Mayor-elect Michael Hancock this week named the co-chairs of DenverForward, the over-all committee he has established to guide the transition process before he takes office on July 18.The committees will make recommendations for the roughly 60 department heads and staff positions Hancock will have the chance to fill as mayor, as well as suggest policy measures for the new administration.

“In just one week after Election Day we have worked with more than 725 volunteers and enlisted more than 350 committee members to ensure we are ready to deliver a great city for all,” said Hancock in a statement. “We could not have hoped for a more talented, more representative group of committee members and co-chairs to help us prepare to implement our positive vision for this city on Day One.”

The day after winning election, Hancock named entrepreneur and economic development expert John Huggins as DenverForward’s CEO and chairman. Huggins ran similar transition efforts for Gov. John Hickenlooper when he was first elected mayor in 2003 and again when he became governor last fall. He served as director of Denver’s Office of Economic Development during Hickenlooper’s first mayoral term.

In addition, the Denver Board of Ethics ruled that Hancock’s transition and inaugural committees can raise funds within certain guidelines. Hancock’s campaign asked the board for advice the day he won election — the first time a mayoral transition team has broached the subject, which isn’t addressed in the city’s ethics policies — and the opinion came down on Monday.

DenverForward, organized as a 501(c)4 nonprofit committee, will accept donations up to $25,000, but not from city lobbyists or anyone with business pending before the city. The committee plans to stick to “strict and timely disclosure and transparency practices,” including an accounting of who solicits which donations.

Hancock’s spokeswoman also announced sketchy plans for inauguration day, including official ceremonies at the Temple Buell Theater, part of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. There will be one big inauguration day celebration, said Amber Miller, but the location and specifics haven’t been determined. In addition, there will likely be a series of smaller, more neighborhood-oriented celebrations held throughout the city.
