Denver Mayor Mike Johnston announced that he will not exercise his veto authority and accept all 10 of the Denver City Council’s amendments to his proposed 2026 spending plan, which means his proposed $1.66 billion budget, as amended, is poised to become the city’s official budget after an official City Council vote on Monday.

The council will also consider a resolution approving a proposed amendment between Denver and The Salvation Army, which will allow the agency to continue providing rapid resolution services for the homeless or those facing housing instability. 

The amendment, if passed, will add $541,054 and two years to an existing contract. 

In another proposed resolution, the city would add $4.6 million to a separate Salvation Army contract to operate and provide services at Crossroads, a 24/7 low-barrier emergency shelter in Council District 9.

Additionally, there are three new resolutions, totaling $6.7 million, that would provide free eviction legal services to nearly 5,200 qualified households citywide.

Elsewhere on the agenda is a resolution proposing a $40,000 liability settlement, payable to Judith Myers and the Ramos Law Firm. The payment would approve a settlement involving the Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure’s Wastewater Division.

Four proclamations are slated for Monday’s meeting. They are as follows:

• 25-1853: Honoring Mile Hi Veterans and Leadership Veteran for Veterans Day 2025

• 25-1854: Recognizing October as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month 
• 25-1855: Honoring the Día de los Muertos Parade and Festival
• 25-1851: Honoring Gregory D. Feasel, president and chief operating officer of the Colorado Rockies

There is one required public hearing in the 5:30 p.m. session. This hearing concerns Council Bill 25-1445, which proposes changing the zoning classification for 890 N. Grove St. in the Villa Park neighborhood from E-SU-D to E-RX-3.

The Denver City Council will hold its regular meeting on Monday at 3:30 p.m., with the general public comment session scheduled to begin at 5 p.m.
