Summary of Proceedings

Brighton City Council Special Meeting - June 25, 2024

The Brighton City Council met in a special session on June 25, 2024 at 5:30 PM in Council Chambers. The meeting included a consent agenda, swearing-in of a new board member, introduction of summer interns, final adoption of an ordinance waiving water dedication fees for affordable housing, and approval of a $4.5 million transportation preservation contract. All votes were unanimous (9-0 or 5-0).

Consent Calendar

  • Appointment to Parks & Recreation Advisory Board: Council approved a resolution appointing Keith Mutz as an at-large member to fill an unexpired term through January 2027. (9-0)

Ceremonies

  • Swearing-In: Keith Mutz was sworn in as a member of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. Mutz expressed his desire to make a difference in the community.
  • Introduction of 2024 Growing Grads Interns: Youth Services Coordinator Rachel Keeley presented ten of the fourteen summer interns. The program saw 85 youth attend the summer job launch (highest since 2020) and 58 applicants for 14 positions. Interns introduced themselves and their assigned departments.

Discussion Items

  • Ordinance Amending Fee-in-Lieu of Water Dedication for Affordable Housing (ID-177-24): This was the final reading of an ordinance amending Brighton Municipal Code Sections 13-4-05 and 13-4-10(a) to reduce or eliminate water dedication fees for affordable housing projects. Councilmember Padilla moved approval, stating it benefits development of new affordable housing. Councilmember Taddeo seconded. The motion passed 5-0 (some council members were absent or recused? The roll call shows 5-0, but full council is 9 members; likely some were absent or did not vote on ordinance).

  • Resolution for 2024 Transportation Preservation and Improvement Project (ID-194-24): Public Works representative Joseph Leon presented the $4,506,947 contract with A-1 Chipseal Company for road preservation across Brighton, including safety improvements, striping, and sharrows on roads like Baseline Road and Bromley Lane. He added slides in response to feedback from the June 11 study session, showing a list of priority areas and those postponed to 2025. Council discussed alley paving (raised by Councilmember Pawlowski) and the need for a longer-term plan. Councilmember Snyder and Johnston expressed concern about always being behind on road maintenance. City Manager Martinez noted the two-year budget cycle offers an opportunity for better planning. The resolution passed 9-0.
