The weekly session of the Denver Mayor and City Council convened on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, at 4:30 PM local time. The meeting began with brief audio technical difficulties, then proceeded with councilmember announcements and a single update from the Mayor regarding a recent agreement between Comcast and Kroenke Sports & Entertainment to end a six-year blackout of Nuggets and Avalanche games. The meeting then moved into executive session to discuss the city's response to recent federal actions.
Welcome to this meeting of the mayor and Denver City Council. At this weekly session, city agencies brief the mayor and council members on various proposals and projects across the city. This meeting of the mayor and city council members begins now. We are not live, it turns out that you talk. Um we were all taking care of each other here. Welcome back to Mayor Council. Um we did a dry run rehearsal of what we wanted to share with you without the audio working, so we're now going to come back and share those things with you again. Uh and we think they'll be very informative. There will be even better practice. So I think we can skip the introductions. But I would like to welcome anyone has announcements they would like to share. Councilman Sawyer. I'd like to start over. Thank you.
