This was a joint meeting of the Mayor of Denver and the Denver City Council, held on Tuesday, April 14, 2026. The meeting included brief announcements from council members, updates on city initiatives, a motion to move into executive session, and no public testimony or discussion of substantive agenda items. The session was short, as a longer executive session was planned for after the public portion.

Follow along as the mayor and city council members hear updates from city agencies and projects, discuss important city matters, and hear about what's happening across the Mile High City.
