City Attorney Carrie Daggett
• The United States Supreme Court will be hearing oral arguments in the Johnson v. Grants Pass
Oregon case restricting enforcement of homeless camp bans, which is likely to have an impact on

planned and discussed by Council last year.
Mayor Pro Tem Emily Francis
• Asked about current progress on Appeals process review. It was added there is a plan to review the
appeals that have come up this year so far after completion of the May 7 appeal, to inform a future
work session discussion. Staff will look towards August as a potential time frame to have this
discussion and will address it at the Executive Team’s weekly meeting. It was noted that the appeals
process has had a significant impact on project timelines, sometimes despite the lack of substantive
issues with an approved project.
• The dynamics of the development review process and how they impact public expectations and
barriers to housing development in the community were discussed.

to be regulated by the State of Colorado and the implications of the State staffing for this far-reaching
program.
