MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 2, 2025
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Delynn Coldiron, City Clerk
RE: Leadership Planning Team (LPT) Meeting
Mayor Jeni Arndt, Mayor Pro Tem Emily Francis, City Manager Kelly DiMartino, City Attorney Carrie
Daggett, Deputy City Manager Tyler Marr and City Clerk Delynn Coldiron met remotely on Monday,
August 25, 2025. The following summarizes the discussions that began at 8:00 a.m.
September 2, 2025 Regular Meeting:
• Item #17 – Public Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance 145,2025, Amending the Zoning Map
related to the Moor Annexation – The issues raised at the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
were related to zoning. If this item gets pulled, a hearing will be held giving all parties an opportunity
to comment.
• Item #21 – Resolution 2025-082, Referring to the voters Ordinance 141, 2025, Expressing Support
for the Recommendations of the Civic Assembly Process - Six protests were received related to the
ballot title and submission clause for this item. An email will be provided to Council that outlines a
proposed process for the hearing. The suggested process includes:
1. Hearing all six protests in one hearing, giving 5 minutes for each protest presentation;
2. Giving Council time to ask questions and get any needed clarifications;
3. Giving Council time for comments/deliberation;
4. Making motions to determine the outcome of each protest
Can do this through a bundled motion if the outcome is the same for multiple items; or
Can have individual motions for any protests Council desires to consider separately.
5. Council will then take comment on and consider Resolution 2025-082.

interview highlighting her department and the different approaches that are being taken related to
recreation. A link to the story can be found here: https://www.denver7.com/news/recreation/fort-

Mayor Jeni Arndt
• Asked about the process to schedule the Ethics Review Board. Sarah Kane will be looking for dates
that will work for board members sometime in September. The first step will be a screening of the
complaints by the Ethics Review Board since the complaints relate to board and commission
members. Senior Deputy City Attorney Jenny Lopez Filkins will be taking the lead on advising the
Board.
• Attended a recent Urban Renewal Authority board meeting. Kudos to the board for all the great work
that is occurring.
Meeting adjourned at 8:27 am.
