Top issues during term (10)(General)

high↓Aug 2026[19]

Hyperscale data center moratorium

Potential protections could include letters of credit or bonds from any future data center developer; taxes would flow from assessed property value.

medium↑Nov 2026[15]

Solidarity Mural covering during presidential visit

Taxpayers could end up covering the cost of policy reviews, staff time, or legal challenges tied to how the city handled the protest.

high↓Jun 2026[6]

Data center ordinance input

Residents fear lost home equity and higher water and electricity costs; data centers could raise tax revenue but at a quality-of-life cost.

high↑Oct 2026[5]

city property purchase

You're on the hook for part of $3.4M upfront, and any renovation or moving costs could add to the tab.

high↓Jul 2026[2]

Greenhouse Project Spending Transparency

A $146,000 unbudgeted capital expenditure, reportedly funded from FY25 general fund savings later committed to Denver Air subsidies.

high↓Jun 2023[0]

city staff and business community conflict

No specific cost is cited, but the rift could create uncertainty for local business dealings and city initiatives if it persists.

high↓Dec 2025[0]

airport service cuts

Cutting flights could save the city money upfront but hurt local spending and make travel more expensive or time-consuming for residents and businesses.

medium↓Mar 2025[0]

hotel code enforcement

If the city cracks down, taxpayers could shoulder enforcement costs while the hotel and nearby businesses risk lost room and visitor revenue.

high↓Jul 2025[0]

human rights ordinance amendment

The direct budget impact is likely minimal—mostly city staff time to update rules and handle complaints—but it avoids the legal and reputational costs of a patchwork or challenged ordinance.

high↓Mar 2023[0]

city facility management contract

The city could save money or take on new costs depending on the contract, so watch for subsidies, revenue splits, and who eats losses.
