“Thank you, Council President, and to Council Member Torres and the service providers and all the folks that put together the Food Summit. What an amazing opportunity to sit, listen, and to look at really what we should be doing together in the future. So thank you so much, Council Member Torres. I know that you've led that for many years, and I'm so happy for that to come to fruition, at least as first step. I want to remind community members that Data Center Working Group, we are still taking applications. Applications opened on August 21st. We'll close this Friday, September 4th. If you…”

“Thank you so much, Council President. Two quick look-backs at an amazing weekend in Denver. The Flocken Zoo for the Denver Zoo, an amazing event for family, friends, and everyone.

Thousands of folks. Actually, it was just about a thousand folks there. But it was a packed hall with great folks from around the city putting themselves out there to dance for two and a half minutes for a room full of about a…”

“The Denver City Council honors and acknowledges the land on which we reside is a traditional territory of the Ute, Cheyenne, and Arapaho peoples. We also recognize the 48 contemporary tribal nations that are historically tied to the lands that make up the state of Colorado. We honor elders past, present, and future, and those who have stewarded this land throughout generations. We also recognize that government, academic, and cultural institutions were founded upon and continue to enact exclusions and erasures of indigenous peoples. May this acknowledgement demonstrate a commitment to working…”

“Thank you so much, Council President. It's tough for me to, once again, to have to make this announcement. Many of our neighbors that live in Park Hill along 17th Avenue for the last three years, I know since I've been city council member, have communicated their concerns about speeds and speeding along that corridor. We've held several meetings over the last three years and have made small initial steps to provide for safer streets. This past week, unfortunately, someone lost their lives on that avenue. Many of the community members that I'm familiar with, that I've spent time with in these…”
