The city's official meeting calendar — agendas, packets, and any change made after this was written.
Speaking at this meeting
To speak to Colorado Springs City Council in person, attend a REGULAR meeting and sign up to speak in Council Chambers (3rd floor of City Hall, 107 N. Nevada Avenue). Regular meetings are 9:00 AM on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month.
IMPORTANT: public comment is taken ONLY at regular meetings, NOT at the Monday work sessions — per Council's Rules and Procedures, a work session 'is not a time for public comment on items scheduled for discussion unless noticed otherwise on the agenda or permitted by the President'. Do not tell someone to show up at a work session to speak.
WHEN YOU'LL BE CALLED: for a topic NOT on the agenda, you speak during 'Citizen Discussion', which is item 6 of 15 in the order of business — early in the meeting, after the Consent Calendar and Recognitions and before Mayor's Business, New Business and Public Hearings. Council moved its start time to 9:00 AM in November 2024 specifically so residents would have a more consistent, earlier time for Citizen Discussion instead of waiting. For a topic that IS on the agenda, you speak when that item is heard (during its public hearing, or after it is pulled from the Consent Calendar), not during Citizen Discussion.
TIME LIMIT: three (3) minutes per speaker, for both Citizen Discussion and testimony on legislative items. The Council President may modify the limit or cap total time on a subject, and time is kept by the City Clerk and strictly enforced. Remarks must be germane to the subject.
IN WRITING INSTEAD: email AllCouncil@coloradosprings.gov ahead of the meeting, for either general comments or a specific agenda item.
ACCESSIBILITY: anyone needing an auxiliary aid should contact the Office of the City Council at least 48 hours before the meeting. Agendas post the Wednesday before a regular meeting — check the agenda to see whether your topic is already listed, since that determines when you speak.
Making sense of the numbers
Each item below carries up to three different numbers. They are not versions of each other:
Agenda number (like 4A.A.) — where the item sits in this meeting's running order. It changes every meeting, so it is useless for tracking anything over time.
File number (like 26-324, or ZONE-26-0012 for land-use cases) — the city's permanent identifier for the matter itself. It stays the same from first reading to final vote, so this is the one to search on if you want to follow something.
Ordinance number (like Ordinance No. 26-39, inside the title) — assigned only once something becomes an actual ordinance. Only some items have one.
The file number and the ordinance number both begin with the year, which makes them look related. They are not: they count different things. For example, file 26-324 became Ordinance 26-39, while the earlier file 26-295 became Ordinance 26-46.
