Williams said investments will include classroom upgrades and technology for teachers. He also announced several dates: homecoming is Oct. 3; the district will hold listening sessions on a proposed cell-phone policy on Oct. 7, Oct. 13, Oct. 20 and Oct. 24 with different stakeholder groups, including parents, students and educators. Williams said Oct. 17 is a no-contact day when students will not be in school.

Williams invited board members and residents to attend those events and said the district’s strategic plan is approved by the city council as of Aug. 25. He said further stakeholder meetings in October will identify activities that roll up into strategic goals and operational roles for the district and schools.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Library Board September 18, 2025 Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Devon Williams, the Englewood schools liaison to the board, outlined the district's long-term planning, said the district is offsetting a mill levy increase to avoid added taxpayer burden and listed listening-session dates for a proposed district cell-phone policy plus homecoming and no-contact day dates.","taxTitle","Englewood City, Arapahoe County, Colorado","taxId",52219,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6467365,"City council liaison outlines phased plan to redevelop city-owned City Center property; public hearing set",241,1331000,1572000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5797344-0d2a6a392e35a4b6fae865b45d41eb4f&start=1331&end=1572","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5797344-0d2a6a392e35a4b6fae865b45d41eb4f/thumbnail_1331000.jpg","/articles/6467365/Englewood-City/Arapahoe-County/Colorado/City-council-liaison-outlines-phased-plan-to-redevelop-city-owned-City-Center-property-public-hearing-set","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6467365-73ee642b311f4460869054890fccc758/orig.mp4?Expires=1771145532&Signature=RoaN6f7XiV5~3jeh9~dcDy8ZBw-zf2Tyf1~71GCO8kba08eku7G2aHxwwsGdXrsoD7liNCC9-naX-GgiZQOmQPleZOR6QqcTLmxVWRtxFPTZvcTP8UlQvriSUG-5piXJ0H1HWB3cGhU1jOQIhFQ~6dfVeyTZUx4~Etykxvfc5JRpVgY-nkAIjjL5pZ6y6RiL3oi~-JOOdI5NI5XGLKVQV54nL~tYdBZOZRE1pMpPoXj8y6F-QoUJ-Vr0W4q~lPNPW0nD4vO1cBEiUFiCYL0LmKgmcngeP76AESjJsa3KiW8NErJgNMJxizSqmbRmdCVqrw8Oq06Wk8glMqTKB5Y3-w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City council liaison Chelsea Noon told the Englewood City Library Advisory Board that city leaders have reached a tentative, phased agreement with a private developer to redevelop a large swath of city-owned property known as City Center.

Noon said a company that has purchased the existing ground lease — identified in meeting remarks as New Englewood LLC — would receive tracts of city land in phases. The city would first “release our ground lease” for a defined segment and require the developer to meet benchmarks before releasing additional tracts, Noon said.

Noon said the tract under initial consideration includes the area behind Harbor Freight (identified on a map as “C2” during the presentation) and that the phased approach requires the developer to demonstrate in good faith that it can meet established requirements before further land releases.

Because the proposal would transfer city-owned land under a public-private partnership, the council scheduled a public hearing for its next meeting to gather citizen comment. Noon said council expects to take the agreement forward in a two-step vote in October unless substantive concerns arise during the hearing.

Noon told the board that negotiations included “very stringent . . . design standards” intended to maintain city control and protect taxpayer assets. She invited residents to watch the council session online and to offer comments at the public hearing.

Noon encouraged anyone with questions to speak with her after the meeting; the council hearing date was described as the coming Monday in the transcript.","City council liaison Chelsea Noon described a tentative phased public-private partnership to release portions of a 100-year ground lease to a developer (New Englewood LLC) for mixed-use redevelopment.

Library Director Rachel Feuill reported that both the youth and adult summer-reading programs “exceeded our goals and exceeded our registrations and participation from last year.” Feuill said teen volunteers contributed 301 hours this summer, which she calculated would have been worth about $5,400 at minimum wage.

The board heard details of construction and a temporary closure tied to interior work. Feuill said construction on the south entrance began on Sept. 8 “to make some sight line improvements” and that an emergency-exit door on the building’s northeast side has been installed but is awaiting final elements to be fully secure. She said the library plans a weeklong closure for new flooring, paint, deep carpet cleaning, lighting replacement and high dusting, with the goal of completing work on the 12th and reopening on the 13th.

Staff outlined programming and spending plans for the board discretionary funds: $100 to support a grand-reopening refreshment offering, $250 for trunk-or-treat giveaways and $650 for an end-of-year staff-appreciation contribution. A board member moved to approve the request and the motion passed by voice vote; the transcript does not record a roll-call tally.

Feuill said staff are working with IT to consolidate usage statistics from multiple tools into a single, more actionable report. She also described recent hiring: one part-time associate was moved to full time and additional staff were hired to reduce vacancies. Feuill said cross-training and clearer daily systems are a focus to improve retention and operational stability.

Board members asked about visitor impacts from the closed entrance and about pest control; staff said initial slower traffic on the first day had normalized and that pest treatment is planned to follow the deep clean if recommended. The board approved the spending request with no recorded opposition in the transcript.

Less-critical details: the library intends smaller-scale grand-reopening events during normal hours rather than a single special-hour event; trunk-or-treat plans will include story times and are expected to limit ticket sales to roughly 1,000. Staff training and cross-training are scheduled during the closure.

The board will receive updated usage reports once IT consolidations are complete and staff execute the closure and reopening schedule.","The Englewood City Library Advisory Board approved a $1,000 expenditure for grand-reopening refreshments, trunk-or-treat giveaways and staff appreciation. Library staff reported successful summer reading participation, ongoing south-entrance construction that began Sept. 8 and a planned reopening after a weeklong closure.","actionData","errors"]
