COUNCIL DISTRICT #10 President 2008 - 2009
City Councilmakes laws, budgets City money, and can investigate City agencies. Since 1971, the Council has had
13 members — 11 from equally populated districts and two
elected at large. Council members, who must be 25, U.S. citizens, and
two-year Denver residents, are all elected at the same time every four
years. Council committees, each concerned with various areas of
city government, meet frequently to discuss and prepare proposed laws.
The whole Council traditionally meets on Monday nights with a few
exceptions.

Message from the President of City Council
On behalf of my colleagues on the Denver City Council, I welcome you to the legislative branch of the City & County of Denver. The thirteen of us together are proud to represent the roughly 600,000 residents of this great city – eleven of us elected from our own specific geographical district; two of us elected by the city at-large.
In addition to working directly with our individual constituents, local businesses, and other groups and interests that make up our diverse community, each of us also serves on two of four legislative standing committees. These committees are responsible for managing the legislative workflow and agency oversight for the different areas of activity of city government. They also provide a forum for new ideas to be brought forward and developed, and new issues to be presented and grappled with. Working together with our partners in the executive branch, we ensure that our city government continues to meet the challenges we face and serve our Denver community in the most effective, efficient, and innovative way possible.
Once again, I welcome you to the legislative branch of Denver government. Please come to our Monday night Council meetings, or to any of our weekly committee meetings. All our meetings are open to the public. You can peruse our website for items of interest or concern to you, watch our meetings and deliberations on Denver Channel 8, and even watch previous meetings from the Denver City Council website. All bills and many other materials are available on our website.
We look forward to getting a lot done for you – and, we hope, with you – in the coming year.
Chris Nevitt, PresidentDenver City Council
