Bennett Board Set to Weigh Elected Official Pay Ordinance; Planning Commission Reviews Housing Types
The Bennett Town Board of Trustees is scheduled to hold a public hearing and vote on an ordinance that would raise compensation for future mayors and trustees, according to the July 28, 2026, regular meeting agenda. Minutes from that meeting have not yet been published, so outcomes are not yet confirmed.
Board of Trustees — July 28, 2026
The Board's regular meeting agenda lists Ordinance No. 820-26, which would amend the municipal code to increase compensation for future mayors and trustees. The item is set for a public hearing and vote. Because only the agenda is available and minutes have not been published, the result of the vote is not yet in the record.
Also on the agenda:
- A request from Muegge Farms Metropolitan District No. 3 for an extended cure period regarding the Penrith Road development agreement.
- Recognition of 2026 Bennett Gives Back Award recipients.
- Consent agenda items including approval of the July 14, 2026, regular meeting minutes.
Board of Trustees Study Session — July 28, 2026
A same-day study session agenda includes two items:
- The Arapahoe County Sheriff's Second Quarter Report for 2026. The agenda notes the report was not available at the time of publication.
- A Community & Economic Development Department progress report, presented via a Smartsheet online dashboard.
No votes are scheduled in a study session, and minutes are not yet published.
Planning and Zoning Commission Study Session — July 20, 2026
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a study session to review alternative housing types and receive town development updates. Agenda items listed:
- Discussion on alternative housing types with Planning Manager Steven Hoese.
- Town development updates from Planner I Paul Venable.
This was a study session with no formal decisions scheduled. Minutes have not been published, so what was discussed beyond the agenda headings is not in the record.
What this means for residents
The compensation ordinance, if adopted, would affect pay for future mayors and trustees — not current officeholders, based on the agenda language. The Muegge Farms item concerns a development agreement tied to Penrith Road. The Planning Commission's housing discussion signals ongoing review of what types of housing Bennett may allow, though no formal proposal or vote is on the record from the study session.
Because all three meetings are listed as "agenda only" with minutes not yet published, this roundup reflects what was scheduled for consideration, not what was decided. Readers should check the official town documents for confirmed outcomes once minutes are posted.
Coming up
No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days (through August 17, 2026), according to the data provided. Residents should watch the town's official calendar for newly posted meetings.
