Superior meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Superior's 2027 budgets, Coyote Ridge trail questions and youth council applicants fill a week of agendas — with no recorded outcomes yet

Five Superior public bodies met between Oct. 7 and Oct. 16, and the heaviest item on any of their agendas was the Town Council's Oct. 12 set of public hearings on 2027 budgets and property taxes. But as of today, only agendas have been published for all five meetings. No minutes, vote tallies, dollar figures or final outcomes are available in the records reviewed, so nothing below should be read as a decision.

Town Council: 2027 budget and property tax hearings

The Council's Oct. 12 agenda scheduled public hearings on the Town of Superior's 2027 Budget, Appropriations, Fee Schedule and Property Taxes. Separate hearings were listed for the Superior/McCaslin Interchange Metropolitan District 2027 Budget and Property Taxes, the Superior Urban Renewal Authority 2027 Budget, and the Superior Metropolitan District No. 1 2027 Budget.

The same agenda listed updates on waste collection and several construction projects, and a resolution concerning a Waterwise Landscape Transformation Roadmap and Turfgrass Reduction Tool. The agenda does not state what the resolution would do beyond that title, and no amounts were included in the materials summarized here.

Open Space Advisory Committee: Coyote Ridge and a trail proposal

On Oct. 14, the Open Space Advisory Committee was set to take up Pointe Strategies' recommendations for Coyote Ridge and the subcommittee's trail clarification recommendations. Also listed was an endorsement of the McCaslin-High Plaines Multi-Use Trail Proposal, along with the Prairie Dog Management Plan and the committee's 2027 Work Plan. Whether the endorsement was given is not established by the agenda.

Youth Leadership Council: five applicants and Monster Mash

The Superior Youth Leadership Council's Oct. 7 agenda scheduled interviews for five applicants — Austin Smith, Ian Feldman, Victor Feldman, Levi Johnson and Gina Miceli — plus a vote on a budget for the Monster Mash event. Members were also to discuss the 2026-2027 Work Plan survey and plan the Marshall Fire Remembrance event on Dec. 18. The budget figure put to the vote was not included in the agenda summary.

Environmental and historical commissions

On Oct. 8, the Advisory Committee for Environmental Sustainability was scheduled to review its 2027 Workplan, holiday events and swag, end-of-year meetings and a contact directory.

On Oct. 16, the Superior Historical Commission was set to review its Q4 2026 budget report, the status of the Grasso grant, Q1 2027 "Hello Superior" content, the Marshall Fire Remembrance subcommittee and the Superior Community Center.

What these records do and do not show

Every entry in this week's roundup is marked "agenda only (minutes not yet published)." That means the listed items were scheduled for discussion or action, not that they were acted on. No vote counts, no dollar amounts and no approved budgets appear in the records reviewed. Absence of minutes is not evidence that an item was dropped or failed — it means the outcome has not yet been documented in the materials available.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings were listed for the next 14 days in the records reviewed. Residents who want to follow the 2027 budget hearings, the Coyote Ridge recommendations or the youth council appointments should watch for published minutes from the Oct. 7–16 meetings, which will carry the actual votes and figures.

Superior Town Council to hold Oct. 12 hearings on 2027 budgets and property taxes

Superior's Town Council is scheduled to hold four public hearings on 2027 budgets and property taxes at its Oct. 12 meeting, the most far-reaching item on the town's recent meeting agendas. Agendas have been published for the meeting, but minutes are not yet available, so no decisions, votes, or final figures from that session can be confirmed.

Town Council: 2027 budget and tax hearings (Oct. 12)

The Oct. 12 agenda lists four separate public hearings:

• Town 2027 Budget, Appropriations, Fee Schedule, and Property Taxes
• Superior/McCaslin Interchange Metropolitan District 2027 Budget and Property Taxes
• Superior Urban Renewal Authority 2027 Budget
• Superior Metropolitan District No. 1 2027 Budget

A public hearing is a scheduled opportunity for residents to comment on a proposal; the hearing itself does not set a budget or a tax rate. The same agenda lists updates on waste collection and several construction projects, and a resolution concerning the Waterwise Landscape Transformation Roadmap and Turfgrass Reduction Tool. No dollar amounts for the proposed budgets appear in the summary provided.

Youth Leadership Council: interviews and Monster Mash budget (Oct. 7)

The Superior Youth Leadership Council's Oct. 7 agenda listed interviews for five applicants: Austin Smith, Ian Feldman, Victor Feldman, Levi Johnson, and Gina Miceli. Members were also scheduled to vote on a budget for the Monster Mash event and to discuss the 2026-2027 Work Plan survey. Planning for a Marshall Fire Remembrance event on Dec. 18 was also on the agenda. Minutes have not been published, so the outcome of the interviews and any budget vote are not known.

Environmental committee: 2027 workplan (Oct. 8)

The Advisory Committee for Environmental Sustainability (ACES) met Oct. 8 with an agenda covering the ACES 2027 Workplan, holiday events and swag, end-of-year meetings, and the committee's contact directory. Minutes have not been published.

Coming up

Oct. 14 - Open Space Advisory Committee (OSAC). The agenda lists Pointe Strategies Coyote Ridge recommendations, Coyote Ridge Subcommittee trail clarification recommendations, an endorsement of the McCaslin-High Plaines Multi-Use Trail proposal, the Prairie Dog Management Plan, and a 2027 Work Plan discussion.

Oct. 16 - Superior Historical Commission (SHC). The agenda lists the Q4 2026 budget report, the Grasso grant status, planning for Q1 2027 Hello Superior content, a review of the Marshall Fire Remembrance subcommittee, and discussion of the Superior Community Center.

All three recent meetings summarized above were agenda-only; minutes had not been published as of Oct. 13, so this roundup describes what was scheduled, not what was decided.

Superior: Open Space committee approves trail signage; council to weigh fire code, playground contract

At its Aug. 10 meeting, the Town Council held a public hearing on adopting the 2024 International Fire Code and considered a design-build contract with Altitude Recreation, Inc. for the Pirate Park Playground Renovation Project. The agenda also included an intergovernmental agreement with the Boulder County Clerk for the 2026 coordinated election, a resolution supporting Senate Bill 4505 on ZIP code designations, and a presentation on the Physical Security Assessment of Town Buildings.
