Summary

This ordinance approves a supplemental appropriation of $4,970,000.00 to the Denver Arts and Venues Special Revenue Fund (15815). The additional funds are needed to cover increased operational expenditures due to higher minimum wage rates and strong event activity. These costs include services such as cleaning, janitorial, theater production support, and event public safety and security. The appropriation is offset by higher revenues generated from increased event activity and does not impact the General Fund budget. The Committee approved filing this item on November 18, 2025.
