Denverite: The Denver City Council will trek to the top of Lookout Mountain on Friday to discuss the city’s gloomy 2026 budget in Golden’s Boettcher Mansion.

At the retreat, council members will try to reach  a consensus on what big priorities the city should be funding. Afterward, Council President Amanda Sandoval will present the results to Mayor Mike Johnston as he drafts the 2026 budget. 

Friday’s all-day conversation is likely going to be a tough one: The city is facing the threat of budget stagnation and cuts for years to come.
