For an ordinance enacting a new article XI, chapter 27 of the Denver Revised Municipal Code requiring unit owners’ associations to notify homeowners of certain rights when initiating a foreclosure action and consolidating existing notice and disclosure duties for tenant rights. The last regularly scheduled Council meeting within the 30-day review period is on 6-27-22. The Committee approved filing this item at its meeting on 5-25-22.
Final consideration of Council Bill 22 dust 590 has been postponed until after the hearing on Council Bill 22. That's 589 this evening. Madam Secretary, would you please put the next item up on our screens? I wanted to offer a comment around the foreclosure notice bill that my office and I worked on, along with community members in the Green Valley Ranch neighborhood, where we found out in early February that there were approximately 50 homes that were slated for foreclosure due to a very aggressive homeowners association. And I want to thank our different city agencies, our housing office host, the Office of Financial Empowerment and Protection, the multiple nonprofits throughout the city that acted as housing counselors . And so back to our attorney and then also the attorney general's office who helped us collect additional information and then our colleagues at the state House. The House Bill 22, Dash 1137, allowed a narrow window of opportunity for us to legislate and to require that, if any A wants to start foreclosure proceedings, they must first at least 30 days prior to that, they must first make sure that they are providing that homeowner with their rights and resources so they can be assured that they will know how to mitigate any possible foreclosure and stay in their homes. And so I would ask my colleagues for their support on that this evening. And that. Oh, we've got Councilmember Kinney. I'm sorry. Go ahead, Ted. Thank you. Council President. I first just wanted to thank you. You have been just a fierce champion for not just the residents of your own district, but honestly, for residents across the state who might be experiencing these things in your advocacy for the state Bill. And I'm really excited to support this local bill that you brought forward. One piece that is related to the fight that has been happening in Green Valley Ranch is that some of those foreclosures began with things as simple as not bringing in your trash and recycling bins. And that was something that Councilman Gilmore and host and supportive advocates helped to dig up and bring light to. And I'm very proud of, in addition to voting for this bill tonight, providing those residents that advance notice. There is also a provision on the bill we just voted for, I think 685, the solid waste bill that prohibits H0 A's from charging any penalties at all for use of our right of way that we don't ourselves have penalties for. So it is not any more if this, you know, the prior bill that we voted on, if that bill goes into effect, it would reinforce the fact that we cannot even start the penalty or find process for bins in the right of way, much less have those fines or penalties start to compound to the point where they get to a foreclosure. So for those following that issue, wanted you to know that there was also something that we could do on this issue in that other bill. So together, trying to help to protect more of those homeowners from unconscionable fees or penalties, fines or penalties, plus from, you know, not having enough information about what's happening to them when this property starts to get these notices. So, again, thank you very much for this bill tonight and just wanted to draw that little connection to the prior bill. Thank you. Thank you so much, Councilmember Kenny. An important line to draw where we're trying to work together on mitigating any negative effects through fines and fees for homeowners. And so appreciate your partnership as well.
