Council Approves El Pueblo Church Lease

Also, today the Council voted to approve a lease agreement for The United Methodist Church at El Pueblo. This church has been around for a century and I am happy to have helped them secure a lease that allows them to stay at El Pueblo for at least 30 more years while also honoring our separation of church and state laws. The church is also creating a museum that will be open to all visitors.

Tentative Agreement Reached to Keep Church at El Pueblo

I’m happy I was able to broker a tentative agreement between the United Methodist Church at El Pueblo and the City. I introduced a motion in May establishing a City working group, which included my staff and church leaders. I’ll introduce a motion Friday with details of the agreement, which make sure the Methodist Church will remain at El Pueblo as they have for nearly 100 years. Read details here.
