What this means
The committee did not hold a regular meeting but the consent agenda confirmed two people the mayor nominated to the Denver Convention Center Hotel Authority. Each appointee received a fixed term and will serve until their term ends or until a successor is appointed. For residents, this means those nominees are now official members of the Authority and will participate in its work; contact the City Council for details or questions about the Authority's activities.
