Broomfield council sends four-year mayor terms to voters
The 9-1 vote puts a proposed charter amendment before Broomfield voters for the Nov. 3, 2026, coordinated election, subject to certification. The changes would begin with the 2027 municipal election.
Broomfield City Council voted 9-1 July 14 to submit a charter amendment to voters that would give future mayors four-year terms and limit them to two consecutive terms. The question is slated for the Nov. 3, 2026, coordinated election, subject to certification, and the changes would begin with the 2027 municipal election.
The vote came on the second and final reading of Ordinance 2309 after a public hearing. The council approved the ordinance and ordered it published in full, according to the meeting record. The record does not identify the councilmember who cast the lone no vote.
The ordinance would amend Section 4.3 of the Broomfield Charter. Its four-year term and two-consecutive-term limit would apply prospectively to future mayors elected beginning in 2027; the changes would not affect the current mayor’s term. Voters, rather than the council, will decide whether to amend the charter.
The measure is identified as “Proposed Charter Amendment No. 1A.” The July 14 agenda listed the ordinance as a second-reading public hearing.
