Presenter: Corey Hoffmann, Hoffmann , Parker, Wilson & Carberry, P.C. On January 26, 2026, the City received information regarding alleged improper ex parte communications by Councilmember Sharon Davis concerning the Welby Gardens Project, a Conditional Use application heard by the City Council in its quasi-judicial capacity. Pursuant to Section 2-378(c) of the Arvada City Code, the City retained an independent investigator who issued a report dated April 13, 2026. The investigation concluded that Councilmember Davis engaged in ex parte communications via voicemail and text message seeking support for the project, which were inconsistent with best practices and training provided to the City Council. However, because the Code does not define "party in interest," this Resolution contains a finding that the communications cannot be determined to be "with any party in interest or with their representative" within the meaning of Section 2-375(10). The Arvada team brings forward for Council consideration, R26-062, A Resolution Pursuant to Section 2-378 of the Arvada City Code Determining That It Is More Likely Than Not That a Violation of Section 2-375(10) Did Not Occur Because of a Technical Deficiency in the City's Adopted Code of Ethics, and Therefore Determining to Dismiss the Complaint Alleging Misconduct of Councilmember Sharon Davis.

What it covers: the record exactly as the official source publishes it — its identifiers (bill number, session, jurisdiction), its official title and long title, its official summary, its status, its sponsors in published order, every recorded action, every recorded vote, and the link to each official text version — assembled in a fixed canonical form described on the How this data works page.
The fingerprint does not cover our retrieval date (the “Data as of” stamp in the source line): re-fetching unchanged official content produces the same fingerprint, while any change to the official content changes it.
If you recompute the fingerprint from the official source and get a different value, one of us is out of date — please report it through the corrections log.
