After years of work and the stress that comes with it, many employees can start to get tired or face burnout at their jobs. Often, that feeling leads to employees searching for a new job. However, the City of Englewood is offering a new solution, and so far, it’s working. 

Starting Jan. 1, 2026, Englewood began to offer the option of a sabbatical to long-tenured employees. Employees could, depending on how long they had been working for the city, take an extended break to relax and recharge before returning to their work. 

Ricky Roybal-Smith, 39, has been sentenced to 30 years in prison, followed by five years of parole, for the 2022 killing of Meg Eberhart. 

is it just me or has there been a major influx of homeless folks hanging around 285 & broadway? any reason for this?

This week’s Question of the Week is: What’s your favorite Englewood restaurant and why is it your favorite? Restaurant owners not eligible to participate ; ). Let Englewood know!

Read outgoing City Manager Shawn Lewis' reflections on his tenure with the city.

In-between Belleview and Oxford just now. Does anyone know what's going on? Couldn't find anything about it online.

New restaurant opening up Belleview and Broadway where the Brewery and coffee shop was (southwest corner of the intersection )

Updated -- It turns out that if you use less than 9,640 gallons of water per month, Englewood's new tiered rate plan saves you money.

Here's the TL:DR original:

As an editor, I often think "they should have hired an editor," and I'm thinking that right now after reading Englewood Utilities' explanation of the new tiered water rates.

I was gonna call today to ask a question but a couple of my grandkids wiped me out and I fell asleep until after business hours.

So ... the cutoff for tiers is 6000 gallons a month. To barely keep my lawn on life support this year means I'm using about 7000 gallons a month.

Here's my question: Will I be billed for 6000 gallons at the lower rate and 1000 gallons at the higher rate, OR will all 7000 gallons be billed at the higher rate?

Thanks, neighbors!

Hi Englewood neighbors -- If you get Othoniel's email updates you probably already saw this, but if not, Englewood Utilities Director Pieter Van Ry will appear before the Englewood Water and Sewer Board this Tuesday, August 11, in a meeting that starts at 5 p.m., where he will make a case for a resolution that would call on Englewood City Council to impose mandatory water-use restrictions for people who get their water from Englewood. The current voluntary restrictions urge watering no more than three days a week, and whether mandatory restrictions would impose a two-day-a-week schedule is not clear from the vague agenda item.
