Here's what we know about how Denver city layoffs will work
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston's administration is staying mum on the scope of layoffs set to begin Monday, fueling unease among employees and drawing criticism from inside City Hall and beyond. Why it matters: It remains unclear how many municipal employees will be cut or which departments will be hit — leaving thousands in limbo who've dedicated their careers to serving the city, and leaving residents without answers to how the fallout will affect services they rely on. What they're saying:"This has been the hardest leadership task I've probably ever had to undertake," Johnston told council members this week. The mayor says the job cuts are crucial to help close a projected $250 million budget gap over this year and next, driven by slowing sales tax growth and economic headwinds, including trade tensions and tariffs. How it will work: Layoffs will roll out Monday through Friday, according to Johnston's administration. The city is determining layoffs using a "ranking tool" that scores employees on skills, abilities, performance and years of service — with tenure weighted at 25% across all departments. Severance will include 30 days of paid administrative leave, between two and eight weeks of lump-sum pay, full access to benefits for one month, a health insurance stipend through the end of October, and 120 days of access to the city's Employee Assistance Program. All laid-off employees will also receive a six-month LinkedIn Premium membership to aid in job searching. The other side: Critics, including some council members, have accused Johnston of operating in the dark and eroding public trust. "The process has not been transparent" and lacks a "defined strategy," Councilmember Shontel Lewis said in a statement, adding that the layoffs have created "a culture of fear, anxiety, and not feeling valued." Workers "feel like Mayor Mike Johnston has betrayed them," Ronnie Houston, a longtime local organizer with the Teamsters union, told Fox31.

Denver city employees to learn of layoffs next month
Denver employees will learn in a few weeks if they're being laid off. Denver Mayor Mike Johnston emailed employees, saying layoffs will start the week of Aug. 18. A two-page letter CBS News Colorado obtained outlines the next steps, including possible severance packages. The city has already posted a "Layoff Separation Guide" on its website. We don't know the exact number of people who will be laid off. Denver's executive director of human resources told Investigator Brian Maass last month that likely "hundreds" would be let go. In the letter, Johnston said one priority is "protecting core city services." And he said, "... we need to build a budget that fits within the revenues we have." Johnston announced earlier this summer a hiring freeze and furloughs of city workers after sharing that the city of Denver faced a $50 million budget deficit this year. Johnston sat down with CBS Colorado anchor Michael Spencer and said the city faces a $200 million shortfall in 2026. "We're going to keep officers on the street. We're going to keep trash getting picked up. We're going to keep our parks and rec centers clean and open," Johnston told Spencer. The letter says that after being notified of their layoffs, employees will get 30 days of administrative leave. Eligible employees also learned how much severance they'll receive. And it says retiring and probationary employees are not entitled to severance. Johnston thanked employees for their service. "These are not easy days, and these are not easy decisions. Every role in the city matters, and every person in those roles has contributed to our city in meaningful ways," he said.

Vehicle smashes through multiple Pinecrest Plaza storefronts
The Monongalia County Sheriff's Department is investigating how a vehicle ended up driving through roughly 100 feet of storefronts off Point Marion Road on Thursday. According to information shared by MCSD, deputies were alerted to an accident at Pinecrest Plaza at 11:40 arrived to find a vehicle completely inside the mixed-use building owned by RDR Properties, which falls under Metro Property Management. Two vehicles in the parking lot were hit and received heavy damage before the wayward Buick struck the building at a shallow angle and plowed through multiple vacant storefronts before partially exiting the building approximately 100 feet away. Dave Biafora, representing Metro Property Management, said he believes a medical issue caused the driver to lose control. Both the driver and passenger of the vehicle received on-scene treatment before being transported to J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital for further care, according to the MCSD. 'Luckily, nobody got really hurt,' Biafora said, explaining the storefronts to the right of the entry point are occupied, while those that ended up in the line of travel are not. 'There was damage to the building, obviously, and all the storefronts – drywall, interior walls, ceiling lights. He basically took out the left half of the building,' Biafora said. 'That type of structure, the basement and lower level is all concrete and metal and steel. The top floor is all wood. The way the car actually went in the middle of the storefronts and came out almost at the end was absolutely amazing, truly.' According to Biafora, tenants in the 18 second-floor apartments were not required to relocate as the apartments were not damaged and the building remains structurally sound. He said facilities personnel with MPM had the site cleaned up by 4 p.m. or so. 'You go back up and look and you'll just think someone took the doors and windows out. It's all cleaned up, everything is stabilized, the building's inspected, the fire alarms checked, the power company came through and everything's good,' he said. In addition to the sheriff's department, Mon EMS, Cheat Lake Fire Rescue and Brookhaven Fire Rescue responded to the scene.
