While the city released its 'playbook,' the council advanced two bills that will help meet the $90 million migrant budget.
The cost-saving plan introduced by Mayor Mike Johnston to handle migrant services this week cleared obstacles in Denver City Council , which gave the green light to $45 million worth of budget cuts and contracts with nonprofits." to guide other cities through the a step-by-step response to a migrant crisis used by Denver, by offering onward transportation, shelter and food.
One takes $6 million from completed infrastructure and park improvement projects that had money left over. The other cuts $32 million from two dozen city agencies, including $8 million from the police department, $4 million from the sheriff's department, $2.5 million from the fire department and $164,000 from the Mayor's Office.
The mayor's $90 million plan"has the least footprint on city services that we could imagine," he added According to Tony Anderson, chief workforce development officer for the Denver Department of Economic Development and Opportunity, the $2.3 million contract will only train 500 migrants from May 1 to June 30.
Migrants will get matched up with a job coach; learn what they need in order to get certified in workplace inspection, first aid, CPR or early childhood care; and even get classes in English and financial and digital literacy.
