City Council Names New Littleton City Attorney

LITTLETON, CO — In a unanimous vote at its July 2 meeting, the Littleton City Council selected Reid Betzing as city attorney. Betzing will start July 22.

Betzing’s legal career includes 12 years of law practice with the City of Arvada.

He also prepared legal memoranda for city council, boards, commissions and departments.

“The council is very pleased to welcome Reid to the city. His municipal law experience combined with his leadership skills and great personality will be an asset to our organization," Littleton Mayor Debbie Brinkman said in a city news post. "We look forward to working with Reid on all of the initiatives council has on the docket. It’s a busy time and we are confident we have the right team to make it happen.”

Betzing also negotiated and drafted infrastructure agreements, leases, licenses, intergovernmental agreements and other contracts, the city said. Previously he served as Lakewood’s deputy city attorney and represented the city in municipal court matters.

“I am very excited to start this new chapter in my career,” Betzing said. “I’m looking forward to utilizing my knowledge, skills, and enthusiasm to lead the legal team in helping city council accomplish its goals."

Betzing earned his juris doctor from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law, and was awarded three bachelor’s degrees from the University of Colorado at Boulder in Political Science, International Affairs and History.
