Jeffco Regional Crime Lab IGA - The current Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) requires to crime lab return any unused funds at the end of the year to the County's general fund. In 2023, the lab $15,899 had remaining, so they turned it over to the County. This change would allow the lab to carryover funds for use in the following year. This will not affect Golden's contribution.
A change request in the amount of $35,400 is required to cover cost overruns on two drainage ponds.
The city is requesting fee increases for waste collection services.

Eliminating Dog Licenses (1st reading - to be voted on August 13th)
Since 2007, the cities of Golden, Arvada, Edgewater, Lakewood, Westminster, and Wheat Ridge, along with Jefferson County have had an IGA for a countywide dog licensing program. The proceeds were to be used to help pay the dept for Foothills Animal Shelter. The board has recommended that they eliminate licensing. Golden will budget their full contribution to the shelter ($48,600 in 2024) without trying to offset the cost with licensing fees.
