6:30PM City Council Regular Business Meeting @ City Hall
Tonight’s consent agenda includes the first reading of several ordinances. The public hearings and the vote will occur at future council meetings. They are: marijuana 6% excise tax (vote on July 12th); updated model traffic code (July 12th); updated fire code (July 26th); updated water & sewer development fees (July 12th); and updated building codes (July 26th). Consent agenda also includes authorization to apply for gaming grants and an amendment to the Golden Volunteer Firefighter pension plan.
They will read a proclamation for Independence Day, July 4th.
The first public hearing repeals and replaces our recreational marijuana licensing code. The City plans to permit up to four retail marijuana stores. The map above shows the locations where they might be allowed. I have added red dots to show locations of schools and green dots to show locations of parks. This is your last chance to submit public comment on the City’s plans. You can provide public comment in person, at the meeting, or send email to PublicComment@cityofgolden.net. You can also contact individual Councilors using contact information shown on this page.
The second public hearing authorizes conveyance of city property to an adjacent landowner.
They will then establish fees for the new marijuana stores.
They will discuss grant applications to the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) to request funding for the Heritage Road interchange and West Colfax, which the City hopes to turn into a “complete street” (bike lanes and sidewalks as well as vehicular lanes).
They will consider a 3% mid-year salary increase for all City employees.
The business meeting will be followed by a study session, in which they’ll discuss fire department staffing, the Heart of Golden project, and the 2023/2024 budget.
The study session will be followed by an executive session (no public, no cameras) to discuss hiring the new City Manager.

Golden History Moment
The Astor House currently holds several stacks of lumber, which will be used in the renovation. In my tour last week, I studied this collection of nailed-together boards (a sign? a trapdoor?):
Of particular interest was a set of notations on one of the boards, dated 1932-1935. Apparently, Mrs. Goetze, the owner at the time, was recording her coal purchases.
The years ’34 and ’35 included an extra bit of information. They’re a little hard to read, but I think she was indicating who supplied the coal. This is reinforced by ads that ran in the Transcript in 1934 and 1935, which name some of the local coal sellers.
So now we know that the Astor House purchased 14 tons of coal during the winter of 1934-1935–and where they bought it!
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
