The Parks, Recreation & Museums Advisory Board meets tonight at 7PM at the Golden Community Center. They will review their 2019 work plan and discuss project updates.
Tomorrow night at 6:30 in City Council Chamber, the Planning Commission will hold a study session. They will be discussing the ongoing conundrum of translating city visions and plans into the city code. There has been a great deal of discussion lately about the disconnect between what the community wants and what the Commission is able to approve or disapprove. Councilor Casey Brown will also attend the meeting with the goal of helping Commissioners conduct more effective, productive, and un-heated meetings.
