Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman.

Today marks the beginning of Sunshine Week, the annual reminder of the public's right to know what their government is doing. I'm celebrating by drawing your attention to my favorite page on the City website.
The Public Meetings page is the place to study meeting agendas, review meeting minutes, and watch recordings of meetings. If you want to move past hearsay about City business, this is the place to go.
We have video recordings of City Council going back to 2014. Planning Commission meetings go back to 2012. Most of the other boards began recording in 2015. This is a wonderful resource for people who are interested in Golden history, or those who want to track the evolution of our approaches to various issues. I watch old meetings frequently.
Kudos to City Council and City Staff for creating such a great public record.
