MAYOR’S MESSAGE

By Mayor

Marjorie Sloan

B

Spring Cleaning Time

y now, we’re adjusted to Daylight Saving Time. The Spring Equinox has come and gone. Spring break for Jefferson County Schools and Colorado School of Mines is just a memory. Despite these earlier indications of warm weather, Goldenites know to wait until May before declaring that spring is here.

It’s May, and Golden spring has finally arrived! The mountainsides are turning emerald green, the sap is rising and trees are growing new leaves, wildflowers are blooming, lawns are getting greener by the day, and our private and public gardens are coming alive. The people of Golden are also stirring under the influence of spring. The longer, brighter days can inspire us to usher in the new season with an old-fashioned spring cleaning.

The revealing sunlight shows us the cobwebs, dust, smudges, and clutter hidden by the darkness of winter. So we get to work and clean the interior of our homes, polish the windows, undertake lawn and garden maintenance, and purge unneeded objects.

We’re focused on making our immediate surroundings feel clean and fresh.

But why stop with the satisfaction that comes from sprucing up our own property? Spring is also a good time for a block cleanup, an effort that will improve the appearance of the neighborhood and, at the same time, strengthen bonds between neighbors.

A search party may pick up stray trash and recyclables scattered by our winter winds. Another group may offer to assist neighbors who can’t do all their own work. To end the day, the entire neighborhood may gather with a celebratory toast to spring.

Mines students have already set an example by getting an early start on community spring cleaning. Through their Helluva Service Event, they devoted an April Saturday to help out Golden individuals, businesses, and civic organizations. They scrubbed, organized, inventoried, raked, painted, weeded, and hauled at project sites all around town. We’re grateful for their assistance in sprucing up Golden.

The City of Golden is also standing by to assist home and neighborhood clean-up efforts. As explained on p. 6 of this Informer, residents with City trash service can place quantities of yard waste at the curb on their regular pick up day during the week of May 13-17. And Golden Community Pride Days are scheduled for May 18-19. During this weekend, hardworking and cheerful City staff help unload residents’ unwanted items and properly dispose of them.

Everyone can help out a seasonal Golden clean-up in another way. We have responsive City staff, but none can be continually familiar with the condition of every space and byway. For instance, there are over 241 maintained lane miles in Golden. Residents going about their daily affairs are in the best position to note potholes and other maintenance problems with our streets.

Non-emergency, yet, important issues can be reported through the YourGov website (https://yourgov.cartegraph.com/) or cellphone app. This platform brings submitted issues directly into the City's Work Management solution where they are forwarded on to the responsible department. Alternatively, residents can make a quick phone call to the City at 303-384-8151 to report the need for service in a particular location.

Any way you look at it, spring is a season of new growth, new hope, and a fresh start. So it is the opportune time to rejuvenate your property, neighborhood and town. And please let me know if you have a neighborhood cleanup planned. I’ll stop by with trash bags, beverages, and a helping hand.

Utility Rate Citizen Committee At Work

s the City conducts a utility rate study, a group of devoted citizens is hard at work analyzing the data from the study. Since its first meeting in February, Golden’s Utility Rate Citizen Committee (URCC) received a comprehensive background and history on all things water and learned about the water collection and distribution system and how rates are developed. The seven-member committee took a deep dive into different rate structures to help them understand how water rates are designed and what goes into completing a rate study, including: • Financial Plan that shows how much funding our utilities need and when we’ll need it; • C ost of Service (COS) Analysis that reviews the cost to provide water service to various customer groups (residential, multifamily, commercial, etc.) to ensure the revenue we receive from these customers aligns with the costs to provide service to them; and

Resident-Led Board Tackles Mobility & Transportation

M

obility and transportation are two topics that affect everyone in our city; residents and tourists, homeowners and renters, long-time Goldenites and new residents. In order to stay atop issues, opportunities and discussions around these topics, the City of Golden created the Mobility and Transportation Advisory Board (MTAB), designed to advise and present options to City Council. First formed in January 2018, the seven-person board consists of Golden residents who represent all parts of the City.

In addition to getting up to speed on current projects and issues, the board spent the first year learning about what kinds of requests the City receives for crosswalks, traffic calming, and sidewalk

changes. They also learned how our Public Works Department handles those requests and what kind of planning and engineering goes into each project.

MTAB then took on its first big project – to advise the City on the development of a crosswalk manual for Golden, intended to set guidelines for when a crosswalk is warranted. They read studies, compared policies in other cities, and then came up with ideas for determining criteria.

The manual is nearly complete and will soon be publicly available as a resource for residents and the City.

MTAB meetings are open to the public, and members welcome you to come voice your concerns or ideas related to mobility and transportation. Most recently, several residents came to the

meeting to discuss how a new potential development in the old Briarwood Inn location may impact the traffic on 8th Street. After careful consideration, MTAB ultimately recommended to City Council that the street in question did indeed warrant prioritized funding for upgrades.

This board exists to help the residents of Golden by communicating their needs to City staff and City Council. Projects on their agenda for 2019 include school zones, school walking maps, and traffic calming. If you would like to sit in on a meeting and give your feedback, MTAB meets on the fourth Tuesday of every month at 6 p.m. in City Council Chambers, 911 10th St. For details on MTAB, visit www.cityofgolden.net/MTAB.

Pets are Part of Positive Mental Health

W

hat is mental health? It encompasses our emotional and psychological wellbeing, affecting how we feel, think, and interact with others. There is a fundamental connection between our minds and our bodies. If our mental wellbeing is impaired, our physical health can be adversely affected, and vice versa.

There are things you can do that may help. Finding a reason to laugh, going for a walk with a friend, meditating, playing with a pet, or working from home once a week can go a long way in making you both physically and mentally healthy. The company of animals – whether as pets or service animals – can have a profound impact on a person’s quality of life and ability to recover from illnesses. A pet can be a source of comfort and can help us to live mentally healthier lives. And whether you go to church, meditate daily, or simply find time to enjoy that cup of tea each morning while checking in with yourself – it can be important to connect with your spiritual side in order to find that mind-body connection.

May is designated as Mental Health Awareness Month. The City of Golden wants everyone to know that mental illnesses are real, and recovery is always the goal. Living a healthy to explore the ways to nurture your mind. Your mental health lifestyle may not be easy but can be achieved by gradually is vital for a great quality of life.

For more information, visit www.mentalhealthamerica.net/may making small changes and building on those successes. Please use this time to talk with your doctor, or contact a counselor, and follow along on social media #4Mind4Body.

May is Building Safety Month, why does this matter?

F

or the past 38 years, the International Code Council (ICC) has celebrated advances in constructing safe, sustainable, affordable and resilient buildings and homes. It raises awareness about critical safety issues from structural to fire prevention, plumbing and mechanical systems, and energy efficiency.

Building codes and the officials who administer them are making our families and communities safer and more resilient. Homes and buildings which are built in compliance with building safety codes result in resilient structures that minimize the risks of death, injury and property damage. Building safety affects everyone, and modern, updated building codes save lives.

This is why we have a building permitting process. The City of Golden and the Building Safety and Inspection Services Division wants you to apply for

8 | May 2019

a permit to ensure that you meet certain criteria and safety concerns in relation to: • Zoning requirements • E nvironmental (waste, water systems, and run off) • B uilding, Electrical, Plumbing, Mechanical, and Fire Codes The City provides a list of projects that would require a permit. The general process begins with the application, a plan review if needed, payment of fees, issuing of the permit, the inspection process, and the close of the permit if all code requirements have been inspected

and met. Permits are required for most home projects even if the owner is performing the work. Once you get a permit, an inspector will check the work.

Inspections provide a measure of safety to protect your life and property. The permit stays on record and attached to the property. Overall, it is important to remember this process is to benefit and safe guard the building owner and neighbors. Please remember, we are here to help!

If you need additional information concerning your building project, please visit our website at www.cityofgolden. net/building. The website contains information on projects that require a permit, permit fees, policies, building guides and contractor registrations.

You may also call the Building Division at 303-384-8151.

The Marv Kay Way

H

undreds of people gathered in the upper gym of the Mines Student Recreation Center on April 11 to honor Golden legend Marv Kay. Already a member of the Mines Hall of Fame, Marv was recently inducted in the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame for a lifetime as a student athlete, coach, administrator, professor and fundraiser at the Colorado School of Mines. “But more important than Marv’s wins and losses record (which is incredible, by the way), Marv’s legacy has and will continue to be the dedication he has to this university, whatever role he’s in at the time,” said Mines President Paul Johnson.

April 11 is now Marv Kay Day at Mines, in the City of Golden, and in the state of Colorado. Golden Mayor Marjorie Sloan presented Marv with a proclamation commemorating the day. To honor him, she used a quote from Teddy Roosevelt, which Marv often uses himself, "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care."

In traditional Marv fashion, he joked about his 60 years of service. “As I look back… on those 60 years… the struggles we all have as students… I always wondered if that 60 years on campus was going to be the amount of time it took me to get my degree.”

Mayor Marjorie Sloan, along with City Councilors Jim Dale, Rob Reed, Laura Weinberg and Paul Haseman, presented the honoree with a proclamation for Marv Kay Day.

Marv went on to talk about the support he received. “You work together for a long time, you work together with your family, build so much on family strengths,” said Marv. “In my case, each of my family has been heavily involved in everything I did and so I share this award with them.”

A large group of students sang the fight song to Marv during the celebration, to which he responded, “I always go back to the last verse of the school song, which goes something like, ‘Wherever in this pay dirt world Orediggers

choose to roam, that M up on the mountain will always stand for home.’”

Then he pounded his fist on the podium and said, “Give ‘em hell, Diggers!”

In addition to Marv Kay Day, Mines also re-named Maple Plaza, which is the main pedestrian walkway in the heart of the campus, to Marv Kay Way. A lasting reminder of a man whose dedication can be seen and felt throughout Golden.

Generosity, commitment, and leadership truly are the Marv Kay way.

WILDFIRE COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS DAY Wildfires across the United States took more than 100 lives and cost more than $25 billion dollars in property losses in just the last two years. You can help promote wildfire safety by encouraging your fellow residents to work together on a project or event on May 4. Participation helps create a sense of community, where neighbors begin to look out for each other. Wildfire Community Preparedness Day projects can also help strengthen relationships between residents and the Golden Fire Department, land management agencies, community leaders, and elected officials.

Need help coming up with a project? Contact the Golden Fire Department at 303-384-8094. Follow Golden Fire-Rescue on Facebook or Twitter @GoldenCOFire to see what projects take place!

STAMP OUT HUNGER FOOD DRIVE

T

he Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive is on Saturday, May 11. About a week prior to the food drive, blue bags will be delivered to most Golden neighborhoods; residents can put their non-perishable food donations in the bags and leave them out by their mailboxes the morning of May 11. Between 3 and 7 p.m., bags will be collected by the Postal Carriers, sorted by Lions Club volunteers, and brought to Golden’s local food bank, Christian Action Guild (CAG). If a neighborhood does not receive the blue bags, residents can still put their donated food in any type of bag by their mailboxes for collection. All donated food will then be given to families in need in Golden. Last year, CAG received close to 25,000 pounds of donated food.

Smart Landscaping this Season

B

ulk landscape materials can pose threats to traffic safety and water quality if stored in the street. Piles of soil, compost, rock, or mulch can impede traffic. These materials can also be washed into the storm drain, transporting pollutants to Clear Creek.

A FEW THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND: • Time deliveries so materials can be placed the same day they're delivered.

• If materials must be stored, place them on the driveway or lawn - not in the street.

• Cover materials in case it rains.

• Sweep up at the end of the day, prior to a rainstorm and once the material is used.

If materials have to be stored in the street, a Right of Way Permit must be obtained from the City, the steps above should be implemented and delineators (i.e. cones, flashers) should be placed.

The permit application can be found at www.cityofgolden.net/Media/RightofWay Permit.pdf.

WHO SAYS OLD BUILDINGS CAN’T BE ENERGY EFFICIENT? The Golden History Museum, in partnership with the Community Sustainability Advisory Board, installed new mini-splits in two cabins at the Golden History Park. The Museum staff worked hard to find an efficient way to heat and cool the 1800’s buildings. Mini-splits are heating and cooling systems that allow you to control the temperatures in individual rooms or spaces.

Mini-splits provide a high-efficiency alternative to conventional window-type or wall-type HVAC equipment. In addition to offering energy efficiency, ductless mini-splits can be installed with minimal modifications to indoor spaces. They can be especially useful in sturdy constructions such as pre-war apartment buildings, where the installation of ducted HVAC systems is especially challenging.

A Special Thank You to Golden Rescuers

s their daughter recovered in a hospital room, Danielle and Roger Tso made a special trip to meet the Golden Firefighters and AMR Paramedics who helped to rescue their daughter on April 5th. Taylor Tso was hiking with a friend when she fell nearly 40 feet off a cliff in Clear Creek Canyon. Suffering from broken bones and a head wound, rescue crews spent more than seven hours working to bring her off the mountain safely. They were assisted by West Metro Fire, AMR Ambulance, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department, Jeffco Open Space, and CDOT. Roger and Danielle’s visit to the Golden Fire Department meant the world to those involved in the rescue. Tears spilled as the parents showed firefighters a video from their daughter, thanking them and promising to come to visit once she was recovered.

“So often the people I come into contact with while volunteering with Golden Fire, leave the scene and are never heard from again,” said Golden Fire Captain Ben Moline. “It is extremely rewarding to hear from the patient or family as to how they are doing and see the impact that department has had on their lives moving forward. Being able to share what occurred on scene with Taylor's parents was both informative and healing.”

Students Honored by Golden Police

wo Bell Middle School students were surprised to get a visit from a large group of Golden Police Officers, who came into their classroom to honor them for a job well done.

Earlier this year, students Lillian and Annika were coming home from school when they saw a car with two men sitting in it. They thought the situation was strange and that the men were possibly following them. The girls made it home safely and immediately called 911. Lillian provided dispatchers with vital information that helped Golden Police to identify the car and contact the two men inside. Turns out, the car was stolen, the driver was under the influence of alcohol and drugs, and both men were in possession of illegal drugs, drug paraphernalia, and stolen credit cards.

Mayor Marjorie Sloan, Lillian and Annika pose for a photo surrounded by members of the Golden Police Department.

Lillian and Annika followed their instincts; they were responsible and courageous. Their actions led to the arrest of two very dangerous criminals and the return of a stolen car and credit cards back to their owners.

For providing assistance to the

Golden Police Department, Annika was awarded a Citizen Commendation. For performing an act that significantly contributed to the accomplishment of the Golden Police Department’s mission, Lillian recieved the Distinguished Citizen Medal. Congratulations, ladies!

WHY TRAVEL MATTERS IN GOLDEN

W

e pass popular tourist sites like the Coors Brewery every day, and we may not even think of how it supports our community. The Coors Brewery and other attractions such as the Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave, the Colorado Railroad Museum, Foothills Art Center, Golden History Museum, and our many great places to eat and stay are the backbone of Golden. These places define our community, provide our families with jobs, and have given us—and over 1,066,280 visitors in 2018 alone—a lifetime of memories.

As a leader in workforce development and career advancement, travel creates and supports 15.6 million jobs across the U.S., making it the seventhlargest private sector employer. In 2017, traveler spending generated $165 billion in total tax revenue, including $76 billion in state and local revenue.

16 | May 2019

That $76 billion can pay for a host of critical resources such as state and local police and firefighters, or the more than one million public high school teachers.

Travel is powerful for cities and states, and Golden is no exception. It supports about 6,000 jobs in Jefferson County. In 2017, travelers spent more than $620 million in Jefferson County and local tax revenue related to travel was more than $21 million. In Colorado, visitor spending was over $18 billion and state tax revenue related to travel was close to $2.7 billion.

Think about how travel matters to our locally-owned restaurants and shops, as well as our boutique hotels - travel-dependent leisure and hospitality is the largest small business employer in the U.S. Those are only a few reasons why it’s so important to keep welcoming visitors to Golden—and why our industry is elevating the message of “Travel Matters” during National Travel and Tourism Week (NTTW) May 5-11. We encourage you to join us in observing NTTW this year. Get social and engage with the #nttw19 hashtag on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Share how travel in Golden matters to you.

Honoring Living Landmarks

T

he Golden Landmarks Association (GLA) proudly announces the 2019 Living Landmark honorees. On May 3, this year’s recipients will be recognized for their long history and commitment to Golden, as well as their positive impact on the City.

DAVE POWERS A resident of Golden since 1988, Dave brings his expertise in educational and non-profit fundraising and leadership to our community. In Golden alone, Dave has helped the Colorado School of Mines, Foothills Art Center, Golden Visitors Center, Golden Civic Foundation, and the Clear Creek History Park. Additionally, he has a passion for western history, photography, and music.

KATHY AND KEVIN O’CONNOR These long-time residents have volunteered thousands of hours with many of Golden’s cultural and service organizations including the Jefferson Symphony Orchestra, where they both served on the board.

Additionally, they’ve helped with Family Tree, Golden History Museums’ Astor House, Clear Creek History Park, Golden Lions Club, and Golden High School.

GOLDEN LIONS CLUB For over 75 years, the Golden Lions Club has served Golden and the surrounding communities. They provide annual scholarships for students at Golden High School, and support many programs including the Golden Backpack Program, “Kidsight” eye testing program, and “Recycle for Sight” eyeglass program, to name a few. Their biggest event is the annual 4th of July community celebration in Lions Park.

Doing Their Civic Duty

T

he Golden Civic Foundation (GCF) recently granted more than $190,000 in funds to Golden nonprofits, schools, community grants, and community reinvestment projects. Since 1970, GCF has invested more than $6.1 million for the betterment of the Golden community.

“The Golden Civic Foundation is proud to have a long and impactful history of supporting our local Golden nonprofits and schools and serving as a catalyst for many important community projects,” said GCF President Brian Quarnstrom.

“We see our role of investing in Golden’s economic and cultural vitality as essential to achieving a lasting and positive impact for Golden residents.”

This year, 37 local nonprofits, including cultural, social service, clubs, schools and civic organizations, received more than $75,000 of the funds. GCF, in partnership with MillerCoors, provided the Golden Visitors Center with a special grant to renovate its Heritage

Community Meeting Center. The meeting center is a community resource used by over 35 organizations, and the rental revenue assists in funding the Golden Visitors Center operational costs.

GCF’s biggest fundraiser of the year is a gala that has many silent and live auction items donated by the community.

This year’s live auction portion of the event, along with a matching gift of

$20,000 from Kelley Trucking, allowed GCF to donate $76,600 to support the Golden High School community track project that is expected to start construction in the spring of 2019.

History Camp Goes ‘Old School’ This Summer

Ignite

Explore

Share

istorian Howard Chudacoff once said that throughout American history “kids were just being kids, seeking freedom and autonomy by testing adults and by exercising their own forms of amusement.” Yet the way in which children enrich their lives through play has changed dramatically over the years.

Before the days of iPads and televisions, American children spent their free time in myriad ways. This summer, kids in Golden will have the opportunity to try their hand at some of these historic activities in the brand new Hands-on History Camp, “Pastimes in Times Past.”

Grounded in American history, campers will have the opportunity to step into the past and experience what it would be like to play as a child of the West. Campers will play as pioneer children might have, using natural materials like a round of pick-up sticks made out of dried pieces of wheat or perhaps crafting dolls made out of corn husks or apples. They will also play dominoes and learn about the challenging and oncepopular tiddlywinks.

For children in Golden, the outdoors have always provided a picturesque backdrop to a variety of games, and in the Golden History Park, campers will recreate those experiences while trying egg and spoon races and baseball. For those kids who feel more at home in their imaginations, campers will try out painting, storytelling, and theatrical games. Even some chores like sewing and weaving will become fun and creative ways to pass the time. Golden History Museum & Park is excited to bring these pastimes back to life for kids ages 6-8. Sign up today at GoldenHistory.org/HOH.

“Run and Fly” Installation Set for May

G

olden’s next highly anticipated art piece will soon mesmerize visitors coming into Golden. The new installation will appear to change shapes as viewers pass by.

Artist Joe Norman's work "Run and Fly" is a set of three eight-foot sculptures that appear to change from silhouettes of three running children to a red-tail hawk in flight, depending on the perspective of the viewer. Travelers heading northbound will see three red-tailed hawks, while those going southbound will see a group of children running together. Norman said he is "inspired by the idea that both humans and nature can exist harmoniously and are not mutually exclusive.”

The piece will serve as an entryway into the City from the north, providing a sense of arrival to Golden. Installation is planned for mid-May on the west side of Hwy 93, approximately 1,600 feet north of Pine Ridge Road. "Run and Fly" was selected by the Golden Public Art Commission after a public vote by Golden residents.

To celebrate the installation, an artist meet and greet with Joe Norman will be held during ArtsWeek Golden, scheduled for July 8-14. Stay tuned to upcoming editions of The Informer for event details. For more project updates, photos and videos, visit www.cityofgolden.net/PAC.

Prototypes for the "Run and Fly".

ABOUT THE ARTIST Joe graduated with a degree in Product Design from Stanford and worked with design consulting firms for a number of years before teaching middle school and customizing vintage motorcycles. For the past eight years, he has been a fulltime sculptor, focusing on handmade and site-specific works informed by the intersection of the natural and humanmade environment.

Joe Norman poses with "Run and Fly" sculpture pieces during the fabrication process.

Joe was the Artist-In-Residence at Great Basin National Park and frequently speaks on art and its role in social justice. His work is in permanent public and private collections across the United States and is represented by galleries in Colorado, Utah, and California. He currently maintains his studio at Artworks Loveland just north of Denver.
