CityGoldenCouncil'sMONTHLYCALENDAR Welcoming
September 2022 | 3
W elcome to Golden! We have been proclaiming our welcome from downtown since 1949. The location spanning across Washington Avenue suggests a welcome to visitors, but we also welcome a lot of new residents every year. The numbers are in the thousands and include new Colorado School of Mines students each fall and individuals and families who move here throughout the year for employment or a desire to live in Golden.
– Our New City Manager, Scott Vargo! By
This month the city welcomes someone moving to Golden, our new city manager, Scott Vargo. Welcome Scott! Any new job and new employer require a lot of transition and time to learn the systems and organizational culture. The City Manager job is a unique position in that it also requires a move to a new city. I look forward to welcoming Scott to Golden and to working with him in his new role. Whether it is the city manager, a new neighbor, or a new college student moving to Golden, let’s recommit to making everyone feel welcome since it doesn’t matter if you have been here 6 days or 60 years, we are all a part of this great Golden community. a New Neighbor to Golden Mayor Weinberg

Five years ago, City Council discussed Golden’s value of being a “Welcoming and Inclusive Community” and a 2017 Proclamation reaffirm(ed) Golden’s commitment to building a welcoming, inclusive, and equitable community. In particular, it recognizes and commends our residents, students, business leaders, and civic groups for giving meaning and depth to the long-lasting motto, “WELCOME TOWhatGOLDEN.”does it mean to welcome people or be a welcoming city? I am sure each person has their own ideas and I have been fortunate to have had wonderful experiences of what it means to me. My husband, Mike, and I bought our first home in a historic neighborhood in Denver. As first-time homeowners, only living in Colorado for a couple of years, we didn’t have connections in the area or know anything about the neighborhood. Soon after we moved in, we met our neighbor from two houses over, Alma. Alma had lived in the neighborhood 60+ years in the same home. She knocked on our door with a gift to introduce herself and welcome us to the neighborhood. From that day forward we felt a part of the neighborhood and connected to our new community. When we moved to Golden some years later, we also were welcomed to the neighborhood by a neighbor two houses away with a knock on the door, an introduction, and a welcome gift. There are differences in those experiences since we moved to a neighborhood built only a decade earlier so being an old-timer in the neighborhood didn’t have the same history as Alma. However, the experience reinforced the idea that a welcoming community can happen in large cities and small, historic neighborhoods or new ones, because of the people who live there and the values they have.

The new light trial for Golden is here! The City of Golden’s Public Works Department is looking to you to help pick your favorite bulb as we level up our city streetlights to LED bulbs. We launched a pilot at the end of August that will last through the end of September with lights along 10th Street before it turns into 44th Avenue—the stretch of road near the Clear Creek Parking Lot. Golden has traditionally used high pressure sodium (HPS) streetlights, which tend to have an amber hue. LEDs can vary in color temperature, typically from warm white to cool/bluish white. LED bulbs offer many benefits—they save energy, they save money, and they help improve visibility. The City of Golden has carefully selected several LED streetlights for consideration in this study. The selected LEDs will mimic the warm glow of HPS lights more closely while retaining the visibility benefits of LED streetlights. If you’re travelling along 10th Street in August and September, keep an eye out for the new LED lights and take our survey online at Guiding Golden (www.guidinggolden.com/led-streetlights).

WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE SHOP? One of the best things about owning a curiosity shop is I never know what is going to happen next. It really depends on what subject has captured my own curiosity for the week. If I am googling blackholes, there’s a good chance I’ll be adding space-themed products to my store. If I’m reading about European history, keep your eyes out for Roman spears and Viking axes. But one thing is for sure, I am always looking for new interactive displays to keep my customers engaged.
SPOTLIGHT on a Golden Business
T his month in the City of Golden business spotlight we’re highlighting the Golden Curiosity Shop, which opened in July 2021. We spoke to founder Lucas Maas about his unique Golden business – if you’re interested, stop by to visit the Golden Curiosity Shop at 17742 S Golden Road. If you’re a local business owner who is interested in getting access to more information about local economic development or want to be featured in upcoming issues of the Golden Informer, please reach out to the City of Golden’s Economic Development
Every month, we’ll be highlighting a business here in the City of Golden.
Golden Curiosity Shop
September 2022 | 7
Manager Robin Fleischmann at rfleischmann@cityofgolden.net.
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE GOLDEN? I am 6th-generation Goldenite. My family moved to Golden in 1867, only 8 years after the town was founded. My family has a lot of history in this town, and the Golden Curiosity Shop is my way of adding my own little chapter to the history books.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS Have you ever wanted to hold a piece of the moon in your hands? Or see a real live glow-in-the-dark axolotl? Or watch your hair stand on end as over 400,000 volts of electricity course safely through your body? Well now is your chance! The Golden Curiosity Shop is guaranteed to capture your imagination with our interactive exhibits and an inventory full of exotic products from all over theTheworld.best way to describe The Golden Curiosity Shop is that it's a lot like a free Museum of Nature & Science, but with two important differences. One, you’re invited to touch all of the exhibits with your own hands. And two, you can buy exhibits and bring them home with you! Everything in the shop is ethically and sustainably sourced.
W ith the cooler temperatures and shorter days of fall right around the corner, it's a good time to plan ahead and prepare your grass for the winter. Fertilizing in the early fall promotes healthy root systems and more resilient landscapes.

This spring, as part of the City of Golden’s efforts to ensure safe, high quality drinking water, the City began the process of determining customer-owned service line materials. This is required by revisions to the Safe Drinking Water Act’s Lead and Copper Rule. The project began with the City’s water utility reaching out to residents with homes built before 1940 to start gathering information on their service line material. If you have received a survey by mail from the City of Golden, please complete and return it at your earliest convenience. If your home was built before 1940 and you take steps to identify your service line material, please contact Utilities Superintendent Les Major at lmajor@cityofgolden.net or by phone at 303-384-8170 with your service line information. Your assistance will help us develop a complete and accurate service line inventory, an important first step in eliminating lead service lines in our community. Learn at
Often, you can rent core aerators at home improvement stores to get the job done.
Fall is an important time to put a little energy and care into your lawn's health - and next summer, you should see the benefits.
Aeration improves your yard's ability to absorb water and nutrients. Before starting, make sure to mark your sprinkler heads so you avoid running over them and causing damage.
Fall Lawn Care
Lead Service Line Inventory Underway
8 | September 2022
The two most important things to do to your lawn in the fall while it's still green are 1) to aerate and 2) to provide it with some nutrients.
Adding nutrients to your lawn is another simple yet important task. While it’s advised to test your soil first, plant experts from Colorado State University generally recommend a fall application of fertilizer high in Nitrogen (e.g., 25-5-5) for cool-season grasses. Apply this type of fertilizer a few weeks before temperatures are supposed to reach freezing. The main caution is to not add too much, which can result in damaging your grass and polluting local watersheds. Follow directions on the package, and your yard should benefit. Nitrogen application can often be reduced by 1/4 to 1/3 when grass clippings are returned to the lawn during mowing. Nitrogen and other nutrients contained in the clippings are recycled into the lawn as they decompose. Grass clippings do not contribute to thatch accumulation in lawns. If you're wondering whether it might be simpler to just leave fallen leaves on your yard, be warned that too thick of a layer of leaves can be suffocating! However, a thin layer of leaves, particularly if they've been chopped up by a mower, can add nutrients back into your landscape and can be used to mulch around flower beds, shrubs, and trees.

Visit Guiding Golden (www.guidinggolden.com/bike-andpedestrian-master-plan) for project information, a public survey and an interactive GIS tool to share ideas for specific changes. City staff and community members have previously collaborated on multimodal issues through the 2003 Bicycle Master Plan and the 2008 Bicycle and Walkability Task Forces. Many of the project and policy recommendations from these documents have been implemented on streets and trails throughout the city. In 2020, the City adopted the Transportation Master Plan (TMP) to guide transportation policy, programs and capital investment. The community came together around a shared set of aspirational transportation values - Safe and Connected, Livable and Resilient and Prudent and Equitable. The TMP recognized the need for additional planning to achieve these values for walking and biking in Golden.

Situated within the ancestral territory of multiple tribes, the Clear Creek Valley is a place where multiple Indigenous ways of life were practiced. All of the components that make up this area— including viewsheds, night skies, soundscapes, trails, plants, animals, waterways, landforms, archaeological sites, and historical events—have value and significance to contemporary Native American people. Topography and habitats are some of the indicators of a homeland and cultural landscape to Indigenous people, as they provide physical and spiritual sustenance. The Golden area provides an access corridor between the Rocky Mountains and the Plains, and over 180 local plant species have documented Indigenous uses and names. These serve as a foundation for Native American connections to theTribalarea. oral traditions and cultural activities continue to reinforce the long-standing connections tribes have to the region. In the oral histories of the Núuchiu (Ute), the area now called the City of Golden is located within the origin places of the Moghwachi, Tabeguache, and Uncompahgre bands and has been significant since time immemorial.
The Golden community is invited to join the City of Golden’s Historic Preservation Board at a special meeting on Sept. 12 at 6 p.m. at the Golden History Museum to learn more about the ethnographic study. Community members are also invited to respond to a short, four-question survey to help guide our future work and help us prioritize what projects and initiatives the Museum should undertake next in this journey.
ative American history and connections to the Clear Creek Valley and table lands of the central Colorado Front Range extend back more than 12,000 years. Contemporary Native American communities still view this place as an aboriginal homeland. However, today’s typical narrative of the region largely excludes Indigenous people and their values. To address this disparity, the City of Golden formed a partnership between its divisions of Museums and Planning, with the additional support of the Historic Preservation Board, to engage Native American tribes and ethnographic researchers to help tell the story. The study involved cultural advisors from six Native Indian tribes and a review of relevant literature. Together, the oral historical and documentary records provide a robust narrative about Native American connections to Colorado’s Front Range and create a foundation for future collaborative research with tribal communities.
The oral histories and documentary record of the Tsétsėhéstȧhese or Tsistsistas (Cheyenne) and Hinono’ei (Arapaho) reveal a history that began in the eighteenth century in the Front Range of Colorado. Painful tribal histories, including the forced removal of the Utes from a large portion of their ancestral lands, and the removal of the Cheyenne and Arapaho from Colorado following the Massacre at Sand Creek, are historically linked to the development of the City of Golden and are therefore essential components of Native American interpretation of the area. The City of Golden today recognizes that these oral traditions are an integral part of cultural identity and cannot be trivialized.
The brand-new publication Indigenous Connections: Native American Ethnographic Study of Golden, Colorado and the Clear Creek Valley is an educational resource that can be downloaded free from the Museum’s online collection website. This report is the very first step in cultivating strong relationships with local Indigenous communities. We hope that this educational resource will be used widely and that other communities and cultural institutions will embrace and build upon this work for the greater understanding of the Indigenous presence in our region. Together we can share resources, ideas, and networks to work collectively to lift Indigenous voices in our communities.
We’ve got a spooky night planned, with guaranteed supernatural phenomena.
