Ditch as long-term alternate route for Peaks to Plains Trail

City plans to improve downtown’s south creek trail in interim

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For years, local governments and other public entities have been building the Peaks to Plains Trail, a path for pedestrians and cyclists from the Continental Divide to the Platte River.

Now, not only is the name changing, but the route through Golden may change too. According to Matt Wempe, principal planner for the City of Golden, the 65-mile trail is being rebranded as the Clear Creek Trail. Signage will be changed in the coming months, he said.

(Editor’s note: For clarity, this article will continue to call it the Peaks to Plains Trail to di erentiate it from the City of Golden’s trail along both sides of Clear Creek between Parfet Park and U.S. Highway 6, which is also

City hosts walking tour for Heart of Golden project

City o cials invited residents to visualize Golden’s Clear Creek corridor through the Heart of Golden lenses.

In the coming years, the empty lot at 311 10th St. will become a bustling municipal center, housing most of the city’s employees. en, the current City Hall will be torn down and converted into some type of open space. e corridor between Parfet Park and the new municipal center will have new paths, and likely more park space and other features.

On Sept. 18, Golden o cials hosted the “Heart of Golden: Moving Forward” walking tour along the Clear Creek corridor, asking for community members’ feedback at ve stations between 10th and Illinois and 311 10th St.

At each station, the 100 or so attendees voted via stickers whether they agreed or disagreed with statements about each location’s future, and left additional comments.

For instance, attendees had mixed opinions regarding whether the city should transform Parfet Park “into the

new town square with event space … and maybe an outdoor performance venue.”

e tour concluded at 311 10th St., where Golden’s architects and consultants asked for impressions about Golden’s architectural character and what design elements the architects should incorporate when designing the new municipal center.

Kristi Bowen, a north Golden resident, appreciated the hands-on approach, saying, “It made me feel like part of the e orts to improve Golden.”

Overall, she said the city is “a unique and wonderful place to live,” and that Goldenites must preserve and enhance that treasure.

If Golden follows its projected timeline, designs should be ready for public feedback this fall or early winter. Construction is slated for next summer and, if completed on time, the City of Golden would move operations into the new municipal center in late 2026 or early 2027.

Preliminary cost estimates for design and construction are currently $59 million in 2025 dollars. e city has proposed a phased debt issuance of up to $65 million to nance the project by issuing Certi cates of Participation.

While the City Council hasn’t made a nal decision yet, some Goldenites have opposed the city’s nancing mechanism and/or the project itself.

‘Part

of the decision-making process’

Many of the Sept. 18 walking tour attendees said they heard about the event via a postcard the city sent to every address in city limits.

Bowen said the postcard was the rst time she’d heard of the Heart of Golden project. One of her takeaways was that there are “a lot of decisions to be made” regarding the project.

One idea she shared was to build a tness center and/or pickleball courts where the current City Hall is.

Jane Kaya, who lives near South Table Mountain, thought many of the walking tour’s questions were repetitive and bland. Several of them asked about open space, with Kaya explaining that she wanted to see more areas like Parfet Park along the creek.

Even so, she said it was an exciting project and a good walking tour, saying she could visualize where the municipal center and other features would be. She added that she supported another resident’s idea that, once the municipal center is nished, RTD should extend the light rail’s G Line there.

Alex St. Angelo, a northern Golden resident, said he liked the plan to extend the north creek trail underneath Ford Street.

Overall, St. Angelo felt the project was still in its early stages and he wanted to learn more about it. He and Kaya both said they’d expected a guided walking

tour, with Golden o cials explaining more at each station.

City sta members were present at each stop to explain the project’s vision and various proposals related to the City of Golden, but St. Angelo said he wanted to see more of the designs and hear more about the proposed buildings. He was eager to see what the city’s architects presented later in the year.

For Daniel and Laurie Carneiro, who moved from New York to south Golden in January, the postcard was also the rst time they heard about the project. Like Bowen, they appreciated how they and their fellow Goldenites “were part of the decision-making process” via the walking tour.

With so much construction across the Denver area, the two supported Golden preserving open space along the Clear Creek corridor.

For the municipal center, the Carneiros supported something with modern amenities and resources that employees could use to the fullest, with an exterior that was in line with Golden’s historic character.

In general, they described Golden as a community “where everyone seems friendly and welcoming,” and they hoped it stayed that way long-term.

The City of Golden hosts a Heart of Golden information station Sept. 18 at Parfet Park. The city hosted a walking tour with five stations along the Clear Creek corridor to gather Goldenites’ feedback about their priorities and vision for the Heart of Golden project.

The City of Golden hosts a Heart of Golden information station Sept. 18 at 311 10th St., the site of the proposed municipal center. The Heart of Golden project would include moving many city services into the new municipal center and then turning the current City Hall into open space.

Visiting Other Countries This Year Gave Me New Insight on What’s Possible in Society

Tuesday evening Rita and I returned from completing our world tour. It took us from Los Angeles to Hawaii, French Polynesia, New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, South Africa, Senegal, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, France, England, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Greenland, and Canada. From Montreal, we drove through northern New England at peak foliage, before flying home from Boston on Tuesday. In addition to daily lectures by distinguished diplomats and professors, we went on shore excursions in each port, learning how life differs from country to country.

Crime rates, especially gun violence, is so much lower everywhere we visited, because gun ownership is so rare compared to America, where there are more guns than people.

Don’t Miss Saturday’s Green Homes Tour!

In Copenhagen, over 50 percent of workers commute by bicycle, helped by winters which are milder than in Denver. Montreal, however, is recognized as the most bicycle-friendly city in the world, with more separated bike lanes than Amsterdam.

Being a Realtor, I naturally was interested in how people were housed, and, being committed as I am to sustainable living and saving the planet from the ravages of climate change, I paid attention to how sustainable their energy grid is, and how water and waste are handled. As a longtime owner of EVs, I also noted whether the places we visited were more or less on board with the shift to EVs than here at home.

Altogether, Rita and I were away for over five months, with a 3½-month break back in Colorado this summer. I posted my observations every day at http://wherearejimandrita.substack.com. We were most impressed with the Scandinavian countries — Sweden, Denmark and Norway. As I reported on my blog, every bus and truck in those countries is equipped with an breathalyzer interlock device. The vehicle will not start without the driver proving through that device that he has zero alcohol in his bloodstream. That’s right, not below a legal limit but zero. Passenger cars don’t have such a device, but the penalties for driving with even a low alcohol level are severe. The result is a huge decline in alcohol-related accidents and deaths over the past decades.

Here in America we have photo radar units which generate speeding and red light tickets for drivers, but the tickets do not result in points against your license. In Sweden the secondary roads have photo radar units every few miles, and if you are captured on camera going more than 15 kilometers per hour over the speed limit, your driver’s license can be suspended. (Fortunately, even the rural highways have bus service.) On my blog you’ll find a video showing one of these roadside radar units. Here’s a screenshot from it:

As far as we could tell, homelessness was not a significant problem anywhere we visited, unlike in America. In Sweden and Norway, most middle-class people live in the city but have a summer cottage, so statistically there is more than one home per family overall.

Single-family homes are much rarer in these other countries. Most people either rent or own an apartment in a multi-family structure. In Montreal we were shown the six-family homes constructed following World War II to house returning soldiers. In America, the post-war pattern was set by Levittown: subdivisions of one-story homes, typically with a garage, made possible, of course, by all the empty land here.

Levittown is also famous for not selling to black soldiers, which brings up another observation. In one of the lectures we attended about why Scandinavians regularly ranked as the happiest people in the world, it was pointed out that those countries have no history of serfdom or indentured servants, as one of the reasons. There’s less ingrained fear among populations.

Regarding EVs, there was a vast disparity in the adoption rate of electric vehicles from country to country. In Norway, effective Jan. 1 of this year, every taxicab had to be an EV, and in Bergen all city buses and most tourist buses are electric. In Montreal, the EV adoption rate is similar to here, but the trucks and buses are all diesel and the street noise level is unpleasantly high.

I encourage you to check out my blog for other insights.

Now is the best time to create a more sustainable home. The benefits are huge, and the savings are tempting. But how do you start? The easy first step is to experience the annual Metro Denver Green Homes Tour, of which Golden Real Estate is a co-sponsor.

Join the self guided tour from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, October 5th for just $15 per adult or $25 per couple. Follow the maps in the guide book to see some fantastic homes, all at your own pace. Explore creative older home retrofits and exciting new homes. See how your neighbors are enjoying beautiful, comfortable and healthy homes that benefit their communities and take on the changing climate, all while saving significant money over time.

Get some great ideas for your home. The tour features post-Marshall-fire homes rebuilt with unique sustainable and energy efficient designs; a Washington Park 1920s Craftsman-style green remodel; a 1950s home with a ground-source heat pump, solar power, and xeriscaping; the latest energyefficient all-electric townhomes; an updated 1979 solar home; and more.

Learn about current government and utility incentives. Learn how to harness free energy with dependable solar power and battery systems that shield you from brownouts and blackouts while dodging expensive utility timeof-use rates. Discover the latest heat pump technology; passive solar strategies; induction cooking; effective insulation; electric lawncare equipment; accessory dwelling units; and state-of-the-art construction materials.

After the tour, plan to attend the free Reception & Green Expo: 4:30 to 6:30pm at Jefferson Unitarian Church (JUC), 14350 W. 32nd Ave., Golden. Enjoy free appetizers, local beverages and live music. See renewable energy & sustainable living exhibits, a mobile container home unit, and electric bikes. From 3 to 5pm check out the electric cars in our annual EV roundup. Bring your questions.

TRAIL

called the Clear Creek trail and is also discussed in this article.)

While segments farther west are still under construction, Golden has been evaluating its section of the Peaks to Plains Trail along Clear Creek and looking for an alternate route. City o cials have explained how Golden’s Clear Creek corridor sees an immense amount of foot and bicycle tra c, particularly in the summer.

Now, city o cials have identied the Church Ditch, just south of Highway 58, as a long-term secondary route.

e goal would be to alleviate congestion and reduce user con icts while maintaining a high-quality trail for both residents and visitors to enjoy, Golden o cials have said. In the interim, Wempe said the city’s planning to update the south creek trail through downtown Golden. It would be widened in some areas, just as the city did with the north trail before the 2024 tubing season.

Wempe told the councilors Sept. 10 that city sta would complete conceptual designs for the widened south creek trail before January. Depending on the nal scope of work,

Community members at the Sept. 17 meeting provided feedback on both the short- and long-term options. Regarding improvements on the south trail, some opposed the idea of dismount zones. Because some people ride to recover from injury, dismount zones would be challenging, they said, adding how it penalizes cyclists and goes against the city’s commitment to equity and inclusion.

Other comments included suggestions for more bike parking options at the Golden Community Center and to discourage bikes on the north creek trail.

Another community meeting on the secondary Peaks to Plains Trail route is scheduled for 5:30-7 p.m. Dec. 11 at the community center. It will provide a concept design and

GAC hosted postcarding parties before the primary elections this summer, sending out more than 200 postcards to voters in Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia.

On Sept. 24, about 10 GAC members and other Goldenites worked to send another 100 postcards to Georgia voters ahead of the Nov. 5 election.

Michele Minihane, co-organizer for the Sept. 24 event, also encouraged voters in Golden and beyond to participate in the election process.

“Get to know the candidates and the issues,” she said of local, state and national races. “And get out and vote.”

The long-term option

At the Sept. 10 work session, Wempe outlined several challenges with the Church Ditch route, including that part of the proposed route runs through private property. Wempe commented how the Church Ditch is “literally in people’s backyards.”

It’s also very steep in some areas, and would require trail crossings at Ford Street and Washington Avenue. Its construction also needs to be coordinated with a future sound wall south of Highway 58, Wempe described.

For more information: support@NewEnergyColorado. com

Additionally, some community members have commented how the Church Ditch route has minimal shade and too much highway noise, which would make for a poor user experience.

Despite all these challenges, many Goldenites preferred the Church Ditch over Eighth Street or 10th Street as alternate routes, based on feedback at a July 29 community meeting. ere is at least one upside, which is that part of the route already has a bike path – from the creek trail near U.S. Highway 6 around the Eddy Hotel and up toward the multimodal bridge over Highway 58, Wempe explained.

budget request for full design in 2027 and construction 2028-29. However, he clari ed that this is a proposed timeline, and that the city needs to secure grant funding before starting construction.

Mayor Laura Weinberg said the Church Ditch “seems like a very challenging stretch to build anything,” between private property owners, steep grades and limited access.

“I’m willing to consider it as an option until we see a price tag,” she said. Weinberg added that she supported improving the city’s south creek trail, saying it would have long-term benets for Peaks to Plains Trail users and locals.

Je co nonprofits receive

$5.7 million in grants for housing, education and more

Colorado Gives Foundation provides extra $1.7 million after higher-than-expected requests

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Almost 200 Je erson County nonprofits are starting autumn with a little more money in the bank.

Arvada’s Colorado Gives Foundation — formerly called the Community First Foundation — has awarded $5.7 million to nonpro ts across Je co, helping with food security, housing, workforce development and other causes.

According to a recent CGF press release, the organization initially planned to award $4 million, but grant requests totaled more than $8 million. So, the organization “found a way to do more and provide an additional $1.7 million in funding,” it stated.

CGF o cials added how they hope the grants would “support e orts that enhance quality of life for everyone in Je erson County.”

e $5.7 million was awarded across six focus areas:

• $2.5 million for health;

• $1.1 million for food security;

• $838,000 for housing;

• $623,700 for workforce development

• $345,500 for early care and education; and

• $208,000 for convenient neighborhood projects.

In total, 184 Je co nonpro ts will bene t, with some receiving grant funding across multiple focus areas.

Several recipients described how the grant funding is exactly what they needed right now to expand or maintain their work to help Je co residents.

One example is the Golden-based CAG Food Pantry, which received a $15,000 CGF grant. at money directly translates to more food on the shelves and more clients served, Executive Director Britni LeRoux said.

“With this grant, we’ll be able to … serve more families and o er a greater variety of nutritious and culturally relevant options,” LeRoux continued. “ … Beyond the immediate impact, the grant will also strengthen our outreach and engagement e orts, enabling us to o er more comprehensive and responsive support to those who rely on us.”

Meanwhile, Center for the Arts Evergreen will use its $27,000 grant in 2025 to host a free after-school program for middle- and high school students. e funds will also go toward scholarships for next summer’s mural camp.

Executive Director Lisa Nierenberg said the after-school program will be one day a week for seven or eight weeks, ending with an exhibit of the students’ work. She said the students will be able to explore whatever medium they want as part of an “open studio concept.”

Nierenberg emphasized how this afterschool program is so important because it’ll bring in students from all over the mountain area, not just Evergreen.

yond can attend thanks to CAE’s new transit van, which Nierenberg said was purchased thanks to an anonymous donor. CAE will use the van to transport the students to and from their schools during the eight-week program.

Human tra cking bill focuses on massage parlors

Rep. Lauren Boebert bases measure on Douglas County ordinance

BY CAITLIN KYM COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert got the inspiration for her latest bill from the district she hopes to represent next term.

Boebert’s Human Tra cking Fin-

gerprint Background Check Protection bill, introduced earlier this week, would require massage parlor owners and employees to undergo ngerprint background checks in an e ort to crack down on human tra cking.

“We’ve already introduced it at a state level and I think it’s time to bring it at a federal level. I think it’s a good piece of legislation,” Boebert told CPR News. “I was talking with the Douglas County commissioners about it and happy to get the ball rolling on it.”

It’s based on a 2023 ordinance enacted by Douglas County, in the 4th

Congressional District, and a Colorado bill passed and signed into law earlier this year.

e Douglas County ordinance sets license requirements for massage facilities and requires background checks for the people working in them. e state law requires all other communities with these businesses to ensure they’re background-checking employees and owners.

Boebert’s bill also has additional requirements, including having law enforcement agencies report any criminal activity found during a back-

ground check and requiring owners and employees to take training on how to recognize and report signs of human tra cking.

Douglas County Commissioners issued a joint statement saying the congressional push is “vital.”

“Human tra cking is an issue that touches every corner of the nation, and this legislation provides important tools to combat it, ensuring the safety of our citizens,” wrote Commissioners Abe Laydon, George Teal and Lora omas.

Colorado workers have questions about paid family and medical leave.

Here’s what you need to know.

Colorado’s Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program allows eligible Colorado workers to get up to 12 weeks of paid time off each year.

By Tracy Marshall

(DENVER) – Coloradans no longer have to choose between caring for themselves and paying the bills.

The new Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program gives Colorado workers pay replacement when they need to step away from their jobs to care for themselves or a family member.

It’s a benefit available to almost everyone who earned at least $2,500 in Colorado in roughly the last year – including self-employed and gig workers. Workers in Colorado can now get up to 12 weeks of partial pay replacement per year after certain life events, such as the birth of a child or a serious medical condition.

But many Coloradans don’t know about this new benefit and how to get it. Here’s a quick overview, so you know that when life happens, FAMLI has you covered.

Where did FAMLI come from?

Colorado voters approved FAMLI in 2020. We’re actually the first state in the country to enact paid family and medical leave through a ballot initiative.

How does it work?

Employers and employees in Colorado

have been paying into the FAMLI program since January of 2023. Premiums are set to 0.9% of the employee’s wage, with 0.45% paid by the employer and 0.45% paid by the employee.

Nearly every Colorado employer is required to comply with the FAMLI Act’s requirements – by either participating in the state program or providing a private plan of equal or greater benefit.

Only local governments have the option to vote to opt out of participating in the program. (Employees of opted-out local governments can still participate if they wish; they simply agree to pay the employee portion of the premium for three years.) Federal employers and some railroad employers are fully exempt from the program.

Family and medical leave isn’t new – the national Family and Medical Leave Act, which took effect in 1993, grants 12 weeks of job-protected leave for many. But it’s unpaid leave and excludes many part-time workers, workers at small-sized businesses and those who have worked less than 12 months.

What life events make someone eligible for paid leave?

Colorado’s FAMLI program covers workers who need to temporarily step away from work for the following reasons:

• Bonding with a new child (including adoptions and foster care/kinship care placements)

•Managing a serious health condition

• Caring for a family member with a serious health condition

• Making arrangements because of a military deployment

• Dealing with the immediate needs and impacts from domestic partner violence, sexual assault or stalking.

How much does FAMLI pay?

Employees can receive up to 90% of their wages, based on a sliding scale. So if you make $500 a week, your FAMLI benefit would be $450 a week. Benefits are capped at $1,100 per week.

This cap is proportional to the average weekly wage for Colorado and may increase over time. We have a calculator on our website (famli.colorado.gov) to help families get a rough estimate of both their paycheck deductions and potential benefit payments.

What if my

employer won’t let me go?

Colorado voters made sure that employers can’t fire people just because they need to

take FAMLI leave. The law prohibits employers from interfering with your right to take paid medical leave, and it says they have to keep your information confidential.

Even better, the law includes important job protections that kick in after you’ve worked somewhere for 180 days, or roughly six months. After that, employers are required to reinstate workers on FAMLI leave to the jobs they had before (with some exceptions, such as seasonal work that was scheduled to wind down anyway.)

We’ve got lots of resources on our website to explain exactly how FAMLI job protection works.

What are my next steps?

Supporting Colorado workers who need FAMLI leave is our passion. You can file your claim online, with lots of how-to guides and videos to help you through the process.

For personalized assistance, you can call us any weekday between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. at 1-866-CO-FAMLI (1-866-263-2654).

12 leaf-peeping hikes to make the most of fall colors while you can

Where hikers find the best foliage in Colorado

BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It is o cially fall, and in Colorado, that’s when the state truly shows o its full array of mountain beauty. Hikers, drivers and mountain bikers can enjoy eye-popping fall foliage without trekking too far from the metro area, but others travel deep into the

Centennial State for those eeting red and golden leaves.

Many meteorologists feared recent cold and rainy weather would knock o most of the colors, but scores of them survived and are just waiting to be ogled if you know where to go.

at’s why we at Colorado Community Media put together a list of some of the most rewarding hiking experiences for autumn sentimentalists.

As weekend adventurers hit the mountains after the work week, trafc is sure to pile up. So if you can, try one of these stunning hikes during

the week, or at least get up early to beat the morning weekend crowd.

Here are 12 hikes to show o the state’s best autumn colors. Some may require a bit of a road trip, but most are easy day hikes not far from the metro area. Sometimes, you just have to get out there.

Free and fair elections don’t

For me, every election is about community power — the power we hold when we come together. Our vote is that power. This is my fourth election now as your Jefferson County Clerk, and what I’ve come to learn about our community is thatwe cherish and protect the power of our vote, not because we have to, but because it’s who we are.

Let me explain. In the last presidential election, the U.S. had a record voter turnout of 66%. Here, however, about 90% of you voted. Jeffco, when the ballot box is open, you show up.

Around the country, election offices are scrambling to fill their hundreds or thousands of temporary worker roles. But not here. Because when we needed to hire 900 election workers, thousands of you applied. I used to run the state’s largest nonpartisan election protection effort, and I learned a lot about what it looks like when voters care about and are engaged in their democracy. A clear sign is whether they’re asking questions. Not just easy ones, like where and when, but harder ones, like why and how. Over the past year, you’ve sent us thousands

just happen; they’re

of messages and questions, and several hundred of you have come out and toured our facilities to make sure you understand the election process.

Our elections are in good hands because they’re in your hands.

As Clerk, I’m committed to free and fair elections, ensuring that every eligible voter has the opportunity to cast their vote and have it counted. And when you show up, we’ll show up for you. Here’s how we’ll protect:

Your right to vote: If you’re eligible, you can vote. If you’re 18, a Colorado resident for at least 22 days, a US citizen, and are not currently serving a felony sentence in jail or prison, you are eligible. And you can register right up to and including on Election Day.

Your ballot: From drop boxes to vote centers, every ballot is protected by layers of security, from our bipartisan teams of workers to video surveillance to chains of custody. We account for every ballot from

a community e ort

when it’s cast through Election Day and for 25 months after each election.

Voter rolls:We conduct near-daily maintenance to update voter lists with data from official sources and meticulously match signatures on ballot envelopes to those we have on file. If there’s any question about whether it’s you who signed your envelope, we’ll reach out. We also work with the District Attorney to investigate, and prosecute if necessary, anything flagged for review.

Your vote: Our machines are tested by party representatives before every election to ensure they’re counting accurately. They’re never connected to the internet, kept in a restricted area, and are under constant surveillance. We audit the results after every single election to ensure accuracy.

Elections are a community effort. They’re powered by your neighbors, friends, the customers at your grocery store, the hikers you wave at on the trail, and the people you sit next to in church. Every ballot is handled with care by people like you who believe in fairness and transparency. It can be easy to feel anxious about elections. You may hear things that

stir up doubts or fear. I believe that our democracy is built on trust and that the foundation of trust is transparency. We’re here to earn that trust by making our elections as open to your examination as we possibly can. Whether the results go the way you want them to or not, I want you to feel confident we got them right.

We’re prepared for this election. While we don’t expect any interference, we’ve got generators to keep operations running smoothly during a power outage, protocols for addressing mystery substances returned in ballot envelopes, election workers trained to de-escalate confrontations, law enforcement partners briefed and ready to support us, and more.

At the end of the day, our elections are about shaping our future, together. So let’s show up for each other. Let’s trust our process, our neighbors, and the collective power of our voices. Come take a tour. Send us your questions. Get engaged. This election is in your hands, and we’ll protect it with all we’ve got.

Amanda Gonzalez is the Jefferson County Clerk & Recorder.

In response to ‘Grumpy on the Trail’ column I look forward to reading the Golden Transcript and was a little disappointed with a column in the Sept. 12 paper, “Grumpy on the Trail” by Marjorie Woodru . e negativity of this story was a bit disheartening in our already disagreeable world just didn’t sit right with me. You are out in the beautiful outdoors and are irritated because someone said, “good morning,” “how are you doing?” and other greetings? I would think you could at least be positive even if you don’t want to talk to someone on the trail. How about a thumbs up and then move on?

I hope all your columns aren’t this negative.

A bunch of autumnal work (and fun)

The rst week of October always brings about a feel of both the end of somenthings and the beginning of others. Although fall o cially began a couple of weeks ago, we still have enough warm weather to host the last weekend of some of the summer’s recurring activities. So, this Saturday, Oct. 5, will mark the last of our Golden Farmer’s Market of the season. It’s also the day of the nal Golden Super Cruise happening this year. e market will be open from 8 a.m.- 1 p.m. at the corner of 10th and Illinois Streets and the Super Cruise will be going from 5-8:30 p.m. on South Golden Road so if this is on your list of favorites, you will might want to keep that in mind.

Another fun thing happening on this weekend is Autumn Fest 2024, presented by the Golden History Museums. is is a free celebration of Golden featuring hands-on activities for the whole family, including crafts, large vehicles and even farm animals. Join them to welcome the fall season at the Golden History Park located at 1020 11th Street here in Golden. It will from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 6 and will feature a make-your-craft station, 4-H petting zoo, a bunch of big trucks, a costumed Civil War interpretation plus live music from Alibi and food trucks from Woody’s Wood red Pizza and Corgi Crepes. Check out www. goldenhistory.org for more information if you need it. ey have other upcoming events there too.

With the leaves starting to pile up on your lawn, it’s time to start doing a little bit of Fall clean up before the snow starts to come in. I’m going to give you a little extra notice on this as it can take a little while to get everything cut and bagged up since you usually end up doing it a bit at a time as the leaves fall o the trees. I want to give everyone a month’s notice so you don’t end up trying to nd those paper lawn bags in the store at the last minute.

Be sure to mark your calendars because the Fall Yard Waste Collection Days are going to be the week of November 4-8 for 2024.   is is for residents who participate in the Pay as You row (PAYT) program. So, here are a few things you need to know about it…

First of all, Yard Waste Collection Days only happen twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. is semi-annual yard waste collection occurs on your normal service day and will be collected by a separate truck on your designated trash collection day. Bags should be placed near where your trash is collected by 7 a.m., you just put the extra bags by the curb with your trash cans.

AVENUE FLASHES

Yard waste material may be placed in your organics cart, gathered, or in certi ed compostable bags available for purchase at most home improvement or hardware stores. Yard waste for this collection is limited to grass clippings, pine needles, leaves, weeds, branches, sawdust and ground or chipped wood.

If you have branches, they must be less than 4 feet in length or 18 inches in diameter but there’s a new rule change for those. A1 Organics, the company that actually collects this stu , no longer accepts natural ber string, yarn or rope either. So, you either have to bag your branches or leave them in an organized pile without twine.

Yard waste will be limited to 3 cubic yards per resident which is equivalent to an area that is approximately 4 feet by 4 feet by 4 feet. or 21 of those certi ed compostable 30-gallon bags. e bags you use are important. ey are those big paper ones, not plastic bags. ey won’t pick them up if you use the wrong bags.

OK, so here’s the “naughty list:” No plastics, dirt, cactus, tree stumps, branches greater than 4 inches in diameter, ashes, animal waste, treated lumber, logs, old garden hoses, broken ower pots or construction material is allowed for this service. It’s collected in November, so you know that the Elf on the Shelf will already be looking out the window and you don’t want to end up getting a lump of coal for Christmas. If you celebrate other holidays, don’t worry about that. You just don’t want to end up trying to gure out how you are going to get rid of all the stu they left sitting on the curb because you didn’t follow the rules. at should give you all the information you need, but if you still have any questions about it go to www.cityofgolden.gov, click on Services then scroll to Yard Waste Collection Days.

Yeah, I know. anks, John, for giving us a bunch of work to look forward to. It may be a chore, but you’ll thank me for the advanced notice then next time you drive by that big box store and remember to grab a few packs of bags.

Jace, a four-year-old terrier mix, could barely contain his excitement inside the shop of the Dumb Friends League shelter as his new family stocked up on supplies for him.

Denver residents Eliorah Abramowitz and Azi Hanssen said they came to the shelter looking for an older, but still energetic dog that would be as happy chilling on the couch as playing fetch at the park.

After meeting with a few dogs, Abramowitz and Hanssen said they were drawn to Jace.

“It was just a perfect match,” Abramowitz said.

Similarly for Sandra Brande and her daughter Ashley, who live in Centennial, they quickly fell in love with the wiggly Husky puppy Laika. e Brande family knew they wanted to adopt because they found their Husky Daisy at the shelter two years ago and have loved her presence in the family ever since.

“ ere are so many animals who need loving homes,” Sandra said as Laike squirmed in Ashley’s arms. “It’s so nice to have the liveliness in the house that a pet brings.” at sentiment was echoed by many new pet parents and sta at the Dumb Friends League, an animal shelter with locations in Denver, Castle Rock and Alamosa.

“It’s always hard to say who rescued who,” said volunteer Michelle Schneider, of Highlands Ranch. Jace and Laika are some of the hundreds of lucky pets to nd families through the Dumb Friends League during its month-long Clear the Shelter

campaign, which wrapped up on Sept. 10.

Alyssa Putzer, communications manager for the Dumb Friends League, said 1,161 animals were adopted during the Clear the Shelter count, surpassing the shelter’s original goal of adopting out 1,000 pets across its three locations.

Mary Sarah Fairweather, vice president of operations at the Dumb Friends League, said participating in the Clear the Shelter campaign helps the shelter not only nd homes for pets but also care for more animals.

“Clear the Shelters is an amazing opportunity to showcase the wonderful pets in our care,” she said. “With ongoing challenges like overcrowding in shelters, this event is an essential opportunity for our community to connect with animals that are ready to bring joy and companionship into their lives.”

Even with all of the adoptions in the last month, the Clear the Shelters campaign only accounts for a fraction of the adoptions that Dumb Friends League facilitates year-round. Last year, the shelters brought in over 20,500 animals and are on pace to serve a similar amount this year, Fairweather said.

Dogs, cats and small animals, like guinea pigs and bunnies, come to the shelter as surrenders or strays and 86% are rehomed.

“ ey come to us from the community, owners who can’t keep their pets, and as strays,” Fairweather said.

Most animals stay at the shelter for an average of 10-15 days, heading to new homes as soon as sta can help pair them with the right family. Fairweather said another bene t of the Clear the Shelters campaign is that it helps animals who have been at the shelter longer or require special care get adopted.

Fairweather said the adoption process is like dating with the goal being to nd the “perfect match.”

“It’s really a conversation-based process, so we want to get to know what the families are looking for and we share what each individual animal needs,” she said.

Richard Myers, of Denver, said he volunteers at the shelter because it’s like working in a “bubble of love.”

“ ere’s so much care for the patrons and for the animals,” Myers said. “One of the greatest joys of working here is having someone come in who looks sad, maybe they lost a pet a few months ago, and 45 minutes later, they’re going out the door with a pep in their step and the dog is looking like a newly caught marlin, jumping around so much.”

In order to encourage as many adoptions as possible, Fairweather said the shelter looks to reduce barriers to pet ownership like cost or lack of resources.

All of the dogs and cats that are adopted out are vaccinated and spayed or neutered. e Dumb Friends League also partners with some local veterinarians to waive the cost for the rst visit, as well as Fetch Pet Insurance to provide health care support for furry friends.

Another resource the shelter o ers is a free behavioral helpline to support pet parents through training or care adjustments.

“Our goal is to help pet owners keep their pets at home and out of the shelter,” Fairweather said. “We’re lucky to have such beautiful facilities with a team of volunteers and sta who take incredible care of (the animals), but it’s not a home.”

With the current overcrowding in shelters, Fairweather said it’s more important than ever to adopt animals instead of turning to a breeder.

“It gives pets in the shelter system a second chance,” she said. “Whether you’re looking for a little guinea pig or a giant couch potato dog, there’s somebody for everybody.”

Sandra and Ashley Brande, of Centennial, cuddle their new puppy Laika, who they adopted at the Dumb Friends League shelter. This is the second dog the Brande family has adopted from the shelter.

Je co Senate, House and Commissioner candidates address voters at Ralston Valley Coalition forum

BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Je erson County Senate, House and Commissioner candidates expressed their views on government transparency, housing development, county infrastructure, property taxes and civil discourse at a candidate forum held in Arvada on Sept. 18. e forum, co-hosted by the

Ralston Valley Coalition and Colorado Community Media, included Senate District 19 candidates Lindsey Daughtery and Sam Bandimere; House District 24 candidate Lisa Feret; House District 27 candidates Rep. Brianna Titone and Ed Cox; Je erson County Commissioner District 1 candidates Charlie Johnson and Rachel Zenzinger; and District 2 candidate Natalie Menten.

House District candidate Gwen Henderson and Commissioner District 2 candidate Andy Kerr were absent.

Colorado Community Media Director of Editorial and Audience Engagement Linda Shapley and McIntyre Neighbors United member Anne Laffoon moderated the free event.

Menten supports adopting a similar provision stating voters need to be able to trust that land use issues are decided by someone who represents them. Johnson and Zenzinger said it would depend on the question, and both would expect elected o cials and sta to work together and communicate openly.

Sustainable development and housing crisis

Good governance and transparency e candidates addressed their thoughts on recent legislation passed by the 2024 Colorado legislature that limits government transparency. An amendment to the Colorado Open Meetings Law allows lawmakers to have private conversations through emails and texts and to discuss public business in small groups.

Titone said she supported the law, likening it to a football team having a huddle before a play.

“We have a team, and other people have a team. We need to be able to communicate with each other,” Titone said. “Is that going to be open all the time? It’s a di cult answer, and we may need to have more discussions about it.”

Feret and Daugherty said the law was out-of-date and needed to be updated. Both believe transparency is vital in government and that plenty of policies, like the Open Records Act, ensure the public has access to information.

On the other hand, Cox said that while he understood some changes needed to be made to update the law, he was disheartened by the bill’s passing. “If I were to pick between striking deals behind closed doors, I would rather have it open to the public so they can digest it and make educated decisions,” Cox said.

Bandimere said he’s in favor of open communication and transparency.

ose running for commissioner addressed whether, based on a 2022 provision passed in Arvada, Je erson County elected o cials should also decide speci c administrative land use issues rather than leaving it to county sta .

House candidates discussed a recent open house hosted by the Colorado Department of Transportation regarding a potential new rail station in Arvada and a rail line expansion through the county to provide service to Steamboat Springs and Craig and whether they support those plans.

Cox said he prefers to prioritize maintaining and improving existing infrastructure, such as roads and is skeptical about the e ectiveness of rail systems in reducing congestion.

Feret supports multi-modal transportation, including passenger rail, citing safety and environmental bene ts. She also believes in creating more diverse housing options, such as townhomes and condos, to allow residents to downsize while staying in the community.

Titone also supports the mountain rail concept, noting the bene ts of reducing road congestion, improving safety, and meeting greenhouse gas reduction goals.

County Commissioner candidates each weighed in on balancing highdensity development while preserving semi-rural areas in Je erson County, focusing on transportation and housing policies.

Johnson strongly opposes the overreach of state interference in local matters and believes high-density housing is out of control. “I think we vote for things like transportation, which sounds great, but then years later, we get another bill that forces those high-density housing units within a mile radius of where we live,” Johnson said.

FORUM

Zenzinger said she is also against a new state law, HB24-1313, requiring transit-oriented communities like Arvada to meet set housing opportunity goals because it undermines local government authority. She stressed the importance of preserving the rural aspects of Je erson County while encouraging responsible development in high-density areas, particularly around transit stations.

Menten criticized the shift from incentivizing density to forcing it, describing it as a heavy-handed approach that undermines local autonomy.

Infrastructure, roads and trails

Senate candidates Daughtery and Bandimere shared their views on balancing increased water demand with plans for growth.

Daughtery stressed the need for updated water infrastructure and suggested balancing development with the concerns of local residents. She advocated for conducting thorough studies and hosting discussions with a ected communities before deciding on the use of water resources, like with the plan to expand Bear Creek Lake.

Bandimere agreed and emphasized the challenge of building reservoirs in areas where communities don’t want them and said thorough studies should be made before committing to major projects.

Zenzinger, Menten and Johnson then shared their views on developing and preserving integrated trail systems. Each supported the bene ts trails provide but had di erent priori-

ties regarding their funding.

Menten believes implementing a property tax volunteer credit system would incentivize residents to volunteer time in exchange for property tax reductions to help fund and maintain trail expansions.

“Our open space is the Crown Jewel of Je erson County,” Zenzinger said. “We have a separate tax that goes to support our open space, and when you have trails interacting with our open spaces, it’s important to have a robust, connected system.”

Zenzinger said she would advocate for stronger zoning regulations and recommends meeting with developers to set aside land for trails.

Cox said the county should prioritize roads over bike lanes and trails.

“Once we have our roads xed, we can talk about bike lanes,” Cox said. He also said they must be safe to use at night.

Property tax and government finance

Regarding the ever-growing cost of living, Daughtery emphasized her work in a recent bipartisan special session that cut property taxes by $255 million for residents and businesses.

She explained that the special session was necessary to prevent ballot initiatives that could have harmed schools and essential services.

By contrast, Bandimere questioned the need for a special session and suggested that tax relief should have been handled during the regular session. Drawing from his experience as an entrepreneur, Bandimere emphasized the importance of managing government nances e ectively to address economic challenges.

When asked about a 2024 state law meant to curb abuses by Metropolitan Districts and HOAs that

lead to home foreclosures over small amounts of unpaid fees and if they would take further steps to regulate them, Bandimere said no.

“When you buy a home, you know whether it’s in an HOA or not,” Bandimere said. “ at’s a personal choice.”

Daugherty said that with limited housing options, not everyone has a choice but to live in an HOA-free community. She believes the most signi cant issue is transparency, and the solution for these organizations is to communicate where they spend money and how they make decisions.

House candidates addressed the passage of a deal during the recent special session that limited the property tax rate. While it does back ll a signi cant amount for school districts and nearly 100% for some re, ambulance and water districts, it doesn’t back ll all special governments.

Titone said she was concerned about the impact on re districts, which she believes are most impacted.

“We want to make sure our re departments are prepared with the best resources and re equipment we can to protect our homes, property, and lives,” Titone said. “So I’ll be working on a policy to alleviate some of that.”

While acknowledging the challenges municipalities and local entities face due to reduced revenue, Cox emphasized that the government should control spending, highlighting that government expenditures have risen signi cantly in recent years.

Feret suggested that savings from improving Medicaid could be reallocated to alleviate property tax burdens. She emphasized the importance of reviewing state expenditures, particularly in healthcare and reallocating funds to other critical areas.

Civil discourse and voter participation

County Commissioner candidates discussed their views on ensuring community input in land use code development, particularly in light of delays over the Together Je co project and the need for transparency.

Zenzinger said these decisions must be made locally and involve the public while acknowledging that the Together Je co project will likely be completed before new commissioners take o ce. If it limits citizen participation, she said she would work to address that.

Menten expressed concerns about using private consultants in county decisions, noting that it often removes the decision-making process from the community and those responsible for hearing citizens’ input.

Johnson said he prefers greater community engagement rather than relying heavily on expensive consultants and that local government should focus on listening to residents and act accordingly.

Regarding promoting respectful discourse, challenges to our democracy, balanced stewardship and bipartisan solutions, Bandimere said that the U.S. is a republic, not a democracy, based on Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution.

His priority as a state senator would be to bring more openness to government operations to foster support and engagement from the public.

Daugherty re ected on the challenges of maintaining decorum and respect in the political environment, particularly over the last four years. She emphasized the importance of seeing people as humans rst, nding common ground, and fostering bipartisan collaboration to create meaningful policy.

e Arvada Center is bringing a spooky story to the stage just in time for Halloween. Filled with vampires and vampire hunters, “Dracula” is mostly made up of one thing: men. However, that won’t be the case on stage.

“Dracula: A Feminist Revenge Fantasy, Really” o ers a twist on the classic tale, with several characters — such as Ren eld and Van Helsing — played by women. e show reimagines Dracula’s story, with women at the center of the ght against him.

“I think that borrows a little bit of like Bu y the Vampire Slayer vibes,” said Jessica Austgen, who plays Rein eld. “We now have these women kicking ass and beating the bad guy.”

While Ren eld and Van Helsing are now women, women from the original story — Mina Harker and Lucy Westenra — also get to step into the spotlight.

“(Women) are there to be pretty and be safe, to give the men something to love and ght for, and somebody to rescue,” said Austgen, referencing the original story. “In

this show, Van Helsing, aided by Nina, now does a lot of the rescuing. I think giving those folks power to complete the mission of defeating Dracula, it’s really impactful to see that.”

“Dracula: A Feminist Revenge Fantasy, Really” places women front and center in the ght against Dracula. However, it’s still the same story, and it’s lled with plenty of blood.

According to costume designer Clare Henkel, the show’s bloodiness proved to be its own challenge.

“Sometimes the blood is coming out of somebody’s mouth, so it has to be edible,” Henkel said. “Other times it’s fresh. Dried blood looks di erent than fresh blood.”

For Henkel and the rest of the creative team, blood posed a special challenge because it was used in so many di erent ways throughout the show.

“We have charts, we have graphs,” Henkel said. “We’ve tested blood on all these di erent fabrics. It’s a lot.”

Preparations for the show even included a “blood rehearsal” — a special rehearsal before the dress rehearsal where all the blood-related e ects were practiced.

“ is is one of those Halloween, over-the-top, ridiculous bloody shows,” Austgen said.

While the show makes some changes to the classic “Dracula” tale, it’s still the same story.

CCU takes down Mines volleyball 3-1 as conference play begins

CCU advanced to 6-4 overall and 1-1 in conference play, having lost to MSU Denver 3-0 the previous night.

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN

CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

rough the rst three sets, the Colorado School of Mines volleyball players must’ve felt a bit like they were playing their doppelgängers in the Colorado Christian Cougars.

e teams seemed evenly matched with similar playing styles during the Sept. 21 game at CCU. e Orediggers won the rst set 25-23, while the Cougars took the next two 25-21 each.

However, the di erences between them became more prominent in the fourth set, as the Cougars scored eight straight points on the Orediggers and won the set 25-11.

With the 4-1 home win on Sept. 21,

e Orediggers, who were 4-6 overall and 1-1 in conference play going into their Sept. 27-28 Homecoming weekend matches, will have a chance at revenge soon.

Mines hosts CCU at 5 p.m. Oct. 5 for the RMAC Regional Pod. e teams also play again on Halloween night at CCU.

“ ey’re very similar to us, so it’s kind of like playing ourselves,” Mines junior libero Jada Price said. “Even in practice, I feel like I’m playing them.”

Mines Coach Jamie Magalei said her relatively young squad is “growing by the minute,” as the freshmen in the rotation are gaining a lot of experience early in the season.

“For some of them, it’s their rst collegiate season, and they’re on the oor in moments like this,” she continued. “ at can only be a positive thing in my mind.”

She also commended her veteran players like junior outside hitter Kate Kudlac, who had 13 kills while hitting .324, for their leadership during a tough match. Magalei anticipated her players would have “a di erent attitude and a di erent response” during the Oct. 5 rematch against CCU.

“I thought CCU played a heck of a game,” she said. “ … We need to have a better response when they’re taking control.”

RMAC play underway

Mines practically has a brand-new squad this year, Magalei described. Eight of the 22 players are freshmen, and four are transfers.

e Orediggers saw mixed results in their non-conference schedule, going 3-5 combined at their own Oredigger Classic and the Northwest Nazarene Tournament in Idaho.

Kudlac said Mines has improved

greatly since its rst match on Sept. 6, saying, “We’re playing better together, and we’re all de nitely getting more comfortable, which is helpful as we go into conference.”

After winning their Sept. 20 conference opener at Chadron State 3-0, the Orediggers were hoping to maintain that momentum on the road Sept. 21 at Colorado Christian.

And for the rst set, that seemed likely.

However, the Cougars found their o ensive stride in the second set, Magalei said.

“ eir setter did a phenomenal job of running in-tempo o ense and made us defensively scramble,” Magalei continued.

CCU senior setter Izzy Jones had 53 assists for the night and became the fourth setter in program history to reach 3,000 career assists.

Colorado Christian volleyball players and their fans celebrate their 3-1 home win over Colorado School of Mines Sept. 21. The teams play each other again this season Oct. 5 at Mines and Oct. 31 at CCU.

VOLLEYBALL

Still, while Cougars found their rhythm in the second and third sets, the Orediggers did a good job of keeping it close. And the Mines faithful who’d made the ninemile trek to Lakewood reasonably hoped the Orediggers could win the fourth set and force a fth.

But, Mines’ serve receive and transition defense failed, as CCU had an eightpoint run midway through the set and a six-point run toward the end. Price said the Orediggers are typically good about adapting and bouncing back, their mistakes snowballed and the set got away from them.

“I think that fourth set, we just shut down,” Price said. “ … It just happens sometimes, because volleyball is so up and down. It’s a game of mistakes.”

Kudlac commended her teammates for ghting hard, saying it was a learning experience.

Mines now faces a tricky section of its conference schedule.

For Homecoming weekend, it was slated to host Westminster Sept. 27 and No. 18 Colorado Mesa Sept. 28.

en, Mines faces a second-consecutive ranked opponent in No. 2 MSU Denver Oct. 4 before its Oct. 5 rematch with CCU.

Magalei said that, like playing CCU, the Orediggers must have a response for MSU Denver.

“We have to do the little things right on our end — sticking to our game plan and playing hard,” she said.

Kudlac and Price were looking forward to the Oct. 4-5 matches, with Price adding how the Orediggers would work on adapting to their doppelgängers, the Cougars.

“ ey’re a very good team,” Price continued. “I’d love to replay them.”

Public Notice

ORDINANCE NO. 2245

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GOLDEN, COLORADO, AMENDING SECTION 4.94.120 OF THE GOLDEN MUNICIPAL CODE CONCERNING OPERATIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON MARIJUANA LICENSING

WHEREAS, the City of Golden, Colorado, (“Golden” or the “City”), is a home rule municipality, organized and existing under Article XX, Section 6 of the Colorado Constitution; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to its home rule authority, Sections 2.2 and 3.3 of the City’s Charter, and Article 15, Title 31 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, the City is authorized to regulate businesses and to adopt and enforce all regulations that may be necessary or expedient for promoting the public health, safety, convenience, and the general welfare of the community; and WHEREAS, Section 16 of Article XVIII of the Colorado Constitution and Article 10, Title 44 of the Colorado Revised Statutes authorize the sale of marijuana, marijuana products, and marijuana accessories at retail locations for personal use by persons twenty-one years of age or older, subject to state and local regulations; and

WHEREAS, the regulations that established Golden’s marijuana licensing rules were adopted by Ordinance 2183 in 2022, following the results of a ballot question that was approved by Golden voters to allow a limited number of retail marijuana stores in Golden; and

WHEREAS, following the adoption of these marijuana licensing regulations, there have been questions related to Section 4.94.120 of the Golden Municipal Code, specifically “Signs and Advertising” that warrant further clarity; and WHEREAS, Section 4.94.120 of the Golden Municipal Code sets forth the City’s operational restrictions for marijuana licensing (“GMC 4.94.120”); and

WHEREAS, the City Council desires to clarify the existing operational restrictions for marijuana store advertising for marijuana licensees, the City, and the public, by striking an appropriate balance between protecting the public health, safety, general welfare of the community and enabling the economic vitality of marijuana stores; and

WHEREAS, the proposed changes to GMC 4.94.120 in Ordinance 2245 are targeted amendments intended to clarify the signage and advertising rules associated with the original marijuana licensing ordinance adopted in 2022. The proposed changes are consistent with staff’s enforcement of these regulations to date but provide greater certainty to the businesses and the public, as well as staff.

WHEREAS, the proposed amendments clarify issues related to advertising: (1) the definition of public place; (2) that unsolicited direct mail advertisements are prohibited; (3) that signs on the same building as the marijuana store may use both the name of the store and words and symbols that represent marijuana, such as the word “dispensary” or the green cross symbol; (4) that off-site signs may use the name of the store, but no other additional words or symbols that represent marijuana; and (5) that business listings may include the name, location, and contact information of marijuana stores; and

WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the proposed amendments to GMC 4.94.120 and has determined that such changes are in the best interest of the public health, safety, and welfare and desire to adopt the same.

THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GOLDEN, COLORADO:

Section

Section 2. Section 4.94.120 of the Golden Municipal Code, “Operation restrictions”, is hereby amended to read as follows, with additions shown in underlined and deletions shown in strikethrough:

CHAPTER 4.94 – REGULATED MARIJUANA LICENSING

4.94.120 – Operation restrictions […]

(p)Signs and advertising.

(1) Any person or premises licensed as a regulated marijuana store shall comply with all city ordinances regulating signs and advertising. In addition, no regulated marijuana store shall use any advertising material that is misleading, deceptive, false, or that, as evidenced either by the content of the advertising material or the medium or the manner in which the advertising is disseminated, is designed to appeal to persons under 18 years of age.

(2) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, it shall be unlawful for any person licensed under this chapter or any other person to advertise any regulated marijuana or regulated marijuana product anywhere in the city where the advertisement is visible to members of the public from any street, sidewalk, park, or other public place as defined in section 8.04.100, including advertising utilizing any of the following media: Any billboard or other outdoor general advertising device; any sign mounted on a vehicle, any hand-held or other portable sign; or any handbill, leaflet, or flier directly handed to any person in a public place, left upon a motor vehicle, or posted upon any public or private property without the consent of the property owner; or unsolicited direct mail advertisements. The prohibition set forth in this section shall not apply to:

a. Any sign located on a building that contains a regulated marijuana store which exists solely for the purpose of identifying the location of the regulated marijuana store and which otherwise complies with the city's zoning requirements and any other applicable city laws and regulations. Signs located on the building may use words and symbols that represent marijuana, such as the word “dispensary” or the image of a green cross; or

b. Any sign associated with a regulated marijuana store that is not located on the same building as the store, such as on-site directional signs, monument signs associated with a commercial development, or off-site signs located on private property, so long as the sign displays only the name of the store, but no other words or symbols that represent marijuana; or

c. Any advertisement contained within a newspaper, magazine, or other periodical of general circulation within the city; or

d.. Advertising which is purely incidental to sponsorship of a charitable event by a regulated marijuana store; or

e. Advertising such as business listings displayed on websites, brochures and directories which are controlled by entities other than the regulated marijuana store and which provide the name, location, and contact information of the store, but no other words or symbols that represent marijuana.

(3) For purposes of this subsection (p), the terms "advertise," "advertising," or "advertisement," mean the act of drawing the public's attention to a regulated marijuana store in order to promote the sale of regulated marijuana or regulated marijuana products by the store. […]

Section 3. If any article, section, paragraph sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is held to be unconstitutional or invalid for any reason, such decision will not affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this ordinance and each part or parts hereof irrespective of the fact that any one part or parts be declared unconstitutional or invalid.

Section 4. All other ordinances or portions thereof inconsistent or conflicting with this ordinance or any portion hereof are hereby repealed to the extent of such inconsistency or conflict.

Section 5. The repeal or modification of any provision of the Municipal Code of the City of Golden by this ordinance shall not release, extinguish, alter, modify or change in whole or in

part any penalty, forfeiture or liability, either civil or criminal, which shall have been incurred under such provision. Each provision shall be treated and held as still remaining in force for the purpose of sustaining any and all proper actions, suits, proceedings and prosecutions for enforcement of the penalty, forfeiture or liability, as well as for the purpose of sustaining any judgment, decree or order which can or may be rendered, entered or made in such actions, suits, proceedings or prosecutions.

Section 6. This ordinance is deemed necessary for the protection of the health, welfare and safety of the community.

Section 7. The codifier of the City’s Municipal Code, Municode, is hereby authorized to make such numerical and formatting changes as may be necessary to incorporate the provisions of this ordinance within the Golden Municipal Code.

Section 8. Violations of this ordinance shall be punishable in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.01.110 of the Golden Municipal Code.

Section 9. This ordinance shall become effective five (5) days after publication following passage in accordance with Section 5.9 of the Charter for the City of Golden, Colorado.

“Dracula: A Feminist Revenge Fantasy, Really” runs through Nov. 3, with performances at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday as well as 1 p.m. on Wednesdays and 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

Tickets and more information can be found on the Arvada Center’s website.

State Sen. Bob Gardner was one of the prime sponsors of the legislation at the state Capitol that originally enabled local licensing of massage parlors, as well as the more recent bill around background checks.

Conceptually, he thinks having the background check requirement is important, but the conservative from El Paso County added, “I have a little question in my mind about, ‘Well, does the federal government need to tell state and local governments that they need to do this?’”

He’s pleased that others see Colorado as a good model, but he’d prefer to convince other state legislatures to enact this type of legislation rather than have it come from Washington.

Boebert, however, said that the ght against human tra cking should be addressed at all levels of government.

e House will be out from ursday until November 12, so the bill, which currently has no other co-sponsors, is unlikely to advance in the remaining ve legislative weeks of the 118th Congress.

Still, Boebert said if not this Congress, she hopes for it to gain traction in the next one.
