    The City of Golden is governed by a Council/Manager form of government. This format has been used successfully by cities throughout America to channel the will of the citizenry through an elected Council. This Council appoints a professional manager to implement and direct the various goals and projects in a manner consistent with the overall objectives of Council and utilizing the resources of the City in the most effective manner possible.

    You may contact me at the address on the left, or you may go to one of the many other city points of contact and outside links. Our goal is to continuously improve the City’s web presence and interactivity to serve your needs better.

    The City of Golden is dedicated to providing the highest level of service to its citizens. This is reflected by the number of citizen compliment cards and letters received daily by the City. Contact with the individual departments is both recommended and encouraged.
