Facing higher-than-expected construction costs, city staff will begin to explore alternative solutions to the Heart of Golden Phase 1 project scope for new municipal facilities. As City staff consider the next steps on the project, we are seeking your engagement.

Join us on Tuesday, August 15, at 5:30 p.m. in Council Chambers for a project update and community discussion to share new ideas and reassess ways to move forward with important facility improvements.

If you cannot attend the meeting in person, you can still be involved by reviewing the presentation and contributing to the discussion. Feedback opportunities will be posted to GuidingGolden.com the day of the meeting, and will be open through August 31.

City Council will be briefed on the community meeting at their September 12 Council Meeting.

The Citizens Budget Advisory Committee (CBAC) was created by the City Manager to advise city staff on the development, implementation, and evaluation of the annual city budget. Participation in CBAC is an opportunity not only to advise on the prioritization of how city tax dollars are spent, but also to advise our policymakers in their decision-making process.

CBAC meets the third Wednesday of each month, March through October and the second Wednesday of November, at 7:30 a.m.

Planning Commission meets on the first and third Wednesday of each month, unless otherwise noted on the calendar.
