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.

The Golden Planning Commission affords residents the opportunity to actively participate in the planning of the city and its welfare; to learn all facets of the regulations governing such functions; interact with a wide variety of citizens participating in the shaping of Golden’s future; and assume an active role in any regulation changes involving zoning and subdivision activity.

Planning Commission meets on the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m., unless otherwise noted on the calendar.
