Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a City of Golden program, service, or activity, should contact the office of Anne Beierle, ADA Coordinator, at abeierle@cityofgolden.net as soon as possible but no later than 48 hours before the scheduled event.
