Tonight's Study Session Topics:
- Clear Creek Whitewater Park Managment, 2025
The Deputy City Manager will give the annual report on the City's crowd control efforts on Clear Creek. They saw "a noticeable increase in water rescues" this year, some of them performed by the outside firms who provide swiftwater rescue training classes in Clear Creek. They plan to provide more warning signs near Vanover Park next year, including both English and Spanish, as well as international "DANGER" symbols. They have had mixed success with the RFID (radio) tags that they have been using to track creek users, and will continue to place more emphasis on the facial recognition cameras that line the creek. The School of Mines did a study a few years ago that showed negative effects on water quality and wildlife habitat in the section of creek that runs through Golden. The report mentions that the city continues to monitor the aquatic ecosystems, but does not provide the results. The City provides significant funding and staffing throughout the season to make the Whitewater Park safe and clean. Learn more.
- Request for Funding from the (Future) Affordable Housing Trust Fund
Calvary Church and Habitat for Humanity plan to demolish a stone house at 817 14th Street (map). In its place they plan to build 40 affordable housing units. The target market is households earning 100% of the area median income ($98K for a single person and $140K for a household of four). The City expects to receive $3.15 million from CoorsTek as a condition of their receiving a Certificate of Occupancy for their new headquarters building. Habitat for Humanity has requested that the entire $3.15 million be allocated to this project. Staff recommends retaining some of the fund for additional affordable housing projects. Learn more.
At the conclusion of the Study Session, Council will pause for dinner. The Business Meeting will begin at 6:30.
