City Clerk Small noted for the record that several written communications intended for public comment were received and forwarded to council before the meeting. The clerk read the names on those submissions as Carol Cimino, Christine Bransasquez, Valerie Sorter, Ollie Glessner, D.C. Coulon and a letter from Autumn Romero. The council did not take action on those written communications during open session; they were provided to members for consideration.

Following public comment, the council approved the consent agenda by unanimous vote and later moved into interviews and other agenda items.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Northglenn City Council Meeting | 2/10/2025","oneSentenceSummary","During public comment at the Feb. 10, 2025 Northglenn City Council meeting, resident Melissa Ryan thanked the council for no-trespassing signs in her alley and for redirecting some city funds to support Adams County events.

After the interviews, council members voted unanimously to enter executive session to review applications for an appointive position, negotiate a contract and consider personnel matters related to council appointee evaluations.

The interviews lasted up to 45 minutes per candidate and used a 13-question evaluation form provided by staff. Brian Bowen introduced himself as the presiding judge for the Commerce City municipal court and described decades of experience in Colorado courts and programs he helped start, including a veterans treatment court. Bowen said, \"I'm currently the presiding judge, for the municipal court for the City Of Commerce City,\" and described using virtual hearings, paperless case management and LanguageLine video interpreting to improve access and efficiency.

A second candidate, identified in the record as \"Vickie\" (last name not provided in the public transcript), told council she had spoken with current local judicial staff and other municipal court personnel about Northglenn's docket and programs. She said she \"has wanted to be a judge and have now been a judge, for a while,\" and emphasized a trauma-informed, community-focused approach that prioritizes explaining rights and resources to people who appear in court.

The third candidate, listed in the transcript as \"Mister Cook,\" described long experience in municipal court practice and training judges. Cook summarized his approach in three words — \"respect, integrity, and outcome\" — and told council, \"I am very familiar with the law,\" noting prior work setting up training programs and handling nuisance and code-enforcement dockets.

Council members asked each candidate about juvenile cases, nuisance and code enforcement, traffic dockets, use of technology and virtual hearings, strategies to reduce failures to appear, and the balance between rehabilitation and penalties. Candidates described a mix of strategies used elsewhere: using probation and specialty dockets for higher-risk cases, prioritizing swift resolution for low-risk juvenile matters, offering remote appearances and prepopulated electronic forms to streamline courtroom processes, and coordinating with community service providers for court-based treatment or support referrals.

After completing the public portion of the interviews, the council unanimously approved a motion to meet in executive session. The motion invoked the City of Northglenn Home Rule Charter, citing review of appointive applications (sec. 4.5(b)), negotiations concerning contracts (sec. 4.5(g)), and personnel matters regarding council appointee evaluations (sec. 4.5(a)). The council closed the vote on that motion with a unanimous roll call.

Votes at a glance: The meeting recorded two formal outcomes. The consent agenda passed unanimously. Later, the council voted unanimously to go into executive session citing the Home Rule Charter sections above; the executive session was described on the record as applying to the municipal judge appointment and related contract and personnel matters. The council did not announce any appointment during the open session; deliberation and potential appointment were moved to the executive session.","Northglenn City Council on Feb. 10, 2025, conducted interviews with three candidates for municipal judge and then voted unanimously to go into executive session to review applications, negotiate a contract and discuss personnel evaluations.","actionData","errors"]
