Michael Stricker, the city’s arts, culture and community manager and director of the Northglenn Arts and Humanities Foundation (NAHF), told council that more than 41,000 people attended Northland Arts programs in 2024, with 6,100 attending Northglenn Arts Presents touring shows (a 30% increase from 2023) and 858 youth participating in NYT Academy classes. The foundation reported contributing over $331,000 to Northland Arts programs in 2024 and said the foundation earned $516,000 in ticket sales, registrations and theater rental income that year — a 21% increase from 2023.

Stricker said the NAHF received multiple funding sources last year, including a $163,500 SCFD (Scientific and Cultural Facilities District) award, TourWest and corporate sponsorships, individual donations, and investment income. The NAHF used those funds for production costs, public art purchases and maintenance, and to support theater contractors and designers; the city pays salaried staff, facility costs and other presenting expenses.

Highlights presented to council included Northglenn Youth Theatre’s 30th anniversary; Missoula Children’s Theatre residencies; the launch of small “studio performances”; the acquisition of two Art on Parade sculptures (including the city’s first purchase from a Northglenn resident, Joseph Cole); expansion of public‑art wayfinding and vinyl wraps; and a first endowment for NYT scholarships established with Denver Broncos sale proceeds and furthered by $34,000 raised at the foundation’s gala, bringing the endowment to more than $80,000.

Stricker said the foundation contracted Stillwell Consulting to create a Northglenn Arts Long Range Plan in 2023, with over 110 action items; 2024 represented year one of that plan, he said. He also noted collaborations with Northland High School, the Colorado Symphony and local nonprofits to broaden programming and outreach, and that the Parsons Theatre hosts many rental groups and local partners.

Council members praised the foundation’s work and asked implementation questions, including Missoula Children’s Theatre residency logistics and how the city and foundation split contributed versus earned revenues. Stricker explained the mechanics: contributed income from grants and donations generally flows through the foundation, while earned revenues such as ticket sales and registrations flow to the city.

Council will consider release of per‑capita funds to the NAHF under the consent agenda. Stricker said staff will continue to advance the long‑range plan, including expanded Spanish marketing, accessible captioning at shows and continued public‑art installations.

Speakers at the presentation included Stricker and several NAHF board members in attendance; council members thanked the foundation and noted the programmatic and economic benefits of the performing arts to Northglenn.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Northglenn City Council Meeting | 3/10/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Northglenn Arts and Humanities Foundation reported higher attendance, new endowment funds for youth scholarships and a $163,500 Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) award for 2024; foundation and city financial roles and program counts were detailed to council.","taxTitle","Northglenn, Adams County, Colorado","taxId",50881,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6288129,"Northglenn council adopts ordinance limiting household pets, offers grandfathering and delayed enforcement",3352,4463000,7815000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2544582-1722116b88b937c8d793c5d2dc5957fa&start=4463&end=7815","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2544582-1722116b88b937c8d793c5d2dc5957fa/thumbnail_4463000.jpg","/articles/6288129/Northglenn/Adams-County/Colorado/Northglenn-council-adopts-ordinance-limiting-household-pets-offers-grandfathering-and-delayed-enforcement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6288129-635dda988c794b9a422485962cae4fc2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771161605&Signature=jh7PM6jNevrEUg75XlxhSUYtnPD0Ap7xRJ-qw7nZvoUOvf1UJgONeXT6dPSf4~IASRuwWjddvNGgxiyMxun5sz7vdtlRA3u3P7GdcZrlsfShAFO0T11IAZVvJnP6ZzMJWmRSVSU7ZXcgbssZq1B6EjbO702A2tm5TzAM~gLcqAslHsbx6qkadjFF5D1wO5P2kk-xoU0aC4VKKrM6g1ssAlCO2g2OdHP7tnjFvIMXBiCWNkivE0qJxPj0pWTju4MByINaNrZOlRPUFR98~NQ0jXW4ZQFjhGbnXzuyzWZNOUYCIyW2o5dfKJ9HwzQB8ARlH2hd3nOGaFNfJUMB0fzGbw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Northglenn City Council on March 10 adopted CB20‑26, an ordinance that limits the number of household cats and dogs at a single address to four and establishes a process for residents who already exceed that limit to register those pets.

The vote followed a public hearing in which multiple residents urged council either to reject a cap entirely or to raise the limit to six. Police Chief Jim May summarized proposed changes before the vote, saying the ordinance would include a “previously owned” exception for households that already have more than four animals and that the city would not begin enforcement until Aug. 1, 2025 to allow for outreach and registration.

The ordinance’s backers said the measure adds a tool for officials to address extreme cases while preserving protections for responsible owners. Opponents told council during public comment that limits risk pet abandonment, would not address nuisance behavior such as barking or failure to pick up waste, and can unfairly impact multigenerational or multifamily households.

Council members asked how enforcement would work. Chief May said enforcement will be complaint‑driven in most cases: officers respond to complaints about smell, barking or visible animal welfare problems and document conditions for court review. The ordinance does not override existing code provisions on noise, public nuisance or animal welfare; an exemption does not protect an owner from action if an animal’s care or safety is at issue. The city attorney also said federal protections such as the Fair Housing Act or ADA accommodations could be considered in specific circumstances.

The ordinance requires residents who qualify for the prior‑owner exemption to submit basic information about each animal — name, age, breed and acquisition date — and places an effective enforcement start of Aug. 1, 2025 to allow time for a communication campaign. Council members discussed but rejected regulatory carve‑outs for temporary living arrangements such as accessory dwelling units or fostering; staff advised such exemptions would be difficult to enforce and recommended a higher overall limit if council wanted broader coverage.

Votes at the meeting showed unanimous council support for second reading of CB20‑26. The ordinance passed with no recorded no votes or abstentions and one member noted as absent during roll call; the city clerk will publish final language and the registration process prior to the August enforcement start date.

The passage follows several months of discussion and a public hearing held the same evening. Council directed staff to include outreach about the exemption, clarify guidance on fostering and litters, and to remind residents that animal‑related complaints continue to be handled under existing noise and hygiene code sections.

Residents who testified against the cap included Rebecca Robinson and representatives from Downing Drive and other nearby addresses; their comments focused on community impacts, enforcement efficacy and the risk of driving animal ownership underground. Chief May said the police department will begin an education and registration campaign if the ordinance is enacted.

Implementation details, including the exemption form and the city’s outreach plan, will be published by municipal staff before the Aug. 1, 2025 enforcement date.","After public comment opposed to limits, Northglenn City Council approved CB20‑26 to cap household pets at four, grant a previous‑owner exemption for existing animals and delay enforcement until Aug. 1, 2025; enforcement will remain complaint‑driven and subject to other nuisance and animal welfare laws.","actionData","errors"]
