Separately, during a legislative update staff reported that Colorado Municipal League asked member cities to consider asking the governor to veto House Bill 1147 (identified in the meeting as HB1147 or “11‑47”), described by staff as a bill that would constrain some local sentencing and municipal court flexibility. Council members indicated support and asked staff to prepare and send a letter requesting a gubernatorial veto; staff offered to prepare the draft letter for the mayor’s signature.

What the council did

- Executive session: The council voted to enter executive session pursuant to Colorado law to “determine positions relative to matters that may be subject to negotiations, develop strategy for negotiations, and instruct negotiators regarding collective bargaining negotiations between the City and the Fraternal Order of Police, Thornton Police Department, Colorado Lodge 16.” The motion passed by voice vote; council moved into executive session and invited negotiated staff to proceed.

- Legislative direction: Council members voiced agreement to have staff prepare a veto request letter to the governor opposing HB1147 and to have the municipal association’s advocacy supported by Thornton’s municipal leadership.

Ending: Staff said they would prepare the veto letter for council review and would proceed with confidential negotiations in executive session.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Thornton City Council Planning Session - April 15, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The council voted to go into an executive session to discuss collective bargaining with the Thornton police union and agreed by consensus to ask staff to prepare a letter requesting that the governor veto House Bill 1147 (fairness/transparency in municipal court).","taxTitle","Thornton City, Adams County, Colorado","taxId",5596,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6595802,"Thornton reviews homelessness services and warming‑center operations as encampments and cleanups rise",1833,6195430,8029170,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3024400-2788e2b9bba74b9091d25d3cdb7c5da5&start=6195&end=8029","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3024400-2788e2b9bba74b9091d25d3cdb7c5da5/thumbnail_6195430.jpg","/articles/6595802/Thornton-City/Adams-County/Colorado/Thornton-reviews-homelessness-services-and-warmingcenter-operations-as-encampments-and-cleanups-rise","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6595802-6731301249d6af1936de8086f52adab6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771172825&Signature=lgaPtMzPDAbVzuRMCJ5YTPiP5KKeX3TXAa28EyrFmIe2frgbuL71iySK80q3IV~ZjlghFZL4WiWCTPZvECpKaXFp4j2iifnR2Q5KjN8VZ66j~gUxREu7mAvn5wjxETzLCTDgTB8XjV5LFlKcNPcrF6iBBugCqCvtc0ZpuNdh4Szm6xF0Pw08GWI9WJqqT4kt6cASBGccGxX-v2o6ZH3a~w~fRo9vQeWfX9UgXIIbJ-jp9jL7ABG0sR3jEq2eTQZTbZDvbFRAAUDgpRJ5~f5JOMntYtrsvTvgYCVlFLAEW~CHynLLOsUKJgahfc5cwQfmIxJaIeEArx~sAFI5ibWSkQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A multi‑department team presented Thornton council with a detailed review of city homelessness services, warming‑center operations and encampment response, and asked the council whether staff should prioritize outreach, case management, prevention, enforcement or regional coordination in follow‑up policy work.

Services and staffing

- Homeless outreach (HOT): Jalen Stuttler, deputy director of Parks, Recreation and Community Programs, said Thornton’s Homeless Outreach Team started in 2021 with 1.5 full‑time staff and has expanded to four full‑time outreach workers. The HOT team operates a hotline weekdays, provides walk‑in hours at Community Connections, offers individualized case management and runs a monthly “Empowerment Expo” that brings community and nonprofit service tables to a central location.

- Warming center operations: Emergency manager Ryan Doyle summarized the city’s winter activation tiers. The city opened a warming center in Mark Carpenter Recreation Center’s lobby and uses a mix of hotel vouchers and the warming space depending on forecasted temperatures. Staff said the warming center model requires modest staffing (three staff plus a security guard) and that the city distributed hotel vouchers to 32 individuals during the winter season, while the warming center served 127 people over nine activations and 23 nights.

- Encampment cleanup and code enforcement: Code compliance staff reported a marked rise in cleanups and contractor abatement costs: the city cited a significant increase in the number of public encampments and associated contractor cleanups and noted a roughly $230,000 abatement cost in the prior year (majority on city property), with increases attributed to contractor and hazardous‑materials handling costs.

Regional context and legal background

- County and metro services: Staff summarized Adams County and Denver‑metro services — including county vouchers, motel assistance and nonprofit shelter and prevention services — and noted that some services (e.g., congregate shelters and domestic‑violence shelters) remain concentrated in Denver metro, creating a regional service gap in the North Metro area.

- Legal backdrop: Deputy City Attorney Adam Stevens summarized court precedent affecting local camping enforcement. He referenced Martin v. Boise (9th Circuit litigation) as the past authority that constrained enforcement and cited the more recent higher court decision discussed in the meeting as changing legal latitude for municipal regulation. Staff advised that adoption of any camping‑ban policy would be a council policy decision with practical enforcement and intergovernmental coordination implications.

Policy questions and next steps

Staff asked the council whether to prioritize: (a) expanded prevention and housing supports; (b) enhanced outreach and case management capacity; (c) reexamination of the warming‑center model and its site(s); (d) policy direction on camping or park hour rules; or (e) increased regional coordination, including asking Adams County for a fuller presentation of its capacity and plans.

Council discussion

Council members asked for more data about county capacities, the costs to the city of warming center operations (staffing and vouchers), trends in calls for police service at the recreation center and examples of peer programs (for instance, safe‑parking initiatives elsewhere in Colorado). Multiple councilmembers asked staff to return with more detail and suggested a future focused meeting or an ad‑hoc council committee to examine regional coordination, legal options, and whether to expand outreach and case‑management capacity prior to any criminalization‑style approach.

Ending: Staff said they will compile follow‑up materials — county program details, utilization and capacity figures, shelter options in the region, and program models such as safe‑parking — and will return to council for further policy direction.","City staff, police and emergency management briefed council on homelessness outreach (HOT), warming‑center activations, encampment cleanup volume and legal context.

Why it matters: Washington Street and nearby commercial corridors are a focus for redevelopment because they host many businesses and jobs; staff told council the largest single cost in the five‑year plan is right‑of‑way infrastructure work to improve sidewalks, ADA ramps, pedestrian crossings and intersection safety.

Main points

- Infrastructure and schedule: Public works staff said design for Washington Street (80th to Eppinger/104th) will begin in 2025 (roughly $900,000 allocated to start design). Construction is planned in bite‑sized segments over the next five years to limit disruption and to coordinate with private redevelopment (for example, redevelopment at Thornton Shopping Center).

- Pedestrian and ADA upgrades: Staff noted the work will include upgraded ADA ramps, accessible pedestrian signals, wider sidewalks, and bike and trail connections. Team members said ramps that are touched during reconstruction will be brought to current standards.

- Commercial exterior grant (pilot): Economic development staff described a targeted grant program to encourage facade, signage and landscaping upgrades in priority corridors. The program’s recommended cap is $50,000 per business with a 1:1 match; the city proposes a first‑round $10,000 seed that would not require a match to encourage early participation. Staff said outreach began in February and the first formal application arrived in the weeks before the meeting.

- Public art: Parks and cultural staff showed designs for median panels and metal cutwork made in partnership with a local fabrication education program. Forty panels are ordered for medians, roundabouts and park sites in the south part of the city; staff said installation is planned for late summer if fabrication and contracting proceed on schedule.

- Residential fence repair pilot: Code staff said a small program ($25,000 pilot) will focus on repairs or partial replacement of wood fences that are code violations and whose owners are not eligible for existing HUD‑linked assistance; the city’s proposal is to provide a 25% reimbursement on completion to leverage private investment and volunteer assistance for smaller repairs.

Council questions and notes

Council members asked which ADA ramps will be upgraded and whether landscaping in private centers will require maintenance standards; staff said landscaping standards will be required if the grant covers plantings. Councilmembers praised collaboration with a local fabrication and training group on public art and asked staff to provide timelines for art repairs and for the status of a separate existing sculpture that residents have reported is unstable.

Budget overview

Staff showed a planning table that places most cost in the right‑of‑way infrastructure envelope (about $14 million in the five‑year outline for Washington Street corridor work). Staff said the five‑year plan will be updated as design progresses and private redevelopment timelines emerge.

Ending: City staff said they will return with design milestones, grant program application guidance and installation schedules for public art, and will continue outreach to businesses in the priority corridors.","City staff updated council on multi‑department work to improve safety, walkability and commercial façades along Washington Street (80th to 104th), plus corridor public art, commercial exterior grants and a pilot fence‑repair program for neighborhoods.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_46":104,"_48":105,"_50":106,"_52":107,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":108,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":109,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6595811,"Thornton staff recommend adopting 2024 building codes and 2023 National Electric Code with local amendments",570,3445600,4016180,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3024400-2788e2b9bba74b9091d25d3cdb7c5da5&start=3445&end=4016","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3024400-2788e2b9bba74b9091d25d3cdb7c5da5/thumbnail_3445600.jpg","/articles/6595811/Thornton-City/Adams-County/Colorado/Thornton-staff-recommend-adopting-2024-building-codes-and-2023-National-Electric-Code-with-local-amendments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6595811-cb2290ef6958198d974ef912e6dacec5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771172825&Signature=cjBZUuWSYueYWRF5~V3IZAFOJYuaagL~kdXVdNzM7iOr5S2R~IlOrM~Pam6aTqeUCFVFkO9LYU6q7ywZPSmVnPix7GrpVFg5HzSktXJFfml9nNU2Cxh-IuxCMVs0st82BFPUFL7co7zAtF5a0YE3E2Z5B95W5ZZkmSsWV9xeSu0mNnnMNifm34WQV~IKHaS3bAA-ZEuwAZKRdJdgjEmzDClA69Is6-5f91vxVnUL7fy8AaVAAe5HvgpiLTdjspkAbrAib0zntaB~GkgTmVGUbkYme0uJTchBnduGgJmKrrlAAcoPsRU4oQZTjQyco0i8~om7EJQ55tpPKF-rRoV21g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City building‑code and fire officials briefed Thornton council on a planned ordinance to adopt updated model codes — the 2024 International Building Code (IBC), the 2023 National Electric Code (NEC) and the International Fire Code — with proposed local amendments designed to reflect regional conditions and state requirements.

Why it matters: The state requires local jurisdictions to adopt updated energy and related model codes; the staff package would also add local amendments intended to clarify enforcement and safety in Thornton buildings.

Key points from staff

- Codes and timing: City staff said they propose adoption on May 13 and an effective date of July 1. The plan also includes automatic concurrent adoption language for the National Electric Code consistent with state timing.

- Energy and electrification provisions: Staff said the state requires adoption of the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code and a model energy “solar‑ready” and “electric‑ready” provision. The proposed local changes would require adequate electrical panels and prewiring for future EV charging and solar in new commercial and residential construction to reduce later retrofit costs.

- Fire code and life‑safety changes: Fire Marshal Stephanie Harper Martin presented requested adoptions and recommended updating to the 2025 NFPA 13 (sprinkler) and 2025 NFPA 72 (alarm) editions alongside the IFC changes. She said the local amendments include emergency responder radio coverage requirements for existing structures, permitting for on‑site trash collection services and hood suppression requirements for additional kitchens or accessory dwelling units with separate kitchens.

- Streamlining code enforcement: Building staff said they have cleaned up legacy local amendments to align the city code more closely with the model code and proposed clarifications that would name property owners as liable parties for code violations and streamline the code‑violation process.

Council questions

Council members asked about grandfathering and transition rules for projects mid‑permitting; staff replied that applications submitted before the July 1 effective date and kept current would remain on the earlier code cycle. A council member asked which nearby jurisdictions had already adopted the new codes; staff said Adams County has and agreed to provide a written confirmation and a list of adjacent adopters.

Next step

Staff said the item will be scheduled for formal adoption on the May 13 council agenda; the effective date under the proposal would be July 1, 2025.

Ending: Staff said they will forward additional details about neighboring jurisdictions’ adoption dates and will return May 13 with the ordinance for council action.","City staff presented proposed adoption of the 2024 International Building Code, 2023 National Electric Code and International Fire Code with local amendments and proposed an effective date of July 1; the council was told the item will return for formal adoption on the May 13 agenda.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_46":116,"_48":117,"_50":118,"_52":119,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":120,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":121,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6595816,"CDOT outlines I‑25 safety upgrades, warns median transit station could cost $50–70 million",3299,35600,3335090,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3024400-2788e2b9bba74b9091d25d3cdb7c5da5&start=35&end=3335","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3024400-2788e2b9bba74b9091d25d3cdb7c5da5/thumbnail_35600.jpg","/articles/6595816/Thornton-City/Adams-County/Colorado/CDOT-outlines-I25-safety-upgrades-warns-median-transit-station-could-cost-5070-million","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6595816-6364930f33b7e72ffcd19412c3c3add4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771172825&Signature=QCGPv-SM0PRZZ9jQLU~K8ztK3XGdnKpe31NmtnvPuXFP~nJgDsSxv0ewVWugq2wGem35dAbVgPJflh~4fvRr7X6GFUA3haUNQwafvr65j5Q56E6A6zgkyLtl6M6Gh0dhKOYly-7ztIL5~lrByFFPrZOxVLLtDLvdGK5n2v3ywWX-zCLBHt~lRKMVWdoenetD-aKN5dc6zodtjYah3SqDEqaz-Pg1GzWDyXzzqOsEJWlxAlTZCetqBSdaPBibsfmuC0pkNUsDZKvvGoD1DNlln0HnOnKGbCje1aMmPGE2D9pLDpQ02w88PX9AGrzOopzSIFR0yMSfc4avinBbv-vRrw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Colorado Department of Transportation staff on Tuesday walked Thornton leaders through the status and schedule for the I‑25 safety and operations project covering US‑36 to 104th Avenue and asked the city to help refine alternatives ahead of a June public meeting and the state’s 10‑year plan update.

CDOT Region 1 transportation director Jessica Micklebust told council staff and RTD are trying “to build the right thing on opening day,” using limited strategic funds while completing environmental review and final design. CDOT currently holds a placeholder of $110 million in strategic funds for the corridor but staff said the full project will likely exceed that amount and will require a mix of state strategic dollars, toll revenue from CTIO, grants and local or developer partnerships.

Why it matters: I‑25 through Thornton carries heavy ramp weaving, increasing crash risk and congestion. CDOT presented alternatives intended to reduce rear‑end and sideswipe crashes, improve traffic flow and preserve transit operations while keeping construction readiness compatible with the department’s fiscal plan.

What CDOT presented

- Corridor segmentation and timeline: CDOT split the corridor into south, center and north segments and said it is in NEPA (environmental review) and design, aiming to finalize technical reports and a draft environmental assessment by September 2025. CDOT targets public engagement in late June and to be construction‑ready in 2027 if funding is available.

- South and north segments: Potential widening, added shoulders and a collector‑distributor (CD) road to separate heavy ramp traffic (notably traffic from I‑270 and US‑36) from mainline flows. CDOT staff said modelling (microsimulation) will guide whether a CD road or climbing lane or both best relieve weaving and maintain speeds.

- Center segment and transit conflict: The corridor’s “center” section around the Thornton Park‑and‑Ride presents the most complex tradeoffs because express buses (Route 120X) now use slip ramps and park‑and‑ride lots that have dropped in utilization (RTD data cited a roughly 90% decline in parking‑lot utilization from historic levels). CDOT said the preferred operational fix would be a median station aligned with the express lane that would avoid buses crossing multiple general‑purpose lanes to reach slip‑ramp stops.

Costs and tradeoffs

CDOT engineers warned that a median station would be expensive and require major bridge work. Staff said the median station alternative would require a longer span at the 80th Avenue bridge and could cost about $50 million to $60 million to construct; modifying the replacement bridge so it did not preclude a future median station would add roughly $20 million or more in early widening and pier offset costs.

Funding and next steps

CDOT emphasized the project will require a mix of strategic (10‑year plan) dollars, CTIO/toll revenue and competitive grants. Micklebust said the department is updating its 10‑year plan (the plan released July, finalized December 2025 timeframe) and needs a defined footprint and cost estimate by mid‑2025 to place the project competitively. CDOT listed key upcoming outreach events: a statewide telephone town hall May 22 and a Region 1 planning meeting June 11, with a project‑specific public meeting targeted for late June or July.

Transit service and RTD

RTD staff said ridership and travel‑pattern changes (remote work, fare structure changes and RTD network changes such as the A‑Line/peaks) have reduced demand at the Thornton Park‑and‑Ride. RTD reported that Route 120X carries a small fraction of its peak historic ridership and said the agency is considering service changes including hybrid routes or starting points at multiple park‑and‑ride lots and better local connections to the A‑Line as alternatives to a large median station. RTD is launching a new comprehensive operations analysis next year to reevaluate network design for the period after 2027.

Council questions and next steps

Council members asked for follow‑up on technical details such as whether proposed Colorado 7 intersection improvements include dedicated turn signals and for confirmation on 104th Avenue redesign elements. CDOT agreed to provide written clarification after consulting its traffic and safety staff. CDOT asked Thornton to engage in upcoming regional outreach: department staff said citizen participation will be important to retain the project’s competitive position in the 10‑year plan.

What remains undecided

The council did not take a vote. The key outstanding policy choice remains whether to proceed with a center median transit station (high cost, high infrastructure impact) or to invest in local transit connections, bridge replacement and other, lower‑cost alternatives that CDOT and RTD said may better match “opening‑day” demand.

Ending: CDOT plans a second public outreach meeting in late June or July and asked Thornton to provide comments for the 10‑year plan update, which will determine when a construction tranche of funds could be available.","CDOT and RTD briefed Thornton council on safety and operations work for I‑25 (US‑36 to 104th Avenue), presenting alternatives, a funding timeline and public outreach dates. The most complex choice is whether to build a median bus station at the Thornton Park‑and‑Ride; CDOT staff said it would substantially increase bridge length and cost.","actionData","errors"]
