House said CREW accepts referrals from Northglenn Police Department, neighborhood services, municipal court and residents, and that the figures in her report covered new clients from Jan. 1 through April 15, 2025. The unit reported 215 new clients and 438 total unique individuals served in that period. CREW provides crisis intervention (therapeutic and stabilization referrals), homeless navigation and a targeted violence prevention program that coordinates threat assessments and care across jurisdictions.

House described case outcomes: a crisis‑intervention case that connected a person experiencing active hallucinations to an appropriate behavioral health hospital without incident; a long‑term homeless client who maintained sobriety after placement and supportive services; and the unit’s role in forming the North Metro Threat Assessment Group, which meets monthly and includes police partners from Northglenn, Thornton, Westminster, Commerce City and Brighton, Adams County Sheriff’s Office, FBI threat‑assessment staff, Community Reach Center and three school districts.

House reported operational and financial updates: CREW used an opioid settlement grant to place clients in residential treatment and sober‑living programs and secured an Adams County Public Health grant for $418,630 to fund two CREW positions and a secure transport vehicle (vehicle purchased; outfitting pending). CREW also obtained a regional transportation grant for bus passes. House said hiring has been challenging but that interviews were scheduled. She reported program budget compliance through April and noted that monthly CREW reports are available online.

Council members commended the program and asked substantive questions. Council member Nowicki praised the inclusion of taxpayer savings estimates tied to housing placements (citing Colorado Coalition for the Homeless figures used by staff). Council member Kondo asked about partner funding stability; House said statewide Behavioral Health Administration funding shifts have forced some jurisdictions to change co‑response models but noted Northglenn’s internal model retains more local sustainability. Several council members asked how the new West Pines behavioral health hospital might support direct admissions; House said direct admits to a behavioral health hospital bypass the emergency department and can speed access to specialized care.

House closed by noting CREW’s unique role in the county as an integrated co‑response and homeless navigation team and by thanking council for ongoing support; there was no formal council action on the presentation.","CREW program manager Jessica House told council the crisis response unit handled hundreds of unique clients in early 2025, helped place several people into housing, expanded a countywide threat assessment group, and secured grants to support co‑response capacity and transportation vouchers.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6570378,"Council favors flex/light industrial mix with solar options for Section 36 subarea",3209,1729000,4938000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3195393-d7a6d5a4f46974f60346809da9b0e4ed&start=1729&end=4938","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3195393-d7a6d5a4f46974f60346809da9b0e4ed/thumbnail_1729000.jpg","/articles/6570378/Northglenn/Adams-County/Colorado/Council-favors-flexlight-industrial-mix-with-solar-options-for-Section-36-subarea","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6570378-e24cc33f6d74d224e34718456f8545c7/orig.mp4?Expires=1770890253&Signature=fDbwhYRZtrQv-K6qZ0FOUhGAyxcdh8a6aD1MEWcijG-JuQBFpaT2KbV0ypDAtbiaW9HdkBriF87uKvvdEdULvSqgu9VMRhuTxRShAJA81w8s5JKiuKQ~SOPpece6OYjD9HhQkFpH8WW72hUpbcsHxs-pfkQZ~OcR0WNdJZO6wweMyu9eK0ev3lDqbhAQ41fZ-GgWfvdKYOC376LxodaCkwyZbDBnPjapW8Fuh4q-huF9OTWqh7ytptHCC7OCSnEKhVL4mjv3IHOojgyrCNfNbdCHEB4Ihy3JvPckykkNdcMKVwMvEOmKT-SFVMSTT4Hxg5LUM3ngNt3fdmwyZaRRjw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Planning manager Becky Smith and consultant Blake Young of Kimley Horn updated the council on the Section 36 subarea plan on May 5, presenting two land‑use concepts and asking for council feedback on vision goals and potential sustainability measures.

Blake Young summarized the project timeline and constraints, telling council the plan grew from the Northglenn 20‑year comprehensive plan and aims to guide redevelopment, improve connectivity and encourage sustainable economic development in the area north of Thornton and east of Broomfield. He described environmental and regulatory constraints including a regulatory floodway, a wastewater force main, and oil-and‑gas setbacks on the Anadarko property; Young noted Colorado’s 2,000‑foot setback for residential uses and that the site currently has a development agreement limiting residential proposals.

Two concepts were shown. Concept 1 emphasizes a mix of flex industrial and light industrial (about 294 acres light industrial and 57 acres flex industrial in one configuration) with distributed rooftop and carport solar on buildings. Concept 2 shifts more land to light industrial and reserves a discrete parcel for a ground‑mounted solar field. Young said both concepts propose a new north–south right‑of‑way connection to Colorado Boulevard and multiple access points along 160th Avenue.

Council members asked detailed operational and feasibility questions. Council member Nowicki raised odor and land‑use conflicts near the wastewater treatment plant and asked about the decommissioning schedule for ponds; staff said pond decommissioning is on the city’s CIP with a target around 2030 and that removing ponds would mitigate a majority of odor impacts. Director Svoboda and staff said the city will disclose proximity to the wastewater facility to developers and that an existing development agreement already limits residential uses.

Members pressed on utilities and energy. Young said data centers were considered but raised United Power capacity limits; he said rooftop solar and solar carports dispersed across new buildings could supply meaningful local generation. Council and staff discussed options for the decommissioned pond area: the city could lease land to a solar developer, sell power back to United Power, or build a city‑run array to offset wastewater energy consumption. Director Svoboda said the plant’s annual energy cost is roughly $450,000 and that feasibility would require a detailed economic analysis.

On transportation and access, council members asked about 160th Avenue widening for heavy trucks; staff replied that widening would require partnership with Thornton and developers. Stakeholder engagement to date has included North Metro Fire Rescue District, United Power, Thornton and adjacent jurisdictions; staff said they canceled a larger open house to run more flexible pop‑up events over the summer to boost turnout.

Council members expressed a clear preference. Multiple members (Burns, Nowicki, Roper, Kondo and others) indicated support for Concept 1’s flex/light industrial mix while directing staff to continue exploring rooftop solar, a solar garden/lease option and city solar to serve the wastewater plant. Staff said it would return with a refined “Goldilocks” concept incorporating council feedback and more detailed feasibility information.

No formal vote was taken at the study session; the item was guidance for subsequent plan refinement and public engagement.","City planning staff and consultant Kimley Horn presented two land‑use concepts for the Section 36 subarea; council members generally favored Concept 1 (flex + light industrial) with options to include rooftop/leased solar and to use decommissioned ponds for city solar tied to wastewater operations.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6570379,"Safe House Denver urges Northglenn to build protective services around new Adams County Family Justice Center",1600,117000,1717000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3195393-d7a6d5a4f46974f60346809da9b0e4ed&start=117&end=1717","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3195393-d7a6d5a4f46974f60346809da9b0e4ed/thumbnail_117000.jpg","/articles/6570379/Northglenn/Adams-County/Colorado/Safe-House-Denver-urges-Northglenn-to-build-protective-services-around-new-Adams-County-Family-Justice-Center","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6570379-74e90a2ec1fda93d03de31a9eecea5a0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770890253&Signature=iscldUlSJs6eW97jRDMtPRVv8MaNxkNNMlT6V57XpHdPSVgazM2t0MP6KKriWrwf6OT20nA3V6u9rGTFBJKmz6ZMw1ESvXMNYhXSLdYFLuyCFNknRVRBY8MGpBzJIFuA6N3-s7mm7nZqN0lVGQZ98okX3Hixm2QND6o7dPiuEcylypJr-InrmouAhKXYlsnmAMNF5lF0WrBHrPtSXtt65mcUZG4aEkLQBD2B2RL~w5izmzLEwXU62I-UJxjGzPqffxzhpajMzFQYN6MS8MY7Y0-SNdMhwT1T61vTbBBYQcwvxKovhcQuR3VrzkT2JxmSLu634RLEdeNteaiDKoJqzA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Natasha Adler, director of survivor services for Safe House Denver, told the Northglenn City Council on May 5 that domestic violence is typically a pattern of behavior and that coordinated, multi‑agency response through a Family Justice Center can reduce harm and lower barriers to safety.

Adler opened by defining domestic violence as “a pattern of behaviors over time that involve intimate partners, either current partners or past partners,” and described how abuse can be both overt and subtle. She cited Colorado crime statistics showing Northglenn had “about 50 to 200 cases per year in the past five years,” Thornton roughly 800 per year and Adams County about 200–300 per year, while Denver reports several thousand cases. Adler said strangulation, the presence of firearms, stalking, prior reported domestic violence and recent or pending separation substantially raise lethality risk.

The Family Justice Center model Adler described places multiple agencies under one roof so survivors can get a protection order, counseling, housing assistance and legal help without retelling their trauma at multiple offices. “You walk into the building, and there are dozens of organizations…you can hit all of them,” she said, arguing that co‑located services reduce retraumatization and improve access for people with limited transportation or other barriers.

Council members asked about operational details and local readiness. Council member Kondo asked whether Northglenn police receive strangulation training; a deputy chief responded that officers are trained and that a domestic violence case review process in Adams County has included strangulation screening for about two to three years. Adler also noted the Alliance for Hope provides an intensive four‑day strangulation training for law enforcement and partners.

Council members and staff raised transportation and shelter gaps. Adler said transportation is a recurring barrier in Denver and likely in Adams County; she recommended planning for accessible transport and community‑level victim compensation to cover urgent needs (for example, car repairs or short‑term housing costs). Several council members and Adler noted Adams County currently lacks domestic‑violence‑specific shelters besides more distant options such as Gateway.

Adler outlined common barriers survivors face: financial control, isolation, disability or injury, immigration status, fear for children and pets, and gaps in benefits eligibility when tax filing or insurance ties complicate access to resources. She described protective factors the Family Justice Center can support—stable housing, coordinated service navigation, peer groups and legal advocacy—and said those measures help prevent repeated victimization and homicide.

Council members thanked Adler and signaled support for the Adams County Family Justice Center effort and for considering local supports such as transportation partnerships, community victim compensation and expanded local domestic‑violence services. Adler provided her agency contact information for follow‑up and community coordination.

The presentation and Q&A were part of the city’s study session; no formal action or vote was taken by the council on this item.","Safe House Denver director Natasha Adler briefed Northglenn City Council on domestic violence dynamics, local incident counts and how a Family Justice Center in Adams County could deliver coordinated services and reduce harm for survivors.","actionData","errors"]
