Northglenn honors Leslie Carrico and Andy Hall for dedicated community service

During the recent Northglenn City Council meeting, significant discussions highlighted the dedication of local public works and community members, showcasing their contributions to the city’s development and well-being.

A key focus was the introduction of the Public Works CARES initiative, which emphasizes core values such as communication, adaptability, respect, efficiency, and safety. This program aims to enhance collaboration and customer service within the public works department, ensuring that the community receives the highest quality of service. Residents are encouraged to engage with public works during the upcoming Public Works Week, which includes an open house at the water treatment plant on May 22. Attendees will have the opportunity to tour the facility, interact with equipment, and enjoy food from a local food truck.

The meeting also celebrated the achievements of community members who have made significant contributions to Northglenn. Leslie Carrico received a dedicated service award for her extensive involvement with the Northglenn Urban Renewal Authority and various community organizations. Carrico expressed her passion for community service, particularly through the Northglenn Community Foundation, which supports local families and individuals in need.

Additionally, Andy Hall was recognized for his service on the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. Hall played a vital role in projects such as the design of the new recreation center and the innovative use of goats for fire mitigation at the Oscar Arnold Nature Area. His enthusiasm for community engagement was evident as he shared fond memories of his time on the board.

These recognitions reflect the city’s commitment to honoring those who contribute to its growth and the well-being of its residents. The council's discussions and celebrations underscore the importance of community involvement in shaping a vibrant and supportive environment in Northglenn.
