Northglenn City Council Plans July Agenda and Reviews Budget Strategy

The Northglenn City Council meeting on July 14, 2025, focused on several key topics, including quarterly agenda planning and updates on city projects. The meeting began with a unanimous vote by the Marijuana Licensing Authority, which was quickly followed by a reconvening of the regular city council meeting.

City Manager Geier presented the quarterly agenda, highlighting upcoming meetings and discussions scheduled through October. Notable items include a special executive session on July 21 to discuss the Washington Point redevelopment and a housing study presentation. Budget discussions are set for August 4 and August 18, with a focus on addressing decreased revenue and potential strategies for the 2026 budget.

Council members discussed the need for clarity on various city projects, including traffic calming measures and street lighting improvements. Council Member Jaramillo emphasized the importance of addressing safety concerns in school zones and the need for better street lighting in Ward 2. City Manager Geier acknowledged the ongoing challenges with staffing in the engineering department, which has affected project timelines.

The council also addressed vacancies on boards and commissions, with Council Member Goff suggesting that providing information on open positions at ward meetings could encourage resident participation. Ian Miller, a resident of Ward 1, expressed interest in joining the Citizens Affairs Board during the public comment section.

As the meeting concluded, the council voted unanimously to enter an executive session for a performance check-in regarding the city manager. The discussions and decisions made during this meeting will shape the city's agenda and priorities in the coming months.
