Dear Friends and Residents of Ward 2:

As a past Golden City Councilor and resident of Ward 2, I know first hand how important it is to have responsible representation. You need someone who will listen to your concerns, make sound decisions and do what’s “right” for Golden. While in office, I worked hard to find a good balance between preserving our small town feel and still make room for economic growth. I can tell you it’s not always the easiest thing to get divergent interests to come together for the common good. That’s where experience comes in.

Joe Behm is the candidate I support for Ward 2. He’s the only candidate who has the experience to deal with our biggest issue—the beltway. He’s also the only candidate who has demonstrated leadership by serving on the Economic Development Commission and the Golden Urban Renewal Authority. EDComm and GURA have not always been popular with certain people in Golden, but through his service, Joe has worked hard to improve the vitality and livability of our downtown. He’s also the candidate who, in my opinion, will preserve and protect the Golden we all love. Preservation should not be stagnation, but rather a nurturing of appropriate business and residential development.

In Hawaii, Aloha is both hello and goodbye. It is also a way of living. To “live Aloha” is to strive for the good of all, to be open and honest and to do the right thing. I believe Joe Behm will live Aloha in Golden.

April 25th is an important day for Golden. Use your voice and vote for Joe Behm. He will be the most reasonable and effective Councilor for you and your Ward 2 neighbors. I encourage you to request an absentee ballot if you are not going to be able to vote at Fire Station #4, off of Heritage Road, on April 25th.

Mahaho (thanks) and Aloha –

Golden offers free sprinkler inspection to residents

The City of Golden has teamed up with the Center for ReSource Conservation to offer citizens free sprinkler inspections in an effort to “Slow the Flow” and conserve water by getting the right amount of water in the right place at the right time.

Also called an “irrigation audit,” the inspection is a series of tests performed on a home’s sprinkler system that determine its efficiency. The tests check the application rate, uniformity of application and pressure of the sprinkler system, as well as the soil type and root depth of the grass to determine how the efficiency of the system can be improved upon and to develop the most appropriate watering schedule for the landscape. A visual inspection of the system is also conducted to pinpoint any flaws or repairs that need to be addressed.

The entire process takes about two hours for residential sites. Commercial sites and Home Owner Associations may also be able to participate, and should call for more information.

Why get a sprinkler inspection? There are lots of great reasons to participate, including to:

· Save money on your water bill;
· Improve the appearance of your landscape;
· Increase efficiency of water usage;
· Receive a customized watering schedule;
· Maximize the life-span and effectiveness of your sprinkler system; and,
· Help conserve one of Colorado’s most precious resources.
The program, now in its third year in Golden. is totally free to citizens as it is funded by grants and the City.

If you receive water from the City of Golden and have an underground irrigation system that waters turf (sprinkler system in your yard), you are eligible. The service is available from the beginning of June through the beginning of August. Citizens are encouraged to call and schedule their appointment as soon as possible. To schedule your free appointment, contact the Center for ReSource Conservation at 303-441-3278
