How about offering some grants to assist the elderly/infirm with yard work and debris removal?
Joe DeMott
I can say Wheat Ridge is such a fantastic place to live and work and even the city employees do such a great job of just naturally being great people that this would be wasted money. Don’t change, we love you.
Pam Sedillo
Absolutely insane. Absolutely insane!
Chris Billington
Wait… so these programs exist, yet we need to spend $100K to hire someone to audit them? Just feel like spending money, eh?
Lukasz Kozlowski
Shouldn’t you guys be doing that already internally? Why do tax payers need to spend $100k?
Glenn Allen
This is a great waste of $100,000! Keep it up! You will catch up with California in no time! SPENDING MONEY THATS NOT YOURS. How about road repair or something useful that will benefit the masses.

Yet they want to raise our taxes for a pool when $100,000 would go a long way….FOR A NEW POOL. They’re all insane and handling our money.
Scott Ohm (City Council)
Added he had talked to four people, three in favor of the audit and one opposed.
“That tells me this is not a hot button issue versus a really defined issue, like homelessness,” he said. “I’m just not comfortable spending $96,000 to find out if we have problems when we have really defined problems to address we know could help the community.”
Pat Quinn (City Council)
Said he listened to citizen comments counter to his personal support of the audit.
“The voices of those folks who don’t believe this is a good expense at this time need to be heard to be fair and equitable,” he stated. “We’re also doing this at a time when we’re going to be going to the polls to ask for some major expenditures in the near future.”
Quinn said he supports the audit but opposes the cost involved.
“I’ve had several district citizens tell me they are very apprehensive about spending almost $100,000 out of the city’s reserve fund,” he stated. “I think this is something that would be more acceptable if we budgeted for it” in 2027.
Dan Larson (City Council)
Called the move “not an appropriate use of city funds.” “I think we can accomplish what we need through a voluntary task force instead of mandatory compliance training,” he noted.
