The last two and one-half years have been quite eventful for the City of Wheat Ridge. Starting with the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, City Council and staff pivoted through social injustice concerns, the “Great Resignation”, a police officer involved shooting, a seriously wounded police officer, employee deaths and illnesses, unprecedented homelessness issues, record growth in commercial and residential development, and a ransomware attack. In spite of all these unique challenges, the organization has continued to advance City Council initiatives and priorities. The following summary is an update on some of these major items. City Council agendas have been lighter than normal recently and several meetings have been canceled. However, the organizations plate is full, and progress is continuing to be made on important projects.
