During a recent focus session, CCOB Councilmember Heidi Henkel (seen on left) proposed a copycat sanctuary city program called "Welcoming Cities" requesting to spend $12k and a FTE to operate.  Mayor Guyleen Castriotta, took a centrist stance, reminding council they are policy makers, and don't dictate staff levels or request additional staff.  She further states that Council priorities are to our current citizens and our taxpayer base first.

Broomfield citizens, remain vigilant, as the Council voted to move this issue from Focus session into a Study session.  The vote happened prior to public comment.  This Welcoming City proposal is still active, regardless of this comment and dozens of other from many citizens.  Heidi Henkel continues to share information in support of her proposal.
