as a Councilwoman. She has served on the Parks and Recreation Advisory 
Board, Commerce City Youth Commission, the Commerce City Cultural 
Council and the Northern Community Coalition among many others. 
Additionally she along with members of the Commerce City Council 
identified more than $1 billion in capital improvements ranging from 
parks to roads that would be necessary over the next 25 years to meet 
the needs of a growing community. The work that Councilwoman Carson and 
other members of the Council put into this project was tremendous. The 
adoption of a five-year plan, which is a sustainable way to implement 
needed investments and provide budget certainty and predictability was 
thoughtful and will help improve the City of Commerce City for years to 
come. I admire the dedication and tireless efforts that Councilwoman 
Carson has put into her City during her tenure as a Councilwoman.
  I extend my deepest thanks to Jadie Carson for her service to the 
community. Thank you for your continuous dedication to serving the 
constituents of Commerce City, Colorado.
