A
A
F
We
also
have
a
presentation
from
family
health
division
director,
daphne
mccabe
and
I
believe
her
staff
natasha
stewart
and
then
later
in
the
evening
we
have
some
staff
from
our
environmental
health
division,
including
mr
bill.
Hayes
and
possibly
mr
chris
campbell
do
forgive
president
thomas
and
the
board.
F
A
Okay,
thank
you,
and
so
we
do
have
a
quorum
present,
which
is
at
least
three
board
members.
So
this
regular
board
meeting
on
the
boulder
county
board
of
health
has
been
called
door
to
discretion
of
executive
director.
Camille
rodriguez
notice
of
this
meeting
was
posted
on
the
board
of
health's
website,
as
required
by
law
and
included
the
teleconference
zoom
number
conference
id,
so
the
public
could
participate.
A
Obviously,
we
still
have
the
covert
19
pandemic
ongoing
and
the
need
for
social
distancing
to
comply
with
the
public
health
order.
That's
why
this
meeting
is
being
held,
telephonically,
okay,
so
before
we
get
into
the
agenda,
I
just
want
to
make
a
few
announcements
if
you've
been
a
past
participant
on
the
board
meetings,
you
know
that
we've
had
public
comment
at
the
beginning
and
that
has
included
public
comment
on
the
covet
19
pandemic,
which
is
technically
an
agenda
item.
A
So
we
are
not
going
to
take
public
comment
yet
on
the
on
anything
related
to
the
public
health
orders,
cobit
19
mask,
etc.
Okay,
so
if
there's
anybody
who
has
public
comment
about
something
not
on
the
agenda,
I'm
happy
to
entertain
that
right
now
and
then
I'll
explain
the
process
for
the
rest
of
the
evening.
A
Okay,
that's
what
I
figured
okay.
So
then,
what's
gonna
happen
is
we
are
just
going
to
approve
the
minutes
from
the
last
board
of
health
meeting
in
january
and
then
we're
going
to
go
into
we're
actually
going
to
push
item
three
on
the
agenda
until
after
the
public
health
order,
discussions,
votes
and
and
public
comments.
So
what
will
happen?
Is
staff
will
present
their?
You
know
their
their
updates
and
their
recommendations?
A
Then
we
will
take
public
comment
and
then
we
will
probably
take
a
short
break
and
then
do
the
board
deliberations.
Okay,
so
you
will.
The
public
will
have
an
opportunity
to
provide
comment
before
the
board
deliberates
and
yet
it
will
be
after
the
staff
proposes.
You
know,
provides
us
their
recommendations,
so
hopefully
that
will
you
know,
fine-tune
further
guide,
any
comments
that
we
have
from
the
public
per
the
bylaws
and
you
know
per
the
bylaws
and
the
discretion
of
the
president.
A
A
That
may
you
know,
lessen
the
need
for
extensive
comment
and
then,
when
we
do
go
into
public
comment,
if
somebody
else
has
made
has
made
a
similar
comment
that
that
you
are
planning
to
make,
you
feel
free
to
kind
of
just
say.
I
second
or
I
agree
with
you,
know
the
comments
so
and
so,
and
so
then
that
way
we
can
get
through
as
many
people
as
possible
in
90
minutes.
G
A
So
so
after
we
approve
the
the
minutes
from
the
last
meeting,
I
will
take
probably
a
minute.
Then
we
will
go
into
the
staff
presentations.
I
don't
know
how
long
that
will
take.
Let's
say
that
takes
60
minutes,
because
there
will
be
action
items
for
the
board.
We
will
be
voting
tonight
and
then,
after
the
staff
presentations.
A
If
there's
any
clarifying
questions
from
the
board
members
we'll
do
that.
But
then
we'll
go
into
public
comment.
We
will
not
do
any
board
deliberations
until
after
the
public
comment
period
is
completed
and
then
the
remaining
agenda
items
are
kind
of
more
of
our
just
informational
and
directors
report
type
of
things.
I
J
C
F
Thank
you,
president
thomas
and
members
of
the
board
of
health.
Yes,
I
am
going
to
kick
it
off
if
staff
do
want
to
put
the
powerpoint
up.
That
is
also
fine,
I'm
going
to
sort
of
introduce
and
set
the
table
for
the
board
and
the
public
the
presentation
that
staff
has
put
together
for
us
tonight.
You
know,
as
you
know,
the
omicron
variant
impact
has
lightened
significantly
in
colorado.
F
F
K
Thank
you
I'd
like
to
confirm
that
everyone
can
see
the
slide
that
says
covid
update
on
it.
Is
that
correct?
Yes,
thank
you
good
evening,
everyone
we
will
start
with
a
surveillance
update.
It
will
be
very
short
this
evening
because
we
do
want
to
focus
the
majority
of
our
time
on
really
zoning
in
on
what
we
have
taken
into
consideration
in
providing
recommendations
to
the
board
of
health,
about
potential
shifts
to
our
public
health
orders.
K
K
K
Our
health,
our
health
system
capacity,
is
still
a
bit
taxed,
our
hospitalizations
are
decreasing,
but
we
do
still
have
some
tight
staffing
issues.
Limited
icu
and
medical
surgical
bed
availability
and
about
11
of
our
beds
are
currently
occupied
by
covet
19
patients,
and
we
do
still
have.
We
have
30
pediatric
covered
hospitalizations
last
week,
which
is
down
from
the
previous
week
slightly.
K
K
We
are
happy
that
we
have
now
reached.
70
percent
of
our
total
population
has
had
a
full
course
of
the
vaccine,
and
92
percent
of
our
total
population
has
received
at
least
one
copin
19
vaccine
dose.
That
is
a
wonderful
reassurance
to
our
community
that
we
do
have
significant
protection
in
our
community.
K
And
with
that,
we
will
turn
over
to
the
discussion
on
covid
policy
and
just
to
set
the
stage.
We
just
want
to
remind
the
board
of
health
and
the
public
that
we
do
have
a
strategy,
a
high
level
strategy,
that
we
are
using
to
develop
our
thinking
about
where
we
are
in
this
pandemic
and
how
we
are
able
to
respond
successfully
as
a
community
together
for
the
long
term.
K
L
The
cdc's
recommendations
have
not
changed
and
we
do
not
yet
know
if
or
when
they
will
change.
They
still
recommend
masks
for
all
individuals,
age,
2
and
older
in
public
indoor
spaces.
During
substantial
and
high
transmission,
regardless
of
vaccination
status
for
schools,
the
cdc
recommends
indoor
masking
for
all
students,
staff
and
visitors
to
and
older,
also
regardless
of
vaccination
status
and
regardless
of
transmission
levels,
the
american
academy
of
pediatrics
has
endorsed
both
of
these
recommendations.
L
L
L
The
big
picture
here
is
that
states
with
mass
mandates
for
the
most
part,
are
putting
an
end
date
to
those
mandates.
Although
the
actual
end
date
seems
to
vary
by
state,
there
are
more
states
with
school
requirements
for
masks
than
with
general
or
universal
mass
requirements,
and
generally
states
are
releasing
their
universal
mass
orders
prior
to
releasing
school
orders.
L
L
L
First
masks
will
remain
required
for
unvaccinated
individuals,
age,
11
and
older,
in
jails,
prisons,
community
corrections,
homeless,
shelters,
emergency,
medical
and
other
health
care
services.
The
public
transportation
is
a
reference
to
the
federal
requirements
that
are
still
in
effect,
which
is
mirrored
in
colorado's
order.
So,
regardless
of
the
actions
this
board
takes
in
emergency,
medical
and
other
health
care
services,
and
that
includes
places
like
doctor's
offices,
hospitals,
clinics
masks
remain
required
for
unvaccinated
individuals.
L
There
is
no
expiration
date
sent
for
the
long-term
set
for
the
long-term
care
facility
order.
The
mask
requirement
for
the
unvaccinated
individuals
in
those
specific
settings
has
been
renewed
every
30
days,
approximately
12
times
so
far.
It
is
up
for
renewal
or
for
not
renewal.
On
march
1st,
we
don't
yet
know
what
the
state
will
do
next
slide
at
the
federal
level
there
are
st.
There
are
several
requirements
that
will
affect
us
here
in
boulder
county
and
continue
to
affect
us.
L
First
masks
are
still
required
in
head
start
programs
for
all
individuals,
aged
2
and
older.
We
do
have
several
of
those
programs
here
in
boulder
county.
Those
are
early
childhood
education,
centers
masks
are
still
required
by
federal
law
on
school
buses
for
all
individuals,
age,
two
and
older.
I
do
not
know,
or
rather
that
we're
not
yet
aware
of
what
the
end
date
is
for
either
of
those
two
requirements.
L
Masks
are
also
still
required
by
the
cdc
on
all
public
conveyances
that
includes
ride,
shares
and
public
buses.
We
do
not
yet
have
an
end
date
for
that
order.
The
transportation
security
administration
has
provided
at
least
a
renewal
date
for
their
order
for
airplanes
and
airports,
and
that
is
march
18th
2022.
L
Next
slide
before
I
turn
this
back
over
to
lexi.
I
just
want
to
highlight
the
the
work
that
boulder
county
public
staff
has
done
prior
to
bringing
this
to
the
board
and
the
extensive
consultation
process
that
has
gone
in
here.
We
have
talked
extensively
with
boulder
county
municipal
government
leaders
and
other
public
sector
leaders.
We've
worked
with
our
business
community
to
get
feedback
and
elicit
feedback
from
them.
We've
talked
to
our
schools,
and
that
includes
both
our
major
school
districts,
as
well
as
private
schools,
early
childhood
education
providers
and
other
youth
serving
organizations.
K
So
there
are
a
number
of
elements
related
to
data
science
and
facts
that
we
have
tried
to
take
into
consideration
in
developing
these
recommendations,
and
many
of
them
are
supportive
of
a
transition
to
unmasking,
and
we
also
have
noticed
a
number
of
cautions
often
related
to
those
same
issues.
We
know,
for
instance,
that
cases
have
peaked
and
are
declining.
At
the
same
time,
cases
are
above
our
may
2021
levels
and
we
are
still
in
high
transmission.
K
Health
system
strain
is
lessening,
but
it
is
still
strained.
Treatments
have
been
developed
for
all
ages,
but
there
will
be
several
months
before
there
is
a
significant
and
reliable
supply
of
doses.
We
do
know
that
omicron
produces
less
severe
disease
and,
at
the
same
time,
there
is
emerging
science
on
the
long-term
impacts.
K
Other
factors
relevant
to
policy
decisions
that
we
have
worked
to
take
into
account
is
the
recognition
that
surrounding
counties
have
lifted
masking
and
that
creates
new
pressures
for
businesses
and
schools.
At
the
same
time,
expert
bodies
and
some
states
have
chosen
to
keep
have
recommended
against
lifting
masking
orders,
especially
for
the
youngest.
K
So,
just
to
really
take
a
look
at,
we
wanted
to
do
a
little
bit
of
a
deeper
dive
on
the
issue
of
case
metrics.
As
a
predictor
of
severe
illness,
we
had
proposed
in
the
indoor
public
masking
public
health
order
that
50
per
100,
000
or
moderate
transmission
be
used
as
a
marker
for
when
it
would
be
appropriate
to
step
out
of
requirements
for
masking
and
when
we
looked
at
the
data,
and
particularly
looked
at
cases
shown
in
this
top
graph
mapped
against
hospitalizations
shown
in
the
lower
graph.
K
Were
not
necessarily
repeated
in
omicron,
and
so
what
you
see
is
that
cases
in
omicron
surged
significantly
higher
than
the
height
of
the
delta
peak
and
yet
hospitalizations
were
lower
during
omicron
than
the
delta
peaks,
and
we
think
that
some
of
the
contributions
to
these
differences
include
the
disease.
Severity
of
omicron
is
different,
the
reduced
viral
load
transmission
due
to
vaccinations
and
masking,
and
the
availability
of
therapeutics
in
the
community.
K
So
with
all
of
these
kind
of
balancing
questions,
we
had
to
reflect
very
carefully
about
what
is
what
is
really
happening
right
now?
Where
does
the
weight
of
the
evidence
lie?
What
is
the
weight
of
the
most
important
considerations,
and
we
really
started
to
feel
like
this?
Was
that
we're
in
an
inflection
point
in
the
in
addressing
this
pandemic?
K
Why
is
it
an
inflection
point,
because
the
projections
are
very
positive
right
now
and
they
seem
to
be
coming
to
fruition
that
our
case
metrics?
What
we're
trying
to
pay
attention
to
in
terms
of
the
most
important
metrics
is
shifting
that
vaccines
are
available
widely
for
almost
everyone,
including
that
we
have
reached
80
percent
community
immunity,
as
estimated
by
the
state
health
department
and
92
percent
of
our
own
county
population
has
had
more
than
one
vaccine
that
there
are
resources
for
individuals
to
better
protect
themselves.
K
We
are,
we
do
still
have
a
couple
of
concerns.
One
is
related
to
the
health
care
system.
We
know
that
that
the
health
care
system
is
still
under
tremendous
amount
of
pressure
and
there
is
interest
among
our
health
system
partners
to
continue
requiring
masking
in
these
settings.
There
are
some
protections
in
place
for
unvaccinated
persons
to
continue
masking
as
patrina
mentioned
earlier,
and
we
also
expect
that
most
of
our
hospitals,
if
not
all
of
our
healthcare
providers,
will
continue
to
expect
masking
in
their
environments.
K
K
So,
based
on
what
we
have
presented,
we
have
the
following
recommend:
recommendations
for
the
board
of
health
to
guide
us
going
forward.
The
first
would
be
a
vote
this
evening
that
would
resend
public
health
order.
202108
on
public
indoor
masking
on
february
18th
indicating
that
masks
would
no
longer
be
required
by
bcph
in
public
indoor
spaces.
C
Alexi,
can
I
ask
a
few
clarifying
questions
going
back
to
some
of
the
presentation?
Indeed,
so
for
the
icu,
it's
11,
coveted
19
patients
and
30
pediatric
hospitalizations
in
these
numbers.
Are
these
entirely
due
to
covid
or
some
of
these
incident
incidental
or
some
of
these
patients
who
came
in
for
other
reasons
and
then
happened
to
also
test
positive
for
covid.
K
M
C
Thank
you
and
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
on
the
masking
as
well,
so
the
head
start
programs,
I'm
just
curious.
The
ones
in
boulder
county
are
most
of
those
entirely
head
start.
Participants
are,
are
many
of
those
head
start
programs
mixed?
So
it's
a
school
where
you
might
have
25
percent
head
start
and
the
rest
are
not
involved
in
the
head
start
program.
K
L
C
Thank
you
and
then
one
last
question
on
the
masking
so
for
the
eces.
Do
we
have
any
idea
of
if
the
masks
are
being
worn
properly
and
also
are
the
eces
are
most
of
the
young
children
wearing
cloth
masks,
or
do
they
have
pretty
good
access
to
well
fitting
k90
kn
95
masks?
Now
I
asked
because
the
majority
of
the
concerns
that
we
got
leading
up
to
this
meeting
have
mostly
been
around
day,
cares
and
early
child
care
settings
with
complaints
about
quarantining,
masking
and
also
questions
around
improperly
worn
masks
at
that
age
anyway.
K
Thank
you
for
the
question
brooke
I
I
don't
know
that
we
had
specific
data
on
what
kinds
of
masks
children
are
wearing
in
the
percentage
of
time
that
their
mask
that
they're.
Masking
correctly,
I
do
know
that
in
the
ece
setting
masking
a
staff
is
also
a
particular
concern
in
order
to
maintain
continuity
of
the
workforce
in
that
setting
and
that
a
number
of
ecc
ece
providers
continue
to
work
with
families
to
ensure
that
children
are
safely
protected.
B
Okay
thanks,
so
thanks
always
to
the
staff
for
putting
these
presentations
together.
We
it
looks
like
we
have
at
least
a
couple
weeks
worth
of
data
from
eagle
and
summit
about
dropping
masks
in
schools.
Do
we
know
what
their
numbers
have
looked
like
in
schools,
since
they've
dropped,
mastering
schools.
L
I'll
have
to
defer
to
the
experts
in
epidemiology
on
on
that
one.
But
one
thing
I
can
say
is
that
eagle
and
summit
counties
have
tended
to
be
at
the
front
end
of
the
curve
when
we've
had
waves,
so
they've
usually
gone
first
in
some
policy
making
areas.
Because
of
that
I
know
that
doesn't
completely
answer
the
question,
but
at
least
it
can
get
us
started.
While
we
wait
for
someone
else
to
come
on.
B
N
I
just
wanted
to
add
morgan.
We
we
did
talk
to
our
health
staff,
but
you
know
they
don't
speak
for
all
the
teachers,
but
there
is
you
know
there
is
some
positive
sentiment
with
moving
in
this
direction,
but
I
don't
know
if
soda
or
anyone
from
the
school
team
heather
would
want
to
jump
on
and
share
salaam
and
share
if
they've
heard
anything
specific
to
teaching
teachers.
O
B
And-
and
then
I
have,
I
have
so
many
questions
about
what
protocols
will
happen.
I
don't
know
if
it's
the
right
time
right
now
or
if
it's
during
deliberations,
but
I
mean
it
does
have
to
do
with
as
a
coming
from
a
two-parent
working
household
with
three
kids
in
school
like
highest
priority,
is
keeping
kids
in
school
for
me,
so
I'm
just
wondering
how
how
protocols
would
go
going
forward
if
there
is
a
case
in
class,
and
is
it
test
to
stay
or
what's
what
would
happen
to
keep
kids
in
schools.
K
Thank
you.
I
think
we're
going
to
get
a
little
bit
into
that
conversation
about
the
implementation,
a
little
bit
more.
In
the
next
session
section,
I
will
mention
that
a
number
of
school
districts
as
counties
have
moved
out
of
county
level.
Mass
mandates
have
developed
their
own
guidelines
and
we
would
be
very
supportive
if
schools
or
school
districts
were
interested
in
implementing
their
own
masking
requirements
and
supporting
them
to
do
that.
E
K
L
L
M
M
A
A
We
had
talked
about
you
know
through
contact,
investigation
or
case
investigation,
that
a
lot
of
the
students
in
the
five
are
k
through
12
were
experiencing
their
exposures
outside
of
the
school
and
do
we
know
you
know
if
during
omacron
I
mean,
I
think
we
were
not
able
to
stay
just
due
to
the
overwhelming
caseload.
We
couldn't
do
as
many
case
investigations,
so
I'm
wondering
with
omicron.
Is
that
still
in
ece?
Do
we
see
the
same
kind
of
pattern
where
the
exposures,
the
you
know,
any
of
the
kids
that
test
positive
get?
Q
C
Yes,
so
for
the
for
the
summary
of
the
proposals
for
number
one,
the
asterisk
about
the
health
care
settings,
could
you
clarify
that?
Does
that
mean
that
we
will
maintain
a
public
health
order
for
health
care
settings,
or
does
that
mean
that
health
care
facilities
will
be
responsible
for
developing
their
own
potential?
Masking
policies.
C
Got
it
and
then
another
question
so
february
25th
for
this
for
rescinding
the
school
masking
mandate?
I
can't
remember
from
the
slide
does
that
put
us
last
in
the
state.
I
seem
to
remember
that
most
of
the
counties
all
are
prior
to
february
25th.
Most
of
them
did
it
concurrently
with
their
universal
mask
mandate,
except
for
denver.
C
Got
it
okay
and
then
for
the
ece
settings.
This
might
be
something
that
you'll
get
into
later,
but
I'm
curious
why
we're
opting
to
maintain
our
county
public
health
order
instead
of
referring
to
the
state
guidelines
and
the
cdc
guidelines
to
sort
of
allow
the
ece
settings?
To
cite
those
as
reasons
for
maintaining
masking
and
quarantining.
K
A
K
K
So
what
we
would
expect
in
turn
during
a
transition
is
that,
in
terms
of
data,
we
may
see
that
improvements
may
slow.
This
is
assuming
that
the
proposals
that
we
have
presented
to
the
board
were
accepted,
so
improvements
may
slow.
We
may
continue
to
see
some
high
death
rates
for
at
least
a
few
weeks,
and
we
will
continue
to
see
seasonal
or
variant
related
surges,
probably
very
likely
in
the
fall
and
perhaps
at
other
times,
also
in
terms
of
public
spaces.
K
K
We
do
want
to
immediately
begin
to
look
at
opportunities
to
further
relieve
isolation
and
quarantine
requirements
to
help
keep
those
under
five
kiddos
in
class
and
keep
staff
at
work,
and
we
think
we
have
some
approaches
to
how
we
might
be
able
to
do
that,
and
that
would
take
place
immediately
so
in
terms
of
the
public.
So
we've
talked
about
how
a
lot
of
this
is
really
predicated
on
working
with
the
community
to
support
habits
and
protective
measures
and
in
terms
of
what
we
hope
to
see.
K
We
would
hope
to
see
that
businesses
and
schools
have
their
own
policies
and
guidelines
going
forward
that
families
and
businesses
have
rapid
tests
and
masks
on
hand
that
people
continue
to
mask
in
public
spaces,
based
on
their
risk,
tolerance
and
peace
of
mind,
based
on
when
they
are
symptomatic.
When
they've
had
a
positive
test
or
a
recovering,
especially
during
a
substantial
or
high
transmission,
and
we
will
have
to
continue
to
make
sure
that
those
metrics
make
sense
in
that
context.
But
in
terms
of
recommendations,
we
certainly
feel
like
that
is
still
a
useful
metric.
K
K
So
in
relation
to
what
this
means
for
our
own
agency,
what
we're
really
trying
to
do
is
move
towards
regular
disease
management
processes
so
eventually
there
we
expect
there
to
be
state
guidelines
that
are
related
to
the
state
communicable
disease
manual.
That
might
include
things
like
reporting
cases
investigating
and
containing
outbreaks,
specifically
maintaining
our
local
partnerships
and
then,
in
the
shorter
term.
We
expect
that
we
would
be
pivoting
to
continue
to
focus
our
cict
work
on
outbreaks.
Only
we
will
likely
be
stepping
down
mass
testing
and
vaccination
over
the
next
couple
of
months.
K
F
F
F
It's
your
pleasure,
if
you
feel
like
supporting
the
hospital
systems
through
the
mechanism
of
a
public
health
order,
would
be
helpful
to
them
for
a
such
period
of
time,
but
also
it
was
loudly
expressed
that
many
of
them
would
have
those
policies
in
place
so
that
our
public,
who
does
utilize
any
clinics
or
hospitals
associated
with
said
organizations
with
policies
in
place,
should
expect
that
when
they
go
to
see
their
physician
or
nurse
practitioner
they're
going
to
have
to
mask
up.
So
it's
really
a
consideration
for
you.
F
A
F
If,
if
boulder
county
public
health
were
to
order
health
care
facilities,
it
would
include
smaller
clinics
like
a
chiropractor's
office,
a
local
small.
You
know
business
as
such.
I
could
have
ms
rueland
expound
on
that
if
she
feels
that
I'm
missing
any
pieces
of
that
puzzle,
but
it
it
would
include
small
and
large
hospital
and
health
care
systems
and
clinics.
C
C
Okay,
so
we
would
vote
then
k
through
12
and
then
vote
on
ece
separately,
and
then
I
just
also
had
a
question
so
ece.
Most
of
those,
many
of
those,
especially
in
boulder,
are
private.
They
would
still
be
beholden
to
any
of
the
any
of
the
masking
and
quarantine
requirements.
If
we
maintain
the
public
health
order,
correct.
F
That
document
would
be
strong
recommendations
advising
the
community
of
these
steps,
by
which
they
could
protect
themselves
and
others
from
transmission
of
this
virus.
It
would
be
inclusive
of
the
strong
recommend
or
the
of
the
of
the
items
that
are
currently
in
our
orders,
but
it
would
turn
into
an
advisory
to
continue
with
the
values
that
that
we've
been
working
to
impart
to
the
community
to
to
protect
and
promote
health.
During
this
pandemic.
F
It's
helpful
to
us,
as
we
will
continue
to
survey
this
pandemic,
to
gather
data
and
provide
updates
to
our
partners
and
to
you
and
keeping
the
advisory
alive
with
language
that
mirrors
what
we
used
to
require.
For
example,
should
you
go
that
route
and
now
advises
it
for
a
period
of
time?
Until
we
can
see
a
continued
trend
of
downturn,
cases
was
our
intention
in
this
space
got.
F
In
the
collaborations
I've
had
with
with
partners
around
us,
I
do
not
believe
they
have.
They
put
out
significant
pieces
of
information
on
their
websites,
encouraging
vaccinations,
for
example,
and
to
support
the
vulnerable
by
masking
around
those
that
are
immunocompromised,
etc.
But
I
do
not
have
information
to
support
my
knowledge
that
they
issued
an
advisory.
No
okay,.
B
F
B
F
I've
been
connecting
regularly
with
with
the
leadership
with
administration
and
they've
over
and
over
expressed
to
their
support,
either
for
continuation
of
orders
or
to
be
at
the
ready
for
stand
down
to
communicate
with
parents
and
guardians
and
staff
of
schools
as
to
what
the
next
steps
might
be.
As
you
can
imagine,
and
as
dr
nolan
alluded
there,
there
will
be
discussions
that
must
be
had
with
school
health
personnel,
as
well
as
leadership
relative
to
the
changes
that
will
exist
without
the
order
in
place.
F
Boulder
county
did
make
a
strategic
decision
to
incorporate
its
school
guidance
into
its
public
health
order
2021-07,
and
so
therefore,
once
the
order
goes
away.
So
does
the
required
guidance,
and
we
will
be
should
that,
be
the
pleasure
of
the
board
working
with
the
school
each
school.
Sorry,
all
schools
to
understand
what
the
next
steps
are
for
the
guidance
that
they
will
have
to
ensure
occurs
and
is
effectuated.
B
And
then,
and
then
thank
you,
my
my
last
just
I
guess
point
of
clarity
here
is
that
the
delay
between
today
being
the
14th
and
having
a
public
health
order
expire
on
the
18th
and
then
the
25th
is
to
support
communication
and
outreach
around
the
details
of
doing
this.
Just
so
that
that
is
clear
to
the
board
and
clear
to
anybody
who
might
be
waiting
to
talk.
Also
that
that
is
the
reason
why
you're
recommending
a
delay
between
today.
F
Yes,
ma'am,
that's
the
recommendation.
That
is
the
basis
for
that
recommendation,
the
the
importance
of
providing
our
community,
especially
our
business
partners,
with
new
signage
and
clarification
on
next
steps
it
it
takes
an
incredible
amount
of
time
to
do
those
communications
and
get
them
exactly
right
and
we're
here
to
support
our
community,
and
that
is
why
we've
recommended
the
delay.
It
is
obviously
at
the
pleasure
of
the
board
what
you
decide.
We
will
also
support.
D
F
Be
yes
doctor
it
it
would
be
so
should
it
be
the
pleasure
of
the
board
to
not
continue
public
health
order
2021-07
in
either
setting
in
k-12
or
ece,
it
would
be
up
to
k-12
or
eces
to
make
their
own
policies
the
public
health.
The
department
would
not
be
involved
in
enforcement
et
cetera.
It
would
be
really
an
in
each
each
entity
could
implement
their
own
employment
policies,
participation,
membership
policies,
etc.
A
A
A
G
Awesome
thanks
greg
and
for
everyone's
reminder,
speakers
will
have
up
to
three
minutes,
but,
as
president
thomas
mentioned,
we
do
have
more
than
30
speakers
signed
up
to
speak
and
the
90-minute
cut
off
so
feel
free
to
you
know
second,
prior
commenter
or
keep
your
comments
short,
but
each
speaker
called
will
have
up
to
three
minutes.
So
we're
going
to
start
with
sarah
ann
miller
and
anne
greene
is
on
deck.
G
G
T
Guys,
my
name
is
sarah
and
miller.
I
am
a
parent
of
three
kiddos
in
the
saint
raine
valley,
school
district.
My
daughter
charlie,
actually
wanted
to
share
but
had
dance.
So
instead
she
wrote
in
her
heart.
She
has
had
the
opportunity,
thanks
to
our
school
district,
to
have
an
exemption
which
has
been
a
huge
blessing
for
her,
as
well
as
our
other
two
kiddos
after
last
year's
extremities.
T
If
you
will,
however,
what
she
has
started
to
share
with
me
is:
what's
happening
at
school
and
the
things
that
are
heavy
on
her
heart
with
her
friends
and
also
with
the
teachers
and
how
warned
down
everyone
seems
to
be
and
the
morale
as
a
whole,
and
she
continues
to
ask
me
mom:
what's
it
going
to
take,
and
so
as
a
parent,
I
think
a
lot
of
us.
You
know
we've
followed
the
science
we've
done.
Our
part.
T
We've
listened
to
you
guys,
as
the
experts
and
your
advice
to
us
in
hopes
that
you
know.
As
you
advise
us,
we
can
trust
you
and
the
things
that
you
have
put
in
place,
but
we
firmly
believe
hearing
from
our
students
and
hearing
from
my
daughter
alone
that
it's
time
for
us
to
give
choice
to
the
parents
and
choice
to
the
students
and
also
the
faculty
and
staff,
there's
a
lot
of
disruption
within
the
classroom.
And
I
think
that
this
is
one
thing
that
we
can
all
agree
on.
T
There's
opportunity
for
us
to
have
a
choice
here
and
we're
hoping
that
tonight
you
will
allow
that
for
each
student,
each
family,
each
teacher,
so
that
we
can
continue
to
see
those
smiles
and
hug
one
another
again
and
hopefully
move
into
a
different
phase.
So,
thanks
for
having
me
and
thanks
for
all,
you
guys
do
for
our
students
and
community.
G
U
Yeah
hi,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
yeah.
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
healthy
children's
risk
of
disability
or
death
from
cover
19
is
essentially
zero,
so
ordering
math
scoring
for
all
of
boulder
county
and
also
by
extension,
as
the
previous
caller
mentioned,
students
in
the
saint
grand
valley
district
schools
in
weld
county
is
not
based
on
science.
There
have
only
been
two
randomized
studies
on
the
effectiveness
of
mask
to
prevent
covid
and
both
showed
that
mask
made
no
difference
whatsoever
in
preventing
transmission.
U
There's
also,
no
data
indicating
that
asymptomatic
children
are
spreading
the
virus
to
adults
in
school
and
child
care
settings.
In
addition
to
not
preventing
the
spread
of
covid
masking
children
causes
real
harm
speech.
Delays
in
babies
and
toddlers
are
increasing
and
referrals
to
speech
therapists
that
increase
almost
fourfold
since
before
mass
mandates
went
into
effect.
U
Research
at
a
brown
university
indicates
a
23
drop
in
scores
measuring
children's
iq.
Since
the
start
of
the
pandemic,
research
indicates
that
just
minutes
of
mass
wearing
leads
to
dangerously
high
carbon
dioxide
levels
in
children's
blood
streams.
This
oxygen
deprivation
in
the
long
term
could
very
well
be.
What's
causing
the
reductions
in
intelligence
that
I
just
mentioned,
the
head
start,
programs
that
you
think
are
so
important
to
equity
are
likely
doing
more
harm
than
good
when
you
keep
the
kids
in
the
program's
oxygen
deprived.
U
So,
no
matter
how
well-intentioned
your
policy
is,
it's
likely
doing
more
harm
than
good,
so
a
cost-benefit
analysis
informs
us
that
healthy
children
should
not
be
masked
ever
in
an
interview
with
colorado,
public
radio.
In
december
governor
polis
said,
the
emergency
is
over
public
health
officials.
Don't
get
to
tell
people
what
to
wear?
That's
just
not
their
job.
I
couldn't
agree
more,
it's
time
to
stop
ignoring
the
emotional,
social
and
developmental
costs
of
widespread
masking.
U
No
one
elected
you
to
make
personal
health
decisions
for
us,
our
families,
our
local
businesses
or
our
schools.
School
superintendents
are
hiding
behind
your
orders
to
continue
forcing
students
to
spend
upwards
of
seven
hours
a
day
covering
their
faces
at
school
and
on
the
school
buses
to
and
from
school.
It
is
past
time
for
you
to
stop
abusing
your
positions
by
imposing
masking,
particularly
on
our
most
vulnerable.
U
You
all
should
be
held
accountable
for
the
harm
you've.
Already
caused,
and
also
the
fact
that
you're
still
holding
your
meetings
remotely
is
ridiculous.
If
you
honestly
thought
that
asymptomatic
cases
spread
covet
and
that
masks
and
vaccines
work
to
stop
the
spread,
you
would
be
meeting
in
person
with
mass
not
making
excuses.
Thank
you.

I
think
I'll
just
limit
my
comments
to
the
the
health
care
system
element
of
what
you
were
talking
about.
I
kind
of
I
think
that
the
it
would
be
most
beneficial
to
address
that
with
guidelines
and
recommendations,
and
I
don't
think
that
that
mandates
are
necessary
for
for
that
setting,
because
for
the
hospital
systems
and
the
urgent
cares
and
the
surgery
centers,
I
think
that
they
have
the
ability
to
make
their
policies
responsibly,
but
then
you
know
for
I'm
really
more
concerned
with
the
the
the
small
office
buildings.
V
I
mean
sorry
small
office
practices
that
that
those
are
are
different
and
varied,
and
you
can
imagine
how
there
could
be
a
different
circumstance
for
a
the
need
to
have
higher
level
of
protections.
For
let's
say
an
oncology
office
where
they're
going
to
have
at-risk
patients
for
immunocompromise
compared
to
you,
know,
psychiatry
office,
where
it's
much
more
important
to
have
the
the
personal
interaction
and
not
not
be
hindered
with
masks.
I
can
even
see
in
a
you
know
in
a
primary
care
setting
where
we
have
discussions.
V

In
communication
with
the
state
health
department,
I
learned
that
child
hospitalizations
have
been
very
low
in
boulder
residents
low
enough
that
they
could
not
release
the
numbers
to
me
due
to
confidentiality
in
the
interest
of
equity.
Has
the
board
overlooked
the
detrimental
effects
of
masking
teachers
on
particular
groups
of
children
who
need
to
see
mouths
moving?
Typically,
developing
toddlers,
children
in
speech,
therapy
children,
learning
to
read
english
language,
learners,
autistic
and
deaf
children,
full
understanding
of
emotional
cues
and
non-verbal
communication
requires
the
whole
face.
W
W
Teachers
say
that
clear
masks
are
very
uncomfortable
and
face
shields
are
not
allowed.
No
other
accommodations
are
available.
Besides
spending
significant
time
outside,
which
is
difficult
to
winter,
data
shows
that
vaccinations
not
masking
will
prevent
severe
outcomes
in
adults.
Boulder's
population
is
highly
vaccinated.
W
It's
time
to
make
mass
optional
for
adults
and
children
in
all
indoor
locations,
including
schools,
especially
our
youngest
children,
who
are
desperately
in
need
of
normal
interactions.
Children's
risks
are
too
low
to
continue
masking.
Let's
show
them
that
we
value
their
needs
beyond
simply
not
getting
covered.
Their
health
and
well-being
depend
on
it.
Thank
you.
G
X
Hi,
thank
you
for
hearing
my
comments.
I
agree
with
pretty
much
what
everybody
said
thus
far
and
it's
very
encouraging,
as
are
the
recommendations
to
move
forward
into
the
next
phase.
I
am
a
parent
with
a
child
at
cu
and
also
at
boulder
high,
and
I
believe,
first
and
foremost,
in
medical
freedom
and
not
force.
I
respect
the
recommendations
of
the
border
health,
but
I
don't
believe
that
the
authority
is
there
to
mandate
given
where
we
are
at
this
phase.
X
We
have
to
learn
to
live
with
covid,
and
I
believe
that
we
have
the
right
to
bodily
autonomy
and
should
not
be
forced
or
forced
into
wearing
a
mask.
Not
everyone
can
tolerate
mask
wearing
medically
nor
emotionally,
and
those
who
wish
to
continue
wearing
masks
indoors
can
do
so
as
good
citizens.
We
know
to
wash
our
hands
and
stay
home
when
we're
sick
and
in
boulder
in
the
state
of
colorado,
coveted
numbers
are
down.
X
X
Countries
like
the
uk
netherlands
recently
came
out
and
lifted
mass
mandates,
citing
that
the
science
doesn't
show
they
have
any
statistical
benefit
in
stopping
the
spread
of
a
virus.
It
is
spread
through
the
air,
aerosols
and
the
virus
has
been
determined
to
be
0.06
to
0.14
microns
in
size.
Even
an
n95
can't
can
can't
filter
that
out.
X
So
the
time
is
now
for
us
to
live,
learn
to
live
with
covid.
We
can't
outrun
the
virus,
but
learn
to
live
with
it
and
not
at
the
expense
of
our
well-being,
nor
the
well-being
of
our
children.
The
mental
health
ramifications
of
continued
mass
mandates
will
be
catastrophic.
We
have
already
seen
using
huge
increases
in
anxiety,
depression
and
suicide
rates.
People
are
suffering,
especially
our
children
unmask
our
children.
Now
the
risks
outweigh
any
potential
benefit.
X
Let
them
and
all
people
breathe,
freely
interact
with
one
another
as
their
development
and
all
our
mental
health
and
well-being
depend
on
it,
and
I
agree
with
the
other
posters
about
these
studies
that
are
coming
out.
There
was
a
germany
study
that
recently
was
published,
68
negative
effects
on
children's
mass
wearing
brown
university
study,
where
the
cognition
was
declined.
I
think
somewhere
around
23
in
children
0-5
that
they've
been
tracking
since
covid
started,
like
babies
till
five
and
they're.
X
G
Y
Thank
you
very
much,
kate,
good
evening,
boulder
county
public
health.
I
do
want
to
thank
you
very
much.
Lindy
called
me.
We
had
a
very
conspiracy
and
I
really
appreciated
it.
I've
really
appreciated
the
team
for
the
last
couple
years
and
a
lot
of
the
things
we've
all
gone
through
together.
My
request
is:
when
you
end
both
orders
tonight,
you
need
to
align
all
of
it.
There
should
not
be.
This
is
what's
frustrated
the
public,
there's
a
rule
for
this
group.
There's
a
rule
for
that
group.
Y
Z
Y
Y
Our
data
is
in
line
with
the
rest
of
the
county
schools
that
claim
they
have
zero
schools
that
claim
they
have
10,
but
our
data
aligns
and
in
fact,
twin
peaks.
Classical
academy
has
a
lower
case
rate
and
data
rate
than
the
same
marine
valley,
school
district
as
a
whole.
I
can't
compare
to
boulder
valley
school
district
because
they
don't
publish
their
data
and
again
I
really
do
appreciate
you.
Y
Let's
get
rid
of
these
masks,
let's
give
kids
some
normalcy
children.
Two
two-year-olds
should
not
be
wearing
masks
the
who
doesn't
agree
with
that.
Western
europe
doesn't
agree
with
that,
we're
in
some
weird
world,
where
we
think
they
should
be,
and
one
more
plea
for
boulder
county
public
health.
You
need
to
be
meeting
in
person.
Your
staff
needs
to
be
at
work
if
you
believe
in
vaccinations,
if
you
believe
in
masking,
if
you
believe
in.
Y
AB
G
AC
Good
evening
my
name
is
stephen
hennessey
I
live
in
boulder.
Wearing
a
mask
is
one
measure
that
helps
prevent
transmission
of
airborne
illness
and
our
public
health
department
should
be
educating
people
about
disease
prevention,
but
imposing
government
mandates
that
threaten
criminal
punishment
is
an
extreme
measure.
AC
The
enforcement
clause
in
boulder
county's
masked
mandates
threatened
penalties
of
up
to
18
months
of
imprisonment
in
the
county
jail
in
kcv
people.
The
colorado
supreme
court
held
that
a
public
health
department
does
not
have
the
power
to
define
a
crime
that
power
belongs
exclusively
to
our
elected
officials.
AC
Our
public
health
department
should
be
focused
on
educating
people
about
how
they
can
stay
safe.
I
think,
when
you
guys
wait
into
what
is
lawful,
what
is
not
that
runs
a
serious
risk
of
degrading
the
public
trust
and
that
can
really
undermine.
I
think
the
core
mission
of
what
public
health
should
be
doing,
which
is
again
educating
people
about
how
they
can
equip
themselves
to
make
the
decisions
that
are
right
for
our
community.
AC
That
our
public
health
department
is
finally
becoming
more
responsive
to
what
people
in
the
community
are
saying.
The
board
of
health
should
end
the
government
mandates
and
replace
them
with
sound
guidance
that
the
public
can
trust
and
that
guidance
can
include
masking
and
people
should
be
able
to
learn
about
what
masks
work
and
how
they
can
protect
themselves,
but
people
should
not
be
threatened
with
criminal
punishment
and
mandated
to
wear
them.
That's
just
not
what
the
public
health
department
should
be
doing.
G
AD
Wonderful,
thank
you
so
much.
I
appreciate
it
so
I
first
want
to
say
thank
you
for
letting
me
share
my
concerns.
I
was
first
going
to
talk
about
the
metric
for
the
mass
mandate,
but
now,
based
on
what
was
said,
I
feel
like
I
need
to
pivot
and
just
address
what
the
others
have
been
and
focus
on
the
mandate
for
early
learning
centers.
So
I'm
a
mother
of
two
kids.
AD
That's
just
not
true
from
my
personal
experience,
all
the
educators
that
I
know
both
in
k-12
and
specifically
the
folks
at
my
son's
preschool,
are
strongly
opposed
to
the
mass
mandate
from
personal
experience.
It's
just
crazy
to
me
that
anyone
thinks
a
two-year-old
five-year-old
can
wear
a
mask
effectively
and
that
it's
going
to
stop
any
kind
of
spread.
AD
My
son's
mask
is
disgusting
when
he's
done
with
a
day
from
school,
and
importantly,
as
the
early
speakers
said,
the
science
unmask
and
covet
among
children,
the
studies
have
been
done
are
not
at
all
supportive
of
the
mandate
for
kids,
regardless
of
what
the
cdc
is
currently
saying.
The
us
is
one
of
the
only
countries
recommending
masking
these
young
kids
and
it's
especially
crazy
when
we
know
based
on
the
data
that
children
are
among
the
least
vulnerable
to
coven.
So
why
are
we
even
considering
maintaining
the
mass
mandate
specifically
for
this
population?
AD
If
we
want
to
protect
vulnerable
populations,
as
we
said,
then
we
must
be
protecting
our
children
and
protecting
their
right
for
normal
social
interactions
and
give
them
the
chance
to
develop
normally
so
as
a
society
we're
going
to
be
unraveling
the
long-term
effects
of
this
for
years
to
come.
So
with
this
in
mind,
I
just
please
implore
the
board
to
reconsider
the
mass
mandates,
especially
for
the
young
kids
in
the
k-12.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time.
G
AE
AE
Okay,
sorry
about
that
all
right,
so
I
wanted
to
call
in
like
many
of
the
others
to
just
ask
it
looks
like
we're,
probably
leaning
towards
rescinding
the
mask
mandate,
but
the
the
other
issue,
like
has
been
brought
up
many
times,
is
the
the
kids
in
the
early
development
learning.
You
know
schools
and
things
like
that.
AE
But
I
I
see
other
kids
that
are
you
know
three
four,
five
years
old,
even
that
are
they're
having
such
a
difficult
time
with
their
speech,
because
they've
missed
out
on
two
years
worth
of
of
learning.
So
we
we
need
to
to
adjust
what
we're
doing
here.
We
need
to
just
drop
it.
I
mean
we've
heard
other
people,
the
the
facts
are
the
cloth,
masks
and
things
that
that
the
kids
are
wearing
and
stuff.
In
schools
number
one,
two
and
three-year-olds
are
not
wearing
masks
correctly
anyway.
AE
AE
G
G
AF
Problem
yeah:
well,
it's
really
great
to
hear
everybody
talking
about
ending
these
masked
mandates,
I'm
in
complete
agreement-
and
I
agree
with
everything
that's
been
said-
and
I
wanted
to
add
the
other
really
important
thing,
which
is
mental
health.
We
are
facing
an
epidemic
in
this
country
of
deaths
of
despair
in
boulder
county.
Not
a
single
person
under
the
age
of
30
has
died
of
covid.
Meanwhile,
in
2020
alone,
130
boulderites
died
deaths
of
despair
that
includes
suicide,
drug
and
alcohol
overdoses.
AF
16
people
under
the
age
of
30
have
killed
themselves.
This
is
a
disgrace.
It
breaks
my
heart,
my
nephew's
best
friend
killed
himself.
This
is
just
it
is
just
awful
what
is
happening
here.
The
other
thing,
that's
just
so
distressing-
is
there's
an
epidemic
that
I
just
learned
about.
I
did
well
I've
known
about
it
this
this
thc,
this
concentrated
thc
that
kids
are
taking
it
has
taken
over
and
why?
Because
it's
despair,
these
kids
are
they're
masked
up.
AF
They
they're
just
in
massive
distress,
the
stress
everywhere
you
go
to
the
grocery
store
and
nobody's
making
eye
contact.
People
are
freaked
out.
We
have
got
to
end
this
freak
out.
We've
got
to
end
the
death
of
despair,
we
have
to
return
to
happiness
and
joy.
We
live
in
the
most
blessed
world
and
these
mass
mandates
are
a
lie
that
are
making
it
like.
We
have
something
to
worry
about.
The
only
thing
that
we
have
to
fear
is
this
fear
itself.
AF
So
please
end
these
masked
mandates
and
again
another
point
97
of
all
the
most
vulnerable
people
who
are
need
to
worry
about
vaccines
or
who
need
to
worry
about
coven.
They
are
protected
people
and
the
mass
people
said
one
mask
one:
masking
works,
whoever
is
vulnerable,
wear
a
good
n95
mask
and
that
will
protect
them
and
the
cloth
masks
don't
work
with
the
transmission.
G
Great,
thank
you.
I
do
not
see
scott
papp's
hand,
so
terry
gallagher,
if
you
are
on,
can
you
please
raise
your
hand
and
then,
if
susan
mcreynold,
if
you
can
raise
your
hand,
you
are
on
deck.
Okay
great,
I
do.
I
do
not
see
terry
gallagher,
but
I
do
see
susan
mcreynolds
ryan
conrad.
If
you
can
raise
your
hands,
you
will
be
after
susan
and
susan.
Your
three
minutes
starts
now
hey.
Can
you
hear
me.
AG
AG
You
guys
need
to
accept
lifting
the
mandate
for
kids,
five
and
up,
and
you
absolutely
need
to
change
the
recommendation
from
the
experts
and
lift
the
mass
mandates
from
kids,
five
and
under
in
those
child
care
settings.
That
makes
no
sense.
That's
that's
cruel
and
it's
on
the
verge
of
just
being
totally
outrageous.
AG
So
I
just
want
to
say
that
the
science
has
been
clear.
We
need
to
stop
asking
our
kids.
Like
many
of
you
on
this
call,
we
all
watched
the
super
bowl
last
night.
We
could
see
an
entire
stadium
full
of
78
000
unmasked,
people,
attendees
and
celebrities,
who
were
defying
la's.
You
know
indoor
mass
mandate,
and
why
did
they
do
this?
AG
Well,
they
did
it
because
they
didn't
feel
at
risk
from
covet,
but
kids,
the
least
at-risk
age
group
still
had
to
go
to
school
mass
today,
so
instead
our
local
bureaucrats,
our
politicians,
are
intentionally
not
wanting
to
follow
the
science
and
the
coveted
safety
goal
posts.
Keep
moving,
in
fact,
I
think
everyone
knows
this,
but
the
head
of
the
teachers
union
recently
stated
that
you
know
the
mass
shouldn't
be
lifted
until
there's
zero
transmissions
in
the
school
I
mean.
Does
that
statement
even
live
in
reality?
AG
The
obvious
answer
is
no:
it
doesn't
it's
completely
devoid
of
common
sense
science
and
the
data
last
may.
The
cdc
released
a
study
that
considered
over
90
000
kids
attending
169
schools
k
through
5th
grade
in
georgia.
The
study
looked
at
several
different
mitigation
measures
like
school
mass
mandates
and
compared
the
spread
of
cobit
19
between
schools
that
had
these
measures
versus
schools
that
did
not.
AG
The
data
showed
that
universal
masking
in
schools
didn't
do
much
to
reduce
the
spread
of
covet
19
among
students
and
the
georgia
schools
that
did
require
universal
masking
saw
2.4
cases
of
cobid
19
per
500.
Kids
kids
that
did
not
require
universal
masking,
saw
about
3.8
cases
of
cobin
19
per
500
kids.
So
why
are
our
kids
still
being
mass?
Our
children
are
not
second
class
citizens,
but
that
is
how
they're
being
treated
our
children
are
not
stupid.
They
are
watching
us
and
they
remember
everything
as
every
parent
can
attest
to
on
this
call.
AG
If
you
think
this
generation
is
going
to
grow
up
and
respect
you,
you
are
wrong.
They
know
that
masks
are
garbage.
Parents
know
that
too,
and
they
go
to
school
forced
to
participate
in
political
theater
for
the
last
two
years.
Parents
across
this
country
have
had
enough.
Haven't
you
had
enough
too,
or
is
this
really
about
holding
on
to
power
and
control?
AG

AH
Thank
you
so
much,
I'm
speaking
to
this
evening
as
a
parent
and
as
an
educator
here
in
boulder
valley,
school
district.
First
and
foremost,
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all
for
your
hard
work
and
your
leadership
during
the
pandemic,
as
a
teacher,
I'm
overjoyed
and
filled
with
hope
to
hear
the
recommendation
of
the
boulder
county
public
health
to
remove
the
mass
mandates.
In
our
case,
what
k2,
k12
schools,
I'm
really
here
this
evening
to
talk
to
you
about
our
kids.
AH
AH
As
an
educator,
I
have
seen
firsthand
the
harmful
effects
of
the
pandemic.
Related
restrictions
have
rot
on
our
young
people.
Kids
are
struggling
and
suffering,
and
they
desperately
need
this
return
to
normalcy
in
our
schools
and
classrooms.
We
are
seeing
an
increased
amount
of
kids
struggling
with
mental
health
problems,
behavioral
challenges
and
social
isolation,
as
they
confront
significant
barriers
to
learning
and
community
building
as
a
result
of
prologue
masking
as
a
teacher
who's
been
working
with
kids
throughout
the
pandemic.
I
can
tell
you
that
universal
masking
does
you
know,
impede
communication.
AH
It
hampers
the
development
of
social
relations,
hinders,
learning
and
negatively
impacts.
The
emotional
well-being
of
kids
masking
also
has
impaired
my
ability
to
teach,
as
a
teacher
you
know,
masking,
makes
it
more
challenging
to
communicate
to
connect
with
students
to
assess
what
they're
learning
their
engagement,
their
emotional
well-being
and
social
dynamics.
AH
I'm
so
just
thrilled
to
hear
the
recommendations,
and
I
just
want
to
say,
for
the
sake
of
our
kids,
their
education
and
social,
emotional
well-being.
Please
support
the
recommendations
that
have
been
made
this
evening
to
remove
the
mass
mandates
in
our
k-12
savings.
Thank
you
so
much
for
all
that
you
do
and
for
your
time
and
consideration.
G

AI
AI
These
these
kids
will
be
affected
by
this
for
the
rest
of
their
lives.
So
please
drop
the
mask
mandates.
It
is
time
for
all
of
us
to
return
to
normal.
It
is
time
for
us
to
see
each
other
smiling
again.
It
is
time
for
kids
to
see
each
other
smiling
again
and
to
have
normal
lives
to
have
normal
social
interactions.
AI
Covid
for
healthy
people
is
not
a
huge
threat
at
this
point.
It
definitely
is
not
for
the
little
children,
especially
please
don't
ask
them
to
keep
masking
it's
ridiculous.
It
doesn't
work,
it's
not
effective
and
those
kids
are
going
to
suffer
major
mental
health
and
developmental
issues.
If
you
keep
masking
them,
you
know
exposure
to
covid.
I
don't
see
it
as
a
bad
thing.
I
had
coveted
my
whole
family
had
coveted,
it
wasn't
a
big
deal.
We
have
natural
immunity
now,
do
you
remember
when
they
used
to
do
chicken
pox
parties?
AI
What
if
we
had
coveted
parties
and
we
let
kids
get
it?
We
let
them
get
exposed
to
it,
and
we
let
them
develop
the
natural
immunity
that
actually
actually
helps
our
whole
community
and
strengthens
their
bodies
and
their
immune
systems.
Boulder
used
to
be
this
mecca
of
natural
health,
and
I
don't
know
what
happened
during
this
pandemic,
but
that
just
went
goodbye.

You
know
if
the
if
the
masks
were
truly
critical,
then
why
can
they
take
them
off
and
eat
side
by
side?
It's
it's!
It's
just
political
theater,
it's
time
to
drop
the
mandates
for
everyone.
As
other
speakers
have
said,
the
masks
inhibit
social
emotional
growth
inhibit
verbal
development,
and
why
should
our
kids
have
a
dis
disadvantage
living
in
boulder
county,
where
we
pay
higher
property
taxes
than
other
counties
that
have
dropped
the
mandates
for
everyone,
and
I
think
just
finally,
you
know
governor
polis
has
been
talking
a
lot
about
this.
AJ

AK
I'm
a
student
at
erie
elementary
and
I
was
like
and
like
when
we
have
pe
and
stuff
we
can
like
we're
having
troubles
breathing
because
the
masks
are
like
making
our
like.
We
just
can't
breathe
out
of
masks
and
like
if
we're
gonna
drop
masks.
Why
don't
we
drop
them
today,
instead
of
in
two
weeks
and
like
on
snow
days?
AK
G
I
Hi
this
is
ryan.
I
would
thanks
for
the
moment
to
speak
with
everyone.
I
I
would
just
like
to
first
say:
I
think,
ignoring
your
constituents
in
person
is
unfortunate,
especially
under
the
guise
of
kovid.
Not
meeting
us
face
to
face
in
person
is
very
unfortunate
to
assume
not
answering
incoming
questions
on
your
online
forms,
and
otherwise
disabling
comments
is
not
a
way
to
treat
your
constituents.
I
I
am
completely
against
removing
the
mask
mandate
across
the
board,
and
I
think
that
your
vaccine
verification
program
needs
to
be
dropped
immediately
as
it's
discriminatory
and
serves
no
purpose.
A
new
study
from
the
university
of
california
and
davis
shows
no
significant
difference
in
the
viral
load
between
vaccinated
and
unvaccinated
people
who
tested
positive
for
the
delta
variant
of
sars
cove
two.
It
also
found
no
significant
difference
in
between
the
infected
people
with
or
without
symptoms.
I
This
is
completely
arbitrary
and
you
choose
to
put
this
up
in
front
of
our
community,
despite
overwhelming
pushes,
on
the
other
side,
washington,
dc's,
dropping
their
vaccine
verification
program
effective
tomorrow,
and
you
should
do
the
same.
You've
never
tried
to
once
state
what
the
percentage
risk
of
death
is
for
kids
under
the
age
of
18.,
and
here
I'll
be
very
clear.
It's
0.0002
for
a
death
rate
for
kids
and
that's
even
including
significant
comorbidities.
I
I
I
find
your
vilification
of
the
pandemic
of
the
unvaccinated
to
be
very
misleading,
you're
misleading
the
public
by
including
partially
vaccinated
people
and
calling
them
unvaccinated,
and
this
is
coming
out
in
colorado,
health's
official
data,
and
that
is
to
me
lying.
I
think,
at
at
the
least,
misleading
misleading,
ignoring
population-wide
comparisons
with
highly
vaccinated
places
and
places
that
don't
wear
masks
at
all
is
just
being
ignorant
to
a
fault.
Look
at
miami
florida
for
a
comparison
on
mass
look
to
israel
for
a
comparison
on
vaccine
efficacy.
I
Humans
have
the
same
biology
worldwide
and
you
choose
to
focus
on
your
own
internal
studies
rather
than
rather
than
comparing
population-wide
data.
It's
time
to
drop
all
mandates,
cloth,
masks,
don't
work,
asymptomatic
testing,
isn't
effective,
quit
playing
pandemic,
get
back
to
promoting
general
good
health.
We're
not
sick
until
proven
healthy
and
stop
this
vaccine
verification
program
immediately.
It
serves
no
purpose
and
kids
have
been
unnecessarily
vilified
during
this
whole
process,
which
is
just
gross
to
watch,
they
aren't
at
risk
and
you
could
not
explain
that
away
with
numbers
and
I
think
it's
just
terrible.
G
R
R
I,
too
am
disgusted
at
the
fact
that
you
are
all
on
zoom.
Still,
I
think
it's
an
absolute
embarrassment.
I
have
been
to
new
york
city.
I
have
been
all
through
florida.
Everyone
is
laughing
at
boulder.
It
is
utterly
ridiculous
that
these
children
are
going
into
school
masks.
At
this
point,
I
agree
with
the
prayer
speaker.
They
are
not
a
risk.
There
is
not
a
single
statistic
in
this
godforsaken
country
right
now
that
proves
that
children
are
at
risk
of
getting
or
spreading
covet
the
vaccines
for
a
bigger
risk
for
them.
R
R
The
follow-up
study
that
was
done
18
months
later,
between
children,
0
to
5
years
old,
found
that
they
have
lost
24
of
their
cognitive
function.
That
is
almost
a
quarter
of
their
cognitive
reasoning.
That
is
disgusting.
It
is
child
abuse.
It
needs
to
stop.
If
people
want
to
mask,
please
god
let
them
ask,
I
don't
care,
but
to
make
it
a
mandate,
especially
for
these
children.
It
is
inexcusable.
There
is
nothing
to
support
it
and
it
needs
to
end.
G
Great,
thank
you.
I
do
not
see
jessica,
nancy

raised

AL
Hello,
I
am
requesting
that
you,
rescind
all
mask
mandates.
I
think
it's
time
that
our
board
of
health
acknowledges
all
health
rather
than
solely
focus
on
covet
mitigation.
We
are
two
years
into
this,
and
much
has
changed.
Masks
are
no
longer
a
momentary
inconvenience;
they
are
shaping
the
way
our
children
develop,
socialize
and
learn,
and
I
really
want
to
emphasize
that
for
the
young
children,
I
was
a
former
early
childhood
educator
and
I
just
cannot
believe
that
we
are
even
entertaining
the
idea
of
keeping
these
small
children
in
masks
any
longer.
AL
I'm
also
currently
a
parent
of
a
first
grader
who's
learning
to
read
right
now
and
just
to
see
the
way
that
these
teachers
are
having
to
manage.
That
is
just
it's
just
devastating,
because
teaching
children
to
read
with
your
math
with
your
face
covered
is
it's
just
a
joke.
I
have
watched
an
absolute
disbelief
as
our
so-called
public
health
experts
continue
to
place
such
heavy
burdens
on
our
young
children
with
such
complete
disregard
for
their
long-term
health,
there's
so
much
more
to
health
than
ever
getting
colvid.
AL
It
is
with
complete
devastation
that
I
come
to
you
with
the
data
that
our
board
of
health
chooses
to
ignore.
Children's
hospital
of
colorado
has
declared
a
state
of
emergency
for
youth
mental
health.
They
are
stating
that
suicide
is
now
the
leading
cause
of
death
among
children.
They
are
seeing
a
90
increase
in
demand
for
behavioral
treatment.
Placing
our
children
in
this
heightened
state
of
emergency
for
two
years
is
having
a
huge
impact.
This
cannot
go
on
being
ignored.
Our
children
need
and
deserve
normalcy.
AL
I
ask
that
you
recognize
that
different
children
are
prone
to
fall
victim
to
different
risks.
Parents
who
feel
their
child
has
an
increased
risk
for
poor
outcomes
of
covid.
Have
the
option
to
vaccinate
their
child
and
household
participate
in
online
education
and
or
continue
with
masking
what
options
are
being
given
to
the
children
who
are
facing
mental
health
challenges
that
come
from
mask
squaring
all
hours
of
the
day?
What
about
the
children
with
special
needs,
who
are
facing
an
increased
hardship
on
their
education
as
they
struggle
further
to
connect
with
peers?
AL
Recognize
facial
expressions,
speak
and
understand
those
that
are
speaking
to
them?
There
are
many
of
us
who
feel
continuing
to
force.
Our
children
to
subscribe
to
an
emergency
mindset
is
causing
way
more
harm
to
the
children
than
the
mask
could
be
providing
and
benefit
as
a
board
of
health.
You
have
access
to
statistics
and
data
for
cova
deaths,
hospitalizations
and
infection
rate.
However,
so
do
we,
we
have
access
to
something
you
do
not,
though
we
have
access
to
our
own
family
and
children's
health
risks,
as
well
as
awareness
of
their
mental
health
and
emotional
struggles.
AL
AM
Hello,
yes,
can
you
hear
me
now?
Yes,
we
can.
Thank
you,
okay,
perfect.
I
I
see
why
you
guys
don't
want
to
meet
in
person,
there's
a
a
lot
of
dissenting
opinions
today.
I
don't
see
much
of
the
the
debate
that
has
been
mentioned
in
the
presentation,
but
my
name
is
josh.
I'm
a
boulder
county
resident
and
I'm
here
to
speak
on
the
mass
mandate.
That's
been
in
boulder
county
for
months
now.
Recently,
the
covet
19
discussion
has
changed.
AM
90
of
100
immunologists
say
that
covid
will
be
endemic,
meaning
that
it's
here
to
stay
and
we
need
to
learn
to
live
with
it.
Like
the
flu,
the
cdc
director
has
admitted
that
75
of
vaccinated
individuals
dying
of
covid
had
four
or
more
comorbidities,
and
dr
fauci
says
that
there's
a
difference
between
those
hospitalized
with
covid
versus
for
covid,
so
hospitalization
numbers
are
even
inflated.
AM
The
john
hopkins
database
continues
to
show
that
there's
a
98.8
overall
survival
rate
for
this
virus,
and
all
of
this
shows
that
this
is
not
something
that
we
need
this
board
or
anyone
else
to
address.
Yet
you
have
done
so
with
mass
mandates
which
are
both
ineffective
and
devastating
to
our
community,
as
previously
mentioned
n95
masks,
which
are
the
best
filter
particles
to
300
nanometers,
but
the
covid
virus
is
60
to
140
nanometers
wide,
so
even
the
best
masks
allow
the
virus
to
pass
through
a
gap
over
twice
the
size
due
to
the
construction.
AM
Cdc
says
that
cloth
masks
are
completely
ineffective,
so
the
mandate
itself
is
providing
little
if
any
protection
in
all
reality.
Yet
the
effects
of
the
mask
mandate
have
been
devastating
to
our
youth
by
eliminating
their
connection
to
friends
and
to
their
carers.
Brown
university
study,
that's
been
cited
many
times
tonight
has
showed
that
there
is
a
21
point,
iq
drop
in
children
up
to
three
years
of
age
and
stated
that
this
significant
of
a
drop
is
not
seen
outside
of
major
cognitive
disorders
speech.
AM
AM
AM
AM
We
should
stop
forcing
our
children
and
our
businesses
to
carry
the
weight
of
this
ineffective
mandate
when
the
solution
to
a
problem
becomes
more
harmful
than
the
problem
itself.
It's
time
to
admit
that
we
were
wrong
and
remove
the
so-called
solution
so
that
it
does
not
continue
to
devastate
our
community.
AM
AN
AN

health
organization
does
not
recommend

you
know
so
that's
that's
a
huge
organization
that
is
obviously
science
based
and
in
we
don't
know
the
long-term
consequences
of
masking
these
children,
but
we
are
seeing
that
it
is
negatively
affecting
them
and
our
family
did
have
covet.
Even
though
we've
been
in
a
mass
mandate
since

due
to
suffocation.
Concerns
and
no
surrounding
counties
are
not
masking.
Kids
under
five
for
developing
toddler
masks
are
a
big
deal.
The
world
health
organization
has
never
recommended
masking
kids
under
five
because
they're
at
the
highest
risk
for
learning,
loss
and
language
development
issues.
AO
We've
already
heard
how
speech
therapists,
referrals
are
skyrocketing
from
pediatricians
and
how
younger
children
have
suffered
cognitive
decline
over
the
last
two
years.
Speech,
literacy
and
cognitive
issues
will
plague
toddlers
like
mine
for
the
rest
of
their
lives,
limiting
their
potential
for
future
success
and
for
what
our
cases
have
followed
the
same
trajectory
as
mass
optional
areas
in
our
state
and
across
the
country.
During
the
sonoma
congress
surge,
my
two-year-old
son
got
coveted
despite
being
in
a
mass-mandated
county.
He
recovered
fully
within
48
hours.
AO
Thankfully,
our
kids
under
five
are
at
the
lowest
risk
for
severe
outcomes
from
covid
much
lower
than
the
risk
of
a
vaccinated
adult
dropping
a
mask
on
and
covering
the
face
of
my
covered,
recovered
two-year-old
for
eight
hours
a
day
in
daycare
is
unscientific
and
cruel
fathers.
His
age
are
in
the
throes
of
building
critical,
verbal
and
nonverbal
communication
skills,
socio-emotional
skills
and
empathy
foundational
things
that
they
need
to
grow
into
complete
and
productive
members
of
our
society.
They
cannot
do
this
properly
with
their
faces
covered.
AO
Seeing
faces
is
the
norm
for
pediatric
development,
so
the
burden
of
proof
is
on
the
intervention,
and
we
have
to
be
intellectually
honest
about
the
lack
of
credible
data
to
support
it.
It's
been
nearly
two
years.
We
have
the
data
and
we
were
wrong.
It's
not
appropriate
to
mandate
an
intervention
when
the
benefits
are
unclear
and
the
harms
are
non-zero.
AO
It's
not
a
developmentally
appropriate
ask
it
never
has
been,
and
it's
not
now
it's
time
to
not
let
pride
or
politics
dictate
our
decisions
and
let
our
youngest
least
vulnerable
to
covid,
but
most
vulnerable
to
restrictions
and
changes
in
their
environment
suffer
because
adults
are
unwilling
to
admit
their
mistakes.
We
need
to
repeal
public
health
order,
2021
07,
requiring
masks
on
kids
and
child
care
settings
effective
immediately.
Your
proposed
amendment
will
decimate
day,
cares
in
this
county
and
we
will
pull
our
kids
and
put
them
in
other
counties.

AP
We've
seen
all
the
school
districts
around
the
country,
but
we've
also
seen
countries
like
the
uk
removing
these
mandates.
Netherlands,
denmark,
it's
happening
all
around
the
world
and
if
you
guys
want
to
be
on
the
right
side
of
history,
I
strongly
recommend
that
you
listen
to
every
single
comment
that's
been
given
here
tonight.
AP
AQ
AQ
We
need
to
get
together
as
a
loud
voice
and
let
you
know
what
we
think.
First
of
all,
there
have
always
been
pandemics.
This
is
not
the
first
one.
We
even
knew
exactly
what
was
going
to
happen.
An
exercise
by
the
federal
government
called
a
crimson
contagion
exercise
showed
exactly
this
scenario,
and
yet
we
were
unprepared.
AQ
As
I
look
back
in
the
last
two
and
a
half
years,
I'm
extremely
impressed
with
two
things:
one
that
we
were
able
to
develop
a
vaccine,
an
effective
vaccine
in
such
a
short
period
of
time.
I'm
also
impressed
with
when
the
coronal
virus
task
force
stood
before
the
american
people
every
evening,
for
nearly
six
weeks
ex
the
president
vice
president
and
doctors,
fauci
and
and
bricks
stood
unmasked
and
explained
to
us
what
we
needed
to
do
and
to
say
this.
The
american
people
did
respond.
AQ
We
now
have
an
effective
vaccine,
but
this
is
experimental,
but
it
is
able
to
protect
our
vulnerable
population
and
most
of
the
vulnerable
population
up
to
98
to
99
have
taken
the
vaccine,
but
now
some
public
health
agencies
are
mandating
vaccination
for
children.
Why
sars
kov2
has
only
a
minuscule
impact
on
our
children
and
young
people?
The
vaccine
is
experimental
with
increasing
evidence
that
may
show
that
it's
still
a
terrorist
has
a
deleterious
effect
on
our
children.
AQ
In
a
recent
study
java
noted
a
significant
incidence
of
mild
and
pericarditis
in
young
people,
inconsistent
and
irrational
mandates
have
destroyed
the
trust
in
important
public
health
institutions.
There
will
be
another
pandemic.
We
need
public
health
institutions
that
have
credibility.
Mandates
are
not
the
way.
Instead,
as
the
chronovirus
task
force
did
stand
before,
the
people
explain
the
problem
and
outline
what
is
what
needs
to
be
done?
Trust
in
their
leaders
is
the
best
way
to
elicit
compliance.
G
P
You,
oh
oh
gosh.
I've
never
done
this
before.
So
I'm
a
little
bit
confused
anyways.
You
know
I'm
listening
to
all
these
these
comments
and
I
really
didn't
prepare
a
whole
lot
this
evening
and
you
know
my
husband
really
wanted
to
be
here
to
speak
tonight.
He
is
an
anesthesiologist
at
saint
anthony
north
and
we
have
been
saying
what
these
people
are
saying
for
the
last
two
years
I
mean
10
000
in
agreement
I
mean
the
man
manages
airways
and
and
he's
he.
P
P
I
think
keeping
them
asked
literally
broke
my
heart.
I
don't
know
about
you,
but
when
I
was
listening
to
the
woman
with
the
baby,
in
the
background,
like
literally
tears,
came
to
my
eyes.
What
more
do
you
want?
I
let
the
littles
just
be
unmasked
and
be
themselves
it's
over.
It's
truly
over
and
the
other
thing
I
want
to
say,
and
I
was
hoping
that
folks
would
actually
say
this
as
well
speak
after
me,
what's
up
with
the
25th
like
it
literally
takes
a
second
to
to
take
a
mask
off.
P
What's
signage,
what
is
signage
really
just
drop?
It
be
done
with
it.
None
of
this.
Oh,
we
got
to
make
preparations.
We
need
signage
come
on.
That
is
idiotic
and
it
actually
to
me
it's
kind
of
comical.
So
I
I
don't
know,
I
think
you
all
need
to
drop
the
signage
and
just
move
on
and
remove
it
as
soon
as
possible
for
all
children,
no
matter
what
age
they
are,
particularly
for
the
kids
under
five
honestly
they're,
the
ones
that
need
it.
P
G
S
S
I've
served
my
country
in
vietnam
in
the
army
nurse
corps,
as
well
as
I've
served
people
in
boulder
for
the
last
30
years
and
there's
a
just
a
couple
points
I
want
to
elaborate
on
because
I
think
there
was
a
couple
pieces
of
confusing
information,
so
I'm
just
going
to
state
those
two
pieces
in
2020.
As
we
know,
dr
fauci
stated,
the
mask
have
little
to
no
efficacy
against
viral
infections.
Why?
And
as
many
a
couple
of
the
speakers
already
stated,
mass
do
not
work
against
viruses,
because
the
viruses
are
too
small.
S
S
S
You
all
heard
the
harm
it's
doing
to
our
children.
We
should
be
appalled,
one
other
piece
about
viral
spread,
which
seems
to
be
confusing
as
well.
Harvard
harvey
reisch
md
phd
virologist
from
the
yale
school
of
public
health
february
2022
study
demonstrates
a
mask,
have
not
slowed
the
transmission
of
cova-19
virus.
The
viruses,
like
influenza,
cannot
be
controlled
by
masking
the
healthy
population.
S
Additionally,
the
pandemic
is
over.
We
are
an
endemic
phase.
There
is
no
emergency
order
in
place
by
our
governor.
There
is
no
really
scientific
reason
to
continue
this
masking
policies,
particularly
of
our
children,
that
have,
as
everybody
has
stated,
less
than
a
.01
fatality
rate.
So
I
urge
you
all
to
really
follow
the
science
and
stop
with
all
this
craziness
that
you
put
upon
us.
S
AR
Perfect
all
right,
thank
you
so
much
for
holding
this
meeting
and
letting
us
take
the
time
to
give
some
comments.
I
my
name
is
james
chestnut,
I'm
a
resident
of
boulder
I've
lived
here
for
I
moved
here
just
before
the
pandemic
started
before
the
original
outbreak.
I
moved
here
from
denver
and
I
am
absolutely
delighted
to
hear
really
the
unanimous,
absolutely
unanimous,
support
of
lifting
these
mandates
and
ending
these
public
health
orders.
AR
AR
AR
As
everybody
said,
if
people
want
to
wear
masks,
if
that
makes
them
feel
more
comfortable,
it
maybe
helps
slightly
for
some
folks,
but
ultimately
it's
it's
not
helping
the
issue
and
to
hear
what's
happened
to
the
kids
and
the
anecdotes
from
the
parents
tonight
that's
been.
The
majority
of
comments
is
how
hard
this
is
on
kids
and
their
development
and
their
speech.
It's
it's
clear
that
we
can't
continue
having
masking
for
kids
it.
It
is
abuse
of
the
children
and
and
their
development.
You
know
we,
we
have
a
baseline
immunity.
AR
Now
boulder
county
was
one
of
the
first
areas
of
the
country
to
have
a
community
spread
of
omicron,
as
evidenced
in
our
wastewater,
and
this
was
this
happened
after
the
mass
mandate
went
into
effect
in
fall
last
year,
so
that
again
is
evidence
that
the
masking
is
not
working.
The
fact
that
somebody
provided
a
figure
that
no
one
under
30
in
boulder
county
has
died
of
cobit,
and
so
you
take
all
of
that.
AR
Knowing
that
we
have
immunity
now
in
our
community
and
you
think
about
the
mental
health
impact
that
masking
is
having
on
kids,
especially
but
all
of
us
as
adults
and
our
connection
to
each
other
in
the
community,
it's
just
clearly
time
that
these
mandates
need
to
end
and
I'm
glad
that
the
director
has
recommended
that
we
lift
the
mandates,
and
I
stand
in
solidarity
with
everybody
else
who
has
spoken
tonight
that
we
need
to
end
these
mandates
now.
Don't
wait
just
end
them
as
soon
as
possible.
AR
Z
Z
Z
I'm
presuming
that
during
tonight's
session
there
will
be
a
vote
that
ends
boco's
mask
order,
including
for
my
five-year-old
daughter
when
she's
in
our
preschool
and
finally
aligns
us
with
the
rest
of
the
world.
So
my
comment
is
going
to
be.
In
regards
to
the
future
bluntly,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
our
health
department
is
never
able
to
do
something
like
this
to
its
res
to
the
residents
of
boulder
county
again
for
those
of
us
who
have
followed
the
science
and
the
data
of
this
pandemic.
Z
Everyone
here
knows
we're
living
with
sars
kobe
2
forever.
At
least.
I
hope
everyone
knows
that
by
now
and
fundamentally
we
know
that
once
we
are
no
longer
immune
naive
to
an
evolving
respiratory
virus,
either
via
vaccination
or
previous
infection,
the
worst
thing
we
can
do
is
try
to
completely
avoid
all
exposures
to
it.
We
need
the
exposures
to
the
virus
in
order
to
build
and
maintain
strong,
robust
immunity
to
it.
This
is
not
a
controversial
take
in
the
science
of
immunology
and
infectious
disease.
Z
It's
a
fundamental
understanding
that
we
have
had
for
decades
before
sardis
kov2
arrived,
and
it's
why
we
don't
fear
the
flu
each
winter,
because
we
let
our
immune
systems
receive
exposures
to
it
and
our
immune
systems
use
that
knowledge
to
build
protection
against
it.
Our
amazing
vaccines
have
provided
us
with
the
gift
that
makes
it
safe
for
us
to
move
on
with
covid
like
this
so
going
forward.
Z
Since
there's
no
reason
for
us
to
ever
do
this
again,
I
would
like
assurances
from
the
board
that
you
won't
let
it
happen
again
and
using
enforced
masking
as
an
incentive
for
adoption
of
your
vas
vex
vaccination.
Verification
program
like
you've
done
especially
in
a
community
with
such
a
high
vaccination
rate,
is
frankly
disgusting.
You
should
be
ashamed
for
that.
AB
G
Is
up?
Thank
you
great.
Thank
you.
It
looks
like
we
lost
jessica,
so
I'm
gonna
read
a
few
more
names.
If
you
can,
please
raise
your
hands:
travis
starling
courtney,
blanco,
jessa,
ellenberg,
okay
and
I
do
see
travis
so
courtney
and
jessa.
If
you
could
okay
great,
I
see
jess
as
well
so
travis.
Your
three
minutes
will
start
now
and
jessa.
You
will
be
on
deck.
AS
G
AS
W
AS
Okay,
well,
I
gotta
say
that
a
lot
of
the
stuff
that
we've
gone
over
here
is
is
pretty
much
spot
on
as
well.
So
I
won't
take
up
too
much
time
with
that.
I
do
want
to
address
that.
It's
clear
from
seeing
about
60
minutes
of
of
presentations
of
numbers,
just
to
convince
yourselves
that
you're
on
the
right
track.
That's
a
little
worrying!
That's
called
confirmation
bias
and
it's
it's
been
troublesome
throughout
the
pandemic
and
it's
clear
that
it's
an
issue
with
this
health
department.
AS
I
really
encourage
you
to
take
a
look
at
what
confirmation
bias
is
how
it
manifests
itself
and
why
you
guys
might
have
an
issue
with
that,
because
we've
gotten
a
lot
of
information
from
a
lot
of
people
here
and
it's
pretty
much
the
opposite
of
what
you
guys
are
presenting.
I
don't
know
who
you've
talked
to,
but
that's
certainly
not
the
consensus
we
have
here
tonight.
As
far
as
the
mixed
review,
I
also
just
want
to
touch
on
some
other
things
to
yeah.
You
guys
need
to
be
in
person.
This
is
ridiculous.
AS
Everyone
went
back
to
work
last
week
or
last
year.
Sorry,
you
guys
need
to
get
in
person
and
get
with
the
times
hiding
online
on
zoom.
That
needs
to
end
also
just
some.
Let's
establish
some
backs.
We
have
the
same
code
here
as
we
do
anywhere
else.
Boulder
county
has
had
one
of
the
longest,
if
not
the
longest
mandates
of
any
county
in
colorado
and
our
transmission
rates
are
in
line
with
any
other
county
in
the
state
just
about
even
counties
that
have
had
no
mandates.
Let's
be
absolutely
clear.
AS
The
current
mandates
from
this
board
that
we're
discussing
now
have
had
no
measurable
impact
on
transmission
in
the
community,
not
a
bit.
You
cannot
point
to
a
drop
in
cases
at
a
time
when
mandates
went
into
effect.
It
does
not
exist.
Unfortunately,
this
board
is
totally
committed
to
making
the
data
work
for
them
and
their
confirmation
bias.
Anyone
willing
to
look
at
the
data
knows
the
mandates
haven't
panned
out
and
that's
okay.
We
tried
something,
it
didn't
work
out.
That's
fine.
AS
This
board
should
recognize
that
with
some
humility
for
the
first
time
when
this
unelected
appointed
board
first
enacted
mandates,
I
followed
along
because
it
seemed
like
it
made
sense.
There
wasn't
any
data
at
the
time
things
have
changed.
What
I've
witnessed
from
this
board
the
last
year
is
that
when
the
science
began
to
evolve
around
your
mandates,
you
tensed
up
and
doubled
down.
Science
speak
down,
because
this
is
boulder
right
frankly,
this
board's
lost
a
significant
amount
of
public
trust
from
the
community.
AS
As
you
proudly
proclaim
on
your
orders,
your
mandates
are
grounded
in
colorado
law
with
a
5,
000
fine
and
a
year
and
a
half
in
jail
a
year
and
a
half
you've
turned
a
serious
provision
of
the
law
for
public
protection
and
safety
into
a
mockery.
Imagine
the
next
public
health
crisis
anything
remotely
worse
than
cobit.
The
community's
frustration
with
this
board's
failure
to
recognize
the
basic
concept
of
morbidity
versus
case

you're

AS
AT
AT
AU
My
name
is
sam
and
I
am
nine
years
old
and
I
really
want
masks
to
go
away
because
it's
really
annoying
because
me
and
my
friend
we
were
just
sitting
under
tables,
doing
work
and
then
this
teacher
came
in
and
told
us.
We
were
gonna
go
to
the
principal's
office
because
we
had
our
mask
below
our
nose
and
I
really
didn't
like
that.
I
just
didn't
want
it
to
happen
again
and
I
wanted
math
to
go
away.
So
she
couldn't
say
that
to
us.
AU
AB
AB
It's
been
a
busy
night
for
me,
but
I
want
to
say
I
thought
that
I
heard
leaving
masks
in
place
for
two
to
five-year-olds,
and
that
is
bizarre.
If
that
is
the
case,
it
should
be
a
choice
for
everybody,
regardless
of
age,
and
the
fact
that
it
was
mandated
for
two-year-olds
and
three-year-olds
in
the
first
place
is
beyond
cruel.
We
are
going
to
see
the
ramifications
of
that
for
a
generation
and
it's
soul
crushing
to
those
kids.
AB
It
is
heartbreaking,
but
it
is
also
heartening
hardening
as
a
parent,
to
realize
that
we
have
much
more
power
at
home
empowers
the
collective
and
I
believe
you
are
seeing
that
the
collective
power
of
parents
tonight.
Thank
you
parents
for
speaking
up.
Thank
you,
boulder
parents
for
coming
together
for
school
districts
to
show
that
we
care
about
our
kids
immensely,
which
is
why
we
choose
a
good
district
like
boulder
valley
and
the
schools
in
it.
AB
For
our
kids,
we
have
amazing
teachers
for
the
most
part
who
truly
care,
but
it's
been
really
awful
to
see
the
power
trip
gone
on
the
power
trip
taken
on
by
so
many.
We
can
only
hope
that
this
is
this
is
leading.
This
is
going
away,
and
I
hope
so
many
parents
send
their
kids
to
school,
able
to
breathe
freely
starting
tomorrow.
AB
AV
Okay,
great
well,
everybody's,
really.
I
can't
believe
I'm
the
last
one
to
speak,
because
everybody's
pretty
much
said
what
I
was
going
to
say
as
well.
It
I'm
disheartened
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
to
see
the
data
coming
up,
and
I
I
seriously
questioned
where
some
of
that
came
from.
For
the
last
two
years.
I've
tried
to
understand
justifying
keeping
children
masked.
It
was
understandable
when
it
began,
but
we're
two
years
in
now,
and
we
know
so
much
more.
AV
Actually,
given
the
recent
graphs
of
the
covet
positive
cases
in
boulder
county
schools,
with
our
kids
now
masked
for
almost
two
years
with
almost
a
92
percent,
somewhat
vaccinated
population
to
see
a
spike
in
cases
shows
us
that
the
masks
are
not
effective
at
reducing
the
spread.
So
there's
your
data
if
they
were
there
would
not
have
been
a
spike
at
all.
AV
But
I'm
feeling
like
we're
completely
ignoring
the
fact
that
the
spike
happened
in
a
time
of
year
where
illness
spikes
anyway.
Furthermore,
I
don't
understand
why
this
board
has
completely
ignored
children.
Hospital's
announcement
that
there's
a
state
of
emergency
regarding
the
mental
health
of
our
children
in
colorado.
AV
They
have
seen
a
surge
like
they've,
never
seen
a
surgery
like
this
before
these
kids
are
full
of
fear
and
anxiety,
and
I
have
to
say,
shame
on
the
adults
that
have
permitted
this
to
continue
when
in
our
history,
have
we
ever
put
the
responsibility
on
the
kids
to
keep
adults
safe?
That
is
absolutely
absurd.
AV
I
am
a
former
early
education
teacher,
I'm
a
teacher
of
the
deaf
and
I
work
in
the
healthcare
area
today,
and
I
am
absolutely
appalled
that
there's
even
consideration
to
keep
our
youngest
still
masked.
It
is
inhibiting
their
language
development.
It
is
inhibiting
their
academic
growth,
it
is
inhibiting
their
social
emotional
development.
AV
I
agree
with
everybody:
why
are
you
waiting
to
ease
us
into
removing
masks
and
them
now?
You
can
do
it
in
a
day
just
like
you
did
putting
them
on
them.
We
weren't
eased
into
putting
on
masks.
We
didn't
ease
these
kids
into
masking.
We
told
them
you
had
to
have
a
mask.
They
were
in
a
mask
the
next
day.
Get
these
masks
off,
there's
absolutely
no
reason
to
keep
them
in
masks
until
the
25th,
I
believe
in
parent
choice.
AV
A
A
J
B
AK
A
A
A
A
You
know
before
we
talk
about
the
deliberation
process.
I
I
do
have
a
question
a
couple
and
and
if
we
don't
know
if
it
can
just
be
like
a
kind
of
yeah,
we
think
that's
right.
We
don't
need
the
exact
info,
but
when
we
implemented
the
mask
mandate
in
september,
that
was
a
monday
night
and
it
went
into
effect
on
friday,
correct.
A
And-
and
that
allowed
you
know
when
you're
standing
up
a
mass
mandate.
Obviously
you
do
have
to
think
about
things
like
signage,
and
you
know
all
those
kind
of
contingencies
for
your
staff
that
might
come
about
and
then
does
do
we
remember
how
long
when
we
made
the
decision
to
drop
the
mask
requirements
last
spring?
K
A
L
M
A
An
unmasked
so
like
last
year,
we
had,
we
dropped
a
mask
requirement
and
then,
unless
you
were
unvaccinated
in,
if
we
were
to
drop
the
mask
requirement
now,
what
would
be
the
policy
for
those
who
are
unvaccinated?
Would
it
still
be
mask
should
be
worn
by
those
who
are
not
vaccinated,
even
though
there's
really
no
way
to
ensure
compliance
with
that.
A
L
C
H
A
All
right,
sorry
about
it,
yeah,
I
think
that's
a
good
suggestion,
brooke,
let's,
let's
work
through
these
one
at
a
time
and
then
that
way
the
questions
don't
get
mixed
up
and
jumbled,
and
then
so
I
guess
I
would
say:
let's,
let's
talk
about
number
one,
and
I
think
the
other
thing
we
can
talk
about
is
the
date
and
timeline
as
part
of
that
right.
So
if
you
have
clarifying
questions,
that's
fine,
and
maybe
if
you
have
alternate
ideas
that
would
be
fine
to
bring
up
in
the
space
too.
C
C
A
B
A
D
E
Yeah,
I
generally
agree
that
everything
that
is
being
said
right
now.
I
I
am
supportive
of
removal
of
the
mandate
for
indoor
masking,
and
I
do
agree
that
after
and
I
thought
about
this
a
little
bit.
I
think
I
agree
with
the
recommendation
not
to
add
any
additional
requirements
to
the
healthcare
setting
in
light
of
this
decision.
I
do
think
that
particularly
our
systems
will
make
those
decisions
on
their
own,
based
on
the
input
we're
getting.
E
I
I
would
like
in
terms
of
the
timeline
I
know
we're
all
eager
potentially
to
move
this
particular
policy
forward.
I
also
just
want
to
recognize
that
there
are
a
lot
of
people
out
there
where
this
will
be
a
shift
and
potentially
make
them
uncomfortable,
and
we
have
not
heard
those
voices
tonight,
but
they
are
out
there,
and
so
I
would
propose
that
we
do
give
it
a
few
days
so
that
businesses
and
individuals
can
get
their
minds
wrapped
around
it.
B
Yeah
thanks
lindy
for
offering
that,
because
I
I
know
and
have
heard
from
several
people
who
are
very
worried
about
this,
and
I
have
empathy
for
those
in
the
community
who
are
vulnerable
or
live
with
somebody
who
is
vulnerable.
So
I
appreciate
that,
and
one
thought
that
I
had
is
just
you
know:
how
can
we
support
getting
high
quality
mass
to
those
folks
who
might
be
vulnerable
and
and
might
have
trouble
accessing
those?
So
I
just
don't
know
if
that's
a
something
that
our
staff
can
assist
on.
B
I
know
there
have
been
several
articles
out
there
about
how
to
look
for
high
quality
mass
or
how
to
tell
if
there
are
fake
ones
that
you're
buying
online.
But
I
I
just
you
know
again
from
an
equity
standpoint.
How
do
we
ensure
that
folks,
in
our
community
have
access
to
that
information
and
then
to
the
mass
themselves,
who
want
to
continue
to
protect
themselves
and
their
vulnerable
family
members.
F
A
A
F
Yes,
sir,
thank
you
so
vice
president
macmillan,
we
have.
There
are
several
programs
out
there
right
now
that
provide
free
medical
grade,
masks
to
the
community
and
and
even
at
libraries,
for
example,
they're
being
given
away
and
in
many
of
our
outreach
moments
to
the
community
where
we
meet
with
municipal
managers
and
law
enforcement,
we're
always
pushing
out
those
messages,
and
then
we
do
so
as
well
on
our
website
and
can
increase
the
communication
post
any
decision
you
make
to
tailor
it
to
that
particular
service.
F
B
Sorry
before
I
don't
want
to
cut
you
off
just
to
ensure
that
those
materials
are
also
translated
into
other
languages
for
our
community
residents,
and
then
you
know
again,
I
know
that
we've
I've
seen
them
being
distributed,
but
I
know
like
the
boulder
library
ran
out
of
their
masks
really
quickly
and
then
you
know
they
couldn't
get
more
for
a
little
while.
So
I
just
mindful
of
that,
the
challenges,
even
if
they
are
being
distributed.
How
can
we
kind
of
keep
up
with
that
demand?.
F
F
If
I
may
did
I
answer
your
question
now.
I
wanted
to
answer
the
other
question
that
the
membership
had
about
the
stand
down
of
the
previous
order,
the
masking
order
and
the
timing
and-
and
I
did
locate
some
information-
it
went
into
effect
in
mid-may
of
last
year
and
then
was
stood
down
on
june
10th
by
announcement.
So
there
was
not
a
sort
of
a
a
segway
or
a
time
to
stand
down.
There
was
an
announcement
that
it
stood
down.
AQ
D
I
agree
I
was
going
to
say
that
in
I'm,
I'm
glad
to
to
hear
that
that
was
the
case,
because
that
was
sort
of
what
I
was
recalling
and
with
regard
to
member
lindy,
what
you
said,
I
think
people
can
still
absolutely
wear
masks
and
businesses
can
still
implement
whatever
masking
requirements
they
they
wish
and
based
on
the
cdphe
unvaccinated
individuals
should
still
wear
masks.
Obviously,
that's
not
enforceable
in
any
meaningful
way,
but
I
I
still
think
the
people
can
broadly
be
masked
if
we
rescind
it
tonight
in
real
time,
yeah.
A
F
F
A
A
C
A
But
we
could
leave
a
public
health
order
for
masking
and
healthcare
facilities.
It
just
doesn't
sound
like
that's
where
board
members
want
to
go,
let
them
let
them
develop
their
because
they're
going
to
have
their
own
policies
right,
and
so
I
don't
think
anybody
is
going
to
be
surprised
if
they
go
to
a
health
facility
and
see
requirement
for
masks.
Baxter
unboxed.
A
A
A
So
in
essence,
you
know
people
might
have
known
a
few
days
or
maybe
even
a
month
in
advance,
but
there
was
no
like
informational
campaign
like
you,
don't
have
to
wear
your
mask
in
72
hours.
You
know
so
so
the
question
would
be
okay,
knowing
that
if
we
rescind
for
healthcare
settings,
folks
are
going
to
need
a
little
bit
of
time
to
just
kind
of
create
their
notification
signage
whatever
it
is
policy,
so
my
my
thought
is.
A
D
A
D
Okay,
because
I
I
think
you
could
phrase
it
in
such
a
way
that
it's
lifted
immediately
for
other
businesses
and
then
maybe
until
that
date
to
give
so
just
so
that
to
protect
the
the
ers
and
and
other
places
where
okay
guys
might
come
in
irate.
Given
that
they've
been
told,
they
don't
have
to
wear
a
mask
but
then
allow
those
facilities.
J
H
E
Yeah,
I'm
just
I
I
I
I'm
just
not
clear
that
we
should
rush
through
this
immediately.
I
think-
and
I
know
this
is
split
in
here,
so
I
will
not
fall
on
my
sword,
but
I
do
think
it's
important
that
we
give
the
public
some
time
to
understand
that
this
decision
has
been
made
clear
to
the
confusion
just
as
much
as
there
was
a
comment
made
earlier
about
aligning
the
dates
which
I
want
to
talk
about
in
a
second,
the
next
public
health
order.
E
C
B
J
A
A
So
with
the
date
that's
proposed
we're
really
talking
about
four
days
of
in-school
additional
mask
wearing,
while
the
general
indoor
requirement
was
has
dropped
right
and
at
least
in
the
k
through
12
before
omicron
hit.
We
had
you
know
we
had
numerous
case
investigations.
That
said,
the
exposure
came
from
outside
of
the
classroom,
not
all
right
but
numerous,
and
so
those
extra
four
days,
if,
if
I
was
what
I
was
thinking,
is
as
of
1201
am
february
22nd,
because
we
do
need
time
to
notify
parents
to
notify
the
teachers.
A
A
C
Yeah,
I
I
think
that
I
think
two
weeks
is
too
long
to
expect
people
to
adhere
to
masking
in
schools.
If,
if
we
vote
today
to
rescind
and
if
the
universal
masking
mandate
goes
away
on
the
18th
so
for
k
through
12,
I
would
like
to
see
them
both
done.
At
the
same
time,
it'll
eliminate
confusion
it
as
many
commenters
mentioned,
and
I
think
it
will
also
ease
enforcement,
and
that
still
gives
schools
five
days
four
four
days,
and
then
I
guess
the
weekend.
C
L
D
F
I,
and
if
I
may,
just
just
to
that
point
it
it's
the
timing
of
your
decisions
and
providing
us
the
ability
to
tailor
that
public
health
advisory,
which
would
strongly
recommend
masking
and
other
activities,
would
be
much
appreciated
that
that's
that's
a
consideration.
I'd
like
you
to
humbly
take
in
as
well.
Thank
you.
A
A
A
J
D
D
They
don't
wear
them
while
eating
they
are
much
closer
and
in
each
other's
faces,
even
with
the
masks
on
and
it's
true
that
they
are
not
the
most
vulnerable
population.
You
know,
I
think,
a
strongly
worded
statement
that
would
be
sufficient
to
allow
child
care
centers
to
make
their
own
policies
would
be
appropriate.
That
would
allow
families
to
work
with
each
center
come
to
an
agreement
and
make
decisions
about
where
to
where
to
have
their
children
based
on
how
they
feel
about
the
mask
policy
would
be
appropriate.
D
I
think
there
is
some
very
reasonable
evidence
that
there's
been
a
huge
uptick
in
speech,
delay
and
referrals
to
speech
centers.
I
think
there
is
something
there
that's
real,
and
it
is
true
that
the
who
has
not
advocated
for
wearing
masks
under
age
five
and,
along
with
your
statement,
greg.
I
think
it's
a
little
inconsistent
with
the
surrounding
communities
to
continue
to
require
masks
under
age
five.
I
think
it
should
be
consistent
with
all
of
the
children
all
the
schools.
C
Yeah,
I
agree
with
what
landry
has
said
about
aligning
with
the
other
groups
as
well.
I
do
think
the
eces
should
also
the
date
should
be
re.
The
rescind
date
should
align
with
the
other
dates
as
well
to
eliminate
confusion.
You
know
the
bulk
of
the
the
bulk
of
the
complaints
that
we
have
had
since
we
put
in
this
mask
mandate
have
been
about
the
two
plus
mask
requirement
and
the
continual
quarantines
for
for
daycares
and
other
early
childhood
centers,
and
I
don't
think
we
can.
We
can
ignore
that
any
at
all.
C
Also,
the
assertion
from
staff
that
a
lot
of
the
ece
cases
were
coming
from
within
the
eces
does
suggest
that
the
the
masks
are
not
effective
in
that
setting
they're,
either
cloth
masked
they're,
not
being
worn
correctly
they're
dirty
everything
that
was
brought
up
by
the
public
commenters
also.
We
are
definitely
gambling
on
the
impact
of
childhood
development.
C
With
this
you
know,
we've
only
had
two
years,
so
we
don't
have
enough
time
to
have
done
any
great
longitudinal
studies.
Yet
I
mean
our
longitudinal
studies
are
all
compared
at
a
single
point
in
time
for
a
two-year-old
versus
those
in
the
past,
and
we
are
seeing
things
that
are
concerning
and
so
continuing
to
mask
that
two
to
four
year
old
population
is
a
big
gamble
that
we're
taking
and,
and
I'm
not
I'm
not
willing
to
vote
for
that
gamble.
C
B
I
I
I
hear
all
that
I
I
also
have
an
under
five
kid.
I've
got
a
three-year-old
who's
not
yet
able
to
be
vaccinated,
and
you
know
I
I
think,
although
I
totally
hear
that
that
it
is
not
the
highest
risk
population,
there
still
are
a
lot
of
parents
who
are
very
concerned
about
having
unvaccinated
kids
and
the
exposure.
B
B
It
is
really
really
hard
to
change
daycare
and
to
do
it
quickly,
and
so,
if
we
rescind
and
I'm
not
saying
I'm
against
resenting,
I'm
just
I'm
saying
this
is
a
really
hard
one
for
me.
If
we
rescind
the
mask
order
and
then
the
daycare
you
know,
daycares
make
their
own
decisions,
then
parents
who
decide
that
they
are
not
comfortable
with
the
individual
daycare.
B
So
that's
that's
my
big
concern
around
the
ece
thing
and
again
I
hear
all
of
the
public
comments
about
the
concerns
about
masking
young
kids
and-
and
I
I
hear
that,
and
so
anyway,
that's
that's
my
struggle,
though
I
think
I
think
it's
just
important
to
remember
that
it
is
we
leave
it
up
to
parents.
It
is
very
hard
to
change
daycares
on
a
dime,
it's
almost
impossible
to
change
day
of
care
on
a
dime,
so
I
think
that
needs
to
be
part
of
the
conversation.
A
I
hear
that
morgan,
you
know
I
mean
I
think
it's
important
to
point
out
that
in
mid-january
the
0-11
group
was
the
fourth
highest
in
the
number
of
positive
cases
right,
and
so
you
know
anytime
anybody's
test
positive
they're
generally.
Well,
that's
not
good
right,
because
you
never
know
what's
going
to
happen,
and
so
it's
not
that
yes,
I
get
hospitalizations
are
perhaps
much
lower
percentage
once
you
have
a
positive
test
and
certainly
deaths
are
even
lower
than
that.
A
E
F
F
The
the
biggest
rationale
for
this
recommendation
was
the
accessibility
of
this
group
to
vaccinations
and
therefore
that
was
one
of
the
reasons
for
the
recommended
slowdown.
In
addition,
alignment
with
our
head
start
partners
who
have
a
federal
mass
mandate
that
they
must
comply
with
if
I've
forgotten
anything
else,
dr
nolan
or
trina.
Please
do
jump
in.
M
For
number
one,
I
don't
think
I
have
anything
else
to
add.
I
think
you
know
what
what
little
I
was
able
to
hear
from
the
healthcare
providers
I
contacted.
I
think
just
what
has
been
said
also
in
public
comment
that
I
think
healthcare
settings
will
develop
their
own
guidance
and
are
comfortable
doing
that
and
then
for
for
number
two
also.
M
M
M
A
J
A
A
A
A
A
C
A
A
D
I
feel
for
the
parents
too,
and
I
totally
agree
with
morgan,
that
it's
really
hard
to
change
daycares.
I
guess
I'd
just
reiterate
that
I
don't
think
children
wear
them
that
effectively
and
children
haven't
the
under
five
crowd,
hasn't
truly
been
shown
to
be
disseminating
this
throughout
the
community.
C
C
M
B
Sorry
yeah,
I
just
I
thanks.
I
just
want
to
go
on
the
record
one
more
time
and
say
that
this
is
really
hard.
It
is
really
hard-
and
I
I
you
know
we
hear
from
people
all
across
the
spectrum
on
these
and
and
we
care
about
all
of
you
and
we
care
about
our
community
and
we
care
about
keeping
in
particular
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
community
safe.
B
E
There's
not
enough
evidence
to
suggest
that
that
holding
back
the
under
fives
makes
sense
from
a
masking
perspective,
given
all
the
dialogue
that
has
happened
this
evening,
but
it
does
not
mitigate
the
fact
that
this
is
a
very
hard
decision,
with
consequences
for
parents
and
for
kids.
So
thanks
for
all
the
styling,
I
think
it's
really
critical.
A
D
Yeah,
I
I
think
it
will
just
further
confusion
for
the
especially
for
the
younger
set
it
when
in
this
month,
if
we
don't
consider
ece
until
the
next
board
meeting,
if
the
little
little
under
five
population
has
to
wear
masks,
and
no
one
else
is
the
only
potential
problem
I
do
see
is
the
head
start.
So
I
wonder
if
anyone
has
insight
into
when
that
will
be
considered
the
head
start
policy
at
the
federal
level.
A
A
F
If
I
may
jump
in
president
thomas,
I
know
that
I
think
you
had
alluded
to
also
needing
to
perhaps
vote
on
number
three
on
this
slide
and
to
limit
confusion
and
and
to
acknowledge
the
amazing
discussions
and
public
comment
and
the
length
of
this
evening.
We
do
not
have
to
vote
on
number
three.
It
was
simply
for
your
understanding
that
we
would
issue
an
advisory
with
strong
recommendations
and
strong
language
for
the
community
to
lean
on
and
support
those
actions
oriented
to
continuing
to
prevent
community
spread.
F
B
B
E
Sorry
and
just
I
wanted
to
comment
on
the
advisory
I
just
wanted
to.
You
know
for
the
record
state
that
the
advisory
was
actually
very
critical
in
my
decision
on
both
number
one
and
number
two
in
our
votes.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that's
very
clear.
I
do
think
there
are
people
in
our
community
that
feel
vulnerable
and
we
support
them
in
all
the
right
ways
from
a
public
health
perspective,
and
this
is
not
mitigating
the
need
to
take
care
and
pay
attention
to
this
advisory,
particularly
in
high
transmission
times.
C
I
think
my
only
concern
around
the
advisory
is.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
it
is
not
misconstrued
as
a
public
health
order,
and
so
I
would
prefer
just
to
throw
in
my
two
cents.
I
would
prefer
if
the
advisory
stayed
more
high
level
and
still
still
captured
what
lindy
mentioned,
where
we
do
emphasize
the
efficacy
of
especially
kn,
95
and
n95,
masks
and
encourage
the
use
of
masks
during
substantial
and
high
transmission.
C
However,
I
I
would
not
be
I
I
don't
think
it
needs
to
include
the
specifics
on
the
former
orders,
around
schools
or
eces
and
even
around
public
health
facilities.
I
think
it's
better
to
just
refer
to
the
cdc
guidance
as
a
guidepost
for
that.
Otherwise
it
runs
the
risk
of
looking
too
much
like
a
public
health
order,
which
is
not
what
we're
going
for.
D
A
Yeah
and
that
that's
an
important
point
that
did
come
up
and
we've
seen
this,
what
for
at
least
four
different
times
now,
no
matter
how
much
we
want
covet
19
to
go
away,
it
doesn't
necessarily
adhere
to
to
our
desires,
and
so
I
heard
well,
you
know
we
can't
ever
do
this
again.
It's
like
hey,
you
know
we
might
be
back
down
that
road.
Hopefully
we
won't.
Hopefully,
omicron
was
the
last
weight
now
regarding
the
public
health
orders
that
were
in
effect
since
september.
A
You,
if
you
remember,
we
put
those
public
health
orders
in
place
due
to
the
increasing
caseload
from
the
delta
variant.
We
had
no
knowledge
of
the
omicron
bearing
and
you
saw
what
happened
from
mid
december
to
the
end
of
january
and
so
to
say
that.
Well,
you
know
it's,
it's
not
not
important.
I
mean
that
was
something
that
came
and
went
during
this
order
and
sure
a
lot
of
people
unfortunately
got
infected
and
combined
with
the
high
vaccination
rates
in
boulder
county
sure.
C
Yeah
and
just
part
of
you
know
not
necessarily
putting
the
previous
public
health
orders,
though
into
the
advisory,
is
to
acknowledge
that
things
do
change
and
so
based
on
colorado,
public
health
and
cbc
guidance.
There's
a
good
chance
that
our
future,
if
there
is
a
future
public
health
order
on
masking
it,
could
be
very
different
than
what
we
have
right
now
again.
So
just
it
leaves
us
open
to
be
more
flexible
and
it
doesn't
look
like
a
like
an
order.
A
All
right:
well,
thank
you,
everybody
for
your
time
on.
We
are,
we
still
have
agenda
items
to
proceed
through,
but
for
all
the
members
of
the
public
that
provided
comment.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
All.
Those
who
wrote
in
as
well
certainly
unprecedented
public
comment
period
for
this
board
meeting
so
kudos
to
everyone.
A
F
AW
I
am
thank
you
so
much
camille
hi
and
thank
you
board
members.
We
really
do
appreciate
greatly
the
public
and
your
stressing
of
child
import
of
child
health
importance,
and
so
I'm
from
the
family
health
division
and
we
focus
on
the
healthy
development
of
children,
from
prenatal
on
up
and
so
here
to
talk
to
you
about
one
of
the
most
exciting
opportunities
to
support
local
child
health
and
the
raising
of
children
out
of
poverty
and
into
places
of
more
stability
and
better
food
security,
as
well
as
just
local
income,
etc.
AW
Is
natasha
stewart
she's
going
to
tell
us
about
the
child
tax
credit,
and
I
really
am
asking
you
all
as
board
members
to
help
us
get
the
word
out
to
all
of
your
networks
on
this,
because,
as
you
know,
tax
season
is
coming
up
and
there
are
many
people
out
there
who
would
benefit
from
this.
So
natasha
are
you
on
I'm
here.
AW
AX
AX
The
ctc
helps
reduce
childhood
poverty
by
as
much
as
forty
percent,
the
families
can
receive
up
to
thirty
six
hundred
dollars
per
child
under
the
age
of
six
and
three
thousand
dollars
for
six
to
seventeen-year-olds.
Previously,
the
child
tax
credit
was
two
thousand
dollars,
so
this
is
a
significant
increase.
AX
Families
do
not
need
to
have
an
income
to
apply
for
a
child
tax
credit.
The
cash
benefit
does
not
impact
other
benefits
like
snap,
tanf,
medicaid
or
housing.
It
also
does
not
affect
immigration
status.
Only
the
child
needs
a
social
security
number
as
long
as
the
parent
has
an
individual
taxpayer,
identification
number
or
itin.
AX
AX
J
AQ
B
AX
Yeah
you've
been
doing
that
we
did
a
lot
of
outreach,
outreach,
last
fall
and
federally
qualified
health,
centers
family
resource
centers,
child
care,
centers,
and
so
now
we're
doing
the
push
to
get
people
to
file
actually
file
their
taxes
to
get
the
second
half
of
that
child
tax
credit
payment
or
the
full
benefit
if
they
never
filed.
If
they
didn't
apply
for
ctc
in
the
fall.
A
AY
Anybody
hear
me:
okay,
yes,
good
evening
board,
my
name
is
joe
alanowski.
I
serve
as
environmental
health
division
manager
at
boulder
county
public
health
tonight
joining
me
is
also
bill.
Hayes
our
air
quality
and
healthy
homes,
program
coordinator
and
aaron
dodge
our
water
quality
program
coordinator
and
we're
here
to
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
about
the
work
that
we're
doing
around
the
marshall
fire,
especially
around
the
environmental
health
update
that
particular
work
as
we
recover
from
the
fire
help
the
community
recover
from
the
fire.
AY
I
think
this
picture
on
the
opening
slide
is
just
is
just
really
good.
Example
of
the
contrast
and
the
in
the
different
environmental
issues
that
we
see
on
this
site.
You
can
see
one
side
of
the
street
has
completely
burned
homes
and
that's
everything
in
the
home
that
include
all
the
hazardous
waste
that
could
have
been
in
the
home.
A
lot
of
these
homes
were
built
for
most
of
the
homes
were
built
before
1980.
They
all
had
lead-based
paint
that
could
be
lead
and
other
hazardous
waste.
AY
It
just
ends
up
getting
all
combined
together
in
this
ash.
So
all
the
concerns
about
the
ash.
In
this
area,
and
then
just
right
across
the
street
are
these
homes
that
aren't
burned
necessarily
but
still
have
been
inundated
by
soot
and
smoke
and
have
a
lot
of
questions
around
indoor
air
quality
also
have
wind
blown
ash.
AY
I
have
questions
around
that
as
well,
so
we're
spending
the
majority
of
our
time
really
trying
to
address
this
issue
because
you
think
about
right
now.
A
lot
of
this
is
stabilized
because
it's
it's
winter,
but
we
do
know
that
the
the
warmer
days
are
coming
and
the
wind
will
pick
up
and
we
worry
about
not
only
the
hazardous
waste
for
people
coming
in
talk
in
contact
with
the
ash,
but
also,
as
the
wind
blows,
the
particulates
and
partic,
and
particularly
interested
in
the
air
quality
in
the
area.
Next
slide.
AY
Please
so
just
the
key
points
that
you'll
hear
tonight
and
more
from
from
the
coordinators.
It's
just.
We
really
are
focused
on
the
air,
both
indoor
air
quality
issues,
water
quality
issues,
drinking
water
and
then
also
storm
water.
You
hear
some
more
about
that
and
just
really
trying
to
provide
post-fire
mitigation
and
cleanup
guidance
to
really
help
the
community
return
and
be
as
safe
as
possible
when
they're,
trying
to
rebuild
and
just
for
the
rebuilding
itself
without
further
ado,
could
have
the
next
slide.
Please
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
bill.
AA
AA
AA
What
they
were
able
to
conclude
was
they
weren't
seeing
levels
of
those
pollutants
any
higher
than
what
you
normally
see
in
a
large
urban
environment?
I
thought
that
really
put
it
in
good
context,
and
we
also
know
that
these
compounds
are
going
to
continue
dissipating
cdphe,
followed
up
two
weeks
later
driving
their
similar
air
monitoring
bands
through
the
burn
area.
It
was
right
after
a
snow
event
and
they
hardly
detected
any
vocs
above
background.
AA
They
are
planning
to
come
back
again
after
we
get
some
snowmelt
to
see
how
much
of
that
was
vocs
dissipating
and
how
much
was
snow.
Capping
those
vocs
so
vocs
at
this
time,
don't
appear
to
be
a
significant
concern
for
outdoor
air
quality.
What
we
are
concerned
about
is
the
particulate
pollution
as
the
snow
melts
the
ground
dries
winds,
pick
up.
We
are
expecting
the
ash
and
other
particulate
matter
to
get
resuspended
and
that
could
cause
us
us
some
concerns.
AA
The
week
after
the
fire,
we
were
able
to
get
deployed
six
particulate
air
monitors
throughout
the
burn
area.
I
look
at
those
multiple
times
a
day
and
so
far
we
haven't
seen
any
levels
of
particulate
higher
than
the
surrounding
areas
outside
the
burn
areas.
So
that's
that's
been
reassuring
but,
as
I
said,
we
expect
that
to
change
as
things
dry
out
so
currently
we're
in
the
process
of
ordering
an
additional
19
air
monitors
so
we'll
have
a
total
of
25
air
monitors
distributed
throughout
the
burn
area.
AA
AA
What
are
the
particulate
levels
that
will
also
allow
people
to
go
on
sign
up
for
alerts,
texts,
emails
to
tell
them
when
those
particular
levels
do
get
high
and
those
messages
will
come
with
some
direction
guidance
for
how
they
can
protect
themselves
at
those
high
levels
and
we've
been
working
very
closely
with
boulder
valley's
public
schools.
They've
been
a
great
partner
on
this.
There
are
eight
schools
in
the
burn
area
and
we're
planning
to
put
one
of
these
particulate
monitors
on
each
one
of
those
schools.
J
B
AA
It'll
be
if
you're
familiar
with
the
epa's
hqi
guidance.
If
you
go
to
airnow.gov
that
it's
the
guidance
is
different
for
different
populations,
so
those
that
are
more
sensitive
to
these
pollutants
that
have
existing
respiratory
conditions.
The
advice
will
be,
you
know
a
little
bit
stronger
for
those
than
the
general
population,
but
essentially
it
will
be
on
days
where
we're
having
high
particulates
outdoors.
AA
If
you
know,
if
you
can
stay
in
your
home
and
you
have
proper
air
filtration
in
your
home,
it
would
be
to
stay
indoors
if
you
are
healthy
enough
to
wear
an
n95
mask.
We've
talked
about
wearing
n95
masks
a
lot
tonight,
and
I
always
have
to
caution
that
if
you
have
an
existing
respiratory
cardiopulmonary
condition
that
an
n95
mask
may
exacerbate
those
conditions.
AA
So
when
we're
telling
people
to
put
on
an
n95
mask
on
high
particulate
days
to
go
outside,
we
really
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
talking
about
healthy
people
that
can
tolerate
those
masks.
It
might
mean
if
you
are
particularly
sensitive,
have
a
respiratory
condition
that
you
remove
yourself
from
the
burn
area.
AA
And
so
we
can
jump
to
the
next
slide.
Talk
about
indoor
air
quality.
Oh
well!
Sorry,
we
put
this
together
a
couple
of
days
ago
and
I've
forgotten.
This
is
just
a
picture
of
the
playground
on.
The
right
is
where
we
put
one
of
the
monitors,
that's
community
park
in
south
superior
and
then
the
insert
shows
the
monitor
itself.
That's
up
on
that
lamp
post.
So
you
can
see
it's
fairly
small.
It's
no
bigger
than
the
shoe
box
comes
with
its
own
solar
panels,
so
we
don't
have
to
plug
it
into
electricity.
AA
Little
black
antenna
sticking
up
on
the
side.
It
sends
data
through
cellular
telephone
networks.
So
a
real
nice
package
that's
totally
self-sufficient,
and
so
we
can
put
them
just
about
any
place
that
we
have
a
cell
phone
signal.
The
map
on
the
left
is
what
I
look
at
every
day
and
it
indicates
with
the
color
of
the
dot.
The
dot
is
the
location
of
a
monitor.
The
color
tells
you
the
air
quality
that
it's
sensing
at
that
time.
What
we're
working
on
putting
on
the
love!
AA
So
indoor
air
quality
has
a
you
know
different
set
of
concerns
than
the
outdoor
air
quality,
and
so
we
have
a
number
of
homes
in
the
burn
area.
As
the
picture
that
joe
showed
at
the
start
completely
unimpacted
homes
in
the
middle
of
complete
devastation,
I
say
unimpacted
they
weren't
burned,
but
they
were
impacted
by
a
great
deal
of
smoke,
and
so,
when
we've
gone
into
these
houses
and
we're
working
closely
with
the
university
of
colorado,
mechanical
engineering
professors
are
just
doing
an
incredible
job
of
days
after
the
fire.
AA
Moving
in
very
good
air
quality
monitoring
equipment
to
see.
What's
going
on
in
these
houses
and
we're
seeing
a
number
of
vocs,
benzene
is
kind
of
the
one
we
focus
on,
but
it's
an
indicator
for
a
whole
range
of
vocs
and
those
things
typically
dissipate
very
quickly
and
we're
kind
of
surprised
to
see
how
long
they're
hanging
around
inside
the
houses-
and
so
it
just
shows
how
much
all
the
soft
forest
materials
in
the
house
soaked
up
those
vocs
and
are
very
slowly
releasing
them.
AA
The
house,
where
they
started
was
probably
one
of
the
most
smoke
impacted
houses
in
superior,
and
so
we
kind
of
considered
a
worst
case
scenario
and
when
everything
is
closed
up,
we
see
levels
go
from
three
to
ten
times
what
the
outdoor
level
of
those
pollutants
are.
The
good
news,
though,
is
they've,
done
a
lot
of
experimenting
with
running
the
ventilation
system
in
the
house,
putting
in
air
filtration
and
by
just
putting
in
a
very
simple
hepa,
filter
and
activated
carbon
filter
system
in
the
house
running
it
for
an
hour.
AA
It
drops
the
voc
levels
to
almost
outdoor
levels
so
as
they
turn
it
off
about
an
hour
later,
they're
right
back
up
so
they've
since
gotten
a
number
of
mobile
units
and
are
testing
more
and
more
houses.
So
we're
learning
a
lot
about.
What's
going
on
inside
these
houses,
we've
also
started
getting
remediation
companies,
cleaning
those
houses
and
it's
been
a
mixed
bag
of
how
effective
the
different
cleaning
methods
have
been.
AA
And
then
also
see
you
put
together
great
guidance,
that's
on
our
website
about
how
homeowners
can
clean
their
house
up
on
their
own
and
we're
in
the
process
of
hiring
a
certified
industrial
hygienist
at
public
health
that
will
help
people
to
kind
of
navigate.
I
got
a
call
today
from
a
homeowner
that
had
hired
a
certified
industrial
hygienist
to
tell
them
what
to
do
and
then
had
a
remediation
firm
come
in
and
tell
them
what
to
do.
AA
And
you
know
it
wasn't
conflicting
guidance,
but
it
wasn't
the
same
guidance
and
he
was
needing
help
navigating
that.
So
we
hope
to
get
our
own
industrial
hygienist
on
board
to
help
people
navigate
those
questions
in
the
flood
in
2013
we
saw
a
lot
of
remediation
companies
that
were
just
flat
out
committing
fraud
and
taking
advantage
of
people.
AA
I
won't
say
that
it's
not
happening
in
this
disaster,
but
we're
not
seeing
it
at
that
level,
which
is
good,
but
we
just
really
feel
like
having
an
industrial
hygienist
on
board
to
help
people
sort
through
those
bids
and
recommendations
will
further
protect
them
against
any
kind
of
unscrupulous
remediation
companies
that
might
be
coming
into
the
area.
So
that's
my
update
and
unless
there's
any
questions
I'll
hand
it
over
to
aaron
dodge.
C
AZ
All
right
hearing,
no
more
questions.
My
name
is
aaron
dodge
and
I
serve
as
the
water
quality
coordinator
for
boulder
county
public
health.
Thanks
for
having
us
tonight,
I
will
say
just
in
response
to
that
they
can
reach
out
to
their
insurance
companies
and
hopefully
the
insurance
companies
are
helping
support,
at
least
the
financial
side
of
that
cleanup.
AZ
AZ
As
we
can
so,
the
weather
has
not
really
cooperated,
but
I
do
believe
that
the
work
is
supposed
to
start
either
this
week
or
next
week,
so
weather
permitting.
Of
course,
we
also
did
have
been
working
closely
with
the
state
health
department
cd
phd,
and
there
is
intention
by
the
division,
the
water
quality
control,
division
to
issue
a
stormwater
permit
to
the
county
for
the
burned
area.
AZ
So
we
already
have
our
regular
stormwater
permit
that
we
abide
by
and
are
responsible
for
implementing,
but
we
will
get
a
separate
one
similar
to
an
industry
like
a
recycling
center
that
has
expected
runoff
and
impacts
to
water
quality.
The
division
has
decided
to
issue
one
for
the
burn
scar,
so
we're
still
learning
a
little
bit
about
what
that's
going
to
look
like
and
what
the
implications
will
be,
but
the
state
is
definitely.
This
is
a
they
want
to
work
with
us.
AZ
AZ
Another
role
within
storm
water
in
our
daily
jobs
is
to
support
the
other
county
departments
in
implementing
their
requirements
for
the
stormwater
permit,
and
so
we've
been
helping
the
public
works
department
and
assessing
their
infrastructure
and
ensuring
that
we
are,
you
know,
identifying
areas
that
might
need
more.
Immediate
attention
have
culver.
You
know
ditches
or
culverts
clean
things
of
that
nature
where
there
might
have
been
fire
damage.
AZ
So
another
area
that
we
work
with
when
it
comes
to
water
quality
are
wells
and
wells
are
kind
of
an
interesting
piece
in
the
state
of
colorado.
You
have
to
get
a
permit
to
have
a
well
installed
and
they're,
really
looking
at
your
water
rights
and
how
much
water
you
can
take
out
of
that
well,
but
when
it
comes
to
the
quality
of
your
drinking
water,
that
you're
using
out
of
that
well
you're
pretty
much
on
your
own.
AZ
You
are
operating
just
as
if
you
were
the
city
of
boulder
or
a
small
community
water
source
and
you're
in
charge
of
ensuring
that
that
drinking
water
is
safe
to
drink.
You
you're
in
charge
of
getting
it
sampled
you're
in
charge
of
maintaining
that
system,
hiring
contractors
to
maintain
your
well
and
so
the
well
owners
when
you
know
during
these
disasters
are
very
often
left
on
their
own.
AZ
So
we
step
in
and
try
to
help
provide
education
to
well
owners,
as
well
as
the
wealth
service
providers
and
in
identifying
resources
of
where
folks
can
go
to
get
their
water
tested,
helping
them
with
documentation
of
what
what
we're
recommending
and
how
they
can
assess
their
risk
because,
as
bill
mentioned,
there's
variations
on
the
damage
that
people
saw.
Some
people
are
unharmed
sitting
in
the
middle
of
a
disaster
zone.
AZ
So
you've
probably
heard
me
come
and
speak
before
about
fees
or
are
getting
our
regulation
adopted.
We
are
the
regulatory
authority
when
it
comes
to
septic.
The
state
has
regulation
43,
which
puts
forth
the
requirements
that
local
public
health
or
local
septic
programs
are
required
to
adopt
our
sits
in
public
health,
and
we
have
our
own
regulation
after
these
pictures
here
on
the
bottom
of
our
slide.
This
is
these
are
from
the
cal
wood
fire.
AZ
A
fire
truck
driving
over
that
which
we
know
can
impact
the
soil
treatment
area
or
the
leech
field
of
a
septic
system,
and
the
other
picture
in
the
lower
right
is
a
hole
in
the
ground
and
that's
actually
a
septic
tank,
and
it
was
a
plastic
tank
that
melted
during
the
fire
and
if
you've
looked
really
closely
it's
what
you
think
would
be
in
there.
So
definitely
an
imminent
public
health
hazard
to
have
an
open
septic
tank
with
raw
sewage
sitting
in
there.
AZ
So
looking
looking
forward
to
those
in
terms
of
supporting
residents
in
making
sure
that
they're
there
and
getting
these
inspected
doing
this
up
front,
not
waiting
until
they're
ready
to
move
into
their
house
to
ensure
that
their
septic
system
didn't
sustain
damage,
making
sure
they're
protecting
it
during
debris
cleanup,
we
also
will
be
anticipating
an
increase
in
the
number
of
permits.
We
know
it
was.
AZ
AZ
AZ
There
were,
I
believe,
the
last
dam.
The
nest
damage
account
in
unincorporated
county
was
somewhere
between
100
and
150.
It
was
originally
like
100
and
then
it
jumped
up
it's
kind
of
been
moving
and
honestly,
I
don't
know
what
the
last
number
was,
but
yes,
that
that
was
the
actual
number
of
damaged
structures
or
partially
destroyed
structures.
AZ
AZ
Yes,
I
think
I
think
that
they
would
have
a
good
case
to
get
that
situated
through
insurance,
and
our
hope
is
with
providing
the
guidance
about
what
they
should
test
for,
and
potential
issues
with
regards
to
wells
that
they'll,
those
homeowners
will
also
be
able
to
use
that
to
get
their
their
insurance
to
support,
getting
their
well
tested
and
and
rehabbed.
In
many
cases
if
it
was
like
this
is
the
well
the
upper
right
hand
corner
is
the
picture
of
a
wellhead
and
it
was
clearly
burned
and
a
lot
of
times.
Those
are
pvc.
AZ
This
one
happens
to
be
metal,
but
even
if
there
was
pvc
within
that
metal
wellhead,
as
you
can
imagine,
this
was
an
extremely
hot
fire,
very,
very
hot
because
of
the
winds
that
we're
burning
and
all
lots
of
pvc
damage
that
is
impacting
drinking
water.
We're
seeing
that
in
the
town
of
in
the
town
of
louisville,
where
they've
actually
gone
into
some
of
the
burned
areas
and
still
do
not
have
are
not
able
to
provide
potable
water
because
the
pvc
pipes
are
just
continuing
to
leach
vocs
into
the
drinking
water.
AY
AZ
AZ
It's
consistent
with
community
planning
and
permitting
they
usually
waive
some
of
their
their
fees
as
well.
Usually
their
site
plan
review
fees.
So
it
provides
that
opportunity
now
if
somebody
did
not
have
an
approved
system
and
we've
done
the
research,
and
it
was
a
very
small
number
of
properties
in
the
burn
area
that
were
impacted.
AX
AY
A
A
I'm
having
a
hard
time
even
pushing
buttons
anymore.
Let's
see
we.
The
only
thing
we
have
left
is
director's
report,
which
I
am
kind
of
willing
to
use
my
executive
authority
to
say.
If
you
have
questions,
we
can
bring
them
up
at
the
march
board
meeting,
because
it
will
clearly
be
a
shorter
meeting
than
today's
was.
