All
right,

The

is
at

that's
open
seven
days
a

foreign
next
announcement,
so
tonight
is
really
Transportation
night,
primarily
at
the
Boulder
City
Council.
So
this
announcement
is
Right.
On
Target
during
the
entire
month
of
August
RTD
will
offer
zero
fares
across
its
system
as
part
of
the
zero
fare
for
better
air
initiative.
B
We'll
hear
more
about
this
from
our
RTD
Geisinger
here
in
a
few
minutes,
this
collaborative
Statewide
initiative
made
possible
by
Colorado
Senate
bill
22180
in
partnership
with
the
Colorado
Energy
Office
is
designed
to
reduce
crime
level
ozone
by
increasing
use
of
public
transit
partner.
Itv
customers
will
also
benefit,
as
they
will
not
have
to
use
or
purchase
Fair
products
from
August
1st
through
the
31st
during
Colorado's
housing
season.
So
by
taking
advantage
of
free
transit
in
August,
you
can
save
money
on
gas
and
parking
avoid.
B
The
frustration
of
driving
traffic
help
improve
air
quality
by
reducing
single
occupant
vehicle
traffic
and
use
your
commute
to
catch
up
on
your
work.
Listen
to
music
or
read
a
book
so
for
more
information.
Please
visit
RTD
site
at
www.rtd.denver.com,
zero,
Fair
foreign,
that's
it
for
our
announcements,
so
I
will
go
ahead
and
call
us
to
order
and
ask
Alicia.
We
could
do
a
roll
call.
D
E
B
Okay
motion,
then
a
second
for
motion
agenda.
All
in
favor
raise
your
virtual
hand.
Okay,
it's
a
little
stagger
step,
but
I
think
that
was
unanimous.
So
the
amenda
is
duly.
The
agenda
is
duly
amended.
So
I
will
now
turn
to
council
member
Yates
to
read
the
Declaration.
F
Well,
thank
you
Aaron,
and
it
is.
It
is
my
honor
tonight
to
read
this
declaration
honoring
Cleveland
Rolex
and
the
separation
we
read
tonight
on
behalf
of
council
and
then
mayor
Brockett
will
be
reading
this
declaration
in
a
couple
of
days
and
I
Community
event,
honoring
clela
at
The
JCC,
and
how
many
members
of
the
community
can
join.
That
and
Aaron
will
read
this
separation
again
that
day
and
and
Marty
Moore
who's.
The
executive
director
of
Boulder
County
is
with
us
this
evening
and
I.
F
Think
Marty
is
going
to
receive
this
declaration
and
maybe
say
a
few
words
after
I.
If
I
read
it
and
then
Taylor
I
think
you've
got
a
little
slideshow
to
present,
while
I'm
reading
so
start
that
whenever
wherever
you're
right
like
so,
this
is
a
declaration
naming
Lila
Rolex
Day
July,
23
2022.
F
F
F
F
Having
been
elected,
Boulder
County
Clerk
only
a
few
months
earlier,
Cleveland
faced
a
challenge
that
her
Methodist
upbringing
ill
prepared.
Her
for
a
gay
couple
came
to
Cleveland's
County
Clerk
Office
in
March
1975,
and
asked
her
to
issue
them.
A
marriage
license
Leela
confirmed
with
Boulder
County
attorney
that
there
was
no
law
actually
prohibiting
her
from
issuing
the
marriage
license
to
the
two
men,
so
on
March
26
1975
she
issued
the
license.
F
F
Clela
was
an
outspoken
feminist
who
took
a
pragmatic
approach
to
issuing
marriage
license
to
a
gay
couple
say
Cleveland.
Many
years
later
quote
we
were
asking
for
equal
rights
who
would
I
be
to
deny
someone
else
who
was
asking
for
the
same
equal
rights,
so
I
issued
the
license
and
all
hell
broke
loose
in
the
face
of
a
recall
effort.
Clela
would
resign
as
Boulder
County
Clerk,
never
again
to
stand
for
elected
office
with
those
six
marriage
licenses
in
1975.
F
Many
credit
clela
for
being
the
Catalyst
for
same-sex
marriage,
the
person
who
had
the
courage
to
do
what
no
one
else
had
ever
done
before,
reflecting
on
31
year
old
clela's
actions
in
1975.,
Albert,
County,
Executive,
Director,
Marty,
Moore,
explained
quote,
she
didn't
know
any
gay
people.
She
did
it
because
it
was
the
right
thing
to
do.
F
F
F
Clela's
life
philosophy
can
possibly
be
best
summed
up
by
a
sign
that
her
son
found
in
her
Longmont
home.
Shortly
after
she
died
on
June
19..
It
said
simply
be
a
mermaid
make
waves
and
so
in
honor
of
the
waves
clela
made
to
ensure
dignity
and
equality
for
countless
same-sex
couples
across
the
country
and
around
the
world.
F
B
Thank
you
so
much
for
that
Bob
clue
was
truly
a
hero
to
all
of
us
and
I'll
turn
now
to
Marty
Moore
executive
director
of
Boulder
County
Martin.
Would
you
like
to
say
a
few
words.
H
Thank
you,
mayor,
Yates
and
Taylor
for
the
beautiful
slideshow
and
thanks
to
the
city
of
Boulder,
for
this
declaration.
H
You
know
the
city
of
Boulder
is
an
amazing
place
and
for
LGBT
rights
in
particular,
we
have
been
the
leader
from
clela
to
pedophile
Tate
to
Gene
dabowski,
and
the
list
goes
on
to
the
group
of
young
lesbians
from
CU
who
made
sure
that
our
Municipal
Code
protected
gays
and
lesbians
with
a
first
first
municipality
in
the
nation.
H
To
do
that,
and
so
this
is
a
meaningful
declaration
from
the
city
and
I
know
that
our
community
has
the
support
of
each
of
you
as
council
members
and
for
that
I'm.
I'm.
Truly
grateful
I'm
going
to
make
a
few
comments
and
then
I'm
going
to
share
something
that
I
wrote
today
and
if
you
read
our
newsletter,
you've
already
heard
it
so
go,
get
a
cup
of
coffee,
but
we'll
do
that
and
we
Neil
Fishman
who's.
A
resident
of
the
city
of
Boulder.
H
He
and
I
are
trying
hard
to
get
clela's
name
attached
to
the
federal
marriage
bill
and
Nadler
sent
it
through
so
fast
that
we
didn't
get
it
done
in
the
house.
So
if
it
goes
back
to
the
house
with
any
kind
of
of
amendments,
we're
gonna
we're
trying
very
hard
through
Senator
Bennett's
Office,
to
get
clela's
name
attached,
because
the
six
licenses
that
she
issued
are
valid
licenses.
H
They
were
the
first
in
the
nation.
You
may
hear
some
talk
about
well,
it
was
done
in
Minnesota,
but
it
wasn't
done
by
they're
not
valid.
These
stood
and
insured
40
years
later
that
by
national
couple
were
able
one
of
the
members
was
able
to
get
his
green
card.
H
It
took
40
years
so
I
wanted
to
share
that
with
you.
I
also
wanted
to
share
one
aside,
which
is
we
have
a
thousand
tests
available
for
any
Community
member
that
wants
at-home
tests.
Please
stop
by
3340
Mitchell
Lane
and
pick
those
up,
but
back
to
this
I'm
gonna
take
my
eyes
away
from
you
and
share
something
is
a
personal
friend
of
mine,
so
this
is
all
kind
of
hard.
H
H
This
is
written
by
me.
I
remember
one
night
quietly.
Turning
on
my
little
black
and
white
TV,
hoping
the
clicking
of
the
changing
the
channels
didn't
alert
my
mom
to
the
fact
that
I
was
watching
Johnny
Carson
well
past
my
bedtime
that
night
Johnny
was
talking
about
a
county
clerk
in
Boulder
Colorado,
who
wouldn't
marry
a
cowboy
in
his
horse,
but
was
marrying
homosexuals
clela
hated
that
story.
H
H
H
Cleveland
took
the
burning
of
the
bras
to
a
new
level
and
ran
for
Boulder
County
Clerk
that
year,
I
was
reading
about
ways
to
change
the
world,
but
Cleveland
was
already
doing
it
fast
forward
to
what
feels
like
a
million
years
for
me
and
I'm
living
in
Boulder
County
civil
unions
were
a
year
old
and
it
was
my
job
to
invite
Cleo
Rolex
to
an
anniversary
party.
I
was
trepidatious,
but
I
went
ahead
and
sent
that
email.
H
The
time
she
visited
China
the
time
she
called
to
check
on
you,
the
card
she
sent
for
your
anniversary,
the
time
she
said,
I,
never
thought
about
it
like
that,
and
the
time
she
said,
I'm
proud
of
you.
Saturday
is
Cleveland
roarick's
day
in
Boulder
County
a
day
to
acknowledge
Cleveland's
life's
work
for
fighting
for
equality.
H
Less
one
Brave
act
gave
hope
to
gay
men
and
lesbians
throughout
the
world.
I
know
it
was
throughout
the
world,
because
I
have
seen
the
letters
of
gratitude
she
saved.
I
have
also
read
the
letters
from
the
good
quote:
Christians
telling
her
to
repent
telling
her
she
was
going
to
hell
telling
her.
She
wasn't
welcome
in
Boulder
County,
her
decision
to
do
what
she
thought
was
right
had
a
huge
impact
on
her
life
today,
when
you
hang
your
rainbow
flag
in
honorable
Rolex,
I
hope
you'll
take
a
moment
to
say.
H
Thank
you
to
her
thank
her
for
being
the
best
ally.
Anyone
could
ask
for
thank
her
for
making
Boulder
County
home.
Thank
her
thank
her
for
volunteer
dedication
to
the
lgbtq
plus
community.
Thank
her
for
being
the
first
light
of
Hope
that
many
of
us
ever
had
that
one
day
we
might
have
equal
rights
to
today.
I
ask
you
to
be
as
strong
as
Cleveland
warx
in
the
fight
we
have
ahead
of
us
to
be
as
willing
to
risk
it
all.
A
paycheck,
a
reputation,
family
and
friends
in
the
fight
for
equality.
H
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
this
declaration
and
thanks
for
all
that,
you
do
to
make
sure
that
Boulder
is
a
place
where
we
all
belong.
B
B
Well,
we
will
move
on
now
to
our
item
1B,
and
this
is
a
an
update
from
Boulder
County
on
a
transportation
initiative
and
I'd
like
to
invite
County,
Commissioner
Claire
Levy,
to
to
join
us
and
and
introduce
this
item.
Claire
Welcome
to
our
meeting.
I
Yeah,
thank
you.
It's
an
honor
to
be
here
and
before
I
start
with
the
matter
at
hand
on
the
agenda.
I
I
just
want
to
say
that
it
was
really
meaningful
for
me
to
be
able
to
hear
that
presentation
and
the
the
resolution
and
Marty's
words
were
just
really
moving
so
I'm
glad
that
I
got
to
be
here
so
I'm
here
and
and
to
update
you
on
Boulder
County's
plans
for
a
ballot
measure.
I
This
fall
to
fund
transportation
and
I
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
take
some
of
your
time.
I
know
you
have
a
lot
on
the
agenda,
but
we
we
wanted
to
just
provide
an
overview
of
our
ongoing
progress
to
explore
this
potential
Transportation
sales
tax
extension
of
an
existing
tax
actually
and
we'll
be
taking
public
comment
on
this
proposal
at
a
hearing
on
August,
4.
Earth
and
the
agenda,
and
the
link
to
that
meeting
will
be
published
on
the
Boulder
County
website
later
this
evening.
I
The
website
is
bouldercounty.gov,
we've
just
transitioned
to
the.gov
appendix
so.
Just
for
a
little
bit
of
background
for
the
past
20
years,
the
county
has
had
a
tenth
of
a
penny
sales
tax
that
has
been
used
to
fund
multimodal
Transportation
improvements
throughout
Boulder
County,
based
on
the
County's
2020
Transportation
master
plan.
I
I
What
we're
proposing
and
what
we'll
be
considering
in
our
meeting
is
actually
an
extension
of
the
existing
sales
tax.
It
won't
be
an
increase
in
that
tax,
and
these
Transportation
improvements
will
support
our
county-wide
transportation
plan
and
help
achieve
the
County's
goals
to
create
a
safe,
affordable,
Equitable
and
sustainable
Transportation
Network
for
people
of
all
ages
and
stages
of
life.
I
So
we're
hoping
to
get
your
input
this
evening
field,
any
questions
that
you
may
have,
and
and
just
and
take
some
suggestions,
but
before
I
turn
it
over
to
Kathleen.
Brackey
I
also
wanted
to
make
you
aware
that
Boulder
County
is
going
to
be
considering
two
other
tax
proposals
at
public
hearings,
also
on
August
4th
and
the
the
links
to
those
will
be
found
on
our
website
as
well.
I
These
two
proposals
would
address
the
need,
basically
to
keep
people
safe
as
people
recreate
in
Boulder
County
and
we've
all
seen
an
increase
in
numbers
of
people
that
are
using
our
open
space.
Every
day,
the
camera
Daily
Camera
seems
to
publish
a
report
of
a
rescue.
Those
are
done
with
volunteers,
but
the
equipment
and
the
training
is
all
really
important.
So
we
are
going
to
be
considering
these
also
to
public
hearing
and
I
did
want
to
just
make
you
aware
of
that.
I
So
just
with
that,
little
bit
of
introduction,
I
am
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Kathleen
brackey.
Many
of
you
know
her
she's
are
absolutely
indispensable.
I
Deputy
director
of
community
planning
and
permitting
and
and
she
and
I
believe
Stacy
Proctor
are
both
going
to
be
making
the
presentation
this
evening,
they've
been
doing
the
Lion's
Share
of
the
planning
for
this
ballot
measure
to
extend
this
tax.
So
thanks
for
letting
me
join,
you
and
I'll
look
forward
to
hearing
your
questions
later.
J
Great,
thank
you
so
much,
commissioner
Levy
and
also
mayor
Brockett
and
all
of
you
on
the
city
of
Boulder,
City,
Council,
I'm,
really
thrilled
to
be
here
tonight
and
see
so
many
familiar
faces
as
well
as
new
faces.
So
thank
you
for
giving
us
this
opportunity
to
share
an
update
on
Boulder,
County's,
Transportation
sales,
tax
or
and
I'll.
We
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
J
Please
Stacy
and,
as
commissioner
Levy
said,
joining
me
tonight
is
Stacy
Proctor
who's
also
part
of
our
Boulder
County
Transportation
Planning
team
and
we're
also
joined
by
Tim
Swope
with
Boulder
County's
Public
Works
staff.
I
think
Tim
may
be
having
some
computer
trouble,
but
he's
planning
to
to
join
us.
So
again,
thank
you
for
inviting
us
and
we
just
want
to
provide
an
overview
of
Transportation
in
Boulder
County
transportation
funding.
J
Today,
some
of
the
options
and
considerations
that
we've
given
to
how
can
we
move
forward,
given
that
our
current
sales
tax
for
transportation
is
expiring
in
mid-2024,
so
we're
coming
up
on
that
critical
time
frame?
We
also
have
some
polling
information
to
share
and
then,
as
commissioner
Levy
said,
we
really
are
here
to
seek
your
input
and
suggestions
to
help
us
as
we
come
forward
with
the
proposal
at
the
public
hearing
on
August
4th.
J
So
with
that
Stacy,
let's
go
ahead
to
the
next
slide.
Please.
J
We
thought
it
would
be
helpful
as
we're
talking
about
transportation
in
Boulder
County.
We
have
a
brief
video
to
share
that
I
think
helps
to
give
that
whole
picture
about
what
what
types
of
Transportation
are
we
talking
about
across
the
county
and
really
all
of
the
people
that
we
are
trying
to
serve
through
Transportation,
so
we'll
go
ahead
and
show
this
quick
video
before
we
proceed.
Thank
you.
M
Going
forward,
Boulder,
County's
Transportation
needs
are
changing
and
the
transportation
system
must
adapt
to
meet
the
community's
changing
needs.
Not
everyone
has
access
to
all
Transportation
options
and
too
often
our
current
methods
of
transportation
are
too
expensive
and
contribute
to
climate
change
and
poor
air
quality.
To
achieve
our
community's
vision
of
a
safe,
sustainable,
affordable
and
inclusive
Transportation
Network,
we
need
to
work
together
to
prioritize
our
transportation,
Investments
and
plan
for
a
future
that
serves
all
of
us.
L
N
O
O
We
are
dedicated
to
achieving
our
goal
and
providing
the
public
with
a
transportation
system
where
anyone
can
travel
about
the
county
safely
and
comfortably
regardless
of
mode.
We
are
going
to
achieve
our
goal
by
collaborating
with
stakeholders
engaging
with
the
public
and
using
a
proactive
data-driven
approach
to
eliminate
crashes
and
prioritize
safer
Road
design
and
educational
strategies.
P
Boulder
County's
Mobility
for
all
and
new
Transportation
programs
address
the
unique
needs
of
our
vulnerable
and
underserved
populations.
We
know
that
transportation
is
essential
to
accessing
Education,
Health,
Care,
Recreation
and
economic
opportunities
in
Boulder
County
by
enhancing
mobility
and
transportation
options
for
people
of
all
ages,
abilities
and
incomes.
We
Foster
vibrant,
healthy
and
Equitable
communities.
Q
We
are
enhancing
our
Mountain
Area
connections
by
creating
programs
and
services
that
are
designed
for
The
Unique
needs
of
the
County's
Mountain
communities.
We
are
working
to
continue
our
strong
history
of
combining
local
state
and
federal
funding
to
bring
the
community's
transportation
Vision
to
life.
Boulder
County,
prioritizes
investments
in
multimodal
corridors
to
give
people
options
to
use
all
modes
of
transportation
and
support
our
clean
air
and
climate
goals.
With
your
help,
all
of
these
programs
and
projects
can
come
together
to
create
a
safe,
Equitable,
affordable,
sustainable
and
resilient
transportation
system
in
Boulder
County.
J
Great
thanks,
Stacy
and
Tim
Swope
from
Public
Works
has
joined
us.
So
thanks
for
being
here,
Tim
with
us
so
again,
I
hope
the
the
video
helps
to
show
showcase
all
of
the
different
types
of
transportation.
Again,
all
of
the
people
that
we
are
designing
and
developing
and
planning,
and
offering
programs
and
services
for
and
when
again,
when
we
think
about
Transportation,
it's
all
of
the
different
facets
that
that
bring
that
transportation
system
forward.
J
So
it's
the
the
road
maintenance
and
the
snow
plowing
the
transit
operations,
as
well
as
the
projects,
capital
projects
for
people
walking
and
biking
and
taking
all
modes.
Our
transportation
system
for
Boulder
County
is
funded
through
a
variety
of
sources,
but
this
particular
funding,
which
is
our
transportation
sales
tax,
that
tenth
of
a
penny
sales
tax
that
has
been
in
place
for
approximately
over
20
years
is
really
the
bread
and
butter
foundational
funding
for
our
multimodal
system.
J
It
is
the
funding
that
we
use
to
offer
transit
services
in
the
mobility
programs,
as
well
as
our
capital
projects
for
bikeways
and
Transit
as
well.
So
it
this
funding
that
we're
talking
about
tonight
and
the
ideas
and
proposals
we're
bringing
forward
are
really
to
be
able
to
help,
create
and
sustain
and
expand
our
multimodal
transportation
system
throughout
Boulder
County
in
in
alignment
with
our
transportation
master
plan
goals
our
our
county-wide
transportation
plan,
as
they
prefer
to
call
it.
So
let's
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please.
J
When
we
look
at
our
current
sales
tax-
and
we
look
back
over
the
years
over
the
last
20
years,
the
the
map
here
on
the
right
helps
to
show
the
location
and
type
of
some
of
the
projects
that
we've
been
able
to
invest
in,
and
many
of
these
projects
have
been
done
through
Partnerships,
with
local
communities
like
with
the
city
of
Boulder
and
with
other
communities
across
Boulder
County,
and
also
going
together
for
Grant
applications
through,
like
the
Denver
Regional
Council
of
governments
and
state
and
federal
options.
J
But
it's
really
amazing
to
think
about
the
the
magnitude
of
investment
that's
been
made
in
terms
of
the
roadway
shoulders
for
to
help
cyclists
and
safety
for
all
Road
users,
our
intersection
improvements,
Regional
Trails
Transit
and
our
bicycle
and
pedestrian
facilities
as
well.
There's
even
little
arrows
that
go
off
the
map.
The
show
kind
of
goes
on
Beyond
and
up
into
the
mountain
communities
as
well.
So
we
try
to
invest
these
all
dollars
in
a
way
that
benefit
people
traveling
across
Boulder
County
and
connecting
the
communities
together.
J
So
why
are
we
here
this
evening?
In
particular,
it's
to
talk
about
our
current
transportation
funding
for
Boulder
County
and,
as
I
mentioned,
our
current
Transportation
sales
tax
is
set
to
expire
in
mid-2024.,
so
as
a
transportation
planner
that
feels
like
tomorrow
for
me.
So
we
really
need
to
be
thinking
about
this
now
and
thinking
ahead
to
how
do
we
develop
options
for
consideration
to
extend
that
funding
so
that
we
have
reliable,
predictable
and
sustainable
funding
sources
for
these
critical
Transportation
improvements
going
forward?
J
And
so
that's
really
why
the
timing
is
so
critical
for
us
right
now
is
to
make
sure
that
we
are
able
to
to
create
that
connection
going
forward
and
not
have
a
break
in
time.
The
other
piece
that
is
so
important
about
our
timing
is
that,
as
you
all
know,
through
the
federal
infrastructure
Bill
and
then
in
Colorado
through
Senate
Bill
260,
this
is
the
first
time
in
decades
truly
decades
that
there
has
been
funding
to
go
for
at
the
state
level
at
the
federal
level.
J
Again
through
Dr
Cog,
we
used
to
talk
about
and
George
gerstel
who
used
to
work
at
the
county
would
often
say
we
would
talk
about
what
we
can't
do
with
the
money.
We
don't
have
that
had
been
our
Decades
of
transportation
funding
conversations
and
now
there
is,
thankfully,
through
the
leadership
at
the
state
and
federal
level,
new
funding
for
multimodal
transportation
and
sustainable
transportation
and
vision,
zero
safety
type
projects.
And
so
we
want
to
be
able
to
position
Boulder,
County
and
the
communities
in
Boulder
County
to
be
able
to
go
after
that
new
money.
J
Because,
as
we
know,
all
of
those
sources
of
new
dollars
are
exciting
and
they're
out
there.
But
they
all
require
local
matching
funds
to
put
a
successful
applications
together,
and
we
have
a
strong
track
record
of
doing
that
across
Boulder,
County
and
again
in
partnership
with
local
communities
like
the
city
of
Boulder.
But
we
want
to
be
able
to
continue
that
and
be
able
to
go
after
and
secure
those
additional
state
and
federal
funds,
and
then
I
also
think
it's
always
important
to
talk
about
what
happens.
J
If
we
don't
do
this,
and
as
I
mentioned
at
the
beginning,
this
is
our
critical
foundational
funding
for
multimodal
transportation.
So,
if
we're
not
able
to
continue
this
funding
source,
we
would
not
be
able
to
continue
the
types
of
Transit
and
Mobility
programs
that
we
have
today.
We
would
basically
be
looking
at
the
existing
system
as
it
is
today
and
focusing
on
basic
core
level
maintenance.
J
J
So
when
we
talk
about
the
types
of
projects
that
these
Investments
would
accomplish
again,
it's
across
the
whole
breadth
of
the
transportation
system.
It's
continuing
to
add
bikable
shoulders
in
our
Mountain
areas
and
those
shoulders
are
improved
safety
for
everyone
using
all
modes
being
able
to
sustain
and
grow
our
Mobility
programs
again
for
people
of
all
ages
and
stages
of
Life
be
able
to
continue
to
create
the
Boulder
County
Trail
master
plan.
J
We
have
a
large
network
of
off-road
trails
that
we
would
like
to
be
able
to
continue
implementing,
as
well
as
a
harder
surface,
commuter
bikeways
and
then
continuing
our
Transit
service.
We've
been
very
successful
in
being
able
to
offer
transit
services
through
Boulder
County
that
help
complement
what
is
being
done
locally
and
by
RTD.
So
a
great
example,
obviously
that
you
all
know
locally
is
the
Hop
service
and
then
a
service
that
Boulder
County
is
providing.
Is
the
right
free,
Lafayette
on
demand
service?
J
And
then
how
are
we
working
together
to
be
able
to
create
new
possible
Transit
Investments
as
well?
That
connect,
for
example,
Lions
to
Boulder
Boulder
County
just
started
our
new
Lions
flyer
service
this
summer.
J
It
replaces
the
Y
Route
that
used
to
be
operated
by
RTD
and
was
suspended
during
covet,
so
we're
looking
to
provide
lots
of
different
types
of
Transit
service
and
then
very
important
about
our
regional
corridors
and
as
the
video
alluded
to
and
as
all
of
you
are
familiar,
we
work
together
to
advance
the
Northwest
area,
Mobility
corridors
and
those
multimodal
options
for
bus,
Rapid,
Transit,
commuter,
bikeways
and
safety
improvements.
Let's
go
ahead
to
the
next
slide.
Please,
as
we've
been
giving
this
presentation
out
around
Boulder
County
to
different
audiences.
J
We've
been
getting
a
lot
of
questions
when
we
talk
about
these
types
of
Transportation
projects
and
services,
we're
in
this
business
every
day
we
recognize.
Transportation
has
a
lot
of
jargon.
We
have
a
lot
of
terminology
that
we
think
makes
sense,
but
doesn't
make
sense
to
anyone
else.
So
we
thought
it
would
be
helpful
to
describe
a
little
more
detail
what
we
mean
by,
for
example,
our
Mobility
programs.
J
Boulder
County,
is
just
in
the
process
of
completing
our
very
first
coordinated,
Human
Services
plan,
again
very
people-centric
transportation
services
and
options
to
enhance
affordability,
different
ways
to
Access
Transportation
through
car
share
and
Bike
Share
and
more
affordable
options
for
being
able
to
access
Transit.
So
we're
really
looking
through
these
Mobility
programs
to
live
in
to
our
Equity
goals
and
look
at
how
are
we
customizing,
Transportation
programs
and
services
to
meet
the
diverse
needs
across
Boulder
County?
J
So
these
are
some
examples
that
are
out
there
today
that
come
from
our
coordinated
Human
Services
plan
and
as
I
mentioned,
that
plan
is
just
getting
finalized.
There
is
a
copy
of
on
our
website
and
we're
really
excited
to
have
that
first
plan
in
place
for
Boulder
County.
Let's
go
to
the
next
slide,
please,
and
then
we
also
want
to
describe
in
more
detail
what
we
mean
by
our
roadway
safety
and
resilience
projects
through
Boulder
County's
Transportation
plan.
J
We
have
a
very
I
think
very
important
policy
around
it's
not
about
building
more
roads
or
bigger
roads
or
wider
roads
more
capacity.
It's.
How
do
we
work
with
the
existing
roadway
system
and
enhance
safety?
Again,
safety
is
core
to
our
mission,
our
vision,
zero
goals
to
eliminate
all
serious
and
fatal
crashes.
So
how
are
we
able
to
improve
intersections
and
again
the
shoulders,
some
of
our
roadways
and
unincorporated
Boulder
County
that
need
very
important
safety
repairs
throughout
the
county
and
including
in
the
mountain
communities?
The
other
part
of
our
roadway
system?
J
That's
very
important,
is
how
are
we
enhancing
the
resilience
of
the
system?
We
all
know
that
we
are
facing
the
impacts
of
climate
related
events
today
and
we
have
been-
and
we
will
unfortunately
continue
to
be
and
we're
trying
to
do
everything
we
can
to
create
a
more
sustainable
future,
but
we
we
know
we
need
to
enhance
our
roadway
infrastructure
to
make
it
more
sustainable
and
including
our
bridges
and
other
infrastructure
pieces.
So
this
is
an
important
part
of
our
investment
package.
J
Let's
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
Stacy
and
then
I
mentioned
briefly.
Our
regional
trails
and
bikeways
again.
I
think
this
helps
to
illustrate
the
diversity
of
the
types
of
of
trails
and
facilities
for
people
walking
and
biking
throughout
Boulder
County.
But
our
goal
is
to
continue
to
build
out
the
regional
Trails
master
plan
again
connecting
to
the
robust
network
of
trails,
that's
within
the
communities,
and
so
we
could
connect
more
across
the
county
and
then
adding
the
commuter
bikeways
like
this
picture.
J
Here
is
of
US
36
that
is
really
serving
as
a
role
model
for
all
of
the
regional
corridors,
so
that
we
can
enhance
that
and
add
it
to
corridors
like
the
119
diagonal
and
Colorado
7
and
and
287
as
well
and
I.
Think
another
important
piece
around
our
Bikeway
Network
and
it's
been
demonstrated
by
US
36-
is
the
importance
of
connecting
people
with
Transit.
So
it's
the
connection
between
modes
as
well.
J
So
let's
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
Stacy
and
speaking
of
trances,
when
we're
when
we're
working
on
Transit
and
Boulder
County
and
looking
at
how
we
can
invest
in
the
system.
It's
all
types
of
Transit.
We
have
the
on-demand
services
in
Lafayette,
we're
working
with
city
of
Boulder
and
with
the
boulder
chamber
and
the
business
community
and
RTD
on
a
new
idea
for
the
gun
barrel,
on-demand
shuttle
and
then
our
recreational
shuttles
both
to
Hesse
and
to
eldo.
J
What
I
think
is
exciting
about
the
Hesse
shuttle
this
summer
and
I'll
put
in
an
extra
plug,
as
we've
been
able
to
fund,
buy
up
the
fare
box
on
the
MB
bus
between
Boulder
and
Netherland
on
the
days
that
the
Hesse
shuttle
is
running,
so
you
could
travel
for
free,
Bye
by
bus
from
Boulder
all
the
way
up
to
go
hiking,
so
we're
trying
again
trying
to
pair
together
the
programs
and
the
services
together
and
then
again
all
different
types
of
Transit
local
I
mentioned
our
new
Lions
flyer
service
and
then
the
flex
express
service
between
Boulder,
County
and
Larimer
County.
J
Again,
that
is
co-funded
through
the
Partnerships,
with
city
of
Boulder
and
city
of
Longmont
to
Loveland
and
Fort
Collins
and
the
university
so
wanting
to
be
able
to
sustain
and
grow
the
different
types
of
Transit
options
that
can
serve
people
throughout
the
county
and
and
connecting
people
on
Beyond
of
next
slide.
Please
Stacy
and
then
we
often
talk
about
our
regional
corridors.
J
And
again,
this
map
is
from
our
transportation
plan
and
highlights
a
lot
of
the
our
our
regional
corridors
that
connect
our
communities
together
and
each
one
of
these
corridors
is
important
in
and
of
itself,
as
I
mentioned,
the
the
bus,
Rapid
Transit,
the
biking
and
safety
improvements,
but
what
I?
What
helps
me
when
it
is?
When
I
look
at
this
map
and
I
think
about
the
network
of
Mobility
by
creating
each
of
these
corridors
and
identifying
funding
through
our
sales
tax
that
can
be.
J
You
know
we
can't
afford
to
build
any
of
these
corridors
by
ourselves.
We
need
to
find
ways
to
take
a
feed
of
money
and
grow
it
into
Partnerships
locally,
at
regionally
state
and
federal,
to
bring
about
this
each
of
the
corridors,
but,
most
importantly,
this
network
of
Mobility
as
well.
Let's
go
ahead
to
the
next
slide,
please
Stacy!
J
So
as
we
were
starting
on
this
process
earlier
this
year.
Looking
at
how
do
we
consider
our
current
funding
level
at
the
Low
Book
end,
which
is
the
0.1
percent?
You
know
all
the
way
up
to
a
penny,
and
we
said
you
know
what
are
those
different
options
and
then,
if
we
can
flip
to
the
next
slide,.
J
Stacy,
can
you
flip
to
the
next
one?
Please
there
we
go
so
the
idea
was
okay.
We
look
at
different
funding
levels,
I
talk
with
my
hands,
which
is
hard
on
on
soon,
but
and
then
what
could
be
funded
within
each
of
those
buckets
at
the
different
levels
of
funding,
so
that
was
a
process
we
went
through
earlier
this
year
and
reached
out
to
representatives
from
the
different
communities
and
obviously
at
the
higher
levels.
J
There's
more
things
you
can
fit
in
the
bucket
of
funding,
but
each
of
the
levels
are
allow
us
to
sustain
what
we're
doing
today,
and
so,
as
we
were
going
through
this
process,
we
also
let's
go
ahead
to
the
next
slide.
Stacy
thanks.
J
In
addition
to
that,
we
did
the
Boulder
County
to
polling
on
all
of
these
different
potential
ballot
items
and
including
three
different
levels
of
funding
for
the
transportation
sales
tax.
One
of
the
levels
was
continuing
at
the
current
0.1
percent.
Another
was
at
0.3
and
then
the
high
end
at
0.7
and
as
the
results
showed
it's
basically
where
people
feel
comfortable,
where
the
voters
are
more
comfortable.
Is
that
the
0.1
percent
level?
J
So
that's
would
be
continuation
of
the
current
funding
level
and
the
others
not
pulled
about
6769
percent
and
then
the
others
were
significantly
lower
than
that.
So,
based
on
that
information,
we
really
felt
it's
important
to
go
forward
with
a
proposal.
That's
at
that
current
level,
even
though
you
know,
through
our
scenario,
analysis,
we
looked
at
all
different
types.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
it's
really
what
people,
what
the
voters
will
feel
comfortable
with?
What
is
the
appetite
that's
out
there?
J
We
recognize
we're
in
very
challenging
Financial,
Times
and
families
are
facing
a
lot
of
different
Financial
pressures.
So
we
take
all
of
this
to
heart
and
we
really
see
that
the
those
polling
results
really
lead
us
in
the
direction
of
those
trade
extension
at
the
point
one
percent
Stacy:
let's
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please
and
I've
just
got
a
couple
more
slides
and
we'll
open
it
up
for
questions.
So
so
we've
really
been
then
focusing
on.
J
J
So
we
looked
at
these
pie
charts
the
one
on
the
left
is
how
we've
expended
the
sales
tax
dollars
in
the
past
and
kind
of
looking
at
categories
of
projects,
as
they've
described
and
again
about
60
percent
of
that
funding
was
going
to
roadway
safety,
15
for
regional
Trails,
15
for
Transit
and
10
for
regional
corridors.
So
you
took
a
look
at
that
and
then
we
also
looked
going
forward
again
with
our
current
Transportation
plan
and
our
new
Human
Services
plan
and
said:
okay.
J
This
is
just
a
starting
point
to
start
the
conversation,
but
this
option
would
be
kind
of
centering
the
roadway
safety
projects
at
55
and
keeping
the
regional
trails
at
15
Transit
at
15,
and
then
Regional
corridors
at
10,
but
being
able
to
insert
a
five
say,
approximately
a
five
percent
slice
of
the
pie
for
those
Mobility
Equity
programs
going
forward
so
that
again
there
could
be
the
predictable
sustainable
funding
for
those
and
also
help
us
have
funding
to
go
after
future
grant
opportunities.
J
And
as
part
of
this
process
in
terms
of
looking
at
the
different
ways
to
slice,
the
pie,
we've
also
developed
a
draft
project
list
for
the
first
15
years
of
the
or
the
next
15
years
of
the
sales
tax,
and
we've
been
sharing
that
draft
project
list
with
staff
from
each
of
the
local
communities.
So
I
appreciate
the
input
that
we've
received
from
city
of
Boulder
and
others.
J
This
is
kind
of
a
breakdown
of
how
it
it's
looking
right
now,
but
again,
it's
very
much
in
the
draft
stage
and
I'll
say
that
everyone
we've
sent
the
list
to
almost
all
of
the
emails.
I've
gotten
back
have
said:
well,
that's
nice,
but
I'd
like
to
add
some
more
projects
and
we'd
like
to
increase
the
dollar
about
preach
about,
but
I
think
well
that
that's
good,
but
it's
making
it
really
hard
to
get
the
math
to
line
up
so
we're
trying
to
look
at.
J
How
do
we
balance
this
out
and
in
looking
at
at
all
of
that
and
the
ongoing
need
for
funding?
One
of
the
proposals
we
would
like
to
bring
forward
for
the
commissioner's
consideration
is
extending
the
tax
on
an
ongoing
basis
rather
than
another
15-year
fixed
kind
of
sunset.
So,
just
again
recognizing
the
magnitude
of
the
need
and
the
ongoing
nature
of
these
projects,
Our
Hope,
would
be.
We
could
do
something,
that's
a
more
sustainable
and
longer
term
over
time.
J
And
that
really
gets
us
to
why
we're
here
tonight,
we'd
like
to
hear
your
input
and
feedback
suggestions
around
the
project
categories.
What
do
you
all
think
would
be
a
good
balance
of
approach
and
then
what
do
you
think
would
be
most
supported
by
the
community?
Those
are
some
of
the
questions
to
tee
up
our
conversation.
I
just
have
one
last
slide
around
what
our
next
steps
look
like.
J
So
we're
continuing
our
Outreach
with
the
local
communities
this
month
and
into
early
August
again
leading
into
the
August
4th
public
hearing
we're
appreciating
the
input
on
the
draft
project
list
from
the
local
communities
and
then,
as
we
mentioned,
our
hearing
will
be
on
August
4th,
so
Stacy.
Let's
go
back
to
the
last
slide
that
had
the
questions
on
it
and
I
I,
just
really
like
to
turn
it
over
to
you
all
for
any
additional
questions
for
us.
B
J
Sure
it
it
is
available,
I'm,
not
I,
think
it's
on
our
website,
but
if
not
I
will
make
sure
we
can
send
it
out
to
you.
We
have
provided
a
copy
to
staff
as
well
and
I
just
want
to
emphasize
it's
in
draft
form
and
we're
getting
a
lot
of
comments
and
suggestions
around
it.
So
but
I'll
make
sure
that
we
provide
you
with
a
copy.
B
R
Thank
you
so
much
for
this
presentation.
I
appreciate
your
making
time
to
tell
our
community
about
this.
I
just
had
a
quick
question.
You
mentioned
the
the
state
and
federal
Partnerships
as
a
way
of
helping
to
fund
these
projects,
and
I
was
just
wondering
what
of
kind
of
the
project
costs
for
the
draft
projects.
What
percentage
are
you
expecting
to
come
from
these
federal
and
state
sources
versus
the
sales
tax,
and
does
that
sort
of
align
with
the
historical
pattern
of
how
these
projects
have
been
funded?
In
the
past.
J
Sure
that's
a
great
question
and
Tim
or
Stacy
feel
free
to
to
jump
in
on
the
response,
as
well,
typically
for
like
a
federally
funded
project
or
a
project
through
the
Denver
Regional
Council
of
governments,
Transportation
Improvement
program,
it's
typically
80
percent
Federal
and
20
percent
local,
often
on
the
larger
projects.
What
we
might
do
is
cost
share
the
20.
So
there's
been
examples
like
the
Colorado
7
Corridor
design
project.
We
went
in
on
together
with
city
of
Boulder,
Boulder,
County
and
City
and
County
of
Broomfield,
where
we
cost
share
the
local.
J
The
local
match
in
some
types
of
federal
funding.
A
20
match
is
not
enough
to
be
competitive,
particularly
the
larger
scale
types
of
projects,
so,
for
example,
on
the
Colorado
119
Corridor,
we
have
put
in
a
grant
a
request
for
a
federal
program
called
raise,
and
that
was
actually
where
we
were
trying
to
I
think
we
have
over
40
percent
local
match
to
make
that
more
competitive
and
that
local
fun
match
funding
was
a
combination
of
local
plus
Colorado
Department
of
Transportation
funding.
J
So
each
one
kind
of
is
a
little
different,
but
generally
speaking
it's
the
80
20
rule.
R
Great,
thank
you
and
just
to
answer
your
questions
to
us.
I
would
be
really
interested
in
hearing
about
your
engagement
process
and
what
you're
finding
in
terms
of
the
the
different
groups
in
the
community
and
how
they
feel
about
where
these
different
project
categories
should
be
funded,
so
that
I
know
it's
not
it's
more
of
a
question
for
you
an
answer
to
your
question,
but
that's
that's
where
I
would
prioritize.
J
Sure
I'm
glad
to
share
that,
and-
and
it's
been
really
interesting
in
talking
with
you-
know
again-
different
groups
across
the
county
and
we've
seen
a
lot
of
interest
in
the
Bikeway
category
of
projects
and
also
in
transit
and
what's
interested
me
or
maybe
surprised
me-
is
the
high
level
of
interest
in
the
transit
categories
in
East,
Boulder
County.
So
in
we
I
presented
a
couple
weeks
ago
to
the
town
of
Erie
and
they're
very
interested
in
transit.
And
how
could
we
look
at
ways
to
grow
that
area
of
funding?
J
We've
also
had
a
lot
of
interest
and
support
for
funding
the
mobility
programs
as
well,
and
so
that
was
another
reason
why
we
tried
to
squeeze
in
a
little
bit
of
a
new
slice
of
pie
in
there
for
the
mobility
programs.
So
that's
some
of
the
flavor
I,
don't
know
if
Stacy
or
Tim,
if
you'd
like
to
share
other
other
thoughts,
we've
heard.
S
B
Excellent
man.
T
Thanks
Aaron,
thank
you,
commissioner
Levy
for
for
being
here,
I
know
you
have
and-
and
your
fellow
Commissioners
have
a
lot
going
on.
So
thanks
for
joining
us
tonight,
and
thanks
Kathleen
for
the
presentation,
I
I,
my
two
questions,
centered
on
sort
of
just
I,
guess,
maybe
a
little
larger
and
maybe
also
historical
context.
T
What's
sort
of
the
past
successes
of
Transportation
taxes
at
the
counting
level,
I
know:
we've
struggled
to
get
the
Statewide
ones
passed
at
a
number
of
bytes
at
the
Apple
over
the
past
years,
but
I'm
wondering
what
the
track
record
is
on
how
well
these
do
when
they
go
to
the
voters
at
the
county
level.
Historically,
we
had
a
lot
of
good
success,
or
do
they
generally
meet
sometimes
I'm
sort
of
curious.
What
that
track
record
is
sort
of
setting
the
stage
for
maybe
where
this
is
headed.
S
Them
well,
I
wasn't
involved
in
the
2000
vote,
but
yeah.
The
original
sales
tax
I
think
was
at
a
time
when
there
was
really
no
nothing
multimodal
in
Boulder
County
and
that
was
in
2000
or
2001,
and
then
we
have.
We
did
try
to
double
it
to
0.2
percent
in
2006
and
there
were
some.
We
didn't
have
a
detailed
enough
list
of
projects
and
that
that
didn't
pass,
but
then
in
2007
it
was
renewed.
So
we've
really
been
at
this
for
22
years.
S
The
first
one
was
a
seven
year
tax
and
most
recently
the
15-year
tax
is
going
to
end
in
2024.
T
T
Is
there
tend
to
be
any
sort
of
present
or
history
around
the
advantages
of
having
a
sunset
where
we
know
we
can
take
another
bite
at
that
Apple,
maybe
increase
it
to
meet
current
demand
or
coming
back
to
the
voters
on
an
indefinite
tax
that
exists.
Does
that
seem
to
be
any
issue
or
or
what
have
you
in
terms
of
coming
back?
If
we
need
to
calibrate
it
down
the
road.
I
Thanks
for
that
question,
I
I
might
take
a
crack
at
that,
we'll
see
how
well
I
can
do
with
it.
You
know
this.
This
is
one
where
our
our
polling,
firm,
Bob,
Drake,
Tommy
Drake.
I
He
made
the
observation
that
you
wouldn't
we
we
pulled
it
a
15-year
tax,
but
you
know
for
most
people's
time,
Horizon
their
planning
and
and
their
their
sense
of
their
finances
and
their
future.
That
basically
is
forever
and-
and
he
did
not
see
a
particular
downside
to
to
trying
to
go
for
a
permanent
tax
and
I
think
what
we'd
like
to
the
way
we'd
like
to
position.
I
This
is
to
to
get
this
tenth
of
a
cent
in
as
our
ongoing
base
funding
so
that
it's
secure
and
and
so
that
the
voters
understand
that
that
this
is
an
ongoing
need.
This
is
not
you
know
a
special
thing
that
we've
got
a
finite
list
and
when
we
get
this
list
done,
we
won't
need
it
anymore.
I
think
we
really
have
to
be
honest
with
the
voters
about
the
fact
that
if
we
were
to
make
it
a
15-year
tax,
we'd
be
coming
back
to
them
again
to
extend
it.
I
So,
let's
just
let's
just
call
it
what
it
is
and
then
you
know
we
saw
very
briefly
that
slide
that
showed
what
we
would
be
able
to
do
if
we
were
to
have
some
additional
tax
money
and
and
and
the
list
is
very
exciting,
so
that
having
this
secure
I
think
will
provide
us
with
an
opportunity
down
the
road
to
think
about
enhancing
it-
probably
not
in
perpetuity,
but
for
a
shorter
period
of
time,
to
really
speed
up
our
implementation
of
the
transportation
master
plan
and
the
progress
that
the
public
really
wants
to
see
on
those
those
nams
corridors.
T
I
appreciate
that
response
and
I'll
just
sort
of
answer
that
one
of
the
questions
that
was
posed
I,
you
know,
in
terms
of
where
that
category
fits
in
that's
important
to
me
is-
is
multimodal
and
really
connecting
all
of
our
sister
communities
through
Transit
and
bike
and
thinking,
if
we're
thinking
about
these
15
or
20
some
year,
Horizons
really
thinking
about
how
do
we
plan
for
making
sure
we
have
less
vehicles
on
the
road
and
start
to
build
that
future
for
ourselves,
and
so
that
leaning
on
transit
in
bike
corridors
to
me
seems
pretty
essential
to
sort
of
allow
us
to
arrive
at
that
future,
so
that
sort
of
priority
I
think
is,
is
quite
important
to
sort
of
keep
building
on.
T
B
Great
I'm
not
seeing
any
hands
raised,
I'll
just
talk
for
a
brief
comment.
I'll
just
reinforce
what
what
Matt
just
said
that
but
I
do
hear
from
our
residents
a
lot
about
the
important
of
those
Regional
connections
right.
So
the
bikeways
like,
for
example,
the
that
we
need
better
bike
connections
from
Gun
Barrel
to
Central
Boulder,
which
run
on
County
Roads
right,
like
Jay
Road,
for
example,
which
a
lot
of
people
are
scared
to
bike
on.
B
So
just
would
love
to
see
more
of
those
bikeways
connecting
our
different
communities
and,
of
course,
we
all
work
super
hard
on
Regional
Transit,
and
that,
of
course,
is
a
very
high
priority
as
well.
I.
Do
love
to
see
your
Equity
program
in
that
proposed
tax
revision,
so
that
I
think
that's
a
great
idea
as
well.
I
If
I
could
just
make
one
more
comment
or
observation,
you
know
on
on
that
point
and
and
Matt
Benjamin's
Point
as
well
about
the
regional
transportation
and
how
people
really
do
want
to
get
around.
I
I
We've,
we've
heard
from
the
bicycle
commuters
how
difficult
it
is
to
to
make
that
transition
from
the
county
Trails,
where
they
are
allowed
to
the
city
trails,
where
they
aren't
and
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
trying
to
Lobby
you
for
a
result
here,
but
just
that
you
know
we
we,
our
our
system,
is
coordinated.
It
has
to
be
coordinated
and
if
we
can
get
more
bicycle
commuters
on
Highway
7
Arapahoe,
which
we
do
not
want
to
widen,
that's
going
to
help
move
more
people
once
they
get
to
Boulder.
I
B
Absolutely
and
we
we
appreciate
that
collaboration
unit,
the
the
county
and
the
city
have
been
close
partners
for
decades
and
we're
extremely
grateful
for
that.
You
know
in
our
regional
bodies
like
Dr,
Cog
and
Northwest
America,
commissioner
Coalition
and
many
other
Arenas.
So
it's
deeply
appreciated.
I
know
our
staff's
work
together
extremely
well,
and
we
got
to
keep
it
up
and
I
know
we
will
Mark.
You've
come
in
just.
U
A
quick
question:
first,
thank
you
for
coming
tonight.
Claire
greatly
appreciate
it
without
going
into
the
specific
numbers,
with
respect
to
the
higher
levels
of
Taxation
that
you
pulled.
How
badly
were
they
underwater
as
you
as
you
moved
up
the
chain.
I
I
V
Yeah
the
other
thing
about
the
the
polling
numbers
too,
is
the
higher
number.
The
higher
rate
had
a
much
higher
percentage
of
strongly
opposed,
whereas
continuing
the
current
rate
had
very
few
people
who
were
strongly
opposed
to
it.
So
our
pollster
was
saying
that
that
was
significant
and
one
of
the
reasons
why
he
recommended
the
extension
at
the
current
rate.
E
Yeah
I
sorry
I
will
try
not
to
spend
too
much
time
on
this,
but
I
guess
it
was
I
was
just
wondering
if
there
was
a
voter
education
portion
to
this,
or
was
it
just
you
know
we're
gonna
extend
this
tax
and
worth
it.
You
know.
Was
it
just
based
on
numbers,
or
was
there
a
little
bit
of
explanatory
portion
to
what
kinds
of
things
you
might
be
implementing
with
this
tax?
In
the
poll
yeah.
I
Yeah
it
was,
it
was
basically
the
ballot
question
as
it
would
appear,
and
that's
usually
What's
Done,
because
if
you
do
more
than
that,
it
is
persuasion
and
you
you
don't
really
get
a
good
number.
E
Foreign
I
hear
you
I
think
you
know,
as
you
laid
out
just
some
of
those
things
that
you
can
do
over
time
with
a
little
bit.
More
funding
are
pretty
exciting
in
terms
of
what
sort
of
proposals
I'm
really
interested
in
I.
Think
I
really
strongly
align
sort
of
with
what
Matt
and
Aaron
were
talking
about.
In
terms
of
you
know,
protected
bikeways
and
then
Transit
options.
I
B
W
J
I
on
the
are
you
talking
about
on
the
survey,
so
the
survey
was
just
the
questions
around
the
funding
level.
It
didn't
cover
the
different
types
of
projects
that
we
don't
have.
Any
new
information
on.
You
know:
survey
results
around
Northwest
rail,
both
Boulder
County
and
city
of
Boulder
and
others
through
the
northwest
region.
J
Are
staff
were
participating
on
rtd's,
new
Northwest
Peak
rail
service
study,
so
hopefully,
through
that
effort,
we'll
be
getting
some
updated
information
around
the
you
know
public
thoughts
around
Northwest
rail,
but
we
didn't
get
any
through
our
particular
survey.
B
Okay,
well
I'm,
not
seeing
any
other
hand,
so
I
will
just
give
a
last
big.
Thank
you,
commissioner,
Levy
and
Kathleen,
and
everyone
else
for
being
here
tonight
and
educating
us
on
this,
and
we
wish
you
the
best
of
luck
with
your
initiative
going
forward
and
hopefully
we'll
continue
to
get
these
Transportation
dollars
flowing
for
these
important
causes
for
our
communities.
Yeah.
B
All
right,
so
we
are
turning
from
One
Transportation
partner
to
another.
So
do
we
have
there
we
go
Lynn.
Just
came
up
so
we're
welcoming
now
our
fantastic
RTD
representative
representative
Lynn
Geisinger
who's,
going
to
give
us
an
update
on
her
work
on
the
rtb
board
and
tell
us
what
they're
up
to
Lynn
so
good
to
have
you
here
tonight.
Thank.
Y
You
so
much
Aaron,
it's
very
nice
to
be
be
here,
and
thank
you
to
all
of
you
for
having
me
I've
got
a
presentation
but
I'm,
looking
forward
to
the
conversation
that
we'll
have
afterwards
I
am
the
director
for
district
o
just
to
lay
it
out
here:
I'm,
the
it's
basically
Western
Boulder
County
I
represent
Boulder
Louisville
Western,
Longmont,
Lions,
Superior,
Netherland
and
and
the
western
part
of
the
county
and
I
serve
as
first
vice
chair
of
the
RTD
board.
I
was
elected
three
and
a
half
years
ago
with
me
tonight.
Y
If
he's
a
if
he
can
turn
on
his
his
camera
for
a
minute,
I
just
wanted
to
introduce
you
to
Michael
Davies.
He
is
the
government
relations
officer
on
staff
for
RTD.
He
came
out
of
several
years,
working
on
the
hill
for
Senator
Feinstein
and
then
for
LA,
Metro
and
and
he's
doing
a
great
job
for
us
working
with
our
state
and
federal
and
and
local
public
affairs
teams
and
I
brought
him
along
in
case.
Y
You
asked
me
any
hard
questions
later,
so
actually
he
knows
more
details
in
some
ways
and
I
just
he's
not
with
us
tonight,
but
I
also
wanted
to
mention
Eric
Davidson,
who
represents
East,
Boulder,
County
and
Broomfield,
so
he
represents
Lafayette
Erie
all
of
the
along
those
areas
and
is
also
doing
he's
doing
some
very
good
work,
but
couldn't
be
here
tonight
just
very
quickly.
Y
If
he
go
to
my
slides
here,
I'm
not
sure
who's
running
those
looks
like
Emily
is
thanks
Emily,
you
could
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please.
Y
The
overview
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
big
initiative
in
August
and
then
state
of
the
system
reimagine
system,
optimization
plan,
which
is
about
service
that
we
can
expect
in
the
next
few
years.
I
think
you'll
find
that
interesting
and
then
a
variety
of
projects
that
RTD
and
and
city
of
Boulder
have
partnered
on
you've
heard
about
some
of
them
with
Kathleen
and
I'll.
Take
just
a
second
to
say
a
big
shout
out
to
your
staff
and
to
the
county
staff.
Y
Y
Because
I
wanted
to
get
the
the
advertising
out
to
people
who
are
watching
if
you
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
I'll
explain
it
a
little
more
I
assume.
Maybe
you've
read
about
some
about
this,
but
it
was
initiative
that
started
with
the
Colorado
Energy
Office
World
Tour
and
his
team
legislature
passed
a
bill.
Y
The
idea
is
to
try
free
fares,
zero
fares
in
the
month
of
August,
where,
when
the
ozone
ground
level,
ozone
is
the
highest
I
think
last
year
there
was
something
like
65
days
where
we
were
out
of
compliance
on
ground
level
ozone.
So
this
is
one
of
many
efforts
to
deal
with
those
air
pollution
issues,
zero
transit
fares
throughout
August,
and
it's
both
designed
to
to
hopefully
help
the
environment
and
to
start
bringing
Riders
back,
which
we'll
talk
about
more
in
a
few
minutes
next
slide.
Please
all
services
are
zero
fares.
Y
In
the
month
of
August
bus,
rail,
Paratransit,
accessorize,
Flex
ride
everything
we
will
not
be
adding
service
is
you'll,
hear
in
a
few
minutes
and,
as
you
probably
have
are
aware,
one
of
our
biggest
concerns
at
this
point
are
Workforce
issues.
So
we
just
don't
have
the
power
to
add
service
back
in.
Our
hope
is
that
we
won't
be
missing
too
many
runs.
Y
My
bottom
Point
here
get
the
word
out.
I
hope
that
you
will
join
us
in
riding
the
bus
early
on
tweet
about
it
post
it
on
social
media,
we're
really
trying
to
get
the
word
out
and
and
your
staff
County
staff,
the
tmos
in
the
area,
a
lot
of
others
are
are
helping
with
those
ways
of
getting
the
word
out.
Next
slide
talk
a
little
about
the
state
of
the
system.
Next
slide,
please.
Y
This
is
called
strategic
priorities.
It
could
be
called
RTD
challenges
just
as
well.
We
adopted
a
five-year
strategic
plan
in
2021
and
the
street
strategic
priorities
that
we
set
are
employee
ownership,
financial
success,
Community
value
and
customer
Excellence
next
slide.
Please
I
put
employee
ownership.
First,
it's
our
people,
power
problem
and
currently,
in
my
opinion,
it's
our
biggest
issue.
Y
It's
the
thing
that
is
keeping
us
from
being
bringing
back
more
service
and
right
now,
in
the
last
couple
of
run
boards,
we
haven't
really
been
able
to
bring
back
any
service
because
we
don't
have
the
employees
and
I
know
you're,
hearing
that
I'm
sure
you're,
seeing
it
the
city
and
the
county
and
and
hearing
about
it
in
so
many
other
ways.
It
was
an
issue
that
last
that
was
around
before,
but
certainly
the
pandemic
has
made
it
worse.
It's
a
broad
range
of
employees,
operators,
mechanics
cleaning,
crew
and
others
in
I.
Y
Believe
in
February
we
passed
a
new
collective
bargaining
agreement
and
I.
Think
RTD
is
now
offering
very
competitive
package
for
our
operators
and
and
other
Frontline
employees.
Y
Y
There
is
an
uptick
in
some
of
the
training
and
we're
hoping
by
fall
or
soon
we
will
start
to
see
a
different.
The
issue
that
it
really
raises
for
us
is
that
there
are
ongoing
canceled
trips
and
that's
not
the
the
sort
of
service
that
we
want
to
put
forward,
especially
with
free
fairs
coming
up
in
August
the
ideas.
We
certainly
hope
to
bring
people
back
to
have
a
great
experience,
so
we're
hoping
that
that
will
start
we'll
start
to
get
ahead
of
that
next
slide.
Y
Please
financial
success
and
an
unusual
report
right
now
we're
doing
pretty
well,
we
had
a
significant
stimulus
funding
funding
that
got
us
through
the
pandemic
and
I
say
most
of
our
TD's
funding
is
sales
and
use
taxes,
65
percent.
We
get
a
point,
four
percent,
which
was
the
base
tax
to
run
the
buses
and
and
the
base
system
originally,
and
then
we
added
I'm.
Sorry
0.6
is
the
base
tax
point.
Y
Four
percent
was
added
in
the
fast
tracks
initiative
in
2004.,
federal
funding
is
another
24
and
then
fares
and
other
things
make
up
the
rest
right
now.
Sales
and
use
taxes
are
coming
in
higher
than
projected,
so
RTD
has
been
able
to
take
money
to
some
of
the
stimulus
money
to
catch
up
on
what
was
a
290
million
dollar
maintenance
backlog,
which
will
be
huge
for
us
going
forward,
but
long
term.
Y
You
know
as
we
look
forward,
we
do
a
midterm
financial
plan
six
year,
projection
and
and
longer
term
funding
is
really
something
that
the
that
the
region
will
need
to
address
the
greenhouse
gas
rule
making
set
some
some
high
goals
of
increasing
Transit
six
percent
per
year
in
order
to
hit
our
greenhouse
gas
emission
goals
in
order
to
come
anywhere
close
to
that,
we'll
need
significant
additional
funding,
whether
that's
you
know
from
the
state,
from
local
governments,
with
their
own
taxes,
where
we're
partnering
or
going
back
for
some
other
sort
of
tax.
Y
An
additional
problem
that
we're
facing
is
in
2024
our
base
system
tax.
We
will
pay
off
the
original
debt
and
we
become
subject
to
the
Tabor
refund
Provisions.
So
we
may
have
to
go
out
for
a
Tabor
de
bruising.
It
will
be
challenging,
but
that
may
be
what
we
need
to
do
it
in
the
past.
It
would
have
cost
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
if
we
had
not
had
a
Tabor
waiver
next
slide.
Please.
Y
Customer
excellence
and
Community
value
we're
analyzing
these
through
surveys.
I
would
say
that
current
customers,
you
know,
are
fairly
satisfied.
It's
people
who
who
have
a
bus
they
can
take
or
a
train
they
can
take,
and
that's
generally,
people
that
are
satisfied
in
the
community
I
think
it
won't
surprise
anyone
to
say
we
need.
We
need
work.
You
know
it
would
not
be
easy
to
go
out
for
a
new
tax.
Y
At
this
point,
I've
been
sharing
the
government,
Relations
Committee
and
now
on
the
executive
committee
I'm,
the
liaison
with
our
government
relations,
team
and
so
I,
say
I.
Take
this
as
a
sort
of
a
personal
challenge
to
get
RTD
even
more
involved
in
many
of
the
regional
conversations
and
and
agendas.
A
couple
of
things
we've
done
recently,
just
in
the
last
couple
of
weeks
actually
is
we're
set
up.
Y
Zero
fares
on
the
national
early
voting
day
and
general
election
day
to
try
to
get
people
to
the
polls
and
we've
set
a
our
chair
has
set
a
zero
emission
bus
board
committee
and
I'm
hoping
we'll
be
working
with
the
the
new
Transit
zero
Mission
vehicle
Enterprise,
that's
based
in
CDOT.
We
have
ordered
17-0
Mission
buses
that
we
hope
to
get
in
2023,
so
we're
we're
moving
forward
on
some
of
these
Regional
goals
and
hope
to
be
able
to
continue
that
process
next
slide.
Please
yeah.
Y
If
you
happen
to
read,
The
Washington
Post
article
front
page
article
from
a
few
weeks
ago
about
the
15L
you'll,
see
that
they're
just
you
know
their
assaults
there's
hard
times
for
some
of
our
drivers.
I
will
say:
I've
asked
and
I'm
not
hearing
that
in
Boulder
and
so
I
hope
that
that
continues
to
be
the
case.
I
think
we
are
making
good
progress.
Y
Rtd
at
my
understanding
is
RTD
was
the
first
Transit
Agency
in
the
country
to
employ
mental
health
clinicians,
and
we
have
five
on
staff
homeless,
Outreach
mental
health
trying
to
get
people.
The
services
they
need
so
that
the
bus
area
of
Union,
Station
and
and
riding
the
buses
is
not.
You
know
a
solution
to
some
of
the
the
problems:
the
bus,
Concourse
they're,
making
some
short-term
enhancements
and
long
term.
The
bus
Concourse
will
be
probably
with
turnstiles
and
paid
Fair.
Only
I'll
just
also
mention
an
app
that's
out.
Y
Y
But
before
I
talk
about
that,
let
me
just
talk
about
where
our
ridership
is
now:
ridership
dropped,
70
overnight,
of
course,
in
March
of
2020.
same
on
Transit
all
over
the
country.
This
in
April
of
2020,
we
reduced
service
40
because
we
were
driving
empty
buses
right
now,
it's
coming
back.
It's
coming
back
slowly,
the
flat
iron
flyer.
Currently
we
just
run
the
ff1,
the
pre-pandemic.
We
were
moving
over
13
000
people.
Every
weekday
currently
we're
at
4
000.
Y
Every
weekday
I
think
that
number
is
about
the
same
as
it
was
in
January,
though,
and
usually
there's
a
big
drop
off
in
summer.
So
my
hope
is
that
as
school
comes
back
and
the
universities
come
back
in
the
fall
that
that
number
is
growing,
the
ab
bus,
the
same
and
the
skip.
The
numbers
are
increasing,
still
not
where
they
were
in
the
past,
but
again
I
expect,
as
we
get
to
fall
our
that
they
will
pick
up
the
skip.
Is
it
15-minute
frequencies?
Y
It's
going
back
to
10,
10
minutes
and
in
some
cases,
five
minutes
in
August,
as
we
start
to
pick
up
the
school
trips
next
slide.
Please
reimagine
RTD
a
number
of
number
of
people
from
the
city
and
county
participated
in
this
process.
The
system
optimization
plan
is
really
it's.
It's
a
an
operational
plan,
it's.
What
are
we
planning
to
do
for
the
next
five
years
and
the
goal
is
to
get
back
we're
right
now
at
about
70
percent
of
2019
service.
The
goal
is
to
get
back
to
85
percent.
It's
not
a
happy
goal.
Y
It's
not
where
I
want
to
be
it's
not
where
I
think
many
of
us
want
to
be,
but
given
the
work,
Workforce
issues
and
the
financial
issues,
that's
that's
the
goal
we're
at
now.
The
good
news
is
that,
in
after
comments
on
the
draft
plan,
this
area
came
came
ended
up
with
more
service
than
we
originally
ended.
Up
with
the
the
other
half
of
reimagine
is
the
Mobility
plan
for
the
future.
It's
an
effort
to
look
long
term
up
to
2050.
and
look
at
the
finances.
Y
Look
at
some
of
the
challenges,
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
is
most
exciting
about
the
Mobility
plan
for
the
future
and
I.
Think
the
Board
needs
to
to
refine
still
is
a
set
partnership
plan,
a
process
for
partnering
with
our
local
governments
as
a
way
of
trying
to
make
up
some
of
that
service.
Next
slide,
please.
Y
The
system,
optimization
plan
is
actually
coming
to
the
board
Tuesday
night
for
final
approval,
final
review
review
and
approval.
This
is
scoa.
It
should
be
Coe
cob,
the
city
of
Boulder,
the
the
SOP
restores
to
84
percent
of
service,
pretty
close
to
the
the
region-wide
number
Boulder
County
82
percent
of
service,
the
on
the
flat
iron
flyer,
the
ff2,
which
is
the
express
the
ff3,
the
ff4
from
Boulder
Junction
to
Civic
Center,
the
ff5
down
to
and
shoots
are
all
returning.
The
ff6
and
ff7
are
scheduled
to
be
discontinued.
Y
Boulder
Junction,
they
did
add
some
service
back
in
the
second.
In
the
second
draft
of
the
SOP,
the
ff4
and
the
ab2
will
return
to
there
to
Boulder
Junction
next
slide.
Please.
Y
And
finally,
just
wanted
to
talk
about
a
few
projects
next
slide,
please
that
we're
working
on
with
the
city
of
Boulder
and
the
county
and
and
Kathleen
mentioned
some
of
these
a
couple
will
be
mentioned
later,
so
I'm
not
going
to
spend
much
time
on
some
of
these.
The
bottom
three
of
the
downtown
Boulder
Station
expansion,
I,
think
staff
will
be
talking
about
later.
The,
Hop
I
think
everybody
knows
it's.
It
started
in
1996,
it's
a
partnership
between
the
city,
the
university
and
RTD,
and
it's
it's
been
a
huge
success.
Y
It
also
is
coming
back.
You
know,
I
think
the
hope
is
with
students
back
in
the
fall
that
it
will
start
to
really
regain
some
strength
and
the
gun
barrel.
Shuttle,
as
Kathleen
mentioned,
is,
is
farther
off
it's
down
the
road
but
looks
like
a
really
good
project.
I
think
RTD
is
very
interested
next
slide.
Please.
Y
Okay,
the
Northwest
rail
Peak
period,
study
I,
think
Tara
asked
about
this
in
August
of
2021.
The
board
approved
an
eight
million
dollar
study
and
the
the
reason
for
looking
at
this
study
right
now.
There
are
two
reasons
the
Front
Range
passenger
rail
commission
is
has
is
authorized
to
look
at
raising
taxes
to
to
create
the
Front
Range
passenger
Rail,
and
this
could
be
folded
into
that
and
with
the
iija,
the
infrastructure
act
Amtrak
was
was
funded
with
a
lot
of
money
for
potential
new
service.
Y
Whether
we
would
be
part
of
that
service
or
not
is
is
an
open
question,
but
the
study
is
designed
to
assess
Peak
service
three
morning
trips
from
Longmont
to
Denver
three
evening
trips
from
Denver
to
Longmont.
It's
24-month
study
to
update
engineering
plans
and
cost
estimates
and
to
to
look
at
design
that
would
not
preclude
a
future
full
build
out.
Y
So
this
talks
a
little
about
some
of
what's
Happening
Now
information
gathering
listening
sessions,
I
think
both
the
city
and
county
have
people
working
on
the
study,
advisory
team
and
and
giving
feedback
next
slides,
please
Colorado,
119
and
Colorado,
seven
or
two
of
the
first
or
the
next
nams
quarters.
I
should
say
that
are
underway.
Kathleen
talked
a
little
about
119.,
it's
a
great
project,
I
think
again:
staff
the
city
and
the
county
deserve
a
lot
of
credit,
I'm
working
with
RTD
and
CDOT
and
others.
It's
been
cobbling
together
money
for
many
years.
Y
Rtd
has
budgeted
33
million
towards
the
project
and
Dr
Cog
tip
funding
just
added
another
14.9
million.
So
construction
is
expected
to
start
in
2024.,
Colorado,
7
brt.
There's
a
group,
that's
ongoing
that
meets
on
that
there's:
a
10
million
dollar
design
study
underway
next
slide.
Please
and
the
system-wide
fair
study
and
Equity
analysis.
When
our
new
CEO
Deborah
Johnson
came
in
nearly
two
years
ago.
She
said
you
know
we
really
need
to
look
at
simplifying
fares
and
looking
at
whether
the
fares
are
are
fair,
whether
they're
Equitable
they're,
easy
to
understand.
Y
So
those
are
some
of
the
goals
and
to
align
fairs
with
the
service
value
provided
and
to
look
at
whether
we
should
be
lowering
some
of
our
fares.
That
process
you
can
see
the
schedule
down
below.
It
really
will
come
to
the
board
for
a
final
decision
in
probably
spring
of
2023
and
be
moving
forward
after
that
next
slide
foreign.
Y
Thank
you
very
much
I'm,
looking
forward
to
hearing,
if
you
have
some
questions,
what
are
you
hearing
from
your
constituents?
What
are
your
concerns
thanks
for
having
me,
let
me
know
what
I
can
I
can
do
at
RTD,
for
you.
B
Thanks
so
much
Lynn
for
that
information,
packed
presentation
all
kinds
of
great
stuff
in
there
really
really
appreciate
that
questions
or
comments
for
them.
We've
got
Bob
and
then
Tara.
F
Good
little
is
cross
street
from
here.
I
love
cross
street
from
her
and
I'm
so
happy
you're
here
presenting
tonight.
Thank
you
so
much
for
that
great
presentation,
then
Lynn
I
just
had
really
one
question.
I
I
think
RTD
operates
number
of
parking
rights
throughout
the
system
and,
of
course,
we've
got
a
big
park
and
ride
that
a
lot
of
people
use
both
commuters
and
people
who
go
to
the
airport
at
Table
Mesa.
My
right
is
an
RTD
property.
It.
Y
F
Of
the
things
I'm
hearing
from
the
community
is
a
lot
of
concern
about
a
crime
at
that
Park
and
Ride.
We've
had
you
know
car
thefts.
There,
we've
got
car
parts
stuff,
there,
we've
had
some
attacks
and
some
other
issues
there
and
in
talking
to
our
our
Boulder
City
police,
about
what
we
can
do
at
that
park
and
ride
to
provide
better
security
and
better
safety
and
discourage
crime.
F
You
know
they
say
that
you
know
they
do
Patrol
that
as
frequently
as
they
can,
but
they
said
nothing
would
be
better
than
if
we
could
have
some
cameras
there,
because
then,
obviously,
the
the
Bad
Dudes
would
know
that
they're
on
camera
and
when
a
crime
is
committed,
we
would
we
would
have
some
identification
of
that.
What?
What?
What
do
you
see
the
prognosis
or
chances
of
getting
some
some
close
circuit,
TV
cameras
in
that
parking
lot
to
discourage
crime
and
to
to
catch
folks
who
do
commit
crimes?
There.
Y
Yeah
I
need
to
check
in
with
our
our
chief
of
police
I'm,
actually
having
coffee
with
Boulders
Deputy
Chief
of
Police
in
the
next
couple
weeks
and
and
we'll
catch
up
on
some
of
that.
Y
I
know
that
the
crime
rate,
the
you
know,
the
stealing
catalytic
converters
is
what
they're
doing
and
if
you
saw
the
TV
report
on
that
from
I,
don't
know
three
months
ago,
or
so
the
it
takes
about
14
seconds
you'll,
you
lean
down
between
two
cars
and
and
they
it
takes
them
about
14
seconds
to
cut
the
catalytic
converter
out.
So
it's
a
hard
thing
to
catch.
At
the
same
time,
I
know
that
the
numbers
seem
to
be
going
down.
Y
The
numbers
I
think
were
89
stolen
last
year
or
something
right
now,
it's
running
at
about
three
a
month,
so
they're
still
happening.
Unfortunately,
they're
still
happening
everywhere
in
the
in
the
district.
At
you
know,
just
an
unprecedented
growth
I
know,
commissioner
Levy
just
had
her
stolen
a
couple
of
days
ago.
We
happened
to
be
talking
about
it,
so
I
will
check
in
again
on
cameras
and
see
I
think
you
know
the
problem
is
you
have
to
have
somebody
monitoring
those
cameras
and
ready
to
act
really
quickly?
Y
I
know
that
we
have
increased
the
the
police
presence
there
and
it
does
seem
to
be
helping
something.
F
F
Okay,
well
maybe
someplace
else
and
I
I
guess:
I
I'm,
not
obviously
a
law
enforcement
person,
but
I
guess
I'm
wondering
if
we
actually
have
to
have
those
monitored
24
hours
a
day,
whether
a
recording
would
be
sufficient
because
I
think
I
think,
but
our
police
tell
us
is
they're
really
trying
to
achieve
two
things
number
one
just
to
let
people
who
are
inclined
to
commit
crimes
know
that
they're
camera
and
therefore
they're,
probably
less
likely
to
commit
crime
and
then,
secondly,
obviously
once
a
crime
is
committed
and
reported,
the
police
can
then
go
back
to
that
tape
and
see
if
they
can
identify
the
individual
property
of
the
crime.
F
So
please
do
let
us
know
you
know
what
what
it
would
take
to
get
close
circuit,
TV
cameras
and
RTD
facilities
where
there's
a
lot
of
crime
committing.
If
it's
a
money
issue,
let
us
know
I.
Obviously,
I
can't
commit
my
colleagues
on
that.
But
if
it's,
if
it's
a
issue
of
funding
I
know
our
Police
Department
would
very
much
like
to
see
closer
circuit
TV
there.
They
said
that
would
tremendously
help
them
do
their
jobs
and
would
reduce
crime
at
the
park
and
ride
I'm
sure
that's
a
common
goal.
Z
F
Because
I
was
a
victim
of
a
crime,
we
have
had
many
many
many
Boulder
residents
notify
us
of
of
of
of
thefts.
You
know
from
that
that
particular
facility
and
and
yeah
and
talking
to
our
police
chief,
you
know
she
said
boy.
It
would
be
really
really
great
if
we
could
get
some
cameras
in
there
and
again,
if
this
is,
if
money
is
an
obstacle,
let
us
know,
because
we
can
talk
about
that.
If
there
are
other
reasons
why
RTD
wouldn't
want
to
put
cameras
in
there,
let
us
know
what
those
are.
R
On
this,
for
just
just
a
moment,
just
to
offer
a
little
bit
of
additional
information,
because
this
was
an
issue
and
I'm
so
sorry
to
hear
about
that
theft,
Bob
I
know
it's
it's
quite
expensive
and
not
not
exactly
easy
to
get
that
replaced.
R
But
I
talked
I
reached
out,
maybe
a
month
two
months
three
months
ago
and
talked
with
the
acting
police
chief
at
RTD
about
this
issue,
just
to
try
to
get
some
more
information,
because
I
I
had
also
heard
about
this
going
on
and
that
our
police
chief
was
talking
through
needing
some
more
support
in
order
to
prevent
our
police
from
having
to
kind
of
constantly
be
there.
R
What
what
I
heard
at
the
time
was
that,
a
year
or
two
ago
there
had
been
some
conversations
about
getting
some
cameras
and
things
involved,
I
think
the
pandemic
may
have
disrupted
some
of
that
work,
and
my
understanding,
though,
is
that
those
conversations
had
restarted,
maybe
a
month
or
so
ago,
and
so
I
think
that
our
police
chief
and
the
RTD
police
team
may
already
be
in
conversations
about
that.
But
I
think
one
of
the
other
issues
is
still
this.
R
You
know
of
kind
of
monitoring
the
cameras
and,
and
things
like
that,
so
there's
sort
of
some
ongoing
expense
and
it
may
just
take
some
more
collaboration
with
our
TV
but
I
think
at
the
time
rtd's
Police
Department,
like
many
other
departments,
were
incredibly
understaffed
and
just
having
a
hard
time
filling
positions
as
well,
and
so
it
seems
like
that's,
that's
part
of
another,
just
a
challenge.
Thanks.
Y
Thank
you,
yeah
and
and
I
know
that
the
two
police
departments
have
been
working
closely
together.
So
I
will
follow
up
both
both
like
I,
said
I'm
having
coffee
with
with
your
Deputy,
Chief
and
and
I'll
check
in
with
with
Steve
Martin
Gano
at
our
at
our
end
as
well.
Thanks
thanks.
F
B
Thanks
for
bringing
that
up,
Bob
and
Nicole
for
the
Edition,
look,
though,
that's
great
and
it's
a
concerning
the
community
Karen,
then
Rachel.
W
So
Lynn
great
to
meet
you
I
heard
wonderful
things
about
you.
Moving
on
with
the
Table
Mesa
park
and
ride,
is
you
want
to
buzz
from
the
community
and
I'm
going
to
give
you
my
anecdotal
Buzz
going
door
back
in
the
day
just
November,
and
that
is
a
lot
of
people
stopped
using
the
a
b
bus,
including
me,
but
not
just
me,
because
I'm
not
leaving
my
car
at
the
park
and
ride
I'm,
just
not
doing
it
so
I'm
driving
to
the
airport
and
I'm
putting
my
car
in
the
lot.
W
That's
right,
especially
for
short
trips.
You
know
yes
and
so
I
feel
like
we're
losing
a
lot
of
ridership
because
from
the
a
b
bus,
first
of
all,
because
people
don't
feel
safe,
putting
their
car
there.
It's
just
unnerving
not
to
have
a
catalytic
converter
when
you
get
back
so
it's
like
the
chicken
or
the
egg,
you
want
to
increase
the
ridership,
but
people
don't
feel
comfortable,
putting
their
vehicles,
slash
bikes,
anything
at
the
park
and
ride
it
just
doesn't
feel
safe.
W
Y
I
think
that's
a
that's.
This
is
a
very
good
information.
I
will
I,
Michael
and
I
will
definitely
follow
up
and
see
what
we
can
do
with
the
park
and
ride
I
I.
You
know
I
hate
to
think
that
we're
losing
Riders
because
of
the
park
and
ride,
but
we'll
follow
up.
W
Actually,
some
people
said
to
me
that,
rather
than
leave
their
car
at
the
park
and
ride,
especially
in
South
Boulder,
they
walk
their
suitcases
down
Table
Mesa,
instead
of
actually
the
car
does
that
you
know
anecdotal
Tara
is
telling
your
story.
My
sister
literally
does
do
that.
So
moving
on
to
the
next
thing
who
owns
I
know
that
you
closed
your
RTD
office
at
Boulder,
Junction,
correct
or
is
that
not
correct.
Y
I,
don't
think,
that's
correct,
there's
a
you
mean
in
terms
of
of
giving
of
Eco
passes
and
and
no
no,
the
actual.
Y
The
in
terms
of
the
station
area,
the
oh
yeah,
no,
that's
still
open.
W
Okay,
so
I
just
want
to
spend
a
minute
asking
you
about
the
Safety
and
Security
slash
crime
at
the
parking
lot
there,
which
I
know
is,
might
not
be
owned
by
you,
but
it
one
of
the
reasons
is
there
is
because
we
needed
a
Park
parking
garage
for
RTD,
right
and
I'm
wondering
if
we
can
talk
about
putting
cameras
there
as
well
or
does
anybody
know
if
there
are
cameras,
or
do
you
not
know
about
that.
Y
At
Boulder
Junction,
oh,
that
is
closed,
I'm,
sorry
yeah
that
is
close
and
yeah
I'm
with
you.
We
need
Transit
coming
back
there
and
I
think
the
parking
garage
is
open,
but
the.
W
It's
not
safe
is
what
I'm
saying
it.
It
has
a
lot
of
security
problems.
Y
Y
I'm
not
questioning
it
I,
just
it's
new
to
me
so
I
I
will
we'll
definitely
follow
up.
Y
W
W
I
will
say
this
that
when
it
comes
to
Union
Station,
we
don't
have
those
kind
of
problems.
We
have
different
kinds
of
problems,
we
have
more
like
theft
and
break-ins,
but
it's
still
a
big
enough
problem
that
you
know
it
should
be
a
high
priority.
So
that's
it
for
me
and
I'll.
Let
the
next
person
take
it.
Thank
you.
G
Hey
thanks
Aaron
hi
Lynn,
thanks
for
being
here
that
was
truly
an
informative
presentation,
so
I
really
appreciated
it.
I
will
back
up
Tara
and
Bob,
just
in
terms
of
you
being
able
to
relay
what
we're
hearing
from
our
constituents.
G
I
do
hear
from
people
that
that
used
RTD
to
get
to
Denver
daily
for
work
and
to
the
airport
that
they
don't
feel
comfortable
doing
it
as
much
anymore.
Due
to
the
car.
You
know
feeling
unsafe,
leaving
cars
there
or
feeling
unsafe.
You
know
at
the
other
end
at
Union,
Station
or
on
on
some
of
the
routes
so
passing
that
along-
and
you
know
that
is
I-
think
it
is
important
that
people
feel
safe
and-
and
you
know
sure
Bob's
catalytic
converter
should
be
there
when
he
gets
back
from
vacation.
G
Ideally
so
that
would
be
great
if
we
can
hear
back
on
that
and
then
I
just
was
trying
to
understand
when
you
were
showing
the
numbers
about
the
the
ridership
decreases
like
2019
2020
versus
today.
I
think
one
of
the
numbers
was
in
the
tens
of
thousands
down
to
four
thousand.
Maybe
and
I
didn't
write
it
down,
but
are
the
buses
full
when
that's
happening
like
is?
G
Y
So
you
know
I,
think
that's
why
in
my
mind,
those
are
really
high
priority
buses
and
right
now,
it's
all
about
Workforce
and
and
having
enough
people
to
to
be
able
to
drive
those
buses.
It's
not
all
about
that.
It
is
also
that
you
know
they're
trying
to
get
the
ridership
it
back
up,
but
I
definitely
agree
with
you
that
that
there
is
a
a
chicken
and
egg.
If
you
don't
bring
their
outs
back,
you're
not
going
to
get
the
ridership.
G
And
if
they're
not,
you
know,
if
they're
not
as
frequent
and
regular,
and
you
can't
you
know,
you
can't
count
it
just
showing
up
and
having
one
leaving
every
10
minutes.
So
you
used
to
be
able
to
then
it's
more
likely.
You're
gonna
take
your
car
right.
So
yes,
chicken
egg.
That
was
the
only
question
I
had
thanks
for
clarifying.
You
bet
thanks.
E
All
right,
thank
you.
I
had
a
question
about
the
fair
free,
August
I
assume
you
guys
will
be
collecting
data
about
what
kind
of
you
know
if
we
do
see
increases
in
ridership
around
that
or
what
you
know.
What
sort
of
the
outcomes
are
from
that?
Is
that
something
that
you
could
send
out
to
us
when
you
guys
have
information
about
how
that
looks
and
what
happens
yeah.
Y
Absolutely
you
know:
Salt
Lake
City
had
a
pre-fair
month
in
or
a
zero
Fair
month
in
in
February,
and
did
some
polling
and
and
saw
you
know
a
significant
increase
in
ridership
I.
Don't
know,
I
haven't
seen
the
polling
to
know
whether
that
ridership
was
sustained
afterwards,
but
during
that
month
there
was
Michael
is
really
our
Point
person
on
free,
Fair
August
in
terms
of
the
the
agreements
with
the
Colorado
energy
office
and
the
grant
we're
getting
there
and
and
Michael.
Can
you
talk
anymore?
I
know
we're
we're.
Y
Looking
at
you
know,
maybe
asking
questions
or
is
this?
Are
you
a
new
Rider?
That
was
a
question
that
Salt
Lake
asked
that
there
were
a
lot
of
new
riders
that
came
out.
Moon
fairs
were
free,
anything
to
add
there
Michael
on
the
polling,
yeah.
AA
Certainly
so
so
we
will
of
course
collect
ridership
data,
and
you
know
that's
largely
done
with
the
automatic
passenger
counters
when
you
get
on
buses
or
trains
in
terms
of
additional
data.
It's
part
of
the
requirements
of
the
grant
through
the
Colorado
energy
office
that
we
produce
essentially
a
Lessons
Learned
report
and
that's
due
by
December
1st
I
I,
think
we'll
be
done
with
it
well
before
December
1st,
but
we're
going
to
do.
AA
You
know,
survey
data
of
not
only
RTD
customers
but
also
RTD
employees
to
understand
you
know,
as
as
director
Geisinger
said,
you
know
we're
really
trying
to
recruit
and
and
encourage
a
Enviro
environment
that
is
safe
and
welcoming
for
people
to
want
to
come
and
be
an
RTD
operator
and
so
we'll
be
doing
work
to
try
to
understand
what
the
impacts
are
on.
Rtd
operators
as
well,
and
so
all
that
will
be
produced
in
a
full
report
and
will
be
made
public,
and
we
can
certainly
get
it
out
to
the
council
that.
E
Would
be
great,
thank
you
and
then
my
other
question
you
might
see
where
I'm
going
with
this.
But
when
you
talk
about
fares,
is
it
possible
that
we
could
also
maybe
talk
about
what
it
might
cost
for
a
municipality
to
have
a
free
Fair
line,
or
you
know
to
look
at
some
or
all
of
bus
routes,
Within
city
limits
being
free
before
evaluating.
Y
Yeah
I
think
that
that
the
city
staff-
it
may
be
a
little
older,
now,
I'm,
not
sure,
but
they've
done
a
lot
of
work
on
that
City
staff
and
County
staff
I
think
have
looked
at
what
that
would
take
to
have
a
city-wide
Free
Fair,
a
city-wide
Eco
pass
or
something
along
those
lines.
Y
I
don't
know
that
that'll
be
part
of
this
fair
and
Equity
study,
because
it's
you
know
it's
looking
at
the
whole
region,
but
I
do
think
that
at
least
based
on
current
pairs.
Some
of
that
data
exists.
E
Yeah,
my
understanding
was
that
some
of
that
was
seemed
fairly
old,
but
I'll
double
comment.
Thank
you.
W
I'm
sorry
I
now
remembered
my
third
question:
Lynn
okay,
and
that
is,
could
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
rail
I
know
that
a
lot
of
constituents
are
upset
because
I
believe
we
pay
taxes
for
something
that
didn't
happen.
Y
Well,
yes,
and
no,
you
know
the
the
taxes
are
going
to
all
the
system.
The
flat
iron
flyer
was
also
a
flat
fast
tracks
project,
so
the
fast
tracks
tax
that
was
that
the
Northwest
rail
was
listed
as
one
of
the
projects
in
the
fast
tracks
initiative.
Y
You
know
that
money
has
gone
to
the
flat
iron
flyer
project,
which
has
been
you
know,
as
I
said,
hugely
successful
in
terms
of
of
moving
people,
especially
you
know
before
the
pandemic,
and
hopefully
we'll
be
back,
but
that
that's
right,
you
know
the
it
was
also
it
was
a
project
listed.
There
are
four
rail
sections
rails
stretches
that
have
not
been
completed
from
the
fast
tracks
project,
and
that's
why
we're
doing
this
study
is
to
see
what
it
would
take.
Y
It's
it's
it.
The
train
will
always
it's
going
to
be
on
BNSF
tracks.
It's
not
light
rail,
it's
it's
full-on,
commuter,
rail
and
okay.
So
the
stop
in
Boulder
the
it
would
have
one
stop
in
Boulder,
which
is
at
at
Boulder
Junction.
That's
what
that
area
was
originally
intended
to
be
was,
and
then
it
goes
out
to
Louisville
and
down
through
Broomfield
and
and
other
stops.
Y
It's
it's
not
definitely
going
to
happen.
You
know
we're
doing
this
now,
because
there
is
potential
funding
through
these
other
possibilities.
Amtrak
or
Front
Range
passenger
rail
I
think
RTD
has
said
absent
something
else.
We
wouldn't
have
the
funding
for
it.
For
you
know
a
number
of
years
we
need
to
have
the
capital
funding
and
you
need
to
have
the
operations
funding
as
well.
So,
but
you
know
we're
seeing
some
potential
there
and
and
the
board
was
willing
to
move
this
study
forward,
so
we're
in
position
to
take
advantage.
W
Y
You
know
the
way
you
ask
that
is
part
of
the
you
know,
that's
the
issue.
What
what
my
point
is
is
that
RTD
can't
provide
the
long
range
doesn't
have
the
funding
to
provide
the
the
expanded
Transit
service
that
I
think
the
region
is
envisioning
and
the
greenhouse
gas
rule
making
and
other
things
you
know.
Certainly
a
tax
is
a
potential
I,
don't
think
that's
the
I
mean
my
hope
would
be
that
the
state
other
places
the
state
does
a
lot
more
funding
for
Transit.
Y
My
hope
would
be
that
the
state
we
might
be
able
to
work
something
out
there
or
it's
just
a
matter
of
how
much
chance
that
this
region
wants
and
how
we
get
to
that
point.
You
know
it
is
it.
You
know,
with
the
with
the
county
taking
on
you
know,
a
passing
their
local
taxi,
they've,
obviously
been
taking
on
some
Transit.
Those
things
help
I
think
the
Partnerships
are
a
promising
way
to
go,
and-
and
my
view
is
you
know
those
that
everybody
should
be.
Y
It
shouldn't
be
the
outlying
areas
that
are
being
asked
to
pay
into
Partnerships.
You
know
that
while
Denver
doesn't
I
think
that,
to
the
extent
we're
we're
partnering
that
hopefully
it
would
be
with
with
all
our
jurisdictions
and
that's
you
know
it's
up
to
the
jurisdiction.
Y
They
they
have
the
authority
to
Levy
a
tax.
You
know
RTD,
as
we
look
at
the
future.
I
think
we're
looking
at
all
kinds
of
options.
I'm,
certainly
not
here
to
say
we're
going
to
go
out
for
another
tax,
but
I
think
you
know
we
have
to
look
at
whatever
options
are
out
there
that
we
might
be
able
to
use
to
try
to
meet
the
goals.
Y
B
Anything
else:
okay,
great
well
I'll-
just
have
one
one
thing
here,
which
is
it's
really
it's
great
to
see
service
coming
back
to
Boulder
Junction,
we,
our
Transit
Villages
Tara,
pointed
out,
has
been
sadly
lacking
in
transit,
so
exciting
to
see
that
coming
forward.
If
that's
system
optimization
plan
passes
as
it's
proposed,
do
you
know
what
the
time
frame
would
be
to
bring
back
the
Boulder
Junction
routes
and
also
the
ff2
the
express
routes
downtown?
You.
Y
Know,
I
don't,
and
the
reason
is
that
that
with
the
workforce
issues
and
and
all
of
that
and
looking
at
ridership,
that's
a
piece
of
when
they
come
back
and
there
are
are
planning
staff
is
looking
at
ridership
and
Workforce
issues
and
finances
and
all
of
those
pieces
and
we'll
be
putting
you
know,
moving
forward
with
each
run
board.
We
do
three
round
boards
a
year
where
we
add
add
service.
Y
When
we
can,
we
tweak
service
in
September
in
August,
August,
20th,
I
think
there'll
be
bringing
back
the
service
that
they
dropped
for
summer
because
they,
you
know
they
don't
have
as
much
ridership.
They
don't
have
the
school
trips,
those
sorts
of
things,
but
they
are
not
able
to
put
out
a
schedule
for
when
those
things
would
come
back.
Okay,
no.
B
Worries
yeah
well,
I'm,
not
seeing
any
other
hands
so
Lynn.
Just
a
huge
thank
you
for
the
presentation
tonight
and
just
for
how
hard
you
work
for
us
on
the
RTD
board,
we're
just
incredibly
grateful
for
your
service
and
everything
we
do
for
the
community
for
transit
in
our
area.
Y
Well,
thank
you
very
much
and
and
back
at
all
of
you
thank
you
for
all
you're
doing
for
our
community
and
I
appreciate
being
here,
have
a
good
night
very.
B
AC
The
city
has
engaged
with
community
members
to
co-create
a
vision
for
productive,
meaningful
and
inclusive
Civic
conversations.
This
Vision
was
designed
to
support
physical
and
emotional
safety
for
community
members
for
staff
and
for
Council
Members,
as
well
as
supporting
democracy
for
people
of
all
ages.
All
identities
lived
experiences
and
political
perspectives.
You
can
learn
more
about
how
this
Vision
was
created
by
going
to
our
website
and
putting
productive
atmospheres
in
the
search
bar.
AC
That's
at
bouldercolorado.gov
searching
productive
atmospheres
next
slide,
Emily
the
following
are
examples
of
some
of
the
rules
of
decorum
found
in
the
boulder
Revised
Code
and
some
other
guidelines
that
we've
identified
to
support
this
Vision.
These
will
be
upheld
tonight
during
the
meeting.
All
remarks
and
testimony
shall
be
limited
to
matters
related
to
City
business.
AC
Thank
you,
Emily.
That
brings
us
to
our
speaker
list
mayor.
B
Thanks
so
much
Brenda,
okay,
everyone
gets
two
minutes
to
speak
and
our
first
three
speakers
are
Taylor
Mitchell,
Andrew,
Shoemaker
and
Julian
Royce.
AC
AC
AD
Good
evening,
can
you
hear
me
yes,
great:
okay,
Andrew,
Shoemaker,
10th,
Street
or
I'm?
Sorry,
7th
Street
in
Boulder,
bang,
bang,
bang,
bang,
bang,
bang,
bang,
bang,
bang,
bang,
bang,
that's
15
shots
from
a
semi-automatic
handgun
and
on
July
4th
the
gunman
traveled
to
University
Hill
and
took
15
shots
before
having
to
eject
a
magazine,
clip
and
put
in
a
new
one.
He
took
15
more
shots
ejected
a
magazine
clip
put
in
a
new
one,
took
15
more
shots,
ejected
a
clip
put
in
a
new
one
and
took
15
more
shots.
AD
A
total
of
60
bullets
were
fired
from
that
nine
millimeter
pistol,
20
more
were
fired
from
an
AR-15
style,
long
gun,
80
shots
altogether.
80
bullets
landed
somewhere
in
the
city
limits,
and
it
only
takes
one
bullet
to
kill
someone
miraculously
no
one
was
hurt.
This
time.
No
police
or
proverbial
good
guy
with
a
gun,
showed
up
to
return
fire
and
escalate
matters
further.

AB

Hello,
my
name
is
Julian
rice
and
I
work
as
a
psychotherapist
here
in
Boulder,
Colorado
and
I
want
to
use
my
two
minutes
to
advocate
for
two
things.
One
is
to
suggest
that
the
city
council,
decriminalize
psychedelic
medicine,
especially
psilocybin,
and
to
do
so
in
Services,
supporting
psychedelic
assistive
therapy
and
seems
quite
likely
that
psilocybin
and
MDMA
will
become
legal
medicines
to
help
treat
mental
health
issues
in
the
near
future
and
by
acting
now
to
decriminalize
these
substances.
D
The
city
council
can
take
a
historic
step
and
position
Boulder
Colorado
to
be
at
the
Forefront
of
the
frontier,
and
so
the
New
York
Times
in
an
article
published
April,
11
2022.
So
a
few
months
ago,
wrote
that
psychologic
compounds
like
LSD,
ecstasy
and
psilocybin
mushrooms
have
shown
significant
promise
in
treating
a
range
of
mental
health
disorders
with
participants
in
clinical
studies,
often
describing
tremendous
progress.
D
Taming
the
Demons
of
PTSD,
a
more
recent
study
published
in
the
Journal
of
nature
medicine,
found
that
over
the
course
of
three
weeks,
participants
given
standard
antidepressants
reported
mild
improvements
in
their
symptoms,
while
breast
cancer
showed
continued
signs
of
hard
to
treat
major
depressive
disorder.
By
contrast,
those
given
psilocybin
therapy
in
the
same
study
reported
rapid
and
sustained
Improvement
in
their
depression.
Their
brain
scans
showed
activity
across
large
swaths
of
the
brain.
D
This
suggests
that
psilocybin
therapy
increases
nervous
system
integration
and
increases
neural
connectivity
on
advocating
for
the
decriminalization
of
these,
but
specifically
to
support
the
emergence
of
psychedelic,
assistive
therapy
and
part
of
the
history
of
Boulder
Colorado.
Is
that
it's
long
been
at
the
Forefront
of
health
and
wellness
and
in
1896
I
was
doing
some
research
Dr
Harvey
Kellogg
of
Serial
Fame
opened
the
Colorado
sanitarium
at
4th
and
Mapleton.
So
I
think
that
this
would
be
a
good
move.
D
AE
Hi
there
can
everyone
hear
me?
Yes,
thank
you,
hello,
members
of
city
council,
thanks
for
allowing
me
to
speak
during
open
comment,
I'm
going
to
join
Julian.
My
name
is
Steven
Newman
I'm,
going
to
join
Julian
in
advocating
for
city
council
to
take
up
the
issue
of
decriminalizing
psychedelics
in
Boulder
and
would
like
to
share
a
few
reasons.
AE
AE
Psychedelic
assisted
therapy
to
train
counselors
to
hold
space
for
for
people
wanting
to
seek
out
psychedelic
medicine
Maps
chose
Boulder
as
one
of
the
sites
for
its
FDA
Trials
of
MDMA,
assisted
Psychotherapy,
partly
due
to
the
fact
that
there's
a
large
number
of
trained
therapists
in
the
area,
and
so
yeah
I
just
want
to
wrap
up
by
saying
I
think
this
is
a
huge
priority
for
the
city
of
Boulder
to
be
on
the
Forefront
of
this
issue,
and
I
would
Advocate
that
city
council
take
up
this
issue
and
move
to
decriminalize
psychedelics.
AE
AF
Greetings,
I
don't
see
the
counter
yet
I'm
Bridget
Mars
in
1919
19th
Street
I,
have
been
a
professor
at
naropa
University
for
over
40
years,
a
resident
of
Boulder
for
47
years.
I
am
also
a
holistic
health
practitioner,
having
worked
at
Alfalfa's
and
Pharmaca,
and
also
have
a
weekly
radio
show
on
kgnu
I'm.
Also
a
mother
and
a
grandmother
and
I'm
also
here
to
speak
in
favor
of
the
legalization
of
psychedelics.
I,
really
believe
that
these
substances
are
safe
and
something
that
our
planet
really
needs.
At
this
time.
Respectable
people
are
using
them.
AF
They
have
a
very
low
potential
for
abuse
and
granted.
There
needs
to
be
education
on
how
they
can
be
used.
I
one
of
the
classes,
I
teach
is
called,
creating
safe
set
and
setting
for
the
Psychedelic
experience
they.
The
planet
abounds
with
entheogens.
They
occur
in
many
many
different
plants.
They
are
Gifts
of
creation
and,
as
many
of
you
have
already
mentioned,
they
do
seem
to
be
so
effective
in
helping
things
like
post-traumatic
stress
and
addiction
and
depression.
AF
Suicidal
Thoughts
I
really
have
found
that
they
help
people
to
be
less
fearful
of
of
even
dying
when
that
time
comes
to
them.
They
also
can
Inspire
art
and
Beauty.
Just
think
of
the
music
that
has
come
out
of
the
Psychedelic
Renaissance
naropa
has
a
department
of
psychedelic
studies.
Cu
and
Europa
both
have
psychedelic
study
groups.
These
are
what
the
students
are
writing
about
doing
on
their
summer
vacations.
They
do
not
deserve
to
be
criminals.
I
believe
that
this
is
an
opportunity
to
help
wake
us
up,
so
we
can
be
better.
AF
AC
It
looks
like
Stephen
Heidel
may
have
also
fallen
off,
so
I
will
go
to
Nate
Stone,
who
I
know,
has
a
presentation,
so
Emily
may
need
a
moment
to
pull
that
up
or
she
may
not.
The.
AG
All
right,
thank
you.
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
all
right,
thanks
for
the
opportunity
and
just
quickly
thinking
through
these
slides,
there
is
a
resident
in
Boulder
who
decided
it
was
a
good
idea
to
install
their
TV
satellite
dish
on
city
of
Boulder,
open
space,
so
I
had
contacted
the
city
and
if
you
go
to
slide.
AB
AG
You'll
see
that
quick
or
abbreviated
timeline
there's
a
full
timeline
on
Slide
Five,
for
your
reference.
I
submitted
an
Inquirer
holder
in
May,
2nd
2021,
followed
up
in
June
Chris.
Let
me
know
that
there's
a
different
software
program
that
handles
those
and
appropriate
people
have
been
contacted
involved.
AG
The
prop
I
was
told
by
Allison
Rhodes
property
owner
have
been
notified
on
July
8th.
The
city
staff
will
follow
up
to
ensure
compliance
August
16th
about
a
month
later
and
keep
in
mind
that
I'm
prompting
these
updates.
They
are
just
coming
to
me
voluntarily
that
there's
a
30-day
period
to
allow
time
for
the
situation
to
be
remedied.
Should
the
dish
still
be
in
place
when
the
next
inspector
and
when
they
inspect
the
location
they'll
follow
up
with
appropriate
legal
action.
AG
AH
AG
If
you
want
to
skip
the
slide
three
four
sorry,
you
know
this
interaction
with
the
city
is
really
lacking.
Customer
service
respect,
integrity.
AG
You
know
as
I'm
I'm
sure
you
all,
along
with
the
rest
of
us
who
live
in
Boulder,
do
not
want
our
open
space
literally
with
satellite
dishes
or
anything
else
for
that
matter.
So
the
reason
I'm
here
tonight
is,
since
the
city
management
team
has
decided
that
they're
not
going
to
address
this
issue,
I'm,
hoping
that
one
of
you
can
assist
with
having
the
Satellite
Dish
removed
from
the
city
open
space.
B
AH
Thank
you
very
much
Nate
for
being
here
and
for
bringing
this
to
our
attention.
I
just
have
a
quick
question
and
I'm
not
asking
questions
about
the
regulation
or
whether
this
is
right
or
wrong,
but
I
just
want
to
a
little
bit
to
understand
a
little
bit
more
since
your
the
last
time.
You've
seen
it
in
May
is
the
dish
still
there.
As
of
I
don't
know
yesterday
or
today,
as.
B
Okay.
Next
we
have
Evan
ravitz
Patrick,
Murphy
and
Ramsay
abuita.
AC
AI
My
name
is
Patrick:
Murphy
I've
lived
in
Boulder
52
years,
the
planet
Burns
floods
and
dies,
while
Boulder
fiddles
with
climate
change.
How
many
of
you
worked
outside
the
last
two
weeks
for
a
living
with
no
inside
time?
None
of
you
Monday
was
hot.
Just
like
the
other
100
degree
days.
I'm
telling
you
you
don't
get
it
deep
thoughts
can
waste
time
we
are
so
far
behind
I
think
we
need
to
surrender
to
how
slow
we
are
regarding
climate
change.
AI
Nobody
likes
negative
facts
against
themselves,
especially
not
against
ourselves
for
all,
for
example,
all
the
many
failures
that
have
set
us
back
11
years
and
30
million
dollars
and,
for
example,
Mr
Cole
Stewart,
who
will
successfully
sue
the
city
for
1.3
million
dollars,
solar
incentives,
wind
incentives,
wrecks
and
energy
use
reduction.
Boulder
climate
inaction
seems
to
just
build
a
larger
bureaucracy,
a
great
expense
spending
at
least
half
of
our
taxes
on
Personnel
instead
of
real
carbon
reduction,
platitudes
and
collaboration.
Take
the
place
of
a
real
cost
benefit
analysis.
AI
AJ
Yeah
hi,
my
name
is
Ramsay
abueda
and
I'm
here
to
speak
in
favor
of
Boulder,
decriminalizing,
psychedelic
or
antigenetic
substances.
We've
been
organizing
the
community
to
speak
up
about
why
antigens
are
important
to
them
and
how
they've
helped
people
deal
with
trauma,
find
spiritual
transformation,
defeat,
drug
addiction,
connect
with
the
ecosystem,
access
empathy
and
be
a
great
adjunct
to
therapy.
There
are
no
other
substances
known
to
humanity
that
are
still
safe,
anti-addictive
and
provide
deep
modalities
of
transformation
healing
and
inner
exploration.
AJ
These
molecules
have
been
a
part
of
the
human
experience
for
Millennia,
with
many
indigenous
societies
around
the
world,
using
them
for
healing
and
communion
with
the
Divine.
Their
criminalization
is
a
crime
against
humanity,
and
this
is
where
we
ask
city
council
to
step
in
to
decriminalize
these
substances,
as
15
cities
across
the
U.S
have
already
done
so
far.
We've
spoken
directly
to
six
out
of
nine
members
of
city
council
and
I'm
Amazed
by
the
positive
reception
and
openness
we've
experienced
from
you.
AJ
This
definitely
seems
like
something
that
has
wide
support
among
city
council,
and
we
definitely
have
the
numbers
for
this
to
pass.
The
main
concern
I've
heard
from
a
couple
of
you
is
that
you're
too
busy
and
understaffed,
and
while
I
can
appreciate
the
council
has
its
priorities.
It's
our
job
to
show
you
that
this
issue
is
a
priority
that
is
important
to
so
many
members
of
our
community.
AJ
We've
been
speaking
about
this
for
six
months
now,
and
this
movement
will
keep
snowballing
and
snowballing
into
something
huge
that
has
no
sign
of
abating
anytime
soon
we
have
dozens
of
people
already
lined
up
and
eager
to
tell
their
stories.
We
have
hundreds
of
people
on
our
email
lists
who
are
eager
to
step
to
this
plate.
This
is
a
cause
for
the
whole
community
and
we
will
not
stop
speaking
until
we
are
heard.
Boulder
is
already
a
leader
in
the
frontier
of
heralding
these
substances.
AJ
AK
Can
you
hear
me
now?
Yes,
all
right
so
This
concerns
the
issue
that
we've
been
working
on
on
Twin
Lakes
Road
in
Gun
Barrel,
where
a
guy
named
Jonathan
Carter
a
criminal
with
eight
outstanding
warrants
last
year
he
may
be
in
jail
currently,
but
his
his
friends
are
still
living
in
an
RV
illegally
on
County
Road
in
the
city,
so
the
police
will
have
a
proposal
for
managing
to
so
that
the
city
can
be
able
to
have
their
camping
ban
in
apply
on
the
county,
roads,
sections
that
are
in
Gunbarrel.
AK
So
when
that
comes
up,
if
you
just
be
aware
that
we
have
this
guy
there,
so
the
second
issue
is
Gabe
Walker,
a
homeless
man
arrested
130
times
in
the
last
20
years
for
violent
crimes,
including
sexual
assault,
arson
carjackings,
following
and
attacking
women
assaulting
people
with
weapon,
lewd
conduct
burglary.
He
was
just
arrested
again
today.
AK
Why
do
we
have
people
who
are
clearly
dangerous
being
protected
by
the
ACLU?
AK
It's
it's
our
right
to
have
Safe,
Streets
and
I.
Don't
care
what
the
ACLU
says.
We
shouldn't
stop,
keep
accommodating
more
criminals
that
get
off
the
bus
in
our
bus
station
I
mean
the
list
of
the
list
of
these
criminals
is
amazing,
they're
rap
sheets
I
mean
I've,
been
digging
this
up,
and
so
anyway,
you've
probably
already
heard
about
this
subject
a
lot
with
the
encampments
The
Compassion
Warriors
are
going
to
get
in
your
ear
and
try
to
tell
you
that
they're
that
everybody
here
is
woke
and
we're
not.
B
Thanks
Mike
I
understand
that
Evan
ravitz
is
back
on
me.
Can
we
bring
in
one
piece.
X
X
X
Bob
suggested
that
Council
be
allowed
to
ask
questions
of
people
about
their
open
comments.
You
already
can
it
used
to
be
common,
but
it's
been
years
since
Council
engaged
here
with
citizens
constantly
telling
us
about
all
the
great
engagement
opportunities
is
no
substitute
for
actual
public
engagement.
AL
Good
evening,
can
everyone
hear
me?
Yes,
my
name
is
Chris
lordson
I'm,
currently
a
student
at
CU
in
Boulder
having
just
graduated
with
an
undergrad
degree
in
neuroscience
and
I'm,
starting
a
graduate
degree
in
the
fall
additionally
I
work
at
the
Boulder
Community
Hospital
on
the
inpatient
psychiatric
unit
and
I'm
speaking
here
on
behalf
of
the
effort
to
decriminalize
psychedelic
medicines
in
Boulder,
as
a
member
of
the
student
population
in
Boulder,
I've
had
the
privilege
of
being
involved
with
the
cu's
Psychedelic
club
for
a
number
of
years
and
am
now
the
acting
president.
AL
AM
AM
The
City
and
County
of
Denver
passed
a
resolution
on
March
22nd
2021..
So
there
is
a
local
precedent
for
this
resolution.
The
U.S
nuclear
weapons
complex
has
caused
serious
Injustice
As
Americans.
We
must
seek
a
path
of
reconciliation
locally.
We
have
faced
challenges
from
the
contamination
produced
by
the
Rocky
Flats
nuclear
bomb
plant,
which
produced
70
000
plutonium
pits
for
the
nuclear
weapons,
Arsenal
fires,
accidents,
negligence
and
routine
emissions
left
contamination
in
the
area.
This
will
be
a
challenge
for
countless
future
Generations.
AM
Considering
the
house,
life
of
plutonium
is
24
000
years
the
special
Federal
grand
jury
called
Rocky
Flats
an
ongoing
criminal
Enterprise.
The
Injustice
goes
further
than
rocky
Platts.
The
U.S
has
conducted
more
than
one
thousand
nuclear
bomb
tests.
The
vast
majority
were
on
Western
Shoshone
land
at
the
Nevada
Test
Site.
The
federal
government
plans
to
spend
approximately
two
trillion
dollars
over
the
next
30
years
on
nuclear
weapon,
modernization
among
many
locations.
AM
AN
My
body
started
shutting
down
and
I
was
in
pain
all
over
constantly
fatigued
and
having
various
symptoms
such
as
numbness,
dizziness,
nausea,
brain
fog,
anxiety,
depression,
trouble,
sleeping
and
migraines
I
was
in
college,
studying
humanitarian
Aid,
and
my
doctor
told
me
that
there
was
really
no
cause
or
cure
for
this
illness,
but
that
I
would
be
in
pain
for
the
rest
of
my
life
and
that
I
should
buy
a
king.
I,
refuse
to
accept
this
fate
and
began
doing
research
on
causes
and
cures.
AN
I
tried
all
the
Western
medicine
treatments,
but
nothing
worked
and
I
was
only
getting
sicker.
This
brought
me
to
alternative
medicines
such
as
psychedelics,
which
allowed
me
to
connect
to
my
body
and
actually
feel
what
was
going
on.
I
noticed
that
Western
medicine
was
not
treating
the
part
of
so
much
of
chronic
illness,
which
is
trauma
and
emotions
stored
in
the
body.
AN
I
was
able
to
accept
my
diagnosis,
feel
where,
in
my
body,
the
trauma
was
being
stored
and
finally
able
to
cure
what
10
years
of
talk
therapy
were
not
able
to
I
have
since
been
working
through
my
illness
and
finally
dealing
with
the
symptoms.
Thankfully,
with
these
medicines,
but
only
in
third
world
countries
having
accessibility
to
these
medicines
that
my
ancestors
being
a
Mexican
woman
have
used
for
Generations
is
important
for
my
people
so
that
we
can
heal
in
the
way
that
our
people
have
always.
AN
It
is
interesting,
being
in
America
having
alcohol
be
legal
which
is
mainly
used
for
partying,
while
the
sacred
plants
that
could
be
transformative
for
so
many
people
with
chronic
and
terminal
illnesses
are
still
criminalized.
I
feel
Boulder
must
be
a
part
of
this
transformation
in
decriminalizing
these
medicines.
Thank
you.
AO
It
is
clear
that
psilocybin
is
safe,
safer
than
most
any
over-the-counter
medication
and
is
a
powerful
helper
for
healing
people
with
anxiety
and
depression,
especially
at
the
end
of
life,
continue
to
experience
healing,
with
the
help
of
psilocybin
two-thirds
of
participants
in
one
study
rated
their
psilocybin
experience
as
one
of
the
top
five
most
meaningful
experiences
of
their
lives
and
soon
a
peer-reviewed
study
by
Johns,
Hopkins
University
will
be
released.
That
shows
the
safe
and
Powerful
positive
mystical
effect
that
a
psilocybin
Journey
had
in
the
experience
of
Christian,
Jewish
and
Muslim
leaders.
AO
I,
know,
colleagues
who
participated
and
they
speak
of
a
positive
life-altering
effect.
I
myself
have
experienced
psilocybin
as
a
safe
and
sincere
form
of
prayer
that
has
offered
healing
and

I
consider
praying
with

sacrament
to
be
a
form
of
protected
religious
freedom,
I
helped
other

to
pray.
This

windows
with
rocks.
He
tells
the
officer
he
did
what
he
had
to
do
and
that
he
would

A
man
steals
a

the
backyard
he
has
several
warrants
from
other
states,
but
the
boulder
jail
will
not
Lodge
him
on
any
of
those
warrants.
A
group
of
teenagers
see
a
man
urinating
on
a
bike
rack
outside
the
target.
The
man
is
yelling
at
the
kids,
telling
them

going
to
kill
them
and
get
off
get
out
of
his
block.
The
man
is
walking
his
dog
and
a
man
with
a
shovel
tells
him
he's
going
to
f
him
and
his

then
smashes
construction
equipment
windows
with
his

is
riding
his

on
a
bike
path
with
his

get
the
F
out
of
here.
Hits
him
in
the
head,
causing
him
to
crash
threatens
to
kick
his

immediately
released.
AP
Man

camping
in
a
tent
tells

She
doesn't

yelling
die
a

Street
in
front
to
expose
himself
again
and
officers
have
to
tell
some
young
girls
to
look
away.
AP
We
need
more
State,
Mental,
Health
hospitals,
there's
only
one
in
the
entire
state.
In
1950
there
were
250
000,
long-term
psychiatric
beds
in
the
country.
Now,
there's
less
than
fifteen
thousand.
We
need
to
vote
out
soft
non-crime
judges
and
politicians
and
city
council
members.
We
need
to
get
repeat
offenders
off
the
streets.
We
need
to
hold
criminals
accountable
for
their
crimes
and
stop
the
jail
from
turning
away.
So
many
people.

B
AQ
Hello,
can
you
hear
me
yes,
hi?
My
name
is
Emily
Musgrave
I
am
speaking
today
to
Advocate
to
decriminalize,
psychedelics,
specifically
psilocybin,
and
allow
for
therapeutic
usage
in
Boulder
Colorado
as
a
licensed
mental
health,
counselor
and
yoga
instructor
I
believe
it
is
essential
for
psilocybin
to
be
decriminalized
and
allowed
for
therapeutic
usage.
AQ
We're
all
renowned
psychiatrist,
author
and
researcher
Bessel,
vanderkolk
specializes
in
post-traumatic
stress,
working
with
clients
and
conducting
research
over
the
past
50
years
he
has
found
psilocybin
and
other
psychedelics
are
the
most
effective
way
at
removing
and
or
reducing
trauma
compared
to
years
of
therapy
and
or
pharmaceutical
medications.
He
is
not
alone
in
this
opinion,
amongst
other
leading
Professionals
in
the
mental
health
field,
myself
included
due
to
personal
experiences
and
hearing
client
experiences.
AQ
I
do
not
believe
that
there
is
any
other
way
to
truly
combat
severe
mental
illness
and
addiction
in
the
course
of
one
day
or
experience.
Since
covid-19
mental
health
illness
has
risen
drastically
with
few
resources
available
to
our
community
by
decriminalizing,
our
community
can
become
healthier,
stronger
and
more
financially
stable,
due
to
individuals
being
emotionally
and
physically
able
to
hold
steady
jobs.
One
psilocybin
Journey
can
change
a
person's
livelihood
from
using
hard
drugs
feeling
suicidal
and
unable
to
function
into
a
happy,
passionate
fulfilled
individual
I've
heard
these
experiences
in
the
counseling
setting.
AQ
Personally,
it
allows
for
a
person
to
have
a
wider
and
healthier
perspective
on
life.
Personally
I
was
in
a
severe
car
accident
and
was
struggling
with
PTSD
diagnosed
by
an
outside
psychiatrist
and
counselor,
taking
medication,
daily,
counseling,
weekly
and
still
unable
to
function
after
one
psilocybin
Journey,
my
PTSD
decreased
drastically
and
I
was
able
to
function
without
medication
on
a
daily
basis.
Psilocybin
has
no
addictive
properties
or
harmful
side
effects
and
has
overwhelming
overwhelming
benefits
for
mental
health,
which
is
why
it
should
be
decriminalized
in
our
community.
Thank
you
for
your
time.

Amen
on
psychedelics
I,
don't
even
take
aspirin
but
I
support
that
that's
a
no-brainer
no
on
the
National
Defense
authorization
act,
840
billion
dollars.
That's
our
problem
here
in
local
Boulder,
that's
big
bucks
and
that
causes
All
the
Troubles
we
heard
about
tonight
and
Rocky
Flats.

Let
you

my

is
dedicated
to
you
in
spite
of
the
fact
that
I'm
missing
that
consent
agenda
3A
see
you
South
I
left
Boulder,
once
in
like
20
years
and
Fateful
time
in
February,
when
Sam
Weber
redirected
staff
against
a
five
a
500
year,
floodplain
plan
that
had
been
passed
by
planning
board
and
City
Council
in
a
study
session.
That
is
a
crime
that
is
not
okay,
3B!
No
on
the
library
district,
we
can
do
it
fine.
The
way
it
is.
AR
Let's
see
the
utility
architation
occupation
tax
replaced
with
the
cap
and
the
climate
action
plan,
yes,
and
really
deep
thinking
about
what
we
can
do
for
our
climate,
especially
like
in
the
landfill
for
the
demos
all
over
town
that
are
causing
all
the
homelessness.
I
might
add.
Okay,
now
1
1422
55th.
This
is
Michael
bosma
at
it
again
did
you
know?
Did
you
all
know
that
he
sold
off
the
fruit
house,
affordable
housing
for
311.?
He
sold
it
up
to
cash
in
Lou.
Is
this
what
you
do
at
the
city
council?
AS
Good
evening,
members
of
the
city
council,
my
name
is
Giselle
herzfeldt
and
I'm.
Speaking
on
behalf
of
the
Rocky
Mountain
peace
and
Justice
Center.
This
August
6th
and
9th
marked
the
77
year.
Anniversaries
of
the
bombings
of
Hiroshima
and
Nagasaki
across
the
world
and
in
our
own
nation
and
state
communities,
continue
to
Bear
the
scars
of
nuclear
weapons,
use
and
development.
Here
in
Colorado,
just
south
of
Boulder,
the
landscape
still
Bears
the
memory
of
Rocky
Flats,
a
nuclear
weapons
production
site
that
produced
over
70
000
plutonium
pits
for
nuclear
bombs
between
1952
and
1989..
AS
There
have
been
too
many
times,
despite
reassurance
from
our
leaders,
that
these
weapons
are
only
here
to
protect
and
keep
order
that
nuclear-armed
states
have
been
prepared
to
use
these
weapons
and
War
has
only
been
averted
at
the
last
minute.
The
current
and
ongoing
crisis
over
Ukraine
shows
that
the
looming
threat
of
nuclear
war
is
still
a
very
real
and
very
terrifying
possibility.
However,
there
is
still
cause
for
hope
that
Global
Norms
around
nuclear
weapons
are
changing.
AS
In
January
of
last
year,
the
treaty
on
the
prohibition
of
nuclear
weapons
entered
into
Force
at
the
United
Nations,
establishing
an
international
law,
a
categorical
ban
on
nuclear
weapons,
75
years
after
their
development
and
first
use.
Although
the
treaty
is
now
officially
written
into
international
law,
the
treaty
does
not
legally
apply
to
the
United
States,
because
we
do
not.
AS
We
have
not
signed
or
ratified
it,
but
that
makes
it
all
the
more
important
for
governments
within
the
U.S
to
endorse
this
treaty
to
create
the
pressure
necessary
to
usher
in
a
new
paradigm
free
of
the
threat
of
nuclear
Annihilation.
Here
in
the
United
States
over
60
State
and
local
governments,
including
Denver,
have
passed
resolutions
in
support
of
the
treaty
on
the
prohibition
of
nuclear
weapons,
as
we
mourn
the
anniversary
of
the
tragic
deaths
of
the
victims
of
Hiroshima
and
Nagasaki,
we
are
called
to
do
better.
AS
AT
Okay,
great,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
hello
city
council.
My
name
is
Keaton
gray.
I
am
a
licensed
social
worker
yoga
instructor
and
full-time
mental
health
therapist
here
in
Boulder
and
I
am
also
here
to
speak
on
the
importance
of
decriminalizing,
psychedelics
and
Boulder
I'm,
so
grateful
to
live
on
this
land
and
one
of
the
main
reasons
I
moved
to
this
area
is
because
Boulder
is
a
well-known
hub
for
cutting-edge
mental
health
treatment.
AT
I
also
moved
here,
because
I
am
aware
that
providers
in
Boulder
value
the
potential
in
psychedelic
assisted
treatment,
almost
every
mental
health
care
provider
that
I
have
talked
to
about
psychedelic,
assisted
treatment
here
feels
excited
about
the
Breakthrough
studies
that
are
surfacing
in
our
field
of
mental
health
care.
Treatments
like
psilocybin,
assisted
therapy
represent
to
us
real
hope
and
promise
for
improving
mental
health
care.
AT
This
is
why
today,
I
stand
in
full
support
of
decriminalizing,
psychedelics
and
theogenic
plants,
and
fungi
in
Boulder
decriminalizing
psychedelics
for
the
people
is
a
crucial
step
towards
integrating
this
medicine
safely
into
our
communities.
It
is
already
happening
here.
Underground
people
are
readily
accessing
these
medicines
and
as
a
provider,
decriminalization
is
also
a
crucial
step
in
the
direction
of
one
day
legally
and
ethically.
Providing
this
medicine
for
people
in
psychotherapeutic
settings
as
well.
I
have
had
multiple
clients
who
have
had
enlightening
experiences
with
psychedelics
and
plant
medicines.
AT
I
have
clients
who
want
to
seek
out
psilocybin
and
psychedelic
assisted
treatment
and
are
considering
going
to
places.
I
am
not
able
to
endorse
due
to
the
current
structure
of
Law
and
regulation.
I
believe
that
decriminalizing
this
medicine
allows
for
more
safety
and
support
for
folks
who
seek
us
out
as
a
people.
We
have
endured
so
much
in
the
past
recent
years
alone,
with
the
trauma
of
the
pandemic,
gun,
violence,
climate
crises,
economic
disparities
and
ongoing
systemic
racism.
AT
Because
of
this
I
believe
it
is
imperative
to
move
forward
and
allowing
our
community
to
access
these
non-addictive
highly
beneficial
medicines
that
can
radically
improve
mental
health
as
a
local,
therapist
and
social
worker.
I
fully
encourage
the
city
council
to
decriminalize
psychedelics.
Thank
you.
B
AU
AU
Our
director
of
parks
and
recs
has
been
communicating
directly
with
Mr
Stone,
but
I
want
to
say
and
acknowledge
that
it's
been
frustrating
as
addressing
both
the
Satellite
Dish
issue
and
an
issue
with
a
trampoline
as
well
has
taken
some
time
based
on
Parks
and
Rec's
prioritization
of
their
work.
But
I
know
that
our
parks
and
Rex
director
Ali
Rhodes,
has
personally
been
communicated
with
Mr
Stone
about
the
issue
and
has
been
providing
periodic
updates.
Last
I,
understood
and
Ms
Rhodes
isn't
here
which
she
wasn't
expecting
to
be
and
I
think.
That's
fine.
AU
We
can
certainly
make
sure
that
we
respond
and
get
back
to
Mr
Stone
on
the
issue,
but
last
I
understood
the
dish
had
been
moved.
Staff
was
working
to
verify
that
the
that
there
was
an
easement
that
existed
on
the
new
location
for
the
Satellite,
Dish
and
I'm
happy
to
follow
up
with
Ali
and
Mr
Stone
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
latest
information.
B
B
G
Yeah
I
had
a
couple
questions
for
Nuria
when
we
get
the
hill
update.
Just
want
to
make
sure
that
we'll
include
a
current
timeline
of
when
we're
going
to
hopefully
get
some
some
resolution
or
help
to
people
on
the
hill.
AU
We
are
planning
that
and
you'll
actually
hear
more
from
me
than
you
probably
do
in
most
presentations,
but
we
are
thinking
about
sharing
with
you
some
of
what
we've
already
been
talking
about,
which
is
kind
of
a
road
map
and
thinking
through
some
of
the
possibilities.
Some
of
that
will
require
your
input
as
we
move
forward,
and
so
we've
got
some
ideas
and
we're
excited
to
sort
of
share
out,
not
just
where
we
are
envisioning
going,
but
some
of
the
data
that
is
really
propelling
some
of
the
work.
G
Okay
thanks,
so
that's
coming
up,
I
was
going
to
ask
about
the
Satellite
Dish
too
I
will
say
it
seems
pretty
aggravating
to
have
to
like
do
a
slideshow
to
all
of
council.
Like
we
have
heard
you
know,
I
know:
I've,
exchanged
emails
with
this
individual
and
and
some
of
our
staff
and
I
thought
this
was
taken
care
of
and
I'm
sure
others
are
in
the
same
boat.
G
So
just
a
little
empathize
with
frustration
that
that
should
that
shouldn't
be
necessary
to
to
get
help
from
the
city
I
know
we
had
a
couple
requests
for
a
resolution
on
about
a
treaty
nuclear
prohibition
treaty,
and
my
understanding
is
that's
not
a
simple
resolution
like
there
are
some
city
codes
that
make
that
complicated,
so
I
wonder
if
maybe
Teresa
or
I
don't
know
Carl's
here,
whoever
can
speak
to
that.
Just
that
it.
G
AV
B
You
mind
if
I,
just
chime
in
Rachel,
just
my
I,
believe
our
Council
rules
and
procedures
say
that
we
should
not
weigh
in
on
National
or
World
issues
without
a
careful
consideration
and
Outreach
to
the
community.
So
I
think
we
have
built
into
our
rules
that
we
have
to
do
a
public
process
about
anything
like
that.
Yeah.
G
That's
my
understanding
too,
so
just
I
didn't
my
understanding.
Is
it's
not
simple?
That
is
accurate,
like
a
simple
ask,
let's
see
and
some
of
the
the
crime
complaint
that
we
got
is
is
there
are
we
due
for
another
update
on
like
Jill
release,
procedures
and
protocols,
those
those
changed
a
bit
during
pandemic,
just
wondering
where
those
are?
Could
we
build
that
into
an
upcoming
update,
I.
AU
Am
unaware
of
that
I
know
that
we're
gonna
have
our
Q3
update
with
judge
cook
and
with
BPD
on
crime
statistics
and
we'll
check
back
with
staff.
If
we
can
get
some
of
that
information.
G
That
might
be
helpful
because
I
know
it's
it's
out
of
you
know
it's
beyond
our
control,
but
I
can
I
can
well
empathize
with
the
frustration
of
somebody
you
know
being
arrested
with
an
ax
and
then
having
an
ax
back
threatening
people
that
afternoon
that
you
know
that
that
doesn't
make
sense
to
me,
and
then
this
maybe
is
a
question
for
mayor
Brockett.
We've
gotten
a
lot
of
testimony
on
psilocybin
and
a
requests
to
add
that
to
the
work
plan.
G
Is
that
something
maybe
we
could
just
touch
base
on
and
under
Matters
from
Council
and
and
maybe
I'm
not
aware
of
anyone,
for
example,
wanting
to
add
that
to
the
work
plan,
but
which
is
what
I
would
take
just
wondering
if
it's
worth
it
just
directly
having
a
really
brief
conversation
about
that
amongst
ourselves,
that.
G
Don't
want
to
make
Teresa
a
friend,
but
then
then
it
would
be
a
request
to
CAC
just
to
maybe
directly
respond.
You
know,
after
a
brief
conversation.
B
Absolutely
so
we'll
see
if
he
can
do
that
and
I
just
put
out
a
request
if
I
can
follow
up
Rachel
that
if
it
would
be
possible
to
get
statistics
on
the
number
of
arrests
and
and
and
prosecutions
or
tickets
for
psilocybin
possession
or
use
in
the
city
is
part
of
that.
That
would
be
really
helpful
to
get
a
sense
of
the
scope
of
the
issue
there.
So
that's
a
request.
I
would
make
if
that's
not
too
hard.
G
R
Thank
you,
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
on
on
one
of
the
comments
around
homelessness
and
in
crime.
I
think
sometimes
I
have
the
sense
that
there
are
folks
in
the
community
who
think
that
our
homelessness
or
crime
policies
have
dramatically
changed
since
the
November
2021
election.
R
But
my
understanding
is
that
the
only
thing
that's
really
changed
from
previous
council's
approach
was
to
add
a
few
more
beds
to
a
few
more
hotel
rooms
for
folks
who
are
experiencing
homelessness
to
go
to
on
really
cold
nights
and
I
was
just
wondering
if
somebody
could
clarify
that.
AU
I
am
I'm
just
trying
to
see
if
Kurt
or
Vicki
around,
which
are
not
and
I
know
that
we
did
make
some.
We
did
add
some
beds
and
I
believe
and
I.
Don't
know
the
timing
of
this
I
believe
at
some
point
we
did
not
have
the
triggers
that
was
about
when
conditions
was
added
as
some
one
of
the
criterias
on
which
to
activate
some
of
the
cold
winter
shelters,
but
I
I
would
have
to
get
back
to
you
on
the
on
the
details
of
that
council
member
yep.
AU
AC
AU
U
I'm,
smart
yeah,
I
think
Rachel
kind
of
alluded
to
this,
but
one
of
the
speakers
was
describing
somebody
who
has
a
hundred
or
a
hundred
plus
warrants
and
citations.
Obviously
we
don't
care
about.
You
know
public
littering,
but
is
it
possible
that
somebody
could
have
that
degree
of.
U
I
guess
Citation
for
for
criminal
activity
and
we've
done
nothing
about
it
and
if
it's
possible
to
get
just
a
two
minute
clarification
on
that.
You
know
at
some
point
in
the
near
future.
That
would
be
appreciated.
I,
just
don't
know
how
that
that
happens
and
because
at
least
the
description
of
the
crimes
seem
to
be
more
of
a
violent
nature,
and
this
you
know
significant
nature
than
again.
U
You
know
in
public
littering
or
or
the
kinds
of
crimes
that
that
you
could
have
a
lot
of
citations
for,
but
don't
really
don't
really
stack
up
to
a
threat
to
the
community.
G
I
just
colloquy
clarify
you
know
when
Mark,
you
said
we
do
nothing
about.
It.
I
think
that
if
somebody
is
arrested,
we
have
done
what
the
city
can
do
about
it,
which
is
police,
so
it
would
be.
My
question
was:
more,
are
people
not
being
you
know?
Are
people
being
released
from
jail?
Are
people
not
being
prosecuted
and
convicted?
So
just
I
was
I
was
not
a
intimidating
about
policing,
I.
U
Accept
your
colloquy.
Thank
you.
W
W
Time
I
agree,
I'm
agree
with
Rachel
I.
Would
love
to
use,
have
an
update
from
Judge
cook
as
to
what
is
happening
at
the
boulder
jail
and
at
what
point
we
can
arrest
people
and
do
something
about
some
of
the
increasing
crime?
Did
you
say
that's
happening
no.
AU
Well,
not
quite
yes
and
no
I
said
the
judge
cook
is
going
to
give
her
quarterly
update
on
what's
happening
at
municipal
court
and
what
her
work
encompasses
and
that's
usually
coupled
with
BPD
doing
a
presentation
and
an
update
on
crime
statistics.
But
what
I
said?
What
I
would
ask
the
chief
to
talk
about
or
see
if
we
can
get
additional
information
and
updates
on
some
of
the
jail
statistics.
W
Can
you
possibly
maybe
ask
judge
cook,
or
is
this
inappropriate
to
talk
about
where,
where
is
that
problem
I
mean
I
know
that
the
police
often
arrest
people
and
often
they're
back
out
on
the
street,
like
that
one
Community
member
said
in
reference
to
the
ACT,
can
we
get
to
the
bottom
of?
If
there's
anything
we
as
a
council
can
do
about
it?
Oh,
it's!
It's
frustrating
I,
don't
even
know
how
to
answer
the
community
on
this
I.
Don't
even
have
words:
Maria
I'm.
AU
Happy
to
let
judge
cook
know
that
this
conversation
took
place,
but
I
also
just
want
to
make
sure
that
not
all
of
what
happens
at
the
jails
codes
Under,
the
Municipal
Court,
that
there
is
other
activity
that
other
people
have
as
part
of
the
entire
criminal
justice
system.
AU
So
we'll
see
what
we
can
find
and
see
what
makes
sense
to
bring
to
you
for
awareness
and
or
if
there
are
other
partners
who
we
can
bring
in
to
speak
to
some
of
that,
we'd
certainly
be
happy
to
invite
them
to
do
so.
So
let
us
work
on
that
as
we're
thinking
about
those
updates.
AU
B
Great
thanks
so
much
I'm
seeing
more
hands
I'll
just
offer
one
thing
that
Mr
Shoemaker
was
talking
about
treating
things
as
purely
nuisances
on
the
hill,
just
to
know
that
I
think
I
personally,
I
think
council's
all
considers
these
much
more
than
just
nuisances
and
it's
important
to
make
progress
on
that
absolutely
so
looking
forward
to
the
hill
update
next
week,
and
then
we
are
our
immediate
other
action
is
the
bringing
forward
the
noise
ordinance
revision.
B
That's
coming
to
us
two
weeks
from
tonight
for
first
reading,
so
we
do
take
these
matters
seriously.
Okay,
so
I
think
that
takes
us
through
the
open
comment:
follow-up.
So
here
at
8,
44
PM
we're
all
the
way
to
our
consent
agenda
so
Alicia.
If
we
could
look
at
that,
please.
C
B
Thanks
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
quick
note
about
these
that
that
the
items
A
and
B
these
are
ballot
measures
that
were
brought
forward
by
the
the
community.
A
was
the
referendum
on
the
repeal
of
the
CU
South
annexation
and
B
is
the
library
district
ballot
item
that
was
put
together
by
assistant
petition,
just
to
say
that
we,
those
are
ones
that
we
don't
really
have
discretion
over,
were
sort
of
required
by
Statute
to
put
those
on
the
ballot,
since
the
work
has
already
been
done.
U
Mark
yeah,
I
I
understand
we're
putting
them
on
the
ballot
because
they're
citizen
initiated,
but
to
the
extent
that
we
have
to
vote
for
them,
I
assume
we're
free
to
vote.
Our
conscience
on
that.
U
No,
no
with
respect
to
the
two
citizen
initiated
ballot
items,
I
assume
we
can
vote
no,
even
if
we
understand
that
we're
it's
going
to
be
on
the
ballot
as
a
matter
of
law.
AV
AV
With
respect
to
the
library
district,
this
is
this
is
not
the
actual
ballot
item
for
the
library
district.
That
is
the
county
handles
that.
Instead,
what
this
is
is
it
would
it
would,
in
the
event
that
the
library
district
passes,
it
would
change
our
Charter
such
that
we're
not
required
to
have
a
library,
Commission.
B
Okay,
so
that
thanks
for
clarifying
that,
so
while
it
does
not
put
the
district
itself
on
the
ballot,
it
is
a
discretionary
thing
that
we
could
elect
to
not
put
on
the
ballot.
If
we
really
didn't
want
to
appreciate
it.
AW
Sorry,
if
I
can
interrupt
this
is
Kathy
haddock
with
the
city
attorney's
office.
It
not
only
takes
away
the
library
commission,
but
it
also
takes
away
the
dedicated
funding,
that's
required
so
that
it
frees
up
Council
to
do
the
funding,
as
it
may
determine
by
agreement
with
the
library
district
if
it's
formed
rather
than
having
Charter
requirements
for
how
to
do
that,
funding.
G
I
was
going
to
make
a
motion,
but
maybe
I'll
wait
till
after
Matt
goes.
Unless
he's
planning
to
make
a
motion.
T
I
was
not
I
had
a
clarifying
question,
given
the
referendum
on
the
annexation
for
CU
South
is
direct
democracy,
which,
by
definition,
bypasses
our
elected
body.
Why
is
there
any
action?
Well,
I,
just
don't
understand
why
it
still
has
to
come
through
us
it
to
me.
It
just
should
just
go
straight
to
the
ballot
like
it's
by
intent
to
bypass
us,
so
I,
don't
know
why
there's
still
a
a
stopping
point
for
us
to
have
to
say
yes
or
no
to
something
so
I
I'm,
just
not
sure
I
just
understand
functionally.
AW
I'll
try
and
then
you
can
fix
whatever
I
say,
but
I
certainly
understand
that
sentiment
and
I
think
it's
fine
to
put
on
the
record
what
you
what
your
personal
opinions
are.
However,
the
law
does
require
that
Council
be
the
one
to
put
things
on
the
ballot.
People
cannot
do
it
directly.
So,
yes,
it
is
something
you
need
to
do
and
we
need
to
have
happen.
The
record
can
reflect
your
personal
opinions.
T
Just
to
clarify
is
that
a
city
law
that
requires
us
to
put
voter
approved
initiatives
on
the
ballot
or
is
that
Colorado,
revised
Statute
related.
AW
B
B
Okay,
Taryn
Mark
did
you
want
to
say
something
before
Rachel
makes
motion.
W
Question
not
a
comment
so
just
to
be
clear
about
this.
Is
this
what
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
the
library
tonight?
If
the
library
district
passes,
then
this
is
what
we
need
to
do.
Isn't
that
the
question
it
isn't
about
whether
or
not
we
like
the
library
district,
is
it.
AV
So
councilmember
that
that
would
be
an
accurate
representation.
This
is
this
is
what
what
Charter
cleanup
is
necessary
to
allow
the
process
to
move
forward
and
not
tie
the
city's
hands
in
terms
of
the
commission
or
funding.
U
Mark
also,
procedurally,
these
will
be
coming
back
for
second
readings.
I
assume.
AV
Yes,
that's
right,
there'll,
be
a
public
hearing
and
a
second
reading
in
public
hearing
on
the
11th
for
these,
and
then
we
will
Council
May
deliberate
that
evening
or
if
the,
if
the
time
runs,
long.
I
believe
that
CAC
has
considered
continuing
that
deliberation
on
to
the
18th.
U
B
G
Sure
so
I
had
sent
a
hotline
post
out
recommending
or
suggesting
that
we
look
at
a
different
option
for
even
year
elections,
so
I'm
going
to
propose
that
we
passed
the
consent
agenda
with
the
version
that
I
sent
out
on
hotline.
So
that
would
be
I
guess
a
motion
to
pass
consent
agenda,
except
as
to
item
3D
on
ordinance
8541
even
numbered
year,
elections
to
promote
to
Second
reading
only
the
version
that
would
have
city
council
elections
continue
in
2023
and
2025
with
counselors
getting
three-year
terms.
G
And
then
even
your
elections,
beginning
in
2026
and
the
mayoral
direct
elect
election
continuing
on
track
in
2023
with
a
three-year
term.
So
I
guess
I
would
ask
Kathy
or
Teresa.
Is
that
an
acceptable
motion
that
gets
at
that
version?
I,
don't
know
if
anybody's
gonna,
like
it
anyways,
but
that's
that's.
The
motion
I'd
like
to
put
out.
AV
That
that
motion
does
specify
to
only
bring
one
forward
and
to
bring
forward
only
the
one
that
has
the
shorter
Council
terms,
the
direct
election
of
Mayor
and
continues
the
elections
in
23
and
25..
B
Much
very
good,
so
we've
got
some
hands.
Do
we
have
a
second
clarify.
B
Well,
yeah
I
just
want
to
get
that
second
opportunity
on
the
on
the
opportunity
and
then
we'll
move
forward
with
discussion
and
clarifications.
Is
that
a
current
hand,
or
is
that
from
before?
Okay,
then
Matt
Mark
and
Jean
I
just
thought.
AH
I
just
need
a
point
of
clarification
for
the
motion
that
Rachel
just
made
I
hear
two
things
I
hear:
Rachel
wants
to
move
forward
with
only
the
proposal
and
then
I
hear
the
City
attorney
saying
that
as
it
stands
right
now
it
the
hope
is
that
only
one
will
be
brought
forward.
G
I
think
that's
only
my
hope.
Somebody
could
make
a
counter
motion
to
say:
let's
move
both
of
them
forward,
so
anybody's
free
to
do
that,
I
just
putting
out
there
that
if
people
like
this
other
option,
let's
just
move
forward
with
the
one
does
that
make
sense,
I,
don't
think
City
attorney
well,
I'll,
let
them
speak.
But
for
me
it
was
just
speaking
for
myself
that
I
was
proposing
the
one.
AV
Yeah
and
I'm
happy
to
clarify,
to
the
extent
that
that
I
expressed
an
opinion
about
which
one
you
bring
forward.
That
certainly
wasn't
my
intention
and
I
apologize
for
that.
I
was
simply
stating
that
I
understood
Rachel's
motion
to
be
to
only
take
one
forward.
The
council
could
certainly
take
both
forward
if
it
chose
to
do
that.
If
that's
the
will
of
counsel.
B
You
see
Matt
and
then
Mark.
T
T
I
do
want
to
sort
of
I
want
to
acknowledge
and
I
recognize,
Rachel's
effort
on
this
on
a
couple
fronts,
because
I
think
what
she
has
I
would
say
accomplished
to
do
in
providing
this
modification
and
it's
something
I
greatly
respect
and
actually
support
is
we've
heard
from
the
community
that
we've
heard
more
that
the
mechanics
of
getting
to
even
your
election
was
where
there
was
some
rub
or
disagreement
with
with
regards
to
our
community.
What
we
didn't
hear
was
a
substantive
disapproval
of
the
merits
of
even
year
itself.
T
It
was
really
the
Hang-Ups
about
the
mechanics
and
so
I
appreciate
Rachel,
navigating
a
different
path
to
still
arrive
at
the
goal
of
reaching
even
your
election
and
and
doing
so
by
listening
to
some
of
that
Community
input
and
I
think
that
was
a
a
great
work
to
get
to
that
place.
So
I
I
just
think
this
didn't
just
get
plucked
out
of
thin
air
as
sort
of
just
another
option.
T
I
want
to
know
it
was
either
it
was
deliberate
and
done
so
in
a
way
that
was
really
sort
of
acknowledging
some
of
those
concerns
that
the
mechanics
were
just
not
quite
where
some
of
the
community
members
wanted
to
be.
So
in
this
instance,
we
alleviate
almost
all
of
those
concerns
with
some
of
those
mechanical
issues
and
still
arrive
at
the
ultimate
goal
of
even
your
elections
and
expanding
our
electorate
and
expanding
more
voice.
T
Some
more
choice
in
our
community,
so
so
I
commend
Rachel
for
doing
that,
but
wanted
to
really
qualify
that
motion
in
that
language.
In
that
context,
so
hopefully
that's
helpful
for
those
listening
and
perhaps
even
some
of
our
Council
colleagues
here
today.
So
thanks,
Rachel.
U
Yeah
I
I
I'm,
sorry
this
is
this-
is
government
by
impulse.
We
are
here
at
a
council
meeting
with
a
consent
agenda
which
we're
tossing
into
the
trash
can
and
by
the
way,
I
appreciate
what
Rachel
is
trying
to
do.
I
think
she's
doing
it
well,
but
we've
had
very
little
conversation
about
it.
We've
had
no
research
being
done
about
it.
U
This
is
this
is
not
governance.
This
is
you
know,
let's
just
get
it
done,
because
we
want
to
get
it
done
and
it
it
is
so
lacking
in
the
in
the
thoughtful
deliberation
that
one
would
expect
of
this
body.
I
just
find
that
remarkable.
U
You
know
at
the
very
last
second
we're
trying
to
deal
with
the
requirements
for
Signature
requirements
for
ballot
measures
as
well,
and
we
are
we're
just
careening
ahead
without,
in
my
view,
the
least
consideration
of
what
we're
doing,
how
we
well,
obviously
how
we're
doing
it
and
to
me
this
is
a
little
bit
absurd.
U
I
would
I,
don't
think
I'm
going
to
Prevail
because
there's
obviously
a
a
keen
interest
in
pushing
this
forward.
But
this
is
not
the
way
a
serious
body
should
be
governing.
You
know,
oh
sorry,
that
one
didn't
work.
Let's
try
this
one
and
you
know
where,
where
deliberative
body
we're
a
legislative
body
and
I
would
think
we
would
want
to
do
a
little
better
than
we're
doing
today
in
terms
of
saying
well
never
mind
on
that
one.
U
B
All
right,
Nicole
and
then
Rachel
I'll
call
in
myself.
R
Thanks
yeah
and
I
just
want
to
thank
Rachel
as
well
for
for
bringing
this
forward
again,
and
you
know
Mark
I
hear
your
point.
I
was
actually
also
kind
of
surprised
by
the
petitioning,
seeing
some
of
the
petitioning
number
language
show
up
there
and
I
wasn't
quite
sure
where,
where
that
came
from
or
or
how
but
I
you
know,
I
am
reminded
that
this
initial
proposal,
so
you
know
we
decided
to
move
forward
with
this
at
our
January
Retreat
and
Matt
and
Bob
had
kind
of
spent
some
time.
R
Thinking
about
how
you
know
some
different
options
that
for
how
we
could
do
this
and
I
think
that
this
this
option
that
Rachel's
proposing
is
actually
the
one
that
Bob
was
telling
us.
We
should
do
when
when
he
was
advising
us.
You
know
on
those
months
ago,
so
at
least
in
my
mind
you
know
this
doesn't
feel
like
it's.
You
know,
out
of
nowhere
kind
of
thing,
I
I,
think
you
know
this.
R
This
sort
of
reflects
a
case
where
we
probably
should
have
listened
a
little
more
to
to
some
of
the
advice
that
that
we
had,
but
I
I,
don't
see
it
as
you
know,
something
that
we've
that's
just
out
of
nowhere
this
this
has
been
in
the
works.
I
think
the
folks
who've
been
working
on.
R
This
Can
can
attest
to
the
time
and
thought
and
intention
that
have
been
put
into
how
we
make
this
transition
or
not
even
how
we
make
this
transition,
but
how
we
can
enable
the
community
to
decide
on
whether
or
not
this
is
a
transition
that
we
want
to
make
so,
but
I
I
would
I.
I
would
love
some
clarification
from
somebody
on
these
petitioning
numbers,
because
that
was
something
also
that
I
hadn't
really
heard
from
before.
U
Paul,
if
I
make
colloquy
for
just
a
moment,
we've
received
I
believe
tell
me
if
I'm
incorrect
on
this
two
staff
memos
on
this
subject
in
recent
days
or
weeks,
both
of
them
discuss
the
mechanisms
for
making
this
transition.
In
neither
memo
is
there
any
analysis,
research
or
discussion
of
whether
the
objective
of
doing
this
is
a
good
one.
We've
had
precious
little
conversation
about
the
benefits,
costs,
disadvantages
or
advantages
of
moving
to
a
an
even
year
election.
U
We
certainly
haven't
gotten
that
kind
of
research
from
staff
and
that
that
carries
into
my
characterization
of
this
as
governance
by
impulse,
not
governments,
governance
by
rational,
considered
judgment,
so.
B
Point
taken,
I
mean
I
know
we.
We
have
debated
the
merits
at
previous
Council
meetings,
but
you
know
point
point
taken:
we've
got
Rachel
and
then
genie
then
I'm
going
to
call
myself.
G
Yeah,
so
my
I'm
going
to
stick
with
it,
we're
going
to
get
into
the
substance
of
this.
It's
second
reading,
so
I'm
not
going
to
do
that,
although
I
would
I
would
you
know
perhaps
vigorously
spar
with
some
of
the
some
of
the
statements
and
objections
and
I
will
at
second,
you
know
when
we
have
conversation
at
second
reading,
but
as
a
person
who
who
brought
this
forward
I
do
want
to
thank
Bob,
for
you
know,
recommending
it
in
the
first
place.
G
I
wish
I
had
have
been
a
bit
more
open
to
it,
then.
But
this
this
wasn't,
as
Nicole
said,
plucked
out
of
thin
air
I
really
came
came
back
to
it.
After
really
listening
to
the
community
feedback,
we
were
getting
and
wanting
to
make
sure
that
the
the
focus
of
this
election
is
just.
Does
the
community
want
even
your
elections,
rather
than
do
people
want
this
Council
to
have
an
extra
year
or
to
delay
the
mayoral
direct
election?
G
So
when
you
know
that
that
needs
to
be
the
the
center
of
the
conversation-
and
that
was
the
focus
of
my
hotline
posters-
let's
just
get
back
to
the
basics
of
of
letting
the
community
have
that
discussion,
and
that
is
when
the
discussion
is
going
to
occur,
that
this
is
a
I
think
a
fairly
according
to
the
the
check-ins
I've
done
with
staff.
This
is
this
is
how
it
works.
G
We
have
on
something
like
this,
something
that
we
want
to
bring
forward,
and
then
the
the
heart
of
the
debate
and
the
community
input
is
the
actual
election.
So
it's
not
going
to
be
half
baked
in.
In
any
sense,
it's
we're
going
to
have
a
good
Community
dialogue,
and
then
people
are
going
to
really
directly.
Let
us
know
whether
they
want
even
your
elections
and
also
just
that
I
personally
felt
that
as
someone
who
did
not
want
to
serve
an
extra
year
after
after
I
understood
the
maths,
a
little
better.
G
One
of
the
objections
I
had
to
to
this
one
that
was
previously
being
lifted
up
was
that
it
was
going
to
cause
an
extra
election
to
have
to
occur
and
if
I
and
others
resign
and
don't
want
to
do
an
extra
term,
we're
already
going
to
have
to
have
that
additional
election
so
either
way
it's
going
to
be
three
elections
in
four
years
and
when
I
understood
that
better
and
took
it
off
the
table,
this
was
just
seemed
like
the
the
more
direct
and
sort
of
muscle
fuss-free
way
to
get
in
front
of
the
community
deal
want
even
your
elections
for
Boulder,
so
just
wanted
to
clarify
in
response
to
Mark.
AH
Thank
you,
Aaron
I
have
to
say,
although
today
I
would
be
supporting
Rachel's
proposal,
but
I
can
help
myself,
but
to
agree
with
Mark
that
yeah
I
can
understand
the
feeling
of
not
I
guess
having
the
opportunity
to
really
give
his
two
cents,
and
not
only
that
I
know.
This
was
posted
on
hotline
hotline
has
about
60
something
amount
of
community
members
on
it
and
that's
not
a
real
representation
of
the
community.
AH
B
You
that's
Jenny
so
and
I
I'll
just
say
that
I
think
I
see
that
this.
This
changes
about
being
responsive
to
public
feedback,
that
people
had
issues
with
the
mechanisms
of
extending
terms,
and
so
I
I
see
this
as
a
way
of
you
know,
focusing
on
even
your
elections
and
and
getting
rid
of
the
distraction
of
people
concerned
about
us
putting
someone
about
that
extends
the
terms
so
and
then
I
well.
B
We
certainly
could
move
both
forward
if
it's
the
will
of
majority
of
council
I
I'm
personally,
am
not
interested
at
this
point
in
the
in
the
term
extension
version,
so
I
would
rather
have
the
public
feedback
and
the
public
hearing
focused
on
the
the
version
of
it
that
that
has
the
three-year
terms
and
starts
in
2026,
because
I
think
otherwise.
B
We've
already
heard
a
lot
of
concerned
public
testimony
or
public
feedback
about
the
term
extension
versions.
I'd
appreciate
getting
the
feedback
from
the
community.
That's
focused
on
that
the
version
that
doesn't
include
that.
So
that's
why
I'll
I'll
support
the
the
motion
as
it
stands,
and
you
know
the
the
legislative
process
involves
talking
to
the
community
hearing
from
the
community
coming
up
with
some
alternative
proposals,
and
then
you
know
we
we're.
We've
got
a
public
Hearing
in
a
few
weeks.
B
We've
got
a
few
weeks
before
after
that,
before
we
have
to
get
it
on
the
ballot.
We
got
plenty
of
time,
we'll
get
something
very
solid
on
the
ballot.
If
a
majority
of
council
agrees
and
then
ultimately
it'll
be
up
to
the
voters
so
and
as
stated,
this
was
put
on
the
agenda
at
The
Retreat
back
in
January,
so
yeah
we're
I
think
we're
finding
our
way.
I,
don't
think!
There's
anything
in
toward
going
here
going
on
here.
AI
F
I'm
going
to
do
something,
I've
I,
don't
think
I've
done
before
I'm,
going
to
respectfully
disagree
with
my
colleague,
Mark
wallich
and
agree
with
my
colleague,
Nicole
spear
I
think
this
was
an
option
that
has
been
on
the
table
for
for
a
couple
months.
I
think
it
Matt
remind
me:
was
this
I
think
this
is
option
one
right.
We
had
like
four
options
that
were
on
the
table.
I
think
this
was,
if
I
remember
the
numbering
correctly
since
there's
option
one
we
talked
about
in
may.
AX
F
That
right,
Matt
option
one
yeah,
yeah,
so
I
think
this
has
been
in
front
of
us
as
an
option.
It
was
not
the
option
that
wasn't
initially
chosen
in
a
straw
poll
and
but
I
really
commend
Rachel
I
commend
all
of
you
who
who
are
who
are
considering
reevaluating
this,
but
I
particularly
recommend
Rachel
for
bringing
this
forward
and
and
laying
that
on
a
very,
very
clear
and
understandable
way.
F
I'm
still
going
to
vote
against,
putting
the
even
your
proposals
on
the
on
the
bellies
I
think
there
are
some
reasons
which
I
won't
get
into
tonight
that
this
is
not
such
a
great
idea,
but
I
think
the
way
the
majority
is
going
about.
This
is
really
smart
of
you
and
I
command.
All
of
you
who
are
going
to
vote
for
it
for
shifting
gears
and
and
reverting
back
to
an
option.
That's
been
on
the
table
for
a
couple
months
and
so
I
I.
Don't
think
this
is
last
minute.
F
I
think
this
is.
This
is
a
revisiting
of
something
that's
been
on
the
table
for
a
while.
I
do
agree
with
Mark
that
I,
don't
think,
there's
been
sufficient.
Community
engagement
and
input
with
respect
to
even
your
elections
generally,
but
that's
a
that's
a
different
topic,
but
but
I
think
this
option
has
been
around
for
a
while
and
I
I
really
appreciate,
Rachel
digging
it
back
up
and
I
appreciate
those
of
you
who
are
going
to
support
Rachel
again
I'm
going
to
vote
against
item
3D,
but
not
because
of
of
that.
F
It's
it's
just
more
of
a
general
opposition
to
to
you
and
your
elections,
but
I'll
I'll
save
those
comments
for
for
a
second
reading.
Thanks
thanks.
W
Chair
I'm,
just
reminding
you
all
that
I
pretty
much
begged
you
to
do
option
one
but
I,
know
my
husband
hates
when
I
remind
him
that
I
was
right
about
something
too
so
I'm
not
going
to
do
it.
I
take
them
back,
but
I
will
say
that
I'm
gonna
agree
with
Bob
that
I'm
just
going
to
vote
against
it
because
I
like
the
odd
year
better,
but
I
do
like
Rachel's.
Thank
you.
Rachel
I,
like
I,
like
what
you
said
a
lot
so
kudos.
B
I
I
will
grant
that
the
people
who
originally
supported
optional
and
get
an
I
told
you
so
right
on
this
one,
all
right.
How
about
we
move
to
the
vote
here?
I
was
not
seeing
any
other
hands
right.
So
at
least
I
believe
this
is
a
roll
call.
Oh
wait.
Matt's
got
something
just.
T
To
clarify,
because
I
know
that
Rachel
read
some
language,
but
I
just
want
to
clarify,
specifically
in
the
memo
that
that's
the
language
written
on
page
13
of
the
memo,
that's
under
85,
46
I
think
it
was
the
last
ballot
question
written
just
because
she
didn't
read
it
totally
verbatim,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
for
all
the
record.
We
are
you
know
on
point,
because
there
were
a
few
different
options
laid
out
there.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
it's
it's
that
one
in
particular.
So
it's
so
that's
our
starting
place.
T
You're,
saying
is
accurate,
I
would
ask,
would
you
would
you
would
you
would
it
be
helpful
if
I
read
it
and
that
you
confirmed
it,
and
then
we
know
that
that
is
the
particular
one
for
record?
Is
that
helpful,
Rachel
and
or
Teresa
I
just
want
to
make
sure,
because
usually
we're
really
specific
when
we
do
those
readings
to
pass
on
to
the
second
reading.
B
G
AV
AW
And
and
what
Rachel
proposed
is
ordinance
8546.
AW
B
C
B
J
C
B
Very
good,
thank
you
and
Tara's
got
an
old
hand
not
to
apply
the
word
old
to
you,
but,
okay.
Sorry,
all
right!
One
thanks
everybody
for
working
that
through
it's
a
complicated
one,
so
I
just
wanted
to
do
a
time
check
in
for
our
discussion
last
Thursday,
it's
a
little
bit
after
nine
I
think
what
we
have
left
we
to
talk
about.
We
have
the
three
call-out
possibilities:
the
station
seat,
the
raising
canes
and
the
landmark
alteration
certificate,
and
then
we
have
the
can
update
after
that.
F
Yeah
I'll
just
make
a
suggestion,
and
folks
can
disagree
with
me
if
they
like
I'd,
like
to
suggest
that
my
guess
is
that
some
of
these
call-up
discussions
may
take
a
little
while
and
I
I'd
hate
to
start
in
on
a
can
discussion
at
10
or
10
15
and
I
also
think
to
be
respectful
to
the
staff
that
are
here
for
that
that
we
need
to
let
we
should
let
them
know
now,
if
we're
not
going
to
go
forward,
I
hate
to
Hate
to
have
them
stick
around
for
another
hour
or
so,
and
then
and
then
so
never
mind
it's
possible
that
there
may
be
one
or
two
questions
on
really
posed
by
by
Council
to
staff
and
Matt
I
think
you
might
have
one
and,
and
so
maybe
we
could
do.
F
F
Ask
CAC
to
reschedule
the
can
presentation
and
that
could
be
at
a
study
session
or
a
council
meeting,
because
I
don't
think,
there's
a
lot
of
direction
from
Council
sought
tonight
by
staff
and
then
we
spend
the
rest
of
the
meeting
on
the
call-ups,
which
I
think
will
probably
take
us
till
10
or
maybe
a
little
longer.
So
that's
my
suggestion,
Matt!
Maybe
you
could.
Maybe
you
could
flesh
out
the
the
question
comment.
T
Sure
Bob
I
appreciate
it,
I
mean
yeah,
I
mean
I,
maybe
like
others.
I
do
have
some
some
questions,
but
I
I
mean
it's
9
15.
I
recognize
how
jam-packed
we
are
with
our
subsequent
schedules:
I'm
a
little
leery
of
pushing
can
out
already
because
it's
9
15.
and
if
consent
or
if
the
call-ups
end
up
taking
a
long
time.
T
Then
maybe
you
pull
the
rip
cord,
but
I
would
like
to
kind
of
Forge
ahead,
mostly
because
I
kind
of
want
to
get
that
update
knocked
out
so
that
we
can
continue
to
move
forward
on
some
of
the
substantive
stuff
ahead.
So
I
hear
what
you're
saying
and
if
we
get
to
a
point
where
we
need
to
pull
the
report
I'm
happy
to
move
forward
some
questions,
so
we
can
tighten
that
up,
but
I
don't
know
if
I
want
to
quite
do
that.
Yet.
G
You
know
this
job
is
not
all
that
fun,
so
I
wanted
to
say:
I
do
not
want
to
Kick
the
Can
on.
Can
there
it
is
that's.
B
Awesome
Rachel
doesn't
came
down
the
road
all
right.
How
about
I'll
just
speak
up
and
we
let's
see
if
we
can
get
through
these
call-ups
I
mean
if
they
take
an
hour
and
a
half,
then
we'll
revisit
I.
If
Transportation
staff
doesn't
mind,
but
hopefully
we
could,
we
could
get
through
them
in
a
timely
enough
fashion.
To
still
here
can
so,
if
Transportation
folks
don't
mind
sticking
around
with
the
possibility
of
not
getting
to
it,
but
hopefully
we
can
still
make
it
mark.
U
Yeah
I'm
gonna
have
a
hard
stop
at
about
10
10
15
today.
So,
however,
you
want
to
arrange
your
schedule
is
fine,
but
that's
that's
my
limitation.
B
All
right:
well,
let's,
let's
move
forward
and
if
we
can
get
Alicia
if
we
can
move
to
our
call,
it
next
call
up
item.
Please
all.
C
AY
Yes,
Garrett
Slater
principal
Transportation
projects,
engineer
for
the
transportation
and
mobility
department,
so
I
took
a
moment
for
my
microphone
to
the
button
to
actually
work
so
apologize
for
the
delay
there.
So.
AY
Good
to
be
with
you
here
this
evening
and
to
talk
about
the
the
seat
for
the
downtown
Boulder
Station,
gate,
expansion
and
I'll
go
ahead
and
advance.
So
the
the
background
and
purpose
of
the
project
is
that
the
station
is
at
its
capacity,
and
this
situation
is
happening
even
with
the
the
update
that
we've
heard
this
evening
from
Lynn
Geisinger
with
RTD.
AY
The
the
station
is
operating
at
capacity
and
it
was
identified
in
2017
the
need
for
additional
gate
capacity
in
order
to
meet
the
the
man's
and
provide
the
service
that
our
region
and
our
community
needs,
and
so
the
study
identified
the
opportunity
to
expand
some
gates
along
14th
Street,
with
the
the
recognition
that,
in
addition
to
local
service,
we
are
moving
full
steam
ahead
on
a
variety
of
regional
corridors
such
as
State,
Highway,
119
and
State
Highway
7
to
build
in
the
the
regional
transit
services,
and
so
the
downtown
Boulder
station's
purpose
is
to
be
able
to
meet
both
our
local
routes
as
well.
AY
To
orient
you
to
a
little
bit
better,
where
this
is
located.
Here's
a
bird's
eye
view
of
the
Civic
area
between
Arapahoe
and
Canyon,
along
14th
Street,
and
you
can
see
how
it's
situated
with
primarily
parking
lots
along
the
west
side
and
some
buildings
along
the
east
side,
so
different
from
14th
Street
north
of
Canyon
14th.
Street
south
of
Canyon
with
this
project
would
continue
to
operate
with
full
vehicular
access
and
not
be
limited
only
to
buses,
but
would
remain
open
to
passenger
vehicles
as
well.
AY
And
this
next
slide
depicts
the
improvements
that
are
proposed
for
the
project.
So
you
can
see
two
what
we
call
Sawtooth
Gates,
which
are
more
angled
Gates,
which
make
it
easier
for
the
buses
to
pull
in
and
then
pull
out
as
well
as
provide
for
lighter,
while
wider
loading
areas
for
the
transit
users,
and
we
also
have
a
Sawtooth
gate
on
the
east
side
as
well
as
two
parallel
Gates.
AY
We
are
also
showing
An
approved
pedestrian
Crossing
at
the
extension
of
the
Tea
House
multi-use
path
and
we're
also
showing
at
the
14th
Street
and
Arapahoe
Avenue
intersection
a
reconfiguration
of
the
lanes
such
that
we
would
be
able
to
allow
buses
to
be
able
to
make
a
southbound
14th
Street
to
to
westbound.
Arapahoe
movement
without
encroaching
into
the
eastbound
left
turn
lane,
and
that
was
a
condition
that
rtd's
operators
and
planners
said
that
needed
to
be
implemented
for
the
the
bus
gate.
Expansion
here
to
be
able
to
move
forward.
AY
So
the
project
has
been
subjects
to
a
seep,
which
is
the
community
environmental
assessment
process.
And
if
you
haven't
had
a
presentation
on
what
a
seep
is.
I'll
just
provide
a
brief
overview
that
this
is
a
process
by
which
we
screen
and
review
our
Capital
Improvement
projects
to
make
sure
they're
consistent
with
the
goals
of
the
Boulder
Valley
comp
plan.
The
individual
department
plan.
AY
In
our
case
the
transportation
master
plan,
as
well
as
other
current
studies
and
plans
that
are
applicable
and
so
there's
a
series
of
criteria
that
we
review
against
and
for
the
14th
Street
downtown
Boulder
Station
project.
We
identified
a
few
areas
within
the
seat.
That
would
be
of
particular
interest,
and
those
include
the
fact
that
this
is
in
the
high
Hazard,
as
well
as
the
command
zone
of
Boulder
Creek.
AY
We've
also
been
participating
in
robust
community
community
engagement
efforts
and
doing
so
with
pop-ups
social
media
and
we've
conducted
some
virtual
info
sessions.
We've
also
done
station
site
visits
with
folks
and
representatives
from
the
center
for
people
with
disabilities
and
I
want
to
specifically
call
attention
that
their
input
is
changing
one
of
the
aspects
of
the
design
and
that
we're
going
to
be
modifying
the
traffic
signal
so
that
we
can
provide
additional
Crossing
time
for
people
with
disabilities
similar
to
the
push
button
at
Broadway
and
Alpine.
AY
If
you
long
press
the
button,
it
will
provide
additional
time
so
that
folks
have
the
time
they
need
to
be
able
to
get
across
Canyon
Boulevard
from
one
side
to
the
other
if
they
happen
to
be
doing
a
bus
transfer.
So
we
greatly
appreciate
being
able
to
work
with
these
important
Community
stakeholders
as
a
part
of
the
overall
process.
AY
One
of
the
other
things
we've
heard
about
is
from
both
adjacent
landowners
as
well
as
general
community
members,
as
we
heard
tonight
from
the
RTD
update
concerns
about
security
and
with
the
expansion
of
gates.
AY
What
would
we
be
able
to
do
to
provide
for
the
desired
levels
of
security
along
the
facility,
and
so
we've
been
conducting
and
holding
meetings
with
the
security
and
the
RTD
police
Representatives,
as
well
as
our
own
police
department,
and
what
we've
learned
is
that
there
are
sufficient
infrastructure
in
place
at
the
station
right
now
for
the
the
team
there
to
be
able
to
monitor
the
the
situation
along
14th,
Street
and
all
we
need
to
do
is
provide
conduit
and
fiber
and
power
supply
to
14th,
Street
and
they'll
be
able
to
integrate
that
into
the
downtown
station,
so
that
they'll
be
able
to
have
CCTV
monitoring,
24
7
on
these
new
gates
and
also
about
evaluating
the
opportunity
to
provide
additional
security
Personnel
along
these
gates
to
address
some
of
the
concerns
that
we
heard
as
a
part
of
this
project
and
as
well
comprehensively
this
evening
earlier,
quick
highlight
on
the
budget
situation.
AY
AY
Is
that
we've
been
working
through
the
community
engagement?
We
met
with
tab
earlier
this
month,
we're
here
with
you
this
evening
and
so
we're
working
then
next
to
obtain
final
design
approvals
and
permitting
so
that
we
can
move
toward
construction
and
the
fall
of
2023.
B
So
much
for
that
Karen
I
was
very
informative.
Appreciate
all
your
work
to
get
to
this
point,
questions
or
comments
on
the
column.
F
Thanks
Garrett,
that
was
really
really
helpful.
I
appreciate
it
very
much
and
just
two
things.
One
I
hope
I'm
really
excited
to
hear
what
you
you're
planning
to
do
for
the
14th
Street
bus
station,
with
respect
to
cameras
and
fiber
optic
and
I
hope
that
that
can
serve
as
a
good
model
for
the
Taylor
Mesa
park
and
ride,
and-
and
perhaps
your
team
can
continue
to
work
with
RTD
on
on
that,
but
using
14th
Street
as
a
model
would
be
great.
Second
is
just
really
question.
F
I
know
it's
a
little
off
point
here,
but
you
mentioned
Canyon
a
couple
times
so
I
just
wanted
to
ask
I.
Remember
a
few
years
ago
we
Council
approved
kind
of
a
redesign
of
Canyon
with
with
some
new
streetscaping
and
and
bike
lanes
and
some
other
stuff.
Do
you
know
what
the
schedule
of.
AI
AY
It's
not
currently
in
the
CIP,
and
so
it's
the
the
the
challenge
we've
run
into
with
the
implementation
along
Canyon
Boulevard
has
been
lack
of
funding,
and
so
it's
still
within
it
resides
within
the
transportation
master
plan
and
it's
a
part
of
the
low
stress
welcome
bike
Network
as
a
as
a
segment.
That
is
a
priority,
but
it
hasn't
risen
to
the
level
of
being
able
to
be
funded
within
the
context
of
the
CIP.
But
we
are
continuing
to
explore
opportunities
to
make
that
happen
in
the
future.
F
Thanks
Gary
I
look
forward
to
hearing
more
about
that,
maybe
at
the
appropriate
time
thanks.
X
E
Thanks
so
was
the
site
plan
that
you
sent
out?
Did
that
sort
of
the
rendered
did
that
represent
your
complete
thinking
of
where
you're
at
right?
Now,
one
of
the
things
I
noticed
is,
it
looks
like
you
know,
the
trees
on
the
corner
of
Canyon
and
14th
on
the
east
side
seemed
like
they
might
be
getting
taken
out
and
I
was
just
you
mentioned
that
you
had
talk
to
Parks
and
Rec
and
had
some
revised
thinking
on
trees.
So
I
was
just
wondering.
AY
Yes,
we
have,
as
I
noted,
visited
with
forestry,
and
there
are
a
couple
of
the
the
more
mature
trees
that
are
located
on
the
east
side
that
will
be
removed
as
a
part
of
the
project
and
Forestry
had
provided
information
that
the
trees
that
were
looking
at
the
majority
of
the
trees
that
were
looking
to
remove
are
either
invasive
or
at
the
end
of
their
life,
and
so
they
weren't
very
concerned
about
it.
AY
As
noted,
there
is
a
high
value
oak
tree
and
there's
a
high
value,
honey
locust
that
we
are
going
to
integrate
into
the
project
and
then
for
the
trees
that
are
of
a
meeting
grade
value
for
all
the
trees
that
are
impacted.
We
will
be
replanting
new
trees
and
mitigating
and
working
closely
with
them
on
a
planting
plan.
AY
That's
correct
so
the
in
order
to
satisfy
American
with
Disability
Act
criteria.
We
need
to
have
a
flat
and
level
area
adjacent
to
to
the
boarding
of
buses,
and
it
would
be
due
to
the
root
structure
of
some
of
these
being
at
higher
elevation
than
the
curb
elevation.
It
would
be
challenging
to
grade
the
area
and
maintain
the
the
roots
for
some
of
these
streets,
which
is
why
they're
needing
to
be
removed.
E
Thank
you,
I
think
yeah
and
then
will
there
be
any
street
parking
retained
on
this
block
or
is
it
sort
of
all
transitioning
to
busts.
E
I
noticed
the
alignment
of
one
of
the
best
parking
spot
spaces
in
the
rink
seemed
very
tight
clothes
I
mean
just
the
way
that
entrance
works
for
that
building.
It
it'll
be
a
lot
to
have
a
bus
park
there.
All
the
time
were
there
any
other
options
you
guys
considered
for
how
you
might
be
able
to
fit
that,
or
is
it
there's
just
no
other
option
on
that
street.
AY
The
challenge
that
we
have
along
14th
Street
is
the
that
we're
keeping
all
the
driveways
and,
of
course
those
driveways
are
needed
for
access
to
and
from
the
businesses
and
the
buildings
that
are
present
there,
and
that
is
so.
The
space
comes
at
a
premium,
and
that
was
one
of
the
the
few
spaces
available
for
us
to
be
able
to
locate
what
we
call
the
parallel
gate.
AY
As
you
know,
the
the
space
in
front
of
that
building
is
tight
and
in
order
to
meet
both
RTD
and
Ada
criteria
will
need
to
widen
the
the
plaza
area
in
front
of
that
building
Frontage,
so
that
we
have
eight
feet
of
separation
from
the
the
back
of
the
curb
to
the
front
of
that
building,
so
we'll
actually
be
narrowing
the
street
and
moving
the
curb
inward
to
make
that
additional
space
so
that
it
meets
all
the
standard
criteria.
Okay,.
B
Thanks
for
that,
I
just
have
one
question:
for
you:
the
will
there
be
any
progress
on
the
multi-use
path
that
runs
mid
block.
That's
I,
think
designed
supposed
to
go
to
the
east
another
block
or
two,
or
are
we
going
to
be
able
to
accomplish
any
of
that
as
part
of
this
project.
AY
Not
as
part
of
this
project,
if
you've
been
in
the
area
recently,
you
might
have
noticed
that
when
we
reconstructed
the
15th
Street
bridge
over
the
boulder
Slough
about
a
year
ago
that
we
built
the
multi-use
path
going
Westward
to
about
the
halfway
point
between
14th
and
King
Street
and
the
liquor
mart
Redevelopment
will
be
building
the
multi-use
path.
Continuing
Eastward
for
between
15th
Street
and
16th
Street,
and
the
master
plan
calls
for
a
full
build
out
of
the
path
all
the
way
to
17th.
AY
So
the
section
directly
adjacent
to
what
we
call
the
the
James
travel
building
and
and
which
fronts
onto
14th
Street
has
been
up
for
Redevelopment
a
couple
times
in
the
past,
where
there
has
been
a
plan
that
called
for
implementing
that
multi-use
path,
which
would
close
the
missing
link,
and
so
we
are
with
this
project.
AY
B
Thanks,
that's
good
to
know
thanks,
Karen,
good,
well,
I
think
you
all
have
done
a
phenomenal
job.
I'm
excited
about
this
I
I
have
no
need
to
call
it
up.
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
getting
implemented.
Does
anybody
else
have
any
interest
in
calling
this
up
all
right,
seeing
lots
of
shaking
ahead
so
great
work?
Congratulations
and
thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
C
Our
next
one,
sir,
is
item
4B.
It
is
the
use
review
application
for
a
3716
square
foot,
restaurant
known
as
Raising
Cane's
at
30,
33
28th
street,
with
a
double
drive
through
and
a
615
square
foot
outdoor
patio
and
a
23
parking
reduction
that
has
been
requested
pursuant
to
administrative
review
number.
C
AZ
Were
you
able
to
see
the
presentation?
Okay,
wonderful
good
evening?
My
name
is
shabnam
Vista
I'm,
a
senior
planner
with
the
development
review
Department,
so
I'll
run
through
a
brief
call-out
presentation
for
the
drive
through
youth
review
for
raising
canes
this
evening.
AZ
Okay,
to
provide
some
context
for
the
site.
The
project
is
located
north
of
Belmont
Road
and
West
of
28th
Street.
The
rayback
collective
is
located
to
the
west
of
the
property
properties
to
the
east
and
south.
Consist
of
commercial
centers
and
fuel
service
stations
and
An
approved.
Drive-Through
use
for
Walgreens
pharmacy
is
located
caddy
corner
to
the
site,
and
this
was
approved
in
2008.
AZ
The
proposed
project
is
to
demo
the
existing
buildings
and
redevelop
the
property
into
a
new
Raising
Cane's
drive-through
restaurant.
The
applicant
has
proposed
a
approximately
3
700
square
foot,
restaurant
with
outdoor
patio
seating
and
two
drive-through
Lanes,
the
drive-through
Lanes
along
the
Eastern
side
of
the
property
front
along
28th
Street,
a
screening
wall
varying
in
height
as
well
as
Landscaping,
was
proposed
along
28th
Street
to
screen
the
vehicles
in
the
drive-through
area.
AZ
In
terms
of
the
hours
of
operation,
the
applicant
has
proposed
the
hours
of
operation
to
be
9,
30
a.m,
to
1
30
a.m,
Sunday
through
Thursday
and
then
closing
on
at
3,
30
a.m,
Friday
and
Saturday,
and
there's
also
a
parking
reduction
requested
at
23
percent.
That's
associated
with
this
project,
which
would
mean
that
they
would
be
providing
26
spaces
and
12
bike
parking
spaces.
AZ
AZ
Purpose
of
a
use
review
is
to
determine
whether
a
particular
use
and
its
potential
impacts
are
appropriate
for
the
location
drive-through
uses
in
Boulder
are
allowed
by
a
use
review
in
business,
community
business,
Regional
and
downtown
zoning
districts.
In
this
case
the
use
reviews
required
since
the
property
is
located
in
bc1
zone.
District,
The
Proposal
is
evaluated
per
the
youth
review
criteria
and
the
drive-through
criteria.
AZ
AZ
This
was
also
subject
to
review
by
planning
board
and
then
in
terms
of
process
staff
provided
their
approval,
May
19th
and
then
the
application
was
called
up
by
planning
board
June
26th
a
hearing
was
scheduled
for
June,
sorry,
May,
26
and
then
hearing
was
scheduled
for
June
16th,
where
planning
boards
denied
the
application
and
then
on
June
23rd
staff
presented
their
denial
findings,
which
was
then
adopted
by
planning
board
foreign.
AZ
Parking
reduction
applications
were
unanimously
denied
by
planning
board
finding
that
the
applicant
failed
to
demonstrate
that
the
applications
meet
the
review
criteria
for
the
use
review
standards
for
the
drive-through
standards,
as
well
as
the
parking
reduction.
We
also
have
the
planning
board
chair,
John
gerstal
here
tonight,
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
regarding
the
planning
board,
determination.
AZ
Also
to
summarize
the
board
finding
briefly
on
the
different
criteria,
the
the
board
found
that
the
operating
hours
and
the
double
dry
food
would
create
additional
pollution
and
noise
impacts.
This
would
also
be
a
service
for
patrons
coming
from
distances
in
their
cars
rather
than
the
immediate
neighborhood.
AZ
AZ
So
lastly,
I
would
like
to
note
that
denials
are
very
rare
in
the
city,
so
I'm
briefly
touching
on
what
city
council's
role
is
tonight
for
this
use
review
city
council
has
called
up
discretion
over
all
planning
board
decision.
So
if
Council
chooses
to
call
up
the
planning
board
decision
tonight,
it
requires
a
majority
vote
and
then
a
public
hearing
will
need
to
be
scheduled
within
60
days,
where
city
council
will
act
as
the
final
decision-making
Authority
in
the
event
that
Council
denies
the
application
at
the
hearing.
AZ
B
Great
thanks
so
much
for
that
and
just
want
to
welcome
Edward,
chair
John
kerstal
here
to
the
meeting
thanks
John
for
sticking
with
us
and
did
you
want
to
add
a
couple
words
to
it?
I've
said
or.
AX
I
think
shot
and
I'm
described
it
very
well.
I
don't
have
much
to
add,
except
to
note
that
there's
a
very
clear
document
that
that
held
hella,
the
attorney
helped
us
draft
to
describe
our
logic
in
making
this
denial,
so
I
hope
you've
had
a
chance
to
look
at
that,
because
it's
a
it's
very
clear
and
please
have
our
thinking.
B
Very
well
thanks:
we
did
receive
that
and
and
I
I'm
sure
we
all
read
it.
So
thanks
for
that,
okay,
we've
got
questions
here.
We've
got
Rachel
Tara,
Nicole.
G
If
we
are
just
at
questions
right
now,
my
other
question
is:
do
we
at
this
stage?
Do
we
need
to
disclose
any
ex
parte
Communications.
G
AV
AV
B
Mayor
well,
if,
if
anybody
can
do
that
that
now,
if
so,
if
we
can
just
have
a
quick
round
of
X
ex
parte
disclosure,
Rachel.
G
Yeah
I
did
I
was
at
an
event
and
I
ran
into
the
applicant
and
spoke
with
him
briefly
about
this.
B
Okay,
Matt.
T
Thanks
Aaron
yeah,
I
I,
don't
have
any
expert.
Take
communication.
I
just
I
need
to
disclose
that
I'm
represented
by
the
same
Law
Firm
that
Mr
Tebow
is
I,
don't
know
the
attorney
representing
the
attorney
that
represents
me
and
my
family,
just
as
a
state
and
family
sort
of
tax
related
stuff,
but
does
not
work
on
the
property
side
of
things
at
the
law,
firm
of
Packard
and
deer
king.
So
just
given
that
I
don't
have
any
conflict
given
all
that
and
I
can
certainly
remain
fair
and
objective
in
the.
B
R
I
just
had
a
brief
phone
message
from
the
applicant
that
I
listened
to
today.
I,
don't
expect
it
to
affect
my
decision
making.
B
AH
I,
don't
I'm,
not
sure
I
know
when
I
see
some
of
the
message
coming
through
when
I
ran
for
Council
back
in
2019
I,
remember
reaching
out
to
to
put
my
sign
on
one
of
the
properties
table
properties.
So
I
I,
don't
know
if
that
even
means
anything.
Two
years
two
and
a
half
years
from
now,
but
of
course
I
believe
I
can
be
objective
and
fair.
Just
like
math.
B
Very
good,
okay,
I
haven't
gone
through
that
questions.
We
got
Tara
Nicole.
B
Well,
you
can
ask
any
questions
you
want
right
now.
I
I
would
say.
Maybe
keep
your
questions
to
things
that
would
help
you
decide
whether
you
want
to
call
it
up
or
not
and
and
then,
if
you
call
it
up,
you
could
ask
all
kinds
of
detailed
questions.
Okay,.
W
Then
I'll
ask
this
question.
Doing
my
very
extensive
Google
search,
which
took
two
seconds
I
noticed
that
the
locations
in
Longmont,
Broomfield
and
Lakewood
close
at
11..
Would
there
be
a
way
for
the
applicant
to
change
their
minds
about
the
very
late
closing
hours
and
switch
over
to
the
11
o'clock?
Closing
time.
BA
So
the
operating
hours
at
9,
30
to
3
30,
are
our
standard
operating
hours.
We
do
have
many
locations
with
these
operating
hours
that
operate
successfully.
However,
you
will
see
other
sites
that
do
have
the
operating
hours
adjusted
and
that
is
based
on
our
customer
needs.
W
R
John,
thank
you.
So
much
for
being
here,
I
actually
have
a
few
questions
for
you.
That
I
was
hoping
that
you
could
clarify
just
from
the
information
in
the
packet.
R
One
of
the
things
that
it
sounded
like
was
that
there
was
some
concern
from
some
of
the
folks
who
are
living
nearby
where,
where
this
development
would
be-
and
it
sounded
like
they
were
concerned
about
noise
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
was
this
largely
coming
from
the
boulder
housing
Partners,
the
affordable
housing
development.
That's
really
close
by
on
the
other
side
of
rayback.
Is
that
where,
where
those
comments
were
coming
from
or
is
it
okay?
If
I
ask
that.
AX
Well,
I
I
think
there
were
comments
coming
from
folks
west
of
the
rayback
operation.
AX
To
be
honest,
I'm
I'm,
not
precisely
sure
where
the
residences
of
these
people
were.
They
indicated
they
were
close.
But
it's
it
wasn't
obvious
to
me
whether
they
were
in
the
in
the
building
that
you're
talking
about,
or
certainly
some
from,
the
West.
R
Thank
you
and
then
another
question
that
I
have
is:
if,
if
we,
if
planning
board's
decision
stands,
if
we
don't
call
it
up,
can
the
applicant
still
submit
something
like
a
slightly
modified
plan
that
you
all
would
then
review
again
in
planning
board
that
might
do
a
better
job
of
meeting
these
criteria?
According
to
your
your
perspective,.
AX
Yes,
we
we
did
go
through
that
question
and
and
we're
told
that
the
applicant
can
submit
another
application.
I
think
there's
a
one
or
two
hundred
dollar
fee,
but
there's
nothing
preventing
them
from
coming
back
with
a
revised
application.
R
Okay,
thank
you
and
I,
just
want
to
say,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
watch
a
planning
board
meeting
recently
and
I
was
just
so
impressed
with
the
way
that
you
all
are
working
together
with
the
thoughtfulness
and
intention
that
you
are
putting
into
your
decisions
and
I
just
wanted
to.
Thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
you
are
doing
over
at
planning
board.
It
was
truly
heartwarming
and
just
really
inspirational
to
see
the
way
that
you
all
were
working
together
and
you
know
keeping
keeping
our
communities
best
interests
of
mind.
B
Very
good,
yes,
we
appreciate
appreciate
your
fantastic
service
to
the
community.
Okay,
any
other
questions
and
not
seeing
any
any
any
interest
in
calling
this
up.
Bob
Rachel.
F
Thanks
I'll
have
a
few
things
to
say
here
so
I'll
just
excuse
me
bundle
them
all
together.
I
am
interested
in
calling
this
up.
If
there's
a
majority
Council
that
would
like
to
do
that.
Let
me
just
mention
five
things
quickly
and
I
want
to
call
this
up,
because
I
like
to
understand
this
better
I
read
all
the
materials
and
I
appreciate
what
staff
pulled
together,
but
I
have
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
questions.
F
I
I'd
like
to
number
one
I
like
to
understand
what
the
current
permitted
uses
and
why
this
proposed
use
is
inconsistent
with
what
is
permitted
number
two
I
would
like
to
understand.
You
know:
planning
staff
actually
worked
with
this
applicant
for
two
years
and
eventually
they
kind
of
struck
a
deal
and
plain
staff
recommended
this,
and
then
planning
board
disagreed
with
them.
So
I
I
like
to
understand
a
little
bit
better.
F
What
planning
staff
saw
in
the
project
that
caused
them
to
recommend
it
and
what
planning
board
saw
in
the
same
project?
It
caused
them
to
take
a
different
View
number
three
I'd
like
to
understand
what
and
Tara
already
started
going
down
this
path.
What
what
changes
might
be
made
in
the
application
that
that
the
planning
board
had
concerns
about
but
which
the
applicant
might
accept?
F
For
example,
the
planning
board
members
seem
to
be
concerned
about
the
proposed
hours
of
operation,
and
we
just
heard
from
the
applicant
that
they
might
be
willing
to
consider
some
changes
there
and
similarly,
the
planning
board
some
playing
board
members
expressed
concerns
about
traffic
circulation
and
curb
Cuts
I'd
like
to
understand
better.
F
If
some
of
those
concerns
can
be
addressed
by
amendments
to
the
application
and
reconfiguration
of
the
project
number
four
there,
there
seems
to
be
a
lot
of
discussion
at
planning
board
about
the
fact
that
this
restaurant
would
be
a
drive-through
and
that
drive-throughs
are
no
longer
consistent
with
broader
values
and
should
be
frowned
on.
I.
Don't
think,
that's
our
policy
at
least
not
adopted
by
Council.
Maybe
maybe
it
should
be
our
policy.
F
That's
a
that's
a
discussion
for
another
day,
but
there
seemed
to
be
a
lot
of
criticism
about
the
fact
that
this
was
a
drive-through
and
I
think
staff
reflected
in
the
materials
that
there
are
three
drive-throughs
already
within
a
quarter.
Mile
of
this
property,
and
in
fact
on
this
property,
there
were
already
two
drive-throughs
which
the
applicant
proposes
to
collapse
into
one
drive
through.
F
So
it's
actually
reduction
in
drive-throughs
I
think
that
any
any
owner
of
property
in
this
town,
who
has
a
drive-through
service
or
or
has
a
property
that
or
a
drive-through
Services
permitted,
would
would
want
to
hear
if,
if
the
console
is
going
to
adopt
a
policy
or
a
flame
board
is
going
to
adopt
a
policy
that
says
drive-throughs
henceforth
are
not
going
to
be
permittedness
and
I.
F
Think
that
would
be
a
a
pretty
important
policy
discussion
for
us
to
have
loud,
not
on
a
case-by-case
basis,
and
you
know
if
folks
want
to
have
that
discussion.
Calling
this
up
would
seem
to
be
a
good
forum
for
that
and
then,
finally,
with
all
due
respect
to
the
property
owner,
this
I
think
this
property
is
blighted.
These
these
two
buildings
have
been
vacant
for
many
many
years
or
unsightly.
F
They
are
attracting
illicit
Behavior.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
there
was
an
arson,
and
one
of
them
not
too
long
ago,
and
I'm
really
worried
that
these
that,
if,
if
this
denial
continues
that
these
buildings
will
sit
there
and
they
will
become
more
and
more
derelict,
they
will
attract
illicit
behavior.
They're
very,
very
insightly
I'm
embarrassed
to
go
by
them.
You
know
and
and
I
wonder
what
our
visitors
for
our
town,
who
drove
up
28th,
Street,
think
and
so
I
just
don't
know
what
plan
B
is
I
mean.
F
There's
a
plan,
a
on
the
table
and
and
I
think
we
should
talk
about
plan
a
and
ways
we
can
improve
plan
a.
But
if
we
allow
this
to
be
nine
I
I,
don't
know
what
plan
B
is
I,
think
they
just
sit
there
for
the
foreseeable
future
and
that
doesn't
seem
like
a
very
good
good
outcome.
So
I
liked
at
least
I,
don't
know
what
what
we
will
ultimately
decide,
but
I'd
least
like
us
to
have
a
discussion
amongst
ourselves
about
what
this
could
be
and
and
how
we
can
make
it
better.
B
G
I'll
be
brief.
It's
it's
always
troubling
to
me
when
staff
and
a
board
are
entirely
misaligned
and
so
I
I
think
it's
and
also
we
don't
see
a
lot
of
denials
on
something
like
a
use
review.
So
I
don't
know
that
I've
seen
one
in
my
tenure
in
Council.
G
Yet
so
maybe
it's
my
background
as
a
Appellate,
Court
Clerk
or
an
administrative
law
judge,
but
I
think
there's
value
in
you
know
after
this
applicant
spent
two
plus
years
on
this
application
us
providing
that
that
level
of
review
and
making
sure
that
that
our
policies
are
being
implemented
fairly
and
kind
of
a
due
process.
So
I'm
going
to
favor
calling
it
up.
B
R
Yeah
I
was
just
kind
of
thinking
back
to
our
process
discussion
a
little
bit
last
week
and
just
the
the
ways
that
we
were
talking
through.
How
can
we
avoid
putting
more
work
on
our
plates
right?
I
think
you
know
this
is
the
case
where
planning
board
had
an
incredibly
thoughtful
discussion.
They've
left
open.
You
know
some
options
for
folks
to
come
back.
R
This
is
something
that
I
feel
very
comfortable
delegating
to
planning
board
just
given
the
thought
and
intention
that
went
into
their
thinking
and
process,
and
so
I'm
not
going
to
be
supporting
calling
this
up.
I
think
this
is
something
where
we
can
let
one
of
our
very
well
functioning
boards,
take
it
for
us
and
and
give
us
some
time
to
work
on
other
things.
W
I
think
I
want
to
call
this
up,
and
that
is
because
I
remember
when
we
were
talking
about
Gordon,
pharmaceutical
and
I
wish
that
we
would
I
would
have
taken
the
time
to
go
visit
and
really
think
about
it
and
sometimes
rushing
isn't
the
best.
Especially
you
know
it's.
You
know
it's
a
relatively
big
deal
to
the
people
who
spent
the
two
plus
years,
so
just
for
that
reason
alone,
just
to
be
able
to
go
there
and
think
about
it.
Look
at
it
consider
what
Bob
said.
AB
U
I'm
going
to
agree
with
Nicole
on
this,
this
is
not
the
kind
of
work
we
ought
to
be
doing
as
a
city
council
and
as
Nicole
points
out,
we
have
a
very
well
functioning
board
that
has
looked
at
this
carefully.
I
would
urge
our
planning
board
I
would
urge
our
staff
to
work
with
this
applicant
to
shape
something
that's
more
acceptable
that
can
be
brought
to
us
without
controversy
that
we
can
all
agree
to.
U
But
for
us
to
be
micromanaging,
an
application
for
a
restaurant
is
is
really
not
what
our
job
ought
to
be
about.
U
It
doesn't
mean
we
don't
want
to
see
something
better,
as
Bob
said
in
in
that
location,
I
I
would
certainly
agree
with
that,
but
I
think
we
can
achieve
getting
there
with
a
process
in
which
the
applicant
works
with
a
planning
board.
I
I
have
not
found
them
to
be
insane
individuals,
I
think
they
will
cooperative.
We
work
with
the
applicant.
Our
staff
is
extremely
talented.
I
would
hope
that
they
would
work
with
the
planning
board
and
the
applicant
and
take
this
off
of
our
plate,
because
this
is
not.
U
This
is
not
what
we
ought
to
be
doing.
Generation
will
be
commenting
on
their
exhaust
system,
you
know,
or
their
ceiling
Heights
or
the
materials
they
use
in
the
building.
It's
not
it's,
not
our
job.
We
have
people
who
for
whom
it
is
their
job
and
who
do
it
quite
well.
U
So
I
would
like
to
see
a
process
by
which
this
goes
back
to
not
not
for
Pure
rejection,
not
for
telling
the
applicant
that
that
you're
dead
in
the
water,
but
to
ask
our
planning
board
to
work
with
this
applicant
to
try
to
come
to
some
agreement
and
bring
it
to
us
in
a
Cooperative
way
rather
than
you
know,
then
our
getting
into
the
minutia
of
whether
this
is
an
appropriate
development
for
this
site.
U
That
doesn't
make
any
sense
to
me
and
again,
I
have
not
found
that
we
are
shy
of
work
items
to
deal
with.
This
ought
not
to
be
one
of
them.
E
Thank
you,
I
agree
with
what
Nicole
and
Mark
laid
out
I
think
that
you
know,
while
we
do
have
a
lot
of
drive-throughs
in
the
area,
I,
don't
know
that
any
of
them
have
sort
of
the
two-lane
situation
that
this
has
and
kind
of
the
intensity
of
the
of
the
suggested
use
of
this
drive
through
seems
different
than
what
we
see
in
this
area.
You
know,
I,
think
about
you
know.
Good
times
is
not
that
far
away
and
I
see
people
walk
and
bike
there,
they
have
a
walk-up
counter.
E
That's
separate
from
their
Drive
counter.
I
think
that
you
know
that
that
we're
not
I
didn't
see
this
as
planning
board.
Saying
that
no
drive
through
would
ever
be
acceptable
there.
It
was
the
way
this
this
particular
drive-through
was
designed
and
sort
of
the
intent
of
use
that
seemed
the
intensity
of
that
use.
That
seemed
maybe
at
odds
with
the
character.
E
T
Thanks
Aaron
I,
I'm
gonna
agree
with
you
know:
Lauren,
Nicole
and
and
Mark
I
I,
just
I'm,
not
sure
we
need
to
be
reconciling
the
differences
that
are
just
literally
clearly
stated
in
the
document
that
planning
board
and
the
applicant
can
reconcile
I
I
think
we
setting
setting
some
precedent
that
when
our
boards
and
commissions
unanimously
make
a
decision,
I
think
given
the
work
we
have
to
do,
we
have
to
have
trust
in
that
and
we
have
to
have
trust
in
the
appointments
we've
made
and
the
work
that
they
do
and
the
due
diligence
that
they
take
to
reach
those
conclusions
and
and
I
think
that
this
wasn't
as
it
was
mentioned,
this
isn't
just
shutting
the
door
that
this
is.
T
This
is
in
a
reconcilable
difference
here.
I
think
these
are
very
easy
things
to
to
figure
out
and
maybe
just
gotta,
throw
it
in
the
hopper
a
little
bit
and
and
and
sort
out
those
differences,
so
I
I'd
much.
Rather
that
be
the
case
than
then.
We
need
to
to
be
the
Arbiter
of
how
to
reconcile
those
differences,
I
think
they're
manageable,
and
that
can
be
done
by
planning
board
and
the
applicant.
B
Foreign
myself,
briefly
and
I
feel
like
the
I
I'm
I'm
up
for
digging
into
the
criteria
and
see
how
they
they
might
be
applied,
whether
it's
this
way
or
differently
or
are
there
conditions
that
might
make
this
successful,
so
I'll
vote
to
call
it
up,
but
we'll
see
how
it
goes.
We
call
for
a
vote
here.
Well,
we'll
we'll
need
a
motion
right
to
call
this
up.
AB
B
Okay
and
Alicia
can
I
do
a
show
of
hands
here.
C
AS
I
C
Good
spear,
no
and
Wallach
the
motion
to
call
up
item
3B
the
use
review
application
for
30
33
28th
street
is
defeated
by
vote
of
five
to
four.
B
Okay,
well
thanks
everyone
for
the
discussion
and
I
think
we
did
hear
a
lot
of
interest
from
Council
in
the
applicants.
You
know
maybe
Consulting
some
more
with
planning
board
about
the
possibility
of
bringing
back
a
revised
proposal.
So
it
sounds
like
there's
general
interest
in
that,
so
maybe
see
if
you
can
pursue
that
Avenue
and
maybe
there's
a
win-win
out
there
somewhere
to
be
found.
I
think
is
the
summary
John
thanks
so
much
for
joining
us
tonight
and
and
for
for
your
work
on
on
the
playing
board
and
shabnam
thanks.
C
B
B
Okay,
I,
want
to
do
a
temperature
check.
I
do
not
want
to
talk
for
15
minutes
about
whether
we
should
keep
going
this
meeting
so,
but
maybe
if
people
just
wanted
to
offer
a
quick
thought
or
two,
we
could
maybe
do
a
straw
poll
on
whether
we
want
to
continue
anybody
want
to
offer
the
first
I
mean
I
can
keep
moving,
but
Mark.
U
B
Okay,
okay!
Well,
if
we
miss
you,
the
I
believe
Teresa
in
terms
of
our
rules,
I
think
we
still
are
within
them
to
start.
Something
now
is
that
correct.
AV
Yes,
mayor
the
rules
contemplate
that
you
don't
start
any
new
items
after
10
30
without
a
two-thirds
majority
vote,
so
you
certainly
can
start
now
at
10
30.
You
would
still
need
a
a
motion
to
continue
the
meeting.
Well,
if
you're
going
to
continue
past
11,
you
would
need
a
motion
to
to
do
that.
B
E
B
All
right,
well
Mark,
I'm,
very
sorry
to
to
lose
you,
but
we'll.
Please
send
any
follow-up
questions
that
you
have
and
please
do
to
watch
tomorrow
from
the
recording.
C
AU
BB
You
and
thanks
Council
good
evening
I'm,
going
to
keep
it
super
brief.
I'm,
the
interim
director
of
transportation
and
Mobility
Natalie,
Stiffler
and
I
want
to
just
hand
it
over
to
Valerie
Watson
she's,
our
transportation
planning
manager
extraordinaire.
She
oversees
the
transportation
planning,
Division
and
she's
going
to
take
it
from
here.
Thank
you.
BC
Thanks
so
much
Natalie
and
good
evening,
mayor
and
members
of
council
I'm,
Valerie
Watson
Transportation,
Planning
division
manager
with
the
city
of
Boulder,
joined
tonight
by
Garrett,
Slater,
principal
engineer
for
capital
projects
and
Devin
Jocelyn,
our
principal
traffic
engineer
and
tonight,
oh
and
I'm.
So
sorry
were
we
gonna
bring
up
the
presentation
through
stuff
thanks
and
next
slide.
BC
BC
So,
first,
let's
cover
a
bit
of
background.
The
concept
of
a
core
arterial
Network
started
as
a
light
bulb
moment
for
a
member
of
our
transportation,
Advisory
Board
Alex
Weinheimer,
our
busiest
streets
connect
us
to
an
array
of
day-to-day
destinations
and
they're
a
critical
piece
of
the
overall
Mobility
Network.
BC
Please
foreign!
So,
first,
let's
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
what
the
can
is
and
what
it's
not.
The
can
highlights
the
importance
of
a
layered
network
of
arterial
streets.
Some
arterial
streets
should
have
modal
priority,
as
in
special
emphasis
on
design
elements
that
make
it
safer,
more
comfortable
and
more
convenient
to
take
the
bus
or
ride
a
bike,
and
that
sidewalks
and
crossings
for
people
walking
serve
everyone,
whether
you're
stepping
out
of
your
car,
to
walk
to
a
shop
or
getting
off
of
your
bike
to
lock
it
up
and
catch
the
bus.
BC
We
see
the
can
as
the
next
Frontier
for
Boulder
Mobility
building
from
the
existing
world-class
network
of
on-street
facilities,
off-street
multi-use
paths,
neighborhood
streets,
underpasses
and
Transit
priority
streets.
We
can
close
the
gaps
that
exist
in
our
overall
Network,
so
that
anyone
can
find
a
connected,
consistent
route
to
where
they
need
to
go,
no
matter
how
they
get
around.
BC
Our
work
plan
involves
finding
opportunities
to
accelerate
remaining
projects
along
this
identified,
Network
through
strategic
reallocation
of
staff
and
funding
resources.
Let's
also
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
the
can
is.
Not
the
can
is
not
one
project
and
it's
not
a
plan
that
will
sit
on
the
Shelf.
Rather,
it's
an
approach
to
maximizing
and
focusing
our
limited
resources
where
they
can
have
the
most
impact
for
Boulder
in
the
planet.
BC
Next
slide,
we
should
also
note
that
the
can
concept
prioritized
by
Council
and
the
corridors
represented
in
the
work
plan
have
all
been
identified
previously
in
our
strategic
planning
and
policy
documents.
The
2019
Transportation
master
plan
identified
both
Folsom
and
Iris
as
streets
for
future
corridor
studies
and
all
of
the
corridors
with
a
bicycle
facility
focus
with
the
exception
of
Pearl
Street,
were
designated
as
candidates
for
protected
bicycle
Lanes
in
the
2019
low-stress
walk
and
bike
Network
plan
28th,
Broadway,
East
Arapahoe.
BC
These
are
all
corridors
identified
as
candidates
for
bus,
Rapid,
Transit
and
other
Transit
enhancements
in
the
nams
or
the
Northwest
area.
Mobility
study,
our
regional
transit
plan
with
RTD
and
neighboring
jurisdictions,
and
our
vision,
Zero
Safe
Streets
report
and
our
ongoing
work
on
the
vision.
Zero
Action
Plan
update,
also
address
scan
work
plan
corridors,
starting
with
our
transportation
master
plan
as
the
overarching
policy
document
and
building
from
these
other
plans
and
efforts.
BC
The
can
work
plan
is
the
prioritization
of
the
policy
Direction
and
the
project
candidates
that
are
found
throughout
all
of
these
documents,
and
we
will
work
to
implement
the
can
through
the
programs
such
as
the
Capital
Improvements
program,
pavement
Management
program
and
vision,
zero,
the
things
that
are
listed
at
the
bottom
right
of
this
slide
next
slide.
Please
yeah.
BC
When
it
comes
to
designing
and
implementing
projects
along
the
can
there's
a
human
cost
to
consider
the
incidence
of
crashes
resulting
in
serious
or
fatal
injuries.
The
2022
Vision
zero
Boulder
Safe
Streets
report
found
that
a
majority
or
67
percent
of
traffic
crashes
that
result
in
serious
injury
or
death
occur
on
Boulder's
arterial
streets
and
44
of
total
Citywide.
Serious
and
fatal
crashes
occur
along
streets
identified
in
the
can
work
plan.
BC
BC
We
also
know
that
focusing
Investments
along
the
corridors
on
the
cam
work
plan
reaches
a
fair
portion
of
the
overall
Boulder
residential
population.
This
visualization
shows
that
residential
density
is
consistently
higher
along
these
corridors,
meaning
that
these
future
connections
are
within
steps
of
63
percent
of
Boulder
residents
and
even
higher
percentage.
89
percent
of
Boulder
residents
who
live
in
group
settings
such
as
University
dorms,
live
within
a
half
mile
of
the
can
work
plan
corridors.
Next.
BC
Thank
you.
Access
to
opportunity
is
a
huge
part
of
our
coveted
recovery.
Although
we
hear
a
lot
about
housing,
affordability
and
rent
burden.
We
also
know
that
transportation
is
the
second
highest
household
cost.
Connecting
people
to
jobs
with
a
range
of
Mobility
choices
is
a
part
of
lifting
up
those
in
our
community
who
have
experienced
a
lot
of
financial
hardships,
and
this
visualization
on
the
screen
shows
that
71
percent
of
Boulder
jobs
are
within
a
half
mile
of
a
canned
Corridor
next
slide
foreign.
BC
When
we
consider
our
bus
routes
within
Boulder,
six
of
the
13
can
work
plan
corridors
carry
high
quality
bus
service,
meaning
headways
of
less
than
15
minutes
and
in
terms
of
who
we
are
connecting
75
of
total
average
city-wide
daily
boardings
and
the
lightings,
and
that's
people
getting
on
and
off
the
bus
are
happening
along
or
within
a
half
mile
of
canned
work
plan
corridors
next
slide.
BC
Lastly,
this
map
shows
a
snapshot
of
the
incredible
wealth
of
community
destinations
that
follow
along
or
within
walking
distance
of
corridors
on
the
camera
plan.
All
of
these
factors
combined
make
a
strong
case
that
the
investment
of
our
limited
resources
will
have
a
reach
far
beyond
the
individual,
camcorder
or
project
areas.
Next,
let's
talk
about
how
this
will
roll
out
next
slide.
BC
Then
we
have
our
priority
corridors,
the
three
streets
that
are
listed
at
the
top
of
the
schedule
and
we
have
taken
stock
of
opportunities
such
as
our
pavement
Management
program
to
accelerate
the
initiation
of
design
and
Community
engagement
for
these
projects
and
that's
Baseline,
Road
Iris,
Avenue
and
Folsom
Street.
Many
of
our
canned
corridors
have
grant
funding
already
attached
we're
also
pursuing
additional
opportunities
to
assemble
external
funding
for
cam
corridors
and
with
external
grant.
Funding
also
comes
timeline
considerations,
so
this
schedule
reflects
that
for
for
our
ongoing
and
future
projects,
next
slide.
BC
As
we
have
worked
to
reallocate
staff
resources
to
start
our
work
on
the
can
and
developed
an
Associated
schedule,
we
have
been
mindful
of
previous
similar
projects
and
the
lessons
learned.
The
typical
project
development
process
for
projects
like
the
ones
under
consideration
for
our
priority
corridors
is
composed
of
multiple
phases
shown
on
this
slide.
Based
on
lessons
learned
from
previous
work,
this
approach
to
the
priority
corridors
seeks
to
accelerate
the
overall
timeline
for
project
delivery
as
compared
to
previous
efforts
along
the
way.
BC
There
are
many
factors
that
can
influence
the
trajectory
of
a
corridor
project
in
Project
delivery.
Some
listed
at
the
bottom
of
this
slide,
so
we
are
committing
to
a
steady
pace
for
initiating
design
and
Community
engagement
on
our
three
priority
corridors,
so
that
we
use
our
staff
and
funding
resources
efficiently
and
account
for
the
twists
and
turns
that
can
come
along
the
way.
BC
So
with
this
new
approach
to
project
development,
Community
engagement
runs
concurrent
to
the
design
process
instead
of
adding
to
the
overall
timeline,
while
input
from
consultation
with
the
public
is
most
concentrated
toward
the
beginning
of
the
process.
As
you
can
see,
with
the
gradient
on
the
yellow
bar,
there
are
feedback
loops
that
inform
Street
design
every
step
of
the
way.
As
shown
on
this
slide.
BC
Input
from
the
public
has
the
most
influence
early
on
and
that's
why
investing
in
a
community
engagement
strategy
and
doing
that
preparation
and
legwork
to
establish
Community
relationships
and
local
knowledge
for
each
project?
Corridor,
including
steps
to
ensure
it's
an
equitable
process,
are
so
important.
BC
Next
slide,
we
will
initiate
design
and
Community
engagement
along
the
three
priority
priority
corridors
starting
this
year
through
2023..
These
projects
were
selected
for
their
value
to
the
network
in
terms
of
providing
enhanced
multimodal
north-south
and
East-West
connectivity.
That's
currently
lacking
in
those
areas
of
the
city,
as
well
as
the
opportunity
to
couple
our
improvements
with
scheduled
pavement
resurfacing.

We
have
assembled
initial
funding
for
the
three,
can
priority
corridors
by
reallocating
budgets
from
existing
program
areas
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
scope
additional
budgetary
needs
as
we
get
further
along.
As
shown
on
this
slide,
we
have
already
identified
one
million
two
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
for
initiating
design
of
the
priority
corridors
in
this
year
and
next
these
funding
sources
were
previously
earmarked
for
an
update
to
the
transportation
master
plan,
which
will
now
be
delayed
until
2024
or
Beyond.
BC
The
neighborhood
speed
Management
program,
neighborhood
green
streets
program,
as
well
as
other
small
pockets
of
funds,
and
these
work
programs
will
be
paused
indefinitely
to
reallocate
funding
and
staff
time
to
this
can
work
plan
and
they
were
selected
because
they
relate
to
neighborhood
or
local
streets
where
there
are
less
severe
crashes,
and
although
there
are
trade-offs
to
pausing
this
work
on
local
streets
and
our
Master
Plan
update
Council
requested.
These
bold
moves
to
accelerate
work
on
our
arterials,
where
the
majority
of
severe
crashes
are
occurring
in
the
city.
BC
Additionally,
we
are
leveraging
our
local
dollars
for
to
pursue
state
and
federal
grant
funding
opportunities
for
other
canned
corridors
such
as
Dr,
cogg,
Transportation,
Improvement
program,
tip
call
for
projects
and
we're
happy
to
share
that
our
revitalizing
main
streets,
application
that
relates
to
the
Colorado
Corridor
of
the
can
was
successful
and
is
going
to
bring
over
1
million
to
complete
that
work
and
our
current
Dr
Cog
sub-regional
tip
applications
submitted
in
June
of
this
year.
If
successful,
would
Garner
over
9.2
million
in
funds
for
can
related
work
next
slide.
BC
As
we
embark
on
our
Corridor
level
work,
we
will
develop
a
community
engagement
strategy
for
each
Corridor,
tailored
to
the
unique
characteristics
of
the
neighborhoods
in
which
we
will
be
working.
Community
engagement
is
an
integral
part
of
the
overall
project
development
process,
feedback
from
the
community
on
existing
conditions,
challenges
and
opportunities
that
local
knowledge
it
will
be
used
to
shape
the
overall
Street
design
process.
BC
We
want
to
strengthen
relationships
with
our
community-based
organizations
and
advocacy
Partners
in
this,
as
well
as
develop
new
relationships
to
broaden
the
reach
and
quality
of
our
engagement.
Earlier
this
year,
we
also
established
a
collaboration
through
the
boulder
walks
program
to
offer
Community
engagement,
support
for
individual
can
projects
such
as
walk
audits,
Spanish,
language
and
older
adult
focused
engagement
activities
and
we're
collaborating
with
Community
Cycles
to
support
bike,
abouts
and
other
engagement
efforts
and
connect
with
local
community
members
through
their
channels.
Next

BC
BC
This
year,
we've
been
hard
at
work,
gearing
up
internally
to
kick
off,
Community
engagement
and
design
for
Baseline
in
the
pre-designed
phase
of
the
street
design
process.
We
start
by
understanding
the
community
context
and
the
social
climate
in
which
we
are
working.
When
you
think
about
this
stretch
of
baseline
from
30th
to
Mohawk,
there
are
several
Parks
schools,
Child
Care,
Centers
places
of
worship,
and
these
are
places
people
who
live
within
walking
or
bicycling
distance.
BC
Looking
at
this
context
reveals
a
lot
about
who
we
should
be
connecting
with
note
that
there
are
over
3
000
University
students,
three
facilities
serving
older
adults,
five
public
schools
and
11
Child
Care
Centers,
not
to
mention
Parks
places
of
worship
and
bus
stops.
We
know
from
the
vision,
zero
Boulder,
Safe
Streets
report
that
people
walking
and
bicycling
are
over
represented
in
our
severe
crash
data.
We
can
tailor
our
engagement
activities
to
ensure
that
we
are
reaching
the
folks
who
have
the
most
at
stake
to
changes
in
the
street
next
slide.
BC
As
we
think
about
the
Baseline
Corridor
as
an
example,
understanding
this
community
context
is
one
of
the
first
steps
to
evaluating
the
overall
project
approach
with
the
city's
racial
Equity
tool.
We
appreciate
the
work
to
establish
the
racial
Equity
framework
and
Tool
and
council's
Leadership
on
this
as
part
of
each
canned
Corridor.
BC
We
plan
to
conduct
this
early
analysis
and
have
relationship
building
conversations
before
embarking
on
our
can
work
leveraging
the
City's
community
connectors
program
is
one
opportunity
to
work
with
Community
contacts
who
are
trusted
with
their
within
their
own
neighborhoods
and
establish
these
relationships
early
on
before
discussing
future
changes
to
the
street.
As
we
begin
the
design
process,
we
will
also
take
note
of
the
language
access
needs
in
the
neighborhood
and
weave
in
Translation
and
interpretation
services
for
information
materials
and
engagement
events
per
the
city's
language
access
plan.
BC
We
have
heard
feedback
from
some
of
our
partners
that
they
want
to
see.
This
work
proceed
more
swiftly
to
address
crashes
and
yes,
that
is
our
aim,
and
we
also
want
to
be
really
intentional
in
how
we
approach
this
accelerated
process
to
make
sure
that
we
are
staying
true
to
the
city's
racial
Equity
goals
and
values
next
slide.
BC
Now,
let's
take
a
look
at
what's
in
store
for
Baseline
in
terms
of
project
process.
We
see
this
canned
Corridor
being
implemented
in
two
phases.
Phase
one
will
couple
upgrades
to
the
existing
buffered
bike
lane
with
pavement
resurfacing
in
2023
next
year,
using
local
dollars
phase
two
will
develop
a
more
holistic
set
of
multimodal
improvements,
including
further
augmenting
bike,
lane
protection
installed
in
Phase,
One,
pedestrian
enhancements
and
Transit
efficiency
improvements,
and
this
second
phase
is
subject
to
pending
Grant
application,
and
let's
talk
about
that
for
a
second
recognizing,
our
funding
resources
are
limited.
BC
We
have
acted
swiftly
this
year
to
submit
a
tip
application
in
the
current
call
for
project
cycle.
That's
the
Dr
Cog
Transportation
Improvement
projects
grant
funding
opportunity
and
we'll
hear
a
little
bit
more
about
our
chances
of
being
successful
with
that
competitive
Grant
process
in
August
or
September
next
slide.
BC
We
invite
you
to
partner
with
us
as
projects
ramp
up,
particularly
our
three
priority.
Corridors
help
us
broadcast
Community
engagement,
opportunities,
project
updates
and
general
information
about
the
initiative.
We
welcome
City
council's
input
as
well
on
key
stakeholders
that
we
should
engage
with
along
these
corridors.
Next.
BC
BC
Next
slide
as
far
as
immediate
next
steps
this
year,
for
the
can
initiative
will
be
starting
up:
Community
engagement
and
design
for
Baseline,
as
we
just
covered
and
we'll
also
be
shaping
up
our
community
engagement
strategy
and
overall
project
approach
for
Iris
and
in
November.
We
look
forward
to
returning
to
you
all
at
Council
for
a
study
session
with
a
stop
it
tab,
leading
up
to
that
next
slide.
B
Foreign
that
was
very
helpful.
The
great
work
that's
going
on
there,
questions
for
for
Valerie,
Tara.
W
I'm
very
excited
about
this
Valerie,
but
I
do
have
one
question
being
that
I
do
ride
my
bike
up
and
down
Baseline.
Can
you
tell
me
the
scary
part
is
by
Sprouts
before
30th
Street
and
we
have
the
flashing
lights.
People
are
crossing
the
street
over
there.
We
hope
that
I
hope
that
I
always
get
hit
by
a
car
going
in
and
out
of
the
McDonald's
drive-through,
plus,
all
the
other
things
that
are
going
on.
BC
Yeah
and
I'll
I'll
start
off
and
happy
to
also
hear
from
Devin
or
Garrett
on
on
this,
so
our
project
limits
for
Baseline
are
really
driven
by
our
pavement
Management
program,
where
we
will
be
resurfacing
the
street
next
year,
but
for
any
canned
Corridor,
even
though
we
have
project
limits
that
are
really
defined
by
technical
aspects
like
that,
you
know
we
can
always
look
a
little
bit
further
outside
of
those
extents
to
take
note
of
other
projects
that
may
be
coming
in
to
address
safety
issues,
we
may
be
able
to
look
at
other
types
of
minor
improvements
to
make
sure
there's
connectivity.
BC
So
thank
you
for
that
feedback
and
we-
and
we
can
certainly
think
about
that
as
we
move
forward
with
this
project,
Garrett
or
Devin.
Anything
to
add.
AY
I
I
would
just
add
that
we
do
have
a
capital
Improvement
project
forthcoming
that
is
going
to
relocate
and
reconfigure.
The
Pedestrian
Crossing
that
you're
noting
and
make
it
a
little
further
east
so
that
it
and
interacts
with
those
driveways
in
a
less
awkward
Manner
and
makes
it
safer
for
all
the
users.
B
Okay,
Matt
Nicole.
T
Oh,
this
is
awesome,
I
think
back
to
January
when
we
were
doing
the
retreat,
and
here
we
are
and
to
see
to
see
this
take
shape
is
really
exciting.
So
thank
you,
Natalie
and,
and
thank
you
Valerie
for
this.
My
questions
kind
of
center
around
the
sort
of
Duality
that
that
has
sort
of
imposed
to
you,
which
is.
Can
you
expedite
and
oh
by
the
way,
here's
more
process
and
and
the
conflict
that
that
inherently
creates
council's
been
good
at
doing
that?
T
So
really,
my
question
comes
down
to.
How
can
we
are
there
policies
or
processes?
T
That
counsel
has
the
authority
or
the
power
on
power
to
to
modify
or
eliminate
that
are
hurdles
to
perhaps
staff
moving
at
a
at
another
gear
or
or
at
a
speed
that
it
may
want
to
go,
but
is
maybe
hindered
by
some
of
the
things
that
maybe
Council
has
put
in
there,
and
so
I
know
that
some
of
that
process
is
really
important,
but
I'm
also
understanding
that
the
can
kind
of
came
about
in
reverse
order
a
little
bit,
because
it
was
already
predetermined
where
we
were
working.
T
What
we
were
doing
when
it
sort
of
got
delivered,
whereas
some
of
that
Community
engagement
would
have
happened
much
earlier
in
where
we're
going
to
work
and
how
and
when
and
so
I
think,
we
kind
of
skipped.
Some
of
those
steps
in
how
can
was
was
delivered
to
council
and
then
thus
approved
so
I'm
wondering
where
there's
places
to
trim
and
and
really
would
love
to
get
your
thoughts
on
how
we
can
help
you
move
along
a
little
faster,
rather
than
you
than
staff
just
needing
to
decide
on
its
own,
where
to
trim
process.
T
I
think
this
would
be
good
not
just
for
the
can,
but
good
for
overall,
because
I
think
we're
a
little
process
bloated
as
a
whole,
and
this
might
be
a
good
example
for
us
to
kind
of
look
internally
and
how
we
can
expedite
some
of
our
process.
Improvements
that
we
ask
staff
to
take
on
and
expedite
these
projects
that
are
for
the
better
good.
BB
I'm
happy
to
jump
in
here
and
thanks
councilmember
Benjamin
I,
think
you
know
from
staff's
perspective.
I
think
we're
moving
pretty
quickly
and,
as
Valerie
outlined
the
kind
of
our
process
with
Baseline
is
we
really
are
going
to
be
Expediting
the
work
there
I
think
we
are
using
our
transpiration
master
plan
kind
of
framework
and
the
low
stress,
walk
and
bike
Network
to
be
able
to
support
it
from
a
policy
standpoint.
BB
The
work
that
we
want
to
do
and-
and
we
really
do
think
that
the
community
engagement
process
that
we've
laid
out
is
super
important.
From
the
standpoint
of
we
do
we
want
to
hear
from
people
who
live
along
these
corridors
because
we
can't
assume
to
know
what
the
solutions
are
without
talking
to
them
and
then
certainly
the
racial
Equity
piece.
BB
You
know
we
that's
a
priority
for
us
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
give
that
time,
but
in
saying
that
we
are
I,
think
moving
pretty
quickly
and
we
where
there
will
be
a
touch
point
with
Council
again,
which
is
likely
going
to
be
in
that
November
fall
time
frame
where
there
will
be
an
opportunity
there
for
I
think
Council
to
take
a
look
and
kind
of
see
what
work
we've
done
to
date.
BB
T
All
right,
thank
you
for
that
Natalie
and
the
only
thing
I'll
just
add
is
we've
asked
you
to
be
bold
and
I
know
that
that
may
not
that
asking
that
maybe
kit
has
some
baggage
and
some
scars
from
from
previous
projects
and
I
just
want
to
one
give
that
oxygen
and
acknowledge
that's
the
case,
but
also
let
you
know
that
that
we
absolutely
and
I'll
speak
to
myself,
have
staffs
backs
to
achieve
these
goals
that
we've
set
in
working
together.
And
so
when
we
say
be
bold,
we
take
the
accountability
for
that
ass.
T
To
ask
you
to
be
bold
and
will
not
in
any
way
pull
the
rug
out
that
we
we
truly
want
you
to
be
bold
and
want
you
to
move
in
whatever,
in
whatever
way,
achieves
that,
and
we've
got
your
backs
to
to
make
sure
that
that
happens.
So
I
just
know
that
there's
some
sensitivities
around
that
from
past
things
and
I
just
want
to
give
that
oxygen,
but
also
acknowledge
that
that
we
got
your
backs
and
we
want
to
see
this
come
to
fruition
as
well.
B
Can
you
all
hear
me
yes,
okay,
yeah,
my
audio
and
video
just
suddenly
cut
out
and
I
had
to
switch
to
a
backup,
audio
method.
So
pardon
me
for
having
my
camera
off
Nicole.
R
Thank
you,
Natalie
and
Valerie
for
the
great
presentation,
thanks
transportation
staff
I
to
me,
you
know,
I
I,
understand
that
things
move
sometimes
like
we
wish
they
could
move
overnight
and
they
don't
I've.
Seen
an
incredible
pivot.
I
mean
to
me
to
all
that
you've
accomplished
in
six
months
to
kind
of
get
all
this
fun
up
and
and
moving
forward.
R
I
I,
really
just
it's
pretty
remarkable
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
Kudos
first
on
the
employment
density
map.
That
is
a
cool,
visualization
and
I.
Just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
that,
because
it
really
highlights
the
importance
of
this
particular
Corridor
for
a
lot
of
our
workers
and
thinking
about
how
we
can
kind
of
get
people
into
town
and
around
town
who
are
working
here
without
single
occupancy
Vehicles.
So
that
was
really
cool.
Thank
you
for
that
visualization.
R
My
question
is:
is
kind
of
a
process.
Question
I
think
it
relates
a
lot
to
Transportation
a
lot
of
the
times
the
projects
you
all
are
working
on:
they're,
not
things
that
are
done
in
a
month
or
two.
They
are
things
that
span
years
at
a
time
and
what's
the
what's
the
process
with
longer
term
projects
like
this,
of
keeping
things
going
across
councils
right,
because
this
this
work
is
going
to
be
ongoing
for
many
years
to
come,
I
will
likely
be
gone
before
it's
it's
fully
finished,
and
so
how
does
that?
BB
Sure
I'm
I'm
happy
to
to
start
on
that
and
my
colleagues
can
jump
in
I
think
you
know
one
through
our
transportation
master
plan
really
kind
of
making
it
a
priority
within
the
work
that
we
do
and-
and
it
is
you
know,
I-
think
we've
we've
been
able
to
outline
this
kind
of
very
strategic
plan
and
how
we're
going
to
move
forward
from
a
work
program
standpoint.
BB
But
but
all
of
this
is
consistent
with
our
transportation
master
plan
and
so
I
think
Council
can
feel
confident
that
it's
from
a
policy
standpoint
it's
baked
into
the
transmission
master
plan
and
the
corridors
that
we
want
to
focus
on
and
then
adding
on
to.
That
is
the
vision.
Zero
action
plan
work
that
our
transportation
and
operations
engineering
team
is
doing
they're
in
the
midst
of
that
work.
BB
Right
now,
they're
actually
planning
to
come
to
council
later
this
year,
and
that
will
be
an
opportunity
for
this
Council
to
kind
of
help,
help
see
what
they
want
to
be
included
in
that
action
plan,
and
then
that
action
plan
is
going
to
live
on
for
many
years
and
that's
going
to
help
kind
of
create
the
action
that
we're
going
to
follow
through
on
over
the
next
several
years
to
make
our
arterials
safer
and
all
of
our
streets
safer.
BB
So
that
will
be
another
opportunity
where
this
will
continue
to
live
on
and
I.
Think
really
the
can
is
going
to
live
on.
You
know
past
just
the
next
year
of
our
work
program,
because
this
work,
as
as
Valerie
mentioned
and
as
Garrett,
can
attest
to
once
it
gets
into
the
CIP
and
into
our
tip
applications
and
all
of
the
kind
of
external
funding
sources
that
we
need
to
go
after
to
make
big
Transportation
infrastructure
projects
happen,
that's
where
they
start
to
live
and
gain
life.
BB
And
you
know,
as
we
start
to
fund
little
pieces,
we
want,
to
you,
know,
create
corridors
and
create
a
network,
and
so
we'll
continue
on.
With
that
work,
so
I
think
you
know,
Council
can
feel
confident
that
that
it
will
continue
on
and
I,
don't
know
if
my
colleagues
have
anything
to
add
to
that.
B
B
Very
good,
all
right,
well
I
feel
like
my
computer's,
about
to
explode.
It's
doing
all
kinds
of
crazy
things.
So,
let's
see
if
we
can
wrap
this
up
before
that
happens,
any
any
last
thoughts
before
we
finish
the
meeting.
B
Seeing
none,
oh
and
I'll
just
say
sorry
for
no
break
tonight
we
got
so
wrapped
up
in
discussions
about
what
the
schedule
is
going
to
be
like
I
never
found
those
five
minutes,
I'll
I'll
get
better
at
combining
both
all
right.
Well,
thanks,
everyone
for
a
good
meeting
and
I'll
go
ahead
and
gavel
is
closed
here
at
10,
36
pm
foreign.
