Special
meeting
portion
of
tonight
and
then
turn
it
over
to
councilmember
judy
joseph
to
lead
us
through
the
study
session.
Of
course,
we
happen
a
little
bit
later,
but
first
we
get
in
before
we
get
into
the
business
of
the
evening.
I
want
to
turn
to
councilmember
matt
benjamin
and
give
him
a
chance
to
say
a
few
words
about
the
tragedy
that
our
country
experienced
today.
E
I
I
couldn't
keep
the
straight
face.
Not
just
I
didn't
want
to
spoil
my
wife's
fun
only.
I
knew
that
my
tears
were
pride
in
my
son.
My
tears
were
anger
and
sadness
for
the
lives
lost,
and
I
couldn't
communicate
and
differentiate
those
tears
in
that
time.
E
What
are
we
doing
as
senator
chris
murphy
from
connecticut
said,
we'll
talk
about
what
we're
doing
later,
but
that's
not
really
the
point
right
now.
The
point
is
to
sit
in
the
grief
and
to
recognize
and
acknowledge
the
rage
that
comes
with
yet
another
mass
shooting
senseless
loss
of
life
on
the
heels
of
buffalo,
our
tragic
shooting
at
king
supers.
E
E
E
E
E
E
I
hope
we
can
do
that.
I
hope
we
can
and
we
have
an
opportunity
to
choose,
to
take
action
and
not
sit
on
our
hands
and
I'm
proud
of
every
single
one
of
us.
That's
choosing
to
take
that
action.
I'm
proud
of
this
community
for
supporting
this
action
that
we're
gonna
take,
but,
most
importantly,
I
think
we
should
sit
in
the
grief
and
the
rage
and
not
let
it
just
blow
by
for
the
next
one,
it's
okay
to
feel
that
way,
and
it's
okay
to
talk
to
someone
about
it.
E
It's
okay,
to
cry:
it's!
Okay
to
yell
and
scream
and
yell
bad
language.
It's
okay!
I'm
doing
it
so
anyway!
That's
what
I
want
to
just
say
is
we're
with
everybody
in
uvalde
texas
and
get
another
senseless
shooting,
and
I
can't
fathom
losing
my
own
child
or
children,
and
yet
there's
over
a
dozen
parents
that
are
doing
that
right
now.
F
Yeah,
I
think
you
know
I'm
joining
matt
and
my
grief
is
just
being
just
incredibly
raw
tonight
having
just
learned
about
this
news
a
few
hours
ago,
and
I
just
want
to
recognize
that
I
know
I'm
not
alone.
I
know
we
have
a
lot
of
folks
here
who
are
feeling
that-
and
I
just
wanted
to
send
out
some
gratitude
to
everybody
for
being
here
tonight,
especially
to
our
staff,
many
of
whom
are
also
parents
who
are
making
this
meeting
possible.
F
Thank
you
for
being
here
despite
your
heartbreak,
and
thank
you
especially
for
being
here
tonight
at
this
meeting,
to
make
this
meeting
possible
thanks
for
helping
our
community
fight
back
against
what
seems
to
be
a
plague
of
calculated
cruelty
and
greed.
I
really
am
grateful
for
your
effort
to
be
here
tonight.
D
Thanks
for
that,
nicole,
I'm
seeing
no
other
hands.
I
will
move
this
into
the
the
business
portion
of
the
meeting,
but
I
will
just
remind
anyone
who's
struggling
with
with
grief
and
needs,
help
that
the
boulder
strong
resource
center
continues
to
be
open
every
single
day
on
baseline
road.
D
Okay,
we
have
a
couple
of
announcements
here
at
the
beginning.
So
I'll
start
with
those.
The
first
one
is
about
covet
19
vaccinations
for
testing
to
find
information
and
provider
locations
for
free
code.
19
testing
go
to
www.foco.org
testing
the
boulder
site,
that
is
2445
stazio
drive
open
seven
days
a
week
from
8
am
to
6
pm
and
for
vaccine
information
and
provider
locations.
You
can
go
to
www.boco.com.
D
D
We
wanted
to
remind
you
to
remind
you
new
grads,
to
celebrate
safely
and
never
drink
and
drive
choose
a
safe
way
to
get
home
instead
of
getting
behind
the
wheel
when
intoxicated
get
an
uber
or
a
lyft
call
a
family
or
a
friend
family,
member
or
friend,
to
pick
you
up
or
take
the
bus,
you
can
download
the
transit
app
for
real-time
info
and
by
celebrating
safely
you
can
help
our
community
reach
our
vision,
zero
goals
of
zero
deaths
and
serious
zero,
serious
injuries
on
our
streets
and
I'd
just
like
to
say
thank
you
to
councilmember
rachel
friend,
as
well
as
a
bbsd
board
member
and
the
college
paul
for
writing
an
editorial
on
the
subject.
D
It
was
very
well
put
together.
I
appreciate
you
doing
that
and
congratulations
to
the
class
of
2022.
D
Okay
alicia:
can
we
do
the
roll
call
now
and
get
the
official
question
being
started.
G
B
H
G
F
J
D
Motion
segment
all
in
favor
show
hands.
D
Okay,
that's
unanimous!
The
agenda
is
duly
amended.
So
we'll
now
go
into
item
1a,
which
is
a
pride
month.
Awareness
declaration
presented
by
council
member
speaker.
F
More
than
50
years
ago,
patrons
and
supporters
of
the
stonewall
inn
in
new
york
city
resisted
police
harassment
that
had
become
all
too
common
for
members
of
the
lesbian,
gay,
bisexual,
transgender
and
queer
lgbtq
plus
community.
Out
of
this
resistance,
the
lgbtq
plus
rights
movement
in
america
was
born
during
lgbtq
plus
pride
month.
We
commemorate
the
events
of
june
1969
and
commit
to
achieving
equal
justice
under
law
for
lgbtq
plus
americans.
F
Boulder
has
a
diverse,
lgbtq
plus
community.
That
includes
people
of
many
ethnicities,
religions
and
professions,
and
we
consider
diversity
to
be
a
societal
asset
that
enhances
and
enriches
the
lives
of
all
community
members.
Lgbtq
plus
americans
have
made,
and
continue
to
make
great
and
lasting
contributions
to
strengthen
the
fabric
of
our
community.
F
Excuse
me:
lgbtq
plus
americans
are
not
legally
protected
from
discrimination
in
29
states
and
every
day
children
and
young
adults
are
rejected
by
their
families
because
of
who
they
are
or
who
they
love.
Moreover,
lgbtq
plus
people
of
color
experience,
additional
disparities
in
violence
and
discrimination.
F
Data
from
the
center
for
american
progress
shows
lgbtq,
plus
people
of
color
reported
experiencing
some
form
of
discrimination
at
a
rate,
12
percentage
points
higher
than
white
lgbtq,
plus
respondents
since
2013.
Nearly
two-thirds
of
fatal
violence
toward
transgender
and
gender
non-conforming
people
involved
a
gun,
and
the
overwhelming
majority
of
those
victims
were
black
women
under
the
age
of
30..
F
As
our
city
celebrates
pride
this
month,
we
recognize
we
must
do
better
to
support
our
lgbtq
plus
community
members,
as
we
continue
to
experience
impacts
from
the
kobit
19
pandemic.
We
also
recognize
the
resilience
of
our
community
members
who
came
together
and
contributed
to
greater
safety
in
this
time
of
need.
D
Thank
you
for
that,
nicole.
I
believe
we
have
marty
moore
from
outboulder
county
here
to
receive
the
declaration.
Welcome
marty.
K
Thank
you.
My
name
is
marty
moore,
my
pronouns.
Are
she
her
and
hers,
and
I
have
the
great
privilege
of
being
the
executive
director
at
out
boulder
county,
nicole
and
council
council
member
spear,
I
should
say,
and
the
rest
of
the
council.
Thank
you
so
much
for
once
again,
proclaiming
june
as
pride
month
in
the
city
of
boulder,
I'm
so
appreciative.
So
many
people
on
this
call
staff
and
council
who,
every
time
we
say,
maybe
we
ought
to
change
this
for
better
inclusion
steps
are
taken.
K
I
I
couldn't
think
of
a
better,
better
place
to
live
and
a
better
council,
no
matter
what
political
side
we
fall
on,
we
seem
to
all
agree
on
a
few
things,
and
one
of
them
is
the
health
and
safety
of
our
community,
and
I
certainly
appreciate
that
matt
and
nicole
thanks
for
your
words,
I
will
say
I
wasn't
planning
on
saying
this,
but
I
you
know
we
moved
into
this
beautiful
new
building
and
as
soon
as
we
signed
the
papers.
K
The
next
person
who
came
in
was
the
city
of
police
city
of
boulder
police
person
mitch
to
walk
us
through
our
safe
rooms
and
to
find
out
what
locks
to
put
on
our
doors,
because
we,
the
lgbtq
community
as
a
new
proclamation,
is
a
targeted
population
in
today's
in
today's
world,
and
so
we
appreciate,
I
personally
appreciate
the
time
and
effort
you're
putting
in
the
study
session.
That's
coming
up
and
all
the
work
you
do
to
keep
our
community
safer.
While
you
two
struggle
with
all
we
have
to
struggle
with.
K
D
Thanks
so
much
for
that
marty,
and
we
should
mention
that
we
have
the
rainbows
over
boulder
flag
raising.
That's,
I
believe,
that's
june
1st
at
noon.
Do
I
have
that
right
at
on
on
the
pearl
street
mall.
K
Yes,
thank
you,
mayor
brockett.
We
do
and
also
city
employees
who
are
repainting
the
crosswalks
and
rainbow
colors
and
redoing.
The
thing
on
the
west
end
the
flag
on
the
west
end
of
pearl
and
also
I
understand
they're
rainbow
colors
and
the
flowers
paints
that
are
all
over
the
mall.
So
city
of
boulder
staff
from
beginning
to
end
have
been
fantastic
each
june
and
thank
you,
we
hope
you'll
all
attend
and
I'm
hoping,
I
think,
council,
member
spear
and
council
member
yates,
will
be
there
with
us.
That
day.
D
Should
be
a
great
event?
Okay,
thanks
so
much
so
we
now
have
another
declaration
so
nicole,
if
you
want
to
take
us
to
queer
astrix
birthday.
F
F
L
Hello
yeah.
Thank
you,
councilmember
spear.
Thank
you,
council
and
mayor
for
this
declaration
very
honored
to
be
here
alongside
marty,
moore,
an
outbuilder
who
does
so
much
for
for
all
of
our
community
yeah.
As
you
shared
nicole,
we've
been
our
I'm
sorry,
council
member.
We
are
a
colorado
non-profit
that
was
founded
and
is
now
headquartered
here
in
boulder.
L
We
are
consider
ourselves
a
therapeutic
services
organization
providing
services
in
three
areas
which
are
counseling
community
programming
and
education.
L
L
National
political,
climate
and
environment
definitely
looks
like
that's
just
going
to,
unfortunately,
continue
to
put
the
members
of
our
community
in
the
crosshairs
of
a
lot
of
hate
and
discrimination,
and
so
the
work
that
we
do
particularly
around
counseling
is
just
a
very
important
service
that
we
are,
you
know
honored
to
be
able
to
provide,
in
particular
in
boulder
again
we
have
been
working
100
virtually
and
now
you
know,
can
provide
services
across
the
state,
but
we
were
founded
here
in
boulder
as
our
home
and
we're
very
honored.
L
M
L
This
city
and
all
that
is
done
here,
so
thank
you
all
for
recognizing
who
we
are
and
we're.
You
know
carrying
the
torch
to
continue
this
important
work,
that's
ahead
of
us
and
to
continue
to
provide
as
many
people
as
we
can
and
as
well.
I
think
for
city
council.
L
You
have
also
supported
us
in
the
pa
over
the
past
three
years
through
the
health
services
fund
through
approving
grant
work
for
us
that
does
also,
you
know,
provide
free
and
low-cost
care
to
folks
who
can't
otherwise
afford
it.
So
thank
you
as
well
for
for
helping
us
to
continue
that
work.
D
Thank
you
and
happy
birthday,
and
congratulations
again.
Yes,
thank
you.
Take
care!
Okay.
Well
now,
we're
moving
on
to
bye
marty
have
a
good
night
great
to
have
you
here.
Thank
you.
D
G
And

order
published
by
title
ordinance,

26
and
or
continued

in
consideration
of
a

and
or
the
continued

85,
28
and
or
the
continued

and
consideration
of
emotion
for
ordinance.
85
29.
D
Thank
you
so
much
for
that
and
just
a
reminder.
This
is
a
continued
hearing
from
first
reading,
where
we
asked
staff
to
make
a
few
changes
based
on
our
feedback.
They
did
so,
and
so
just
let
us
know
if
you
have
any
questions
or
comments
about
those
revisions
that
staff
has
made
about
us.
You
got
a
hand.
N
N
I
move
the
following
six
ordinances
on
first
reading,
published
by
title
only
ordinance,
eight,
four,
nine
four,
eight
five,
two
five,
eight
five,
two
six,
eight
five,
two
seven,
eight
five,
two
eight
and
eight
five,
two
nine.
N
It
just
you
know
it's
obviously
both
painful
and
poignant
that
we're
passing
this
tonight
of
all
nights,
but
I'm
proud
that
we
are-
and
I
know
we're
doing
the
right
thing
for
our
community
and
for
our
families.
D
Thank
you
I'll
add
in
that.
I'm
also
proud
that
we're
moving
this
forward
and
doing
what
we
can
locally
about
the
scourge
of
gun
violence
in
our
society.
So
thanks
for
everybody's
work
on
this,
this
is
a
show
of
hands.
I
believe
felicia.
That
is
correct.
Sir
great
all,
those
in
favor,
please
raise
your
hand.
D
And
that's
passed
great
okay!
So
now
I'm
we
move
on
to
item
three
at.
G
O
I
think
that
will
be
me
good
evening.
Council
members,
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
nuria
rivera
vanderbide,
our
city
manager
tonight,
and
I
also
get
the
pleasure
of
presenting
this
item
and
if
emily,
if
you
can
pull
up
slides
for
me
here,
real
quick,
we're
gonna
make
this
one
fairly
quick.
O
We
wanted
to
have
a
discussion
around
council
meetings
and
the
times
of
medium
cobit
risk.
So
if
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
what
we
really
want
to
cover
quickly
is
kind
of
current
state
data.
What
that
means
in
terms
of
city
operations
and
then
specifically,
two
questions
for
council
on
the
meeting
approach
and
any
updates
that
you'd
like.
So.
O
If
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
this
will
show
really
the
the
covet
19
community
levels
chart
that
the
cdc
has
published
and
based
on
our
current
county
data
at
roughly
350
cases
per
100
000
that
put
us
into
the
medium
level
of
community
risk
or
yellow.
O
So
if
we
go
to
the
next
slide-
and
we
share
this
in
a
hotline
with
with
council
for
city
operations-
we've
put
together
a
very
simple
chart
kind
of
describing
what
do
our
operations
look
like
at
the
various
covid
community
risk
levels
and
under
this
medium
level,
our
office-based
workers
move
into
a
kind
of
hybrid,
optional
posture
where
our
facilities
will
remain
open
to
the
public.
All
of
our
customer
service
centers
are
still
open
and
available,
but
we'll
have
less
staff
in
the
offices,
more
morph
staff
working
from
home.
O
Of
course,
our
field-based
work
continues
in
person.
We're
gonna
talk
about
council
meetings
here
in
a
second
and
then
recognizing
that
there
is
a
slightly
elevated
risk
of
gathering
lots
of
people.
Our
community
engagement
or
public
engagement
would
be
either
virtual
or
outdoor
only
and
then
masking
is
recommended
indoors
and
required
for
any
of
our
unvaccinated
employees
for
council
and
board
meetings
under
level,
green
or
low.
The
council
meetings
would
be
hybrid,
meaning
in
person
and
folks
participating
virtually
with
the
public.
O
So
if
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
that'll
get
us
really
to
our
two
questions
for
for
council
tonight.
O
The
second
option
would
be
council
on
staff
or
hybrid
meaning,
a
hybrid
in
the
room
like
we
were
starting
to
work
towards
with
the
public
virtual
or
the
last
would
be
an
option
where
council,
staff
and
public
is
all
hybrid
with
then
personal
mitigation
measures
such
as
masking
and
courage
for
folks,
and
then
the
second
question
we
have
for
council
tonight
is
just
whether
you
would
like
a
form
more
formal
update
from
boulder
county
public
health
now
that
we've
entered
level
yellow.
So
with
that,
we're
happy
to
hear
your
discussion.
P
Well,
as
at
least
five
of
us
have
experienced
covert,
which
is
no
guarantee
that
we
won't
experience
covet
again,
it
seems
to
me
to
be
most
prudent
to
go
virtual
for
our
meetings,
at
least
for
the
moment.
I
don't
think
anybody
finds
that
desirable
or
preferable
unless
you
just
like
wearing
shorts
to
the
meeting,
but
I
think
it's
not
prudent
for
us
to
be
coming
back
in
person
in
enclosed
space.
A
number
of
us
also
have
families,
and
that
would
be
my
preference.
P
Hopefully
we
don't
stay
in
that
condition
too
long,
but
I
think
it's
it's
the
thing
to
do
at
the
moment
and
with
respect
to
number
two.
Yes,
I
would
very
much
appreciate
a
a
more
formal
update
from
boulder
county
public
health
just
so
that
we
have
a
better
command
of
the
facts,
with
respect
to
our
current
condition.
P
D
E
Thanks
aaron,
I'm
gonna
agree
with
mark
on
this
I
mean
you
know.
E
Before
I
mean
we
were
witnessing
the
the
rapid
spread
before
the
numbers
indicated,
we
were
already
in
yellow,
so
I
I
think
you
know
we
kind
of
have
seen
that
firsthand
and
it's
and
it's
still
pretty
run
it's
running
rampant
throughout
our
community
still
so
so
I
think
a
is
definitely
the
most
prudent
thing
for
us
to
do,
and
certainly
you
know
be
in
green
for
quite
a
while
before
we
consider
going
out
of
option
a
and
moving
into
some
other
form.
E
So
I
think,
as
long
as
we're
in
this
state,
we
need
to
stay
virtual
and
keep
our
community
safe
and
keep
each
other
safe
as
best
we
can.
E
With
regards
to
number
two,
I
think
certainly
now
that
we're
in
yellow
and
there's
some
greater
dynamics.
Some
of
those
you
know,
data
points
that
would
trigger
actions
we
might
hit
and
others
we
won't
for
various
reasons
because
of
variants
having
different
impacts
on
our
communities.
So
I
think
learning
those
subtleties
from
boulder
county
health
would
be
helpful
as
we
mitigate
that
and
learn
how
we
can
sort
of
keep
our
communities
safe.
So
I
would
agree
with
mark
on
both
fronts.
A
Did
you
say
me?
Yes,
oh
you
did
okay,
I
I
wanna.
I
agree
with
mark
and
with
matt,
and
I
also
want
to
add
that
for
me,
it's
better
to
see
people's
faces
on
council
than
it
is
for
to
be
masked
where
we
can't
see
each
other's
thoughts,
feelings
and
emotions
except
our
eyes.
So
I
am
going
to
say
that
I'd
rather
it
be
virtual.
I
know
it's
hard
on
the
public,
but
it
is
definitely
safer.
J
I
probably
would
go
be
with
masks,
but
won't
push
that,
because
I
I
know,
that's
not
where
the
majority
are.
I
do
think
there's
value
to
being
in
person
and
making
decisions
not
looking
at
the
screen,
and
then
I
don't
I
don't.
I
probably
would
not
vote
to
have
a
formal
update
at
this
point.
Thanks.
D
It's
was
somebody
who
got
coveted
in
this
last
round
and
has
still
not
recovered
from
it
almost
three
weeks
later.
I
definitely
I'll
go
with
a
so
that
we
can
avoid
any
transmission
there,
and
you
know,
maybe
hopefully
we'll
be
out
of
the
yellow
by
the
time
we
come
back
from
recess
this
summer
and
we
can
get
back
to
in
person
by
that
time.
I'm
I'm
fine
having
boulder
county
public
health
come
talk
to
us.
I
Thank
you
yeah.
I
I
feel
a
lot
of
those
concerns
as
well.
My
only
I
would
like
to
check
back
in
maybe
after
break
just
to
see
how
we're
feeling.
I
H
Thank
you
aaron.
I
would
support
virtual
I've
had
a
yeah
it
it
it's.
I
think
that
is
the
right
thing
to
do.
It's
the
prudent
thing
to
do
at
the
moment,
and
also
another
thought
is
checking
back
after
break
is
fine.
H
H
Is
it's
hard
it's
hard
to
see
people's
faces,
it's
hard
to
understand
their
expressions,
and
I
find
myself
being
louder
than
necessary
when
I'm
wearing
a
mask
anyway,
I
would
welcome
the
the
update
from
boulder
county
public
health.
I
think
getting
information
from
the
experts
is
always
good
to
know
exactly
what's
going
on
and
also
it.
It
also
helps
the
community
as
well
to
know
that
it's
not
just
something
that
is
coming
from
us
on
council
who
are
not
the
real
expert
on
public
health.
So
thank
you.
N
What
would
you
all
think
about
having
boulder
county
public
health
come
in
maybe
on
june
14th,
which
is
our
second
to
last
meeting
before
the
break
and
then
having
this
discussion
again
on
june
21st,
which
is
our
last
meeting
before
the
break
so
we'll
be
armed
with
whatever
boulder
county
public
health
tells
us
and
and
and
having
to
check
in
on
the
21st,
which
is
about
a
month
from
now
and
and
if
things
are
still
where
they
are
right
now
or
worse,
then,
obviously
it
becomes
pretty
obvious,
but
if
things
are
improving
and
we
we
can
see
the
the
horizon
to
the
first
meeting
in
july,
which
is
not
until
july
14th
that
will
allow
staff
and
us
to
prepare
for
a
potentially
a
live
meeting,
and
so
rather
than
waiting
until
the
after
the
break
is
over
and
and
having
a
virtual
meeting
as
our
first
meeting
in
in
mid-july.
D
H
Well,
I
suppose
I
can
just
add
it.
I
like
I
like
the
suggestion,
lauren's
suggestion,
but
the
thing
is:
if
we're
going
on
break
and
things
may
change
after
break,
I
just
thought.
Maybe
it
might
be
a
good
idea
to
just
wait
until
after
break
then
we
have
all
the
answers
that
we
need
to
move
forward,
because
what,
if
things,
change
within
that
almost
a
month,
we're
gonna
be
out
for
break.
H
So
I
suppose
that's
a
question
for
cac,
but
I
really
think
maybe
having
those
medical
professionals
or
these
health
experts
come
after
break.
D
It's
a
good
point
I'll
just
I
know
there
there's
some
preparation
involved
and
the
next
cac
won't
be
until
the
day
before
the
next
meeting.
But
it's
a
well
taken
point
so
we'll
talk
it
over.
O
Yeah,
I
think
that
gives
us
what
what
we
need
we'll
work
with
cac
and
go
from
there.
Thank
you
so
much.
D
H
H
Today
we
have
three
items
in
our
agenda:
the
financial
update
and
budget
outlook
for
90
minutes,
the
guaranteed
income
pilot
project
for
90
minutes,
and
also
an
update
for
of
boulder
museum
of
contemporary
arts.
Community
culture
and
safety
tax
matching
grant
agreement
for
30
minutes.
We
will
stop
after
each
item
for
questions,
discussions
and
direction.
Q
Thanks
chris,
I
appreciate
it
good
evening,
council,
cara,
skinner,
interim
chief
financial
officer,
as
you
know,
we're
here
for
the
annual
financial
update
in
2023
budget
outlook
and
if
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
we'll
see
the
agenda
as
mark's
pulling
up
our
presentation
here.
Q
So
we're
going
to
begin
the
evening
with
a
macroeconomic
update
and
a
presentation
of
our
sales
tax
forecast
from
our
cu
partners,
who
are
very
grateful
to
have
their
assistance
and
experts
fees.
They've
been
with
us
for
the
last
two
years
and
I
believe
rich
and
robert
are
going
to
present
tonight
and
then
brian
is
also
on
the
meeting
to
answer
questions
as
needed.
Q
And
then
I
will
present
the
city's
financial
update
and
then
mark
will
conclude
the
evening
with
the
budget
outlook
and
some
very
exciting
process
and
system
improvements
that
we're.
L
R
And
yes,
and
thank
you
so
much
and
before
I
start
I
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
the
council
members
who
said
nice
things
that
the
cu
graduation
about
me.
I
appreciate
that,
and
especially
in
front
of
the
people
who
pay
my
salary.
So
thank
you
for
those
kind
words
and
we
enjoy
working
with
you
as
well.
So
thank
you
for
saying
those
nice
things
so
with
that.
R
R
We
always
try
to
shape
this
in
the
context
of
looking
at
the
the
national
economy
and
the
state
economy
and
how
that
fits
in
and,
of
course,
as
you
all
know,
from
just
you
know,
from
reading
and
being
aware
of
everything,
that's
going
on
the
circumstances
of
the
economy
continue
to
be
very
uncertain,
even
though
the
recovery
has
been
quite
strong,
the
we
certainly
feel
a
lot
of
uncertainty.
R
So
if
you
move
to
the
next
slide,
we
can
talk
about
just
some
of
the
background
pieces
here.
You've
already,
you
know
this,
but
we
got
back
to
the
same
level
of
gross
domestic
product
in
2021
that
we
had
prior
to
the
recession.
R
So
we
saw
the
classic
sort
of
v-shaped
recovery
and
I
just
as
a
quick,
highlight
or
reminder
the
bottom
box
over
there
and
that
little
breakout
is
consumption
and
consumption
is,
you
know,
roughly
70
percent
of
gdp.
So
when
you're
looking
at,
I
don't
know
the
potential
of
going
into
a
recession
as
we
go
forward
from
here.
Of
course,
you
got
to
be
focused
on
consumption
and
investment,
the
two
largest
components
of
gdp,
the
tan
and
then
the
sort
of
brownish
sort
of
pieces
of
the
bar
on
the
left.
R
The
most
recent
quarter,
as
I'm
sure
you
heard
and
made
headline
news,
was
negative
gdp
growth
and
caused
some
to
say.
Are
we
going
into
a
recession
and,
frankly,
that
kind
of
commentary
was
probably
not
as
well
informed
as
it
could
have
been.
The
two
components
that
dragged
down
and
made
gdp
go
negative
were
state
and
local
government
spending
and
the
inventory
piece
of
of
the
gdp-
and
I
should
say
three
pieces
and
the
net
exports
swamped
the
growth
in
the
period,
but
consumption
and
other
aspects
of
investment
were
very,
very
strong.
R
So
at
this
point
to
be
saying
is
the
economy
on
the
precipice
of
recession,
at
least
in
my
mind,
seems
to
be
a
strong
exaggeration
but
happy
to
talk
about
that
in
more
detail
when
we
get
to
the
q
a
we're
thinking
for
this
year
or
looking
at
this
year,
gdp
being
about
three
percent,
but
I'm
we're
cautioning.
Here
gdp
goes
down
in
the
two
plus
percent
range
next
year,
so
we've
seen
some
sort
of
rosy
times
with
all
of
the
transfer
payments
that
have
occurred
to
households.
R
That,
of
course,
is
waning.
Pretty
significantly
next
slide,
please!
R
R
So
as
we
look
at
this,
it
has
been
dramatic.
I
I
received
a
couple
of
pretty
negative
emails
from
people.
When
I
was
quoted
saying
you
know,
stimulus
worked,
I
mean
you
have
to
look
at
this
and
say
it
worked
when
you
look
at
what
happened
in
2008
and
you
look
at
the
other
recessions,
I
mean
we've
had
a
really
dramatic
recovery
from
a
catastrophic
event
that
doesn't
mean
there
haven't
been
negative.
R
R
At
this
far
out-
and
here
we
are-
you-
know,
two
years
out
and
we're
looking
to
be
back
to
the
same
level
of
employment
in
just
a
few
months.
So
recovery
from
this
recession
has
been
so
much
more
dramatic
than
the
2008
and
and
even
the
2001.,
both
of
those
being
sort
of
jobless,
in
the
sense
that
it
took
a
long
time
to
recover
the
jobs
next
slide,
please
so
in
in
terms
of
looking
at
the
employment
recovery.
We've
talked
about
this
in
the
past
and
I
know
you're
well
informed
on
this
topic.
R
So
at
this
point
colorado
you
know
we're
not
a
top
10
state
but
we're
a
very,
very
strong
state.
You
can
see
the
dark
brown
states
on
this
particular
graphic,
montana,
idaho
and
utah,
with
the
strongest
growth
rates,
and
then
everybody
that's
in
or
every
state.
That's
in
tan
has
gotten
back
and
exceeded
previous
peak
levels,
but
you
can
also
see
a
number
of
states
struggling
and
are
are
below
and
significantly
below.
In
some
cases,
previous
levels
of
employment
so
really
have
a
geographic
lack
of
equity
as
well.
R
So
this
is,
of
course,
the
interesting
piece,
the
the
federal
reserve-
and
I
think
we
talked
about
this-
the
last
time
we
presented
to
council,
but
the
federal
reserve,
believing
that
the
inflation
was
going
to
be
transitory.
R
R
So
this
particular
graphic,
if
you're
not
familiar
with
it,
is
referred
to
as
the
dot
plot,
and
it
is
the
belief
of
the
fed
people
voting
people
where
they're
going
to
be
where
interest
rates
are
going
to
be
over
time.
R
And
if
you
start
at
the
very
bottom
back
at
the
september
2021
meeting
when
they
did
their
dot
plot,
they
were
suggesting
that
in
2022,
where
we
are
now,
that
rates
would
be
somewhere
around
a
half
a
percent
of
you
to
average
all
those
dots
out
then
by
the
time
december
rolled
around,
and
they
realized
it
wasn't
quite
as
transitory
as
they
thought
it
was
going
to
be.
That
number
had
risen.
R
Those
are
the
red
dots
that
you
see
for
this
year
next
year
and
2024,
but
you
can
see
that
the
the
dots
had
risen
to
a
little
under
one
percent
on
average
and
then
in
the
march
meeting
when
things
persisted
quite
a
bit
longer,
the
numbers
moved
up
to
numbers
that
are
suggesting
that
the
rates
this
year
are
going
to
be
somewhere
around
1.75.
R
R
You
know
big
a
big
rate
jump
already,
because
in
my
mind,
the
reason
for
that
is
that
not
just
inflation
is
high,
but
they're
worried
that
the
inflation
is
going
to
turn
into
what
they
call
a
wage
price
spiral
that,
if
continued
workers
keep
seeing
continued
high
inflation,
you're
going
to
be
demanding
higher
and
higher
wages,
and
then
that
high
those
higher
wages
translate
into
higher
prices
and
become.
You
know,
a
continuing
spiral
in
an
upward
direction.
So
they're
trying
to
get
their
arms
around
this
and
and
slow
this
down.
R
R
So
this
is
what
consensus
people,
including
people
like
myself,
or
have
been
saying
every
time
they
ask
us
where
inflation
rates
are
going
to
be
in
may
we're
saying:
oh
they
peaked
and
then
in
july
we
said,
oh,
they
peaked
and
then
in
october,
oh,
they
peaked
december.
They
peaked.
You
can
see
each
time
the
consensus
comes
out,
there's
a
higher
and
higher
number,
but
it
does
appear
that
we've
we're
seeing
significant
signs
of
slowing
in
a
couple
of
areas.
That
would
give
you
hope
that
we've
actually
reached
the
peak
of
that.
R
R
R
I
would
like
to
highlight,
though,
when
you
look
at
the
inflation
in
that
right-hand
table,
that
the
u.s
at
8.5,
the
mountain
region,
including
utah
and
idaho,
and
the
some
of
the
states
you
saw
that
are
leading
the
recovery
at
10.4
was
the
highest
inflation
region
in
the
country
in
denver,
aurora
lakewood,
again
higher
than
the
u.s
average.
So
we
are
feeling
the
inflationary
pressure
more
in
this
part
of
the
country,
and
then
you
can
see
the
areas
where
it's
it's
most
pronounced.
R
I
will
say
it's
a
little
striking
and
I
don't
have
an
answer.
Don't
ask
this
question
because
I
don't
know
the
answer,
but
medical
care,
u.s,
2.9
percent
mountain
region,
four
percent
and
in
denver
aurora,
lakewood
7.6.
R
I
don't
know
why
we're
so
much
higher
in
that
particular
category,
but
but
I
hopefully
this
slide
provides
you
some
insight.
I
think
you
probably
assess
the
housing
piece
and
its
contribution
and
it's
a
very
heavy
weight.
42
and
again
the
mountain
region
and
denver
aurora
lakewood,
both
with
a
higher
number
in
terms
of
the
inflation
contribution
and
vis-a-vis
housing.
R
Next
slide,
please.
So
all
that
said
colorado's
doing
well.
As
I
hopefully
indicated
in
terms
of
the
employment
recovery,
but
in
lots
of
other
areas
as
well-
maybe
not
a
top
10
performing
state,
depending
on
which
category
you're
looking
at,
but
still
a
strong
state
gdp
growth,
12
employment,
growth,
13th
population,
growth,
12th.
That's
that's!
Quite
a
bit
different
for
colorado.
We
have
historically
been
a
top
5-7
state
in
terms
of
employment
in
terms
of
population
growth.
R
So
this
is
definitely
a
relative
slowdown
in
terms
of
the
population
piece,
but
most
of
the
other
ones
look
pretty
good,
and
even
though,
at
the
very
bottom
we're
20th
for
home
price
appreciation
out
of
51,
including
the
district
of
columbia.
R
R
I
would
also
highlight
the
line
right
above
that
we
have
the
third
highest
labor
force,
participation
rate
in
the
country,
and
so
we,
you
know
we
have
gone
back
and
the
workforce
has
come
back
up
and-
and
it
is
one
of
the
reasons
it's
my
mind-
the
principal
reason
why,
in
why,
in
terms
of
unemployment
rate,
we're
sort
of
in
the
middle
of
the
pack,
with
with
employment
growth
being
above
significantly
above
the
middle
of
the
pack,
we've
actually
had
everybody
go
back
into
the
workforce.
R
I
would
tell
you
both
just
as
a
quick
sidebar,
both
the
u.s
and
colorado
unemployment
rates
are
under
three
percent-
I'm
sorry
under
four
percent,
but
if
you
adjusted
for
labor
force
participation,
the
u.s
unemployment
rate
would
be
about
6.6.
R
So
you
know
we're
looking
at
the
u.s
unemployment
rate
under
four
percent
and
we're
comparing
comparing
ourselves
to
that.
But
it's
because
the
labor
force
participation
has
come
back
much
more
strongly
in
colorado
than
it
has
as
in
the
country
as
a
whole.
R
Next
slide,
please
so
in
closing
out
this
first
portion
and
getting
ready
to
pass
to
baton
to
my
colleague
robert.
This
is
an
intriguing
piece
and
it's
certainly
a
key
element
of
vis-a-vis
retail
sales
at
the
local
level,
for
boulder
and
for
the
state
and
so
on,
and
of
course,
you
know,
they're
absolutely
a
key
element
of
state
and
local
finance
retail
sales
in
colorado.
R
So
here
you
have.
The
long-term
trend
in
tan
is
the
actual
number
and
the
red
line
is
sort
of
a
trend
line
drawn
through
that,
and
you
get
this
incredible
plunge:
22
percent,
when
we
had
covet
when
the
essential
services
and
so
on,
were
shut
down,
and
then
this
dramatic
jump
up
now
again,
we've
addressed
this
in
prior
presentations
to
council,
but
a
a
chunk
of
that
is
certainly
being
driven
by
the
three
stimulus
checks
that
were
sent
to
households
by
the
combination
of
state
and
federal
unemployment,
benefits
by
child
care
credits
and
so
on.
R
There
was
just
a
lot
more
liquidity
or
demand
stimulus
to
drive
more
consumption.
There
was
also
a
significant
movement
from
services
to
goods.
People
couldn't,
you
know,
go
to
restaurants
and
they
couldn't
go
to
health
clubs,
so
they
spent
their
money
on
you
know
and
they
couldn't
travel.
Very
importantly,
they
couldn't
travel,
so
all
of
that
money
got
was
sitting
there
and
people
were
using
it
on
other
things.
They
were
home
improvements
and
they
were
using
it
on
new
vehicles
and
other
types
of
things.
R
Well,
now
that
has
you
know,
changed
and,
having
heard
the
first,
the
conversation
that
just
occurred
before
ours,
hopefully
it's
going
to
stay
changed,
but
we
don't
know
obviously,
but
we're
seeing
the
consumption
pattern
now
moving
very
much
back
to
the
way
it
was
pre-covered
in
terms
of
being
more
services
based
going
back
to
restaurant
sales,
going
back
to
health
services
going
back
to
travel
significantly,
so
we're
seeing
the
goods
and
services
sort
of
break
down
of
expenditures
getting
more
back
to
normal
and
just
a
ballpark
on
that.
R
If
you're
not
familiar
with
that,
typically
services
is
at
least
60
percent
of
consumption
in
the
us,
including
health
services.
60
65
goods
are,
you,
know,
30
35
kind
of
range,
so
you're
in
you're.
You
know
in
some
sort
of
range
like
that
you
know
60
to
70
percent
services.
You
know
30
to
40
percent
in
terms
of
goods
in
terms
of
the
breakdown
of
that,
so
it
varies
a
little
bit
over
time,
but
it
not
tremendously
and
now
we're
going
back
to
sort
of
pre-covert
distribution
in
terms
of
those
expenditures.
R
So
what
you
see
over
on
the
far
right-hand
side
is
sort
of
the
confusion.
That's
there.
We
have
this
dramatic
increase
in
terms
of
retail
sales.
Is
it
a
new
trajectory
like
the
red
line?
That's
much
more
upward
sloping.
Did
we
have
a
shift
that
occurred
to
the
sort
of
green
line?
Meaning
does
you
know,
did
the
ease
of
buying
everything
via
amazon-
and
you
know
e-commerce
and
so
on?
R
Did
that
make
americans
as
a
whole
or
u.s
citizens
as
a
u.s
people
as
a
whole,
more
consumption
oriented
or
is
this
something
that's
temporary
and
then,
after
everything,
calms
down
we'll
go
back
to
the
old?
You
know
trend
line,
and
we
don't
have
an
answer
for
that.
But,
of
course
that's
an
absolutely
critical
part
of
thinking
about
your
financial
projections
next
slide,
please.
R
So
here's
what
we
saw
for
the
state
of
colorado
year
over
year,
17.5
percent
through
april
tremendous
increase
and,
as
you
can
see,
the
same
sort
of
upward
trajectory
that
you
saw
on
the
previous
slide.
You
know
very
steep
upward
trajectory,
but
we
did
see
at
the
city
and
county
level
fairly
different
results
based
on
the
composition
of
industry,
and
what
do
I
mean
by
that?
Whether
people
had
to
physically
be
there
or
whether
they
could
do
more
telecommuting
like
they
can
in
a
lot
of
the
industries
in
boulder?
R
The
reliance
on
tourism
is
part
of
the
retail
sales
mix,
so
it
sells
tax
collections
commuters
in
and
out.
If
you're,
you
know
more
people
commuting
or
not
commuting
the
retail
mix,
big
box
versus
main
street,
the
amount
of
actual
physical
development
that
was
occurring
in
these
different
communities
and
the
population
growth
so
we're
working
with.
I
don't
know
five
entities
at
this
point
doing
this
work
and
it
varies
greatly
in
these
different
entities.
R
R
R
So
you're
getting
you
know
two
years
worth
of
data
and
you
can
see
all
the
way
on
the
right
hand,
side
denver,
which
is
had
about
two
percent
of
increase
over
a
two
year
period
with
people
not
returning
to
the
offices
in
downtown
or
at
a
very
rapid
rate,
with
the
impact
that
the
of
the
loss
of
the
arts
spending
and
so
on.
You
know
it's.
R
It's
been
a
rough
go
in
the
downtown
metro
area
and
that's
not
unusual
for
metro
areas
in
the
us
that
they're
under
this
sort
of
duress,
you
can
see
boulder
sort
of
in
the
middle
and
again
based
on
the
cr.
The
comments
I
made
earlier
on
what's
been
affecting
this,
the
most
big
box
versus
street
level,
retail.
We
were
just
eating
in
downtown
boulder
today
and
we
saw
the
same
sort
of
thing.
R
You
know
people
aren't
returning
to
the
downtown
office
space
who's
or
not
fully
who's,
supporting
the
downtown
restaurants,
and
so
on.
So
with
that,
I
think
I'm
coming
up
on
passing
the
baton
on
this
next
slide
to
my
colleague,
robert
and
he's
going
to
talk
about
the
city
of
boulder
forecast.
Thank
you.
S
Oh
yes,
thanks
rich,
so
rich
has
provided
the
economic
background,
both
at
the
national
and
state
levels,
and
now
I
want
to
start
off
by
talking
about
how
we
use
that
kind
of
information
in
our
econometric
model
to
produce
the
forecasts
for
boulder
for
the
city
of
boulder
and
in
older
tax
revenues.
S
There
is,
however,
as
you'll
see
when
I
present
some
numbers,
that
there
is
some
degree
of
independence
and,
of
course,
you've
seen
that
already
in
rich's
presentation
showing
how
colorado
ranks
across
these
different
indicators
compared
to
other
well
or
relative
to
the
nation
as
a
whole.
S
And
so
we've
developed
a
model
for
the
colorado
economy,
which
incorporates
the
interdependence
between
the
key
economic
variables,
such
as
employment
and
personal
income,
retail
sales
and
so
on.
And
that
model
then
drives
a
model
for
the
boulder
economy
and
equations
for
bolder
use.
Tax
and
sales
tax
revenues
and
also
property
taxes
as
well
so
next
slide.
S
And
I
should
mention
that
moody's
provides
several
alternative
forecasts
or
scenarios
and
when
we
prepared
the
forecast
for
the
city
of
boulder,
although
we
normally
just
go
with
the
the
middle
range
or
baseline
forecast
that
moody's
presents
in.
In
this
case,
we
thought
that
was
a
little
too
optimistic
at
the
time
that
moody's
provided
those
scenarios
and
we
decided
to
use
a
somewhat
more
conservative
projection
at
the
national
level
to
drive
what's
going
on
in
the
state.
S
And
so
the
forecast
that
you
see
here
to
begin
with
the
the
us
economic
assumptions
here
are
based
on
this
slightly
conservative
projections
coming
from
from
moody's,
so
just
to
highlight
a
couple
of
things.
S
If
you
look
in
the
last
column,
personal
income-
and
you
can
see
that
in
the
current
year
that's
projected
to
drop
actually
a
negative
growth
in
personal
income
seems
pretty
unusual,
but
of
course
that
follows
the
really
high
growth
and
personal
income
that
came
because
of
the
tremendous
subsidies
from
the
federal
government,
both
the
trump
and
biden
administrations
in
the
the
various
huge
rescue
packages,
and
so
that
of
course,
has
has
now
passed
and
it's
consequently,
personal
income
at
the
national
level
is
actually
expected
to
decline.
S
A
little,
and
the
only
other
indicator
that
I
really
want
to
highlight
here
is
inflation
in
the
consumer
prices
column
here
so
6.1
percent
is,
is
what
was
projected
at
that
time
in
this
movie
scenario,
a
little
bit
lower
than
the
figure
that
rich
presented,
as
as
the
rate
of
inflation
year
to
year.
Up
to
this
point
in
time,
and
so
but
but
we'll
see,
actually
things
will
differ.
S
S
Also,
the
personal
income
in
2022
is
expected
to
be
to
be
growing
positively
at
2.7
percent,
so
again
an
important
difference
there,
because
personal
income
is
part
of
what
is
driving
retail
sales
and
the
various
component
of
retail
sales
that
that
are
so
key
to
the
forecasts
of
sales
tax
revenues.
S
So
you
can
see
that
there's
some
some
modest
slackening
in
2023
with
I
mean
well
with
with
retail
trade.
Actually
I
I
mean
in
comparison
to
what
was
happening
in
2021,
so
retail
trade
is
is
growing
modestly
over
these
two
years.
S
But
what
we'll
see
is
we've
been
focusing
not
on
total
retail
trade
as
a
key
driver
of
our
revenue
forecast,
but
rather
particular
components
and
you'll
see
that
that's
going
to
make
quite
a
difference.
Let's
go
to
the
next
slide,
so
here,
for
example,
these
this
shows
the
various
components
of
retail
sales
that
we
model
separately
and
forecast,
and
these
are
our
forecasted
changes.
Percent
changes
for
2022
for
the
current.
M
S
And,
of
course,
you
can
see
a
really
strong
recovery
in
restaurant
sales
growing
by
by
over
20.
Remarkably,
grocery
sales
are
still
expected
to
be
very
strong.
Now,
of
course,
a
good
portion
of
that
could
simply
be
the
increase
in
food
prices.
S
Now
remember
that
nine
percent
inflation
rate
that
we're
expecting
for
the
area
here
in
the
front
range
and-
and
so
we're
we're
all
aware
when
we
visit
the
grocery
store
that
we're
paying
considerably
higher
prices
for
for
groceries.
So
a
good
part
of
that
is
actually
inflation.
S
And
so
another
strong
component
is
building
materials.
That's
that's
pretty
remarkable
and
that's
been
strong
throughout
the
pandemic.
Another
item
that
I
think
is
really
interesting
of
growing
importance.
Is
this
marketplace:
facilitator
ordnance
sales,
so
these
are
online
sales,
often
through
amazon,
but
by
third
party
providers,
and
you
can
see-
that's
that's
grown
pretty
substantially
as
well,
and
it's
going
to
become
an
increasingly
important
piece
of
municipal
sales
tax
revenues
going
forward.
S
Let's
go
on
to
the
next
one,
so
here's
our
forecast
on
a
quarterly
basis
for
the
current
year
and
also
for
2023,
and
so
the
blue
line
presents
the
the
baseline
or
the
medium
forecast.
S
So
this,
we
could
say
would
be
our
most
likely
projection
for
what's
to
happen
over
these
two
years
and
then
we
present
a
high
and
a
low
forecast,
and
these
are
statistically
based
upper
and
lower
bounds
constructed
so
that
there's
approximately
a
33
probability
that
the
actual
outcome
could
be
higher
than
the
high
forecast
or
lower
than
the
low
forecast.
S
So
this
gives
you
some
idea
of
the
uncertainty.
That's
involved
in
forecasting,
and
particularly
these
days
when
the
economy
is
so
volatile,
and
so
you
can
see,
for
example,
that
that
the
low
forecast.
S
Is
is
considerably
lower,
in
fact,
let's
see
if
we
can
trace
back
to-
let's
say
the
jump
off
point
here
at
the
end
of
2021,
so
you
can
see
that
the
low
forecast,
which
is
not
out
of
the
question,
is
actually
lower
at
the
end
of
2023
than
it
was
at
the
beginning
of
our
forecast
period,
the
beginning
of
2022
the
current
year.
S
So
how
could
that
come
about?
Well,
that
could
happen
if
there's
a
severe
recession
or
a
downturn,
that's
more
serious
than
what
is
embodied
in
the
assumptions
behind
moody's
somewhat
conservative
projection.
So
I
always
want
to
emphasize
the
the
importance
of
keeping
amount,
keeping
in
mind
the
uncertainty
behind
these
forecasts.
I
know
that
often
our
clients
in
various
municipalities
want
to
be
conservative
in
their
budgeting,
taking
into
account
what
could
possibly
happen
here.
S
So
we
also
project
out
five
years
or
so
here
out
to
2026
and
here
again
the
same
range
of
forecasts,
a
high
medium
and
a
low
focusing
on
this,
this
medium
or
our
baseline
forecast.
S
You
can
see
the
the
flattening
that
has
occurred
here
from
2022
to
20
23,
so
the
growth
in
in
total
revenues
is
expected
to
be
a
little
a
little
more
modesty
here
than
what
it
has
been
over
the
past
year
with
a
strong
recovery.
And
then
the
growth
in
total
revenues
accelerates
a
bit
and
returns
to
a
more
normal
pattern.
S
So
this
this
five-year
projection
out
to
2026
this.
This
amounts
to
a
37
total
increase
in
total
revenues
over
this
five-year
period,
which
amounts
to
about
a
6.4
annual
rate
of
growth.
So
it's
it's,
it's
quite
strong
in
the
projection
and
it's,
but
again
with
the
caution
that
some
some
negative
indicators
could
arise,
leading
us
to
a
lower
outcome,
and
next
next
slide.
Please.
S
So
I
want
to
emphasize
that
our
forecasts
are
our
model
based
that
is,
we
don't
bring
in
ad
factors,
as
some
forecasters
will
do
adjusting
the
forecast
to
sort
of
satisfy
their
intuition
about
what
they
might
expect.
S
S
And
finally,
our
forecasts
are
updated
to
reflect
the
most
current
data,
that's
available
to
us
on
these
various
economic
indicators
and
and
next
so
I
guess
another
way
of
expressing
the
uncertainty
in
the
forecast
is
more
qualitative,
but
just
to
point
to
all
the
different
factors
that
could
lead
the
actual
outcome
to
be
higher
or
lower
than
what
is
projected
in
our
medium
forecast
and
we're
we're
all
aware
of
these.
S
These
pretty
much
so
the
on
the
on
the
positive
side,
the
green
stuff
is,
I
think,
mostly
positive,
that
there's
you
know
all
strong
wage
growth
and.
S
The
advent
of
the
the
vaccines
that
are
protecting
us
from
another
outbreak,
we
hope
and
so
on,
but
at
the
same
time
we're
well
aware
of
many
of
these
negative
aspects
of
the
economy,
and
these
could
get
worse.
The
conflict
in
ukraine,
flight
supply
chain
issues
and
so
on
and
then,
finally,
just
completely
unknown
in
terms
of
how
to
incorporate.
S
The
onset
of
another
covet
variant,
we
would
have
no
idea
as
economists,
what
the
possible
nature
of
that
new
outbreak
could
be
so
just
to
emphasize
again
we're
dealing
in
an
era
of
great
uncertainty
here
and
next.
S
Okay,
so
that's
the
end
of
our
presentation
here,
but
rich
and
brian,
and
I
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
have.
A
C
A
We
go
okay,
so
my
first
question
is:
how
do
you
these
are
mostly
questions
about
your
opinion?
How
and
we're
really
happy
to
have
such
expert
opinion
here
tonight.
It's
pretty
exciting
for
me
to
hear
to
have
this
to
have
this
information
first
question:
how
has
our
labor
shortage
affected
things
economically
here
in
colorado
and
the
fact
that
the
labor
market
is
so
tight
and
a
b
to
that
would
be?
I
don't
hear
that
much
about
how
the
tragic
copic
deaths
have
affected
our
labor
market.
A
A
You
know
what
you're
projecting
in
2023.
The
next
question
is:
is
we
have
a
nine
percent
inflation
rate?
Why
do
you
think
that
is
so
much
higher
than
rest
of
the
country?
Would
you
say
it's
housing,
the
housing
market
or
our
really
our
expensive?
You
know
business
our
supply,
our
construction
costs
or
why
do
you
think
that
is
the
next
question
is:
is
why
the
6.4
annual
rate
of
growth
that
you
had
on
one
of
your
slides?
Why
is
that?
And
lastly,
of
course,
can
I
get
this
powerpoint?
H
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
is
it
robert
you'll,
be
the
one
answering
the
questions.
S
Call
on
on
brian
and
rich
to
help
with
some
of
the
others.
So
one
question:
those
are
all
really
great
questions
and
we
can
answer
them
with
some
more
or
less
degrees
of
certainty.
S
But
one
thing
I
feel
comfortable
about
was
is
answering
your
question
of
why
2023
is
expected
to
be
weaker
economically,
and
I
think
that
this
is
a
result
of
conditions
that
are
being
that
are
in
place
today
this
year,
that
the
the
restrictions
on
monetary
policy
imposed
by
the
the
federal
reserve,
the
raising
of
interest
rates,
they're
cut
back
and
and
ceasing
to
engage
in
what
we
previously
called
quantitative
easing.
S
So
not
so
much
halting
their
purchases
of
of
assets,
which
I
think
contributed
substantially
to
the
boom
in
the
stock
market.
And
now,
of
course,
what
we're
seeing
is
with
the
cessation
of
that
lacks
monetary
policy.
S
The
stock
market
is
really
suffering
that
has
negative
consequences
for
business
expectations,
which
could
cause
them
to
cut
back
an
investment
activity
and
that
that
would
contribute
to
the
likelihood
of
a
slump
and
there's
also
sometimes
argued
to
be
a
wealth
effect
that
now
households
that
were
heavily
in
the
stock
market
don't
feel
as
as
rich
as
they
did
well
six
months
ago,
let's
say
of
course,
in
addition,
we
have
now
the
cessation
of
these
expansionary
fiscal
policies,
the
huge
rescue
packages
that
were
brought
about
in
20
and
20,
2020
and
2021,
and
of
course
that's
that
we
see
has
has
resulted
in
the
much
lower
or
even
at
the
national
level
decline
in
personal
income
and
that's
in
the
current
year,
but
there
I
think,
there's
likely
to
be
a
lag
in
the
impact
that
that
has
on
consumption
expenditures,
because
households
had
accumulated
pretty
high
savings
on
average,
where
they
were
able
to
set
aside
some
of
these
subsidies
that
were
passed
on
by
the
federal
government.
S
So
that's
that's
no
longer
in
play,
I
mean
there's,
their
savings
is
still
there
and
that's
going
to
sustain
consumption
activity
through
the
current
year,
but
probably
not
into
2023,
and
then
on
top
of
that
we
have
the
the
war
in
the
ukraine
with
the
impact
that's
having
on
all
sorts
of
supply
chain
issues.
S
Yeah,
that's,
let
me
stop
with
that
one.
I
guess
another
one.
I
I
could
talk
about
a
bit
is
why
higher
inflation,
and
for
so
so
so
far
when
you
looked
at
housing
price
increases
that
rich
showed
it
didn't.
Look
like
colorado
was
experiencing
really
high
house
price
inflation.
But
of
course
that's
colorado
as
an
average
what's
happening
in
boulder,
we
know
is
considerably
different
and
what's
happening
in
the
front
range.
S
I
think
in
general
is
also
so
different,
and
so
so
I
think
housing
could
be
contributing
to
the
relatively
higher
inflation
in
colorado.
S
I
also
think
that
our
forecast
of
colorado
inflation
coming
out
of
our
model
is
more
accurate
than
the
moody's
forecast
of
national
inflation.
I
think
the
moody's
forecast
the
national
inflation
inflation
is
too
low,
so
it's
and-
and
I
suppose
another
thing-
that's
that's
driving
our
higher
inflation
here
in
colorado
is
the
really
tight
labor
market
that
we.
S
We
have
really
high
labor
force
participation
as
rich
mentioned,
and
so
there's
not
much
opportunity
for
drawing
more
people
into
the
workforce,
and
you
know
we
so
the
consequence
is
going
to
be
higher
wages,
which
seems
like
a
good
thing
unless
we
get
that
feeding
into
higher
prices
as
well.
So
those
are
a
few
of
the
things
that
I
think
can
account
for
that.
So
let
me
ask
either
brian
or
rich
to
talk
about
your
other
two
questions.
R
I
don't
know
if
there
were
two
or
three,
so
let
me
start
with
the
easy
one.
Yes,
you
can
have
a
copy
of
the
presentation,
so
we
could
just
check
that
one
off.
Of
course,
you
can
and
we're
happy
to
share
that
with
you.
The
6.4
question
I
didn't
quite
get
that
was
number
four
and
maybe
robert
you
might
want
to
look
at
your
slide
of
what
was
being
referred
to
there,
the
housing
inflation
in
the
the
inflation
question
you
already
addressed.
R
I
definitely
think
it's
some
of
its
housing,
but
some
of
it's
like
things
like
the
medical
and
it's
being
driven
by
services,
so
the
the
hot
growth
areas
and
the
western
part
of
the
us,
it's
just
such
a
tight
labor
force
and
that
seems
to
be
driving
up.
Some
people
want
to
attribute
it
to
minimum
wage,
we're
I'm
not
in
that
vote.
Yet,
yes,
we
do
have
a
minimum
wage
and
yes
in
certain
categories,
it's
driving
it
up
wages.
R
As
you
know,
in
the
vast
majority
of
the
front
range
there's
lots
of
places
that
are
paying
above
minimum
wage,
even
lower
quote,
lower
wage
jobs
that
you
would
think
would
be
minimum
wage
or
not
minimum
wage.
So
I
I
don't
really
think
it's
the
minimum
wage
thing,
that's
driving
it
up.
I
think
it's
just
a
tightness
of
demand
on
a
lot
of
things
that
that's
really
driving
it
up.
Robert
did
a,
I
think,
a
really
nice
job
of
describing
the
drop
in
2023.
R
It's
basically
saying
that
the
fed
policy
works
and
that
the
economy
really
slows
down.
The
question
is:
does
the
economy
really
slow
down,
or
is
the
economy
going
a
recession
next
year
I
mean
that's
the
part
we
could
be
debating
if
we
want
to
debate
going
to
your
first
question,
which
I
really
liked
the
labor
shortage.
R
So
there's
a
a
myriad
of
reasons
here
and
I
don't
know
that
we've
isolated
not
just
we
but
people
who
study
this
I've
isolated
this.
We
we
have
not
seen
a
return
to
the
labor
force
at
the
same
level
in
terms
of
labor
force
participation
in
2008.
R
We
did
people's
you
know,
retirement
accounts
and
and
financial
assets
got
hit
hard.
Their
housing
prices
were
decimated
and
many
in
a
number
of
cases
they
lost
their
homes.
This
time
around
their
housing
prices
escalated.
Their
portfolios
escalated
for
a
period
of
time,
so
they
didn't
need
to
come
back
into
the
workforce
and
kovid
set
off
a
mental
thing,
at
least
in
my
mind.
I
heard
heard
this
from
my
colleagues
who
retired
like
life's
too
short,
I'm
not
going
to
live
through
this
again.
R
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna,
enjoy
my
life
while
I
can
enjoy
my
life.
But
that
said,
the
more
recent
downturn
in
the
stock
market,
I'm
in
retirement
accounts,
may
trigger
a
number
of
those
people
to
come
back
in
at
first.
It
was
also
it
was
significantly
female
participation
in
the
workforce,
but
that
has
really
reversed
the
last
five
or
six
months,
we've
seen
a
lot
of
female
return
to
the
workforce.
R
So
now
it's
mostly
the
55
and
above
people
that
we're
not.
We
are
focusing
on:
are
they
coming
back?
Are
they
not
coming
back?
The
other
interesting
thing
that
brian
has
put
together
a
nice
slide
on?
Is
people
working,
two
jobs
and
going?
R
I
know
this
doesn't
make
any
sense
to
people
listening,
but
I'm
going
to
tell
you
anyway,
one
person
working
two
jobs
is
two
jobs.
Even
though
it's
one
person
and
we've
seen
a
dramatic
drop
in
people
working
two
jobs
like
700
000
people
who
used
to
work
two
jobs
are
only
working
one
job
now.
So
that's
part
of
that
1.2
million.
Is
people
not
working
the
second
job
now,
if
that's
because
the
first
job
is
giving
them
more
hours
or
better
pay
or
whatever
that's
a
good
thing,
it's
a
good
thing
for
the
person.
R
You
know
right
so,
but
in
terms
of
the
restaurant,
the
person
that
used
to
work
at
one
restaurant
at
lunch
in
another
restaurant
at
dinner,
not
happening
right.
So
that's
where
we're.
You
know,
we've
seen
sort
of
a
lot
of
change
in
that
piece.
I
don't
know
if
brian
wants
to
embellish
it-
all
I
I
know
he's
on,
but
I
also
don't
see
him.
Oh
now
he's
coming
on
actually
going
to
see
his
face.
This
is.
S
So
I
I
could
return
to
this
6.4
question
so
that
that
number
was
mentioned
as
the
average
rate
of
growth
in
total
tax
revenues
over
the
five-year
period-
apple,
okay,
26.
and
I'm
not
sure
exactly
what
the
question
is.
But
I
I
can.
S
I
can
break
that
down
somewhat
in
terms
of
of
what's
what
are
the
components
going
into
that
so
what's
happening
in
the
current
year,
total
sales
tax
revenues
are
expected
to
increase
by
almost
11
and
that's
really
strong
sales
tax
revenues
after
that
grow
much
more
modestly,
and
so,
in
fact,
towards
the
end
of
the
period
growing
a
little
less
than
four
percent
per
year.
S
But
boulder
makes
up
for
that
in
the
years
in
which
there's
reassessment
of
property
values,
and
that
shows
up
then
as
really
strong
growth
in
property
taxes
in
the
in
the
collection
years
of
2024
and
2026.
S
And
so
I
I
don't
know
if
that's
sufficient
explanation,
but
but
that's
that's
kind
of
the
breakdown
that
contributes
to
that
average
6.4
and.
S
Right,
that's
a
good
point,
I'm
glad
you!
You
raised
that
rich,
because
that's
about
where
we
are
right.
Now
too,
I
mean,
even
though
sales
tax
revenues
in
2022
are
projected
to
grow
by
over
10.
S
But
if
inflation
is
is
9
well,
let's
say
make
it
simple:
sales
tax
revenues
are
going
to
grow
about
11
inflation's
about
9,
so.
M
R
I
I
I
know
we
have
other
questions,
so
I
don't
want
to
belabor
this,
but
you
made
a
point
of
highlighting
that
that
you
know
it's
nice
on
the
revenue
side,
but
it's
also
on
the
expenditure
side.
You
got
to
just
have
that.
You
know
the
finance
folks
and
the
council
needs
to
be
remembering
that
it's
on
both
sides
of
the
coin.
Unfortunately,.
H
All
right
well,
thank
you
for
that.
I
see
that
frozen
on
my
screen.
Thank
you
for
these
wonderful
answers
and
thank
you
for
these
questions.
Tara
and
next
we
have
mark
wallach
and
then
nicole
spear,
I
think
for
community
just
so
that
they're
clear.
Please
take
it
one
question
at
the
time
so
that
community
members
know
what
is
being
answered.
P
I
was
going
to
ask
all
of
mine
in
a
row,
but
I
will
ask
him
now
in
series
so
that
everybody
can
understand
the
first
question,
and
hopefully
these
can
be
answered
fairly.
Briefly
in
one
of
the
slides
we
showed
a
colorado
was
number
one
in
terms
of
average
hourly
wage
growth
on
a
percentage
basis,
but
only
28
in
terms
of
the
average
annual
growth,
in
terms
of,
I
guess,
annual
pay.
T
I'll
take
that
one,
so
those
are
two
different
series:
the
the
monthly
number,
where
we're
number
one
that
is
based
on
a
survey
of
businesses
and
that
data
just
came
out
representing
april
for
colorado,
the
other
for
average
annual
pay
is
a
much
more
detailed
series
that
comes
out
from
the
colorado
department
of
labor
and
employment,
and
it
represents
the
census
of
employers,
meaning
that
every
employer
has
to
submit
their
employment
and
wages
to
the
state.
T
P
Okay,
thank
you.
My
second
question
is
in
terms
of
sales
tax
growth.
We
did
all
right.
I
think
it
was
around
15
or
so
over
the
past
two
years,
but
a
couple
of
counties
had
explosive
sales.
Tax
growth
were
there
any
particular
factors
for
you
know
teller
or
el
paso
counties.
That
would
explain
that
that
and
why
they
were
so
much
greater
than
than
boulder.
R
So
el
paso
has
just
they
were
the
first
one
back
to
the
same
level
of
employment.
Now
they're
number
two
in
terms
of
their
percentage
growth
in
the
state,
but
they've
had
the
strongest
economic
growth
in
the
state.
You
know:
they've
employment,
growth,
they've
been
very
strong,
but
there's
also,
you
know
douglas
county.
You
know
castle
rock
a
lot
of
outdoor
big
boxes
and
outdoor
types
of
facilities,
so
they
were
able
to
draw
especially
early
on.
R
They
were
able
to
keep
a
lot
of
their
sales
tax
revenues
flowing
well,
while
that
was
going
on,
so
they
benefited
from
the
difference.
Those
places
different
structure
and
also
different
growth
douglas
county
continued
to
have
you
know:
housing
growth,
the
teller
area,
teller,
county
area
continued
to
have
you
know
physical
growth
of
housing
and
population
related
to
continued
development.
During
that
time.
So
brian
knows
more
about
this.
He
can
jump
in
yeah
wasn't
showing
you
live
brian.
Thank
you!
P
R
Transfer
payments,
so
that's
the
reason
you
know
that
our
forecast
and
what
robert
was
showing
was
you
know,
personal
income
declining
in
the
state
in
in
2022
and
in
our
models
the
huge
drop
off
in
you
know.
We
had
all
of
these
transfer
payment
checks
that
were
going
out
to
everybody
and
and
paychecks
protection
program,
and
so
on
other
things,
but
all
in
the
transfer
category.
R
So
the
numbers
are
accurate.
It's
not
a
mistake.
The
employment
fell,
and
you
know
brian
can
do
a
better
job
describing
this,
but
you
know
we
track
the
income
by
where
people
live,
but
employment
is
also
by
where
people
work
you
know
so
they
may
have.
They
may
be,
have
been
working
here,
but
they
live
in
a
different
place,
so
the
employment
dropped
even
but
their
income
is
being
reported
in
broomfield
county
or
you
know
northern
colorado
somewhere
with
the
transfer
payments.
F
Yeah,
so
the
data
that
you've
been
showing
us
is
really
all
focused
on
how
much
revenue
we're
going
to
get,
and
I
have
an
economic
question.
That's
you
know
related
to
the
other
side
of
that,
so
more
toward
the
expenses
that
we're
going
to
have.
There's
because
there's
another
part
of
our
budgeting
process
that
involves
anticipating
the
needs
of
our
community,
and
I
apologize.
My
dogs
are
going
to
start
working,
but
I'm
going
to
keep
going.
F
Let
me
know
if
you
need
me
to
repeat
anything
so
seeing
who
tends
to
benefit
from
our
economic
recoveries
over
the
past
couple
of
decades.
It
seems
like
it's
largely
the
people
who
are
already
doing
well.
Folks,
who
are
are
wealthy
income.
Inequality
seems
to
grow
coming
out
of
these
economic
downturns
and
already
I'm
hearing
from
people
who
are
seeing
200
to
300
increases
in
the
cost
of
their
medication
people
living
on
fixed
incomes.
F
We've
got
folks
in
our
community
who
are
experiencing
20
plus
increases
in
rent
people
who
are
trying
to
stretch
a
gallon
of
milk
to
make
it
just
one
more
week,
and
these
folks
don't
really
have
stocks
or
investments
or
savings
to
fall
back
on.
So
these
are
the
people
that
I'm
worried
about
as
we're
thinking
about
entering
into
this
budgeting
process.
So
what
can
you
tell
us
about
how
the
people
who
are
already
struggling
are
doing
and
how
they're
going
to
do
over
the
next
few
years?
R
Well
I'll
weight
in
first
and
then
we
had
a
slide
that
we've
shown
in
previous
presentations,
but
you're
absolutely
accurate.
In
terms
of
you
know,
the
transfer
payments
should
have
gone
to
those
people
and
and
did
go
to
those
people
but
went
to.
In
my
opinion,
a
lot
of
people
who
really
didn't
need
the
transfer
payments.
R
But
that
said
that
that
group,
the
lower
wage
group
of
the
population
that
was
just
getting
by,
was
hit
the
hardest
and
doesn't
necessarily
happen
every
recession
that
you
get.
That
kind
of
extreme,
like
the
high-wage
workers,
were
able
to
continue
to
work
from
home.
This
time
some
of
those
people
got
laid
off
in
the
2008
recession
and
the
2001
recession,
but
it
didn't
really
happen
this
time,
so
it
didn't.
You
know,
widen
inequality,
you're,
absolutely
correct
about
that.
R
That
group
is
very
much
in
demand
at
this
particular
point
wage
demand
and
we
have
raised
the
minimum
wage
in
the
state
and
I
think,
what's
crimping
this.
The
most
is
the
fact
that
groceries
and
housing
and
medical
care
have
just
gone
up
so
dramatically
with
this
inflation
that,
even
as
these
people
regain
employment
and
and
regain
you
know,
even
a
decent
income.
A
decent
income
is
not
making
it
anymore
in
terms
of
affordability.
R
So
when,
when
I
look
at
that,
do
I
do,
I
think
they're
not
going
to
have
opportunities?
No,
I
think
they're
going
to
have
economic
opportunities.
I
think
the
issues
on
the
other
side.
What
what
can
we
do?
That
can
help,
at
least
in
a
more
comprehensive
way,
look
at
the
expenses
that
they're
facing
the
affordability
types
of
issues
that
they're
facing,
so
I
don't
think
it's
going
to
be
because
they're,
unemployed
or
can't
get
a
decent
wage.
I
think
they
can
get
a
decent
wage.
I
think
this.
The
cost
issue
is
the
big
issue.
R
F
Thank
you
and
just
sort
of
one
one
follow-up
question.
What
I'm
hearing
from
some
folks
is
that
some
of
the
the
larger
corporations
and
and
people
are
still
seeing
really
high
record
profits,
and-
and
so
you
know,
is
it
really
that
the
costs
of
providing
services
are
going
up?
Is
it
that
you
know
people
are
just
kind
of
using
this
opportunity
to
increase
wages
or
sorry,
not
not
wages,
but
increase
the
cost
of
things
right,
because
they
can.
F
I
mean,
because
I
I
would
expect
you
know
we
would
see
generally
prices
kind
of
going
up
at
a
rate
that
would
that
we
wouldn't
be
seeing
some
of
the
profit
margins
that
that
seem
like
are
existing
right
now
and
I'm
just
sorry.
Some
some
of
this
may
not
may
be
a
little
off
topic,
but.
S
R
Yeah
I
could
yeah
so
that
may
be
true
for
some
bigger
businesses.
I
mean
we
have
this
debate
all
the
time.
I
certainly
don't
think
it's
true
for
small
businesses
right
now,
they're
struggling
just
like
the
people
you're
talking
about
are
struggling
because
wages
are
going
up.
All
of
their
cost
of
doing
business
is
going
up.
Frankly,
you
know
it
may
not
have
seen
this,
but
we
we
left
slides
out
of
the
deck.
R
If
you
look
at
business
optimism,
it
is
much
more
positive
amongst
big
business
than
it
is
among
small
business.
Small
businesses
is
actually
pessimistic
right
now
about
the
economy
and
it
has
to
deal
with
the
cost
of
doing
business
and
can't
find
workers,
and
they
can,
you
know,
can't
you
know
they
can't
they
can't
they're
they're
struggling
just
like
households
are
struggling
like
the
people
you're
talking
about
are
struggling,
so
I
don't
think
it's
a
uniform
statement.
Yes,
there
are
companies,
you
know
there
are
companies
that
are
doing
extremely
well.
R
Some
of
them
are
in
certain
industries
that
have
really
done
well,
like
you
know,
pharmaceuticals
or
whatever,
but
you
know
I'm
not,
I'm
not
dropping
it.
All
on
that
doorstep,
but
but
I
I
hear
you
I
mean
I
I
hear
what
you're
saying
I
don't
I
don't
know
what
the
easy
answer
is
to
that
question.
F
Yeah,
no,
I
appreciate
that,
because
that
sort
of
highlights
another
area
for
us
to
think
about
is
providing
support
to
our
small
businesses
and
making
sure
you
know,
as
as
we're
thinking
about
this
budget,
that
it's
not
just
the
lower
income,
households
and
the
people
who
are
kind
of
living
month
to
month
who
are
going
to
be
needing
support,
but
also
some
of
these
smaller
businesses
that
are
keeping
folks
employed
in
our
community.
R
Yeah
well
not
sounding
like
an
economic
development
person
when
I
say
this,
but
I
I
would
support
that
100
percent,
if
you're
trying
to
refill
main
street
and
as
I
was
suggesting
you
know
the
restaurants
and
the
small
businesses
that
were
used
to
more
foot
traffic
during
the
middle
of
the
day
and
now
aren't
seeing
that
during
the
middle
of
the
day
and
you're
trying
to
get
all
this
stuff
back
to
the
way
it
was
before.
R
All
of
this,
you
know
to
the
extent
that
you
know,
rents
are
going
up
in
that
area
in
those
areas
and
so
on,
even
with
the
current
environment,
and
I
I
do
think
that
area
needs
a
lot
of
care
and
we
talk
to
a
lot
of
those
people.
The
smaller
businesses,
all
all
the
time
and
and
your
staff
does
too
and
so
they're
in
touch
with
the
kinds
of
needs
those
people
have.
F
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
your
entertainingness
with
me
this
flip
side
of
how
we
spend
our
money.
Thank
you
sure.
H
Thank
you
very
much,
nicole.
Are
there
any
other
questions
from
council
now
all
right?
Well,
I
think
moving
forward.
We
still
have
another
15
minutes
presentation
coming
from
staff,
so
this
will
put
everything
into
context,
because
this
is
more
like
the
higher
looking
at
the
issue
at
the
higher
level
and
then
we're
gonna
particularize.
H
The
discussion
and
you
know,
put
it
in
the
sense
of
what's
going
on
in
our
own
community,
so
we're
moving
forward
here
with
the
cd
of
boulder's
financial
update
and
then
you
can
have
your
questions
and
then
discussion
a
little
bit
later,
and
I
just
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
also
thank
richard
robert
and
brian,
for
this
really
wonderful
discussion
and
thank
you
for
coming
by
and
we
look
forward
to
seeing
you
next
time
actually
thank
you
so
much.
Q
It
from
here,
okay,
thank
you,
juni,
and
thank
you
yes,
rich
robert
and
brian.
We
appreciate
all
that
you
share.
So
now
we
are
going
to
move
to
the
city's
financial
update.
This
is
where
we
update
council
in
the
community
on
the
city's
actual
financial
results
from
the
previous
year.
I
do
want
to
just
quick
caution
that
these
are
preliminary
results.
Q
Our
financial
audit
is
not
complete
until
next
month,
so
there's
potential
that
numbers
could
change
slightly
and
when
we
do
this,
we
typically
compare
the
previous
year,
so
that
would
be
2020
to
the
one
before
it
2020.,
but
because
2020
was
a
pandemic
year.
We're
also
going
to
compare
to
2019
as
a
pre-pandemic
reference
point,
and
in
this
update
we
also
are
going
to
really
intentionally
revisit
2020
and
that's
really
just
to
provide
the
context
for
the
decisions
that
were
made
with
regard
to
the
2021
budget.
C
C
Q
Q
We
made
reductions
in
expenditures
of
over
18
million
and
because
of
our
service
organization,
many
of
those
cuts
related
to
our
staff,
so
through
layoffs,
furloughs
and
vacancy
holds.
We
do
want
to
note
that
the
largest
number
of
impacted
staff
were
furloughs
of
what
we
call
non-standard
staff
and
those
are
our
temporary
or
seasonal
staff
that
are.
C
Q
Often
brought
in
in
the
spring
to
help
us
with
parks
and
recreation
and
open
space
and
mountain
parks,
programs
that
run
through
the
summer,
and
so
those
programs
were
not
being
provided.
So
many
of
those
staff
were
either
furloughed
or,
frankly,
never
hired.
So
that's
where
a
lot
of
those
numbers
came
in.
Q
So
that
was
a
surprise
and,
and
those
taxes
actually
fell
back
down
in
2021
and
then
the
other
thing
to
note
is
in
late
2020.
We
did
have
that
marketplace.
Facilitator
ordinance,
change
that
was
mentioned
by
robert
in
the
last
presentation,
and
so
with
that
ordinance
change
there
was
additional
revenue
that
came
in
as
a
result.
Q
So
next
slide
so
moving
on
to
2021
again,
the
budget
was
developed
that
summer
of
2020
really,
as
I
mentioned
before,
on
the
heels
of
the
2020
budget
reductions
during
a
time
of
really,
if
you
step
back
in
time
and
recall
it
was,
it
was
a
time
of
great
uncertainty.
Although
I
I
hear
that
rich
and
robert
and
brian
are
also
cautioning
continued
uncertainty,
but
there
was
certainly
tremendous
uncertainty
at
that
point
in
time.
C
Q
Had
a
very
conservative
mindset
so
with
that
the
2021
budget
was
developed,
it
was
a
342
million
dollar
budget,
which
was
a
7.6
decrease
over
the
originally
adopted
2021
2020
budget.
So
the
the
original
2020
budget
before
we
made
those
budget
cuts,
but
as
we
mentioned,
revenue
began
to
recover
mid
late
year
2020
and
it
continued
into
2021
that
trajectory
of
revenue
recovery
so
for
2021
sales,
tax
revenue
increased
nearly
20
million
or
19
compared
to
2020
and
remembering
we
were
coming
off
that
sort
of
trough
year.
Q
U
Q
Retail
all
showed
strong
recovery.
Other
revenues
that
started
to
recover
in
21
are
parking
revenues
which
were
up.
M
Q
Q
I
think
we
hear
from
our
convention
and
visitor
bureau
partners
that
you
know
business
travel
is
still
lagging
in
terms
of
recovery,
but
tourism
has
shown
some
signs
of
recovery,
so
that
was
a
3.1
million
from
2020,
but
again
still
down
from
pre-pandemic
levels
and
then
again,
we've
received
federal
support
first
in
2020
for
through
the
cares
act
and
then
in
2021
through
arba,
and
we
did
appropriate
that
four
million
dollars
so
with
revenue
recovering.
Q
Q
We
did
add
37
million
dollars
to
the
budget
and
much
more
of
that
was
ongoing
to
to
really
restore
ongoing
services
and
programs,
then,
is
typically
found
in
a
first
adjustment
to
base
and
then
again
we
had
a
special
adjustment
in
august
and
september
of
nearly
8
million,
which
was
some
general
fund
appropriation,
as
well
as
the
first
tranche
of
our
arpa
dollars
appropriation.
Q
Q
So
now
we're
going
to
take
some
time
to
walk
through
the
actual
revenues
and
expenditures
and
we're
going
to
start
with
that
base
pre-pandemic
year
and
in
2019
our
revenue
was
just
under
160
million
and
our
expenditures
were
actually
172
million.
So,
in
order
to
support
those
expenditures,
we
did
have
a
draw
of
over
13
million
dollars
from
our
fund
balances,
and
that
was
an
intentional
draw
for
priority
strategic
projects,
including
the
deconstruction
of
the
hospital
at
alpine
balsam,
as
well
as
some
additional
dollars
for
fire
station
number.
Three
project.
Q
Q
In
2021,
as
we
mentioned
before,
revenue
was
really
recovering.
So
with
that
revenue,
recovery
and
also
combined
with
expenditure
savings,
we
contributed
just
over
16
million
and
I'll
note
that
the
reason
why
we
had
expenditure
savings
largely
in
2021
goes
to
some
of
the
discussion
in
the
prior
session,
and
that
is
this
tight
labor
market.
Q
Q
So
next
we
wanted
to
talk
about
fund
balances
and
dive
deeper
into
those
draws
from
fund
balances
and
the
contributions
to
fund
balance
that
we
showed
on
the
previous
slides.
C
Q
So,
first
in
terms
of
fund
balance,
definitions
is
emergency
reserves,
and
this
has
really
been.
The
policy
focus
of
council
has
been
the
emergency
reserves
and
what
is
our
target
or
our
policy
goal
target
in
terms
of
what
percent
of
ongoing
expenditures
we
want
to
hold
in
emergency
reserves
in
order
to
meet
the
needs?
Should
we
encounter
an
emergency?
Q
That
goal
has
been
20
and-
and
there
have
been
questions
about,
how
did
we
arrive
at
that
goal
of
20?
And
we
just
want
to
remind
that.
The
government
finance
officers
association
recommends
a
best
practice
of
a
minimum
of
two
months
ongoing
expenditures.
Q
So
two
months
translates
to
16.7,
so
that
would
be
a
minimum,
but
they
also
recommend
that
each
jurisdiction
considers
its
particular
risks
and
increase
that
target
accordingly.
Q
So
some
of
the
risks
that
the
city
of
boulder
considers
when,
when
it
recommended
that
policy
goal,
was
potential
revenue
volatility
and-
and
we
saw
that
through
the
pandemic,
our
reliance
on
sales
and
use
tax
is
makes
us
susceptible
to
quite
a
lot
of
great
volatility,
vulnerability
to
extreme
events
or
disasters
such
as
flood
and
fire
of
which
we
have
seen
in
recent
years
and
reliance
upon
a
major
industry
or
employer.
Q
Q
Of
reserve
fund
balance
are
restricted
reserves
and
those
are
reserves
that
we
we
keep
based
upon
a
specific
restriction
and
need
to
use
that
revenue
for
for
a
specific
purpose
and
then
fund
balance
after
reserves
are
really
those
undesignated
funds
that
can
be
used
for
any
general
purpose.
Q
So
next
slide.
So
again,
we're
going
to
walk
through
year
by
year
on
fun
balance
history
as
well,
so
starting
with
2019
as
the
pre-pandemic
reference
point.
Emergency
reserves
are
in
blue,
restricted
in
green
and
fun
balance
after
reserves.
In
pink,
we
ended
2019
with
emergency
reserves
at
19
or
25.6
million.
We
held
restricted
reserves
and
our
fund
balance
after
reserves
was
just
over
10
million,
and
I
will
note
that
that
10
million
is
after
that
13.4
million
dollar
draw,
as
I
mentioned
before,
2020
revised.
Q
This
is
what
we
expected
in
the
middle
of
2020
early
in
the
pandemic,
when
we
were
making
budget
reductions
and
what
we
expected
was
that
we
would
exhaust
all
of
our
fund
balance
after
reserves
that
that
would
get
entirely
spent
down
in
order
to
help
us
meet
our
expenditures
and
that
we
would
tap
in
to
our
emergency
reserves
and
bring
that
down
to
16.7.
Q
C
Q
This
is
what
we
expected
this
next
bar
is
what
actually
happened
and,
as
we
noted
earlier,
because
revenue
began
to
recover
in
2020
and
because
those
use
taxes
came
in
unexpectedly
high.
M
Q
Q
We
are
again
looking
to
keep
our
emergency
reserves
at
the
19.5
level
and,
as
shown
on
the
previous
slide,
we
do
anticipate.
We
may
be
drawing
down
some
of
that
fund
balance
after
reserves,
but
that
will
be,
of
course
influenced
by
if
we
have
expenditure
savings
that
may
be
minimized.
Q
And
the
last
thing
we
wanted
to
just
sort
of
share
for
discussion
point
with
regard
to
fund
balances
is
the
emergency
reserve
level.
As
I
mentioned
earlier,
it
has
been
a
policy
goal
to
achieve
the
20
of
ongoing
expenditure
level
if
we
were
to
move
to
that,
there's
a
one-time
sort
of
expense
of
setting
that
those
dollars
aside
into
those
emergency
reserves
of
approximately
nine
hundred
thousand
and
then
once
we
got
to
that
twenty
percent
level.
Q
If
we
wanted
to
maintain
that
there's
always
an
incremental
cost
of
doing
so,
based
upon
how
our
ongoing
expenditure
budget
increases.
S
Q
Just
wanted
to
mention
that
and
then
also
that
use
of
the
fund
balance
after
reserves
again
reiterating
that
the
best
practice
is
to
use
that
for
one-time
uses,
that
we
did
appropriate
some
in
atv
one
and
then,
as
we
consider
the
2023
budget
and
building
the
recommended
budget,
we
will
consider
that
availability
in
terms
of
high
priority
strategic
needs
and
how
that
might
best
be
used.
M
V
Thanks
cara
good
evening,
council
mark
wolf
senior
budget
manager,
we're
better
in
budget
projections
than
we
are
in
presentation
time
projections,
so
I'm
gonna
try
to
make
up
make
up
some
time.
V
Our
revised
2022
retail
sales
tax
revenues
are
projected
to
exceed
budget,
but
anywhere
from
three
and
a
half
to
about
eight
million
and
projected
in
23
anywhere
from
eight
and
a
half
to
almost
14..
That
depends
on
how
well
one
it
plays
out.
Actually
our
projections
are
based
off
of
cu's
model,
and
so
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
implications
of
looking
at
a
more
aggressive
somewhere
closer
to
that
medium
bar
and
just
for
reference.
V
If
you
remember
the
the
high
bar
and
the
low
bar
that
were
showed
earlier,
we
have
been
budgeting
at
the
average
of
the
medium
and
low
for
retail
sales
tax,
and
so
I
think
it
and
we've
been
performing
well.
So
we'll
talk
about
that
in
a
moment
in
looking
ahead
to
property,
tax,
22
and
22
property
tax
collections
are
on
track
to
budget.
V
There
are
some
things
to
note:
senate
bill,
21-293,
temporary
temporarily
reduced
residential
assessments
or
assessment
rates,
but
our
projections
in
a
non-assessment
year
so
going
into
23,
would
be
a
non-assessment
year.
We
typically
forecast
about
a
2
increase
in
property
tax
collections,
we're
anticipating
that
to
be
closer
to
0.5
percent
year-over-year
because
of
that
reduction
in
residential
assessment
rates.
That
impact
will
extend
out
an
additional
year
into
2024.,
we'll
feel
that
impact
less
due
to
the
reassessment
year.
V
V
Some
other
major
revenue
categories.
To
note
cara
spent
a
moment
talking
about
accommodations
tax.
The
cbb
is
doing
an
updated
model
this
summer
that
we'll
be
looking
at
with
them.
Currently
we're
looking
at
about
a
seven
million
dollar
projection
for
2022,
which
is
up
about
nine
percent
over
21
actuals
occupancy
is
currently
up
13
year-over-year,
which
is
good,
but
that
is
still
down
from
pre-pandemic
levels.
V
Obviously,
some
of
the
headwinds
with
consumer
pessimism
as
it
relates
to
inflation
and
travel
expenditures,
is
something
that
we're
watching
there
and
so
we'll
be
watching
occupancy
closely
over
the
summer
and
then
other
taxes.
Just
to
note
business
use.
Tax
marijuana
attacks
are
down
from
our
original
projections.
V
Those
will
be
reflected
as
we
go
into
22
and
23
projections
and
construction
use
taxes
up
a
million
dollars
year
over
year.
But
just
to
note
that
is
a
very
volatile.
We
don't
can't
predict
well,
when
construction
use
tax
will
come
in
a
deeper
dive
into
retail
sales
tax
for
a
moment
again,
just
trying
to
break
it
down.
V
Here's
the
dip
that
we're
well
aware
of.
I
just
want
to
point
out
what
this
chart
does
show.
So
we've
talked
talked
a
lot
about
the
general
fund
and
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
general
fund.
That
is
the
biggest
bar
there,
but
other
funds
do
rely
heavily
on
retail
sales
tax,
including
open
space
transportation.
V
Our
ccrs
renewal
is
in
there
and
yellow,
and
then
our
25
cent
parks
and
rec
fund
as
well
and
then,
as
we've
talked
about
our
actuals
and
21,
were
very
strong
and
we'll
note
that
the
21
actuals
that
actually
came
in
above
our
original
22
budget
projections.
So
in
looking
ahead.
Our
revisions
for
2022
is
that
we
expect
to
to
realize
that
kind
of
medium
level
of
projection
growth
in
retail
sales
tax
in
22
and
then
in
23.
V
V
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
invest
the
dollars
that
we
reasonably
think
are
coming
in,
and
so
our
risk
tolerance
will
will
impact
our
budget
development
and
how
much
one-time
funds
we
believe
are
available
going
into
both
adjustments
further
adjustments
this
year,
if
needed,
and
then
the
23
budget.
V
We
did
add
more
ongoing
costs
in
this
atb
as
well
than
we
normally
do
again
to
continue
to
restore
service
and
then,
as
kara
mentioned,
we'll
be
considering
the
use
of
that
fund
balance
after
reserve
for
those
strategic
one-time
uses
and
for
the
23
budget
process.
New
or
continued
investments,
we'd
really
love
to
consider
in
the
proper
context
with
prioritization,
and
so
this
gets
at
the
some
of
the
we'd
call
it
a
challenge
that
council
issued
to
us.
V
I
think
at
the
end
of
the
last
budget
process,
which
was
hey,
you
did
a
great
job,
but
we'd
love
a
little
bit
more
strategic
process.
We'd
love
a
little
bit
more
transparency
and
involvement
with
the
community,
and
so
what
we've
really
worked
on
since
that
time?
Is
this?
What
we're
calling
an
outcome-based
approach?
How
do
we
reflect
our
investments
in
terms
of
our
intended
outcomes
and
how?
What
might
we
measure
that?
V
So
that's
a
segue
into
talking
about
some
of
these
process
improvements
and
we'll
introduce
a
new
budgeting
tool
this
year
called
opengov
brief
history.
For
those
that
don't
know
the
city
did
receive
a
grant
from
dola
in
2018
to
improve
resilience
through
budgeting
long
story
short
for
time.
We
had
a
report,
we
didn't
implement
all
the
elements
because
of
kovid.
V
V
V
We
have
made
decisions
at
the
margins
and
that's
what
I
mean
by
that
is
that,
as
we've
considered,
the
budget
we've
considered
the
budget
at
the
request
level.
So
we've
just
seen
that
increment
of
extra
dollars.
We
need
to
do
something
right
without
considering
the
the
big
picture
at
all
times,
and
outcomes
in
in
budgeting
are
mutually
exclusive
in
in
the
current
state.
I
would
say
previous
state
now,
because
it
feels
like
we're
so
far
into
this
process.
V
Already
we
had
some
data
to
support
our
decisions,
and
certainly
that
came
up
in
certain
conversations,
but
it
wasn't
consistent
right
and
so
what
does
the
future
look
like?
In
in
this
new
budgeting
environment
that
will
be
oriented
around
programs
and
I'll
clarify
that
a
little
bit,
what
I
mean
by
programs
is
making
sure
that
our
investments
are
aligned
to
categories
or
service
categories
or
projects
that
can
be
easily
understood
by
the
community.
V
V
So
with
program
budgeting,
we
simply
aligned
our
existing
activities,
our
2022
budget
to
programs
that
are
aligned
with
citywide
goals,
with
an
emphasis,
a
continued
emphasis
on
equity
within
our
program
goals,
and
that
we're
setting
the
stage
for
being
able
to
to
apply
city-wide
key
performance
indicators
to
our
outcomes
and
have
that
be
a
part
of
our
measurement
going
forward.
V
And
so
what
you'll
see
that's
different
in
in
this
program.
Alignment
is
that
budget
proposal,
so
the
deadline
for
departments
was
last
friday
to
submit
to
central
finance,
so
we're
already
in
the
middle
of
the
23
budget
process.
Internally.
V
Those
proposals
are
coming
in
at
that
at
that
program
level,
so
we're
getting
a
higher
level
view
of
what
an
increased
investment
or
a
realignment
might
look
like
and
what
those
intended
outcomes
are
within
that
proposal.
That's
the
type
of
information
that
council
will
see
in
the
recommended
budget.
That's
in
a
little
bit
different
terms
than
we've
seen
before,
and
that
we
hope
that
we're
moving
towards
that
that
bigger
picture
of
of
how
we
intend
to
not
only
use
our
investments
but
how
we
might
measure
them
in
the
future.
V
This
is
not
a
one-year
project,
we'd
love
to
be
at
the
point
where
this
year
we're
saying
hey
this,
this
kpi.
This
measurement
tells
us
that
we
need
to
invest
x
in
order
to
get
to
where
we
want
to
go
that
that's
going
to
be
about
a
three
year
process.
We
think
so,
starting
with
this
change,
starting
with
a
new
tool,
implementation
and
beginning
to
articulate
our
outcomes
will
be
a
major
step
forward.
V
V
So
what
we've
done
to
facilitate
a
lot
of
these
process?
Improvements
is
engaged
with
opengov
opengov
is
a
cloud-based
21st
century
solution.
I
like
to
call
it
they
have
many
municipal
clients.
They
have
been
awesome
to
work
with
over
the
last
several
months.
Budgeting
within
opengov
does
a
few
things
for
us.
It's
much
more
approachable
at
the
staff
level
provides
us
with
a
lot
better
information,
or
at
least
more
real-time
information
to
build
our
budgets.
V
Actuals
reporting
is
a
lot
easier,
both
internally
and
publicly,
and
I
think
some
of
the
most
exciting
things
for
the
community
is
we'll
be
producing
the
budget
book
entirely
online
in
a
much
easier
environment
to
navigate
there's
a
transparency
portal,
that's
opengov's
term.
Basically
we're
able
to
produce
real-time
financial
information
and
budget
information
into
one
report
portal
that
you're
able
to
go
in
and
navigate,
and
then
there
is
language
accessibility
within
the
website
embedded
within
the
website.
V
So
I'm
gonna
just
pull
out
of
this.
If
you
bear
with
me
for
one
second
and
I
will
pull
up
open
gov
just
so,
you
have
a
chance
to
see
that
and
then
I
promise
we're
done
with
the
presentation.
V
Okay,
you
seeing
that
all
right-
okay,
great,
so
this
is
a
report
environment.
This
is
going
to
be
very
similar
to
the
transparency
portal
that
the
community
will
eventually
have
access
to.
What
you're
seeing
in
this
environment
is
an
example
of
our
2021
revised
budget
in
this
column
against
our
21
actuals.
V
What
you're
seeing
is
our
operating
program
information,
so
this
is
our
program
orientation
organized
by
our
sustainability,
equity,
resilience
goal
area,
so
what
you'll
be
able
to
do
is
click
in.
Let's
say
you
wanted
a
little
bit
more
information
about
what
programs
are
within
this
particular
program
area,
and
you
were
interested
in
one
of
these
programs.
Specifically,
you
could
click
in
and
get
more
information
that
drills
down
to
that
level,
and
then
you
have
more
specific
budget
information
below
right.
V
If
you
wanted
to
break
that
down
in
a
different
way
and
see
this
instead
of
at
the
program
level
and
see
it
more
traditionally
at
a
department
level,
you
can
navigate
that
way
as
well.
So
I
think
there
will
be
some
learning
we're
happy
to
put
out
a
little
tutorial
or
something
to
help
with
navigation.
Once
this
transparency
portal
is
available,
but
as
you
can
see,
it's
a
lot
better,
more
useful
information
than
we
currently
have
access
to
and
then
in
terms
of
the
online
budget
book.
V
H
Thank
you
so
much
for
this
really
great
presentation,
and
we
have
many
hints
that
are
up,
and
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
we
have
gone
over
time
a
little
bit.
So
please
keep
your
questions
tight,
so
that
we
can
get
done
by
10
o'clock.
Hopefully
tonight,
thank
you
and
I
think
our
first
hands
up
is
bob
yates.
N
Thanks
carl
thanks
mark
that
was
really
great
presentation.
We
appreciate
that
mark.
You
may
have
mentioned
this.
You
went
really
fast
there,
and
so
I
may
have
missed
something
on
the
outcome
based
a
budgeting.
I
know
that
in
year,
two
you're
planning
to
to
identify
key
performance
and
indicators
or
kpis.
N
What's
the
plan
for
community
engagement
around
that
because,
like
different
community
members,
are
probably
going
to
prioritize
different
performance
indicators
and
have
opinions
about
that?
What's
the
community
engagement
element
of
that
kpi
identifier.
V
Yeah,
that's
a
really
good
question
bob
I
didn't
mention
community
engagement.
I
don't
think
it's
something
that
we
have
mapped
out
for
year.
Two
specifically,
some
of
it
relates
to
updating
our
sustainability,
equity
and
resilience
framework.
I
know
that
is
something
that
we're
in
the
final
stages
of
and
chris
messchuck
may
want
to
expand
on
that
in
terms
of
citywide
kpis.
V
I
think
sometimes
for
that
the
perfect
can
be
the
enemy,
the
good,
and
so
I
think
it's
we're
getting
a
good
indication
where
we're
at
right
now,
which
is
all
over
the
place
in
terms
of
how
we
measure
some
of
these
programs,
which
is
expected
and
so
it'll
help
us
develop
how
we
support
our
departments
moving
over
the
next
year
in
in
the
best
way
to
to
to
move
towards
either
developing
city-wide
kpis,
developing
them
at
the
program
level,
whatever
we
think
makes
sense
from
a
performance
standpoint.
D
Yeah
mark
and
carl
thanks
so
much
for
all
that
great
information
and
all
the
amazing
work
you
do
to
keep
our
city
finances
in
great
shape.
My
question
is,
is
not
for
tonight,
but
a
request
to
get
back
to
us.
With
some
information
mark.
You
talked
about
how
property
tax
assessments
were
going
down
slightly
because
of
the
house
bill.
D
It
was
21
293
that
was
passed
last
year,
and
then
I
know
that
the
governor
just
recently
signed
into
law
22
238,
which
also
reduced
assessed
values,
but
my
understanding
is
that
one
also
includes
a
backfill
to
organize
to
entities
that
are
they're
collecting
fewer
taxes
and
the
state's
been
compensating
for
some
or
all
of
it,
and
so
my
request
would
be
some
time
before
too
long
to
get
back
to
us
with
an
analysis
of
exactly
how
those
two
bills
are
going
to
affect
property
tax
collections
for
the
city
over
the
next,
I
think,
maybe
two
to
three
years
and
then
also
how
it
affects
will
affect
residents,
because
I
know
this
is
of
course
something
of
great
interest
to
our
residents
is
how
their
property
taxes
will
be
changing.
D
So
if
we
could
get
like
a
one
pager
on
what
this
will
do
to
city
collections
and
also
what
it
will
do
to
a
typical
small
business
and
homeowner,
that
would
be
much
appreciated.
I
know
that's
not
a
trivial
thing
to
put
together,
but
I
think
it'd
be
really
informative.
So,
if
you're
able
to
do
that
in
the
next
few
weeks,
they'll
be
really
really
helpful.
V
Yeah,
I
think
so.
We've
just
glanced
at
the
impact
and
some
of
the
analysis
that
have
come
out
from
the
state,
but
I
think
we'd
be
able
to
put
something
like
that
together.
D
Fantastic
thanks
so
much
and
then
just
my
one
other
comment
is:
I
really
appreciated
the
detailed
analysis
of
how
the
fund
balance
was
changing
and
how
it
was
being
used.
D
Bob
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
I
don't
remember
this
kind
of
analysis
and
it's
really
welcome
to
see
exactly
how
that's
changing
and
how
it's
being
deployed
to
to
assist
people
in
the
community
so
huge
thanks
for
that
and
appreciate
it
and
please
keep
it
up
and
and
then
also
looking
forward
to
that
open
gov
platform
that
looks
like
an
extremely
promising
development.
So
thanks
for
pursuing
that
as
well,
that's
all
we
got.
H
Thank
you,
aaron
mark
you're
on.
P
Yeah
just
a
couple
of
questions
and
and
it's
related
to
terminology
which
may
be
obscure
to
the
community,
but
it's
certainly
a
little
obscure
to
me
and
the
staff
memo.
There
was
reference
to
the
general
funds
budget,
the
all
funds
budget,
the
capital
budget,
the
operating
budget.
When
we
refer
to
the
budget
which
budget
are
we
referring
to.
P
B
P
Q
Mark,
I
don't
know,
I
can
go
ahead-
that
all
funds
budget-
you
know,
because
we
are
a
government
and
we
have
fund
accounting.
We
have,
I
think,
42
different
funds,
and
so
the
all
funds
budget
is
the
budget
of
all
of
those
different
funds,
summed
in
total
and
then.
C
Q
That
total
budget
we
have
operating
budgets,
which
are
you
know,
programs
and
services.
It's
largely
personnel
with
some
operating
expenses
to
support
them,
and
then
we
have
capital
budgets
which
are
our
you
know:
capital
infrastructure,
investments
that
are
done
over
a
six-year
planning
horizon
and
each
of
those
different
42
funds
has
a
different
funding
source.
Q
Q
So
those
many
of
those
other
42
funds
are
special
revenue,
funds
or
enterprise
funds,
and
so
the
the
revenues
must
be
used
for
specific
purposes.
So,
for
example,
open
space
and
mountain
parks
fund
is
supported
by
a
sales
tax,
but
it
is
dedicated
to
that
purpose.
So
it
can
only
be
used
for
that
purpose,
and
the
utilities
fund
is
an
enterprise
fund
and
it's
it
generates
its
revenue
through
its
rates
and
charges.
That
can
only
be
used
to
support
the
operations
of
the
utilities.
Q
A
huge
part
of
it
is
the
utilities,
so
that's
a
large
part
of
the
all
funds
budget
is
the
utilities
function.
My.
P
Q
So
your
fund
balances
at
the
end
of
the
year.
Basically,
all
of
your
over
time,
your
how
your
revenues
have
exceeded
your
expenses.
So
it's
like
your
savings
account
and
then
of
that
savings.
We
have
some
specifically
set
aside
for
emergencies
in
the
emergency
reserve.
We
have
some
specifically
set
aside
for
other
restricted
purposes
and
then
the
ending
fund
balance
after
reserves
is
that
amount
that's
left
over.
It
can
be
used
for
any
purpose.
H
Thank
you
mark
just
a
reminder,
gentle
reminder,
fellow
council
members.
Please
keep
your
questions
short
and
tight.
We
only
have
about
90
minutes
for
about
a
hund,
120
minutes
worth
of
presentation
and
in
question.
So
our
next
person
is
matt
matt.
Benjamin.
E
Thanks
junie
kara
mark,
I
really
appreciate
the
detail:
it's
nice
sort
of
as
a
new
council
person
to
get
that
that
that
depth,
and
certainly
that
open
gov
platform
is
really
going
to
open
things
up
and
allow
us
to
dive
in
a
little
better
and
gain
better
understanding.
So
I
appreciate
the
hard
work
to
get
us
to
that
place.
E
Given
how
we
sort
of
set
that
policy
of
using
it
in
an
emergency
and
the
pandemic,
I
could
only
define
as
the
ultimate
emergency
for
our
community.
So,
if
not
that
emergency,
what
emergency
were
we
waiting
on?
Maybe
floods,
maybe
fire,
but
I
guess
my
policy
concern
and
then
how
we
affected
in
budgeting
is.
E
Is
it
the
second
emergency
that
we
really
tap
into
the
reserves
or
the
third
emergency,
because
the
first
emergency
came
and
we
didn't
tap
it
and
my
and
we're
reaping
some
of
the
consequences
of
that
with
still
get
slow
to
the
uptick
of
hiring
back
staff
holding
on
to
those
staff,
I
think
of
some
of
our
local
businesses.
Many
of
those
communities
that
disproportionately
suffered
during
the
pandemic.
E
We
could
have
used
those
reserves
to
really
lift
up
and
support
our
community
and
and
we
were
holding
on
to
them,
and
so
I
guess
my
my
real
question
is:
can
we
is
there?
Is
there
policy
tweaks
we
can
do
to
our
financial
strategy
so
that
when
we're
in
this
situation,
our
policy
demands
more
that
we
tap
those
reserves
for
the
emergency,
we're
in
and
address
the
current
emergency
rather
than
holding
on
to
them,
for
perhaps
a
secondary
or
tertiary
emergency.
Q
Okay,
I
guess
I
would
just
reiterate
that
we
did
believe
we
were
going
to
tap
into
emergency
reserves.
So
you
know
we
were
making
decisions
quickly
on
the
heels
of
where
our
revenue
was
falling
significantly
and
something
that
was
really
unprecedented,
and
we
didn't
have
a
lot
of
history
to
rely
upon
them
in.
S
S
Q
Believe
we
were
going
to
tap
into
reserves
and
and
there's
a
lag
to
revenue
collection,
and
so
it's
just
sort
of
one
of
the
realities
of
public
finance.
I
think,
is
that
you
are
making
decisions
based
upon
some
expectations
that
aren't
very
uncertain,
and
so
I
think
I
also
I
would
say
from
from
a
budget
standpoint
having
been
part
of
those
decisions
we
felt
like
it
was
better
to
make
some
reductions.
It's
really
hard
on
an
organization
to
have
to
be
continually
cuttings
like
cut
and
then
realize
we
didn't
cut
enough
and.
O
In
cara,
if
I
can
add
just
a
little
bit
more
to
that,
because
I
I
100
agree-
and
I
think
if
we,
if
we
think
back
to
2020
and
the
world
kind
of
shut
down
in
in
march,
and
for
that
first
month,
we
we
tried
to
kind
of
keep
operations
as
normal
and
then
realize
that
isn't
going
to
work.
When
so
much
of
our
our
services
were
completely
closed.
O
And
so
that's
when
we
moved
into
kind
of
furloughs
and
then
another
month
went
by
and
we
were
in
may
and
and
beginning
into
june,
and
it
was
very
clear
that
what
we
weren't
sure
what
was
going
to
happen
and
how
long
this
was
going
to
last.
It
became
very
clear
that
this
isn't
going
away
anytime
soon,
and
so
that
was
in
june,
when
we
made
the
significant
budget
cuts
to
the
to
the
city's
budget
and
and
when
cara
presented
that
the
2020
revised.
O
That's
where
we
thought
we
would
be,
even
after
those
significant
budget
cuts
that
we
made
and
if
you
think,
of
the
chart
from
rich
and
and
robert's
presentations
of
how
steep
those
declines
were
happening.
We
really
responded.
O
Recognizing
that
this
wasn't
going
to
be
a
shock
to
the
system
and
then
a
quick
recovery,
it
was
going
to
be
sustained
for
a
while
and
then,
as
as
we
presented,
the
the
year
turned
out
better
the
economy
started
to
you
know
people
figured
out
ways
to
still
get
food.
O
O
I
really
do
think
about
emergency
reserves
as
those
significant
shocks
to
to
our
system,
so
fires
and
floods
and
those
ones
where
you
you?
It
happens
so
fast
and
then
you're
quickly
into
recovery.
I
think
about
our
neighboring
communities
in
the
2013
flood.
Even
ourselves.
O
We
spent
significant
millions
of
dollars
in
a
matter
of
months,
and
some
of
our
neighboring
communities
were
literally
transferring
money
between
funds
to
make
payroll,
and
so
it's
really
important
that
we
have
appropriate
reserves
for
those
kind
of
shock
emergencies,
and
I
think
covid
was
both
a
shock
and
then
very
quickly
turned
into
something
that
was
much
longer
than
a
shock
and
that's
why
we
made
kind
of
long-term
budget
adjustments
in
that
way.
So,
hopefully,
maybe
that's
helpful
as
some
thoughts
on
that.
E
Well,
I
appreciate
that
kara
and
chris,
and
I
don't
spend
too
much
time.
I
think
it's
it's
a
conversation
for
us
to
probably
keep
having
on
on
how
we
do
that.
I
just
you
know
we.
We
barely
touched
three
percent
of
our
reserves
in
that
time
in
our
emergency
reserve.
So
you
know
if
it's
a
you
know
10-year
event
at
three
percent
right.
It's
still
only
30
of
your
total
reserves.
You
tap
at
that
rate,
so
I
think
in
in
general
I
I
yeah.
E
We
don't
need
to
dive
too
deep,
but
I
do
think
that
that
was
a
good
lesson
learned
and,
I
would
say:
cove.
It
was
a
shock
to
the
system,
it's
as
an
emergency,
as
we've
ever
seen,
and
so
I
just
hope
that
that's
a
good
lesson
that
going
forward
we
can
dip
into
that
to
really
help
our
community
and
on
the
recovery
side
which
we're
at
now
we're
still
paying
for
that
a
little
bit.
So
I
hope
we
can.
We
can
take
that
forward.
H
Thank
you.
Matt
mark
has
a
quick
follow-up
to
matt's
comment
or
question
yeah.
P
Yeah,
thank
you.
Juni
will
remember
this
because
she
sat
in
the
financial
strategies
committee
meetings.
At
the
time
we
were
in
terra
incognita.
We
had
no
idea
what
we
were
dealing
with,
how
severe
it
was
going
to
be
how
long
it
was
going
to
last
what
the
ultimate
impacts
were
going
to
be
for
this
community.
So
we
were
hanging
on
to
our
reserves
in
the
possible
anticipation
that
we
were
going
to
be
in
a
situation
far
worse
than
we
actually
experienced.
P
It
was
a
very
frightening
time
and
we
were
making
very,
very
difficult
decisions
that
we
brought
to
council,
but
it
was.
It
was
a
a
scary
moment
in
time
and
that's
why
we
were
very
reluctant
to
deploy
reserves
without
knowing
where
the
contours
of
this
this
pandemic
were
going
to
lead
us.
I
guess
the
short
answer
is
you
had
to
be
there?
It
was.
It
was
very
difficult.
J
Want
to
sort
of
agree
with
that
and
be
cautious
about
kind
of
monday
morning,
quarterbacking
jane
our
former
city
manager's
decisions
about
the
reserves.
J
I
think
we
all
anticipated
that
that
they
would
likely
be
tapped
more
than
they
were
and
when
we
were,
you
know
when
she
was
doing
furloughs
and
such
I
think
there
was
any
idea
that
we
were
going
to
get
so
much
federal
funds
and
and
sort
of
a
cavalry
arriving,
so
that
did
arrive
and-
and
it
was
crucial-
and
so
I
just
think
that
that
it
was,
it
was
a
huge
unknown,
and
you
know
we
didn't
know,
people
were
gonna
start.
You
know
just
dropping
like
flies
health-wise,
and
so
I
mean
it
was.
J
A
Right
real
quick
is:
we
have
two
things
that
people
didn't
mention.
First
of
all,
how
important
it
is
for
our
city
to
have
you
know
the
bond,
the
bond
rating,
and
the
second
thing
is,
is
what
if
we
would
have
had
a
trifecta
meaning
not
only
covid,
but
also
could
you
imagine,
floods
and
fire
and
being
what
it's
like
these
days
today?
That's
not
so
hard
to
imagine.
So
I
really
understand
what
chris
and
cara
are
saying
about
just
realizing.
J
Thank
you
really
quickly,
not
minimize
the
people
did
drop
like
flies
like
we
lost
so
many
community
members,
and
I
don't
want
to
be
cavalier
about
how
many
people
were
impacted
by
covet.
So
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
thanks.
F
That's
okay.
Thank
you.
I
have
what
I
hope
are
two
quick
questions,
but
first
I
just
want
to
say
kara
and
mark.
Thank
you
so
much.
I
am
so
excited
about
opengov
and
all
the
work
that
you
all
are
doing.
It's
it's
just
really
really
remarkable,
and
I
know
how
much
has
gone
into
this
and
I
know
how
much
you
have
left.
So.
Thank
you.
F
One
question
I
have
is
it:
you
know
it
looks
like,
except
for
the
pandemic
years,
which
were
a
little
odd,
that
we
maybe
have
a
pattern
of
underestimating
our
revenue
and
overestimating
our
expenses
so
that
we're
kind
of
consistently
ending
a
little
higher
than
we
expect.
And
I
was
just
wondering
if
you
look
out
over
the
last
decade
or
two
do
we
have
any
significant
trends?
And
I
know
you,
you
won't
have
the
answers
to
that
right
now.
F
But
it's
just
a
question
that
I
have,
as
you
know,
we
think
about
our
risk
level
and
things-
and
I
know
I
mentioned
that
to
you
in
the
strategies
committee
meeting
as
well
and
then
my
other
question,
and
this
is
just
a
clarification
question
about
opengov
and
what
it's
going
to
allow
us
to
do
and
the
work
that
you
all
are
doing.
F
As
I
understand
it,
you're
working
toward
a
place
where
we'll
be
able
to
budget
by
programs
that
cross
multiple
departments
so
that
people
from
the
community
can
kind
of
say
they
want
to
know
how
much
money
we
spend
on
homelessness
services
or
something
like
that.
They'll
be
able
to
put
that
in
and
find
that
out.
V
Yeah
thanks
nicole,
so
to
answer
that
question
I
we
are
moving
towards.
I
think
programs
across
departments
I
think,
for
this
first
year,
we'll
still
be
oriented
at
the
program
level
by
department.
For
the
most
part,
there
will
be
exceptions
to
that.
However,
there's
capability
in
opengov
to
have
what
are
called
stories
essentially
it'll.
Look
like
a
web
page
that
will
be
able
to
highlight
certain
whether
they're,
council,
priorities
or
community
goals
or
certain
areas
of
importance
we
could
call
them
budget
highlights
some
of
that.
V
We
talked
a
lot
about
the
uncertainty,
we're
pulling
together
that
information,
and
it
will
be
one
of
those
key
assumptions
that
we
revisit
with
council.
Hopefully,
with
the
information
that
you're
asking
for
when
we
present
the
23
recommended
budget.
F
Great,
thank
you,
and
just
one
one,
quick
follow-up:
when
do
you
anticipate
having
open
gov
at
sort
of
the
level
of
functionality
you
want
to
move
toward
where
we
have
budgeting
by
programs
and
that
sort
of
thing
yeah.
V
Yeah
I've
been
saying
that
it's
a
three-year
project
to
really
get
the
measurement
piece
of
it
and
I
think,
to
have
more
of
those
cross
departmental
programs
in
terms
of
the
information
availability,
though,
because
that's
more
of
like
how
we
organize
and
are
able
to
do
some
deeper
analysis
across
departments.
The
information
will
be
there
this
year,
and
so
we
anticipate
when
we
release
the
recommended
budget,
which
will
be
in
that
beginning
of
august
window-ish.
V
I
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
quick
shout
out.
I
really
appreciate
this
updated
budget
process
improvements.
H
Thank
you.
Thank
you
lauren.
I
just
want
to
make
a
quick
question,
a
quick
comment.
I
am
very
proud
of
being
on
council
with
all
of
you.
I
really
thank
the
city
manager
for
the
work
that
she's
doing
on
transparency
and
sustainability
and
resiliency
through
this
open
gov
portal,
and
thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
you
know.
The
financial
strategy
team
at
the
city
is
doing
so.
Thank
you
for
all
the
great
work
that
you're
doing
so
now.
Is
there
any
other
questions
from
comments
anything
else
or
forever
hold
your
peace
from
council?
H
Okay,
nothing
else.
This
is
great.
Thank
you
and
I
just
want
to
make
a
comment
before
we
move
to
the
next
step.
We
definitely
will
go
over
10,
10
30
and
my
my
hope
is
that
around
10
30
we
can
revisit
and
maybe
take
a
vote
to
see
if
we
all
want
to
keep
pushing
through
tonight.
H
So
the
next
part
of
our
conversation
will
be
the
guaranteed
income
section,
which
I'm
sure
will
rally
a
lot
of
discussion
from
council
members,
but
please
just
keep
it
brief,
but
I
enjoy
your
conversation
and
so
probably
the
rest
of
the
community.
So
please
take
it
over
from
here.
Chris.
O
Great
thanks,
juni
and
as
we
transition
thanks
again
to
cara
and
mark
for
their
leadership
and
our
entire
budget
team
too,
across
the
city.
So
with
that
I'm
gonna
hand
it
over
first
to
kurt
and
he'll,
introduce
the
team
as
well
so
kurt.
Take
it
away.
X
Thank
you
and
good
evening,
council,
kirk,
fernhower,
director
of
housing
and
human
services
and
the
guaranteed
income
discussion
that
you're
going
to
have
tonight
actually
started,
probably
three
or
four
years
ago,
as
a
topic
which,
within
housing
and
human
services,
and
something
that
we
were
exploring.
X
It
became
more
of
a
possibility
when
arpa
funds
became
available
and
it's
well.
Elizabeth
crowe
has
been
spearheading
that
it's
a
real
it's
a
real
team
approach,
both
from
individuals
within
our
department
and
also
other
departments
as
well,
and
so
I'd
also
like
to
introduce
for
for
the
first
time,
elizabeth
crowe
in
her
position
as
deputy
director
of
housing
human
services.
Thank
you.
S
W
So
also
very
happy
to
let
you
all
know
that
we
have
another
guest
here
this
evening,
cameron
burns
who's
deputy
director
for
the
national
mayors
for
a
guaranteed
income
network
is
available
online
and
able
to
take
questions
after
the
presentation,
as
curt
said
we're
presenting
here
tonight,
with
an
update
in
a
little
more
detail
on
the
boulder
guaranteed
income
pilot
project
concept
and
since
our
last
time
presenting
to
council
on
this
topic,
we
do
have
a
team
of
city
staff
from
several
different
departments
who
are
also
getting
up
to
speed
on
the
pilot
project
concepts
and
how
they're
working
in
other
cities-
and
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
who
these
folks
are
because
they're
going
to
be
working
really
hard
over
the
next
several
months
and
year.
W
They
include
jay,
allen,
tiffany
baller,
rosine,
babuda,
ingrid
castro,
campos,
vicki,
ebner,
nicolia,
eldridge,
skemp,
tip
arpar,
karasuti,
markeisha,
key
hagan,
ryan
hansen,
sam
mcqueen
and
penny
monica
richmeyer
and
richard
todd.
So
just
to
kurt's
point.
This
is
definitely
has
been
and
will
be
a
good
team
effort,
and
I
hope
you'll
join
me
in
appreciating
their
interest
and
work
on
this
issue.
W
So
just
to
cover
what
we
want
to
cover
tonight
during
this
session.
The
memo
that
you
received
in
the
council
packet
contains
a
lot
of
details
on
what
we'll
be
presenting
tonight.
So
we'll
just
really
highlight
some
of
the
information.
I
can
definitely
give
some
more
examples
if
council
is
interested
in
in
the
interest
of
time,
we'll
try
to
keep
things
a
little
short
and
the
agenda
will
generally
follow
the
topics
as
they
were
presented
in
the
memo.
W
What
the
criteria
could
be
for
us
as
we
consider
the
project,
structure
and
partnerships,
and
then
whether
council
has
any
suggestions
on
our
approach
to
community
engagement
and
we'll
go
through
the
each
of
these
questions.
I'll
kind
of
bring
them
up
again,
as
we
touch
on
the
content,
around
outcomes,
criteria
and
community
engagement,
and
then
we'll
have
discussion
at
the
end
just
to
provide
a
little
context
as
we
like
to
do
for
any
of
our
human
services.
W
Housing
and
human
services
projects
is
to
really
focus
on
our
mission,
which
is
to
strive
for
all
people
in
this
community
to
thrive
and
important
in
this
mission.
Statement
isn't
only
about
meeting
people's
needs
on
a
daily
basis,
but
focusing
on
that
third
bullet
point
down
where
we're
addressing
systemic
inequities
about
any
and
all
areas
in
which
our
own
processes
and
practices
are
perpetuating
the
barriers
that
community
members
have
to
truly
being
able
to
live
here
and
thrive.
W
So
just
a
little
background
on
what
we
mean
by
guaranteed
income
pilot
project
just
for
a
review
guaranteed
income
is
a
term
that
describes
a
monthly
cash
payment
that
is
given
directly
to
individuals
in
a
manner
that
is
unconditional,
with
no
strings
attached
and
payments
in
guaranteed
income
pilot
projects
are
not
actually
meant
to
be
a
guarantee
for
life,
but
typically
for
a
period
of
time
between
one
and
two
years
and
guaranteed.
Income
really
is
a
term
of
art.
W
It's
one
of
many
that
can
describe
this
type
of
project,
but
it
really
is
to
distinguish
the
regular
and
reliable
cash
transfer
again
over
a
short
period
of
time
from
those
other
types
of
financial
assistance
that
are
very
situational
might
only
be
one
time
or
only
available
for
one
kind
of
one
type
of
use
and
city
staff
have
used
this
term
guaranteed
income
just
really
for
the
sake
of
consistency,
because
organizations
like
mirrors
for
a
guaranteed
income,
other
pilots
tend
to
use
the
term.
W
W
And
for
a
little
bit
more
background
again,
there
are
some
examples
of
this
project
in
the
memo,
but
the
seed
is
project
is
one
of
really
the
first
in
the
united
states,
that
was
a
mayor-led
guaranteed
income
project
started
off
in
stockton
and
in
it,
125
community
members
who
are
experiencing
low
income
receive
500
a
month
for
two
years,
and
here
again
there
were
no
strings
attached,
no
work
requirements
associated
with
them
receiving
these
funds
and,
as
kurt
mentioned,
some
of
our
housing
human
services
staff
have
really
been
looking
at
the
seed
project
since
it
launched
in
19
in
2019.
W
W
Some
of
them,
for
example,
are
the
people
participating
in
the
project
who
receive
the
basic
income
or
guaranteed
income,
experience,
less
income
volatility
and
more
financial
security.
So,
for
example,
the
rate
of
participants
who
could
pay
for
an
unexpected
expense
went
from
25
before
the
pilot
to
52.
Once
they
had
been
receiving
this
monthly
cash
transfer.
W
That
was
not
true
in
each
of
these
situations
for
the
the
control
group,
the
people
who
were
involved
in
the
project
for
research
but
did
not
receive
the
income
and
that's
just
a
very
short
description
of
some
of
the
outcomes.
The
link
for
the
stockton
demonstration
project
on
the
slide
goes
to
a
very
dynamic
web
page
that
has
white
papers
and
lots
of
research
details
and,
of
course,
we're
happy
to
share
what
el,
what
other
information
from
the
project
we
have
cleaned.
W
So
from
that
stockton
demonstration,
the
mayors
for
guaranteed
income
network
was
was
birthed,
and
this
was
founded
in
part
by
stockton,
mayor
michael
tubbs,
who
was
really
the
driving
force
behind
the
stockton
program,
and
this
map
just
shows
where
we
are
today
for
the
mayor's
for
guaranteed
income
network,
just
showing
how
widespread
the
interest
is
in
projects
like
this.
W
The
membership
in
mayors
for
guaranteed
income,
which
mayor
brockett,
has
joined
recently
on
behalf
of
city
of
boulder,
are
to
advocate
for
a
guaranteed
income
at
the
local
state
and
federal
level,
to
invest
in
narrative
change
to
highlight
the
lived
experience
of
people
with
economic
experiencing
economic
insecurity.
So
we
really
understand
what
that
means
in
our
community
and
then
to
invite
other
cities
to
join
us
in
this
effort.
I
W
Really
only
there,
because
you
can
zoom
in
and
see
exactly
which
cities
are
participating
and
how
concentrated
they
are
in
any
particular
area.
W
So,
while
not
everyone
who's,
a
part
of
the
mayors
for
guaranteed
income
network
has
a
pilot
program.
The
pilot
projects
have
been
expanding
throughout
the
u.s
in
the
past
couple
of
years,
and
the
logos
on
this
slide
really
just
refer
to
a
small
sampling
of
the
projects
that
are
currently
taking
place
in
communities
as
diverse
as
new.
C
W
Jackson,
mississippi
columbia,
south
carolina,
virginia
massachusetts,
new
york,
new
jersey,
minnesota,
saint
paul
or
st
paul,
minnesota,
rather
california,
and
also
just
up
down
the
road
in
denver
and
each
pilot
project
is
a
little
different
from
the
other
focus
is
the
same
and
collectively
they
offer
a
solid
blueprint
and
some
best
practices
on
which
we
here
in
boulder
can
really
draw
ideas
for
how
to
successfully
implement
a
pilot
here.
W
In
addition
to
that,
there
are
organizations
like
the
center
for
guaranteed
income
research
out
of
the
university
of
pennsylvania,
the
stanford
university
basic
income
lab
and,
of
course,
mayors
for
guaranteed
income
who
provide
a
lot
of
experience
and
strategic
guidance
and
a
lot
of
hands-on
device
and
just
to
say
really
quickly.
This,
just
among
the
the
projects
that
are
represented
on
this
slide
is
a
very
wide
range
of
approaches
that
cities
have
taken
so,
for
example,
the
magnolia
mothers
trust,
is
a
project
in
jackson,
mississippi.
W
That's
focused
on
black
single
mothers
at
a
thousand
dollars
a
month
for
a
year,
contrast
that
with
columbia
south
carolina,
where
their
assistance
program
focuses
on
fathers
at
five
hundred
dollars
a
month
for
for
one
year,
the
project
in
new
orleans,
4.0
kind
of
the
logo
in
the
upper
left.
W
There
provides
50
a
week
to
youth
who
are
ages
16
through
25.,
and
so
you
know
this
just
resembles
the
diversity
of
approaches
based
on
what
that
community
feels
like
their
community
members,
can
can
need
the
most
and
can
use
best
to
thrive.
W
So
when
thinking
about
this
guaranteed
income
project
for
city
of
boulder
and
using
our
arba
funds
for
it,
american
rescue
plan
act,
we
definitely
feel
like
this
project
really
meets
all
of
our
city
of
boulder
arpa
criteria
and
and
really
uniquely.
So
while
we
don't
have
a
currently
kind
of
named
partners.
Reflecting
on
that
last
bullet
point
among
the
city
of
boulder's
arpa
criteria.
W
W
The
eviction,
prevention
and
other
examples,
but
also
through
grants
that
we
make
to
non-profit
partners
who
also
provide
these
services,
and
these
are
a
lot
of
investments
that
we
also
make
in
programs
that
include
job
training,
academic
support,
all
of
the
building
blocks
that
people
really
need
in
order
to
to
do
well
and
look
better
in
this
community
and
what
makes
guaranteed
income
really
value
added
to
all
of
that
is
the
level
of
flexibility
and
empowerment
that
could
come
with
just
enabling
people
to
make
their
own
decisions
based
on
their
needs.
W
It
really
does
take
what
the
previous
presenter
described
as
a
as
an
affordability
package
to
help
people
do
well
and
truly
recover
from
this
pandemic
and
the
evidence
we
have
shows
that
we're
really
still
very
much
in
responding
when
it
comes
to
community
members
experiencing
low
income,
and
we
have
some
additional
evidence,
of
course,
for
how
projects
like
a
guaranteed
income
can
really
help,
add
value
and
meet
the
needs
of
our
community
members.
W
So
all
of
this
can
beg
the
question.
What
is
it
that
people
really
need
the
funding
for
and
earlier
when
we
were
talking
about
or
the
slide?
I
showed
up
about
the
stockton
demonstration
project.
W
We
heard
from
marty
earlier
tonight
are
that
community
members.
Similarly,
when
they
receive
these
benefits,
they
spend
them
on
food,
on
rent
on
transportation,
on
utilities.
After
that,
it's
health
care,
it's
other
household
goods
and
needs.
The
stockton
program
showed
that
only
one
percent
of
the
funds
that
were
allocated
to
participants
were
spent
on
tobacco
or
alcohol.
W
W
We
take
care
of
ourselves
and
our
families
and,
lastly,
just
wanted
to
note
that
one
of
the
other
benefits
of
a
guaranteed
income
project
and
the
kinds
of
guidance
and
blueprints
that
we
can
use
from
other
communities
is
that
they
can
be
structured
to
avoid
this
benefits
cliff
or
what
can
happen
when
a
community
member
who's
experiencing
low
income
makes
just
enough
money
that
they
may
be
ineligible,
then
for
the
benefits
that
they
really
have
needed
and
relied
upon
so
again,
there's
lots
of
details
about
how
how
other
cities
have
found
ways
to
avoid
this
cliff
and
I'm
sure
cameron
can
can
mention
other
examples
as
well.
W
So
it's
also
interesting
and
really
exciting
for
staff.
Thinking
about
this
project
is
this
transformative
elements,
and
this
is
again
a
term
that
we
use
when
we're
thinking
about
our
arpa
investments,
for
what
what
additional
we
want
right.
It's
it's
not
just
about
helping
people
now,
but
how
can?
W
How
can
we
use
these
dollars
to
really
transform
our
community
as
a
whole,
and
in
this
area
we
really
feel
as
though
a
guaranteed
income
project
can
really
change
the
social
contract
that
we
have
as
a
government
agency
with
our
community
members
who
are
experiencing
low
income
and
that
can
really
start
when
we
take
the
step
and
really
trust
people
to
make
their
own
financial
decisions
based
on
what
they
know
they
need
in
turn.
It
can.
W
You
know
put
in
motion
a
cycle
that
then
you
know
involves
us
removing
these
barriers
or
conditions
for
financial
assistance,
and
then
we
hope
that
community
members
themselves
will
increasingly
trust
and
feel
accepted,
and
the
quote
on
this
slide
is:
is
one
that
came
from
a
community
member
who
received
some
support.
Last
year
through
the
or
now
I
should
say
2020
through
the
left
behind
workers
fund
and
that's
the
kind
of
transformation.
W
So
before
presenting
the
the
next
section,
just
want
to
remind
council
the
the
first
question
that
we
posed
in
the
memo
and
here
tonight,
what,
if
any,
additional
outcomes
might
council
want
to
achieve
through
a
guaranteed
income
pilot
project?.
H
W
Let
me
make
sure
I
understand
what
you're
saying
do
you
want
pausing
for
each
of
the
questions
or
wait
till
the
end?
Wait
till
the
end?
Yes,
gotcha!
That's
why
I'm
planning
yes
good!
Thank
you.
W
So
what
the
outcomes
that
we've
shared
in
the
memo
and
which
are
here
on
the
slide
again
are
were
generated
from
city
staff,
with
input
from
some
of
our
non-profit
partners
who
we've
engaged
with
starting
back
in
december
and
earlier
in
january,
and
also
we're
informed
on
the
kinds
of
outcomes
that
other
pilot
projects
have
experienced,
and
these
include
reduced
poverty.
You
know
for
people
participating
and
possibly
community-wide
increased
housing
and
food
security.
W
We
want
to
see
outcomes
in
terms
of
levels
of
employment,
potentially
higher
wages.
Whether
people
decide
with
this
support
that
they
want
to
advance
their
education
and
to
and
to
withstand
again
the
ability
to
sorry
the
ability
to
withstand
financial
hardship
in
crisis,
etc.
W
So
next
question
is:
what
criteria
might
council
suggest
regarding
the
project
structure
in
partnerships
and
for
here,
it's
fairly
detailed,
slides
so
I'll?
Actually
just
click
through
and
again
the
details
are
in
the
memo.
W
We
feel
as
though,
that
really
those
require
input
from
our
community
members
who
really
understand
these
challenges
and
opportunities,
and
so
what
we
are
presenting
is
a
set
of
criteria
which
we
think
should
be
held
forward
as
we
design
a
project,
whatever
those
detailed
decisions
might
be,
and
maybe
some
of
these
would
seem
obvious,
but
just
wanting
to
call
out
and
and
kind
of
better
articulate
what
our
approach
is.
W
So
that
includes
applying
and
finding
applying
any
findings
from
our
own
city,
equity
assessments
and
instruments.
Council
is
well
familiar
with
our
racial
equity
plan,
our
racial
equity
instrument
and
our
rapid
response
assessment.
W
To
that
point,
some
pilot
projects
actually
set
up
what
they
call
a
no
harm
fund,
so
that,
if
a
community
member
who
participates
ends
up
having
an
adverse
situation,
like
you
know,
they've
been
told
they
kind
of
make
too
much
money
to
be
eligible
for
a
benefit
they've
been
relying
on.
Is
there
a
little
bit
of
a
safety
net
to
provide
them
with
some
assistance?
If
that
happens,
we
want
to
be
sure
we're
really
making
use
of
a
robust
data
collection
and,
lastly,
really
include
some
planning
for
project
sustainability
and
I'll
touch
on
this.
W
So
those
are
the
criterion
again.
As
council
member
joseph
said,
we'll
we'll
hold
discussion
until
the
end
on
these
as
well.
W
W
And
next
a
brief
timeline.
It's
a
little
tricky
to
say
exactly
what
this
timeline
might
be
before.
We
really
have
a
project
manager
in
place
to
help
move
things
forward
at
at
a
face
that
a
pace
that
would
be
faster
than
what
we
can
with
our
current
staff
capacity,
etc.
W
But
this
again
is
based
on
on
some
of
the
average
time
frames
from
other
guaranteed
income
pilots.
I
mentioned
in
the
memo
that
some
pilots
have
been
launched
in
less
than
a
couple
of
months,
where
it's
been
very
simple
and
structure,
and
where
city
staff
we're
taking
a
lead
and
really
making
a
lot
of
the
decisions
that
we
believe
a
community
input
is,
is
really
optimal
and
going
all
the
way
up
to
several
years
that
some
pilots
have
actually
done.
W
M
W
W
This
is
a
cycle
that
could
repeat
itself
with
a
different.
You
know,
potentially
lessons
learned,
potentially
new
partners,
again
really
kind
of
incorporating
what
we
know
from
the
pilot
to
keep
it
to
keep
it
moving
ahead.
W
C
W
H
F
Thanks
so
much
for
this
presentation
and
for
all
the
work,
that's
kind
of
gone
into
this
so
far.
I
think,
regarding
that
first
question
what
I
and
honestly,
the
second
one
as
well.
What
I'm
really
most
interested
in
is
what
the
people
who
will
benefit
from
this
program,
see
as
the
outcomes
I
really
feel
like
as
a
as
a
boulder
homeowner.
F
I
am
not
the
right
person
to
be
providing
a
lot
of
feedback
on
outcomes,
nor
should
I
be
trying
to
dictate
what
what
benefits
other
people
might
expect
to
get
when
I'm
coming
from
a
very
different
place.
So
I
would
just
be
very
interested
in
hearing
more
about
what
the
community
members
and
the
folks
who
who
will
benefit,
have
to
say
in
response
to
that
question.
F
So
I
know
I'm
not
totally
answering
the
question,
but
it's
more
that
I
don't
feel
like
I'm
the
right
person
to
answer
some
of
these
questions
and
as
far
as
the
approach
to
community
engagement,
I
would
really
like
to
see
most
of
the
engagement
for
this
project
coming
from
the
folks
who
are
going
to
benefit
from
it.
F
I
think
elizabeth,
some
of
the
things
that
you
were
mentioning
in
your
comments,
really
got
at
the
the
point
that
sometimes
those
of
us
who
are
not
experiencing
poverty
have
some
different
opinions
about
why
folks
may
be
experiencing
poverty,
and
so
it
really
just
feels
to
me
like
it's
a
place
where
we
want
to
lean
pretty
heavily
on
the
community
to
know
what
what
they
need.
F
And
then
the
other
thing
that
I
have
around
the
engagement
process
is
whether
it's
going
to
include
some
sort
of
marketing
or
advertising
to
particip
potential
applicants
to
this
program.
Right
so
can.
Can
we
also
use
it
as
a
way
to
spread
the
word
about
this
program
so
that
we
can
get?
You
know
the
the
most
people
participating
as
we
can,
and
that's
all
thank
you.
P
I
must
have
been
under
a
mis
apprehension.
I
thought
that
when
we
approved
funds
to
study
this
program
that
we're
actually
going
to
study
it
before
implementing
it-
and
it
seems
like
we
have
assumed
the
conclusion
here-
but
let's,
let's
start
with
a
premise
that
none
of
this
money
is
going
to
be
used
for
any
of
any
purpose
other
than
social
services.
P
So
it's
not
a
question
of
of
paving
the
roads
with
this
money.
It's
a
question
of
what
gives
us
the
best
return
on
a
three
million
dollar
investment.
Page
three
of
the
of
the
memo
states
that
there's
been
an
exponential
increase
for
financial
and
rental
assistance,
food
assistance
and
health
care
access.
P
W
Well,
I
would
just
say
that
we're
not
in
hhs
planning
on
pulling
back
on
our
other
investments,
either
directly
that
we
provide,
through
our
department
or
through
the
kinds
of
investments
we
provide
to
other
nonprofits,
and
that
this
is
really
a
way
to
add
to
the
services
that
we
already
have
to
really
try
to
kind
of
push.
Help.
Help
push
families
they're
individuals
over
over
a
limit
over
a
barrier
that
they
still
have
not
been
able
to
achieve.
P
But
but
that's
not
really
my
question:
my
question
is:
if
we're
going
to
spend
three
million
dollars,
is
this
the
best
way
to
spend
it
and
what's
the
basis
for
assuming
that
it's
the
best
way
to
spend
it
as
opposed
to
putting
another
million
dollars
into
a
rental
assistance
or
another
million
dollars
into
food
assistance
which
would
help
more
people?
If
you
do
the
math
here
this
this
program
is
going
to
help
459
people
or
229
people,
158
people
or
229.
P
So
my
question
is:
how
is
this
the
best
way
of
proceeding,
and
why
is
there
no
analysis
to
tell
us
that
why
this
is
the
bad
thing
I
just
want
to?
There
are
a
lot
of
possibilities.
Please
tell
me
why
this
is
the
best
outcome
of
all.
W
Well,
I
think
we,
what
we've
seen
from
other
existing
pilots
is
that
this
kind
of
cash
transfer
program
is
transformational
for
people
who
participate
and
the
purpose
of
running
a
pilot
is
so
that
we
can
see
whether
or
not
it
really
is,
and
the
fact
that
we
in
boulder,
if
you
know
we,
if
we
do,
move
ahead
right,
so
this
funds
were
the
initial
250
000
were
to
begin
design
for
implementation
and
we'll
come
back
later
on
this
year,
with
a
request
for
tranche
three
for
the
remainder
of
the
the
three
million
that
staff
are
suggesting,
be
allocated
to
this
project
and-
and
that's
been
where
the
success
is
some
of
the
stories
and
the
experiences
that
are
coming
from
people
who
have
heard
have
participated
and
benefited
from
a
cash
transfer
guaranteed
income
project
are
that
the
value
add
is
quite
significant
and
the
statistics
I
mentioned
earlier
from
stockton.
W
There
are
other
details
coming
out
from
other
pilots
in
place,
boulder's
not
first.
In
this
we
would
be
probably
among
the
30th,
perhaps
by
the
time
we
launch,
assuming
for
the
moment
that
we
do,
and
so
there
are
a
lot
of
research
and
details
from
all
the
other
pilots
that
are
pointing
toward
this
kind
of
project.
To
be
truly
transformational.
W
D
So
elizabeth,
thank
you
so
much
for
this.
I
really
appreciate
the
detailed
work
you
did.
The
the
research
shines
through
and
the
presentation
and
your
approach
to
it.
D
I
had
thought
that
we'd
be
like
evaluating
criteria
for
selecting
people
and
such
like
that,
but
I
think
you're
absolutely
on
target
with
let's
reach
out
to
the
community
to
get
guidance
on
on
those
kinds
of
things,
and
I
thought
nicole
was
right
on
target
when,
when
she
said
that
hey,
you
know
we're
not
the
experts
here
on
what
would
be
the
most
helpful
in
a
poverty
reduction
program
like
this
talk
to
the
people
who
are
experiencing
it,
although
I
would
just
add.
E
D
Not
not
just
to
the
people
who
are
currently
eligible,
but
also
people
with
lived
experience
in
this
area,
who
might
be
in
better
shape
now
and
might
not
be
maybe
eligible
now,
but
you
know
who
have
have
experienced
some
real
hard
times
can
also
add
insight
into
it.
So
you
know
definitely
do
some
broader
outreach,
I
would
say,
but
I
think
we
do
want
to
focus
in
on
for
people
who
are
struggling
in
our
community.
D
What
would
be
a
program
that
would
be
the
most
helpful
you
know
to
them
in
within
the
parameters
that
we
started
talking
about,
but
I
think
you're
right
on
target.
I
don't
have
any
major
things
to
suggestions
to
offer
about
different
ways
to
do
it.
So,
thanks
for
your
work,
I'm
looking
forward
to
coming
back
to
it
and
proud
to
be
the
the
public
face
of
the
mayor's
for
guaranteed
income
and,
however,
I
can
be
helpful
in
that
role.
A
Next,
okay,
I
want
to
say
that
at
first
the
first
time
you
talked
about
it
elizabeth,
I
can't
say
I
was
incredibly
excited,
but
after
I
have
studied
this
and
the
packet
was
excellent
and
it
really
just
showed
it
to
me
in
a
different
light.
I
got
way
more
excited
about
it.
I
think
the
the
especially
the
increased
level
of
employment
in
higher
wages,
the
academic
advancement
and
the
ability
to
withstand
financial
hardship
and
crisis
really
stood
out
to
me.
So
within
that
I
do
have
some
questions
as
far
as
hard
data.
A
A
I
was
so
interested,
but
we're
not
exactly
like
stockton,
so
I
would
like
to
see
how
I
would
like
to
know
more
information
in
the
details
of
other
cities
that
were
most
like
us,
how
it
specifically
helped
percentages
of
human
health
and
I'm
also
very
interested
in
where
it
didn't
help
and
or
is
there
any
instance
where
the
program
actually
didn't
work,
so
it's
always
good
to
look
at
the
positives,
but
also
the
negative.
So
you
know
we
can
assess
properly.
A
My
next
question
is:
it's
only
going.
You
know.
Arpa
funds
ends
in
2026
and
then
what
happens
it
ends
and
in
your
studies,
have
other
cities
have
the
people
who
have
been
getting
the
funds
been
okay
when
it
ended,
or
has
there
been
disappointment
and
has
it
kind
of
like?
What's
the
word,
wear
it
back
back?
What's
the
word
elizabeth
back,
I'm
not.

A
W
A
Okay,
you
know
what
I'm
saying
and
so
the
fact
that
it's
a
one
to
two
year
program
and
then
it's
over
because
arpa
funds
are
over.
Where
does
that
go?
Those
are
my
two
thoughts
backlash
thanks
nicole
thank
clash,
and
so
those
are
my
questions
and
then
backfires
I'm
getting
a
lot
of
backfire
backlash.
You
know
what
I'm
saying
backfire.
I
think
it's
backfire
anyway.
A
So
those
are
my
two
thoughts
right
now
and
I
would
be
really
interested
in
your
your
answers
to
that
or,
if
you
need
to
think
about
it,
and
then
you
know,
write
us
at
a
different.
You
know
at
a
different
time.
That
would
also
be
okay.
W
Well
I'll
answer
very
briefly,
and
then
I
think
this
is
certainly
a
good
question
for
cameron
burns
to
weigh
in
on.
I
think
he's
much
more
familiar
with
some
of
the
other
pilot
projects.
W
Just
last
thing.
First,
so
the
nature
of
the
pilot
projects
as
they've
been
rolled
out
in
other
places,
is
they're
they're.
It's
it's
well
known
when
people
apply
they've,
they
fully
understand
at
the
front
end
that
the
if
they're
identified
or
chosen
for
the
program
for
the
project
that
they
are,
that
the
the
assistance
is
time
stamped
it's
a
year.
W
It's
18
months,
it's
two
years
and
and
that's
it
so
there's
no
surprises
that
that
come
with
that
and
some
pilots
have-
and
perhaps
perhaps
at
this
point
it's
all,
but
at
least
those
that
I've
looked
at
most
closely
and
spoken
with
the
staff
members
for
other
pilots
have
shared
that
they're
very
upfront
with
community
members
that
the
projects
are
designed
to
help
them
avoid
that
that
backlash
the
backfire.
W
W
Maybe
you
do
there
is
an
impact
to
to
ssi
and
they
can
choose
not
to
participate,
but
again,
most
of
their
pilot
projects
also
have
a
built-in
kind
of
no
harm
fund
or
some
other
mechanism,
so
that,
if
that
happens,
that
participant
is
is
kind
of
not
you
know,
kind
of
not
left
out
in
the
cold,
so
to
speak,
some
of
the
feedback
that
we've
had
just
in
terms
of
the
the
duration
of
the
project
in
terms
of
sustainability,
one
of
our
local
non-profit
leaders,
said
you
know,
understanding
that
you
know
it's
a
pilot
project,
it's
not
forever.
W
We
don't
know
you
know
exactly
what's
to
come
in
terms
of
the
state
sustainability
long
term
for
something
like
this,
but
that,
if
you
are
able
to
or
if
we
are
able
to
really
truly
invest,
you
know
on
on
that
even
a
month
for
that
short
period
of
time
in
that
individual
in
that
family,
it
can
be
life-changing
for
that
period
of
time
in
a
way
that
could
transform
for
in
the
long
term.
W
Some
of
the
examples
from
stockton,
for
example,
are
that
community
members
receiving
the
benefit
couldn't
even
take
any
time
off
from
work
to
explore
what
other
jobs
might
be
available
to
them.
They
couldn't
pay
for
child
care.
For
that
amount
of
time,
they
just
had
a
different
sense
of
what
it
was
like
to
be
able
to
take
a
risk
to
have
an
internship
that
led
to
something
far
greater,
and
it's
not
that
those
kinds
of
opportunities
can't
possibly
come
from
other
places.
M
W
If
you
don't
know
it's
going
to
succeed
or
be
able
to
continue
and
part
of
it
is
that
is
the
nature
of
a
pilot
and
all
of
them
as
they're
rolling
out
and
having
heard
some
from
community
members
that
even
that
could
be
really
really
transformational,
I
thought
was
very
inspiring,
but
I'm
going
to
ask
actually
ask
cam
cameron
if
he
would
mind
weighing
in
and
probably
has
some
other
specific
examples
to
share
from
pilots
other
than
stockton,
and
there
are
other
communities
that
are
more
similar
to
to
boulder.
W
Like
cambridge,
for
example,
comes
to
mind,
but
cameron,
would
you
mind
weighing
in.
Y
Yes,
and
I
think,
to
reiterate
what
you
had
mentioned
of
you
know:
stockton's
preliminary
results.
The
first
year
findings
were
released
last
year.
All
of
our
studies
that
you
know
are
under
the
umbrella
of
marriage
for
guaranteed
income,
go
forward
in
evaluating
through
a
randomized
control
trial
that
is
approved
by
you
know
in
institutional
review
board,
and
so
it's
a
short
way
of
saying
all
of
those
findings
in
cambridge
other.
You
know,
cities
that
that
look
and
feel
like
like
boulder.
Y
Those
have
not
been
released
yet
that
are
another
year
plus
out.
However,
again
we
are
pushing
forward
the
national
learning
agenda.
We
imagine
largely
that
the
findings
that
we
experience
in
stockton
will
look
fairly
similar
in
in
other
cities.
You
know
that
the
anecdotes
are
that
are
coming
out
of
cambridge
again
in
their
storytelling
cohort.
Are
you
know?
A
young
lady
was
able
to
take
time
out
of
her
job
to
take
a
a
test
to
get
certified
as
a
phlebotomist
failed.
The
first
time
that
takes
that
takes.
Y
You
know
good
amount
of
time.
You
gotta
take
public
transportation
feel
the
first
time
had
to
go
back
the
next
month.
Do
it
again
past
so
there's
there's
anecdotes
like
that.
We
don't
have
yet
the
data
from
the
40
plus
cities
to
lean
on,
but
we
will
certainly
have
that,
and
I
guess
to
to
not
shoot
myself
in
the
foot
and
answer
the
what
didn't
go
well
in
guaranteed
income
pilots.
I
I
actually
I'm
answering
truthfully
and
honestly.
I
I
do
not
have
anything
to
point
to
that.
Y
Didn't
go
well
again.
The
main
questions,
the
fundamental
questions
that
we
were
kind
of
looking
to
to
learn
were:
how
does
a
guaranteed
income
impact
volatility.
So,
when
you're
looking
at
a
typical
american
family,
they
experience
anywhere
between
a
30
percent.
Y
You
know
high
or
low,
take
home
income,
and
you
can
imagine
that
if
a
family
is
on
the
you
know
low
income
receiving
month
and
they
get
a
flat
tire
or
experience
either
some
other
kind
of
shock
that
could
that
could
send
them
into
a
financial
tailspin.
So
the
first
question:
what
does
an
income
floor
kind
of
mean
to
our
recipients
and
it
dramatically
reduced
their
in
their
income
volatility?
Y
The
second
question:
to
what
degree
do
changes
in
income
volatility,
alter
financial
well-being,
but
also
psychological
distress
and
physical
functioning?
So
you
know
our
researchers
administered
what
is
called
the
the
kessler
scale
and
a
few
other
instruments
that
like
when
you
go
to
the
doctor's
office,
it's
literally
the
the
same
questionnaire
that
they
use
to
kind
of
understand
where
you're
at
mentally
many
of
the
recipients,
experience
mild
to
moderate
depression,
and
it
is
strictly
tied
to
their
experience
with
poverty.
Y
When
the
guaranteed
income
came
through,
you
can
see
the
graph
literally
just
precipitates
downwards.
So
that
is
the
second
question
and
the
third
one
is:
how
does
guaranteed
income
generate
agency
over
one's
future?
So
again,
the
framing
of
our
national
learning
agenda
that
is
working
in
lockstep
with
dozens
of
other
cities,
in
our
view,
are
asking
the
right
questions,
whereas
20
30
years
ago,
the
agenda
of
kind
of
welfare
reform
was
specifically
to
reduce
the
roles
of
folks.
You
know
welfare
to
work
for
the
end
of
welfare.
As
we
know
it.
Y
The
research
back
then
asked
different
questions.
We
are
now
asking
these
questions
so
yeah.
I
don't
know
if
I
missed
some
part
of
your
your
question
threads,
but
no
bad
things
to
report
out.
H
Thank
you.
Next,
we
have
lauren
and
then
bob.
I
Thank
you.
I
strongly
agree
with
nicole's
statements
regarding
outreach,
engagement
and
program
design,
but
as
the
engagement
moves
forward,
it
would
be
good
to
see
what
additional
aggregate
data
can
be
gleaned
from
sort
of
the
information
coming
out
of
communities.
Who've
used
programs
like
this,
I'm
thinking
about
things
like
you
know,
do
we
have
information
regarding
selection
criteria
that
suggests
who
experiences
the
greatest
transformational
effect?
I
What
duration
is
required
to
see
that
kind
of
benefit
and
if
there's
any
fall
off
regarding
the
amount
of
time
that
the
program
has
you
know
if
the
program
exceeds
a
certain
duration
that
you're
not
seeing
as
much
transformational
benefit
that
might
be
hard
to
glean,
but
if
we
can
get
pull
any
information
like
that,
I
think
it
would
be
really
helpful
to
have
that
as
the
engagement
process
moves
forward
and
in
terms
of
the
collection
of
data,
I
would
support
anything
that
helps
bring
in
additional
future
funding.
N
Well,
elizabeth
and
cam
thanks
so
much
for
the
the
presentation
and
elizabeth
I'm
going
to
follow
the
pattern
of
my
colleagues
and
that
actually
not
answer
your
questions
either.
But
I
do
have
some
some
suggestions.
I'm
going
to
volunteer
you're
having
a
lot
of
help
tonight.
N
I
think
that
actually,
in
a
way,
nicole
and
mark
were
kind
of
asking
the
same
question
or
making
the
same
suggestion,
they
kind
of
approached
it
a
little
bit
differently,
but
it
really
came
down
to
program
design
right
and
so
I'm
going
to
maybe
state
it
slightly
different
than
they
did.
You
know
right
now.
N
And
so
I
guess
I
I
kind
of
challenge
you
to
to
think
about
this
holistically
and
say:
listen
if
we
had
5
million.
That
is
the
2
million
that
we
already
spend
every
year
and
another
3
million
from
arpa.
Would
we
spend
it
in
the
allocation
that
we're
looking
at
right
now,
which
is
the
two
million
for
the
programs
that
we
already
have
plus
three
million
dollars
for
this
guaranteed
income,
or
is
there
some
different
mix?
N
Maybe
it's
two
and
a
half
and
two
and
a
half,
or
maybe
it's
more
towards
guaranteed
income
and
less
towards
these
existing
programs
or
maybe,
as
mark
suggested,
maybe
it's
more
for
the
existing
programs.
I
I
don't
know
what
the
answer
is,
but
I
guess
I
encourage
you
as
you
investigate
this,
to
look
at
this
holistically,
not
just
to
sarah.
These
programs
are
what
they
are
and
we
have
to
leave
them
alone.
We
can't
increase
or
decrease
them,
and-
and
the
only
thing
we
can
do
with
the
three
million
dollars
is
guaranteed
income.
N
I
realize
that
arpa
has
some
strings
attached
and
you
may
have
some
constraints
on
your
flexibility,
but
but
I
encourage
you,
you
think
about
this
over
the
next
couple
of
months
to
look
at
this
in
partnership
with
the
other
programs.
It
may
turn
out
that
the
answer
is:
keep
the
two
million
dollars
in
programs
and
have
this
three
million
go
to
guaranteed
income.
That
may
be
the
right
answer,
but,
as
mark
suggested,
maybe
we
shouldn't
presume
that
going
in
that's
just,
I
think
what
what's
being
suggested
here
on
program
design.
N
The
second
thing
completely
unrelated
is
I
would
I
would
urge
you
to
consider
a
name
other
than
guaranteed
income.
I
noticed
on
the
the
slide
you
had
with
all
the
various
logos
and
whatnot
from
various
cities
that
looked
like
about
half
the
cities,
didn't
call
it
guaranteed
income,
and
I
know
that
it's
a
term
of
art
and
there's
a
there's,
a
an
organization
that
calls
itself.
You
know
guaranteed
income
so
and
so
forth.
N
I
thought
it
was
kind
of
interesting
that
stockton
referred
to
it
as
the
seeds
program
and
the
reason
I'd
like
to
steer
us
away
from
guaranteed
income
is
twofold.
One
is,
I
worry
a
little
bit
about
expectation
setting.
N
I
I
realized
you
did
a
great
job
of
saying
that
we're
going
to
set
people's
expectations
about
this
is
a
pilot
and
it's
going
to
have
a
beginning
and
it
might
have
an
end,
and
you
know
it's
not
necessarily
guaranteed
and
it's
not
necessarily
income,
but
I
worry
a
little
bit
about
setting
people's
ex
beneficiaries
expectations,
and
so
my
guess
is,
we
could
probably
come
up
with
a
name,
a
descriptor
that
that
maybe
lowers
those
expectations
a
little
bit
on
the
other
side
of
the
coin.
N
There
are
undoubtedly
people
in
the
community-
some
have
already
written
to
us
who
equate
this
incorrectly
with
universal
basic
income,
which
of
course
is
a
different
concept,
and
but
that
unfortunately
triggers
some
people-
and
I
think,
if
we
use
the
word
term,
guaranteed
income
that
could
could
cause
some
community
backlash.
N
That
is
unintended
in
confusion.
So
I'm
just
gonna
leave
you
with
a
suggestion
that
maybe
we
can
put
on
our
thinking
caps
and
come
up
with
a
a
term
that
is
a
little
bit
different
than
guarantee
nico.
That's
all.
I
have.
E
Thanks
juni
and
elizabeth
and
cam,
I
really
appreciate
the
work
on
this.
I
mean
this
is
this
is
what
a
pilot
should
be?
It's
it's
well
studied
up
front
and
we
have
a
good
sense
of
where
we
want
to
go
and
some
guardrails
of
what
this
program
will
look
like
and
and
some
criteria
in
which
you
want
to
evaluate
success.
E
So
so
I
just
in
general,
love
the
process
in
which
we've
arrived
at
wanting
to
institute
this
pilot,
I
can't
add
much
more
than
my
colleagues.
I
just
want
to
say
this
is
great
and
what
I
saw
in
the
memo.
E
It
really
didn't
lead
to
really
a
lot
of
extra
questions,
and
what
nicole
and
and
some
other
colleagues
have
brought
up
are
some
of
the
similar
questions
I
would
have
asked
as
well,
so
I
just
want
to
say
great
job
and-
and
I
think
we're
headed
in
a
really
good
direction
on
this.
So
so
thank
you
so
much.
F
Thank
you
just
one
follow-up
that
I
forgot
to
ask
earlier,
which
is
around
outcome
measures.
One
of
the
things
that
I
think
is
especially
valuable
in
pilot
programs
is
thinking
about
kind
of
leading
indicators
so
that
we
don't
get
to
the
end
of
the
project
to
find
out
whether
it
worked
or
not.
But
you
know
what
are
those
things.
F
So
I
think
it
would
just
be
something
wonderful
for
the
community
group
to
be
thinking
about
those
kind
of
indicators
we're
seeing
along
the
way,
as
well
as
whatever
the
sort
of
final
outcomes
of
success
are,
and
I
just
wanted
to
to
clarify.
F
I'm
not
sure
that
mark-
and
I
were
were
quite
saying
the
same
thing,
because
you
know
I
really
believe
the
data
coming
out
of
the
other
cities
that
are
talking
about
how
transformative
this
money
is
and
how
it's
categorically
different
from
providing
rental
assistance
or
food
assistance,
or
something
like
that.
It's
really
there
does
seem
to
be
something
that
is
different
from
those
other
programs.
F
And
maybe
maybe
this
is
kind
of
what
what
we
were
all
getting
at
was
that
it
would
be
interesting
to
see
how
it's
different
from
those
types
of
assistance
programs.
You
know
the
outcomes
that
that
we're
seeing,
but
in
my
mind,
this
is
just
really
about
empowering
people
to
make
their
own
decisions
as
to
how
what
it
is
that
they
need
and
how
they
can
best
meet
those
needs
with
the
available
funds,
and
that's
just
it's
different
right.
F
It's
not
quite
the
same
thing
and
I'm
I
think
this
is
the
the
scientist
of
me
is
kind
of
curious.
You
know
what
is
the
nature
of
that
difference
right.
What
is
it
that
this
is
giving
it
to
people
that
leads
to
some
of
these
outcomes
that
seem
different
from
from
these
other
programs.
Y
I
And
just
in
terms
of
criteria
or
information
that
we
might
collect
one
of
the
things
that
popped
into
my
mind
also
was
that
I
would
be
interested
in
knowing
is
how
kind
of
the
overhead
compared
to
the
outcomes
of
this
program
relates
to
some
of
the
other
assistance
programs
that
we
offer,
because
I
think
that
is
in
my
mind.
H
H
Who
do
you
intend
to
reach
out
to
that's
something
that
I
thought
about
as
you
were
going
through
the
presentation-
and
I
think
I
have
heard
the
same
thing-
my
other
council
members-
how
many
people,
how
many
people
do
you
intend
to
serve
through
this
program
and
then
I
think
again,
another
echo
is
boulder
is
pretty
wealthy,
which
is
our
community,
and
so
I
hope
my
hope
is
that
you
will
be
very
specific
and
reach
out
to
the
exact
community.
H
You
believe
you
will
be
serving
and
who
will
be
the
beneficiary
of
this
particular
program,
as
opposed
to
just
general
members
of
the
population
and
asking
questions,
and
I
think
it
goes
back
to
what
nicole
and
aaron
said
as
council
members,
we
we
are
different.
We
fall
under
a
different
demographic,
hopefully
you're
not
just
reaching
out
to
you,
know
the
usual
suspects,
but
you
all
go
into
these
communities
and
trying
to
find
them.
I
welcome
the
idea
of
the
task
force.
I
think
it's
a
great
idea
again.
H
H
I
think
multiple
council
members
said
the
same
thing,
but
in
different
ways
you
need
to
look
at
the
overhead
versus
outcome.
So
what
that
really
means
to
me
is
that
is
it
going
to
be
more
costly
to
put
this
program
together,
and
is
it
truly
at
the
end
of
the
day,
are
more
people
being
served
through
this
program
as
opposed
just
putting
the
money
through
hhs.
H
And
then
there's
questions
about
the
program
design
which
we
just
talked
about,
meaning
community
outreach.
What
does
that
look
like,
and
also
I
welcome
the
idea
of
the
name
change
as
well.
You
don't
want
to
give
the
false
impression
to
community
members
that
we
intend
to
serve
people
for
indefinitely,
so
it's
it's
good
to
come
up
with
a
good
name,
and
I
think,
as
council
member
bob
was
thinking
about
that.
This
is
not
the
first
time
he's
brought
this
up
tonight.
H
He's
brought
it
up
before,
maybe
bob
you
should
think
about
a
name
actually
that
you
can
bring.
H
Okay,
all
right,
thank
you,
and
now
I'm
going
back
to
you,
elizabeth
and
just
wanting
to
know.
Have
we
answered
all
your
questions?
Do
you
have
any
anything
you
want
to
ask
us
before
we
move
to
the
next
section
of
our
meeting
today.
W
Well,
yeah,
just
one
quick
comment
and
then
I'll,
I
think
kurt
wants
to
make
a
couple
of
of
comments
as
well.
First
of
all,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
attention
and
the
great
questions.
They
are
the
questions
whether
or
not
this
is
what
difference
is
this
going
to
make?
You
know
what?
W
How
will
this
work
and
and
again
the
the
thing
that
has
really
spurred
us
forward,
as
as
city
staff
and
our
our
non-profit
partners,
who
have
weighed
in
on
this
already
as
well,
is
that
there
is
a
difference
that
poverty
being
poor
is
expensive.
Poverty
is
hard
hard
work
and
by
the
nature
of
the
the
financial
assistance
in
a
program
like
this
is
so
different
from
the
kinds
of
services
we
have
and-
and
that's
really
that
transformative
piece
that
we
want
to
that.
W
We
want
to
test
it's
our
connectors
who
have
said
this
is
the
kind
of
project
we
really
need
here.
This
is
what
our
community
members
really
can
benefit
from.
So
that's
what
has
kind
of
spurred
us
forward
and
inspired
us
we're
going
to
be
really
pleased
to
be
in
a
large
national
learning
cohort
through
mayors
for
a
guaranteed
income
and
others
so
we'll
be
in
very
good
company
with
a
wide
range
of
communities,
including
some
that
that
look
a
lot
like
boulder
and
have
our
same
struggles.
W
X
Yeah,
so
so
thank
you,
elizabeth
for
for
that
and
thank
you
council
for
your
your
great
questions.
I
appreciated
lauren
you
bringing
up
the
you
know
how
we
measure
these
outcomes
and
that's
helpful.
X
The
community
engagement
that
we
heard
about-
and
I
appreciate
mark
your
your
questions
about
the
approach
and
possibly
some
skepticism,
which
can
also
be
helpful,
but
I
also
wanted
to
make
an
observation
that
I
made
again
about
a
year
ago
about
a
lot
of
the
individuals
and
households
in
our
community
that
are
served
through
many
of
the
nonprofit
organizations
that
we
help
support,
and
I
know
you
help
support
as
well
personally,
and
you
mentioned
some
of
them
mark
and
others.
X
You
know,
there's,
there's,
rent
support,
housing
supports
food,
health
care,
dentistry,
all
sorts
of
all
sorts
of
things
and
what's
challenging
about
being
low
income
is
for
each
one
of
those
programs
have
to
continually
prove
that
you're
that
you're
poor
and
it
takes
a
lot
of
time.
It
takes
paperwork.
It
takes
efforts
that
we
don't
have
to
go
through
to
to
experience
those
those
benefits
which
they're
trying
to
get
just
to
make
things.
X
You
know
just
to
get
by
for
that
month
and
about
just
over
a
year
ago,
at
the
beginning
of
2021,
I
put
a
challenge
out
to
hhs
to
see
how
we
could
start
addressing
that
as
well
and
looking
at
every
single
program
and
how
we
could
reduce
the
barriers
to
assisting
people
and
that
whole.
You
know
process
of
all
the
paperwork.
You
need
to
continually
create
to
prove
your
your
you're,
the
right
person
for
that
benefit,
and
I
think
they
get
this.
X
X
And
I
appreciate
how
nicole
kind
of
completed
that
that
that
that
idea,
at
the
end,
as
well
and
creating
an
opportunity
for
people
to,
as
was
mentioned
through,
the
presentation,
really
pick
up
the
pieces
when
pieces
fall
apart
in
a
particular
month
and
make
real
advances
in
goals
over
a
period
of
a
year
or
two
when
they
didn't
have
that
opportunity.
Before
and
and
as
we
listen
to
the
the
individuals
in
our
community
need
this
assistance,
as
you've
asked
us
to
do.
X
I
think
we're
going
to
hear
more
of
that,
so
I'm
hoping
that
this
program
can
be
a
different
way
of
engaging
with
our
community
and
them
being
successful
to
strive,
which
is
where
we
we
started
this
conversation
at
the
beginning.
So
thank
you
very
much,
and
this
has
been
a
great
study
session
for
for
us
for
elizabeth
and
the
whole
team.
That's
working
on
this
and
thank
you
juni
for
for
guiding
that
conversation.
H
Thank
you
very
much,
kurt
and
elizabeth
for
the
presentation.
It
was
very
thoughtful
and
I
did
see
another
staff
member
on
the
presentations
or,
if
I
don't
remember
your
name,
but
thank
you
for
your
contribution
as
well.
H
Now
next
stop
is
the
an
update
of
boulder
museum
of
contemporary
arts,
community
culture
and
safety
tax
matching
grant
agreement.
So
this
is
a
30
minutes
presentation
and
I
know
we
all
are
very
outgoing
and
friendly
and
love
to
talk
so
hopefully
we'll
be
done
by
10
30.
U
Good
evening
council
joe
wagner
texas
special
projects
manager,
I
have
only
a
couple
slides,
but
I
do
know
that
a
couple
of
our
partners
from
bomoca
have
been
patiently
waiting
as
well,
so
I'll
go
through
this
as
quickly
as
possible
to
open
up
to
council's
questions.
U
So
as
this
is
loading
as
council
member
joseph
mentioned
we're
here
with
an
update
and
some
questions
for
council
on
the
boldham
boulder
museum
of
contemporary
arts,
I'm
going
to
refer
to
them
as
bamoka,
because
at
this
late
hour
I
can't
get
that
out
every
single
time
without
stumbling
on
it.
So
bamoka
came
to
staff
with
a
request
to
utilize
the
funds
that
they
received
through
the
2017
community
culture,
safety,
tax
renewal
for
a
new
location
in
north
boulder,
and
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please.
U
So,
just
for
a
little
bit
of
background
during
the
council
conversations,
staff
recommended
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
facility
that
bamoka
is
currently
in
for
electrical
and
lighting
repairs,
brick
repairs
and
catering
kitchen
upgrades.
This
was
primarily
based
on
the
fact
that
the
east
bookend
planning
process
was
still
underway,
and
the
outcome
of
that
funding
planning
process
was
unknown.
U
During
council
conversations,
council
recommended
one
million
dollar
matching
grant
for
bomoka
for
phase
one
renovations
and
we'll
just
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please,
which
resulted
in
ballot
language
that
included
approximately
one
million
dollars
for
the
bamoca
museum
renovation
upon
receiving
the
request
from
bomoca
staff
touched
base
with
our
city
attorney's
office,
and
we
determined
that
because
of
the
language
that
was
in
the
ballot
that
wasn't
a
decision
that
staff
could
make.
So
it
was
more
of
a
policy
decision
for
council,
so
we're
coming
back
to
you
today.
So.
U
I
think
we
can
move
just
to
the
questions,
so
the
first
question
for
council
tonight
is:
should
staff
come
back
with
prepared
motion
to
allow
bamoka
to
utilize
the
2017
ccs
funds
for
a
new
facility
in
north
boulder
and,
as
we
discussed
in
the
memo
one
consideration,
this
brings
is
that
that
would
mean
that
there
are
funds
that
were
originally
anticipated
for
a
city
asset
that
would
no
longer
be
left
for
that
asset.
U
So
does
council
wish
to
approve
the
full
million
dollars
or
some
different
amount,
and
then
also
the
timeline
for
the
project
has
changed
partially
because
of
the
east
bookend
planning
process
that
was
underway
and
pomoka's
patience
with
with
us,
as
we
worked
through
that,
but
also,
as
we
heard
earlier
today,
because
of
a
global
pandemic
that
affected
not
only
bamoka
but
other
of
our
non-profit
partners,
abilities
to
fundraise
for
large
capital
projects
in
the
city.
U
So
the
second
question
for
council
tonight
is:
should
staff
prepare
motion
language
to
delegate
authority
to
the
city
manager,
to
approve
extensions
for
the
ccs
agreements,
staff
recommended
12
to
24
months
being
the
term
of
that
delegation
and
so
we'd
appreciate
council's
preference
on
the
amount
of
additional
time
and
with
that
I'm
actually
done,
and
I
I
saw
a
hand,
go
up.
H
Thank
you
so
much
bob
you're
first.
N
Thanks
thanks
jill,
that's
that's
great
I'll
I'll
answer
your
questions
in
reverse,
or
actually
your
second
question.
I
have
a
question
on
your
first
question
and
your
second
question.
Yes,
I
think
we
should
do
an
extension.
You
know
the
I
know
that
we're
still
in
covet
and
we're
not
through
it
yet,
but
I
always
think
of
the
covet
period
as
roughly
two
years
from
march
of
2020
to
spring
of
this
year.
God
willing-
and
so
it
seems
to
me-
there's
some
logic
to
extending
the
deadline.
N
I
know
vamok
is
not
the
only
organization
that
hasn't
quite
met
its
match,
there's
a
couple
others
out
there
as
well
that
are
working
on
it.
So
my
suggestion
would
be
to
go
to
the
upper
limit
of
the
12
to
24
months,
that
staff
recommended
and
just
make
it
two
years
and
just
take
that
deadline
out
two
years.
N
With
respect
to
your
first
question,
I
do
have
a
question.
I
know
that
there
was.
There
was
some
deferred
maintenance
on
what's
referred
to
as
the
cold
storage
building,
which
is
where
bamok
is
now
and
if,
if
vamoka
takes
the
the
full
million
dollar
match
to
its
new
location
in
nobo,
which
I
think
is
great,
I'm
I'm
supportive
of
that,
and
it's
not
critical
of
that
idea.
But
it's
really
more
of
a
question
for
for
you,
joel
or
somebody
on
staff.
N
I
don't
know
if
it
was
exactly
the
east,
bookend
or
maybe
central
park,
but
that
zone
could
we
could
we
use
some
of
that
four
million
for
that
deferred
maintenance
on
the
the
cold
storage
building,
if
mocha
doesn't
use
it
and
takes
it
up
to
north
boulder.
U
Thank
you
bob
excuse
me.
Thank
you
for
those
questions.
Let's
see,
I
know
allie
was
here
before
I'm
not
sure
if
allie
rhodes
is
still
on,
I
don't
believe
so
so
I'll
do
my
best
to
answer
that
and
I'll
ask
car
or
others
to
chime
in.
So
I
believe
that
the
the
money
and
project
that
was
anticipated
with
the
2021
renewal
was
for
the
civic
area
phase
two
so
mainly
park
and
hardscape
improvements
and
connections
improvements.
U
O
I'm
happy
to
jump
in
if
you
want
joel-
and
I
would
just
I
would
agree-
yes,
that
that
was
what
we
specifically
flagged
in
ccrs,
but
I
think
bob
to
your
question.
That's
something
probably
a
few
years
here
in
the
future,
and
we
have
unallocated
ccrs
money.
There's
also
going
to
be
a
very
extensive
community
conversation
on
kind
of
what
the
east
booking
should
be
now,
as
we
start
to
kind
of
pick
that
back
up
here
in
the
next
few
years.
O
So
I
think
there
are
options
and
opportunities
for
us
to
look
at
funding
sources
for
any
of
the
work
that
needs
to
be
done
on
on
the
building
in
the
future.
N
That's
great
guys.
I
really
appreciate
that
so
and
answer
your
question
joel.
Yes,
I
support
allowing
vamoka
to
take
the
million
dollars
up
to
their
new
project
inobo.
I
support
a
two-year
extension
and
I
just
don't
want
us
to
lose
sight
of
the
deferred
maintenance
on
the
cold
storage
building,
as
we
think
about
what
that
might
be
in
the
future.
Thanks.
E
Thanks
juni
and
joel,
I
appreciate
the
the
work
on
this
and
I
also
want
to
say
thank
you
to
david
and
all
the
staff
at
bimoka
for
for
their
work
and
also
their
creative
thinking
and
starting
to
think
about
a
new
way
to
reimagine
and
an
evolution
for
for
b
moca
and
really
taking
what
has
been
a
sort
of
a
crown
jewel
of
sort
of
our
arts
community
to
the
next
level.
So
I'm
really
quite
proud
of
that
imagination
and
the
steps
to
go
there.
E
To
answer
these
two
questions,
I
support
the
transferring
of
that
million
dollars.
I
think
that's
just
a
good
investment
for
for
a
critical
part
of
our
community
in
terms
of
arts,
and
I-
and
I
agree
with
bob
that
extending
out
to
24
months
is
the
prudent
decision
just
because
we're
still
sort
of
in
some
uncertain
times
and
want
to
provide
some
maximum
flexibility
for
everyone
to
reach
their
match.
E
So,
but
but
I
will
also
note
and
just
sort
of
mark,
for
you
know,
staff
and
council
colleagues
mark
and
I
serve
on
on
the
as
a
council
reps
for
for
b
moca
on
their
board.
There
are
a
couple
things
that
I
would
just
sort
of
flag
that
that
we
should
be
thinking
about,
maybe
sooner
rather
than
later,
as
they
get
a
little
bit
into
their
design
processes.
E
There's
going
to
be,
maybe
some
zoning
quirks
that
we
might
need
to
tackle,
particularly
regarding
liquor,
license
and
proximity
to
a
school
ceiling
heights
on
one
or
two
floors
and
how
that's
going
to
be
allowed
given
where
they're
at,
and
so
I
know
that
we
can
do
those
things,
but
I
think
it's
important
for
us,
especially
when
we're
dealing
with
a
big
capital
improvement
that
we
tackle
those
things
ahead
of
time,
so
that
we
don't
have
money
or
resources
spent
or
wasted
waiting
for
us
to
make
clear
decisions
on
what
they
can
and
can't
do
so.
E
So
I
think
those
are
just
some
things
I'd
like
to
raise.
You
know
just
going
forward,
and
hopefully
we
can
tackle
them
sooner
rather
than
later
before
they
get
too
far
down
the
path
of
design
and
or
capital
fundraising
for
for
a
specific
kind
of
project,
and
that's
yourself,
but
anyway,
this
is
all
great
stuff.
So,
thanks
for
your
work
on
it.
D
And
so
thanks
for
bringing
this
forward,
I
really
appreciate
the
staff's
work
on
analyzing
this
you
know
before
this
year
I
was
the
council
representative
on
the
bemunkus
board
for
several
years
and
they're
such
a
great
organization
and
group
to
work
with.
D
I
see
the
director
and
deputy
director
here
tonight,
david
de
donai
and
gwyneth
barrack,
thanks
for
being
here
tonight
and
I
you
know,
I
watched
how
the
board
was
trying
to
work
to
accommodate
momoka's
expansion
and
improvement
plans
within
the
context
of
the
east
book
end,
and
you
know
for
for
no
one's
particular
fault.
The
eastbook
and
planning
process
is
taking
much
much
longer
than
it
had
been
initially
thought,
but
they
were
a
patient
partner,
but
at
a
certain
point
they
realized.
D
It
was
going
to
take
us,
probably
another,
five
or
ten,
more
years,
to
figure
out
the
whole
thing
and
came
up
with
this
really
creative
relocation
plan
which
I'm
really
excited
about
in
in
nobo
right
in
the
nobel
arts
district
across
the
street,
from
our
new
branch
library
that's
getting
constructed.
D
So
I
think
it'll
have
a
really
impressive
catalytic
effect
on
that
burgeoning
art
district
up.
In
the
north
part
of
boulder,
but
it's
also
in
a
great
location
in
that
it's
right
next
to
the
city's
largest
mobile
home
park
across
the
street
or
right
down
the
street
from
another
mobile
home
park
and
then
within
a
walking
distance
of
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
additional
affordable
housing
units,
so
it'll
bring
art
and
into
the
the
neighborhoods
and
homes
of
a
lot
of
people
who
don't
regularly
have
the
opportunity
to
access
that
kind
of
cutting-edge
art.
D
Currently,
so
I'm
very
excited
about
it.
I
absolutely
support
transferring
the
one
million
dollars
to
the
location
and
also
the
24
month
extra
time,
and
I
look
forward
to
bomoko's
continued
success
and
new
plans.
Thanks.
P
Juni,
you
can't
be
muted,
you're,
the
boss,
a
couple
things.
I
agree
with
matt
we're
going
to
need
to
tackle
a
few
issues
and
it's
probably
better
to
get
around
to
it
as
early
as
we
can,
such
as
the
liquor
license
issue.
You
know
those
art
lovers
are
pretty
dangerous
when
they
get
loaded.
P
I
am,
I
am
supportive
of
transferring
the
funds,
but
I
want
to
at
least
raise
the
question
of
whether
there
ought
to
be
any
effort
on
the
part
of
bimocha
to
do
some
of
the
fundraising
that
they
have
committed
to
do
and
for
the
for
the
original
grant
they
were
going
to
have
to
do
it
on
a
matching
fun
basis.
P
I
want
to
at
least
raise
the
issue
of
whether
it's
appropriate
for
them
to
be
putting
some
skin
in
the
game
now
as
well.
I'm
also
concerned.
Are
we
going
to
have
any
community
outreach
with
respect
to
this
transfer?
P
I
assume
it
will
be
widely
approved,
but
it
may
be
useful
to
you
know,
get
some
other
opinions
on
it
and
with
respect
to
the
extension
of
the
ccs
agreements,
that's
an
easy
one.
I
would
empower
the
city
manager
to
go
up
to
two
years
and
I
think
that's
great,
and
I
assume
that
there's
nothing
in
the
original
grant.
That
creates
a
legal
impediment
for
us
to
do
the
transfer
in
terms
of
the
specificity
of
the
grant
in
its
original
form
teresa.
Can
you
confirm
that
there's
no
issue
there.
B
Good
evening,
council
teresa
taylor,
tate
city
attorney,
it's
my
understanding
that
our
office
did
analyze
this
and
that
the
restriction
really
is
about
receiving
council
approval
at
this
time.
So
I
wasn't
made
aware
of
anything
in
the
agreement
that
would
bear
on
this.
I
do
understand
the
matching
requirement
to
still
be
applicable,
though.
P
Okay,
perhaps
we
should
ask
our
representatives
from
bmoka
whether
that's
something
that
they
would
be
prepared
to
to
live
with.
M
Hi
everyone-
this
is
davito
done,
executive,
director
and
chief
curator,
and
thank
you
for
bringing
b
marcus
request
to
the
conversation
so
mark.
To
answer
your
question:
yes,
we
are
embarked,
we
have
embarked
in
a
in
a
capital
campaign
and-
and
we
expect
to
match
the
million
dollars
and
actually
raise
all
the
funds
to
to
be
able
to
to
build
the
new
facility
north
boulder.
So
and
you.
A
Well,
hello,
everybody!
I
remember
when
back
in
2017,
I
was
actually
on
that
community
culture
and
safety
tax
working
group-
and
I
remember
bimoka,
making
the
presentation
and
how
excited
we
all
were
so
in
the
spirit
of
that
and
I'm
only
speaking
for
myself.
Obviously,
there
were
other
people
on
that
working
group
on
this.
In
the
spirit
of
that
2017
working
group.
From
my
standpoint,
I
agree
that
they
should
be
able
to
move
to
north
boulder
and
transfer
those
funds,
and
so
I'm
really
excited
about
that.
A
North
boulder
is
the
our
designated
arts
district
with
such
a
large
population
of
artists,
but
I
also
think
that
it's
going
to
really
add
give
us
that
anchor
that
we
need
and
make
it
even
more
vibrant
than
it
is
now
and
increase
the
tourism
in
that
area.
You
also
think
the
current
building
is
not
sustainable
for
current
growth.
It's
just
too
small
and
plus
david
david
just
said
that
he
already
has
people
someone
willing
to
donate
land
and
he's
work.
He
already
has
the
funding
or
is
on
his
way
to
the
funding.
I
Yeah,
I
am,
I
agree.
I
support
both
of
these.
I
think
you
know
in
terms
of
the
question
of
the
tax,
the
language
in
the
on
the
ballot,
I
think
that
the
community
probably
intended
to
support
bimocca
rather
than
like
the
renovation
of
a
city-owned
building.
So
I
think
that
that
all
of
this
sounds
like
it's
in
line
with
what
the
community
intended
and
I
fully
support
it.
Thanks.
J
Yep
hi
david
and
thanks
for
the
presentation
to
staff
to
me,
the
question
is
sort
of
should
that
million
dollars
attach
to
be
mocha
or
to
the
property,
and
I
think
it's
perfectly
consistent
with
the
voter
intent
and
the
ballot
language
to
let
it
follow,
be
moka
the
organization
to
north
boulder,
so
I'm
supportive
of
the
million
dollars
going
north
and
I'm
supportive
of
the
two-year
extension
to
make
sure
that
we
line
everything
up
that
we
need
to.
So
I
think
it's
a
question
of
authorizing
nuria
to
approve
extension.
H
All
righty,
thank
you
is
there.
Well,
I
can
make
a
comment
as
well.
I'd
say
yes
to
everything.
I
don't
need
to
add
any
more
than
what
council
has
already
said
and
thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
you're
doing
in
the
community
david.
Thank
you
so
much
do
you
have
any
follow-up
comments
you
want
to
make.
M
We
need
the
community's
feedback
and
council
feedback
would
be
also
fantastic,
so
we're
working
with
a
couple
of
consultants
that
are
going
to
be
reaching
out
to
the
community,
and
particularly
the
community
in
north
boulder,
so
engaging
everyone
and
gathering
their
thoughts
about
how
can
we
better
serve
the
community
would
be
fantastic.
Thank
you.
Everyone.
H
D
Just
a
question
to
staff
on
this
matter
that
we
just
discussed
about
the
moca
reallocation.
When
would
we
see
a
formal
motion
to
approve
that
change.
U
Thank
you
mayor,
so
thank
you
for
the
the
clear
guidance
we'll
work
with
city
clerk's
office
to
get
this
scheduled
as
quickly
as
we
can
and
to
answer
a
question
that
was
left
unanswered
for
council
member
wallach.
U
I'm
sorry
I
don't,
but
I
will
I'll
chat
with
our
city
clerk
in
the
morning
and
we'll
get
back
to
you
as
soon
as
we
can.
