A
B
All
right!
Well,
so
if
we
could
get
Channel
8
started,
we
don't
want
to
deprive
our
viewers
of
Matt's.
B
Great
okay,
Tara,
okay,
well
good
evening,
everyone
and
welcome
to
the
December
1st
2022
meeting
of
the
Boulder
City
Council.
It's
wonderful
to
have
you
all
here
in
person
and
as
well
as
the
folks
who
are
joining
us
remotely
and
we're
going
to
start
with
a.
What
we
now
have
is
a
tradition:
somebody's
got
it
Matt.
You
want
to
tell
us
a
quick
dad
joke.
D
Thank
you,
mayor,
Brackett,
so
trying
to
find
one
topically
relevant,
we're
going
to
go
in
the
transportation
sector
since
Natalie
and
her
team
are
going
to
be
in
the
hot
seat.
So
what's
the
saddest
form
of
transportation.
D
B
Right
got
a
better
reception
that
time
than
usual
man
all
right.
So
we'll
move
right
on
into
the
one
announcement
that
we
have
tonight.
So
this
is
about
covid-19
vaccinations
so
for
information
and
provider
locations
for
free
covid-19
testing
go
to
www.bocode.org,
covet
testing
and
the
boulder
site,
for
that
is
it
2445
stazio
drive
it's
open
seven
days
a
week
from
8
AM
to
6
p.m,
and
for
vaccine
information
and
provider
locations
go
to
www.bocode.org
covid
vaccine
and
with
that
I
will
now
gavel
us
to
order
and
do
a
roll
call.
C
B
F
B
Thanks
so
much
all
right
so
now
we
need
a
motion
to
amend
our
agenda
to
add
two
things.
One
is
item:
one:
a
a
Colorado
Springs
lgbtq
plus
Community
Support
declaration
and
one
C
consideration
of
a
motion
to
suspend
Council
rules
or
procedures
to
allow
for
three
substantive
public
hearings
and
to
remove
one
B,
which
was
a
motion
to
approve
election
returns
as
those
are
not
quite
ready
yet
so
moved.
G
B
B
B
B
As
a
society,
we
have
a
moral
obligation
to
work
together
to
create
a
welcoming
place
for
everyone.
Our
lgbtq
plus
community
members
should
not
bear
this
burden
alone.
It's
incumbent
on
each
and
every
one
of
us,
no
matter
our
own
identities,
to
join
together
to
protect
and
support
people
who
face
exclusion,
discrimination
and
inequity
because
simply
of
who
they
are.
If
we
do
not
all
stand
together,
then
we
ourselves
are
complicit
in
that
hatred
and
violence.
B
Therefore,
we,
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
Boulder,
Colorado,
declare
our
solidarity
with
those
killed
and
injured
at
Club
Q
on
November
19
2022,
with
the
City
of
Colorado
Springs
and
with
all
lgbtq
plus
people,
wherever
they
may
live,
and
for
those
in
our
own
Community
who
are
in
need
of
additional
support.
In
this
hard
time,
queer
asterisk
is
able
to
help
direct
people
to
resources.
G
In
1990,
the
federal
government
passed
the
Americans
with
Disability
Act,
the
Ada,
which
underscores
the
values
of
equal
access
and
equal
opportunity
for
people
with
disabilities
and
upholds
that
all
people
are
entitled
to
a
set
of
fundamental
freedoms
and
protection,
regardless
of
ability
status.
We
acknowledge
the
long
history
of
isolation
and
discrimination
of
people
with
disabilities
and
esteem,
the
Decades
of
activism
and
advocacy
by
the
disability
Community
to
to
combat
systemic
exclusion
and
Injustice.
These
Champions
have
paved
the
way
for
more
individuals
with
disabilities
to
pursue
their
full
measure
of
happiness.
G
Despite
the
Ada,
there
are
enduring
challenges
for
this
community
that
require
ongoing
support
so
that
they
may
enjoy
the
same
levels
of
protections
and
Service
as
others.
They
face
physical,
social
and
attitudinal
barriers
and
are
more
likely
to
experiencing
to
experience,
co-occurring
health
challenges
and
higher
health
care
costs
and,
as
a
result,
many
live
in
poverty
and
are
underemployed
or
unemployed.
G
The
city
of
Boulder
strives
to
exceed
the
requirements
set
forth
in
the
Ada
and
to
create
a
welcoming
and
supportive
Community.
This
is
in
line
with
the
importance
the
community
places
on
being
a
city
that
supports
those
with
disabilities,
as
affirmed
in
the
recent
Parks
and
Recreation
master
plan,
where
92
percent
of
respondents
said
that
serving
our
community
members
with
disabilities
is
very
important
and
essential.
G
To
that
end,
the
city's
expand
program
has
been
providing
Recreation
and
leisure
activities
to
propone
inclusion,
health
and
connection.
Since
1980.,
despite
the
isolating
nature
of
the
covid-19
pandemic,
expand
participants
were
able
to
stay
connected
through
online
programming,
which
provided
an
important
space
for
rich
company
building
skills
and
Community,
as
well
as
promoting
emotional
and
physical
wellness
expands
Mission.
G
Creating
a
community
of
all
abilities
through
Recreation
is
strengthened
by
a
strong
community
of
participants,
athletes,
parents
care
providers,
partner
agencies,
Boulder
Park
and
Recreation
staff,
and
the
Boulder
Community,
who
continue
to
support
programs
and
services
for
people
with
disabilities
with
over
100
programs.
Three
camps
and
2
000
participants
in
2022
expand,
continues
to
grow
and
change
to
best
support
the
inclusion
of
people
with
disabilities.
G
We,
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
Boulder,
Colorado,
declare
December
3rd
2022
as
International
Day
of
persons
with
disabilities
day
and
urge
our
city,
government
and
community
members
to
commit
to
the
ongoing
work
of
advancing
the
experience
and
protection
for
people
with
disabilities
get
to
know
these
Unique
Individuals
and
their
lived
experience
so
that
we
understand
how
systems
could
better
serve
them.
Share
and
listen
to
their
stories
of
joy
and
Community.
Significance
lead
with
compassion
and
empathy
so
that
we
create
a
city
for
everyone
to
thrive.
H
Hi,
my
name
is
Bella
Larson
I
have
developmental
disabilities
in
a
proud
participate
in
the
city
of
Voters
experiment
program.
I'm
honored,
to
accept
this
declaration
for,
on
the
behalf
of
expand
I
like
to
think
City
count
so
in
the
city
of
border.
For
this
declaration
and
for
your
support
of
the
disability
community
expand
is
a
very
important
part
of
my
life.
I've
been
participating
and
expand
for
21
years
since
I
was
eight
since
participating
and
expand
over
the
years.
H
I
have
done
a
lot
of
activities,
including
silly
Saturdays,
gymnastics
for
for
hockey,
basketball
swimming,
but
soon
Beyond,
cooking,
dancing
and
much
more
expand
as
big
part
of
my
life.
It's
for
my
friends
too,
almost
everyone
I
know
has
a
disability,
participates
an
experience.
It's
a
great
place
to
exercise
socialize,
learn
new
things
and
come
together
as
a
community,
but
volunteers
and
the
people
who
work
for
expand
are
amazing.
They're
are
my
friends
more
than
anything
it's
a
lot
of
fun.
H
B
B
B
Our
rules
that
rule
is
suspended
for
the
evening
all
right
now,
it's
time
for
open
comment
and
I
believe
Brenda
rittenauer
will
be
doing
reading
our
rules
of
participation.
J
Be
joining
you
from
our
Zoom
call
today
to
share
our
meeting
guidelines
together
and
to
facilitate
our
virtual
participation
this
evening.
So
Emily,
if
you
wouldn't
mind
bringing
up
those
slides,
that
would
be
great.
J
So
I
know
that
many
of
you
who
are
here
with
us
tonight
may
have
seen
these
many
times,
and
we
appreciate
your
patience
as
we
go
over
them
again
for
folks
who
may
not
be
as
familiar.
The
city
has
engaged
with
community
members
to
co-create
a
vision
for
productive,
meaningful
and
inclusive
Civic
conversations.
This
vision
is
designed
to
support
the
physical
and
emotional
safety
of
community
members
staff
and
Council,
as
well
as
supporting
democracy
for
people
of
all
ages.
J
J
J
All
remarks
and
testimony
shall
be
limited
to
matters
related
to
City
business.
No
participant
shall
make
threats
or
use
other
forms
of
intimidation
against
any
person,
obscenity,
racial
epithets
and
other
speech
and
behavior
that
disrupts
or
otherwise
impedes
the
ability
to
conduct
the
meeting
are
prohibited.
J
Participants
are
required
to
sign
up
to
speak
using
the
name
they
are
commonly
known
by,
and
individuals
online
must
display
their
whole
name
before
being
allowed
to
speak.
Currently,
only
audio
testimony
is
permitted.
Online
in-person
participants
are
asked
to
refrain
from
expressing
support
or
disagreement
verbally
in
order
to
keep
it
a
well
welcoming
space
for
all
perspectives.
Traditionally,
support
is
shown
silently
if
you
wish,
through
American,
Sign,
Language,
Applause
or
jazz
hands
like
this.
B
So
much
Brenda
all
right,
so
we're
going
to
do
all
our
in-person
folks.
First
I'll
read
three
names
at
a
time,
and
so,
when
you're
like
the
next
one
up,
please
get
ready
and
come
on
down
so
and
people
get
two
minutes
to
speak.
Our
first
three
speakers
are
Jess
Lou
van
Bruce,
arant
and
Todd
Hatfield.
K
My
applications
have
been
through
five
reviews,
none
of
which
have
been
delivered
on
time
and
for
the
past
six
months
of
building
permit
review
three
of
those
months
have
simply
been
waiting
for
City
staff
to
get
caught
up
on
their
queue
as
a
first-time
small
business
owner,
who
represents
an
important
demographic
here.
A
woman
and
a
minority
I
have
been
utterly
disappointed
by
the
process.
From
the
lack
of
responsiveness
of
City
staff,
as
you
can
see
in
my
example,
one
of
many
takes
four
emails.
Two
phone
calls
to
get
a
response.
K
K
Over
the
past
few
days,
I've
actually
been
collecting
signatures
in
support
of
my
beer
and
wine
license
I've
spoken
to
over
50
plus
businesses
on
Pearl
Street.
Not
one
of
them
has
had
a
positive
thing
to
say
about
the
city
of
Boulder.
I
quote
it's
a
shame
to
say,
but
it's
the
truth.
Small
businesses
thrive
in
spite
of
the
city
of
Boulder,
not
because
of
them.
K
L
K
It's
1647
Pearl
Street
unit
2
and
it
will
be
called
Creature
Comforts.
M
Hello
van
Bruce
rant
Morrison
Colorado
I
just
want
to
make
you
aware
and
give
you
notice
that
there
are
some
ordinances
on
your
books
that
are
more
than
likely
would
not
be
able
to
sustain
being
challenged
and
could
be
illegal
and
definitely
or
unenforceable.
M
The
majority
of
them
in
title
V
under
General
offenses,
come
under
the
5.8
Weapons
Part
of
your
code,
5.84
8,
9,
10,
11,
12,
21,
27,
28,
39,
40
and
41.
M
would
are
all
this
is
very
challengable
and
would
probably
not
survive
in
a
in
an
appellate
situation,
maybe
locally
they
would,
but
unfortunately,
they
won't
and
I
understand,
you're,
probably
thinking
Bruce.
This
is
the
majority
of
our
Common
Sense
gun
control.
Why
are
you
saying
it's
unenforceable?
M
It's
a
matter
of
four
different
Supreme
Court
decisions
that
have
come
down.
The
first
one
was
in
2008
District
of
Columbia
versus
Heller.
In
that
one
the
court
provided
U.S
citizens
with
the
individual
right
to
possess
arms,
unconnected.
N
M
Service
in
the
militia,
so
they
took
the
militia
part
out
of
it,
and
the
Second
Amendment
is
extended
to
arms
that
are
not
that
were
not
in
existence.
At
the
time
of
the
founding,
then
two
years
later,
McDonald
vs
Chicago.
They
said
the
second
amendment
protects
against
state
infringements.
That
would
be
you
guys
also
that
you
could
possess
arms
for
self-defense
outside
the
home,
then
came
in
2016,
katano,
vs,
Massachusetts
and
then
finally,
Serpa
versus
Bruins.
B
Bruce
I'm
afraid
your
time
is
up,
but
if
you'd
like
to
email
us
the
rest
of
your
comments,
please
do
all
right
will
do.
Okay.
Thank
you.
I
have
Todd
Hatfield,
Kent,
Welly
and
Mary
Wright.
O
Hello,
my
name
is
Todd
Hatfield,
with
two
D's
I
moved
here
from
Chicago
in
2019.
I
was
on
several
board
committees
within
the
city
of
Chicago
and
I'm,
just
here
to
discuss
the
public
safety
and
homeless
issue
that
seems
to
be
continuing
to
develop
within
the
city
Boulder.
We
have
two
major
assets
here
within
this
town
that
would
be
Boulder,
Creek
and
Pearl
Street,
and
these
are
becoming
further
and
further
overrun.
O
I'm
going
to
comment
on
the
homeless,
shelter
strategy
from
2017
written
by
your
predecessors,
possibly
and
I,
want
to
point
out
that
one
of
the
goals
here
within
this
is
to
it's
goal
number
six.
O
It
would
be
to
protect
people
in
interest
of
going
down
to
these
public
spaces
and
I
think
that
these
things
are,
you
know,
frankly,
not
being
occurring
with
the
homeless
people
I'm
not
here
to
bash
homeless.
I
understand
I've
also
read,
and
we
use
this
in
Chicago,
quite
a
bit
by
the
National
Law
Center
of
homeless
and
poverty
that
talks
about
criminalization
of
homeless
people
and
your
testimony
here
or
status
for
the
homeless
strategy
talks
about
wanting
to
use
other
local
communities
for
data
testing
on
things
like
that.
O
O
But
you
know
we
had
a
public
camp
right
here
across
the
street
for
three
weeks
with
seven
or
eight
tenths
people,
burning
fires,
I
work
downtown
every
day
and
I
see
people,
urinating,
defecating
doing
drugs
in
public
space,
and
it
just
seems
to
be
allowed
to
happen
so
I'm
just
asking
a
challenge
that
when
are
we
going
to
take
harder
stances
on
these
issues?
Okay,.
O
B
P
Mary
Wright,
who
wasn't
able
to
make
it
tonight,
dear
City
Council
Members
I
moved
to
Boulder
in
August
of
1976.
I
spent
four
years
at
the
University
of
Colorado
I've,
been
a
property
owner
since
1982
I,
currently
work
for
Morgan
Stanley
on
the
downtown
corner
of
Broadway
and
Canyon,
and
have
been
with
them
for
25
years,
I've
loved
the
city
dearly
for
over
45
years,
I'm
very
disturbed
by
the
change
our
city
has
experienced
over
the
last
five
years,
or
so.
P
We
must
call
on
our
leadership
to
address
the
homeless
and
safety
problems
in
the
city.
I
did
not
used
to
feel
unsafe
in
my
community
and
now
I
do
I'm
a
single
woman
who
now
on
a
regular
basis,
experiences
people
lurking
in
dark
Corners,
defecating
on
the
street
in
broad
daylight,
shooting
up
drugs
and
smoking
pot
in
our
community
park
and
Bandstand.
This
is
completely
unacceptable.
Specifically
I
have
seen
a
person
laying
on
a
bench
on
Canyon
Boulevard
at
four
o'clock
P.M
in
the
afternoon.
P
Shooting
up
drugs
on
my
way
to
my
car
after
work,
I
have
had
a
stranger
jump
out
of
a
bush
on
the
Boulder
Creek
path
and
scream
right
in
my
face
in
an
attempt
to
scare
and
threaten
me
I've
seen
a
child
at
the
farmers
market,
pick
up
a
crack
pipe
and
ask
him
ask
his
mother.
What
is
this?
These
are
just
a
couple
of
horrifying
events
that
I'm
witnessing
on
a
daily
basis.
P
I
no
longer
feel
safe,
and
this
is
not
right,
I'm,
a
taxpayer
and
a
law-abiding
citizen
and
should
not
have
to
be
at
risk
on
a
daily
basis.
The
city
must
do
something
about
the
state
of
the
downtown
area.
The
current
situation
is
unacceptable.
People
should
not
be
allowed
to
set
up
tents
downtown
even
for
a
moment.
People
should
not
be
allowed
to
congregate
in
the
Band
Stand.
They
use
profane
language,
they
use
their
Garb,
they
leave
their
garbage
and
they
accost
people
on
a
regular
basis.
P
We
must
clean
up
our
city
for
the
safety
of
all
I,
currently
live
at
the
Peloton
at
33rd
and
Arapahoe.
The
problems
of
homeless
and
strange
people
lying
in
the
foyer
and
threatening
people
around
the
property
is
also
present.
This
property
is
on
the
same
street
as
the
police's
Police
Department.
It
doesn't
seem
to
help
and
it
doesn't
seem
like
our
law
enforcement
is
doing
enough
to
protect
our
community
I.
Don't
know
why
this
is
not
a
top
priority
for
our
city.
That's
Mary,
Wright,.
P
From
Lori
Boyd
I
would
first
like
to
thank
the
council
members
for
providing
a
platform
and
giving
us
the
chance
to
speak.
We
appreciate
your
work
and
all
that
you're
doing
to
help
make
Boulder
A
Better
Community.
My
name
is
Lori
Boyd
absent
and
have
worked
in
the
city
of
Boulder
for
close
to
a
decade.
P
I've
noticed
significant
changes
in
the
city
of
Boulder,
specifically
around
my
workplace,
near
Walnut
and
Broadway,
the
Vibrant
Community
that
has
shaped
so
many
people's
experiences
of
the
city
of
Boulder
and
the
area
around
Pearl
Street
has
become
mirrored
by
an
increasing
transient
population
that
seemingly
has
little
regard
for
the
community.
We
support
specifically
outside
of
my
office
near
Walnut
and
Broadway.
It
seems
I,
witness,
weekly
public
urination,
random
people
being
accosted,
panhandling
on
all
sides
of
our
Professional
Services
building
and
general
harassment.
P
Colleagues
of
mine
have
been
attacked
on
and
our
customers
clients
employees
no
longer
feel
safe.
Coming
into
our
place
of
business.
Most
recently,
I
saw
an
encampment
encampment
along
a
pathway
blocking
a
public
way
near
Canyon
and
Broadway
commuters
and
Walkers
were
forced
to
walk
around
and
avoid
being
harassed
by
some
folks
who
decided
to
put
their
sleeping
quarters
in
a
public
walkway.
Two
weeks
ago,
I
was
confronted
by
two
individuals
in
the
hallway
of
my
workplace.
P
Clearly,
on
some
sort
of
drug
pleading,
pleading
with
me
to
you
as
a
private
bathroom
in
our
Professional
Services
Suite
I
can
only
imagine
what
they
would
have
needed
that
restroom
for
and
I
encouraged
them
to
ask
the
security
desk
in
our
lobby
to
seek
help
I've
seen
needles
surrounding
our
building.
Our
building,
as
well
as
folks
found
in
sleeping
bags
camped
under
our
awnings.
On
our
first
floor,
Lori
Boyd.
Q
Q
R
Q
To
twice
voting
Millions
instead
to
sweep
them
from
illegal
Camp
to
Camp
endlessly.
Now
that
he's
seeking
higher
office
just
another
tool
in
the
toolbox,
I'm
increasing
my
reward
to
a
hundred
dollars
for
the
suppressed
camera
article
from
10
or
15
years
ago,
in
which
the
Colorado
Municipal
League
or
some
other
civic
league,
said
that
the
real
decisions
in
Boulder
are
made
in
quote
smoke-free
back
rooms,
while
Council
puts
on
a
show
for
the
public.
S
I
wanted
to
thank
Bob
for
talking
to
me
last
month.
Thank
you.
So
much
I
also
wanted
to
thank
Junie
for
responding
to
my
emails
I'm
here
to
talk
about
6,
500,
Arapahoe
annexation,
and
so
first
I
wanted
to
make
a
quick
clarification.
The
last
council
meeting
there
was
a
mention
of
a
phase,
one
environmental
report
and
what
we
had
what
I
had
mentioned,
and
what
I
believe
this
project
really
requires
is
an
environmental
impact
assessment
which
is
substantially
different
from
an
environmental
phase.
S
S
Wildlife
in
the
area
and
people
in
the
area-
and
it's
also
part
of
that,
is
looking
at
alternatives
for
the
project.
So
this
project,
this
annexation
project
and
the
factory
in
particular,
is
really
begging
for
a
traffic
study.
So
why
no
traffic
study
I
believe
the
reason
why
there's
no
comprehensive
traffic
study
looking
at
East
Arapahoe
and
the
BV
bvsd
campus
existing
conditions
and
Factory
impacts?
S
A
traffic
study
like
that
would
likely
not
be
favorable
for
the
project,
also
like
to
point
out,
there's
been
no
mention
of
Arapahoe
Avenue
updates
in
any
conversations
and
looks
like
I'm
running
out
of
time
here.
So
I
would
appreciate
no
traffic
on
60
on
63rd.
A
noise
assessment
study
should
be
completed.
If
you
get
an
acoustic
engineer
involved,
their
comments
should
be
incorporated
into
the
project.
B
T
Okay,
thank
you
hope
that
didn't
eat
into
my
time,
I'm
here
to
address
a
public
safety
emergency
that
involves
the
use
of
motor-powered
devices
on
the
multi-use
pathways
around
Boulder
I
hope
you
received
my
email
last
week
to
city
council
providing
the
details
of
a
collision
in
October
where
I
was
hit
by
a
motorized
scooter,
which
is
often
called
an
e-scooter.
The
scooter
involved
is
similar
to
the
lime
rental
scooters
around
the
city.
It's
large
bulky
metal
with
a
throttle
to
move
the
forward
the
scooter
forward.
T
It's
not
a
scooter
that
you
push
with
your
feet.
This
is
a
scooter.
That's
powered,
similar
to
a
motorcycle
with
a
throttle
on
the
handlebars
over.
Our
multi-use
paths
are
becoming
highways
for
lightweight
motorized
vehicles.
Unfortunately,
the
number
of
motorized
devices
far
exceeds
the
room
available
for
all
users.
The
city
needs
to
take
immediate
action
to
provide
safety
for
the
community
before
more
people
are
seriously
injured
or
killed.
T
I
urge
the
city
council
to
take
the
following:
immediate
action:
first,
revise
the
boulder
municipal
code
to
reclassify
lightweight
motorized
vehicles
to
be
immediately
banned
from
multi-use
Pathways,
with
the
exception
of
wheelchairs
and
other
devices
necessary
for
accessibility.
Secondly,
revise
the
code
to
require
licenses
for
motor-powered
vehicles
and
devices,
including
e-bikes
e-scooters
e-skate
boards.
Any
other
motor-powered
device
devices
that
are
powered
by
throttle
are
particularly
dangerous
and
need
additional
licensing
requirements,
especially
given
the
number
of
people
driving
them
on
our
Pathways.
T
Thirdly,
add
private
motorized
e-scooters
to
the
municipal
code,
where
shared
e-scooters
and
lime
scooters
are
referenced
and,
lastly,
revise
the
law
to
add
financial
and
other
penalties
just
like
we
have
tickets
and
fines
and
other
consequences
for
vehicles
on
the
road.
In
my
case,
the
person
who
hit
me
causing
severe
injury
is
still
able
to
ride
around
on
her
scooter
today
and
hit
someone
else.
I
urge
the
city
council
to
address
this
public
safety
emergency
immediately
to
avoid
further
harm
to
the
public
and
potential
liability
for
the
city.
Thank
you.
U
Can
you
thanks
Sombrero
annexation,
no
for
manufactured
housing?
Factory
there,
the
8,
000
foot
house,
that's
being
demolished
the
hunter.
You
know
it's
like
the
library,
it's
it's
fireproof,
you're,
probably
going
to
have
to
take
a
bomb
to
take
it
down.
How
could
this
happen
in
Boulder,
8,
000
square
feet
perfectly
perfect,
perfect
shape
building
and
with
all
the
retained
from
the
very
beginning
from
1941?
U
It's
just
stunning
that
something
like
that
could
happen.
How
can
you
allow
ldrc
to
to
to
just
okay
a
demolition
like
that?
I
have
no
idea
something's
wrong
here
Brewhouse.
This
was
part
of
311
Mapleton,
The
Academy
of
311
as
affordable
housing
for
95
seniors.
They
were
able
to
opt
out
of
that
I.
Remember
going
there
for
hours
and
hours
of
taxpayer
pay
city
staffers.
You
know
working
with
them
to
get
this
Brewhouse
Senior,
Center,
perfect
and
all
of
that
to
waste.
U
Because
you
can,
you
can
violate
the
city
of
Boulder
if,
because
you're,
if
you're
less
than
three
stories,
which
apparently
they
work
311,
you
have
the
right.
You
can
say
you're
going
to
have
on-site
facility,
which
was
their
affordable
housing
they're
at
Brewhouse,
but
you
can
get
rid
of
it
in
a
Flash,
so
Bob
what
happened?
We
talked
on
the
street
about
this
where's
Brewhouse
I
want
to
know
now.
As
far
as
light
tech
funds,
low-income
housing,
tax
credits,
these
are
costing
the
city
of
Boulder.
R
Can
you
hear
me
it
is
my
slide
up?
Yes
there.
It
is
thank
you
for
your
consideration
and
questions
about
the
habitat
Factory
at
the
meeting
two
weeks
ago.
The
significant
discussion
about
trucks
on
65th
instead
of
63rd
were
the
approximate,
the
10
trucks
per
month
and
less
production
scales
up
operational
delivery.
Trucks
did
not
include
the
approximately
2
000
very
big
trucks,
just
in
2023.
R
These
will
haul
out
old
pavement
bring
in
the
20
000
cubic
yards
of
fill
new
pavement
construction
equipment
and
Factory
materials.
We
will
hear
constant
construction
noise
in
2023
comments
about
moving
trucks
to
off
hours
or
weekends,
May
violate
draft
IGA
hours
and
won't
work
for
neighbors
or
the
factory
Builders.
Also,
please
push
to
get
the
openings
closed
during
operation
clause
in
the
IGA.
We
will
hear
that
noise
forever.
R
Given
all
the
present
bvsd
traffic
congestion,
it
seems
like
there
is
no
place
for
2
000
big
trucks
in
less
than
one
year.
The
comment
from
open
space
that
staff
had
not
considered
the
construction
year
should
require
a
do-over,
since
some
of
the
20
000
yards
of
dirt
will
be
blowing
into
open
space
in
March
and
the
backup
beeps
can't
be
turned
off.
We're
still
wondering
about
another
site
for
the
factory,
but
I've
not
seen
a
list
of
other
places
considered
and
why
they
would
not
work
bvsds
buses
to
take
the
students.
R
There
is
no
sign
of
a
Good
Neighbor
policy
in
the
two
months
since
the
site
visit
the
Q.
A
session
was
closed
after
receiving
no
answers
to
some
of
the
questions
and
some
people
with
their
hands
up
were
not
given
time
to
ask
their
question.
The
second
session
should
have
been
scheduled,
but
has
not
I
would
not
have
bought
my
house
if
I
knew
a
factory
could
be
put
in
a
public
Zone
next
to
a
residential
neighborhood.
R
B
V
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
hello?
My
name
is
Clay
Thompson
and
I'm
also
calling
about
the
6500
Arapahoe
annexation
and
proposed
industrial
Factory
I'm,
having
a
hard
time
understanding
what
the
point
of
the
factory
is
and
why
you're
circumventing
your
own
zoning
code
I
think
we
need
to
be
transparent
and
clear
that
you're
abusing
your
Authority
by
allowing
an
industrial
Factory
that
is
prohibited
in
an
area
that
is
zoned
a
public
Zone.
V
Most
of
us
want
reasonable
housing
and
appreciate
the
idea
of
modular
housing,
but
this
prohibited
industrial
build
in
a
public
Zone
would
be
the
last
plan
that
you
would
use.
If
this
was
your
goal,
there
are
much
better
options
for
spending
eight
and
a
half
million
dollars,
and
here
are
some
of
them.
You
could
put
effort
into
allowing
higher
densities
along
high
traffic
areas.
You
could
allow
more
adus.
You
could
increase
your
height
limits
in
these
high
traffic
areas.
V
You
really
need
to
focus
on
policy
because
you're,
not
a
home
builder
number
two,
if
you
insist
on
being
a
home
builder,
go
east
and
buy
any
number
of
cheap
commercial
buildings
and
employ
a
competent
module
or
home
builder
that
can
guide
the
process
or
create
a
partnership
and
buy
homes
from
a
modular
Builder.
Who
already
does
it?
The
fourth
option
would
be
to
go:
buy
a
commercial
building
in
Boulder
that
is
already
zone
for
industrial.
V
We
have
these
areas
set
out
in
our
Boulder
Valley
comprehensive
plan,
and
at
least
when
we
could
possibly
not
be
a
home
builder,
you
would
have
an
asset
and
speaking
of
the
Boulder
Valley
comprehensive
plan,
which
is
supposed
to
be
used
by
the
city
of
Boulder
and
Boulder
County
to
guide
long-range
planning,
where
does
becoming
a
modular
home
builder,
fit
a
plan.
It
reminds
me
of
26
million
dollars
spent
on
an
unusable
building
at
the
boulder
res
for
a
100
million
dollar
vacant
live
which
you
will
own
for
the
Boulder
Community
Hospital
project
on
Broadway.
B
Thank
you,
clay
all
right.
That
concludes.
That
concludes
our
open
comment
for
tonight.
Thanks
to
all
the
speakers,
we
have
a
staff
responses
to
need
to
open
comment.
W
Yes,
I'd
like
to
just
thank
everyone
for
both
being
in
person
or
virtual
to
speak
tonight.
One
item
I
just
wanted
to
address
was
our
first
Speaker
tonight,
miss
Lou,
who
spoke
about
her
application
with
pnds
I
did
hear
from
our
director
of
planning
and
development
services,
as
well
as
our
interim
Chief
Building
official.
That
they've
been
in
contact
with
her
and
have
another
follow-up
meeting
scheduled
for
this
coming.
Monday.
B
B
Would
be
good,
yes,
Jenny.
X
Thank
you,
mayor
bracket,
I,
think,
that's
exactly
where
I
wanted
to
add
as
well,
because
she
mentions
small
businesses
and
it
sounds
like
the
issue
might
be
systemic
and
I'm
wondering
I
can
understand.
Bigger
businesses
may
have
they
have
the
money
to
not
be
in
business
for
six
seven
eight
months
a
year,
but
when
you
have
someone
who's,
a
small
business,
a
woman
who's
trying
to
make
it
here
in
the
community,
they
should
not
have
to
be
dealing
with
a
process,
that's
taking
forever
and
then
for
them
not
to
be
in
business.
X
B
W
Yeah
I
can
address
that
and
I
know.
I
think
I
saw
Kurt
in
the
audience
as
well.
So
Kurt
correct
me.
If
I
get
this
wrong,
but
Jay
stugnet
who
works
in
our
housing
and
Human
Services
Department
was
served
essentially
as
the
project
manager
for
that
annexation.
So
he
was
not
paid
by
bbsd
but
did
assist
bbsd
in
their
application.
W
W
A
Z
Do
you
have
it
on
your
computer?
I
do
if
you
just
want
to
do
it
from
yours
and
I
can
I
can
just
tell
you
to
advance
all
right,
so
my
name
is
Garrett
Slater
I'm,
the
principal
Transportation
projects,
engineer
from
the
capital
projects,
division
of
the
transportation
and
mobility
department
and
happy
to
be
with
you
here
this
evening
to
provide
an
update
on
the
design
and
construction
standards
and
I
thought.
It
might
be
helpful
to
talk
for
a
moment
about
what
the
design
and
construction
standards
are.
Z
And
if
you
could
go
to
the
next
slide
as
a
part
of
the
the
document,
we
recognize
that
times
change
and
standards
evolve,
and
so
our
document,
the
design
and
construction
standards
should
follow
suit
and
because
we
have
a
transportation
master
plan
along
with
corresponding
plans
such
as
the
low
stress,
walk
and
bike.
Network
have
come
out
with
new
goals
and
Visions
for
what
our
transportation
system
should
look
like.
A
Z
The
DCS
is
recommending
updates
for
various
sections
to
include
Street,
geometric
design,
Landscaping
standards
site
triangles
found
within
the
boulder
Revised
Code,
as
well
as
corresponding
engineering
standard
drawings
in
chapter
11.,
and
so
I'd
like
to
note
that
this
is
what
we're
calling
the
phase
two
update,
which
is
one
step
and
a
larger,
broader
effort
to
bring
more
full-scale
updates
to
the
entirety
of
the
document.
Next
slide,.
Z
I
promise
you
that
that
is
a
public
investment,
and
if
we
were
to
find
ourselves
in
a
place
where
there
were
adjacent
property
that
were
under
development
and
had
some
sort
of
adjacent
obligation
to
prove
that
we
would
have
no
means
to
be
able
to
exact
an
obligation
to
which
they
could
build
those
improvements
to
our
desired
standard.
And
so
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we've
got
consistency
so
that,
as
private
development
comes
online
and
they're
required
to
implement
Implement
infrastructure
that
they're
doing
it
at
the
level.
Z
Our
Master
plans
want
us
to,
and
the
next
goal
is
to
make
sure
that
our
street
street
geometric
design
is
decreasing.
The
potential
for
a
conflict
between
all
all
modes
and
users
and
creating
landscape
standards
that
are
consistent
with
our
overarching
goals
and
objectives,
as
well
as
site
triangle
requirements
for
multi-use
paths
that
may
make
it
easier
for
code
enforcement
and
staff
to
be
able
to
enforce
these
site
triangles,
where
they're
located
throughout
the
network
next
slide
and
I
I.
Z
So
just
to
make
sure
that
we're
clear
on
terminology
I
thought
it
might
be
useful
also
to
talk
about
the
difference
between
a
goal
and
a
policy
versus
a
standard.
So,
in
general
terms
a
policy
says
this
is
our
goal
and
the
standard
says
this
is
how
to
accomplish
our
goal,
and
so
just
a
very
generic
example
would
say:
we
want
sidewalks
in
the
city
to
be
usable
for
everyone.
That's
a
policy.
The
standard
says
sidewalk
should
be
four
feet
wide.
Z
That's
just
a
generic
example
I'm,
not
prescribing
that
as
a
minimum
standard
should
be
six
inches
thick
of
Portland
cement
concrete
and
should
not
exceed
an
eight
percent
grade.
So,
just
to
help
you
get
an
understanding
of
the
type
of
language
that's
found,
and
the
design
and
construction
standards
is
a
document
next
slide.
Z
We
conducted
office
hours
with
the
staff
that
have
engaged
with
this
update
and
we've
reached
out
directly
to
key
stakeholders
in
the
community,
such
as
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
Community
Cycles,
the
center
for
people
with
disabilities,
to
make
sure
that
these
updates
are
reflective
of
the
the
goals
and
values
not
just
of
City
staff,
but
also
the
broader
Community.
Next
slide.
Z
So
key
items
that
are
included
in
this
update
and
were
items
that
we
heard
specifically
from
the
community
that
we
should
incorporate
into
these
updates
are
narrowing
Lane
widths
to
slow
vehicle
traffic.
That
was
something
we
heard
at
the
onset
mid-stream
throughout
the
process.
I
just
wanted
to
note
the
the
agility
of
the
team
to
incorporate
additional
comments.
As
we
were
going.
As
we
heard
a
desire
to
minimize
the
number
of
left-hand
turns
and
intersections
to
minimize
Crossing
distances
for
pedestrians,
we
made
that
revision
as
well.
Z
So
another
important
step
and
the
community
engagement
was
making
visits
to
the
transportation
Advisory
board
at
which
their
September
12th
meeting
they
unanimously
approved
and
appreciated
the
work
that
was
done
to
carry
forward
these
DCS
updates
and
next
slide
on
October
11th.
The
planning
board
also
unanimously
approved
the
recommendations
to
update
the
DCS
and
the
BRC
revisions.
They
did
make
one
purpose
and
intent
language
Amendment.
This
was
not
a
substantive
standard
update,
but
more
a
preamble.
Z
If
you
will
modification
to
address
the
need
and
purpose
to
protect
Urban's
Forest
canopy
next
slide,
so
I'm
going
to
provide
a
very
brief
overview
of
some
examples
of
the
type
of
standard
updates
that
are
included
here.
I
won't
belabor
this
let's
go
to
the
next
slide,
so
an
example
would
be
Lane
widths
for
vehicle
Lanes.
We
are
looking
to
reduce
Lane
widths,
which
we
know
has
an
effect
on
reducing
travel
speeds
for
bike
lane
widths.
Z
Z
Z
We've
also
added
a
new
chapter
on
traffic
calming
which
speaks
to
neighborhood
traffic
circles
and
introduce
raised
Crossings
as
a
new
standard.
Drawing
next
standard
excuse
me
slide,
then
related
drawings,
so
we
updated
a
number
of
existing
drawings
related
to
multi-use
paths
and
separations
and
then
introduce
new
drawings
for
curb
extensions,
floating
bus
stops
and
a
variety
of
other
elements
that
that
help
us
and
implement
the
low
stress
bike.
Network
next
slide.
Z
Chapter
3
and
10
were
updated
to
bring
the
standards
to
be
consistent
with
the
green
infrastructure
plan
for
transportation
landscape.
Nearly
every
Capital
project.
That's
undertaken
for
transportation
has
a
landscaping
component
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that
significant
investment
that's
going
into
this
green
asset
is
sustainable
and
something
that
will
last
for
for
many
years
and
that's
something
that
we
can
take
care
of
and
is
also
consistent
with
best
practices
from
our
partners
in
parks
and
rec
and
pnds
next
slide
and
finally,
updates
to
the
boulder
Revised.
Z
And
that
is
the
the
overview
that
we
wanted
to
provide
to
you
tonight
and
happy
now
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
B
F
Yeah
I
have
about
three
questions
when
you
shrink
the
the
car
Lanes
I'm.
Sorry,
when
you
shrink
the
lanes
for
automobiles,
will.
N
F
Be
monitoring
that
to
see
how
they
perform
for
Boulder
in
terms
of
accidents
and
that
sort
of
thing,
I'm,
I'm,
not
sure
everybody's,
going
to
get
the
message
that
a
narrower
Lane
means
slower
traffic
I've,
seen
a
number
of
Boulder
drivers
who
put
their
their
feet
on
the
pedal
either
way.
So
is
it
going
to
be
any
kind
of
monitoring
to
see
how
successful
this
is.
Z
F
Okay,
thanks
in
chapter
three,
all
of
the
decisions
with
respect
to
trees
are
made
by
the
city
manager.
Yet
in
Chapter
2
most
of
the
approvals
are
to
be
made
by
the
director
of
Public
Works.
F
It
seems
to
be
a
little
inconsistent
and
I
asked.
The
question
is
that
the
best
use
of
our
city
manager's
time.
W
I'll
jump
in
and
answer
that
question
the
way
we
construct
and
write
the
city
code
is
typically,
it
will
always
refer
to
the
city
manager,
and
then
we
delegate
the
authority
that
the
city
manager
has
two
various
positions
and
staff
within
the
city.
So
it's
I'd
need
to
check
our
delegations
list,
but
my
guess
is
for
many
of
the
tree.
Decisions
is
delegated
to
the
director
of
Public
Works.
F
And
my
last
question
relates
to
the
requiring
a
traffic
study
for
all
developments,
anticipating
an
increased
traffic
of
20
cars
during
rush
hour
looking
at
the
standards
and
the
and
the
information
that's
required
in
that
traffic
study,
it
seems
kind
of
burdensome
for
small
projects
that
increase
traffic
by
one
car
every
three
minutes,
and
when
you
hear
people
complain
about
the
difficulty
of
navigating
the
process,
it
makes
me
wonder
if
that
might
not
be
too
restrictive
as
standard.
Z
F
AA
I
have
a
request
for
inclusion
in
a
future
section
of
DCs
standard
updates.
One
of
the
things
that
I
would
really
like
to
see
is
a
can
a
curb
and
gutter
standard
for
when
we
have
a
bike
lane
that
is
different
from
our
Standard
carbon
gutter,
so
that
we
don't
end
up
with
a
concrete
to
Asphalt
seam
in
the
middle
of
all
of
our
bike
lines.
For
those
of
us
who
aren't
always
the
most
balanced,
it
can
cause
some
tricky
situations.
Z
AA
B
Great
well
I'll
I'll,
chime
in
here
calling
myself,
so
we
had
some
advocacy
from
the
community,
specifically
from
Community
Cycles
about
times
when
we
might
do
a
safety
study,
and
you
put
out
some
language
on
hotline
this
afternoon
to
address
that
interest.
Is
it
possible
to
bring
that
up?
Do
you
have
that
handy.
Z
The
presentation,
okay.
B
B
Great
so
so
this
is
some
proposed
language
and
you
so
you
feel
like
this
is
a
manageable
addition
to
do
and
like
what,
what
kind
of
a
time
frame
would
this
involve
if
we
were
interested
in
pursuing
this.
Z
B
Well,
thanks
for
that
so
I'll,
just
maybe
if,
if
that's
it
for
questions,
I
might
move
to
comments,
if
that's
all
right,
so
I'll
I'll
just
call
myself
here
again
and
and
say
that
I'm
interested
in
this
proposed
change,
because
I
think
you
know
a
crash
analysis,
particularly
for
bicyclists
and
pedestrians
could
be
really
useful
in
certain
circumstances.
So
I
appreciate
your
flexibility
in
coming
up
with
this
approach
student
coming
back
with
it
back
to
it
sooner
rather
than
later
and
I
don't
know.
B
If
it's
you
know,
five
months
feels
more
doable
than
six.
That's
awesome,
but
I
understand
you
got
to
work
it
through
with
your
schedules.
There
also
was
there
were
some
mud
very
recent
additional
language
from
Community
Cycles,
asking
adding
language
to
say
that
the
that
we
make
sure
that
the
criteria
were
consistent
with
the
vision,
zero,
racial
Equity
plan
and
transportation
master
plan
goals.
Do
you
feel
like
that
is
accommodatable
as
well.
B
So
then
I
would
just
look
to
my
colleagues
and
maybe
do
a
kind
of
a
quick
straw
poll
if
people
are
interested
in
having
this
language
plus
those
few
additional
words
I
just
mentioned
included
in
this,
maybe
a
show
of
hands
and
people
like
this
idea.
Okay,.
D
Clarify
unanimous
but
Matt
yeah,
it
doesn't
change
my
position.
I
just
had
a
clarifier
if,
if
we're
I'm,
just
wondering
why
this
may
have
to
go
back
to
planning
into
tab
if
we're
making
this
change
ourselves,
normally
things
sort
of
work
up
to
us
and
we
make
a
decision.
So
if
we're
making
a
decision
do
we
need
to
go
through
all
that
again
for
something
that's
not
massive,
but
but
a
substantive
change
that
we
feel
is
important,
so
I'm
just
wondering
in
terms
of
process
and
streamlining.
B
D
Z
If
so,
I'll
let
Natalie
speak
to
the
procedural
aspect
of
that.
If
so,
if
we
don't
need
to
revisit
Tab
and
planning
board
that
we
could
be
back
here
in
March.
Y
So
well
I'll,
say
procedurally
I
think
we
we
aren't
required
to
go
to
tab
before
coming
back.
I
do
believe
we
need
to
inform
planning
boards,
so
it
would
need
to
be
presented
in
probably
some
type
of
informational
item
to
them,
so
that's
possible
to
expedite
it,
but.
B
D
I'm,
okay,
with
that
I'm
I'm,
just
looking
for
ways
to
trim
six
months
so
I'm
and
if
there's
somewhere
in
the
middle,
if
it's
an
IP,
if
it's
less
than
having
to
schedule
meetings
and
those
things,
I
I
think
that
works,
but
whatever
we
can
do
to
shrink
that
timeline
down
being
mindful
of
Staff
timing
and
all
that
stuff.
Of
course,
thanks
Fair.
B
Point
anything
so
I
think
we
configured
this
out
any
other
things
else
on
this
before
we
go
to
the
rest
of
the
consent
agenda,
not
seeing
anything,
I
will
call
out
one
other
thing,
which
is
item
well,
I'll
call
it
a
couple
actually
but
item
3B,
which
is
the
resolution
1325,
establishing
the
public,
Boulder
Public,
Library
District,
and
appointing
two
members
of
city
council
to
the
board
of
trustee
selection
committee
at
the
end
of
and
thanks
so
much
Madeline
Garrett.
B
I
B
D
I
am
not
throwing
my
name
in
the
Hat,
but
I
do
have
a
question,
maybe
for
Teresa
on
aside
from
the
ordinance
to
a
point,
is
it
appropriate
to
offer
any
Guidance
with
regards
to
how
the
statute
is
written,
using
sort
of
phases
of
appoint
the
initial
Board
of
Trustees
versus
recommend?
D
AC
But
I'll
I'll
look
to
my
colleague,
Janet
Michaels
senior
assistant,
City
attorney
in
my
office.
Who's
worked
extensively
on
this
area
and
defer
to
her
her
thoughts
on
this
yeah.
AD
Thank
you,
Janet
Michaels,
with
the
city
attorney's
office.
There's
nothing
in
the
statute
that
prohibits
you
from
Council
from
Talking,
amongst
yourselves,
to
identify
what
criteria
you
might
want
to
apply
in
making
the
selection
of
the
trustees.
So
that
certainly
is
a
conversation
that
you
could
have.
You
could
have
it
tonight.
We
could,
you
know,
schedule
another
time
for
you
to
have
that.
D
I
appreciate
that
Clarity
I
I
just
wanted
to
raise
whether
or
not
we
had
a
when
we
appoint
this
group
of
two
to
join
our
County
Commissioner
colleagues,
whether
we
want
that
process,
whether
we
want
to
shape
it
so
that
the
appointments
or
the
nominees
come
back
to
this
body
for
us
to
approve
the
initial
Board
of
Trustees,
or
that
the
four
people
on
the
selection
Committee
just
do
that
upon
their
own
on
behalf
of
our
body.
So
I
wanted
to
just
know.
D
AD
Not
exactly
that
way,
because
it's
the
committee
that
selects
the
initial
Board
of
Trustees
and
then
it
comes
back
to
council
for
ratification,
so
you
could
have
a
conversation
just
saying
these
are
the
this.
Is
these
are
ideas
we
have
you
want
to
take
those
back
to
the
committee.
You
could
have
those
conversations
tonight
at
another
time,
but
the
way
the
statute
is
set
up
is
for
the
committee
to
make
the
selection
and
then
for
the
the
two
governing
bodies
to
ratify
that
selection.
B
And
I'll
just
comment,
then
I'll
go
to
Junie,
the
the
or
the
intent
to
I.
Don't
think
our
intent
would
be
to
go
Rogue
so
I'm
very
interested
in
council's.
You
know
input
on
on
the
process,
but
we
might
calendar
a
short
discussion
at
one
of
our
next
two
meetings
for
Council
to
maybe
weigh
in
on
this
and
give
us
some
guidance.
You
know
that's
amenable
to
folks.
Did
you
want
to
say
something
Judy.
D
Okay,
sorry,
I,
misunderstood
and
just
for
motive.
The
only
reason
real
reason
is
because
there
was
a
you
know
if
the
County
Commissioners
and
this
body
were
aligned
on
the
formation
of
a
Library,
District
I,
think
that
might
be
a
different
conversation.
There
was
some
non-alignment
and
so
I
think,
having
a
little
bit
greater
clarity
as
to
what
our
general
goals
are
and
what
some
of
those
criteria
are
might
be
a
better
way
to
make
sure
that
we're
shaping
this
with
the
right
outcomes.
D
B
B
I'm
making
that
thank
you
addresses,
though,
okay
good,
on
that
any
other
questions
or
comments
on
the
consent
agenda
right,
I,
apologize,
I
feel
like
I'm
talking
a
little
too
much
but
I'm
going
to
call
myself
one
more
time
which
is
about
item
C,
ordinance,
8556,
use,
table
and
standards
phase,
two
module
two
just
wanted
to
put
out
there
I
know,
planning
staff
is,
is
listening
carefully.
B
We've
gotten
some
interest
from
the
community
in
some
additional
stakeholder
engagement
just
wanted
to
support
that
request,
and
you
know
I
know
you're
already
working
on
that,
and
hopefully
that
can
continue
so
just
wanted
to
get
that
message
out
there
and
feel
free
to
respond
to
that
or
I.
Just
you
know
just
wanted
to
get
the
point
out
there.
B
D
All
right,
I,
I,
think
I
can
pull
this
one
together.
So
if
I
miss
there'll
be
probably
an
amendment
if
I
miss
this
one,
so
we'll
give
it
a
shot.
So
I
make
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
agenda
with
the
appointment
of
our
colleague,
Nicole
Speer
and.
AA
D
Aaron
Brockett
for
item
3B,
as
well
as
perhaps
setting
forth
the
with
the
also
the
amendment
to
bring
forth
Greater
Community
in
stakeholder
engagement
with
regards
to
item
3C
and
use
table
review
and
as
well
as
the
amendment
with
regards
to
the
DCS
standards
and
those
modified
changes
that
we
had
proposed
with
language
that
was
proposed
by
staff
on
I.
Believe.
D
With
regards
to
the
crash
studies
that
was
at
the
end,
I
don't
know
if
they
use
the
right
term
on
that.
But
I
think
we
know
what
we
mean
by
that.
So
I
think
that
covers
the
four
items
that
we
were
going
to
revise
on
the
consent
agenda.
B
D
C
B
C
F
I
I'm
fully
supportive
of
the
agreement
with
respect
to
the
Mapleton
water
meters,
but
why
were
eight
inch
meters
installed
in
the
first
place?
If
that's
creating
the
problem.
AF
Good
evening
Council
Christopher
I'm
the
deputy
director
of
operations
for
utilities,
so
council,
member
Rock.
If
I
heard
your
question
correctly,
it
was
why
were
the
eight
inch
meters
installed
initially.
Q
AF
AF
AF
We
believe
rectifying
this
this
Bill
and
Equity
through
this
water
service
agreement
is
the
best
solution
we
we
did
in
entertain
other
options
such
as
undoing
some
infrastructure,
removing
some
of
what
was
installed
that
didn't
feel
very
appealing
or
or
desirable.
AG
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
I
really
appreciate
the
residents
raising
these
concerns
about
the
disproportionate
water
service
charge
increases
after
these
infrastructure
improvements,
as
well
as
staff's,
quick
realization
that
we
were
out
of
alignment
with
our
equity
and
affordable
housing
goals.
I
know
that
moving
quickly
by
City
standards
isn't
always
within
weeks
or
even
months.
So
I
was
really
glad
to
see
that
we
weren't
charging
folks
for
additional
fees.
AG
While
we
worked
on
this
agreement
and
I
am
just
really
glad
that
we
were
able
to
arrive
in
an
agreement
where
the
Mapleton
homeowners
association's
2023
service
charges
will
actually
be
lower
than
they
were
before
the
infrastructure
improvements.
To
me,
this
was
a
really
great
example
of
our
city.
Listening
to
lower
income
residents
when
they
told
us
that
one
of
our
policies
was
having
a
disproportionate
impact
and
then
working
in
true
partnership
to
find
a
resolution.
So
just
wanted
to
say
Well
done
to
everybody
involved.
C
Okay.
Thank
you,
sir
4B
is
the
concept
plan
review
and
comment
for
the
Redevelopment
of
a
2.33
acre
area,
including
the
properties
generally
known
as
2504
2506
2536
and
2546
Spruce
Street
20,
55,

Street
and
2537
Pearl

with
101
residential
units
and
160
parking
spaces
and
amenities
for
residents.
The
Proposal
includes
88
market
rate
and
13
affordable
on-site
Condominiums.
This
is
reviewed
under
case
number,
lur
2022-00033.
B
L
I
like
to
call
this
one
out,
I
know
that
we
called
a
earlier
version
of
this
up
several
months
ago
and
and
provided
the
the
applicant
with
the
number
of
comments.
I
think
the
applicant
heard
us
and
made
a
number
of
changes,
and
this
is
a
big
enough
project,
I
mean
so
over
100
units
and
that's
that's
a
pretty
substantial
development
for
the
city
of
Boulder
and
I
think
that
it
would
be
appropriate
for
the
community
and
for
the
applicant
and
for
this
Council
to
call
this
up.
D
Thanks
Bob
for
bringing
that
I'm
going
to
Echo
some
similar
pieces,
but
I,
think
sort
of
holistically
Ali
and
Chris
heard
our
feedback
and
drastically
changed
their
project
to
meet
our
general
requirements.
We
I
think
I
mean
it's
income.
We
have
to
so
not
reward,
but
we
have
to
follow
through
with
our
end
that
if
you
meet
what
we
are
asking
for,
we'll
help
you
get
the
project
done
so
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
call
that
up
and
find
a
way
to
make
this
happen.
D
R
B
Good
and
I'll
I'll
ditto
my
colleagues
comments
as
well,
so
maybe
we
someone
might
like
to
make
a
motion
on
this.
I
Make
a
motion
to
call
this
up.
Second,.
A
C
B
I
think
that
completes
our
call-ups.
So
we
can
go
to
our
first
public
hearing,
oh
and
actually
before
we
do
that
I
was
remiss
Natalie
and
Garrett.
Thank
you
so
much
for
all
of
your
hard
work
on
the
design
and
construction
standards.
I
know
it's
been
a
long
time
coming.
There's
a
lot
of
great
details
in
there.
So
really
appreciate
all
your
work
on
that
yeah.
Thank
you
and
your
flexibility
working
with
us
tonight.
C
Thank
you,
sir.
Tonight's
next
item
is
dial
number
five.
Our
public
hearings,
5A
is
the
Dr
Cog
board,
update
and
a
consideration
of
a
motion
to
approve
the
proposed
list
of
projects
for
submittal
to
the
Denver
Regional
Council
of
governments
for
the
2024-2027
transportation,
Improvement
program
sub-regional
process.
C
H
AE
Great,
thank
you
so
much.
We
have
Gene
here
who's
going
to
kick
us
off
as
we
move
forward
did
not
know.
If
we
were
going
to
have
a.
Y
AE
AG
AG
AH
AH
AG
I
think
well,
while
they're
coming
up
I
was
just
going
to
make
a
couple
of
preliminary
comments,
so
I
can
just
get
started
on
those.
Thank
you.
Everyone
for
giving
me
time
to
share
these
updates
from
Dr
cogg
they're
important
for
all
of
us
to
be
aware
of
before
I
get
started.
I
just
want
to
thank
Gene
Sanson
for
in
our
transportation
department,
for
putting
these
slides
together
and
to
Gene
and
Natalie
Stiffler
and
all
of
our
incredible
Transportation
staff
for
getting
me
up
to
speed
on
Regional
Transportation
issues
over
the
past
year.
AG
I
also
wanted
to
extend
a
big
thanks
to
our
transportation,
Advisory
board
members
and
our
mayor
for
their
work.
In
my
Transportation
education
too.
It
really
does
take
a
village,
as
you
all
know,
but
I'll
state
for
any
members
of
the
public.
Still
on
our
meeting.
Dr
Cog
is
the
Denver
Regional
Council
of
governments.
It's
a
regional
organization
whose
directors
are
council
members
and
County
Commissioners
from
across
the
Denver
metro
area.
AG
The
board
of
directors
works
with
Dr
cog's
staff
to
establish
guidelines,
set
policy
and
allocate
funding
for
transportation
and
personal
Mobility,
regional
growth
and
development,
and
aging
and
disability
resources
all
right
on
to
the
presentation
so
next
slide.
Thank
you.
You
may
remember
that
in
2021,
Senate
Bill
21
260
established
greenhouse
gas
reduction
targets
for
state
and
Regional
Transportation
plans.
What
this
meant
for
the
Denver
metro
region
is
that
we
were
required
to
come
up
with
a
plan
to
reduce
surface
Transportation
greenhouse
gas
emissions
through
our
Dr
Cog
Transportation
Planning
process.
AG
So
this
year,
Dr
Cog
spent
a
lot
of
time
working
on
changes
to
our
Region's
Transportation
plan.
The
2050
Metro
Vision
Regional
Transportation
plan
I'm,
going
to
call
it
the
2050
RTP.
The
changes
not
only
included
updates
to
the
2050
RTP.
They
also
committed
our
region
to
further
action
through
a
mitigation
action
plan
and
the
Dr
Cog
board
adopted
the
2050
RTP
and
mitigation
action
plan
in
September
just
a
couple
months
ago.
Next
slide
please.
AG
The
changes
to
the
2050
RTP
resulted
in
some
pretty
major
shifts
to
how
we
plan
transportation
across
the
region.
We're
planning
to
meet
almost
90
percent
of
our
greenhouse
gas
reduction
targets
by
changing
how
we
spend
Transportation
dollars
so
rather
than
spending
billions
of
dollars
on
Highway
expansions
we'll
be
investing.
Instead
in
building
the
multimodal
infrastructure,
we
need
for
more
Transit
biking
and
walking.
So
in
the
coming
decades,
we'll
start
seeing
changes
like
removing
several
Highway
widening
projects
like
along
the
I-25,
Central,
Corridor,
C470,
and
so
on.
AG
These
changes,
along
with
some
changed
assumptions
about
how
many
people
in
our
region
are
teleworking
now
that
we're
all
more
used
to
working
remotely
weren't
quite
enough
to
get
us
to
our
goals
so
we'll
accomplish
the
remaining
11
of
our
reductions
through
some
voluntary
for
now
changes
to
our
land
use
and
parking
management
strategies.
Let
me
first
show
you
what
some
of
these
strategies
are
and
then
I'd
like
to
say
a
little
bit
more
about
what
I
mean
by
voluntary
for
now
next
slide.
AG
Please
Dr
cogg
identified
several
mitigation
strategies
that
will
make
a
big
difference
in
our
Green
in
our
Region's
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
increasing
residential
density,
increasing
job
density,
more
mixed-use,
Transit,
oriented
development,
reducing
or
eliminating
minimum
parking
requirements
and
adopting
local,
complete
straight
standards.
You
can
see
the
anticipated
annual
reductions
under
each
icon
in
the
slide.
AG
The
latest
intergovernmental
panel
on
climate
change
report
lists
increasing
density
as
critical
for
saving
the
planet.
You
can
read
more
in
the
latest
report
about
how
increasing
housing
and
job
density
is
a
key
transition
that
will
help
the
planet
avoid
more
than
1.5
degrees
of
global
warming,
and
you
can
go
back
to
the
slide
with
the
little
icons.
AG
Dr
Cog
will
be
providing
technical
assistance
to
communities
that
are
ready
to
work
on
these
mitigation
strategies
in
the
coming
years.
As
usual,
Boulder
is
already
out
ahead
on
climate
and
our
new
East
Boulder
sub-community
plan
actually
meets
a
lot
of
these
requirements
already
and
I'll
share.
More
on
that
in
just
a
moment
to
get
back
to
what
I
mean
by
voluntary
for
now,
because
I
think
this
is
really
important
for
all
of
us
to
know.
The
region
has
some
check-in
points
on
how
we're
doing
on
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions
targets.
AG
The
first
one
will
come
up
in
four
years.
If
we're
not
on
target
additional
mitigation
strategies
will
likely
come
into
effect,
which
will
tie
transportation
funding
to
this
mitigation
action
plan.
What
that
means
is
that
to
be
competitive
for
transportation
funding,
we
would
have
to
show
that
we're
making
progress
on
these
changes-
and
this
is
a
big
deal
in
this
current
funding
cycle.
We've
had
over
47
million
dollars,
come
into
our
city
through
Dr
Cog
for
res
for
transportation
projects.
AG
So
it
really
matters
for
a
city
that
we
stay
competitive
for
this
funding,
which
is
why
I
wanted
to
make
sure
we
had
a
heads
up
on
why
we
need
to
be
proactive
in
our
planning.
Transportation
staff
and
I
are
all
doubtful
that
the
2050,
RTP
and
mitigation
action
plan
are
sufficient
to
get
us
to
our
goals
by
the
first
checkpoint
in
four
years.
So
we
can
remain
a
little
optimistic,
so
these
more
stringent
regulations
on
funding
really
may
be
likely
to
kick
in
next
slide.
Please.
AG
The
good
news
is
that
we're
already
coming
out
ahead.
You
may
remember
that
our
East
Boulder
sub-community
plan
addressed
this
issue
directly
and
we're
anticipating
a
reduction
in
greenhouse
gas
emissions
due
to
increasing
the
number
of
people
who
make
trips
closer
to
home
and
work,
and
by
creating
a
well-connected,
walkable
and
bike-friendly
transportation
system
paired
with
15-minute
neighborhoods,
we
can
not
only
improve
mobility
and
quality
of
life.
We
can
meaningly
meaningfully
move
the
needle
on
our
broader
climate
goals.
AG
AG
All
right,
so
we
can
move
on
to
the
the
next
topic.
That's
not
quite
as
uplifting.
Next
slide.
Please,
as
you
all
know-
and
this
is
this-
is
about
RTD.
So,
as
you
all
know,
we
had
quite
a
few
RTD
Services
cut
during
the
pandemic.
Rtd
has
been
trying
their
best
to
get
back
as
fast
as
they
can,
but
Workforce
challenges
and
budget
shortages
have
impacted
the
restoration
of
services.
Rtd
is
expecting
significantly
reduced
Services
through
2027.
right
now,
there's
a
lot
of
uncertainty
around
when
those
services
will
come
back.
AG
What
RTD
is
working
toward
is
getting
us
to
80
of
pre-covered
service
levels
for
routes
that
are
serving
Boulder.
One
example
of
these
service
Cuts
is
at
Boulder
Junction,
the
transit
center
is
closed
and
five
routes
are
suspended.
Only
the
ff4
and
ab2
are
expected
to
return
in
the
next
five
years.
Next
slide,
please
right
now
there
are
plans
to
figure
out
a
path
forward.
Given
there
is
some
uncertainty
about
when
services
will
be
restored,
and
these
are
a
few
of
the
things
that
are
being
created.
AG
There's
going
to
be
a
sub-regional
service
Council
that
will
advise
our
TV
on
service
changes
and
our
city
staff
will
be
participating
in
that
there's
a
partnership
program.
That's
going
to
be
implementing
pilot
programs
and
cost
share
programs
like
the
Hop
funded
by
CU,
Boulder
and
RTD,
and
the
Dr
cogg
sub-regional
forum
is
going
to
be
working
on
starting
a
county-wide
strategic
Transit
plan
to
think
about
what
we're
moving
toward
this
forum
is
made
up
of
a
county
commissioner
and
County
staff
and
city
council
members
and
transportation
staff
from
cities
in
Boulder
County.
B
N
AH
Spear,
thank
you
very
much
for
that.
Dr,
Cog
briefing
and
RTD
briefing
all
very
important
information
that
informs
a
lot
of
the
work
that
you're
going
to
see
this
evening.
So
again,
my
name
is
Gene
Sanson
I'm,
a
principal
Transportation
planner
with
the
city
and
I'm
joined
this
evening
by
Garrett
Slater,
our
principal
Transportation
projects,
engineer
and
tonight
we're
going
to
be
presenting
a
set
of
projects,
we're
recommending
to
submit
to
Dr
cogg
for
the
2024-2027
transportation
Improvement
program
or
what
we
refer
to
as
tip
as
an
overview.
AH
Dr
cogg
opens
up
this
funding
opportunity
about
every
four
years
and
the
city
of
Boulder
has
submitted
for
this
funding.
Since
the
program's
initiation
in
1990s,
Dr
cogg
uses
a
project
selection
process
that
splits
available
funding
into
two
shares:
their
Regional
projects,
which
comprise
approximately
20
percent
of
available
funds,
and
then
there
are
sub-regional
projects
which
comprise
approximately
80
percent
of
funds,
and
we,
the
city
of
Boulder,
are
part
of
the
Boulder
County
sub-region.
AH
So
for
this
current
process,
Dr
cogg
has
programmed
projects
in
four
tip,
Cycles
or
four
calls
for
projects.
As
you
see
here
to
meet
and
these
meet
the
spending
time
frames
associated
with
different
funding
sources
like
arpa
American
Rescue
plan
act,
funds
state
multimodal
and
mitigation
option
funds-
that
is
new
funding
that
was
created
by
the
state
transportation
funding
bill,
and
then
I'd
also
note
that
each
tip
cycle
also
has
different,
anticipated
funding
requirements,
spending
requirements
and
dates
associated
with
them.
AH
So,
as
you
can
see
from
this
bulleted
list,
Dr
cogg
has
completed
the
first
three
calls
and
we're
now
moving
to
the
call
4
phase
of
the
tip
shown
here
in
red.
This
2024-2027
tip
call
for
sub-regional
project.
Applications
was
issued
this
week
and
applications
are
due
January
27th,
so
we've
got
a
couple
months
to
pull
them
together.
This
fourth
and
Final
Call
for
projects
is
the
topic
of
this
meeting's
presentation,
but
before
diving
into
the
list
of
recommended
project,
applications
for
submittal
and
call
Four
I'd
like
to
share
progress.
AH
So
what
this
table
is
showing
are
two
things:
the
projects
that
we,
the
city
of
Boulder,
have
secured
for
funding
in
the
first
three
call
for
projects
earlier
this
year,
as
shown
in
the
yellow
brackets
and
you'll
notice
that
they're
all
part
of
our
core
arterial
Network
or
can,
as
you
can
see,
we've
had
quite
a
bit
of
success
in
securing
funding
for
a
good
portion
of
the
core
arterial
Network,
and
we
hope
to
get
even
more.
So
we
hope
to
secure
even
more
funding
in
this
next
call.
AH
The
rest
of
the
projects
shown
are
those
regionally
funded
tip
projects
that
were
directly
benefiting
from
by
collaborating
with
our
partner
agencies.
For
example,
27
million
dollars
has
been
secured
for
multimodal
improvements
on
Colorado
119
diagonal
Highway
that
connects
Boulder
to
Longmont.
These
improvements
include
Capital
investments
in
safety,
enhancements,
bus,
Rapid,
Transit
and
construction
of
a
commuter
Bikeway
along
the
corridor,
and
over
thirteen
and
a
half
million
dollars
has
been
secured
for
Colorado
seven
connecting
Boulder
to
our
neighboring
communities
to
the
east.
AH
This
funding
includes
approximately
three
million
dollars
here
locally
for
final
design
of
East
Arapahoe
improvements
between
28th
Street
and
Foothills
Parkway.
It
also
funds,
high
frequency
bus
service,
that's
going
to
run
between
I-25
and
Brighton
and
Boulder,
starting
in
2024,
so
there's
an
example
of
how
we're
getting
creative
about
providing
Transit
without
necessarily
leaning
on
RTD,
which
has
such
limited
resources
in
the
coming
years.
AH
So
in
total,
as
council
member
spear
mentioned,
we've
secured
over
47
million
dollars
in
Dr
Cog
funds
that
are
directly
benefiting
us
and
we
now
hope
to
build
on
the
success
by
securing
additional
funds
through
the
sub-regional
tip
call
for
with
19
million
dollars
available
to
the
Boulder
County
sub-region.
So
that
includes
the
city
of
Boulder
in
all
jurisdictions
within
Boulder
County.
AH
So
how
do
we,
the
city
of
Boulder,
select
sub-regional
projects
to
submit
for
funding
and
call
for?
Well,
essentially,
we
replicated
the
process
we
used
to
select
projects
for
call
two
which
were
brought
to
council
earlier
this
year.
We
started
with
a
long
list
of
projects
from
our
transportation
master
plan
and
with
a
great
deal
of
input
from
our
transportation
Advisory
board.
AH
Over
the
last
several
months,
we
narrowed
down
the
list
to
those
projects
that
further
the
adoptive
Transportation
master
plan
are
competitive
in
terms
of
the
tip
scoring
criteria
and,
importantly,
Advance
the
safety
improvements
to
the
boulder
core
arterial
Network
and
our
vision,
zero
goals.
I'd
also
note
that
we
also
look
for
those
projects
where
we
can
leverage
partner
funds
when
they're
available.
AH
Okay,
so
here
is
the
map
of
the
recommended
projects
shown
in
blue.
The
three
projects
are
shown
in
solid
blue
lines
on
this
exhibit
and
the
core
arterial
network
is
showing
in
the
glowing
yellow
behind
them.
Here's
a
closer
look
at
the
projects,
so
from
the
north
we
have
the
Folsom
Street,
multimodal
improvements
project
between
Pine
and
Colorado,
moving
south
we're
looking
at
West
Colorado
Avenue,
multimodal
improvements
between
Regent
and
Folsom,
and
then
30th
Street.
Multimodal
improvements
between
Colorado
and
Baseline
and
I'll
provide
a
little
bit
of
detail
about
each
one,
as
we
move
forward.
AH
I'd
also
like
to
point
out
that
there
was
a
fourth
project
included
in
your
Council
memo.
That's
not
shown
here
or
being
recommended
at
this
time
for
a
call
for
submittal
its
improvements
to
the
Canyon,
Boulevard
and
28th
Street
intersection
and
later
in
this
presentation.
I
will
share
our
rationale
for
removing
the
project
for
a
call
for
submittal
at
this
time.
AH
These
projects
have
also
been
extensively
workshopped
with
our
transportation
Advisory
board.
Over
the
last
several
months,
we
have
reviewed
and
discussed
potential
potential
project
applications
at
four
separate
meetings
with
tab
between
August
and
November
of
this
year
and
staff
is
extremely
grateful
for
tab's
role
in
shaping
this
project
list.
AH
We're
also
grateful
for
our
community
members,
who
have
been
a
vital
part
of
the
project
selection
process.
Over
the
last
several
months,
we
have
sent
out
mailers
to
folks
in
the
project
areas,
produce
project
fact
sheets
and
informational
videos
and
posted
all
of
this.
On
our
City's
webpage.
There
we
offered
an
online
feedback
form
and
virtual
appointments
for
office
hours
with
staff.
We
also
sent
out
a
City
press
release
and
use
social
media.
AH
So
what
have
we
heard?
Well
from
this
engagement?
We
heard
a
range
of
comments
and
some
core
themes
emerge
across
the
projects.
Respondents
expressed
the
desire
for
more
protection
at
Crossings
and
intersections
for
people
walking
and
bicycling,
and
a
desire
to
see
more
separation
from
vehicles
for
people
walking
and
bicycling
community
members
also
expressed
a
desire
for
improved
Transit
facilities,
and
a
few
comments
mentioned
support
for
these
projects.
AH
Let's
take
a
look
first
at
the
Colorado
Avenue
multimodal
improvements
project,
so
as
Illustrated
in
this
exhibit,
we
have
a
lot
of
work
going
on
along
Colorado
Avenue.
It's
Garrett
is
much
too
familiar
with,
as
shown
in
the
salmon
color,
particularly
between
Regent
28th
and
30th,
and
30th
Street.
We
have
active
projects
underway
either
in
design
or
in
the
construction
phase.
AH
AH
AH
As
a
reminder,
we're
currently
designing
and
we'll
be
constructing
improvements
along
30th
from
Colorado
to
Arapahoe,
and
we
receive
tip
call
to
funding
for
the
design
of
multimodal
improvements
from
Arapahoe
North
to
the
diagonal
highway.
So
this
would
really
complete
a
very
long
extent
of
30th
at
the
south
end
of
30th
Street.
AH
This
project
will
also
construct
raised
protected
bicycle
Lanes,
improve
sidewalks
and
Transit,
stop
enhance
enhancements
to
essentially
make
biking,
walking,
driving
and
taking
transit
in
the
area
safer
and
more
convenient
for
our
community,
so
that
wraps
up
the
brief
description
of
the
tip
call
for
projects.
But,
as
I
mentioned
earlier
in
the
presentation,
there's
one
project
we
had
previously
recommended
for
a
call
for
project
that
we
are
no
longer
putting
forward
at
the
November
14th
tab.
AH
The
intersection
Improvement
is
one
element
of
a
larger
Regional
call,
3-tip
application
that
the
city
of
Boulder,
jointly
submitted
with
the
city
of
Longmont
to
construct
Transit
and
bicycle
facility
improvements
connecting
to
the
Colorado
119
diagonal
Highway.
The
regional
project
was
not
recommended
for
funding
by
the
Dr
Cog
project
review
panel,
but
it
did
score
very
well
and
it
will
remain
on
the
call
3
wait
list.
AH
So,
as
funding
becomes
available,
it
will
move
up
through
the
waitlist,
so
at
the
November
14th
tab
meeting
in
an
effort
to
be
nimble
and
to
respond
to
the
outcome
of
call,
3.
staff
recommended
pulling
out
this
one
intersection
improvement
from
the
regional
call
3
project
and
submitting
it
as
a
sub-regional
call
for
tip
application.
This
was
supported
by
Tab
and
is
also
what
you
see
reflected
in
your
Council
memo
this
evening.
AH
However,
over
the
course
of
the
last
several
days,
our
staff
has
been
working
to
refine
the
project,
scope
and
budget
and
has
determined
that
the
cost
of
this
intersection
project
would
be
significantly
less
than
originally
estimated.
And
it's
therefore
not
prudent
to
seek
Federal
tip
call
four
dollars
for,
for
what
will
be
a
relatively
low-cost
project.
But
rather
we
will
retain
the
project,
as
one
component
of
the
larger
tip
call
3
project,
which
is
waitlisted
at
this
time.
AH
B
Dude
no
okay,
I
did
have
one
not
seeing
anybody
else
so
on
the
the
transit
signal
Priority
One
That
Got
got
removed.
It's
great
news
to
hear
that
we've
got
a
lower
cost
version
of
that.
What
kind
of
price
tag
are
we
looking
at
for
when
we
eventually.
B
AH
There
is
a
possibility.
Well,
we
don't
know
if
and
when
it
would
come
off
of
the
wait
list.
AB
AH
We
just
don't
have
a
sense
of
that,
but
but
we
do
know
that
there
is
a
possibility
that,
as
we
finish,
improvements
to
the
28th
Street
Improvement
project,
that
there
is
a
possibility
that
we
could
then
make
those
improvements
to
connect
with
the
28th
Street
project.
But
it
would
only
happen
once
the
28th
Street
Improvement
project
is
completed.
D
AH
No,
that's
a
really
good
question
and
we
looked
at
it.
I
know:
Garrett
has
looked
at
this
project
several
ways
so
that
larger
Regional,
three
regional
call
3
project
includes
this
intersection
Improvement,
as
well
as
an
intersection
Improvement
to
the
north
at
28th
and
Iris,
so
in
other
words,
kind
of
relieving
some
of
the
congestion
for
buses
at
those
two
pinch
points
to
allow
for
better
travel
time.
AH
It
also
included
creating
Transit,
only
Lanes
on
IRS
or
the
what
becomes
the
diagonal
as
well
as
some
Bikeway
improvements
connecting
to
the
commuter
Bikeway,
so
all
told
all
package,
that's
a
fairly
large
project.
So
we
did
look
at
you
know,
were
there
other
pieces
that
we
could
Cobble
together
to
propose
for
a
call
for,
and
we
just
didn't
see
any
that
really
made
sense
for
the
amount
that
we
would
be
looking
for.
B
Right
not
seeing
any
other
questions,
we
will
go
to
our
public
hearing.
We
had
one
person
signed
up,
Jess,
Lou,
but
I
understand
she
has
withdrawn,
so
we
actually
have
no
one
signed
up
so
we'll
close
the
public
hearing
and
bring
it
back
to
council
for
discussion,
maybe
motion
any
anybody
want
to
kick
that
off.
AI
AG
AJ
AI
X
Just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
the
great
work
that
you've
done
to
staff
and
also
to
my
fellow
council
member,
for
this
great
work
in
on
Dr,
Cog
and
also
I
have
to
say,
I
read
the
memo.
I
was
very
happy
and
I
told
her.
I
was
pleased
because
it
was
an
easy
read.
You
just
follow
the
process
as
well
and
I
appreciate
how
you
try
to
throughout
try
to
go
through
the
process
in
a
way
that
meets
the
objective
of
Dr
Cog
just
from
reading
the
memo,
so
it
was
very
comprehensive.
AH
G
U
F
AK
AC
B
C
B
Program
has
been
approved
unanimously,
wonderful
and
then
I'll
just
add
my
thanks,
Gene
to
you
and
to
the
whole
department
for
your
extraordinary
work
on
this,
and
we've
done
so
well
in
this
tip
cycle
and
it's
because
of
the
incredible
work
of
our
transportation
department.
So
just
very
grateful
for
all
that
you
do.
AH
C
AE
Thanks
so
much
Alicia
and
while
I
let
Mark
get
himself
settled
as
we
move
forward
today,
we
really
are
initially
coming
to
talk
to
about
a
supplemental
Appropriations,
but,
as
we
heard
a
lot
of
conversation
during
the
course
of
the
budget
approval
process,
we
certainly
got
questions
about
arpa
funds
and
the
possibility
of
reusing
those
Public
Health
funds
in
different
ways.
So
I
wanted
to
take
advantage
and
come
back
and
talk
about
those,
so
Mark
I
will
pass
it
on
to
you.
AL
So,
as
I
mentioned
and
appreciate
that
this
item
is
coming
to
you
in
multiple
parts
and
so
to
just
be
super
clear
before
we
get
going
this
evening,
we're
in
two
different
parts
for
this
agenda
item
the
first
one
will
be
ordinance
8558,
that
is
the
budget
adjustment
and
then
separately
is
our
arpa
discussion
and
I'll
get
into
a
little
bit
more
detail
on
that.
But
we'll
have
a
few
parts
of
the
arbor
presentation.
AL
AL
All
right
so
that
first
part
is
8558
our
supplemental
Appropriations
just
very
quickly
on
budget
adjustments,
you
all
are
Pros.
Now
we
have
budget
adjustments
throughout
the
year.
In
addition
to
in
separate
farm
from
our
adopted
budget,
those
are
typically
scheduled
twice
a
year
in
May
and
November.
We
have
circumstances
that
dictate
other
amendments.
We
call
those
special
adjustments
for
various
circumstances,
we're
likely
to
have
our
next
one
in
February,
which
we'll
talk
a
bit
more
about
later.
AL
I'll
spend
just
a
brief
time
talking
about
the
budget
adjustment,
but
we
do
we
are
available
and
have
other
staff
available
for
questions
on
the
budget
adjustment
itself.
Budget
adjustments
generally
fall
into
two
different
categories.
We
either
appropriate
from
additional
Revenue.
So
that's
something
like
grants
coming
in
throughout
the
year
or
we
appropriate
from
fund
balance
in
the
general
fund.
What
this
budget
adjustment
proposes
to
do
is
appropriate
approximately
7
million
in
funding
that's
a
little
over
6
million
from
fund
balance
and
just
under
a
million
dollars
from
additional
Revenue
in
restricted
funds.
AL
That's
all
other
funds,
other
than
the
general
fund.
The
ordinance
will
appropriate
a
little
over
10
million
10.4
million
in
funding,
including
4.4
million
from
additional
revenue,
and
a
little
over
6
million
from
fund
balance
and
again
to
be
super.
Clear.
Arpa
funds
are
not
appropriated
through
this
ordinance,
and
the
reason
for
that
is
that
if
we
appropriated
the
arpa
funds
now
they
would
lab
with
the
fiscal
year.
So
essentially
our
authority
to
spend
would
go
away.
AL
December,
31st
and
we'd
have
to
be
back
in
front
of
you
anyway,
so
we
are
seeking
final
Direction
on
the
our
funds
and
hopefully
that
special
adjustment
in
February
is
is
a
formality
at
that
point,
with
just
a
kind
of
recap
of
this
conversation
tonight
at
least
that's
the
goal,
so
some
highlights
of
what
is
in
the
adjustment
so
actual
appropriation
that
we
need
funding
for
to
finish
out
projects
or
spending
in
2022
include
additional
funds.
AL
This
is
a
theme
you've
heard
throughout
the
year
inflationary
costs
related
to
capital
projects
that
includes
the
North
Boulder
library
branch,
2.3
million
needed
to
complete
that
project,
one
million
for
the
completion
of
the
flat
irons
golf
course,
and
lastly,
the
North
Boulder,
multimodal
enhancements
project
will
require
an
additional
2
million.
Other
unbudgeted
costs
include
police
claim
settlements.
AL
These
are
previously
approved
settlements
throughout
2022,
approximately
2.8
million
software
replacement
for
permitting
software
and
planning
and
development,
just
shy
of
a
half
a
million
and
then
a
purchase
of
a
Wildland
fire
engine
a
little
under
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
as
well
all
right.
So
that
was
the
super
brief
recap
of
the
budget
adjustment,
and
now
we
will
shift
to
part
two,
which
is
our
arpa
investments,
so
to
set
the
stage
a
little
bit.
I
wanted
to
recap
a
bit
of
how
we
got
here
so
I'll
talk
a
bit
more
about
process.
AL
You'll.
Remember
that
we
last
discussed
tranche
three
recommendations
as
a
part
of
our
package
that
we
discussed
in
February
of
this
year.
We
went
ahead
and
then
did
the
appropriation
for
tranche
2,
but
in
that
initial
study
session
we
had
a
series
of
tranche
3
recommendations
where
we
were
seeking
Council
feedback.
AL
You
all
provided
some
feedback
that
allowed
staff
to
go
and
refine
those
proposals,
and
so
that
you're,
seeing
the
results
of
that
this
evening
so
to
remind
Community,
we
have
received
a
little
over
20
million
dollars
in
local
relief
funds
through
arpa
the
left
side
of
the
screen.
There
is
our
tranche
one,
which
was
approved
in
September
of
21..
AL
AL
So
a
lot
of
stuff
up
here
on
the
screen,
but
I
think
it's
really
important
and
exciting.
To
recap
all
of
the
investment
20
million
dollars
that
we're
investing
in
the
community,
a
lot
of
which
about
8
million
we've
invested
or
are
in
the
process
of
directly
investing
in
the
community
and
so
to
recap
some
of
those
Investments
as
to
where
we're
at
868
600
the
city
service,
Restorations
that
included
some
one-time
service
Restorations,
including
Recreation
programming,
severe
weather,
shelter
and
public
art.
AL
We
provided
a
large
Grant
to
Boulder
housing
Partners
to
improve
high-speed
internet
access,
free,
high-speed
internet
access
at
BHP
sites.
That
project
is
in
progress.
Currently
11
sites
are
complete
or
nearing
completion
that
provides
access
to
over
300,
affordable
housing
units
across
the
BHP
sites.
AL
We
provided
immediate
and
direct
support
to
some
of
our
hardest
hit
Industries
through
our
small
business
and
Local
Economic
recovery.
It's
included
art
support
our
tourism
and
hospitality
industry.
We
worked
on
delivery
fee
subsidies
through
to
support
restaurants,
programming
and
support
underserved
businesses
and
our
outdoor
dining
program.
AL
We
set
up
a
program
in
partnership
with
the
county
to
provide
assistance
to
our
water
customers.
That
support
has
been
provided
through
a
combination
of
County
and
City
resources
to
date,
and
the
remainder
of
that
funding
is
still
available
for
that
type
of
financial
assistance.
AL
We've
provided
immediate
assistance
for
rental
assistance,
the
continuation
of
Investments
that
we
made
all
the
way
back
to
the
coronavirus,
Relief
Fund,
and
then
we
also
made
some
investments
in
our
workplace
transformation
to
accommodate
hybrid
work.
We've
also
set
aside
that
a
million
dollars
and
again
we'll
talk
about
the
details.
We
did
invest
in
the
city,
employee
vaccine
incentive
to
get
employees
vaccinated
to
provide
that
incentive
and
also
help
small
businesses,
purchase,
masks
for
tranche
2
4.8
million
again.
AL
A
lot
of
these
are
in
progress
or
we
have
made
investments
in
a
number
of
these
areas,
starting
with
our
continued
housing
and
Human
Services
recovery
programming.
This
includes
rental
and
financial
assistance
that
we've
provided,
including
the
Left
Behind
workers
fund.
The
remaining
funds
will
be
allocated
for
food
assistance,
including
hotel
vouchers
and
other
basic
needs
for
emergency
response
connectors.
This
has
allowed
us
to
continue
that
program
and
maintain
Outreach
and
engagement
related
to
recovery
efforts.
This
will
continue
into
2023
and
four
as
funds
allow.
AL
We
will
talk
more
about
guaranteed
income
in
a
moment,
but
we
have
begun
consultant
engagement
on
that
pilot
project.
We
have
finalized
two
contracts
with
service
providers
for
peer
support
and
daytime
programming
for
housing
retention
Services
as
a
part
of
the
building
Home
Project
in
tranche
2..
We
have
provided
small
grants
to
businesses.
We
did
another
round
of
small
Grant
small
business
grants,
in
addition
to
small
grants
for
child
care
providers
as
a
part
of
tranche
2
Investments.
AL
All
right,
so
that's
all
the
stuff
we
have
done
or
in
the
process
of
doing,
which
is
a
great
list,
and
now
we'll
start
talking
about
tranche
3..
So
you
all
are
very
familiar
with
the
process.
But
again,
just
to
emphasize,
we
go
through
a
very
I
would
say
rigorous
process
to
provide
recommendations
related
to
arpa
funding.
AL
So,
for
instance,
we
were
looking
at
impact
within.
We
were
looking
at
impact
related
to
our
outcomes
and
sustainability,
equity
and
resilience
goals.
We
were
making
sure
that
these
outcomes
were
aimed
at
needs
that
were
exacerbated
by
covid
and
that
these
needs
were
informed
as
we
moved
forward
through
by
community.
So
that
kind
of
led
us
to
those
tranche
two
and
three
recommendations.
AL
And
then
we
received
input
from
you
all,
as
I
mentioned
in
February
the
time
between
February
March
and
now
allowed
us
to
coordinate
with
Boulder
County,
to
ensure
that
our
funding
was
not
duplicative,
and
it
also
in
many
instances,
allowed
us
to
do
some
public
engagement,
including
through
our
community,
connectors,
to
help
inform
the
scope
and
that
additional
scope
was
completed
and
helps
inform
those
final
recommendations
that
you
see
this
evening.
AL
All
right
and
I
won't
explain
all
of
these
in
detail
because
you're
going
to
get
them
in
detail,
but
this
is
the
list
of
the
tranche,
3
recommendations.
This
should
look
very
familiar.
It
is
refined
from
the
tranche
3
recommendations
provided
back
in
February,
but
again
it
is
informed
through
that
process
through
that
additional
scoping
and
our
work
with
community
over
the
past
several
months
and
now
I
get
to
hand
off
and
we're
going
to
start
with
housing
and
Human
Services
Elizabeth
Crow
is
joining
us.
AM
As
you
all
know,
HHS
has
for
many
years
been
supporting
mental
Behavioral,
Health
Services
and
outcomes
through
our
Direct
Services
and
through
our
investments
and
as
part
of
our
departmental
strategic
framework.
We
focus
on
creating
access
and
removing
barriers
so
that
all
community
members,
especially
folks
who
are
experiencing
systemic
disparities,
get
what
they
need
to
live
and
thrive
in
Boulder
long
term.
Our
HHS
outcomes
related
to
mental
Behavioral
Health
include
decreases
in
the
disorders.
AM
The
mental
Behavioral
Health
disorders
that
community
members
are
experiencing,
particularly
with
a
Health
Equity
lens,
a
reduction
in
people
experiencing
crisis
and
a
reduction
in
the
number
of
people
who
lures
who
lose
Services
due
to
mental
behavioral
health
problems.
And
on
this
slide
you
can
also
see
some
of
the
shorter
term
outcomes
we're
after.
AM
In
addition
to
those
arpa
considerations,
we
have
which
Mark
already
alluded
to
making
sure
that
we're
not
overlapping,
rather
adding
value
to
the
Investments
that
we
already
make
and
making
sure
we're
really
looking
for
services
that
are
complementary
to
what
other
government
agencies
are
investing
in
with
our
arpa
funds,
primarily
Boulder
County,
which
is
making
a
lot
of
investments
in
areas
that
that
we're
not
necessarily
proposing
tonight
so
going
to
the
next
slide.
Our
recommendations
are
2.5
million
total,
and
this
will
really
focus
on
Workforce
capacity
and
support
throughout
the
pandemic.
AM
I
think
you
all
are
well
aware
that
nationally
we're
really
experiencing
a
shortage,
a
professional
service
providers
relative
to
the
number
of
people
who
really
need
Services.
The
number
of
people
in
need,
and
particularly
the
number
of
folks
who
are
experiencing
more
extreme,
need
and
more
urgent
needs
when
it
comes
to
mental
Behavioral
Health.
AM
So
these
Investments
That
We're
recommending
will
really
address
the
need
for
capacity
building
among
our
local
organizations
and
also
independent
providers,
who
are
working
as
part
of
networks
with
our
non-profit
agencies
to
help
provide
services
in
a
more
flexible
way
to
community
members,
particularly
folks
who
are
in
need.
There's
a
lot
of
overlap.
I
think
we
can
all
acknowledge
throughout
with
covid
the
Marshall
fire,
the
heavy
winds,
The
Table
Mesa
incident,
so
just
to
say
it
happens
during
covid,
but
in
our
community
there
have
been
a
lot
of
compounding
factors.
AM
There
are
some
transformational
elements
to
these
recommendations
that
I'd
like
to
point
out,
such
as
addressing
systemic
challenges
that
a
lot
of
these
private
providers
have
in
accessing
Medicaid
and
administering
Medicaid.
Those
are
the
things
that
are
really
preventing
them
from
being
able
to
provide
more
services
to
our
low-income
community
members.
So
some
of
these
recommendations
recommendations
are
really
trying
to
get
at
that
problem
and
with.
AM
One
of
the
other
elements
here
that
we
believe
is
transformational
is
being
able
to
include
the
mental
Behavioral
Health
case
management
for
people
who
are
experiencing
who
are
already
experiencing
and
engaged
in
HHS
services
such
as
eviction
prevention,
but
they
really
need
more
temporary
support
just
to
get
through
that
process
and
can
be
a
good
example
of
where
investment
in
this
short
time
frame
could
again
really
help
us
look
at
ways
that
we
can
transform
our
system
and
serve
our
community
members
better.
AM
Lastly,
I
would
just
say,
for
this
slide
and
Mark
already
shared,
that
we
have
been
engaged
in
community
with
community
and
getting
their
input
all
along
and
I'd,
just
like
to
really
call
out
our
appreciation
to
some
organizations
who
really
did
provide
some
good
input
and
feedback
on
this
strategy.
AM
They
include
Mental
Health,
Partners
out
Boulder,
County,
queer
asterisk
Rise,
Against
suicide,
Clinica
Jewish,
Family,
Services,
El,
Centro
mistaden
and
many
others,
and
lastly,
I
I
did
mention
this
previously,
but
a
lot
of
the
Investments
that
we
are
making
here
are
complementary
to
what
we
know
now
that
Boulder
County
is
making.
That
includes
some
grants
out
to
local
organizations
to
expand
their
services,
which
is
maybe
a
different
shade
from
expanding
Workforce
capacity.
But
we
check
in
with
them
pretty
carefully,
including
which
organizations
have
supplied
a
request
for
information.
AM
AM
So,
if
Council
affirms
some
of
these,
these
recommendations,
then
we'll
work
on
with
each
other,
with
our
own
staff
at
HHS
and
with
our
Community
Partners,
to
advance
these
ideas
so
then
moving
on
to
child
care.
This
is
definitely
another
area
in
which
our
community
and
our
nation
have
really
experienced
so
much
strain
and
stress
and
severe
impact
not
only
to
families
who
are
really
in
need
of
these
services,
but
the
providers
who
are
trying
to
meet
those
needs
locally.
AM
We
know
that
many
of
our
child
care
agencies
have
struggled
to
make
Financial
ends:
meet
they're
facing
staff
shortages,
they're
challenged
to
deliver
Services
when
families
and
their
own
staff
are
still
getting
sick.
Unfortunately,
our
HHS
department
and
Community
Vitality
departments
have
a
history
and
current
experience
of
supporting
child
care
providers
and
HHS
funds.
Several
Direct
Services
and
investments
in
communities
every
year
to
support
providers
and
Families
so
to
frame
our
arpa
investments.
I
just
want
to
draw
your
attention.
AM
If
a
child
care
agency
can
actually
increase
their
their
formal
level
of
care
that
enables
them
to
be
able
to
take
more
families
to
serve
more
families
with
kids
who
are
on
the
child
care
assistance
program,
for
example.
So
it's
this
very
particular
benefit
to
our
low-income
community
members
and
lastly,
what's
all
about
again
like
we're
just
really
making
sure
that
community
members
in
Boulder
are
able
to
live
and
thrive
in
this
community
to
try
to
by
solving
some
of
these
Child
Care
issues.
AM
So
next
slide,
we'll
talk.
A
little
bit
about
what
the
specific
recommendations
are,
we're
looking
at
1.5
million
total,
and
there
are
three
main
components
to
this:
a
bulk
of
the
funds,
700
000,
we're
hoping
to
actually
use
to
renovate
a
city
facility,
that's
managed
by
Parks
and
Rec
the
salberg
community
center.
AM
Then
the
next
two
categories,
kind
of
similar
to
mental
Behavioral
Health,
are
about
to
really
trying
to
support
the
workforce.
So
one
of
the
things
we'd
like
to
do
is
utilize.
The
city's
existing
Child
Care
Subsidy
program
and
actually
expand
that
to
include
people
with
even
greater
diversity
of
income.
AM
What
we
know
from
all
of
our
Family
Resource,
Centers
and
other
assistance
agencies
Child
Care
Facilities-
is
that
you
know
more
people
who
are
are
experiencing
income
challenges
and
economic
challenges
that
they've
never
had
before,
and
that
includes
with
child
care,
where
a
family
can
be
experiencing
a
lot
of
financial
pain,
but
not
quite
be
eligible
for
the
federal
child
care
assistance
program.
Maybe
they're
not
even
quite
eligible
for
our
own
Child
Care
Subsidy,
but
they
really
need
the
financial
help.
AM
So
we
want
to
look
at
just
expanding
that
program
which
actually
helps
providers
as
well
as
families,
and
then
lastly,
we
want
to
be
able
to
invest
in
some
additional
training
opportunities
for
community
members
who
are
providing
Child
Care
at
home,
and
these
are
primarily
providers
who
are
lower
income
themselves.
They
are
Latina,
they
are
reflect
other
immigrants
and
people
of
color
populations
and
they're
also
serving
disproportionately
that
same
population,
and
so
this
kind
of
training
and
capacity
building
gets
at
several
of
the
outcomes
as
well
as
the
other.
AM
The
other
items
here
that
are
about
diversifying
the
pool
and
just
creating
more
access
points
for
care,
so
I
know
there's
going
to
probably
be
more
questions
and
comments
about
this.
One
so
really
excited
to
also
provide
an
update
with
some
more
detail
on
where
we
are
now
with
the
guaranteed
income
project,
pilot
project
and
again
kind
of
share
what
our
recommendations
are
for
the
trunch
three
allocation,
so
just
to
review
guaranteed
income
is
a
term.
AM
That's
generally
used
to
describe
the
transfer
of
cash
provided
to
people
who
are
experiencing
low-income
or
Economic
Security
for
a
temporary
or
fixed
period
of
time,
and
unlike
other
forms
of
financial
assistance
such
as
for
rent
or
food
or
child
care.
For
that
matter,
guaranteed
income
Pilots
mean
that
these
financial
assistance
is
provided
with
no
strings
attached.
That
community
members
are
really
trusted
to
make
their
own
decisions
about
what
they
need
for
their
families.
AM
So
these
do
still
remain
the
primary
areas
of
expenditure
for
tranche
2.
next
slide,
please
so
here's
some
of
the
staff
activities
of
how
kind
of
how
we've
been
spending
our
time
since
May
we
have
been
well.
The
list
of
activities
on
this
slide
are
are
a
summary
and
the
results
of
which
is
that
we're
continuing
to
build
our
own
knowledge
base
and
understanding
about
pilot
project,
best
practices
and
what
some
of
those
hurdles
are
and
how
to
overcome
them.
And
examples
of
that
are
again,
we
talked
about
it
with
May
and
I
promise.
AM
I
won't
rehash
the
entire
study
session,
but
just
the
ongoing
challenges
or
of
how
we
would
run
a
pilot
in
such
a
way
that
avoids
a
benefit
Cliff
where
people
actually
experience
a
disparity
because
they're
getting
a
little
bit
more
income
and,
as
time
goes
on,
there
are
more
and
more
examples
of
how
to
resolve
and
even
avoid
some
of
those
challenges.
So
time
has
been
on
our
side.
In
that
sense,
in
this
same
time,
frame
the
momentum
for
guaranteed
income
has
certainly
increased.
AM
So
next
slide,
please
Mark
I'm
very
excited
to
be
able
to
share
that
this
week
we
were
able
to
get
the
contract
in
place,
for
our
project
management
consultant
I'm
pleased
to
announce
that
it
is
impact
charitable.
This
is
an
organization
some
of
you
may
be
familiar
with.
We
actually
have
had
a
relationship
with
them
already
as
a
city
because
they
manage
our
Left
Behind
workers
fund,
which
is
the
state
fund.
AM
We
we
made
some
investments
in
this
program
back
in
2020-21
and
are
using
some
of
our
Arbitrage
2
Funds
to
support
it
as
well,
and
they've
got
such
deep
knowledge
about
guaranteed
income
projects.
They
are
one
of
the
groups,
that's
working
a
lot
on
the
Denver
basic
income
project
and
I,
really
don't
think
we
could
have
done
better
at
having
them
interested
in
working
with
us
and
being
able
to
choose
them.
AM
So
in
may
also,
we
just
shared
very
high
level.
The
kind
of
projects
that
we
wanted,
the
consultant
to
be
able
to
undertake
and
the
scope
of
work
that
we
now
have
in
place
includes
setting
up
the
project,
design,
supporting
and
guiding
the
implementation
and
ensuring
that
we
have
the
data
that
we
need
to
determine
possible
project
sustainability.
AM
This
is
the
body
made
up
largely
of
folks
who
have
the
lived
experience
with
low
income
or
are
really
familiar
with
financial
safety
nets
that
we
have
now
to
really
inform
the
key
elements
that
we
know
are
are
important
to
us
and
also
to
you.
You
know,
as
we
move
toward
the
final
kind
of
formality
of
the
allocation
in
February.
AM
Of
course,
we
wanted
to
create
a
draft
budget,
but
even
before
we
had
the
community
task
force
input.
So
this
might
change,
but
pilot
projects
can
include
it's
it's
it's
very
common
for
the
monthly
amount
to
be
five
hundred
dollars.
They
go
anywhere
from
one
year,
18
months
to
two
years
to
kind
of
make
sure
we
set
the
bar
at
the
outer
level.
Depending
on
what
we
would
hear
back
from
community
members,
we
created
that
2.4
million
estimate
on
200
participants
at
500
a
month
for
two
years.
AM
So
again
we
might
hear
differently
from
Community
participants.
That
would
change
that
number.
But
really
comfortable
making
the
vast
majority
of
these
funds
going
out
to
community
members.
So
it's
not
just
a
pilot
project
to
prove
a
point.
It's
actually
helping
a
lot
of
families
at
the
same
time
and
the
remainder
of
the
funds
in
total
would
include
things
like
that
which
we
need
well,
the
consultant
expenses,
obviously
that
which
we
need
to
provide
language,
translation,
interpretation,
Media,
Services,
knowing
that
most
Pilots
have
a
storytelling
element.
AM
People
want
to
know
how
are
people
being
impacted
throughout
the
project
making
sure
we
have
at
least
a
base
amount
for
evaluation,
critical
right
for
the
success
of
a
pilot
and
to
know
whether
it
would
get
the
results
that
we
we
think
it
will
so
staff
research
on
other
pilot
projects
that
we've
done.
AM
You
know,
starting
you
know
back
a
couple
of
years
ago,
continue
to
keep
in
touch
and
keep
tabs
on
a
lot
of
the
best
practices
and
Norms
are
that
it's
it's
pretty
common
and
accepted
for
around
a
quarter
of
a
total
budget
expenses
to
be
allocated
for
administration
or
operations.
If
you
will,
and
so
given
that
this
initial
budget
that
we've
outlined
is,
is
pretty
close
to
that
Mark
so
be
happy
to
answer
questions
at
the
appropriate
time
about
this
project.
AM
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
did
not
add
for
council
member
Yates
that
we
have
not
forgotten
your
request
to
not
have
guaranteed
income
in
the
project
name,
and
please
be
assured
that
coming
up
with
a
name
that
we
all
really
like
is
inspiring
and
avoids.
Those
two
words
is
also
on
our
charge
and
with
that
I
will
turn
it
over
to
Kurt
to
share
about
the
rest
of
the
HHS
projects.
AB
AB
The
first
is
the
winter
Sheltering
support,
and
you
will
have
remember
you'll,
remember
from
the
the
homeless
update
that
we
had
this
Summer
that
we
outlined
some
of
this
as
well,
so
it's
435
000
and
it's
primarily
going
towards
additional
shelter
beds
from
the
middle
of
November
to
the
end
of
March,
and
it
both
increases
the
number
of
beds
that
we
had
last
year
that
are
available,
but
it
also
provides
staff
and
capacity
support
to
manage
that
manage
the
food
and
we've
also
changed.
AB
AB
With
that
I
think
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
so
the
Ponderosa
Community,
you've,
you've,
hopefully
heard
about
that
for
years.
I
think
there's
two
or
three
of
you
that
were
on
Council
when
this
this
community
was
annexed
into
the
city.
AB
At
that
time,
the
the
community
was
quite
active
in
expressing
some
of
their
concerns.
One
of
them
is
that
they
wouldn't
be
that
they'd
be
able
to
stay
in
their
community
and
that
the
solutions
that
we
would
work
with
them
on
would
enable
them
to
stay.
So
there
was
a
real
commitment
made
by
by
council
at
that
time,
and
so
one
of
the
so
the
the
infrastructure
has
been
completed
on
on
Ponderosa
when
we
purchased
the
property
I
think
it
was
in
2017.
AB
It
had
infrastructure
that
was
built
in
the
1950s
that
wasn't
even
built
for
a
mobile
home
park.
It
was,
it
was
built
for
summer
travelers
to
to
Boulder
to
to
park
their
their
Caravan
outside
of
way
outside
of
the
city,
and
so
that
infrastructure
has
been
replaced.
Roads
have
been
installed.
We
now
have
water
quality
in
place
with
the
tension,
and
so
it's
it's
changed
significantly
over
the
last
couple
of
years
now
we're
we're
commencing
on
the
construction
of
homes.
AB
Households
are
working
on,
you
know,
building
their
own
homes
and
and
soon
they'll
be
moving
into
their
homes.
So
one
of
the
challenges
we
have
and
we're
talking
about
second
mortgages
here
and
a
second
mortgage,
essentially
in
simplistic
terms,
covers
the
gap
between
what
they
can
afford
and
what
the
house
is
sold
to
them.
For
so
an
example,
I
will
give
of
a
a
house
that
they
can
move
into
for
about
a
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollars.
That's
the
affordable
price
with
their
income
they
can
afford.
AB
Eighty
thousand,
and
the
second
mortgage
would
would
cover
the
the
one
hundred
thousand
that
money
would
be
paid
back
at
the
time
in
the
future
that
they
would
sell
their
property
to
another,
affordable
household
or
when
their
mortgage
is
complete
in
in
30
years.
AB
AB
We
have
an
off-site
solar
farm,
that's
already
in
place,
helping
those
residents
right
now
and
that
will
have
an
even
bigger
impact
when
they
move
into
these
into
these
homes,
and
so
this
in
part,
fulfills
commitments
that
were
made
by
previous
councils
as
this
project
was
developed
over
several
years
and
with
that
I
will
pass
it
on.
Thank
you.
AN
Our
first
recommendations
are
250
000
for
continued
implementation
of
the
outdoor,
dining
pilot
and
part
of
those
funds
will
be
used
to
help
more
local.
Small
businesses
participate
in
the
pilot
and
two
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
dollars
to
implement
programs
such
as
special
events
and
interactive
public
art
to
help
activate
commercial
areas
within
the
city
that
have
lagged
in
economic
recovery
and
then
a
next
slide.
AN
Please
we're
also
looking
at
recommending
Investments
to
address
persistent
challenges
and
to
increase
opportunities
for
women
in
minority-owned
businesses
and
individuals
from
historically
underserved
communities,
and
that
would
include
380
000
to
create
more
affordable
commercial
spaces,
also
225
000,
to
increase
opportunities
for
Bolder
businesses
to
participate
in
government
and
corporate
contract
opportunities,
as
well
as
Supplier
Diversity
programs.
There's
a
lot
of
work,
that's
going
on
at
the
state.
AN
We
would
enhance
that
and
and
make
sure
that
some
of
those
opportunities
are
taking
place
right
in
our
Market
and
then
110
000,
to
enhance
small
business
support
for
minority-owned
businesses,
as
well
as
additional
training
and
employment
opportunities,
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
back
to
mark.
Thank.
AO
AL
Thanks
Jennifer
and
Team
all
right
so
to
come
back
in
for
a
second
now,
you
have
a
chance
to
hear
the
overview
of
the
transitory
recommendations,
so
that's
that
11.37
million
now
we'll
move
on
to
that
green
silver.
The
remaining
funds.
Again,
that's
the
reallocation
of
the
public
health
Reserve
that
we
spent
some
time
talking
about
in
October
the
current
available
funding,
for
that
is
that
547,
321
and
as
outlined
in
the
memo,
we
have
a
couple
different
recommendations
for
reallocating
that
funding.
Based
on
that
discussion
in
October
Matt.
Thank
you.
AL
AP
Evening,
Council
Matt
josanski
with
the
city
of
Boulder
office
of
arts
and
culture
and
I
wanted
to
talk
about
the
or.
R
AJ
AP
That,
okay,
based
on
the
feedback
that
we've
heard
from
Council
in
previous
meetings,
especially
on
the
aspects
of
the
Arts
community
that
are
not
keeping
up
with
the
recovery
of
the
rest
of
the
economy.
AP
We
were
particularly
listening
to
the
discussion
of
the
vulnerability
of
artists
and
the
affordability
of
Arts
venues
for
for
the
community,
and
that's
why
we
have
a
proposal
here
to
allocate
150
000
from
from
this
portion
of
the
unspent
funds,
to
two
Grant
programs
that
are
specifically
targeted
to
the
outcomes
that
you
discussed.
AP
First,
another
round
of
the
artist
hiring
incentive
for
non-profits
to
hire
Regional
artists
and
get
them
paid
to
do
new
work
to
perform
or
to
exhibit
their
work
and
then
a
second,
an
additional
additional
funds
for
the
venue
affordability
fund.
This
is
a
long-standing
fund
to
help
with
rental
assistance
and
the
affordability
of
online
programming.
AP
AP
And
so
you
know
we'll
talk
more
about
the
other
part
of
the
funding
here
in
a
second,
but
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
call
out
that
we
did
hear
the
testimony
of
members
of
the
community
who
were
talking
about
some
of
the
organizations
and
the
need
for
General
operating
support,
and
we
heard
that
very
strongly,
and
so,
even
though
these
recommendations
don't
include
General
operating
support,
that
it
is
very
important
and
we
understand
the
need
there
and
want
to
talk
about
that
some
more.
AM
Me
again
just
talking
a
little
bit
about
this
additional
amount
or
the
the
remaining
amount,
I
suppose
from
the
public
health
Reserve.
So
we're
also
recommending
the
remaining
397
321
to
really
maintain
those
funds
to
be
make
them
available
for
a
wide
range
of
basic
needs.
One
of
the
things
that
we're
really
watching
carefully,
along
with
our
colleagues
at
the
county
folks
across
the
state
and
nationally,
is
what
might
happen
when
the
federal
public
health
emergency
order
is
rescinded.
It
will
happen
eventually
right
now.
AM
We
don't
know
when
that
will
happen,
but
it's
a
kind
of
situation
that
we
really
want
to
be
prepared
for
and
in
some
ways
with
some
of
the
original
intent
of
the
public
health
Reserve.
So
we
may
be
in
a
situation
where
we
actually
need
to
help
people
in
an
insurance
gap
or
help
them
with
covid
testing
or
vaccinations
that
the
state
has
so
far
been
providing.
We're
really
thankful
for
that,
but
we
don't
know
if
they
will.
AM
What
we
do
know
for
sure
is
that
the
need
for
rental
assistance,
other
financial
assistance,
food
security,
all
things
that
are
being
increasingly
experienced
by
community
members
that
have
never
been
in
this
situation
before
so.
While
there
are
a
lot
of
benefit,
Nets
safety
nets
that
exist,
we
would
recommend
kind
of
continuing
to
be
able
to
tap
those
resources
for
the
remainder
of
our
arpa
timeline.
AL
AM
Should
have
remembered
that
so
okay
last
slide,
at
least
for
me,
is
just
to
let
Council
know
for
those
of
you
who
will
remember
back
in
2020
when
we
had
funds
through
the
cares
act.
The
coronavirus,
Relief
Fund.
We
set
up
a
really
simple
dashboard
to
provide
that
information
and
public
transparency
as
to
how
the
funds
were
being
utilized.
We
really
just
focused
on
three
main
categories
of
funding
and
then
more
information
as
it
came
down.
If
you
want
to
click
through
one
more
time.
AM
The
three
categories
that
we
use
then
were
City
operations,
business
support
and
people,
and
our
team
has
been
really
working
on
putting
together
a
draft
dashboard
for
our
arpa
investments
as
well.
So
this
currently
is
just
a
mock-up,
but
we
would
really
like
to
be
able
to
provide
this
on
our
website
again
and
be
able
to
use
it
just
kind
of
as
a
focal
point
to
let
people
know
what's
happening
with
these
funds
and
Link
it
to
the
outcomes
that
we
have
in
place
or
will
have
in
place
for
all
of
the
investment
categories.
AM
So
people
not
only
see
here's
what's
going
for
it,
but
what
are
we
actually
getting
from
it?
And
even
though
the
expenditures
have
to
be
completed
by
2026,
it
may
be
sometime
after
that
that
we're
still
really
gauging
the
impact.
So
we
do
intend
to
to
get
this
up
and
running
as
soon
as
possible
for
the
tranche
one
and
two
and
then
given
the
results
of
council's
approval
and
allocations
for
tranche
3.
AL
Thanks
Elizabeth,
all
right
last
slide
is
just
to
say:
we
have
future
touch
points.
So,
as
Elizabeth
mentioned
we'd
like
to
periodically
report
out
on
our
open,
Investments
and
the
impact
and
to
again
mention
that
these
Investments,
we
will
need
to
appropriate
those
funds
in
February
we're
hoping
that
is
a
brief
conversation
or
briefer
conversation.
So
we
are
seeking
that
final
Direction
tonight
on
those
tranche
3
initiatives,
as
you've
heard
this
evening,
a
lot
a
lot
of
complicated
Partnerships
and
contracts,
and
it's
so
it's
really
important
to
receive
that
direction.
AL
To
get
the
ball
rolling
on
a
number
of
these
Investments,
that's
not
to
say
that
you
couldn't
certainly
make
alternative
recommendations,
recommendations
or
make
changes
has
been
suggested.
Now
would
be
the
time
to
do
that,
so
we
can
make
those
adjustments
between
now
and
the
appropriation
in
February
and
with
that
we
are
done
with
our
presentation.
B
X
Well,
this
was
a
really
great
presentation,
but
I
have
so
many
questions.
I
have
four
questions
based
on
the
presentation
on
behavioral
Child
Care,
guaranteed
income
in
Ponderosa
for
the
behavioral.
My
question
is
once
that
money
spent.
What
is
next.
AM
Thank
you
so
much
for
that.
I
think.
That's
that's
a
question
in
all
of
our
minds,
quite
frankly
for
almost
every
dollar
in
arpa
funds,
because
you
know
what
we
don't
want
to
do
is
set
up
ourselves
or
any
other
organization
or
or
people
for
a
cliff
effect
in
a
sense
and
what
we've
we've
been
working
on
so
far
with
these
recommendations
for
Behavioral
Health
is
looking
for
those
opportunities.
When
we
talk
to
our
non-profit
Partners
about,
if
you
had
a
one
time,
what
would
you
do
with
it?
AM
And
there
are
actually
quite
a
few
things
that
fall
into
that
category.
Some
of
them
are
to
be
able
to
provide
like
a
retention
bonus
for
staff,
to
be
able
to
pay
for
the
costs
of
increased
training
and
for
some
organizations
they're
really
working
on
increasing
the
kind
of
their
level
of
certification
as
an
organization
so
that
they
can
receive
different
funding,
be
able
to
serve
a
broader
number
of
community
members
Etc.
Some
of
them
really
want
to
focus
as
well
on
their
own
inclusivity
work
again.
AM
Diversity
of
services
is
a
huge
problem
in
our
community
and,
as
it
is
nationally
finding
people
who
are
bilingual
bicultural,
who
have
the
range
of
experiences
that
can
include
serving
people
who
are
immigrants.
You
know
who
just
have
so
many
other
kind
of
layers
of
harm
and
Trauma
that
they're
experiencing.
So
those
are
some
of
the
one-time
costs
that
we've
heard
about
from
our
non-profit
organizations
and
that's
what
we're
really
trying
to
focus
on.
AM
Similarly,
the
being
able
to
try
to
step
in
and
provide
some
support
for
provider
networks
who
want
support
with
things
like
being
able
to
be
able
to
administer
and
access
and
get
reimbursed
for
Medicaid
that's
more
there.
There
would
obviously
be
a
time
at
which
we
invest
in
those
Services.
We
won't
be
able
to
anymore.
AM
The
arpa
timeline
is
out,
but
we
hope
that
we'll
really
gain
some
insight
as
to
what
kind
of
assistance
that
will
provide.
Is
that
the
kind
of
assistance
that
really
makes
a
difference?
And
if
so,
maybe
it
actually
isn't
that
much
money
like?
Maybe
it's
not
a
large
investment
if
we
were
to
want
to
continue
that
moving
forward?
So
we're
also
looking
at
some
of
these
Investments
as
an
opportunity
to
learn
more
about
how
we
can
sustain
organizations
and
providers
yeah.
X
AM
Definitely
benefiting
City
community
members.
There
are
a
lot
of
organizations
whose
scope
is
far
beyond
the
city
of
Boulder,
but
just
like
it
is
now.
When
we
allocate
a
grant
to
you,
know:
Mental
Health
Partners,
a
Boulder,
County,
Rise,
Against
suicide,
any
of
those
organizations
our
dollars
go
to
support
their
work
in
the
city
and
we
have
the
ability
to
track
that
pretty
carefully
with
the
arpa
reporting.
Thank
you.
X
X
I
understand
that
you
know,
because
of
a
population.
We
have
a
large
population
of
Spanish
speakers,
but
if
somebody
who
doesn't
speak
Spanish
or
another
language
want
to
apply
just
having
Spanish
speakers,
they
might
not
apply
so
having
non-english.
Speakers
might
be
more
welcoming
to
other
people
as
well,
so
just
consider
that
for
for
the
update
or
whenever
you
decide
to
get
this
particular
program
going
for
the
guaranteed
income,
I
love
it
I
want
to
start
that
I
really
love
the
idea.
X
I
think
it's
great
and
I
think
Maria
for
bringing
this
forward,
but
I'm
wondering
again,
and
this
type
of
program
and
I
think
even
here
it's
even
Starker.
What
is
the
sustainability
being
Beyond
24
months,
especially
if
you're
giving
people
500
right
for
some
people?
That's
a
lot
of
money
and
I
support
that.
But
beyond
that,
how
do
you
intend
to
continually
support
them,
or
how
do
you
transition
them
to
be
able
to
get
that
500
themselves
right.
AM
Thank
you
for
that.
I
think
that
the
desire
to
have
a
project
that
is
successful
and
we
hope
it
will
be
to
be
able
to
continue
that
as
I
think
something
that's
really
deeply
felt,
I
think
among
our
staff
and
our
partners
as
well.
AM
So
so,
if
they're
not
designed
and
to
be
forever
programs,
they
are
designed
to
be
temporary,
and
that
is
also
just
the
nature
of
a
pilot.
We
need
to
kind
of
have
a
beginning
and
ending,
so
we
can
see
what
happens
and
I
know.
AM
You
know
that
so
I
think
that's
really
kind
of
the
answer
right
is:
is
that
that
the
model
is
to
of
these
nationally
is
to
get
them
up
and
running,
see
what
we
can
learn
to
really
build
that
understanding
and
capacity
on
a
national
level,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
advocacy
tools
that
are
happening
or
advocacy
initiatives
that
are
happening
at
the
same
time.
AM
I
just
mentioned
one
earlier
in
the
in
the
presentation,
where
there's
quite
a
national
movement,
to
try
to
get
the
federal
government
to
to
look
again
at
that
child
care
extended
child
sorry,
expanded,
Child,
Care
Credit,
which
was
so
impactful,
did
come
to
an
end,
and
you
know
there's
more
momentum
for
trying
to
get
that
on
the
table
again
and
supported,
and
so
these
Pilots
also
just
have
the
ability
to.
Let
us
learn
so
that,
hopefully
there
is
a
sustainability
element.
B
B
AM
I
think
some
of
the
the
kind
of
the
best
known
examples
of
that
are
for
people
who
are
able
to
use
at
least
some
of
their
kind
of
this
additional
income
to
take
I
mean
one
example
of
a
person
who
I've
met,
so
it
sticks,
in
my
mind,
is
three
jobs.
You
know
partner
with
three
jobs,
multiple
kids.
AM
He
was
able
to
actually
quip
that
one
of
those
jobs
to
enable
him
to
look
for
better
employment
opportunities,
so
full-time
one-job
employment
at
a
better
rate
he's
spending
more
time
with
his
family.
It
just
overall
just
helps
so
much.
There
are
other
people
who
have
utilized
the
funds
for
many
other
similar
situations
where
they
knew
it
was
limited
and
were
able
to
kind
of
knowing
that
it.
Some
more
was
coming
every
month,
make
different
decisions
and
really
kind
of
change
their
life
in
a
more
transformative
way.
X
Thank
you.
I
just
have
one
last
issue,
which
is
the
panderosa
I
was
I,
started
thinking,
and
you
can
tell
me
if
I'm
crunching
the
numbers
wrong:
three
million
dollars,
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
per
person.
So
that's
about
30
people
right
for
the
duration
of
the
program
or
the
life
of
the
fun
that
we
have.
How
big
is
the
park?
AB
Correct,
okay
and
we've
done
some
initial-
you
know
assessments
of
what
we
think
the
incomes
are
from
the
information
that
we've
received
from
them,
so
it's
sort
of
based
on
on
on
that
information.
It
also
went
from
about
80
000
average
per
household
to
about
200,
just
simply
based
on
the
changes
of
interest
rates
that
have
occurred.
Okay,.
X
Thank
you
for
that,
and
you
know
I
I
once
had
a
real
estate
license
and
I'm
gonna
try
to
put
my
real
estate
knowledge
to
the
test
here,
my
understanding,
the
people
who
live
in
the
parks
in
these
mobile
home
parks.
They
do
not
own
the
land,
they're
leasing,
the
land
right.
That's.
X
Do
own
the
house,
which
is
the
house
that,
but
if
we
give
them
a
loan
for
one
hundred
thousand
dollars,
I
my
understanding
these
homes,
they
don't
appreciate
in
values
based
on
type,
so
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
today
is
worth
more
right
than
let's
say
in
30
years.
So
how
do
you
expect
someone
to
pay
you
a
hundred
thousand
dollars?
Thirty
years
from
now
on,
a
depreciating
asset.
R
AB
X
AB
B
AG
AG
I
noticed
the
the
renovation
of
the
Sauber
Community
Center
is
really
to
make
it
a
child
care
facility
for
two
and
a
half
in
ages.
Two
and
a
half
and
up
and
I
was
just
wondering
if
there
was
some
discussion
about
having
it
available
for
younger
kids
or
anything
like
that.
So
imagine.
AM
We
all
talked
about
that.
Thank
you
so
much.
We
here
in
C
every
day,
how
there's
a
dramatic
need
for
infant
care.
One
of
the
challenges
we
may
encounter
with
trying
to
get
that
solver
property
to
infant
care
and
I'm
ever
going
to
pretty
quickly
get
to
the
you
know.
The
bounds
of
my
knowledge
is
that
with
that
property,
the
footprint
it
would
take
a
lot
more
investment
to
make
it
accessible
and
available
for
for
infants,
but
because
there's
so
much
infrastructure
there,
because
it's
been
used
in
the
way
it
has
getting.
AM
AM
Yeah
I
mean
we,
we
actually
as
a
department,
there's
there's
some
other
projects
that
we're
tracking.
We
also
have
Investments
going
out
annually
to
support
a
lot
of
child
care
facilities
Boulder
day
Nursery,
the
ywca's
persimmon
Early
Learning
Center.
There
are
a
lot
of
other
child
care
centers
that
we
actually
do
support
annually,
so
I
think
we're
we're
kind
of
watching
that
as
well.
We
know
that
the
need
exists.
AM
One
of
the
interesting
things,
speaking
of
like
complementary
Investments
city
of
Longmont,
is
using
some
of
their
arpa
funds
to
engage
in
some
research
to
get
more
specific
information
about
the
actual
supply
and
demand,
because
it's
actually
really
challenging,
sometimes
to
know
exactly
what
that
is,
and
we're
really
interested
in
seeing
what
results
they
have
from
that
investment
and
whatever
methodology
they
they
put
in
place
is
something
that
we
really
want
to
look
at,
because
that's
that
could
be
a
huge,
a
way
in
which
we
can
know
better
what
the
needs
are
with
our
community
in
our
community
and
where
some
of
our
other
Investments
are
going.
AM
So
it's
a
long
way
of
answering
I
I.
Don't
we
haven't
kind
of
seen
the
same
kind
of
opportunity
for
infant
care
in
terms
of
you
know,
renovation,
a
facility
getting
more
providers
with
the
amount
of
arpa
funds
that
we
would
have
available,
but
we're
always
looking
for
that
and
I
think
we're
we'd
really
love
to
you
know
hear
if
Council
has
any
suggestions
or
or
leads
or
ideas
for
where
else
we
could
be
looking.
AG
Yeah
I
just
had
another
question:
I
think
this
one's
probably
for
Kurt
I'm
gonna,
make
you
all
play
musical
chairs
a
little
bit.
Thank
you,
hi
Kurt.
My
question
is
just
about
the
winter
Sheltering
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
was
wondering
about
so
I
know
what,
on
critical
weather
days,
the
the
shelter
the
boulder
shelter
is
open
during
the
day
right.
That's.
AE
AG
AB
B
L
There
was
something
on
one
of
your
slides
on
the
guaranteed
income
program
that
I
wanted
to
make
sure
to
highlight,
because
I
think
I
understood
what
it
was.
But
I
want
to
give
you
an
opportunity
to
maybe
elaborate
on
it
a
little
bit
going
back
in
time.
I
think
it
was
the
I
know.
We
talked
about
the
guaranteed
income
program
at
several
stages
of
a
good
discussion
in
February.
Again
in
March
you
get
in
May.
H
L
The
the
exploration
and
the
study
or
the
the
work
you're
doing
right
now
and
then
the
potential
for
275
for
distribution
sounds
like
that's
more
like
going
to
be
2.4
I
think
you
said
something
on
your
slide
about
at
the
bottom
of
your
slide.
You
didn't
talk
about
too
much
about
getting
some
of
that
information.
L
The
the
information
you're
Gathering
right
now
through
your
consultant
through
the
the
community
connectors
the
other
folks
you're
talking
to
about
getting
that
to
us
release
as
much
as
you
have
before
the
actual
allocation
of
the
remaining
our
funds
in
February.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
what
you
think
you
might
be
able
to
deliver?
Yeah.
AM
So
shocker
it's
taken
a
little
longer
than
originally
estimated
to
get
the
consultant
in
place
and
underway,
but
we
do
want
to
get
the
Community
task
force
in
place
as
soon
as
possible,
given
the
holidays,
it'll
probably
be
the
beginning
of
the
year,
and
that's
really
the
group
that
we
want
to
hear
from
respond
to
some
thinking
that
we've
had
in
the
among
City
staff
already
about.
What's
our
Target
population,
are
we
going
for
a
particular
income
bracket?
Are
we
focusing
on
other
sub-populations
again?
AM
Existing
Pilots
have
a
wide
range
of
Target
populations.
We
just
want
to.
We
have
some
ideas
as
staff,
but
really
want
to
hear
from
those
community
members
how
much
money
per
month,
duration,
frequency
that
sort
of
thing
also
the
outcomes.
So
when
we
came
to
you
in
in
may,
we
kind
of
presented
like
these
are
the
main
outcomes
we're
looking
for,
but
the
community
task
force
will.
Let
us
know
are
those
on
point.
What
is
success
actually
going
to
look
like
and
maybe
to
council
member
Joseph's
question?
AM
How
will
we
know
if
this
is
something
we
might
want
to
continue
and
what?
What
are
all
those
impacts?
There
are
also
some
other
other
information
we
would
hope
to
have
for
you
by
February,
really
informed
a
lot
by
our
consultant
who's,
very
familiar
as
as
well
with
the
kind
of
data
like
hard
data
that
a
lot
of
other
pilot
projects
are
generating,
such
as
what
are
people
spending
this
money
on.
So
a
lot
of
the
dashboards
that
are
coming
out
are
pretty
consistent,
so
I,
don't
think
we'll
have
any
surprises
with
that.
AM
You
know
people
are
spending
money
on
groceries,
food
household
items,
car
repairs,
utilities
and-
and
you
know,
Rental
rent.
What
have
you,
but
that
we
want
to
know
from
the
community
task
force.
Are
these
the
kind
of
things
that
that
you
want
to
know
like
what
other
metrics
do
we
want
to
measure
as
a
community
I'm
interested
kind
of
in
hearing
from
them
as
to
are
there
other
impacts?
We
want
to
measure
like
what
is
our
community?
AM
How
what
might
change
for
all
the
rest
of
us
who
are
not
participating
in
this
program
program
about
what
it
means
to
be
poor
and
the
sense
of
trust
that
we
have
in
people
to
make
decisions
with
their
money?
So
those
are
the
kinds
of
things
we
would
that's
the
kind
of
input
we
really
want
to
have
from
this
community
task
force
and
I.
Think
it's
reasonable
from
talking
with
our
consultant
so
far
that
we
would
be
able
to
have
some
of
that.
AM
They've
worked
with
a
lot
of
other
organizations
in
other
cities
on
pilots,
and
so
far
they've
been
pretty
impressed
with
the
amount
of
thinking
that
we've
put
in
put
into
it.
So
like
wow,
we
could
actually
go
pretty
quickly
on
some
of
these
steps,
just
based
on
the
work
that
we've
had
in
the
input
we've
had
from
Council
as
well.
So
is
that
is
that
kind
of
what
you
really.
L
Yeah
I
think
so
just
to
play
it
back
to
you.
It
sounds
like
you,
you
believe,
you'll
have
a
lot
of
the
information
by
the
February
allocation.
You
may
not
have
all
of
it,
but
you're
gonna
have
a
lot
of
it.
Is
that
right,
good,
good?
That's
pretty
consistent
with
what
I
think
we
were
hoping
when
we
would
talk
to
you
about
late
late
winter
early
spring
last
year.
Great!
Thank
you.
Yep.
F
It's
a
couple
of
questions
and
I
want
to
key
off
of
something
that
that
Juni
said
that
I
think
is
very
important.
Can
somebody
estimate
for
me
the
amount
or
percentage
of
the?
What
is
it
about?
20
million
dollars
in
total
Opera
funds
is
a
one-off
versus
something
that's
going
to
require
continuing
funding
because
I,
you
know.
F
If
we're
going
to
be
amending
our
budget
as
a
result
of
arpa
I,
think
we
need
to
know
that
and
I'd
like
to
know
how
much
we're
going
to
be
amending
our
budget
by
because
there
are.
There
are
a
lot
of
programs
involved
here,
none
of
which
I
disagree
with,
but
I
I
would
like
to
know.
F
Let
me
make
the
the
question
of
Carl
Larry.
What
percentage
of
our
total
Opera
funds
is
going
to
programs
that
we
will
discontinue
after
the
money
is
spent,
and
that's
just
something
we
need
to
know.
It's
not
a
judgment
on
the
ways
in
which
we're
spending
the
money,
but
it's
raising
a
very
significant
issue
that
Juni
expressed.
F
How
much
of
this
is
is
something
that
we
are
going
to
have
to
account
for
after
this
money
is
spent,
as
opposed
to
say
the
your
you
know:
the
renovation
of
the
salberg
community
center
or
the
Ponderosa
program,
or
the
grant
to
BHP,
where
it's
it's
truly
a
one-off
Can
Can.
You
address
that
and
tell
me
what
those
numbers
look
like.
AL
AL
That
is
when
we
have
to
spend
our
our
allocation.
So
what
what
our
general
strategy
is
that
we'd,
like
to
work
with
Council
on,
is
to
have
those
conversations
about
which
arpa
Investments
have
that
are
implicating
ongoing
funding
and
add
that
to
the
list
of
ongoing
needs.
We'll
have
part
of
this
conversation
as
we
gear
up
for
this
Library
reallocation,
discussion,
but
more
more
specifically
through
the
2024
budget
processes.
AL
Given
all
of
these
needs
and
adding
some
certainly
through
these
armpit
discussions
that
we
know
may
be
important
into
the
future
once
arpa
funding
is
no
longer
a
possibility.
Where
do
they
follow
a
list
of
priorities?
What
are
those
one-off
Investments,
as
Elizabeth
talked
about
that
may
have
impact
and
that's
good
enough
and
that's
a
great
great
investment
for
Recovery
versus
what
we
need
to
look
at
in
terms
of
long-term
longer
term
sustainable
funding,
but.
AL
AE
I
just
wanted
to
add
too
I
mean
I,
I,
think
what
you're
getting
to
Mark
and
I
and
I
appreciate
your
your
comments
is
the
depends
really
is
about
I
mean
most
of
how
we've
come
to
arpa.
Is
that
it's
one-time
funding?
We
know
this
right.
We
know
that
moving
forward
the
question
isn't
so
much.
Are
we
anticipating
that
we're
going
to
continue?
It
necessarily
we're
going
into
it,
trying
to
set
expectations
that
at
some
point
this
is
temporary
and
it
could
end
not
necessarily
creating
ongoing
obligations.
AE
However,
if
the
data
and
the
evaluation
and
the
information
then
we
get
makes
us
rethink
and
say,
hey
the
benefits
we've
gotten
long
term
about
this
is
something
that
we
may
want
to
invest
in
the
future.
Then
we
will
come
to
council
with
a
program,
because
the
pilot
has
proven
itself
to
be
something
that
we
want
to
sustain.
AE
So
the
expectation
as
we
go
in
and
I
know
it's
a
delicate
dance
right
as
we're
talking
about
people
and
providing
particularly
with
guarantee
income,
but
it
could
be
a
variety
of
things,
setting
up
expectations
and
making
sure
from
the
get-go
that
we
are
not
over
promising
that
this
will
go
beyond
arpa
dollars.
I
think
is
really
critical,
but
we
want
to
as
staff
give
ourselves
and
and
hopefully
you
and
the
community
the
ability
to
say.
Oh,
my
goodness,
we
have
seen
great
results.
AE
F
Very
I
have
only
one
more
question,
which
is:
there
was
a
line
item.
It
was
a
line
item
for
380
thousand
dollars
for
more
affordable
commercial
spaces.
F
Obviously,
if
you'll
remember,
when
we
looked
at
that
from
a
community
benefits
perspective,
we
ended
up
with
a
system
that
that
we,
it
just
didn't
work.
Are
we
just
looking
in
terms
of
Grants
to
small
businesses,
or
is
there
some
other
mechanism
that
we're
looking
at
in
terms
of
providing
affordable
commercial
space.
AN
Yeah
we're
looking
at
other
mechanisms.
We
have
a
couple
of
affordable
commercial
pilots
going
on
right
now
and
we
want
to
expand
those
and
also
do
more
research
to
look
at
other
communities
and
what's
working
and
then
start
to
develop
other
programs.
We're
not
sure
what
those
look
like,
but
it's
it's
probably
not
going
to
be
as
complicated
as
what
we
were
looking
at
before
will.
D
Thanks
Aaron
Mike
I'm,
going
to
start
with
a
question
about
the
public
health
reserve
and
then
I'm
going
to
move
to
a
question
for
Matt
on
the
Arts
I.
Think
Elizabeth.
D
You
brought
up
the
point
that
there's
perhaps
a
bit
of
a
concern
about
one
there's,
an
expiration
date,
so
that
we
know
that,
but
also
that
you
know
given
the
potential
for
the
feds
to
rescind
the
public
health
order
is,
is
yet
another
piece
of
volatility
with
regards
to
that
fund
and
the
impacts
that
it
has
it
to
me
kind
of
begs
the
question:
the
impacts
of
covet
and
perhaps
other
things,
and
maybe
a
positive
byproduct
of
covet-
is
that
we're
more
sensitive
to
health
impacts
in
our
community
in
perpetuity
independent
of
a
pandemic
or
a
public
health
order?
D
Do
we
want
to
actually
ourselves
lift
up
some
form
of
Public
Health
Reserve?
That,
then,
is
independent
of
the
volatility
of
what
the
feds
do
or
don't
do
so
it's
a
question
I
have
in
terms
of
longevity
so
that
we
can
be
nimble
to
things
going
forward
and
in
which
case,
maybe
the
conversation
about
holding
on
to
this
money.
D
For
what
we
might
need
might
change
if
we
lift
something
up
with
our
own
criteria,
with
no
expiration
outside
of
the
purview
of
the
feds
and
so
I'm
wondering
if
there's
a
way
to
more
or
less
have
our
cake
and
eat
it
where
we
can
have
that
in
protection
for
our
community,
while
also
freeing
up
money
for
more
immediate
use.
Knowing
we
still
have
the
other
part
in
our
back
pocket,
should
we
need
it
later.
AM
Yeah,
thank
you.
The
honestly.
The
first
thing
that
comes
to
my
mind
is
thank
goodness.
We
have
a
Health
Equity
Fund,
so
we
do
and
and
having
said
that,
right
like
we,
we
have
fun
runs.
We
get
those
dollars
out,
not
sitting
on
not
sitting
on
it.
So
yeah
I
mean
it's
an
interesting
idea.
I,
don't
think
I
think
that
goes
more
to
what
you
know.
Kind
of
Mark
and
Nuri
were
saying
about
what
do
we
know
about
the
impact
of
having
a
reserve
like
that
for
whatever
might
come
ahead?
AM
You
know
in
the
future,
because
it's
the
arpa
funds
are
time,
stamped
I.
Think
from
HHS
perspective
we
again
like
we
don't
just
want
to
sit
on
the
money
and
think
like
well,
it's
going
to
rain
tomorrow.
AM
No,
it's
my
rain
tomorrow,
but
knowing
that
we
still
have
a
few
years
a
pandemic
and
knowing
that
the
Cadence
of
Need
for
some
of
our
non-profit
agencies
really
isn't
that
they
can
kind
of
as
effectively
take
a
whole
bunch
of
money
at
one
time
time
be
able
to
report
on
it
and
then
know
like
well.
Is
there
going
to
be
anything
left,
can
I
space
this
out?
You
know
there.
AM
There
are
some
other
state
funds,
perhaps
even
County
funds
that
are
going
to
end
sooner
and
we
know
there's
going
to
be
a
need
in
2024.,
so
I
think
that
that's
kind
of
how
we're
looking
at
you
know,
utilization
of
that
I
forgot
the
number
now
but
397-ish
to
be
able
to
use
that
space.
It
out
somewhat
not
sit
on
it
and
if
we
can
learn
that
it's
helpful
to
have
a
reserve
like
that
again.
AM
D
Did
but
I
think
it's
maybe
more
of
a
policy
question
for
us
to
discuss
down
the
road
sure,
but
but
thank
you
for
that.
So
I
have
a
question
for
for
Matt.
D
You
know
these
two
Grant
programs
that
you
mentioned,
that
this
150
000
will
fund
in
terms
of
artists,
hiring
incentive
and
then
the
venue,
affordability
and
online
event
Fund
in
in
sort
of
a
time
stamp
of
of
a
year
or
whatever.
How
many
different
artists
or
Arts
organizations
are
impacted
by
those
grants.
AP
So
for
the
venue
affordability
fund,
we've
had
that
it's
pretty
long
standing
and
we
get
dozens
of
applications
for
that
over
the
course
of
the
year
that
you
know
we
fully
fund
and
it
includes
a
a
sort
of
a
range
of
uses
right,
and
so
the
artists
and
organizations
that
apply
to
it
can
have
a
sort
of
a
set
of
impacts
right.
So,
even
though
it's
you
know
sort
of
these,
you
know
12
to
20
organizations
and
artists
that
get
it.
They
use
it
for
online
events.
AP
Some
of
them
take
advantage
of
free
rent
at
Mackie,
which
is
another
grant
that
we
and
they
apply
that
to
that,
and
so
sometimes
it's
several
events
in
a
row
but
yeah
as
far
as
individual
applications
go
it's
it's
in
that
realm
of
12
to
20.
for
the
artist
hiring
incentive.
That's
specifically
something
that's
been
mobilized
with
arpa
funding
over
the
you
know
the
past
year,
I
don't
have
in
front
of
me
I'll!
Look
it
up
when
I
sit
back
down
and
get
you
the
answer
in
just
a
second.
AP
But
the
we've
had
a
couple
of
rounds,
they're,
giving
away
on
a
lottery
and
they're
given
to
non-profits
to
hire
artists,
and
so
the
individual
artists
served
is
sort
of
related
to
you
know
the
nonprofits
that
we
give
it
to,
and
you
know
how
they
divide
up
that
money
in
in
the
course
of
program.
Sometimes
it's
not
just
a
single
artist,
that's
involved
in
a
program.
So
let
me
look
up
exactly
how
many
grants
were
given
out
I'll.
Give
you
that
information
in
a
second.
A
D
You
see
that
helping
existing
ones
longer
or
to
X
or
just
more
people
I
mean.
Is
there?
Is
there
a
a
number
of
groups?
You
just
can't
help
because
there's
too
many
applicants,
or
do
you
say
no,
we
we
can
reach
them,
but
if
with
more
money
we
can,
they
can
sustain
for
longer
or
they
can
work
to
elevate
to
maybe
higher
premium
venues
or
opportunities.
So
I'm,
just
sort
of
wondering
where
the
efficacy
of
that
heads.
AP
What
I
can
say
is
that
we'll
do
a
little
analysis
with
the
Arts
Commission
on
how
to
divide
that
money
up
effectively.
The
artist
incentive
that
program
this
additional
funding
I
think
will
basically
fully
meet
need.
We
have
just
enough
of
a
gap
in
need
that
this
will
fill
it
in
with
the
venue
affordability.
This
will
not
need.
AP
We
have
a
lot
of
people
asking
for
that
sort
of
rental
assistance
for
venues,
and
so
you
know
can't
say
exactly
what
decide
on
how
many
grants
to
give
out
with
the
Arts
commission
right
now,
but
I
can
tell
you,
we
can
spend
all
that
money
on
rental
assistance
and
not
meet
that
need.
D
AP
B
Great
and
so
I'd
like
to
do
a
time
check
here,
because
we're
supposed
to
do
that
at
nine
o'clock,
it's
9
15.
still
have
our
public
hearing
right.
We
have
got
four
people
signed
up
and
then
a
public
hearing
after
that.
Neither
of
these
are
optional
right.
We
got
to
get
through
it
all
tonight.
So
if
you
haven't
asked
questions,
you
sure
certainly
should
have
the
chance,
but
just
wanted
to
call
attention
to
that
right
because
but
agree
people
agree
right.
B
AA
AP
It
does
thank
you
and
while
I'm
here,
12
Artis
incentive
hiring
grants,
so
12
artists
were
hired
up.
That.
B
R
B
Good,
so
it's
now
time
to
go
to
the
public
hearing
I
think
we
are
going
to
revisit
our
code
of
conduct
guidelines
so
if
Brenda
is
still
around
so
for
the
that
will
apply
to
this
and
then
the
next
public
hearing
as
well.
J
I
am
still
around
and
I
was
anticipating
for
the
next
one,
but
I
have
them
up
and
ready
to
share,
and
so
I
will
do
that
now
and
save
Emily
the
trouble.
A
J
J
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
my
little
upstairs
home
office.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
share
these
guidelines
again
just
for
folks
who
did
not
join
us
at
the
top
of
tonight's
meeting,
but
are
joining
us
now
for
this
public
hearing
and
for
the
next.
We
wanted
to
share
these
again.
I
won't
read
this
whole
slide
again.
It
just
highlights
that
we
worked
with
community
members
to
create
a
vision
to
protect
the
safety,
physical,
emotional
and
the
safety
of
our
democracy
for
everyone.
J
J
No
participants
shall
make
threats
or
use
other
forms
of
intimidation
against
any
person,
obscenity,
racial
epithets,
other
speech
and
behavior
that
disrupts
or
otherwise
impedes
the
ability
to
conduct
the
meeting
are
prohibited
and
participants
are
required
to
sign
up
to
speak
either
in
person
or
virtually
using
the
name
they
are
commonly
known
by,
and
individuals
must
display
their
whole
name
if
they're
online,
before
being
allowed
to
speak,
I
am
seeing
whole
names
displayed
currently.
So
it
looks
like
we're
in
pretty
good
shape
for
that
right
now.
J
Currently,
only
audio
testimony
is
permitted
online,
and
we
ask
that
those
who
have
joined
in
person
in
order
to
keep
the
room
safe
and
welcoming
for
all
perspectives.
We
ask
that
you
refrain
from
expressing
support
for
disagreement
verbally
traditionally
in
council
chambers,
if
people
wish
to
show
support,
they've
used,
American,
Sign,
Language,
Applause
or
jazz
hands
to
silently
do
so.
So
thank
you
very
much
again
for
the
opportunity
and
I
believe
this
public
hearing
is
entirely
in
person,
so
I
will
throw
it
back
over
to
Chambers
to
handle
this
evening.
AR
Good
evening
good
evening,
and
thank
you
for
this
opportunity,
I'm
Dave
Folker
a
boulder
resident
for
60
years.
This
has
been
a
great
place
to
study,
mathematics
to
work
in
scientific
Computing
to
raise
a
family
to
dine
hike
and
bike,
but
Boulder
also
has
been
my
base
as
a
lover
and
supporter
of
the
Arts
tonight.
AR
I'll
focus
on
those
Arts,
specifically
the
boulder
Philharmonic
Orchestra,
where
I'm
the
a
board
member,
a
former
president
and
for
about
half
of
the
orchestra's
65-year
existence,
the
principal
trumpet
player
I'm,
the
first
half,
not
the
most,
not
the
latest,
half
I,
don't
envy
your
task.
Balancing
artistic
needs
against
other
priorities
that
have
just
been
described
so
eloquently
here,
but
I
ask
you
to
increase
the
arpa
allocation
for
Arts
recovery
from
the
recommended
150k
to
250k
or
with
no
delay
as
I
see.
AR
This
100K
increment
will
better
align
the
funding
with
the
needs
of
organizations
that
I
believe
there
are
temporary
needs
to
return
to
pre-pandemic
levels
of
Revenue
generation,
especially
earned
Revenue.
AR
An
orchestra
contributes
emotionally
mentally
to
the
well-being
of
its
Community.
As
an
illustration,
orchestral
music
can
reduce
isolation
among
Elders
from
Senior
Living
centers.
That's
just
one
example:
the
Arts
are
pro
proven
multipliers,
generating
economic
gains,
far
beyond
their
costs,
empowering
businesses
to
recruit
creative
workers.
AR
Finally,
our
nutcrackers,
our
Discovery
concerts
and
our
school
visits
give
five
or
six
thousand
children
every
year
opportunities
to
learn
how
musical
instruments
played
in
synchrony
and
Harmony.
Tell
stories,
evoke
emotion
and
bring
people
together
as
covid
loosens.
Its
grip
City
support
has
never
been
more
important
or
more
urgent.
Thank
you.
AS
Good
evening
my
name
is
Carrie.
Palazzari
I
serve
as
the
executive
director
for
Studio
Arts
Boulder
I'm,
actually
here
to
tell
a
happy
story
tonight
about
what
city
investment
in
the
Arts
can
do
next
slide.
Please
we
manage
the
historic
Boulder
Pottery
lab
on
uni
Hill.
The
building
is
owned
by
the
city,
but
we
take
care
of
all
the
routine
maintenance
and
we
operate
all
the
programs
next
slide.
Please.
AS
This
partnership
resulted
in
over
60
000
participant
hours
last
year
and
even
more
this
year,
and
yet
next
slide
please,
despite
maximizing
every
square
inch
of
the
pottery
lab
and
increasing
programs,
we
still
cannot
meet.
Community
needs
next
slide.
Please
coming
off
the
pandemic.
People
are
craving
the
physical,
mental
and
social
benefits
of
community
art
programs.
These
are
just
a
few
of
the
recent
comments
from
our
students.
AS
Other
speakers
Dave
just
mentioned
economic
benefits
as
well.
We
see
the
human
benefits
of
the
Arts
every
single
day.
Next
slide.
Please.
Our
mission
is
to
make
sure
that
these
impacts
are
felt
across
all
constituencies
in
the
community.
So
during
the
pandemic
we
integrated
pay.
What
you
can
fee
structures
into
our
programming
in
the
past,
we
had
a
few
dozen
applicants
for
scholarships
each
year,
but
you
can
see
on
this
slide.
Over
500
people
took
advantage
of
reduced
rates
this
year
because
pay
what
you
can
was
embedded
into
our
registration
process.
AS
That's
equity
in
action
next
slide,
please.
In
addition,
we
provide
over
450
free
classes
every
year
at
different
locations
across
the
community.
Students
in
these
classes
often
face
multiple
barriers
to
accessing
the
lab,
so
we
bring
the
studio
to
them
next
slide.
Please,
the
result
is
that
our
student
population
is
becoming
more
and
more
diverse.
We
were
fortunate
to
get
a
grant
from
the
Arts
commission
this
year.
Grant
funding
is
what
makes
pay,
what
you
can
and
free
classes
possible
next
slide,
please.
AS
We
were
also
part
of
the
2017
class
for
the
CCS
tax,
where
taxpayers
voted
to
provide
1.7
million
to
our
Capital
expansion.
We're
the
first
arts
project
on
that
list
to
start
construction
next
slide,
please,
which
I'm
thrilled
to
say
is
begun
just
five
years:
16
of
inflation
and
a
global
pandemic
later
we're
finally
moving
dirt
and
pouring
concrete
next
slide.
Please,
this
beautiful
new
facility
will
be
a
gem
for
Boulder,
there's
no
place
like
it
in
Colorado
next
slide.
AS
Please
it's
going
to
be
custom
built
from
the
ground
up
for
Community
programs
in
five
different
studio,
art
forms
that
doesn't
exist
now
next
slide.
The
significant
investment
of
public
funds
also
makes
it
possible
for
us
to
install
a
state-of-the-art
green
energy
technology.
So
that's
climate
resilience
in
action
as
well.
AS
B
Carrie
and
congratulations
on
your
brand
groundbreaking
now:
Christie
Gunter
and
Julie
Van
Damme.
AT
Good
evening
my
name
is
Julie
Van
Damme
I'm,
the
executive
director
at
effa,
the
emergency
family
assistance
association,
I
know
many
of
you
and
I
wanted
to
come
tonight
to
share
a
few
things.
First,
what
we're
seeing
at
effa?
We
are
the
Canary
in
the
coal
mine
for
the
local
safety
net
and
have
to
say,
as
life
returns
to
normal
postcovid
we're
seeing
some
really
disturbing
signals
in
our
community.
AT
AT
To
give
you
an
idea,
our
food
bank
is
seeing
record
numbers
and
it's
a
hundred
year
existence
in
Boulder
if,
on
an
average
day
before
covid,
we
would
see
probably
about
60
households
and
then
in
Peaks
during
covert
it
was
about
80
in
our
most
recent
week
with
data
we
saw
134
households
per
day
that
week.
So
it's
really
dramatic.
AT
We're
also
seeing
increases
in
families
with
kids
that
are
going
homeless,
losing
their
housing
having
to
be
hoteld
and
a
spike
in
rental
assistance
demands,
and
unfortunately,
we
expect
the
situation
to
worsen.
In
coming
months.
Elizabeth
have
mentioned
a
few
of
the
the
trends
with
the
finishing
of
the
federal
rental
assistance
money
that
the
county
has
been
channeling
and
we're
worried
about
that
and
that
ends
in
the
next
couple
months,
as
well
as
the
possible
lifting
of
the
public
health
emergency
which
reduced
SNAP
benefits
as
well
as
eliminate
our
reduced
Medicaid
Eligibility.
AT
So
there's
a
number
of
all
things
are
pointing
in
the
same
direction
to
a
very,
very
difficult
winter.
So
I
came
tonight
to
speak
in
support
of
staff's
recommendations
on
reallocating
the
remaining
Public
Health
Reserve
funds
to
essential
Human
Service
needs
the
our
safety
net
is
going
to
be
sorely
tested
this
winter
and
the
city
has
been
a
fabulous
partner
in
quick
response
for
buying
essential,
culturally
relevant
food
for
rental
assistance
Etc,
so
to
keep
them
funded
and
Nimble
is
important
over
the
next
six
months.
AT
The
second
thing
I
want
to
support
is
the
items
in
the
packet
about
the
arpa
funding
and
I.
Don't
understand
all
the
tranches
to
tell
you
the
truth,
but
in
particular
child
care
and
the
guaranteed
basic
income.
Child
care
is
the
hardest
thing
for
us
to
help
families
with
in
this
community
and
in
fact,
that
lower
income
may
be
attributable
in
part
to
the
loss
and
contraction
of
child
care
options
for
low-income
families,
the
guaranteed
basic
income,
I
kind
of
agree
with
councilman
Yates
on
the
term.
AT
But
it's
a
it's
a
really
important
time
to
inject
Financial
resilience
to
the
lowest
income
households.
We
have
18
000
jobs
in
the
city
of
Boulder
that
pay
under
five
fifteen
dollars
an
hour,
so
they
need
help
thanks.
B
So
much
Julie
and
for
everything
your
organization
does
to
support
families
in
our
community.
Okay,
so
we'll
bring
it
back
to
council.
So
we've
got
two
pieces
here.
What
one
of
them
is
the
supplemental
appropriation
to
the
2022
budget
and
the
second
is
the
arpa
funding
priorities.
So
I
wanted
to
start
out
by
just
checking
in
to
see
if
people
had
comments
or
changes
that
they
would
desire
to
the
supplemental
Appropriations,
the
22
budget,
any
issues
there.
L
I
moved
that
we
adopt
ordinance
8558.
A
S
C
B
Great
thanks
so
much
so
now.
Let's
turn
to
the
arpa
funding
priorities
and
what
will
we,
what
we
will
be
doing
here
is
giving
direction
to
staff
that
will
lead
to
an
official
appropriation
in
February
I.
Believe
right.
So
we
are
more
or
less
making
the
decision
tonight,
but
the
actual
vote
will
be
in
February
at
the
time
of
Appropriations,
so
I'll
just
open
it.
If
anyone
would
like
to
suggest
any
changes
to
the
staff
recommendation
on
the
arpa
funding,
I
got
yes
Tara
and
then
Matt.
G
First
I
want
to
thank
you,
Elizabeth,
that
was
a
great
presentation
and
so
heartfelt,
and
also
thanks
for
the
people
that
came
and
spoke.
I
know
a
lot
of
you
and
really
those
presentations
are
equally
as
great
and
heartfelt
and
also
moving
so
I
didn't
speak
much
tonight.
I
might
have
a
short
speech,
but
I'm
gonna
make
it
super
short
for
you.
G
Some
of
the
Arts
organizations
have
not
received
gos
funding
this
year,
which
matches
sanski
mentioned
the
Boulder
Field
the
boulder
ballet,
the
greater
Boulder
youth
Symphony,
and
we
know
there's
a
lot
more.
So
to
me,
is
this
not
what
the
arpa
funds
are
for?
Artists,
musicians
and
dancers?
G
Who,
because
of
the
pandemic,
can't
really
make
ends
meet
organizations
are
having
a
terrible
time
impossible
time
raising
needed
funds,
and
it's
really
the
organizations
that
provide
the
jobs,
also
for
the
musician's
dancers
and
artists,
and
so
they
are
really
crucial
and
by
the
way,
I
want
to
give
a
big
thanks
to
the
Arts
Community,
for
making
me
aware
of
this
and
for
your
commitment
to
Boulder
as
a
city
that
really
aspires
to
be
there
for
our
Arts
community.
G
So
the
Arts
Community
is
still
not
out
of
the
woods
yet
from
the
financial
adverse
effects
of
the
pandemic,
and
these
are
for
funds,
as
we
know,
are
a
one-time,
they're,
a
one-time
payment
and
so
and
they're
a
one-time
opportunity
to
really
help
both
the
individuals
and
the
organizations.
So,
as
you
know,
from
reading
my
hotline
post,
if
you
did
read
it,
I,
would
like
to
increase
the
150
000
of
arpa
funds,
we're
going
to
allocate
to
the
Arts
Community
to
250
000.
G
now
I
want
you
to
know
ahead
of
time
that
I'm
not
saying
in
any
way
that
the
safety
net
is
not
the
most
important
thing.
So
this
is
my
idea
to
fund
this
increase.
I
suggest
that
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
the
two
million
seven
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars,
plus
actually
three
million
dollars
allocated
for
the
guaranteed
income
pilot
program,
be
shifted
to
Arts
recovery
in
2023,
increasing
the
arpa
allocation
for
Arts
recovery
to
250
000
dollars.
G
But
my
thinking
is
the
guaranteed
income
pilot
program
is
not
starting
immediately
and
re.
We
can
reallocate
this
hundred
thousand
dollars
extra
and
that
will
still
allow
us
to
backfill
for
the
guaranteed
income
program
in
2023
adjustment
to
base,
so
maybe
Mark,
Cara
Mar.
The
other
Mark
can
speak
into
this.
If
you
want,
unless
Matt
wants
to
colically
first
I,
don't
know
you
want
to
call
it
I,
Love,
College,.
D
Much
and
I
think
we
just
need
to
say
colically
20
more
times
and
we'll
get
there
right
anyway.
I
appreciate
that
Tara
and
thank
you
for
your
thoughts
on
specifically
on
the
critical
needs
of
our
Arts
Community.
We've
heard
a
lot
about
that.
But,
more
importantly,
we
don't
even
need
to
hear
about
it.
We've
just
it's
a
it's,
a
common
known
that
they're
one
of
the
most
disproportionately
impacted
communities
from
the
pandemic
and
represent
some
of
our
most
diverse
groups
in
our
community.
So
my
my
comment
really
centers
around
seconding.
D
D
Fine
with
that
too
and
I'm
happy
to
discuss
with
my
colleagues
where
it
comes
from,
but
I
think
my
hope
is
that
we
can
get
to
a
place
where,
as
a
body,
we
want
to
and
are
compelled
to
invest
another
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
really
the
discussion
is
from
where
and
so
I'm
hoping
we
can
evolve
the
conversation
to
not
if
we
do
it,
but
we
will
do
it
and
then
from
where
do
we
pull
the
money
so
I'm
hopeful
that
that's
the
the
place
we
go
and
so
I'm
happy
to
have
it
come
from
some
part
of
the
public
health
reserve?
D
Some
of
this
from
guaranteed
income
pilot,
if
there's
other
places
or
some
of
the
parts
I
think
it's
really
critical-
that
we
invest
another
hundred
thousand
dollars
into
the
Arts,
because
we
heard
from
Matt
that
it
would
be
an
instantaneous
need,
especially
to
support
the
those
needing
venue,
affordability
and
online
event.
Funds.
B
Thanks
man,
so
what
I'll
say
is
we've
got
a
proposal
on
the
table
for
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
additional
art
funding
to
come
from
somewhere.
Some
some
discussion
on
that.
Does
anyone
else
have
any
other
proposals
for
changes
they'd
like
to
get
out
on
the
table,
because
I
think
it'd
be
good
to
have
the
full
set
that
people
are
thinking
of
before
we
go
into
the
discussion
any
other.
Does
anybody
have
all
right?
So
I
guess:
oh
yeah,
Lauren,
okay,
but
no,
so
it
looks
like
no
other
proposals.
B
AA
And
this
is
more,
maybe
a
follow-up
question
to
staff
I
see
that
so
under
the
continued
economic
recovery,
we
also
have
220
200
000
that
look
like
they're,
mostly
used
to
develop
and
Implement
special
events,
interactive
public
art
and
other
programs
to
activate
and
increase
the
number
of
visitors
and
I
was
just
wondering
how
the
allocation
of
those
funds
might
differ.
Diff
be
different
than
the
allocation
for
other
Arts
funds
like.
AN
It
yeah
and
and
I
think
that
they
would
be
very
specific
to
ways
of
activating
those
spaces,
and
a
lot
of
those
programs
are
yet
to
be
developed,
but
we
certainly
would
be
developing
them
with
the
office
of
arts
and
culture
as
well
as
Community
Vitality.
Okay,
thank.
AA
B
F
AL
Yes,
we
can
take
the
conversation.
Offline.
I
know
that
Matt
schezanski
was
talking
about
Consulting
with
the
Arts
commission,
so
that
might
buy
us
a
bit
of
time
to
identify
where
the
100K
could
come
from.
We
do
anticipate
ending
fund
balance
after
Reserve
in
the
general
fund
when
we
close
out
the
books.
We'll
have
a
better
idea
of
that
in
February
when
we
do
that
special
adjustment,
so
we
could
certainly
come
back
and
identify.
F
B
Great
thanks,
Mark
I'm,
calling
myself
good
and
then
and
then
I'll
go
to
Nicole,
because
I
was
I
was
going
to
ask
you
more
or
less
the
same
question
and
I.
Think
that
makes
sense
to
me.
B
AG
Just
everybody
who
spoke
in
public
comment
really
appreciate
it
and
I
think
you
know
one
one
of
the
things
that
I'm
thinking
about
is
that
the
process
for
how
to
spend
these
arpa
funds
and
do
it
in
a
way
that
centered
the
things
we
were
really
interested
in
centering,
like
Equity,
was
really
quite
thorough.
There
were
specific
guidelines
for
what
we
were
going
to
do.
There
was
a
lot
of
Engagement.
We
got
feedback
from
the
community
connectors
and
I
really
felt
like
we
came
out
with
kind
of
an
approach.
AG
You
know
I
heard
everybody's
interest
in
giving
more
more
of
that
money
to
the
Arts,
and
so
you
know,
staff
came
back
I
think
with
a
proposal
right
where
we
could
still
make
some
of
those
basic
needs.
But
in
this
idea
of
you
know
finding
another
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
artists,
which
I
mean
I,
do
love
that
idea.
AG
Why
aren't
we
doing
that
for
basic
needs
too
right
I
mean
what
what
is
the
process
that
we're
coming
up
with
to
decide
that
this
one
piece
gets
some
extra
funds
when
the
others
do
not
and
and
I
think,
that's
that's
just
where
I'm
sitting
with
some
discomfort
about
this.
It's
not
clear
to
me.
You
know
how
how
we
sort
of
arrived
at
this
one
spot
versus
the
many
other
needs
that
are
out
there
and
that
you
know
Julie
told
us
about
even
just
with
basic
needs.
L
No
I,
likewise,
it's
going
to
support
what
Tara
and
and
Matt
and
and
Mark
and
and
Aaron
has
have
said.
We
leave
the
staff
to
determine
where
the
best
place
for
the
hundred
thousand,
whether
it's
a
reallocation
of
the
arpa
funds
or
whether
we're
feeling
Rich
after
December
31.
You
guys
can
kind
of
figure
that
out
and
come
back
to
us
in
February
and
I
do
want
to
put
a
final
plug
for
getting
as
much
information
as
we
can
before
we
do.
L
The
the
allocation
on
the
guaranteed
data
programs
I
know
you're
spending
a
lot
of
money
to
gather
a
lot
of
data
and
I.
Think
it'd
be
really
wonderful
to
see
that
as
we're
as
we're
allocating
that
money
in
February
thanks
Elizabeth.
B
AA
I
guess
just
related
to
my
comment
earlier
that
when
I
look
at
this
budget
as
a
whole,
I
don't
see
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
art,
I,
see
350
000
for
art.
I.
Think
we've
already
achieved
sort
of
that
goal
that
you
guys
are
setting
out
in
terms
of
that
250
000,
but
and
I
think
that
Maybe
it's
in
how
those
things
are
worded
and
in
how
you
know
the
latitude.
AA
We
give
staff
in
terms
of
how
those
funds
are
assigned,
but
I
think
that
this
budget
includes
at
least
that
amount
of
money
for
Arts
already.
B
X
Thank
you
so
much
again,
I
think
this
is
where
I
wish
and
thank
you
for
bringing
that
Lauren
bringing
that
up.
I
do
know
when
I
first
heard
of
the
idea.
I
was
not
100
of
in
support
of
taking
the
money
out
of
guaranteed
income
and
when
I
heard
today
from
Julie.
It
cemented
that
for
me,
but
now
I
hear
that
hey,
let's
go
back,
let's
look
at
where
the
money
could
possibly
come
out
of
so
I
think.
X
So
I
would
be
in
support
if
it
comes
from
the
budget,
but
I.
Also
one
thing
too
I
guess
you
know,
council
member
spear
mentioned
is
that
you
know
we.
Maybe
we
should
find
money
for
other
things
as
well,
so
that
are
important
to
us
as
a
counsel.
Thank
you.
G
B
So
I
would
go
probably
for
a
quick
straw
poll
here
unless
yeah,
so
just
all
in
favor
of
the
proposal
on
the
table
for
the
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
additional
funding
to
become
from
a
place
of
status,
discretion
good
hand
race,
we
got
looks
like
we
got
a
eight,
nine,
okay
or
eight
and
a
half
good.
B
AG
And
I
just
had
a
quick
comment
for
the
public.
Anybody
who
has
done
any
kind
of
fundraising
for
a
non-profit
likely
knows
that
Boulder
has
one
of
the
lowest
rates
of
philanthropy
around
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
a
plug
for
the
public.
For
those
you
know
who
have
some
extra
funds
right
now,
we've
heard
tonight
from
some
organizations
in
our
community
that
are
doing
amazing
work
and
providing
a
lot
of
support
for
people
who
were
hit
hard
by
the
pandemic
and
need
it
now.
AG
B
A
A
A
A
C
C
B
All
right
so
in
accordance
with
this,
is
a
very
formal
process.
I
got
to
read
all
the
all
the
all
the
words
in
accordance
with
the
council
rules,
section
9.
We
will
now
conduct
the
election
for
mayor
Pro,
tem
I
will
first
go
over
the
procedure.
Council
members,
Speer
and
Wallach
have
expressed
their
interest
at
our
November
3rd
meeting.
We
will
hold
the
public
hearing.
First,
then
I
will
call
for
nominations.
No
second
is
needed
for
a
nomination,
but
I
will
look
to
the
council
member
nominated
for
acceptance.
You
can
turn
down
the
nomination.
B
After
all,
nominations
have
been
made,
I
will
call
for
a
motion
and,
second
to
close
the
nominations.
Then
I
will
open
the
floor
to
nominated
candidates
to
make
any
final
statements
if
they
choose,
as
well
as
any
other
council
members.
If
more
than
one
candidate
has
been
nominated
for
the
position.
I
will
then
ask
the
city
clerk
to
flip
a
coin.
Well,
there
it
is
to
choose
whether
we
go
in
alphabetical
or
reverse
alphabetical
order
to
vote
on
the
candidates.
B
We
will
vote
by
raising
hands
unless
Council
chooses
to
use
paper
ballots,
which
I
think
can
we
just
raise
hands?
It's
like.
C
C
B
No,
no,
all
right,
let's
just
no
we'll
just
raise
our
hands
right.
Okay,
the
candidate
to
receive
a
majority
vote
shall
be
elected
as
mayor
Pro
tem
for
the
next
year
and
before
we
get
going.
I
just
want
to
thank
both
Nicole
and
Mark
for
putting
their
names
forward.
The
community
would
benefit
from
either
of
your
service.
So
thanks
for
your
willingness,
all
right
so
I
will
now
open
the
public
hearing
for
mayor
Pro.
Tem
we've
got
three
people
signed
up
to
speak
in
person
and
16
signed
up
to
speak.
AU
Good
evening
Council,
my
name
is
Chase
Cromwell
I'm,
the
director
of
legislative
affairs
with
CU
Boulders,
Student
Government,
we're
here
on
behalf
of
the
executive
cusg
and
the
broader
student
body,
and
we're
here
to
urge
you
to
support
councilwoman
Nicole
Speer
for
mayor
Pro
tem,
one
of
cu's
taglines
is
be
bold
as
we
enter
the
next
year.
We
really
want
to
urge
you
and
and
urge
the
rest
of
our
community
leaders
to
be
bolder
in
our
leadership.
AU
We
collectively
our
team
spend
our
time
fighting
for
the
needs
of
our
students
and
exploring
ways
to
deepen
the
connections
that
this
generation
of
Buffs
have
to
our
community.
It's
critical
that
our
local
leaders
outside
of
the
University
campus,
understand
and
believe
that
our
students
are
welcome
here
and
support
our
students
as
they
progress
through
their
University
experience.
That
means
supporting
them
when
they're
off
campus
as
they
learn
how
to
become
part
of
a
community
outside
of
their
own
age
and
interest
groups.
AU
We
need
our
local
leadership
to
be
as
diverse
and
representative
to
be
as
diverse
and
representatives
as
many
communities
that
call
Boulder
home,
not
because
we
need
to
check
boxes
and
be
performative.
We
know
that
Boulder
at
its
best
is
above
that
we
are
excited
and
encouraged
by
Nicole's,
deep
commitment
to
bettering
Boulder
and
by
engaging
humbly
with
our
community.
Nicole
has
worked
hard
to
build
connections
with
our
team
and
our
students
and
regularly
connects
to
ask
questions,
Share
info
or
ideas
and
better
understand
how
her
work
and
consequently
yours
can
better
serve
us
all.
AU
AV
All
right
good
evening,
Council,
my
name
is
Matt
Hess
and
I
am
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
Nicole
Speer
I
currently
live
in
Lafayette,
but
I
went
to
Crestview
Elementary,
then
Centennial
and
then
Boulder
High
I
currently
attend
first
Congregational
Church
of
Christ
I'm
United
Church
of
Christ
in
Boulder,
and
then
I
am
the
executive
director
of
a
non-profit
that
does
include
Boulder
in
the
service
area
as
well.
So
special
thank
you
to
Nicole
for
shouting
out
giving
Tuesday.
AV
That's
just
definitely
an
example
of
her
leadership
that
she
can
bring
to
the
community
as
a
whole
Beyond.
Just
even
what
happens.
Within
These,
Chambers
and
I
really
appreciate
that
and
I'm
going
to
be
pretty
quick
tonight,
because
it's
late
and
I
think
my
point
is
pretty
simple:
Boulder
presents
itself
as
a
diverse,
inclusive,
Equitable
community
and
unfortunately
we
still
have
a
ways
to
go
and
a
vote
for
Nicole
is
a
vote
in
that
direction.
AQ
Hansen
theme
I,
live
in
the
holiday
neighborhood
I'm
here
tonight
to
support
my
good
friend,
Dr
Nicole
Speer
for
mayor
Pro
tem
of
Boulder.
This
Council
began
its
term
with
an
ambitious
work
plan
and
it
will
take
intelligent
and
inclusive
leadership
to
see
it
through
and
Nicole
has
these
qualities
in
spades.
AQ
For
as
long
as
I've
known
her
Nicole
has
been
committed
to
making
space
for
the
knowledge
and
needs
of
folks
who,
no
matter
how
easy
we
make
it,
we'll
never
be
in
the
room
on
nights
like
tonight
to
say
nothing
of
having
the
opportunity
to
influence
the
agenda.
Student
leaders,
unhoused
people,
women
of
color,
queer
folks,
working
parents.
AQ
N
AQ
Housing,
climate
and
racial
and
economic
Justice
are
generational
challenges
and
we
should
have
leadership
at
every
level
that
is
committed
to
progress
on
all
fronts.
The
array
of
speakers
here
tonight
should
be
evidence
that
the
selection
you're
making
matters
to
the
direction
the
city
takes.
I
hope
you
will
Elevate
Dr
Speer
to
Mayor
Pro
tem
to
support
the
commitments
this
Council
has
made.
Thank
you.
R
AJ
Thank
you
and
good
evening.
Most
of
you
know
me
as
Nicholas
spouse,
however
I'm
more
than
that
and
tonight
I'm
speaking
to
you
as
a
community
member,
that
leads
a
large
international
team
for
one
of
the
largest
and
most
valuable
companies
in
the
world,
and
it's
someone
who
knows
and
recognizes
leadership
leadership
is
the
strength
to
stand
up
shine,
a
light
on
and
courageously
challenge
systems
and
processes
that
do
harm
more
than
that.
AJ
It
is
also
accepting
the
responsibility
of
not
just
identifying
problems,
but
also
a
proposing
potential
solutions
that
are
aligned
with
one's
principles
and
values,
especially
when
those
Solutions
may
be
unpopular
as
most
recently
demonstrated
by
her
role
in
prioritizing
and
bringing
forward
even
your
elections
in
the
work
plan
and
its
overwhelming
support
at
The
Ballot
Box
Nicole
is
the
leader
that
this
city
needs
today
and
tomorrow.
She
leads
through
service,
sticks
to
her
inclusive
principles
and
pushes
this
city
to
be
a
better
place
for
everyone.
AJ
This
election
is
not
just
honorary
or
perfunctory,
nor
is
it
apolitical.
It
will
have
real
impact
on
the
voices
that
are
heard
and
on
how
agendas
are
set.
This
election
is
a
decision
of
consequence
and,
as
such,
your
vote
should
be
values
based.
Your
vote
speaks
volumes
regarding
the
values
that
guide
your
decisions,
a
vote
for
Nicole
values,
inclusion
over
a
short-lived
tradition
that
won't
be
relevant
and
even
a
year's
time.
A
vote
for
Nicole
values.
Moving
this
city
forward
over
the
status
quo.
AJ
AO
Thank
you,
Council.
We
have
made
great
strides
in
this
town
toward
progress
and
a
more
inclusive
community,
but
we
have
a
long
way
to
go.
It's
amazing
that
this
Council
has
the
opportunity
to
ensure
that
its
leaders
reflect
the
values
of
the
electorate.
This
is
a
council
whose
majority
represents
Progressive
values;
those
include
affordability,
Community
safety
for
everyone,
regardless
of
their
housing
situation
or
ethnicity,
diversity,
Equity,
inclusion,
public
investment,
the
community.
AO
Each
of
you
serves,
expects
you
to
continue
to
advance
these
values
with
every
decision
and
today
that
decision
involves
who
will
be
a
part
of
your
leadership
team
mayor
Pro
tem
should
be
chosen
on
Merit
on
values
on
what
is
the
right
direction
of
this
city.
For
this
city,
to
go
in
choosing
based
on
seniority,
reinforces
exactly
the
kind
of
structures
that
delay
progress
and
reduce
Community
Trust.
Please
don't
vote
based
on
whose
turn
it
is
next.
This
Council
needs
Direction
and
conviction,
and
we
need
Progressive
leadership
to
tackle
these
big
issues.
AO
That
is
why
I
urge
you
to
support
Nicole
Speer
for
this
role.
She's
shown
her
commitment
to
inclusive
governance
and
strong,
outspoken,
Progressive
values
which
people
in
this
community
have
worked
hard
to
deliver
and
which
voters
have
shown
they
Embrace.
We
just
don't
have
time
to
uphold
a
process
that
doesn't
Advance
the
important
goals.
Many
of
you
were
elected
to
advance.
Let's
keep
going,
let's
keep
making
progress.
AW
Good
evening
Council,
mayor
Pro
tem
has
always
been
a
non-political
appointment
going
to
the
council
member
with
the
longest
tenure
who
has
not
previously
served
Mark
Wallach
has
served
three
times
the
tenure
of
his
Challenger
three
years
to
one
year.
Part
of
serving
is
having
experience
with
the
procedures
and
processes
of
counsel.
Over
time,
Mark
has
earned
the
position
of
Mayor
Pro
Tim
serving
his
second
term
on
Council
he's
one
of
our
hardest
working
and
brightest
council
members.
AW
He
fully
supports
Boulders
residents
mission
of
improved
Public
Safety,
and
he
received
an
historical
record-breaking
number
of
votes.
Last
fall.
The
stated
objective
of
having
public
city
council
meetings
is
to
gather
input
from
the
public.
Mark
listens
when
citizens
speak
at
public
hearings
and
open
comment,
he's
not
reading
the
packet
or
checking
his
phone
or
avoiding
eye
contact
with
the
speakers.
AW
A
fact
that
is
indicative
of
his
genuine
interest
in
doing
good
for
the
city
and
the
people
of
Boulder
Mark,
prepares
carefully
reads
and
studies
the
packet
material
to
ensure
a
solid
understanding
of
issues
you
show
you
saw
his
pertinent
questions
this
evening.
He
proposes
strong
arguments
and
ideas
he
listens
and
engages
when
there
is
disagreement,
Mark
respects,
rather
than
ignoring
the
advice
of
City
staff
on
issues
when
Chief
Harold
indicates
the
kind
of
support
she
needs.
AW
He
reinforces
that
with
his
public
speaking
and
actions
instead
of
ignoring
it
or
trying
to
counter
it
mayor,
Pro
tem
is
an
honor
typically
bestow
out
on
a
senior
council
person
and
Mark
is
not
a
newcomer.
He
knows
City
business
thoroughly.
Please
support
Mark
as
our
next
mayor,
Pro
tem,
the
candidate
without
a
personal
agenda.
AX
Thank
you
for
having
me
I
expressed
my
strong
endorsement
for
Mark
Wallach
for
mayor
Pro.
Tem
Mark
represents
all
of
Boulder
and
recognizes
and
prioritizes
the
values
of
the
whole
community.
He
is
fair,
thoughtful
engaged,
thorough,
balanced
and
inclusive,
and
he
votes
in
a
way
that
will
benefit
our
entire
community.
AX
The
mayor
and
thus
mayor
Pro
tem,
should
represent
all
of
Boulder
and
be
free
of
partisan
influences.
The
fact
that
Mark
received
the
highest
number
of
votes
in
the
last
Council
election
is
a
testament
to
his
broad
appeal
and
speaks
to
his
ability
to
vote
based
on
the
will
of
the
people,
not
a
personal
or
Fringe
agenda.
AX
He
is
the
most
senior
council
member
and
this
experience
gives
him
valuable
insight
and
context
to
tackle
the
many
new
challenges
Boulder
is
facing
naming,
namely
Public,
Safety
and
crime.
Mark
Wallach
is
a
subtle
but
strong
leader
that
has
the
best
interests
of
Boulder
at
heart.
Please
appoint
him
for
mayor
Pro
tem.
Thank
you.
AY
Thank
you,
Erin
I'm,
Karen,
holweg
and
I've
been
reading
mark
wallach's
op-eds
on
Civic
matters
for
over
six
years
and
have
followed
his
work
on
city
council
for
three
years,
I'm
speaking
tonight,
to
urge
you
to
select
him
as
mayor
Pro
tem
for
three
reasons.
First,
Mark's
values
and
skills
resonate
with
members
of
our
community
I.
Believe
that's
at
the
root
of
why
he
received
the
most
votes
of
any
council
member
in
recent
history.
AY
Second,
he
listens
carefully
and
provides
thoughtful
comments
on
the
full
range
of
issues
before
Council.
He
commits
the
time
necessary
to
fully
review
and
digest
Council
packets,
as
shown
in
the
substantive
hotline
comments
and
questions
he
posts
before
meetings
and
finally,
Mark's
ability
to
provide
in-depth
Financial
analyzes
based
on
the
community's
identified
priorities
are
very
impressive,
since
we
are
in
the
process
of
coming
out
of
the
pandemic
with
its
large
Federal
subsidies
and
are
now
entering
a
period
of
decision
making
regarding
how
to
allocate
literally
millions
of
dollars
based
on
our
election
decisions.
AY
AZ
Can
you
hear
me?
Okay,
yes,
hi.
My
name
is
Martha
Palmer
and
I've
lived
in
Boulder
since
2005.
I
came
here
to
join
CU
as
a
professor
and
for
the
last
12
months,
I've
been
trying
to
retire.
I
saw
my
first
city
council
meeting
two
weeks
ago
and
I
am
still
astonished
at
how
exhausting
it
was.
I
am
incredibly
impressed
by
how
much
time,
energy
and
effort
each
one
of
you
puts
into
the
job
of
being
a
council
member,
and
thank
you
all
very
much
for
what
you
do.
AZ
I'd
like
to
speak
in
favor
of
Nicole
Spears
Candace
C
for
mayor
Pro,
Tem
I've,
known
Nicole.
More
than
five
years,
I
first
met
her
through
the
university
since
her
neuroimaging
lab
as
part
of
the
Institute
of
cognitive
science,
which
I'm
also
affiliated
with
at
work.
She
is
intelligent,
organized
and
efficient.
She
makes
a
complicated
job
scene.
We
see
I
soon
realized
that
we
also
attend
the
same
church.
First
Congregational
at
church
I've
seen
a
devoted
partner
and
mother
who
meets
others
with
honesty,
vulnerability
and
openness.
AZ
Finally,
more
recently
I've
gotten
to
see
her
in
more
political
Arenas
Democratic
party
events
and
that
last
public
council
meeting
there
I
see
a
tireless
commitment
to
understanding
every
issue
in
detail
and
ensuring
the
best
possible
outcome
for
everyone
concerned.
AZ
BA
Good
evening
my
name
is
Mike
Shriner,
Pine,
Street,
Boulder
Colorado,
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
tonight
speaking
tonight
to
strongly
urge
you
to
appoint
Mark
Wallach
for
the
mayor,
Pro
tem
position
as
to
Merit.
As
you
undoubtedly
know,
by
now,
Mark
is
smart,
thoughtful,
fair
and
inclusive.
His
posts
on
the
hotline
and
letters
to
the
editor
in
the
camera
clearly
show
his
fair,
an
unbiased
approach
to
all
issues
before
Council
is
detailed,
incisive
and,
and
he
does
a
deep
dive
on
all
Council
issues.
BA
BA
Finally,
Mark
earned
this
position.
He
was
on
his
second
term
on
Council
won
the
most
votes
in
the
last
election
and
has
demonstrated
the
chops
for
the
job.
Disappointment
should
really
be
a
no-brainer,
the
fact
that
it's
apparently
not
as
disappointing
and
foreshadows
increasing
local
political
divisiveness
that
to
now
we've
been
able
to
rise
above.
Thank
you
for
your
time.

Lisa
Spalding
University
Hill,
I've
known
and
worked
with
council
member
Wallach
since
long
before
he
ran
for
city
council.
He
has
a
keen
intellect
thoroughly
studies.
Every
issue
that
comes
before
him
weighs
facts,
impartionally
and
works
with
all
interested
parties
in
an
effort
to
reach
the
best
possible
result
he's
also
an
excellent
listener,
which
is
a
basic
requirement
for
any
elected
official.
AI
It's
been
the
practice
of
the
city
council
to
elect
the
most
senior
member
who
has
not
previously
served
as
mayor
Pro
tem
to
that
position,
which
you've
heard
previously,
you
will
be
upholding
that
tradition.
If
you
elect
council
member
Wallach
as
a
longtime,
Boulder,
Democrat
I
believe
our
traditions
and
Council
collegiality
are
extremely
important.
AI
He
is
also,
of
course,
as
you've
also
heard
that
we
heard
before
the
lead
vote
getter
and
the
city
council
and
a
member
with
a
great
deal
of
experience.
I
can
guarantee
that
Council
agenda
committee
meetings
will
be
a
pleasure
for
all
involved
since
council
member
Wallach
is
a
genial
person
with
an
excellent
sense
of
humor
that
tempers
even
the
most
serious
or
fractious
discussions.
Thank
you.
BB
Good
evening,
council
members,
my
name
is
Ryan
shuhard
speaking
in
support
of
Dr
Nicole
Speer
for
mayor
Pro
Temp
until
this
race
I
hadn't,
given
the
position
of
Mayor,
Pro,
tem,
much
thought
so.
I
reviewed,
Dr,
Speer
and
council
member
Wallach
speeches,
and
then
I
had
to
do
it
again,
because
I
felt,
like
I,
was
hearing
candidates
running
for
different
positions
and
then
I
realized.
Yes,
this
is
a
job
that
could
be
different
thanks.
BB
On
the
one
hand,
the
mayor,
Pro
temrel,
could
be
mostly
ceremonial
a
job
that
is
not
actively
seeking
to
to
agitate
for
change
on
another.
It
could
be
a
Podium
to
queue
up
dialogue
about
big
problems
and
strategic
reforms.
It
could
be
a
voice
that
reminds
us
about
the
ease
with
which
our
everyday
meeting
language
and
Customs
tend
to
enshrine
the
status
quo
and
seek
to
create
more
practical
ways
for
discussing
real
creative
problem.
Solving
one
thing:
that's
not
is
neutral
of
Politics.
The
decision
to
say
things
are
fine
like
they
are.
BB
BB
The
functions
of
this
position
in
the
body
trying
to
make
new
changes
mean
that
it
is
a
role
that
has
quite
a
lot
of
power.
That
power
includes
setting
the
tone
among
our
community
on
who
city
council
represents
and
the
concerns
that
have
the
most
priority.
It
includes
personal
connections
with
community
members
who
can
help
to
advance
the
work
of
the
city
and
it
includes
being
instrumental
in
setting
the
table
for
decisions
Council
undertakes
and
how
the
ideas
and
the
choices
around
those
decisions
are
framed.
BB
There's
a
whole
set
of
things
that
many
of
you
counselors
care
about,
including
Safe,
Streets,
inclusive
access
to
Transportation,
solutions
for
housing
scarcity,
climate
action
and
equity,
and
for
those
issues
this
job
could
be
decisive
for
results.
Dr
Speer
is
a
candidate
who
brings
an
incredible
amount
of
force,
regardless
of
the
outcome.
I'm
grateful
to
both
contestants
for
their
service
for,
through
this,
their
service
and
forth.
Through
this
race,
prompting
more
dialogue
about
what
Boulder
is
and
what
it
can
be,
thank
you.
AK
Good
evening,
council
members,
my
name
is
Sarah
silver
I
live
in
Whittier
and
have
been
a
boulder
resident
for
16
years,
I
serve
on
planning
board,
but
I'm
here
tonight.
In
my
personal
capacity,
it's
a
little
weird
to
be
on
this
side
of
the
podium.
So
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
tonight
in
support
of
Mark
Wallach
for
mayor
Pro
tem
in
his
three
years
on
Council
Mark
has
proven
himself
to
be
in
judicious,
hard-working,
well-prepared
and
wicked.
Smart
I
happen
to
be
a
big
fan
of
his
hotline
posts.
AK
They
always
give
me
great
insight
into
the
challenges.
Council
is
working
on
Mark,
seeks
to
understand
the
factors
underlying
Boulder's
challenges
and
works
closely
with
staff,
the
public
and
his
fellow
council
members
to
identify
effective
solutions
to
those
challenges
he's
not
driven
by
ego
or
agenda,
but
rather
by
the
desire
to
solve
problems.
AK
AK
All
ideas
are
considered
and
that
Council
finds
points
of
agreement
that
result
in
progress
for
Boulder
Mark
will
bring
to
the
role
of
Mayor
Pro
tem,
the
values
of
respectful,
inclusive
and
productive
discourse
required
for
this
role.
I
urge
you
to
support
Mark
for
mayor
Pro
tem.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
J
B
Good
we'll
come
back
to
him.
Thank
you
thanks
Brenda,
so
now,
Lucy,
Carlson,
krakov
and
then
Chelsea
Castellano.
E
AS
E
Is
with
enthusiasm
that
I
asked
city
council
to
elect
Dr
Nicole
Speer
as
mayor
pro-10
I
met
Dr
Spielberg,
while
working
to
translate
her
city
council
campaign's
social
media
into
Spanish.
This
was
Dr
Spears
initiative,
which
speaks
to
her
strong
values
of
inclusion
and
accessibility.
I
bring
up
this
example
because,
as
a
young
person,
passionate
about
Boulder's
future
I
am
concerned
with
making
sure
the
voice
of
every
bold
right
is
included
in
city
council.
E
Dr
Speer
will
uplift
and
amplify
these
voices,
as
evidenced
by
her
past
work,
spearheading
inclusive,
inclusive
housing
initiatives
and
her
involvement
with
feet
forward
a
direct
support
Organization
for
the
boulder
house
list.
In
addition
to
Dr
speer's
obvious
merits,
I
recommend
her
election
because,
as
a
young
woman,
I
am
dismayed
by
the
possibility
of
an
all-male
Council
leadership
directing
majority
female
counsel.
E
We
are
past
the
point
of
gender
role,
nearing
structures
such
as
these
speaking
of
the
past
some
say
we
should
elect
the
most
senior
council
person
as
mayor
Pro
tem,
just
based
on
the
amount
of
time
they
have
been
on
Council.
This
makes
no
sense
to
me.
Instead,
let
us
select
the
person
that
most
represents
our
values
of
forward
inclusion
and
love.
Boulder
should
be
a
home
for
Crime
climate
resilient
and
a
humanitarian
future,
not
a
relic
of
the
past.
E
N
Hi
so
last
year,
abroad,
Coalition
of
people
and
Community
groups
came
to
came
together
to
help
elect
candidates
that
would
move
our
city
in
a
direction
toward
progress
together.
We
unanimously
unanimously
decided
not
to
endorse
Mark
Wallach,
because
he
fundamentally
does
not
share
our
values
or
priorities
and
has
made
that
abundantly
clear
through
his
words
and
actions
you
represent
over
a
hundred
thousand
people
in
this
community
and
the
most
vulnerable
of
them.
Vulnerable
of
them
are,
depending
on
youth,
to
get
your
work
plan
done.
N
I,
don't
think
I
need
to
tell
you
that
this
will
be
undoubtedly
harder
with
the
mayor,
Pro
tem
that
doesn't
support
that
work
plan.
The
issues
you
committed
to
to
tackling
are
Urgent,
and
yet
more
than
a
full
year
in,
and
only
one
out
of
ten
of
your
work
plan
priorities
is
complete:
moving
Boulders
Off
cycle
elections
to
even
years
which
Mark
notably
opposed
while
the
slope
progress
has
been
frustrating.
Many
of
us
have
been
understanding
that
there
has
been
a
lot
out
of
your
control.
N
We
are
coming
out
of
a
pandemic
and
our
short
staff,
but
this
decision
tonight
you
are
making
is
in
your
control
whether
you
vote
to
appoint
a
mayor.
Pro
tem,
who
opposes
much
of
your
agenda,
is
on
you
and
the
repercussions
of
that
choice
would
also
be
on.
You
I've
heard
the
argument
that
Mark
should
be
blindly
appointed
as
mayor
Pro
tem,
because
of
the
tradition
that
the
job
should
go
and
whoever
has
been
on
Council
longus
that
it
would
be
unfair
to
not
appoint
mark
But.
N
When
you
think
about
fairness,
please
don't
think
about
it
in
terms
of
which
of
you
gets
your
turn,
but
instead
in
terms
of
what
parts
of
the
community
have
consistently
been
underrepresented
and
what
it
would
mean
to
have
an
openly
lgbtq,
plus
mayor,
Pro,
tem,
and
what
it
would
mean
to
vote
against
her
right
now.
Boulder
needs
to
uplift.
Lgbtq
plus
leadership.
Boulder
needs
to
see
gender
parity
in
our
Council
leadership.
Boulder
needs
leaders
who
will
stand
up
and
actively
fight
for
renters
workers,
the
in-house
and
the
future
of
young
people
and
families.
N
B
Thank
you
Chelsea.
Can
we
give
Matt
Bissonnet
another
try
please.
BC
BC
Oh
great
I
appreciate
your
patience.
Sorry
for
the
technical
Matt,
Bissonnet,
Boulder,
City,
resident
and
I
do
volunteer
on
one
of
the
boulder
boards,
but
I'm
speaking
here
in
my
personal
capacity
and
speaking
in
favor
of
Mark
Wallach
for
mayor
Pro,
tem
and
kind
of
coming
at
this
in
a
different
perspective,
I
think
than
the
speakers
I've
heard
before.
BC
But
you
know
my
view
is
that
I
appreciate
the
work
everybody
does
on
the
council
and
it's
a
it's
a
thankless
job
in
many
ways,
and
it's
a
lot
of
time
and
a
lot
of
effort
and
I
agree
with
everything.
That's
been
said
about
Mark
and
I
am
a
supporter
of
his
I.
Don't
I?
Don't
disagree,
though,
with
the
the
points
that
have
been
made
about
council
member
spear
either,
but
my
approach
to
this
is:
it
traditionally
has
gone
to
somebody
who's
who's.
BC
It's
been
cited
as
the
most
senior
and
hasn't
served
and
it
seems
like
you
know.
We
have
plenty
of
issues
to
argue
about
and
debate,
and
you
know
this
as
I
understand
the
position.
It
doesn't
have
a
significant
effect
on
the
agenda
of
the
city
council.
The
actions
that
the
city
council
is
going
to
take
the
priorities
of
the
city
council.
It
seems
that
everyone
gets
a
fair
vote.
We
vote
every
two
years,
and
so
this
just
seemed
like
another
opportunity
to
create.
BC
You
know
to
force
people
to
take
sides
when
we
have
plenty
of
other
issues
where
we
have
to
do
that
and
I
think
collegiality
is,
is
super
important,
with
the
board
working
together
and
being
able
to
at
times
set
aside
politics
and
just
work
together,
and
this
seems
like
an
opportunity
to
you
know
unnecessarily,
to
force
people
to
take
sides.
So
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak
and
it
would
vote
for
ask
for
the
support
for
mark.
Thank
you.
B
B
L
L
For
you
Aaron,
would
you
like
us
to
just
State
our
nomination
and
then
hold
our
comments,
or
do
you
want
us
to
make
a
nomination
and
comments.
B
Just
the
nomination
for
Now
comments
will
come
in
a
minute.
Please
great
thanks.
L
I
nominate
my
colleague,
Mark
Wallach,
Premier
Pro
Tem.
B
Good
not
seeing
any
others
is
there
a
motion
to
close
the
nominations.
B
Got
a
motion
and
a
second
can
I
see
a
show
of
hands
close
the
nominations,
all
right,
that's
unanimous.
So
the
nominations
are
now
closed
and
so
now
I'll
invite
the
candidates
to
make
a
statement
if
they
would
like
and
then
we'll
turn
to
other
council
members
before
we
then
go
to
a
vote.
So
would
the
candidates
like
to
speak.
B
C
AG
Super
short
I
already
spoke
on
the
third
I
just
want
to
say
a
big
thank
you
to
everybody
who
stayed
up
late
with
us
tonight,
especially
those
who
came
in
person
and
actually
had
to
put
on
real
pants.
Thank
you,
but
I,
just
I'm
really
grateful
by
everybody
who's
showing
up
tonight
and
participating
in
this
process.
I
think
we
are
stronger
as
a
community
when
more
of
us
are
participating
in
in
our
decisions.
So
just
thank
you
to
everybody
who
showed
up
tonight
and
I
hope.
F
We've
heard
a
lot
of
impassioned
speakers
tonight
on
both
sides
and
in
effect
it
seems
to
me
that
we
have
begun
to
politicize
a
designation
that
should
be
free
of
politics
and
I.
Deeply
regret
that
as
I
do
not
believe
this
serves
our
Council
well,
there
should
be
spaces
in
our
Council
where
that
should
be
free
of
politics
and
where
political
considerations
should
be
irrelevant.
F
I
am
hoping
that
going
forward.
This
can
be
one
of
them
and
other
than
that.
I
I
basically
stand
on
my
experience
and
hope
for
a
favorable
consideration.
Thank
you.
A
AI
AA
It
was
jarring
to
me
to
hear
that
our
mayor,
Pro
tem
position
was
likely
to
be
filled
based
on
a
council
tradition.
I
had
honestly
never
heard
of,
rather
than
simply
based
on
Merit
I.
Believe
many
in
the
community
will
be
similarly
surprised
to
find
a
majority
female
counsel.
If
a
majority
meet
female
counsel
appoints
two
straight
white
men
as
figureheads
for
our
city,
our
council
is
already
somewhat
a
somewhat
homogeneous
group
that
fails
to
represent
the
diversity
of
our
community
on
a
variety
of
levels.
AA
AA
Ruth
Bader
Ginsburg
said.
As
women
achieve
Powers,
the
barriers
will
fall
as
Society
sees
what
women
can
do.
As
women
see
what
women
can
do,
there
will
be
more
women
out
there
doing
things,
and
we
will
all
be
better
for
it.
I
believe
this
holds
true
not
only
for
women,
but
for
people
from
any
marginalized
group.
AA
I
hear
arguments
that
this
tradition
is
egalitarian.
It
benefits
us
all
eventually
and
I.
I
can't
help
but
question
that
statement.
I
can't
help,
but
think
of
the
number
of
times
I've
heard
this
line
used
as
a
justification
and
seen
my
mother
and
my
friends
passed
over
for
opportunities
on
so
many
levels.
We
have
rules
that
are
written
to
resist
change
and,
regardless
of
how
successful
it
has
been,
this
is
an
example
of
a
process
that
was
made
to
benefit
those
who
have
traditionally
held
power.
AA
AA
L
Well,
I
I'll
just
say
that
I
think
that
we
are
truly
blessed
to
have
two
great
people
who
would
like
to
serve
us
and
I
want
to
thank
both
of
you
for
putting
yourself
out
there.
I
did
the
job
a
few
years
ago
and
it's
a
lot
of
work
right
Rachel.
It's
a
lot
of
work.
I
really
want
to
thank
both
of
you
for
stepping
up.
There.
L
L
I
heard
about
Mark's
intelligence
and
his
commitment,
his
compassion,
I
heard
about
Nicole's
intelligence
and
commitment
and
compassion,
and
they
were
all
right.
I
mean
we
have
two
wonderful,
wonderful
colleagues
here
who
would
who
would
both
be
wonderful,
mayor,
Pro,
tems
and
I
hope
that
each
one
of
them
has
an
opportunity
to
serve
in
mayor
Pro
Tem
as
a
matter
of
fact,
I
think
all
nine
of
us?
L
Well,
not
all
eight
of
my
colleagues
would
be
wonderful
mayor,
Pro
towns
and
I
hope
that
each
of
you
who
hasn't
done
it
yet
will
take
advantage
of
it
at
some
point
in
time.
Aaron's
done
it,
Jenny's
done
it.
Rachel
is
finishing
up
her
service.
I've
had
opportunity
to
do
that,
and
the
nice
thing
about
our
system.
L
Is
we
it's
one
year
term
and
it's
not
renewable
I,
don't
think
that
anyone's
ever
served
Merit
Pro
tem
more
than
once,
and
what
that
means
mathematically
is
is
most
people
will
have
the
opportunity
to
do
that
during
their
timeline,
Council
and
I
think
that's
really
great
I
think
that's
really
fantastic
and
so
I
with
all
that
said.
L
I
do
think
that
experience
matters
there's
two
primary
jobs
of
the
mayor,
Pro
tem,
and
that
is
to
serve
on
the
council
agenda
committee,
which
does
require
some
experience
because
you're
trying
to
balance
agendas
you're
trying
to
figure
out
how
long
things
will
take
you're
trying
to
determine
whether
or
not
things
are
ready
for
prime
time
from
staff
and
then,
of
course,
the
mayor,
Pro
tem
has
occasionally
asked
to
step
in
to
substitute
for
the
mayor
and
I
think
both
of
those
responsibilities
to
require
some
experience
and
and
Mark
does
have
more
experience
than
Nicole
does
at
this
time.
L
R
X
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
mean
I
heard
the
speeches
given
I
have
made
my
statement
public
on
who
I
will
be
supporting,
which
is
my
council
member
Nicole,
Speer
I,
do
believe.
My
experience
on
Council
has
been
enriched
because
of
her
presence
here
and
another
thing
too,
when
I
hear
a
lot
of
community
members
said
well,
this
job
is
not
political,
it
is
very
political
and
I
can
understand
if
you're
someone
who's
privileged
and
who
so
often
you
know
it's
always
in
an
elevator
straight
to
the
top.
X
You
don't
have
to
advocate
for
your
rights,
but
for
a
lot
of
people
in
the
community.
The
everyday
is
political
and
I
did
not
come
up
with
that.
So,
with
all
that
said,
I
supported
everything.
That's
been
said
by
my
council
member
folkerts
and
I
I'm
voting
for
my
colleague
and
friend,
council
member
spear.
B
So
this
has
been
a
great
challenge
for
me,
this
process
and
this
decision
I
respect.
My
two
colleagues
here
both
greatly
I,
think
we
would
be
well
served
by
either
of
them
in
this
role,
and
you
know
we,
we
have
had
a
process
where
council
members
have
rotated
through
this
role
one
year
at
a
time.
You
know
the
generally.
The
people
who've
been
around
served
the
longest.
You
know
taking
their
turns
in
that
role,
and
you
know
that's
resulted.
You
know.
B
I've
enjoyed
serving
together
and
Juni
was
the
one
before
that
and
also
did
a
great
job
and
before
that
and
and
I
think
that
that
a
primary
value
of
that
it's
has
not
been
to
keep
hegemony
or
the
status
quo,
but
to
de-politicize
the
role
and
I
know
a
couple
of
us
served
as
mayor
Pro
tem
when
we
were
not
in
the
political
majority,
so
we
we
would
not
have
gotten
the
votes
if
it
had
been
a
matter
of
of
who
people
were
closest
to
politically
but
but
were
able
to
to
serve
and
I.
B
Think
do
a
good
job
of
of
serving
the
community
and
we
have
such
deep
dysfunction
in
our
governments
at
so
many
levels.
Right
now
you
know.
Of
course
the
federal
government
is
torn
apart
with
divisiveness
and
dysfunction
and
and
our
state
level
governments
don't
do
much
better,
and
one
thing
I've
always
been
really
proud
of
at
the
local
level.
Is
that
our
councils
generally
work
together.
B
Well
that
we
will
disagree
on
an
issue
and
then
come
back
around
the
next
week
and
work
together
anyway
and
maybe
vote
together
on
the
next
issue
and
I
feel
like
we
have
been
a
very
productive
body
in
a
Land
of
governments
that
are
not
productive
and
we're
not-
and
this
is
not
true
of
all
local
governments,
there
have
been
cities
across
the
Front
Range
that
have
just
been
driven
by
Deep
political
divisions
that
have
had
100
round
votes
for
mayor's,
Pro,
tem,
literally
and
so
I've
I've
always
been
glad
that
our
community
has
been
able
to
take
that
different
approach.
B
And
then
you
know
the
the
biggest
duty
of
the
mayor,
Pro
tem,
is
to
serve
on
CAC,
which
I've
done.
For
you
know
a
couple
years
over
the
last
seven
years,
and
and
when
it
comes
to
that,
it's
it
really
is
is
like.
Does
this
item
need
60
Minutes,
or
does
it
need
75
minutes?
I
mean
that
that's
really
the
main
thing
that
you're
deciding
on
and
having
been
around
a
little
longer
is
is
helpful
for
that
stuff.
B
You've
seen
more
you've
seen
more
hearings,
more
meetings,
and
you
have
a
better
sense
in
general
of
of
how
that
goes.
So
I
think
there
is
a
real,
concrete,
practical
value
in
having
been
serving
for
a
little
bit
longer
when
it
comes
to
that
role.
B
So
I
I
have
been
honestly
losing
sleep
over
this
Nicole
is
a
friend
and
a
political,
Ally
and
I
would
love
to
vote
for
her
and
I
hope
to
see
her
in
this
role
in
the
future
or
another
leadership
role,
but
I
think
because
of
how
our
local
system
has
been
well
served
by
the
rotation
kind
of
approach
that
we've
taken,
I
will
be
voting
for
Mark
tonight
and
I
am
confident
that
he
will
do
a
good
job
as
as
would
have
Nicole
if
she
had.
B
If
she,
if
she
serves
right
so
so
anyway,
there
you
are
thanks
for
listening
to
me
and
again
appreciate
both
of
you
for
stepping
up
to
serve
your
community.
R
A
G
G
Pro
Temp
should
I
be
voted
in
next
year
across
my
fingers
and
but
if,
let's
say
we're
on
different
sides,
but
we're
really
not
right,
because
we
all
work
together
and
we
try
to
solve
problems,
then
I
would
love
my
opportunity
as
possibly
the
one
that
is
most
whatever
box.
You
want
to
put
me
in
I
still
hope
that
I
get
a
chance
to
be
mayor.
Pro
tem,
try
it
out
and
see
if
I
can
actually
say
the
word
so
moved
in
a
correct
manner.
G
So
that's
why
I
think
this
is
a
great
system
and
I'm
going
to
vote
for
Mark
because
I
know
it's
not.
Maybe
some
people
didn't
like
that,
but
it's
kind
of
his
turn
and
I
look
forward
to
Nicole
in
when
we
get
our
chances.
The
Freshman
of
the
city
council
it'll
be
her
turn
too
and
I'll
look
forward
to
that
as
well.
Tonight,
I'm
going
to
vote
for
Mark.
D
Thanks
Aaron,
undoubtedly
this
is
a
difficult
decision.
D
I,
don't
think
any
of
us
take
pleasure
in
having
to
decide
among
colleagues
and
Friends
and
and
certainly
I,
take
no
pleasure
in
it,
but
it
certainly
has
to
be
done.
D
You
really
need
to
serve
this
community
in
whatever
capacity
you
choose
to
and
are
fortunate
enough
for
your
colleagues
to
want
to
support
Nicole
I've
thoroughly
enjoyed
getting
to
know
you
in
such
an
interesting
capacity
of
maybe
we're
competing
because
we're
running
for
a
seat
to
get
endorsed
to
hey
we're
on
the
same
team.
To
we
have
to
solve
problems,
we
have
to
figure
out
ways
to
reach
Community,
go
knock
on
doors,
talk
to
people
and
I've
thoroughly
enjoyed
that
and
I've
thoroughly
enjoyed.
D
D
The
reason
I
will
be
supporting
mark,
because
I
think
everybody
is
is
on
equal
footing
and
deserving.
This
is
one
thing
that
stood
out
in
the
campaign
last
year.
It's
something
that
I,
don't
think
anyone
else
here
has
had
to
do.
D
He
stood
true
to
that
and
succeeded
not
only
in
getting
elected
but
winning
the
highest
number
of
votes,
and
also
we
succeeded
as
this
community,
because
CU
South
exists
today
as
an
annexation
agreement
that
we
get
to
hold
to
protect
2300
people's
lives.
The
courage
to
do
that
to
me
is
is
is
second
to
none,
and
until
any
of
us
is
faced
with
the
Opera,
the
the
sad
reality
of
having
to
face
your
constituents
and
tell
them
they're
wrong.
D
I
know
the
better
path.
I
think
that
speaks
volumes
for
for
for
your
courage
and
your
ability
to
sort
of
siphon
through
the
hard
decisions
that
we
have
to
make
so
I
appreciate
that
and
Nicole
I
I
appreciate
seeing
you
in
great
leadership
going
forward
as
we
serve
in
Cadence
for
for
many
years,
and
certainly
many
terms
to
come
is
my
hope.
So
that's
why
I'll
be
supporting
mark.
I
I
hate
to
not
say
my
two
cents,
since
everyone
else
has
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
Mark
and
Nicole
for
running
and
to
all
the
community
members,
especially
those
viewers
still
sitting
here
for
coming
out
tonight.
I
I
I
I
understand
this
tradition,
which
I
like
many
people
who
spoke
tonight,
I'm,
not
a
huge
fan
of
tradition
for
tradition's
sake,
but
the
tradition
of
just
rotating
this
position
on
a
kind
of
non-partisan
non-political
basis
stemmed
from
the
majority
party,
shutting
out
the
minority
political
voice,
to
the
extent
that
it
was
sort
of
rocking
the
pro-tem
election
and
causing
a
lot
of
council
Discord,
so
I'm,
actually
a
fan
of
of
that
inclusivity
of
this
position
being
one
where
a
minority
voice
can
be
heard
and
I
remember
when
Aaron
was
Pro,
tem
and
I
was
a
Community
member.
I
He
was
someone,
I
could
call
and
say
this
thing's
coming
to
CAC,
and
it's
really
important
to
me
that
it
it
not
get.
You
know
scooted
down
the
line
and-
and
it
does
feel
good
as
a
community
member
when
your
minority
voice
is
represented
at
that
table.
I
That
said
politically,
because
our
our
party
progressives
is
in
in
the
majority
and
Aaron's
mayor
nothing's
going
to
happen
at
CAC,
that's
going
to
block
or
stall
Progressive
agenda
items,
so
it
is
inclusive
to
have
both
sides
present
in
my
opinion,
and
that's
a
tradition
that
is
valuable
and
and
I
think
we
all
can
probably
support
the
notion
that
it's
good
for
everyone
in
the
community
to
feel
represented,
especially
when,
with
Mark
as
the
number
one
vote
getter,
he
does
represent
a
lot
of
people,
so
I
will
be
supporting
him
on
on
principles
of
inclusivity.
I
B
B
B
B
AG
AG
The
first
thing
is
about
the
mayor:
Pro
tem
selection
process,
like
councilmember,
full
courts,
I,
didn't
know
until
recently
that
the
mayor,
Pro
tem,
has
been
based
on
tenure
in
the
past
few
councils.
That
was
confusing
to
learn
at
the
last
minute.
So
if
tenure
is
the
primary
Criterion
for
mayor
Pro
tem,
then
we
ought
to
make
it
a
formal
rule.
AG
So
future
council
members
and
the
broader
Community
understand
how
we
are
doing
this
election,
but
we
really
may
want
to
consider
more
broadly
how
we
can
clarify
and
improve
the
selection
process,
especially
with
an
equity
lens.
Having
tenure
be
the
primary
Criterion
for
a
leadership
role
in
any
organization
has
Equity
implications,
and,
given
that
one
of
our
City's
core
values
is
being
a
welcoming,
inclusive,
even
diverse
Community
I
think
it's
really
worth
considering
how
to
revisit
and
formalize
our
mayor,
Pro
tem
selection
process.
AG
This
isn't
super
urgent
work,
but
next
year
we'll
be
in
a
situation
where
at
least
three-
and
maybe
four
of
us
will
have
the
same
tenure.
So
it's
probably
something
for
us
to
think
about
sooner
than
later,
because
the
math
doesn't
add
up
and
unless
we're
serving
multiple
terms,
not
all
of
us
will
have
a
chance.
AG
So
that's
kind
of
the
process-
stuff
I,
also
just
wanted
to
bring
up
some
personal
observations
that
for
me
kind
of
highlighted
a
gap
in
our
inclusion,
not
because
of
the
outcome
of
this
decision.
I
really
want
to
be
very
clear
about
that,
but
just
because
of
some
of
the
comments
that
I
heard
from
some
of
you,
while
I
was
talking
with
you
about
my
mayor,
pro-time
candidacy.
AG
First
of
all,
I
am
one
queer
person
in
a
very
diverse
and
very
large
community.
So
when
I
bring
up
my
queer
identity,
it's
because
the
experiences
that
I
have
as
a
queer
woman
are
shaping
my
perspective
on
issues
that
we're
considering
it's
not
because
the
lgbtq
community
made
me
their
spokesperson.
So
I
just
want
to
give
everyone
the
freedom
to
disagree
with
me
without
feeling,
like
you're,
disagreeing
with
the
whole
lgbtq
community.
AG
Second,
I
want
to
share
with
you
that
when
I
hear
you
say
that
I
shouldn't
mention
my
identity
when
we're
making
decisions,
it
makes
me
feel,
like
I,
can't
show
up
as
my
whole
self
that
I
have
to
hide
who
I
am
and
as
a
bisexual,
queer
woman
I
have
always
had
to
validate
my
identity.
It's
a
privilege
that
being
married
to
a
heterosexual,
cisgender
man
lets
me
hide
my
identity
if
I
choose
to,
but
it's
also
a
burden
in
that
I
have
to
constantly
tell
people
I'm,
not
the
straight
cisgender
woman.
AG
They
think
I
am
so
I
hope.
As
we
move
forward.
We
can
encourage
people
to
talk
about
their
unique
perspectives
and
identities
so
that
everyone
is
welcome
to
show
up
as
they
are
and
if
we're
feeling
frustrated
with
how
often
we're
talking
about
equity
and
inclusion,
let's
lean
into
our
empathy
and
recognize
that,
while
hearing
about
people's
struggles
to
be
treated
equitably
is
hard,
it's
harder
to
live
those
struggles
every
day.
AG
Finally,
I
shared
with
you
all
over
the
summer.
My
perspective
that
conflict
is
important
and
necessary
in
group
decision
making
and
that
it
can
increase
Unity
when
it's
done
in
a
healthy
and
straightforward
way.
It's
always
more
comfortable
to
agree,
but
when
we're
free
to
show
up
as
our
whole
selves
and
talk
about
our
different
perspectives
and
healthy
and
straightforward
ways,
we
will
be
more
efficient
and
better
able
to
help
solve
the
issues
our
community
is
struggling
with
and
we
can
model
how
to
work
together.
Despite
having
different
perspectives.
AG
I
know
we
don't
usually
talk
directly
about
each
other
on
the
dice,
but
I
wanted
to
tip
my
hat
to
mark
I.
So
appreciated
our
conversation
about
both
of
us
seeking
the
mayor,
Pro
tem
position.
It
took
maybe
three
minutes
for
us
to
check
in
on
how
we
were
feeling
make
sure
we
would
both
be
okay
with
whatever
happened
and
agree
to
tell
each
other
if
our
working
relationship
fell
off
at
any
point
Mark,
you
were
honest
that
you'd
have
preferred
an
election
by
affirmation,
but
you
basically
said
I'll
be
fine,
you
do
you.
AG
It
was
a
great
example
not
just
of
New
York
City
practicality,
but
of
the
type
of
honest,
efficient
and
inclusive
disagreement
that
I'm
talking
about.
So
thank
you
all
for
hearing
me
out.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration.
Thank
you
again
to
everyone
who
came
and
stayed
up
late
with
us,
really
appreciate
your
voice
and
thank
you
all
for
working
with
me
to
become
a
more
welcoming,
inclusive
and
diverse
community.
N
B
I'll
I'll
just
say
personally
and
from
from
the
seat
that
I'm
sitting
in
that
I
do
value
your
queer
identity
and
when
you
bring
It,
Forward
I
really
do
find.
Value
in
that
I
appreciate
that
about
you
and
I
and
I'll
just
say
broadly.
That
I
hope
that
all
of
us
feel
free
to
to
bring
our
entire
selves
to
the
diocese
into
all
of
our
conversations,
because
we
we
all
benefit
when
we
hear
from
everybody
and
everything
all
aspects
of
their
identity.
D
Quick
for
anybody
still
out
there
listening,
the
winds
are
far
exceeding
the
windwarding
gusts
to
90,
already
at
ncar,
so
be
safe.
If
you're
out
there
and
batting
down
the
hatches,
it's
it's
getting
pretty
nasty
and
will
continue
to
be
so
probably
till
early
tomorrow
morning,
so
be
safe.
