I
want
to
first
say
this
is
incredibly
important
for
our
community
and
for
communities
across
the
country,
and
so
it's
just
great
pleasure
to
be
able
to

americans
and
is
so
named
after
the
events
that
took
place
on
june
19th
1865
in
galveston
texas.
G
On

were
ranged
from
shock

did
not

1st,
1863
and
months
after
the
conclusion
of
the
civil
war.
Even
after

had
spread.
Some

chose
to
withhold

as
slaves
through
one
more
harvest
season.

So
I'm

dr
taylor.
The
recipient
accepts
the
award
in
the
way
he
chooses.
I
Absolutely
and
thank
you
so
much
miss
woodley
and
thank
you
to
the
council
of
the
city
of
boulder
and
as
the
proclamation
stated
june,
10th
is
about
resilience
but
more
important.
It's
about
celebration
and
it's
about
doing
what's
right,
and
so,
as
we
go
into
to
continue
to
this
year,
2022
as
we're
faced
with
many
things
on
our
agendas
on
our
personal
and
professional
lives.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
to
think
about
that
resilience
and
so,
when
we
all
face
hardship
in
our
many
different
ways.
I
We
want
to
think
about
this
particular
moment,
and
this
is
american
history.
Black
history
is
american
history
and
we
want
to
remember
and
pay
respect
and
have
deference
to
what
was
the
history
of
this
nation,
as
we
think
about
leading
and
as
you
all
as
members
of
a
city
government
really
thinking
about
doing.
I
What's
right-
and
I
think
that's
really
important,
as
you
all
are
facing
the
the
trials
and
the
dilemmas
of
being
leaders
in
this
in
this
boulder
community
always
think
about
and
just
think
about
to
yourselves
doing
something
for
a
very
long
time
and
then
actually
being
free
and
then
not
hearing
about
until
two
years
later
think
about
one
that
you
believe
that
probably
took
place,
but
then
think
about
the
courage
that
happened
after
that,
and
so
I
implore
all
of
you,
as
you
are
leading
in
boulder,
to
continue
to
have
the
courage
to
do
what's
right
and
with
that
I
want
to
say
thank
you.
I
We
invite
each
and
every
one
of
you
to
attend
any
of
our
events.
Of
course,
we
have
the
wonderful
flag,
raising
ceremony
that
boulder
being
not
only
one
of
the
first
last
year
that
did
a
flag
raising
ceremony,
but
also
it's
joining
in
this
year.
So
we
really
appreciate
the
city
of
boulder
and
support
and
councilwoman
joseph.
We
always
appreciate
your
support
as
well,
and
so
with
that
I

many
more

B
Okay,
thanks
very
much
for
that
ryan,
all
right,
so,
let's
get
going
each
speaker
will
have
two
minutes
to
speak
and
our
first
three
speakers
and
apologies.
If
I
get
your
name
wrong,
are
ramsey
abueta,
donovan,
smith
and
gabriel
edmondson.
N
N
Over
the
past
few
months,
we've
organized
numerous
members
of
our
community
to
speak
up
on
their
personal
stories
on
how
psychedelic
medicines
have
helped
or
affected
them,
and
it's
about
time
for
city
council
to
recognize
the
power
of
these
stories.
We've
had
two
neuroscientists,
a
few
therapists,
a
healthcare
worker,
the
founder
of
a
scientific
research
nonprofit
and
so
many
more
upstanding
members
of
our
community
planning
on
speaking
up
today
and
in
the
future,
we
have
a
video
testimonial
from
a
pediatrician
that
I
will
privately
email
to
city
council.
N
It's
clear
as
day
that
these
medicines
are
helping
so
many
people
and
that
their
continued
criminalization
stands
contrary
to
anything
that
is
sensible
and
just.
That
is
why
I
ask
city
council
to
review
draft
language
for
a
resolution
that
will
decriminalize
these
substances
by
making
them
the
lowest
law
enforcement
priority,
which
is
the
same
model
as
applied
by
oakland
and
santa
cruz.
California,
ann
arbor,
michigan.
N
You
can
read
the
report
online
and
you
know
what
I'll
just
email
the
report
to
all
of
you
it's
about
time
that
boulder
follows
suit
and
progresses
towards
this
positive
change.
Boulder
is
already
a
cultural
and
research
hub
for
psychedelics,
with
a
flourishing
legacy
community
that
has
shown
itself
to
be
a
responsible
steward
for
keeping
safe
containers
for
the
responsible
use
of
these
medicines.
Let
that
boulder
live
up
to
its
legacy
by
having
city
council
vote
on
a
resolution
to
decriminalize
psychedelics,
I
will
email
all
of
you
draft
language
that
you
can
give
feedback
on.
O
Hey
folks,
my
name
is
donovan
smith
I'll,
be
sharing
why
psychedelics
should
be
decriminalized
here
in
boulder,
I'm
going
to
be
really
vulnerable
and
get
pretty
personal
with
you
about
some
heavy
topics,
but
I
promise
it's
relevant
to
jump
right
in.
I
grew
up
in
a
house
where
my
queerness
and
being
gay
wasn't
celebrated
but
shamed
because
of
religion.
I
hid
and
I
hated
who
I
was.
I
was
so
confused.
O
I
internalized
the
shame
and
by
my
young
adulthood
my
story
was
filled
with
depression,
self-harm,
suicide,
attempts,
anxiety,
substance,
abuse
and,
ultimately,
a
methamphetamine
addiction.
When
I
came
out
and
left
the
church
at
21
years
old,
my
entire
worldview
was
shattered
without
religion.
What
does
life
mean?
Why
am
I
here?
I
was
thrown
into
the
wild
to
fend
for
myself.
I
turned
to
existential
philosophy,
cosmology
eastern
religions
and
sociology
for
answers,
but
I
only
found
more
questions
I
was
lost.
It
was
actually
my
first
lsd
experience
almost
five
years
ago.
O
That
started
me
on
the
journey
of
learning
to
be
okay
with
the
existentialism
and
reframing
it
as
a
curiosity
for
life,
the
unknown
and
connection.
It
changed
my
life
since
then.
It
has
taken
years
of
painful
lessons
therapy
and
the
best
support
system
a
human
could
ask
for
in
order
to
heal,
but
integral
to
that
healing
has
been
micro,
dosing,
psilocybin
mushrooms.
They
have
helped
me
to
recover
from
addiction
and
stay
clean
from
something
that
wants
to
kill
me,
create
more
space
between
negative
thinking.
O
What
is
actually
true
about
who
I
am
and
my
place
in
the
universe,
settle
into
my
most
authentic
self,
heal
from
trauma
and
think
freely
without
the
crushing
weight
of
depression.
I
can't
help
but
smile
when
I
think
about
all
of
this.
My
story
has
molded
me
into
a
mental
health
advocate.
I
work
in
community
mental
health
here
in
boulder
human
rights
activist
and
a
loud
voice
in
the
lgbtq
community.
I
am
so
grateful
for
how
far
I've
come
and
who
I
am
today.
Psychedelics
have
played
an
invaluable
and
vital
part
in
my
story.
O
D
Hi
everybody,
my
name
is
gabriel,
I'm
a
physical
therapist
in
colorado.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
speak.
My
goal
here,
like
those
before
me,
is
to
speak
in
favor
of
decriminalizing
psychedelics
and
boulder
by
sharing
my
personal
experience
with
psychedelics,
which
began
as
a
recreational
experience
in
college
with
fun
in
mind,
but
the
incredible
insight
I
unexpectedly
gained
through
that
experience
solidified
my
decision
to
become
a
physical
therapist.
So
that's
what
I
did
after
several
years
in
practice.
D
So
I
decided
to
do
a
bit
more
work
on
looking
at
that
source
and
the
treatments
became
much
more
meaningful,
often
created
more
sustainable
changes,
but
something
was
still
missing
because
I
needed
to
deal
with
the
patient's
mental
states.
The
fears
about
how
the
injuries
would
slow
their
lives
down
how
the
scary
reports
from
the
mri
would
lead
to
irreversible
changes
or
future
surgeries,
how
they
would
certainly
get
out
of
shape
and
be
incapable
of
taking
care
of
their
kids
or
grandkids.
D
So
I
immediately
introduced
the
mindfulness-based
stress.
Reduction
program
began
referring
to
psychologists
and
other
mental
health
professionals
when
people
were
open,
even
better
results
emerged
as
a
result
of
that,
but
it
was
until
a
patient
discreetly
mentioned
that
she
had
used
psilocybin
and,
as
a
result,
transformed
the
way
she
saw
herself
and
her
injury
that
I
realized
this
was
a
missing
piece
of
the
puzzle.
D
I
have
admittedly
explored
these
substances
personally
many
times
since
then,
always
with
the
goal
of
helping
me
gain
further
insight
into
myself
to
understand
how
they
can
be
integrated
into
an
efficient
and
effective
treatment
model
if
ever
made
available,
and
undoubtedly
the
conclusion
is
that
they
can
so
with
the
research
quite
compelling
the
safety
apparent
and
the
need
more
urgent
than
ever.
I
would
urge
the
city
to
consider
being
on
the
forefront
of
this
change
and
work.
P
I
was
raised
by
emotionally
unavailable
parents
and
felt
disconnected
from
life
to
the
point
that
I
did
not
desire
to
exist
on
this
planet
five
years
ago
marked
the
explosive
ending
of
a
codependent
and
unhealthy
relationship.
I
was
in
with
a
woman
I
relied
upon
to
give
my
life
value
and
purpose
the
following
five
days
after
that
were
the
most
disconnected
I
felt
and
I
entertained
thoughts
of
ending
my
life.
P
Instead
of
ending
my
life,
I
decided
to
eat
five
grams
of
mushrooms
containing
psilocybin
by
myself
in
my
apartment
over
the
course
of
the
next
eight
hours
I
processed
and
released
trauma
and
discovered
my
connection
to
life.
I
visited
my
childhood
experiences
and
remembered
how
wonderful
I
felt
when
I
caused
a
person
to
smile.
P
My
experience
with
mushrooms
that
night
resulted
in
my
invention
of
kindness
cards
and
the
formation
of
the
non-profit
connection
through
compassion.
One
year
later,
to
date,
we've
given
away
over
50
000
handwritten
kindness
cards
and
I
actually
wrote
a
kindness
card
into
tonight
to
show
all
of
you
but
realize
that
we
we're
not
permitted
to
have
video.
P
So
it
just
says
thank
you
for
being
here,
and
I
really
mean
that
I'm
very
glad
that
we're
all
here
on
this
planet
psychedelics
have
really
supported
me
in
knowing
how
valuable
I
am
and
how
I
desire
to
live
my
life.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
Oh
and
I'll
just
mention
scott.
If
you're
listening,
you
can
certainly
email
us
the
the
thing
that
you
mentioned
if
you'd
like
to
share
that
with
us
thanks.
Q
Okay,
my
name
is
patrick
murphy.
I've
lived
in
boulder
52
years,
the
planet
burns
floods
and
dies
while
boulder
fiddles
with
climate
change.
I
know
you've
heard
me
say
that
many
times
I
say
it
repeatedly,
because
it's
true
and
it's
based
on
the
observation
of
past
performance,
which
is
often
the
best
indicator
of
future
performance.
Q
In
addition,
current
observation
of
the
boulder
excel
advisory
panel
meetings
demonstrates
that
it's
just
a
checkbox
and
a
propaganda
process
where
approaches
are
described,
selected
and
rejected,
based
on
what
the
leadership
wants
and
the
17
citizen
members
are
often
rich
people
who
have
gone
carbon
free,
using
lots
of
money,
sales,
people
with
their
own
agenda
or
non-experts,
who
supported
the
muni
and
have
no
real
capacity
to
critically
review
what
they're
being
fed
the
few
independent
thinkers
on
the
panel
have
little
weight.
It's
a
conformational
bias
bubble
slide.
Q
Two
there's
no
room
for
direct
confrontation
and
resolution
of
simple
warped
concepts
such
as
the
authentically
additive
force
and
the
in-state
limitation.
That
clearly
demonstrates
ignorance
of
what
climate
change
is.
An
isolated
bubble
is
clear,
since
the
multiple
communications
I've
sent
to
the
panel
have
not
received
a
response
from
any
of
the
17
members.
I
have
lots
to
learn,
but
I've
learned
how
boulder
a
town
I
dearly
love
has
managed
to
fail
on
climate
change.
It's
a
combination
of
exceptionalism,
combined
with
arrogance.
Q
Years
ago
in
person
I
asked
the
former
mayor
suzanne
jones,
what
was
plan
b
if
the
muni
failed,
she
stated
confidently
that
boulder
had
a
plan
b,
c
and
d
that
was
false
unless
plan
b,
c
and
d
were
to
succeed
at
plan
a
so.
I
ask
you
what?
If
plan
b,
fails
and
boulder
rejects,
giving
more
money
to
the
same
folks
who
led
a
failed
muni?
R
Hello
hi
everybody
am,
I
heard
yes,
okay,
all
right
hi,
my
name
is
harleen
singh
and
I
worked
at
a
private
medical
office
for
a
few
years
and
I'll
be
graduating
with
my
bachelor's
in
ayurvedic
medicine
in
a
week
and
I'm
speaking
in
favor
for
decriminalization
of
psychedelics
in
boulder,
I
recently
had
a
experience
with
my
mom
and
sister.
R
Actually
we
did
some
psychedelics
with
a
third
party
therapist
and
we
uncovered
a
lifetime
of
subconscious
patterning
that
we
have
towards
each
other
within
one
night
because
of
like
how
malleable
your
experience
is
when
you're
on
psychedelics
and
like
I've
seen
my
my
own
sister
like
treat
me
like
she
hasn't
treated
me
since
she
was
like
a
little
kid.
You
know
just
like
googly-eyed
and
happy
and
there's
no
wall
between
us
and
I
was
a
little
worried.
It
would
be
gone
the
next
day,
but
it
was
the
same.
R
The
next
day
it's
been
the
same.
It's
been
two
weeks
now
and
it's
the
same
now
it
was
almost
like
a
switch
flipped
for
her,
so
I've
never
felt
closer
to
her
or
myself
or
my
mother,
and
you
know
you
hear
about
these
therapies,
but
it
was
really
cool
to
really
experience
it
firsthand
and
really
powerful,
and
something
that
I
just
completely
did
not
expect
to
happen
happened
so
yeah,
that's
pretty
much
it
so
yeah.
Thank
you
for
listening.

U
Evan
rabbits
42-year
resident.
Let's
talk
about
boulder
exceptionalism
philosophy.
Professor
matthew
harris
threatens
mass
murder
at
cu,
god,
king
chug
him
trump
and
his
son
are
revealed
as
abusive
sex
cultists,
while
real
buddhist
win
bruce
burns
himself
to
death
to
protest
climate
arsonists,
like
our
drill,
maybe

governor
cu,
hires
trump
insurrection
attorney
john
eastman
and
fire
scientist
that
liv
helmig
for
studying
oil
and
gas
emissions.
U
Cu
invests
student
money
in
oil
and
gas
sealing
their
climate
fate,
yet
city
government
caters
to
governor
polis,
cu,
shambhala
excel
all
the
800
pound
gorillas
boulder,
where
the
roads
are
crumbling.
Swimming
pools
are
half
closed
and
half
the
city
department
heads
have
left
since
2019,
but
there's
always
millions
to
persecute
the
homeless
and
prevent
people
from
using
direct
democracy
to
solve
our
own
problems
and
problems
caused
by
directly
by
government.
U
Yet
the
new
administration
told
boulder
county
democrats,
a
pack
of
lies
when
asked
why
the
city
wouldn't
give
adequate
notice
that
the
online
petition
system
has
been
fixed.
People
aren't
using
it
because
they
refuse
to
tell
people
it's
fixed
and
waited
months.
I'll
document
the
lies
next
time
as
if
you
can.
B
Thank
you
evan,
so
celeste.
Unfortunately,
we
have
not
received
any
slides
from
you
that
we
can
find
apologies,
for
that.
Would
you
mind
just
doing
an
audio
testimony
and
then,
following
up
with
the
slides
through
email.
T
Good
evening,
council
members,
in
my
brief
two
minutes,
I'd
like
to
say
three
things
about
elections.
T
The
first
point
is
about
using
accurate
vocabulary
when
discussing
voter
turnout,
the
decline
in
turnout
between
two
different
types
of
elections
is
actually
called
drop
off.
For
instance,
we
see
it.
We
notice
a
decline
in
turnout
or
drop
off
between
presidential
elections
and
midterm
elections,
both
of
which
are
held
in
even
years.
We
also
noticed
drop-off
between
even-year
elections
and
odd
year.
Elections.
T
T
V
V
V
V
There
have
been
broken
windows
at
both
multiple
locations,
including
our
municipal
building,
and
there
have
been
other
incidents
of
people,
swinging,
hammers
and
axes
and
threatening
bystanders
and
twice
older.
Fire
was
called
twice
on,
may
23rd
to
two
guys
who
had
a
fire
going
by
their
tent
at
boulder
junction.
V
W
W
W
I
would
submit
that
as
part
of
opening
pearl
street
west
pearl
street
between
9th
and
11th
to
traffic
it
the
the
less
parking
spaces
there
are,
the
less
accessibility
will
be
and
the
limited
accessibility
is
really
causing
the
problems
that
have
caused
the
restaurant
owners
to
overwhelmingly
ask
the
city
to
reopen
pearl
street.
Thank
you.
X
Stop
me
if
you
can't
hear
everything
clearly,
alpine
balsam
where's,
the
timer
there
we
go
alpine
balsam,
do
not
take
it
down,
repurpose
it,
the
old
hospital
whittier.
When
are
we
gonna,
get
news
on
what
was
the
cause
of
that?
You
know,
I'm
riding
my
bike
there
every
day
I
have
to
ride
along
the
traffic
in
the
dark,
with
no
light
on
my
bike,
and
you
know
it.
Why
not?
Why
don't
you
just
open
up
the
walkway
there
there's
no
distraction.
X
The
thing
is
not
going
to
fall
down
and
cause
liability
like
just
open
the
sidewalk
there
so
that
I
can
freaking
ride
my
bike
regarding
li
tech
and
oz.
These
are
schemes
that
will
get
us
to
have
more
affordable
housing,
okay
based
on
much
much
more
unaffordable
housing.
So
it
doesn't
help
us
out
be
careful
what
you
wish
for.
X
I'm
opposed
to
you,
consent
consent
agenda
on
the
sewer
on
f
until
you
appropriate
how
much
growth
we're
going
to
have
here
to
do
all
the
sewer
do
all
this
water.
You
know
to
over
and
burden
our
our
culture
with
too
many
people
by
excessive
growth
and
excel
energy
20
25.
We
need
to
get
out
of
it.
You
know
I
went
through
living
hell
about
this
tree
that
fell
on
my
electric
line
and
excel
will
not
tell
me
if
I'm
responsible
or
if
they're
responsible,
they
won't.
Even
let
me
know
so.
Y
The
update
on
the
safe
and
welcoming
spaces
program
has
notable
lacks
specifically.
Next
steps
includes
zero
additional
actions
to
counter
the
campers
illegally
occupying
and
fouling
public
spaces,
such
compassion
for
our
transient
population.
In
this
document,
but
little
for
protecting
citizens
from
the
public
safety
threat
they
represent.
Y
No
one
is
suggesting
a
mean
approach
to
clearing
encampments,
but
many
would
like
to
feel
safe
in
parks,
public
spaces,
bike
paths
and
trails.
Boulder
alone
cannot
deal
with
the
constant
influx
of
transients.
There's
a
huge
number
of
agencies
addressing
this
but
zero
mention
of
inpatient
drug
treatment
and
mental
health
care.
The
aclu
didn't
sue
neighboring
towns
for
their
zero
services.
Y
Instead,
they
chose
the
easy
target
boulder
with
lots
of
services
when
they
drop
the
lawsuit.
In
exchange
for
what
the
majority
on
council
wants,
designated
campgrounds
overnight
parking
day,
shelters
the
towns
with
no
services
will
continue
to
send
their
homeless
here
to
boulder.
We
lack
an
effect,
an
effective
approach
to
solving
this
health
safety
and
criminal
issue.
I'd
like
council
to
take
direct
action.
Denial
is
not
a
strategy.
M
That
is,
why
did
we
hear
from
holly
carter.
Z
Yes,
that's
me
good
evening,
council
needing
to
have
oversight
on
affordable
housing
in
boulder
needs
to
be
looked
at
and
needs
to
be
done
immediately.
Living
in
one
of
boulder's,
first
and
smallest
income
restricted
complexes
that
was
built
in
late
2015
known
as
depot
square.
We
are
currently
under
a
violation
both
structurally
and
fire
code.
We
have
not
had
regular
maintenance
done
in
over
two
and
a
half
years.
Why
is
this?
We
are
ran
by
a
multi-million
dollar
property
management
company
called
avenatt
capital
management.
Z
We
are
constantly
having
to
do
the
legwork
for
our
property
manager.
In
order
to
get
anybody
to
listen
to
us,
it
has
been
the
residents
who
have
done
the
legwork
in
order
to
get
certain
sectors
within
boulder
to
get
out
here
and
to
look
at
our
issues.
Still,
we
are
still
waiting
to
get
actual
work
done.
Residents
have
not
had
any
work
done
to
their
units,
repairs
or
whatnot
in
over
two
years,
75
of
our
building
may
be
occupied.
At
this
moment
we
are,
we
are
losing
more
than
not.
Z
We
are
currently
lacking
power
in
our
parking
garage
for
going
on
a
week
which
poses
many
safety
issues
as
well
as
we
have
an
issue
with
crime
and
car
theft
within
our
parking
garage
which
is
attached
to
us.
Yet
we
are
the
only
affordable
housing
complex
within
boulder
that
pays
75
per
vehicle
to
park
our
vehicle
in
there,
as
well
as
we
do
not
have
the
first
15
minutes
free
in
this
parking
garage
and
every
other
parking
garage
owned
by
the
city
of
boulder.
Z
Does
I
wish
you
guys
would
take
this
issue
a
little
more
seriously,
especially
if
you're
pushing
affordable
housing,
because,
as
I
see
it
as
an
actual
resident,
you
have
a
major
crime
issue
and
a
major
issue
with
the
property
management
companies
that
are
running
them,
as
they
are
running
them
into
the
ground.
They
are
not
taking
care
of
them.
They
are
ignoring
the
actual
issues
at
hand
and
you're
going
to
have
bigger
issues
than
smaller
ones.
When
push
comes
to
shove.
Sooner
than
later,
I
thank
you
for
your
time
and
have
a
good
evening.
B
Thank
you
for
that
holly,
and
I
appreciate
that.
Okay,
that
brings
open
comment
to
an
end.
Do
we
have
any
staff
responses.
K
Mayor,
if
I
can
I'll
say
that,
because
it
also
came
up
at
cac,
that
staff
is
looking
to
bring
up
a
study
session
on
our
safe
and
managed
public
spaces
work.
So
please
note
that
we'll
be
bringing
that
at
the
next
cac
as
we're
scheduling
that
and
then
perhaps
a
bit,
because
I'm
feeling
a
little
vulnerable
tonight
myself.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
those
callers
that
shared
their
stories.
K
Those
personal
reflections
are
touching
and
are
heartfelt,
and
I
just
want
to
say
it's
so
courageous
when
you,
when
you
share
your
stories
in
that
way,
and
one
to
say,
I
appreciated
it.
AA
B
AB
Yeah
I
had
just
a
question
about
the
last
speaker
holly,
who
sounded
like
she
was
describing
possibly
some
code
violations
in
affordable
housing
units
and
just
wondered
if
staff
could
follow
up
with
her.
I
believe
she
has
emailed
council
members
in
the
past
and
offered
to
give
us
tours
to
sort
of
see
the
area
which
I'm
hoping
to
go
do,
but
I
just
wondered
if,
if
maybe
there
are
code
violations,
if,
if
a
staff
member
could
follow
up.
K
AC
Sure,
good
evening,
council,
chris
jones
interim
director
of
community
vitality,
we
can
certainly
follow
up
with
our
partners
at
avinath
investments.
They
share
ownership
of
the
garage
at
depot
square
with
the
city,
and
so
we
do
have
a
relationship
with
them.
I
would
defer
to
planning
and
development
services
regarding
any
code
violations
that
might
need
to
be
inspected
in
the
building,
but
we
can
certainly
follow
up
regarding
any
challenges
that
are
existing
in
the
shared
ownership.
Parking
garage.
AB
Thanks
for
that
and
again,
I'm
sure
we
have
her
email
from
sign
up,
but
if
not
she's
emailed
counsel,
so
I
can
get
that
for
any
staff
that
needs
it.
Thanks.
K
We
do
have
a
council
form,
but
happily
I
can
take
mayor
pro
tem's
offer
up
and
if
you
send
it
to
me
directly,
I'm
happy
to
make
sure
that
we
follow
up.
AD
AC
I
will
again
I'll
I
will
follow
up
with
our
property
manager
that
we
collectively
work
with
to
manage
a
number
of
issues
at
the
depot
square
garage
specifically,
this
has
been
an
ongoing
topic
related
to
some
some
behaviors
that
we're
experiencing
at
that
location
in
particular,
which
has
been
quite
challenging
for
some
time,
but
we'll
certainly
follow
up
and
can
provide
some
written
report.
Once
I
hear
back
from
the
property
managers.
B
C
D
J
Actually
had
a
question
on
the
outdoor
dining
program,
I
I
am
assuming
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
that
passage
of
the
outdoor
dining
program
does
not
fully
resolve
the
issue
of
what
we
do
with
the
west
pearl
or
does
it.
AC
Correct
this
is
not
we're
not
attending
to
west
pearl
closure
with
this
process
we're
looking
at
the
city-wide
outdoor
dunning
pilot
program.
First,
once
we
have
tackled
that
particular
element
of
the
west
pearl
closure,
then
we
will
be
we're
planning
to
come
back
to
council
in
september,
a
study
session
on
september,
8th
to
specifically
talk
about
the
downtown
vision
planning
process
and
how
that
relates
to
future
possibilities
for
west
pearl
perfect,
and
I
had.
B
Can
I
mark
you
mind
if
I
just
chris,
I
felt
your
language
sound
a
little
ambiguous
there.
You
just
clarified
the
outdoor
dining
is
not
making
any
statement
for
against
the
closure
of
west
pearl
right.
This
is
a
separate
issue,
correct
right.
Okay,
thanks
for
confirming
that,
I'm
sorry
go
ahead.
Mark.
J
And
I
had
a
question
for
utilities:
we're
going
to
have
a
five
percent
increase
to
fund,
as
I
understood
at
the
the
eight
million
dollar
capital
expenditure,
we're
going
to
have
some
degree
of
increase
for
the
two
bond
issues.
I
assume
obviously
we're
going
to
have
an
increase
to
finance
cu
south
and
my
question
is:
do
we
have
a
full
schedule
or
projection
of
let's
say
in
the
next
five
years?
J
What
kind
of
increases
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
in
total,
because
we
tend
to
look
at
it
project
by
project
and
five
percent
here,
seven
percent
bad
twelve
percent.
There
do
we
have
a
full
breakout
of
what
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
over
the
next
five
years
for
increases
in
our
water
bills?.
AE
Joan
yeah
good
evening,
mayor
members
of
council
mark
thanks
for
that
question
every
year
in
our
budget
process,
we
bring
forward
a
six-year
capital
improvement
program
and
I
don't
have
the
number
off
the
top
of
my
head.
It's,
I
think
it's
30
or
40
projects
that
are
in
there
and
we
collectively
for
each
of
the
three
utilities,
have
a
rate
increase
for
the
for
the
following
year.
That
council
is
acting
on
in
the
budget,
and
then
we
show
three
or
four
years
out
in
advance
for
each
of
the
utilities.
AE
So
we
we
definitely
will
be
bringing
that
information
if
you
would
like
it
packaged
differently
than
we
typically
do.
We'd
be
happy
to
look
at
that.
AE
Sure
and
and
maybe
we
can
follow
up
offline,
but
we
we
do
for
each
utility
present
the
rates
in
aggregate.
AD
AC
We
are
not
we're
neither
at
a
conclusion
or
up
in
the
air
we
do
have.
Four
vendors
who've
responded
to
a
request
for
proposals
that
all
have
some
form
of
modular
type
infrastructure
that
restaurants
can
choose
from
if
they
are
selected
as
our
pre-approved
vendors,
that
does
not
preclude
restaurants
ability
to
pursue
a
revocable
permit
for
something.
AC
That's
not
one
of
our
pre-approved
structures,
but
the
process
for
that
will
take
longer
so
we're
trying
to
make
sure
we
have
an
expedited
process
for
restaurants
that
want
to
get
this
done
quickly.
If
there
are
restaurants
that
have
something
different
in
mind,
there
still
is
our
standard
revocable
permit
review
process.
AC
It
just
is
not
going
to
be
as
as
quick,
and
I
certainly
I
don't
want
to
speak
too
much
for
planning
and
development
services
they're
our
key
partner
in
the
approval
of
these
permits,
and
so
hopefully
I
did
not
misspeak
in
the
work
that
we're
doing
to
try
to
thread
the
needle
on
on
what's
possible
in
this
process.
B
AF
C
R
J
C
AD
Q
C
AB
C
C
B
Very
good-
and
we
have
a
couple
of
proposed
changes
to
our
rules
of
procedures.
Should
we
go
ahead
and
take
care
of
those
now
I'm
seeing
nodding
from
theresa.
So
we
have
a
couple
of
proposed
motions.
One
is
to
suspend
our
council
rules
and
procedures
to
allow
for
video
testimony
from
congressman
the
goose
bob.
AG
Yeah
I'll
make
that
motion
congressman
very
much
wanted
to
speak
to
us
tonight
about
at
the
public
hearing
that
we're
about
to
launch,
but
unfortunately
he
well
it's
his
job.
He's
in
washington
he's
got
some
meetings
tonight,
so
he
was
kind
enough
over
the
weekend
to
tape
a
video
tape
for
us.
AG
I
know
we
normally
don't
take
videotapes
from
community
members,
but
like
the
fact
it's
congressman-
and
I
think
he's
gonna
have
some
very
important
things
to
say:
I'd
like
to
move
that
out
for
councilman
august's
testimony
that
we
suspend
our
rules
that
normally
don't
allow
videos
and
listen
to
and
watch
congressman
video
tonight.
Second.
B
G
B
Okay,
we've
got
one
other
one
somewhat
similar.
We
have
several
of
our
legislative
representatives
that
are
interested
in
speaking
to
us
tonight,
but
we're
only
available
at
the
ap
8
p.m
hour.
So
we're
looking
potentially
for
a
motion
to
set
a
specific
time
of
8
pm
for
our
invited,
elected
local
legislators
to
speak
at
that
time.
AB
Yep,
I
will
make
that
motion
to
invite
our
local
elected
representatives
to
speak
at
8
pm
tonight.
B
Seeing
none,
I
will
go
ahead
and
call
for
a
show
of
hands
in
favor
of
this
one,
all
in
favor,
very
good,
that's
unanimous
and
so
just
procedurally,
then
the
way
this
is
going
to
work
is
that
we're
going
to
do
a
stack
presentation,
we'll
do
council
questions.
B
Then
we
will
go
to
the
public
hearing
and
what
we'll
do
is
we'll
start
with
the
video
testimony
from
congressman
degoose
and
then
we
will
go
to
our
list
of
29
speakers.
Who've
signed
up
until
we
get
to
the
8
pm
point
at
which
point
we'll
pause
the
list
of
public
speakers
and
then
go
to
our
legislators
and
then
resume
the
rest
of
our
signed
up
public
speakers.
B
L
Yes,
thank
you
mayor
members
of
council,
teresa
taylor,
tate
city
attorney,
I'd
like
to
invite
luis
to
to
lead
us
through
a
conversation,
presentation
first
outlining
how
we
got
here,
giving
a
bit
of
historical
context
and
then
in
a
an
overview,
presents
these
six
ordinances
council
has
seen
them
before,
but
we
feel
like
it's
important
for
the
record
and
for
the
public
that
we
walk
through
what
each
of
these
is
going
to
do
tonight.
So
with
that
and
acknowledging
his
excellent
hard
work,
I
will
turn
this
over
to
luis.
AH
Good
evening,
council
members,
I'm
luis
toro
senior
attorney
emily.
Could
you
start
up
the
the
slideshow
thank
you
and,
as
we
stated
in
our
memo,
there's
six
proposed
ordinances
and
they're
designed
to
address
assault,
weapons,
large
capacity,
magazines
trigger
activators
and
ghost
guns,
and
otherwise
regulate
the
purchase
and
sale
of
firearms
in
boulder
in
ways
calculated
to
reduce
threats
to
residents,
public
places
and
the
risk
of
impulsive
suicide
or
crime
posed
by
easy
to
obtain
firearms.
AH
And
to
that
end
we
have
these
six
ordinances
move
to
the
next
slide.
Please
I
want
to
talk
about
the
long
journey
to
today's
hearing.
AH
In
2018
there
was
a
mass
shooting
at
a
high
school
in
parkland
florida
and
in
response
to
that
city
council
passed
ordinances
that
banned
assault,
weapons
and
limited
large
capacity
magazines
to
10
rounds
that
led
to
state
court
litigation
that
went
on
for
a
couple
of
years
and
resulted
in
2021
with
an
order
from
the
boulder
county
district
court,
saying
that
our
ordinances
were
preempted
by
state
law,
which
said
that
municipalities
were
not
allowed
to
have
their
own
gun
regulations.
AH
Now
we
had
a
very
plausible
argument
that
that
violated
the
home
rule
amendment
to
the
colorado
constitution
that
we
had
the
authority
to
do
this,
notwithstanding
what
the
state
legislature
said,
but
the
court
ruled
what
it
ruled
and
the
next
item
on
the
list
I
almost
felt
like
I
could
just
put
the
date
and
everybody
would
know
what
I
was
talking
about.
AH
But
on
march,
22nd
of
2021
boulder
joined
the
long
list
of
cities
that
have
been
victimized
by
a
mass
shooting
incident
when
10
of
our
neighbors
were
killed
at
the
king
supers
on
table
mesa,
the
the
ruling
and
the
shooting
and
other
events
led
to
the
state
legislature
revisiting
the
preemption
statute
and
revising
it
to
basically
authorize
municipalities
to
have
their
own
gun
regulations
as
long
as
they're
stricter
than
state
law
not
looser,
and
that
went
into
effect.
On
june
19
2021.
AH
We
had
asked
the
court
of
appeals
to
declare
that
the
to
vacate
the
ruling
and
from
the
district
court
and
then
say
that
it
was
moved
because
of
the
new
statute
and
the
court
declined
to
do
so.
After
that,
we
voluntarily
dismissed
the
appeal
as
moot
because
of
the
new
statute
and
with
direction
from
council
move
forward.
AH
With
these
ordinances,
we
had
a
steady
session
in
february,
22
2022,
when
the
council
went
through
various
possible
ordinances
and
gave
us
direction
to
proceed
with
the
ones
that
we're
talking
about
today
and
if
we
can
move
to
the
next
slide.
AH
We've
want
to
acknowledge
that
we've
had
assistance
from
non-profit
groups
that
are
very
expert
in
this
area
and
they've
helped
us
to
draft
these
ordinances
they're
every
town
for
gun
safety
and
the
giffords
law
center
to
prevent
gun
violence,
and
I
I
want
to
acknowledge
their
great
help
and
without
which
we
wouldn't
be
here
today
next
flight.
Please,
we
also
have
a
goal.
You
know
you
know.
AH
Ideally,
the
state
would
regulate
a
lot
of
this,
but
but
they've
given
authority
to
cities
to
do
it
so
we're
doing
it
and
we
hope
to
work
with
our
neighboring
jurisdictions
to
have
some
consistency
in
gun
laws
across
jurisdictions
and
we're
working
with
boulder
county,
the
city
of
louisville,
the
city
of
lafayette
and
the
town
of
superior
to
try
to
get
some
consistency
among
our
neighboring
jurisdictions.
AH
So
if
we
can
move
to
the
next
side,
please
now
I'm
going
to
walk
through
the
various
ordinances.
8494
was
the
is
the
first
one
and
the
the
longest
one.
It
in
many
ways
is
similar
to
the
2018
ordinances.
As
far
as
banning
assault
weapons
and
limiting
magazines
to
20.
To
excuse
me
10
rounds
or
fewer,
and
also
banning
rapid
fire
trigger
activators
such
as
bump
stocks,
some
of
which
are
being
regulated
by
the
federal
government.
AH
It
also
adds
a
new
severability
clause,
which
is
really
a
a
legal
protection
in
the
event
that
a
court
were
to
declare
some
portion
of
our
ordinance
to
be
invalid,
where
this
is
expressing
council's
desire
to
preserve
as
much
of
these
ordinances
as
possible
and
as
much
as
of
our
code
relating
to
weapons
as
possible,
if
any
portion
of
it
is
struck
down
by
a
court
and
finally
we're
allowing
people
who
own
assault
weapons
as
of
july
1st
of
this
year,
to
certify
them
with
the
city
and
continue
to
possess
them
as
legacy
assault
weapons
so
long
as
they
possess
a
certificate
issued
by
the
city.
AH
That
shows
that
it's
a
certified
legacy
assault
weapon,
and
I
want
to
be
clear
that
the
city
does
not
maintain
any
record
of
who
has
a
certificate.
It's
it's
just
that
if,
if
there's
a
need
to
show
that
a
person
is
lawfully
in
possession
of
a
legacy,
assault
weapon,
that
the
certificate
will
show
that,
but
the
city
does
not
maintain
any
sort
of
registry
or
record
of
who
has
these
certificates
next
slide?
Please.
AH
Ordinance
85
25
relates
to
possession
of
firearms
and
sensitive
areas,
and
it
prohibits
possession
of
firearms
in
three
general
areas:
city
properties,
public
demonstrations
and
and
polling
locations,
kind
of
the
civic
engagement
wanting
to
protect
civic,
engage
civic
engagement
from
possible
intimidation
by
people
who
are
carrying
firearms,
we're
also
preventing
lit
liquor
and
firearms
from
mixing
the
prohibiting
firearms
in
places
where
liquor
is
consumed.
AH
Ordinance
85
26
is
the
ghost
guns.
Ordinance.
It's
ghost
guns
or
guns.
Assembled
from
kits
are
manufactured
on
3d
printers
that
lack
serial
numbers.
The
the
federal
government
is
beginning
to
take
steps
in
the
in
this
area,
but
in
the
meantime
the
city
will
be
prohibiting
these.
It's
only
a
civil
offense
unless
there's
an
intent
to
sell
or
distribute,
and
then
it
becomes
a
criminal
offense
next
slide.
Please.
AH
8527
is
the
open,
carry
ordinance
and
it
generally
prohibits
or
open
carrying
of
firearms
in
public
places.
There
are
some
exceptions
to
comply
with
state
law
and
there's
also
the
the
ability
to
carry
an
unloaded
firearm
in
an
locked,
opaque
case
and
also
we're
exempting
from
the
open
carry
requirements,
private
security
guards
in
the
course
and
scope
of
their
duties
next
slide,
please
85,
28
and
85
29
both
address
the
risk
of
impulsive
purchases
of
firearms
that
could
lead
to
suicide
or
crime.
AH
A
lot
of
this
information
is
not
commonly
known,
but
that
possessing
a
firearm
actually
makes
you
more
likely
to
be
injured,
but
by
a
firearm
than
than
not
having
one
and
we're
making
the
public
aware
of
that
fact,
85
20
or
excuse
me
8259
is
a
10-day
waiting
period
similar
to
that
that's
in
other
jurisdictions,
before
taking
delivery
of
a
firearm.
10
days
begin
from
the
initiation
of
the
background
check.
So
if
the
background
check
takes
a
couple
of
days
that
counts
as
part
of
the
10.
AH
and
both
of
these
are
designed
to
address
the
problem
of
impulsive
crimes
or
suicides,
then
the
last
slide.
Please-
and
this
is
just
the
to
show
what
the
language
of
the
notice
that's
going
to
be
required
to
be
posted
at
gun
shops
will
say,
then
that's
the
information
that
we're
requiring
to
be
provided.
B
AG
Thanks
for
that,
luis
that
was
very
helpful
and
very
concise.
I
have
a
question
which
I
think
I
know
the
answer
to,
but
I
know
the
number
of
commun
community
members
have
asked
us,
and
so
I
wanted
to
say
it
out
loud
and
hear
the
answer
from
you
or
teresa
yeah,
on
the
list
of
places
where
sensitive
places
where
guns
are
not
allowed
or
only
allowed
with
the
consent
of
the
property
owner.
One
of
the
things
that
was
maybe
noticeably
not
listed
under
ordinance,
85
25,
is
public
schools.
AH
Yes,
the
the
rationale
I
can
address
that
the
rationale
for
not
including
public
schools
is
that
the
boulder
valley,
school
district
is
creating
its
own
set
of
regulations
that
will
apply
district-wide,
and
so
we
didn't
want
to
duplicate
efforts
and
potentially
have
one
set
of
rules
for
schools
within
the
boulder
city
limits
and
one
for
schools
elsewhere
in
the
district,
so
the
the
boulder
valley
school
district.
It's
my
understanding.
It's
going
to
have
its
own
firearm
restrictions.
AG
Thanks,
louise-
and
I
am
I
correct
in
understanding
that,
even
currently
before
they
make
whatever
changes
they're
about
to
make,
the
guns
are
generally
prohibited
on
public
schools
in
public
schools.
AH
J
Just
two
quick
questions:
when
we
in
85
25,
when
we
limited
a
public,
carry
in
in
certain
places,
did
we
give
any
thought
to
health
clubs
which
get
a
large
number
of
people.
AH
I
think
that
was
mentioned,
but
it
and
it
did
not
get
put
in
the
drafts,
but
that's
that
would
fall
under
the
general
category
of
places
that
are
allowed
to
prohibit
or
where
it's
private
businesses
which
are
allowed
to
prohibit
firearms.
If
they
want
to
okay.
J
AH
J
Question
is
with
respect
to
ghost
guns:
we've
made
violations
a
civil
offense
and
only
in
certain
cases,
a
criminal
offense.
What
was
the
thinking
there.
AH
Well,
I
think
that
it's
so
the
not
everyone
who
necessarily
possesses
these
has
an
intent
to
use
them
and
there
are
kits
and
so
forth
and
or
people
buying
parts
for
legitimate
reasons.
And
so
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
we
didn't.
You
know
accidentally
ensnare
someone
who
was
buying
parts
for
legitimate
reasons
and
have
them
face
criminal
liability.
But
if
you
intend
to
create
to,
if
you
intend
to
manufacture
a
gun,
then
it
becomes
a
criminal
offense.
AH
AB
Yeah
one
question
on
the
you
mentioned
required
signage
a
couple
slides
ago,
luis
and
not
the
required
signage,
that's
its
own
ordinance
for
gun
sales,
but
if
you're
concealed
carrying,
I
think
in
sensitive
areas
you
mentioned
required
signage
and
I'm
just
wondering,
like
we've
flipped
the
default,
basically
in
some
places
that
it's
going
to
be
presumed
not
to
you're
not
going
to
be
able
to
have
to
conceal,
carry
in
sensitive
places.
AB
If
you're
one
of
the
listed
categories
and
in
some
listed
categories
you
can't
overcome
that
default,
even
if
you
wanted
to
as
a
business
owner,
so
who's
gotta
display
the
signage
I'm
just
trying
to
figure
out.
Is
it
you
know
if
you're
in
one
of
those
categories
where
you
can't
exempt,
and
you
don't
have
signage,
what
happens
if
you're
in
the
category
where
you
know
the
default
is,
is
flipped
to
no
guns.
If
you
don't
have
the
sign
up
is
there?
AB
AH
This
it's
it's
to
provide
notice
and
it's
it's
something
that
we
will
assist,
assist
businesses
in
getting
going
we'll.
You
know
the
city
will
initiate
creating
the
signage
and
help
them
get.
It
posted.
B
AI
AI
AI
B
Okay.
Well
before
we
go
to
the
general
public
ryan,
could
we
just
go
back
over
our
or
whoever's?
Maybe
it's
sarah,
sarah!
I
think
it's.
If
you
can
go
back
over
our
guidelines
for
publications.
AJ
My
name
is
sarah
huntley,
I'm
the
director
of
communication
and
engagement
for
the
city
and
because
we
anticipate,
we
might
have
some
folks
testifying
tonight
who
are
not
familiar
with
our
processes
and
who
may
have
come
in
later
to
this
meeting.
We
thought
it
would
be
a
good
idea
to
just
quickly
go
over
our
public
participation
guidelines.
AJ
I
am
going
to
share
my
scope.
Somebody
has
shared
it
with
me.
Thank
you
so
much
already,
I
appreciate
it.
I'm
seeing
some
of
those
boxes,
though
emily
but
I'll
work
my
way
through
it.
So
here
in
the
boulder
community,
we
have
been
working
with
community
members
to
co-create
a
vision
for
productive,
meaningful
and
inclusive
civic
conversations.
AJ
Our
goal
here
is
to
encourage
everybody
to
be
able
to
testify,
regardless
of
their
age,
identity,
lived
experience
and
political
perspective.
We
want
those
diverse
perspectives
to
come
into
the
room,
but
we're
also
looking
to
support
the
physical
and
emotional
safety
for
community
members,
staff,
council
and
participants
in
this
process.
If
you
are
interested
in
more
information
about
this
vision
and
how
it
was
created,
we
have
a
lot
of
information
on
our
website
on
the
web
page.
You
can
see
on
your
screen.
AJ
We
do
have
some
very
specific
rules
of
decorum
that
are
found
in
bolder,
revised
code,
specifically
in
support
of
this
vision,
and
these
will
be
upheld
during
this
meeting
and
during
the
next
period
of
public
comment.
So
all
remarks
and
testimony
shall
be
limited
to
matters
related
to
city
business,
so
in
this
case
related
to
the
ordinances
that
luis
just
spelled
out,
no
participant
shall
make
threats
or
use
other
forms
of
intimidation
against
any
person.
AJ
We
do
prohibit
obscenity,
racial
epithet
and
other
speech
and
behavior
that
disrupts
or
otherwise
impedes
the
ability
of
conducting
this
meeting
participants
are
required
to
sign
up
to
speak
using
the
name
they
are
commonly
known
by.
We
did
require
participants
to
sign
up
in
advance,
as
is
customary
with
our
city
process,
and
individuals
must
display
their
whole
name
before
being
allowed
to
speak
online,
with
the
one
exception
of
congressman
goose,
which
council
approved
earlier.
This
evening,
all
testimony
on
this
matter
will
be
audio
testimony.
AJ
I
do
believe
we
have
some
legislators
speaking
as
well
at
eight
o'clock
and
we
will,
if
we
are
not
through
the
public
hearing,
we
will
pause
for
them
to
be
able
to
testify,
and
then
we
will
return
to
our
usual
practices
and
with
that
mayor,
I
think
I
have
completed
going
over
the
guidelines
that
you
requested.
B
AJ
Okay,
I've
got
a
megan
here,
I'm
going
to
allow
you
to
talk
megan,
you
can
unmute
yourself,
but
if
you
could
just
identify
yourself
by
your
full
name,
that
would
be
appreciated
thanks.
My
name
is
megan
voss.
Can
you
hear
me
we
can?
Can
we
just
wait
for
the
timer
to
come
on
the
screen?
Please
so
folks
can
follow
along
with
how
much
time
they
have.
Thank
you
good.
AK
AK
I
live
in
south
boulder,
a
quarter
mile
from
the
table
mesa
king
supers
on
monday
afternoons.
During
the
2020-2021
school
year.
My
daughters
attended
an
art
class
at
tinker
arts
studio
in
the
table,
mesa
plaza
and
I
grocery
shopped
at
king
super.
Since
there
was
no
school
on
mondays
in
bbsd
march,
22nd
2021
was
the
only
monday
all
semester
that
we
were
not
a
table
mesa
instead
because
it
was
spring
break.
AK
I
was
playing
outside
with
my
daughters
when
the
shooting
occurred
we
spent
the
afternoon
listening
to
sirens
and
watching
helicopters
circle
the
store
before
the
king's
super
shooting.
I
did
not
realize
just
how
devastating
gun
violence
would
be
for
a
community
as
a
whole.
Of
course,
I
knew
it
was
traumatic
for
the
victims
and
their
immediate
friends
and
family,
but
I
did
not
anticipate
the
continued
persistent
trauma
for
my
family
and
for
many
families
in
our
neighborhood.
AK
Over
a
year
later,
the
shooting
still
comes
up
daily
for
my
family,
both
of
my
daughters
have
have
had
anxiety
about
their
safety
and
the
safety
of
our
community.
Over
the
past
year
and
two
months
after
the
shooting,
I
felt
powerless,
whereas
many
members
of
the
community
channeled
their
grief
into
activism.
I
was
stunned
and
immobile
now
wrecking
now.
AK
I
recognize
that
this
was
an
understandable
response
to
trauma
now,
however,
as
gun
violence
continues
to
affect
community
after
community,
I
feel
compelled
to
speak
up,
although
there
is
no
single
ordinance
that
conv
that
can
prevent
a
massacre
like
the
ones
in
boulder,
buffalo
and
uvalde.
The
package
of
actions
before
you
tonight
makes
substantial
progress
towards
keeping
firearms
out
of
the
wrong
hands
and,
in
particular,
raising
the
legal
age
of
purchase
to
21
and
requiring
a
waiting
period
before
a
purchaser
takes
possession
may
have
prevented
the
deaths
in
buffalo
and
uvalde.
F
You
city,
council
members,
my
name
is
christina
gardner
and
I
live
in
south
boulder
as
a
mother
of
three
a
teacher
and
a
monsterman
action
leader.
I've
been
in
the
gun,
violence,
prevention,
movement
for
the
past
five
years,
I'm
also
a
member
of
the
everytown
survivor
network
due
to
the
murder
of
a
dear
friend
and
colleague,
who
was
killed
in
a
domestic
violence
attack
involving
a
gun
as
a
resident
of
south
boulder.
I
also
know
the
heartache
that
follows
a
mass
shooting
in
one's
neighborhood.
F
I
also
know
that
the
gun
violence
happening
across
our
country
is
preventable.
If
legislators
take
action
such
as
these
ordinances
that
are
grounded
in
evidence-based
research
as
an
educator
and
parent,
I
want
to
ensure
that
we
are
doing
all
we
can
to
prevent
all
gun.
Violence
prohibiting
firearms
in
sensitive
places
fosters
safer
spaces
and
also
recognizes
the
continued
trauma
that
survivors
of
gun
violence
deal
with
when
repeatedly
exposed
to
the
open,
carry
of
firearms.
F
Similarly,
requiring
waiting
periods
and
raising
the
minimum
age
of
purchase
to
21
is
backed
by
solid
research.
Data
shows
that
18
to
20
year
olds
commit
gun
homicides
four
times
higher
than
the
rate
of
adults,
21
and
older.
Likewise,
introducing
magazine
limits
and
prohibiting
assault
weapons
can
help
prevent
mass
shootings
and
reduce
the
devastation
of
daily
gun
violence.
F
Finally,
the
proposed
10-day
waiting
period
could
have
a
substantial
effect
on
gun
suicide
rates,
since
it
helps
create
a
buffer
between
someone
being
in
crisis
and
having
access
to
a
gun.
This
is
important
when
understanding
that
90
of
suicide
attempts
with
a
gun
are
fatal
compared
to
four
percent
of
those
not
involving
a
gun
in
the
years
since
10
people
were
murdered
at
our
grocery
store,
mass
shootings
and
everyday
gun.
Violence
have
continued
in
staggering
numbers,
and
the
toll
is
immense.
F
Over
a
hundred
people
shot
and
killed
every
day,
not
a
single
week
in
2020
has
passed
without
at
least
four
mass
shootings
and
232
mass
shootings
from
january
to
the
end
of
may
this
year.
We
must
not
continue
to
let
a
lack
of
effective
reform,
be
the
status
quo
in
our
community,
our
state
and
our
country.
Thank
you
for
introducing
these
ordinances
and
please
pass
all
six.
AL
Yes,
just
get
the
clock
there,
you
go
good
evening.
My
name
is
lee
fisk,
I'm
a
boulder
resident
mom
to
two
young
daughters
and
on
the
leadership
team.
The
local
chapter
of
mom's
demand
action.
As
we
all
know,
two
adults
and
19
children
were
murdered
by
gun
in
uvalde
texas
on
may
24th
in
their
classroom
days
before
the
end
of
the
school
year.
All
those
parents,
families,
loved
ones
who
said
goodbye
in
the
morning
and
never
got
to
see
their
child
again.
We
all
feel
the
heartbreak
and
anguish
of
those
families.
AL
We
are
all
reminded
of
so
many
mass
shootings
now
a
daily
occurrence
in
this
country,
including
those
in
our
own
state
like
aurora
and
columbine,
and
our
own
backyard,
with
the
tragic
loss
of
10
members
of
our
boulder
community
in
the
king
super
shooting.
Last
year
since
uvalde,
only
two
weeks
ago,
there
have
been
33
more
mass
shootings
in
the
united
states.
AL
AL
I
want
to
thank
our
boulder
city
council
members
for
taking
seriously
the
threat
that
guns
without
appropriate
common
sense
regulations
pose
to
our
community,
and
I
implore
you
to
pass
the
six
local
ordinances
under
consideration
tonight,
with
the
passage
of
sb
256
local
officials
in
colorado
can
now
protect
their
communities
from
the
devastation
of
gun
violence
by
passing
common
sense
gun
safety
laws.
You,
as
our
city
council,
have
the
power
to
keep
guns
out
of
sensitive
places
like
schools,
prohibit
assault,
weapons
in
high
capacity
magazines
and
better
regulate
gun
dealers.
AL
We
know
that
cities
and
towns
across
the
country
are
watching
to
see
what
boulder
will
do
without
a
doubt.
Passing
these
ordinances
here
will
encourage
local
gun
safety
regulations
elsewhere.
As
a
mother
and
a
gun,
violence
prevention
advocate,
I
ask
you
to
please
help
us
turn
our
collective
heartbreak
into
real
action
that
will
save
lives.
Please
pass
these
ordinances.
Thank
you.
AK
Hello,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes
all
right,
thank
you
for
giving
me
a
moment
to
speak.
My
name
is
haley
brown
and
I
live
in
boulder
right
next
to
howard,
houston
park
with
my
husband
and
my
seven
month
old
daughter,
I'm
here
tonight
to
speak
in
support
of
the
package
of
six
ordinances
related
to
firearm
restriction
within
the
city
of
boulder.
AK
There
have
already
been
over
200
mass
shootings
this
year
in
the
united
states,
200
200
instances
of
four
or
more
people
being
killed
by
a
firearm
in
a
single
incident.
This
number
doesn't
even
reflect
the
number
of
accidental
deaths,
homicides
or
deaths
that
have
occurred
this
year
from
suicide
by
a
firearm.
AK
AK
We
don't
have
to
wait
in
boulder
for
another
instance
of
gun
violence
at
one
of
our
schools
or
at
another
one
of
our
grocery
stores
by
passing
common
sense,
gun
safety
laws,
you're
protecting
our
community
you're
protecting
my
seven
month
old
daughter
who,
in
just
a
few
years
I'm
gonna,
send
to
boulder
valley
schools,
and
I
checked
this
morning.
We
are
zoned
for
columbine
elementary
and
I'm
so
excited.
AK
I
can't
wait
for
her
to
go
to
school
and
meet
her
classmates
and
learn
and
thrive,
but
I
also
want
to
do
whatever
I
can
to
keep
her
and
her
classmates.
Safe
research
shows
that
firearm
restrictions,
like
the
ones
you
consider
tonight,
can
help
prevent
mass
shootings,
injuries
and
fatalities
and
reduce
the
devastation
of
gun
violence.
AK
AJ
AM
I
urge
city
council
to
pass
the
entire
package
of
evidence-based
gun
violence
prevention
measures.
Together
they
represent
a
comprehensive
approach
to
this
public
health
problem
that
we
face.
Here's
just
here
are
just
a
few
reasons
why
first
assault
weapons
and
the
accessories
that
maximize
their
lethality
are
rarely
used
for
self-defense
and
typically
used
in
mass
murders.
They
are
designed
for
the
battlefield
and
have
no
place
in
civilian
life.
Second,
people
between
the
ages
of
18
and
20
commit
16
of
murders,
but
comprise
only
four
percent
of
the
population.
AM
It's
also
an
age
group
characterized
by
impulsivity.
Preventing
this
age
group
from
buying
firearms
will
help
to
decrease
mass
murders,
other
homicides
and
suicides
which
are
so
often
acts
of
impulse.
Third
city-owned
spaces
such
as
parks,
playgrounds,
open
space,
recreation
and
community
centers
are
all
places
where
families
with
children
tend
to
congregate.
Allowing
guns
at
these
location
locations
presents
risks
that
no
family
and
no
child
should
have
to
encounter
fourth
firearms
without
serial
numbers.
Often
hold
those
guns
do
not
require
a
background
check
and
cannot
be
traced
by
law
enforcement.
AM
They
are
frequently
owned
by
those
who
couldn't
pass
a
background
check
and
are
found
by
police
at
an
increasing
number
of
crime
sites.
Fifth,
in
this
era
of
almost
daily
mass
shootings,
the
open
carry
of
firearms
in
public
places
unless
by
law,
enforcement
or
private
security
guards
will
often
and
unnecessarily
provoke,
fear
and
intimidation
and
finally,
requiring
a
10-day
waiting
period
before
a
buyer
can
take.
Possession
of
a
firearm
affords
an
opportunity
for
anger
and
interpersonal
conflicts
to
to
subside
people
driven
by
impulse
to
attempt
suicide.
B
AJ
Mayor,
I
am
not
seeing
a
caitlyn
russell,
as
I
mentioned
to
you
earlier.
We
do
have
one
phone
call
in
listener
and
I've
been
I
unable
to
rouse
that
person
by
text
message.
So
do
you
mind
if
I
just
unmute
that
person
quickly
to
see
who
that
is
on
our
list?
AJ
AJ
AJ
You
are
unmuted,
but
we
can't
hear
you.
You
may
also
have
to
press
the
unmute
button
on
your
phone.
If
you
have
one.
AJ

B
AO
Great
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
speak
with
you.

director

violence
prevention
organization,
like
the
former

gun
owner
and
gun
valve
survivor.
Gabby
giffords,
wanted
to
express
our
strong
support
for
this
package
of
gun
safety
ordinances,
which
would
implement
some
reasonable,
but
critical.
Protections
to
ensure
boulder
is
doing
everything
it
reasonably
can
to
keep
its
residents
safe
from
gun
violence.
AO
A
lot
of
people
were
recently
reminded
in
the
most
horrific
ways
imaginable.
Why
gun
safety
policy
matters
so
much?
We
saw
a
gunman
perpetrate
indescribable
horror
in
a
classroom
in
texas,
with
an
assault
rifle
that
this
proposal
would
effectively
finally
prohibit
in
boulder.
He
was
equipped
with
30
plus
round
large
capacity
magazines
that
this
proposal
would
prohibit.
AO
This
measure
would
help
limit
access
to
the
military-style
weapon
weapons
nearly
using
nearly
all
of
this
nation's
deadliest
mass
shootings
and
which
have
been
used
to
perpetrate
the
vast
majority
of
public
mass
shootings.
It
would
limit
access
to
other
normally
dangerous
devices
like
bump
stocks
that
were
used
by
a
gunman
in
las
vegas,
where
he
shot
bullets
to
the
bodies
of
nearly
500
human
beings.
AO
I
think
I'm
going
to
run
over
time
so
I'll
just
abbreviate
here
at
the
end
and
say
to
be
clear.
These
proposals
will
make
an
enormous
difference.
The
second
amendment
is
not
under
threat,
but
we
are
in
states
that
have
enacted
measures
like
these
children
are
half
as
likely
to
be
shot
to
death
compared
to
the
national
average.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
I
urge
your
support
for
this
package.

I

in

of
all
the
gun
ordinances
proposed
by
the
balder
city
council.
Today,
I'm
going
to
speak
briefly
about
ordinance
8494.
E
I
would
like
to
talk
about
assault
weapons.
Why
do
people
want
to
ban
assault
weapons
because
they
have
been
used
in
some
of
the
most
deadliest
mass
shootings
in
history,
including
sandy
hook?
San
bernardino
pulse,
las
vegas
sutherland
springs,
el
paso,
boulder
and
now
buffalo
and
uvalde
trauma.
Physicians,
say:
exit
wounds
can
be
as
big
as
an
orange.
E
Why
do
people
want
to
ban
large
capacity
magazines
holding
more
than
10
rounds?
Large
capacity
magazines
have
been
used
to
increase
the
death
toll
in
mass
shootings,
including
at
the
aurora
movie
theater
shooting
and
the
king
super
shooting
wideband
rapid
fire
trigger
activators
to
circumvent
the
significant
restrictions
on
machine
guns.
The
gun
industry
has
marketed
devices
that
can
be
attached
to
semi-automatic
firearms
and
accelerate
the
weapons
rate
of
fire
to
rates
approaching
automatic
machine
gun
fire.
E
These
devices,
including
a
bump
fire
or
bump
stock
and
trigger
crank
devices,
were
designed
to
skirt
the
limits
of
the
federal
law.
Why
raise
the
legal
age
to
purchase
firearms
from
18
to
21
years
of
age?
Individuals
between
the
ages
of
18
and
21
commit
gun
homicides
at
four
times
the
rate
of
those
over
21.

you

me
yes
good
evening,
council

to
speak?
My

AP
I
am
a
relatively
new
resident
of
boulder
and
I
am
also
an
attorney
and
I
wanted
to
quickly
share
my
experience
in
my
former
home
state,
which
has
shown
me
how
crucial
it
is
for
boulder
to
lead
on
this
issue
and
how
closely
related
culture
and
economic
prosperity
are
my
family,
and
I
moved
here
from
a
rust
belt
state
in
the
midwest
one
whose
economics
prospects
continue
to
decline
as
the
economy
continues
to
move
away
from
traditional
manufacturing
into
technology
and
service.
AP
My
experience
in
my
home
state
taught
me
how
directly
prosperity
and
culture
are
related.
Over
the
past
20
years,
I
have
watched
the
culture
of
my
former
home
state
regress
in
tandem
with
its
economic
prospects,
as
companies
left,
businesses
downsized
or
closed
in
came
the
individual
rights
rhetoric
of
gun
culture.
AP
It
was
all
their
leaders
had
to
offer
all
good
people.
Many
good
people
followed
them
off.
A
cultural,
cliff
of
anger
and
fear.
Boulder
cannot
afford
a
culture
that
pretends
we
are
back
in
the
wild
west.
It
is
home
to
a
major
research
university
campus,
several
federal

Hey
al,
I
speak
to
you
tonight
with
a
few
hats,
as
the
executive
director
of
two
shelters
here
in
boulder
that
support
women
and
children,
many
of
whom
are
the
victims
of
violence
as
the
vice
president
of
the
boulder
valley,
school
district
board
of
education
and
as
someone
who
grew
up
here
in
the
city
and
has
lived
here
for
the
better
part
of
42
years.
AQ
AQ
One
of
the
areas
where
I
have
to
count
on
you
to
help
me,
keep
the
people
I
love
safe
and
to
keep
our
shelter
residents
safe
and
to
keep
our
students
safe.
So
I'm
asking
you
tonight
pass
every
measure
you
can
to
limit
guns
and
gun
access
in
your
community
and
thank
you
so
much
for
the
time
and
dedication
you've
given
to
this
issue.
X
I
thought
it
was
rather
disingenuous
for
joe
nagoose
to
say
he's
in
washington
dc
and
he
can't
be
here.
This
is
a
zoom
meeting.
It's
9
19
at
the
time
that
he
spoke,
I'm
sure
he
didn't
have
other
meetings
he
had
to
go
to.
Then
I
just
thought
that
was
kind
of
interesting
and
revealing.
X
You
know
what
the
other
f
word
is
fear,
don't
go
there,
don't
go
there.
Bad
word,
the
worst
possible
curse.
Word
is
fear.
X

As
far
as
long
distance
issues
alyssa
bought
his
gun
in
arvada.
So
what
we
need
is
not
just
denver.
We
need
the
whole
world
to
say
no
to
any
firearms.
What
you
know
and
bob
yates
and
matt
benjamin
said
they
have
guns.
I'm
stunned
that
you
could
admit
it
when
the
fact
is
it's
more
dangerous
for
you
to
have
one
what
an
admission.

AR
AR
I
I
work
with
children
and
their
families
in
my
private
psychotherapy
practice
here
in
boulder,
both
after
the
recent
uvalde
shooting
and
the
local
shooting
at
king
supers.
I
counseled
many
of
the
parents
that
I
work
with
on
how
to
address
tragedy
with
their
children.
AR
I
urge
you
now
to
pass
all
the
six
ordinances
that
are
being
considered
tonight.
All
six
would
assist
in
preventing
mass
shootings
and
gun
violence
and
suicides
as
a
mental
health
provider.
I
can
speak
to
the
fact
that
passing
ordinance,
85
29,
that
adds
waiting
periods
to
firearm
sales
will
reduce
suicides
suicides,
especially
by
young
people,
are
often
impulsive.
AR
AS
Can
you
hear
me
now
we
can
all
right,
hello,
everyone,
I'm
speaking
with
you
guys
tonight,
because
I
want
to
bring
some
real
common
sense
to
these
common
sense
gun
laws
as
city
council
members.
You
guys
have
no
right.
Restricting
our
second
amendment
right,
especially
while
allowing
boulder
to
be
a
sanctuary
city
criminals
from
around
the
world
can
come
here
without
being
pursued.
It
will
be
a
big
mistake
to
start
restricting
legal
citizens
rights
to
defend
themselves.
AS
Far
more
lives
are
saved
each
year
by
guns
than
taken
by
guns.
Everything
you
everything
you
guys
are
voting
on
tonight
is
just
virtue.
Signaling
in
case
you
guys
forgot
criminals,
don't
obey
laws,
nothing
being
proposed
will
stop
mass
shooters
and,
according
to
statistics,
it
might
actually
cause
more
mass
shooters
to
target
boulder
according
to
a
study
done
by
the
crime,
prevention
and
research
center,
89
percent
of
mass
shootings
between
1988
and
2019
occurred
in
gun
free
zones.
AS
During
the
same
time,
an
fbi
study
stated
that
88
of
mass
shootings
were
premeditated,
meaning
they
were
planned.
When
these
angry
individuals
see
these
signs
saying
gun-free
zones,
they
and
other
criminals
will
target
these
places,
knowing
there
won't
be
anyone
armed
there
to
stop
them.
If
another
mass
shooting
happens
in
boulder
at
one
of
these
gun
free
zones,
the
victim's
blood
will
be
on
your
hands.
Thank
you
for
letting
me
speak
tonight.

Thank
you,
council,
for
your
important
work
on
gun
to
prevent
gun
violence
by
enacting
common
sense
laws
in
our
community.
Many
will
say:
what's
the
point.
Boulder
is
merely
20
square
miles
in
this
very
large
nation,
but
I
disagree.

go,

we
can
hello.

you

allowing
me

tonight.

county
resident
and,
most
importantly,
I'm
the
father
of
a
14
year
old
daughter
who
attends
bbsd
schools.
I
worked
on
the
original
assault
weapons
band.
AN
It
is
our
gun
cult
which
has
no
counterpart
in
any
other
advanced
democracy,
republican
politicians,
the
gun,
lobby
and
gun
makers
are
complicit
not
only
in
weakening
gun
laws,
but
also
glorifying
firearms
and
encouraging
their
sale.
Sales
of
assault
style
weapons
generate
the
highest
profits
of
any
other
guns.
AN
AN
AN
The
us
is
doing
it
all
wrong.
All
such
explanations
ignore
the
obvious
rejoinder
that
our
culture
is
pretty
similar
to
canada,
australia,
new
zealand
and
britain,
and
these
countries
don't
have
anywhere
close
to
the
same
level
of
gun,
violence
that
we
have
with
england,
canada,
australia
and
new
zealand
can
solve
this
mass
slaughter
of
innocence.
Then
so
can
we
please
pass
these
ordinances
tonight.
Thank
you.

AJ
AJ
AU
Okay,
my
name
is
jody
schlower.
Thank
you
all
for
considering
this
gun
violence,
prevention,
ordinances,
I'm
a
boulder
resident
and
mom
of
two
four
years
ago,
when
17
students
and
teachers
at
marjory,
stoneman
douglas,
were
murdered.
I
mourned
here
in
boulder.
I
went
to
high
school
in
parkland
and
was
crushed
by
this
news.
AU
I
felt
pretty
alone,
as
this
was
much
more
personal
for
me
than
it
was
for
my
friends
and
neighbors,
unfortunately,
that
all
changed
last
year,
when
boulder
had
a
personal
experience
of
10
lives
being
lost
to
gun
violence,
and
now
today
it's
even
more
common
to
have
a
personal
connection
to
gun
violence
tragedy.
Then
it's
not
there's
a
lack
of
rules
on
guns,
statewide
and
nationally.
AU
It
almost
feels
impossible
to
get
anywhere,
but
more
of
us
need
to
stand
up
and
speak
out
for
what
is
right.
This
is
about
gun
responsibility,
not
controlling
law-abiding
citizens
guns.
The
fact
that
local
municipalities
can
enact
their
own
laws
now
stricter
than
the
state
laws
shows
that
we
can
make
progress.
AU
We
must
start
locally
and
put
on
the
pressure
on
colorado
legislature
statewide
to
pass
more
life-saving
laws.
I
appreciate
the
members
of
the
city
council
considering
local
action
today.
Bob
yates
spoke
on
behalf
of
her
of
a
responsible
gun
owner,
and
that
is
much
appreciated.
We
need
more
responsible
gun
owners
to
speak
out,
for
what
is
right.
Thank
you
all
for
your
time.

hello,

I

I
have
nothing
to
say
except
pass
these
ordinances,
and
thank
you
for
doing
this.
It
is
a
good
step.
One
thing
I
will
say
the
majority
of
violent
crime
in
the
u.s
is
home
grown
for
those
who
found
it
necessary
to
bring
citizenship
into
the
conversation.
AV
AW
We
need
to
look
no
further
than
the
pulse
nightclub.
Shooting
that
took
place
in
orlando
florida
on
june
12,
2016
to
know
the
very
real
threat
that
unregulated
access
to
firearms
posed
to
myself
and
members
of
my
community,
the
lgbtq
plus
community
49
people
died
that
night
and
more
than
50
were
wounded.
AW
Transgender
and
gender
non-conforming
people
have
been
uniquely
impacted
by
gun
violence
since
2013.
Nearly
two-thirds
of
fatal
violence
towards
transgender
and
gender
non-conforming
people
have
involved
a
gun.
The
overwhelming
majority
of
those
victims
were
black
transgender
women
under
the
age
of
30.
AW
guns,
impact
lgbtq,
plus
communities,
not
only
through
mass
shootings
or
acts
of
random,
but
gun
violence.
Lgbtq
plus
people
are
more
likely
to
commit
suicide
because
of
their
harsh
treatment
by
society.
The
number
one
use
for
guns
in
the
united
states
is
suicide.
Suicide
accounts
for
six
out
of
every
ten
gun
deaths
in
our
country.
AW
Here
in
colorado,
it's
three
out
of
four.
Far
too
often
even
well-meaning
people
talk
about
these
problems
like
they
have
no
solutions.
When
we
know
some
of
the
solutions-
and
we
know
the
solution
can
save
lives,
you're
considering
six
measures
tonight
that
can
make
a
huge
difference
in
decreasing
gun
violence
in
our
communities
on
behalf
of
outboulder
county
and
the
lgbtq
plus
community.
AW
B
Thanks
so
much
bruce
okay,
I
see
we
have
representative
judy
in
mobile
present
and
as
well
as
representative
edie
hooton,
and
let
me
just
ask:
let's
see,
I
wonder
we
could
we
get
maybe
a
motion
to
allow
our
legislators
to
use
their
video
as
well,
because
I
believe
we
only
accepted
congressman
goose
before
I
moved
so
moved
second
motion
in
a
second:
can
I
get
a
show
of
hands?
B
Great
okay?
So,
let's
see
I,
my
eye
fell
on
edie
first,
so
edie
thank
you,
representative
putin,
so
much
for
joining
us
and
one
when
you
go
ahead
and
speak
to
us.
Thank
you.
AX
Thank
you,
mayor
brockett,
and
thank
you.
Everyone
for
who's
joined
the
call
and
to
our
council
members
for
these
proposed
ordinances.
AX
I'm
sure
that
everyone
here
is
familiar
with
what
they
do
and
a
few
of
them
were
triggered
by
legislation
that
was
passed
after
the
king
super
shooting,
senator
fenberg,
and
I
were
sponsors
of
one
bill
and
that's
the
ban
on
assault
weapons.
The
sale
of
that
and
a
few
other
things
in
boulder
county
and
representative
mobley
carried
another
bill,
but
clearly
we're
quite
supportive
of
the
ordinances,
and
we
encourage
council
members
to
vote
in
favor.
AX
It's
very
important
that
we
locally
exercise
the
authority
that
we
have
to
protect
our
communities
to
the
extent
that
we
can-
and
I
think
it's
worth
noting-
that
I
have
not
received
one
email
or
one
communication
over
social
media
and
opposition
to
these
ordinances,
which
I
think
may
be
an
indication
there
is
some
positive
movement
taking
place
not
only
in
the
state
but
nationally
and
I'll.
Let
other
I'll.
Let
my
colleagues
speak
to
their
experience.
With
that,
I
will
say.
AX
As
a
legislator,
I
have
observed
many
times
the
value
of
local
action,
especially
when
communities
take
action.
That
is
quite
similar.
The
way
it
percolates
up
to
the
state
level
and
informs
state
legislators
and
motivates
them
to
take
action
and
how
states
do
the
same
thing
when
they
act
in
coordination
on
an
issue
and
the
way
that
impacts
activities
at
the
federal
level.
AX
So
I
think
it's
just
an
important
reminder
for
everyone
that
this
action
at
the
local
level
will
make
a
difference
and
especially
that
we
now
that
we've
got
louisville
and
lafayette
taking
the
same
actions,
and
we
know
that
other
communities
around
the
state
of
colorado
will
do
the
same
thing
too.
So
with
that,
I
want
to
thank
the
council
members
again
for
offering
these
ordinances
and
for
councilman.
AX
Benjamin
and
yates
for
their
excellent
guest
editorial
in
sunday's
paper.
That
really
was
an
absolutely
a
perfect
summary
of
what
these
ordinances
are
attempting
to
do
the
gravity,
the
situation
and
how
impactful
it
is
for
us
to
act
locally.
AX
So
thank
you
very
much
everyone
for
your
time
and
with
that
I
defer
to
my
colleague.
AY
Thank
you
and
thanks
for
inviting
us
to
come
here
and
talk
today.
I
just
want
to
express
my
deep
gratitude
to
the
city
of
boulder
for
leading
on
this
issue,
and
we
already
see
that
leadership
really
matters,
because
the
boulder
city
council
started
and
already
superior
louisville
lafayette
and
other
municipalities
are
looking
at
following
suit
and
also.
I
think
that
I
want
to
echo
what
rep
hooton
said,
which
is
that
the
state
will
also
follow
your
lead.
AY
Once
we
get
enough
cities
telling
us,
you
have
to
act,
and
it
is
a
little
bit
more
complicated
for
us,
because
there
are
more
of
us
and
we
have
more
people
who
we
have
to
get
on
board
before
we
can
get
things
passed.
But
I
am
incredibly
grateful
and
honored
to
be
a
member
of
this
community
and
to
have
you
all
representing
us
on
this
issue.
So
I
just
want
to
touch
on
the
thing
that
is
the
most
meaningful
for
me,
and
that
is
this
waiting
period.
AY
So,
several
years
ago
my
son
was
having
a
mental
health
crisis
and
he
decided
he
was
going
to
buy
a
gun
to
kill
himself
and
we
found
out
about
that.
He
went
to
a
gun
shop.
He
did
a
background
check
paid
for
the
background
check
and
just
by
luck,
the
background
check
did
not
come
back
instantly,
but
just
to
be
clear
for
anyone
who
doesn't
know,
we
have
instant
background
checks
here
it
you
normally
can
buy
a
gun
in
about
10
minutes.
AY
His
background
check
did
not
come
back
instantly,
his
father
and
I
went
to
the
gun,
shop
and
begged
them.
Please
don't
sell
him
this
gun
and
they
showed
us.
This
is
the
gun.
He's
gonna
buy
here's,
how
much
it
costs,
here's
the
paperwork
and
we
don't
actually
have
a
legal
mechanism
to
not
sell
the
gun,
but
we
persuaded
them
by
crying
and
yelling
and
begging
and
they
wrote
on
his
paperwork.
AY
Don't
sell
the
gun,
but
they
told
us
he
seems
like
a
very
nice
young
man
and
under
normal
circumstances
we
would
have
no
reason
not
to
sell
the
gun,
and
I
believe
that
that
little
bit
of
luck
on
that
background
check
saved
my
son's
life,
and
so
I
do
hear
people
saying
well
what
does
it
do
to
act
locally?
But
here's
the
thing.
AY
Even
if
we
saved
one
kid
and
that
kid
was
your
kid
or
my
kid,
then
I
think
it
would
be
worth
it
and
I
don't
think,
there's
a
parent
out
there
who
wouldn't
agree
with
that
and
so
again
I
just
want
to
say
I
really
applaud
you
for
taking
these
steps
and
they
will
save
lives
and
it's
not
everything
we
need
to
do.
But
it
is
meaningful
thanks.
B
All
right.
We
also,
I
believe,
have
senator
steve
fenberg
with
us
as
well.
Can
we
bring
senator
penberg
online.
AZ
Great
thank
you
mayor
brockett,
and
thank
you,
council
and
everyone
who
has
been
working
on
this
on
this
issue.
You
know
I
I'll
echo
a
lot
of
what
has
already
been
said,
but
you
know
the
the
context
in
the
background
here
is
no
state,
as
far
as
I
know,
prior
to
colorado
has
actually
repealed
a
state
preemption
on
on
on
having
local
communities
pass
ordinances
around
gun,
violence
prevention.
AZ
We
have
passed
several
really
smart
common
sense.
I
think
life-saving
policies
at
a
state
level
when
it
comes
to
gun
safety,
I'm
sure
several
have
been
mentioned
and
folks
are
very
aware
of
them,
whether
it's
the
red
flag
law,
the
universal
background
checks,
which
we
even
expanded.
Recently
safe
storage
requirements,
requirement
to
report
lost
and
stolen.
High-Capacity
magazine
bans
several
pieces
and
I
do
think
many
of
them
are
working
in
concert
with
each
other
to
to
collectively
create
an
environment
that
has
saved
a
lot
of
lives.
AZ
There's
one
law
that
we
passed
a
year
ago
now
that
I
think
is
going
to
end
up
being
one
of
the
most
impactful
and
that's
the
one
that
I'm
speaking
about,
which
is
the
repeal
of
preemption,
and
that's
that's
where
you
come
in,
and
that's
why
the
work
that
you
are
doing
is
so
important,
because
we
knew
that
even
if
we
passed
all
of
the
laws
that
we
wanted
to
at
a
state
level,
it's
not
going
to
be
enough,
and
we
really
need
to
empower
local
communities
to
have
these
conversations
based
on
what
is
needed,
what
they
are
seeing
on
the
ground
and
what
they
think
is
right
to
keep
them
and
their
citizens
safe
and
so
what's
happening
today.
AZ
The
discussion
in
boulder
is
exactly
what
we
wanted
to
happen,
and
I
think
it's
really
important
to
recognize
that
this
has
been
an
incredibly
thoughtful
exercise
on
your
on
on
your
part.
This
is
not
a
knee-jerk
reaction
once
you
were
given
the
ability,
it's
not
like
the
next
day
you
rushed
and
just
passed
a
boilerplate
ordinance.
But
clearly
you
have
thought
about
this.
AZ
You
have
coordinated
with
other
communities
discussed
with
experts
and
with
folks
who
have
been
victims,
and
this
is
what
is
needed
to
go
above
and
beyond
what
the
state
has
done.
AZ
What
the
community
has
told
you
is
important
and
that
will
result
in
creating
a
safer
community
and
it
might
not
be
what
works
everywhere,
but
I
think
we
will
see
over
the
next
few
years,
community
after
community
along
the
front
range
replicating
a
lot
of
what
you
are
discussing
here
and
I
think
that's
incredibly
important,
because
the
the
landscape,
when
it
comes
to
how
we
think
about
guns
and
the
role
that
they
play
in
our
lives
and
the
the
violence
that
can
result
from
them,
it's
different
in
every
community.
AZ
To
be
honest,
I
mean
it
is
guns
are
different
in
sterling
colorado
or
brush
colorado
or
in
delta
county
versus
boulder,
and
that's
okay,
but
with
that
also
means
that
local
communities
should
be
able
to
have
that
discussion.
AZ
About
what
is
best
for
their
community
based
on
that
relationship,
so
I
think
a
lot
of
communities
are
going
to
learn
from
this
they're
going
to
replicate
it,
and
I
think
that
will
have
a
bigger
impact
than
even
just
in
boulder
and,
as
others
have
said-
and
I
know
representative
immobile
has
said
this
it.
You
know
the
the
idea
is
partially,
not
just
because
some
cities
and
communities
are
different
from
one
another,
and
so
you
should
have
that
ability
and
that
right
to
have
that
discussion
at
a
local
level.
AZ
But
you
can
be
a
laboratory
to
help
influence
the
state
to
know
what
are
the
best
practices?
How
do
waiting
periods
get
implemented
in
a
way
that
will
save
the
most
lives?
How
can
we
be
smart
and
strategic
about
banning
weapons
that
have
the
ability
to
cause
incredible
havoc
and
harm
and
murder?
AZ
Those
are
the
the
the
pieces
that
I
think
you
are
going
to
learn
that
we
are
all
going
to
learn
from
this
experience
and
is
going
to
act
as
sort
of
a
laboratory
for
smart
policy
that,
I
think,
will
result
in
saving
many
many
lives
down
the
road.
So
you
know
again
what
you
were
doing
with
these.
This
ordinance
is
incredibly
powerful.
AZ
Incredibly
important-
and
I
will
say,
is
exactly
what
the
legislature
had
in
mind
when
we
passed
the
bill
to
give
you
the
ability
to
to
have
these
community
discussions
and
to
pass
local
ordinances,
because
that's
where
this
discussion
really
should
live,
you
are
closest
to
the
citizens
in
many
ways
that
we
all
represent,
and
you
should
be
able
to
do.
AZ
What
is,
I
would
say,
is
the
fundamental
function
of
of
government,
especially
local
government,
and
that
is
to
to
keep
your
community
and
citizens
safe,
and
that's
what
you're
doing
today.
So
I
applaud
everything
that
you
were
doing
it
is.
AZ
It
is
incredibly
important
and
again
is
following
exactly
in
line
with
what
we
have
in
mind
and
what
we
think,
as
as
legislators
who
voted
for
that
policy
is
exactly
the
types
of
policies
that
in
ordinances
that
will
result
in
lives
being
saved
and
that's
at
the
end
of
the
day.
What
matters
so.
Thank
you
so
much
for
for
your
work.
Thank
you
for
the
discussions.
AZ
You've
led
and
been
a
part
of
for
for
a
long
time
now,
but
especially
over
the
last
year
and
a
half
or
so
it
means
the
world
to
me
and
my
family
as
as
residents,
but
also
as
a
public
servant.
Knowing
that
in
many
ways
the
the
baton
has
been
handed
to
you
and
it'll
it'll
come
back
to
the
state
because
there's
a
whole
lot
more
work.
We
have
to
do
at
a
state
level
as
well,
but
this
is
a
partnership
and-
and
I'm
excited
that
that
it's
happening
in
this
fashion.
AZ
So
thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
thank
you
council.
B
Well,
thank
you
so
much
for
that.
Senator
fenberg
or
I
should
say
senate
president
fenberg,
so
we're
just
so
grateful
for
your
words
and
for
your
actions.
B
So
really
appreciate
very
much
all
of
three
of
you
being
here
tonight,
representatives
and
senator
fennberg,
and
let
me
just
say
you
know,
after
the
horrendous
tragedy
at
the
king
supers
in
boulder
last
year,
the
way
that
you
all
sprung
into
legislative
action
immediately
was
really
inspiring
and
a
comfort
to
us
in
dark
times
that
you
took
very
seriously
the
horrific
tragedy
that
we
suffered
through
and
gave
us
the
ability
to
enact
our
own
legislation
which
we're
now
moving
forward
with
right
now.
So
just
our
gratitude
is
very
deep.
B
Very
good:
well
that
ends
the
legislator
portion
of
our
public
testimony,
and
do
we
have
terry
crook
back.
AJ

AK
Hi,
my
name
is
pam
mcmillan,
and
I
want
to
first
thank
council
members
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
as
a
mother
of
two
young
daughters
in
boulder.
I
speak
in
favor
of
the
six
ordinances
to
prevent
gun
violence.
According
to
the
cdc
gun,
related
injuries
became
the
leading
cause
of
death
among
children
and
adolescents
in
2020..
AK
This
statistic
is
sobering
and
sickening
to
any
parent,
only
fueling
our
anxiety
for
the
safety
of
our
children
after
every
mass
shooting.
I
feel
nauseous
when
I
drop
my
kids
off
at
school
and
I
have
a
knot
in
my
stomach
all
day.
As
I
worry
about
their
safety,
we
should
not
have
to
live
like
this.
Our
kids
should
not
have
to
fear
going
to
school
to
learn.
Parents
and
children
have
endured
enough
trauma
from
these
acts
of
gun
violence
and
it
is
past
time
to
implement
stronger
gun
laws.
AK
We
should
have
taken
action
23
years
ago
after
columbine.
I
want
to
thank
you
in
particular
for
reproposing
an
assault,
weapons
ban
and
banning
bump
stocks.
Research
shows
that
restrictions
on
assault
weapons
can
help
prevent
mass
shooting
injuries
and
fatalities
and
reduce
the
devastation
of
daily
gun
violence.
AK
AK
We
have
the
opportunity
to
make
boulder
a
safer
community
to
live
by
passing.
All
six
ordinances
boulder
will
become
a
more
attractive
place
for
people
to
raise
their
families.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
your
commitment
to
improving
the
safety
of
our
community.
Please
vote
yes
on
all
six
ordinances.
BA
Hi
there
can
you
hear
me:
yes,
I'm
tina,
piven,
wagers
clinical
psychologist
and
teaching
professor
emerita
from
cu
boulder
and
also
happy
to
represent
mom's
demand
action
tonight.
I
wholeheartedly
support
the
proposed
gun
ordinances
currently
before
the
council
and
I'm
delighted
to
see
our
community
move
towards
these
important
steps.
BA
BA
Scientific
studies
repeatedly
find
that
people
with
mental
illness
are
more
likely
to
be
victims
rather
than
perpetrators
of
violence.
In
numerous
studies,
mental
illness
is
not
a
reliable
predictor
of
violence
towards
others,
including
an
important
study
from
the
fbi
focused
on
mass
murders.
Only
a
tiny
percentage
of
people
with
serious
mental
illness
ever
commit
violent
acts.
Current
research
on
violence
is
much
more
focused
on
factors
like
childhood
trauma,
angry
thoughts,
personal
grievances,
life
stressors
and
disinhibition,
none
of
which
are
mental
health
disorders,
but
the
most
compelling
evidence
against
a
mental
health
gun.
BA
Violence
argument
is
this
about
one:
in
seven,
people
around
the
globe
have
one
or
more
mental
or
substance
abuse
disorders,
including
the
us
indeed,
rates
of
mental
illness
in
the
us
are
comparable
to
those
in
many
parts
of
europe
and
australia.
However,
the
rate
of
gun
violence
in
our
society
is
25
times
higher
than
in
countries
with
similar
economic
development
and
social
conditions,
blaming
gun,
violence
and
mental
illness.
Further
stigmatizes
a
population
that's
already
struggling
and
is
just
unhelpful
from
a
predictive
or
explanatory
standpoint,
access
to
guns
greatly
increases
our
risk
of
societal
violence.
BA
BB
Thank
you,
council,
eric
budd.
I
live
in
boulder.
I
really
appreciate
city
council
taking
on
this
issue
and
it's
one.
That's
really
something
that's
been
been
led
by
leaders
in
the
democratic
party,
but
this
is
something
that
really
benefits
everyone
in
our
city
and
it's
so
important.
So
thank
you
and
I
also
want
to
thank
reps
edie,
hooton,
julia,
mobile
and
senate
president
fenberg.
BB
For
speaking,
I
think
it
is
part
of
their
work
that
is
enabled
this
night
and
they
said
that,
and
I
strongly
support
you
all
passing
these
measures,
including
the
assault
weapons
ban,
and
I
do
also
want
to
put
a
little
pressure
back
on
our
legislators
that,
while
we've
seen
we're
seeing
action
from
boulder
we're
also
seeing
action
from
louisville
and
lafayette
city
councils
tonight,
which
is
really
exciting,
but
there
are
certain
things
that
we
simply
should
be
doing
at
a
state
level,
which
I
think
we
should
be
looking
at
an
assault
weapons
ban.
BB
You
know
it's
it's
something
that
we've
experienced
here
in
boulder.
We
know
that
we
know
the
limits
of
what
we
can
do
in
our
own
municipality.
BB
We
saw
this
with
a
mass
shooting
that
we
had
last
year
with
a
gun
that
was
bought
in
colorado
outside
of
the
city
of
boulder,
and
I'm
asking
our
legislators
to
do
more,
and
so
I
really
appreciate
you
all
moving
forward
on
passing
these
measures
and
continue
to
put
this
in
your
state
legislative
plan
to
have
the
city
of
boulder
be
an
advocate
for
more
protections
at
the
state
level.
Thank
you
so
much.
B
Thank
you
eric
now
we
have
fred
barton
eric
walls
and
then
jennifer
mapley.
BC
BC
I
am
opposed
to
the
measures
that
the
city
council
is
considering.
I
didn't
have
much
time
to
prepare
a
nice
long.
You
know
two
minute
long
speech,
because
I
only
found
out
about
this
about
an
hour
before
the
meeting
I
this
issue,
unlike
some
of
the
others
that
have
been
discussed
so
far
in
the
meeting,
is
a
very
divisive
issue
for
our
community.
BC
There's
not
been
nearly
as
many
people
participating
in
this
discussion
as
there
has
been
in
the
previous
discussion,
mostly
because
people
probably
don't
know
about
it.
I
would
highly
suggest
and
recommend
that,
instead
of
making
a
unilateral
decision
on
something
that
is
so
divisive
to
the
community,
that
the
city
put
the
issue
to
a
ballot
measure
and
allow
the
city,
the
individual
citizens
of
the
community
to
determine
their
viewpoints
and
have
a
voice
in
deciding
which
way
the
city
decides
these
issues.
BC
As
an
aside
I
know
of
for
during
the
crime
wave
of
the
pandemic,
that
we
had
there's
many
people
that
are
negatively
affected
by
these
potentially
by
these
issues,
I
know
of
an
80-year-old
woman,
who
was
robbed
twice
in
one
day,
came
to
buy
a
gun
in
a
gun
store
because
she
was
so
concerned
and
had
she
been
made
to
wait,
she
wouldn't
have
felt
nearly
as
safe
for
the
you
know,
hours
later,
that
she
got
robbed
or
attempted
robbery
again
so
sort
of.

BD
Good
evening
council,
my
name
is
jennifer
mabry,
I'm
a
boulder
native
and
live
in
south
boulder.
I
was
at
king
supers
and
table
mesa
just
four
hours
before
the
slaughter,
I'm
here
to
urge
our
city,
council,
state
and
federal
officials
to
take
steps
like
australia
to
reduce
to
work
to
eliminate,
eliminate
access
to
assault
weapons
intended
for
war.
BD
You,
our
leaders,
have
failed
us
and
failed
two
generations
of
children
who
don't
have
fancy
white
gloved
lawyer
on
k
street
to
fight
for
their
rights
for
freedom,
innocence
or
life,
our
city
and
our
county,
and
our
country
need
to
turn
off
the
spigot
of
sale
of
these
mass
assault,
weapons
and
offer
programs
for
buyback
and
destruction
of
these
assault,
weapons
that
are
already
in
circulation.
We'll
never
get
control
of
the
situation.
If
we
do
not
eliminate
guns
entirely.
BD
AJ
AJ
B
Okay,
well
with
that.
That
concludes
our
public
testimony,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone
for
weighing
in
and
giving
us
your
thoughts,
there's
some
very
powerful
statements.
We
appreciate
everyone
for
joining
us,
so
it
brings
us
back
to
city
council
for
a
discussion
on
the
matter.
We've
got
rachel
with
our
handouts.
B
Very
good
rachel:
do
you
want
to
speak
to
your
motion.
AB
AB
The
ordinances
under
consideration
tonight
are
intended
to
reduce
gun
violence
in
our
community,
and
I
hope
that
in
taking
this
action,
we
honor
those
10
individuals,
as
well
as
all
others,
both
within
and
outside
of
boulder,
who
have
fallen
victim
to
the
gun.
Violence
epidemic
plaguing
our
country.
AB
I
believe
that
our
number
one
job
as
elected
officials
is
to
safeguard
our
community
members,
and
these
ordinances
can
help
us
to
do
so.
So
I
will
be
voting
yes
on
all
of
the
measures.
I
also
want
to
thank
a
few
people,
governor
polis,
senator
fenberg
and
house
representatives
and
mobile
and
hooton,
as
has
been
discussed
previously.
AB
I'm
deeply
grateful
for
the
part
that
each
played
in
the
state
of
colorado
repealing
preemption,
which
enables
cities
including
boulder
to
enact
gun
laws
to
best
protect
our
communities
to
my
colleagues,
as
well
as
to
the
2018
boulder
city
council.
Simply
stepping
into
this
politically
fraught
space
can
be
tough,
and
I
am
sincerely
grateful
for
everyone's
willingness
to
be
here.
I
also
want
to
thank
city
staff
who
do
all
of
the
real
work
in
the
city,
and
I
want
to
thank
giffords
in
every
town
for
providing
guidance
and
support
along
the
way
on
this
journey.
AB
Thank
you
to
congressman
goose
for
speaking
up
a
second
time
in
favor
of
gun,
violence
prevention
efforts
here
in
boulder
and
to
all
of
our
community
members
who've
emailed
and
testified
and
supported
these
efforts.
I'd
like
to
especially
recognize
survivors
here
in
boulder,
I'm
sure
that
every
time
you
speak
up
in
honor
of
your
loved
ones
or
about
your
own
harrowing
experiences,
it
exposes
a
never
healed
wound.
AB
So
thank
you
for
stepping
into
that
space
gun
violence
continues
to
escalate
in
a
maddening
trend
upward
that
is
daunting
to
watch
and
horrific
to
experience,
but
shrugging
or
turning
away
and
accepting
a
worsening
status
quo
is
not
okay,
implementing
common
sense
gun
laws
is
the
right
thing
for
us
to
do.
I'm
frankly
frustrated
that
it
is
left
to
cities
to
enact
these
laws
that
the
federal
government,
or
at
least
state
governments
could
and
should
be
doing.
AB
I
applaud
our
neighbors
in
superior
lafayette
and
louisville
louisville.
I
think,
got
in
ahead
of
us
and
has
passed
their
ordinances
unanimously
within
the
last
hour
and
cities
around
the
state
who
are
also
taking
up
gun
violence
prevention,
ordinances
in
the
wake
of
preemption
being
repealed
together.
I
hope
that
we
can
make
the
city
of
boulder
the
county
of
boulder
and
all
of
colorado
an
even
better
place
to
live.
AB
AB
AG
I
would
thank
you
aaron
like
like
rachel.
I
want
to
first
thank
the
organizations
and
the
people
who
helped
us
prepare
this
legislation.
We
are
indebted
to
gifford's
law
center,
to
prevent
gun
violence
and
to
every
town
for
gun
safety.
Both
organizations
assisted
us
in
drafting
these
ordinances
based
on
best
practices
they
were
seeing
around
the
country.
AG
AG
But
I
want
to
say
my
biggest
thanks
to
my
city,
council
colleague,
and
my
friend,
rachel
friend,
rachel
has
lived
and
breathed
gun,
violence
prevention
for
more
than
four
years
long
before
she
was
elected
to
the
boulder
city
council,
as
a
community
member
in
2018,
rachel
was
the
leading
champion
for
the
gun,
violence
prevention
legislation
that
we
passed
that
year
since
joining
council
rachel
has
been
tireless
in
advocating
for
sensible
gun
laws
to
keep
our
families
and
our
community
safe
and
rachel.
Not
only
led
the
formulation
of
boulder's
legislation,
legislation
that
we
will
pass
tonight.
AG
She
has
been
a
steady
and
reliable
resource
for
the
communities
around
boulder
who
are
passing
their
own
gun,
violence,
protection
legislation,
prevention
legislation,
some
of
them
acting
this
very
night
rachel.
I
know
that
you
have
only
another
year
or
so
left
in
council,
but
the
legislation
that
we
will
pass
tonight
will
be
your
lasting
legacy.
AG
I
will
be
voting
in
favor
of
all
six
pieces
of
gun
violence
prevention
legislation.
As
a
lawyer,
I
believe
that
these
six
ordinances
have
been
crafted
to
comply
with
state
and
federal
law
as
a
responsible
gun
owner.
I
believe
that
these
ordinances
are
not
unduly
burdensome
on
those
who
want
to
own
guns
safely.
AG
AG
It
will
take
courage
and
action
by
our
state
legislature
and
our
governor
and
we'll
take
courage
in
action
by
our
congress
and
by
our
president,
but
perhaps
more
important
than
government
action.
Saving
lives
will
require
the
responsibility
of
gun
sellers
gun
owners
and
the
family
and
friends
of
vulnerable
people,
intent
on
hurting
themselves
or
on
hurting
others.
AG
AG
My
mentor,
the
former
president
of
colorado
state
university,
taught
me
this
humility
is
a
recognition
that
your
life
could
collapse
in
an
instant
as
we
pass
these
essential
gun
violence
prevention
measures.
Tonight,
let
us
be
humble:
let
us
recognize
that
with
the
simple
pull
of
a
trigger
anyone,
we
love
could
be
taken
from
us
in
an
instant.
AG
B
J
Thank
you
mayor
before
I
begin
I'd
like
to
second
bob's
comments,
especially
the
thanks
that
he's
offered
to
our
colleague,
rachel
friend
and
the
work
that
she
has
put
into
this
subject
for
so
many
years.
J
As
a
member
of
that
unhappy
club,
it
is
appropriate
that
today,
boulder
takes
actions
to
address
the
conditions
that
permit
such
violence
to
occur.
But
first,
let's
be
clear:
we're
not
taking
away
guns.
People
have
the
right
to
possess
guns,
to
defend
their
homes,
to
go
to
a
firing
range
or
to
hunt.
J
J
J
AA
AA
It
really
brings
up
all
the
times
in
our
own
lives
where
we've
been
touched
by
gun
violence
where
our
lives
and
those
of
people
we
love
have
been
torn
apart,
and
so
I
will
be,
I
will
be
supporting
all
of
these
ordinances
tonight,
but
I
wanted
to
thank
everybody
who
was
willing
to
overcome
their
own
fear
and
trauma
to
speak
to
us
tonight
to
advocate
for
the
safety
of
our
whole
community.
AA
There
were
a
few
things
that
some
folks
said
during
the
public
hearing
that
I
wanted
to
lift
up
that
just
really
resonated
with
me.
Rachel
daley
said
we
have
to
act
in
this
capacity
we
can
andrew
o'connor
said
we
don't
have
to
live
like
this
and
jodi
sklar
said
more
of
us
need
to
stand
up
and
speak
up
for
what
is
right.
AA
We
can't
solve
national
problems,
but
we
can
make
our
residents
our
community
a
little
bit
safer.
We
can
do
what
we
can
with
the
tools
that
we
have
at
our
disposal
to
protect
our
community
and,
ultimately,
that's
really
what
I
feel
our
job
is
on
council
to
keep
our
community
safe
to
the
best
of
our
ability.
AA
That's
what
we're
doing
here
tonight
and
I
just
want
to
echo
everybody
else's
thanks
to
staff,
to
my
colleagues
who
have
been
working
on
this
far
longer
than
I
have,
and
just
thank
you
for
everything
that
you've
done
to
move
this
forward
and
keep
our
community
safer.
G
I
thank
you,
aaron
for
the
opportunity
to
say
a
few
words
and
I
certainly,
I
think,
take
the
space
to
recognize
the
emotion
that
comes
through
talking
about
these
things
and,
as
nicole
put
it,
the
testimony
was,
was
raw
and
heartfelt
and
necessary
for
the
subject
we're
dealing
with
and
have
been
working
through
for
a
long
time
and
we've
had
daily
reminders
of
why
this
is
so
hard
and
especially
because
of
having
gone
through
ourselves
in
our
community.
G
I
want
to
you
know
absolutely
echo
what
bob
said
in
the
just
unequivocal
gratitude
towards
rachel
and
her
tireless
work
over
the
years.
I'm
not
sure
we
would
be
here
if
it
weren't
for
her
leadership
and
and
not
just
leadership,
but
the
empathy
in
which
she
drives
for
the
change
that
has,
you
know,
led
us
to
these
moments.
So
so
I
thank
you
for
that
rachel
and
thank
the
previous
councils
for
for
building
the
foundation
from
which
we
can
work
from
tonight.
G
I
also
want
to
thank
my
colleague
bob
yates,
for
standing
with
me
and
talking
as
responsible
gun
owners
for
why
we
feel
that
these
ordinance
do
not
infringe
on
the
second
amendment
and
that
it's
going
to
take
more
responsible
gun
owners
to
stand
up
and
say
enough
is
enough
and
to
hopefully
tip
the
scales
to
this
long-standing,
meaningful
change,
not
just
here
in
boulder
but
through
the
state
and
hopefully
around
the
country.
So
I'm
hopeful
for
that
and,
as
ari
said
it
earlier.
G
Boulder
is
still
grieving:
the
loss
of
10
family
members,
friends,
neighbors
and
co-workers,
and
we
will
be
for
a
long
time,
and
so
I
support
these
six
ordinances
wholeheartedly,
because
doing
nothing
is
an
endorsement
of
the
status
quo
and
that's
not
something
that
I'm
willing
to
live
with.
Thank
you.
B
Thanks
man,
I'll
just
offer
a
few
words
I'll
start
with
the
the
thank
you.
So
bob
did
a
great
job
of
listing
all
the
people.
Who've
worked
so
hard
on
this,
so
thanks
again
to
to
staff
who've
done
this.
I've
worked
so
hard
on
this
and
and
to
call
out
rachel
as
well
rachel
for
your
tireless
work
on
this.
It's
actually
how
I
first
met
you
was
when
I
got
a
phone
call.
B
You
know
on
this
this
topic
four
odd
years
ago,
and
you
were
a
tireless
advocate
then-
and
you
continue
to
be,
and
thank
you
for
that,
and.
AS
B
I
I
also
want
to
call
out
from
our
effort
in
2018
to
ban
assault
weapons,
jill,
grano,
council,
member
jill
grano
and
because
it
was
her
initiative
that
first
brought
this
forward
in
2018.
So
I'm
grateful
to
her
for
starting
us
along
this
path
as
say
you,
you
know,
gun
violence
is
a
scourge
on
our
society.
B
No
action
is
taken,
and
I
do
very
much
appreciate
our
legislature
and
our
governor-
stepping
in
and
passing
new
legislation
to
address
these
issues
and
to
give
us
the
ability
to
act
here
locally,
and
so
I'm
very
proud
to
be
part
of
a
city,
council
and
part
of
a
community
that
supports
us
to
say
that
thoughts
and
prayers
are
not
enough,
that
we
have
to
take
the
actions
that
we
can
with
the
tools
that
we
have
available
to
us.
B
So
I'm
very
proud
to
support
these
ordinances
today
they
will
make
our
community
safer
and
thanks
again
to
everyone
for
everything,
we've
done
for
this
effort
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
our
vote
tonight,
and
I
think
this
may
be
the
time
for
it.
Does
anyone
want
to
offer
any
final
comments
before
we
move
to
that?
B
AF
AF
I
think
that
you
know
gun
violence
is
too
big
for
our
community
to
solve
on
its
own,
but
like
these
other
important
issues,
it's
also,
you
know,
weighs
too
heavy
on
us
to
not
move
forward
with
in
the
ways
that
we
can
and
to
do
as
much
as
we
can,
I'm
so
proud
to
serve
on
council,
with
all
of
you
to
take
on
this
issue
and
so
proud
to
be
a
part
of
this
community
that
brought
you
know
forward
so
much
bravery
tonight.
AB
C
BD
C
C
AF
B
B
Okay!
Well.
That
concludes
our
agenda
item
here
and
alicia.
Do
we
have
anything
else
for
us
tonight.
AB
AD
AD
Best
friends,
jody
waters
was
killed
in
that
shooting
and
I'm
not
going
to
say
that
we
feel
better,
but
it
is
at
least
something
and
I'm
sure
it
means
so
much
to
so
many
of
us
that
were
unfortunately
touched
by
that
affected
by
that,
not
by
that
day
and
I'm
thinking
about
officer
talley
and
how
brave
he
was
as
well
at
this
time,
and
I'm
just
really
want
to
give
each
one
of
you
a
hug
and
the
community
as
well,
thanks
for
being
with
us
for
supporting
us,
for
so
many
kind
words
and
for
a
wonderful
civic
discourse.
AD
B
Okay,
we'll
see
no
others.
I
will
go
ahead
and
gavel
our
meeting
closed
here
at
8,
50
p.m.
Thanks
so
much
everyone
have
a
good
night.
