For
everybody
in
the
audience,
I
don't
know
how
much
this
will
come
through
for
folks
watching
from
home.
We
did
our
best
to
address
in
an
assortment
of
rainbow
colors,
to
show
our
pride
tonight
so
joining
in
with
everyone
else
in
the
community
who
is
celebrating
the
beginning
of
pride
month
more
than
50
years
ago,
patrons
and
supporters
of
the
Stonewall
Inn
in
New
York
City
resisted
police
harassment
that
had
become
all
too
common
for
members
of
the
lesbian,
gay,
bisexual,
transgender
and
queer
lgbtq
plus
community.
F
F
Boulder
has
a
diverse,
lgbtq
plus
community.
That
includes
people
of
many
ethnicities,
religions
and
professions,
and
we
consider
diversity
to
be
a
Community
Asset
that
enhances
and
enriches
the
lives
of
every
resident
worker,
visitor
and
student
in
our
city.
Lgbtq
plus
individuals
are
our
teachers,
Baristas
volunteers
check
workers
current
and
Future
Leaders
and
Elders.
They
keep
our
community
going
while
dealing
with
the
anti-lgbtq
plus
bias
and
discrimination
that
persists
even
here
in
Boulder,
and
that
is
growing
across
the
country.
F
Although
other
states
and
even
the
United
States
Supreme
Court,
are
taking
away
or
limiting
the
rights
of
lgbtq,
plus
individuals
and
Families
advocacy
from
the
lgbtq
plus
community
in
Boulder
County
and
allies
across
the
state
led
to
some
significant
victories
this
year.
Our
legislature
ensured
that
our
state
will
not
cooperate
in
investigations
of
people
who
travel
to
Colorado
for
Reproductive
or
gender
affirming
care
and
attempts
to
change
our
state
constitution
to
restrict
lgbtq
plus
students,
privacy
and
access
to
life-saving
community
connections
failed,
as
did
a
ban
on
transgender
athletes
participation
in
sports.
F
F
So,
as
our
city
celebrates
Pride
this
month,
we
not
only
honor
our
lgbtq
plus
communities
and
advocacy
organizations
for
their
continued
work
to
achieve
equity
in
our
systems.
We
also
restate
our
commitment
to
this
ongoing
work
to
promote
and
protect
everyone
in
our
community,
regardless
of
gender
or
sexuality.

All
right
here
we
go
I'm
Rachel
friend
and
I'll
be
reading
the
National
Gun
Violence
Awareness
Day
declaration
June
2nd
2023.
Every
day
more
than
110
Americans
are
killed
by
gun
violence.
On
average
there
are
more
than
16
000
gun
homicides
every
year
and
Americans
are
26
times
more
likely
to
die
by
gun
homicide
than
people
in
other
high-income
countries.
H
Colorado
has
an
average
of
930
gun
deaths
every
year
with
a
rate
of
15.6
deaths
per
100
000
people
Colorado
has
the
22nd
highest
rate
of

Deaths

Homicides
predominantly
occur
in
cities,
with
more
than
half
of
all
firearm

gun
deaths
in

a

was
tragically
shot
and
killed.

Just

every

and
the
countless

who
are
injured
by

Every
Single

a
National
Coalition
of
organizations
has
designated
the
first
Friday
in
June
as
National
Gun
Violence
Awareness
Day.
The
idea
was
inspired
by
a
group
of
hideous
friends
who
asked
their
classmates
to
commemorate
her
life
by
wearing
orange.
H
They
chose
this
color
because
Hunters
wear
orange
to
announce
themselves
to
other
Hunters
when
out
in
the
woods
and
orange,
is
a
color
that
symbolizes
the
value
of
human
life
following

king,
supers
Table,
Mesa
mass
shooting
on
March
22nd
2021
in
the
city
of
Boulder.
We
renew
our
commitment
to
reduce
gun
violence
now,
more
than
ever
and
pledge
to
do
all
we
can
to
keep
Firearms
out
of
the
wrong
hands
and
encourage
responsible
gun
ownership
to
help
keep
our
community
safe.
H
So
we,
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
Boulder,
Colorado,
declare
June
2nd
2023
as
National
Gun
Violence
awareness
day
and
encourage
all
community
members
to
support
their
local
communities,
efforts
to
prevent
the
tragic
effects
of
gun
violence
and
to
honor
and
value
human
lives
with
that
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Jean
Bucci,
and
it
is
a
huge
honor
to
be
up
here
with
you
all.
Thank
you
for
all
the
work
you
do
and
I'm
gonna.
I
Thank
you,
council,
member
friend,
mayor
Brockett
city
council
members
on
behalf
of
the
boulder
group
of
Moms
Demand
Action
for
gun
sense
in
America.
Thank
you
for
this
declaration
of
June
2nd
as
National
Gun
Violence
Awareness
Day.
As
we
all
know,
the
epidemic
of
gun
violence
in
our
country
is
causing
tragedy
and
heartbreak
daily,
including
a
tragedy
at
our
own
Table
Mesa
king
supers.
It
is
incumbent
upon
all
of
us
to
work
together
to
bring
an
end
to
these
preventable
tragedies.
I
We
wish
to
thank
the
Boulder
City
Council
for
its
leadership
on
gun
violence
prevention.
You
have
taken
bold
action
to
address
this
issue.
You
have
not
backed
down
even
when
subjected
to
personal
insults
and
threats
of
lawsuits.
The
Slate
of
gun,
violence
prevention,
ordinances,
passed
unanimously
by
this
Council
in
2022,
has
served
as
a
model
for
our
state
and
will
save
lives.
I
We
also
want
to
acknowledge
and
honor
the
brave
survivors
of
gun
violence
who
keep
coming
forward
to
tell
their
painful
stories
and
keep
doing
the
hard
work
of
advocating
for
an
end
to
gun
violence.
As
the
statistics
cited
in
the
proclamation
show,
there
is
still
much
more
work
to
do.
Boulder,
Moms,
Demand
Action
thanks
the
boldest
Boulder
City
Council
for
its
continued
attention
to
this
issue,
and
we
look
forward
to
continuing
our
work
together.
Thank.

The
sink
has
also
played
a
role
as

community
convener
and
is
a
must-see
for
tourists.
B
It
is
one
of
the
longest
running

in
Boulder
and
has
been
a

Elementary.
B
So

the
city
council
of
the

Colorado,
recognize

it'll
look
like
I
am
not
looking
at
you,
but
I
am
I.
Just
can't
read
the
type
of
the
following
are
examples
of
rules
of
decorum
found
in
the
boulder
Revised

and
in
other
guidelines
that
support
this
vision,
and
we
will
uphold
these
tonight

Now

Okay,.
D
M
That
country
is
Switzerland
with
one
of
the
world's
lowest
poverty
rates,
the
highest
median
net
worth
and
the
highest
newspaper
readership,
because
people
can
do
something
about
what
they're
reading
their
high-speed
trains
run
on
time
and
the
country
avoids
Wars
half
the
U.S
states
also
have
direct
democracy,
but
there
is
a
simple
reason:
it
hasn't
made
us
nearly
as
successful
as
Switzerland.
It
is
much
easier
to
get
on
the
ballot
in
Switzerland
than
in
any
U.S
state.
For
two
reasons.
M
One
less
signatures
are
required,
proportional
to
population
in
Switzerland
than
any
U.S
state
about
half
as
much
as
Colorado.
The
Swiss
can
leave
petitions
unattended
in
stores
and
offices,
but
here
each
person's
signature
must
be
witnessed
and
notarized,
which
in
Colorado
now
costs
about
two
million
dollars.
M
Boulders
first
in
the
country,
online
petitioning
solves
the
same
problem,
but
with
much
better
security.
Since
people
and
politicians
here
couldn't
be
trusted
with
leaving
petitions
unattended
as
Switzerland
here,
citizens
are
infantilized
not
empowered
by
deceitful
and
manipulative
governments.
The
result
is
Trump
and
contempt
for
government
in
2018
oil
and
gas,
hired
petitioner
harassers
paid
petitioning
companies
to
stop
petitioning
and
hijack
petitions
online
petitioning
solves
all
these
problems
and
doesn't
more
stop
obstructing
it.
Thanks.

A
good
neighbor
agreement
is
possible
if
we
all
try
Mark
Wallach
at
the
previous
council
meeting
said
just
because
something
is
hard
doesn't
mean
you
shouldn't,
do
it
the
reason
it
is
important
to
have
a
good
neighbor
agreement
is
because
it
will
contain
information
about
why
the
center
will
exist
and
what
they
will
be
doing
and
address
the
concerns
and
expectations
of
residents
and
businesses.
My
point
is:
we
need
to
set
standards,
we
need
to
set
rules,
expectations
and
consequences.
N
N
Kurt
fernhaber
does
not
want
to
place
work
into
doing
a
good
neighbor
agreement
because
it
is
too
hard
too
time
consuming
things.
May
change
programs
and
impacts
may
change.
These
are
not
good
reasons.
That
is
why
a
good
neighbor
agreement
is
necessary
if
a
homeless

live
next
door.
My
point
is
Kirk
can
say
XYZ
today
and
six
months
from
now
he
can
change
it.
A
good
neighbor
agreement
will
protect
the
community
from
this.
N
N
O
O
College
students
are
struggling
to
make
ends
meet
in
this
city,
and
as
long
as
these
business
practices
are
allowed,
more
young
people
will
be
forced
to
choose
between
their
base.
Their
basic
necessities
and
their
education
I
believe
that
instituting
a
self-sufficient
wage
at
25
an
hour
is
a
good
way
to
start.
O
We
are
all
aware
that
Boulder
is
an
expensive
place
to
live
and
there
is
very
little
little
affordable
housing
for
undergraduate
non-freshman.
Raising
the
minimum
wage
would
benefits
working
students
who
are
struggling
to
pay.
The
rent
MIT
reports
that
the
living
wage
for
a
single
person
with
no
children
in
Boulder
County
is
twenty
dollars
and
sixty
cents
an
hour.
O
Therefore,
if
I
was
working
40
hours
a
week,
48
Hours
a
year
before
tax
I
would
be
spending
approximately
52
percent
of
my
annual
earnings
on
rent
alone,
but
I'm
a
student
and
I'm
unable
to
work
full-time
since
I
am
pursuing
a
degree
I'm,
not
alone
in
this
struggle,
either.
In
order
to
make
the
city
more
accessible
for
everyone,
Boulder's
wages
must
reflect
its
cost
of
living.
O
P
This
is
Carolyn
ellardine.
Can
you
hear
me
yes,
great
I
would
like
to
say
that
it
would
be
pretty
unnecessary
to
give
up
on
raising
the
wage
in
2024..
The
current
minimum
is
unrealistic
and
unsustainable,
given
the
cost
of
living
and
last
week,
several
dimensions
of
the
wage
issue
received
insufficient
attention.
P
On
this
topic,
there
was
a
suggestion
to
hire
an
economist
to
perform
a
so-called
independent
analysis,
ostensibly
on
the
very
same
public
data
here,
I
urge
Council
to
learn
from
recent
missteps
and
avoid
relying
on
expertise
from
any
one
person,
particularly
in
a
research
area
famous
for
the
over-representation
of
white
male
and
class
privilege.
Second,
greater
emphasis
should
have
been
placed
on
the
incremental,
legally
regulated
and
constantly
self-reviewing
nature
of
the
plans
under
discussion,
but
reasonable
remarks
often
pale
in
comparison
with
reactivity.
P
Finally,
there
was
no
discussion
of
the
advantages
to
business:
a
higher
wage,
alleviates
turnover,
a
central
problem
in
expensive
locations
like
ours,
particularly
in
hospitality
industries
and
a
higher
wage
increases
consumer
spending.
So
please
make
this
the
city
of
Boulder's
bottom
line.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Q
Yeah
Lynn,
you
need
to
go
back
to
three
minutes
each
45
minutes.
You
know
you,
you
need
to
hear
from
your
public.
My

That's

I
I
thought
it
was
because,
seven
years
ago,
I
needed
a
roof,
didn't
get
the
roof
put
on.
No
it's
because
of
inflation.
It's
because
of
the
state
of
Colorado.
Q
It's
because
of
people
not
being
paid
enough
in
their
jobs.
As
people
have
told
you
today,
you
need
to
raise
the
minimum
wage.
We,

brings
all
with
it

You
need
to
reconsider
her
I
I,
don't
know
what
the

is
with

Board
of
Trustees
I.
Think
she's
got
a
good
gripe
and
there
are
back
door
deals
going
on
with
the
city
of
Boulder
I
find
that
all
the
time
with
the
city
council
with
regards
to
Excel
Energy,
the
rate
increases
way,
not
good
I
testified.
Yesterday.
Q
There
was
great
testimony
regards
to
my
homeowners
taxes,
property
taxes,
there's
three.
It
went
from
three
thousand
to
six
thousand.
Q
This
year
it
went
from
900
000
to
1.34
million,
and
it's
just
not
sustainable,
because
these
taxes
go
straight
back
into
higher
rents
for
the
king,
supers
people,
you
need
to
balance
jobs
and
housing,
because
the
more
people
that
are
in
service
industry
coming
into
town
without
balance,
there's
more
and
more
of
them
you're
getting
more
and
more
light-tech
funds
and
federal
tax
subsidies
and
giving
more
and
more
parking
lifting
parking
restrictions
and
height
amendments
to
the
big
time
developers
in
town
that
are
building
three
and
four
million
dollar
condos.
All
over
that.
Q
R
Thank
you,
members
of
Boulder
City
Council.
My
name
is
Kate
Kelly
I
am
the
boulder
lead
organizer
for
New
Era
Colorado
as
an
organization
that
represents
and
works
alongside
the
young
people
of
Colorado
and
as
a
young
person
myself.
We
believe
that
all
people
deserve
the
opportunity
to
thrive,
not
just
survive,
setting
a
regional
minimum
wage
with
an
implementation
by
2024,
based
on
the
self-sufficiency
standard
for
Boulder
County
will
Empower
young
people
with
the
Financial
Security
to
live
and
build
community
in
Boulder.
R
The
current
Statewide
pay
is
nowhere
near
enough
for
someone
to
support
themselves
in
this
County
with
the
skyrocketing
pace
of
rent,
the
crushing
weight
of
student
debt
and
juggling
competing
schedules
between
school
and
work.
Young
people
are
not
able
to
keep
up
for
young
people
in
this
County.
Our
research
and
data
visualization
map
on
housing.
Affordability
found
that
of
the
over
twenty
thousand
young
households
renting.
Sixty
percent
of
those
households
are
paying
unaffordable
rent,
which
is
defined
as
rent
that
costs
more
than
30
percent
of
someone's
income.
R
Additionally,
our
polling
data
we
LED
this
year
shows
that
young
people
often
forego
many
basic
necessities,
such
as
grocery,
is
in
healthcare.
In
order
to
afford
to
keep
a
roof
over
their
heads,
no
one
should
be
forced
to
go
hungry
or
ignore
their
medical
needs
in
order
to
live
in
Boulder
County.
We
do
not
have
the
privilege
to
wait
for
city
council
to
implement
a
minimum
Regional
wage
any
longer.
Young
people
need
Solutions
now
or
risk
their
health
and
ability
to
call
Boulder
home
by
raising
the
minimum
wage.
R
Young
people
will
be
able
to
invest
more
where
their
life
is.
Young
people
are
an
integral
part
of
this
community
and
they
need
a
city
council
who
represents
their
needs
in
our
2021
youth
agenda.
Listening
tour
money
was
noted
as
the
second
common
most
common
barrier
for
young
people
to
not
being
more
involved
in
their
communities.
How
much
you
make
should
not
determine
the
level
of
involvement
you
get
to
have
where
you
live.
Young
people
are
revolutionary
and
their
vision
of
the
world
and
their
the
drive
they
possess
is
one
that
benefits.
R
S
Okay
good
evening,
Council
I
have
a
short
statement
regarding
the
use
of
motorized
e-bikes
in
the
very
specific
areas
surrounding
Wonderland
Lake.
While
e-bikes
may
be
appropriate
on
Trails
east
of
Broadway,
with
a
relatively
flat
and
open
terrain,
they
are
not
suitable
for
the
Wonderland
Lake
Area.
The
Wonderland
Lake
paths
already
have
significant
pedestrian
traffic,
especially
small
children,
strollers
leashed
pets
and
joggers.
S
S
My
concern
is
primarily
with
preserving
the
public
safety
e-bikes
due
to
the
increased
weight,
may
have
difficulty
achieving
reasonable
stopping
distances,
increase
stopping
distances
and
reduce
maneuverability
may
not
May.
Pro
is
an
unreasonable
risk
to
pedestrians,
especially
in
crowded
environments,
which
might
include
tourists
and
visitors
unfamiliar
with
the
area.
S
The
combination
of
increased
speeds,
limited
visibility
on
the
trails
and
potential
unanticipated
interactions
with
children
and
pets
creates
hazardous
situations
that
can
be
reasonably
anticipated,
allowing
e-bikes
on
Wonderland
Lake
paths
with
significant
existing
pedestrian
traffic
could
increase
the
likelihood
of
accidents,
potentially
resulting
in
legal
claims
for
the
failure
to
provide
a
safe
environment
for
pedestrians
despite
the
known
risks.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
B
T
No
I
just
want
to
thank
people.
A
lot
of
different
topics
brought
today
and
I
wanted
to
thank
thank
Sonia
for
your
comments.
I
want
you
to
know
and
I
know
that
the
topic
of
the
day
Services
Center,
has
been
one
I
want
to
thank
council
members,
Yates
and
Weiner,
who
have
met
with
Community,
along
with
staff.
T
B
Great,
very
good,
any
city
council
comments,
well
I,
guess
I'll,
just
throw
in
one
I
appreciate
the
folks
who
came
to
speak
about
the
the
minimum
wage
tonight.
Your
comments
are
well
taken.
We
did
discuss
this
at
our
study
session
last
week.
There
was
some
disagreement,
but
I
think
near
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong,
we
are
working
on
the
topic
of
the
minimum
wage.
It
looks
like
implementation
is
coming
in
what
kind
of
a
time
frame
we.
T
Are
I
think
from
the
from
the
direction
that
we
got
from
Council
is
to
continue
to
move
forward.
There
is
support
for
our
continued
work
with
the
Consortium.
We
were
asked
to
then
go
back
and
scope
what
it
would
look
like
to
move
this
forward
and
what
timing,
and
what
lift
that
would
be
to
create
this
and
put
this
as
this
is
now
on
the
work
plan.
T
So
we
will
come
back
to
council
with
a
scope
and
that
scope
will
depend
on
what
ability
our
partners
may
have
to
support
some
of
the
work
so
that
it's
not
obviously
just
city
of
Boulder.
Since
City
Boulder
cannot
enact
on
its
own
a
regional
minimum
wage,
it
really
is
done
with
our
partners,
and
so
that
work
is
ongoing
and
we
will
be
bringing
it
back
to
council.
I,
don't
know
the
exact
date,
but
I
will
certainly
follow
up
with
Council
and
let
you
know
thanks.
B
C
B
B
O
C
C
Yes,
sir,
our
call-up
check-ins
are
item
four
on
tonight's
agenda
for
a
is
the
call-up
consideration
of
a
review
and
comment
on
the
proposed
site
development
plan
for
New
Vista
High
School,
proposing
to
replace
the
existing
School
building
at
720th
street
with
a
new,
approximately
74
000
square
foot,
two-story
High
School
new
sports
field
and
enlarged
parking
lot
and
updated
access.
This
is
reviewed
under
case
number,
lur
2023-00017.
V
U
This
particular
review
is
being
done
pursuant
to
State
Statute
and
not
through
the
city's
typical
review
processes.
Colorado
revised
statutes,
2232
124
listed
here
requires
the
Board
of
Education
of
a
school
district
to
submit
a
site
development
plan
for
review
and
comment
to
the
Planning
Commission
or
governing
body
quality
prior
to
construction
of
a
new
building.
U
State
law
doesn't
further
describe
the
process
or
specify
the
review
criteria.
So
staff
has
approached
this
review
process
similar
to
a
concept
plan
using
the
typical
review
criteria
and
focusing
on
the
policy
considerations
in
the
bbcp
so
similar
to
a
concept
plan.
No
approval
or
denial
is
the
property,
is
a
12
and
a
half
acre
site
located
northwest
of
the
intersection
of
Broadway
and
Baseline.
It
contains
the
existing
New
Vista
High
School
facility,
including
existing
buildings,
parking
and
recreational
fields.
U
The
underlying
uvcb
comp
plan
land
use
is
primarily
public,
reflecting
the
current
High
School
use
and
the
zoning
is
rh5
where
public
schools
are
allowed
by
right.
The
Proposal
is
a
replacement
of
the
existing
building
with
the
new
74
000
square
foot.
Two-Story
building
the
school
district
has
determined
that
the
existing
building
is
no
longer
able
to
adequately
serve
the
needs
of
the
High
School
population.
U
The
replacement
buildings
would
be
located
adjacent
to
the
existing
building
and
following
completion
of
the
new
building,
the
existing
building
would
be
demolished.
The
parking
area
in
the
southwest
corner
of
the
site
would
also
be
updated
with
the
new
one-way
pickup
and
drop-off
Lane,
updated
access
points,
additional
parking
and
new
bike
parking.
U
At
the
planning
board
hearing
on
May
16th,
the
board
thanked
the
school
district
for
their
presentation
and
for
sharing
their
decision-making
process
and
they
provided
feedback
on
the
site
development
plan,
including
on
the
proposed
energy,
efficient,
School
design,
the
proposed
site
layout
and
the
proposed
vehicular
parking
changes.
The
board
approved
a
motion
to
draft
a
letter
to
the
pbsd
Board
of
Education
that
would
incorporate
the
staff
memo
and
summarize
and
note
the
board's
input
on
the
school
design.
A
final
draft
of
that
letter
will
be
transmitted
to
the
school
district.
U
So,
in
terms
of
the
review
process,
the
city
can
review
and
comment
on
the
first,
this
proposal
per
state
statute,
but
it
is
not
a
decision-making
body
on
the
island.
The
school
district
is
not
required
to
undergo
a
site
review
process
and
is
not
subject
to
the
typical
review
process
is
under
the
city's
land
use
code.
New
construction,
Remodeling
and
renovation
of
schools
is
permitted
through
the
state
and
not
through
the
city.
U
B
V
W
Yeah
good
evening,
I
just
got
in
this
is
Chris
stapenigan
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
the
bond
with
Boulder
Valley
School
District.
B
Thanks
for
joining
us
Chris
Lauren
did
you
say
a
question
for
the
applicant.
X
Looking
through
this
application,
one
of
the
things
that
struck
me
is
that
you
know
New
Vista
is
a
you
know,
has
kind
of
an
inspiring
educational
model
that
isn't
a
typical
and
to
me,
this
building
didn't
quite
match
that
level
of
inspiration
and
I
was
wondering
if
the
applicant
might
be
willing
to
have
conversations
with
our
design,
Advisory
board
or
Transportation
board
to
help
you
know
push
forward
some.
Both
the
design
aspects
and
the
sustainability
aspects.
W
Yeah,
so
we
have
gone
through
a
lot
of
iterations
of
design.
This
started
back
in
2021
with
a
a
committee
group
talking
about
the
future
of
New
Vista.
We
talked
about
what
would
be
the
best
option
moving
forward.
Would
this
be
you
know,
renovating
restoring
the
building
that
was
not
really
bound
to
be
costly
or
sustainable,
and
we've
gone
through
design
iterations,
for
you
know
higher
sustainability.
We
think
we
have
a
very
high
energy
efficient
and
good
Sustainable
Building.
W
X
W
D
W
With
and
present
to,
counselors
I
guess
be
here
for
these
questions
we
we
haven't
experienced
this
before
so
maybe
Shannon
can
speak
to
that
more.
B
Shannon,
can
you
weigh
in
on
the
timing,
perhaps
of
when
this
review
with
playing
Wharton
council
is
happening.
U
Yeah
I
think
that
the
city
had
been
communicating
with
the
school
district
regarding
the
state
statutes
and
what's
required
under
under
those
and
communicated
back
and
forth
a
bit
about
that
and
determined
that
it
was
an
item
that
needed
to
go
through
this.
V
U
And
so
when
we
received
the
the
requested
documents,
we
tried
to
move
it
forward
as
quickly
as
possible
to
to
planning
board
and
through
the
process.
That's
why
it's
before
you
tonight.
Y
F
Just
wanted
to
follow
up
a
little
bit
on
Lauren's
question:
Chris
I,
my
oldest
child,
was
at
Creekside
when
that
school
was
being
redone
and
if
I'm,
remembering
correctly,
that
process
had
a
ton
of
Engagement
from
the
school
Community.
Is
that
has
that
already
happened
at
this
stage
so
that
you
know
folks
in
the
school
parents
students
teachers
have
already
weighed
in
on
this.
W
It
absolutely
it
has
this
started
back.
Like
I
said
in
2021,
we
went
through
a
lengthy
process
that
involved
students,
parents,
community
members,
District
leadership,
principal
staff.
We
had
meetings
to
and
evaluations
of
outside
groups
on
the
site
and
the
building-
and
this
was
unanimously
voted
once
presented,
the
Board
of
Education
and
the
committee
members
that
this
was
the
route
to
go.
W
W
Yeah
we've
had
design
advisory,
Team
meetings
throughout
the
whole
process,
we've
been
in
design
for
well
over
a
year,
and
so
yes,
everybody
has
been
fully
in
the
know
and
weighed
in
on
the
design
process.
Z
I'm
gonna
I'm
gonna
sort
of
follow
where
Lauren
was
I,
think
her
questions
were
poignant
but
but
Chris.
Some
of
your
last
statements,
I,
think,
are
a
little
concerning
for
me
that
you
that
Community
has
weighed
in
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
that
dialogue.
This
is
the
first
word
hearing
about
it.
Z
So
I
I
I
take
I'm
a
little
concerned
that
we,
as
the
representatives
of
107
000
people,
are,
are
hearing
about
this
when
it's
at
100
completion
and
that
doesn't
feel
like
there's
been
that
type
of
Outreach
to
where
the
broader
Community
again
you're
a
sovereign
state
entity,
and
we
respect
that.
But
we
have
Partners
at
the
University
that
also
do
their
work.
Z
We're
brought
in
at
a
much
earlier
level
just
to
sort
of
have
that
conversation
make
sure
we're
all
in
the
right
place,
play
page
trying
to
build
a
really
good,
sustainable,
well-looking,
community
and
so
I
think,
there's
just
a
a
few
red
flags
that
sort
of
come
up
there
and
and
I'll
sort
of
echo.
Where
again
my
colleague,
council
member
folkerts,
was
was
sort
of
pushing
and
I
guess.
The
question
is,
is
why
you
know
we're
talking:
there's
gonna
be
some
design
questions
here.
It
seems
moot
obviously,
but
why
didn't?
Z
Why
didn't
the
district
push
the
envelope
because
it
seems
like
it
doesn't
meet
the
Boulder
Valley
comp
plan
in
terms
of
our
general
design
standards
in
terms
of
how
we're
trying
to
push
the
envelope,
and
it
doesn't
also
seem
to
meet
bbsd's
green
plan
when
you
look
at
that
and
so
I'm
just
sort
of
wondering
why
why
we
didn't,
if
we're
building
this
for
the
next
50
to
70
years?
Why
does
it
seem
like
we're
it's
building,
something
that
was
form
and
factor
from
20
years
ago?
W
Matt
there's
where
I'll
say
it
does
follow
the
Boulder
Valley
School
District's
Green
Building
principles
that
were
adopted
by
the
Board
of
Education
and
we
and
we
have
engaged
Community.
We
have
a
constant
communication.
We
have
a
bond
page.
There
is
communication
engagement
throughout
the
school
throughout
the
community
surrounding
that
I
I
do
apologize.
You
haven't
been
involved
with
that,
but
we
do
work
hard
at
communicating
our
processes
involving
the
community.
B
Okay,
thanks
for
that
Chris
I,
guess
I'll,
just
we'll
just
need
to
keep
in
mind
as
Council.
We
with
that
bbsd
is
a
separate
I
know.
I'm
getting
to
you
is
is
a
separate
entity
right.
So
we
you
know,
this
is
not
something
where
we
have
control
over
her
telling
them
what
to
do.
But
hopefully
there
is
the
potential
for
us
to
have
a
few
comments
that
might
be
considered
even
at
this
late
stage,
obviously
not
redoing
the
building
entirely,
but
perhaps
there
are
some
some
thoughts
that
could
be
taken
into
account.
H
Thanks
and
thanks
for
being
here
so
when
and
I'm,
not
sure,
I
have
the
right
numbers
because
we
are
getting
informational
late
and
some
of
my
questions,
weren't
answered,
but
my
big
concern.
Reading
our
packet
was
the
number
of
parking
spots
and
and
planning
boards
concerns
around
those,
and
so
I
would
like
to
know.
If
my
numbers
are
right,
was
it
150
or
160
parking
spots,
possibly
for
about
300
student
enrollment.
W
We
would
actually
be
really
permitted
to
build
around
250,
so
we're
well
below
the
threshold,
and
the
point
of
the
parking
lot
is
really
to
right
size
it
for
the
usage
right
now
and
we've
done
traffic
studies
on
this
as
well
to
allow
for
lower
Q
going
in
and
out
of
school,
better
traffic
flow,
and
it
was
really
important
to
us
to
maintain
the
partnership
for
this
Taco
shuttle,
which
will
not
be
interrupted
during
any
of
the
construction
process
that
we
have.
H
H
W
Parking
lot
is
pretty
jammed
if
you've
been
there
during
a
pickup
or
drop
off
in
in
parking
spots
or
a
premium.
H
And
I
get
that
it's
more
of
a
Regional
School
where
people
you
know,
kids
are
going
to
be
coming
from
places
like
Superior
and
Lafayette,
so
I
get
that
it
may
need
more
parking,
but
it
if
memory
serves
it,
it
doubled
the
amount
of
parking
at
a
time
when
we're
really
looking
to
encourage
people
not
to
drive
and
so
like
having
almost
one
a
school
with
about
one
parking
spot
for
student
seems
dismissing
the
mark
to
as
Matt
said,
build
something
for
70
years
from
now
when
we
know
we're
trying
to
move
the
other
way.
H
It
doesn't
sit
quite
well
with
me
so
and
and
I
don't
know
that
it
does
meet.
You
know,
sort
of
the
loftier
goals
that
we
have
as
a
city
a
county
and
as
a
as
a
school
system.
So
I
don't
know.
If
there's
value
in
calling
this
up,
I
guess
is
it
I,
don't
know?
If
that's
maybe
a
question
for
Shannon
like
what
will
happen
if
we
call
this
up,
given
that
we
don't
have
any
power
here.
U
H
B
X
Yeah
well,
while
we
can't
affect
your,
you
know,
require
changes
to
this
process.
I
do
think
that,
given
that
this
is
sort
of
the
only
chance
we
have
at
making
some
requests
and
understanding
it
in
detail,
if
they
were
willing
to
meet
with
our
boards
and
commissions,
I
think
I
would
prefer
that.
But
it's
not
I,
don't
hear
that
willingness,
and
so
for
that
reason,
and
because
you
know
schools
tend
to
have
a
pretty
you
know
this
is
going
to
be
something
that's
in
our
community
in
an
important
place
for
the
next
50
years.
X
At
least
I
would
like
to
have
a
motion
or
I
would
like
to
call
it
up.
H
If
that's
emotion,
I
would
like
to
Second
it
I'm
also
interested,
and
it
would
also
point
out
that
it's
just
at
a
very
kind
of
Prime
intersection
right
near
Chautauqua
and
I
understand
that
we
have
City
involvement
with
the
the
shuttle
and
stuff
so
yeah.
E
Going
to
support
the
motion
as
well
I'm
hearing
enough
concern
from
my
colleagues
I
realize
that
the
school
board
School
District,
doesn't
necessarily
need
to
listen
to
what
we
have
to
offer,
but
it
sounds
like
we
have
some
things
to
offer
and
I
hope
they
do.
Listen
and
I
think
this
is
for
the
reasons
that
Lawrence
did
it's
an
important
enough
project
that
I
think
we
should
weigh
in
it's
important
to
the
community.
It'll,
be
it's
a
building
that
will
be
here.
The
last
one
was
here
for
70
years.
E
The
next
one
may
be
here
for
70
years,
so,
let's
make
sure
to
get
it
right,
I'm
sure
the
The
Architects
and
the
other
designers
have
worked
diligently
on
this.
According
to
what
are
standards,
the
school
district
has
but
I
think
we'd
like
to
live
weigh
in
with
our
community
standards
as
well.
V
F
I'm
not
going
to
support
calling
this
up
just
because,
having
seen
how
the
district
has
gone
through
with
one
of
these
complete
School
rebuilds
in
the
past
and
the
amount
of
work
that
comes
from
the
folks
in
the
schools,
the
teachers,
the
students,
the
families
who
are
there.
I
am
comfortable
moving
forward.
Knowing
that
that
that
the
folks
within
the
community
who
are
going
to
be
using
this
building,
have
weighed
in.
B
I'm
calling
myself
here
if
I
made
so
I
I,
appreciate
the
comments
that
have
been
made.
I.
Think
given
where
the
design
is
in
the
process.
I,
don't
know
that
we
would
affect
much
by
calling
it
up
so
I'm
not
going
to
support
the
motion.
I
am
going
to
take
Chris.
If
you
don't
mind,
I'm
going
to
take
the
opportunity
to
offer
a
couple
specific
comments
and
if
we
end
up
calling
it
up,
I'll
say
them
again
then,
but
is.
W
B
So,
thank
you
thanks
for
that.
So
my
couple
specific
comments
are,
as
I
heard
your
point
about
the
how
why
you've
engineered
the
parking
lot,
the
way
you've
done.
It
does
still
seem
like
a
lot
of
parking
and
one
thing
that
I
feel
like
there's
a
little
low
on
is
the
bike
parking.
It
seems
like
there
could
be
the
opportunity
for
substantial
additional
parking,
but
my
my
biggest
comment
would
just
be
to
give
additional
circulation
opportunities
for
students
arriving
by
foot
and
by
bicycle.
B
It
does
seem
like
they're
a
little
bit
on
the
margins
of
the
of
the
driveway
right
now,
as
I
read
the
plans.
So
if
there's
perhaps
an
opportunity
to
include
some
dedicated
arrival
and
exit
points
for
cyclists
and
pedestrians,
I
think
that
could
be
really
valuable.
I
am
the
proud
parent
of
a
former
New
Vista
High
School
student
I
know
what
great
work
it
does
for
its
kids
and,
and
my
kid
did
take
the
bus
home
most
days
since
it
was
leaving
on
foot
a
lot
so
that
those
are
my
primary
comments.
W
I
have
an
opportunity
to
respond
to
that.
Yes,
please,
so
those
are
owner
furnished
and
those
are
really
at
this
point,
just
kind
of
spots
designated
where
we
can
put
those
aren't
solidified
right
now.
Okay-
and
we
are
looking
at
supplying
whatever
number
I
mean
we're
still
working
with
the
school
on
this,
where
we
want
to
put
these,
how
many
we
want
to
put
so
that
access
that
you
speak
of
and
the
number
again
we're,
not
at
100
we're
close.
We've
still
got
a
couple
weeks
to
go,
but
yeah.
AA
AB
Hey
Chris,
that's
I
can't
see
that
far,
but
because
we
might
never
talk
again,
I'm
just
going
to
say
one
comment:
I
might
as
well.
Well,
I
can,
since
who
knows
if
we'll
ever
meet,
and
that
is
I
was
thinking
about
Boulder
High
School,
the
kids
and
they
were
complaining
that
their
bikes
get
stolen,
a
fair
amount
after
school
and
I'm
wondering
if
you
would
consider,
because
we
would
love
to
get
kids
on
bikes
if
you
would
consider
safe
and
secure
ways
to
to
lock
up
your
bike.
AB
AB
Thank
you,
okay,
okay,
so
what
I
was
saying
is
is
for
New
Vista,
which,
by
the
way,
I
live
right
near
there
and
I
would
love
to
see
some
new
and
innovative
ways
for
the
kids
to
lock
up
their
bikes.
Now
that
we
have
the
opportunity
to
look
into
that
because
I
know
it's
a
concern
for
some
of
the
kids
and
it's
not
easy
for
them
to
keep
buying
new
bikes
if
their
bikes
get
sold
thanks.
B
V
B
Right
thanks!
Okay,
so
can
we
yes
Lauren.
X
In
case
my
motion
doesn't
pass,
I
would
like
to
make
a
couple
of
comments
about
what
I
would
like
to
see
on
the
design
side.
So,
as
several
people
mentioned,
the
parking
space
count
I
do
have
concerns
about
that
being
it
feels
High
to
me
the
connection
to
the
bike
path.
I
would
really
like
to
see
a
connection
that
goes
more
from
the
multi-use
path
to
the
school
itself.
That
seems
like
right
now.
The
connection
is
across
the
north
side
of
the
property
and
is
pretty
circuitous.
X
It
seems
like
it.
There
would
be
an
opportunity
to
make
that
connection
at
the
south
side
of
the
property
instead,
I
would
also
you
mentioned
that
the
building
is
sustainable,
but
there
are
things
like
a
you
know.
The
boilers
and
95
efficient
boiler,
which
is
nothing
special
in
today's
construction
standards
right,
that's
typical
or
below
the
bar
I,
would
strongly
encourage
to
look
at
geothermal
heating
and
cooling
or
and
also
structural
systems
that
would
provide
carbon
Storage
storage,
such
as
mass
Timber,
along
with
solar
panels
and
sod
replacement
where
possible.
B
AD
V
Z
Thanks
Aaron,
you
know
I
I,
it's
I
think
doesn't
surprising
because
we
have
an
exceptionally
full
docket
for
the
next
few
months
on
our
regular
business
meeting.
So
at
least
my
concern
is
calling
this
up
sure
I'm
interested
but
I
I,
don't
know
what
we
bump
and
how
we
squeeze
it
in.
We
are
literally
full
to
the
brim,
and
so
I
think
my
my
saying
yes
to
a
call-up
would
be
really
contingent
on.
Z
Are
we
able
to
start
really
converting
some
future
study
sessions
to
really
start
to
get
through
some
of
the
business
that
we've
committed
to
our
community
to
get
done
here
before
this?
This
particular
council's
time
is
up,
so
my
yes
is
kind
of
on
that.
Are
we
going
to
be
really
converting
study
sessions
to
make
room
for
this
conversation,
so
we're
not
doing
five
hour
Council
meetings
between
now
and
November.
H
I
would
just
say
that
I
don't
believe
this
Council
has
yet
scheduled
any
extra
meetings
like
we
used
to
have
some
some
would
be
met
on
Tuesdays
and
Thursday
meetings.
So
if
we
need
to
make
some
space
for
things
like
this
I
think
we
can
come
in
on
an
occasional
Tuesday.
T
I
would
say,
the
extra
meetings
are
something
that
happened
during
the
course
of
any
any
term.
We
would
certainly
try
to
accommodate
that
as
much
as
possible.
We
would
also
be
committed
to
looking
at
those
study
sessions
that
we
have
coming
up
and,
if
there's
something
that
we
can
do
by
way
of
an
IP,
we
are
happy
to
do
that
as
well
to
make
space
as
long
as
as
long
as
that's
understood
in
terms
of
what
the
priorities
are.
So
we
can
certainly
accommodate
that,
if
that
is
the
will
of
council.
B
With
that,
if
we
can
move
to
a
vote,
I
believe
it's
a
show
of
hands.
Yes,
okay,
all
in
favor
of
the
motion
on
the
table,
one
two,
three
four,
five,
six
right,
all
not
in
favor
right,
so
that
passes
six
to
two
so
Chris.
Thanks
for
your
attendance
here
tonight,
it
sounds
like
we
got
another
hearing
coming
up
before
too
long
and
we'll
be
working
with
you
all
at
bvsd
to
get
that
scheduled.
V
E
Of
like
to
know
not
tonight,
but
at
some
point
in
time
how
we
got
into
the
place,
we
are
tonight
because
we're
obviously
very
uncomfortable
about
the
place
that
that,
where
the
school
district
comes
in
at
virtually
100
design
and
we're
being
asked
whether
we
want
to
call
it
up
or
not
so
something
got
missed
there
either
the
school
district
waited
too
long
to
talk
to
our
staff.
First
half
way
did
you
want
to
talk
to
us,
but
but
a
ball
was
dropped
and
I'd
like
to
know
why.
T
I
appreciate
that
I'll
just
note
that
the
director
of
planning
and
development
services
is
on
a
well-deserved
vacation,
so.
R
T
Not
here,
but
I
will
certainly
Circle
back
with
staff
and
provide
you
with
that
information
in
terms
of
timing
and
provide
some
clarity
happy
to
do
so.
Thank.
C
Yes,
sir,
thank
you.
Our
public
hearings
are
item
five
on
tonight's
agenda.
5A
is
the
second
reading
and
consideration
of
a
motion
to
adopt
the
following
ordinances
that
would
amend
the
voter
revised
code
to
allow
e-biking
on
certain
open
space
Trails.
We
first
have
the
staff
recommended
ordinance,
which
is
ordinance
8575,
and
then
we
have
the
osbt
recommended
ordinance,
which
is
85.76.
V
T
Thank
you,
mayor
and
I.
First
of
all,
I
just
wanted
to
thank.
We
have
gotten
a
lot
of
email
on.
The
topic
is
an
important
topic
for
this
community
and
want
to
thank
everyone
for
the
time
and
the
thoughtfulness
for
the
information
for
the
perspective.
Shared
I
will
send
this
to
our
director
of
open
space
and
Mountain
parts
for
a
preliminary
framing
or
a
conversation
as
we
kick
it
off
great.
G
Thank
you
Nuria
good
evening,
Council
Dan
Burke,
director
of
open
space
and
Mountain
parks,
and
while
our
staff,
Casey,
French
and
Marnie
ratzel,
get
settled
in
they're,
going
to
be
taking
over
the
bulk
of
the
presentation
and
facilitating
some
discussion
with
Council
for
this
item,
but
with
that
I
just
want
to
provide
some
high
level
context.
Setting
and
first
I'd
like
to
just
point
out
that
you
know
as
land
managers
and
those
responsible
for
open
space
system.
G
We
are
very
cognizant
and
obviously
daily
aware
of
the
fact
that
our
system
is
very
Dynamic
and
there's
changes
that
are
happening
sometimes
they're
subtle
and
they
happen
over
time
on
our
out
on
our
system,
and
sometimes
these
changes
might
be
more
dramatic
and
and
and
happen
in
the
moment's
notice,
such
as
in
the
case
of
fire
and
flood.
But
it's
but
it's
the
dynamic
nature
of
our
open
space
system.
G
That's
that
really
demands
that
as
stewards
that
we
remain
Vigilant
and
really
able
to
adaptively
manage
those
changes
based
on
the
circumstances
that
we're
seeing
and
sometimes
these
changes
don't
necessarily
happen
on
our
system.
They
may
be
happening
externally,
but
yet
they
impact
our
our
management
decision
making.
G
It's
been
nearly
a
decade
since
we
last
visited
you
about
open
e-bike
use
on
open
space,
and
so
those
changes
that
have
happened
over
our
last
few
years
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
would
like
to
come
and
revisit
that
discussion
with
you
a
decade
later
about
e-bikes
on
open
space.
G
I
also
just
want
to
acknowledge
the
fact
that
the
staff's
recommendation
is
is
has
not
been
aligned
with
the
open
space
Board
of
Trustees
recommendation
and
I
want
to
point
that
out
and
acknowledge
that,
and
it's
the
first
time
in
my
five
years
of
10
years,
director
that
we,
the
board
and
the
staff
is
sort
of
quote,
unquote,
failed
to
come
together
in
a
unified
recommendation
to
council.
G
And
of
course,
we
always
strive
to
do
so
and
in
this
case,
that
that
was
not
the
outcome
and
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
it's
one
of
those
topics
that
open
space
system
sometimes
generates
where
there's
strong
opinions
within
Community
within
the
board
and
the
staff
and
even
the
board
themselves,
was
split
on
this
matter.
And
of
course,
we
heard
from
a
wide
variety
of
community
members
on
all
sides
of
the
fence
on
this
and
I.
Personally.
G
G
And
so
after
you
hear
from
staff,
we
will
have
an
opportunity
to
hear
from
board
members
as
well,
so
with
that
I,
Casey
and
Marnie
are
going
to
walk
us
through
a
presentation
that
has
that
as
staff,
we
really
feel
like
after
hearing
from
Community
after
hearing
from
all
five
of
our
trustees
after
hearing
from
our
staff,
that
I
feel
our
recommendation
strikes
are
reasonable
and
balanced
approach
to
this
matter.
So
with
that
I'm
going
to
turn
things
over
to
Marnie
ratzel.
AF
Tonight
tonight,
thank
you.
Can
you
hear
me
now?
Okay,
great
good
evening,
Council
I'm,
Marnie,
ratzel,
principal
planner
and
the
project
manager
for
this
effort
and
I'm
joined
tonight
by
Casey
French,
the
planning
and
design
senior
manager
for
osmp
who's
going
to
be
co-presenting
with
me
this
evening.
So,
as
you
know,
tonight's
agenda
item
is
to
consider
an
ordinance
to
allow
e-biking
on
open
space
trails
and
I
want
to
give
you
a
quick
overview
of
what's
on
deck
for
Council
to
make
an
informed
decision
on
this
item.
AF
First,
I'm
going
to
kick
it
off
with
giving
council
members
an
overview
of
the
background
and
the
planning
process
and
then
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Casey,
who
will
step
through
the
staff
recommendation
and
then
I'll
wrap
it
up
with
a
couple
of
the
management
Alternatives
that
we
considered
so
for
the
background.
AF
AF
The
local
ordinance
that's
been
in
place
has
continued
to
prohibit
e-bikes
on
open
space,
managed
trails
and
also
requires
disposal
of
open
space
land
to
another
city
department
or
a
partner
agency
to
allow
e-biking
in
2017
state
law,
amended
the
definition
and
regulation
of
e-bikes
to
no
longer
classify
them
as
a
motor
vehicle
and
also
allows
both
class
1
and
Class
2
e-bikes
on
multi-use
Trails,
unless
prohibited
by
a
local
ordinance,
because
Boulder
has
a
local
ordinance
that
was
adopted
in
2014.
The
state
law
didn't
impact
the
city's
open
space
Trails.
AF
Of
note
is
that
several
osmp
trails
are
interconnected
with
the
city's
Greenway
and
transportation
multi-use
paths,
as
well
as
Regional
Trails,
managed
and
maintained
by
Boulder,
County
Parks
and
open
space
who
allows
e-bikes
on
their
planes
trails
Additionally.
The
U.S
fish
and
wildlife
service
manages
Trails
on
Rocky
Flats
National
Wildlife
Refuge,
which
will
connect
Boulder
County's
trail
system
as
part
of
the
planned
Rocky
Mountain
Greenway
and
Colorado
Front
Range
trails.
AF
AF
AF
Having
identified
these,
we
next
identified
criteria
to
evaluate
and
develop
preliminary
ratings
for
each
management
alternative
and
the
status
quo
option.
The
Alternatives
were
rated
using
a
gradient
scale
from
most,
to
least
in
terms
of
meeting
the
criteria
assessed
that
you
see
here
on
the
slide,
and
this
helped
inform
a
preliminary
staff
proposal
of
alternative
B
staff
identified
alternative
b
as
the
preferred
alternative,
because
it
best
achieves
the
objectives.
AF
In
the
summer,
osmp
shared
the
management
Alternatives
and
the
preliminary
proposal
with
the
community
during
an
engagement
window,
We
Gather
Community
input
through
two
different
survey
instruments.
First,
we
had
an
online
engagement
questionnaire
that
was
posted
to
be
heard,
Boulder
and
it
received
over
2300
responses
which,
as
I
understand,
it
still
is
the
highest
response
rate.
The
city
has
received
on
a
public
engagement
survey
to
date.
AF
As
Dan
talked
about
in
his
introduction,
the
board
considered
the
staff
recommendation
over
the
winter
and
they
made
several
motions
that
resulted
in
a
split
vote
among
board
members.
The
motion
that
passed
did
not
support
the
staff
recommendation
as
presented.
Instead,
it
recommended
that
Council
make
a
finding
that
operation
of
an
e-bike
is
not
a
passive
recreational
use
on
open
space
land,
but
that
e-biking
would
be
allowed
on
open
space
Trails
only
to
connect
to
enable
connectivity
and
contiguity
where
a
multi-jurisdictional
Regional
Trail
requires
access
to
a
segment
of
open
osmp,
managed
Trail.
AF
AF
And
ultimately,
the
department
continues
to
support
a
recommendation
comprised
of
a
policy
change
to
allow
class
1
and
Class
2
e-bikes
as
a
passive
recreational
use
on
certain
open
space.
Trails
were
designated
by
the
department
and
to
implement
the
policy
by
designating
and
managing
Trails
outlined
in
alternative
B,
which
includes
planes,
trails
that
allow
biking
and
the
Boulder
Canyon
Trail.
AG
Bernie
so
first
I'm
going
to
speak
a
bit
to
how
the
staff
recommendation
is
organized.
So,
as
Marnie
said,
it's
organized
into
two
parts
and
the
first
part
is
the
policy
decision
of
allowing
e-biking
on
open
space.
I
mean
this
requires
Council
approval
and
it
has
recommended
ordinance
language
associated
with
it,
and
then
the
second
part
has
to
do
with
where
the
department
implements
the
policy.
AG
So
the
second
part
is
not
part
of
the
ordinance
language,
and
this
is
because
the
on-the-ground
management
actions
or
the
where
it
doesn't
require
Council
approval,
but
we
are
very
interested
in
seeking
counsel
input
to
the
department
on
that.
Another
reason
for
this
approach
is
that
guidance
on
policy
is
a
generally
more
static
in
nature,
while
the
on-the-ground
management
actions,
in
this
case
the
trail
is
designated
for
e-biking-
might
benefit
from
an
ability
to
more
easily
adaptively
manage
in
the
future.
AG
So
in
terms
of
how
to
make
these
policy
and
on
the
ground
management
changes,
I'm
going
to
go
step
by
step
through
the
staff
recommendation
or
the
process
on
the.
How?
And
there
are
four
steps
related
to
changing
the
policy
which
includes
the
legislative,
finding,
repealing
and
existing
repealing
the
existing
ordinance
and
then
amending
the
code
regulating
vehicles
and
analog
bikes
and
to
create
a
new
ordinance
and
I'll
go
through
each
of
these.
AG
So
to
I'd
like
to
start
to
explain
the
intention
of
the
legislative
finding
and
I'm
going
to
begin
with
some
background
on
the
charter,
so
Charter
One,
seven,
so
Charter,
section
176
states
that
open
space
land
shall
be
used
only
for
certain
purposes
and
one
of
those
purposes
is
passive.
Recreation
and
the
charter
does
not
mention
or
allow
for
any
exceptions
to
those
uses,
and
it
also
does
not
define
passive
Recreation.
AG
A
passive
Recreation
is
defined
in
the
council,
approved
osmp,
visitor
master
plan
or
VMP,
and
it
defines
it
as
non-motorized
activities
that
achieve
the
criteria.
That's
listed
here
on
this
slide
and
we
recognize
there
there's
debate
on
whether
e-biking
meets
the
non-motorized
component,
so
in
support
of
the
staff
finding
that
e-biking
meets
the
criteria
here.
That's
listed
on
the
slide
and
in
the
VMP
council
could
make
a
legislative
finding
that
e-biking
is
a
passive
recreational
activity.
AG
So
the
intention
of
the
legislative
finding
is
for
Council
to
specifically
find
that
e-biking
is
a
passive
recreational
use
of
open
space
and
that
aligns
with
our
policies.
The
benefit
of
this
approach
is
that
it
explicitly
draws
a
connection
between
allowing
e-biking
to
our
Charter
and
the
criteria
in
the
VMP.
AG
Moving
on
to
step
two,
which
is
the
recommendation
to
repeal
code
section
7525,
this
section
of
the
code
prohibits
e-bikes
and
requires
disposal
of
open
space,
and
it
must
be
either
repealed
or
amended
to
support
this
policy
change.
The
recommended
approach
is
to
repeal
and
replace
instead
of
amending
because,
as
indicated
by
the
seven,
the
current
code
is
located
in
Title
VII,
and
this
is
the
traffic
code
section
of
the
VRC
most
other
open
space
related
codes
and
regulations
are
in
title,
eight,
which
is
focused
on
Open
Space
Management.
AG
So
we
think
it
would
be
better
to
relocate
it
there
in
chapter
eight
steps.
Three
and
four
would
make
other
changes
to
title
eight
step
threes
to
amend
section
836
this.
This
section
currently
regulates
motor
vehicles
and
analog
bikes
on
open
space
lands
and
staff,
recommends
amending
it
to
include
regulation
of
e-bikes
and
then
step
four
is
to
add
the
new
ordinance
that
contains
the
actual
legislative
finding
to
allow
class
1
and
Class
2
e-bikes
on
certain
designated
trails
in
terms
of
the
implementation
process
to
designate
Trails
for
e-biking.
AG
This
is
a
function
already
designated
to
the
osmp
department
in
Charter,
section,
171,
A
and
B,
and,
as
we
previously
described,
staff's
preferred
alternative
is
the
plains.
Trail
and
Boulder
Canyon
Trail
and
in
terms
of
adaptively
managing
osmp
would
continue
the
long-standing
departmental
practice
of
seeking
input
on
major
Trail
decisions
in
the
future
and
now
I'm
going
to
turn
it
back
over
to
Marnie
and
she's
going
to
go
back,
go
over
some
other
Alternatives.
We
considered
and
then
wrap
it
up.
Thank.
AF
You
Casey
other
Alternatives,
the
open
space
Board
of
Trustees
recommended
approach
to
reflect
the
Motions
made
by
the
open
space
Board
of
Trustees
staff
prepared
and
alternative
ordinance,
that's
included
as
attachment
B.
With
your
memo,
we've
identified
some
conflicts
in
the
language
passed
in
the
osbt
motions
that,
and
these
are
currently
reflected
in
the
ordinance
of
8576..
These
would
need
to
be
resolved
if
council's
interested.
In
pursuing
the
osbt
approach,
we
have
described
what
those
conflicts
are
and
I'm
happy
to
walk
through
those
suggested
changes
to
ordinance
8576
that
would
resolve
these
conflicts.
AF
If
Council
would
like,
we
can
talk
about
those
during
q.
A
if
you'd,
like
in
terms
of
what
the
osbt
recommended
approach
might
look
like
on
the
ground.
This
map
represents
an
initial
estimate
of
which
open
space
Trails
might
be
included
with
the
implementation
of
the
recommended
approach
by
the
open
space
Board
of
Trustees.
It
would
allow
e-bikes
on
about
three
percent
of
osmp
trails.
AF
This
alternative
has
been
coined
alternative
b-plus
and
it
would
allow
e-bikes
on
about
25
percent
of
osmp's
Trail
Network,
while
alternative
b-plus
would
provide
more
access
than
the
staff
preferred
alternative.
It
requires
additional
messaging
to
support
osmp
operations
and
our
visitors
and
community
members
in
knowing
and
complying
with
regulations.
AF
We
also
want
to
acknowledge
that
there
could
be
increased
challenges
with
enforcement
with
this
approach,
but
in
terms
of
Trail
characteristics.
The
additional
Trails
identified
in
alternative
B
plus
are
similar
in
nature
to
the
plains.
Trails
included
in
alternative
B.
AF
So
to
wrap
up
in
support
of
the
staff
recommended
approach.
Osmp
requests
Council
make
a
motion
to
adopt
eight
five
ordinance
8575
to
allow
e-bikes
on
open
space,
as
outlined
in
this
slide,
and
also
in
your
memo
and
again
in
terms
of
operations,
the
staff
preferred
alternative
is
to
initially
implement
the
policy
to
allow
e-bikes
on
planes
trails
and
the
Boulder
Canyon
Trail
outlined
an
alternative
B.
AF
AA
AH
As
is
mentioned,
I
am
the
vice
chair
of
the
open
space
Board
of
Trustees
and
I
am
here
to
speak
on
the
minority
dissenting
position
of
the
osbt.
As
was
mentioned,
we
were
in
the
minority
in
February
2023,
not
sure
that
that
would
be
the
case
today.
Nonetheless,
I
would
like
to
speak
to
our
position.
I
am
privileged
enough
to
be
a
resident
of
Boulder
for
going
on
18
years
and
I
would
do
want
to
qualify
that
I
own.
AH
So,
first
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
staff
and
the
community
for
weighing
in
on
this
very
complex
topic.
Staff
has
been
working
on
this
for
years.
Saints
here
and
you
know
you
know
we
had
a
3-2
vote.
It
was
a
split
vote
and
you
know,
but
I
just
want
to
reiterate
the
fact
that
the
minority
position
really
supported
the
staff
recommendation
but
felt
that
it
didn't
go
quite
far
enough
in
meeting
a
city
of
Boulder's
goals.
AH
I
do
have
a
presentation,
I,
don't
know
where
that
is
I,
don't
know
if
I
was
supposed
to
pop
it
up
it's
okay,
but
there
is
a
map
that
and
I'm
terrible
at
Maps.
Dave
knows
this.
That
has
yeah
staff
recommendation
yeah.
Thank
you
on
the
second
slide.
Yeah
has
the
staff
recommendation
in
blue,
but
there's
a
plus
sign
on
the
ones
that
we're
calling
b-plus
at
this
point,
which
has
just
a
couple
of
additions.
AH
So
you
know
why
b-plus
you
know
clearly,
so
I
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
Thank
you.
Equity
Equity
demographics
in
this
community
are
changing
and
we
need
to
acknowledge
that
you
will
hear
people
debate.
You
know
the
definitions
of
an
aging
community
and
an
aged
community
and
how
people
have
different
viewpoints
on
that.
This
is
Boulder.
We're
always
going
to
disagree
on
certain
things
and
that's
healthy,
but
you
know
we
thought
that
b-plus
harmonizes
and
large.
AH
A
large
part
of
this
is
because
of
be
the
standard
alternative,
B
harmonizes
the
surrounding
land
managers
and
and
reduces
confusion,
because
I
think
people
want
to
do
the
right
thing
here,
but
are
not
clear
on
what
that
right
thing
is.
There
was
overwhelming
support
and
you'll
hear
debate
again
about
that
for
alternative
B,
but
we
think
I'm,
sorry,
alternative
a
which
allowed
for
e-bikes
on
all
of
the
trails
that
allow
bikes
in
general,
but
be
we
thought
that
b-plus
was
a
healthy
compromise
and
a
good
starting
point.
AH
It
also
allows
for
understanding
the
rules,
so
that
would
help
with
compliance
it
enjoys.
It
allows
the
ability
to
con
to
the
community
to
enjoy
open
space
safely
and
to
travel
to
and
from
our
Trail
heads
and
enjoy
our
Trails
safely
and
and
move
across
town.
So
the
addition
that
we
have
proposed
trying
to
keep
this
down
is
Chapman
Drive,
it's
a
wide
road
and
it
is
a
natural
extension
to
the
Boulder
Canyon
Trail.
AH
It
provides
a
safe
Loop
of
the
South
Boulder
Foothills,
sorry,
South,
Foothills
and
Wonderland
Lakes
Trails
provide
the
only
safe
north-south
biking
route
in
North.
Boulder
I
will
admit
that
I
have
accidentally
taken
that
on
my
my
cargo
bike
with
my
kids
trying
to
go
to
soccer.
This
is
well
before
I
was
on
open
space
Board
of
Trustees,
so
okay,
but
but
it
was
an
accident.
I
was
lost.
AH
That
happens
all
the
time,
but
the
last
thing
I
want
to
add
before
my
time
is
up,
is
that
we
thought
that
this
doesn't
go
far
enough.
We
would
like-
and
it
wasn't
part
of
the
official
motion,
but
we
did
have
it
in
our
minutes
that
we
would
like
to
see
a
pilot
of
single
track,
Trails
West
of
Broadway
and
and
that
was
similar
to
what
Jefferson
County
had
done.
Thank
you.
B
Thanks
so
much
Michelle
and
that
ticket
will
be
in
the
mail
shortly.
Okay,
all.
X
B
Great
Dave
you're
up.
AA
However,
it
Grieves
me
deeply
to
come
before
you
tonight
to
talk
about
the
open
space
Board
of
Trustees
recommendation
on
allowing
e-bikes
on
a
permitted
as
a
permitted
use
of
open
space
trails,
and
that
is
because
a
seemingly
routine
question
of
what
constitutes
an
appropriate
use
of
open
space
trails.
In
fact,
camouflages.
Some
fundamental
issues
and
concerns
first
and
foremost,
is
the
apparent
disregard
underlying
the
recommendation
to
allow
e-bike
use
on
open
space
Trails
of
more
than
50
years
of
precedent.
AA
Space,
Founders
and
framers
knew
exactly
what
they
were
doing
by
not
permitting
or
allowing
motorized
vehicle
use
of
open
space
under
the
rubric
of
passive
Recreation.
They
understood
that
Motors
in
natural
areas
would
completely
change
the
environment.
The
experience
and
the
perception,
the
being
in
a
special
place,
recommendations
contained
in
the
three
motions
of
majority
of
the
open
space
Board
of
Trustees
to
council,
proposed
a
phased
approach
to
assessing
the
impacts
on
the
open
space
system,
where
connections
with
multi-agency
managed
rails
and
City
paved
trails.
That
is,
for
example,
Greenways
to
promote
management.
AA
Finally,
the
essence
of
the
board's
majority
recommendation
to
council
is
this
discomfort
with
the
city
attorney's
office
opinion
that
the
charter
language
can
be
changed
or
Modified
by
a
quote
legislative
finding
or
by
legislative
Fiat
by
Council.
We
respectfully
disagree
with
this
interpretation
of
the
process
to
change
or
modify
the
city
Charter
and
in
our
motion
to
council,
recommend
a
process
that
is
in
keeping
with
the
intent
of
the
program's
Founders
and
years
of
precedent
and
Community
Support.
AA
We
understand
that
a
role
of
council
is
to
interpret
the
city
Charter,
but
when
that
interpretation
fundamentally
changes
the
intent
and
purpose
of
the
charter,
language,
that
final
Authority
must
be
the
community's
citizens.
We
believe
that
fundamental
changes
to
the
Charter,
for
example,
approving
Motors
on
open
space,
require
a
vote
of
the
people
circumventing
that
requirement
and
the
process
to
achieve
it
may
ref
result
in
future
unintended
and
potentially
Grievous
consequences.
B
AD
Thank
you
very
much.
I
just
have
a
few
questions
and
I
when
and
my
first
question
is
actually
for
the
members
of
the
board,
and
my
first
question
has
to
do:
does
B
plus
incorporate
be
at
a
lower
level
and
did
B
plus
had
any
type
of
community
engagement
and
then
my
third
question
is
I,
hear
and
maybe
I
misheard,
that
staff
mentioned
that
with
B
plus
there
would
be
some
issues
with
compliance
and
needing
of
additional
messaging.
AD
AH
All
the
different
options
we
did
here
now,
staff
laid
out
three
options:
a
b
and
c.
We
heard
additional
input
from
the
community
asking
for
additional
access
on
trails
in
which
that
they
access
the
north
of
town
and
in
completing
that
loop
on
Chapman,
Drive
I
think
you
can
find
those
in
the
compension.
How
do
you
say
that
word
of
comments,
and
it
is
an
addition
to
b-plus.
AD
N
AD
AF
AD
AD
Thank
you
for
that,
and
how
do
you
you
mentioned
the
compliance
Port
that
b
plus
somehow
actually
helps
with
compliance.
How
well.
AH
I
think
that
B
plus
sorry,
alternative
B
is
clear
in
comparing
it
to
the
osbt
recommendation,
because
it
is
includes
planes,
trails
and
Boulder.
Canyon
I
think
that
Wonderland
Lake
and
serves
an
important
Transportation
need
of
the
community
and
I.
Think
that
that
can
the
compliance
can
be
solved
by
appropriate
signage.
AH
AD
X
AF
Yeah
I
I
think
yeah.
AF
So
it's
really
hard
to
get
this,
so
the
Alternatives
that
the
department
came
up
with
through
our
core
team
of
subject
matter:
experts
at
the
department
first,
taking
a
look
at
all
all
Trails
allowed
bikes,
that's
a
in
in
determining
if
there
was
a
subset
having
a
geographic
boundary
really
can
help
with
our
messaging
as
well
as
help
with
our
community
member
to
understand.
The
Broadway
Corridor
from
north
to
south
has
historically
been
a
corridor.
AF
That's
been
identified
through
other
open
space,
Biking
For
example,
and
it
really
can
help
our
messaging,
and
this
came
both
from
our
Outreach
and
Education
team
members,
as
well
as
our
Rangers.
We
landed
on
a
geographic
boundary,
would
be
a
lot
easier
to
comply
with
and
for
people
to
understand
and
know.
X
Oh
and
I
have
a
follow-up
question
on
that,
so,
like
Michelle,
I
have
occasionally
ended
up
on
Trails,
where
I
was
not
supposed
to
be
partially
because
Google
will
map
you
through
them,
and
so
I
was
wondering
if
you
guys
have
done
any
Outreach
to
try
and
have
you
know
like
how
we
can
have
Tollway
notifications.
If
we
could
have
like
this
is
not
a
e-bike
friendly
route
or
something
like
that
when
with
Google
mapping,
we.
AG
Can
certainly
coordinate
that
and
look
into
that
with
our
RIS
staff.
Do
our
mapping
and
integrate
with
our
our
mapping
systems
I
know
that
they
do
kind
of
collaborate
on
on
some
of
that,
so
we
can
mention
that
to
them
and
see
if
we
can
enhance
that
and
make
it
more
clear
for
visitors.
Thank
you.
Yeah.
X
And
then
along
the
I
had
another
question
around
sort
of
motorized
things.
I
understand
that
the
regulation
we're
looking
at
is
specifically
around
Recreation,
but
I
know
that
in
some
areas
that
they
go
so
far
as
to
not
allow
like
motorized
maintenance
equipment,
do
we
allow
motorized
maintenance
equipment
in
our
open
space.
AG
Sure
so
well,
we
have
Motor
Vehicles
right
and
they
they
can
be
used
in
operations
for
operations
of
open
space
and
how
they
are
allowed
is
that
the
motor
vehicles
were
allowed
when
open
space
lands
were
managed
by
the
mountain
parks
department,
and
so
this
use
has
been
grandfathered
in
and
it
existed
prior
to
the
city.
Establishing
the
provisions
of
the
open
space,
Charter
and
BRC
836
does
have
the
vehicle
regulation
which
allows
Motor
Vehicles
just
for
operation.
AG
You
know
for
operational
needs
or,
for
you
know,
for
Trailhead
parking
and
so
there's
just
not
a
regulation
in
the
BRC
or
Charter.
That's
specifically,
you
know
states
that
motor
vehicles
are
not
allowed
right,
like
it's
silent,
doesn't
say
that
they're
not
prohibited
and
then
by
ordinance
we
regulate
them.
X
B
AB
I'm
curious,
I'm,
not
sure
I
read
the
packet
a
few
times,
but
I
could
have
missed.
It.
Tell
me
more
detail
about
what
happened
in
in
Jefferson
County.
A
lot
of
people
are
talking
about
Jefferson
County.
Can
you
be
more
detailed
as
to
their
findings,
especially
how
it
really
how
it's
the
most
relatable
relatable
to
our
parts
of
open
space.
AF
Open
space
in
Jefferson
County
both
allow
e-bikes
Jefferson
County
is
a
little
bit
different
and
I
think
that
that's
a
direct
response
from
the
Community
member
feedback
that
they
received.
They
allow
class
one
e-bikes
on
oh
crap,
I,
don't
have
it
in
front
of
me,
but
I
believe
they
allow
class
one
on
on
their
soft
surface
Trails
class,
two
on
their
hard
surface
Trails,
and
that
is
the
feedback
that
they
got
from
their
Community.
One
of
the
things
that
Jefferson
County
did
also
is
they
they
allowed.
AF
They
did
a
pilot
and
they
allowed
people
to
try
e-bikes.
They
interviewed
people.
Before
and
after
when
somebody
hadn't
ridden
an
e-bike,
they
were
a
little
bit
more
apprehensive
and,
after
riding
an
e-bike,
they
felt
more
comfortable
with
with
that
vehicle
and
and
that
activity
co-existing
with
them.
AG
I
can
add
a
little
bit
to
that
that
since
they've
added
e-bikes
to
their
system,
they
haven't
seen
they've,
reported
no
increase
in
concerns
or
conflicts
and
and
then
in
Boulder,
County,
Parks
and
open
space,
which
is
also
very
similar.
I
just
wanted
to
say
to
they
found
that
since
they've
implemented
that
the
speed
doesn't
really
differ
by
bike
types
and
so
I
just
thought.
Those
were
two
relevant
things
to
add
to
that
and.
AB
AF
AF
Well,
Colorado,
when
they
did
their
state
law
change,
identified
three
classifications
with
class,
three
being
the
one
that
can
go
faster
and
in
terms
of
allowing
them
it
would
be.
You
know,
education,
Outreach
enforcement
and
working
with
our
partners,
and
our
partners
would
include
those
that
sell
e-bikes
as
well
to
help
our
community
members
know
and
understand
one
one
good
tool
that
we've
used
throughout
this
engagement
process
is:
we've
worked
with
our
website
team
and
when
they
pull
up
the
trail
map.
AF
B
Couple
of
quick
questions
from
me
and
then
I'll
go
to
Matt
after
that,
so
so,
in
other
words,
so
just
to
repeat
the
so,
the
other
jurisdictions
didn't
see
an
increase
in
complaints
or
conflicts
after
allowing
e-bikes
did
how
about
an
increase
in
accidents
or
the
severity
of
accidents,
because
I've
heard
concerns
from
community
members
about
that.
AF
Actually,
they
haven't
really.
They
don't
really
have
much
in
the
way
of
accidents
occurring,
so
they're
not
seeing
increases
they're,
not
increasing
in
citations.
They
haven't
increased
in
any
medical
incidents
or
complaints.
In
fact,
those
that
use
e-bikes
have
what
we've
heard
from
our
Rangers
from
other
agencies
is.
People
are
thanking
them.
B
Good
and
we've
gotten
a
lot
of
community
emails
who's
who
that
have
been
upset
that
we
would
allow
bikes
for
the
first
time
on
the
South
Boulder
Creek
Trail
on
the
white
rocks
Trail,
but
I
think
they're
misinformed.
Those
currently
allow
non-e-bikes,
don't
they.
AF
That
that's
correct,
they
do
allow
the
South
Boulder,
Creek,
Trail
and
white
rocks.
Trail
are
both
multi-use
that
allow
bikes,
analog
bikes.
B
One
little
detail
on
the
Wonderland
Lake
area,
so
there's
a
loop
around
Wonderland,
Lake
and
I
would
say.
Maybe
three
quarters
of
it
is
open
space,
managed
and
then
there's
the
southern
quarter,
which
I
believe
is
on
Parks
land
and
there's
a
paved
multi-use
path
in
that
section.
So
as
a
Parks
paved
multi-use
path.
Would
that
currently
allow
e-bikes
in
that
section.
AG
That's
part
of
the
greenway
system
that
already
allows
allows
it
on
that
segment
or
if
we
would
need
to
coordinate
that
with
Parks
and
Rec.
To
finish
that
Loop,
you
know.
So
it's
not
doesn't
have
conflicting
regulations
right
on
on
the
part
of.
AG
AF
Can
you
look
that
up
if
it's
on
Parks
and
opens
or
if
it's
on
Parks
and
opens
I'm
sorry
open
space
in
Mountain,
Park
land,
then
no?
But
if
it's
on
Parks
and
Rec
land,
then
yes.
B
I
should
be
precise,
it's
Parks
and
Rec
land
actually
right.
It
would
be
okay,
very
good
and
then,
let's
see,
I
think
that
about
covers
it.
So
thank
you
for
all
of
you
and.
V
B
The
way
the
presentation
was
information
packed
and
also
pithy,
so
I
appreciated
that
thanks
all
right,
we'll
go
to
Matt.
AI
Z
Aaron
yeah
I
was
just
going
to
Echo
how
solid
that
presentation
was
and
I
appreciate
the
sort
of
long
Runway.
The
staff
has
done
to
sort
of
get
that
information.
V
Z
Nice
and
digestible
and
quite
complete
my
question
kind
of
piggybacks
a
little
bit
on
what
Aaron
was
just
asking
and
sort
of
as
staff
was
mentioning
that
we
haven't
seen
those
impacts
in
our
sister
cities.
I
know
there's
some
concerns
here,
but
evidence
would
maybe
dictate
that
those
concerns
may
not
actually
come
to
be.
Z
But
is
there
a
plan
and
or
commitment
by
staff
to
monitor
some
of
these
trails
and
therefore,
if
we
were
to
see
accidents
or
other
negative
impacts,
would
there
be
a
willingness
to
adjust
accordingly,
if
those
were
to
occur,
not
saying
the
work
given
that
other
communities
aren't
seeing
them,
but
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
there's
a
willingness
for
us
to
look
and
adapt
if
we
need
to.
AF
Absolutely
bikes
are
allowed.
We
have
a
holistic
approach
to
manage
for
e-bikes
we
currently
as
a
department.
We
do
a
lot
of
monitoring
and
that's
my
ring,
but
my
phone's
off
so
so.
AF
First
e-biking
would
be
added
as
a
new
activity
category
for
our
visitor
surveys
that
we
do
on
a
regular
basis
and
we
ask
the
activities
that
people
primary
activities,
and
so
we
would
include
e-biking
on
that
and
that
would
allow
us
to
quantify
and
detect
any
changes
in
activity
as
well
as
if
we
identify
any
issues
and
those
issues
could
could
come
up
through
some
of
the
feedback
we
get
through
those
visitor
surveys.
We
all
know
that
community
members
also
can
reach
us
individually
as
well
as
we
can
learn
from
our
Rangers.
AF
AI
B
Great
and
so
just
a
quick
follow-up
on
it,
so
visitor
surveys
that
could
that
could,
if
somebody,
for
example,
experienced
a
negative
interaction,
but
that
didn't
include
a
collision.
They
could
report
something
like.
AF
B
Well,
thank
for
all
those
excellent
answers
so
seeing
no
other
hands
raised.
Let's
go
ahead
to
our
public
hearing.
We
have
25
people
signed
up
to
speak.
Each
person
will
have
two
minutes
of
a
lot
of
time
unless
you're
pooling
time,
in
which
case
you
get
four
minutes
and
just
remind
everyone
about
our
rules
of
public
participation
just
to
please
abide
by
those
as
you're
speaking,
so
we've
got
about
50
50
in
person
and
virtual
start
with
our
in-person
folks.

AJ

AJ
I,
want
to
review
your
with
you.
The
decisions
by
the
open
space
Board
of
Trustees
since
that
time,
and
on
my
next
slide
and
on
the
other,
slides
you'll,
see,
quotes
directly
from
the
archive
minutes
of
the
open
space
board
in
2013
osbt
passed
on
a
4-1
vote,
a
motion
stating
that
the
use
of
e-bikes
on
open
space
paved
paths
is
not
appropriate
under
the
charter
and
recommended
that
staff
begin
investigating
a
possible
disposal
of
paved
multi-use
paths
on
osmp
land
that
principally
serve
a
transportation
function.
AJ
Next
slide,
a
year
later,
the
trustees
approved
on
a
three
to
two
vote:
the
disposal
of
12
small
non-contiguous
paved
Parcels
of
open
space
Trails,
which
primarily
serve
a
non-open
space
purpose,
giving
their
maintenance
to
Public
Works
Transportation.
An
example
is
the
cement
path
along
the
Broadway
in
front
of
nist.
Where
bikes
go
about.
Two
years
later,
staff
suggested
to
osbt
the
disposal
of
an
additional
20
osmp
paved
Trails,
but
after
extended
discussion,
the
trustees
rejected
this
proposal,
because
these
Trails
primarily
serve
open
space
Charter
purposes
their
Trails,
like
Bobolink.
AJ
Obviously,
by
2016
there
was
a
clear
distinction
made
with
the
board
clearly
concluding
that
one
e-bikes
on
osmp
pass
is
not
appropriate
under
the
charter
and
two.
If
osmp
Trails
primarily
serve
open
space
Charter
purposes,
they
should
be
held
and
continue
to
be
managed
by
osmp
that
those
trails
are
distinctively
different
from
the
Department
of
Transportation
trails
that
serve
a
transportation
function.
AJ
Trails,
like
these
I'm
sure
it's
clear
to
you
that
when
it
comes
to
e-bikes
on
the
city's
open
space
policies
under
the
charter,
they
have
those
policies
for
years
have
been
very
different
from
both
the
city,
transportation
and
mobility
department
and
the
Boulder
County
open
space
policies
in
many
areas
like
dog
regulations,
there
are
differences.
Thank
you.
AK
I'm
here
to
support
the
open
space
board
recommendation
affirming
council's
2005
decision
to
prevent
motorized
vehicles
on
open
space.
It
is
beyond
ingenuous
to
consider
electric
bicycles
as
passive
Recreation
I
urge
you
not
to
diminish
Boulder,
commit
commitment
to
a
most
treasured
asset
of
open
space,
the
opportunity
to
be
on
Trails
without
Motor
Vehicles,
I've,
hiked
and
biked
open
space
since
1991.
AK
open
space
has
been
such
a
benefit
to
me
as
a
boulder
resident
and
a
point
of
Pride
to
brag
about
a
hike
frequently
and
like
poking
along
to
bird,
enjoy
the
scenery
and
photograph
flowers
I'm,
not
reassured
that
I
can
enjoy
Trails
shared
with
vehicles
traveling
at
15
miles
per
hour.
My
top
speed
is
maybe
two
further
I'm
hard
of
hearing
and
oblivious
to
barkers.
Who
approach
me
from
the
rear
and
assume
I
hear
them
so
far.
AL
AL
AL
So
it's
a
distinctive
difference,
so
I
asked
the
city
council
to
recognize
that
nature
has
rights.
I've
heard
several
times
that
we
manage
the
city
parks.
Let
me
correct
that
we
are
part
of
the
city
parks.
We
are
part
of
nature,
let's
respect
that
and
please
do
not
extend
motorbikes
into
Natural
Parks.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
so
much.
Let's
see
now
we
have
Catherine
Smith
Richard,
Harris
and
Catherine
Harris.
AM
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
tonight
about
the
difference
between
going
to
and
going
through
and
to
me,
people
who
are
going
through
a
space
have
another
destination
in
mind,
and
those
are
people
who
are
seeing
the
open
space
as
a
way
to
transport
themselves
from
place
a
to
place.
B
that
is
very
different
from
a
recreational
user.
Y
Y
So
plan
Boulder
County
supports
the
open
space
trustees
recommendation
regarding
e-biking
on
open
space
Trails.
The
trustees
reiterate
the
decisions
of
previous
boards
happening
since
2013,
asserting
that
e-bikes
on
open
space
paths
are
not
appropriate
under
the
charter
and,
secondly,
they
amend
the
section
of
the
boulder
revised
code
on
motorized
motorized
vehicles
by
making
an
exception
to
allow
e-bikes
where
a
Regional
Trail
requires
access
to
a
segment
of
osmp
trail
to
enable
connectivity
well
still
meeting
osmp's
protections
and
visitor
management
goals.
Y
The
trustees
find
the
city
Charter
states
that
one
of
the
allowed
purposes
of
open
space
is
Preservation
of
land
for
Passive
recreational
use.
The
2005
Council
approved
visitor
master
plan
states
that
passive
Recreation
is
defined
as
non-motorized
activities
and
that
motorized
vehicles
are
not
considered
passive
Recreation.
Y
The
2019
master
plan
finds
hiking
as
the
most
popular
activity
on
the
city's
trails,
with
85
percent
of
adult
respondents
saying
so
this
and
I
point
out
that
the
staff's
recent
online
questionnaire
and
incept
intercept
surveys
did
not
reach
this
variety
of
open
space
visitors
and
thus
underestimated
the
views
of
hikers
open
space
staff
reported
in
22.
That
overwhelming
majorities
are
concerned
about
the
speed,
conflict,
overcrowding
and
increased
visitation
that
e-bikes
will
cause.
We
request
the
council
adopt
the
trustee's
views.
Y
AN
AN
V
AN
AN
AN
Contrast
this
with
the
simple
and
sensible
recommendations
of
our
open
space
Board
of
Trustees.
Our
open
space
board
recommends
one
exception
to
the
Charter
to
allow
e-bikes
to
connect
with
a
Regional
Trail
the
board
recommendations.
Whoops
I
I
urge
you
to
follow
the
recommendations
of
our
open
space
board.
Thank
you.
Thank.
AC
Hi
everybody
I'm
Dave,
Sutherland
I'm,
a
boulder
resident
for
nearly
25
years.
I
worked
for
the
open
space
and
Mountain
parks
department
in
education
and
Outreach,
and
in
that
time
I
took
literally
hundreds
of
groups
of
people
out
onto
the
open
space
system
for
educational
programs
of
all
ages
from
preschoolers
to
seniors.
AC
A
lot
of
people
have
already
talked
about
the
city,
Charter
and
I.
Just
want
to
say
chipping
away
at
the
charter
is
a
slippery
slope
and
I
urge
you
not
to
start
down
that
slope.
Once
you
make
exceptions
for
one
piece
of
motorized,
Recreational
Equipment,
you
might
find
that
you're
making
more
exceptions
and
where
does
it
stop,
but
really
what
I
wanted
to
talk
about
tonight
was
about
equity
and
that
I
think
e-bikes
are
actually,
despite
all
the
hype
not
dedicated
to
equity.
AC
The
reason
I
say
that
is
a
lot
of
people
use
open
space,
kids,
doing
nature,
study
people
on
horses,
people
with
dogs
on
leash
people,
with
dogs
off
leash
groups
of
people,
seniors
people
who
maybe
have
disabilities-
and,
let's
be
really
honest
here,
electronic
bikes
can
go
20
miles
an
hour
or
more.
How
are
you
going
to
keep
the
class
3
e-bikes
off
of
Open
Space
I
can
tell
you
as
somebody
who
works
in
education
and
Outreach
for
25
years.
AC
Education
and
Outreach
isn't
going
to
do
it
and
I
would
ask
you
to
think
about
how
effective
was
the
vision,
zero,
20,
mile
an
hour,
speed
limit,
I'm
sure,
there's
a
lot
of
education
and
Outreach,
whereas
the
enforcement
ain't
going
to
work
you're
going
to
have
you
know
people
going
all
kinds
of
speeds
out
there
and,
in
addition,
it's
pretty
easy
to
Jimmy
the
speed
limiter
on
an
e-bike.
If
you
do
a
simple
web
search,
you
get
a
whole
bunch
of
sites,
come
up
with
do-it-yourself
instructions
to
disable
the
speed
limits
on
an
e-bike.
AC
AO
For
the
last
35
years,
I've
made
my
living
as
a
scientist,
developing
sampling
plans
and
surveys,
and
things
like
that:
analyzing
the
data
and
then
using
that
data
to
make
decisions,
that's
basically
what
I've
done
for
years
and
I
want
to
make
and
I'm.
Also
a
former
open
space
trustee
I
want
to
make
two
points
tonight
to
urge
you
to
go
to
support
the
open
space
trustee
recommendations.
First
of
all,
first
point
is:
oh,
you
didn't
start
the
timer,
no.
AO
All
right
now,
I'm
starting
know
your
data
before
you
use
it
to
make
a
decision.
I
can't
I
do
this
on
a
daily
basis,
talking
with
agencies
with
corporations
with
understand
where
that
data
came
from
before
you
use
it
to
make
a
decision.
AO
The
unfortunate
news
is
that
a
lot
of
the
graphs
and
things
that
you
were
looking
at
from
the
online
survey
do
not
represent
what
the
boulder
general
population
thinks
about
this
and
I
think
you've
gotten
some
inklings
about
that
and
I
can't
go
into.
Why
and
everything
right
now
all
the
details,
but
it
doesn't
represent
the
general
population
in
Boulder.
There
is
no
way
that
it
does
because
of
a
number
of
reasons.
AO
The
good
news
is,
you
do
have
a
contracted,
statistically
significant
survey
that
was
done
along
with
the
master
plan
in
2019.
Only
four
years
ago,
less
than
four
years
ago,
that
show
demonstrated
that
85
percent
of
the
people
in
Boulder
prefer
hiking
and
walking
on
open
space.
AO
You
should
use
that
so
so
don't
don't
vote
for
e-bites
e-bikes
on
open
space,
thinking
that
you're
doing
something
that
the
general
population
wants,
because
you're
not
second
thing
on
white
rocks.
I
was
just
there,
I
go
there
like
every
month
and
since
it
opened
and
just
recently,
I
was
there-
and
this
point
was
just
made
but
I'll
just
say,
because
I
experienced
it
again.
Last
week,
middle
of
the
week
middle
of
the
day,
not
a
holiday,
not
a
weekend.

Hi,
my
name
is
Wendy
sweet
and
I'm.
The
executive
director
of
the
Boulder
Mountain
Bike
Alliance,
and
a
30-year
resident
of
Boulder
I'd
like
to
thank
osmp
staff
for
all
their
hard
work.
In
this
eve,
e-bike
evaluation
BMA
believes
that
e-bikes
are
compatible
with
passive
Recreation
and
we
are
very
much
in
favor
of
opening
Trail
connections
that
will
allow
for
more
people
to
safely
get
around
Boulder
out
of
their
cars.
Throughout
this
e-bike
evaluation
process.
We
have
asked
that
osmp
conduct
a
pilot
program
to
study
e-bikes
on
single
track
Trails.
AE
AE
There
have
been
several
public
comments
before
me,
suggesting
that
e-bike
usage
on
City,
open
space
will
displace
other
visitors,
will
lead
to
more
visitor
conflicts,
will
have
harmful
impacts
on
Wildlife,
will
negatively
impact
trails
and
other
speculations,
but
the
vast
majority
of
e-bike
pilot
programs
and
studies
to
date
do
not
show
these
concerns
to
be
valid,
including
the
e-bike
pilot
programs
by
Jeffco
and
Boulder
County,
while
staff
will
not
be
going
forward
with
a
pilot
program.
Bma
strongly
suggests
that
the
city
move
forward
with
this
process
using
adaptive
management
practices
with
measurable
data.
AE
What
will
success?
Look
like
what
will
failure?
Look
like
what
metrics
will
you
use
to
determine
this?
If
there
are
issues
that
need
to
be
mitigated?
What
will
those
mitigation
processes?
Look
like
emotional
feelings
by
a
few
people
against
people
riding
bicycles
should
not
be
a
factor
in
allowing
this
use
on
our
open
space
lands.
Not
wanting
to
share
open
space
with
different
types
of
visitors
or
having
one's
experience.
Change
from
a
past
level
is
not
a
data
metric.

I'm,
81.,
I,
still
ride
mountain
bikes,
I've
been
riding
mountain
bikes
since
mountain
bikes,
first
existed
and
I
support
the
open
space
Board
of
Trustees
recommendation.
However,
I
would
further
limit
it
to
say
no
single
tracks,
no
electron,
no
electric
bikes
on
single
tracks,
and
so
I
mean
hit
a
few
points
here.
First,
the
legal
issues
around
this:
the
approach,
that's
recommended
by
staff,
won't
stand
up
and
I
suspect
you
guys
will
end
up
in
court
the
areas
that
are
necessary
for
transportation.
AP
Most
of
them
aren't
I
ride
a
regular
bike
too,
and
you
can
get
around
fine.
You
don't
need
to
use
any
of
those
trails.
Nobody
seems
to
be
talking
about
the
effects
on
wildlife
and
animals
and
plants
if
you've
ever
ridden
on
a
single
track
on
the
weekends
here
in
Boulder.
You
know
that
bikes
are
going
off
the
trail
all
the
time,
because
there's
too
many
of
them
already,
and
these
are
human-powered
bikes,
you
imagine
what
would
happen
when
you
put
a
bunch
of
e-bikes
out
there.

With
regard
to
this
notion,

people
are
going
to
start
putting
sticks
through
people's
spokes
over
something
like
that
and
compliance
there's
no
enforcement.
Now,
so
you
know
it's
going
to
get
better
who's
going
to
pay
for
that,
and
how
are
you
going
to
do
it?

The
mountain
bike
allows
to
access
our
open
space
for
their
sport,
like
the
majority
of
people
who
visit
open
space
three
foot
and
enjoy
seeing
Wildlife
I
express
concern
than
about
the
effect
of
high-speed
bikes
on
wildlife
and
humans
alike.
Wildlife
already
was
suffering
from
an
onslaught
of
dogs
that
were
under
neither
boys
nor
site
control.
AQ
Now
Council
would
introduce
this
new
use
to
our
overburdened
open
space
lands.
E-Bikes
are
twice
as
heavy
as
regular
bikes.
Newton's
Second
Law
tells
us
that
poorest
people's
mass
times
velocity
so
do
the
math
combine
that
with
possibly
less
experienced
riders
or
writers
new
to
our
Trails,
we
are
a
tourist
destination.
Not
only
will
this
present
an
unnecessary
danger
to
others,
but
will
displace
pedestrian
users,
it's
a
slippery
slope
what's
to
stop
a
future
Council
from
making
another
legislative
fighting
to
impose
their
favorite
sport
on
our
precious
open
space.

you

so
we'll
move
on
then
to
Lynn

Q
Well,
I
thought
that
Boulder
was
an
athletic
community.
I,
don't
get
it
I,
don't
get
it.
Health
means
lugging
Along
on
your
bike
with
human
energy,
no
I
ride
my
bike
all
over
the
place.
I
don't
take
it
up
in
the
mountains
in
the
mountains,
I
walk,
I
hike,
I,
don't
this
is
an
athletic
community
and
they're
capitulating
to
electric
bikes.
Q
Q
Q
You
know
more
exercise.
Doing
that
I
I
mean
I,
can't
say
anything
else.
I
agree,
of
course,
with
Steve
pomerance.
Everything
he
says
is
like
gold,
but
this
is
so
clear.
So
obvious.
AR
My
name
is
Larry,
McDonald
I
have
lived
in
Boulder
I
have
for
a
long
time.
Thank
you
it's
by
this
time.
Of
course,
you've
heard
everything
that
I
wanted
to
say
has
been
said.
So
you
know
I'm
just
going
to
try
to
try
to
do
my
thing,
but
what
I
want
to
say
is
you
have
a
threshold
question
that
I
don't
think
you're
really
acknowledging
which
is?
Do
you
have
the
authority
to
do
what
you
are
proposing
to
do?
AR
I
mean
you've
heard
from
many
of
us
that,
in
our
view,
we
just
don't
believe
that
the
idea
of
motorized
biking
on
open
space
is
passive
Recreation
and
despite
what
the
staff
has
told
you
in
its
packet,
the
the
charter
does
Define
passive
Recreation.
It
does
it
on
the
basis
of
examples.
It
says
hiking,
photography
or
nature
studies.
AR
Those
are
pretty
obviously
passive
kind
of
activities.
It
then
adds
the
possibility
of
a
more
active
recreational
activity,
such
as
biking
by
special,
designation
and
I.
Think
that
reflected
the
feeling
of
those
who
drafted
the
charter
that
they
were
uncertain
about
whether
the
those
kind
of
activities
really
were
suitable
for
open
space.
AR
Now
we
have,
of
course,
allowed
those-
and
you
know
we
kind
of
tried
to
work
with
that
I
think
the
directors
of
the
charter,
terrific
I'm,
hoping
Ruth
will
be
able
to
join
us
tonight,
set
out
a
very
clear
vision
of
the
management
of
open
space
lands
for
their
preservation
and
enjoyment.
I,
just
don't
see
any
way
that
that
Vision
included
recreational
uses
of
motorized
vehicles
of
any
kind
as
a
form
of
recreation.
AR
M
Okay,
Ruth
is
coming
shortly
here.
AS
Is
it
important
to
note
that
over
the
last
he
has
developed
a
system
of
about
300
miles
of
bikeways
for
bikes
and
e-bikes
since
1967,
when
Boulder
passed
the
first
sales
tax
to
purchase
of
open
space
lands,
the
city
has
been
acquiring
lands
to
build
our
open
space
and
Mountain
Park
system.
In
addition,
as
we
envisioned,
we
now
have
almost
47
000
acres
of
land
at
150
miles
of
trails.
AS
In
1986,
77
percent
of
the
voters
passed
a
charter
amendment
to
provide
permanent
protection
for
open
space.
Section
176
says
quote:
open
space
land
shall
be
acquired,
maintained,
preserved
retained
and
used
only
for
the
eight
purposes
listed,
which
include
preservation
of
land
for
Passive
Recreation
I
have
been
asked
what
we
mean
or
meant
by
passive
Recreation.
AS
Instead
of
looking
for
and
observing
Wildlife,
they
would
be
on
the
watch
for
speeding,
e-bikes
I
strongly
hope.
I
strongly
urge
to
accept
you
to
accept
the
recommendations
of
the
open
space
Board
of
Trustees.
They
acknowledge
that
we
all
need
to
abide
by
the
wise
words
placed
in
the
charter
years
ago.
AM
AT
Hi,
my
name
is
Dana
bovey
and
I've
lived
in
Boulder
since
1974
and
I've
always
cherished
our
open
space
lands
and
it's
a
thrilled
to
follow
up
after
Ruth.
Actually,
our
nonprofit
group
studies
Raptors
on
lands
that
include
Boulder
open
space.
We
often
study
Eagles
along
the
white
rocks
nature
trail
to
consolidate
time,
I'll
state
that
myself
and
our
501c
volunteers
and
members
strongly
support
are
strongly
are
strongly
opposed
to
staff
and
osmp's
alternative
B
recommendations.
AT
E-Bikes
should
not
be
allowed
in
open
space,
Trails
I
believe
there's
only
four
designated
nature
trails
in
Boulder
and
the
white
rocks.
Trail
is
one
of
these
four.
My
experience
with
e-bikes
when
I'm,
observing
and
studying
Raptors
on
County
Trails
has
been
harrowing
and
honestly
really
upsetting,
sometimes
on
Trails,
like
white
rocks
and
focus
on
birds
and
I'm,
often
startled
by
e-bikes,
as
not
in
white
rocks,
but
on
County
Trails
startled
by
e-bikes,
as
they
whiz
by
quietly
fast
and
without
warning.
AT
I
have
real
fears
about
a
run-in
and
a
trip
to
the
hospital
by
a
collision
by
one
of
these
heavy
and
fast-moving
bikes
in
no
way
do
e-bikes
conform
to
the
city's
Charter.
That
requires
trails
to
be
used
by
non-motorized
vehicles
for
quiet,
recreational
use
and
nature.
Studying
observation,
e-bikes
they're,
a
great
asset,
I'm
glad
they
provide
access
for
so
many
along
the
300
miles
of
bikeways
in
the
city
of
Boulder,
but
nature
trails
like
white
rocks
and
the
South
Boulder
Creek
Trail
should
allow
plenty
of
space
for
safe
and
peaceful
nature.
AT
Observation
study,
as
I
said,
a
collision
without
these
massive
bikes
at
20
miles
per
hour
is
not
a
peaceful
or
safe
experience.
Please
vote
no
on
alternative
B
and
tonight.
I
didn't
hear
any
survey
results
on
document
on
visitors
that
had
negative
experience.
Experiences
with
e-bikes
I
feel
like
that.
B
AU
Hi
I've
been
in
Boulder
for
50
years,
biking
to
work
and
biking
to
see
you
I
was
chair
of
the
Sierra
Club
group,
Indian
beats
group
and
the
Colorado
chapter
when
we
were
trying
to
get
support
for
this
for
open
space
taxes,
I
wore
a
bear
costume
at
Broadway
waving
signs
to
try
and
get
people
to
vote
for
open
space.
I
walked
bike,
birdwatch,
look
at
wildflowers,
go
with
friends
via
bike
and
on
foot
at
South,
Boulder
Creek
in
white
rocks
I
support
the
Board
of
Trustees
recommendation.
AU
We
should
not
weaken
City,
Charters
Sutherland
knows
way
more
about
what
people
want
than
the
Boulder
Mountain
Bike
Alliance
does
open
spaces
for
wildlife
and
people.
There's
a
history
of
the
destruction
of
wetlands
by
motorized
vehicles,
open
space
and
I
was
surprised
like
tonight.
There
was
a
motorized
gasoline
engine
on
the
Bear
Creek
path.
AU
I'm,
often
surprised
as
I
commute
on
that
path
and
on
Boulder
Creek
path.
Electric
bikes
come
up
behind
me,
they're
quiet
they
do
it
at
underpasses
and
curves
and
they're
going
uphill
fast,
often
they're,
inexperienced
and
Reckless.
There
was
a
commercial
electric
bike
tour
on
Bear
Creek.
One
day
going
fast
in
a
bad
accident
at
occurred
before
an
underpass
with
blood
all
over
the
bike
path.
AU
People
don't
follow
the
laws
just
a
week
and
a
half
ago
in
the
evening,
I
was
bit
on
the
sanitized
Trail
by
someone
who
was
exercising
their
bike
at
her
dog
at
night,
and
she
likes
to
do
that
completely
off
leash
off
voice
control
just
ran
up
and
bit
me
so
I
don't
want
electric.
You
know:
I
go
bird
watching
I
like
to
listen
to
frogs
and
owls.
AU
AU
B
AV
Good
evening
so
I'm
Laura
Thompson
I
own
a
home
in
the
cottages
at
Wonderland
Lake
on
most
days
and
often
multiple
times
a
day.
I
walk
my
dog
on
the
trail
around
the
lake
daily
hundreds
of
people
walk
and
run
in
this
area.
People
come
to
observe
and
photograph
the
many
species
of
birds
that
spend
time
here.
Some
people
come
to
fish,
some
come
to
do
yoga
or
to
meditate.
In
the
spring
and
summer,
I
can
hear
birds
singing
crickets,
chirping
I
see
baby
bunnies
running
around,
while
deer
Gather
in
the
fields.
AV
Truly,
this
is
a
magical
place,
unlike
many
places
I've
ever
been
in
the
world.
In
the
past
months,
I've
observed
an
increase
in
the
number
of
people
flying
through
on
electric
bikes,
twice,
not
once,
but
twice
I've
almost
been
hit.
Most
recently,
it
was
at
dusk
by
a
group
of
teens
on
electric
bikes
buzzing
through
at
full
speed
that
same
night
there
were
other
teens
repeatedly
doing
donuts,
with
their
electric
scooters
on
the
dirt
stirring
up
dust,
while
disrupting
the
calm.
Several
of
my
neighbors
have
shared
that
they
too
have
been
close
to
being
hit.
AV
There
are
some
bends
with
lower
visibility
on
the
trail
that
surrounds
the
lake
and
I
believe
that
motorized
bikes
and
scooters
on
this
Trail,
particularly
at
higher
speeds,
are
dangerous.
Please
understand
that
I
am
not
anti-electric
bikes,
I
am
adamantly
against
electric
vehicles,
including
bikes
and
scooters,
on
the
trails
at
Wonderland
Lake.
They
simply
do
not
align
with
this
space,
a
space
that
is
quiet,
it's
peaceful,
it's
contemplative,
a
space
used
by
people
of
all
ages
and
a
space
that
is
a
natural
habitat.
AV
B
AW
My
name
is
Linda
Andy's
George,
8417
Stirrup
Lane
in
Longmont.
This
will
take
me
just
over
two
minutes.
So,
hang
on
to
the
handlebars
I'd
like
to
begin
with
a
few
personal
Bona
fides
for
context
after
our
family
moved
here
in
the
early
90s
I
quickly
joined
three
City
organizations,
bcna
the
city
trails
committee
and
Boulder
bike
commuters.
AW
I
became
dedicated
to
doing
most
of
my
city
commuting,
including
grocery
shopping
on
my
little
Fisher
trail
bike
in
96
when
I
joined
the
open
space
board,
I
commuted
from
55th
Street
to
attend
our
Wednesday
night
meetings.
So
I
do
understand
the
pleasure
of
bikes,
as
well
as
the
environmental
urge
to
get
more
people
on
them.
AW
But,
setting
aside
all
the
atrocious
impacts
that
motorized
biking
could
wreak
on
our
net,
our
native
botany
and
fauna,
important
as
that
is,
and
to
the
Charter,
unless
we
have
a
referendum,
I'll
confine
myself
to
addressing
the
very
mistaken
supposition
that
this
will
get
folks
out
of
their
cars.
Here
is
what
I
know.
When
we
lived
in
town
near
Baseline
of
55th,
our
community
had
50
houses.
Despite
the
fact
that
there
was
little
traffic,
then
nobody
but
me
ever
biked
to
work
or
to
trailheads.
AW
Now
we
live
in
a
county
neighborhood
of
50
houses,
many
many
residents
work
or
shop
in
Boulder,
but
there
are
only
three
of
us
who
bike
and
I
can
say
with
confidence.
Not
a
single
resident.
Besides,
myself
will
ever
consider
commuting
12
to
15
miles,
to
go
to
work
or
to
recreate
on
city
trails,
who
would
have
add
a
half
hour
to
a
morning
commute
to
do
this,
as
for
e-biking
in
the
wind
rain
or
cold
nope,
not
going
to
happen.
AW
This
week,
my
son
and
I
took
a
sunny
stroll
around
Wonderland
Lake
among
the
many
Walkers
and
dog
walkers
were
four
bikers.
They
passed
us
in
a
blur
of
speed
excessive,
given
the
crowds
and
not
one
uttered
on
your
left
or
rang,
a
bell
faster
e-bikes
will
be
a
recipe
for
badly
injuring
someone,
a
deaf
person,
a
small
child.
The
loose
dog
lawsuits
will
ensue.
AX
AX
We
have
to
go
off
the
side
of
the
road
and
I'm
concerned
that,
if
you
allow
e-bikes
that
us
hikers
are
not
going
to
enjoy
it
anymore,
one
the
what
everybody
has
said
about
having
wildlife
and
if,
if
the
hikers
have
to
go
off
the
trail,
we're
hurting
the
flowers
I
think,
there's
no
point
in
having
e-bikes
on
trail
on
on
Mountain
Spokes,
open,
Trip,
open
space,
Trails
keep
them
on
the
pavement,
it's
good
to
get
to
places
or
to
do
exercise
on
pavement,
not
on
the
open
space
that
I've
noticed
in
the
past
that,
where
bikes
go,
and
especially
if
they
go,
if
it's
rainy
that
there's
ruts
in
the
road
e-bikes
are
much
heavier
and
there's
no
reason
to
have
e-bikes.
AX
AX
There
are
trails
that
I
don't
use
anymore
because
there's
too
many
bites
on
them
and
I
don't
enjoy
being
almost
you
know,
they
don't
give
you
any
warning
that
they're
suddenly
right
upon
you
today,
I
went
hiking
on
the
goswalk
Trail
up
by
the
the
Yoga
Retreat
Center
there,
and
there
were
11
of
us.
We
had
one
woman
who
was
over
90.
AX
AY
AY
AY
The
charter
was
made
law
directly
by
a
vote
of
the
citizens,
not
by
any
city
council,
let
alone
this
one.
You
cannot
interpret,
amend
or
ignore
the
Charter's
terms
or
make
any
suppose
legislative
finding
about
its
meaning,
any
more
than
you
could
with
respect
to
a
state
statute
or
a
Denver
city
ordinance
or
provision
the
U.S
Constitution.
They
would
simply
be
meaningless
when
the
citizens
of
Boulder
passed
the
open
space
Charter.
They
did
not
give
the
city
council
authority
over
open
space
lands.
AY
They
created
the
open
space
Board
of
Trustees
to
manage
and
protect
open
space.
They
knew
that
a
political
body
like
yourself
would
be
forever
tempted
to
fudge
on
The
Limited
uses
allowed
for
open
space
lands
in
the
charter
to
advance
other
political
priorities
and
goals,
just
like
you
are
being
tempted
to
do
now,
but
only
the
open
space
Board
of
Trustees
has
a
legal
authority
to
decide
how
open
space
lands
and
trails
can
be
used.
AY
AY
Only
they
can
decide
when
if
and
how
e-bikes
can
be
used
in
open
space
trails.
You
have
no
choice
but
to
follow
the
decision
on
this
matter
made
by
the
Open
Space
Border
trustees.
You
should
not
try
to
override
their
decision
by
an
illegal
and
absorb
absurd
legislative.
Finding
that
the
word
passive
doesn't
actually
mean.
Well,
we
all
know
it
means,
and
the
staff
and
the
city
attorney's
office
should
be
ashamed
for.

A
gymnoff
city
resident
having
been
on
the
Parks
Board
Water
Board
and
open
space
board
I've
seen
a
lot
of
issues
like
the
e-bike
question
tonight.
With
this
background,
I'd
like
to
support
the
current
open
space
board
presentation
recommendation,
as
presented
by
Dave
Koontz,
possibly
with
an
exception
exception
for
exceptions.
Provision,
in
other
words,
keep
open
the
ability
to
make
rare
exceptions
to
a
general
policy,
but
only
with
a
carefully
considered
process
for
exceptions
that
make
sense
most
important
support
the
osbt
plan,
as
favored
by
so
many
people
tonight.
For
so
many
reasons,
thanks

We
see
e-bikes
go
by
every
day
at
20
miles
an
hour
when
I
hike
on
the
open
space,
I
hike
at
three
miles
an
hour
when
I
bird
on
an
open
space,
I
bird
at
about
one
mile
an
hour
so
having
people
course
by
me
at
20
miles
an
hour
is
really
very
disruptive
and
it
is.
It
cannot
be
entertained
as
a
passive
use
of
the
open
space.
I
really
encourage
people
to
adopt
the
osbt
recommendation
for
open
space,
and
thank
you
very
much
for
taking
time
for
hearing
me.

Thank
you

with
that
that
brings

period
to

I
want
to
thank
all
the
speakers.

had
a

members
a

former
open
space
board
of
trustee
members.
Thanks
for
your
continued
involvement
in
the
community,
as
well
as
everybody
else
who
spoke
so
now
bring
us
back
just
to
see.
If
anybody
has
any
follow-up
questions
for
anyone
based
on
the
public
testimony
and
then
we'll
go
to
discussions,
Nicole.
F
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
do
just
have
a
few
questions.
One
of
the
things
that
I'm
wondering
about
after
hearing
folks
speak
tonight.
Is
there
anything
in
the
education
that
we
do
or
in
thinking
about
how
we
do
education
for
people
who
are
riding
bikes
around
helping
them
understand
appropriate
behavior.
They
can
also
help
them
understand
that
our
comfort
levels
in
terms
of
what
we
can
tolerate
when
we're
on
the
paths,
may
be
a
little
bit
different
depending
on
where
we
are
in
our
lives
and
our
abilities.
F
So
I
was
just
wondering
if
there's
anything
in
the
education
that
sort
of
speaks
to
that
that
you
know
I
think
we
often
have
the
impression
that
everybody
feels
the
same
way
we
do,
and
so
you
know,
if
we're
comfortable
with
a
15
or
20
mile
an
hour
bike
going
past
us,
everybody
will,
but
that's
not
true,
and
so
I'm
wondering
you
know
how
how
we
address
that
in
our
education.
If
we
do.
AF
AF
We
do
lots
of
one-on-one
conversations
and
absolutely
those
are
some
messages
that
we
can
I,
don't
know
if
they're
doing
it
today
and
that's
where
I'm
going
to
turn
to
Casey,
but
if
it's
not
being
done
today,
it's
certainly
something
that
we
can
be
adding
to
our
system
and
to
our
programs.
AG
And
recently
we
have
been
researching
how
to
more,
effectively
communicate
and
how
community
and
visitors
can
communicate
effectively
with
each
other
on
their
trails,
and
so
that
is
something
we've
been
looking
at.
The
yield
sign
the
effectiveness
of
that.
How
do
we
evolve
that
sign,
and
so
we
are
looking
at.
You
know,
updating
our
signs
looking
at
more
effective
messaging,
so
that
we
understand,
as
Trail
users
how
to
be
courteous
to
each
other.
AG
F
You
yep
another
question
that
I
had
is:
do
we
know
if
visitors
are,
do
they
bring
e-bikes
with
the
same
sort
of
regularity
as
folks
who
are
kind
of
biking
to
Trails
and
in
the
first
place,
I
just
I'm
thinking
about
even
trying
to
load
up
my
non-e-bike
onto
my
car?
That's
that's
a
lot
and
you
know
thinking
about
the
extra
weight
of
the
e-bike
that
that
feels
really
hard
to
me.
Just
trying
to
imagine
it.
I
don't
have
any
bike.
F
I'm,
sorry,
it's
getting
late
and
I'm
getting
rambly
the
the
question
is
just
around:
do
we
have
a
sense
of
how
many
visitors
to
Boulder
who
don't
live
here?
Who
may
not
be
exposed
to
the
education
like
Community
conversations
we're
having
how
many
of
them
are
bringing
e-bikes
in
that?
That
may
just
not
know
or
not
be
receiving
some
of
the
education
that
everybody
else
gets.
AF
AF
So
I
I
think
that
it's
not
just
our
Boulder
residents
and
our
regular
students
and
those
familiar
the
other
piece
about
a
lot
of
e-bikers
or
the
folks
that
responded
to
the
online
engagement,
which
were
there
were
more
e-bikers
than
non-need
bikers
I
think
indicated
that
they
would
ride
to
the
trail
in
addition
to
riding
on
the
trail.
So
the
likelihood
of
of
those
using
bikes
or
e-bikes
is
that
they
choose
to
get
to
the
trail
other
than
driving.
AG
V
AG
F
F
AF
And
the
best
resource
in
terms
of
peer
agencies
would
be
Boulder,
County,
Parks
and
open
space.
I
don't
know,
I
would
have
to
get
back
to
you
about
residence
versus
non-residents,
but
they
are
beginning
to
track
e-bike
use
on
their
system.
Okay,.
F
Thank
you,
I'm,
sorry
for
the
convoluted
question
trying
to
think
about
education,
and
then
you
know,
I
was
really
interested
in
what
some
of
the
folks
were
talking
about.
Around
data
are
there
data
that
we
will
track
on
some
of
the
positive
outcomes
that
we
are
expecting
to
see
like
increased
accessibility,
reduce
vehicle
miles
traveled
and
then
are
there
any
data
that
we're
planning
on
tracking
about
potential
negative
impacts.
AF
Yeah
and
some
of
those
the
conflicts
that
we
currently
ask
in
our
visitor
surveys,
did
you
experience
an
interaction?
Was
there
a
conflict?
Who
was
that
with?
Where
was
that?
So
we
are
already
tracking
that,
and
so
we
do
have
some
baseline
data
and
we'll
be
adding
the
e-bike.
If
we
allow
e-bikes
to
be
able
to
understand
that
more
clearly
as
well.
AB
AG
I
think,
in
terms
of
trail
design,
those
trails
are
very
similar
to
the
other
trails
that
we
are
recommending
e-bikes
on
in
terms
of
their
very
similar
in
characteristics
to
the
other
Trails
east
of
Broadway.
They
are
more
similar
than
some
of
the
other
Trails
like
down
in
the
south
of
our
system
like
Springbrook
Loop
in
that
area,
so
they
are
consistently
characterized.
Our
you
know
are
why
we
didn't
initially
include
them
was
because
of
our
you
know:
Geographic
Geographic
boundary.
B
AG
It's
it's
not
in
in
the
charter.
The
VM,
the
visitor
master
plan
is
the
document
that
defines
the
charter,
so
the
charter
does
limit
open
space
purposes
to
and
one
of
those
purposes
is
passive.
Recreation
and
passive
Recreation
is
defined
in
the
visitor
master
plan
and
it
is
defined
as
non-motorized
activity
that
achieve
a
set
of
criteria.
That's
related
to
you
know,
visitor
experience,
protecting
natural
resources
and
we
can
pull
up
that
criteria
that
we
showed,
but
it's
not
in
the
charter.
It's
the
VMP
great.
BA
Being
here,
thank
you
and
thank
you,
council
members
good
evening.
There
is
an
entire
there's,
an
entire
section
of
the
boulder
Revised
Code
that
regulates
vehicles
on
open
space,
including
Motor
Vehicles.
So
there's
nothing
specifically
that
says:
Motor
Vehicles
are
prohibited
in
the
charter
or
in
the
boulder
Revised
Code.
So.
AD
AF
The
OSB
T
three
percent
in
terms
of
the
number
of
trails
that
would
be
supported
by
that
was
a
map
that
was
produced
to
to
characterize
what
we
initially-
and
this
is
cursory,
think
the
emotions
passed
by
the
open
space
Board
of
Trustees
would
support
on
the
system.
It
was
after
our
engagement,
so
it
wasn't
something
that
was
brought
out
to
the
community
for
input.
It
was
the
result
of
the
bringing
the
the
item
forward
to
the
board
and
their
emotions.
AD
AD
AI
Pardon
me
thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
ask
the
question:
I
just
want
to
piggyback
a
little
bit
on
what
Janet
Michael
said
and
maybe
just
sort
of
bring
this
full
circle.
Z
Based
on
a
number
of
concerns
that
that
residents
brought
up
in
in
public
comment,
which
was
so
given
that
the
definitions
of
motorized
vehicle
and
those
sort
of
uses
are
not
defined
in
the
open
space
Charter
itself,
and
it
is
in
the
visitor
master
plan,
What
entity
ultimately
has
jurisdiction
from
which
to
amend
that
visitor
master
plan
and
ultimately
set
the
definitions
of
those
terms
that
are
used
within
the
open
space
chart.
Thank.
BA
You
for
that
question.
This
is
Janet
Michaels
again
with
the
city
attorney's
office.
Actually
there
is
a
definition
in
the
definition
of
Motor
Vehicles.
It's
specifically
excludes
e-bikes
from
that
definition,
so
there
is
a
reference
to
Motor
Vehicles
or
to
e-bikes
in
their
their
classified
as
not
being
Motor
Vehicles
in
the
code.
But
what
the
visitor
master
plan
is.
It
would
be
city
council
that
implements
elements
of
it,
so
the
master
plan
is
like
any
visitor
master
plan
is
like
any
master
plan.
It's
a
guidance
document.
BA
B
Okay,
not
seeing
any
more
questions,
then
let's
come
back
for
discussion.
So
our
first
point
of
decision
is:
we
have
two
ordinances
in
front
of
us.
We
have
ordinance
8575
which
implements
the
staff
recommendation
of
allowing
e-bikes
on
open
space
and
we
have
ordinance
8576
from
the
open
space
Board
of
Trustees,
which
does
not
allow
them,
except
in
certain
limited
circumstances.
Would
anyone
like
to
speak
to
which
approach
which
ordinance
we
should
adopt
tonight.
B
AB
I
will
first
of
all
I
want
to
say
to
everybody
that
spoke.
Thank
you
so
much
you're,
so
passionate
about
open
space
and
so
I,
but
I
want
to
just
say
that
my
husband
I
just
want
to
say
really
a
quick
anecdote.
Sorry
Aaron
for
my
husband,
you
know
is
disabled
and
he
cannot.
He
would
have
been
here
tonight
to
talk
about
e-bikes,
but
he
can't
sit
in
those
chairs
and
he
can't
you
know
he
can't
walk
very
far.
AB
But
one
thing
he
can
do
is
go
on
an
e-bike,
so
he
because
of
e-bikes
have
the
opportunity
to
be
outside,
but
for
him
to
be
able
to
be
on
Open
Spaces
he's
never
been
able
to
do
that,
so
that
would
be.
That
would
open
up
a
whole
new
world
for
him
and
since,
of
course,
I
okay
I'm
getting
a
little
old.
So
you
know
my
torn
meniscus
and
whatnot
I
had
to
go
from
hiking,
which
was
my
favorite
thing
in
the
world
to
e-biking.
AB
So
for
that
reason,
I'm
going
to
suggest
option
b
because
I
feel
like
for
seniors,
especially
it
opens
up
a
whole
new
world
where
they
really
can't
walk
that
far
and
we
they
will
be
able
to
so
many
of
us
because
I'm
a
senior
in
like
three
months
we'll
be
able
to
enjoy
the
open
space
like
we
want
to.
So
that's
something
that
really
hasn't
been
discussed
and,
as
my
husband
wants
to
hear
the
birds
as
much
as
anybody,
so
just
throwing
that
out
there
so
I'm
going
to
suggest
B
what
the
I
thought.
AB
It
was
a
great
plan
that
you
had
I
feel
like
the
reason
why
I
would
pick
B
rather
than
b-plus
or
a
minus
or
whatever
other
things
we've
decided
is
because
I
think
it
would
be
a
good
opportunity
to
try
this
get
the
community
used
to
it,
see
that
it
works
calm,
everybody's
worries
and
fix
anything
that
might
need
fixing.
So
then,
if
everything
works
well,
we
can
move
on
from
that.
Thanks.
B
Tara
so,
in
other
words,
the
you're
supporting
85.75
with
the
staff
recommendation
that
ordinance
right
and
then
I
wasn't
I,
wasn't
very
clear
but
I'm
thinking
that
first
we've
turned
which
ordinance
to
pass
and
then,
after
that,
we
would
give
direction
on
which
Trails
we'd
recommend
if
85
75
but
you'd
had
a
lovely
speech.
So
you
jumped
right
into
it.
Anybody
else
on
which
ordinance
we
should
pass,
and
we
don't
all
have
to
talk.
I
can
take
straw
full.
If
people
don't
want
to
give
speeches
heads
so,
can
we
do
a
yeah,
Lauren?
B
Well
I'm
I'm
gonna?
Well,
somebody
could
just
make
a
motion
yeah.
If
somebody
would
like
to
do
that.
L
X
I
think
that
a
lot
of
this
has
already
been
covered,
I
mean
our
thorough
but
the
for
me.
It
really
is
about
having
profitable
access
and
open
space
and
also
the
changing
technology.
You
know
we
hired
many
commenters
talk
about
the
Pandora's
Box
of
not
being
able
to
regulate
various
things
effectively,
but
I
think
that
really
we
are
we're
already
there
like
you.
There
are
e-bikes
these
days
that
you
cannot
differentiate
from
regular
bikes
and
I.
F
I
just
had
a
couple
of
things,
but
first
of
all,
I
just
I
know
a
lot
of
folks
went
home
because
it
was
getting
late,
but
thanks
to
the
community
for
the
dialogue
tonight,
I
really
appreciated
that
so
many
people
shared
their
perspectives,
especially
without
personal
attacks
on
Council
and
staff.
As
much
as
we
all
try
to
have
thick
skins,
staying
away
from
those
kinds
of
personal
attacks
really
makes
it
a
lot
easier
to
hear
people's
concerns.
F
So
thank
you
for
that
to
those
those
who
were
able
to
do
that
tonight
and
you
know
I
think
Tara.
You
shared
my
reasons
for
supporting
this
ordinance
as
well.
Not
all
of
us
have
the
types
of
bodies
that
allow
us
to
keep
doing
in
our
80s.
What
we
were
doing
in
our
20s
and
I
think
that
this
this
really
does
allow
more
of
us
to
keep
enjoying
our
Trails,
even
as
our
bodies
need
some
extra
assistance.
I
also
just
really
appreciate.
Staff's
work
and
compromise
I'd
actually
have
supported
the
original
alternative.
F
A
and
I
expect
that
in
the
future,
we're
going
to
be
opening
up
all
of
our
trails
that
allow
bikes
to
e-bikes
before
too
long,
but
I
appreciate
that
this
gradual
approach
is
a
good
middle
ground
for
now
and
I'm,
really
hoping
that
these
changes
will
make
our
Trails
more
accessible
and
I'm
really
glad
to
hear
that
we'll
be
monitoring
outcomes
and
impacts
as
well.
I
think
that's
going
to
be
really
important
to
the
community
to
build
trust
and
hopefully
help
our
future
osbt
and
future
Council.
B
Thanks
for
that,
Nicole
I'm,
going
to
call
myself
if
that's
right,
just
for
real
quickly,
I'll
be
supporting
the
motion.
I
do
feel
like
this
is
a
good
step
forward
for
differently.
Abled
bodies
and
I
think
it's
important
that
we
follow
the
data
that
shows
so
many
of
our
partner
organizations
have
implemented
these
regulations
and
there
has
not
been
an
increase
in
in
conflicts
and
I
know
that
we're
going
to
track
that
right.
So
if,
for
some
reason
we
see
something
different
around
here,
we'll
we'll
learn
about
that
right.
B
So
I
look
forward
to
seeing
those
results
so
and
then
you
know
we
do
have
the
on
any
number
of
additional
benefits.
I
won't
go
on
for
a
long
time,
but
I'm
looking
forward
to
supporting
motion,
then
we'll
talk
about
trails.
Anybody
else
before
I
call
for
a
vote.
C
B
B
To
zero
thanks
so
much
okay,
great!
So
let's
then
move
on
to
our
last
thing
tonight,
which
is
this
is
not
a
I.
Don't
think
this
is
a
motion
or
it's
definitely
not
an
ordinance
but
Council
Direction,
about
which
Trails.
We
would
like
to
suggest
that
the
staff
Implement
e-bikes
allow
e-bikes
on
and
if
people
don't
mind,
I'm
just
going
to
tee
this
up.
B
So
we
have
option
b,
which
was
the
staff
recommendation
of
trails
east
of
Broadway
that
already
allow
Bikes
Plus,
the
Boulder,
Canyon
Trail,
and
then
there's
b-plus
that
adds
on
to
that
Chapman
Drive
up
from
Boulder
Canyon
and
then
the
Wonderland
Lake
Trail
and
the
Foothills
South
Trail
and
since
I
put
out
the
hotline
on
this.
It
just
mentioned
that
those
Trails
do
have
the
same
care
or
very
similar
characteristics
to
those
East
trails
in
that
they're
wide
to
prevent
additional
user
conflicts,
and
they
also
all
serve
Transportation
functions
and
I'll.
B
Just
mention
too,
though,
that
even
if
you're,
using
an
Open
Space
Trail
to
get
from
one
place
to
another
you're,
still
hearing
the
birds
seeing
the
flowers
and
enjoying
the
outdoor
in
those
open
space
values.
So
just
make
that
point
that
it's
still
an
open
space
experience,
even
if
you're
going
to
from
one
place
to
another.
So
maybe
I
can
just
call
for
strople
on
this
between
B
and
B
plus.
But
first
I'll
hear
a
couple
thoughts.
AD
Thank
you
at
this
time,
I
will
be
supporting
be
similar
to
Tara
and
I.
Think
part
of
the
reason.
Why
is
because,
as
I
was
hearing
the
conversation
today,
I
was
very
torn
between
supporting
ordinance,
85
and
85
75
and
8576
and
part
how
I
was
able
to
think
through.
It
is
when
I
asked
the
question
of
how
much
Community
engagement
has
been
done
on
the
three
percent
and
my
understanding
at
the
time
there
isn't.
AD
There
was
none
and
with
B
plus,
even
though
my
understanding
you
came
up
with
it
or
or
some
of
the
members
of
the
board
came
up
with
it,
based
on
deductive
inferences
from
the
community
engagement
to
me,
that's
not
good
enough,
so,
based
on
that
similar
logic,
I
will
be
supporting
B,
which
is
the
staff
recommendation.
Thank
you.
Thanks.
Jenny.
B
Without
seeing
any
other
hints
raised,
I'll
go
to
a
straw
poll,
so
we'll
start
with
B
hands
raised.
If
who
would
prefer
B
I
got
I
got
two
hands
and
who
would
prefer
B
plus
and
I
got
five
hands.
So
we
got
a
council
majority
with
a
recommendation
of
of
the
b-plus
set
of
trails
and
with
that
I
think
we've
reached
the
end.
Do
you
all
need
anything
else
from
us,
or
is
this
sufficient.
AF
B
I
know
this
has
been
a
huge
amount
of
work
for
staff.
A
huge
amount
of
Outreach
osbt
has
worked
on
this
incredibly
hard.
I
appreciate
that
we
had
four
of
the
ospt
board
members
who
were
at
that
hearing
here
tonight,
thanks
everyone
for
all
of
your
hard
work
and
your
testimony,
and
we
look
forward
to
the
next
steps.
Yeah
Bob.
E
C
T
Thank
you,
Alicia
and
as
staff
get
situated
as
with
any
budget
there
are
times
during
the
year,
then
we
must
adjust
and
either
new
things
come
up
or
there's
a
shift
in
how
we
want
to
expend
monies.
We
usually
come
to
you
with
some
adjustments
to
base
recommendations.
This
is
one
such
moment
and
hopefully,
I've.
Given
you
enough
time
to
situate
yourself
mark.
BB
You
did
thank
you
Nuria
good
evening,
Council
Mark,
wolf,
budget
officer,
Nuria
teed
it
up
very
well
I,
get
to
introduce
a
colleague
tonight,
Rafael
Tingley,
our
senior
budget
analyst,
who
will
be
handling
our
presentation.
Hopefully
it
is
fairly
brief.
You
are
well
versed
in
adjustments
to
base.
We
do
have
to
do
these
from
time
to
time
and
we'd
like
to
try
to
highlight
some
of
the
the
most
significant
items
within
what
ends
up
being
a
fairly
significant
package,
since
we
only
do
a
couple
of
these
a
year.
BC
Each
year
we
have
at
least
two
supplemental
budget
Appropriations,
which
are
presented
to
city
council
for
review
and
approval.
These
mid-year
adjustments
to
the
budget
are
necessary
to
respond
to
new
priorities,
emerging
Community
needs
and
occasionally
emergencies
departments
have
some
flexibility
to
respond
to
these
unanticipated
needs
by
realigning
their
budgets.
But
in
cases
where
existing
fund
appropriation
is
not
sufficient
and
need
is
warranted.
Then
the
budget
office,
with
consultation
from
our
executive
budget
team,
we'll
recommend
increasing
appropriation
through
the
mid-year
adjustment
process
through
the
expanded
use
of
spending,
projection
tools
and
budget
to
actuals
reporting.
BC
We've
been
able
to
better
identify
when
certain
needs
will
be
very
likely
to
require
additional
appropriation
and,
in
some
cases
where
there
may
be
some
anticipated
Savings
in
the
fund,
whether
through,
for
example,
position
vacancy
savings
or
deferred
capital
projects,
we've
recommended
that
those
cases
that,
in
those
cases,
departments
meet
those
needs
by
utilizing
their
existing
appropriation
without
an
adjustment.
However,
because
of
this
new
approach,
it
may
be
the
case
that
we'll
come
back
in
our
second
adjustment
to
base
in
the
fall
and
make
the
necessary
adjustments.
BC
Should
it
turn
out
that
appropriation
wasn't
sufficient,
so
in
other
words,
the
fall
adjustment
may
be
more
reactive
rather
than
proactive,
and
really.
This
is
all
in
an
effort
to
better
align
our
expenses
to
our
budgets
and
only
appropriating
the
funding
which
we
truly
expect
to
be
needed
and
used
in
the
current
fiscal
year.
BC
There
are
three
types
of
budget
adjustments
that
we
perform.
We
have
additional
Appropriations
from
fund
balance,
additional
Appropriations
deriving
from
Grants
and
donations,
revenue
and
additional
Appropriations
from
other
unbudgeted
revenues.
This
would
include
certain
taxes
or
fees
being
remitted
at
higher
rates
than
anticipated
when
the
budget
was
adopted.
BC
The
table
on
this
slide
shows
how
the
recommended
adjustments
fall
across
these
cat
across
these
three
categories
at
the
top
and
then
whether
they
are
one-time
or
ongoing
in
nature.
I'll
I'll
point
out
here
that
about
98
of
the
recommended
adjustments
fall
within
that
one-time
category.
That's
a
change
from
previous
May
adjustments.
The
past
few
years,
we're
in
2021
and
2022
a
major
focus
of
our
mid-year
adjustments
had
been
the
restoration
of
services
and
programs
that
were
scaled
back
during
the
pandemic,
and
so
there
had
been
significant
additions
of
ongoing
resources
and
those
adjustments.
BC
Due
to
the
high
inflationary
environment,
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
is
requested
from
Human
Services
funds
within
the
general
fund
for
allocation
towards
the
property
acquisition
of
the
tribe
recovery
home,
which
will
be
used
for
Behavioral
Health
Services
and
will
provide
temporary
housing.
The
low-income
community
members,
including
those
experiencing
substance,
use
disorders
adjustment,
also
calls
for
an
investment
of
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
towards
additional
eviction,
prevention
and
rental
assistance.
BC
Services,
where
the
city
experienced
an
uptick
in
demand
for
these
Services
as
the
federal
rental
assistance
program,
which
was
started
during
the
pandemic,
has
begun
to
draw
to
an
end.
The
program
continues
to
experience
sustained
high
demand
and
additional
funding
as
needed
to
prevent
eviction
for
those
who
are
at
most
immediate
risk
of
losing
their
housing.
BC
We
are
recommending
a
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
dollar
investment
to
support
a
robust
Community
engagement
process
co-led
by
growing
up
Boulder
in
the
city
to
become
a
UNICEF
USA,
child-friendly
City.
This
Associated
youth
plan
will
inform
how
to
spend
approximately
two
million
dollars
of
funding
that
the
city
received
earlier
this
year,
resulting
from
the
sale
of
the
Denver
Broncos
and
will
further
develop
city-wide
alignment
and
coordination
on
the
city's
youth
engagement
and
activities.
BC
We
have
a
slew
of
Grant
revenues
that
the
city
was
fortunate
enough
to
receive
recently
and
we
are
recommending
appropriating
these
grants
to
move
forward
several
initiatives,
including
about
three
and
a
half
million
in
Grants
that
will
fund
a
portion
of
the
modular
Factory
housing
project.
Just
under
300
000
in
Colorado
state
grants
that
will
fund
open
space
restoration
activities
at
lower
Boulder,
Creek
Wetland
and
a
Federal
grant
for
seventy
two
thousand
dollars
which
will
fund
the
thinning
of
72
Acres
of
forest
in
Enchanted
Mesa
for
fire
risk
reduction.
B
B
Q
No,
no,
and
no,
my
goodness,
how
many
times
have
I
told
you
stop
subsidizing
the
developer.
Look
at
each
one
of
these
things,
1.3
on
HVAC
and
leaks
and
drug
use
in
the
library.
Why
do
we
have
the
drug
use
because
of
people
desperate
in
despair
because
they
can't
afford
to
live
here
anymore,
because
you
subsidize
the
developers
to
condos
on
every
corner
snap
out
of
it
snap
out
tribe
Behavioral?
Q
Q
All
of
these
things
are
predictable.
You
have
no
right
to
spend
my
money
on
them.
You
know
one
of
them
stole
my
catalytic
converter,
how
many
hundreds
of
dollars
in
sales
tax
revenue
take
that
away,
I
won't
spend
it
I
won't.
Have
it
spent
on
this
stuff?
That's
predictable!
You
caused
it
all
of
you
caused
it.
Q
Do
not
subsidize
the
developer
child.
Thanks
with
the
Broncos.
We
should
have
charity
from
the
Broncos
125
000
there
Parks
and
Recreation
300
000.
Yes,
we
have
all
these
needs.
Parks
and
Rec
like
tonight
like
the
e-bikes
development,
because
you've
got
so
many
people
coming
here,
attracted
to
the
athletic
opportunities
on
the
e-bites
that
you
just
passed,
which
you
should
not
have.
You
should
be
so
ashamed
of.
Q
How
can
you
do
this?
You
know
I
grew
up
my
mom
and
dad
met
in
the
hiking
Club
and
you've
got
to
have
e-bots.
Oh
that's
a
different
subject:
right,
no
they're!
All
integrated
Caroline
Miller
knows
that
from
open
space,
mountain
boards
open
space
Board
of
Trustees
do
not
fire
her.
She
knows
what's
really
going
on
here.
Q
B
F
Just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
staff,
for
the
presentation
for
all
the
work
that
goes
into
this
I
feel
like
this
is
probably
some
of
the
hardest
work,
and
yet
it
always
amazes
me
that
we
can
spend
30
million
dollars
and
have
one
person
come
and
talk
to
us
about
it
and
and
have
very,
very
little
discussion,
but
I
think
it
also
just
speaks
to
the
quality
of
the
work
that
you
all
do
and
yeah
just
the
trust
that
that
the
community
has
in
in
us
that
we're
spending
the
money
appropriately
so
anyway.
B
F
Sure
it
may
as
well
as
long
as
my
mic's
on
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
adopt
ordinance
8574,
approving
annual
supplemental
Appropriations
to
the
2023
budget.
Wait.
B
Seeing
none
I
will
go
for
a
vote.
This
would
be
a
roll
call.
B
C
B
B
F
B
F
AE
F
Just
appreciate
it,
but
I
I
am
I,
am
curious
about
you
know,
just
as
as
we
move
forward,
especially
with
our
new
budgeting
process
that
we
start
doing
from
year
to
year.
How
do
we
get
the
community
to
pay
more
attention
to
give
us
some
feedback
on
on
this
kind
of
stuff
and
anyway,
hopeful
that
some
of
the
key
outcomes
and
things
we're
looking
at
will
help
with
that
too?
But
thank
you.
AI
Z
Just
reflecting
on
the
night,
we
had
a
largely
a
really
really
good
discourse,
and
there
was
the
exception
of
one
individual
who
who
took
an
opportunity
to
talk
about
violence
against
members
of
the
community
and
I
think
we
have
to
be
better
and
that's
something
that
I
hope
that
individual
and
others
recognize
that
we
are
all
trying
to
do
our
part
in
this
community
and
and
that
type.
Those
statements
and
those
actions
are
just
not
accepted
in
our
community.
B
All
right,
well,
I,
will
go
ahead
and
gapless
closed
thanks
everybody
for
a
great
meeting
at
9,
28
pm.
