Ers
meeting
October
20th
2022
meeting
of
Boulder
City
Council
I
want
to
note
that
our
mayor,
Aaron
Brockett,
is
out
today
and
Bob
Yates
who's.
Another
council
member
will
be
late,
so
he
will
be
here,
but
in
about
an
hour
and
I
am
mayor,
Pro,
tem,
Rachel
friends,
so
I
will
be
leading
the
meeting
tonight
and
we
will
start
off
with
a
couple
of
announcements
and
I
think
we
have
slides
yeah.
So
just
a
reminder
on
covid-19
testing
and
vaccinations,
you
can
get
more
information
for
either
of
those
things.
B
If
you
go
to
www.boco.org
covet
testing
and
we
also
still
have
the
boulder
site
available
for
free
drive
through
testing
or
bike
through
testing
at
stazio
Drive
number
two:
is
there
also
a
slide?
Yeah
return
to
council
chambers
welcome
back
to
public
participation
in
Chambers,
with
the
public
being
back
in
Chambers
beginning
last
week
we
wanted
to
reissue
a
couple
of
reminders
that
we
are
offering
the
public
to
participate
both
virtually
and
in
person.
You
were
asked
to
indicate
on
the
open
comment
and
public
hearing
forms.
If
you
will
be
speaking
virtually
or
in
person.
B
In-Person
speakers
will
speak
first.
Virtual
speakers
will
follow.
All
speakers
are
listed
in
the
order
in
which
they
signed
up,
and
speakers
may
change
their
location
preference
in
needed
by,
if
needed,
by
contacting
the
city
clerk's
office
at
city
clerk's
office
at
Boulder
colorado.gov
prior
to
the
start
of
the
meeting
and
I
assume.
If
someone
is
in
this
meeting
and
didn't
have
this
announcement,
since
it's
so
fresh
and
they
were
virtual,
they
could
come
up
to
you
right
now.
B
B
Awesome,
thank
you
for
that
last
minute,
game
call.
Okay,
so
now
we
will
move
into
our
regular
meeting
about
Thursday
October
20th
and
we
will
start
with
call
to
order
and
roll
call.
C
D
B
Yay:
okay,
moving
on
to
agenda
item
1A
is
an
international
stuttering,
Awareness
Day
declaration.
That
is
my
pleasure
to
present.
So
I
will
come
up
there
and
invite
the
guests
in
the
audience
who
will
receive
it
to
stand
up
with
me.
B
B
We
honor
International
stuttering
awareness
day,
which
will
be
on
October
22nd
2022
across
the
world.
That
is
the
day
along
with
being
my
anniversary,
that
is
recognized
as
International
stuttering,
Awareness,
Day
stuttering
is
a
speech
difference
characterized
by
repetition
of
sounds
syllables
or
words,
prolongation
of
sounds
and
interruptions
in
speech.
B
It
is
estimated
that
about
one
percent
of
the
world's
population
stutters
and
roughly
3
million
Americans
stutter
organizations
dedicated
to
Bringing,
hope
and
empowerment
to
children
and
adults
who
stutter
through
support
education
and
advocacy,
have
locations
here
in
Boulder,
top
academics
and
researchers
in
the
field
of
stuttering,
currently
work
at
CU
Boulder
and
have
a
long
history
of
doing
so.
Many
stutterers
suffer
frustration
and
embarrassment
that
can
lead
to
harmful
emotional
stress.
Stuttering
is
a
form
of
verbal
diversity
and
should
be
recognized
as
simply
a
different
way
of
speaking.
When
stuttering
continues
into
adulthood.
B
By
recognizing
these
challenges,
we
can
draw
attention
to
the
needs
shine,
a
light
on
these
often
invisible
disabilities
and
help
avoid
the
negative
consequences
of
misunderstanding
stuttering.
We,
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
Boulder,
Colorado,
declare
hereby
to
hereby
declare
October
22nd
2022
as
International
stuttering,
Awareness,
Day.
E
E
This
narrative
sets
up
as
people
who
stutter
to
experience
deep
and
painful
shame
when
we
work
our
tails
off,
often
as
kids
in
speech
therapy,
and
we
don't
end
up
overcoming
our
stutter,
the
advocacy
movement
in
our
community,
which
is
led
by
people
who
stutter
is
working
to
combat
this
damaging
narrative
and
to
replace
it
with
a
more
humanistic
and
indeed
realistic.
One.
Our
message
can
be
distilled
into
five
parts.
One
stuttering
is
a
form
of
neurotiversity,
not
a
disorder.
Two
stuttering,
when
persisting
into
adulthood
is
incurable
and
does
not
need
to
be
overcome.
E
Three.
What
does
need
to
be
overcome
is
actually
the
stigma
that
lives
in
all
of
us,
people
who
stutter
included
because
we
all
grow
up
in
the
same
environment
and
it's
perpetuated
by
societal
messages
that
depict
normal
as
being
fluent
speech
and
anything
else
as
being
abnormal
four,
when
people
who
stutter
and
their
list
Sinners
can
practice
just
expecting
communicative
differences,
people
who
stutter
will
be
more
free
to
embrace
their
voices,
stutter
and
all
and
five
a
society
comprised
of
people
with
less
shame
is
a
healthy
Society.
E
So,
on
behalf
of
the
entire
stuttering
Community,
thank
you
councilwoman
friend,
and
the
whole
Council
for
helping
us
bring
visibility
to
our
Movement.
We
are
very
grateful.
F
G
H
F
He
is
my
hero
and
the
person
I
have
always
looked
up
to.
He
had
the
coolest
clothes
in
high
school.
He
was
in
a
National,
Honor
Society
and
he
was
voted
homecoming
King
by
his
graduating
class.
But
the
coolest
thing
about
him
is
he's
been
a
person
who
stutters
since
the
age
of
six
in
our
hometown
of
Pagosa
Springs
Colorado,
embraced
him
for
his
resilience
and
his
ability
to
do
whatever
he
wanted
regardless.
F
So
thank
you
so
much
for
recognizing
that
children
in
Boulder
can
grow
up
not
needing
to
be
bullied
or
shamed
for
the
way
they
talk
and
to
show
that
adults
who
stutter
in
the
workforce
in
the
city
of
Boulder
can
do
just
a
good
of
job
as
anybody
else
and
do
any
job
that
they
want
to.
So
thank
you.
So
much
for
working
with
us.
E
I
I
am
not
seeing
them
on.
Oh
there
we
go
wonderful
and
I'm
just
going
to
change
the
view
to
make
sure
no
I'm
not
going
to
do
that.
Sorry
learning
my
new
little
environment
here
that
is
slightly
different,
just
going
to
Spotlight
the
slides
so
that
everyone
here
on
Zoom
can
also
see
them.
We
know
that
some
of
you
who
join
us
often
may
have
heard
these
before,
and
we
thank
you
for
your
patience.
I
While
we
share
them
with
folks
who
may
not
be
as
familiar
with
the
guidelines
that
we
have
created,
the
city
worked
within
with
community
members
to
co-create
a
vision
for
productive,
meaningful
and
inclusive
Civic
conversation.
This
Vision
supports
the
physical
and
emotional
safety
of
community
members
staff
and
Council,
as
well
as
some
more
supporting
democracy
for
people
of
all
ages,
identities,
lived
experiences
and
political
perspectives.
There's
a
lot
of
information
about
this
vision
and
how
we
co-created
it
with
the
community
online
just
go
to
our
homepage,
bouldercolorado.gov
and
search
productive
atmospheres
in
the
search
box.
I
Next
slide,
please,
the
following
are
examples
of
rules
of
decorum
that
are
found
in
the
boulder
Revised
Code
and
other
guidelines
that
have
been
created
to
support
this
Vision.
These
will
be
upheld
during
tonight's
meeting.
All
remarks
and
testimony
shall
be
limited
to
matters
related
to
City
business.
No
participant

make
threats
or
use
other
forms
of
intimidation
against
any
person,
obscenity,
racial
epithets
and
other
speech
and
behavior
that
disrupts
or
otherwise
impedes
the
ability
to
conduct
a

I
Participants

I
Traditionally,
in
council
chambers,
support
has
been
shown
through
American
Sign,
Language
Applause
like
this.
Sometimes
people
call
it
jazz
hands,
so
we
encourage
you
to
do
that.
If
you'd
like
to
show
support
and
thank
you
very
much
Emily,
we
will
move
on
if
you
can
pull
up
the
timer
I
am
going
to
remove
the
spotlight
for
Council
to
be
sure
that
people
can
see
the
timer
as
they
are
speaking
and
we
will
start
with
in-person
testimony.
B
Thanks
so
much
Brenda,
okay
I'll
call
the
first
couple
people
just
so
that
the
people
who
are
not
number
one
but
maybe
two
and
three
can
start
queuing
up.
So
we
will
start
off
with
Keaton
gray
and
on
Deck
will
be
Chris
lauridson
and
Caroline
consulman
and
I'm.
Sorry
in
advance
for
any
names,
I'm
not
getting
right,
but
first
up
Keaton
gray.
Please.
J
Is
this
going
to
start
automatically?
Okay,
all
right,
hello,
city,
council,
my
name
is
Keaton
gray.
I
am
a
licensed
social
worker.
A
full-time
mental
health
therapist
here
in
Boulder
on
November,
8th
coloradans,
will
vote
on
proposition
122,
which
would
create
a
state
regulated
access
model
to
make
it
legal
for
people
to
receive
psychedelic,
assisted
treatment
services
at
quote,
licensed
Healing
Centers
and
approved
Health
Care
locations.
J
So
I
am
very
concerned
about
this
initiative
and
I
ask
Boulder
City
Council
to
lead
the
way
and
restorative
justice
to
decriminalize
the
use
of
psychedelic
medicines
for
all
adults
over
age
21
in
this
city,
so
psychedelics
have
been
categorized
as
a
schedule.
One
drug
since
1970
and
the
War
on
Drugs
has
wreaked
havoc
and
Trauma
on
communities
who
are
disproportionately
right.
Black
indigenous
people
of
color.
So
a
state-regulated
model
for
licensed
professionals
like
myself
to
facilitate
this
treatment
without
allowing
decriminalized
usage
for
all
would
continue
to
enable
these
racist-based
dangers.
J
This
treatment
is
predicted
to
cost
an
individual
around
three
thousand
dollars,
and
companies
are
already
capitalizing
and
patenting
psychedelics
and
preparation
of
its
regulation.
So
humans
have
been
using
entheogenic
plants
with
intention
for
healing
since
prehistoric
times
and
healing
is
our
Birthright
punishing.
This
has
been
a
deep
trauma
for
our
country,
so
I
ask
that
Boulder,
City,
Council
decriminalized,
the
personal
use
of
enthiogenic
plants
and
fungi
for
those
over
the
age
of
21
data
shows
minimal
public
health
and
safety
risks
in
cities
that
have
already
done
this.
So
please
come
council.
J
Do
not
let
companies
and
licensed
professionals
like
myself,
capitalize
these
medicines
without
allowing
Equitable
and
safe
access
for
all
adults.
I
ask
Boulder
City
Council
to
lead
the
way
and
decriminalize
natural
medicines
for
all
and
uphold
values
of
solidarity,
Mutual,
Aid,
Justice
and
equity
for
our
community.
Thank
you.
Thank.
K
Hi,
my
name
is
Chris
lordson
hi,
my
name
is
Chris
lordson
I'm,
a
fellow
Boulder
resident
I
attend
the
University
of
Colorado
Boulder
as
a
graduate
student
and
I
also
completed
my
undergraduate
studies
here,
I'm
speaking
today,
also
on
behalf
of
the
effort
to
make
psychedelic
medicines
fully
decriminalized
here
in
Boulder,
I'd
like
to
share
my
perspective
as
to
why
this
issue
is
of
high
importance
on
campus
I'm
fortunate
to
serve
as
the
co-president
of
the
Psychedelic
Club.
K
Our
club
has
a
history
of
being
a
safe
space
for
individuals
in
our
community
to
share
the
experience
that
they
have
had
with
psychedelic
medicines
without
fear.
We
have
consistently
heard
contrary
to
bad
faith,
depictions
of
dangerous
sensation
seeking
or
escapism
instead
powerful
personal
accounts
of
overcoming
trauma
and
addiction.
Releasing
emotions
previously
stuck
perpetuating
illnesses
in
the
body
gaining
powerful
personal
insight
and
Direction
and
reclaiming
a
productive
engagement
with
life.
K
I
have
had
other
experiences
which
inform
me
about
the
importance
of
us
taking
this
action
in
the
inpatient
psychiatric
unit
at
Boulder,
Community
Hospital.
In
my
time
as
a
mental
health,
worker
I
have
seen
up
close
the
plight
of
individuals
in
our
community
who
are
tremendously
suffering
and
for
whom
any
measure
to
address
mental
health
concerns
could
be
life-changing.
K
This
change
is
already
taking
place.
We
must
act
now.
We
must
be
proactive
and
not
reactive,
and
we
must
use
compassion
to
guide
our
decision.
I
have
a
tremendous
love
for
our
community
in
Boulder.
We
must
preserve
the
strength
of
our
home
through
being
adaptive
to
this
current
change.
Let
me
be
clear:
we
must
change
our
policy
to
completely
end
the
prohibition
of
our
nature
to
be
in
relationship
with
nature
and
its
medicines,
with
the
unwavering
condition
that
our
response
promote
Justice
and
equity.
L
I
want
to
make
three
key
points
in
favor
of
decriminalization
of
entheogenic
plants
and
fungi
from
an
academic
perspective.
Drug
prohibition,
policies
in
the
U.S
were
rooted
in
racism
against
indigenous
peoples,
immigrant
communities
and
African
Americans,
and
they
relied
on
punitive
methods
of
social
control.
L
The
results
were
predictable,
decimated
working
class
and
inner
city,
neighborhoods,
police
corruption
and
racial
profiling
prisons
filled
with
primarily
black
and
brown
people,
violence
in
our
communities
and
no
net
reduction
in
drug
use,
addiction
or
overdose
deaths.
Ending
prohibition
provides
the
opportunity
to
re-engage
democracy
and
prioritize
compassion
and
meaningful
public
education,
with
the
focus
on
social
and
racial
Justice,
decriminalizing
enthiogenic
plants
and
fungi
for
Innovative,
psychedelic,
therapies
and
ceremonial
uses
will
increase.
L
Community
safety,
reduce
racist
policing,
bolster
our
local
economy,
show
respect
for
ancient
indigenous
knowledge,
honor,
interdisciplinary
scientific
research
and
prevent
drug
abuse
and
overdose
deaths,
especially
among
our
youth.
The
city
of
Boulder
has
the
opportunity
to
be
on
the
right
side
of
history
and
set
an
example
for
what
harm
reduction
policies
can
look
like.
After
all,
prohibition
laws
have
caused
far
more
harm
than
psychedelics
ever
have
or
could.
Thank
you.

Hello
city
council
members
I'm
here
once
again
to
discuss
Boulder's
flawed,
affordable
housing
and
housing.
First
programs,
the
slogan
that
Boulder's,
affordable
housing
is
for.
Everyone
is
inaccurate.
It
is
apparently
not
for
families
like
mine,
I
am
a
working
single
mother,
active
Community
member
college
student
and
a
taxpayer.
I've
lived
at
Depot
Square,
an
affordable
housing
property
for
five
and
a
half
years.
M
In
fact,
I've
recently
been
told
by
the
staff
of
Boulders
housing
and
Human
Services
Department
that,
because
my
rent
isn't
paid
through
Section
8
or
a
voucher
program,
I
can
be
bullied
and
forced
out
of
my
apartment
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
such
as
filing
complaints
about
safety
and
criminal
activity.
In
my
building,
my
housing
is
not
secure.
The
message
I'm
getting
is
that
unless
I
am
an
unhoused
addict
with
a
lengthy
criminal
record
having
a
roof
over,
my
family's
head
isn't
a
priority
for
the
city
of
Boulder's
leadership.
M
Our
city
is
allowing
slumlord
property
management
companies
to
bully
people
like
me
to
move
out
of
their
homes
within
30
days
and
find
new
housing
in
the
middle
of
a
housing
crisis
and
a
market
overloaded
by
victims
of
recent
fires.
For
the
last
two
years,
I
know
this
I'm
in
construction,
housing
and
Human
Services,
and
the
majority
of
council
members
have
been
unresponsive
to
my
ongoing
reports
of
safety
and
building
violations
and
to
this
current
housing
dilemma
I
am
in.
M
B
Okay,
Sherry
heck,
Donovan,
Smith
and
then
Ari
Al
and
can
I
just
ask
somebody
in
the
back
row.
If
you
can't
hear
give
me
like
a
wave
and
I'll
interrupt
and
ask
people
to
speak
up,
thank
you.
I
see
an
ad.
Thank
you.
N
Probably
it's
the
latter.
You
know
a
friend
of
mine
told
me,
go
to
city
council
and
get
really
angry,
but
you
know
it's
just
not
my
nature,
but
we've
had
lockdowns
at
both
high
schools.
This
year,
Boulder
High
School
in
April,
the
perpetrators
of
that
lockdown
haven't
been,
were
not
locked
up
and
then
on
October
12th.
We
had
a
guy
breaking
windows
at
Fairview,
causing
that
school
to
go
into
a
lockdown,
but
he
was
at
that
school.
Many
other
dates
before
that

What's

oh

O
Many
of
you
have
heard
my
story
before,
but
I'll
be
sharing
it
again
to
advocate
for
the
decriminalization
of
psychedelics
in
Boulder,
I
grew
up
in
a
house
where
my
queerness
wasn't
celebrated
but
shamed
because
of
religion.
I
hid
and
I
hated,
who
I
was
I,
internalized,
the
shame,
and
by
my
young
adulthood
my
life
was
filled
with
depression,
self-harm,
suicide,
attempts,
anxiety,
substance,
abuse
and,
ultimately,
a
methamphetamine
addiction.
O
When
I
came
out
and
left
the
church
at
21
years
old,
I'm
27
now
my
entire
world
view
was
shattered
without
religion.
What
does
life
mean?
Why
am
I
here?
I
was
thrown
into
the
wild
to
fend
for
myself.
I
turned
to
existential
philosophy,
cosmology
Eastern,
religions
and
sociology
for
answers,
but
I
only
found
more
questions.
I
was
really
lost.
It
wasn't
until
my
first
psychedelic
experience
in
2017
that
I
began.
My
very
messy
healing
journey
through
psychedelics
I've
learned
to
embrace
the
existentialism
by
reframing
it
as
a
curiosity
for
Life.
O
The
vastness
of
the
cosmos
and
connection
psychedelics
continue
to
change
myself.
It
has
taken
years
of
painful
lessons
therapy
and
the
best
support
system
that
a
human
could
ask
for
in
order
to
stay
alive
in
this
body,
but
integral
to
that
healing
over
the
last
year
in
particular,
has
been
microdosing
psilocybin
mushrooms.
They
have
helped
me,
create
space
between
negative
thinking
and
what
is
actually
true
about
who
I
am
love
and
be
proud
of
my
inner
child
and
most
authentic
self
heal
from
trauma
and
find
real
recovery
from
addiction.
O
Most
recently,
they
helped
me
get
back
on
track
with
recovery
after
a
relapse.
Mushrooms
are
a
beautiful
tool,
but
they
don't
make
me
Invincible
for
my
humanness
and
I
still
have
bad
days
and
weeks,
but
recovery
is
progress.
Not
Perfection
and
mushrooms
have
taught
me
about
Hope
and
given
me
the
strength
to
ask
for
help
when
I
need
it
I'm
very
grateful.
My
Hope
Is
that
anyone
and
everyone
will
soon
be
able
to
take
part
in
these
plant
healing
practices
and
feel
empowered
to
do
so
without
fearing
the
law
I'm.
O
B
P
Okay,
I
want
to
thank
Boulder,
City
Council
for
your
time
and
consideration.
My
name
is
Dr
Ari.
All
I
am
a
physician
and
psychiatrist
working
in
Boulder
Colorado
I'm
here
to
talk
about
decriminalization
of
psychedelics.
In
the
past
10
years,
research
has
shown
that
psychedelics
can
have
profound
effects
on
anxiety,
depression
and
Trauma.
A
single
dose
of
psilocybin
has
much
higher
emission
rates
for
depression
than
the
traditional
antidepressants
we
currently
use
in
psychiatry.
P
In
that
same
line,
MDMA
has
been
shown
to
have
the
highest
efficacy
of
trauma
and
PTSD
of
any
treatment
tried
so
far
as
for
safety,
Studies
have
shown
that
in
terms
of
harm
to
society
and
harm
to
the
person
taking
the
drug,
alcohol,
heroin
and
cocaine
cause
the
most
harm,
while
MDMA,
LSD
and
psilocybin
have
the
least
harm
of
any
illicit
drug.
A
recent
study
from
the
Journal
of
psychopharmacology
showed
that
those
who
use
psychedelics
are
actually
less
likely
to
commit
a
crime
than
the
general
population.
P
Denver
has
decriminalized
psilocybin
and
a
review
of
Denver
city
council
reported
decriminalizing
psilocybin
mushrooms
in
the
City
and
County
of
Denver
has
not
since
created
any
significant
public
health
or
public
like
issue
safety
issue
in
the
city.
As
for
addiction,
Studies
have
shown
that
psychedelics
have
anti-addictive
properties
and
can
be
used
to
treat
diseases
such
as
alcohol
addiction,
for
instance.
A
study
recently
published
in
Jama
Psychiatry
showed
that,
after
a
single
dose
of
psilocybin
patients
who
abuse
alcohol
had
less
binge
drinking
days
over
the
following
32
weeks.
P
Furthermore,
due
to
the
high
tolerance
that
occurs
immediately
after
taking
psychedelics,
traditional
psychedelics
such
as
LST
and
solocybin
are
extremely
hard,
if
not
impossible,
to
use
every
day.
Thus,
lowering
the
risk
of
abuse
I
ask
that
Boulder
City
Council
make
decriminalization
of
psychedelics
a
priority
in
order
to
end
arrests
and
match
our
policy
with
a
prevailing
science.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Q
At
our
last
meeting,
I
called
on
Council
to
reconsider
The
Narrative
around
the
Marshall
fire
and
to
request
the
sampling
of
the
Marshall
Mesa
for
hot
spots
from
Rocky
Flats.
This
session
I
have
something
else
that
has
come
up
on
October
3rd
Monday.
Halloween
morning.
The
rocky
flat
stewardship
Stewardship
Council
will
be
electing
two
voices
from
the
public
to
join
them
in
the
meetings
slide.
Q
There
is
only
one
chance
to
make
this
election.
Meaningful.
Q
Two
seats
are
open.
Three
candidates
are
on
the
ballot
to
my
left,
herb
Fenster
to
my
right.
Kim
Griffiths
today,
I
bring
you
my
commitment
to
serve
the
public
on
this
Council
Miss
weiner,
as
you
are,
the
director
of
the
boulder
chair
on
this
Council
I
am
urging
you
to
elect
herb
Fenster
and
myself.
Q
Q
Q
Q
G
R
Okay,
thank
you
for
letting
me
speak.
Raise
your
hand,
everybody.
If
you
agree
safety
is
our
number
one
job
yeah.
Let's
do
it
next
current
laws
and
weak
consequences
cause
suffering.
We
must
break
the
cycle
next
in
order
to
protect
the
kids
invulnerable
unhoused.
Next,
we
must
separate
the
victims
from
the
Predators.
We
must
break
the
cycle.
Next
easy
access
matters,
a
child
can
walk
out
these
doors
and
by
Meth
in
five
minutes.
Next,
this
is
from
Friday
stolen
property,
smoking,
meth,
zero
consequences,
Boulder
high
school
is
only
400
yards
away.
R
Next,
current
weak
laws
allow
people
to
smoke
meth
in
public
and
only
get
a
ticket
next.
By
allowing
this
it
enables
addiction
and
suffering.
We
must
break
the
cycle.
Next,
we
have
a
mental
health
crisis
that
we
are
making
worse
with
current
laws
in
Boulder
police
officer
told
me,
there
are
four
types
of
unhoused
people
those
hit
by
hard
times
and
want
help
those
who
have
serious
mental
health
and
addiction
issues,
those
who
are
unhoused
by
choice
and
then
the
Predators
and
drug
dealers
who
are
taking
advantage
of
all
the
vulnerable
ones.
R
Next
Safety
First
kids
are
afraid
and
don't
know
where
to
safely
walk
around
schools,
because
there
are
random
drug
dealers
and
moving
encampments
with
Predators
hiding
among
the
vulnerable
unhoused
make
Boulder
safe.
Next,
the
system
is
broken
and
we
must
fix
easy
access
environment
that
allows
addiction
to
thrive.
The
vulnerable
unhoused
people
need
protection
from
predators
too
next
make
Boulder
unattractive
to
Predators,
prevent
easy
access
to
deadly
drugs
and
protect
the
vulnerable,
more
mental
health
and
Addiction
Services
ibogaine
really
works.
R
B

S
Hello:
everyone,
my
name,
is
Clara
Elizabeth
I
am
a
third
year
PhD
student
here
at
CU
in
cognitive
psychology
and
I've
done
a
little
bit
of
math
modeling
work,
using
machine
learning
tools
and
other
mathematics
to
model
the
cognitive
effects
of
psychedelics.
I
am
also
a
survivor
of
childhood
trauma.
I
developed,
severe
PTSD
in
high
school
to
the
point
where,
if
someone
just
said
a
certain
word
that
was
triggering
to
me,
I
would
go
home
and
cry
for
three
days
having
flashbacks.
S
So
I
could
tell
you
today
how,
in
undergrad
the
use
of
a
couple
psychedelics,
including
LSD,
MDMA
and
psilocybin
mushrooms,
saved
my
life,
but
instead
I'm
going
to
tell
you
about
how
the
illegalization
of
psychedelics,
specifically
LSD,
almost
ended.
My
life
so
consider
my
words
that
you
hear
today
as
the
words
of
a
ghost,
because
I
should
not
be
speaking
to
you
and
I
am
incredibly
grateful
that
I
can,
when
LSD
was
made
illegal.
It
was
based
upon
the
chemical
structure.
So
what
happens
when
you
draw
a
line
in
the
sand?
S
Is
that
the
people
on
the
bad
side
don't
stop
doing
the
thing
they
just
get
around?
The
law,
whether
that's
good
or
bad,
and
so
people
changed
a
little
bit
of
the
chemical
structure,
got
a
little
bit
farther
away
from
LSD.
But
then
that
was
made
illegal
and
then
they
changed
it
again
and
that
was
outlawed
and
it
kept
going
and
going
and
going.
There
were
a
couple
other
historical
things
too,
including
a
man
named
Alexander
shugen,
who
created
a
bunch
of
these
chemicals
as
well.
S
But
specifically,
it
is
this
getting
around
the
law
process
that
created
all
these
designer
drugs.
So
if
you
look
at
some
studies
that
were
done
where
people
took
samples
of
Street
LSD
before
the
ban
of
it,
it
was
generally
okay,
I
mean
it
wasn't
the
best.
You
should
still
test
it
like
if
15
of
it
might
be
adulterated
with
PCP
or
amphetamine.
B
Sorry,
your
time
is
up
I
hope
you
have
our
email
address
and
can
email
us
the
rest
of
your
testimony.
Thank
you.
Next
up,
Valerie
Beltran,
Bridget,
Mars
and
Malik
s.
Fear.
T
You've
heard
from
a
lot
of
the
other,
my
colleagues
here
tonight,
my
friends
here
tonight
who
are
sharing
the
incredible
changes
that
they've
experienced
in
themselves
and
I'd
like
to
paint
a
little
bit
of
a
picture
of
some
of
the
things
that
I've
seen
I've
seen.
People
who
have
been
suicidal
made
multiple
suicide
attempts
who
have
had
absolutely
no
hope
for
a
life
who
have
been
completely
through
every
single
type
of
therapy.
T
You
could
possibly
imagine
and
who
have
gone
through
just
one
or
sometimes
two
sessions
of
a
psychedelic
therapy
and
who
no
longer
even
meet
the
criteria
for
PTSD
anymore.
To
be
able
to
have
these
kinds
of
opportunities
is
incredible
and
that's
why
I'm,
a
huge
proponent
of
legalizing
and
medicalizing
the
use
of
psychedelic
assisted
therapy
and
to
begin
I
think
we
need
to
decriminalize
so
that
nobody's
going
to
jail
for
these
substances.
T
I
also
want
to
make
a
distinction
of
how
different
these
entheogens
are
from
other
substances
like
meth
or
other
things
that
we're
mentioning
and
how
much
healing
potential
there
can
be,
especially
in
other
countries
where
they're
already
legalized
drug
crime
has
been
reduced.
Crime
in
general
has
been
reduced
because
resources
are
able
to
be
reallocated
to
harm
reduction
to
therapy,
and
so
that
people
are
actually
getting
healing
and
support.
So
I'm,
here
to
speak
to
wait
was
that
my
last
point,
one
sec.
B
U
I'm
Brigitte
Mars
I'm,
the
author
of
14
books
on
natural
medicine,
I've
taught
at
herbal
medicine
at
naropa
University
for
40
years
I'm.
Also
a
mother
and
grandmother
of
three
teenagers
I'm
here
to
speak
on
the
behalf
of
decriminalizing
psychedelics
I.
Believe
these
substances
to
be
so
much
safer
than
the
drugs
that
are
currently
marketed
to
people
I
do
believe.
When
used
in
a
safe
sentence
setting
they
can
be
transformational,
many
respectable
people
are
using
them.
Naropa
has
a
department
of
psychedelic
studies.
U
This
is
going
to
be
the
medicine
of
the
future
and
the
people
that
are
learning
about
this
should
not
be
criminals.
The
people
that
are
going
to
be
using
these
medicines
are
being
transformed
in
my
own
work,
I
seen
that
these
substances
can
help
people
overcome
addiction,
because
there
can
be
the
opportunity
for
an
epiphany
how
we
are
all
connected,
how
we
are
children
of
the
Divine
I've
seen
this
help,
people
with
addiction
with
post-traumatic
stress,
fear
of
death.
U
The
creativity
that
can
come
from
these
experiences
is
unsurpassed
when
we
think
about
the
music
that
came
out
of
the
60s,
but
the
possibility
of
truth
beauty.
Goodness.
We
know
that
our
planet
is
in
Peril.
We
so
need
something
that's
going
to
wake
people
up,
so
we
can
be
better.
Stewards
of
this
planet
find
ways
that
we
can
coexist
together
without
creating
Warfare
I.
Do
believe
that
this
is
a
an
opportunity
for
evolution
for
our
planet.
U
I
do
believe
that
psychedelics
can
transform
the
world
when
we
think
of
things
that
came
out
of
the
earlier
psychedelic
Revolution
that
are
still
with
us
today.
Things
like
yoga,
meditation,
organic
farming,
natural
childbirth,
alternative
education.
These
things
have
all
been
infiltrated
into
our
society
for
the
good
and
the
Natural
Foods
movement.
Thank
you
so
much
thank.

the
necessity
for

to
join
15

decriminalizing,
psychedelics

antiogenic

For

putting
themselves
out

basically
incriminating
themselves
to
tell
their

It's
evident
that
there's
something

responsive,
oh
no,
not
again.
Fire
mitigation
is
important,
but
needs
a
separate
department
and
budget
2B
triggers
the
thought.
Are
you
out
of
your
mind,
18
plus
years
and
80,
plus
million
dollars
of
bondage
to
bad
leadership,
bad
logic
and
an
employee-packed
pay
roster
with
no
real
cost
benefit
analysis.
Climate
inaction
has
the
logic
wrong.
X
Boulder
government
has
electrified
their
own
buildings
and
helped
rich
people
Electrify
their
homes.
Boulder
has
electric
vehicles
and
lots
of
chargers
for
them.
This
is
not
Equity.
This
is
acting
Rich.
Electricity
is
the
current
carbon
equivalent
of
burning
44
coal,
while
the
electric
transmission
grid
is
getting
overloaded,
Boulders,
making
the
present
climate
worse.
X
Unless
you're
tied
to
Renewables
you're
burning
the
carbon
equivalent
of
44
coal
with
heat
pumps,
EVs
and
electric
bikes,
we
need
to
use
Renewables
more
and
electricity
less
more
later,
but
not
now,
unless
it's
directly
tied
to
solar
or
wind
Boulder
in
action
has
a
long
list
of
good
intentions
in
2A,
plus
collaboration,
hot
air
and
zillions
of
trivial
goals
that
fail.
The
cost
benefit
analysis.
If
one
were
ever
to
be
done,
we
all
know
the
road
paved
with
good
intentions
where
it
leads
to
fix.

Hello,
thank
you
guys
for
having
me
I
am
a
Colorado
native
born
here
in
Boulder
County
resident
for
10
years,
father
of
three
wonderful
children
and
just
had
my
15-year
anniversary
with
my
wife
I'm,
the
director
of
a
research
nonprofit
called
unlimited
Sciences
we've
been
working
with
Johns
Hopkins
University
for
the
last
three
years
on
how
the
community
uses
psilocybin
psychedelics
have
been
showing
to
help
improve
with
so
many
ailments
such
as
obsessive-compulsive
disorder,
anxiety,
Eating,
Disorders
addiction,
pain
and
even
stuttering.
Y
Johns
Hopkins
has
raised
17
million
dollars
for
their
University
wing
and
multiple
other
universities
are
following
suit.
This
is
a
movement
that
is
moving
forward.
15
cities
have
already
decriminalized
psychedelics
Boulder
needs
to
be
next
I
want
you
to
take
a
second
to
remember
back
to
when
you
were
a
little
kid
things
were
so
bright
and
exciting,
and
you
felt
like
the
world
was
your
oyster
and
you
were
just
meant
for
so
much
more.
Y
At
least
I
did
and
now
I
do
and
while
a
lot
of
that
has
been
lost
over
time,
each
of
you
have
haven't
lost
all
of
that
and
that's
why
I
think
that
you're
here
you're
making
change
in
your
community
serving
your
community
as
City
Council
Members.
The
community
here
is
speaking
tonight.
Psychedelics
have
brought
so
much
joy
and
hope
back
to
me
personally
and
you
have
the
ability
to
make
massive
change
in
our
community
locally.
Y
B
I
Hi,
thank
you
Rachel.
So
we
have
three
speakers
signed
up.
I
am
not
seeing
David
dadone
in
our
meeting
at
this
moment,
so
David.
If
you
are
here
and
perhaps
you're,
showing
up
under
a
different
name,
please
go
ahead
and
raise
your
hand
or
reach
out
to
me
in
the
Q
a
so
that
I
know
that
you're
here
and
can
can
change
your
name
and
get
you
in
line
in
your
turn.
Otherwise
we
will
start
with
Lynn.
Siegel
second
would
be
David.
I
If
David
is
here
and
then
we'll
end
on
Lori
Preston,
so
Lynn
you
should
be
able
to
unmute.
Now.

The
Harvest
House,
the
millennium,
is
a
takings
of
Cu
from
the
city
of
Boulder
931
bedrooms
for
students
that
were
income
in
our
sales
tax
revenue
for
the
city
of
Boulder.
All
up
and
down

coming
into
Boulder
every
hotel's
been
turned
in
a
student
housing
CU
is
like
an
octopus
all
over
Boulder,
too
much
of
a
good
thing.
D
Webinar
format
is
not
fair,
it
doesn't
even
allow
me
to
ever
see
who
else
is
at
the
meeting
if
I'm
remote,
I'm,
not
vaccinated,
I
can't
be
down
there
if
I,
if
I'm
remote,
I
can't
see
the
slideshow,
that's
discrimination
and
the
woman
who
spoke
from
the
boulder
Depot
I,
don't
know
who
her
name
was,
but
that
was
horrible.
What
she
talked
about
thanks,
Lynn
your
time.
I
I
do
not
see
David
in
the
meeting
at
this
time,
so
we
will
move
on
to
Lori
Preston
Again
David.
If
you're
here
please
reach
out
to
me
in
the
Q
a
so
we
can
get
you
back
in
line
Lori.
You
should
be
able
to
unmute
now.
Z
Thank
you.
Hi
I
am
Lori
Preston
the
proud
executive
director
of
the
Museum
of
Boulder,
I
love
it
that
I
get
to
go
last
tonight
and
speak
on
behalf
of
many
Arts
and
Cultural
organizations,
mostly
so
that
I
can
emphasize
our
gratitude
for
the
work
that
you
do
as
city,
council
representatives
and
co-lovers
and
promoters
of
Boulder
and
I.
Also,
thank
you
as
well
for
the
opportunity
to
share
at
the
Museum
of
Boulder,
whose
mission
is
to
highlight
history
happening.
Z
We
showcase
inclusive
community
stories,
preserve
them
for
the
future,
and
we
inspire
all
of
us
to
affect
positive
change.
We're
here
because
of
the
continued
support
of
the
the
city
of
Boulder,
and
we
need
you
now
more
than
ever.
We
share
common
denominators
straight
from
your
cultural
plan:
cultural
environment,
creativity,
well-being,
prosperity,
joy
of
everyone
in
the
community.
Like
you,
we
create
a
supportive
environment
for
artists
and
creative
professionals.
Z
We
Foster
Innovative
thinking
and
Leadership
prioritize
Civic
dialogue
about
the
ability
of
culture
to
positively
contribute
to
the
economy,
social
offerings,
the
environment
and
authentic
expression
of
diversity.
But
more
than
anything
we
seek
to
amplify
the
vibrancy
of
Boulder
and
because
of
each
of
you
and
many
matching
community
members
through
a
beautifully
executed,
Capital
Drive,
we
receive
initial
support
and
funding
to
help
purchase
our
building.
We
remain
grateful
to
you
and
our
many
contributors.
Z
We
must
continuously
educate
people
that
we
are
an
independent
501c3
and
that
we
still
owe
on
our
building
and
more
than
ever,
we
have
a
significant
role
to
play
related
to
the
preservation
of
artifacts
stories
of
bipod
communities,
preserving
photographs
documents
celebrating
culture
and
providing
a
setting
for
all
voices.
We'd
like
to
be
on
the
city's
constant
list
of
support.
Unlike
many
local
museums
in
La,
Loveland,
Greeley,
Fort
Collins,
we
don't
gain
a
specific
amount
of
our
City's
financial
support.
We
do
receive
grants
and
we're
grateful
thanks.
B
I,
don't
know
if
we
put
Bob
Yates
on
the
naughty
list
for
coming
in
right
at
the
tail
end,
but
we
we,
let's
make
sure
he
watches
those
open
comments
when
he
goes
home.
So
with
that
I
think
we
are
on
to
the
consent
agenda.
C
AA
I
think
we
we
just
wanted
to
walk
Council
in
the
community
Through
the
the
flow
of
many
of
the
items
on
the
consent
agenda,
which
are
related
to
the
budget,
which
is
our
public
hearing
tonight.
So
the
council
also
serves
as
the
board
of
directors
of
many
General
Improvement
districts
and
so
I'm
going
to
welcome
our
finance
team
up
here.
Our
CFO
Cara
Skinner,
as
well
as
our
senior
budget
manager,
Mark
Wolfe
who's,
going
to
give
a
quick
just
overview
to
the
district
budgets
before
we
consider
the
consent
agenda
so
Mark.
AD
Thank
you
Chris
good
evening,
Council
markwell
senior
budget
manager
good
to
be
back
with
you
again
later
this
evening.
We
will
discuss
the
second
reading
of
the
2023
budget,
but
first
as
Chris
described,
you'll.
Consider
the
budget
Mill
Levy
in
certain
circumstances
and
appropriation
for
several
districts
under
your
purview
is
part
of
tonight's
consent
agenda.
This
short
presentation
will
provide
that
explanation
and
why
we
are
presenting
this
under
consent.
AD
The
recommended
budget,
as
presented
in
September,
does
include
all
district
related,
Affairs
and
Associated
expenditures.
You'll
remember
the
recommended
budget
was
presented
as
a
513.5
million
dollar
package
and,
as
amended,
is
now
a
five
515
million
point.
515.4
million
dollar
recommended
budget
so
that
that
budget,
which
doesn't
include
duplications
for
expenditures,
made
out
of
funds
and
then
the
activities
are
represented
in
another
fund.
AD
That's
how
we
present
the
whole
package
so
you've
seen
that
in
your
recommended
budget,
District
Affairs
are
a
part
of
that
package.
The
formal
mechanism
to
appropriate
the
dollars
is
brought
through
the
annual
budget,
Mill
Levy
and
appropriation
ordinances.
The
ordinances
cover
all
funds
that
are
directly
under
the
authority
of
City
Council
separately.
Council
considers
other
annual
budgets,
Mill
levies
and
Appropriations
for
districts
under
your
purview,
Council
reviews
and
approves
these
actions
as
the
board
of
directors
for
all
General
Improvement
districts
and
the
boulder
Municipal
property,
Authority
or
bumpa.
AD
Council
also
has
statute
authority
to
review
and
approve
the
budget
of
business
Improvement
districts
and
because
we
have
to
switch
between
acting
Council
acting
as
different
bodies.
To
take
these
actions,
we
have
presented
this
for
the
last
couple
years,
I
believe
under
consent.
So
it's
just
easier
from
an
efficiency
standpoint
to
work
through
the
various
different
resolutions.
AD
All
right-
and
so
these
are
the
various
different
resolutions
that
you're
approving
for
the
starting
with
the
general
Improvement
districts,
the
Central
Area
General,
improvement,
district
or
cajid,
the
University
Hill
General
improvement
district
or
eugid.
The
two
Boulder
Junction
access,
District,
gids
Beach
at
parking
and
bjab
TDM
and
Forest
Glen
General
improvement
district,
which
is
an
Eco
Pass
Program
in
Forest
Glenn.
AD
So
for
these
you're
operating
as
the
board
of
directors,
also
for
the
boulder
Municipal
property
Authority,
which
is
a
non-profit
Corporation
instrumentally,
a
part
of
the
city
it
is,
it
is
administered
by
city
council
and
you
are
acting
in
as
the
board
of
directors
in
that
case
as
well.
The
Appropriations
made
by
bumpa
is
subject
to
annual
renewal
during
the
budget
process.
So
that's
why
we
need
a
resolution
this
evening
and
then,
lastly,
the
downtown
Boulder
business
Improvement
District.
AD
This
is
a
little
bit
different
statute,
which
says
that
they
must
submit
an
annual
operating
plan
and
budget
to
the
city,
which
city
council
reviews
and
approves.
So
that's
why
it's
on
your
agenda
as
well.
AD
AD
The
rest
are
as
posted
in
your
agenda
and
just
to
clarify
one
last
piece:
some
information
that
was
shared
at
CAC
on
Monday,
so
if
Council
would
be
able
to
change
any
of
these
individual
budgets
without
impacting
the
appropriation
ordinances
later,
the
exception
is
if
there
is
an
influence
on
one
of
those
funds.
So
if
you
were
to
increase,
let's
say
the
general
fund
support
of
one
of
the
general
Improvement
districts,
we
would
need
to
increase
the
appropriation
of
the
general
fund,
which
would
impact
the
ordinances
and
the
resolutions.
AD
But
if
you
were
just
to
increase
the
budget
for
one
of
the
districts
without
that
relationship,
you
could
do
that
during
the
resolution.
Approval
process
so
I
know
that
was
a
question
that
came
up
and
wanted
to
clarify
the
answer
to
that
I.
Believe!
That's
it!
Yes,
that's
it
until
we
talk
about
the
budget.
I
AD
There
are
several
different
options
for
municipalities
to
create
these
essentially
Special
Districts.
It's
a
different
title
on
under
State
Statute.
We
certainly
could
do
a
more
a
broader
Mill,
Levy
I
think.
The
idea
behind
these
was
to
focus
on
a
specific
thing.
Generally.
These
are
related
to
Transportation
demand,
but
they
can
be
broader
than
that.
AE
AF
Yes,
bumpa
is
put
in
place
strictly
for
the
purposes
of
acquiring
property
and
being
able
to
for
the
city
to
issue
certificates
of
participation.
So
if
the
city
wants
to
issue
certificates
participation,
it
must
have
a
property
Authority.
Okay,
thank
you.
B
Before
we
get
a
motion,
so
I
have
one
it's
on
Jay
the
amendments
to
council,
I,
don't
know
decorum,
I
think
it's
called
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
it
looks
to
me
like
it
says
it's
new
language
on
number
six
focus
on
the
issue
being
discussed
rather
than
disagreement
of
ideas
by
using
I
statements
and
avoiding
personal
attacks
or
assuming
motives
of
another,
and
then
it
adds
language
both
in
the
meeting
and
Beyond
and
then
number
seven.
Is
news,
speak
about
colleagues
and
issues
with
accuracy
and
truthfulness
in
all
forms?
B
I
just
want
to
understand
like
for
number
six.
If
I
am
complaining
to
my
husband
about
a
council
meeting,
I'm
I'm,
this
is
saying
that
I
cannot
assume
motives
or
say
something
about
a
colleague
because
I'm
in
the
Beyond
at
my
house
is
that
true
and
it's
a
I,
think
I'm
going
to
violate
the
rule.
I'm
just
gonna
like
I
I
love
all
of
you,
but
you
know.
Sometimes
it's
frustrating
here.
AB
Mayor
Pro,
tem
friend,
you
bring
up
an
excellent
point.
Would
that
violate
the
spirit
or
the
letter
of
of
that?
Certainly,
and
if
your
husband
routed
you
out,
then
then
then
there
would
be.
You
know
he
would
never
well.
AB
B
AC
Good
question
about
this:
is
there
a
way
to
edit
it
because,
where
this
came
up
right
was
in
a
conversation
about
how
we're
talking,
when
we're
in
a
public
forum
like
this
or
sending
out
an
email
newsletter,
or
something
like
that
to
a
bunch
of
people
right
that
those
are
the
kinds
of
situations
like
I,
don't
think
in
our
discussion
at
least
on
the
July
14th
I,
don't
think
it
was
ever
intended
that
that
we
wouldn't
talk
to
you
know
smaller
groups,
people,
friends,
spouses,
whoever
so
I-
think
you
know.
AC
AB
Yes,
Council
and
council
member
spear,
certainly
the
the
council
could
vote
to
continue
that
particular
item
to
get
some
additional
to
give
some
additional
Direction
and
get
some
additional
Clarity
and
and
perhaps
a
change
in
language.
Alternatively,
a
council
member
could
make
a
motion
to
amend
and-
and
if
you
have
proposed
language,
you
could
propose
that
here
tonight.
AB
B
Can
I
call
away
and
propose
that
maybe
we
move
to
continue
it
and
ask
for
language?
Maybe
we
could
do
notify
for
a
language
change
that
that
limits
it
to
sort
of
when,
when
speaking
in
or
or
communicating
in
in
more
public
forms.
B
I,
don't
have
the
language
so
I'm
not
going
to
propose
that
tonight,
Matt
well,
can
we
or
just
for
an
out
of
five
on
that?
Do
you
mean.
B
B
Everybody,
okay
with
us,
carrying
forward
okay
and
then
does
the
motion
need
to
be
just
part
of
the
motion
to
pass
this
consent
agenda.
You.
AE
C
AH
AE
C
AG
I
was
I'll
just
say
that
I
like
where
Rachel
was
going
so
if
that
helps
add
two
people
in
that
direction.
Outside
of
the
private
conversation,
public
forum,
social
media,
newsletters
speaking
at
events,
anything
that's
in
sort
of
a
public
record
in
that
capacity
should
be
where
this
focuses
on,
not
in
the
private
sector.
A
second
where
Rachel's
at.
B
AB
B
That
clear,
Direction
thanks
thanks
for
rolling
with
that
to
everyone
back
over
to
Elisha,
to
take
us
to
the
next
agenda
item.
C
Yes,
ma'am.
Thank

AD
Thanks
Chris
Mark
Wolfe
senior
budget
manager,
all
right-
we
do
have
a
shorter
presentation
this
evening,
because
we
have
shared
so
much
information
as
Chris
mentioned
back
in
September.
At
our
recommended
budget
study
session,
we
received
feedback
from
Council
at
that
session,
brought
forward
additional
information
and
some
changes
for
the
first
reading
on
October
6th
Council
made
those
changes
which
will
briefly
review,
and
here
we
are
again
for
what
could
be
final
adoption
of
the
budget
this
evening.
Second
public
hearing-
and
you
already
took
care
of
the
district
resolutions.
AD
So
again,
just
to
summarize
the
the
total
appropriation
across
all
funds
is
now
at
582.1
million
dollars.
That
includes
a
general
fund
of
188.4.
That
is,
with
the
changes
noted
last
meeting
in
trash
management
and
the
contract
related
to
the
CVB
related
to
Accommodations
Tax
projections.
Community
culture
safety
tax
fund
is
now
at
a
little
over
30
million
30
and
a
half
million
that
includes
the
additional
funds
to
complete
fire
station
three
and
correcting
the
Boulder
Junction
Improvement
fund.
AD
The
total
2023
budget,
as
amended
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
is
at
that
515.4
million
dollars.
The
budget
does
include
a
number
of
exciting
Investments.
We've
heard
these
many
times,
but
it's
always
nice
to
remember
what
is
in
that
large
package,
which
includes
a
continuation
of
many
core
services.
Our
investments
in
City
staff,
Wildfire,
resilience,
efforts
and
emergency
response,
piloting
a
new
behavioral
health
health
response
program.
Many
homelessness
services,
including
piloting
our
new
new
day,
Services
Center,
safe
and
managed
spaces
Investments,
and
advancing
key
infrastructure
Investments,
including
major
ccrs
projects
and
the
facilities
master
plan.
AD
You've
seen
this
slide
several
times,
but
this
is
to
remind
everybody
that
we
are
in
the
three-year
process
Improvement
for
our
budgeting,
to
get
better
in
terms
of
articulating
our
outcomes
and
measuring
our
our
investments
and
the
impact
of
those
Investments.
So
again,
the
implementation
of
opengov
or
new
transparency
tool
is
a
big
part
of
that
in
year.
One
we
have
begun
to
talk
about
outcomes
within
our
budgeting
process
and
will
continue
to
implement
that
as
we
move
into
year
two
and
begin
to
talk
more
about
what
measurements.
AD
We
need
to
really
determine
our
progress
to
make
decisions
based
off
of
that
data
and
information
I
bring
that
up,
because
that
was
a
highlight
of
October
6
in
talking
through
our
various
different
Investments,
especially
as
we
were
talking
about
our
safe
and
managed
spaces
program,
we
did
provide
a
hotline
a
post
on
this,
but
just
to
for
for
Council
and
Community
to
hear
a
little
bit
more
about
this.
We
have
done
some
work
to
summarize
the
activities
in
this
area,
especially
in
refining
what
we
mean
by
outcomes.
AD
It's
a
little
bit
convoluted,
but
here
is
a
good
example
of
of
looking
at
the
program
and
what
we
intend
to
measure
in
terms
of
Effectiveness,
so
our
outputs
would
be
something
like
the
pounds
of
trash
removed.
Our
outcomes
would
be
more
strategic
in
this
example,
would
be
campsite
resident
engagement
with
services
so
again
a
little
bit
more
towards
what
we're
intending
to
accomplish
with
our
investments.
AD
So
the
work
that
is
has
started
and
will
continue
over
the
next
several
months,
we'll
consider
items
like
harm
reduction
in
public
spaces,
maximize
our
service
connections
through
all
City
touch
points.
Look
at
Innovative
approaches
that
go
beyond
our
current
programming
to
support
Collective,
Citywide
efforts,
and
all
of
this
will
come
back
to
council
as
a
part
of
the
February
2023
program,
update
on
safe
and
managed
public
spaces
to
to
Really
dive
into
those
enhanced
metrics.
AD
And
so
this
is
a
really
good
example
of
what
we
intend
to
do
across
our
many
program,
Investments
throughout
the
city
and
then
the
other
item
that
received
a
lot
of
attention.
We
we
started
to
have
our
our
arpa
conversation
a
bit
two
weeks
ago,
and
so
we
just
wanted
to
provide
a
little
bit
of
a
preview
of
what
that
conversation
may
look
like.
So,
as
Council
remembers,
we
have
had
a
conversation
around
initial
arpa
goals.
Then
we
talked
about
initial
investments
in
what
we
call
tranche
one.
AD
Then
we
had
a
little
bit
longer
conversation
about
tranche,
2,
Appropriations
or
Investments,
and
and
we
we
previewed
or
I
suppose
we
made
recommendations
on
tranche
3
or
what
would
be
the
last
group
of
initiatives
that
we
would
fund
through
arpa.
So
that's
what
we
intend
to
discuss
at
our
next
touch
point.
AD
We
do
appreciate
the
flexibility
in
pushing
that
out
two
weeks,
so
we're
currently
scheduled
to
have
that
full
discussion
on
December
1st
I
believe,
where
we'll
be
revisiting
the
prioritization
criteria
and
original
goals
so
again
to
help
us
make
decisions
about
what
those
Investments
might
be
review.
Our
previous
Appropriations
and
update
progress
on
where
the
dollars
have
gone
and
some
of
the
successes
that
we've
seen
we
will
discuss
the
repurposing
of
the
available
dollars
under
the
public
health
Reserve.
AD
So
that
was
about
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
that
we
talked
about
that
would
be
available
for
some
type
of
other
investment
and
then
review
previous
tranche
3
spending
recommendations.
So
you
provided
some
initial
Direction
back
in
February,
March
time
frame,
and
so
that's
what
we're
bringing
back
is
to
confirm
that
those
are
the
Investments
and
obviously
receive
Direction
on
the
rest
of
the
dollars
and
we'll
have
a
recommendation
on
what
needs
to
be
appropriated
versus
what
might
be
subject
to
Future
conversations
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
AD
Sorry
I'll
stay
in
front
of
the
mic,
so
a
lot
to
discuss,
we'll.
Probably
we
will
try
to
put
as
much
information
as
possible
into
the
upcoming
memo
and
tee
up
that
discussion
for
December
1st
for
our
next
round
of
arpa
funding,
which
will
include
a
number
of
different
items,
but
but
certainly
those
items
that
were
discussed
two
weeks
ago
related
to
looking
at
additional
Arts
Investments.
There
was
a
lot
of
discussion
about
basic
needs
in
the
Human
Services.
B
We're
going
to
go
right
into
the
public
comment.
Then,
okay,
do
we
will
Brenda
reread
or
did
we
tell
that
good
for
the
night?
I
B
I
I
wasn't
there
for
it
that
we
don't
have
a
chat
box
activated.
B
For
the
general
click-in
webinar,
we're
gonna
hope
for
the
best.
Please
please
be
nice
in
your
comments
to
you
know
avoid
well
I
I,
can't
even
summarize
it
so,
let's
hope
for
the
best.
Okay,
we're
gonna
start
with
our
our
in-chamber
speakers
now.
So
first
three
will
be
Elaine,
Don,
Miller,
Emily,
Reynolds
and
Shayna
Larson,
and
you
don't
have
to
be
nice.
That
would
be
against
your
first
amendment
rights.
So
say
what
you're
here
to
say.
Please
there.
AI
Goes
my
speech
all
right,
hello,
Council,
I'm
here
once
again
asking
you
to
recognize
the
critical
importance
of
the
camping
ban
for
the
safety
of
everyone
in
the
community.
I
urge
you
to
support
the
additional
funding
needed
to
make
these
cleanups
happen
as
a
community.
We
create
rules
for
shared
public
spaces.
We
heard
the
rules
earlier
for
this
shared
public
space.
AI
So
we
need
to
start
enforcing
these
rules
for
our
community
for
shared
public
spaces.
AI
Boulder
has
become
a
destination
for
illegal
camping
due
to
lacks
enforcement
of
our
camping
ban,
as
well
as
a
lack
of
consequences
for
criminal
acts.
Some
of
our
worst
serial
offenders
have
no
local
addresses,
but
their
IDs
come
from
North
Dakota
Florida,
Texas,
Kentucky
California.
They
literally
and
I,
mean
literally
tell
the
Boulder
Police
I'm
here
for
the
camping.
Those
teenagers
camping
on
the
roof
of
the
library
over
the
summer
were
here
for
the
camping.
AI
Some
of
them
say
they're
here
for
the
quality
of
the
drugs,
and
they
can
do
these
things
and
steal
all
right
out
in
public.
There
seems
to
be
a
shifting
ability
to
even
see
encampments.
Some
people
can
see
them
when
they
want
to
solicit
more
millions
of
dollars,
but
when
a
Community
member
shares
their
harmful
experience,
suddenly
those
same
solicitors
are
saying
encampments.
AI
What
encampments
I
don't
see
them
so
the
denial
that
encampments
exist,
that
they
cause
Community
harm
and
the
denial
of
the
huge
role
of
dangerous,
meth
and
Fentanyl
to
all
populations
within
our
community
are
obstacles
to
finding
a
solution,
but
the
role
of
the
camping
ban
is
not
to
solve
homelessness.
It's
to
keep
our
public
spaces
Clean,
safe
and
managed.
Thank
you.
B
AJ
Good
evening,
Council
great
to
see
you
I'd
like
to
thank
the
majority
of
council,
the
seven
members
who
supported
the
expansion
of
the
encampment
cleanup
Crews
at
the
first
public
hearing
and
vote
on
October
6th.
As
stated
in
our
city
website,
the
city
council
holds
public
meetings
to
gather
feedback
from
community
members.
So
at
least
seven
members
of
council
heard
our
feedback.
AJ
We
heard
speaker
after
speaker
talk
about
how
their
children
feel
safer
biking
on
Arapahoe,
rather
than
taking
a
bike
path
for
a
few
hundred
yards
where
there
will
be
intimidated,
yelled
at
threatened
lunged
at
we
heard
how
residents
no
longer
feel
safe,
downtown
on
Pearl
Street
at
the
Band
Shell
walking
the
creek
path
going
to
the
farmers
market.
To
sum
up,
you
heard
about
residents.
AJ
That
no
longer
feels
safe
in
their
own
town
downtown
we're
no
longer
able
to
enjoy
our
own
City
tourists.
Don't
fare
a
lot
better.
Consider
the
older
couple
walking
in
Central
Park
a
few
weeks
ago
where
the
woman
was
thrown
to
the
ground
by
her
hair
by
some
glassy-eyed
camper.
Consider
the
two
shootouts
on
the
hill.
Recently
city
government
already
receives
half
a
billion
dollars
from
taxes
and
fees
on
Boulder
rights
and
of
course
there
are
the
gigantic
increases
you
intend
for
us
on
this
year's
ballot.
AJ
AK
Good
evening
my
name
is
Shayna
Larson
and
I'd
like
to
First,
say
thank
you
to
the
council
for
supporting
the
Arts
I'm
here
tonight,
not
only
to
encourage
you
to
increase
funding
for
the
Arts,
but
to
show
you
a
real
life
example
of
what
happens
with
your
support,
my
husband
and
I
relocated,
our
young
family
to
Boulder
10
years
ago
in
2014,
I
noticed
a
neighbor
had
a
yellow,
Open
studio
sign
in
her
yard
new
in
town.
We
didn't
know
any
of
our
neighbors
but
decided
to
walk
in.
AK
We
were
blown
away
by
the
paintings
and
drawings
on
every
square
inch
of
Bobby's
home
studio.
From
that
day
forward,
my
daughter
and
I
have
spent
hours
every
fall,
touring
local
artists,
Studios
after
a
third
year
of
touring,
I
found
myself
yearning
to
go
back
to
creating
and
pick
up
a
paintbrush
myself
I'll.
Never
forget
that
moment.
The
world
seemed
to
pause
around
me
like
a
scene
from
a
movie
I'm
meant
to
paint
just
one
year
after
I
picked
up
my
brush,
my
eight-year-old
daughter,
discovered
encaustic
painting
on
the
Open
Studios
tour.
AK
AK
Secondly,
my
artwork
has
turned
into
a
successful
little
small
business
in
Boulder
I
shop
locally
at
galleries,
for
my
supplies,
I
work
with
two
Boulder
Woodworkers
to
make
custom
panels
and
frames
and
I've
sold
dozens
of
paintings
to
people
around
Boulder
County
and
around
the
world
funding
the
Arts
may
seem
small,
but
my
daughter
and
I
demonstrate
the
positive
impact
that
art
can
have
on
our
community.
Thank
you
in
advance
for
your
support.
B
AL
AM
Me
I'm
Mary,
Horrocks
I'm,
the
executive
director
for
Open,
Studios
and
I
also
served
at
the
dairy,
Arts
Center
as
curator
for
visual
art
for
seven
years.
We
appreciate
your
hard
work
and
financial
support
the
work
of
the
Arts
Commissioners
and
the
Arts
and
cultures
staff.
At
the
theory.
In
2014
we
produced
an
ambitious
program
called
Veterans
speak.
It
gave
voice
to
military
veterans
from
World
War
II
Vietnam
Desert
Storm
in
Afghanistan
through
ART
veterans,
speak
was
one
of
my
most
powerful
and
profound
experiences.
We
changed
lives
with
that
program.
AM
I
listened
to
the
last
council
meeting
to
stories
of
problems
with
the
homeless,
thinking
about
Open,
Studios,
Outreach
programs
and
what
they
might
offer
to
help.
We
run
seven
programs.
The
studio
tour
is
a
free
educational
program
for
all
members
of
the
public,
with
8
000
people
attending
each
year.
20
percent
come
from
outside
of
Boulder,
including
neighboring
states.
People
buy
art
than
in
restaurants.
Shops
stay
in
hotels,
all
raising
sales
tax
revenues.
AM
Our
community
outreach
programs
serve
disadvantaged
residents
and
school
kids,
paying
artists
to
provide
services,
helping
them
to
make
a
living
art
helps
people
take
pride
in
who
they
are.
Art
provides
income
for
artists
in
2016
we
were
receiving
twenty
thousand
dollars
per
year
from
New
York
Arts
commission.
The
program
has
changed
since
then,
because
of
funding,
and
we
now
qualify
just
for
ten
thousand
dollars
each
year.
Half
of
what
we
once
could
get,
not
because
we
do
less
or
we're
smaller.
We
have
grown
and
we
do
more,
but
rent
amounts
have
changed.
AM
In
2016
we
had
two
employees.
Now
we
can
afford
only
one.
We
support
artists
with
opportunities
to
make
a
living.
We
support
the
public,
encouraging
creativity
essentially
essential
to
a
healthy
Community.
Our
artists
are
generous
with
their
time
and
talent.
They
donated
art
for
fundraisers
netting,
five
thousand
dollars
for
the
king,
supers
victims
fund
and
foreground
for
Marshall
Fire
Relief.
AM
N
Hi
I
support
the
budget
for
continuing
the
cleanup
for
the
encampments
and
I
want
to
point
out
that
now
you're
hearing
from
High
School
parents,
you're
hearing
from
high
school
kids,
and
don't
you
think
these
kids
have
something
better
to
do
than
come
to
a
city
council
meeting
to
tell
you
how
they
feel
unsafe
and
how
the
parents
I
mean.
You
have
parents
who
are
telling
you
their
kids
are
affected
by
the
camps
that
are
right
behind
Boulder
High.
N
You
know
it's
just
it's!
It's
sad
and
you
know
it's
ironic,
because
you
try
to
protect
us
from
sugary
drinks
with
beverage
tax
like
if
I
want
to
buy
a
Gatorade
in
Boulder
I
have
to
pay
extra,
but
you
won't
protect
us
from
the
crime
and
the
filth
and
the
toxic
waste
that
surrounds
these
encampments.
N
She
used
to
say
when
something
wasn't
working
out
at
work,
she'd
say:
what's
the
damn
deal
and
I'm
going
to
say
that
to
you
tonight,
I
know
it
sounds
a
little
corny,
but
it's
like
I
want
to
say
something
stronger,
but
the
rules
of
decorum
won't,
let
me,
but
you
just
need
to
step
up
and
do
your
jobs.
Thank
you.
B
Thanks
Sherry
next
we
have
Karen
okada,
who
looks
to
be
pooling
with
Michael.
Please,
please
use
your
jazz
hands.
Michael
that
hand
raise
nicely
sorry,
okay,
so
Karen
you
will
have
five
minutes
with
the
pool
time
staff.
Please
correct
me:
if
I
got
that
wrong.
G
AN
From
the
background,
thank
you:
okay,
I'm,
a
newer
member
of
Open,
Studios
I,
haven't
joined
there,
maybe
in
June
of
2021.
But
honestly
I
can
tell
you
that
for
myself
it
has
changed
just
everything
about
how
I
feel
about
myself
and
my
own
art
I
participate,
as
I
said,
as
an
artist
and
as
a
staff
member
and
what
I
wanted
to
do.
AN
There
are
casual
customers
that
are
very
curious
from
the
Saint
Regis
CU
students,
with
their
families,
professionals
visiting
that
have
oh,
probably
working
here
for
a
few
days.
AN
AN
We
become
all
ambassadors
for
Boulder.
We
live
our
city.
We
tell
everybody
about
the
restaurants
to
go
to
when
they
come
in
the
gallery.
We're
proud
of
our
plane,
Air
event,
our
of
course
our
Open
studio
tour.
We
have
mobile
Labs,
we
have
the
Ed
link
to
our
Public
Schools.
We
always
make
an
appearance
to
any
of
the
boulder
festivals,
helping
and
any
of
the
crafts
for
kids,
and
we
have
sales
training
and,
of
course,
when
the
unfortunate
circumstances
happen
as
the
Marshall
fire,
we
are
there
to
hope.
AN
All
of
this
is
a
labor
love.
This
is
what
we
all
we're
doing
it
for
I.
Think
to
you,
as
council.
Members
know
that
very
very
well
getting
back
to
what
I
do
is
I
look
at
everything
as
a
magnifying
glass.
This
past
weekends
I
just
want
to
explain
to
you
that
our
Open
Studios
tour
we
had
164
artists
participating.
AN
That's
amazing.
We.
AN
We
I
can
honestly
say
that
their
return
on
their
investment.
You
know
this
is
the
conversation
we
have
as
artists
when
they
come
back
into
our
pop
gallery
and
I.
Think
for
myself.
I
am
grateful
for
that.
Community
I'm
grateful
for
this
teaching
community
and
I
I
feel
like
it
is
something
that
we
all
can
share
our
dedicated
director
and
our
board
members
I
know
are
Vigilant
to
serve
our
community
as
well
as
all
of
us
artists.
B
B
AO
Oh,
oh
okay,
good
evening.
I
would
first
like
to
thank
you
for
listening
for
your
time
and
for
your
consideration.
Elia
and
I
are
musicians.
Can.
B
AO
Okay,
Alia
and
I
are
musicians
in
the
greater
Boulder
youth
orchestras,
which
is
a
organization
here
in
Boulder
that
provides
supportive
orchestral
experience
for
young
musicians
at
first
learning
to
work
with
such
a
large
group
of
people
and
to
be
in
harmony
with
them
was
really
hard
for
me
because,
like
it
was
hard
to
listen
across
the
section
and
like
to
the
Rhythm
and
the
cellos,
that
would
keep
me
as
a
violinist
study
and
I
generally
relied
on
my
own
sense
of
pulse,
which
was
sometimes
fluctuate,
so
that
didn't
go
very
well
at
the
first
rehearsal,
but
as
I
attended,
rehearsals
I.
AO
I
also
established
empathy
with
the
people
that
were
struggling
there,
who
weren't
like
who
were
having
trouble,
maybe
expressing
themselves
a
little
bit
musically
artistically
and
because
I'd
been
there
too
right.
I'd
been
there
as
an
orchestration
as
well
and
for
me,
I
guess,
delving
into
the
arts
created
environment
of
safety
in
a
world
where
middle
and
high
school
age
students
spend
so
much
of
their
time
online
and
kind
of
disconnected.
So
thank
you.
AP
AP
The
Arts
have
taught
me
so
much
I
think
I've
been
I've
played
the
cello
since
I
was
six
years
old.
The
Arts
have
told
me
skills
of
discipline
and
how
to
be
in
a
community
with
other
members
of
an
orchestra
and
an
ensemble
I've
played
with
gu
I've
played
in
orchestras
all
my
life,
so
I'm
just
here
to
say
how
important
the
Arts
are
to
us
youth
and
to
so
many
people
in
Boulder,
Colorado,
so
I
would
appreciate
funding
for
the
Arts.
Thank.
R
Hi,
thanks
again
for
letting
me
speak
so
I
think
we
can
all
agree.
Boulder
needs
way
more
cleanup.
Have
you
ever
had
success
bribing
a
teen
to
keep
their
room
clean
next
it
is
so
frustrating
it
doesn't
work
next
because
of
current
laws
and
poor
Mental
Health
Care
access,
our
city
has
turned
into
an
unsafe
filthy
mess.
Next,
we
cannot
expect
those
who
are
suffering
to
keep
it
clean
and
safe.
R
It's
the
responsibility
of
the
city
to
keep
the
city
clean
and
safe.
Next,
when
a
city
is
filthy
and
unsafe,
it
loses
valuable
tax
dollars,
businesses
and
residents
leave
next
when
a
city
is
filthy
and
unsafe,
it
attracts
Predators.
Next,
when
a
city
is
filthy
and
unsafe,
vulnerable
people
get
hurt.
Next,
when
a
city
is
filthy
and
unsafe,
it
means
the
city
is
not
doing
its
job
next.
R
R
Otherwise
I
heard
there's
something
called
a
recall
that
taxpayers
can
do
next.
The
city
is
responsible
to
keep
Boulder
clean.
Please
pass
more
funding
safe
for
safe
and
manage
public
spaces.
Next,
until
we
can
solve
the
mental
health
and
addiction
crisis,
we
need
to
at
least
keep
Boulder
safe
and
clean
for
everyone,
especially
the
vulnerable
populations.
R
So
sorry,
these
slides
were
a
little
off
because
I
did
canva,
but
the
whole
point
is
when
we
have
the
safe
beautiful
environment,
it
promotes
people
feeling
good
and
wanting
to
stay
here
and
get
better
when
it's
dirty
and
gross.
That's
how
we
all
feel.
So
if
we
do
not
have
a
clean
environment
for
everybody,
including
the
vulnerable
populations,
we
are
not
going
to
be
able
to
have
success
because
they're
going
to
keep
going
back
into
a
yucky,
unsafe,
filthy
environment
and
they're
going
to
feel
filthy
about
themselves.
B
We
we
really
ask
that
you
not
make
noise
in
in
affirmation
or
against
people
who
are
speaking
things
good.
AQ
Evening,
hi
city
council,
thank
you
for
all
the
support
you've
given
the
Arts
in
the
past
and
I
hope.
It
continues
to
grow.
I
was
here
two
weeks
ago
and
did
not
succeed
so
I'm
back
again
to
ask
you
to
support
the
Arts.
My
name
is
Mari
Madera
and
I
run
a
music
education
program
for
the
under
resource.
Children
in
Boulder
and
BAC
has
supported
us
since
our
Inception
in
2015,
and
so
thank
you
we're
very
grateful
for
that.
Our
program
provides
music
education
to
the
underprivileged
overlooked
minority
of
this
town.
AQ
We
all
know
how
important
studying
music
is
to
Young
Minds,
both
academically
and
developmentally.
This
helped
create
successful
members
of
our
society.
I
wish
you
could
see
the
looks
on
these
students
faces
when
they
see
and
hold
a
violin
or
a
saxophone
or
a
cello
for
the
very
first
time,
then,
for
them
to
continue
and
have
lessons
learned
to
play
and
make
beautiful
sounds
is
truly
an
enlightening
experience
for
everyone.
Without
our
program,
these
kids
would
be
deprived
of
yet
another
opportunity.
AQ
Although
we've
been
blessed
with
the
gos
Grant
and
additional
funding
from
other
Boulder
foundations,
we
definitely
need
more
funding
for
the
Arts
to
employ
artists,
create
more
venues
for
performances
and
displaying
art
for
Muse
costs,
keep
increasing
for
such
thing
as
paying
teachers
who
struggled
to
live
in
Boulder
because
of
rents
being
so
high
or
owning
a
home
and
purchasing
and
repairing
instruments.
I
implore
you
to
increase
funding
for
the
Arts,
so
that
our
program
and
others
can
create
a
Level
Playing
Field
for
all
children.
AQ

Up
the
importance
of
these
budget
discussions

one
of
the

the

function
serves
as
a
tool
for
good
government,
transparency
and
accountability
in
the

This

plan
incorporates
risk-based
performances,

Well,
I
have

left,
so
it's
just
very
important.
We
don't
do
zero-based

We
don't

no

to

but
the

of

what
I

last

You

It's

AS
I'm
Mike,
hamers
and
I've
been
an
artist
for
47
years.
A
passion
for
art
I
was
concerned
early
that
one
couldn't
Thrive
financially
as
an
artist,
so
I
earned
a
degree
in
commercial
art.
From
there
I
worked
as
a
tech
illustrator
to
the
manufacturing
sector
for
20
years,
then
the
computer
and
digital
revolutions
came.
Cad
systems
ended
traditional
Tech
artist
positions,
so
I
learned
how
to
use
computers
and
founded
Lightspeed
commercial
arts
in
1992.
AS
today,
I'm
still
self-employed
as
Lightspeed
hard
hit
by
the
recession
in
2009
I
struggled
to
stay,
solvent
I,
slid
into
a
suicidal
depression
and
started
to
self-medicate
with
vodka
and
attempt
to
feel
normal
again.
Three
years
later,
I
joined
AA
where
I
met
many
artists,
poets
and
musicians
through
this
Fellowship
I,
rediscovered
the
joy
of
poetry,
music
and
making
Fine
Art
again
I
experienced
a
creative
Renaissance
that
I'm
still
enjoying
10
years
later
grateful
for
my
rebirth.
AS
I
created
a
series
of
artisan
Recovery,
Group
art
shows,

included

and
eventually
the

Statements
included
openly
shared
how
art
was
part
of
their
recovery.
A
local
reporter
stated
how
this
show
was
one
of
the
best
you'd
ever
seen
and
how
she
had
never
cried
at
an
art
show
before
art
is
power,
is
powerful
medicine
and
directly
tied
to
the
health
of
a
community.
AS
Research
has
proven
that
a
trip
to
an
art
gallery
or
Museum
can
positively
impact
your
health
and
well-being,
lowering
anxiety
and
depression.
Boosting
critical
thinking,
skills
and
increased
satisfaction
with

They've
shown
that
looking
at
art
gets
those
exact
same
health
benefits
as
those
making
the
art
it.
Challenges,
though,
is
that
most
artists
are
Starving
Artists
too
many
living
hand
to
mouth.
Artists
need
help
with
housing
and
work
opportunities,
we're
not
out

AT
Hi
I
come
to
this
meeting
as
a
concerned,
member
of
the
community
I'm
a
mom
and
a
psychiatrist
with
years
of
experience,
treating
mental
illness
drug
addiction
and
advocating
for
women's
rights
I
moved
here,
because
I
thought
it
was
a
safe,
clean
and
outdoor
oriented.
Community
I
wanted
my
kids
to
grow
up
riding
their
bikes
to
school
or
hanging
out
by
the
creek.
The
lifestyle,
I,
and
so
many
others
want
for
their
families,
is
rapidly
slipping
away
by
not
supporting
the
police
and
not
supporting
the
removal
of
illegal
camping
in
our
public
spaces.
AT
You
are
turning
your
backs
on
our
children,
saying
safety
is
not
a
priority
in
Boulder,
the
safety
of
our
kids
is
at
risk.
Laws
are
not
enforced,
our
public
spaces
are
being
taken
over
camping
in
the
city
is
illegal,
but
it
is
not
enforced.
Using
drugs
is
illegal,
but
this
law
is
not
enforced.
Vandalism
is
illegal,
but
nothing
is
done.
We
no
longer
live
in
a
safe,
City.
Kids
get
chased
all
the
time
near
Boulder
High,
a
girl
was
assaulted
just
last
week,
while
waiting
for
the
bus.
Another
one
chased
with
a
knife.
AT
AT
It
is
condoning
illegal
Behavior,
speeding
up
their
own
deterioration
within
Society,
isolating
them
further
into
poverty,
to
a
point
of
no
return,
and
they
are
taking
the
city
and
our
children
down
with
them.
Whatever
this
approach
is,
it
is
not
working
enforce
the
laws
clean
up.
The
encampments
offer
real
services
to
people
experiencing
homelessness
and,
let's
have
a
safe,
Community
again
for
our
children.
B
Thanks
Jennifer
I
sure
loved
the
jazz
hands,
guys
next
will
be
Georgia
Schmid
and
then
Holland
Shannon
and
Isabelle
Rhodes
Wallen.
H
Hi
I'm
Georgia
Schmid
I
am
the
vice
chair
on
the
boulder
Arts
commission
I'm,
also
a
dance
instructor
and
programs
coordinator
at
Boulder
ballet
first
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
past
and
future
funds
for
Boulder
Arts
commission.
Also
on
behalf
of
Boulder
ballet
I
would
like
to
say
thank
you
for
the
funds
that
we
have
received.
H
So
I
grew
up
here
in
Boulder,
I
was
exposed
to
the
Arts
through
city-funded
programs.
This
really
made
Boulder
a
fun
place
to
grow
up
in
I
was
taught
by
people
who
cared
for
me.
I
was
taught
by
people
who
inspired
me
as
an
adult
I
love
being
a
dance
teacher,
I
get
to
teach
The
Littles
at
Boulder,
ballet
and
I,
get
out
to
public
schools
and
do
Outreach
programs.
There
I
considered
an
honor
and
a
privilege,
I
love
caring
for
and
inspiring
the
people
in
our
community.
H
The
way
I
was
cared
for
as
a
child
and
I
know.
The
other
artists
in
the
community
feel
the
same
way
and
I
believe
that
funding
our
artist
is
an
essential
component
to
create
a
caring
and
Vibrant
Community.
We
create
safe
spaces
and
experiences
that
allow
us
to
heal,
Express
and
draw
in
tourists
boosting
economic
longevity,
so
I
like
to
be
really
specific
and
bold
and
dream
big.
H
So
I
want
to
ask
that
you
would
consider
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
or
more
and,
if
you're
interested
in
how
we
allocate
that
income
to
Arts
commission
meeting
anytime
aside
from
living
in
Boulder
I've
lived
in
many
different
places
and
my
favorite
places
to
live
were
places
that
had
vibrant
art
scenes.
I
found
them
the
most
healthy
communities
and
I
met
the
most
interesting
people
doing
the
most
great
work
in
their
communities
and
I
believe
older.
To
be
one
of
those
places,
and
thank
you
for
listening.

AU
Council
I'm
Holland
Shannon
I'm,
a
junior
at
Boulder,
High
School,
when
I
was
14
on
two
separate
days
back
to
back
in
broad
daylight,
my
friend
and
I
were
chased
by
a
man
with
a
knife
on
Pearl
Street.
The
second
day
this
happened
to
me.
I
was
passing
out
lunches
to
people
asking
for
money.
There
were
good
lunches
too
that
I
made
with
my
own
money.
AU
When
we
called
the
police.
They
said
they
knew
who
it
was
and
that
this
had
been
happening
to
other
people
as
well.
They
filed
a
case
and
took
no
further
action
after
this
happened.
I
was
terrified
to
walk
in
public
places
without
a
trusted
boy
or
adult
with
me.
I
assumed
the
adults
in
this
city
would
do
something
to
protect
us
kids,
but
it
only
got
worse
and
I
feel
more
scared
than
ever.
AU
AU
Even
one
of
my
taller
guy
friends
got
a
death
threat
on
the
bus
going
to
school,
walking
around
Boulder
High
School
to
get
to
the
hill.
With
my
friends
after
class,
we
always
walk
past.
These
angry
looking
men
and
it
scares
us
on
Sunday
I
showed
my
friend's
mom
the
spot
and
she
and
I
were
chased
and
threatened
directly
behind
my
own
school,
where
I'm
supposed
to
be
safe,
I've
lived
here
almost
my
whole
life
and
when
I
was
little
I
felt
safe
here,
I,
don't
anymore.
AU
I
lived
with
my
mom
in
Florida
for
a
few
months
last
year
and
it
was
beautiful
because
everyone
took
care
of
the
community.
There
was
no
encampments
or
people
doing
drugs
in
the
open.
Nobody
wanted
to
mess
with
the
place
that
looked
so
clean,
I
can't
say
the
same
about
Boulder.
You
know
when
you
drive
past
a
police
officer
when
you're
speeding
and
then
you
go
the
speed
limit.
AU
AV
My
name
is
Isabelle
Roswell
and
I'm
a
12
year
old
girl,
sometimes
when
going
home
from
school
I'm
out
of
breath,
because
I
run
so
fast
on
the
bike
path
from
the
bus.
Stop
because
I'm
scared
people
have
come
up
to
me.
Asking
me
about
drugs
and
I've,
been
I've,
seen
people
yelling
and
being
aggressive
and
who
sounds
scary
and
maybe
are
doing
drugs.
Do
you
think
a
12
year
old
girl
should
be
scared
to
walk
through
a
park
during
the
day?
AV
Do
you
think
a
12
year
old
girl
should
be
running
home
because
she's,
afraid
someone
is
going
to
hurt
her
walking
to
school
should
feel
safe.
Park
should
feel
safe.
It
shouldn't
feel
unsafe
for
kids.
Can
you
imagine
being
a
parent
in
the
situation,
getting
a
call
that
something
happened
to
your
child?
While
they
walked
home
from
school
now,
people
won't
use
the
bike
paths
or
Parks.
You
don't
want
your
kids
in
these
places
and
then
less
and
less
people
use
these
spaces
because
they
are
scared.
AV
So
the
bike
path
becomes
more
of
a
problem
because
the
dangerous
people
are
winning
now
ask
again:
do
you
think
a
12
year
old
and
lots
of
other
people
should
not
feel
safe
on
a
bike
path
in
other
public
spaces,
because
if
we
don't
feel
safe,
what
is
the
point
of
having
a
bike
path
at
all?
What
is
the
point
of
having
a
bike
path
that
students
don't
feel
comfortable
using?
What
is
the
point
of
a
bike
path
if
we're
not
going
to
take
care
of
it?
AV
AV
AL
Hi
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
crepe
Boulder,
we
respectfully
request
an
additional
three
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
the
2023
arts
and
culture
budget,
the
bulk
of
which
would
bolster
the
grants
program.
This
additional
funding
would
bridge
the
gap
between
the
funding
outlined
in
the
cultural
plan
and
what
is
truly
needed
today.
AL
The
Arts
are
continuing
to
recover
from
the
pandemic,
while
also
struggling
to
manage
the
impacts
of
inflation,
working
to
rebuild
organizations
faced
pressure
to
maintain
low
or,
in
some
cases,
free
ticket
and
class
prices,
so
they
remain
accessible.
At
the
same
time,
operating
costs
have
increased
significantly
in
real
dollars.
The
city's
Arts
grants
program
provides
23
percent
less
than
in
2016..
AL
Decades
of
research
show
that
the
Arts
are
an
investment
that
returns
economic,
social
and
educational
benefits.
Because
of
these
proven
benefits.
Competition
for
Arts,
artists
and
arts
offerings
is
growing
as
communities
across
the
state
prioritize
and
make
prioritize
the
Arts
and
make
investments
at
unprecedented
levels
to
build
a
thriving
Arts
ecosystem.
AL
These
communities
include
Loveland,
Grand,
Junction,
Colorado,
Springs,
Trinidad,
Ridgeway,
Basalt
and
Crested
Butte
in
closing.
An
additional
350
000
is
needed
now
and
would
be
deeply
meaningful
to
the
numerous
Arts
organizations,
artists
and
arts
Educators
that
improve
our
community
in
ways
that
are
both
tangible
and
immeasurable
and
are
very
much
needed.
Thank
you.
B
AW
All
right,
good
evening,
city,
council,
I'm,
Jonathan,
singer
and
I'm
the
senior
policy
program
director
with
the
boulder
chamber
before
I
begin
I
just
want
to
thank
all
the
youth
that
have
come
out
to
speak
today.
It's
inspiring
to
hear
from
you,
and
also
the
all
the
advocates
for
our
art
community
as
well
with
that
being
said,
Boulder
chamber
is
working
intensively
right
now
with
our
business
Community
to
ensure
the
safety
and
public
health
of
our
entire
Community.
AW
Our
business
owners
are
struggling
to
hire,
retain
and
keep
their
workers
in
part
because
of
concerns
around
Public
Safety.
At
the
same
time,
we
realize
that
we
need
to
be
fiscally
responsible
with
the
dollars
that
you
have.
This
budget
is
a
moral
document.
It's
a
contract,
you
sign
with
every
single
Community
member
to
say
that
you
are
prioritizing
their
well-being,
the
physical
and
economic
health
of
this
community.
AW
This
is
a
two-pronged
approach.
That's
going
to
require
a
lot
of
Blood,
Sweat
and
Tears.
The
money
in
your
budget
is
insufficient
and
that's
not
your
fault.
It's
because
our
County
and
our
federal
government
have
abdicated
their
responsibility.
So
we
now
need
to
do
find
a
way
to
work
together
to
find
a
fair
two-pronged
solution.
I
know,
I
mentioned
a
couple
weeks
ago
that
the
state
has
300
million
dollars
that
they
are
going
to
be
focusing
on
affordable
housing
and
also
to
ameliorate
the
homeless
issue.
AW
AX
After
all
of
the
tragedies
that
are
currently
that
the
our
community
has
faced
in
the
past
two
and
a
half
years,
it
is,
and
was
the
Arts
and
Music
that
have
given
us
comfort
and
joy
in
very
challenging
times.
Music
is
a
tool
for
inspiration
and
creation,
storytelling
and
Asian
an
Agent
of
Change
end
quote.
Not
only
did
Governor
paulus
join
us,
but
the
city
of
Boulder's
own
Jonathan
Cohen
spoke
about
actionable
steps
to
combat
climate
change.
That
was
the
topic
of
the
of
the
of
the
event.
AX
It
was
truly
a
collaborative
event
between
arts
and
government.
Now,
a
lesson
to
learn
from
Governor
polis
is
that
he
backs
up
his
words
with
budgetary
decisions
that
positively
impact
the
lives
of
Arts
organizations.
As
you
have
done
in
the
past,
the
scfd
and
Colorado
creative
Industries
have
been,
and
continue
to
be,
a
strong
and
stable
source
of
funding
for
many
of
us
and
the
boulder
Phil
has
seen
a
steady
increase
of
support
from
both
of
those
entities
on
an
annual
basis.
AX
Unfortunately,
that
is
not
the
case
of
us
this
year
from
the
city
of
Boulder,
as
your
Orchestra,
the
boulder
fill
was
left
out
of
the
most
recent
round
of
gos
grants
from
the
boulder
Arts
commission
for
the
next
three
years,
and
the
Arts
commission
made
it
clear
that
it
wasn't
because
of
our
worthiness
of
funding.
It's
because
there
aren't
enough
funds
to
to
to
support
our
vibrant
Arts
community.
AX
B
Thanks
so
much
Sarah
Sam
you
and
then
we
will
move
to
virtual
testimony.
AY
Hi
Council
and
thank
you
for
having
me
and
my
name
is
samyu
and
30
years
ago,
I
came
from
Taiwan
and
currently
I'm
the
owner
of
the
Rose
Hill
Wine
and
Spirit
up
at
the
University
Hill
since
2007.
AY
today,
I'm
last
time,
I'm
here
I'll
talk
about
safety
and
this
time
I'm
here
still
talk
about
safety
and
anyway,
our
our
store.
You
know
the
high
strengths,
Double
Glass
Door
got
broke
two
months
ago.
This
is
first
time
happening.
15
years
and
this
month
my
neighbor,
you
know
gas
station.
AY
The
entrance
got
broken
so
I
feel
like
I
I
do
need
to
say
something
or
do
you
know
try
to
do
something
to
you
know
to
make
it
better,
so
I
try
to
provide
the
information
and
one
maybe
naive,
Solutions
you
know.
So
the
information
is
these
homeless
people
they
come
in
groups
and
they
are
not
from
Colorado
they're
from
other
states
and
they
fought
they
fought
for
the
territory.
So
that's.
Why,
like
we
have
a
constantly
a
lot
of
fightings,
you
know
for
these
groups.
AY
Sometimes
they
have
more
than
20
homeless
people,
they
fought,
they
fought,
and
you
know
what
one
day
the
you
know,
one
of
them
they
come
to
come
to
me
and
say
you
know:
hey
same
I'm,
going
to
move
I'm,
gonna
I'm,
going
to
the
San,
Francisco
I
say:
wow,
that's
great!
It's
good
for
you!
I
was
so
happy
for
for
these
these
homeless
going
to
move
away,
and
you
know
what
and
they
he
said,
don't
get
too
excited.
I
can't
I.
You
know
the
next
group
is
coming
from
Texas,
it's
more
aggressive
now.
AY
B
B
I
Thank
you,
mayor,
Pro
tem.
That
does
really
support
our
atmosphere
of
keeping
things
welcoming
and
inclusive
of
all
political
perspectives.
So
I
also
offer
that
reminder
as
well
as
reminders
about
obscenities
and
particularly
racial
epithets
and
other
types
of
speech
that
might
disrupt
the
meeting
tonight.
I
AZ
AZ
It's
dangerous
to
be
on
the
Pearl
Street
Mall.
As
we've
heard
tonight,
the
bike
paths
and
many
areas
of
our
community,
the
majority
of
the
city
councils,
seem
to
prioritize
those
coming
here
from
out
of
the
area
and
residing
in
illegal
encampments.
Beyond
the
consideration
of
our
children,
our
community
members,
local
businesses
and
tourists,
my
young
staff
were
faced
with
crime
and
safety
issues
on
a
regular
basis,
including
threatening
behavior
within
the
store
and
while
getting
to
public
transportation
or
their
vehicles.
AZ
Recently,
our
store
manager
returned
to
her
car
to
find
the
back
windshield
smashed
in
her
car
was
one
of
four
that
night
that
the
perfect
and
the
perpetrator
was
a
woman
who
the
Boulder
Police
Knew
by
name
another
employee,
a
boulder
high
school
student,
left
the
store
in
broad
daylight
and
was
a
threatened
and
assaulted
by
a
man
at
a
nearby
bus.
Stop
he
grabbed
her
by
her
hair
and
her
throat
and
she
rebuffed
his
sexual
advances.
AZ
Within
the
past
week,
numerous
local
businesses
have
experienced
break-ins
theft,
vandalism,
smashed
storefront
windows,
some
for
the
third
and
fourth
time,
including
us.
This
is
becoming
the
norm
and
seemingly
accepted
way
of
life,
with
no
consequences
for
criminals.
I
encourage
Council
to
start
making
policy
decisions
that
promote
better
safety
for
everyone.
AZ
I
Next
we
have
Jan
Burton,
followed
by
Lynn
Siegel,
followed
by
Elizabeth
McGuire
I
do
have
a
name
on
my
list.
I
am
not
yet
seeing
in
the
meeting.
Kim
smells,
you
would
be
our
fifth
virtual
speaker.
If
you
are
here,
please
reach
out
to
me
in
the
Q
a
so
I
can
get
your
name
changed
and
we
can
get
you
in
the
right
spot
in
line,
but
now
we
will
go
to
Jan
Burton.
BA
Good
evening
Council
I'm
Jan
Burton
from
create
Boulder
Boulder
City
Council,
approved
the
cultural
plan
when
I
was
on
Council
in
2016.,
it
was
a
great
first
step
for
improving
cultural
life
in
this
city
and
city
funding
has
improved
since
that
time.
However,
one
mistake
we
made
was
not
building
in
inflation
adjustments
for
organizational
grants.
BA
Performing
arts
and
visual
arts
organizations
are
suffering
because
ticket
sales
have
not
recovered
from
pre-covered
levels.
They
also
struggle
from
the
lack
of
affordable
performing
and
workspace,
and
some
organizations
find
it
more
difficult
to
raise
money
due
to
other
unique
circumstances
like
the
Marshall
fire.
BA
Some
of
our
foundational
Arts
organizations,
like
you
just
heard
from
from
the
Boulder
Field
many
with
a
history
of
more
than
30
or
even
60
years,
were
not
even
funded
for
General
operating
support
grants
impacting
them
for
three
years.
Arts
and
culture.
Artists
and
musicians
can
help
Boulder
as
we
emerge
from
covid
fires,
mental
challenges
and
more
you've
heard
from
many
of
them
tonight.
BA
Many
of
you
on
Council
have
said
you
support
the
Arts
we'd
love
to
see
leadership
by
Matt
and
Bob,
who
mentioned
support
for
the
Arts
and
More
Of
You
by
funding
finding
more
money
in
the
2023
budget,
arpa
funding
and
future
funding
opportunities,
We
Stand
ready
to
support
you.
Thank
you
for
your
service
and
for
your
consideration.
AL
I
D
Hi
Lynn,
you
know
the
budget
is
like
in
the
winter
opening
the
front
door
and
turning
up
the
heat
now
I'd
be
ready
to
support
this
budget.
If
I
saw
less
subsidy
to
the
developers
that
caused
the
wealth
inequality
that
you've
heard
rampant
discussion
at
with
open
comment
and
a
budget,
and
it's
going
probably
into
the
drought
discussion
tonight,
because
it's
all
connected.
D
You
know
I,
don't
support
you
policy,
but
I'm
going
to
say
it
again
and
again,
and
maybe
so
the
public
can
understand
that
that
the
increased
inflation
for
the
Arts
for
the
budget
with
Jen
Burton
right
now
is
not
there
because
you're
not
directing
the
funds,
the
right
way,
you're
subsidizing,
the
developer.
I
know
I,
follow
eight
City
boards,
I
see
it
all
the
time.
D
Another
third
Story
another
giveaway
to
see
you
just
like
with
see
yourself,
another
giveaway,
the
Hill
Hotel
there's
got
to
be
a
hotel
across
the
street
too
for
see
you
with
a
15,
000
square
foot.
Ballroom
growth
creates
greater
inequality,
creates
the
trash
need
for
trash
cleanup
and
all
the
expense,
and
that
expense
will
be
endless,
and
you
will
keep
on
hearing
these
discussions
over
and
over
and
over
again,
like
you
always
do.
D
I
Thank
you
and
please,
if
you
have
further
comments,

please
send
them

Ben
Needham

Elizabeth.
You
should
be
able
to
unmute.
BB
Good
evening,
I
am
Elizabeth
McGuire
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
the
Colorado
music
festival
and
Center
for
musical
arts,
as
well
as
a
member
of
the
Boulder
County
Arts
Alliance
board
of
directors.
You
may
recognize
the
Colorado
Music
Festival
as
an
internationally
renowned
Performing
Arts
organization.
If
you're
not
familiar,
we
were
recently
featured
in
the
cover
story
of
the
Sunday
Arts
edition
of
The
New
York
Times
in
BBC,
Music,
Magazine,
and
a
story
that
highlighted
the
city
of
Boulder
prominently
and
on
national
public
radio's
performance.
BB
BB
I've
spent
25
years
in
arts
management,
approximately
six
of
those
in
Boulder
and
I
can
assuredly
tell
you
that
all
of
the
Arts
organizations
in
Boulder
provide
well
above
our
budget
class
in
this
way
and
offerings
to
the
community.
We
bring
so
much
and
really
do
receive
very
little.
Comparatively
our
Arts
organizations
are
currently
in
crisis,
while
we're
pinched
by
the
rising
costs
still
experiencing
some
pandemic
related
attendance
issues.
We
still
have
to
meet
the
demand
of
living
wages
and
exponential
increase
in
venue
costs.
BB
In
our
case,
a
venue
owned
by
the
city
of
Boulder
itself.
Many
of
us
have
to
decide
how
we
can
cut
back
in
order
to
remain
solvent.
This
is
the
time
these
Rising
venue
costs,
resonate
throughout
the
boulder
Arts
community
and
threaten
our
very
health
and
ability
to
provide
our
life-changing
and
Community
Building
programs
supporting
Arts
venue
operations
is
proven
to
be
a
great
financial
investment
for
cities
due
to
spending
and
tax
revenues
associated
with
Arts
audiences

Ask
that
you
consider
increasing
support
today
to
match
today's
needs.

Hi,
my
name
is
Kim
Smouse
I'm,
a
boulder
resident
and
a
board
member
of
Open
Studios.
Thank
you
Council
for
supporting
the
Arts
and
thank
you
to
the
office
of
arts
and
culture
for
your
excellent
work.
Boulder
Arts
organizations
provide
exemplary
programming
and
are
in
desperate
need
of
additional
funding.
In
the
last
few
years,
Open
Studios
has
faced
challenges:
fundraising
not
only
due
to
coveted
shutdowns,
but
more
recently
by
the
Marshall
fire.
Open
Studios
has
been
struggling
to
keep
our
programs
afloat.
BC
Thank
you
for
funding
the
amounts
specified
in
the
2016
Community
cultural
plan
that
the
Arts
need
more
funding.
We
are
not
out
of
the
woods
from
the
pandemic
and
coveted
relief
funding
is
no
longer
available.
Funding.
Arts
organizations
is
a
proven
success
in
Boulder,
the
Open
Studios
tour
and
Plein
Air
Art
Festival
are
both
extremely
popular
Boulder
art
events,
bringing
together
a
significant
number
of
artists
and
art
patrons
the
current
resources.
Both
events
are
executed
on
a
shoestring
with
a
group
of
Open
Studios
volunteers,
Community
donations
and
skeleton
Staffing.
BC
BC
Is
incredibly
important
to
the
health
of
our
community,
it
has
the
transformative
power
to
heal.
The
teen
and
tween
populations
in
Boulder
are
clearly
suffering
from
mental
health
and
drug
issues.
Open
Studios
has
two
programs
specifically
designed
to
reach
students
and
at-risk
teens.
The
mobile
art
lab
brings
art
making
to
community
Gatherings
and
festivals,
and
Ed
links
provides
Visual
Arts
programming
to
the
public
schools
for
free
these
programs
build
community
and
cross
barriers
of
socioeconomic
status,
race
and
age.
I
BC
I
BD
BD
This
is
a
hard
conversation
to
have,
because
we're
essentially
trying
to
put
value
on
paper
to
something
that
can't
be
fully
measured
and
that's
the
impact
of
the
Arts.
We
know
that
we
can
track
tourism
dollars.
We
can
track
job
creation,
but
what
we
can
track
is
the
moment
when
inspiration
leads
to
innovation
coming
out
of
this
pandemic.
We
are
in
a
moment
where
Innovation
is
necessary
for
us
to
navigate
the
challenges
that
we
face
in
our
communities.
BD
I
myself
am
someone
who
can
speak
directly
to
the
value
of
Art
in
supporting
mental
health
I'm
an
adult
Survivor
of
childhood
sexual
abuse,
and
it
was
through
the
Art
of
Dance.
That
I
was
able
to
reclaim
myself
that
I
was
able
to
reclaim
my
body
and
find
a
path
towards
healing
that
allowed
me
to
become
a
functional
member
of
society,
and
what
we
have
shown
recently
through
Studies
by
Mental
Health
America,
is
that
Colorado
is
currently
experiencing
some
of
the
most
severe
cases
of
mental
illness
in
the
United
States.
BD
With
that,
we
can
recognize
that
this
is
a
moment
where
we
need
Innovation.
We
need
the
Arts
to
help
those
who
are
struggling
to
find
their
personal
path
towards
healing.
Well,
the
Arts
can
help
just
to
support
us
through
our
traumas.
They
can
also
be
a
source
of
Celebration,
and
this
is
what
I
would
love
to
highlight
tonight.
BD
The
yards
are
part
of
every
major
Ceremony,
be
it
a
wedding
or
something
else,
that's
truly
spectacular
with
dance
and
music
and
is
through
the
Arts
that
were
able
to
celebrate
personally
in
a
moment
that
is
going
to
resonate
with
us
for
the
rest
of
our
lives.
I
hope
that
this
Council
will
consider
increasing
the
funding
for
the
Arts
for
the
city
of
Boulder,
so
that
we
can
continue
to
find
celebrations
that
allow
us
to
celebrate
the
progress
we
make
as
we
look
for
healing
in
this
very
complicated
time.
I
BE
City
funding
is
integral
to
keeping
classes
these
classes
free
and
making
it
available
to
everyone.
City
support
increased
our
accessibility
to
other
classes
in
Spanish,
steady
Community
programs
like
this,
have
significant
Collective
impact
and
are
a
unique
opportunity
to
mitigate
the
adverse
Health
impacts
of
social
isolation
in
older

BE
I
BF
Good
evening
and
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
and
for
your
support
for
arts
and
culture
in
the
2023
City
budget,
I'm
Kathleen,
McCormick
and
I'm,
a
member
of
the
boulder
Arts
commission,
a
proud
member
of
the
boulder
Arts
commission
I,
want
to
thank
our
arts
and
culture
staff
for
the
wonderful
job
that
they
do.
I
appreciate
your
funding
for
public
art
and
the
American
Rescue
plan
act.
BF
Funds
for
covid-19
related
impacts
on
Arts
organizations,
which
the
Arts
commission
a
couple
months
ago
used
for
Grants
to
rehire
administrators
and
artists,
employing
More
arts,
administrators
and
artists,
will
help
our
Arts
Community
recover
and
will
support
many
local
families
and
businesses.
However,
we
do
have
some
gaps
in
current
funding.
I
hope
you
will
consider
providing
at
least
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
additional
support
from
the
arpa
funds
for
critical
purposes.
Examples
of
how
this
funding
could
be
used.
BF
For
example,
192
000
would
provide
two
years
of
General
operating
support
grants
for
five
Boulder
Arts
organizations
such
as
the
nationally
recognized
Boulder
Philharmonic
and
the
boulder
ballet
which
qualified
for
but
did
not
receive
grants
in
our
three-year
2022
cycle
because
of
funding
constraints.
Another
example
would
be
a
hundred
and
eighteen
thousand
dollars
which
would
provide
rental
subsidies
for
performing
and
visual
arts
organizations
facing
acute
space,
affordability
challenges
as
well
as
youth
programs
and
artist
relief
projects.
BF
Research
shows
that
every
dollar
invested
in
the
Arts
generates
multiple
dollars
for
its
City
in
economic
impact.
A
thriving
arts
and
culture
sector
drives
residents,
workers
and
visitors
to
Boulder
stores,
restaurants
and
hotels,
and
is
critical
to
attracting
and
retaining
the
creative
Talent
needed
for
our
Boulder
businesses.
In
addition,
vibrant
arts
and
cultures
activities
are
key
to
meeting
the
city's
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
goals.
Arts
and
culture
are
the
backbone
of
a
healthy,
inclusive
and
resilient
community
and
I.
Ask
that
you
consider
more
funding
for
2023
as
a
statement
of
our
City's
values
again.
I
BG
Thank
you
very
much.
My
name
is
Travis
Laberge
I've
been
called
a
lot
worse
than
Travis
LaBarge
I'm,
the
executive
director
and
founder
of
parlando
school
of
musical
arts
parlando
has
been
providing
Outreach
in
Boulder
for
almost
20
years,
and
we've
been
offering
music
lessons
and
classes
in
the
dairy
Arts
Center
for
over
15
years,
Orlando
recently
received
the
general
operating
support
Grant
from
the
boulder
Arts
commission.
Thank
you
for
supporting
this
program
and
I
trust.
You
know
that
your
office
of
arts
and
culture
is
quite
simply
excellent.
BG
I
love
data-
and
here
are
some
I'd
like
to
share
Londo,
employs
over
50
musicians
from
Boulder
and
surrounding
communities.
We
provide
lessons
and
classes
to
over
550
weekly
students
down
from
nearly
800
pre-covered.
We
provide
tuition
assistance
to
over
100
students
per
year
and,
since
Inception
have
provided
over
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
support
to
more
than
1700
students,
including
free
lessons
for
victims
of
the
Marshall
fire,
we
also
provide
programming
for
senior
citizens,
Early
Childhood
students
and
neurodiverse
members
of
our
community.
BG
Last
year
we
worked
with
22
different
schools
in
bvsd,
DPS
and
Jeffco,
providing
support
to
over
1600
music
classes,
creating
nearly
50
000
student
interactions.
These
students
have
an
11
higher
attendance
rate.
Their
GPA
is
almost
a
full
letter
grade
higher
and
their
graduation
rate
is
24
percent
higher
compared
to
their
non-musical
peers.
Because
of
inflation.
We
made
the
decision
not
to
raise
tuition
this
year,
while
simultaneously
increasing
compensation
for
our
teachers
by
as
much
as
25
percent,
because
we
were
able
to
retain
our
staff
during
the
pandemic.
BG
We
did
not
qualify
for
the
recent
administrative
rehiring
grants
and
because
we
rent
space
at
the
Dairy
Center,
we
did
not
qualify
for
shuttered
venue
funding.
This
has
made
gos
support
all
the
more
valuable
to
parlando,
weird
city
council
to
fund
the
Gap
that
Deborah
Malden
outlined,
so
that
Arts
organizations
like
parlando
can
continue
to
contribute
to
Boulder's
artistic
educational
and
economic
vitality.
BG
B
I
mean
you
can
call
me
mayor
if
you
want
to
I'm
kidding.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
help
with
that
Brenda,
okay.
So,
let's
move
on
and
first
see
if
there
are
any
follow-up
questions
to
staff
flowing
from
the
public
hearing
public
testimony,
anyone
have
questions
to
staff
Nicole.
AC
Yeah
thanks
again
everyone
who
took
time
to
speak
to
us
tonight,
I
just
had
a
couple
questions
for
our
police
department
and
I
was
just
wondering.
There
were
a
couple
of
comments
that
folks
made
saying
that
we're
not
enforcing
the
camping
ban.
AC
Somebody
said
that
we're
not
enforcing
drug
possession
and
I
was
just
wondering
if,
if
you
could
speak
to
that,
I
think
the
other
comment
that
was
raised
was
someone
had
been
chased
with
a
knife,
and
that
was
a
situation
that
had
been
known,
but
they
were
saying
that
nothing
had
been
done
about
that.
So
I,
just
wonder
if
you
could
speak
to
that
a
little
bit
absolutely.
BH
Thank
you
for
the
question:
Steve
Redford,
Deputy,
police
chief
good
evening
and
I
think
I
got
I.
Think
there's
about
three
in
there.
I'll
try
to
address
so
the
first
one
is.
We
do
enforce
the
camping
ban
and
there
are.
There
are
separate
entities
within
the
police
department
that
deal
with
camping,
so
a
patrol
officer
out
on
patrol
May
encounter
an
unsaturation
camping
and
may
take
enforcement
action.
BH
BH
Their
goal
is
to
is
more
Outreach,
and
then
we
have
our
recently
we've
added
more
to
our
encampment
team
that
specifically
go
out
with
our
our
partners
and
do
and
do
the
cleanup
they're
there,
mostly
for
safety,
they're,
obviously
police
officers
and
will
take
action,
but
really
on
those
on
those
occasions.
The
the
majority
of
that
work
is
to
get
people
into
services,
and
things
like
that,
so
we
do
enforce
it.
I,
don't
have
the
number
of
of
summonses
in
front
of
me
that
we
have
written,
but
it
is,
it
does
get
enforced.
BH
The
second
question
there
was
a
concerning
statement
that
was
mentioned
on
the
public
call
about
an
incident
that
occurred
where
someone
was
attacked
and
they
didn't
report
that
to
the
police
and
I
will
just
say
very
clearly
is
those
instances
of
violence
we
take
very
seriously
and
traditionally,
as
you've
seen
recently,
we've
had
several
high-profile
cases
that
we
have
the
perpetrator
in
custody
very
quickly,
and
so,
if
there
is
a
narrative
out
there
that
that
nothing
will
get
done
about
that,
that
is
false.
BH
I
can
tell
you
every
day,
I'm
down
in
our
detective
Bureau,
and
it's
incredible
group
of
men
and
women
working
those
cases.
If
someone
is
physically
attacked.
We
take
that
very
seriously
and
we
will
investigate
that
to
our
fullest
potential.
We
have
a
great
partnership
with
the
District
Attorney's
office
and
we
are,
we
are
seeing
very
successful
prosecutions
of
of
those
persons,
crimes
I.
Think
drug
possession
was
your
third
question
ma'am.
So
on
the
drug
possession
we
do
enforce
drug
possession.
It
is
still
illegal.
BH
Some
of
the
comments
that
we've
we've
we've
heard
and
we've
had
conversation
with
the
community
over
is
exactly
what
recourse
we
do
have
for
drug
possession
and
in
2014
many
a
simple
possession
of
things
like
cocaine
methamphetamine.
They
were
lowered
the
the
state
legislature
lowered
possession
where
on
simple
possession
we
do
write
a
ticket
in
many
cases
now,
whereas
prior
to
that
it
would
be
a
physical
arrest
and
somebody
would
go
to
jail.
BH
In
addition
with
covid
and
some
of
the
jail
restrictions
we
just
haven't
been
able
to
even
on
more
felony
cases,
necessarily
take
people
to
jail.
Those
coveted
restrictions
at
the
jail
have
been
lessened,
and
so
we
commonly
do
make
arrests
for
drug
possession.
It
just
kind
of
depends
on
the
quantity
and
the
scenario
there.
AC
And
just
one
follow-up
question:
have
the
covid
restrictions
at
the
jail
been
lessened
or
are
they
gone
so.
BH
BI
BH
There
are
still
laws
for
drug
dealing
in
I
think
it's
100
feet
of
a
school.
That
is
something
that
obviously,
if
we
arrest
someone
selling
drugs,
we
are
we
have
in
our
in
our
toolbox.
There
isn't
an
additional
enhancement
for
somebody
that
might
just
be
using
drugs
in
and
around
the
school.
Obviously,
Insight
is
different,
but
if
someone's
nearby
a
school
and
just
you
getting
high
for
a
lack
of
a
better
term,
that
is
the
same
as
if
they
were
doing
it
out
out
here.
BI
AD
Sure,
thanks
for
the
question
so
last
or
two
weeks
ago,
we
shared
a
little
bit
of
information
of
how
the
2023
budget
Compares
in
terms
of
the
targets
within
the
community
cultural
plan.
And
then
what
we
discussed
was
the
potential
of
revisiting
the
public
health
Reserve
dollars
within
arpa
that
we've
appropriated
but
not
yet
spent.
AD
So
that
was
about
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
that
we
had
discussed
so
that
that
is
a
part
of
the
conversation
for
for
arpa
and
then
any
of
the
other
initiatives
that
were
a
part
of
tranche
3
that
we
haven't
yet
finalized.
And
so
again,
there's
other
opportunity
for
Council
feedback
and
Direction
on
how
to
spend
those
funds,
including
the
the
500
or
so
as
a
part
of
the
public
health
Reserve,
that
we
could
repurpose.
BJ
Like
so
one
of
the
comments
that
was
made
was
that
the
budget
in
the
cultural
or
the
funding
laid
out
in
the
cultural
plan
wasn't
adjusted
for
inflation.
Could
you
also
give
us
an
estimate
of
what
that
would
be
or
speak
to,
that
is
inflation
taken
into
account
and
if
not,
what
would
the
budget?
You
know?
What's
sort
of
the
difference
in
the
budget
that
we're
talking
about.
AD
Yeah
I
appreciate
that
question
and
I
I
think
that
it's
true
that
we
would,
we
would
see
quite
a
large
increase
across
the
board
if
we
were
adjusting
our
entire
budget
by
inflation
and
we
shared
a
couple
slides
I
think
it
was
all
the
way
back
at
recommended
budget,
maybe
last
week
or
two
weeks
ago,
as
well,
that
the
overall
City
budget
is
still
not
keeping
up
with
the
pace
of
inflation
compared
to
pre-pandemic
levels
and
and
so
I
think
it
just
gets
at
that.
AD
It's
really
difficult
to
put
together
a
budget
that
reflects
all
of
our
community
values
and
goals
and
Council
priorities,
and
so
we've
made
some
significant
investments
in
the
23
budget
as
it
relates
to
arts
and
not
to
diminish
the
need,
and
certainly
the
the
need
is.
Is
there,
as
we've
heard
this
evening,
and
so
I
think
part
of
that
conversation
is
just.
AD
How
do
we
approach
that
I
think
we're
recommending
that
Council
moves
forward
on
the
budget
as
proposed,
but
acknowledges
that
we
have
this
upcoming
arpa
conversation
that
we
could
could
certainly
have
additional
conversation
about
funding
and
then
there's
also
future
opportunities,
whether
it's
through
revisiting
those
targets
through
the
community
cultural
plan.
Looking
at
updating
those
funding
targets
based
on
inflation
and
I'm
sure
Matt
and
his
team
have
thoughts
on
how
to
approach
that
process
as
well.
So
I
would
say
the
conversation
would
just
be
beginning
not
not
ending
as
you're
considering
the
budget
this
evening.
AH
Comment
and
we
have
Mr
team
Thomas
who's
been
coming
here
for
a
very
long
time
and
his
questions
often
surround
BHP
and
I
was
the
representative,
the
council
representative
for
one
year,
but
I
do
think
his
question
at
least
married
some
kind
of
explanation.
He
talked
about
an
audit
process
for
BHP
and
I.
AH
Wonder
if
that's
something
that
Council
can
do,
what
type
of
oversight
do
we
have
so
I
think
that's
been
part
of
his
question
since
he's
been
coming
here
for
a
year
and
even
as
a
member
I
remember,
a
representative
I
feel
like
a
lot
of
times.
We
don't
brief
counsel,
afterward
I
mean
you've
taken
over
right
and
we
still,
you
know,
we
don't
get
updates
so
I.
Think
part
of
the
question.
Is
there
any
oversight
or.
AE
Is
there
something
we
can
do,
there's
a
Board
of
Commissioners?
That
has
oversight
and,
as
you
probably
know,
Juni
I
would
characterize
BHP
as
perhaps
no
offense
to
any
other
component
of
our
city
government,
but
they
may
well
be
the
best
run
Department
in
the
entire
city
government
it
needs
to.
We
need
to
remember,
for
instance,
that
during
the
pandemic
they
evicted
absolutely
no
one
on
the
basis
of
economic
hardship.
They.
AE
AE
It's
an
independent
process
not
conducted
either
by
our
regular
Auditors
or
by
anyone
in
the
city,
and
although
there
are
a
couple
of
insistent
voices
and
I
know
who
they
are,
and
we
know
who
they
are
through
emails,
who
have
suggested
that
there
is
something
going
on
at
BHP
that
is
untoward
I
I
would
challenge
anybody
to
go
down
there
and
talk
to
them
and
and
discover
what
that
might
be,
because
they
are
run
sensitively.
They
are
run
efficiently.
AE
AE
One
of
the
things
they're
trying
to
Grapple
with
now
is
the
fact
that
when
they
House
High
utilizers,
it
often
causes
strife
and
concern
on
the
part
of
their
neighbors
and
they're.
Trying
to
deal
with
that
and
that's
part
of
what
we're
hearing
is
is
you
know
you
see
pictures
of
units
that
are
clearly
being
used
as
chop
shops.
AE
Some
of
them
are
being
used
as
flop
houses
for
large
groups
of
people,
and
some
of
them
are
being
used
as
by
people
who
are
utilizing
meth
and
that
you
know
I
will
tell
you
that
that's
an
issue
that
is
of
great
concern.
They
are
effectively
not
insured
for
the
damages
that
come
from
meth
use
and
Remediation
costs
forty
to
fifty
thousand
dollars
per
unit.
AE
They
have
had
10
units
over
the
course
of
time
that
have
had
to
be
remediated
and
it
only
is
as
low
as
forty
to
fifty
thousand
dollars,
because
they've
been
fortunate
and
there's
been
no
collateral,
contamination
of
hallways
and
other
neighboring
units.
So
I,
you
know
I'm
fairly.
B
Yeah
I'm
afraid
that
we
might
be
getting
outside
of
the
direct
budget.
Discussion
and
I
was
wondering
if
either
you
or
it's
not
that
I
disagree
or
want
to
cut
you
off.
But
if
you
or
Juni
might
want
to
just
send
something
into
CAC,
asking
that
we
schedule
some
time
to
discuss.
I'm.
AE
I'm
happy
to
do
that
and
I
was
concluded
by
saying
you're
not
going
to
find
a
lot
of
there.
There.
Okay.
B
B
Okay,
so
more
questions
good
the
microphone
tipped
up
so
I
think
that
was
good.
Okay.
Now,
let's
open
it
up
to
discussion
on
the
whole
budget
and
at
some
point
we're
going
to
need
a
motion
in
possibly
four
parts
to
pass
a
budget
for
the
city
of
Boulder.
This
year,
who'd
like
to
kick
off
discussion
I
like
Bobby
Yates,
for
it.
BK
Thanks
well,
I
I
just
want
to
reiterate
what
we
talked
about
two
weeks
ago
and
I
think
we
started
to
talk
about
tonight.
I'll,
give
you
Matt
the
credit
for
the
idea,
but
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
support
on
Council
for
looking
at
the
arpa
funding.
BK
When
we
come
back
in
a
few
weeks,
I
think
it's
November
that
you
guys
going
to
come
back
and
talk
to
us
about
what
we
might
use
some
of
the
remaining
funds
for
and-
and
it
occurs
to
me
that
some
of
our
Industries
in
in
this
community
have
recovered
very
quickly
from
covid
others,
as
we
heard
tonight,
are
more
slow
to
recover
and
I
think
the
Arts
communities
have
been
among
those
that
have
been
very
slowly
recovered
and
that's
exactly
what
arpa
is
for
right.
BK
BK
I
know
you
guys
will
come
with
a
list,
that's
probably
longer
than
the
funds
we
have
available
and
we'll
have
to
make
some
difficult
decisions,
but
I
would
encourage
staff
when
they
do
come
back
in
November
with
some
alternatives
for
us
and
I
would
encourage
you
to
work
with
Matt
chazanski
and
the
Arts
commission
about
how
how
much
is
appropriate
and
how
those
funds
could
be
best
used
to
help
Arts
organizations
and
artists
recover
from
this
very
difficult
time
that
they've
had
over
the
last
two
or
three
years,
thanks
to
staff
in
advance
for
doing
that.
AC
This
is
just
really
quick,
but
I
had
a
chance
to
talk
with
Elizabeth
crow
in
our
HHS
recently,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
had
mentioned
kind
of
that
the
need
for
more
basic
needs
funding.
That's
basically
where
those
arba
funds
are
targeted
for
already
so
I
just
wanted
to
raise
that
to
people's
awareness
and
I,
really
encourage
everybody
to
talk
to
HHS
staff
and
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
what
some
of
the
plans
are.
Maybe
before
that
discussion,
so
I
think
it
could
be,
could
be
helpful.
AG
Thanks
Rachel,
so
a
couple
things
I
certainly
did
piggyback
on
what
we've
been
hearing,
certainly
from
the
community,
and
certainly
my
colleagues
up
here
and
as
we
discussed
two
weeks
ago,
so
I
think
sir
just
Bears
putting
it
out
there.
So
it
raises
out,
above
maybe
the
noise
as
we
go
forth
on
more
conversations
that
indeed,
we
need
to
do
more
to
support
the
Arts
and
and
I
think
outside
of
this
budget.
So
Mark
you
and
care
you
don't
need
to
sweat
I'm
like
that's,
going
to
touch
tonight's
budget.
AG
So
so
you
guys
are
feeling
safe,
you're,
not
in
the
hot
seat
on
that,
but
but
immediately
sort
of
after
as
we
deal
with
arpa
atps,
you
know
those
sorts
of
things,
I
think
is
where
we
can
really
put
some
meat
on
the
bone
to
really
support
them
and
hearing
that
the
boulder
fill
is
not
eligible
for
a
grant,
I
mean
one
of
our
long-standing
art.
Organizations
is
being
left
out
because
of
a
lack
of
funding.
AG
Is
that's
a
clear
barometer
for
us
that
we're
not
quite
hitting
the
Mark,
so
I
think
we
can.
We
can
do
better
and
we
have
the
money
to
do
so
and-
and
you
know
one
of
the
important
things
as
Bob
mentioned,
it
is
absolutely
where
arpa
is
meant
for
right.
The
Arts
Community
much
like
restaurants,
were
disproportionately
hurt
by
baikova.
AG
Think
that's
an
important
thing
for
us
to
focus
on
so
I'll
be
focusing
on
the
arpa
funds,
and
certainly
maybe
ATVs
as
we
come
up
to
to
do
that
with
regards
to
the
500
000.
That
was
mentioned
sure
that
that
that
may
have
been
previously
put
in
HHS
for
some
of
those
basic
services.
AG
But
at
the
end
of
the
day,
the
core
use
of
arpa
was,
for
those
disproportionately
impacted
communities
and
I
think
we
can
do
a
little
bit
of
both
given
that
there's
500
000
and
we
can
sort
of
help
a
few
different
groups
rather
than
putting
all
our
eggs
in
one
basket
and
I
think
that's
a
conversation
for
all
of
us
to
have
as
to
how
we
want
to
split
that
pot
up.
If
indeed,
that's
the
case.
So
thanks.
AE
Mark
Matt
mentioned
atbs,
which
leads
me
to
the
question
of
how
are
sales
taxes
trending.
Obviously
it's
a
couple
of
months
before
the
beginning
of
the
new
fiscal
year,
but
Trends
or
Trends,
and
one
source
of
funding
for
the
Arts
and
any
other
program
would
be
if
there
is
an
unanticipated
increase
in
sales
tax.
So
how
are
we
looking.
AD
Generally,
we're
looking
good
on
the
sales
tax
front.
I
would
say
that
the
process
that
we
usually
follow
for
adjustments
in
looking
at
excess
revenues
to
close
out
the
books
and
we
typically
recommend
some
one-time
use
of
funds,
so
that
would
be
the
one-time
excess
that
goes
to
the
fund
balance
in
the
general
fund.
So
that
typically
happens
in
the
spring
time
frame
that
your
second
adjustment
of
this
year
will
come
as
a
part
of
the
arpa
conversation.
So
I
will
provide
all
of
that
information
as
we
close
out.
2022
I.
Think.
AD
BI
AD
Are
you
referring
to
lease
spaces
for
for
Arts
organizations
yeah,
so
I
know
that
we
talked
a
bit
potentially
about
looking
at
arpa
or
other
sources
of
funds.
Ccrs
is
another.
So
as
we
look
at
the
non-profit
support
program,
it's
also
worth
mentioning
that
council
did
approve
that
General
framework
as
well
Matt.
Do
you
want
to
add
to
that.
AG
BL
Exercises
match
zanski
with
the
office
of
arts
and
culture.
I
just
want
to
add
that
we
do
have
a
program
that
addresses
affordability,
Matt.
BL
Guilty
Matt
justanski
with
the
office
of
arts
and
culture
I
did
want
to
mention
that
we
do
have
a
program
with
the
boulder
Arts
commission
grants
to
address
affordability
of
venues,
rental
assistance,
grants
and
that's
been
a
very
well
used
program.
And
so
it
is
something
that's
in
discussion
and
something
that's
going
to
be
extremely
important
for
the
next
cultural
plan,
so
that
discussion
will
start
up
next
year
as
well.
B
Foreign
good
question:
okay:
well,
let's
see
if
somebody
would
like
to
make
a
motion
then,
and
we
can
discuss
oh
okay
mark,
read
them
all
or
staff.
Do
we
need
to
what
do
we
need
to
read
here?
B
AA
AE
O
BK
AE
I
will
move
the
various
motions
that
are
set
forth
in
our
agenda
for
this
evening,
including
adopting
ordinance
8535
and
the
three
following
Provisions
that
are
set
forth
therein
to
adopt
our
2023
budget.
AE
Yes,
very
briefly,
I
think
it's
a
well-balanced
budget.
I
think
it
is
addressing
a
number
of
critical
needs.
AE
B
AC
Thank
you
just
gonna
explain
myself.
First
I
just
want
to
say
thanks
to
all
the
Departments
and
all
the
work
that
you
all
put
in
over
the
last
two
weeks
to
begin
these
discussions
about
how
to
align
our
cleanup
strategy
with
our
overall
homelessness
approach.
Just
really
appreciate
that
that
was
I
know
a
lot
of
work
in
talking
with
the
team
from
utilities
we're
really
doing
a
lot
on
our
trash
management
approach.
AC
That's
aligned
with
what
I
would
consider
best
practices
around
trust
building,
especially
and
coming
up
with
some
Innovative
and
creative
strategies
that
keep
our
public
spaces
safe
and
accessible
for
all.
The
proposed
approach
to
metrics
and
Alignment
across
departments
will
I
think
help
highlight
these
successes,
and
one
of
the
things
I've
been
most
impressed
by
is
how
the
trash
cleanup
folks
and
utilities
have
worked
to
build
relationships
and
trust
with
people
who
are
living
in
our
public
spaces.
They're.
AC
Creating
a
strategy
for
trash
management
that
focuses
on
harm
reduction
and
coexistence
and
I
appreciate
that
they're,
giving
out
sharks
containers
for
a
needle
disposal.
They're
teaching
people
which
areas
of
our
public
spaces
are
most
at
risk
from
flood
and
they're
involving
the
homeless
community
and
trash
pickup
I,
see
our
utilities
department,
elevating
lived
experience
and
giving
people
who
have
experience
with
homelessness
a
seat
at
the
problem-solving
table
and
not
just
in
a
way
that
checks
boxes,
they're,
really
treating
people
with
lived
experience
as
true
partners
and
leaders
in
this
work.
AC
It's
commendable
and
something
that
I
hope
will
emulate
in
a
lot
of
different
departments,
still
going
to
vote.
No,
because
I'm
still
left
with
a
concern
that
our
camping
van
is
not
the
right
approach
to
helping
people
exit
homelessness
and
creating
the
safety
that
all
of
us
want.
With
next
year's
investment,
we
will
have
spent
six
million
dollars
on
the
safe
and
managed
basis
program
and
I.
Don't
have
any
evidence
that
this
investment
has
moved
the
needle
on
addressing
the
fundamental
problem
of
homelessness.
That's
creating
the
need
for
this
program.
AC
We
put
a
lot
of
Staff
time
into
ticketing
people
or
threatening
people
with
tickets
and
then
moving
them
around
in
a
punitive
way.
When
the
need
continues
to
outpace
our
service
capacity.
We
don't
have
the
permanent
housing,
Mental,
Health,
Services
and
Addiction
Services
needed
to
make
a
dent
in
homelessness.
The
proposed
budget
commits
us
to
spending
more
money
to
enforce
an
ordinance
that
has
no
indicators
of
success
and
that
has
not
moved
the
needle
on
homelessness
in
our
community.
AC
Research
shows
that
camping
Bans
are
a
failed
approach
to
homelessness,
because
when
we
disincentivize
people
from
letting
service
providers
know
where
they
are
we're
disrupting
their
connection
with
services
and
making
Services
harder
to
access,
we
all
want
to
end
homelessness
in
our
city,
but
we
don't
have
the
regional
state
and
federal
support
that
we
need
to
achieve
this
goal.
I
want
to
see
us
focus
our
limited
funding
to
move
people
from
encampment
settings
in
a
way
that
connects
them
with
housing,
opportunities
and
other
services.
AC
The
situation
that
housed
in
a
house,
workers,
residents
and
students
are
experiencing
right
now
due
to
homelessness,
is
unacceptable
period,
but
investing
in
an
encampment
cleanup
solution
that
involves
a
camping
van
component
is
not
one
I
can
support.
We've
had
a
ban
in
place
for
six
years
now.
How
has
the
encampment
situation
better
today
than
in
2016?
AC
Don't
the
impacts
of
encampments
seem
worse
today,
we
need
to
look
at
a
different
solution
to
keep
everyone
safe
and
I.
Know
I'm
in
the
minority
at
least
I
think
I
do,
but
I
do
look
forward
to
seeing
more
Innovations
with
our
utilities
team,
more
alignment
with
our
homelessness
strategy
and
some
of
these
metrics
of
success
in
the
coming
months.
Thanks
again
to
everybody
who
worked
so
hard
to
put
this
together,.
BK
I
think
it's
I
think
this
is
my
seventh
Budget
on
city,
council
and
I.
Think
it's
a
tribute
to
the
great
work
that
staff
did
not
just
the
two
of
you
but
I.
Think
all
your
partners
throughout
all
the
organizations
over
the
last
six
or
nine
months,
I
mean
I.
Think
you
guys
like
start
tomorrow
morning
on
the
next
2024
budget.
Don't
you
it's
just
a
it's
a
year-long
process
and
I
think
as
I
reflect
back
on
the
the
six
prior
budgets
that
I've
worked
on
on
Council.
BK
This
is
the
one
that's
probably
received
the
least
amount
of
of
input.
We
got
some
good
input
tonight,
I'm,
not
saying
that
we
didn't
have
input
and
by
my
account
there
was
a
nine
nine
people
spoke
tonight
on
on
the
on
the
increasing
the
funding
for
the
encampment
cleanup,
which
is
what
staff
had
recommended
and
six
another
16
people
spoke
on,
increasing
funding
for
the
Arts,
which
I
think
we've
talked
about.
Well,
it
won't
be
in
this
specific
budget.
BK
I
think
you
heard
from
several
members
of
us
that
we
would
like
to
hear
about
how
we
might
do
that,
at
least
on
a
one-off
basis
in
the
arpa
funding.
Next,
when
we
talk
about
next
month
and
so
I
think
the
fact
that
we
that
there
was
so
little
commentary
outside
of
those
two
areas
is
probably
an
indication
that
you
guys
did
a
really
really
good
job
of
putting
the
other
a
budget
that
the
community
supports.
BK
I
mean
I,
didn't
hear
six
areas
or
12
areas
or
20
areas
of
ejection
I
just
heard
two
areas,
both
of
which
I
think
were
actually
addressing
today.
One
were
I
think.
Well,
it
depends
on
what
the
majority
does
tonight,
but
I
think
the
staff
recommendation
which,
which
the
majority
of
council
May
support
in
increasing
the
funding
for
academic
cleanups,
that's
responsive
to
what
the
community
has
asked
for
and
I
think
we're
being
responsive
to
the
Arts
community
and
what
they're?
Looking
for
so
I
I
feel
good
about
this
budget
I'm
going
to
support
it.
BK
I'm,
going
to
and
I
really
commend
the
finance
team,
but
also
the
the
entire
city
staff
that
had
a
hand
in
the
in
the
budget
in
putting
together
a
budget
that
I
think
the
community
can
Embrace
and
I
think
is
Council
will
and
should
embrace.
Thank
you.
BJ
Foreign
thanks
Rachel
I'm
gonna
Echo.
Many
of
the
comments
that
Nicole
made
I
agree
that
this
is
generally
a
well-balanced
budget
and
I
appreciate
all
the
effort
that
went
into
this
I
I
do
hear
a
lot
of
the
public
concern
over
Public
Safety,
I,
I
Bike
by
Boulder
High
almost
every
day,
but
I've
seen
a
an
improvement
in
this
area.
I
think
that
the
safe
and
managed
spaces
team
is
doing
difficult,
work
in
a
very
compassionate
manner
and
yet
I.
BJ
It
was
mentioned
earlier
that
budgets
are
moral
documents
and
I
cannot
support
the
expansion
of
this
team
when
I
don't
see
it.
Solving
the
underlying
issues
that
create
this
need.
I'm
stuck
I'm,
skeptical
that
this
increased
funding
will
make
students
feel
safer
and
I'm
skeptical
that
it
will
reduce
some
of
the
other
inconveniences
that
we
have
downtown
related
to
people
being
to
not
having
their
basic
needs
met
and
for
this
reason,
I
will
not
support
this
budget.
Thank
you.
AH
Yeah,
thank
you
for
that
and
I
think
I.
Think
hearing
from
Nicole
and
also
Lauren
broke
my
heart
because
I
will
be
supporting
the
budget
today,
but
I
hear
everything
that
you
said
and
and
I
know
you
it's
coming
from
a
place
of
trying
to
bring
everyone
to
the
table
and
ensuring
that
everyone
have
a
fair
shake.
So
I
really
appreciate
your
commentaries
and
and
I've
been
working
with
the
budget
team
as
well.
AH
For
almost
since
I've
been
on
Council
for
almost
two
years
now
and
I've
seen
the
work
you
know,
I've
seen
the
sausage
made
behind
closed
door
and
I've
seen
all
the
hard
work
that's
being
put
into
this
and
and
I
do
think
it's
it's
it's
a
good
and
decent
budget,
but
I'm
hearing
where
Nicole
is
coming
from
and
where
Lauren
is
coming
from
and
the
need
for
improvement
and
I
wonder.
Maybe
this
Improvement
can
still
be
part
of
the
process
moving
forward.
AH
BI
I
agree:
Lauren.
There
definitely
has
been
an
improvement
as
I
ride
my
bike
around.
It's
definitely
looking
the
the
team,
Sam's
team
is
doing
a
really
good
job
took
my
weekly
ride
today
in
Goose,
Creek
Tunnel
was
filled
with
furniture
and
it
was
dark
and
I
could
not
see
my
way
through
that
tunnel.
It
was
just
wait,
so
there
was
way
too
many
obstacles
obstructions
and
then
on
Foothills
Parkway,
there's
a
giant
amount
of
trash
sitting
there.
BI
If
you
ever
rode
from
from
Pearl
Street
down
back
to
the
Boulder
Creek
path,
you
just
have
to
look
and
see
a
growing,
a
growing
pile
of
trash.
So
I'm,
not
the
team
is
doing
a
great
job,
but
I
feel
like
there's
plenty
more
to
do
to
keep
our
city
environmentally
friendly
and
to
keep
from
degradation
environmentally.
So
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
increase
in
the
trash
because
I
know
it's
not
going
to
it's
not
the
purpose
of
it
is
isn't
too.
BI
Isn't
too,
and
homelessness
is
really
to
pick
up
the
trash
so
that
we
can
have
it
environmentally
clean
City?
But
I
do
appreciate
what
you
guys
say
because
really
honestly,
the
underlying
Solutions
are.
We
have
to
do
something
about
mental
health
and
we
have
to
do
something
about
substance,
abuse
issues
and
we
don't
without
the
county,
pitching
in
we're
just
not
going
to
get
anywhere.
So
we
need
to
have
that
meeting
for
sure
with
them
and
get
them
to
see
things
our
way.
BI
So
again,
I
go
back
to
my
very
terrible
metaphor
about
pizza.
Pies
in
the
budget
was
such
a
bad
metaphor,
but
I'm
going
to
bring
it
up
yet
again
that
that
budget
was
so
great
because
it
just
gave
some
things
for
everything.
It
was
a
lot
of
different
topics
on
that
Pizza
Pizza
Pie
budget.
That
I
appreciate.
B
AG
I
am
I,
I,
hear
exactly
what
Nicole
and
Lauren
are
saying,
and
they
they
bring
up
good
points
about
what
has
to
be
done
and
where
we
can
do
better
with
regards
to
our
unhoused,
but
but
where
I
I
quickly
differ
is
objecting
to
one
tenth
of
one
percent
of
a
half
a
billion
dollar
budget,
and
using
that
as
justification,
to
say
no
to
all
the
good
that
the
rest
of
that
money
does
so
so
that
I
I'm
struggling
with
how
to
reconcile
that.
BK
AG
Hopefully,
in
time
we
can
all
work
together
to
figure
out
how
we
can
move
forward
with
that,
but,
in
light
of
this
budget,
I
will
be
supporting
it
because
of
all
the
good
that
it
does
and
I
see
a
bunch
of
department
heads
out
in
the
audience
and
I
just
want
to
commend
to
each
and
every
one
of
them
not
just
for
the
work
and
the
budget,
but
be
willing
to
adapt
to
this
Council
and
the
Dynamics
that
we've
brought
forward
and
the
thoughts
that
we've
had
and
adjust
in
very
short
time
and
so
I
think
that
speaks
to
staff.
AG
It
speaks
to
their
work
and
certainly
how
that's
folded
in
so
for
such
a
large
budget
and
a
large
city.
That's
that's!
That's
a
lot
of
agility
in
a
lot
in
in
with
a
lot
of
moving
parts,
so
credit
to
all
of
you.
So
thank
you
for
that
and
so
yeah
I
will
be
supporting
this,
but
I
do
think
largely.
AG
We
have
to
think
about
what
is
more
deeply
rooted,
where
we
can't
get
behind
a
budget
to
support
the
function
of
the
city
and
and
really
sink
into
what
those
issues
are,
because
a
budget
like
this
with
this
process
should
be
unanimously
supported.
So
hopefully
we
can
reconcile
those
differences,
but
I
will
be
supporting
it.
B
Thanks
Matt
I'll
just
add
that
I
I
appreciate
that
and
and
I
remember,
Jane
brought
again
I
think
used
to
say
this
is
a
a
document
that
that
does
express
your
values.
This
is
the
embodiment
of
a
city's
values
and
I,
agree
and
respect
that
and
and
don't
think
we're
nailing
our
homelessness
strategy
and
don't
think
it's
helpful
to
Bob
people
around
and
we
have
not
expressed
a
different
value
as
a
council,
then
we
have
a
camping
ban,
so
I
think
it's
a
it's
a
difficult
thing.
B
There
are
a
lot
of
things
like
there's
some
things
in
the
transportation
department.
I
disagree
with
there
are
things
I,
don't
I,
don't
I
would
I
would
eliminate
single-family
zoning
in
a
lot
of
Boulder,
and
so
we're
going
to
improve
budget
for
planning.
That's
going
to
be
implementing
things
that
I,
don't
necessarily
agree
with
so
I
think
where
I
would
put
the
energy
to
doing
something
different
with
camping.
B
Is
the
midterm
Retreat
or
are
asking
for
for
us
to
look
at
it
separately,
but
as
as
as
it
is
now,
I
think
the
budget's
a
a
difficult
place
to
to
have
a
large
camping
ban,
discussion
and
and
I.
Don't
know
how
we
would
get
there
in
in
this
evening
to
to
accomplish
that.
So
I
appreciate
and
agree
with
a
lot
of
the
concerns
and
and
think
that
we
should
look
harder
at
that
and
and
it
should
be
an
articulated
priority
and
value
if
we,
if
we
want
to
move
forward
in
that
way.
B
So
with
that
I
think
I
will
say
it's
time
for
a
vote
and
turn
to
Elisha.
Unless,
please,
let
me
know
if
I've
missed
something
Christmas
Chuck.
C
AE
BK
C
C
Thank
you.
Yes,
ma'am.
You
ready
to
read
the
second
public
Hearing
in
all
right,
that
is
item
5B.
The
second
reading
and
consideration
of
a
motion
to
adopt
ordinance,
8547
amending
chapter
11-1,
water,
utility,
BRC
1981,
to
implement
policies
and
procedures
in
the
event
of
a
drought
and
setting
forth
related
details.
B
C
B
AA
Yeah,
we
get
folks
settled
here
with
a
little
change
out,
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
over
first
to
Joe
tadayucci,
our
director
of
utilities,
who's
going
to
kick
this
presentation
off
when
they're
ready.
BM
Is
it
on,
and
can
you
hear
me
sounds
good,
so
yeah
thanks
Chris
I'm,
Joe
tediuchi,
director
of
utilities-
and
this
is
a
second
reading
for
ordinances
associated
with
the
city's
drought
plan.
BM
You
might
recall
in
early
September,
we
put
together
an
information
item
on
water
resilience,
and
this
plan
is
definitely
connected
to
resilience
and
how
we
think
about
climate
change
and
with
more
frequent
natural
disasters
like
droughts.
This
updating
this
plan
will
position
us
well
for
that.
So
it's
a
very
important
operational
plan
and
the
the
approval
of
it
is
actually
under
the
city,
manager's
approval
and
what
the
plan
does
is.
BM
It
sets
forth
procedures
that
we
would
use
to
implement
restrictions,
or
things
like
that
if
we
found
ourselves
in
a
drought
and
so
council's
role
related
to
the
drought
plan,
is
a
approval
of
the
amendments
to
ordinances
associated
with
the
plan,
and
while
the
plan
is
really
an
operational
type
of
plan
that
deals
with
the
mechanics
of
implementing
water
use
restrictions,
we
also
know
that
there
is
a
lot
of
public
interest
in
the
multi-year
drought
on
the
Colorado
River
and
which
is
one
of
Boulder's.
BM
Three
water
sources
and
there's
also
a
lot
of
interest
in
water
conservation
and
the
drought
plan
again
is
an
operational
plan.
It's
it's
not
the
planning
document
to
deal
directly
with
those
things,
but
Kim
will
touch
on
in
her
presentation
how
we're
monitoring
and
addressing
those
items,
and
so
Kim
Hutton,
is
here
with
me.
She
is
our
water
resources,
manager
and
she'll.
She's
got
a
real
brief
presentation.
Five
or
six
slides,
I.
BM
Think
and
she'll
give
an
overview
of
the
plan
and
then
the
last
thing
I'll
mention
before
turning
it
over
to
her
is
maybe
a
month
ago
you
saw
the
Flood
Master
Plan
and
heard
about
the
how
the
racial
Equity
work
was
integrated
into
that
plan.
This
is
another
planning
document
where
we
have
done
that
and
where
we
have
realized.
We've
previously
relied
on
on
price
triggers
that
maybe
excluded
certain
people,
and
so
we
Revisited
that
and
and
thought
about
that
in
the
update
of
this
plan.
So
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Kim.
AL
BN
BN
We
go
as
Joe
mentioned.
The
drought
plan
is
an
operations
plan
and
it
provides
guidance
for
recognizing
droughts
that
will
affect
the
city's
water
supply
and
also
responding
to
a
drought
or
droughts
in
such
a
way
that
we
can
ensure
water
availability
to
protect
Public,
Safety,
Health
and
Welfare.
The
drought
plan,
in
conjunction
with
the
city
code,
which
you're
considering
tonight
and
a
city
manager
rule,
provides
a
framework
for
making
a
formal
drought
declaration
and
implementing
drought
response
measures.
BN
So
our
response
to
Drought
is
a
staged
response
and
what
that
means,
depending
on
the
severity
of
the
drought,
classified
the
classification
of
the
drought,
different
water
demand,
reduction
goals
and
response
strategies
will
be
implemented.
BN
So
as
an
example
in
a
serious
drought
which
we
call
drought
alert
stage,
one
we
may
seek
up
to
a
20
reduction
in
water
use
by
placing
limitations
on
Lower
priority
water
outdoor
water
uses,
such
as
watering
Lawns
and
in
more
severe
droughts.
We
may
seek
additional
water
savings
through
implementing
different
response
measures.
BN
So
how
do
we
decide
which
water
uses
to
maintain
or
to
limit
during
a
drought?
It's
done
through
these
guiding
principles.
We
developed
these
guiding
principles
during
the
update
process
through
which,
which
included
both
internal
and
external
engagement,
and
these
guiding
principles
help
us
prioritize
decisions
related
to
water
use.
During
times
when
water
supply
is
limited.
BN
BN
The
primary
focus
in
drought
response
would
be
reducing
outdoor
water
use
and
the
reason
for
that
is
outdoor
water
use
tends
to
be
more
discretionary
than
other
water
uses,
Indoor
Water
use.
In
addition,
we
can
really
see
more
there's
more
savings
potential
in
outdoor
water
use
and
we
can
achieve
these.
These
water
savings
goals
through
a
variety
of
means,
including
education
and
Outreach,
water
budget
modifications,
modifications
to
rates,
applying
surcharges
and
also
implementing
water
use
limitations.
BN
You
know
how
the
The
Guiding
principles
tie
back
into
these
is
those
top
two
categories:
education
and
Outreach,
and
maybe
modifications
to
budgets
or
rates
we
would.
We
would
Implement
some
considerations,
Equity
considerations
in
in
those
before
we
actually
do.
Anything
we'd
also
reflect
back
on
the
racial
Equity
instrument
that
we
developed
through
this
process
to
inform
some
of
the
our
approaches
to
to
those
measures
and
then
within
water
use
limitations
in
itself.
There
there
are,
how
do
we
prioritize
even
in
the
outdoor
sector,
how
we're
reducing
water
use.
BN
BN
What
it,
what
it's
doing
is
it
shows
kind
of
the
options
of
drought,
response
measurement
measures
that
we
can
draw
from
when
we're
trying
to
achieve
these
water
use.
Reductions
and
I
have
an
excerpt
right
here
to
to
help
you
out.
So
during
a
drought,
we've
got
two
lines:
there,
you're
the
category
being
existing
irrigated
turf,
grass
or
Lawns,
and
annual
flowers
and
existing
trees.
So
not
new
trees.
BN
So
so
that
was
my
summary
of
the
drought
plan,
and
this
slide
is
just
a
summary
of
the
the
process
that
we
are
going
through
to
update
the
plan.
We've
been
working
on
the
update
for
the
last
two
years:
we've
included
RAB
internal
stakeholder
and
Community
engagement
and
I
mentioned
this
briefly.
We
also
used
the
racial
Equity
instrument
to
develop
an
Adaptive
approach
to
Drought
response
implementation.
BN
That's
my
quick
overview
of
the
draw
plan.
Joe
mentioned
these
other
water
supply
issues
that
may
be
of
interest,
there's
a
lot
of
attention
in
the
media
about
these
three
issues
and
they
are
not
covered
in
the
drought
plan.
So
we
just
wanted
to
take
this
opportunity
to
make
a
plug
for
them
in
the
work
that
we're
doing
around
them.
BN
Second,
there's
been
a
lot
of
attention
on
the
drought
on
the
Colorado
River.
Lately
the
city
receives
about
one-third
of
its
annual
water
supply
or
drinking
water
supply
from
the
Colorado
River,
through
projects
operated
by
the
Northern
Colorado
Water
Conservancy
District,
and
we
are
monitoring
the
situation
on
the
Colorado
River
and
have
options
to
manage
a
reduction
of
that
Source
if
need
be,
and
then,
finally,
while
the
drought
plan
addresses
short
term
management
of
water
use,
long-range
management
is
done
through
water
conservation.
BN
Every
seven
years
we
update
a
water
efficiency
plan
and
that
plan
describes
water
use
and
efficiency
goals
and
informs
our
water
conservation
program.
We
are
kicking
off
the
the
update.
This
fall
to
that
water
efficiency
plan
with
a
Target
completion
date
of
the
end
of
2023.,
and
we
are
looking
forward
to
working
with
RAB
and
the
community
on
that
as
well.
Thank
you.
BJ
Thank
you
so,
as
this
mentioned
in
some
stages
of
the
drought
restriction,
there's
we're
trying
to
get
people
to
not
do
new
Landscaping
because
of
the
watering
requirements.
How
will
this
for
certain
kinds
of
building
permits,
Landscaping
standards
are
required
and
often
are
have
to
be
in
past
inspection
before
building
occupancy
is
allowed.
It
does
this.
How
would
that
affect
those
kinds
of
requirements.
BN
Yeah
I
I,
don't
know
that
we've
fully
developed
new
Landscaping
requirements.
We
understand
not
only
that
part
of
it
is
code.
So
we,
if
we
wanted
to
make
some
adjustments
to
that,
we
would
have
to
be
changing
code
as
well,
but
also
recognizing
that
without
planting
you've
got
a
potential
for
a
dust
bowl.
You
know
a
Barren
land,
so
those
are
discussions,
we've
had
about
how
to
address
it
and
that
we
will
continue
those
conversations
with
our
planning
department.
BN
B
I'm
going
to
colloquy
on
that
and
then
turn
to
Matt
on
the
same
part
of
the
memo
about
new
landscape
installations.
It
talks
about
watering
restrictions
on
new
landscape
installations.
Is
there?
Are
there
also
restrictions
on
existing
landscaping,
or
is
it
just
targeting
you,
the
the
it
says,
imposing
temporary
restrictions
on
new
landscape
installation,
so
you
can't
install
them
and
then
watering
restrictions
on
the
irrigation
of
new
landscape
installations,
as
deemed
appropriate
by
city
manager,
yeah.
BN
So
I
think
in
terms
of
new
plantings
that
would
get
at
kind
of
the
seasonality
of
it
and
can
anything
wait
to
a
to
a
better
period.
Wellness.
BN
If
we
are
making
restrictions
on
lawn
watering,
we
could
have
an
exception
for
new
plantings
and
so
that
there
would
be
some
weird
to
promote
survival
of
new
plantings.
B
AG
Thank
you,
Rachel
well,
for
one
I
I
like
that
we're
Forward
Thinking
drought
is
a
inevitability
for
where
we
are,
and
so
I
think
this
is
a
really
important
thing
to
do
and
I
like
the
changes
where
we're
at
one
thing
that
this
conversation,
sort
of
begs
is
a
little
bit
like
Forward
Thinking
in
terms
of
are
there
conversations
about.
AG
You
know
ongoing
and
permanent
code
changes
that
get
at
the
conservation
now
ahead
of
having
to
then
be
declaring
any
sort
of
stages
of
drought,
and
so
we
can
kind
of
get
ahead
of
the
storm
more
or
less
I.
Think
is.
The
is
really
where
it's
at
is.
You
know,
are
things
regarding
you
know,
codes
around
xeriscape
I
mean
what
are
we
doing?
AG
What
are
we
doing
proactively
before
we
start
issuing
a
stage
thing
so
that
when
we
do
get
to
a
drought,
we're
more
resilient
at
the
time
that
we
arrive
at
that
drought?
So
that's
what
I'm
kind
of
wondering
is?
How
do
we
set
the
runway
so
that
when
we
do
get
into
a
drought,
we're
in
the
best
shape
possible
with
regards
to
some
of
that
conservation
stuff
and
then
I
have
a
different
question.
Yeah.
BN
And
I
think
that
that's
a
mix
of
both
our
long
term
planning,
as
well
as
our
water
conservation
program,
so
long-term
planning
we're
looking
at
under
build
out
conditions.
Various
climate
scenarios
can
we
meet
our
demands
with
our
existing
supplies
and
if
not,
what
do
we
need
to
do
to
change
that?
Do
we
build
out
the
supply
or
do
we
reduce
demand?
BN
So
those
conversations
are
happening
on
that
level
and
then,
with
in
terms
of
the
efficiency
plan
that
that's
kind
of
the
efficiency
plan
which
I
mentioned
we're
starting
this
year,
we'll
take
a
closer
look
at
what
are
our
demands
and
I?
The
conversation
that
you
just
you
think
that
that
you
would
like
to
happen
will
be
happening
through
the
efficiency
planning
process.
BN
What
can
we
do
now
to
meet
some
reduction
goals?
Target
reduction
goals
term
in
terms
of
overall
water
use,
long-range
reductions,
which
could
include
code
changes.
Landscaping
requirements
are
a
big
part
of
that.
So
that's
where
that
would
happen.
The
Forum
would
be
the
efficiency
plan.
AG
I
appreciate
that
my
second
question
kind
of
goes
in
a
similar
Direction,
but
references
sort
of
the
fact
that
one
third
of
our
water
comes
from
a
basin
that
is
virtually
evaporating
before
our
eyes,
and
so
you
know,
obviously
you
know
the
comments
is
well.
We
need
to
address
that,
if
need
be,
I'm,
not
a
water
expert,
but
I
would
say
that
that
we
we
need
to
I
mean
we're
already
seeing
California
take
a
cut
on
their.
G
AG
Million
acre
feet
that
they're
guaranteed
in
the
Colorado
River
pact,
so
we're
already
seeing
the
massive
Cuts
now
I
don't
want
to
have
that
conversation
about
water
rights
here,
because
that's
obviously
not
the
place
for
it,
but
I,
but
I
do
think
again
from
a
resiliency
perspective.
AG
BN
I'm
I'm,
not
do
you
want
to
answer
this?
One
I'm,
not
sure
that
of
what
of
council's
role
in
this
the
efficiency
plan,
it
may
be
approval.
BM
Yeah
and
I'm,
not
okay,
I
turned
my
mic
on
not
off
that's
good.
Just
to
just
to
reiterate
what
Kim
was
just
saying.
The
the
the
land
use
questions
are
great
questions
and
the
the
efficiency
plan,
and
then
you
you
just
approved
the
Flood
Master
Plan.
We
have
two
other
utilities,
water
and
and
Wastewater
we'll
have
future
Master
plans
or
whatever
we're
going
to
call
them
in
the
future,
and
those
are
the
places
that
we
will
look
at
those
things
and.
AJ
AE
I'm
reading
this
ordinance
correctly,
it
seems
to
me
that
the
only
body
that
that's
not
really
involved
in
this
process
is
the
city
council
this.
This
is
an
ordinance
of
a
do.
I
correctly
understand
that
this
is
an
ordinance
that
that
grants
a
great
deal
of
discretionary
power
to
the
city
manager
without
any
approval,
At
All
by
the
elected,
because.
AE
I
mean
am
I
wrong
on
that
I
see
a
provision
that
says
after
the
Declaration
will
be
notified.
Even
during
the
pandemic.
When
we
granted
emergency
Powers,
it
was
pursuant
to
an
authorization
by
the
the
elected
legislative
body
of
of
Boulder.
Why.
AE
Doesn't
apply
to
us
because
I
don't
think
it's
going
to
happen
in
the
next
year,
but
it
applies
to
a
future.
Council
and
I
am
very
reluctant
to
at
least
have
a
basic
approval
of
the
Declaration,
because
people
sitting
here
or
sitting
here
in
a
couple
of
years
are
people
who've
been
elected.
To
do
this,
and-
and
you
know,
we've
we've
done
very
well
with
a
a
model
of
weak
Council,
Strong,
City
Manager,
but
I.
AA
Mark
I
appreciate
your
question
and
I
would
look
to
Joe
to
see
if
he
or
if
Kim
knows
some
of
the
history
around
why
that
construct
is
created,
the
same,
the
way
that
it
is
I'm
not
sure,
I
know
that
history,
but
they're
nodding
so
I.
BM
I
can
take
a
crack
at
that
I
think
it's
really
because
it's
it's
operations
and
and
it's
an
important
operational
decision
that
we
would
need
to
make.
But
honestly
I
I,
would
never
see
a
scenario
where
we
would
staff
would
just
go
into
a
vacuum
and
and
make
a
major
decision
like
that
and
not
bring
the
council
along
and
and
and
advise
and
get
feedback
on.
What
we're
doing.
I.
AE
AA
In
my
understanding,
that's
the
way
the
construct
is
set
up
but
I
think,
as
as
Joe
mentioned
a
lot
of
the
there's,
many
things
that
the
city
does
from
an
operational
standpoint
and
when
there
are
those
big
operational
decisions
there
are.
There
is
typically
then
conversation
here
with
Council
to
discuss
that
further,
so
I
I.
G
AA
The
concern
and
and
I
and
and
I
don't
think
it's
there
and
it's
not
set
up
as
a
construct
of
anything
of
of
lack
of
trust
or
or
about
power.
I
think
it's
really
about
trying
to
focus
that
balance
of
the
operational
pivot
that
an
or
we
would
need
to
make
as
a
as
an
organization
from
a
water
supply
standpoint.
So
Theresa
I,
don't
know
if
there's
anything
else
to
add
from.
AB
You
know
I'll
get
a
little
bit
down
to
brass
tacks
here,
which
is
what
Joe
said
but
said
very
nicely.
This
is
a
separation
of
powers
issue,
and
this
is
vested
with
the
city
manager
as
an
operational
issue,
and-
and
so
that's
that's
why
it
appears
this
way,
and
so
the
city
manager
can
exercise
the
discretion
to
consult
counsel
and
certainly
that's
the
practice.
AE
AE
I,
don't
have
a
problem
with
with
the
scope
that
we're
giving
the
city
manager
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
with
the
aggressiveness
with
which
the
city
manager
is
permitted
to
act,
but
that
act
should
be
pursuant
to
Council
authorization.
This
this
is.
AE
B
B
Maybe
to
my
colleagues
that
was
okay
by
me,
like
Jane,
you
know,
one
person
was
able
to
quickly
make
a
a
decision
and
also
she
took
a
lot
of
public
heat
for
it,
and
you
would
hate
for
council
members
to
be.
You
know
needing
to
respond
to
an
emergency
drought
situation
and
being
tugged
by
voters
in
a
way
that
I
think
city
managers
are
a
bit
insulated
from,
so
the
question
to
staff
is
and,
and
then
I'll
turn
to
Juni
is
this.
Is
this
like
the
the
emergency
Health
protocols?
B
Is
that
what
you're
talking
about
Teresa
in
terms
of
the
administrative
separation
of
powers
or.
AB
BM
BM
AE
I
hear
you,
but
it
this
is
not
a
question
of
weeks
and
months.
This
is
a
question
of
a
week.
Come
to
us.
You
tell
us
that
you're
going
to
declare
a
drought
emergency.
If
you
want,
you
can
tell
us
what
you
want
to
do
in
that
drought,
emergency
and
and
ask
for
the
council
to
support
it
that
that's
that's
sort
of
our
job.
AE
B
Mark
I'm
going
to
suggest:
maybe
you
will
want
to
make
a
a
counter
motion
when
we
have
a
moment
for
motions
on
this
and
propose
that
change
Junie,
do
you
still
have
a
calicoy.
AH
What
is
huge,
the
usual
standards
in
as
part
of
this
process
in
other
cities
or
I
mean
I
understand
where
Mark
is
coming
from
again
we
are
the
legislative
body,
but
at
the
same
time
we
don't
want
to
slow
things
down,
knowing
if
there's
an
emergency
situation,
and
we
also
want
to
ensure
that
the
city
manager
can
do
her
job
that,
if
that's
her
job,
why
take
it
away
from
her,
but
I
would
imagine
part
of
it
would
require
that
you
know
she
walk
with
us
as
part
of
the
process,
because
Jane
has
done
the
work.
AH
BN
I'm
gonna
look
to
lay
Layla
is
a
project
manager
on
this
one
just
to
confirm
what
I'm
saying,
but
we
did
an
assessment
of
what
other
communities
are
doing
and
I
think
there's
a
mix
of
approval
processes.
Is
that
fair
to
say
Layla?
B
B
Larson
Shayna
Larson
come
on
down
if
you're
still
here
does
not
look
promising.
So
we've
also
won
virtual
speaker
and
maybe
Shayna
also
is
online
Brenda.
I
You
Retta
so
for
our
virtual
hearing
tonight
we
have
one
speaker
and
so
Lynn
Siegel
I
am
activating
your
microphone.
Now
you
should
be
able
to
unmute.
D
By
far
water
is
our
most
important
asset,
you
know
that's
stating
the
obvious.
This
should
have
been
part
of
the
budget.
Well,
it
is
in
a
way.
It
certainly
is
with
CU
cell
with
expansion
of
population.
It's
so
fundamental,
and
it's
so
sad
that
there
was
a
secret
negotiation
put
up
with
CU
and
that
the
land
back
in
1996
was
over
was
inflated
in
value
from
9
to
16
million
and
the
city
couldn't
buy
it
then
so
now,
oh,
that's
all
forgotten.
D
D
Every
single
one
depletes
our
water
supply,
with
Colorado
River
in
the
state
that
it
is,
and
yet
I'm
not
hearing
that
from
Joe
tariuchi
I'm,
not
hearing
that
from
anyone
and
I'm
hearing
no
response
when
I
speak
about
water.
My
my
daughter
is
a
is
a
artist
okay,
she's,
a
water
artist
she's
in
the
space
of
data
physicalization.
She
takes
Geographic
data
and
shows
three-dimensionally
what
water
is
used,
what
we're
actually
using.
D
D
Each
necklace
represents
a
different
water
permit,
holder
in
the
state
of
California
and
their
use,
and
each
bead
on
the
necklace
is
360,
some
acre
feet
of
water.
You
know
like
that's
what
people
need
to
see
and
how
do
you
apply
that
when
you
see
that
you
shut
down
the
population
you
lower,
the
enrollment
at
CU,
certainly
not
expanded,
certainly
not
offer
third
stories,
and
you
guys
put
your
vote
on
it
each
time.
D
B
With
that
I'm
gonna
open
it
up
to
council
for
follow-up
questions
and
discussion
and
we'll
try
and
move
through
this
pretty
quickly,
I'm
gonna
just
poach.
The
first
question,
because
I
forgot
to
ask
one
earlier,
which
is
just
under
11
149,
C,
variances,
the
city
manager,
May,
Grant,
variances
and,
and
then
it
says
in
in
cases
of
undue
hardship
such
as
extreme
economic
impacts,
health
and
safety
considerations
or
religious
objections
and
I,
don't
understand
what
the
religious
objections
could
be
to
like
Landscaping
needs
or
drought
conditions
like
why.
BN
BN
Okay,
one
option
that
we
have
that
we
may
Implement
are
specific
days
of
week
for
watering,
and
so,
if
the
day
of
week
of
your
watering
Falls,
maybe
on
a
religious
date
for
you
and
you,
you
can
ask
for
a
variance
that.
That's
really
what
that
one
gets
to.
B
Okay,
yeah
I,
I'm
gonna
turn
first
to
Bob
and
then
Matt.
BK
I
was
gonna,
make
a
question
a
comment:
do
you
have
a
question?
Okay
before
we
make
the
motion
I
want
to
try
to
call
my
esteem.
Try
to
talk.
My
esteemed
colleague,
Mark
Wallach,
out
of
an
alternative
motion,
Mark
Here's,
my
thought
on
this.
As
Teresa
said,
you
know
there
is
a
separation
of
powers
here
and,
and
we
do
need
to
trust
our
city
manager,
just
as
we
did
during
pandemic.
BK
When
she
made
a
lot
of
emergency
decisions,
she
had
access
to
a
lot
of
information
we
didn't
have
and
oftentimes
had
to
move
very
quickly.
I
understand.
Droughts
are
a
little
bit
more
slow,
moving.
I
trust
the
city
manager
to
make
the
right
decisions
and
to
control
with
Council
I
have
no
doubt
whatsoever
that
the
city
manager
I
realized
that
the
the
ordinance
doesn't
require
her
to
do
that.
I
know.
BK
We
have
a
lot
of
lawyers
on
the
south
of
the
end
of
the
diocese
that
all
can
read
the
same
thing
and
I
know
that
she's
not
required
to,
but
on
the
other
hand,
I'd
hate
to
tie
your
hands
the
other
direction
and
require
her
to
confer
with
us
and
then
also
turn
the
decision
into
a
political
decision
which
it
should
never
be.
It
should
be
a
science-based
decision
that
she
makes
and
so
I'm
confident
that
this
city
manager
would
confer
with
us
consult
with
us.
BK
Probably,
quite
frankly,
ask
us-
and
of
course
we
don't
know
what
future
city
managers
might
do.
We
don't
know
what
future
councils
might
do
at
the
end
of
the
day,
the
city
manager
works
at
our
pleasure.
So
if
she
were
P,
they
were
to
make
a
decision
that
a
majority
and
Council
was
strongly
opposed
to.
BK
We
always
have
a
certain
amount
of
Leverage
I'll,
just
say
it
that
way,
and
so
I
I'm
confident
that
we're
not
going
to
have
a
city
manager
who's
going
to
go
off
and
do
something
that
is
out
of
sync
with
either
this
Council
or
future
Council.
So
I
would
support
the
motion
as
written
and
I
hope
that
you
would
not
make
an
alternative.
One
of
you.
BK
One
okay
I
was
hoping
to
get.
I
was
hoping
that
you
vote
for
it,
but
that's
okay!
So
that's
where
I'm
going
to
support
it.
Nicole.
AC
I
just
wanted
to
agree
with
councilman
Marie:
it's
there
I
I,
it
captures
it
very
well.
The
only
thing
I
would
add
to
that
is
having
seen
the
Watershed
and
had
a
chance
to
spend
the
day
with
some
of
our
water
folks
and
utility
staff.
I
just
could
not
be
more
impressed
with
how
well
you
all
manage
the
intricacy
of
of
our
water
supply
and
I.
Cannot.
AC
Imagine
a
council
like
us
that
does
not
have
that
expertise
trying
to
make
some
game
time
decisions
during
an
emergency
so
just
know
that
I
just
want
to
make
it
clear.
You
know,
I,
don't
think
this
is
coming
out
of
a
lack
of
respect
for
the
expertise
of
Staff
or
anything
like
that.
Just
just
want
you
to
know
that
we
really
do
respect
that
it's
it's
quite
it's
quite
a
lot
to
manage
thanks.
AG
AG
B
Anyone
else
have
a
comment:
I
just
have
one
one
concern
always
which
is
again
with
their
religious
exemption
like
I.
Can
imagine
that
if
you're
a
wedding
venue
or
a
you
know,
Sports
field
or
something
you
may
have,
the
same
issue
like
Saturday
morning
doesn't
work
for
us,
so
I.
Don't
understand
why
we
would
specifically
give
religious
entities,
it
seems
like
we
could
have
language
in
there.
B
That
is
just
more
broad,
like
the
the
city
manager
could
have
discretion
based
on
specific
organizational
needs
that
you
know
can't
can't
water
on
a
certain
day
or
whatever
just
water.
It
I,
don't
think
I
would
limit
it
to
religious
or
and
I'd
make
it
a
little
bit.
Crisper
like
you
know,
if,
if
they're
not
able
to
comply
for
some
reason
due
to
their
business
needs,
we
can
will
allow
a
different
day
or
something
like
that.
B
AB
I'd
like
to
provide
a
clarification,
this
exemption
is
not
meant
for
religious
institutions
and
what
works
for
their
convenience
or
not.
It's
instead
aimed
at
things
like.
If
someone
observes
the
Sabbath
such
that
they
aren't
able
to
go
turn
on
their
water
and
that's
their
watering
day,
then
they
could
get
a
variance
so
that
they
could
do
a
different
day.
B
Okay,
that
that
sort
of
sounds
like
it
falls
under
undue
hardship
to
me.
But
okay,
that's
all
I'll
say
on
it.
Thanks.

The
fire
itself
grew
to
about
19
acres
and
as
of
about
5
30
p.m.
Today
it
was
100
contained,
so
they
moved
very
quickly
on
that
there
were
Crews
on
the
ground.
There
was
also
a
single
air
tanker,
as
well
as
one
helicopter
that
assisted
in
the
support
of
the
fire.
They
did
close
Highway
36
briefly
due
to
smoke
and
visibility,
and
there
was
the
subdivision
in
that
area
that
was
put
in
on
an
evacuation
warning.
AA
I
do
want
to
thank
our
Boulder
fire
staff,
who
helped
respond
from
a
mutual
Aid
standpoint,
as
well
as
many
of
our
department
staff
that,
when
Fire
gets
set
out
loud,
they
pivot
their
jobs,
as
well
as
our
staff
in
the
office
of
disaster
management
and
just
a
PSA
reminder
for
everyone.
Tomorrow
is
another
Red,
Flag
Day
from
noon
to
6
p.m.
Winds,
potentially
up
from
25
to
35
miles
an
hour
with
low
humidity.
So
be
safe
out
there
tomorrow
and
no
open
burning.
Please
and.
AG
For
the
few
that
are
still
listening,
I'll
take
this
reminder
to
vote
Yes
on
2A
for
our
climate
tax
and
also
the
County
ballot
measure
that
also
supports
Wildfire
resiliency.
We
need
it,
as
you
can
see
any
time
of
year.
Is
fire
season
in
this
community
so
vote
on
those
two
we
can
Advocate
until
we're
blue
in
the
face,
so
I
will
go
blue
in
the
face
advocating
for
Wildfire
resiliency
in
the
climate
tax.

Thanks
