B

I'll
explain
as
we
get
started,
I'm
in
Washington
DC
with
the
Northwest
mayor
and
Commissioners
Coalition,
advocating
for
additional
Transportation
multimetal
Transit
funding
for
our
region
and
the
hotel
that
I'm
staying
in
has
a
quite
poor
internet
when
I
attempted
to
watch
some
Netflix
last
night
and
spent
more
time
buffering
than
streaming
so,
rather
than
have
me
bump
in
and
out,
while
attempting
to
lead
the
meeting
I'm
going
to
hand
over
the
reins
to
Mayor
Pro
tem
Mark
Wallach
here
so
I
will
attend
with
my
video
off
and
chime
in
with
my
voice
as
necessary.
B
C
You
mayor
it's
a
big
step
down,
but
we'll
have
to
endure
it
I
think
the
first
order
of
business
is
a
roll
call.
Is
it
not
that.
C
E
C
C
Excellent
I
believe
the
first
topic
of
business
today
is
housing.
Our
community
conversation
with
Boulder
housing
partners
and
HHS
and
I
will
turn
that
over
to
our
city
manager
for
further
presentation.
F
Thank
you
so
much
mayor,
Pro
tem
tonight
we're
going
to
be
hearing
from.
G
H
H
H
The
last
10
years
has
always
shown
affordability
in
affordable
housing
as
being
the
highest
and
most
consistent
Community
need
so
they're
a
they're,
a
critical
partner
in
our
work,
particularly
around
equity
in
our
city
and
well,
I
think
what
you're
going
to
hear
from
them
is
not
just
about
affordable
housing,
but
all
the
other
things
that
they
do
to
actually
create
Community
in
the
areas
where
people
live,
the
Partnerships
that
they
that
they
have
and
the
approach
that
they
take
to
creating
affordable
housing
that
really
meets
the
needs
of
many
of
the
lowest
income
residents
of
our
community,
but
also
some
of
the
most
vulnerable
members
of
our
community
and
so
I'm
pleased
that
Jeremy
Durham
is
here
this
evening
and
he
will
be
driving
this.
H
This
presentation,
I
also
have
some
of
my
staff
here
tonight
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have
about:
oversight
of
of
our
affordable
housing
portfolio
or
other
things
that
might
come
about
and
I
know.
Jeremy
has
staff
on
his
side
as
well,
so
I'll
stop
there
and
welcome
Jeremy.
Thank
you.
I
All
right,
thank
you,
Kurt
for
that
introduction
and
Nuria,
and
thank
you,
members
of
council
for
having
us
here
tonight.
I
know
this
is
something
Nuri
and
I
have
been
talking
about
for
a
little
while
and
we're
super
happy
to
be
able
to
be
here
and
show
you
all
a
little
bit
about
who
BHP
is.
As
Kurt
indicated,
we
are
joined
by
a
number
of
members
of
the
BHP
senior
staff
this
evening.
I
So
if
there
are
detailed
questions
that
we
can
help,
you
answer,
we
hope
that
we'll
have
the
folks
here
that
can
do
that,
for
you,
I'm,
going
to
go
ahead
and
share
my
screen
now
and
launch
in
my
goal
is
to
keep
this
under
30
minutes.
The
time
that
I
was
I
was
told
and
I
think
I
can
do
it
and
hopefully
under
that,
and
then
we'll
have
a
bunch
of
time
for
a
question.
So
looking
forward
to
doing
this
with
you.
I
Thank
you
all
right
great,
since
you
can
all
see
we
will
launch
in
here.
So
by
way
of
introduction,
I
just
want
to
start
by
saying
we
have
a
Spanish
version
of
this
presentation
which
is
available
on
our
website.
We
have
both
a
link
to
that,
as
well
as
a
QR
code
here
and
I'm,
going
to
just
leave
this
slide
on
the
screen
for
a
minute
for
any
members
of
the
public
that
want
to
tune
in
and
want
that
version
of.
I
The
presentation
goal
today
is
to
hopefully
leave
the
council
with
three
high-level
takeaways,
a
better
understanding
of
who
BHP
is
a
better
understanding
of
why
BHP
is
critical
to
this
community's
goals,
around
equity
and
inclusivity
and
last
how
you
can
help
as
our
elected
officials.
In
the
effort
note,
the
beautiful
photo
here
of
our
30th
and
pearl
development
that
you
all
helped
us
put
together
in
partnership
with
the
city,
we're
extremely
proud
of
it,
and
it's
a
community.
That's
working
out
really
really
well
all
right
and
I
hope.
Now.
I
The
folks
who
want
to
plug
this
URL
in
for
Spanish
have
been
able
to
do
so
so
I'm
going
to
move
us
on
we're
going
to
cover
a
number
of
things
today.
First
of
all,
we're
going
to
do
just
a
high
level
overview
of
BHP
that
we're
going
to
dive
into
who
we
serve,
who
lives
in
BHP
housing
and
who
are
the
beneficiaries
of
bhps
vouchers.
I
Okay,
all
right
so
here
is
a
snapshot
of
BHP
by
the
numbers
and
before
I
dive
into
some
of
these
numbers.
I
just
want
to
point
out
this
map
that
we
have
in
the
lower
left
hand
corner
of
the
screen
here
and
I
hope
you're
all
able
to
see
it
at
least
somewhat
well.
This
map
shows
where
we
have
housing
in
the
community
and,
as
you
can
see,
that
BHP
has,
for
the
last
55
years,
made
a
concerted
effort
to
put
housing
in
a
wide
range
of
neighborhoods
in
this
community.
I
We're
able
to
serve
North
Boulder,
Central,
Boulder,
East,
Boulder,
South
Boulder,
so
BHP
housing
is
spread
across
this
community.
It's
our
hope
that
we
maintain
it
in
a
way
that
it
looks
as
good
or
better
than
any
of
the
market
rate
housing
that
you
that
you
see
out
there.
So
a
lot
of
this
may
be
invisible
to
you
and
we
hope
that
it
is.
But
we
want
you
to
know
how
broad
our
housing
offerings
are
throughout
the
city
geographically.
I
Looking
at
some
of
these
numbers,
I'm
just
going
to
highlight
a
few
of
these
for
you
since
you're
all
able
to
read
them
yourself.
It's
important
to
note.
The
BHP
serves
over
4
000
individuals
annually.
That's
2
382,
total
households,
which
equates
to
around
five
percent
of
the
city
of
Boulders
households.
I
I
also
want
to
point
out
that
we
have
and
we're
going
to
dive
into
this
later,
but
renovated
since
2016
648
of
our
properties,
and
that
we
have
733
new
units
ready
for
development
in
the
pipeline.
We
will
look
at
some
of
those
new
growth
opportunities
as
we
go
through
the
presentation
as
well
in
terms
of
the
size
of
BHP
as
an
organization
where
you
have
roughly
100
team
members
here
at
BHP.
I
All
right
we're
going
to
look
here
at
who,
who
we
serve
and
there's
a
lot
of
information
on
this
slide.
I
A
couple
of
things
I
want
to
call
your
attention
to
is
the
level
of
affordability
that
we're
able
to
provide
and
the
area
median
income
breakdown
of
the
folks
that
we
house,
so
72
percent
of
our
households
earn
30
percent
of
the
Marriott
area
area,
median
income
or
less
so
by
household
size
of
three
that's
the
33
870
would
be
the
annual
income,
we're
also
housing,
210
individuals
who
are
formerly
unhoused
in
our
housing.
I
This
pie
chart
here
breaks
down
the
five
high-level
demographics
of
folks
that
we
look
at
based
on
the
kinds
of
services
that
those
individuals
need.
You
can
see
that
the
majority
of
our
housing
is
families
with
children.
However,
we
also
house
a
lot
of
seniors,
both
those
with
and
without
a
disability,
as
well
as
individuals,
again,
those
with
and
without
a
disability.
I
The
stats
on
this
slide
drive
a
lot
of
our
leadership
and
decision
making
at
BHP
as
we
partner
with
the
city
to
provide
services
in
this
community.
It's
driven
decisions
like
our
efforts
in
recent
years
to
cap
rent
increases
on
an
annual
basis
at
levels
that
are
lower
than
the
Colorado
Housing
and
Finance
Authority
kafa,
for
example,
would
allow
us
to
raise
rents
at
our
affordable
properties.
I
We
actually
even
in
the
resource
constrained
environment
that
we're
working
in
currently
are
charging
630
000
annually,
Less
in
rent
than
we
could
be,
which
I
highlight
because
it's
I
want
the
council
just
to
know
that
we
are
here
for
this
community's
goals
and
for
this
community's
needs
and
not
for
profit.
In
fact,
every
dollar
of
Revenue
that
comes
into
BHP
goes
directly
back
into
mission.
I
The
stats
on
this
slide
are
also
what
drive
us
to
focus
on
deep
affordability
wherever
possible
and
to
move
away
from
Mere
like
unit
County,
where
every
affordable
unit
is
treated
the
same
as
every
other,
when
we're
able
to
achieve
deep
affordability
in
transit-rich
locations
like
30
Pearl
developments,
which
is
now
providing
around
2.6
million
dollars
a
year
in
rent
relief
relative
to
what
those
apartments
would
rent
at
Market.
That's
going
to
be
something
that
we're
trying
to
do
throughout
the
city
hit
really
deep
affordability.
I
One
thing
we
talk
about
a
lot
here
at
BHP
and
with
with
the
city,
is
the
role
that
we
play
in
making
Boulder
more
inclusive.
So,
as
you
can
see
from
these
pie,
charts
our
folks,
the
folks
that
we
house
are
generally
more
diverse
than
the
city
of
Boulder
at
large,
and
that
is
both
with
respect
to
race
and
ethnicity.
That's
particularly
the
case
with
our
family
sites,
but
it's
also
the
case
with
our
senior
sites.
I
As
you
can
see
from
what
we've
put
together
here
on
this
slide,
BHP
is
so
much
more
than
just
a
landlord.
We
invest
in
our
properties.
We
provide
in-house
Community
Management
so
that
we're
able
to
maintain
quality
control
that
we
find
we're
not
able
to
get
if
we're
working
with
third-party
private
property
managers,
same
exact
thing
with
our
maintenance
department.
I
We
keep
that
in-house
and
then
we
staff
a
number
of
folks
that
focus
on
resonance
Services,
where
they
are
focused
on
the
residence
needs
exclusively,
and
they
do
that
through
the
Deep
Community
Partnerships
that
we
have
with
folks
like
the
city
and
others
that
we'll
talk
about
in
just
a
minute.
I
So
this
is
a
snapshot
of
our
community
management
team.
So
there's
25
folks
that
work
in
property
management
at
BHP
and
there
is
a
lot
that's
on
their
plate,
so
they
are
not
only
responsible
for
navigating
people
into
housing,
which
is
obviously
a
core
function
for
us,
but
they
also
work
on
rent
assistance,
support
marketing
and
leasing
new
units.
Lease
compliance
is
a
very
important
one
for
us
which
we'll
talk
about
in
a
minute
and
and
so
many
other
things,
some
statistics
here
for
you
that
are
relevant.
I
Last
year,
they
completed
310
move-ins
to
our
units
and
1275
annual
recertifications.
They
take
on
these
tasks
while
maintaining
around
a
97
occupancy
rate,
which
was
something
we're
very
proud
of
as
an
affordable,
housing
community
manager.
There
are
unique
challenges
that
we
face.
I
One
of
those
is
the
compliance
work
and
income
certification
that
is
required
of
an
affordable
housing
provider
and
the
city's
been
a
phenomenal
partner
to
us
in
recent
years
and
helping
reduce
those
burdens
and
that's
an
effort
that
we
want
to
continue
because
it
impacts
both
BHP
staff
and
it
impacts
residents
and
impacts
residents
in
two
ways:
one
it's
a
lot
of
work
for
residents
to
recertify
their
income.
To
if
their
property
manager
is
focused
on
going
through
tenant
files,
that's
time
that
goes
away
from
customer
service.
I
So
it's
in
everybody's
best
interest
for
us
to
continue
to
streamline
that
second
thing
that
makes
managing
an
affordable,
Community,
particularly
challenging.
Is
that
we're
working
in
a
resource
constrained
environment
in
virtue
of
what
we
do,
so
the
rents
that
we
charge
are
affordable,
but
our
cost
to
operate
are
driven
by
the
private
Market.
That
is
the
work
that
we
do
day
in
and
day
out
is
to
try
to
stand
in
the
gap
of
those
Market
forces
and
meet
this
community
need,
and
so
that's
something
that
we
focus
on
every
day
here
at
BHP.
I
I
just
want
to
say
a
word
about
lease
compliance,
because
I
think
it's
really
important
to
expectation
set
with
what
is
possible.
There
I
think
that
oftentimes
folks
look
at
an
organization
like
BHP,
which
is
the
Housing
Authority.
It's
a
government
and
a
landlord,
and
there
can
be
this
embedded
assumption
that
as
a
governmental
landlord,
we
have
additional
powers
that
other
landlords
don't
have.
I
That
is
not
the
case,
so
for
us,
when
we
look
to
take
on
lease
compliance,
we
have
to
follow
the
legal
process
oftentimes.
What
that
will
look
like
if
there's,
for
example,
somebody
who's
not
acting
in
the
way
they
should
in
their
Community
is
an
eviction
process
which
can
be
lengthy.
It's
a
process
that
takes
time.
If
it's
not
an
eviction
process,
then
we're
able
to
serve
paperwork.
That's
effectively
a
warning,
but
we
don't
have
a
law
enforcement
role
or
a
law
enforcement
function.
I
All
right
next
we're
going
to
talk
about
our
facilities,
maintenance
team,
so
we
have
28
members
in
the
maintenance
team.
One
thing
we're
really
proud
of
is
that
we've
maintained
full
Staffing
or
at
times
close
to
full
Staffing,
all
throughout
coven
and
the
great
resignation
and
everything
that's
come
out
of
these
last
three
years
and
all
the
challenges
that
that
has
brought,
and
this
team
provides
a
wide,
wide
range
of
services.
Everything
from
working
on
toilets
to
painting
to
molds,
snow
shoveling,
pest
elimination.
I
Freezing
pipes
certainly
been
an
issue
this
year
with
all
the
extremely
cold
temperatures
and
then,
of
course,
snow
removal,
which
you
see
here
they
get
out
there
and
they
hustle
and
remove
snow
in
all
of
our
communities.
Every
time
there's
a
snowstorm
team
works
hard
to
turn
work
orders
in
under
five
days
in
most
instances,
if
it's
an
emergency
they'll
get
to
it
the
same
day,
and
this
team
of
28
turns
1200
work,
orders
on
a
monthly
basis.
I
I
As
a
community
Hauser
with
BHP,
what
you
get
is
not
just
housing,
it's
housing
plus
services.
So
we
have
these
12
team
members
whose
job
is
driven
exclusively
by
the
residents,
needs
and
interests,
and
so
they're
constantly
meeting
with
residents
to
determine
what
those
are
and
then
working
with
partner
agencies
to
bring
in
programming
for
the
benefit
of
those
residents.
I
We've
created
a
number
of
programs-
and
you
can
see
some
of
those
here,
but
we
have
145
I,
have
a
dream:
Scholars
living
in
BHP
housing,
thanks
to
our
phenomenal
partnership
with
ihat
in
our
housing,
there's
1
648
folks,
who
are
eligible
for
a
free,
Rec,
Center
membership
and
that's
in
Partnership
and
funded
by
the
city
of
Boulder.
We
have
495
residents
with
Eco
passes
and
then
we
provide
on-site
programming
at
every
level
at
every
stage
of
life,
so
Early
Childhood.
I
We
also
have
book
Rich
environment
events,
which
I
know
some
of
you
participated
in
last
year,
participating
in
an
event
actually
where
we
were
able
to
have
1200
books
available
for
giveaway
for
children
that
live
in
BHP
housing
for
adults.
We
have
cooking
workshops,
programs
like
the
parents
as
teachers
program
and
then
there's
a
number
of
services
that
we
offer
for
our
seniors.
Certainly
too
many
to
list.
But
a
couple
I'll
point
out
to
you
are
foot
care
clinics.
I
All
right,
how
are
we
doing
on
time?
Good
all
right,
resident
engagement
is
a
really
big
part
of
what
we
do.
We
pride
ourselves
in
being
a
learning
organization
that
stays
humble,
keeps
ego
out
of
our
work
and
recognizes
that
residents
are
why
we
exist
so
finding
ways
to
engage
with
residents
and
get
feedback,
so
we
can
continue
to
improve
and
meet.
Their
needs
is
a
huge
part
of
what
we
do
on
a
day-to-day
and
monthly
basis.
I
There's
a
lot
of
different
ways.
We
do
that
in
recent
years
we've
done
resident
Focus
meetings.
We
have
a
great
relationship
with
our
resident
representative
council,
which
is
a
form
of
Resident
governance
that
extends
now
to
all
BHP
sites
are
eligible
for
that,
and
they
meet
on
a
monthly
basis
with
the
BHP
staff
to
find
ways
that
we
can
improve
our
housing
for
them.
When
we
look
at
making
changes
to
our
voucher
program,
we
pull
together
an
advisory
counselor
to
look
at
those
voucher
policies.
I
Then,
of
course,
we
engage
with
customer
service
surveys
and
that
takes
a
number
of
different
forms.
One
of
those
is
our
maintenance
leave
behind
surveys
that
we
do
in
most
instances
where
we're
able
to
leave
behind
a
a
flyer
after
a
work
order
is
completed.
Asking
for
feedback
on
that.
We
also
send
out
a
customer
service
survey
which
you
can
see
here.
We
pulled
that
in
in
2022
with
a
3.9.
I
We
also
work
with
folks
to
give
Google
reviews
like
most
organizations
and
that's
something
that
we're
really
proud
to
do
when
we
work
with
our
team
on
when
they're
providing
good
customer
service
to
get
those
links
out,
we're
actually
the
only
Housing
Authority
I'm
aware
of
that's
above
a
four
on
that
and
our
four
and
a
half
is
really
substantially
higher
than
is
usually
found
for
housing
authorities.
I
I
also
meet
with
residents
myself
whenever
I'm
able
to,
and
obviously
we
have
over
4
000
folks
that
we
house,
but
you
know
that's
something
that
I
take
time
out
of
my
schedule
to
do
as
well,
and
we
have
made
real
policy
changes
based
not
only
on
our
organized
resident
engagement
that
you
just
heard
about,
but
also
those
meetings
I've
had
myself.
I
So
we
try
to
structure
and
work
as
hard
as
we
can,
but
everything's
not
always
going
to
go
perfectly.
That's
part
of
being
a
property
manager.
That's
part
of
working
with
people,
property
management
is
challenging.
Work
things
are
going
to
come
up.
Living
in
community
can
be
challenging
as
wonderful
as
it
is.
It
can
be
very
challenging,
and
so
stuff
is
going
to
come
up
from
that.
I
So
we
have
policies
in
place
that
help
us
bring
those
issues
forward
in
an
orderly
manner
that
allows
us
to
address
property
management
issues
that
are
often
nuanced,
almost
always
involve
some
level
of
confidentiality
and
can
be
particularly
tricky
to
address
those
in
the
most
orderly
and
expeditious
way
that
we
can.
This
policy
is
available
on
our
website
as
well
as
disseminated
to
Residents,
and
this
is
our
best
attempt
at
being
able
to
reach
folks
that
are
having
issues.
I
As
you
can
see,
the
policy
includes
an
ombuds
person
which
is
kind
of
a
neutral
person
that
exists
outside
of
the
property
management
team,
who
has
a
skill
set
in
being
able
to
work
with
folks.
It
also
includes
the
opportunity
to
contact
my
office
and
I
look
into
those
myself
so,
as
folks
have
issues
not
as
members
of
the
public
that
are
watching
this.
Now
that
have
issues
this
agreements
policy
is
available
on
our
website.
I
We
have
the
link
there
and
you
are
able
to
track
down
myself
and
anybody
else
like
the
ombuds
person.
That
would
be
a
help
to
you
all
right.
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
compliance,
Audits
and
oversight.
Bhp
is
a
very
unique
entity
in
that
it
is
a
creation
of
state
law,
but
our
board
is
appointed
by
the
city
of
Boulder,
we're
funded
by
the
city,
state
and
federal
government
in
various
programs
and
we're
regulated
as
not
only
an
employer
but
I
think
more
relevantly.
I
Landlord
and
a
property
owner,
so
we've
listed
some
of
the
agencies
that
have
oversight
over
BHP.
We
are
routinely
audited
and
that
happens
at
the
level
of
the
whole
organization
happens
at
the
level
of
individual
programs.
Individual
properties
and
all
the
way
down
to
the
level
of
an
individual
tenant
file
audits
are
very
detailed.
I
We
are
very
fortunate.
Findings
have
been
extremely
rare
for
us
and
that's
something
we
work
really
hard
on,
but
to
create
some
context
around
how
detailed
these
audits
are.
We
did
have
a
HUD
finding
and
a
HUD
audit
a
number
of
years
ago,
when
BHP
encapulating
somebody's
income
resulted
in
an
overpayment
on
their
voucher
of
14
for
the
year.
That
was
enough
to
result
in
a
in
a
HUD
finding.
So
when
we
say
these
are
detailed,
we
we
really
mean
it.
I
I
A
section
if
you
want
to
ask
me
about
this,
ask
me
about
it,
but
we
proposed
some
things
to
the
HUD
secretary
in
that
meeting
that
we
have
seen
come
through
just
within
the
last
week
as
proposed
rules
from
HUD.
That
would
be
really
substantial
and
provide
amazing
benefit
to
bhp's
Residents.
So
that's
something
we're
really
excited
about.
I
All
right,
as
a
owner
of
community
assets,
one
thing
that
we
are
really
proud
to
invest.
Our
efforts
in
is
the
work
that
we
do
in
investing
in
our
communities
and
in
renovating
our
properties.
So
going
back
to
2016,
when
we
made
the
Strategic
decision
to
really
undertake
this
effort,
we
have
raised
and
invested
67.6
million
dollars
in
bhp's
communities.
I
This
next
stat
is
probably
my
like
favorite
stat
about
BHP
that
that
amount
equates
to
40
percent
of
the
Statewide
tax
credit
renovation
dollars
that
have
been
awarded
to
housing
authorities
in
this
time
period.
So
to
put
that
number
of
40
in
context,
city
of
Boulder
on
jurisdiction
makes
up
about
1.7
of
the
state
of
Colorado.
So
this
is
an
area
that
we've
really
been
hustling
and
we're
able
to
renovate
our
properties
without
having
to
use
our
own
operating
capital
or
our
own
reserves.
I
By
leveraging
in
the
tax
credit
program,
we've
been
able
to
put
together
a
very
healthy
investment
per
unit
and
renovate
these
648
Homes
at
around
104
000
per
unit.
I
also
want
to
note
that
49
of
bhp's
properties
have
rooftop
solar,
and
we
are
really
excited
about
work
that
we're
beginning
with
the
city's
Jonathan
Cohen
and
the
climate
action
team
to
try
to
get
that
number
way
up.
We've
got
a
lot
of
rooftops
and
we're
excited
to
get
that
number
up
as
high
as
possible.
I
It
really
benefits
not
only
our
sustainability
goals,
but
it
helps
residents
with
their
utility
bills.
And,
lastly,
something
we'll
talk
about
near
the
end
is
Bridging
the
digital
divide.
We
now
have
78
of
our
properties
with
free
Wi-Fi,
thanks
to
impart
to
grant
money
from
the
city
of
Boulder.
This
is
extremely
important
in
the
modern
era
having
connectivity
is
almost
as
important
as
having
lights.
I
Folks
really
need
it
to
be
able
to
function
well
in
society
and
we're
proud
to
be
able
to
provide
it
78
of
our
communities
without
costs.
The
other
22
percent
are
underway
foreign
about
what
is
a
voucher.
It's
a
term
that
gets
thrown
around
a
lot
and
I
apologize.
If
many
of
you
already
know
what
this
is,
but
I
have
to
make
sure
I
cover
it
to
do.
My
due
diligence
here
vouchers
are
federally
funded
rental
assistance
that
covers
a
portion
of
the
voucher
holders.
I
For
those
who
are
curious,
around
75
percent
of
bhp's
vouchers
do
stay
in
Boulder.
The
way
the
voucher
program
works.
For
example,
a
workable
family
would
pay
an
average
of
32
percent
of
their
income
towards
rent,
and
the
voucher
program
would
cover
the
rest
up
to
an
established,
HUD,
fair
market
rent.
I
I
Quick
note
also,
this
photo
that
you
see
to
the
right
is
some
of
our
street
art.
Our
development
team
and
Laura
shinebaum
has
been
really
intentional
about
working
with
Community
Partners
to
bring
really
enlivening
street
art
to
our
communities.
This
one
here
is
that
30
Pearl
there's
been
other
street
art
interspersed
throughout
this
presentation
that
you
may
have
seen
and
wondered
what
that
was,
but
that's
what
that
is.
I
There's
some
more
street
art
in
the
bottom
right
hand
corner
of
this.
This
slide
as
well,
so
BHP
has
1411
vouchers
in
total,
broken
down
by
these
categories.
Here,
as
you
can
see,
that
number
grows
and
it's
going
to
continue
to
grow,
which
is
phenomenal
thing
for
this
community,
because
this
is
the
deepest
level
of
affordability
that
we're
able
to
provide
is
when
we
have
a
voucher
that
it's
incumbent
upon
us
to
continue
to
Ace
our
audits,
with
HUD,
maintain
compliance
and
get
vouchers
on
the
street.
I
That's
what
HUD
looks
at
when
they
want
to
award
vouchers
and
we're
lucky
to
have
an
excellent
team
that
HUD
has
a
ton
of
faith
in.
I
They
continually
try
to
hire
our
program
manager
and
we
fight
them
off
and
that
level
of
trust
that
HUD
has
for
us
helps
us
get
vouchers
which
really
help
this
community
all
right.
This
chart
here
shows
our
unit
growth,
our
homes
growth.
This
is
what
the
units
that
BHP
owns
they
can
offer
as
affordable
homes
throughout
Boulder.
I
The
need
for
affordable
housing
is
so
massive
in
this
community.
54
000
renters
in
Boulder
County
pay
more
than
50
percent
of
their
income
towards
their
rent,
and
that
number
doesn't
even
take
into
consideration
all
the
folks
that
have
to
drive
to
their
jobs
from
outside
Boulder
County.
The
need
for
affordable
housing
in
Boulder
is
tremendous,
and
we
are
committed
to
meeting
that
need.
One
thing
that
we
as
a
team
are
really
proud
of.
I
Is
our
culture
of
overcoming
obstacles,
and
one
thing
that
I'll
note
on
this
presentation
is
the
2016
election
had
a
huge
negative
impact
on
our
ability
to
finance,
affordable
housing.
The
mere
threat
or
rumor
of
tax
reform
resulted
in
the
main
tool.
We
use
low-income
housing
tax
credits,
absolutely
plummeting
in
value.
I
One
development,
Tantra
lakes,
that
we
were
in
the
process
of
acquiring
saw
a
seven
million
dollar
drop
in
available
equity
for
that
project,
but
our
culture
at
BHP-
and
this
is
in
large
part
thanks
to
our
incredible
partnership
with
the
city
staff-
is
to
overcome
whatever
obstacles
are
in
our
way
to
meet
our
goals,
and
that
applies
to
the
covet
time
period
that
our
growth
also
covers
Supply
shortage,
great
resignation,
all
of
it.
One
thing
we
do
is
we
we
overcome.
I
I
It
also
is
growing
our
employees,
so,
as
you
can
see
from
this
chart
that,
as
we've
grown,
particularly
over
the
last
two
years,
we've
been
able
to
leverage
our
scale
and
financial
stability
through
that
growth
to
increase
capacity
and
Staffing
levels
to
higher
than
they
were
before
before
we
had
the
growth,
and
so
that's
something
that
we're
going
to
continue
to
look
to
do.
Every
dollar
of
Revenue
that
comes
to
BHP
is
a
dollar
that
gets
reinvested
in
the
mission.
I
I
There
are
too
many
to
thank
you
or
they're
too
many
to
count.
An
amazing
part
of
working
in
this
community
is
how
many
folks
are
dedicated
to
to
helping
those
who
need
it,
and
Boulder
is
very
service
rich
as
a
community.
It's
the
Envy
of
every
other
Housing
Authority
director
I,
talk
to
because
all
right,
the
city
itself
is
our
number
one
partner.
I
We,
we
really
exist
to
execute
your
housing
vision
for
affordable
housing,
and
we
truly
have
a
partnership
that
I
know
of
no
other
public
housing
authority
that
has
that,
with
their
City,
whenever
I
meet
each
month
with
the
other
directors
of
other
housing
authorities,
half
the
time
seems
like
it's
spent,
trying
to
troubleshoot
issues
that
they're
having
with
their
local
government
and
thanks
to
the
amazing
councils
that
we've
had
over
the
years
thanks
to
Kurt
Nuria
who's,
always
made
herself
available
to
me,
even
despite
the
extraordinary
amount
of
things
on
her
plate,
we
have
an
amazing
partnership
and
it's
how
we're
able
to
get
things
done
in
terms
of
some
ways
that
the
city
may
be
able
to
help.
I
As
I
said,
we
didn't
with
like
a
how
you
can
help
so
sustainability
funding
Partnerships.
We,
as
I
mentioned
we've,
been
meeting
with
climate
action
plan
and
it's
our
goal
to
increase
sustainability
and
solar
as
much
as
possible.
I
That
is
an
action
that
checks
a
lot
of
boxes
in
terms
of
our
ability
to
meet
meet
the
needs
of
the
community.
I
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
digital
divide
and
how
we've
built
out
78
of
the
wi-fi
at
our
communities
was
soon
to
be
100,
there's
a
cost
of
around
134
000
annually
for
that
once
built
out,
and
we
could
use
help
working
with
the
city
to
cover
those
expenses.
I
And
finally,
you
may
be
aware
I'm
sure
you
are
that
the
voters
here
in
Boulder
County
and
across
the
state
of
Colorado
past
proposition
one
two
three
last
November,
that
is
a
proposition
that
can
bring
substantial
amounts
of
funding
to
the
city
of
Boulder.
So
long
as
Boulder
is
able
to
make
some
adjustments
to
our
planning
process
particularly
make
adjustments
to
where
we're
able
to
process
building
permits
for
affordable
housing
developments
within
90
days,
something
that
we'd
love
to
partner.
I
With
the
city
on
making
happen
and
I
think
it's
something
that
we
will
be
able
to
make
happen
all
right.
This
is
our
last
slide.
We're
now
renting.
This
is
a
snapshot
of
some
of
the
apartments
that
we
offer
and
that
what
we
have
available
right
now
and
you
can
see
the
rents
here-
are
really
really
good.
I
30
Pearl
having
a
two-bedroom
down
at
781
a
month
is
really
phenomenal
and
we're
really
proud
of
the
way
these
communities
show,
and
we
saw
so
with
that.
I
will
turn
it
back
to
whoever
takes
over
from
here.
I
guess:
that's
probably
mark.
C
Thank
you
Jeremy.
Thank
you
for
that
presentation.
The
good
news
was,
it
was
a
very
high
quality
presentation,
we're
lucky
to
have
it
and
the
bad
news
is
probably
a
little
bit
over
30
minutes.
C
We'll
live
with
it.
Sorry
I
would
ask
my
Council
colleagues,
do
you
have
any
questions
and
perhaps
we
can
put
the
Council
back
up
on
the
screen,
so
we
can
see
that
take
down
the
boulder
housing
Partners
slide
and
put
the
council
back
up.
Is
that
possible?
Okay?
Here.
I
C
C
Other
questions
from
Council
Members
I
see
Bob,
it's
first
Bob.
Take
it
away.
K
Thanks
Jeremy,
that
was
real,
real
helpful,
just
a
question
about
about
the
internet.
We,
you
know,
we
talked
about
that
at
a
council
meeting
a
couple
weeks
ago,
so
it's
kind
of
all
fresh
in
our
minds
and
I
know
that
that
you've
got
a
a
deal
with
I
guess:
Comcast,
to
provide
kind
of
low
speed
service
to
sounds
like
78
of
your
residence
you're
working
on
getting
that
up
to
100.
That
sounds
great
and
you
might
be
looking
for
some
financial
assistance.
K
Separate
from
that.
You
know
the
city
is
thinking
about
what
we
do
with
our
fiber
resources.
We've
got
some
backbone
already
built
and
we're
thinking
about
whether
we
should
build
some
more
and
one
of
the
questions
of
the
I.T
folks
have
come
to
us
to
ask.
Is
we
could
connect
and
I'm
I
think
this
number
is
directly
correct,
but
don't
hold
me
to
it?
We
could
connect
a
lot,
maybe
all
the
BHP
properties,
for
about
three
million
dollars
in
with
high
speed
fiber.
That
would
provide
that
service
to
your
residents.
K
That's
much
better
than
probably
they're
getting
right
now,
but
they're
asking
the
question:
should
we
do?
That
is
BHP
going
to
use
that
and
I
guess
and
not
to
put
you
on
the
spot.
Well,
I!
Guess:
I,
don't
put
you
on
the
spot.
But
what
what's
your
thought
on
that?
Do
you
is
that
something
you
want
us
to
do,
or
are
you
kind
of
content
with
the
with
the
Comcast
service
you're
getting
now,
and
you
just
want
a
little
bit
of
money.
I
Yeah
I
mean
yeah
I,
don't
mind
being
put
in
the
spot.
I
That's
what
I'm
here
for
so
bring
all
the
questions
you
know
by
my
calculation
we're
looking
at
about
a
22-year
payback
if
we
were
to
invest
as
as
partners,
three
million
dollars
to
connect
Wi-Fi
to
BHP
sites
and
if
that
were
able
to
be
offered
for
free
to
BHP
after
connected,
then
that
would
save
us
134
000
a
year
in
Comcast
internet
costs,
which
works
out
to
about
a
22.3
year
Payback
and
that's
if
the
city
were
able
to
offer
that
for
free,
which
I'm
not
sure
if
they'd
be
able
to.
I
So
that's
why
you
know
I
framed.
My
earlier
topic
is
more
about
the
annual
expense.
It
may
be
that
at
some
point
the
cost
for
that
installation
comes
down.
Where
there's
some
opportunities
we
can
take
advantage
of,
but
trying
to
be
a
good
partner
to
the
city.
I,
don't
know
that
that
makes
sense
to
bring
the
network
out.
K
Well,
that's
fine
we'll
continue
to
have
those
discussions,
I,
just
wonder
what
your
your
answer
was
as
of
today,
thanks.
L
Thank
you.
Mark
I
only
have
two
questions,
not
too
many
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
I
hear
correctly.
You
mentioned
that
you
have
4
000
residents,
and
did
you
say
that
20
of
your
clients
are
satisfied?
Did
I
hear
that
correctly.
I
L
Thank
you
for
that
and
another
question
that
I
have
based
on
what
we've
heard
from
Community
for
a
very
long
time.
It's
really
good
to
have
you
show
up
give
this
presentation.
It
gives
context
to
community
and
it'll
also
give
context
to
a
lot
of
us
here
as
well,
because,
ultimately,
if
we're
not
educated
of,
what's
going
on
with
PHP,
we
don't
know,
even
though
you
do,
we
do
have
a
council
representative.
You
mentioned
the
Ombudsman
process,
we've
had
people
coming
to
council
many
many
times
throughout
and
having
concerns
comments
and
questions.
I
Probably
around
a
year
and
a
half
I
think
that's
about
right.
I
could
I
could
get
you
an
exact
answer.
Rachel.
Do
you
Rachel's
the
one
that
prompted
this?
This
change
for
us
I,
don't
know
if
you
have
a
recollection
of
when
we
put
this
in
place.
M
L
N
Thank
you
Mark,
and
thanks
for
that
presentation,
Jeremy
I
was
curious.
You
mentioned
some
of
the
proposed
rules
from
HUD
that
had
changed
and
what
kinds
of
opportunities
those
might
be
providing
in
the
future
and
I
was
hoping
you
might
expand
on
that.
Yeah.
I
Happy
cue
I
would
have
talked
about
it
in
the
presentation,
but
I
wanted
to
try
to
hit
that
30
minute
Mark,
so
so
I'm
really
fortunate
to
have
the
HUD
secretary
there
in
our
office
just
a
couple
of
days.
After
doing
a
resident
focus
group
and
in
that
Resident
Focus
Group.
In
the
very
same
room,
we
met
with
the
HUD
secretary
and
Congressman
negus.
What
I
heard
from
them
is
the
same
thing
I
hear
from
staff,
which
is
that
the
administrative
burden
involved
in
certifying
income
is
extremely
high.
I
We
don't
have
paper
files
anymore
if
we
did
I
would
hold
up
for
you
a
file
right
now.
That
shows
everything
that
goes
into
that,
and
the
point
of
this
is
not
to
like
whine
about
the
amount
of
work
involved.
But
what
we
pointed
out
to
the
HUD
secretary
is
that
almost
everybody
who
is
certifying
their
income
with
BHP
has
already
certified
their
income
with
another
government
agency,
whether
that's
to
receive
SNAP
benefits,
Medicare
Medicaid,
Social,
Security,
there's
it's
a
very,
very
common
thing.
I
N
Thanks
Jeremy,
my
other
question
was
about
proposition
one.
Two
three
and
you
had
mentioned
you
know
sort
of
the
90-day
approval
requirements.
Are
there
any
other
requirements
that
we
should
be
aware
of,
that
might
impact
our
ability
to
do
the
most
with
that
funding,
yeah.
I
N
I
I
think
that
the
the
site
review-
part
I,
don't
think,
is
unknown.
That's
not
going
to
count
I
think
there
may
be
an
outstanding
question
about
like
Tech
docs
in
that
period
and
Beyond,
but
we're
hopeful
that
it
won't
be
something
that's
too
aggressive
that
we're
not
able
to
meet
and
I.
Don't
know
if
Kurt
or
Brad
have
anything
to
add
there.
H
Yeah,
the
the
only
thing
that
I'll
add
is
that
the
the
state
is
also
they're
going
to
be
putting
out
funding
for
municipalities
like
ourselves
to
create
help
create
the
capacity
needed
to
meet
some
of
those
requirements
and
they're
they're
in
the
process.
Now
of
sort
of
defining
better
the
definition
of
those
requirements
and
bread.
I
don't
know
if
you
have
anything
to
add
on
to
that.
J
Yeah
I,
don't
have
a
whole
lot
to
to
add
my
understanding
is,
it
might
still
be
at
the
state
level
in
rule
making
I'm
being
honest
with
with
everybody
here
still
kind
of
learning
about
this
staff
may
know
even
more
than
I
do,
but
certainly
on
our
radar
and
we'll
be
following
up.
I
The
other
part
I
mentioned
there
was
two
requirements,
so
the
other
one
is
that
the
community
have
a
plan
in
place
to
grow
their
affordable
housing
stock
by
three
percent
a
year.
That's
something
that
I
think
we're
able
to
meet
with
just
bhp's
pipeline,
so
I
think
Boulder
is
in
very
good
shape.
There
and
Boulder
has
been
a
leader
in
the
state
in
investing
in
new,
affordable
housing.
In
recent
years,
foreign.
O
Thanks
Jeremy
for
joining
us
here
tonight
and
thanks
for
your
presentation,
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
learn
a
little
bit
more
I
just
had
a
couple
of
questions
and
my
first
one
is
of
the
the
new
housing
that's
planned
over
the
next
decade,
or
so
how
much
of
those
how
many
of
those
units
are
going
to
be
accessible.
I
That
is
a
very
good
question.
I
may
tag
Laura
in
to
give
a
more
technical
answer.
I
I
have
what
I
think
is
the
answer
and
if
there's
any
issues
with
Laura
I'll
give
that
but
Laura
if
you're
available.
Most
of
you
know,
Laura
shy,
mom
our
director
of
real
estate,
I,
think
you
all
did
a
tour
with
us
this
last
year.
So
go
ahead.
Laura,
hey.
P
Good
evening,
I'm
good
evening,
I'm
Laura
scheinbaum,
with
Boulder
housing,
Partners
director
of
real
estate
development,
nice-
to
see
you
all
great
question,
Nicole
I
think
we
always
meet
the
sort
of
highest
there's
a
bunch
of
different
standards
that
intersect
when
we
do
these
projects,
and
so
it's
at
a
minimum
very
minimum
five
percent.
But
generally
we
have
more
thresholds
that
we
have
to
meet
given
the
funding
sources
that
we
have.
So
that's
not
a
great
answer
in
terms
of
five
percent.
P
But
if
you
you
apply
that,
to
let's
say
diagonal
Plaza,
which
will
be
an
upcoming
project
of
ours.
I
know
that
we
have
about
eight
units,
or
so
there
that
will
be
fully
accessible.
And
then
you
know
maybe
Lauren
can
help
me
out
with
some
of
these
but
type
A
type
B,
and
you
know,
there's
different
thresholds
of
accessibility
that
we
also
are
very
much
paying
attention
to.
O
Thanks
and
is
there,
is
there
any
plan
to
kind
of
try
to
go
above,
and
let
me
just
the
background
for
why
I'm
asking
that
so
it's
you
know
our
population
is
going
to
be
growing
over
the
next
20
to
25
years
and
the
place
where
we're
going
to
see
the
biggest
grow
growth
is
in
the
65
and
older
population.
So
this
is
something
you
know
I'm
thinking
about.
O
How
are
we,
how
are
we
planning
now
in
the
housing
we're
building
in
the
next
five
or
ten
years
to
be
in
a
place
where
we
may
be
in
a
position
where
we
at
work
having
to
accommodate
more
folks
who
do
have
disabilities
and
who
need
some
extra
support
to
get
around
so
I
guess
the
way
to
phrase
that
is,
the
question
is
you
know,
is:
is
there
any
intention
to
try
to
go
beyond
that?
Yeah.
P
So
absolutely
so,
first
of
all,
all
of
our
buildings.
We
really
are
very
intentional
about
making
sure
their
elevator
compliant
and
providing
even
two
elevators
whenever
possible,
so
that
if
one
goes
down,
we've
got
another,
that's
accessible
to
folks
to
be
able
to
utilize
and
then
in
terms
of
the
units,
there's
ways
that
we
can
make
them
become
accessible.
So
you
know
if
you
have
front
panels
that
can
be
removed
as
accessibility
needs
increase.
P
So
I
think
that,
yes,
the
intent
is
to
certainly
have
our
portfolio
reflect
the
needs
of
the
community
as
well
as
just
meet
the
needs
of
our
Marketing
in
in
real
time
as
well.
So
yeah
there's
definitely
a
lot
of
intention
around
making
sure
that
again
things
like
elevators
and
ramps,
and
all
of
that
is
in
place
as
well
as
thinking
through
you
know
the
future
and
having
those
units
that
can
be
made
accessible
down.
The
road
and
and
I
think
the
the
bathroom
core
is
actually
the
most
important
piece
of
that.
P
So
having
that
be
fully
accessible
for
a
wheelchair
is
something
that
we
really
pay.
A
lot
of
of
mind
to
as
we
move
forward
Mount
Calvary
is,
is
a
great
example
that
16
is
a
senior
housing
and
I
know
that
I
don't
have
the
number
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
it's
it's
beyond
what
our
requirements
are
at
that
site.
I
Something
else
I'll
point
out
quickly
on
this
topic,
and
thank
you
Laura
is
that
even
where
a
building
is
not
built
with,
even
where
a
unit
is
not
built
as
Ada
accessible
to
begin
with,
we
always
have
a
process
by
which
residents
can
request
that
working
with
their
doctor
and
such
and
we'll
make
that
investment
on
our
end.
O
Great
thank
you
I
appreciate
that
thanks
Laura
appreciate
the
the
extra
contacts
there
and
then
my
my
other
question.
Jeremy
is
just
around
you
know.
I
know
we
have
this.
You
have
an
ombuds
person
who
is
within
BHP,
and
you
know
I
know
that
you've.
You
know
we
have
talked
in
the
past
and
you
said
hey,
you
know.
If
you
hear
about
people
who
are
having
issues
you
know,
please
please
let
me
know
and
what
I
keep
running
into
is
a
situation
where
folks
are
really
hesitant
to
come
forward.
O
O
First
of
all
is
some
sort
of
independent
survey
that
could
be
done
of
residents
that
is
sort
of
outside
of
BHP,
maybe
even
outside
of
the
study,
where
people
just
feel
really
more
kind
of
free
and
comfortable
to
kind
of
give
a
range
of
feedback
right
and
then
the
other
thing
is
just
around
whether
there's
an
opportunity
for
having
an
ombuds
person
or
someone
who
is
outside
also
a
PHP
and
the
city
and
I.
Don't
you
know
I
don't
bring
this
up
to
be
like?
O
Oh,
my
gosh,
you
guys
are
doing
a
terrible
job
or
anything
like
that.
It's
really
just
like
I
know
that
you
really
want
this
feedback,
because
you
mentioned
that
to
me
a
number
of
times
and
I'm
running
into
folks
who
don't
feel
comfortable
doing
that
because
they
feel,
like
they're,
going
to
be
in
danger
of
losing
their
housing
if
they're
bringing
forward
some
of
the
issues,
and
so
maybe
just
as
a
question
around
brainstorming
like
what
do
we
do?
I
Yeah,
so
absolutely
yes
to
both
of
those
we've
done
surveys
over
the
years,
where
both
it's
administered
by
a
third
party
and
where
we
administer
it
ourselves
in
any
instance,
it's
Anonymous,
but
I
can
understand
that.
Folks
may
not
trust
that
anonymity
or
something
like
that
and
in
terms
of
like
an
ombuds
person,
would
be
happy
to
partner
with
the
city
on
something
that
might
feel
more
neutral
or
maybe
is
housed
within
like
the
city's
mediation
team,
or
something
like
that,
because
we
do
we
want
that
feedback.
I
The
other
thing
I
would
say
is
that
if
you're,
if
you
hear
from
those
folks-
and
maybe
they
don't
feel
comfortable
with
the
ombuds
person,
I,
don't
know
that
they
would
feel
comfortable
reaching
out
to
me.
But
I
I
am
really
do
not
mind
getting
feedback.
It's
one
thing
we
talk
about
as
a
team
is
like
there's
nothing
here
to
criticize,
because
we
are
just
a
reflection
of
the
community
and
it's
our
job
to
be
the
best
reflection
of
the
community
as
we
can
possibly
be.
I
I
have
never
seen
an
instance
at
BHP
of
somebody
being
retaliated
against
for
complaining,
in
fact,
usually,
if
we,
if
we
hear
a
complaint,
we
respond
as
expeditiously
and
as
compassionately
as
we
possibly
can,
but
nonetheless
I'm
sensitive
to
that
Dynamic
and
folks,
maybe
based
on
prior
experiences,
have
have
that
concern.
I
One
thing
that
I
think
we
have
to
and
are
we're
going
to
invest
heavily
in
over
the
course
of
this
year,
be
stronger
at,
is
just
building
better
and
better
relationships
with
residents
so
that
they
feel
like
they
know
their
property
managing
know
their
resident
services
coordinator
having
more
Community
meetings
on
site.
That's
happened,
Less
in
the
covered
era,
but
we're
going
to
be
doing
more
and
more
throughout
this
year
so
that
there
isn't
that
I
would
say
unfounded
fear
that
bringing
a
complaint
forward
could
result
in
loss
of
housing.
O
Yeah
I
think
it
would.
It
would
be
really
interesting,
I
think,
to
try
to
put
together
some
sort
of
independent
interview
process
or
you
know,
because
not
everybody
wants
to
fill
out
a
survey
right
I
mean
we're
typically
hearing
about
things.
It's
just
in
stories
and
you
know
one-to-one
interactions
with
people.
O
So
you
know
how
do
we?
How
do
we
get
that
kind
of
information
from
folks
like
you
know,
in
a
way
that
feels
safe
right,
where
everybody
can
open
an
honest
feedback,
because
I
know
that's
what
you're
looking
for
as
well,
so
yeah
I
think
just
something
something
for
us
to
think
about
and
try
to
figure
out
how
to
do
that.
Yep.
H
It
is
thank
you
Mark,
so
Nicole
I
think
both
German
and
I
appreciate
those
those
questions,
and
so
the
the
the
mediation
and
Reconciliation
team
of
the
city
sits
within
HHS
and
I
would
say
that
a
majority
of
their
work.
You
know
we
have
about
us.
We
have
a
team
of
about
60
mediators
that
work
with
us.
H
The
majority
of
those
mediations
are
around
landlord
tenants
issues
or
relationships,
so
they're
they're
well
placed
to
work
with
these
concerns,
so
I
would
also
encourage
and
their
their
outside
of
BHP
they're
outside
of
any
landlord
I
would
encourage
any
residents
that
you
come
across
if
they
don't.
F
No
problem
so
Jeremy
that
is
great
news
about
that.
The
paperwork
which
is
so
stressful
for
so
many
people
did
you
tell
us
when
that
was
going
to
happen
with
HUD?
Is
that
soon
or
did
it
already
start.
I
I
We
can
work
out
a
more
accurate
timeline,
but
we'll
certainly
be
lobbying
and
giving
feedback
to
HUD
about
the
importance
of
that
and
we
reached
out
through
some
connections
to
Congressman
Goose's
office
about
that
today,
as
well.
F
And
secondly,
I
know
you
had
only
30
minutes
for
your
presentation,
so
if
you
can
mention
one
or
two
one
or
two
things
that
you
consider
the
biggest
challenges
in
2022,
but
you
didn't
get
into
your
presentation
just
so
the
community
knows
you
better
and
knows
everything
you
do
better.
What
would
you
say
that
is
that.
I
They
yeah-
that
is
a
great
question
and
I
think
the
answer
is
something
that
the
council
is
familiar
with,
so
being
a
community
Houser
being
a
Hauser
who
is
focused
on
housing.
Folks
that
other
landlords
may
not
accept
is
an
important
part
of
who
we
are,
and
it
also
results
in
challenges.
At
times.
I
I
Based
on
you
know,
things
like
prior
evictions
or
that
type
of
thing
we've
allowed
folks
into
our
housing,
most
of
which
who
have
been
very
successful,
some
of
which
would
not
one
thing
that's
challenging
is
that
when
folks
have
come
into
our
community
and
it's
not
successful
and
they're
disruptive
and
in
particular,
where
we've
seen
this
in
I
would
say
small
numbers,
but
with
high
impact,
where
we've
seen
it
is
with
methamphetamine
use.
I
It's
an
issue
that
every
Hauser
I'm
aware
of
in
this
area
is
dealing
with,
but
the
impacts
of
that
are
really
significant
and
our
ability
to
respond
is
very
limited,
even
where
we
know
it's
happening.
It's
the
beginning
of
the
process
that
can
take
several
months
to
bring
the
relief
that
the
community
wants
to
see.
I
So,
for
that
reason,
as
we
move
into
2023,
we've
tightened
up
our
tennis
training
and
we
think
we've
done
it
in
a
way
where
we
can
hopefully
minimize
the
collateral
damage
to
folks
who
are,
for
example,
experiencing
homelessness,
but
would
be
a
good
candidate
for
permanently
Supportive
Housing.
We
want
to
minimize
the
collateral
damage
to
those
folks,
but
while
also
making
sure
that
the
cost
of
community
disruption
and
feelings
of
unsafety
aren't
disproportionately
borne
by
our
affordable
communities
at
BHP.
F
I
Yeah,
so
a
restaurant
Services
generally
come
from
the
boulder
shelter
for
the
homeless,
and
they
do
a
phenomenal
job,
and
one
thing
that's
tricky
about
this
whole
conversation
is
that
the
success
rates
are
very
high
at
30
Pearl
right
now
or
like
in
an
85
success
rate
with
our
integrated
permanently
supported.
Housing.
I
There
program
in
general
is
at
about
an
80
success
rate,
and
that
is
actually
drugged
down
by
prior
years,
when
there
was
a
program
was
first
ramping
up,
otherwise
would
probably
be
higher,
so
they
do
a
phenomenal
job
and
they're
an
incredible
partner.
I
The
challenge
is
that
even
that
15
to
20
percent
non-success
just
has
a
really
big
impact
that
can
last
for
months
and
create
so
much
concern
in
the
community
and
so
much
expense
for
an
organization
that
is
resource
constrained.
To
begin
with,.
I
I
will
think
about
it.
Yeah
I
I
think
that
we've
I
feel,
like
we've
gotten
great
support
from
Council
on
evolving
on
this
topic,
we've
gotten
great
feedback
from
Council
on
how
to
evolve
on
this
topic
over
the
past
four
months,
as
well
as
great
feedback
from
concerned
community
members,
which
you
know
I'll
just
highlight
back
to
our
earlier
conversation
like
if
there
are
folks
that
maybe
are
listening
to
this
presentation
that
feel
like
afraid
to
reach
out
like,
please
do
not
be
afraid
to
reach
out
like
we
actually
listen.
I
We
actually
will
make
changes
based
on
community
feedback,
and
so
that's
something
I
would
highlight.
C
Foreign
you're
done
okay,
Matt
and
then
Aaron.
R
Thanks
Mark
I
won't
be
redundant.
My
questions
got
asked
by
my
colleagues,
which
is
awesome
more
or
less
headed
in
the
same
direction.
So
I'll
just
say
that
I
just
want
to
congratulate
BHP
for
just
continually
punching
above
its
weight.
I,
like
that's
just
pretty
astounding,
given
what
the
scale
of
what
we
do
versus
the
impact
that
we
have
so
credit
to
to
Jeremy
and
Delora
and
and
the
staff
and
and
everyone
who's
made.
R
B
Well,
actually,
Matt
kind
of
beat
me
to
the
punch,
because
I
was
just
going
to
offer
my
things
for
your
extraordinary
work,
so
I
won't
repeat
all
of
his
words
but
I'll
just
mention
from
a
personal
standpoint.
I
am
a
BHP
neighbor.
You
know
there
is
an
apartment
building
across
the
street
owned
by
BHP.
That
includes
some
I
believe
homeless,
transitional
housing,
they're
they
make
they're
great
neighbors
and
you
all
manage
the
the
building
extremely
well.
So
I
do
have
that
up
close
and
personal
day-to-day
experience.
C
Thank
you.
If
there
are
no
other
questions,
I
have
one.
Actually,
you
know.
We've
had
a
lot
of
comments
about
I,
guess,
oversight
of
BHP
units.
To
what
extent
does
the
city
have
oversight
over
BHP
units
that
they
have
invested
in.
I
Oh
yeah
great
question,
oh
I,
see
Shelby
has
turned
her
camera
on
Shelley.
Do
you
want
to
take
this?
This
is
your.
This
is
your
department.
I
H
If,
if
I
could
just
introduce,
Shelley
Shelly
has
been
a
bit
of
an
institution
at
the
city,
she's
been
doing
oversight
of
the
affordable
housing
program
for
about
16
years
and
she's
considered
as
sort
of
a
head
quite
expert
in
our
region
of
the
Front
Range
and
over
oversees
our
team
within
HHS.
That
does
the
oversight,
not
just
the
BHP
but
I'll,
be
affordable
housing
units
throughout
the
city,
including
the
homeownership
components
of
that
as
well
so
Shelly.
If
you
want
to
answer
that,
that
would
be
helpful.
S
Absolutely
so,
yes,
I'm
Shelley
Conley.
Thank
you
so
much
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
speak
today.
So,
yes,
the
city
has
a
very
intimate
partnership
with
Boulder
housing
Partners.
We
work
on
a
regular
basis,
providing
technical
assistance,
and
you
know,
guidance
to
new
Property.
Management
100
of
bhp's,
affordable,
permanently,
affordable
properties
are
monitored
every
three
years
in
general.
S
All
of
the
new
properties
that
are
under
covenant
not
only
receive
monitoring
either
on-site
or
remotely,
but
we
also
conduct
inspections
on
a
regular
basis,
and
then
we
actually
do
an
annual
tenant
report.
S
Audit,
where
we're
providing
oversight
to
all
of
bhp's
units,
making
sure
that
the
people
that
are
living
in
the
affordable
units
are
low
income,
that
they're
being
being
you
know,
charged
in
appropriate
rent
and
things
like
that,
we
do
have
a
risk
assessment
that
we
do
every
year
to
identify
any
potential
risk
or
non-compliance,
and
as
a
result
of
that,
we
determine
what
our
monitoring
schedule
is
and
then
we
go
out
and
monitor.
S
What
I
will
say
is
that
you
know
in
the
last
five
years,
every
single
property
in
in
bhp's
portfolio,
that's
under
Covenant,
has
been
monitored
at
least
once
some
of
them
have
actually
been
monitor.
Twice,
and
out
of
that,
you
know
when
you
know,
Jeremy
mentions
findings.
You
know
it's,
it's
exceptionally
rare
that
BHP
gets
a
finding
from
the
city
of
Boulder,
mostly
for
the
simple
fact
that
we
work
so
closely
together
with
property
management
and
providing
the
resources
and
tools
that
they
need
to
be
successful.
S
So
by
providing
all
of
that
guidance
up
front,
we're
able
to
kind
of
eliminate
a
lot
of
problems,
but
what
I
would
say
is
of
the
issues
that
are
identified.
Property,
Management
staff
do
an
amazing
job,
and
you
know
addressing
whatever
corrective
action
is
necessary
and
I
have
a
bunch
of
Statistics
whatever
you
need
as
far
as
oversight
happy
to
share
all
of
that,
but
I
would
say
that
BHP
is
a
model
for
affordable
housing
in
Boulder
and
Stellar
performance
and
compliance.
C
A
L
I
Not
currently,
but
I
think
that
it
could
be
part
of
a
you
know,
a
concerted
effort
going
forward,
and
you
know
I'm
interested
in
having
follow-up
conversations
with
Kurt
and
Nuria
about
whether
or
not
some
of
those
ombuds
person
Services
could
even
like
shift
to
the
city
mediation
team
so
that
it
feels
more
neutral
and
whether
that
team
could
take
on
what
you're
describing
and
we
could
help
pay
for
it
or
whatever
I
know
you
guys,
aren't
just
swimming
in
extra
capacity
over
there
at
the
city,
but
I
think
it's
certainly
all
part
of
the
same
conversation
like
we
want
folks
to
be
able
to
give
us
feedback
to
feel
safe,
giving
us
feedback,
and
we
want
to
be
positioned
to
respond
to
that
as
well
as
we
possibly
can
and
in
some
instances
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
that's
just
kind
of
a
reality
of
of
where
we
are.
I
We
can't
give
everybody
everything
they
want.
We
have
programs,
we
have
to
administer
Within
the
guidelines
and
we
have
funding
constraints
that
determine
what
we
can
do
at
a
property
that
type
of
thing.
But
we
want
to
at
least
have
the
forms
in
place
to
get
that
as
much
as
possible.
We're
also
going
to
be
doing
a
lot
of
community
meetings
ourselves
at
sites
this
year,
as
well
as
focus
groups
and
and
continuing
to
work
with
our
resident
representative
council
to
expand
their
Outreach.
T
C
Okay,
once
more
I'm
opening
it
up
for
General
comments
of
an
extremely
brief
nature,
if
anybody
has
any
to
share
once
twice
Jeremy
Laura.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation,
I
appreciate
it
and
we
all
appreciate
it
very
much
and
it
was
highly
Illuminating.
Thank
you.
So
much
have
a
good
evening.
Thank.
C
Next,
we
have
a
public
hearing,
I
believe
on
a
State
Legislative
update.
Do
I
have
that
correct,
Alicia.
C
Are
we
going
to
give
our
standard
presentation
on
conduct
of
the
public
hearings.
U
I
am
happy
to
do
that.
Are
we
having
a
staff
presentation
first.
D
Oh,
thank
you
ma'am
I
know,
mayor
Pro,
tem
did
read
it
in
the
record,
but
you're
right
I
need
to
do
it
formally.
Thank
you
item
number
two
on
tonight's
agenda.
Is
our
public
hearing
item
2A
and
that
is
our
state
legislative
update.
E
I
will
oh
let
and
call
on
car
call
Studio,
who
has
been
just
leading.
G
All
our
legislative
and
policy
issues
to
give
us
a
brief
overview
thanks.
X
Y
Thank
you
very
much
good
evening,
mayor
Pro,
tem,
walek
and
members
of
council.
You
can
just
give
me
a
quick
thumbs
up
if
you
can
hear
me.
Okay,
great,
thank
you.
Y
So
tonight
we
have
two
things:
we
have
an
update
on
legislative
matters,
so
bills
that
are
actually
pending
or
expected,
and
then
the
the
part
that
I
think
is
going
to
attract
the
most
attention
is
the
proposed
revisions
to
the
policy
statement.
So
I'd
like
to
start
off
by
handing
it
over
to.
Y
Q
Did
you
just
hand
it
to
me?
Yes,
I
did
so
and
sorry
I
apologize,
I
was
just
switching
over
from
viewer
to
a
panelist
yeah.
Y
Well,
I'm
happy
to
help
with
the
train
ER.
Perhaps
I
should
clarify
that
whale
is
going
to
be
saying
a
few
words
about
the
bills
that
the
city
has
taken.
Positions
on
these
are
available
to
you
in
your
packet.
They
they're
linked
to
a
database
called
State
Bill
info,
so
Will's
gonna
just
touch
based
on
a
few
of
those.
Q
Good
evening,
everyone
I'm
will
point
with
Headwater
strategies:
I'll
speak
for
a
couple
minutes
and
then
hand
it
to
Adam
ikeberg
my
business
partner,
who
will
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
things
that
have
been
introduced,
but
we
are
we're
we're
about
a
month
into
the
legislative
session,
and
a
couple
of
hundred
bills
are
now
in
play.
Q
I
think
we
expect
over
the
four
months
of
session,
where
usually
these
days,
averaging
close
to
600
bills
that
come
before
the
legislature,
which
is
a
lot
we
actually,
you
know
you
all,
should
know
that
Colorado
because
of
a
variety
of
the
ways
that
we
operate
actually
ends
up.
Hearing
voting
on
and,
ultimately
passing
probably
more
legislation
than
any
state
in
the
country,
so
Carl's
job
in
helping
you
all
navigate
that
very,
very
Advanced
landscape
is
challenging
so
far
the
city's
taking
positions
in
support
of
about
10
bills.
Q
Q
One
is
actually
representative
Joseph's
bill
on
dealing
with
warranties
on
home
appliances
to
make
sure
that
when
you
replace
your
furnace,
you
can
also
use
a
electric
heat
pump
to
get
credit
for
that.
Through
your
warranty,
we
are
also
supporting
the
bill
that
will
deal
with
rent
control.
That
will
be
certainly
a
Hot
Topic
that
comes
up
within
the
legislature.
That's
House,
Bill
1115.
Q
There
are
a
couple
of
bills
dealing
with
wildfires
that
have
come
forward,
there's
also
a
bill
House
Bill
1057
that
is
going
to
require
gender
neutral
bathrooms
in
public
buildings
in
the
future
that
will
that
will
be
up
in
the
next
week
or
so,
and
then
another
bill
that
will
make
community
these
solar,
Gardens
more
accessible
by
making
the
credits
that
are
provided
to
the
the
members
of
the
solar,
Gardens,
more
manageable
from
a
cash
flow
perspective.
Q
Z
Great
thanks
will
nice
to
see
you
all.
Virtually
Carl
asked
me
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
stuff
that
hasn't
been
introduced,
yet
so
I'm
going
to
use
my
magic
crystal
ball
and
tell
you
the
things
that
we
think
are
coming.
Z
If
some
of
them
don't
come,
don't
hold
it
against
us,
because
you
know
we
don't
really
know,
but
this
is
what
we
have
a
pretty
good
sense
of.
What's
coming,
there's
going
to
be
a
package
of
bills
around
a
reproductive
Choice,
both
affirming
that
they're
that
the
law
is
as
the
law
is
in
Colorado,
providing
some
protections
for
providers
who
provide
services
in
other
states
and
also
allowing
sort
of
protections
for
providers
for
gender
affirming
care.
Z
We
expect
there
will
be
three
bills
in
that
package
and
we
think
that
they're
coming
they're
imminent.
The
legislature
is
also
considering
a
package
of
gun
violence
prevention
bills.
I
know,
we've
talked
about
this
a
lot
over
the
years,
but
the
package
what
should
be
anywhere
between
four
and
six
bills?
There
are
a
lot
of
things
on
that
list,
including
waiting
period
raising
the
age
to
21,
to
purchase
all
guns,
federal
law
right
now
has
and
state
law
has
the
requirement.
Z
You
could
buy
a
long
gun
at
20
at
18,
but
you
have
to
wait
till
you're
21
to
buy
a
handgun.
It
would
raise
essentially
the
requirement
for
long
guns
to
21..
There
is
a
bill
being
considered
to
create
a
permit
to
sell,
essentially
a
state
dealer
licensing
right
now.
Gun
stores
need
nothing
other
than
a
sales
tax
permit
from
the
state
to
open.
So
there's
some
look
into
that.
There's
obviously
a
conversation,
a
very
robust
conversation
going
on
around
an
assault
weapons
bill.
Z
There
is
a
conversation
going
on
around
a
bill
that
would
change
the
availability
of
the
Civil
Justice
System
to
people
who
are
harmed
through
gun
violence.
There's
a
family
who
lost
their
daughter
in
the
Aurora
shooting
who
attempted
to
sue
both
the
gun,
store
and
the
manufacturer
and
ended
up
losing
their
home
in
because
of
some
very
old
state
law
around
it.
So
there's
a
lot
going
on
there.
Z
Z
The
Senate
President
had
a
great
meeting
with
Carl
and
a
couple
other
cities
to
talk
about
a
bill
that
is
probably
just
at
the
time
was
starting
with
just
noise
pollution,
but
I
think
we'll
be
hopefully
expanded
to
include
both
vehicle
pollution
and
dealing
with
some
of
the
issues
around
mobile
testing
and
other
things.
There's
a
bill
around
air
pollution
permitting
there's
a
bill
about
giving
more
control
to
get
in
compliance
with
the
Sip
and
then
there's
also.
Z
The
governor's
office
has
been
talking
a
lot
about
some
work
around
the
EV
tax
credit
and
trying
to
increase
it
in
the
next
couple
years
to
to
sort
of
offset
the
reduction.
That's
going
to
happen
at
the
state
level
because
of
some
changes
that
they
made.
So
there
will
be
a
period
over
the
next
couple
years,
where
the
EV
tax
credit
will
not
decline
in
Colorado
as
it
liquid.
Z
In
other
states,
as
it's
being
expanded
and
retooled
at
the
federal
level,
so
if
you're
going
to
buy
an
IV
Eevee,
if
the
bill
passes
the
next
two
years,
your
window
and
then
lastly,
on
my
list
that
I
wanted
to
talk
about,
is
there's
a
conversation
also
going
on
that
sparked
by
the
city
around
expanded
local
control
of
photo
speed
enforcement.
Z
There
was
a
conversation
started
by
a
couple
advocacy
groups,
and
you
all
through
us,
and
mostly
through
Carl,
engaged
that
conversation
and
I
think
there's
a
really
good
bill
being
drafted.
That
would
allow
the
city
a
few
more
tools
and
some
more
flexibility
in
the
implementation
of
of
photo
speed.
So
Carl
did
I,
did
I
miss
anything
I,
don't
think.
Y
I
get
ones
Adam,
I
guess
what
I'll
mention
is
that
the
bills
that
Adam
mentioned
I
think
unless
I
missed
one
are
all
ones
that
the
city
is
inclined
to
support.
Of
course,
we're
going
to
have
to
see
the
the
details,
but
they
weren't
just
random
bills.
Y
There
were
bills
that
were
consistent
with
council's
policy
statement
positions
so
before
we
go
any
further
and
move
over
to
the
more
complicated
topic
of
amendment
amending
our
policy
statement,
I
was
wondering
if
you
have
any
questions
about
the
bills
that
have
been
introduced
or
that
we
expect
to
see
forward
specifically
any
questions
that
Adam
and
will
can
help
help
us
out
with.
F
Yes,
will:
can
you
explain
a
little
bit?
Are
you
allowed
to
explain
a
little
bit
about
the
red
control
bill.
Q
So
it's
a
bill
that
would
Empower
local
governments
to
have
the
ability
to
to
do.
Rent
control.
I
will
I
think
it's
not
had
its
first
hearing
yet
in
in
the
house,
obviously,
with
historically
large
Democratic
majorities
in
in
both
Chambers.
It
certainly
has
a
shot
of
moving,
but
it
will
have
tremendous
opposition
from
the
apartment
association,
the
Realtors-
and
you
know
enough-
certainly
more
conservative
factions.
Q
So
it's
got
a
really
long
way
to
go,
and
it
will
be
an
interesting
task
for
this
for
this
new
legislature,
where,
where
progressives
help
a
lot
more
power,
I
think
than
probably
at
any
point
in
in
recent
decades,.
O
Thank
you
and
thanks
thanks
for
the
update,
I
know
everything
changes
fast
down
there
in
Denver,
I
just
had
a
question
around
the
Eevee
tax
credit
that
you
mentioned
Adam
and
my
understanding
is
this.
Tax
credit
is
only
for
cars,
and
you
know
trucks
that
that
sort
of
thing
is:
is
there
any
talk,
or
has
there
been
any
talk
about,
extending
it
to
e-bikes
or
e-scooters
or
any
of
those
other
modes
of
transportation?.
Z
The
answer
is
yes,
it
would
be
a
different
vehicle.
The
governor's
package
that
they
are
proposing
and
have
been
shopping
to
a
few
people
include
include
e-bikes,
and
one
of
the
things
they're
trying
to
figure
out
is
how
to
streamline
the
e-bike
rebate
program,
because
the
state
can
do
is
give
a
tax
credit.
What
cities
and
others
can
do
is
you
know,
potentially
provide
funding
and
then
that
money
comes
right
off
the
bill
and
so
they're
trying
to
figure
out
a
mechanism
to
make
that
available
right
at
point
of
sale.
Z
There
has
not
been
talk
about
e-scooters
another
actually
on
one
of
the
calls
an
advocate
asked
about
that.
The
governor's
office,
the
governor's
Energy
Office
hadn't,
contemplated
that
but
I
think,
because
that
question
was
asked
that
they
probably
will
have
a
conversation
about
it.
So
the
answer
is
yes.
That
package
is
still
yet
to
come.
There
isn't
any
paper
on
it.
It
was
more
of
a
a
verbal
briefing,
so
we
don't
know
exactly
what's
in
there,
but
I
think
it
will
be
pretty
robust.
R
Thanks
Mark
and
Adam
will
thanks
thanks
for
all
the
work
that
you
guys
do
and
certainly
helping
advocating
for
the
city's
positions
on
stuff.
My
question
centers
around
I've,
been
I've,
heard
some
Rumblings
about
I,
don't
know
if
it's
a
if
it's
Bill,
that's
written
or
proposed
I,
don't
know
if
this
is
going
to
to
will
or
Adam
on
this,
but
it
centers
around
allowing
employers
to
contribute
to
down
payment
assistance
programs
and
something
along
that
elk.
R
I
didn't
know
where
that
is,
if
it's,
if
it's
more
a
Phantasm
than
it
is
an
actual
thing,
but
I
just
wanted
to
check
with
you
guys
since
you're
in
it
every
day.
Z
I
have
not
heard
anything
in
that
space.
I
mean
there's
a
lot
there's
a
lot
of
conversation
happening
around
affordable
housing
right
now,
and
a
lot
of
conversation
happening
particularly
around
renters
rights.
But
I
have
not
heard
a
proposal
about
employers
being
able
to
contribute.
I,
don't
know,
will
have
you
heard
anything.
Q
I
have
not
and
Carl
jump
in
if
you
have
but
I,
think
we'll
tell
you
what
we
tell
people
all
the
time
with
600
bills
and
all
the
related
ideas
around
it.
We
can
find
out
and
we
can
get
back
to
you
because
you're
right
there
certainly
are
so
many
so
many
ideas
in
this
space
that
we
can
figure
out,
whether
that's
a
real
thing
and
let
you
know.
R
I
appreciate
it
I
mean
you,
don't
have
to
bend
your
back
over.
The
only
reason
I
asked
just
because
we're
we're
you
know
the
voters
pass
and
we'll
be
discussing
our
own
down
payment
assistance
program
here
in
short
order.
So
if
there
were
such
a
thing,
obvious
synergies
would
be
connected
to
to
our
own
policies
in
in
that
capacity.
So,
but
but
I
appreciate
you
sort
of
putting
your
ears
to
the
tracks.
C
Seeing
no
others
Carl
do
you
require
Adam
and
will
to
remain
here
during
your
presentation.
Y
I
don't
require
them,
but
it
would
be
great
if
they
would,
because
we
are
going
to
continue
talking
about
legislation,
so
there
may,
or
it
will
be
some
questions.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you,
Adam!
Well,
and
if
it's
okay,
now
mayor
Pro,
10
I'm,
going
to
share
my
screen
begin
a
PowerPoint
presentation.
Y
Thank
you.
Okay,
can
you
all
see
my
screen?
Okay,
all
right
great!
Thank
you.
So,
at
this
point
we're
shifting
over
to
probably
for
Visions
to
the
2023
policy
statement
on
regional
state
and
federal
issues
and
want
to
start
off
by
explaining
what
the
policy
statement
is
for
those
who
have
not
been
familiar
with
it
because
I
know
a
lot
of
people
are
interested
in
what
we're
doing
tonight.
Y
So
the
council
adopts
a
policy
statement,
and
it
includes
at
this
point
70
positions
that
describe
goals
that
Council
wants
to
policy
goals
that
they
want
to
achieve
and
some
examples
on
how
they
want
to
achieve
those
goals.
So
they're
somewhat
specific,
but
not
really
that
specific
they're,
not
they
don't
even
begin
to
be
a
specific
as
actual
legislation
with
that
the
city
then
takes
the
position
and
applies
it
to
specific
bills
or
amendments
or
other
proposed
policy
changes.
Y
Y
Well,
but
it's
important
to
note
is
that
the
reason
we
do
it
this
way
is
because
if
the
city
wants
to
be
a
player
and
have
an
impact
at
the
Capitol,
we
need
to
be
able
to
respond
quickly.
So
it's
been
a
long
tradition
of
council
that
they
give
Direction
Through
the
policy
statement
so
that
then
City
officials
can
respond
to
those
bills.
Knowing
that
decisions
can
be
made,
a
bill
could
be
introduced
and
passed
at
the
Capitol
as
soon
as
three
days,
especially
towards
the
end
of
the
session.
Y
So
this
is
a
way
of
saying
that
things
can
move
very
quickly
and
they
do
not
overlap.
Well
with
councils,
City
city
council,
meeting
calendar
I
think
it's
really
important
to
highlight
how
this
is
used
so
position.
22
of
council's
policy
position
says
specifically
that
the
city
will,
it
says,
allow
local
governments
to
implement
rent
control
measures
and,
more
specifically,
says
borrow
of
the
1981
state
law
to
prevent
cities
and
counties
from
control
on
private
houses
and
housing
units.
Y
Y
They
said
that
it'd
be
great
if
we
could
send
somebody
to
testify
so
I
reached
out
to
members
of
intergovernmental
Affairs
committee
council
member
folkerts
has
indicated
that
she's
able
to
testify
so
next
Thursday
when
this
committee,
when
this
issue
is
heard
in
house
committee,
vulnerable,
have
its
voice
there.
So
this
is
just
an
example
of
how
the
policy
statement
translates
into
bills,
action
on
bills
and
actual
advocacy.
Y
So,
what's
important
tonight
is
that
we're
talking
about
revisions
to
the
policy
statement,
and
it's
in
it's
important
to
note
that
this
is
done
annually.
We,
the
council,
is
asked
and
approves
the
new
policy
statement,
every
fall
and
then
every
February
or
March,
when
we
see
that
there
is
new
position,
new
bills
that
have
been
introduced,
that
we
haven't,
that
we
didn't
expect
or
that
we
know
are
coming.
We
come
back
to
the
council
and
we
ask
them
to
revise
the
policy
statement.
So
what's
happening
tonight
is
entirely
routine
from
a
procedural
perspective.
Y
So
more
specifically,
the
intergovernmental
Affairs
committee
met
on
February
2nd
and
made
two
recommendations
pertaining
to
position
23,
which
relates
the
land
use
and
position
24,
which
correlates
the
homelessness.
So
these
are
two
positions
that
are
already
in
our
policy
statement:
I'm
going
to
break
each
one
down
one
by
one,
so
the
first
one
is
position
22..
This
is
what
you're
seeing
on
your
screen
is
the
language
that
currently
exists.
Y
It
essentially
is
focusing
on
incentives
to
encourage
land
use
policies
that
reduce
greenhouse
gases
and
discourage
unnecessary
single
occupancy
Vehicles.
So
they
focuses
on
climate
focuses
on
on
Transportation
sustainability.
The
committee
is
recommending
changes.
Y
Y
Y
We
then
go
on
to
say
that
we
expect
legislation
to
be
introduced,
and
this
is
very
much
the
case.
This
is
perhaps
the
most
important
priority
of
the
governor's
tender
as
as
governor,
and
we
expect
that
he
and
his
administration
are
going
to
go
full
force
and
working
on
these
issues.
So
we
know
there's
there
are
bills
coming
forward.
So
that's
that's
the
reason
we're
getting
involved
here
or
we're
proposing
to
get
involved
anyway.
Y
We
then
explained
that
the
notion
of
exceeding
local
control
is
usually
enactment
to
cities.
Cities
of
course
know
that
we
have
the
closest
connection
with
our
community.
We
are
best
situated
to
address
our
community's
concerns.
One
size
cannot
fit
at
all
and
we've
all
heard
those
those
messages
and
they're
very
much
true,
and
by
and
large
those
that
is
the
default
policy
principle
that
we
have.
Y
That
being
the
case,
it's
important
to
know
that
we
do,
and
this
Council
in
particular,
has
taken
positions
to
yield
a
portion
of
local
control
or
issues
that
cross
cross-governmental
boundaries,
and
that
cannot
be
addressed
alone.
So
the
best
example
of
this,
although
it's
it's
we've
taken
positions
on
several
bills
over
the
years
where
we
exceeded
a
portion
of
local
Patrol,
but
the
most
recent
one
was
Boulder
was
actively
involved
in
supporting
a
bill
that
was
introduced
in
the
past
last
session
that
created
a
minimum
standard
for
energy
codes
for
building
energy
codes.
Y
So
with
that
Boulder
was,
was
recognizing
that
it's
great
for
us
to
have
a
stringent
energy
codes.
But
our
goal
is
greenhouse
gas
production
and
the
only
way
we
can
get
there
is
if
we
get
the
rest
of
the
cities
to
go
along
with
us.
Y
So
that
is
an
example
of
where
we
see
it,
so
this
part
of
the
position
is
suggesting
that
well,
actually,
the
previous
one
already
then
made
the
argument
that
housing
affordability
is
an
example
of
goals
and
not
just
housing,
affordability,
but
the
the
climate
action,
the
transit
sustainability,
the
equity
interests
that
can
come
along
with
compact
development
and
with
housing.
Affordability
are
examples
of
of
issues
where
it
can,
where
a
the
city
may
be
willing
to
seed
a
portion
of
local
control.
Y
AB
Y
So,
for
example,
it
has
to
be
narrowly
targeted
to
further
the
goals
of
the
comp
plan
as
to
take
into
account
the
different
range
of
land
use
priorities
throughout
the
state
it
has
to
allow
for
flexibility
and
implementation,
and
it
has
to
allow
for
local
governments
that
already
meet
minimum
State
Standards
to
be
Exempted,
so
that
there's
you
know
if
the
city
is
already
doing
its
part.
It
should
not
require
the
additional
State
oversight.
Y
So
these
are
qualifications.
I
know,
there's
questions
about.
You
know
how
do
you
interpret
these
I'm
happy
to
have
these
revised
as
you'd
like
to,
but
these
are
examples
of
tools
that
we,
we
think
would
be
helpful
to
analyze
an
actual
bill,
and
then
that
is
what
I'm
shifting
to
now,
which
is,
as
with
all
of
our
possessions,
we
get
some
examples
of
the
kinds
of
methods
that
we
would.
Y
We
would
be
willing
to
consider-
and
it
is
important
to
note
that
the
way
this
is
written,
we
don't
guarantee
anything,
it
doesn't
guarantee
or
give
a
black
check
to
the
state
that
we
will
support
bills
merely
because
they
address
accessory
dwelling
units
or
because
they
encourage
or
require
multiplexes.
It
gives
them
as
as
examples
of
categories
as
buckets
of
issues
that
we
know
that
that
the
governor
is
interested
in
working
on
and
because
of
that
we
are
proposing.
Y
The
committee
is
proposing
that
we
take
a
position
conceptually
in
support
of
these
with
qualifications
and,
of
course,
with
further
review
of
the
details.
Y
I
will
say
that,
of
course,
if
we
pass
this
position,
it
would
give
the
city
direction
to
actually
Advocate
and
Lobby
on
these
bills,
and
even
if
even
putting
that
aside,
just
making
this
public
statement,
I
think
we
would
be
the
first
city
to
make
a
public
statement
conceptually
supporting
what
these
buckets
of
of
of
bills
that
I
just
discussed,
even
that
I
think,
would
be
meaningful
in
terms
of
the
support
that
it
would
give
for
The
Advocates,
probably
the
most
convincing
argument
that
I
can
give
you
why
we'd
want
to
do.
AC
Y
To
happen,
and
right
now,
Municipal
governments
nor
and
and
Boulder
are
not
at
the
table,
we're
not
involved
in
the
Drafting
and
if
the
city
wants
to
have
an
influence
and
being
able
to
affect
the
language
of
the
bill.
One
of
the
best
ways
to
do
is
to
communicate
to
the
governor's
office,
to
the
to
the
sponsors
at
the
legislature
that
we
are
conceptually
on
board,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
that
our
our
interests
are
protected.
So
that
is
the
pros.
Y
Just
as
importantly,
though,
I
think
it's
important
to
give
you
some
of
the
cons,
it
has
been
said.
So
you
know
quite
often,
of
course,
that
one
size
may
not
fit
all,
and
that's
that's
clearly
the
case
with
Zoni,
where
every
city
has
dramatically
different
zoning
codes.
So
you
know
the
the
challenge
would
be.
How
can
you
make
some
standards
that
would
apply
to
all
cities?
Even
if,
if
you
broke
it
down
by,
you
know
bourbon
versus
rural,
so
definitely
a
challenge
in
how
this
could
actually
come
about.
Y
It
also
would
be
a
difficult
difficult
to
translate
council's
position
if
Council
was
to
support
the
position.
That's
been
proposed
to
a
specific
bill
or
specific
bills.
I
mean
frankly,
I
think
there's
enough
division
that
I've
seen
early
on
on
this.
That
we'd
want
to
be
very
careful
not
to
go
be
in
my
council's
specific
desire
on
a
bill
and,
lastly,
an
argument
that
I
heard
from
one
council,
member
and
I
think
it's
a
very
wise
one.
Y
Is
that
legislatures
changed
and
while
our
values
may
be
reflected
by
the
governor's
office
and
the
majority
at
the
Capitol.
Now,
if
we
were
to
see
some
local
control
once
seated,
it's
difficult
to
regain,
and
it's
certainly
difficult
to
defend
from
overreach,
so
I
wanted
to
give
you
those
as
pros
and
cons
so
tonight,
Council
has
the
ability
to
consider
a
motion
to
adopt
the
in
our
governmental,
Affairs
Committee
of
recommendations.
Y
Is
the
one
on
homelessness
and
I
want
to
be
very
careful
as
I
discuss
this
one,
because
I
think
there's
been
some
misunderstanding,
so
what
you
see
highlighted
is
the
current
language
that
is
in
the
policy
statement
a
little
bit
of
background.
There
have
been
bills
introduced
in
recent
years.
That
would
say
local
governments
cannot
ban
camping
in
public
spaces.
They've
said
other
things,
but
that
has
been
the
core
of
it.
So
we
or
probably
seven
years
have
had
a
position
in
the
policy
statement
that
says
no.
We
oppose
that
we
would
not.
Y
We
would
oppose
any
attempt
to
take
away
our
local
control
on
an
issue
like
this,
on
Banning
camping
in
public
spaces,
so
well
when
they
considered
a
policy
statement
in
November.
A
suggestion
was
made
that
the
intergovernmental
Affairs
committee
consider
striking
this
language
or
revising
it.
So
the
committee
considered
it
and
actually
I-
probably
am
jumping
to
God
here,
because
there's
another
important
piece
of
History.
Y
First
of
all,
I
want
to
clarify
that
what
you
have
here
is
actually
a
triple
negative
and
it's
probably
as
confusing
as
as
it
gets
to
understand.
So
I
am
proposing
a
non-substantive
revision
to
read
this
way.
It
basically
reads:
preserve
Authority
for
local
governments
to
ban
camping
in
public
spaces.
This
is
essentially
a
rewrite
of
what
is
already
in
the
policy
statement.
Y
I
I
want
to
highlight
a
little
bit
of
History
example.
A
here
support
minimum
requirements
for
local
governments
to
combat
homelessness.
That
was
added
I
think
about
two
years
ago.
Y
So
you
know
we
went
from
saying
State,
don't
tell
us
what
we
can
and
can't
do
as
far
as
camping
in
public
spaces,
that
in
a
position
a
couple
years
ago
that
says,
but
we
we
can
see
how
the
state
might
want
to
consider
minimum
requirements
for
local
governments
to
combat
homelessness.
So
with
that,
as
the
history,
we
then
go
forward
to
what
was
recommended
by
the
intergovernmental
Affairs
committee,
and
that
is
reflected
in
red.
Y
So
what
what
they
have
done
is
taken
the
position
that
exists
of
23b
in
black
and
they
add
the
red
language,
so
it
would
read:
preserve
Authority
for
local
governments
that
meet
the
above
requirements.
So
basically
it's
tied
it
into
the
governments
that
meet
minimum
requirements
for
combating
homelessness.
Those
governments
should
not
have
their
ability
to
ban
camping
in
public
spaces
be
denied,
so
it
is
a
qualified
position.
Y
I'm
sure,
there's
going
to
be
more
questions
about
it,
but
I'll
move
on
here.
Arguments
for
this
it
may
reflect
the
will
of
the
council
we'll
find
out.
It
may
encourage
other
local
governments
to
increase
services
for
the
homeless,
and
by
doing
so,
it
may
take
pressure
off
a
voter
I
think
we
want
to
make
sure
I
think
you
know
we
have
a
lot
of
regional
neighborhoods
neighbors
that
are
that
are
doing
a
lot,
but
there's
also
some
that
are
not,
and
that
is
certainly
something
that
has
been
challenging
for
the
city.
Y
I
think
we
are,
if
not
the
first
number
one
or
two
in
terms
of
cities
that
provide
homeless
Services
towards
the
amount
of
money
we
spend
per
capita
arguments.
Why
we
might
not
want
to
consider
this.
One
argument
is
I,
do
not
know
that
any
legislation
will
be
coming
up
on
this
matter.
Y
I'll
leave
it
up.
That
I
also
mentioned
it's
difficult
to
interpret
what
what
are
minimum
requirements
for
homeless
Services.
You
know
minimum
could
be
minimum.
So
I
guess
that
could
be
just
about
anything,
but
it
is
certainly
subject
to
a
variety
of
interpretation.
Y
Minimum
requirements
is
interpreted.
It
could
lead
to
requiring
local
governments,
even
theoretically
Bolder,
to
allow
unsanctioned
camp
in
the
public
spaces.
Of
course
we're
talking
about
a
worst
case
scenario,
because
the
business
seems
that
we
were
to
support
a
bill
that
went
against
our
direct
interest,
but
nonetheless
those
are
cons
that
I
wanted
to
identify.
So
I
think
that
each
one
of
these
changes
should
be
considered
separately,
because
I
think
Council
may
very
well
have
different
views
on
these.
Y
So
back
to
the
issue
of
how
do
we
apply
these
positions?
So
you
know,
is
it
a
blank
check
from
Council?
Do
you
do
you
write
a
a
policy
statement
and
then
lose
all
control
over
how
it's
interpreted
by
me
or
by
our
lobbyist,
and
the
answer
is
no.
Y
Y
Aligned
with
what
I
understand
Council
to
have
directed
would
be
something
that
we
would
support
and
then,
in
those
cases,
I
would
normally
convey
a
position
of
support
or
oppose
or
amend,
and
even
then
I
would
I
would
communicate
at
the
council
immediately
and
then
I
would
let
them
have
you
all
would
have
an
opportunity
to
call
it
up
and
you
could
say
no
Carl.
You
misinterpreted
us
change
that
position
immediately
and
the
result
that
was
that
possibility,
certainly
a
mistake
that
I
would
try
to
avoid.
Y
But
that's
one
of
the
possibilities
in
this
case
with
these
two
positions,
I
already,
can
tell
that
there
is
enough
contention
in
the
community
about
these.
That
I
would
take
any
analysis
of
any
bill
or
amendment
that
is
introduced
to
the
intergovernmental
Affairs
committee
for
their
review.
There
are
four
members
on
that
committee
and,
with
that
I
think,
there's
a
lot
greater
chance
that
they
would
understand.
What,
in
fact,
is
a
correct
interpretation
of
council
Direction.
Y
What's
important
to
note,
is
the
intergovernmental
Affairs
committee
can
be
convened
a
lot
more
frequently
than
we
can
get
on
council's
calendar,
so
there
is
the
ability
to
be
more
Nimble,
and
that
is
one
of
the
reasons
that
the
council
created
council's
intergovernmental
Affairs
committee
is
to
allow
us
to
take
positions
on
bills,
where
it's
not
clear,
exactly
where
the
city
should
stand.
Y
So
with
that
I
will
conclude.
My
presentation.
I
will
note
that
we
do
have
Brad
Mueller
director
of
planning
and
Kurt
fernharber
director
of
housing,
Human
Services
here
available
for
questions,
but
I
also
encourage
you
to
ask
questions
of
your
own
committee
members,
either
now
or
after
the
council
presentation
the
the
public
hearing,
because
they
very
much
have
a
lot
to
say
about
these
these
recommendations.
C
Well,
we
already
have
some
questions,
so
let's
go
right
at
it
all
right,
Bob,
you're
up
first
then
Nicole,
then
Matt.
K
Thanks
Mark
thanks
Carl
Carl,
just
one
correction
and
one
question:
I,
think
you've
confused
a
lot
of
people
because
you
interchanged
22,
23
and
24..
So,
let's
just
like
make
sure
that
we're
all
in
the
same
page
here
I
think
22
is
the
housing
one
right,
yeah.
Y
Yeah
so
so
to
be
clear,
yeah.
Y
K
K
Carl
you
mentioned
that
if,
if
a
bill
comes
up
on
an
issue
and
you're
a
little
unclear
what
position
council
is
or
whether
it's
consistent
or
inconsistent
with
policy
statement
that
you,
while
you
might
not
always
be
able
to
get
counsel
together,
you
can
be
in
the
intergovernmental
Affairs
committee.
So
that's
great
and
I've.
Seen
that
happen
over
the
seven
years,
I've
been
on
Council
and
you've
been
in
here
even
longer
than
that.
K
What
happens
when
you
have
a
situation
which
may
we
may
very
well
on
some
of
these
we'll
know
in
a
couple
hours
where
you
have
a
majority
in
a
minority
of
you
on
Council?
K
Let's
say
you
have
a
six
three
or
five
four
vote
on
something,
but
none
of
the
people
in
the
minority
are
in
the
intergovernmental
Affairs
committee
like
how
do
how
are
you
going
to
check
to
see
what
those
people
think
and
I
get
the
fact
that
they
might
be
opposed
and
that's
fine,
but
there
may
be
some
Nuance
to
that
opposition
and
maybe
they're
okay
with
what's
actually
submitted.
K
How
do
you
check
in
with
those
people
who
might
be
opposed
because
it
probably
doesn't
help
you
or
or
will
or
or
you
know
or
or
Adam
to
do
their
jobs?
If
we've
got
council
members
who
are
not
on
board
and
if
you
haven't
gotten
them
up
to
speeds,
how
have
you
done
that
in
the
past.
Y
Y
So
I
don't
really
have
an
example
of
how
I've
done
it
in
the
past,
but
what
I
can
tell
you-
and
let
me
know
if
you
think
this
makes
sense,
but
if
three
members
said
absolutely
not
under
no
scenario
or
or
or
or
qualified
now,
whatever
it
may
be,
I
would
take
that
for
what
it's
worth
and
then,
if
there
is,
let's
say
six
members
that
supported
it,
I
think
Not
only
would
I
go
to
intergovernmental
Affairs
committee,
but
I
would
be
asking
the
committee.
Y
Do
you
think
that
this
reflects
the
will
of
the
majority
of
council?
It's
up
to
you
to
know
your
colleagues
and
your
colleagues
positions,
and
you
know
I
can
always
take
it
so
far,
but
I
I
can
say
that
my
tendency,
if
there
is
any
doubt,
would
be
to
go
to
neutral.
You
know,
even
if
that
means
that
we're
working
with
a
sponsor
that
counted
on
our
support
if
they
make
a
change.
That
is
one
that
really
concerns
me
about
whether
it
reflects
the
majority
well
of
counsel.
K
M
Mayor
Pro,
Tem
I
was
wondering
the
same
thing
Bob,
because
I
think
that
we
had
been
intentional
in
making
sure
that
this
subcommittee
did
have
diversity
of
political
opinion,
but
then
it
shifted
just
a
month
and
a
half
ago
when,
when
we,
you
know
spun
the
wheel
on
on
committee
assignments
again
until
we
did,
we
did
lose
some
perspective.
I
think
and
you
and
I
Bob
had
previously
been
on
an
IGA
subcommittee
and
we
got
off
because
it
was
too
difficult
to
schedule
meetings.
M
Remember
so
I'm
just
wondering:
can
we
can
we
add?
Does
anybody
want
to
join?
Can
we
do
that?
Is
that
and
you
know,
or
can
we
invite
people
to
these
subcommittee
meetings
if
they're
interested
in
bringing
other
viewpoints
I,
don't
know
if
that's
possible,
Carl
or
Sandra?
If
anyone
can
answer
that,
but
if
council
is
interested,
that
might
be
one
way
to
address
Bob's
Point
yeah.
Y
It's
a
really
good
suggestion.
First
of
all,
diversity
and
political
ideology
is.
It
was
certainly
the
ideal
it's
up
to
council
to
decide
what
the
makeup
is.
We
already
have
four
members
so
I
know:
Council
doesn't
have
any
interest
in
allowing
it
to
a
committee
that
would
have
a
forum
so
I.
Imagine
that
would
be
an
issue
so
I
suppose
that
will
lead
the
alternative
for
Council
to
consider
the
representation
that
it
sends
to
the
committee.
O
Well
sorry,
I
was
just
I
was
caught
because
I
was
going
to
call
Clay
on
that,
and
then
I
also
have
questions.
But
my
colleague
is
Carl
I.
Think
what
I
heard
you
say
before
we
kind
of
started
down
this
path
of
questions
was
that
you
know
if
it
were
something
where
you
weren't
quite
sure.
The
committee
wasn't
quite
sure
if
it
reflected
the
will
of
council
that
you
would
check
in
and
it
would
come
back
to
council
right
to
to
kind
of
get
more
of
what
is
the
majority
will
of
council?
O
It's
not
like
the
intergovernmental
Affairs
committee,
which
is
kind
of
make
a
decision,
and
you
know
you
might
be
hesitant
and
be
like
yeah
I,
don't
know
guys,
I'm,
not
sure.
If
that
really
reflects
the
World
Council
I
I
mean
it
seems,
like
there's
already
kind
of
a
measure
in
place
to
protect
that
from
you
know
happening
where,
when
one
group
in
the
intergovernmental
Affairs
committee
would
would
change
everything
that
didn't
necessarily
reflect
the
will
of
council.
Y
You
know
that's
exactly
correct.
I
will
note,
though,
that
by
bringing
it
back
to
the
full
Council,
that
probably
means
we're
not
going
to
be
part
of
that
particular
conversation,
because
by
the
time
it
gets
there
the
decision
will
have
been
made,
but
nonetheless
that
theoretically
is
possible,
and
that
would
be
the
default
either
to
just
you
know,
stay
neutral
or
to
seek
a
full
Council
Direction.
But
you
know
the
whole
program
is
designed.
O
Sure,
thank
you,
I
mean
it
feels
like
that's
kind
of
like
with
all
the
work
we
do
in
the
city
right
we
set
policy,
and
if
it's
it's,
you
know,
people
staff
interpret
it
and
act
on
it,
and
if
it
turns
out
that's
not
right,
then
we
come
back
and
we
have
a
conversation
about
it.
The
so
I
had
my
you
know.
Moving
on
to
my
questions
around
the
number
22
and
the
changes
there,
I
think
what
I
heard
you
said
and
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
confirm.
O
This
is
that
if
there
are
things
being
proposed
that
we're
already
doing
it
doesn't
really
affect
us
in
that
regard,
is
that
right,
I
was
thinking
about
you
know
specifically
we're
working
on
some
video
changes
and
things
right
now.
So
if
something
were
to
come
in
at
the
state
level,
that
was
analogous
to
what
we're
already
doing
locally,
that
wouldn't
really
affect.
What
we're
already
doing
is
that
right.
Y
O
Thank
you,
yeah.
The
analogy
that
was
coming
to
mind
for
me
was
the
plastic
bag
fee
that
you
know
we
didn't
have
to
do
a
whole
lot,
because
we
were
already
doing
it
once
the
state
law
passed
and
then
I
just
had
some
clarification,
questions
I
think
just
you
touched
on
this
a
little
bit
and
I
just
want
to
be
crystal
clear
on
this
for
the
community
because
it
seemed
like
there
was
some
real
concern
about
this.
O
Y
Y
Then
the
question
would
be
you
know:
do
we
meet
minimum
standards?
One.
Y
By
taking
a
position
on
this,
this
would
allow
us
to
be
involved
in
that
discussion
and
it
would
make,
in
my
opinion,
absolutely
no
sense
for
the
number
for
the
city
that
may
be
the
number
one
in
terms
of
homeless,
Services
per
capita
to
not
be
defined
as
meeting
minimum
requirements,
but
yeah.
Obviously
the
devil's
in
the
details,
and
the
idea
is
that,
by
taking
this
position,
we
would
be
able
to
be
at
the
table
and
ensure
that
yeah.
O
M
M
Thank
you
some
proposals
made
by
the
state
legislature
that
says
here
you
know
the
minimum
requirements
to
you
know
that
we
seek
and
after
which
you,
you
know,
cannot
enforce
a
camping
ban,
and
they
say
you
know
four
thousand
square
foot.
You
know
homes
for
everyone
which
we
would
disagree
with
on.
Like
you
know
many
levels
right,
so
we
don't
like
it
whatever
they're
proposing.
What
would
what
would
you
do
or
what
would
become
about?
What's
it's
proposed
you.
Y
Know
I
guess
I.
Y
Would
turn
to
the
underground
Affairs
committee,
but
what,
but
even
before
doing
so,
I
would
already
assume
that
it's
it's
unreasonable
minimum
standards
I
would
check
whether
or
Kirk
fernhoffer,
for
example,
and
say
what
do
you
think
about
this?
Is
this
reasonable
to
impose
on
on
cities
throughout
the
state
and
if
there's
any
question
about
it,
it
being
not
reasonable,
then
I.
Y
M
But
we're
not
set
in
stone
like
by
saying
we
would
support
something
like
this
through
this
sort
of
you
know
theoretical
exercise.
If
something
came
forward,
we're
not
at
a
point
of
no
return.
Is
that
right,
correct?
Thank
you.
Thanks
for
letting
me
call
away
twice.
O
Yeah
no
worries
Rachel
that
clarified
one
of
my
questions
about
the
minimum
requirement
stuff
too
and
Carl
I
just
wanted
to
to
make
sure
as
well
I
think
there
were
some
folks
in
the
community
who
seemed
a
little
bit
concerned
that
you
know
we
were
just
rushing
into
this.
This
is
something
that
we
were
talking
about
like
last
fall
and
that
the
intergovernmental
Affairs
committee
has
kind
of
had
on
their
radar
for
three
four
months
now.
Something
like
that.
So
I
just
just
wanted
to
check
on
that.
Y
That
is
correct.
The
position
that
on
homelessness
has
been
Revisited
pretty
much
at
every
single
meeting.
We
haven't
necessarily
made
change.
This
is
the
first
time
we're
proposing
a
change
in
a
couple
of
years,
but
it's
obviously
been
a
hot
button
for
for
for
Council.
So
there's
been
a
lot
of
change
and
a
lot
of
conversation.
R
Thanks
Mark
Carl,
thanks
for
really
clear
discussion
on
what
you
do,
how
you
do
it,
and,
and
certainly
you
know
the
process
you
go
through
with
regards
to
these
policy
students.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Nicole,
crushed,
really
good
questions,
so
thank
you,
Nicole
for
doing
that.
You've
saved,
certainly
some
oxygen
for
me,
but
I
did
want
to
clarify
sort
of,
and
maybe
it's
just
a
rephrasing
again
just
for
the
community
to
hear
sometimes
hearing
a
thing.
Two
different
three
different
ways
helps
some
grasp.
R
It
there's
some
pedagogy
to
that.
So
it
seems
as
it's
been
sort
of
portrayed
if
we
are
in
opposition
to
something
we
tend
to
be
on
the
sidelines,
looking
in
as
it
formulates
and
and
goes
down
and
goes
through
a
process.
But
if
we
support
we
tend
to
have
a
seat
at
the
table
in
shaping
it.
Y
Yeah,
it's
a
good
question.
I
think
the
analogy
talking
about
being
on
the
sidelines.
I
think
it
puts
us
on
a
different
team
at
that
point.
We're
we're
not
talking
to
data
team,
necessarily
we're
not
working
with
them.
We're
trying
to
beat
them,
which
is
very
different
than
being
invited
onto
the
team
and
then
trying
to
change
the
goals
of
the
strategy
of
the
team.
R
Y
And
I
I
think
I
know
where
are
you
getting
at
and
it's
very
much
true
that
when,
frankly,
when
one
believes
that
a
bill
is
going
to
pass
anyway,
that
there
is
a
majority
that
is
likely
to
support
it,
it
becomes
tactically-
and
you
know
in
in
your
interest
to
say
if
I
want
to
have
influence
on
it.
I
need
to
have
either.
You
know
a
support,
support
if
amended,
something
that
indicates
to
that
sponsor
or
the
sponsors
that
you
could
be
eventually
of
help
to
them,
so
so
also
the
first
decision.
Y
The
first
question
that
is
is
raised
is:
does
this
have
legs?
Does
this
have
a
chance
and
I
could
say
in
the
case
of
the
landing
spills?
I
think
the
answer
is
definitely
yes
and
so
I
think
the
the
committee's
recommendations
would
certainly
make
sense
from
that
perspective
of
if
it's
going
to
go
forward.
Let's
make
sure
the
boulder
is
at
the
table
and
has
an
opportunity
to
shape
it.
T
I
appreciate
that
yeah
that
was
sort
of
my
clarifying
question.
So
thanks
for
that
Carl
and
thanks
Nicole
for
knocking
those
early
ones
out
of
the
park.
C
F
So
talk
about
an
inner
team
I,
definitely
don't
I
have
to
say
that
I
don't
feel
part
of
the
inner
team
of
the
intergovernmental
agency.
Let's
just
put
it
that
way,
so
my
question
is:
is
I
would
like
to
talk
about
what
Rachel
did,
whether
we
think
it
is
I
guess
fair
for
the
intergovernmental
subcommittee
to
not
have
one
point
of
view
on
it
in
particular,
and
whether
we
should
change
that
I
know,
for
instance,
Lauren
and
I
are
on
work
very
well
on
our
subcommittee.
F
Sometimes
we
look
at
things
differently,
but
I
think
without
hearing
that
third
side,
let's
say
there
are
two:
let's
say
there
are
three
sides:
you've
already
made
a
lot
of
decisions
without
us.
So
you've
come
it's
not
like
you
come
a
lot.
You
said,
oh,
what
do
you
think
of
this?
What
do
you
think
of
that?
You've
already
come
to
the
point
where
you're
saying
this
is
what
we
decided
are
you
in,
or
are
you
not
in
so
I?
Don't
feel
part
of
that
conversation?
F
I
can't
really
speak
for
anyone
else,
but
I
know
that
I
don't
so
I
am
asking
if
we
could
possibly
change
the
makeup
of
the
intergovernmental
subcommittee.
I
know
that's
asking
a
lot,
but
I
didn't
want
to
bring
it
up.
M
One
more
time
you
can
have
my
spot
Tara,
we
can
just
all
say
a
thumbs
up
to
that.
Then
mission
accomplished.
X
AE
Yeah,
thank
you.
We
we've
to
definitely
follow
a
process
that
the
the
matter
under
consideration
has
nothing
to
do
with
who's
on
what
committee
and
I
think
that
maybe
we
need
to
speed
this,
take
a
step
back.
Okay,.
Y
You
know
I,
don't
know
if
I'm
in
a
position
to
speculate,
I
think
I
might
get
myself
in
trouble,
not
because
you
know
I'm
saying
something
inappropriate.
Just
because
I
don't
know
the
answer
to
that.
I
think
you
know
your
your
guess
is
as
good
as
mine
at
what
a
bad
legislature
could
do.
Y
Of
course
you
know
it
doesn't
mean
that
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
oppose
it
and
oppose
it
successfully
and
a
co-working.
This
league
who
stands
for
local
control,
Above
All
Else.
Even
they
see
local
control
on
some
issues
where
they
they
recognize
the
need
for
State
interests,
but
we
still
have
a
membership
in
an
organization
called
Municipal
League
that
stands
for
making
sure
that
the
state
does
not
engage
in
overreach.
N
C
Mayor
Brockett
was
there
and
now
he
is
not
we'll
grab
him
when
he
reappears
Judy
did
you
have
a
question.
L
No
I
can
make
a
comment.
I
was
just
gonna,
add
or
ask
a
question
similar
to
Lauren's
comment
and
I.
Think
Carl
alluded
to
it.
How
he's
done
a
lot
of
work
stakeholding
not
just
with
himself
but
also
with
the
municipal
league
and
having
been
on
the
policy
committee
at
the
municipal
league
as
well
so
I
just
know,
based
on
what
I
hear
today
that
a
lot
of
the
work
that
Carl
has
done
is
well
thought
of
throughout
So
yeah.
Thank
you.
C
Saying
no
further
questions
I
think
the
proper
procedure
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
is
to
do
our
public
hearing
and
then
come
back
for
Council
comments
and
decision.
C
Sarah,
do
you
want
to
discuss
the.
C
U
Good
evening
Council,
my
name
is
Sarah
Huntley
I'm,
the
director
of
communication
and
engagement
and
I
am
supporting
with
public
participation
this
evening,
I
believe
we
have
27
folks
signed
up
in
advance
to
testify
on
this
item
this
evening.
I
want
to
just
invite
everybody
to
spend
a
few
minutes
with
us
talking
about
what
our
expectations
and
guidelines
are
for.
Civic
conversations
in
the
city
of
Boulder,
we've
engaged
with
community
members
to
co-create
a
vision
that
really
supports
productive,
meaningful
and
inclusive
conversations.
U
The
vision
is
designed
to
support
physical
and
emotional
safety
for
all
community
members
staff
and
Council,
as
well
as
democracy
and
participation
by
people
of
all
ages,
identities,
lived
experiences
and
political
perspectives.
There's
more
information
about
this
vision
and
the
engagement
process.
We
went
through
on
our
website
next
slide.
Please,
the
following
are
examples
of
how
this
Vision
actually
shows
up
in
some
of
our
rules
of
decorum.
These
rules
will
be
upheld
during
this
meeting
tonight.
All
remarks
and
testimonies
shall
be
limited
to
matters
related
to
City
business.
U
No
participant
shall
make
threats
or
use
other
forms
of
intimidation
against
any
person,
obscenity,
racial
epithets
and
other
speech
and
behavior
that
disrupt
or
otherwise
impede
the
ability
to
conduct
the
meeting
tonight
are
prohibited.
We
do
ask
the
participants
sign
up
to
speak
using
the
name.
They're
commonly
known
by,
and
individuals
must
display
their
whole
name
before
being
allowed
to
speak
online.
Several
of
you
were
able
to
collaborate
with
anybody
in
the
scene.
Make
sure
your
full
name
is
a
split
day.
I
appreciate
that,
currently
only
audio
testimony
is
permitted
online.
U
We
will
toggle
your
ability
to
turn
your
mute
button
off
when
your
name
is
called
by
mayor,
Pro,
tem
Wallach.
Tonight
we
do,
we
don't
have
any
in-person
participants,
so
I
will
go
ahead
and
skip
that
part
of
the
the
guidance.
We
know
that
there's
lots
of
different
viewpoints
in
the
room
tonight
and
we
look
forward
to
a
robust
public
hearing
that
upholds
these
guidelines.
Thank
you.
So
much
thank.
U
W
U
So
good
evening,
I
see
somebody
with
a
720
area
code
phone
number.
Also,
the
next
three
numbers
are
308..
I
have
just
toggled
your
ability
to
speak
to
us.
You
may
have
to
press
star
six
to
unmute
yourself
on
your
phone,
but
if
you
wouldn't
mind
giving
us
your
name,
so
we
can
determine
where
you
fall
on
the
list.
U
Again,
if
you're
calling
in
this
meets
evening,
720-308
are
the
first
few
num
digits
and
this
number
I've
just
given
you
the
ability
to
unmute,
you
may
have
to
press
star
6
on
your
telephone
to
speak
to
us,
but
we're
trying
to
determine
who
this
caller
is.
So
we
can
get
you
slotted
on
our
list
tonight.
C
All
right,
we
will
have
to
come
back
to
that
individual.
Hopefully
it
is
Mr
Thomas,
Ryan,
Harwood,.
AF
Hello,
Council,
I'm
speaking
to
urge
you
to
drop
line
23b
from
the
legislative
agenda
concerning
homeless
survival,
bans,
Under,
The
Heading
fund
and
protect
the
city's
ability
to
reduce
homelessness.
AF
The
proposed
language
implies
that
camping
bans
can
have
a
positive
or
at
least
neutral
impact
on
reducing
homelessness,
but
this
is
contradicted
by
virtually
all
of
the
academic
research
on
the
subject.
Here
are
a
few
studies
of
relevant
peer-reviewed
studies
in
February
2020.
The
journal
social
Pro
problems
published
a
study
of
homeless
individuals
in
San,
Francisco
titled,
pervasive
penalty,
how
the
criminalization
of
poverty

I
will
just
let
you
know
that
Tim
Thomas
has
come
into
the
room.
Would
you
like
us
to
go
back
to
him
or
do
you
want.
AB
Can
you
hear
me
now?
Yes,
sorry
about
that?
I
was
watching
on
TV
and
I.
Didn't
I
forgot
to
go
on
anywho
I,
look
forward
to
seeing
how
quickly
BHP
will
actually
put
an
independently
independent,
scientifically
administered
survey,
completed
and
presented
full
disclosure
I'm
a
BHP
resident
related
to
federal
law,
Title
24,
chapter
9,
part
964.
This
is
related
to
resident
board
members
on
BHP
board.
I
would
humbly
ask
the
city
to
request
a
change
in
this
federal
law
parting,
starting
with
part
964.410,
removing
the
sentence.
AB
Direct
assistance
does
not
include
any
state
finance,
housing
assistance
or
Section
8
project-based
assistance,
I
believe
someone
missed
bespoke
before
when
they
said
that
city
council
chooses
all
nine
board
members
of
BHP.
In
fact,
up
until
now,
BHP
boards
have
included
a
resident
commissioner,
that
is
chosen
by
BHP
residents.
Eight
board
members
actually
go
through
the
city
council
boards
and
Commissioners
process.
The
ninth
is
not
Council,
chooses
eight
and
they
have
affirmed
the
ninth.
Please
let
bhp's
board
keep
a
resident
member
on
board
of
the
37
BHP
complexes.
AB
Only
one
is
directly
assistant
as
a
public
housing.
The
other
people
who
can
be
a
resident
commissioner,
are
those
who
have
tenant
based
Section
8
vouchers
who,
whether
they
live
within
or
without
BHP
properties.
Hud
has
allowed
several
of
the
properties
to
go
from
public
housing
to
prosecutive
vouchers
and
25.
Affordable
housing
properties
may
have
tenants
in
it,
but
they
don't
necessarily
do
so
of
the
4
000
people.
Only
a
small
group
of
people
could
be
made
to
be
the
president
Commissioners
on
the
BHP
board.
That's.
C
C
G
Good
evening,
I
support
the
effort
to
update
item
number
22
to
align
with
the
Statewide
efforts
to
provide
more
and
reduce
parking
requirements
in
our
residential
zones.
Seeing
this
change
come
through
soon
after
hearing
the
most
recent
State
of
the
State
is
so
exciting.
I
see
this
as
a
critical
moment
in
Boulder's
history,
with
the
potential
to
be
a
turning
point
where
we
can
relax
our
burdensome
local
zoning
regulations
and
embrace
the
changes
and
all
the
good
that
comes
with
them.
G
We've
learned
by
now
that
the
status
quo
simply
isn't
sustainable
and
the
the
single-family
zoning
laws
of
the
past
were
sadly
designed
to
keep
people
out.
I'm
hopeful
that
Boulder
can
be
a
big
part
of
the
Statewide
effort
to
overturn
this
to
create
a
better
future
and
to
make
the
monoculture
of
single-family
residential
zoning
a
thing
of
the
past.
G
We
have
a
lot
of
very
smart
elected
officials
and
other
community
leaders
working
locally
and
Statewide,
who
can
help
lead
the
way
to
attaining
the
governor's
vision
of
a
Colorado
for
all
I
hope.
We
can
listen
to
what
they
have
to
say
and
take
action
recalling
that
Governor
polis
recently
won
the
election
by
over
80
percent
in
Boulder
County.
It's
likely
that
these
efforts
to
address
the
housing
crisis
will
be
very
popular
with
the
majority
of
local
voters.
G
Change
is
healthy
and
it's
a
big
part
of
what
makes
our
cities
fun
and
wonderful
places
to
live.
This
is
what
progress
is
all
about,
looking
forward
to
and
working
towards,
a
better
future,
a
big
thank
you
to
all
of
the
all
of
you
and
all
of
those
involved
in
drafting
and
supporting
these
changes.
Good
night.
AG
There
we
go
I
had
to
unmute.
Can
you
hear
me
now?
Yes,
we
can
all
right
good
evening,
council
members,
Darren
O'connor
I'm
here
to
encourage
you
to
eliminate
item
23b
with
which
the
city
would
lobby
at
the
state
level
to
allow
cities
who
provide
some
minimum
amount
of
basic
homeless
services
to
ban
camping
in
public
spaces.
AG
At
least
that's
one
interpretation,
because
combating
homelessness
is
incredibly
vague
in
23A,
for
some
in
Boulder,
using
a
fire
hose
against
unhoused
neighbors
would
equal
combating
homelessness.
You
may
be
surprised
to
learn.
I
do
not
believe
the
solution
to
homelessness
is
allowing
people
to
Camp
any
and
everywhere
some
of
you,
like
council
member
Yates,
even
shared
when
you
ran
for
your
Council
seat,
that
we
have
over
80
parks
and
that
we
should
be
able
to
accommodate
some
camping
sites
for
people
experiencing
homelessness.
AG
Yet
we
still
have
not
one
such
space
and
just
as
much
as
I
agree,
camping,
any
and
everywhere
is
not
a
solution.
Neither
is
Boulder's
camping
van
that
killed,
Jessica
aldama
and
her
baby
Boulder
has
increased
law
enforcement
dedicated
to
enforcing
the
camping
ban
and
in
2021
the
bar
for
due
process
was
lowered
so
that
police
could
take
people's
tents
in
public
spaces
with
next
to
no
notice
walk
outside
council
chambers.
Tonight,
a
few
blocks
in
any
direction
and
you'll
see
how
ineffective
The
increased
Reliance
on
enforcement
of
camping
and
shelter
bans
has
been.
AG
The
evidence
is
in
front
of
your
very
faces
every
week
that
this
that
this
does
not
work.
Trying
to
hide
poverty
from
our
community
is
a
failed
policy,
and
it's
not
a
policy.
Boulder
should
Lobby
to
become
a
Statewide
policy.
Please
vote
no
on
proposed
item
23b
and
please
clarify
item
23A.
Thank
you.
AA
Hi
Council,
my
name
is
Rebecca
Davies
and
I'm,
a
member
of
Boulder's
Transportation,
Advisory
Board.
So
I'm
calling
to
thank
you
for
these
proposed
revisions
to
the
city's
policy
statement.
Specific
specifically,
item
number
22
related
to
land
use
change.
AA
I
support
this
modification
to
the
statement,
because
it
is
not
possible
for
Boulder
to
meet
its
Transportation
master
plan
objectives
without
changing
its
land
use
practices.
As
an
example.
Objective
number
eight
is
that
80
of
the
population
will
live
in
a
walkable
neighborhood
by
2030.
That
number
was
43
in
2019,
so
we
have
quite
a
big
gap
to
cover
the
transportation
department
can
build
sidewalks
and
safe
Crossings,
but
they
can't
make
it
easier
for
people
to
live
closer
closer
to
their
job
or
the
grocery
store.
AA
AA
It's
also
really
important,
because
not
all
trips
that
start
in
Boulder
will
end
in
Boulder,
and
if
our
neighboring
cities
aren't
similarly
committed
to
these
kinds
of
performs,
then
we
will
fall
short
of
our
mode
shift
goals.
So,
to
reiterate,
it's
it's
not
possible
for
Boulder
to
meet
its
Transportation
master
plan
objectives
without
these
kinds
of
land
use
changes.
So
I
encourage
you
to
support
this
policy
statement
change
and
also
want
to
thank
Carl
for
discussing
the
city's
policy
positions
with
tab.
AH
Good
evening
city
council,
I'm
David
Ensign,
a
resident
of
Boulder
who
joined
the
board
of
better
Boulder.
Last
month,
Rosie
fibian
and
I
wrote
a
commentary
for
publication
in
the
Daily
Camera
titled,
better
Boulder
sees
opportunity
cautionary
tales
in
housing
strategy.
The
piece
describes
our
enthusiasm
in
supporting
Regional
and
Statewide
approaches
to
addressing
affordable
housing
and
land
use
and
ideas
around
assuring
public
support.
AH
For
these
approaches
it
was
very
encouraging
to
see
how
much
consensus
there
was
in
better
Boulder's,
diverse
group
in
reacting
to
Governor
polis's
State
of
the
State
address
that
challenges
Colorado
to
step
up
and
solve
many
of
the
housing
related
issues
we've
identified
over
the
years.
The
Daily
Camera
put
this
commentary
up
on
their
website
earlier
today
and
I
sent
a
link
to
you
so
I
hope
you
have
a
chance
to
read
it
and
I
hope
you
find
our
thoughts.
Useful
betterbuller
also
supports
the
revision
22
to
the
city's
policy
statement
under
review.
AH
We're
encouraged
to
see
Boulder
signing
on
promptly
the
support
state
housing
policy
efforts
in
conjunction
with
the
better
Boulder
positions.
There
are
a
couple
of
observations.
I
would
like
to
offer
as
an
individual
in
my
non-profit
work
with
Community
Foundation
at
Boulder
County
out
Boulder
County,
Modis,
theater
and
Boulder
County
AIDS
project,
as
well
as
my
involvement
with
the
city's
connector
program.
I
have
witnessed
the
intense
challenges
some
of
our
most
vulnerable
community
members
face
in
solving
their
housing
needs.
AH
AH
Finally,
beyond
the
housing
subject,
I
found
it
very
useful
to
review
the
State
Legislative
Bill
tracker,
HB,
23
1057
amenities
for
all
genders
in
public
buildings
is
of
great
interest
to
many
lgbtq
plus
people
and
allies
in
Boulder.
So
I
was
glad
to
see
that
on
the
support
list,
there's
some
other
great
bills
on
the
list
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
more
in
the
future.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you.
Next
is
Aiden
Reed.
AI
Good
evening
Council,
my
name
is
Aiden
Reed
I'm
here
this
evening,
to
speak
in
opposition
to
proposed
changes
to
number
23
in
Boulder's
policy
statement
on
regional
state
and
federal
issues,
I'm
concerned
that
the
language
in
section
23b
is
intentionally
vague
and
allows
for
an
imprecise
interpretation
of
quote
minimum
requirements,
as
outlined
23A
camping
bands
and
sweeps
do
not
prevent
crime
or
homelessness.
AI
If
we
want
a
safer,
more
secure,
Boulder
for
all
getting
people
housed
and
access
to
the
resources
they
need
should
be
our
priority
in
camping
bans,
while
superficially
effective,
do
not
do
that.
Camping
bans
effectively
criminalize
homelessness,
creating
an
environment
in
which
the
only
response
is
a
punitive
one,
one
that
is
insufficient
for
the
scale
of
the
crisis
and
the
multi-pronged
response
it
requires
of
the
over
one
of
the
over
five
million
dollars.
Boulder
has
invested
in
enforcing
the
camping
ban
if
those
would
be
better
spent
on
social
services
and
housing
supports.
AI
No
one
denies
the
severity
of
the
homelessness
crisis
in
Boulder.
It
is
unacceptable
and
untenable,
but
a
punitive
causal
response
to
the
crisis
will
not
solve
it.
It
worsens
it
merely
displacing
the
unhoused
not
actually
addressing
the
conditions
that
create
an
exacerbate
homelessness,
housing
and
security
and
crime.
Instead,
we
should
expand
Pathways
to
housing
and
services
and
for
those
people
who
are
incarcerated,
we
should
seek
to
end
the
cycle
of
incarceration
by
sustained
long-term
Supportive
Services,
as
is
feasible,
I
hope
the
council
will
take
this
feedback
into
consideration.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you.
Our
next
speaker
is
Joy
love,
Andrews,.
AJ
Hi
I'm
Joy
love,
Andrews
I
am
a
community
tenant
leader
with
a
national,
low-income
housing.

do
advocacy
with
Colorado
cross
coalition.
AJ
AJ
C
Thank
you,
Micah
James
is
next.
J
B
Sorry
I
was
just
wondering
if
I
could
just
say
to
the
last
speaker
that
if
perhaps
you
could
send
us
in
your
email,
your
information
contact
information
via
email.
We
could
contact
you
directly
and
follow
up
on
on
the
thing
that
you
just
mentioned.
So
just
invite
you
to
do
that.
AK
Statewide
mandates
can
adversely
affect
both
Boulder
and
other
communities
gentrification,
which
pushes
out
minority
communities
and
people
with
limited
incomes
is
the
most
widely
decried
adverse
effect
of
mandated
market-driven
development.
The
amendment
position
22
would
commit
the
city
to
supporting
four
smart
growth
policy
principles
from
a
list
presented
to
Governor
polis.
The
smart
growth
approach
gives
short
shrift
to
affordability
requirements,
relying
instead
on
the
idea
that
more
housing
automatically
ensures
affordability.
We
know
that
model
does
not
work
in
Boulder,
because
our
housing
market
is
inelastic.
AK
It
could
also
Place
undue
burdens
on
communities
less
affluent
than
our
own
seating.
Local
control
over
land
use
to
State
mandates
in
order
to
increase
housing
stock,
ignores
constantly
changing
real
estate
markets,
differing
land
and
infrastructure
costs
and
profit
margins,
and
the
local
labor
Supply,
none
of
which
state
or
local
governments
can
control.
We
all
share
the
goal
of
increasing
the
stock
of
affordable
housing,
but
70
percent
of
Colorado's
population
live
in
home
rural
municipalities.
AK
Local
government
control
provides
legislators
with
feedback
on
how
proposals
will
affect
local
communities,
allowing
them
to
write
more
effective
laws
that
people
will
support.
Please
consider
the
merits
of
preserving
local
control
over
land
use
and
working
through
it
to
achieve
our
housing
goals.
Before
voting
on
this
amendment,
thank
you.
C
Lisa
Kurt
norback
is
next.
AC
Hi
I'm,
Kurt,
nordbeck,
modern
land
use
planning
began
a
hundred
or
so
years
ago.
In
that
time,
zoning
power,
which
constitutionally
rests
with
the
states
as
a
police
power
as
almost
exclusively
been
delegated
to
the
cities
that
worked
fine
for
a
long
time,
but
in
that
Century
land
use
restrictions,
especially
on
more
affordable
forms
of
housing,
became
vastly
more
stringy
and
Arcane.
Today,
partly
as
a
result
of
increasingly
restrictive
local
zoning,
we
have
a
full-blown
National
housing
crisis,
a
crisis
that
is
particularly
severe
in
Colorado.
AC
What
was
once
an
isolated
problem
now
extends
from
Craig
to
Cortez,
from
Rocky
Ford
to
Fort
Morgan,
it's
in
cities,
large
and
small
Resort
spots
to
AG
centers
everywhere
on
the
Front
Range,
and
certainly
in
the
Boulder
area.
It's
hurting
people
hurting
our
economy
and
hurting
our
environment.
Our
each
City
for
itself
approach
is
not
working.
Boulder
has
made
some
progress
in
allowing
more
and
more
affordable
housing,
but
we
need
to
go
further
and
crucially,
we
need
other
cities
in
the
region
and
Beyond
to
come
along
with
us.
AC
AC
Sensible,
Statewide
reform
that
sets
basic
floors
and
uniform
standards
will
provide
that.
That's
why
I
urge
you
to
support
the
changes
in
the
city's
policy
statement,
number
22,
as
recommended
by
the
intergovernmental
Affairs
committee,
if
we
can
all
work
together
to
address
the
housing
crisis,
that
will
be
good
for
the
state
and
good
for
Boulder.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you,
Kurt
Emily,
Reynolds,.
W
Good
evening,
Council
was
it
under
cover
of
Nightfall
that
you
decided
to
propose
taking
away
Boulder's
decision-making
power
on
land
use
and
Seed
decisions
about
the
camping
ban
to
the
state.
Perhaps
it's
poor
governance
to
let
the
state
decide
the
two
most
important
topics
of
local
concern,
or
perhaps
a
bit
more
than
that
I
say
a
new
level
of
sleaze
has
been
attained
by
the
self-proclaimed
progressives
in
our
city:
government
Lauren,
folkerts,
Nicole,
Speer,
Rachel
friend,
Matt
Benjamin,
Aaron
Brockett
I
find
your
behavior
in
this
matter.
W
Crooked,
dishonest,
dishonorable,
disgraceful,
deceitful,
double-toned,
deceptive
duplicitous,
sleazy,
surreptitious,
sneaky
stealthy,
shameful,
shabby
shoddy
two-faced,
underhanded,
unprincipled,
unlawful
and
also
very
bad
governance.
Even
the
name
of
the
agenda
item
is
deceptive
policy
statement
on
regional
state
and
federal
issues
doesn't
really
indicate
that
your
Reckless
counsel
is
going
to
officially
open
the
floodgates
to
drug
adult
transient
cambers
by
overturning
the
camping
ban.
Is
the
idea
to
destroy
the
city,
harm
business
businesses
and
make
people
suffer
if
so,
you're
succeeding

Good
evening,
council
member,
my
name
is
Claudia
Hansen
theme
and
I've
been
following
the
city's
housing,
transportation
and
land
use
work
for
the
last
five
years
as
a
part
of
many
different
resident
groups.
It's
an
item,
speaking
for
myself,
land
use
legislation
requested
this
year
by
Governor
paulus,
presents
an
opportunity
to
make
significant
progress
on
housing
and
transportation,
and
it
offers
the
prospect
of
a
Level
Playing
Field
for
municipalities
engaging
on
these
issues.
Affordability,
sprawl
and
car
dependence
are
Regional
problems
that
require
fast
and
comprehensive
action
fast
and
comprehensive
action.
X
Maybe
it
reflects
my
own
shortcomings
as
an
organizer,
but
these
qualities
feel
Out
Of
Reach
for
our
community.
My
experience
tracking
land
use
policy
has
been
one
of
watching
Boulders
spin
its
wheels
or
at
thus
tinker
and
iterate,
while
best
practice
moves
on
and
with
every
timid
decision
and
half
measure.
We
lock
in
years
of
misdirected
and
sub-optimal
investment.
X
The
changes
proposed
to
position
22
of
the
city's
policy
statement
would
position
Boulder,
where
it
should
be.
As
a
leader
in
climate
and
Equity
driven
solutions
to
our
Regional
Housing
and
transportation
crises,
they
would
allow
us
to
support
the
kinds
of
Common
Sense
policies.
Other
forward-looking
municipalities
are
using
to
increase
housing
access
and
reduce
vehicle
miles,
traveled
right
now,
adus
plexus
parking
reform,
neighborhoods
that
actually
support
the
transit
Investments.
X
We
pledge
to
make
local
control
can
be
of
value
when
we
are
truly
leading
on
an
issue
or
when
there
are
threats
of
constraint
from
an
overzealous
state.
But
we
know
too
from
history
that
it
is
just
as
often
used
to
defend
privilege
and
stymy
progress.
Local
control
is
not
inherently
good
or
bad.
Our.
AA
X
Agenda
shouldn't
hinge
on
this
tired
slogan,
but
rather
it
should
support
the
policy
outcomes.
We
need
to
support
equity
and
quality
of
life
for
future
Generations.
There
is
power
in
working
together
and
at
a
larger
scale,
on
housing,
transportation
and
land
use.
Let's
update
our
legislative
agenda
to
reflect
that
reality.
Thank
you.
U
U
A
little
bit
of
scratchiness
and
your
microphone
is
looking
like
it's
trying
to
work,
but
we
can't
hear
you
at
the
moment.
Can
you
hear
me
now
we.
AL
Can
okay
great
hold
on
one
second
need
to
make
a
little
adjustment:
okay,
I'm
ready,
then
my
name
is
Kathleen
Hancock
at
its
heart.
This
measure
is
about
our
city
council,
wanting
to
delegate
their
lawmaking.
Responsibility
to
the
state
delegating
decision-making.
Authority
is
deeply
problematic
for
several
reasons.
People
who
were
not
elected
by
us
will
make
decisions
for
us.
We
might
agree
with
overall
goals,
but
not
policy
specifics.
The
devil
is
in
the
detail.
How
long
will
this
delegation
last?
Can
we
withdraw
it
later
under
what
circumstances?
AL
What
other
local
decision
making
will
the
state
come
for?
Next?
Are
you
binding
the
next
city
council
to
policies
they
may
or
may
not
support
legislatures
change?
We
might
like
them
now.
What
about
next
time?
There's
also
the
issue
of
process.
One
of
the
key
pillars
of
social
justice
is
procedure,
making
sure
all
can
contribute
in
thoughtful
ways.
This
item
went
suddenly
from
a
study
session
to
a
public
hearing.
Some
of
us
jumped
quickly
trying
to
understand
what
is
at
stake,
but
most
Boulder
rights
are
unaware.
Rushing
boats
undermines
democracy.
AL
That's
not
the
Bolder
way,
we're
famous
some
might
say
Infamous
for
our
active
Community
engagement,
let's
not
abandon
that
in
the
name
of
weighing
in
quickly
on
legislation
that
does
not
even
exist.
The
comment
that
these
issues
are
no
surprise
misses
the
point
that
these
issues
have
long
been
discussed
is
not
the
same
as
putting
them
forward
in
a
completed
statement.
My
ask:
do
not
vote
tonight.
Wait
for
specific
legislation.
AL
AM
Hi
city
council,
Eric,
Budd
I,
live
in
Boulder
thanks
for
covering
this
important
issue
of
Statewide
housing
legislation.
Tonight,
one
thing
I
wanted
to
notice
is
just
how
important
Statewide
housing
legislation
has
been
really
across
the
country,
but
largely
the
West
Coast
has
has
really
forged
the
way
on
this.
What
we're
seeing
in
harm
places
with
Democratic
super
majorities,
which
Colorado
is
bordering
on
one
now
places
like
California
and
Oregon
Washington,
have
really
made
Giants
progress
with
with
housing
in
states.
That
really
has
has
stagnated
for
decades.
AM
We
all
know
that
we
don't
want
to
become
California
and
as
Boulder
we
don't
want
to
become
Palo
Alto
because
of
just
the
total
unreachability
of
of
access
to
housing
for
average
people
and
I.
Think
it's
really
so
important
that
council
is
taking
this
up
and
taking
steps
because,
as
we
saw
at
the
beginning
of
this
meeting,
we
have
great
organizations
in
the
city
like
older
housing
partners
that
are
doing
incredible
work.
AM
But
we
know
as
one
city
alone
we
just
we
cannot
possibly
meet
the
housing
needs
of
the
whole
state,
and
it's
finally
reached
a
point
that
we
need
Statewide
action
and
I'm,
really
thankful
for
governor
polis
for
taking
this
up
and
pushing
forward
this
housing
plan.
And
we
we
don't
know
the
exact
details,
but
I
think
what
you
all
proposed
is
is
the
right
framework.
AM
So
thank
you
for
Council,
supporting
this
and
I
really
think
it's
important
to
to
note
that
we
have
a
strong
Democratic
majority
in
the
states
under
Democratic
governor
and
those
on
Council
who
oppose
Statewide
action
on
housing
and
other
Democratic
priorities,
You're,
simply
not
acting
as
Democrats
and
we'll
make
sure
the
electorate
knows
when,
when
you
all
run
for
re-election.
Thank
you.
E
Hi
city
council,
Martha,
roskowski,
Boulder
resident,
mostly
off
and
on
since
1977,
so
a
long
time,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
this.
I
want
to
speak
to
item
22.
today
and
thanks
for
putting
this
on
the
agenda
I.
E
We
are
hoping
to
see
a
bill
move
forward
that
supports,
affordable
housing
that
addresses
anti-displacement
that
addresses
gentrification
so
to
a
previous
speaker
that
is
part
of
the
consideration
is.
How
can
we
do
this
in
a
really
good
way?
I
want
to
reinforce
Carl's
suggestion
that
Boulders
should
be
at
the
table.
We
need
cities
at
the
table
that
get
this
that
can
help
to
craft
this
legislation
in
ways
that
address
our
Statewide
housing
crisis
with
regional
and
Statewide
Solutions,
but
also
that
work
for
individual
cities.
E
This
is
complex
stuff.
It
is
really
hard
having
kind
of
diving
into
the
actual
language
of.
How
would
you
achieve
these
goals
in
ways
that
really
work?
And
it's
crucial
that
this
works
for
cities?
It
does
require
that
there
be
some
Statewide
guidance,
some
Statewide
standards,
some
Statewide
approaches
but
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
room
for
flexibility
for
cities
to
still
continue
the
good
work
that
they're
doing
so
I
think
that's
all
I
have
to
say.
E
AN
Hello,
this
is
Daniel
Howard
I
live
in
the
west
of
Apple
Hill
Neighborhood
of
Boulder
I
also
call
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
EMB
action
organization.
Yes,
in
my
backyard
in
the
urban
environment,
this
is
a
part
of
that
organization.
I
am
in
support
of
proposition
22
and
partnering,
with
the
state
and
seating,
some
I'm
up
to
control
a
meaningful
amount
of
control
towards
the
state
and
organizing
efforts,
Statewide
and
region
wide
towards
helping
cities
work
with
each
other
towards
addressing
a
housing
affordability.
AN
Specifically
I
have
many
colleagues
at
ncar
that
actually
cannot
afford
to
live
in
Boulder
and
they
have
then
work
moved
and
now
live
and
work
from
boomfield
Superior,
Lewisville
et
cetera
many
satellite
towns
of
Boulder.
This
has
basically
taken
place
because
of
the
exasperated
housing
costs
within
Boulder,
County
and
Boulder
City
itself,
where
they
may
might
prefer
to
stay
late
living,
perhaps
near
ncar
itself.
AN
Nonetheless,
because
of
these
sort
of
insulated
issues
of
how
Landers
are
formed
within
individual
cities
plays
out
that
exacerbates
people's
choices
to
choose
far
away
destinations
and
have
to
commute
to
longer
distances
and
even
stay
pushed
into
Wildland
Urban
interfaces
where
their
housing
might
be
then
under
Threat
by
uncontrolled
urban
sprawl.
I
I
see
this
systematic
issue
across
municipalities
as
requiring
a
state
higher
level
entity
such
as
the
state
to
help
cities
coordinate
to
minimize
these
sort
of
Investments
fall
that
the
current
Dynamic
and
Boulder
is
contributing
towards
so
I.
AN
Very
much
appreciate.
Boulder's.
Current
commitment
towards
this
language

in

I
might
also
suggest

of
the
second
paragraph:

such
as
May
and

to
instead
say

Hi
good
evening,
City
Council-
this
is
Sarah.
Don
I
am
speaking
as
the
chair
of
the
Sierra
Club
Indian
Peaks
group,
and
we
are
in
support
of
the
pro-housing
legislative
priorities
and
the
local
control
is
important
in
many
contexts.
The
cascading
effects
of
scarcity
and
affordable
housing
create
impacts
at
the
regional
State
national
levels
when
housing
is
restricted
and
prohibited,
and
core
walkable
and
Transit
oriented
neighborhoods
of
towns
and
cities.
The
inevitable
consequences,
sprawling
card
dependent
developments
located
Far
From,
Any
destinations,
air
pollution
and
carbon
emissions
impacting
Beyond
Municipal
borders.
V
The
Denver
metro
area
is
currently
in
severeign
standards
as
a
result
of
the
huge
number
of
automobile
Vehicles
miles.
Traveled
and,
of
course,
concentrating
housing
and
other
uses
in
compact.
Walkable
neighborhoods
prevents
suburban
sprawl
and
reduces
human
impacts
on
the
vulnerable
ecosystems,
which
have
have
always
been
a
fundamental
Sierra
Club
concern.
V
For
these
reasons,
we
support
item
22
of
the
city's
policy
statement
a
through
D
and
the
CR
Club
supports
these
goals
and
urges
to
support
required,
minimal,
Municipal,
housing,
production
and
Zone
density
along
Transit
corridors,
as
other
places
have
already
done,
and
removing
all
minimum
parking
requirements.
As
over
200
cities
have
already
done
the
above
goals,
align
with
the
housing
affordability,
initiatives
proposed
in
Governor
pulse's
23
State
of
the
State
address,
and
will
help
build
momentum
to
ensure
their
implementation,
and,
personally
speaking,

in

Justice.
V
AO
Thank
you,
Council
I,
wanted
to
say
a
few
things
in
support
of
item
22
in
Boulder,
which
is
a
city,
I
love,
so
much
working
people's
living
conditions
have
degraded
over
the
decades
and
tragically,
this
has
become
more
acute
since
the
pandemic
and
inflation
people
are
struggling
to
survive
and
one
of
the
ways
we
can
help
them
is
by
bringing
down
the
cost
of
passing
as
Boulder
refuses
to
grow.
Working
people
are
pushed
further
and
further
from
the
core
of
our
city.
AO
Unaffordable
housing
is
a
fundamental
Injustice
and
we,
the
people
who
are
privileged
enough
to
live
in
Boulder,
are
forcing
the
people
who
make
our
world
better
teachers,
nurses,
bartenders
office
managers
cashiers
to
live
outside
the
city
that
we
hold
so
dear.
We
must
grow
to
make
Boulder
a
city
for
all
again.
We
must
support
the
state
of
Colorado's
oversight
on
land
use.
I
also
wanted
to
say
something
about
23b
I
I
didn't
know
about
that.
AO
Until
I
got
here,
I
think
that
should
be
removed
entirely
unhoused
people
are
neighbors,
we
should
treat
them.
Such
everyone
deserves
dignity.
Our
community
should
support
them
and
unhoused
people
should
not
be
punished
for
existing.
That
is
all
thank
you.
AP
Although
for
policy
22
as
a
whole,
we
don't
need
to
seed
power
to
the
state
unmanaging,
our
our
own
City
camping
Bans
are
effective
at
dissuading,
more
out-of-state
vagrants
from
gathering
in
our
city.
We
already
carry
too
much
the
national
burden,
just
for
being
a
small
city
of
one
hundred
thousand
on
the
issue
of
rent
control,
it
doesn't
really
work
well,
you
can
look
at
New,
York,
City
and
data
in
Upstate,
New,
York
and
more
recent
legislation.
AP
There's
plenty
of
other
ways
you
can
address
this
but
rent
as
a
as
somebody
who's
managed,
21,
low-income,
rentals,
rent
control
is
there's
a
lot
of
reasons
technically
why
it
doesn't
work
well.
AP
So
that's
that
for
that
issue,
as
far
as
photo
speed
control
at
a
time
when
distracted
driving
has
over
overtaken
speed
as
a
cause
of
accidents,
I
I
think
this
is
sort
of
out
of
line
with,
what's
actually
happening
on
the
road
and
it
also
the
advocacy
groups
that
are
pushing
this
or
receiving
money
from
the
corporations
that
are
installing
and
providing
services.
So
there's
a
lot
of
there's
a
Kickbacks
coming
back
to
them.
So
you
know,
as
far
as
dealing
with
accidents,
speed
is
not
the
main
issue.
AP
If
you
drive
around
Boulder,
you
can
see
when
you
compare
to
other
cities.
I
drive
around
the
country.
All
the
time
and
Boulder
is
definitely
not
does
not
have
issues
with
speed
it's,
but
they
do
have
issues
with
the
lower
speed
accidents
due
to
distracted
driving.
So
those
are
the
three
issues
that
that
I'm
addressing
today.
So
thanks.
AQ
Hello
Council,
my
name
is
Joey
syracusa
I
live
in
South
Boulder
I
do
not
support
the
changes
to
23b
and
would
like
23
be
removed
entirely,
although
Boulder
can
sometimes
feel
like
a
bubble.
The
truth
is,
is
that
homosis
is
a
problem
affecting
every
city
in
the
United
States.
AQ
Unless
this
is
not
a
bolder
specific
problem
and
I,
don't
think
a
localist
approach
will
help
us
solve
the
problem.
In
addition,
the
camping
ban
does
not
contribute
to
Public
Safety,
nor
does
it
fix
a
housing
crisis.
It
simply
sweeps
the
problem
under
the
rug
and
disperses
the
homeless
people
to
other
areas
of
our
city.
As
previous
community
members
have
mentioned
in
this
call,
you
can
simply
walk
outside
and
see
how
this
policy
is
an
abject
failure.
AQ
The
camping
ban
is
also
cruel.
We
had
a
very
cold
and
snowy
January,
stealing
tents
from
homeless
people
is
a
risk
to
their
life
Boulder,
and
the
state
of
Colorado
should
focus
on
evidence-based
solution
to
reducing
homelessness.
My
rent
personally
was
raised
33
last
year.
If
the
council
wants
to
reduce
homelessness,
the
council
should
focus
on
bringing
down
rents
and
building
more
housing,
especially
publicly
owned
housing.
Please
remove
23b
entirely
from
this
resolution.
Thank
you.

Good
evening
city
council
and
mayor
Pro,
tem
I'm
Paul
Hamilton
I'm,
a
CU
graduate
environmental
engineer,
Colorado
professional
engineer,
I
volunteer
40
to
60
hours
a
month,
working
with
with
the
homeless.
My
observations
are:
Boulder
is
a
homeroom
home
rule
municipality.
To
me,
that
means
local
control
and
minimum
State
intervention.
Earlier
we
heard
about
the
success
of
BHP
a
local
initiative.
AD
The
reality
is
that
the
legislature
is
largely
controlled
by
Denver
citizens
and
adjoining
City
voters,
given
their
large
numbers.
Their
priorities
may
not
align
with
Bolder
citizens.
Mr
Castillo
earlier
talked
about
overreach
one
Regional.
A
failure
that
came
to
mind
is
the
construction
of
a
light
rail
system
into
Boulder
County.
We
paid
taxes
for
many
years.
It
never
happened.
Other
priorities
took
president
Boulder
should
clearly
work
with
others
on
issues
concerning
zoning
housing,
land
use
and
transportation,
but
not
give
away
control,
city,
council
and
manager.
Please
do
not
abdicate
your
responsibilities
to
the
Colorado
legislature.
AD
AR
Good
evening,
Council
I'm
Chase
Cromwell,
a
junior
at
CU
Boulder
legislative
affairs
director
in
our
Student
Government,
a
quick
thanks
to
Mayor
Brockett
for
his
Transit
advocacy
right
now
in
D.C
closing
our
way
back
to
Boulder
as
students
and
student
leaders.
We
urge
you
to
continue
taking
bold
action
to
increase
housing
access
at
the
state
level.
It's
clear
that
the
state
plans
to
take
action
in
this
session
and
it's
crucial
for
the
health
of
Boulder
and
Boulder's
local
government
that
we're
involved
in
those
conversations
limited
access
to
housing
is
a
gigantic
economic
and
climate
issue.
AR
Workers,
students,
economic
drivers
and
our
community
neighbors
are
being
forced
into
impossible
rents
and
priced
into
neighboring
cities.
The
rise
of
commuting
for
work
and
for
school
is
quickly
becoming
an
existential
threat
to
our
climate
agenda.
If
we
love
Boulder
so
much,
why
are
we
so
committed
to
keeping
it
hard
for
people
to
live
here?
This
is
not
about
delegating
responsibilities
to
the
state
legislature.
It's
about
making
sure
the
local
state
and
local
governments
are
all
at
the
table
and
creating
the
best
results
for
our
community.
Boulder
cannot
solve
issues
without
the
state.
AR
AS
Good
evening
Council
and
thank
you
for
having
us
here
tonight-
my
name
is
Quinn
and
I
am
a
senior
at
CU
Boulder
I'm
here
tonight,
to
express
my
support
for
the
proposed
changes
to
item
22..
The
housing
crisis
in
Colorado
is
not
limited
to
Boulder,
though
we
have
felt
its
effects
particularly
acutely.
AS
We
know
that
restrictive
zoning
practices
are
among
the
greatest
contributors
to
the
challenges
that
exist
in
the
boulder
housing
market
today,
as
the
negative
impacts
of
these
policies
felt
by
coloradans
continue
to
increase,
so
will
the
calls
for
change,
but
simply
this
is
not
a
topic
that
can
be
perpetually
ignored.
Sooner
or
later,
we
will
have
to
recognize
that
restricting
our
community's
ability
to
meet
the
demand
for
housing
has
become
an
impediment
to
Boulder's
future
as
a
livable
City.
AS
C
You're
welcome
all
right
with
that
we're
going
to
return
this
matter
to
council.
There
are
two
people
who
I
want
to
give
some
immediate
priority
to,
and
the
first
is
Juni.
L
Thank
you,
mayor,
Pro,
tem
brockette,
and
also
thank
you
to
my
council
member
friend
for
seeding.
Her
position
to
me.
I
just
wanted
to
make
clear.
As
of
this
right
now,
I
would
like
to
recuse
myself
from
the
rest
of
this
meeting,
not
because
of
a
conflict
of
interest,
but
out
of
an
abundance
of
caution
to
avoid
any
appearance
of
impropriety.
L
As
you
know,
I'm
a
state
legislature
and
you're
voting
on
the
legislative
agenda,
so
I
want
to
just
be
clear
and
also
you
know,
step
aside
just
to
ensure
that
community
members
I
don't
think
there
is
a
conflict
with
my
my
vote
tonight
so
and
I
hope
Council
will
make
the
right
decision
for
the
community.
Thank
you.
M
For
us
thanks,
Mark
and
and
thanks
Judy
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
that
I
deserved
any
credit
there,
but
thank
you
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
pitch.
Obviously
a
large
part
of
our
job
is
listening
to
our
constituents
and
our
community,
and
we
can't
always
please
everyone
like
on
on
number
22.
It's
it's
clearly
split
and
we're
gonna
make
a
decision
and
not
everyone's
going
to
be
happy,
but
on
23,
which
is
in
my
proposed
language
for
23b
I.
M
Think
zero
people
from
the
community
supported
that
like
for
different
reasons,
we
got
objections,
so
I
want
to
make
a
recommendation
that
we
dispense
with
that
and
send
it
back
to
the
subcommittee
without
that
as
an
option
and
have
them
bring
it
back
because
I
think,
if
we're
listening,
there's
there's
no
support
for
that
and
I,
don't
think
the
sub
Community.
M
The
subcommittee
will
have
considered
that
piece
without
that
suggestion
and
there's
no
there's
no
pending
legislation
coming
down
the
pike
that
we're
in
a
hurry
the
way
we
are
in
20
you
too,
so
that
maybe
you
could
straw
poll.
If
there's
any
support
for
that.
Thank
you,
mayor.
Pro
Tem.
C
One
two
three,
four
five
with
mayor,
Brockett
The,
Invisible
Man,
carries
the
day
and
we
will
do
that
now.
Other
Council
comments,
I
guess
it
should
be
related
at
this
point
to
position
22
as
23
will
be
reworked
and
thought
through
again.
B
It
it
was,
and
do
you
mind
if
I
speak
to
that
real
quick?
Yes,
you
may
so
I
mean
I
was
I
was
a
member
of
the
legislative
subcommittee
that
proposed
that
change,
but
it
was
Rachel's
wording
originally
and
so
her
withdrawing.
It
was
compelling
to
me,
as
well
as
her
case,
that,
while
people
advocated
for
other
directions
for
us
to
go
in
there,
nobody
really
stood
behind
that
particular
change.
I
thought
that
was
a
reasonable
pivot
based
on
on
The
Testament.
C
You
Nicole,
then
Matt.
O
Thanks
I
just
wanted
to
make
one
pre-comment
before
my
comment-
and
this
is
I-
have
been
sitting
in
on
our
bias.
Microaggression
training
this
week
and
next
week
and
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
something
that
I
think
we
and
the
community
members
some
community
members
sometimes
do
that
can
be
perceived
as
kind
of
hurtful
to
folks
of
color
in
our
community.
O
Just
so
that
all
of
us
can
kind
of
have
this
this
learning
moment
and
you
know,
hopefully,
move
move
forward
in
a
better
way.
Sometimes,
when
we're
talking
about
housing,
we
need
to
be
really
careful
that
we're
not
equating
skin
color
with
income.
They
are
related
intentionally
because
of
how
our
country
stole
land
and
gave
it
to
Europeans
and
because
of
how
our
country,
enslaved,
Africans
and
African
Americans
and
use
their
labor
to
enrich
European
Americans.
O
O
So
I
would
just
like
to
caution
us
and
invite
us
to
to
think
about
this
as
we're
talking
about
housing,
especially
as
it
relates
to
equity,
just
to
be
mindful
of
this
bias
that
we
have
and
the
way
that
it
can
affect
by
Pop
members
in
our
community
when
our
bias
shows
so
that
just
an
invitation
to
us
all
to
think
about
this,
as
as
we're
having
these
conversations
and
that
I
hope
folks
in
our
community
will
also
be
receptive
to
to
that
information.
O
So
having
things
set
down,
thank
you
for
giving
me
a
moment
to
do
my
pre-comment
and
calling
in
as
I've
learned
from
the
training,
so
I
I
am
in
support
of
the
changes
to
item
22.
this
afternoon.
I
had
a
chance
to
see
the
movie.
This
is
not
who
we
are.
It's
a
really
important
assessment
of
our
past
and
our
present,
and
what
got
us
here
and
I
think
that
was
my
fourth
time,
seeing
it
and
each
time
I
get
something
new
out
of
it.
O
This
afternoon,
while
I
was
watching
it,
I
was
reminded
that
when
we
know
better,
we
can-
and
we
should
do
better
and
our
housing
policies
over
the
years
have
really
made
us
an
exclusive
Community
for
mostly
wealthy
people.
This
is
even
since
we
were
established
in
1859
as
a
city
where
people
had
to
pay
a
thousand
dollars
per
lot.
I
was
curious,
so
I
looked
up.
What
that
was
in
2023.
O
3.6
million
dollars
would
be
the
2023
equivalent,
so
we're
not
quite
there
yet.
But,
as
some
of
the
speakers
mentioned,
we
are
excluding
a
lot
of
folks
and
I've
continued
to
do
so
with
Randy's
policies
over
the
last
50
or
60
years.
Workers,
families
with
school-aged
children,
retirees
those
are
the
ones
that
I'm
hearing
from
a
lot
these
days
and
whatever
Our
intention
was.
O
We
know
where
we
are
in
2023,
so
the
question
is:
where
do
we
go
from
here,
knowing
that
our
housing
policies
that
that
we
and
other
communities
have
implemented
have
created
so
much
exclusion
and
hardship
for
so
many
I
hope
that
we
now
know
better
and
I
hope
that
we
can
do
better
by
supporting
the
changes
to
item
2022
so
that
we
can
be
a
strong
advocate
for
more
housing
across
our
state
and
and
here
in
our
city.
Thank
you.
R
Thanks
Mark
and
just
I
appreciate
the
the
community
coming
out
and
providing
their
their.
T
Feedback
and
their
passion
for
the
issues,
which
is
pretty.
R
It's
something
we
treasure
in
this
community
for
good
and
for
bad,
but
we
we
do
appreciate
hearing
from
everybody.
You
know
it's
really
I
think
it's
a
critical
opportunity
for
us
to
lead
and
not
lead
with
word
lead
with
action.
We
we've
we've
stayed.
We've
stood
on
our
soapbox
here
in
Boulder,
and
hen
have
preached
these
values
of
housing,
values
of
inclusion,
values
of
wanting
to
provide
opportunities
for
future
Generations
and
we're
trying
here,
but
there's
a
futility
in
some
of
this
effort,
meaning
it
really.
R
We
got
to
seize
that
opportunity
to
sit
at
that
table
and
help
shape
that
policy
in
a
way
that
benefits
Us
and
other
communities
while
minimizing
the
damage
it
might
cause.
So
so
I
think
we
really
need
to
lean
into
that.
What
I
also
feel
is
there's
an
important
opportunity
here
to
gain
some
leverage.
We've
talked
about
wanting
to
support
rent
control,
which
would
be
giving
us
more
local
control.
R
So
these
are
holistically
all
part
of
the
same
package
of
how
do
we
provide
a
suite,
a
spectrum
and
a
greater
diversity
of
Housing
and
opportunities
for
people
now
and
into
the
future
and
I
think
this
is
a
great
chance
for
us
to
lead,
and
it's
it's
not
accurate
to
say
Denver
runs
the
show
as
as
I
complimented
BHP
earlier.
Bhp
is
not
the
only
group
in
Boulder
that
punches
above
the
weight.
R
The
city
of
Boulder
punches
above
its
weight
with
regards
to
advocacy
at
the
state
level,
and
we
need
to
leverage
that
and
continue
to
use
that
to
do
what's
best
for
our
community,
but
also
what's
best
for
things
that
are
holistically:
Front,
Range,
Regional,
State
and
National
issues,
especially
around
land
use
and
Zoning.
So
I
hope
we
can
get
support
around
that
and
Empower
Carl
Adam
and
will
take
that
to
the
state
house
and
get
this
job
done.
B
Yeah
well,
I
want
to
agree
with
the
things
that
my
colleagues,
Nicole
and
Matt
said.
I
thought
both
of
that
were
both
of
those
were
very
well
said
and
spoken.
I
agree
with
those
points
and
just
want
to
add
that
you
know
the
housing
issues
that
we
have
are
not
unique
to
Boulder,
of
course,
they're
they're,
Regional
and
in
fact,
they're
societal
right.
We're
seeing
this
all
across
the
country
and
other
states
with
some
similar
levels
of
problems
have
stepped
up
with
some
state
level.
B
You
know
rules
or
guidance
that
I
think
are
moving
the
conversation
and
forward
on
housing
in
in
those
States,
and
so
I
was
glad
to
hear
the
governor
take
this
issue
up
this
year.
I've
been
hearing
Rumblings
about
this
for
a
number
of
months
and
and
a
number
of
folks
in
our
community
have
been
engaged
with
those
efforts
already
and
many
of
them
in
the
environmental
community.
B
So,
for
example,
the
local
non-profit,
Suite,
the
Southwest
Energy
Efficiency
project
is
involved
in
these
discussions
and
negotiations
coming
from
an
environmental
perspective
and
I
want
to
assure
speakers
who
were
concerned
about
Equity.
That
I
know
that
that
is
also
part
of
the
conversation
as
well.
So
I
know
that
anti-displacement
and
anti-gentrification
efforts
are
being
considered
as
part
of
this.
B
This
gives
us
a
seat
at
the
table
where
we
can
help
guide
those
discussions
in
ways
that
are
compatible
with
Boulder's
values
right
so
that,
as
as
we
were
talking
about
earlier
Carlos,
you
spoke
that
if
we
take
an
opposed
position,
then
you
know
we're
just
fighting
and
end
of
story,
but
we
do
have
an
ability
to
have
a
prominent
seat
at
the
table
for
these
discussions
and
we
put
guard
rails
into
the
language.
B
For
example,
talking
about
any
changes
that
we
might
support
would
need
to
be
in
alignment
with
the
comprehensive
plan,
which
you
know
is
the
summation
of
the
the
city's
goals
about
development
and
housing
and
everything
else
in
our
community.
So
I
think
we
only
have
authorization
to
support
something
that
you
know.
B
Broadly
goes
along
with
the
goals
and
values
and
visions
of
the
city
of
Boulder,
and
so
by
taking
this
position,
it
can
be
a
leadership
position
and
we
can
help
steer
the
trajectory
of
this
discussion
in
ways
that
particularly
align
with
Boulder's
values,
and
if,
if
this
is
successful,
which
it
may
well
be
and
certainly
bills
are
coming
and
they
may
well
get
passed
and
if
we're
able
to
be
influential
and
and
make
sure
that
those
bills
do
sort
of
move
in
the
direction
that
that
that
is
in
accordance
with
Boulder's
values,
we
can
make
a
difference
for
our
own
Community,
but
also
for
the
entire
State
on
an
issue
that
is
fundamentally
goes
well
beyond
our
city
borders
as
a
Regional
societal
problems.
B
So
I
really
appreciate
the
work
folks
have
done
in
this
Carl
I
really
I
know
you
worked
really
hard
on
this,
in
collaboration
with
our
lobbyists
and
our
various
other
team
members,
internal
and
external
and
I
think
we
struck
a
good
balance
here
and
I
think
this
will
be
a
really
important
discussion
that
we
can
play
a
leadership
role
on.
So
thanks.
So
much
for
considering
it.
B
F
How
does
it
take
me
so
long
to
unmute
I?
Don't
it's
a
skill,
this
skill,
I,
don't
have
it's
always
good
to
hear
the
other
side.
I
think
I
was
very
torn
because
so
many
people
had
great
things
to
say
and
I
have
been
consistently
voting
for
more
housing.
It's
our
one
of
our
number
one
problems
that
I
want
to
see
some
movement
on,
but
I
I've
been
thinking
about
the
fact
that
this
is
a
city
that
does
like
local
control
I
mean
we
wanted
stronger
gun
laws
before
this
state
wanted
them.
F
So
we
finally
got
that
opportunity.
Now
it
looks
like
the
state
is
following
us,
and
we've
wanted
to
utilize
a
type
of
rent
control
to
make
some
dent
and
affordability
as
a
tool,
but
we
weren't
able
to
do
that
because
under
state
law
we
couldn't-
and
so
in
my
opinion,
why
would
we
then
want
to
give
away
local
control
when
it
comes
to
land
use
and
Zoning
I,
always
I
almost
100
always
support
Governor
polis
on
almost
every
issue
and
I'm.
F
A
big
fan
of
his
and
I
absolutely
understand
why
he
would
want
to
go
beyond
incentives
to
make
a
dent
in
the
housing.
Affordability,
crisis
and
I
have,
like
I,
said,
voted
for
as
much
housing
as
I
could
every
single
time
on
the
year
that
I've
been
here,
but
the
things
that
I'm
concerned
about
is
actually
what
Martha,
roskowski
I
believe
her
name
was
brought
up.
Her
comments
really
affected
me.
F
We
don't
know
that
building
more
and
increasing
density
is
going
to
make
a
dent
in
these
housing
prices.
We
really
just
don't
know,
I
mean
New,
York
City
has
loads
of
density
and
it
didn't
help
them
bring
down
their
cost
of
housing,
and
so
I
agree
that
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we
have
to
be
really
careful
about
gentrification
and
making
sure
we
just
don't
build
expensive
housing
on
Transit
corridors.
We
also
I'm
also
super
concerned
that
RTD
no
offense
has
not
been
the
most
stelller
of
Partners.
F
We
did
build
a
Transit,
Village
and
then
didn't
have
Transit
and
we
didn't
have
a
train
and
the
ab2
bus
was,
you
know,
I
think
they
stopped
service
on
that.
For
years
so,
but
I'm
I'm,
convinced
by
a
lot
of
my
colleagues
that
we're
going
to
be
very
careful
going
forward,
I'm
sure
that
I'm
going
to
be
in
the
minority.
So
when
the
bills
come
our
way,
I
just
ask
that
we
tread
carefully
and
let's
please
consider
long-term
unintended
consequences.
F
I
just
want
to
bring
up
the
good
old,
condo
defect,
law
which
started
out
great
but
ended
up,
poorly
and
actually
backfired,
and
so
I
think
we
need
to
think
really
think
carefully
about
proceeding
and
doing
something
that
we
can't
really
take
back
the
other
way.
We
have
Governor
polis,
I,
trust
him,
but
who
knows
who's
going
to
be
the
next
Governor?
So
once
we
open
up
this
can
of
worms,
can
we
really
go
backwards?
And
so
that's
really
all
I
have
to
say
is
to
just
move
forward
with
deep
thought.
F
N
N
What
we
do
in
terms
of
our
housing
and
zoning
rules
affects
communities
around
us,
as
do
their
rules
affect
ours.
N
I
don't
take
lightly
the
idea
of
seeding
any
of
our
home
rule
Authority,
but
in
this
case,
I
do
believe
that
this
is
a
regional
issue
and
that,
in
order
to
for
it
to
be
effectively
addressed,
I
mean,
as
Aaron
mentioned,
it's
larger
than
Regional,
but
sort
of
we
need
to
be
taking
a
bigger
bite
out
of
this,
and
so
a
regional
solution
is
appropriate
in
this
case.
Thank
you.
C
I'm
going
to
go
next
and
then
Rachel
I
have
a
lot
of
problems.
Carl.
Can
you
tell
me
when
this
was
first
made
available
to
the
public.
C
I
I
am
extremely
troubled
that
we
we
think
that
we
have
fulfilled
Our
obligation
for
the
community
to
weigh
in
on
this
with
a
four
day
turnaround
time
to
me
that
that's
just
absurd
okay,
the
community
may
like
it,
they
may
not
like
it,
but
they
haven't
had
any
kind
of
real
opportunity
to
weigh
in
and
and
that
it's
troubling
to
me
and
I
would
hope
it
would
be
troubling
to
you.
C
The
the
effect
of
this
language
is
saying
to
Governor
polis,
we're
with
you
now
tell
us
what
we're
with
and
we
don't
have
any
bills
that
are
specific,
that
we
are
agreeing
to
it's
simply
a
concept,
and
you
know
I
find
it
a
little
bit
problematic
that
we
we
stump
for
a
local
control
of
rent
control,
local
control
of
pesticides,
and
now
we'd
like
to
give
some
local
control
away.
I,
I
I,
don't
know
why
that's
not
anomalous
and
expressing
General
support
for
for
what's
coming
down.
C
The
road
I
think
is
fine,
but
committing
to
giving
away
local
control
in
advance
to
me
is
is
not
fine.
I
I
believe
that
some
version
of
section
22
will
and
should
pass,
but
I
will
tell
you
and
and
Carl
I
love
you
so
do
not
take
offense.
C
The
vision
is
as
badly
drafted
and
unclear
as
anything
I've
looked
at
in
a
long
time,
there's
got
to
be
a
way
of
of
being
a
little
clearer
in
our
Concepts
and
in
our
articulation
than
this
document
it
just
it
it's.
On
the
one
hand,
on
the
other
hand,
it's
you
know
we
we
cherish
our
local
control,
but
you
know
we
can
we
can
get
behind
this
or
that,
as
I
said,
I
think
something
along
these
lines
is
doable
and
should
be
done.
C
But
for
this
to
represent
our
policy
of
support
to
me
is:
is
it's
relatively
incoherent?
The
community
has
had
no
time
to
look
at
it,
and-
and
this
is
to
me
ready
fire
aim
governance.
It
is
not
the
way
governance
is
supposed
to
occur
and
we're
doing
it
the
service
to
the
community
by
saying
hey,
you
had
three
days
to
look
at
it.
C
What's
your
problem,
so
I
would
want
to
see
this
not
killed
but
redone
in
a
way
that
that
provides
Clarity
and
deals
with
the
issues
that
we're
dealing
with
here
in
a
much
more
coherent
way.
This
is,
let's
just
get
it
out
there
and-
and
you
know,
jump
you
know,
jump
into
the
into
the
process.
C
I
think
there
are
plenty
ways
of
getting
into
the
process
and
expressing
our
general
support
for
what's
coming
down
the
road
without
doing
it
in
this
fashion,
and
let
me
make
one
comment:
keyed
off
of
of
Sarah's
comment:
there
is
no
city
in
America
that
has
built
its
way
through
affordability,
it's
not
been
in
Boston,
it's
not
been
in
San
Francisco.
C
It's
not
happened
in
Los
Angeles,
it's
not,
and
nowhere
so
don't
assume
that,
because
we
we
build
400
units
in
East,
Boulder
that
they're
going
to
suddenly
be
affordable,
and
if
anybody
actually
believes
in
the
concept
of
trickle-down
Economics
with
respect
to
housing,
I'd
love
to
have
a
conversation
with
you,
because
that
that's
not
happened
anywhere
either.
All
of
the
units
that
we
build
here
are
going
to
be
expensive
units
because
the
land
is
expensive
and
that's
what
developers
like
to
do
they
like
to
make
more
money
rather
than
less
money.
C
C
It
doesn't
mean
we're
going
to
oppose
the
the
legislations
because
yeah
I'd
like
to
see
other
other
communities,
get
put
some
skin
in
the
game
with
respect
to
affordability.
But
if
we
think
in
Boulder
that
that
suddenly
we're
going
to
end
up
with
middle-income
townhouses,
I
I
think
we're
going
to
be
sadly
disappointed.
C
That's
not
the
way
the
market
Works
and
with
that
again
I
would
just
reiterate
my
suggestion
that
we
spend
a
little
more
time
drafting
this
to
get
it
done
better,
not
that
it's
not
going
to
be
done,
but
to
get
it
done
better.
M
Thank
you,
mayor,
Pro,
tem,
Wallach
and
agree
to
disagree
in
general
with
your
comments
there
so
I'm
a
huge
fan
of
of
getting
after
missing
middle
housing
and
that's
a
lot
of
what
I
think
we're
going
to
be
getting
after
here.
So
it's
not
just
affordable
housing.
It's
also
types
of
housing
that
are
going
to
be
available
to
my
parents
and
my
kids
and
you
know
a
lot
of
people
like
them
all
over
the
state.
M
So
I
I
was
Blown
Away
by
Governor
polis's
State
of
the
State
address
and
very
excited
about
it,
and
I
just
wanted
to
thank
Carl
for
convening
our
subcommittee
so
quickly
and
putting
together
what
I
thought
again
agree
to
disagree
here.
Council,
member
mayor,
Tim,
Wallach,
but
I
thought
was
fantastic
language
for
us
to
to
use
and
consider,
and
so
thank
you
for
bringing
that
forward.
I'm
excited
to
support,
22.
M
and,
and
just
also
want
to
ask
that
when
we,
you
know
to
to
address
Tara
and
and
some
other
concerns
when
we
do
get
whatever
is
going
to
be
proposed
back,
let's
try
and
get
it
in
front
of
everybody
as
quick
as
we
can,
and
and
figure
out
ways
for
for
more
people
to
feel
that
their
voices
are
being
heard.
It
is
unfortunate
the
way
that
the
State
Legislature
just
moves
it
at
sort
of
Breakneck
speeds.
M
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
turnaround
time
by
the
time
we
get
a
subcommittee
together
and
then
get
it
on
Council
agenda
and
and
get
it
up
for
hearing,
but
there
will
be
more
opportunities.
This
is
not
set
in
stone.
This
is
something
we
can
amend
after
we
see
what
it
is.
We
can
also
keep
talking
about
it.
This
is
basically
just
us
being
able
to
say
to
our
lobbyists,
hey,
let's
get
involved
and
and
getting
us
a
seat
at
the
table.
So
again,
this
is
not
the
the
US
Constitution.
M
This
really
is
a
breathing
document
that
we
amend
all
the
time
so
to
community
members
who
are
worried
about
that.
This
is
just
a
like:
a
launch
pad
for
us
and
and
there's
also,
you
know
the
the
place
to
weigh
in
it's
going
to
be
at
the
state
legislature.
This
is
not
a
law
that
we're
passing.
This
is
going
to
be
a
state
law
so
for
for
people
who
want
to
continue
raising
their
voices.
I
would
just
recommend
to
also
participate
at
State
hearings.
C
Okay,
Matt,
you
have
some
comments.
R
I
just
wanted
to
just
add,
as
sort
of
listen
to
some
of
my
colleagues
here
and
thank
you
Rachel
for
what
you
said
about
missing
middle
I,
agree
completely,
that
the
pipe
dream
is
is
I,
think
pure
affordability,
but
for
for
us
it's
building
the
the
scaffolding
for
the
socioeconomic
ladder
to
move
up
I
mean
right
now.
People
are
having
to
shoot
too
big
of
a
gap,
in
which
case
we're
pricing,
people
out
and
people
can't
move
up
the
economic
ladder
in
our
community.
So
so
thank
you
for
bringing
that
up.
Rachel.
R
R
That's
not
a
serious
position
like
that's,
just
not
serious
in
terms
of
being
able
to
tackle
the
challenges
that
are
in
front
of
us.
So
so
we
have
to
be
clear
that
we
can't
just
always
be
in
a
receive
receive
receive
mode.
We
have
to
find
a
way
to
be
a
two-way
street
with
regards
to
working
with
our
state
legislature
on
these
things
so
I
we
we
gotta,
we
got
a
slow
roll,
a
little
bit
on
on
getting
too
worried
about
something
that
hasn't
been
fully
defined.
R
This
gives
Carl
the
tools
so
that,
as
it
rolls
out,
they
have
just
enough
what
they
need
to
help
shape
it
and,
as
we
get
some
more
detail,
we
roll
it
out
and
we
get
a
lot
of
that
input,
but
but
word
smithing
and
shaping
a
policy
statement
on
something
that
hasn't
been
written
yet
is
just
CR
is
just
tossing
a
word:
salad,
we're
not
going
to
get
to
substance
until
there's
some
substance
to
evaluate
so
Carl.
Thank
you
for
putting
this
that
policy
statement
together.
R
I
think
you
guys
have
done
a
great
job
and
and
I
think
you'll
continue
to
do
a
great
job
representing
us.
So
thank
you
for
that.
But
I
just
want
to
caution
on
the
local
control.
We
we
go
too
far
down
this
path.
We
will
not
be
taken
seriously
and
we
will
lose
political
leverage.
We
need
to
be
playing
serious
ball
here
and
there's
the
right
way
to
do
that.
Matt.
K
K
However,
there
is
no
housing
bill
paying
before
the
Colorado
legislature
right
now
and
I
understand
that
one
is
being
worked
on
and
Boulder
would
like
to
have
hand
in
drafting
that.
But
while
Boulder
is
one
of
the
most
expensive
places
to
live
in
the
state,
we
also
have
some
of
the
most
Progressive
housing
policies
in
in
Colorado,
allowing
adus
co-ops,
duplexes
commercial
linkage
fees
and
a
long-standing
inclusion,
inclusionary
housing
program,
which
we
heard
about
earlier
this
evening.
K
One
could
argue
that
Boulder
does
more
to
provide
housing
for
low-income
and
moderate
income
families
than
nearly
every
other
city
in
the
state.
But
beyond
that
point,
I
differ
from
my
colleagues
who
serve
on
the
intergovernmental
Affairs
committee.
They
have
proposed
that
Boulder
not
only
lead
the
way
in
affordable
housing,
but
that
will
give
up
its
rights
to
local
control
land
as
a
symbolic
gesture,
to
prove
that
we're
really
really
serious
about
this
I
think
that's
a
bad
idea.
K
We
heard
some
really
good
suggestions
this
evening
from
some
of
our
speakers.
They
had
ideas
about
how
Boulder
can
make
improvements
in
our
housing,
affordability,
efforts-
and
these
are
some
of
the
things
that
we
should
be
doing.
But
of
course,
Boulder
does
not
need
to
give
up.
Is
local
authority
to
the
state
in
order
for
Boulder
to
make
the
changes
that
we
heard
about
tonight
like
every
home
rule
City
in
the
state,
Boulder
has
its
own
land
use
laws
that
reflect
Our,
Community
Values.
K
We
have
zoning
that
lets.
People
know
what
kind
of
structures
can
go
where
we
have
floor
area
ratio
set
back
and
shade
rules
that
ensure
that
appropriately
sized
structures
are
placed
on
Lots.
We
allow
edus
and
co-ops,
but
in
places
with
limitations
that
reflect
our
community.
What
our
community
thinks
about
is
appropriate.
K
K
K
Local
land
use
is
the
most
precious
right
that
a
city
can
exercise
independently.
If
we
yield
that
to
the
state,
we
will
give
up
everything
who
will
no
longer
be
at
home.
Rule
City,
we
will
be
a
state,
ruled
City
I
urge
my
Council
colleagues
to
take
a
deep
breath
and
pause
before
taking
a
plunge
into
the
abyss.
K
C
O
I
just
had
to
make
a
correction,
a
Community
member.
Thank
you,
Evan
ravitz
corrected
me.
I
had
my
decimals
wrong
in
the
what
a
thousand
dollars
is
worth
today
and
just
wanted
to
make
sure
to
correct
that
it's
actually
around
thirty
six
thousand
dollars,
not
3.6
million,
was
going
a
little
too
fast
there,
but
I
think
that
actually
makes
it
worse,
not
better
so
anyway,
but
I
did
I
did
just
want
to
correct
that
I
know
Evan,
as
I
saw.
O
The
movie
today
was
one
of
the
folks
who
initially
told
us
about
that
thousand
dollar
per
acre
rule.
So
anyway,
thank
you
for
that
correction
wanted
to
make
sure
to
get
that
in.
Thank.
T
M
I
do
want
I
will
I'm
happy
to
make
the
motion,
but
it
just
reminded
me
when
you
said
that
that
I
I
don't
want
to
look
past
Carl's
suggestion
for
the
just
the
cleaning
up
of
23
like
getting
rid
of
the
triple
negative.
So
maybe
we
do
want
to
do
that
part
tonight,
because
that's
not
changing
anything
substantive,
because
I
said:
let's
just
have
23
go
back.
So
if
we
could
do
a
quick,
maybe
straw
poll
on
whether
that
part's
okay,
then
we
have
it,
you
know
just
a
cleaned
up
starting
point.
M
Y
M
C
That
back,
let's
take
a
straw
poll
on
allowing
Carl
to
clean
up
23.,
all
in
favor
the
eyes.
Have
it
okay
right!
So
do
you
want
to
make
a
motion
Rachel
sure.
M
I,
don't
have
any
language
in
front
of
me,
but
I
would
make
a
motion
that
we
adopt.
The
intergovernmental
Affairs
suggested
amendments
to
our
our
plan,
our
agenda
and
in
including
the
language
as
Carl
as
a
set
forth
for
number
22,
and
the
changes
that
that
Carl
Castillo
suggested
during
the
council
meeting
today
for
23
and
I'm.
Sorry
I
don't
have
the
language
up.
B
Know
parents
I
well
I
will
go
ahead
in
a
second,
but
then
I
would
request
that
we
get
the
precise
language
for
23
that
Carl's
proposed
cleanup
language
so
that
we're
clear
about
what
that
is.
When
we're
kept.
The
motion
done
I'll.
Y
Pop
it
up
just
give
me
a
few
seconds
here:
can.
O
I
just
make
a
point
on
that
one,
while
we're
kind
of
talking
about
it
so
Carl
you
had
suggested
we
vote
on
each
one
independently.
Even
with
this
just
clean
up
language
change.
O
I
would
really
appreciate
that
opportunity,
because
I
I
have
different
feelings
about
23,
so
if
that
would
be
all
right
with
folks,
I
would
like
to
I
wonder
if
we
could
and
I
don't
remember
the
process
for
undoing
that
motion,
but
it
would
be
really
nice
I
think
if
we
could
follow
Carl's
suggestion
and
vote
on
them
independently.
R
C
22.,
raise
your
hand
is
up
and
then
mayor.
M
I
think
that
was
an
old
hand,
but
I
guess
that
would
just
revise
my
motion
to.
Although
I
don't
know,
we
have
that
language
right
now,
so
I,
don't
know
why
we're
sending
it
back
when
we
already
voted
to
act
on
that
tonight,
so
that
I
think
somebody
needs
to
make
an
alternative
motion.
If
we
don't
want
to
do
that
now
and
I
turned
to
Sandra
for
guidance,
I
guess:
okay,.
M
B
That's
that's
a
reasonable
thing
to
do
tonight.
It's
not
unreasonable,
but
since
we
are
referring
it
back
to
the
subcommittee
anyway
and
we
seem
to
be
getting
tangled
up
a
little
bit
if
we're
gonna,
if
we
make
any
changes
to
23,
perhaps
we
let
it
stand
as
it
is
and
consider
the
the
cleanup
language
as
part
of
sending
it
back
to
the
subcommittee.
M
Okay,
I
will
then
revise
my
I
think
I
can
get
a
standard
correctly
if
I'm
wrong.
Please
I
will
revise
my
motion
to
just
move
forward
with
the
subcommittee's
recommendation
as
to
number
22
for
the
inter-governmental
affairs
policy.
We.
R
C
B
B
You
all
don't
mind
I,
believe
the
protocol
would
be
to
ask
the
secondary
if
I
were
also
okay,
with
the
change
proposed
by
Rachel,
which
I
am
so
so
I
think
we
have
the
revised
motion
on
the
table
with
a
promotion
by
friend
in
a
second
about
rocket.
M
Y
Z
C
Clerk
is
that
motion
just
for
position:
23
a
22
rather.
M
D
I,
don't
think
so,
because
I
think
I
was
a
little
clearer.
I
was
a
little
confused,
so
we're
voting
on
to
proceed
with
23,
22
or
20,
or
two
defer
22
back
to
the
subcommittee.
C
Okay,
let
us
proceed.
D
J
N
D
D
Alrighty
the
motion
to
move
forward
with
the
amendment
I
mean
with
the
measure,
is
hereby
approved
with
a
vote
one
two,
three,
four,
five,
two
three.
C
All
right
moving
along
our
next
matter
from
Matt,
is
from
the
mayor
and
members
of
council
is
an
appointment
update
on
the
library
district
trustee
mayor.
G
Is
a
quick
question?
We
should
probably
ask
council
member
Joseph
to
come
back
to
the
meeting.
C
Well,
it's
now
9
39
shall
we
proceed
for
another
five
minutes
according
to
the
estimated
time,
but
all
right
mayor
is
this:
your
is
this
something
you're
going
to
be
giving
us.
O
Yeah
happy
to
so
the
mayor
and
I
met
with
two
of
the
county,
County
and
young,
to
start
talking
through
the
process
for
appointing
Library,
District
trustees,
and
what
we
emerged
with
was
one
consensus
decision,
which
is
that
we
would
like
to
put
seven
people
on
this
initial
Board
of
of
Trustees
for
the
library
district,
and
then
we
are
going
to
be
having
an
application
process
that
we
are
hoping
to
have
a
draft
of
the
application.
Within
about
two
weeks
for
the
four
of
us
elected
officials
to
look
at.
O
We
will
make
suggestions
on
that.
Hopefully,
within
about
a
week
at
which
point
County
and
City
staff
will
be
Distributing
the
application.
We
are
hoping
to
make
sure
that
it
kind
of
gets
out
in
the
the
typical
ways
that
both
the
city
and
county
do
board
and
commission
applications
as
well
as
send
it
to
folks
who
are
currently
on
our
library.
Commission
have
served
recently
folks
who
are
on
the
ldac
just
basically
the
people
who've
already
been
involved
in
this
process.
O
We
are
expecting
to
have
it
open
for
about
three
weeks,
at
which
point
we
will
review
the
applications.
Staff
will
kind
of
do
a
quick
check,
as
we
do
just
to
make
sure
that
folks
are
actually
living
within
the
district
and
meeting
some
of
the
basic
requirements.
And
then
we
will
be
discussing
those
applicants
and
we
are
aiming.
We
hope
to
have
some
folks
appointed
selected
and
appointed,
hopefully
by
mid
to
late
April.
C
B
O
B
Okay,
good
and
I'll
just
just
say
that
I
really
appreciate
the
collaboration
with
the
County
Commissioners.
We
had
a
good
discussion.
You
know
and
work
together
to
find
a
positive
path
forward,
so
I
think
we're
we're
on
the
right
track
with
our
partners
and
to
move
forward
kind
of
with
the
right
mix
of
expositiousness
to
to
keep
the
library
district
on
track,
but
also
taking
the
time
we
need
to
evaluate
the
best
candidates.
K
Nicole
and
Aaron,
thanks
for
for
all
the
hard
work
on
this
I,
just
wanted
to
kind
of
make
sure
I
understood
the
kind
of
the
process
on
this.
So
you're
going
to
open
up
applications,
that's
great
and
then
you'll
keep
it
open
for
a
while
and
receive
applications,
and
then
I
just
want
to
understand
that
the
next
few
steps
will
there
be
some
sort
of.
Let's
say
you
get
50
applications
that
are
a
lot
more
than
seven.
K
Are
you
guys
going
to
be
doing
some
sort
of
like
filtering
or
interviewing
or
or
is
your
committee,
including
I,
think
there's
a
kind
of
commissioner
with
you
gonna
make
a
a
set
of
recommendations
of
seven
based
upon
whatever
filtering
or
application
review
or
interviewing
process
you're
going
to
go
through.
B
Oh
I
guess
I
can
take
that
yeah,
that's
correct
and
by
the
way
it's
it's
clearly
being
Martin
Luther
mean
there's
four.
K
Of
you,
okay
yeah,
so
the
four
of
you
after
the
application
window
closes
the
four
of
you
will
sit
down
and
through
whatever
process.
Maybe
it's
applications.
Maybe
it's
interview.
Some
sort
of
combination
of
that
you'll
come
up
with
a
list
of
maybe
seven
and
then
you'll
bring
that
to
the
Commissioners
and
to
council.
Is
that
right?
K
That's
correct,
great
and
I
guess:
I
guess
it
just
depends
on
calendars
where
it
goes
to
first
right
or
you
can
do
alternates
too,
like
we
did
on
the
police
oversight
panel,
or
is
that
you're
going
to
kind
of
stick
with
seven
and
and
and
and
and
then
take
take
resignations
up
as
they
come.
K
I,
wonder
if
you
guys,
if
you
have
like
an
eighth
or
Ninth
Place
person
that
you're
pretty
happy
with
I,
wonder
if
you
want
to
kind
of
designate
them
as
alternates
that
way,
if
we
lose
one
of
the
seven
somewhere
along
the
lines,
you'll
have
somebody
to
kind
of
slip
right
in
as
opposed
to
starting
the
process
a
little
weekend.
I,
don't
know
if
that
matters,
but
it's
Justified.
O
Can
I
colloquy
on
that
I
I
think
Bob
that
once
once
the
seven
are
seated
they
they
would
probably
be
the
ones
to
lead
the
next
application
process.
So
I
don't
know
if
we've
got
one
of
the
lawyers
could
advise
on
this
or,
if
that's
something,
I
think
we
can
certainly
check
on
on
what
that
process
would
be.
But
my
sense
would
be
that,
because
we'll
have
the
folks
appointed,
they
would
kind
of
be
the
ones
who
would
lead
any
search
for
a
replacement
again.
The
intergovernmental
agreement.
O
Will
you
know,
let
us
know
that.
Yes,
we
still
have
the
the
approval
appointing
power,
but
I
think
we
can
certainly
bring
that
up.
I
just
just
wanted
to
be
clear
that
I
I
believe
once
there
appointed,
then
they
would
have
the
the
ability
to
replace
folks
or
at
least
recommend
through
the
application
process.
R
Mark
so
Nicole
my
apologies,
my
wife
I
went
a
little
zonkey
in
the
middle
of
your
explaining
the,
where
you're
at
so
I
heard
some
of
it,
but
I
may
have
missed
something.
So
if
this
question,
if
my
question
was
answered
in
your
place
in
what
you
had
already
said,
my
apologies
was:
was
there
any
discussion
about
proportionality
with
regards
to
where
people
on
the
trustees
would
come
from
in
terms
of
how
many
are
from
the
city
or
you
know,
or
versus
unincorporated
or
other
parts?
Is
there
any
discussion
about
about
that.
O
No
not
not
at
this
meeting
I
expected
that's
going
to
come
up,
it'll,
be
when
we've
got
some
of
the
applicants
in
place,
but
we
were
quite
efficient
and
got
done
and
just
about
an
hour
so
nice.
C
B
Not
well,
you
know,
yes,
they
do
Mark
I'm,
just
so
extremely
grateful
for
you
taking
over
tonight
with,
and
my
internet
was
very
spotty
like,
so
it
was
definitely
the
right
call.
So
very
very
appreciative
of
you
step
now
are.
