Welcome

november,
9th
special

We

we
have.

Will
add
item
1a,
which
is
a
declaration
in
honor
of
high

and
then
we
will
change
the
order
of
the

for
outgoing

We
will
add,

emails.
So
could
I
please
have
a
motion
to
amend
the
agenda?
B
Second
awesome:
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
and
we'll
do
something
new.
All
in
favor
raise
your
hand.
B
All
right
and
I
see
all
hands,
so
we
have
amended
the
agenda
nine
to
zero
and
then
the
next
item
is
we
need
to
go
to
ryan.
I
believe
to
speak
to
us
about
translation
services
tonight.
I
A
I
B
This
meeting
is
being
held
in
council
chambers
for
the
first
time
in
a
very
long
time,
and
it
is
a
vaccine-verified
event,
which
is
why
we're
allowed
to
sit
closer
than
six
feet
apart
from
each
other,
and
we
are
allowed
to
take
our
masks
off.
Should
we
choose
to
do
so.
I
will
probably
leave
my
mask
off
for
the
whole
meeting
so
that
I
can
direct
it.
But
council
members,
it's
your
choice,
staff!
It's
your
choice,
whether
you
want
to
leave
your
mask
on
or
take
it
off
as
you
speak,
and
with
that.
B
Very
good,
and
with
that
we
have
a
declaration
in
honor
of
diana
pinto,
avena
and
gia
salazar,
and
that
declaration
will
be
read
tonight
by
mayor
pro
tem
junior
joseph
jenny.
J
J
J
In
her
final
minutes,
the
gas
grove
neighbor
neighborhood
association
has
formally
recognized
diana
in
gia
by
honoring
them
as
individuals
exemplifying
the
best
of
our
community.
When
faced
with
an
extremely
difficult
situation,
they
took
it
upon
themselves
to
act
and
they
did
so
with
maturity
and
compassion.
Well,
beyond
their
years,
we,
the
members
of
the
boulder
city
council,
recognize
and
appreciate
the
significant
contribution
made
by
diana
pinto,
avina
and
gia
salazar.
B
Thank
you,
juni,
and
with
that
I
believe
that
we
have
some
guests
here
tonight
to
accept
the
declaration
and
to
speak
to
us.
The
first
one
I
have
on
my
list
is
diana
pinto,
avena
and
diana's
father,
so
diana
if
you
are
here,
if
you
can
unmute
and
turn
your
camera
on,
that
would
be
great.

A
N
Hi,
I'm
mary
butler.
I
am
representing
the
gos
grove,
neighborhood
association,
and
I
also
happen
to
be
a
teacher
at
boulder
high,
where
diana
and
gia
are
students.
I
didn't
know
them
before
this
happened,
but
once
the
neighborhood
association
found
out,
we
definitely
were
just.
We
wanted
to
recognize
them
and
then,
of
course,
I
couldn't
help
but
be
a
proud
panther
boulder
high.
N
We
had
a
short
ceremony
for
them
yesterday
at
boulder,
high
school
and
the
school
district
is
going
to
recognize
diana
and
gia
in
january
as
part
of
the
superintendent's
circle,
and
we,
as
the
neighborhood
association,
believe
that
they
are
just
outstanding
examples
of
good
neighbors,
good
citizens.
N
When
you
know
they
park
you
on
the
street
and
are
kind
of
in
our
neighborhood
and
people
really
respected
deb
and
the
fact
that
these
young
women
were
there
for
her
in
this
time
of
need,
it's
just
really
appropriate
and
and
wonderful.
So
we
obviously
thank
and
honor
these
two
young
women
and
just
we're
so
happy
that
the
city
of
boulder
has
joined
us
in
doing
this.
So
so
thank
you.
B
L
B
So
do
you
have
anything
that
you'd
like
to
say?
We
are
certainly
happy.
A
B
Work
that
you
did
when
you
helped
the
person
who
had
fallen.
Do
you
want
to
tell
us
something
about
it.
L
Yeah
so
when
I
first
started
walking,
I
was
walking
on
my
way
back
to
school
because
we
have
lunch
and
lunch
ended.
So
I
was
walking
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
I
just
I
saw
some
feet
and
I
thought
someone
fell
so
as
we
got
closer,
I
was
sure
that
it
worked
that
it
was
feet.
So
then
I
told
my
friend
diana
to
call
the
police
and
at
first
I
wasn't
sure
what
to
do.
I
really
didn't
know
what
to
do.
L
Nothing
came
to
mind
except
for
call
for
help.
So
then
that's
what
we
did
and
I
don't
know
I
just
at
that
moment.
I
was
a
little
scared
because
I
didn't
know
she
was
gonna,
be
okay
or
not.
L
So
so
and
then
other
people
came
by
and
they
also
helped
us
and
and
then
that's
when
the
ambulance
came
for
her.
B
H
B
C
P
Thank
you.
I
know
that
we
have
almost
now
oh
there's,
camille
and
lexi.
We
have
our
boulder
county
public
health
partners
who
have
helped
us
make
this
a
vaccine
facility,
and
so
we're
able
to
be
here
with
our
mask
off
when
we're
speaking
and
encouraging
folks
to
keep
their
mask
on
when
we
are
not,
and
so
I'll
turn
it
over
to
camille.
Actually
camille
lexi
in
the
whole
gang.
Q
Thank
you
so
much
good
evening,
mayor
city
manager,
rivera
madrid
and
all
of
the
council,
we're
always
honored
to
join
you
and
to
share
the
the
data
that
we
have
relative
to
this
pandemic
with
you
and
to
answer
questions
as
they
come
up.
I
I
have
assembled
an
expert
team
tonight
with
me.
Is
our
our
new
chief
medical
officer,
dr
michelle
haas?
I
didn't
know.
I
mean
the
last
time
that
we
met.
Q
I
I
think
I
recall
that
dr
chris
urbina
was
was
on
the
screen
and
and
he
has
retired,
but
we
are
very
lucky
to
have
dr
michelle
haas
with
us.
I
also
have
one
of
our
attorneys
kate,
haywood
here
and
then
our
deputy
director,
dr
lexi
nolan.
You
know
we're
coming
right
off
of
a
board
of
health
meeting
last
night.
Q
They
received
this
update
and
so
will
you
and
what
we
are
going
to
focus
on
city
manager,
mayor
and
council.
Members
is
really
a
situational
awareness
and
trends
so
that
you
can
be
abreast
of
what's
occurring
in
our
county
and
in
your
community.
We're
going
to
give
you
some
policy
developments
that
have
occurred
since
the
last
time
that
we
met
and
and
really
our
boulder
county
public
health
response
from
the
epidemiology
perspective
from
vaccinations
and
vaccine
equity.
Q
I
really
didn't
introduce
myself
either,
although
you
did
city
manager,
I'm
camille
rodriguez,
for
the
public.
I
am
the
executive
director
of
boulder
county
public
health
with
that
said,
one
last
thing:
I
want
the
boulder
city
council
to
know
how
much
we
appreciate
your
city,
manager's
collaboration
with
us
and
all
of
her
staff's
collaboration
with
my
staff.
I
think
it's
fantastic
partnership
and
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
that.
So
with
that
said,
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
dr
lexi
nolan
and
she
will
begin
the
situational
awareness
update
on
cobit
19.
R
Good
evening,
mayor
weaver,
boulder
city,
council,
members
and
city
staff,
thanks
for
having
us
this
evening,
we
do
have
some
important
upstate
updates
to
share
with
you.
Unfortunately,
most
of
it
is
not
going
in
the
right
direction,
the
direction
that
we
would
hope
just
to
remind
us
all
of
our
three
goals
to
prevent
severe
illness
and
death.
R
We
are
seeing
an
unusual
number
of
deaths
over
the
past
six
weeks
in
boulder
county,
but
our
best
death
rate
is
still
significantly
lower
than
colorado
in
the
u.s
in
relation
to
really
trying
to
pay
attention
to
not
overwhelm
the
health
system
as
a
whole.
In
colorado,
we
are
not
doing
a
great
job,
but
boulder
county
is
among
the
counties,
contributing
the
fewest
patients
to
hospitals
and
our
vaccination
rate
amongst
those
75
and
older
is
over
99
percent,
which
is
a
very
strong
protective
factor
for
hospitalizations.
R
R
Hospitals
and
other
providers
are
under
significant
strain
due
to
the
combination
of
covid
and
non-covid
cases,
including
increased
trauma
and
delayed
urgent
care
from
last
year,
which
are
now
which
is
now
often
needing
to
has
to
be
taken
care
of,
and
we
are
also
seeing
some
significant
staffing
shortages
and
these
ripple
effects
of
our
health
care
providers
also
affect
our
ability
to
roll
out
vaccine
and
flu
clinics
and
other
things
like
that,
because
the
staff
are
overwhelmed
and
exhausted
and
taxed
so
just
to
recognize
that
you
know,
as
we've
said
before,
our
our
health
system
is
a
system
and
when
one
part
of
it's
affected,
it
does
tend
to
affect
lots
of
other
parts.
R
So
I
will
show
you
some
generally
familiar
kinds
of
data
and
show
you
where
we
are
in
relation
to
epidemiological
surveillance.
This
slide
shows
where
color
colorado
is
in
relation
to
other
states
in
the
united
states.
You'll
see
that
we
are
up
here
among
some
of
the
highest
case
rates
in
the
country
right
now.
R
So
our
our
decline
in
the
rankings
well
looks
like
an
increase
in
the
rankings,
but
in
a
bad
way
is
due
both
to
the
surge
that
we're
experiencing,
but
also
due
to
a
lot
of
other
states.
Particularly
southern
states
are
seeing
significant
decreases
in
cases
right
now,
so
we've
gotten
a
lot
of
questions
about.
Why
are
we
having
this
surge
right
now?
R
There
is
a
sense
that
it's
probably
due
to
a
combination
of
factors,
some
of
which
are
listed
here.
What's
not
satisfying
in
that
answer.
Is
that
a
lot
of
these
factors
don't
necessarily
set
us
apart
from
the
states
where
we're
seeing
lower
case
rates
so
there's
also
it's
you
know,
part
of
it
could
be
there's
potentially
less
testing
going
on
in
other
states.
R
R
R
This
is
a
breakout
by
age
rates.
We
are
particularly
concerned
obviously
about
this
0
to
11
group,
which
is
seeing
a
very
significant
spike
over
the
last
few
weeks.
The
good
news
is
that
half
of
those
kids
are
now
vaccine
eligible
and
we
hope
that
they
will
be
moving
towards
a
vaccination
as
quickly
as
possible.
R
Geographically,
we
are
seeing
that
boulder
county
has
some
differences.
Some
disproportionate
distributions,
the
city
of
boulder,
which
represents
about
32
percent
of
the
population,
only
has
about
24
percent
of
the
cases,
whereas
longmont,
which
is
about
30
percent
of
the
county
population,
has
about
40
percent
of
the
cases,
and
we
think
that
this
is
likely
due
to
a
lot
of
permeability
of
the
county
border
in
the
proximity
to
weld
county,
which
has
significantly
higher
rates
and
no
mass
mandate.
R
In
terms
of
vaccine,
I
mean
excuse
me
case
equity.
We
are
seeing
a
fairly
proportional
distribution.
Whites
who
make
up
77
of
the
population
have
about
76
of
the
cases
a
little
bit
of
elevation
in
the
latinx
population,
which
is
14
of
the
population,
but
about
19
of
the
cases.
R
And
our
seven-day
positivity
has
increased
markedly
over
the
last
couple
of
weeks,
particularly
lately
we
are
seeing
more
people
getting
tested,
which
is
good
news.
We
want
to
see
that
right
now
and
we're
seeing
about
2500
tests
a
day
compared
to
2
000
tests
a
day
last
week.
R
Unfortunately,
we
are
seeing
some
additional
deaths
lately
we
have
had
36
deaths
since
may
of
2021,
but
we
are
still
seeing
significantly
lower
deaths,
death
rates
compared
to
colorado
as
a
whole
or
to
the
u.s
as
a
whole.
R
So,
let's
take
a
quick
look
at
our
health
system,
because
this
is
a
critical
pain
point
right
now
for
us
you'll.
Remember
that
our
epidemiological
team
moves
into
surge
response
when
we
exceed
about
50
cases
a
day
we're
now
at
about
126
cases
a
day.
What
that
means
is
that
we
prioritize,
who
we
spend
the
most
time
with
and
who
we
make
personal
outreach
to,
based
on
vulnerability
and
potential
for
spread
in
the
community.
R
In
terms
of
hospitalizations,
we
are
seeing
less
than
at
the
state
level
we're
seeing.
There
are
less
than
a
thousand
beds
open
across
the
state
and
less
than
80
icu
beds.
As
of
today,
we
are
expecting
to
see
about
15
000,
more
coveted
hospitalizations
and
about
2
000,
more
deaths
in
colorado
by
the
end
of
february,
and
in
that
north
central
region,
which
includes
adams,
arapaho,
boulder
broomfield,
clear,
creek,
denver,
douglas
alert,
gilpin
and
jefferson
counties.
R
Our
icu
bed
availability
is
at
seven
percent.
Our
med
surg
bed
availability
is
at
seven
percent
and
we
have
about
thirty
seven
percent
of
our
hospitals
reporting
significant
staffing
shortages.
The
state
has
now
moved.
The
north
central
earth
has
moved
to
a
combined
hospital
transfer
center
plan
activated
at
level
three,
which
means
that
hospitals
are
proactively
sharing
patients
to
deliver
the
resources
where
to
deliver
to
ensure
that
patients
are
situated
where
they
can
receive
the
care
that
they
need
and
best
spread
in
rational
resources
across
the
state.
R
Most
of
those
are
not
from
boulder
county,
and
this
is
just
another
graphic
showing
some
of
the
resource
declines.
The
purple
graph
is
medical
and
surgical
beds,
and
the
blue
graph
is
icu
beds
and
you
can
see
how
critically
close
to
the
bottom.
We
are
getting
there
in
boulder
county.
We
only
have
six
icu
beds
available
as
of
yesterday.
R
R
So
this
is
creating
a
an
appropriate
response
from
the
state
and
there
have
been
a
number
of
recent
actions.
The
hospi,
the
colorado
hospital
association
has
become
much
more
proactive
about
asking
the
public
to
please
be
careful
and
take
precautions
and
use
layered
mitigation
strategies.
They
are
using
social
media,
radio
and
television
ads
to
really
reach
out
to
the
public
and
ask
everyone
to
do
their
part
to
help
keep
health
workers
intact.
R
We
are
also
seeing
state
policy
and
executive
order
changes
that
kate
will
talk
more
about
in
a
few
minutes.
We're
seeing
mechanisms
to
expedite
discharges
from
the
hospital
and
transfers
and
the
state
is
investing
a
significant
amount
of
resources
right
now
to
roll
out
monoclonal
antibody
treatments,
which
are
projected
to
be
able
to
reduce
hospitalizations
13
to
23
percent,
and
we
are
also
hoping
that
the
two
upcoming
applications
for
emergency
use
authorization
for
two
different
pills,
that
early
data
shows
cut,
severe
illness
and
hospitalizations
will
be
approved.
R
So,
let's
turn
for
a
minute
to
a
little
more
hopeful
spot
and
look
at
some
vaccination
rates.
These
are
our
updated
vaccination
rates
and
it's
very
exciting
to
see
this
five
to
11
added
to
the
list.
We
already
have
five
percent
of
the
population
with
at
least
a
partial
course
of
vaccinations
and
we'll
be
working
hard
to
move
that
number
up
as
quickly
as
people
are
ready
for
it.
R
So
this
is,
you
know,
just
your
usual
update.
We
are
now
at
69.7
percent
of
the
boulder
county
residents
have
had
a
full
course
of
the
covid
vaccine.
R
You
will
note
that,
because
we
have
now
made
ages
5
to
11
eligible
for
the
vaccine,
it's
going
to
bring
down
our
percentage
of
the
eligible
population
in
these
two
areas.
That's
not
a
bad
thing.
That's
just
getting
a
little
bit
further
down
the
line
in
recognizing
that
we
have
a
bigger
population
that
now
has
the
opportunity
to
get
that
vaccination.
R
R
We
have
seen
that
in
that
60
to
69
percent
age
60
to
69
year
old
group
that
about
85
86
were
fully
vaccinated
and
of
that
86
36.6
have
now
gotten
a
booster
and
among
70
and
older,
about
98
were
vaccinated
and
about
55
percent
have
gotten
a
booster.
So
that's
terrific
news.
It
means
that
people
are
seeking
the
boosters
out
and
they
are
being
able
to
move
in
that
space
to
get
them.
R
Our
goal
is
to
not,
as
just
the
agency
but
as
a
county,
is
to
vaccinate
about
14
000
of
the
23
000
kids
in
that
age
range.
So
about
60
by
the
end
of
january
that
we
think
that's
actually
a
realistic
time
frame
for
getting
that
work
done.
R
R
For
november
december
and
january,
we
are
working
with
our
community
ambassadors
to
make
sure
that
priority
populations
are
able
to
access
those
equity
clinics,
we're
also
giving
parents
boosters
if
they
show
up
and
want
one,
because
you
know
there,
we
want
there
to
be
kind
of
a
no
wrong
door
of
getting
shots
in
arms
and
in
the
long
term,
the
plan
is
to
integrate
those
clinics
into
bcph's
children's
clinics
and
and
other
equity
clinics.
R
R
One
is
focused
on
vaccine,
hesitant
parents
under
12,
and
the
other
is
focused
on
youth
and
young
adults,
and
one
thing
that's
interesting
that
we're
finding
is
that
the
prevalence
of
mental
health
challenges
in
that
age
group
is
one
of
the
barriers
to
those
kids,
those
young
folks,
getting
vaccinated
and
so
we're
looking
at
how
we
can
create
strategies
that
address
both
of
those
issues.
Together.
S
S
S
One
is
a
recommendation
to
move
indoor
gatherings
outdoors
and
the
second
is
a
recommendation
that,
if
you
are
in
a
crowd
of
people
from
different
households,
even
outdoors
that
you
should
wear
a
mask,
this
is
not
intended
to
be
new
or
novel
again.
This
is
following
cdc
recommendations,
but
rather
meant
to
be
an
advisory,
so
the
public
is
aware
of.
What's
going
on
next
slide,
please.
S
Public
health's
business
team
is
continuing
to
work
with
businesses,
both
with
respect
to
education
and
enforcement
of
orders,
as
well
as
responding
to
the
vaccine
verification
program.
To
date
we
have
had
288
businesses
applied
to
the
vaccine,
verification
program
of
which
241
businesses
have
been
approved,
and
the
remaining
businesses
are
in
various
stages
of
that
process.
S
S
Local
governments
here
in
boulder
county
city
of
boulder,
longmont,
boulder,
county
and
others
have
all
made
vaccines
mandatory
for
their
employees,
and
we
continue
to
have
school
mask
requirements
around
the
state.
These
have
been
put
in
place
both
by
local
public
agencies,
as
well
as
many
school
districts
are
stepping
up
to
do
this
work.
S
S
S
The
state
has
also
issued
a
han
a
health
alert
network
message
to
health
care
providers,
saying
how
monoclonal
antibodies
should
be
distributed,
and
the
state
is
ramping
up
efforts
on
that.
As
lexi
mentioned,
the
state
has
also
followed
boulder
county
public
health's
lead
and
has
issued
a
public
health
advisory
regarding
limitle
limited
hospital
capacity
in
the
state.
S
S
There's
been
a
lot
of
movement
on
the
federal
level
as
well:
osha
issued
the
rule
for
the
president's
directive
that
employers
with
a
hundred
or
more
employees
be
backs,
be
required
to
vaccinate
by
january.
4Th
and
unvaccinated
employees
must
mask
and
test
once
per
week.
This
affects
84
million
workers.
S
S
S
S
S
S
You
do
not
you
see
the
religious
exemption
in
the
employment
context
because
of
title
vii,
which
is
a
federal
statute.
It
requires
certain
employers
to
have
a
religious
exemption
for
vaccine
requirements,
but
the
courts
have
largely
said
that
there
is
no
constitutional
right
to
a
religious
exemption
for
a
vaccine
mandate.
S
S
Some
states
have
already
declared
that
getting
fired
for
failure
to
vaccinate
does
not
entitle
a
person
to
unemployment
benefits,
and
we
are
also
starting
to
see
that
some
industries
such
as
teaching
and
health
care.
It
may
actually
become
very
difficult
for
an
individual
to
get
a
new
job
in
these
industries
without
being
vaccinated.
R
F
Well,
thanks
for
inviting
me,
I
I
thought
I'd
say
a
little
bit
more
about
myself
and
some
of
the
the
I
think
the
glimmers
of
hope.
So
I'm
an
infectious
diseases
physician
I've
worked
in
tb
and
hiv
care
for
past
12
years,
and
so
I
just
recently
joined
boulder
county
public
health
in
october
to
take
over
for
dr
urbina.
F
F
The
vaccines
are
highly
effective
for
this
age
group
in
terms
of
preventing
infections,
so
90
effective,
really
minimal
side
effects,
and
you
know
at
least
my
own
sort
of
limited
personal
experience,
at
least
with
having
my
own
elementary
school-aged
kids.
Is
that
they've
tolerated
it
really
well
and
so
they're
friends,
because
they're
all
talking
about
it.
So
I
do
think
that
they're
that
that
this
is
an
exciting
development.
I
think
it
remains
to
be
seen
how
much
this
will
impact
community
transmission.
F
It
certainly
will
impact
you
know,
keeping
kids
in
school
and
keeping
kids
safe,
and
I
am
hopeful
that
we
may
see
some
reduced
transmission
in
families
as
well,
but
I
think
that
remains
to
be
seen,
and
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
I'm,
also
happy
to
take
questions
or
you
know,
I
don't
know
if
that's
the
right
space
for
this
and
hear
any
concerns.
B
Great
I'll
jump
in
and
say
thank
you
to
you,
camille
lexi,
michelle
and
kate,
for
being
here.
We
as
always
appreciate
getting
the
update,
and
it
sounds
like
this-
is
pretty
fresh
information
for
us
so
and,
as
you
say,
a
bit
discouraging,
but
we
will
focus
on
the
upside
of
people
getting
more
vaccines.
So
with
that
I'll
turn
to
council
and
see,
if
there's
any
questions,
I
have
bob.
G
This
is
probably
a
question.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation.
This
is
probably
a
question
for
either
dr
haas
or
dr
nolan.
If
I
go
to
the
boulder
community
health
website
and
look
about
booster
shots,
it
seems
to
me
it
indicates
that
for
those
who
are
under
65.
D
G
R
F
Great
question
and
observation,
so
you
may
also
notice
if
you
go
to
cd
ph's
website
that
they're,
you
know,
and
the
state
has
said
that
we're
that,
because
colorado
is
a
high
transmission
environment
that
we're
all
at
high
risk,
and
so
anyone
aged
18
years
of
age
and
older
who
lives
in
colorado.
F
You
know
who's
six
months
out
from
their
first
series
is
now
eligible
for
a
booster
shot,
which
is
it
is
like
you
know.
Do
you
know
it's
a
little
bit
different
than
what
cdc
is
recommending?
I
did
hear
that
cd
phd
did
actually
have
a
conversation.
You
know
did
communicate
that
with
cdc
and
the
you
know
cdc
isn't
having
any.
Is
it
isn't
concerned
about
colorado,
taking
that
that
stance,
so
so
what
that
would
mean
for
all
you
know.
F
G
What's
which
bch
is
showing
their
website,
so
maybe
that
needs
to
be
updated.
So
if
for
those
who
are
watching
who
are
under
65,
who
don't
have
a
health
condition,
how
do
they
get
a
booster
shot?
What's
the
best
way,
I
know
sam
read
off
a
booster
link
at
the
very
beginning
of
the
meeting
is:
is
that
as
simple
as
that
is
just
going
going
to
your
pharmacy
or
going
to
your
doctor
and
getting
a
booster
regardless
of
your
age?
If
you're
six
months
out.
F
Yes,
in
theory
I
mean,
I
think
in
practice,
sometimes
it's
a
little
hard
to
navigate,
but,
yes,
you
can,
you
can
go
to
a
pharmacy
and
you
can
go,
you
know,
go
see,
you
know
talk
to
your
provider
and
and
get
a
booster.
That
way
so,
and
you
know
I
will
name
that
I
mean
that
this
stuff
is
really
rapidly
changing.
It's
sort
of
you
know,
sort
of
the
area
that
we
live
in
and
I
I
so
we
you
know
we'll
get
the
website
updated
as
soon
as
possible.
R
Just
to
mention
also
that,
when
you
sign
up
to
make
an
appointment
that
you
do
a
self
self-attestation
process,
you
say
what
your
rationale
is
and
you're.
Taking
at
your
word
for
why
you
feel
you
need
a
booster,
and
people
are
just
encouraged
that
if
they
feel
like
they're
ready
for
a
booster,
if
they
feel
like
that,
would
provide
extra
protection
for
them
and
their
families
to
to
go
ahead
and
take
that
step.
J
Thank
you
sam.
I
have
three
questions
I
wanted
to
ask
based
on
the
presentation
and
thank
you
about
for
asking
that
question
actually,
and
I
just
want
to
ask
that
question.
First,
before
we
move
on
for
someone
who's
healthy
someone
who's
young,
what
is
the
purpose
of
getting
the
booster
shot.
F
I
can
do
I
can
take
that
one.
So
what
we're
seeing
both
in
the
u.s
and
then
also
there
there
was
some
early
data
coming
from
israel-
is
that
it
looks
like
immunity
or
protection
against
kobe.
19
starts
to
go
down
or
wane
right
around
five
or
six
months,
and
so
you
know
it's
hard
to
actually
to
be
honest
factor
in
the
impact
of
delta
and
and
weather
and
waning
immunity.
F
But
but
that
effect
is
is
fairly
is
has
been
pretty
consistent
and
also
it's
not
only
seen
with
pfizer,
but
it's
also
seen
with
moderna
as
well,
and
so
so
because
of
we're
seeing
this
is
why
you
know
cdc,
went
ahead
and
took
that
recommendation
there
there
does
seem
to
be.
J
Thank
you.
My
next
question
is,
you
talked
about
on
slide.
Eight,
you
talked
about
the
numbers
per
100
000
and
I
saw
two
for
243.72
and
then
on
slide
23.
You
talked
about
the
the
18
to
19
group,
which
is
only
a
41
vaccination
rate,
and
I
wanted
to
know
for
boulder
county
similar
to
the
map
that
you
have
on
slide
a
do.
You
have
like
a
heat
map
to
know
which
part
of
the
community
that
is
leading
to
this
search.
R
We
the
slide
that
we
presented
on
the
geographic
distribution
points.
R
What
was
obvious
in
the
slide
was
that
longmont
has
a
disproportionate
number
of
cases,
and
then
there
was
kind
of
this
other
municipalities
and
an
incorporated
folder
when
you
begin
to
break
that
out
and
you
track
it
by
more
specific
municipalities,
erie
lyons
nederland,
it
is
the
counties
that
are
closer
to
our
borders
of
other
counties
where
we,
you
know
where
we
have
a
lot
more
permeability
of
the
county
line
and
people
going
back
and
forth
people
commuting
for
work
and
school
and
play
going
in
and
out
of
boulder
county
and
mostly
into
counties
that
have
much
higher
case
rates
than
we
do,
and
it
just
creates
a
bleed
effect.
J
Wow,
no
that's
interesting
to
hear.
I
wouldn't
have
imagined
that
the
surrounding
counties
were
impacting
us
that
tremendously,
especially
in
that
itself,
the
university
right
here
and
it's-
and
we
have
a
university
here
in
boulder
with
a
lot
of
young
people
between
18.
R
J
J
Thank
you
that
that's
great
to
hear
that's
very
encouraging.
I
think
my
last
question
for
you
is
earlier.
You
talked
about
gathering,
I
was
just
slightly.
I
just
need
some
clarification
around
gathering.
You
said,
even
if
people
are
gathering
outside
and
they're
fully
vaccinated,
they
should
still
wear
a
mask.
Did
I
get
that
correctly.
R
If
people
are
gathering
closely
together,
if
they're
in
crowds,
if
they're
going
to
concerts,
if
they're
you
know
in
close
proximity
to
a
lot
of
other
people,
yeah,
it's
a
good
idea
to
wear
a
mask
right
now,
even
if
you're
outdoors,
but
particularly
if
you're
in
larger
crowds.
F
E
Can
you
hear
me
it's
been
a
while,
since
I
used
this
yeah,
okay,
yeah.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
have
just
a
couple
questions.
You
said
that
businesses
can
get
certified
and
then
they
don't
need
people
to
present
vaccines.
How
does
that
work
with
businesses
like
restaurants
or
you
know,
retail?
Are
those
businesses
able
to
get
some
hours
certified
or
is
that?
S
S
I
will
say
that
the
majority
of
businesses
that
have
applied
have
primarily
been
offices
that
do
not
generally
face
the
public,
so
it's
easier
for
those
businesses
to
apply
with
respect
to
retail
and
restaurants.
We
are
encouraging
those
businesses
to
look
at
having
design
they
could
have
designated
hours.
S
We
have
not
seen
a
large
uptake
in
the
program
amongst
restaurants.
We
are
hoping
that
will
increase
now
that
five
to
11
are
vaccine
eligible
and
we're
also,
you
know
working
closely
with
the
chamber
to
try
and
promote
the
program
amongst
industries
that
are
not
heavily
represented
right
now.
E
S
Yeah
we
would
love,
we
would
love
it
if
restaurants
would
consider
having
vaccine
verified
nights
and
with
respect
to
showing
proof
that
also
is
intended
to
be
very
flexible.
So
I
would
say
the
most
common
forms
of
proof.
Are
you
know
people
have
their
physical
cards
their
cdc
cards,
they
can
show
a
picture
of
their
cdc
cards
and
then
the
my
colorado
app
has
been
a
really
useful
tool
for
showing
proof
it's
just
an
app
and
you
can
pull
it
up
on
your
phone.
You
can
also
pull
your
driver's
license
up
on
that.
S
If
you
need
it
so
really
or
you
can
even
you
know,
present
healthcare
records
from
your
provider,
but
across
all
of
those
boards,
we're
hoping
you
know
that
captures
everyone
that
wants
to
participate.
E
Awesome,
I
would
love
to
see
those
kind
of
nights
too.
So
if
there's
something
that
we
can
do
to
help,
please
let
us-
or
at
least
me
know,
okay
next
question,
I
I
think
I
heard
you
say
that
the
state
goal
was
to
keep
hospitals
under
capacity,
and
it
sounds
like
we're
close
to
that
not
happening
that
we
we
are
down
to
a
low
number
of
beds,
so
is
there
any
chance
that
the
state's
going
to
do
some
more
aggressive
statewide?
E
I
don't
know
actions
like
I
think
this
time
last
year
I
could
only
get
together
with
like
two
other
people
in
a
backyard
right,
we're
six
feet
apart.
You
know
we
were
all
sort
of
hanging
outside
with
our
close
friends
and
small
groups
and
we
had
mass
mandates.
So
is
the
state
looking
at
any
of
that
and
are
we
as
a
county,
going
to
look
at
any
more
of
the
physical
separation
ideas
like
we
had
implemented
around
this
time
last
year,.
E
I
don't
know
who
that's
too
yeah.
Do
you
want
to
take
that
one,
and
I
guess
a
follow-up?
Is
there
anything
we
can
do
as
a
council?
If
we
wanted
to
you
know
advocate
in
that
we
it
feels
like
boulder
county
is
doing
what
we
can
do,
but
it
is
still
seeping
in
from
nearby
counties
who
don't
have
the
mandates.
Q
I
can
give
this
a
try.
Thank
you
for
those
very
spot-on
questions.
Q
We
are
in
constant
conversation
with
colleagues
from
our
surrounding
counties
and
and
often
with
cdphe,
our
state
health
partners,
and
we
all
row
in
the
same
direction
to
have
our
leadership
at
cdphe,
encouraged
the
governor
to
take
extra
actions
that
would
protect
and
promote
the
health
of
all
of
the
citizens
of
colorado.
Q
Q
We
don't
mind,
taking
the
leap
to
protect
our
most
vulnerable,
which
is
why
we
started
with
the
school
public
health
order
and
then
followed
with
the
universal
indoor
public
order.
But
always
we
would
have
hoped
that
that
the
governor
would
have
seen
that
this
was
an
oriented
to
changing
the
behaviors,
to
implementing
layered
mitigation
strategies
to
prevent
community
spread
and
to
prevent
the
hospitals
feeling
what
they're
feeling
now.
Q
I
know
the
governor
pays
attention
to
boulder,
and
I
know
that
we
have
some
continued
opportunities
to
present
why
we
feel,
like
our
strategies
have
worked
and
those
are
going
to
happen
in
the
future.
I
can't
give
you
advice
as
to
whether
or
not
you
should
advocate
for
more
orders
or
for
more
layered
mitigation.
Q
So
at
this
point
we
continue
to
always
want
to
serve
and
support
our
community
and
to
work
with
cd
phd
to
continue
to
advocate
so
that
originally
even
we
could
be
rowing
in
the
same
direction
with
orders.
But
that
isn't
what
what
played
out-
and
I
think
that
you
all
saw
that
in
the
data
that
dr
nolan
presented
and
how
we
explain
to
council
member
joseph
that
that
we
have
a
situation
where
those
those
areas
of
our
county
that
are
closest
to
places
without
orders
are
experiencing
the
highest
case
loads.
Q
So
to
that
end,
really
I'm
I'm
going
to
close
out
this.
This
answer,
with
our
gratitude
to
you
and
to
your
city,
manager
and
staff,
for
helping
us
achieve
the
implementation
of
of
especially
the
universal
masking
order
and
for
supporting
us,
especially
with
the
vaccine
verification
program,
because
without
that
kind
of
support,
I
think
we
would
be
having
an
entirely
different
discussion
about
case
numbers
and
hospitalizations
in
boulder
county.
And
so
thank
you
for
your
discernment
there
to
know
that
part
of
this
is
at
the
highest
levels
of
leadership.
E
R
E
E
The
follow-up
email
would
be
great
and
then
last
question.
I
think
that
16
and
17
year
olds
were
eligible
for
shots
before
12
to
15
or
11
to
15
year
olds,
and
I
don't
believe
that
they
are
eligible
for
boosters.
Yet
just
wondered
if
you
know
why
that
is.
I
think
there
are
a
lot
in
that
age
group
that
are
frontline
workers
and
working
in
healthcare
facilities
and
have
the
waning
immunity.
So
confused.
Is
there.
E
R
R
F
Dr
haas
yeah,
I
can
take
that
one.
You
know
it's
possible
that
that
will
change.
I
was
actually
just
looking
this
up
yesterday,
so
in
the
the
lancet
they
just
published
the
experience
with
israel,
so
israel
has
actually
offered
boosters
down
to
age
12
and
in
their
most
recent
publication
they
looked
at
16
and
older
and
then,
when
they
looked
at
like
outcomes,
they
actually
lumped
in
16
year
olds
with
the
39
year
olds,
and
so
it's
just
really
difficult
to
sort
of
tease
out.
F
You
know:
risk
benefit
in
the
younger
age
groups
based
on
the
data
that's
presented
so
far,
but
at
least
that
tells
me
that
israel
does
have
data
on
impact
of
booster
dosing
in
the
younger
age
groups,
and
so
hopefully
we
can
learn
from
their
experience,
and
I
think
one
of
the
key
questions
is
just
ensuring
safety
with
the
boosters
in
in
that
younger
age
group,
and
I
think
the
data
are
there
and
that
it
is
safe.
F
It's
just
that
that
hasn't
been
presented
yet,
and
so
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
think,
but
you
know
that
the
recommendation
so
far
has
down
to
18
and
older.
I
also
saw
a
headline
that
pfizer
was
going
to
ask
the
fda
for
eua
approval
to
to
give
boosters
to
all
eligible
folks
that
can
be
vaccinated.
I
don't
know
where
that's
going
to
stand,
I
mean
so.
It
sounds
like
I
think.
All
of
that
tells
us
that
there
there
is
some.
F
There
is
data
that
can
be
looked
at
that
it's
going
to
be.
You
know
that
that
pfizer
that
the
fda
may
be
looking
at
this
soon
and
so
hopefully
we'll
have
more
information
on
extending
to
those
lower
age
groups
by
the
end
of
the
year.
But
so
it's
an
excellent
question
and
the
bottom
line
is:
is
that
way?
F
U
Not
a
question,
but
just
a
shout
out
to
the
30
to
39
year
old
group
for
being
second
highest
in
vaccination
rate,
way
to
go
for
the
no
good
millennials
for
helping
lead.
The
way.
B
I
have
one
question
which
is:
it
looks
to
me
from
the
chart
that
you
showed
earlier,
like
we've
had
a
little
more
than
20
deaths
in
boulder
county
in
the
last
month
or
so.
Do
you
know
what
fraction
of
those
were
unvaccinated.
R
I
don't
off
hand.
We
are
we're
hoping
that
we
can
find
some
bandwidth
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks
to
do
a
little
bit
of
a
dive
on
what's
going
on.
Why
we're
seeing
such
an
increase
in
deaths
and
to
see,
if
that
gives
us
any
strategic
direction
for
how
we
can
intervene
a
little
bit
sooner
in
some
of
those
spaces,
and
that
will
be
part
of
the
assessment
and
the
analysis
is
to
take
a
look
at
that
distribution.
B
V
Well,
first,
thank
you
for
that
complete
and
very
sobering
report.
I
actually
I
only
have
one
question
as
we
are
getting
down
to
the
the
sort
of
the
bottom
of
the
barrel
with
respect
to
our
icu
beds,
is
there
any
possibility
of
creating
more
icu
beds.
F
It
always
has
to
happen
to
me
at
least
once
a
day.
I
don't
know
the
answer
to
that.
All
I
can
say
is
that
in
general,
and
I'm
really
just
speaking
from
my
own
home
institution
at
denver,
health
like
we,
we
have
talked
about
ways
to
you-
know:
redeploy
hospitals,
for
example,
that
have
icu
experience
and
and
sort
of
shift.
You
know
sort
of
shift
how
staff
you
know
are
utilized
in
that
capacity.
F
R
That
I
know
that
the
state
is
also
working
on
bringing
more
ventilators
into
colorado
from
states
that
don't
need
them
as
much
as
we
do
right
now
and
we
are
importing
a
very
significant
workforce,
both
through
fema
and
also
through
other
arrangements
of
providers
in
states
that
don't
need
them
as
much
as
we
do.
That.
R
I
think,
is
going
to
make
a
significant
difference
in
the
staffing
issue
that
we're
facing
right
now
and
will
support
the
rollout
of
the
monoclonal
antibody
treatment,
which
is
expected
to
be
a
significant
contributor
to
preventing
the
need
for
more
icu
beds,
so
that
we
can
prevent
that
level
of
severe
illness.
A
little
bit
more
aggressively.
B
B
Thank
you
very
much
and
with
that
we
will
move
on
shortly,
but
juni
joseph,
I
believe,
has
a
few
words
she
wants
to
say.
I
think
you
have
to
leave
and
so
I'll
kick
it
over
to
you.
Ginny.
J
Thank
you,
sam,
and
I
know
this
is
the
well.
This
is
the
last
council
meeting
with
the
old
council
and
there
will
be
a
new
council.
I
just
wanted
to
take
this
moment
to
just
share
my
appreciation
and
thank
all
of
you,
I'm
one
of
those
people
that
I
do
not
goodbyes,
but
hopefully
this
is
not
goodbye
but
see
you
next
time.
J
I
met
you
for
two
years
ago,
when
it
when
I
became
a
council
member
and
over
the
last
two
years,
we've
endured
a
lot
together
as
a
council
and
council
members,
we
have
dealt
with
a
once
in
a
lifetime
pandemic.
We've
also
dealt
with
a
tragic
shooting
in
our
community,
but
we
also
had
good
experiences.
J
The
work
is
not
done
or
over,
but
I
understand
that
life
takes
all
of
us
in
different
directions
at
time
and
now
before
leaving
the
account,
I
hope
you
will
reach
out
about
the
issues
that
are
important
to
you.
I
look
forward
to
seeing
you
around
boulder,
whether
on
open
space
or
on
the
pearl
street,
mall
god
bless
and
godspeed.
Thank
you.
Sam.
B
C
T
T
Day
and
I
didn't
realize,
we'd
be
visible
from
the
waist
up,
so
apologies
for
the
it's
been
a
long
zoom,
okay,
zoom
habits.
Okay,
I'm
reading
a
declaration
honoring
adam
swetlick's
service
on
the
boulder
city
council
dated
november
9th
2021.
T
in
2019,
adam
swetlick,
was
elected
to
a
two-year
term
on
the
boulder
city
council,
originally
from
green
bay,
wisconsin
adam
moved
to
boulder
in
2006
to
attend
the
leeds
school
of
business
at
the
university
of
colorado.
Cu
at
boulder,
graduating
in
2010
with
a
bachelor's
degree
in
marketing
since
graduating
from
cu.
Adam
has
worked
in
eclectic
jobs,
ranging
from
head
coach
of
the
university
of
colorado
club
rowing
team
to
door
person
for
the
walrus
saloon
to
currently
a
marketing
specialist
for
a
local
honey
company
called
bjorn's
colorado.
T
Honey
adam
has
been
a
strong
advocate
for
reducing
wealth
inequality
and
for
increasing,
affordable
housing,
living
wages,
transportation
options
and
funding.
In
2017
he
was
appointed
to
the
city's
housing
advisory
board,
serving
as
chair
as
board
chair
before
being
elected
to
council,
while
on
council
adam
has
served
on
internal
city
groups
such
as
the
audit
committee
council,
retreat
committee
guiding
coalition
for
racial
equity
and
the
sister
city
subcommittee
with
me.
T
Moreover-
and
I
would
say
most
importantly-
adam
has
steadfastly
served
our
community
with
unparalleled
integrity
and
heart
and
I'm
gonna
try
not
to
cry
now
on
issues
ranging
from
homelessness
and
affordable
housing
to
municipalization
and
climate
crisis.
Resiliency
adam
has
been
fearless
in
giving
insight
from
his
generational
perspective
and
making
space
for
other
underrepresented
community
voices
to
be
heard.
T
We,
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
boulder
colorado,
recognize
honor
and
appreciate
adam
sweatless,
sweat,
licks
service
on
council
and
his
many
contributions
to
the
community,
and
I
will
just
say
on
a
personal
vote
note.
I
am
deeply
saddened
that
he
didn't
run
again
and
will
not
be
here
for
my
next
two
years.
Thank
you,
adam.
U
Thank
you
rachel
for
reading
that
one
of
the
things
that
I've
cherished
most
is
we
all.
Oh,
we
all
came
in.
We
all
came
in
from
very
different
backgrounds
and
with
very
different
viewpoints
and
over
the
time
that
we've
been
here
together,
we've
really
been
able
to
just
coalesce
as
a
group
together
and
tackle
the
tough
issues,
and
you
know
during
all
that
time,
even
though
we
didn't
get
to
be
together
physically,
I
I
just
think
so
highly
of
all
of
you,
city
staff,
city,
council,
the
community
members
in
the
city.
U
U
Probably
my
biggest
accomplishment
is
making
sure
meetings
start
on
time,
and
I
I
expect
that
to
continue
for
those
of
you
who
are
going
to
be
here,
because
if
it
doesn't
after
a
year,
I'm
going
to
come
yell
at
you
about
that.
So
please,
you
know,
keep
that
up
city
staff
nuria!
Please
do
your
job
and
keep
them
on
task.
U
There's
so
much
I
could
say,
but
honestly
going
forward.
I
just
really
hope
that
all
the
members
of
our
community
really
try
to
lead
with
kindness.
U
I
think
through
the
pandemic,
we've
seen
a
lack
of
that
and
it
means
so
much
especially
to
the
sitting
members
of
council
when
you
get
a
kind
email.
When
you
get
a
kind
word
from
someone,
it
means
everything
in
the
world
because
that's
very
rarely
what
we
get
so
it
honestly
sustains
us
through,
and
I
know
the
ones
who
are
continuing
over
the
next
two
years,
they're
going
to
need
that
help
based
on
what
they've
been
through.
So
just
thank
you
all
and
I'll
leave
you
with.
U
You
know
a
few
words
my
grandma
taught
me.
She
was
four
foot
ten,
but
she
was
towering
above
me
in
terms
of
love
and
kindness,
and
she
always
said
you
know
you,
don't
you
don't
always
have
to
agree
with
everyone,
but
you
have
to
try
to
be
nice
to
them.
So
I
just
wish
that
for
our
community
and
keep
trying
to
do
that.
Please
tip
your
servers.
They
need
it
more
than
ever
and
yeah.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all
for
the
awesome
ride.
V
V
V
V
W
Yes,
thank
you
mark
for
reading
that
really
appreciate
it.
If
you
guys
can't
hear
me
just
let
me
know
I'm
sorry,
I
couldn't
be
with
you
in
person
tonight
I
have
some
sick
kitties
at
home
that
needed
my
my
care,
so
I
I
just
want
to
start
off
with
first
of
all
thanking
my
family,
my
parents
and
my
husband
for
the
support
through
this
ride
on
council.
As
adam
said,
it's
been
wild.
W
W
I
want
to
thank
the
staff
members.
I
was
able
to
work
with
over
the
four
years,
new
ones
and
ones
that
have
since
left,
especially
heidi
and
lynette.
They
were
joyous
to
to
work
with
and
get
to
see
when
we
were
there
in
person,
and
so
I
just
really
appreciate
the
service
from
everyone
in
our
community.
W
I
guess
the
one
thing
I
will
say
moving
forward
that
I
will
request
of
the
next
council
is
to
remember
that
this
community,
I
think,
is
made
special
because
we've
always
taken
a
notice
of
the
world
around
us
and
how
dearly
special.
That
is
to
everyone
and
that's.
W
Why
so
many
people
move
here
and
that's
why
we
have
our
open
space,
remembering
that
when
we
make
votes
that
we
not
only
affect
ourselves,
but
we
affect
our
surroundings
and
the
interconnected
web
of
the
world
that
exists,
and
so
by
remembering
that
maybe
humans,
don't
always.
W
Take
the
forefront
and
that
sometimes
we
remember
that
nature
and
wildlife
also
need
to
be
present
in
our
goals
and
to
look
at
generations
forward
and
how
things
are
going
to
be
affected
in
that
manner.
With
the
votes
that
we
make
is
desperately
important
moving
forward
in
the
world
that
we
now
live
in.
W
W
I've
seen
a
lot
of
sad
things
in
in
my
years
that
I've
been
here,
and
so
I
really
hope
that
that
can
turn
around
and,
as
adam
said
as
well,
I
hope
that
we
can
start
showing
each
other,
the
kindness.
This
was
a
difficult
four
years,
probably
the
most
challenging
of
my
life,
and
that's
where
my
family
support
came
in
and
and
even
my
animals
being
able
to
come
home
and
cuddle.
W
We
have
the
right
to
vote
against
something
that
someone
else
absolutely
advocates
for,
but
in
the
end
to
remember
that
there
is
a
level
of
respect
that
would
be
nice
to
be
shown
to
everyone
and
that
we
all
have
value
and
trying
to
remember
that
sometimes
can
be
difficult,
but
it
exists.
So
I
wish
you
all
the
best
of
luck.
Moving
forward.
It's
been
an
honor
getting
to
serve
with
you
all
and
I'm
so
sorry.
I
could
not
see
you
in
person
tonight.
D
Well,
let
me
just
start
by
saying
this
is
a
great
honor
to
be
able
to
read
this
a
little
further
down
right.
D
It's
a
great
honor
to
move
to
the
center
of
the
room
and
present
this
declaration
to
mary
young.
I
mary
and
I
have
worked
together
for
11
years
when
I
first
got
on
planning
board.
11
years
ago,
mary
had
a
couple
of
years
of
tenure.
I
looked
up
to
her
and
I
learned
a
lot
from
her
and
then
she
went
on
to
council.
D
Yes,
exactly
I
looked
up
and
she
moved
on
to
council
and
a
couple
years
later
I
followed
on
the
council
and
again
looked
up
to
her
and
learned
a
great
deal
from
her
and
have
continued
to
learn
from
her
up
to
this
day.
D
So
as
they
say,
it's
an
honor
here
we
go
declaration
honoring
mary
young
service
on
the
boulder
city
council
november,
9th
2021
in
2013,
mary
young,
was
elected
to
a
four-year
term
on
the
boulder
city
council
and
was
re-elected
in
2017
to
another
four-year
term.
Throughout
her
eight
years
on,
council
mary
has
used
her
voice
to
amplify
issues
of
racial
equity,
affordable
housing,
climate
action
and
strategic
planning.
D
After
finishing
her
masters
in
mechanical
engineering
from
the
university
of
california,
mary
returned
to
boulder
in
1982
and
has
called
it
home
ever
since
her
engineering
career
covered
a
range
of
assignments
from
developing
mining
instrumentation
to
designing
juvenile
products
to
operations,
management
for
a
small
startup
in
boulder
county,
and
she
worked
in
engineering
related
businesses
until
2008
after
retiring
from
our
engineering
career
in
2008.
Mary
began
a
second
career
in
public
service
in
2009,
when
she
was
appointed
to
the
planning
board
for
five
years
and
served
as
chair
before
her
election
to
council.
D
Throughout
her
time
on
council
mary
served
as
mayor
pro
tem
from
2015
to
2016
and
has
served
on
internal
city
groups
such
as
the
charter
and
elections
committee,
council,
employee
evaluation
committee,
financial
strategy
committee
and
the
guiding
coalition
for
racial
equity.
She's
also
represented
boulder
on
the
colorado
chautauqua
association.
A
city
partner
organization,
during
her
time
in
boulder
mary,
has
held
positions
with
non-profits,
including
growing
gardens
of
boulder
county
and
vo
mobility
services.
D
She
has
served
on
the
board
of
ego
car
share
and
for
three
years
participated
in
committees
that
award
grants
for
the
community
foundation
of
boulder
county
in
2012.
She
was
chosen
for
a
rose
community
foundation
fellowship
to
provide
to
develop
a
transportation
project
that
focuses
on
the
well-being
of
latino
elders,
as
the
city
has
been
seeking
more
and
better
ways
to
engage
new
and
different
people.
Mary's
strong
ties
to
the
local
latino
community
have
been
an
incredible
asset
in
that
effort.
D
These
programs
and
resources
have
helped
augment
city
services
to
better
address
and
support
the
unique
needs
of
the
latino
community.
So
we,
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
boulder
colorado,
recognize
honor
and
appreciate
mary
young's
contributions
to
the
city.
Who's.
Dedicating
to
his
dedication
to
creating
a
community
for
people
of
all
backgrounds
has
been
a
hallmark
of
her
service.
X
I
just
want
to
say
that
what
I've
always
said
about
serving
on
council
is
that
it's
always
challenging
and
sometimes
gratifying
and
tonight
is
certainly
a
gratifying
night,
not
just
because
it's
my
last
meeting
but
but
because
it's
been
so
wonderful
to
work
with
my
colleagues,
all
of
you
and
then
all
of
my
past
colleagues,
throughout
my
eight
years
on
city,
council
and
five
years
on
planning
board,
I
could
have
run
again,
but
I
just
felt
that
starting
my
service
in
the
aftermath
of
the
2013
flood
and
ending
it
with
a
worldwide
pandemic
was
probably
a
good
bookend
to
each
other.
X
But
in
all
seriousness,
I
want
to
echo
what
adam
and
nearby
have
said
about
the
community
that
we
live
in,
and
you
know
the
the
strong
voices
and
how
we
move
things
forward
in
this
community.
X
How
our
work
on
council
is
amplified
by
the
community
and
it's
actually
done
by
our
city
staff,
which
is
so
amazing,
and
we
should
always
remember
that
they're,
the
ones
that
do
the
work,
and
so
they
should
be
part
of
the
collaboration.
So
thank
you
and
thank
you
all.
It's
been
just
a
wonderful
honor
to
work
with
each
and
every
one
of
you
and
I
will
miss
it,
but
I'm
going
to
have
a
lot
of
fun.
C
A
M
G
But
this
is
a
very
long
decoration,
so
we'll
we'll
we'll
take
our
time
sam.
I
want
to
read
the
declaration
first
and
I'll
have
a
couple
of
words
like
other
speakers
have
had.
So
this
is
a
declaration
on
our
mayor,
sam
weaver
and
his
service
to
our
community
in
2013,
sam
weaver
was
elected
to
a
four-year
term
on
the
boulder
city
council
and
sam
was
reelected
in
2017
to
another,
four-year
term.
G
G
Sam
is
the
president,
ceo
and
co-founder
of
cool
energy
inc,
a
power
conversion
equipment
company
located
here
in
boulder
sam,
says,
on
the
board
of
directors
of
proton
power,
a
biomass
power
and
fuels
company
sam
serves
as
a
volunteer
served
as
a
volunteer
firefighter
for
15
years,
including
one
term
as
chief
and
sam
has
been
active
in
the
boulder
county.
Democratic
party
get
out
the
vote.
Efforts
ever
since
1994.
G
During
his
time
on,
council
sam
has
served
on
internal
city
groups.
This
is
only
a
partial
list,
such
as
the
council
employees,
evaluation
committee,
the
intergovernmental
affairs
committee.
The
cu
south
process
subcommittee
sam,
has
also
represented
the
city
on
regional
groups
and
partner
organizations
such
as
the
colorado
municipal
league's
policy
committee,
the
metro,
mayor's
caucus
national
league
of
cities,
the
rocky
flat
stewardship
council
and
the
northwest
mayor's
commissioners
and
coalition
page
two
in
all
of
these
regional
capacities.
G
The
city's
regional
state
and
federal
policy
efforts
have
benefited
tremendously
by
sam's
tireless
efforts.
I
want
to
say
a
few
personal
words
myself
as
well.
Sam,
you
probably
have
had
the
toughest
two-year
term
as
mayor
as
any
mayor
has.
Since
the
the
founding
of
boulder,
we
had
a
covet
crisis,
which
we
just
talked
about.
We
had
a
terrible,
terrible
shooting
king
supers,
we
had
a
riot
on
the
hill.
We've
had
some
really
really
tough
goes
and
through
it
all
you've
led
us
you've
kept
us
together.
G
G
It's
not
just
our
community.
It's
also
the
nine
of
us
here
on
council,
you've
mentored
us
you've
built
bridges.
You
see
rough
spots,
you
you
patch
them
over.
You've
brought
people
together,
oftentimes
you
come
up
with
creative
solutions
to
seemingly
intractable
problems
and
resulting
in
nine
to
nothing
boats
oftentimes
at
different
places
than
where
we
started.
G
So
I
appreciate
your
creativity
and
just
as
a
personal
note,
sam,
you
are
not
only
our
mayor
but
you're,
my
friend
and
while
one
of
those
is
going
to
end
here
in
about
a
week,
the
other
one
will
last
a
lifetime.
B
Well,
thank
you
bob
and
thank
you
all
and
I'm
going
to
pull
out
a
cheat
sheet,
because
I
don't
trust
myself
to
get
all
this
right,
but
I
want
to
start
by
saying
thank
you
to
some
people
who
really
deserve
thanks,
starting
with
my
wife,
maggie.
She
has
been
with
me
through
the
good
times
and
the
hard
times,
and
there
have
been
some
of
both,
and
I
really
appreciate
the
support
from
her,
my
fellow
council
members,
past
and
present.
B
Mary
talked
me
into
applying
for
the
planning
board
in
the
first
place,
and
she
has
been
my
partner
in
discussion
about
tough
issues,
the
whole
time
I've
been
on
council,
and
it
has
been
super
helpful
to
me.
So
thank
you,
mary
directly
for
that
and
then
staff
there's
way
too
many
staff
members
to
thank.
B
But
the
staff
here
at
the
city
of
boulder
is
passionate
and
dedicated
and
incredible,
and
I
especially
have
to
thank
jane
brodigam
and
chris
meschuk
and
nuria
rivera
vandermeide,
because
without
them
I
would
never
have
been
able
to
get
through
the
last
two
years,
and
so
chris,
especially
to
you
for
the
work
that
we
did
together
after
the
king
super
shooting.
B
You
were
stellar
and
I
really
appreciate
what
you
did
for
the
community
and
for
us
I'd
like
to
remind
us
all
that
the
staff
is
the
tip
of
the
spear
when
there
are
emergencies
in
boulder,
the
police
and
fire
department
get
called
out
right
immediately
after
them
comes
the
staff
in
the
city
manager's
office.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
you
do.
B
B
B
B
Heaven,
on
the
other
hand,
is
very
simple
and
very
hard
caring
about
your
fellow
beings,
one
of
the
most
personally
fulfilling
counsel
projects
for
me,
has
been
working
with
the
tribal
consultation
that
we
did
with
the
original
indigenous
inhabitants
of
the
boulder
valley
and
their
descendants,
and
one
of
the
tasks
set
jointly
between
the
city
and
that
group
of
tribal
governments
was
to
rename
settlers
park
and
the
name
that
the
tribal
leadership
settled
on
was
the
people's
crossing,
which
is
to
me
an
inspired
beautiful
and
symbolic
name
to
be
given
to
this
place,
and
I'd
like
to
think
that
you
know
we're
at
the
intersection
of
history
and
place,
and
it's
in
this
town
that
has
been
built
up
around
the
people's
crossing
council.
B
We're
simply
the
custodians
of
this
place
and
we're
the
custodians
in
the
name
of
the
people
who
are
here
now
and
who
will
who
will
come.
We
do
not
own
boulder
we're
of
boulder
and
I'm
thankful
to
be
lucky
enough
to
be
a
small
part
of
the
story
of
this
beautiful
place
as
we
all
are.
So.
Thank
you
all
so
much
for
working
with
me
through
these
last
two
years,
maria.
P
P
Got
it
it's
been
such
a
pleasure
to
work
with
all
of
you,
and
I
just
wanted
to
appreciate
the
trust
that
you
have
given
me
the
support
you
have
given
me
in
my
six
months
here
and
my
continued
commitment
to,
hopefully
not
let
down
as
we
move
forward
more.
E
B
C
P
Thank
you,
and
this
is
a
hard
pivot
right
as
we
move
into
a
more
difficult
conversation.
As
everyone
knows,
we've
recently
suffered
a
tragic
loss
in
our
unhoused
community.
P
P
We
don't
know
yet
when
the
coroner's
report
will
be
released,
but
do
know
boulder
police
continues
to
work
in
collaboration
with
the
coroner's
office,
as
the
case
remains
open.
Pending
the
coroner's
final
report,
I
can
also
share
that
boulder
officers
were
familiar
with
the
woman
who
died
and
had
attempted
on
more
than
one
occasion
to
connect
her
with
medical
care
and
treatment.
P
Y
Hopefully
you
can
hear
me.
Thank
you.
Nuria
gene
bankart,
deputy
county
attorney
with
the
boulder
county
attorney's
office
has
graciously
offered
to
participate
in
tonight's
meeting
and
provide
information
regarding
the
legal
restraints
of
disclosing
information
on
individuals
and
their
use
of
social
services.
Y
She
heads
the
legal
unit
for
the
family
and
child
services
unit
at
boulder
county
department
of
housing
and
human
services.
Once
gene
is
done.
I
will
then
address
the
legal
restrictions
related
to
criminal
justice
records
related
to
the
boulder
police
department,
and,
with
that
I'll
hand
it
off
to
gene.
Z
Good
evening,
mayor
and
city
manager
and
the
rest
of
city
council,
I'm
jim
banhart,
as
sandra
said,
I'm
deputy
county
attorney
for
boulder
county
attorney's
office,
where
I
focus
on
human
services
issues
and
I'm
here
today
because
of
the
very
tricky
and
oftentimes
frustrating
issue
of
confidentiality
regarding
benefits,
records
and
human
services
records
for
those
in
our
community.
Z
The
restrictions
include
county
child
protection,
records,
county
child
support
enforcement,
records,
county,
adult
protection,
services
and
county
benefit
and
subsidy
records,
and
these
laws
are
scattered
all
across
our
our
civil
codes,
our
regulations
and
our
our
legal
statutes,
and
they
can
be,
they
can
be
extremely
frustrating,
but
there's
a
really
good
reason
for
these
strict
confidentiality
rules,
though
it's
unfortunate
the
reality
of
society
today
is
that
it
places
great
stigma
and
prejudice
on
those
who
receive
social
services,
benefits
and
support.
Z
Many
reporting
parties
would
hesitate
or
not
make
reports
of
suspected
abuse
if
there
were
concerns
that
the
names
and
the
details
and
information
regarding
persons
about
whom
they
are
making
the
report
were
available
to
the
public,
and
so
disclosure
of
the
information
creates
essentially
a
disincentive
for
for
on
people
to
make
necessary
reports
to
help
those
who
are
vulnerable
in
our
community.
Z
I
there
there's
numerous
laws,
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
each
individual
one.
You
would
all
be
asleep,
but
I
did
want
to
put
to
your
attention.
One
law
in
particular
is
that
county
departments
are
required
to
apply
the
confidentiality
laws
equally
to
groups
or
individuals
such
as
legislators,
governmental
authorities,
the
courts,
law
enforcement
officials
in
some
contexts,
even
county
commissioners,
in
some
contexts
and
violating
the
confidentiality
rules
in
statute
is
serious.
Z
It
they
can
result
in
criminal
prosecution
for
either
the
person
requesting
the
confidential
information
or
for
the
agency
employee
who
supplies
it.
It
is
a
misdemeanor
to
improperly
release
inform
confidential
information,
so
that
makes
this
all
the
more
frustrating,
because
I
know
that
this
community
really
wants
to
serve
members
of
its
public
and
and
know
when
and
to
know
when
there
needs
to
be
different
services
in
place
or
different
policies
in
place
to
help
especially
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
community.
Z
That
team
does
create,
does
get
access
to
these
records.
They
can
get
access
from
records
from
the
coroner
and
hospitals
and
human
services
and
law
enforcement,
and
they
are
charged
with
creating
a
report
to
find
out
if
there
were,
if
there
is
any
means
by
which
any
child
fatalities
could
be
prevented,
and
they
also
provide
information
from
that
report
to
state
child
fatality
review
teams,
which
in
turn
then
provides
information
to
the
state
legislature
and
the
governor's
office.
Z
But
I
wanted
to
let
you
guys
know
the
background
as
to
why
it
is
oftentimes
difficult
to
disperse
or
or
just
let
anyone
have
information
that
people
feel
that
they
need
to
have
in
order
to
do
their
jobs.
Z
It
can
be
frustrating,
but
there
is
a
good
reason
behind
it.
So
that's
the
background
with
regard
to
confidentiality
of
people
receiving
benefits,
people
involved
with
human
services,
adult
protective
services,
child
protective
services,
there's
other
laws
with
regard
to
law
enforcement,
which
I
believe
ms
lanes
is
going
to
talk
about.
But
that's
with
regard
to
services
is
the
information
that
I've
just
provided.
Y
Thank
you
so
much
gene
appreciate
your
time
here
tonight.
Thank
you
very
much.
Do
any
council
members
have
any
questions
for
gene.
D
Thank
you
so
much.
Miss
banger
really
appreciate
you
being
here
tonight
giving
us
that
information
and
I'm
also
glad
to
hear
the
about
the
child
services.
The
fatality
review
board,
because
that
was
going
to
be
one
of
my
questions,
is.
O
D
B
D
Hear
that
that
is
underway-
and
I
I
I
don't
know
if
this
question
that
I
have
is
for
you
or
some
other
member
of
our
city
staff,
but
when
the
death
was
first
announced
of
the
we
later
learned
to
be
the
the
mother,
there
was
no
mention
of
a
newborn.
D
Z
So
the
laws
that
I'm
talking
about
and
I'm
referring
to
are
the
laws
regarding
what
services
people
have
received.
It's
not
with
regard
to
what
information
can
be
provided
from
law
enforcement
or
or
deaths
in
general
to
the
public.
So
with
regard
to
child.
Z
So
your
question
really
refers
to
something
outside
of
you
know
what
benefits
someone
has
received
and
what
services
someone
has
received.
Y
Y
Governs
ccjra
applies
only
to
records
kept
by
criminal
justice
agencies
such
as
the
boulder
police
department.
All
other
disclosure
of
records
kept
by
the
city
are
governed
governed
by
the
colorado
open
records
act.
Ccjra
allows
for
more
discretion
than
the
colorado
open
records
act
as
criminal
justice
records
are
more
sensitive
than
records
of
city.
Business
ccjra
allows
criminal
justice
agencies
to
withhold
records
that
are
not
quote
unquote.
Official
action
if
releasing
would
be
contrary
to
public
interest.
Y
Y
Y
Y
Y
Y
Additionally,
one
of
the
factors
the
custodian
weighs
is
the
privacy
interests
of
the
individual
who,
who
would
be
impacted
by
the
release
of
the
information.
In
this
case,
the
family
of
ms
aldana
has
requested
the
information
of
her
life
circumstances
or
death
remain
confidential
because
of
the
impact
that
releasing
the
records
will
have
on
the
grieving
family.
Y
So
for
all
of
those
reasons,
the
information
well,
the
police
department
has
received
several
requests
for
information
related
to
this
case
and
in
each
of
those
circumstances
those
requests
have
been
denied.
Does
council
have
any
questions.
D
Erin
thanks
for
that
sandra
that's
helpful.
I
sent
my
question
from
before
stands,
which
was
not
about
the
release
of
criminal
records,
but
why
it
was
not
made
public
that
there
was
a
death
of
a
newborn
along
with
the
death
of
the
mother,
because
I'll
just
say
that,
to
my
lay
understanding
of
things
it
seems
like
when
there
are
deaths
in
in
public,
like
on
the
someone
falls
from
in
el
dorado
springs,
for
example,
that
that
information
is
made
made
public.
So,
and
so
I
was
deceased
and
here
was
their
name.
Y
D
Okay,
well
maybe
we
could
get
some
follow-up
information
on
that,
because
I
think
there
are
a
number
of
folks
in
the
community
that
were
concerned
about
why
kind
of
the
significant
significance
of
the
end
wasn't
made
known
to
the
public.
Z
There
is
one
one
just
matter
I
I
think
to
follow
up
on
that
might
go
to
your
question.
Councilman
is
once
information
is
released,
it
can't
be
taken
back,
and
so
I
do
think
that
sometimes-
and
I'm
just
speaking
in
generalities
not
with
specificity
here,
but
entities
tend
to
err
on
the
side
of
caution,
because
not
knowing.
Z
Yet
if
it's
going
to
be
important
for
an
investigation
or
or
not
important,
for
an
investigation,
because
if
information
is
released
prematurely,
then
they
could
unwittingly
be
in
violation
of
a
statute
without
intending
to
have
been
in
violation
of
the
statute.
I'm
just
again.
I
know
that
this
is
unsatisfying.
Z
I
know
it
is
frustrating
I'm
just
putting
the
reality
of
what
the
laws
are
out
there
and
what
what
our
different
agencies
are.
Dealing
with
in
deciding
about
release
of
information.
B
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
for
that
mary
and
then
rachel
mary.
X
Thank
you,
dean
and
sandra
for
those
presentations,
one
of
the
things
that
has
come
up
and
what
entered
my
mind
as
well
when
this
occurred
was
to
help
in
order
to
help
the
city
become
informed
about
what
gaps
and
services
or
city
the
city
or
the
state
or
whatever
jurisdiction.
X
Z
I
I
might
be
able
to
speak
to
that,
and
it
goes
back
to
the
local
child
fatality
review
team
that
has
specific
requirements
in
place
as
far
as
what
records
they
are
to
obtain
from
from
with
sources.
I
think
I
said
earlier.
It
includes
law
enforcement,
coroner
records,
hospital
records,
human
services
records.
They
are
specifically
allowed
to
obtain
those
records
and
they're
charged
under
statute
with
evaluating
the
means
by
which
the
fatality
may
have
been
preventing
and
reporting.
Z
Those
case
review
findings
as
appropriate
to
public
and
private
agencies
that
have
responsibilities
for
children
and
also
to
make
recommendations
to
agencies,
including
state
child
fatality
review
teams
who,
in
turn
then
provide
the
information
to
the
legislature,
but
the
system
that
is
in
place
with
these
fatality
review
teams,
both
the
local
child,
fatality
review
team
and
then
in
turn,
the
state
child
fatality
review
team
is
so
that
these
issues
are
investigated
in
a
systematic,
careful
way,
getting
all
the
information
that
is
needed,
as
opposed
to
just
having
partial
information.
Z
So,
for
example,
if
if
council
here
had
some
information,
but
not
all
information
it
it,
it
could
go
it
could
it.
It
could
be
unhelpful
actually
for
the
council
to
be
recommending
certain
services
if
they
don't
have
the
full
story.
That's
why
the
local
child
fatality
review
teams
are
in
place.
Z
Z
So
that's
that
is
how
it
is
set
up
through
the
statute.
I'm
not
saying
that
that
is
a
perfect
system,
I'm
just
explaining
what
the
law
has
in
place
right
now
in
order
to
address
some
of
those
concerns.
X
Thank
you
gene.
I
just
have
a
quick
follow-up,
and
that
is
in
this
particular
case,
where
the
death
involved,
the
death
of
a
child
as
well.
This
case
would
also
involve
the
death
of
an
adult,
and
you
only
mentioned
the
child
services
or
the
child
fatalities
reviews.
Y
So
I
can
try
and
address
that
question,
because
I
think
it
really
comes
back
to
the
criminal
justice
records
act
and-
and,
as
I
mentioned,
whenever,
there's
an
ongoing
investigation,
there's
information
that
can't
be
released
because
the
police
have
to
do
their
investigation
and
take
the
time,
that's
appropriate.
To
do
that.
However,
long
that
that
takes.
Y
There
is
also
some
laws
related
to
the
coroner's
report
and
the
fact
that
they
are
not
allowed
to
even
after
the
report
or
the
coroner's
department,
finalizes
the
autopsy
report
and
is
then
subject
to
quora.
There
are
even
then
restrictions
related
to
what
information
they
can
release.
Y
For
example,
there
might
be
medical
information
that
can't
be
you
know
shared
and
that
sort
of
thing
and
other
confidentiality
issues
related
to
hipaa.
So
I
think
that
the
the
information
related
to
the
adult
would
still
go
back
to
the
criminal
justice
records
act
and
the
laws
that
apply
in
that
area.
X
And
so,
and
so
how
would
you
mentioned
mostly
information
that
would
be
kept
confidential
and
what,
if
some
of
that
confidential
information
actually
has
or
or
provides
some
insight
into
how
you
can
improve
services
or
where
there
are
big
gaps?
Y
It's
a
delicate
balance.
I
think
that
there
would
be
some
information
that
would
be
be
able
to
release
once
the
investigation
was
complete
and
those
records
would
be
available
and
no
longer
under
the
hold
of
the
criminal
justice
records
act.
But
I
think
that
there's
no
good
answer
to
your
question.
Honestly.
I
think
that
we
have
to
abide
by
the
confidentiality
laws
that
are
in
place
and
if
there
are
some
overlapping
restrictions
related
to
social
services
as
gene
mentioned,
then
the
city
also
needs
to
comply
with
those
laws.
B
Could
I
call
a
queen,
so
I
think,
of
course,
what
we're
driving
at
here
is
how
we
find
out
what's
actionable
and
improve
the
system
in
the
future,
and
so
I
I
would
just
ask
what
role
do
confidential
memos
play,
so
we
have
gotten
confidential
memos
that
disclose
to
us
more
details
of
different
situations
than
can
be
put
out
publicly,
but
I
think
what
mary's
chasing
after
and
what
I'm
interested
in
is:
how
do
we
find
out
what
the
gaps
are
and
how
do
we
use
the
events
to
track
down
the
gaps,
and
so,
if
you
can't
disclose
publicly
what
was
found,
is
it
possible
to
give
policy
makers
details
under
confidential
and
then
let
the
policymakers
bring
forward
policy
changes?
B
P
So
if
I
may
I'll
take
a
stab
at
it,
unless
our
attorney
hits
me
under
the
table,
but
I'll
say
this
that,
in
terms
of
that,
I
understand
the
question
in
terms
of
how
do
we
actually
gather?
P
How
do
we
learn
from
this,
and
what
I
can
comment
and
say
to
you
is
that
we're
actually
going
to
continue
to
talk
both
with
our
hhs
partners,
our
county
public
health
partners,
the
coroner's
office,
our
city
attorneys,
our
police
departments,
to
figure
out
where
are,
if
any,
are
those
gaps,
and
how
do
we
bring
those
forward?
And
how
do
we
address
those,
and
certainly
the
role
of
confidential
memos
is
precisely
that
to
bring
you
information.
P
So
we
will
continue
to
work
with
our
partners
to
figure
out
what,
if
anything,
we
could
do
to
shore
up
whatever
gaps
there
may
be
in
the
future,
whether
it
is
children
or
it
is
adults.
We
want
to
do
all
that.
We
can
to
learn
from
tragic
situations
like
this
and
then
the
other
thing
I'll
say
too,
is
that
at
a
very
high
level.
P
P
But
what
is
said
in
that
moment
may
be
different
as
an
investigation
evolves
and
then
that
perhaps
has
turned
to
the
coroner's
office
for
further
investigation
and
as
we
continue
to
move
forward
in
the
investigation,
whether
that
moves
from
criminal
to
now
pending
a
coroner's
report
or
if
there
is
a
coroner's
report
in
the
future
and
again,
I'm
trying
very
hard
to
not
speak
about
this
case.
In
particular,
if
there
were
a
report
that
were
to
come
back.
That
was
unusual
and
then
that
opened
the
case
again
for
criminal
investigation.
P
X
Yeah,
that's
very
helpful
nuria.
Thank
you.
I
have
a
follow-up
to
the
follow-up,
so
in
we
talked
about
how
all
of
these
current
laws
may
or
may
not
inhibit
the
identification
of
gaps.
So
how?
X
How
does
one
identify
the
or
what
process
is
there
to
identify
any
kind
of
flaw?
I
guess
or
or
improvement
that
could
be
made
on
those
confidential
confidentiality
laws
themselves,
so
so,
in
other
words,
it
would
go
to
a
different.
It
would
go
like
to
state
legislators
to
be
able
to
change
those
kinds
of
laws.
So
how
are
potential
changes
in
those
statutes
identified.
P
I
know
that
that
is
different
states
have
different
laws
and
what
that
looks
like
and
what
I
would
say
and
suggest
is
that
as
those
are
found
internally-
and
I
don't
know
if
we
still
have
our
county
partner
on
the
line
but
internally,
I
suspect
that
whatever
is
discovered,
there
then
moves
up
if
there
is
something
to
shore
up,
whether
that
is
on
a
local
level
or
whether
that
is
at
a
state
level
to
change
those
laws,
and
that
would
certainly
be
one
of
those
things
that
we
perhaps
would
bring
to
you
all
and
your
attention
that
we
would
think
about
how
to
bring
to
our
lawmakers
at
the
state
level
and
there's
not
a
great
response,
because
we
are
not
in
part
of
those
confidential
conversations.
P
B
E
Thanks
sam
and
thanks
for
asking
the
questions
about
the
gaps
and
how
we
will
get
answers,
I
really
appreciate
that.
So
I
I
have
noticed
that
everybody's
sort
of
avoiding
saying
the
individual's
name
who
passed
away,
and
I
assume
that
that's
out
of
respect
for
the
family's
preferences,
but
so
I
will
just
use
her
first
name
and
hope
that
that's
okay,
I
did
want
to
just
express
deep
control,
condolences
to
the
family
and
friends
of
jessica
and
the
community
who
who
may
be
watching
and
grieving
as
well.
E
So
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
as
a
council
and
express
our
condolences,
and
then
I
do
have.
A
couple
of
questions.
First
is
on
the
city
side.
This
feels
a
little
bit
to
me
like
we're.
Circling
around
a
question
of
sort
of
transparency,
meeting,
equity
considerations
and
we
had
an
unhoused
vulnerable
individual
pass
away
outside
with
either
a
newborn
or
stillborn
infant
and
and
it
wasn't
released
and
I'm
hearing
the
explanations.
E
But
I
also
feel
like
during
my
own
tenure
on
council,
like
if
there's
a
stabbing,
we
get
that
information
out
pretty
quickly
and
we'll
say
you
know
there
was
a
stabbing.
Two
individuals
were
involved
or
whatever
and
we
don't
circle
around
the
the
the
privacy
and
criminal
justice
considerations-
and
I
understand
this
is
an
ongoing
investigation,
but
a
stabbing
would
also
be-
or
you
know,
anytime,
there's
a
crime
in
the
community.
E
So
I'm
struggling
with
why
this
particular
situation,
there's
such
a
lack
of
transparency
and
and
especially
like
if,
if
an
unhoused
individual
is
a
perpetrator
in
a
crime
with
that
that
information
seems
to
get
out
very
quickly
and
you
have
an
unhoused
individual
who
is
deceased
along
with
the
newborn
and
we're
really
kind
of
circling
the
wagons
around
that
information,
and
I'm
just
struggling
to
make
sense
of
why
this
is
such
a
disparate
situation.
So
I
don't
know
if
anybody
can
speak
to
that.
B
P
I
appreciate
that
because
I
can't
see
kurt
myself
I'll
say
that.
P
I
I
appreciate
the
struggle
right.
How
do
we
think
about
how
do
we
share
out
information.
P
I
think
how
we
treat
again
on
a
general
level,
how
we
treat
calls
that
come
in
that
are
active
criminal
investigations
when
there
is
an
accident
on
the
street
when
there
is
a
homicide,
and
we
are
looking
for
witnesses
and
treating
it
as
an
act
of
criminal
investigation.
P
B
A
curtain
and
just
see
what
you
wanted
to
sorry
about
that
it's
a
little
confusing
with
this
hybrid
thing,
kurt
fernhuber.
I
see
that
you're
in
the
meeting
and
hopefully
you
can
get
put
up
on
the
screen
and
you
had
your
hand
raised.
AA
Yeah,
thank
you
sam.
I
can't
seem
to
to
turn
my
video
on
for
some
reason,
but
hopefully
you
can
hear
me.
Okay,
we.
AA
Yeah,
so
I
wanted
to
res
to
respond
and
add
a
little
bit
more
to
mary
young's
question
about.
You
know
looking
at
gaps
in
the
in
the
system
and
that's
one
of
the
real
purposes
that
homeless
solutions
for
boulder
county
was
set
up.
We
have,
while
we
won't
look
necessarily
always
at
individual
situations,
where
we'll
look
at
trends
or
things
that
we're
seeing
and
those
are
brought
to
the
executive
that
meets
on
a
monthly
basis,
to
really
look
at
areas
to
improve
services
and
fill
those
gaps.
I'll
get
I'll.
AA
Just
give
one
example
what
that
looks
like,
and
you
recently
had
a
presentation
from
judge
cook
and
one
of
the
challenges
that
they
were
having
with
their
navigators
and
working
with
individuals
that
had
interfaced
with
the
criminal
justice
system
is
when
they're
ready
to
get
individuals
housed.
They
sometimes
couldn't
find
them,
and
it
took
some
time
to
find
them.
AA
They
would
lose
clients
in
the
process,
and
so
she
was
able
to
get
funding
to
fill
that
gap
to
put
individuals
who
are
on
that
track
straight
into
hotels,
support
them
in
hotels
until
they
got
into
a
housing
solution.
So
there's
many
gaps
that
are
out
there
and
sort
of
the
purpose
of
homeless.
Solutions
for
boulder
county
is
to
identify
them
to
change
our
programs
over
time
and
in
some
places
even
start
new
programs.
AA
But
it's
an
ongoing
conversation.
What
we
hear
from
service
providers
and
the
individuals
who
are
doing
that
work
on
the
field
and,
if
they're
on
a
every
day,
to
understand
how
to
change
for
that,
and
I'm
glad
that
we
have
a
system
in
place
to
to
look
at
those
specific
services
that
are
completed
not
just
by
hhs
at
the
county,
but
also
our
service
providers
that
work
in
the
community.
B
Thank
you,
kurt
rachel.
E
Thanks,
I
had
a
couple
more
questions.
I
guess
on
on
the
transparency
front.
So
when
I
first
read
about
this,
I
went
to
the
website
that
used
to
have
our
our
call
log
and
police
bladder,
and
it's
it's
not
there
anymore,
and
so
that
just
concerned
me
that
maybe
we
don't
have
as
much
information
available
to
journalists
and
the
public
as
we
used
to.
So
I
wanted
to
know
when
that
got
taken
down
or
if
that's
going
back
up
or
why.
I
can't
see
what
calls
came
in.
P
So
I
appreciate
that
question
because
I've
learned
a
lot
about
the
blotter
now
that
I've
been
here
and
been
asking.
So
I,
if
I'm
gonna,
pull
up
some
notes
here
about
it.
But
my
understanding
is
that,
prior
to
2020,
the
police
department
had
a
blotter.
It
was
a
word
document.
P
Many
people
were
able
to
access
and
input
data
into
that
document,
so
there
was
perhaps
some
lack
of
inconsistency
depending
on
who
put
more
information
or
less
information
out
there.
As
that
move
forward.
It
was
also
an
extremely
manual
process,
and
so
that
took
a
variety
of
hours,
just
to
compile
and
put
out
and
did
not
perhaps
include
all
the
calls
that
came
in.
P
So
actually,
I
believe
that
it
was
an
effort
to
increase
transparency
than
not
the
blotter
then
was
kind
of
unnecessary
as
it
was
sort
of
a
flawed
document
by
itself
and
because
it
was
time
consuming
in
the
beginning
of
2021,
when
resources
became
scarce
that
was
eliminated
because
we
had
this
other
tool.
P
I
believe
it
is
data
and
it
would
show
whether
it
was
what
type
of
call
in
so,
for
example,
if
it
was
a
medical
call,
it
would
be
there
and
it
would
occur
on
that
date,
and
certainly
anyone
interested
could
take
a
look
at
that
call
dog
for
any
call
data
that
we
have
and
request
more
information
based
on
that,
and
then
it
would
still
go
to
the
city
attorneys
to
see
if
that
was
something
we
could
disseminate
or
not
disseminate.
E
So
my
my
concern
is
that
if
somebody
saw
that
data
somehow
and
was
able
to
extrapolate
from
it
that
there
were
two
deaths
that
night,
we
wouldn't
give
any
more
information
because
we're
not
giving
much
more
information
it
sort
of
feels
like
in
this
situation.
It
was
almost
an
accidental
release
of
information
or
a
press
leak.
Perhaps
so
I'm
I
guess
if
it's,
if
it's
just
data
and
there's
no
narrative
to
it,
I
don't
know
if,
if
our
answer
is
we're
not
giving
more
information,
it
still
feels
like
a
loss
of
transparency.
B
B
E
D
A
C
D
I
B
Excellent.
Thank
you
very
much
and
I
believe
the
last
item
is
matters
for
mayor
and
members
of
council,
so
I
will
take
that
one
first
tonight
we
have
mayor
and
mayor
pro
tem
statements
of
interest.
These
are
not
intended
to
be
speeches
or
anything
of
the
sort
they're
just
indications
of
interest.
B
We've
tried
to
make
sure
to
be
careful
to
include
council
members
elect
as
well
so
that
they
know
that
tonight
the
rules
are
that
we
anyone
who
would
like
to
be
the
next
mayor
or
mayor
pro
tem
needs
to
put
an
announcement
out
on
hotline
by
midnight
tonight,
which
says
that
I
think
everyone
on
the
current
council
and
all
the
incoming
council
members
know
this.
We
have
seen
a
few
hotlines,
but
at
this
point
any
council
members
like
to
indicate
your
interest
in
being
the
next
mayor.
G
Bob
well
sam
said
we
in
the
old
days
we
used
to
give
long
speeches
and
then
people
realized
that
was
pretty
boring,
and
so
a
few
years
ago,
council
adopted
a
rule
that
says
just
put
it
up
on
hotline,
which
is
our
for
those
in
the
community.
G
That's
our
communications
tool
that
everyone
can
see
and
and
so
so
far
I
know
the
deadlines
is
not
until
midnight
tonight,
but
so
far
I
think
aaron
and
I
have
both
done
hotline
posts
indicating
a
desire
to
be
mayor
and
erin
might
want
to
say
something
in
a
minute
and
then
rachel
is
indicated
interested
in
elected
as
mayor
pro
tem
for
the
community.
This
will
be
the
last
council
election
glass
council
appointment
of
mayor
mayor
pro
tem.
G
I
think
mayor
pro
temple's
to
be
a
council
appointment,
but
starting
in
2023,
the
mayor
will
be
directed
elected
directly
by
the
people.
G
So
I
I
won't
give
a
speech,
but
I
just
want
to
make
an
observation.
I
think
aaron
did
in
his
hotline
post,
which
is
it's
really
really
difficult
to
write
things
about
yourself,
right
aaron.
You
know
we
want
to
put
out
your
best
foot
and
say
well.
This
is
this
is
why
I
think
I'd
be
a
good
mayor,
but
then
you
get
you
lose
your
humility
pretty
quickly,
and
so
it's
an
awkward
thing
to
do
so.
I
just
want
to
make
one
comment:
I've
known
aaron
for
10
years.
G
He
and
I
have
served
on
various
organizations
before
we
each
joined
council
in
2015
and
each
got
elected
in
2019,
and
sometimes
when
you
have
a
head-to-head
competitive
election
involving
two
people
or
multiple
people,
you
think
well,
geez,
I'm
better
than
that
other
person
or
I'll
do
a
better
job
than
that
other
person.
That
is
not
the
case
here.
G
Aaron
is
a
person
of
integrity
of
wisdom,
of
honesty,
courage
of
compassion,
and
I
think
this
community
would
be
well
served
by
either
aaron
or
I
being
elected
and
and
he's
told
me
the
same
thing,
and
I
really
appreciate
that
as
well,
and
so
I
would
say
to
the
council
members
here,
president,
who
will
be
voting
next
week
and
our
new
colleagues
who
will
be
joining
us
next
week
in
voting,
choose
as
you
wish.
But
you
can't
go
wrong.
Thank
you.
D
Yeah
thanks
so
much
for
that
that
bob
that
was
very
kind,
and
yes,
it
is
awkward
writing
positive
things
about
yourself.
I
found
that
very
uncomfortable.
It
took
me
a
long
time
to
get
those
words
out
on
hotline,
but
bob
your
hotline
post
was
excellent
and
your
qualifications
are
numerous.
G
D
I
agree
the
community
will
be
well
served.
D
Whichever
of
us
is
appointed
mayor
by
our
colleagues,
and
I
look
forward
to
working
together
closely
along
with
the
rest
of
council,
regardless
of
how
that
goes
and
I'll
just
say
that
one
thing
that
I've
appreciated
about
this
council
is
that,
through
a
lot
of
difficult
issues,
we
have
worked
together
generally
very
productively,
and
you
have
not
seen
the
negativity
that
you
often
see
at
the
state
and
national
level
in
the
political
scene,
and
I
feel
confident
that
in
the
next
council
that
the
mayor,
whether
it's
bob
or
myself,
will
show
that
form
of
leadership
will
continue
to
productively
work
on
the
many
issues
that
face
our
community
without
that
kind
of
vitriol
that
we
see
at
other
levels
of
government.
B
And
as
the
current
mayor
for
another
week,
or
so
I
will
say
that
I
agree,
having
worked
closely
with
both
bob
and
aaron,
that
either
of
them
would
make
a
fine
mayor,
and
so
I
think
the
city,
council
and
the
city
will
be
in
great
hands
with
either
of
them
new
newly
elected
council
members,
if
you
want
to
stand
for
mayor,
you've,
got
about
four
hours
to
put
out
a
hotline.
Otherwise
these
will
be
your
candidates
with
that.
B
E
Thanks
sam
and
to
bob
and
aaron
you'll
have
big
shoes
to
fill
so
good
luck.
Yeah.
I
was
told
no
speeches.
I
am
interested
in
standing
for
mayor
pro
tem,
so
I
would
just
direct
the
community
to
my
hotline
post.
If
you
are
interested
in
reading
that
thanks.
B
B
Okay,
with
that,
we
can
move
on
to
the
last
item.
This
was
a
suggestion
by
bob
yates
that
we,
as
the
sitting
council,
go
over
the
council
committees,
both
the
internal
and
the
external
facing
council
committees.
B
The
the
goal
of
this
is
to
just
make
sure
that
everyone
on
the
who's
continuing
on
this
council
and
the
newly
elected
council
members
coming
in
have
an
idea
of
what
these
committees
do
and
what
the
assignments
are
who's
on
them,
who's
going
off,
and
often
this
takes
a
good
hour
hour
and
a
half
at
the
retreat,
and
one
of
the
ideas
here,
I
believe
in
the
next
council-
is
to
get
these
assignments
done
outside
of
the
retreat
to
leave
more
room
to
talk
about
the
work
plan.
B
So
with
that
I
don't
know,
does
staff
have
a
slide
for
this,
or
shall
I
just
walk
through?
No,
let
me
see
if
I've
got
my
committee
list
here.
D
O
P
As
we
as
we
work
on
it-
and
I
I
just
thought
that
we
were
just
going
to
talk
about
it,
but
we're
working
to
put
that
up,
but
if
I
can
feel
a
little
bit
of
the
awkward
silence
and
just
say
something
I
was
going
to
say
at
the
end
of
the
meeting,
but
I
just
want
to
shout
out
to
staff
that
made
this
meeting
happen
as
a
hybrid
meeting.
P
There
are
a
lot
of
staff
that
are
not
in
this
room,
some
in
this
room
that
are
great
and
some
that
you
can't
see
because
they're
behind
the
cameras
are
helping
on
a
variety
of
issues,
and
so
we
just
thank
you
for
letting
us
sort
of
do
this
trial
run
hybrid
meeting
as
we
move
forward.
I
know
we
will
be
back
in
chambers
again
next
week
on
november
16th.
As
we
talk
about.
A
P
Just
huge
thanks
to
staff
that
made
this
happen.
It
really
is
tremendous.
B
Yeah,
thank
you
staff
for
that,
and
I
I
will
just
say
that
this
is
not
that
easy
to
coordinate.
The
hybrid
is
new.
We've
done
all
zoom,
we've
done
all
in
person,
and
so
this
is
new.
I
also
have
a
question
about
that.
Nuria.
Well,
we're
we're
here.
Speaking
of
next
week.
Where
will
the
swearing-in
be?
I
know
that
the
actual
meeting
at
six
o'clock
will
be
here.
Will
we
do
the
soaring
in
and
chambers
as
well?
Yes,.
P
B
Okay,
so
next
week
for
those
who
are
interested
in
the
community
at
10
a.m,
on
november
16th
we'll
meet
here
in
chambers,
and
we
will
do
the
swearing-in
ceremony
for
the
newly
elected
council
members
and
then
at
the
end
of
the
swearing-in
ceremony.
The
meeting
will
be
continued
until
that
evening
and
the
new
council
will
be
seated
that
evening
at
six
o'clock
here
in
chambers,
so
the
on
the
16th
at
10.
This
council
will
convene
swearing.
B
B
So,
let's
just
start
going
down
through
the
lists-
and
I
will
have
folks
who
are
here
talk
about
it
nearby.
Would
you
like
to
tell
us
anything
about
the
rocky
mountain
greenway
steering
committee.
W
I
I
wish
I
could
see
him,
but
there's
unfortunately,
nothing
to
tell
okay.
I
have
any
meetings
haven't
heard
much
so
yeah.
I
guess
an
easy
one
right.
B
In
a
sense,
yeah
so
I'll
just
say
the
rocky
mountain
greenway,
it's
a
federally
funded
program
intended
to
create
trail
systems
that
go
from
airports
through
government-owned
facilities
to
national
parks.
The
rocky
mountain
greenway
is
intended
to
go
from
dia
rocky
mountain
arsenal
to
rocky
flats
and
then
up
to
rocky
mountain
national
park.
B
E
B
E
P
Yes,
so
I
apologize,
we
have
legal
who
is
looking
into
that
and
actually
compiling
that
list
with
what
is
discretionary,
what
is
mandatory,
what
is
legally
required
and
what,
frankly,
you
can
choose
what
not
to
do,
and
I
just
want
to
say
also.
P
We
have
carl
castillo
on
the
line
if
there
were
any
questions,
but
for
today
my
understanding
was
that
we
would
just
talk
generally
about
the
time
commitments
it
would
take
and
what
kind
of
what
kind
of
a
commitment
and
what
is
the
vision
for
those
organizations
so
that
when
we
do
have
that
conversation
with
the
new
council
soon
that
we
can
then
talk
about
what
you
want
to
keep.
And
what
do
you
not
want
to
participate
in.
B
Super-
and
this
is
one
that
sounds
very
discretionary
and
with
that
adam.
U
Yeah,
the
boulder
county
consortium
of
cities-
it's
a
once
a
month
meeting
generally
two
hours
long,
it
is
run
by
one
of
the
boulder
county
commissioners,
currently
martel
lochiman,
and
they
send
the
entire
meeting.
Is
each
city
in
boulder
county
and
broomfield
sends
one
elected
official
to
sort
of
just
information,
collect
and
share
out
information
about
current
issues
that
the
cities
kind
of
share.
So
we
can
learn
from
each
other
and
help
each
other
out,
and
it's
a
really
good
place
to
work
together
on
collaborative
county-wide,
plus
broomfield
efforts.
U
B
Mark
do
you
have
anything
to
add
no
okay,
and
I
will
say
that
this
is
one
of
the
interlocking
set
of
committees
that
are
involved
with
transportation,
and
so
there
may
be
a
fair
bit
of
work
coming
on
this
one,
just
because
we
have
some
more
money
coming
into
the
county
right
now,
the
colorado
municipal
league
policy
committee.
I
can
speak
on
this
one.
It's
been
one
that
I've
been
on.
I
think,
four
years
now
carl
helps
guide
the
council
members.
This
one
definitely
needs
council
members
on
it.
B
B
There
will
be
a
midterm
meeting
and
then
there's
three
that
are
associated
with
the
legislative
session,
usually
one
in
october,
one
in
december
to
kind
of
tee
up,
statewide
positions
of
cml
for
the
coming
legislative
session
to
begin
lobbying
and
then
there's
usually
a
meeting
in
february
or
so
which
talks
about
the
current
status
of
bills.
So,
if
you're
a
politically
inclined
person
and
you
like
state
politics,
this
is
a
great
position
and
I
think
juni
is
interested
in
continuing
with
that.
O
Yes,
so
boulder,
because
it's
a
city
of
over
a
hundred
thousand
is
entitled
to
have
two
representatives
and
an
alternate.
So
right
now
you
have
two
elected
officials,
as
your
representatives
and
I
am
serving
as
the
staff
alternate.
B
And
I
will
just
say
that
this
group
used
to
be
a
fairly
conservative
group
and
in
the
last
two
to
three
years
it
has
really
changed.
There
was
unanimous
support
from
the
policy
committee,
for
instance,
to
lift
the
120
rule
on
the
solar
installations.
So
anyway,
it's
a
good
group
and
with
that
aaron,
you
want
to
talk
about
dr
cog.
D
Yeah
denver
regional
council
of
governments.
This
is
a
group
that
meets
in
denver
twice
a
month.
It's
been
remote
during
the
pandemic,
but
it's
going
back
in
person
before
too
long,
so
there's
a
business
meeting
two
to
three
hours,
long
and
then
a
kind
of
a
study
session.
D
That's
more
two
hours
long
and
it's
the
body,
that's
responsible
for
the
distribution
of
federal
transportation
dollars
to
the
region,
so
kind
of
a
big
deal,
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
at
stake
over
the
course
of
a
few
years,
and
it's
also
been
tasked
with
distributing
some
of
the
state
transportation
funding.
That's
been
flowing
the
last
few
years,
so
there's
been
some
additional
monies
coming
in
through
there
and
now
we've
got
more
money
coming
in
from
the
infrastructure
bill
and
from
the
latest
state
transportation
bill.
D
So
a
lot
a
rare
case
where
we
have
more
money
than
usual.
So
it's
a
it's
a
pretty
heavy
lift,
there's
also
a
sub-regional
forum
where
boulder
county
representatives
just
meet
as
a
group
which
is
more
like
four
times
a
year
for
a
couple
of
hours,
so
but
fascinating,
really
interesting,
get
to
work
with
all
kinds
of
elected
officials
across
the
region
on
making
decisions
that
really
make
a
difference
in
in
our
area.
X
D
It's
well
it's
it's
6,
30
p.m
and
4
p.m.
Are
the
meetings
great
and
aaron.
B
Has
been
our
representative
there
for
what
three
four
years
now
six
six
years,
all
six
years
wow
and
has
has
carried
the
standard
quite
well
down
there.
So
thank
you
for
all
that
work,
aaron
and
then
metro
mayor's
caucus.
That's
pretty
obvious!
It's
a
mayor's
group
it!
It
has
focused
on
issues
of
regional
interest,
homelessness
and
transportation
and
climate
some
of
the
top
ones.
It
got
far
more
active
during
covet
I'll
just
put
out
there
whoever's
mayor
next.
This
group
is
in
flux.
B
One
of
the
things
that
I
tried
to
work
with
some
folks
to
bring
in
are
documents
which
live
beyond
a
a
group
of
mayors,
so
policy
documents
that
continue
on
forward
anyway,
whoever's
mayor
next,
I
would
suggest
that
this
is
an
important
one
to
be
going
to
national
league
of
cities.
Why
don't
I
turn
to
bob
bob?
Would
you
like
to
talk
about
that.
G
Sure
we
have
several
council
members
who
are
involved
in
national
league
of
cities
and
the
nice
thing
about
national
league
of
cities
is
it
operates
really
in
a
committee
format
and
there's
about
oh
eight
or
nine
federal
policy
committees
and
and
the
four
or
five
of
us
that
are
involved
in
that
are
each
serve
on
a
separate
policy
committee.
So
it
gives
us
opportunity
and
boulder
definitely
punches
above
its
weight
in
the
national
league
of
cities
for
a
city
of
a
hundred
thousand.
We
get
mayors
and
council
members
from
across
the
country.
G
I
think
the
conferences
are
usually
about
five
thousand
people
and
we
we
parade
in.
We
show
up
parachute
in
rather
with
with
four
or
five
or
six
people,
and
we've
had
leadership
roles
on
those
committees.
Matter
of
fact,
our
former
mayor
matt
applebaum,
was
on
the
board
of
directors
of
national
league
of
cities,
something
that
we
should
continue
to
do.
There
is
no
limit
to
a
number
of
council
members
who
can
attend
ash
league
of
city
conferences
or
to
serve
on
advocacy,
federal
advocacy
committees.
B
U
The
resource
conservation
advisory
board
is
another
boulder
county-based
board,
mainly
focusing
around
topics
of
conserving
resources,
so
recycling,
zero
waste
composting,
all
those
types
of
things
there's
a
member
from
several
cities
appointed
to
the
board.
U
Jamie
harkins
from
our
city
staff
often
does
almost
all
the
talking
for
me,
I'm
a
fly
on
the
wall,
because
that
is
not
my
area
of
expertise.
So
it's
a
relatively
light
lift,
but
it
is
an
important
one.
Just
so
happens
that
boulder
is
ahead
of
the
curve
with
a
lot
of
this
stuff.
So
that's
also
cool
to
be
in
the
room
hearing
about
all
the
things
that
we
do
so.
B
Good
board
yeah,
it
is
a
good
board
and,
let's
make
sure,
to
put
somebody
on
there,
who's
interested
in
the
recycling
and
materials
subject
and
then
rocky
flat
stewardship
council.
I've
been
on
this
for
three
years.
I
believe-
and
maybe
two
I
would
say
that
most
of
the
issues
on
this
are
not
as
relevant
as
maybe
they
once
were.
It
meets
six
times
a
year,
I
believe,
and
sometimes
those
conflict
with
cac.
In
fact,
usually
they
do
it's
monday,
usually
at
8
30
in
the
morning
I
would
suggest
to
the
new
council.
B
You
take
a
look
at
what
the
legal
requirements
are
in
this
one
and
maybe
if
staff
could
handle
it,
that
might
be
a
good
thing
and
then
next
one
northwest
mcc.
When
I
first
became
mayor,
suzanne
jones
told
me
sam,
you
must
go
to
these
meetings.
This
is
another
of
those
interlocking
transportation
committee
groups
and
so
whoever's.
The
next
mayor
really
needs
to
attend
these
in
person.
It
meets
every
month
and
usually
it's
an
hour
and
a
half
to
two
hours
and
very
meaty
transportation
topics
for
our
region,
commuting
solutions
nearby.
W
Yeah,
so
community
solutions
is
what
the
name
implies.
It's
working
on
different
solutions
of
mobility
across
the
front
range,
and
it
has
representatives
from
I
mean
rtd
a
lot.
I
mean
even
private
companies,
along
with
a
lot
of
members
from
other
surrounding
towns,
so
other
council
members
they'll,
be
even
I've,
been
at
some
of
the
meetings
where
our
state
representatives
have
shown
up
in.
Even
our
federal
representative
representatives
have
showed
up,
so
it
usually
met
like
once
a
month.
W
In
all
honesty,
I
haven't
heard
anything
since,
mostly
since
covid
there's
been
very
few
meeting
alerts
that
I've
received,
I've
talked
to
staff
and
I
haven't
received
much
so
I'm
not
exactly
sure
what
they're
doing.
A
W
B
G
Sure,
mile
high
flood
district
has
traditionally
been
represented
by
the
mayor
pro
tem
yeah,
the
the
my
high
flood
district,
meets
once
a
month
in
denver,
although
it's
been
remote
recently,
but
they
do
tend
to
meet
in
person
in
denver.
G
It's
a
little
like
doctor
cog
that
aaron
mentioned
in
that
the
mile
high
flood
district
is
a
taxing
district
and
it
has
tens
and
tens
of
millions
of
dollars
to
distribute
up
and
down
the
front
range
for
flood
control
projects
and
again
boulder
gets
a
disproportionate
amount
of
money,
and
that's
thanks
to
the
representation
we've
had
on
the
wildlife
flood
district
sam
served
on
that
mary
has
served
on
that.
Aaron
has
served
on
that.
I've
served
on
that.
Judy
is
now
serving
on
that
rachel
or
whoever's.
D
G
B
B
Occasionally
yep
and
so
then
we
have
state
highway,
119
and
seven
coalition
aaron.
Would
you
like
to
walk
us
through
that.
D
Yeah,
so
these
are
both
coalitions
that
are
working
on
multimodal
improvements
along
the
state,
highway,
119
state,
highway,
7
corridor,
119,
it's
going
from
boulder
to
longmont,
and
so
it's
the
executive
committee
is
city,
boulder,
boulder
county
city
of
longmont,
rtt,
director
and
cdot
director.
So
it's
really
interesting
meets
quarterly
and
that
quarter
is
moving
pretty
swiftly
towards
construction
and
making
huge
progress.
So
that's
really
interesting
and
then
state
highway.
7
is
a
broader
coalition.
D
A
D
B
Likes
transportation
with
that
we'll
turn
to
internal
city
committees,
so
those
were
all
external
facing
committees
now
we'll
turn
to
internal
committees.
First
one's
audit
committee
and
I'll
turn
to
mark
wallach.
V
Well,
the
audit
committee
is
basically
what
it
appears
to
be.
You
are
reviewing
the
audit
procedures
performed
by
our
auditor
and
ultimately,
the
audit
is
presented
to
the
council
for
its
approval.
I
wouldn't
call
it
a
particularly
heavy
lift,
but
there
are
documents
to
be
read
and
to
do
it
correctly,
you
do
have
to
have
some
degree
of
of
immersion
into
everyone's
favorite
topic,
which
is
financial.
O
V
So
it's
it's
for
those
who
are
looking
to
geek
out
on
numbers.
I
guess
because
there's
quite
a
lot
of
that,
but
it's
a
reasonable
lift
if
you're
interested
in
that.
A
B
W
Sure
so
I've
been
on
that
for
four
years
and
a
pretty
light
lift
it's
basically
just
working
with
another
council
member
and
meeting
if
there's
issues.
So
if
something
goes
wrong
with
the
board
or
if
board
members
have
any
issues
need
to
talk
to
you
or
it's
even
reappointing
members.
So
let's
say
you
know
people
jump
off
boards
because
they
move
for
other
reasons,
I'm
working
to
kind
of
go
over
applicants
and
whatnot
with
staff
to
resubmit
and
maybe
appoint
someone.
W
Before
the
next
year's
applications
go
in
again,
if
it's
within
the
six-month
time
frame
so
again
pretty
easy,
lift
you
just
work
with
another
council
number
and
you
meet
it's
mainly.
B
Great
thank
you
nearby
and
then
charter
and
elections
committee,
rachel.
B
E
Mary
and
mirabai
might
want
to
jump
in
because
they've
done
it
longer
than
me
and
we're
mentors
on
that.
So
this
is
this
committee
takes
up
when
city
council
decides
that
we
may
have
an
issue
with
the
charter
or
with
elections,
and
we
may
want
to
put
something
on
the
ballot
we
will
work
with
with
city
staff
and
city
attorney's
office
to
come
up
with
language.
That
city
council
will
then
look
at
and
hopefully
promote
to
the
ballot
for
the
voters
to
vote
on.
It's
been
my
experience.
X
So
it's
it's
it!
The
suggestions
for
charter
changes
can
come
from
council
members
and
can
come
from
city
staff
in
the
community
as
well.
So
the
the
suggestions
can
come
from
anywhere
for
the
changes.
It's
also
where
council
members
who
have
suggestions
for.
X
X
Issues
it's
ballot,
issues
that
council
members
want
to
bring
forward.
It
meets
about
three
times,
maybe
four
times,
and
it
begins.
The
first
meeting
is
sometime
around
first
quarter
and
meets
again
about
a
month
after
that
and
a
month
after
that,
and
then
you're
pretty
much
done
so
it's
kind
of
a
easy
lift.
B
And
I
would
say
this
is
quite
an
important
committee
and
we'll
only
have
one
continuing
council
member
on
it
and
I
think
the
coming
council
will
have
a
fair
number
of
charter
items
that
need
to
be
considered
and
and
work
through.
So
please
take
a
close
look
at
this.
It's
a
very
important
one
and
then
council
retreat
committee
bob.
G
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
serving
in
this
committee,
my
entire
six
years
on
council.
It's
it's
a
as
it
sounds.
It
really
plans
the
annual
retreat,
which
is
always
in
january
of
council
for
a
few
years.
It
was
mary
before
lisa.
G
And
I,
and
now
it's
adam
and
and
rachel-
and
I
planning
this
year's
retreat.
The
committee
meets
typically
about
four
to
six
times
in
the
fall
kind
of
right
around
that
we're
meeting
regularly
now
to
plan
the
retreat.
What
the
agenda
looks
like
working
with
a
facilitator
working
with
city
staff
to
ensure
that
our
retreat
and
it's
not
just
the
retreat.
It's
also
the
things
like
what
we're
talking
about
tonight.
G
Our
pre-retreat
exercises
are
well
organized
so
that
we
get
the
work
done
in
november
and
december
and
then
at
the
retreat
in
january,
so
that
we
can
develop
a
workable
two-year
work
plan.
B
Great,
thank
you
bob
and
then
next
we
have
the
council
employee
evaluation
committee.
I
guess
I'll
take
this
one,
because
I've
been
on
it
the
longest,
but
that
is
to
say
not
very
long.
I
think
I've
been
in
charge
of
two
and
then
covet
hit
not
in
charge
of
working
on
two.
This
is
the
we
have
three
employees
of
the
council,
and
this
is
the
committee
that
does
the
performance
evaluations.
B
It
is
more
involved
than
you
might
think,
because
there's
360
surveys
that
are
done
by
all
the
people
who
report
to
and
work
with
the
employees,
and
then
we
have
to
take
that
data.
Get
it
to
council
members.
Council
members
do
their
own
evaluations
comes
back,
there's
professional
help
for
it,
but
I
will
say
it
has
always
taken
longer
than
I
expected.
So
it's
a
it's
a
relatively
heavy
lift
and
it's
compressed.
B
It
will
start
typically
in
the
first
quarter
and
need
to
be
done
typically
by
fall,
and
I
know
that
we're
talking
about
changing
the
schedule
around
a
little
bit.
But
this
needs
some
folks
who
are
willing
to
roll
up
their
sleeves
and
do
some
work
to
be
on
this
committee
and-
and
we
have
bob
and
rachel
have
stepped
in
to
this
role.
But
I
assume
you'll
talk
about
that
with
the
new
council
and
then
intergovernmental
affairs
aaron.
D
Yeah
so
another
area
where
boulder
punches
above
its
weight
is
in
legislative
advocacy.
So
we
have
an
active
presence
at
the
state
capitol
each
year
during
the
legislative
session
led
ably
and
nobly
by
carl
castillo
and
the
legislative
policy
committee
meets
regularly
during
that
session
to
review
bills
that
have
come
out
and
decide
whether
they
recommend
that
the
city
take
a
position
on.
D
Those
also
has
a
bit
of
a
role
at
the
federal
level,
but
that's
much
less
active,
it's
mostly
being
really
hands-on
during
leading
up
to
and
during
the
legislative
session,
making
some
decisions
on
the
fly
and,
in
other
cases,
for
more
significant
things.
Referring
a
recommendation
to
the
entire
council.
B
B
X
Okay,
yeah
I'll,
take
this
one,
so
the
financial
strategy
committee
that
was
a
new
committee
this
year
and
had
a
big
lift
in
coming
up
with
the
process
for
developing
the
recommendation
and
as
well
as
the
recommendation
for
the
renewal
of
the
infrastructure
tax
which
passed
yay
and,
and
so
it's
a
relatively
heavy
lift.
It
meets
once
a
month
at
least,
and
maybe
more
as
things
heat
up
and
meet
for
an
hour
and
a
half.
X
And
this
year,
with
the
renewal
of
the
tax,
we
had
intensive
meetings
to
review
all
of
the
potential
projects
to
be
recommended.
O
X
If
you
are
interested
in
the
budget
and
how
the
budget
develops
up
through
the
beginning
of
the
year
to
when
it's
passed
in
october,
and
you
like
numbers-
and
you
want
to
geek
out
on
that
sort
of
stuff-
then
this
one's
for
you.
So
I
don't
know
if
that
the
terms
will
change
or
if
they'll
get
flipped
around.
But
the
committee
was
three
people
and
it
was
decided
that
two
would
have
two-year
terms
and
one
would
have
a
one-year
term.
So.
Q
X
The
next
council
to
decide
so.
V
I
would
I
would
further
that
by
saying,
if
this
is
sort
of
the
audit
committee
squared
in
terms
of
the
in-depth
look
that
you
have
to
take
and
focus
on
numbers-
and
it's
is
extremely
detail-oriented,
so
it's
a
pretty
heavy
lift
good
place
to
learn
more
about
the
city,
but
you
you
need
to
have
the
time
to
do
it.
Yeah.
E
Sure-
and
I
would
invite
mark
wallach
to
maybe
join
me
on
this,
so
when
I
started
out
on
this
committee
prior
to
covid,
we
were
meeting
once
a
month
on
wednesdays
for
an
hour,
I
think,
kind
of
a
four
to
five
pm
meeting,
and
then
that
was
largely
just
discussing
sort
of
things
that
that
were
not
working
well
on
the
hill
and
sort
of
ideas
for
change.
E
And
then,
after
the
riots
happened
in
march
of
this
year,
we
got
an
out
of
five
on
this
council
to
try
and
take
some
action
to
improve
the
situation
on
the
hill
and
focus
on
on
coming
up
with
some
legislative
solutions
and
and
getting
that
neighborhood
a
bit
more
help.
So
it
sort
of
evolved
into
something.
That's
a
heavier
lift
and
I'm
not
sure
when
they're
meeting
right
now
and
I'll
turn
to
mark.
For
that,
because
I
actually
well,
I
guess
after
the
riot
mark
was
invited
to
join
as
a
second
council
member.
E
So
there
have
been
two
of
us
doing
that
work
for
six
months,
but
then
I
stepped
back
because
I
was
having
conflicts
with
the
cu
south
negotiations
and
bob
actually
has
been
subbing
in
for
me.
So
that's
that's
where
I
believe
it
stands
now.
V
Okay,
it's
an
interesting
committee.
It
is
very
multi-disciplinary
in
terms
of
the
representatives
who
are
participating
in
it.
It's
a
large
group
sometimes
a
little
bit
unwieldy,
but
it
is
attempting
to
bring
suggestions
to
the
council
that,
hopefully
we
will
consider
next
year
of
of
specific
actions.
We
might
take
to
deal
with
some
of
the
problems
that
we've
been
experiencing
up
there.
So
it's
interesting
if
you're
inclined
to
do
that,
I
I
recommend
it
as
a
it's,
an
interesting
committee
to
participate
on.
B
Great
thank
you
and
the
next
committee
on
this
list.
We
disbanded
at
the
last
meeting.
E
And
since
there
is
a
little
bit
of
of
community
misunderstanding
around
this,
possibly
if
it
could
be
corrected
before
it's
it
struck
through,
it
was
not
sam
and
I
on
that
subcommittee
for
the
last
right,
like
cu
south
process
subcommittee.
So
if
you
could,
if
we
could
insert
aaron
and
mark,
I
think
as
the
more
recent
subcommittee
members
and
then
strike
it
out.
I
think
that
would
be
beneficial.
X
Yeah
I'll
take
that
one.
That
was
one
that
was
started
when
the
city
joined
the
gare,
which
is
the
government
alliance
on
racial
equity,
of
which
there's
numerous
cities
that
are
members,
and
it
has
been
evolving,
as
as
our
whole
approach
to
racial
equity
has
been
evolving
as
well.
And
so
it's
an
important
committee
that
meets
once
a
month
for
about
an
hour,
and
I
think
that
the
next
council
will
have
quite
a
say
in
and
how
this
moves
forward.
X
Because
it's
like,
I
said,
it's
been
evolving
and
it
includes
members
of
director
members
so
in
it
is
nuria
and
maris,
harold
and
kurt
fernaber
and
jen
sprinkle,
as
well
as
the
council
members.
So,
and.
E
X
Oh
and
amy,
of
course,
yes,
how
could
I
forget
amy
kane,
oh
my
god,
I'm
so
sorry,
amy
and,
of
course,
amy
kane.
G
Sure
we
about
about
six
or
eight
months
ago,
we
started
up
the
work
on
a
towards
a
police
master
plan
and
that
work
will
last
about
another,
oh
eight,
to
12
months.
It
should
be
wrapped
up
towards
the
end
of
next
year.
This
is
a
process
subcommittee,
so
we're
not
making
decisions
about
what
goes
in
the
police
master
plan,
but
we're
trying
to
guide
staff
in
engagement
with
the
community,
so
we
can
receive
as
much
community
input
on
the
police
master
plan.
G
The
committee
actually
consists
of
four
people:
two
members
of
the
community
who
counsel
appointed
and
then
junie,
and
I
and
junie
in
a
hotline
post,
indicated
that
she
would
be
happy
to
step
aside
in
this
one.
I
I
think
I
would
actually
be
happy
to
step
aside
in
this
one
too,
because
we're
at
a
real
natural
breaking
point,
we've
kind
of
finished
the
first
half
of
this
project,
there's
no
institutional
knowledge
that
people
that
join
would
need
to
go
into
the
second
half
of
this
project.
It's
all
about
engagement.
E
I'd
love
to
because
I
love
doing
this
committee
with
bob
yates,
so
this
committee
and
I
think,
like
almost
the
whole
engagement
committee's
in
this
room,
I
think
right.
E
Committee
members
we
get
together
and
talk
about
ways
that
we
can
improve
how
council
and
community
members
hear
from
each
other.
So
it's
everything
from
the
email
system
to
whether
we
want
to
do
more
chats
with
council,
or
you
know,
change
up
different
ways
that
we
are
offering
to
be
available
to
the
community
and
open
comment,
and
so
the
subcommittee
hears
from
staff
and
hears
from
the
community.
E
We
also
have
community
specific
events
where
we
invite
the
community
to
let
us
know
how
they
think
we
can
do
engagement
better
and
a
recent
example
would
be
bob
and
I
are
going
to
pilot
doing
office
hours
together
through
city
staff
and
like
twice
a
month.
So
those
are
the
sorts
of
things
that
the
committee
looks
at
and-
and
I
don't
know
that-
there's
really
a
rhythm-
it's
it's
like
kind
of.
Sometimes
we
meet
monthly,
sometimes
it'll
be
a
little
more
than
a
month
apart.
E
B
So
the
next
ones
are
local
board
member
appointments,
and
I
think
this
is
one
that
the
next
council
might
think
about
which
of
these
are
required,
which
aren't
and
so
on,
but
with
that
we'll
just
go
through
them
and
that'll
be
for
the
next
council.
Boulder
museum
of
contemporary
art,
aaron
yeah.
D
G
I've
served
as
council's
lean
liaison
to
the
convention
visitors
bureau
for
the
entire
six
years.
I've
been
on
council.
The
reason
why
we
have
a
council
representative
on
this
one
is
the
convention.
Visitors
bureau
receives
about
two
million
dollars
a
year
in
city
tax
revenues
and
they
use
that
money
to
generate
interest
in
boulder
by
visitors
from
near
and
far
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
been
steering.
V
The
dairy
is
a
an
interesting
assignment,
I
won't
say
it's
a
very
heavy
lift.
It
used
to
be
one
meeting
a
month
and
they're
going
down
to
one
meeting
per
quarter,
much.
A
V
And
their
meetings
are
at
8
30
in
the
morning,
the
day
after
we
have
council,
so
it
can
be
a
little
painful,
but
it's
it's
a
wonderful
organization.
You
have
the
opportunity
also
to
participate
in
one
of
their
subcommittees,
I'm
on
their
facilities
subcommittee.
V
Just
because
I
have
background
in
some
of
those
issues
that
they
deal
with.
It's
extremely
well
run,
they've
weathered
covid
very
well,
and-
and
so,
if
you
have
an
interest
in
the
arts
it,
it
can
be
a
very
interesting
assignment.
B
V
V
I'll,
let
bob
do
the
because
I'm
gonna
I'll
do
a
bhp.
G
Sure
I'm
going
back
to
mention
visitors
bureau
that
does
me
once
a
month
typically
on
thursday
afternoons,
the
business
improvement
district
is
is
one
that
sandra
would
be
helpful
to
know
if
we
actually
have
to
have
two
representatives
on
it
because
mark
and
I
serve
on
that
together.
I've
been
on
it
for
six
years
with
various
partners
and
we
struggle
sometimes
to
come
up
with
two
people
worth
of
content
to
report
to
the
business
improvement
district.
G
The
business
improvement
district
is
a
legal
taxing
authority
within
the
city,
so
it's
quasi-governmental
and
it
up
until
recently.
It's
met
a
monthly
and
mark,
and
I
report
to
the
to
the
representatives
on
that
board.
What's
going
on
from
the
city
perspective,
and
they
do
the
same
thing
as
to
downtown
starting
next
year.
That
meeting
will
go
to
quarterly
also,
which
is
a
lighter
lift,
but
the
other.
G
B
And
having
been
on
it,
I
agree
it
is,
but
I
will
say
that
having
one
council
member
go
to
these
meetings
is
important.
They're.
My
recollection,
when
I
was
on
it,
was
there's
a
good
exchange
with
the
council
members
for
10
or
15
minutes,
usually
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting.
So
having
one
is
important,
but
I
think
two
might
be
overkill
and
now
we're
going
to
move
into
a
couple
more
and
then
sister
cities,
so
older
housing
partners.
V
X
I
can,
although
rachel
is
serving
already
thank
you
rachel,
so
because
the
the
chautauqua
association
leases
land
from
the
city,
they
have
city
representation
there
and
they
meet
about
oh
roughly
about
once
a
month
take
maybe
a
couple
months
off
in
the
summer
and
then
also
in
the
winter,
but
you're
there
to
basically
represent
city
the
city
perspective
on
any
of
their
activities,
any
and
all
of
their
activities.
X
X
So
this,
I
think,
is
a
good
change
which
will
bring
the
ability
of
the
board
itself
to
identify.
O
X
Its
gaps
are
in
board
representation
so
that
they
can
be
more
high,
functioning
and
yeah.
So
it's
it's.
It's
an
interesting
board
if
you
like
chautauqua,
it's
great
and
the
meetings
are
about
supposed
to
be
about
an
hour
and
a
half
long,
but
I
did
not
attend
any
hour
and
a
half
long
meetings.
They
were
all
about
three
so,
but
I
like,
I
said
it's
in
flux
and
changing.
U
So
yeah
this
was
not
even
once
a
month.
I
think
once
every
other
month,
something
like
that.
Originally,
the
problem
we
can't
remember
is
because,
as
soon
as
covet
hit,
we
had
only
had
two
meetings
before
that
and
then
it
essentially
you
know
every
country
had
their
own
bigger
issues
to
deal
with,
so
we
haven't
really
met
and
I'm
hoping
it
will
pick
back
up,
but
we
really
need
someone
who's,
probably
interested
in
helping
drive
that
into
continuation
honestly.
T
E
X
So
I
served
on
that
committee
and
where
more
council
involvement
involvement
comes
in,
is
when
there's
a
new
sister
city,
that's
being
proposed
and
that's
that's
when
it
sees
more
action.
B
And
so
on,
sister
cities,
just
a
quick
heads
up
for
new
council
members.
Those
are
not
official
city
organizations
of
any
kind.
We
charter
them,
and
that
is
all
we
do
with
them
and
we
maintain
relations
and
and
hear
from
them
when
they
have
requests
of
us
or
whatever.
We
try
and
appoint
one
council
member
per
sister
city,
but
we
have
10
sister
cities
now.
So
it's
not
clear
exactly
how
that's
going
to
evolve.
The
annual
sister
city
dinner
when
it
happens,
is
great
because
you
get
to
learn.
B
G
One
thing
I
will
say
about
serving
as
a
liaison
to
one
of
these
sister
cities
is
there's
an
opportunity
to
take
a
really
cool
trip.
Now
the
city
does
not
reimburse
this
is
all
out
of
your
own
pocket.
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
visit
nablus,
palestine
in
ramadhan,
negev,
israel
and
on
behalf
of
the
sister
cities,
and
you
get
to
meet
the
mayor
and
and
go
on
tours
of
soap,
factories
and
all
sorts
of
really
really
cool
things
in
those
towns.
G
But
it
is
out
of
your
own
pocket
and
there
is
a
I'm,
the
representative
to
deshaumbe
tajikistan,
and
there
is
a
trip
tentatively
planned
for
this
coming
fall
for
dushanbe.
So
if
anyone
wants
to
go
to
chambai,
they
might
want
to
raise
their
hand
for
that.
One
great
thank.
B
You
so
with
that
we're
done
that
is
our
list
of
committees,
both
internal
and
external.
B
I
will
say
this
is
the
hidden
work
of
council
there's
more
hidden
work
of
counsel,
but
this
is
a
bunch
of
stuff
that
you
sign
up
for
and
some
of
it's
fun,
some
of
it's
less
fun,
but
it
is
all
part
of
the
job
description
for
sure
with
that
we
are
done
with
this
item
and
done
with
the
agenda,
so
I
think
it'd
be
appropriate
time
if
anyone
wants
to
say
a
few
last
things
before
we
gavel
the
last
meeting
of
this
council
closed
rachel.
I
saw
your
hand
I
saw
aaron
go.
D
In
first
I'll,
just
be
flip,
where
are
like
little
tassels
and
headboards
that
we
can
throw
into
the
air
for
the
end
of
the
council
asks
there.
You
go
I'll
I'll,
say
a
few
words
at
the
the
luncheon
on
thursday,
but
yeah.
It's
been
a
pleasure.
E
A
O
E
Okay,
well
I'll
just
say
a
couple
words,
then
I'll
start
with
mirabai
who's
been
patiently
up
there
on
screen
all
night.
I'm
hereby
you
know
we
didn't
overlap
much,
so
I'm
sorry
that
we
didn't
get
to
know
each
other
better,
and
I
will
say
that
as
someone
who's
also
passionate
about
issues,
I
care
about,
I
very
much
respect
and
and
admire
your
tenacity
and
advocating
for
your
values
and
appreciated
you
doing
that.
Steadfastly
and-
and
I
wish
you
joy
in
your
newfound
freedom.
O
V
I
will
say
that
the
happiest
people
I
have
ever
seen
are
the
departing
members
of
city
council.
They
smile
all
the
time.
I've
never
seen
people
smile
all
the
time
before,
but
it's
it's
been
my
honor
and
and
privilege
to
serve
with
all
of
you.
We
haven't
always
agreed
on
everything,
but
that
doesn't
matter
I've
been
impressed
with
each
one
of
you.
I.
V
G
Well,
like
aaron
I'll,
say
most
of
my
comments
for
our
luncheon
next
tuesday,
but
I
do
want
to
this.
Is
the
third
council
that
aaron
and
I
have
each
served
on
third
two
year,
council
and
all
due
respect
to
our
prior
colleagues.
I
would
say
it's
my
favorite
council
and
and
that's
caused
by
a
couple
things
number
one,
the
the
relationship
that
we've
built.
G
Maybe
it
was
a
relationship
of
fire
because
of
covet-
or
maybe
it's
just
because
you're
all
really
super
nice
people,
and
I
think
that
sam
deserves
a
lot
of
credit
for
bringing
us
together
and
keeping
us
together,
and
my
hope
for
the
next
council
and
for
our
colleagues
that
are
going
to
join
us
starting
next
week,
is
that
that
council
is
at
least
as
good
as
this
one,
because
this
has
been
a
really
really
good
group
of
people
to
serve
with.
So
thank
you
all.
E
Can
I
double
dip,
because
I
I
I
was
starting
with
mirabai,
but
I
did
have
words
for
each
of
you
and
I
you
know,
I'm
freestyling
here
just
say
a
little
bit
more
about
adam.
I
you
know
part
of
my
campaign.
Slogan
or
logo
was
a
rainbow
and
I
you
know
I
sort
of
have
come
to
see
you
as
as
like
the
rainbow
bearer
and
the
sort
of
bringer
of
just
good
things
and
sort
of
a
moral
center
to
this
council.
E
So
you
will
be
deeply
missed
and
I
thank
you
for
being
that
for
us,
and
that
means
no
disrespect
to
the
rest
of
you.
E
And
then
for
mary,
it's
been
a
joy
to
me
over
the
last
year
that
we
have
gotten
a
little
closer
and
I
have
considered
you
a
mentor
and
a
friend
and
that
that
was
just
like
a
big
bonus
for
me,
because
I
think
you
know
I
started
out
as
an
activist
and
and
you
sort
of
have
impressions
of
people
from
the
other
side
of
the
diocese
and
and
grateful
that
that
you
were
so
generous
with
your
time
and
and
mentoring
of
me.
So
thank
you
for
that
and
sam.
E
E
O
E
Off
our
dot,
you
were
the
the
center
of
the
community
and-
and
I
don't
think
anybody
could
have
done
better
in
the
aftermath
of
that
than
you
did
so.
I
appreciate
all
that
you
did
holding
the
community
together
and
then
you
know
kind
of
walked
through
the
fire
on
cu
south
negotiations
and
and
admire
your
your
leadership
and
encourage
there.
So
thank
you
for
a
job
really
well
done.
B
This
is
my
fourth
council
and
they're
all
different,
and
I
think
this
is
the
council
that
far
and
away
had
the
heaviest
left
of
anyone
and
it's
hard
to
describe
to
people
who
haven't
been
on
council
before,
but
all
of
the
things
that
you
think
are
critically
important,
like
land
use
and
and
homelessness
and
police
reform.
All
those
things
are
incredibly
important,
but
when
a
pandemic
lands
all
of
a
sudden,
this
gets
elevated
to
the
very
top
of
the
list
and
nobody
has
a
script.
B
The
right
answers
came
from
the
entire
community,
but
we
had
to
help
distill
them
with
our
staff
and
with
the
county
staff
and
so
on.
So
you
know
thank
you
to
you
all
for
the
personal
sacrifices
that
I
know
that
you
made
to
be
able
to
bring
the
community
through
this
tough
couple
of
years
that
we've
had.
B
So
I
think
it's
been
an
exceptional
council
from
that
standpoint.
The
challenges
it
had
to
face-
and
you
know
staff
also
had
to
face
all
of
those
challenges
and
if
it
weren't
for
the
staff,
we
couldn't
have
done
our
jobs
at
all,
and
so
it's
just
something.
You
know
that
we
can
all
carry
with
us
forward
that
we
were
part
of
this
and
that
we
had
to
adapt
and
overcome,
and-
and
I
think
this
council
did-
that
and
managed
to
keep
really
good
interpersonal
relationships
throughout
that,
and
I
hope
that
the
next
council
takes
that.
B
B
So
I
guess
I'll
just
say
thank
you
to
everyone,
I'm
proud
of
the
work
this
council
did,
and
I
know
it
took
a
lot
out
of
everyone.
So
it's
much
appreciated.
X
So
I
just
I
just
want
to
say
one
short
thing
rachel
last
week,
you
asked
me
what
I
was
going
to
miss
the
most
and
I've
thought
about
it
since
then,
and
I
think
what
I'm
gonna
miss
the
most
is
having
colleagues
and
having
colleagues,
especially
in
this
council,
under
the
pressure
cooker,
that
it
was,
was
actually
quite
a
gift,
and
so
thank
you
all.
