declared
November
15th
as
Colorado
recycles
week
just
in
time
for
the
third
annual
state
of
recycling
in
Colorado
report.
In
this
report,
the
city
of
Boulder
was
named
the
gold
medal
winner
for
best
municipal
recycling
in
the
state.
The
state
of
recycling
in
Colorado
report,
composed
by
the
Colorado,
Public,
Interest,
Research,
Group
and
eco
cycle
highlights
the
successes
of
recycling
in
the
state
in
total
communities
all
across
Colorado
recycled
and
composted
over
1.2
million
tons
of
materials.
B
Last
year.
These
achievements
were
announced
during
a
press
conference
at
eco
cycle
this
week,
where
first
gentleman
Marlin
Reece,
along
with
older
mayors
and
Jones,
and
other
community
leaders,
presented
some
of
the
findings
in
the
report.
Thanks
to
the
city's
universal
zero
waste,
ordinance
boulders
state,
leading
by
version
rate,
is
57
percent,
which
is
higher
than
the
national
average
of
35
percent.
We.
C
Also
have
a
long
way
to
go.
Our
goal
is
ultimately
85
percent
or
90
percent
recycling,
which
is
what
we
consider
zero
waste
and
that
that
amount
at
85
or
90
percent
diversion
is
by
2025
is
our
goal,
and
so
we
do
have
a
ways
to
go.
We're
starting
to
also
look
right
now
at
what
we
should
be
doing
beyond
recycling
and
composting.
And
how
do
we
continue
to
make
it
easier
for
residents
and
businesses
to
sort
their
waste
properly.

of
climate.
This
week
the

climate
initiatives,
Department
healthy
public
visioning
workshop,
where
attendees
got
a
chance
to
learn
about
developing
a
circular
economy
and
bolder
in
co-creating
a
vision
for
the
city.
B
We
spoke
to
Jimmy
Harkin
sustainability
coordinator
to
learn
more
the
climate
mobilization
action
plan,
which
was
recently
kicked
off,
is
a
committee
effort
to
come
up
with
a
new
climate
strategy
in
response
to
the
accelerating
impact
of
climate
change.
This
week,
the
city's
climate
initiatives
team
held
an
engagement
events
to
get
the
public's
thoughts
on
the
city's
circular
economy.
We.
D
Are
looking
what
comes
after
just
recycling
and
composting?
How
do
we
actually
transform
our
local
economy
to
be
truly
circular
and
what
that
means
is
keeping
materials
in
circulation
as
long
as
possible
and
designing
wastes
out
of
the
system?
So
it's
easy
for
everyone
in
town
to
make
the
right
choice
with
the
lowest
impact
on
our
planet
over
80.

Police
and
they
would
like
the
community's
input.
The
city
of
Boulder,
along
with
a
national
recruiting
firm,
is
set
to
host
two
community
input
sessions.
Community
members
can
share
their
thoughts
about
what
is
most
important
for
the
next
police
chief.
The
first
event

on
Tuesday
November
19th
from
4
to
5
p.m.

in
response
to
recent
events.
Earlier
this
month,
the
Bullard
Jewish
Community,
Center
and
other
community
partners
invite
the
public
to
discuss
recent
incidents
of
anti-semitism
in
her
area
and
to
provide
support
to
one
another.
B
We
sat
down
with
Boulder
JCC's
executive
director
Jonathan
left
to
get
an
insight
into
this
weekend's
event
on
Sunday
November
17th,
the
Boulder
JCC
will
be
holding
an
event,
titled
anti-semitism
in
our
community,
a
conversation
and
it's
a
collaboration
between
Boulder
area
rabbis,
the
boulder
JCC,
the
anti-defamation
league
and
some
state
government
offices.
This
conversation
comes
in
response
to
recent
events
that
occurred
in
the
state.
The
event
will
feature
local
rabbis,
as
well
as
members
from
the
DA
in
the
attorney
general's
office.
B
E
Want
to
be
a
place
where
we
can
be
a
representative
of
what's
possible
in
Boulder
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
feels
comfortable
when
walking
through
our
doors,
but
not
just
here
everywhere
in
Boulder
County.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
possible,
and
and
by
being
an
example,
hopefully
we
can
change
a
regional
and
a
state
and
a
national
level
of
what's
possible.
Everybody.

City
news
have
a
good
week.
F
New
ordinance
does
not
change
the
maximum
height
limit
in
the
city
of
Boulder.
The
maximum
height
limit
in
the
city
is
set
by
the
city
charter
that
was
done
in
1971,
so
it
sets
it
at
55
feet.
What
it
does
is
it
changes
the
conditions
between
the
top
of
the
maximum
height
limit
and
a
zoning
district
up
to
that
55
feet
so
just
want
to
make
it
clear:
it's
not
raising
the
height
limit
in
the
city
of
Boulder,
okay,.
A
F
It's
community
benefit
is,
is
anything
that
you
know
can
contribute
to
the
community
needs,
as
identified
in
the
Boulder
Valley
comprehensive
plan,
so
obviously
permanent,
affordable
housing
is
one
of
those
identified
needs,
potentially
public
spaces
space
for
the
arts,
there's
a
number
of
different
things
that
have
been
identified
already
in
our
comp
plan.
So
with
the
new
program,
what
we
call
phase,
one
of
community
benefits,
really
focuses
on
permantly
fordable
housing.
F
So
in
this
case,
if
there's
a
building,
typically
a
by
right
building
built
up
to
the
zoning
district
maximum
is
about
one
to
three
stories.
If
you
go
above
that,
it
requires
a
process
called
a
height
modification
and
that's
been
done
through
what
we
call
site
review
for
years.
It
requires
Planning
Board,
review
and
specific
criteria,
but
there's
no
specific
criteria
in
the
code
before
this
ordinance
that
related
to
community
benefit.
It
was
more
about
compatibility
with
the
surrounding
and
proportion
of
two
other
buildings
that
are
the
height
limit.
F
F
Been
talking
about
community
benefit
for
a
number
of
years,
and
we've
been
doing
a
lot
of
outreach
over
the
past
year.
Learn
it
like
talking
to
focus
groups
and
meeting
with
people
at
community
meetings
and
kind
of
better
understanding
the
community
values.
So
we
were
able
to
identify
Alissa
long
list
of
community
benefits,
but
with
the
permanent,
affordable
piece.
What
would
happen
is
if
you
go
above
the
height
limit,
the
the
typical
requirements
for
permanent,
affordable
housing
would
increase.
So
if
you're
familiar
with
the
code
under
the
height
limit,
the
requirement
is
25.
F
Percent
of
the
unit's
proposed
on
a
property
would
have
to
be
permanently
affordable.
It's
call
our
inclusionary
housing
requirements,
but
for
the
bonus
floor
area,
if
you
go
above
that
height
limit
and
a
fourth
or
a
fifth
story,
that
requirement
would
increase
to
36
percent
of
the
bonus
units.
There's
also
what
we
call
commercial
linkage,
fees
that
relate
to
a
funding
for
affordable
housing.
F
A
F
Does
it's
specifically
tied
to
the
comprehensive
plan?
So
if
you
go
back
to
the
plan
which
was
adopted
in
2017,
there's
three
policies
that
are
specific
to
this,
so
I
don't
have
the
numbers
in
front
of
me,
but
there's
one
that
relates
to
community
benefit
and
there's
one.
That's
relates
to
building
height
and
there's
one
that
relates
to
a
permanent,
affordable
housing
and
it
all
talks
about
if
a
project
is
adding
intensity
or
density
or
height,
that
the
expectation
is
that
there
be
some
sort
of
community
benefit,
with
a
focus
on
permanently
affordable.
How
and.
A
F
Phase
two
is
already
underway:
we've
already
identified
a
number
of
the
other
community
benefits
that
I
spoke
of
like
below
market
rate
commercial
space
for
the
arts,
transportation
improvements
are
all
identified.
We
basically
just
needed
to
define
them
more
and
understand
exactly
what
those
mean
so
that
they
can
be
put
into
the
code
and
be
and
enforceable.
F
F
F
The
new
ordinance,
which
is
the
phase
1
of
community
benefit,
would
go
into
effect
on
January
1st
2020.
As
far
as
what
the
community
would
see,
I
mean.
Most
of
these
projects
are
allowed
in
specific
areas
that
are
shown
in
appendix
J,
which
is
a
map.
That's
in
our
land
use
code.
That
shows
exactly
where
height
modifications
can
be
requested,
so
that
map
was
was
changed
slightly
by
council
in
their
action.
F
They
added
the
Alpine
balsam
area
plan
area
to
the
areas
of
air,
where
you
can
ask
for
a
height
modification,
as
well
as
the
the
residential
high
3
zoning
district
rh3,
and
then
the
other
areas
are
the
same.
So
basically
height
modifications
would
still
occur
in
those
areas.
You
might
see
taller
buildings,
the
difference
being
that
there
would
either
be
more
on
site
firmly,
affordable
housing
in
those
projects
or
more
funding
for
permanent,
affordable
projects
and.
F
A
As
part
of
the
city's
efforts
to
ensure
that
border
is
a
welcoming
and
inclusive
community
border
has
updated
its
Municipal
Code
to
enhance
sentencing
for
bias-motivated
crimes.
Some
of
those
updates
include
mixed-mode
of
hate
crimes,
religious
expression
and
increasing
potential
sentencing
from
90
days
to
364
days
in
jail
joining
us
to
explain
what
the
bias
motivated
crime
ordinance
means.
Our
human
relations
chair,
nikhil,
mayekar
and
border
district
attorney
michael
dougherty.
Thank
you
both
for
joining
us
today
and
nikhil
talked
to
us
about
the
human
relations
commission.
A
H
I'll
go
back
a
ways
about
a
decade
ago.
I
began
following
hate
crimes
closely
in
the
community
following
prosecution's
all
of
the
cases
both
locally
and
then
even
nationally,
through
that
I
got
involved
in
assisting
and
advocating
for
victims
and
I
began
to
see
the
difficulties
in
prosecuting
handclaps
through
such
difficult
cases
to
prosecute,
because
they
involve
motive
and
I
saw
the
ways
that
the
laws
may
not
be
the
best
tool
of
the
law.
Enforcement
and
I
began
thinking
of
ways
that
maybe
we
could
change
that
and
do
better
on
it.
Flashed
it
to
2016.
H
After
the
2016
election,
the
Commission
began
to
have
impact
houses
at
meetings
and
people
appointed
to
us
at
public
comment:
incidences
of
bias
in
hate
in
the
community,
from
Muslim
students
having
head
coverings,
twined
off
and
being
called
names
to
many
others.
At
that
point,
I
thought
this
would
be
a
good
opportunity
to
be
responsive
to
the
community
and
maybe
channels
some
innovative
ideas.
I
had
been
thinking
of
over
those
through
the
commission
into
the
law,
so.
H
So
two
major
changes
to
the
biased,
motivated
hate
crimes,
law
in
the
city
of
coverage.
We
mixed-motive
hate
crimes
and
coverage
for
religious
expression,
so
one
on
mixed-motive
hate
crimes,
an
example
of
that
would
be
say
to
people
out
drinking
in
a
ball
but
bump
into
each
other.
Someone
spills
a
drink
on
someone
they
get
into
a
dispute,
it
escalates
and
someone,
you
know,
calls
the
other
one
racial
epithets
and
they
get
into
a
fight
with
the
mixed-motive
protections.
H
We
now
address
the
the
ability
of
what
used
to
be
the
ease
with
which
defense
attorneys
could
cause
confusion
in
those
cases
and
say:
well,
they
didn't
mean
it
that
way.
It
was
about
the
spilled
drink
and
it
wasn't
a
racist
incident.
Now,
with
the
mixed
motive
protections,
we
have
coverage
in
a
lawful,
regardless
of
any
other
motive.
H
You
can
prosecute
those
as
hate
crimes
now
and
it
makes
it
it
gives
it
clearly
to
to
judges
and
to
prosecutors
in
those
cases.
So
that's
a
huge
one,
because
you
can
imagine
those
in
those
kinds
of
incidents
happen
a
lot
where
they
escalate
from
something
else
into
a
hate
crime.
The
second
component
is
religious
expression,
which
we
also
gave
a
definition
of
that
names:
specific
forms
of
religious
expression,
clack
to
spy
minority
religions.
H
Now
this
is
something
new
that
is
not
contained
in
a
lot
of
hate
crime
laws
as
well,
and
we
named
things
like
head
coverings
of
all
kinds,
so
that
would
apply
a
yarmulke
Ruben's
and
head
scarves,
worn
by
Muslims.
We
also
covered
on
cotton
on
Schwinn
Hills,
so
for
Sikhs
or
the
seat
of
Jews.
It
would
apply
to
them
so
including
these
innovations
in
the
law,
those
so
important,
because
we're
really
giving
law
enforcement
a
better
tool
to
prosecute
hate
crimes
and
hold
people
accountable,
and
what.
H
Of
things,
I
think
we
can
do
better
trainings
with
law
enforcement
with
these
laws
and
then
also
get
cleanings
out
into
the
community
on
a
lie
ship
and
how
to
not
be
bystanders
but
I.
Think
Michael
is
in
a
better
position
to
talk
about
some
of
the
things
he's
doing
with
law
enforcement
training.
Well,.
G
All
of
Boulder
can
and
also
offers
the
opportunity
for
law
enforcement
prosecutors
to
receive
better
training
and
instruction
on
how
we
can
best
combat
hate
crimes
in
the
county,
and
they
think,
quite
frankly,
that
as
community
leaders
and
elected
officials,
we
have
the
opportunity,
if
not
the
obligation,
to
set
the
culture
and
climate
for
the
community
and
help
people
understand
how
we're
going
to
approach
diversity
and
how
much
that's
an
important
part
of
who
we
are
in
this
county
in
this
country.
So.
A
G
Since
2016
nationwide
there's
been
an
increase
in
hate
crimes,
olders
not
immune
from
those
challenges
either
and
we've
certainly
seen
increasing
hate
speech
and
hate
crimes
committed
with
in
Boulder
County.
So
when
I
became
District
Attorney
last
year
we
launched
the
bias
and
hate
crimes
initiative.
I,
look
closely
with
Nikhil
on
that
as
well,
and
what
we
did
in
conjunction
with
law
enforcement
and
other
groups
such
as
out
Boulder
and
the
LGBTQ
community
is
set
up
a
biased
hate
crimes.
