B
My
name
is
Phyllis
roofie
and
I'm
really
privileged
to
be
introducing
some
Junior
Rangers.
Tonight
we
have
a
hundred
students
out
in
the
field,
doing
work
for
the
department,
promoting
resource
management
goals,
around
trails
and
forest
management
and
weed
management
they've
been
having
a
great
summer
and
they
are
working
on
their
skills
in
job
performance,
teamwork,
stewardship
awareness
and
leadership.
B
The
legacy
of
the
department's
investment
in
youth
voice
really
shines
through
not
only
in
the
product
that
we're
working
on,
but
also
in
the
team
process,
very
powerful
to
witness
these
students
taking
accountability
not
only
for
themselves
but
their
teamwork,
and
they
accomplish
really
incredible
things.
I
was
out
on
Dakota
Ridge
Trail
today
and
we
who
received
fabulous
feedback
from
the
hikers.
They
were
saying
thank
you
and
they're,
so
encouraged
by
the
passion
of
young
people.
It's
really
privileged
to
be
involved
in
that
work.
B
These
students
are
incredible:
ambassadors
for
collaboration
and
community
engagement.
My
earliest
mentors
were
people
who
inspired
new
ideas
for
me
and
encouraged
my
best
abilities
and
tonight
the
presenters
are
going
to
share
with
you
what
inspires
them
to
service
and
I.
It
might
help
us
reflect
on
not
only
what
has
inspired
our
values
but
how
we
can
help
other
people
share
similar
values.
So
it's
my
privilege
to
introduce
Carter,
Moffatt,
Anika
brown
and
Holland
Stevenson.
Thank
you.
C
What
feels
a
life
of
service
service
to
me
means
giving
what
I
have
whether
it
is
work,
passion
or
love
to
support
someone
or
something.
I
came
into
the
Junior
Ranger
program
the
summer
before
my
first
year
of
high
school,
knowing
very
little
about
Oh
s
and
P,
and
what
to
expect
I
was
amazed
by
how
much
I
learned
about
the
organization
and
what
it
does
for
the
community.
I.
C
Was
amazed,
I
was
trying
to
appreciation
for
the
trails
and
open
space
that
has
only
grown
over
these
past
four
years.
This
is
sparked
by
the
passion.
I
saw
some
of
the
older
members
and
crew
leaders
had
for
the
work
that
we
were
doing.
I
saw
this
passion
as
valuing
care
for
the
land,
since
it
belongs
to
all
of
us.
This
helped
convince
me
of
the
importance
of
taking
care
of
what
makes
boulder
beautiful
and
why
that's
so
beneficial
for
the
community.
C
One
thing
that
is
reiterated
was
the
importance
of
the
Junior
Ranger
program
and
how
it
teaches
young
adults
that
OMP
is
a
place
that
belongs
to
them,
but
it's
also
a
place
that
needs
to
be
taken.
Care
of
I
also
noticed
that
the
amount
of
people
who
use
the
trails
for
a
wide
variety
of
reasons
and
benefited
from
the
work
we
did
as
Junior
Rangers
fostering
Service
Above
Self
benefits
the
environment.
I
feel
that
I'm
now
sharing
that
same
passion
with
some
of
the
younger
Junior
Rangers
this
year,
I
have
learned
to
love
and
respect.
C
I
was
impeding
the
trails,
and
that
would
be
hard
to
come
by
anywhere
else.
Having
just
spent
last
year
studying
in
Spain
one
having
just
spent
last
year
studying
Spain.
Something
that
blew
me
away
was
their
lack
of
awareness
when
it
came
to
taking
care
of
the
environment
when
I
first
got
there,
I
thought
they
didn't
use
trash
cans
because
they
would
just
throw
their
trash
on
the
ground.
C
From
this
experience
abroad,
I
have
a
new
appreciation
for
ou
s
and
P,
and
the
opportunity
we
have
to
take
care
of
the
natural
beauty
here
in
Boulder,
I
have
learned,
I've
been
taught
to
treat
you
O
S&P
is
my
home,
and
because
of
this,
I
have
a
new
respect
for
the
trails
from
little
things
like
picking
up
trash
to
even
trying
to
explain
to
a
hiker
why
they
shouldn't
use
a
social
trail.
This
job
and
my
work
with
it,
has
had
such
a
significant
impact
on
me.
C
D
E
My
name
is
Emma
co,
Brown
I'm
a
second
year
Junior
Ranger
last
summer,
my
crew
and
I
built
wooden
risers
on
the
Mesa
Trail.
As
we
worked,
we
saw
people
from
all
walks
of
life
from
a
family,
with
two
little
girls
bounding
up
the
trail
with
their
dog,
an
older
couple.
Slowly,
climbing
the
steps
and
pausing
to
talk
to
the
crew.
E
We
heard
languages,
we
didn't
recognize
and
met
tourists
from
a
different
country,
but
the
one
thing
connecting
all
the
people
we
saw
was
their
love
of
nature.
Seeing
and
interacting
with
all
these
different
people
made
me
realize
how
lucky
we
are
to
have
chosen
open
space
accessible
to
all
in
Boulder,
regardless
of
money,
age
ability
and
any
of
the
other
factors
that
may
divide
us
open
space
is
the
heart
of
Boulder
I,
can't
imagine
the
city
or
this
community.
E
Without
it,
every
one
of
us
is
connected
to
open
space
in
some
way
and
contributes
to
its
health
and
protection
because
of
Junior
Rangers
I
realize
that
I
have
a
responsibility
to
protect
open
space
and
that
we
all
do
I
feel
an
ownership
and
pride
for
the
trails.
I've
worked
on
open
space
is
a
place
where
everyone
can
belong
as
a
junior,
Ranger
I
know
that
I
am
helping
to
create
a
sense
of
belonging
for
future
generations.
E
Working
with
a
crew
towards
a
common
goal
creates
an
environment
in
which
we
all
have
something
to
contribute.
Every
one
of
us
brings
something
valuable
to
the
crew.
As
a
student
I
was
trying
to
find
this
at
school,
but
I
found
it
with
Junior
Rangers
I'm,
a
part
of
something
bigger
than
myself.
This
program
has
taught
me
to
actively
seek
out
ways
to
better.
F
Hi,
my
name
is
Han
Stephenson
and
I'm
a
fourth
year
junior
Ranger.
They
say
that
home
is
where
the
heart
is.
I'd
say
that
for
the
city
of
Boulder
home
as
Vera
trails
are
I've
been
a
part
of
the
junior
intercom
for
four
years
now
and
I'm
about
to
go
off
to
college
and
hope
that
who
I
become
as
ready
for
this
big
step,
Junior
Rangers
becomes
a
part
of
your
identity
and
college
is
about
sharing
ready
with
the
world.
The
service
that
we
perform
creates
ripples
throughout
our
lives.
F
I've
been
gifted
for
years
to
share
generate
with
my
community
and
a
lifetime
to
share
it
with
the
world
back
in
seventh
grade
I
couldn't
imagine
having
home
anywhere
else.
Even
my
mother
and
all
their
friends
had
grown
up
here
in
Boulder
always
returned
now.
What's
cursed,
you
know,
and
that
seemed
to
be
my
fate-
to
go
to
college
in
Boulder
sort
of
life
in
Boulder,
raise
kids
in
Boulder
and
yet
every
other
Saturday
that
spring
my
7th
grade,
my
favorite
hike
Sanitas
and
it
was
fun
beautiful,
memorable,
but
sinuous
wasn't
home
to
me.
F
None
of
these
trails
were
home.
Was
my
comfortable
bed
playing
backyard?
My
dogs,
my
family,
it
Sanitas
well
some
me
as
sister
Tralee
hiked
every
once
in
a
while
and
then
following
doggedly
my
other
with
his
footsteps.
I
found
Junior
Rangers
and
suddenly
it
clicked
certain
well,
groomed
trails
have
become
familiar
like
a
favorite
room.
The
names
of
terrain
of
features,
roll
off,
my
tongue
of
the
names
of
family
and
friends,
water
bar
out,
fro
apron
slough
and
the
confidence
with
each
I
greet
people.
The
very
ones
are
maintained.
F
It
shows
for
it's
the
confidence
that
I
carry
with
me
daily
and
now
trying
to
set
foot
an
unknown
terrain,
a
concrete
jungle
1794
miles
away
in
New,
York
City
I
reflect
on
Sanitas
another
bull,
hiking
trails
and
I.
Think
of
home.
Perhaps
they
don't
find
home
and
take
responsibility
for
it.
College
is
about
the
future
and
so
is
Junior
Rangers.
F
When
I
go
off
to
college
and
leaving
home,
not
just
my
house
with
my
parents
and
the
people,
I
love,
but
Boulder,
anos,
mp2,
Junior
Rangers,
helps
to
ensure
the
I
and
how
many
hundreds
of
the
people
love
a
home
to
come
back
to.
You
can
take
the
girl
to
Boulder.
You
can't
take
Boulder
out
of
the
girl
and
I
out
Junior
Rangers,
a
huge
debt
and
helping
to
give
me
the
confidence
to
know
that,
no
matter
how
far
I
roam
I
am
home.
G
D
A
Great
thank
you
I
understand
that
you
have
saved
us
10,000
net
worth
time
that
you've
contributed
to
the
program,
you're,
really
a
motto
of
stewardship
and
since
we're
shifting
into
that
mode
in
the
future,
it's
inspiring
to
have
the
right
interest
part
of
the
program,
and
then
we
have
for
staff.
I
guess
this
too
started
it
as
Junior
Rangers
as
well
yeah.
So
I,
don't
know
if
in
any
of
them
or
here
didn't
know,.
B
G
H
Also
a
formal
former
Junior
Ranger
and
my
name
is
Arian
hampel
and
I'm,
one
of
your
Ranger
natural
ists
and
I'm
here,
to
talk
to
you
tonight
about
a
pilot
youth
program
that
was
really
for
me
inspired
because
of
the
Junior
Ranger
program.
It
just
ended.
Last
week
it
was
called
the
Junior
Ranger
Naturalist
pilot
program.
It
was
designed
to
allow
youths
between
14
and
17
years
old,
the
opportunity
to
learn
about
outdoor
leadership,
customer
service
stewardship
and
promote
natural
resource
protection.
H
This
program
was
born
out
of
a
discussion
twelve
years
ago,
actually
with
Elise
and
I
revisited
it
and
collaborated
with
it.
During
a
meeting
I
had
during
the
world
Ranger
Congress
last
summer
and
I
was
meeting
with
other
Rangers
from
Nigeria
Australia
and
the
UK,
and
we
came
up
with
this
idea
that
we
needed
to
help
get
more
community
investment
in
our
natural
areas,
and
so
at
this
meeting
we
decided
two
of
the
best
ways
to
do.
This
was
to
reduce
youth
involvement.
H
So
we
recognize
that
most
people
have
a
poor
understanding
of
the
diversity
of
skills
that
Rangers
are
required
to
do
to
be
competent
in
their
positions,
and
so
we
challenge
each
other
to
create
programs
internationally
to
allow
the
next
generation
of
park
visitors
and
park
protectors
to
learn
about
Ranger
skills.
The
goal
of
this
pilot
program
was
for
participants
to
learn
about
professional
outdoor
skills
and
to
apply
them
with
Rangers
in
the
field.
We
were
able
to
do
that.
H
The
pilot
program
included
ten
members
ages,
14
to
17
from
high
schools
all
across
Boulder
as
part
of
the
pilot
program.
We
also
partnered
with
Boulder
County
Rangers,
who
helped
lead
portions
of
the
program.
Some
of
the
highlights
of
the
program
were
Trail
restoration
work.
We
got
them
CPR.
First,
aid
certified
as
well
as
teaching
them
search
and
rescue
techniques.
After
that,
we
broke
them
into
small
teams
and
it
helped
them
participate
in
field
based
and
mock
search-and-rescue
scenarios
with
emergency
services
with
the
county
of
Boulder,
as
well
as
the
city
of
Boulder.
H
H
All
participants
said
that
they
would
do
the
program
again.
We
gave
them
surveys
as
well
as
compiled
other
information,
and
we
will
provide
an
update
to
the
board
and
to
the
department
at
a
later
date.
The
program
was
overall
a
great
success
and
we
hope
to
have
them.
Some
of
them
maybe
come
and
talk
to
you
in
October.
So
thank
you
for
your
time.
A
I
A
Paint
then
we
have
public
participation
for
items
not
identified.
Do
we
have
some.
A
Okay,
okay,
Ellen
delamare.
L
L
You
know
that
some
of
you
may
remember
in
2015
in
August,
I
came
and
said:
hey,
we
don't
know
about
the
rate
of
increase
of
open
space
and
I've,
been
addressing
this
open
space
parking
problem
ever
since
we
know
the
current
status
of
how
many
people
are
using
it,
but
we
don't
know
what
the
rate
of
increase
is
and
how
bad
will
the
parking
be
in
a
few
years.
So
I
got
some
new
information
thanks
to
working
with
Dan
Burke.
L
He
sent
me
a
couple
of
reports,
the
2004-2005
visitation
estimate
report
and
the
staff
report
on
Chautauqua,
so
the
Senators,
the
other
thing,
was
significantly
higher
than
Chautauqua,
which
came
as
quite
a
surprise
to
me
and
then
looking
at
the
Chautauqua,
a
growth
between
2005
and
15,
it's
greater
than
200
percent.
So
that
gives
us
some
good
information
now.
The
other
thing
that's
very
good.
Is
we
got
these
data
counters
in
the
Senators
area?
L
The
three
of
them
and
raw
data
is
now
available,
so
I've
been
working
with
staff
and
they
sent
me
a
sample
of
the
data.
The
other
day
and
I
was
able
to
just
plot
some
of
it
out
very
easily,
and
so
the
good
data
is
available
today
and
now
I'm
talking
with
staff,
they
say
well,
we
have
the
raw
data,
but
we've
got
to
verify,
correct
it
and
we
won't
have
anything
until
sometime
late
next
year
and
so
that
got
my
attention
pretty
seriously.
L
So
the
steps
of
processing
is
to
read
the
data,
which
is
pretty
easy
in
two
arrays
I
was
able
to
do
in
a
matter
of
ten
minutes
or
so
and
then
look
at
the
data
for
anomalies.
If
there's
a
bad
battery
or
a
sense
of
failure
or
whatever
and
notice
that,
and
then
they
do
some
correcting
for
visual
observations,
they
have.
They
do
a
visual
count
and
then
use
that
to
do
some
corrections
and
then
put
together.
You
know
the
produced
different
fancy,
charts,
showing
everything
so
right
now,
I
reckon
in
a
couple
of
days.
A
L
A
daughter
forty
to
forty-five
years
ago
was
a
junior
ranger,
and
so
we
got
the
stories
from
her
how
she
was
building
water
bars
from
Green,
Mountain
and
so
on.
Riding
in
the
bucket
of
the
year
of
the
earth
moving
stuff
and
so
on.
Choose
Bree
played
a
grand
$3
an
hour,
and
then
the
program
fell
apart,
because
the
city
found
it
was
illegal
for
them
to
pay
the
Junior
Rangers
so
little
money
and
then
somehow
they
came
up
with
some
creative
accounting
and
solves
the
problem.
I
So
before
we
have
a
stop
presentation,
we
just
wanted
to
remind
you
about
the
art
inspired
by
the
land.
Art
exhibit.
You
should
have
gotten
an
invitation
and
that
kicks
off
this
Friday
at
the
library
also
for
the
board
retreat,
that's
scheduled
for
August
29th.
Some
of
you
have-
and
some
of
you
have
not
touched
base
with
Heidi
Brinkman
who'll
be
facilitating.
So
just
a
kind
reminder
if
you
haven't
make
sure
you
connect
with
her,
so
you
can
all
get
by
in
to
have
a
productive
meeting
on
the
29th.

County
and
their
Transportation
Department
and
I'm
leading
the
study
that
is
underway
right
now
and
actually
wrapping
up
pretty
shortly
called
the
state
highway.
Seven
bus,
rapid
transit
and
planning
environmental
linkages
study
so
tonight
we're
gonna
focus
on
the
the
planning
and
environmental
linkages
which
looks
at
the
area
between
75th
Street
in
u.s.
N
287,
looking
at
transportation
improvements
along
that
corridor
to
move
people
through
the
core
safely
and
efficiently
to
identify
transportation
improvements
in
that
in
that
stretch
that
will
meet
our
transportation
demand
and
out
to
2040
and
look
at
a
number
of
other
improvements
that
can
help
facilitate
people
moving
on
the
corridor.
So,
on
our
first
slide
here
we
have
a
purpose
and
need
statement
that
we've
developed
collaboratively
with
our
project
partners.
N
The
purpose
of
the
multimodal
our
proposed
multimodal
transportation
improvements
is
to
address
safety
for
all
users
and
move
people
efficiently
through
the
corridor.
So
the
three
self-explanatory
and
so
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
approach
to
this
study.
So
what
we're
trying
to
do
here
is
identify
improvements
that
are
going
to
actually
help
people
and
not
cost
a
ton
of
money
and
minimize
the
impacts
that
we
have
on
the
adjacent
land
on
either
side
of
the
corridor.
N
A
right-of-way
that
we
have
available
is
pretty
limited
for
this
project,
or
that
we've
identified
is
pretty
limited,
and
so
we
want
to
minimize
any
any
impacts
to
the
greatest
extent
possible.
So
this
first
slide
here
looks
a
little
bit
at
some
data
collection
that
actually
she
did
about
a
year
ago.
This
is
a
vehicle
probe
run.
It
takes
place
at
4:20
in
the
afternoon.
They
did
multiple
runs,
but
basically,
what
it's
showing
here
is
where
the
congestion
is
occurring
currently
on
the
stretch
of
corridor.
N
So
if
you
look
at
it,
you'll
notice
a
beam
here.
Whoops,
look
like
it.
The
circled
areas,
those
are
around
the
95th
and
287
intersections,
and
what
that's
showing
us
is
that
there
is
not
adequate
capacity
to
move
people
through
those
intersections
efficiently.
What
the
arrows
are
pointing
to
are
the
links
between
the
intersections
and
will
you
notice
is
that
traffic
actually
flows
pretty
well.
Even
during
the
worst
traffic
time
during
the
day
in
those
areas,
it's
really
the
intersections
that
we've
identified
as
areas
that
we
want
to
target
for
some
improvements.
N
So
some
of
our
goals
with
this
project,
maintaining
rural
character,
is
very
important.
We've
heard
that
from
our
project
partners,
we
heard
that
from
the
public
seedot
recognizes
that,
so
we
have
pretty
unanimous
support
for
making
improvements
that
that
really
minimize
those
impacts
on
the
rural
character
of
the
road.
N
So
with
this,
some
of
the
the
challenges
that
we
face,
the
transit
travel
time
is
not
competitive
today.
So
if
you
take
the
jump
which
goes
out
to
Lafayette
and
Erie
takes
about
an
hour
during
these
peak
peak
periods,
and
it
takes
about
20
minutes
to
half
an
hour
in
your
personal
vehicle,
so
that's
something
we
want
to
address
with
this
project.
N
Other
things
that
are
to
note
the
transit
service
frequency
is
an
optimal
rate.
Now
it's
about
15
minutes
during
peak
hours,
we
like
to
see
that
a
little
bit
shorter,
so
we'd
like
to
see
more
buses
out
there
and
then
again,
there's
no
safe
facilities
for
cyclists
or
pedestrians
on
the
corridor
as
it
is
today.
N
So
again,
I
really
wanted
to
reiterate
the
primary
goal
of
our
project
and
what
we've
been
communicating
to
the
public
is
that
we
really
it's
important
and
we
recognize
to
maintain
this
rural
character,
and
so
these
next
few
slides
really
kind
of
provide
an
example
of
what
it
would
look
like
if
we
went
to
four
lanes
with
shoulders
B
to
general
purpose
lanes
in
each
direction
and
kind
of
what
the
impacts
could
be.
This
is
a
stretch
just
east
of
95th
Street.
N
N
So
just
going
back,
that's
a
big
change
and
we
really
want
to
avoid
this
kind
of
runway
that
is
showing
here.
You
can
land
a
plane
on
so
the
cross-sections
that
we
are
looking
at
for
this
corridor.
This
is
this
is
basically
showing
the
typical
rate.
Now
what
we
have
out
there
there's
basically
two
12-foot
lanes
very
little,
shoulder
on
either
side
and
then
there's
some
green
space,
our
typical
or
I
guess
average
right-of-way
availability
is
about
64
feet.
N
So
we've
identified
a
number
of
different
alternatives
that
we
think
could
meet
the
needs
moving
into
the
future
for
transportation
and
we're
sure
those
now
the
first
option
out.
There
is
essentially
a
no
build
option.
We'd
be
looking
at
you
know,
maintaining
those
two
general
purpose
lanes,
probably
scabbing
on
some
shoulders
onto
the
outside
they're
a
little
more
significant
than
what
we
have
today,
so
that
some
cyclists
at
least
would
feel
comfortable
riding
on
the
corridor.
N
This
would
increase
the
the
with
a
little
bit,
not
a
huge
huge
amount,
and
in
addition
to
these
things
we
would
probably
do
spot
treatments
at
certain
intersections.
Maybe
a
left
turn
pocket
into
some
of
the
side,
roads
and
some
other
minor
improvements
like
that.
But
essentially,
you
know
it's
a
no
build
with
with
just
some
really
minor
safety
improvements
out
there.
N
We
think
the
path
would
make
cycling
and
walking
and
using
this
space
available
to
more
people,
a
larger
cross-section
of
people
right
now
having
shoulders
on
the
side
of
the
road,
but
the
volumes
of
traffic
out
there,
there's
probably
20%
of
the
population
that
would
be
comfortable
on
that.
We
think
the
the
shared
multi-use
path
would
expand
that
to
much
greater
segment
of
the
population.
N
The
second
alternative
that
we've
kind
of
looked
at
with
this
project
is
adding
essentially
a
12
foot,
shoulder
full
depth
that
we
could
use
as
a
bus
only
Lane
or
in
the
future,
depending
on
on
the
need,
it
could
be
some
sort
of
managed
lane,
with
either
electric
vehicles
or
high-occupancy
vehicle
shared
with
the
bus.
Now
this
we
like
this
option
because
it
provides
a
real
advantage
for
the
bus,
so
if
we
want
our
travel
times
to
be
a
little
bit
lower
for
a
bus,
rapid
transit,
this
would
certainly
accomplish
that.
N
With
this
option,
I
think
it's
important
to
point
out
that
we
would
need
to
do
some
other
hoops,
some
other
things.
One
of
the
things
is
there.
It
wouldn't
be
safe
for
cyclists
to
be
on
the
shoulder
would
be
sharing
it
with
a
bus
knee
of
the
speed
differential,
which
is
pretty
dangerous.
So
this
would
pretty
much
require
some
sort
of
shared
multi-use
path,
and
we
would
like
to
see
that
a
little
bit
separated
from
from
the
corridor.
N
The
final
alternative
that
we're
moving
forward
with
with
this
project
is
a
contra
flow
lane
for
transit,
or
it
could
be
again
some
sort
of
managed
lane.
I
would
like
to
point
out
here
again
we're
looking
out
to
2040,
so
there's
technology
that
we
anticipate
may
be
available.
That
is
not
available
today
so
today,
to
do
something
like
this.
You
would
need
to
have
some
overhead
lights
and
signs,
and
quite
a
bit
of
stuff
out
there
quite
a
bit
of
hardware
in
the
future
with
connected
vehicles
or
something
else.
N
We
may
be
able
to
do
some
sort
of
solution
like
this
much
more
easily
without
the
visual
impacts
that
you
would
have
today.
If
you,
if
you
chose
to
pursue
something
like
this
again,
what
we've
shown
here
is
some
shoulders
on
the
side
of
the
road
and
also
that
shared
multi-use
path
again,
and
so
here,
I
guess:
that's
just
kind
of
reiterates
the
the
points
I
just
made
again.
The
technology
for
something
like
this
to
be
implemented
would
be
really
key,
so
that
vehicle
the
vehicle
communication
infrastructure
the
vehicle.
N
So
with
this
project,
where
L
SMP
fits
and
obviously
OS
NP
owns
quite
a
bit
of
the
property
on
the
north
and
south
of
the
area
between
75th
and
95th,
if
we
were
to
pursue
some
sort
of
multi-use
path,
who
would
certainly
need
to
coordinate
with
OS
NP,
get
your
blessing
understand
how
you
know
you
would
like
to
see
things
done.
Some
of
the
reasons
we
would
like
to
work
with
OS
MP
potentially
use
some
of
that
right-of-way
is
again.
N
It
would
provide
an
east-west
connection
that
really
doesn't
exist
right
now
for
northern
Boulder
Valmont
is
an
option
for
people
to
cycle
on
again
I
think
you
would
need
to
be
one
of
the
more
comfortable
cyclists,
because
the
traffic
speeds
are
pretty
high
on
Valmont.
The
shoulder
exists,
but
it's
not
huge,
particularly
when
you
get
a
little
bit
further
east
Isabel.
N
It's
more
scenic,
it's
safer
and
in
the
future,
we
envision
this
to
potentially
connect
with
the
existing
path
on
that
kind
of
terminates
at
75th
Street
now,
so
it
kind
of
goes
along
Arapaho
West
of
75th,
and
the
other
idea
that
we've
included
with
this
project
is
our
understanding
is
that
OS
MP
at
some
point
would
like
to
create
some
sort
of
underpass
at
Dry
Creek,
and
we
think
that
that
can
be
incorporated
into
this
design.
So
right
now
we're
not
showing
any
any
kind
of
alignment.
N
K
G
N
A
G
O
We
are
in
active
conversations
with
RTD
which
actually
now
owns
that
vacant
or
unused
rail
alignment
right
now,
too
master
planning
process
to
install
the
trail
along
that
right-of-way
and
we've
been
working
with
your
staff
to
understand
what
the
implications
might
be
as
a
significant
portion
of
that
right
away
does
run
through
open
space
and
on
parks,
right-of-way
and
property,
much
of
it
very
environmentally
sensitive,
though
of
the
white
rocks
area.
So
we
are
kicking
off
a
master
planning
process
that
will
involve.
O
You
know,
include
your
staff,
obviously,
and
when
we
work
through
those
issues,
I'll
be
coming
back
to
you,
with
whatever
recommendations
might
be
necessary.
One
of
the
challenges
we
have
to
work
through
with
our
TV
is
there.
They
seem
amenable
to
allowing
us
to
use
their
right-of-way
as
long
as
we're
not
on
the
elevated
portion
of
the
tracks,
and
they
were,
they
seemed
open
to
using
the
portion
of
the
right-of-way.
Not
that
is
not
elevated.
Unfortunately,
that's
also
where
there's
the
greatest
environmental
wetlands
impact.
O
So
that's
one
of
the
challenges
we'll
be
having
to
work
through
with
you
and
your
staff
and
RTD
as
we
move
forward.
We
anticipate
putting
putting
the
master
plan
out
for
consultant
help
over
in
the
next
few
months
and
kicking
off
this
year
on
that
master
planning
effort,
in
addition
to
what
we're
doing
with
state
highway
7.
K
O
But
I
think
that's
something
that
we're
continuing
to
have
to
work
through
is
ownership
of
the
easements
and
underlying
property.
It's
can
be
very
confused
and
interchanges
throughout
the
corridor.
I
start
understanding
that
RTD
owns
that
right-of-way,
but
I
think
we
need
to
work
through
with
your
staff
to
make
sure
that
there's
a
common
understanding
of
who
has
rights
for
what?
What
use
the
the
conceptual
the
entire
right-of-way
would
connect
to
the
the
work
that
you,
you
and
your
staff
are
doing
at
61st,
Nero.
O
D
O
So
that's
one
of
the
major
concerns
and
they
want
to
keep
the
option
open
enough
should,
at
some
point
in
the
future
rail
be
justified
that
that
they
could
still
use
it.
We've
told
them
that
will
should
that
happen.
We'd
be
happy
to
realign
that
track.
Are
there
a
trail
at
that
time?
But
those
are
some
of
the
issues
we
need
to
work
through.
I,
don't
see
rail
on
that
corridor
and
in
our
lifetimes.
So
so,
thanks
for
the
interest
in.
J
N
J
N
M
We're
also
happy
to
provide
updated
information
since
that
time,
I
believe
the
date
on
the
report
it
may
have
been
finalized
before
we
started
working
on
our
actual
inventory
process.
So
it's
great
that
we're
pulling
that
information
together
now
and
we
might
have
some
updates
that
could
be
more
applicable.
Okay,.
J
Thank
you.
So
my
other
question
is
I.
Think
it's
geared
more
towards
this
board
and
the
city
staff.
But
you
know
section
of
this
report
is
talking
about
existing
noise,
sensitive
areas
and
Sadat's
noise
abatement
criteria
and
there's
this
criterion
use
category
a
their
lands
on
which
serenity
and
quieter
of
extraordinary
significance.
Yada
yada
yada.
J
So
this
sounds
very
much
like
an
open
space
charter
purpose
yeah
in
all
the
categorization
of
our
open
space
lands
it
was
deemed
as
agricultural,
which
comes
with
a
different
noise
noise
abatement
criteria,
designation,
that's
a
little
lower
on
the
on
the
ladder
here.
So
my
question
to
you
is:
do
you
want
to
bring
this
up
with
the
county
to
have
them?
Consider
some
of
our
properties,
not
strictly
agricultural
or
you
know
what
what
are
the
purposes
of
the
particular
open
space
lands
adjacent
to
this
corridor?
I.
P
Would
just
say
that,
currently,
those
lands
are
almost
entirely
agricultural,
with
virtually
no
recreational
use,
except
for
the
area
up
by
teller,
which
maybe
that
is
one
that
we
should
consider
currently,
but
as
we
work
with
the
county
on
any
designs
for
the
area
and
if
recreational
use
were
to
increase
or
be
added
to,
and
that
would
definitely
be
a
consideration
here
as
to
the
noise
abatement
for
those
types
of
uses.
Less
of
a
concern
for
the
agricultural
yeah.
J
P
J
A
N
I
think
the
next
steps
with
the
study
itself
is
we're.
Gonna
receive
a
draft
version
of
the
study
and
the
planning
environmental
linkages
and
provide
comments
and
feedback.
We'd
certainly
be
happy
to
send
it
to
the
OSP
staff,
to
have
your
review
and
make
sure
everything
is
copasetic
with
within
our
study
and
then
yeah
wrapping
it
up.
Next
steps
or
follow-up
activities
for
the
planning
and
environmental
linkages
which
is
focused
on
this.
This
area
is
really
identifying
it
and
getting
into
more
detail
about
the
specific
improvements
we
want
to
pursue
in
the
next.
N
You
know
five,
five
to
ten
years,
I
would
say
and
I
would
say
some
sort
of
ongoing
conversation
with
open
space,
about
a
potential
multi-use
path
and
and
I,
don't
know
exactly
how
that
process
would
proceed,
but
we'd
be
working
with
the
city
of
Boulder
and
open
space
to
to
make
sure
that
that
continues
and
we
continue
to
have
coordination
and
collaboration.
So
I.
J
Actually
had
a
question
in
regards
to
timeline
and
I'm.
Sorry,
if
it
was
in
this
report,
but
I
mean,
is
there
funding
available
that
once
there's
a
plan
to
move
forward,
or
is
this
one
of
those
plans
and
then
go
look
for
funding
kind
of.
N
This
is
one
of
those
plans
and
they
go
look
for
funding.
So
the
idea
with
this
is
we
were
doing
this.
The
bus,
rapid
transit
study.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
Colorado
Department
of
Transportation
did
a
planning
and
environmental
linkages
that
went
from
Brighton
East
are
less
to
287
and
when
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
had
that
last
section
planned
for
and
we
had
identified
projects
and
solutions
in
there.
N
A
So
when
in
eight
people
and
the
50th,
the
plans
for
the
50
attend
and
I
appreciate
that
Abby
brought
the
art
inspired
by
that
land
exhibit,
and
that's
this
Friday
from
six
day,
there's
some
great
great
pieces
there
and
then
we're
gonna.
We
have
finally
set
the
day
and
the
party
for
the
November
7th.
We
were
back
and
forth
with
the
theater,
but
we've
got
that
going
now
and
that's
six
to
ten
and
then
we're
working
on
a
video
that
has
all
the
moments
of
open
space
and
that's
coming
along
really.
A
Well,
it
sounds
kind
of
exciting
and
then
I
found
out
that
the
old
Greenbelt
poster
we're
gonna
be
reprinting
that
and
we
found
a
good
reproduction
for
that.
So
that'll
be
great
and
I
did
kind
of
one
over
in
mind.
That
was
reminded
to
me
that
you
know
part
of
the
tax
that
was
passed
was
for
transportation
as
well,
so
we're
actually
kind
of
celebrating
the
fiftieth
year
with
that,
so
I
thought
I.
That
was
noteworthy
and
that's
about
it
does.
A
A
K
Questions
on
that
subject,
I
guess:
I'd
welcome,
just
kind
of
completely
closing
the
loop
from
where
we
left
this
at
the
end
of
last
meeting
I
think
you
were
going
to
look
at
the
question
of
whether
we
had
any
role
in
any
of
this
I
don't
know
if
this
is
all
whether
this
has
all
been
closed,
and
you
know
determined
that
there
was
definitely
an
error
and
your
view
that
we
don't
have
any
role
in
this.
So.
I
That's
what
we
did
in
follow-up,
given
the
questions
that
we
heard
during
last
session.
We
followed
up
with
planning
and
realized
or
affirmed
that
the
boundary
error
was
a
result
of
incorrect
mapping
based
on
the
Silverlake,
ditch
location
and
that's
what
was
evidenced
in
the
early
1970s
maps
in
the
ditch
line
was
the
deciding
boundary
of
what
was
supposed
to
be
for
open
space
or
non
open
space
purpose.
I
So
we
did
clarify
that
with
them
and
what's
happening
is
that
air
is
being
processed
concurrently
with
development
review,
which
is
why
it
kind
of
came
up
as
part
of
the
311
mapleton
process
and
given
that
what
we
feel
is
again
that
it's
an
error
in
that
the
Planning
Board
in
the
City
Council.
Are
the
decisions,
make
decision
makers
as
it
really?
It's
so
correcting
and
updating
that
error
and
there
there
is
no
action
by
the
board
and
so
as
soon
as
those
dates
get
scheduled.
I
That
would
be
the
opportunity
for
anyone
in
the
public
who
feels
otherwise
to
go
and
participate
through
through
those
public
hearings
to
be
heard
either
at
Planning,
Board
or
City
Council.
Very
appreciative
of
folks
interest
and
concern
in
the
topic,
but
we
definitely
encourage
them
to
pursue
if,
if
they
have
a
difference
of
opinion
in
those
other
forums,
as
it's
not
matter
for
us
here,.
O
I
Okay,
so
if
there's
not
other
matters,
we
do
actually
have
presentation
and
public
hearing
on
the
operating
budget,
so
we
will
have
Lauren
kil
coin.
Our
business
services
supervisor
join
us
as
a
continuation
of
last
month's
discussion
and
do
questions
and
then
public
hearing
and
then
hopefully
get
to
a
recommended
motion
for
you
all.
Q
Lauren
kil
coin
business
services
supervisor
is
Abby
said
here
to
talk
about
the
operating
budget,
and
this
is
our
fifth
budget
presentation.
This
year,
our
first
three
starting
in
April,
were
focused
on
our
CIP,
the
2018,
to
2023
capital
improvement
program.
Last
month,
when
we
were
here,
we
switched
our
focus
to
the
operating
budget
and
that's
what
we'll
be
talking
about
again
tonight
and,
like
Abby
said,
we'll
have
the
public
hearing,
discussion
and
recommendation.
Q
Okay
and
tonight's
presentation
we're
gonna
provide
some
additional
context
around
the
development
of
the
operating
budget
go
through
some
of
the
highlights
from
last
month,
particularly
we
had
several
questions.
Around
FEMA
and
cost
allocation
will
review
again
our
one
budget
request
for
2018,
which
relates
to
our
fixed
term
staffing.
We
have
11
fixed
term
positions
in
the
department
and
we're
kind
of
addressing
those
holistically
through
this
budget
and
then
we'll
have
an
opportunity
for
clarifying
questions
before
the
public
hearing,
and
we
do
have
KT
doling
here.
Who
is
our
executive
budget
officer
and
Devon
Billingsley?
Q
Q
Okay,
so
a
lot
has
actually
changed
since
last
month,
when
we
were
here,
we
just
want
to
go
through
that
a
little
bit.
The
first
is:
we've
received
updated
revenue
projections
for
2017
that
also
affect
2018
in
the
budget
that
we're
talking
about
so
last
month.
When
you
saw
your
fund
financial,
we
were
estimating
net
sales
tax
revenue
for
18.
Q
I
would
say,
things
are
still
very
much
shifting
and
our
partners
in
Budget
and
Finance
have
been
looking
at
national
trends,
statewide
trends
and
then
how
Boulder
plays
in
and
what
we're
seeing
is
that
Boulder
is
behaving
differently
than
the
rest
of
the
state.
So
again,
we're
just
being
I.
Think
extremely
conservative
we're
trying
to
be
appropriate
to
the
situation,
but
the
overall
picture
for
2018
still
looks
very
solid,
we're
still
spending
within
our
annual
revenues,
even
given
the
shift,
the
updated
projection
and
our
approach
is
basically
to
stay.
Q
Also
since
that
meeting.
Since
last
month's
meeting,
the
2018
to
2023
CIP
went
to
Planning
Board
and
received
a
unanimous
recommendation
for
the
citywide
CIP.
We
also
presented
our
operating
budget
to
the
executive
budget
team
in
the
city
and
in
our
budget
request,
and
our
overall
approach
to
the
18
operating
budget
was
approved
so
again
for
2018,
really,
nothing
looks
different.
You're
still.
Looking
at
about
a
twenty
six
million
dollar
operating
budget
for
next
year-
and
this
is
a
slide
that
we
showed
last
month
but
I
just
find
it
helpful
as
a
picture.
Q
So
our
first
three
meetings
for
the
CIP-
we
were
looking
at
that
purple
and
white
blue
section
of
the
graph
and
what
we
mean
when
we
say
our
operating
budget
is
really
the
rest
of
the
pie.
So
we're
talking
about
our
service
area,
budgets,
our
debt
service
and
our
cost
allocation,
and
you
can
see
a
little
bit
more
of
a
break
out
of
those
things
currently
428.
Our
debt
service
is
5.2
million
dollars.
Q
We
mentioned
last
month
that
is
expected
to
significantly
go
down
over
the
next
couple
of
years,
we'll
be
making
our
final
payments
on
our
o
6
+,
o
7
bonds.
So
beyond
2020
you'll
see
our
debt
service
really
decrease,
and
then
this
is
just
a
further
breakdown
of
the
service
area
budgets.
To
make
the
point
that
we're
really
working
to
best
steward
those
public
dollars
make
sure
that
they
reach
the
ground
appropriately
in
our
public.
Q
You
know
all
of
our
public
facing
departments,
so
our
work
groups
rather
and
that's
all
I'll-
say
about
the
breakdown
they're
shifting
to
FEMA
and
flood
recovery.
This
was
a
big
topic
of
last
month's
conversation
and
you
had
asked
us
for
some
numbers,
so
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
provide
them
for
you
and
just
an
overall
reminder
that
FEMA
reimburses
us
about
75%
of
our
project
expenditures
and
that's
just
on
projects
that
our
FEMA
eligible
eligible
for
FEMA
reimbursement,
the
state
of
Colorado,
contributes
another
12
and
a
half
percent.
Q
So
overall
we're
looking
at
about
eighty
seven
and
a
half
percent
reimbursement
on
those
FEMA
reimbursable
flood
recovery
projects.
You
have
asked
what
the
current
estimate
is
for
the
cost
of
recovering
from
this
flood.
So
from
the
citywide
perspective,
Resta
meeting
about
twenty
eight
million
dollars
of
that
28
million
24.6
has
already
been
spent
and
open
space
is
really
the
last
department.
That's
doing
flood
recovery
work.
Q
There
are
a
couple
projects
here
and
there
across
other
city
departments
that
are
getting
wrapped
up,
but
because
of
where
our
projects
fell
in
the
floodplain
very
extensive,
permitting
processes
you'll
see
that
a
number
of
our
most
expensive
projects
are
happening
right
now,
so
amazin,
shanahan
and
Chautauqua.
Those
types
of
projects
really
had
to
wait
until
this
year
to
be
done,
so
we're
still
on
track.
We're
still
figuring
the
end
of
this
year
for
our
FEMA
reimbursable
projects
and
after
that,
we'll
start
to
submit
those
request
for
reimbursement
for
the
remainder
of
those
dollars.
Q
Q
And
your
final
question
about
FEMA
had
been
have
we
seen
any
of
this
money
come
back
yet,
and
the
city
of
Boulder
as
a
whole
has
received
ten
point,
two
million
back
in
reimbursement
of
that
one
point:
five
million
is
OSP
and
we
had
gone
back
and
forth
about
why
we
weren't
reflecting
FEMA
reimbursement
numbers
and
2016
as
actuals
and
I
did
speak
with
our
city
controller
last
week.
Who
confirmed
that
a
lot
of
the
reimbursement
requests
we
had
submitted
last
year?
Q
The
dollars
came
in
in
January,
so
so
far
this
year,
we've
seen
another
1.4
million
that
you
don't
see
reflected
in
your
fund
financial,
but
that
has
since
hit
our
account
this
year.
So
by
the
end
of
17,
I
expect
to
be
able
to
show
those
as
actuals
and
some
additional
dollars
from
some
of
these
projects
that
we'll
be
closing
out
just.
Q
Things
are
going
not
gonna
would
very
much
to
plan
that
eighty
seven
and
a
half
percent
is
gonna,
come
pretty
close
to
seven
million
dollars.
We're
expecting
and
the
turnaround
on
that
reimbursement
has
been
reasonable,
fairly
timely.
We
do
keep
a
reserve
for
a
number
of
years,
as
as
FEMA
can
come
back
and
audit
any
of
our
projects.
Seven
years
from
when
the
final
project
on
the
project,
worksheet
is
complete,
very
specific,
so
we'll
be
holding
I
think
if
it
gets
up
to
almost
$400,000
a
year
in
reserves
on
the
off
chance.
Q
They
come
back
audit
and
disallow
some
costs
right
now.
We're
not
anticipating
that
at
all
and
the
reimbursements
we've
received
have
gone
very
well,
their
review
of
our
scope,
changes
and
our
project
expenditures,
so
all
is
well
so
far
and
we
have
great
support
from
the
flood
recovery
team
from
the
city.
Thank.
Q
Okay
and
then
cost
allocation
was
the
other
highlight
from
last
month
and
just
to
reiterate,
the
model
has
not
changed
from
last
year
we
got.
We
have
a
commitment
from
from
finance
to
update
the
cost
allocation
model
every
two
to
three
years
that
happened
last
year
through
the
budget
process
and
across
the
board.
You're
seeing
departments
have
a
three
percent
inflationary
increase
across
all
funds,
including
ours,
so
no
change
to
the
way
that
number
is
made
up,
except
to
provide
that
three
percent
inflationary
increase
and
when
this
model
was
created.
Q
Last
year
we
had
the
consultant
come
to
the
board
and
explain
it,
and
he
demonstrated
that
though
OS
n
PE
was
11
percent
of
the
budget.
We
were
only
being
allocated
about
6.7%
of
costs
in
the
overall
cost
allocation
model,
so
the
other
thing
that
came
up
last
month
was
about
duplication.
How
do
we
ensure
we're
not
duplicating
our
efforts,
the
service
providing
departments
in
o
SMP
and
the
process
that
considering
the
process?
The
consultant
goes
out
and
interviews
all
the
service
providing
departments
what
services
you
do
provide
who
uses
them?
Q
How
do
you
partner
with
these
other
departments
in
the
city
that
is
put
into
a
model?
That's
then
shared
with
OS
MP,
and
we
have
the
opportunity
to
review
it
in
detail
in
comment
and
push
back
in,
make
sure
that
our
edits
are
incorporated,
but
just
so
you
can
see
a
couple
of
the
things
that
we
look
at.
This
is
a.
Hopefully
you
can
see
it.
Okay,
this
is
a
chart
of
it.
Q
Just
has
four
examples
for
service
providing
departments,
so
you
can
kind
of
see
that
the
service
providing
department
really
has
the
expertise
and
the
more
difficult
parts
of
that
that
departments
work
versus
what
we're
providing
as
a
service
receiving
department,
for
example,
with
HR
the
HR
department
is
doing
all
of
our
labor
relations.
All
of
our
negotiations
with
unions
policy,
setting
laws
with
Affordable
Care
Act
and
living
wage
they've
really
been
rolling
out
the
training
making
sure
we're
in
compliance
versus
what
we
do
at
OS
MP,
which
would
be
something
like
candidate
selection
policy.
Q
We
designed
the
process
through
which
we
choose,
who
we
want
to
hire
from
there.
Hr
would
take
it
over
and
do
salary
negotiations
make
sure
we're
looking
at
comps
in
the
city
and
externally.
So
we're
really
doing
the
things
at
the
department
level
and
then
moving
it
through
the
process
to
HR
to
take
that
that
deeper
dive
make
sure
we're
being
consistent
following
laws
and
regulations.
Q
So
I
won't
go
through
the
specifics
in
each
of
these
I
mean
there
are
a
couple
other
examples,
for
example
with
finance
finances,
doing
all
of
our
governmental
and
grant
reporting
our
financial
statements.
What
our
business
services
team
does
is
enter
contract
details
into
our
financial
system,
pay
bills
receive
on
our
receivables.
So
it's
much
more
of
a
daily
operations
role
than
that
systemic
planning,
strategic
level
decisions
and
discussions
that
happen
at
the
service
providing
Department
level.
The
final
example
I'll
give
is
for
IT.
Q
You
can
see
the
bottom
bullet
data,
security
and
storage
and
IT
is
charged
with
keeping
a
very
incredible
it's
incredible
infrastructure
and
really
vast
network.
That
makes
sure
that
that
makes
sure
all
our
data
is
secure
versus
what
our
Ras
team
might
do
with
our
map
being
in
GIS
and
our
web
presence
working
on
our
interactive
trail
maps.
Q
So
when
we
continue
to
go
back
to
staff
and
say,
do
you
see
any
duplication,
they
kind
of
say
no,
it's
very
clear
to
us
what
our
role
is
versus
the
expertise
of
that
service
providing
department
and
when
we
go
to
them.
So
for
what
that's
worth,
we
just
wanted
to
provide
some
additional
detail
and
some
examples
for
you
to
look
at
okay
and
finally
shifting
to
staffing.
Q
We
have
been
focusing
since
2015
on
our
organizational
assessment
since
2015,
we
have
systematically
gone
through
every
standard
job
description
in
the
department
that
hadn't
been
updated
to
make
sure
the
job
description
is
accurate.
That
position
is
classified
appropriately
paid
appropriately.
It's
been
an
unbelievable
effort
on
the
part
of
staff
to
make
that
happen
and
we're
by
the
end
of
this
year,
we'll
have
done
a
hundred
percent
of
our
our
job
studies,
which
is
incredible
and
Abi's
led
that
effort
for
all
of
us.
Q
The
only
thing
that
really
remained
after
looking
at
Affordable,
Care,
Act,
seasonals
and
temped
standards
was
our
fixed
term
staffing
category
and
we
have
11
fixed
term
positions
in
the
department,
nine
of
which
expire
this
year,
two
which
expire
next
year,
but
we
know
based
on
assessments
that
we
need
them
now
and
so
we're
attempting
to
convert
them
now
through
this
budget
process
of
the
eleven
will
be
expiring.
Four,
so
three
of
those
were
hired
on
the
job
for
succession
planning.
Q
Those
retirements
are
scheduled
to
happen
like
we
thought
we
thought
that
they
would
and
those
those
fixed
term
staff
have
been
cross-training
since
they've
been
here
to
prepare
to
take
over
that
role
when
those
folks
retire.
The
fourth
is
flood
recovery,
Trails,
Program,
lead
and
with
flood
wrapping
up,
and
we've
done
some
assessments
of
long-term
needs
and
staffing
to
take
care
of
our
trail
system.
Q
That
position
will
no
longer
be
needed
by
the
department,
so
we'll
be
expiring
that
at
the
end
of
the
year,
but
then
there
are
seven
left
and
all
seven
of
those
really
work
directly
on
stewardship
activities.
In
line
with
that
theme
of
shifting
to
stewardship,
so
you
can
see
three
trails
program
leads
a
trail
contract
supervisor,
one
ecologist,
a
cultural
resource
coordinator
and
a
wildlife
coordinator.
Q
A
I
had
one
well
I
have
a
couple
one
concept
that
I
want
to
clarify:
he
is
once
the
taxes
sunset.
Our
contribution
to
the
from
the
general
button
will
not
exist
anymore
right.
That's.
Q
A
So
when
I
look
at
the
I
mean
cost
allocations,
just
my
thing,
it
just
seems
so
high
in
so
many
way.
He
said
it's
tripled
since
2006,
which
is
very
concerning
how
we
adjust
that
I
I
see
what
you're
saying
about
the
IT
yet
in
the
places,
but
I
just
wish.
There
was
a
better
way
for
us
to
turn
down
some
of
these
dependencies
and
bring
more
of
this
level
into
Oh
S&P
daily
operations.
But
it
seems
to
me,
like
you've,
been
trying
to
do
that
and
look
at
those
are
there
any
it.
A
It
doesn't
include
legal
that
I
understand
that
we
have
lot
illegal
necessities
from
looking
at
her
conservation,
easements
and
all
the
way
down.
Is
there
any
way
to
I
mean
what
are
your
thoughts
for
looking
ahead
for
a
master
plan,
this
is
a
pretty
big
yet
and
when
I
figured
it
out,
2020
will
be
at
eight
point
nine
percent
of
our
cost
allocation
and
that's
that's
a
lot
of
our
budget.
A
So
it's
it's
a
trend,
that's
very
concerning
and
when
I
look
at
you
know,
I
know
that
it's
a
six
point,
six
percent
that
we
allocate.
A
I
It
it
is
for
sure
enough
we're
trying,
just
because,
based
on
the
method
and
how
its
projected
and
the
cost
of
increasing
business
right
what
it
is.
Last
month,
we
highlighted
the
growth
in
the
FTE
and
the
staff,
and
a
lot
of
that
was
to
take
care
of
our
operations.
Research
field
work,
but
there's
also
a
big
need
to
run
run
the
business
of
the
department
so
provide
financial
services.
I
Is
there
a
way
to
find
the
answers
within
the
department
before
you
reach
out
to
HR
or
before
you
reach
out
to
the
attorney?
So
can
you
get
some
of
those
answers
to
your
questions
internally
before
you
reach
out
to
the
service
providing
departments
who
are
allocating
the
costs
so
we're
aware
of
it?
We
also
are
understanding
that,
just
in
general,
the
city
has
grown,
and
the
experience
that
we
need
to
be
a
well-run
city
requires
a
lot
of
different
staff
that
we
haven't
had
in
the
past
ten
years,
and
so
we've
grown
and
I.
I
Think
the
expectation
on
the
community
is
to
really
provide
services
in
a
manner
that
is
responsible
and
to
have
again
those
expertise
in
house
full
time
when
they're
not
always
needed
on
a
full-time
basis
as
a
hard
one
to
balance
so
not
feeling
great
about
it.
It
is
the
cost
we're
feeling
like
we
have
an
opportunity
to
weigh
in
make
course
corrections
where
it
makes
sense,
but
also
kind
of
be
limited
or
kind
of
minimize
the
use
of
the
service
providing
departments
if
we
can
help
ourselves
within
the
department
when
it's
possible.
