So
our
first
page,
the
methodology
we
had
our
three
engagement
windows
and
each
engagement
windows.
We
focused
on
connecting
with
different
youth
and
different
peers
from
different
schools.
So
we
first
started
small
within
our
own
yob
group,
where
our
students
from
our
own
leadership
team,
took
the
survey
and
kind
of
had
it
like
a
general
background
on
what
the
survey
encompassed
and
kind
of
two
different
things
that
are
involved
under
each
subcategory.
So
then
after
weakens
confirmed
our
methodology
and
kind
of
our
findings.
E
So
this
bar
graph
is
kind
of
the
general
findings
that
we
received
from
our
surveys
and,
as
you
can
see,
our
data
poll
is
slightly
limited,
but
we
still
had
pretty
good
distribution
of
data
and
our
top
three
most
popular
concerns
or
choices
that
came
from
the
surveys
were
the
scenery
and
natural
resources,
as
well
as
water
and
flood
resources.
So
these
were
the
general
focus
well
as
other
topics
such
as
acquisitions
and
fundings,
and
other
smaller
categories
still
got
student
feedback,
but
were
less
important
overall
in
this
series,
all
right.
E
So
the
first
slide
that
we
focused
on
was
Natural
Resources,
and
this
one
was
a
very
popular
concern
for
a
lot
of
you
throughout
you
in
Boulder
and
Fairview,
and
some
of
the
general
concerns
that
students
have
were
regarding
biodiversity,
conservation
and
preservation
of
endangered
species.
So
I
think,
particularly
in
our
generation.
E
There's
a
large
focus
on
kind
of
under
climate
change,
the
preservation
and
of
preserving
these
endangered
species,
or
that
would
otherwise
become
endangered
in
future
years,
especially
since
the
younger
generation
is
witnessing
a
rapid
change
in
our
world
and
there's
an
increased
desire
to
kind
of
help.
These
threatened
species
or
kind
of
preserve
them
and
save
them
for
future,
and
another
focus
was
the
managing
of
healthy
ecosystems
and
promotion
of
biodiversity.
E
So
since
we
got
so
many
responses
under
the
natural
resources
category,
we
kind
of
split
it
into
more
detail.
So,
as
you
can
see,
biodiversity
and
biodiversity
and
other
subcategories
are
kind
of
divided
evenly,
depending
on
the
Student
Response
and
again,
like
I
said
previously.
The
preservation
and
conservation
piece
remains
a
very
large
part
of
student
body
concern.
F
All
right,
so
next
I'm
going
to
be
doing
agriculture,
so,
as
you
guys
know
about
the
farmers
market
and
how
important
agriculture
is
to
our
boulder
community,
this
is
a
not
a
huge
thing
within
teens
but
kind
of
in
the
middle.
So
some
of
the
key
things
for
agriculture
were
that
teens
have
said
was
the
cost
of
food
is
being
transported
so
supporting
local
farmers
is
like
a
pretty
good
thing.
F
Obviously,
some
hopes
that
that
people
will
take
local
farming
more
seriously,
less
of
like
a
type
of
thing
you
take
for
granted
and
how
how
our
open
space
many
people
don't
really
even
know
that
there's
like
farming
and
agriculture
on
our
open
space.
So
a
lot
of
people
want
to
keep
growing
more
food
and
take
it
more
seriously
and
some
concerns
that
students
had
were
providing
affordable
means
of
healthy
food
to
rest
to
lessen
processed
food
consumption.
This
was
like
a
pretty
big
thing.
F
In
funding,
and
so
a
lot
of
people
surprisingly
enough,
didn't
really
know
very
much
about
the
acquisitions
and
funding
for
OS
MP.
They
didn't
realize
how
much
of
how
much
goes
into
this
and
how
much
money
actually
goes
into
OS
MP.
So
some
important
key
points
that
students
said
is
that
none
of
the
other
things
can
really
work.
It's
kind
of
what
keeps
or
something
going
without
the
money
and
funding.
We
won't
have
the
opportunity
to
clean
up
trails
and
build
trails.
Even
some
hopes
for
the
future
is
that
we
actually
expand.
F
E
So
some
of
the
specific
things
that
we
received
were
avoiding
multi-story
buildings
and
that
also
plays
into
the
scenery
subcategory
that
I
will
go
into
next,
but
sometimes
students
feel
like
the
increase
of
a
lot
of
urban
buildings,
either
in
downtown
or
in
just
general
neighborhoods
they've
begun
to
kind
of
invade
the
natural
areas
and
they've
also
blocked
either
the
Flatirons
or
kind
of
pushed
into
too
far
into
the
natural
areas.
So
a
lot
of
the
concerns
were
to
kind
of
create
more
limitations
in
these
over
developing
areas
and
kind
of
maintained.
E
What
unique
aspects
that
Boulder
house
so
like
I
said
the
next
slide
that
we're
going
to
is
the
scenery
category
and
similar
to
what
I
said
about
the
multi-story
buildings.
People
want
kind
of
less
disturbance
and
more
opportunities
for
the
views
and
scenery
to
be
seen,
and
that
could
either
be
preserving
the
unique
features
and
keeping
wildlife,
water,
rivers
and
those
things
pristine
and
kind
of
untouched
from
the
urban
areas.
So
that
was
a
very
large
focus
that
students
has.
E
So
it
keeps
going
back
to
this
like
managing
healthy
ecosystems
and
kind
of
the
preservation
piece,
and
that
can
be
difficult
under
development,
so
kind
of
a
general
concern
that
students
have
was
to
keep
what
we
have
right
now,
and
this
was
a
less
popular
subcategory.
But
cultural
resources
was
still
a
very
important
one
that
we
got
some
students,
responses
for,
and
some
of
the
focuses
were
kind
of
keeping
the
history
of
Boulder
alive
and
also
becoming
more
aware
and
also
educating.
E
Maybe
the
younger
generation
about
the
history
of
Boulder
and
some
student
feedback
was
maybe
talking
about
the
gold
rush
or
the
Native
American
histories
such
as
the
southern
Arapaho
tribe,
that
initially
came
to
Boulder
and
stuff
like
this.
That
has
a
lot
of
cultural
significance
and
value
a
lot
of
students
that
should
be
kept
because
they
will
be
lost
in
future
generations
if
not
enforced
and
educated.
Now,.
F
F
So
some
important
key
things
that
students
had
said
were
like
one
for
the
importance.
This
is
important
to
me,
because
water
was
really
a
valuable
resource
that
is
taken
for
granted
and
we
were
running
out
of
it
and
I
think
that
that
was
like
kind
of
something
that
hit
home
because
I'm
from
California
and
there's
a
drought
and
so
having
water
is
like
a
really
important
thing
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
follow
that
in
to
Boulder
kind
of
some
hopes
before.
F
That
is
that
everyone
will
have
access
and
do
it
and
people
have
more
of
an
appreciation
for
it,
since
it
is
taken
for
granted
so
much
and
some
concerns
that
students
had
so
that
pollution
that
pollution
doesn't
endanger
fish
in
our
creeks
in
the
wetlands.
Fly-Fishing
is
a
very
big
thing
and
that's
we're
eating.
It
could
endanger
us.
F
F
The
next
one
was
visitor
enjoyment
and
visitor
enjoyment
is
really
important
for
Boulder
visitors
come
from
all
over
the
world
to
see
our
open
space
and
teams
think
that
it's
find
it
really
important
to
like
it's
an
activity
that
students
do
on
the
weekend.
Some
important
things
that
students
said
it's
one
of
the
greatest
things:
Boulder
has
to
offer
it's
beautiful,
our
open
spaces,
and
it's
awesome
that
we
have
the
opportunity
and
kind
of
tying
back
into
what
Quan
was
saying
earlier.
F
F
And
finally,
we
have
connections
with
nature,
so
team
seen
one
seem
to
want
to
be
more
educated
about
osm
P.
So
when
we
were
giving
out
surveys
and
stuff
at
Boulder
high,
so
many
people
didn't
even
know
that
there
was
an
organization
called
OS
MP.
They
know
about
the
open
space,
they
know
about
the
mountains,
they
know
about
the
trails,
but
they
don't
necessarily
know
all
the
work
that
goes
into
OS,
NP
and
so
I
think
that
a
lot
of
students
want
it
to
be
educated
about
the
about
OS
MP
and
about
open
space.
F
A
lot
more
there's
not
really
opportunity.
There
is
opportunities,
but
it's
not
as
targeted
for
teens
from
what
I've
seen
to
kind
of
join
and
get
more
connected
with
nature.
So
a
big
quote
is
that
somebody
for
importance.
Somebody
said
I
like
knowing
that
we
can
connect
with
nature
the
opportunity
to
take
a
hike
or
just
breathe
in
the
fresh
air
and
see
the
mountains.
F
I
know
I'm
sure
all
of
you
guys
can
agree
with
that,
seeing
as
you
guys
live
in
Boulder,
some
hopes
from
teens
were
to
gain
appreciation
for
the
mountains
and
the
open
space
and
all
of
this
beautiful
land
that
we
have
and
some
concerns
are
that
people
don't
care
as
much
about
about
classes.
They
care
a
lot
more
about
nature,
but
not
about
educating
people
as
much
I
think
we
really
need
to
focus
on
this
more
and
this
kind
of
touches
with
what
I
was
saying
to
start
with.
Thank
you.
E
And
I
feel
like,
ultimately,
it's
going
back
to
Natalya's
point
about
connections
with
nature.
Youth
just
want
more
opportunities
to
be
engaged
within
the
community,
especially
under
open
space.
So
it's
something
such
as
connecting
with
nature,
maybe
you've
more
youth
opportunities
for
youth
to
be
involved
in
either
trail
maintenance
or
other
events.
So
our
school
personally
had
this
preservation
and
conservation
thing
with
seed
bonds,
where
we
got
to
distribute
native
seeds
and
kind
of
wildflower
wildflower
plants
into
threatened
areas
or
areas
that
are
in
need
of
recovery.
E
A
I
would
strongly
encourage
you,
if
you're
so
intended
to
stay
involved
with
this
there's
another
year
or
half
a
year
and
a
half
horse
so
left
in
this
project
to
help
now
sort
of
define
what
a
lot
of
that
future
will
look
like
in
the
future
that
your
open
space
would
look
like
any
questions
or
comment.
I
would.
C
Just
add
on
to
that
that
your
ability
to
get
people
young
people
interested
in
something
called
master
planning
is
pretty
remarkable.
We
have
a
hard
time,
sometimes
getting
anybody
to
be
master
planning.
So
anyway,
we
thank
you
and
yeah
I
hope
you
can
stay
involved
in
the
volunteer
activities
and
pretty
soon
start
putting
together
your
applications
for
open
space
board
of
trustees.
G
And
if
I
could
just
jump
in
for
a
second
I'd
like
to
thank
the
youth
opportunity,
Advisory
Board
and
these
students
chose
this
project.
This
was
their
choice
to
pursue
this
and
really
appreciate
the
time
that
you
put
in
growing
up
a
boulder.
Also
helped
us
pull
this
together
and
do
the
training
for
it
and
I
think
some
lollipops
might
have
been
involved.
Is
that
right
that
helped
get
some
of
the
survey
response
and
also
we
thought
you
know,
you
see
a
lot
on
paper
but
growing
up,
Boulder
Darren,
Wagner,
Juliette,
Chelsea
Taylor.
G
They
all
worked
to
bring
the
youth
voice
alive
and
rather
than
you
seeing
it
just
on
paper.
We
thought
it
would
be
helpful
and
we
so
appreciate
that
you
took
part
of
your
evening
away
from
your
families,
and
we
wanted
also
that
you
were
able
to
go
early,
so
you
could
get
home
for
dinner.
So
thank
you
so
much.
A
And
thanks
Juliet,
so
I
think
our
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
public
participation
for
items
that
are
not
set
for
public
hearing,
but
since
there's
nothing
set
for
public
hearing,
it's
a
if
you
want
to
speak
to
us
about
anything.
This
is
your
chance.
I
think
there
are
quite
a
few
new
faces
all
very
quickly
go
over
some
of
the
ground
rules.
A
I'll
call
your
name.
You've
got
three
minutes
and
then,
since
there's
quite
a
few
people
who
are
speaking
would
ask
you
to
you
know,
observe
the
three-minute
rule
if
you're
pooling
with
someone
else,
you
get
five
minutes.
Please
state
your
name
and
address
at
the
start
and
for
the
audience
we
request
that
you
not
applaud
or
boo
or
anything
like
that,
you're
free
to
wave
your
hands
with
people
that
you
agree
with,
but
we
want
to
create
an
environment
in
which
everyone,
whether
you
agree
with
them
or
disagree
with
them,
feels
comfortable
speaking
to
us.
A
H
This
is
a
sign
right
there
by
the
goat
trail
and
anyone
that's
hiked.
The
goat
trail
knows
it's
named
goat
trail,
because
it's
very
difficult.
We
have
hikers,
go
off
the
edge
of
this
trail
every
year
or
two
and
incur
serious
dangerous
injuries,
and
it's
posted
for
equine
use
and
there's
a
ridge,
two
ridges
halfway
down
that
that
make
no
that's
the
steepness
of
the
trail
with
the
gulley,
and
there
are
places
like
this
in
the
trail
that
make
it
virtually
impassable
by
horses.
H
This
is
the
East
Ridge
Trail,
with
more
signs
posted
in.
If
a
rider
wouldn't
go
up
there,
not
knowing
the
area
and
try
to
ascend
Mount
Sanitas
on
a
horse,
it
would
be
a
difficult
ride
with
a
lot
of
perils
involved.
This
is
the
Dakota
Ridge
Trail,
and
it
leads
to
the
stair
case,
which
is
not
something
that
you
won't
want
to
ride.
A
horse

H
My
wife's
name
question:
we've
had
horses
our
whole
lives,
but
to
continue
allowing
access
for
equine
use
on
appropriate,
open
space
land
within
the
system,
but
Oh
SMP
should
not
promote
equine
use
on
trails
with
obvious
dangers
to
both
the
horse
and
rider
and
a
sign
showing
horses
are
allowed
in.
The
terrain
is
suitable
and
right
amounts.
Nice,
open
space
represents
it
clear
danger
to
both
horse
and
rider
's
and
should
not
be
promoted
by
OS.
Mp4
equine
use
I'd
ask
the
board
to
look
into
this,
and
there
probably
should
be
some
policy.
H
I
Hi,
my
name
is
Alice
Stark
I'm,
a
local
farmer
at
33,
75,
75th,
Street
I
wanted
to
talk
about
the
fad
land,
that's
managed
by
open
space.
The
vast
majority
of
the
leases
seem
to
be
continually
awarded
to
commodity
farmers
and
hay
farmers
for
horses.
These
leases
are
offered
way
below
the
actual
cost
of
land
ownership
and
local
water
access,
and
therefore
they
represent
a
huge
subsidy
given
to
these
lease
holders.
I
see
two
problems
with
this.
I
I
I
I
If
you
can't
manage
it
properly,
according
to
your
own
principles,
then
you
probably
shouldn't
be
acquiring
more
land
I'm,
also
greatly
concerned
by
the
general
understanding
and
agreement
that
90%
of
all
the
open
space
lease
winners
are
chosen
before
the
beds
are
made
or
read.
I've
been
told
this
by
current
lease
holders,
who
believe
that
they
have
benefited
from
pre-arrangements.
I
I
Farmers
who
do
not
find
the
time
to
create
a
meaningful
plan
are
unlikely
to
take
the
time
to
meaningfully
care
for
their
land.
My
final
concern
they
would
like
to
mention
here
is
both
of
my
farms.
Our
crowd
are
surrounded
by
Boulder,
open
space
city
of
Boulder
open
space.
In
many
ways
this
is
an
angular
situation,
but
it
is
not
an
vehicle
for
us,
as
we
have
not
been
able
to
get
a
lease
on
any
of
these
lands.
I
In
this
case,
the
open
space
program
may
eventually
even
put
us
out
of
business
by
denying
the
ability
to
grow
to
a
sustainable
size
with
even
offered
to
purchase
the
land
with
a
conservation
easement
on
it,
but
there
appears
to
be
no
openness
to
reconnecting
these
farm
headquarters
with
their
historic
fields.
Thank
you
for
your
time,
appreciate
it
right.

Good
evening
trustees,
I'm
Raymond
bridge
for
35
South,
38th
Street
in
Boulder,
speaking
on
behalf
of
Friends
of
Boulder,
open
space.
Since
you
are
considering
both
the
CIP
budget
and
the
master
plan
on
your
agenda
tonight,
we'd
like
to
make
a
point
that
is
relevant
to
both,
and
that
should
also
inform
your
thinking
about
a
number
of
other
matters
during
your
tenure
on
the
board
in
a
year
and
a
half
Oh
SNP
revenues
will
decline,
20
percent
without
even
considering
possible
declines
in
overall
city
sales
tax
receipts.

It
was
black
43,
14
or
13th

Here's
some
photos
from
Colorado's
Dust
Bowl
in
the
1930s.
Here's
a
picture
of

2009.
The
Dust
Bowl
is
happening
again
in
Boulder.
Here
was
a
2017
photo:
oh
s,
mp's
bennett
property
after
a
windstorm.
What
do
all
these
pictures
have
in
common
they're,
all
OS
MP
properties
heavily
infested
with
prairie
dogs
in
this
2017

that

got
from
mr.

before

The

were
on
the
same

the

were

lost
a
whole
lot
of
topsoil
in
the
rain
storm.
As
you
can
see,
here's
some
facts:
the
agricultural
lands
are
no
longer
usable
because
they
are
so
degraded
by
prairie
dogs.
Almost
2,000
acres
of
irrigated
cropland
are
infested
with
prairie
dogs.
That's
about
10%
of
our
SMPS
agricultural
Rance
Wow,
that's
way
more
rounded
than
fracking
will
impact.
K
K
How
do
you
square
that,
with
ignoring
your
thousands
of
acres
of
food,
growing
lands
rendered
unproductive
byproducts,
less
MP
staff
admit
they
are
hoping
for
another
plague
event
to
knock
down
prairie
dog
populations,
because
right
now
that's
the
only
solution
from
a
public
health
perspective,
hoping
that
the
bubonic
plague
the
Black
Death
welcome
to
Boulder
is
kind
of
outrageous.
Don't
you
think
if
humans
cows
we're
destroying
this
much
OS
NP
property,
you
would
be
all
over
it,
but
Bray
dogs
nope,
not
gonna,
do
anything.
You
know
exactly
why
that
is
it's
time
to
control
policy.
K
L
Hello,
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
for
to
address
you
this
evening.
My
name
is
Laura
Tyler
and
with
Boulder
Creek
action
group
and
I
live
on
koala
Drive
in
Boulder
I'm
here
to
thank
you
for
your
past
support
of
flood
mitigation
at
South,
Boulder
Creek,
when
this
came
before
you
last
year
and
as
someone
who
saw
firsthand
the
potential
for
catastrophic
flash
flooding
in
my
neighborhood
when
South
Boulder,
Creek
overtopped
us
36
I
would
like
to
request
your
continued
ongoing
support.
L
It's
my
understanding
that
staff
is
very
hard
at
work
behind
the
scenes,
soliciting
citizen
feedback
and
developing
some
fine-tuned
proposals
for
you
to
consider
next
year.
I'm
excuse
me
later
this
year,
so
hopefully
this
summer,
maybe
yeah
hopefully
this
summer,
so
I
would
just
love
to
ask
that
you
consider
expediency
as
part
of
your
consideration
when
you're
looking
at
these
proposals,
we
know
that
another
flood
is
coming.
We
just
don't
know
when
and
we're
hoping
for
action
sooner
rather
than
later.
Thank
you
thank.
M
Hi
I'm
Rachel
friend
here
on
the
same
topic
as
Laura
just
spoke
on
4895
koala
drive,
is
my
address.
I'm
also
with
the
South
Boulder
committee,
South
Boulder
Creek
committee
action
group,
the
house
that
I
bought
in
2015
flooded
very
badly
in
2013.
There
was
an
elderly
couple
who
lived
there,
I
think
the
gentleman
was
87
years
old
and
they
were
trapped
upstairs
until
a
neighbor
could
get
to
them.
The
flash
flood
was
so
bad
that
emergency
crews
could
not
get
on
our
street.
M
It
was
the
street
where,
where
cars
were
being
whipped
away,
so
I
very
much
support,
South
Boulder,
Creek
flood
mitigation
and
appreciate
you
guys
moving
planning
along,
and
we
really
want
you
to
expedite
it
to
the
extent
possible,
because
there
are
still
a
lot
of
people
in
harm's
way,
so
I'm,
not
particular
about
which
of
your
options
you
choose.
We
just
would
really
like
to
be
safety
first.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
N
My
name
is
Andre
hosni,
I'm,
a
local
farmer
and
and
I'm
here
on
the
same
issue
that
Alice
was
also
speaking
on.
Os
MP
has
led
us
down
for
the
last
several
years.
We
bid
on
numerous
properties,
11
properties
and
we've
submitted
excellent,
well
developed
bids.
We
put
a
lot
of
heart
into
it,
we're
regenerative
farmers,
so
we
care
a
lot
about
this,
and
yet
we've
never
been
awarded
any
land
to
rent
and
every
time
we
lose
a
bid.
N
N
Finally,
we're
able
to
get
some
copies
and
that's
some
of
the
things
that
that
I've
submitted
in
there
are
my
summaries
and
analysis
of
how
those
particular
bids
went
now.
I,
don't
not
privy
to
all
of
the
bids,
but
those
that
I've
put
in
that
represents
a
lot
of
data
and
then
I.
Look
at
that
data
I
think
it
reveals
just
how
wrong
the
process
has
been.
N
We
I'm
really
happy
to
see
young
people
like
the
high
school
students
that
came
up
here,
speaking
about
the
need
for
local
food,
the
need
for
regenerative
agriculture
and
their
deep
desire
for
that
and
I.
Think
that
reflects
our
community's
values
overall.
But,
as
you
see
in
the
documents
that
I've
just
given
each
of
you,
the
proposals
that
have
been
awarded
for
most
of
the
land
I
think
would
be
shocking
to
the
average
citizen
of
Boulder
if
they
knew
what
was
actually
happening.
N
I'd
like
to
take
a
moment
to
point
out
that,
while
I
and
some
of
the
other
farmers
here
own
several
pitchforks,
we
didn't
bring
any
of
them
and
that's
because
we
don't
want
to
burn
anything
down
or
get
anyone
fired.
I
just
want
us
to
do
better
about
improving
falling
through
with
what
we're
actually
say
that
we
want
to
do,
and
I
also
want
to
be
to
express
my
gratitude
to
John
Potter
over
here.
Who's
MP
resource
and
stewardship
manager
he's
been
very
responsive.
N
To
listen
to
my
concerns
and
I
understand
that
he
is
working
with
us
MP
staff
to
review
some
of
the
decisions
that
have
been
made
and
see
if
changes
to
the
process
can
be
put
into
practice.
I
also
really
want
to
state
clearly
they're,
not
against
any
farmers.
Conventional
organic
farming
is
hard
and
failure
is
common.
Every
farmer
has
an
uphill
battle
and
it's
not
their
fault
that
OS
MP
has
been
and
witting
awarding
bids
to
them
or
in
the
ways
that
it's
been
done:
I'm,
not
against
them,
but
I'm
here
to
question
the
process.
N
If
farmers
like
me,
can't
win
a
bid,
what
kind
of
farmers
are
we
promoting
I
want
to
just
show
you
here
real
quick,
my
losing
bet
just
if
how
do
I
do
this?
Okay,
so
right
here,
so
let's
just
look
real,
quick,
here's,
here's!
What
a
losing
bid
looks
like
it's
well
researched,
I,
put
a
lot
of
heart
into
it
and
I
go
into
detail,
but
here's
a
winning
bid.
This
is
for
a
hundred
and
three
acres
there.
It
is
one
two,
that's
low
effort.
N
This
is
a
conventional
farmer:
who's
bidding
proposing
to
spray
pesticides
conventionally
to
grow
horse
hay
our
goals
that
are
stated
clearly
in
the
bid
packet,
the
criteria
which
which
I
I
summarized
in
there
are
greater
than
that
and
how
come
I
can't
win
a
bid.
Let
me
give
you
a
little
bit
of
my
story
with
the
time.
I
have
left
I'm
a
boulder
farmer
and
a
boulder
success
story.
I
was
born
in
Beirut
Lebanon
in
the
middle
of
a
brutal
civil
war
as
a
child,
I
witnessed
murder
violence
and
experienced
dislocation.
N
When
my
family
came
as
refugees
to
Boulder
in
1984,
the
community
warmly
welcomed
my
parents
and
helped
us
to
fit
in
the
kids
at
my
school,
however,
were
not
as
kind
as
early
Brown
kid.
In
my
elementary
school
I
was
bullied,
mocked
and
excluded.
The
thing
that
saved
my
life
was
a
wonderful
farming
couple
that
cared
for
me.
I
was
at
their
farm
every
waking
minute
that
I
was
not
in
school,
I
loved,
to
learn,
I
learned
to
love
plants
and
to
care
for
animals.
N
N
I
then
moved
to
attempt
moved
on
to
attempts
to
you
are
studied
environmental
and
water
resource
engineering
and
then
I
after
college
began
working
with
farmers
in
Africa.
After
over
a
decade,
I've
helped
assist
thousands
of
independent
farmers
in
Africa
to
come
to
become
profitable
and
lift
themselves
out
of
poverty
by
partnering
with
them.
With
regenerative
agriculture.
We've
built
a
co-op
with
over
a
thousand
farmers
in
Zambia
thousands
of
acres
with
regenerative
businesses
that
are
serving
commercial
customers.
N
We
import
hundreds
of
tons
of
organic
regenerative,
Fairtrade
agricultural
products
that
go
to
places
like
lush
and
which
has
a
story:
Boulder
I'm,
a
leading
voice
in
the
regenerative
agriculture
speaking
circuit
I've
even
been
quoted
by
the
Pope.
When
he
spoke
to
the
Brazilian
Parliament
about
the
need
to
save
the
Amazon
rainforest,
we
have
a
little
farm
in
Boulder.
If
a
farmer
like
me
can't
get
land
in
Boulder
after
attempt
after
attempt,
how
are
we
ever
going
to
accomplish
these
goals?
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Andre.
O
Hi
thinks
for
having
me
my
name
is
Caitlin
I
live
in
North,
Boulder,
2854,
Kalmia
and
I'm
here
to
talk
on
the
same
issue
as
Andre
I
had
the
privilege
of
meeting
Andre
as
he's
doing
some
consultation
for
a
nonprofit
that
I
run,
setting
up
chicken
farm
coops
in
the
developing
world
and
I've
come
to
know
Andre,
not
only
as
incredibly
kind
and
generous,
but
really
an
expert
in
the
regenerative.
Organic
agriculture.
O
As
you
just
heard,
and
when
I
learned
that
for
the
last
five
years
in
a
row,
Andre
had
been
rejected
bids
to
expand
the
Jacob
Springs
farm
I
was
surprised,
and
after
seeing
some
of
the
winning
bids
that
were
selected
over
his
I
was
shocked
and
really
disappointed
in
osp's
decisions
as
a
boulder
voter
taxpayer
and
concerned
citizen.
I
really
expect
all
of
our
facets
of
government
to
serve
the
best
interests
of
our
entire
community
and
not
just
a
handful
of
select
select.
O
Few
and
Boulder
voters
overwhelmingly
want
our
local
agricultural
lands
to
be
gone
to
produce
local
sources
of
food
through
organic
regenerative,
agricultural
practices
and
several
of
the
bids
that
were
selected
over
the
Jacob
Springs.
Particularly
the
king,
Hodgson,
Spicer,
watt,
Webb
and
Swartz
are
non
food
producing
proposed
to
use
synthetic
pesticides,
and/or
fertilizers
and
one
even
proposes
to
administer
a
potent
neurotoxin
directly
into
a
creek.
This
is
absolutely
unacceptable
and
runs
contrary
to
the
selection
process
that
you
have
purported
to
follow.
O
Additionally,
given
that
over
50%
of
Boulder
farm
workers
are
minorities
but
close
to
percent
of
those
selected
for
the
land
lease
process.
Are
minorities
I
believe
that
we
need
to
question
whether
there
may
be
any
sort
of
institutional
racial
bias?
However,
implicit
as
part
of
that
process,
your
goals
in
the
master
plan
intro
here-
are
there
great
goals
to
listen
well
and
inclusively,
and
share
information
and
communicate
clearly
and
I
would
urge
you
to
apply
these
goals
to
the
boulder
agricultural
land
lease
selection
process
immediately.
O
The
bid
selection
process
needs
to
be
open
and
transparent.
The
opacity
of
the
selection
process
and
complete
lack
of
consistency
between
what
is
said
and
what
is
done
is
not
the
process
that
our
community
deserves
the
boulder.
Please,
please,
review,
revise
and
make
public
the
selection
process.
The
boulder
citizens,
and
especially
our
farmers,
deserve
a
process
that
is
fair,
objective
and
transparent.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
P
Hi,
my
name
is
Austin
Hamilton
I
live
at
1350,
20th
Street,
so
I
am
a
student
at
CU
on
pursuing
a
PhD
in
economics
and
I,
hold
a
master's
in
economics
as
well
reason
why
I
mentioned
this
is
not
to
boast,
but
just
give
ballast
to
the
topic
which
I
plan
to
discuss
on
so
I'd
like
to
start
off
with
economics.
Deals
are
great
with
or
great
effort
with
markets,
specifically
auction
markets.
P
There's
a
lot
of
research
within
economics,
primarily
on
auction
design,
and
that's
where
I
wanted
to
then
talk
about
primarily
for
the
first
point,
an
auction
design,
as
in
comparing
seal
taupe
and
bid
processes,
for
example,
open
bid,
is
something
like
we.
If
I
bid,
I
would
see
what
I
bid
and
I
also
would
see
what
others
bid
and
also
how
they
satisfy
the
criteria
and
their
entire
bid
as
compute,
compared
to
a
single
bid
process,
which
you
firmly
implement.
P
Whether
you
have
you
know
it's
closed
until
the
end
right
until
it's
all
decided
and
I
would
first
like
to
point
out
that
there's
empirical
evidence
showing
that
open
bid
processes
increase
the
bid
price
by,
on
average
1.2
to
nine
point
six
percent
actually
for
land
leasing.
There.
Studies
that
show
this
so
that
would
satisfy
some
of
the
concerns
of
previous
comments.
Also
I'd
like
to
mention
the
concerns
about
transparency
as
compared
to
open
and
close
bid
prophesies
when
it's
open.
P
It
encourages
because
we
can
see
how
people
are
bidding,
what
how
they
satisfy
the
criterion
and
also
its
it
ensures
that
the
criterion
are
being
fully
satisfied
or
the
objectives
and
then
so
the
real
negative
side
a
lot
of
times
why
they
implement
a
sealed
bid
process
is
actually
to
guard
against
privacy
in
certain
business.
Practices
like
maybe
for
large
corporations,
have
proprietary
knowledge
that
they
don't
want
to
share
with
their
competitors.
For
example,
if
they
say
you
know,
we're
gonna
implement
this
business
now,
every
one
every
one
of
their
competitors
can
copy
that.
P
But
agriculture
is
a
little
bit
different
and
in
your
case
you
actually
are
supposed
to
disclose
after
the
fact
what
the
bids
were.
This
isn't
a
concern,
and
so
that's
a
pretty
weak
strength
for
sealed
bids.
Also,
I
would
like
to
mention
the
World
Bank
produced
this
report
to
be
used
to
help
develop
if
sealed
or
open
bid
process
was
optimal
and
the
World
Bank's
concluded
that
open
bids
actually
decrease
collusion
and
then
also
decrease
corruption
and
I,
don't
want
to
say
that
that
might
occur,
but
it's
great
when
you
have
open
bid
process.
P
There
is
no,
you
know,
concern
that
that
might
be
taking
place
right
and
then
my
next
thought
would
be
mentioning
about
the
idea
how
it
maximizes
revenue
now
I
think
Boulder
is
interesting
place.
Obviously
it's
not
its
primary
objective
is
to
maximize
revenue
we
care
about
the
stewardship
of
the
land,
most
importantly
for
our
future
generation
in
people.
So,
however,
it
is
one
of
the
criterion
for
many
of
the
bids,
and
so
I
would
like
to
I
pass
around
the
bid
that
Andre
had
up.
So
we
have
this.
We
have
his
bid.
It's
quite
lengthy.
P
I
pass
it
around,
but
specifically
I
want
to
compare
these
and
then
also
you
have
for
him
here.
Just
do
that
quickly.
Okay,
I'll
do
real
quickly
so
criterion.
The
first
one
is
proximity,
so
he
lost
in
regard
to
proximity,
he's
less
than
a
mile
away
from
the
property.
The
the
winner
is
actually
over
10
miles
conservation,
which
is
another
criterion,
wasn't
mentioned
at
all
in
the
bid
and
you're
welcome
to
read
the
winning
bid.
P
P
This
is
the
only
aspect
that
the
winning
bid
actually
won
and
the
winner
had
35
years
experience
as
compared
to
22,
which
I
think
22
years
is
sufficient
to
show
experience
and
the
last
criterion
is
the
bid
amount,
so
the
winning
bid
was
$5,500
when
Jacob
Springs
farm
bid
was
actually
ten
thousand
six
hundred,
so
almost
double,
which
I'm
a
little
blown
away
now.
Obviously,
like
I
prior
that
you
all
don't
think
primarily
about
money,
but
you
know
that
is
a
concern
about
revenue
generation.
So
my
concluding
remarks
are
open
bid.
P
Q
Children
Alan
Delamere
525
Mapleton
Avenue,
my
favorite
topic
you've
seen
me
many
times
on
open
space
parking
next
slide.
If
I
can
make
it
happen,.
Q
Something's
happened.
Okay,
you
familiar
with
this
picture,
which
we
have
shown
many
times
was
the
311
site
is
pretty
dominated
by
open
space
parking,
and
it's
not
small
at
all,
so
you've
seen
also
that
one,
the
upper
parking
lot
at
Oso
provided
safe
parking
for
35
cars.
So
recently
they
have
Prasad
mitad
new
plans.
Q
So
basically,
they've
set
this
up
as
a
gated
community
they're,
not
claiming
it
to
be
a
gated
community,
but
you
can
see
that
they've
narrowed
down
Maxwell
and
the
access
of
Mapleton.
So
there
are
surface
parking
spots
in
that
site,
but
they're
not
actually
designated
for
the
public.
However,
the
upper
space
they've
now
got
15
parking
slots
from
the
32
that
used
to
exist.
I,
don't
know
why
that
is
probably
to
keep
the
public
away
the
this
is
the
little
positive
thing.
They've
offered
20
parking
slots
near
the
existing
medical
building
of
4th
Street.
Q
Q
Is
the
really
a
serious
open,
spake
parking
problem
for
the
future?
That's
the
question:
we
need
a
verification
measurement
demonstration
by
closing
the
site
off
for
a
weekend
and
measuring
it.
Your
opinion,
matters
and
I
would
really
like
the
board
and
members
of
open
space
mountain
parks
that
are
present
today
to
go
up
one
Saturday
or
Sunday
mornings
and
determine
few
cells,
whether
I'm
talking
nonsense
or
whether
it's
a
very
real
problem.
Q
If
you
could
take
a
little
stroll
up
the
sunshine
Canyon
Trail
you
look
down
on
the
Centennial
parking
lot,
you
see
as
any
circulation
of
cars
taking
place
all
the
time.
There's
parking
for
about
another
20
cars.
That
is
really
dangerous.
There's
a
lot
of
cars
coming
down
there
and
it
really
needs
to
be
addressed,
welcome
to
the
Mapleton
site
and
see
the
open
space
users
parking
on
that
sign.
So
if
you
agree,
we
have
a
potential
problem.
Q
We
can't
afford
time
to
waste
for
the
open
space
master
plan,
because
that's
only
gonna
implement
in
2020
right
now,
we've
got
influence
over
the
developers
until
it's
approved,
we've
got
a
chance
of
them,
giving
us
more
parking,
so
I
think
we
need
to
do
that.
Verification
problem
as
fast
as
we
can
and
closing
that
off
is
the
best
method
of
getting
a
really
solid
data.
I
think
we
need
to
start
the
trailhead
study.
Q
Q
B
B
Very
primal
issue
here
is:
is
safety
for
myself,
my
family,
my
friends
and
my
neighbors,
and
so
just
wanted
to
express
my
concern
and
and
support
for
your
guys's
work
on
on
these
options
and
times
of
the
essence.
It's
not
a
question
of
if
another
floods
gonna
happen.
It's
a
question
of
when
so
appreciate
your
timely
efforts
and
looking
forward
to
what
you
guys
come
up
with.
Thank
you
thank.
R
Here
in
reference
to
the
topic
he's
discussing
and
actually
I
don't
live
here,
but
I'm
in
process
of
moving
here
from
a
mistake
that
knows
a
little
bit
about
storms
as
Florida
and
I
see
a
lot
of
people
come
up
here
with
different
topics
to
very
lava
conviction
and
and
they've
got
a
beautiful
years
is
absolutely
coming
when
I
come
out
here,
I'm
never
going
to
move
out
here,
but
I
think
it's
not
a
matter
of
saving
a
flower
or
a
tree
or
bushes.
You're.
R
Talking
about
the
safety
of
human
beings
and,
like
my
son,
said
it's
not
a
matter
of
well
if
it's
good
to
have
it
as
when
it's
going
to
happen
so
I
appreciate
any
support
and
making
this
place
safe
as
possible.
You
can
in
the
area.
One
thing
I
want
to
say
is:
I
saw
a
film
about
I
think
it's
called
the
Frasier
Meadows
elderly
living
facility
during
2013
flood.
It
was
horrific,
I
mean
the
power
and
the
water
coming
through
there.
R
That's
only
maybe
six
or
eight
blocks,
where
my
son
and
daughter,
and
soon
to
have
grandchildren
to
live
in
are
living
now,
so
I
think
it's
important
to
all
these
other
issues
that
come
up
is
important
to
everybody,
but
this
is
a
matter
of
human
safety
and
I
hope
that
the
right
thing
is
done.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Don
hans.
S
Good
evening
hunt
price
1719
Mary
poster
Avenue.
It
appears
that
tonight
is
Tracy
Winfrey's
last
OSB
tea
meeting
and
I
wanted
to
take
the
opportunity,
in
the
name
of
the
boulder
multimeric
Alliance,
to
thank
you
for
your
service
as
the
director
of
OSP
t,
OS,
MPA,
I'm.
Sorry,
under
your
leadership,
we
have
seen
a
significant
change
to
the
organization
in
particular,
I'd
like
to
mention
the
openness
to
discuss
issues
and
also.
S
That
that
we,
as
bold
amount
of
our
alliance,
feel
accepted
as
legitimate
trail
users
and
a
partner,
we
now
have
a
much
greater
opportunity
to
engage
volunteers
to
give
back
to
the
trails,
to
help
build
on
and
sustainable
trails
and
yeah.
So
basically,
that
is
my
message.
I
wanted
to
thank
you
and
and
I
hope
you
enjoy
your
retirement
and
we're
looking
forward
under
the
new
leadership
to
continue
this
partnership
moving
forward.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
T
Hi,
my
name
is
Matt
Bentley
I
had
a
home
I
owned
a
home
on
birch
wood,
Drive
I'm,
an
environmental
engineer
and
a
researcher
at
cu-boulder
environmental
engineering
department.
After
hearing
about
some
of
the
difficulties
that
mr.
Houston
has
had
through
the
OSP
land
bidding
process,
I
decided
to
review
and
compare
some
of
the
bids
for
the
properties
that
he's
pursued
so
upon
reviewing
these
bids.
It's
my
professional
opinion
that
mr.
heustis
proposals
have
been
consistently
superior
in
the
area
of
environmental
sustainability
and
conservation
than
the
winning
proposals.
Mr.
T
heustis
proposals
have
been
far
more
detailed
in
the
winning
bids
as
you've
seen
in
many
cases
regarding
environmental
impacts
and
sustainability
of
farming
practices
and
as
farming
philosophies
and
values
align
with
the
stated
goals
of
OSP
farm
leasing
program
due
to
his
commitment
to
organic
diversified,
sustainable
growing
properties
and
provision
of
locally
produced
foods
in
the
boulder
area,
which
are
characteristics
highly
sought-after
here
and
all
of
mr.
Houston's
bid.
T
Proposals
have
included
commitments
to
organic
growing
practices
without
the
use
of
pesticides,
organic
or
synthetic,
and
the
environmental
impact
of
pesticide
use
is
large
and
has
the
potential
to
affect
human
health,
most
notably
in
addition
to
the
health
of
the
surrounding
ecosystem.
Mr.
Schue
see
also
proposes
the
use
of
only
natural
manure
fertilizers
for
use
on
any
leased
land
from
the
livestock
he
currently
manages
or
from
other
local
livestock
sources.
This
would
significantly
reduce
agricultural
environmental
impacts,
as
synthetic
fertilizers
have
large
impacts
on
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
nutrient
released
the
environment
in
each
of
mr.
T
Houston's
bids.
He
strongly
emphasizes
his
commitment
and
goals
to
improve
biodiversity
on
his
leased
land,
which
is
among
OS
MP,
stated
goals,
as
well
as
the
strategy
to
improve
the
long-term
fertility
of
soil
and
health
of
his
managed
areas,
and
many
winning
bids
proposed
using
unspecified
pesticides
as
well
as
synthetic
fertilizers
to
maximize
crop
production.
I
did
not
mention
any
strategies
to
maintain
long
term,
soil,
health
and
biodiversity
on
the
leased
land.
One
winning
proposal
even
included
the
use
of
a
synthetic
polymer
that
contains
a
known
human
neurotoxin
to
reduce
erosion
or
mr.
T
heustis
proposals
have
incorporated
natural
solutions
to
erosion,
irrigation
and
drainage.
Further
mr.
heustis
bids
have
incorporated
his
philosophy
of
farming
as
utilising
and
supporting
the
natural
ecosystem
to
ensure
long-term
environmental
sustainability
of
the
areas
he
manages.
He
has
an
extensive
history,
as
you've
heard
successfully
implementing
these
practices
on
the
land
he
currently
manages
in
Boulder,
as
well
as
his
work
internationally
in
Zambia.
After
a
cursory
look
at
the
environmental
practices
proposed
in
mr.
T
heustis
bids,
compared
to
those
discussed
in
the
winner's
bids,
the
result
seems
to
conflict
with
osm
peace,
commitment
to
their
stated
values
of
environmental
preservation
and
ecological
stewardship.
Mr.
Houston's
farming
philosophy
has
positive
environmental
impacts
because
of
his
long-term
investment
in
soil
fertility,
water
quality,
land
management
and
biodiversity,
and
his
proposals
deserve
fair
consideration
due
to
their
clear
superiority
in
the
area
of
environmental
conservation
and
sustainability
compared
to
the
winners
of
those
leased
lands.
Thank
you.
Thanks.
A
U
Good
evening
my
name
is
Patricia.
Cardin
I
live
at
350
Ponca
place
in
Boulder
I.
Thank
you
for
the
masterful
work.
Pun
is
intended
that
you
have
done
and
you
continue
to
do
in
creating
a
unique
and
comprehensive
master
plan
for
the
citizens
of
Boulder.
I
am
speaking
tonight
about
my
ongoing
concern
for
the
safety
of
South
Boulder
residents
with
respect
to
flood
danger.
That
danger
has
been
known
and
remediation
has
been
recommended
even
years
before
the
devastation
2013
flood.
U
Most
of
us,
living
at
Fraser,
Meadows
Manor,
sorry
participated
in
the
arduous,
an
effective
master
plan
process
and
we're
so
pleased
with
its
approval
last
year.
So,
as
you
know,
we
suffered
major
damage,
displacement
of
residents,
loss
of
cars
and,
very
importantly,
loss
of
housing,
which
has
yet
to
be
replaced
for
five
years
out
and
that's
not
to
be
replaced
for
almost
two
more
years.
U
V
Hi
I'm
Alexia
Park
sign
up
at
973
fifth
Street
and
you
may
remember,
I
was
here
last
fall.
I
am
founder
of
something
called
the
boulder
study
trails,
the
boulder
study
trails
involved,
all
schools
in
Boulder,
Valley,
School
District,
in
an
outdoor
education
program,
and
that
ran
with
the
support
of
the
Colorado
Mountain
Club
and
also
with
the
support
of
the
Valley
Schools.
We
had
all
schools
at
that
time.
24
schools
participating
and
our
focus
was
on
the
mountains.
V
We
brought
everybody
from
all
those
school
districts
to
get
buses
and
they
came,
and
we
led
them
on
tours
on
six
to
eight
trails
that
were
right
against
the
base
of
the
mountains
in
order
to
appreciate
and
understand
the
value
of
preserving
and
protecting
outdoor
education.
The
part
of
that
is
there
are
statistics.
V
We
all
know
that
that
today's
youth
spend
50
percent
less
time
than
their
parents
out
of
doors
and
those
parents
probably
spent
less
fifty
percent
less
than
their
parents
and
the
lack
engagement,
the
lack
of
bringing
them
into
those
parks
could
result
if
not
converted
into
a
loss
of
stewardship.
So
my
brief
comments
today
regard
to
the
Sunita
Center.
V
I'm
sure
he
will
to
take
a
look
and
walk
around
the
three-story
nurse's
dorm
that
is
incorporated
with
that
open
space
land
that
you
now
own
and
the
building
apparently
may
or
may
not
I'm,
not
sure
that
designation
is
official
yet
or
not,
maybe
in
planning
the
ability
to
keep
that
building
if
you're
able
to
keep
it
up
until
now.
The
land
that
the
hospital
was
on
has
always
been
nonprofit,
whether
it
was
for
public
use,
whether
it
was
Indian
use,
whether
it
was
public.
V
This
is
the
first
time
that
land
has
been
shifted
to
a
private
use
for
private
development,
but
the
historic
nature.
If
you
go
up
to
that,
three-story
nurse's
building
and
you
look
around
that
location
which
stands
apart
and
alone,
apart
from
the
Academy's
proposed
remaining
buildings,
there
is
equivalent
in
my
mind
and
those
who
see
it
to
the
end
car
sight.
The
view
is
spectacular
of
the
Flatirons.
The
view
is
also
spectacular
of
the
entire
Boulder
Valley
and
we
proposed
it
for
what
I
would
call
the
Sunita
Center.
V
It
would
be
a
creating
a
vision
of
the
next
50
years
of
education
and
civic
engagement
in
the
stewardship
of
open
space.
Think
of
it
like
a
local,
Aspen,
Institute,
there's
three
story,
building
that
which
we
could
potentially
have
through
public-private
partnership.
Think
of
it
as
a
local
Aspen
Institute
for
civic
engagement
related
to
land,
stewardship
and
education.
V
It
could
include
very
briefly
co-working
spaces
for
all
the
nonprofit's,
including
everyone
who
is
mentioned
here,
and
their
interests
a
restaurant,
with
a
spectacular
view
of
the
Flatirons,
which
could
also
be
a
conference
space
which
will
be
community
supported.
The
co-working
space
could
be
goko
funding
from
the
lottery
Monday
because
it
would
be
non
profits.
V
W
How's
it
going
I'm
Chris,
Carrabba
I'm
from
Boulder
I
live
at
7:30,
South,
46th
Street
in
South
Boulder,
and
a
lot
of
the
topics
that
are
talked
to
touched
on
here,
yeah
near
and
dear
to
my
heart
and
agriculture,
being
one
of
them.
Boulders,
definitely
known
for
it
growing
up
going
to
Fairview,
going
to
see
you
and
wanting
to
have
access
to
food
and
now,
where
I'm
not
trying
to
be
interested
in
getting
into
what
is
it
to
be
a
producer
in
this
town
that
I
grew
up
in
so
I'm?
W
Definitely
wanting
to
thank
everybody
that
spoke
on
that
topic
and
I.
Think
they've
said
enough
about
it
and
more
could
be
said.
But
in
looking
at
what
another
topic
that
we've
been
touched
on
is
floods,
so
we
have
the
image
of
the
Dust
Bowl
happening.
We
have
flooding
happening,
we
have
the
south,
boulder
cu,
property
being
potentially
developed
and
the
land
and
the
knowledge
where
you
should
not
build,
has
been
here
for
long
enough,
except
we
continue
to
do
that.
W
So
I
think
that
it's
fairly
obvious
to
make
connections
as
to
what's
happening
is
we're
not
actually
well.
Maybe
we
are
who
are
making
the
connection,
but
that
drains
are
being
clogged
with
the
silt
from
the
land,
that's
being
tilled.
The
tillage
is
not
allow,
it
is
done
for
mono
cropping,
and
then
we
have
to
apply
all
these
pesticides
and
things
to
make
that
sustainable.
W
When
would
be
great
to
see
some
regenerative
agriculture
project
happen
on
these
degraded
lands
and
as
well
is
it
could
potentially
be
a
water
storage
that
could
help
prevent
flooding
in
these
different
areas,
and
every
time
we
have
buildings
being
built
in
surfaces
being
paved
over
we're
not
where
ever
increasing
that
flood
and
the
runoff,
and
if
the
drainage
is
blocked,
because
the
dust
has
filled
up
all
of
the
drainage
places.
Well,
it's
just
going
to
get
worse.
W
The
health
and
safety
of
people
is
going
to
continue
to
be
in
jeopardy
when
we
do
have
these
major
flood
events,
which
are,
we
know,
happen
again
at
some
point.
So
I
just
would
like
to
make
that
connection
between
all
the
things
that
have
been
talked
about,
including
how
can
we
have
more
local
food
and
potentially
these
elements
that
could
provide
safety
in
the
form
of
you
know
not
allowing
ground
to
be
bare,
storing
and
holding
water
for
longer
periods
of
time.
W
X
And
or
John
Potter
resource
and
stewardship
manager
and
yeah,
so
AG
staff
were
here
last
month,
as
you
recall,
and
we
talked
about
the
the
rate
issue
which
came
out
of
the
master
plan
out
of
the
agricultural
management
plan.
Excuse
me,
and
so
as
we're
reviewing
the
lease
trades.
We
also
realized
that
it
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
look
at
the
entire
process,
around
selections
for
open
space
lands
and
so
I
think
there
are
some
opportunities
for
continuous
improvement
there.
X
X
X
No,
not
at
all,
that's
probably
a
misunderstanding
that
there
was
in
the
agricultural
management
plan.
You
may
recall
a
goal
of
bringing
on
additional
local
food
operations
those
take,
so
those
in
particular
take
a
significant
amount
of
investment
in
staff
time
to
to
be
able
to
take
on
a
new
new
local
local
food
operation,
particularly
investments
in
infrastructure
and
other
things.
So
sometimes
we're
limited
in
how
many
of
those
we
could
do
in
a
possible
year,
and
that
might
be
where
that
that
sense
was,
but
certainly
overall,
we
are.
A
Because
some
of
what
we
heard
raised
it,
you
know
we
hear
a
lot
that
there's
in
a
sense
a
shortage
of
ranchers,
slash
farmers
and
that
we
need
to
do
more
to
make
sure,
there's
some
continuity
and
there
we're
going
to
have
people
willing
and
able
to
farm
these
lands
in
the
future.
Well,
we
heard
tonight
and
I
understand
this
is
a
part
of
a
broader
story,
but
nonetheless
we
heard
some
people
who
had
very
specific
and,
to
my
mind,
attention
getting
things
to
say
that
put
a
somewhat
different
light
on
that
about.
A
Well,
maybe
there's
a
somewhat
larger
pool
of
potential
farmers
out
there,
but
maybe
we're
not
doing
and
I'm
just
reacting
with
what
they're
saying
I
haven't
heard,
don't
tend
to
have
heard
fully
both
sides
here,
but
I'll
say
the
question
as
to
whether
we
need
to
do
more
to
be
tapping
into
that
pool
and
to
make
sure
that
if
there's
a
shortage,
it's
not
of
our
own
creation
by
not
sort
of
reaching
out
to
others.
But
I
very
welcome
your
perspective
on
that.
But
it's
something
that
I
caught.
X
I
think
that
probably
will
we'll
see
over
as
some
long
term
tenants
start
to
turn
over
we'll
see
a
lot
of
additional
opportunities
for
that
to
occur
and
for
us
to
be
considering
different
type
of
different
approaches
on
lands.
The
you
know
water
is
a
big
issue
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
there's
there's
adequate
water
to
do
the
types
of
operations
that
folks
who
want
to
do
isn't
always
possible
every
acre
of
rangeland.
That's
out
there.
X
So
you
know
I
feel
the
staff
do
a
good
job
in
taking
that
into
consideration
and
really
thinking
through
what
opportunities
might
be
available.
But,
like
I
say,
we
can
always
look
for
ways
to
do
continuous
improvement
and
do
better
on
making
opportunities
available.
So
that's
that
will
be
our
goal
and
what
we'll
we'll
try
to
do?
Moving
forward.
C
X
X
Y
I
mean
I
you're
kind
of
Curt
said
it
would
be
nice
to
have
some
clarity
on
this.
From
my
perspective
sitting
here,
I
think
I
heard
one
side
of
the
story.
That
was
very
very
compelling
tonight
as
a
person
who
part
of
my
job
is
available
value,
ating
landscapes
based
on
concrete
metrics,
to
not
make
those
publicly
available,
nor
the
results
of
those
publicly
available
given
public
land
to
me,
just
as
a
knee-jerk
sounds
like
a
really
bad
idea
and
as
a
manager,
you'd
probably
get
better
bidding.
Y
Now
I
heard
one
side
of
this
story
tonight,
I'd
really
like
to
hear
the
other
side
from
you
guys
about
how
you're
dealing
with
it
already
and
what
your
plans
are
for
the
future,
so
that
anybody,
whether
it's
Andre
or
someone
else,
can
come
in
and
say:
I
met
these
criteria,
I
got
an
8.5
and
this
person
got
a
6.5
I'm
gonna
sue
and
then
that
would
make
sense
or
I
got
an
8.5
and
they
got
a
9.5
and
I
lost
and
therefore
I
can't
sue
or
whatever.
It
is.
G
A
B
A
And
I
would
hope,
I
get
the
sense.
This
from
your
perspective,
has
been
an
issue.
That's
been
festering
for
quite
some
time
can't
change
the
past,
but
I
you
know
want
you
to
understand
that
we
meet
every
month
and
are
open
to
at
any
time.
Between
now
and
when
you
hear
we
hear
back
from
staff
to,
please
feel
welcome
to
come
and
express
yourselves
as
obviously
a
well-thought-out
presentation
by
a
number
of
people,
and
you
have
our
attention.
Yeah,
yeah.
G
Can
I
just
offer
a
couple
of
other
deep
items
that
came
up
during
the
public
comment?
One
is
the
prairie
dog
working
group.
The
prairie
dog
issue
came
up.
The
prairie
dog
working
group
does
continue
to
meet
and
their
next
meeting
there
I
don't
know
if
it's
been
finalized,
but
they're
looking
at
early
June
for
their
next
meeting
and
those
meetings
do
take
public
comment.
G
So
the
idea
is
that
to
have
a
public
hearing
before
both
both
boards
would
be
efficient
for
the
boards
and
for
the
public.
Then
it
would
be
clarified
what
is
of
open
space
boards
purview
and
then
what
is
of
the
water
resources,
advisory
board
purview?
And
then
you
would
go
off
to
your
next
board
meetings,
for
you
would
be
your
July
board
meeting.
You
would
have
an
additional
public
hearing
and
then
take
action
on
the
open
space
aspects
of
the
South
Boulder
Creek
flood
mitigation.
G
Then
a
follow-up
item
on
3/11
Mapleton
you
have
you
gave
as
one
of
your
three
motions
I
think
you
took
three
motions
on
3/11
Mapleton
project
and
one
of
those
motions
had
to
do
with
advice
to
the
Planning
Board.
The
Planning
Board
will
be
hearing
the
311
Mapleton
project
at
their
May
31st
meeting
I
believe
and
then
it
goes
on
to
City
Council
on
June
19th.
There
will
be
a
public
hearing
at
City
Council
that
evening,
so
just
to
give
you
a
sense
of
how
things
are
rolling
along
and
on
those
various
topics.
G
A
G
There
were
two
acquisitions
that
went
forward
to
City
Council,
which
they
approved
at
there.
I
can't
remember
which
council
meeting
it
was
it
not
last
council
meeting,
but
the
council
meeting
is
a
Tom
Isaacson
was
in
attendance
because
some
questions
were
coming
up
just
before
the
council
meeting
and
while
the
council
approved
the
two
acquisitions,
particularly
on
the
poor
farm
acquisition,
we
heard
relatively
significant
caution
around
taking
on
additional
structures,
additional
buildings
and
the
cost
impact
of
that
the
liability
of
that.
G
I
would
share
that
back
with
heard
that
pretty
was
a
pretty
significant
conversation,
one
that
we
weren't
really
expecting
at
council
and
I,
don't
know
Tom
if
you
would
want
to
share
anything
else.
No.
A
I
think
they
were
in
general.
There
was
a
concern
about
you
know
how
much
money
we
have
invested
in
housing
and
taking
on
additional
housing
and
sort
of
the
bigger
picture,
an
issue
that
you
know
if
it
possibly
becomes
something
in
the
master
plan,
but
something
that
was
a
much
more
bigger
picture
concern.
A
And
then
there
were
the
number
of
concerns
specific
to
that
property.
I
would
say
there
was
a
very
wide,
an
unusually
wide
range
of
opinions
from
this
houses,
an
albatross
that
you're
gonna
regret.
This
is
awesome
and
there
are
at
least
five
wonderful
things
we
can
do
about
it
do
with
it.
Excuse
me
and
I
think
it
was
widely
understood
that,
well
that
wasn't
the
immediate
decision
at
hand
was
just
an
acquisition
decision.
A
There
weren't
any
sort
of
follow-on
disposal
issues
before
us
before
the
council,
but
that
I
think
they
were
both
seen
as
opportunities
and
threats
around
this
property,
and
it's
one
that
you
know
it's
probably
like
Boulder,
Valley
Farms.
It's
gonna
make
some
sense
to
have
a
little
bit
of
do
with
this
property
and.
G
One
other
quick
thing
for
me:
council
is
considering
a
variety
of
ballot
items.
One
one
item
that
they're
looking
at
is
the
potential
of
extending
the
moratorium
for
oil
and
gas
exploration
and
they'll
be
talking
about
that
at
their
may.
15Th
meeting
and
it's
really
the
City
Attorney's
Office
is-
is
in
the
lead
on
that
particular
item.
Z
Hi
there
Lauren
keel
coin
here
to
talk
about
the
2019
to
2024
capital,
improvement
program
or
CIP,
and
this
is
our
second
touch
on
the
2019
2:24
CIP.
Last
month,
when
we
were
here,
we
stuck
to
a
pretty
high
level
work
plan
overview
and
talked
about
our
budget
guiding
principles
and
draft
department
priorities
for
next
year.
For
this
month,
you
actually
have
some
some
recommended
CIP
funding,
funding
across
the
various
projects,
maintenance,
enhancement,
acquisition,
etc.
Z
When
we
come
back
next
month,
it
will
be
for
a
public
hearing,
discussion
and
recommendation
and
after
that,
for
July
and
August
will
shift
to
talking
about
our
operating
budget
and
the
purpose
of
tonight's
presentation.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
follow
up
on
some
of
your
questions
from
last
month.
We
reiterate
the
goal
of
this
particular
May
business
meeting.
Z
We
had
a
lot
of
conversation
about
trends
and
trade-offs
and
using
information
that
we're
collecting
through
engagement
windows
to
tell
stories
and
make
decisions
moving
forward.
So
staff
took
all
of
your
questions
from
last
month
and
went
through
them
and
made
a
recommendation
on
whether
we
think
those
are
appropriate
for
the
budget
process
or
the
master
plan
oftentimes
both
at
different
scales.
But
what
we
feel
is
within
the
scope
of
the
current
budget
process
is
certainly
understanding.
Z
Z
This
presentation
and
the
next
three
will
be
graphic
displays
of
data
where
that
data
currently
exists
so
generating
new
stuff
for
the
master
plan,
but
certainly
providing
as
much
data
as
we
have
currently
to
get
us
through
this
budget
process
and
then
ask
for
what's
within
the
scope
of
the
master
plan
and
out
of
the
budget
scope.
We
really
feel
like
presenting
a
range
of
options
as
we
move
forward
towards
stewardship
in
telling
the
story
of
how
shifting
priorities
will
manifest
in
the
budget
are
more
appropriate
for
the
master
plan
process.
Z
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
using
this
this
time,
while
we
do
the
master
plan
to
listen
to
the
community
and
understand
what
they
want
from
us
in
terms
of
priorities
over
the
next
10
years,
and
certainly
once
the
plan
is
approved
all
future,
but
budgets
would
reflect
the
needs
of
the
community
and
in
plan
recommendations
and
again
just
creating
and
providing
a
wider
range
of
graphics
and
tables
to
share
will
come
through
the
budget
through
the
master
plan
process.
Rather,
and
so
the
focus
for
tonight's
meeting
is
really
based
on
current
knowledge.
Z
So
our
organizational
assessment
and
other
assessments
we've
completed
and
recommendations
from
our
plans
based
on
everything
we
know
right
now.
Do
we
have
the
right
balance
across
our
capital
budgets
in
the
2019
to
2024
CIP
and,
of
course
the
master
plan
will
be
approved
during
that
sexier
horizon.
And
although
we
look
at
a
six
year
horizon,
we
approve
a
budget
each
year
and
so
of
particular
importance
is:
do
we
have
the
right
balance
in
2019
across
these
projects?
While
we
await
the
completion
of
the
master
plan.
Z
And
this
is
not
new
information,
but
to
just
give
you
an
update
on
that
kind
of
work,
we
are
experiencing
flattening
revenues
from
retail
sales
tax
across
the
city.
Oh
SNP
is
particularly
affected
by
that,
given
the
sales
tax
structure
of
the
open
space
fund
and
some
scheduled
changes
over
the
next
couple
of
years,
we
did
receive
a
couple
weeks
ago
our
initial
2019
revenue
projections
from
the
finance
department
and
they
came
in
pretty
much
as
we
expected.
Z
We
were
anticipating
a
no
growth
scenario
for
the
next
couple
of
years
and
then
returning
to
a
slow
growth
sales
and
use
tax
assumption
between
1
&
2
percent
in
those
out
years
of
the
the
planning
horizon
and
our
draft
CIP
was
certainly
created
with
a
no
growth
scenario
in
mind.
So
we
feel
pretty
confident
there
and
our
operating
budget
will
will
also
reflect
that
financial
reality
and
just
a
note
that
we
continue
to
get
information
from
the
finance
department
several
times
a
week.
Z
Those
lines
between
the
sales
and
use
tax
collection
and
our
overall
revenues
start
to
separate
a
little
bit
more
and
I
just
want
to
explain
briefly
why
that
was.
We
have
been
as
we
complete
our
FEMA
reimbursable
flood
projects,
writing
our
scope,
changes
and
submitting
requests
for
reimbursement,
and
so
you'll
see
our
fund
financial
last
month.
That
breaks
out
our
revenues.
But
one
of
those
revenues
lines
is
our
anticipated
FEMA
reimbursement
dollars
from
the
projects.
Z
So
that's
important
because
those
are
one-time
dollars
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
as
we're
receiving
those
one-time
dollars
that
we're
using
them
for
one-time
purposes
and
not
relying
on
them
to
be
a
stopgap
or
to
get
us
through
the
upcoming
changes
and
then
shifting
to
the
next
six
years.
One
of
the
questions
last
month
was
how
many
millions
are
we
talking
about
here.
Z
But
that
will
have
an
impact
and
luckily
because
we
knew
sales
taxes,
we're
expiring,
we've
been
preparing
for
this
for
a
really
long
time
and
so
certainly
there's
an
added
intensity
in
the
flattening
sales
tax
revenues.
But
I'll
talk
about
process
improvements
in
a
little
while
and
how
we've
been
preparing
for
that
for
several
years.
Z
We
actually
have
30
million
dollars
in
our
fund
balance
right
now,
which
again
was
planned.
We
knew
things
would
be
changing
and
we
wanted
to
be
especially
conservative
and
prepared,
as
we
headed
into
some
changing
times,
and
so
what
this
allows
us
to
do.
The
2019
budget
you'll
still
see
that
your
annual
expenditures
are
within
your
annual
revenues,
but
there
are
a
couple
years
there.
Z
Our
expenditures
are
back
with
an
annual
revenues,
and
so
I
feel
much
better
about
that,
knowing
that
at
least
three
of
those
six
years
and
in
parts
but
final,
two
years
of
that
six
year,
horizon,
look
very
good.
We
mentioned
last
month
that
will
be
making
final
payments
on
our
oh
six
and
oh
seven
bond
issues.
And
finally,
we
want
to
make
sure,
as
we
consider
budget
reductions
through
2019
that
were
showing
balance
across
all
of
our
functions
and
expenditure
types.
Z
Again,
we've
known
this
has
been
coming
for
a
number
of
years
with
the
added
layer
of
the
finding
sales
tax
and
we've
had
some
years
long
efforts
that
were
actually
starting
to
realize
the
benefits
from
right
now
and
will
continue
to
make
process
improvements
over
the
next
six
years
and
beyond.
To
make
sure
again
it's
a
part
of
a
continuous
improvement
ethic.
We
always
want
to
be
getting
better
at
what
we
do,
but
a
couple
examples
that
we
feel
are
benefits
for
the
customer
and
a
benefit
for
us
in
terms
of
budget
and
staff.
Z
Time
are
some
of
the
online
systems
that
we've
gone
live
with
this
year,
so
one
of
those
is
online.
Sales
of
annual
parking
permits
sounds
like
a
small
thing.
It
took
several
years
to
be
able
to
do
that,
and
now
customers
can
purchase
their
annual
their
annual
parking
permits
from
them,
whatever
they
want,
certainly
are
still
welcome
to
come
in
and
work
with
our
staff
at
the
at
the
front
desk,
but
it
saves
them
time.
It
saves
us
time
and
money,
and
it's
really
a
net
win
and
same
same
goes
for
our
facilities.
Z
Reservation
systems
in
our
commercial
and
special
use
permit
existence
that
in
particular
took
five
years
and
we're
finally
live
with
it
as
of
next
month,
and
so
you
can
see
that
we've
been
planning
for
this
for
a
very
long
time.
There
are
changes
going
into
effect.
That'll
allow
us
to
to
face
this
changing
forecast
in
a
really.
We
also
want
to
learn
from
the
flood
and
from
all
these
assessments
that
we've
completed
particularly
around
how
we
estimate
costs,
how
we
phase
out
our
projects
and
our
overall
project
timelines,
the
facilities
assessment.
Z
So,
looking
at
the
overall
CIP
before
we
break
it
down
into
CIP
category
or
individual
project,
we
want
to
show
that
the
2019
CIP
that
you
see
in
front
of
you
is
really
a
return
to
pre-flood
CIP
levels
and
it's
easy
to
say
Wow.
Is
it
because
of
the
is
because
of
the
revenue
projections
that
your
CIP
is
decreasing?
Well,
no,
not
really,
and
2012
and
2013
data
shows
that
really
on
average,
we
were
spending
between
four
and
six
million
a
year
in
the
open
space
CIP.
Z
It's
only
because
we
were
simultaneously
implementing
North
to
say,
West
to
say
and
flood
recovery
that
that
that
spike
occurred,
and
so
this
is
our
opportunity
to
establish
reasonable
work
plans
return
to
an
appropriate
CIP
and
as
we
break
that
down
across
categories,
we
invest
in
capital,
enhancement,
maintenance
planning,
new
facility
infrastructure
and,
of
course,
acquisition.
We
keep
talking
about
this
shift
to
stewardship,
and
what
does
that
mean?
And
how
can
we
back
that
up
through
the
budget
and
one
of
the
ways
we
do?
Z
That
is
by
increasing
our
investment
in
capital
maintenance
as
compared
to
other
CIP
categories,
and
you
can
see
over
the
last
few
years
the
the
emphasis
on
enhancement
and
you
can
see
kind
of
over
the
last
three
years
that
gradual
shift
and
that
gradual
uptick
in
maintenance,
and
we
would
expect
that
to
continue
over
the
six-year
horizon
and
that
certainly
has
an
impact
on
our
acquisition
funding.
And
you
know.
Historically,
our
acquisition
has
been
the
majority
of
our
CIP
and
from
2012.
Z
Our
goal
is
to
spend
that
within
three
years
we
successfully
spent
the
ten
million
at
the
end
of
by
the
end
of
last
year.
But
while
we
were
focusing
on
spending
that
10
million,
we
continued
to
fund
the
acquisition
CIP
at
5.7
million
or
somewhere
around
there
and
those
dollars
carried,
and
we've
accrued
this
capital
acquisition
category
that,
even
after
we
actually
pay
for
all
of
the
approved
properties
that
I've
already
come
to
you
and
to
counsel.
Z
We
have
seven
million
and
carryover
remaining
and
that's
before
you
a
factor
in
the
next
six
years
of
funding.
So,
as
you
see
this
draft
CIP,
the
funding
amounts
will
not
affect
any
current
negotiations
and
again
it
follows
our
plan
to
gradually
decrease
acquisition
and
focus
on
system
stewardship
and,
lastly,
just
wanted
to
highlight
a
few
projects
that
we've
had
in
our
CIP
before,
but
that
have
been
recast
through
this
budget
process.
Regional
collaboration
used
to
be
regional
trails.
Z
We
did
not
know
at
that
time
if
we
would
need
to
purchase
additional
land
for
our
future
space.
We
have
sent
shift
our
focus
to
redeveloping
the
cherryvale
location
and
so
in
this
CIP
you'll
see
that
reflected
as
a
capital
enhancement
funded
at
$100,000,
and
that
is
strictly
to
support
a
feasibility
study
to
make
sure
there
are
no
fatal
flaws
in
the
Cherryville
idea,
and
we
know
that
the
feasibility
study
will
help
us
better
project
out
the
cost
for
the
long-term
campus
vision
and
finally,
a
new
property.
Z
Z
All
we've
been
focusing
on
for
recovery
and
the
expectation
across
all
of
those
capital
maintenance
categories
is
that
they're
used
interchangeably,
and
certainly
there
are
parts
of
new
property
stabilization,
for
example,
that
support
work
on
agricultural
items
and
so
folks,
managing
agricultural,
say
CIP
shodhan
will
use
both
of
those
capital
maintenance
buckets
to
accomplish
their
work.
So
really
those
are
the
those
are
the
major
changes.
Z
Agricultural
management
plan
certainly
had
a
number
of
recommendations,
but
that
staff
has
worked
to
say.
Okay,
what
can
we?
What
can
we
get
started
on
now
in
terms
of
replacing
infrastructure?
While
we
continue
to
figure
out
some
of
the
other
recommendations
from
that
plan,
so
it
really
I
cannot
overemphasize
how
much
of
our
work
plan
has
been
dictated
by
the
flood
across
every
workgroup,
and
so
this
is
our.
Z
This
is
our
first
chance
to
say:
okay,
what
does
our
work
plan
look
like
after
the
flood
and
there's
the
list
of
maintenance,
proud
that
came
along
with
that
question?
It
was
pretty
unbelievable,
and
so
we
have
a
new
work
plan
system,
a
new
software
where
staff
were
able
to
enter
all
of
those
things,
get
weighted
scores
and
that's
how
we
made
those
funding
decisions
and
there
might
be
other
things
you
want
to
add
to
that.
Well,.
AA
Just
the
fact
that
moving
over
the
new
property
stabilization
bucket
into
capital
maintenance
also
increase
that
amount
as
compared
to
previous
years,
when
it
was
not
part
of
that
bucket,
I.
Think
about
doing
work
on
properties
we
already
own,
which
is
new
property.
Stabilization,
made
sense
to
cast
it
in
the
in
the
light
of
property,
maintenance
and.
Y
Z
A
good
question-
and
it
probably
depends
on
the
type
of
resource
the
answer
to
that
but
I
know
trails,
that's
a
question
that
we've
been
getting
on
trails.
So
at
what
point
are
we
caught
up
and
actually
we're
within
a
few
weeks,
I
think
of
being
able
to
have
a
clear
timeline
on
that?
But
it
certainly
varies
by
by
type
and
then
by
how
many
things.
The
other
thing
that's
worth
mentioning,
as
we
were
completing
flood
recovery,
because
so
much
of
the
damage
was
in
the
the
geographic
area
of
the
West
ESA.
G
If
I
could
just
highlight
one
other
thing:
habitat
restoration
as
a
part
of
this,
how
we
take
care
of
the
system,
part
of
the
maintenance,
so
that's
also
one
of
the
categories
and
oftentimes.
If
there's
a
in
addition
to
that
trails,
trail
projects
would
come
with
restoration
work,
mm-hmm,
okay,
thanks.
Y
Z
I
think
I
would
probably
add
that
many
of
the
ecological
flood
recovery
projects
were
not
FEMA
reimbursable,
and
so
you
didn't
often
hear
about
them
here,
but
just
last
year,
I
believe
we
spend
three
million
dollars
on
on
restoration
projects
that
were
not
FEMA
reimbursable,
including
the
the
Boulder
Creek
South
Boulder
Creek
confluence
area.
So
the
same
applies
across
all
of
those
categories.
A
I
had
a
few
one
comment,
a
few
questions
on
the
very
first
page,
and
this
is
where
you're
allocating
various
topics
to
the
budget
versus
the
master
planner,
both
the
the
first
one
telling
the
story
of
revenue,
changes
and
budget
challenges
which
is
assigned
to
the
budget.
This
may
just
be
a
detail,
and
so,
but
I
just
want
to
be
clear.
I
think
it
is
important
for
the
master
plan
to
have
that
context.
A
Z
S
A
A
On
the
major
infrastructure
maintenance,
this
is
one
that
really
noticeably
declines
from
2019
to
2020
from
nine
hundred
ninety
thousand
to
three
hundred
thousand
and
it
looked
like
the
poor
farm.
Stabilization
is
not
in
that.
That's
in
the
next
bucket.
That's
in
the
stabilization
bucket,
so
I'm
curious.
What
is
in
the
major
infrastructure
maintenance
bucket?
That's
so
prominent
in
nineteen,
but
drops
way
off
in
2020
yeah.
Z
That's
great
in
the
major
infrastructure,
it's
primarily
trails
and
trail
heads
and
visitor
amenities,
so
the
nine
ninety
figure
for
next
year
includes
an
increase
in
the
the
youth
cores
that
we
work
for
on
the
others.
Our
work
with,
and
the
other
service
course
to
help
us
address
some
of
that
backlog.
In
addition
to
our
temporary
and
standard
staff,
and
so
you'll
see
in
like
mal
hi
youth,
core
and
ready
to
work
in
bridge
housed,
a
number
of
other
partners
will
be
able
to
work
with
them
and
in
a
greater
way.
Next
year,
I.
Z
A
Z
Y
Had
one
question
that
it
seems
to
have
come
up
quite
a
bit
recently
just
dealing
with
the
issues
of
mineral
rights
and
that
there's
been
a
lot
of
public
concern
about
the
fact
that
we
own
a
lot
of
property
but
not
down
lying
mineral
rights
right
and
I,
see
that
we
have
$100,000
as
the
allocated
budget,
which
sounds
like.
Maybe
that
could
buy
some
minerals,
but
probably
not
all
that
many
given
what's
out
there
and
I
was
just
wondering
if
you
had
any
way
of
putting
that
into
perspective.
For
us.
AA
We're
doing
a
really
thorough
in
depth
analysis
right
now
of
all
the
mineral
rights
that
we
own.
Those
properties
were
we
owned
fractional
mineral
rights
and
those
properties
in
which
we
own
none
of
the
mineral
rights,
and
we
expect
to
have
that
analysis
wrapped
up
really
soon,
but
we're
starting
to
get
some
preliminary
information
to
kind
of
provide
you
with
a
scope
of
the
issue
in
front
of
us
in
terms
of
mineral
rights.
AA
So
we
do
carry
over
mineral
CIP
monies
that
aren't
used,
and
so
we
have
about
seven
hundred
eighty
five
thousand
dollars,
including
carryover
and
current
year,
CIP
budgeted
towards
mineral
rights
acquisition.
The
other
thing
that
we've
done
between
the
land,
acquisition,
CIP,
the
mineral
and
the
water,
is
that
if
one
fund
is
short
and
we
want
to
do
a
priority
acquisition,
as
we
could
use
funds
from
those
three.
AA
So
if
we
have
a
big
mineral
rights
acquisition
project
that
we
want
to
pursue,
but
that's
the
Epis
a
little
short,
we
could
take
that
from
the
land
acquisition
CIP
to
cover
that.
But
getting
back
to
your
main
point,
the
$785,000,
while
a
good
start,
would
be
a
little
dent
towards
the
progress
if
the
goal
was
to
acquire
almost
all
the
mineral
rights
that
we
could.
AA
That
with
where
we're
short
on
the
mineral
rights
acquisition
and
out
of
that
starting
to
kind
of
hone
where
that
priority
acquisition
zone
would
be,
and
then
to
do
an
analysis
is:
do
we
have
some
low-hanging
fruit
here
within
that
priority
area,
because
all
rights
acquisitions
could
be
a
very
complicated
thing,
because
if
it's
a
split
estate,
it
could
be
owned
by
multiple
entities,
and
we
were
talking
about
a
very
complicated
situation
there.
But
we
could
have
some
situations
where
acquisitions
could
make
sense.
AA
A
Comment
or
two
one
is
that
I
my
impression
was,
but
please
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
that
the
hundred
thousand,
which
is
I,
think
been
a
stable
number
for
quite
a
few
years,
was
essentially
what
we
thought
we
would
need
to
buy
the
mineral
rights
on
new
acquisitions,
and
you
know
in
my
I
long
as
I've
been
on
this
board.
I
think
we
have
acquired
the
mineral
rights
on
may
be
all
but
I
may
be.
A
I'm
assuming
I,
but
that
the
fact
that
we're
a
municipality
doesn't
exempt
us
from
state
laws
on
statutory
or
sometimes
called
forced
pooling
that
just
because
you
own
the
mineral
doesn't
mean
that
you're
immune
from
your
neighbor
drilling
under
you.
That's
correct!
Think
we
we
get
around
that
problem.
Yeah.
AA
It's
an
educational
issue:
y'all
you
know,
need
to
understand
better
the
public
and
and
and
otherwise
is
that
acquiring
all
the
mineral
rights
certainly
helps
protect
the
surface
of
the
land,
but
it
doesn't
guarantee
that
the
minerals
underneath
those
lands
could
be
extracted
through
force,
pooling
or
or
such.
So
it
does
offer
a
greater
surface
rights
protection
when
you
almost
all
the
bundle
of
mineral
rights,
but
it
doesn't
guarantee
that
the
mineral
rights
underneath
couldn't
be
extracted
through
the
forest,
pooling
type
of
situation
and.
Z
And
actually
that
2.5
million
addressed
the
interim
space
and
so
the
way
we
phased
out
this
project,
the
last
couple
of
years
of
funding
have
supported
the
move
to
the
interim
location,
including
renovations,
etc.
That
were
needed
to
get
us
into
that
space
in
a
couple
of
months
and
that
one
hundred
thousand
is
simply
for
the
feasibility
study.
Z
We
got
some
feedback
last
year
during
the
city
council
study
session
that
our
lease
payment
should
move
into
our
operating
budget,
which
is
that
very
accurate
at
the
time
of
the
budget
we
didn't
know
yet
what
our
location
was
going
to
be,
and
so
that
was
reflected
in
the
CIP
in
a
sense,
moved
out
and
it'll
be
reflected
in
the
operating
budget.
Okay,.
AB
C
We've
certainly
seen
a
lot
of
comment
on
this
issue
or
concern
about
this
issue
during
the
master
plan
of
public
input,
processes
and
I
know
that
some
aspects
of
what
you're
doing
probably
are
a
lot
like
our
acquisitions
analysis.
We
wouldn't
make
it
public,
but
I
think
it
would
be
good
if
you're
able
to
prepare
some
sort
of
report
in
the
next
few
months.
C
Three
months
gives
the
public
some
sense
at
a
broad
scale,
yes
out
where
we
stand
and
what
our
risks
are,
and
it
also
helps
the
public
better
interpret
the
amount
of
money
we're
putting
towards
this,
and
things
like
that.
So,
as
you
said,
there's
a
lot
of
Education
to
happen
here,
and
so
this
is
a
challenging
subject
to
address,
but
I
think
the
sooner
we
do
something.
The
better
yep.
AA
And
we
are
wrapping
up
in
Bethany,
Collins
or
property
agent
is
leading
the
effort
on
that
research
going
back
all
the
way
to
patent
yeah
about
whether
or
not
we
truly
owned
what
we
don't
own
and-
and
we
are
expecting
that
analysis
to
be
wrapped
up
in
them
in
the
next
few
weeks.
And
we
would
love
to
come
back
to
the
board
and
give
you
some
some
reports
of
what
we're
finding
well.
C
Y
C
Y
Just
have
one
sort
of
follow
up
question:
that's
actually
one
level
above
CIP
since
I've
got
you
here.
I
know,
there's
no
we're
discussing
that
the
tax
is
gonna
run
out
and
I
just
wondered
if
that's
like
well,
the
taxes
get
around
and
then
that's
done
or
like
well,
and
then
we
just
passed
another
tax
or
that
we
try
to
pass.
Another
tax
seems
like
you're
budgeting
for
not
another
tax.
Is
there
a
mindset
behind
any
of
this
that
could
be
made
of
a
veil
to
us
tonight
or
anything
I.
Y
Z
C
Perfect
Thanks,
just
a
few
thoughts
and
I
really
appreciate
what
staff
has
done
to
try
to
address
some
of
our
vague
questions
on
vague
statements.
So
I
really
do
appreciate
it
Ike,
as
always,
I
think,
there's
more
that
we
can
do
to
create
sort
of
our
elevator
speeches
or
answers
to
the
public
if
they
say
how
are
you,
gonna,
replace
the
nine
million
and
so
I
think
you've
done
a
really
good
job
of
showing
how
our
revenue
is
expected
to
change
over
time.
C
C
Here's
what
we're
targeting
as
our
long-term
expenditure
rate,
but
in
the
meantime,
we're
going
to
use
these
other
funds
and
try
to
cushion
the
landing,
etc,
etc,
etc.
So
I
think
you've
made
great
progress
on
that.
Whatever
more
you
can
do
to
help
us
understand
would
be
great
another
thing,
and
this
gets
to
a
point
that
kevin
was
making
about
seeing
the
changes
and
what
we're
going
to
invest
in
next
year.
C
I'm
wondering
if
we
ought
to
try
to
do
some
crosswalks.
You
folks
are
always
thinking
hard
about
what
pot
different
money
should
be
put
in
from
an
accounting
perspective
and
I
think
it
makes
sense.
But,
for
example,
it
may
be
difficult
now
for
folks
that
wonder
well.
What
are
we
putting
into
the
North
TSA
implementation
to
find
that,
because
it's
been
moved
around
a
bit
and
so
I'm
wondering
if
for
high
visibility
projects
that
would
be
through
for
things
that
public
has
been
heavily
involved
in?
C
Might
we
do
a
crosswalk
that
says
here's
what
we're
spending
on
this
implementation
this
year
this
year
this
year
and
it
could
be
found
in
one
spot,
just
something
to
think
about
another?
And
maybe
you
answered
this
when
you're
answering
tom,
you
talked
to
Ben.
This
is
on
page
7,
you're
talking
about
our
property
acquisition
bonds
and
that
we've
got
an
additional
23
million.
My
reading
of
that
paragraph
is
that
the
priority
acquisition
is
adequately
funded
by
carry
over
in
the
coming
years,
without
using
any
of
the
additional
23
million
in
bonding
authority
and
I.
G
You
I
just
like
to
mention
this
first
on
just
a
terrific
job
since
meeting
with
you
last
month,
really
listening
to
your
input
and
capturing
it
and
sorting
it
and
being
able
to,
you
know,
really
do
a
nice
job
of
providing
some
graphics.
That
help
tell
the
story
that
we
heard
about
last
time
and
to
provide
additional
information
really
an
improving
year
after
year,
the
transparency
of
the
budget
and-
and
you
know
the
feedback
that
we're
receiving
it.
G
G
And
actually
the
other
Lauren
I
am
so
sorry.
I
had
a
little
bit
of
a
brain
glitch
that
I
I,
passed
over
mark
and
I
was
thinking
that
yo
AB
was
right,
but
you
have
a
presentation
Lauren,
you
do.
Do
you
guys
mind
if
Lauren
goes
first
you're,
okay
mark
hanging
out
a
little
bit
longer.
Okay,
I
am
so
sorry
about
that.
That's
why
you
stood
up.
AC
One
of
the
agricultural
mannequin
aiders
for
open
space
in
mountain
parks
and
I'm
here
today
to
talk
about
the
carbon
sequestration
pilot
project
feasibility
study
and,
if
you'll
notice
in
the
title,
there's
pilot
project
study.
We
are
in
like
a
learning
mode
here
and
so
we're
trying
to
figure
out
in
collaboration
with
Colorado,
State,
University
and
Boulder
County
parks
and
open
space.
The
potential
for
open
space
land
to
serve
as
a
carbon
sink
and
offer
some
resiliency
and
climate
change
mitigation
strategies
for
the
City
and
County
of
Boulder.
AC
AC
April
2018
was
the
first
month
where
atmospheric
carbon
dioxide
concentrations
were
above
410
for
the
entire
month,
and
so
it
seems
like
we're
going
up
two
and
a
half
parts
per
million
per
year
and
that
carbon
dioxide
is
directly
linked
to
a
warming
planet,
a
we'll
plant
it,
and
so
we
need
to
be
looking
at
ways
of
both
reducing
emissions
and
also
storing
more
carbon
to
slow
that
curve.
I'm
sure
you've
seen
the
entire
graph
since
1958
and
it's
kind
of
scary.
AC
So
in
terms
of
emission
reductions,
two
scenarios.
This
is
from
a
paper
from
2016
in
nature.
If,
if
we
just
continue
with
unlimited
use
of
fossil
fuels
by
2030,
we're
looking
at
66
Giga
tons
of
carbon
dioxide
equivalent
per
year
and
emissions,
which
is
very,
very
high,
current
trends
were
going
about
60
Giga
tons
per
year,
and
the
big
part
of
this
paper
was
at
the
Paris.
Climate
agreement
doesn't
go
far
enough,
so
even
with
all
of
every
nation,
but
the
u.s.
agreeing
to
curb
their
emissions
and
doing
some
modest
transportation
improvements
and
changes.
AC
We're
still
looking
at
53
Giga
tons
of
carbon
dioxide
emitted
equivalents
emitted
per
year
and
that
still
corresponds
to
three
degrees,
Celsius
increase
in
temperature
globally
by
2020,
100,
and
so
really.
This
paper
was
pointing
to
that.
We
need
aggressive
action
to
really
curb
emissions
and
start
sinking
more
carbon.
In
order
to
avoid
that
scenario,
and
so
one
of
the
recommendations
was
you
know,
major
investments
in
agriculture
and
linkages
to
land
use
has
to
do
with
conversions
and
obviously
deforestation,
and
things
like
that
and
clear
cutting
to
make
room
for
agriculture.
AC
So
so
last
year
Boulder
County
under
the
leadership
of
Suzie
strife.
We
commissioned
a
report
with
mark
Easter
from
CSU
to
look
at
what
we
can
do
in
the
city
and
county
to
use
our
our
open
space
lands
to
sequester
carbon,
both
in
the
grasslands
and
rangelands,
and
also
the
cropland
fields
and
forests
and
our
residential
areas
and
the
questions
that
they
were
asking
really
concerned.
What
agricultural
practices
are
feasible,
where
should
they
be
implemented?
How
much
compost
might
be
available?
AC
That
would
end
up
in
a
landfill
and
recycling
that
back
to
farmland,
and
so
that's
just
a
reduction
methane
emissions
from
landfills,
and
that's
where
we
see
that
big
benefit
there
and
so
the
trucking.
You
know
the
trucking
of
the
compost
is
a
minor
fraction
and
really
that
benefit
is
about
reducing
methane
from
landfill
and
it
also
opens
a
landfill
space.
So,
on
those
three
different
systems-
irrigated
cropland,
irrigated
hay
and
pasture
in
the
rangeland,
we
get
that
big
reduction
in
greenhouse
gas
emissions
from
big
compost
applications
there.
AC
Does
this
equip
funding
and
that's
why
you
see
cost
per
ton
with
equipment
without
a
clip,
so
they
underwrite
some
of
the
costs
for
practices
that
they
know
are
beneficial
for
the
environment.
So
in
this
graph
you
can
see
the
different
costs
of
these
different
five
different
with
and
without
equipped
funding.
AC
So
just
this
one
final
graph-
and
you
have
these
all
here
in
case
they're-
not
clearly
visible.
The
irrigated
cropland
has
the
greatest
potential
for
greenhouse
gas
reductions,
followed
by
irrigated
hay
and
pasture
and
then
by
rangeland,
and
that's
really
driven
by
moisture
and
then
reductions
in
tillage
and
the
compost
applications.
AC
So
based
on
that,
the
phase
one
recommendations
from
the
study
were
to
do
producer
based
trials
on
these
three
different
systems,
and
so
the
county
is
starting
this
process
right
now
and
so
that
your
gated
cropland
is
going
to
have
all
five
treatments.
So
the
compost,
additions,
tillage
reductions,
little
release,
fertilizers
cover
crops
and
when
brakes
implemented
on
a
bigger
scale.
So
that
can
be
a
demonstration
for
farmers
in
the
area
and
then
the
irrigated,
hay
and
pasture
will
have
the
three
relevant
treatments.
AC
The
compost
addition
slow-release
fertilizers
and
one
breaks,
and
the
rangeland
will
just
receive
compost
additions
because
the
others
are
not
really
relevant
or
easy
to
implement,
and
so
just
really
quickly.
The
Associated
data
that
we
expect
to
get
include
the
yield
and
forage
production.
The
management
activities.
How
easy
it
is
to
implement
is
this
feasible
for
people
to
implement
the
cost
of
the
inputs
again.
AC
Now
of
working
with
a
named
brown
one
of
our
open
space
properties
and
setting
up
a
treatment
scenario,
that's
looking
at
different
treatments
around
soil,
remineralization,
biochar
applications,
inoculated
compost
and
strategic
grazing,
in
order
to
see
if
we
can
store
carbon
and
some
of
these
lands
that
would
otherwise
not
be
used
at
all,
and
so
just
to
summarize
and
talk
about
next
steps.
This
is
really
a
collaborative
project.
AC
For
that
because
once
they're
not
an
Ag,
they
kind
of
just
are
out
there
and
we'd
like
to
see
them,
be
productive
and
keep
the
soil
in
place.
And
talking
about
these
ongoing
partnerships,
the
city,
the
county
and
RCS
and
Cooperative
Extension
have
been
putting
on
a
series
of
soil
health
conferences,
and
so
we
will
be
having
our
third
one.
This
December
and
dr.
AC
C
C
I
think
you
and
all
the
other
people
working
on
this
if
God
is
connected
to
really
smart
people
that
have
contacts
all
over
the
world
working
on
these
issues
and
are
very
smart
scientists
and
so
I
think
that's
a
wonderful
thing
when
you
sometimes
when
there's
a
great
deal
of
public
interest,
you
can
end
up
doing
things
because
people
are
interested
in
doing
them
and
they're
coming
out
with
the
wrong
outcomes.
They're,
not
learning
anything,
and
so
I.
C
Just
am
delighted
that
we're
working
with
these
folks
I
think
they
recognize
and
new
folks
recognize
that
most
of
the
land
we
have
is
not
lands
that
are
the
most
suitable
for
carbon
sequestration
and,
in
fact,
may
present
real
challenges
for
trying
to
do
improvements
in
soil,
health
or
carbon
sequestration,
without
causing
as
much
damage
as
we
would
in
terms
of
benefit
produced.
So
I
really
appreciate
that
folks
are
doing
some
pilot
studies
and
going
into
this
carefully
so
that
we
can
move
forward
really
with
the
scientific
basis
for
what
we
do.
C
My
overall
impression,
not
that
it
matters
is
that
if
we
continued
for
a
lot
of
effort
into
soil
health,
we'll
probably
accomplish
about
90%
of
what
we
would
do
with
carbon
sequestration.
That's
just
my
sense
of
this
that
that's
sort
of
the
pathway
that
gets
you
a
lot
of
the
benefits
of
of
carbon
sequestration.
So
anyway,
I'm
glad
we're
doing
this.
Thanks
for
all
the
work
you
folks
are
putting
into
it.
A
AC
That
would
be
a
great
thing,
so
I
mean
we
don't
know
if
this
is
gonna
work
again
we're
in
learning
mode,
but
doing
nothing
also
doesn't
work
and
so
I
think
whether
it
works
or
doesn't
work
I
think
we're
gonna
learn
a
lot
as
a
staff,
and
we
have
the
budget
set
aside.
We
have
the
budget
from
our
partners
and
we're
you
know
with
the
fiscal
constraints
were
being
very
mindful
of
that,
and
you
know
soil
is
something
you
can't
make
very
easily,
and
so
we
need
to
keep
what's
there
in
place.
Y
AC
This
is
a
really
good
question
Kevin,
and
this
was
one
of
the
things
we
went
back
and
forth
on
a
lot
and
so
they're
gonna
take
some
samples
within
that
each
plot,
so
they're
gonna
have
to
two
of
each
site,
and
so
the
rangeland
site
is
actually
gonna,
be
a
replication
of
ongoing
work
in
California
and
they're,
hoping
that
that'll
just
be
another,
replicate
right
and
so
they're,
not
true
replicates
in
an
experimental
sense.
That's
why,
on
the
city
of
Boulder,
Linn,
we're
gonna
be
doing
replicates
so
that
we
can
say
definitively.
AC
This
is
significantly
different.
This
is
biologically
important.
I,
don't
know
if
we'll
be
able
to
do
that
with
a
cropland
hey
past
year.
Maybe
the
results
will
be
so
compelling
that
you
don't
need
statistical
analysis.
Maybe
it
something
that
just
hits
you
right
between
the
eyes
and
I
think
that's
really
reflected
in
the
scale
of
those
tuned
to
the
plots
that
you're
gonna
have
you
know
a
10
acre
control
on
an
80
acre
side
by
side,
and
so
you
know,
given
that
there's
so
many
unknowns
about
how
this
is
going
to
work.
AC
Y
AC
AD
AD
Okay,
I'm
here
to
chat
about
three
things
tonight:
the
community
engagement
so
far,
the
preliminary
draft
focus
areas
and
also
the
next
steps
just
to
it's
always
good
to
check
in
we're
at
you
can
see
the
diagram
up
on
the
screen
and
it
tells
us
we've
got
through
the
system
overview
section
and
we're
moving
into
the
focus
areas.
After
that
we'll
be
moving
into
developing
this
strategies.
AD
Terms
of
the
engagement
summary
I
think
you
know
after
following
you'll,
have
a
feel
a
bit
humble
I'm,
not
sure
I'll
be
a
little
justice
in
terms
of
the
type
of
work
they
did
is
frankly,
an
example
of
support.
We
got
from
the
process
committee
in
terms
of
taking
an
inclusive
approach,
which
was
include
in
reaching
out
to
youth
and
I.
Think
that's
a
great
example.
In
total
we
had
2,000
people
who
we
directly
reached
and
I
think
that
really
sort
of
reflects
the
effort.
AD
AD
If
someone
would
like
to
pick
it
up,
and
now
there
are
reference
for
you
as
we
get
into
the
focus
areas,
but
we
did
also
release
on
May
7th
the
draft
findings
report,
which
is
this
report
here
for
folks,
and
that
explains
the
engagement
process
we
used
and
frankly,
to
get
to
the
point
where
right
now,
I'd
want
to
be
real
clear
that
the
focus
areas
and
the
related
topics
truly
reflect.
The
public
comment.
AD
We
received
there's
been
a
in-depth
process
by
staff
to
analyze
all
the
comments
in
this
draft
findings
and
Appendix
A
in
Appendix
B.
All
the
public
comments
are
included,
so
folks
can
see
transparency
there
in
terms
of
what
people
said
and
then
how
they
came
to
emerge
as
focus
areas
and
related
topics.
AD
During
the
engagement
process,
we
really
can't
be
Curt.
Thank
you.
We
did
have
some
innovative
approaches,
but,
as
part
of
the
process
committee
could
point
it
out,
we
should
still
use
our
traditional
process
and
that
led
to
the
open
house,
you
see
before
you
about
a
hundred
people
attended.
It
was
a
great
example
for
people
to
go
through
examples
of
the
system
over
you
report,
which
is
again
part
of
this
initial
window
by
the
information
to
get
feedback
from
people.
AD
Think
a
big
success
with
a
Mahina,
open
space
effort,
I
think
how
many
400
people
perhaps
attended
that
day.
Jeff
and
Paige.
Do
you
attract
a
good
crowd,
but
in
truth,
it
was
great
to
see
the
way
it
was
organized
in
the
sense
of
yes,
there
was
entertainment
but,
as
you
noticed,
I
think
the
folks
that
attended
the
tables
were
set
up
to
really
get
valuable
feedback
from
the
community.
AD
We
moved
into
something
new
for
us
and
I
think
this
was
really
helpful.
It
was
the
idea
of
micro
engagements
and
this
is
really
where
the
inclusiveness
began
to
show
itself
in
our
process.
You'll
see
on
the
bottom
right
an
example
at
a
trailhead
of
a
micro
engagement
where
Deb
Cushman
is
actually
reaching
out
to
people
directly
to
get
input
on
the
master
plan.
We
did
it
working
with
the
Latin
X
community
people
experiencing
disability
and
the
idea
is
that
staff
when
they
typically
do
a
program.
AD
Let's
say
it's
on
environmental
education,
we're
basically
tagging
on
the
master
plan
process
to
reach
out
at
communities.
We
don't
typically
work
with
and
I
think
that
is
a
model.
Frankly,
we
can
use
in
the
future
and
will
continue
to
use
because
it
really
does
create
that
diverse
array
of
comments.
AD
We
did
radio
outreach
to
the
spanish-speaking
community
and
in
other
words,
all
of
these
efforts
are
pretty
new
for
us,
but
it
was
us
trying
to
model
the
new
city's
approach
for
engagement
and
we
really
do
appreciate
the
process
committee
pushing
us
to
go
in
this
route.
It
was
nice
to
read
feed,
hear
feedback
from
two
council
members.
One
said
it's:
the
best
engagement
they've,
seen
in
a
department,
citywide
process,
and
they
ever
said
it
could
be
a
model
for
the
city,
so
credit
the
staff
for
that
effort.
AD
Okay,
we
get
to
the
fun
part
the
draft
focus
areas.
What
I'd
recommend
is
using
the
executive
summary
just
to
guide
you.
If
you
can't
read
what's
on
the
screen
and
we
came
up
with
five
focus
areas
that
reflect
the
community
comment:
ecosystem
health,
and
that,
basically,
is
the
top
piece
of
this
focus
area.
AD
The
two
were,
as
it
were,
is
the
title
and
then
underneath
we
used
a
description
which
was
using
the
words
we
heard
from
the
community
when
they
talked
about
what
was
important
to
them,
the
value
statement,
and
during
that
process
we
basically
took
all
the
comments
in
terms
of
related
topics
as
in
grouping
them.
You
know
your
lump
and
split
lump.
AD
Instead,
it's
an
iterative
process,
but
the
related
topics
reflect
sort
of
individual
phrases
that
came
through
individual
hopes
concerns
and
they
led
to
the
second
line,
which
is
more
like
the
sentence,
the
value
statement,
and
then
the
top
line
is
the
topic.
So
the
first
one
is
ecosystem
health
using
the
best
available
science.
We
protect
healthy
ecosystems
and
mend
those
we've
have
impaired
for
in
terms
of
their
excuse
me
in
terms
of
the
related
topics.
To
that
it
is
interesting.
AD
The
second
focus
areas
are
focus
area,
that's
emerged
is
resilience.
Environmental
change,
we've
heard
quite
a
bit
about
that
tonight.
It
is
an
emerging
topic
in
terms
of
over
the
last
10
years,
as
opposed
to
the
last
50
years
of
the
department
and
in
terms
of
a
value
statement.
It's
by
helping
nature
and
during
thrive
we
ourselves
injurer
and
thrive,
and
actually
what
we're
hearing
in
there
in
terms
of
related
topics
as
the
public
seeing
is
quite
important
so
far
as
mitigating
fire
and
risks
an
exploring
carbon
sequestration.
Two
topics
you
heard
from
tonight.
AD
The
third
focus
area
is
enjoyment
and
recreation
management
and
the
value
statement
is.
We
are
united
by
our
enjoyment
of
nature
and
our
obligation
to
protect
it.
What
we're
hearing
from
the
public
again
in
that
area
in
terms
of
related
topics
is
importance
on
carrying
capacity
and
visitation
growth,
how
we
manage
that
from
both
a
potential
impact
to
nature,
but
the
ensuring
and
enjoyable
experience,
and
also
maintaining
trails
and
facility
condition,
is
coming
up
as
an
important
topic
for
the
fall
focus
area.
It
is
community
connections
and
inclusion,
and
the
value
statement
is
together.
AD
We
build
a
community
of
stewards
and
seek
to
find
our
place
in
nature.
The
related
topic
that
is
popping
up
there's
the
connection
to
youth
in
nature.
Specifically,
you
know
a
third
of
our
nature
deficit
disorder
and
then
also,
we've
heard
quite
a
bit
of
few
comments
on
connecting
communities
to
agriculture.
AD
The
final
focus
area
is
perhaps
more
an
operational
one
and
we
still
heard
about
this
from
community,
but
we
did
leave
room
as
we
develop.
These
obviously
based
upon
the
system,
overview
report
and
staff
knowledge,
the
scientists
in
our
department,
the
budget
managers,
the
planners,
you
know
the
drill
folk
is
there-
is
room
in
these
focus
areas
to
include
how
we
manage
the
land
from
a
staff
percent
perspective.
So
obviously
financial
sustainability
came
through
from
the
staffs
perspective
is
very
strong.
AD
The
value
statement
is
preserving.
Our
legacy.
Land
system
requires
preparing
for
the
future
and
a
couple
of
things
that
popped
up
were
and
anticipating
sunsetting
taxes,
diversifying
new
and
potential
funding
sources,
as
well
as
updating
the
asset
management
systems
which
we've
actually
begun
the
process
of.
So
those
are
the
five
focus
areas
that
have
emerged.
AD
AD
You'll
see
in
the
second
line,
OS
MP
master
plan
org
is
where
you'll
find
that
questionnaire
he's
oak,
complete
that
then,
while
we
get
the
better
and
then
from
there
we'll
be
heading
into
a
period
where
we
go
to
a
joint
study
session
and
at
some
point
we'll
be
approving
these
focus
areas
before
we
move
into
the
strategy
window.
The
way
that
will
work
is
basically
the
Lee
on
June
12
for
joint
study
session
with
the
Borden
Council.
AD
From
that
note
that
me
I
just
want
to
be
clear.
No
decisions
will
be
made
of
that
meeting.
It's
just
getting
input
and
then
we
will
have
on
June
13th
if
we
can't
fully
resolve
all
matters
at
that
joint
study
session
of
things
emerged
that
need
a
little
bit
more
study,
believing
room
on
June
13th
for
the
board
meeting
to
have
a
study
session
to
look
at
whatever
comes
out
of
that.
AD
If
there
is
additional
things,
we
need
to
look
at
from
there
we'll
move
in
the
board
and
council
approval
of
focus
areas
and
with
that
will
then
be
able
to
move
into
the
idea
of
the
related
topics
which
are
included.
Aren't
being
approved
by
recommended
by
the
board
or
the
council,
but
the
related
topics
will
give
us
guidance
as
to
where
to
focus
next
in
terms
of
the
strategy
development
taking
the
deeper
dives.
A
Your
expectations
on
comments
on
the
focus
areas
themselves,
I,
don't
think
that's
what
we're
planning
to
do
at
this
meeting,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
all
clear
on.
You
know
what
it
is
you're
expecting
at
this
meeting.
As
distinguished
from
the
you
know,
the
to
study
sessions.
Well,
the
two
June
meetings,
one
of
which
is
a
study
session
ya.
AD
Know
tonight
was
merely
an
update,
just
the
fact
that
we're
in
an
engagement
window
still
and
looking
for
the
public
to
comment
on
this
is
just
a
chance
to
reveal
or
profound
and
then
yeah
give
you
any
comments
on
any
process
or
anything
and
the
everything
you'd
like
to
see
in
addition
to
what
we've
already
done.
I.
C
Guess
I
have
some
thoughts
and
I
agree
with
you
that
we're
not
gonna
try
to
refine,
though
your
proposals
here,
I,
guess
I'm
thinking
ahead
mostly
to
the
council
meeting
I,
don't
know
if
it's
typical
to
have
a
study
session
with
council
when
it's
the
first
time
that
the
board
and
council
is
looking
at
the
information,
and
so
I
will
admit.
I
have
some
concern
about
that
that
it
might
feel
like
we
really
haven't
done
our
homework
and
we're
not
bringing
to
the
council
the
board.
C
That
is
a
view
on
this
and
a
recommendation
or
something
like
that.
I,
don't
know
how
Council
will
feel
about
that.
That's
something
I,
I
guess
I
do
have
a
concern
about
the
other
thing
is,
and
you
know
this
is
an
issue.
We've
talked
about
some
for
a
long
time
is:
are
we
gonna
end
up
with
50
focus
areas
and
what
a
frightening
nightmare
that
would
be,
but
right
now
we
may
have
the
opposite
end,
which
is
that
we
have
five
and
I
think
it
wouldn't
be
a
surprise.
C
C
But
I
I
do
think
this
question
of
what
is
a
focus
area
and
what
is
it
meant
to
do?
It
would
be
wonderful
if
we
had
really
crisp
and
clear
descriptions
and
definitions
frankly
that
we
all
agreed
on
that
we
could
take
to
Council
so
that
when
council
says
well,
what
is
a
focus
area
or
what
is
a
focus
area?
Not
I
mean
how
are
you
going
to
explain
to
the
public
what
it
means
to
put
a
focus
in
the
future
on
ecosystem
health?
Aren't
we
doing
that
already?
C
C
It
would
be
great
if
we
had
some
proposed
definitions
to
address
those
questions
before
we
get
to
council-
and
you
know
you,
when
you
look
at
the
schedule,
you
can
see
that
we
are
not
meeting
as
a
group
until
that
meeting
of
that
study
session
and
so
I
worry
are.
We
gonna
have
enough
preparation
and
structure
at
that
meeting
to
really
make
it
worth
council's
time?
That's
my
concern.
So
I
know
it's
a
lot,
but
I
thought
I
know.
AD
Appreciated
curtam
I
think
it's
a
fair
point.
You're
making
at
one
of
the
reasons
we've
set
up
the
giant
says,
study
session
through
approval
from
well
input
from
the
process
committee
is.
That
is
the
first
time,
but
if
you
think
about
it,
in
this
sense,
we
could
have
gone
to
council
separately
in
yourself
separately,
to
talk
about
the
focus
areas.
We
said.
Let's
combine
that
and
then
was,
if
you
remember
still
coming
back
in
July
to
the
SPT
West
beat
heel
and
to
discuss
the
focus
areas
based
upon
that
discussion.
AD
The
joint
discussion,
so
that's
when
we
can
deliberate
and
get
into
more
detail
and
provide
the
answer.
The
second
part
of
your
question
a
lot
more
clarity.
You
know
the
focus
areas
in
some
ways
are
setting
up
a
and
they
are
community
input
based.
They
do
reflect
the
comments
directly
from
the
community
right
and
they
are
setting
up
a
if
you
like
a
problem
statement
that
the
strategies
will
deal
with
and
start
answer
questions
around
those
focus
areas.
C
Appreciate
that
we
are
taking
at
that
point,
the
public's
input,
which
has
just
ended
and
we're
all
seeing
at
the
same
time,
that's
fine
I,
do
think
we
could
do
more
to
make
it
clear
to
the
council
how
we're
going
to
use
these
focus
areas
because
I
think
it's
obvious.
You
could
have
30
problem
statements
from
each
one
right
and
how
does
that
inform
a
process
that
gets
you
to
a
master
plan
by
making
that
clear?
C
It
sort
of
forces
us
to
come
to
grips
with
how
we're
gonna
use
these
things
and
I
think
having
that
thought
through,
at
least
for
illustration
purposes
before
the
council.
A
study
session
with
us
would
be
really
helpful
great.
Otherwise
this
could
be
a
very
vague
and,
frankly,
I
think
it
might
be
a
little
annoying
the
council
if
they
keep
asking
us
well,
what
do
you
want
these
things
to
do,
and
we
can't
tell
them
so
appreciate
the
feedback
well
sure
definitely
incorporate.
AD
Y
Mean
I'm
always
a
big
fan
of
examples,
and
what
Kirk
gave
I
think
is
a
great
way
you
could
say
as
an
example:
if
we
choose
ecosystem
health,
here's
how
that
would
be
translated
into
the
master
plan
and
then
application
and
why
it
needs
to
be
categorized
as
ecosystem
health.
Instead
of
just
saying
here's.
Some
things
we
should
do
might
actually
be
really
helpful
in
terms
of
like
because
as
I
read
through,
these
I
thought.
Y
You
guys
didn't
think
anything
about
staff
in
any
of
this
like
how
to
have
healthy
staff,
that's
very
competent
and
does
a
great
job.
None
of
that!
That's
not
afraid
already
here,
but
like
great
great
ideas,
didn't
you
like
well
we're
just
gonna
hire
everyone
who
dropped
out
of
high
school
and
you
know
doesn't
know
what
they're
doing.
None
of
these
things
are
gonna
happen.
Y
A
Think
it
probably
is
true
that
our
typical-
we
don't
have
that
many
study
sessions
with
council,
but
usually
there
is
some
level
of
board
input
reflected
in
whatever
it
is
they're
reviewing
and
I
I,
don't
know
if
you're
suggesting
that
we
try
to
get
have
another
meeting
between
now
and
whatever.
That
would
be
a
challenge
to
hold
a
board
meeting
and
then
have
staff
revised
I
think
that's
revised
the
focus
areas
in
a
way
that
would
then
get
it
that
into
the
for
the
June
12th
study
session
is
probably
not.
A
My
guess
is
not
very
realistic.
Thank
you.
You
know
we
can
just
make
clear
at
the
study
session
and
you
know
it's
not
a
defensive
sort
of
thing,
but
you
know
where
we
are
in
the
process
and
they're
on
them.
You
know
two
council
members
are
on
the
process
committee.
They
know
you
know
at
a
general
level
where
this
document
fits
into
the
board's
process,
and
you
know
obviously
you'll
have
board
notes,
offering
suggestions
as
well,
and
you
know
I
think
we
can
navigate
that.
A
C
C
A
Yeah
I
think
that
then
transitions
into
matters
from
the
board,
the
first
of
which
is
the
process
committee
I,
don't
know
well
and
I'd
sure,
there's
a
deal
to
add,
but
Kevin
and
I
were
at
the
last.
So
we're
now
just
reporting
to
you
and
a
large
portion
of
that
meeting
was
discussing
how
to
format
and
sort
of
structure
the
focus
areas,
but
that
is
now
reflected
in
what
you've
seen
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
I
need
to
sort
of
diagram
how
he
got
from
the
process
committee
meeting
to
this
output.
A
I
think
it's
pretty
well
reflects
well
how
we
were
envisioning
the
focus
areas.
We
didn't
talk
about
substance,
but
just
conceptually
how
that
would
be
structured,
and
then
you
know,
one
specific
comment
was
how
to
avoid
having
focus
areas
where
we're
going
to
spend
a
huge
amount
of
time
debating
the
exact
wording
of
something
with
the
belief
that
if
you
influence
precise
choices
of
words,
you
maybe
get
an
outcome
and
I
think
you
actually
had
a
pretty
good.
A
A
There
was
also
a
lot
of
discussion
on
the
online
questionnaire,
but
that
too,
is
now
in
existence,
so
you
know
it.
One
of
the
things
that
got
added
was
this
notion
of.
Are
there
things
you
know
that
we've
missed
and
that's
now
picked
up
and
the
questioner
I
think
faithfully
reflects
the
input
from
the
process
committee
meeting
and
they
the
third
was
going
over
the
schedule
which
I
think
it
was
Daren
response.
A
Frankly,
to
a
quest
that
I
made
put
the
schedule
in
our
packet
the
so
we
have
you
know
after
this
meeting,
the
engagement
window
closes
on
May
20th
we've
got
a
process
committee
meeting,
May
23rd,
but
the
study
session
was
council
and
our
board
meeting
the
next
night.
Then
the
one
thing
I
wanted
to
call
out
was
the
June
27th
process.
Committee
meeting
was
at
least
tentatively
I.
A
Think
the
discussion
at
the
meeting
was
to
tentatively
cancel
that
and
that's
during
I
think
the
council
during
their
during
their
break,
and
it's
been
deleted
from
this
schedule
and
then
you
know,
I
think
we're
on
should
be
on
target
for
the
July
11th
board
vote
on
the
focus
areas,
I,
don't
think
the
process
community
meeting
and
any
you
know
there
were
no
seismic
shifts.
It
was,
you
know,
just
getting
the
focus
areas
under
way,
getting
the
questionnaire
underway,
and
you
know
deleting
the
one
process
committee
meeting
otherwise
status
quo.
A
No
because
Donna
Leybourne
will
be
our
facilitator,
provide
this
to
you.
But
you
know
the
vision
is
that
it's
a
two-hour
study
session
and
it'll
be
broken
down
by
focus
area.
There
was
a
thought
that
we
would,
it
would
be
almost
a
go
around
the
room,
but
that's
that's
fourteen
people
and
five
focus
areas.
My
I'm,
not
the
facilitator,
but
I
have
a
feeling
that
may
get
too
much
that
they
have
to
shorten
that
process
or
the
or
maybe
it's
just
a
lot
of
me
toos.
A
Obviously,
we
have
the
ability
to
be
a
little
bit
more
of
listening
mode
because
we
have
our
own
meeting
the
next
night,
where
this
is
councils,
one
shot
to
influence
this
before
it
comes
to
them
to
revoke
but
I
think
to
some
extent
we're
gonna
have
to
play
that
dynamic
by
here
and
rely
on
the
facilitator
a
little
bit.
But
if
everybody
says
everything
they
want
to
say
on
five
focus
areas
which
cover
a
large
portion
of
open
space,
we're
not
getting
out
of
there
in
two
hours,
I
think
we
are
getting
out.
I.
A
Think
the
to
our
limited
time
cut
off
is
is
a
hard
stop,
so
you
know
have
to
be
careful
on
that
and
I
think
this.
You
know
this
schedule
had
the
effect
of
perhaps
giving
us
a
slightly
larger
window
for
the
when
we
start
for
the
strategies
which
I
think
given
the
relatively
high
level
nature
of
the
focus
areas
is
appropriate.
This
is
gonna.
You
know
the
strategies
are
gonna,
be
a
much
a
much
deeper
and
I
think
probably
more
complex
dive.
A
It's
you
know
my
own
sense
is
it's
pretty
easy
to
just
and
if
someone
says
hey
I'd,
like
you
to
add
to
a
focus
area,
X
the
following
topic:
it's
pretty
easy
to
to
add
that
that's
not
a
lot
of
work
and
when
you
come
to
identifying
strategy
carry-out,
that's
something
you
just
added
that
you
know
that
is
a
lot
work.
You.
C
A
There
I
agree:
I
did
wanna,
you
know
we
are
under
some
real-time
constraints.
Then
we
have
our
own
venues.
There
was
a
proposal
to
have
an
open
house
before
the
study
session
and
Erin
Brokovich
committee
felt
that
that
wasn't
a
great
idea
in
terms
of
transparency
that
that
our
discussions
ought
to
be,
even
though
no
but
houses
by
definition
open
to
the
public.
A
Y
Things,
oh
I'm,
sorry
yeah!
So
since
it
was
my
one
shot
at
the
meeting,
because
you
know
you
so
the
the
one
thing
that
I
brought
it
powered
by
one
time
there.
Basically,
what
I
advocated
for
were
two
things.
Y
The
first
one
was:
is
that
I
pointed
out
that
a
lot
of
the
time
when
they
do
this
sort
of
surveys,
like
the
kind
that's
out
right
now,
you
have
multimodal
results.
So
we
have
norms
where
people
feel
very
differently
about
things,
and
so
the
average
ends
up
being
a
three
and
a
half.
The
people
said
one
and
a
half.
The
people
said
five
and
that's
much
it's
much
more
important
to
know
that
you
have
ones
and
fives
and
hardly
any
3s.
Y
Then
the
average
was
three
so
I
requested
that
they,
you
do
a
better
analysis
to
get
us
a
sense
of
that.
Another
thing
is
to
see
correlations
between
things,
so
do
people
generally
prioritize
questions,
1,
3,
&,
5,
all
the
same
way
they
all
like
it
and
make,
or
they
all
don't
like
it.
So
we
have
a
sense
of
how
these
different
questions
interplay
and
then
the
last
thing
I
said
was
that
for
people
like
me,
who
love
this
sort
of
stuff
make
the
data
available
as
a
spreadsheet?
Y
That's
downloadable
so
that
people
can
do
their
own
stats
with
it.
You
can
put
it
as
a
Google
spreadsheet
or
something
because
essentially
what
the
survey
is
gonna
do
is
deliver
a
spreadsheet
to
staff.
That's
digital,
make
that
digital
spreadsheet
available,
so
that
people
can
do
their
own
analysis
and
see
whatever
they
want.
Hopefully
they
don't
abuse
that.
But
that's
my
thinking
is
that,
like
I'd
like
to
do
principal
components,
analysis
I
would
do
this
distributional
data
I,
don't
want
to
make
staff.
Y
Do
that,
but
I
know
a
lot
of
people
who
really
want
to
chew
on
this
and
making
that
available.
It's
not
a
big
extra.
You
know
it's,
maybe
10
or
15
minutes
extra
work
to
do
it.
Those
were
my
things
that
I
brought
up
at
my
one
chance
at
power
at
the
meeting,
so
but
I
thought
it
was
great.
It
was
a
really
interesting
meeting
and
I
feel
I.
Think
you
know
really
great
that
it's
going
forward
the
way
it
is
now
I'm
ready.
A
So
I
was
raised
the
question
of
whether
we
do
or
don't
want
to
have
a
retreat.
The
reason
I'm
raising
this
is
that
every
have
been
described
as
really
about
the
master
plan
and
I
wanted
to
raise
two
concerns.
I,
don't
want
to
overstate
the
strength
of
this,
but
I
do
want
to
raise
two
concerns
about
this.
A
So
that's
my
concern
about
kicking
a
real
major
intro
to
the
sort
of
the
substance
of
the
master
plan
to
a
retreat
when
we've
got
a
lot
of
study
sessions
already
scheduled.
Those
are
you
know
at
our
usual
time,
and
people
who
wish
to
participate
expect
to.
You
know
that
we're
gonna
be
here,
we'll
be
televised
and
it's
an
easy
vehicle
for
them.
You
know
to
attend
and
listen,
and
they
can
also
do
there's
always
public
participation.
A
You
know
that
night
and
I
guess
I
believe
that
we
can
cover
the
material
in
the
con
me
we're
having
meetings
every
month
on
the
master
plan
that
we
can
cover
that
material
without
a
standalone
retreat,
and
you
know
that
we
also
be
mindful
of
staff
resources,
we're
losing
too
hugely
valuable
people
for
this
process
and
there's
a
there's,
always
a
million
other
things
going
on
and
the
retreats
it.
You
know
it's
a
time-consuming
undertaking
to
have
people
spend
a
good
portion
of
a
workday
ain't.
All
that
you
know
goes
into
getting
prepared
for
that.
A
So
I
just
wanted
one
is
to
make
sure
you
I
have
not
miss
characterized
sort
of
the
vision
of
the
retreat
you
may
get
our
sense
of
is
this
something?
Maybe
we
don't
need
to
do,
or
at
least
play
it
by
ear
and
if
it
starts
to
feel
like
these
were
getting
way
behind
on
these
study
sessions
and
our
meeting,
do
you
know
something
on
the
side
that
we
can
do
it?
But
I
don't
know
that
I
want
to
plan
on
moving
a
large
portion
of
the
substance
to
a
retreat.
C
A
Maybe,
on
a
difference,
well,
I
think
if
there
are
other
topics
that
people
feel
a
retreat
worthy,
you
know
yeah
entirely
open,
I,
think
that's
a
discussion.
Probably
they
wouldn't
want
the
full
board
to
see
what
topics
they
would
like
to
discuss.
But
I
would
say
at
that
point
if
we
believe
we
can
cover
the
master
plan
without
a
retreat,
then
I
would
want.
I
would
suggest
that
any
other
topic
sort
of
arise
because
people
really
feel
in
need,
I
mean
sometimes
people
say
well,
let's
just
have
a
retreat.
A
Yeah
I
forgot
I
have
a
retreat.
It's
not
hard
to
fill
the
time,
but
I
think
that's
bad!
That's
the
cart
before
the
horse.
Why
don't
we
do
it
the
other
way?
Why
are
you
doing
this
and
then
you
know
figure
out
what
the
structure
is
and
sometimes
they
can
delete
all
though
she's,
not
here
but
I-
think
no
problem
saying
this.
Sometimes
the
retreat
is
about
the
fact
that
you
have
a
new
board
member
who
is
relatively
new,
but
that's
you
know.
Karen
is
obviously
extremely
knowledgeable
all
this
stuff.
We
don't.
G
Tom
shared
this
concern
with
us
at
our
agenda-setting
meeting
and
staffs
proposal
really
in
place
of
a
retreat,
and
maybe
we
should
just
get
rid
of
the
term
retreat-
is
to
really
have
a
work
session
on
the
master
plan
and
we
did
follow
up
with
the
master
plan
staff
team
and
they
actually
thought
and
mark
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
that
there,
the
staff
team
believes
it
would
be
worthwhile
to
have
a
work
session
in
the
half
of
July
I'm.
Sorry
in
the
over
the
latter,
half
of
August,
okay.
A
Okay,
so
I
think
that
this
is
about
my
suggestion
would
be
the
discussion
of
since
now
we're
talking
about
we'd
reasonably
be
talking
about
July
and
that
had
some
real
immediacy
to
it
for
now
talking
about
something
that
doesn't
take
place
until
August
and
the
question
is:
can
that
be
accomplished
in
the
context
of
a
study
session,
a
longer
study
sessions
that
require
a
standalone
I
think
that's
a
discussion.
We
might
as
well
have
the
whole
board
here
for
yeah.
A
G
G
Y
Had
one
quick
matter
from
the
board,
just
after
tonight's
brief
presentation
about
the
risks
of
equestrian
traffic
to
equestrians
in
the
Sanitas
area,
maybe
it's
time
to
start
just
putting
on
the
back
burner
the
idea
of
Trail
difficulty
ratings.
A
lot
of
communities
around
Colorado
have
been
doing
this
for
decades,
we're
just
like
ski
resorts,
green
blue
black
and
that's
a
really
low-cost
ad
and
that
might
alleviate
some
of
the
risks
of
someone
riding
a
horse
or
a
bike
or
hiking
or
whatever,
on
a
really
hard
trail
and
they're.
Not
really
ready
for
that.
X
Y
A
Is
the
Stepford
and
I
would
just
add
on
the
it
was
named
the
last
time,
I
look,
but
it's
been
some
time.
The
website
under
accessibility
there
actually
is
a
very
detailed
and
I
think
very
good
rating
system.
But
that's
from
the
perspective
of
someone
whose
mobility
limited,
which
is
a
different
sort
of
categorization,
then
among
the
trails
that
are
already
moderately
challenging.
What
are
the
gradations
within
that?
But
that
at
least
a
portion
of
that
exists?
A
C
Of
us
that
are
really
old
and
remember
what
the
rating
is
on
most
of
the
trails,
because
there
used
to
be
trail
ratings
and
some
were
red
and
some
are
but
I
agree.
It
needs
to
be
on
a
sign
because
if
you
go
to
all
trails,
it'll
tell
you
there's
this
wonderful
little
family
hike
up
to
Royal
Arch
and
that's
you
know,
there's
nothing
suitable.
Only
for
or
anything
like
that,
so
having
it
on,
the
sign,
I
think
is
really
valuable.
C
Y
A
Y
G
X
G
And
I
just
really
quit
because
I
know
we
just
have
a
few
folks
and
everything
but
I
just
wanted
to
you
know
it's
been
very
fortunate
for
me
to
have
this
career
at
the
city.
It's
been
wonderful,
I'm,
also
very
fortunate
that
I
get
to
make
myself
available
to
a
different
possibility
in
the
future.
So
this
is
very
much
a
personal
decision.
G
You
know
one
of
the
things
they
say
is
that
you
want
to
try
to
work
yourself
out
of
a
job
and
I
feel
like
I've
done
that
and
that
there's
the
staff
team
here,
that's
just
outstanding.
You
know
really,
second,
to
none
and
Dan
and
Steve
as
your
interim
leaders
with
the
team
that
the
bench
that
they
have
you
know
the
people
that
are
here
and
then
the
bench
behind
the
people
who
are
here
just
remarkable
and
you
are
in
such
good
hands.
I
have
no
doubts
whatsoever
and
I
just
want
to
tell
you
publicly.
G
I
know
it's
just
a
few
of
you
tonight,
but
it's
been
an
honor
to
serve
with
you
and
when
I
graduated
from
college
I
had
so
much
fun,
I
loved
college
and
I
cried
so
much.
You
wouldn't
believe
it
and
I've
been
here
more
than
seven
times
longer
than
I
was
in
college.
So
if
I
made
this
a
Long,
Goodbye
it'd
be
like
seven
plus
times
the
tears
and
I
can't
do
that,
and
my
daughter
wants
my
graduation
goggles
to
be
on
for
a
really
short
time.
A
You
know
no
long
goodbyes
from
us
either.
Certainly
I'm
sure
I
speak
for
all
of
us
that
we
were
surprised
and
saddened
to
learn
of
your
imminent
departure.
The
it's
in
some
ways,
the
two
most
important
things
for
any
leader
are
to
first
leave
the
organization
better
than
you
found
it,
and
you
inherited
an
organization.
A
But
it's
also
true
that
I
think
a
lot
of
dynamics
have
been
improved.
You
know
very
much
by
the
attitude
that
you've
brought
to
this
and
I
Kurt
wrote
up
some
additional
thoughts
and
I
very
much
joined
in
them,
but
I
also
wanted
to
read
these
to
you.
In
addition
to,
but
I
just
said
that
Tracy
and
this
isn't
longer
maudlin
I
promise.
We
will
miss.
You
miss
very
much
your
leadership
in
your
collegiality.
We
offer
our
very
best
wishes
for
all
of
your
future.
A
This
one
especially
always
bringing
a
positive
outlook
and
sense
of
humor,
even
the
most
difficult
issues
and
decisions
making
a
sustained
and
successful
effort
to
create
the
OS,
MP
asset,
inventory
and
financial
analyses
needed
to
guide
the
challenging
choices
we
are
now
facing.
And
lastly,
as
a
token
of
our
appreciation
and
by
the
power
invested
in
the
board,
we
grant
you
a
free
lifetime
pass
to
all
OS
MP
trails,
as
well
as
all
of
our
board
meetings.
Thank
you
for
your
service.
AA
There
are
no
words
in
that
room
and
did
my
half-hour
interview
there
and
then
I
got
ushered
into
another
room
where
another
group
of
colleagues
sat
and
went
through
about
a
35,
45
minute
interview
there
and
then
finally,
I
got
sure
down
the
hallway
and
it
turns
out
it
was
the
opportunity
to
speak
for
10
minutes
through
the
director,
and
it
was
my
opportunity
and
I
didn't
know
that
that
opportunity
was
gonna
come,
but
just
a
what
I
wanted
and
for
Tracy
to
listen
and
comment
for
about
10
minutes
and
I
walked
out
of
that
conversation,
convinced
that
this
is
the
place
I
want
to
work
at
Tracy.
AA
Looked
me
in
the
eyes
she
was
so
genuine.
The
question
she
asked
me
were
sincere
and
I
sincerely
walked
out
of
that
building,
which
the
car
call
my
wife
and
said
this
is
a
place.
I
want
to
work
for
the
job
and
because
Tracy
or
you're,
a
woman
of
deep
integrity
and
the
one
thing
I
really
learned
and
that
I
respect.
So
much
is
what
she
values
more
than
anything
else
is
organizational
health
and
there's
nothing
more
important
than
the
health
of
an
organization
you
could.
You
could
have
all
the
plans
you
want.
