what I wanted to talk to you about today is deconstruction of Alpine balsam and it occurred to me in talking to
Alpine balsam is like something that really needs to be thought out very carefully and the reuse value
by 2017 everybody was noted noticing major noise problems in South Boulder it's like having a jet freeway overhead
reconsider Alpine balsam as a homeless shelter instead of offices as a homeless shelter

majority of the hundred and fifty six million dollars is CIP and a large portion of that is in the utilities funds
16 million dollars in the community cultural and safety tax and 8.1 million of that is bond proceeds for fire station three
so the utility fund just for an example the wastewater fund has 32 million dollars alone in CIP
this vision zero implementation is also part of that transportation core and maintenance operations

including it within the framework of the zero waste right I think that's a really important component
it is concerning from the durability and the zero waste approach so appreciate that suggestion
we can definitely look into that we have as part of this process is doing that research
some of our transportation master plan goals we are far behind on our goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector

electric scooters first came to market in late 2017 and quickly proved themselves to be a viable clean transportation alternative

I wanted to just add another additional comment with regards to the outreach to make sure that you outreach to the disability community especially
subsidization from the general fund of marijuana licensing or relying on marijuana tax revenue
help us achieve the comprehensive plan goals of a more vibrant retail environment as well as supporting maintaining affordable retail space
supporting affordable commercial space within the context of the city's core values
the strategy will be how we pursue the comprehensive plan goals of a vibrant retail base
if you take the our overall budget of three hundred and some-odd million divided by one hundred eight thousand people
one third of our overall budget comes from retail sales
so you can just put it on for June 4th so police oversight task force amendments
it's a 72-hour need for housing for these individuals
