Excerpts by topic
AI-read · unreviewed62 mentions; quotes verbatim from the captions or agenda, chosen by a model, unchecked by a personI'm happy to invite new voices to city council especially when the words affordable housing were brought up
as someone who sat on the BHP board for nine years I also know there are many ways
council that want to work to find Creative Solutions for affordable housing needs there's so much more we can do together
I'm the executive director of the boulder Museum of Contemporary Art I would like to give a warm welcome
the CU South flood mitigation project is incredibly important to us I look forward to working with you
through our education programs and currently we partner with our four organizations to support local artists and local Arts nonprofits
that's what it took to finally get Boulder to look at police oversight and reform
emergency homeless Services reaching our most vulnerable of people since the 2017 elections
Growers include nine commodity Farmers 14 organic farmers eight ranchers 19 osmp sites
we've received some horrific stories of immigrants that have been abused by this company
I thank you for the additional funds in the latest budget to meet some immediate needs
our budget has not grown in proportion to the cities since 2002
we have 10 years to make serious progress on reducing Global carbon emissions
promote a healthy Urban Tree canopy for years to come the tree Titan program educates
a comprehensive 20-year plan for our Boulder Urban Tree canopy foliage Urban canopy covered approximately 16 percent
we can affordably scale regenerative practices to the 12 billion Acres of farmland and patchland across the world
I think of Alpine Balsam as an exam sample of that how are we going to reach that goal
I urge Council to continue to stand with the community to encourage bi to enact other measures that will directly improve the lives of immigrants in Colorado
we are working on the East Boulder sub community plan which involves an area that is mostly to the eastern part
those are a mobile home park which is just adjacent to but the staff decided to include it
current sub-community plan doesn't have much to do with existing housing
that yes we have we are starting this East subcommunity plan but these people were not part of the process
the council passed a or basically localized a state law that um prohibited some of the towing that was going on
and that's in pursuit of our vision zero goals and our transportation master plan goals
we had the adoption of the low emission vehicle standard and a few months later we had an adoption of the zero emission
in our in our case you know at the past Dr could choose and to refer a measure to the ballot
it would basically require the funds to repay the bonding to come from at the expense of other state priorities
it's a way to discourage local governments from being able to provide services to homeless to undocumented immigrants
position 21 would allow us to uh use the inclusionary zoning to include rental Housing Development
support legislation that would have us protect the interests of those who live in manufactured home communities
we're asking you to support and increase protections for the owners and mobile mobile home mobile home residents
repeal the prohibition local government bans on the use or sale of specific types of plastic materials or products
the fifth priority would be to allow us to use our inclusionary zoning authority to require a permanently affordable rentals
promoting a greater understanding of the Nexus between pesticide use and climate change mitigation and adaptation
pesticides are everywhere they're in your food they're in your water
issue is affordable housing here and my own affordable housing which is permanent
want permanently affordable rental to be concluded in inclusionary zoning
we'd like to give local governments the authority to go further the connection to Plastics is that
we're asking for a local authority to ban Plastics but there's also going to be a bill
look towards a 15 minimum wage at the state level
another approach could also be to support um of regional sort of minimum wage
I would love to see us work with our other cities in in Boulder County or across the region to Institute a minimum wage across a region
Fort Collins has undergrounding so they have eight times better reliability than we do
so the other part would be to support legislation that asks the puc to allow municipalities to have input into the growth of their distribution system
how do we make ourselves ready to Island neighborhoods when we have big floods
CU South process check in I'm going to try and make that less than 45 minutes
over the course of the 45 years we've designated 170 197 individual landmarks 10 historic districts
we designate or bring to you to designate new landmarks in historic districts
made improvements to the demolition review process and updated on various design guidelines
it's Boulder's indigenous Heritage African-American and Hispanic communities women's history
University of Colorado Boulder known as CU South as well as a regional flood detention project
annexations in general you know there are legislative process to make geographical changes to municipalities boundary
it's consistent with the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan which is really the community's vision for future development
area three is really the remaining land within the Boulder Valley that the city and county work pretty closely together
area two being oftentimes adjacent to the city and is eligible for annexation but currently in the unincorporated County and that's what CU South is designated as
in 2016 engaged the university and had a community dialogue around the future of this site
the flooding along the South Boulder Creek drainageway in 2015 city council accepted the South Boulder Creek flood mitigation plan
is a draft term sheet that has each of the guiding principles in the comprehensive plan along with where the university
the flood mitigation project that we're talking about would basically protect those people and prevent that type of flooding
our most recent major Capital Improvement project The Carter Lake pipeline from the time we got approval through design permitting and construction
I think CU has said that under this new variant they would not be willing to do student housing
