I just wanted to take a moment with this new Council to ask that you please uh reconsider the enforcement of the camping ban in Boulder
we should focus on the types of Mobility we've identified as priorities in our transportation master plan
some of the most vulnerable people in the city are being ticketed or even put in jail simply for being homeless
that's going to generate to hopefully offset some of this cost

a 2020 midterm update on the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan
the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan has a very rich history um dating back almost 40 years
so that um we don't have um annexation Wars um between uh neighboring communities
we know that there has been some interest raised in the area 3 planning Reserve
some of the master plan summaries for the transportation master plan and open B and Mountain Parks master plan
the planning Reserve is a total is about 500 Acres 200 of that is owned by the city
you would still need to then meet all of the annexation requirements in state law one of which is conu it
if we were to consider a service a expansion um for all or part of the planning Reserve
the comp plan lays out that the our County we work with our our County counterparts to establish the process
map changes to reflect annexations that have occurred so things that don't require extensive Community engagement

in Boulder Junction with a form based code it gets a little more prescriptive
I'm not sure about the building energy codes being quite as as important
we will have transportation issues and affordable housing issues that this group will be talking about
I was hopeful that they would do a a bid the equivalent to a business improvement district on the hill
I would like to make sure that we really have uh CU South um in hand and transparent and um flowing
downtown business Improvement District board it's it's two actually two members it's not an alternate
Boulder housing Partners that's kind of a special situation um I think we have a lot of people interested in it
I think that's another way that we could get both of you working with the boulder housing Partners
