Excerpts by topic
AI-read · unreviewed27 mentions; quotes verbatim from the captions or agenda, chosen by a model, unchecked by a personof course the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan is overarching and then we have strategic plans or master plans
the library master plan the open space a mountain parks master plan and the transportation master plan all of which the council approved overwhelmingly
approximately sixty million dollars of debt outstanding has some sales tax tie through the year 2038 in two of our geo bonds
the food tax and us having sort of pledged and that being tied in to our rating
we have the capital improvement plan and then we have the operating budgets and we kind of look at those separately
trying to set aside general fund monies into an infrastructure internal fund for the general fund
a single tax measure which includes both transportation and affordable housing housing as part of that tax measure
it will be a combination of transportation and affordable housing looking at sales tax property tax
with the adoption of the transportation master plan this past September we also had a number of mechanisms
with the County work presumably if there's a county tax it's gonna get distributed particularly for affordable housing for affordable housing projects
where we fall in the general fund where a general fund department we are 13% of the overall general fund budget
a second one on a resilient or prepared community is about homes in the interface and being able to help them prepare their homes in case of a wildfire
we can do a lot as a community to harden it against the threat of wildfire that's a big goal for us
we need to figure out a way over the next couple of years to fund the capital improvements that we need
these need some sort of funding commitment they've been in the see the capital improvements plan for a very long time
our planning department will be working on the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan mid-cycle update as part of that
moving from not just a zero waste application of recycling and composting but also how do we start
so part of the conversation that we need to have is as we look at that Delta or what Xcel Energy is doing
we made an offer to Excel for 94 million to purchase that system
one way to mitigate or to avoid stranded costs would be for us to continue to purchase power from Xcel Energy
this is a cash flow problem not necessarily a debt problem if we only spend seven point eight million dollars
what that clean energy plan must contain is a plan to reduce emissions 80% by 2030
emissions across the entire economy so not just electricity but also transportation industrial loads heating things like that
we've completing our separation design engineering and are currently participating in excels rate case
we have a current solar garden that we're supporting through Boulder housing partners to help with some of their residents
they talked about the goals that we had in the climate commitment all being really good goals in terms of carbon emissions
we will have a study session in May where council will get to discuss what ballot measures you want to consider
