AI-read · unreviewed41 mentions; quotes verbatim from the captions or agenda, chosen by a model, unchecked by a personthe other big sub population that we deal with are no surprise probably the homeless population
our homeless navigators are homeless navigator now homeless specialists oftentimes in conjunction with the homeless outreach team officers
collaboratively within all of the systems that are addressed the homeless so the coordinated entry system all of the different homeless service providers
Boulder loves to list all the wonderful things immunity can accomplish to add reliability and resiliency including powerline undergrounding
all farmers depend on tillage to grow food but tillage has downsides
soil microbes can't multiply and sequester carbon their numbers drop
I'm here today today to suggest that we as a community focus on climate change and the ecological damage taking place
these plastics and trash are bio accumulating in the ecosystem as well as hindering water flow
why must we imagine mass-produced gas vehicles plastics and dyed clothing just to discard them later
about the history of Cu South in the cities for Dometic mitigation efforts
the property owner submitted the application in October of 2019 and on November 6 the Landmarks Board voted four to zero
your next item tonight is south Boulder Creek of flood mitigation
which is a component of the older Valley comp plan and guiding principles that were agreed on
build up property in the Cu South area so that University can have a hundred and twenty nine acres to develop their land
as part of giving us property for the flood mitigation to develop our project on
if we're protecting for the hundred year flood that's the volume that we're storing in the reservoir
so for storm water there there are water rights in Colorado and and every like Boulder Creek
water rights come into play more when the during drier conditions but that is a requirement of the state
the agreements that have been put into place with the comp plan guiding principles which for our design team
then the university has recently resubmitted its annexation application
getting a sense from you of what you would like us to bring back from those discoveries in terms of annexation status
there's a lot of community engagement or request to us to look at a land swap for the planning Reserve in area 3
the planning Reserve right so doing research on something that C would not want
a potential decision on whether or not to redesign eight the planning Reserve as area 2
during the 2025 Comprehensive Plan Update that's through our current process
I think we'd certainly discussed the annexation update but also looking into these options
that data is data that I think we can get from HHS and Boulder housing partners
if like the older housing partners sites if bhp keeps
there is affordable housing that's owned by someone by organizations other than bhp
there is affordable housing that's owned by someone by organizations other than bhp
it's used sometimes it's referred to as transportation maintenance fee or transportation utility fee
they have a street maintenance fee that they've had since I believe 2007
there is also the possibility of linking it to affordable housing
the levels of sales tax they're considering are 0.6 and 1 cent so that is pretty significantly high amount
the discussion at the meeting was two-thirds transportation one-third for affordable housing
we're deferring maintenance we're not going to find it within our existing budget
there would be funds available in every budget year those funds would go to the general fund
if there is a formation of a library district and it has a taxing funding source that may free up money
rather than we may not have the information by the time the the ballots come before us
I love the new three to three program as a frequent downtown user and someone who worked there
Parks and Rec didn't have that in their budget so that's something for council to be aware of
