resumed government-to-government tribal consultations with 13 federally recognized American Indian tribes
City Council gave unanimous final approval to recommendations from the police oversight task force to install an auditor monitor
as a path toward cleaner renewable energy sources for the purpose of reducing greenhouse gas emissions
upgrades to the 'but a so water treatment plan resulted in a 20% improvement in filter efficiencies
vision zero is a bold goal to eliminate all serious injury and fatal traffic crashes involving people using all modes of travel
making weeknight parking downtown more affordable in any of our five downtown city parking garages
these free assessments give homeowners recommendations to improve their ability to mitigate risks
we expanded the city's affordable housing goal from 10% to 15%
this project is a collaborative effort between Boulder housing partners and the city once completed 120 affordable homes
not to be forgotten is the final approval of the Alpine balsam area plan which reflects many community values
work on the East Boulder sub community plan will continue in 2020
encouraged the preservation of existing mobile home parks and the development of new manufactured home parks
through coordinated efforts aligned with our homelessness strategy 354 adults exited homelessness last year
seventy three thousand three hundred and eight shelter bed nights of stay were provided to adult individuals
I support the many measures the city has been taking to lower emissions for from our electricity use
Xcel Energy has been making progress but we need to move much much faster than they are willing to go
it feels extremely distasteful reprehensible even to be joking about a wall when one of those groups that we're talking about keeping out of neighborhoods are immigrants
how does it make sense to include legal non-conforming and Adu saturation calculations and more sense
I've been advocating for flood mitigation at South Boulder Creek since 2013
to have housing at Cu South much-needed housing for faculty and upper-class students that is adjacent to transportation
boulders AG water portfolio is an incredibly valuable asset in the fight against climate change
compared to the policy pathway of sticking with Xcel Energy where the decisions of our energy system are largely determined
we didn't have a design that was fully compliant with the floodplain because of all that happened in 2013
because a significant portion of 19th Street resides in the Wunderland Creek floodplain
the proliferation of expensive student Reynolds has seriously affected
student housing because that's what they can make the most money on it's completely disrupting any kind of balance
we have the chance of affordability with the triplex or paying into our inclusionary zoning fund
having just come off of three years on the Boulder housing partners board
think there's also a practical challenge with somebody who doesn't otherwise manage affordable units to manage one affordable unit
quick question could could he build two homes and an Adu if based on the parcel size
one of the fundamental flaws in our affordable housing system is that only through building are we acquiring more money
adopt the proposed amendment to the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan
and tie them closer to the budget process next slide
we're creating a degree of expectation in the community what we can and want to provide
60% of the homes in the wildland urban interface will have received a wildfire assessment
what we're really asking to do here is a commitment so that we can jump on an opportunity to build new stations
so yeah you've walked through a ten year funding plan for both action and vision
which is how the city budgets how much more each year on top of the previous year's amount
think that we need to be patient with ourselves and make sure that we're considering the whole big picture with the financial strategy
to come up with social enterprise kinds of approaches to to create helping citizens create their defensible spaces
the next one East Boulder sub Community Plan launched the financial strategy committee
no change to see you South annexation South Boulder Creek flood mitigation
implement police oversight so that's the action of updating the ordinance hiring the auditor monitor and seating the Oversight Committee
it looks like all of them have a verb except first to use self annexation and South other Creek flood mitigation
homeless homelessness right what does that mean what's the activity around homelessness
so there's a 30% design completion right that's like the next thing we're supposed to get to
one of the things that's missing here for me is microphone mobility definition
or where are we with the East Boulder sub community plan things like that
would be vision zero slash transportation to accommodate both maybe maybe transportation slash vision zero
we will create the burbs around Cu South annexation and south Boulder Creek flood mitigation
allowing non-resident board and Commission appointments that probably doesn't go anywhere
