I'd like to voice my opposition against the police oversight board at the last meeting

before the city council tonight is ordinance 849 uh which is a cleanup of the land use code
I am concerned with uh item 3E The Landmark designation for the tea house
tonight's call up is the landmark alteration certificate for 1346
this is very much the thing that you often see in our budgets which we Pro talk about our revenues
I will note uh we have a total of 41 budgeted funds which is a lot
one thing I I want to talk about is our need to um replenish our general fund reserves
so just one slide on the capital Improvement program
because it will meet and exceed the strict strict energy code requirements that we have
so that we could also use that funding for other Capital Improvements and and for other Parks uses
we felt that it was fair to have the Arts budget cut that similar amount
I'm the executive director of the dairy Arts Center
includes an 8% increase in water rates 5% increase in Wastewater and a 12% increase in storm water rates
the importance of building Social Capital as a step toward recovery was an underpinning of the community cultural plan
this is the time to invest in Boulders cultural resources and to recommit to the cultural plan
we have known for a long time that the transportation funding sources have been inadequate
staff has wisely focused on safety and vision zero initiatives as well as maintaining things
when we approved the city's first Community cultural plan
recommended cuts of 177% in our in our Arts budget will have devastating impacts on real people
which is proposing that Council increase funding for the art and culture grants if if Council will add 100,000
the idea that 2C will help the city's financial situation is just not true
the city budget is not affected by the presence or absence of a franchise agreement proposed in ballot issue 2C
the lack of financial analysis of the proposed Excel partnership agreement and determining how it will financially affect
public art has been critical we're hearing that many people
one budget scenario focuses on supporting our 37 General operating support organizations
called put um other Grant categories on hold that we think will not be as useful
the amount of budget that three4 of a million dollars would fully fund General operating support
rental assistance for example yep rental assistance would fit under uh eviction prevention for sure
currently we put some carers ACT funds into um eviction prevention this year
it's going to raise about a million n for both legal services for evictions and uh rental assistance
I had the conversation with the school district we made the decision to compromise with them
I have to believe that the School District budget is is in much disarray as ours is
I think ultimately I'd like if the school district wants um SRO they should pay for them
originally The Hope was to get some direction on what ballot measures you'd like to take a position on
the legislative uh Affairs governmental Affairs committee which consists of four of the nine council members had a recommendation
we would retain the reduced parking pricing curbside pickup locations waved minimum parking requirements Citywide
one of the things that has been very popular is a street closure that Council suggested
we have been talking about a 2021 return of a seasonal uh parklet program
