Excerpts by topic
AI-read · unreviewed30 mentions; quotes verbatim from the captions or agenda, chosen by a model, unchecked by a personto accept financial assistance for the boulder airport through the federal airport coronavirus response grant program
we also deferred capital projects and to protect public health
so this is now the shift to the general fund so if you look at this forecast our 2021 revised revenue projection is 157.4 million
library services support for arts programs and cultural grants recreation services forestry park maintenance
restoring maintenance activities again across the city particularly open space and mountain parks transportation parks and the urban forest
the late edition of the airport fund request for eight hundred thousand dollars uh to to replace the fuel farm at the airport
in total the general fund requests are across seven departments and it totals just over 1.1 million
so we did in 2020 have to draw from fund balance and that draw was nearly 10 million dollars
additional gap funding is recommended in smaller mounds for restorations and neighborhood connections grants and public arts maintenance
this funding would provide a grant to bhp to make investment in endpoint infrastructure
expand and pilot affordable commercial programming for small businesses looking at ways to reduce overall costs for businesses
i believe it's a timing issue with the rental assistance is that um it's just the lag of when those dollars are available
our request is if there is a rush for rental assistance come the lifting of the eviction moratorium come on october 3rd
are you thinking about the one-time dollars used to support mental behavior health services and homeless services expansion
one of those additionally is climate and climate action so i was just curious what kind of thinking might have gone into
to make sure that we're we're really focused on our key uh community goals including climate action
with service provided to bhp sites which is just a portion of the fiber phase 1 project
in the short term i mentioned some work in affordable commercial spaces we are looking at expanded pilots essentially for that
it went towards extending essentially some connections out to those bhp sites
we have a few mobile home sites as well around boulder
ways that our funds could support uh affordable housing in town
one of the things that we've identified as a probable goal for the city is the annexation of the san lazaro mobile home park
we talked about in the context of the east boulder subcommittee plan
one other thing i'll mention in terms of the support for our mobile home
i think that building electrification is a hard nut to crack
in the situation of mobile home parks there would have to be some agreeableness from the mobile home park
i realize that a lot of that falls on the school district but whatever the city can do to provide access to funds
co-responder uh is a huge uh strategy that a lot of our our communities are looking into
because we have a few uh regional co-responder programs that already have footing and could just uh sort of benefit
it certainly seems like it would plug into helping us fill that gap in um services for the unsheltered then house
