Excerpts by topic
AI-read · unreviewed54 mentions; quotes verbatim from the captions or agenda, chosen by a model, unchecked by a personi think it's always instructive to start at the broad level from the comprehensive plan
the comprehensive plan designates most of the site as mixed-use residential which is identified as primarily residential
was recently surveyed and determined to be eligible for a local landmark designation
the east-west alley connection required by the boulder valley regional center transportation connections plan
the board generally found that the proposal was consistent with the com plan
this connection wasn't represented in the applicant's initial concept plan for the site
concluded that the building is eligible like i said for local landmark designation
the applicant should consider integrating it into the site as indicated in the memo
if it was council's will to have say more affordable units or more more units altogether is that something that we can mandate or require
the only exception that would allow for a certain percentage of units on the property to be permanently affordable units
under inclusionary zoning we would normally expect 25 affordable units
there's actually no requirement for anything to be provided on site
amongst the town homes we can provide two uh affordable units as well that would be for sale
doing what the builders had requested at the legislature but it sounds like you still see challenges with that
have a conversation with boulder housing partners and see if you might be able to turn
as long as council can hear back from tab prior to the november 30th call-up
it's the human relations commission um that we would put this in front of
that step up from 2021 represents about a 20 increase in property tax collections
if you look at sales tax property tax and other taxes they actually account for 77 of total city-wide revenue
the 2021 end-of-year estimate our recommended budget which we're presenting this evening
here is just a graph of our budgets between 2019 and 2022 the gray bar represents our operating budget
anticipated for under ballot measures 2i and 2j specifically
there is a fairly substantial bond anticipated for uh the stormwater and flood management utility
we're not really adding anything into reserves in the 2022 recommended budget
and additional support of our police oversight program in finance
then i'll just touch uh briefly here on the eviction protection and rental assistance services or e-press
next we will present the six-year cip program and we'll begin with the definition of cip projects
that's the renovation of the alpine balsam pavilion
the majority of the capital improvement plan program is in those two categories of capital maintenance
they do also have some important uh stormwater and flood management projects planned for 2022
three large water utility projects one large wastewater utility project
utilities does have a schedule of planned smooth rate increases and they do that to avoid one-time rate spikes
the 2022 rate increases um on average would increase bills by approximately seven dollars and fifty cents
these are important dollars for enterprise-wide foundational systems
two additional projects to address the strategy of investment in soil health and restoration of agricultural lands
there certainly is some money in this budget for the arts
then what you see in this budget is a full restoration of the grants program
during the course of 2020 we did in fact put together the process improvements that were recommended
process improvements during the course of this year and instead we are implementing those which have been designed
this is our main sewer interceptor project so this is the main sewer that leads basically from from all of town
in our discussion about cu south it came up many times that there were other sources of damage
the way the city worked with the shelter boulder shelter for the homeless back when that was being constructed
one of the biggest gaps we have in services for the unsheltered and in mental health support
as we go and we're starting to update our transportation master plan
that's not a climate change solution that's a climate change disaster
then we have climate change dealt dealt with with cu south that's not a climate change solution
the water rates uh i i can't afford these
thank you for restoring 157k to the cultural grants however the arts funding shows only eight percent growth from 2020 actuals
thank you for restoring 157k to the cultural grants
that's a pretty big gap from the cultural plan i believe around a quarter of a million dollars
there is nothing for public art in the cip and that's a pretty big gap from the cultural plan
several expenditures for deferred maintenance and infrastructure improvements that the airport
since the last master plan in 2007 virtually nothing in the master plan has been accomplished at the airport
thank you for your time and the opportunity to speak on behalf of the boulder airport and the airport community
