Excerpts by topic
AI-read · unreviewed43 mentions; quotes verbatim from the captions or agenda, chosen by a model, unchecked by a personthese same owners have now decided that they are ready to have their land annexed into our city
this was written in 2008 so this is nothing new with cu south 54 of all u.s wetlands have been drained or failed for development purposes
in 2008 so deja vu all over again we'll see you south no on cu south shame on you
and i was not getting any type of resolution or response from boulder housing partners who i'll refer to as bhp
climate change is an existential threat yet not one public meeting of the excel partnership advisory panel has occurred
achieve the same result boulder currently collects about seven million dollars a year in carbon taxes
is it because it is property tax that we call it out differently than other neighborhood ecopasses
ordinance 8506 establishing the 2021 city of boulder property tax mill levees which are to be collected
a little over 162.4 million dollar capital budget which represents a fairly significant increase over last year
as we discussed last time talking about the budget we are making a number of investments across restoration of services
and last capital improvements as i mentioned 162 million dollar budget there major investments
major investments in water wastewater stormwater projects that also includes
the orange bar is included in that but that breaks out the cultural grants that go out to organizations every year
the community cultural plan has a goal by this phase in the cultural plans final phase to have a budget of over two million dollars
the mix of venues affordability for artists and organizations to rent them and what new venues we should bring online
we're growing alpine balsam on a basis of of transit oriented development which is not happening anymore since the virus
the capital improvements and water is is really stressful when we're growing as much as we are
so many people i've heard from are concerned about rising homelessness and encampments but they see us investing
i also don't see the vision and core values of the boulder valley comprehensive plan reflected in our budget
second climate change has already changed our world but there's a lot worse things to come
the pandemic has led to skyrocketing sales of e-bikes up 240 percent uh this past year alone
the current budget proposal is 1 million short sorry 1 million below funding recommended by the community cultural plan
the public art program has no ongoing consistent funding current funding is cobbled together from different sources
two more general operating support funding for arts organizations three consistent public art funding
three consistent public art funding to allow for maintenance and longer-range planning for rental assistant funds
to implement the community cultural plan city council enthusiastically adopted the cultural plan in 2015
a modest incremental investment now would have an outsized impact on the arts sector
the proposed 2022 recommended budget is actually 23.4 million so just put that out there
a big chunk of those numbers in our budget are utilities so water wastewater and storm water are a huge component of the funding
if there is a big increase in the arts budget i think that along with that there should be some measure of how it's going to be spent
under the comprehensive plan the diagonal plaza is recognized as a neighborhood center as you can see there
through the transportation master plan a rather tmp's neighborhood access tool in the concept plan discussion
which would address specific policies in the boulder valley comp plan and as was discussed by council
middle um affordable housing requirement will be based on 25 percent of the entire development
the ordinance ensures that inclusionary housing requirements will be met through a covenant prior to any residential building permits
the project should have at least 40 percent affordable housing and that would result in a additional 43 affordable units
he promised that what happened nothing he backed out of it now they are doing cash in lieu this is unacceptable
what happens is like with alpine balsam the same thing um we bought it for 40 million now we've put a hundred million into it
we get more and more homelessness nobody can talk about anything at the council candidate meetings except homelessness
i'm director of real estate development for boulder housing partners
what bhp did a few years ago is um they had some um that was not always the case
by putting the affordable units on site as uh everyone understands that is a goal that we have on this council
8a is the council discussion on disbanding the cu south process subcommittee
