including state state um ballot measures not individual races but ballot measures so um I'm I'm comfortable doing so
the first um policy position change that I want to highlight has to do with urban forestry we've spoken about this before
is recognizing that that we can just be one city among many in the U.S that is seeking funding for urban forestry
so I know Council and the city are engaged in a uh exploration it's more than an exploration it's we're beginning
guaranteed income without causing them to lose benefits it also indicates a support for the federal expanded child
we'd like to eliminate air pollution from uh combustion appliances in billions which uh I did not know I knew that it was an indoor air quality
we'd like to make sure that we have resources to conduct fuel mitigation on residential lands
in terms of mitigating climate risk of wildfire and extreme heat through Forest race Solutions so whether it's planting trees
it looks like we are going to be uh likely to get half a million for the city's affordable housing modular Factory
again affordable housing is a really important thing to the city of course but this is something that we're just not sure what it'll look like
this could potentially go into things like our comprehensive plan or other matters um that we deal with on a daily basis
a bill that would create a State Building Code board to create minimum standards for the Willy the Wildland Urban interface
that very top bullet the producer responsibility bill I don't know how much you all followed that but I want to mention it
those packaging choices are going to result in higher fees for the producers
the vision is that every every Coloradan should have recycling access that is as good or better than their
which is makes intermittent sources of energy work a whole lot better for providing grid reliability
all of that means we're a whole lot better able to maintain grid reliability and stability
what are the barriers that are preventing or impeding your ability to get things done around your climate plan your greenhouse gas plan
for a policy that's significant to this city and which we're going to work with Excel to do undergrounding
manufactured home Community pad rent stabilization which is you know we've discussed that a little bit
when we were working on mobile home legislation last year is some Advocates said no let's not include that from mobile home
I have some concerns like that people are being um given you know Keys rather than uh the real Supportive Services
they would address the needs of high utilizers um help get them out of uh the unhoused situation
we talk about um protecting um immigration data but I think in this climate that we're in where our rights
I think ending homelessness itself is very hard so I think uh reducing or some of the language
a specific call out for mobile home pads but I also wanted to express at least my support
Council appropriated 1.7 million so far this year and a special ATP earlier uh this March and have planned appropriation of 28.1 million in the 2023 recommended budget
supporting Capital planning grants and planning studies and not just Capital construction projects making both transformational Investments
they also identified both in in the 22 engagement session and the 21 challenges to finding affordable commercial space with in Boulder
again just making sure we're in a the capital uh infrastructure tax we want to make sure that the vast majority of these dollars are going towards capital projects
