we need to divest of Israel and that's the most important one
support what they're doing, but we need to divest from Israel. We really need to divest from Israel.
I would just love us to consider um the language climate benefit
which has long been designated for future urban services and intended for annexation into the city since the 1970s
this request is for a change in the area 3 planning reserve to area 2
we received a total of nine requests for changes to the plan's policies and text
while this request does align well with the comprehensive plans, goals and the latest draft policy direction
it proposes a policy that's focused on sustainable agriculture um water use and modernization of irrigation infrastructure
a vision level funded regional wildfire mitigation program that addresses ignition sources, parcel level targeting, fuel management, structural hardening
the detailed elements such as funding mechanisms, partnerships with ditch companies and infrastructure upgrades as well as on-site farm irrigation improvements
annexation into the city of Boulder already requires property owner initiation through a property owner petition
32 proposes that any future annexation of Gun Barrel be initiated by the residents and removes policy language
the change from the area 3 planning reserve to area 2 is ineligible to proceed
the extent to which wildfire issues orientation thinking um is recommended to be in the update
we've already initiated several code updates, the wildland urban interface code update
ultimately I think you could see some of these trickle all the way down to the capital improvements program
those really are the tools, the implementation tools of the comprehensive plan

as far as wildfire and climate change and having a broad vision, we need to have a strategic plan

Uh another area where uh metro districts often impose and collect um is in additional fees.
this is a mechanism to get at some of the ongoing maintenance um long-term capital improvements outside of the mill levy
privately placed debt is uh common. Um what we're really talking about um are quote developer bonds
still 13 cents of every property tax dollar that our residents pay is the city everybody
using the racial equity instrument during consideration of metro districts to help ensure anti-displacement strategies
when they issue bonds, they are already going to have to give quarterly reports to the market about what's going on with development
urban renewal, downtown development authority, um even looking at the use of our general improvement district
with metro districts, the scope of them setting that as a part of the initial service plan is a really important component
urban renewal, downtown development authority, um even looking at the use of our general improvement district
If there if part of the 10% of the residential is affordable housing, are there um is do you typically limit
you would allow them to do the improvements necessary for the affordable housing but keep them out of the district
It's a part of um the downtown development authority process which is continuing that you'll see in March.
Officials Regional Working Group on Homelessness has a very long name and it also has a vacancy.
