June 11, 2026 City of Boulder City Council Study Session

Um they spent a lot of time debating and running legislation around responding to federal policies on immigration.

They were able to pass House Bill 1276, which builds upon some actions taken last year around civil liability

It creates new tools for local governments to address homelessness in a regional context

So in three years we can expect MMO uh transfers to come back and hopefully the budget is a little bit brighter at that point.

we did see reduced funding about 130 million to the state's affordable housing finance fund.

We supported a number of pieces of legislation that support our efforts in the city to provide affordable housing.

So housing and land use is a perennial issue in the legislature.

Senate Bill 40 broadens the qualifications for the affordable home ownership program created through Prop 123

Uh the zones use state sales tax increment financing to fund eligible transit infrastructure projects within two miles of a transportation facility.

House Bill 1224 builds on some work done in the past around the mobile home park act.

So so far there are six ballot measures officially on the ballot uh for November.

There is an initiative with signatures being collected. It's 308.

it's essentially an oil and gas industry industry rightwing sort of attack on electrification

it would preempt our our building codes and our current energy conservation code if it were to pass.

I've recently become aware of this idea of a climate super fund type initiative

I care very much about some of these ballot measures um you know and I'm very interested in having us take a position on them.
