She and Sam Weaver went to Open Space Board of Trustees to solicit support for CU South. So, of course, she wasn't happy about that.

For 3 years we have watched a livestream genocide, the most atrocious holocaust of our lifetime. And what does this council do?

And your refusal to acknowledge that Israel is committing a genocide with our tax dollars and 38 million in annual investment investment

I'm I just would like you to urge you uh to seriously uh consider uh not considering uh increasing the tip credit.

I live in the Ponderosa Mobile Home Park, where Habitat for Humanity is working with the city to create low-income housing.

I live at the Ponderosa Mobile Home Park, and this project is underway for to stabilize Ponderosa.

trying to eliminate the tipped wage, the offset in the first place, rather than deepening the rift between tipped workers and untipped wage workers

Uh as as Tina Borglin mentioned earlier, the picture painted by Kurt Fern Harbor during the 2019 annexation meeting is very different

the DDA that Boulder's talking about. I just I'm here talking on my personal capacity

people who have a different view from me about the genocide in Gaza and the problems with Israeli war crimes

Boulder Valley Comp Plan amendment procedures, the notification and the screening is pretty obvious what you're supposed to do.

I know that this is a the Fort Chambers project is something that we were doing um in consultation with our tribal nation partners

I was curious if the racial equity tool was used cuz there were several issues that the group brought up

my commitment to take a look at what community sends our way is still balanced with work plan priorities as we had talked about previously in council.

there is an internal investigation happening around the complaints that have been raised.

I was assured two updates on public safety. It is the end of June. We have not had one of those

me of the Boulder Valley School District parents who continue, um, to struggle to ensure that their students are meeting

Last week the Anti-Defamation League filed a federal civil rights lawsuit complaint against the Boulder Valley School District

The Boulder Valley To the Boulder Valley School District, you have one chance to get this right.

So again, my question is is when will we have those updates on public safety for all?

As a government body, we oppose and reject any form of oppression and pledge to support our community members and local entities

shaping the quality of life, economic vitality, and ability to evolve.

Any questions or comments or desire to call this one up?

Our next call up check up check in is item 5B and it is the consideration of a landmark alteration certificate to demolish

Uh we received this application in 2023 and have been working with the applicants, the water association

The board also unanimously passed a second motion recommending that staff work with the applicants to include reasonable high-value, low-cost wildfire mitigation measures

Annexation is being pursued to connect all properties to city water service and constructing required public infrastructure.

approximately 69% of property owners owning more than 50% of the annexation area have signed the petition.

the city will form a local improvement district or LID. So, after annexation, the city manager will propose forming an LID

Um and then a note that there is a $1 DOLA grant, uh which is Department of Local Affairs.

the city does not intend to acquire the Spring Valley Mutual Water Association's water rights, but may monitor related water court activity.

Just curious why it is that we're not interested in those water rights.

the quantity of rights are low, and based on what they're decreed for and where they're located, we really don't have a use for them

does this annexation have any impact to um the current beneficiaries of that leased um water to our local agriculture?

Given the threat of catastrophic wildfires, the neighborhood is very concerned about this.

So, we're surrounded on three sides by open space. We're really on the border of the town.

that's how we got to the position of the city putting together a local improvement district

Look at the funding, put this in your 2027 budget and your 2027 roads agreement

For example, above the blue line, uh flood easements and lots

What's going to be really critical as as was described through the discussion is is being able to move forward the capital improvements

We've heard that a lot of those businesses are minority owned and that they should be aware of the impacts but also the benefits

It would enable preparations for the Sundance Film Festival coming up in about 7 months.

When you look at the BVCP policies, there's many that relate to um enhancing, you know, the downtown of Boulder

The ordinance is what obligates them to pay the minimum wage in the city.

have we analyzed the sales tax revenues that we would make from allowing a business to host such an event

Isn't generating revenue to the general fund intrinsically cost recovery for the work that we're doing?
