City Council Study Session

Enhancing Boulder’s Wildfire Resilience through (1) the Development of a Comprehensive Wildfire Home Hardening Implementation Hub

updated those requirements again in 2025 to require additional consideration uh for larger cargo bikes and ebike charging

letting people know that the shelter is under is under 247 video surveillance

The bike has a hidden tracking device mounted to it, which alerts nearby officers when the bike is moved.

are we putting bait ebikes out because those have a much intrinsically higher value

those bikes are used more as transit and getting to work, getting to school

whether through grants, future alternative financing mechanisms, or budget realignments as a situation calls for

resilient landscapes which is about managing vegetation and reducing hazardous fuels to wildfire risk

Its tier one programs include home hardening, building codes, and emergency preparedness.

we are continuing to implement and plan new crossboundary mitigation projects in the four highest risk sections

We did hear you clearly through the budget process that you want additional information on how work could be accelerated

increasing available home hardening grants funds, expanding contractor training opportunities

the current 2027 approved budget still delivers approximately $1.4 million in enhanced investments to our wildfire resilience efforts

how are we looking at those evacuation patterns and ensuring that our messaging is um supporting the message that the school district wants

they've have really looked at not just being able to to be more efficient at evacuating students

a program in which we faced similar challenges with residential energy efficiency and electrification

we are talking about climate resilience hubs right which is another place where we can do training and gathering

there is a line in the sand where you can't ask for funding directly tied to home hardening measures

that would provide us more flexibility with in our climate fund allocations to then put more money towards home hardening

if we can move towards a climate resilience home you know improvement sort of whole nexus
