• Climate action and emissions0:12:19at this moment

  Climate change was about more than just energy systems.

• Climate action and emissions0:14:00at this moment

  What will the climate look like under different conditions of emissions?

• Climate action and emissions0:24:06at this moment

  The climate is actually a biologically mediated dynamic.

• Heat, cooling and nature-based climate solutions0:26:05at this moment

  that's part of what we're now trying to work on is these nature-based solutions

• Urban trees and the forestry corps0:31:08at this moment

  So let's look at urban tree canopy. From 2015 to 2021 anything that's tan to brown is lost

• Urban trees and the forestry corps0:38:08at this moment

  You can't change the urban forest condition across an entire city in a short period of time.

• Urban trees and the forestry corps0:41:05at this moment

  it's based on the premise that we're gonna be planting trees, we need a plan for how we're gonna take care of them.

• Wildfire-resistant building and landscaping0:49:08at this moment

  there's new guidance about how close to structures you should have trees.

• Heat, cooling and nature-based climate solutions0:51:05at this moment

  Most of you hopefully know about the Cool Boulder initiative, which is over 35 partner organizations in the community

• School enrollment and city-school coordination0:51:05at this moment

  we're actually not looking at the school district too by the way. I think are gonna become a very active partner

• Non-functional turf rules0:54:01at this moment

  Some of you might know the state passed a new law that says we should not be enabling non-functional turf

• Heat, cooling and nature-based climate solutions0:57:13at this moment

  this Nature-based Solutions work is really, I think, I wouldn't call it its infancy anymore

• Energy conservation code0:58:13at this moment

  So that's our energy code looking at our building code. And another is of course looking at our landscaping

• Wildfire-resistant building and landscaping0:59:00at this moment

  Just thinking about wildfire. How do we think about wildfire? How do we think about, or virus gaming? On the water and hydrology system.

• Energy conservation code1:01:06at this moment

  And we really changed our approach and tactic this time and to really use the energy code is an opportunity

• Community energy resilience hubs1:04:00at this moment

  thinking about micro grids, thinking about, resilience hubs and the way solar plays into that

• Energy conservation code1:06:18at this moment

  We have the ability to go back later in the year, which is a standalone amendment to the energy code

• Wildfire-resistant building and landscaping1:08:00at this moment

  You brought forward our draft, community wildfire protection plan. And I just wanted to signal to the board.

• Water supply and drought1:11:02at this moment

  could we add some things in around water and some of the other elements that relate to climate.

• Plant-based food default1:13:10at this moment

  promote plant based. Meals as the default for board and commission meetings.

• Zero waste, recycling and plastics1:14:02at this moment

  the default is to start to move towards no single use plastics

• Zero waste, recycling and plastics1:19:02at this moment

  Minimum wage, right, so no plastic, you know, all the usable

• Zero waste, recycling and plastics1:20:01at this moment

  they will be stuck full of little plastic tongs and plastic

• Plant-based food default1:22:00at this moment

  Especially in the plant based stuff. I feel like that's a little lesser now

• Water supply and drought1:25:00at this moment

  one on really thinking more deeply about water. Water rights, long term planning around water

• Area III Planning Reserve1:28:07at this moment

  So the planning reserve, I think is something that the forward should really be paying some attention to.

• Area III Planning Reserve1:29:05at this moment

  Let's just do what we always said we do and let's move into discussion around area 3 and expanding into those areas.

• Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan1:29:05at this moment

  I think it's a good time as we get into the update of the comprehensive plan, which is going to be kicking off

• East Boulder subcommunity plan and form-based code1:30:02at this moment

  there is the draft form based code update, to implement the East Full Rescue Mani plan

• CU Boulder housing1:32:05at this moment

  village, redevelopment site. My guess is, that may be ready by July.

• Plant-based food default1:36:00at this moment

  how does that affect the plant-based discussion and consensus
