Unauthorized people are accessing the North border wreck center during non business hours. This is unsafe for patrons and staff
There are security cameras inside the facility. And so, Scott, i'm gonna ask Scotch for our deputy director to add in
We have not seen anything on on the cameras for accuracy.
Urban forest is at the tipping point. Our losses from pests, such as the emerald batch for severe storms and other causes are outpacing our gains from tree growth
Well, their forestry continues their response to the emerald ash for infestation. This includes removing infested ash trees.
working to update our Bpr drama plan to ensure that we are in alignment with the city's new drought restrictions, and being good stewards, our water resources.
there are a lot of climate benefits to having an urban canopy. We also are facing a pretty severe water shortage in the State of Colorado
There are also trees that are more wildfire resistant. And so how can we, you know, make those best recommendations for trees
large trees actually do play a a great role in some level of water conservation.
to explore how you might enhance private tree protection through the through Covid regulations. It's not on our work plan
the 2,022 Inflation Reduction Act included 1.5 billiondollars for the Forest Service community in urban forestry program
access some of that Federal funding that was included in the Inflation Reduction Act. So that is absolutely opportunities that we are looking into
that is on our 23 work plan really, really, quickly Sorry to interrupt Mary has been disabled as a panelist.
they do such a phenomenal job providing services to kids and kids with disabilities, and they make me so proud.
If you qualify for Medicaid, Bhp boulders, food tax credit, that's another way.
The budget will be approved in October. It would be really nice to have a better runway to develop some of these things
agricultural working landscapes, a neighborhood part which is meant to serve a local audience.
they're about 638 sites in in that community alone, and to the west of Broadway they're another 68 sites and ponder us and mobile home community.
So the other component to this area is that it is so. Libraries also situated within the north boulder Arts district.
a new campus for the Border museum of contemporary art and more programming around that it's really becoming more apparent
we're trying to really understand how we can integrate those into the part design process. We're also really lucky
as I mentioned with the the flood components, are it me of having to really figure out with our our friends and the utilities Department
from the flood plane standpoint, for example, that that we're exploring all the technical options that we have.
You know it's really to treat canopy and drought and all of this components we need to keep in mind
That's also a significant pinch point for the flood plane, so it's it. It would serve both the flood play and transportation objectives
I think it's important almost asap to include some native Americans with blessings and insights.
So they're talking about what's the right way to honor that history at that site? So that's their priority this year.
So if you have any suggestions, you really wouldn't just wondering if you have been in touch with the intellectual and developmental disabilities
it's going to follow into our cip program and our budget accordingly.
The historic preservation staff under our plan and Development services. That's also been part of the process.
The Pearl Street model is probably the most complicated one. It does have a long history
That street mall is probably the most complicated. It is part of a larger historic district.
it's actually the parks and recreations Maintenance responsibility, so to speak, of that entire area.
rolling that into that cip plan. And then looking at that annually and getting that the treatment recommendation section, the update.
Nope. Good. Here something. I was wondering. Maybe some prab meetings in the future could be at some of these historic places
How do we start to think about recreations as the recreation centers as system versus individuals?
Do we start to look at these as a system and the willingness to have maybe some centralized recreation access.
and we operate under the Boulder Valley Comprehensive plan, and this is the city, sustainability, equity, resilience, framework
Why, the wreck centers are considered separately from the other capital improvements projects.
The major renovation of the North Walter Recreation center in 2,001. Similarly, right. So for for all 3 buildings we're talking tens of millions of dollars.
as we're moving forward in a carbon constrained world, let's say, you know, the idea of 15 min neighborhoods really has real appeal
