We're also working with the Boulder Valley School district. We'll continue to to expand our marketing efforts.
and if all goes well according to plan, then we hope to break ground before the end of the year next year.
We also partnered with the center for people with disabilities, and brought those folks out to help us understand what issues
we absolutely have heard that at the very least, screening is important for for neighbors who live immediately
The Mobile Home Park, and so we'll be able to tie into that at the very least, as well as on the East.
Comprehensive plan is a shared document between the city of Boulder and Boulder County, and it governs land use in our community.
Examples of that include parts of gunbarrel, some properties on adjacent edges of the city, such as the San Lacroo mobile home manufactured home community
except for what is called the area 3 planning reserve, and that is in North Boulder. It is north of 20 Eighth Street or Highway 36
reserved for their current uses, whether it be rural or agricultural, except for what is called the area 3 planning reserve
such as the San Lacroo mobile home manufactured home community and then area 3 are those areas
when I give you an update on the Bpr plan in June, because much of that work is really closely aligned with the way that we're implementing that plan.
The Boulder Valley. Comprehensive plan. That work is getting advanced because there is an interest in talking about that area. 3 planning reserve
And then the climate Action Plan Update. We expect that to align with our work in the parks and Rec system
The Boulder Valley. Comprehensive plan. That work is getting advanced because there is an interest in talking about that area.
There's a lot of work around homelessness programs and innovations that are really around. Addressing homelessness upstream.
We really want those folks being able to connect to our downtown area. So there already is work in progress.
there is an interest in making sure that there is really good connectivity and access between the University Hill area
that enhances safety for boulder high kids. It also just makes it easier and more noticeable that that is a transit corridor
through the civic area project that our team is leading. We expect there to be some more permanent signage that would align
And then finally, we're gonna look at a 3 to 5 year ballot measure strategy. So a lot there.
We have about 40 million dollars for the East Boulder community center facility retrofit. The cost estimates are closer to 60 to 70.
We thought we had enough money to start converting some of our artificial or athletic fields to turf, so that they could see increased play
We have natural resources which encompasses our forestry and natural lands, which is environmentally sustainable for their Sr. Alignment.
So we did go through a very careful look throughout our budgets, and we looked to align budget within work groups.
When we looked at it again this year. The budgets just really are too large right to manage.
We had planning and ecological services which encompassed forestry, natural lands, planning design construction.
Where do you find that inflation hits park hits park and rack. The most. Yeah, sure.
We do have a revised budget in the general fund of about 6.6 2 million, and our base budget is 6.1 million
A lot of that is because of the cip carry forward from 2023 into 2024 for those existing capital projects.
I think last month we had explained to the prab how we had moved over sports turf expenses into the Recreation Activity Fund.
I don't like the fact that we depend a lot on sales tax, and and we're in a position where sales tax is flattening and property taxes are flattening.
I appreciate the interest for the quick and easy wins. But they're they're gonna be small compared to the need.
And here you see what we're estimating per year for each of these assets in terms of the spending needs.
as East Boulder Recreation Center. Where we have a focus and really good funding to do the renovation up to 45 million
as East Boulder Recreation Center. Where we have a focus and really good funding to do the renovation up to 45 million
we're working with utilities on looking at the flood plain. So this is a great example where the 3 different departments
And that's a major redevelopment of the Boulder Junction area. The impact fees for that obviously identified with that increased park service needs.
The impact fees for that obviously identified with that increased park service needs. So East Mapleton was identified
It's very hard to sync like the Boulder Valley Comp. Plan, a city wide strategic plan, park plans to get them all perfectly lined up.
The person who is the point is the liaison for the phase. 2 project, which I think means the civic area phase 2. Project.
Wayland, does that something sound like something? It'd be interesting to you.
That is a I mean, we've got more staff and more community engagement on that project than any other.
Really, there's so much money in Boulder and for us to be so constrained looking at equity and moving into this climate era.
civic area sounds super fun and meaningful, and I'd love to get to know Bernie and work with him more.
And I found this through a lot of the homeless situations, and how people are just kind of off doing their own things
we're actually working on the Memo U Mou with Bvsd right now. It would. I mean reaching them in the schools would be the most
feasible way to achieve that data. And so we can come back to you to see if that's feasible in the scope of that engagement
