• Homelessness2:02:00at this moment

  We did also hear feedback about the humanitarian side and making sure we're taking care of the population and not moving people around needlessly.

• Flood mitigation and stormwater2:03:00at this moment

  It's very hard, because of the high hazard really, to work within the boundary of the floodplain.

  And how do we expand the farmers market make it more permanent, make it seasonal, or excuse me year round.

• Flood mitigation and stormwater2:08:13at this moment

  And then you're already having the library and working with the flood problems like it seems super unique.

  I've gone down to like 13th Street for some downtown boulder partnership stuff, and it's just really low, like low attendance.

  we need to tear, you know, take care of our unhoused people, and but we also need to enforce this camping ban

  So to me the right conversation isn't necessarily Bvsd and Vpr collaboration. It's project prioritization and funding.

• School enrollment and city-school coordination2:44:04at this moment

  my interest is that we get Grab and Bvsd in a room to brainstorm and create a vision that really is bigger than prioritizing individual

• School enrollment and city-school coordination2:47:00at this moment

  I do think the best 1st step would be a background on existing city Bvsd relationship, and how how things work
