LAST thing: Board and commission appointments. Carr going over the tie-breaking process bc we have 8 council members.

If there is an impasse, pause, have a discussion and see if it can be resolved. If not, put all the impasses off to the end and then work them out at the end, but go through and continue to vote. Appoint anybody that gets 5 votes.

If they can't be resolved, they flip a coin. Not kidding.

Appointments have to be made in March, per charter.

Arts Commission: 5 applicants for one 5-yr term
Morzel nominates Ginger (Virginia) Zukowski
Jones nominates Bruce Borowsky
Brockett nominates Cynthia Sliker
Nagle nominates Alan O'Hashi

First vote is a tie between Bruce and Ginger.

That's being tabled to the end.

Beverages Licensing Authority. 2 applicants, but only Michael Absalom interviewed publicly. So he is the unanimous pick.

Environmental Advisory Board: 5 applicants (only four showed up to interview)
Weaver nominates Miriam Hacker (current member)
Morzel nominates Martin Hoerling

Morzel talking about Boulder's "two big demolitions" and the environmental questions around that.

Unanimous for Miriam Hacker.

Housing Advisory Board: 8 applicants for two 5-yr terms and one 3-yr term

Current HAB member Adam Swetlik is being reappointed to a three-year term

Morzel nominates Juliette Boone
Brockett nominates Claudia Thiem

Weaver nominates Daniel Teoduro

Jones nominates Laura Kaplan

Juliette Boone gets the first seat.

Morzel nominates Terry Palmos

Terry Palmos gets the second 5-yr seat

Housing Authority (Boulder Housing Partners board)
Three applicants for one 5-yr term; only one made it to the interview: Tony Adams. Yates nominates him.

Someone nominated current member Lindsey Loberg
Unanimous vote
