Council next deciding the order of ballot issues. NEWR, as a tax, has to go first. The remaining 4 — Xcel settlement, UOT extension, Arts Commission, and mayoral Election — can go in any order.
Yates recommends UOT be next to each other, with the franchise first.
So 2A: NEWR
2B: Franchise agreement
2C: UOT extension

"I don't really care about the other two," Yates says.
Wallach suggests mayoral election as 2D, then Arts Commission as 2E
Swetlik and Weaver agree with that.
omg a Hamlet joke from Brockett. It was bad.
Ok, so that's the order
NEWR
Xcel deal
UOT
Mayoral election
Arts Commission
Unanimous agreement on that. But Young got booted so she didn't vote.
Yates: Are those the actual letters? Some years they pick up where they left off with letters and some years they start back over at A.
Carr: I don't remember.
Dianne Marshall: We know they're going to be in this order but we don't know what the letters will be.
Important clarification.
Young's OK with the order so that's all for that. @threadreaderapp please unroll. Thanks!

OK, now prairie dogs! Getting started at 10 p.m., which is a GREAT sign.

No staff presentation during the meeting, but here's the slides from last time (Aug. 11) www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/Item_5A_O…
Here's where we are: boulderbeat.news/2020/08/08/bou…

Public hearing already happened, so this is an all-council show.
Curt Brown from OSBT is doing some myth-busting.

The plan is not extreme, he says, as some are saying. It's only focusing on one section of irrigated ag land (2,400 acres, 967 of which have p dogs on them)

A few things on the consent agenda, including finalizing the ballot content. Consent normally means no discussion, but we've got 20 min for the Xcel deal and then 45 for Our Mayor, Our Choice.
There's also going to be a later discussion about what order council wants the ballot measures to be in. NEWR, since it's a tax, has to be first. (TABOR rules) But the rest are up to them.
OK, talking a bit about Our Mayor, Our Choice. Reminder: Council voted 7-2 to put this on the ballot on first reading, but there has to be a second vote.

In the meantime, county clerk said BoCo can't/won't conduct this election for Boulder.

Now open comment. Here's the list. Should be fun. www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/September…
Shelley Dunbar is here to talk about Our Mayor, Our Choice, which council previously voted 7-2 to put on the ballot. It would implement direct election of Boulder's mayor via ranked choice voting starting in 2023 BUT...
...the county clerk says 2023 is maybe too soon and she doesn't want to commit to that. Council will be revisiting later. Mayor Weaver already indicated he may change his vote. We'll see who else might.
