OK I actually have stuff for this one: Colorado Companies to Watch. Boulder has 14 of this year's 50 winners.
Bolder Industries, Bonusly, Boulder Engineering Studio, CaliberMRI, Eco Vessel, Enzoic, MBio Diagnostics, McDevitt Taco Supply, MDScripts, MFB Fertility, Outside Analytics, Stateless, VAIREX Air Systems, Wana Brands www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/Item_1E_-…
There will be a reception in the spring, Yates says.
Boulder Chamber's John Tayer introducing the new head of the Boulder Economic Council, Scott Sternberg. He replaces Clif Harald, who left last(?) year. (Or maybe it only feels like last year bc 2020 has been so long.)
Apparently we're taking time to share what all these companies do. (30 min ago we were running over but sure, take your time.)
I mean, I don't want to short shrift these co. on the intoxicating spotlight of a public city council meeting but...
A couple I've worked with and can give the Journalism Thumbs Up to (which means they answer my emails and calls and are generally helpful).
Wana Brands (they make edibles) and Bonusly (hard to explain, but they basically enable co-workers to give points to their peers which can be redeemed for actual stuff, like $$ or goods)
So it's like a peer-bonus system that companies can opt into. The points can be redeemed for $$ to donate to nonprofits, which people do a lot.

We're quickly going over some land use code cleanups. There are 53 of them. I read through them all (you're welcome) and didn't see anything that bears reporting. But if you must look for yourself: www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/Item_3F_-…
Staff also said they were nothing substantive. Some typo changes, some clarifications to simplify language. Stuff like that.
No slides for this super fast update, but it's about “online marketplace facilitators” (Etsy, Amazon, eBay). Boulder changing its code/practices to collect sales tax from their sellers.

I forgot about open comment! I see at least one member of Safer Boulder, and then one member from Boulder SAFE, so I imagine today's leak of the Safer members will be the topic de jour. www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/October_6…
Yes. Marcos Ospina kicking it off.
I'm still looking into this. Here's what I (and other media) were sent today. So you're in the loop. saferleaks.noblogs.org

We're going to briefly talk about when council could resume in-person meetings. Not in 2020, and maybe not in early 2021 either. They talked about a virtual retreat (Jan. 22-23).
Brautigam: Since we're in Safer At Home, there are limits on how many ppl can gather, in what size space, etc.

"We think it's prudent" to remain virtual for council and board meetings "through the end of the year."
Yates on the retreat: It's a mid-term check-in, so a bit shorter. Evening of Friday, Jan. 22 ("building relationships") and morning of Saturday, Jan. 23 (workplan)

Howdy from the central time zone, #Boulder. It's city council night and, oh boy, it's a big one.
We've got the budget. We've got the lobbying agenda. We've got our monthly COVID briefing from health officials (plus an update on what's happening at CU). We're talking winter outdoor dining, when council might return to in-person meeting, and more.
LOL the pre-meeting council banter tonight is A+

Severe weather sheltering is next. That's what Boulder calls winter shelter for people experiencing homelessness, because it's typically triggered by the weather, not necessarily the season.

Staff presentation: www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/Severe_We…
And my story, for review. boulderbeat.news/2020/09/19/bou…
I wrote "normally" triggered by weather. This year, they are suggesting all-night sheltering from Dec. 1- March 15, which is the coldest part of the winter, and then weather dependent (below 32 or 38 with rain/snow) for Oct. 1-Nov. 30 and March 16 - May 31
