Getting an update on the search for a new city manager from Brockett. Brautigam retired last month; there was a public feedback form online for a few weeks.

928 responses to that.
Recruiter will start recruiting following the Dec. 1 council meeting, when officials will approve the "profile" of what they are looking for.
Crap, I missed the timeline Young shared. It's raining here, HARD.
Apparently 6 weeks is the recruiting timeline, which Weaver thinks is too short — especially over the holidays.

Brockett: We can add a couple weeks if we need to, but hopefully it will be enough.
Brockett: I don't think anything is set in stone.

Last item of the night: Friend wants to talk about education vs. enforcement RE: COVID.

"Why are we not ticketing flagrant fouls?" People aren't wearing masks or social distancing and 1 in 100 of them are contagious, she says.
City attorney Tom Carr: The police are ticketing people. "Well over 100 now." The county has a more aggressive policy than the city; we're working with them.
Carr: The challenge has always been" the lack of police resources. "They are approaching the end of their ability to enforce." They are very busy these last two weekends. "There have been a lot of big parties."

OK, last sorta interesting item: Appointing community members to the Police Master Plan Process Subcommittee.

Long name, but what it means is: The police dept master plan is being overhauled and ppl will sit on a group to have input on that.
It's a process committee, so it just makes sure the process is transparent, accessible to the public, etc. Not policy decisions or anything.

Yates and Joseph are the council members on this.
Here's a short staff presentation: www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/Item_8D_-…

Gonna spend a brief time on the call-up item, which Mayor Weaver indicated yesterday council is not particularly interested in. Staff presentation: www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/Item_4A_-…
This is a concept plan, meaning that even if council calls it up, they will just be providing feedback, not voting and approving or disapproving.

Address: 1820 15th Street, 1603 Walnut
Formerly First Presbyterian Church, now Grace Commons
Church and annex
Addition to be demolished and rebuilt into:
104,873 sq ft campus

49 ft tall
Walnut: 4-story building (55 ft)

Moving into open comment. Here's the speaking list: www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/November_…
I prob won't share much of it. I think we could all use a break.
Many concerns from neighbors of a project council will hear about later tonight: Concept plans to redevelop a church campus into... another church campus + 30 affordable homes.

Howdy, #Boulder. Stil recovering from Election Week? Too bad: It's city council time.
Tonight we'll get our monthly COVID briefing. It can be summed up in one word: Yikes.

Or several words from Mayor Sam Weaver: "We are in pretty dire straights. The Front Range is in big trouble."
We've also got second reading/public hearing of the ordinance creating a new police oversight mechanism in Boulder. boulderbeat.news/2020/11/05/bou…
