This is going to be a quick one: Certification of the 2020 election results. There was no info in the council packet; the presentation is two pages: www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/Item_5B_-…

You can read more about the election by me, though: boulderbeat.news/2020/11/28/bou…

If you live in Shanahan Ridge or near Mesa Elementary or in Highland Park in #Boulder ... give yourself a freaking hand, bc your 'hood had over 95% election turnout.

Honestly, though, all of Boulder rocked it. Our lowest-turnout precinct was on Uni Hill and it was still 68%

There won't be much discussion on this issue. They're literally just being like, yeah, these are good. (At least I think; again, not much info from staff on this)

No one signed up for the public hearing either.

I ain't mad at ya, though. There wasn't enough info for this to be of interest.

That's it for this one. Not gonna even unroll it, because why?

Dang, I can't believe I forgot we were doing this: A crime update from Police Chief Maris Herold. Presentation: www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/Item_6A_-…

I don't have any notes for you bc there weren't any in the packet.

"Bike theft is proving very problematic," Herold says in her overview of what we'll be covering.

Next: Second reading of repurposing the UOT. This will now become our meatiest item, since Macy's got moved. Presentation: www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/Item_3E_-…

This is actually about partnering with Xcel, which is the second part of this. As you'll recall, voters passed both 2C and 2D last month.

The UOT repurposing will be used to replay the $1.4M in loans the muni took from the city's general fund. Then it will go toward clean energy projects and utility assistance for lower-income residents.

New thread for the Macy's vote. Should be interesting. Presentation here: www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/Item_5A_-…

Wait... Weaver is asking that maybe we move council discussion and vote for this bc Nagle is absent. Even number of officials could equal tie vote, which is tricky for development projects. They need city OK to go ahead.

The applicant will decide.

Moving into open comment. Here's the list: www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/December_…

I'm going to eat and not tweet unless it's something really interesting.

Like this: Weaver asking for "gentleness."

"Everyone here is trying their best," he says. Asks speakers to remember that as they criticize staff or other community members.

We're going to talk a little bit about COVID enforcement, as requested by council members Friend and Wallach.

Presentation: www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/Item_1B_-…

What we've really learned, says interim city manager Chris Meschuk, is it takes a "systems approach" to change the behavior of the community. "We can't simply enforce our way through the pandemic."
