Hello, my lovely little darlings. It's a Tuesday and we've got a #Boulder city council study session tonight — with an early start at 5:30 p.m.
Three items on the agenda tonight: Interviews for 2 non-voting members of the new cannabis licensing advisory board (CLAB, quite possibly the grossest-to-say acronym in city gov't) from 5:30-6
Regular meeting business will be looks at two planning processes: Parks and Rec Master plan and the (draft) Racial Equity plan

I know how ya'll love a good planning process.
I'm feeling soft today because of lingering dead-mom melancholy, plus a healthy dose of hormones and my supporters breaking my heart (in a good way) by being so incredibly generous.

Good thing I'm not afraid to cry.

Hoping for a 5-min break between topics but I'm not holding my breath.
Alas, we are moving right along. But to a v interesting topic! Boulder's first racial equity plan: www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/Racial_Eq…
It's important to remember why we're here, says Aimee Kane: "To support people" — specifically, people who have traditionally been shut out of the gov't process.

First regular biz tonight: Parks and Recreation Master Plan. Here's the staff presentation: www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/Boulder_P…
Not sure what I'll tweet; I always struggle to cover master plan planning processes bc... just because. It's like all jargon and high-level stuff. Mostly bones, not a ton of meat.
I do have a few notes, though. Like this: It will cost $242,000 to complete this master plan update. Design Workshop has been contracted for that.

CLAB interviews are up first, so I'll start the thread right now. This is for two non-voting members, something regular members of CLAB requested. There are 11 applicants.
CLAB has been having a rough go of it. Apparently there are a lot of conflicting opinions and a lack of cohesion since it's a new board.
This is an interesting one, because certain seats are reserved for certain folks. 2 from the industry, 2 from health/education realm, 3 from community at large.

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.
