Last item: CLAB appointments. Two non-voting members. 5-year terms. Only 1 slide in the presentation: www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/Item_8A_2…

Here's the thread from interviews last week: threadreaderapp.com/thread/1336476…

Yates nominates Kate Thomson
Weaver, Stacy Green
Friend, Allison Bayley

Crap, tweeted the wrong thread. Here are CLAB interviews: threadreaderapp.com/thread/1336468…

Kathryn Thomson was a MAP member (CLAB predecessor) works in cannabis tech and owns a cannabis-focused biz consulting firm. She also worked for The Farm.

Yates nominates her bc she's young, was on MAP

Bayley works in public health (substance abuse work with Boulder County, with a focus on youth) and has done youth work for City of Boulder, including the Youth Opportunity Advisory Board

Friend likes her bc she's in public health

Green - the only nominee who actually lives in Boulder — is a doctor who uses cannabis in her practice.

Weaver likes having some medical experience.

Joseph seconds Bayley - Friend's nominee

But she also likes Green

Brockett likes Bayley for her public health expertise, but Thomson bc of her experience on the prior marijuana advisory group.

Non-voting members can live out of town; regular board members can't.

Forgot there were 2 seats, so that's why ppl are naming two candidates.

Although they're supposed to do it one at a time.

Wallach and Yates both support Bayley, so looks like she has majority support

Applications for the regular seats open up next week... council makes those appointments in March.

Bayley gets the first seat.

Votes for second seat are tied between Thomson and Green.

Reminder: There are only 8 members here tonight bc Nagle is absent. This is why voting bodies like to have odd numbers.

Weaver switches his vote, so Thomson gets it.

No one signed up for the public hearing, so that's it for that.

@threadreaderapp

And the meeting!

@threadreaderapp please unroll. Thank you!

Actually, that was all for the entire year... two-week council recess. Woot! I'll see ya'll in 2021!

JK... I'll see you for the Wednesday morning recap in a few. First: A snack.

Moving on to the Comp Plan update. Here's the staff presentation: www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/Item_5A_B…

Council last discussed this in Dec. 2019: boulderbeat.news/2019/12/07/wit…

Here's the thread from that meeting, which really centered on the planning reserve. Don't think we're touching on that tonight.

Hello, #Boulder. City council tonight. Many things to discuss.

Tonight, the big ones are public hearings on mid-term changes to the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan (Boulder's planning bible) and petitioning rules (online petitions and charter amendment petitions).

This is a mid-term Comp Plan update, so nothing big. I don't think we'll be discussing the Planning Reserve, based on notes and the staff presentation, but you never know. boulderbeat.news/2019/12/07/wit…

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.
