We're back and on the same topic.

Swetlik RE: Hotline - "I've never used it because I think I'm going to piss someone off."
Wallach Sigh-O-Meter: 1.75
Brockett: "Sometimes on Hotline we have questions that are extremely pointed. ... Things that aren't really questions." Like someone will write, "Given that this is the worst idea in the world ever" X,Y,Z
Lots of talk about how/when to ask staff questions.

We're gonna move to talking about boards and how they interact with one another / council. Won't be ask exciting as the last item (which was the meat) but I'll tweet what's necessary.
First up is the interaction of DAB/Planning Board. Reminder: Council's justification for having a PB with ZERO industry professionals on it was that DAB could provide that. boulderbeat.news/2020/04/02/cit…
DAB = Design Advisory Board. They focus on projects of a certain value (over $25,000, I think?) in the downtown area. New development or external renovation.

Another Friend suggestion: Do we want to require all new buildings to be electric, like other cities have done? Seems like the time given our Xcel partnership.

Weaver also had this on his list.
Jonathan Koehn: This is ongoing work. We've been thinking about it as part of the Climate Action Plan coming to council for an update this year.
"We really do need to be mindful of costs and equity," Koehn says.

Moving on: Council priorities and work plan for 2021. With input from staff.
First q: Do we want to add COVID as a priority? Given that, well, you know, it is. So this is really about "formalizing" by adding it to the Official List.
No opposition to that, so it will be added, and the 12 existing priorities will remain.

OK, with those icebreakers over, we're starting with racial equity work.
Council saw the draft plan in Jan. and it... did not go well. boulderbeat.news/2020/12/12/cou…
The plan is scheduled or a Feb. 16 public hearing and vote.

Good morning, #Boulder. I'm here (just barely) for Day 2 of the council retreat. I'll tweet what's relevant.
Like this: Council members were told to make a Zoom backgound that shows a place/thing that's special to them.

Nagle's is prairie dogs.

Moving on to Part 2 of tonight's meeting: "Productive Atmosphere in Public Meetings" aka "How do we stop people from yelling cuss words at us?"
"There is room for 'reasonably hostility'" says engagement manager Sarah Huntley. She's quoting an official research term there.
"This has prompted a really important internal discussion," says Brenda Ritenour, neighborhood liaison
