Jones: "An evening product will continue in some form." Apparently the feedback has been great.
LOLOL Young asked about how COVID has changed parking downtown and how we'll make that permanent.
Jones: What part? The lack of people coming downtown?
To clarify, Young meant street/parking closures for outdoor dining. Those were just extended. dailycamera.com/2021/01/22/bou…
They'll end when the emergency order ends, Jones says. But curbside management is part of the parking strategy overall. The focus is on pricing use of the right-of-way appropriately, no matter what it's used for.
Brockett also agrees with escalating cost for repeat parking violations.
That's it for this one.

Last item (the one I forgot): Alpine Balsam update. Staff presentation: www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/Alpine_Ba…
We have not talked about this since Jan. 2020. I think the last official action was OK'ing land use, zoning changes for the old hospital site (but not the surrounding areas) boulderbeat.news/2019/08/30/ami…
Reminder: The city bought the former BCH hospital campus in 2015 for ~$40M. Reasons twofold: to prevent redevelopment and to possibly consolidate city offices there.

Next: Parking. Staff presentation. www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/Boulder_A…
Notes were short on details, but it looks like parking will be getting more expensive in Boulder — both in city spots and in neighborhoods. Some v fascinating info on that.
OH, also parking tickets. Of which I've had many. (Though none in a long time)

How about a new thread?
Council members thanking Tom Carr for his service; he announced his retirement this week.
Well, he's retiring in June, not this week. Just announced this week.

Omgosh is it Tuesday already? Feels like we were just here... 'cause we were, on Friday AND Saturday for the annual retreat.
We're easing back into it with a study session tonight. Three things on the agenda:
Eviction Prevention (No Eviction Without Representation)
Parking policies/pricing
Alpine Balsam update
I didn't realize that last one was on the agenda, so apologies. I left it out of the preview in this week's newsletter.

Weaver, Joseph and Young apparently have no understanding of what it means to have a "holistic discussion" on homelessness.

That's not me saying it... that's literally what they are saying in a scheduling meeting now about the followup to Tuesday's meeting.
"I don’t really comprehend what that means bc in the end we make discrete decisions. ... I don’t understand what a holistic (discussion) means."

Council decided last week that camps will keep being removed BUT they didn't weigh in on staff's recommendations for more enforcement. Members Brockett/Friend said they didn't want to vote on those without also considering more services....

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.
