Planning Board OK’d 7-0 with conditions
Council unlikely to call this up.

Friend: We don't get a lot of projects that are owned affordable housing. Is there anything we could be doing dif as a city to encourage those?

Jacob Lindsey, planning head: Yes, we can always do more. There are a number of efforts underway. And a number of ownership projects coming forward, mostly in partnership with BHP.

No one wants to call this up. Moving on.

Uni Hill appointments are resolved: Rockwell gets the 5yr seat; Bush (a property rep) the 4-yr

Sole applicant to the Chautauqua board is appointed. Idk who that is; she's already on the board, but her application materials weren't included.

V quick public hearing, with only one person signed up. Too bad, bc I'm pretty sure ppl have some FEELINGS on the Planning Board appointment.

We are doing board and commission appointments. These always take awhile. I'll prob tweet fast and add context later.

I didn't get these slides, so. Ican't share them with you.

Young making a little speech:

"Your personal agendas and activism need to be checked. at the door. You are doing the city's service. You have to keep the whole city in mind. ... Your duty is to be impartial when you're in service to the city."

First, an agenda check-in: Yates wants to reschedule the micromobility discussion since we still have board/commission appointments and crime to tackle.

Transportation head Erika Vandenbrande: We need to pass this before we can start our program. We'd need to do it at the next meeting.

Micromobility will be moved to April 13 study session, which will become a regular meeting, or quasi regular meeting.

Happening now: Appointment of the city manager.

Brockett and Young are on the recommendation subcommittee that picked Nuria Rivera-Vandermyde, from Austin, as the next city manager. Starting salary: $290K

Young: "We were just highly impressed with all the feedback we got from the community as well as staff. We just feel that she will do a fabulous job. Highly credentialed, highly experienced. We could not recommend her more highly."

Open comment next. Here's the list: www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/March_16_…

Sorry I'm not tweeting much. Just kinda over it tonight. Gonna save my energy for later discussions.

Lisa Nelson is the first speaker to link the Uni Hill riot with Marpa House, which is set to be turned from co-housing to individual units, possibly for students. Council may tonight vote to call up Planning Board's unanimous approval of that project.
