#Boulder city council has scheduled an emergency city council meeting for 6 p.m. tomorrow night. The agenda includes an invocation by Mary Kate Rejouis and remarks from federal and state elected officials, as well as a time for community members to speak.
You can watch here or on the city's YouTube channel.
One clarification: invited* community members can speak. A link to the virtual meeting may not be shared, due to the international interest in the shooting.
Also, this is a *special* meeting, not an emergency one. Seems like semantics, but, you know, words have meaning.
I will "be" there, doing a live tweet I never wanted to do.

10 min away from a special #Boulder city council meeting to address the shooting. I will be watching and live tweeting as necessary. State and federal officials will be speaking, as well as local electeds and some community members.
Tbh, I'm not sure how much I will tweet. Though I appreciate their representation of Boulder at this difficult time, politicians aren't really who I want to hear from right now.
So I will be here, but I'll only tweet what I find adds to the conversation, rather than just adding to the noise.
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.
