Kevin Mahoney, who was killed in the King Soopers shooting, had a seat on the Beverage Licensing Authority. That seat will be left open for a few months, then filled.
BOZA had a member step down, so a former member will be reappointed.
Council's pick for WRAB could not take the seat (personal reasons) so the sole other applicant will be appointed.
Also on the Beverage licensing Authority, a former member will re-up. But Kevin Mahoney's seat will stay vacant for a bit still; this was a different seat.
Three other boards did not receive enough applications. Boulder Junction Access District - Parking Commission (BJAD-PC),
Boulder Junction Access District – Travel Demand Management (BJAD-TDM) and
Colorado Chautauqua Association
These boards will remain open indefinitely. So apply if you want.
Appointments listed above will be finalized on the April 20 consent agenda.
Alyssa Lundgren - Beverage Licensing Authority
Jill Lester - Board of Zoning Adjustments
Jill Park - Water Resources Advisory Board
If you want to speak to those appointments, sign up for the April 20 open comment.
So apparently #Boulder's tribal consultation is tomorrow. It's not on any calendars and I didn't get a link; I think in the past only part of it was open to the public.
Or, since you probably only care about SB-62, you can read my story on it here. Boulder is the main source of opposition to this; Boulder's lobbyists are certain it will pass anyway. boulderbeat.news/2021/03/20/bou…
I do not see a presentation for this one, but it's the Waterview project. Council will decide whether or not to "call-up" or review Planning Board's unanimous approval of this 317-unit project on east Arapahoe.
Mark Wallach wants to call it up. He'd "like to get to yes" on it but he has qs on why a height mod is being done with only "the bare minimum of affordable housing."
Some info on that:
5801 and 5847 Arapahoe Ave
317 housing units - 25% affordable (80 units)
15,000 sq ft commercial space (ground floor - restaurant, retail)
421 parking spaces (439 required - 4.1% reduction)
Some interesting stuff. Just gonna blah it all in a giant thread here.
Gunbarrel folx: You're getting a subcommunity plan. After the East Boulder one (underway now) wraps. Staff will start scoping the work in Q3-Q4 of this year, so stay tuned.
Another Tuesday, #Boulder. Coming to you with a city council meeting and a heavy heart. I'm not exactly sure how to get back to work after the shooting. But I'm here.
Full meeting tonight, including some TBD updates on the shooting and a declaration, a couple development call-ups (Hill hotel, Waterview apartments) and a check-in on council priorities and tribal consultation.
Also a public hearing on Boulder's state and federal lobbying agenda. Gun violence prevention will be discussed separately, at the April 20 meeting, but there are some big-ticket items on here. Most notably, SB21-62.
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.
