OK, ready for this 7 p.m. city council meeting? Yeah, me neither.

Tonight we've got public hearings on all the stuff council is sending to the ballot: tax extension plus some language cleanup and a change in council pay schedule (not a raise)*

*Except for people who miss a lot of meetings

We've also got an update on The People's Crossing and a city land acknowledgement for/with the peoples who originally inhabited this land.

And sharing of the final* schedule for CU South annexation votes and public hearings

*probably

Oh, yeah, and council is gonna talk about when they might return to in-person meetings. My bet is: No time soon, given the COVID numbers.

One other lil' item is the resolution about the Boulder Rez that we heard the other night from PRAB. Council is adopting it.

I logged on early and there's some sort of puppet performance by Mary Young. I don't get paid enough for this.

Swetlik feels similarly.
"I've been in a lot of deeply uncomfortable situations on council before," he says, "and this one takes the cake."

It's a finger puppet. A cow named Mavis. It even has tiny udders!

The real meeting is going to start just a few min late bc of the National Night Out events council members went to. Great fun was had by all, apparently.

Councilman Swetlik ran a mile at his event, apparently, besting Parks Director Ali Rhodes.

"Losers lose sometimes, I guess," he says to her.

Apparently they were both beaten by 8 year olds, so....

Why am I tweeting this? you might ask. Fair question. I have no answer for you. Conditioning? Psychosis? Who can say.
