It's a rare bit of pushback against neighborhood opposition to city projects or private development, which is... not rare.
The city council is "incredibly proud" of the new visitor center, including the restaurant, Yates reads. "The city council supports the democratic process through which the lease" with the restaurant operator was established.
"City council supports the department staff ... and their good-faith efforts to address" community concerns. Council "also hears" the community concerns. "We hope to keep engaging."
"City council supports civil discourse," Yates continues, and opposes the disruption of events at the Rez. "There are more appropriate and productive ways" to engage.
Brockett met with neighbors of the Boulder Rez recently. There are continued concerns, he says, but also "unhappiness" with the email and cancellation of nonprofit events.
Wallach has a few issues with the resolution. "It seems to conflate the behavior of one or two people" with the whole neighborhood.
"There's nothing wrong with what they have done," Wallach says, which is petition the government for changes. "We took a different posture," and they are free to continue to disagree with that.
He also met with neighbors.

Nagle concurs: I just want to make sure that neighborhood knows that there was an action of one person ... and that the quality of life as they know it will continue with the noise and light mitigation efforts in place.
Weaver: "Decisions are best made and appeals are best made when everybody respects different opinions."
Alright, that's enough of that.
