Council is doing a special meeting before its study session next week (Aug. 10) so they can schedule the CU South annexation public hearing.
But we'll talk about that later. Put a pin in it.
Yates is recusing himself from voting on the consent agenda (of which this item is a part). He doesn't say why....
Ok that's literally the only thing on the consent agenda. No idea why he is recusing himself. Anyone want to enlighten me?
OK, jumping back to CU South annexation. Current dates
Sept. 14: Public hearing
Sept. 21: City council deliberation, vote
Third reading (if needed) Oct. 5
Next week's meeting will be a resolution setting those date. They had to work around Nagle's planned absences (Sept. 9 and 14) She'll miss the public hearing but has promised to watch the video. And be here for the vote.
Young: At what point does the annexation agreement stop evolving?
Jean Gatza: There can be changes up until the ordinance is adopted.
Phil Kleisler: We are working on suggestions the Planning Board made last week (when they didn't recommend annexation, but sent in a whole bunch of proposals)
Kleisler: We also have listening sessions on Monday, Aug. 9 and ... I missed the date of the second one. Maybe Sept. 6?
We haven't talked about this at all, so it took me by surprise.
"It wasn't part of our original planning," attorney Kathy Haddock says. It was "a good catch by a citizen." (She doesn't say who, but I've got a few guesses)
In a nutshell, a city working group recommended lower signature limits for (some) petitions. The voters then OK'd those in 2018. But the charter hasn't been updated for everything yet.
While I puzzle on Yates' recusal, we're moving on to the public hearing for the CCS tax extension (being rebranded to the capital infrastructure tax). Staff presentation: documents.bouldercolorado.gov/WebLink/DocVie…
We've covered this so thoroughly, I don't wanna repeat too much.
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.
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.
