Coming atcha for a Thursday night city council meeting, #Boulder.

Tonight: Budget stuff, including ARPA funds (which we already talked about)
Lobbying agenda
(Likely) extension of outdoor dining

I have no stories for you because I've been writing nothing but election stuff. Happy to report that will all be DONE next week and translated into Spanish by the time you get your ballots.

Anyway, tonight's meeting not that big of a deal. The real show is Tuesday, with the CU South public hearing.

So if you don't have the capacity for this meeting, I will totally not blame you.

I mean, the REAL show is the council vote on Sept. 21, bc the public hearing is fairly predictable stuff we've been hearing for years from everybody, with some newer stuff we've only been hearing for months.

Nagle is absent tonight; Yates and Joseph will be recusing themselves from the vote on CU South, which is just setting the public hearing next week.

OMG Swetlik is wearing a beekeeping suit.

I actually think he works/worked for a small (like 3-person), local honey company...?

Anyway, he's reading a declaration for pollinator appreciation month

Petition to have all council members dress up for declarations like these.

Swetlik is such a friggin' gem. I'm gonna miss him.
