Another Tuesday, another city council meeting, another epic tweet thread for ya, #Boulder.
Tonight's a study session. Lots of updates.
On:
- COVID
- municipal court
- e-scooters
And a couple discussions:
- Will this CC ever go back to in-person meetings? Or leave that to new members?
- Will council officially support or oppose any citizen ballot measures this election?
So as far as study sessions go, pretty interesting.
Against all odds based on my inbox and the Reddit/NextDoor discussions people keep sending me EVEN THO I NEVER ASKED TO SEE THEM, I am in a good mood.
My Tuesdays have improved significantly since I started volunteering at homeless outreach.

No presentation for this one, but council is discussing if they will formally oppose or support any ballot measures.
Yates brought this one up. He has remained opposed to Bedrooms Are For People, so we'll see what happens.
Or maybe not: I'm not particularly advocating for council to take a position on the petition measures, Yates says. But he thinks council should formally support the measures IT put on the ballot.
