Something you might want to be aware of, #Boulder: A new public hearing tmrw night on the police dept's agreement with the FBI to provide officers for anti-terrorism work. First discussed Jan. 18. threadreaderapp.com/thread/1483614…
Not a ton of info (council members have received confidential notes), but some concerns have been raised bc of the FBI's focus on Black Lives Matter protests/organizers.

Tmrw night is the vote to approve the agreement. Sign up to speak at the hearing: bouldercolorado.formstack.com/forms/sign_up_…
And you can read more about this in the Jan. 18 or Feb. 1 meeting packet (my notes are in the above linked thread). Find those here: bouldercolorado.gov/city-council-a…
A better story on these task forces than I could ever do. themarshallproject.org/2019/10/31/why…
(Well, not ever. Just better than I could do right now.)

With 30 min left in this retreat, we have come to the Ranking of the Things.

Council took its proposals from 42 to 22. Now we rank them.
Staff has capacity for 10-12 new things.
So council members are going to pick their top 10.

This last year is going to be a catch-all of the remaining proposals.
First: Nuisance abatement (trash, parking, noise, parties)
This started as part of the Uni Hill work, which got a lot of attention after 2021's riot. It's already ongoing, so may not need to be a new priority.
Some of the ideas, tho, would require more resources. Like Winer's request to shift to a patrol-based model, vs. complaint based.

Two proposals under Election priorities:
Put together (or revive) an elections working group
Move CC elections to even years
Benjamin: This is an extension of work already started to include more people in our community, via direct election of the mayor (OK'd in 2020) and our racial equity work.
Benjamin was a member of the previous election and campaign finance working group, "which was limited in scope and reactionary by design."
