“Okay, and at the end of the title report, you know, it suggested working with the hotel, the new hotel, and to reserve part of the spruce for their valet services, but could we consider doing that for other users so that there's a process that it doesn't favor just the new hotel and thinks about some of the other users in the community?”

“And then when we sell the lot, if we do, does that then end the relationship with this property in Cajun? It exists in Cajun, but there's no longer any contributing revenue to the Cajun.”

“And then just going back to the accessing parking, it's just a thought I had because we know we're hearing from Boulder High as we start ticketing because of the meters near Boulder High, the students are going to be paying $13 to $15 a day to go to school if they're not accommodated in their parking lot. So I just want to make sure that we include other users like that into these conversations if we're starting to sort of dedicate parking. Thanks.”

“Yeah. First, I just wanted to thank all of you for coming this evening and thank you specifically for all the contributions you make to our community. Uh, I was at the church a couple of weeks ago to listen to David Skaggs and just understand the value of all the people that you bring into our community. Um, I, uh, my biggest concern, um, about this process has been just the general question of how do we declare a property surplus in the city and what is our process for disposal? And there are a lot of different ways to talk about this, and I hope that we define some clear pathways to do…”

“Yeah, on the, and thanks for all this information and all the work that you did putting this all together. For the bond measure, could you remind us what the impact would be for a residential property as well as the impact from a TMF and the early childhood tax? Certainly. And also the timing when each, when residents or businesses would feel the impact of those taxes?”

“I do have a colloquy. I was just reading about the DDA in old Colorado City that they're thinking about. And can you just tell us sort of what didn't go well in that scenario?”

“Yeah, so I am going to support this, but I also am appreciative that we're looking to make these budgets clearer, and particularly the formation of a citizen advisory panel I think is critical because we just don't have... enough visibility into our community and we need to get more people engaged in our facility and deferred maintenance plan so that we become more practice at talking about it in a regular scheduled way and are clear how we're heading out and maintaining our buildings 20 years down the pike. As I've mentioned before, I think the school board just does an excellent job on…”

“Yeah, you know, we talked about this a couple years ago, and it took some time to get it on the ballot, and I'm hopeful it's successful. I also did want to appreciate our partnership with BARHA, the Boulder Area Rental Housing Association, that provided feedback and made sure that we are considering some of the different things that might happen and unintended consequences and thanking our legal staff who assured all of us that those exemptions are possible so that as we learn. Also, you know, we'll be able to measure or Define empty homes will be coming up with ordinances and we'll be able…”

“Can I just make a motion? Yeah. All right. I move to make a motion to adopt Ordinance 8762, submitting to the electors of the City of Boulder at the regular municipal coordinated election to be held on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026, the question of authorizing an amendment of the Boulder Home Rule Charter to modify the calculation of the city's debt limitation as set forth in the ballot, specifying the form of the ballot and other election procedures and setting forth related details. Second.”

“Yeah, I think this is a good idea just to come in line with the other municipalities around us, and it also benefits the city. I thought the staff did a good job explaining this.”

“Yeah, thank you, and thank you for all coming out. Whether you are in support of the DDA or whether you're opposed to it, I appreciate your comments. One of the things that throughout this whole process has been trying to, first, I think there was common ground, there is common ground about the need to do something in the downtown, which the city council identified as a priority. What we're seeing, as Nicole mentioned, is tremendous opposition from throughout the community. And I don't think I would characterize it as a smokescreen or misleading. I think instead we did not reach out to all of…”

“Yeah, I'll just echo that. I think the word trust has come up a lot. And I know there's a lot of distrust right now with the business community, probably with me. But there's a lot of, I think that it was Bill Shrum who was talking about the need in his comments that he recognized this distrust of government right now. and the incredible need to be transparent. And I don't think that we can be transparent if we move it forward and then do the engagement. The other piece is on the timing, because we've already committed to not initiating the timing until July of 2027. We could have this ready…”
