Is there anything else that we'd like to do to direct the city manager to put on a future agenda? All right seeing nothing let's go ahead Harold now you can do your COVID-19 update. So I'm going to show you a couple slides real quick just to continue keeping consistent data coming forward I'm not going to do as many as I normally do. So this is the information in terms of where we are at the state level you can see this peak that you were seeing earlier good news is we tend to be on that downward trend again 20 to 29 year olds continue to be the highest number of cases that we have in Boulder County and down again I think the thing that everybody's really watching in terms of the caseloads and this is when you look at what we have in log mod versus Boulder at 846 what's going to happen in terms of the college students coming back I know that's been a significant topic of conversation in the JIS and Marika's updates that she provides me and what they're looking at they're still strongly recommending that city council stay in the city council and board meetings stay in the virtual format based on the caseloads a lot of part of that if you remember from the email was really talking about the fact that we're heading into fall we're heading into flu season um currently right now they're also monitoring West Nile I think we were we had met for the criteria and we had passed and we were almost meeting another four so we haven't met all of the criteria in terms of moving into um protect our neighbor so that's probably the big news that we have at this point um if there's any questions generally about COVID and where we are and what we're trying to do I'll be happy to answer those questions to save you all some time so um yeah I have so with the protect our neighbor can is is it that counties can open to that level or does it have to be statewide counties or regions can open can can can make them move into protect our neighbor but and there's a but the county can't do it unilaterally the county has to get um emergency managers um cities so I would be involved in that conversation so everyone has to come together and agree that you can move into protect our neighbor okay Harold what else do you have for us so just based on what we have and the information from Jeff I'm going to continue as as council as we all talked about early on in this listening to the public health director and taking that directive in terms of meetings and then we'll be communicating with you all in terms of the the recommendations that we're receiving from the public health director let's go ahead and do first call public invited to be heard first and then if you go ahead and mail that to me we'll pick up that when we're when we're done with first call so I am part of a group called the boulder county collective and we have a few demands talking about equity in our schools good evening council members and mayor bailey a big way I am one person with two topics and three minutes so I'll get right to it first topic has to do with prpa and our uh plan irp they call it integrate I'm calling in reference to the issue of investment properties being used as short-term rentals in long months I am one of the 12 permitted residents who own one investment property that they are running for short term uh good evening and thank you for letting me speak to you this evening I have lived in the long months of code for the past 11 years and I've worked in the finance and investment field for over 40 years I want to thank all of you for your work and in particular your commitment to a healthy long month that is carbon-free and powered by renewable energy and I too am a member within the boulder county collective and wanted to also communicate some demands because that's the world we live in they're called demands although we're not as strong with them but we do want to see them happen so thank you with that so overall study we want a study that's commissioned by the city and paid for by the city that addresses race gender sexual orientation equity within long months good evening mayor bailey council members I am here to again express concern regarding the traffic signal being installed at the corner of south hoffman street like road I'm calling to support the renewal of dr helmings contract to continue our air quality monitoring in long months my I have or I am part of the boulder county collective on the public safety team and I have a few um demands from us that I'd like to read firstly um right sides are policing force by reducing police responsibilities such as dealing with homelessness mental health and truancy thus giving our men in uniform a break and allocating resources towards community services in a way that solves the issues versus criminalizes it secondly shift police oversight board into a public oversight board where there's transparency to those on it and the issues that they are addressing thirdly start instituting a culture of transparency as it relates to all police use of force or arrests I'm a member of the boulder county collective as the other people who spoke before me are um I would like to thank you all for helping the floor for discussion and I urge you to consider the following demands that we came up with as a collective okay great thank you so much I've been meaning to get to these meetings for a lot and I can thank my friends with the boulder county collective for helping me get here um I'm with the health and wellness department of the boulder county collective for the health and wellness sector I demand immediate allocation of significant COVID county and local dollars to go towards social services in long-term solutions the along with city council and mayor my husband and I heard about the possibility of regulating short-term rentals to second properties even though we extremely busy I decided to call in and voice my objections we just upgraded our rental property with hopes to rent it out for short-term tenants we already invested tons of money and our own labor the property is five minutes away from our house and we have been working on that even in ten weekends for the last year now we feel that the rug has been pulled out from under our feet what I'm calling it to speak in favor of the charter change from 20 year to 30 year lease maximums to total no-brainer to allow the city to do the same thing every other municipal government on the face of the earth does and make long-term commitments to non-profits like hope or city-owned entities like PRPA to the minor change to the charter that will help Longmont recover from the recession I think every resident of Longmont should vote for this also my congratulations to Mr. Victor Vela and Ms. Marta Moreno and the members of El Comite. Let's go ahead and move on to the redo on the uh uh special reports and presentations of proclamation designating August 2020 as El Comite de Longmont month in Longmont Colorado this is a proclamation designating August 2020 as El Comite de Longmont month in Longmont Colorado whereas August 14 2020 marks the 40th year anniversary of a tragic event involving two Latino teams in the Longmont police department that inspired the creation of El Comite de Longmont and whereas Latino community leaders Victor Vela and Marta Moreno founded El Comite de Longmont on November 26 1980 and began work with the Department of Justice to advocate for the rights of Latinos and improve community relations with local law enforcement and the community at large now therefore I Brian J. Bagley mayor by virtue of the authority vested in me and the city council the city of Longmont do hereby proclaim August 2020 as El Comite de Longmont month in Longmont and I encourage all residents of this great city to congratulate and recognize the incredible work and contributions to the community by El Comite de Longmont to promote and advocate for social justice and racial equality for the

carries six to one with uh council member christensen opposed a general business 12 a resolution 2020-87 a resolution along city council ordering a notice of public hearing on petition established the LFM business improvement district carol good evening of mayor bagley members of council so this item has been brought to your attention it's in regards to the city's receipt of a uh request or a petition to create what is known as a business improvement district which is allowed under state statute uh it's also referred to as a bid if you're familiar with that uh it's being proposed for an area of the city uh a parcel of land that is on hoover street just north of rogers road and actually immediately to the north of home depot it's currently vacant um so a little bit about the bid in terms of what's allowed or not allowed uh by the way uh I've covered all this information in the report and we'd be glad to ask answer any questions per the report but give you a brief review so basically the statute requires that upon receipt of a completed petition to the city the matter has to be set for a hearing by the city council no less than 20 days or more than 40 days after it is received so we did receive all the organizational documents an operating plan and as of august 7th upon receipt of a $5,000 deposit to help us cover some of the external costs with its processing the applicant or the petitioner fulfilled the requirements under state statute and I think the question is why are we asking and petitioning city council for a business improvement district as tony uh accurately pointed out a business improvement district is just that it's for business it's for commercial it does not involve uh residential property residents are not in any way taxed for this it's a difficult piece of property and I I uh I um congratulate you for being brave enough to take it on can you I can't see all of your the name of your company it just says russ dykstra partner spins it's spencer fein we're a law firm we specialize in in special districts and business improvement districts okay all right um that's all I had to do I think we should set up the meeting is because that's the law and go ahead move ahead with that second it I'm going to move resolution 2020-87 a resolution along with city council ordering a notice of public regret hearing a petition to establish the LFM business improvement district thank you mayor bagley yes I said I can't do it all right all in favor say hi hi opposed say may all right the motion carries unanimously thank you mr dykstra thank you all right let's move on to the boulder air contract renewal and so it looks like dr turner's here uh herald is she up I'm jane turner I'm the city of longmont's oil and gas and air quality coordinator and I'll be presenting tonight on the proposed boulder air contract renewal which staff is bringing before council on behalf of the city manager under purchasing code 4.12.080 council directed staff to contract boulder air services starting in April of 2019 one year later in April of 2020 the contract was extended to august 31st 2020 and that extension was made to account for additional time that was needed to find locations to install the monitoring equipment at the beginning of the study the first statement in task 3 is that boulder air will provide the city with written notice of publications and or public presentations where the next statement asks boulder air to inform the city of any communications the consultant has with journalists or media regarding analysis or interpretation of the city's data by the end of the day in which the statement is made the motion that I will call on everybody's hands rates the motion that's on the floor was to instruct and direct the city man or the city attorney's office to put into the contract and Eugene you can put whatever language you need to but the city shall not deny the use of the data without council's approval was that your motion council member martin that was my motion and I would entertain the friendly amendment to take out the council approval so it has been it has been seconded and now we can go ahead and move on so I apologize I don't know I guess why I don't know how to work the equipment I believe it was council member peck first we'll go with Joan we'll go with temple okay thank you uh council councilwoman martin thank you for that that was exactly what I was going to ask but I want to go if you'll take friendly amendment to go a bit further and take that whole paragraph out all right I'm going to go ahead and call the question it's not debatable let's just vote we need five if we get five we vote on the original motion and we're done all in favor of calling the question of voting say aye aye opposed say nay all right it passes unanimously let's go ahead and vote the motion is to accept the contract directing the city uh city attorney's office to uh alter the contract language so that the city cannot deny uh use of the data unless that denial is approved by city council is that correct council member martin no actually it it it applies it in paragraph one it applies only to publications and presentations based on the data and does not apply to transfers of the data to another researcher which is covered in layer paragraphs okay thank you for the clarification all right let's go ahead and vote on the motion all in favor say aye aye opposed say nay all right the motion carries six to one with dr waters dissenting thank you guys all right let's move on to 12d board appointment to the water board to fill a recent vacancy i move scott hallway second all right all in favor say aye aye opposed say nay all right uh the ayes have it unanimously thank you very much all right 12c climate action task force recommendations mayor bagley members of council i'm annie noble environmental services manager in public works and natural resources and i'm filling in tonight for lisa noblock she recently had a baby um tonight we are bringing the recommendations of the climate action task force back to you and requesting direction on implementation so in october 2019 council passed a resolution declaring a climate emergency and convened a group of community members that are subject matter experts to put together a report with recommendations on how to address the climate crisis this group was called the climate action task force before we get into the recommendations of the climate action task force i wanted to show you this diagram of long months 2019 green house gas emissions which did so the climate action task force identified 27 recommendations that fall into these six topic areas so following the july 7th council meeting some council members provided written comments to saff regarding the implementation of the climate action task force recommendations those council members had expressed support of incorporating the approved recommendations into envision long month and the sustainability plan and of the sustainability board having oversight of the implementation of these recommendations with the projects and programs being incorporated into the work plans of the appropriate work group within the city so this is a list of all of the recommendations and um i just wanted to open it up for just wanted to open it up for discussion and questions and get direction on which recommendations you would like to move forward so okay so what we're proposing is that staff conduct an evaluation on all the approved recommendations and look at the costs and look at the greenhouse gas emission reductions and look at the resources that are needed in the timelines so i move that we make that amendment i honestly believe that the staff will arrive at an equitable formula as they begin their analysis but i'd like to formally sanction that all right if that was actually a motion to basically direct staff to to follow a cost-benefit analysis and all 27 of those items i will second it let us thank you all in favor say aye aye all right the motion carries unanimously all right so herald brings back a list of priorities based on a cost-benefit analysis along with the the items that miss nobles will eloquently describe to us please councilor bed i i i i mean i think uh we voted on an amendment on i you're right you're right we never voted on the contract yes you texted me to the contract yes i move approval of the contract as amended presented in item 12 b thank you dr waters i'll second that so all in favor say aye opposed say nay all right
