 All right, let's go ahead. Do we have a motion to approve the July 20th, 2020 minutes? All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed say nay. All right, the motion carries unanimously. All right, do we have any agenda revisions or motions to direct the city manager to add the agenda item? Yeah, there are two items. The short-term mental ordinance and whatever we see back now in terms of the sense that staff made out of the direction we gave. I think we need to mind you, and I've heard from residents that we need to take a look at our ADU ordinance on the heels of that, especially if we're gonna expect to see more ADUs used as short-term rentals. So I'd like to move that the staff find a time on the agenda, on the heels of the update of the short-term rental ordinance that we take a look soon at the ADU ordinance. Second. We should probably act before they start throwing them up. So it's urgent. Yeah, Johnny's on, so let me get with her tomorrow. All right, great. I'm gonna put it on, but let's go ahead and take the vote since there's a motion. All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed say nay. All right, the motion carries unanimously. But a year ago, we authorized the city manager to engage a consultant to do an external evaluation of the Rewind program. So what I'd like to know if other council members share any curiosity in knowing what we learned, not the recommendations and the findings of the details of the report, just what staff learned and how we'll use what we learned to kind of continue to improve what we do with Rewind and the relationship with the Community Justice with Restorative Justice and the Community Justice Partnership. There's a motion on the table. All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed say nay. All right, it passes unanimously. I'm gonna start off with Susan Motika from Boulder County Health. Take it away. Thank you, Harold. Thank you. I am the Strategic Initiatives and Policy Director at Boulder County Public Health and Jeff Zajak, our director, was sorry he could not be here tonight. So an update on the state mask order. As you may know, I'm sure you get feedback on this, the state mask order has been interpreted to require that people wear masks in cubicles, indoors, in offices that don't have closed doors. The state's mask order is due to expire on August 15th. Assume this order gets extended. That's what we're thinking from Governor Polis. So I would say look for an update from us early in the week. We're expecting an answer on a before, on or before August 15th and then perhaps some clarifying information shortly thereafter. So I wanted to let you know we've been doing our Sentinel survey. This is where we sent out a team of people to monitor masks all over the county. We go to sites all over the county and we're seeing 95% compliance in those places. Okay, so this is our cumulative cases and information about our cumulative cases. We are now lower than all but Broomfield and Douglas County. So this is our five day rolling on COVID tests. And again, we see that the percent on positivity has remained steady and is heading downward. Next. So this is showing our racial ethnic breakdown and in the past 10 days, we're seeing 51% of our cases with a known race and ethnicity being Hispanic Latin X. The most significant age groups are elders for hospitalizations and deaths. So these are key COVID data resources that help direct you directly to our webpage, to the exact pages and sources that are dealing with illness and recovery, the summary dashboard, hospital resource dashboard and the CDPHE COVID data. There's three things that they're really hitting on, wearing masks, socially distancing and washing your hands. And the data is now really starting to show that if we do those three things, those are really powerful. What was our area of non-attainment? It was the stable or declining COVID-19 hospitalizations. There's an item today in terms of the work that we're gonna do with them, CSU. And I've asked Roberta to talk to council about this. Roberta, take it away. Good evening. Roberta Luna, Water Quality Laboratory supervisor with the Business Environmental Services and the Public Works and Natural Resources Department. I'll be presenting information on an ongoing project for monitoring the COVID virus in wastewater. The Netherlands research indicated that you could detect the virus days prior to the first clinically confirmed case of COVID-19. We were selected for the second round of testing. Biobot really experienced a tremendous increase in its demand and the demand for its services. The next thing I wanted to update you all on, and this is actually really good news, but as you all know, the council voted to do the tokens for the food program for the $25. We actually partnered with a number of groups to get this done. So the Chamber of Commerce agreed to manage the program. We worked with the Tinker Mill and they created 200 of those $25 tokens. We then gave those out to the folks that were in the free mill program, but the groups that we work with on a normal basis that we assist in with providing food. The good news is we're also partnered with about 50 local restaurants and they're starting to report back that they're actually seeing those tokens come into the restaurants. They're really excited about participating in it. We recently were contacted by two apartment complexes and they indicated that they wanted to figure out how they could purchase those tokens so that they could give them to their residents. And I think that's really the positive. We really like this idea that the council developed and implemented and we want to be part of it. So I wanted to share that with you all. All right, great. Let's move on to consent agenda and introduction and reading my title, the first reading of ordinances. Can you go ahead and read that for us, Don? I can, Mayor, I'll need lots of breath.

I urge you to vote to renew the contract with him at the august 25th council meeting to continue the critical important monitoring of our air quality with the light going in up on pace and south cough and we're sitting a lot seeing a lot of traffic that's coming through and if the council can look at that for us please I'm here council and Karen Roney and Nancy Kerr to ask you to look at in increasing the access to the library I think there are plenty of ways that our library can still prioritize safety and expand access for more people just like our private retailers have had to do please bring to a vote to show that we would no longer have special residential metro districts in our community for the most part these special districts have not been at advantage I think our community would be better without special metro districts. I would like the city to put in a city-wide band on masks I am doing my part and I do not think the council has gotten tough enough on gatherings and masking etc. Someone who talked about the library I do not think we should put the librarians at risk because of children I mean they need to be educated but there are other ways to get the vote and it's not the librarians that set the rules for the library it's the council. City council members please restore a long long span on residential metro districts thank you very much for your time this evening I'm more than happy to answer any questions you might have. I'm speaking once again tonight regarding the traffic signal being placed at the intersection of Pike Road and South Kauffman Street. I along with many residents along South Kauffman Street have concerns about the placement of this signal thank you for your time and I'm also against that the district I don't like that idea at all. I am calling regarding the issue of the five foot setback and I thank Councilman Waters and Mayor Bagley for bringing back the issue of the five foot setback specifically related to the ADU which is an accessory dwelling unit so if you would please urgently consider this I would appreciate it thank you for your time and for all your hard work.

Thank you for the opportunity to speak real quick on what has unfortunately become somewhat of a wedge issue for city council don't know if that's so much the case for our residents of Longmont anyway I would just at this time like to give a brief statement and followed by emotion the issue I just am not convinced at this time that there's any but any way to move any of the our council members my fellow colleagues off of their particular viewpoints concerning metro districts council member martin is probably correct that both the allowance for metro districts as it stands as well as what we're about to likely vote on are probably both outdated once we come through this pandemic and that we should just come up with some closure on the issue until potentially another council decides to bring it back up again with that I move to approve ordinance 2021 thank you second I'm curious why we didn't have a public hearing on this wasn't it's a public hearing you know what you were absolutely right dr waters I was so anxious to avoid the vitriol on the discontent that I forgot so we're gonna actually go ahead and open it up for public hearing at this time and if there's this is pat davis 1709 harvard I'm calling in to support the vote of council members rodriguez tech hedelgo fairing and christiansen okay so I'm not sure anyway what else I can say except I support uh those members who voted uh yes so uh thank you very much we'll go ahead and close the public hearing at this time and then there was there was we have to re-vote on the matter so let's go ahead and let's go ahead and vote the motion submitted by uh councilor mayor pro tem rodriguez was a motion to pass on its 2020-11 is written the bill for an ordinance emitting chapters 4.1o the long missed code on special districts policies and procedures all in favor say aye aye opposed say nay nay all right so the motion carries five to two with council members martin in waters uh against all right let's move on to ordinance 2020-29 a bill for an ordinance emitting chapter 14.52 section 14.52.030 the law month municipal code on compensation for disposition of open space property um let's go ahead and open the public hearing all right let's go ahead and close the public hearing um let's go ahead do we have a vote from or a motion from council.

Um general business housing human services advisory board recommendations for second quarter 2020 affordable housing funding. Staff has a presentation I believe. This is our second quarter affordable housing funding application cycle that we went out this is a little bit of background just to ground this again. So what we've allocated so far an affordable housing funding is 1.425 on the cdbg funding available that was all allocated in 2020 or in early 2020 um on the home funding. If you remember we allocated our entire 2021 set aside for longmont that is the year that we would get the home consortium funding. All right so we did take applications for affordable housing funds in the April 20th to May 2020 second time frame. So the funding recommendation from the housing and human services advisory board and the technical review group is to provide 127 $120,000 grant. So there was a lot of discussion um as the housing advisory board and the technical review group were considering this project. All right thank you very much for your presentation we really appreciate it except I moved that we accept the the recommendation uh funding habitat and that's been seconded by councilor redougal faring. Councilor. All right we've got a motion on the table and the motion was to uh accept the housing and human services advisory board recommendation for second quarter 2020 affordable housing funding. So let's go ahead and vote all in favor say aye. Aye. I'll oppose say nay. All right the motion passes unanimously. Thank you very much. Right councilor martin. I just would like to say something about the traffic light at Pike and Kaufman which is that the number of people who demanded that traffic light was not a vocal few it was many people who came to public invited to be heard for weeks on end to try to defend the character of their neighborhood. So I just want to remind the public that if you really have the expectation that nothing ever changes in your neighborhood that you need to take the opportunity of public engagement that the city of Longmont offers you because we work really hard at it and not everyone can always agree but if we don't hear from you in time you may not like the result. All right thanks everybody have a good night. Good night. We're adjourned.
