 Let's go ahead and start this regular session for approval of minutes to have a motion to approve the December 1st 2020 regular session minutes moved by Dr. Water seconded by myself all in favor of approving the December 1st 2020 regular session minutes say aye. Aye. Opposed say nay. All right any agenda revisions or submission of documents or motions to direct the city manager for future agenda items. Let's go ahead city manager report update on COVID-19. How we doing? We're doing well. I've actually got a few things to talk to you about changes that occurred at the state level and then CARES funding but the first item the 5000 that you wanted to appropriate a Rappahoe Nation. Council Member Christensen. I would move that the city manager and city staff donate $5,000 to the Northern Rappahoe Tribe to use in the way they see most fit for to help their nation during COVID-19. Thank you. I'll second it. The motion is to instruct staff to move forward by allocating $5,000 out of the council contingency fund in order to apply it to assist the Northern Rappahoe Tribe. All right all in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed say nay. All right the motion carries unanimously. I also need another motion from council to carry over the remaining amount from your contingency fund into 2021. So moved. Second. All right it's been moved and seconded. All in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed say nay. All right the motion carries unanimously. How much is in there right now Harold? 62,000. Plus 40,000 that we would hope to reimburse from CARES money. Don you want to jump in and help us talk through the liquor fee issue? We've had some changes at the state and since this is the last meeting we want to get some direction from you all that we can pass on to the judge and the liquor authority. Don. Mayor and council during the special session that was held by the state legislature they passed a bill that waves a whole bunch of liquor licensing fees for the next year. Bars and restaurants would not have to pay any fee in order to renew their license as a way to help them to recover. So the question is would council like for us to do the same for the same time period? That's a great idea. Councilor Christensen. Yeah I think it's a wonderful way to help our businesses just a little bit restaurants and things. So I made the motion. Councilor Christensen seconded it. All right all in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed say nay. All right that motion carries unanimously. Thanks Don. Good idea. Thank you. The other thing that we've been really working on is the utility assistance grants and so with the work that they're doing at the hour center and the work that we're doing internal with our utility assistance piece we've identified that we're going to have about 90,000. The hour center has moved over to us of which 50,000 we've moved into the utility assistance piece that we're managing which leaves about 40,000 that we need to reallocate. Again we're recommending that go into the business boost grants because it's the easiest and the fastest to expand. Do you need a motion on any of that Harold? If I can just get direction or consensus from council that we move in moving the funds as I described I think that would help me. All right so then I'll move that we authorize Harold to make the adjustments in the cares funding in ways that he just described. Second. All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed say nay. All right you've got your direction Harold. Thank you. This is the information that I've received from Jeff's AI today he presented it yesterday to our county administrators meeting. The first thing you can obviously see that we're at 572.5 per 100,000. When you look at the county rate you can see here that it's 6.4 and then obviously where we set in the 8 to 11 days we're at 11 days of decreasing or stable admissions in Boulder County. When you look at the hospital surge metrics for level purple you can see that we are starting to see some differences and you'll see this when we get into the hospital numbers we're now one to five Boulder County hospitals are reporting anticipated staffing shortage I think last week that was two. The big piece is that we've actually had two days under a hundred or is with over a hundred and we've had one with 200 which is much better than we've been seeing recently. We're still seeing a fairer number of cases associated with long-term care facilities. Currently our five-day rolling average is about 103 cases per day. This has decreased a lot since last Tuesday when the average was 129. Over the past three weeks the new case rates in all Metro counties have been dropping but are still higher than any time before the recent surge. As you can see Boulder the red line is lower than all counties but Broomfield. Highest cumulative rates in per 100,000 18 to 22 23 to 24 and then 25 to 34. You know the the good news is that the case rates have decreased for every age group over the past two weeks compared to the previous two weeks except five to nine year olds where it remained the same. And then again 76.2 percent have no in race and ethnicity and we continue to see large disparities in our Hispanic Latinx population. Again you can see the number of tests that we have in play and the number of positives. Really still what this is showing is the ability to perform a lot of tests. This is the dial where we're seeing where we are and what it looks like. This is also improving and again emergency department visits by county. You can see where we we had a dip but then we went back that we're still performing really well compared to other counties. Let's go on to the consent agenda.

All in favor of ordinance 2021-03 on first reading say aye. Opposed say nay. All right ordinance 2020-03 on the consent agenda passes unanimously. Let's go ahead and go on to E. Several months ago I brought this this contract up so that people would have a chance to look at the two things that I objected to the two things that I object to the Longmont public media doing which are machine transcriptions which if any of you have looked at those transcriptions they are not good and they make us look very bad. It is solely done by a machine no one looks at it you cannot tell who's talking well any of you who know machine transcription know that there's probably a 10% error rated and secondly they do something in which they produce an edited a smaller a shorter version of the city council meeting furthermore it's edited I don't agree with the way it's edited and our city website has a very adequate way of doing this where you can take the agenda and you can just click on what's on the agenda and it'll take you straight to the point these two things are really completely unnecessary to be in the contract they are not only unnecessary but I think they're they make the city look bad. I'm just going to go ahead and move resolution 2020-134. Second. All right it's been moved and seconded. All in favor of resolution 2020-134 say aye. Aye. Opposed say nay.

All right item 10K passes unanimously let's go ahead and go on to item G resolution 2020-136. It just seems to me that given the message that we've already communicated in in what we'd like to communicate and our appeal to other municipalities to join us in a call on other elected officials to join us on the higher ground the wording of the resolution might be a little more encouraging and a little less demanding it just seems to me that the appeal both to other elected officials other municipalities and to the well-counted commissioners if we could um uh simply be more encouraging and less demanding I think we might get a better response at least from other municipalities. I would actually like to move the resolution forward with the amended language provided by councilmember waters. I'll second that. Mayor Pro Tem who are you kidding I I caused the backlash I get that and my whole point in doing so was to get people talking Weld County ignored 23 mayors who sent a nice letter I'm I don't even I couldn't even put my finger on anything necessarily the Weld County citizens and of themselves are doing my whole point was like him or not we elected the governor and he's the guy calling the shots right now we've all got to be a unified body that's it and no one was paying attention now they are anybody else have any other comments before we vote all in favor of resolution 2020-136 say aye.
