Boulder City Council
Reminder: At the Feb. 8 study session, Council will:
• Meet for 3.5 hours for a staff presentation and discussion on homelessness strategy.
At the Feb. 15 meeting, Council will:
• Vote to update and adopt its statement on regional, state and federal policy issues. The statement outlines decisions made outside the City’s authority that could impact the area.
• Take a preliminary vote on the annexation of 27 acres, to be publicly zoned for part of the City’s South Boulder Creek Flood Mitigation project. The City, which uses the address 5600 Table Mesa Drive for the property, wants to annex the area for “jurisdictional clarity and permitting efficiency,” according to Communications Senior Project Manager Angela Urrego. A final vote and public hearing are scheduled March 21.
• Vote on a ceasefire resolution regarding the Israel-Gaza conflict.
• Hear an update from Xcel Energy about the company’s progress toward goals in its franchise agreement with the City. Goals from the partnership include addressing the gap between Xcel’s commitment to 80% carbon emission reduction by 2030 and the City’s own goal of 100% renewable electricity by the same date. The franchise agreement was originally approved by voters in November 2020.
