AGENDA ITEM 4 – Police Update: Josh DeBough and Ryan Austin - Tickets down 32% year
over year but equivalent number of arrests. Overtime positions filled. The core team is 5 plus the
HOT (Homeless Outreach Team) and two-officer bike patrol teams on the Creek Path. Working with
P&R on transient issues. There are fewer transients on the Mall due to Civic Area construction but
more on The Hill.
AGENDA ITEM 5 – Parks Update - Callie Hayden: Civic Area construction going well;
tulips coming out and summer plantings going in; 29-day pilot of Port-o-lets along the Creek
starting April 28th – in the future, possibly better units – there is an RFP for the Denver
approach; Civic Area phase I is anticipated to be completed by end of summer. In response to
question, food trucks are not anticipated to be part of the Civic Area activities given proximity to
other dining establishments.

Band on the Bricks resumes on June 7th for its 20th anniversary year; one graffiti vandal
wreaking havoc downtown lately; Bolder Boulder banners going up; yearly touch up (bike racks,
etc.) happening; DBP is warmly endorsing the Planning staff recommendation regarding the
pending ordinance banning financial institutions on Pearl Street.
AGENDA ITEM 7 Matters from the Commissioners: Shapins mentioned that the CU
Environmental Design students did great work thinking about Alpine-Balsam.
