Public Participation
None.
Consent Items
Consent Items – Bowden discussed the State’s 5 Star Certification program. Applications for this program
will be submitted this week.
Shapins discussed issues with the homeless encampments, particularly by the Boulder Creek
Path and by the Municipal Building and asked about city strategy to address this. Bowden said
that the City has direction from Council on safety in public corridors and guidance around
services provided to the unhoused at this time. She reported that at the January 19 council
meeting, there will be a discussion about safe and welcoming public spaces and city’s
participation in those areas. Council members Young and Brockett have had several additional
meetings with the Human Rights Commission to explore the city’s policy.
DBP Update (Chip)
Chip provided further information on the 5 Star Certification Program. The County would need
to stay below red in the State’s COVID dial for two weeks before businesses would be able to
apply. Niemeyer discussed the Governor’s move of municipalities to orange level on the COVID
dial, even though the health department numbers are still at red. Because of this, if a business
gets 5 Star Certification at this time, they still stay at orange. Bowden said she anticipates the
County will go forward with the administrative committee putting in an application. That doesn’t
make everyone automatically move a level. It will continue to be driven by hospitalization
statistics.
Bowden stated that when the 5 Star Certification Program web page is live, it will be linked on
the City’s COVID business support page. Landrith reported that once the program gets going, the
03.09.21 DMC Meeting Packet Page 2
County will be making announcements twice weekly on where we’re at on the COVID dial.
Chip discussed DBP outreach to downtown businesses regarding post-COVID outdoor dining.
They are also focused on communication with police regarding public safety. During December
the Business Improvement District funded some overtime police officers downtown. It was well-
received and they are exploring opportunities to extend this. They are scenario planning on
possible fall events and holiday events. Downtown Boulder Foundation is finalizing their
strategic plan. DBP has launched a Community Advisory Board. They will work on engaging
community downtown.
Chip and Bowden talked about Boulder’s recent ranking as the fourth strongest and most
resilient economy in the western region. https://bouldercolorado.gov/newsroom/boulder-
economy-ranks-no-4-in-nation-expected-to-remain-resilient
Matters from Staff
Downtown Boulder Bike Dismount Zone & Micro mobility Timeline (Dave “DK” Kemp)
(See 01.12.21 Presentation)
Matters from Commissioners
Niemeyer asked about plan for the street closure between 9th and 11th during COVID and
whether this might continue as a permanent extension. Bowden said that they’ve remained in
conversation with Chip in advance of council discussion regarding the length of the current
program. Any permanence would be informed by a larger process that would be considered by
Transportation Mobility. They remain in conversation with Chip as far as the current program
that is in effect until the end of February. She anticipates another extension. Chip/DBP is
beginning the process of outreach to see if a more permanent extension is something business
owners and surrounding community want and would come back to the city to discuss if so.
Ultimately, that decision would be made by Transportation.
Niemeyer asked about the Boulder Star and who decides how long this will remain illuminated.
Yvette said this is a decision of the Chamber working with Open Space and Mountain Parks
Department. Niemeyer would like to see the star lit until we’re all vaccinated. Nuzum agreed.
Chip will relay this information to John Tayer.

Updates on Community Vitality work plan programs and projects for city special district boards.
These updates are for informational purposes only and require no discussion or votes.
Special District Updates
•UHGID Comprehensive Landscape Plan Designer Selected. Russell + Mills Studios
of Ft. Collins, which designed the Hill Event Street in 2017, was selected by a joint
committee of commissioners and staff to design a comprehensive approach to replacing
trees that were removed in 2020 because of Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). A draft design
will be presented for public input at the March UHCAMC meeting.
•CAGID St. Julien Parking Garage Maintenance
Maintenance projects started at the end of January are projected to continue for
approximately three months. They include concrete repairs inside parking areas and new
deck coating (surfacing material on the drive lanes) to protect the concrete repairs.
Impacts to the public include closure of the lower level of the garage and localized
closures surrounding critical areas in the upper level. During the surface coating (late
March into April, 2-3 weeks), modifications will be made to the ramp and parking access
areas. Details are being finalized and will be shared as they become available. In
conjunction with the improvements, the hotel will complete a surface coating project in
the hotel-owned valet parking area within the garage.
•CAGID Staircase Replacements 1500 Pearl Garage – Replacement of the north/main
staircase began on Feb. 23. To maintain public access to the Parking and Access front
office during construction, the front office operations were moved on Feb. 17 down to the
police annex at street level on 16th Street. 1100 Spruce Garage – Paint work on the north
staircase is nearing completion and will be followed by minor concrete, paver, and brick
work through mid-March.
Community Vitality Updates
•Restaurant S.O.S. Program Update. The Restaurant S.O.S. Program launched in
November to support local restaurants by eliminating delivery fees for both customers
and restaurants through January 24th, 2021. Their hard work resulted in 8,550 deliveries
for 84 restaurants and 5,410 customers. The program was operated by a third-party
delivery company, Nosh Boulder, that was selected through a competitive process.
Customers can continue to order from Nosh Boulder to support participating restaurants:
under the agreement with the city, Nosh will cap its restaurant fees at 15% either through
2021 or until indoor capacity restrictions due to COVID are lifted, whichever occurs first.

•AMPS Implementation: Revitalizing Access in Boulder
The AMPS Implementation: Revitalizing Access in Boulder project was presented for
direction from City Council at a Jan. 26 study session. Council provided thoughts on draft
project goals and data considerations. Over the next month, the project team will work to
narrow in on clear recommendations by comparing approaches for neighborhood parking
management and parking pricing to determine how well they achieve draft project goals
and citywide goals around transportation, economic vitality, climate and sustainability.

•Boulder County gets approval for 5 Star Business Certification Program
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) has approved
Boulder County's application for the state’s 5 Star Certification Program. The Colorado 5
Star Certification Program is designed to allow certified businesses (inspected and
compliant with the program’s criteria) to operate one level below the county’s current
state COVID dial level (may only operate at GREEN by executive order from Gov. Polis)
if the county meets four specific benchmarks of COVID-19 impact in the county. For a
business to qualify for the program, it must demonstrate that it has implemented all the
required public health measures to help protect customers and staff from contracting
COVID-19 and be inspected by the program staff. A webinar for businesses to learn
about the process and ask questions was held on Feb. 5. More information, in both
English and Spanish, is posted on Boulder County’s 5 Star Certification Program website.
At this time, twenty businesses in Boulder have been confirmed into the program.

DOWNTOWN MANAGEMENT COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Members of Downtown Management Commission
FROM: Sarah Wiebenson, Senior Project Manager, Community Vitality Department
Lane Landrith, District Services Specialist
DATE: March 9, 2021
SUBJECT: Pearl Street Mall Mobile Vending Carts – 2021 Permit Applications
BACKGROUND
Each year, the City of Boulder issues a limited number of mobile vending cart (MVC) permits to enhance
the vibrancy of the Pearl Street Mall. The application period typically begins in December, with approval
by the end of February. Permits are valid for a one-year period, beginning April 1 and ending March 31,
with options to renew for two additional one-year periods. A new permit application is required for all
vendors thereafter.
Due to COVID-19 related delays, the 2021 application period shifted to January-February. Existing
vendors were asked to confirm their interested in permit renewal by February 3rd. A notice of available
permits was then posted to the city’s social media and sent for broader distribution to several city
economic vitality partners, including the Boulder Chamber, Latino Chamber, Boulder County NAACP,
Downtown Boulder Partnership and The Hill Boulder merchants association. Applicants will be notified
by mid- March whether their application has been denied, approved or approved with conditions.
2021 PERMIT APPLICATIONS
By the application deadline, 3 complete applications were received for the 4 available spaces shown on
the map in ATTACHMENT A. Section 4-11-19 of the Boulder Revised Code requires that the Downtown
Management Commission approve, deny or approve with conditions each of the applications based on the
review criteria in ATTACHMENT B. The applications have already been reviewed by staff for code
compliance. The 2021 applications are provided in ATTACHMENT C. Applicants were required to
submit a schematic of their cart design, a written statement with their business experience and an
inventory of products, sale prices and seasonality of products.

Relevant business experience and financial feasibility
We have been in business since July 2020. Obviously Covid has had a large impact on the
business but since opening we have recouped all initial investments and are currently profitable with no
outstanding debt. This is due in large part to our lean business model. Fixed costs are relatively low
(essentially just commissary kitchen rent and permitting costs) and the food cost for our quesadilla
ingredients is reasonable. We also designed the menu to be flexible in that we can offer a large variety
of different quesadillas while only needing a small variety of base ingredients. This makes the entire
process more streamlined and efficient in terms of cost, food waste and food prep. Covid has caused us
to pivot the business (we were initially planning for public events, fairs, festivals and catered private
events) but we have found success partnering with Boulder breweries, which shows further flexibility
that our cart provides. We currently spend no money on marketing. If any unforeseen costs were to
arise, we have enough saved in our business account to cover it without seeking any external financing.
Both owners – Miguel and I (Ben) have experience (combined 6+ years) in the food service
industry playing roles in both the front and back of house. This is extremely important as it pertains to
the logistics and quality of food and food prep, as well as customer interaction and experience. I
graduated Elon University in 2017 with majors in finance and entrepreneurship and while this is my first
experience running a business, the past 8 months have been extremely enlightening. It has been a grate
(pun intended) learning experience, and I’m sure there is still much to be discovered. Our mentor at the
03.09.21 DMC Meeting Packet Page 15
SBDC has also been a valuable resource in many regards, especially when first setting up and planning
the business.
Hours of operation, products prices and seasonality
Attached to this email is a copy of our menu and prices, which we display on a sandwich board on the
cart (as seen in the above photo).
Currently our schedule is Thursday-Sunday but if we were to receive a Pearl Street vending permit the
schedule would likely be Monday-Thursday 12-4, and Friday 1-5. Our schedule can be very flexible and
depending how our current weekend brewery schedule changes, we would be open to adding weekend
times to our Pearl schedule.
Prices range from $4-9 for a quesadilla and $2 for drinks. We wanted to keep the menu affordable and
approachable and hope our prices reflect that.
Seasonality does not play a large role in our menu offerings. Some items play better to certain weather
(we’ve noticed the tex mex med sells better on warm days for example) but nothing that we would take
off due to the season. We would be open to adding items to the menu due to seasonality (pumpkin
spice quesadilla for October or Thanksgiving quesadilla for example). We are always thinking up new
items to keep the menu dynamic and interesting, as well as taking feedback from customers to enhance
our offerings.
Closing thoughts
We just wanted to take the time to thank you for the time to read our application and consider us for a
permit. We are both from Boulder (we actually met at Boulder High), so being a part of the historic
downtown would be amazing.

Statement of Relevant Business Experience
Lambchop/Sheeple LLC is a concept food cart borne of the need for comforting, healthy, locally sourced food that can be served outdoors, in a safe and reassuring environment.The menu is intentionally simple, healthy, and affordable for the citizens of Boulder and it’s visitors. It will include seasonal offerings and specials designed to give comfort and sustenance, and will endeavor to support local farmers and ranchers while keeping prices affordable. Through offerings such as lamb chops and shepherd’s pie served from a real “shepherd’s trailer”, we aim to become a unique and memorably branded business that will draw a loyal following. We plan to also sell branded (sheep-face) facemasks (see attached) to encourage health and safety by engaging the community with a little humor while passively marketing the brand through encouraging the use of it’s facemasks throughout the community.
