11, Boulder Revised Code, 1981) to designate landmarks and historic districts; review and approve applications for
Landmark Alteration Certificates on such buildings or in such districts; review demolition applications for non-
designated buildings over 50 years old; and recognize buildings as Structures of Merit.
Public hearing items will be conducted in the following manner:
1. Board members will explain all ex-parte* contacts they may have had regarding the item, if the hearing is

4. Board members will ask any questions to historic preservation staff.
5. The applicant will have a maximum of 10 minutes to make a presentation or comments to the board.
Electronic presentations should be emailed to the Board Secretary at least 24 hours in advance of the
meeting.
6. The public hearing provides any member of the public three minutes within which to make comments.
(1) At the chair’s discretion, members of the public may pool their time provided all members of the pool
are present. Only one member of the pool may speak on behalf of the pool. Maximum pooled time
allowed is as follows: 2 people = 5 minutes; 3 people = 7 minutes; 4 people = 9 minutes; 5 or more people
= 10 minutes.
(2) Members of the public may, at the chair’s discretion, use PowerPoint, images, or handouts as part of
their presentation. Electronic presentations should be emailed to the Board Secretary at least 24 hours
in advance of the meeting. Time limits (above) apply.
7. After the public hearing is closed, there is discussion by board members, during which the chair of the
meeting may permit board questions to and answers from the staff, the applicant, or the public.
8. Board members will vote on the matter; an affirmative vote of at least three members of the board is
required for approval.
* Ex-parte contacts are communications regarding the item under consideration that a board member may have had
with someone prior to the meeting.
All City of Boulder board meetings are digitally recorded and are available from the Central Records office at (303) 441-
3043. A full audio transcript of the Landmarks Board meeting becomes available on the city of Boulder website
approximately ten days after a meeting. Action minutes are also prepared by a staff person and are available
approximately one month after a meeting.
Note that the Landmarks Board adopted the following QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING ELECTRONIC PARTICIPATION
RULE on April 23, 2020.
The Landmarks Board (“Board”) may hold quasi-judicial hearings at a meeting through electronic participation, subject
to the procedures set forth in this Rule. To the extent practical, the Board will use its standard meeting procedures, as
modified by this Rule. To the extent that this Rule conflicts with the procedural rules of the Board, this Rule is intended
to prevail.
QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING ELECTRONIC PARTICIPATION RULE GENERAL PROCEDURES
A. Applicant’s Written Request. An applicant may request to have its application for a hearing conducted via
electronic participation by completing a written request form provided by the city. The applicant will
acknowledge that holding a quasi-judicial hearing by electronic participation presents certain legal risks and
involves an area of legal uncertainty, and the applicant will acknowledge that moving forward with a quasi-judicial
hearing by electronic participation will be at its own risk.
B. City Manager to Determine Suitability of Conducting Quasi-Judicial Hearing by Electronic Participation. These
procedures create no right in any party to a quasi-judicial matter to a hearing conducted by electronic
participation. Upon receipt of a written request, the city manager will determine whether the city has the
capability to hold the particular type of hearing by electronic participation, what available form of electronic
participation is most appropriate for the type of hearing and set a date(s) for the hearing(s).
C. Hearings Open to the Public and Subject to Adequate Technology. Hearings will be open to the public and provide
the ability for interested members of the public to join the hearing electronically. The method chosen by the city
manager will ensure the public can view or listen to the hearing in real time and interested parties may speak at
designated times during the hearing. If at any point the city manager or board chair determines it is not possible or
prudent to hold the hearing by electronic participation, whether due to technical issues or an inability to do so
while meeting constitutional due process requirements, the hearing will be continued or vacated, and the matter
will be held in abeyance until any technical problems can be resolved or in-person meetings have resumed.
D. Notice Requirements. In addition to the requirements of the Boulder Revised Code, the city will include additional
notice about how the hearing will be conducted and how the public can access, observe, and participate in the
hearing. The additional notice is intended to reasonably inform interested persons that such hearing will instead
be held by electronic participation; provided, however, this additional notice will not be deemed jurisdictional.
E. Technological Accommodations. The city will make reasonable efforts to accommodate interested parties who
lack necessary computer equipment or the ability to access such equipment by providing call-in or telephonic
access to the meeting. Interested parties will be encouraged to submit written comments in advance of the
hearing, which comments will be made a part of the hearing record.
F. Hearing Procedures. Hearings are for conducting the business of the City of Boulder. Activities that disrupt, delay
or otherwise interfere with the meeting are prohibited. At the onset of the hearing, the board chair will describe the
hearing procedures, including how testimony and public comment will be received. The department that supports
the Board will moderate the electronic meeting. To the extent practical, any person that wants to attend the
meeting will be added to the meeting and will be muted. Any person that wants to testify should inform the
moderator. The moderator will unmute such person during the public hearing to testify for three minutes.
1. Any documentary evidence will be provided to the designated secretary of the Board via email at least 48
hours prior to the beginning of the meeting. Documentary evidence includes, without limitation, materials
related to specific applications and other documents to be shown electronically during the hearing.
2. Any person testifying, including the applicant, shall be sworn in individually.
3. The applicant will be allowed to speak to its application for 10 minutes. City staff will be allowed to speak
to its recommendations for 10 minutes. The applicant or staff may request additional time from the board
chair for more complicated applications. Persons wishing to testify will be allowed up to three minutes to
speak. For electronic hearings, every person will need to testify for themselves. No pooling of time will be
allowed.
4. The time for speaking or asking questions is limited to facilitate the purpose of the hearing. No person shall
speak except when recognized by the person presiding and no person shall speak for longer than the time
allotted. Each person shall register to speak at the meeting using that person’s real name. Any person
believed to be using a pseudonym will not be permitted to speak.
5. No video participation will be permitted except for city officials, employees and invited speakers. All others
will participate by voice only.
6. The person presiding at the meeting shall enforce these rules by muting anyone who violates any rule.
7. Board members, staff, and applicants shall not use chat features of electronic meeting software except for
the purpose of asking the board chair procedural questions or to request to be recognized by the board
chair to speak.
8. Applicants will be provided the opportunity to speak for up to three minutes prior to the close of the public
hearing.
9. In order to accurately record board member votes, the board chair will call for a roll call vote on any
motions made during the hearing or taking final action.
G. Record. The secretary of the Board will ensure that all equipment used for the hearing is adequate and functional
for allowing clear communication among the participants and for creating a record of the hearing as required by
law; provided, however, the secretary will not be responsible for resolving any technical difficulties incurred by any
person participating in the hearing.

8.MATTERS [01:34:20 audio minutes]
•NAPC Conference Recap
a.Aubrey Noble, John Decker, and Bill Jellick shared their experiences at the National Alliance of
Preservation Commissions.
J.Decker:
-Cincinnati Historic Preservation Action Plan surveying the city’s resources. Interesting
that they have never done this before despite having accomplished so much.
-Affordable Housing in historic buildings. Over the Rhine has found a balance between
gentrification and supporting the diversity of the neighborhood so the benefits flow in
different directions.
-A group of urban artists called Blank. does large scale projection art programming
around the city. Interested in coordination between the Landmarks Board and the arts
commission to partner in the future.
-Would like to involve public engagement in new district decision making.
W.Jellick:
-Interested in engaging the community in preservation planning. Key point from Denver:
Use Mentimeter software to collect information from the public through voting on
interest topics.
-Would like to explore alternative materials discussion particularly related to hardie
board and cementitious siding on historic structures.
-Murals are an interesting way to engage people by enhancing buildings through the arts.
A.Noble:
Short video on San Antonio’s deconstruction ordinance and city owned structures to repurpose and
salvage historic materials.
-R. Pelusio suggested an idea to form a mutually beneficial partnership with Resource
Yard or another architectural salvation location in Denver. The board is interested in
exploring deconstruction and diversion requirements in Boulder and think this could be
another great thing to add to the program’s wheelhouse.
•Retreat follow up DRAFT

a. M. Gerwing shared the Agreements from the retreat, which will be added to the beginning of the
meeting slides. Staff and the board discussed the use of the hand raise function.
• Check in on work plan for 2023
a. M. Gerwing spoke about limited staffing this fall as she will be out on parental leave. During this
time, the program will focus on core services, including Administrative reviews, LDRC meetings,
Landmarks Board meetings, referrals (Land Use, Building Permit, Enforcement) and the Certified
Local Government Report. The sole “special” project will be to submit a State Historic Fund grant
application to install a sign at the Second Baptist Church. In 2023, it is anticipated that the Historic
Preservation Program will begin two special projects: revising the demolition code and a project to
evaluate establishing a new Civic Area Historic District.
b. W. Jellick shared a list of Board Initiatives. A. Daniels requested that the list be kept “live” and that
the board discuss 1-2 at the end of each meeting.

The Landmarks Board and staff meet annually in retreat to discuss accomplishments, identify areas for
improvement, and to prioritize items for the next year’s work program while providing the opportunity to engage in
discussion topics.
Board members present:
Abby Daniels, Chair
John Decker, Vice Chair
William Jellick
Ronnie Pelusio
Chelsea Castellano
Laura Kaplan, Planning Board ex-officio member
City of Boulder staff present:
Brad Mueller, Director of Planning & Development Services
Kristofer Johnson, Comprehensive Planning Manager
Lucas Markley, City Attorney
Marcy Gerwing, Principal Historic Preservation Planner
Clare Brandt, Historic Preservation Planner
Aubrey Noble, Program Coordinator and Landmarks Board Secretary
Faith Hamman, Historic Preservation Intern
Introductions
Why is historic preservation important to you?
What do you want the reputation of the program to be?
Productive Atmospheres (discussion led by Brenda Ritenour)
Resources are available online: https://bouldercolorado.gov/services/productive-atmospheres, including
Productive Atmospheres vision and list of Enduring Issues that make enacting the vision challenging
Develop language to remind each other of the core tenets of our productive atmospheres vision when
lapses occur, or commentary becomes heated
Inclusion and Belonging Inclusion-Exclusion Behaviors document
o Board self-manages difficult discussion, but how do we avoid getting there in the first place?
o Broader inclusion to seek out and recognize underrepresented communities
Laura requested feedback on the statement of a “Hearing, not a Prosecution.” Staff explained the
atmosphere should not be adversarial as in a prosecution. Applicants, staff, and board members should
feel comfortable sharing their opinions without fear of reprisal. Bill & Abby noted that on occasion, the
board feels prosecuted/challenged by the public and feel pressured to hold their reaction
Meeting management
o Emotions and/or opinions make discussion harder
o Speaking in alphabetical order is a function of virtual meetings; agreement that if a board
member is not ready to speak, they can request to be skipped and returned to later
o Abby shared three types of board members: Affiliate (longest Christmas card list), achiever
(longest to-do list), power-person (most plaques on the wall). Stop circling around differing
opinions and rather focus more time on compromising/final decision
LANDMARKS BOARD RETREAT
DATE: Monday, July 25, 2022
TIME: 1:00 - 4:30 p.m.
PLACE: Via video conference
o Include time frames in agendas at Landmarks Board meetings (trial run on the August
Landmarks Board meeting
o Avoiding going off on tangents; acknowledge that we have a narrow charge and should focus,
yet where there’s interpretation and flexibility it should be defined (and how it can fit into the
community vision)
Have specific language for the board – used for managing Planning Board meetings
Criteria & Code
Purpose of the Board (Kristofer Johnson)
o Promote and facilitate the preservation of Boulder’s diverse historic resources (physical buildings,
landscapes in between, and intangible – sense of place)
o Historic preservation partnership: Landmarks Board, City staff, and community (the stewards of
Boulder’s historic recourses)
o Staff role to help the board understand the criteria and help the board make
Legislative/Quasi-judicial Actions (Lucas Markley)
o Need more clarity and transparency on demolition review code (9-11-23), whether the stay is
reviewed under Quasi-Judicial, Legislative, or administrative rules and when it changes
Criteria-based decisions (Applying Code and Guidelines)
Robert’s Rules
