Staff and other subject matter experts have prepared analysis for discussion related to: •the community’s perspective of the city’s role in the local broadband market; •the financial implications of a municipalized internet utility; and •the market interest from broadband operators /investors in partnering with the city to fulfill Community Broadband objectives. Pending the outcome of the August 24th study session, a public hearing will be held at a future date for Council to formally decide on the path forward. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The urgency of fulfilling the objectives of Community Broadband1, originally defined in 2018 and reaffirmed in January 2023, has never been more relevant. Emboldened by the national conversation on the broadening of the digital divide and anecdotal evidence suggesting community dissatisfaction with the current internet landscape in Boulder, staff has listened to community members representative of diverse socioeconomic statuses, races, ages, living situations, and occupations. They have spoken loudly and with remarkable conviction affirming that affordable and reliable internet access is essential for personal and professional life. Most notably, community members expressed 1 As defined by Council in 2018 and updated in January 2023, objectives for Community Broadband are citywide access, equitable & inclusive, future-oriented, net neutrality, competitive marketplace, and consumer privacy Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 1 Packet Page 4 of 1201 2 frustration at the cost, customer service, reliability, and lack of choice2 in the current internet landscape3. 90.3% of Boulder residents desire action from Council to mitigate these challenges4. The research presented here is lengthy and the issue before Council is both technically complex and philosophically thought-provoking. However, the crux of this matter can be boiled down to two questions: (a) can the city leverage existing owned telecommunications assets to serve a role in creating citywide and affordable access to fiber-based broadband internet services that achieves the objectives defined by Council; and, if so, (b) should a certain model be employed (i.e., which model is the most viable way to achieve the objectives while balancing other factors of risk, cost, time-to-market, and control)? Staff and external experts have summarized three potential models below. All three are used widely throughout the nation, are validated by the City Attorney’s Office as legally feasible, and achieve our Community Broadband objectives, except where noted. Additional details on each are provided in the Matrix of Options section towards the end of this memo. 1.Municipalized Internet Utility: An entirely city-owned and city-operated internet service. The city has the benefit of controlling everything from construction through operations and the benefit of realizing all revenues/service fees, but it has the obligation to cover all expenses necessary to build and operate the infrastructure. The city would also bear all risks associated with network failures, lower than projected take rates5, and competition. Can we? It would be challenging. o There is a lot of precedence, thus many cities to model, especially regionally. However, the favorable conditions present for other cities (e.g., ownership of electric utility, large amounts of existing owned conduit, and more affordable cost of capital due to lower cost of goods and services) are not the reality Boulder faces. o While potentially possible, this is the most expensive model for the city and would require voter-authorized General Obligation debt secured by the General Fund. X Additionally, assuming a 40% take rate, Boulder taxpayers would bear the burden of nearly $10M to $22M a year subsidy (depending on the specific year’s broadband cashflows) to cover a shortfall between internet utility revenues and the year’s operating expenses + debt service. While this is potentially viable, it would require significant community conversation 2 Per FCC data, ~64% of Boulder residences have no choice of provider for wired internet service. 3 Attachment 1 – 2023 Boulder Internet Demand Study 4 Attachment 1 – 2023 Boulder Internet Demand Study 5 Take rate is defined as the percentage of potential subscribers who are offered the service that do subscribe. Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 2 Packet Page 5 of 1201 3 and entail tough funding trade-off discussions and decisions as other current General Fund services would have to be reduced. Why should / shouldn’t we? ✓This model puts the city in full control from design and construction methods to operational decisions such as price, service area, customer service, and service offerings. X This model creates an innate conflict between achieving a Community Broadband objective of a competitive marketplace and the financial viability of the city-owned internet service. The entrance of a city internet utility into the market would, theoretically, increase competition. However, it is possible that competition from incumbent providers and/or entrance of another provider could make an already challenging financial situation impossible for the internet utility. X The financial risk to the taxpayer cannot be overstated as Boulder would enter a market with two national internet companies. For the first time in its history, the city would enter a competitive for-profit utility marketplace. The two incumbent providers have significant existing capital investments that they would seek to protect, national marketing and customer service apparatus to appeal to customers, and decades of overall experience in this space. Because of their national customer base, they also, we assume, have more flexibility to lower prices locally to “beat” prices the city could offer and retain market share while maintaining financial solvency. Without additional General Fund subsidy, the city would not have this same flexibility. X Time-to-market is critical to serve the needs of constituents and this model will take, conceptually, the longest time to implement. 2.Public-Private Partnership (Partially or Fully City-Owned Internet Infrastructure that is Partner Operated): This is a balanced approach, with the city realizing the benefit of having a partner address costs and risks to which they are best suited/have expertise, while preserving some level of control (and responsibility) to the city and placing on the city some level of risk. Can we? Maybe. ✓Some market interest from operator and/or capital partners exists. X Similar financial constraints exist as with the creation of a municipalized internet utility. Why should / shouldn’t we? ✓Some direct control remains with the city. Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 3 Packet Page 6 of 1201 4 o Assuming partial partner ownership in middle- and last- mile infrastructure, the city would likely need to change its Design and Construction Standards6 to allow shallow trenching7. X The financial risk to the city remains with level of exposure dependent on ownership stake. X Time-to-market is likely quicker than with municipalized internet utility, but it remains long. 3.Backbone Lease & Right-Of-Way Agreement (Negotiate Community Broadband Objectives with an Internet Provider who owns middle- and last- mile infrastructure and operates network): This is the city's most feasible and lowest risk approach. The city leases backbone assets to a third-party service provider. The service provider would fund, construct, and own the middle- and last-mile infrastructure and operate the network consistent with their regular business, subject to the terms of the lease – which would include terms that further the city’s Community Broadband objectives either directly or indirectly. Can we? Yes. ✓Strong market interest from capital + operator partners exists. ✓The cost to the city, relative to the other models, is minimal and would not require the city to issue debt. Why should / shouldn’t we? ✓The city has a valuable backbone asset as negotiation leverage. ✓Additional financial investment and risk is low for the city. ✓Private capital and partners with extensive market knowledge and construction partnership mean the fastest time to serve customers. o The city would likely need to change its Design and Construction Standards to allow shallow trenching. X The city will have less control without an ownership stake in the middle- and last- mile infrastructure or network operations. Ultimately, Council must decide which one of these models does the best to answer the questions of “can we?” and “should we?”. Doing so requires careful consideration of the balance between achieving Community Broadband objectives, cost, control, and risk. Based on the research presented in this memo, staff will, at a future public hearing, recommend the third option, that the Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate our Community Broadband objectives into a backbone lease and right-of-way agreement with a partner who fully owns the middle- and last- mile infrastructure and operates the internet service in exchange for rights to use existing city-owned fiber assets. 6 https://bouldercolorado.gov/media/969/download?inline= 7 Shallow trenching is the practice of laying conduit with infrastructure such as fiber in a narrow and shallow trench cut into roads and other surfaces – typically up to 16 inches deep, above existing utilities in the right-of-way. Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 4 Packet Page 7 of 1201 5 QUESTION FOR COUNCIL 1.What, if any, additional information does Council need before deciding between: a.authorizing the City Manager to negotiate an agreement with a partner to deliver on the Community Broadband objectives (staff recommendation); or, b.instructing the City Manager and staff to continue exploring financing options for a city-owned or partially city-owned network. BACKGROUND Boulder City Council approved an investment in fiber backbone infrastructure in 2018 as the first of multiple steps to bring high-quality internet services to Boulder. The approach in 2018 was to construct the backbone and, initially, use it to improve connectivity with city sites, traffic signals, and public safety assets. Ultimately, the vision was to either leverage the backbone with a private partner or use it to create a municipal internet utility. A detailed history of Boulder’s Community Broadband efforts can be found in the January 12, 2023, City Council memo. An update of construction on the city-owned fiber backbone, set for completion by the end of 2023, is included in Appendix 1. At the January 12th City Council Study Session, staff was asked to prepare additional analysis related to the financial feasibility, market interest, and community desire for a municipal internet utility or a public-private partnership. Based on Council feedback, staff executed a six-month analysis project with the following priorities: •Assess the quality and market interest of private partners through a Request for Information to understand current partnership strategies, industry experience, and level of interest from the private sector in partnering with the city; •Update cost assumptions and financial modeling for potential revenue and expenses to be generated with a municipal internet utility and understand the city’s opportunities to finance a new utility; •Conduct a statistically valid resident survey, business community focus groups, and interviews with other stakeholders including manufactured home communities, Community Connectors in Residence, peer cities, and incumbent internet providers to assess current sentiments about internet service in Boulder; •Understand the current internet landscape including who is underserved, and why. ANALYSIS Analysis of Wired-Internet Accessibility The Colorado Broadband Office (CBO) was established in 2016 with the vision that all Coloradans should have equal access to affordable, fast, and reliable broadband service. As the authority on coordinating activity and funding across the state, the CBO has defined acceptable “broadband service” to be speeds of at least 100 megabits per second (Mbps) download and 20 Mbps upload (100/20 Mbps) via wired internet. CBO’s definition of broadband-level service is a step further than the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), who defines “broadband” as 25/3 Mbps. For the purposes of the Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 5 Packet Page 8 of 1201 6 analysis of broadband accessibility in the City of Boulder, staff have gone a step further than the CBO and used a 250/25 Mbps threshold provided only via wired connection – the gold standard. Using FCC data8 from December 31, 2022, staff concludes that 99.5% of residential premises in the City of Boulder have access to the internet via wired connection at 250/25 Mbps. Of these residential premises: •99+% have access to cable internet, owned and operated by Comcast, under the brand name “Xfinity”. •36% of residential premises also have access to a fiber-based option offered by Lumen, under the brand name “CenturyLink”. •Approximately 64% of households therefore have no choice when selecting a wired internet solution for their home. •Further analysis of the 0.5% (approximately 250 premises) who, according to the FCC data, do not have access to wired internet revealed that all are located on a single manufactured home community parcel. Through discussions with ownership of that manufactured home community, it was revealed that residents typically receive internet through a wireless provider such as Live Wire Networks or T-Mobile. Community Engagement The purpose of this phase of community engagement was to (1) inform the community about the status of the Community Broadband project, (2) to understand community and stakeholder priorities for internet quality, price and access, and (3) to assess community perspective on the city’s role in providing internet service. This project’s engagement plan was supported by a project-based Racial Equity Instrument. It included a discussion with City of Boulder Community Connectors-in-Residence, a statistically valid community survey, business community focus groups, input received via BeHeard Boulder, discussions with owners, property managers, and resident representatives from the city’s five manufactured/mobile home communities, and discussions with the city’s two incumbent residential wired internet providers, Comcast and Lumen. Community Connectors Staff met with the Community Connectors-in-Residence (CC-in-Rs) in May 2023 to seek their feedback early in the community engagement process. Staff asked questions about how CC-in-Rs prioritize attributes of internet service (quality, price, access) and if they believed the city should play a role in Boulder’s broadband market. In general, the CC-in-Rs expressed support for a city-operated service. They suggested that bundling services (phone, internet, tv) would likely be needed to replace offerings from incumbent providers. They shared concerns about how the city would approach equitable access and pricing. CC-in-Rs also expressed value in the Affordable Connectivity Program and believe any city-operated or partnered service must be a program participant. 8 https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov/home?version=dec2022 Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 6 Packet Page 9 of 1201 7 The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) program to help low-income households pay for internet service and connected devices like a laptop or tablet. Eligibility is based on household income below 200% of the Federal Poverty Line, or if someone in the household currently participates in certain public assistance programs like SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, WIC, Pell Grant, or Free and Reduced-Price Lunch. If eligible, the household receives up to a $30/month discount on internet service. This program is used by an estimated 2,500 households (5.3%) in the city today9. Funding for the ACP was initially established through Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 but long-term funding for the ACP is currently unknown and, according to some experts, current funding could run out as soon as 202410. Resident Survey and Business Focus Groups Via a Request for Proposals (RFP) process, the city contracted with an independent research firm, BBC Research & Consulting, to conduct a statistically valid survey of Boulder residents. Statistically valid indicates that the survey responses are from a representative sample of the Boulder population (per 2020 census figures) and promise representative findings with 95% confidence. Additional details on survey methodology can be found in Attachment 1. BBC Research & Consulting also conducted a series of four focus groups of 8-10 small/medium sized business representatives each to better understand their internet service needs and how they may differ from the residential consumers. The city solicited focus group participation through an invitation to businesses who remit sales tax to the city and to members of the Latino Chamber of Commerce of Boulder County. The Boulder Chamber also included information in a member newsletter. Key findings from the community survey responses include: •Most households indicated a desire and demand for city-provided or -partnered services. •Most households currently pay between $50 and $75 for internet services (inclusive of equipment rental but not including taxes and fees). •Most households are willing to pay between $60 and $80 per month for city- provided internet services. •Households make internet provider decisions based on reliability, speed, and cost. •Households identified various barriers to switching to city services including concerns about cost, quality, and a lack of trust in government-operated services. •Households not satisfied with their current services are more likely to switch to City-provided internet services than households satisfied with their current 9 https://www.usac.org/about/affordable-connectivity-program/acp-enrollment-and-claims- tracker/#enrollment-and-claims-by-zipcode-and-county 10 https://www.brookings.edu/articles/washington-may-be-about-to-take-a-giant-step-backward-in-closing- the-digital-divide/ Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 7 Packet Page 10 of 1201 8 services (ratings of 4 or 5; not satisfied = 85%; satisfied = 69%). •Households indicated that current services are expensive, can be unreliable, and lack effective customer support. However, most households remain relatively satisfied with the current Internet services. Key findings from the business focus groups include: •Most businesses indicated a desire and demand for city-provided internet services but not necessarily for city-operated. Several businesses expressed skepticism about the city’s ability to operate an internet utility without consultation or partnership with an existing provider. •Businesses, like households, indicated that current services are expensive, can be unreliable, and lack effective customer support. •A lack of competition for internet services in Boulder was repeatedly cited as a major challenge for small businesses. •There is often a disparity between upload and download speeds on internet provided via cable to small businesses. •Businesses make internet provider decisions based on reliability, speed, and cost. The full research report including details on each question can be found in Attachment 1. BeHeard Boulder The Community Broadband project page on BeHeard Boulder aimed to update the community on project status while gathering preferences from constituents on the issue before Council. Engagement was low and may not reflect the opinions of the broader community. Feedback indicated that some people prefer emulating the Longmont and Fort Collins model (municipal internet utility) while others expressed support for a public private partnership model. Affordable and competitive pricing was a priority for many respondents, and some expressed doubt about the city's ability to provide the service. Manufactured Home Community Discussions In July and August 2023, city staff met with representatives of all five of the city’s mobile/manufactured home communities (Boulder Meadows, Mapleton, Orchard Grove, Ponderosa, and Vista Village). Representatives included owners, property managers, and current residents. Direct outreach was conducted after analysis demonstrated the only non-wired internet access for residential service in the city was in a mobile home community. These properties, ranging in size from approximately 60 to 650, presented various challenges with the current internet landscape. Four of the five properties are 100% served by Comcast and/or Lumen while one is mostly served by wireless providers. The approximately 250 residences not served by Comcast and/or Lumen are in one community and are the only residences in the city unserved by wire-internet at 250/25 Mbps. Property owner permission is required for Comcast and/or Lumen to bring internet service to residences within a manufactured home community. Affordability is the main challenge for every community with annual price fluctuations highlighted as a major issue for those living on a fixed income. While many residents qualify for the ACP due to household income, many do not. Poor customer service and Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 8 Packet Page 11 of 1201 9 convoluted marketing were also major complaints of residents, particularly from elderly community members. Additionally, multiple communities expressed concern over increased physical security threats and how the presence of security cameras with appropriate data connection not currently available could act as a deterrence (notes: staff did not validate claims of increased crime in these areas; it is widely accepted that the presence of security cameras does act as a deterrent to some types of crime). All the communities expressed a willingness to, in theory, bring additional infrastructure on site to serve their residents, provided it was at no cost to home- or land- owners. Incumbent Internet Service Provider Discussions Incumbent small-business and residential wired-internet providers operating in the city, Comcast and Lumen, are critical partners in the pursuit of our Community Broadband objectives. Strong relationships with both providers are and will continue to be a cornerstone of Community Broadband. In August 2023, staff met with representatives from both companies to share additional information related to the goals of creating citywide fiber-based and affordable internet for all. Comcast, the provider with the most customers in the city as of August 2023, continues to invest in its already robust cable-based internet network in the city. Comcast’s investments are focused on improving the ways their existing infrastructure can handle the demands of more data transfer. They also continue to provide bundled services for wired phone, cable TV, and home security services. Furthermore, Comcast’s Internet Essentials program, now in its 12th year, provides low-cost internet to income qualified customers – in many cases, customers can leverage ACP funding to receive service at no cost. Lumen, or “CenturyLink”, has constructed a fiber network that is available to approximately a third of Boulder residents and small businesses. They have documented plans to invest in an expansion of this network to serve additional premises, but those plans are currently unfunded. Lumen, too, participates in the ACP program and delivers a service to income qualified customers that is effectively free of charge when the customer leverages the ACP. Financial Analysis Via amendment to a contract originally awarded in 2014, in the summer of 2023 the city worked with an independent consulting firm, CTC Energy and Technology, to provide updated capital estimates and analysis of expected revenues and expenses for a municipal internet utility. While the city provided inputs to some of the assumptions below, the “market-based” assumptions and the financial modeling are the sole work of CTC based on their broad expertise in the global fiber-based broadband market. The resulting forecasts that this analysis is based on are, of course, forecasts and may be influenced by unforeseen changes in the market. A summary of CTC’s modeling is in Attachment 2. The assumptions in the analysis are based on current industry practice and include: •43,634 “passings” (homes and businesses), with 8% qualifying for a low-income Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 9 Packet Page 12 of 1201 10 federal subsidy; •40% “take-rate" (percentage of total serviced premises that pay for the service) 6- years after construction is complete; •Construction costs based on current Boulder costs for the backbone and industry standards, escalated for construction in 2024 – 2026 and assuming 10% contingency; o Assumes 100% underground conduit construction and uses city conduit where existing. •Operational costs based on similarly sized municipal operations and a combination of city staff and contracted services; •Interest rate of 5% for debt service on 25-year term bond; •Average revenue generated per month from for residential and business customers at $70, $30/month for income qualified customers, and a $50 one-time connection fee; •Price assumptions are aligned with the current market and with the Boulder resident survey that is summarized in the Resident Survey and Business Focus Groups section of this memo. Capital Investment Estimate There are significant capital expenses to connect homes and businesses to the existing city-owned fiber backbone. In addition to the backbone capital costs that City Council approved in 2018, the capital investment to bring fiber to premises is currently estimated to be $217.7M in 2023 dollars. $217.7M would construct approximately 325 miles of underground conduit to homes and businesses. Figure 1 illustrates a notional core design that would enable the passing of 100% of premises in the city, enabling accessibility for all. The $217.7M capital estimate assumes 40% of these premises take service and drops are constructed. If 100% of homes take service additional capital costs would be incurred for the additional drops raising the total cost to $274.0M in 2023 dollars. Details regarding the assumptions and construction rates used to calculate the capital estimates are provided in Attachment 2. While the capital cost estimate is $217.7M, considering inflation over 5 years of construction, cashflow shortfalls during construction, financing fees, and required reserves, the total amout of debt the city Figure 1 Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 10 Packet Page 13 of 1201 11 would need to issue is estimated at $295.2M. For the purposes of this memo’s analysis when referring to the capital required, $295.2M will be used. Capital Financing Options Considering the capital need, staff consulted with the city’s financial advisors at Hilltop Securities, and bond counsel, Kutak Rock, in outlining the capital financing options. As of December 31, 2022, the city has a total of $256.21M in outstanding debt including the following: •$6.57M General Obligation Bonds ($10M initially issued) •$48.35M Certificates of Participation ($61M initially issued) •$43.39M other debt supported by base rentals ($61.23M initially issued) •$18.66M other debt liabilities •$139.24M Revenue Bonds supported by water and sewer revenue ($178.89 initially issued) The voters have also authorized the city to issue an additional $192.7M for the following purposes: •Climate Initiatives - $59.2M in authorized Par •Capital investments including facilities through the Community, Culture, Resilience and Safety Tax (CCRS) - $110M in authorized Par •Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) - $23.5M in authorized Par There are two potentially viable financing option for the $295.2M capital required: •Issue General obligation bond secured by current General Fund revenue sources. While this is potentially viable, it would require significant community conversation and entail tough funding trade-off discussions and decisions as other current general fund services would have to be reduced. •Securing voter approval for a general obligation bond supported by a new increment of tax. This option would require both a tax increase to be approved by Boulder voters and the municipal internet utility to be identified by Council as the highest priority for a new tax initiative. Several other financing paths were explored and determined not to be viable, including: •Utilizing the existing water / wastewater utility enterprise fund and pledging water / wastewater utility rates. This path is not viable due to existing bond covenants and the level of outstanding debt, including planned debt issuance in late 2023 and 2024. Advisors also noted that while communities have leveraged a municipal electric utility for an internet utility, they were not aware of an instance where a water utility was used. •Issuing voter approved general obligation debt to fund construction and when the internet utility is sufficiently operational creating a broadband enterprise fund and issuing enterprise bonds to retire the general obligation debt. The city has enterprise funds, like water and wastewater utilities, that Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 11 Packet Page 14 of 1201 12 operate under different municipal finance rules based on the fund being self- supporting through service fees and, importantly, having less than 10 percent tax support. This option is dependent on the internet utility qualifying as an enterprise and, according to the modeling, it would not because it would require significant tax support. Thus, this option is not viable. •Issuing Certificates of Participation. This is the method used to fund the broadband backbone and is a financing mechanism based on pledging existing city assets, typically buildings. However, with the significant capital costs expected with a municipal internet utility, there are not enough city assets to create the size loan that the city would need. If the city determines it wants to own part or all the middle- and last-mile fiber infrastructure, then the city’s Finance Team, City Attorney’s Office, and bond counsel will need further study on the viable financing options. Operational Revenue and Expense Analysis To estimate revenue for a municipal internet utility, take rate and pricing are the two most important factors. An optimistic take rate of 40% was used as the base case for this analysis given the factor of two incumbent providers. CTC also used industry-standard pricing to create revenue projections: •$70/month for homes and businesses •$30/month for low-income households •$50 one-time connection fee The statistically valid resident survey that was completed as part of this analysis supports residential rates of $60-80/month11. Revenue projections reflect a multi-year build of the full network and acquiring customers as the build is completed in their neighborhoods. It is estimated that it would take six years to reach the assumed 40% take rate. At the six-year maturity mark, revenues are estimated at $18M. Revenue growth then stabilizes assuming a flat take rate of 40% and only increases reflecting an annual inflation factor of 3%. Revenues are reflected in Figure 2 below. 11 See Attachment 1 for more details on price sensitivity. Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 12 Packet Page 15 of 1201 13 Figure 2 Operational expenses include all the costs to run the internet utility: staff, contractor costs, equipment, maintenance of the network, insurance, and more. At year 6 (when take rate is assumed to reach 40%) operational costs, not including debt service, are approximately $8M/year and then increase over time reflecting inflation. Expenses are modeled in Figure 3 below.

The average annual debt payment is $23.9M. This, in addition to the operating expenses detailed in Figure 3, are combined in Figure 4, below, to illustrate the total cash outlay annually. Figure 4 Combining the operational expenses ($8M/year) and debt service ($23.9M/year) there is a total of $32.5M expenses per year. With revenues generating $18M annually, a shortfall is observed. This shortfall remains throughout the term of the debt and only at its full payment does the city recognize a surplus. During the term of the debt the shortfall averages $16.5M annually and ranges from $10M - $22M depending on revenue and operating expense assumptions. These shortfalls are shown in Figure 5 below. Figure 5 The amount of revenue that could reasonably be generated by a municipal internet utility in Boulder is not enough to cover all the operational costs and the entire debt service. Thus, Boulder taxpayers would bear the burden of nearly $10M to $22M a year subsidy (depending on annual broadband cashflows) in addition to paying market-rate prices for a municipal internet service. -$30M -$20M -$10M $0M $10M $20M $30M 20242025202620272028202920302031203220332034203520362037203820392040204120422043204420452046204720482049205020512052 Cash flow surplus/shortfall Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 14 Packet Page 17 of 1201 15 This is not viable for the city for several reasons including the high costs to boring underground conduit in Boulder, lack of economies of scale for construction materials and human resources, and the number of homes and businesses available to generate revenue for the utility. If the city is willing to employ shallow trenching construction (detailed in the Construction Analysis below) for the secondary distribution routes and drop access to premises, it is estimated the capital burden would be $18M less. However, for the purposes of this financial analysis, that reduction in capital burden would not eliminate the annual cashflow shortfall during the term of the debt. Partnership Interest Analysis The city issued a Request for Information (RFI) to the broadband community to gauge the interest of for-profit and nonprofit entities in forming a partnership with the city to make Gigabit-class bandwidth available to all Boulder homes and businesses. The city received eight RFI responses from a variety of internet service providers, investors, and open-access technology providers. Staff interviewed a subset of the respondents, based on the quality and relevance of their proposal, to understand their intent more fully. There were three main approaches proposed by the industry: A.City-owned, partner-operated: This model leverages the industry’s expertise in operating internet service organizations, though all the capital financing is generated by the city. City ownership of the entire network has benefits, including more leverage in negotiating expected outcomes for the internet service’s quality, price, and access. It also provides the control for the city to build to every premise ensuring fiber access to all. B.Shared ownership, partner-operated: This model utilizes the low cost of government financing to create shared ownership via the city and partner. Both contribute financially to the network construction and then the partner operates the internet service, leveraging its expertise. C.Partner-owned, partner-operated: This is a common approach as the private market looks for ways to enter new markets. The partner finances the capital costs and owns all the infrastructure (aside from the backbone, which the city will continue to own) and only seeks city assistance in right-of-way permitting. The city has some negotiation leverage to ensure Community Broadband objectives are achieved by offering lease-based access to the city-owned fiber assets. These include but are not limited to the newly constructed 432-strand dark fiber backbone and the adjacent empty conduit capable of fitting an additional 432- strand backbone. The matrix of options in the next section further summarizes the attributes, benefits, and weaknesses to each of the models. Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 15 Packet Page 18 of 1201 16 Construction Analysis Section 9.21 of the city’s Design and Construction Standard outlines telecommunication construction standards. It dictates that the minimum depth of cover of telecommunications conduit shall be 30 inches. While the city’s backbone conduit was bored at a minimum depth 30 inches, compliant with this standard, all the potential partners offering to bring private capital would seek a different construction method for them to realize the return on investment required. This alternative construction method is known as shallow- or micro- trenching. While staff is not requesting Council action on this item at this time, it is important to know that given the opportunity to negotiate a backbone lease & right-of-way agreement with a partner, staff would consider the partner’s desired construction methods and balance those with the high standards for construction in our right-of-way. Any proposed changes to the Design and Construction Standard would be brought forward to Council for ultimate approval. A whitepaper by the Fiber Broadband Association dated March 202312 provides an overview of shallow trenching as it relates to other conduit construction methods and how it is a key ingredient in achieving 100% broadband access in the United States. Additional staff research into the viability of shallow trenching in Boulder is required. 12 https://fiberbroadband.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Microtrenching-Accelerates-Fiber.pdf Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 16 Packet Page 19 of 1201 17 MATRIX OF OPTIONS As detailed in the Executive Summary, three models are presented: Municipalized Internet Utility Public-Private Partnership Backbone Lease & Right- Of-Way Agreement Description of Approach Backbone Infrastructure Owner City City City Middle- and Last- Mile Infrastructure Owner City Shared Partner Service Provider City Partner Partner Partner Relationship N/A Revenue sharing; Policy objectives negotiated Policy objectives and/or fees negotiated for use of existing city-owned assets.

And should we? Doing so requires careful consideration of the balance between achieving Community Broadband objectives, cost, control, and risk. Based on the research presented in this memo, staff will, at a future meeting, recommend that the Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate a backbone lease and right-of- way agreement with a partner who fully owns the middle- and last- mile infrastructure and operates the internet service and pays lease payments in exchange for rights to use existing city-owned fiber assets. NEXT STEPS Pending Council’s feedback, additional data needs, and general alignment with staff’s recommendation: •Staff to complete additional data requests, as needed; •Schedule a Public Hearing for Council to vote on a proposed motion to authorize the City Manager to negotiate an agreement with a partner to deliver on the Community Broadband objectives. ATTACHMENTS Attachment 1 – 2023 Boulder Internet Demand Study, BBC Research & Consulting Attachment 2 – Summary Report: FTTP Cost Estimate and Financial Model, CTC Energy & Technology APPENDIX 1 – BACKBONE CONSTRUCTION UPDATE In 2023, even with challenging winter and spring weather impacting daily production in the field, progress on the city’s fiber backbone was positive. At the end of 2022, production of the total project was at 74%. Since then, it has moved up to 86% with progress in our very rock-prone areas of phases 5 and 6 (Canyon and Table Mesa rings). Our goal remains to complete all backbone construction by late Fall 2023 and current production rates put us on track to achieve that. Approximately 33,000 ft of backbone bore work and conduit placement remain. In addition to backbone construction, we have completed lateral construction to eleven new sites where all fiber work has also been completed and include city facilities, public safety, and community partner sites. With some previously connected radio tower sites and buildings, the project supports live circuits (or connectivity) to nine locations with several more coming onboard in the summer months. All fiber work, deployment, splicing and testing related to phases 1-4 and 7 (North Broadway, Iris, Downtown, Arapahoe, and Diagonal rings) have been completed and the city’s traffic signal connections will be terminated and tested during August and September. Once complete, the fiber backbone will connect to a total of 112 traffic signals.

There [are] definitely periods of time where we've lost service altogether. It can be as much as one or two times a day that we lose it for a few minutes here and there, so I also now have an additional hotspot service as backup.”“We have one to two, if not three daily outages.”“We use more upstream bandwidth than we do downstream, and that's very typical for many business types, and it is beyond infuriating. …We can't get a faster upstream at the location that we're at.”“There are maybe 10 people in the company that know what they're doing, but otherwise, until you can get to them, it's ridiculous.”“If there's an outage with Comcast or [Lumen], good luck. It may be an hour or two before you found out, even if you happen to even find out what's going on.”•Connectivity can be unreliable, especially in certain areas of the city.•There is often a disparity between upload and download speeds.•Customer service is lacking.11Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 29Attachment 1 - 2023 Boulder Internet Demand Study Packet Page 32 of 1201 DESIRABILITY OF CITY SERVICES•Almost all business representatives supported the concept of City-providedInternet services but not necessarily City-operated Internet services.“I like competition, but competition also has to be comparable competition. So we can't just say that we have five Internet service providers, but only one of those providers is doing an adequate job of meeting our needs.”“[The City] can't mess this up because if [they do], not only are people's lives going to be impacted because people rely on the internet, but as residents, we going forward won't be able to trust [the City] with some of the bigger asks that [they’re] asking for in terms of municipalization."•Boulder businesses are eager to have additional service options as long as they are reliable.•Internet service is crucial to both residents and businesses, making the success of the project paramount.“Municipal broadband [would] drive the incumbent carriers to be much, much better … . You won’t see Comcast and Lumen leave the area, because they hate to see that as a success story for community broadband. So, they'll improve their service levels, they'll become more competitive in price.”12Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 30Attachment 1 - 2023 Boulder Internet Demand Study Packet Page 33 of 1201 CONCERNS ABOUT CITY SERVICES•Although almost all participantssupported a City-provided option,several businesses indicated that theydo not trust the City to effectivelyoperate an Internet utility itself.•Some participants cited the City’s pastattempt to municipalize an electricutility as a reason for their skepticism.“I just don't think the City is in a position to pull that off or run any kind of … Internet kind of company. The City is barely keeping it together with all the stuff that a city is supposed to provide.” “I just have absolutely zero faith in the City being able to pull this off.” “The City really needs to get their act together and make sure that this is something that they can pull off and do. They have competent people in charge, [but] they don't turn it into another Boulder Building Department.”“[Boulder] hasn't demonstrated a lot of competency with some of their municipal services.”“I hope this thing goes better than the electric utility that Boulder thought they were going to put together.”13Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 31Attachment 1 - 2023 Boulder Internet Demand Study Packet Page 34 of 1201 PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS•Some business representatives are also skeptical of the City entering into a partnership with a third party. Various reasons include:A perception that existing problems with existing providers would not be solved;Skepticism around profit incentives for private partners (although some see such incentives as a good thing); andThe City’s loss of control over pricing and service quality“I would be concerned about partnering … it would be too easy to invite all the problems that the Internet currently has.” “I don't see any great benefit to going to the people that [they’re] going to compete against, ask them to come in so they can make more money. I would rather not do it than line the pockets of a Lumen or a Comcast.”“I think the incentives are better aligned when it's a private company that's managing it. They have a financial incentive. They have a, ‘We're going to lose customers,’ incentive in a way that the government just doesn’t.”“If the City has made the major capital investment, I'm not sure that the solution now is to turn it over to some third party to implement it.”“That loss of control can be pretty significant to the end user, in terms of the accountability, the level of service, … and what the actual government is going to be able to hold people accountable to.”14Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 32Attachment 1 - 2023 Boulder Internet Demand Study Packet Page 35 of 1201 PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS•Some business representatives suggested that the City enter into an impermanent partnership with an existing provider, eventually taking full control of Internet operations itself.“I would be open to a tiered approach of giving the City parameters that they must meet by a certain deadline. So if they haven't met those parameters then the fallback is we have a third party come in and take it over.”“You could get a company, but just on a, ‘Okay, make us great, make us a wonderful system, give us the knowledge, and we're paying you to come and service and help us through.’ And then that should be dropping off.”•Some business representatives think the City does not have the expertise to operate an Internet utility without the assistance of a third-party partner.“I think it should be left with entities that have a history, and they know how to do it and there's a little bit of competition perhaps. Yeah, I would be concerned about the level of service, honestly, having worked with the City on other things.”“[We need] a larger business who's done this multiple times and has that scale capacity and can bring in savings as a result of that scale.”15Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 33Attachment 1 - 2023 Boulder Internet Demand Study Packet Page 36 of 1201 LONGMONT INTERNET•Unprompted, participants in each focus group cited Longmont’s municipal Internet as an exemplary way to operate services.“I would say that Longmont might prove the case that it's possible to run a utility scale internet service in a good way.”“We've got some clients in Longmont that use Longmont's fiber, and it's been great. They do a great job.” “We have an example of[an Internet utility] being well run and well managed nine miles away. I really think that we should look to our neighbors to see how it has worked for them.” “We've got a sister city in Longmont that's doing it, let's go talk to them”“Let's go to Longmont, and say, ‘Can you double your staff, or triple your staff? And can you run our broadband facility?’ It doesn't have to be the City of Boulder.”•Business representatives suggest consulting with or partnering with the City of Longmont.16Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 34Attachment 1 - 2023 Boulder Internet Demand Study Packet Page 37 of 1201 EQUITY IN INTERNET SERVICES•Unprompted, severalbusinesses indicated thatequity in Internet access acrossBoulder is a priority for them.“I would be interested in the City putting its money, my money, into universal access on a sliding scale. I don't need my rate to come down, but it does bother me that there are families and individuals in my town who can't afford Internet access … .“It needs to be something that everybody can afford. And it shouldn't be something that's a privileged offering.” “The social component is huge, and I just mention it as a marketing tool or a messaging tool for how to get this across. I think that this group is likely willing to pay the same, if not more, slightly more, for similar services if it were accessible to all. So as far as getting this by voters or getting people behind this thing, I would really, really look at the social component as a necessary piece of the communication.” •Many business representativesthink the City is best positioned toadvocate for equity in providingInternet services in Boulder.“I think that the only way we can get to some of our stated goals of equity is if the City runs it. We don't have any power to tell Comcast or Lumen to make broadband accessible to our low-income residents.”17Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 35Attachment 1 - 2023 Boulder Internet Demand Study Packet Page 38 of 1201 DEMAND FOR CITY SERVICES •Most business representatives indicated they would switch to City-provided services.“I would definitely be an early adopter if the City decided to run their own broadband right now.”“We'd probably try it right away.”•The City’s choice to operate Internet services itself or with a third-party partner does not seem to have a substantial effect on demand.•Some participants would want redundancy with their current providers in the early stages of getting City-provided services.“ … were we to make the transition, we would need to … have both services [Comcast and City-provided] available for a period of time, because I also talk a mean game about my mistrust of both contractors and Boulder government's ability to do something well.”“I like the idea of … redundancy. I think that … would make me feel safe, while I'm still supporting this very much needed infrastructure.”18Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 36Attachment 1 - 2023 Boulder Internet Demand Study Packet Page 39 of 1201 PUBLIC FUNDING OPTION•Participant support for additional public funding options is mixed and largely contingent on the structure of the funding mechanism.“Sure, raise taxes on the businesses that are going to benefit from it. I can look at the cost of one single four-hour outage every three months, which is about typical for our Boulder location. … I think that the financial burden … businesses could shoulder a lot of that burden and it would benefit everybody.”“I want [a public funding mechanism] to be based more on people living here versus the companies. … And I think with the prevalence of working from home and the lifestyle in Boulder … this is more for serving the people than the businesses, per se.”•Some business representatives do not think additional public funding is necessary.“It shouldn't be a broader taxpayer charge, unless you choose to do things like equitably allow minimum levels of service for reduced or $0 … .”“I would question if you don't have to have a profit, if the infrastructure is already there, why would the City not be able to run this [without additional public funding?”19Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 37Attachment 1 - 2023 Boulder Internet Demand Study Packet Page 40 of 1201 RESIDENT SURVEYSItem 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 38Attachment 1 - 2023 Boulder Internet Demand Study Packet Page 41 of 1201 METHODOLOGY•Online surveys with households across Boulder•417 demographically representative participants, per U.S. Census data•Survey topics included current Internet services, service usage, service needs and gaps, perceptions of current providers, demand for City-provided services, and price sensitivity (see Appendix B)•Results shown overall and separately by satisfaction with current services (select questions)•Results weighted by participant age*21* BBC used a weight of 0.60 for participants 35 years of age and older and a weight of 0.40 for participants between the ages of 18 and 34.

My name is Stephanie Ayers – I am a Senior Project Manager with BBC Research & Consulting. BBC is a 53-year-old research firm located in Denver. We specialize in leading discussions like this one about different issues related to consumer and business insights. BBC is working with the City of Boulder to explore options for delivering broadband Internet access across Boulder. The City is considering the possibility of partnering with a third-party or establishing a City-operated Internet utility—to provide high-quality, affordable Internet service to Boulder residents and businesses.The City of Boulder has been constructing the foundational infrastructure for fiber internet service, called a "dark fiber backbone", which will be completed this year. With the backbone in place, Boulder can either partner with a third-party to finish construction of the fiber infrastructure and provide internet service, or Boulder can do so on its own as a new municipal internet utility. Boulder is currently in the process of assessing these options, and your input today is valuable to their assessment.You were invited to participate in this focus group because you represent businesses that work in the marketplace, and we want to hear your perspectives and thoughts regarding Internet services in the City of Boulder as well as your needs and priorities as they relate to broadband Internet access, cost, and quality. Our goal is to engage you in a free-flowing discussion about those topics. We want you to be respectful of one another’s ideas, but please feel free to share whatever is on your mind.Today’s discussion will last about 90 minutes, and we’re committed to ending on time. We will record this session to accurately capture your thoughts. Unless anyone has any questions, let’s get started!37Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 55Attachment 1 - 2023 Boulder Internet Demand Study Packet Page 58 of 1201 Warm Up (5 minutes)Let’s go around and introduce ourselves. Please briefly tell us:Your name and the business you represent; andA little about your business: what type of work you do and how your business currently uses the Internet. Factors for Choosing an Internet Provider (10 minutes)Let’s begin by discussing the Internet options that exist in Boulder, primarily Comcast/Xfinity and Century Link, which is now known as Lumen, and what factors influenced your business’ decisions regarding your Internet provider.What Internet service provider does your business currently use? Does your Internet package also include other services, such as phone service or cable TV?-If your Internet package does include other services, are these other services valuable to your business? Did bundling these services ultimately reduce the cost of these services to your business?What factors led your business to choose the Internet provider that it did?Did Internet access or service options factor into determining where to locate your business? If so, how?38Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 56Attachment 1 - 2023 Boulder Internet Demand Study Packet Page 59 of 1201 39Internet Service Needs and Gaps in Service Delivery (15 minutes)Let’s talk more specifically about what your business’ needs are as they relate to Internet service, and where you may see gaps in service with your current provider.How much does your business use the Internet on an average workday? How important is quality Internet service to the success of your business? Does your business have remote employees? If so, do they connect to a company server from their location?How well does your current service provider meet your businesses’ needs? Are there any gaps between your business’ Internet needs and your current service?-Does your business use the Internet for anything that requires certain speeds or bandwidth, such as video conferencing?-Does your business deal with sensitive information that requires advanced server security?-Are there any challenges specific to your industry as it relates to Internet access?Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 57Attachment 1 - 2023 Boulder Internet Demand Study Packet Page 60 of 1201 40Perceptions of Current Internet Options (15 minutes)How well does your current service provider meet your businesses’ needs? Are there any gaps between your business’ Internet needs and your current service?Would you characterize the predominant Internet providers available in Boulder, meaning Comcast/Xfinity and CenturyLink/Lumen, as generally positive, neutral, or negative? Why?Are you satisfied with the service you receive from your current Internet service provider?-Speed?-Price?-Reliability?-Customer service/support?-Other factors? Do you think there is a need for additional Internet providers in the City of Boulder?Priorities in Internet Service Qualities (15 minutes)Now let’s discuss where your priorities fall when considering Internet service qualities. Considering cost, Internet speed or bandwidth, reliability, cybersecurity, and customer service/support, I’d like you to rank these qualities of Internet service in terms of highest to lowest priorities for your business’ Internet service. Please share how you ranked these qualities and why.Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 58Attachment 1 - 2023 Boulder Internet Demand Study Packet Page 61 of 1201 41City-operated Internet Utility (25 minutes) We’ve talked a lot about how your businesses use the Internet and what your needs and priorities are when it comes to choosing an Internet provider. Now we’d like to talk about the possibility of the city creating its own municipal Internet utility. Creating a municipal Internet utility would mean that it operates like Boulder's water utilities and the City would carry all the capital and operational expenses associated with constructing the infrastructure and delivering Internet service. This likely means the City would have to raise taxes to pay for it.[Fiber optic internet is a type of Broadband transmitted over fiber‐optic cables, offering fast, reliable service.]First, what are your overall perceptions of fiberoptic Internet services? Do you think fiberoptic Internet would better meet your business’ needs? Why or why not?What are your thoughts about the City of Boulder establishing its own City-operated Internet utility?-What do you think the benefits would be?-What do you think the disadvantages would be? What are your concerns?Do you think the City of Boulder is qualified to operate its own Internet utility? Why or why not? What might it take to make you feel more comfortable with it?What are your thoughts about the City partnering with an existing Internet provider to offer Internet service? How valuable would it be for the City to work with an existing provider that already has the expertise to conduct Internet service operations?-What do you think the benefits would be?-What do you think the disadvantages would be? What are your concerns?Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 59Attachment 1 - 2023 Boulder Internet Demand Study Packet Page 62 of 1201 42If the City launched a City-operated Internet utility option, how likely would you be to switch from your current provider to the City-operated option?-What factors would influence your decision?-What would be the barriers to switching providers?-Would the City’s decision on whether to partner with an existing Internet provider factor into your decision in any way?If you reside within the city of Boulder, would you vote for a public funding option, such as an increase in sales tax, property tax bond that would include an increase in sales tax to help fund a City-operated Internet utility option? Why or why not?Concluding Questions (5 minutes)Do you have any other thoughts on Internet service options in Boulder?Do you have any other insights or comments pertaining to the City of Boulder’s decision on whether to operate the utility independently or whether to partner with a third-party organization?What can the City of Boulder do to address any concerns that businesses have regarding a City-operated Internet utility?Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 60Attachment 1 - 2023 Boulder Internet Demand Study Packet Page 63 of 1201 APPENDIX B: SURVEY INSTRUMENTItem 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 61Attachment 1 - 2023 Boulder Internet Demand Study Packet Page 64 of 1201 442023 BOULDER INTERNET DEMAND SURVEYThank you for agreeing to participate in the City of Boulder’s (the City’s) Community Broadband Internet Survey.

The estimate in this report is a fresh cost estimate reflecting market and cost conditions in 2023, as well as updated information provided by the City. The financial analysis was done anew, using an updated financial model incorporating new data points and following City direction during the engagement. In addition to this report summary, the complete deliverable from CTC and its consulting partner, Rebel, includes the following: • Cost estimation details provided as a separate slide deck by CTC • A financial model provided separately as an Excel workbook by Rebel Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 81 Attachment 2 - Summary Report FTTP Cost Esimate and Financial Model Packet Page 84 of 1201 Updated FTTP Cost Estimate and Financial Model | August 2023 2 2 Constructing an underground FTTP network to reach all residences and businesses in Boulder would cost ~$218 million in 2023 dollars An underground fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) distribution network passing 43,634 residences and businesses in Boulder—comprised of 324.8 route miles and using existing City conduit where feasible (approximately 58.4 miles)—would cost an estimated $218 million in 2023 dollars (or $242 million in nominal/year-of-expenditure dollars1), which includes a 10 percent contingency. This estimate assumes that the network assets already built by the City are made available. This estimate assumes underground construction only, as requested by the City, as well as a 40 percent take-rate (that is, the percentage of households or businesses choosing to take service). It is necessary to choose a take-rate to develop a capital cost estimate because capital costs include installing connections (also known as drops) from the street to the premises and activating service. The total figure therefore varies by the number of subscribers. If the City were to build drops to all premises, the total cost would rise to $274 million in 2023 dollars (or $308 million in nominal/year-of-expenditure dollars). The table below summarizes the cost estimate described above, using 2023 dollars.

Operating expenses are a function of time and are included in the financial model, which was also provided as a separate deliverable. Operating expenditure assumptions—such as staffing levels, salaries, and non-labor operating expenses—are also provided in Section 3 of this report. 2.1 Comparison to an earlier estimate Between 2016 and 2018, CTC developed several FTTP cost estimates and analyses for the City of Boulder under a variety of assumptions and scenarios. One of those efforts, provided in a report dated April 2018, produced an estimate of $117 million to $140 million for constructing a 100 percent underground lit network using a 35 percent take-rate. (The upper end of this range reflects a 20 percent contingency.) The table below reflects that estimate. This is provided here as a frame of reference for the new cost estimate. Table 2: FTTP cost estimate provided in 2018 report with 100% underground and 35% take-rate Cost Component Total Estimated Cost Dark FTTP OSP $69 million – $83 million Central Network Electronics $7 million – $8 million FTTP Service Drop and Lateral Installations $30 million – $36 million Customer Premise Equipment $11 million – $13 million Total Estimated Cost $117 million – $140 million The difference between the two cost estimates can be attributed to several factors including the following: Inflation: Since 2017, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index, inflation has driven prices up by nearly 25 percent. This obviously impacts materials and labor costs. As an additional consideration, significant public funding of broadband has increased demand for relevant labor and materials nationwide. These programs include: • Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act broadband funding • American Rescue Plan Act funding for broadband (specifically, Treasury State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds and the Capital Projects Fund) • Deployments resulting from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) • NTIA’s Broadband Infrastructure Program, Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program, and Enabling Middle Mile Grant Program Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 83 Attachment 2 - Summary Report FTTP Cost Esimate and Financial Model Packet Page 86 of 1201 Updated FTTP Cost Estimate and Financial Model | August 2023 4 Hard rock: In the earlier estimate the City directed that it would appropriate to assume that 5 percent of the construction would encounter hard rock, driving up construction costs. The 5 percent figure was used in producing the estimate provided in 2018. In the new estimate, the consulting team used 45 percent, based on numbers provided to CTC in recent weeks by the City. The new percentage reflects the City’s actual experience encountering hard rock in the backbone buildout in Boulder. Take-rate: The new estimate uses a 40 percent take-rate, which entails additional costs for drops and customer premises equipment. (The estimate in the 2018 report used a 35 percent take- rate.) The 40 percent figure was used because it is in line with what has been achieved elsewhere in the United States, and thus forms an element of our “base case” described below. Permit issuance, reviews, and inspections: The City will need permitting and inspection staffing that can provide oversight for a multi-year buildout of more than 300 miles of fiber. The current estimate includes a $5.2 million line-item for City construction oversight, an internal City cost not included in the prior estimate.

This subsidy could be structured either as an upfront or ongoing contribution. The remainder of this section assumes that the City will issue debt to finance the project and analyzes how much annual operational subsidy would be required on average during the debt repayment period to absorb any cash flow shortfalls. To do so, we first analyze the cash flow shortfalls (and therefore the required subsidy) under a “base case” scenario (explained in Section 3.1). Next, we review how the cash flow shortfall would change in other scenarios. Determining financial feasibility involves evaluating numerous variables including the capital costs described above, ongoing operating costs, take-rates (that is, the percentage of potential customers who actually choose to take service), pricing, project term, and interest rates. This section summarizes several scenarios and how they would impact the required subsidy. Given the uncertainty underlying each of the inputs, the calculated average cash flow shortfalls and subsidy amounts should be considered order-of-magnitude estimates, which can be used to help understand relative differences between scenarios. 3.1 Under the base case using relatively conservative assumptions, chiefly that 40% of premises subscribe and that subscribers pay an average of $70 per month, the project would require an annual subsidy of ~$16.5 million over a 20-year period If the project achieves a take-rate of 40 percent (which has been met in successful comparable projects across the United States) and using the capital expenditure estimates above, there would on average be a $16.5 million annual cash flow shortfall between 2030 and 2049. This shortfall would need to be funded from other sources of revenue to make the project financially feasible. In this report, this scenario is called the base case. The base case includes the following major assumptions. • The cost to construct, inclusive of a 10 percent contingency, is $242 million in nominal/year-of-expenditure dollars as per the cost summary described above. • The average revenue per user (ARPU) is $70 per month for the 90 percent of subscribers who are paying market rates and $30 per month for 10 percent of residential subscribers who are low-income, with prices increasing by 3 percent per year.2 2 The range of services could vary over time. As a frame of reference, $70 is in line with the current monthly cost of 1 Gigabit fiber services in other U.S. cities. Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 85 Attachment 2 - Summary Report FTTP Cost Esimate and Financial Model Packet Page 88 of 1201 Updated FTTP Cost Estimate and Financial Model | August 2023 6 •Operating costs (described in the model and later in this report) are also assumed to increase by 3 percent annually. •The project achieves a take-rate of 40 percent after a five-year ramp-up period from the start of operations in mid-2026. •The City uses debt financing to cover the project’s capital expenditure at a 5 percent interest rate, interest capitalization through end of 2027, and an annuity-style repayment from 2030 through 2050. •The project time horizon includes a five-year construction period and 25 years of operations. Using the above base case assumptions, the following charts show the cash flow implications for the City if it were to operate the project itself. The first chart shows a sample capital expenditure and capital renewal profile, assuming a 40 percent take-rate and 10-year renewal cycle for core network and distribution equipment. Figure 1: Sample capital expenditure and renewal profile The next chart shows a sample build out and adoption profile, assuming a five-year ramp up and a 40 percent long-term steady state take-rate. Furthermore, the base case assumes a 5 percent churn (“churn” refers to the percentage of customers who cancel service each year) which means that to maintain a constant steady state take-rate, new customers need to be added as other cancel service, which explains the continued growth in drops over time.

Figure 3: Sample revenue profile Figure 4 shows a sample O&M profile, which is calculated using three distinct O&M categories, as described in Section 3.

Annual debt service is about $24 million. Figure 5: Sample O&M and debt service profile The final chart shows the net cash flow over the full project period. As can be seen from the chart, the base case scenario requires substantial ongoing subsidies from 2023 through 2049. Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 88 Attachment 2 - Summary Report FTTP Cost Esimate and Financial Model Packet Page 91 of 1201 Updated FTTP Cost Estimate and Financial Model | August 2023 9 Figure 6: Sample net cash flows The positive net cash flow in 2050 is largely caused by the release of the debt service reserve account. The positive net cash flow in 2051 can be explained by the fact that the debt is structured to be fully repaid by the end of 2050, so no debt service is due in that year. Both 2050 and 2051 are not considered in the calculation of average cash flow shortfall. If 2050’s positive cash flow value was to be included in the average annual cash flow shortfall calculation, the average shortfall would drop from $16.5 million to $15.0 million. The fluctuations seen in the net cash flows chart are mostly driven by fluctuations in capital renewal and associated reserve deposits and releases. 3.2 The magnitude of the cash flow shortfalls is highly sensitive to changes in construction costs, average revenue per user, and take-rate Because pricing and take-rate determine revenue, estimates of the required subsidy are highly sensitive to these factors. Changes in capex also significantly affect the required subsidy. Each of these factors will be evaluated in this section. The City has conducted a separate residential survey. It may wish to use the financial model to explore how survey findings—on matters such as willingness to subscribe to a new fiber provider at various price points, and willingness to pay a temporary construction fee (which could provide a source of subsidy funds)—would affect the required subsidy if statements made on a survey were to be realized in the form of future purchasing decisions and fee payments. 3.2.1 Sensitivity to variations in construction cost If costs prove to be 10 percent lower than CTC’s updated base case cost estimate (i.e., no contingency was required), the average annual cash flow shortfalls drop from $16.5 million to $13.5 million. If costs are 10 percent higher than the updated cost estimate provided by CTC (meaning that a 20 percent contingency was required), this would increase the average cash flow Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 89 Attachment 2 - Summary Report FTTP Cost Esimate and Financial Model Packet Page 92 of 1201 Updated FTTP Cost Estimate and Financial Model | August 2023 10 shortfalls to $19.6 million per year. A 30 percent contingency would lead to an average annual shortfall of $22.6 million. Table 3: Capex sensitivity Capital expenditure sensitivity Average shortfall Capex + 0% contingency ($198 million in 2023 dollars) $13.5 million Capex + 10% contingency ($218 million in 2023 dollars) – base case $16.5 million Capex + 20% contingency ($237 million in 2023 dollars) $19.6 million Capex + 30% contingency ($257 million in 2023 dollars) $22.6 million Another way to look at the impact of capital expenditure on financial feasibility is to focus on the project’s fixed cost per passing. Under the base case, the pre-contingency cost per passing is $3,716 (or $4,088 with 10 percent contingency) in 2023 dollars. The table below shows the level of average annual cash flow shortfall for different fixed costs per passings. In this analysis, the fixed cost per passing does not include the drop cost (estimated at $1,250 per drop in 2023 dollars) nor any customer premise equipment (estimated at $633 per drop in 2023 dollars). Table 4: Cost per passing sensitivity Cost per passing sensitivity Average shortfall $2,500 per passing ($2,750 with 10% contingency) $10.1 million $3,000 per passing ($3,300 with 10% contingency) $12.7 million $3,500 per passing ($3,850 with 10% contingency) $15.4 million $3,716 per passing ($4,088 with 10% contingency) – base case $16.5 million $4,000 per passing ($4,400 with 10% contingency) $18.1 million 3.2.2 Sensitivity to variations in pricing If pricing (average revenue per user, or ARPU) is lowered by $10 for all subscribers, the average annual cash flow shortfall would increase to about $20.3 million. Conversely, if ARPU is increased by $10 for all subscribers, the average annual subsidy would fall to approximately $12.8 million. Increasing the ARPU by $20 further reduces the average cash flow shortfall to $9.3 million. Table 5: Pricing sensitivity Pricing sensitivity Average shortfall ARPU of $60 (normal) / $20 (low income) $20.3 million ARPU of $70 (normal) / $30 (low income) – base case $16.5 million ARPU of $80 (normal) / $40 (low income) $12.8 million ARPU of $90 (normal) / $50 (low income) $9.3 million Item 1 - Community Broadband Analysis Page 90 Attachment 2 - Summary Report FTTP Cost Esimate and Financial Model Packet Page 93 of 1201 Updated FTTP Cost Estimate and Financial Model | August 2023 11 3.2.3 Sensitivity to variations in take-rate A more aggressive take-rate assumption of 50 percent would reduce the average annual cash flow shortfall to approximately $13 million, while reducing it to 30 percent would increase the average shortfall to about $20 million. Table 6: Take-rate sensitivity Take-rate sensitivity Average shortfall 30% steady state take-rate $20.0 million 35% steady state take-rate $18.4 million 40% steady state take-rate – base case $16.5 million 45% steady state take-rate $14.6 million 50% steady state take-rate $12.9 million 3.2.4 Sensitivity analysis summary The table below summarizes how changes in pricing, capex contingency, and take-rates affect the required upfront subsidy. Table 7: Capex contingency, pricing and take-rate scenarios and their impacts on required subsidy Scenario/sensitivity Average shortfall Baseline analysis $16.5 million Baseline analysis with 0% capex contingency $13.5 million Baseline analysis with 20% capex contingency $19.6 million Baseline analysis with 30% capex contingency $22.6 million Baseline analysis with $10 lower pricing $20.3 million Baseline analysis with $10 higher pricing $12.7 million Baseline analysis with $20 higher pricing $9.3 million Baseline analysis with 30% steady state take-rate $20.0 million Baseline analysis with 50% steady state take-rate $12.9 million Variations in operating cost assumptions, the length of the operating period, and the interest rate would also influence the upfront subsidy. The model allows the City of Boulder to explore these and other variables and their impact on the financial feasibility of the project.

This section breaks down the inputs, assumptions and calculations used in the development of the opex forecast. Opex in the financial model consists of three categories, broken down further below into discrete line items: 1) Labor costs, 2) parametric non-labor costs, and 3) other non-labor costs. 4.1 Labor costs Labor costs consist of seven fixed staffing categories and three variable staffing categories. The inputs for the fixed and variable staffing levels are based on the project team’s industry expertise and comparable projects. Fixed staffing levels remain the same from the start of operations in Year 2026 onwards whereas variable staffing levels ramp up until Year 2031 and remain steady thereafter. Table 8: Fixed staff FTEs Fixed Staff Category Number of FTEs (Year 2026 Onward) Integrity Manager 1 GIS Analyst 1 Senior IT Specialist 1 IT Specialist 3 Customer Account Rep I 3 Account Clerk I 1 Field Services Technician 1 Total Fixed Staff 12 Table 9: Variable staff FTEs, ramping up through 2031 Variable Staff Category Number of FTEs (Year 2031 Onward) Notes on Variability Customer Account Rep I 10 Based on # subscribers Customer Account Rep II 4 Based on # subscribers Account Clerk II 5 Based on # subscribers Total Variable Staff (Y2031) 19 The number of FTEs for each staff category is multiplied by the salary cost for each category to arrive at total labor costs. In addition to the salary costs, it is assumed that there is an additional 40% labor cost for staff benefits. The table below shows the salary costs for each staffing category with and without the 40% additional benefits.

The parametric input values are based on the project team’s industry expertise and comparable projects. The table below summarizes these opex line items. Table 11: Parametric non-labor opex costs Parametric Non-Labor Opex Category Opex per Unit ($2023) Locates & ticket processing $250 / month / mile outside plant Network equipment maintenance 15% of network equipment cost / year CPE maintenance 1% of CPE cost / year Education & training 2% total labor cost / year Customer billing $0.20 / month / subscriber Bad debt allowance 0.50% of total revenue Commodity internet/bandwidth $250 / Gbps / month All parametric non-labor opex categories are projected to grow at an annual rate of 3 percent. 4.3 Other non-labor costs Other non-labor costs are annual fixed costs and include all remaining opex items. These estimates are also based on the project team’s industry expertise and comparable projects but have been modified where appropriate to meet the specific circumstances of the City.

This process stems from recommendations in policy 6.23 in the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan, increased tensions between the airport community and the broader Boulder community, the need to improve airport facilities, and preparation for a potential future Airport Master Plan Update. The City of Boulder, along with a consultant team, has conducted community conversations with stakeholders and developed a range of long-term scenarios for the future of the airport site. This engagement process and resulting high-level scenario analysis is intended to provide a better understanding of the desired future for BDU for city leadership and City Council. This study is expected to achieve the following: •Understand community goals and aspirations for the airport and/or airport site. •Identify key issues and opportunities for consideration. •Share desired near-term action items. •Develop and evaluate a range of long-term scenarios. •Determine next steps for the airport site. The purpose of this memo and presentation is to provide City Council with an update on the Airport Community Conversation. The project team will use feedback from the study session and will return in early 2024 to present the final report and receive direction on next steps. The memo will share: •Community engagement activities that have occurred thus far. •Community input that informed the draft long-term scenarios and near-term action items. •Community feedback on the draft scenarios and action items. Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 1 Packet Page 117 of 1201 • An evaluation considerations matrix which qualitatively evaluates how well each scenario aligns with the city’s Sustainability, Equity, and Resilience Framework goals. QUESTIONS FOR COUNCIL Transportation and Mobility Department staff request that Boulder City Council offer feedback on the Boulder Airport Community Conversation process. Specific questions include: 1. Do you have questions about the community input or the community feedback that informed the scenarios and action items? 2. How can the project team further refine the scenarios and action items to help inform City Council’s future decision? 3. What further information you would like the project team to gather from the Community Working Group? BACKGROUND The city owns and operates BDU, which is a general aviation airport that offers business, private, and recreational aviation services to the city and surrounding communities and supports emergency aviation services as needed. From January – August 2023, the project team held a variety of community engagement events to better understand the aspirations of impacted stakeholders, residents, and traditionally underserved communities. The community engagement activities and events conducted by the project team are outlined here, and summaries of community input from these activities are provided in the Analysis section and appendices of this memorandum. Schedule of Engagement Events Engagement Opportunity Date/Date Range In-Depth Interviews December 14, 2022 – March 6, 2023 City Council Presentation Thursday, January 12, 2023 Community Working Group (CWG) 1 Tuesday, March 14, 2023 CWG BDU Airport Tour Wednesday, March 15, 2023 Questionnaire 1 April 6 – May 4, 2023 Public Open House 1 Tuesday, April 11, 2023 CWG Lunch Gathering at Airport Wednesday, April 12, 2023 CWG 2 Thursday, April 13, 2023 Vista Village Bilingual Community Meeting Wednesday, April 19, 2023 San Lazaro Bilingual Community Meeting Monday, April 24, 2023 CWG Virtual Gathering Wednesday, May 31, 2023 CWG 3 Thursday, June 7, 2023 Public Open House 2 Tuesday, July 18, 2023 CWG 4 Thursday, July 20, 2023 Questionnaire 2 July 12 – August 2, 2023 In-Depth Interviews In-depth interviews helped the project team understand the key issues and concerns from airport users, community members and both residents and businesses who are near the airport. These interviews served as initial information for the team in organizing the CWG, public open houses and community questionnaires. Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 2 Packet Page 118 of 1201 Public Open Houses The public open houses provided community members the opportunity to share their ideas among one another and with the project team. • Public Open House 1 shared initial input received to date, information about the airport, and requested community input on the future of the airport site. • Public Open House 2 focused on sharing the desired near-term action items, community input and feedback themes and the draft long-term scenarios. Feedback was gathered on all items presented. Public Open Houses in April and July 2023 Online Community Questionnaires • Questionnaire 1 aimed to understand the community desires and ideas for the future of the airport site. There were 775 respondents who reside in the City of Boulder or Boulder County. • Questionnaire 2 aimed to gather feedback on the desired near-term action items and draft long-term scenarios. There were 961 respondents who reside in the City of Boulder or Boulder County. The project team will use this feedback to refine the scenarios before returning to City Council in early 2024. • The questionnaire is an engagement tool for collecting feedback from the public. It is not intended to express a scientific, statistically valid representation of all of the city’s Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 3 Packet Page 119 of 1201 residents. In addition, staff is not interpreting the feedback as “votes” for or against future scenarios. The Be Heard Boulder questionnaire is just one of the tools the city uses to solicit input and the city acknowledges the limitations with this type of questionnaire. Nevertheless, it is a useful engagement tool to help identify trends and potential areas of commonality in the community’s opinions on the subject and as a channel for people to provide anonymous feedback without attending a meeting. Community Working Group (CWG) • The purpose of the CWG is to provide input and recommendations to the project team to support the community conversation effort. The CWG collaborated with the project team to develop a range of scenarios for the future of BDU. The CWG was mindful of FAA grant obligations. • The project team relied on the feedback and experience of the CWG. The CWG membership includes airport neighbors, county residents, pilots, and airport tenants. The CWG also had involvement from multiple city departments as well as liaisons from the Planning Board, the Transportation Advisory Board, and the Housing Advisory Board. The project team has met with the CWG four times since the onset of the project and will meet once more. The CWG provided specific feedback that helped the project team craft the evaluation considerations, refine the near-term action items, and develop the draft scenarios. • In addition to regular CWG meetings, the project team provided additional opportunities for the CWG to meet and discuss the project. These include an airport tour, a group lunch gathering, a virtual conversation session, and virtual office hours with the project manager. The project team intends to host another interim event for the CWG and one additional CWG meeting before returning to City Council in early 2024. CWG Meetings March – July 2023 Bilingual Community Meetings • Two bilingual community meetings were hosted by city staff – one at Vista Village which was English first with Spanish translation and one at San Lazaro which was Spanish first with English translation. These communities are located adjacent to the airport. In order to minimize barriers to participation, the project team hosted a working session that went into the same depth and detail as the CWG meetings to understand the concerns and desires of these communities. • City staff will be hosting two more bilingual community meetings on August 22 and 29, 2023. Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 4 Packet Page 120 of 1201 ANALYSIS The project team has prepared four long-term scenarios below using community input received during the community engagement activities outlined above. The scenarios are broad-stroke concepts reflecting generalized areas for each land use and represent a visual of the community feedback heard throughout the process. Listed below are the four long-term scenarios. Scenario 1: Existing Airport with Enhanced Maintenance Scenario 2: Airport with Aviation Improvements Scenario 3: Airport with Neighborhood Serving Uses and Limited Housing Scenario 4: Decommission Airport and Create New Neighborhood Throughout the engagement process, community members expressed a desire for near-term action items to be identified in addition to the originally scoped long-term scenarios. As such, the project team gathered ideas from community members for near-term action items that would have a likely time frame of 0-5 years and could be implemented independently from actions considered in the long-term scenarios. Figure 1 details how community input was synthesized at each step of the project process to craft both near-term actions and long-term scenarios. Figure 1: Community Input and Feedback Process The project team then evaluated these scenarios based on how they align with city goals, as outlined in the Sustainability, Equity, and Resilience Framework. Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 5 Packet Page 121 of 1201 MATRIX OF OPTIONS This section includes the desired near-term action items, feedback themes and interests received throughout the process, the draft long-term scenarios, and evaluation considerations. These items have been brought up by community members and will need further study. The project team will further assess these items and share refinements including high level cost, political feasibility, and staff effort in early 2024. Community Informed Desired Near-Term Action Items These action items come from direct community input and have not been evaluated for feasibility or cost. In early 2024, the project team will share these near-term action items with City Council and include potential implementation steps for each.

Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 16 Packet Page 132 of 1201 Goals and Evaluation Considerations The project team is comprised of subject matter experts in transportation planning, aviation planning and engagement professionals who utilized their expertise garnered locally and nationally to conduct a preliminary evaluation of the scenarios. The four scenarios were evaluated based on how they align with city values, which are outlined in the Sustainability, Equity, and Resilience Framework. Building on feedback received from the CWG and the broader community, the project team expanded upon the framework to create the evaluation considerations which have been tailored to the Boulder Municipal Airport site. Each scenario was then qualitatively evaluated (anticipated impacts likely to be unfavorable, neutral, favorable) as to whether each scenario actively contributed or detracted from these goals.

In addition to their name, they were asked to share what excites them about the future of Boulder. Participants shared the following: • Innovation • Small city that does big things • Inclusivity and accessibility • Best place to live – keep it that way • The people • Responsibility for the environment • Opportunities for the outdoors • Addressing the missing middle • Keep it weird Breakout 1: Data Deep Dive Breakout goals: Establish a baseline understanding and information about the airport and understand what CWG members would like to learn more about. Discussion question: 1. Is there anything you would like to learn more about? CWG members were presented with baseline airport data. The presenters in this breakout shared airport history and information about the current airport operations. Understanding that it was a lot of material, the presenters asked participants to ask questions and make note of things they would like to learn more about. Attachment 3 - CWG 1 Meeting Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 46 Packet Page 162 of 1201 6 Boulder Municipal Airport Community Conversations Summary of Breakout Discussion and Questions • Can we differentiate airport operations between science, business training, etc? • Do sales taxes charged at the airport stay at the airport? • Desire to learn more about airport contracts and leases. • What percentage of airport land was purchased by the city and what portion was purchased using FAA Grants? • Desire to learn more about the breakdown for airport funding sources. • Has the city council (or just some council members) made a statement on their position on the airport? • Did the FAA introduce a new tiered funding program that uses the number of operations to determine an airport's funding level? If so, when? Does this have a relationship with increased touch and go traffic at area on airports? • One participant noted that they see fewer planes these days, there is a downward trend. • Desire to learn more about FAA grants and CDOT Grants. • Surprise that the airport doesn’t take money from the city general fund. • In response to tenant data and data that shows a decline in airport use, one participant commented that they have been on the waitlist for a hangar for five years. Breakout 2: Community Feedback Discussion Breakout goals: Understand people’s reactions to initial community feedback. Discussion questions: 1. What is important to you? 2. Do you see those values reflected in the community feedback so far? Is anything missing? CWG members were asked to react to initial community feedback. Facilitators wanted to understand what topics high priorities for CWG members are. Members shared similar concerns over noise, environment, alternative use and community relations. Priorities identified by participants: • Trust • Noise • Safety • Environmental – Air Quality, Public Health • Outreach/Inclusion/ Community Involvement • Misunderstanding – clear up character • Demand – Pilot training • Emergency Management Services Attachment 3 - CWG 1 Meeting Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 47 Packet Page 163 of 1201 7 Boulder Municipal Airport Community Conversations • Master Plan Implementation – More hangar space • Methods for data gathering • Community Education • Alternative Uses • Affordable housing Summary of Breakout Discussion and Questions • The state representative over the airport gets a lot of comments about the airport, and they are all about noise. • Outreach in the past has failed to reach Spanish speaking communities. o Residents expressed desire to learn more about outreach efforts to Spanish speaking communities. • Resident expressed surprise that members of the public can get pilot information. They asked: How can people get a pilot’s information? o Pilots shared that people could find them on the FAA site through their tail number. Some pilot’s addresses have been shared by a disgruntled resident. o Residents shared they have the same concerns of privacy and retaliation from airport users and pilots. • One airport user shared that air traffic is set to double in 20 years. They want the airport to be a resource for training and workforce development. • Safety is the number one issue to many airport users. This is in service to the airport and to the surrounding communities. • One person was concerned that affordable housing was on the table. As a nearby resident, they felt that it is not a good alternative for the site and felt that that discussion would lead to a failure of the process. o Another person felt that the issue of affordable housing isn’t prominent enough and any discussion of alternative uses must include affordable housing. • Airport users shared their technical noise committee efforts. They also agree that some pilots follow it, and some don’t. • How do we hold airport users accountable? • One pilot shared that he wants to find better way to get data – sometimes the complaints they get are highly personal and contain no information that will tell them how to fix it. Breakout 3: Community Building Discussion Breakout goals: Identify common high-level goals, talk about the “why” of this engagement process Discussion questions: 1. Why is what’s important to you, important to you? 2. Have you seen programming or community relationships at other airports that you think City of Boulder could emulate? Attachment 3 - CWG 1 Meeting Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 48 Packet Page 164 of 1201 8 Boulder Municipal Airport Community Conversations CWG members discussed values that are important to them. This station conducted conversation to understand alternative perspectives and start to understand similarities and differences. During the source of conversation, the following themes emerged: Align with community values • Airport should be more compatible with what Boulder aspires to be – right now it doesn’t do a good job representing Boulder o Aesthetically – so it’s more appealing to users and visitors o Energy Efficiency – to align with community values • FAA stronghold over the future of the airport – don’t like the lack of local control over a city-owned asset Innovation • Want to see the site/airport used to support the Innovation culture of the area – o Is the airport the highest and best use for an innovation center of the town? o Does the airport possess the opportunity to implement broader city goals of energy and innovation? • Excited about potential for advancements to on-site facilities that could move climate goals forward • Would like to see a STEAM (Science, Tech, Engineering, Arts, Math) learning space at the airport o More opportunities to engage community members, kids in activities at the airport • Support for eco-friendly aviation o Make sure that electric aircraft and tow planes (for gliders) could come to Boulder in the next five years Alternative uses • Affordable Housing as an option at the airport – ethnic and income diversity; doesn’t see Boulder as being very inclusive or as living up to its value of inclusivity • Worried that there are voices missing in the process – potential future residents • Newcomers vs. Incumbents: Often in discussions of building new housing, the people who feel threatened show up and advocate and are heard; however, the people (potential residents) who would benefit from it don’t necessarily know that they would have the opportunity to benefit from it and don’t know to show up to advocate for it so they’re typically not heard from o Want to see opportunities for shared input to guide the future of a public asset • If the airport closes – how does that impact our ability to control our airspace – suggested that without the presence of the airport, all air traffic has free reign over the city • Site has potential for many homes and businesses Attachment 3 - CWG 1 Meeting Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 49 Packet Page 165 of 1201 9 Boulder Municipal Airport Community Conversations o Perception that this is the only place we have left to create “off market” housing o Want future of site to be inclusive and serve a “higher and greater” use than as • “Do we have to sacrifice an airport to address housing?” – is that the right trade-off? • Want to make sure that whatever happens here is connected to the city’s broader plans and goals • Want to introduce multiple uses at the airport to make it more inclusive – right now it feels like an exclusive space. What are other neighborhood serving uses that could align with airport uses? Community relations • Get a better understanding of how the airport can work together with surrounding neighborhoods- how could Boulder be a model for a community approach to managing an airport, a model COMMUNITY AIRPORT • Would like airport users to be better educated on community interests • Would like airport to have a more active presence in the community – it’s a tool for people to obtain a career path • Would like users to better understand the HOAs who are directly impacted • Want to bring the airport to the community and the community to the airport • Are there other airports we can look to regarding successful community relations? Noise • Noise Pollution – is there any technology that can reduce noise pollution • Want to see better data collection for noise issues/complaints Environment and Emissions • Lead pollution and increase of leaded flights – health risks o Hoping to create more dialog around this issue to elevate concerns from community members • Ambivalent about the future of the airport site but want to manage lead exposure to families under flight paths • Would like to see lead/heavy metal survey of neighborhoods under flight paths to understand: o Do we have a lead problem? o Where do we have it? o How can we address/remediate this? o Incentives for low/no lead fuel Airport Closure • What’s Boulder’s responsibility to surrounding communities? If you close the airport, how does that impact families living near other airports (as their air traffic increases because they can no longer go to Boulder) Attachment 3 - CWG 1 Meeting Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 50 Packet Page 166 of 1201 10 Boulder Municipal Airport Community Conversations • Concerns about the sustainability of the airport (and threat of closure) Meeting Wrap Up Is there anything you would like to learn more about or additional information you would like to have? • FAA – Roles and responsibilities • Steps to repurpose an airport • City council statements about the future of the airport • Demographic information about stakeholder involved in this process • Actives that require sales tax – does that revenue stay at the airport? • What can/can’t happen at the airport • Influence zone map • More detail on revenue and expenses at airport • Did FAA introduce a new tiered funding program that uses the number of operations to determine an airport’s funding levels? If so, when? Does this have a relationship with increase tough and go traffic at area GA airports? Take Aways • It is enlightening to hear other perspectives. • There are polar Perspectives. • Can we do both? Affordable housing and keep airport operating? • We need to look at ALL scenarios. Homework • Talk to 5 people, not in the CWG and ask this question: “How can the community and the airport coexist?” Attachment 3 - CWG 1 Meeting Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 51 Packet Page 167 of 1201 11 Boulder Municipal Airport Community Conversations Attachment 3 - CWG 1 Meeting Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 52 Packet Page 168 of 1201 12 Boulder Municipal Airport Community Conversations Attachment 3 - CWG 1 Meeting Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 53 Packet Page 169 of 1201 13 Boulder Municipal Airport Community Conversations Appendices Appendix A.

In preparation for a future Airport Master Plan Update, the city is working to develop a deeper understanding of the community’s desired future for the airport, while being mindful of long- term commitments to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The community’s ideas, aspirations and lived experiences will help inform a range of possibilities for the airport’s future. Through inclusive engagement, the city will collaborate with the public to identify which of these possible scenarios best contributes to the community’s vision for the City of Boulder. What is the CWG? The CWG are key airport stakeholders from a variety of backgrounds who will remain engaged throughout the project. CWG meetings provide a setting for dialogue between impacted community members to refine stakeholder input and identify a range of possible scenarios for the future of the airport. The CWG will contribute to the community conversation process to help develop a deeper understanding of the vision of directly impacted stakeholders, community members and traditionally underserved communities. The city and CWG will evaluate possible scenarios for the future of the airport depending on: • City and project requirements • State, Division of Aeronautics, and FAA considerations • Community and stakeholder perspectives • Alignment with community goals, including the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan, the Sustainability, Equity and Resilience Framework and the Transportation Master Plan. What can you expect if you participate? The CWG will meet five times throughout the course of the project to develop a range of possible future scenarios for the airport. CWG meetings are anticipated to be 2-hour meetings on a weekday. The CWG will collaborate with the city to discuss: • Where we are: the group will discuss the current situation of the airport and its community role Attachment 3 - CWG 1 Meeting Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 55 Packet Page 171 of 1201 • Community Vision: the group will discuss the future of the airport and begin creating a range of possible scenarios for its future • Community Priorities: the group will evaluate the range of scenarios and narrow the possibilities down to two to three preferred scenarios. • Recommendations: the group will decide on a preferred future scenario for the airport In addition to the meetings, CWG members will be encouraged to participate in two 2-hour public open house meetings to share the project progress with the broader Boulder community.

CONSULTANT SCOPE OF WORK Overview The scope of this project is to carry out a community engagement process that identifies community goals and desired outcomes, a range of alternatives and the selection of a preferred alternative. The city is working to develop a deeper understanding of the desired future for BDU by engaging directly with the greater Boulder community, while being mindful of current obligations and commitments to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Kimley-Horn and their subconsultants have begun connecting with various community members to understand common interests, challenges, opportunities, and potential alternatives through facilitating community conversations. Each conversation will aim to understand the stakeholders’ points of view about the benefits of the airport, airport operations, how the airport affects community members, and determine what alternatives might be preferred. Following the in-depth interviews, the project team will form a Community Working Group (CWG) comprised of both on and off airport stakeholders which will meet three times over the course of the project. The project team will host two public open houses to engage the broader public in the community conversation about the future of the airport. These community conversations and the CWG will help shape the development of a preferred alternative for the future of the airport and guide a future FAA Airport Master Plan Update should the City Council decide to pursue. Using the information gathered in these conversations, the project team will develop a range of up to four alternatives. The analysis of these alternatives will include goals, objectives, evaluation criteria and a high-level estimated cost of implementation. From these alternatives, the team will optimally identify a preferred alternative. The preferred alternative presented may not be representative of all comments and concerns gathered during the community conversation process. There will likely be elements outside the alternatives that warrant additional quantification or discussion (including conversations with regulatory agencies) which will be addressed through a separate process complimentary to the alternatives. While mindful of the community recommendations, the project team will work with federal partners to understand how the recommendations will stand up to the continuing FAA obligations. The outcome of this additional study will be shared with the City Council for review, input, and further staff direction and guidance. Community Conversation Strategy Purpose The purpose of this strategy is to facilitate community conversations about aspirations and desired outcomes for the future of the airport. These conversations will help the project team understand and Item 1 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 2 Attachment 3 - CWG 1 Meeting Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 81 Packet Page 197 of 1201 contextualize the relationship between directly impacted communities and airport operations. By speaking directly to stakeholders, the city will foster relationships between city and airport leadership and key stakeholder groups to meaningfully apply community input and desires into the future of the airport. Consistent with the City’s Racial Equity Plan, the project team will engage directly with underserved community members and will collaborate with the city’s Community Connectors to solicit feedback on the engagement strategy, process, and issues at hand. Staff and the project team will employ the city’s Racial Equity Instrument to further refine the community engagement activities for this effort, with a focus on underrepresented communities including the San Lazaro Mobile Home Community and the Vista Village Mobile Home Community. Outreach to these communities will be used to inform the decisions for the future of the airport that prioritize community experiences and allow for diverse representation. The desired outcome for this effort is for the city to gain a better understanding of the community's desires for the future operations and development of the airport and how it integrates into the community. Additionally, the city aims to identify common understanding among impacted stakeholders about the information gathering process and ensure that all parties and the broader community feel that their input was accurately and equitably considered. Stakeholder Interviews The community conversations kick off with one-on-one stakeholder interviews. These interviews provide key stakeholders who are directly impacted or have direct involvement with the airport an opportunity to discuss topics of primary interest and concern. The project team received initial interview participant recommendations from airport and city staff. During the stakeholder interviews conducted so far, the project team asked participants if they had additional recommendations about other stakeholders to contact for this effort. In addition to this stakeholder list, city staff recommended names and groups to ensure this effort includes traditionally underserved communities. To facilitate broader participation, the project team is providing interpretation services for the interviews upon request. Aviation safety is of the highest priority for the city and the FAA, both in air and on ground. As the regulatory agency, the FAA has vested interested in what occurs at the airport. There are some comments that occurred in which additional context is available: • Several times it was requested that the city remove leaded fuel from BDU o On September 2, 2022, General Aviation Modifications, Inc. (GAMI) received a functional fleet wide approval through FAA’s Supplemental Type Certificate process for an unleaded 100 octane fuel. While this is fuel is compatible with all existing infrastructure (airplane engines, fuel tanks, fuel pumps, fuel trucks, etc.) it will take some time to ramp up production of the G100UL fuel for distribution to all general aviation airports. • Airport repurposing, alternative uses of airport land, and/or access restrictions: o A separate process quantified by legal reviews consistent with existing Grant Obligations with the FAA with cost benefit analysis is suggested o Land purchased with FAA grant monies in the past may preclude reuse of the airport land as anything other than an airport as a viable alternative o The FAA will require the airport sponsor to maintain compliance with all 39 grant assurances until federal obligations expire o Future development and the character of the airport will be part of the future Airport Master Plan Item 1 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 3 Attachment 3 - CWG 1 Meeting Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 82 Packet Page 198 of 1201 o As a federally obligated airport, the city must “…make the airport available as an airport for public use on reasonable terms and without unjust discrimination to all types, kinds and classes of aeronautical activities…” (FAA Grant Assurance 22). The common comments, aspirations and desired outcomes heard during the initial stakeholder interviews can be categorized as follows: • Further restrictions beyond today’s voluntary noise procedures: o Engage congressional delegations given similar themed proposed legislation o Enhance flight tracking software capabilities o Update rules, regulations, and leasing policies to incentivize compliance with the noise program • Greater citizen involvement and accountability through restructured governance o Citizen board with biannual updates to City Council o Airport expenses better delineated in the transportation budget o Provide web-based real time flight data • Remove leaded fuel from BDU • Enhance safety, reduce risks, implement a Traffic Management Program for use of runways: o Introduce traffic pattern modifications o Evaluate touch and go activity o Enforcement for individuals/companies who deactivate collision avoidance systems • Landing fees for non-based aircraft to recoup facility operation and maintenance expenses: o Implement technology solutions • Implement rules, regulations, and leasing policies for tenant accountability • Airport repurposing or alternative uses, or access restrictions: o Economic benefit and cost of having an airport versus other potential uses requires additional study, outside of the scope of this process. • Reduce from two to one runways: o Only allow FAA compliant runways Community Working Group (CWG) After the initial interviews, the project team will convene a CWG which will consist of key stakeholders who will remain engaged throughout the project. The project team will use their input to create a series of three meetings, which will further refine stakeholder input, identify alternatives, and establish a setting for discourse between all impacted stakeholders. A key element of discussion will be education of all stakeholders as to what elements are allowed or precluded from implementing by the FAA and or the City of Boulder as the airport sponsor. Members of the CWG are expected to include (but are not limited to): 1. Interview participants 2. Other key stakeholders to represent the broader community including residents geographically located near the airport 3. Aviation community members such as pilots and tenants 4. Underserved community members who may be directly impacted by the current operations and future alternatives and may include Community Connectors The CWG will meet three times throughout the course of the project to collaborate with city to develop a range of alternatives for the future of the BDU. The first meeting will be a vision workshop in February 2023 where members will talk about the future of the airport, their role as a CWG and determine what a successful project will look like. In April 2023, the CWG will meet to establish community priorities and Item 1 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 4 Attachment 3 - CWG 1 Meeting Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 83 Packet Page 199 of 1201 begin to outline a range of alternatives for consideration. The third and final CWG meeting will establish the preferred alternative to be shared with the project team. Public Open House Meetings One-on-one interviews and establishing the CWG will help identify a range of alternatives and define the Preferred Alternative. In order to allow the wider community to participate in the process, the project team will plan and execute two public open house meetings. Immediately following the first CWG meeting, the project team will host the first public open house meeting to inform the community about the history of the airport and provide a snapshot about what the city has heard from the interviews and CWG group so far. A community survey will coincide with this meeting to solicit initial feedback from the community to aid in the development of the range of alternatives. The second public open house meeting will coincide with the second CWG. This will allow the public to learn about the alternatives identified for evaluation, solicit initial feedback on the alternatives and encourage continued engagement throughout the project and beyond. The consultant will prepare informational content for the city to execute. These materials will include: one community survey to gather initial community feedback, one community survey to gather community feedback on the range of alternatives, two informational fliers (English and Spanish) and a digital resource package (website text, images and social media graphics with supporting text). Alternatives Analysis Using the information gathered through this process the project team will develop up to four alternatives. The analysis of these alternatives will include goals, objectives, evaluation criteria and estimated cost of implementation. From these four alternatives, the team will identify a single preferred alternative. The evaluation criteria developed to assess alternatives will be based on applicable city and project requirements; State, Division of Aeronautics, and FAA considerations; and community and stakeholder perspectives garnered through the robust outreach previously described. The evaluation criteria are a lens to consider the alternatives for BDU.

Small planes use leaded fuel. They are spewing it over us, our homes and our gardens all day long. The people who live near the airport never have a moment of peace and quiet. Pilots continuously circle over our homes even though the homes are in areas marked in red as noise sensitive in the noise abatement map. No attempts at noise abatement are made on the planes as some are easily twice as loud as others. I bought my home 22 years ago and the noise was never a problem. Now I am going to have to move due to the CONSTANT noise of flight training circling over and over my home and glider dragging also going directly over my home. Anonymous 4/08/2023 07:26 AM I’d love to see the airport as a place where people sharing a common interest in aviation can gather and share experiences in addition to sharing our love of aviation with community members.

Anonymous 4/08/2023 11:47 AM As soon as current contracts (FAA etc) are completed, COB should transition the airport to a mixed use, family-oriented community with a focus on affordability. Given the city's ownership of the property, Boulder will be able to have direct control over the character, quality and affordability of a new airport neighborhood. We have several other airports within a 20 mile radius that can accommodate Boulder's commercial, recreational and safety needs. No new agreements should be approved that extend the time for use of the area as an airport. Anonymous 4/08/2023 12:37 PM I believe that having a municipal airport is important for tourism, education, unique access for gliders and critical emergency services such as a staging area in the event of wildfires.

Nothing more nothing less. It doesn’t need to be “unique” and inclusive” to serve a greater good for the community, it’s citizens and neighbors. Providing a staging location in times of disaster (Polis visit for Marshall fires) or allowing kids and adults to experience and provide foundational experiences in aviation is its sole purpose. Stop trying to pump all this BS into every project. (And stop wasting oodles of money on these types of fact finding…it’s disturbing).

It’s gross. Having grown up here and recently returned after 20-ish years it’s been disappointing to watch the city and county piss away what was a unique, vibrant, fun place to live. Just FYI…Boulder is not diverse….in fact, it is one of the least diverse communities that I have ever lived in.

Anonymous 4/09/2023 07:59 AM Actively supports small general aviation operations, and users of all economic classes. Emphasis on a vibrant airport community, supporting by those who spend significant time on the airport, building and maintaining their aircraft, and engaging in other on- airport activities. Specifically de-emphasizing focus on wealthier users who simply land, park their airplane and leave. Those latter folks are welcome, but the airport should not be engaging in policies that specifically favor attracting those people over the more working-class, more engaged users. Promote the development of more hangars, both box hangars and affordable T-hangars, through more favorable lease terms and less onerous bureaucratic processes for permitting.

Most importantly, the airport CANNOT be governed by the ex-post-facto NIMBY crowd. (bought a house near an airport now trying to legislate the airport out of existence).

Anonymous 4/09/2023 09:46 AM The problem is the decision BY THE AIPORT MANAGERS to encourage and seek out flight schools operations at the AIRPORT. Go back to how it was pre-2012 and the airport could fade back into the background and it would be barely noticed. The prior AIRPORT MANGERS F'ed up - like everyone wanted more more more "revenue and flights" so they could advance their careers and move up to a bigger and airports. No flight school operation, no touch and go, what airport? The LIST of community is the YOUR F'ing LIST. Not MY F'ING list. Anonymous 4/09/2023 09:50 AM A bike/walking path around the lake would be lovely. The airport could be extended in the other direction to compensate for the loss of space. Anonymous 4/09/2023 09:55 AM The Boulder Municipal Airport should be closed to eliminate the noise and air pollution that plagues the communities near the airport. Noise pollution has increased in recent years and pilots routinely ignore restrictions and fly over the airport’s neighbors. Planes pollute the airport's neighbors with airborne lead (a pollutant that according the EPA is especially toxic to children at any level), petroleum combustion products like PAH (which cause cancer) and dioxins (which accumulate in the environment and cause caner at very low levels). The City Council has given the Airport a “PASS” on unmitigated pollution and has not provided neighbors with a “RISK ASSESSMENT” on noise and air pollution or the risk of a catastrophic accident caused by airplanes, gliders, ultralights or drones falling out of the sky onto local communities. The land should be used for low- cost housing (not the developer-driven, high-profit housing currently Questionnaire - English : Survey Report for 06 April 2023 to 04 May 2023 Page 14 of 129 Attachment 4 - Questionnaire 1 Results Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 170 Packet Page 286 of 1201 favored by City Council members). The land currently serves the wealthy few at the expense of the more disadvantaged. The Council has Sustainability goals, but appears unwilling to limit the use of greenhouse gas emissions from high-octane air-polluting leaded gas in the skies over Boulder. A better vision for the community would include low-cost housing, parks, and wild life habitat, which is important in the city and county. Anonymous 4/09/2023 10:00 AM The Boulder airport needs to be a safe and welcoming airport for general aviation. The current attitude by the city and airport management makes it so that I no longer wish to operate out of this airport.

Managed by someone who understands the decades of safe operations of the different airport users and who doesn’t invent “safety concerns “ that have no basis in reality to force an agenda that is not supported by the current users or anyone else. An airport that adds value to living in Boulder county. Anonymous 4/09/2023 10:33 AM One of the many things that I think makes Boulder and attractive city is it's community airport. I did the bulk of my flight training at Ft Collins, Loveland Airport. Since beginning my training in 1975, I have been either in school or employed in the Aviation industry until I recently retired. Having flown into many small airports over the years, I think Boulder's is one of the best. It has an old school terminal where anyone can watch airplanes and gliders takeoff and land. I have participated in the EAA's Young Eagles program to introduce kids who may have never flown in a small airplane ( or any airplane). I wish I had a recording of what some of them said. They were all very positive and excited kids of elementary to high school age. I would like to see Boulder have unleaded aviation fuel available at the airport. The airplane that I currently fly, a Cessna 172 should run just fine on unleaded fuel. I also think it would be good to have some airplane charging stations for electric airplanes. These airplanes are not common yet, but they are more than just prototypes now. They are much quieter than the current piston planes. Hangars that have solar panels on their roofs for charging electric airplanes, or feeding electricity back into the grid could make the Boulder Airport a model for high tech sustainable energy. Except for the noise, which over Questionnaire - English : Survey Report for 06 April 2023 to 04 May 2023 Page 15 of 129 Attachment 4 - Questionnaire 1 Results Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 171 Packet Page 287 of 1201 time could be greatly reduced with electric airplanes and fuel (which could also be made better with unleaded) the airport seems to have a relatively low impact on the surrounding area. With the University of Colorado recently completing a new aerospace engineering building and the increasing use of drones for a variety of uses, it seems likely aviation related business will keep improving in the future. I think it is prudent to keep the airport in good shape and to make improvements. While hiking and biking in the Boulder vicinity, there are several places where trails cross abandoned railroad tracks. It seems to me that many Boulder residents would not have wanted those tracks to be given up to development, because now there is no way to get that "right of way" back. Therefore we do not have an easy way to put interurban and local trains back in use. I can imagine several futuristic uses for an asset such as the airport. However, those uses are way in the future, so it should stay as an airport for now. President Obama has come to the Boulder Airport at least twice in recent history. Most presidents don't go to small municipal airports. They go to military bases or large commercial airports. I think that shows what a good airport we have. Anonymous 4/09/2023 10:46 AM Noise restrictions and more visibility to the public on operations Anonymous 4/09/2023 11:05 AM I would like to see money invested in updating the many dilapidated hangars and update the main terminal/FBO. We need more hangars built to accommodate additional demand. I’d like to see KBDU become a center for electric aircraft and urban air mobility and transit. Creating a shared meeting space for non-profit education organizations like mine would be wonderful. Additional pilot training facilities would be great also, to help resolve our current pilot shortage.

Neighboring airports do not have the community and affordability that makes Boulder a home. Improving Boulder's Airport would allow for extra revenue from more planes, training, and improved safety. Boulder can and should be growing and the vision for it is largely centered around safety. Sustainability is around the corner with 100UL gas to make the gasoline even safer Anonymous 4/09/2023 02:35 PM The airport is critical. Not for current usage. This town has made hard, smart choices in the past. Examples include the green space, and the blue line restricting houses at the top of the mountains.

There are loud noises and taxpayer dollars. A small percentage of the community uses the airport frequently. But we must think about the future. A town with an airport inside its boundaries will have huge advantages in the future. Imagine a day when the airplanes and vertical takeoff machines are electric and silent and sustainable. Now imagine that you only drive 15 minutes in your electric car to your local airport, park for free and plug-in for free. Get into an electric machine that takes you to a larger hub , so you skip all the traffic and parking and security lineups and baggage issues for your trip to Mexico. Or you simply take an electric air taxi to visit your in-laws in Wyoming. Imagine if we took all the FedEx trucks off the 36, and they simply had an electric flight from the big airport to our municipal KBDU airport. Easy last mile delivery and less trucks on the road. There are so many potential future advantages to having the municipal airport inside the city boundaries. Focusing on the current usage will make it seem unnecessary and burdensome. It could be a future economic engine and hugely improve the lifestyle of our town. Maybe an investment in a nice terminal with a restaurant and a view, and a social gathering place with a romantic history and easy access. People of all ages could enjoy lunch while watching the fascinating airport activities. Pushing everything to Centennial Airport would be a huge loss for the town. And that is not convenient for Boulderites. Perhaps we could have donors help with scholarships for local kids to get their license. We could have the schools come around and learn about airport operations. We must think about the future. In fact, investing in a high-quality local airport may serve to decrease traffic and congestion in the future.

Anonymous 4/09/2023 02:47 PM As a University of Colorado Boulder student, I view Boulder Municipal Airport as an invaluable asset to the entire Boulder community. The airport is, and continues to be, an inclusive and educational environment. Through learning to fly at Boulder, I have learned priceless life skills and the meaning of self-actualization and personal autonomy. Boulder airport hosts several thriving and well-operated businesses, which only support Boulder's economy and reputation among Front Range communities. As of right now, I have over 7 fellow classmates at CU who are extremely interested and motivated in learning to fly at the Boulder Airport. The aviation educational opportunities the Boulder airport offers, at such close proximity to the University, is unique from almost any University town in the nation. My family and I have lived in boulder since 1965, and been flying to/from the Boulder airport since 1989.

My vision for Boulder Municipal Airport is simple: Maintain the facilities as they are and ensure the security of the airport for generations to come. When it comes to flying, there is nothing like it in the world. Boulder Municipal Airport is a base where countless future dreams, experiences, and dignity-growing activities have yet to take form, for anyone of any race, origin, or income with the motivation to succeed. Do not squander the dreams of current and future Boulder airport users. TABulk 4/09/2023 02:52 PM Over the next 10 years the electric Air Mobility and Air Taxi market will become a new transportation medium between small airports, large airports and other destinations such as ski resorts.

Because of that, I'd love to see flight training expanded here to open that door for others interested in aviation and train the next generation of pilots. My ideal vision for BDU would include updated community buildings and terminals with a picnic/park area, on-site food/restaurant, and more general aviation T-hangars in addition to updating the ones that already exist on the field (the current ones definitely show their age). With the recent approval by the FAA of unleaded fuel, I'd love to see Boulder expedite the transition to unleaded fuel on the field and subsidize some of those costs to make it more accessible for everyone over 100 Low Lead. With safety as a significant concern of mine, ensuring security gates are consistent around the entire perimeter of the airport property is critical - right now there's a gap between the main terminal building and where the general aviation t-hangars are on the east side of the field where anyone could get in and access the planes, causing serious damage. Along with this, updating our terminal building to include more amenities such as a restaurant, pilots lounge, working spaces, etc. Questionnaire - English : Survey Report for 06 April 2023 to 04 May 2023 Page 22 of 129 Attachment 4 - Questionnaire 1 Results Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 178 Packet Page 294 of 1201 would elevate the clientele flying in, and make it a more inclusive and welcoming space for everyone. One of the most positive general aviation experiences I've had since I started flying was at the Naples Municipal Airport in Florida, which just completed an upgrade to its GA terminal, instituted quiet hours, and increased infrastructure on the field. If we can strive to follow their example, I think the aviation community and surrounding city would be much happier coexisting with one another. Anonymous 4/09/2023 04:03 PM I'd like to see KBDU as hub/gateway to the rockies. Much like what has been done with the airport/FBO at KVBT in Bentonville, AR.

Anonymous 4/09/2023 04:06 PM The Boulder Airport has been instrumental in my success in my career as an airline pilot. Without it, I would not be in the position I am today. I would like to see increase in pilot training or at least more support for the training that does exist. The Boulder airport is instrumental in training local aspiring pilots which go on to become airline pilots. I would like to see more space for non profits to engage with young people and inspire them to pursue STEM/ Aerospace careers. I would also like to see continued support for training of young people. It would be great to see scholarships for local students to pursue aviation at the Boulder airport. Involvement with local schools and non profits would also be great.

The planes fly over my house regularly and it doesn't bother me. Anonymous 4/09/2023 07:41 PM Boulder Airport has been around for nearly as long as aviation has existed. Airports with history like that are becoming more and more rare, and it’s a treasure we should not discard. I was born in Boulder in the 70s, and one of my earliest memories is of my late father taking me to the airport to watch planes take off and land. This instilled in me a wonder and love of aviation which ultimately led to me pursuing (and obtaining) a BSc in Aeronautical Engineering. I then worked as an aircraft engineer at innovative companies such as Lockheed Skunk Works and Burt Rutan’s SCALED Composites. I obtained my private pilot’s license in 1996 and fly to this day. Although I grew up in Boulder, life took me elsewhere for many years. Three years ago, I returned to Boulder and a major reason why was having access to a local airport. I invested in the airport’s future by purchasing the remaining 27 years on a lease to a new-construction hangar on the airport. There I store a small airplane and also provide hangar space to other pilots. Obviously, I have a personal attachment to the airport and its continued operation. But the value of Boulder Airport goes far beyond its relevance to me. The airport provides a safe and local on- ramp for those interested in aviation to discover a love of flying and take their first steps towards becoming a pilot or become otherwise involved in the aviation industry or STEM generally. We have the opportunity to secure and improve the airport’s future by creating a leasing and development policy that favors continued investment, maintenance, and operation of aircraft, hangars and businesses on the airport. Forgive the pun, the sky is the limit in terms of what other services and educational opportunities could be provided on site. For example, support and encouragement of the EAA chapter could help provide more vocational on-ramps for those interested in aircraft maintenance and construction. Or an aviation museum could provide a healthy and constructive way for the local community to discover and interact with aviation and the airport generally. I am deeply concerned and troubled by the possibility that the airport may one day cease operation. This is a one way door that would destroy not only the wonderful historic continuity, but also the promise of a long and healthy aviation community centered here in Boulder.

But closing the airport would not solve those issues. It would, at best, provide simply one more neighborhood…a minimal addition in a city made up of dozens of neighborhoods. Boulder has long been protective of not only its land, but its identity. The airport has been around for a century. It is part of that crucial and special Boulder identity and it should be preserved. Anonymous 4/09/2023 07:48 PM An airport that has continued normal General Aviation operation and a community that understands that the pilots are not intending to be a nuisance. Anonymous 4/09/2023 07:51 PM Provide aviation access to the area, support emergency services, fire fighting and flight for life. Training accessibility for college students, youth programs and science. This questionnaire is very slanted by design of the questions and available answers is only going to slant the results against the airport. Anonymous 4/09/2023 08:06 PM Remain open for the public Anonymous 4/09/2023 08:09 PM Easy location for different levels of learning aviation (private, instrument, multi etc) and a usable hub for business/aeromedical. FYI this is not a good survey. Questions are obviously tailored to give more Bias to citizens opposed to KBDU and who think in one general framework: there is not a diversity of thought represented in this survey Anonymous 4/09/2023 08:30 PM What an amazing opportunity to thrive! Runway, taxiway, and infrastructure improvements such as more (affordable) hangars, and dining options would really make KBDU so much better. Putting money into the public infrastructure to encourage more public interaction, curiosity, and partnership would be great. Revamping the terminal building with more modern amenities while retaining the original charm would be great. Encourage the public to be involved in aviation and the rich history at KBDU with historic displays, and interesting exhibits. Anonymous 4/09/2023 08:37 PM Boulder airport (KBDU) should be updated and community working groups on noise, lead, training, congestion, and glider towing should be formed.

Details on my perspective: the airport is an important part of the community. There is a lot of room for improvement with KBDU, general aviation (GA), and aviation on the front range. Electric GA planes are coming, will be cleaner, and not as loud. Quiet and clean little airplanes could birth a renaissance of aviation in the 21st century: especially in big open areas like the western U.S.. Long term considerations for Boulder having an airport: fire suppression and fighting, emergency services, personal and professional travel, personal and professional training, technology, and business development. Fire and emergency considerations are important for Boulder's future given our size and location. I understand that KBDU is not central to these considerations today but it could be in the coming decades and centuries. If KBDU was closed, it would be unlikely that Boulder would ever claw back an airport. That could be long term mistake for Boulder as a thriving city, community, and home. Anonymous 4/09/2023 08:58 PM My vision for the airport serves five layers for the City and County. These include preservation of open space; engineering research and aviation education; enhancing our transportation infrastructure; providing an emergency response capacity for the county; promoting business tourism and transportation. We are incredibly fortunate to have this piece of well-maintained infrastructure in our county. The current conversation surrounding its use does not fully capture the multilayered benefits the airport provides our county. Anonymous 4/09/2023 09:00 PM Boulder Municipal Airport is currently a thriving airport where aviation enthusiasts, professionals, and students gather to learn and be a part of a community. It is a place where many people make connections on a daily basis and conduct business. Small airports like this are the source of inspiration for kids, and it shows them that it is possible for them to learn to fly and gain access to the skies. The airport should be expanded in order to further encourage this environment and create an even deeper community experience. There should be a restaurant where community members can gather to socialize over food, conduct in commerce, and watch the variety of beautiful aircraft fly. The city should also build a small/miniature museum and education center where children (and adults) can go to learn about Boulder's aviation history and the overall American aviation history. There could be workshops at the education center where teenagers can learn how to build aircraft with their own hands which would give a priceless skill in engineering, mechanics, and aircraft design. And eventually, there could be opportunities where a local pilot provides free discovery flights and/or pilot education to low-income teenagers so that they can engage in the community The aviation community in Questionnaire - English : Survey Report for 06 April 2023 to 04 May 2023 Page 28 of 129 Attachment 4 - Questionnaire 1 Results Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 184 Packet Page 300 of 1201 Boulder city and Boulder county is quite large, but there is a severe shortage of hangars. The city should focus on building additional hangars such that the community can grow and be more accessible to aviation enthusiast. Anonymous 4/09/2023 09:25 PM I am hoping to see a growth in the Boulder Municipal Airport with younger generations. Because there is a pilot shortage, there will need to be an increase in pilot training. With the noise abatement procedures in place, there are many viable areas to practice maneuvers in order for students to earn their ratings to move up as airline or corporate pilots. The Boulder Municipal Airport is an incredible place to learn how to fly and to do recreational flying because it is a local area, the airport is often not very crowded, and the people at and around the airport are very friendly and make me feel welcomed. Anonymous 4/09/2023 09:27 PM Continued use for aviation and education Anonymous 4/09/2023 09:43 PM I would love to see Boulder Airport as a pathway into either a career or a hobby in aviation. I am currently a flight instructor at Journeys Aviation and also participate in a lot of the non-profit/community events that take place at the airport and have first-hand experience seeing the life-changing moments kids and adults have daily. I have a large number of younger students in middle school and high school where aviation involvement and taking flight lessons have given them drive and a purpose. I have seen the civil air patrol use the space to conduct training for new recruits and junior ROTC members where kids have a place to go and where they can develop themselves into something great. The airport as with any space could use improvement. I really like to see it transformed into a more public- friendly airport. Maybe a larger observation area, maybe some type of food service or food truck like they have at many airports that might draw in the public and show them the joy and benefits of general aviation. The glider side of the airport is such a unique experience and I feel like the airport could exploit that more to draw more positive attention. I feel like gliders are the closes thing to the city of Boulder you could get! Anonymous 4/09/2023 10:12 PM this place is good but could be great again, great causal place and not busy like arapahoe or jeffco airports, must maintain the hangers, can we get any food service?

As a student pilot with Mile High Gliding at Boulder Airport, I have been able to learn about general aviation and pursue my passion at a young age. I have grown up surrounded by aviation as my dad is a private pilot and CFI and having the ability to fly out of my local community airport has been an incredible experience. Boulder airport is a small sustainable community airport and it embodies every aspect of what Boulder is. It is a facility where the community can be brought together (EAA rally’s and chapter involvement), where students can learn and test their creative and critical thinking skills (student pilot opportunities) and where safety is the highest standard and widely accomplished by patrons and pilots. We need the airport, it creates community that makes Boulder, Boulder. Anonymous 4/10/2023 12:29 AM A unique, home-town airport experience that embraces and celebrates it's long history, promotes the future of aviation innovation, inspires the youth in Boulder and surrounding communities and provides visitors with a welcoming and diverse atmosphere that community members and families will be proud of and want to visit regularly. A place that excites and inspires the next generation of aviators, scientists, educators, engineers, explorers, and entrepreneurs. A place that provides: Quality primary flight instruction (both powered and glider) for future aviators; ease of access to and availability of resources (supplies, information, hangars, visitor accommodations) for the general aviation and soaring communities; aviation discovery opportunities for the public with a priority on infrastructure and operational support for emergency services (medical evacuation heli pad and rapid fueling processes, search & rescue facilities and equipment, disaster relief facilities, supplies and personnel transport); pursues and encourages new technology for environmental sustainability (e.g. unleaded fuels, noise reduction systems, ultra efficient power-plants, electric aircraft). In addition, an airport that promotes, welcomes and draws aviation enthusiasts, families and local non-aviation community members alike with frequent open houses (airport days), classroom/lecture facilities, a place to eat and enjoy a cup of coffee while watching and experiencing the variety of airport activities, a place to camp overnight with courtesy bikes/scooters to visit downtown Boulder.

Anonymous 4/10/2023 08:32 AM The Boulder airport is a vital part of the community. Moreover, it is an obvious essential part of the Boulder County emergency services as evidenced by the great role it played as a staging area during the great floods. It saved lives and there is nothing to replace it if it is lost. Even thinking about getting rid of this well established facility is ridiculous. Many have chosen to build around the airport or move next to it and now want to squeeze it out for personal interests and now want to make the entire county worse off by losing access to such a great facility for their own financial gains. The Boulder Municipal Airport should continue its long history of education, access to aviation experience near the mountains, and irreplaceable emergency services function.

Anonymous 4/10/2023 08:43 AM More glider operations - that is such an opportunity, especially for youth, to be engaged in aviation. They learn so much about science, weather, physics, coupled with personal growth, maturity, and building confidence. So many communities are adding aviation to their high school curriculum as a way to engage students in learning complex subjects. Why is Boulder lagging behind? AOPA has the curriculum available, Boulder needs to be forward-thinking to embrace the opportunity. Would love to see an upgraded airport building, FBO, flight school, aircraft fleet, more hangars.

Anonymous 4/10/2023 09:29 AM My connection to the Boulder airport is through youth education. The airport has been and continues a vital resource for introducing children and teenagers to aviation and research related to aviation. I am not a pilot, my connection is as a volunteer working with local pilots, especially the EAA. My vision is that the airport remains an accessible and open to all place for everyone to watch and learn about many types of aviation. As such I value the observation area, Propeller Park, which was established as my son's Eagle Scout Project, the terminal building, and easy access to all of the airport facilities. We have had aviation training sessions in several of the private hangars and I enjoy seeing families of all economic backgrounds enjoying the airport as a place dream, watch aircraft operations, listen to air traffic, etc. It may be nice to grow the visitor area and possibly introduce some formal youth outreach programs. Anonymous 4/10/2023 09:35 AM I'd like to see the airport serving as an example site for demonstration of next-generation sustainable changes and technologies, placing Boulder at the forefront of the aerospace industry, as befits the home to one of the world's strongest aerospace Universities. For example, providing 100% sustainable aviation fuel for all flights, or offering short haul electric passenger services to other regional airports like Denver or those in the mountains.

Rocky Mountain Metro is an attraction for businesses, and Boulder needs to compete with it. Anonymous 4/10/2023 12:09 PM I believe the city and county should make investments to upgrade and maintain the existing hangars and infrastructure at the airport, as well as bring their policies of long-term ground leases in-line with other municipalities around the country which do not take over ownership of improvements (buildings constructed) after the end of a lease term. The city needs to provide water/sewar and encourage private investment to build and maintain hangars, or do it themselves. But if the city takes the improvements from people who build the buildings, they will not invest or maintain them. This is the current situation. This is not what Longmont, or Greeley, or Broomfield do to their airport tenants.

Some planes are so quiet I barely notice them. My vision would be that all aircraft be required to meet minimum noise requirements. Additionally I have recently become aware of the health hazard imposed upon neighbors of the airport from airplane exhaust. My vision would also include minimizing the air quality risk to neighbors of the airport. Anonymous 4/10/2023 12:49 PM The most immediate need is more hangar space and perhaps a crack-down on non-aviation use of the current space. Another thing I would like to see is that KBDU would offer unleaded aircraft fuel. That seems a relatively low-hanging fruit as well. But in the long-run, I would certainly like to see new businesses to come to the area e.g. companies focusing on electric powered aircraft or novel, fuel efficient designs.

I would also like to see more involvement of the public, e.g. through STEM events for kids and teens, and open house events at the airport for families to foster a better understanding of the impact of the airport, as well as to attract a diverse next-gen of aerospace engineers, mechanics, pilots... Currently, the local EAA chapter is offering a limited number of such programs, which could be built on. A welcoming playground or in- and outdoor gathering spaces for public use would be great as well. And last but not least, more electric chargers for cars would be a plus too. Anonymous 4/10/2023 12:53 PM The airport serves my family and I very well as it currently exists. There is always room for improvement and creative options but in my travels to many smaller airports I would rank KBDU in the top quartile with respect to my idea of what a smaller general aviation airport should be. Aircraft owners and pilots are certainly a minority in Boulder's population. However the airport does provide a staging area when there are floods, fires, etc. that affect the area. The possibility for fire and flooding is likely to increase as time goes on and the airport is a natural place to stage rescue operations and fire fighting operations. In my own case, I am a volunteer pilot and on the board of Lighthawk. There have been many Lighthawk flights that originated in Boulder that are flown in support of various environmental issues. Anonymous 4/10/2023 12:56 PM I am a child of a pilot, with my father receiving his pilot’s license in the early 2000s. Since I was a young girl, I have had the incredibly privileged experience of flying with him and getting to know the world of aviation. The Boulder Municipal Airport, along with the Erie Municipal Airport, were strong pillars of my experience with aviation. My father has also been a large part of the Young Eagles organization, which helps introduce children to aviation and its many benefits. As a woman now, this program, and the airport itself, is crucial for maintaining the interest and exposure for kids and teens to the world of aviation. The Boulder Municipal Airport itself represents an inclusive and opportunistic pillar of Boulder County and beyond. It has the unique ability to help the next generation of pilots and those interested in other fields related to aviation. This is especially important for those with ethnic and gender minorities get involved, whereas they might not get the chance otherwise. If the airport’s land were to be used for another use, it would be detrimentally affecting those who are interested in aviation, who are currently training to become pilots, and those who follow their passion for flying already. Aviation combines the facets of intellect, an appreciation for nature and traveling, and the opportunity to serve others.

My vision for the airport is to be a center that encourages innovation and development in aviation and aerospace, and one that the city can be proud of and promote! There are already several small aviation businesses based at the airport whose products directly benefit the public and/or environment (albeit not well promoted to the community). Encourage more small business development in these areas. Stimulate growth. Bring jobs and economic opportunities to Boulder by fostering this forward-thinking potential that already exists, but married to aviation and aerospace! My vision for the airport is as a resource that is used responsibly in the pursuit and furtherance of a progressive society. My vision for the airport is a community center that inspires the residents and promotes economic opportunities for those at all stages of life and levels of income. The airport fosters many potentially lucrative jobs; pilot, mechanic, engineer, etc. Promote these opportunities and careers to the residents of Boulder. Not everyone wants to be, or can be a tech-millionaire.

As a child, I was was first exposed to aviation and flying at a small airport like Boulders’ and it was critical in my pursuit of becoming an atmospheric scientist and having a career as a woman in STEM. Having a small airport as a resource can be a really important community tool for education. Anonymous 4/10/2023 01:31 PM Boulder is a university town with advanced learners, science and technology experts, and overall intelligent people. Intelligent people are constant learners and aviation is a mentally and physically challenging pursuit that many intelligent people pursue when they have mastered their areas of expertise professionally and personally. Anonymous 4/10/2023 01:32 PM I hope for the airport to be able to stay and allow for a continuation of the airport community of recreation and flight training. Anonymous 4/10/2023 01:32 PM I absolutely love KBDU, it is my safe place. The people are wonderful, the community, the scenery, KBDU is in my eyes the perfect airport! I think KBDU deserves more funding, the work done there is helping inspire tons of new pilots, and it's just a great place. If any place in boulder deserves more funding, its KBDU.

This is not 1928, not 1954, not 1980. There are thousands of homes around this airport now and EVERY plane that takes off from that airport annoys the s**t out of EVERY resident on the ground. The fact that it still exists and that a handful of pilots find it OK to piss off thousands of residents with each flight is ghastly. I will attend a meeting ASAP. I suggest we hold a meeting on my patio on a blue-sky Sunday morning sometime this summer. Anonymous 4/10/2023 02:45 PM Airport is an extremely important part of any modern high tech town.

Anonymous 4/10/2023 04:01 PM There is often constant daytime, and sometimes nighttime, air traffic over Gunbarrel. It is often multiple planes at once and aircraft noise can almost always be heard.

Anonymous 4/10/2023 04:33 PM It needs to be moved further down from the city, it is too loud. Anonymous 4/10/2023 05:10 PM General aviation provides many things to many people (especially in a friendly environment like Boulder Airport): For the high-schoolers and college students learning to fly, it offers an environment where they can set goals and timelines, adopt disciplined study habits, face their limitations (and build a solid work ethic in order to pay for flight tuition). For older people taking lessons, it presents the chance to learn valuable life skills - understanding the weather, troubleshooting machinery - and it may represent the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. For both of the above it provides a sense of achievement and accomplishment that few other pursuits offer. For those making a career out of aviation (often working as flight instructors) Colorado's changing weather offers plenty of opportunity to build and hone pilot skills. If you have flown on a regional carrier at any point in the past few years there's a very good chance that the Captain or First Officer up front learned to fly at a small regional airport, then built time as a Certified Flight Instructor (again, at a smaller airport) before signing on with an airline. Those skills they learned - possibly in the skies over Northern Colorado - cannot be replicated in a simulator, but they are the reason why the flight may have seemed uneventful to you as a passenger. Boulder Airport should continue to be a vibrant center for General Aviation Anonymous 4/10/2023 05:11 PM Get rid of it Anonymous 4/10/2023 05:20 PM I would like more public spaces for fun airport events (airport days for adults and kids), and for non-profit group meetings (EAA, The Ninety- Nines, etc.). I think it is critical to keep the airport functional and thriving, and let Boulderites know how important it is for emergency purposes (such as National Guard evacuations during fires and floods, or helicopter medical transport and rescue), and for flight training, where some pilots learn to fly for recreation, but others go on to become commercial and airline pilots. Also, the airport has an important economic function (glider rides, flight training and so on).

Anonymous 4/10/2023 05:41 PM Better community buildings Anonymous 4/10/2023 05:42 PM I spend more time at the airport then I do at my own house. Airplanes are my life, my passion, and my destiny. I do not see the need to destroy it to build something completely unnecessary. I am not at all opposed to improving the airport for the better, but if you destroy the airport you destroy me and my future.

Anonymous 4/10/2023 06:23 PM More comprehensive safety plan Anonymous 4/10/2023 06:41 PM I would like to see Boulder Municipal Airport continue to provide opportunities to young and old alike to learn how to fly gliders and fly powered recreational aircraft. My daughter took her first glider flights there at the age of 13 and now she is a US Air Force pilot at just 26 years old!! She will fly the F-35 fighter starting next month! This airport and the people who work and fly there changed the direction of her life and we are forever grateful. Condos don't create pilots, airports do, and we need to keep this airport open. Opportunities to learn to fly recreational aircraft are become less available and that makes it hard for young people to even explore aviation. Boulder County has always been a place where people from all walks of life can enjoy unique opportunities. You can't fly gliders just anywhere and the unique thermals at Boulder Municipal Airport are really something special! Our community is a hotbed of innovation and we have the opportunity to lead the way in aircraft powered by alternative fuels. Add classrooms and hangars for people to get aviation education. Add places for kids to learn how to build real airplanes. Open an aviation tech incubator. Be a leader in the aviation community instead of tossing it aside like yesterday's news so we can build new housing that no one is excited about. Let's keep Boulder Municipal Airport open for future generations! Anonymous 4/10/2023 06:59 PM I think we need more affordable housing options.

Do something better for the community with the space. Anonymous 4/10/2023 08:35 PM I think the airport should be closed and the land repurposed for something that benefits the entire community. It's absurd that in 2023 we allow the use of leaded aviation fuel (small planes are the largest source of lead pollution) and additionally tolerate the noise, disruption, and carbon costs for such a miniscule benefit to a small slice of the community. The City was here long before the airport was formed, the location is too close to the City proper, there are almost no parts of the City that can escape the regular flight paths, there are several other airports within Boulder County that can be used, and the voluntary noise abatement program is wholly inadequate. The airport is in direct opposition to Boulder's environmental standards, climate goals, and health and wellness standards. If it must remain open, I would like to see leaded fuel completely banned, takeoffs and landings directed only to/from the east to avoid, no touch and go landings allowed, and taxes levied on flight schools and users that support education, equity, and outreach programs that at least minimally benefit the community at large. Stop allowing such a small minority of the community to externalize lead, pollution, and noise onto the rest of us. Anonymous 4/10/2023 08:48 PM I think we should get rid of it. Recreation for a few at the expense (pollution, noise, etc) of the rest of the community isn't in keeping with Boulder's values Anonymous 4/10/2023 09:07 PM I would love to see a restaurant, more hangar space, updated facilities as well as a larger park for families and viewing areas. “Propeller Park” has been very successful at hosting families, people on lunch breaks as well as aviation enthusiasts.

Anonymous 4/11/2023 07:37 AM The airport should be decommissioned and the site should be redeveloped to meet a mix of community needs, including housing, business, and park space. If the City would like to retain a small area for helicopter and/or future drone aviation, that would be reasonable. However, the City must balance the benefits of the airport -- a pleasant hobby for those who can afford it -- against the negative impacts of the airport's operations, including excessive land use, upkeep/maintenance costs, noise, lead pollution, and carbon emissions.

I also think there is immense potential for the Boulder airport to be used as a hotspot of innovation and research, given the concentration of aerospace-related institutions in the Boulder/Denver area.

I'm a pilot, and lead poisoning scares the hell out of me, considering I work with leaded fuel on a regular basis and live less than a mile from the airport. I know this is a much larger issue than what to do with Boulder Municipal, but I would like to see a concerted effort on both a local and state level to eliminate leaded fuels from our airports. I don't think banning avgas is a good solution right now, since without any available alternatives, it would completely destroy general aviation. I would like to see a concerted effort by the state government to incentivize research and production of 100 octane unleaded aviation fuels, approved by the FAA for use in most aircraft piston engines.

I would like to see high-density development that incorporates a mix of uses. Industrial, commercial, biotech, housing (workforce & market rate), and public spaces. The development will be regulated by a form-based zoning code that will prioritize street- level activation, and allow a diverse range of building styles and designs.The architectural design standards will be developed in cooperation with professional architects, planners, and citizens, and will prioritize urban beauty and livability, while incorporating the public feedback from the design standard development process, and the engineering design standards will prioritize sustainability and longevity. The development will incorporate a mix of ~25 story buildings, ~10 story buildings, and buildings between 2 and 5 stories. A mix of different lot sizes, and an incorporation of a short-block grid will increase walkability and a multiplicity of building types. Having buildings close together, and limiting building setbacks will also contribute to the livability of the development. This development will prioritize pedestrians, bikers, and transit riders, with all streets within the development either car-free or heavily car restricted. The streets would also be a limited width, and incorporate living infrastructure (grasses, flowers, shrubs, small trees, and large trees). On the blocks of the development, there will be a diverse range of activation. Each block will have at least one commercial space, and zoning will allow all of the uses stated above to coexist in close proximity. The development will have no effects on current residents views, as it is on the fringe of Boulder’s developed area. In fact, it will create a beautiful skyline that mirrors nature’s skyline of the foothills and flatirons. Anonymous 4/12/2023 04:18 PM I would like to see all the glider activity stopped.

Anonymous 4/12/2023 06:53 PM KBDU has a unique set of operations most namely the medivac use, glider operations, and flight training. The airport fulfills its current niche and works with the community to operate in an agreeable manner. Glider operations at the airport are particularly unique and environmentally friendly - pilots often fly hundreds or over 1000km all under the power of the wind and sun. I wouldn’t see much changing with the Boulder airport, other than further embracing and improving upon the niche it already fills in the aviation community. All of the flight training brings in money and trains the future generation of pilots who go on to fly in the military, airlines, and more which is of huge importance to the economy in Boulder and around the world. Flying is a big part of the lives of those who use the airport and is one of the best sites in the world to fly gliders. It would be heartbreaking to see this land used for some other purpose like a park, restaurant, or especially commercial or residential use - this could easily be placed elsewhere. Once this airport is gone, it’s gone forever along with the future of Boulder’s influence on aviation and the livelihoods and passion of the pilots who fly there.

It's funny that it's the only piece of city property that is constantly "under review" - not the case with the library, the bus station, parks, etc. I started working at the Boulder airport as a kid, pumping gas. I learned how to fly, made it a career, and now own an aviation business. The airport is part of the National Transportation System, that's why the FAA continues to fund it, for which we have entered into an agreement with, that we are bound to. Beyond that, it's a place for people to fly, work, travel, learn, discover new skills, have community, and be entertained. It's the place where we go when there is a fire or flood, it's where our emergency services people train, it's where the hospital helicopter is based. For the opponents of the airport that complain about the airplanes; I have been to an handful of City airport meetings, and for 30 years the same small group of people account for the bulk of the complaints. If the airport were no longer there, they would find something else to be discontent about.

Do we pave over the green belt, libraries, ball fields? All for another set of condos and coffee shops? The airport is an asset to Boulder as an airport. It should be looked at that way, and made to look like the gateway to a great city, which it is. Anonymous 4/12/2023 10:44 PM Shut it down asap. It is making previously "Quiet Zone" residential neighborhoods a living hell with safety issues (student pilots looping endlessly, sometimes crashing), health issues (lead exhaust cumulative exposure) and loud noises so we can't even have a conversation sitting in our yard. It is an absolute disgrace and the city is not listening to the MANY Boulder citizens who have complained.

Hangers need updating and the airport manager needs to be replaced Anonymous 4/13/2023 06:50 AM Boulder Municipal Airport has the potential to be transformed into a sustainable community that provides affordable housing for residents in the Boulder area. The site's location and infrastructure make it an ideal location for such a project. The airport could be repurposed into a mixed-use development that combines residential units, commercial spaces, and public amenities. The development could include a variety of housing types, including apartments, townhouses, and single-family homes, to accommodate a diverse range of residents.

The cost of living in the area has skyrocketed in recent years, making it increasingly difficult for working-class families and individuals to afford housing. This crisis has far-reaching consequences, from displacement and homelessness to the erosion of the community fabric that makes Boulder such a unique and vibrant place to live. Repurposing the land where Boulder Municipal Airport is located for the public good is an opportunity to address this crisis head-on. By transforming the airport into a sustainable community that provides affordable housing and public amenities like parks, Boulder can create a model for other cities to follow. Moreover, repurposing the land in this way aligns with Boulder's values of sustainability and social justice. By using the land for affordable housing, the city can help reduce its carbon footprint by reducing commutes and increasing walkability. It can also ensure that everyone in the community, regardless of their income level, has access to safe and healthy housing. Anonymous 4/13/2023 07:06 AM Boulder is a city with a thriving community, but we also face significant challenges in terms of affordable housing and accessible green spaces. The Boulder Airport, located on 130 acres of prime real estate, represents a unique opportunity for the city to address these issues and create a brighter future for its residents. Repurposing the land currently used by the airport for affordable housing would be a bold and proactive step towards addressing the housing crisis facing Boulder. With high housing prices and a limited supply of affordable units, Boulder needs to take decisive action to ensure that its residents can continue to live and work in the city they call home. By building affordable housing on the airport's land, the city could provide much-needed relief for low-income residents and ensure that they have a safe and comfortable place to call home.

We thought the area was quiet! The airport needs to move away from residents. Anonymous 4/13/2023 08:36 AM BMA should be an innovation, recreational and educational aerospace facility. There are world class aerospace companies, CU aerospace is one of the top programs in Boulder, however, there continues to be a disconnect between tapping into this innovation and the BMA. Largely if BMA models itself after (i.e. Jeffco, even Longmont) that would be terrific. So to start: Hangar wait list should be governed by economics (i.e. higher rental fees will benefit city and prioritize wait list by economics). Likewise aerospace innovation zone (per Jeffco) could be created. Keeping this as a wait list based on time with relatively static prices stagnates the community. Likewise BMA should enforce needs of rental and make sure all tenants are aerospace business per the FAA. Likewise, while BMA has catered well to university/scientific aviation researchers. These clients occupy prime (and have too much) space. Also BMA manager should consider reaching out to firefighting centers to be a more ready/able partner in wildfire mitigation. BMA would also benefit from having an innovation area or tapping into innovation grants. Fundamentally BMA has a relatively short runway so it is limited to recreational and innovation vs. commercial/business travel...those will always be handled by Jeffco. Thus, the vision for BMA should really lean into recreation/education (i.e. glider, small planes, simulators, youth programs, pre pilot training) and innovation (i.e. environmental innovation - alt fuel programs, eplanes, forest fires maping, land surveys, animal counts, methane sensing and fracking sensor payload testing, advanced simulator testing, navigation testing, camera testing and scientific (i.e. storm chaser, near atmosphere composition measurement).

I am disappointed to find not a single question regarding the effect on the neighborhood. For the record, the effect of the airport on the neighborhood is quite a negative one. My vision is to close the airport permanently. If that property could be used to provide additional sustainable housing, such as what was recently built down the road at 47th, that would seem to meet a much greater need in our area. Also for the record, ranking 13 values, most to least aligned, is an absurd request. It's hard to see how you can get any usuable information from a poorly designed "questionnaire" such as this.

There is no glider port that has such great access to the front range anywhere near Boulder, so losing this would be a great loss for the aviation community.

Aviation is a passion for many in our community and Boulder is among the best places to fly in the nation. I was once an active athlete enjoying the trails, roads and open spaces here in Boulder. I am not physically unable to do the outdoor activities that so many do here in Boulder. I am, however, able to fly and doing so from our local airport is an incredible option for many of us. The 7-8 year waitlist for hangar space is a testament to how important aviation is to many in our community. The airport is the ONLY place to build more hangar space or expand aviation operations. There are no other location options. Using airport property for other projects/activities is counterproductive and harmful to the future of aviation here. Anonymous 4/17/2023 10:23 AM I think the airport property could be put to better use with housing and neighborhood level mixed use development. Now it's primarily used for recreation by a small group of people and the land would be better re-purposed to serve the needs of the broader community. the need for runways in emergencies (like wildfires and floods) could be addressed through shared use with other nearby airports.

When the flood in '13 and fire in '12 occurred, the airport served as a local landing ground for emergency workers and planes. Anonymous 4/17/2023 03:17 PM Boulder Airport has historically been a small general aviation community airport. Its main highlights have been an attractive airport for the local community including flight training students, an important staging area for disaster and emergency services, a hub for innovative research, and a world class glider port. Many Boulder community members, including children, have taken their flight training at KBDU, and moved on to careers in aviation. Boulder airport is home base for several 501(c)(3) non-profits that provide opportunities for local youth engagement, aerospace education, and emergency services. Boulder Airport should continue this role into the future and not try to morph into a more corporate style airport with significantly increased turbine traffic. I believe the current runway length will not support such traffic and moving in that direction would result in significantly increased noise and noise complaints, and in turn would be something the Boulder Community would come to regret. Boulder Airport does need development if we want to modernize the facilities there, most of which date to the 1960s or earlier. New hangar space is desperately needed both by aviators seeking to protect their aircraft, and for revenue into the airport fund. A new fuel farm of appropriate size is needed to replace the aging in- ground tanks. Re-development or replacement of the airport terminal would be desirable and would facilitate improvements in FBO Questionnaire - English : Survey Report for 06 April 2023 to 04 May 2023 Page 81 of 129 Attachment 4 - Questionnaire 1 Results Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 237 Packet Page 353 of 1201 services. Some attractive spaces should be allocated for the general public who enjoy coming to the airport, often with their kids, to watch the aviation activities. Given that the area west of Foothills Parkway is basically a food desert, the development of a restaurant / food venue would be of immense value to the airport, and the surrounding business and residential communities. Boulder has an opportunity to assume a leadership role in moving towards a more sustainable version of aviation. This might include early adoption of unleaded fuels, aircraft that use less fuel, electric aircraft (large capacity charging Infrastructure will be needed), and aircraft that make less noise, as well as in the emerging arenas of Urban Air Mobility and Advanced Air Mobility (do we want Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft operating out of downtown Boulder, or at the airport?). Significant planning and resources will be needed to take such a leadership position, and Boulder should be prepared to incentivize (i.e. funding beyond the airport enterprise fund) the sustainable measures that it wants to see emerge at Boulder Airport. The airport could truly extend its role as a community resource if it were to incorporate some STEAM based educational facilities, hangar space for aviation based non-profit entities, and community based meeting spaces. The goal should be to both bring the airport to the community, and the community to the airport such that there is a better understanding of the overall value of the airport to the Boulder Community.

Anonymous 4/17/2023 05:03 PM Enlarging the airport would only be for more airplanes, helicopters and transportation that is fed by "fuel" that leave their carbon footprint. It creates the reverse of what Boulder has strived to achieve with Environmental Sustainability. It would further effect the two large mobile homes areas located nearby - which are for those with low incomes and students. This would further push out those who have are in low-income and further take away their rights to live in their homes. There are no possibilities of the mobile homes being moved for many of the tenants.

I also don’t see recreational air travel to be an environmentally sustainable activity. That said there are many activities that could be in that category (resort skiing, for example, which I do enjoy). My vision would be that whatever the usage or non- usage of the space is, that the noise impact is reduced dramatically. There are certain planes that shake homes on the opposite side of 28th, early in the morning. The economic and recreational impact of the airport needs to be balanced against folks that really don’t see much, if any, benefit for the airport being around. Anonymous 4/17/2023 09:12 PM Pilots do not seem to follow the published flight plans. Many pilots fly way to low and make too much noise over the areas around the airport.

In addition, we need this airport space as wildland fires increase. We need the close helicopter space and space for small slurry bombers. Jeffco and Longmont are too far when we have a fire near Boulder. Anonymous 4/18/2023 09:26 AM The airport is a really important community asset, especially as transportation (and air-based transportation, in particular) is on the cusp of major changes, which could serve to revolutionize Boulder's sustainable connection to other nearby cities. Taking drastic action before this process has a chance to play out would be short-sighted and foreclose on our community's opportunity to be at the forefront of sustainable innovation in the aviation space. Our airport is currently an important economic driver for the community, a hub for scientific research, an important education and training center for future pilots and young persons interested in aviation and STEM-related careers, and a key emergency response center in times of crisis/disaster. Ideally, I'd like to see all of these existing uses supported with strategic community investment, and I'd also like the airport to be more comprehensively incorporated into the community -- let's make it a place that is welcoming and vital for everybody in our community. A future airport could be a lively business area, a gathering site (with community space, restaurants, and educational facilities), and an important node in the region's evolving transit network. Some of the proposals/conversations that have been floated about bulldozing the site to provide for housing (a single use that the city could very well satisfy elsewhere) would be incredibly short-sighted and would result in the irrevocable loss of an important community economic, education, research, and emergency response asset. Do we really need to give up an important community asset to solve a problem that could literally be addressed in dozens of other places across the city? I'd much rather see the city's planning and zoning commissions revise their approach to higher-density and infill housing than to cede a valuable, multi-use community resource to (partially and temporarily) address a single priority. This is a terrible idea that gives up too much Questionnaire - English : Survey Report for 06 April 2023 to 04 May 2023 Page 86 of 129 Attachment 4 - Questionnaire 1 Results Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 242 Packet Page 358 of 1201 to insulate other constituencies in the city from having to take part in conversations about how to make needed changes to zoning, code, density, and growth city-wide.

It would be amazing to have more hangar space as well as a longer runway especially on the high density altitude days in the summer with a heavy load when it takes a little bit more ground roll to get off the ground. I think closing the airport, using the land for other purposes, or further constraining the amount of land the already small airport has would be a very big detriment to the city of Boulder. Anonymous 4/18/2023 10:08 AM We live right near the airport and I appreciate that it exists. I believe it's very important for Boulder to continue to have an airport. To me, it's unthinkable that a 100k+ city would consider doing away with its airport. I feel the airport is vital for things like fire mitigation and other emergency services, and I believe that we're not far off from the widespread use of electric air "taxis." When these come on the scene, Boulder is going to want to be one of the locations where they're available. I do think the airport should institute a ban on leaded fuel and reduce noise and light pollution. Anonymous 4/18/2023 11:43 AM Boulder Municipal is a must have in the community.

I participate in non-profit activities with teens there, but also in gliding activities and general aviation. This has been a great place for all of these activities which reinforces the university research interests and strengthens the aerospace department. Indeed, many university employees are members of the community, but so are individuals in tech and in the industry. I understand that people living around the airport might want to see some changes in the flying operations and I think those middle grounds can be reached: there is plenty of space! Anything harsher than a civil conversation about how to make everyone get along regarding noise and such would greatly damage one of Boulders amazing sources for knowledge and employment. I see the airport slightly improving some of it’s operations for everyone’s happiness, but also increasing the accessibility. If some have not seen this place as the hub that it is, it might be because people need to come see it for themselves. More community outreach and even affordable flying experiences would help everyone see what the airport has to offer.

Boulder Airport is particularly well suited to gliding/soaring and is internationally recognized as one of the premier soaring locations in the United States. It has enjoyed more than 60 years of continous soaring activity and has produced many National Champions and Internationally ranked glider pilots. Boulder Airport is not particularly conducive to Business Jet activity due to runway elevation, length and noise considerations. Fortunately, Rocky Mountain Metro Airport (10 miles away) is well suited and conveniently located for those needing access to business aviation services. Anonymous 4/19/2023 10:03 AM The Airport should match "Boulder", sustainable flying like small aircraft and gliders, support of research and small innovative business. We do NOT want an airport that caters to jet and turbine traffic. It is contrary to "Boulder". Anonymous 4/19/2023 10:19 AM Ready access for those who use the facility for flying or parachuting, and for those in the surrounding community. Welcoming to small aircraft. This is a small airport not suited to larger aircraft. Sensitive to noise issues - i.e. a good neighbor to the extent possible. Anonymous 4/19/2023 10:27 AM I would like Boulder to continue to have a municipal airport to support general aviation (including soaring) and a limited amount of private business traffic. Considering its proximity to densely populated areas, size and type of aircraft allowed should be limited. If allowed at all, jet traffic should not be increased. The airport should do everything possible to encourage the transition to electric aircraft. Anonymous 4/19/2023 10:44 AM Keep it as it is The open space around the area is great. Traffic is already tough through our neighborhood because of people using this road as a shortcut. It’s dangerous for runners, bikers and our children who use this road. I do not want to see this area developed as it would make the land we purchased here much more dangerous and significantly less valuable. Anonymous 4/19/2023 10:51 AM I'd like to see the airport continue and lean into its historic role as an incubator of a diverse program of small-scale aviation, while continuing its long-standing purpose as an operations center in case of emergencies such as fires and floods that affect the city.

We also have business aviation bringing small airplanes in. We don’t want to inhibit the airport operations or it will affect city business and the economy. Anonymous 4/19/2023 01:43 PM I think having our small airport is a treasure to the city especially with the future of travel.

In years past, the airport was a hub of transportation and community. A shockingly diverse group (I would argue more diverse than anywhere in the city, other than maybe the University) from all over the country would gather to collectively to form a community of aviators reveling in the this beloved tradition that spans back over a century. Aviators would participate in community events, competitions, introductions to flight, and historical learning events, all funded by themselves but built to spread community. The community consisted of every type of aviator, including but not limited to, helicopter, fixed wing, both jet and propeller driven, and glider (I am not a glider pilot, but I gather that we have one of the world's most premier "soaring" locations), ultralight pilots, even skydivers. This community was, and is, made up of every type of person, regardless of race, gender, orientation, creed, religion, disability, or any other otherwise dividing factor. The only barriers to entry into the aviation community are a love of aviation and the desire to improve one’s abilities. Unfortunately, decades of misguided regulations and unfounded prosecution have reduced the airports vitality to the most dedicated. It has not reduced those who would fly regardless, instead, it has reduced the outreach of the community. No longer, or at least less so, are there “Airport Days”: festivals to celebrate this tradition and bring its joy to others in the community. Rather now, you have the die-hard pilots that can and will fly as often as able. At one time, business boomed at the airport. Not only were there many businesses on the airport itself, catering to the aviation industry, which were very vital. But there was also a huge passthrough benefit. The ease of flying into Boulder and passing on to businesses in the city was heavily utilized and a powerful benefit to the economy in Boulder. Due to regulation, disrepair, and lack of community, this passthrough business has been slowly leeched, or more accurately pushed, to Broomfield with Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport. And do not mistake this to still benefit the city of Boulder; business has and will follow to Broomfield (“Why drive to Boulder when I can do this in Broomfield”, they will say). You can see this trend in untold number of small towns throughout the mid-west, that die as small airports are pushed out to more consolidated large airports. This also has a rarely thought of safety and environmental impact as well. Safety, as the General Aviation (GA) has a shockingly excellent track record, when you compare the flights per accident rate, vs something like that of driving, or even that of larger commercial operations. It is rarely thought of, but the environmental impact cannot be understated. GA flights are notably less impactful to the environment than large commercial aircraft, in that of carbon emissions and use of fossil fuels, even more so when you account for the ground transportation involved to get to and from Denver International Airport Questionnaire - English : Survey Report for 06 April 2023 to 04 May 2023 Page 95 of 129 Attachment 4 - Questionnaire 1 Results Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 251 Packet Page 367 of 1201 (even with the toll road). If Boulder Airport was large enough to accommodate, this could even be expanded to mountain traffic, people going up to Vail or such to ski and recreate. But this could only be accomplished with increased land, funding, de-regulation, and community. I beg you not to make the mistake of thinking of the airport as expendable, and the community as passing on. The flight school thrives, and pilots are more needed now than ever. This was and could be again a hub of all the best things about Boulder city, but if the powers that be cave to the misguided complaints of the people that came long after the aviation community and the airport itself, it can only do damage to Boulder, and not one thing positive. Instead, press forward. Drive the community, economy, and innovation that would be inherent in pumping vitality into the airport. Funding to bring the facilities into the modern era, city sponsored events to increase the community and awareness of this noble tradition, grants for projects to expand, in whatever way, reducing the pricing of the fuel, and de-regulation of each facet of the industry as a whole will only benefit the community and city of Boulder as s whole. Do not cowardly shy away from aviation, as aviation will never truly go away, but rather embrace it and let it pull Boulder forward as a whole. Anonymous 4/20/2023 08:04 AM I envision the airport as a special purpose park. It is one that supports many types of aerial activities. These activities should be both recreational and educational. The infrastructure and activities should reflect the sporting, and adventurous nature of Boulder. The airport should have aviation infrastructure that supports and encourages gliders, sky diving, experimental aircraft, personal/family transportation, training, acrobatics, medivac, and forest fire mitigation.

The mix of various forms of aviation is important to maintaining the vibrant flying community. Anonymous 4/20/2023 09:31 AM When I first visited Boulder in 1982 from Washington DC, I glided with a friend and flew a in a Cessna 182 with a different friend up to Saratoga WY. These epic experiences opened me up to the unique and special place that Boulder is. They were vital in my decision to moving here permanently, where I met my wife and started a family. I firmly believe that zero changes need to be made to the airport except for necessary safety upgrades. Gliding, even if you are not in the aircraft, is a magical thing to behold - no noise or emissions (once detached from the tow plane) and is an integral differentiator that can never be replaced if taken away. Anonymous 4/20/2023 09:43 AM #1 is the elimination of the current services provided by the airport as they are polluting (noise and air, including lead pollution from leaded aviation fuel), not to mention unsustainable in regards to climate change (using a gas-powered vehicle for recreation or limited passenger transportation and/or to launch a glider so the affluent can have a hobby/thrill-seeking adventure). The new vision is a community that is in alignment with climate action plans/goals and that provides affordable housing for those who are among the 60,000 plus daily in-commuters (including housing for the many City of Boulder employees who can't afford to live here but should be valued as members of the community that they serve!). This community would be mixed use with a well thought out plan to minimize car- based transportation and maximize mobility by bike/scooter/public transportation by connecting it with existing multi-use and RTD infrastructure. Anonymous 4/20/2023 10:00 AM A place for all types of aviation enthusiasts to have a relaxed and fun place to fly their ultralight, light aircraft, gliders, and general aviation.

Anonymous 4/20/2023 11:40 AM I believe that our community is better for having the airport at its current size and location. I believe the level/amount of civil and commercial aviation that it supports can give local access to viable careers for the local community. In addition the constant visibility of aviation and the related activities can foster the "If I can see, I can be it" effect for aviation careers. Going forward, city or county investment in pathways to these careers could very easily leverage the current airport infrastructure and surrounding businesses to promote entry into this industry. Anonymous 4/20/2023 11:56 AM I envision the airport as a special purpose park that supports many types of aerial activities both recreational and educational. The infrastructure and activities should (and currently do) reflect the sporting and adventurous nature of Boulder with aviation infrastructure that supports and encourages gliders, experimental aircraft, personal/family transportation, training, acrobatics, medivac, and forest fire mitigation. Additionally, electric self-launch gliders and tow-planes should be deployed in the next decade to help mitigate noise. I think this vision will happen with little intervention to the airport or it's operators purely through technological advances that are occurring now with electric aviation. Boulder Municipal Airport is truly a gem in Boulder's crown that has the side benefit of being an extremely powerful tool for disaster relief during both flooding and forest fires.

Anonymous 4/20/2023 07:52 PM I imagine it would be open for anyone who wants to use it to fly their aircraft or other sky activities. Anonymous 4/20/2023 09:07 PM Aviation has played a large part in US history. It is important to have local airports that can support flight training, non-commercial (general) aviation, business aviation, recreational aviation etc. One example is gliding. Gliding (soaring) has been taking place at the Boulder Municipal Airport since 1959. The Soaring Society of Boulder is one of the most important and successful gliding clubs in the country and the world. Many records have been made from the Boulder airport. One vision for the airport would be to enhance the airport for glider use. Currently the glider operations cannot have hangers for the aircraft (gliders). Airport improvements could change that situation. In general there is a shortage of hangers at the airport (for powered aircraft) this could be enhanced. Improvements to the infrastructure can make the airport even more economically important than it currently is (and it is economically important). The country needs trained pilots. There is a current shortage. Flight schools are important in ensuring more young people have an opportunity to enter the aviation field and become pilots. It is important to keep flight training activities in Boulder. Aircraft design is constantly improving. Electric power is becoming more important. With the appropriate support, Boulder Municipal Airport can play a part in the increased environmental sustainability of aviation. All too often cities and communities do not support their local airports. They take short sighted visions to repurpose the land. Once that is done - it is done Questionnaire - English : Survey Report for 06 April 2023 to 04 May 2023 Page 99 of 129 Attachment 4 - Questionnaire 1 Results Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 255 Packet Page 371 of 1201 forever. Just like if you turn park land into developments - the park is then gone forever. A longer term vision recognizes the importance of aviation to the community, the City, the County, the State and the Country and invests in that long term (and sustainable) future, by investing in the local airport. The federal government recognizes how important this is - which is why there are so many federal grants available to support airport improvements. In recent years the Boulder Municipal Airport has been an important base for disaster recovery efforts (flood, fire). Medical helicopters use the airport. US Presidents have used the airport. These are just a few examples of how important the airport is and how its continued support is important to the community. Anonymous 4/21/2023 08:30 AM I would not be opposed to closing the airport .There are 3 airports close by. I lived in Superior CO and dealt with the noise ,low flying aircraft , corporate jets, flight schools, arrogance of management of Rocky Mountain airport.

Anonymous 4/21/2023 10:07 AM The airport is an important asset for the city and county. It is important during fire fighting operations, it was a haven for evacuees during the floods. Don’t build housing here. Keep it as a buffer between the city and county. Anonymous 4/21/2023 10:56 AM I see the future of Boulder Airport to continue much as it has over the past decades. "If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it". It is an important element of the community and serves many purposes from gliding and other recreational aviation, to business and scientific aviation, to emergency assistance such as fire fighting, etc. The people's voices yelling that the "sky is falling" are simply wrong.

Anonymous 4/21/2023 05:15 PM Boulder KBDU needs to remain open as an economic artery to the community with infrastructure improvements. Once an airport is closed down and redeveloped, a community can never have an airport again in this day and age. They are gone forever. Neighboring NIMBY homeowners and greedy developers such as Markel Homes only take a short-term view of the consequences of closing an airport. There are already very few non-towered Front Range airports in the area (specifically, Longmont and Erie) which cannot alone meet the needs of the local community if KBDU were to be shuttered.

The airport was where I once received my livable income. It was the place where I gained all of my knowledge, skills, and experience that I use today in my career as an airline pilot. With the ongoing pilot shortage, I vision Boulder to grow in the flight training department allowing the next generation of local pilots to have the same experiences I did. I vision the airport to maintain its glider operations being the word class glider port it is. I couldn’t imagine taking that away as Boulder is unlike anywhere else in the world. My vision for the airport is to be governed correctly and not have some crook come in and try to “fix” something that’s not broke. The safety record at Boulder Airport in the past decade is impeccable. It seems that the current airport manager is against the airport, against the people, and acts more like a dictator. A manager should be a leader in the community and be fore the aviation people and society. My vision is not to use the land for anything else other than what it’s currently used for.

It is a health hazard for those of us who live under the flight paths. They should do a better job of not flying over houses. We would also prefer they fly at higher altitudes- often they fly really low over our homes and it’s noisy. I’m a (not current) glider pilot so I support it’s existence, but I think it’s currently a nuisance without better flight path governance of approach and takeoff patterns. Ideally it would be moved further outside of town. Anonymous 4/22/2023 11:19 AM It should remain an airport.

Anonymous 4/22/2023 06:39 PM I hear airport noise quite frequently here in Gunbarrel. Large hangers for more jets and a tower will only increase the noise - I am not in favor. I LOVE the gliders and have taken a ride in one. What a great place to do so in beautiful Boulder. I love the prospect of electric, self- launching sailplanes and electric towplanes too which are significantly quieter than ICE aircraft. Anonymous 4/22/2023 07:53 PM I see the airport continuing its role as an important part of the city’s transportation infrastructure. It directly supports aviation businesses and research facilities, and people use it to visit the city and to do business here. The airport is valuable as a base for emergency response, and it supports recreational aviation and the associated businesses. The airport is in an ideal location near an industrial park, away from most of the population of the city but close enough for convenient access. Most of the other ideas for use of the land would not fit well there or would need significant road improvements to make work. Boulder should continue to support its airport and make investments to increase the airport’s value to the city. Thank you. Anonymous 4/23/2023 06:17 AM Protect and grow glider operations.

Anonymous 4/24/2023 10:08 AM The airport should remain a vital community asset. It has historically contributed in many ways, with many gaining their aviation training at the airport -- including university students who went on to careers either in aviation directly, or in science, engineering, etc. The airport has made contributions to science through NCAR/UCAR-related and other programs. Our aviators have competed successfully at national and international levels. I see this as continuing. At the same time, I would not want to see any attempts to morph it into what it can never be -- i.e., a larger, towered airport. We already have several of these that are near enough. Like Boulder itself, the airport should strive to maintain at least something of its smaller feel. Having lived in Boulder since 1971, I understand that change is inevitable, but it is not inevitable that Boulder simply lose all of its local charm, one part of which is its smallish airport that accommodates a variety of creative aviation activities.

Boulder County has an area of 470,000 acres; the 160 acres of the Boulder Municipal Airport, although within the city, represent a minuscule fraction of this area. If land for commercial/residential/etc development is essential to future growth, perhaps the city and county can work together to achieve these ends while preserving key infrastructure. Closing the airport to achieve such ends seems very short-sighted; however I’m sure most real estate developers would disagree.

Anonymous 4/26/2023 01:59 PM If the airport stays we need to limit the number of flights. So many pilots buzz the nearby neighborhood and the noise pollution is just terrible. Strictly enforce flight patterns that do not go over neighborhoods. If the land is redeveloped, make it mixed use so that everyone living there does not have to get in a car to do anything. Anonymous 4/26/2023 02:56 PM I live in Vista Village mobile home park right next to the airport and was unable to attend the first session that was held there. The only benefit to the community that I see the airport having is for emergency services, such as a refuel station for wildfire fighting aircraft. I would be interested in knowing the details of how vital services such as that rely on the airport. Every time I am up there it is completely empty except for the hobbyists who own planes for fun. My taxes pay for that. About once a week on average there are very loud aircraft that can be a nuisance and add to noise pollution. Not to mention concerns about other types of pollutants that have been bought up. I would also be interested in knowing how many people who Questionnaire - English : Survey Report for 06 April 2023 to 04 May 2023 Page 105 of 129 Attachment 4 - Questionnaire 1 Results Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 261 Packet Page 377 of 1201 responded to this questionnaire said they use the airport on a regular basis. I'll bet it's not very many. The airport should be repurposed for desperately needed affordable housing. Dare I write it, manufactured housing, which would serve as a real asset that the city would not even need to subsidize. If the modular housing factory that has been proposed on East Arapahoe is built, then there would be a way to build the needed volume of manufactured housing just down the road. Whenever adding manufactured housing stock is mentioned the usual Boulder prejudice and stigma of trailer trash kicks in to the so- called equity-minded city. I am admittedly being overly sarcastic on that point. However I have noticed a long time pushback against manufactured housing being added to the city. The main cautionary concern to repurposing the vast city owned land at the airport for new housing is the traffic concerns. Airport Road has only one outlet. If vast amounts of housing were to be added it would create a massive amount of new traffic on Airport Road. New outlets connecting to Valmont Road and Independence Road to the north of the airport would have to be added. Otherwise the traffic congestion would be unmanageable and create absolute chaos. Of course the viability of the needed infrastructure (electric, water lines, etc) would also need to be evaluated. I think an important question to ask is: Do the benefits of having that land used as an airport outweigh the benefits of using that land for something else, namely housing? Thanks.

Anonymous 4/26/2023 03:44 PM I think the airport is fine as it is. I support its use for private aircraft, scientific research, and gliding operations. It's a terrible location for housing development -- it's not close to jobs, commerce, entertainment, or recreation. The traffic increase would be tragic for the surrounding streets -- and given its location and access to public transportation, nearly every trip from the airport area, if housing were to be developed, would require the use of a car. Of all of the possible places in Boulder to build additional housing, the airport location is probably the worst. The airport would be a great place for a large emergency shelter. It's obvious that more severe weather events are in our future. And, as the Marshall fire demonstrated very clearly, having emergency housing available is critical. To force thousands of people to scramble for a place to stay when their house is burning to the ground is terribly irresponsible on the part of the local government. If people that are directly impacted by severe weather events -- or any event that forces them from their homes immediately -- knew there was a place nearby where they could stay, they would be able to focus on other urgent matters -- such as the safety of their Questionnaire - English : Survey Report for 06 April 2023 to 04 May 2023 Page 106 of 129 Attachment 4 - Questionnaire 1 Results Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 262 Packet Page 378 of 1201 families and pets.

I've lived by the airport for 54 years and enjoy seeing the planes and gliders. It was nice to have the outdoor movies during covid. It unites the community with the Father's Day show and the hangar dances and other activities. I would, however, like to see the flight pattern followed for safety reasons.

Until recently the owners of small piston-driven general aviation aircraft had no choice. But in the last few months the FAA has approved unleaded fuel for these aircraft. Currently unleaded fuel is not produced in large quantities but production is ramping up. Boulder should require that the fixed-base operators at BDU eliminate leaded fuel the instant that it becomes available in quantity. It will cost the pilots more, but damaging the brains of Boulder children should not be an option we give them. This must be done in conjunction with Vance Brand and the other general aviation airports in the area. If not, pilots will just fly to them to fuel up in order to save a few bucks.

In 2000 I decided to buy a home in Boulder, rather than one of the other surrounding communities because we have a community airport. When I go to Metro, I am at an impersonal mini-DIA. When I go to Longmont, an airport that tried to be a mini-Metro, I am at a ghost town. When I climb the stairs into the terminal at Boulder, there is a Boulder community feel; KBDU it is such a wonderful place to fly out of. When I am not at our community airport, I still love looking up every day to see gliders on tow with that Questionnaire - English : Survey Report for 06 April 2023 to 04 May 2023 Page 113 of 129 Attachment 4 - Questionnaire 1 Results Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 269 Packet Page 385 of 1201 tow plane spiraling away after glider release. Even when I'm not at the airport or flying, KBDU enhances my life here in Boulder. Four years ago, my family joined in the partnership that bought Journeys Aviation and Mile High Gliding because we believed in Andrew McKenna's vision for growing the business and increasing the airports engagement with the community. On the business side, we have grown every year, including through the pandemic, and we continue to see growth opportunities today. On the community side, Andrew started an EAA chapter that provides Young Eagles flights and community events at the airport including the Boulder Airport Day. We partner with Wings Over the Rockies, the Civil Air Patrol and Falcon Aerolab, a STEM based program for homeschooled kids centered around flight, to introduce kids to flying through glider flights. And most Fridays in the summer there are burgers on the grill at lunchtime for anyone who happens to be there. On a personal note, I have wanted Journey's to be a leader in bringing unleaded fuel to Boulder. Recently we switched to AvFuel for our fuel contract because of AvFuel's partnership with GAMI, who has the first certified drop-in replacement for 100LL. I believe GAMI’s G100UL is the best route to bringing unleaded fuel to Boulder. GAMI is hoping to start distribution in 2024. The distribution will start with some of the larger flight schools such as Embry Riddle, but our AvFuel representative, David Mittleman, lives in Louisville, and considers KBDU his community airport, so he is motivated to help us bring G100UL to KBDU as soon as possible. And we want to bring electric aircraft to Boulder. We are in the process of bringing two Pipistrel light trainers on-line. Pipistrel currently has the only operational electric trainer on the market. It is certified in Europe, and with the operational experience we'll gain by flying their av-gas trainers, we will be positioned to bring them to Boulder as soon as they are certified here. KBDU does need additional revenue. First and foremost, we need to build more hangers. And we definitely need more business development that is compatible with the existing airport environment. Boulder is a wonderful community airport, let’s build on that in a way that doesn’t disrupt the current operations, especially glider operations. Airplane noise is a real issue. Educating our pilots on the noise abetment procedures is a never-ending priority. And with the specific noise complaint data that has been generated over the past year, Andrew has been able to educate individual pilots on flights that should have been flown differently. The results have been positive. We will continue to be good neighbors and do this. We also ask that the City take seriously the need to expand the airport influence zone to include the area north of Arapahoe under the glider tow box. Does the new development on the northside of Old Tale Road include Avigation Easements? It is right under the glider tow box, so it should; but since it is not in the airport influence zone, it probably does not. Can we fix this? Please make sure before any re-zoning happens in the East Boulder Subcommunity that avigation easements are Questionnaire - English : Survey Report for 06 April 2023 to 04 May 2023 Page 114 of 129 Attachment 4 - Questionnaire 1 Results Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 270 Packet Page 386 of 1201 included. I live in the Eisenhower neighborhood just south of Arapahoe, and work at Ball (yes, I get to walk to work!). I am excited about the transformation that the new zoning will enable...the new residents just need to know there is airplane noise. I am proud to be part of our airport community. I believe the Boulder airport is an important part of the Boulder community, and that the airport is something that our City should be proud of and support. Thank you.

However, in the past few years, air traffic has increased. One now sees more touch and goes, plus helicopters and ultralights. This leads to more noise and air pollution and the risk of accidents. I deal with the noise by wearing a noise cancelling headset with music when sitting on my patio. However, if I have a party, the roar from planes can be very annoying. I have seen a few near accidents. There used to be one flight school here. I have heard that now other flight schools especially those at BJC in Broomfield come up here to train the pilots thus the increase in touch and goes. Unfortunately many pilots in the last few years no longer follow the airports good neighbor flying recommendations. This is a large piece of land that serves a small number.

Anonymous 5/02/2023 02:27 PM The way I see it, we subsidize small airports, and most residents use them. It is a small few that have the luxury to own a plane and some that use the airport to recreate. I can see small airports that are remote and it is a necessity that they need this for emergency purposes, not a small airport SO close to the city (actually in the city) that creates more noise and pollution! The noise from small planes flying over to get a closer look at the Flatirons is pollution. And the tow planes are noisy too! I don't think we need to spend any more money to increase the use of small planes near our City. How many people actually use the airport? Let them pay for improvements, they use it. I'd rather have money spent on helping the mentally and for people with substance abuse than for people flying small aircraft.

The airport could be improved with the three items described below. 1) Unleaded Aviation Fuel Options FAA approved options for unleaded fuel for use by piston aircraft already exist, but are not currently available at the Boulder airport. The airport could be improved to provide these options. The two fuel options are “MoGas” which is 93 octane gasoline that does not contain alcohol (ethanol) and the recently approved G100UL 100 octane fuel. G100UL has been approved by the FAA for use in all spark ignition piston aircraft engines, which is the vast majority of aircraft based at the Boulder airport. “MoGas” has a more limited set of approved engines. Use of either fuel requires a Supplemental Type Certificate to be issued to each aircraft that will use the fuels, which commonly consists of the paperwork verifying the fuel can be used and placards (stickers) to be placed by the fuel tank caps indicating the acceptable use of those fuels. The cost of the STC is typically a one time cost of $200 to $500 per aircraft Boulder can encourage the use of unleaded fuels by 1) providing those fuels at the Boulder airport, 2) considering a STC rebate program to aircraft owners who have their aircraft based to offset the cost of the MoGas or G100UL STC, and 3) considering a fuel subsidy for G100UL to make it price equivalent to 100LL (leaded) fuel currently offered. This will encourage the use of those fuels by the aircraft most frequently Questionnaire - English : Survey Report for 06 April 2023 to 04 May 2023 Page 117 of 129 Attachment 4 - Questionnaire 1 Results Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 273 Packet Page 389 of 1201 operating at the Boulder airport. If only one unleaded fuel is to be chosen, I would recommend G100UL due to the FAA’s universal approval. Over time the use of current 100LL (leaded) aviation fuel can be reduced then likely eliminated at Boulder. I know that when I purchase an airplane I will prefer to use unleaded fuels in it, not only due to the lack of lead but for the likely increase in service life of the engine. 2) Improved/Additional Noise Abatement Informational Signage Nose abatement signage on the airport can be improved. This will inform and encourage all pilots, both those based at Boulder and those passing through to fly friendly. Other local airports have signage at hold short lines visible to pilots in an aircraft that specify noise abatement procedures. As an example: Longmont airport a sign specifies the minimum altitude for beginning a turn after departing runway 11. With aircraft required to hold short prior to taxiing on the runway, this is the perfect place for the signage. Boulder could have signs with the noise abatement instructions for that runway. (Runway 8 departures are very different than Runway 26 for noise.) A more general noise abatement sign could be placed at the common parking lots when pilots (and especially student pilots) arrive at the airport. 3) Electrical Upgrades In Hangars for Future Electric Aircraft and Zero Carbon Electricity Generation Just as we have seen an increase in capabilities of electric cars in the past decade, the future of aviation includes electric aircraft. But like electric cars, this requires a charging infrastructure. The current hangars in Boulder will require upgrades to support future electric aircraft. This will likely require upgraded electrical service to each hangar to support charging multiple aircraft simultaneously. The hangars at the Boulder airport as present an opportunity to offset the energy costs of electric aircraft and the airport in general. The roofs of the hangars are not shaded and are idea for deploying large scale solar panels. This can reduce the carbon footprint of the airport and help move the city towards a zero carbon energy future.

Importance of BDU for sustainable transportation, commercial freight and for people 2. While helis do offer some medical service, they don't need a runway. It's safe to say 95 - 98% of airport ops are sheer hobby. Even the flight training. What stats of students go onto commercial? We don't need 179 acres here. 3. The airport fiscally costs the city money and is not needed for emergency use. VBO and RMM are better. This myth has no data to back it. 4. I started my career flying at Boulder and now my job is flying cargo to keep the just-in-time supply chain going for American manufacturing. Boulder is a great home for my aviation life! 5. Keep nearly 300 jobs. 6. Please expand the viewing area at the airport so more families can come and safely be part of the airport community. 7. STEM for adults (build their own planes) 8. The airport is critical piece of transportation infrastructure 9. Leave space open. Space for spot landing 10. Viewing area. Great activity for little kids. 11. Agreed, unleaded fuel. 12. Lead issues being resolved by EPA and FAA. Newer airplanes don't use lead. 13. Save the airport. It is too important to the city of Boulder. 14. Airport. Rescue education. All necessary. 15. Super pro. Keep the airport. I love it. 16. If you insist on keeping the airport, airport manager must be availabe all day Saturday and Sunday. 17.

Please subsidize the used and switch to unleaded fuel. 4. Boulder can/should become an early adopter of new unleaded gas. 5. Why not offer unleaded fuel at the airport. The cessna's reportedly operate better on unleaded fuel. The lead in soil could also be from when cars ran on leaded. 6. Very few cities have the privilege of having on airport. Don't destroy this valuable asset! 7. FAA has approved at least one non/leaded fuel. When they bring it online - all planes will be required to use it. 8. Lead and other heavy metals exisit naturally here in the Rockies. And, lead will exisit in the soil irrespective of airplane emissions 9. With the concerns of lead in the soil. Augas is also offered "100 UL" or unleaded fuel. Compliant aircraft engines may safely run on this fuel. 10. Profound, low cost, inspirational programs such as civil air patrol cadets operate here to inspire future aviators. 11. Unleaded automotive gas available at Longmont. It should be available here. 12.

Walden Ponds - the airport noise on the weekdns at Walden ponds is very, very distrubing. It's not just people who are affected by the continuous take offs and landings. 20. Essential fueling site for BCU medivacs, incident command and response site in emergencies. 21. Positive; education opportunities for youth and underserved community 22. We need weekend airport manager - not leave message - solve the problem 23. Flying towerplanes is like a master class in situational awareness. It is a tremendous stepping stone for a career in aviation. 24. Airport access drives scientific groups to locate in Boulder. NEON 70 million per year budget is based in Boulder. 25. Unleaded aviation fuel is not far away - don't need to change policy for this issue to change in the near future. 26. Is there a suggestion that the runways are not compliant to FFA regs? Is so, how? 27. Sell unleaded fuel at BDU. Pilots will get the STC and use it. 28. Lead conversion to unleaded and electric and solar power 29. Efforts can be made to minimize noise and imporve flight paths and operations. 30. Why is it presumed that the Boulder municipal airport needs an alternative? At a time where wildfire risks are increasing shouldn't we want to maintain this valuable infrastructure for air based fire operations? 31. I would like to see an FBO operation for private jets. It will bring a lot more revenue for the county. More private hangers too. 32. We are neighbors to the north of the airport and we are very supportive of the airport. It is an incredible resource to the city and country and changes should be carefully considered.

Why are we talking about 180 acres at the airport? 10. We need affordable housing 11. Best opportunity in Boulder to develop middle income permanently affordable housing! 12. Housing is a much bigger problem than the airport can solve. Boulder needs denser housing. Closing the airport only means we lose valuable resources. It does not solve the housing problem. 13. If you want to reduce noise, please slow highway 36 speed between Table Mesa and Baseline. It is noisier than the airport. 14. Already exisits with apps like Flightaware 15.

In the last 6 to 7 years noise and pollution from the airport affect qualify of life in East Boulder. One guy in a plane and one guy in glider should have the power to disturb the children, animals and people who have to live with it over and their neighborhood. This airport was not a problem before the increase in traffic especially on weekends. 21. Existing residential areas should be upzoned. Not giving away public resources to a developer. 22. I vote for repurposing the airport land for housing that is affordable, with transportation going to all parts of Boulder. The airport currently: constributes to air pollution, uses fossil fuels, is a big noise contributor in my area (Northfield Village), Scares me when planes are so low over my house, is used by a tiny minory of residents the airport could be moved to less populated areas or at least, stop the "touch and go" training. 23. This isn't just a city of Boulder issue. All Boulder county residents who live in the airport area should be allowed and encouraged to weight in on this decision regarding the future of the airport.

NA procedures seem better than in many places, but some pilots would be unaware of them. Work on improving their visibility. 3. Living closer to the my flight schoool is a also an added benefit 4. Yes, I've lived next to KBDU for over 7 years and have had no issues to this day. 5. Which has not changed significantly since the airport was built. What impact on wildlife will all the homes have? 6. What alternative noise reduction and how? 7. Same concern of aiport community worried about retaliation on them and their families 8.

We should consider FAA planning process to further develop air operations, notably serving electric and unleaded flight. We should also seek FAA funds that increase airport operations transparency. 21. As a home owner here for decades the airport has gotten out of control in recent years. It gets worse every year. This is not "you move near an airport" it's what the culture is. This airport has become . 22. Airports is an important community resources: - Creates opportunities for local youth. Provides placement emergency sources. Trains future airlines pilots. 23. Please publish the schedule for Comm. Eng. Conv. And MP development. Is there enough time to get an honest land use study and then engage with the community? I understood MP would start this summer. That is not enough ime to get into we need for an informed decision. 24. Enhance current airport capabilities: Design for next generation fuels: 100 unleaded, electric. Maintain firefighting capability, medevac, search and rescue capabilities. Empower local students to pursue STEM and aviation careers. Bolster the Boulder economy with buisness access to the sky within the city. Present history of aviation to locals. Provides glides flying capability to Colorado's north - a really unique instutution. Don't fall victims to predatory development practices. 25. This open house feels biased. Given that it's paid for by BDU operations and thus the tenants. This is not surprising, but very disappointing. We need an honest balanced comprehensive land use study. Citizens need this in order to be fully informed then we can have a conversation. 26. To the city council - By sessing "credits" from the "developers" to be used somewhere, anywhere else, you have eliminated any opportunity to combine income groups. The original idea was healthy, but has been destroyed. To demolish the airport, a viable economy, is foolish in my opinion. Boulder could be at the forefront of electric airplanes, why don't you pursue that? 27. Things that are plusses for Boulder - As seen as a huge taxpaying family since 1960 - Aerial ambulences have saved people lives, multiple times airport was turnedover to aerial firefighting - it was key in the formile fire ( My company was key during thatfire) and all other fires around boulder and Fort Collins, emergency hospital helicopters operate and train here, Trained aerial firefighters, backcountry alaskan critial transport, aerial survey pilots who fly enviromental research flew townplanes - that's were they gained experience. 2013 flood - Boulder was keyh to saving people (and pets) lives. Thousands of young eagles flights that introduce all sorts of children - some in conjuction with school STEM programs.

The airport is not used out of necessity for emergencies. It's convienient but not needed. RMMA VBO are more capable than BDU. Close BDU. 4. KBDU supports local education, economy, and public safety: maintaining it for the future of the city would be a positive investment for Boulder. 5. Light aircraft (w/lawnmower engines) are the only noise issue at the airport. Keep the airport 6. Helped with 2013 flood evacuation of Mtn. Towns! 7. Trying to close Boulder airport won't get rid of pilot on the front range. Just pilots know about KBDU's noise abadment. Pilots will be more likely to over fly the middle of Boulder and flat iron airport without KBDU. 8. Boulder airport is one of the last "mom and pop" airports on the front range in my opinion. As a former flight instructor at Jouney's and student at UWD. I believe mom and pop FBOs is one the most inclusive caring experiences for CU students and local community members. Boulder is your small business of traveling. 9. No other airports compare 10. Publish a study on what percent of the population is bothered by the airport. I see mostly support in the comments. 11. The airport is a great place for international students at CU Boulder to further their passion for aviation which is unafforadable or non-existent in their own countries. 12. Keep the airport!

A city of 100,000 needs an airport. Keep the airport. 31. Why tear up the airport. Plenty of vacant land nearby to build on just north of the airport for example. How much will the city have to reimburse FAA for improvements? 32. Keep the aiport like it is! There are so many people who use it. It makes our city more interesting. 33. EVTOL does not need a runway or "airport". Suspending 179 acres makes no sense. Close BDU. We can have housing and local business here for all. 34. The airport is where the ecosystem goes to die. Nothing regenerative here and it’s a huge polluter of noise, lead and carbon. We need to be better stewards of the area than serving a few of the population. 35. Airport is perfect.

You Outreach - KBDU has so much potential to provide aviation access for youth from all backgrounds. 17. The airport is a valuable, intergral part of the community. Pilot training, emergency services (fire and flood), research. Concerns about leaded fuel will go away in the next 3-5 years. Yes, the airport could be better with: 1. Voluntary noise abatement program enforcement. 2. Some airplanes are just too loud.

Unleaded fuel has been approved 2. Unleaded fuel is coming in +/- 2 years 3. City of Boulder - Leaded fuel is not good. Unleaded fuel is now available. Please subsidize the used and switch to unleaded fuel. 4. Boulder can/should become an early adopter of new unleaded gas. 5. Why not offer unleaded fuel at the airport. The cessna's reportedly operate better on unleaded fuel. The lead in soil could also be from when cars ran on leaded. 6. Very few cities have the privilege of having on airport. Don't destroy this valuable asset! 7. FAA has approved at least one non/leaded fuel. When they bring it online - all planes will be required to use it. 8. Lead and other heavy metals exisit naturally here in the Rockies. And, lead will exisit in the soil irrespective of airplane emissions 9. With the concerns of lead in the soil. Augas is also offered "100 UL" or unleaded fuel. Compliant aircraft engines may safely run on this fuel. 10. Profound, low cost, inspirational programs such as civil air patrol cadets operate here to inspire future aviators. 11. Unleaded automotive gas available at Longmont. It should be available here. 12. EPA tested for lead at the run-up areas of Longmont airport and found no lead newar actionable levels. 13. Why were school built in flight paths? 14. Please do not take away this wholesome program when our youth needs it more than ever. 15. No! The airport is part of the community. 16. Keep in mind that operations surrounding airports. Rm, Fort-Love, Erie, etc. All FH around the area and mostly don't land at Boulder's airport. 17. This would be very short sided. 18. First housing and then what?

Walden Ponds - the airport noise on the weekdns at Walden ponds is very, very distrubing. It's not just people who are affected by the continuous take offs and landings. 20. Essential fueling site for BCU medivacs, incident command and response site in emergencies. 21. Positive; education opportunities for youth and underserved community 22. We need weekend airport manager - not leave message - solve the problem 23. Flying towerplanes is like a master class in situational awareness. It is a tremendous stepping stone for a career in aviation. 24. Airport access drives scientific groups to locate in Boulder. NEON 70 million per year budget is based in Boulder. 25. Unleaded aviation fuel is not far away - don't need to change policy for this issue to change in the near future. 26. Is there a suggestion that the runways are not compliant to FFA regs? Is so, how? 27. Sell unleaded fuel at BDU. Pilots will get the STC and use it. 28. Lead conversion to unleaded and electric and solar power 29. Efforts can be made to minimize noise and imporve flight paths and operations. 30. Why is it presumed that the Boulder municipal airport needs an alternative? At a time where wildfire risks are increasing shouldn't we want to maintain this valuable infrastructure for air based fire operations? 31. I would like to see an FBO operation for private jets. It will bring a lot more revenue for the county. More private hangers too. 32. We are neighbors to the north of the airport and we are very supportive of the airport. It is an incredible resource to the city and country and changes should be carefully considered.

Has airport noise in the areas of the schools been measured road noise is? Much higher where I live than airport noise. 9. Boulder has 100K acres of open space. Why are we talking about 180 acres at the airport? 10. We need affordable housing 11. Best opportunity in Boulder to develop middle income permanently affordable housing! 12. Housing is a much bigger problem than the airport can solve. Boulder needs denser housing. Closing the airport only means we lose valuable resources. It does not solve the housing problem. 13. If you want to reduce noise, please slow highway 36 speed between Table Mesa and Baseline. It is noisier than the airport. 14. Already exisits with apps like Flightaware 15. Improve accuracy of flight map 16. Housing is coming to East Boulder. (E. Boulder subcomm. Plan). Are airport operations still compatible? 17. Everyone involved with the increase in density around the airport moved in with full knowledge of the airport's exisitence. They consciously chose to move next to our airport. They accepted it when it served their personal interest, but now want to deny its right to exist. 18. Expand the play area for kids to watch 19.

In the last 6 to 7 years noise and pollution from the airport affect qualify of life in East Boulder. One guy in a plane and one guy in glider should have the power to disturb the children, animals and people who have to live with it over and their neighborhood. This airport was not a problem before the increase in traffic especially on weekends. 21. Existing residential areas should be upzoned. Not giving away public resources to a developer. 22. I vote for repurposing the airport land for housing that is affordable, with transportation going to all parts of Boulder. The airport currently: constributes to air pollution, uses fossil fuels, is a big noise contributor in my area (Northfield Village), Scares me when planes are so low over my house, is used by a tiny minory of residents the airport could be moved to less populated areas or at least, stop the "touch and go" training. 23. This isn't just a city of Boulder issue. All Boulder county residents who live in the airport area should be allowed and encouraged to weight in on this decision regarding the future of the airport.

Importance of BDU for sustainable transportation, commercial freight and for people 2. While helis do offer some medical service, they don't need a runway. It's safe to say 95 - 98% of airport ops are sheer hobby. Even the flight training. What stats of students go onto commercial? We don't need 179 acres here. 3. The airport fiscally costs the city money and is not needed for emergency use. VBO and RMM are better. This myth has no data to back it. 4. I started my career flying at Boulder and now my job is flying cargo to keep the just-in-time supply chain going for American manufacturing. Boulder is a great home for my aviation life! 5.

We don't know what the future holds, regarding emergencies and climate issues. 34. For a walker on 4 mile trail - the noise of circling airplaces is unwelcome. I get that it's fun for them. 35. Airport generages revenue and supports medivac and rescue. Keep it and upgrade. 36. Friendships made at airport =community 37. Make airport self managed by person group who runs the FBO. 38. I was born and raised by the airport. It's been an invaluable experience for my life. Father and brother fly, my son is interested. 39. Get rid of paragliders/trespassers. 40.

Suppport air wildfire efforts. 45. Value of education and training at the airport is high. 46. Terminal Building could use a little updating. 47. BDU provides grounds for the local Civil air patrol squadron, which allows search and resuce training and prepare to be of service to Boulder. 48. There are too many general aviaion airports. Noise, lead and air pollution. Tear down the airport and build something that will benefit all. 49. KBDU is wonderful space for civil air patrol. It is great facility for our squadron to meet and educate youth about emergency services, aerospace education and leadership. 50. How can [we] attract more companies/research groups to use the airport? 51. The airport is a big part of why I moved to Boulder. 52. Consider tax and monthly revenues from hangers. 53. Recognition of importance of BDU for emergency services, rescue, wildfire, and hopsital. 54. The community needs the airport. 55. The future of aviation for small airports are invaluable to the communties they serve. 56. Airport despereately needs instrument procedures 57. Treat airport as recreation amenity like parks, golf course, etc. 58. "At the time of the next airport mast plan the city will work with the community to reassess the potential for developing a portion of the airport for housing and neighborhood serving uses." How did this throw away statement that most council members probably didn't even know was in the plan kick off a process that is threatening our airport? Other than investing in the aiport. Please change nothing. 59. I'm a master gardener. Plant some trees and O2 the air more around there. We have 650 three and are contributing O2 from pollution. 60. Importance of Airport. - Provide skills toward employment, youth eagles, exposure to flying for those who might not experience it, programs to rescue animals (via flights) Pilots and paws and animal rescuing.

I would like to see a proper FBO operation for private jets, planes and helicopters. This can bring highter revenues for the city and attract more investors. I run an aircraft detailing business in Aspen and Vail. The FBO is by far the most profitable part of those airports. 62. Airport is an important community resource. It provides strategic location for firefighting, mitagation, emergencies. Creates jobs to local youth and mentorship, Traings future airlines pilots for you to visit family and vacation time. 63.

I live next to a noisey school (air conditioning units) and would trade to live by the airport. 69. Longer runways for jets 70. Keep the airport alive. 71. I'd love to see the airport users and the airport complianers sit together and know each other. The city could invite the airport neighbors to take glider/power flights (city paid) to experience the magic of flight. 72. Save the airport for the future use.

We should consider FAA planning process to further develop air operations, notably serving electric and unleaded flight. We should also seek FAA funds that increase airport operations transparency. 21. As a home owner here for decades the airport has gotten out of control in recent years. It gets worse every year. This is not "you move near an airport" it's what the culture is. This airport has become . 22. Airports is an important community resources: - Creates opportunities for local youth. Provides placement emergency sources. Trains future airlines pilots. 23. Please publish the schedule for Comm. Eng. Conv. And MP development. Is there enough time to get an honest land use study and then engage with the community? I understood MP would start this summer. That is not enough ime to get into we need for an informed decision. 24. Enhance current airport capabilities: Design for next generation fuels: 100 unleaded, electric. Maintain firefighting capability, medevac, search and rescue capabilities. Empower local students to pursue STEM and aviation careers. Bolster the Boulder economy with buisness access to the sky within the city. Present history of aviation to locals. Provides glides flying capability to Colorado's north - a really unique instutution. Don't fall victims to predatory development practices. 25. This open house feels biased. Given that it's paid for by BDU operations and thus the tenants. This is not surprising, but very disappointing. We need an honest balanced comprehensive land use study. Citizens need this in order to be fully informed then we can have a conversation. 26. To the city council - By sessing "credits" from the "developers" to be used somewhere, anywhere else, you have eliminated any opportunity to combine income groups. The original idea was healthy, but has been destroyed. To demolish the airport, a viable economy, is foolish in my opinion. Boulder could be at the forefront of electric airplanes, why don't you pursue that? 27. Things that are plusses for Boulder - As seen as a huge taxpaying family since 1960 - Aerial ambulences have saved people lives, multiple times airport was turnedover to aerial firefighting - it was key in the formile fire ( My company was key during thatfire) and all other fires around boulder and Fort Collins, emergency hospital helicopters operate and train here, Trained aerial firefighters, backcountry alaskan critial transport, aerial survey pilots who fly enviromental research flew townplanes - that's were they gained experience. 2013 flood - Boulder was keyh to saving people (and pets) lives.

The airport is not used out of necessity for emergencies. It's convienient but not needed. RMMA VBO are more capable than BDU. Close BDU. 4. KBDU supports local education, economy, and public safety: maintaining it for the future of the city would be a positive investment for Boulder. 5. Light aircraft (w/lawnmower engines) are the only noise issue at the airport. Keep the airport 6. Helped with 2013 flood evacuation of Mtn. Towns! 7. Trying to close Boulder airport won't get rid of pilot on the front range. Just pilots know about KBDU's noise abadment. Pilots will be more likely to over fly the middle of Boulder and flat iron airport without KBDU. 8. Boulder airport is one of the last "mom and pop" airports on the front range in my opinion. As a former flight instructor at Jouney's and student at UWD. I believe mom and pop FBOs is one the most inclusive caring experiences for CU students and local community members. Boulder is your small business of traveling. 9. No other airports compare 10. Publish a study on what percent of the population is bothered by the airport. I see mostly support in the comments. 11. The airport is a great place for international students at CU Boulder to further their passion for aviation which is unafforadable or non-existent in their own countries. 12. Keep the airport! Maybe improve with some community features, parks? Better enforce noise abatement rules. Make airport attractive to non-pilots. 13. High speed rail not GA airports 14.

A city of 100,000 needs an airport. Keep the airport. 31. Why tear up the airport. Plenty of vacant land nearby to build on just north of the airport for example. How much will the city have to reimburse FAA for improvements? 32. Keep the aiport like it is! There are so many people who use it. It makes our city more interesting. 33. EVTOL does not need a runway or "airport". Suspending 179 acres makes no sense. Close BDU. We can have housing and local business here for all. 34. The airport is where the ecosystem goes to die. Nothing regenerative here and it’s a huge polluter of noise, lead and carbon. We need to be better stewards of the area than serving a few of the population. 35. Airport is perfect.

Author: Luis de Leon Published: 5:00 AM MDT April 12, 2023 Updated: 10:24 PM MDT April 11, 2023 BOULDER, Colo. — Community members filed into a lobby in Boulder Tuesday bringing with them curiosity and ideas about a property a few miles away – the Boulder Municipal Airport (BDU). According to the city, the airport is due for a new Airport Master Plan, which is a process that is guided by the FAA. “I think at this point we could go in a variety of different directions," said Boulder's Senior Transportation Planner Allison Moore-Farrell at the first of three open houses Tuesday night. But in a separate project, the city kicked off a community engagement process in preparation of the future master plan to "...understand the community's desired future for Boulder Municipal Airport and recommended next steps." The first of three open houses occurred Tuesday night. The final recommendation, the city said, are also based off of the city’s Transportation Master Plan and the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan. “It’s kind of exciting to hear some community voices in this," Moore-Farrell said.

A history lesson to guide understanding The city describes Boulder Municipal Airport as a general aviation airport. It started as a dirt landing strip in 1928, before the name was made official in 1943, according to presentations at the open house. It received its first federal grant in 1958, and additional land was bought between 1964 and 1969. But the type of aviation that occurred at the airport has largely stayed consistent, according to the airport's manager, John Kinney. “You don’t see too may jets coming in and out of the Boulder airport," he said, estimating that a private jet comes through BDU once every few weeks on most occasions. The airport itself is mostly used by glider pilots, recreational pilots and first responders. The airport also does not have a control tower like Broomfield and Centennial do. The airport is also not staffed 24/7, but did implement a flight tracking system in the spring of 2022. Attachment 5 - Public Open House 1 Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 396 Packet Page 512 of 1201 “Right now, I think the community has a thirst to become more part of this airport and I think the pilot groups also want to find a way of how do we bring the community more into this airport so its more of a harmonistic relationship," Kinney said. Credit: Foster Gaines The Boulder Municipal Airport terminal building. On the website's FAQ, when asked why the conversation about the airport is starting now, it references the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan, "...which guides long-range planning in Boulder..." In the plan's section on the airport, it states in part that, "The city will seek to mitigate noise, safety and other impacts of airport operation while assuring that new development in proximity will be compatible with existing and planned use of the airport." It also says that at the time of the next Airport Master Plan, "...the city will work with the community to reassess the potential for developing a portion of the airport for housing and neighborhood-serving uses." However, it remains unclear as of now which direction the city could move with the airport.

Analyzing potential City planners will take feedback before presenting proposals to council, but Moore-Farrell said it has to be a robust process with regards to community engagement. “So we’re looking at continuing safety at the airport and continuing our operations…can we also introduce other land uses? Can we look at other ways to improve community relations at the airport?" she said. While they have already received feedback on mitigating noise, they're also listening to feedback specific to aviation. “And some things we’ve heard thus far is looking at the future of aviation and how that could benefit the city of Boulder," she said. “Improvement can look different to different people." Kinney explained his take on the airport's potential on several levels. “Whether it’s people learning to fly, people understanding the economic value of an airport – what it brings in terms of tangible economic impacts to the community," he explained. "But at the same time not having the activities dominate or degrade the community’s quality of life to their homes.” The city plans to have two more open houses, and will keep an online questionnaire public until May 4.

The question posed to the CWG was “how can the airport and the community coexist?” Those who attended the open house were invited to share their experience and observations. CWG members shared shared the following: • Environmental Questions and Goals o There is concern about leaded fuel and the environmental impact. Interest in studying this impact if the airport is to remain in operation o A neighbor who lives within the flight path shared that their kids enjoy watching the airplanes. In their view, the city has limited growth intentionally through strong open space boundaries and should aim to stay on that path. o Some community members were surprised to learn that the aircraft at the airport uses leaded fuel. o Questions about the environmental needs of developing the site, there are fuel farms and other potential contamination of the site. Is alternative use possible? • Community Relations o If the airport is repurposed, there is interest in making sure the community is involved the development of the future uses. o There needs to be compromise on both sides, for example, removing unleaded fuel could be a compromise for environmental impact, but noise will remain a concern. o Neighbors in a community close to the airport reported that they would like to see community members work on more respectful communications. Residents should be prepared for airplane noise if they live near and airport. o Neighbors in a community near Jay Road did not want to see the airport close. They like the emergency services and scientific research operations at the airport. Some suggestions were opening a community center or café on the site. o An airport tenant and business owner reported that they spoke to their clients about the question of coexisting. They expressed frustration about being asked to coexist – they felt they already do as residents and businesses in the city. Attachment 6 - CWG 2 Meeting Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 404 Packet Page 520 of 1201 6 Boulder Municipal Airport Community Conversation o One member reported concerns about the future. They expressed worry that the desire for development will never end – wanted to instead focus on community involvement. o Concerns about retaliation from the aviation community, which has made some people resistant to share their opinion. o Interest from the community in learning about the community working group and the community conversation project. o The airport should find way to be more involved in the community. o It is important that the community work together to keep the ball rolling to implement changes and the vision. • Airport Economics o A CU Boulder student was surprised to learn there was an airport in Boulder. Would like to see if there is potential for commercial flights. o Neighbors expressed concern with the impact closing the airport would have on businesses that operate on the site. o Questions about what impact nearby GA airports would experience if BDU were closed. o Questions about the severity of the pilot shortage. Is commercial pilot training the purpose of the airport? If so, why is the city subsidizing this cost? • Alternative Use o Interest in exploring multi-modal solutions including bicycle access, transit- oriented development, and affordable transportation solutions in the area. o Individuals who do not live near the airport felt that the site should be repurposed. o One member expressed interest in seeing housing studied at the site. They also reported hearing concerns about unleaded fuel, noise and safety on the site. o Interest in addressing missing middle housing and affordable housing. o Neighbors didn’t mind the airport, but also expressed interest in affordable housing in Boulder. o Concern that any development would not be affordable housing and would instead be a luxury development that appeals to wealthy buyers. o This piece of land is interesting for the potential of affordable housing because it is owned by the city. Attachment 6 - CWG 2 Meeting Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 405 Packet Page 521 of 1201 7 Boulder Municipal Airport Community Conversation • Airport Operations o Do we need the touch and go’s at the airport? Are the different ways the airport can support training? o One member expressed interest in learning more about the potential of electric aircraft and providing space for emergency response training. o The community used to coexist with the airport, but something in the operations has changed in the last few years. Concerned with airport noise that goes on late into the evening hours. o Enjoy aviation activities but acknowledged that the airport needs to improve. o There are technological innovations possible in the future that may address noise and environmental solutions. o Concern with how the airport is being used, not with the airport itself. • Noise o One member spoke to people in their subdivision. Others agree that the noise from the airport has increased the last few years. o A neighbor close to the airport reports they are more bothered by traffic noise than airplane noise. o Implementing time limits on airport operations to address noise concerns. • Open House o There were many passionate people who attended the open house who shared interesting ideas on repurposing and maintaining the airport. o It was interesting to see people’s comments real time through the post-it notes. o Encouraged to see how many people turned out to the open house. o Enjoyed being able to connect with new people who are not connected with the airport and hear perspectives of the community. o One member reported that attending the open house opened their mind to the perspectives and concerns of the broader community. o Encouraged that young people who are in flight training attended they open house. They were enthusiastic about aviation and has a positive attitude. o Encouraged by the turnout, reported that it was the best attended open house they have been to. Evaluation Considerations Development Discussion In the second part of the meeting, planners provided a brief overview of how the scenarios would be developed for this project. The scenarios will be developed by implementing ideas and feedback gathered from the CWG, the open houses and community questionnaires. To develop these scenarios to be compatible with city of Boulder policy, all scenarios must be built in alignment with the Sustainability and Resilience Framework. This framework guides budgeting and planning processes by providing consistent goals necessary to achieve Boulder’s vision of a great community and the actions required to achieve them. This framework is included in its entirety in Appendix A. Attachment 6 - CWG 2 Meeting Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 406 Packet Page 522 of 1201 8 Boulder Municipal Airport Community Conversation The city will accomplish the vision of the Sustainability and Resilience Framework by building a community that is: • Safe • Healthy and socially thriving • Livable • Accessible and connected • Environmentally sustainable • Responsibly governed • Economically vital The CWG was invited to think about what actions might be necessary to make sure the scenarios meet Boulders goals. CWG members were asked to rank which values are most important to them and think about criteria that would be important to use to evaluate the airport scenarios. From the feedback provided by the CWG, the project team crafted some suggested evaluation considerations. The suggested evaluation considerations are attached in Appendix B. The feedback provided by the CWG is included as Appendix C. Attachment 6 - CWG 2 Meeting Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 407 Packet Page 523 of 1201 9 Boulder Municipal Airport Community Conversation Meeting Wrap Up Before the next CWG meeting, the project team will begin working on summarizing community feedback and developing scenarios.

Determine actions based on findings. Remove that 4th bullet [from Health and environmental impact] (want action not investigation) Better/more transparent data Dislike landing fees Technology leads to decreased noise Idea: Better bike access to the airport Keep the airport in commission Some of the noise action items are very unrealistic. Food trucks Idea: Bike facilities Add safety Be data driven What's missing? -industrial function/uses (non-aviation) -city functions/offices (ex. Emergency services, transportation, bus depot) -Can we think about 50+ years from now? Are there spaces to preserve as undeveloped for the future? Imagine an alternative transportation future -bike infrastructure Upgrades to the airport More community spaces Non-vehicular access between north and south side of airport Better bike path access to the airport Idea: want better non-vehicular access from the north to the south (especially if there is a restaurant) Attachment 8 - CWG 3 Meeting Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 475 Packet Page 591 of 1201 Attachment 8 - CWG 3 Meeting SummaryItem 2 - Airport Community Conversation UpdatePage 476Packet Page 592 of 1201 Attachment 8 - CWG 3 Meeting SummaryItem 2 - Airport Community Conversation UpdatePage 477Packet Page 593 of 1201 11 Boulder Municipal Airport Community Conversation Appendix D.

Draft Scenarios Feedback Attachment 8 - CWG 3 Meeting Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 483 Packet Page 599 of 1201 Scenario 1 Feedback Not enough community engagement What did we miss? -Unleaded fuel -Electric plane charging Minimizes city spending on a misunderstood asset Nothing good about this scenario Like infrastructure remains expedite use of unleaded fuel Scenario 1 Nothing new to offer Prevents expansion of operations Improves existing services Without noise control/lead control, does not solve problems Dislike status quo will create safety concerns Lame! Lets do better! Likes: -low cost -Balanced against other city priorities Dislikes: -We're already behind other area airports Def. need improved maintenance (snow removal) Don't like: Will do nothing for airport $$ wise or mitigate noise, pollution, safety Attachment 8 - CWG 3 Meeting Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 484 Packet Page 600 of 1201 Attachment 8 - CWG 3 Meeting SummaryItem 2 - Airport Community Conversation UpdatePage 485Packet Page 601 of 1201 Scenario 2 Feedback Like: electricity for electric gliders. Future electric tow- airplanes Glider area needs electricity, flattened parking, running water Still not welcoming to members of public/people who want to interact with airport activities Likes: -better option than scenario 1 Missing: -FBO improvement (financial help) Expedite use of unleaded fuel Dislike: -likely to exacerbate conflicts/impacts to neighbors-no clear incentive for better relationship with community Like: restaurant for community engagement Dislikes: not enough community Likes: -more community -reserve for future transport modes -Airport improves safety goes up Concerns that this scenario with additional hangars will increase the traffic at the airport -Add bike paths Better but overall, there are better way to use the airport Do not increase/upgrade glider Doesn’t really do enough to satisfy all stakeholders Community area Like: electricity for electric gliders and tow p Scenario 2 is a minimum starting point from which we can build upon Attachment 8 - CWG 3 Meeting Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 486 Packet Page 602 of 1201 Attachment 8 - CWG 3 Meeting SummaryItem 2 - Airport Community Conversation UpdatePage 487Packet Page 603 of 1201 Attachment 8 - CWG 3 Meeting SummaryItem 2 - Airport Community Conversation UpdatePage 488Packet Page 604 of 1201 Scenario 3 Feedback Love the idea of a community center and STEM learning center Concerns that additional hangars will increase the traffic at the airport -Add bike lanes Don't like: -this is 'aviation' renamed 'community' -too much ambiguity as to who/how it benefits Dislike: -adoption by community -length of time to activate What's missing? -what about distribution facilities in new models? Likes: -Fosters education -Fosters commerce -Fosters housing What other housing opportunities are possible that are compatible with the airport? No concept of how with impacts climate, wildlife or community. Self-policing has not proven to work Increase opportunities for youth Housing for emergency response Like: [illegible], park, education for community Scenarios 2+3 are best Scenario 3: Like: -like STEM learning (but must validate need w/ BVSD or CU) -Like restaurant…but need to validate Dislike: -Aviation museums don't work without LOTS of private philanthropy Not everyone wants cafe/restaurant. Its a draw for pilots = more air traffic As long as it genuinely compliments airport uses Expedite use of unleaded fuel See vision document for soaring society Like: Lots of good community benefits + outreach ?: Is there really a market for much community activity such as meetings, museum, broader education efforts? Attachment 8 - CWG 3 Meeting Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 489 Packet Page 605 of 1201 Will need investment in infrastructure for electrical aircraft and advanced mobility. The city needs to [illegible] what it wants +invest accordingly Boulder could be a leader in the future of sustainable aviation Consider repurposing existing building such as the ARC building for a STEM/community purpose vs take up land needed for hangar development Community area Do not increase/upgrade glider Scenario 2 would be the best for Boulder If we keep the airport this is the best plan Scenario 3: I like the idea of creating STEM learning center and vocational opportunities for local youths available to all youths Glide upgrade: area not much needed: -electricity -flattened parking -perhaps running water Would like spaces to draw community in Like: -electricity for electric gliders, future electric tow-craft Attachment 8 - CWG 3 Meeting Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 490 Packet Page 606 of 1201 Attachment 8 - CWG 3 Meeting SummaryItem 2 - Airport Community Conversation UpdatePage 491Packet Page 607 of 1201 Attachment 8 - CWG 3 Meeting SummaryItem 2 - Airport Community Conversation UpdatePage 492Packet Page 608 of 1201 Attachment 8 - CWG 3 Meeting SummaryItem 2 - Airport Community Conversation UpdatePage 493Packet Page 609 of 1201 Scenario 4 Feedback Like! Unique opportunity for middle income affordable housing Like the helipad suggest putting it on land purchased with FAA funding. Good compromise that allows emergency use This area already lacks schools and retail. Potential to meet current + future needs of residents Dislikes: Housing incompatible with existing heavy industry on Airport Blvd Dislike: Transportation & emergency hub gone forever Bring airport up to "Boulder" Standards Sustainable Alt transport Great Looking Likes: Employment hub Best option for the overall community and city needs Other than emergency service, the front range does not need this airport. Other uses are more pressing Solves noise and lead issues Like: -if you're going to do it build 13 floors very high density Dislike: -City doesn't have capacity to evaluate or "action" - look at Alpine-Balsm on Planning reserve -Food and shopping desert -City will not like "employment hub" Can support climate and environment. Is the safest option and most community benefit option. Can do pollinator plots. Middle income housing needed for city and people Opportunity for integrated transportation housing and mixed use Employment hubs? We need more housing! Current neighbors have spent $ improving city infrastructure to reduce traffic. This #4 exponentially explodes traffic and resource requirements This whole plan changes entire character of current rural neighborhoods Scenario #4 Does not consider other Boulder owned property for redevelopment More neighborhoods like Holiday or Vauban I believe this is the best and highest use of the land Housing will benefit the community, business and will reduce carbon Attachment 8 - CWG 3 Meeting Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 494 Packet Page 610 of 1201 Attachment 8 - CWG 3 Meeting SummaryItem 2 - Airport Community Conversation UpdatePage 495Packet Page 611 of 1201 Attachment 8 - CWG 3 Meeting SummaryItem 2 - Airport Community Conversation UpdatePage 496Packet Page 612 of 1201 13 Boulder Municipal Airport Community Conversation Appendix F.

Tuesday’s town hall will go from 4-6 p.m. at Via Mobility Services, 2855 63rd St. The project team will give a presentation at 4:30 p.m. and 5:20 p.m. Members of the public may come and go at any time, and there will also be activities for children and information available in Spanish. During the open-house style event, city staff will give general information about the airport, share an update on the project and ask for feedback on four potential scenarios for the airport site that were developed using feedback from previous community events and meetings. The four scenarios, in brief, are keep the existing airport with enhanced maintenance, upgrade and modernize the airport’s facilities, improve some aspects of the airport and add new elements such as a restaurant or a STEM learning center, or decommission the airport and turn the area into a new, mixed-use neighborhood. This town hall is the second one the city has hosted on the airport, and is part of an ongoing community engagement process regarding the future of the site. More information on the airport community conversation is available at bit.ly/3rx9NnE. Attachment 9 - Public Open House 2 Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 547 Packet Page 663 of 1201 City eyes future possibilities for Boulder airport site By AMBER CARLSON | acarlson@prairiemountainmedia.com | July 30, 2023 at 5:45 a.m. Boulder’s 95-year-old municipal airport has been generating buzz as questions continue to swirl about what the future may hold for the site. Boulder is engaging in talks with community members to determine whether the airport should stay, be renovated or be decommissioned and converted into a new residential neighborhood. While the future of the Boulder Municipal Airport remains uncertain, there has already been community conversation around where the airport stands now, what different scenarios for the site’s future are being explored and what Boulderites can expect in the coming months. Why is the future of the airport in doubt? Boulder’s general aviation airport has operated continuously at its current site just northeast of the city since 1928. According to airport manager John Kinney, the airport is required to remain open for the time being because it has accepted grant funding from the Federal Aviation Administration. Boulder accepted an FAA grant two years ago for a runway overlay, and that grant came with a 20-year contract requiring the airport to continue operating for at least that long.

(Cliff Grassmick/Staff Photographer) Attachment 9 - Public Open House 2 Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 548 Packet Page 664 of 1201 But even with 18 years left on the current contract, the city has begun a big-picture, visionary conversation with the community about the future of the airport. Kinney said one of the overarching questions behind the ongoing conversation about the airport is the question of what the community wants the airport area to be “when it grows up,” and that the goal is to do a “deeper dive” of engagement and discussion with the community. He also noted that there has been a significant increase in noise complaints and that discussions about possibly repurposing the airport had begun to arise. “(We) truly just (want to) talk about how can we make the community more woven into the fabric of the airport on a day to day basis, a weekly basis, a monthly basis,” said Kinney. Additionally, the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan, which guides long-term planning in the city and county, includes notes about exploring the potential for the airport site to have neighborhood-serving uses as well as housing. Public engagement Since February, the city has held two open house events, a number of bilingual community meetings and individual interviews with community members. There is a community working group of more than 30 people that has met several times, and the city has also offered two online questionnaires, one of which is still open until Wednesday. Allison Moore-Farrell, a senior transportation planner for Boulder, said a variety of factors, including “tensions” between airport community members and the larger Boulder community, had provided the impetus for the airport community conversation. Moore-Farrell said the goal of the community engagement project has been to create “visionary scenarios” that will ultimately be shared with Boulder City Council. The project has asked community members to give input on what issues they see with the current airport and what ideas they have for the future. “We got a lot of ideas. There’s a lot of interest here,” she said. So far, some of the major themes of community member feedback have included safety, health, environmental and economic impacts, noise mitigation and community relations. Attachment 9 - Public Open House 2 Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 549 Packet Page 665 of 1201 But the community appears to be divided as to what the future of the airport should be. At the first open house in April, one common concern that was cited was the leaded fuel still being used at the airport. According to notes from the open house, some said that the airport is a “critical piece of transportation infrastructure” and a “vital part of the community” that provides hundreds of jobs, while others said the airport was costing the city money and creating noise and air pollution. Although feedback about the airport has been mixed, survey results from the first questionnaire reveal that less than 25% of respondents said there were “no changes needed” to the current services and operations at the airport. Nearly half of respondents said at least some improvements should be made, and 16% said there should not be any further operations or services. Almost half also said they don’t use the airport for recreation or work purposes. Feedback from the July 18 open house event was still being compiled and was not yet available at the time of publication of this article. The future of the airport Based on initial community feedback, a project team has created four broad scenarios for the future of the airport site: keep the existing airport with enhanced maintenance, upgrade and modernize the airport’s facilities, improve some aspects of the airport and add new elements such as a restaurant or a STEM learning center, or decommission the airport and turn the area into a new mixed-use neighborhood. According to the city’s contract with the FAA, the airport cannot be closed without FAA consent or a formal release of the city from the terms of its obligations. Kinney said the FAA has sent the city a letter reminding it of its grant obligations, but “in no way told us to stop planning.” “Although we have those grant obligations — we understand and we’re mindful of those with our federal partner — we also want to be responsive to the local citizenry and really glean what is their vision for the airport,” Kinney said. In addition to the scenarios, the team has also identified shorter-term action items that can be accomplished more quickly and longer-term items that may take 10 to 20 years to implement. Attachment 9 - Public Open House 2 Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 550 Packet Page 666 of 1201 The city hasn’t determined yet whether to host a third open house event, Moore- Farrell said, but another event could be scheduled in the coming months. Updates on the project will be presented to City Council during a study session in late August, and the project team hopes for a decision to be made in early 2024.

The property on the northeast side of town is nearly 180 acres of land in a city where every inch has value. "It's kind of a place where a lot of people in Boulder don't really know it's here," said Scott Griffith, assistant manager for Journeys Aviation, a flight school at the airport. "It's great. You're sitting next to the foothills." Its location is close to larger airports, Vance Brand in Longmont and Rocky Mountain Metropolitan in Broomfield. Bringing in commercial air traffic would be very difficult since its proximity to the mountains means there's no instrument approach needed for heavier jets. The airport has generally been under the radar for a lot of people in its 95-year history. But there have been concerns about noise and the lead fuel used by smaller planes. The airport now has voluntary noise abatement procedures Griffith says the vast majority of pilots observe. CBS Attachment 9 - Public Open House 2 Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 552 Packet Page 668 of 1201 Lead remains a worry for some. “And there doesn't seem to be a plan to deal with the leaded gasoline beyond hopefully we get unleaded gasoline in five years and that's a significant number of people who are going to be exposed," said Bryn Grunwald, who attended an open house on the possibilities for the airport Tuesday evening. She would like to see the land used for housing instead of planes to help with Boulder's affordable housing crisis. Others looked over four different possible scenarios: Keeping the existing airport with enhanced maintenance, keeping the airport with aviation improvements, keeping the airport with neighborhood-serving uses and limited housing, and decommissioning the airport and creating a new neighborhood. The city is asking people to answer a questionnaire with intentions of bringing to the city council early next year the pluses and minuses of various ideas. “There's tradeoffs in every one of these scenarios certainly," said Allison Moore-Farrell, a senior transportation planner for the city. There are issues with closing the airport, including the possibility of having to repay the FAA for grants received over the years. Attachment 9 - Public Open House 2 Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 553 Packet Page 669 of 1201 "That would be further conversations with the FAA and further study there," said Moore-Farrell. The amount has the potential to run well into the millions and some in Boulder have claimed as high as $100 million. "We do not know that number yet." Many of the people who showed up for the open house were curious to see the proposals. "I do see it as an asset. I think that it can serve so many different parts of the community," said resident Lisa Chase. "I think that getting rid of it entirely and putting housing there is not going to be the best option for everyone." She liked the idea of adding an educational element for young people thinking of going into aviation which has many different kinds of jobs. "There's so much that can be done there and there's also a lot of opportunity to make more things happen there." Griffith, a former teacher also thinks there's opportunity with education or even businesses like restaurants. "There's so much more that this airport can offer the city from education to commercial businesses and not just more flights. Because I know that that's a sticking point for a lot of people." Attachment 9 - Public Open House 2 Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 554 Packet Page 670 of 1201 City deciding the future of Boulder Municipal Airport By Leonard Sitongia August 2, 2023 The City of Boulder held its second airport open house on July 18 at the Via Mobility offices on 63rd Street as part of the process to decide the future of the Boulder Municipal Airport. The process has been named the "Airport Community Conversation." In addition to two open house events, there is a community working group which has met four times and will meet one more time before results are presented to the Boulder City Council. City staff and the working group have collaboratively developed four scenarios describing the future of the airport. Scenario 1 is for minimal change to the current airport. It adds enhanced maintenance to the existing facilities. Scenario 2 adds some improvements to the airport, including upgrading existing aircraft hangars, adding new hangars, enhancing the public viewing area and enhancing the aviation facilities. The latter was previously described as an upgrade to the glider airstrip and facilities, but the specific enhancement was dropped from the presentation during the second open house. Scenario 3 includes the upgraded hangars and possible enhancement for gliders, but focuses on services to the neighborhood around the airport and provides some housing. The housing would be in the form of new hangars that could be lived and worked in. This scenario adds a restaurant or cafe. It would also create a Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) learning center for local youth. A community center would also be built. .

The project team asked the following question to start the conversation. • What strengths and weaknesses did you hear for each scenario at the Open House? The CWG shared the following highlights: • Heard skepticism from open house attendees on the costs of scenario 4. • One heard a city council member express that they did not want an adversarial relationship with the FAA. • Heard attendees express that they want the airport to be the best version of itself. • Many attendees expressed that they were not in favor of Scenario 4. The details on this scenario seem light and its not clear if this proposal could be implemented. • Some attendees mentioned that they do not want to see more hangars built. • One attendee asked about the different between near-term and long-term action items and what the time component of each would be. • Open house revealed some gaps in the process and revealed myths and misunderstanding about developing middle-income housing – these gaps may be addressed in future plans. • Many attendees had comments and questions related to unleaded fuel and noise. • Some expressed concern that Scenarios 2 and 3 do not address lead pollution. • One attendee did not like the STEM options • Many attendees liked the idea of a restaurant or food trucks – however, another attendee mentioned that such a proposal may fail like it did at the reservoir. • Scenario 3 doesn’t seem possible under FAA regulations. • There is some confusion about the role of the FAA in this process and in future steps. Attachment 10 - CWG 4 Meeting Summary Item 2 - Airport Community Conversation Update Page 561 Packet Page 677 of 1201 6 Boulder Municipal Airport Community Conversation Public Process Roadmap The project team shared the next steps in the Community Conversation process with the CWG. The CWG presentation slides are included as Appendix A. The next steps include: • City Council – August 24, 2023 o All four scenarios advance to City Council o Desired Near-Term Action Items • CWG 5 – September 12, 2023 o Sharing refined scenarios o Seeking consensus on each scenarios’ strengths and weaknesses o Seeking consensus on alignment with city goals Evaluation Considerations Review The project team previewed the evaluation considerations and an initial analysis for the scenarios. The evaluations considerations are included in the presentation slides in Appendix A. These evaluation considerations were produced based on feedback gathered from the CWG in meeting #2. The evaluation considerations help the project team understand how each scenario aligns with city goals. The considerations are qualitative and subjective measures. The project team asked the following question of the CWG: • How well do these scenarios align with City of Boulder goals? o Favorable o Neutral o Unfavorable The project team will be sending these considerations and a short questionnaire out as homework after the CWG. Initial feedback includes: • Do the evaluation consider that the airport is not part of city general fund • Safety is a complicated and can encompass many things, including EMS, flooding, fires, disaster response, safety for neighbors, pilots • Desire to address lead issue once additional data is available Desired Near-Items Action Items Exercise The desired near-term action items are attached as Appendix C. The project team reiterated that the near-term action items will not be resolved during the Community Conversations process but will be included in the final report. The project team guided the CWG through an exercise to narrow down the near-term action items. The responses are included as Appendix D.
