Agenda Item 4: Consent Agenda Consent Agenda – Topics will not be discussed unless there are questions posed by the Commission. Please reference the consent agenda memo. •DMC had no questions or comments regarding the consent agenda. Agenda Item 5: Boulder Police Department Update Stephen Redfearn, Boulder Police Department (BPD) Police Chief and Michael Heath, BPD Police Commander updated the commissioner on current policing topics, including: •Three sessions with business owners and other people through DBP that supported outreach. •Efforts to seek feedback from community members and set expectations around offered services. •Crime statistics are down nearly double digits across all categories for the year so far. •The department is fully staffed for the first time since 2016. •The average response time is faster than the national average. •A service the department is offering to assess store fronts to help make them less susceptible to crime. •Redfearn will be asking for more positions, including a new rank of Lieutenant. •Heath added that an additional Sergeant will ease the workload of the current Sergeant. •BPD has been working with local business and DBP on interviews. •Mall staffing was increased to 6 officers and they are looking at increasing hours for those positions. •They are working to establish a dedicated bike unit. •Heath updated about block captains for the mall, and Erica Dahl shared she is a block captain. •Don Poe asked for clarification on the lowered crime rate being a percentage or a total, and Redfearn answered it’s a percentage. Poe asked what attributes to the lowered rate, and Redfearn answered that he believes it’s because of weather and his officers walking around the area. Assaults were up last year in the unhoused community, and they are changing their process to follow up with victims who didn’t report to see if they want to report later on. He acknowledged that there are many other factors, and that the duration of the data is 3 months, so he wants to give it more time before reaching any conclusions. •Heath added that the community shared a specific example of identifying a problem area of the bushes near the Band Shell, so they removed the bushes and made the area safer. 4 •Poe asked what area BPD considers “The Mall,” and Heath answered that the definition has changed from the bricked area to the entire downtown area throughout the years, but currently is the mall area and surrounding streets. •Nathan asked how BPD can get more credit for the work they do, and Redfearn answered that no one entered the profession for credit, but that they do share their good deeds on social media. Agenda Item 6: Downtown Boulder Partnership (DBP) Update Downtown Boulder Partnership CEO Bettina Swigger updated the commissioner on current DBP topics, including: •Footfalls are down due to seasonal weather, but sales tax should be fine. •This winter feels safer because of the police presence. •Social media efforts are ongoing, and there was a dip in traffic in January. •There was an increase in gift card sales in January. •Work continues on the Paid Advertising Plan. This year, they are focusing on advertising to the surrounding Boulder County area instead of the entire Denver Metro Area. A part of this plan is launching a new campaign this year, Welcome to the Heart of Boulder. •There have been many meetings over the past six weeks to expand restaurant support. DBP have been meeting with local owners about wage increases, other concerns, such as House Bill 1208. Perceptions of the bill in the community have been divided, but DBP is in support of it. •They launched Go out to Lunch Day, last Monday of every month. Nathan shared that he felt that people won’t go because they are mostly in office Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Swigger answered that the restaurants picked the day of the week as it is the slowest day of the week and they wanted to encourage more traffic on that day. She added that it is the first time they are holding this event, so they are open to suggestions and changes in the future. •They have gathered 667 signatures on a petition to Keep West Pearl open. •Upcoming events including the 2025 Student Banner Program January through April, the Tulip Fairy & Elf Festival on April 27, and Taste of Pearl on April 6. •They have implemented a street cleaning machine called ATLV and nicknamed it Snuffleufagus as another effort to get trash out of gutters. •Swigger shared an operations update about the different activities the ambassadors complete in the program, including ATLV Block Faces, Litter Abatement, and Pan & Broom Block Faces. They continue to refine operations with Zach Boyle. Poe asked how detailed the reports are, and Swigger answered that it depends on the person. Some ambassadors log their pick-ups right away and some log them at the end of their shift. •Swigger shared a map of where the ambassadors clean. •Nathan asked for updates on Sundance and Swigger answered that they’ve moved the determination date from the end of February to the end of March. Jones added that the city is waiting to hear from the Sundance board. •Poe brought up the award for the ambassador the year at the DBP luncheon and said they should post his speech on social media because it was very good. Agenda Item 7: Matters from Staff A.2121 Broadway (Spruce Lot) Development Proposal Jones introduced the idea of developing the Spruce Lot into a boutique hotel and presented the background for the desire to develop it. Sam Maddox, Director of Investments, PassCo Properties provided information about his company and the team they gathered. 5 Ryan Diggins, Owner and Founder of Ramble Hotel and Midnight Auteur presented his hotel as an example for the commissioners to see how the Spruce Lot could be developed. He explained the different considerations he used for making decisions about the exterior and interior of the hotel to make it a busy and successful location. He included information about a shipping container on the property that he converted into a small shop that sells local art in a pop-up style, where the artists rotate through the property and get a chance to sell their art. Diggens shared about many different types of programming that he helped design to build credibility within the community over time. Jeff Aerni, Managing Partner, Landrock Capital presented information about his company, including their goal of real estate investment and different cities where they have already invested. They are looking forward to expanding in Boulder. Maddox reiterated that the goal is to collaborate with the city and other stakeholders to keep the downtown area vibrant, and then opened the floor to questions. - Kalvin asked about keeping it local, and Diggins answered that there will be locally inspired drinks and food and local employees. Kalvin asked about the shipping container being a part of the plan for the Spruce Lot, and Diggins said it doesn’t have to be used. Kalvin brought up that the current parking lot is almost always full, and asked if that will be considered, or if the city losing the spots, and Maddox answered that it will be a part of the considerations, and they want to find a solution that everyone is happy with. - Poe asked if the parking needed for the building will be accounted for, and Jones answered that it will be considered, though P&DS is moving forward with eliminating the building parking space minimum requirement from the land use code. He provided a few examples of the St. Julien and the Moxy hotels having parking agreements with the city that could be replicated. - Nathan asked about timeline, Maddox answered 2027 is possible, especially if the city is awarded the Sundance Film Festival bid. -Poe provided another example of a parking agreement that the city and the boutique hotel could have, and Jones reiterated that the options will be considered during the design phase. - Stephanie Trees provided another example of a parking agreement for consideration and is interested in utilizing the loss of these parking spaces to encourage commuters to park in other, under-utilized areas. Diggens answered that they will engage the community to see what is desired and what is the best fit for the project and the community. Jones clarified that information will be shared as it becomes available throughout the different phases of the project. -Dahl shared concerns about accounting for traffic impacts from construction, and the perception that parking is difficult downtown. She compared the project to when East Pearl was closed. She added that she is worried about the perception that the hotel is for tourists and not locals. Other concerns she shared were vacancies of retail locations and what the hotel will have in it, such as restaurants and retail spaces, and those businesses being in competition with those on the bricks of Pearl Street Mall. Maddox answered that the Ramble is a versatile space that is open to the public and it is packed on weeknights with local residents. Jones added that the parking with be carefully considered during the design process. -Nathan stated that he sees value in a place like this. Kalvin added that he enjoys visiting the Ramble and is excited to see a similar vision implemented in Boulder. 6 -Poe asked how many seats the space can hold, and Diggins answered that they can pack in 90 seats, or comfortably seat 40 people. He shared more information about how he decided to brand and label the Ramble hotel and VAUXHALL. -Jones shared the next steps of creating the contract with an addendum listing out all these considerations that need to be made before the project is complete. He aniticipates having a contract ready to vote on at the May DMC meeting, that will then be sent to City Council for final approval and signing. -Dahl shared concerns about having another tall building in the downtown area blocking the view of the mountains and feeling that the city has become very large in the last few decades. She is worried that Boulder is losing its small-town charm and becoming too built up. Maddox pointed out that there is a four-story building next door to the Spruce Lot, and assured her that the 55-foot height restriction will be honored in the design. He added that there will be rooftop access and programming. -Trees asked if there is an affordable commercial space requirement for the location. Jones answered that there is no city requirement, but local owners have participated to help support the city. She doesn’t believe it should be a requirement. Kalvin discussed that it could be an opportunity to partner with community members to fill the spaces. B.Improvement District Analysis Update Reegan Brown, CV Senior Project Manager reminded the commissioners of the project and introduced Amanda Kannard, Vice President, Progressive Urban Management Associates (P.U.M.A.) and added that there will be a special All CV Commissions meeting at 4:00 pm on April 8, 2025 during which the commissioners will be presented options from P.U.M.A. to vote on and send to City Council for the April 24, 2025 Study Session. Kannard updated the commission about: - Existing Conditions, including district profiles, the history of the CAGID district, key commercial market indicators, sources and uses of funds from 2019 to 2025, and a summary of past planning efforts, projects, and partnerships. -CAGID Priorities, including Pearl Street Mall improvements and activations, safety, Civic Area and East Bookend redevelopment, mobility and connectivity to The Hill and other districts, the future of the downtown area’s office market, capital improvements, and reimagining maintenance and operations. -CAGID Challenges, including mission creep beyond parking, lack of clarity between CAGID and BID services, and fund and revenue reporting. -Brad Segal, President, Progressive Urban Management Associates presented the CAGID Opportunities, including near-term opportunities over the next two years of a revenue-share from the creation of the Tourism Improvement District (TID), clarifying CAGID and BID services, and identifying revenue options for planned capital improvements. Additionally, the long-term opportunities beyond two years of a citywide bond issue and an increase in sales or property tax, a Pearl Street PIF, a special district for East Bookend, site-specific urban renewal, on-street and general fund parking lot revenue share, and exploring the feasibility of an open consumption district. Poe shared that he joined a meeting with P.U.M.A. to discuss these topics and enjoyed his time learning about the possibilities. The commissioners and staff discussed the joint CV commissions meeting’s purpose and clarified that a quorum is needed and the May meeting is a regular meeting. 7 C.West Pearl Update Jones shared that his information aligns closely with the DBP presentation and opened up the floor for questions. Poe asked about the topics that were being discussed during the reopening after Covid. He asked if the architectural, utility, and infrastructure issues are being considered and wanted to know if there are statistics from the previous reopening that can be considered when making this plan. Swigger answered that it has been tracked but not made available on the website yet. The work is still in progress and she will provide updates soon. Agenda Item 8: Matters from Commissioners A.Approve Final 2025 DMC Priorities Poe discussed editing priority number three to make it clear they want to connect the districts. Trees added more information to priority number two. Dahl motioned to approve the finalized 2025 DMC priorities list, and Nathan seconded. There was no discussion, and the motion unanimously passed. B.Business Improvement District (BID) Meetings Update Trees shared that the last meeting she attended was the DBP Luncheon. She shared that her due date is in June, and will need someone to cover her vice-chair duties during her parental leave in the summer months. C.Improvements to P&DS Communications Poe shared the questions he sent to Planning and Development Services regarding the changes to the land use code and planning process, and he has not heard back yet from them.

There was not a quorum for the BJAD – TDM Commission. 10 Agenda Item 1: Roll Call Ellie Kennedy, CV Operations Specialist took roll call. All commissioners except Erica Dahl, Don Poe, Kevin Knapp, Stephanie Pike, and Jennifer Shriver were present. Agenda Item 2: Public Participation There were no members of the public present who wished to speak. Agenda Item 3: Long-Term Financial Strategy Charlotte Huskey, Finance Department Budget Officer presented the city’s Long-term Financial Strategy, including: -The long-term financial strategy is a development of a comprehensive citywide strategy that has built upon prior policy recommendations that have come forward from the Boards and Commission reports of 2008 and 2010, as well as a 2019 report that was developed called the Budgeting for Community Resilience Report. -The prior policy recommendations are calling for a comprehensive financial plan, cautioning the city's over reliance on sales tax and dedication of funding sources, the identification of core services and service level prioritization, and the development of an outcomes-based system of budgeting. -There are four primary work streams that were focused on with two phases of work, and the team received policy guidance from a council committee called the Financial Strategy Committee, City Council, and an Internal Executive Steering Committee. -The team’s focuses are working on increasing flexibility of funding to be able to meet emerging community needs, increasing stability and diversity of revenues and reducing reliance on sales and use tax, increasing reliability through establishing guiding principles, revenue identification, community prioritization, and development of a comprehensive long term strategy for the city of Boulder that will help us to be able to comprehensively and holistically support core service levels and community needs. -The four work streams are developing a long-term financial plan, looking for alternative funding mechanisms, looking at core service levels and finding the gaps, and developing a multi-year tax ballot measure strategy for 2025 and 2026. -The Multi-Year Ballot Measure Framework for 2025 is focused on a narrower incremental approach to potential tax changes with key focus areas and looking at unmet needs, taking care of what the city has and funding opportunities for core services. The framework for 2026 is focused on a more comprehensive and creative approach to tax changes focused both on the city’s unmet needs and taking care of what it has, as well as additional investments in services and programs. -The Phase I 2025 tax ballot measures include an extension of the existing 0.3% Community Cultural Resilience and Safety Sales and Use Tax from 2036 through 2050, with the potential to extend that permanently to continue to support city infrastructure and maintenance projects as well as nonprofit capacity building and capital investment. 90% of this tax, about $15 million annually, currently supports city infrastructure. It is largely exhausted with the current term in place that was approved from 2021 to 2036. 20 key projects, such as the East Boulder Community Center renovations, civic area and investments in Pearl Street are supported with 11 this tax. 10% of it goes to supporting capital infrastructure projects with nonprofits in boulder. - Another 2025 tax ballot measure is the creation of a Public Realm Tax, which would increase the existing Permanent Parks Property Tax from 0.9 mills up to the maximum allowed by city charter, which is 2.252 mills. The ballot measure would also expand the use of this tax to look at flexibility of funding in alignment with the guiding principles of the Long-Term Financial Strategy. The team is also looking at allowing debt issuance. The estimated revenue from this tax is $7 million. - The Phase II 2026 tax ballot measures include Fund Our Future, a holistic community conversation around potential tax ballot measures for 2026, as well as understanding trade-off and service level priorities with community members. There will be engagement efforts this summer and fall where the team will receive input from diverse stakeholders, help to educate the public on the city's budget, as well as its financial constraints, and work with City Council Members. There will also be a survey regarding potential 2026 tax ballot measures. - The project is slated to start in May 2025 and be completed by May 2026. Commission Responses: - Sue Prant shared she was involved in the Community Culture Resilience and Safety Tax, and this process ended up using much of the funds on city projects instead of going to the intended non-profits to make capital investments. Therefore, she is hesitant to support the tax ballot measures due to her concern about a bait-and-switch scenario. She wants to make sure the funds go to supporting the community and not just building more city buildings. She shared that in the past, City Council has not supported the idea of bringing a Public Realm Tax to the highest it can be. She supports bike lanes and paths, but feels it could be shortsighted to raise the tax to the maximum and then not be able to raise it during a true emergency in the future. She added that times are financially bad for raising taxes on people. -Stephanie Trees asked about the Public Realm Tax and how the city will distinguish between what is maintenance of pre-existing infrastructure like parks or buildings versus net new. She asked how the team plan on getting buy in for a tax increase like this, and if there is a designation or if they keep it very broad to have the full ability to submit it on whatever is needed. Huskey answered that there will be a lot of community engagement to help identify the priorities. Trees wants to make sure that the rising cost of maintaining the assets is considered in this process. Huskey replied that they plan to find the balance between repairing and replacing assets. -Rebekah Dumouchelle brought up understanding how moving taxes from sales tax to property tax protects the city's interest and generates a predictable revenue, but doing so will create an increase every year because the property value is increasing. This will negatively impact an aging population that is dependent on social security with a fixed income, people who are losing their jobs at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and other organizations, and anyone who might be impacted by a tech layoff or any other kind of layoff. One way that residents can mitigate some of those issues is to reduce spending on discretionary income. This would not allow them to do that, because everybody needs to pay rent or their mortgage in their property taxes, whether they pay them directly or through their landlord. This might be a burden to a large percentage of the population. -Danica Powell asked about the Public Realm Tax and if it’s raising the mill levy to the maximum allowed. Huskey answered that the exploration of the creation of the Public Realm 12 Tax is looking at expanding the current mills. Powell asked if maxing out the mills this year will preclude them from more holistic opportunities in using the mill caps in 2026, and Huskey answered they are looking at other potential tax options such as a high level of dedicated taxes across the organization, a dedicated sales and use tax, vacancy tax, and an exploration of approval of issuing debt. -Prant added that the new fire station was $37 million, and suggested planning things at a lower cost. - Trees asked about the least-to-most progressive or equitable tax options, on a spectrum. Huskey answered that her team will be researching this further and acknowledged that sales and use tax is generally a more regressive task, while property tax tends to be more progressive. -Ted Rockwell asked what the adaptation and recovery might look like post-2026 and Huskey answered that her team is currently working on a five-year plan to find alternative funding sources and look at fee recovery while maintaining equity. Rockwell added that he is concerned about the adaptability of the tax to future needs, and Huskey answered that they are working to make sure they have flexibility and stability of funding moving forward through focusing on resiliency and reserve levels across other funds. Agenda Item 4: Improvement District Analysis Update Reegan Brown, CV Senior Project Manager reintroduced Brad Segal, President, Progressive Urban Management Associates (P.U.M.A.) and Amanda Kannard, Vice President, P.U.M.A. and reminded the commissioners of the context of the project: to support and build off of Council's established priority of commercial area connections and quality of life improvements. The primary goal of this project is to provide clear guidance on financial and governance tools that support the health and sustainability of the city’s commercial districts. Kannard discussed the summary of characteristics for each district, including their mill levies and the history of their creation. They looked at the key market indicators from 2016 to 2024 and discovered: - Retail vacancies have been trending up in all of the General Improvement Districts (GID) since the pandemic. - BJAD is doing quite well with office vacancy despite the pandemic, but UHGID and CAGID are hovering right around 20% following the pandemic. - CAGID's overall property value has gone up 6.6%, UHGID’s has gone up 15.9%, and BJAD’s has gone up 267.8% since 2019. Kannard detailed the total budgets, the total revenue, top sources of funds, and top uses of funds for each district fund. Kannard reminded the commissioners of the district priorities: -CAGID’s are capital improvements that are needed moving forward, including Pearl Street improvements, the civic area redevelopment, and the future of downtown office space coming out of the pandemic. -UHGID’s are general maintenance on operations of the infrastructure in downtown, safety that is consistent with CAGID, the connectivity between those two districts, supporting new investments that have happened on the hill with the development of the hotel and convention 13 center, diversifying UHGID beyond an undergraduate destination, high business turnover and economic stagnation. -BJAD’s are ensuring the district is walkable and transit oriented, looking at the second phase of redevelopment, now that the first phase is largely complete, and continuing to look at capital improvements. Kannard reminded the commissioners of the challenges for each district: -CAGID’s are mission creep for the GID beyond its original mission of parking, community members don’t understand the difference between what CAGID does versus what the Business Improvement District (BID) does, and capital maintenance, liability, and the funding of long- term capital improvement needs. -UHGID’s are an issue with the amount of funds being generated and being able to cover what the district's priorities are. There are some really clear priorities, and yet the assessment revenue is not sufficient to cover those priorities looking to the future. - BJAD’s are funding levels currently exceed what is available to have for some future planned program and infrastructure improvements, the role of the districts in the Phase II of Boulder Junction redevelopment is unclear, figuring out the right mill levy amounts, and there are two districts overlapping currently. Segal presented the following recommendations: CAGID Immediate actions in the next 6 months – 2 years: - Identify redundancies and clarify CAGID versus BID services. -Create a Downtown Development Authority (DDA) - Alternative options other than DDA: o De-Brucing to increase mill levy o Pearl Street Public Improvement Fee (PIF) o Citywide bond issue, sales or property tax increase, associated with the city’s Long- Term Financial Strategy o Urban Renewal can be used for properties that are blighted UHGID Immediate actions in the next 6 – 12 months: -Create a DDA - Alternative options other than DDA: o De-Brucing to increase mill levy o Analyze cost recovery related to parking rates and UHGID services o Citywide bond issue, sales or property tax increase o Urban renewal or other site-specific tools for development Short-term actions in the next 12 – 24 months: - Lodging Business Assessment Area (LBAA) partnership BJAD Immediate actions in the next 6 – 12 months: -Explore merging the overlapping BJAD-P and BJAD-TDM districts -Analyze expansion options for Boulder Junction Phase II -Analyze impacts and steps to reduce mill levy Short-term actions in the next 12 – 24 months: 14 -Urban renewal or other site-specific tools for development Commissioner’s Responses: -Trees asked for the level of each revenue option, in dollar signs from $ to $$$, and Segal answered that urban renewal could be $$ or $$$, the metro district could be $$ or $$$, the DDA in combination with tax increment financing c is $$$ or $$$$, De-Brucing is $ or $$, parking revenue is $, the Pearl Street PIF is $ or $$, - Rockwell asked about the formation of a DDA. One has not been formed in many years, and Rockwell is hesitant. He asked how CAGID will not take up all of DDA funds and if UHGID will get some of those funds. He added that he would like to know what the risks are of creating a DDA. Segal answered they have to create a Plan of Development for the DDA that can include language to safeguard those funds for UHGID. He added that the governance of the DDA is run by a board who is appointed by city council. The board influences where the funds are directed. In creating the board, they can make sure the member qualifications include working or owning property on The Hill, in the downtown area, or in specific neighborhoods. There are not many pitfalls in a DDA, and there are about two dozen DDAs around Colorado. It is like running a business and needs to be treated as such. Therefore, the DDA would have dedicated staff, would maintain caution so that it doesn’t get too big, and would ensure restrictions. -Tell Jones asked about the length of alternative strategies, and Segal answered GIDs are infinite, metro districts have a set term of 40 years, urban renewal has a term of 25 years. The DDA has a term of 30 years, which can be extended, but to do so, there must be an adjustment to base. - Dumouchelle asked about using the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) against sales tax revenue, sharing her concern that it is hamstringing the city by giving up future revenues from one of the main tourist-spending areas. Segal answered that in order to create the DDA, some other taxing authorities, such as the school district, will have to give up future revenue. Therefore, one of the steps of creating a DDA is to talk to the city, the schools, and the county to make an argument to invest in Downtown Boulder. They just did this in Lafayette, schools came back and said if the downtown area is more family friendly and will encourage people to move there, then they want it over losing the money. The county agreed because Lafayette is a small portion of their tax revenue. -Trees asked about the taxes from areas where the majority of families are in non-UGHID or CAGID areas. Segal answered that there may be more housing in these districts in the future that could encourage families to move to those areas. - Segal warned about staying economically stagnant, and shared that they can make the argument to the other taxing authorities that not reinvesting will cause the city to fail. - Ryan Cook asked about the Boulder Junction Phase II expansion in relation to this work and the structure of the board, and Segal answered that they need to focus on consolidating before expanding, meaning that they need to combine the overlapping districts first, and then the board can adapt. - Dumouchelle supports merging the BJAD districts, and shared concerns about properties not wanting to join the Parking district because of the high mill levy and pilot fees. -Powell shared that she worked for a company that could join TDM but not Parking due to their location, and Cris Jones answered that he will follow up with her after the meeting, and that the pilot fees will be heavily considered when writing the ordinance to combine the districts. -Andrew Shoemaker asked about the DDA and the discussion between the city, schools, and county. The area of the DDA would be very small. He wondered if there is a way to calculate the long-term gains to the county vs. the short-term loss to show them the benefits. Segal 15 answered that they can calculate and estimate this, create projections, and provide this information to the other taxing authorities. - Dumouchelle asked about who would vote in UGHID and CAGID, and Segal answered that every suggestion will need a TABOR election. Electors include residents in the area who are registered to vote, owners in the area, commercial owners, and commercial lessees. - Justin Kalvin asked if qualifying certain areas as blighted is hard without the DDA, and Segal answered that there aren’t many places that are blighted in the districts, so urban renewal might not be the best route. Kalvin added that that DDA is meant to get ahead of the blight and make sure it doesn’t happen. Colorado Springs has a loan program for small businesses, and the DDA can be tailored to each city. Kalvin stated that places are more interesting when they have a DDA, and he wants to keep Boulder interesting. -Segal added that the DDA can support what makes the areas unique and keep them special. - Powell added that Urban Renewal is not a great tool for Boulder and pointed to the Opportunity Zone as a failed attempt to control outside investment in the city. She believes the city will have more control over outside investment and its future through a DDA. - Andy Nathan asked why the DDA hasn’t been considered previously, and Cris Jones answered that the concept of TIF was less palatable before the pandemic. Segal added that it could’ve been stigmatized as urban renewal. -Kristine Edwards, CV Senior Manager of Operations and Maintenance asked about how having large foundations at the table for a thoughtful development of downtown affected the DDA in Fort Collings, since they had a very strong foundation that bought up an entire city block to create a music experience there which drives a certain culture. Segal answered that the DDA funded that project and added that different niches can be fostered through the DDA. - Bettina Swigger, CEO Downtown Boulder Partnership (DBP) asked how many votes individuals get, and Segal answered that each entity gets a vote. One person with 5 properties has one vote, one person with 5 LLCs that each own a property gets 5 votes. -Segal shared that city council has to pass a resolution to get on the ballot for electors to vote on. -His team plans to draft a Plan of Development so everyone knows what they’re voting on. -Trees asked what tactic someone would take to oppose the DDA, and Segal answered that Boulder leans progressively, but there may be opposition to taking funding from the schools, especially with an upcoming recession. He added that there could be a way to revenue share to get more voters on board. -Cris Jones reminded the commissioners about the upcoming city council meeting on April 24 where they are submitting PUMA’s findings. He asked for a nod of approval from all the commissioners that they approve of the recommendations. The nods were unanimous. - Powell asked if this will be on the 2026 ballot, and Segal clarified that is the current plan. Agenda Item 5: All CV Commissions Summit Meeting Kennedy shared that Chair Don Poe had suggested a summit meeting all CV commissions as there has not been one in a long time. Cris Jones added that the commissioners can revisit the topic in May with the new commissioners. He would like to get more specifics from Poe and suggested a retreat. Agenda Item 6: Adjourn There being no further business to come before the commission at this time, Rockwell moved to adjourn the meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 5:52 p.m. Approved on: 16 Attested: Approved by: ___________________ _____________________ Ellie Kennedy Rebekah Dumouchelle Operations Specialist BJAD - TDM Chair Date: ______________ Date: _________________ ________________________ Robyn Ronen BJAD – Parking Chair Date: _________________ ________________________ Ted Rockwell UHCAMC Chair Date: _________________ ________________________ Don Poe DMC Chair Date: _________________ 17 City of Boulder Special District Board Consent Agenda University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission (UHCAMC) – May 6, 2025 Downtown Management Commission (DMC) – May 13, 2025 Boulder Junction Access District (BJAD) Commissions – May 21, 2025 Updates on Community Vitality work plan programs and projects for city special district boards and commissions. These updates are for informational purposes only and require no discussion or votes. Special District Updates •University Hill General Improvement District (UHGID) o In partnership with Transportation and Mobility, staff are working on the University Hill Streetscape Enhancements, a capital project to improve the medians in Broadway along The Hill district and complimented by enhancements to the pedestrian experience. The city has contracted with Dig Studio to design the median improvements, which will include repairing the irrigation, installing trees and low shrubs, and exploring art installations. Other planned improvements will be shaped by public engagement later this summer. o Building off the success of last year’s live music series events, staff are working with Roots Music Project for another year to produce three shows on the Events Street. The music events are taking place on June 19th, July 17th, and August 21st. Each event will have a unique theme – Juneteenth Celebration, Women in Music, and Youth Music Celebration – bringing diverse musical experiences to the Hill. o Creative crosswalks have been installed at the intersection of 13th & Pennsylvania in partnership with a local artist, Liz Maher. o Work continues at the Limelight Hotel and Conference Center, which is now projected to open in fall 2025. o We will need to update the assignments for the Bi-Monthly Check-In Meetings to include our new commissioner, Dane Anderson. Currently, they are: •June 10: Trent Bush •August 12: Danica Powell •October 14: Tell Jones (attended in April) •December 9: Trent Bush •Central Area General Improvement District (CAGID) o Staff continue work on improving public parking garages in downtown Boulder in 2025, which requires periodic partial and full closures of the garages. o Staff applied for and were awarded a Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) grant for the Garage Mobility Hub Project, an innovative mobility planning effort in the amount of $250,000. The purpose of this project is to create concept plans for converting CAGID parking garages into multi-functional mobility hubs. These hubs will continue to provide traditional vehicle parking while integrating additional mobility solutions, such as secure bike storage, e-bike charging, 18 rideshare staging, TNC pick-up and drop-off points, carshare parking, micromobility stations, and placemaking. With the concept plans designed in this project, we will be able to implement the changes to the CAGID garages over the next six years during the largescale capital work being done. o A team across city departments has begun a review of systems and programs involved with keeping downtown areas clean and well-maintained. The goal is to improve any practices that are currently slowing down response time, not meeting minimum service levels, or can in other ways be improved. This project is focused on current strategy, programs, and systems. The Improvement District Analysis and Boulder Commercial Areas Blueprint will build on this work to examine changes in services or new programs. o Supported by Community Vitality, Roots Music Project is producing a music festival in Downtown Boulder taking place October 17-19. This three-day festival will highlight local and regional artists, support small businesses, and help re-establish Boulder as a cultural hub for live music. •Boulder Junction Access Districts (BJAD) o The final wayfinding signage permits were approved and all signs have now been installed. City of Boulder Updates Boulder Clean Commute Pilot Program –Work to enhance the Boulder Clean Commute program for 2025 continues in collaboration with a local tech company Commutifi. Staff and Commutifi have distributed surveys among program participants to evaluate how the Pilot Program is going and determine if the program will continue in its current form. The city’s video team and Commutifi are also working on a marketing video showcasing participating employees utilizing the program to increase program awareness and engagement among nonparticipating businesses. More information can be found on the program website Boulder Clean Commute. Curbside Management Plan Implementation Update – Following the passing of an ordinance in October 2024 which allows enforcement of Flexible Loading Zone time limits, city staff are starting the implementation of the curbside management plan. The first step is to transition some of our traditional, time-restricted (i.e. 7 a.m. - 10 a.m.) loading zones in our parking districts to 24/7 Flexible Loading Zones (FLZ) with 15-minute time limits. City staff will be identifying which existing traditional loading zones will be converted along with identifying potential new locations for FLZs. Improvement District Analysis – Following support from our district Commissions and Council, City Council expressed support of the recommendations, including the exploration of a Downtown Development Authority (DDA). A final report will be finalized by the end of June. Further context can be found in the video for the April 24th Council Study Session (starting at 1:10:00), in the Council Memo, and the staff Presentation. Commercial Areas Blueprint – This work will build on the Improvement District Analysis, providing a strategic visioning document for all commercial areas across the city, including our existing GIDS, for the next 10-20 years. The Commercial Areas Blueprint will be closely 19 connected with the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan (BVCP) update, translating the policies of the BVCP into tactics and work plans for all city departments to address our commercial centers. An RFP for consulting support will be launched in Q2 of this year. Outdoor Dining Pilot Program – Community Vitality staff are working closely with our cross departmental colleagues to evaluate the potential of a more permanent program. If deemed feasible, staff will bring recommendations to Council in 2026. The Pilot Program is set to end in October 2027. Boulder Arts Blueprint - Staff in the Office of Arts and Culture are working with Public Sphere Projects and P.U.M.A. on a two-phase planning project entitled the Boulder Arts Blueprint. Informed by extensive research, community voices, stakeholder input, and expert insights in creative sector development, the Blueprint will outline goals, strategies, and funding priorities to guide the Office’s work starting in 2026. The Office manages the Boulder Arts Commission Grants Program, implements the city’s Public Art Policy, conducts research on the creative economy, and delivers programs that support the arts community. This work is carried out with a strong commitment to responsible stewardship of the voter- approved Arts, Culture, and Heritage tax fund. The Arts Blueprint will also provide a citywide vision for supporting arts and culture, translating the policies and priorities in the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan to strategies to advance the community’s cultural goals. Please help us spread the word for district stakeholders to participate in future community engagement opportunities by visiting the Arts Blueprint website. Boulder Arts Week – Boulder Arts Week 2025 hosted over 200 events from April 4 – 12, spanning visual and studio arts, music, dance, film, theater, poetry, and inclusive art workshops. Events were held throughout the community, including in all of Boulder’s commercial districts. Attendance at most events ranged from 10 to 150 people, with First Friday and weekend events seeing the highest turnout. Artists reported that Arts Week helped them reach new audiences and increased visibility. 73 Business Champions participated this year, including several from the GIDs. Business Champions are cross-promotional partners who support Arts Week by celebrating and promoting the arts community. Boulder Social Streets Implementation - Staff have contracted with Public Sphere Projects to continue to develop the Boulder Social Streets program for closing streets for community events. This includes permit and approval efficiencies, sponsorship protocol, temporary street closure infrastructure, a communication strategy, and immediate logistical needs. The team is also planning for long-term infrastructure and policy updates. Staff are currently working with the consultant team to finalize program details, and the website will be updated this month. Parking Enforcement - Enforcement is prepared to monitor compliance with the new flexible loading zones related to the curbside management plan. They are also ready to help support the Mobility Hub project and the adjustments that may pertain to enforcement 20 DOWNTOWN COMMERCIAL DISTRICT FUND (formerly CAGID ) - 2026 FUND FINANCIAL (6400) 2024 2025 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 Actuals Adopted Revised Recommended Projected Projected Projected Projected Projected Beginning Fund Balance 20,945,588$ 23,110,042$ 23,110,042$ 15,050,539$ 11,054,144$ 10,895,740$ 9,677,686$ 9,465,882$ 11,508,913$ Sources of Funds Parking Revenue 5,879,626$ 6,299,894$ 6,299,894$ 6,550,393$ 6,681,401$ 6,815,029$ 6,951,329$ 7,090,356$ 7,232,163$ 2% growth Property Tax 1,445,004 1,469,800 1,469,800 1,470,753 1,500,168 1,530,171 1,560,775 1,591,990 1,623,830 2% growth Leases, Rents & Royalties 543,000 504,465 504,465 486,996 494,301 501,715 509,241 516,880 524,633 1.5% growth Interest & Investment Earnings 691,916 502,976 641,597 646,507 625,230 603,952 622,071 640,733 659,955 Guidelines Other Revenues 567,326 65,559 65,559 65,559 66,870 68,208 69,572 70,963 72,382 2% growth Specific Ownership & Tobacco Tax 55,434 65,433 65,433 65,434 66,743 68,078 69,439 70,828 72,244 2% growth Intergovermental Revenues -
