an issue for the commission. Winter continued that timing would be second Tuesday at 9am, in April, July and October, 2011.
Hollister has a conflict with this timing. Winter mentioned the second Wednesday, April 13, July 13, and October 12 for
meetings at 9 am for joint meetings. Boll ister offered a 9:30 am start and it was approved. Meeting location will be detennined.
Winter offered that a meeting location closer to Boulder Junction may be appropriate and will be reviewed. Most commission
meetings are held in Council Chambers. Sutherland offered the conference room at their site. Winter mentioned that it must be
publicly accessible. Acceptance ol'the resolution, for Boulder Junction Access General Improvement District (BJAGID) - TDM
Commission and Parking Commission, as handed out to meet on a quarterly basis, Sutherland motioned and Hollister seconded

both commissions were in favor and both resolutions passed unanimously.
AGENDA ITEM 8- Roles and Responsibilities of Board Members: Winter mentioned the rules and responsibilities of
Board members and that commissioners will be advised of the board orientation schedule, Winter continued by discussing the
minutes and how this media communicates to city council. Llanes suggested that the commissioners read the provided
documents in this regard and to feel free to contact her with questions. Llanes continued that three emails constitute a public
meeting as well and to avoid email communication with other commissioners. Public notice is required for meetings/talks with
three or more commissioners at a time. Winter suggested that the commissioners forward emails for distribution to either Winter
or Weiss for sending out. Llanes suggested thinking of rules that may want to be instated in the future regarding
communications. Winter oficred that communication with city council is done by the meeting minutes and that DMC have
assigned city council members, and whether any commissioner is speaking as a citizen or commission member of the district.
Koval offered that clarity of one's presence, either as a commissioner or as a citizen, must be made clear to avoid a conflict of
interest. Koval continued that council assignments build a rapport and is good method to communicate to avoid getting lost in
the shuffle. Weiss will handle meeting notifications and correspondence, particularly if you want something out to the rest of the
commission. Winter suggested that some commissions discuss agenda items for future meetings. Koval mentioned that
understanding purview and purpose of the commission is warranted and can become consuming, knowing what the commission
can and can not do. Winter will have things pulled out of the ordinance and there is nothing prohibiting discussion. Llanes
suggested the commissioners read the ordinances provided in their packets. Koval mentioned that staff works and reports to the
city and there is a protocol to consider. Pedersen offered that efficiency was key. Bonding and mill levy increases were
mentioned by Winter. Haddock mentioned that to be sure what things the boards are involved in
AGENDA ITEM 9 - Boulder Junction Projects Schedule Review: Winter mentioned examination of projects, public
infrastructure and city issues, timing is critical in both a financial aspect and the city being ready in infrastructure. Winter
requested project schedule: 3100 Pearl - Pederson and Shanahan received an offer from a San Diego firm for this project.
Pen-nits are expected in the third quarter sometime with construction beginning at that time and to take approximately 18 months.
Pedersen discussed RTD. Pans are comprehensive enough to be brought to the Planning Board, entitlements are expected by the
end of the year, with construction start date of the middle of 2012 and 20 months to complete construction. Grauer questioned
RTD side of negotiations. Pedersen responded that a financial piece has been submitted to RTD with an interest in putting
contracts together as soon as possible. Koval offered that their site plan is being reviewed and breaking it up to three buildings
on the site with one building advancing soon and the other two buildings would be built later, hoping to make an announcement
ahout the first building in April or May of this year and applying for permit after site review. Koval continued that the plan
meets the intent with building permit submission in late Fall 2011 and construction start in early 2012 with a nine month to a
year construction schedule. Koval mentioned a site plan submission in April 2011 with a good deal of commercial use.
Pawlowski will have a meaningful schedule in the next 30 days or so. Sutherland has started a face lift remodel on the Valmont
front, Commons at Boulder Junction, with a Boulder Custom Interiors will occupy the back half of the building and the front will
be a shared office concept with smaller tenants, lease just beginning, with 5 - 7 tenants and based on the new zoning to
improved the use of the building. Winter offered that the plan is to create a master schedule for coordinating purposes. Hollister
questioned the applying process and asked if a map would be constantly updated and Winter confirmed.
AGENDA ITEM 10 Matters from Commissioners: Pawlowkki questioned the RTD schedule and if the terminal would be
operational and Pedersen mentioned that it would be delivered at 15 months or so with construction finalizing thereafter.
Pedersen offered that the bus station is being financed by a grant. Pawlowski asked about a formal zoning document and Ilanes
said there should be documents by council. Winter mentioned there is rezoning ordinance and the ratification of the election
results.
AGENDA ITEM 11- Matters from Staff: Hagelin offered that part of his 2011 work plan is to open negotiations with RTD
regarding a business and residential EcoPass access and it will be complicated by the R`1'D Smart Card (RFID chip in the card)
with testing to occur this spring in SKIP buses with record keeping by sample public. IIagelin continued that fare boxes should
be in all buses at the end of this year and beginning of next year (2012) and by the third quarter of 2012 begin pricing. Hagelin
suggested that this commission be involved in RTD discussions. Pawlowski asked if RTD people could be at the next meeting
for interface to deal with broad issue. Update on Smart Card and its development could be discussed; it will be a system wide
card. Pricing will be based on data and not speculation. Llanes mentioned that one of the roles of the commission is centered on
petitions by people that want to be included in the district and those that did not want to be in the district. The boards would
hear these inclusions (this is usually a function of council) and it is subject to call up by council. There is a fornial petition
process. Winter mentioned that Hagelin will take the lead in this process; it would be like a neighborhood pass program. Winter
revealed that when the bus station goes in, the district may be able to get a Neighborhood Parking Program. Pedersen asked if
Hagelin was involved in the Bcycle program and Haglein replied affirmatively with the downtown area beginning the program.
Pedersen questioned a Boulder Junction station and Hagelin responded that it would be in the program.
Meeting adjourned at am Pedersen motioned for adjournment. Hollister seconded. All commissioners were in favor.
