AGENDA ITEM 7 - Parking Services Update: Matthews mentioned that the sidewalks were power washed last week.
Matthews has met with contractors regarding tree grates, looking at a removing flagstone on some and placing bike racks;
replacing the dead trees in front Buchanan's and Al's barber shop; a barricade to be removed; and, has a quote on Holiday lights.
Matthews offered that he will bring the bids to the commission for input. Griffith requested a walking tour with Matthews to see
where the places of replacement are and if creative bike racks could be placed. Matthews will email a map of locations to
Griffith.
AGENDA ITEM 8 -Matters from the Commissioners: Dahl mentioned the next UHCAMC meeting is the day before
Thanksgiving. Two commissioners will not be able to attend. Commissioners asked that the November and December meetings
be combined in the first week of December.
Griffith mentioned the August Hill Flea was a success and is working on the 2013 Flea. Griffith is looking to expand/reach out
to the community with workshops; and, expand the space used. Griffith has met with CU professors regarding the design of bike
racks to fill empty tree spaces in the interim for an irrigation system to be installed- Raj questioned Griffith regarding food at the
Flea. Griffith replied that mobile food carts cannot he near commercial food retailers and there a plenty of food establishments
on the hill. Griffith offered that they were looking at a beverage market to draw people in. Griffith suggested that perhaps
property owners would let alleys be used for temporary curator art during the Hill Flea. Griffith is looking for creative ways to
get people to the Hill via alternative transportation modes.
Shrum mentioned a finance meeting he and Griffith had and asked for feedback from the commission regarding the budget.
Shrum pointed out that the ending fund balance for UHGID from 2012 to 2018 will be going down $300,000. Jobert offered that
$50,000 was approved for studies per year and it's a trend that expenses are rising faster than revenues. Shrum mentioned that
there is little taken seriously by the city and is concerned with the line items on the budget and money on the books. Shrum
offered that 10% of the yearly funds are allocated to studies and feels it is disproportionately high and believes there should be
additional fund consideration. Raj asked what needs are coming up. Shrum questioned the lot on 14th Street and Boyers
Development. Shrum is concerned with upcoming issues and can they he handled in a different way than a line item. Marketing
and economically - how is the money spent in any one year and looking to partnering up with University to leverage the funds.
Dahl mentioned that the days of more studies for the Hill need to end and action oriented methods would be better. Dahl spoke
to Mike Boyers recently and asked how to push his 1)r0ject forward and is looking for the next step. Dahl continued that the
commission wants projects and there is a need to move ahead and use the funds.
Jobert mentioned that the commissioners receive a quarterly report with budget and line items and how things are spent. Shrum
questioned how to take action on some of the litie items. Jobert mentioned that from now through April is the time to bring up
how the commission would like the funds spent. Jobert offered that it is hard to predict what will need to be done such as the
need for a snow blowing this winter that was not anticipated. Griffith questioned the marketing funds and Jobert replied that
there is shifting around as needs arise. Jobert continued that the funds supported the Hill Flea; Snacks and Jazz; and,
Homecoming as it is on the hill this year. Shrum would like to have a detailed account of how the funds are spent and would
like to brag about what UHGID is supporting. Jobert will provide a detailed report at the next meeting. Dahl questioned if extra
funds are available. Jobert mentioned that the commission can request funds through the budget process for something outside
of the budget and have the city manager consider it. Jobert offered that due to increased credit card fees, funds were moved to
accommodate. Raj offered that there needs to be a concrete project for the funds. Raj continued that viable project to begin
would be displayed art hung in alleyways. Griffith mentioned creating a community living room space and when students leave
in May for the summer, create an environment to bring people to the Hill. Griffith mentioned that there are farmers that would
sell their products on the Hill as they are too small for the Boulder's Farmers' Market. Jobert mentioned that Winter has put a
placeholder on the Hill for capital improvements and there may be an opportunity there. Shrum questioned how to make these
things more actionable, by motion? Jobert suggested bringing it up at the next meeting with Molly Winter. Raj would like the
commission to get behind the idea of art in public places such as exists in Louisville. Raj asked about UHNA participation and
the need to have them at UIICAMC meetings. Griffith questioned having a UHCAMC webinar of the meeting. Shrum
mentioned concern with the increase in parking operations personnel. Jobert replied that there has been no change in FTE and
the BMF.A, which hasn't had an increase in two years, has a raise in the 2013 budget for personnel and benefits. Shrum was
questioning what is being bought with their money. Jobert clarified if Shrum is looking for a staffing assessment. Raj
mentioned that she continues to hear about the mess on the Hill. Shrum would like to have conversation about why arc there
complaints when money is being put towards it. Shrum continued that to make the fund sustainable, he would like to have
conversations on how forecasts occur. Matthews offered that it needs to be remembered that staff is limited to the commercial
district and the budget models are what they are and there hasn't been a general salary increase in two years and there is a merit
system for increases. Matthews offered that the other option is to contract out for the services and the city has been trying to
figure out that expenses are going beyond their means. Shrum believes that the work being done needs to be considered and
needs to know about the extras they are providing. Matthews mentioned that healthcare is outside of the city's control and is
going up.
Innovation district is rocking and rolling per Shrum with a meeting in two weeks.
AGENDA ITEM 9- Matters from the Staff: Landrith mentioned that CU Homecoming is over two weeks away. The
Homecoming parade route will be on the Hill and go to CU. Landrith continued that the parade will be the Saturday morning of
the football game and will be begin at 9 am. Landrith mentioned that there is one community sponsor on board and will need to
use existing resources. "Theme is `Go for Gold" and grand marshal maybe Jeremy Bloom or Emma Coburn. Griffith questioned
the length of time for the parade to cross Broadway and the response was it is dependent on the length of the parade. Griffith
offered an alternative parade route for the future and Landrith remarked that CU created the route. Cunningham mentioned that
the police can coordinate the lights to work to the parade's benefit. Griffith mentioned that a half closure could be beneficial.
Landrith offered that there was an effort to keep the parade in the Hill commercial area. Dahl questioned how the parade was
moved back to the Hill from Pearl Street Mall. Landrith replied that the Pcarl Street Mall had a three block span and CU wanted
a bigger activity and to fill the need to create traditions.
Meeting adjourned at 10:30 a.m.
ACTION ITEMS:
MOTION: Shrum motioned to approve the September 19, 2012 UHCAMC meeting minutes. Dahl seconded the
motion. Commission voted 2 -2 with Griffith and Mitchell abstaining. Motion for minutes will occur at
the next U1ICAMC meeting.
Raj arrived and Shrum motioned to approve the September 19, 2012 UHCAMC meeting minutes. Dahl
seconded. The motion was approved 3 - 2 with Mitchell and Griffith abstaining.

Sales & Use Tax Revenue Report
September, 2012
Issued November 19, 2012
This report provides information and analysis related to September year-to-date 2012 sales and use tax
collections.
Table 1 excludes Construction Use Tax revenue from the Boulder Junction area and reports adjusted
revenue that better reflects the underlying tax "base" that funds the on-going operations of the City.
Table 2 includes Construction Use Tax from the Boulder Junction area, which is considered one-time in
nature and is committed to fund specific infrastructure projects in the area.
Results are for actual sales activity through the month of September, the tax on which is received by the
city in the subsequent month. If you have questions about this report, please contact Budget Director Eric
Nickell at (303) 441-3007 or nickelle@bouldercolorado.gov.

Table 1 lists the categories of sales and use tax collected by the City of Boulder. It illustrates the percent
change in the various areas for September YTD 2012 over the same time period in 2011. As reflected in
Table 1, adjusted Sales and Use Tax has decreased from the 2011 base by 0.22%. As reflected in Table 2,

ANALYSIS OF YEAR-TO-DATE RESULTS
• Retail Sales Tax - Actual retail receipts are up by 2.33%.
• Business/Consumer Use Tax - Revenue is down by 5.73%. This category tends to be volatile in
nature and the short-terin results do not necessarily reflect trends.
• Construction Use Tax - This category is down by 6.83%,. Excluding Boulder Junction, Construction
Use Tax is down by 23.92%.
• Motor Vehicle Use Tax is up by 10.59%. Vehicles purchased by owners in the City of Boulder,
regardless of where the vehicle is purchased, generate use tax revenue for the City.
DETAILED ANALYSIS OF MAJOR CATEGORIES
The following monthly information is provided to enable identification of trends in the various categories.
Retail Sales Tax - September YTD results are up by 2.33%. Beginning in May, the comparison time
period collections are now "apples to apples" for Nordstrom Rack which experienced the first full month
of sales in May of 2011. The months of May and June 2012 results each include over $100,000 in
business-to-business revenue that is probably one-time in nature. Due to "system" issues, there are some
timing variances in both the July and August numbers. All data is now fully reconciled.

Sales at Eating Places are both an important revenue source (Eating Places comprise approximately
14.00% of sales/use tax) and are usually a significant indicator of the health of the economy in the city.
This discretionary category is often correlated with unemployment (disposable income) and consumer
confidence. Total September YTD retail tax at Eating Places is up by 8.65%.

Apparel Store retail sales are up by 10.50% YTD. One significant reason for this strong performance is
incremental sales from the new from the new Nordstrom Rack store located in the TwentyNinth Street
area. The first full month of revenue from this store was May of 201 1. Therefore, as we predicted, the
degree of these positive results experienced early in the year (when the comparisons were not "apples to
apples") will probably not be possible to achieve as the year progresses.

Utilities (primarily retail sales tax on natural gas and electricity) are down by 4.93% YTD. Tax on Public
Utilities comprises approximately 5.00'lo of total sales and use tax revenue.
According to the July 25, 2012 Denver Post, the drop in natural gas prices is the most significant factor in
the cost and related sales tax in this category. "Xcel Energy customers are expected to pay about 4.8
percent less for electricity in 2012 than they did in 2010. The two items that cut the cost to consumers
were a reduction in the cost of power purchased by Xcel from independent power plants down nearly
40 percent since 2010 and the cost of fuel, or natural gas, which dropped 12 percent."
Even when natural gas prices do eventually increase, this category may not increase substantially if
conservation strategies are successful and businesses significantly cut their energy use. According to a
2006 study by the City of Boulder, commercial and industrial sector energy use makes up 33% of
Boulder's energy use.

REVIEW OF VARIOUS ECONOMIC PREDICTIONS FOR THE FUTURE
The economy appears to have stabilized somewhat and continues to expand at a very moderate pace.
Even though City of Boulder sales and use tax revenue were relatively strong for 2011, most predictions
forecast a weakening in the rate of increase in 2012 from those strong 2011 increases, particularly in retail
sales tax, and the future remains uncertain. The following information discusses some of the positive
events and the continuing negative pressures that will impact City of Boulder sales and use tax revenue.
Staff will continue to monitor actual results and economic events and modify revenue projections as
necessary.
According to an October 2, 2012 Associated Press article in Daily Finance:
Americans are expected to spend more during what's traditionally the busiest shopping season of
the year, but they're not exactly ready to shop 'til they drop like they have been in the past two
years.
The National Retail Federation, the nation's largest retail trade group, said Tuesday that it expects
sales during the winter holiday shopping period in November and December to rise 4.1 percent
this year. That's more than a percentage point lower than the growth in each of the past two years,
and the smallest increase since 2009 when sales were up just 0.3 percent.
The projections are an important indicator for retailers that depend on the last two months of the
year for up to 40 percent of their annual sales. But the estimates also offer valuable insight for
economists who closely watch consumer spending, which accounts for up to 70 percent of
economic activity.
"In all the years, this is the most challenging year doing a forecast," said Matthew Shay, president
and CEO of the National Retail Federation, based in Washington, D.C. "There are so many
uncertainties."
It's Americans' worries about the economic uncertainty that led the National Retail Federation to
predict slower growth during the winter holiday shopping season than the increase of 5.6 percent
and 5.5 percent in 2010 and 2011, respectively.
Still, the forecast is higher than the average growth of 3.5 percent for November and December
over the past 10 years. And it continues a growth trend that began after holiday sales fell 4.4
percent in 2008 during the middle of the recession. (The federation for the first time is counting
online sales and sales from the auto parts and accessories business. It has revised every year's
forecast from 2000 to reflect the change.)
The federation's forecast also is still more optimistic than the International Council of Shopping
Centers, a mall trade group that last week said it predicts a 2.9 percent increase. It's also higher
than the 3.3 percent growth estimated by ShopperTrak, a Chicago-based analyzer ofretail foot
traffic, last month.
Still, some economists question whether the higher level of confidence among Americans is
sustainable. Confidence has been bouncing around since the recession and the current level is still
well below what's considered healthy. Moreover, the spike in confidence has yet to translate into
a surge in spending.
"You have to be confident to spend, but because you're confident doesn't necessarily mean you'll
spend," said Dennis Jacobe, chief economist at Gallup Poll,
In an analysis of the same National Retail Federation forecast referenced above, Roland Jones of NBC
News addresses the issue of internet shopping, much of which does not generate sales tax revenue for the
City of Boulder (examples include internet Amazon sales for which tax is not collected and remitted and
internet sales from businesses such as Apple and Dell which do collect and remit tax):
Holiday shoppers are expected to continue to move online to do their purchases, according to the
NRF's new data.
The group predicts online holiday sales will grow 12 percent over last year's figure. Total online
spending this holiday season is estimated to be between $92 billion and $96 billion. 'The
Commerce Department estimated that e-commerce in the last quarter of 2011 increased 15
percent from the year before.
"Online retail has been a bright spot for years and we don't expect that trend to change anytime
soon, especially with the growth in mobile," noted the NRF's Shay.
Although online sales only represent about 5 percent of all retail sales, it is a rapidly growing
channel for holiday shopping.
A retailer who will benefit the most from this trend will be Amazon.com, which is expected to
become the most shopped retailer for the 2012 holiday season, surpassing the current leader Wal-
Mart, according to retail consultancy Kantar Retail.
Deloitte forecasts a 15 to 17 percent increase in non-store sales this year. About 75 percent of
those sales will come from the online channel with additional sales coming from catalogs and
interactive television.
Interestingly, rather than hurting in-store sales, Deloitte anticipates that mobile-influenced retail
store sales will account for 5.1 percent, or $36 billion, in retail store sales during the holiday
season, driven by consumers' store-related smartphone activity such as product research, price
comparison or mobile application use. Deloitte research suggests that shoppers armed with
smartphones are 14 percent more likely to make a purchase in a store than those who do not use a
smartphone as part of their in-store shopping. This suggests the "show-rooming" effect where
shoppers browse merchandise in stores, and then go home to purchase the product online for less
money is not as big a problem as had been feared.
On November 1, 2012 the Consumer Confidence Conference Board reported:
The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index o, which had increased in September,
improved again in October. The index now stands at 72.2 (1985=100), up from 68.4 in
September. The Present Situation Index increased to 56.2 from 48.7. The Expectations Index rose
to 82.9 from 81.5 last month.
Says Lynn Franco, Director of Economic Indicators at The Conference Board: "The Consumer
Confidence Index increased again in October and is now at its highest level this year. Consumers
were considerably more positive in their assessment of current conditions, with improvements in
the job market as the major driver. Consumers were modestly more upbeat about their financial
situation and the short-term economic outlook, and appear to be in better spirits approaching the
holiday season."
According to the September 20, 2012 publication of Focus Colorado: Economic, and Revenue Forecast
by the Colorado Legislative Council Staff:
The recovery in Colorado's economy is losing momentum apace with the national economy.
Although Colorado is expected to outperform the nation, employment, income, and wage growth
will be restrained and the unemployment rate will rise through the remainder of 2012 and into the
first half of 2013. Business and consumer spending will continue to grow, but at slower rates, as
households and businesses grapple with uncertainty and a slowing national economy. The latest
State Legislative Council forecast for percentage change in various statewide economic indicators
follows;
2010 2011 2012 2013 2014
Unemployment Rate 8.9% 8.3% 8.3% 9.4% 9.1%
Personal Income 3.8% 5.8% 4.1% 3.3% 6.3%
Wage and Salary Income 1.5% 4.6%, 4.4%, 2.8% 4.6%
Retail Trade Sales 6.6% 6.8% 6.6% 3.7% 6.1%
Dcnver-Boulder Inflation 1.9% 3.7% 2.1% 2.8% 3.0%
Rate
The September 20, 2012 publication, The Colorado Outlook - September 20, 2012, by the Governor's
Office of State Planning and Budgeting includes the following commentary and forecast:
Though the economy continues to grow as individuals and businesses strive to rebuild and
improve their livelihoods, activity remains only modest. The economy has yet to overcome the
legacies of the dramatic downturn and financial crisis that began in 2008. The restructuring
process from dislocations of the credit and housing boom and bust will continue to take time.
A full recovery continues to be hindered by several factors, such as household balance sheet
repair, labor market restructuring, and higher levels of uncertainty regarding future economic
activity. Many businesses and households are holding back on spending, investing, and hiring
decisions. The rate at which money is being exchanged in the economy called the "velocity"
of money ---which helps generate income, is at a 50-year low.
2010 2011 2012 2013 2014
Unemployment Rate 8.9% 8.3% 8.0% 7.8% 7.0%
Personal Income 3.7% 5.7% 4.3% 4.0% 5.1%
Wage and Salary Income 1.5% 4.7% 3.9% 3.5% 4.8%
Retail Trade Sales 6.0% 7.2% 6.1% 3.9% 4.9%
Denver-Boulder Inflation 1.9% 3.7% 2.2% 3.1% 2.7%
Rate
It is important to note that "Retail Trade Sales" on the State level are not strictly consistent with the
taxable retail sales tax base of the City of Boulder. The State forecasts may include gasoline and some
retail services that are not included in the City of Boulder tax base.
