We move into procedural items on the agenda. 1st up is the approval of the September 3rd meeting minutes. Does anyone have any corrections to meeting minutes before we move University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: the motion? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I was just wondering if we could attach the revised letter that went to council to the we have the letter that was circulated, and then we revised it in the meeting, and so I thought maybe we should attach that

[1:06] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: letter that you requested. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yeah, I think that's a good catch. Thank you. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: You can University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: any other suggestions or edits? Or University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: do I hear a motion. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: It looks like University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: improvement. Second, all those in favor of approving the meeting minutes with Andrew's correction. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Some data. This University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: alright next is the approval of proposed. You can't see meeting dates. We have a sheet in front of us with meeting dates running January, March, May, July, September, November, hoping you've all had a chance to review this University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: there. Any concerns with the dates as proposed. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I guess Labor Day. That's an issue for anybody the day after Labor Day University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: second.

[2:01] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: and then I just wanted to throw it out there that January 7th will be my employee party, so I'll most likely not be able to attend. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Let's check the date. Let's check January 7th specifically to ensure that forum. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Anyone else has plans on that day. Moving into that University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: adjust. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I'm I'm good. So University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: if no one else is seeing anything on their calendars. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I'm gonna move my attention. Keep looking at the 7.th I'm gonna move my attention to the Labor day part of it. This happens from time to time, unless someone, unless we've got 3 people who all are saying, Hey, I'm going to be out of town in that period we're still gonna run that meeting. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I don't know that I would be that. That's right. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I think I'm fine. I just wanted to bring it up in case is the 7, th the second Tuesday of the month. It is. No, it's the 1st Tuesday

[3:08] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: they typically they're all the 1st 2 things except those with the the note, for, like 8 years and Independence Day. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: we technically January 7, 25 is the 1st University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: 1st Tuesday. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: nice and refined. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: but University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I think that if tells the only one that's indicating that he may not be available, then I think we proceed as as proposed here. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Do I hear a motion to accept these dates as presented by city staff. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Second, that. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: and all those in favor. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: alright, beautiful. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: agreed on our dates for 2025. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Then those go out to like in the calendar. Yes, I'll send a meeting series.

[4:03] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: not this week, but early next week. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Okay. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: we have reached the public participation section of our agenda. Do we have any members of the public here with the Commission that would like to say anything today? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Move forward. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: See. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: we're in the consent agenda. So University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: anything in a consent, agenda. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: that anyone on the Commission would like to bring up. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: The only thing that I see here is University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Projected opening is spring of 2025 for the Landline Hotel is that I've heard? That's not correct. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yeah, it's looking like August, I believe. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: A year from now is probably

[5:02] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: anything else in the consent agenda. Anyone want to highlight or ask questions about University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: all right, how about the fund financials? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yeah. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: hopefully University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: question that I had University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: was University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: with the University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: the budget or the budget that went through council with that letter? Is there any, or is there. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: in other words, was the budget that was composed? Did they did? That University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: was the whole thermos issue, or how? How did how did the letter play out University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: the University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: so the letter was received. There was no discussion on council. Council member Benjamin did speak to the fact that we're tapping into huge dollars to help support the streetscape improvements, and it was mostly just a statement of support

[6:13] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: using those funds to make them do something. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: That said there, was the the comment at the last meeting about the numbers didn't seem to to jive and elliot's here, and he can speak to that. You all saw something that need to be correct. We got that over the Budget office. It did need to be corrected. And there's there was a University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: change in some of the the numbers that Council did approve as well. So it's not. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: It's not dipping in as much to the Euget Fund as we had previously. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: been showing based on University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: the data we've received from the Budget office. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Did I get that right? Elliot? Yeah. Yeah. And just about that same time Danica released a bouquet of balloons which was perfect. And you guys didn't see it on the digital world. It was very well timed.

[7:09] But yeah. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: This is a recorded meeting, and it will be ever forever be. But I think. It's the second time that's happened today, and I'm not quite. I feel like I'm not moving. So I'm celebrating too early, apparently sorry. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Right. Did you have a question, though? I did see that you rose your hand? Okay. Having user error. Sorry about that, trying to get my. Scrutiny. Tenant. That's okay. that. That is exactly right, Chris, which you summarizes exactly how the budget process rolled out. And we did get that error corrected. They actually mentioned it during second reading. or maybe it was during 1st reading about a clerical error that was then corrected. So I did follow up with Central Budget post the approval of the second reading, just to confirm that they will back that out, and they have. So that should now be reflected in Opengov, as well.

[8:04] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: So then the thanks for that. Then you know, the I think, though, is that I can't remember how the letter was written, but it was basically, you know, we University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: we raised the issue of council, but it also seemed like there was a consistency with the idea that that you did. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: the fund would be held harmless in the future, and I know you were going to take that back to the city manager, Chris and Elliott. Is that positively received. Yes. So yeah, that is certainly. The language that we developed in the letter together was really wanting. What I wanted to do is make sure that, reflected University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: the message that I've been receiving from the city manager's office how the work that we want to do on the hill should not be held hostage to the amount of funds in the Euget Fund. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: But more a reflection of where we want to go with University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: our commercial districts with that with Hill being an important one, especially with the transformation that we're wanting, anticipating with the hotels and Cumming Center.

[9:10] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: And so you'll hear more from Matt and Regan later, about the 2025 work plan. But this really ties into the district. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Analysis work that's happening. And blueprint work that we'll be pursuing in 2025 to establish what our priorities University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: cost aside. We do need to operate within a fiscally constrained environment, but it doesn't need to be so fiscally constrained that we're just looking at a line item in a fund that, you know may or may not University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: furnish our needs as far as where we want to go with the help. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: And so the current University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: climate of both city council and city manager's offices that the hill is not going to be University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: bound by what's in the Euget Fund when it comes to University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: our prioritization of investment in the future.

[10:02] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Great, I appreciate that. I guess I should add to that. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I did. I have as a Commissioner, you know, if you get the University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: could that University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: communications from the public and I did get a communication from University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Mark Heinritz. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I think it's a former commissioner, but he expressed concern, seeing things after the fact about the spending of that money as well. I think we attended to it by with that letter, but the concern that was raised was that University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: that the funds weren't being spent, and I don't know if this is accurate or not on actual Euget, in other words, it was a transportation cost rather than a Euget Fund cost, and that the money was being spent outside of Euget. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: So I just wanted to raise that. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yes, can I just do that? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: And we'll be closely monitoring that and our role as the stewards of those funds. The Hill Streetscape Improvement Project is is funded by both general fund dollars and Youtube dollars, and so we will not be paying using euget funds to pay for the Median improvements on Broadway. That's that is outside the district and and not

[11:21] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: within the realm of what we would want to spend huge dollars on. But as we're looking to streetscape improvement similar to like what we've already done with the new flower beds and trees by the same. You know the 13th and Pennsylvania area. If we decide through this process that we want to do more of that. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: these funds could be used to do more of that which we've already been doing. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: so they would be spent in the Boundaries end of this University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: right. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Any other items commissioners did want to have around fund financials.

[12:00] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: and we also have our University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: latest fugit University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: visitation report. Anyone have anything there they want to highlight or ask questions. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I think the last time we ended up kind of really going. Yes, I don't know that anyone's gonna have questions just the 1st number on there that they were exactly the same as far as the number. And that just seems University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: very Collincinnati. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: you know. Margin of error. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: 100,000, you know. Yeah. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: But still, you know. Just University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: yeah. But if that's the number, that's the number. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: So thank you for that. And I was expecting actually a lot more interest in our fund financials and some of the reports that Elliot put together because we did have some more information that we haven't previously. And while the Placer AI data isn't showing any dramatic change. We are starting to see some shifts, I'd say. Last year there was a lot of activity on the hill, because there were some bad actors that were

[13:09] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: keeping folks coming to the hill more often late night than they are now. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: And so we saw a dip in activity. But between Chipotle and the Moxie Hotel, I'd say, when we look at sales tax, and with the this semester we are seeing regular increases. So 1st part of the year there was kind of a decrease in activity. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: But now that we've got these openings, we're starting to see some significant improvements. So hoping that that is a trend that will continue. We're University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: sometime to come. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: We will not plan to do big Placer AI reports, unless specifically requested by the chair. We will provide the quarterly reports like we have in this one. If there are big things that we want to point out. We'll bring them up

[14:07] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: and again, if there's a request for us to do a deeper dive we can do that. But when we go to the chair. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: question University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: anything else before we move off of consent, agenda and financial solution. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: which is interesting. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Great! Well, we've reached the portion of the agenda. That is the Hill Boulder update, Jake Hudson. Humphrey. We missed you last time you're back this time. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: ready for your report. Yes, I'm here. Hello, everyone sorry I missed you last time. I don't have a whole lot for you all. I've been had to take some time off the past couple of months. But Halloween, 2 weekends this year went pretty well, at least, according to our ambassador team. Obviously depends who you ask. But compared to last year's cleanup, there was a lot less to do for James and our ambassadors.

[15:10] we also want to highlight a meeting with Excel energy this Friday that the chamber and downtown boulder put together. I've invited all the Hill businesses to attend that this is in response to the outage, the planned outage, and the unplanned outage that happened over the past. I think the planned one was in April and the unplanned one or 2 was a couple of months ago. So this is all. In response to that. We've been trying to get them to meet with business owners, but they set a date and then kind of went back on it. And now this, this is actually looking like it's gonna happen, and there'll be leaders from Excel or representatives from excel there to discuss, and the Chamber in downtown boulder and us have been sending out that information, and hoping to, you know, get a lot of faces in that room

[16:02] We also sent out a ambassador sentiment survey also with downtown boulder partnerships. So, looking forward to hearing back feedback from the business owners about how the program's going. See you, as you probably have heard cus renewing their investment in the Ambassador program, which is great and we've gotten, or I've gotten a lot of good feedback from business owners and from tourists and residents here and there about the program. So those are my main updates. Happy to answer any questions as well. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yeah, Jake, are we gonna be doing any more hill meet up meetings. Yeah, so we don't have any scheduled right now. I'm working with the the Crown Institute to schedule one for the winter. but we don't want. We don't have any on the books right now. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I just thought that was a good momentum that we had going, and I'd hate to back off a bit and

[17:04] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: see it lighten up. Yeah, the the location has been an issue. so if I don't know if anyone has ideas for. You meet at the Moxie, I mean. There's plenty of meeting rooms at the Moxie. Yeah. I reached out to the Moxie and was given a set of prices that we obviously can't afford. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Let me. I can talk to Matt about that. Yeah, if we could meet in the Moxie, that'd be great. I'm definitely running up against some scheduling challenges with the Crown Institute, who very generously gives us their space for free, but does not have a ton of availability so. I'm I'm their representative. So if you need me to Okay. Call and and ask for a favor. I mean I I maybe I don't know. That seems kind of silly, but you know.

[18:01] Sure I appreciate that. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I'm I'm curious, Jake. If you've heard anything about what's going into either temporarily or I'm not sure if it's sitting currently the the old Taco Junkie space. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Are you hearing anything about that space? I have not. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Okay. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yes, I think that I'm wondering if that's it. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yeah, just curious. There's a sign up. But it doesn't seem like University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: it's happening right now. I don't know. It's very strange University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: situation. I can look into that. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: It could be. Why, put a sign up, if you can't actually circumvent? It's very strange. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Thank you, Jake and I just one other question, Jake, I University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I or for everybody. There's a new boutique baby that went in where the lunch shop used to be forever ago, across from

[19:01] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: kind of across from the same. Just the the University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: last University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: score front for you to see a lot. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Anybody see me? No. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I've seen this. I've seen a boutique sign here. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I'll try to. Yeah. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: And then there's a pizza place going into boss lady University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: hundreds. Yeah. And then I don't know what they're doing in the space. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Things are definitely University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: cool. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Anything else for Jake before we live off the hook here, Jake, anything else for us. That's all. Thanks. So. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yeah, thank you for the update.

[20:01] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: All right, we have reached the matters from staff section of the agenda, and I turn it over to Chris. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: all right. Well, I'm gonna be short, and I'm gonna turn it over to Matt on our improvement district analysis. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: and this would be brief. We've had conversations with you and with the other boards and commissions. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: and put in Rfp out on the streets for consultants to start this work that Rfp. Deadline is November 20, second. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: and after review, then we'll finally have a consultant in place to get the district analysis off the ground. So at this point I'm imagining that we'll be putting together the Multi Commission Advisory Group, probably early in the year. But we'll have more information as that comes forward, and so it may be before we meet again. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: But it's it's exciting. We're finally getting this off the ground, and begin the work, and it'll be a quick turnaround. The current deadline schedule that we have for that project does have some deliverable starting in March, so we work very quickly, and keep going forward.

[21:15] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: How did the make sure I'm not jump with the head of my yeah. So if there was University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: did you make the presentation that you made to us? Does that have an account at the Council yet? Yes, in fact, you were our practice. How did that go? Really? Well, yeah. Thank you for asking. Because council did have a few sort of key questions and some guidance. But really. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: around some specifics. There was a lot of not only agreement but enthusiasm around asking some of those harder questions. And then, also, you know, the Improvement district analysis being for the near term for the long term. That's where the excitement really came in on asking the community questions about some big hopes and dreams. And so I think we got some of that.

[22:04] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yeah. So an endorsement to move forward. And so it definitely lit a fire under getting it done. Yeah, sure, and we'll and we talked a little bit last time about the possible interaction between the Comp plan and this improvement district concept. Some. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: you know, but there might be, you know, economic benefits from, for example, zoning changes associated with a with a University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: That is there. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: And so it looks like the way timing goes. The improvement district analysis is sort of University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: front running, and then that could that could University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: then generate information that might be useful for the Comp plan. Discussion is that, yeah, absolutely. You know, we're very keen to not only take full advantage of the sort of overlap there. But also not overburden University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: folks with asking the same question twice. And so we're working closely with comprehensive planning to make sure those things align. But you're totally right. This project is going to be done before engagement really ends on the Comp plan. And so the real connection for us is in the blueprint, because that's designed specifically for the the results of the Comp plan to feed directly into the strategic work over the long term. So there'll be a lot more interaction.

[23:32] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Any other questions. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Thanks. Thank you. Thanks. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Right. Moving right on over to Regan to share updates on our. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I'll go with revitalization efforts. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Have a brief conference line to share with you all. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: What do you mean?

[24:11] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: All right. So revitalization efforts update, I'm going to start by just recapping the success of the Event series this past summer in partnership with roots, music, project so collectively, we saw over 1,000 attendees, actually about 1,500. If we count the event in Boulder Junction. So the 1st 3 were on the hill on the Event Street. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: And then the final Live Music series was in Depot Square in Boulder Junction. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Huge success, University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: sponsorships and local business participation participation was a really big success. We received a ton of positive feedback from attendees. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I do have the final report from Roots music Project with some more details and photos that I'm happy to share out. I meant to include it in the packet, but failed to meet the deadline. So I apologize. But I'm happy to send that to Lisa to share out

[25:10] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: looking ahead in 2025. So nothing is set in stone at the moment. But I have been having conversations with different event organizations thinking about how we in the city can support continued activations on the hill through 2025. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: so again, just know that that's something that I'm actively working on prioritizing it on my work plan, even though nothing is confirmed as of yet. But I'll continue to keep you posted, especially given just how big of success this series was, this past summer University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: creative crosswalk. So this is related to the Crosswalk mural being installed on all 4 crosswalks at the intersection of 13th and Pennsylvania, as some of you already know we are pushing this work to spring of 2025, just to maximize on the lifespan of the mural and avoid the upcoming winter months, and the snow plow season. So the top 2 photos there are.

[26:14] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: it's half of what will be at 13th in Pennsylvania. The other 2 I couldn't download in time to share this presentation, but that's just an example of what it'll look like. And then the bottom one University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: is we're planning to install on the back of the everyday gas station in the alleyway to really enhance the alley in the spring of 2025 as well University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: is that recent new ownership there. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Not that I'm aware of. Okay. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I yeah. I don't think so. Did you hear something? No, it's just the whole staff flipped and changed. Oh, okay, yeah. And they painted the building right? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: It looks much nicer. Right? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Are you? Good again. That's good.

[27:00] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: much nicer or less bad. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Much nicer. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Another work plan item looking ahead to 2025 is exploring the potential of implementing a cultural corridor along 13th Street. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: The photo on the left is not a cultural corridor, but it has potential right? So it would really be an effort to better connect the hill, the downtown and vice versa, and the intent is to improve the pedestrian experience and accessibility and drive visitors and pedestrians key cultural destinations along the way. So we had a kickoff meeting for this work with other city departments a few months ago. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: And we'll really be diving into this more in the coming months. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: What? What cultural destinations in between University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: civic area? Yeah. Civic area fox theater, tea house, tea house

[28:06] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: farmers, market University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: university in University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: some properties that are prime for redevelopment. I got you University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: be less than University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: the arboretum University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: other upcoming efforts, so our department will be partnering with downtown boulder partnership, and the ambassadors to plant flowers on the hill again. This upcoming spring University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: permanent public art project on the hill that our arts and culture team is leading. So the location identified, for this work is University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: the intersection of Broadway and University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Broadway pleasant and 13, th that triangle there, and it would be located where the line grove is currently. So the line grove would be moved.

[29:05] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: That's University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: been identified as an ideal location. So arts and culture is leading that work. And we'll go through a whole public art process. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: another. Sorry that I was just trying to picture my head where that is. It's where the trees are coming. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yeah, yeah. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: there used to be. There used to be a sculpture there. Same space. Okay? And will there be University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: who we have? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Okay? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. I mean. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: there will be a lot of engagement process right now. Yeah, correct. The public art process supposed to do a lot of steps, and there'll be a selection panel identified to select an artist. And then there's also several check-ins.

[30:03] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: And so but there's no more detail. What? How you're actually planning it. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: It's just going to be a sculpture of some sort, I think, because of the location it really sort of is a gateway into the hills. That could be one criteria. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: you know the process will seek artists to actually come up with concepts to consider. So you know, there'll be criteria for sure. But we also want to leave their creativity open. So the criteria is more around. Here's some stuff you can't do now dream up some big ideas. And so it might be sculptural. It might not. Yeah. So there'll be a chance to help an artist understand that place better, and they'll come at us with ideas, and we'll find out University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: yeah. And my my only concern is University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: if it is the gateway, I mean, that's pretty prime real estate for the University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: right, and I just wouldn't really like to see it be something that's University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: a gateway sort of mentality, instead of just something to get, and maybe give it a little bit of place making sort of

[31:06] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: piece to the thing that we've all been talking about sounds like we have a volunteer for the selection process. I am. Of course, I just. I just said, Really, that's such an important place. Yeah. And we've also talked about that as being University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: the opportunity to actually have some sort of University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: welcoming information kiosk, whatever that kind of thing is that that is. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: it's just that that triangle is so usable and important. I just wanna make sure it doesn't just become like what we what it used to be, which was just a random. Not that it was necessarily that just it was. It was a random sculpture that really didn't University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: talk about the hill and its importance. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Make sure that arts and culture at their sort of community with you good ideas, and make sure that we're considering. Can I? Can I jump in really quick.

[32:01] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Oh, yeah, Jake, you're here. Sorry. Yeah, the basically everything you said was correct, Regan, except it's the the location is not the area with the trees that I think Trent or Andrew mentioned. It's right across 13th from that, and it's in front of K. And K. Piercing shop. On the on the north side of Knk. There's like a little triangle of pavement there, where there's a lime grove, and that's where it will be, most likely not the area with like 6 trees in a rhombus shape that's across the street there. And then we are working on identifying a selection panel which currently includes Cheryl lagory Trent, if you or anyone else would like to be part of it, you're more than welcome. I I'll reach out to you and yes, you're correct that no, nothing specific about the sculpture has been identified. Yet we don't have, like an artist selected or anything like that. We're still in the kind of exploratory phase.

[33:08] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yeah, I, yeah, I I volunteer to be part of that. Okay. Cool. Thanks. John. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: We can have up to 2 members of the Commission participate. So as long as everyone's clamoring, and we need to make a decision, or if there's just one or 2 of you that is interested, then University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: only that we'll share the navigator. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Are we doing that right now? We can we could University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Jake, do you? Would you like that specific direction from the Commission right now on who you should be working with? Or is there still time. No! There's plenty of time. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: So we can make sure it's included on on the January agenda. I think that makes sense. Okay University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: with Trent as the leader in University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: this one and the next one. Thanks for clarifying the location. Jake.

[34:04] Yeah, no. Problem. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Alright permanent wayfinding. So, as you all know, we installed the temporary wayfinding signage to better connect the hill and downtown this past spring. So next step will be to strategize a more permanent wayfinding and branding initiative. So something potentially more engaging, interactive. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: something bigger, something more than just signs with arrows. So think of the Boulder Junction way finding icons that we installed this past year. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Where we went through a whole design process, community engagement, and then installation University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: where our head is at University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: for next steps there University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: and then. Lastly, hill streetscape enhancements project which transportation will really be taking the lead on and community vitality heavily supporting that. We'll talk more about that in the work plan presentation, but just wanted to highlight it as a as an upcoming effort.

[35:08] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Quick question on the branding initiative. Is that the same thing that University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: visit Boulder because they've been University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: working on because they keep telling me they have a ill branding initiative. It's University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: not the same, but it'll definitely will work with them to make sure we're aligned on on that University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: again. Putting my hand up to be part of that voluntary yeah, just because it feels like there's all kinds of things going on. Yeah. And there's no University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: yeah. We'll be sure to communicate with other partners. We're working with University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: similar efforts. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Gonna raise my hand there, too. Actually, there it is. Yeah. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: we're working up there every day. It's it's know it like that. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yeah, yeah. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: And I have, yeah.

[36:03] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: So thank you. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Any other questions. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: just since we got an email about it, at least from a community member about holiday lighting. I just want to confirm that we will be putting holiday lighting up on the hill again this, University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: thank you for bringing that up, Chris. I will coordinate with the maintenance team on that. Thank you. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Thank God, thank you. Thank you. Again. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: can I just ask a question on that real quick. I was gonna bring it up in Madison. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: But yeah, so it was just a random person from, that's Josh Watson. He's been pretty active with us on trees. And oh, okay, I I knew I knew the name. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Oh, why, okay. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: all right. Now that we've talked about kind of the ongoing stuff Matt is here to share very, very draft level 2025. Work plan, not comprehensive for community vitality, but a sharing of things that we are just some teasers that are specifically tied to our work on the hill, and a little bit. So Matt, over to you. Great, thank you. Yeah. So

[37:23] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: as Chris said, this is a draft work plan that we're incorporating into effort that citywide, all departments are going through the same thing right now. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: And University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: when we University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: as we get into this, just a reminder that the community vitality department has these 3 pillars. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: And we're going to be focusing on district vitality. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: but they interact with the other 2 pillars pretty strongly. So there's some other things to say about the other types of the work going on in department that matter to this also, if you have any questions about cultural vibrancy or access for all there's extensive presentations we can provide, I'm sure.

[38:04] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: At least information at this point about where the draft work plans are for for all of our different pillars. But when we were dividing up district vitality into several work areas or efforts as we go through this. So we'll go through business support connections and transportation, visual environment policy and strategy and partnerships and project support that we're providing next year. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Oh, my gosh, I can't see University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: what's going on here, because there's video. Okay. So in the category of business support. I'm not going to go through all this, and it's broad. So if you see anything that you want me to dig into Regan and Lane. You may have to help me out. To answer questions, but I'll kind of hit the stuff that might be more interesting to you. For instance. The mobile vending cart program evaluation. So this is a program that happens downtown. You see the carts on the Mall. We want to take a look at University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: how we advertise, who applies for those, how we can improve the look and feel and experience of the mobile vending carts as well as how

[39:08] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: those businesses parlay into the growth of small businesses in boulder, and we also want to examine if there's an expansion that could happen if the civic area. The parks and recreation team is already talking about mobile carts in that area, and the hill is is it's something that's been speculated about in the past, and it's time to revisit that and see if Mobile Bendy carts on the hills. A good idea, something. We'll be coming back to talk to you about a lot by code. They're just not interest correctly University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: to the code, correct. And then we obviously see without the pedestrian zone. It makes it much more difficult to place them. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Are there 4 that are currently University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: they're currently University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: available if somebody would on the hill. Yeah, there's already spaces. Therefore, you know the number of available permits on the hill? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yeah, I mean, only time I get any interest is usually around commencement when someone wants to sell flower lays.

[40:07] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: so we can do better than that. But it, we're we're gonna have to dig in carefully, because University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: if we build it, will they come, or of the other way around. Do we need to examine uses and needs and wants? So that'll be part of what we examine University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: also on this. Oh! University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: The new business welding. Oh, I apologize. Sorry. so do they have to go through like the Health Department to get the mobile vending. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: If they're selling food. Yes. Okay, I know at 1 point I was asking about a food truck up there, and that was really difficult is is the mobile vending cart program a little easier to navigate. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I don't think so. As far as health code regulations in certain ways. Yes. And so, yeah. Mobile vendors are much more

[41:03] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: welcomed in our code in specific locations than food trucks, as they relate to what land uses they're allowed in, and how close they can be to brick and mortar restaurants. Okay? And then they need a place to store. Right? Is that one of the barriers. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: And it's that one. To store their cart. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Problematic as obviously real estate downtown becomes more and more valuable as to where they can be stored, or other vendors just hook it up to their vehicle and take it home within the night. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: It's certainly something that a vendor needs to figure out is where they? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Where do they store at night? Yeah, it seems like this could be a really cool program if you if you could crack it like the creativity even of like flowers, or you know other things that you not just necessarily food. So. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yeah. And you know. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: sort of backing out from your point. It's it's not only you know what they do with their cart, but what their cart looks like, and what that experience is, and the mix of things that they're selling. I think that you're right. This could be something

[42:09] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: quite fascinating for University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: improving vibrancy. yeah, it doesn't necessarily have to be a hot dog. Cart, like, it could be a lot of other things. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: We should have at least one Hot Dog Card. Well, for sure, for sure. But it could be popcorn, or it could be jewelry or yeah. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Or, as some people have said, it could be, farm goods from our the farms we collaborate on open space property with just saying University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: that was for you, Elliot. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Another thing on this list that you may be interested in the new business welcome program. Regan and her team have been working on how we interact with new businesses. What is our role versus the whole boulder and can we do a better job of talking about all the things that the city provides, the responsibilities of businesses. But, more importantly, how we all collaborate and start to build relationships. And so working on that

[43:06] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: have something put together next year to actually be more, much more proactive in how we interact with new businesses. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: So University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: the next work area is connections and transportation. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I know. You know, boulder clean commuters. A pilot that's going on right now in Cajun. Yeah. Where businesses can collaborate with us to provide a a transformation transportation demand management wallet. Did I say that? Right University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: with a company called Communify? So businesses can actually provide for their employees compensation for the costs of using public transportation, other alternatives to single occupancy vehicles, and that gets translated into basically a credit card. They can use only with local businesses, and so University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: still piloting that that may be something we want to expand. But it's the the front edge of a push that we do need to consider this more fully about the barriers to alternate transportation.

[44:07] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I might add on that one. It's University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: still very drafty. We are expanding ecopass privileges to part-time and seasonal employees as well on the hill beginning next year. So you probably been hearing about it in the budget conversation that got approved. And so that will be part of our annual Rtd ecopass contract for hill employees. Yeah, that should have been the headline. That's huge. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: So in issues of the visual environment. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: we talked about the revitalization projects that continues. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: We also talked about the streetscape project that's going to be big and take a little while. But I'm going to transform some things. And we're going to need input on exactly how that works. And so that's a real focus area for us. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: just curious with the the 2. Laggy. What is something happening there?

[45:02] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Gosh, I hope so. No, I'm glad you did, though, because the history there, I mean we need something we're trying to will news to happen, although there is a project not on the hill, but a project to relocate some historic signs from businesses that are gone. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Maybe there's a we have a location downtown that's being targeted. But maybe there's some hill alleyways as well. That could be a good target for some of those. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Not that chilogy sign is going anywhere. No. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: So in areas of policy and strategy, we've talked enough about this, but it's very important the district analysis, the blueprint. We're going to put a lot of effort into this also wanted to mention the Boulder Arts blueprint tracks along the same type of scope as the commercial areas blueprint.

[46:03] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Andrew, I think you were on council when we adopted the community cultural plan in 2015, University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: and University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: that's finally at the end of its time horizon. So this is going to take the place of the culture plan. We're going to have a new strategy for how to deploy it. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Cultural fairs across the city, including on the hill. So there'll be some things to talk about. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: And then, in the realm of partnerships and project support. I'm not going to read all the folks that we regularly interact with. But it is. It does take us a lot of time, and it's time very well spent to make sure that we're aligning these projects to other things going on. That our communications around the issues of business and the workforce and the visitors to the hill. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Is a group effort. And so that's things that we do as a as a matter of course. But there are University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: projects happening across city departments that impact us. And so that's sort of the right hand side there, including. And I think, maybe primarily the Comp plan update. This is a major update of the comprehensive plan. It's going to have a look at not only zoning and land use regulation, but policy across the city that's going to matter. And

[47:22] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: that's something that we're going to put some serious effort into and make sure that not only does that lead to a great older commercial areas blueprint, but that all the underlying policy moves that are recommended in the Comp plan are supportive of. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: you know, community vitalities interaction with citywide strategy. So University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: so I think that's a question. Thank you for saying. Yeah, I didn't see the university or the chamber on there, are they? They be partners. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Moving away. What? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: They're relocating.

[48:00] So see you is moving. That's the big news. I don't know. I just I was thinking they might, I know. Are they partners in in this. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Of course. Yeah. And that was just an error. They are big partners and should be at the top of the list here. Yeah. And in the chamber. I don't know if they're partners. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: For the latino chamber. Yeah, we need to make a more comprehensive list. So we'll make a note of that. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Thank you. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Let's see back to city department projects. Civic area obviously matters, and the connection between the hill and downtown. So that's an important part of the conversation. And the economic vitality strategy which we've just been meeting this morning about that. And to make sure that we're paying attention and maybe better attention to citywide economic strategy. And and that'll be something that we report on later how that might affect. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: So I think that's what I'm saying. Yep. So I just want to make sure there's any, not any questions about our draft plan and what we plan to talk to you about this. All of this will be in your agendas over the course of the year to make sure you're updated on.

[49:08] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I just have one that can you just go back? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Of course. Thanks. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: We moved off it real quick. One more. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Wait. One more. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: The yeah. The affordable commercial grants. Pilot did anything. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I think there were only like 5 people that University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: applied for that. Did anything happen on the hill? No, none of those are on the hill. Yeah. So we are. I mean University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: the applications. We got scored very highly. We're very excited about moving forward with them, but we're at the same time sort of taking a look at how to make that program perhaps more broad in the future. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: and so I don't have anything to report on the future of it now, other than when we come to you and talk to you again. It'll be there'll be a transformation program, and the next time we go out for applications for grants it'll look quite a bit different. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I expect it will work.

[50:01] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Connections between downtown and the hill are really an interesting and difficult question, and I know that there's been, I know for a minute there. There was some University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: concern over the bike path run past the the limelight hotel. It's some superficial thinking around the giant bridge that would take, you know, pedestrians and bikes to and fro. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: it's a bigger question than really just perhaps putting a bridge in, but it's such an important one, Andrew, brought up earlier like oh, what is between University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: downtown in the hill? I don't know. I'm it's more of a statement. I don't know that I even have a question. It just seems like one of the bigger questions is sort of easy to overlook. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: In terms of helping vibrancy generally in Boulder. That connection between downtown and the hills is right there.

[51:00] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yeah. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: it's it's a really good observation. And University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: there's probably things that are in our immediate future. I mean, it's on Council's minds when they're part of one of their priorities. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: And so, you know, we've already begun that work. Some good things happened, and we need to do a little bit more. But there's also that sort of big dream of how to be transformative. You know, a bridge across Broadway is probably. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: you know, it's it's that type of thinking. It's like we need to completely remake the experience, the the structure, the safety University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: so much is involved with that. That seems like a commercial areas, blueprint type conversation that we need to do some reimagining and some big University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: for things to change enough University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: for what we visualize. Yeah, it seems almost as bold as development of something like a world stream. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: There's a lot of stuff there that could potentially happen, but it would need to be a clear vision. And really a lot of

[52:02] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I see Danica's hand. Yeah, I think I don't know where to add this in. But I was I think we're, you know, really focused rightfully so on the 13th Street connection, and and that. But I I was at the Conference Center milestone non ribbon cutting. I don't know what it was event, and and we, you know, a lot of people were there, and we started talking about the connection between the west side of the hill towards the library, and like how a lot of people travel that way as well. And there's, I think, in the Comp plan. It's I think it would be very interesting to look at that area. We, you know, we're so focused on the East Side. But that is also a connection to the civic area and the Library and Pearl Street, Saint Julian. so I don't know. I just wanted to throw that in there wherever that's appropriate. That was really kind of an Aha moment for me to start thinking about that whole kind of Rh, 3, like, you know, kind of

[53:00] area. That's. you know, that that people kind of navigate through, but doesn't have a whole lot of sense of place or connection or safety, for that matter. So I just want to throw that out. There. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Good point, and that whole 11th Street sequence. There's sort of a flag that got planted a couple of years ago with adding some pedestrian lighting along 11th from civic area up into the residents residential area. So I think that that's been called out previously in the Comp plan, and and some actions been taken. But it's a thought that needs to be completed. So I'm glad you brought that up. We need to certainly add that to the conversation. Great. Thank you. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Well, and I just want to add that we installed temporary. Yeah, I think you know, in summary there's a there are. There are more than one way to get to the hill modes and corridors, and we want to make sure that we're thinking about all of them

[54:04] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: as we prioritize. What's University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: where are we gonna do? More intensive infrastructure, for sure. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Tagline. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: More than one way to help. That's right. Done University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: anything else. If you have no more questions. Thank you very much for your time. Anyone else have any questions. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I have an important matter from Staff, and I think to tell Jones, because last year I got a phone call, and he was a little surprised to find out that the over Freeride rail jam was taking place that very day. So I'm here to give you great news. They will be back on Saturday, December 7, th and they are taking over all of 13th Street from University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: you. Went down to Pleasant with a east slope, snow currency of Eldora. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: and a structured ramp, and it was a very well intended event last year, and it got great media coverage, including some unbelievable drone footage that Eldora took so Saturday, the 7th look for the street closures in the morning, and that event to take place. I believe 5 ish? So

[55:20] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: it's it's it's a great, great event. The kids are excited and thriving. I don't know how was your opinion University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: it didn't really affect us so much, but it brought a lot of people to the hill, especially up towards College Street. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: It's going to come all the way down to Pennsylvania. So they'll put the slope of basically in front of 7 11 right? And then well, my fire and rescue insisted that they keep the intersection open, so they'll have the hay bales right there before college. Okay? And then, viewing would be down in the second block. So not all the way, and then, of course, everything has to cut off before. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Do you know if it's

[56:00] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: do you know if the rail is correlated this time University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: the rail. Is it elevated off the ground? Well, or is it the same as last year? I'm assuming it'll be same as last year. So you laid eyes on it. You're ahead of me. It was the big problem is, you can't see it. So everybody was climbing the roofs so every roof University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: across from and it was. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I'm all for fun. But it was super dangerous. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: and people were University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: close to falling. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Just because the view was non existent. So just giving that heads up to anybody University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: handling the event this year. Well, stadium seating would would fix it or elevating the rail and the in the long term. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: so just to University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: it, it was really, I've got video, if you want to see it. It was super cool. I love every second of it, but it was definitely not. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Probably. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yeah. It was. It was dangerous, even from 2011. I recall it saying, all over the roof of folks hearing me. Yeah, very safe

[57:12] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: payments. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: So is there a way to communicate? That is the organizer, or who would be able like to elevate the rail? That's super expensive because you have to. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: It's that's super expensive and difficult. They used to do it like we met on the hills a full setup that they did, and it was really it was really cool, and you could see it from anywhere, and we brought huge crowds into that University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: but having University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: even just I don't know if you can do portable risers like stadium seating riser kind of thing that would fix it also, just because if you're not in the front row, you literally can't see. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: even though they work very closely with Red Bull and Red Bull brains. Red Bull's doing it this year. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Well, as far as I know, they bring a red bull. Announcement kind of they're the PA system as well as I'm sure getting out. Okay, I just just a heads up. I don't know. But as far as you're about elevated seating and viewing, that's it aware.

[58:19] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Okay. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: we can't share the observation. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: It was cool. What was he about? Well, maybe that was like a huge bummer. But Appreciate that. I'm sure my daughter would be on the roof for sure. Now. What about cu? Do they have those kinds of stadium like risers? And or I don't know. Weird, whatever it's called portable risers. Not not. It's not a question for you, Ted. I just wonder. Maybe they might have a resource for that. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: So Lane can bring this feedback back to the special event review team or their consideration and communication the event organizer.

[59:08] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: We don't do the organizing. But University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: if we identify issues, and we request that they figure out ways to mitigate it could be as simple as raising the rail and getting approvals to that, because there's probably a lot of safety considerations that went into the rail being lowered that translated into safety considerations that lead to folks on top of buildings. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: So they they work that out through those special. If there's a cost thing like safety. What was the name of it in the date? Again. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: The application I submitted by University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: The student group is the Boulder Hill jam. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: like they had called it rail jam. In the past years old. Rail jam. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: December 7, th December 7, th

[60:13] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: and then it's probably better. I agree with you. But we we're not going to be able to control what happens on private property. So people, they're still going to do crazy stuff that the city doesn't get to shake our finger. And yeah, and I don't want to be the fun University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: case. It was city buffet University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: property owners. Maybe they can have something about it. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yeah, it was. Thank you for that time. I realize this is big. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I did see it come out. I forget where I saw it, but I did read about it. I forget where that I don't know if there's a Bill University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Newsletter, and they should be flying you to this week before. And then, if you don't happen to be there which you weren't that day. What's happening?

[61:10] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: All right. That concludes matters from staff. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Thank you, Chris. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Like Staff. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: into matters for commissioners University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: the by monthly recap check in or check in recap. As you can tell, I'm having a brain fart. What happened in the last one I'm trying to recall. Was I even there? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Was I there? Who was I with? If that was the last one? Yes, it was. It was. I literally don't remember what happened. I honestly don't. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: yeah, I think you were online. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: it might be why, there was nothing University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: really pivotal that that happened. I mean, we just sort of.

[62:01] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I think we just talk through the stuff that we sort of normally talk through. Anyway, I don't think there's anything that was in that room, and I can't think of anything that we University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: outside of sort of normal business. Okay? So there's our recap. It was a good status call. Accomplish anything out of the ordinary there. Next one is coming up University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: android I. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: And so I am. I was gonna bring that up under. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Remember that item. I am I'm in Washington, DC. All that week for work. So somebody's gonna need this, I'll need to switch this wedding. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Danica, do you happen to be available that day? What date was that? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: This is December 10th at one Pm. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: The reason, I say that is that I think we missed you the last right. You were set up, and then it didn't work out. Yeah, it didn't make it on my calendar. So yeah, I think at one o'clock I can do. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Lisa. Could you ensure? Yeah, that she has a link to that? Thank you. Thank you so much, Janika. Thank you.

[63:05] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Thank you, Andrew, for letting us know. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Alright, and then. Now, here we are at 2025. We can't see priorities. It feels like we only just left University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: 2024 University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: There is a a sheet for us here in our meeting materials, reminding us what our 2024 commission priorities University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: have been. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: and I will kind of just help lead the discussion here to say when I read through this, when I got the meeting materials I didn't really see a big shift or change in what our priorities might need to be. But I would like to have a discussion about what's on this list, and whether or not we need to make any adjustments or add anything. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Does anyone have any things they'd like to contribute?

[64:05] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Does Danica have access to this list? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: It's the last. It's last page of the packet that we were sent. Danica. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Oh, and then there you go! The one thing I would add add, and it's probably University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: the end here. But I mean it's been the subject of all of our conversation is just the University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: the sustainability of University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: district, right? And and how finding a University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: a source of University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: income University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: so that we can continue on. So it's really, partially, it's this improvement district analysis in concept. But University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: to be a little more explicit, it's probably within urban redevelopment. But yeah, to be a little more explicit about that. It's just thinking about the the future of fusion.

[65:06] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I like that suggestion a lot actually specifically calling it out. It's been something that we've talked about in practically every meeting we have here. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: And you, you added there at the end a phrase, the future of Youtube, which I think is University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: part of that. It's like, what University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: what what are we doing here? Yeah, I like that. I didn't. So a question and a thought, a thought. 1st I would. I was thinking, the comp plan involvement that so we're looking for 2025 priorities. Right? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yes, ma'am. I mean I I would put the Comp plan engagement on there, and and getting like being a liaison also to the hill to get those business, you know, then to get them engaged in the Comp plan.

[66:00] and and residents I see affordable housing on here which I love to see always, but I'm not really sure what. I've only been on sport this board a short time, so I'm not sure where what we can or will do about affordable housing, but I love that. It's on the list I see. Affordable commercial is much more. you know. We're more tethered to that. But I I would love affordable housing to be on here. I'm just not sure what our role is. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: It's not in the think portable commercial. I couldn't hear. What was that. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I was just agreeing with you. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: he was suggesting, perhaps even flipping them in like if we listed this, perhaps it's affordable commercial and then affordable housing to increase the focus on the commercial side. Yeah. And maybe the housing is just like housing stability or

[67:02] you know, I I don't know. I guess we don't really play a role in in executing or improving affordable housing. I mean, I guess we can advocate for it. But it's it's maybe it's broader about housing affordability, you know when you say affordable housing. It's like capital A. I don't know if we think about housing, stability and affordability. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yeah, I wonder if it's diluting? We should be clear about what we're really focused on. And when we could put a lot of policy ideas that we would support University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: on there. But University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: but University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: yeah, affordable housing isn't part of. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: in fact, no new. There's no new house. No, there's no housing period in the district, right. I mean, there might be, but it it kinda has its own set of rules right like you pay. It has an inclusionary housing policy, and it's legislative, you know. It's not really like

[68:04] I don't know. I again I don't want to take it off, but I I kind of think we should take it off the list because I don't, and maybe focus on the affordable commercial and affordability. Like, you know, there's again capital A in my mind of like deed restricted. And then there's, you know, how do we create spaces that are more affordable because of their size? Or, you know, I know you guys have. This department's done a ton of work on that. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Then? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: just as we're just filling out ideas here. I wonder if the 4th bullet point right now, isn't that really just connections, which is the connectors that work, and we could just make be more explicit. You know University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: it's isn't it? Just connection between the hill and downtown? Or is there something else we're thinking about? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I recall I don't recall much of our conversation around this, but I do recall adding this, and I think it's it is obviously downtown.

[69:09] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: but it is accessibility to the manager University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: and making sure that there are University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: ways in which people can find themselves out there. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: We had a brief discussion about people coming from South on Broadway, and how they get to the North Denver. Exactly so. It's I think it's inclusive of bigger ideas even than say, just the really important conversation about downtown to them. We talk a lot about placemaking. I think maybe you, if you added that I don't know. It seems like that's a big topic of discussion. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Are you suggesting? That would be a part of, say, a University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: that phrase sometimes. Which kind of speaks to all of it in my mind, like the signage, the murals, the art, the the experience.

[70:06] the visitors experience. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: It's the area phase 2 also plays a big part into that. What I've seen and heard. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: but currently. If these are I. I know these are our priorities and not staff's priorities. So I just, I'm just my 1st time doing this. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: What you raise sounds to me like there's, I mean, there's 2 issues right? There's the issue with the Ted's talking about, which is to access the hill. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: And then I sent. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I think a placemaking is University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: as then University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: making the hill attractive is that, or University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: which is a diff which is a slightly different concept, right? Except for my. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I guess there's an. No, yeah. And I mean to get Jargony. It could be like wayfinding and placemaking, you know it could be. Those are the kind of the 2 elements that we talk about a lot, and then that encompasses a lot of

[71:05] signage and accessibility. And you know, experience. Hmm. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Is, it is the idea of placemaking better positioned within urban redevelopment and collaboration. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I'm just asking kind of a question. It seems like one is very specific to. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: you know, making sure that people can get there easily, and the other is about having a place for people to actually go. And that seems like what we're talking about in terms of the development. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: See who we want to go? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Can I ask a clarifying question, are we voting on this today is this something that we're leaving this room today? We still have one more meeting. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: right? So at the end of the year. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Oh, yeah. So this is it so? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: it's really up to you all to. And this is, these are your priorities. Sometimes they're developed more through a retreat. If if the Commission feels like you're at a point where you need a more facilitated intentional conversation. If there isn't put agreement on what you want to establish as your priorities. Then Staff is here to help you with that process. If that's something that you feel like, you need

[72:22] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: appreciate that. Thank you. I'm feeling scrambled, as you can tell. I don't know. Do we have one more meeting, or did you say no? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Do not. This is our final meeting of the year, and so in terms of settings is your final official meeting of the year we could always hold a special meeting. So yeah. Well, we have a January meeting right. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Sure. I I would love to think about this more and talk about it more. I also think we should explain what we mean. So next year we go. Oh. this is what cause, when I see urban redevelopment and collaboration I'm like, I don't.

[73:03] I don't really know what the intent I understand the words, but I don't know what that. What we were thinking then, you know. Take. were we thinking about the 2 hotels coming and making sure, you know, or I I just don't know what the thinking was. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Good luck. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: It was probably terrible. What was that? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I said it was probably carried over from the year before Danica. Yeah. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: And so we probably have the same question. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I think your your point is a very valid one of maybe having a note of what we mean rather than just a catchphrase. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Trent, or tell, if we decide the 2525 commission priorities. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: do we have the ability to alter them as well throughout the year. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Good. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: This. I don't know. This. I was just wondering. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Well, yeah, I mean, as as a commission we can, we can adjust our our view

[74:04] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: like if something a meteor hits the hill and there's a crater we could go. You know what our priority house. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: We gotta figure out what to do about this Creator. But or we can add more detail to each bullet point. Correct as we go. What is the how are these priorities. What is the University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: that's a really good question. So if Council was requesting a letter from Commission this year, the priorities that you all collectively agreed upon would really help to serve into staff helping draft that letter that would then go to council. Since we're in a University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: the second year of this current council, we're not requesting letters to help inform their priorities because they're going to keep their priorities. So it's not as critical. But I also want to make sure that the work

[75:01] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: that we are doing on the staff side can be reflective of of where you all as a commission would like to be going, and if these don't resonate with you all, then that's University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I'm not going to see a problem, but it's something that we should. We should talk about and consider what what are the steps we want to take to get more clarity, because I wouldn't want you all as a commission to all of a sudden decide. You want to be shifting gears. We can certainly spend time to elaborate but also we want to make sure we're spending this time together as effectively as possible. And that's why I suggested the retreat thing. Because that's University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: typically the time that you, you take a step back kind of evaluate strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats, all those things to to really dive into that bigger picture, conversation. Which University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: in the past this Commission has done it on an annual basis. We just kind of stopped doing that with our commissions, unless unless desired. So

[76:02] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: and again, we're here to provide that facilitation for you all. And it seems like there, especially with some new members. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: That it might be the right time to do that. But I don't get a sense where, like. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: we're coming at this with like people with different ideas, the hill should go one direction versus another. We probably are of a similar mind. Melt at the moment. It's just an issue of wordsmithing right? That we can maybe do in January. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I tend to agree with that. Having said that, I mean, I do look to Trent and Danica, who are newer members to your point, Chris. I think that is an interesting observation you're bringing to the table there. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I would look to the 2 of you to kind of say, well. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: you know how how much of this do you feel like is, say, let's just talk about a series of phrases we can gel around

[77:02] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: versus a kind of comprehensive strategic approach to how, what our priorities are in managing. I I mean, I think that was a question to me and Trent right? I I don't think I need a retreat. I just wanted to. What you guys laughing. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: You said. Sorry. Yeah. Gosh. sorry about that. Tell. And myself. I don't know. I guess that was a question to us, too. I don't feel like we. I think we're close. I just wanted I I think these are broad bucket things. I would love Staff to tell us what they think about them. And you know. if we're out of our lane and or anything like that, so I feel like I, and I'm comfortable. I mean, because because the Council is not taking new priorities, and because I also think they're not, they don't even the retreat. Are they doing a retreat this year?

[78:07] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: No, there will be a midterm check in. So all of that kind of for me takes the pressure valve off us, figuring it out by the end of the year. But if if that doesn't feel right to you, Chris, let me know. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I would say. It's not like we're, you know. We on the staff side are looking to these on the agenda, and they're like, Oh, we're way off target, or we're not meeting the expectations of the Commission, or we're speaking different language. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: They are really broad. They're not really they're not really strategic and specific. They're not smart objectives. It's using the acronym not. They're not really intelligent things to be thinking about. So University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I don't know that they're extremely helpful for us. Currently. Okay. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: It also might not be that right time for a 4 h facilitated conversation that gets to that more strategic series of of objectives that we're all working together on. Is there a middle ground, though?

[79:14] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: There's got to be something between craftian right now and a 4 h retreat. Can we just do this by email. Well, then, I was about to suggest that that we we University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: basically have this conversation to solidify it. January. But in the meantime, we have a conversation. Now, what is allowed? Right? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yeah. So it's your commissioners. And how about email. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: same role? So 2 commissioners can committee it. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: and then communicate with the rest of the Commissioners through staff, and we can include materials in in future packets. So there is. There can be collected communication. Just not. It just needs to be made public, and staff will facilitate making sure that it is all public.

[80:06] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: But I don't. I don't. I mean, I don't think that we're University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: because we're probably not differing on real strategic paths. This is an issue of University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: writing this as best possible. If we all went home, and our homework was to come back with some bullet point ideas we could set aside 15 to 20 min for the next meeting. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: and hammer it out just like we hammered out that letter, you know, that afternoon, and I also would ask, you know, if if people are amenable to that idea for Staff, knowing sort of where we're at, you know, to if you've got University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: you mentioned the use of language. That's that's the strategic and helpful to staff. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: What language would be helpful to you, knowing that what we care about is this, and we can throw out ideas right now. You know this. This sustainable. What happens to you, Jim? It fills up the question, who are we? And what do you want to do right? And then how do we

[81:13] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: foster the the University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: redevelopment of the continued redevelopment of the hill, the placemaking on the hill, the way finding to the hill and coordinate with the community. Right? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yeah, I'd say, I mean, what would serve us really well. And that's why we wanted to share our 2025 work plan. Y'all, those are the things that we think are really important. And it's a lot and and University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: how do your priorities best reflect the work that we're already planning to do. Because if you come up with a priority that's really different than what we've communicated, our intention is, then we're we're we're University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: not working with each other and toward the same goals. So we could certainly again synthesize kind of our 2025 work plans and some hill specific

[82:08] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: objectives University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: and share those with you all from our perspective of how we see the world. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: And then have that for your consideration of January meeting. And then you're all gonna love it, and then we vote on it and and proceed as an option. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yeah, would it? I mean, I'm wondering if it would be possible to do it prior to the January meeting University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: as a way of having the Commission. Then consider that. So that in January we're really just kind of get it to you in a packet. Yeah, University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: there can't be a sure. You know a virtual meeting happening over here. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yeah. So University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: that would be the University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: not that we can't get it to you in advance. It would. Just whatever we send you in advance would would be part of the packet. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: So we can take that from this meeting and figure out how we want to approach it. And I think we probably collectively like that approach a lot better than a half day. Retreat?

[83:11] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Kind of capacity wise. Not that we're not happy to do it. If that's where you thought you were at. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: do we? Would it have to be in the packet that, for example, could you, Calendar, to send? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: You know, in a communication? That's a reminder of the meeting. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Here are the X number of bullet points we talked about, which will trigger all of us to also University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: think about it in advance of the meeting, too, and then show up at the meeting, and everybody's got ideas, or is it where you sort of stuck with putting it in the? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I am hesitant to be volunteering ourselves for more work than we have capacity, especially this time of year. So that's that's where I'd rather, instead of commit ourselves to exactly how we're going to do it. if we could take this feedback back and figure out how we want to approach it and feel of it

[84:08] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: to make meaningful progress by January, yeah, and and hopefully be feeling all good and confident about where we are in January. But I don't want to commit to anything right this month. I have another idea that maybe wouldn't make more work. We I just signed up for the December 10th meeting was that. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yeah, I mean. So, and that's with who. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: That's basically you and I. And then city staff, we're just doing. So what if we asked the other commissioners email staff their ideas. And then we talked about it on December 10.th Yeah, with that. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: That's a blue. Be a faster process. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: That that would be a faster process. Yes. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Well, we but think University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: you couldn't. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: who can't vote for the meeting right.

[85:02] No, but we would bring it to January. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: What are you discussing on the 10? th University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: So if by the 10th we have all the individual perspectives on what the key priorities are for the hill in 2025 depending on. We receive them on December 9.th Then we're University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: then, we won't have any time, right? So we won't have any time to process them, and try. Probably by the end of this week. I'm just kidding. I think it's gonna take each of us long. I think this is a hard space. I'm honest, I mean, the election is like not making my head be very well screwed on so and I hadn't. I'd like to understand him. But I feel that maybe you and I, Ted, could take feedback. Staff gets feedback. You bring it, and we have a the 2030 min discussion. and then we present it back to you all on in January, and we feel if that reflects the group.

[86:05] And, Chris, then you can give us feedback on your work plan, and where we're we're swimming out of our lane, or that kind of stuff. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: So what feels like a good deadline for December 3.rd University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: So if you all by December 3rd so University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: which University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: that's or if you feel like you could all agree that even less time than that, because that's almost a month. Yeah, let's do 2 weeks or something, maybe. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: It's 2 weeks. Feel comfortable to the Commissioners as far as communicating your your wish list for what we, what we want our priorities to be University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: in 2025 University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: feels good to be. Yes. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: alright. So I love. I don't know if we could do you do Google forms, or something really simple, where we could just. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: So you can't. That's the thing is, we can't collaborate in the same space together.

[87:00] No, but a form would. A form would. Just. You'd send that out to us, and we'd respond, and it wouldn't go to the rest. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yeah. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: that makes. And then it would put. And a spreadsheet for you. I'm just trying to make it easy. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Or whatever format. Yeah. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: got it. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: An email, we we will. We can translate anything into any. Okay, voice. Text. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Yeah, so that would be my. I mean, I feel like we're pretty aligned in our all of the conversations we've had to date. So I feel like we can get through this, and I just I would love to hear Staff's feedback as well. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I I would agree with that. I was. I was gonna suggest a wrinkle, and I don't wanna University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: ruin the momentum. I think that's a good idea we should plan on doing what was just suggested. I was. I was planning on putting myself out there as the second. What I mean by that. Is each Commissioner end up sending me their thoughts.

[88:03] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Now I think that there could be between now and the 19th University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: opportunities. If you wanted to have a discussion about what this is, what the priorities might be to reach out to me, so that when you are submitting to staff by the 19, th University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: you've been able to think through this. You've had a partner to do that with this before University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: what what the subject is. So I agree with that. I think that makes certainly less sense to like well. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: as the chair. You know, what are you gonna do? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: but in. And then, Danica, you and I will be then in that conversation with Staff. And so that'll that'll be helpful if if I'm hearing also perspectives, it ends up being a more productive conversation, then University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: maybe, should we make a note for next year to University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: maybe jump on this a little earlier? Yeah, I mean, I apologize. I did not even realize this was in the packet until I reviewed this morning. I got the packet the other day reading the whole thing, and I must have just skipped the last slide or something. I don't know what it was. I was confused because it said, 2024, yeah.

[89:12] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I I could have done a better job. I think of being more prepared for this moment, too. So. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: and it might be just. And my brain's really fuzzy today to our regular business rhythm for all of our commissions is. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: This is about what time every year that we would check in, especially based on community or council feedback, whether or not they're going to want your letter so University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: and again. So it's University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: some commissions. It's retreat time. If that's the route that they feel like they need University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: But certainly not. Doesn't sound like that's the route that you all feel like you need. But we have to figure out some other way to make sure that they're University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: head in the right direction together. I think we're really fortunate that we're primarily, I mean, I know, from talking about each one of you that we're relatively aligned. It's not like there's some.

[90:02] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: you know, crazy thing going on there, but it would be helpful to ensure that what we're talking about in terms of priorities. One we can identify and communicate to one another, and then 2. We really are helping drive where the staff is thinking that they're getting something out of that from us, and it's not just words like paper University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: oops. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Right and sorry. Who do we send that to? Exactly. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: You say it? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: How about. Yes, let's send it to Lisa and University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: copy Ted incoming, or vice versa, whichever make sure it gets to those 2, and then we'll University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: navigate it from there, and then we'll make sure it's all University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: and fully served. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Future documentation University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: right? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Right? University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Anything else on the priorities. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Chicken the can till January, which is great University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: the right idea.

[91:02] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Any other matters from commissioners, any any subjects anyone wanted to bring up University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: in this meeting. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I'm just real quick, just University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: having been up on the hill since the Nazi open. Of all the things that have happened now with parents weekend, you know all these things the tailgates that are happening like University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: it's split. It's changed. It's changed a lot, the vibrancy of it at all. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: the University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: you know, the cleanliness. And yeah, it's it's really markedly different, I think, than it was a year ago. So University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: you know, I just wanted to say good job to everybody. Thank you for doing all that, and it's made a huge difference. We're going in that direction. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: You're here, I agree. I was. One more year of construction, and then that'll be a relief when all that construction is done, too. That's been hard. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I work right there, and the parking has been ridiculous and the deliveries. It's just University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: it's insane. Our buildings on 15, th and it's if someone goes into 15.th They end up on Grandview. They've got to do a crazy U-turn to try to get back out of there because there's no warning, I guess, at 15th and University it says Road.

[92:14] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: but it's no one pays attention to that. So it's all sorts of people end up stuck in there. So. Yes, when the construction is done it will be great. I also lived through when they built the Ibs building, which is right there on 15. My office overlooks that construction. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: I'm telling you. When construction is over I will breathe a great sigh of relief. I've been up on the hill now for 2 different viewing parties at the Moxie with the big screen that they put out. And it's been fantastic. It's been a lot of fun to be up there. I really do think that having the what they call it, the living boulders living room available to people to participate in has been a game changer point. It does feel markedly different. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: and it feels safer. I think, that there's a lot more families hanging out there, too.

[93:00] University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: so University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: we'll take it. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Any other points of order or things we want to bring up in the order. University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: Alright University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: upcoming meetings. Or we mentioned to buy monthly check in. That's gonna happen. Danica and I are on deck for December 10th at one Pm. Our next Ucmc. Commission meeting is 4 Pm. Tuesday, January 7.th University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: This room 300 University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: and that's, I think, the meeting for today. So University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission: and say here. Otherwise we're adjourned.
