City Manager approves business incentive for Spectra Logic
City Manager Jane S. Brautigam has approved a flexible rebate application for Boulder-based Spectra Logic for up to $65,000 in rebates. The rebates were authorized for sales and use taxes, and development review and permit related fees.
The flexible rebate program is one of the city’s business incentives, first approved by City Council in September 2006. The rebate incentive covers a wide range of fees, equipment and construction use taxes
“The City of Boulder is pleased that Spectra Logic, a Boulder company for more than 30 years, was able to expand its business in Boulder,” said City Manager Jane S. Brautigam. “The city congratulates Spectra Logic on making sustainability a priority in its building renovation by reusing and recycling to divert almost 30 tons of material from the landfill.”
Spectra Logic is a global leader in innovative tape libraries and disk backup solutions. The company is expanding and recently renovated and moved into an 83,000 square foot building at 6285 Lookout Road in Gunbarrel, occupying a space that had been vacant for several years.
“Spectra Logic staff repurposed all of the existing copper, glass and more than 150 doors and frames when we purchased and redesigned the layout of the new property,” said Nathan Thompson, chief executive officer of Spectra Logic. “We are proud to earn the City of Boulder’s recognition for our sustainability efforts.”
The 2010 flexible rebate program uses social, community, and environmental sustainability guidelines. Companies may choose the guidelines that best fit their company, but they must meet minimum requirements in order to receive the rebate. Spectra Logic has exceeded the minimum community sustainability guidelines. Of note, Spectral Logic has focused on waste reduction by reusing and recycling materials including glass, tile, light fixtures, and hardware in its recent building retrofit. The company will participate in energy efficiency programs such as receiving an energy assessment for its new facility and participating in the 10 for Change Challenge.

Boulder Police investigate Seth Brigham: Capt Under Pants rides again.
Nov 7th
Below is a letter from Boulder city manager to Seth Brigham form anoying city council and staff; followed by a letter from Brigham followed by and article from Boulder channel 1. The question is : Is a citizen allowed to go to the city building and give the staff and council a raft of grief or can you be arrested for it. ??
Seth Brigham “m-fs” #Boulder city council again: Police called. No arrests
It’s true, I blew my “cool” when I saw rules of conduct posted despite the fact the City Council has never agreed upon any set of “decorum rules.”
I interrupted an informal meeting, being in the moment, upset by the actions of City Staff, City Management, City Council? IT WAS IN THE LOBBY< A PUBLIC PLACE.
Who decided to forgo the public process, public comment, as was promised on this supposed future Agenda item??? And, place a set of rules for the public up on the wall in Council chambers where we wait to speak???
And, what about the rules for Council, I didn’t see anything posted?
One of the rules posted was “no personal attacks,” which is an unconstitutional provision, clearly illegal, and what started all this in the first place, when criticism of council members was somehow perceived as a “personal attack.”
The point is, the rules are not there to protect city officials and/or residents, they are posted in an attempt to control the speech and intimidate the speaker, manipulate the “message.”
I was upset and stated emphatically to the Council, who feigned ignorance. My apology for the short interruption in your interview, but, I perceive council as residents, not nobility!
INVESTIGATION, start looking down your own toilet bowl!! Or better yet, hire another consultant!!!
Take your letter, and, as one politician said to his own party, SHOVE IT!
