CORRECTION: Open Comment Sign-Up for City Council Meetings goes Electronic.
The city has abandoned the idea of Electronic Sign-up because it overlooked several problem areas which would give computer savy people an advantage. Some people in Boulder are illiterate and can not write. They have a difficult time as it is when speaking and or signing up to speak. They usually require the help of the city clerk to fill out the blue form which requires their name, address, topic of comment and a signature. It is not often that the city has illiterates who come to speak before council. The last was a rancher turned artist named Father Rainbow.( previously Harold Geer Folsom) He had legally changed his name in 1994 where the clerk had to help with the forms. So for now electronic sign-ups are on hold.
I Love Boulder campaign provokes some
The cities I love Boulder Campaign has produced one video so far produced by the city. It has played hourly on Channel 8 and channel 22. The idea was to promote ‘brand loyalty’ to our town and attract tourism. It seems the reverse has happened. Right wing talk show hosts in Denver started making fun of Boulder calling the campaign a self absorbed love fest of the smartest prettiest people. This led to Bill O’Reilly of Fox News to create a contest naming Boulder the most narcissistic city in America. The city is now looking at other opportunities to promote Boulder in a positive light.
Board of Decency and Community Standards being formed
The city is now accepting applications for the newly formed Board of Decency and Community Standards syn BOD-ACTS. The T doesn’t stand for anything but we needed it to convey a message about any bodily acts that are deemed indecent. The board came about by people who think it is funny to run around Boulder naked with pumpkins on their heads. We realize it is only Halloween but the city feels this practice might spread to other Holidays such as Easter which will be coming up at the end of the month. Easter is a Christian Holy day and we didn’t want to leave anything to chance. BOD-ACTS will also take into account appropriate dress at city sponsored functions including planning meetings and Band on the Bricks . The city wants to set a good example of proper attire.
