Gov’t watch: Jan. 3, 2024

What your local elected officials are up to

By Will Matuska - January 3, 2024

Boulder City Council

Council will hear the results of the 2023 Community Survey, a comprehensive poll that measures citizens’ satisfaction on a number of issues. The last survey was conducted in 2018.

Officials will also check in on Boulder’s facilities master plan, which calls for consolidation of City buildings into two campuses (East and West) and increased investment in infrastructure.

6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 11 — virtual. Watch on YouTube or Channel 8 (TV)

Boulder County Commissioners

The Board of County Commissioners will have its 2024 reorganization meeting, which includes the State of the County address, on Tuesday, Jan. 9 starting at 9 a.m. Other agenda items include a public hearing on Parks & Open Space’s 2023 real estate acquisitions (11:30 a.m.) and a Commissioner decision on the proposed changes to short-term and vacation rentals in unincorporated Boulder County at 1 p.m.

If adopted, amendments would require short-term rental units to be the owner’s primary residence. Those rentals would be allowed in all districts and subdivisions, but vacation rentals still wouldn’t be allowed in subdivisions. Staff also recommended limiting the number of vacation rentals in the county. 

The Commissioners will also make decisions following public hearings on Thursday, Jan. 11 about permitting a seasonal structure at Boulder Country Club (11:15 a.m.) and a special review request for a vacation rental on Nebo Road at 1 p.m.

Agendas are subject to change. Full agendas are published online one day before meetings at boco.org/Meeting-Portal.

Attend virtually through Zoom or in person at the Boulder County Courthouse, 3rd Floor, 1325 Pearl St. Visit the open meeting portal to search videos, agendas and live meeting streams: bit.ly/meeting_portal
