Dear Council Members and Hotline followers,


I am writing to notify you of an addendum to Item 5A<https://acrobat.adobe.com/link/review?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:4e24acea-ea9d-3bd1-ac20-922f873ee665>- Comprehensive Flood and Stormwater Master Plan (CFS) Acceptance. As discussed on page 3 of the Item 5A memo, Planning Board recommended council acceptance of the CFS and approval of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan (BVCP) Summary language. The BVCP summary language is being added as an addendum to Item 5A and reads as follows:

Stormwater and Flood Management Utility
The Comprehensive Flood and Stormwater Master Plan, adopted in 2022, provides the policy framework for implementing programs and projects in the Stormwater and Flood Management Utility. The purpose of this Master Plan is to improve the management of stormwater and drainageways to help protect people, places, property and ecosystems in a way that builds resilience and is consistent with community values. This update was informed by community input, lessons learned from the 2013 flood, Boulder’s Racial Equity Plan and the increasing evidence of climate change, among other considerations. It outlines a long-term vision for how to complete major projects and recommends guidelines and standards for carrying out day-to-day operations of the Utility.

Key Outcomes and Recommendations include:
•Prioritize Projects to do the greatest good first;
•Provide services equitably;
•Make infrastructure resilient to climate change;
•Prepare for the extremes;
•Inform the community to create a prepared community;
•Maintain the system we have; and,
•Adequately Fund the Program.

In consideration of the BVCP summary language, the motion language is hereby requested to read as follows: Updated Suggested Motion Language:
