<p class="MsoNormal">Good Morning Council,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Attached are two slides with preliminary staff analysis of the potential revenue implications related to a possible exemption of essential hygiene products such as diapers and menstrual products. This item will be discussed durring Matters
from the Mayor and Members of Council tomorrow evening. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Staff’s analysis at this point has been largely based on assumptions made in the fiscal analysis of
<a href="https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb22-1055">House Bill 22-1055</a>, and limited research and conversations with other municipalities within the state. If asked by council to add this topic to the work plan, staff will begin the work of providing a more
in-depth analysis of potential tax implications based on Boulder’s demographics, and a more robust study of cities that have adopted or are considering adopting similar exemptions.
