1 00:04:41,644 --> 00:04:43,524 Thank you for your work. I appreciate it. It's all 2 00:04:43,564 --> 00:04:46,703 I have to say. Great, thank you. More than welcome 3 00:04:46,743 --> 00:04:51,353 to repeat that anytime you like. All right, anyone else 4 00:04:51,774 --> 00:04:55,113 in the room? Don't see anyone else in the room. 5 00:04:55,113 --> 00:04:59,744 And let me just double check online. No one online. 6 00:05:00,649 --> 00:05:06,527 Great. Thank you. Commissioners report. Yes, boy, it was a 7 00:05:06,548 --> 00:05:09,327 full week of activity. So I know we'll probably have 8 00:05:09,348 --> 00:05:10,287 some overlap. 9 00:15:15,836 --> 00:15:20,135 Getting people in and the stability, it just increases the 10 00:15:20,175 --> 00:15:27,515 stability around especially affordable housing so much more. And we 11 00:15:27,515 --> 00:15:31,015 really appreciate the landlords who participate in that. After that, 12 00:15:31,196 --> 00:15:35,975 I ran over to Red Rock's Community College where some 13 00:15:35,975 --> 00:15:45,575 of the instructors in their technical fields there 14 00:15:46,076 --> 00:15:48,935 were doing what they call the ACE boot camp where 15 00:15:48,935 --> 00:15:54,375 they bring in, could be high school students, could be 16 00:15:54,636 --> 00:15:57,895 college students, or there are even some folks a little 17 00:15:57,895 --> 00:16:04,775 bit beyond that in their technical careers that came in 18 00:16:05,756 --> 00:16:12,215 doing some competitions on making using the various machines to 19 00:16:12,636 --> 00:16:19,895 make machines and then have competitions about using those machines 20 00:16:21,996 --> 00:16:25,495 to do tasks and just really neat to see the 21 00:16:25,676 --> 00:16:31,849 collaborations between our community college. War and tech, our technical 22 00:16:32,510 --> 00:16:36,009 high school there. And these were folks that I met 23 00:16:36,350 --> 00:16:41,209 when we did our trip to Tucson to look at 24 00:16:41,870 --> 00:16:46,889 their community college and some of the things that they're 25 00:16:46,889 --> 00:16:52,729 looking at there. So great to see all those participants 26 00:16:52,750 --> 00:17:00,407 as well. Thank you for our parts in open space 27 00:17:01,628 --> 00:17:04,727 for hosting national public lands day again. 28 00:46:02,940 --> 00:46:08,039 Three minutes, due diligence or recording documents, the sale purchase 29 00:46:08,039 --> 00:46:12,599 of that. And the county triffice would also like the 30 00:46:12,599 --> 00:46:16,199 authority to extend the purchase sale agreement as we continue 31 00:46:16,460 --> 00:46:19,079 our negotiations in case it be run out of time. 32 00:46:21,186 --> 00:46:23,565 And other than that, is there any specific you wanted 33 00:46:23,586 --> 00:46:23,885 to add. 34 00:52:04,697 --> 00:52:07,476 Have some aware, just a discussion doesn't have to be 35 00:52:07,516 --> 00:52:14,020 a firm number, but. Any questions. 36 00:52:35,379 --> 00:52:37,678 For 1. 1. 2. 37 01:03:31,445 --> 01:03:33,904 And I think we landed in the best possible place 38 01:03:34,405 --> 01:03:37,744 given the situation and what was put forward by the 39 01:03:37,765 --> 01:03:41,424 city of Lakewood. So thank you for that. 40 01:03:50,580 --> 01:03:55,359 I think Jefferson County has responded incredibly well considering the 41 01:03:55,380 --> 01:03:59,999 city of Lakewood approach, which does not need the standards 42 01:04:00,020 --> 01:04:02,639 that any of this region has set for a number 43 01:04:02,679 --> 01:04:06,079 of years, even before the sphere weather IGA. And so 44 01:04:06,180 --> 01:04:09,359 it's unfortunate. It's unfortunate with leadership changes that happened in 45 01:04:09,399 --> 01:04:13,119 Lakewood, but I do commend Jefferson County for responding the 46 01:04:13,159 --> 01:04:16,559 way we have, but it is less than ideal for 47 01:04:16,559 --> 01:04:20,159 sure. And the only communication challenge I think we could 48 01:04:20,159 --> 01:04:25,599 face is among some of those homelessness prevention advocates in 49 01:04:25,599 --> 01:04:28,799 our VATA who feel very strongly about this. And then 50 01:04:28,799 --> 01:04:31,039 the question is, why did the county make a decision 51 01:04:31,380 --> 01:04:33,839 to take away a million dollars from the 3 million 52 01:04:33,940 --> 01:04:36,939 dollar pot that were set aside for navigation center? And 53 01:04:36,939 --> 01:04:40,239 so I think we should just be prepared. Should we 54 01:04:40,239 --> 01:04:44,719 get questions about that to help explain why this happened. 55 01:04:39,224 --> 01:04:43,363 I think the public facing fiscal stewardship component to this 56 01:04:43,704 --> 01:04:46,803 that you all have discussed a couple different times over 57 01:04:46,843 --> 01:04:50,563 the years with us of having the money sitting there, 58 01:04:50,563 --> 01:04:54,003 not being utilized when we do have increasing issues and 59 01:04:54,003 --> 01:04:57,683 needs and costs. So I think it's both of those. 60 01:04:57,683 --> 01:05:00,163 And I, you know, we work closely to advocates and 61 01:05:00,203 --> 01:05:02,723 we completely understand where they're coming from. And at the 62 01:05:02,723 --> 01:05:05,363 end of the day, we inject the county can't control 63 01:05:05,464 --> 01:05:09,363 what's happening in our VATA. So how long do we 64 01:05:09,464 --> 01:05:12,723 call those funds aside while they continue to work out 65 01:05:13,224 --> 01:05:16,003 possible solutions? But I agree. I think it's something we 66 01:05:16,003 --> 01:05:18,163 need to be careful. Yeah, I think that's a really 67 01:05:18,203 --> 01:05:21,523 good point too. And it's been oppressing issue for us 68 01:05:21,944 --> 01:05:25,523 for four or five years now. Yeah. That's exactly that. 69 01:05:27,224 --> 01:05:34,163 As much as some of this is unsettled or unsettling 70 01:05:35,144 --> 01:05:37,763 the point thinking back five years ago when we were 71 01:05:37,803 --> 01:05:41,283 having these conversations, we have, here's our six million dollars 72 01:05:42,264 --> 01:05:44,951 in three and three and all of that. And, um, 73 01:05:46,592 --> 01:05:51,291 three of it's spent. And knowing that as unsettled as 74 01:05:51,552 --> 01:05:56,331 the other three million might be knowing that, um, a 75 01:05:56,331 --> 01:06:00,251 million of that will go to actually helping our unhoused 76 01:06:00,251 --> 01:06:07,136 population in the next year. Gives me some, some comfort 77 01:06:07,317 --> 01:06:12,896 there, but also, you know, knowing that the other, it 78 01:06:12,997 --> 01:06:18,029 sounds, um, I'm guessing since you mentioned. The idea around 79 01:06:18,450 --> 01:06:23,369 Westminster, uh, maybe doing something similar thing that that's out 80 01:06:23,369 --> 01:06:26,269 there and I know that that had bubbled up a 81 01:06:26,269 --> 01:06:29,858 little bit. Uh, a month or two ago that I 82 01:06:29,959 --> 01:06:35,458 had heard something, uh, so obviously our dad knows about 83 01:06:35,498 --> 01:06:40,258 that discussion now. The deputy city manager said it openly 84 01:06:40,759 --> 01:06:44,818 in our monthly meeting. Okay. So, um, that's out there. 85 01:06:44,818 --> 01:06:48,338 So our value was the first site to it potential 86 01:06:48,378 --> 01:06:50,898 navigation center. They actually owned land for a navigation center 87 01:06:51,239 --> 01:06:54,418 at the very beginning. That was our, our like promise 88 01:06:54,458 --> 01:06:56,098 at the very beginning of how quickly it could be 89 01:06:56,138 --> 01:06:59,178 done, but their council decided to sell the land. So. 90 01:07:02,881 --> 01:07:05,420 For a couple of points. So, um, I do like 91 01:07:05,681 --> 01:07:07,900 in the first time I've been here, it's an amazing 92 01:07:08,081 --> 01:07:10,860 amount of work you all have done responding to the 93 01:07:10,900 --> 01:07:17,100 call and in a very broad geographic range. So I 94 01:07:17,100 --> 01:07:20,540 think we should take note of that. I do think, 95 01:07:20,540 --> 01:07:22,780 I mean, one of the things I carry and Kate 96 01:07:22,820 --> 01:07:26,140 and I have talked about is thinking, um, being able 97 01:07:26,140 --> 01:07:29,740 to be more comprehensive in our thinking and our approach 98 01:07:29,841 --> 01:07:32,300 towards homelessness. And I, and I think that's been the 99 01:07:32,401 --> 01:07:34,860 intent all along, but it's been a little bit of 100 01:07:34,900 --> 01:07:37,820 a scramble. So we just got to plug the holes, 101 01:07:37,820 --> 01:07:40,620 right? Um, whether it's cold weather, whether it's a navigation 102 01:07:40,660 --> 01:07:43,820 center, I think there's some time now and things are 103 01:07:43,860 --> 01:07:47,180 established that we can think more comprehensively in our conversations 104 01:07:47,201 --> 01:07:51,340 with our, uh, with our partners, uh, and then Lesail 105 01:07:51,340 --> 01:07:53,500 just offer, I am, I forgot, I am going to 106 01:07:53,500 --> 01:07:55,980 visit the navigation center next week and have a conversation 107 01:07:56,020 --> 01:08:01,340 with Travis about what, just to understand center and then 108 01:08:01,761 --> 01:08:05,900 how we're going to approach the conversation next year. Yeah. 109 01:08:05,900 --> 01:08:08,460 I think my frustration stands through the fact that we 110 01:08:08,641 --> 01:08:13,180 have been very comprehensive and strategic and collaborative with the 111 01:08:13,220 --> 01:08:15,980 cities in dealing with this issue. And it's a critical 112 01:08:16,001 --> 01:08:19,740 issue that we all have to step up and address. 113 01:08:19,740 --> 01:08:23,827 Um, understandably. And I really respect the work that our 114 01:08:23,867 --> 01:08:26,067 team has done and how you've really lifted this up 115 01:08:26,088 --> 01:08:29,267 through the regional forums and more. And I think this 116 01:08:29,528 --> 01:08:32,627 is a case where we had a huge surprise as 117 01:08:32,627 --> 01:08:36,147 we know from one of our partners and doing our 118 01:08:36,187 --> 01:08:39,907 best sort of navigate this specific piece of it and 119 01:08:39,907 --> 01:08:42,067 just making sure that it doesn't have a ripple impact 120 01:08:42,488 --> 01:08:45,427 on the good strategies that we know actually work at 121 01:08:45,467 --> 01:08:47,427 a responsive, especially during extreme weather. 122 01:08:55,526 --> 01:08:58,545 I was going to do my, my best invitation of 123 01:08:58,966 --> 01:09:01,665 Joni Goose. Can you tell me how, how much money 124 01:09:02,326 --> 01:09:11,265 did he put into the construction of Edwin? 125 01:09:12,726 --> 01:09:19,345 I know like what the navigation hears in like what 126 01:09:19,345 --> 01:09:21,425 I know that they put a lot of skin in 127 01:09:21,425 --> 01:09:25,185 the game. I have any of the other cities put 128 01:09:25,286 --> 01:09:29,345 money in like how much did you? Was there two 129 01:09:29,366 --> 01:09:33,185 millimeter? Oh, three million. We couldn't have any of the 130 01:09:33,225 --> 01:09:39,750 other cities than a. Right. They are contributing. Right. 131 01:09:45,451 --> 01:09:51,030 There's been limited, uh, contributions. Okay. I just, and I 132 01:09:51,131 --> 01:09:58,190 won't go through each city then as congressman Nagusa, he 133 01:09:58,190 --> 01:10:06,456 would, he would do it in a. Very. Statistic way. 134 01:10:08,957 --> 01:10:12,356 Talking about potential ways of looking in the future, uh, 135 01:10:12,356 --> 01:10:16,713 talking about the point in time. So in my mind, 136 01:10:16,713 --> 01:10:20,553 I'm seeing the point in time, uh, finding people where 137 01:10:20,593 --> 01:10:26,929 they are. And counting them where they have, are we, 138 01:10:26,929 --> 01:10:31,969 do we locate folks at the point in time survey 139 01:10:32,070 --> 01:10:36,413 that we locate them specifically. Whether they're on this side 140 01:10:36,453 --> 01:10:40,333 of the street in Jeff, though, unencorporated or this side 141 01:10:40,333 --> 01:10:45,827 of the street in likewood. Yes. So our point signed 142 01:10:46,248 --> 01:10:50,467 is divided out with regions. And that's how we get 143 01:10:50,507 --> 01:10:56,387 the percentages of our population of homelessness. Um, the only, 144 01:10:56,387 --> 01:10:59,907 the one factor this last year, the discrepancy is because 145 01:11:00,328 --> 01:11:06,627 our motel vouchering, um, defaulted to our address, the county 146 01:11:06,627 --> 01:11:11,956 address, which is located in golden. Goldens, point time count 147 01:11:11,977 --> 01:11:19,476 reflex 430 something. I have asked in DHI to pull 148 01:11:19,516 --> 01:11:23,556 that out and make that differentiation. And I'm not getting 149 01:11:23,657 --> 01:11:27,236 very far. So it's another just disclaimer asterisk to the 150 01:11:27,276 --> 01:11:30,996 point time count. But yes, they are designated by an 151 01:11:30,996 --> 01:11:35,636 incorporated Jeff co and each municipality for the percentage based 152 01:11:35,636 --> 01:11:37,796 on how they answer. So they could be in Lakewood 153 01:11:37,836 --> 01:11:41,476 at one of the events where their services and items 154 01:11:41,476 --> 01:11:44,196 being provided. But if they identify that they stayed last 155 01:11:44,196 --> 01:11:48,217 night in Westminster, if they will count as Westminster. Yep. 156 01:11:49,384 --> 01:11:52,563 So it comes down to how that's answered. That's a 157 01:11:52,603 --> 01:11:56,083 survey. And they're in a motel. The motel could be 158 01:11:57,384 --> 01:12:02,318 in wheat ridge. Yet they spend most of their time 159 01:12:02,579 --> 01:12:06,158 in like winners. Yeah. And we did last year instead 160 01:12:06,158 --> 01:12:09,998 of going out, um, because we sheltered, I think there 161 01:12:09,998 --> 01:12:13,598 was almost 400 that we sheltered the magnet point time 162 01:12:13,699 --> 01:12:17,198 count. Um, we did vocal surveys, uh, with them instead 163 01:12:17,219 --> 01:12:20,878 of, uh, the individual survey. So that's why they all 164 01:12:20,899 --> 01:12:24,718 fell into, because we wanted to capture numbers, um, that's 165 01:12:24,758 --> 01:12:27,518 why they fell into the one address rather than where 166 01:12:27,518 --> 01:12:36,382 the motel was located. So no matter how the hundred 167 01:12:36,382 --> 01:12:41,262 percent most fair way of doing this, um, the nuances 168 01:12:41,283 --> 01:12:47,324 to it. Yeah. I know none of our entities and 169 01:12:47,324 --> 01:12:51,244 Jeffko would ever do this. But also, you know, point 170 01:12:51,284 --> 01:12:54,204 times coming up next week. Let's make sure our numbers 171 01:12:54,305 --> 01:12:57,164 are lower. I know none of our entities would ever 172 01:12:57,825 --> 01:13:00,324 think of doing something along those lines. But it is 173 01:13:00,324 --> 01:13:04,723 something liquid. Expressives with the numbers. They do express the 174 01:13:04,763 --> 01:13:08,003 nurse sometimes that while we're holding magnet events and liquid. 175 01:13:08,003 --> 01:13:10,463 So this drawing more people in it. Like there are 176 01:13:10,463 --> 01:13:12,723 those types of, but yeah, the intentional moving people, that's 177 01:13:12,723 --> 01:13:15,683 not happening, but there is some arguments that will make 178 01:13:15,723 --> 01:13:18,723 after a daughter's two painting wise, some numbers are higher 179 01:13:18,763 --> 01:13:23,443 than others. And the navigation center being in Lakewood and 180 01:13:23,443 --> 01:13:26,803 not even near a border in liquid. It's smack in 181 01:13:26,803 --> 01:13:34,477 the middle. Of liquid. So, um. I'll just ask how 182 01:13:34,477 --> 01:13:38,877 much money did Jefferson County put in three million. Yes. 183 01:13:39,778 --> 01:13:44,574 Okay. I'll stop similar to six on the new mount 184 01:13:44,574 --> 01:13:47,886 we're going to put in. So I'll read that. Um, 185 01:13:47,886 --> 01:13:53,726 we are asking direction support for bringing asking direction of 186 01:13:53,747 --> 01:13:58,046 the hearing for the chair for the BCC to delegate 187 01:13:58,086 --> 01:14:02,530 authority to the county manager to sign this IgA. Um, 188 01:14:02,570 --> 01:14:05,010 it is over 500, 000 dollars. So we will need 189 01:14:05,050 --> 01:14:06,930 that signature authority. 190 01:20:21,690 --> 01:20:25,676 Who share some recommendations or appointments to two boards. The 191 01:20:25,716 --> 01:20:30,156 airport advisory board, as well as the community correction sport. 192 01:20:37,592 --> 01:20:44,291 All right, so we are seeking to fill four upcoming 193 01:20:44,552 --> 01:20:51,942 vacancies, but then also recommending. Additional members, Cammy Welch filled 194 01:20:51,963 --> 01:20:55,542 a fifth spot on the airport advice or reward. 195 01:21:07,645 --> 01:21:09,624 And if you flip to the next one, you'll see. 196 01:25:23,694 --> 01:25:28,713 To realign those expenditures with the board's original 2025 and 197 01:25:28,753 --> 01:25:35,798 10th that those funds be covered by RPPF. The transition 198 01:25:35,979 --> 01:25:40,438 did not occur in 2025 and it wasn't appropriated in 199 01:25:40,539 --> 01:25:45,261 2026. Those funds have been set aside, and this will 200 01:25:45,261 --> 01:25:48,301 not change the savings numbers that you've been looking at 201 01:25:48,402 --> 01:25:49,901 during budget developments. 202 01:36:00,356 --> 01:36:03,899 Folks to drive and park. We would see it more 203 01:36:03,899 --> 01:36:08,947 as a neighborhood access. If I remember correctly, Joe Kirby 204 01:36:10,088 --> 01:36:15,507 was working. There were some folks experiencing homelessness who used 205 01:36:15,507 --> 01:36:20,867 that area quite a bit, that the neighbors that done 206 01:36:20,888 --> 01:36:25,587 some work with the neighbors and stuff addressing that. So. 207 01:36:28,263 --> 01:36:33,042 Well, hopefully we get that roundabout and until they're talking 208 01:36:33,082 --> 01:36:35,522 about, like I said, everything should be designed so we 209 01:36:35,522 --> 01:36:45,259 don't have to rebuild. Like 210 01:36:45,440 --> 01:36:48,219 road capacity. How do you think about ecosystem capacity by 211 01:36:48,240 --> 01:36:54,379 increasing your doubling your parking spaces? Just more property, Aaron, 212 01:36:54,379 --> 01:36:56,379 you and I have talked about just people always trying 213 01:36:56,379 --> 01:36:56,619 to balance. 214 01:47:29,242 --> 01:47:34,692 Helps pedestrians. Crossing. I mean, that doesn't address being on 215 01:47:34,692 --> 01:47:37,652 the side of the street. So I appreciate your comment 216 01:47:37,833 --> 01:47:40,172 about, is there a way to bump it up? I 217 01:47:40,172 --> 01:47:43,412 don't know, I haven't looked into that yet. Design takes 218 01:47:43,452 --> 01:47:47,392 time. You know, it's not a slip of switch, but 219 01:47:47,392 --> 01:47:51,412 to the extent, we can push this up anywhere on 220 01:47:51,452 --> 01:47:56,799 the list for design in 2027. And certainly construction. I 221 01:47:56,799 --> 01:47:59,039 will ask about that. Well, and let me ask you 222 01:47:59,039 --> 01:48:03,359 this, Commissioner, would you be comfortable providing direction to our 223 01:48:03,399 --> 01:48:07,359 county manager to do exactly that we're born, not just 224 01:48:07,399 --> 01:48:10,559 wanting to kind of row commissioner? I like to think 225 01:48:10,580 --> 01:48:17,119 I am. But I also think that's right. I think 226 01:48:17,220 --> 01:48:20,639 it would be helpful to maybe in a future briefing 227 01:48:20,660 --> 01:48:23,279 or maybe it's a Wednesday meeting, just to hear back 228 01:48:24,500 --> 01:48:28,239 from Verdenbridge, given the concerns with your community today on 229 01:48:28,279 --> 01:48:31,796 what might be possible. In terms of keep the most 230 01:48:31,897 --> 01:48:36,345 kids safe. And I recognize this is. I just think 231 01:48:36,385 --> 01:48:39,105 it would be good to be able to say, we 232 01:48:39,105 --> 01:48:41,865 heard those concerns. Here's what we think we can do. 233 01:48:41,905 --> 01:48:43,945 Here's how we might be able to balance it given 234 01:48:43,945 --> 01:48:47,545 the fact that it was set for more than a, 235 01:48:47,545 --> 01:48:54,276 it was set for 2027. It was a construction. Yeah. 236 01:48:54,297 --> 01:48:56,836 Just one other thing I wanted to, are you okay? 237 01:48:56,937 --> 01:49:04,673 Oh, yes. As I look at the map here. I 238 01:49:04,694 --> 01:49:11,467 drag this word right here. It's not talking, but I 239 01:49:11,568 --> 01:49:16,347 have not gone left or right on 52nd here before. 240 01:49:16,347 --> 01:49:22,667 So along war, there's quite a few businesses and everything, 241 01:49:22,667 --> 01:49:25,307 but also on the other side, on the east side 242 01:49:25,307 --> 01:49:31,321 of the board, there's. Looks like a five - owl 243 01:49:31,321 --> 01:49:38,204 house. Pretty dense. Carbon townhouse 244 01:49:38,945 --> 01:49:43,484 area. And then there's another one a little bit further 245 01:49:43,825 --> 01:49:47,964 east. And then the more neighborhoods over there. So what 246 01:49:47,964 --> 01:49:50,844 I heard from Friday and what we heard today were 247 01:49:50,844 --> 01:50:00,766 all folks who live west of Drake. Estates. 248 01:50:04,700 --> 01:50:07,159 But I'm guessing that there are folks over on the 249 01:50:07,580 --> 01:50:11,639 east side that might have, and maybe it's not as 250 01:50:11,639 --> 01:50:18,063 much of an issue because obviously the. Stoplights and stuff 251 01:50:19,444 --> 01:50:24,943 at 50 second, they're award and everything. But just also 252 01:50:24,983 --> 01:50:28,303 wanted to make sure because it's kind of a business 253 01:50:28,804 --> 01:50:33,623 slash industrial area. To get through from ward over to 254 01:50:33,804 --> 01:50:38,362 Drake. So just want to make sure that if there 255 01:50:38,402 --> 01:50:41,722 are folks over to these side. Yeah, appreciate the comment 256 01:50:42,063 --> 01:50:46,682 about being contextual and having not just the ones stripped 257 01:50:47,663 --> 01:50:49,882 that came up in the comments today, but hope you're 258 01:50:49,882 --> 01:50:50,202 a little brother. 259 01:51:14,406 --> 01:51:15,585 So we will do that.
