Relocating in advance to activity items, conversation of the draft, 2,000, and 23 plan declaration on state legislative issues.It is that time of year. Attachment to Rich Morrow, Director of Legislative Affairs, the flooring is your own. Great night, Mr. Chair and directors. Thanks. So yeah, you ' ve got.
Attachment C and this is the record that was presented to you. Last month and given an opportunity to examine and make comments and it ' s back This month with one. Additional recommended amendment that. Recommended by Supervisor Speer.Behalf of city of Boulder. Do you wan na speak to it, Supervisor Spear? Certain, again, delighted to'do that. Let ' s just, fast little bit, amendment. And primarily this was trying to
obtain at the acknowledging that the direction the expenses are heading, they ' re most likely to involve some land use policies. Similar to what mentioned in our mitigation activities plan and even if the housing problems of the legislature is, least it seems like they'' re intending to resolve their very closely tied to land usage plans. We were simply wishing maybe a little a lot more specific concerning our choice on just how the state would certainly involve, engage on land use concerns. Basically just dating that for Dr. Our preference is for a reward, a incentivization approach over a required approach which this, overall choice includes land usage too. Thank you and I think we ' ll see if there ' s any other. Remarks from the other supervisors. Or else, If there ' s any other remarks about anything that you didn ' t bring up in the past, we can consider those 2 otherwise enjoy to amuse a motion and I see Mr.Chair, I see, Director Sandra ' s hand up. Dr. Sandra. Thank you. Yeah, we just really had our CML meeting. Recently and'chatted about, some of the expenses turning up. And it appears like a great deal of what we saw in 2014 is being disintegrated right into smaller. Portions', I believe a few of the concerns are still around the. The the TOD areas. And, I wear ' t understand. I guess we simply need to maintain an eye on that again, since as we recognize, RTD and the actual regularity feature the manner in which it need to if we were mosting likely to really incentivize, frequency feature the manner in which it ought to if we were going to actually incentivize, transportation over lorries. That doesn ' t in fact take place for a lot of us, particularly beyond the midtown area so just maintaining an eye on that particular. Especially as it connects to that land use for the I value Okay, thanks. Supervisor Harrison, you had your hand up and after that disappeared. Are you great? Okay, directory. Thank you. I', well, I intended to talk to one more, very little, amendment that I didn ' t send in advance.Are you are we still reviewing, Supervisor Spears proposal? Or I assume, allow me recognize, Richard or Doug, if you really feel in different ways, yet I believe you can make other other comments now too. . Okay, yeah, I, and'I do apologize for not sending this in advancement. On the, in the housing section where it speaks about Hmm. That ' s release and it ' s page 32 package. Where it speaks about real estate tax relief to help in reducing the tax obligation practicality that specifically burdens low-income senior citizens and older adults on repaired income.I wonder if I want to recommend a modification. That would add language that would consist of moderate'revenue homeowners'in locations with quickly rising property worths. And what this accesses is. Areas where also modest revenue individuals are seeing their home.
Their residential property worths rise to quite jaw-dropping. Numbers and their building tax obligation responsibility were increased commensurately, whereas they ' re, very, you know, small revenue people. It would certainly. The language that I recommend is. To include after. Low income seniors on a moderate income house owners in areas with swiftly increasing building values. And older grownups on dealt with revenues. Hmm. Okay. Director Harrison. What would we specify as moderate? In terms of, in regards to income. Where we go according to what we understand. Or what ' s around. Prize Levy, did you have a believed on that or team? I wear ' t in fact, I indicate, we speak about low incomeincome seniors. You understand, I wear ' t know that these are demand to be.Precisely specified. Cool. Someone was finding at your front door. Amazon. Yeah. Supervisor Harrison, was that enough of a solution or would you such as? Well, I indicate, I think I concur with the with the sentiment and attempt and in regards to what we ' re trying to complete attempt to maintain individuals in their homes. I guess it ' s simply an inquiry of what we take into consideration modest. Low in regards to those braces. To ensure that we can generate some sort of expense rate. In tomorrow. If I may. Mr. Chair, we do. We do have, as Supervisor Levy mentioned recommendations to low earnings without defining low And in. That a person that we currently have in the existing statement. On the screen there. Increase financial backing for financing and grant programs for modest and low income real estate. We haven ' t defined that either. Personally, I ' m comfy with. Kind of basic understandings of of what those implying. I mean, but undoubtedly. Will choose what the directors make a decision. And I ' ll simply claim, you know, it ' s not. I think it'' s just a kind of plan direction.We put on ' t need to. Truly parse the precise numbers or what we would certainly any of our jurisdictions we shed in real estate tax earnings. It ' s just acknowledging. The impact of the climbing property values on on individuals that don ' t. Whose earnings aren ' t rising at
the exact same rate. I concur with that from the policy direction. I ' m penalty. Okay. Supervisor pack Yes, I ' m assuming that we would certainly, utilize the HUD meaning. Of budget friendly and reduced earnings with the and I ' m presuming moderate would certainly be in the attainable of portable. Which would be 120. To, 1 50 or 80 to 1 20. So, if it needs to be defined.I wishes to utilize the hub interpretation of what reduced and moderate'earnings is. That ' s excellent input. Okay. Thank you. Director Muldi. Thank you. Yeah', I sustain this proposition. Since there are many locations where those that desire to have tax alleviation. May not gather the full assistance. Of their controling bodies to lower a as a great deal of individuals have actually urged to be done and it The rationale might be that most residents don ' t require it. The reasoning for the opposite is that there are numerous citizens who do require it. And to include this sort of terms. That there would be. Tax obligation alleviation propositions. That we can sustain for those that do require that alleviation. In the moderate to low earnings area. It would definitely alleviate the issue. That some are thinking. For some areas. That there aren ' t people in demand. Whereas we have these continuously climbing tax obligations and enhancing male levees. So. I ' m full support of it for that reason.Thank you, Clara. Web traffic, treacherous spear. I assume supervisor, Ner, have actually led me. Yeah. Okay, I ' m sorry. I ' m just going based on what ' s on my screen, however straight from'your MALE, if you desire to proceed, we ' ll return. Thanks, Supervisor Spear. I'am additionally encouraging of catching the moderate
income homes. I recognize that I would be hesitant to put an exact number since I seem like the state type of and various other in certain divisions type of waffle between.Around the meaning', 100, 2,040, to 160 often'. The only point I would certainly, you understand, perhaps it ' s a simplified declaration of. Safeguarding homes that are. Hello there and low and modest income households that are susceptible to displacement. If. That ' s our primary issue below.
That ' s just Simply an idea and perhaps something that is consistent with. Just how we specify the displacement problem so Okay, it it seems like on that particular certain concern, the belief is not being extremely prescriptive. Perhaps using existing definitions. Mr. Morrow has type of claimed, at'the very least what I listened to Rich saying is that that they ' ve kind of got that. Are we comfy just agreement having rich? Add something because take care of that yet in language that ' s that ' s practical for them as they in fact are at the Capitol actually dealing with this because issue.Is that? Anybody object to that? I don ' t see any kind of hands objecting at this. My supervisor Spear. Yes,'I had one various other point and I excuse not sending this in a development.
I'' ll start and go that currently and you ' ll obtain the singing QP. I'' d be happy to if you ' ll provide me simply one minute to pull that up. We ' re gon na have our specialists are gon na be present and they ' re gon na share some of their preliminary findings of the assessment.I had an opportunity to listen in to the presentation that they gave to the assessment advising board and it was truly information abundant and I assume we ' re gon na have an excellent conversation with them on January third. Numerous of you understand that,'he ' s the brand-new mayor of Edgewater and I ' ve been, I ' ve been doing this work for 30 plus years and I ' ve always valued the chance to be able to be there for swearing in. Otherwise, If there ' s any type of various other comments concerning anything that you didn ' t bring up before, we can take into consideration those 2 or else be delighted to amuse a motion and I see Mr.Chair, I see, Director Sandra ' s hand up.It'' s on that particular exact same. Web page with that we ' re seeing today where it states actions to give even more obtainable and accessible housing alternatives for senior citizens. Sure. Okay. I'' m questioning if we can just add and people with handicaps. This was something that showed up in the study session when we were hearing from the guv'' s office and it ' s constant with the language in other components of the file pertaining to transportation.Any objections
to that? Given that. Yeah. Okay, I see a little heart drifting up there. So, director Motion picture, I see your hands. I obtained ta put down, sorry about that. And alright. Okay. Richard, you getting what you need from this? I wish to make sure that, that we'' re not Perplexing the concern with you. No, I assume I'' m excellent. Yeah, I assume I obtained it. Okay, wonderful. I ' ve got an inquiry. Do we in right here have sufficient insurance coverage for that one of our worths is neighborhood decision-making. You have offered where the state'' s gotten on some things, it simply feels like possibly us sharing that, that we value regionalism, but we likewise value the capability of a local community to for that municipality.Is that? Covered is that something that would certainly make good sense in below? If I missed it, I say sorry. Rich to you recognize. Okay. What'' s it? Yeah, I ' d need to go back and look via it, I think, to see. I believe, you know, usually. We ' ve had language that ' s kind of type of. Equilibriums the local decision making and the neighborhood. Certain. Decision and appreciating both of those. Which is excellent. Yeah. I director Shah. Yeah. Thanks. Yeah, I would certainly sustain that type of wording that, we favor local choice making and and local collaboration if there'' s some kind of, phraseology that can be used like that. If we do not already have it. I wondered if possibly that neighborhood decision making comment can have gone where Director Spears section. Hmm. Hmm.Appeared.
Once more, not wanting to get also prescriptive in this paper concerning what they could come close to. I love the very first sentence. Bye, I virtually think the 2nd sense can be changed by something that states, local choice making. Must drizzle supreme. Well, or perhaps, I'' m sorry, simply thinking off top my head here. Something like where it starts, Dr. Cox'' s supports. Remain plan. That values neighborhood decision making authority and incentivizes city governments. Yes, I such as that. And after that I'' m fine with the other. I just don'' t intend to restrict ourselves to. State policies related to detailed plans or zoning codes and afterwards they think of another thing like you understand. It and then by being too authoritative, we restrict ourselves. I wear'' t wan na do that. I truly would love to wide brush. Trek to Levy and afterwards Director Spear. Yeah, thank you. I stress over consisting of that language on local control. Simply believing back, you understand, to the costs that shall not be mentioned. There were some stipulations because bill that, that I believed made sense.And and things.
Locations in which I really intend to see the legislature go further. And this was about, well, the components that made good sense had to do with calculated concern, state critical growth concerns. And. And tying funding to. Regional choices that that advanced the calculated development priorities of the state and they were around things like taking full advantage of. Trans transit alternatives decreasing congestion and automobile miles traveled, etc, and after that stipulations around.Prioritizing infill development rather than eco-friendly areas And I put on ' t understand whether. You understand those kinds of points that say you recognize we the legislature believes this is a great way to expand and this is not an excellent way to grow would be analyzed. As impinging on local control. This this is what is coming to mind for me. I assume that there are some locations in which. It ' s proper for the state legislature to offer assistance And that, some'may seem, may view as going against that sort of principle on local control. I think we ' ve got a whole lot in below that truly does highlight motivations. And, and I do just stress over, a covering statement on neighborhood control like that. Thank you. Supervisor Speer. Okay. I was actually mosting likely to, make, a plug for having a different statement around choice for, regional control, but Claire, I, you simply talked me out of it.So I ' m gon na take that back. And simply claim, you know, I, I do, you know, I'concur even in this section right here, you know, I, I do, you understand, I agree even in this area right below, you know, I see regional turn up a few times and so it does seem to be making that point about, you know, I see regional pop up a couple of times. Therefore it does appear to be making that factor about, collaboration.I And it ' s definitely appears like mandates are still a component of what we will be seeing this session,
so it'' ll be fascinating. You know, where that goes. Once more, I recommend local decision-making as opposed to local control when we speak about this, that it ' s not a matter of us attempting to regulate, however it ' s us making those decisions locally. Dr. Levy, I entirely concur in regards to of the important things that are wide vision, non prescriptive advice. Where the obstacle reaches be is when they are things that are directly influencing municipalities. And I assume one of the obstacles is despite having the incentives, in some cases that incentive is you either do it or we ' re mosting likely to push you off the cliff. I wear ' t necessarily take into consideration that instead, however we'' ll talk concerning that more as we go. I ' m comfy with. That not being there, based'on the conversation we simply had,'any type of other comments prior to we move on. Okay, Richard, you obtained what you need? I believe so, yes. Well. If we could obtain a motion supporting. Moving this onward with abundant wrapping up a few of those those areas which we are encouraging abundant and staff to to to line up that with with what our discussion this was.Director Shaw. Dr. So relocated, you said it well. Just second. Okay, any type of further discussion? And. Hi. Bye. One morning. Hi.
All in favor represented by claiming I. Any opposed nay? Okay. Why? And afterwards what ' s that? Hey. Nay. There is an A, all right. And, and he says, anybody maintaining. Upstream. Okay. Belinda, do we require to do a roll telephone call in any way with with the NAY or are we are you comfortable with for the record with what we ' ve got? Amazing. Thanks quite. I had the ability to capture it, so, we ' re okay. Thanks. Thanks, Rich. We will relocate in advance to item number 10, discussion of the transportation improvement program. Biscuit your 2,023 project delays and we have a discussion from Brad Williams organizer in the transportation preparation and operations area.Brad? Thank you. Thank you, Mister Chair. I might share if you people would such as. Yeah, there we go. Can everybody see that? Yes. Alright. Great night, every person. I ' m Brad Williams, planar with
Dr. Kog and we ' ll be looking at fiscal year 23 very first year tip task delays. The current tip plan outlines the assumptions for the initiation of project stages, consisting of just how to deal with hold-ups if they happen. These hold-ups, no matter the reasons, lock up the minimal financing of offered for Dr.Kog to allocate. After completion of government 23 in very early October, Dr. Gear asked for c. Dot and RTD. Evaluation the conditions that we ' ve gathered from enrollers over this year for jobs with FY. 23 funding. After verifying these task standings, Dr.
Cog team contacted the sponsors with task phases that were not started and consequently delayed to discover the factor for their phase not being initiated. To discover the existing status of the task and to aid them in establishing a strategy to launch the postponed job stage. To avoid a 2nd year hold-up, all tasks identified in this record should start their delayed stage by July. First, 2,024. The the connected record sums up the task phases that were delayed as of October initially. 2023. This report mentions that 35 jobs are very first year delayed, of which 3 have actually already been launched and are no much longer delayed.Some observations about these delays are that there are approximately double the quantity of delayed projects contrasted to a normal year largely because of a busier than typical telephone call for cycle. Which caused IG the IGA procedure to be decreased by the increased variety of tasks calling for clearances, IGA execution and amendments over the exact same short time period. The other information why the tasks are postponed. Includes, largely IGA slowdowns, which are the factor for the hold-up in about half of these projects, while several others dealt with the plunging effects triggered by the IGA slow down. That cause slow downs in the clearances and energy coordination processes. A movement to accept the SASs. Suggestion would enable these jobs to continue. I would certainly additionally such as to give thanks to everyone for aiding us apply our brand-new job monitoring. Which helped us be significantly more ready heading into the delayed hold-up process.But by touching with sponsors on a monthly basis and having them provide us with monthly updates as well as the aid we generally receive from CDI and RTD. And keeping that, I can take any type of concerns on these. Thanks significantly for their concerns for Brad. You know inquiries do we have a movement? Oh. Yeah, Dr. Starker, please. I will certainly relocate to authorize the.
Delay. Program. Great, thanks and Director Harrison. Second. Fantastic, thank you. Any type of further discussion? Done in favor I? Hi. Hi. Okay. Okay. Bye. Any kind of opposed nay? And any abstentions. Okay, thanks extremely much. Right, I excuse the computer system buzz if you ' re hearing that. Next product number 11, discussion of transport demand monitoring calculated plan at our speaker is Kaylee Fallon, organizer in Transportation Planning and Operations. Excellent night, thanks for being right here. Thanks, Chair and great night every person. If I can do so.Great, I will certainly go in advance and share my display. Good evening, everybody.

So just a summary of the TDM strategic strategy, why we are doing it currently. And the overall function of the plan. Essentially this TDM strategic plan is an overhaul to
Dr. Cogg ' s short-range TDM plan, which was embraced in 2,012. Over a decade back and as we understand in that years there has actually been immense adjustments in traveling habits in our area especially due to the kovan 19 pandemic as well as adjustments in demographics and populace growth and changes.In emerging modern technology. And so Taking into consideration all of these factors and and taking into consideration Dr. Coggs internal programs and tasks throughout the area. We have made a decision to develop a new, TDM calculated strategy. The goal statement of the local TDM calculated strategy is to supply transport companions in the Denver region with a framework to enhance effectiveness, wheelchair, safety, and safety and security for vacationers of all ages, incomes and capacities by determining activities that broaden multimodal traveling choices, lower web traffic blockage, and boost air quality.So actually desire to highlight 2 points here. I actually wish to highlight the equity part of this strategy. We worked really extensively with our stakeholders and equity groups to make certain that we were establishing this plan in an equitable lens. I also intend to highlight that this plan does not run in a vacuum. This plan actually supports the various other, Dr. Blockage preparing preparation items, specifically metro vision, local transportation plan. The energetic transport strategy, our recent greenhouse gas mitigation action plan.
So this TDM strategy really works in conjunction with the total Dr. Gear preparing ecosystem and truly sustains the the motifs laid out in metro vision. This strategic plan is a mix of a total amount of 18 months of planning work and it was developed with numerous various avenues.So the initial avenue was a stakeholder steering board was created and that stakeholder guiding committee was made up of folks that work in transport demand monitoring day in and day out. Organizations on that committee consisted of RTD, C dot, our TMA companions, the Regional Air Quality Council, some Dr. Cog member federal governments, and as well as advocacy organizations such as Bicycle, Colorado. So those were the folks that we met one of the most with and the folks that actually supplied in-depth comments within throughout this planning process. We likewise had a larger group called the TDM Consortium and those
individuals were the individuals that their job is possibly not directly associated with TDM and transportation planning, yet definitely is tangential to that. So those were the folks consisting of college partners, economic companions such as service renovation districts, some smaller sized and a lot more rural Dr. Gear participant governments, along with some additional campaigning for and equity groups. To make sure that consortium we consulted with along with the stakeholders seering committee. And afterwards in enhancement to those groups, we also held some focus group comments sessions.So these sessions were little teams. Comprised of about 4 to 5 individuals and those were damaged up right into a number of various categories. We had a focus group with huge companies in the region. We had an emphasis team, with equity advocates in the area. Once again, with proposals and economic companions, with flexibility drivers, with TMAs and with CNOT. So we really intended to obtain more, specific concerns and feedback with those focus teams. And once more, those were, truly targeted with those smaller sized groups. In enhancement to that, stakeholder engagement and outreach, we also had a Dr. Cog interior team workshop in order to kind of go with some prospective suggestions and to flush
out the strategy. And then we additionally collaborated with a specialist therefore our professional led research and analytics. They, produced in existing conditions analysis around existing problems and transportation need administration services and programs that presently exist in the Dr. Gear area as well as some case research studies and after that they likewise created a toughness weaknesses possibilities and risks evaluation a return on financial investment analysis looking at the doctor existing Dr.Cog, TDM programs and services and after that an equity analysis. Once again, these are the procedures. The stakeholder outreach and engagement and the research study that led to the growth of this. So these are some regional trends that are specialist in addition to Dr. Cogg ' s team determined that transport demand management can actually play a crucial function in resolving throughout our area. Therefore these aspects or these obstacles consist of populace development. Web traffic security, blockage and vision 0. Transit gain access to, continuous effects of the COVID. 19 pandemic. And certainly development and transport technology. So this kind of relates back to what I stated previously as to why we were doing this plan and why now. And so these were the regional obstacles that we determined that, our company believe that transportation demand monitoring can actually play a vital duty in resolving. So there are a total of 10 strategic referrals in the strategy and they are planned for Dr.Cog as an organization to lead and execute. It ' s actually looking at As a company, what can Dr. Gear do to expand and advance our TDM work? So we took a look at Dr. Coggs. Preparation job, Dr. Cox ' s plans, Dr. Coggs TDM solutions, and actually intended to see exactly how we might move the needle as a company. Of training course these tactical suggestions will certainly need to be applied. Together with our regional partners, but they ' re actually for Dr.Cog as a company to take the lead on. Therefore these suggestions come under 3 classifications. Once more, those are the planning policy and solutions categories that I mentioned. Below are the first 5 suggestions. For time, I won ' t gone through every one of them, yet I do just wish to clarify a couple of points here. The very first point I
would such as to make clear is that a lot of these'referrals are actually for additional research study right into what that recommendation is referencing. For example, Number 4 right here, think about integrating transport need management as a demand to particular projects during the following update to the. Suggestion policy paper. That is not claiming that right off the bat we are going to Call for a TDM components and pointer. And pointer projects that'is actually simply allow
' s take into consideration incorporating it. Allow ' s do the research study. What might that look like? Is that even viable? So actually intend to highlight that a great deal of these recommendations suggestions are to take the next step which typically includes research.Planning and prep work'and it ' s not that we ' re going to be doing these things instantly. So simply desired to highlight that. These are, so that is the, one point that I desired to clear up here and after that, truly additionally just wanted to highlight that these suggestions were really taken into consideration throughout the stakeholder, guiding committee and, focus group comments. So I want to highlight the first suggestion right here, prepare a white paper that discovers ways to fund transport, need administration motivation programs. We heard a lot from our'stakeholders and particularly our TMA companions that incentive programs are exceptionally difficult to fund, yet they discover that when they have the ability to launch those motivation campaigns that they are incredibly effective.So just intend to highlight that we did truly consider that stakeholder outreach and interaction that responses and ensure that we included it right into these recommendations. Right here are suggestions 6 via 10. I would certainly much like to call out to recommendation number 9 below, increase the focus of method to head to consist of all journeys. We have actually certainly listened to and as we all understand, after the pandemic, tribal adjustment and travel behavior has actually really altered specifically with the instance of remote work. So this recommendation actually came via, with, again, that stakeholder responses and that study acknowledging that a whole lot of the journeys in our area are no much longer those peak commute journeys. Therefore we truly intended to discover a way to resolve that. And starting with broadening the focus of means to head to consist of all of those journeys, not just those 9 to 5 commuters was among the tactical suggestions that came out of that planning work. I do desire to clear up that that also still includes commute journeys. Due to the fact that we do recognize that there are individuals that still go into the workplace physically, I ' m just from an equity lens. There are still people that drive right into work and there are still folks that take transportation into work so it is still consisting of traveler trips but it ' s likewise including all different sorts of trips.I do see that there is a hand up. I ' m delighted to take inquiries currently or, wait till completion. I ' m delighted to do it either. I can wait till the end. Perfect. Thank you. Great, so I simply intend to restate that the calculated strategy has 10 recommendations and those referrals are truly intended for Dr. Cog as an organization to execute and they were established through a combination of our stakeholder engagement process. Dr.Kogg, staff inner workshops and job done by our professional. That is the plan in a nutshell. And afterwards different from the strategy is our TDM toolkit. This is a different paper. It is meant to be a living resource for participant federal governments and other TDM stakeholders throughout the area. And, it ' s truly planned to be a public encountering record and when we claim living document, we likewise imply it ' s planned to be able to be upgraded as brand-new sources in case research studies are readily available, as we involve in that dialogue with our participant federal governments. That is the fantastic thing concerning this
TDM toolkit is it will certainly be a continuous process, a continuous conversation with our stakeholders and will ideally be a truly great source when it comes to executing TDM methods. Therefore you ' ll see right here on the left hand side of the display, these are the groups, that are consisted of in the TDM toolkit, so actually identifying that TDM includes a collection of various techniques. Most of us know that Dr. Kogg has actually done some terrific work on the education
outreach and marketing.Of TDM, but truly recognizing that TDM is a whole lot greater than simply education because region likewise includes wheelchair solutions, movement modern technology, framework, car parking monitoring, street. Management, public laws. That is a high level introduction of the toolkit. And after that with in the toolkit, each strategy, gets on one web page which includes a complete summary of what that technique is. It also includes context. So it consists of land usage context for metropolitan communities, country neighborhoods and country neighborhoods. It also consists of context for transit access. For communities that have no really low to modest transit access and for those neighborhoods who have moderate to high transportation accessibility. It also includes several different audiences.So we really intended to include that all trips. Way of thinking and so the toolkit has Reduced to high applicability for audiences such as citizens, pupils, employees and site visitors. Really type of wished to hit on the fact or the point that, as we all know Denver, really does draw in a lot of leisure and a great deal of site visitors. We did consist of visitors. Because toolkit.
And obviously we included facilities too. So identifying that all the Dr. Cod communities are various in regards to land use, transit gain access to and infrastructure, some TDM techniques may be a lot more suitable in some in some others versus jurisdictions. So we ' ve wished to see to it that the toolkit was broad enough to be helpful for all of our member federal governments, but not very broad that it wasn ' t helpful. Trying to, trying to discover that line there and I believe we did a wonderful work with that.And after that lastly, just highlighting the equity part of this toolkit we did use FHW an actions technique for each of the methods so you will certainly see in the toolkit each of the methods has several different equity factors to consider for the carrying out firms to think about. For the benefit of time, will not go
through all the methods but you ' ll see below on the screen here all the TDM approaches that are presently consisted of in the toolkit and as I discussed prior to that this toolkit is a living resource it ' s intended to progress so these this list might expand as we look into the future. So we did have a month long public remark period. The general public was able to download the draft strategy, the draft toolkit and executive recap and an executive summary in Spanish on our social identify site.The public remark duration was promoted with social networks and email. And so We did get a number of comments from participant governments from the general public at large. And we'did right here.
We ' ve had language that ' s sort of kind of. Once more, I suggest local decision-making as opposed to neighborhood control when we talk concerning this, that it ' s not an issue of us attempting to control, however it ' s us making those choices in your area. Truly want to highlight that a lot of these recommendations recommendations are to take the following action and that usually involves research.Planning and preparation'and it ' s not that we ' re going to be doing these things right off the bat. And, it ' s truly planned to be a public facing file and when we state living file, we also indicate it ' s meant to be able to be upgraded as brand-new resources in situation research studies are offered, as we engage in that dialogue with our participant governments. We ' ve desired to make sure that the toolkit was broad sufficient to be useful for all of our participant governments, but not super broad that it wasn ' t helpful.Said yeah, but what you ' ve seen the race is it ' s it ' s safety and safety right of various systems in the like and I believe that ' s a legitimate factor we will certainly be chatting a little later in this meeting concerning our local vision 0, program is some of the updates what we ' re preparation on doing linked with that.But safety is out first and foremost on our minds and it always has actually been, you recognize, this board has actually been quite clear about the value of our system being as risk-free as possible. And then lastly, something that simply was valuable for myself and I believe as well for our partners is to make certain that I ' m there ' s great quality and openness from Dr. Gear on what is the condition of the different actions and things that we ' re doing.Over the years so that when we ' re able to ask individuals to essentially Tell us what is a recurring action that they ' re able to show what they feel is the truth and we feel as though they ' re right with that. And so we comprehend that when you ' re assessing the collisions in some method that ' s more city, the kinds of accidents that are occurring, the users that are included are going to be various when you ' re looking at various other a lot more perhaps rural area kinds in the region.
You'' re you'' ve been you ' ve been fantastic via the years and we appreciate your message. Said yeah, but what you ' ve seen the race is it ' s it ' s safety and security right of various systems in the like and I think that ' s a legit factor we will be talking a little later in this meeting about our local vision 0, program is some of the updates what we ' re preparation on doing connected with that.But safety and security is out initially and foremost on our minds and it always has actually been, you understand, this board has actually been fairly clear concerning the value of our system being as risk-free as feasible. As much as when we should be, addressing them because you know we only have so much capability and so much funding at some you recognize right now so And then last but not least, after that, workshop, we took that responses and have been changing the paper and we are it ' s currently in the hands of our interaction and advertising group right now to do those modifications and we expect to have public comment duration starting in very early January that will certainly go out for 30 days.It ' ll be really similar to the one that Kaylee placed out for her TDM strategy in the feeling that, you know, we ' ll be doing social media and emails to obtain the word out and also utilizing a social pinpoint site for individuals to give feedback. And after that finally, something that just was handy for myself and I believe as well for our companions is to make sure that I ' m there ' s good quality and transparency from Dr. Gear on what is the standing of the different actions and things that we ' re doing.Over the years so that when we ' re able to ask people to generally Tell us what is a recurring activity that they ' re able to mirror what they feel is the reality and we really feel as though they ' re appropriate with that. And so we comprehend that when you ' re assessing the collisions in some means that ' s a lot more urban, the kinds of accidents that are happening, the customers that are included are going to be different when you ' re looking at other a lot more possibly rural area kinds in the area.Putting out to the public and we also are excited to have it be type of a living resource that as more information or sorry as data appears or much more frequently and extra a lot more constantly, then we'' ll be able to update this with trends that are, more approximately date.Another success that we desired to highlight was in line with our objective 6, which is raising support for regulations policies and techniques that concentrate on safety and security in any way levels. This is in relationship to Us senate Costs 23200 that enables for local agencies the ability to make use of. Security cams as an enforcement technique consisting of. For red light running and speeding up. And so we are actually. Yes, sorry. Therefore we ' re actually, delighted to see the passing of that Us senate costs and to'aid our local member governments. Try and deploy the use of that in a in a fashion that make certain that it ' s not impactful in a in a hazardous means to any type of type'of populations by any ways. Next I desired to cover some of the activities that we had from the previous vision 0 action strategy that are gon na be carrying or adhering to over right into the next strategy that we feel as though we have actually been functioning on this currently.And we are going to continue functioning on these actions. Therefore the initial that I wanted to highlight, the briefly is just the monthly regional vision 0 functioning team. We are looking at possibly making it bi-monthly rather than month-to-month simply since We understand that people have a great deal on their plate. When they come to those conferences, and we desire to make sure that individuals are getting the best use of their time. And we ' re likewise checking out methods for that team to in fact be a component of the ones that assist implement this plan.That ' s really just how we see that vision 0 work group. Extra thing into in the future. And other activity we will certainly continue to service is our participation in the statewide, web traffic records advising committee for Colorado or Strac. That ' s actually crucial to the information work that we have and I recognize that myself or other folks that are involved in the data work will certainly remain to be involved in that. And in that exact same kind of node, we will certainly proceed our job, checking out the creation of a local local crash information consortium and checking out stock the requirements of the region as well as attempting to determine remedies. Another thing that we will continue doing is sharing details on financing chances via every one of our different, ways that we can get in touch with you all.And then finally, we will remain to reevaluate our legal top priorities. As new safety and security research emerges. So next I intended to discuss possibly several of these are brand-new. Some of these might not be brand-new. They may be rollovering from the previous
strategy. However I wished to just highlight for each of the purposes I was going to go through one prompt action that we ' ve recognized that we in 2,024 are mosting likely to. You understand, strike the ground running to identify methods to. Obtain this executed in the following 0 to 2 years. That ' s the duration that we ' ve provided ourselves for these prompt activities. Therefore'the first activity is for our objective top, which is to boost collaboration between allied firms. And so we this is really listening to you all and recognizing that. There ' s a great deal of safety and security concerns that are going on in the area, however dangerous actions lags the wheel, are one that we really want to dig a little much deeper on and bring folks together.And so we ' re checking out the assembling of normal safety conferences of people in this transportation safety and security space and individuals who are maybe not typically in the transport safety room but do some in some means connect with people who may be sufferers of a traffic collision. Maybe it ' s health and wellness professionals or. Or other advocacy or area companies, bringing them all to the table to try and comprehend. A little much deeper and, and maybe share finest methods or solutions that we discovered in our communities.So successive is considering unbiased 2 to increase. Understanding and fostering of vision 0. This set. I simply in fact prior to I carry on to this set I wan na note that you ' ll you ' ll see that some of these have. Of far more problem to apply than others. And so we have identified that much more in the plan when you really see it all on one in one record.
However right now right here I simply intended to call out for you some Quick little highlights. One more one, this one is a much less complicated job for us to complete, but updating our Vision 0 web page to consist of sources and information. On the secure systems approach as well as on our development towards vision 0 in the area. For objective 3 to design and retrofit streets to focus on security. We are discovering the growth of a fast construct toolkit. For participant governments to help offer guidance on the style and implementation of these quick to supply and adjustable traffic measures that boost security, particularly concentrating on the regional high and desire network. You recognize, we hear that there ' s, a need for things on the ground now, however not always.Resources on just how to do that the ideal way and exactly how to interact that with our, with, just the general public. On what we ' re doing when a fast construct task comes in the ground therefore I think that this is something we heard from people that would be of excellent usage. And after that for enhancing information collection and reporting objective 4. We will, this is something that ' s really an ongoing activity, but it ' s something that we will continue to do every. 3 to 5 years, however we will launch in the next year to 2 years.Which is. Essentially, the local visions, your tale map that you saw. We will certainly remodel that analysis job so that we'can get a more as much as date, understanding of those high threat activities and collision accounts for the region. For unbiased 5 to boost funding and sources, We are checking out modifying the transportation renovation program or pointer, requirements to prioritize safety and security projects on the regional high injury'network. This is quite obvious, but it ' s simply the exploration of us highlighting.
Other standards to ensure that we can see to it that projects are always emphasizing security. And are on the Hyundry network. And afterwards last but not least, for unbiased 6. We are in for boosting support for regulations policies and practices that concentrate on safety at all degrees. There was an actually, actually high interest in looking at the support of regulation to enhance financing and review actual appropriation of existing funding to security tasks so that we have a dependable specialized stream of financing. I assume that goes without saying. It ' s recognized that we need even more cash. There ' s never ever adequate cash for this job and.Folks really would such as to as opposed to just grabbing it every little bit that we can discover. We ' d like to go and attempt to the source and and see if there ' s a means to support and. Make legislation so that there is a real sustainable swimming pool of funding for security. Just a pointer then we will certainly be going to I this is a little bit out of day I place this with each other concerning a week ago and unfortunately things obtained a little bit behind track however our thirty-day public testimonial period will be starting in January looking to start that January tenth hopefully so that ' s second week once everybody is kind of Drinking off all the holiday.
You know, laziness or whatnot and we ' re gon na with any luck people will be able to. In fact give some responses to that. And afterwards last but not least, we will certainly be concerning TAC in RTC in'February after that March and after that I intend to see you all once again in March for the final approval of this. Update work.And I assume that is it that I have for you tonight. And I ' m here for any kind of questions. Thanks quite. Do we have any kind of questions or comments from the? Board. Treasure Levy. Hey, Eric. There we go. Yeah, no, thanks. Just a pair. You recognize, on the legal. Support that we may support and this didn ' t turned up in the legal concerns document I don ' t think but I assume there may be some regulation. To, need, that, courses, for, youth, getting the very first time certificate, I believe that I ' ve heard that that could be coming forward and that it would be. Consisting of bicycle security bicycle understanding or parts and Yeah. Correct. Correct. Yeah, supervisor, you ' re freezing up. Okay. Okay, great. I thought that was just my computer system. Okay. Oh, fine. There we go, allow me transform my camera off. If that aids, and see. That need to aid, yup.Yeah, on the Yeah, excellent. No, I asked yourself and I, I think this was brought up at a previous conference. I could have been director Speer that brought it up about having actually a suggestions reserved for vision 0 execution. And whether, you know, whether that might be a much more straight method to access the. The funding for vision 0 execution jobs. Yeah, thank you so much', Dr. Levy. That actually is another among the activities that we have determined. In this plan. Is the expedition of a, of a local vision 0 suggestion set aside.So I recognize that that ' s Leading of mind for individuals is how can we create a sustainable swimming pool of funding that ' s large sufficient to to really you understand fund the tasks that we want to fund too. Ron, I see your hand. I ' m sorry.
That ' s Supervisor Conklin. No, Ron Papstore, please. Great to see you. Ideally you ' re sensation well. Hi, I am really feeling far better today. Thank you. Thanks, Chair Conklin. Director Levy, I did just wanted to mention considering that you, asked the concern concerning the state legislative plan, the board simply approved earlier this evening.On web page 7 of the paper that remained in your packet, there actually is a statement regarding increasing financing for a number of transportation concerns consisting of enhancing safety. Absolutely I assume the board in the past and
in this legislative celebration paper has actually recognized that. Clearly, we sanctuary ' t advanced for fostering the update to the vision 0, strategy, yet I think that does place a little bit much more flavor on the general statement that ' s in the legal policy record and as Emily correctly pointed out', we do prepare for with your authorization at least discovering as we establish with your approval, a minimum of checking out as we establish the next translation enhancement program, at the very least checking out as we establish the following translation renovation program policy paper for the next 4 year suggestion
procedure. Which, think it or otherwise, will certainly start in simply a short number of years. We do want to check out with companions and with every one of you possibilities to type of perhaps concentrate several of those resources on particular a lot more especially toward safety.It ' s constantly been a concern element in our idea procedure, yet see if'there are methods to put also more focus on that. Great, thanks, Supervisor Harrison. Thank you and extremely excellent task putting all this with each other. I understand it ' s a great deal work. Is and has there been any type of kind of research study or correlation in between increase insurance coverage prices for drivers, in Colorado. Versus safety issues and accidents etc decreasing rising The method I, and why I ask, and I ' m there, I ' m certain there most likely is, yet why I asked is kind for the residents to comprehend by making these financial investments where over below this is gon na have a straight relationship at the very least from a monetary viewpoint undoubtedly safety is primary yet from a financial perspective as everyone gets encouraged by that of their insurance prices. Boiling down. Have we done studies on that in the last state 5'years or prior to? That ' s a great question.And I can inform you that we have not done anything at the very least because I ' ve gotten on board in the last 2 years. However I understand that Skylar McKinney over at for would most likely be a great contact'to get to out to and have some excellent within on all that. And he and I might team up to. To look more right into that, absolutely. Yeah, I assume that could be something to take an appearance at and the other point I at the very least for Individuals old sufficient like myself, we had'drivers that funded. At the college area degree and I understand that ' s most likely changed a great deal dramatically. Is there, are we familiar with any type of programs like that that ' s still at the college district degree or is they all personal? And the, you understand, the.The the kid and the moms and dads depend on going, you understand, their obligation to go reach out to a personal. College to do all their job. Excellent the certificate? Is that how it functions now? You'know, I ' m not acquainted
a hundred percent with the procedure. A minimum of in Colorado. I do recognize that C. Dot has as a component of their advancing transportation safety and security. Program that they ' re dealing with now. They are definitely considering More education and learning around. Or yes, just drivers that in basic. I understand that they ' re has been conversations around it. I ' m not completely aware of it. We do have at the very least 2 activities kept in mind around kind of school and risk-free routes to colleges, education and advocacy work with. There ' s With pupils and I assume that, there ' s, chance for that to be suited there. Great. And'after that, yeah, at the various other level, just decreasing the actions.
Obviously, all of us experience. Crazy drivers available that cut individuals that cut us off or this or that. And certainly we ' ve seen that boost substantially. . You try to take care of the younger populace, however likewise the population that ' s in the 20, s 40, 30, s and 40 years of age that for whatever reason.Are not worried about other individuals ' s security. Exists any researches or any type of information that you ' ve heard or seen in relation to how or why that goes to a high level why that ' s taking place perhaps much more so or much less. You know, I wear ' t have any high degree'kind of details. When kinda coming back to your insurance coverage, I can tell you. Idea is that you recognize young males do often tend to have the highest rates of insurance.And to ensure that ' s that correlation. I don ' t really recognize what else that claims. That obtains a bit more into the psychology of trans transport preparation than I ' m, really an expert at, but I have actually been. Attempting to understand a little much more concerning why It seems as though we'are. Shifting in an instructions that is very individualistic in the mindset and it ' s not a healthy and balanced method certainly and so there ' s been a great deal of A great deal of research that I '
m trying to look into about traffic safety society and just how can we try and change that and'and shift the way individuals are assuming. Hmm. And I believe that, the something that'I, the greatest takeaway for me is that you recognize, it ' s our social impacts are multi layered and so it ' s understanding just how we can remain to provide these messages around safety at various layers in which individuals communicate with people.So it might not simply be a promotion or an advertisement project, but it ' s also going'into the schools or it ' s likewise going right into the work environment. And it ' s likewise talking with your instructor, you understand, your your friends and your household participants and it ' s all those various layers in which. We kind of have those different means that we can affect safety and security. That I ' m discovering a lot more around, but it ' s yeah, it ' s an extremely emotional point that ' s Not well recognized right now. And that ' s where the financing absolutely assist in that area to do that.So I value whatever. Thank you for addressing my concerns. Absolutely. I will make my editorial comment that I make frequently Emily ' s heard me state this before that I assume the the change in vehicle driver ' s finish not being something that lots of people were having removed that shared experience that shared knowledge base of everyone type of understanding what was going on a minimum of of a generation. And the other thing is we ' ve
taken away predictability. A lot of the old customary practices and understanding what the light cycles would certainly be and knowing, you know, simply how things operate. I believe'as we ' re doing points currently to with any luck long-lasting make points safer, I believe we ' re most likely mosting likely to have an actually fascinating duration that that absence of predictability might create some problems. And a means my content remark, Emily, thanks quite. We truly appreciate the discussion. Yes, thank you extremely much. Absolute wonderful info or briefing. Thank you for your time tonight.
Go on. Move on to our next educational instruction, which makes certain to be interesting.The testimonial of the unique session and a preview of the 2024 legislative session, Rich Morrow, you ' re back. And Ed, which is here and Jen Castle. So thanks all for being right here. You Yes, Yes, thanks, Mr. Chair, and I think I will just. Introduce our agreement powerbrokers at Badich and Jennifer Castle. If Doug has any comments, and turn it over to them and and maybe see first. . Mr. Chairman, and thank you, Rich. I in fact wear ' t, however we assumed it ' d be a great concept, just to give.Give you all kind of a debrief on the unique session since I ' m not fairly sure I completely understand precisely what took place in the session, however additionally offer you sort of a preview of entering into this, what we. All recognize is gon na be a very hectic timetable as session once more, most notably around, real estate land usage transport that Nexus. Please Ed Jen, take it away. Alright, thank you everybody. Excellent night. Delighted vacations. Leaping right in here.So Jennifer and I will certainly give you a brief summary of what happened a month ago throughout the special session. And afterwards speak a bit
about what ' s likely ahead up in 2024 at this point. We understand some things that will certainly be coming down the pike in 2024, however it ' s much more principles. Specifics for 2024. However just to assess what occurred last month, the legislature was in session for 4 days the guv is the one who can call the unique session and determine the agenda. The governor called everyone right into special session they ended up passing 3 expenses of note. Summarize here.'First one is the real estate tax alleviation. After the failing of prop HH, the guv wished to do something. To attempt and resolve the increasing home worths and'trying, alleviate the resulting real estate tax raises that individuals will certainly be paying in 2024. The legislature passed. A bill that will, somewhat minimize the property evaluation rate. And bear in mind the residential assessment rate is generally that share of your residence or your accommodations building where you live.That share of your home that ' s based on taxes. So really, you were just mosting likely to pay 6.7 6 5%of your house for based on tax obligation. Currently it ' s down to 6.7%. . There is a flat value exception at$55,000 for every home. . If you live in an extremely a lot lower income area, that clearly is a much larger impact. There are some neighborhoods. Escape in eastern Colorado where the houses aren ' t all that expensive and you take $55,000 out of the worth. And make it not subject to tax, that ' s a huge deal. It ' s an assist right here around where homes are much a lot bigger. The much more valuable. The deadlines for the city governments compute their mill levies have been moved back and all of these points only use to the 2,023 tax obligation year when your taxes are paid in 2024 so it ' s just a one year change and then the legislature is routed ahead up with the next plan.

They can come back and claim we advise I ' m just gon na make this up customizing something from the special session lugging it onward another year and we advise the legislature think about placing a constitutional action on the tally. They are pretty open-ended in what they can suggest back to'the legislature. One other bill we simply wished to state, Tabor is constantly of rate of interest to everybody. A year ago, we all obtained checks sent to our homes.This year they ' re not going to send out checks out, however they did make the Tabor reimbursements flat.
