Councilmember Leh agreed people are not happy with the lack of air quality information. BCPH needs to be more transparent on what is happening or just be clear they don't have the information yet if that is the case. People need to know something is moving forward. Councilmember Leh noted his dismay at the quality of the meetings Boulder County has hosted. Councilmember Brown stated renters have unique challenges and asked if the City could gather some information to help renters deal with landlords and know their rights. Councilmember Most agreed BCPH needs to get more information about what the outdoor air quality testing process is. Information on indoor air quality is also a concern. People need to know what the baseline should be so they can compare to what they have now and what to be looking for. Councilmember Most asked if staff has any idea of what the scale of the financial impact to the City will be. City Manager Durbin stated the Finance Committee will start that discussion at their meeting on Monday. Mayor Pro Tern Maloney stated cooperation with the County is important but their messaging from last night was not great and they didn't address the timeline well.
