City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />January 18, 2022 <br />Page 5 of 8 <br />Organic Chemicals and bacteria to make sure the results warrant opening water lines. <br />Staff will be reaching out to individual home owners to coordinate testing. <br />We also have teams working on damage assessment of City property and some private <br />property such as retaining walls looking for structural damage. This will be ongoing for <br />several weeks. <br />City Manager Durbin stated in the last two weeks staff has been working diligently to help <br />the community recover. He reviewed some of the milestones that have already been met <br />including disaster declarations, commitments for cost sharing with FEMA and the State, <br />setting up the Disaster Assistance Center, setting up access control points, <br />communications efforts, setting up a call center, hosting neighborhood listening meetings, <br />GIS mapping process for data collection, and IGA with County for debris removal, and <br />hiring a recovery manager. <br />Councilmember Leh asked how long the water testing takes, is it not instantaneous. <br />Director Kowar stated the test that takes the longest is the Volatile Organic Compounds <br />(VOCs) which takes 24 to 48 hours. It is a slow methodical process and we want to get it <br />right so we don't contaminate the entire system and have to shut it down. Each home in <br />the burn area is being turned on individually as they are cleared. It does take time. <br />Deputy City Manager Davis stated the debris management process is being coordinated <br />with Boulder County and the Town of Superior across the entire burn area. Currently we <br />are in phase 2 which includes removal of items from the right-of-way and also includes <br />curbside pickup of impacted materials from non -fire damaged properties. <br />We are working on the application of hydro -mulch across the fire area to tamp down ash <br />and debris to protect stormwater and air quality. It cannot be applied over snow. <br />Phase 3 will be debris removal on private property. Boulder County is managing the <br />contract for this process but City staff is working with them to make sure everyone's <br />needs are addressed. Residents are being asked to complete a right -of -entry form to <br />either opt in or opt out of the debris removal process. The process will require <br />homeowners to sign over the amount of reimbursement in their insurance coverage for <br />debris removal. People can opt out of this process and complete the debris removal on <br />their own if they choose to but must meet all the removal requirements. <br />She stated staff is working to move this forward as fast as possible, but there are still <br />many issues to address. Boulder County is holding a meeting regarding debris removal <br />on Thursday. <br />Acting Planning Director Lisa Ritchie stated the department is working on ways to staff up <br />for the building permits that will be coming. They are also working on information on a <br />coordinated building process for neighborhoods. Staff and consultants are working on <br />information on the new IECC Building Code and how it will affect that process. <br />
