Motion to approve the July minutes with one typo:
Linda/Jeanette.  Approved unanimously.


We discussed the City's draft Blue Line amendment which says that in
addition to the grandfathered sites at Betasso and Lakewood Reservoir,
water may be supplied for firefighting purposes at up to three
locations on the Lakewood Pipeline.

Motion:
PLAN Boulder recommends the following changes to the draft amendment.
The additional water supply should be subject to these
restrictions.  No distribution or storage of water should be
permitted beyond 5000 gallons of storage at the location of
withdrawal.  Withdrawal at must be at the time of use (but putting in
a truck is use).  Withdrawal may only be made by fire fighting
districts or departments, city, sheriff, fire districts, and the US
Forest Service.

Motion passed 11-2, with Ricky and Jane in opposition.


Janet moved that it is the sense of the board that we are reserving
judgment on whether to support any resulting ballot issue until
we see the final text.
Sara seconded.   Approved 12-1 with Ricky opposed.


Motion on PBC' Position on CDOT draft 2020 transportation plan,
based on the email from Bruce and Sara.
Linda/Jeanette, unanimous approval, with the understanding that
they would add some language on the fiscal irresponsibility of the plan.


We discussed the revision of the general policy statements
and comments via email from Joni.
After some additional comments on the confusion of urban sprawl with growth,
Janet agreed the committee will make all changes except Joni's
additions to housing and send it out for the September meeting
when we would revisit housing composition, population and sprawl.


The board asked that Bruce represent us on the trails review group
of the City's Department of Open Space and Mountain Parks.


The board welcomed Kurt Gerstle's offer to be an observer at county
planning commission and county commission meetings.


We're looking for someone to follow the transportation issues at the
Foothills parkway and Arapahoe interchange.  It is a possible topic
for last Friday meeting in Oct.

The next board meeting will be Sept 11.
