Walk-In Wednesday public meeting rescheduled for April 25

The Walk-In Wednesday Power Hour public meeting originally scheduled for Wednesday, April 18 has been moved back one week to 3 to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, April 25, at the West Boulder Senior Center, 909 Arapahoe Ave.

The City of Boulder is hosting these free meetings so the public can meet with staff to discuss all questions related to the Energy and Climate Future project. People from the city involved with the project will be available to answer questions, listen to suggestions and collect feedback.

The city is committed to involving the community in the ongoing research and analysis associated with the potential creation of a city-owned electric utility, and Walk-In Wednesdays will be just one of several opportunities for the public to provide feedback on the project in 2012.

Information on all upcoming project related events and current news is available at www.BoulderEnergyFuture.com.

Environmental Advisory Board continues discussion about climate action in Boulder; public feedback opportunity

The city’s Environmental Advisory Board (EAB) has begun meeting twice a month (second and fourth Thursdays) starting this week in order to help provide direction on anticipated changes to the way the city approaches climate action. The work is expected to result in a new framework for goals, programs and funding in 2013 and beyond.

The next meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on Thursday, April 26, in the City Council Chambers, 1777 Broadway.

The EAB has been asked to take on an expanded role in order to help guide the discussion about what the future will look like for climate action as part of the larger Energy Future Project. The public is invited to provide feedback during this process.
