He thanked everyone for attending and for the support of various persons and organizations. He stated that this moment is the effort of those in the community who saw a need and worked together to make it happen. He thanked the City of Boulder for making it possible for non-voters to serve on boards and commissions, allowing him to volunteer his skills and effort. He looks forward to working with his fellow HRC commissioners, Community Relations and Office of Human Rights staff, community members, and others. He made a call to actions to underrepresented persons to seek leadership positions in city, county, and state, to be able to grow stronger together. He stated that the Human Relations Commission is here to address their concerns. III.

Community Participation Janet Heimer (Boulder Community United) spoke to congratulate Commissioner Beteta on his appointment to the HRC and spoke about the work that took place to pass Ballot Issue 2G regarding qualifications of those serving on boards and commissions.

C. 2013 Community Event Fund Reports 1. Bridge House – Homeless Memorial –Shane Wyenn (Community Affairs and Development Associate) reported on the Homeless Persons’ Memorial event which took place on December 21, 2013. The yearly event is held to honor all unhoused people who die in Boulder County each year. In 2013, 15 homeless community members passed away of various causes, including illness, accidents, exposure, and homicide. The event is organized by staff and open to all community members. The 2013 memorial was attended by 100 people who had personal connection or were allies. The memorial service is structured to allow active participation of attendees. The memorial was also commemorated through a declaration by City Council and signed by mayor in addition to a state proclamation signed by Governor Hickenlooper. E. Pollauf moved to accept the report. S. White seconded the motion. Motion carries 4-0. 2. The Americas for Conservation and the Arts – Americas Latino Festival - Irene Vilar (Executive Director) presented on the outcomes of the Americas Latino Festival, specifically the Family Day event. Vilar thanked the commission for the $8,000 in support which came at crucial time after funders redirected funds to support flood relief. The festival was on the cover of Boulder Weekly and its main success was that it proved the power of social capital. The over 100 events of the festival were held for a total of $100,000. Vilar stated that some talks weren’t well attended because of the amount of publicity and lack of a central hub for the festival. However, Vilar stated, the festival set a precedent and the 2014 Americas Latino Eco Festival will build on what Vilar learned and will be hosted at the Dairy Center for five days. Family Day at the CU Boulder Museum of Natural History was attended by 900 people. Overall, the festival gathered close to 4,000 people. S. White inquired as to the accuracy of the budget line item called Family Day Venue. Vilar replied that the line item should be edited to read “Family Day Production,” as flight costs and film rights are included within that item. According to Vilar, the Family Day K-12 Eco Exhibit was the most successful component of the festival as it brought together 11 schools to contribute 600 collages of monarch butterflies. The 2014 festival will feature two Family Days. The next festival will be centralized at the Dairy Center, to better fit the needs of the target audience. E. Pollauf moved to accept the report. S. White seconded the motion. Motion carries 4-0. 3. Family Learning Center – Finding Pathways to Success for Youth, Parents, and their Communities Brenda Lyle (Executive Director) explained that the FLC has only spent $350 to purchase one $350 movie screening license for the documentary, “The New Public.” Currently, they are planning to host two small showings in early May and June and then will organize a larger showing as a group in September, right after school begins. Lyle explained the important subject of the screening – the education and skill-building of impoverished students. S. White asked whether funds have to be spent by certain date. C. Atilano stated that by presenting on the progress of the project, Lyle is complying with the CIF contract. C. Atilano also stated that the commission can approve an interim report and stipulate in the motion that Ms. Lyle report in the fall of 2014. E. Pollauf moved to accept interim report with stipulation that B. Lyle report at the November HRC meeting. J. Beteta seconded the motion. Motion carries 4-0. D. 2014 Community Impact Fund Applications: 1. Boulder History Museum – Carol Taylor (Adult/Membership Programs & Research Coordinator) presented a PowerPoint presentation on their proposal to host educational programming and help implement a memorial site for the 150th anniversary of the Sand Creek Massacre. Ms. Taylor’s PowerPoint presentation gave a history of the Sand Creek Massacre against the Arapahoe people. A. Zuckerman confirmed that the HRC has a remainder of $4,000 in funding to distribute. Nancy Geyer (Executive Director) explained that the anniversary will feature a whole slate of programs, geared towards all types of learning styles – an exhibit, lectures, a film, art – in addition to a historical marker project. The historic marker to mark Ft. Chambers would educate the public at the location of the Sand Creek Massacre. S. White inquired as to whether Boulder History Museum has submitted requests for funding from other organizations. Taylor replied that they will seek funding from the Millennium Trust Fund at foundation. S. White also asked where the marker would be. Taylor responded, 3902 N. 63rd, but that markers can’t be on private property so it’d have to be a roadside marker. J. Beteta asked whether the project has any direct involvement of Native American nations? Taylor responded that some exhibit consultants and members of the exhibit team are members of the Northern Arapahoe. A. Zuckerman asked whether the HRC has ever funded site marker or similar physical designation. A. Atilano responded saying that she doesn’t believe they have. S. White asked for specifics about the marker’s location. Taylor responded that the marker would be on open space property. K. Rahn stated that city permission would have to be secured for this placement. S. White asked who they think will come across the marker – someone who already knows about the massacre or someone who does not know? Would the marker get to the end of educating those who do not know about the massacre? Taylor responded that she envisions it first as a gathering place to commemorate many anniversaries of the massacre as well as a site to be included on Open Space and Mountain Park’s list of cultural and civic sites.

    When Ms. Charlotte McKean Hubbs became Colorado State Regent, 2009-2011, she asked that I update "A Guidebook to DAR Historic Markers in Colorado" by Hildegarde and Frank McLaughlin. This publication was revised and updated as a State Regent's project during Mrs. Donald K. Andersen, Colorado State Regent 1989-1991 from the original 1978 version of Colorado Historical Markers. Purpose of this Project was to update information and add new markers since the last publication and add the Santa Fe Trail Markers in Colorado by Mary B. and Leo E. Gamble to this publication. Assessment Forms were sent to each Chapter Historian to complete on their Chapter markers. These assessments will be used to document the condition of each site. GPS (Lat/Long) co-ordinances were to be included for future interactive mapping. Current digital photographs of markers were included where chapters participated, some markers are missing, so original photographs were used. By digitizing this publication, an on-line publication can be purchased by anyone interested in our Colorado Historical Markers and will make updating, revising and adding new markers much easier. Our hopes were to include a Website of the Colorado Historical Markers accessible on our Colorado State Society Website. I would like to thank Jackie Sopko, Arkansas Valley Chapter, Pueblo Colorado for her long hours in front of a computer screen, scanning, updating, formatting and supporting me in this project. I would also like to thank the many Colorado DAR Chapters that participated in this project. I owe them all a huge debt of gratitude for giving freely of their time to this project.

  • Homeless Campaigns, & Shelter Services in Boulder, Colorado
    Dreams of Mobility in the American West: Transients, Anti- Homeless Campaigns, & Shelter Services in Boulder, Colorado Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Andrew Lyness, M.A. Graduate Program in Comparative Studies The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Leo Coleman, Advisor Barry Shank Theresa Delgadillo Copyright by Andrew Lyness 2014 Abstract For people living homeless in America, even an unsheltered existence in the urban spaces most of us call “public” is becoming untenable. Thinly veiled anti-homelessness legislation is now standard urban policy across much of the United States. One clear marker of this new urbanism is that vulnerable and unsheltered people are increasingly being treated as moveable policy objects and pushed even further toward the margins of our communities. Whilst the political-economic roots of this trend are in waning localism and neoliberal polices that defined “clean up the streets” initiatives since the 1980s, the cultural roots of such governance in fact go back much further through complex historical representations of masculinity, work, race, and mobility that have continuously haunted discourses of American homelessness since the nineteenth century. A common perception in the United States is that to be homeless is to be inherently mobile. This reflects a cultural belief across the political spectrum that homeless people are attracted to places with lenient civic attitudes, good social services, or even nice weather. This is especially true in the American West where rich frontier myths link notions of homelessness with positively valued ideas of heroism, resilience, rugged masculinity, and wilderness survival.
