E. Pollauf seconded the motion. Motion carries 4-0. IV. Community Participation None. V. Action Items A. 2014 Community Impact Fund Reports 1. BMoCA – Healing After the Flood: A Public Art Project – Randee Toler (Development Associate with BMoCA) reported that when they proposed the project to the HRC, it was in the very early stages and that changes occurred as they developed the project. The project was renamed to The Flood Project: Rising Above and Restoring Boulder Through Art. $65,000 has been raised for the project through community support. A public reception was held on Dec. 10, attended by 150 guests. The scope was expanded beyond the temporary public artwork to include a dinner benefit on Feb. 24, attended by 102 guests, an exhibition at BMoCA of 49 Boulder High School student photographs, displayed from Dec. 10 to Jan. 24, and a catalog of essays and photos to be published near the first anniversary of the flood. Release of a limited edition poster is planned for March 24; a collaboration between BMoCA and local graphic designers in Boulder and Lyons. Six local artists created two participatory projects: “Rescued Memories” by Viviane Le Courtois, currently installed in Boulder Central Park and the bARTer Collective wheat-pasting project; on display on the side of BMoCA and also posted inside the Boulder Public Library. A. Zuckerman commented that she attended the event on Dec. 10 and enjoyed seeing the creative treatment of people’s stories. A. Zuckerman moved to accept the report. E. Pollauf seconded the motion. Motion carries 4-0. 2. Dental Aid – Community BBQ/Free Dental Screenings - Elva Quintana (Outreach Director) reported on the status of the event planned for Aug. 2, 2014 at 4155 Darley Ave. in Boulder for uninsured children up to age 20 and will include a DJ, an oral health painting contest, a panel and an oral health presentation for parents. There will be tables and two tents set up outside; participants can go inside for cleanings where services will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis and include free cleanings by dental hygienists. Dental Aid anticipates eight dentists, five hygienists and 10 dental assistants to volunteer at the event to provide services and answer questions. Up to nine patients can be seen every 30 minutes or less; cleanings will take about 15 minutes. E. Quintana asked if additional sponsorship is allowed to offset increasing expenses. C. Atilano responded affirmatively. The only requirement per contract is that the HRC is promoted as one of sponsors. J. Dings questioned whether the HRC should vote on the report as the final event is yet to occur. C. Atilano recommended and it was agreed that the final report be presented and voted on in September or October. 3. Family Learning Center – Finding Pathways to Success for Youth, Parents, and their Communities – The representative of the Family Learning Center was not present. B. 2014 Community Impact Fund Application 1. BMoCA – Dia del Niño - Randee Toler (Development Associate with BMoCA) requested $2,800 from the HRC for this event on April 26 from 11a.m. to 1 p.m. and will include a balloon arch, storytelling, dance and music and will promote healthy eating. The Longmont museum will partner with BMoCA this year and they hope to engage 400 to 500 people. J. Dings commented that he attended last year and thought it was very engaging and that it worked well to have the performers walk through the farmers market. The Commission requested clarification on some of the budget items. E. Pollauf asked about the advertising and how the collaborating partners are involved. R. Toler responded that it includes a bilingual color ad in the Daily Camera, printing of color bilingual postcards, which are provided to collaborative partners, promotion on websites and social media. E. Pollauf asked if BMoCA knew how most attendees hear of event and if a survey has ever been done. R. Toler replied that they did not know how most people heard of the event and that it would be good to find out. S. White asked if bilingual invitations were mailed out. R. Toler replied that they were distributed at the museum and through community organizations. S. White asked about the required translation services, since this was a recurring event. R. Toler stated that there is always some updating required due to the changes. S. White asked about the event documentation. Toler replied this budget item is for a photographer. S. White asked how the $2,000 honorarium is divided. Toler replied that this will go to the three different large groups who will perform and that the amount does not cover the expense. A. Zuckerman asked about the space rental cost. Toler replied this is lost opportunity cost for the museum. A. Zuckerman stated that she would like to fund the event but not in the full amount due to the limited funds available. J. Dings commented that this event uses culture as shown through performance-based art and is a local event which embraces diverse heritages. J. Dings moved to fund the event in the amount of $1,000. S. White seconded. Motion carries 3-1. VI. Discussion/Informational Items A. 2014 HRC Work Plan 1. Legislative Update: March 5 City Council Meeting – C. Atilano provided the Commission with an update on Council’s support for HB14-1124 regarding in-state college tuition for American Indian students with ties to Colorado. 2. Subcommittee to Review MEI Report – C. Atilano asked if one or two members of the Commission would be interested in joining a subcommittee to further review the report. A. Zuckerman and E. Pollauf expressed interest in meeting with staff and community members such as Out Boulder to review the report. 3. Celebration of Immigrant Heritage RFP – C. Atilano reviewed the 2014 CoIH RFP draft. The deadline to apply is June 27 with proposal reviews and decisions at the July HRC meeting, giving groups two months to organize an event. The date can be adjusted to vie groups more time. The description of funding and eligibility is the same in 2014. S. White asked if an organization could seek funding from CoIH funds, CEF and CIF. C. Atilano replied affirmatively but that staff would review the applications to determine which fund would be the most appropriate. J. Dings commented that the funding cap was $2,500 per group in 2013. C. Atilano replied that the proposed funding cap for 2014 of $1,000 per group would allow for funding of additional groups. The total available for CoIH for 2014 is $5,000. $7,000 was reserved in 2013 and close to $5,000 was awarded. J. Dings asked if the maximum amount requested was higher, if the HRC could choose to fund it for a lower amount. C. Atilano replied affirmatively and further discussion was held regarding the fund amount. S. White asked about the origin of CoIH. C. Atilano replied that the Immigrant Advisory Committee (IAC) and the HRC initially decided to fund it on a pilot basis, and it is in the workplan for funding through 2014. It was noted that a declaration is signed by the Mayor describing the numerous events happening throughout Boulder. J. Dings advised maintaining flexibility and raising the maximum grant amount to $2,000 and suggested that proposals be due the second week of June to be presented at the June 16 HRC meeting. C. Atilano commented that the IAC was considering moving the date to summer in 2015 and they would like to see more community groups hold celebrations but were pleased to see events occurring and being promoted by the city. Each year is a building process. In 2013, it was hard to continue with intention of celebration when people were impacted by the flood. The kick-off event was cancelled due to the flood. Unlike CIF/CEF grants, it is difficult to come up with other funders for CoIH events and the CoIH funds are more likely to be the sole source of funds for an event.

    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.
