Council meeting includes testy exchanges on several issues

Issues over the contract with the State for spending the $500,000 Boulder Development Fund (BDF), a request to allow livestock inside the city limits, and appointments to the city police commission were discussed at the Boulder City Council meeting January 16.

Some of the exchanges at the meeting made clear some council members are displeased with the city attorney.

The first such evidence came during discussion of a proposed contract on the BDF funds. Council member Drew Dawson, serving at his first meeting since his November election to the council, expressed dissatisfaction with the content of the contract with the Department of Commerce and the process through which it was developed.
