>> I'M GOING TO [NOISE] GATHER US IN.
[00:00:02]
WELCOME EVERYBODY, THE MEETING WILL COME TO ORDER.[B. 11:00 a.m. CALL TO ORDER/PUBLIC MEETING, Chair Kroll presiding]
THE FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS IS THE APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA.[C. 11:05 a.m. CONSENT AGENDA]
[OVERLAPPING] THANK YOU REGENT CHAVEZ.MOVE BY REGENT CHAVEZ, IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. [OVERLAPPING] THANK YOU REGENT GALLEGOS.
ALL IN FAVOR OF THE CONSENT AGENDA, PLEASE INDICATE BY SAYING AYE.
ANY OPPOSED? NO. HEARING NO OPPOSITION, THE NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS IS THE APPROVAL OF THE CU SYSTEM STRATEGIC PLAN.
[1. Action Item: Approval of CU System Strategic Plan (APPROVED)]
PRESIDENT SALIMAN IS GOING TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS BUT LET'S FIRST START BY JUST GIVING A MOTION ON THE TABLE TO APPROVE THE STRATEGIC PLAN.IS THERE A MOTION? [OVERLAPPING] REGENT CHAVEZ HAS MOVED IT.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHO SECONDED IT.
IF YOU SECOND IT RAISE YOUR HAND PLEASE.
ANY DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS FOR PRESIDENT SALIMAN ON THE STRATEGIC PLAN OR ANY COMMENTS INITIALLY BY PRESIDENT SALIMAN AS WELL? THE PDF OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN IS ON BOARD DOCS AND I SHARED IT ALL WITH YOU ABOUT A WEEK AGO I THINK.
I JUST WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND THANK PRESIDENT KENNEDY FOR HIS LEADERSHIP ON THIS ALONG WITH CHAIRMAN TOO SICK AND ENTROPY TO FOSTER.
SHARON IS, TAKING HER DAUGHTER TO COLLEGE TODAY AND IT'S ALSO ANGELES' BIRTHDAY TODAY, SO SHE'S NOT WITH US.
THEY'VE PROVIDED INCREDIBLE LEADERSHIP AND GUIDANCE ON THIS.
THANK YOU TO THE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE PROVIDED DEEP BACK AND HELP DEVELOP THE PLAN OVER THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF.
WE DO HAVE A WEBSITE THAT WE'RE READY TO MAKE ACTIVE AND I'M HAPPY TO PUT IT ON THE SCREEN SO YOU ALL CAN SEE IT, OR I KNOW WE'RE SHORT ON TIME, I CAN SKIP THAT AND JUST TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.
WELL, I'D JUST LIKE TO ECHO PRESIDENT'S SALIMANS SENTIMENTS.
WE HAD A PHENOMENAL EFFORT ACROSS ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES, AND THE SYSTEM OFFICE TO DEVELOP A STRATEGIC PLAN THAT WILL REALLY GUIDE THE UNIVERSITY FORWARD.
WE HAVE A LOT OF CHALLENGES THAT LAY AHEAD OF US, BUT WE HAVE THE RIGHT PEOPLE IN THE RIGHT PLACES TO LEAD THE UNIVERSITY TO SUCCESS, AND A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK WENT INTO THIS.
EVERYBODY WHO TOOK THE TIME TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS, WHETHER IT WAS JUST AN HOUR OF YOUR TIME IN A FEEDBACK SESSION, OR MANY HOURS OF YOUR TIME DEVELOPING ALL THE DOCUMENTS AND REALLY DRIVING THE PROCESS FORWARD, THANK YOU [NOISE] VERY MUCH FOR THAT WORK.
ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION ON THIS, GLEN? JUST REALLY QUICKLY. THE EFFORT WAS INCREDIBLE.
PROBABLY THE EFFORT WAS WELL WORTH IT, BUT OUR WORK STARTS NOW WITH IT.
IF WE FOLLOW THE STRATEGIC PLAN, PEOPLE ALL OVER THE STATE SHOULD BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THAT AND SEE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO, WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE GOING TO GAIN, OUR FACULTY, WHERE OUR DOLLARS ARE GOING TO BE SPENT, AND THE EFFORTS THAT WILL MAKE THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO A BETTER UNIVERSITY.
BUT IF WE DON'T MEASURE, IF WE DON'T STAY WITH WHAT WE'VE SET AS A STRATEGIC PLAN, IT GOES ON THE SHOW.
THEN WE TALK ABOUT DOING ANOTHER STRATEGIC PLAN IN 8-10 YEARS.
OUR WORK REALLY STARTS RIGHT NOW.
I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO SAY TO OUR TAXPAYERS, AND ESPECIALLY OUR STUDENTS.
"HERE'S WHAT YOUR EDUCATION WILL MEAN AT UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO." THAT'S A BIG DEAL, THAT'S WHY I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT.
I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO THANK PRESIDENT KENNEDY FOR HIS WORK IN MOVING THIS FORWARD, AS WELL AS TODD AND THE GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT WORKED WITH HIM AS WELL. THANKS.
THANK YOU GLEN. ANY FURTHER COMMENTS OR DISCUSSION? EFFIE, WILL YOU PLEASE CALL THE ROLL? YES. REGENT CHAVES? AYE.
REGENT [INAUDIBLE] IS NOT HERE TODAY.

IS THERE A MOTION? [OVERLAPPING] MOVED BY RENNISON, SECONDED BY SPIEGEL.
ANY DISCUSSION WITH RESPECT TO THE ROLE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT IN UNIVERSITY COUNCIL.
HEARING NO DISCUSSION. EFFIE, WOULD YOU PLEASE CALL THE ROLL? YES. REGENT CHAVEZ? AYE.
REGENT GANAHL? I THINK SHE'S TRYING TO COME ON, AND IT'S GOING BACK AND FORTH.
REGENT GANAHL. REGENT [INAUDIBLE] IS NOT HERE.
THANK YOU. THE FINAL ORDER OF BUSINESS, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A VERY BRIEF PRESENTATION BY CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER PATRICK O'ROURKE.
BUT THE FINAL NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS IS THE ANNEXATION AGREEMENT RECEIVABLE IN THE SOUTH.
BUT I THINK WE ALL NEED TO STOP, AND TAKE A MOMENT TO CONGRATULATE OUR NEWEST VICE PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY TO THE BOARD REGENTS.
CONGRATULATIONS CHAIRMAN HUETH, GOOD JOB. [APPLAUSE].
THANK YOU ALL, I LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO SERVE YOU.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE IN THIS ROLE OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS, AND LOOK FOR ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS NOW, AND LOOK FORWARD NOW TO AN INDEFINITE 10-YEAR IN THIS POSITION.
YOU'RE A TRUE ASSET TO THE UNIVERSITY AND WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE YOU.
SORRY FOR PLOWING THROUGH EVERYTHING HERE, BUT I KNOW TIME IS LIMITED.
CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER O'ROURKE WOULD YOU PLEASE TAKE IT AWAY,
[3. Action Item: Approval of the disposition of land to the City of Boulder under the terms of an Annexation Agreement for CU Boulder South (APPROVED)]
AND I'M GOING TO LIMIT YOUR TIME HERE TO ABOUT FIVE MINUTES AND NO MORE.I'M NOT SURE PAT IF YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY ANYTHING BUT WE'RE NOT HEARING ANYTHING, MAYBE YOU'RE JUST LETTING THE SILENCE PERCOLATE A LITTLE BIT BEFORE YOU COME IN AND DELIVER.
I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT, FOR REASONS THAT I CAN'T EXPLAIN, I WAS HAVING A HARD TIME COMING OFF MUTE.
WHAT WE ARE BRINGING BEFORE YOU TODAY AND I WILL DO AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE IS, WE'RE ASKING FOR YOU TO APPROVE THE PROGRAM PLAN AND PROVIDE CHANCELLOR DE STEFANO WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO EXECUTE ANY AGREEMENTS THAT WOULD BE ASSOCIATED ULTIMATELY WITH THE ANNEXATION AGREEMENT FOR CU SOUTH WHEN IT BECOMES FINAL.
AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE BEEN IN A PROCESS WITH THE CITY TO BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT THE ANNEXATION OF APPROXIMATELY 300 ACRES OF PROPERTY KNOWN AS CU SOUTH.
AT THE CITY'S REQUEST, WE SUBMITTED AN ANNEXATION APPLICATION IN FEBRUARY OF 2019, WITH A DRAFT ANNEXATION AGREEMENT THAT WAS RELEASED FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON JULY 12TH, AND REVISIONS TO THE AGREEMENT WERE RELEASED ON AUGUST 6TH.
THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT THIS IS NOT AN ANTICIPATED PROJECT WHERE CITY WILL BE DEVELOPING 300 ACRES, WHICH WOULD BE A PARCEL OF PROPERTY THE SAME SIZE AS THE MAIN CAMPUS.
INSTEAD, OVER 100 ACRES WOULD BE DEDICATED TO BE OPEN SPACE.
THERE WOULD BE ACREAGE THAT IS DEVOTED FOR FLOOD MITIGATION PURPOSES, AND THE TOTAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 129 ACRES.
THE BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY FOR THIS PROJECT, I THINK ARE MANYFOLD, BUT ONE OF THE PRIMARY BENEFITS IS TO BE ABLE TO ALLOW THE CITY TO BE ABLE TO DO FLOOD MITIGATION.
THIS WILL PROVIDE PROTECTION TO THE COMMUNITY AREAS AND APPROXIMATELY 2,300 RESIDENTS WHO WERE VERY DEEPLY AFFECTED BY THE 2013 FLOOD.
THE CITY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS OF THE FLOOD MITIGATION.
ONE OF THE THINGS I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT THOUGH, BECAUSE IT'S BEEN A SUBJECT OF SOME CONFUSION, IS THAT CU HAS COMMITTED THAT IT WILL NOT BUILD ANY HOUSING RESIDENCES OR PERMANENT STRUCTURES IN THE 500-YEAR FLOODPLAIN.
SO WE BELIEVE THAT THAT WILL BE A VERY SAFE FACILITY
[00:10:03]
FOR ANYONE WHO WILL BE LIVING IN THAT AREA.AS PART OF THE AGREEMENT, WE WOULD BE TRANSFERRING TO THE CITY, 30.2 SHARES OF WATER RIGHTS AND THE DRY CREEK DITCH.
OUR SHARES ARE SUBORDINATE TO OTHER SUPERIOR WATER RIGHTS THAT ARE OWNED BY THE CITY.
AS PART OF THIS, THEY HAVE GUARANTEED 140 ACRES OF IRRITABLE WATER TO THE UNIVERSITY AT CU SOUTH UNLESS THERE'S AN EMERGENCY DROUGHT DECLARATION.
DEVELOPMENT ITSELF PROBABLY WOULDN'T BEGIN UNTIL 2027.
THE ANNEXATION ITSELF IS CONTINGENT UPON US RECEIVING THE FEDERAL AND STATE APPROVALS FOR THIS, INCLUDING PERMITTING THAT WOULD RELATE TO THE FLOOD MITIGATION AS WELL AS TO THE WETLANDS AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION.
ONCE DEVELOPMENT STARTS TO OCCUR, THE PRIMARY USE WOULD BE RESIDENTIAL FOR NON-FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY.
WE'VE COMMITTED THAT BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE OCCURS, WE WILL DEVELOP 150 RESIDENTIAL UNITS, AND THAT ANY OF OUR DEVELOPMENT FOR NONRESIDENTIAL SPACE WOULD BE LIMITED TO A TOTAL OF 750,000 SQUARE FEET WITH THE UNIVERSITY PAYING FOR ALL OF ITS OWN DEVELOPMENT COSTS.
TRANSPORTATION HAS BEEN A CONCERN.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING THE RIGHT THINGS TO BE ABLE TO ENSURE THAT THIS WON'T IMPOSE UNDUE TRANSPORTATION BURDEN ON THE COMMUNITY.
WE'VE COMMITTED TO DEVELOPING A MULTI-MODAL TRANSPORTATION CENTER AT THE SITE, AND ENSURING THAT WE'RE PROVIDING MULTIPLE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION BETWEEN THE MAIN CAMPUS AND THE DEVELOPMENT AT CU SOUTH.
THERE WILL BE IMPACT ASSESSMENTS AND FOLLOWED BY IF THE TRAFFIC BURDENS END UP BEING GREATER THAN ANTICIPATED, MITIGATION MEASURES THAT ARE MANDATORY UNDER THE ANNEXATION AGREEMENT.
WE RELEASED THE DRAFT AGREEMENT IN JULY 12TH.
THE CU BOULDER AND CITY TEAMS HAVE ENGAGED IN MULTIPLE PUBLIC LISTENING SESSIONS WITH THE COMMUNITY, MET WITH THE BOARDS, AND HAVE BEEN WORKING TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS CONCERNS.
THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CONCERN THAT WE'VE REPEATEDLY HEARD DURING THE COURSE OF THE NEGOTIATION PROCESS IS A CONCERN THAT CU HAS AN INTENTION TO IMMEDIATELY ANNEX THE PROPERTY, AND OBTAIN THE AGREEMENT TO BE ABLE TO BRING SERVICES AND UTILITIES TO IT AND THEN SELL IT TO A PRIVATE DEVELOPER.
THAT IS NOT ONE OF OUR OBJECTIVES, BUT WE'VE ADDED PROVISIONS INTO THE AGREEMENT TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THAT.
SPECIFICALLY, WE HAVE AGREED THAT THE CITY WILL HAVE A RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY.
THAT RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER WOULD INCLUDE PROVISIONS THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO GIVE NOTICE TO THE CITY TO TRIGGER AN INVITATION FOR AN OFFICE.
IF THE CITY INDICATES THAT IT'S INTERESTED, THEN WE WOULD BE DIFFERING ANY ACTION WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY TO ALLOW THE CITY TO BE ABLE TO SEEK APPROVALS, INCLUDING BONDING NECESSARY TO BE ABLE TO COMPLETE A SALE.
WE'VE ALSO AGREED TO A 10 YEAR CAP ON VALUATION FOR THE PROPERTY FOR THE PERIOD OF TIME, AND THEN AFTER THAT 10 YEAR PERIOD, THEY WOULD BE SUBJECT TO AN INDEPENDENT EVALUATION PROCESS.
FINALLY, WE WANT TO BE ABSOLUTELY CLEAR AND WE'VE INCLUDED A BINDING PROVISION THAT WOULD PROHIBIT US FROM SELLING THE PROPERTY TO A THIRD PARTY OF ANY TYPE AFTER THE ANNEXATION OF THE GROUP.
WE ARE IN THIS FOR THE LONG-TERM AND WE WANT IT TO BE CLEAR THAT WE HAVE NO INTENTION TO SELL THE PROPERTY TO SOMEONE ELSE, BUT WE NEED TO DEVELOP IT IN ORDER TO HAVE IT BE A BENEFIT TO OUR STUDENTS, FACULTY AND STAFF WHO ARE TRYING TO BE ABLE TO LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY IN WHICH THEY WORK AND STUDY.
IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT WE WERE TO SELL TO A THIRD PARTY, WE'VE AGREED ANY SALE TO A THIRD PARTY WOULD HAVE TO INCLUDE A RESTRICTION THAT 45 PERCENT OF THE HOUSING THAT WOULD BE DEVELOPED AT THAT PROPERTY WOULD BE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
THAT IS A CONDITION THAT THE CITY HAS BEEN OBTAINING AND MORE IN OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH DEVELOPERS, AS WELL AS CONDITIONS TO ENSURE THAT THE TRANSFER REMAIN PRIMARILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
WE ARE IN A SITUATION WHERE IF WE DEVELOP THE PROPERTY THAT IS CURRENTLY EXISTING, NOISE, LIGHTING AND WETLAND ORDINANCES WOULD APPLY.
BUT IF THE PROPERTY WERE TO TRANSFER TO ANY DEVELOPER THAT WHATEVER ORDINANCES WERE IN EFFECT AT THE TIME OF THE TRANSFER WOULD BE THERE.
ULTIMATELY, WE WANT TO BE IN A POSITION WHERE A DEVELOPER AND THE CITY WOULD STAND ON THE SAME FOOTING, THAT IS, IF CU HAD NOT BEEN PART OF THE DEAL, IF THERE WAS ANY TYPE OF TRANSFER.
ULTIMATELY, WE'VE INCLUDED SOME OTHER PROVISIONS TO INCENTIVIZE TO ALLOW THE DEVELOPMENTAL OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS OF UNDER 2,000 SQUARE FEET.
WE'VE AGREED THAT WE WON'T CONNECT TO ANY UTILITIES PRIOR TO THE DE-ANNEXATION PERIOD THAT I DESCRIBED EARLIER BECAUSE OF THE CONTINGENCIES FOR FEDERAL AND STATE PERMITTING APPROVALS.
[00:15:04]
WE HAVE DEFINED THAT IF WE PARTNER WITH ENTITIES TO ASSIST US WITH DEVELOPING THE HOUSING AND OTHER FACILITIES FOR OUR STUDENTS, FACULTY, AND STAFF, THAT DOESN'T CONSTITUTE A TRANSFER THAT WOULD TRIGGER THE PROVISIONS I'VE JUST DESCRIBED ABOVE.THE CITY COUNCIL'S PERSPECTIVE.
THE ANNEXATION AGREEMENT WENT THROUGH FIRST READING, AND WAS PASSED ON A SIX TO ONE VOTE ON AUGUST 10TH.
SECOND READING, PUBLIC HEARING, AND OTHER VOTES WAS SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 14TH AND SEPTEMBER 21ST.
WE ANTICIPATE THAT THE AGREEMENT WILL CONTINUE TO BE REFINED, AND SO WE DON'T HAVE A FINAL AGREEMENT THAT IS IN PLACE YET, BUT WE HOPE THAT BY RELEASING THE AGREEMENT EARLY IN THE WAY THAT WE HAVE AND BY CONTINUING TO ACCEPT PUBLIC COMMENT, THAT MOST OF THE MAJOR STRUCTURAL ISSUES WILL HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED IN THE MOST RECENT AMENDMENTS.
THE BOARD OF REGENTS, AFTER THE JULY FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING, THE PROGRAM PLAN WAS APPROVED.
WE'RE HERE BEFORE YOU TODAY TO BE ABLE TO HAVE YOU REVIEW THE PROGRAM PLAN AND CONSIDER THE AUTHORIZATION FOR THE DISPOSITION OF ANY APPROVALS THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY, AS WELL AS WE WILL BE BACK BEFORE YOU AT YOUR SEPTEMBER 9TH BOARD MEETING WHERE YOU CAN CONSIDER ANY SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES AND RECEIVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS AND POSE ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.
YOU CAN SEE THE FULL TIMELINE THERE, BEGINNING FROM WHEN THE DRAFT AGREEMENT WAS RELEASED IN JULY 12TH, LEADING US UP TO TODAY WHERE THE PROGRAM PLAN IS BEFORE YOU FOR APPROVAL.
WE HAVE SEPTEMBER 9TH FOR ANOTHER REGULAR BOARD MEETING.
FOLLOWING THAT, THERE WILL BE A SECOND READING AT CITY COUNCIL AS WELL AS PUBLIC HEARING.
I HAVE PUT POSSIBLE DATES IN AROUND OCTOBER 1ST FOR THE BOARD'S REVIEW OF ANY SUBSTANTIVE FURTHER CHANGES, AS WELL AS A THIRD READING BEFORE CITY COUNCIL BECOMES NECESSARY.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO US TO THAT YOU HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE WE STAND IN THE PROCESS AND WHAT THE ANTICIPATED FUTURE TIMELINE IS.
WITH THAT, CHANCELLOR STEFANO AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE OR TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS ANY CONCERNS.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS.
I JUST HAVE A CLARIFYING QUESTION OF NOLBERT CHAVEZ.
SORRY. THE FINANCE COMMITTEE, WAS THAT A UNANIMOUS APPROVAL OF RECOMMENDING THIS APPROVAL?
>> MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THAT IT WAS.
>> THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING TOO.
>> REGENT RENNISON, I'VE SEEN YOU COME UP [OVERLAPPING]
IN THE SLIDESHOW IT TALKED ABOUT NO BUILDINGS BEING BUILT IN THE 500 AND THE 100-YEAR FLOODPLAIN, IS THAT TRUE OR IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE 500 ONLY?
>> WHAT CAN BE BUILT IN THE 100-YEAR FLOODPLAIN ARE THINGS LIKE FIELDS AND OTHER NON-PERMANENT TYPES OF FACILITIES.
THERE WOULD BE NO BUILDING IN THE 500-YEAR FLOODPLAIN FOR THE PERMANENT STRUCTURES THAT WOULD BE EITHER ACADEMIC OR NON-ACADEMIC.
>> I DO WANT TO MAKE A QUICK NOTE THAT REGENT SMITH HAS RECUSED HERSELF ON THIS MATTER.
BUT WITH THAT, LET'S TAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE DISPOSSESSION OF LAND TO THE CITY OF BOULDER UNDER THE TERMS OF AN ANNEXATION AGREEMENT FOR CU BOULDER SOUTH, IS THERE A MOTION?
>> IT'S BEEN MOVED BY REGENT SHARKEY AND SECONDED BY REGENT CHAVEZ.
IS THERE ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? HEARING NONE, I WILL JUST ADD ONE QUICK COMMENT.
THAT IS A BIG THANKS TO CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER O'ROURKE, AND CHANCELLOR STEFANO, THE MANY, MANY FOLKS AT THE BOULDER CAMPUS AND IN THE CITY OF BOULDER WHO CONTINUE TO WORK TO MAKE THIS ANNEXATION A REALITY.
WE ARE TAKING A BIG STEP TODAY, BUT HOPEFULLY THERE ARE MANY MORE STEPS AND MANY MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO PROVIDE INPUT TO THE CITY OF BOULDER AS WELL AS THE BOARD OF REGENTS FROM MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, AS THIS PROCESS MOVES FORWARD.
WITH THAT, EFFIE, WILL YOU CALL THE ROLL?
>> HE LEFT? I'M SORRY. REGENT GANAHL.
>> REGENT HELLY IS NOT HERE. REGENT RENNISON.
>> REGENT SMITH, DO YOU WISH TO ABSTAIN?
[00:20:03]
>> I THINK SHE'S RECUSED HERSELF, YES.
>> THAT IS 5, 2, 1 WITH ONE ABSTAIN AND THEN TWO NOT HERE.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO EXPECT UPDATES ON THIS IMPORTANT [NOISE] MATTER AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
>> I APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH.
I APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION AND PLEASE REACH OUT TO US AT ANYTIME WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.
>> WITH THAT, I WANT TO JUST TAKE A QUICK MOMENT TO RECOGNIZE CHRIS HILTON OUR NEW CHAIR OF THE INNER CAMPUS STUDENT FORUM AND A STUDENT AT CU DENVER.
CHRIS, IF YOU COULD JUST BRIEFLY INTRODUCE YOURSELF SINCE WE DIDN'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET [NOISE] YOU AT OUR LAST MEETING IN JUNE.
>> OF COURSE. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS CHRIS HILTON.
I'M A STUDENT AT CU DENVER INSIDE THE PUBLIC HEALTH PROGRAM.
RECENTLY ELECTED AS PRESIDENT OF OUR STUDENT GOVERNMENT.
WE ARE CURRENTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF STUDENT GOVERNMENT TRAINING TODAY, ACTUALLY.
BUT IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE WITH ALL OF YOU.
>> WELL, CHRIS, WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR INPUT AS A VALUABLE MEMBER OF OUR SHARED GOVERNANCE COMMUNITY.
PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE AS WE HAVE DISCUSSIONS IN THE FUTURE AT THESE MEETINGS TO INDICATE YOUR INTEREST IN PROVIDING INPUT.
WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO HEAR FROM YOU AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK THAT YOU ARE DOING ON BEHALF OF CU STUDENTS.
WITH THAT, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADJOURN, THAT CONCLUDES ALL OF OUR REGULAR SCHEDULED BUSINESS.
>> ALL IN FAVOR? [OVERLAPPING] ANY OPPOSED? THE AYES HAVE IT. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH AND CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN TO JEREMY.
WE'LL SEE YOU ALL IN SEPTEMBER.
>> THANK YOU, EVERYONE.
