BOULDER — Developing rules that would require Boulder residents to plant trees when old ones are cut down, and supporting a U.S. “Department of Peace” were among the ideas tossed around by the City Council on the final day of its annual retreat Saturday.
But figuring out Boulder’s energy future will be, by far, the city’s dominant focus this year, the council said.
City Manager Jane Brautigam made it clear to the nine elected leaders Saturday that a large portion of Boulder’s staff and resources will be dedicated to planning options for where and how the city gets its energy in the coming years.
