Telluride, CO Ranked Choice Voting Ballot Measure

An ordinance adopting a six-month moratorium on development of stores larger than 80,000 square feet. The city used the time to review the design, transportation, and other planning issues posed by big box retailers, and to make changes to its planning and zoning rules.

This policy brief examines the effects of Denver\'s 2011 Initiative 300 which enables employees to acquire sick time hours depending on the size of their business and how many hours they work. This brief examines the experiences of San Francisco and Washington D.C. in implementing paid sick leave policies. The brief analyzes the issue from public health and economic perspectives. The brief concludes that the direct costs to businesses of a paid-sick-leave law are relatively small and are mitigated in whole or in part by indirect savings due to increased worker productivity and lower employee turnover. In addition, the brief finds that paid sick leave results in improved public health and reduced overall costs to the health care system.

An ordinance approving the submission of a question to qualified Boulder voters on the November 2006 ballot, asking whether or not the electorate approves of the imposition of a Climate Action Plan Tax, effective from April 1, 2007 to March 31, 2013. If approved, the tax would be computed on the basis of the amount of electricity used by residential, commercial and industrial customers. The money generated from the tax would be used to fund a Climate Action Plan, a plan designed to reduce and mitigate the health and safety impacts of greenhouse gas emissions, and achieve local consistency with the Kyoto Protocol. Specifically, tax revenue generated would be used to implement programs to increase energy efficiency, increase renewable energy use, reduce emissions from motor vehicles, and take other steps towards meeting the goals of the Kyoto protocol. In subsequent years, the city council would have the authority to increase the tax rate as needed to continue funding of the Climate Action Plan.
