09-23-26 Human Relations Commission Meeting

The City of Boulder Human Relations Commission held a meeting on September 23, 2026, primarily focused on internal scheduling, planning for an upcoming retreat, and ongoing advocacy related to technology use and human relations. The commission discussed adjusting their regular meeting schedule to the fourth Wednesday of each month and considered holding their annual retreat on a Saturday in November or December. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to planning a public hearing with the Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) to address discrimination and harassment concerns, with the goal of gathering diverse community perspectives and informing potential recommendations. The commission also reviewed a detailed document outlining desired outcomes for the hearing and discussed continuing advocacy efforts regarding the city's use of automated license plate reader technology, specifically the Flock cameras contract, which is currently extended through May 2027. No contract awards, RFPs, or direct procurement actions were discussed during this meeting.
