At their Jan. 22, 2025 meeting, the Boulder Junction Access District Parking and the Boulder Junction TDM joint commissions unanimously approved the Nov. 2024 meeting minutes, elected Commissioner Ryan Cook as vice chair of the BJAD parking commission and created a two-member subcommittee to draft a letter to Boulder City Council.

The approvals and appointments came during routine procedural business following roll call. The commission approved the November 2024 minutes by voice vote; the meeting record shows unanimous consent among voting members present. Members discussed whether to delay approval until one commissioner who lacked the meeting packet could review it; that commissioner subsequently received the packet and the vote proceeded.

Commissioner Ryan Cook offered to serve as vice chair of the BJAD parking commission after members noted the group had no current vice chair. A motion and second were made and the commission voted to elect Cook; staff noted two commissioners were not eligible to vote on BJAD parking items because they do not serve on that commission. The meeting record indicates the motion passed with affirmative votes from the voting commissioners present.

The commission also voted unanimously to form a subcommittee to draft a letter to city council expressing commission priorities and recommendations. Commissioners Ryan Cook and Rebecca DeMichele agreed to form the two-person subcommittee and present a draft for the commission to consider at a future meeting; staff said the draft can be circulated to the full commission in advance of the meeting but that substantive back-and-forth by email is restricted by public-meeting rules.

Commissioners and staff also discussed commission recruitment in the same segment. Staff said there were no BJAD-specific applications on file at the time but that recruitment flyers had been distributed and that applications could appear before the Jan. 31 deadline; staff agreed to confirm application counts with the city clerk and to circulate an electronic copy of recruitment materials to commissioners.
