Resident urges Boulder to reject Xcel annexation, calls for municipal power
Summary
A single in-person public commenter urged the Planning Board to oppose annexation for Xcel Energy’s site and advocated for a municipal utility alternative, reflecting a strand of local opposition to utility annexations and rate structures.
At the public hearing portion of the Aug. 4 meeting, resident Lynn Siegel argued against annexation of the Xcel Energy site and called for local energy solutions. "No annexation for Xcel Energy. We're gonna do our own energy. Boulder, power, and light," she said, listing concerns about rates and prior decisions and urging elected officials to reject annexation.
Board members received the comment and continued deliberation about the concept plan; staff and the applicant did not take action on the annexation tonight. The comment was recorded in the public hearing transcript and will be part of the administrative record when annexation and site review applications are submitted.
