The district has hired an independent consultant, Brent Ives, principal of BHI Management Consulting, to run the meetings. Ives will gather input from district staff, board members and residents and prepare a report for the district’s board.
“A strategic plan is a roadmap that serves to focus our energies and invest our resources into the future,” District Manager Jim Mueller said in a prepared statement. “The purpose of these meetings is to actively solicit ideas from our community to create a realistic roadmap for the district over the next five years.”
Mueller said the meeting is open to those in the district who want to give their opinions and thoughts about the district’s future. Any topic connected with that subject is on the table.
The board will see a draft of the report in about two months and is scheduled to consider approving the plan in November.

As to the comment about letting Boulder Creek rot and lack in services....well now, that's just patently silly. Boulder Creek has banks, service stations, a lumber yard, restaurants, gift stores, antique shops, natural food store, grocery store, fire department, coffee shops, dentists, doctors, vets, auto parts, post office, schools, churches, laundromats, pharmacies, pet stores, martial arts, dress shops, jewelers, nonprofits, print shop, computer repair....
Geez. Sounds like a pretty service-laden town.
Love Boulder Creek!
If you want concrete and government programs and office buildings perhaps you can check out Santa Cruz, San Jose or even Fresno? Sounds like that might be your kind of place.
Good grief people, this is boulder creek. When did we go from conservation and environmental preservation and slow growth to "let's build everything everywhere we can"?!
First felton with the housing and big library, then boulder creek. What's up with the environmental groups all of a sudden being pro-development? are their kids the building contractors or what?
wasn't this supposed to be the dawning of the age of aquarius?
Just think it's ironic, that's all.
Come on. Lame. Fail.
Certainly the foot traffic from everyone in the San Lorenzo Water District Boundaries coming to pay their bills and the lights in the yard protecting the vehicles from vandalism and theft will change the character of the neighborhood much more negatively than jazzercizing stay at home moms, playgrounds and the community gardens proposed by the rec district on a site less than a half a block down the street...
