WHO ARE Boulder Friends of Chautauqua (BFoC)
Why we formed:
When the plans were drawn up for a 7000 sq ft new construction, many citizens didn't believe it. How could this happen at Chautauqua? Some of us came together to spearhead the effort to get the word out about the new building.
While the Landmarks Board, the National Park Service, the State Historic Fund, and countless citizens OBJECTED to the inclusion of a list of new building ideas in the Framework hat was being proposed, the CCA kept the itemized list of location suggestions in their latest iteration of the CCSF.
Although that was pulled from being voted upon on May 15, it is not over. The CCA still has this on their mind. Having successfully temporarily halted that misguided effort, BFoC has since realized that the decision making process at Chautauqua lacks City oversight. Our current goal is to play a bigger part in making sure the City has appropriate oversight over the actions of the CCA, and acts in its full capacity as the main stakeholder in the preservation and financial sustenance of Chautauqua, AND THE OWNER OF THE LAND.
Our main goal is to stay on top of the truth, follow the process, and inform the citizens when critical decisions are to be make.
