City departments have been asked to prepare ongoing cuts, while officials point to remote work, weak retail growth and federal uncertainty surrounding Boulder\u2019s science economy as key concerns. John Herrick reports.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also today: The stump of a beloved 150-year-old cottonwood on West Pearl Street has been transformed into a Little Free Library after residents pushed to preserve part of the historic tree when it was cut down in 2022<\/strong>. Inspired by the nearby Arnett-Fullen House, the library features a custom roof, repurposed wood shelves and books already donated by neighbors. The project has quickly become a neighborhood attraction.

Showers are likely throughout Monday, with temperatures falling into the upper 30s by late morning and gusty north winds adding to the chill<\/strong>. Thunderstorms are possible this afternoon, and rain could briefly mix with snow overnight, though little to no accumulation is expected. Overnight lows will dip to around 31.<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday stays cool and damp, with highs near the mid-40s and more showers likely through the day and evening. Another round of afternoon thunderstorms is possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday brings a slight warmup, with highs nearing 60<\/strong>, though showers and possible afternoon thunderstorms remain in the forecast before conditions begin drying out later in the week.<\/p>\n<h3>Boulder County offers free PFAS testing for private wells<\/h3>\n<p>Boulder County private well owners can now apply for free testing for PFAS, a group of human-made \u201cforever chemicals\u201d linked to health risks including higher cholesterol, immune system impacts and cancers. <strong>The testing program, offered through Boulder County Public Health and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, is available while supplies last and includes a mailed sampling kit and prepaid return shipping<\/strong>. Some participants may also qualify for free water filters.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement comes as the City of Boulder released its 2026 drinking water quality report, which found no detectable PFAS in the city\u2019s drinking water. Boulder\u2019s water system draws from high-elevation mountain sources including Barker Reservoir, North Boulder Creek, Carter Lake and Boulder Reservoir.<\/p>\n<p>The free PFAS testing program is only available to private well owners.

Residents with questions can contact the sheriff\u2019s office non-emergency line at 303-441-4444.<\/p>\n<h3>Boulder arts grant deadline approaching for schools, artists and nonprofits<\/h3>\n<p>Boulder educators, artists and nonprofits have until Wednesday to apply for city arts grants aimed at expanding arts access for children and lifelong learners.<\/p>\n<p>The city\u2019s Arts Education Project Grant supports programs that connect Boulder students with practicing artists, creative tools and hands-on cultural experiences, while the Lifelong Learning Grant helps fund broader community access to arts and culture programming.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The city expects to award about 10 grants of up to $5,000 each through the Arts Education Project program. Applicants must complete a pre-application before submitting a full proposal.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The city also announced that Professional Development Grant applications will open June 3 for first-time applicants and June 10 for previous award recipients. Those grants will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.<\/p>\n<h3>County hosting townhall on property values, taxes and appeals<\/h3>\n<p>Boulder County residents can ask questions about property values, taxes and the appeals process at a town hall Tuesday evening with county commissioners and Assessor Cynthia Braddock.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The event comes as the county accepts appeals on 2026 real property valuations through June 8 and grapples with a projected $13.2 million budget deficit that officials say will require another round of layoffs and spending cuts next year.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bouldermovingguide.com\/?p=302\">Boulder predicting budget gap as economic forecast remains cloudy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Officials are expected to discuss how property values are determined, how appeals work and how property taxes are distributed among local governments and schools.<\/p>\n<p>The town hall begins at 6:15 p.m. Tuesday at Heatherwood Elementary School, 7750 Concord Drive in Boulder.

The measure, approved by Democratic lawmakers last week, could eventually allow the state to keep up to $4.6 billion annually that would otherwise be refunded to taxpayers, with the money directed toward teacher pay, smaller class sizes, special education and preschool programs.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters say Colorado schools are chronically underfunded, while opponents argue the proposal would weaken taxpayer protections and reduce TABOR refunds. <strong>The measure is expected to increase K-12 spending by roughly $500 million over the next two years if approved by voters.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2600\ufe0f <em>Explore events in Boulder <strong>and use the self-submission form on our events page<\/strong> to reach thousands in our community \u2014 for free!
