Ray Joyce is a Boulder native who started and owned some of the first supermarkets in Boulder in the 1950s and served on the Boulder City Council from 1966 to 1969. In this interview he discusses what went into creating and running the successful Joyce's markets, and talks about some of the important achievements of the city council during his tenure, including the creation and funding of the Open Space Program in Boulder, the acquisition of more water rights for the city, and the end of prohibition in Boulder. He also discusses changes between the 1960s and the early twenty-first century in the makeup of the city council and the way meetings are run.
