Staff Updates <br /> At the City Council Meeting, the PROST Master Plan was approved. <br /> Staff is working with some local Boy Scouts to build bat boxes and kestrel <br />boxes. <br /> Volunteers in 2011 – Generally, the numbers have held steady. There <br />was a slight decline in large projects. <br /> Volunteer information and packets have been updated. <br />o <br /> Reported mountain lion sighted at the North End near Hecla Lake, but <br />thus far, Staff has not been able to confirm. <br />VII. Board Updates <br /> Open Space Open House for May 2012 – Alison has volunteered to lead <br />the subcommittee. <br /> Mike and Helen reviewed the 2011 Raptor Nest Monitoring Summary put <br />out by Staff. <br /> City of Boulder had to shoot two coyotes due to very aggressive behavior <br />(biting). <br /> Tom has a couple of students who are doing dog park surveys around the <br />metropolitan area. Tom and his students noted that in the hour they took <br />surveys on Davidson Mesa at the off-lease area, the majority of people <br />polled indicated their willingness to pay some type of entrance/use fee. <br /> This issue will likely come up again during the design phase for the <br />o <br />McCaslin / Washington underpass. <br />VIII. Public Comments on Items Not on the Agenda <br /> Caryn Greer, 161 Raintree Ln.: <br /> Ms. Greer was at the City Council meeting last night because she <br />o <br />wanted to hear the plans regarding improvements/expenditures at <br />the golf course. <br /> She stated that she and many individuals from her group (LOSST) <br />o <br />dislike the idea of spending a significant amount of money on the <br />golf course. <br /> She stated that most people who have tried to use the golf course <br />o <br />for walking or other purposes have been asked to leave. <br /> She suggested to Council that they do further study before <br />o <br />spending additional funds on the golf course. She recommended to <br />OSAB that we do not include language that would permit the golf <br />course to tap Open Space Tax revenues. <br /> Angie Layton, 619 W. Juniper Ct.: <br /> Ms. Layton lives near Warembourg. <br />o <br />
