Motions and recommendations made during the September 15th meeting None Updates from Board Bob Muckle commented that the fall would be a good time to send letters to homeowners asking them to remove the-illegitimate gardens and other plantings on open space. It was also suggested that 2 or 3 letters might be necessary and appropriate. Gary Mansdorfer said the gate on the west end of the "off leash" area on Davidson Mesa was chained open. Updates from Staff 1. Tom Phare provided an update on the Reclaim Water System and brought recommendations to the board re: routing of the pipeline. Construction on the pipeline is due to begin in late October or early November and, weather permitting, is expected to take 90 -120 days. Mr. Phare said he estimates the work in the high activity area on and near the Coal Creek Trail and in the adjoining open space will take approximately 45 days. The construction contract will contain a restoration clause for disturbed areas. While Mr. Phare was not certain of the details of this contract, he said it is customary for restoration maintenance to extend one year and that budgeting shouldn't be a problem as it amounts only to about $2000 on a $1.2 -1.5 million budget. Matt Jones asked that the open space restoration be given the same priority as the golf course and asked that the City make a commitment to do whatever it takes to make sure the restoration is done properly and that the restoration actually takes.
