Board Updates <br /> Mike noted that the social trails at North have become much worse than he has <br />seen in the past. He noted erosion concerns. <br /> Emily reported that Council is considering the idea of creating an advisory board <br />that is focused on parks and/or recreation services. <br />o Joe noted that OSAB has mentioned the need for an advisory board to <br />address trails. OSAB generally has dealt with trail-related issues in the <br />past, but some of the trails do not cross open space and so, the issue <br />does not necessarily fit within the purview of OSAB. <br />3
