COUNCIL COMMUNICATION TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: MALCOLM FLEMING, CITY MANAGER DATE: SEPTEMBER 4, 2012 SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. ##, SERIES 2012- A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE OPEN SPACE ADVISORY BOARD’S RECOMMENDATION TO BOULDER COUNTY PARKS AND OPEN SPACE REGARDING 2013 PROPERTY AND TRAIL REQUESTS ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: PARKS & RECREATION DEPARTMENT SUMMARY: Each year the County invites the communities of Boulder County to submit requests for open space and trail projects, per Resolution 93-174, paragraph 10: That the Board of County Commissioners will annually consult the City Councils and Town Boards of the municipalities within Boulder County to assure that open space preservation and trail projects identified by municipalities are considered in setting county open space acquisition and trail development priorities for the following year. The information requested is as follows: A. Open Space requests: Between all of our open space programs, we have acquired a lot of open space in Boulder County. What significant parcels are left in your area that should be protected in order to consider the job done? Please list properties numbered in order of priority, even if you have submitted them in a previous year. B. Trail requests: Boulder County will give stronger consideration to trail projects that connect to existing community trails on county open space properties and regional trails, and trails that are recommended in management plans. Trails that serve primarily a local population are not likely to be considered for funding through the Boulder County Parks and Open Space CIP. Please list projects numbered in order of priority, even if you have submitted them in a previous year. Attached you will find the Open Space Advisory Board’s recommendation to City Council for consideration and submittal to the County regarding future property acquisition and trails projects.
