What <br />do you use the trails for (types of activities)? How many “votes” did <br />each recommendation get? <br />o Gather information at the Farmer’s Market or the Thursday evening <br />concerts at Community Park. <br />o Contacting other neighboring Open Space Boards to see if they have <br />any recommendations. <br />o Include on the trail recommendation form the opportunity to write <br />whatever comments the commenter may have about Open Space. <br /> Alan is discussing beginning the Open House / information gathering process <br />in the fall. <br />o July, August, and September would be a good time frame for collecting <br />data to be plugged in to the CIP process. <br /> <br />IX.
