City Council <br /> Study Session Summary <br /> April 23, 2013 <br /> Page 3 of 5 <br /> • Restroom at Arboretum <br /> • Renovation of Xeric Demonstration Garden and creating a <br /> Memory Walk <br /> Teresa reported that the Xeric Demonstration Garden has not been <br /> maintained. HFAB is considering removing signs that incorrectly identify <br /> plants to simplify the garden. The Memory walk would be a fundraiser <br /> where citizens can purchase engraved bricks for walkway. <br /> At the conclusion of the presentation, Mayor Muckle asked about the <br /> Memory Walk. Teresa reported that the project isn't ready to be launched <br /> so HFAB is not ready to sell the bricks; other projects are taking a higher <br /> priority. <br /> Council Member Jasiak asked if HFAB tips could be streamed on Channel <br /> 8 and members thought that was a good idea. Mike concluded by saying <br /> HFAB hopes Council will continue to encourage citizen water <br /> management. <br /> Mayor Muckle asked if HFAB is going to be a Parks Advisory Board. <br /> Councilman Keany voiced that there is a need for an advocate for Parks; <br /> do we need more parks? Where? Questions that need to be addressed <br /> are: is the City going to form a Parks Board and would it be part of HFAB? <br /> Does HFAB agree it is necessary? <br /> Update/Discussion —Open Space Advisory Board (OSAB) <br /> Ember Brignull, Open Space Manager, introduced OSAB Board members.
