Open Space Advisory Board Minutes August 13th, 2014 Page 2 of 6 5) The Urban Drainage Outfall System Plan is back up for review. This is the drainage system that impacts the Harney Lastoka parcel. The plan involves a new canal system and one of its primary goals is to prevent flooding in old town. The current construction estimate is $12.6 million. Cameron from Public Works will be coming to an upcoming meeting to present this plan to OSAB to ask for the board's comments. Public Works also needs to present to Lafayette as they are co- owners of the Harney Lastoka property, so we also could invite Lafayette's Open Space board to our meeting to review. 6) The City of Lafayette earned a walkability and wayfinding grant from Kaiser Permanente. It might be interesting to hear about their initiative, providing another motive for a joint meeting with the City of Lafayette's Open Space board. 7) Some recent/upcoming education programs by Open Space: -July 31: Nature Games with the Louisville Rec Center Summer Camp ( -60 kids) - August 2nd: Stream Clean Up (12 people) -Sept 6th: Nature Detectives at Daughenbaugh for 7 -12 year olds 8) Ember shared photos from the Youth Corp's floating wetland project. 9) Staff is working with the County and the City of Lafayette on the water irrigation project from Hecla Lake to Harney Lastoka. 10) Catherine is working on a draft of education material for the kiosk at Harper Lake. Let Ember know if you want to be involved. 11) Work on the Coal Creek bridge (near Community Park) will begin soon. Public Works will be brining information to the board for review. VI. Board Updates: 1) Laura and Tom attended the McCaslin underpass ribbon cutting ceremony. Tom reported that the mood was ebullient. Many thanks to Tom for speaking and introducing the project and the Mayor. 2) Christopher reported that the City of Superior bought a parcel of land, and Boulder County bought a conservation easement on it. 3) Christopher was in Aspen last week and reports that they have a downtown ice rink that can be converted in the summer to a mini golf course using portable kits. Christopher thought it was a good use of space. It seemed to be a popular attraction and might be a cool idea for downtown Louisville. VII. Public Comments on Items Not on the Agenda: None VIII.
