Discussions Item: Review & Finalize 2015 OSAB Accomplishments - <br />Ember put up the list of 2015 OSAB accomplishments that was sent to the board <br />as an email. There were no additions or changes. This list will be provided to City <br />Council at a future study session. <br />X. Discussions Item: Create a List of 2016 Goals - <br />Ember put up the list of the brainstorming suggestions from 2015. Helen wanted <br />the board to identify their own top five 2016 goals, using the brainstorming list as a <br />jumping -off point, and to write them onto post -its. The post -its posted to the white board, <br />then grouped into five categories /themes. Then everyone voted on their top three <br />categories. <br />Acquisitions— 6 votes <br />Wayfinding -5 votes <br />Dog Issues -4 votes <br />Ranger Support -2 votes <br />Resource Management -6 vote <br />Laura mentioned that an education category /theme didn't materialize, even though this <br />has been a strong interest of OSAB. She thought this reflected the fact that the board <br />feels like that part of Open Space management is working well, making it seem less <br />pressing for change. Spencer wondered about wayfinding and why it's still a main <br />priority, when the consultants are done. Helen said that OSAB's can lend its voice for <br />continuous support and pressure. Helen said she thinks it's important to keep the <br />pressure up to get the wayfinding program, and the trail connections it identified, across <br />the finish line. She argued that it's important to keep it high on the board's list of <br />priorities so staff and Council will know we are still passionate about it. Christopher <br />agreed. <br />XI. Discussions Items for Next Meeting on February 10th - <br />A. Role of the full -time ranger position: educational vs. enforcement. <br />B. Scott Robson from the City Planning Department will report on the findings of <br />the Small Area Plans and how they impact Open Space. <br />C.
