Ember talked to both Superior and Lafayette's open space boards and both boards are interested in a joint meeting with Louisville's OSAB in either April or August. They are also open to a meeting combining all three boards. Ember suggested we discuss plans for this meeting at a future meeting. B. Ember is working with many Front Range open space agencies to plan a cross - agency map app (or web based map) for trails. They have been tasked to find out what features citizens would like to see. Ember asked the board for volunteers to help inform the process of what citizens would like. This is all fairly preliminary, and the project has at least a two year horizon. Helen asked if there would be meetings for the volunteers to attend and Ember responded that it could all be done over email. Helen and Laura both volunteered to assist. C. There is a new deadline for Open Space volunteer applications set for April 1st. The reason for creating this deadline is to help streamline the paperwork of background checks. Helen asked if Open Space will have sufficient volunteers for 2016. Ember said they are still looking for more but she thinks by April they will be in good shape. They have a particular problem getting people to volunteer for weed pulls. Helen asked if the City's new marketing person (Denise) could help with volunteer recruiting. Ember said that Denise is slated to help with volunteer recruiting and generating new recruitment ideas. Ember was particularly thinking of targeting City of Louisville Parks & Recreation Department 749 Main Street Louisville CO 80027 303.335.4735 (phone) 303.335.4738 (fax) www.louisvilleco.gov
