Helen suggested that the <br />board would like to see and review those key indicators at the next meeting. <br />C. Staff is still closing out spring/summer programs. Staff surveys have found <br />and pulled a small amount of purple loosestrife, mostly on the golf course. <br />D. A citizen weed -pull on Bullhead Gulch is being organized with an adjacent <br />HOA. Helen recommended that it should be advertised for the general public even <br />though it was planned with the HOA. <br />City of Louisville <br />Parks & Recreation Department 749 Main Street Louisville CO 80027 <br />303.335.4735 (phone) 303.335.4738 (fax) www.louisvilleco.gov <br />2 <br />
