There was a Poo Pickup event at the Davidson Mesa Dog Off -leash Area (DOLA). 98 people volunteered. The majority of the volunteers were there primarily to exercise their dogs, but were happy to participate. Aubrey, the Open Space Ranger, coordinated the event. She advertised it, and then worked the event to make it fun; she gave out awards and dog treats. She reported that the volunteers had good attitudes, and 73 pounds of dog waste were collected. Laura asked what day of the week this event was held, since the previous event was held on a Friday night and didn't have nearly the turn -out. Ember replied that it was held on a Saturday. Ember shared an email she received from DOLA users who want to come to the December meeting and participate. They stressed that they are interested in helping resolve the trash and dog waste issues at the DOLA and offered to volunteer their time and contacts with other users. Jim asked about The Poo Fairy campaign and was told that the signs are on order. B. Staff estimates that Open Space has clocked over 1076 volunteer hours in 2017 so far. Ember will send out requests to OSAB members so they can estimate the amount of time they spent, outside of meetings. Staff has also estimated that staff and volunteers have spent over 1000 hours working on Open Space weed control. C. The weed -eating goats will be back at Davidson Mesa starting this Friday. D. The first round of Open Space land re -zoning will be discussed at the next Planning Commission meeting. The topic will be discussed by City Council on Dec. 5th and 19th.
