La Cityof Louisville PARKS & RECREATION Memorandum To: Open Space Advisory Board From: Ember Brignull, Open Space Manager Date: September 12, 2018 Re: Discussion Item XI. Set Dates for OSAB Trail Survey Implementation Purpose: The purpose of this Discussion Item is to set a time frame for OSAB members to complete the trail survey before the October OSAB meeting. Background: In 2016 the City transitioned from an annual to a biennial budget process organized into unique Sub Programs. The Open Space Division Sub Programs include: Acquisition, Education & Outreach, Maintenance & Management, and New Trails & Trails Maintenance. An initiative of City Council, Key Performance Indicators (KPI's) have been developed for each Sub Program to identify goals and to measure how efficiently and effectively resources are being used to achieve these goals. It is staff's understanding that some KPI's across the City require board assessments. Several of the Open Space KPI's require OSAB input based on annual review: Acquisition Sub -Program: "OSAB Ranked and Council Reviewed Candidate Parcel" Maintenance & Management Sub Program: "Maintenance of Open Space Rating" New Trails & Trail Maintenance Sub -Program: "Maintenance Rating" and "Trash Containers Rating" As KPI's evolve, OSAB may be asked to complete additional review (items italicized above reflect new requests for 2019). Staff will continue to work with OSAB to communicate new requests and gather OSAB feedback. This feedback will help shape and evaluate effectiveness in reaching City goals and prioritizing work. Next Steps: Review trail survey results at the October 10th OSAB meeting and vote on the overall 2018 trail Maintenance rating for the New Trails &Trail Maintenance Sub Program. Also, discuss survey challenges and potential improvements for implementation of the 2019 trail survey. 12
