 <br /> <br />3. Approval of Agenda <br />Laura suggested we add Board Updates to the agenda. Peter moved to approve the agenda <br />with Board Updates added as item V. Tom seconded. The motion passed unanimously. <br /> <br />4. Approval of Minutes <br />Last meeting’s minutes were lost and the minutes in the packet represent a reconstruction <br />from Ember and Nathan’s memory. Peter had two comments on the minutes. First, the <br />minutes report that Helen was present at the meeting, which was not true. Also, in Discussion <br />Item 11 the board did not approve staff’s plan to close social trail to the south of Hecla Lake. <br />The board agreed with Peter, saying they had wanted to delay restoring the trail south of <br />Hecla and to further consider this particular social trail closure. Jessamine was concerned that <br />the minutes didn’t convey the board’s enthusiasm to meet with PPLAB. The board suggested <br />adding a sentence to the section about meeting with PPLAB: “OSAB is still interested in <br />meeting PPLAB soon.” Peter moved for approval of the minutes with the aforementioned <br />changes and corrections. Jessamine seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. <br /> <br />5. Staff Updates <br />A. Staff needs a volunteer for a volunteer for the snowflake program at the Library Feb. <br />19th. Laura volunteered. <br />B. Ember reminded the board about a required meeting for Referral Development <br />Reviews training for boards being consulted about the current Redtail <br />Ridge/Nawatny/Philips66 development proposal on Feb. 27, at 6:30. Laura questioned <br />the sudden need for this training and Nathan explained on where it came from. Helen <br />asked if this meeting would count as the boards’ mandatory open ethics training, and <br />Nathan answered that it would. <br />C. Meeting Conflict: November 11, 2020 will be Veterans Day and all City buildings will be <br />closed. The OSAB meeting will be canceled. Nathan suggested that might be a good <br />month to do the PPLAB joint meeting. The board generally wanted to meet with PPLAB <br />sooner if possible, but that thought it might be a good second option. <br />D. There is a tentative date for a study session with City Council on May 26, 2020. Helen <br />said that Council has a template for the board to work with, and we will work on it <br />during the March meeting. <br />E. Peter asked if the 95th Street underpass is on schedule. Nathan answered that he <br />thought so. <br />F. Helen asked whether the 51 memorial benches listed in the packet were total sites, <br />some of which are already taken, or if they were 51 available sites. Ember clarified that <br />2
