SUBJECT: TITLE <br />DATE: DATE PAGE PAGE <br />3. DOES YOUR BOARD HAVE SPECIFIC BUDGET REQUESTS IT WOULD LIKE <br />THE CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER AS A PART OF THE BIENNIAL BUDGET <br />PROCESS? <br />Walking, bird watching, nature play, exercise and bicycle commuting in our open <br />space properties and trails are the safest recreation activity alternatives available <br />to our community throughout the governor's COVID-19 stay at home and safer at <br />home orders. Please prioritize Open Space operations and management and <br />the hiring of the Ranger position as you make adjustments to the 2020 and 2021 <br />operating budgets. <br />Wayfinding (trail construction, signage and maps) continues to remain the OSAB <br />top capital and user experience priority. Please prioritize and commit to a phased <br />project plan to implement and complete the wayfinding project including signage, <br />maps, guide infrastructure and trail improvements through the CIP and <br />Operations budget process and multi -year cycles. <br />4. ARE THERE AREAS IN WHICH THE BOARD WOULD LIKE CITY COUNCIL <br />INPUT/FEEDBACK? <br />Please work with representatives from the boards and city administration to <br />create a board budget priorities and feedback process as part of the Council <br />budget process schedule. If the Council and the City Manager developed a <br />standard format and schedule for budget priorities input from each of the boards <br />in partnership with the appropriate city department, then this process would <br />increase participation and accountability for the boards and citizen input. <br />5. WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE FOR THE CITY COUNCIL? <br />We would like to increase communication with and contributions to the Council <br />We appreciate feedback and input on communication we initiate with the Council <br />(memos, questions, comments). <br />• How will the Council reply or provide feedback? Are there any plans to <br />reinstate the Council Liaison positions or invite a board representative to <br />attend and participate in City Council agenda items involving the board's <br />subject matter or role? <br />• We request further discussion and clarification about the process for <br />developing administrative regulations and the role of boards. We are <br />committed to partnership with city council, parks and open space staff, <br />and OSAB work in good faith to ensure timely contributions to and <br />notification about important decisions before they are put into law or code. <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br />
