Open Space Advisory Board Minutes May 13, 2020 Page 2 of 7 Nathan stated that there were impacts of COVID-19 on City revenue; Rec Center is closed; the Golf Course just re -opened; and that they were looking at budget cuts throughout city. He also stated that they were looking at revenue projections from Finance. Nathan also commented on the Executive Session from last night regarding property under contract at 131 Cherry. Council decided not to move forward to exercise first right of refusal. The property has conservation easement limits that limits building. Nathan provided an update regarding the HWY 42 project. Contractors can't work on wing wall yet or the concrete rock walls because the laborers were quarantined due to COVID-19. The projected completion date is mid -to late July. David asked for an update regarding the Davidson Mesa prescribed burn. Ember stated that the burn has been canceled due for 2020 due to COVID-19. Jessamine asked about the large number of interactions that the Ranger is having with the public due to increased visitation. Since we are no longer hiring the second Ranger is there a way for the second ranger to get support. Ember stated we have a strong relationship with the Police Department and we are linked into dispatch. Field information and calls are being transferred between PD and rangers. However, officers will be dispatched to most urgent calls first so things like nature play (forts, bridges, etc.) and dogs off leash will have to be addressed as time allows. Nathan asked Rob -update on Red Tail Ridge schedule Rob Zuccaro-General development plan both PPLAB and OSAB Boards reviewed concepts and made suggestions which the developer incorporated into their plan. Next step is that it goes to Planning Commission and City Council for public hearing. That is currently scheduled for June 1 V.
