Open Space Advisory Board Minutes December 9, 2020 Page 3 of 4 than reinventing the wheel. Helen thought the TMP could be the source document. The board felt that ranking trail priorities is worthwhile and probably worth doing annually. B. Resource Management: David The pandemic prohibited action on a lot of these Action Items, including not being able to meet with PPLAB. Laura pointed out that the new 2021 goals might be simply to act on the 2020 goals. Ember said that staff is creating a new dog leash campaign that the staff will like OSAB to comment on. Nathan said the Warembourg and Cotton Park Master Plans have been pushed out past 2021 due to budget issues. David had two potential 2021 goals: to work with staff to articulate a policy about fort building and nature play on OS and holding a discussion about pandemic impact on open space, such as the trail widening observed on several properties. C. Wayfinding: Helen Helen summarized some of the work of the Wayfinding Tiger Team. Laura asked about the MOST document and how it could be folded into this discussion. Peter recommended putting it under the General Business category. Laura suggested we revisit the MOST document in 2021. Helen put the OSAB Wayfinding "way forward" recommendations as 2021 action items, including a communication plan with community and Council outreach. D. Education and Outreach: Laura Laura said a lot of these goals didn't happen due to the pandemic. However, the same goals would be good 2021 goals. Nathan commented that being fully staffed with rangers helps with the advocacy and education work. E. General Business: Peter Peter emphasized trying to host a meeting with PPLAB during 2021. Peter asked if City Council was still asking OSAB to do the key indicator surveys. Nathan answered that the KPIs have changed to reflect citizen survey results more than OSAB work, though Ember added that the OSAB acquisition list is still considered a KPI. Peter suggested eliminating item number 2, an idea that found no disagreement amongst the board. Peter and Helen suggested the MOST discussion should happen toward the end of the year. Helen added that a study session with Council about wayfinding is warranted and overdue. David asked whether the board thought there should be a formal discussion about the process that led to the gate -access controversy. The board seemed to think this could be dealt with on a case -by -case basis. Peter made a motion to approve the document as written and edited in the meeting by Helen. Tom seconded this motion. The motion passed unanimously. The updated table will be provided as "Minutes" in the January Packet. 9.
