L City f Louisville COLORADO • SINCE 1878 Open Space Advisory Board Meeting Minutes Wednesday, April 14, 2021, 7:00pm Electronic Meeting Call to Order Jessamine called the meeting to order at 7:00. II. Roll Call Board Members Present: Jessamine Fitzpatrick, Peter Gowen, Helen Moshak, David Blankinship, Tom Neville, Charles Danforth, Laura Scott Denton Board Members Absent: Anneliese Steel Staff Members Present: Ember Brignull, Nathan Mosley, Steve Roels III. Approval of Agenda Jessamine approved the agenda without revision. IV. Approval of the Previous Meeting's Minutes Helen's last name was misspelled. Helen suggested an alteration to the second sentence in the 3rd paragraph on page 5 of the minutes. The minutes said that the board decided that it would not take property costs into account when ranking target properties for acquisition. Helen pointed out that budget considerations were never part of the board's purview. Laura replied that during the meeting, Helen has brought up costs during the discussed year, city council members had pushed back on including the Philips 66 parcels on the acquisition list because they thought it was too expensive and would impact the city's budget. The board had discussed and had rejected that argument, deciding to review and include the land. Laura and Helen agreed to recommend the wording be changed from "OSAB decided that year" to "OSAB re -affirmed that year." Tom moved to approve the minutes, as with the previous correction and alteration. Peter seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. V. Information Item: Public Comments on Items Not on the Agenda Jessamine reviewed the rules for public comment. Ember announced that an email from Sherry Kessler, to the board, had been forwarded to the board regarding the recent increase in social trails on Warembourg and how the social trails seem to be degrading the land. VI. Information Item: Staff Updates See staff updates provided by Ember on pages 15-16 of the April 2021 OSAB Meeting Packet. Ember reminded the board that June 14th is the City Council budget deadline, so any budget feedback is needed by then. Because this is the second year of the biennial budget process, alterations would likely be minimal. Ember asked the board for volunteers for a Kids to Parks event on May 15, 10:00-1:00.
