I U16 City . Louisville Parks. Recreation & Open Space Open Space Advisory Board Meeting Minutes Wednesday July 13, 2022, 7:00pm Louisville Public Library Call to Order Charles called the meeting to order at 7:00 pm. 2. Roll Call Board Members Present: David Blankinship (remote), Laura Scott Denton, Charles Danforth, Peter Gowen (remote), Helen Moshak, Susan McEachern, Jessamine Fitzpatrick, Steven Knapp Board Members Absent: Thomas Neville Staff Members Present: Ember Brignull, Adam Blackmore 3. Approval of Agenda Peter moved to approve the agenda as written. Jessamine seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 4. Approval of Previous Meeting's Minutes Ember pointed out that the minutes included a Memorandum of Decision, written by Peter that needs to be approved by the board before it can be included in the minutes, so the board discussed the document. Helen suggested adding the language of the motion from the previous OSAB meeting to the end of the Memorandum. Peter agreed with this idea. Susan didn't like the language in the Memorandum stating that Davidson Mesa hadn't been ecologically impacted by McCaslin Blvd going through it (Item 21.B.). She thought that sounded like Peter's opinion rather than fact, so it shouldn't be in the Memorandum. Several board members agreed with her, including Peter. David asked for clarification about Item 13.C. in the Memorandum, asking whether the developers had actually committed to the trail extension described there, or if it was just verbally discussed in the meeting. Peter said he had gotten that information from the developers' letter from the meeting; this satisfied David. David asked about the item 21.A. which suggested that the board recommended siting a dog park on the land. David felt like that had been discussed, but not necessarily agreed upon by the board. Laura expressed her ambivalence about a dog park at the site. Laura and Jessamine pointed out a numbering discrepancy in the Memorandum. The board agreed that the Memorandum could be included in the minutes if the language about the dog park and Davidson Mesa being crossed by McCaslin were both removed, the formal motion was added, and the formatting and numbering was cleaned up. Helen motioned to approve the document, and the June 2022 meeting minutes, with these changes. Peter seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously with Jessamine abstaining.
