Open Space Advisory Board Minutes January 11, 2023 Page 5 of 7 There was a motion for Laura as secretary, and Charles seconded the motion. Laura was asked if she would be secretary again and Laura said she'd do it if no one else wanted to, and no one else volunteered. The motion passed unanimously and Laura was declared the board's secretary. Jessamine asked why Jojo's board appointment is only for one year when Michiko's is for two years. No one knew the answer. 10. Update Item: 2023 Housekeeping -Update Contact Information and Distribution of Open Government & Ethics Pamphlet David asked for any edits to the list of the updated OSAB member contact information. Jojo mentioned that their name had been spelled wrong on the emailed pdf, but has been corrected on the hardcopy list given tonight. Ember said she will make sure it is spelled correctly on the revised electronic version as well. David asked for Michiko's preferred contact methods and Michiko replied that she would share a text -friendly number, but email was her preferred contact method. The 2023 Open Government & Ethics Pamphlet was included in the meeting packet and can be considered distributed to board members. 11. Action Item: Approve 2022 OSAB Accomplishments. Presented by David Blankinship, OSAB Chair David explained the board's process for Goals and Accomplishments. The "Lead Person" designated for each Goal Area in the document is responsible for making sure the accomplishments in that area are documented and the goals in that area are articulated. When the board checks in on the document during the year, the Lead Person is responsible for leading the discussion for each area. Jessamine (Lead Person for Acquisition) suggested for Item 1.1, discussion in December be called "semi-final" instead of "final," as a vote on that discussion would be held at tonight's meeting. Otherwise, she liked the accomplishments as written. Charles (Lead Person for Trails) suggested a few grammar edits in Item 1.1. He also wanted to add that the Trails Tiger Team presented to the full board in September and got feedback at that time. Charles said that in general the board and staff had other priorities than tackling issues like social trails. Charles suggests adding to 3.2 that the board discussed potential alignments for the proposed trail connection from the Overlook Underpass Trail in December. Michiko suggested that the trail needed a better name. Susan (Lead Person for Resource Management) suggested putting the language of the whole accomplishment document into the past tense. Susan said she hadn't heard an update about the Bee City USA program, and Adam said that the City Council had approved the proposal and now the city is waiting for the Bee City USA organization to process the application. Adam and Ember suggested that Open Space and OSAB could be helpful to the Bee City USA project by adding input on educational programming. Helen and Susan reported that they had earlier volunteered to help with this project.
