Open Space Advisory Board Minutes March 8, 2023 Page 8 of 9 educational fire series. Jessamine thought that maybe after the Wildfire Risk work in 2023, this sort of programming would work better in 2024. David asked about programming with Street Faire. Ember said she'd like to work on it, but doesn't want to overcommit the staff's time, since working at the Street Faire represents a full day of work. Michiko asked for some clarification about the Pulling for Louisville event. Ember said it is a one -day event with a little training, snacks, and free plants. In contrast, the Noxious Weed ID training is a booth designed for trail users who walk by. Ember said that the booth model has been really successful: a lot of people like to stop and talk for 10 minutes. Susan asked about a tree event. Ember said that the city arborist does those and a tree walk and Open Space would cross -promote the event. Michiko suggested the August Water Conservation Event should be in the spring, before the summer growing season, when it could have the most impact. Ember said that this event had been planned by the Sustainability department. 11. Discussion Item: Brainstorming Potential Agenda Topics and a Start Time for Joint Meeting with Superior in May. Presented by David Blankinship, OSAB Chair David said Superior is interested in meeting, so the joint meeting would be May 10t'. The Superior Open Space Council meets on the same nights Louisville OSAB does, though a little earlier. David suggested a 6:00 start time, since fire issues would be discussed, and the public might like to attend. David said last time these boards met, Louisville hosted, so maybe Superior would host this time, but that was still to be determined. Ember said that since the fire consultant would be presenting, there might be more people, so she cautioned the capacity of the room should be considered. David asked for recommendations for the topics to be discussed. He suggested the fire consultant (already committed) and the Overlook Underpass Trail connection. Ember said that Superior is working on their open space master plan, so OSAB might want to hear about theirs before Louisville starts on one. Charles cautioned against adding too many topics, so there would be room for discussion and letting Superior choose some topics. Charles suggested discussing regional trails, especially the Coal Creek Trail. 12. Discussion Item: Social Trails Brainstorming Process Solutions for Director Consideration. Presented by Charles Danforth, OSAB Member The board decided to table this discussion for April as it was getting late. 13. Discussion Items for the Next Meeting April 12', 2023. 1. Changing the name of the board to include something about trails. 2. Social trails process brainstorming (Item 12 from this meeting). 3. Sales Tax Task Force update as a discussion item. 14.
