Open Space Advisory Board Minutes June 14, 2023 Page 6 of 6 Michiko pointed out the box for possible management goals on the sample form on the document, and said it would be good for people to take notes about this when they are on the August property tour. Michiko asked about crafting a simple narrative statement for each visited parcel. Laura and other board members said that the property profiles maintained by staff already have some language for the parcels, but that if something is observed that isn't already on the profile, board members should give that feedback. Jessamine said that we should ask the City Council and Boulder County, the recipients of the results of this process, for feedback about the most helpful format for delivering this document. Laura suggested that she and Michiko could meet with a few Council members and Jessamine suggested that Ember could touch base with the County. Jessamine added that the board is never sure that City Council is actually looking at the memos OSAB sends them. David suggested that the discussion could be kept very simple, like "what format is the most helpful for you?" Michiko asked if the meeting with Council members should be before the property tour. Jessamine said that it could be before the memo to Council is written in September. Adam suggested that the memo to Council might get more attention this year if the ballot measure gets passed with an acquisition reserve specified. Adam added that people will be looking to see what land is purchased with that fund and will expect to see results. David commented that it will be important to consider smaller parcels. David proposed the following timeline: at the July meeting, the board will finalize the list of properties to visit; at the August meeting, the board will tour properties in a van; at the September meeting, the board will talk about the properties and propose their ranking for the memo to City Council. Charles and Helen said they might be absent for the August meeting. David said he might be absent for the September meeting. The feedback from this meeting will be incorporated into this document to be included in the meeting minutes. 10. Discussion Items for the Next Meeting July 121h, 2023. 1.
