Recreation Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />September 25, 2023 <br />Page 3 of 3 <br />Recreation & Senior Services Update — Kathy Martin <br />Kathy reported that the City is getting ready to do a Master Plan for Parks, <br />Recreation, Open Space and Golf. The first task is to choose a consultant. <br />Kathy will be looking for feedback related to the choice of the consultant. <br />The last master plan was in 2012. The Master Plan is a guide for <br />improvements, but Board members wondered what accountability exists. <br />Kathy will email a link to the previous Master Plan from 2012. <br />Kathy reported that Rec Center and Senior Center staff are attending the <br />Colorado Parks and Recreation Conference. After the Aquatic Maintenance <br />Manager resigned, the job was posted and Daniel Biddleman was hired for <br />the position. His former position of Head Guard was posted. <br />The Rec Center will host a Senior Health and Resource Fair next week. <br />Boulder County Age Well is ready to present an update in November or <br />December. <br />Board Updates <br />The RAB Memo about the sustainability presentation was sent to City Council. <br />Lisa attended a City Council budget meeting and reported that the budget looks <br />bleak. A major priority for the City is to pass the ballot issue. <br />Outdoor Recreation Bond Initiative Discussion <br />RAB members discussed the possibility of a bond initiative, so that Louisville <br />could move forward with new outdoor recreation amenities. This could <br />provide funding for pickleball courts, soccer/multipurpose fields, a new golf <br />clubhouse, tennis courts, and other amenities, as chosen and prioritized by <br />the community. City council and citizen support from many different groups <br />would be critical. The current focus of City Council is to pass the Open <br />Space and Parks ballot issue, so we will revisit this idea after the election. <br />Discussion Items for Next Meeting <br />Staff Updates <br />Parks and Rec Update --Adam <br />Golf Course Update <br />Board Updates <br />Adjourn — The meeting was adjourned at 8:13. <br />Motion: Lisa Norgard <br />Second: Dick Friedson <br />
