Theodore Zeisig, 3073 Fulton Circle, Boulder, Colorado, agreed with Lowe, Berger and Martin. He <br />expressed concern that the City is using scare tactics to expedite removal of the prairie dogs, and <br />offered to provide technical assistance to relocate the prairie dogs. <br /> <br />COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL COMMENTS ON PERTINENT ITEMS <br /> NOT ON THE AGENDA <br /> <br />Howard replied he is not aware of any department within the City intimidating the public with scare <br />tactics in the prairie dog relocation. He asked Steve Baysinger, Parks & Recreation Director, to <br />clarify the problems encountered with trapping the prairie dogs. <br /> <br />Baysinger replied the traps were continually vandalized. He went on to explain that the largest <br />problem has been digging the burrows 4-5 feet in depth to prevent the prairie dogs from freezing this <br />time of year. A summer relocation would only require 2' burrow depths. <br /> <br />Howard and Mayer explained that the land along McCaslin was zoned and annexed in the 70's. The <br />City is under contractual agreement to allow development along those parcels. <br /> <br />Levihn asked Council for assistance in locating a volunteer to serve on the Boulder Agency on Aging. <br /> <br />Mayer asked why Martin and Miller felt this attempt to remove the prairie dogs would be different <br />than previous attempts. <br /> <br />Miller replied that the earlier project occurred during the first year that PECA began, and apologized <br />that the volunteer appointed to this area was not a good choice. The project was attempted in a very <br />short period of time, which was not sufficient for the size of the relocation. The PECA organization <br />had since grown, and relocations occur almost weekly with a 95% success rate. <br /> <br />REGULAR BUSINESS <br /> <br />APPOINTMENTS TO LOUISVILLE BOARD AND COMMISSIONS VACANCIES <br /> <br />Sisk moved to appoint Sarah Klahn for the two-year term on Planning Commission, seconded by <br />Howard. Ail in favor. <br /> <br />Davidson appointed Allison McDougal to the Arts & Humanities Council, Sheri Marsella to the <br />Urban Renewal & Housing Authority, Mary Deany to the Resource Conservation Advisory Board, <br />Bryan Meyers to the Liquor Authority Board, and moved that Winston Tustison be reappointed to <br />serve on the Library Board of Trustees, seconded by Sisk. All in favor. <br /> <br />ORDINANCE NO. 1277, SERIES 1998 - AN ORDINANCE REZONING CERTAIN REAL <br />PROPERTY FROM INDUSTRIAL (I) AND COMMERCIAL BUSINESS (CB) TO <br />PLANNED COMMUNITY ZONED DISTRICT - COMMERCIAL (PCZD-C) AND <br /> <br /> <br />
