Open Space Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />April 8, 2009 <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />would be good to review other templates for a resolution. Joe agreed to <br />provide a draft resolution at a future meeting. <br />2. Truman suggested that we have the following components in the <br />resolution: <br />3. Solicitation of public input <br />4. Collection of input <br />5. Selection of most popular ideas by Board <br />6. Submit to City Council for approval <br />Coyote Management Plan <br />1. Ember mentioned that human safety is our concern, not pet safety. <br />Ember said that human feeding (intentional and unintentional) of coyotes <br />is the primary danger associated w/ coyote problems. <br />2. Larry moved to endorse the Coyote Management Plan and Spencer <br />seconded. The board’s endorsement was approved unanimously. <br />3. Ember reviewed some of her recent changes to the Plan. <br />4. Linda suggested that the 15’ leash maximum is too long. Ember <br />mentioned that the leash max is part of municipal code and changes <br />would have to go through the code change process. <br />5. Ember said that the fine for feeding coyotes is perhaps $25 or $50 in the <br />municipal code. Spencer said that perhaps we should raise the fine to <br />make it a larger impact. Then he suggested that we should consider <br />raising the fine only after the Plan has been adopted and a series of <br />education events have been conducted. <br />6. Ember said that a hazing meeting is being conducted in Denver <br />Alternative Energy <br />1. Justin said that in August 08 the city had conducted a public survey where <br />there was overwhelming support for using open space for locating <br />alternative energy solutions. Justin asked if the Board would support <br />green technologies on open space. <br />2. Spencer, Truman, Ember and Aaron suggested that this is a good topic for <br />future consideration and discussion. <br />Open Space Website <br />1. Ember demonstrated the new website. <br />2. Ember said the coyote and prairie dog information would be added soon. <br />Off-Leash Survey Update <br />1. Spencer said that he has no new information <br />2. Spencer will call Tom to move the process forward <br />Discussion Items for Next Meeting <br />1. Superior meeting <br /> <br />
