Received public comment from a resident concerned about Warembourg <br />social trails. The board felt that off usage of trail systems that are off of the trail <br />system should be mitigated if possible. The board agreed that the issue should <br />be discussed as an agenda item for future board meetings. <br /> <br />4. Another public comment from Arthur Phelps stating that Hecla Lake was not <br />on the goals list and he stated that he was concerned that Hecla Lake was not on <br />the OSAB's 2010 goal list.

Spencer Guthrie stated that he went to the weed pull and it was well <br />attended with a group meeting at Vic's in downtown Louisville @ 8 am <br />Wednesday every week to organize weed pulls <br /> <br />Discussion Channel 54 Announcements <br />Lori Laingar from the Chanel 54 board stated that they have nine new <br />members and they are very excited to collaborate on OSAB issues with the <br />channel. Additionally, they suggested they have many volunteers that would be <br />interested in working with OSAB and may even be able to dedicate a show for <br />Open Space issues. Tom asked how much time would be available and Laurie <br />stated that it would depend on the request and that they would be flexible. Laurie <br />stated that it would cost approximately $300.00 dollars for a 30-minute show. <br />OSAB stated that they have many ideas and look forward to working together in <br />the future. <br /> <br />Discussion Educational Initiative in Local Schools <br />Larry developed an itemized sheet that could be distributed to teachers at <br />local schools aimed at increasing education regarding Open Space. Tom stated <br />that the teachers he spoke to (2nd to 5th grade) with recommended starting <br />education with children at a young age in order to engage students. Additionally, <br />Tom stated that Fireside Elementary received the idea positively. Ember asked <br />how many times a year they would like each class to participate and Tom stated <br />that he did not ask that question and would follow up with an answer. Spencer <br />asked what could be done organizationally to move this forward. Tom replied that <br />we should start making a list of topics of the key points that need to be <br />communicated. Justin suggested that OSAB coordinate with a local teacher <br />(possibly at Fireside Elementary) in order to gain insight into their curriculum so <br />OSAB can integrate educational goals concerning OSAB. <br />
