Open Space Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />March 13, 2024 <br />Page 11 of 12 <br />a. Ember: staff has proposed that for 2025 and it will be <br />discussed in the context of the operating budget process in <br />June. <br />M. Jessamine: Are staff workstations more than $10k? <br />a. Ember — yes, they are surprising expensive <br />N. David: Add acquisitions <br />O. Susan: Add an education center. Could be like Lafayette's at <br />Waneka Lake. Could be mobile to go to different open space <br />locations. <br />a. Charles: pretty big item. <br />b. Ember: mobile option was "surprisingly reasonable" when <br />priced out in the past. <br />P. Charles proposed doing ranking as homework. <br />a. Ember sends out updated list <br />b. Everyone goes through list and creates their own ranking <br />Q. David: Hecla restoration (#12) is premature. Implementing social <br />trails work without city-wide social trails policy is premature and <br />this project might prioritize Hecla over other important locations. <br />Recommends putting this low on the list. It's important, but now is <br />not the time to do it. <br />a. Andy agreed <br />b. Susan thinks it's important to get restoration done but <br />needs fencing to protect areas; if don't do it this spring, <br />would need to wait another season. <br />c. Andy: do restoration on the south side and not social trails. <br />d. Ember to divide Hecla pipeline restoration & social trails <br />restoration into two separate line items. <br />R. Susan: Open Space Wide Vegetation Survey (#16) is really <br />important. It should include a broader ecological survey if <br />possible. <br />a. Ember: Vegetation survey was moved up to inform trails <br />master plan. Very important. <br />S. Charles: Asked to know more about the trucks (#14). <br />a. Ember: one is heavy-duty and one light duty. Right now, <br />they have 4 people using one truck. Would be helpful to <br />separate to go to two sites (vs. picking staff up at separate <br />locations). <br />T. Trails descriptions (Ember details) <br />a. Railroad parallels at Main & South Boulder Road parallel <br />railroad and centennial (design 25 / 26); Church properties <br />(design 26 / construction 27) — Ember to split <br />U. Charles: What about the overlook / underpass trail? <br />a. Ember: postponed b/c included in Trails Master Plan item. <br />V.
