Open Space Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />March 13, 2024 <br />Page 4 of 12 <br />happened in the Executive Session with that property last time <br />around. <br />viii. David asked if the Acquisitions Tiger Team (Brad & Michiko) should be <br />involved. Adam said he is going to discuss it with Jeff. <br />ix. Michiko: <br />A. Is there a way to address this in a middle ground / hybrid <br />approach? The options seem to be: (1) the Tiger Team working <br />with Adam and Jeff, (2) do nothing with Tiger Team, (3) wait until <br />brought to OSAB. <br />B. Deciding what to do with the South Boulder Road & Eisenhower <br />property could serve to demonstrate how to proceed in future. <br />Perhaps the Tiger Team could bring a part of the presentation to <br />Adam and Jeff and advocate for a particular approach. <br />C. Adam noted that it is tricky to align the Tiger Team with what <br />OSAB (full Board) would want to include in terms of process. It <br />would be good to include this topic on the April OSAB agenda, <br />then the Tiger Team would go to Jeff and Adam between April and <br />May to provide input. <br />x. Adam is also looking for input on what types of external resources could <br />support (like land trust, etc.). <br />A. Brad <br />A. What happens informally in the interim? Time is of the essence <br />when properties become available. The City may not be able to <br />move fast enough because of the nature of City government or <br />because the plan isn't yet in place. <br />B. Adam: City Manager must initiate and negotiate / have <br />conversation about acquisition. If discussed in Executive Session, <br />the landowner can wait that out or they can move forward with a <br />private sale. Discussion items can be quickly added onto an <br />Executive Session agenda, but the meeting itself may not take <br />place for several weeks. <br />C. Brad: Can the City Manager call and just let the landowner know <br />the City might be interested? Adam indicated yes. <br />xii. Adam: Curious about why the South Boulder Road property was pulled <br />off market. Pretty restrictive what can be done on it. Maybe some <br />restrictions have been lessened. <br />xiii. Michiko: Executive Sessions are who? City Manager, Council, and <br />specific staff are asked to participate. <br />A. Adam: discussing the possibility of including an OSAB member, <br />likely the chair, in those meetings to provide additional insight. If <br />City Council wants to invite someone from OSAB, that's its <br />prerogative, but it's not part of the standard process. <br />xiv. Susan: as part of the process, it would be helpful for OSAB to know more <br />about City Council's priorities. For example, is it a waste of time to include <br />properties that are zoned Commercial? <br />City of Louisville <br />Parks Division 749 Main Street Louisville CO 80027 <br />303.335.4774 (phone) www.LouisvilleCO.gov <br />
