Discussion Item: OSAB Recommendations for Capital Improvement Projects. <br />Presented by Ember Brignull, Open Space Superintendent <br />• Ember provided an overview of the memo and table in the packet. <br />i. Items 1-11 in the table are projects already in process for this year. OSAB <br />will have a chance to weigh in on some related details. OSAB should <br />already be aware of most of these. <br />A. Trash cans (#8): Moving toward wildlife friendly & ADA accessible <br />• Adam described an estimate of 2C 2024 funding: $1-1.2M in revenue $250k of <br />which would be used for two new staff positions. Including an acquisition reserve, <br />there would be about $750k for other initiatives. It's to be determined how much <br />goes to projects. <br />• Ember: Staffing is not listed because it's operational. Council wants a memo <br />indicating support / prioritization of projects and staff is asking for OSAB to rank <br />remaining projects on a high -medium -low (or no) priority basis. <br />• Charles: Doesn't feel like he has a clue about equipment, employee <br />workstations. <br />i. Ember: Workstations are critical because she needs a place for <br />employees to sit. <br />City of Louisville <br />Parks Division 749 Main Street Louisville CO 80027 <br />303.335.4774 (phone) www.LouisvilleCO.gov <br />
