Open Space Advisory Board Minutes April 10, 2024 Page 2 of 6 Ember highlighted the Warembourg Open Space erosion near the 5-way intersection. The damage started with kids digging into the creek bed to cross the creek. This will likely need to be fixed by the city. The Warembourg Fishing Frenzy will be held on Fri 4/19, a day off for BVSD students. There are 2 sessions being held and usually there is a very good turnout. The Open Space Division will evaluate the larger attendance numbers at some events after this to see whether COVID-era restrictions on the number of attendees should be retained. 7. 7:15 pm Board Updates (5 Minutes) • Communication Clarifications o Michiko is seeking more feedback from the rest of the board when she is done speaking. Board members should feel empowered to ask for clarification from her and to interrupt the interpreter as needed. • General o Jessamine mentioned that she and Andy are serving on a grants tiger team. They met and are planning to put together a collaborative database of types of grants that might be available for open space and trails. They are hoping to take advantage of contacts on other boards (e.g., David's contacts on the Superior Open Space Advisory Committee). They are seeking suggestions on which organizations to investigate. o David mentioned that he attended a S. Boulder Rd. steering committee on March 14. Only overarching themes and no specific recommendations for the S. Boulder Rd. corridor between Broadway in Boulder and 120th St. in Lafayette have been presented so far. o David mentioned that he attended the city's comprehensive plan open house on March 21 and that he saw Michiko, Susan, and Andy from the board there. There were about 150 people in attendance, and it was very well run. Quite a bit of feedback was provided to city staff, and it will be challenging to gauge priorities in some situations since in some categories all elements were being identified by the public as high importance. o Susan passed out a summary of our priorities for the comprehensive plan per what came out of the February OSAB meeting presentation by Rob Zuccaro and as homework asked for each board member to prioritize highest to lowest. They are as follows: ■ Protect, maintain, and acquire open space ■ Improve and maintain trails ■ Wayfinding completion and social trails plan City of Louisville Open Space Division 749 Main Street Louisville CO 80027 303.335.4774 (phone) www.LouisvilleCO.gov
