Approval of Minutes <br />• Motion: David <br />• Second: Mark <br />• Approved by all <br />5. 7:05 pm Public Comments on Items Not on the Agenda (5 minutes, more time <br />as needed) <br />. Cathern Smith recommends that OSAB get advice, guidance, and counsel before <br />quasi-judicial (QJ) meetings to make sure we are conducting meetings <br />appropriately, etc. Rob says the city will likely provide this guidance as it has with <br />other boards in the past. She also notes that she has been commenting on <br />Redtail Ridge (RTR) in various forums for several years and is sad and <br />concerned about the apparent lack of concern about wildlife by the city. Suggests <br />other areas for connectivity at RTR that might be better for the prairie dogs. <br />. Tamar Krantz suggests adding language to the QJ policy about land adjacent to <br />open space and supports making language about OSAB's purview much <br />broader. She also supports OSAB doing site visits at places like RTR. Suggests <br />leaving one side of the pond at RTR undisturbed to create better wildlife habitat. <br />Asked a question: is the planning commission or other body going to be looking <br />at the trail maps or will this go directly to city council? She continues to be <br />concerned about the use of rodenticide on the site. She would like to see the <br />developer agree to not use it. Is there a way for the city to force the developer to <br />do this? <br />6. 7:10 pm Staff Updates (5 Minutes) <br />• Juniper removal at Harper Lake per written updates <br />• Trail count numbers per written updates <br />3 <br />
