Open Space Advisory Board Minutes July 10, 2024 Page 2of7 o Mark asks if they are also looking for animals? Ember says they are only counting human visitors. o There is also technology available to track visitation and use patterns using cell phone pings, but that is not being used just yet. o Michiko asks if the grant tiger team is looking at grants that can be used for this purpose? Ember says no but they could, and grants have been used for similar things in the past. o Charles asks if foot or bike race participants are counted in these types of counts. If they pass a counter then they ae counted but we can't single out their use. • Susan asks if past RTR wildlife surveys are available and if so, can they be provided to OSAB? Rob said they were provided to OSAB in 2022 and can be found in public documents or in the OSAB packet from that time. • David says he doesn't want the acquisition policy discussion to stall because the city manager is gone. Board seems to agree, and Ember will look into it and provide an update. • Susan asks if Louisville rangers will have body cameras? Ember: They have worn them for the past two years. • David asks what is going on at Hecla? Ember says it is a Public Works water line repair and should be completed soon and will require restoration. David asked for public notice, which Ember agreed to supply. 7. 7:15 pm Board Updates (10 Minutes) • Charles asks about the date of the next meeting being listed as Aug 7th. Ember says it will be on August 14th in city hall. • David: o Planning to attend a meeting with public works leadership on July 11th about communication and to give feedback. o Bike to Work Day went well. Spoke to ranger Brendon about e-bike and speed limits on trails. Ember says concerns have been relayed to city council and code enforcement. Rangers aren't allowed to "chase" and pursue citizens and speed limits are hard to enforce because speed is subjective (without equipment to read the speed) but can stop in an educational capacity. o Commented that the OWL worked well last month and sounded good. o Asked if there has been increased messaging about fire hardening with recent spot fires in the area? o Noted that at the end of a recent city council meeting, there seemed to be interest in considering cycling through board chairs and vice chairs. 8. 7:25 pm Discussion Item: Quasi -Judicial Status Related to OSAB. Presented by: Rob Zuccaro, Director of Community Development (45 Minutes). City of Louisville Parks Division 749 Main Street Louisville CO 80027 303.335.4774 (phone) www.LouisvilleCO.gov 4
