Open Space Advisory Board Minutes July 10, 2024 Page 4 of 7 o David asks if this meeting is going to replace our official QJ training. Rob says no and goes on to say that when in the QJ role you can only comment in public OSAB meetings. Shouldn't talk to neighbors about it, attend public open houses, attend other board meetings related to the subject, etc. If you don't feel like you have the appropriate information you need to ask for it and it will be provided if available. Reiterated that we shouldn't talk to neighbors or community members because of potential conflicts. Suggest neighbors or community members write a letter to OSAB so everyone has the same information. o David asks what happens if OSAB's recommendation differs from staff recommendations. Rob says staff will note that there are differing options and opinions and those will be given to the council. o Susan asks if the document that Ember provided as an example of how OSAB used to communicate with council is appropriate and Rob says that it wasn't and the minutes would serve that purpose in this case. o Andy asks when OSAB reviews construction documents if that is QJ. Rob says it would be in an earlier stage of the process but later in the process it may not be QJ. o Charles asks what the purpose of this is if the developer isn't here and we can't speak to the council. Rob says we're here to discuss changes to QJ ordinance and review the plat packet, so our recommendations are included in the final plat packet. o Michiko asks about section 4.02.050. Suggests it should say `should provide recommendations' instead of `provide comments'. Board agrees and Rob will suggest the changes. o Susan asks why so much of 4.02.040.D is being removed and suggests adding some of it to section B. Rob agrees that some of it should be added to section B, including adjacency language clarifications. o Mark asks about 6.1 and suggests clarifying the language to list specifically what OSAB's role and process will be. Ember says that is captured in D. Rob provides clarification. o David asks Rob to clarify the difference between what happened in the 2022 meeting and how that relates to what has happened recently. Rob says anything related to the public dedication of trails, including OSAB recommendation for an underpass at RTR falls under QJ. Ember provides clarification and Rob redirects to emphasize that this discussion is only about changes to the QJ ordinance and the RTR discussion is a separate topic. o Rob emphasizes that anything QJ will likely be in the form of a public meeting with appropriate notice, etc. o David talks about the importance of OSAB doing site visits and asks why OSAB still isn't approved to do a site visit at RTR and can't get approval to do so now that we're not acting in a QJ role. Rob doesn't answer the question and says to defer to the city attorney. Rob reiterates that we are City of Louisville Parks Division 749 Main Street Louisville CO 80027 303.335.4774 (phone) www.LouisvilleCO.gov 6
