Approval of Agenda • Motion: Mark • Second: Michiko • All approved Ember noted that the agenda was reposted with a notice that items 8 and 9 were rescheduled. Council is pushing back the date for discussion on Redtail Ridge, so there will be time for any OSAB comments in July to make it to Council in time for Council to consider them. 4. Approval of Minutes • Motion: Charles • Second: Susan • All approved 5. 7:05 pm Public Comments on Items Not on the Agenda (5 minutes, more time as needed) Tamar Krantz expressed concerns about rodenticides on the Redtail Ridge (RTR) site now that grading can begin. She also asked that OSAB look closely at the Redtail Ridge agreements with the city to understand what commitments from Sterling Bay are binding. She has sent a follow-up email with more details, which has been included in this month's packet along with other citizen communications. Sherry Sommer also expressed concerns about treatment of prairie dogs at the RTR site. She reminded OSAB that we can ask for actions from Sterling Bay, like the Northwest Parkway did. Suggested that OSAB request that the developers use passive relocation or carbon monoxide instead of rodenticides and that if they do use rodenticides that we ensure they follow all guidelines to ensure no injury to other species. Also, noted that Sterling Bay said they were doing wildlife studies. She has not seen them and suggested we ask about them. Cathern Smith submitted comments in writing that will be put in next month's packet. 3
