Open Space Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />August 14, 2024 <br />Page 2of8 <br />6. 7:10 pm Staff Updates (5 Minutes) <br />- Ember provided an update that a new Open Space Manager was recently hired and will be <br />coming to the next OSAB meeting. <br />- Susan reminded us that a decision on the Acquisition Process will be postponed (tentatively <br />to the January 7, 2025, City Council meeting) until the interim or new City Manager has an <br />opportunity to be briefed and review the process. <br />Andy asked about the latest status of the quasi-judicial (QJ) process for the OSAB. Since <br />there has been a change in City Manager, this is still under review. The City Clerk, Meredyth <br />Muth, usually provides the training, but she is currently serving as interim Deputy City <br />Manager. <br />- David asked if there was any feedback from City Council on the OSAB comments on RTR <br />trails. Ember mentioned this would be included in the public works submission and will look <br />into getting the status. <br />- Susan suggested we schedule a discussion on open space acquisitions as an agenda item <br />for the September meeting. <br />- Jessamine asked if there was an update on the new wayfinding implementation. Ember <br />mentioned that there has been positive feedback from the public and OSAB members and <br />will ask for more feedback from the City. OSAB members would like to get additional <br />feedback and noted that the striping on the pavement has faded. Ember noted that <br />contractors are working to resolve this. Items that were missing in the initial implementation <br />will be included in the next phase. David suggested that OSAB members review the <br />wayfinding implementation for accuracy and provide comments before the Lake -to -Lake <br />wayfinding implementation. <br />- It was asked if there were any comments on juniper removal at Harper Lake. So far there <br />have been only positive comments. There are plans to replace the junipers with fire- <br />resistant plants. <br />7. 7:15 pm Board Updates (10 Minutes) <br />• Assign Secretary Appointments for Upcoming Meetings <br />- Sep: Charles <br />- Oct: David <br />- Nov: Jessamine <br />- David commented that he likes seeing the newly deployed trash cans at Open Space areas <br />and would suggest adding recycling containers to some Open Space areas and Parks. <br />- David commented that a bike jump in the North Open Space was recently removed. <br />- It was suggested that OSAB continue to track the Hwy 42 and South St underpass as there <br />may be an effort to pay for it in part through OSAB funds. There has been a recent proposal <br />to build a tennis court facility on a plot of land between Louisville and Lafayette adjoining the <br />Harney-Lastoka Open Space. The Louisville/Lafayette/Boulder County IGA allows Lafayette <br />to build an open-air sports complex on the site, but an enclosed complex would require <br />approval from all three entities. OSAB should be aware and see how it impacts open space, <br />City of Louisville <br />Parks Division 749 Main Street Louisville CO 80027 <br />303.335.4774 (phone) www.LouisvilleCO.gov <br />4 <br />
