Parks and Public Landscaping Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />September 3, 2025 <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />Parks and Recreation Board Joint board subcommittee needs to follow up with Kathy <br />Martin. <br />Tennis court issues of maintenance and shortage of facilities continue to be ongoing. <br />Gene acknowledged that the Louisville golf course has been approved by the Audubon <br />organization. <br />Children from the community have been fishing in the ponds at the golf course, in <br />violation of city practices, scaring away wildlife and posing a safety hazard. Abandoned <br />fishing lines can cause damage to golf course equipment. Gene suggested that stricter <br />enforcement is needed, including warning children and notifying parents of inappropriate <br />and potentially dangerous activity. Neighbors have complained, but calls to the golf <br />course staff have not been responded to. Communication needs to be improved. <br />Abby will reach out to golf course general manager and will pass on Gene's contact info. <br />7. Staff Report <br />• Meeting packet contains updates on CIP from Bryan that PPLAB has requested <br />• General Park Maintenance Standards are in continuous review by Parks Staff, <br />supplemented by updated information from quarterly internal reviews. <br />Gene commented that he was very pleased with median restoration on Dillon Road <br />Parks staff have modified median restoration plantings based on experience with <br />McCaslin medians. One issue at the McCaslin medians has been weed seeds <br />blowing in prior to plantings becoming established. Abby noted that sight lines have <br />been improved, and more sustainable plantings have been used. Via Apia median <br />work at McCaslin intersection is coming along, with 80°/o completion so far. <br />September is a good time for planting in the restored medians. Parks is installing <br />hardier plants, with more than 80 new plants on medians on McCaslin, including blue <br />fescue, blue gramma, and ice plants, providing lots of color <br />Bryan has been happier with this latest iteration with medians from Cherry to Dillon <br />road. <br />Mowing on McCaslin and Dillon medians during last year was only needed once a <br />month. With our wet Spring, some additional mowing was required. Our staff - <br />modified small mower with larger wheels has been performing well on the medians <br />with the new plant mixtures. <br />City of Louisville <br />Parks Division 749 Main Street Louisville CO 80027 <br />303.335.4774 (phone) www.LouisvilleCO.gov <br />
