This plan was not approved. OSAB would like feedback from <br />the City Manager as to why this plan was not approved so that revisions <br />can be made. OSAB is requesting that staff provide a copy of the original <br />plan to Tom and that Tom draft and submit a letter to the City Manager’s <br />office. <br /> Enforcement authority – Police Department and Colorado Parks and <br />Wildlife will need to have effective communication and clear roles. <br /> Currently Open Space has a role in coyote education and forwarding <br />information to the Police Department and Colorado Parks and Wildlife <br />when there are concerns.
