IC Cityoj <br />Im Louisville <br />COLORADO • SINCE 1878 <br />VI. Public comments on Items Not on the Agenda: <br />Sherry Summer expressed her concerns to the Board, <br />noting the removal of many trees in town, but not a lot <br />being replaced. Another concern is that the City doesn't <br />have a tree inventory. She would like to see the City <br />make this more of a priority and asked how this might <br />be done. Dean explained the budget is going towards <br />staff time mostly spent with safety -related work on <br />existing trees with a lack of staff for planting trees. The <br />Board agreed this is an area that will need to be <br />addressed. Especially with the potential removal of so <br />many ash trees in relation to EAB. <br />VII. Median Renovation Landscape Design Conceptual <br />Options Discussion: The Board's recommendation to <br />Council will be to maintain the existing concrete <br />aggregate with repair as needed. Upgrade existing <br />irrigation systems as needed to better maintain turf. <br />Replace turf over time with a low water use turf. As ash <br />trees are removed, replace with more of a variety of <br />trees that can be better maintained and low water use <br />turf. This turf would also replace shrub plantings for <br />lower water use, less herbicide use and less staff time <br />for maintenance. The end noses of the medians would <br />have large planters with colorful seasonal plantings. <br />Some of these could potentially be replaced over time <br />with public art elements as budgeting allows. The roses <br />and plantings in the median on South Boulder Road <br />would remain with repair as needed. <br />VIII. Key Performance Indicators Update and <br />Discussion: PPLAB is being asked to evaluate more <br />things now and the Board will need to be aware of the <br />timeline associated with these items so they can be <br />added earlier in the year to our agendas for discussion. <br />IX. Scorecard Discussion: Scorecards are a part of the <br />KPI. Changes the Board will consider making to the <br />scorecards include categorizing parks by size/use, <br />PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT • 749 MAIN STREET • LOUISVILLE, CO 80027 <br />(303) 335-4735 • FAX (303) 335-4738 <br />www.Iouisvilleco.gov <br />3 <br />PARKS RECREATION SENIOR SERVICES OPEN SPACE FORESTRY TRAILS GOLF <br />
