Public Comments on Items Not on the Agenda <br />There were no public members attending. <br />6. Staff Updates— Nathan Mosley <br />(See Staff Updates on page 8-11 of the August 2021 OSAB Meeting packet.) <br />A. There were no questions from the board about the Staff Updates in the <br />Packet. <br />B. Nathan announced that the City is going to keep holding board meetings <br />remotely at this time due to increasing Covid-19 infection rates. Nathan explained that <br />part of the thinking for this decision is to make sure public participation isn't being <br />impeded by people feeling unsafe about attending meetings in person. However, the <br />current plan is to have the OSAB van tour of properties happen in person in September <br />and October. <br />C. There is survey work being done for the 104t" Street Trail right now. Staff <br />are hoping to get a grant from Great Outdoors Colorado to help close that gap between <br />the original budget and the current cost estimate for the work (see the July's meeting <br />minutes for detail). The GOCO grant process has changed recently and Nathan outlined <br />the new process for the board. Staff are exploring two other grant funding options as <br />well. David asked whether any grant proposals would have all three landowners on it <br />(Louisville, Lafayette, and Boulder County). Nathan said that Louisville would be the <br />"lead agency," but any grant would be a joint submission between the three landowners. <br />He was optimistic about the grants and thought their funding schedule would be timely <br />for the project. Grant announcements will be made in early 2022. The goal is to have <br />City of Louisville <br />Parks & Recreation Department 749 Main Street Louisville CO 80027 <br />303.335.4735 (phone) 303.335.4738 (fax) www.louisvilleco.gov <br />
