styO <br />Louisville <br />COLORADO • SING ] 878 <br />o LSAB: Review town directives in relation to landscaping and mowing for <br />guidance. <br />o PPLAB: Median project — if this project moves forward, will want to move <br />forward with elimination of turf in medians (reduce mowing, irrigation, etc.) <br />o PPLAB: Discussion around obtaining landscape improvement funds to move <br />towards sustainable landscaping. Move away from old models around "mow, <br />spray and blow" maintenance. Demonstration/Pilot projects may be helpful. <br />Discussion around Arboretum and current process/improvements. <br />• LSAB Updates <br />o Discussion around city climate action tax; City Council asked the Sustainability <br />Committee to gather more information. Residential and Business surveys <br />created to gauge interest. Surveys went out recently; results in progress. <br />o Katie Baum, city council liaison to Sustainability Committee has been working on <br />City's greenhouse gas footprint reduction, spending from potential tax. <br />• Sloyd Experience: Letter to PPLAB to discuss park open space service fees <br />7. Park Scorecard Progress <br />• Ellen: Overall parks assigned were in very good shape. <br />o Annette -Brand Park may be over -watered. <br />o Pocket Parks: discussion around large amount of turf in pocket parks, large <br />number of thistle. Discuss maintenance of turf that is never used. <br />o Cleo Mudrock also has a lot of thistle in turf; however, turf is needed at this park <br />for specific athletic use. <br />o Signs are needed for every park. Many signs (ex. Cleo Mudrock near the school) <br />are in disrepair. Sign improvements are currently in the budget but plans to <br />improve/install are unclear. <br />o Signs especially needed for 'pocket parks' as some are not universally known as <br />city parks. <br />o Heritage Park: Bathroom gets a lot of use. City contracted with a janitorial <br />service to maintain; however janitorial service is having staffing issues. <br />o Par course: equipment at Hammer Run Park needs maintenance. <br />o Weed control: generally good, aside from thistle in the turf <br />• PPLAB to continue with scorecards: 1-5 scoring with comments.
