Open Space Advisory Board Minutes August 11, 2021 Page 4 of 4 David asked about parcel ZZ.1 and asked why it didn't reach priority status. Nathan said he thought it was an energy easement. He suggested that if anyone wanted to see a location then staff might be able to add it to the tour. Nathan said he'd follow up about the ZZ.1 parcel. David wanted to err on the side of including properties, citing the example of the land on the bend at Cherry Street that sold without open space consideration since it was not on the OSAB list. David asked about deadlines for parcel inclusion. Nathan said since it was likely to be a two -month tour, so any parcel that didn't make the September visit, could be added for October. Peter made a motion to evaluate the 2019 "higher and lower" priority parcels, with the exception of the A and C properties. Laura seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Nathan said that staff will arrange for a van for the group. Anyone uncomfortable riding in the van can follow in their private car, as can any member of the public. Since it is a public meeting, discussions should be limited to clarifications, and not be deliberative. David asked if there would be a public -facing discussion of the properties after the tour. Peter and Helen said that discussion would be at the regular November meeting. Laura suggested starting the tours early so before it gets dark. David pointed out that the sun will set by 6:30 in mid -October. The board agreed it could start as early as 4:30. Helen asked whether the city could ask people in the van for their vaccination status. Nathan said there would be a masking requirement, but he wasn't sure about city's policy about asking about vaccination status. 10.
