Develop OSAB Recommendations to City Council Regarding <br />the Annual Request to Boulder County Parks & Open Space for Trails and <br />Properties <br />Purpose: <br />During the October meeting the board will develop recommendations for City Council review <br />regarding potential partnership opportunities with Boulder County Parks and Open Space <br />(BCPOS) for future open space preservation and trail projects. Examples of mutually beneficial <br />opportunities include regional trail connections, rather than local connections, that benefit the <br />larger County community, land preservation adjacent to existing jointly owned lands, or land <br />preservation that serve as a buffer between communities. <br />Following this memo please find OSAB's 2021 Recommendations to City Council, these <br />recommendations were approved by City Council on May 4, 2021 and the request was <br />submitted to BCPOS. The City has received BCPOS's response to the 2021 request which has <br />been included in the packet for background. Please see page 23-25 of the BCPOS memo which is <br />dated July 26, 2022 for the County response to Louisville's request. <br />Background: <br />Annually, Boulder County invites municipalities, within the County, to submit requests for open <br />space acquisition and trail projects, per Resolution 93-174, paragraph 10: <br />That the Board of County Commissioners will annually consult the City Councils and <br />Town Boards of the municipalities within Boulder County to assure that open space <br />preservation and trail projects identified by municipalities are considered in setting <br />county open space acquisition and trail development priorities for the following year. <br />Information requested is as follows: <br />A. Open Space Requests: Through the efforts of all of our open space programs, we <br />have preserved a lot of open space in Boulder County. What significant parcels <br />remain in your area in order to consider the job done? Please list properties <br />numbered in order of priority, even if you have submitted them in a previous year. <br />14 <br />
