said." "I think they made their mind up before we <br /> got there. The Boulder City Council knows what we <br /> were trying to do. I had the opportunity to speak <br /> with several of them before this even went to the <br /> Board. But its more or less what the Board <br /> decides and thats it.' "I think they understand <br /> what were trying to do to preserve that open <br /> space, but I think the gurus of open space just <br /> said no and that was it.' <br /> Both Sackett and Carnival stated they would still <br /> like to try to make some contact with Boulder City <br /> Council regarding this issue. <br /> Mayor rauson stated that he would refuse to do <br /> that as Mayor of this City. Boulder knows the <br /> facts and Louisville was simply turned down. <br /> Other alternatives will be pursued. <br /> The Open Space Board felt it was incompatible with <br /> open space use even though the tank would be <br /> concealed, Bundley stated. The Boulder Open Space <br /> Board must approve the use before it can even go <br /> to the Boulder City Council. This process of <br /> reviewing open space use requests that are denied <br /> does not allow for the two Council's, Louisville <br /> and Boulder to negotiate directly on this project. <br /> Anderson expressed disappointment stating that <br /> most people view open space as environmental <br /> preservation and the opportunity was presented to <br /> Boulder to preserve that environmental quality <br /> within that corridor between Louisville and <br /> Boulder. This provided a real opportunity for the <br /> City of Louisville to work with Boulder on a <br /> project that was mutually beneficial and <br /> environmentally sound. <br /> Szymanski stated that the primary objective is to <br /> find water storage for Louisville's needs and must <br /> be first and foremost in the consideration of the <br /> cost for providing that storage. Pursuing the <br /> request for placement in Boulder's open space was <br /> a good idea. Louisville can always revert back to <br /> an elevated tower, although Szymanski said he's <br /> "never seen a pretty one, yet.' Unfortunately, <br /> the request didn't work out. However, if there <br /> are other possible sights, Szymanski would like to <br /> see staff explore them. <br /> Mohr agreed with Szymanski stating that the <br /> economics is very important. Mohr stated that the <br /> good faith effort, left Louisville without the <br /> ability to speak 'Council to Council' about the <br /> mutual benefits involved in this request. 'I <br /> T <br />
