Open Space Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />June 12, 2024 <br />Page 6of6 <br />approval. The county has a burn team that may be able to provide oversight. Note that there <br />needs to be an agreement for an external burn manager before this project can proceed. <br />Currently this is not approved with partners. <br />Discussion about how critical communication will be if we do this. Also, discussion about the <br />important role of fire in most ecosystems. <br />Question — is there another possible area? Ember: not comfortable with any other property. <br />The idea is to target smooth brome, and this proposed area is by far the most distant smooth <br />brome area from homes. <br />Motion by Charles; Second by Mark: The OSAB supports a one to two acre -controlled burn in <br />the Damyanovich open space to study the impact of fire on species diversity in a smooth brome <br />plot. <br />Decision: Unanimously approved. <br />12. 9:10 pm Discussion Items for Next Meeting July 10th, 2024 <br />Possible Topics: <br />A.
