B
With
the
sad
but
occasion
of
saying
goodbye
to
Molly,
I
should
say
that
I
have
a
quite
a
sore
throat
and
I
considered
passing
the
reading
of
the
proclamation
to
someone
else.
But
given
how
often
we
you
have
soldiered
through
adversity,
I
felt
the
least
I
could
do
was
give
it
a
shot
and
be
ready
to
pitch
in
if
I
fail.
B
Molly
has
devoted
countless
hours
to
meeting
with
community
members
staff
and
elected
and
appointed
officials
to
listen
to
facts,
opinions
and
perspectives.
At
times
into
late
night
and
early
morning,
hours,
Molly
can
be
counted
on
to
thoroughly
read
and
research
all
materials
on
all
subjects
that
have
any
possible
relationship
to
open
space
and
mountain
parks.
Molly
has
been
known
to
attend
board
meetings
while
facing
illness
and
injury,
not
allowing
anything
to
interfere
with
her
service
to
the
community.
B
Her
numerous
contributions
include
the
following:
during
Molly's
tenure,
the
open
space
program
has
acquired
nearly
2,000
acres
of
land,
including

T

Advisory
Committee
Molly
has
many
special
gifts
and
expertise
to
offer,
but
the
most
special
may
be
her
passion
for
the
way
art
represents.
Our
experience
and
relationship
with
nature.
B
Molly
has
literally
come
face
to
face
with
the
power
of
Mother
Nature
through
our
open
space
system,
including
an
encounter
with
a
mountain
lion.
She
patiently
waited
with
heart
beating
while
gathering
her
art
supplies
to
fight
back
with
now.
Therefore,
I
Tom
Isaacson,
member
of
the
open
space
Board
of
Trustees
do
hereby
proclaim
that
the
leadership
exhibited
by
Molly
Davis
over
these
past
five
years
has
been
instrumental
to
the
success
of
this
board
and
the
open
space
program
proclaimed
this
14th
day
of
March
in
the
year
2018.
B
Let
me
just
quickly
add
on
a
personal
note,
that
it
has
been
a
great
extraordinary
journey
with
you.
I
know,
for
those
who
are
actively
involved
in
open
space
matters
five
years
ago
you
know
candidly,
some
people
were
saying
who's,
Molly
Davis,
and
we
quickly
found
out
someone
with
the
the
tenacity
of
a
triathlete
and
the
the
sensibility
and
aesthetics
of
an
artist,
and
we've
been
very
fortunate
to
have
you
bring
both
of
those
qualities
to
this
board.
B
You
know,
you've
often
shown
an
extraordinary
willingness
to
dig
into
stuff,
even
some
fairly
dry,
things
like
cost
allocation
in
the
budget
and
always
brought
I
think
a
truly
heartfelt
and
unique
perspective.
That
was
very
much
your
own
and
I.
Think
the
board
in
the
open
space
program
have
been
very
lucky
to
have
you
here,
and
you
know.
We
certainly
wish
you
well.
C
D
A
Guess
it's
my
turn,
but
I
I
want
to
thank
everybody
who
who
has
worked
so
hard
with
open
space,
I'm
just
so
impressed
by
staff
and
so
amazed
at
the
amount
of
work
and
my
board
members
who
always
read
everything
and
we
always
work
on
things
and
even
though
we
differ
at
times,
I
have
tremendous
respect
for
what
you
all
have
done
and
we've
done
together
and
looking
at
us
rebuilding
our
system
since
the
flood.
It's
really
amazing
to
me
what
was
done
by
each
and
every
one
of
you
I'm
just
humbled
by
that.
D
E
A
And
doing
one
to
say
as
amended:
okay,
so
with
the
following
changes
of
people
who
spoke
because
I
know
I
had
given
you
the
pink
slip,
sir.
So
a
few
of
these
names
changed
because
of
that.
So
with
the
changes
to
the
names
of
the
people
in
the
minutes
who
spoke,
I,
put
a
motion
that
we
approve.
The
minutes
of
the
meeting
of
February
14th
do
have
a
second
second,
okay,
all
in
favor.
A
Don't
screw
it
up
what
or
maybe
this
is
many
more
than
once
all
right.
So
we
have
two
three
people.
We're
gonna
speak
for
public
participation
for
items
that
are
not
agenda
and
we
do
have
two
agenda
doesn't
set
yeah.
So
if
you're
coming
to
speak
about
in
yet
the
purchase
approvals
that
will
come
later,
so
kathy-jo
a
nerve.
F
F
My
name
is
Kathy
joiner
again,
I
live
at
4960
koala
Drive
and
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
South
Pole
door.
Creek
Action
Group
I
want
to
thank
the
board
for
its
past
support
in
moving
the
South
Boulder
Creek
flood
mitigation
project
along
over
these
past
several
years.
I
know
you
must
understand
how
grateful
so
many
of
us
are
that
lived
downstream
from
this
point,
whereas
South
Boulder,
Creek
overtopped
from
36,
so
catastrophic
Lee
in
in
2013.
F
We
were
happy
to
hear
that
staff
with
your
approval,
has
now
directed
the
city
consultants
for
the
field
mitigation
project
to
work
on
variations
of
the
preferred
alternative
in
ways
that
could
potentially
enhance
open
space
during
this
concept
evaluation
phase,
we
encourage
that
we're
happy
to
hear
that
and
we're
very
hopeful
that
such
positives
for
open
space
will
become
a
viable
part
of
the
flood
mitigation
solution.
The
thousands
of
us
that
live
in
harm's
I
very
much
appreciate
your
efforts
to
help
get
this
critical
flood
mitigation
project
completed
as
soon
as
possible.
F
E
I'm
speaking
about
the
summary
overview
report
and
the
intent
I
believe
is
and
I
went
to,
the
meeting
on
Monday,
which
was
great,
is
to
ground
the
process
of
the
open
space
in
Mountain
Park
master
plan
and
where
we
go
from
here
over
the
next
18
months.
While
it's
finalized
a
couple
of
points
to
that
end,
the
Colorado
native
plant,
as
a
Colorado
man,
Plant,
Society,
member
and
engaged
citizen
I,
feel
that
there
needs
to
be
more
specific
information
presented
on
Natural
Resources
throughout
the
report.
E
Without
more
specific
resource
information
on
the
plants
and
plant
communities,
existing
data
and
trends.
How
are
how
are
we
supposed
to
provide
thoughtful
questions
to
be
asked
to
the
open
space
and
mountain
park
staff?
The
vegetative
monitoring
program
that
began
in
1990
can
provide
this
baseline
trajectory
of
change
quote-unquote,
in
which
other
management
options
can
be
assessed.
Where
are
the
summaries
of
this
data?
Secondly,
is
there
enough
money
to
manage
and
maintain
the
system?
Chapter
eight
indicates
61%
of
the
open
space
in
mountain
park.
E
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
the
a
Native
Plant
Society
has
volunteered
for
years
helping
with
the
herbarium
and
rare
plant
surveys,
and
we
were
not
mentioned
in
the
summary
overview
report.
Also.
Finally,
visitors
quality
of
experience
seemed
to
be
the
overriding
theme
of
the
S
on
the
SOR.
My
question
is
that
does
that
override
the
community
well
being
mentioned?
Also
in
the
same
line
with
the
SOR?
Does
it
override
the
health
of
the
natural
lands
and
organisms
that
result
we
rely
on
these
lands?
E
Often
visitor
experience
has
negative
impacts
to
the
open
space
in
mountain
park
resources.
Why
are
these
controversial
issues
not
discussed
in
the
SOR?
They
are
present.
They
are
present
and
with
a
new
regional
trail
that
is
being
developed,
will
become
more
urgent.
I
hope
that
the
master
plan
will
address
these
issues
and
with
the
guidance
by
the
excellent
open
space
and
mountain
park
staff.
Thank.
G
Good
evening,
I'm
raymond
bridge
for
35
South,
38th
Street
in
Boulder,
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
1600
members
of
the
Boulder
County
Ottoman
society.
We
would
also
like
very
much
to
thank
Molly
for
her
service,
just
as
another
example
of
her
diligence
when,
when
there
was
a
proposal
to
dispose
of
a
bunch
of
the
paved
trails
that
are
on
open
space,
Molly
went
out
before
the
meeting
walked.
Every
single
one
checked
the
boundaries
and
that's
pretty
typical
of
the
service
she's.
Given
us
the
last
five
years.
G
Back
to
my
topic,
we
urge
the
Board
of
Trustees
to
be
active
in
the
development
of
the
OSM
P
master
plan.
In
particular,
we
urge
you
to
ensure
that
the
department
fulfills
its
core
preservation
role
of
preservation
of
the
wildlife
native
plants
and
ecosystems
that
are
the
heart
of
what
all
Boulder
citizens
treasure
about
our
open
space.
G
There
are
many
s
of
the
system
overview
document
that
are
excellent,
but
it
is
disappointingly
vague
about
wildlife,
plant
communities
and
making
native
ecosystems,
as
well
as
about
the
actions
and
funding
needed
to
preserve
them
for
the
next
50
years.
We
hope
that
the
board
will
ensure
that
ou
SMP
fulfills
its
this
vital
purpose,
which
is
critical
to
all
the
charter
purposes.
In
the
face
of
climate
change,
population
pressure
and
increasing
recreation
and
demand,
we
must
preserve
the
animals
plants
and
ecosystems
that
are
the
foundation
of
our
open
space
and
mountain
parks.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
A
H
Actually
have
a
quick
update
before
we
get
to
the
items
listed,
the
as
many
people
noticed
today
there
was
a
fire
that
started
on
the
open
space
and
mountain
park
system
this
afternoon.
So
I
wanted
to
give
a
little
update
to
everyone
that
at
about
3
p.m.
today,
a
fire
began
near
the
Gregory
Canyon
trailhead
Oh
SMP
rangers
and
fire
crews
responded
immediately
at
5
p.m.
H
the
fire
was
at
3
acres
and
was
30%
contained
I
just
received
a
text
just
as
this
meeting
was
about
to
start
that
the
fire
is
under
control
and
that
the
crews
are
working.
The
night
shift
to
cool
the
perimeter
of
the
fire.
So
that's
all
very
good
news
trails
in
the
area
were
closed
and
they
continue
to
be
closed
until
further
notice.
This
is
to
support
the
firefighters
and
their
efforts.
Boulder
Fire
Rescue
will
be
continuing
to
provide
updates
and,
as
time
goes
on.
H
Currently
there
have
been
no
reports
of
any
serious
injuries
of
visitors
or
people
working
on
the
fire,
and
the
first
responders,
of
course,
are
focused
on
safety
first
and
I'm.
I
really
thank
the
crews.
This
and
everybody
who
is
involved
in
fighting
the
fire
or
putting
the
closures
in
place
and
so
on.
Protecting
the
public
and
our
precious
lands.
I
Good
evening,
mark
Davison
community
connections
and
partnerships
manager
just
before
I
dive
into
the
system
overview
tonight.
I
want
to
do
a
very
brief
update
on
a
conservation
volunteer
project
coming
up.
It
will
be
yeah,
it's
just
coming
up
on
the
screen.
It's
gonna
be
at
shirt,
Acklin,
ranger
cottage
and
it's
gonna
be
do
some
native
plants
teaching
people
about
restoration
than
doing
the
actual
planting
itself.
It
will
be
on
March
28th
from
9
a.m.
to
3
p.m.
and,
if
any
of
the
board
would
like
to
attend
or
participate.
I
I
I
It
is
easy
to
read
document
that
was
one
of
our
goals,
but
it
is
also
a
comprehensive
document
and
it
does
cover
a
broad
range
of
topics
with
the
purpose
of
serving
that
city
charter
purpose
for
open
space.
Initial
feedback
has
been
positive,
actually
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
Curt
brown
board
member
for
the
nice
feedback
we
got
ere,
it
was
very
constructive
and
it's
night
staff
really
felt
that
support,
and
that
is
appreciated.
I
We
do
know
this
room
for
improvement,
of
course,
and
it
is
that's
why
we
have
this
window
of
engagement
and
we
do
really
appreciate
any
public
comment
that
comes
in
will
be
dealt
with
in
two
sort
of
ways:
we'll
have
correct
some
of
the
factual
areas
through
an
addendum
immediately
and
then
any
bigger
issues
that
we
need.
This
is
a
first
for
the
department
we
plan
to
do.
Periodic
updates.
We'll
include
those
sort
of
bigger
issues
that
we
need
to
correct
in
further
updates.
I
As
we
go
down
the
road
before
I
pass
you
over
to
Darren,
though
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
the
effort
and
the
people
and
the
contributions
to
this
document.
It
is
serve
as
a
foundation
for
the
master
plan
and
especially
a
bandwagon.
Our
sitting
here
tonight
she's
the
project
manager.
She
did
an
amazing
job,
coordinating
all
the
contributors
I'd
like
to
mention
Brian
Attica,
hiding
us
back,
writes
our
science
officer
and
honestly
without
him,
the
scientific
knowledge,
along
with
working
with
science
staff,
to
get
that
sort
of
hardcore
information
into
the
plan
was
great.
I
We
know
it
is
an
overview
of
the
system.
There
is
documents
behind
that
plan
that
can
support
it
and
are
available
to
anyone
who
needs
them.
I'd
also
like
to
mention
an
Amanda
Jeter,
who
is
our
consultant
from
design
workshop?
It's
been
a
great
team
effort
and
we
are
actually
integrated.
We're
not
just
asking
the
consultant
go
off
and
bring
something
back,
we're
really
working
as
a
great
team
and
I
think
you
see
that
in
the
content
of
the
report.
I
Thank
you
finally,
I'd
like
to
thank
the
board
and
cancel
especially
the
process
committee
and
the
board
and
council
feeding
into
that
process
committee,
because
that's
guided
us
through
this
process
and
set
this
up
for
success
and
before
I
leave
you
I
would
like
to
mention.
The
icon
would
be
a
miss
to
mention
the
turnout
on
Monday
for
the
open
house.
I
J
Maybe
yes,
so
I
wanted,
as
Mark
mentioned,
to
just
ground
us
in
terms
of
where
we're
at
and
I'll
do
this
briefly,
because
I
do
want
to
focus
our
attention
on
the
report
itself
and
get
your
feedback
on
that
tonight.
But,
as
you
know,
we
opened
our
first
engagement
window
over
a
month
ago
on
January
22nd,
and
we
released
our
report
three
weeks
ago
on
February
21st
and
as
Mike
mentioned,
we
did
have
a
successful
open
house.
J
Molly
regret
not
having
you
there,
but
it
was
a
wonderful
time
and,
as
Mark
said,
we'll
bring
more
information
back
to
you.
We
are
here
tonight
again
to
give
you
just
a
little
bit
of
an
overview
of
the
overview.
We've
had,
hopefully
a
few
weeks
to
spend
time
with
it,
but
we
really
do
want
to
hear
from
you
tonight
and
I
have
a
series
of
questions
at
all
I'll
put
up
at
the
end.
J
It'll
be
a
lot
of
fun.
So
the
just
as
a
reaction.
You
might
have
remembered
this
slide
at
the
study
session
that
we
held
with
you
in
November.
We
were
talking
about
the
development
of
the
focus
areas,
but
just
wanted
to
reiterate
now
that
the
purpose
of
this
first
engagement
window
and
the
release
of
the
system
overview
report
is
to
help
us
develop.
These
focus
areas
for
the
master
plan
and
I'll
talk
to
you
at
the
end
about
how
we'll
get
through
that
in
terms
of
a
stepwise
schedule.
For
that.
J
But
I
just
wanted
to
remind
us
that
that's
that's
the
intentions
that
we'll
use
both
the
community
feedback,
as
well
as
the
conditions
and
future
trends.
Information
in
the
report,
as
well
as
other
inputs
to
develop
these
focus
areas
and
again
just
a
reminder.
He
might
recognize
this
diagram
from
our
project
management
plan.
J
We
organize
the
report
around
the
Charter
purposes
that
the
chapter
titles
are
organized
and
described
in
a
way,
that's
accessible
to
the
public,
but
they
align
with
the
Charter
purpose
ISM.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
represent
all
of
those
Charter
purposes
and
describe
them
as
as
best
we
could
and
evenly
as
we
could
across
those
charter
purposes,
and
so
we
talked,
for
example,
about
our
lands
and
our
funding.
J
And
so
we
start
by
talking
about
the
incredible
legacy
of
acquisitions
that
we
have
over
the
last
hundred
and
twenty
years,
starting
back
in
1898,
and
we
acknowledge
that
there
might
be
as
few
as
five
thousand
remaining
acres
to
acquire
to
complete
what
has
been
previously
described
as
a
complete
open
space
system.
And
in
relation
to
that,
we
also
talked
about
the
inch
in
our
funding
chapter
about
how
88%
of
our
funding
is
supplied
through
sales
tax
increments
and
how
some
of
those
are
set
to
expire
in
the
next
few
years.
J
We
also
talked
about
in
our
natural
resources,
chapter
and
elsewhere,
the
importance
of
biodiversity
and
what
that
means
to
us
now
and
in
the
future,
and
we
talked
about
how
the
system
is
home,
to
about
64
mammal
species
over
a
thousand
plant
species
and
that
we
we
host
here,
twenty
six
percent
of
those
species
that
are
seen
statewide,
which
is
an
incredible
percentage.
Considering
that
we
only
have
about
45,000
acres
throughout
the
whole
state.
J
We
also
talked
for
the
first
time
about
bringing
together
some
comprehensive
mapping
and
planning.
That's
been
done
separately
into
press
plans.
So
when
our
forest
plan
and
our
grassland
plan,
we
came
up
with
conservation
targets.
We
bring
them
together
here
in
this
report,
to
talk
about
them
in
relation
to
each
other,
and
we
talked
about
the
how
we're
doing
in
relation
to
those
conservation
targets
that
we
set
out
for
ourselves.
J
We
also
talked
about
the
active
restoration
projects
that
are
going
on
and,
for
example,
as
it
relates
to
our
grasslands,
wetlands
and
riparian
areas.
We
have
about
500
acres
right
now
that
are
undergoing
those
active
restoration
projects
and
we've
completed
about
75%
of
all
of
the
projects
that
were
called
for
in
our
forest
ecology
plan
and
and
have
treated
about
as
of
2017
about
1,400
acres
of
forest.
J
As
far
as
the
the
work
and
value
that
they
provide
as
there
at
least
a
visitor
enjoyment.
We
talk
not
just
about
levels
of
use,
which
we
do
estimate
now
at
about
six
point,
two
five
visits
annually,
but
we
also
talk
about
the
way
that
the
passive
recreation
use
and
the
ways
that
people
connect
to
nature
are
the
opportunity
to
build
a
community
of
stewardship.
And
we
talk
about
the
way
that
those
opportunities
provide
connections
with
nature
and
ways
to
to
really
fall
in
love
and
protect
the
land.
J
And
so,
for
example,
we
talk
about
the
volunteer
projects
and
the
range
that
we
provide
across
the
system
anywhere
from
the
trails
and
trailhead
projects
that
we
host
a
fair
amount
of
in
our
mountain
parks
area
to
the
range
of
projects
across
our
system,
around
agriculture,
forestry,
restoration,
water,
vegetation
management,
and
so
we
really
are
trying
to
bring
that
into
awareness.
Also.
J
We
end
the
report
with
a
nod
to
the
future
and
who,
wouldn't
you
just
explain
this
in
a
slightly
different
way
by
going
back
to
the
beginning
and
looking
at
one
of
our
first
purchases
and
our
system
around
the
Chautauqua
area,
where,
if
you
can
put
yourselves
in
the
in
the
minds
of
the
community
members
at
the
time,
they
had
particular
aspirations
in
mind
particularly
is
about
why
that
landscape
was
important
to
protect.
And
you
have
to
wonder
whether
or
not
they
anticipated
the
larger
trends.
J
So
next
steps
for
the
report
mark
touched
on
this,
but
just
again
the
comment
window
does
end
on
March
30th
and
then
we
will
publish
addenda
to
correct
any
factual
errors
that
we
have
caught
in
the
report.
The
larger
set
of
suggestions
that
come
in
relation
to
the
report.
We
will
definitely
maintain
so
that
we
can
accommodate
those
in
future
updates
to
the
report
in
May
we're
going
to
release
a
broader
study
about
the
2016-2017
visitor
survey
and
visitation
study
that
has
been
completed,
and
we
recognize
that
additional
data
may
need
to
come
into
play.
J
That's
with
the
full
board
and
council
to
further
refine
and
discuss
those
preliminary
focus
areas
will
then
come
back
to
the
board
in
July
and
ask
for
you
to
formally
recommend
the
revised
and
therefore,
hopefully,
final
focus
areas
to
Council
and
then
finally
ask
council
to
approve
those
focus
areas
in
August,
and
so
that
concludes
my
presentation.
All
of
the
questions
that
I
have
we've
proposed
that
might
frame
your
feedback.
But
again
we
welcome
any
questions
or
comments
to
you.
A
C
I,
don't
have
a
prepared
statement.
I
just
think
it's
an
astonishing
piece
of
work.
I
think
we
will
always
identify
things
that
could
be
added
to
it,
but
I'm
not
sure
we
would
be
able
to
address
those
things
in
this
coherent
way,
not
having
this
document
to
start
from,
because
it
makes
it
possible
to
conceive
of
adding
on
and
in
doing
it
in
a
way
that
can
be
communicated
to
the
public
I
mean
we
can
always
take
reports
and
put
them
on
a
shelf
of
a
scientific
report.
Then
Brian
doesn't
nobody
ever
reads.
C
This
gives
you
a
framework
for
building
on
the
public
discussion.
I
just
think,
that's
wonderful!
This
is
gonna
pay
dividends
for
20
years,
just
the
development.
All
the
consistent
graphics
is
a
fabulous
thing,
because
you've
pulled
out
for
your
presentation.
I
mean
it's
all
there
and
it's
always
something
you
can
build
on
so
anyway.
I'm
just
astonished
at
the
quality
of
it
and
as
I,
say
I
know
folks
will
continue
to
identify,
thinks
we
need
to
add
to
it.
But
it's
an
amazing
piece
of
work
and
I
feel
like
each
time.
I
open
it
up.
C
J
Is
I
will
admit
about
half
of
our
department
that
contributed
to
this?
So
it's
that's.
A
pretty
good
cross-section
and
I
did
I'm.
Sorry
I
also
should
have
mentioned
too
that,
because
we
have
staff
members
in
the
audience
any
particular
questions
you
have.
Hopefully
they
can
also
help
us
answer.
If
you'd
like
to
do
that
tonight,.
B
Sure
so,
first
I
would
echo
what
Kurt
said.
I
also
appreciated
I
would
say
the
tone
of
the
report.
It's
you
know
appropriately
congratulatory,
but
not
I,
think
obsessively
or
self-indulgent
least
I
think
there's
a
lot
to
be
proud
of,
but
there's
a
lot
of
challenges
and
we
don't
want
to
get
so
caught
up
in
self
praise
that
we
lose
sight
of
the
fact,
though,
that
some
real
challenges
to
deal
with
here
as
well
and
I
thought
the
tone
was,
you
know,
kind
of
struck
approximately
the
right
balance.
B
I
thought
you
know
in
some
ways
the
hard
issue
and
it's
the
one
into
something,
since
that
Jackie
was
certainly
hitting
on,
is
and
Kurt
was
talking
about
as
well.
You
know
how
do
you
deal
with
the
right
level
of
detail?
It's
certainly
true
that
on
every
issue
that
this
touches
upon,
one
tends
to
say
well,
but
what
about
this?
And
what
about
this?
B
And
what
about
this-
and
you
know
a
500
page
overview
probably
would
be
less
effective
than
this
one
and
you
had
to
make
a
lot
of
choices
but
at
the
same
time,
I
think
and
I'm.
Just
looking
at
the
hard
copy-
and
it
may
be
that
the
electronic
version
answers
what
I'm
about
to
say
but
I
think
if
this
hasn't
been
done,
one
thing
that
would
be
useful
is
to
have
hyperlinks
whenever
you're
discussing
something
you
know
to
say.
You
know
more
detail
on
the
health
of
this.
B
Particular
habitat
can
be
found
here
and
I
realize
that
itself
can
be
an
enormous
task.
Given
the
number
of
studies
and
plans
that
have
been
done-
and
you
know
there
are
you'll-
have
to
engage
in
some
selectivity
but
I
think
we
have
to
accept
the
fact
that
to
get
from
here
to
some
of
the
more
specific
policy
recommendations,
people
are
going
to
want
to
say,
I
need
to
know
more
about
and
where
X
has
already
been
collecting
somewhere.
If
there's
some
way
of
hyperlinking
this
to
the
right
page,.
K
B
One
thing
that
I
was
left
wanting
to
understand
better
is
the
the
source
of,
and
this
may
all
be
in
the
forthcoming
visitor
report.
But
you
know
one
of
the
things
that
really
jumped
out
at
me
was
the
enormous
growth
in
usage
that
certainly
far
exceeds
the
growth
and
boulders
population
and
I
think
probably
exceeds
the
on
a
percentage
basis.
The
growth
in
population
and
the
more
rounding
areas
which
suggest
there's
a
lot
of
possible
explanations.
B
But
since
a
lot
of
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
figure
out,
what
do
we
think
the
future
is
gonna?
Look
like
understanding
a
little
bit
more
about.
What's
driving
those
trends?
Is
it
you
know
or
whatever
the
whatever
is
driving?
Those
trends
is
important
to
trying
to
figure
out
all
right.
What
do
we?
You
know?
B
What's
our
best
guess
about
what
this
is
going
to
look
like
was
one
area
where
I
thought
to
be
really
helpful
to
have
a
little
bit
deeper
dive,
since
that's
going
to
factor
pretty
heavily
in
a
lot
of
the
strategies
like
I
mean
I'll.
Leave
it
at
that
for
now.
I
do
think
this
is
a
wonderful
dog.
I
also
wanted
to
say:
I
appreciated
the
fact
that,
while
a
lot
of
people
contributed
to
this,
the
The
Voice
is
remarkably
consistent
throughout.
J
J
B
One
more
thing
which
is
there
from
time
to
time
and
there's
been
a
number
of
either
letters
or
editorials
about
this
in
a
daily
camera
over
the
last
6
to
12
months,
is,
is
understanding
what
the
relationship
is
between
open
space
and
them
housing
issues.
Not
that
I
mean
we're
not
responsible
for
the
housing
side
of
the
equation,
but
I.
B
What
would
have
happened
that
we
not
bought
this
property.
You
know
how
many
houses
might
have
been
built
and
I
think
the
answer
is
very
few
and
what
you
know
in
general.
Are
we
looking
at
going
forward
as
I
think
that's
a
significant
misperception,
that's
worth
correcting,
or
if
you
agree
with
the
perception,
then
you
know
so
be
it.
But
my
sense
is
it's
a
largely
a
misperception
about
what
kind
of
acquisitions
we
make
these
days
and
what
would
happen
if
we
didn't
make
them.
K
Yeah
I'll
just
add
that
I
mean
it
is
an
extremely
impressive
report
and
you
know
I've
only
had
a
year
on
this
board
and
there's
still
so
much
for
me
to
learn-
and
this
has
been
an
insanely
helpful
document
for
me
and
so
therefore
I'm
very
hopeful.
There
was
a
missing
Lea
helpful
document
for
the
rest
of
the
camera.
K
It's
speaking
and
building
off
of
the
the
trends
discussion
that
tom
was
saying-
and
this
is
not
trends
in
terms
of
like
the
last
chapter
but
anytime,
there
was
like
a
table
such
as
Table,
five
for
five
point:
four
Steve,
the
grasslands
where's,
like
you
know,
here's
an
attribute,
here's
a
condition,
I
found
myself
wondering
well
when
was
when
has
that
condition
previously
been
evaluated?
How
long
have
we
been
monitoring
these
particular
characteristics?
And
when
are
we
gonna,
be?
K
You
know
I'm
in
my
head
I'm
trying
to
establish
those
trend
lines
for
those
things
as
a
way
to
evaluate
how
we're
doing
and
I
was
that
that
context
wasn't
jumping
out
at
me
easily,
so
I
wanted
to
provide
that
feedback
and
then
I
think
it
might
be
worth
calling
out
on
each
of
the
snapshots.
So
you
know
the
first
page
Barry
chapter,
which
particular
plans
in
the
department
are
most
relevant
in
that
topic
area.
K
So,
as
you
go
through
reading
the
text,
you
know
it's
like
and
see
the
visitor
master
plan
from
for
more
detail
and
see
this
plan,
but
you
could
just
call
it
out
on
the
snapshot.
I
think
that
that's
another
way
to
demonstrate
that
there's
very
important
side
boards,
if
you
will
grounding
a
lot
of
the
discussion,
will
be
having
under
the
master
plan
and
I.
Pretty
much
will
love
having
this
on
my
bedside
table,
because
I
read
a
little
bit
more
of
it
everyday.
A
So
chime
in
and
Mirek
on
what
everybody
said
you
get
really
great
input
on
that
I
felt
like
I,
wanted
to
see
a
little
bit
more
specifics
on
the
cultural
resources
inventory
review
I
just
felt
like
it
was
a
little
bit
vague
and
I
wanted
to
see
that
maybe
little
more
expansion,
because
I
was
looking
for
more
specifics
on
the
conditions
of
the
buildings
on
a
glance
and
things
like
that
and
I
realized
that
that's
a
good
jump
off
for
the
master
plan.
You
know,
and
these
things
can
be
more
expensive
in
there.
A
But
I
was
noting
what
Jackie
remain
like.
What
her
comments
to
it
did
feel
to
me,
like
some
of
the
ecosystems
could
be
expanded
on
as
well,
and
it
does
concern
me
that
a
primary
contributor,
like
the
Native
Plant
Society,
wouldn't
have
gotten
it
in
here.
So
I'm
sure
that
was
a
minor
oversight
remedy
and
then,
when
you
asked
which
topics
or
aspects
of
the
report,
I
seemed
especially
important
to
me
would
be
the
long-term
planning
and
the
financial
aspects
of
the
long-term
banding
where's.
My
big
ones
always
cost
allocation.
A
A
C
H
H
Nick
next
up
as
an
update-
and
we
thought
this
was
especially
appropriate
for
Molly's
last
meeting-
is
the
flood
recovery,
update
and
Jim
reader
is
providing
this
update,
and
one
thing
I
would
add,
is
Jim's
getting
ready
and
in
further
appreciation
of
Molly's
service.
Is
that
really
Molly
service
didn't
start
with
the
board?
Molly's
been
a
part
of
the
system
for
the
I
think
three
decades
and
I
think
she
visited
the
Boulder
Valley
farm
30
years
ago
with
staff
and
was
part
of
the
board
for
that
purchase.
So
what
a
wonderful
chapter
to
close
there.
L
L
I'm
gonna
talk
about
trails
basically
tonight,
but
I
wanted
to
give
you
this
update
or
information.
Also
on
the
other
types
of
damage.
It
wasn't
just
trails
that
were
damaged,
as
you
know,
and
you
can
see
the
dollar
amounts
there.
Obviously
trails
is
the
big
one
and,
as
we
go
through,
these
I
want
you
to
keep
in
mind
that
we
had
to
when.
When
we
did
the
recovery,
the
repair
work
we
had
to
take
historic,
protect
our
historical
features,
our
cultural
features.
L
We
wanted
to
maintain
the
character
and
will
point
out
some
of
those
things
here
and
in
addition
to
that,
we
wanted
to
protect
the
natural
resources
and
you'll
note
that
there's
a
lack
of
Natural
Resources
really
on
that
damaged
list,
it's
not
because
they
weren't
damaged.
We
feel
that
their
natural
resources
were
damaged
into
the
millions
of
dollars,
but
they
aren't
FEMA.
Reimbursable
FEMA
doesn't
even
reimburse
for
those.
So
but
this
the
picture,
there's
of
Flatirons
Vista,
you
can
see
some
of
the
damages.
As
the
water
came
across
that
particular
trailhead.
L
You
will
probably
remember
this
map
this
one's
dated
March
of
14
about
six
months.
Afterwards,
you
can
see
that
23
of
our
trail
heads
were
damaged
and
ninety
trails
were
damaged
either
slight
significant
or
severe.
Are
the
green
red
and
yellow
colors
on
that
map?
The
purple
are
the
undamaged
ones,
so
you
can
see
was
fairly
significant
across
the
system
and
what
I'm
gonna
do
now
is
go
through
several
different
types
of
damage
we
have.
Is
this
isn't
by
no
means
complete?
Look
at
all
of
our
trails.
L
We
obviously
don't
have
time
for
that
tonight,
but
well
we
had
trails
like
Toki,
where
the
water
got
on
the
trail
and
basically
created
a
gully
and
where
we
backed
up
where
we
could.
Oh,
we
rerouted
trails
like
that
other
issues,
the
Royal
Arts
trail.
Obviously,
a
bigger
drainage,
lot
more
water,
bringing
white
rocks
trees.
L
All
that
sort
of
thing
down
there
really
basically
wiped
out
the
trail
crossing.
At
that
point,
we
replaced
it
one
very
similar,
but
a
little
bit
differences,
shadow,
Canyon
Trail,
where
again
it
came
down,
wiped
out
the
trail
and
we
went
in
and
put
in
some
steps.
Not
all
the
damage
was
caused
by
water
running
down
the
trail.
We
had
several
places
where
we
had
landslides
done
debris
slides.
This
is
at
Sanitas,
where
the
landslide
came
down
and
basically
got
on
to
the
trail.
This
is
a
little
close-up.
L
Look
of
that
trail,
how
it
looked
and
how
it
looks
today
on
down
the
trail
that
Sanitas
where's
Silver
Lake
crosses
the
ditch
or
crosses
the
the
trail.
What
it
looked
like
that
day
and
what
it
looks
like
today,
the
road
to
Green,
Mountain,
Lodge,
basically,
water
got
on
that
road
and
it
wasn't
Road.
We
also
had
a
trail,
certainly
served
as
a
trail,
but
basically
that
became
the
creek
and
instead
of
trying
to
force
water
back
where
it
didn't
want
to
be.
We
moved
the
trail
up
the
hill
and
rerouted
it
there
you've
seen.
L
These
pictures
of
Chapman
did
want
to
point
out
that
one
of
the
issues
was
getting
water
off
of
trails,
and
particularly
that
trail,
and
you
can
see
some
of
the
the
stonework
that
we
did
in
order
to
maintain
the
character
of
that
CCC
trail
so
another
one
that
we
had
an
issue
with
wasn't
with
Chautauqua.
You
know
you
can
see
here
were
the
water
and
the
mud
I,
don't
know
what
that
is
5060
feet
wide
and
obviously
we
couldn't
live
with
that.
So
we
did
a
major
repair
at
that.
L
There
is
some
reroute
of
that
particular
trail
with
a
unique
innovative.
We
think
treatment
for
the
trail
surface
last
time
I
was
added,
is
holding
up.
Pretty
good.
I
haven't
checked
it
recently,
but
we
hope
that
it
does
hold
up
pretty
well
for
us.
While
we
were
working
on
it.
On
that
trail,
we
also
decided
to
put
in
a
couple
of
badly
needed
gathering
areas
viewing
areas.
These
were
not
FEMA
reimbursable
because
they
weren't
there
before,
but
we
felt
that
it
was
worth
putting.
L
Those
in
another
trail
issue
was
some
of
these
trails
that
we
have
on
end
car,
the
Barrett
connector
that
one
we
would
not
have
put
back
there.
We
would
have
rerouted
it
if
it
weren't
on
a
federal
land
being
on
federal
land.
The
process
is
pretty
complex
to
get
that
moved,
and
so,
instead
of
doing
that,
we
harden
it.
Reinforce
that
trail
in
its
footprint.
L
Here
and
on
bear
Canyon
notice
that
most
of
them,
probably
all
of
you,
know
that
the
culvert
that
was
in
that
crossing
washed
out
and
we
replaced
it
with
a
larger
culvert.
Many
of
the
things
that
we
of
the
structures
actual
structures
that
we
put
back,
you
will
note
our
larger
than
the
ones
that
came
out
and
that's
because
the
ones
that
were
in
there
before
came
out
couldn't
handle
the
water
no
sense,
putting
something
back.
That's
not
going
to
handle
it
in
many
cases,
depending
on
where
it
was.
L
We
couldn't
get
a
permit
to
do
that
anyway,
so
we
had
to
adjust
the
size,
and
so
we
did
put
in
the
larger
overt
and
the
stonework
there.
Next
to
the
bat
pool-
and
we
got
received
some
recommendations
from
board
members
on
how
to
deal
with
that,
and
so
we
will
be
making
a
change
the
materials
on
order
and
I
think
the
work
is
scheduled
to
be
done
this
this
month.
L
So
another
project
where
we
got
some
asked
for
and
got
some
recommendations
from
the
board
was
on
this
concrete
bridge
where
we
could
have
put
in
a
very
large
bridge,
and
we
understood
the
reasoning
and
we
think
quite
honestly,
some
of
us
at
least
being
one
of
them,
think
that
we
ended
up
with
a
much
better
project
and
I
really
like
that
one.
So
we
appreciate
that
that
input,
the
new
drought
doughty
and
draw
bridges
it's
the
dowdy
draw,
not
the
drawbridge
and
another
situation
is
a
little
different.
L
The
south
polar
Creek
Trail
in
that
location
we
had
to
four
or
five
foot
diameter
culverts,
concrete
culverts
before
the
flood.
They
were
always
giving
us
trouble
in
the
spring
high
water.
They
would
catch
debris
and
in
my
time
that
I've
been
here,
which
isn't
all
that
long
I
know
there's
at
least
twice
where
it
held
the
water
back,
wasn't
really
a
flood.
It
was
just
high
water,
all
the
water
back,
so
much
that
it
did
in
fact
go
across
South
Laurel
Creek
during
the
flood.
L
Devil's
Thumb
is
the
other
place
where
a
small
bridge
washed
out
and
we
replaced
it
with
a
larger
bridge
this,
where
you
can
see
that
Gregory,
which
I
hope
that
bridge
didn't
burn
today,
the
Somali
bridge
that
would
have
washed
out
and
then
the
new
bridge
that
we
we
put
in
there.
So
that's
a
brief
look
at
some
of
the
projects
we've
done.
What
what's
left
to
do?
L
We
have
the
South
foothills
trail
repair,
which
is
just
north
of
London
Lake,
that
work
started
last
week,
we've
pegged
it
the
contractors
baked
it
as
a
three
week
project.
So
we
hope
that
it's
done
within
the
next
two
or
three
weeks
and
the
other
one
is
the
Bear
Creek
Canyon
trail,
while
that
trail,
if
you
hike
it,
it
looks
to
be
done
and
it
is
but
there's
a
section
of
about
two
to
three
hundred
feet
that
need
to
be
rerouted
again,
that
is
federal
land.
L
So
we
have
to
get
the
permits
and,
and
that
sort
of
thing
and
we're
working
on
that,
but
at
some
point
we
will
be
rerouting
that
trail
because
it
right
now
the
trail
goes
through
a
wetland
mitigation
land.
So
we'll
have
to
get
that
done,
and
the
other
thing
is
the
closeout
reporting.
We
have
to
do
that.
L
Currently,
we
have
one
full
time
person
that
open-space
working
on
closeout
paperwork
with
a
couple
of
of
our
financial
folks,
doing
part-time
work
and
we're
working
with
a
couple
of
folks
at
city
finance
with
all
those
folks
in
place
and
working
on
it.
We
still
think
it'll
take
about
a
year
to
do
that
work.
This
gives
you
just
a
couple
of
brief,
looks
at
the
type
of
information
that
we
have
to
put
together.
L
L
You
know
shortly
in
the
four-mile
Canyon
Creek
Bridge,
one
more
FEMA
project
that's
eligible
is
the
East
Boulder
White
Rocks
bridge,
that
is
for
a
different
flood,
so
we
had
a
different
little
schedule
for
that,
so
we're
not
up
against
the
the
deadline
on
that
one
and
with
that
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
comment
I
would
like
to
make
before
we
go
to
questions.
Is
that
you
know
from
my
standpoint,
I'm
I'm
really
kind
of
grateful
that
I
was
working
for
open
space
when
this
happened.
L
It
is
a
I
hope,
once-in-a-lifetime
experience,
but
it
was,
it
did
create
a
lot
of
work.
It
was
challenging
work
and
in
the
process
we
had
to
defer
a
lot
of
the
well
everything,
basically
that
we've
been
planning
for
the
last
four
years
and
we've
kind
of
let
those
things
go
and
we're
now
getting
back
to
that.
But
it
gave
me
a
much
better
idea
of
the
power
of
nature
and
and
what
it
can
do
and
how
much
we
need
to
work
with
nature
rather
than
try
and
fight
nature.
B
Know
that
you
said
this
isn't
part
of
the
2013
flood,
and
so
the
timeline
for
getting
the
work
done
in
the
East
Boulder
thing
is
is
different,
but
I'm
curious
to
know.
You
know
where
that
is
since
obviously
that
trail
is
effectively
what's
effectively
closed
or
you
can't,
you
can't
get
very
far
until
the
bridge
yeah.
It
gets
replaced
right.
L
Yeah,
basically,
first
of
all,
we've
never
we
haven't
focused
on
that
bridge
until
about
the
last
year,
because
it
was
just
a
lower
priority
because
of
the
15
flood,
but
we've
been
going
back
and
forth
with
the
county
and
the
city
on
permits.
We
think
we're
to
the
point
where
we're
going
to
be
able
to
get
a
permit
real
quickly
and
our
hope
at
this
point,
and
we
really
think
this
will
happen.
Is
that
we'll
get
that
done?
You
get
the
bridge
repaired
before
high
water
this
spring?
L
A
A
Cuz
I
think
there's
been
so
much
input
from
you
know
the
public
of
you
know
what
you're
still
working
on
the
flood,
and
you
know
it
had
a
huge
impact
to
everything
and
systemically
you
know
had
just
in
one
locale,
but
you
know
it
branched
other
trails,
but
it's
amazing
to
look
at
how
much
has
been
done
by
staff
in
a
short
amount
of
time,
because
a
lot
of
these
are
really
big
engineering
feats
to
solve
and
design
and
implicate
implement.
So
thank
you
first,
thank
you
for
bringing
it,
but
thank
you
for
the
work.
L
Bet
and
I
will
have
to
credit
the
whole
staff
I
mean
the
day
after
the
flood.
Everybody
went
out
and
teams
to
assess
the
damage
across
the
system,
and
so
there
isn't
anybody
who
was
on
staff
at
that
point
who
didn't
get
involved
and
from
that
point
on
more
or
less
everybody
was
still
involved
and
I
really
want
to
credit
the
volunteer
staff,
because
we
were
inundated
with
volunteers
and
it
took
a
lot
of
work
just
to
organize
that
effort
and
they
worked
on
a
lot
of
different
things.
L
I
want
to
credit
our
ecological
staff
who,
like
I,
say,
had
their
own
issues
to
deal
with
million
dollars
worth
the
damage
to
natural
resources,
but
but
we
from
a
trail
standpoint
we're
calling
on
them
to
help
us
get
these
permits
to,
and
they
were
very
helpful
and
without
them
wouldn't
have
accomplished
half
of
what
we
done.
So
it
was
a
truly
a
department
effort.
It's.
A
K
L
Actually,
but
but
first
of
all,
one
of
the
things
that
we
learned
is
is
that
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we
size
things
adequately
and
in
the
past
I.
Don't
know
that
we've,
you
know
often
times
done
any
study
or
any
engineering
on
those
and
and
with
Kelly
waterblock
on
staff
now
or
an
engineer,
we're
making
sure
that
that
happens.
Obviously,
with
the
bridges
you
know,
we've
replaced
four
bridges
in
the
last
four
years
that
I
thought
I
even
thought
we
had
on.
L
Okay,
so
those
are
the
basic
things
and
not
not
really
rocket
science
or
anything
like
that.
It's
just
that
those
things
when,
when
this
system
went
in
weren't
high
on
the
list
high
on
the
list
was
getting
from
here
to
there
we
have
trails
like
the
connector
in
car,
a
bare
connector
that
are
fräulein,
and
we
would
not
put
that
there
today.
We
have
to
deal
with
it,
but
you
know
if
we
look
at
the
trails
that
had
been.
L
K
And
in
that
context,
as
flood
recovery
projects,
we're
done
like
this
was
an
example
where
the
trail
was
determined
to
stay
in
the
same
place,
but
you
engineered
the
hell
out
of
it
to
make
sure
the
water
wasn't
run
on
the
trail
again
and
then.
In
other
context,
it
was
appropriate
to
reroute
correct,
correct.
Okay,
all
right
yeah,
thanks
I,
just.
C
Say
I
get
a
lot
of
comments
from
the
public
about
how
beautiful
the
work
is
and
how
impressed
they
are.
So,
just
generally
speaking,
I
don't
expect
you
to
get
out
your
dollars
and
cents.
Are
we
still
pretty
comfortable
with
where
things
are
going
with
FEMA
and
reimbursement
in
that
whole
process?
Yeah.
L
We
won't
know
until
we
close
out
and
submit
basically
our
bill,
but
the
you
know
Joel
Wagner
at
the
city
is
working.
Basically,
that's
one
point.
He
was
meeting
at
least
weekly
with
the
state
folks
and
the
way
this
works
is
we
we
submit
to
the
state
they
approve
it
or
not,
and
then
they
send
it
on
to
FEMA,
and
so
he
was
meeting
with
the
state
folks
every
week
and
got
a.
K
L
Good
working
relationship,
we
think
we're
gonna,
be
in
good
shape.
We
think
we
understand
what
needs
to
be
done
and
we're
doing
that,
and
so
we
won't
get
reimbursed
for
everything
that
we've
done.
We
knew
that
up
front
like
the
features
there
on
Chautauqua,
but
I
think
we'll
be
likely
to
get
reimbursed
for
ninety
ninety-five
percent
of
what
we
think
we
should
and
what
FEMA
thinks
we
should
I
mean
as
far
as
you
know,
their.
L
L
D
M
Really
hard-
and
you
might
have
heard
she
had
a
little
bit
of
scratchy
throat-
siano
ended
up
trying
to
recover
from
a
cold
but
open
house
and
opens
word
meeting.
She
didn't
get
to
go
to
the
the
happy
hour
last
night
for
one
of
our
engagement
group,
so
I
think
a
follow
up,
because
I
was
at
the
process
community
meeting
in
and
thank
goodness
really,
if
we
have
some.
Yes,
we
had
some
public
comment
from
Karen
and
Ray
with
suggestions
about
access
to
the
system,
overview
report
and
information
asking
people
to
find
it.
M
Let
us
now
they
found
out
about
the
survey
opportunity
and
we
spent
some
time
talking
about
this
system
overview
report
itself
that
had
been
released.
There
was
some
question
about
making
sure
people
could
find
the
master
plan
process
on
the
open
space
home
page
of
our
website.
So
we've
addressed
that
that's
been
taken
care
of.
M
We've
we've
had
similar
experience
to
our
other
planning
efforts
here
at
open
space
and
mountain
parks
and
we'll
be
working
with
Amanda
and
the
sub
consultants
working
with
design
workshop
to
assist
us
in
that
effort.
Take
a
first
run
at
it,
as
Darren
described
it's
kind
of
important
for
the
process
committee
to
clarify
that
we're
not
really
voting.
M
So
we're
really
just
trying
to
identify
what
are
what
are
the
issues
that
are
out
there
and
pull
them
together
into
similar
categories,
and
there
was
a
desire
to
have
that
process
available
and
explained
before
everything
was
done.
So
there
was
some
transparency
and
we're
certainly
committed
to
that.
Well,
I
think
kind
of
the
general
focus
we
introduced
the
fact
about
the
open
house
and
the
a
Mahina
event
and
invited
the
process
committee
Thank,
You
Kurt.
M
C
Mark
I'd
tail
end
on
that,
since
I
think
some
of
us
in
the
process
committee
were
the
ones
that
suggested
we
have
an
open
house
and
that's
that's
the
hard
part
you
know
as
to
make
the
suggestion
and
then
I
just
want
to
commend
the
staff
and
everybody
that
put
that
event
on
it
was
extraordinary.
I
thought
I
may
be
open.
C
Space
doesn't
Saul
the
time,
but
I
thought
it
was
a
remarkable
recruiting
of
staff
who
know
about
all
these
different
chapters
in
areas
and
I
just
heard
so
many
interesting
conversations
between
the
public
and
the
staff
for
three
hours.
I
mean
people
stayed
and
had
a
lot
of
conversations.
So
my
thanks.
It
was
a
lot
of
fun
to
be
at
it.
M
Nice
and
we,
we
certainly
did
have
a
lot
of
that
I
know.
I,
know
that
myself
and
other
staff
members
were
kind
of
glad
for
those
breaks.
Where
were
you
and
Tom,
and
Aaron
and
Mary
were
there
to
welcome
people
because
he
gave
us
a
chance
to
sit
down
for
a
second.
This
is
talking
for
an
hour
and
a
half
without
even
noticing
that
had
gone
on
that
long
yeah.
C
B
There
were
two
scheduling
issues
I
wanted
to
touch
upon.
One
was
the
next
process.
Committee
meeting
got
moved
a
week
back,
so
it
normally
would
be
the
last
Wednesday
of
March,
where
we
moved
it
to
the
first
Wednesday
of
April
because
of
spring
break.
So
just
for
those
who
are
interested
in
attending
I
got
moved,
April,
fourth
yeah
and
then
the
other,
which
was
a
more
substantive
discussion,
was
that
we,
the
proposal,
was
put
forward.
B
Have
the
focus
areas,
sort
of
set
by
August
and
I,
know
I
and
I
think
others
shared
the
concern
that
whether
that's
a
good
idea
depends
a
lot
on
how
robust
the
focus
areas
are.
If
the
focus
areas
are
just.
You
know
like
one
or
two
or
three
words,
sort
of
topics
that
that
is
probably
too
leisurely
a
schedule,
because
we
only
have
a
year
really
to
get
from
there
till
the
plant
has
done.
B
Conversely,
if
the
focus
areas
are
pretty
robust,
descriptions
of
you
know,
what's
the
real
guts
of
the
issue,
then
maybe
getting
them
done
by
August.
Isn't
even
that
I'm
I
would
say,
I'm
still
concerned
that
that's
too
leisurely
I'm,
not
sure
we
fully
have
set
any
sort
of
different
schedule,
but
I
think
there
was
some
sense
that
we
need
to
sort
of
link
those
two
concepts
of
what
is
the
schedule
for
the
focus
areas
in
relationship
to
how
ambitious
is
the
work
product?
M
So
we
did
commit
to
bring
to
the
process
control
kind
of
a
mock-up
of
what
some
of
the
information
you
know
about.
A
focus
area
would
look
like
kind
of
laid
out
that
April
was
really
the
time
that
we
needed
to
do.
The
analysis
of
the
information
that
we
received
during
the
the
first
engagement
window,
and
then
May
was
our
opportunity
to
you
know,
provide
those
updates
to
the
open
space
for
process.
Community
City
Council
get
some
feedback
on
that
scheduling.
M
A
joint
study
session
has
some
issues
associated
with
council
and
availability
and
to
some
degree
board
availability.
So
that
was
a
desire
line
to
have
that
and
then
to
have
a
recommendation,
a
formal
recommendation
from
the
board
to
Council.
We
proposed
that
for
the
following
month,
July
and
then
August
would
be
the
the
timeline
for
council
approval,
so
some
of
that
has
to
do
with
just
the
way
that
the
calendar
works
so
but
I
think
there
will
be
substantive
material
developed
these
focus
areas
as
well,
but
I
think
we'll
hear
more.
H
H
A
But
you
know
my
thoughts
that
they
had
at
the
time
were
to
get
a
broader
view
and
a
bigger
perspective
and
give
more
opportunity,
which
I
think
is
certainly
a
good,
because
you
know
it
is
difficult
with
the
small
board
to
have
you
know,
light
I
have
been
put
and
it
seems
coming
go.
You
know
one
way
or
another
at
each
appointment
and
if
there
were
multiple
appointments
that
might
give
us
a
broader
her
context.
B
I
mean
I
certainly
have
heard
this
bandied
about
a
fair
amount
and
I
think
one
just
to
give
the
history
I
think
one
objective
was
exactly
what
Molly
said:
the
more
people
you
have
the
wider.
You
know
in
theory
the
wider
range
of
opinions
you
can
have
represented.
I've
heard
some
council
members
expressed
the
view
that
if
you
have
more
people,
it
takes
a
little
bit
of
the
pressure
off
of
any
given
appointment.
I
I'm,
not
so
sure
I
mean
if
the
board
is
hypothetical
III.
B
You
know,
however,
you
whatever
dynamics
you
perceive,
if
you
think
it's
three
three,
it's
still
the
next
one
has
every
bit
as
much
impact
and,
of
course,
if
you
have
seven
then
two
out
of
every
five
years,
you
have
to
appoint
two
people
and
I'm.
Not.
You
know,
I,
think
that
whether
that
is
strikes
me
that
that's
arguably
in
a
sort
of
a
higher
impact
situation
than
or
Europe
every
year,
you're
pointing
one
out
of
five,
but
that
is
at
least
you
know.
B
One
of
the
arguments
that
gets
advanced
I'll
just
mean
my
own
two
cents.
Is
that
yeah?
There's?
No
doubt
if
you
had
more
people,
you
can
have
more
points
of
view.
I
do
think
that
you
know,
from
my
perspective,
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
fit
that
you
know
a
little
bit.
Is
it
it's
not
broke,
don't
fix
it
and
I
think
the
board
actually
functions
quite
well.
For
the
most
part.
You
know
every
time
we
do
a
planning
process,
we've
been
through
a
lot
of
them.
B
We're
always
start
with
you
know
the
Charter
is
a
sideboard.
You
can't
touch
the
Charter
and
there's
some
logic,
I.
Think
to
that
to
saying
we
don't
want
to
kind
of
visit
charter
documents
unless
there's
some
really
compelling
rationale,
why
we
should
be
going
all
the
way
back
to
the
founding
documents,
and
you
know
the
composition.
B
The
board
itself
is
a
charter
is
in
the
Charter,
so
I
think
to
my
point
of
view,
if
you're
going
to
put
something
before
the
voters
and
all
that
entails
in
terms
of
asking
them
to
really
think
about
this
issue,
and
how
do
you
want
this
to,
you
know
be
done
going
forward?
We
ought
to
have
a
compelling
rationale
and
I'm,
not
sure
you
know
that
exists.
I
do
I,
do
find
one
of
the
virtues
of
a
five-person
board.
B
Is
that
I
think
every
person
really
feels
like
I'm
speaking
for
myself,
there's
only
five
of
us
there's
planning
a
time
for
each
person
to
really
robustly
express
their
point
of
view.
You
know
I,
don't
I
think
as
boards
get
larger
and
you
know
I
don't
know
if
this
is
necessarily
true
of
seven,
but
in
general,
as
boards
get
larger,
there
is
less
of
that
individual
speaking
and
boards
become
more
factions.
B
You
know
there's
two
or
three
people
who
have
a
point
of
view
and
they
you
know,
maybe
one
of
them
sort
of
speaks
to
that
point
of
view.
You
know
I
think
there's
a
real
trade-off
there.
That
I
think
you
know.
Potentially
you
start
to
lose
that
if
you
want
as
boards
get
larger,
so
I
think
there's
pros
and
cons
I
at
least
don't
don't
feel
like
this
board
suffers
from
from
points
of
view.
So
that's
my
two
cents.
K
My
sense
is
that
you
don't
get
a
divert,
a
greater
diversity
of
expertise
or
opinions
just
by
adding
more
people,
and
if
the
council
were
so
driven
to
suggest
that
we
needed
seven
members
on
the
board,
it
might
feel
appropriate
to
have
some
of
those
members
be
have
specific
roles.
The
member
a
needs
to
be
an
ecologist
member
B
needs
to
be
a
recreation
specialist.
Something
like
that.
There
is
precedent
for
that.
K
In
other
city
boards,
yeah,
like
Boulder
Junction,
there
has
to
be
a
couple
of
residents
or
Water
Resources,
Board
I
think
there
has
to
be
an
engineer.
There's
design,
Advisory
Board
there
has
to
be
an
architect
or
something
you
know
so.
There's
definitely
precedents
for
having
roles
be
part
of
the
board
composition.
I
have
concerns
about
a
board
that
grows
too
large.
Simply
from
an
operational
perspective.
I
know
that
our
County
County
counterparts,
the
PO
sac,
is
a
nine-member
board
and
woke,
and
some
of
those
meetings
dragged
on.
Oh
my
goodness.
K
So,
if
there's
already
proclivity
for
a
lot
of
robust
discussion
in
this
board
at
a
five-member
board,
going
to
seven
may
expand
that
unreasonably
I.
Don't
think
that
the
public
adequately
appreciates,
or
maybe
even
counsel,
how
much
staff
time
goes
into
informing
each
of
us
behind
the
scenes
and
to
expect
that
staff
burden
to
grow
proportionally
with
the
addition
of
two
more
members.
I
think
that
that
definitely
should
be
taken
into
account.
C
Yeah
I,
don't
think
I
have
a
strong
view
on
it.
I
think
my
view
coming
on
to
the
board,
just
because
of
what
the
board
had
been
through.
There
seemed
to
be
some
rationale
to
going
to
seven,
but
I
agree
about
the
diffusion
of
responsibility
issue
that
you
can,
in
particular,
if
there
were
nine
and
I
I'm,
not
sure
we
would
all
take
every
issue
as
seriously
as
we
take
now
to
some
extent,
I'd
I
do
think
this
is
a
council
decision
and
it's
about
diversity.
A
Thought
it
was
just
freeing
up
and
mentioned
to
you.
I
had
a
meeting
with
staff
a
couple
days
ago.
I
don't
know
if
anything
gonna
come
of
it,
but
because
we
have
so
many
memorial
opportunities
that
are
coming
up
in
the
future.
I
had
a
concept
to
come
up
with
a
legacy
trail,
a
part
of
a
trail
that
we
could
dedicate
just
a
founders
or
as
a
memorial
that
you
know
would
be
something
that's
handicapped
accessible
where
we
could
put
rocks
and
things
something
it.
A
We
had
a
discussion
about
it,
that's
gonna
kind
of
come
back
and
I
think
a
little
bit
of
input
is
gonna
be
given,
but
I
figured
I
would
put
it
out
there
and
if
it
comes
forward,
you'll
know
what
the
idea
was,
but
it
does
feel
like.
We
get
a
lot
of
requests
for
benches
and
things
like
that,
relatively
few
pull
outs
that
we
can
really
dedicate.
It
seems
like
it
could
make
some
sense
to
have
a
dedicated
section
of
a
trail
that
could
be
used
for
educational
purposes.
A
B
C
B
N
And
that
is
because,
as
we
are
going
from
developing
into
a
mature
open
space
system,
are
the
bulk
of
a
lot
of
our
work
is,
is
concentrating
on
how
we
can
fill
in
the
system
as
opposed
to
growing
the
system
out.
So
that
is
sort
of
a
natural
evolution
of
a
system
as
it
matures
and
certainly
tonight
the
two
projects
that
you'll
be
considering.
You
know
fit
that
bill
and
both
Luke
and
Bethany
as
they
present
their
projects
will
describe.
N
You
know
you
know
how
they
are
in
Holdings
as
the
case
of
the
Stangl
pond
or
if
there
have
large,
common,
open
space
connections,
as
with
a
case
with
the
four
chambers
and
the
poor
man
acquisition
project.
But
the
other
stories
being
told
tonight
is
also
the
one
of
persistence
and
patience
as
Luke
McKay
will
soon
I
view.
N
The
staying
pond
is
a
small
piece
of
property
that
the
city
was
unable
to
acquire
when
it
negotiated
the
purchase
of
all
the
surrounding
lands,
and
that
was
over
35
years
ago
and
in
the
case
of
the
four
chambers
Poorman
property
that
Bethany
Collins
will
describe.
Staff
has
long
viewed
this
property
as
a
high
priority
for
adding
to
the
system's
open
space
system,
but
circumstances
have
only
recently
coalesced
to
allow
us
the
opportunity
to
move
forward
with
a
successful
negotiation
in
that
case.
N
So
well,
one
of
the
really
interesting
aspects
of
being
involved
in
real
estate,
especially
real
estate
here
with
the
department,
is
that
while
you
need
to
be
prepared
to
act
quickly,
certainly
when
circumstances
dictate
that
that
more
often
than
not,
it's
really
patience
and
perseverance.
That
is
called
for
and
really
case
in
point
with
both
the
Stangl
pond
and
the
chambers
and
for
Poorman
projects
that
you're
going
to
see
tonight
so
I
just
sort
of
wanted
to
set
that
stage
that
some
of
the
acquisitions
that
come
before
you
may
seem
new.
N
O
So
the
single
pond
property
is
a
one
acre
in
holding
of
the
three
hundred
and
six
acres
Stangl
open
space
property
located
south
of
El
Dorado
Springs
drive
and
the
Doughty
draw
trailhead.
The
property
consists
primarily
of
a
man-made
pond,
surrounded
by
mixed
grass,
prairie
and
riparian
shrub
lands
and
as
part
of
the
B
vcp
acquisition
area.
In
the
open
space
in
Mountain,
Park
acquisition,
update
plan.
O
It's
also
worth
mentioning
that,
given
the
properties
proximity
to
the
doughty
draw
trail,
the
acquisition
of
thus
in
holding
will
enable
OS
MP
to
better
ensure
the
protection
of
scenic
resources
and
visitor
experiences
along
the
Dottie
draw
trail
and
I
promised
you
a
short.
Therefore,
staff
is
requesting
that
the
open
space
board
trustees
recommend
that
Boulder
City.
Sorry
staff
is
request
that
the
open
space
board
trustees
recommend
to
Boulder
City
Council
to
approve
the
purchase
of
approximately
one
acre
of
land
and
the
impertinent
water
and
mineral
rights
located
south.
O
O
Currently,
you
know
privately-owned,
so
I
think
that's
one
of
the
reasons
that
it
hasn't
been
surveyed
by
the
department's
ecological
staff,
but
given
the
fact,
given
the
features
of
the
pond
its
size,
the
fact
that
it
is
ephemeral
and
the
northern
leopard
frog
activity
that
has
been
monitored
by
staff
and
the
vicinity
of
this
property,
our
ecologists
are
pretty
confident
that
the
pond
does
provide
habitat
for
actively
provides
habitat
for
northern
leopard
frogs.
Okay.
K
I
move
that
the
open
space
Board
of
Trustees
recommend
that
the
Boulder
City
Council
approved
the
purchase
of
approximately
one
acre
of
land
and
the
pertinent
mineral
and
water
rights
located
south
of

eldorado
springs,
drive
from
gene
and
sting
goal
for
$5,000
or
open

and
mountain
parks
purposes.
K
N
P
Item
is
a
request
for
recommendation
to
approve
the
purchase
of
the
four
chambers.
Poor
farm,
open
space
property
I'd
like
to
take
a
little
bit
of
time,
probably
a
little
longer
than
Luke
to
present
some
photos
in
detail.
What
makes
this
proposed
acquisition
so
special
and
a
few
of
you
were
lucky
enough
to
visit
the
property
and
see
its
unique
values
and
purpose
in
person.
P
All
right
as
a
quick
overview,
the
proposed
acquisition
is
the
four
chambers
poor
farm
property
recognizable
from
north
63rd
Street
by
the
Red
Queen
Anne
style
farmhouse.
It
is
a
hundred
and
ten
acres
or
110
acre
agricultural,
complex
featuring
among
other
exceptional
attributes,
important
soils,
portions
of
four
ponds
and
a
small
amount
of
Boulder
Creek
frontage.
The
5.2
million
dollar
purchase
price
will
include
the
residences
and
agricultural
infrastructure
associated
with
the
farm,
as
well
as
significant
water
rights
and
all
of
the
mineral.
P
Additionally,
a
large
portion
of
the
farm
falls
in
the
Boulder
Creek,
floodplain
and
flood
way,
and
a
major
city
sewer
line.
Bisecting
the
property
suffered
major
damage
during
the
2013
flood
protection
and
management
of
the
floodplain
through
acquisition
could
help
the
city
better,
protect
this
asset,
as
well
as
other
human
infrastructure
and
important
natural
resources.
On
and
downstream
of
this
property.
P
The
property's
size,
water
resources
and
adjacent
to
each
other
conserve
lands
provide
an
ideal
context
for
landscape-scale
habitat
management
and
preservation
of
its
valuable
ecological
resources.
The
reclaimed,
gravel
ponds
and
cottonwood
stands
support,
fish
communities,
migrating
waterfowl
and
divert
songbird
populations
painted
turtles
and
great
and
nesting.
Great
horned
owls
have
also
been
observed
on
the
property.
P
Despite
being
an
active
agricultural
operation,
the
farm
boasts
important,
Natural,
Area
attributes
as
well,
and
it's
adjacent
to
the
confluence
Creek
Natural
Area,
which
is
managed
for
floodplain
and
riparian
wetland
habitats
and
as
an
important
stream
connection
between
environmental
conservation
areas
in
the
boulder
county
comprehensive
plan.
The
reclaimed,
gravel
ponds
in
this
area
also
provide
a
unique
plants,
Plains
marsh
environment
that
supports
a
wide
variety
of
insects,
birds,
mammals,
fish
and
amphibians.
P
Moving
on
to
Thakur
cultural
significance,
as
the
map
shows,
the
four
chambers
port
charm,
port
farm
property
includes
agricultural
fields
designated
as
farmland
of
statewide
and
local
importance.
Additionally,
the
soils
and
irrigation
flows
could
allow
implementation
of
some
of
the
department's
agricultural
plan
goals
such
as
diversified
vegetable
production.
The
farm
is
actively
used
for
cattle
grazing
and
alfalfa
hay
production
and
also
includes
agricultural
improvements
and
well-maintained
irrigation,
laterals
and
infrastructure,
which
allow
the
agricultural
operation
to
continue
without
interruption
upon
acquisition.
P
As
previously
detailed,
the
property
was
homestead
in
1862
by
George
Chambers,
who
built
the
first
portion
of
the
main
house
around
that
same
time,
which
I
have
previously
incorrectly
told
you
was
1875,
it
was
actually
around
1862
and
the
farm
is
also
the
presumed
location
of
four
chambers
constructed
in
1864,
with
some
additions
and
adaptations
to
the
main
house,
some
that
were
later
demolished
and
construction
of
a
rare
water
system.
The
property
served
as
a
boulder
County
poor
farm
from
1902
to
1919.
P
The
property,
size,
location
and
water
features
also
make
it
appealing
for
public
access
and
potential
passive
recreation
opportunities,
including
hiking
biking
and
bird-watching.
Additionally,
the
ponds
have
historically
been
privately
fished
for
bass
and
bluegill,
and
the
planned
confluence
area.
Multi-Use
paths
excuse
me
and
potential
RTD
Valmont
Erie
regional
trail
could
provide
future
public
access
opportunities
upon
acquisition.
Careful
management
considerations
will
be
made
to
balance
public
use
with
the
ongoing
agricultural
operations
and
protection
of
the
sensitive
environmental
resources.
P
Properties
located
in
area
3
of
the
Boulder
Valley
comprehensive
plan
and
is
zoned
rural
residential,
which
reflects
the
intended
low
density,
natural
area,
open
space
and
agricultural
type
land
uses
to
encourage
spatial
definition
buffer
to
the
more
intensive
residential
developments
which
you
can
see,
north
and
south
of
this
property
and
priorities
to
preserve
the
area's
agricultural
heritage.
Additionally,
because
of
its
size
and
location
in
area,
three
of
the
BBC
P,
the
farm
is
specifically
identified
in
the
2013
OS
MP
acquisition
plan
plans,
BBC
P
priority
Karia.
P
Upon
acquisition,
the
property
will
remain
closed
to
the
public
until
resource
assessment
and
management
recommendations
are
developed
during
osm
Pease
property
integration
process.
During
this
time,
OS
MP
staff
will
more
closely
evaluate
the
resource,
management
and
infrastructure
needs
of
the
farm,
as
well
as
potential
partnerships
with
historic
preservation
organizations.
It
is
anticipating
the
interim
and,
if
possible,
the
property
will
be
leased
to
agricultural
tenants
to
provide
continuity,
continuity
of
maintenance
and
the
agricultural
operation.
P
So
I've
put
on
the
screen
the
staff
recommendation.
I
won't
read
it
because
it
will
also
be
in
your
motion,
hopefully
but
I'm
happy
to
answer
questions
and
Geneva
ferrara.
Who
is
the
daughter
of
Mary
Wells
this
and
represents
the
cellars
is
also
here.
If
you
have
any
questions
or
want
to
check
with
her
at
all.
P
P
You
know
the
county
used
to
basically
put
people
in
boarding
houses
indigent
and
and
Popper
as
they
described
them
into
boarding
houses,
and
they
made
a
resolution
to
find
places
to
be
a
place
to
be
able
to
put
these,
and
this
was
actually
the
second
one
in
the
county.
They
sold
the
first
and
purchased
this
one,
and
so
it
yeah.
It
definitely
has
a
really
great
history.
P
B
P
So
there
has
no,
there
have
been
no
mineral
Severinsen,
the
in
the
chain
of
title
on
this
property,
so
we
are
getting
all
the
minerals
the
water
rights
are
so
so
what's
not
listed
here
is
typical
ground
water
rights,
which
and
and
the
domestic
well,
but
we
don't.
You
know
that
doesn't
typically
have
a
value
associated
with
it.
That
is
a
pertinent
and
does
come
with
the
property.
Thank
you
sure
are.
P
Are
not,
they
did
reinforce
that
and
repair
it,
but
there
is
a
future
city
project
that
I
know
of
to
basically
install
a
new
sewer
line,
a
new
main
sewer
line
that
may
or
may
not.
There
are
several
alignments
that
you
know
are
again
it's
just
in
conceptual
design
at
this
point
that
I
do
believe.
One
conceptual
alignment
may
follow
basically
side
by
side
to
the
current
one,
but
and
again
I'm
kind
of
going
back
to
one
map
I
saw
months
ago,
but
there
I
think.
H
P
A
A
Also
I
had
was,
with
the
proximity
to
Sahil
ponds.
We're
gonna
probably
have
a
lot
of
dogs
and
things
so
I
just
want
to
avoid
any
of
our
conflict.
Problems
like
we
have
that
bvr,
given
that
we're
gonna
be
putting
agricultural
tenants
in
that
situation,
Nicki,
and
so
when
we
start
looking
at
use.
Some
things
said
I
just
like
to
put
the
caveat
since
I
won't
be
around
that.
We
keep
that
in
mind.
So
we
don't-
and
you
know,
with
other
properties
that
have
cattle
conflicts,
cattle
and
on
Molly.
P
B
Just
to
be
make
sure
I
understand
after
this
acquisition
and
then
there's
some
money
that
has
been
appropriated
but
not
spent,
I
presume
for
Boulder,
Valley,
Farms
and
I.
Don't
know
if
suits
has
been
closed
yet,
but
that's
the
11.25.
That's
then
so,
after
all,
those
are
done.
We'll
have
11.5
million
left
for
2018
acquisitions
yeah
in
our.
N
Land,
what
we
call
our
real
estate
acquisition
CIP,
however
embedded
in
that
is
some
money
that
is
being
earmarked
for
campus
relocation
activity.
So
if
you
subtract
that
out,
we'll
have
roughly
about
seven
and
a
half
million
dollars
left
in
our
what
would
be
considered
acquisition
dollars
that
we
would
that
we
would
have
available
to
us
for
for
this
year.
So
that
includes
past
year's
carry
over
plus
this
year,
CIP
allocation
and
we're
anticipating
a
new
allocation
in
2019
as
well.
