Well,
beginning,
the
first
item
is
approval
of
minutes.
B
D
These
have
not
been
previously
discussed
by
opens
the
open
space
board
of
trustees,
and
we
believe
that
you
should
consider
them
and
provide
advice
to
City
Council.
First,
the
map
in
the
Transportation
Study
Commission
by
planning
staff
from
Fox
Tuttle
Hernandez
on
page
10,
showing
multimodal
transportation
improvements,
shows
a
connection.
Labeled
include
connections
to
south
boulder
creek
trail
crossing
east
directly
across
wetlands
purchased.
This
open
space
for
millions
of
dollars
for
important
ecological
reasons
and
included
in
the
State
Natural
Area,
for
which
OS
NP
and
the
trustees
are
responsible.
D
The
same
connection
has
subsequently
been
showed
on
sea
use.
Draft
master
plan
released
to
the
public.
In
other
words,
the
connection
is
shown
it
shown
is
proliferating
in
a
set
of
documents
that
are
in
danger
of
being
codified.
The
open
space
implications
are
serious.
The
root
causes
important
wetlands
that
include
habitats
for
federally
endangered
species
and
county
and
state
identified
critical
species
in
habitats.
In
addition,
it
seems
contradictory
to
expect
users
to
go
from
the
off
leash
off
trail
situation
on
the
Cu
South
property
to
the
on
trail.
D
No
dogged,
South,
Boulder,
Creek
Trail,
the
South
Boulder
Creek
Trail,
is
one
of
the
few
new
dog
trails
in
the
system
designated
after
a
long
and
contentious
public
process.
The
issues
associated
with
such
a
connection
are
important
and
are
your
jurisdiction.
We
believe
that
it
is
critical
that
ou
SBT
communicate
with
City
Council
and
the
Planning
Board.
The
trailheads
and
trail
connections
must
follow
normal
OS,
NP
review
and
o
SBT
approval
contractors
for
the
city
need
to
be
instructed
that
there
are
important
restrictions
on
any
impacts
on
our
open
space.
D
E
So,
while
they're
back
at
the
drawing
board,
it's
probably
a
good
time
for
the
Board
of
Trustees
to
really
reassess
acquisition
of
the
open
space
other
portion
outside,
and
it
may
relieve
the
developers
from
the
burden
of
dealing
with
or
not
the
unstable
hillside
in
order
to
build
the
thing
that
they
have.
So
the
issue
is
that
this
is
right
down
at
the
bottom
of
the
acquisition
list
and
it
really
needs
to
be
lifted
up
to
a
point
where
it's
considered
fairly
seriously.
E
Now
we
do
understand
that
staff
are
looking
into
the
possibilities
of
how
that
site
could
be
used
and
certain
some
members
of
our
group
of
meeting
with
one
of
the
staff
members
I
believe
next
week
to
find
out
more
about
what
the
current
thinking
is.
But
we
think
that
that
site
is
a
valuable
asset
to
the
open
space,
particularly
there's
15,000
square
feet
in
the
nurse's
dormitory
that
has
been
used
in
the
past
for
office.
E
Space
and
I
know
that
in
your
current
budget,
you've
got
a
huge
amount
of
increase
of
office
space
plans,
so
that
would
be
a
real
natural
support:
the
open
space
people
right,
close
and
Inter
with
the
open
space
itself.
The
other
thing
is,
we
got
this
urban
wildland
interface
and
that's
another
good
reason
to
really
make
that
a
strong
separation
between
our
town
and
our
open
space.
So
we're
very
glad
to
see
that
this
summer,
more
counters
have
been
put
in
place.
E
You
may
have
heard
from
me
monotonous
ly,
saying
what
we
are
seeing:
a
very
large
increase
in
the
use
of
open
space
and
therefore
it's
really
important
for
us
to
count
it
well.
Putting
counters
it
may
be
five
years
before
we
say
the
slope
is
very,
very
high
and
we
we
have
major
problems,
but
at
least
putting
the
counters
in
place
today
is
in
a
positive,
a
positive
step
forward.
So,
and
the
last
point
is
that
our
concern
is
for
the
open
space
parking
and
that's
a
neighborhood
concern
a
very
large
proportions.
E
This
past
few
months,
we
have
seen
more
and
more
use
of
the
open
space
area
by
the
public
and
Wigan,
all
sorts
of
neighborhood,
minor,
fracas
problems
occurring
and
so
on.
So
I
just
implore
you
to
move
forward
the
rest
of
the
piece
of
paper
I've
given
you
is
just
a
recap
of
my
suggestions
that
maybe,
if
open
space
takes
the
lead
and
acquires
a
portion
the
site,
maybe
the
city
could
take
the
lead
and
relieve
the
developers
with
the
difficulty
of
trying
to
build
something
on
a
steep
hillside.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
H
I'm
Erika
Pilcher
I'm,
the
recreation
and
cultural
stewardship
supervise
for
open
space
in
mountain
parks
and
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
Deon
Vander
booty.
She
couldn't
make
it
this
evening.
She's
the
human
dimensions
supervisor
and
she's
been
working
closely
with
Aaron
Aaron
Caldwell
is
a
senior
researcher
and
project
manager
for
the
National
Research
Center.
She
enjoys
working
with
local
governments
to
bring
the
voice
of
the
public
into
decision-making
and
Aaron
managed
the
2010
and
the
2016
residents
survey
for
open
space
and
mountain
parks,
and
thanks
so
much
for
being
here
this
evening.
H
The
results
of
this
survey
are
really
going
to
help
open
space,
understand
community
values
and
trends
over
time,
and
it
informs
open
space
about
options
for
providing
high
quality
visitor
experiences
so,
along
with
a
variety
of
other
informational
inputs,
the
the
data
from
this
survey
will
help
tell
us
a
story
about
the
perceptions
that
residents
have
of
open
space
and
it
can
be
used
to
support
our
upcoming
master
plan,
other
departmental
projects
and
also
just
inform
us
on
ongoing
operations.
So
thanks
Aaron.
G
Right
so
Erika
gave
a
little
bit
of
this
background,
but
this
surveys
actually
been
conducted
since
1992
and
it's
a
primary
opportunity
to
collect
information
from
that
general
population,
about
their
perceptions
of
open
space
of
mountain
parks
and
how
they
use
it
and
interact
with
open
space
in
mountain
parks.
And
the
plan
is
that
this
survey
will
continue
B
to
be
done
on
a
five-year
interval
moving
forward
as
part
of
that
visitor
master
plan,
implementation.
G
So,
as
Erika
already
said,
you
know
one
of
the
reasons
for
doing
this
surveys
to
gauge
that
community
perceptions
about
open
space
of
mountain
parks
tract
the
demographic
and
visitation
trends,
and
it
will
contribute
to
the
master
plan
and
ongoing
operations.
It's
just
one
piece
of
data
among
others
that
are
used.
G
G
We
use
Survey,
Research
best
practices
and
designing
and
implementing
the
survey,
and
we
had
three
contacts
with
each
of
the
households
that
were
selected.
We
start
out
with
a
pre
notification
postcard
and
then
we
had
two
waves
of
the
survey,
so
that
was
a
cover
letter
signed
by
Tracy
and
then
five
pages
of
questions
with
a
postage-paid
return
envelope.
People
could
return
that
in
and
there
was
also
a
URL
with
a
paragraph
explaining
that
those
who
read
Spanish
could
go
online
and
complete
the
survey
in
Spanish
if
they
desired.
G
We
saw
that
at
least
a
couple.
People
went
to
the
website,
but
nobody
actually
completed
the
survey
in
Spanish
at
this
time,
which
is
not
untypical
for
these
kinds
of
surveys.
So
we
had
582
completed
responses,
that's
a
21
percent
response
rate
and
that
then
equates
into
a
margin
of
error.
You've
probably
heard
that
term
a
lot
around
election
polling
of
plus
or
minus
4
percent,
and
that's
just
a
way
of
saying
that
if
we
did
the
survey
95
of
a
hundred
times
in
the
same
way,
we'd
find
a
result.
G
G
Is
we
compare
the
demographic
profile
from
the
census
or
something
else
to
the
demographic
profile
of
our
respondents
and
then
make
adjustments
as
necessary,
and
one
of
the
adjustments
we
always
have
to
make
not
just
in
Boulder
but
everywhere,
is
that
younger
people
are
much
less
likely
to
respond
to
a
survey
than
our
old
people.
So
we
sort
of
give
more
weight
to
the
responses
from
the
younger
people
and
less
weight
to
those
from
the
older
people.
G
So
these
little
graphs
here
kind
of
showing
you
that
the
the
first
bar
shows
the
Census
norm
so
say
for
those
18
to
34
year-olds.
That
makes
up
about
almost
half
of
the
population
makes
sense
where
to
college
town,
but
we
only
got
among
our
respondents.
18
percent
were
18
to
34,
so
we
gave
them
more
way
to
make
them
again
similar
to
the
demographic
profile.
Likewise,
older
people
are
more
likely
to
respond
to
our
survey,
so
we
gave
them
less
weight.
It's
one
of
those
survey,
research,
best
practices.
G
So
the
topics
that
we
included
on
the
survey
were
asking
people
about
what
they
thought
was.
The
purpose
of
open
space
in
mountain
parks,
their
evaluation
of
it.
How
frequently
they
visit
open
space
in
mountain
parks
areas,
the
types
of
activities
in
which
they
engage,
the
value
they
place
on
open
space
in
mountain
parks
and
how
they
get
their
information.
G
G
This
kind
of
shows
the
changes
over
time
since
the
last
survey,
so
there's
been
a
pretty
big
increase
in
the
number
of
comments
that
were
sort
of
related
to
that
aesthetic
purposes
of
open
space
and
mountain
parks.
Recreation.
Didn't
change
much,
but
it
used
to
be
the
number
one
choice
and
now
aesthetic
purposes
has
moved
into
sort
of
that
top
priority
about.
20
percent
said
that
they
thought
preserving
wildlife
and
habitat
was
the
number
one
priority
and
we
had
12
percent
who
said
sort
of
growth
management.
Was
that
top
priority?
G
G
Over
time
we
also
asked
those
completing
the
survey
to
rate
specific
named
items
related
to
the
land
uses
and
purposes
for
open
space
and
mountain
parks.
So
this
was
a
list
and
they
could
rate
each
one
rather
than
just
responding
in
their
own
words
the
items
that
they
rate.
It
came
from
the
open
space,
mountain
parks
charter,
and
so
you
can
see
here
that
the
top
purposes
we
saw
in
the
open-ended
responses
are
still
here,
they're
similar.
G
So
people
think
it's
very
important
or
somewhat
important
to
preserve
the
scenic
areas
of
vistas
or
those
unusual,
unique
or
unique
natural
areas
or
preserving
fragile
ecosystems.
But
we
see
that
8
and
10
do
think
that
still
open
space
and
mountain
parks
does
have
a
role
to
play
in
shaping
development
of
the
community
and
limiting
sprawl.
So
that's
still
important.
It's
just
not
any
longer
like
that
top
of
mind
or
respondents.
G
G
We
asked
how
frequently
respondents
visited
open
space
in
mountain
parks
areas
and
in
what
activities
they
engage
when
visiting.
Nearly
everyone
has
visited
an
open
space
in
mountain
parks
area
about
one
in
ten.
Respondents
said
that
they
visit
open
space
in
mountain
parks,
areas
every
day
and
three
and
ten
visit
at
least
twice
a
week.
This
was
actually
a
little
lower
than
what
we've
observed
in
previous
surveys.
G
However,
our
former
surveys
were
conducted
with
registered
voters
by
phone,
and
so
it
might
be
that
registered
voters
are
a
little
more
active
than
the
general
population
that
we
got
with
this
survey,
and
it
could
also
be
an
interviewer
effect.
We
know
that
sometimes,
even
though
you
know
the
interviewer
does
not
care
what
your
responses
are
to
the
survey,
there's
still
an
effect
that
people
might
give
a
slightly
different
answer.
When
they're
responding
to
an
interviewer,
then
self
administering
a
survey.
G
So
nearly
all
respondents
reported
having
hiked
or
walked
in
open
space,
Mountain
Park
areas
and
36
percent
had
walked
a
dog.
Sixty
percent
said
they
had
visited
open
space
in
mountain
parks,
areas
to
observe
nature
or
wildlife.
A
forty
four
percent
had
gone
running
and
thirty
five
percent
had
biked
an
open
space
in
mountain
parks
areas.
We
had
30
percent,
who
said
they
had
picnicked
in
these
areas.
G
Nearly
all
said,
the
quality
of
their
experiences
at
open
space
in
mountain
parks
areas
were
excellent,
very
good
or
good,
and
looking
over
time,
we
converted
the
evaluations
to
an
average
rating
on
point
scale,
because
there's
been
some
changes
in
that
scale
over
time,
and
we
see
that
it's
similar,
but
maybe
a
slight
decline
seen
in
2016
and
again,
that's
probably
because
of
that
change
in
mode
survey.
Research
has
shown,
and
our
own
surveys
have
shown
that
when
again,
if
you
have
an
interviewer
administered
survey,
people
are
more
positive
than
when
it's
self
administered.
G
We
were
also
asked
survey
respondents
how
often
they
used
various
visitor
facilities
and
services
and
how
they
would
rate
the
importance
and
the
quality
of
those
amenities.
This
slide
is
showing
the
most
frequently
used
facilities
from
those
included
on
the
survey,
and
we
found
that
in
general,
the
greater
the
proportion
of
respondents
who
said
they'd
use
the
facility
of
service,
the
higher
importance
rating
they
gave
to
it
and
then
also
the
higher
quality
rating.
G
So
I'm
going
to
show
you
this
graph
and
I.
Don't
expect
you
to
be
able
to
read
this
very
well,
but
here
we
plotted
the
quality
and
importance
of
these
items.
So,
as
you
move
from
left
to
right,
that's
showing
higher
quality
as
you
go
further
to
the
left
to
the
right
and
then,
as
you
go
from
the
bottom,
to
the
top
that's
highest
importance,
and
so
you
can
kind
of
see
they
do
mostly
fall.
Sort
of
on
that
line.
G
That's
saying
more
important,
also
higher
quality
in
general
I'm,
going
to
zoom
in
on
one
of
these
quadrants.
This
is
that
quadrant
in
the
upper
left-hand
corner
that
showed
our
upper
right
hand.
That
shows
those
amenities
that
were
considered
higher
importance
and
given
high
quality
ratings.
So
these
are
the
ones
where
you
know.
People
think
these
are
important
and
you're
doing
a
good
job,
so
this
kudos,
so
that
would
be
trails,
directional
trail
signs,
trash
or
recycling,
bins
and
trailhead
information
boards.
G
But
now,
if
I
kind
of
slide
over-
and
this
is
the
upper
left-
hand
corner-
and
so
this
shows
the
items
that
were
also
considered
of
high
importance
but
had
a
little
lower
quality
rating.
So
you
can
sort
of
see
the
dashed
line
is
right
there.
It
wasn't
that
these
got
really
atrocious.
Quality
ratings
are
very
close
to
that
line,
but
if
you
wanted
to
think
about
things
that
are
important
to
people
that
are
getting
little
lower
quality
ratings,
these
might
be
ones
to
focus
on.
G
So
that's
vehicle
parking
dog
stations
and
restrooms
all
respondents
for
to
what
extent
they
thought
various
recreational
activities
negatively
impacted
plants
and
wildlife
on
open
space
and
mountain
parks,
lands
and
I
do
want
to
emphasize.
These
are
the
perceived
impacts,
this
isn't
monitored,
but
this
is
what
people
thought
the
activities
most
likely
to
be
perceived
as
having
those
impacts
were
off
leash
dogs,
horseback
riding
and
biking,
and
this
is
showing
the
percent
that
thought
each
of
those
had
a
severe
a
major
or
moderate
impact,
and
so
it
wasn't
really.
G
So
we
followed
up
by
asking
what
participants
would
think
about
the
acceptability
of
various
management
actions
that
could
be
taken
to
protect
plants
and
wildlife.
Ninety-Eight
percent
said
that
increasing
education
and
outreach
would
be
completely
somewhat
or
somewhat
acceptable,
or
they
were
neutral
about
its
all
notice.
Nobody
was
opposed
to
the
idea
of
increasing
education
and
outreach,
I
mean
nine
and
ten
thought
it
would
be
acceptable
or
that
they
were
neutral
about
closing
trails,
closing
areas
seasonally
to
protect
wildlife,
requiring
visitors,
to
stay
on
designated
trails
and
enforcing
existing
regulations
more
vigorously.
G
So
if
these
actions
were
taken,
there
wouldn't
be
very
many
people
who
would
be
opposed
to
these
actions.
However,
there
were
couple
where
there
was
more
opposition,
so
only
thirty,
six
percent
thought
that
it
would
be
acceptable
or
they
were
neutral
about
developing
a
permit
or
reservation
system
for
peak
use
times
or
areas.
So
that
means
we
have
almost
3/4
about
two-thirds
of
people.
That
would
think
that
was
unacceptable
and
we
have
about
three-quarters,
who
think
it
would
be
unacceptable
to
charge
fees
to
access
open
space
at
peak
times.
G
We
also
gathered
residents
perceptions
about
how
pleasant
or
unpleasant
they
felt
their
interactions
were
with
other
open
space
and
mountain
parks,
visitors,
almost
no
one,
rated
their
interactions
with
hikers
or
with
open
space
and
mountain
park
staff
as
unpleasant.
Nearly
everyone
also
considered
their
interactions
with
runners,
Unleashed
or
horseback
riders
as
Pleasant
or
at
least
neutral.
That
was
about
nine
and
ten
about
eight
and
ten
said
that
their
actions
were
very
pleasant,
Pleasant
or
neutral
with
bikers
and
dogs
off
leash.
G
So
that
means
we
had
about
two
and
ten
who
said
that
their
interactions
with
these
types
of
visitors
were
unpleasant
and
again
we
followed
up
by
asking
how
acceptable
people
would
find
different
management
actions
that
could
be
taken
to
address
visitor
conflict.
And
again
we
see
almost
everybody's
in
favor
of
increasing
education
and
outreach
requiring
visitors
to
stay
on
the
designated
trails,
nine
and
ten.
We
thought
it
would
be
acceptable,
or
at
least
they
were
neutral
about
requiring
dogs
to
be
on
or
near
trails
and
nine
and
ten
were
in.
G
You
know,
thought
it
would
be
acceptable
at
least
were
neutral
about
requiring
one-way
travel
for
cyclists.
On
a
trail
again,
we
had
some
actions
that
were
viewed
a
little
bit
less
positively.
Fifty-Nine
percent
thought
it
would
be
acceptable
or
neutral
to
have
alternating
days
for
cyclists
and
hikers.
But
this
means
we
had
about
forty
percent,
who
thought
that
would
not
be
acceptable,
and
then
we
had
over
half
who
thought
it
wouldn't
be
acceptable
to
specify
specific
times
of
day
for
cyclists
and
hikers
on
a
trail.
G
And
so
this
is
kind
of
wraps
up
my
presentation.
So
in
summary
all
say
you
know:
residents
were
satisfied
with
their
open
space
in
mountain
parks.
Experiences
possible
areas
for
improvement.
That
I
mentioned
were
those
dog
stations
restrooms
of
visitor
parking,
open
space
of
mountain
parks.
Visitors
do
perceive
that
the
recreation
activities
may
have
impacts
on
plants
and
wildlife
on
open
space
and
mountain
parks
lands,
and
there
are
a
number
of
actions
that
they
would
support,
but
a
few
that
might
face
more
opposition
and
I
had
just
mentioned
those.
G
G
I
Off
I
want
to
say
this
is
a
stellar
like
report
from
the
survey
like
it's
so
rich
with
information.
I
really
appreciate
the
time
that
you
and
everyone
else
is
done,
looking
through
it
yesterday
yesterday
I
was
like.
Oh,
this
is
great.
This
is
great.
This
is
great
and
I'm
kind
of
new
to
social
science.
I
You
know
whatever
it
is
and
looking
through
the
stuff
that
is
really
nice
in
the
back
that
you
gave
like
a
by
age
by
gender
by
location
and
how
variable
that
was
especially
interesting
to
me
is
by
age,
because
it
seems
like
we
have
a
huge
wave
of
people
that
are
60
and
over
that
have
very
different
values
from
those
that
are
60
and
under
with
respect
to
how
they
choose
to
recreative.
A
land
should
be
managed,
and
my
question
sorry
to
build
this
up
for
all.
G
I
Right
well,
my
question
about
this
is
from
your
experience.
Does
this
see?
Do
you
think
this
is
hey?
We
have
a
wave
of
people
that
have
one
set
of
beliefs
and
they
are
aging
out
gradually,
not
that
I'm
in
rush
or
anything
but
and
another
wave
of
people
that
are
coming
up
with
a
different
set
of
values.
Or
do
we
have
something
where
you
are
at
X
age
and
you
have
Y
values
and
when
you
get
to
the
age,
X
plus
20
you'll
have
Z
values
right.
G
That's
a
little
hard
for
me
to
answer.
It
might
be
interesting
to
look
back
at
some
of
those
previous
surveys
and
those
craft
steps
to
see.
If
there's
a
similar,
you
know
trend
going
on.
If
maybe,
as
you
said,
because
people
talk
about
you
know,
is
it
a
cohort
effect?
You
know
boomers
have
a
certain
kind
of
shared
experiences
versus
Generation
X
versus
maybe
the
Silent
Generation,
or
is
it
an
age
effect
like
you
said,
as
you
age
things,
will
you
know
change
in
your
perspective?
I
Well,
oh
thanks,
yeah
I,
just
yeah
as
curious
as
we're
moving
forward
at
this
master
plan
is
like
how
much
weight
do
you
give
this
very
different
set
of
values
might
be
really
critical
because
we're
looking
at
what's
coming
20
50
years
from
now.
You
know
they
might
be
like
I.
Don't
want
to
do
anything
outdoors
I
just
want
my
hoverboard
er
anyway.
Thank
you.
Who's
really
good.
B
J
G
Can
remember
the
last
one
sort
of
2010?
It
was
12%,
and
this
is
one
of
the
reasons
we
changed
from
phone
to
mail
is
response
rates
to
all.
Surveys
are
declining,
but
they
have
declined
precipitously
for
the
phone
surveys
so
pew,
for
example,
you
know
they
do
lots
of
social
science
research.
They
used
to
see
response
rates
in
the
30s.
You
know
35
percent
or
something
and
they're
down
to
about
9
percent
now
on
their
phone
surveys.
G
I
G
G
F
K
Evening,
dawn,
damico
ecological
stewardship
supervisor
for
open
space.
Mountain
parks
in
your
packet
is
a
memo
describing
a
potential
partnership
between
Denver
Water
in
the
city
to
restore
and
improve
kwatak
habitat
on
South
Boulder
Creek,
an
open
space
property,
basically
from
South
Boulder
Road
upstream
to
our
property
boundary
just
below
Marshall,
Road
and
south
boulder
creek
has
been
the
focus
of
a
lot
of
our
resource
management
efforts
for
quite
a
while.
K
So
we
don't
get
excessive,
aggradation
or
channel
degradation.
We
currently
have
30
percent
or
conceptual
design
plans
for
this,
and
we're
going
to
use
those
two
we're
going
to
include
those
in
an
RFP
that
we
hope
to
send
out
in
about
a
month
to
further
those
designs,
take
them
to
construction
level,
plans
and
specifications.
K
We're
hopeful
that
these
in-stream
flows
will
help
Boulder
meet
its
in-stream
flow
goals
as
part
of
its
instrumental
Graham,
which
is
administered
by
Public
Works
and
managed
by
joanna
bloom,
the
source
water
administrator
for
Public
Works.
Who
is
here
tonight
to
answer
any
questions
or
help
answer
your
questions
about
these
IgA
s
or
about
the
in-stream
flow
program.
K
So
earlier
this
year,
Denver
Water
approached
us
and
asked
about
a
partnership
whereby
they
would
provide
funding
for
our
South
Boulder
Creek
project
and
that
would
allow
Denver
Water
to
present
the
project
to
the
Corps
of
Engineers
as
additional
compensatory
mitigation
for
their
Clean
Water
Act
404
permit
a
few
months
ago,
Denver,
Water
and
city
staff
from
the
attorney's
office,
Public,
Works
and
open
space
and
Alan
parks
began
working
on
an
IgA.
We
recently
completed
a
draft
of
that,
and
that
is
an
attachment.
K
When
there
404
permit
requirements
have
been
met
and
then,
lastly,
if
Denver
Water
decides,
were
or
can't
for
one
reason
or
another
build
their
gross
reservoir
enlargement
project.
Obviously
there
will
need
for
that
compensatory
for
for
mitigation,
and
so
they
wouldn't
they
wouldn't
fund
the
project.
After
that,
that's
quick,
summary
of
of
the
memo,
Joanna
and
I
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
about
the
project.
The
IGA
that
the
previous
ideas,
any
questions
you
might
have.
B
We'd
like
to
start
great
just.
J
K
One
of
the
trigger
points
would
be
a
404
permit
right
or
for
the
project,
and
another
would
be
if,
if
we
went
out
to
bid
and
approved
and
entered
into
a
contract
with
a
consultant,
design-build
team,
then
we
would
we
would
basically,
assuming
that
the
IGA
was,
was
signed
and
approved.
We
would
just
begin
construction
of
the
project
after
that,
not.
J
K
J
We're
on
our
own
timeline
at
this
point
and
we
hope
that
Denver
ends
up
paying
for
it,
but
it's
not
a
requirement
to
proceed
correct.
Okay!
Yes,
could
you
just
say
a
little
bit
about
the
operation
of
the
gross
environmental
pool
and
how
it
hopefully
will
interact
with
these
changes
you're
going
to
make
to
to
take
advantage
of
that,
I
mean
I.
Are
you
planning
to
do
mostly
winter
low
flow
management
or
Joe
and
I
would
love
to
answer.
L
Hi
I'm
Joanna
bloom
from
Public
Works.
So
do
you
answer
your
question?
The
IGA
between
Boulder
and
the
city
of
Lafayette
agrees
that
Boulder
will
have
the
primary
responsibility
to
maintain
in-stream
flows
in
the
summer
period,
May
through
September
and
then
Lafayette
as
part
of
their
municipal
operations
would
deliver
water
through
these
reaches
for
the
winter
and
I.
Think
there's
some
wiggle
room
in
that
it's
the
five
thousand
acre
foot
pool
is
divided
three
thousand
Lafayette,
two
thousand
Boulder
generally,
but
there's
some
overlap.
A
J
L
And
so
I
think
the
state
tried
to
get
an
in-stream
flow
in
this
reach
and
it's
kind
of
divided
into
two
segments
back
in
the
80s
and
they
do
have
an
in-stream
flow
on
south
Boulder
Creek,
but
it
was
limited
by
water
availability,
and
so
this
is
this
would
be
a
big
boost
to
the
in-stream
flow
program
and
I'm.
Certain
Don
could
speak
to
the
ecological
benefits,
but
in
terms
of
just
wet
water
being
there.
This
has
been
identified
as
the
main
avenue
for
providing
that
water
and.
J
Thank
you
sure.
It's
some
point,
I,
don't
know.
If
we're
gonna
get
more
of
a
briefing
on
the
details
of
this
work,
you're
gonna
do
I
know
we
all
find
it
interesting.
I'm,
particularly
interested
in
plans
to
reduce
the
aggradation
going
on
in
South
Willow
Creek,
which
creates
such
an
interesting
situation
for
flood
control.
Sure.
K
B
C
I
had
had
one
question,
but
maybe
it
should
just
be
tabled
until
that
future
staff
presentation,
which
is
basically
you
know
this
project
is
coming
forward
based
on
things
that
have
happened
to
the
Reach's
based
on
past
land
uses
and
the
2013
flooding.
It
makes
me
think
about
well
any
of
this
work
being
undermined
by
future
land
uses.
K
K
If
the
flood
mitigation
project
the
option
D
is
constructed,
there
could
potentially
be
an
intersection
right
at
South,
Boulder
Creek
and
us
36,
where
the
berm
ends
close
to
the
creek,
but
without
any
detail
as
to
what
any
any
of
those
improvements
associated
with
a
berm
are
it's
kind
of
hard
to
tell,
but
that
would
be
the
only
we
anticipate
that
would
be
the
only
place
that
would
be
purely
kind
of
a
physical
overlap.
Okay,.
B
Got
a
lot
of
the
questions
answered,
but
I
would
be
interested
in
like
Kurt
Mori
information
as
the
designs
go
along
because
I'm
interested
in
sediment
transfer-
and
you
know
where
we
would
be
going
with
the
canopy-
and
you
mentioned
that
there'd
be
in-stream
cover,
so
I
guess
down
the
road.
We
can
talk
about
what
that
would.
K
K
Speaking
of
which
there's
a
written
update
in
the
packet
for
the
Boulder
Creek
restoration
projects,
the
to
Boulder
Creek
restoration
projects
that
you've
heard
about
before
a
couple
of
times
those
are
close
to
completion.
We
anticipate
the
upstream
what
we
call
the
confluence
project
upstream
of
60,
first
to
be
completed
on
the
next
week
or
two.
The
downstream
project
below
sixty
first
is
substantially
completed,
except
for
an
augmentation
station
down
at
the
green,
ditch
and
hoping
that
later
this
summer.
K
J
A
B
M
I
Won
we
won
I'll,
try
and
be
quick.
In
the
last
week,
I've
had
two
different
groups
of
people
who
have
asked
to
meet
with
me
regarding
the
sort
of
how
the
master
plan
is
coming
along
and
both
of
them
expressed
the
same
general
concern
of
interest
in
knowing
sort
of
what's
going
to
be
addressed
in
the
master
plan.
I
What
will
be
sort
of
subtended
into
other
plans
and
I
see
that
in
November
there's
the
portfolio
for
the
master
plan
as
scheduled,
be
presented
and
I
was
just
wondering
if
we
might
be
able
to
have
something
in
advance
of
hey
here's
the
portfolio
to
be
like
hey?
What
would
you
like
in
the
portfolio?
Here's,
what
we're
thinking
in
the
portfolio
and
now
that
I
give
the
public
a
chance
to
address
their
concerns
before
you
get
to
the
point
where
you're
already
there
hi.
N
Darren
Wagner
project
manager
for
the
master
plan.
So
thank
you
for
the
lead-in
and
it's
certainly
something
he
anticipate
engaging
the
board
around
a
discussion
prior
to
the
release.
The
portfolio
we
as
just
a
very
mini
update,
have
recently
awarded
a
contract
to
our
consultant,
and
so
we
just
had
our
kickoff
meeting
with
them
last
week,
and
so
we
are
in
the
process
of
building
out
the
schedule,
looking
at
potential
engagement
strategies
and
and
really
just
in
the
very
early
stages
of
putting
those
things
together
and
so
we'll
certainly
be
putting
questions
to
the
board.
N
Just
like
that
in
terms
of
how
and
when
would
you
like
to
be
engaged
and
a
large
portion
of
that
conversation
can
be
had
at
the
retreat,
which
has
been
scheduled
now
for
the
end
of
August.
So
that'll
be
a
really
nice
opportunity
to
really
make
sure
we
have
time
to
hear
from
you
around
a
number
of
those
questions.
Great
perfect
yeah.
B
Two
little
updates
on
the
50th
just
to
give
you
very
quickly
what
we're
doing
on
that.
So
we're
working
still
on
history
and
we
had
a
little
flagger,
it's
kind
of
tendeth,
but
there's
quite
a
few
things
coming
along,
we'll
have
a
brass
hand,
that'll
be
in
the
amphitheater
on
Flag
staff
and
the
logo
is
done
and
we
have
kind
of
this
new
slogan
which
is
celebrating
50
years
of
a
wild
idea,
which
I
think
is
pretty
good
and
we're
working
with
see
you
on
what
this
symposium
will
look
like.
B
But
there's
not
really
any
details.
Much
on
that
and
then
I
thought
it
would
give
you
a
quick
update
on
the
green
wait'
again
the
meeting
that
we
had
the
advisory
committee
that
was
on
may
11th
and
aundrea.
We
have
with
me.
Lunch
was
great
because
we
were
looking
at
some
transportation
issues
and
she
had
that
history.
So
we
looked
at
the
seat
for
the
AREPO
underpass
project
and
we'll
be
looking
more
into
considerations
of
their
approach
and
some
of
the
design
issues.
B
And
then
we
did
recommend
and
improve
the
greenways
capital
improvements
program
for
the
next
year.
So
Andriy
I
will
be
going
next
year
with
me
for
the
meetings,
but
so
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
a
quick
update
on
that
and
that's
how
I
am
Messer's.
O
Quick
things,
I
wanted
a
second,
what
Kevin
said,
but
I
won't
repeat
it.
Why?
One
question
was
looking
at
the
prairie
dog
working
group
output.
How
much
of
a
workload
is
that
for
staff
I
had
the
sense
that
the
output
generated
a
lot
of
projects
to
be
done?
Probably
you
know,
is
to
be
expected,
given
the
nature
of
what
they
were
undertaking
in
the
amount
of
time
in
which
they
had
to
undertake.
P
Yeah
so
good
question:
we
don't
know
the
full
impact
of
that
until
we
kind
of
start
working
with
the
committee
out
of
the
parade
I
working
group,
that's
going
to
be
implementing
many
of
the
recommendations
in
there,
we're
anticipating
that
we'll
be
able
to
handle
it
by
shifting
workload
into
into
that
from
other
things.
A
second
priority
of
the
wildlife
group
is
kind
of
related,
but
it
is
very
related
which
is
working
on
getting
the
permits
for
additional
relocation
sites
for
this
year,
and
so
that's
currently
underway.
P
The
pressure
the
driver
is
the
several
sites
that
require
relocation
of
prairie
dogs
this
year
and
that's
the
site
out
by
the
diagonal
highway.
The
foothills
park
has
a
significant
number
of
prairie
dogs
still
that
need
to
be
moved
and
a
couple
and
another
emergence
aiight
may
also
need
to
have
some
prairie
dogs
move
this
year.
So
we're
trying
to
figure
out
how
do
we
handle
all
that?
P
O
Yep,
the
other.
This
is
perhaps
as
much
for
the
board
as
for
staff,
but
I,
don't
think
we've
had
a
discussion
exactly
about
what
we're
talking
about
at
the
retreat.
I
think
we've
met
me
have
missed
it.
I
think
we've
succeeded
in
scheduling
it
and
I'm.
You
know,
for
me,
I
am,
would
certainly
prioritize
the
the
master
planning
process,
both
in
terms
of
process
and
whatever
and
I.
Don't
know
if
that
consumes
an
entire
retreat
or
not.
But
I
thought
you
know,
maybe
it's
worth
to
spending
a.
I
Think
I
mean
I
have
something
I'd
like.
Maybe
a
presentation
on
that
would
inform
me
in
advance
of
the
master
planning
process,
which
is,
as
crowding
remains,
a
really
big
concern
for
City
Council,
for
us,
for
staff
and
for
the
public.
If
we
could
have
a
presentation
about
sort
of
how
visitation
is
shifting
or
has
shifted
in
the
in
recent
years,
so
that
when
we
start
moving
forward,
not
only
can
I
address
that
for
the
plan,
but
also
when
people
ask
like
why
is
it
so
crowded.
P
H
When
we
complete
the
results
or
the
findings
from
the
visitation
study,
we
will
have
information
about
the
numbers
of
people
in
the
trends.
However,
we
haven't
specifically
asked
in
our
visitors
surveys
or
resident
surveys
about
crowding
or
congestion
or
perceptions
on
those
things,
and
so
really
when
we
look
at
crowding
it's
kind
of
the
the
negative
evaluation
of
those
numbers,
so
we'll
have
the
numbers.
But
if
we
want
to
know
more
about
how
people
feel
about
it,
we
would
have
to
ask
those
questions.
H
F
Just
a
little
background,
Molly
and
I
did
meet
with
Heidi
Brinkman
and
talked
about
a
drap
pulling
together
a
draft
agenda
for
the
retreat.
That
Molly
would
then
circulate
with
the
board
we.
So
that's
where
we
did
meet
with
Heidi
we're
just
expecting
the
draft
to
come
back
from
her
and
we'll
get
that
out
to
you
and
you
can
provide
feedback,
and
just
so
you
know,
I
think
about
half
of
the
time
is
devoted
to
the
master
plan
and
the
other
half
is
really
around
like
how
our
meetings
going.
You
know,
checking
in
on
minutes.
B
So
I
guess
we're
moving
to
the
the
trail
easement.
So.
Q
And
I'm
a
rookie
with
this
I
might
need
a
little
guidance
here
good
evening
board.
Q
I
G
Q
We
go
so
before
I
go
into
the
lot
of
the
details
about
the
Trail
easement
acquisition
project.
I
thought
I'd,
first
start
off
with
just
a
general
overview
of
the
project,
so
the
trail
easement
that
we
would
be
that
we're
seeking
to
acquire
would
encompass
approximately
16
acres
of
privately
held
land
land
that
is
located
just
to
the
west
of
north
foothills
highway.
Q
A
few
miles
north
of
the
city
of
city
limits
of
Boulder,
the
purchase
price
for
the
trail
easement
acquisition,
as
determined
by
an
independent
appraiser
appraisal
that
the
department
contracted
out
for
is
three
hundred
and
seventy
six
thousand
two
hundred
dollars
the
turn
the
length
of
the
easement
is
perpetual.
So,
unlike
some
easements
that
may
expire
after
five
ten
twenty
five
years,
the
rights
of
the
city
would
be
acquiring
through.
This
easement
will
be
permanent
in
nature.
Q
I'd
like
to
point
out
that,
with
like
conservation,
easements
and
trail
leads
meant
that
the
land
itself
will
remain
under
private
ownership
and
in
this
case
the
private
owner
at
this
current
time
is
Greenhill,
Investments
LLC
and
one
more
point
to
point
out
about
the
16
acres
that
will
be
uncovered
by
the
trail.
Easement
acquisition
is
that
there
already
is
a
conservation
easement
that
is
jointly
held
by
the
city
and
the
county
over
this
property
and
in
fact,
it
encumbers
the
whole
Greenhill
investments
property.
Q
So,
looking
at
some
more
details
and
specifically
what
rights
does
this
public
trail
easement
acquisition
conveyed
to
the
city?
Well,
there's
several
first
and
foremost,
and
perhaps
the
motivating
factor
for
this
project
is
the
right
for
the
city
to
construct,
maintain
and
manage
a
public
trail
for
passive
recreational
use
anywhere
within
the
defined
16-acre
trail
easement
area
on
Greenhill
investments
property.
So
we
have
the
flexibility
to
locate
the
trail
anywhere
within
that
hatched
area.
That's
located
down
on
the
southwest
portion
of
Greenhill
Investments
property.
Q
Additionally,
we,
the
city,
would
obtain
the
rights
for
land
management
and
restoration
within
the
16
acre
trail
easement
area,
and
this
is
an
important
consideration.
If
you
look
at
the
inset
map
to
the
right,
the
olive
green
colored
to
the
west
and
to
the
south
of
the
easement
area
is
land
that
is
already
managed
by
open
space
in
mountain
parks,
so
be
able
to
continue
that
management
philosophy
on
to
the
16
acres
in
which
we
don't
have
that
right
under
the
conservation.
Q
Easement
is
an
important
factor
and
one
that
we
were
excited
to
write
into
the
trail.
Easement
agreement
and
also
the
city
will
obtain
the
right
to
prohibit
the
placement
of
any
non
trail,
related
structures
within
the
16
acre
area.
So
we
look
at
it
as
a
trail
easement
plus,
if
you
will,
because
there's
additional
rights
set,
are
afforded
the
city.
Q
Q
Taking
the
closer
look
into
the
details
of
the
NTSA
plan,
there
was
there
specific
guidance
that
was
provided
in
regards
to
the
north
trail
or
north
sky
trail,
and
that
guidance
includes
encouragement
for
the
staff
to
use
the
railroad
grade
when
and
other
existing
trails.
Whenever
feasible
and
I'll
speak
more
in
detail
about
the
railroad
grade
and
just
a
bit
further.
Q
Furthermore,
at
the
time
when
City
Council
approved
the
NTSA
plan
in
the
summer
of
16,
they
provided
additional
direction
and
guidance
in
regards
to
the
north
sky.
Trail
City
Council's
direction
is
to
minimize
the
footprint
of
the
north
sky
trail
and
find
an
alignment
that
minimizes
natural
resource
impacts
and,
again
to
reiterate,
it
arises
again
to
use
best
efforts
to
locate
the
trail
through
the
conservation
easement
property
again,
which
is
the
green
hills.
Investment.
Q
The
middle
map
will
have
to
colorations.
The
yellow
is
the
conceptual
alignment,
as
the
trail
north
sky
trail
as
it
now
is
conceived
and
the
blue
color
is
actually
the
railroad
grade.
So
you
could
see
that
on
open
space
and
mountain
pop
park's
property,
where
the
Green
Line
is
located.
That
is
where
the
trail.
The
conceptual
trail
would
now
need
to
leave
the
railroad
grade
in
order
to
get
up
and
around
the
private
property
that
is
Green
Hill
investments,
property
and,
in
this
slide,
map
Green
Hills
investment
property
is
outlined
in
red.
Q
Q
Q
That's
on
the
that's
that
scene
on
the
private
property
versus
the
open
space
and
mountain
park,
managed
property,
and
that,
and
that
could
be
seen
on
the
lower
left-hand
slide,
which
involves
terrain
and
slope
favors.
The
more
sustainable
trail
design,
that's
a
very
typical
look
of
that
trail,
easement
area,
a
more
gentle
slope
and
a
little
bit
less
quality
of
habitat
just
want
to
point
out
in
regards
to
habitat
that
we
will
be
obtaining
land
management
rights
and
habitat
restoration
rights
within
the
trail
easement.
Q
So
if,
if
the
north
scale,
if
the
trail
easement
project
is
approved,
some
next
steps
are
is
the
16
acre.
Easement
area
will
be
factored
into
the
alignment
and
design
of
the
north
sky
trail
as
part
of
site
planning
for
the
area,
in
addition
to
just
trail,
alignment
and
design
site
planning
for
the
entire
north
sky
trail,
as
well
as
the
other
trails
in
the
antia
and
in
this
north
foothills
area.
Q
Again,
because
we
are
able
to
obtain
rights
for
land
management
and
habitat
habitat
restoration.
We
also
believe
that
that
we
satisfied
the
charter
purpose
of
the
preservation
of
wildlife,
habitats
and
fragile
ecosystems,
and
because
there's
rights
in
the
city
to
prohibit
the
construction
or
placement
of
any
non
trail
related
buildings
and
structures
within
the
16
acre
area,
satisfying
the
charter
purpose
of
the
preservation
of
scenic
areas
and
vistas
of
which
this
portion
of
green
hills,
investment
property
is
very
high
in
terms
of
its
scenic
quality
in
terms
of
post
acquisition.
Q
If
there's
some
immediate
attention
that
we
need
to
put
our
attention
to
that
staff
is
counting
on
and
and
planning
for.
A
couple
of
items
related
to
fencing
need
needs
in
order
to
ready
the
trail
easement
area
for
the
placement
of
the
north
sky
trail,
and
that
would
be
the
relocation
and
or
elimination
of
several
fences
that
are
currently
on
on
the
property
and
also
possibly,
the
placement
of
new
fencing
on
Green
Hill
investments.
Property
in
the
trail
easement
area.
Q
Yes,
well
just
describe
yeah,
so
as
part
of
our
due
diligence
for
every
acquisition.
We
do.
We
always
order
and
conduct
a
phase,
one
environmental
assessment
of
our
properties
in
this
case
we're
certainly
going
to
be
carrying
out
that,
in
addition
to
that,
a
phase,
one
would
typically
tell
you
few
if
they
would
recommend
any
future
steps
that
you
would
that
you
ought
to
do
or
would
recommend
that
nothing
is
not.
Nothing
is
come
out
from
this
phase
one
and-
and
we
may
stop
there
and
looking
at
anything
further.
Q
In
this
case,
we
are
going
to
head
during
the
full
phase
one
and
we
are
collecting
a
soil
sampling
along
the
Hoff
conceptual
trail
route
and
that
sampling
has
already
started.
32
separate
soil
samples
were
collected
along
the
trail
route
and
we'll
know
the
results,
probably
within
within
the
month.
In
fact,
I
think
we'll
get
the
full
phase.
Q
C
Yeah
I
had
one
question,
because
the
trail
he's
been
prohibits
the
placement
of
non
trail
related
buildings
and
structures.
What
rights
does
the
landowner
retain
at
this
point?
Well,.
Q
One
of
the
questions
that
I
had
offhand
is
boy
three
hundred
and
seventy-six
thousand
for
a
trail.
Easement
sounds
sounds
expensive,
yeah
and
the
reason
for
that
is
that
when
the
appraiser
looked
at
the
rights
that
were
being
given
up,
they
determined
that
about
ninety
percent
of
the
rights
that
you
would
have
as
a
land
owner
in
this
property
are
really
relinquished
through
this
trail
easement,
because
it's
just
not
the
right
to
put
a
trail
anywhere
within
the
16
acres.
Is
there
they
could.
The
private
landowner
cannot
have
motorized
vehicles
on
the
16
acres.
Q
Q
When
our
first
conversations
with
the
landowner
began
about
16
months
ago,
fee
acquisition
was
definitely
one
of
the
options
that
we
put
on
the
table
and
the
landowners
were
not
interested
in
languishing
any
ownership
at
that
time.
So
actually,
negotiations
pause
for
a
little
bit
at
that
point
until
we
came
back
with
the
trail
easement
concept,
okay,.
O
Q
Look
back
for
examples
of
Trail,
easement
acquisitions
and-
and
you
know
we
go
back
our
acquisitions
over
100
years
ago,
but
I
this
I
don't
know
if
this
is
the
first,
but
it
very
may
well
be
one
of
the
firsts
of
the
of
this
kind.
In
fact,
we
didn't
even
have
a
template
for
a
trail
easement
agreement,
so
I
had
had
to
go
out
and
with
City
Attorney's
office
and
put
one
together
because
we
didn't
have
a
template
ready
at
hand,
so
yeah.
R
Tom,
we
actually
have
been
given
dedicated
several
trail
easements
through
the
land
use
process
through
subdivisions
plan,
use
developments,
things
like
that
development
approvals,
where
the
trail
easements
do
go
through
things
like
commercial
complexes
and
stuff.
Most
of
those
trails
are
those
paved
as
we've
talked
about
before
that
are
now
managed
by
greenways,
but
those
are
still
OS.
Several
of
them
are
still
a
mess.
Mp
Easons
all.
O
Q
O
B
Kevin
any
question:
I
just
had
a
general
observation
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
think
we
did
a
great
job
trying
to
make
this
work
out
kind
of
for
everybody
and
I'd
looked
at
previous
seas
and
we're
not
out
of
the
ballpark
tremendously
for
the
price.
So
I
don't
think
it's
you
know.
B
I
I
would
want
to
make
sure
that
the
monitoring
does
is
adequately
funded
in
the
future.
Also
so
in
terms
of
if
we
have
any
kind
of
legal
or
anything
coming
up
in
the
future.
That
could
happen
with
the
jury.
Sure.
O
M
I'm
Steve
watts,
I
live
at
2670
13th
Street
here
in
the
city
of
Boulder
I.
Could
thank
the
trustees
this
evening
for
taking
on
this
recommendation
from
staff
thanks
math
for
their
work.
Their
effort
in
this
certainly,
and
also
to
mention
that
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
Boulder
mountain
bike,
Alliance
a
local
nonprofit.
M
We
think
it's
critical
for
not
only
the
trail
alignment
that
makes
sense,
but
also
it
does
show
that
OS
MP
is
working
very
diligently
to
see
to
fruition
the
the
needs
and
wants
of
the
community
in
establishing
North
sky
trail,
which
is
so
important
for
the
regional
connector
from
the
North
Boulder
onward
to
high
l2
and
onward
to
lyon.
So,
thank
you
very
much
for
your
time
and
I
hope
that
you
will
approve
this
this
evening.
Thank
you.
I
Wanted
to
say,
I
think
this
is
the
one
of
those
times
when
I
feel
like
it
all
worked
out
really
well
and
I.
Remember
banging
my
head
on
the
table.
Trying
to
say:
can
we
just
do
a
conservation,
easement
and
now
it's
working
so
I
think
this
is
gonna,
make
a
better
trail.
It's
gonna
be
better
for
the
natural
environment.
It's
like
the
best.
We
could
do
with
what
we
got
so
great
job
to
all
the
staff
for
making
it
happen.
I
J
F
Thank
you
dan
and
Luke,
and
Steve
is
not
here,
but
Steve
would
Armstead
was
very
involved
with
this,
and
I
have
to
give
those
three
folks
a
lot
of
credit
for
hitting
some
dead
ends
and
keeping
it
alive,
and
so
they
did
great
creative
work
and
working
with
the
property
owner
and
also
with
the
City
Attorney's
Office
helped
us
quite
a
bit
as
well.
Oh
thanks
team.
S
Third
time
here
for
CIP
the
next
go-round
on
July
12th,
we'll
actually
move
into
the
operating
component
of
our
budget
and
integrate
and
touch
on
some
of
the
details
that
you've
had
related
to
staffing
maintenance
funding,
as
well
as
our
campus
visioning.
So
look
forward
to
that
next
meeting.
So
what
we
plan
to
do
tonight,
just
this
brief
discussion
again,
will
remind
you
of
the
city's
economic
forecast
review.
What
was
discussed
at
the
last
board
meeting
answer.
Any
questions
have
a
public
hearing
and
hopefully
get
to
recommendation.
S
So
this
is
similar
to
what
Lauren
Kilcoy
and
our
financial
services
manager
has
shared
in
the
last
session,
no
changes,
but
we
again
are
basing
our
fund
financial
and
financial
planning
on
conservative
budget
with
spending
that's
within
the
means
of
the
revenues
that
are
anticipated
in
the
additional
guidance
that
still
come
in
from
central
budget
which
we'll
see,
hopefully,
an
update
at
the
next
meeting
is
related
to
the
FEMA
reimbursement.
So,
in
the
top
half
of
the
fund,
financial
hopefully
gets
some
refinement
and
a
better
understanding
of
what
we'll
anticipate
for
FEMA
reimbursements.
S
S
So,
just
a
review
to
make
sure
that
we
captured
what
you
heard
and
our
budget
our
CIP
and
operating
integrate.
What
we've
heard
from
you
is
the
need
to
resolve
the
department's
state-based
staff
needs
for
equipment
materials
vehicles,
and
we
also
heard
the
need
to
appreciate
our
continued
transition
to
move
towards
stewardship
and
continue
to
have
that
analysis
inform
what
we're
doing
related
to
those
stewardship
efforts.
And
we
also
heard
a
recommended
a
recommendation
for
the
draft
that
was
discussed
at
the
last
meeting.
S
So
if
you
have
questions
anything
that
you
thought
of
between
then
and
now
that
you'd
like
to
ask,
please
let
us
know-
and
hopefully
we
can
get
to
those
before
we
go
to
public
hearing
and
then
a
recommendation
for
a
motion.
B
Buddy
once
start
nothing,
good,
okay,
I
had
one
question,
and
maybe
it's
little
too
late
to
be
bringing
this
up,
but
that
when
I'm,
looking
at
2.4
million
for
the
new
property
for
open
space
and
I
did
cut
a
little
calling
around
and
welder
to
find
out
what
buildings
and
that
type
of
thing
are.
It
feels
like
that's
really
low
and
just
want
to
make
that
statement.
I,
don't
know
how
we
started
dressing
that,
but
it's
a
comment.
B
S
S
S
F
B
O
Awful
move
that
the
open
space
Board
of
Trustees
approve
and
recommend
that
planning
board
approve
an
appropriation
of
9
million
$82,000
of
2018
from
the
open
space
fund
CIP,
as
outlined
in
this
memorandum
and
related
attachments,
and
recommend
that
three
hundred
and
fifty
five
thousand
three
hundred
be
appropriated
from
the
city's
Lottery
Fund
CIP
in
2018.
As
outlined
in
this
memorandum
and
related
attachments,
we.
R
Right
good
evening,
everyone,
this
agenda
item,
is
a
request
for
recommendation
to
approve
the
purchase
of
the
Boulder
Valley
farm,
open
space
property
and
a
secondary
recommendation
to
approve
the
potential
future
disposal
of
a
portion
of
the
property,
if
found
to
be
appropriate,
I'd
like
to
take
a
little
time
this
evening
to
present
some
photos
in
detail.
What
makes
this
proposed
acquisition
so
special
I'm
glad
many
of
you
have
been
able
to
tour
the
property
and
see
its
scale
and
unique
values
in
person.
R
The
quick
overview
of
the
proposed
acquisition,
the
Boulder
Valley
farm
property
recognizable
from
north
95th
Street
by
its
dark
brown
buildings
and
fencing,
is
it
615,
acre
agricultural,
complex,
featuring
among
other
exceptional
attributes,
important
soils,
8
ponds
and
almost
one
and
a
half
miles
of
Boulder
Creek
frontage.
The
nine
point
five
million
dollar
purchase
price
will
include
the
residences
and
agricultural
infrastructure
associated
with
the
farm,
as
well
as
significant
water
rights.
R
The
project
also
offers
the
opportunity
to
acquire
the
remaining
mineral
and
oil
and
gas
royalty
holdings
of
the
Boulder
Valley
Farm
corporation,
both
on
this
property
and
the
adjacent
culver
property
previously
acquired
by
the
city.
This
guarantee
is
the
best
possible
control
of
any
future
oil
and
gas
development
on
a
property
that
has
active
wells
under
existing
leases.
R
This
property
is
the
remaining
portion
of
the
historic
950
acre
cattle
ranch
owned
by
the
Don
and
Rosalie
call
her
family
since
1961,
the
city
acquired
250
acres,
west
of
95th
Street
from
the
Culver
in
the
1990s,
as
well
as
a
conservation
easements
over
portions
of
the
farm
in
1992
and
2006.
The
farms
adjacency
to
other
city
and
county
property
interests
make
it
attractive
from
a
habitat
connectivity
and
landscape
scale
perspective.
The
property
is
also
bisected
by
the
Union
Pacific
RTD
right-of-way,
which
holds
potential
for
a
future
regional
trail
connection
from
Belmont
to
Erie.
R
Now
I'd
like
to
present
the
property's
important
features
and
valuable
resources
in
the
context
of
our
OS
MP
charter
purposes,
and
demonstrate
why
the
pharma
is
considered
a
high
priority
for
acquisition
by
program
staff
and
represents
an
important
addition
to
the
OS
MP
system
in
terms
of
Water
Resources.
The
proposed
acquisition
includes
valuable
water
rights
used
to
irrigate
the
farms
expansive
agricultural
fields.
The
property
also
hosts
open,
ditch
corridors
along
the
Leggett
and
lower
bolder,
ditch
ditches.
Excuse
me,
and
a
nearly
one
and
a
half
mile
stretch
of
Boulder
Creek
and
its
associated
floodplain.
R
This
is
the
longest
remaining
segment
of
the
creek
and
private
ownership
in
Boulder,
County
and
ownership
would
allow
for
extension
of
the
Boulder
Creek
master
plan,
restoration,
work
that
is
occurring
both
up
and
downstream
of
this
parcel.
This
riparian
corridor
also
boasts
Cottonwood
gallery
forests
that
are
important
to
canopy,
nesting,
riparian
songbirds
and
as
a
movement
corridor
for
deer
and
other
mammals.
Property
also
includes
eight
historic,
gravel
ponds
and
this
complex
posts
healthy
wetlands,
while
also
offering
extensive
wetland
restoration
opportunities.
R
Moving
on
to
the
farms,
valuable
ecological
resources,
the
Boulder
Valley
comp
plan
shows
the
property
as
being
contiguous
to
parcels
with
known
populations
of
Preble
jumping
mouse
and
its
riparian
areas
near
open
water
and
adjacent
uplands
consisting
of
dense.
Ground-Level
vegetation
could
provide
appropriate
habitat
for
the
federally
threatened
species.
R
Also,
the
extensive
hay
fields
on
the
property
may
provide
habitat
for
uncommon
grassland,
nesting
birds,
nesting
songbirds,
like
bobolinks,
a
rare
breeding
species
in
the
Boulder
Valley
comp
plan
and
a
management
indicator
species
identified
in
OS
NPS
grassland
management
plan
or
grassland
plan.
Excuse
me
from
a
scenic
perspective.
The
property
is
highly
visible
from
surrounding
private
and
open
space
properties
and
95th
Street,
and
offers
sweeping
views
of
the
Front
Range
and
towards
the
eastern
plains.
R
Despite
being
an
agricultural
operation,
the
farm,
an
active
agricultural
operation-
excuse
me
the
farm
boasts
important
and
Natural
Area
attributes.
It
has
historically
support
one
of
the
largest
heron
raise
in
Colorado,
with
numbers
reaching
over
200
nests
in
the
1990s
Aaron
numbers
have
since
decline
in
part
because
of
the
recent
presence
of
the
bald
eagle
pair
that
began
nesting
on
the
property
in
2014.
However,
herons
do
still
frequent
the
properties,
ponds
and
riparian
corridor,
as
many
of
you
saw,
and
at
least
one
active
nest
has
been
found
there
in
2017.
R
Nevertheless,
the
pair
of
nesting
bald
eagles
on
the
property
is
a
sign
of
high-quality
riparian
and
aquatic
habitat.
The
pair
has
fledged
young
successfully
in
2015
and
2016,
and
have
three
nestlings
this
year,
as
shown
in
the
lower
picture
on
the
screen.
The
property
also
includes
an
active
Osprey
nests,
relocated
here
in
2016,
in
collaboration
with
Xcel
Energy
and
Colorado
Parks
and
Wildlife,
and
the
Girl
Scouts.
R
Moving
on
to
its
agricultural
significance.
As
the
map
on
the
screen
shows
a
majority
of
the
property's
agricultural
fields,
our
designate
is
farm
lands
of
national
state
or
local
importance.
Welder
Valley
Farm
is
a
working
cattle
ranch
that
has
historically
supported
up
to
one
hundred
and
fifty
head
and
produce
500
tons
of
Roman
orchard
grass
hay.
R
The
Culver
initially
raised
a
national
championship
heard
of
Charolais
cattle
and
later
a
herd
of
averaging
Black
Angus
cattle
agricultural
fields
are
encompassed
by
approximately
two
hundred
and
twenty
acres
of
irrigated
hay
and
grass
pasture
55
acres
of
irrigated
alfalfa,
two
hundred
and
sixty
acres
of
river
corridor
pasture
and
sixty
acres
of
dry
land
pasture.
The
farm
includes
a
headquarters
compound
where
a
majority
of
the
property's
improvements
are
located,
including
equipment,
barns,
horse
stalls
and
cattle
handling
infrastructure.
R
Aesthetically,
appealing
for
pastoral
character,
Boulder,
Valley,
Farms,
historical
agricultural
operation
and
buildings
also
contribute
to
the
agricultural
history
and
quality
of
life
in
the
area.
The
property
was
homestead
in
1885
by
Jeremiah
and
Augusta
Leggett
and
the
Culver
later
purchased
the
property
from
Axel
Nielson,
a
locally
renowned
businessman
and
philanthropist
who
his
reports
have
hosted.
President
Dwight
Eisenhower
in
the
property's
iconic
red
brick
home
during
the
1990s,
the
Culver
had
historic
and
cultural
surveys
performed
by
Boulder
County,
which
found
the
property
eligible
for
local,
landmark
and
National
Register
of
Historic
Places
designation.
R
However,
the
family
never
pursued
listing
the
reports
that
estate
displaying
a
high
degree
of
integrity,
the
farmhouse
barn
garage
and
concrete
silo
at
Boulder
Valley
farm
are
historically
and
architecturally
significant
for
their
association
with
the
development
of
agriculture
in
the
Boulder
Valley.
The
property
accrues
additional
significance
because
it
remained
in
the
hands
of
a
single
pioneer
family,
the
legate's
from
the
time
it
was
homesteaded
in
the
1880s
until
circa
1940,
the
brick
farmhouse
circa
night
1890
and
Barn
1907
are
particularly
significant
for
their
architecture.
R
R
The
property,
size,
location
and
water
features
make
the
problem
a
kit
appealing
for
public
access
and
potential
passive
recreation,
including
hiking
biking
and
bird-watching.
Also,
the
ponds
have
historically
been
privately
fished
for
bass,
bluegill
and
crappie,
and
a
segment
of
the
potential
Union
Pacific
arti
de
Valmont
to
Erie
regional
trail
bisects
to
the
farm
which
could
provide
future
public
access
opportunities.
Careful
management
considerations
will
be
made
to
balance
public
use
with
ongoing
agricultural
operations
and
protection
of
the
sensitive
environmental
resources.
R
The
growing
town
of
Erie's,
comprehensive
planning
area
boundary
and
Boulder
Valley
comprehensive
planning
area
connect
at
the
eastern
boundary
of
the
property.
Both
plans
indicate
Natural,
Area,
open
space
and
agricultural
type
land
use
in
this
era,
potentially
reflecting
an
intended
spatial
definition
of
the
urban
core
of
Erie
buffer
to
the
more
extensive
residential
developments,
just
east
of
287
and
priorities
to
preserve
the
area's
agricultural
heritage.
R
Now,
moving
on
from
charter
purposes,
I'd
like
to
touch
on
the
current
conserve
status
of
the
farm,
the
terms
of
this
of
the
several
conservation
agreements
encumbering
the
property
vary
with
most
of
the
protections
being
focused
on
the
agricultural
values
and
silent
or
vague
on
the
other
resource
values.
However,
none
of
the
agreements
have
a
requirement
or
obligation
to
maintain
the
agricultural
use
of
the
property.
Only
a
right
to
do
so,
and
none
of
them
require
a
management
pallium
for
any
portion
of
the
property.
R
R
Additionally,
a
large
amount
of
the
water
rights
used
on
the
property
are
not
restricted
and
are
separately
saleable.
The
various
conservation
agreements
also
permit
activities
like
private
waterfowl,
hunting
and
other
uses
that
would
be
restricted
under
city
ownership
and
managing
and
monitoring
compliance
with
the
agreements
held
by
multiple
agencies
and
sometimes
with
conflicting
terms,
requires
a
great
deal
of
staff
time.
R
Considering
the
lack
of
ownership
interest
in
the
property,
the
acquisition
of
the
property
and
water
rights
represents
the
opportunity
for
the
city
to
control
the
management
of
the
agricultural
operation
and
other
uses
of
the
property
and
ensure
the
availability
of
water
to
irrigate
the
property.
It
would
also
allow
the
city
to
manage
public
access
and
possibly
integrate
a
wider
application
of
other
OS
MP
purposes.
R
In
addition
to
the
traditional
agricultural
operation,
including
expanded
restoration
of
the
riparian
corridor,
managing
for
wildlife
and
habitat,
and
preserving
and
interpreting
the
historical
significance
of
the
property
upon
acquisition,
the
property
will
remain
closed
to
the
public
until
resource
assessment
and
management
recommendations
are
developed
during
OS
MP's
property
integration
process.
During
this
time,
OS
MP
staff
will
more
closely
evaluate
the
resource,
management
and
infrastructure
needs
of
the
farm.
R
For
additional
consideration
tonight
is
the
potential
future
disposal
of
a
portion
of
this
property,
the
headquarters
area
of
the
farm
known
as
block
5
of
the
farm
in
Boulder
Valley.
A
new
PUD
includes
two
residences
in
an
agricultural
tenant
unit.
The
block
5
parcel
is
permitted
to
be
subdivided
once
and
because
OS
NP
may
determine
through
its
property
integration
process,
that
ownership
of
all
a
block
5
is
not
needed
to
achieve
its
goals
and
purposes.
B
Guess
one
observation
I
have
is
the
way
that
we've
ridden
done
this
motion
and
maybe
we'll
get
to
this
in
a
minute.
Would
we
want
it
separated
out?
So
the
motion
doesn't
include
the
disposal
and
there
would
be
a
separate
part.
Okay.
B
Yes,
it
seems
like
it's
just
got
a
they're
together
in
the
motion,
so
I'd
like
it
to
be
a
separate
okay.
Okay,
any
other
question
this
we
want
to
do
public
minute.
You
might
wanna
speak
okay.
B
B
Years
ago
would
have
worked
on
their
own
property.
You
know,
I
go
over
to
Boulder,
Valley
permanet,
think
gosh.
It
would
be
so
fabulous
that
this
property,
but
looking
at
the
just
the
conditions
of
all
the
ponds
they're,
just
unbelievable
they're
just
pristine
and
this
property
is
just
so
exciting.
To
think
about
that
we
would
end
this.
So
my
congratulations
to
you
for
doing
this.
O
I
am
a
few
things
first,
as
I
mentioned,
I
need
to
disclose
this
I've
mentioned
this
a
few
times
over
the
years.
I
do
some
legal
work
for
Union
Pacific
Railroad,
nothing
even
remotely
connected
to
any
of
the
issues
here,
but
since
we're
not
buying
their
property
and
since
it's
not
even
an
active
piece
of
railroad,
track,
I
think
I'm,
okay,
anticipating
in
this
discussion,
but
just
wanted
to
fully
disclose
that
I
also
want
to
say
in
general,
I
am
more
skeptical
of
purchases
east
of
95th,
but
this
is
a
very
large
exception
to
that.
O
A
O
We
talked
about
the
math
a
little
bit
on
the
on
the
field
visit
that
you
know
when
you
look
at
what
we've
already
spent
for
the
conservation,
easements
and
subtract
out
things
like
some
of
the
physical
infrastructure,
it's
on
the
order
of
about
ten
or
eleven
thousand
dollars,
an
acre,
which
is
actually
a
very
attractive
price,
for
what
we're
getting,
which
I
mean.
We
almost
never
get
property
at
ten
to
eleven
K
per
acre
these
days.
So
you
know
that's
wonderful
from
that
perspective
as
well.
A
B
I
I
could
have
been
on
the
field
trip,
for
this
like
being
away
in
Maryland
for
the
week
for
work
was
I
would
missed
all
the
fun.
This
looks,
fabulous,
I
think
this
is
one
of
those
you
know
times
where
it's
like
wow.
This
is
a
real
big
win.
It's
not
a
small
piece
of
land.
It's
a
big
big
hunk
that
could
make
a
huge
difference
and
being
on
Boulder,
Creek
I
think
is
just
super
valuable,
so
I
think
this
was
a
big
win.
I
I
would
kind
of
what
you
talked
about
mullet
for
a
beginning
kind
of
echo
that
I
like
the
idea
of
there's
a
movement.
Emotion,
sorry,
not
a
movement
to
acquire
something
and
anything
else
that
has
to
do
with
what
goes
on
on
that
property
remain
a
second
motion.
We
had
discussed
that
before
when
I
talked
about
hcas
and
I,
just
think
in
general,
it's
good
to
just
say
here:
we're
going
to
buy
it.
Here's
a
second
motion
going
to
do
with
it.
I
J
I'll
just
add
my
enthusiasm
to
the
the
number
of
opportunities
that
this
land
presents
is
almost
mind-boggling.
I
start
to
think
about
freeing
together
a
management
plan
for
this
property
does
make
me
dizzy,
but
many
things
were
mentioned
there.
I'll
just
mention
a
couple:
others
that
certainly
jump
out
you
one
is
a
diversified
agriculture,
there's
a
small
part
of
this
property
that
would
be
a
fabulous
place
for
diversified
agriculture
so
and
there's
probably
more
on
that
property.
J
But
all
the
infrastructure
is
in
remarkably
good
condition
and
could
be
used
in
any
number
of
ways
for
education
or,
for
you
know,
continuing
the
AG
livestock
operations
there's
also
substantial
horse
facilities.
There,
too,
which
I
know
will
be
of
interest
to
people.
So
it's
stunning
and
I
will
just
echo
Kevin's.
Congratulations
for
all
the
work.
You
guys
did.
It's
amazing.
F
If
I
could
just
put
a
little
plug
in
for
Steph
Bethany,
Collins
Dan
Burke
once
again
really
brought
it
so
this.
This
is
another
project
or
deal
that
almost
didn't
happen,
and
there
were
a
couple
of
times
where
there
were
off
ramps
that
we
thought
it
wasn't
gonna.
We
weren't
going
to
be
able
to
get
back
on
again
and
they
stayed
with
it
and
with
their
creativity
and
relationship
building
and
so
on,
really
brought
it
home.
So
appreciate
them
and
again
working
with
the
City
Attorney's.
That.
C
R
C
And
as
long
as
we
moved
forward
with
a
second
separate
motion
and
proving
future
potential
disposal,
the
that
that
connection
of
this
boards
relationship
with
the
property
and
our
our
sense
of
at
the
time
of
acquisition,
we
thought
that
this
potential
future
disposal
was
reasonable.
That
would
still
be
made
exactly
absolutely
okay.
It's.
R
A
B
O
So
I'll
move
that
the
open
space
board
of
trustees
recommend
that
the
Boulder
City
Council
approved
the
purchase
of
approximately
six
hundred
and
fifteen
acres
of
land
associated
residences
and
agricultural
buildings,
outbuildings
and
appurtenances
le
farm
Inc
for
nine
point:
five
million
dollars
for
open
space
and
mountain
parks
purposes.
Second,.
M
O
It's
not
proper
by
I
can
just
speak
to
the
sir
hmmm
I.
Don't
know
if
we've
done
this
before
so
I'm
and
I
confess
I
haven't
thought
a
great
deal
about
it,
but
usually
a
disposal
is
a
very
you
know
we
take
those
as
one
of
our
you
know,
most
serious
matters
and
usually
it's
in
the
context
of
a
fairly
specific
proposal
of
what
we're
selling,
who
we're
selling
it
to
what
kind
of
restrictions
if
any
are
imposed
on
it.
O
What
the
sale
price
is
kind
of
how
that
factors
into
the
overall
property
and
whether
we
think
that's
a
good
or
a
bad
idea
and
I'm
just
I,
don't
know
that
I'm
opposed
to
it,
but
I'm
least
concerned
and
I
totally
take
your
point
that
there
is
an
efficiency
that
we
before
four
of
us
have
been
there.
We
kind
of
have
it
in
our
minds.
On
the
other
hand,
we
don't
have
a
very
specific
target
here
on.
O
You
know,
I
think
it's
fine
to
say
sure
if
there's
the
right
buyer
at
the
right
price
and
it
makes
sense
in
terms
of
the
overall
program,
it
would
make
sense
to
proceed.
You
know
put
a
deal
together
and
bring
it
to
us,
and
you
might
you
know,
at
least
from
my
perspective,
take
that
as
a
direction
in
approval
from
our
perspective,
regardless,
but
I
guess
at
least
a
concern
about
whether
we
should
be
voting
for
a
disposal
that
it's
pretty
hypothetical.
O
C
O
O
C
F
O
F
If
that
came
to
pass-
and
it's
just
that-
and
maybe
Bethany
could
speak
to
this
a
little
bit
more-
that
this
one
small
piece
may
not
really
serve
the
all
of
the
purposes
that
were
that
we
see
such
great
value
and
if
it's
a
piece
that
doesn't
necessarily
fall
into
the
integration
of
the
whole
site
and
so
allowing
us
the
flexibility,
and
we
could
always
come
back
and
provide
information
and
analysis
about
why
we
would
pursue
it.
I
think.
I
If
you
don't
put
this
in
here,
not
that
I
mean
it
may
never
be
a
problem,
but
future
board
that
finally
decides
on
disposal
might
be
helped
by
having
us
have
a
formal
statement
of.
We
recognized
that
that
this
is
part
of
the
potential
at
intent
when
this
was
acquired,
because
then
that
way,
they'll
have
a
record
of
our
board
saying
yeah
we
get
it
like.
This
might
be
a
part
that
could
be
Cavs
off.
That
would
negatively
impact
this
I.
Don't
know
how
to
word
that
yeah.
F
And
if
you
don't
want
to
dispose
of
it,
that's
okay,
too,
and
we
can
always
bring
it
back
to
a
future
board.
If
we
didn't
like
to
and.
R
To
provide
a
little
further
clarification,
and
yes,
just
what
Tracy
said,
if
you
guys
don't
want
to
it,
doesn't
make
or
break
any
part
of
this,
so
the
we
do
dispose
of
property.
You
know
and
Coleman
is
a
great
example,
fair
market
value,
with
appropriate
restrictions
based
on
based
on
what
the
future
of
you
know.
What's
surrounding
what
the
property
is,
that
is
being
disposed
up,
and
so
so
that
would
you
know
to
maybe
clarify
some
of
that.
R
The
other
thing
you
know,
as
you
guys
have
seen
in
in
how
the
the
block
five
is
structured.
There
are
very
few
scenarios
that
make
sense
for
kind
of
subdividing
it
and,
and
again
the
purpose
for
subdivision
really
would
from
a
program
impact
perspective.
Be
that
you
know
we
might
not
need
all
of
those
all
of
the
residences
to
contribute
to
the
agricultural
operation
and
the
the
future
management
of
this
property,
and
it
would
make
sense
to
to
subdivide
and
sell
one
of
those
residences
and
again
it.
R
You
know,
kind
of
from
a
structure
of
that
block
point
of
view.
There's
a
you
know:
it's
it's
kind
of
restricted
of
keeping
an
egg.
You
know
headquarters
area
together
versus
subdividing
off
a
residence,
and
so
there's
not
that
many
scenarios
under
which
that
could
happen,
her
sizes
or
anything.
So
if
you're
asking
you
know
what
size
with
the
property
B,
what
would
it
include?
R
You
know
it's
kind
of
residents
in
the
nearby
outbuildings
or
and
or
you
know
separate
from
the
agricultural
company,
the
the
farm
compound
you
know,
but
that
clarification
aside,
you
don't
you,
don't
have
to
do
this
and
we're
not
necessarily
married
to
this
concept.
It's
been,
you
know
in
in
talking
with
staff
and
in
this
and
other
properties.
It
really
is.
You
know
it
comes
up
a
lot.
Well,
what?
If
we
don't
need
the
house,
we
just
want
the
land.
J
Guess
the
question
I
would
have
for
you
guys
to
think
about
I
think
it'd
be
easy
to
get
us
to
pass.
A
second
motion
saying
the
board
recognizes
that
there
may
be
a
need
in
the
future
to
do
bla,
bla,
bla,
bla
bla,
but
I.
Don't
know
if
that
helps
you
any.
If
it
does
I
think
it
would
be
easy,
but
if
what
you
really
need
for
us
to
do
is
to
approve
a
disposal
which
is
I.
F
R
Probably
just
a
statement
that
we
could
include
in
in
within
the
board
minutes
and
and
the
recommendation
to
regarding
this
property
in
the
future.
Like.
B
A
service
cutting
mirror
but
Tom,
saying
in
that
you
know,
given
that
I
guess
I
didn't
read
that
this
was
a
definite
given
that
we
don't
know
what
we're
gonna
even
do
with
management
on
the
property,
and
we
haven't
really
fully
vetted.
The
property
I
feel
a
little
uncomfortable
to
go
ahead
and
dispose
it
if
we
don't
have
to
try
and
if
it's
not
contingent
or
effects
adverse
Lee
has
a
a
mine
on
everything
you
know
so
I
would
probably
feel
the
same
way
as
Tom
I've
helped
out.
F
R
O
O
R
That
would
be
noted
that
you
know
it
was
considered
that
when
the
acquisition
was
considered
this
was
discussed
and-
and
there
was
support
for
that
potential
Anna.
F
Q
Yes,
good
evening
again,
Dan
Burke
real
estate
services
supervisor
and
we're
going
to
keep
our
attention
on
Boulder
Valley
farm.
It's
the
night
of
bowl
of
Allie
farm,
as
you
can
imagine,
with
a
property
this
large
with
this
history,
there's
a
number
of
due
diligence
items
that
needs
to
be
resolved
prior
to
closing.
One
of
those
items
that
were
trying
to
resolve
before
acquisition
is
a
water
pipeline.
Easement
that
was
placed
and
executed
on
the
property
over
a
year
ago
and
I
will
walk
you
through
in
your
memo.
Q
I
think
it
describes
it
well,
but
I
will
walk
you
through
the
salient
points
of
what
we're
trying
to
do
and
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish.
In
May
of
2016
owners
of
the
Boulder
Valley
Farm,
granted
a
water
pipeline
easement
in
favor
of
the
farm
and
Boulder
Valley
homeowners
association.
This
water
pipeline
easement,
was
one
of
several
issues
addressed
in
a
settlement
agreement
between
Boulder
Valley
farm
and
the
homeowners
association.
Q
The
settlement
agreement
was
executed
to
resolve
issues
and
disputes
concerning
the
relationship
between
Boulder,
Valley,
Farm
and
Association
about
200
feet
of
this
water
pipe
line.
Easement
crosses
over
land.
That
is
encumbered
by
the
culvert
conservation
easement
that
OSP
is
responsible
for
overseeing,
while
the
culvert
conservation
easement
does
not
prohibit
Boulder
Valley
farm
from
granting
easements
over
land
subject
to
the
culvert
conservation
easement.
The
conservation
easement
does
stipulate
that
the
city
shall
approve
of
in
easements
prior
to
their
execution.
In
this
case,
OSP
was
not
informed.
Q
Ended
up,
provide
the
necessary
approval
prior
to
the
Boulder
Valley
Farm
granting
the
pipeline
easement,
because
the
water
pipeline
easement,
has
already
been
executed,
recorded
and
in
place,
and
the
conditions
to
the
settlement
agreement
in
which
the
water
pipe
line
easement
arose
has
been
satisfied.
The
parties
to
the
water
pipe
line
easement
will
not
voluntarily
terminate
the
pipeline
easement.
Q
Easement
area
decreased
by
half
the
maximum
size
of
the
pipe
diameter
that
would
be
allowed,
contain
restrictions
on
wind
construction
and
maintenance
maintenance
activities
can
occur
and
on
the
use,
restrict
the
use
of
motorized
vehicles
on
the
easement
parcel
demand
that
the
best
management
practices
are
adhered
to
and
that
a
reclamation
plan
that
the
city
has
approved
is
in
place
and
also,
and
perhaps,
very
importantly,
under
a
new
water
pipe
line.
Easement
the
city
will
be
a
party
to
the
easement
and
will
have
legal
standing
to
enforce
its
terms.
Q
City's
attorney's
office
has
been
working
very
closely
with
OSP
staff
and
utility
staff
and
is
recommending
that
if
OSP
grants,
approval
of
our
new
water
pipeline
easement
that
the
culvert
conservation
easement
be
amended
to
specifically
permit
the
installation
of
a
water
pipeline
and
strict
compliance
with
the
terms
of
the
new
water
pipeline.
Easement,
therefore,
OSP
staff
is
recommending
mending
recommends
that
we
amend
the
culvert
conservation
easement
to
permit
the
installation
of
a
water
pipeline
in
accordance
to
a
city
negotiated
water
pipeline
easement.
O
O
The
reason
I
asked
was
and
you've
solved
the
problem,
but
if
you,
if
we
owned
the
property
and
then
amended
an
easement
that
gets,
you
know
possibly
back
into
disposal,
that
would
that
would
be
disposable
and
that's
for
doing
it
beforehand
and
then
you're
buying
the
new
thing.
I.
Don't
think
anyone
could
accuse
us
of
having
disposed
of
something
but
and.
Q
This-
and
the
second
point
there
tom
is,
is
that,
if
do
it
during
any
of
the
due
diligence
phases,
the
acquisition
that
the
acquisition
falls
by
the
wayside,
that
this
is
a
separate
action
that
would
still
that
would
still
occur,
no
matter
the
fate
of
the
acquisition.
Your
so,
therefore
they
are
to
two
separate
items,
and-
and
a
lot
of
this
has
been
worked
through
in
and
consultation
with,
City
Attorney's
office.
B
How
did
we
find
out
that
they
were
out
of
compliance
cuz?
The
C
was
1992
was
that,
just
in
due
diligence
that
we
found
out
or.
Q
Well,
it
was
executed
in
May
of
2016
and
we
found
out
November
of
2017
their
2016
November
2016
at
the
time
that
we
were
in
pretty
well
along
and
negotiations
for
the
purchase.
So
we
actually
had
the
pad
to
set
the
purchase
negotiations
aside
in
order
to
deal
with
this
conservation
easement
issue,
so
it
postponed
our
our
acquisition
talks.
While
we
put
attention
and
resources
towards
this
in
the
settlement
agreement
and
then
the
water
pipe
line
easement,
it
does
mention
that
they
need
to
get
the
approvals
that
they
needed.
O
Can
I
ask
its
sorry
for
the
league
atoms,
but
when
we
amend
an
easement?
Is
that
a
just
an
approval
by
us,
or
is
that
a
recommendation
that
has
to
go
to
council
its.
Q
Yes,
and
just
for
clarification,
there
is
a
definition
of
minor
and
major
and
and
minor
staff
can
actually
carry
out
that
when
then
sitting
down
with
City
Attorney's
office,
we
asked
all
those
questions.
We
determined
that
this
really
should
go
before
the
board,
but
it
doesn't
need
to
go
to
council.
My
guess
is
the
second
question:
depart.
O
B
O
O
J
A
J
That
the
open
space
Board
of
Trustees
and
then
we
need
to
get
rid
of
the
word
of
to
their
approve
amendment
of
the
Culver
conservation
easement
to
permit
the
installation
of
a
water
pipeline
in
accordance
with
the
city
negotiated
water
pipeline
easement.
Pursuant
to
a
settlement
agreement
between
