Okay,
second,
the
nomination,
okay,
any
other
nominations
to
be
the
vice
chair,
then
all
in
favor
of
Curt
brown,
as
vice
chair
of
the
open
space
Board
of
Trustees,
that's
unanimous.
Now.
The
third
is
election
of
our
secretary,
which
has
been
lega
case
for
quite
a
few
years
now,
I
spoke
with
Lea
and
I.
Understand
you're
interested
in
continuing
to
serve.
E
E
Okay,
so
the
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
public
participation
for
items
not
identified
for
public
hearing,
which
would
be
anything
other
than
the
honoring
of
the
volunteer
services.
So
we
have
two
people
signed
up
and
just
come
on
down
the
first
and
as
always,
apologies
if
I
butcher
anyone's
name.
The
first
is
silane
Thal
ins
and
the
second
is
Kathy
Joyner.
J
Hi
I
want
to
thank
the
board
for
its
best
support
in
moving
the
South
Boulder
Creek
flood
mitigation
project
along
over
the
past
few
years.
The
thousands
of
us
who
live
in
harm's
way
very
much
appreciate
your
efforts.
For
decades,
the
city
of
Boulder
has
tried
to
implement
the
South
Boulder
flood
mitigation
to
protect
those
of
us
down
straight
downstream
of
us
36.
J
Now
that
we
have
concepts
for
an
effective
mitigation
alternative
and
the
necessary
partnerships
in
place.
Please
seize
this
once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity
to
improve
the
health
and
safety
of
so
many
of
us
living
in
harm's
way.
Flash
floods
potentially
worse
than
the
ones
we've
known
in
2013
can
happen
any
time
our
lives
and
the
lives
of
our
loved
ones
depend
on
your
decision
to
move
this
project
along
as
fast
as
possible.
Thank.
K
Me
Kathy
Joyner,
4960,
Koala
Drive
once
again,
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
your
support
for
the
for
this.
For
the
past
support
of
the
South
Boulder
Creek
flood
mitigation
project
you've
been
a
significant.
You
have
had
a
significant
role
and
how
far
we've
come
over
the
last
five
years-
and
we
appreciate
your
concern
we
understand,
and
in
the
coming
weeks
or
months,
staff
will
be
presenting
several
conceptual
flood
mitigation
alternatives
to
you
for
your
opinion.
K
We
are
hopeful
that
one,
if
not
all,
will
not
only
be
an
effective
flood
mitigation
plan
but
will
also
contribute
to
enhancements
to
city
open
space.
Like
you,
we
are
all
concerned
about
the
health
of
city
open
space.
It's
one
of
the
things
that
makes
Boulder
so
unique.
We
are
hopeful
that
positive
potential
positives
for
Oh
SNP
lands
will
become
a
viable
part
of
the
flood
mitigation
solution.
Please
keep
the
downstreamers
in
mind.
K
It
is
this
project
moves
forward,
as
so
many
of
us
continue
to
live
in
harm's
way
after
almost
five
years
since
the
catastrophic
flooding.
We
very
much
your
continuing
support
in
helping
to
get
this
critical
flood
mitigation
project
completed
as
soon
as
possible.
As
you
know,
our
lives
and
safety
depend
upon
it.
Thank
you.
Thank.
L
Our
first
item
is
an
update
on
the
draft
2018
work
plan
and
budget
while
Lauren's
getting
set
up,
though
I
would
like
to
highlight
that
you
have
a
flier
in
front
of
you
for
a
mountain
lion,
research
presentation
and
that's
at
tomorrow
night
and
it's
from
6:30
to
8:00
at
the
Boulder
County
Courthouse.
In
the
third
floor.
L
M
M
M
So
you've,
probably
heard
by
now
citywide
we
have
a
flattening
revenue
from
from
retail
sales
and
use
tax,
and
we've
sort
of
over
the
last
few
years
been
preparing
for
this
situation.
The
last
couple
years
and
we've
come
to
these
presentations.
We've
said
you
know,
there's
mixed
economic
indicators.
It's
not
super
clear,
what's
happening
in
Boulder
as
it
compares
to
the
state
and
national
economy
and
we've
built
really
conservative
budgets.
Just
saying
we
need
to
till
wait
and
see
what
happens.
M
We
need
to
be
appropriate
in
our
spending
as
we've
as
we
figure
out
what
those
numbers
will
look
like.
So
now
it's
looking
like
we
know
a
little
bit
more
and
we'll
be
getting
real
numbers
from
the
budget
office
in
the
next
few
weeks,
but
as
if
now
we're
operating
on
kind
of
an
O
gross
revenue
scenario,
we're
not
talking
about
declining
revenues,
but
just
that
they've,
leveled
off
and
flattened,
and-
and
we
want
to
be
again
appropriate
and
conservative
as
we
approach
2019.
M
So
our
CIP
and
our
operating
budget
will
reflect
not
changing
revenue
forecasts
and
and
will
continue
to
get
information
from
our
partners
in
finance
over
the
next
several
months.
That
will
inform
the
budgets
that
you
see
and
as
that
as
that
affects
OS
MP,
we're
actually
in
a
really
good
position,
as
we
think
about
flattening
revenues,
because
we've
known
that
these
two
expiring
sales
tax
increments
were
coming
basically,
since
they
were
voted
on,
we've
planned
on
2019
and
2020
being
a
time
for
four
o
S&P
revenues
to
level
off.
M
So
this
certainly
adds
a
level
of
intensity.
But
we
feel,
like
we've-
we've
been
getting
ready
for
this
for
several
years.
So
when
we
come
next
month,
what
you'll
see
in
our
fund
financial
is
continuing.
Our
strong
reserves,
a
couple
years
ago,
we
increase
contingency
reserve
to
be
20%
of
our
operating
in
debt
costs
because
we
recognized
how
sales
tax
dependent
the
department
is,
and
we've
maintained,
fund
balance
again
preparing
for
this
day.
We've
also
incorporated
appropriate
debt
payments.
So
10
years
ago,
when
we
issued
the
oh
six
and
oh
seven
general
obligation
bonds.
M
Those
repayment
schedules
were
timed
with
the
expiring
sales
tax
increments
over
the
next
two
years,
so
we'll
make
final
payments
on
the
oh
seven
bond
next
year,
and
oh
six
after
that,
and
so
you'll
see
a
significant
decrease
in
our
annual
debt
service
moving
forward.
We
will
also
reflect
all
of
our
improved
work
planning
efforts.
M
And
finally,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
balancing
our
approach
and
that
we're
looking
at
all
our
functions
and
expenditure
types
equally,
so
we
will
be
looking
at
some
budget
reductions
in
the
2019
budget,
mostly
from
process
improvements
and
business
efficiencies.
But
what
we
don't
want
to
do
is
say:
okay,
we've
got
flattening
revenues,
let's
cut
our
capital
investment
or,
let's
cut
our
operating
budgets.
We
want
to
take
a
really
holistic
approach
and
make
sure
that
it's
balanced
across
all
of
the
parts
of
our
fund,
financial.
M
And
you
may
have
also
heard
or
seen
stories
about
the
general
fund
lately
and
the
four
million
dollar
gaps
that
they've
been
working
to
make
up,
and
so
what
the?
What
our
partners
in
finance
have
asked
from
general
funded
departments
is
a
five
percent
reduction
in
expenditures
for
2019
will
actually
be
matching
that
five
percent
over
the
the
six
year,
CIP
horizon
and
again
most
of
that
was
planned.
M
That
was
looking
at
how
we're
dealing
with
our
debt
moving
on
from
FEMA
reimbursable
flood
recovery
projects,
which
were
very
expensive
and
saying
what
is
it
we
want
to
spend
on
an
annual
basis
when
we're
not
responding
to
an
emergency,
so
we
feel
like
it
will
be
5%
over
six
years,
but
I
think
it
shows
a
great
approach.
Inconsistency
citywide
that,
even
though,
were
not
primarily
funded
by
the
general
fund.
We're
taking
this
really
seriously
and
approaching.
This
is
really
good.
M
Stewards
of
public
dollars,
we'll
also
be
focusing
on
D
obligating,
our
capital
carryover,
and
this
was
something
that
we
talked
about
last
year.
As
we've
been
responding
to
the
flood
and
completing
FEMA
reimbursable
flood
recovery
projects,
we've
had
a
number
of
previously
funded
projects
like
from
the
2012
and
2013
work
plans
that
we've
been
deferring.
So
we've
been
carrying
those
dollars
on
our
budget
for
for
several
years,
not
knowing
when
we
could
bring
them
back
onto
the
work
plan
and
also
not
knowing
what
flood
recovery
was
going
to
cost.
M
So
we
didn't
want
to
deallocate
money
and
then
need
it
if
a
flood
recovery
project
was
particularly
expensive
and
we're
not
done
yet.
We've
still
got
a
few
few
more
flood
recovery
projects
out
there,
but
we're
in
a
place
now
where
we
know
those
true
costs,
and
we
know
that
we
don't
actually
need
to
keep
obligating
those
dollars
each
year.
M
And
finally,
this
will
be
a
focus
of
July
and
August,
but
I
do
just
want
to
put
it
out
there
that
you
will
be
seeing
some
some
expiring
physicians
throughout
this
budget
process
and
our
approach
has
been
to
focus
on
attrition,
retirements
and
natural
turnover
and
looking
at
okay
with
a
vacancy.
What's
the
greatest
department
need
for
that
position
or
have
we
found
any
number
of
business
efficiencies
that
tell
us?
We
no
longer
need
the
position,
so
I'll
use
an
example
for
my
workgroup
and
it's
actually
it's
a
win
win.
M
It's
a
win
for
us
and
a
win
for
our
customers.
I
think
you
may
have
heard
we've
gone,
live
with
annual
parking
permit
sales,
online,
commercial
and
special
use
permits
online.
We've.
We've
identified
all
this
technology
that
we
could
utilize
to
reallocate
some
of
the
staff
time
in
the
business
services
workgroup
to
the
point
where
we
can
actually
expire
in
admin
position
through
this
budget
process.
So
that's
really
our
focus.
Where
are
their
efficiencies?
M
So
shifting
gears
a
little
bit
I
put
department
priorities
up
there
and
and
was
reminded
that
this
certainly
does
not
capture
all
of
our
work.
We
have
any
number
of
core
services
that
we're
going
to
be
continuing
to
do,
but
this
is
just
say
in
light
of
the
system
overview
report,
in
light
of
all
of
the
capital
and
other
projects
that
we've
got
coming
online.
M
So
this
the
the
department
priorities
for
2019
are
a
little
bit
of
a
hybrid
of
what
you
saw
last
year
and
the
system
overview
report,
and
we
hope
that,
as
we
move
forward
with
the
master
plan,
any
any
department
priority
would
align
with
recommendations
of
the
master
plan,
but
we're
in
this
interim
time
right
now,
so
you'll
see
that
most
of
these
align
with
with
those
snapshots
from
that
report
and
of
course
our
role-
is
to
continue
to
work
on
the
master
plan
and
complete
it
in
2019.
Continue,
our
water
and
floodplain
management.
M
We
have
a
number
of
non
FEMA
flood
recovery
projects
that
we'll
continue
to
work
on,
as
well
as
our
as
our
other
floodplain
work,
to
preserve
and
restore
our
natural
resources,
preserve
and
enhance
our
agricultural
resources
and
and
a
lot
of
those
recommendations
will
come
out
of
the
AG
plan
from
2017,
facilitate
visitor
enjoyment,
maintain
facilities
and
amenities
connect
people
with
nature.
This
next
one
is
a
little
bit
of
a
hybrid.
Do
you
saw
last
year
focus
on
regional
trails,
so
it
was
brought
in
that
and
look
at
regional
collaboration
and
any
number
of
friends.
M
How
do
we
deal
with
species
that
migrate
across
our
land
and
county
land
and
making
sure
that
we're
taking
a
holistic
approach
to
that?
So
we've
we've
shifted
that
to
be
regional
collaboration
and
then
again,
we'll
have
a
focus
on
continuous
improvement,
we're
making
big
investments
in
project
management,
training
and
work
planning,
as
I've
already
mentioned,
and
we
want
to
continue
to
get
better
at
how
we
steward
the
land
and
these
dollars
and
make
sure
we're
we're
just
always
improving
and
these
you're
probably
used
to
seeing
and
they
they
haven't
changed
and
I.
M
Think
this
kind
of
reflects
the
theme
we
talked
about
last
year
of
starting
to
shift
toward
stewardship
increased
investment
in
stewardship
activities.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
our
first
priority
in
our
CIP
and
our
operating
budget
is
to
take
care
of
what
we
have
first
and
while
we've
spent
the
last
four
years
recovering
from
a
flood.
M
We
know
any
number
of
deferred
maintenance
projects
have
built
up
and
now's
the
time
to
start
getting
back
to
that
and
and
taking
care
of
the
land
system,
as
we
had
plan
to
before
before
the
flood
happened,
but
stick
to
the
plan,
adapt
and
learn
safety
first.
These
are
these
are
kind
of
the
cornerstones
of
how
we're
approaching
our
work
plan
in
our
budget
process.
M
So
our
focus
again
is
on
stewardship
and
building
conservative
budgets
and
making
sure
that
everything
we
do
doesn't
just
get
us
through
19,
but
sets
us
up
for
success
over
the
entire
six-year
planning
horizon
and
beyond
we're
also
developing
a
master
plan,
and
that
policy
issue
focuses
on
efforts
to
date
and
the
process
committee
and
how
we're
looking
at
those
engagement
windows
and
engaging
our
community.
The
master
plan
also
has
financial
implications
and
will
have
fiscal,
fiscally
constrained
and
action
planning
and
kind
of
vision
scenarios
coming
out
of
the
master
plan.
M
Campus
relocation-
that's
come
up
for
the
last
couple
of
years,
we'll
be
moving
to
our
interim
hub
location
in
July
and
at
that
time
we'll
be
forming
an
internal
team
to
start
thinking
about
the
long-term
vision
for
our
campus
and
what
that
looks
like
and
through
this
policy
issue.
We're
actually
saying
that
our
preference
right
now
is
to
redevelop
the
cherryvale
site
for
a
number
of
reasons.
M
But
when
we
get
into
that
interim
location
is
when
our
staff
team
will
really
start
to
to
put
together
a
plan
for
that
and
make
sure
there
are
no
fatal
flaws
and
that
we
have
backups
and
we're
thinking
about
this
well
in
advance.
And
we
expect
that
to
take
anywhere
from
three
to
five
five
years
around
to
devote
to
really
plan
for
that
future
space.
M
It's
probably
worth
noting
in
the
2018
approved
budget,
the
campus
relocation
shows
up
under
land,
and
that
was
because
we
didn't
know
if
we
would
have
to
acquire
a
parcel
for
our
future
space,
and
so
by
saying
our
preference
is
Cherry
Valley.
What
you'll
notice
in
the
2019
CIP
is
that
that
shifts
out
of
land
acquisition,
that
funding
and
it
will
move
into
new
facility
infrastructure
as
a
category
so
I
know
that
was
it's
a
point
of
confusion
and
we,
we
didn't
know
enough
to
say
last
year
how
we
were
going
to
approach
that
project.
M
So
that's
a
shift
that
you'll
see
and
finally
again
this
will
be
more
of
a
focus
in
July
and
August,
but
we're
always
looking
at
our
internal
operations
and
staffing
approach.
I've
already
talked
about
work
planning
and
project
management
and
process
improvements,
but
every
year
for
the
last
four
years,
we've
submitted
a
staffing,
related
policy
issue
to
the
executive
budget
team
and
2015.
We
had
an
organizational
assessment
and
reorganized
the
way
some
of
those
work
groups
were
structured
in
the
department
in
2016
and
17.
M
We
job
studied
a
hundred
percent
of
our
standard
positions
in
the
department
and
some
of
them
hadn't
been
studied
since
about
2000.
So
that
was
a
huge
undertaking
and
simultaneously
we
were
working
on
employee
classification
with
the
affordable
care
act
in
the
city
living
wage,
where
we
had
seasonal
and
temporary
staff.
Working
nine
months:
well,
that's
not
a
season
there
they're
a
part
of
our
ongoing
operations
and
let's
treat
them
appropriately
and
make
sure
that
they
have
appropriate
benefits
through
the
Affordable
Care
Act.
M
So,
even
though
that
wasn't
a
change
in
headcount,
it
was
a
change
in
our
FTE.
Sixteen
point:
seven
five
positions,
so
it
was
a
change
of
twelve
FTE
and
you'll
notice
that
when
we
bring
our
operating
materials
and
finally
last
year
we
managed
our
fixed
term
positions.
So
we
had
11
fixed
term
positions
across
the
department
and
we
converted
six
of
them
to
ongoing.
M
We
extended
one
fixed
term
position
for
another
two
years
and
we
were
able
to
expire
four
positions
because
they
were
created
for
succession
planning
or
one-time
projects
and
those
things
sort
of
happened
as
we
expected
them
to
and
we
were
able
to
expire
those
positions
last
year.
So
again,
our
focus
is
on
attrition
moving
forward.
How
can
we
repurpose
positions
or
reduce
our
FTE
through
efficiencies
and
use?
All
of
those
assessment
results
from
facilities
and
trails
condition
our
org
assessment
to
inform
our
budget
and
the
way
that
we
handle
EFT
moving
forward.
M
I
Be
happy
to
start
thank
you
as
always,
I'll
try
to
keep
this
at
a
high
level,
because
I
think
that's
appropriate
for
where
we
are
right
now
and
it's
great
we're
having
this
discussion
early.
But
it
just
seems
to
me
this
is
a
special
year
for
the
budget
for
multiple
reasons,
but
the
main
one
being
this
fiscal
year,
we're
planning
for
in
the
next
one.
We
lose
how
many
million
in
revenue.
I
I
We're
also
going
into
a
master
planning
process
or
were
in
it
and
to
me
it's
a
certainty
that
Budget
and
Finance
is
going
to
be
a
focus
area
for
discussion
and
so
I
think
that
puts
a
special
burden
on
the
ability
of
these
budget
documents
to
explain
all
of
this
to
people
that
never
look
at
these
budget
documents
and
so
I
think
we
have
to
find
ways
to
tell
at
least
a
couple
of
stories
really.
Clearly.
I
One
is
the
budget
challenges
we
face
in
the
next
two
years
and
then
ongoing,
because
to
me
they
seem
enormous.
You
guys
been
figuring
out
how
to
deal
with
them
for
a
lot
longer
than
we
have
so
I.
Think
you're,
not
as
panicked
as
some
of
us
are,
but
the
public
may
or
may
not
understand
that.
So
what
are
the
budget
challenges
that
we
face
and
that
would
include
reconstructing
a
campus
for
for
the
department.
I
The
other
would
be
the
things
you've
been
doing
and
will
be
doing
to
adapt
to
these
big
changes
in
our
inflow
of
of
revenue.
You
enumerated
a
number
of
them,
but
I
would
look
for
ways
to
have
those
stories
told
clearly
up
front,
partly
because
we're
going
to
want
to
steal
all
that
and
use
it
in
the
master
plan.
Discussions
and
that's
gonna
be
difficult.
I
I
mean
worries
I'm,
starting
to
get
used
to
looking
at
these
of
budgets,
but
we're
gonna
have
a
lot
of
the
public
involved
that
they
may
know
a
lot
about
open
space.
They're,
not
they're,
not
budget
walks
necessarily,
and
it's
going
to
be
important
to
describe
the
challenges
or
adaptation
and
the
choices
that
this
forces
us
into
because
frankly,
I
mean
I
had
I
got
out
my
computer
and
tried
to
calculate
the
amount
of
money
we're
losing.
I
D
D
The
other
thing
that
I'm
concerned
about
is
the
major
challenges
that
we
still
have
on
our
plate
and
in
a
declining
budget.
How
we
we
address
those
and
it's
clear
to
me
that
it's
going
to
be
very
important
to
keep
focusing
on
taking
care
of
what
we
have
and
avoid
new
initiatives
that
cost
more
money
in
a
declining
budget.
So
I
think
all
of
those
things
bear
really
clear
presentations
of
information
to
the
public
on
the
order
of
things
like
infographics
and
tables
rather
than
complex
budget.
H
Build
off
of
that
with
all
of
these
budget
documents,
we
always
do
a
great
job
of
looking
into
the
future,
but
very
rarely
is
enough
of
the
past
captured
in
a
way-
that's
really
accessible.
So
you
know
going
one
year
back,
that's
great,
but
to
really
have
that
that
sense
of
trends,
seeing
the
contraction
that
the
department
has
already
undergone
to
some
extent
and
being
able
to
compare
that
to
the
cliff
we're
about
to
go
off,
I
think
would
help
to
give
the
community
scale
of
what
we're
talking
about.
C
On
her
building
on
I
think
one
thing
that
might
also
be
helpful
is
to
put
in
concrete
nuggets
of
like
what
was
acquired
or
spent
like
last
year.
We
spent
four
million
dollars
on
properties.
We
bought
this
many
acres.
These
named
these
are
the
you
know,
a
couple
of
names
or
whatever
just
something
like
that,
so
we
get
a
sense
of
like
okay.
Our
normal
budget
is
10
million
bucks
for
acquisition.
C
We
bought
five
prop
with
ten
million
bucks
the
year
before
we
spent
twelve
million
dollars
and
got
eight
properties
or
whatever
you
think
is
valuable,
so
that
we
have
a
sense
of
what
we
get
out
of
it.
I
also
think,
especially
for
a
lot
of
these
CIP
projects
dealing
with
TSA
implementation,
regional
trails,
things
like
that.
Often
those
are
big
single
projects
right.
So
it's
a
regional
trail
project
like
the
extension
of
the
Canyon
Trail,
or
something
where
it's
like
a
big
project.
A
lot
of
money
goes
in.
C
E
M
C
E
I
Tom
and
probably
Karen,
it's
also
answers
I,
think
we're
talking
maybe
to
two
different
things:
I'm
I'm
begging
in
addition
to
the
budget
process,
I,
was
thinking
more
providing
information
into
the
focus
area.
Discussions
as
part
of
the
master
plan;
yeah,
not
a
revision
to
the
to
the
system
overview
but
Karen
you
maybe
we're
thinking
a
little
differently.
I
D
It
seems
like
they're,
both
similar
in
terms
of
timelines,
whether
it
comes
to
us
as
part
of
the
these
sequence
of
budget
oriented
meetings
or
in
terms
of
the
June
joint
study
session
with
council.
It
seems
to
me
they
both
converge
in
terms
of
the
timeline,
but
I
think
the
information
is
relevant
to
both
of
those
decision-making
processes.
D
C
The
long
run
this
is
really
valuable
and
for
public
outreach
I
think
it's
really
helpful,
but
for
my
own
sake
you
know
in
my
last
year
on
this
after
every
year
we
look
at
the
budgets
and
it's
a
bunch
of
numbers
and
some
numbers
are
more
number,
are
bigger
and
some
numbers
are
smaller.
It's
really
hard
to
evaluate
and
ask
our
opinion
when
what
I
don't
know,
there's
two
million
dollars
too
much
for
this.
C
If
you
said
this
is
what
two
million
dollars
is
getting
us,
this
is
what
two
million
dollars
got
us
last
year
or
five
years
ago.
That
might
give
me
a
real
sense
of
whether
or
not
the
priorities
that
are
outlined
here
match
what
you
described
for
the
department
right
now,
whether
regardless
of
the
master
plan
in
the
future,
if
you
would
like
an
opinion
on
what
is
good
about
the
budget
or
what
should
be
changed,
it's
helpful
to
know
what
the
numbers
are
buying
us.
That's
all
I'm
asking
for.
E
And
I
elaborate
on
that
with
to
sort
of
specific
asks,
this
maybe
more
on
the
master
plan
side,
but
I
think
Karen
may
be
right
there.
It
all
comes
together
in
June,
but
I,
that's
not
so
far
from
now
and
I
don't
want
to
see.
You
know,
that's
an
unreasonable
timeline
that
you
know
we
say
so,
but
one
is
sort
of
matching
the
future
dollars
for
acquisitions
against
the
acquisition
plan
and
to
have
some
done.
E
I
realize,
there's
lots
of
possible
scenarios,
but
to
have
something
that
allows
the
public
to
see
based
on
what
we're
now
projecting.
How
does
that
match
up
against
the
acquisition,
and
you
know,
does
that
what
either
in
terms
of
what
percentage
of
the
plan
we'll
be
able
to
accomplish-
and
you
know
five
years
out
ten
years
out
twenty
years
out
or
some
sensible
planning
horizon
to
allow
people
to
see?
Oh
well,
given
the
kind
of
dollars
we
have.
E
Where
do
we
think
we're
going
to
be
five
ten
years
from
now
in
terms
of
the
acquisition
plan?
Do
we
get
a
large
chunk
of
the
way
there
or
are
we
just
you
know
nibbling
a
small
fraction
of
it?
They
think
that's
something
that
is
a
little
hard
to
do
when
you
just
see
two
sets
of
numbers,
there's
an
acquisition
plan
at
five
thousand
acres
and
here's
the
stream
of
money
to
sort
of
bring
those
two
together
and
the
other
is
to
match
the
dollars
against
the
particularly
the
on
the
maintenance
side.
E
L
But
rest
assured
that
the
desire
you
have
is
also
the
desire
we
have
and
I
think
building
the
financial
scenarios
and
for
the
master
plan
process
will
be
helpful
for
all
all
us,
but
I
kind
of
need
to
manage
expectations
a
little
bit
and
and
but
we,
the
questions,
are
really
helpful.
The
policy
issues
you're
you're
lifting
up
for
us
are
really
helpful
and
we'll
bring
back
best.
We
can
for
the
next
couple
of
months.
G
M
L
Next
step
we
have
is
an
update
on
agricultural
resources,
master
plan
implementation
combined
with
AG
agricultural
center
update
and
since
they're,
getting
ready,
also
I'm
going
to
take
another
opportunity
to
mention
that
the
early
reports
on
the
Raptor
nesting
season
is
there's
quite
a
bit
of
exciting
activity
out
there
and
it's
a
pretty
promising
looking
season.
I,
don't
know
if
today's
wind
caused
a
lot
of
trouble,
but
we'd
like
to
report
out
to
the
board
later
and
the
season
of
course,
but
I
just
wanted
to.
N
N
You
all
recall
that
we
passed
the
egg
egg
plan,
I'm
gonna
abbreviate
it
to
egg
plan,
there's
a
lot
of
words
to
get
out
when
he's
the
agricultural
resources
management
plan,
but
we
passed
the
and
last
July
after
a
pretty
significant
outreach
to
the
community,
including
the
agricultural
community,
and
we
all
know
that
the
plan
is
broad
in
scope
and
we
hope
provides
us
some
good
direction
for
us
to
continue
to
develop.
The
agricultural
program
to
meet
community
needs.
N
And
also
it
kind
of
solidified,
some
of
the
ecological
integration
concepts
that
were
identified
in
the
grassland
management
plan,
and
it
also
provided
a
lots
of
new
direction
and
ideas
for
us
to
build,
build
on
for
community
connections
and
partnerships
and
that's
an
opportunity
that
Curry's
going
to
speak
to
you
a
little
in
a
few
minutes
here.
In.
N
But
really
we
wanted
these
rates
to
recognize
the
value
of
the
stewardship
of
our
property
that
the
agriculture
agricultural
tenants
bring.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
lease
rates
are
reflective
of
the
intensity
of
the
current
uses.
On
the
land-
and
you
know
most
importantly-
we
want
to
maintain
an
economically
viable
opportunity
for
these
these
folks
without
the
agricultural
community.
N
We
certainly
can't
stewardess
agricultural
properties
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
all
these
numbers,
but
the
slide
does
show
the
proposed
rates
that
we
helped
and
and
seemed
to
be
supported
by
the
agricultural
community
during
the
listening
sessions
and
for
reference
on
the
right
side
of
that
graphic.
You
see
Boulder
County
parks
and
open
space
rates.
N
They're
our
closest
partner
in
the
spear
in
this
programmatic
area
were
somewhat
close
to
them
a
little
on
the
cheaper
side,
and
these
seem
to
be
rates
that
everybody
was
comfortable
with
to
move
forward
and
we'll
start
using
these
rates.
As
we
negotiate
renewed
leases,
and
you
know,
I
think
we
all
believe
that
these
rates
seem
to
reflect
the
primary
objectives
of
what
we
were
trying
to
achieve
in
the
plan.
N
So
as
far
as
next
steps
for
this
year,
we
will
start
working
with
the
individual
tenants.
There
was
good
agreement
on
the
rates,
although
you
could
tell
in
the
crowd
that
there's
still
some
uncertainty
of
exactly
how
that's
going
to
impact
them.
So
we
want
to
take
some
time
this
year
to
work
more
fully
with
them
on
an
individual
basis
and
the
to
agricultural
staff.
N
We
do
have
to
stewardship
plans
for
each
of
them
in
the
work
plan,
so
a
total
of
four
stewardship
plans
to
develop
in
2018,
so
they'll
work
on
those
as
a
staff
effort
in
the
listening
sessions.
One
topic
that
raised
a
lot
of
discussion
was
how
important
the
agricultural
housing
is
to
our
group
of
tenants.
We
had
a
really
good
dialogue.
The
day
of
that
listening
session.
N
It
brought
up
some
questions
that
really
need
some
staff
work
before
we
can
move
forward
strongly
in
that
area.
We
want
to
make
sure
we
work
this
year
to
develop
a
better
understanding
of
the
demand,
so
we'll
work
on
that
as
we're
discussing
the
lease
rates.
We
also
want
to
get
a
better
understanding
of
what
the
regional
practices
are.
N
We
heard
different
stories
in
that
room
of
how
they're
accommodating
their
agricultural
workers,
and
so
we
want
to
understand
what's
happening
within
the
region,
and
another
thing
that's
important
for
the
department
is
the
revenue
that
we
get
currently
received
for
the
residential
program
goes
to
manage
those
structures.
Us
we
want
to
take
a
look
at
how
if
we
change
all
of
these
into
agricultural
housing,
how
is
that
going
to
impact
that
program
and
will
also
not
all
of
the
houses
may
be
suitable
for
use
in
for
the
agricultural
tenants?
N
So
so
some
staff
work
there,
and
hopefully
we
can
come
back
at
a
later
time
with
some
some
work
done
there
and
we've
been
working
hard.
We
also
heard
from
the
agriculture
community
that
there
was
some
lots
of
infrastructure
maintenance
that
needed
to
be
completed.
We've
worked
hard
over
since
the
plan,
implementation
or
plan
completion,
and
also
this
year
we
do
plan
to
fully
utilize
capital
budgets.
We
we
fully
utilize
plus
use
some
reserves
last
year,
so
we
have
a
lot
of
momentum
moving
forward
there.
N
And
lastly,
we
want
to
see
how
our
talks
go
with
the
agricultural
tenants
this
year
and
determine
future
communication
strategies,
try
to
get
a
good
feel
for
do.
We
need
to
do
listening
sessions
again
next
spring,
or
are
we
getting
enough
dialogue
as
we
work
on
these
lease
rates,
so
that
that
is
what
I
hope
to
accomplish
by
the
end
of
this
year,
we'll
see
if
we
can
meet
those
goals
before
I
open
up
for
questions
so
I
want
to
let
curry
get
through
her
part
of
the
presentation.
O
I'm,
curry,
Rosato
education
supervisor,
with
open
space,
mountain
parks
and
also
project
manager
for
this
phase
of
our
agriculture
center
project.
So
I'm
very
excited
to
give
you
an
update
tonight.
Next,
so
take
a
peek
at
this
graphic.
Here,
it's
a
lovely,
Wordle
and
I
wanted
to
highlight
you.
Might
you
might
be
thinking
what
is
an
agriculture
center
and
some
of
the
words
on
here?
O
These
are
all
guiding
principles
as
that
we're
discussing
and
this
early
stage
of
an
agriculture
Center
so
take
a
moment
to
imagine.
A
school
bus
pulls
up
to
an
open
space
property,
an
agriculture
center
and
outcome,
50
eager
third-grade
learners
to
learn
about
local
farming
and
ranching
techniques
and
to
maybe
taste
the
food
themselves
or
imagine
on
an
evening
a
group
of
farmers
and
ranchers
and
community
members
that
are
gathered
together
to
learn
from
an
expert,
maybe
a
local
expert,
maybe
an
expert
from
somewhere
else
in
the
country.
O
So
an
update
on
we're
out
here
as
a
staff,
we've
been
meeting
with
the
boulder
open
space
Conservancy
our
amazing
partners
that
we're
working
with
to
steward
the
land
and
to
help
provide
value-added
services
to
to
our
current
work
and
one
of
the
focus
areas
for
Bosque
folder,
open
space.
Conservancy
is
community
connections
to
food
and
the
project
related
to
that
is
this
agriculture
concept.
O
This
concept
of
a
potential
agriculture,
Center
I,
just
wanted
to
to
be
sure
that
everyone
knows
that
our
conversations
are
guided
by,
of
course,
our
Charter
purposes,
but
also
what's
laid
out
in
the
agriculture
resources
management
plan,
many
of
which
are
in
the
visitor
integration.
Section
Bosque's
work
on
this
project
is
certainly
looking
towards
providing
value-added
services
that
are
consistent
with
the
aggregate,
the
AG
plan.
So
our
next
steps
are
to
have
listening
sessions
as
we
are
meeting
and
having
conversations
around
the
potential
for
an
agriculture
center,
it's
important
to
check
in
with
the
community.
O
You
know
that
very
well
and
so
we're
planning
to
have
listening
sessions.
The
first
one
will
be
next,
I
will
I
shall
say
there
was
a.
There
was
a
pilot
listening
session
through
with
our
partners
with
with
our
Bosco
partners
through
a
farm
forum.
O
Actually
is
the
follow
up
from
Andy
series
of
listening
sessions
and
then
in
early
May.
We're
gonna
have
focus
groups
to
hear
about
what's
important
and
what
do
you
envision
in
an
agriculture
center
from
some
key
focus
groups
such
as
the
Latino
community,
as
well
as
our
educator
friends
and
the
education
community,
Farm
to
School,
community
and
school
district,
and
then
we
are
excited
for
a
large
community
listening
session
on
May,
17th
and
that'll,
be
in
a
World
Cafe
style
that
I
won't
get
into
the
details.
O
E
Okay,
thanks
Currie
and
Andy
Kevin
and.
C
N
I
I
There
were
120
550
people,
yeah
I
mean
probably
we
shouldn't
say
that
in
front
of
the
fire
marshal,
but
it
was
packed
and
the
energy
was
tremendous,
and
so
anyway,
it
just
gives
you
a
taste
of
the
interest
areas
across
Boulder
County
and
lots
of
different
interests
that
could
come
together
around
an
agricultural
center.
So
I
thought
they
did
a
great
job,
managing
all
that
energy,
and
so
it
was
just
a
lot
of
fun
to
participate
in.
I
So
thanks
curry
for
making
sure
I
got
there
and
then
the
listening
session
that
I
got
to
the
one
you
had
last
week,
I
guess
now:
I
was
just
struck
by
what
challenge
housing
is
for
our
AG
partners.
I
guess
I
shouldn't
be
surprised,
I
mean
everybody
in
Boulder
struggles
with
affordable
housing
and
we've
got.
You
know,
25,000
students
that
are
on
top
of
that,
all
looking
for
a
place
to
live,
and
so
it's
it
shouldn't
be
too
much
of
a
surprise
that
folks,
that
are
seasonal
labor
for
agriculture
really
gets
squeezed
out
and
I.
I
Think,
as
this
generation
of
farm
families
moves
out
and
we're
trying
to
get
the
next
generation
in
I
think
that
issue
is
just
going
to
get
more
and
more
difficult
because
we
may
you
know
we
may
not
have
as
many
of
our
farmers
and
lessees
living
in
their
historical
ranch
property.
So
I
really
appreciate
the
listening
session.
You
had
my
gosh.
It
was
a
who's
who
Boulder
County
farming
that
was
there.
It
was
really
quite
remarkable
to
see
the
families
that
were
represented
there
so
anyway,
I
just
appreciate
all
the
efforts.
I
O
Excellent
question
at
this
point:
it's
it's
so
early
in
the
dialogue
around
what
is
an
agriculture
center
that
partnerships
consistently
comes
up.
There
are
no
specific
partnerships,
Bosque
is
having
conversations
with
different
potential
entities,
and
but
at
this
point
officially
with
this
partnership
who
those
partnerships
are,
you
know
they
haven't
been
defined.
I.
L
Q
D
Thanks
I
also
appreciate
the
update
and
I
have
a
question
for
curry,
I
guess
I.
Maybe
two
questions
I
think
the
county
has
an
Ag
Center.
Can
you
explain
the
similarities
and
differences
between
the
County,
AG
Center
and
the
city
proposed
AG,
center
and
and
secondly,
seems
to
me,
unless
you're
working
overtime,
that
something's
got
to
be
displaced
by
this,
so
what
you're
shedding
from
your
responsibilities
so
that
you
have
time
to
take
on
this?
Thank.
O
You
Karen
for
your
questions,
they're
excellent,
so
I'm
excited
to
share
with
y'all
that
I
had
a
chance
to
go
you're,
correct,
Boulder,
County,
the
answer,
your
first
question:
Boulder
County,
operates
a
phenomenal
agriculture,
education
center
and
historical
cultural
center.
Forget
the
name
of
the
street,
but
I
had
a
chance
to
go
and
meet
with
meet
with
their
their
team.
O
That
facilitates
those
interpretive
programs
and,
as
well
as
our
extension
of
their
agriculture
team,
and
at
this
point
one
thing
that
is
in
our
conversations
we
know
we
don't
want
to
do-
is
duplicate
efforts
or
compete
with
any
existing
successful
agriculture
via
education
effort.
So
we
are
fully
aware
of
that
program.
It's
incredibly
successful,
supported
by
the
county.
So
at
this
point
the
idea
would
not
be
to
duplicate
that
effort.
O
That
said
again,
we're
at
early
conversations
we'll
see
what
comes
out
through
the
community
listening
sessions,
but
but
I
feel
very
confident,
saying
that
antennas
not
to
duplicate
that
effort,
but
more
to
complement
and
support
existing
efforts.
There's
some
other
examples
out
there
like
that.
Now,
for
example,
the
farm
field
trip
programs,
you
know
there's
many.
Many
amazing
initiatives
happening
and
we
wouldn't
want
to
duplicate
or
compete
with
those
efforts.
O
It's
an
excellent
question
with
regards
to
work
planning
and
thanks
for
asking
I,
have
an
incredibly
supportive
team
and
supportive
management
and
we're
constantly
prioritizing
our
programming
to
make
sure
that
we
do
the
best
job
at
what's
on
our
plate
and
to
to
seek
out
for
partnerships.
I
can't
say
how
wonderful
it
is.
It
is
to
work
with
the
boulder
open
space.
Conservancy
amazing,
committed
group
of
folks
so
so
far,.
D
Q
It
was
it
came
up
in
discussion
about
it
about
what
is
the
AG
center
and
Curry's
been
great
to
take
that
left
shot.
She
has
an
excellent
background
coming
to
us
in
local
foods,
agriculture
working
with
nonprofits.
She
also
is
the
education
supervisor,
the
minute
Curry's,
also
putting
together
a
service
delivery
model
for
how
we
do
environmental
education
interpretation
work
with
all
our
partners
and
careers
just
doing
an
amazing
job,
and
so
far,
she's
actually
really
succeeding.
Well,
with
the
workload
that
she
has
I.
Q
Think
as
we
go
ahead
into
the
future,
there
will
be
discussions
about
who
does
lead
the
act,
send
a
project
if
it
turns
into
something
more
concrete,
like
bricks
and
mortar,
that
wouldn't
be
Korea's
role
in
the
future,
for
example,
and
then
she
would
be
working
on
other
projects
as
they
come
up.
So
I
think
we
will
look
at
how
the
AG
center
evolves
and
who
is
the
right
project
manager
for
that
in
the
future,
depending
on
exactly
what
direction
it
takes.
E
L
I
just
want
to
give
a
quick
update
that
I
believe
it
was
last
week
that
the
council
heard
the
Oso
heart
of
the
3-1-1
Mapleton
and
their
determination
is
that
it's
probably,
but
not
clearly
an
error
so
that
I
just
wanted.
If
you
hadn't
read
about
it
or
heard
about
it,
I'm
just
passing
that
along
and
the
next
step
for
council
is
that
they're
actually
going
to
hear
the
development
proposal
and
I
believe
that
is
scheduled
in
June.
L
So
that-
and
you
had
already
done
your
part
as
a
board
of
giving
your
advice
to
the
Planning
Board
about
the
open
space
elements
of
the
development.
You
stayed
away
from
all
the
other
parts
of
the
development
and
you
gave
your
advice
on
any
sort
of
open
space
implications.
So
you've
done
your
and
the
Planning
Board
is
going
to
hear
that
project
in
May,
I
believe
and
then
after
they
make
their
recommendation.
It'll
go
on
to
City
Council
in
June,
okay,.
E
L
I
guess
I'll
just
give
one
other
thing
on
the
Eagle
cobalt
trail.
If
you
recall
there
is
a
survey
going
on
right
now
out
in
the
community,
and
that
is
we're
sort
of
midway
into
the
surveying
of
getting
letting
people
know
the
change
that
we're
looking
at
making
getting
their
feedback
and
we'll
be
able
to
report
back
about
that.
I
believe
at
the
next
meeting.
L
H
R
Good
evening
Lord
Jim
reader
excuse
me
I'm
trails
and
facilities,
service
area
manager,
yeah
you're,
absolutely
right.
We
put
out
basically
six
signs
at
a
sign
at
the
top
and
bottom
of
each
of
the
trails
and
also
at
the
trailheads,
an
access
point
that
are
associated
with
those
trails
we
put
those
out
on
March,
27th
and
then
last
week
on
the
sixth.
R
We
modified
those
signs
due
to
some
concerns
that
they
weren't,
quite
as
pushing
the
point
as
to
why
we
were
doing
it
as
well
as
we
should
have
have
done
at
the
same
time
that
we
did
that
we
also
upgraded
what
we
had
on
our
website.
So
that's
that's,
which
stands
right
now,
Traci's,
absolutely
right!
The
survey
will
be
live
until
the
end
of
the
day
on
the
18th.
So
we've
got
about
a
week
more
to
go
on
that.
I
can
tell
you
that.
Excuse
me.
R
At
this
time
last
I
checked
we
had
144
surveys
filled,
which
is
a
tremendous.
We
filled
a
tremendous
response
at
this
point
and
we
fully
expect
more
we're
also
getting
some
comments
via
email
and
Facebook.
So
once
that
survey
is
closed,
we
will
be
compiling
all
the
responses
we
get
and
then
bring
that
those
results
back
to
this
board
next
month,
oh
I
haven't
had
a
chance
to
look
at
the
responses
very
deeply,
but
I
can
tell
you
that
there
are
responses
on
both
ends.
Don't
do
a
damn
thing
and.
Q
I'm
happy
just
the
next
item,
which
is
the
volunteer
services
annual
report
and
also
the
declaration
to
honor
open
space
and
mountain
parks.
Volunteers,
including
yourselves
as
board
members.
Of
course
I
want
to
introduce
Jennifer,
Easton
and
Christine
Weinberger
I
do
want
to
just
make
a
small
point
before
they
start
their
presentation
that
you
know
they
reach
out
to
approximately
is
a
2000
gene/l.
How
many
volunteers.
Q
Think
it's
one
of
those
things
that
often
is
in
the
sort
of
under
the
hood
I'd
say
not
truly
recognized
in
times
the
amount
of
people
that
work
for
open
space
and
amazing
difference
they
make
to
the
department
and
the
facilities
and
the
natural
resources
and
I
would
like
to
point
out
that
Janelle
has
this
year
and
last
year,
I've
been
working
on
a
citywide
effort
to
coordinate
volunteers
across
the
city.
So
it
leads
to
efficiencies
as
well
with
databases
etc.
Q
P
Thank
you
and
thank
you
again,
members
of
the
board
as
volunteers.
You
are
you
show
up
in
the
numbers
that
we
will
be
talking
about
tonight
to
go
over.
Our
2017
highlights
and
plans
for
2018,
and
this
topic
always
were
always
on
the
board
agenda
at
the
right
time,
because
next
week
is
National,
Volunteer
Week,
when
we'll
be
celebrating
volunteers
and
I
want
to
also
honor
the
volunteers
that
are
in
the
audience
and
people
that
might
be
at
home.
P
F
P
Right
there
great
so
what's
that
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
who
our
staff
is
for
just
a
minute,
so
here's
our
team,
Marc
leading
the
helm
of
community
of
CCNP,
community
connections
and
partnerships
and
then
Lisa
dear
off,
who
can't
be
here
tonight,
Kristin,
who
you
will
hear
from.
We
have
a
new
member
of
our
team,
Holy's
Ruby
and
we'll
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
later,
how
we
delineate
the
programs
and
projects
and
honest'
Sutherland
is
our
field
coordinator
and
then
natashas
diamond
will
be
joining
our
team.
P
Excuse
me
focusing
on
the
Junior
Ranger
service-learning
program
and
I
just
want
to
call
out
there
other
people
in
our
department.
If
we
didn't
have
the
staff
support
and
the
directors
team
support
to
support
these
volunteers,
you
know
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
do
the
great
work
that
were
able
to
do
with
these
amazing
people.
So
bo
Clark
is
here
tonight
we
had
Dave
berry
last
year
and
then
there's
other
stuff
who
are
the
field
leads
for
these
volunteers
and
so
for
this
year.
These
are
similar
numbers
from
last
year.
P
We're
really
excited
what
an
amazing
impact-
and
you
know
this
impact
by
number-
there's
much
more
behind
that
there's
the
stories
as
individual
contributions,
that
these
volunteers
are
making
the
connections
that
they're
making
out
there
with
visitors
the
issues
that
they're
bringing
to
our
attention
that
they
notice
out
in
the
system.
So
it's
just.
We
cannot
thank
our
volunteers
enough
for
the
work
that
they
do
for
us.
P
We
do
want
to
take
a
moment
tonight
to
honor
a
volunteer,
Jeff
parks
who
passed
away
in
the
line
of
duty.
While
he
was
volunteering
as
a
raptor
monitor,
you
may
have
seen
the
article
in
The,
Daily
Camera
many
staff
have
poured,
you
know,
poured
their
hearts
out
and
other
volunteers
who
got
to
know
him
and
talked
about
his
passion
and
his
love
for
birds,
and
so
we
just
our
hearts,
go
out
to
his
family
and
we
honor
him
tonight
and
his
memory
I'm
now
gonna
pass
it
over
to
Kristin,
Weinberger
and
she'll.
S
S
This
is
until
July,
so
it's
to
show
where
they're
located
and
then
which
workgroups
they're
served
under
and
then
so
I
created
this
pie
chart
to
really
define
where
our
groups
are
putting
their
time
into
and
we
had
the
total
of
84
one-day
volunteer
projects
in
2017
and
out
of
that
total
we
had
the
highest
number.
Is
our
special
youth
group
so
I'm
gonna
hand
over
to
beau
Clark
right
now
and
he's
gonna
talk
about
the
volunteer
trail
program.
T
Good
evening,
just
a
brief
snapshot
of
what
volunteers
down
the
trails
in
2017,
we
hosted
21,
unique
trails
projects,
413
volunteers
and
2,500
hours
spent
working
on
our
trails,
either
constructing
new
or
maintaining
our
existing
trail
network.
You
know
some
of
the
the
numbers
include
40
hundred
feet
of
trail
constructed
or
maintained
1,300
over
1300
feet.
The
undesignated
trail
restored
85
tons
of
material
transported.
T
I
think,
what's
even
more
important
than
these
numbers
is
that
within
the
trails
program,
working
with
volunteers,
about
half
of
our
groups
are
made
up
of
what
we
call
kind
of
special
interest
groups.
This
includes
agencies
like
Boulder,
climbing
community
Flatirons,
climbing
council,
Boulder,
mountain
bike,
Alliance
volunteers
for
outdoor
at
Colorado
and
I.
Think
these
are
really
critical
to
highlight
because
they
give
us
a
better
understanding
of
the
the
user
trends
and
the
use
patterns
that
are
going
on.
I
rely
on
the
climbers
to
be
updating
me
on
what
what
they're
seeing
on
the
ground.
T
We
have
a
service
agreement
with
the
Front
Range,
climbing
stewards,
they're,
a
small
outfit
who
specializes
in
climbing
access
only
transporting
stone
and
building
with
stone
on
climbing
access,
but
what's
really
cool?
Is
they
pull
in
three
to
four
volunteers
every
day
and
they
essentially
double
their
group
size
every
day
from
the
local
climbing
community
to
work
on
these
projects?
So
I
think
that
these
partnerships
and
these
little
avenues
that
were
able
to
fold
volunteers
into
our
maintenance
and
goals
is
just
kind
of
a
really
cool
thing.
So
I.
S
S
So
the
next
slide
we're
going
to
talk
about
the
contracts
the
volunteer
services
manages.
So
in
2017
we
created
a
new
crew
with
ready
to
work
and
it
was
a
pilot
crew.
So
this
happened
to
us
I
think
in
early
spring
April
and
they
wanted
to
work
by
June
and
we
made
it
work
and
it
was
a
multi
department.
Collaboration
and
a
ton
of
work
went
into
it.
It
was
very
successful.
We
work
with
parks
and
racks.
They
split
time
with
open
space,
Mountain
Park
so
every
other
week,
and
they
started
in
June.
S
S
They
started
in
March
this
year
to
help
out
Water
Resources,
so
some
of
our
work
rips
they
do
not
have
field
support,
so
they
really
rely
on
this
contract
so
that
the
ready
work
program.
It
truly
changes
people's
lives
in
2017,
one
of
the
ready
crew
members.
They
started
working
for
us
for
open
space
mountain
parks,
so
they
expressed
interest
in
it
and
then
we
were
able
to
find
a
position.
He
impressing
people
and
yeah
he's
still
with
us.
So
it's
it's
a
really
a
wonderful
partnership.
So
thank
you.
P
And
then
the
final
facet
of
the
volunteer
services,
programs
and
projects
is
the
long
term,
so
we
have
the
projects,
the
contracts
and
the
long
term
programs
that
volunteers
make
a
commitment
for-
and
here
are
some
of
the
impressive
numbers
from
last
year.
This
is
a
photo
of
our
interagency
bike
patrol
program
and
last
year
they
made
over
3,000
contacts
with
people,
that's
actual
face-to-face,
helping
people
out
on
the
trails
and
they
buy
the
equivalent
distance
of
Alaska
to
Argentina.
Now,
that's
throughout
all
of
the
agencies.
P
That's
not
just
city,
but
it's
City,
County,
u.s.,
Forest,
Service
input
and
down
on
bike
park.
So
incredible
so
impressive,
and
this
is
how
the
hours
are
broken
out
by
long-term
program.
Volunteers
and
as
you
can
see,
a
lot
of
hours
are
towards
education
and
monitoring,
and
so
education
is
that
bike
patrol.
It's
also
voluntour
natural
ists.
It's
our
bear
care
team
and
our
trail
guide.
P
Park
patrollers,
when
you
get
the
we're
gonna,
be
getting
you
our
annual
report
at
the
end
of
April
after
National,
Volunteer,
Week,
and
so
we'll
have
a
better
break
out
there.
So
you
can
see
them
the
finer
details
of
that
and
then
I'm
gonna
pass
it
back
over
to
Bo.
This
was
an
exciting
program.
We
started
last
year.
It's
the
trail
custodian
program,
so
he's
gonna
tell
you
some
highlights
from
that.
Last
year,.
T
This
was
a
pilot
began
last
year,
like
janelle
mentioned
that
we
had
13
interested
candidates
who
wanted
to
become
trail,
custodians,
where
we
would
give
them
a
very
brief
training
and
they
on
their
own
time,
unscheduled,
would
go
out
and
without
tools
they
would
do
tool
free
maintenance
of
our
trails,
meaning
picking
up
litter,
clearing
debris
from
trails.
They
had
a
very
kind
of
limited
scope
of
service,
but
we
felt
that
they
were
our
kind
of
eyes
and
ears
on
the
ground
where
we
can't
get
to
on
a
daily
basis.
T
So
the
one
major
thing
that
they
were
able
to
do
and
you'll
see
the
map
on
the
right
is:
they
were
actually
able
to
just
drop
a
pin,
take
a
photo
that
would
come
to
me
and
I
could
see,
and
they
would
report
issues
that
hey.
You
know,
I'm
noticing
this
when
I'm
out
on
a
run
I'm
noticing
this
when
I'm
out
on
a
bike.
So
we
had
a
lot
of
good
reporting
and
with
the
hope
is
that
we
continue
this
in
in
twenty
eight.
T
So
we're
looking
at
further
training
for
the
trail
custodian
program,
as
well
as
we're
going
to
be
hosting
a
rock
skills
training
in
early
May
for
members
of
a
mountain
bike
community
who
are
more
interested
in
learning
more
technical
trail
skills
to
help
us
out
when
they're
maintenance.
So
just
a
few
more
ways.
We're
trying
to
branch
out.
P
And
then
what
is
in
store
for
2018?
We
just
finished
q1
and
we
are
busy
with
all
these
initiatives
listed
here.
I
am
NOT
going
to
explain
all
of
them,
but
I
will
call
out.
There
are
some
exciting
initiatives
with
the
city
volunteer
cooperative.
We
will
be
putting
out
this
week.
The
first-ever
citywide
volunteer
impact
reports.
So
look
for
that
there
was
an
IP
to
council
that
just
went
out
this
week.
So
again,
that's
so
exciting.
P
Without
this
co-operative
group
in
the
past
we
were
you
know,
different
coordinators
were
coming
up
with
their
own
hours
of
running
their
own
programs,
and
now
we
really
are
streamlining
working
together.
Excuse
me
to
make
this
a
seamless
experience
for
volunteers
across
the
board.
Maybe
we
have
a
one-stop
shop
from
website
now,
which
is
Boulder,
Colorado,
dot,
gov
backslash
volunteer
and
that's
the
volunteer
cooperative
website
which
links
to
them
our
site
and
all
the
other
sites.
And
if
you
have
any
questions
about
any
of
these,
please
please
feel
free
to
ask
questions.
P
I
do
want
to
mention
to
I'll
give
these
to
Leah
as
volunteers.
In
this
proto's
National
Volunteer
Week.
We
brought
a
little
thank-you
gift
for
you
and
Karen
and
Andrea
ever
you
have
your
volunteer
hats,
so
your
hours
are
incorporated
in
our
totals
for
the
board.
Excuse
me
so
with
that
we
want
to
thank
you
again,
thank
everyone
in
the
audience
and
Tom.
If
you
would
give
us
honor
of
reading
the
declaration
for
the
volunteers
for
National
Volunteer
Week.
E
The
open
space
Board
of
Trustees
joins
the
staff
for
the
city
of
Boulder,
open
space
and
mountain
parks
department
in
recognizing
all
of
our
volunteers.
During
National
Volunteer,
Week
2018.
We
salute
the
more
than
eighteen
hundred
eleven
open
space
and
mountain
parks,
volunteers
who
contribute
their
talents
and
efforts
in
helping
the
department
carry
out
its
mission.
These
individuals
are
an
inspiration,
as
they
help
to
protect
the
resources
that
make
boulder
so
special.
Thank.
P
G
E
This
is
set
for
a
public
hearing
Ilia.
Do
we
have
any
no
okay?
Well
close
the
public
hearing
I
just.
D
T
Of
them
are
volunteer
lead.
We
do
have
contracts
with
youth
course,
mile
high
youth,
core
American
conservation
experience,
Front
Range,
climbing
stewards
are
a
little
bit
unique
in
that
they
are
a
professional
trail
crew
and
it's
a
service
agreement
that
we've
agreed
upon
for
a
five-year
deal
with
them.
Is
that
kind
of
answer
your
question,
but
most
of
what
about.
S
D
E
Q
G
I
U
Originally
that
comments
on
the
report
would
be
if
they
were
related
to
factual
errors
or
corrections
that
needed
to
be
made,
for
example,
even
as
simple
as
a
web
link
that
was
broken
could
be
made
in
an
agenda
and
that
larger
substantive
comments
needed
to
be
addressed
in
future
updates
to
the
plan.
Some
of
the
comments
that
we
had
gotten
in
the
process
and
would
require
quite
a
bit
of
work,
and
so
we
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
all
comfortable
that
the
process
committee
was
comfortable
with
that
that
setup
that
we
had.
U
Otherwise,
we
would
have
needed
to
make
a
change
to
the
schedule
in
order
to
address
those
comments
more
fully.
The
process
committee
did
affirm
our
current
schedule
or
current
approach,
rather
than
seeking
a
pause
in
the
schedule
to
address
those
comments
fully.
So
that
was
one
of
the
primary
things
that
we
discussed
and,
and
you
you.
I
Gave
a
lot
of
really
interesting
numbers
about
the
no
yet
people
that
gave
comments
on
the
report
that
gave
it
on
the
survey
and
I?
Don't
you
probably
don't
have
those
in
your
head,
but
I
guess
a
question
would
be.
If
people
were
interested
to
see
those
feedback,
could
they
go
to
the
website?
Would
it
happen.
U
Not
yet
we
will
have
a
report
coming
out
scheduled
to
come
out
on
May
7th
and
that
will
summarize
all
of
our
engagement
findings
at
that
time.
So
that'll
be
an
opportunity
to
see
what
that
looks
like,
as
well
as
the
resulting
themes
and
preliminary
focus
areas
that
arose
from
that
first
engagement
period.
The.
E
Two
things
one
is
that
I
think
the
committee
was
unanimously
happy
with
the
way
the
public
engagement
has
been
going
so
far,
Aaron
Brocket
said-
and
this
is
not
an
exact
quote,
but
it's
close
that
he
thought
this
was
the
best
public
engagement
he
had
seen
by
any
City
process,
because
the
word
a
model,
a
model.
Okay,
yes,
let's
see
so
in
terms
of
next
steps.
We
on
May
7th
is
when
the
second
engagement
window
will
open.
E
We
have
a
board
meeting
or
will
discussed
at
the
minute,
but
we
have
a
board
meeting
on
the
the
9th
and
then
the
engagement
window
was
originally
going
to
close
on
May
18th,
but
that
got
moved.
20Th
May,
2003
move
got
moved
a
few
days
back
and
just
reminder
on
June
12th.
We
have
our
study
session
with
council,
okay.
E
The
view
of
the
process
committee
was
not
to
take
a
pause,
but
you
know
to
continue
sort
of
with
addenda
to
the
system
overview
report
and
you
know
address
you
know
as
we're
going
along
how
we're
doing
relative
to
timeline
and
various
milestones
we've
set
for
ourselves.
But
can
you
can
you
want
our
current
track.
I
Think
in
the
end,
the
committee
was
happy
with,
with
that
collection
of
information
that
that
would
give
us
enough
information
when
we
get
to
council
in
the
study
session
to
say
yeah.
We
think
these
are
important
focus
areas
for
the
master
plan
going
forward.
So
I
thought
that
was
a
big
step.
Thank
you.
You.
U
I
E
U
Right
and
and
and
just
to
clarify,
didn't
reiterate
what
Tom
just
said
so
the
from
May
7th
until
May
20th
will
have
that
engagement
summary.
That
also
is
reflective
of
the
preliminary
focus
areas
that
emerged
from
this
first
engagement
window
and
that
two-week
period
is
an
opportunity
to
confirm
or
affirm
those
preliminary
focus
areas
in
a
way
that
is
supportive
of
the
joint
study
session
with
board
and
council,
so
that
boarding
council
has
a
little
bit
more
of
a
pulse
to
understand
you
know,
did
we
are
we
getting
the
mark?
U
E
Couple
of
numbers
that
I
had
jotted
down,
so
we
had
a
hundred
plus
people
at
the
first
event
at
the
Jewish
Community
Center,
420
plus
people.
The
second
event
at
the
library
about
1500
total
people
engaged
679
people
had
completed
the
online
survey,
including
two
organizations,
and
that
a
fair
number
of
other
people
at
the
jungle
session.
It
just
says
we
will
have
a
facilitator
at
the
June
12th
study
session,
with
counsel
and.
U
I
D
H
E
E
I
particularly
want
to
make
sure
that
if
you
either,
you
felt
there
was
something
else
you
bond
at
the
process,
ID
or
substantively
in
terms
of
the
system,
overview
report
or
sort
of
things
going
forward
that
you
wanted
to
bring
forward,
because
you
know
we
won't
be
together
again
until
the
study
session
with
Council
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we've,
you
know,
create
a
little
bit
of
space.
Now,
if
you
want
to
have
that
discussion,
I.
H
D
Want
to
bring
up
one
thing
and
that's
something
that
Mary
young
brought
up
at
the
process
committee
meeting
the
importance
of
trends
as
we
make
decisions
and
having
those
and
as
I
understood
it,
staff
was
going
to
be
able
to
from
existing
data,
supplement
the
system
overview
report
with
Excel
spreadsheet
or
something
of
the
like.
That
presents
the
kinds
of
monitoring
that
has
been
done
over
the
years
and
making
some
simple
observations
about
trends
that
are
obvious
from
those
monitoring
efforts,
ranging
all
the
way
from
status
of
of
ecosystems
to
compliance
and
impacts
trail.
D
U
I'm
going
to
start
answering
your
question
than
the
Brian
finish.
I
will
just
say
that
the
discussion
with
the
process
committee
around
that
particular
option
was
that
if
we
were
to
prepare
prepared
that
level
of
information
that
it
would
require
a
change
in
the
schedule,
because
that
wasn't
a
level
of
effort
that
we
were
prepared
to
do
in
this
amount
of
time.
U
Rather,
the
discussion
that
we
landed
on
and
and
Mary's
sort
of,
where
she
landed,
I
would
say
is
to
say
we
would
at
least
be
helpful
to
see
the
list
of
monitoring
projects
that
we've
done,
without
that
an
additional
analysis
around
the
trends
that
were
the
results
that
emerged
from
them.
I
don't
know
if
that,
if
you
want
to
add
anything.
V
And
then
you
and
I
Karen
talked
after
the
meeting
about
the
potential
to
kind
of
ask
staff
informally
to
give
a
narrative
on
the
status
of
the
monitoring
projects.
So
we're
still
exploring
whether
that
might
be
an
option.
But
that
would
be
you
know,
short
of
doing
a
full
quantitative
analysis
and
right.
D
I
An
item
just
to
say
a
few
things
about,
and
it's
our
written
information
number
B
number
B
or
letter
2,
the
public
service
company
of
Colorado
transmission
line,
replacement,
project
and
I
appreciate
the
report.
I
have
to
admit
it
was
eye-opening
and
I
guess
the
feedback
and
partly
I'm
bringing
it
up
now,
because
I
don't
see
it
appearing
on
our
agendas
going
forward,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
couple
of
comments
on
it
and
suggestions,
and
all
of
you
have
probably
read
it.
I
Obviously,
this
is
not
something
we
can
say
will
not
happen.
We
don't
get
to
make
that
decision,
I'm
sure
they
have
all
the
easements
that
they
need,
and
it
does
appear
from
reading
this-
that
staff
have
worked
to
try
to
steer
the
timing
of
this
so
that
it's
you
know
out
of
the
Raptor
nesting
period,
at
least
mostly
and
of
course,
how
it
will
happen
and
I'm
sure
there'll
be
a
lot
of
care
taken
to
to
manage
this
activity.
I
But
it
does
involve
all
of
the
road
and
trail
systems
from
bear
Canyon,
South
to
South
Mesa
trail
and
the
movement
of
a
lot
of
vehicles
and
materials
of
those
roads,
as
well
as
a
thousand
helicopter
trips.
And
you
know
if
you're
carrying
something
with
a
the
sikorsky
sky,
crane
a
bear
Canyon,
you're
gonna,
hear
it
from
south
of
Eldo
to
north
of
Flagstaff
and
so
I
guess.
I
So
whatever
we
can
do
to
get
the
word
out
early
and
explain
again
that
we
don't
control
this
except
to
try
to
work
to
manage
the
timing
and
how
it
happens
also.
Obviously
it
would
be
very
desirable
to
not
have
all
three
of
those
systems
closed
at
the
same
time
be
wonderful
if
we
could
even
avoid
having
two
of
those
systems
closed
at
the
same
time,
because
they
get
so
much
traffic.
So
I
think
those
are
my
general
thoughts,
but
it
did
strike
me
as
something
that's
gonna
be
a
big
deal
for
our
public
I.
H
Did
have
one
actual
follow-on
question
to
that
that
packet
item,
which
was
we've
put
so
much
money
and
effort
into
rebuilding
these
trails,
and
now
we're
gonna,
have
heavy
trucks
driving
on
them.
So
is
there
an
expectation
that
all
the
rebuilding
will
hold
due
to
this
traffic,
and,
if
not,
do
we
have
recourse
for?
Yes,.
L
H
R

H
So
I
am
this
board's
representative
to
the
GAC,
the
greenways
Advisory
Committee
and
with
CIP
season
comes
the
annual
GAC
meeting.
Where
we
talk
about
I,
know
I,
can't
how
many
more
times
can
I
say
gag
for
you
comes
the
the
greenways
Advisory
Committee
has
their
own
CIP
process,
and
so
I
will
not
be
at
the
may
meaning,
but
the
expectation
is
that
I
would
bring
in
items
of
interest
from
our
packet
when
it
comes
out
or
your
feedback
and
I
would
take
that
feedback
to
the
GAC
meeting.
H
The
GAC
meeting
is
fortunately
being
pushed
out
far
enough
that
it's
gonna
be
in
late
June,
so
probably
through
myself
and
Mark
Gershman.
Well,
we'll
put
some
materials
out
to
you
guys
for
a
response
and
I
can
get
your
responses
at
the
June
meeting.
Do
meaning
of
this
board
and
then
take
it
to
the
greenways
Advisory
Committee.
So
just
wanted
to
give
everyone
heads
up
on
that
they'll
be
asking
for
good
feedback.
C
So
I
have
I
have
one
about
the
other
point
that
was
in
the
in
the
thing
this
week
or
this
month
about
the
Lobo,
Trail
and
I
know.
This
is
coming
up
on
agenda
I
think
next
month
and
I
also
know
that
sometimes,
when
you
have
things
that
affect
multiple
departments,
you'll
often
bring
in
staff
from
other
departments
to
help
educate
us
and
I'm
kind
of
putting
in
a
request
for
that
to
see.
C
If
we
can
get
someone
from
transportation
here-
and
my
reasoning
is-
is
that
in
the
last
year
there
were
two
fatalities
on
J
Road.
Neither
of
them
are
in
the
park
where
this
trail
reroute
would
do
any
good.
So
in
fact
it
might
actually
increase
the
risk
of
fatality,
because
you're
gonna
encourage
more
people
to
use
J
Road,
because
you've
made
a
nice
trail
on
another
part,
and
the
Cottonwood
trail
has
no
access
to
North
Boulder
whatsoever,
except
for
an
illegal
crossing
over
a
railroad
track
right
now,
so
my
suggestion
would
be.
C
Can
we
get
some
sort
of
transportation
people
that
come
in
here
and
discuss
how
this
fits
into
the
network?
Because
in
the
daily
camera
they
said,
we
don't
know
and
I
just
want
to
have
some
sort
of
sense
of
like.
Are
you
gonna
extend
it
further
on
J
Road?
Are
you
gonna
go
forward?
The
Cottonwood
trail
crossing
the
railroad,
whatever
it's
going
to
be
as
part
of
that
presentation,
because
I
think
that
would
really
help
us
have
a
more
reformed
sense
of
how
the
Lobo
Trail
integrates
with
the
rest
of
Transportation.
L
C

Hey
there
was
a
open
house
last
night,
Matt
celestial
Seasonings
on
this
and
Boulder
County
transportation
was
there
in
addition
to
Maya
MP
who's,
part
of
the
transportation
staff,
but
the
other
portions
of
the
staff
who
deal
with
on-street.
The
features
were
there
as
well,
so
I
think
at
this
point,
as
Tracey's
indicated
County's
taking
responsibility
and
responding
to
this.
W
If,
for
example,
they
might
need
land
fir
or
these
men
or
rights-of-way
from
the
city
I
think
J
road,
especially
J
Road
east
of
the
diagonal
who
lies
within
in
Boulder
County
for
most
of
its
length,
I
think
orchard
Creek.
There
might
be
a
little
piece
out
there,
that's
been
annexed,
but
so
that
that
would
be
the
appropriate
folks
and
if,
if
they
make
a
recommendation
that
we
hook
up
with
some
folks
from
the
city
will
certainly
do
that.
Remark.
Q
W
Well,
yeah
and
something's
changed
there.
You
may
have
noticed
in
your
package
that
had
all
of
the
alternatives
now
shown
in
the
in
the
map
are
have
a
alternative
on
open
space
lands
of
on
the
McKenzie
property.
They
spoke
with
the
landowner
who
had
the
land
where
another
option
was
being
presented
that
would
allow
for
routing
off
open
space,
but
that
person
indicated
no
interest
in
having
the
trail
on
their
land,
so
that
has
been
removed
from
the
alternatives.
So
there
is.
That
was
a
last
minute
slip
in
that
we
did
and
changed
the
map.
