Board approves consent item enabling cost‑sharing for prairie‑dog barriers; minutes approved as amended
Summary
The Open Space Board of Trustees approved minutes from Nov. 13, 2024 (as amended) and approved a consent item to adopt a template revocable license for a prairie‑dog barrier cost‑sharing program; votes were recorded by roll call.
The Open Space Board of Trustees conducted routine governance business at its Dec. 11 meeting, approving the Nov. 13 meeting minutes as amended and adopting a consent agenda item authorizing staff to use a template revocable license for the prairie‑dog barrier cost‑sharing program.
Trustee Harmon moved to approve the November 13, 2024 minutes as amended; an unidentified trustee seconded the motion. The minutes motion passed with one abstention recorded (Trustee Brady).
On the consent agenda, staff presented a single item: a proposed template revocable agreement with maintenance obligations for use in a cost‑sharing program that helps private landowners install prairie‑dog barrier fencing along OSMP boundaries. Trustee Harmon read and moved the motion that was posted on screen; Michelle Estrella, chair of the board, seconded. The board took a roll call vote (Sarah: yes; Brady: yes; Harmon: yes; Michelle Estrella: yes) and the item was approved.
The board recorded no further formal actions at that time. The consent item provides a standardized legal template for staff to use when entering revocable license agreements with maintenance obligations for prairie‑dog barrier installations; staff noted the city attorney had reviewed the language and that staff intend to coordinate further with the city attorney on consent‑agenda formatting for future meetings.
