Approval of Minutes From December 02, 2019 and January 06, 2020 The minutes were approved as submitted. 2. Public comment on non-agenda items Introductions were conducted. 3. Discussion Items 3.1 2019 Update on Research and Monitoring projects on Conservation Lands An overview on the main monitoring efforts and research projects conducted in 2019. This included updates on the condition of Missoula's most intact grasslands, elk and recreational use in the South Hills, impacts of deer browse on riparian vegetation, and best management practices for controlling knapweed and exotic annual grasses. Clancy Jandreau will also briefly touch on the Conservation Lands Trailhead Inventory conducted in 2019. Clancy Jandreau provided a presentation on the updates from 2019 Conservation Lands Management Research and Monitoring Program. Updates included management goals, challenges, research and monitoring program, Elk and Recreation on the South Hills Spur, trail usage, conservation lands trailhead inventory, Missoula’s grazing program, integrated control of spotted knapweed, riparian impacts of deer browse and ventenata management and restoration. The committee discussed impacts of weather and trends of the landscape. 4. Action Items 4.1 Proposal for Bancroft Ponds Park Outdoor Classroom 1 Page 1 of 16 Review proposal from Lewis and Clark Neighborhood's Bancroft Ponds Committee to develop an outdoor classroom in Bancroft Ponds Park. Morgan Valliant gave the brief background of Bancroft ponds and the ability it has to provide an educational environment. Dave Westfall representing Bancroft Ponds committee and the Lewis and Clark Neighborhood council gave an overview of the proposal for the Bancroft Ponds Park Outdoor Classroom. Dave Westfall provided information to the committee on the enhancements that the committees would like to see to the park and the development of an outdoor classroom. The overall cost of the project would be $14,000 and the committee would like request $6000 from the City of Missoula to help with the overall cost. The committee is asking for the support from Conservation Lands Advisory Committee (CLAC) CLAC conversed about the placement of the outdoor school and the benefits that it would have for the community and students. There was concern on the placement of boulders for seating and if there would create an area in which individuals might be able to hide. There was also discussion on current boulders in the area and if the Bancroft Ponds committee or the Lewis and Clark Neighborhood council had observed any vandalism. Dave Westfall and Colleen Biehl informed the committee that they had not seen any vandalism. CLAC members asked if the Bancroft Pond Committee foresees a possible shelter around the outdoor classroom. Dave Westfall and John Conner communicated that they don’t see a shelter ever being recommended. Morgan Valliant reminded the committee that this action would be an addition to the current management plan for Bancroft Ponds. The outdoor classroom would comply with the current management plan. It would ensure that what is done in the park is usable and ecstatically fit with the landscape. The Bancroft Pond committee is asking for CLAC to make a recommendation to Park Board and bring it forward so the committee will be able to move forward on the design. Naomi Alhadeff from National Wildlife Federation stated that community members have stressed this as a high need. Moved by: Beverly Dupree Seconded by: Kathleen Kennedy Recommend to Park Board that the Bancroft Committee move forward with design of the Outdoor Classroom. AYES: (8): Beverly Dupree, Kathleen Kennedy, Karen Sippy, Hannah Specht, Jamison Starbuck, Giles Thelen, Teagan Hayes, and John O'Connor Vote results: Approved (8 to 0) 5. Discussion items 5.1 Final Review of the Clark Fork Islands Recreation Plan 2 Page 2 of 16 Morgan Valliant presented the Clark Fork Islands Recreation Plan for Final review to CLAC members. The recreation plan will be presented to Park Board in March. Park Board will then review the plan and then release it to the public for 20 to 30 days. Park Board would then conduct a public meeting to gather feedback. Morgan Valliant highlighted areas within the Clark Fork Islands Recreation Plan to indicate the updates that were made to the Final draft. There were multiple updates within the document and each was presented to the committee. The committee members inquired about historical testing in the area prior to construction. CLAC members discussed the commuter trail and if dogs should be on leash and what type of lighting would be required. There were recommendations of having signage that clearly stated areas that were private property and entering into conservation lands along the commuter trail. Hannah Specht asked about phasing and if there would be something in place where the public wouldn’t have access until bridges were complete. Morgan Valliant doesn’t want to encourage access until the bridges are completed and wants the infrastructures to be completed before it would be open to the public. Committee members questioned trapping in the area and if signs to clarify and educate the public would be needed. Morgan Valliant said that there are regulations for no trapping in the City but something that could be considered. Morgan Valliant asked the committee to read through the Recreation plan and look at the maps and send edits to him within 2 weeks so he can make changes if needed. 6. Future items 6.1 Clark Fork Island Recreation Management Plan In March Conservation Committee will recommend the Park and Recreation Board to Adopt the Clark Fork Island Recreation Management Plan. 6.2 Conservation Land Management In March there will be an update of the 2019 accomplishments and a overview of 2020 priorities. 7. Announcements 8. CLAC Board Member Q&A on non-agenda items 9. Adjournment Adjournment 6:01pm Minutes by Jolanda Cummings 3 Page 3 of 16 **Attention Reviewers: Significant changes from the Feb 2020 draft are highlighted** Clark Fork Islands Recreation and Special Resource Management Plan Drafted by: Morgan Valliant, Conservation Lands Manager and the Conservation Lands Advisory Committee Adopted by: Missoula Parks and Recreation Board on MONTH DAY, 2020 The Clark Fork Islands recreation management plan describes recreation management priorities and infrastructure on the Clark Fork Island Properties (Fig 1). These properties provide important habitat, unique educational opportunities, valuable ecosystem services and a variety of recreational opportunities. Inventories conducted by the Parks and Recreation Department’s Conservation Lands Management (CLM) program (Carlson, Valliant & Jandreau 2018) and resource values documented by Missoula’s Conservation Lands Advisory Committee (CLAC) identified multiple natural and cultural resources, which influence management of this parcel. The purpose of this plan is to describe levels of recreational development on said properties while also outlining management priorities which balance recreational pressure with protection of important natural and cultural resources on site. This plan describes the recommended trail system, public access points, acceptable recreational uses and infrastructure locations. While the Clark Fork Islands Recreation Management Plan describes actions to protect site-specific resources on the Property, management of all other natural and cultural resources is directed by the Conservation Lands Management Plan (Valliant et. al., 2010), Missoula Parks and Recreation (MPR) Department policies and various City ordinances. Initial site surveys (Carlson, Valliant & Jandreau 2018) identified multiple

  • 2011 Missoula Housing Report
    2011 Missoula Housing Report Current Knowledge, Common Vision: Growing a Missoula to Treasure Released March 31, 2011 A Community Service Provided by the Missoula Organization of REALTORS® 1 Notes for Reading the Report 1. As in our past reports, we use data that are publicly available and statistically valid. Our interpretation of the data in some cases may lead to judgments that we believe are sound, but you may disagree with. If so, we invite your comments – that way we can continue to improve this yearly report. 2. Unless otherwise noted, data presented in the text and figures are for the Missoula Urban Area, which includes the City of Missoula and its neighborhoods and surrounding urbanized area, defined as: Downtown, Central Missoula, University, South Hills, Farviews/Pattee Canyon, Rattlesnake, Bonner, East Missoula, Clinton, Turah, South Hills, Linda Vista, Miller Creek, Lolo, Target Range, Orchard Homes, Big Flat, Blue Mountain, Mullan Road, and Grant Creek. Some data represent only the city or all of Missoula County, and are noted as such. 3. All data are the most recent available at the time we compiled the report. For calendar year data, 2010 in most cases, but 2009 or even 2008 data are used when more recent figures aren‖t yet available. 4. “Median” is a term used often in this report and is an important term to understand. A median is the amount at which exactly half of the values or numbers being reported are lower and half are higher. A median can be more or less than an “average,” which is the amount derived by adding the total of all values being reported and dividing by the number of individual values.

Executive Summary The research and monitoring (R&M) program of Missoula’s Conservation Lands Management (CLM) division is responsible for monitoring the conditions and trends of recreational and natural resources on City-owned conservation lands. Staff in the R&M program work to improve land management techniques as well as our understanding of local ecology and the public use of conservation lands. This document provides an overview of R&M activities during the 2019 season. For some projects, more detailed individual reports are available upon request, as indicated in the Table of Contents. In 2019, R&M staff worked on a variety of monitoring and research projects. Monitoring projects included revisiting long-term monitoring plots installed in Missoula’s most intact grasslands. Monitoring of elk use of Mount Jumbo during the winter closure continued in its sixth year, while we revisited elk monitoring plots established in the South Hills for the first time. We also continued a user exit survey begun by University students to characterize recreational use at the South Hills Spur property. By early summer, we completed a comprehensive inventory of infrastructure at all trailheads and access points across the entire Conservation Lands system.

  • Table of Contents (Ctrl+Click to Jump to a Section) Parcel History
    Missoula Parks and Rec Conservation Lands Management New Parcel Inventory: “South Hills Spur” Summary In order to meet goals and objectives set forth in the 2010 Conservation Lands Management Plan (CLMP, Chapter 3), Conservation Lands Management (CLM) staff documents historic and current conditions on newly acquired parcels. This “New Parcel” inventory is used whenever CLM adopts management of a new parcel either through purchase, transfer, or easement. The need and scope of this process is governed by the size and location of a new parcel and the resource conservation values on site. For some new parcels additional management plans may also be developed in addition to this inventory. By taking stock of newly acquired parcels, we hope to identify critical habitats, existing resources, historic influences and potential threats before agency management or public use of the land occurs. One advantage of this approach is that we can establish baseline assessments of resources before management occurs, allowing us to more directly track the results of management actions. The CLMP directs that Conservation Lands be managed depending on the resource values of the parcel. The existing, and potential recreational, ecological, and cultural uses and values of the land are taken into consideration when deciding management strategies for a specific parcel. The information gathered from a New Parcel Inventory provides land managers and policy makers with factual information to aid in the development of management plans for new parcels. A New Parcel Inventory is often conducted in conjunction with a public scoring process of natural, cultural and recreational resource values by the Conservation Lands Advisory Committee (CLAC).
