Town of Breckenridge January 22, 2018 Breckenridge Open Space Advisory Commission Roll Call Jeff Carlson called the January 22, 2018 BOSAC meeting to order at 5:36 pm. Other BOSAC members present included Gavin Dalgliesh, Jeff Cospolich, Jeffery Bergeron, Craig Campbell and Matt Powers. Elizabeth Miller was absent. Staff members present included Anne Murphy, Tony Overlock, Scott Reid, Peter Grosshuesch, and Mark Truckey. Brain Lorch representing Summit County Open Space was present. Local resident Clay Schwarck was also in attendance. Approval of Minutes The December 11, 2017 meeting minutes were approved. Approval of Agenda The agenda was approved as presented. Public Comments There were no public comments. Staff Summary Field Season Update Since the December BOSAC meeting, the following field work has been completed: Removed numerous downed and hazardous trees Collected data and maintained traffic counters at Sallie Barber, B&B, and Peabody trailhead Installed trailhead kiosk panels at Peabody and B&B trailhead Started winter grooming on Gold Run Rd, portions of Upper Flume, Middle Flume, Tom Baby, and Wellington Trail Commercial Use of Town Trails Staff is working to develop a comprehensive and effective permitting process for commercial use of Town trails by the spring/summer season. As BOSAC will recall, the Open Space program will administer the permit process starting with an RFP and deadline for all summer and winter commercial activities. This will ensure that all agreements are in place at the start of the summer season and no other proposals will be considered outside of the RFP window. Staff has been conducting outreach with neighboring open space programs that have established commercial use permitting processes in place. These models will help inform the RFP and criteria so that the resulting process is fair, equitable, and sustainable for all parties. Even with a permitting process in place, however, issues such as carrying capacity and enforcement may be difficult to determine and regulate. Regular monitoring will have to take place. Staff will work with Summit County Open Space to determine if they wish to participate in a joint permitting process. If they choose not to participate, we will implement a process for Town- only trails. 2 Page 1 of 7 Town of Breckenridge January 22, 2018 Breckenridge Open Space Advisory Commission Recpath Grooming Update The County and Towns of Frisco and Breckenridge have reached agreement on the terms of a license agreement that will allow Frisco Nordic Center and Gold Run Nordic Center to groom the recpath between Four-Mile Bridge in Breckenridge north to the Frisco Nordic Center. Grooming will take place approximately two times per week, likely on Tuesdays and Fridays as conditions permit. As discussed at the November 2017 BOSAC meeting, Open Space will commit funds to cover the added costs of grooming. We anticipate the first grooming of the full length between Breckenridge and Frisco to take place within the next week. Our groomers have already been grooming the recpath between the Breckenridge Recreation Center and Tiger Road, as this section of the recpath is managed by the Town. Please feel free to send any feedback on recpath grooming to staff. Mr. Cospolich: Is Frisco sharing the cost of grooming the recreation path with the Town? Ms. Murphy: The cost will be shared with the Town of Frisco and the Town Breckenridge. As you will recall, we committed up to $10,000 of Open Space funds for 2018 winter grooming. River Park Update At a recent Town Council meeting, Oxbow Park was renamed River Park. As the park design has evolved, the “oxbow” was deleted from the river corridor and the design was modified to include more mountain, forest, river, and other nature elements. Due to these changes, staff and Council believe that the “River Park” name is broader and more reflective of the long-term park vision. Staff will be bringing the official name change to Council at a future meeting to comply with the 2014 Town of Breckenridge Naming Policy. Construction for River Park is slated to begin this spring/summer. An expected Grand Opening of the park will take place in the fall. Mr. Cospolich: Will there be parking? Mr. Grosshuesch: There will be about 20 spots. Yellow Brick Road BOSAC requested an update at the December 2017 meeting on the grading of a property leading to Yellow Brick Road and National Forest lands by a landowner. The County’s Engineering Department opened a violation case against and the property and its landowners in response to complaints received and observations of grading work completed on the property without the proper permits. In October, the landowners were working with a survey company to complete a topographic survey of the property and disturbed areas. In addition to the topographic survey, the Engineering Department has required that the landowners submit a completed Grading & Excavation Permit Application and detailed plans for the proposed project or the restoration of the site. The County sent a second notice of violation in mid-December and gave a deadline of January 31, 2018 for 3 Page 2 of 7 Town of Breckenridge January 22, 2018 Breckenridge Open Space Advisory Commission the landowners to comply. If they do not comply, legal action by the County Attorney’s Office up to and including a lien placed against the property will result. BOSAC Appointments April marks the annual appointments to BOSAC. There are three current BOSAC members whose terms are expiring this spring – Gavin Dalgliesh, Elizabeth Miller, and Matt Powers. As with last year, staff will work with BOSAC to form a subcommittee, consisting of our BOSAC Council rep, a staff person, and a sitting BOSAC member whose term is not expiring this year to review applications and interview candidates. The subcommittee will then make a recommendation to Council. As a reminder, members of BOSAC are now limited to serving two consecutive four-year terms in office. Newly appointed BOSAC members will begin a four-year term starting at the April meeting. The March 26th BOSAC meeting will be the last with our current commission, as Council will make appointments on March 27th. In order to meet these deadlines, staff will post an ad in Summit Daily News during the last two weeks of February and interested applicants can send a letter describing their interest and background to Anne Murphy at [email protected]. Applications will be accepted through 4 pm on March 2nd. The subcommittee will meet during the month of March to review applications and set up interviews. Please let Anne know if you have any questions. Mr. Carlson: Would current BOSAC appointees who terms are expiring are reelected need to leave after serving their 4-year term? Mr. Reid: If appointees are reelected, that would be their final term and they would need to take a break before running for BOSAC again. Open Space & Trails BreckCreate Art Installation on Open Space Staff recently received a request for conceptual approval from BreckCreate for one of its artists, Thomas Damboo of Denmark, to create an art installation on the dredge rock at the B&B Trailhead. The concept includes a large sculpture made from wood pre-built by the artist as well as wood salvaged from local forests. The concept is a giant who appears to have built a cairn of large rock in front of him. Patrons will seek out the location, visit the site, and build smaller cairns in the area. The piece is proposed for BIFA, which is scheduled for August 10th – August 19th. Mr. Damboo would build the piece during the week leading up to the event on the 10th. The piece could be left in place after the event or, if desirable, it could be dismantled and removed at a timeframe agreed upon by all parties. BreckCreate’s proposed location for the art installation is on the dredge rock piles near the B&B Trailhead, in both directions (upstream and downstream) from the trailhead. BreckCreate strives to locate sites that will suit the artist’s criteria as well as their own, including a location fairly 4 Page 3 of 7 Town of Breckenridge January 22, 2018 Breckenridge Open Space Advisory Commission near town with some public parking, available dredge rock that can be used by both the artist and the public, and near a forested area for salvaging wood. The B&B Trailhead location requested by BreckCreate is co-owned by Summit County Open Space, who has not participated in the annual trail mix series or other art installations that the Town of Breckenridge has supported. BreckCreate is seeking direction from BOSAC before approaching the Town Special Events Committee. Ms. Murphy: The staff recommendation is that we not allow the public to participate in building rock cairns, as we don’t want to encourage this type of activity on our open space properties. In addition, the County has not expressed interest in supporting this project on jointly owned open space.

    Advancing the interests of America’s sportsmen and women for 27 years... Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation 2016 Year in Review 2015 ANNUAL REPORT Twenty-eight years ago, a dedicated and passionate group of sportsmen in the U.S. Congress came together to form the Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus (CSC) to protect and advance our outdoor traditions of hunting, angling, recreational shooting, and trapping. The Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation (CSF) was formed shortly thereafter in 1989 to serve as the link between the sportsmen’s community and the CSC. Building upon the success of the CSC, the National Assembly of Sportsmen’s Caucuses (NASC), and the Governors Sportsmen’s Caucus (GSC) were established – in 2004 and 2009, respectively – to extend the policy network from Washington, DC, to states across the country. In 2016, the GSC includes 34 members, and NASC includes 48 state sportsmen’s caucuses. Because of this strong network, sportsmen and women have an organized, bipartisan and passionate group of policy-makers at the federal and state Federal Policy. 3 level that directly champion our interests in the political arena.
