Allen Park Adaptive Reuse and Management Plan
Public Lands, with the support of consultant GSBS Architects, has completed the final
draft of the Allen Park Adaptive Reuse and Management Plan. The plan recommends
overarching goals, specific projects, objectives, priorities and funding requirements for
the future of the park. Based on the Cultural Landscape Report and robust community
engagement, the final concept plan for the park, "Arts and Sciences in the Wild"
balances ecological needs, integration of arts and history elements, and restoration of
some structures critical to the integrity of the landscape. The structures that will remain
will be converted into park office space, restroom facilities and arts-and-science-in-
residence programs, and all other art elements will be preserved on-site. In addition to
the structural elements, the adaptive reuse of the park provides a unique opportunity to
drastically improve the health of Emigration Creek, floodplain, riparian zone, upland
vegetation and wildlife habitat in the park. Finally, the removal of certain structures will
allow for more of the landscape to be used for community gathering and outdoor
education.A final presentation and overview of the final draft will be presented during
the August 1 meeting. Please review the draft document here: Allen Park Plan Final
Draft.pdf. After sharing with the PNUT Board, the plan will be shared with the
Community Advisory Committee who played an influential role in the creation of this
plan, City Council, and the broader public.

Preserve. Ms. Riker shared that they've done one interview and have another scheduled. She
spoke about the interviewing and recommendation process for Board members. Ms.Anne
Cannon asked how they could communicate and be represented. Ms. Riker said Mr.Whittaker
would still be the representative until someone new was appointed. Ms. Riker invited her to raise
concerns or ideas through the public comment period and by emailing staff. Ms.Anne Cannon
brought up the dog problem. Ms. Cannon said there are also three At-Large representatives, and
she volunteered them to fill in during this time. Ms.Anne Cannon thanked everyone and said she

4. Action Items 5:25 PM
A. Review and approve updated Bylaws 5 mins
Ms. Larsen shared her screen to display the draft Bylaws. Ms. Cannon said they met and
accepted many of the City attorney's suggested changes. One of the big changes they suggested
was calling 'subcommittees' 'committees' as it's what other boards do and is more consistent
with the city code. Ms. Cannon said there were two major items they suggested.The first was
related to electronic meetings.The City Attorney changed this from "highly encouraged to keep
cameras on" to "shall keep cameras on" and also "shall participate in votes verbally." Ms. Cannon
opened this for discussion. Ms. Riker said she'd be happy to reach out and ask. Ms. Nakamura is
a fan of the camera, but she expressed concern regarding internet quality and some people
being unable to participate,which becomes an equity issue. She suggested pushing it back to the
attorney to know why it was worded so strongly. Mr. Scrivner said he would hate for someone to
miss out on a vote because they were driving but still attending the meeting. He said it seems
less flexible. Ms. Hewson agreed with the comments regarding cameras. Ms. Riker noted the
Board could vote on how this was originally, but staff can bring it back to the attorneys.The
Board and staff continued to discuss cameras on during meetings.
Ms. Cannon shared the next section;the attorney's feedback was within the responsibilities of
subcommittees (now committees). She said this is a new recommendation, but the attorney
recommended that before committees submit materials to the Board, they will provide a report
to the Department Liaison for approval to ensure that it aligns with staff goals. It has to happen
two weeks before the meeting. Ms. Riker said that she believes the attorney is saying that work
being submitted to the Board from the committees needs to be sent to staff two weeks in
advance so staff can have a week to review and discuss any questions or concerns about the
direction the committee is going. Ms. Cannon said that it makes a lot of sense to give regular
monthly reporting updates and then be able to provide a final report, which she assumes is what
this is; there would be guidance. She would hope that staff wouldn't be blindsided by something
the committees are working on. Ms. Riker said they didn't want a committee to present a report
as if it was already aligned with Public Land's intentions or plans.This is a chance to have a
timeout if needed. Ms. Finch said the reporting period makes sense for staff to review, but she
didn't like the word "approval." She suggested something like "comment". She said it should still
come to the Board even if staff disapproves. Ms. Pehrson asked if this was for the year-end
report. Ms. Finch said "materials" are broad and could be applied to many things. Ms. Nakamura
said even "information" is broad enough to apply to committee updates. She said it could be
more cumbersome for staff to review everything the committee submits. Ms. Riker suggested it
could be something like before submitting conclusions or final reports. Ms. Cannon suggested it
as something that the Board would vote on. Many Board members liked this idea. Ms. Nakamura
suggested it says something like "before submitting materials and information to the Board for
action...". Ms. Finch would like to change "approval"to "comment."The Board and staff
continued to discuss this process. Ms. Nakamura motioned to approve the Bylaws with these
discussed changes. Ms. Finch asked if they wanted to hold off on the discussion to August to
review the final changes. Based on tonight's discussion, Mr. Scrivner said he's comfortable with a
motion to approve. Ms. Binnebose seconded the motion. The Board unanimously voted to
approve the Bylaws with the changes made based on tonight's discussion.
B. Review and approve the Stakeholder Presentation Process 5 mins
Ms. Larsen shared her screen to display the Stakeholder Presentation Process. Ms. Pontuti said
she made the minor adjustments we discussed at the last meeting. She said if everyone's
reviewed it,they can vote on it tonight, and she can work with Ms. Larsen on the next steps. Ms.
Pontuti said she'll draft a form for stakeholder groups to complete. Ms. Finch asked what was
PARKS,NATURAL LANDS,URBAN FORESTRYAND TRAILS ADVISORY BOARD of SALT LAKE CITY
meant by adhering to the Board's community guidelines and what the intention was.According
to the Bylaws, Ms. Pontuti and Ms. Cannon said this was about what the Chair would state at the
beginning of the meeting. Ms. Hewson had a suggested edit under presentations,which should
be no more than 10 minutes long and shared with the department. She suggested changing it to
any presentation materials rather than presentation as not everyone will have a PowerPoint. Ms.
Larsen said any presentation materials should get to her in time to put in the packet. Ms. Riker
asked for clarity on whether the Board will take action the day a presentation is given, as they
would need to know that ahead of time to put it on the agenda. Ms. Binnebose suggested saying
"future action will be taken".The Board continued to discuss the Stakeholder Presentation
Process.
Ms. Riker asked if they'd send this to Ms. Larsen so that staff could comment. Ms. Larsen said
since this is the Board's project and they create their agendas, she wants them to decide who
they want to hear from and manage the form.Then,they can communicate with her about what
needs to be on the agenda and any materials that must be included in the packet. Ms. Benally
asked concerning action items when the Board accepts them and votes in favor of them if it's put
up for public comment to see if there's a suggestion from the public. Ms. Cannon said that's what
the public comment section is; people can speak to the action items or anything else on the
agenda, which is why many times it's before any action items so the Board can hear from the
public on anything that may influence their vote. Ms. Nakamura asked if a completed form would
go to the Department Liaison or the Chair. Ms. Larsen would say the Chair as it's the Chair, and
the Communications Committee creates the agenda. Ms. Binnebose suggested offsetting the
load from the Chair, and they could set the form up so that everyone on the Communications
Committee can get alerts to review submissions. The Board and staff continued to discuss the
Stakeholder Presentation Process.
Ms. Finch asked what the next steps would be for the Communications Committee to inform the
public of this option, like putting it on their website. Ms. Pontuti said it would be on their website.
Ms. Riker said she would like to review this before it gets voted on. Ms. Binnebose suggested that
once the process is approved, this form should be included in the newsletter and incorporated
into Public Land's social media. She said the Communications Committee could help staff with all
of this. Ms. Binnebose noted that if this is pushed back to August, they can flesh out all the points
discussed today and provide a proposed rollout for staff to review.The Board and staff
continued to discuss the Stakeholder Presentation Process. Ms. Cannon motioned to defer voting
until August while the Communications Committee discussed the details. Ms. Nakamura
seconded the motion. The Board unanimously voted to postpone this vote until August.
5. Director's Report 5:40 PM
- Summary of current high-priority department items. - Kristin Riker 5 mins
Ms. Riker said last month, staff presented their FY24/25 budget to the Council. Staff had
requested:
- Planning& Design: senior architect and senior planner
- Project Coordinator,which staff is paying for out of their seasonal budget
- Full-time position to manage the seasonals at Glendale Regional Park
- Appointment of a Division Director for Trails & Natural Lands
Alongside these budget presentations, it's the busy maintenance season, and staff are behind in
their maintenance,which came up during their budget presentation. She continued to discuss
the challenges the department is facing and how they are behind. She shared that the Council
asked why they're asking for more planners and architects for new projects when they aren't
caring for what they have.There's a perception that Public Lands is only asking for new things
PARKS,NATURAL LANDS,URBAN FORESTRYAND TRAILS ADVISORY BOARD of SALT LAKE CITY
and not taking care of what they have now.The Department has used a new platform,
SalesForce,to respond to complaints in the last two years.The Council has access to this, so
there's more visibility on complaints throughout the City. She shared that the Council is
contemplating allocating $200,000 that would go into not Public Land's fund but what they call
non-departmental, and then staff will put together a plan for the spring surge.This would be
using contracted labor to supplement staff's labor. Ms. Riker that Mr. Murdock pointed out that
about 60% of the planners' and landscape architects'jobs are working on capital asset renewal
projects, such as the Reimagine Neighborhoods happening all over the City. Many of these parks
and spaces will get some upgrades,which they call capital renewal, but it's also called deferred
maintenance.There are 87 active projects with much public interest, so they asked for two more
in conjunction with engineering. If they're putting out projects faster, engineering needs to be
able to build them faster.
Ms. Larsen shared her screen to display Public Land's social media page. Ms. Riker said on June
1", there was the grand opening of the new playground at Taufer Park. She said it was a
collaboration between Delta, KaBoom, the Jazz, and Public Lands. Ms. Carmen and Ms. Larsen
noted there were over 100 volunteers. Public Lands paid for and installed the pour, which is
currently curing.The playground should be ready for kids to play on that weekend. Delta
donated $10,000 for maintenance,which was a happy surprise. She shared how happy the
community was with this new playground. Because the playground was donated, the $750,000
from the GO Bond that would be spent on this park can now go towards enhancing the rest of
the park. Ms. Cannon said she wishes there was a foundation to look into these opportunities
and find connections on how improvements can come from private dollars and private
volunteers. Ms. Finch asked how this all worked. Ms. Riker said that Delta and the Jazz played for
the playground. KaBoom is the organizer, and they're the ones who get the sponsors and
manage the applications that cities can apply for.This is the second one the City has done with
KaBoom. Ms. Nakamura asked how many volunteers were local and community-based. Ms.
Larsen said she helped with coordination and thinks there were less than 30 local community-
based volunteers; it was mainly Delta.The Board and staff continued to discuss the Taufer Park
Playground and the Public Lands' budget.
Ms. Finch asked if the deferred maintenance is a 10-year plan in which staff hopes to deal with
overall maintenance across the City and if that is visible on the website. Ms. Binnebose said it
was like a needs assessment for assets. Ms. Riker said they're working on a strategic plan for
asset renewal.A bid has gone out to obtain a consultant who will look at all the asset renewal
and impact fees, how best to spend those funds, and where the staff's most significant needs
are. Ms. Riker said this would be a five to ten-year strategic plan. Ms. Finch asked if this was on
the website. Ms. Riker said no because the work hasn't been done yet. Once a consultant is
selected and there's more information to share, staff will provide updates. The Board and staff
continued to discuss deferred maintenance.
Ms. Nakamura said that regarding the 9-Line Trail, staff should return to the contractor as the
landscaping looks like they planted weeds. She asked if there was a plan in place to correct this.
Ms. Riker said that it probably won't happen with that project. Ms. Riker shared that the project
didn't follow this particular agreement. Still, when a contractor delivers a project, they are
supposed to maintain that space for a year after it's delivered to ensure the landscaping done is
promising. She shared that the contractor said this agreement wasn't included in the contract,
but they will do that in the future. Ms. Nakamura asked what they would be doing about the
current status. Ms. Riker said they have staff refurbishing this area. Ms. Nakamura said she's the
weeds getting mowed, and the middle section looks great, but it's along the 9-Line trail. Ms. Riker
PARKS,NATURAL LANDS,URBAN FORESTRYAND TRAILS ADVISORY BOARD of SALT LAKE CITY
said she would reach out to engineering to see if they're doing anything to fix that as Public
Lands doesn't have the money to landscape it, but it does have water, and if the staff has a plan,
the Board would love to hear about it.The Board and staff continued to discuss the 9-Line.
6. Staff Presentations, Updates& Discussions 5:45 PM
A. Emerald Ribbon - Makaylah Maponga 30 mins
Ms. Maponga shared her screen to display the Emerald Ribbon presentation. Ms. Maponga
reminded the Board that the Emerald Ribbon is an action plan initially labeled as a master plan.
They changed this so it's not solely labeled as a communal consensus vision for what the Jordan
River would be, but it will also have two crucial action deliverables.The first is a list of capital
improvement projects they need to make the vision come to life, and the second is the
operations and maintenance guidelines.They are working closely with the Trails& Natural Lands
team to ensure everyone is on the same page. Ms. Maponga highlighted the work already begun;
the second round of engagement was completed in March, when they presented three concepts
to the public.They are now getting into site planning.Their next significant phase is in July, with
one last round of public engagement and workshops. Based on the first two rounds of
engagement,they developed five guiding principles,which act as the foundation of their
concepts and keep staff on track with their progress.
- Celebrate the rich ecological and cultural diversity of the corridor
- Connect the corridor to surrounding streets,trails, and waterways
- Cultivate collective care of the corridor
- Restore and enhance the river ecosystem as a peaceful refuge
- Create a safe and vibrant destination
Staff presented three concepts to the public back in March, which were:
- Meandering Moments - a restored nature education and recreation corridor with hubs of
activity at parks.
- Dynamic Districts - a vibrant, ever-changing corridor that celebrates the diversity of West
Side neighborhoods.
- River Ribbons - a mobility-focused corridor with unique spaces for passing through,
spending time, and enjoying the water.
Staff continued to speak about the proposed concepts and received feedback. Based on the
public's feedback, most respondents wanted to see the Meandering Moments (nature concept).
People want to see a natural corridor and activation that makes sense. From the public's
feedback, the staff's big takeaways were:
- Care For Nature: prioritize care for nature
- Enhanced Trail System: enhanced connectivity, safety, and experience
- Sense of Safety: people feel unsafe along the corridor
- Activation in a Healthy Way: encourage activation of the river...in a thoughtful and
sustainable way
Staff selected five sites they felt had much opportunity to improve nature, culture, and
connectivity. They hope to show these renderings at different community events beginning next
week. The five sites are:
- Glendale Oxbow
- Modesto Park
- Fairpark Urban Core,which is Fisher Mansion to the Fair Park to North Temple area
- Cottonwood Park
- Rose Park Nature Area
Glendale Oxbow
PARKS,NATURAL LANDS,URBAN FORESTRYAND TRAILS ADVISORY BOARD of SALT LAKE CITY
Staff imagines this being a more natural space, and it's not very accessible to residents. Hence,
it's an excellent opportunity to lean into more wildlife, wetlands, increased floodplains, and
native landscaping. One proposal is a trail on the west side of the river,which would avoid the
need for a bridge. Ms. Nakamura asked if there is a landscape buffer along the golf course or
would be developed more if a trail was put in on that side. Ms. Maponga said they would have to
develop it a little more, and right now, there's a "no man's land." Golf has its section they
maintain, and Trails & Natural Lands has theirs, but this is an excellent opportunity to go in with
a little more attention to the landscape of that area.The Board and staff continued discussing
the Glendale Oxbow area concept.
Ms. Riker asked if bikes and dogs were allowed in that area and if that would change. Ms.
Maponga said they aren't proposing access to the oxbow but creating a preserve area with a nice
overlook and more visibility. Staff is also proposing a trailhead option. Ms. Binnebose asked if the
area was in good shape or if they'd have to do a lot of restoration. Ms. Maponga said when they
spoke to Golf, because of the camping, they are mowing a lot in this area to try and deter people
from lingering in the area. In one way, it's good because there's a bit of a blank slate. The Board
and staff continued discussing the Glendale Oxbow area.
Modesto Park
Ms. Maponga said many of the existing amenities operate on the back end of the park.There's
an urban treehouse and a few nature play elements, but much of it has fallen into disrepair.
There are also some existing wetlands and an older playground. Staff proposes swapping these
amenities as many currently feel like they're behind people's houses and hidden. They want to
bring it all to the other side and create what they're calling a community front porch with the
amenities facing the street from houses, where they would be easily accessible and create an
active edge to the park. Some proposed amenities are sitting areas overlooking the existing
wetland area and river, barbecue areas,formalizing Fremont Ave as a trailhead, and adjusting
the boat ramp location.Additionally, staff is posting a new entrance into the park off of 9th West.
Ms. Cannon asked if staff would have to acquire land to create the new entrance. Ms. Maponga
said no, it is currently a dirt road,which Public Lands owns.They propose moving the playground
and making a formal grass area, amphitheater, or outdoor classroom.The Board and staff
continued to discuss the Modesto Park area.
Fairpark Urban Core
This is the North Temple to Fisher Mansion area, and it's a bit tricker than the other locations
because the City doesn't own a lot of property in this area.This section is about how to approach
development and partnerships with adjacent landowners. Part of what the consultant is doing
here is developing tools and language for talking to them and creating those partnerships, such
as working with planning to require developers to tie into the trail when building along the river
frontage.There's a lot of upcoming growth in this area.They are leaning into the two prevalent
landmarks, the Fisher Mansion and GatsbyTraiIhead. Ms. Pehrson asked what kind of
specifications and talking points have happened with those discussions as she knows the power
district has ideas about what they want to do with this area. Ms. Maponga shared a conversation
with them a month ago, during which the power district shared renderings for what they want to
build in the area and asked how they all can integrate moving forward. Staff said they could
share their engagement with them, and there hasn't been much discussion since.The Board and
staff continued to discuss the power district and Fairpark Urban Core. Ms. Finch asked what the
more significant material changes the staff plans to make for this area. Ms. Maponga said this
area differs from the others because they're not proposing improvements. Still,the opportunity
they are highlighting here is the potential for an on-grade trail -creating opportunities for loops
PARKS,NATURAL LANDS,URBAN FORESTRYAND TRAILS ADVISORY BOARD of SALT LAKE CITY
here with trails on both sides to make room for on-street activation. Ms. Cannon and Ms.
Nakamura noted to keep this area in mind for the Urban Trails Committee's work with the
Folsom Trail.
Cottonwood Park
Staff proposes formalizing the trail alongside the westside as either a paved or soft surface trail
and making it an official part of the trail system.The consultant renderings show a potential food
forest with the Ogwai Garden in partnership with Wasatch Community Gardens. One of the
suggestions is to improve the circulation of some of the walkways.They are additionally
improving the trailhead on Redwood Road as an access point to the river. Mr. Scrivner
commented on the naming of Cottonwood Park, as many parks in the county have the same
name. Ms. Riker said there is a naming policy. Mr. Scrivner said the CIP application would be an
excellent opportunity to rename the park. Ms. Riker said renaming could be part of Reimagine
Neighborhood Parks' ensuring they're appropriately named. Ms. Maponga noted this isn't
something they've explored, and she explained that these renderings are the current depth of
design that they're doing as part of the action plan.The next step would be to assess feasibility,
but she thinks it's something they can explore.The Board and staff continued to discuss park
naming.
Rose Park Nature Area
This rendering image represents a history of conversations with our Golf division about the
potential shift from the driving range into more of a public open space.This could be an excellent
option for a nature preserve, something like Fife or Cornell, where there are overlook areas into
some wetland landscaping and natural areas where there's not a ton of public access, but
including public amenities with scenic overlooks, nature playground, having some activation of
the old buildings at the Roots Disc Golf Course, and discussing partnerships with Golf when it
comes to the Rose Park Clubhouse and ways to enhance the clubhouse and introduce
community uses as the clubhouse gets a lot of use from people using the trail. Ms. Nakamura
asked if Golf was willing to lose a driving range. Ms. Maponga said there's willingness.
Ms. Maponga said staff will launch many materials next, showing these images and asking for
feedback and comments. She highlighted several events staff will be tabling in the downtown
area. She shared that the final public workshops are on July 101h from 4-8 PM at Sorenson Unity
Center and July 111h from 4-8 PM at Mestizo Coffee House. Ms. Cannon asked who the consultant
project was. Ms. Maponga said Agency Landscaping& Planning is the primary consultant, and
they are based out of Boston, the sub-consultants are Siglo Group,who are doing the ecological
planning, and University Neighborhood Partners, a local nonprofit community engagement. Ms.
Maponga passed out some new stickers.The Board thanked Ms. Maponga for her time.
B. Staff Updates. -Ashlyn Larsen 5 mins
Ms. Larsen said that Ms. Pontuti is officially the D3 representative. Staff has submitted a
recommendation to the Mayor's office for the At-Large position.There are two candidates for the
D6 position that staff are interviewing. Ms. Larsen mentioned in a previous meeting that the
Board inquired about a consolidated fee schedule presentation and asked the Board if they were
still interested in that. Ms. Riker said they could do that in August. She said the Council had made
some adjustments that would be good to share. Ms. Finch and Ms. Cannon said this would be a
good idea. Ms. Larsen said she's still waiting on two OPMA certificates. She will resend the link.
She reminded the Board that the July meeting is canceled.
PARKS,NATURAL LANDS,URBAN FORESTRYAND TRAILS ADVISORY BOARD of SALT LAKE CITY
Mr. Scrivner asked Mr.Whittaker and Mr. Carrol about departing the Board and what happened
with the Foothills Committee. Ms. Benally is still on the Board but has missed many of the
meetings due to travel. Mr. Scrivner offered her support. Ms. Riker said the At-Large position
staff recommended is interested in the Foothills and could be a nice asset on the committee. Ms.
Cannon said she would like to see the committee present findings or adjust the scope,
considering many changes.The Board and staff continued to discuss the Foothills Committee
and Board member term expirations.
7. Board Discussion 6:20 PM
A. Subcommittee Reporting 15 mins
Bylaws Committee
Ms. Finch said the Bylaws are working on a non-PNUT member template form for committees
and will have a draft for discussion in August. Ms. Hewson asked Ms. Finch if she had received
the Google Doc that she updated. Ms. Finch said she received a draft and included some
comments. She said it would be the topic of conversation when they meet in July, and she invited
Ms. Hewson to that meeting.
Communications Committee
Ms. Binnebose said that the committee did not meet this last month, but they will have some
action items for the next meeting for the presentation process.
Jordan River Trail Committee
Ms. Pehrson said they are working on getting on the Jordan River Foundation agenda for their
meeting. She shared that they discussed the committee's goals and plans and how they might
overlap with the Jordan River Foundation, specifically potentially connecting businesses around
certain geographical locations and contributing funding. She said they have a list of corporations
that donate and are interested in making it more geographically specific. Ms. Pehrson said they
are happy to help find funders or house funds.The organization is a 501 c3. Ms. Pehrson asked if
there were any stipulations for Public Lands to utilize these funds. Ms. Riker said she's unaware
of any stipulations, but they are welcome to create a 501 c3. Ms. Pehrson said they would use the
one already made with the Jordan River Foundation. Ms. Riker shared some examples of other
organizations that have a 501 c3. The Board and staff continued to discuss funding.
Ms. Pehrson said she spoke with Public Lands staff about installing kiosks in specific areas and
seeking funding from organizations to build these.These kiosks would have a QR code and
additional information about the work being done in the area. Ms. Riker said light fundraising for
a kiosk could be okay, and further conversation with Public Lands staff would need to happen to
discuss maintenance.They could treat this like a donation. The Board and staff continued to
discuss the Jordan River Trail Committee.
Urban Trails Committee
Ms. Nakamura said she missed the Transportation Advisory Board (TAB) meeting. She wasn't
able to get onto the June meeting. She can join the August agenda to discuss potential TAB
members joining the committee.TAB doesn't meet until August 5th so that she can bring the
recommended TAB members to the committee in September. Ms. Cannon invited Board
members to join. Ms. Pehrson and Ms. Pontuti are interested in joining.
B. Board comments and question period 10 mins
PARKS,NATURAL LANDS,URBAN FORESTRYAND TRAILS ADVISORY BOARD of SALT LAKE CITY
Ms. Cannon thanked Parks staff for fixing an irrigation issue at two separate parks. Parks staff
showed up within 10 minutes to fix the problem, and she shared how happy the community was
with the response time.
Ms. Benally asked if the Communications Committee could help her draft a letter for the
Indigenous Commission for the Board to review in August.The Committee said they'd be happy
to help.
Ms. Cannon said great events are happening in the City and commented on how great the social
media channel is.The Board and staff highlighted a few upcoming events, such as Yappy Hour,
Yoga in the Park,Jefferson Park movie night, and the drone shows. Ms. Riker said that the drone
shows will have QR codes for people to scan to learn more about the drone shots in the sky.The
Board and staff continued to discuss upcoming events.
Ms. Binnebose shared a constituent shared some concerns with her regarding invasive weeds at
Miller Park. She said she's unsure about the City's policy on foxtail weeds. Ms. Riker said she
would like the Trails& Natural Lands supervisor to respond. Ms. Binnebose said she'll forward
those emails to staff to review. Ms. Nakamura asked about invasive weeds along the Jordan River
Trail. The Board and staff continued to discuss invasive weeds.
Ms. Finch said she would like some information regarding native planting and policies. Ms. Riker
said staff would love to do a presentation on this. She shared that after several years of having a
part-time restoration ecologist,the staff now has a full-time position and could share their work.
The Board and staff continued to discuss native planting and species.
Ms. Riker said they may be moving the meeting location downstairs as staff is working on
creating more space as the team grows. She shared they want to switch staff to the training
room, with natural light, and move the meeting room downstairs. She is unsure when this will
occur, and they will be moving the PNUT meetings to the Fisher Carriage House when
construction happens.
C. Next meeting:August 1, 2024
D. Request for future agenda items 5 mins
Ms. Finch requested time to discuss the form for non-PNUT members and committees.The
Board discussed wishing they had known that Mr. Carroll and Mr.Whittaker were leaving the
Board. Ms. Cannon motioned to adjourn the meeting. Ms. Binnebose seconded the motion.The
Board unanimously voted to adjourn the meeting.
8. Adjourn 7:15 PM
