The National Resources Conservation Board (NRCB) needs to identify land desired for open space and recommends specific parcels for City Staff to investigate.
City Staff will contact the land owner to discuss the open space effort and owners desire to in some way preserve the land.
The land owner determines willingness to proceed with discussions.
The land owner is presented with options for preserving the land that include but are not limited to:
City purchasing an open space
Collaborative efforts to partner with land owner in preserving lands
Private trusts to preserve land now and in the future
Private stewardship practices
You need the city staff to prepare up date reports and a final report on land investigations for the NRCB.
You need the NRCB to evaluate staff reports and make a final recommendation to the City Council on the status of specific parcels desired for open space.
