Answers to Questions Resardins the Re-Draftins of the Prairie Dos Ordinance
Is there a communication process to inform the city of possible prairie dog
extermination on non-city-owned land? At the August 19 Conned meeting, Council
suspended enforcement of the cuuent prairie dog and bird sanctuary ordinances At this
point, property owners can poison prairie dogs and birds without regulation by the city
The only city regulation to effect is Che pesticide notification ordinance.
Any removal of prairie dogs would be subJect to the regulations under Title 6 Health,
Safety and Sanitation, Chapter 10 Pesticide Use of the Boulder Revised Code under Pre-
apphcation notification of airborne application (6-10-11). Two elements of providing
notice that may be of interest to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board are:
a notice will be given at least twenty-four hours prior to application
notice may be given by posting sings on the property to be treated or by giving verbal
or written notice; the policy m full can be accessed by the following link -
httn•//www ci boulder.co us/cao/brc/6-l0.html
Will we see a draft of the prairie dog ordinance before it goes to Council? Council
asked that staff return m a timeframe no longer than 60 days (and sooner, rf possible)
with suggested amendments or alternative approaches Assistant City Attorney Jerry
Gordon updated Council on Sept. 16 on the proposed direction that staff is taking for
ordinance revision and public involvement. Council liked the approach and will receive
another update on October 21.
Staff anticipates meeting wrth animal nghts groups and property owners before the
ordinance rs drafted Staff also plans on getting input on a draft ordinance ftom the Parks
and Recreation Advisory Board, Open Space Board of Trustees and the Environmental
Advisory Board before retui nmg to Council. Then to be adopted as code, the ordinance
must go through a general process of two readings with public hearings al two regularly
scheduled Council meetings. In order to get input from the public and appropriate
boards, the timeline for i eturning to Council would be no earlier than November.
If Council decides to adopt the ordinance on an emergency basis, there would still be a
first reading and public hearing scheduled at a Council meeting. That would be the;
opportunity for comment on the ordinance We will keep the Parks and Recreation
Advisory Board apposed of the schedule and will provide information and 1mks to the
draft ordinance once it becomes a public document
Could prairie dogs be exterminated on lands that are part of joint use agreerrients?
Land that is owned by the City of Boulder is still under the ausprces of the current
ordinance and is controlled by city policy Land Jointly purchased by the Crty of Boulder
and another Jurisdretion would be subject to the stipulations of the land purchase
agreement. The Crty is recommending that any entity dealing wrth prairie dog relocation
efforts work cooperatively wrth the City to develop non-lethal strategies for handling the
situation
Attachment B-1
Land Issues at Maxwell Lake Park
The Parks and Recreation Department has been dealing with three separate encroachment
issues at Maxwell Lake Park during the past fcw years During the April, 2003 Parks and
Recreation Advisoiy Board meeting, the Board approved, m a public hearing, the
disposal of parkland and a settlement agreemenC with Viola Lange and Robeii and
Andrea Feder. The third encroachment is a land issue involving a 10 foot land "step"
adJacent to property owned by Joan Hill. The PRAB has previously heard about this
issue and some of the PRAB members visited this area during an April 23, 2003 tour to
Maxwell Lake Park
The PRAB was individually polled in April and a majority agreed to proceed wrth a trial
against Mrs Hrll for the encroachment issues. The matter was tired m Boulder Municipal
Court on June 9-1Q 2003. Judge Daniel Hale presided The Judge recently rssued a
Finding oC Fact and Ruling m this issue Unfortunately, the Judge did not rule m favor of
the City In hrs written report, Judge Hale found that the land "Slap" was different from
the "Larger Park" parcel (Maxwell Lake Park) He limited hrs analysts Co Just Che Strip.
Judge Hale ruled that there was not a statutory dedrearion on this land He also found that
while there was intent by the developer Albneo, to dedicate the Strip as an access
easement, there was not sufficient evidence that the Ctty took actions which showed
acceptance of that offer of dedication as to the Strip He acknowledged that the rest of
the Maxwell Lake Park was dedicated and accepted but not the Strrp He therefore rssued
a ruling which genets title to the Strrp to Mrs. Hill, subJecC to a utility casement owned by
the Ctty.
The Department could appeal Judge Hale's ruling but we have chosen not to appeal Thrs
decision was made upon recommendations by the City Attorney's office, as well as Bill
Schell, the City's outside legal counsel on this issue
At this time, Mrs Hill has filed a motion against the Ctty seeking over $100,000 m
attorney fees The City has filed a motion asking the Court to deny Che Hill's motion for
Award of Attorney Fees and has requested that the Court conduct a hearing from which a
clear record as to the CourC's determination can be made.

Parks and Recreation User Fees for 2004
Each year the City of Boulder updates permits, fines, and user fees in the Boulder
Revised Codes, 1981 4-20 Departments are asked to submit revised fees at this time for
adoption with the 2004-OS Budget. The new fees are effective on Januaiy 1 each year.
For your information, the updated user fees that the Parks and Recreation Department
submitted for revision aie included in this item as Attachment C-2 These fees have been
increased incrementally over the 2003 fees to cover increased operating costs for 2004.
The Department is beginning a fee study that will provide a comprehensive review
resulting in a refinement of these fees for the 2005 budget
Note class and program fees are not included m the codified fees because each class fee is
based on the numbei and length of the class and this varies each session. Also which
classes are offered changes based on customer feedback, usage, instructor availability,
and recrearion trends This variability does noC allow for set fees Class fees vary from
about $3 00 an hour foi Kid's Camp and some EXPAND classes to $30.00 an hour for
private instruction and golf chmcs Most classes range fiom $5 00 to $10.00 an hour.
These fees are provided to the PRAB for informational purposes only and the PRAB is
not required to take any action relative to Chese fees
