City adopted Civility Guidelines
Listen First
•We will make an honest effort to understand views and reasoning of others by
listening to understand, not listening to find fault, allowing thoughtful
discussion to lead to the best possible outcomes.
Respect Different Opinions
•We will invite and consider different perspectives, allowing space for ideas to
be expressed, opposed and clarified in a constructive manner.
Show Courtesy
•We will treat all colleagues, staff and members of the public in a professional
and courteous manner whether in person, online, or in written
communication, especially when we disagree.
Criticize Constructively
•We strive to advance solutions to community issues; when faced with
disagreement, we do more than simply share our concerns with differing
positions, we work to propose a course of action of mutual benefit.
Debate the Policy Not the Person
•We will focus on the issues, and not personalize debate or use other tactics
that divert attention from the issue.

Expanded Winter Open Space Hours of Use
City Council Hearing ~ March 16, 2021
Fiscal and Staffing Impacts:
1.Direct fiscal impacts associated with the Pilot Program have been
relatively minor consisting of expenditures and purchasing of new field
equipment, printing costs for the new educational materials and signs,
biological surveys, and implementation of the reservation-based permit
system.To continue, no further equipment purchases are necessary.
2.Additional Ranger Service staff resources would be needed for
oversight, education, patrol, and monitoring efforts necessary to
conduct a permanent program. Otherwise, available Ranger Service
staff hours and availability for other purposes will continue to be
limited.
3.Although there is an assumed level of risk with use of Open Space,
emergency response personnel from the Fire Department would
continue to have the possibility of difficult and challenging rescue
situations. One call for assistance was made at Cerro San Luis Natural
Reserve during the Pilot Program.
51
Expanded Winter Open Space Hours of Use
City Council Hearing ~ March 16, 2021

of the Cerro San Luis Natural Reserve Conservation Plan.
