MISSION STATEMENT: The mission of the Open Space and Trails Division is to acquire and manage open space and create a comprehensive trail system so that each citizen has the opportunity to experience the beauty of Broomfield’s natural environment and to walk or bike to a variety of destinations.

Open Space & Trails Advisory Committee

Open Space and Trails Advisory Committee (OSTAC)

The Open Space and Trails Advisory Committee is made up of seven citizen members at large (appointed by city council), one ex officio, non-voting council member, and one ex officio alternate. The OSTAC advises the city council on amendments to the open space element of the master plan. The committee is charged with the responsibility of making recommendations to the city council regarding:

  • the acquisition of open space parcels;
  • the location, type and timing of trail segments and crossings, and;
  • the long-range plan for open space use and management.

The next meeting of the OSTAC will be on Thursday, July 23, 2009, at 6 p.m. The meeting will be in the Zang Spur Room, located on the lower level of the City and County Building.
