Open Space and Trails Advisory Board

When Arapahoe County voters approved a 0.25 percent sales tax in November 2003 for the preservation of open space, parks and trails, they also created the Open Space and Trails Advisory Board.

The seven-member advisory board is responsible for reviewing proposed projects, making recommendations regarding the distribution of revenue collected from the sales tax and to the municipalities in the County, as well as performing other duties as permitted under the resolution approved by voters.

Members are chosen by the Board of County Commissioners. Five board members represent Commissioner districts and two serve at-large.

Arapahoe County Open Space Trails and Advisory Board members are:
Bev Bradshaw, District 1
Marc Scott, District 2
Larry Sargent, District 3
Linda Strand, District 4
Ellen Belef, District 5
Jack Cooper, At large
Bobbie Sheffield, At large

OSTAB meetings are held 6 p.m., on the fourth Monday each month, at Public Works and Development, 10730 E. Briarwood Ave., Centennial.
