The Committee consisted of over 20 active members, and created a memorable event complete with community BBQ, street fair, Navy jet flyover, music, dancing, cake/ice cream and numerous nonprofit and business-sponsored special events. The concept was to have an event that was focused on the local community. It was very well received and the turnout was large. A smaller follow up celebration was held in 2012. The Centennial Committee also wished to create a lasting legacy in tribute to the people, places, and events of McCall and the concept of “Centennial Plaza” was developed. Committee Co-chairs Lyle Nelson and Dean Martens, Project Manager Dave Armstrong, and Committee members Steve Gleason, Steve Forrey, Phil Feinberg, and Mayor Jackie Aymon spearheaded the development and fundraising for the Plaza. Many donors participated, contributing both cash and in-kind materials and labor, and LOT funds were awarded for the project. Brick and jade paver sales generated significant funding for the project. The Committee held a grand opening for the Plaza on July 19, 2015. The last finishing touches, including the installation of bronze donor plaques, have been completed. The official work of the Centennial Committee is complete and the Plaza is under the management of the McCall Parks and Recreation Department.  RECOMMENDED ACTION: Recognize the McCall Centennial Committee for their outstanding efforts and authorize dissolution of the McCall Centennial Committee effective July 13, 2017.
