SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The City of McCall is applying for funding from the Idaho Dept. of Commerce to alleviate conditions of slum and blight within the downtown core redevelopment area. Specifically, grant
funds are requested to purchase street and intersection lighting to improve pedestrian safety and encourage economic development as part of the city’s Downtown Core Reconstruction Project
which includes sewer and water system improvements, curb, gutter, sidewalk, storm water improvements, undergrounding of utilities, and streetscape improvements including street trees
and lighting with an overall estimated cost of $8,990,946 (all phases). The purpose of the project is to encourage economic development, increase safe pedestrian access to local businesses,
public facilities and transit, improve the appearance of the downtown area, address infrastructure deficiencies, and comply with ADA standards.
The cost estimate has been developed by Horrocks Engineers. The ICDBG application requests $475,300 for the purchase of seventy (70) light poles and fixtures to be installed along 2nd
Street, Lenora Street, Park Street, and 1st Street, and dedicates $47,530 in in-kind (staff) grant administration services. The ICDBG grant Executive Summary, preliminary budget, cost
summary, a light fixture example, and project maps are attached. The ICDBG application handbook and application forms will be available at the public hearing. A public hearing is a
requirement of the application process and is identified in the ICDBG Citizen Participation Plan which was approved by the Council on October 6, 2011, as part of the City’s 3rd Street
Improvement Project (also ICDBG funded).
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Hold the public hearing on the Idaho Community Development Block Grant application.
Approve submittal of an Idaho Community Development Block Grant application and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
