Airport      Library    TIMELINE: Grant is due January 25, 2018 Information Systems      Grant Coordinator  Supporter  SUMMARY STATEMENT: The City of McCall Parks and Recreation Department is seeking approval for submittal of an Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation (IDPR) Waterways Improvement Fund grant in an amount not to exceed $126,000 (exact grant request TBD) to support construction of new dock systems and public waterfront amenities north of Mile High Marina. The new dock will improve stafety for boaters and non-motorized lake users by replacing a section of the existing log-boom breakwater, alleviating congestion currently occuring at the public dock and boat ramp south of the Marina, and mitigating illegal dumping of docks and debris in the area. If budget allows, a swim platform and booyline is also envisioned offshore north of the new dock, creating a protected area for non-motorized users. An area shoreline plan is enclosed. IDPR administers funds for waterways improvements throughout the state. The City of McCall has applied for and received this funding in the past, most recently in 2015 to improve the City boat launch and access ramp. If the grant is awarded, future Council action will be needed to approve the grant agreement. The McCall Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee, Valley County Waterways Advisory Group, and Mile High Marina owner are aware of this project. Valley County Waterways is in discussion regarding the committement of funds but is in support of the project. The new dock is also consistant with the McCall Redevelopment Agency (MRA) 2006 Lake Front Improvement Plans. Staff will be discussing the project and requesting additional matching funds from the MRA at its second December 2018 meeting. An excerpt of the Lake Front Plan & Map is attached.  RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve submission of an Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation Waterways Improvement Fund grant application and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
