Spring Clean-up New airport maintenance worker began on the 1st of May
with the first project being “spring clean-up.” With the
snow finally gone, the ramp and taxiways were full of
debris (rocks and dirt). Clean-up was aided by the public
works street sweeper followed by the installation of tie-
down ropes. Seasonal tie-down customers are signing up
early this year knowing that we were full last year.

Permits
Twelve permits with a total of 24 sewer hookups were
issued May 1. Staff has implemented a revision in the
monthly allocation of the 156 residential building
permits we allocate annually per the Wastewater
Policy. The revised allocation is attached.
The historic trends we used for the original allocation
resulted from the ability to walk in and obtain a
permit. This is no longer the case in McCall. Owners
and contractors now have to plan for construction.
Providing more permits earlier in the construction
season is appropriate.

46 Golf Build out across
Street.
I have been unable to get any preliminary numbers from
anyone due to the fact they say they are all very busy
and don’t want to spend much time on plans and costs
unless they are going to be awarded the job. I am trying
another local builder to get something that is just a ball
park to allow us to make a decision.

Update
47 Golf Greens clearing All the putting greens are cleared and most covers off.
We have experienced some disease breakouts under the
snow cover from the last two weeks that were pretty
significant. The product life I believe simply wore out
and soil condition on the original 18 greens made the
opportunity for disease to breakout. All the Cedar
greens which are a sand based profile are in excellent
condition but the vole damage from those little buggers
is the worst that I have ever seen. This is going to
require a lot of hand labor to rake out those piles then
seed to establish a consistent stand of turf. Very time
consuming.

48 Golf Staffing Interviewing Mechanic candidates on Friday May 5th and

to hire seasonal staff positions and right now I have 3 on

with Whitetail on some of their staff for weekends which
would be a great help for us.
