Linde, Brigid Lawrence, and high school representative Austin Shotwell. City Staff
members Dennis Coyle and Mark Pernell were also present.
2. Open Meeting Law Review: Staff updated committee members on requirements for
quorum, meeting dates, and agenda items identified in the minutes the month prior.
3. Staff Report
a. Parks: Staff updated members on completion of Rotary Park completion for season.
Also, update on Wildhorse Park work will begin an urban forest project on the property at
708 Thompson Ave. known as Wildhorse Park. Work is scheduled to begin early Winter
2015 if weather allows or in the Spring 2016 if not. The scope of the project will be
three -fold: 1st to remove dead and diseased trees, 2nd to clear understory vegetation
ladder fuels in alignment with Firewise principles & sound fire safety principles, and 3rd
to serve as an example of responsible urban forestry management that is fire & disease
resistant, aesthetically pleasing, and more accessible to community.
b. Programs: Staff updated members on Fall/Winter programs in place and on track for
the winter.
6. Pump Bike Track: PRAC members would like to see McCall have a pump track either
adjacent to skate park or at Riverfront Park. Riverfront has the most space to develop a track but
no amenities and the skatepark has amenities but not a lot of room. The pump track would be
relatively low cost and would help elevate McCall to a Gold -Level Ride Center status that is an
international rating system. McCall is currently rated as a Silver -Level Ride Center. PRAC
members would like to further discuss development/design and for future meetings.
7. Advisory Committee Issues/Concerns: PRAC members would like to set more goals to
work toward moving forward.
