MINUTES
JUNE 20, 1991
ATTENDING: KATHY KILLEN, CHAIR
DEAN MARTENS
TOMI GROTE
CRAIG BAKER, REC. DIRECTOR
1. BEAR BASIN ROAD
DARLA WILLIAMSON
CRAIG JOHNSON
VALOIS CHARLES
Mr. Johnson informed the committee that the land starting at the
Bear Basin Road and running 3/4 mile is privately owned and zoned
one(1) in ten(10) acres. At current, property owners are unable to
develop their land due to the road being unmaintained. Since the road
is inside of McCall city limits property owners are asking for the city
to obtain ownership of and maintain the road and petition the Forest
Service to develop at trail head for snow machines to depart from at a
point past the 3/4 mile of private property. The property owners feel
that the current winter trail head will promote trespassing by snow
machines if they were to build a dwelling on their property.
Tomi Grote moved to recommend to the council, that if it is
determined by the transportation committee that a safety hazard or
trespassing of private property in the Bear Basin area is occurring as
a result of recreation use, we would recommend that steps be taken to
develop a trail head beyond the private property.
2. LAKE FRONT PARK UPDATE
See administrators report(attachment "A").
Committee discussed starting a shopping list in the Star News of
materials and labor needs and items already donated for the new park.
The committee feels this may create a snowball effect and get the
entire community involved in the development of the new park.
Committee decided it wants to see activity in the new park prior
to the naming of it.
Committee was informed that the covered cart parking area located
near the old golf course clubhouse site has been rented. Committee
would like to see this money being moved into the park budget, since
the property was purchased from the Golf Course through the bond issue.
3. DAVIS BEACH RESTROOM REQUEST
Committee was informed that restroom facilities have been
requested for Davis Beach.
Staff informed committee it would cost $750.00 to $850 to purchase
a portable restroom. In addition, staff reported that it would cost
$50.00 for to rent a portable from McCall Rental four(4) weeks, plus
$20.00 to have it pumped whenever it was in need.
Dean Martens moved to recommend to the council that the city find
a way to provide at least one restroom facility for Davis Beach for the
remainder of the summer and provide for permanent facilities for the
future.

b. Recreation director currently trying to coordinate area

Council member to walk a piece of property for consideration of
possible purchase.
6. OTHER BUSINESS
Western Charters is presently docking illegally at Mill Park and
has requested permission to build a dock and donate it back to the
city. Chair has asked police to check into illegal docking - and is
not interested in docks at this site.
Chair received a call from Tim Duffner(Dept. Lands) asking what
Parks and Recreation thought about May Hardware expansion. Staff
delivered a copy of the Parks and Recreation, May 8, 1991 Meeting
Minutes to Mr. Duffner.
7. INFORMATION UPDATE

Payette Forest Service. The Forest Service and the local Snowmobile
Association are working together in planning a trail head to service
the Bear Mountain area. It will be located 2 miles North of the
Brundage Mountain Look Out Road on Highway 55.

Dear Don;
At the City Council Meeting of 6/13, we both stated the feasibility of
proceeding with the Lakefront Park Restroom independent of the rest of
the project. While the project is held up by the Corps of Engineers, this
would allow visible progress to be made on one aspect this summer. I
have one major concern, however. Bidding a public project, providing the
insurance & bonds required, and dealing with the contract administration
required has certain costs to the contractor associated with it. With the
restroom broken out as a separate project, it would have these significant
administration and overhead costs loaded on it. As you are well aware,
there has already been considerable concern expressed about the cost of
the restroom facility. I fear that these additional expenses could drive
the restroom higher than would be accepted by the City Council or the
public.
Very truly yours;
Andrew Laidlaw

Senator Steve Symms

Boise, Idaho 83706
Dear Senator,
On June 13, during their regular meeting, the McCall City
Council was advised that its application for a 404 Wetlands
Permit would be further delayed beyond the statutory 60 day
review period for an additional 60-75 days. This delay is
apparently occurring in the Walla Walla District office of
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers which is charged with
administering the legislation.
We are trying to build a park. The citizens of McCall
passed a bond issue in June of 1988 and we have worked
since then to acquire 15 parcels to construct a lakefront
park and a recreational route through the city. Our
construction plans are complete and this permit delay is
the last major hurdle. As an aside, we have worked with
the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation and the
National Park Service in a land conversion which has been
very complicated. The personnel at both the state and
local level have been responsive and capable.
Many hours of thoughtful and creative work from various
individuals have helped us with this element of the
project.
This additional delay means that the city would be able to
obtain the Wetlands Permit no earlier than August 15. We
have a very short construction season here in the
mountains. This delay may well cause another year's delay
of the project completion. The Wetlands which we intend to
remove and replace with an enhancement of a riverside
wetland have been reviewed by the Boise area Corps
representative, Greg Martinez. He too has been helpful
and responsive to our needs.

Little League Coordinators
Little League Coaches
Junior Olympic Softball Coaches
Cascade, Council, New Meadows, Riggins, & McCall
Dear Coaches and League Coordinators
During the last several years I have watched the Little League and
Girls Softball programs grow in size and popularity. My hats tipped to
you coordinators and coaches who have made these programs such a
success. It is my belief that these programs play a vital role in
the healthy growth of Central Idaho's youth. However the fast growth
of Little League and Girls Softball has not been without its problems.
Many of the problems that arise during the season of play comes from a
lack of communication between our coaches, coordinators and towns. I
believe that many of these problems can be alleviated by a simple
meeting of the minds. I propose a meeting of all coaches and
coordinators on Tuesday, July 9, 7:00pm at the Pizza Parlor in New
- Meadows(the most central spot I could think of).
The meeting in my vision would start with every one introducing
themselves with their name and length of experience with Central Idaho
Little League. Next the meeting would break into three small groups of
people: 1) Coaches of Girls Softball 2) Coaches of Minor League
Baseball 3) Coaches of Major League Baseball. While in these groups
coaches would first evaluate the past season and then set rules
concerning pitching distances, ages ect. Finally, the small groups
would come together as one large group, report on their findings
and put the 1992 season together.
I strongly believe that communication and evaluation create all great
programs as well as great relations, businesses, friendships, ect.64,
Please let me know if you can attend this meeting 634-7142.
Once again my hats are tipped to those coaches and coordinators for
your hard work and dedication to Central Idaho's youth.
Sincerely,
c
Craig R. Baker
Recreation Director
