Box 1065 McCall, ID 83706 RE: McCall Mill Park Conversion, L&WCF #16-00385 Dear Bud: I have reviewed the information you provided me in December From this, I find the city has made significant progress in working toward the resolution of the Mill Park conversion. There are two matters which I have addressed in this letter Unfortunately, I am having trouble reviewing the voluminous package you have provided. The difficulty is as follows: 1. I am finding myself searching for the answers to the questions asked in my May 15, 1990 letter and for information addressing requirements of the conversion packet. Please summarize information as it pertains to these two documents. A summary letter could be provided thus referencing the answers in the city's conversion package. 2. You must tabulate the package according to the index. In reflecting on our December meeting, I find there are still two primary factors which need to be addressed: the fair market value of the replacement property and the mitigation for loss of recreation. The city must decide on the exact replacement property and must make an item by item proposal to mitigate the recreation utility loss. The second purpose of this letter is to address public interest resulting from city's management of the conversion process. Several individuals have made allegations that the city council and the city's administration has misrepresented their intentions and the city's ability to complete this conversion. We have no reason to believe these allegations are true. However, we must pay attention to public interest and concern. Our agency must meet with the "McCall" public at their request. We are obligated by law to address their concerns and to provide them accurate information. This is difficult because of the incomplete status of the conversion process. Because of this, we generally do not have up-to-date information. The public doesn't realize that it takes time to assemble a conversion package. We feel you are doing a good job putting it together. There has been some change in the city's proposed solution to the conversion since the beginning of this process and since the last public meeting held specifically to discuss the city's intentions for the conversion. We feel that it would be beneficial for the city to devise a method of disseminating information regarding the matter to the interested McCall community. In addition, we suggest that once the conversion proposal is completed, that it be advertised for public review and comment. Following this, a public hearing should be conducted and any necessary revisions made before a final conversion proposal is submitted to us. We are sorry we have to make additional demands, but we feel that additional public review would "clear the air" and relieve the burden of us providing this information to the citizens of McCall. We will look forward to continued involvement with the city and to seeing the conversion complete. If I may be of further assistance, please contact me.

Schmidt, City Administrator City of McCall P. 0. Box 1065 McCall, Idaho 83638 Re: Lakefront Park Jensen -belts associates Dear Bud, As directed, I have researched procedures and costs for establishing a tree and shrub planting programowind allowre civic groups ad individuals the opportunity to participate Y de- velopment of Lakefront Park. We had talked sometime earlier con- cerning the establishment of a trust fund for handling monetary do- nations to the Park System. A tree and shrub planting progr would work nicely within such a fund. The cost information that I have developed came from discussions with Kevin Grove of High Mountain Nursery. MATERIAL COST The following tree and shrub species have been selected for use in Lakefront Park: Cost Size Plant 'frees 6 , HT Spruce (Picea pungens) 8' HT Flowering Crab Apple 3/4 Calip- 8'-10' HT 2„ Calip. 10'-12' HT (Halos Sp.) 'Canada Red' Chokecherry 11/4" Calip. 8'-10' HT (Prunus virginiana) 'Purple Rain' Birch (Betula alba purpurea) Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides) Shrubs Artie Willow (Salix purpurea) Alpine Current (Ribes alpinum) Potentill.a (Potentilla fruticosa) $ 60.00 $ 80.00 $ 45.00 $150.00 $ 50.00 5 Gal. 8' HT $ 40.00 7 Gal. 8'-10' HT 2" Calip. 12'-)4' HT 5 Gal. 2'-3' HT 5 Gal. 2'-3' HT 3 Gal. 18"-20" HT $ 45.00 $150.00 $ 25.00 $ 20.00 $ 15.00 GHIL VJAFU TEL No.342-7994 Dec. 3,90 1E:09 P.03 Page 2 The prices should be adequate through the 1991 planting season. However, there is some question as to availability and cost of. Aspen (Populus tremuloides) which is one of the tree species we would like to use in the Park. INSTALLATION COST Installation costs are based upon a $20.00 per hour labor charge. Kevin estimates an hour of labor for installation of a small tree. An installation cost of $20.00 per tree or shrub as a minimum is somewhat nebulous. Two small trees and a larger number of shrubs can most likely be planted for about the same installation cost. Larger trees may require more time and if planting conditions are less than ideal (ie rocky or wetan $20soils, .00 plimiter ed access) installa- tion costs could be higher DONATION PROCEDURE I recommend that you establish a standard donation figure that may be in excess of.,what it costs to purchase and routinely install a tree or shrub. Then when additional money may be required to in- stall material, there will be supplemental money to draw from the fund. As a suggestion: Donation Item Instailed reen Tree (Spruce) 6' H Small Fverg T $100.00 p Large Evergreen Tree (Spruce) 8' HT $120.00 Small Ornamental Tree (Crabapple) 7 $ 85.00 HT $185.00 Large Ornamental Tree (Crabapple) 10 ' HT Small Deciduous Shade Tree 8' HT $ 90.00 Large Deciduous Shade Tree 12' HT $185.00 Small Shrubs (in lots of 5) 18"-20".HT $110.00 Large Shrubs (in lots of 5) 2'^3' HT $160.00 MISCELLANEOUS 1) 1 recommend that you develop some type of agreement with High Mountain Nursery in McCall to provide and install the material on an "as needed" basis. He is a good nurseryman and contractor, he his etherplants, theyewilldcome1withCalone7f he provides and year guarantee installs against death (assuming good care). 2) We do not have specific numbers of trees and shrubs available yet. This should not be a problem early on in the process. If it does become an issue we can approximate numbers. ---_______ ------= --------------- IL WARD TEL No.342-7994 Dec. 3,90 16 10 P.04 ----- Page 3 stimulate more questions. most likely will most likely be procedures This discussion will Additional details concerning� necessary, but this will get us started.
