Gentry Property: Have contacted Idaho Foundation for Parks & Lands. The Foundation does not purchase land with it's own money. Land is usually donated to it which is held in trust until it can be used for park development or grant purposes. Money could be donated to the Foundation to purchase land. Sharon Hubler, Executive Director of the Foundation has cautiously indicated that if the Foun ation were to receive money from the City of McCa11_to urchase the Gentry Property, the -Oa -petty -could beheld__ y6 e Foundation for 'Faure grant match purposes by theCity. Her assessment is based upon discussions- with R l-- daCus-t; --Deputy-Attorney General for Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation. However, there appears to be an even greater hurdle. Bud has indicated that it is not legal for the cities within Idaho to gift money. Should the City Attorney be contacted to find out if there is some means by which this can be accomplished? If it can not be accomplished we may not be able to bank the Gentry Property through the Idaho Foundation for Parks and Lands. ir, TEL No Jul . 11 90 16 . 0i9 P .ilk 4. Corporate Contacts: As requested, we are preparing a list of contacts for Albertson's, Morrison Knudsen, Boise Cascade, and Simplot Corporations responsible for corporate donations. We are exploring procedures and timetables as well. Names, procedures, and timetables will be completed by the end of July. 5. Environmental Assessment: We are continuing to work on the Assessment. A11 form letters have been sent to the required governmental agencies requesting input on the proposed trade of land. Four of the nine agencies contacted have sent responses to us as of July 10, 1990. We gave them a July 12, 1990 deadline for responding. The Army Corps of Engineers is the only agency to express any concern at this point. Their consternation is in regards to wet -lands on the proposed park site. We will work with them further to clarify their position. (We may have to prepare a 404 application which deals with the Clean Water Act.) We will keep you appraised.
