ROLL CALL AND CALL TO ORDER Chair Grote called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Committee members Ware, Killen, and VanKomen answered the roil call. Chair declared a quorum present. Also attending were Kathy Rake, Laurie Braun, Ray McKellar, Molly Eldredge, Nancy Umbach, Rick Fereday, Larry Shake, Mary Naylor and David McBride, and Director Baker. II. MEETING MINUTES - APRIL 25,1994 Killen moved to accept the March 25,1994 minutes as written, seconded by Ware and the motion carried. III. PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT IN MILL PARK - RAKE, BRAUN, McKELLAR, ELDREDGE, SHAKE, NAYLOR,& UMBACH. Chair gave a background description and told the committee and audience that whether to put a playground into Mill Park is not at issue. The city made the commitment of Mill Park to the fundraisers before fundraising began. To reopen the topic after the money has been raised is an act of bad faith. Chair asked committee and audience to restrict their remarks to where the playground will be located in Mill Park. The following summarizes the discussion: Larry Shake -representing Osprey Courts (which owns Brundage Condominiums) and Reed Gillespie Shake informed committee that the people he represents are strongly against placing playground equipment in Mill Park and will consider taking legal action to block the project on the grounds that his constituents were not involved enough a year ago when original approval was granted. Chair reviewed the intensive efforts the committee has used to involve the public in particular Mr. Gillespie and Mr. Shake's superior, Judd DeBoer—in this decision. She noted: • A review of the committee's minutes will show that a representative of Osprey Courts/Brundage Mountain Company attended the meeting in which the committee discussed and voted to recommend the Mill Park location to the council. • The committee's records show the receipt of three letters to the council from Mr. DeBoer objecting to the playground. The first was dated May 27, 1992 when the matter was first being discussed. The city council approved the Mill Park location on October 28,1993. A letter to the council from Mr. DeBoer, again objecting to the project was in the council's correspondence for that meeting. His letter was dated October 14. A third letter from Mr. DeBoer to the council was dated April 27,1994, just after the council's decision to send the matter back to the Park and Recreation Advisory Committee. • The construction of a playground in Mill Park is in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, which was scrutinized in a public hearing. Chair said she personally solicited the opinion of Mr. DeBoer and made sure he received a copy of the plan prior to its adoption. Chair informed Mr. Shake that she couldn't fathom how a process could be more public than that. Member Killen also quoted the easement agreement signed by Mr. Gillespie in 1986 granting access through his property into Mill Park: It is understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto that the City has applied to the United States Bureau of Outdoor Recreation for a grant with which to construct a park and playground on the premises on the North..." Chair informed Mr. Shake that in view of the facts of the matter, she found it difficult to see any grounds for legal action and again called for discussion on relocating the project to another park be closed. Chair asked the committee and the audience to discuss the pros and cons of each site under consideration. Chair posted a map of Mill Park and numbered each of the four sites (attached). SITE NUMBER ONE is located near the entrance to Mill Park SITE NUMBER TWO is located in front of the re,strooms on top of the knoll SITE NUMBER THREE is the original site to the East of the walk way and just South of the restrooms SITE NUMBER FOUR is Doug Manchester's land which will revert back to city ownership in 1996 if he does not build a convention center, or will revert immediately upon the sale of an adjoining lot in the subdivision. " Site One was rejected unanimously by the committee because members felt strongly that a playground should not be the first thing visitors see when they enter the park. " Site Two was rejected unanimously by the committee because of the extensive excavation that would be required to level the knoll. " Site Four was rejected unanimously by the committee because although it was some members' preferred location, construction would have to be delayed until the future of the property is determined. The spirit of the original agreement with the fundraisers was that construction could begin the minute the funds were raised. Member VanKomen pointed out that even if Mr. Manchester were willing to grant early access, the land could still be used for it's original purpose and in that event, the playground project would have been delayed for construction on a site that doesn't exist or would have been constructed on land that the city does not own. " Site Three was acceptable to all parties on two conditions: that the city would bear the expense of rerouting the walkway to cure the room problem and that construction could happen in conjunction with the sewer project, not after it. Chair said that since the city's public works department would be working in that location already, the fundraisers are much more likely to get city assistance with construction than if they move to another site. The city's recent purchase of paving equipment should lower the cost of the walkway relocation. After final discussion Killen moved to recommend council amend the site originally approved south of the restrooms along the edge of the property line to include additional ground west of the walkway, contingent on site specific plan acceptable to the council and that public works staff be instructed to work with the fundraisers to develop a concurrent construction plan for the site. VanKomen seconded and the motion carried. Ware moved to recommend council agree to the expense of rerouting and paving the walkway with asphalt and to the expense of resilient ground cover (drain rock, felt, and cedar chips) as itemized in the fundraisers' budget. VanKomen seconded and the motion carried. NOTE: Chair informed fundraisers they need to develop a full budget, and site specific plan prior to Thursday's council meeting. ***** ****** Chair with consent of committee moved May Hardware I.D.O.L. application and I.D.O.L. Reed Gillespie dock application forward on the agenda. IV. MAY HARDWARE MARINA BREAKWATER I.D.O.L. APPLICATION - RICK FEREDAY. Fereday informed committee that they built a breakwater when the marina expanded but it is not working. Fereday informed committee the marina would like to place pilings that would stick up above high water three feet and would be place about twenty feet out from the end of the docks with logs floating between them. After discussion Killen moved to recommend council support May Hardware's application to improve its break water system. Seconded by VanKomen, and the motion carried. * * * * * * V. I.D.O.L. DOCK APPLICATION BY REED GILLESPIE - LARRY SHAKE. Director reported to the committee that Mr. Gillespie told him the dock was being built by Larry Shake and Judd DeBoer. VanKomen asked how many boats would be moored at the park. Shake informed committee that ap- proximately three would be using the dock at any one time. Killen asked if the dock would be open to the public. Shake stated that it wouldn't be closed but if it became a problem they would have to take action. Committee discussed the location in relation to property lines, the location in relation to Mill Park, the length of the dock, and the Gillespie easement. Killen asked if the dock spaces would be rented out to condominium users. Shake stated that they would not be renting out slips, but Gillespie currently gives permission to condo renters to moor on his beach so he would likely give permission to moor at the dock. Killen felt she would Iike to talk with Gillespie before recommending an action. VanKomen felt that a motion was not needed, since the council would be taking many opinions into consideration before issuing a comment. He noted that although the committee dislikes the idea of the dock, the Gillespie property is a unique situation in that it is totally private property. He said that his feelings were mixed about the rights of a property owner to do what he wants within the bounds of code and the safety and aesthetic concems of park users. Chair said that the meeting minutes can reflect the committee's concerns. After discussion committee listed the following thoughts for the council's consideration: 1. The dock could present a safety hazard if swimmers attempt to reach it from the Mill Park beach. 2. The dock should be located as far to the south edge of the lot as possible (rather than in the center ******** as drawn) to open the distance between it and the Mill Park beach. 3. The dock will interrupt park views. 4. Ware thought the dock length is too long. NOTE: Shake stated that he would like to donate labor an materials to place sand in the cove at the South end of Mi11 Park. VI. PARK CONCESSIONS - DAVID McBRIDE. Chair thanked McBride for the completeness of his proposal. Director responded to VanKomen's question that McBride's bid was the only one received. Killen asked for the terms of the agreement to call for the contractor to pay for his own electricity. Committee discussed fees, hawkers licenses, power bills, insurance, vending machines, length of lease and hours of operation. After discussion VanKomen moved to recommend council direct legal staff to draw a contract for park concessions in which: • the annual fee of $600 would not be a Hawkers' License, but a lease (like Mary CIemmer's manage- ment contract for the golf course Caddy Shack) • the contractor will pay for power • the lease will be for a five (5) year term with annual renewal set at $600.00 plus C.O.L.A. increase for each year • the revenue from the contract will be placed the park's revenue fund • include appropriate provisions for annual termination by either party • attorney will include provision to allow vending machines, but the appearance must be approved by the Recreation Director. Ware seconded, and the motion carried. VII. PARK CLEAN-UP WEEK Committee members turned in task lists (attached) and asked what each member needed. Committee asked if there is some money budgeted some place for small things like black paint for the hand rail, and wildflower seed for Legacy Park. Director will ask Bill Keating. VIII. STAFF REPORTS Committee asked when swim buoys would be placed in Legacy Park. Director informed committee he asked Public Works Director if his crew could install them when they were doing Art Roberts and Rotary Park but was turned down. Committee asked Director to see if the Fire Department might be willing to install the swim buoys. Director agreed to contact Chief Points. Chair informed committee that she had talked with Bill Keating concerning piling of snow in Legacy Park and that it was his feeling that much of the snow is coming from other people than his crew and having Code Enforcement patrol during the early morning would be the one way to stop it. Killen suggested that the city notify all the property owners around the park through a letter stating the city will be patrolling and enforcing no snow piling in Legacy Park. Killen also recommended that the policy be posted in locations where the unauthorized snow piling occurs. Chair with consent of committee asked staff to research the following; 1. Who is responsible for replacing the dead tree near the stairway in Legacy Park. 2. Find out what is being done about the Gould dock building site, it's a mess. 3. Investigate the rusty run-off coming out of the pipe south of the boat ramp and have Chief Points take samples to make sure it is not contaminated with chemicals. Chair with consent of committee agreed to research the following; 1. Clean up of ice skating rink area near Gravity Sports. 2. Traffic situation at the south end of Legacy Park near the dumpster. 2. Director 1. City land swap with school district. Director informed committee that he talked with Attorney Burton and that Burton felt that a swap could be worked out, but the property being part of a conversion may present problems. ****** After discussion Killen moved to recommend council have Attorney Burton attend or provide a written report regarding a possible land swap of a piece of the old Hoyle property for the school district's railroad right of * * * * * * way for which the city currently pays $3000.00 per year, for the next park board meeting. Seconded by VanKomen and the motion carried. 2. Historical Committee Director informed committee that a Historical Committee has been created to act as a advisory committee to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Killen informed committee that the city just holds the SITPA land and is not to do anything with it. 3. Comprehensive policy (attached) Committee reviewed without action. IX. NEW BUSINESS X. OLD BUSINESS 1. R.F.P. Park Maintenance Chair informed committee she had been told that there was no bonding requirement on the Park Maintenance R.F.P. and if this is so, council needs notification. XI. SPECIAL REPORTS 1. Downtown Task Force. VanKomen informed committee that the task force is forming its wish list first and exploring methods of funding, including a bed and booze tax. XII. FINANCIAL REPORTS Killen questioned where the Brian Chapman Memorial Fund went, and Director agreed to research it. XIII. OTHER BUSINESS Director informed committee that he has received a Park Reservation Application for Mill Park on July 2, 1994 and had not signed it off yet because it is on the fourth of July weekend. Committee felt that the people should be told of how much other use would be happening in the park and that there would be construction equipment working on a sewer project and if the people still wanted to reserve the spot, sign them off. Chair with consent of committee asked Director to make contact with Idaho Community Foundation to get copies of grant forms. XIII. NEXT MEETING Next regular Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee meeting set for June 20, 1994 at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chamber . a t• or- 9nundage Mountain Co. • P.O. Box 1062 • McCall, Idaho 83638 • (7A8) 634-4151 • 1-800-888-7544 May 9, 1994 McCall Recreation Department P. O. Box 1065 McCall, ID 83638 Dear Members: Some of our staff attended a conference this past.week and one of the programs dealt with *conflict resolution.* From this presentation we learned that conflict can be resolved by identifying the positive elements as they affect the community and interested parties. In applying this solution to the problem at hand (Mill Park Playground proposal), we see the following elements and solutions: 1) It is positive that several individuals have identified a desire toincrease playground capacity in the McCall area. We agree that parks and playgrounds are desirable as long as they are safe and appropriately located. We have concluded that the desired results for a playground can be achieved at Legacy Park much more successfully than at Mill Park. * Safe, off-street parking for loading and unloading small children at Legacy Park versus no off-street parking and dangerous traffic at Mill Park. * Visible location at Legacy so people know the playground is there versus a hidden location at Mill Park, ripe for vandalism also. * Access to sand beach at Legacy versus unsafe lake front and piers at Mill Park. *Lack of conflict with neighbors and events at Legacy versus strong opposition from established events and neighbors at Mill Park. 2) It is positive that funds are being raised to buy equipment. Since Brundage continually donates to good causes in McCall, we see no reason we couldn,t assist in behalf of this project in Legacy Park if asked. 3) It is positive that we have such a good citizen as Mr. Reed Gillespie (he should get a commendation for his recycling efforts). we think it would be positive to protect his concerns and interests. As you know, he is very opposed to a playground in Mill Park, especially near his property. Given the fact that access to the park is exclusively across his land (with his generous consent) McCall would do well to honor him and keep him. happy. Also, it is with common decency that most boards in McCall honor and respect the concerns of the neighbors to any variance or project. We assume this board will do the same. 4) There is another problem that should be addressed along with a positive solution. That is, the previous city council may have erred in its decision by not using good judgement, not being concerned with the neighbors or established music events, and not properly notifying the neighbors of the meeting. We believe parks and rec can recommend that the present city council can revisit the whole proposal and perhaps recommend it be placed in Legacy Park. That should be a positive solution for everyone. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Sincerely, oi,6/ Osprey Resorts, Inc. " McCALL CITY PARK CONCESSIONAIRE PROPOSAL City of McCall Attn: City Clerk 216 E. Park Street P.O.Box 1065 McCall, ID 83638 April 28, 1994 Dear Sir, It is my hope that you see the need for an attractive, well managed consession operation for the great city of McCall. I have myself gone to great length to analyze this need. It is my belief that our city needs my proposed concession operation to pro- vide an attractive and well balanced service to the public. It is my intent to provide and operate several attractive consession stands which blend in with the surroundings which may eliminate any future need for the akward looking consession stand sometimes seen in the past. It is also my intent to provide a reasonably priced consession system dedicated to service. Due to the large outlay of capital in order to acheive my goals and the extremely short high season in our area along with the harsh weather conditions which prevent full operation much of the time during the year, I do believe that the requests outlined on page F are very reasonable and warrant your approval to make this proposal viable for me.

Also tire tracks in the sod at that same location are a problem in need of a solution. • The area formerly occupied by Brock Gould's dock building business (at the entrance to Mill Park) is an eyesore. What's the plan for cleaning it up? Also, who owns the piers at that location? The view would be vastly improved if they could be removed.
