1V. RIVERFRONT PARK CONCEPTUAL PLAN - JIM FRONK
Mr. Fronk distributed a copy of a conceptual plan(attached) that he, Scott Acker, Lauretta
Nighton, and Dave Peugh have developed and showed committee a large color drawing of the same plan.
Committee immediately like the layout and was very impressed with the amount of work that was done,
feeling it was much more complete that expected.
Fronk informed committee that ownership of the triangular shaped piece of property on the North
end of the plan is unknown and that the plan also infringes onto Riverside Subdivision slightly.
Committee all agreed that acquisition of both pieces of property would be critical to the development of
this park.
Fronk informed committee that the steep banks on the South side of the park would need to be
brought down to a 4 to 1 slope therefore decreasing clanger and opening up the view to the river valley.
In addition, Fronk informed committee that there is approximately 20,000 yards of useable material left in
the mine.
Chair asked how this plan should be phased in. Fronk felt that the walk ways and access road
down toward the river should be graded as material is removed and then the multi -use field at the south
end of the park should be developed. Chair informed committee she will meet with ice skating rink
supporters and chamber of commerce to- discuss the plan prior to the next meeting. In addition, Chair
with consent of committee asked Ware to show and discuss the plan with the Recreation Task Force at its
next meeting, and asked staff to look into the ownership of the land that needs to be acquired.
After discussion concerning size of Ice Rink, multi -use field area, irrigation areas verses natural
areas, a skateboard area, wetlands, theater seating, parking, snowmobiles, and the bridge across the river,
VanKomen moved to recommend council place a presentation of Riverfront Park's conceptual plan
by Killen, Ware, and Fronk on their next agenda, seconded by Ware and the motion carried.
V. STAFF REPORTS
1. Director
a. Congelton Lease - Director informed committee that the lease has been signed and is
on the books,
b. R.F.P. Park concessions(attachment) - after discussing the R.F.P. written by Director,
Killen moved to recommend council direct staff to add "or detailed sketch" to the last page of the
RF.P. and begin advertisement for bids so the preproposal meeting/conference can be held at the
April 25,1994 - 7:30pm Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee meeting, seconded by
VanKomen and the motion carried.
VI. NEW BUSINESS
1. Volunteer park clean up day
Chair informed committee that Mayor Martens had requested a volunteer park clean up
day be organized and drafted a proposal where one Council member and one park board member are
assigned to oversee a specific park during clean up day. In addition, Chair informed committee that
V.A.L.U.E.D. wants to include the city parks in their McCa11 Beautification Day which will provide the
volunteers. Finally, Chair and Mayor feel that rather than doing a park tour where, every member goes to
every park, the parks should be divided up between committee members, then the tours could be
completed prior to McCall Beautification Day and the evaluations could be used to conduct the clean up of
individual parks.
Chair with consent of committee asked staff to place the volunteer clean up day on the
April agenda and she will hand out park tour assignments at that meeting.
VII. OLD BUSINESS
1. Garnett Beach Contract(attachment)
Committee acknowledged letter to Idaho Department of Lands with out action.
*****

2. Master Plan
Chair distributed a copy of the finalized Parks and Recreation Master Plan including the
prioritized list of park projects(attached). After discussion Killen moved to recommend council adopt
the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, seconded by Ware and the motion carried.
3. Park Maintenance Contract.
Committee discussed history of the Park Maintenance Contract as well as the meeting
with Kevin Grove and Bi1I Keating. Committee strongly felt that the parks were kept in better shape last
year than any previous year and that the city should go with another contract rather than turning the parks
over to public works. In addition, committee felt that with a contract they can be sure that the time and
money is going into the parks.
Committee felt that if they took Kevin Groves suggestion and added them to the last
years revised contract they will have exactly what they want. Chair with consent of committee agreed to
add Groves ideas to the revised contract and get it to staff.
VIIL SPECIAL REPORTS
I. Payette Lakes Trails Joint Engineering - Killen
Killen informed committee that the first meeting with P.L.T. was very good and they
have agreed to create a joint board comprised of a County Engineer, City Manager, and a third party who
is knowledgeable in bikes and transportation. The joint board will take care of day to day business while
the park board and P.L.T. will be involved with public hearings. Killen informed committe that she and
Mayor Martens are very comfortable with this arrangement.
2. Downtown Task Force Report - VanKomen
VanKomen informed committee that nine people are on the task force, all members have
a vote, and at the next meeting they will be breaking into sub committees to discuss separate issues.
VanKomen felt that the task force is taking on such a large range of topics they are having a difficult time
focusing and that the meeting time 11:30am to 1:OOpm over lunch, does not provide a good atmosphere
for a serious meeting.
3. Recreation Task Force Meeting Minutes(attached)
Committee thanked Ware for all the time he and the task force have been spending
going over the Recreation Program, Chair asked how many more meetings were going to be needed to
complete the work. Ware informed committee that one or two more meeting should complete the
assignment due to the fact that task force members are very focused and are good at accomplishing
assignments with a minimum of discussion.
Ware informed committee that at last weeks meeting the task force worked on the Club
McCa11 Card and feels it can be incorporated January 1, 1995. Director informed committee that the only
difference between the park board proposal and the task force proposal is the fact that the task force feels
the revenues from the increased nonresident fees should go into a fund earmarked for facilities.
Committee briefly discussed the need for a more fee based recreation program, verses facility development
with out action.
IX. OTHER BUSINESS
Director informed committee of the following council actions;
*Council directed public works to stop piling snow in Legacy Park's parking lot.
*Council did not act on posting and enforcing no Snowboarding/Skateboarding in
Legacy Park and will again discuss it at their next meeting.
*Council acknowledged the request to amend the committee member appointment
policy and is waiting to hear from other committees before acting.
X. NEXT MEETING

3 perform engineering services in this state;
4 (c) A description of the land use assumptions by the governmental entity;
5 (d) A description of all system improvements and their costs necessitated

25 entity authorized to impose development impact fees assume more than its pro-
2 6 portionate share of funding joint improvements.
27 (5) The governmental entity .imposing a development impact fee shall
28 update the capital improvements plan at least once every five (5) years. The
29 five (5) year period shall commence from the date of the original adoption of

34 budget.
35 67-8308. EARMARKING AND EXPENDITURE OF COLLECTED DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES.

Dear Sir:
This letter is to respond to the request for comment on the
Garnet Beach dock application (Your file no: L-65-S-585). The
City had requested a delay in issuance of this application and
has now completed processing the material.
The City Council, on March 10, at their regular meeting took up
the Park and Recreation Advisory Committee's recommendation
contained in the Committee minutes of February 28, 1994. The
Council approved that recommendation as presented. The Committee
minutes of February 28 are attached. I have also included
earlier discussions contained in the Committee's minutes of May
3, 1993 in which the applicants argued for a fee based on the
moorage of four boats. The concern of the Committee and the City
Council is that with the proposed length of the dock in the
application submitted to you, more than 4 boats could be moored
at the dock. If a dock length is approved which permits moorage
of greater than 4 boats, the effect is that the City's
lease/upland access permit is revoked and the dock will be
removed. We ask that you include this information on the dock
permit and limit moorage at the dock to 4 boats.
Thank you allowing us additional time to evaluate this matter.
If you need further information, please call.
Sincerely,
Arthur. Schmidt

CONCERNING PARK
DEVELOPMENT AND
MAINTENANCE
April, 1994
Page 3
OBJECTIVE I: Develop a variety of community park and
recreation sites that guarantee a high quality of life
consistent with the wishes of the citizens of the City of
McCall.
Strategies
1. Provide high quality public tennis courts, playfields and
trail networks.
2. Expand offerings and facilities in existing park and recre-
ation sites. Areas that need attention include expanded park-
ing, equipment storage, signing, access, playground struc-
tures, indoor recreation opportunities and restrooms.
3. Prioritize the future development of public park sites. Parks
should serve the broadest cross-section of citizen interests
possible and serve the needs of significant segments of the
population.
4. Commit to future construction that is of commercial stan-
dard. Wherever aesthetic considerations are not an overriding
factor, park designs should favor low maintenance features
and vandal resistant equipment.
5. Annually assess all current sites and determine the follow-
ing:
a, project costs and personnel required to upgrade
these sites to a more functional level. Priority should
be given to improving existing sites before develop ing
new ones.
b. existing park/recreation services, facilities and
operational procedures. Adjustments should be made
based on changing needs of the community.
6. Encourage the adoption of ordinances that ensure adequate
parks, open spaces and bikeways be provided in newly
developed areas in the city of McCall to meet the recreational
needs of increased populations.
7. Recognize that recreational services or sites often stimulate
the local economy enough to help offset operating/adminis-
tration costs.
8. Support the preservation of natural drainages, wildlife
habitat and unique areas within the city when prudent and
encourage developers to preserve natural areas rather than
relandscaping them, especially in the case of side hills, prop-
erty borders and irregular land parcels, which are easy to
leave natural.

OBJECTIVE IQ. Develop, maintain, improve and expand
accesses and views to guarantee public access to Pay ette
Lake, Payette River's North Fork and natural assets
within the City of McCall.
Strategies
1. Improve existing facilities on Payette Lake to include:
a. Better access from both land and water
b. Adequate parking
c. Safety for users
d. Site amenities including restrooms, tables, benches,
informational signs, landscaping.
2. Encourage the establishment of common rules with other
governing agencies to foster a unified approach to waterway
development.
3. Provide Payette Lake facilities with designated areas for
boaters and swimmers to better balance use and safety.
a. Ski docks
b. Signing
c. Fishing access areas
d. Moorage/short term storage
e. Public boat launch sites
f. Buoyed swimming areas
4. Develop facilities for better use of Payette River's North
Fork
a. Pathways
b. View Points
c. Fishing access areas
5. Encourage float boating access to Payette River with a put -
in near the outlet and take-out down river. Include informa-
tional signing with safety recommendations.
6. Evaluate the impacts of managing N.F. Payette River flows
to allow recreational floaters to use the river for an extended
season and when prudent, encourage such management.
7. Improve and protect existing park lands along N. F. Pay
ette Lake and N.F. Payette River and acquire additional public
lands on all McCall's waterways by donation, trade, purchase,
property or access rights.

OBJECTIVE III. Encourage use of park and recreation
facilities by providing a trail network which links
McCall's park and recreation facilities.
Strategies
1. A trail system should serve in getting from point-to-point,
park -to -park, for transportation within the city, and for ingress
to and egress from the city. The system should be a useful
link between facilities: private, public and academic. It should
link neighborhoods with the commercial core of the city.
2. The design of the trail system should incorporate the use
conflict strategies in Objective IX.
3. Waterfront shoreline and views should be incorporated,
wherever available, into the trail system.
4. Vest pocket parks and natural areas should be incorporated
along the trail system.
5. Develop minimum standard (Class 3) bikeways to link
areas wherever construction of a 10 foot wide trail is not
practical.
OBJECTIVE IV: Provide safe, accessible, well maintained
and efficiently administered park and recreation
facilities.
Strategies
1. Improve the monitoring of park maintenance by annually
requiring the city staff to prepare a written evaluation of park
maintenance programs. The plan should include a detail of
tasks, standards, schedules and responsibilities to address
deficiencies. The report will be submitted to the committee in
April of each year so that the committee can consider the
information in it's budget requests relative to park mainte-
nance.
2. Develop an Adopt a -Park and Adopt -a -Garden program to
encourage more organizations and individuals to donate their
carpentry or gardening skills under the city's supervision.
3. Annually analyze the safety and access features of current
park designs and make recommendations to city council on
prudent improvements. Encourage prompt corrections to
those deficiencies.
4. Comply with the provisions of the Americans with Disabili-
ties Act and require that the provisions of the act be incorpo-
rated into any new park design.
5. Be reasonably assured that adequate future funding for
April, 1994 maintenance will exist prior to expanding park and recreation
Page 5 sites.

6. Require that new facilities be visually appealing, but con-
structed for low -maintenance and of vandal resistant materials.
7. Require private and civic organizations to seek city govern-
ment input and assistance prior to petitioning the parks &
recreation advisory committee to donate or build public recre-
ation facilities.
8. Require that projects slated for donation:
a. Be feasible and desirable to the city.
b. Be completed in accordance with a pre -agreed time
table.
c. Be constructed of commercial/industrial grade mate-
rials.
d. Be completely operable before acceptance by the
city.
9. Establish a system to encourage and evaluate maintenance
suggestions by city employees and citizens.
OBJECTIVE V: Minimize use conflicts in the city's parks.
Strategies
1. Design parks that
a. segregate incompatible recreational uses.
b. are sensitive to the existing uses of adjacent land.
c. minimize conflicts in modes of transportation, such
as bicycles and pedestrians
2. Where conflicting uses must occur together, minimize the
impact of the conflict through education, signing, scheduling
of time and site management.
3. Establish and enforce city ordinances that control conflict
ing uses of recreational sites and facilities.
4. Establish and manage some sites that serve a sole purpose
or use, when no other solution will work as well.
OBJECTIVE VI: Develop a partnership with private, local,
state & federal recreation providers in order to avoid
duplication of services.
Strategies
1. When invited, designate representatives of the park and
recreation advisory committee to serve in organizations dedi-
cated to recreational development in the greater McCall recre-
ation area and report the activities of these organiza tions
regularly to the committee.
2. Encourage any organizations involved in recreational devel-
opment in the greater McCall area to seek the input of the
parks and recreation advisory committee and vice -versa.

CONCERNING RECREATION
PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND
MAINTENANCE

Page 7
OBJECTIVE VII: Promote, develop and implement year
round community recreation programs.
Strategies
1. Develop a package of recreational programs that appeals to
all age groups and levels of ability.
2. Continually stimulate interest in lifetime sports and recre-
ational activities by appointing a subcommittee of citizen
users of the recreation programs to evaluate the recreational
program package annually and comment to the committee in
June of each year on the following:
a. Elimination of or improvements to existing programs
based on their popularity.
b. Evaluate the volunteer coaching program and rec-
ommend improvements.
c. Evaluate the appeal of the recreation program pack-
age relative to various age groups and levels of ability.
d. Keep the recreation program package dynamic by
analyzing changing recreational trends. Recommend
new programs that the department can afford to spon-
sor (by eliminating the expense of a less popular
program, by attracting new fees, etc.).

Able behavior by youths.
Strategies
1. Encourage funding to attract educated and experienced
leaders.
2. Comply with the Drug -Free Workplace Act.

CONCERNING FEES AND
FUNDING
April, 1994
Page 8
OBJECTIVE IX: Recognize that parks and recreation
programs, facilities and services are valuable to the
citzens of McCall and that profitability is only one
consideration in evaluating those programs, facilities
and services.
Strategies
1. Fees charged for special services, supervision, set-up or
privileges should be determined in consideration of the fol-
lowing:
a. market value of service or privilege
b. restrictions such requests place on the public's use
of park facilities
c. nature of the use: profit, non-profit, personal, etc.
d. value of the use to the quality of life of the citizens
of McCall
2. Fees for youth programs or educational sessions should be
kept to a reasonable minimum.
OBJECTIVE X: Recognize that there is a serious disparity
in who pays for parks and recreation services in McCall
and who uses parks and recreation services in McCall.
Attempt to find a way to balance the burden.
Strategies:
1. Create a subcommittee chaired by a member of the park
board to recommend alternative funding sources: concessions,
grants, gifts, special elections, fund raising efforts, etc. This
committee would also explore special taxing districts, annex-
ation of properties to city limits, etc. to spread the funding
burden of basic park infrastructure expenses over more of the
population of the park system's users.
2. Establish a fee structure throughout the park and recre
ation system that eases this imbalance by offering discounts to
city residents and to other significant contributors, etc. as
approved by the advisory committee.
3. Examine land dedication ordinances or other techniques
for site acquisition and development.

PRIORITIES
April, 1994
Page 13
In preparation for the writing of this master plan, the Parks
and Recreation Advisory Committee toured the city's existing
parks and made a checklist of desired improvements and
repairs. That list is the basis for the site specifics section of
the plan. The master plan lists the committee's entire "wish
list". This section lists what our priorities are and what we
believe are those of the community.
On April 26, 1993, the parks and recreation committee con-
ducted a public hearing on this master plan draft. The hearing
was well attended and the committee heard the opinions of
several concerned citizens.
Keeping that public comment in mind, each committee mem-
ber was asked to weight the actions recommended in this
master plan according to their order of preference. The scores
were totaled to produce this priority list. Our goal is to see
that most of this list is accomplished in the five year term of
the plan.
