Cliff Lee, Gary Shimun and Les Ankenman
Tom Kerr, Bob Fuhrman, Jim Fronk also attended.
Toothman-Orton office in McCall, Idaho.
This meeting was continued from the meeting on February 23, 1995.
Discussion centered on negotiations with the Engineering firm and ITD. Bruce MacEwan's letter
dated 3-3-95 was discussed. Bob Fuhrman has talked to John Voght - Consultant Administrator for
ITD. Bob is expecting John to return a recent call for more information and clarification of ITD
requirements for the contract. John is looking for a scope of services with hours and cost to attach
to ITD's boilerplate'. None of us have seen the boilerplate material.
The Engineers will continue working with ITD to develop an acceptable contract. ITD expects
Engineering Services thru design will range from 10% to 15% of the construction cost of the project.
The Committee still wants:
1. To clarify who the Engineering contract is with ITD or the local sponsors/owner.
2. What other role the owner will play in the project - how free we will be to work with the
Engineers and how we will be able to provide input.
3. Written communication from ITD addressing the above issues.
4. What the State will charge and how will they be accountable for their charges.
Dave Okerlund of Idaho Parks Department has been in touch with Bob regarding the Parks' path
project on the peninsula and connections to our project, especially at Pilgrim Cove Road.
The next meeting will be at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, March 10, 1995. Four of ITD personnel will tour
the project with the Committee and Engineers.
The Committee will then meet again on Tuesday, March 14, 1995 at 9:00 a.m. to final the
Engineering negotiations. The meeting will be held at Toothman-Orton office in McCall.

Re: ICE BREAKUP'95: A FUNDRAISER FOR McCALL CITY PARKS AND RECREATION
Celebrate the coming of Spring by joining in support of a fund raising project that will benefit businesses
and citizens of McCall alike. Join with us in sponsoring Ice Breakup '95, which this year will benefit the city's
Parks and Recreation MatchMaker Fund.
The MatchMaker Fund has been established to aid in the development of the Riverfront park site (the old
city dump across from the Smokejumper Base). The funds we raise with Ice Breakup'95 will be earmarked to
attract grants to finance engineering and construction of regulation size softball fields on the site (Cascade for
the last few years has reaped the monetary benefits of 8-16 baseball tournaments per season because McCall
has only one regulation size field).
As a business owner or manager, you surely have noticed what grants have done for the McCall area in
the last few years. Because we could provide a match, we will all enjoy a bike path network through the City
and around Payette Lake soon. But the city's grant would not have been awarded had it not been fortunate at
the time to have a piece of expendable property to sell to provide the required match. The MatchMaker Fund
will give the City match power when applying for these lucrative grants.
So —please, put ICE BREAKUP'95 on your donations priority list. It's a way to participate in a great
cause and it brightens your business in the dreary spring:
