APPROVAL OF MINUTES

URBAN RENEWAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
Approve Design Development Scope of Work
Mr. Millar advised the Agency that the design team made some minor
changes in the text, a modification to the fee and a few spelling corrections.
There was much discussion and some concern raised regarding the changes.
One of the concerns expressed was the idea of working outside of the Urban
Renewal District. Another concern was that a local construction manager
needs to be hired to oversee the project. Mr. Findlay felt this would speed up
the process and avoid any potential for lawsuits. Mr. Bailey felt it would be
smart to have someone in this roll that is available every day.
Mr. Larson advised that CH2M Hill is responsible as engineers of record to
make sure the project is followed through with. Mr. Millar advised the Board
that it will need support from CH2M Hill during the contract development and
selling of the bonds.
A recommendation was made to change the text in Subtask 1.5 on page 4
under "Shoreline related" from "Shoreline related — Corps of Engineers and
possibly EPA".... to: Shoreline related — Corps of Engineers and other
agencies to be handled by CH2M Hill/Otak Team
The Board decided to omit Subtask 3.5 Corner Plaza Design Development
on page 7 and asked staff to seek alternative funding.
The Board changed the language on the final page (14) under "Assumptions
and Information Needs" paragraph two to say: The Design Oversight
Committee formed specifically for this project will be the principle entity
directing the day to day work of the design team. Final decisions regarding
contracting rest with the board of the Urban Renewal Agency.
Mr. Findlay made a motion to approve the task order as amended. Mr. Bailey
seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
Appoint Design Oversight Committee
Mr. Millar advised the Board that Ron Rooth would represent the Parks
Advisory Committee, Judy McGuire the McCall Improvement Committee and
Richard Coonts the Transportation Advisory Committee.
Mr. Findlay made a motion to approve the recommended names for the
committee along with the entire Urban Renewal Board, Bill Keating, Brock
Heasley and Roger Millar representing City Staff. Mr. Drake seconded the
motion and the motion carried.
Next Steps
RFQ for Construction Manager/General Contactor
Mr. Larson advised that CH2M Hill will prepare a draft and email it to Mr.
Millar to forward to the Board. The Board agreed it is a good idea as it will
expedite the process.
Appraisal
Staff requested to contract with an appraiser for an appraisal of certain
property for discussion of possible acquisition.
Bonds
Mr. Millar advised that Kristi Foster, McCall City Treasurer, will be present at
the meeting in March and will have the package to be reviewed.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:25 AM.
