CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL The meeting was called to order at 9:10 am. Members present were Bonnie Bertram, Don Bailey, Robin Gerblick and Scott Jeffrey. There was a quorum present. Also present: Lindley Kirkpatrick, Betsy Roberts, Mandi Roberts (by phone), Mike Wells and Deb Smith. 2. MINUTES Bonnie Bertram moved to approve the July 2, 2007, July 9, 2007, July 26, 2007 and the August 3, 2007 Minutes. Robin Gerblick seconded the motion and all members voted in favor. MOTION CARRIED. 3. APPROVAL OF INVOICES - no invoices were presented. 4. McCALL LAKEFRONT IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT Betsy Roberts presented options to the plans to rebid the project. She presented a chart explaining the pros and cons of `Bid Fall 2007', in this case the Lake Street portion could begin late September with the other line items to be completed 2008 - or `Bid Late Winter 2008', in this case all line items would be completed next year. Another option presented: city does a portion of the road work. In this case no contract would be needed in 2007 and work could begin on the road immediately. This option would allow the city to deal with the Hotel McCall's construction this fall as originally planned. Discussion continued regarding having the city doing the Lake Street work and what it would involve. Betsy explained the differences that having a temporary gravel surface through the winter compared to chip seal. Bonnie Bertram voiced concerns of losing the sidewalk and fence especially during the Winter Carnival. Lindley Kirkpatrick stated that this is a slower time for the public works department and would be a good time to begin the street work. Don Bailey said that the Hotel McCall is relying on the City of McCall to make the street as attractive as possible at this time. Don Bailey motioned to have Betsy Roberts contact David Carey to determine whether the Hotel McCall plans to proceed with their portion of the Lake Street construction so the Board can decide whether to have public works proceed with the City portion; and have CH2M Hill, Inc. prepare a task order describing interim road issues. Bonnie Bertram seconded the motion and all members voted in favor. MOTION CARRIED. 5. OTHER The next regular Urban Renewal Agency Meeting will be 9:00 am August 21, 2007 at the American Legion Hall. 6. ADJOURNMENT Scott Jeffrey moved to adjourn at 11:00 am. The motion was seconded by Bonnie Bertram and all members voted in favor. MOTION CARRIED.
