Betsy Roberts was concerned with all of the possible improvements discussed at the last meeting to be made to Lake Street, the total would reach the $100,000 limit. At $100,000, the project needs to be put out to bid and she was concerned that our efforts could be misconstrued as avoiding the bid process. She spoke with Fred Mack last night and he confirmed her thoughts. He said that he would be available today for this meeting if the Committee would like to discuss his opinion. Rick Fereday questioned why we didn't just put the project out to bid. He feels that it should be put out to bid and not just done by the Public Works Department. The discussion continued as to what it would take to have the Public Works Department do the work necessary this year to satisfy the City of McCall's portion of the Lake Street improvement so as not to delay the Hotel McCall's project. Rick Schiermeier feels that his department could easily complete the necessary work and that a gravel surface would be fine through the winter. 1. Minimal maintenance in front of Hotel McCall; put the rest to bid. 2. Complete the construction of the entire street and leave it gravel until next year. 1 Don Bailey moved to have the Public Works Department regrade the road to the Hotel McCall and do the basic maintenance road work if the Hotel McCall agrees, and re -bid the project next spring; seconded by Bonnie Bertram; MOTION CARRIED. Don Bailey suggested that the City clean up the lot Larry Tiernan is allowing the City to use during the Lake Front Improvement Project at Huckleberry Corner. Tony Nash said that the lot has been put up for sale and it was suggested that the City get approval from Mr. Tiernan to use it until it sells. 5. OTHER Don Bailey asked that the process to apply for vacation of a City of McCall owned alley be started. The vacation process is through the McCall Planning and Zoning Department and per Lindley Kirkpatrick, the application fee will be waived for the Urban Renewal Agency. The next Urban Renewal Agency meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, September 18, 2007 an 8:00 am. 6. ADJOURNMENT Rick Fereday moved to adjourn at 10:30 am; seconded by Tony Nash; MOTION CARRIED. 2
