3. MILE HIGH MARINA PRESENTATION
Jim Gerblick, representing Mile High Marina, spoke to the Board about the proposed expansion
at the marina. Brian O'Morrow, representing Snowy Peaks, arrived a short time later and
provided input during the presentation. They are proposing 400 new slips at the marina, with
half the approved slips going to Mile High Marina, and half to Snowy Peaks. They are planning
to have approximately 25 slips available to the public for day use. There is also a planned public
access area along part of the marina that would tie in with Urban Renewal's walkway. Mr.
Gerblick said that the proposed slips will not extend into the lake beyond the existing
breakwater, and will be located north of the current slips. Mr. Gerblick also proposed that the
marina would maintain and pick up trash along the City shoreline adjacent to the proposed slips.
There was a discussion of the approval process they are undertaking, as well as a discussion of
City storm drains that terminate next to the marina.

contacted about re -invoicing for the one sign that had been received. Rocky Mountain Signs
said the second sign would be delivered shortly, and Mr. Watkins reported that it has now been

5. McCALL MALL PROPOSAL
Mr. Bailey reported that he is meeting with Mr. Millemann and Lindley Kirkpatrick today at 3:00
to try and complete the agreement. Tim Swanson said that he has not been able to meet with
Vicki Wade yet about the tree issue.
6. PARKING LOT / FIR STREET CHANGES
Drainage Updates. Tim Swanson proposed that a trench drain be put in above the parking lot to
catch water from the unpaved area and divert it. The original plans did not have a perimeter
drain, just a center drain for surface water on the parking lot. There is much more subsurface
water at the parking lot location than was planned for.
Betsy Roberts provided an updated parking lot spreadsheet to compare the costs of the
modified parking lot versus the original plans.
Mr. Bailey suggested that Fir Street could be paved from Roosevelt to Lake Street. Alternatively,
he suggested we could decide not to pave, and apply for a waterways grant next year. There
was a discussion that the grant could be a possibility for Fir Street since it involved boat trailer
parking, but not for the parking lot. Mr. Eisenstein suggested that we could put a grind on Fir
Street and/or the parking lot instead of paving, and that the City Streets department had
material available. After additional discussion, Mr. Eisenstein said the City would provide the
grind material to Urban Renewal at no cost, if Urban Renewal would haul it. Betsy Roberts
noted that the quality would not be as good as 3/", and due to drainage issues she did not
recommend using it on the parking lot. There was a discussion of what part of Fir Street should
be improved by Urban Renewal during the Legacy Park project.
Ms. Delaney made a motion to pave the parking lot, not including Fir Street, with standard
paving, and use the grind instead of 3/4" base to put on Fir Street from Mill to the east side of the
parking lot. Mr. Watkins seconded the motion. In a voice vote, all members voted in favor.
MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Bailey and Betsy Roberts agreed that the cost would be approximately $53,000. Mr. Bailey
said he would like an estimate to apply the grind material to the rest of Fir Street, from Lake St
to Mill St, and from the east end of the parking lot to. Roosevelt.
7. SPRAY N PLAY UPDATE
Betsy Roberts reported that DEQ has given permission to drain the Spray N Play to the lake.
Amanda Carrington said that she is working on options for the placement of the drainage pipes.
The original plan was to connect to the sewer system, and the stub has already been done,
using the $2,000 budgeted. The drainage connection to the lake will be an additional expense.
Cliff Yochum said it would be approximately $3,000 - $5,000. Amanda noted that pipes directly
to the beach would be approx. 50 feet, while pipes to the storm drain would be approx. 150 feet.
Betsy said they will provide estimates for both options.
8. PROJECT SCHEDULE UPDATE
Cliff Yochum reported that the parking lot should be complete by August 1st. They have poured
the slab for the bathroom, and continue to be on schedule per the update provided at the July

1st meeting. The project is still on schedule, weather permitting.
Cliff Yochum said he is getting close to needing some decisions regarding the west side of the
park. Mr. Bailey noted that the Board had approved removal of the driveway. Mr. Bailey also
said he had gotten an estimate for 220 volt snow melting on the stairs, and Mandi was getting
an estimate from the same low voltage vendor that did the radiant floors in the bathroom.
Mr. Fereday said that he had authorized additional dust abatement on the project recently, in
response to a request from Gravity Sports.
Ms. Gerblick asked about the City storm drain by Mile High Marina, and said that Mile High
Marina would be willing to work with the City to mitigate the problem.
11. ADJOURNMENT
Mr. Fereday moved to adjourn the meeting. Ms. Gerblick seconded the motion. In a voice vote,
all members voted in favor. MOTION CARRIED. The meeting was adjourned at 09:55 am.
