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. 4. APPROVAL OF INVOICES Mr. Watkins explained that the Rocky Mountain Signs invoice that was approved for partial payment at the July 1 meeting, was now on the agenda to be approved for full payment instead.

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 City of McCall Urban Renewal Agency page 2 of 3 Minutes of July 15, 2008 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.
