5. BOAT RAMP REPAIRS
Brock Heasley, Parks & Recreation Director, reported that the Waterways Advisory Committee
has agreed to pay up to $2,900 of the estimated $5,800 of repair work needed to the boat ramp.
Brock asked the Board if the Urban Renewal Agency would be willing to fund the other $2,900 if
the cost is $5,800. Two quotes were received: from Dison Construction in the amount of $5,800,
and Precision Concrete in the amount of $4,560. Brock said the quote from Precision Concrete
was just received this morning and there were some questions he still needed to resolve
regarding comparing the two quotes. Brock noted that the work could be done right away, and
the time needed to complete the work would be about a week.
There was discussion about the nature of the repair work, and whether it would affect the
concrete at the top of the ramp, and compatibility with meeting a future sidewalk and different

road grade. Brock said that the repair work is a 24x45 section only and will fix the dip in the
ramp and achieve a continuous slope. There was discussion that this problem has been there
for a long time. There was also discussion of whether the Waterways Advisory Committee could
fund the entire project. There was general agreement that more information is needed on the
planned elevation first. No decision was made regarding funding of this project at this time.
6. PATHWAY CONNECTION — LEGACY PARK 1 McCALL MALL
There was a discussion regarding the existing agreements between the City and McCall Mail
owner Vicki Wade, and the Urban Renewal Agency and Vicki Wade. The Urban Renewal
Agency is obligated to construct a pathway from Legacy Park to the existing pathway on McCall
Mall property, including a ramp to replace the stairs. Engineering still needs to be done on this
project in order to get a cost estimate. It was agreed to move forward with this project as soon
as possible. Once an engineer is hired a design will be drawn up and approved.
7. FIR STREET PARKING LOT
The approved landscaping and striping plan for the Fir Street parking lot was discussed. Mr.
Fereday noted that there are still some outstanding questions and additional engineering is
needed. Mr. Bailey noted that engineering design for the entire corridor is needed to ensure that
what is built is what was originally planned. Ms. Delaney said that the landscaping is needed,
that the parking lot is currently out of code, and the approved landscape design has not yet
been completed. Ms. Delaney said that the parking lot landscaping and striping should be
completed as soon as possible this summer. It was agreed that there are two priority projects,
the parking lot and the pathway connection. Tim Swanson said that the Public Works crew could
stripe the parking lot, and will also stripe the back -in parking on Lake Street as per the plans for
the park.

Mr. Watkins moved to adjourn the meeting. Mr. Bailey seconded the motion. In a voice vote, all
