4. MURA PROPERTY AT PINE ST & MCCALL AVE
Mr. Fereday reported that he has had a call from a local realtor about an interested buyer for the
lot the McCall Urban Renewal Agency owns at Pine St & McCall Avenue. The buyer is
reportedly interested in both this lot and the adjacent church. The Urban Renewal Agency had
previously discussed selling this property if a good offer was received. There was a brief
discussion regarding needing more information about the Urban Renewal Agency's process
required to do this, and the timing and status of the real estate market today.

5. HISTORICAL NAMES — PAVERS
Mr. Bailey reported that the Historical Society had done additional research on families settled in
McCall with a lasting connection to the community. 15 additional names are proposed. The cost
per etched paver is approximately $150, per Tim Swanson. The total for 15 names would be
$2,250 plus installation, probably no more than $3,000.
There was a discussion about having Hillside Construction install the new etched pavers as a
change order. No decision was made at this time regarding installation. Tim Swanson said that
the pavement would not need to be cut, and that 4 existing pavers would be replaced with one
etched granite paver.
Mr. Bailey moved to purchase 15 additional granite pavers at a total cost up to $3,000 including
installation. Mr. Watkins seconded the motion. In a voice vote, all members voted in favor.
MOTION CARRIED.
Mandi Roberts from Otak discussed the interpretive panels for the park. She has been working
with the Historical Committee on these panels, and is meeting with them again today. There are
4 different panels, covering the following four topics: the lake, the mill, town history, and settler's
history. Each panel will be paired with a map panel. These will be located near the overlook
points. Mr. Fereday suggested not rushing to put the panels up in late summer or early fall, it
could wait till next summer if needed.
6. OTHER BUSINESS — LEGACY PARK
Mr. Bailey asked about the punch list for Legacy Park. Tim Swanson will bring the list up to date
and will put it on the agenda for the next meeting. Mandi Roberts noted that she is looking into
the sundial issue and some landscaping issues. Mandi also discussed the possibility of staining
or stamping the concrete spray and play area with color and art work. This could possibly be
done by a local community artist. It was noted that this surface needed to be non-skid. Mandi
will send information on some processes that could be used, and would be available to provide
advice.
