Community Development Director Michelle Groenevelt and Administrative Assistant Deb Smith
were also present.
2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Member Bailey moved to approve the April 19, 2011 minutes as presented. Member Winkeller
seconded the motion. The motion carried.
3. INVOICES
• White Peterson invoice 03/31/11
Member Watkins questioned White Peterson's opinion of the MURA boundary line adjustment
process. Ms. Groenevelt explained that the process was outlined in this invoice and that it would be
done at the staff level. Member Watkins moved to approve the current invoice. Member Winkeller
seconded the motion. The motion carried.
• City of McCall -Mill Rd invoice 04-13-11
Member Watkins moved to approve the current invoice. Member Winkeller seconded the motion.
The motion carried.
• CH2MHill/Otak Invoice #3780125 for TO 47A and 476
Chairman Fereday asked Mr. Stewart for an update on this invoice. Mr. Stewart stated that this had
been a team effort over three months with Ms. Stokes. After much discussion and evaluation of the
original invoice of approximately $9,200, Ms. Stokes went back and looked at how task 47A and 476
were related to task 47 and all of its associated parts. By doing this, OTAK & CH2Mhill are being
held to what they agreed to and any additional overages that were not authorized, would not be
allowed. Additional charges outside of what were contracted included Betsy Robert's time to discuss
the options with respect to warranty issues on the restroom and the concrete issues with respect to
spalling. Although the information doesn't lead us to go against the contractor, it does complete the
story. Mr. Stewart said that we are stuck with a bad product with no warranty claim.

Mr. Stewart said that they were able to assess that they were overcharging by $5,600. Ms. Stokes
agrees that this invoice is fair and recommend the payment of $3,759 which is the remainder of task
order 47 that was outstanding and Betsy's time on the warranty issues. Ms. Stokes has requested a
revised invoice. Member Winkeller moved to approve this recommended amount. Member Bailey
seconded the motion. The motion carried.
4. TREASURER'S REPORT
Ms. Stokes asked if there were any questions regarding the reports. Cash flow has not changed
since last month except for the update made to reflect the property taxes received for April 2011 of
$9,700.00 and interest income of $8.74. Chairman Fereday stated that we currently stand at the
status quo.
5. MRA ANNUAL RESERVE
The board began discussion of the annual reserve amount of between $50,000 at the low end and
$250,000 at the high end. Member Bailey explained that reserves can be spent but that they are
meant to be a safety net. Rick Winkeller stated that a $100,000 reserve would be reasonable and
could be used if necessary. Ms. Stokes suggested having the interest only bond payment that will be
due in January 2012 of $50,000 held in reserve. Member Winkeller moved to strive to have
$100,000 cash reserve established which could be used for either the interest payment on the bond
or as a reserve for special costs. Member Watkins seconded the motion. The motion carried.
6. SUNDIAL UPDATE
Chairman Fereday asked Mr. Coyle for an update on the Sundial. The foundation is in. Mr. Stewart
added that there were not any de -watering issues. Granite provider is having mud issues in his pit
and this may slow down the process. Pavers should be here by May 30th and the expected
completion date is the first week in June.
7. BATHROOM UPDATE
Chairman Fereday asked Mr. Coyle for a quick summary of the bathroom project. He stated it is on
schedule but that he does expect some change orders.
8. 2010 IMPROVEMENT PROJECT UPDATE (CONFERENCE CALL WITH KELLER)
Michelle placed a telephone call to Nathan Cleaver. Chairman Fereday asked Mr. Cleaver for a
status update on the 2010 Improvement project. Mr. Stewart pointed out the location of the
proposed catch basin on a large map for the board to see. It is at the south corner of Pine &
Railroad.
• Schedule - Granite is waiting to see if their change order to add the catch basin is going to be
approved before they mob back out.

recommendation is that the board approve up to the amount of Granites bid PR#19 -
$10,632.10 and authorize Chairman Fereday to sign a contract with Granite or Thueson,
depending on costs.
• Credit for not installing catch basin in planter PR#17 - $2,345.01.
Mr. Cleaver recommends time and materials see (Railroad Catch Basin PR#19)
Mr. Fereday asked for a timeline and Mr. Cleaver said the work itself will last about 3 or 4 days. If a
decision on which contractor was made this week, he thinks the catch basin could be in within 3
weeks.
Mr. Stewart confirmed the original 10% contingency. He asked Mr. Cleaver to clarify. The original
amount was increased to $650,000 plus $65,000 in contingency. Keller has spent $660,000 of the
budgeted amount.
Mr. Cleaver said that Keller will close out the project and compile all plans and CAD files. This is
important for future project.
Chairman Fereday asked Mr. Stewart if he would do the inspection. He said he would not
recommend this for consistency plus he is managing 4-5 other construction projects. Mr. Stewart
questioned why there was project closeout in the fall and now. Mr. Cleaver said that they did not
charge for closeout in the fall.
Mr. Watkins asked if Franz Witte will come back before closeout. When substantial completion was
done, landscaping was not accepted. This will need to be done this Spring with Epikos. Member
Peugh explained that you wait until the plants leaf out. Franz Witte has a one year guarantee which
will be the middle of June. Mr. Stewart stated that it will be at least five weeks until the City is ready
to accept the project, weather dependent.
9. CHANGE ORDER
There was discussion about the estimated cost to complete construction administration.
Mr. Cleaver presented an estimated cost sheet.
Member Winkeller moved to approve PR#17. Member Watkins seconded the motion.
Member Winkeller moved that PR#19 be approved on the contingency that the total is within $500
of any competitive bids, otherwise, we go to the competitive bidder and not to exceed $10,632.10.
Keller will make the decision. Mr. Stuart or Mr. Borner will to do the necessary inspections.
Member Peugh seconded the motion.
Member Peugh moved that the board authorize Nathan Stewart to negotiate with Keller to conduct
their construction administration for the balance of the project not to exceed $7,549.00, in a time
and materials basis based on their estimated cost from May 17th. Member Winkeller seconded the
motion.
