SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The City of McCall is applying for funding from the Idaho Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Program administered by Idaho Commerce in the amount of $225,000 to support improvements to facilities
that primarily provide programs and services for people aged 65 and older. Specifically, grant funds are
requested to make improvements to the parking lot and drive access that serve the McCall Senior Center
and are currently potholed and uneven, creating unsafe conditions that do not meet ADA guidelines. The
proposed project scope of work includes consolidation of the 1st Street drive access to the south of the
Senior Center facility and removal of the northly access drive to improve safety. This necessitates a slight
realignment of the pedestrian pathway along the former railroad right of way to the south and piping of a
short section of drainage. The parking lot surrounding the Senior Center would be fully resurfaced, striped,
and signed. $160,000 from the City’s FY21 CIP budget will be identified as grant match and utilized to
replace siding and improve insulation on the building envelope.
The CDBG grant application Economic Advisory Council summary page, preliminary budget, cost estimate
prepared by Horrocks Engineers, and project map are attached. The CDBG application handbook and
application forms are available for public review upon request. A public hearing is a requirement of the
application process and is identified in the CDBG Citizen Participation Plan, which was approved by
Council on October 6, 2011, as part of the City’s 3rd Street Improvement Project (also CDBG funded). The
Notice of Hearing was published in the February 11, 2021 edition of The Star News.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Hold the public hearing on the Community Development Block Grant application.
2. Approve submittal of a Community Development Block Grant application and authorize the Mayor
to sign all necessary documents.
