Business:
1. Large Concession Proposal Payette Pedal Party- Kurt gave a brief introduction of Sarah Lenda applicant. Sarah would like to begin her own business of hosting the Payette Pedal Party a pontoon sized boat propelled by pedaling patrons. She shared the services she plans to provide to locals and tourists. The boat can host 16 passengers for a 90 min experience on the southern portion of lake with guests bringing their own refreshments. Dave and Paul asked questions regarding sound, route of pedal boat, licensing, and insurance. Sarah spoke heavily to providing and using the safest route possible and respectfully. Sarah is interested in using Art Roberts and Brown Park depending on lake congestion. Larry voiced concern of Brown Park as a location and Donna had the same concerns on protecting that area for non-motorized craft and swimmers. Larry will support the Payette Pedal Party if Brown Park is excluded as a location. Sarah agreed and removed Brown Park as a potential location from her proposal. Sarah is looking into alternatives, like mooring at Mile High Marina, but she is on a waitlist for a slip. Sarah is willing to negotiate the percentage of gross to the city but currently is comfortable at 2%. Terry made the recommendation of 2% to start then an annual review to reassess fee. The committee made the recommendation to council that the Payette Pedal Party operate from Art Roberts. Dave motioned a 3 -year permit with a 2%- 4% fee depending on dockage to be reviewed annually for fee and CPI amount. Larry seconded, all but Paul voted in favor.

short-term moorage to assist with trailer congestion. Terry motioned; Paul seconded all in favor. Stefanie will work with Dave on the letter.
4. Black Bear Condos- (update) The Fishers neighbors to the Black Bear Condo Development on Thula shared their concerns of losing access to the city easement they use daily as a driveway for entry to their home.
