Member Youde moved to approve the April 17, 2012 meeting minutes as presented. Member
Swanson seconded the motion. The motion carried.
There was some discussion of the response to the letter that was sent to the three affected property
owners regarding the proposed MRA Boundary expansion. The board explained what the
amendment would accomplish to the new members.

will draft a letter for the taxing districts and she will schedule this item for a Planning and Zoning
meeting.

4. ARBITRAGE PROPOSAL 2012
Treasurer Stokes explained that Arbitrage calculations are required by the IRS every five years for
the life of the bonds. Eide Bailey LLP has prepared the 2012 proposal and the fee is $2,400. Ms.

5. MRA CASH FLOW AND FINANCIALS
Ms. Stokes stated that the two invoices just approved are not reflected in this cash flow
spreadsheet. The spreadsheet shows MRA spending $84,500 in August 2012 and $84,500 in
September 2012 on the Fir Street project leaving a balance of $31,529.
Chair Fereday stated that he was not willing to go forward with a project and spend $169,000
leaving the board with a $31,529 balance.
Member Bailey stated that he believes the board should move forward for the base bid.
Member Swanson explained that if the project is phased, the board would be paying mobilization
fees multiple times, which is an inefficient use of the limited funds.
6. REVIEW CONSTRUCTION BID DOCUMENTS FOR 2012 IMPROVEMENT PROJECT - FIR STREET BOAT
LAUNCH PROJECT - Keller
There was discussion on what should be included in the bid package if it were to go out to bid.
Member Peugh moved to have Keller put the bid out for the Fir Street Project, the Base Bid and the
Additive Bid #4. Member Youde seconded the motion. Six members voted yes. Member Swanson
voted no. The motion carried.
7. CENTENNIAL PARK PLAZA
Ms. Groenevelt stated that she left this item on the agenda from the last meeting because there had
been discussion of about contributing $5,000 on the Plaza. She asked if Member Bailey had heard
specifically of anything that could be purchased for this project as the board can't just donate the
money. They would need it to be for a specific purchase. Member Bailey said that he has not seen
anything specifically at this time.
Mr. Stewart said that construction will begin by the end of this month and will end around June 30.
Mr. Stewart suggested that the Centennial Committee come before the board and make their
suggestions for the contribution.
Chairman Fereday asked Ms. Groenevelt to invite Dean Martens of the Centennial Committee to
come to the next MRA meeting.
8. OTHER
Chairman Fereday gave the new board members a short history of the MRA boundary lines.
