Review Minutes: Minutes of April 20, 2022, Terry moved, seconded by Steve.
PROS Plan
Terry Shared about the focus group, of historic preservation, Idaho Climate impact assessment,
flexibility will be key as we move forward. Current issues to consider, snow pact, shorter seasons
and how does this impact our recreational uses.
FEE Structure
Arborist site visits, concessionaires, park reservation fees, Larry mentioned the reservation sign
may keep public from enjoying the park and signage should be cleared. Dave speaks to the rental
costs associated with prime lake front real estate.
4th of July Alcohol Restriction
Kurt spoke to last weeks' City council and the discussion of alcohol restrictions. Originally it was
a 3 year MOU which expired and has continued to be visited yearly and vote to coincide with
Idaho State Parks. Justin, McCall Police Chief recommended it may be a good time to lift the
restriction. The culture of 4t" of July has continued to improve and focus on family friendly.
Council recommended a survey to public, majority of the survey takers were in support of
restricting. The results will go to council next week. Steve voiced in favor of keeping rule in place
and Terry voiced he took the survey and was in favor of restriction to continue. Larry is opposed
and thinks a more permanent resolution should take place. Dave mentioned there are plenty of
locations in the community to go enjoy alcoholic beverages.
Recreation Department Programs and Events:
Summer Programming will begin in June and registration filled for summer programming with a
growing waitlist the month of May. Larry offered to assist with programming if needed,
specifically the mountain bike program.
Arbor day- Was a success even with poor weather. More tree seedlings are needed for handout
next year.
