Council Member Thrower asked how school buildings are treated in the Transition Plan. Mr.
Kostelec noted the School District should have its own Transition Plan and Access McCall is only
for City owned facilities. Council felt the priorities identified made sense, agreed to set aside
funding for ADA upgrades, and directed staff to bring Access McCall to Council for adoption at a
future meeting.

Stefanie Bork Parks Administrator introduced Kristian Kachur, consultant for Logan Simpson.

Additionally, Ms. Kachur reviewed the public outreach series, needs assessment summary,
community comparisons, funding options, and priorities moving forward as well as the next steps.
Mayor Giles expressed excitement that the PROS Plan incorporated feedback and opinions of the
youth in the community and noted the great feedback and public participation across the board.
Council Member Nelson would like to see housing issues as a higher priority in the plan. Parks
and Recreation Director Kurt Wolf noted the difficulties of using certain City -owned properties
