Re: Monthly Department Report – December 2022
1. Housing:
Phase 1 of “The Toaster” has been completed. City staff is working on plans for the bidding of Phase
2 which is the interior remodel. The Council Retreat will stop at the project so the Council can see the
original interior and plans for the interior remodel. The Housing Authority formation will occur in
2023. WCM Housing Trust (non-profit) is rebuilding its Board and requested McCall’s representation.
The annual audit for fourteen (14) deed-restricted units is underway.
2. Long-range Planning:
The Valley County Waterways Management Plan has not been adopted by Valley County
Departments yet. The City will adopt the Plan by Resolution after Valley County.
Impact Area joint meeting will occur on January 19 with the County Commissioners. The Valley
County Planning and Zoning Commission provided recommendations for the McCall Impact Area.
These recommendations were presented to the County Commissioners on January 3, 2023, and they
plan to have another meeting with an attorney on January 17, 2023.
Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan: A series of three online questionnaires will be released in
January to gather additional public input on desired amenities and specific park locations. A work
session with Council is scheduled for February 24.
3. Code Updates:
Staff is preparing updated information regarding service stations along scenic routes. The item was
discussed on December 6, 2022, at the McCall Area Planning & Zoning Commission and is expected
to be brought to Council in February 2023. Similarly, staff have been working on evaluating
development standards and plan to introduce this topic at the Council retreat.

9. Sustainability and Climate Action Planning
2018 & 2021 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventories – Staff has completed the outstanding
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory for the MYL Airport and users thanks to new data made
available from the Updated Airport Master Plan. The remaining data to review include stationary fuel
combustion in the McCall Community (primarily Propane Tanks) and Emissions from Powerboats.
Staff will be working with ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability beginning at the end of
January to replicate the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory for the year 2021 to use as a tool to
assess changes in our community and Local Government impacts following increases in development
and investment in energy-efficient technologies at City facilities using Federal ARPA dollars.
Inflation Reduction Act Funding – Staff continues to monitor information and guidance on the
predicted opportunities to access IRA funding for Climate Action & Sustainability programs as it is
made available. Webinars indicate more information will be available in the Spring of 2023.
10. Public Art:
Library Integrated Artwork Project – The Library Board and Public Art Advisory Committee
unanimously recommended that Joe Thurston be commissioned for the project. An Artwork
Commission Agreement is on the January 12 City Council agenda for consideration.
