SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The goal of this Letter of intent is to provide CIMBA with a formal avenue to be listed as a partner with the City of McCall Parks & Recreation Department. This partnership will help
both organizations move forward with a grass roots effort to design, fundraise, and construct a Mountain Bike Jump Park on City owned property adjacent to the public pathway running
between Dienhard Lane and Stibnite Street. This area is already being used by the public for biking, hiking, and running through informal singletrack trails that transect the site.
Project Overview: Over the past two years CIMBA and parks staff have explored the idea of a grass roots approach to funding and constructing a formal Mountain Bike Jump Park. With CIMBA’s
support, energy, and ability to fundraise for the project, it has the potential to become a unique and wonderful community amenity.
Over the course of the past year, the parks department has funded basic survey work to better understand the site from within the department’s annual operating budget. The department
has worked with other city departments to identify the design and engineering requirements and review process required of a project of this nature. CIMBA is currently working with the
Land Group who has committed some pro-bono design services to develop conceptual design drawings and renderings to market and help with fundraising efforts for the project.
As the project takes shape and project costs are better understood formal agreements will be outlined and established for council review and approval.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the letter of intent to support and partner with the Central Idaho Mountain Bike Association to design, fundraise, and build a community Mountain Bike Jump Park, and approve
the mayor to sign all necessary documents to include any revisions discussed and noted during the meeting.
