APPROVAL OF MINUTES Member Woodworth stated that he was present at the September meeting, but was not listed in the roll call of the minutes. Member Woodworth moved to approve the September 17,2013 minutes, as amended. Chair Fereday seconded the motion. Motion carried. INVOICES Member Bailey moved to approve the Redevelopment Association of Idaho, Inc. invoice for $750. Member Woodworth seconded the motion. Motion carried. FIR STREET TREE GRATES Ms. James spoke about integrated Public Art within the Urban Renewal District, specifically the Fir Street Project. She presented cost estimates for creating unique locally designed fabricated tree grates, rather than buying them from a catalog. After speaking with other Public Art Programs, she settled on $750 for artist fees per design. One design could be used and repeated on all of the tree grates or you could choose multiple designs. Fabrication may be done locally by Danny's Welding, who did the tree grates for the Third Street Project, would be around $1,500. Ms. James added a $250 design setup fee because whoever does the fabrication, would have to take the artist's design and translate it to get it to work as a tree grate. The approximate budget for the artist design tree gate is $2,500 a piece. IVis. James asked the members for direction as to whether they would like to proceed with the project. The discussion continued. Member Woodworth made a motion to start the public art selection process for four designs for the five foot square tree grates with a $750 per design artist fee and a maximum fabrication fee of $1.750. Member Pietri seconded the motion. The motion carried. McCall Redevelopment Agency October 15, 2013 Minutes 2 MRA CASH FLOW AND FINANCIALS Treasurer Linda Stokes presented the MRA financials as of September 30,2013 showing a cash balance of $220,543. 2010 IMPROVEMENT PROJECT WARRANTY ISSUE UPDATE Mr. Stewart said there has been activity by a Granite Excavation subcontractor. Five cracked concrete areas have been fixed. He also said that they have done a warranty inspection on the 2012 project. Everything looks good with the exception of collaring of the manholes. Granite will be required to come back and lower them. DISCUSSION ABOUT LEGACY PARK SIDEWALKS Mr. Coyle said that he has talked to Mr. Stewart and they have discussed possible solutions to fix the spalling that has occurred on the Legacy Park sidewalks. Mr. Stewart said that they need to do some more research and get some cost options and return to the board with this information on sealing or replacement with concrete or pavers. MCCALL MALL UPDATE Ms. Groenevelt said that this is a City issue, because it is an agreement between the City of McCall and the property owner of the McCall Mall. She has been communicating with Bill Nichols about agreement, and he feels that both parties have not fulfilled the agreement; therefore, it would be better to extend the agreement rather than try to enforce it. Ms. Groenevelt spoke to the property owners representative and they discussed updating the agreement with timelines. She will bring the agreement to the McCall City Council to determine how they will proceed. NEXT MEETING November 19, 2013 The meeting was adjourned at 9:20 AM.
