MRA CASH FLOW AND FINANCIALS
Treasurer linda Stokes stated that the ending balance for the net cash flow, based on estimated
amounts, is $52 /660. She is expecting the property tax to arrive from the county this week and is
believes it will be somewhat larger that she had forecasted.
Ms. Groenevelt said that the Public Hearing for the MRA Budget adoption will be scheduled at the next
MRA meeting, August 20, 2013.
PUBLIC ART COST ESTIMATES
Ms. James staffs the McCall Public Art Advisory Committee. She presented some ideas for public art
which fell in the MRA district. Those included doing something with the utility box and or the building
that is in legacy Park, doing murals or affixing sculptures to the bike path retaining walls. Maybe
integrating public art into the Fir Street project in the form of tree grates that artists design or artwork
within the sidewalk itself (see attached).
The cost estimates for artist designed tree grates for the Fir Street project would be about $750 per
artist design plus fabrication.
Ms. Groenevelt said that they would have Ms. James come back to the September meeting.

NEXT MRA PROJECT COMBINED WITH GRANT OPPORTUNITY
Ms. Groenevelt said that since the last meeting she met with Dennis Coyle, Carol Coyle and Nathan
Stewart to discuss a new grant opportunity. It is called the Community Choices for Idaho Program. It will
be administered through ITO and they have $3.5 million statewide for transportation projects. She said
that they would like to put in a number of pre-applications and then ITO would come to McCall and let
them know which project they think would be the most competitive. Ms. Groenevelt said they included
pre-application on MRA projects as well. MRA would not have to apply for a grant but without this pre
application in place they would be unable to apply. The match requirement is 7.34%. She said that they
included almost the entire project that MRA has designed to date. The maximum is $500,000 but she is
not sure how that money would be allocated. The project for MRA is around $300,000 with engineering
and construction costs.
She said that they also included funding for Park Street reconstruction, the pedestrian facilities-the
avenue detached pathway and completing the pathway from the Spring's apartments up to the Diehard
pathway but she feels the MRA project would be very competitive. These are the shovel ready projects
but they won't know which one is the most competitive until ITO tells them.
Nathan Stewart said that this funding opportunity is statewide and will be extremely competitive.
Dennis Coyle presented the second grant opportunity which is the State Waterways. He said the MRA Fir
Street project could possibly be included with the boat ramp project. Match requirement is a minimum
of 20% but if we could get it up to a 50% match, it would be highly competitive.
Grant discussion continued.
Member Woodworth moved to direct staff to rescind issuing the bid projects for Fir Street sidewalk and
direct staff to use the MRA projects as part of the two grant applications for Community Choices and for
Waterways Improvement Fund. Member Peugh seconded the motion. The motion carried.
2010 IMPROVEMENT PROJECT WARRANTY ISSUE
Ms. Groenevelt called Nathan Cleaver. Nathan Stewart said he understood that Nathan Cleaver had a
discussion with Granite and that they had Secesh lined up to do some work to get the control in place.
Secesh will also do a couple of extra survey shots at the problem pedestrian ramp.
Nathan Stewart asked what the timing is for these improvements.
Nathan Cleaver told Granite that they would like to have it done after Labor Day.
