PRESENTATION OF APPLICATIONS
17-02—MCCALL MUSIC SOCIETY—SummerFest 2017 $4,000:
No one showed for presentation
17-03 —ALPINE PLAYHOUSE—Greenroom/Storage Area Improvements $5,500:
Dana Parker presented. Commissioner Hanson asked if it was necessary to move this project to next year,
giving the Alpine Playhouse time to do a cost estimate and a set of plans as it seemed they were not ready
for this stage. Mr. Parker stated that an architect was needed and that the funds, if awarded would help go
towards that expense. An estimate has not been put together as of yet but he would be happy to provide it
but probably not by the June 8, 2016 meeting. Also discussed was the various ways the facility is used
and how the revenue is divided. When asked about the $11,000 profit indicated on the financial report,
Mr. Parker said it is in savings and will be used to book high end actors and performers throughout the
coming year that often bring in higher attendance of the community.
17-04—MCPAWS—Animal Health Care $30,000:
Rebecca Wallick, Executive Director, presented. The financials for the previous year showed a profit.
Director Wallick stated that those profits carries the facility through the winter months as the first few
months operate at a loss and has to rely on donations,etc. Commissioner Trino reiterated the request from
Page 1 of 4
LOT COMMISSION Minutes
June 6, 2016
last year of a breakdown of payroll expenses. Commissioner Hanson asked about the thrift store profits.
Director Wallick replied that so far this year the sales were down about 10%, and the store had higher
snow removal expenses last season as well. Commissioner Hanson expressed concerned about the $6500
depreciation costs being included in the Profit and Loss Statement as typically those are not included as
an expenditure for these purposes. Commissioner Trino asked how many animals were serviced last year
and how many of those could be traced back to nonresidents. Director Wallick said 552 animals came
through the facility in 2015 but tracking animals from nonresidents has not been tracked.
17-05 —MANCHESTER ICE & EVENT CENTER—Chiller System Overhaul $28,000:
John Barth and Diana Sabala presented. Mr. Barth gave an overview of what the Chiller System consist
of and how it functions. It is becoming vital to replace important components to keep it functioning at an
optimal level. It would be completed in two phases;Phase One deals with the rebuild and Phase Two with
all the needed parts. However, Phase One impacts the Phase Two insofar that when the mechanic starts
on the rebuild,the parts lined out in Phase Two may need to be used in Phase One, after which the rest of
the items that need replaced in Phase Two could be scattered over the rest of the year. So technically,both
Phases need to be approved together. Mr Barth also shared how he is not paid from Manchester Ice &
Event Center but a volunteer. He spent considerable time researching and traveling to other ice rinks
around the country to understand how ice rinks worked. The one thing became evident was that ice rinks
don't make much of profit, if at all. Mr Barth feels that because the Center brings in a lot of traffic through
its events,he would like to see some help to offset the expenditures with keeping the ice at the high quality
is has become known for.
Ms Sabala was next to speak. She educated the Commission on how the Sabala foundation operates and
how much money is in the foundation. In the beginning, an endowment fund was set up for starting costs.
Money can be pulled from it but it would have to be put back as the interest is what is used for operations.
Ms. Sabala reiterated that the foundation does have a budget for the ice rink, and that she and her family
did not take any money for the work they contributed towards creating the Event Center.
17-06—MCCALL ARTS AND HUMANITIES COUNCIL—Cabin Fever Program$2,510:
Tracey Kindall,Executive Director,presented. Approximately 20-25%of people who attend are from out
of town. The Commissioners asked that in the future, to please provide the previous year's financials as
well as year to date.
17-07—TREASURE VALLEY TRANSIT—Bus Routes $50,000:
17-08—TREASURE VALLEY TRANSIT—Bus Replacement $10,000:
17-09—TREASURE VALLEY TRANSIT—Transit Center Remodeling$14,400:
Terri Lindenberg present for all three requests. She gave a brief background to involvement with the LOT
election and how Treasure Valley Transit(TVT)is a part of many of the other events that occur in McCall.
Currently, the State of Idaho doesn't provide funding for transit and so TVT has to rely on other funding
sources. Medicaid has been one of the bigger funding sources but due to the Health & Welfare hiring a
new broker to handle their funds, the rate given to transit providers had gone down. TVT is fighting the
decision but it may have no effect. In addition with the price of fuel costs going up, Ms. Lindenberg is
concerned that some the services provided currently may have to be dropped. TVT provides service not
only to those staying at the hotels but to employees and people sightseeing. Much of the funding received
is based on match. There is a concern that if the Transit Center is not completed soon, those funds could
Page 2 of 4
LOT COMMISSION Minutes
June 6, 2016
be lost. The Commissioners asked which project had priority. Ms. Lindenberg stated that 17-07 for
$50,000 is the top priority with 17-08 and 17-09 following prospectively in that order.
17-10—MCCALL AREA SNOWMOBILE CLUB—Trail Grooming$30,000:
Mark Sabin presented. Businesses contribute through the Adopt A Trail program and with the purchase
of a $32 sticker fee, of which 85% goes to one of areas designated by the purchaser. Mr. Sabin agreed
with the Commission and the City Council that the sticker price should be higher. He explained the
opposition is at the Legislative level and at the Department of Parks and Recreation. He and others have
tried on numerous occasions to have the price increased but to no avail. Also,there is approximately 17%
of those who use the trails who do not pay the sticker fee,and enforcement is very difficult. Huge number
of snowmobilers come up to McCall during the winter from the Treasure Valley and out of state because
the trails are known for being well groomed. That equates a lot of money for the community. Another
couple of concerns expressed by Mr. Sabin was that Valley County decided this last winter not to service
three of the parking lots so there was a unexpected high expense of snow removal, and needing to look
forward into the future of paying someone to groom the trails as currently it is volunteers (namely only a
couple of people)who are getting to the point of where they may not be able to do so anymore.
17-11 —PAYETTE LAKES SKI CLUB—Grooming Operations $10,000:
17-12—PAYETTE LAKES SKI CLUB—Snowmobile Replacement for Bear Basin $8,000:
Colby Nielsen presented the same information that was submitted and the Commission had no questions.
17-13 —MCCALL SENIOR CENTER—Wood Shed$3,000:
No one showed for presentation.
17-16—IDAHO HOCKEY FOUNDATION—Junior Steelhead Expenses $10,000:
Robert Lyons presented. The request for funds is to offset travel expenses for transporting the team from
Boise. Most of the hockey players live outside of the McCall area and they are required to travel here for
each game. In addition, the bus company that is currently used has been bought out by another company
and the worry is that the costs will go up from this merger. Mr. Lyons wanted to bring to the
Commissioners attention that the owner has put forth $600K-$700K out of pocket to support the team.
These hockey games bring in many new people to the area from around the USA and Europe.Also,hockey
is a stepping stone for college scholarships for many of the players. There are approximately 5-8 players
in Division 3 that receive full scholarships.
17-17—MCCALL AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE—2017 Winter Carnival Fireworks$10,000:
17-18—MCCALL AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE—2017 Fourth of July Fireworks $10,000:
17-19—MCCALL AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE—Idaho Travel Council Grant Match $25,000:
McKenzie Christensen presented for all three requests.Of the three,the grant match(17-19)is top priority.
The amount of funds needed could go down(or up) as it is dependent on what the State of Idaho awards.
This will allow the Chamber continuance in streamlining the marketing programs. The digital campaign
has increased its web traffic 75% and sends people to a lodging page. The goal is to promote midweek
and extended weekend visitations to counter balance the influx of visitors on weekends and certain
holidays/events. Currently 75% of the membership is McCall business but reaching out to surrounding
communities since they will benefit as well.

17-20—MCCALL NORDIC SKI CLUB—McCall Re-Mastered Event Promotion $6,000:
Kurt Wolf presented. The sponsorship award event is ready to move up to include elite skiers and to do
so will require a cash purse. It is also the goal to pay for raffle prizes from local businesses rather than
depending on donations. The attendees have grown to around 100 attendees, seeing skiers from Bend,
Spokane,Utah, and Sun Valley. If the attendees reach 200+, a director will have to be hired as burnout is
a high probability from Mr. Wolf who works full time and volunteers to be the current director.
17-25—MCCALL WINTER SPORTS—Alpine Intermountain Division Qualifying Race $2,750:
Katie Morgan and Matt Sylvester presented. 150 local children participate but when hosting a race,
upwards to 200 out of town attend. Mr. Sylvester reported the growth to 1500% for the race which is
tremendous. That said, it pointed out that the average amount spent by these athletes is approximately
$200/day per child not including what the families who are coming with their children are also spending.
17 26 MCCALL WINTER SPORTS Nordic Intermountain Division Qualifying Race $4,250:
Katie Morgan stated that they were not awarded this race so funding is no longer needed.
17-27—MCCALL WINTER SPORTS—Big Mountain Freeride Competition$2,450:
Mark Beaver presented. The competition has become the 2nd largest event,and freeride competitions have
shown a growth of 15% in the industry.

PRESENTATION OF APPLICATIONS
Parks Director Dennis Coyle presented in place of City Manager Nate Coyle who had to be at another
meeting. City Manager Coyle had submitted the list of City's LOT requests to the Council,who supported
with one change. The Council wanted to see added a staff person for the historical preservation project for
the Library. Director Coyle shared how City Manager Coyle, City Treasurer Stokes, and City Clerk
Wagner worked together to identify and select the most important city projects. There were several
criterion that directed the selection but first priority was life safety issues, and second were items effected
by State and Federal mandates such as the Disability Act. For example, the city has to show progress
towards bringing the city into compliance with the Federal mandates or severe penalties can ensue.
Director Coyle explained that the Council's request to view the list prior to going to the LOT Committee
was to be kept abreast of what is being submitted and open an opportunity to work with the City Manager
on what is priority. The Council wants to express that the direction and opinion of the LOT Committee is
desired Commissioner Hanson acknowledged that the LOT Commission is advisory. He also wanted to
see from the City a budget submitted similar to what the rest of the applicants are required to submit.
Director Coyle acknowledged that request and felt that it was reasonable.

17-13 —MCCALL SENIOR CENTER—Wood Shed$3,000:
George Poole presented. There is an issue with the firewood storage area during the winter, especially if
it's a high snow year as it makes accessibility difficult. The goal is to have a storage area where the wood
is kept dry with easy access. It is still being investigated on which would be more cost efficient, custom
built or premade. There is a problem in finding a premade that will meet the needs properly. The
Commissioners asked about the revenue the Senior Center brings in. Mr. Poole stated that the Winter
Carnival brings in about$2000.All regular meals are free with a donation box for those who want to pay.
The typical dinner brings in approximately 25-30 people, more depending on the meal.
17-22—CITY MCCALL PUBLIC LIBRARY—Expansion Fundraising Campaign$8,300:
Director Meg Lojek presented. Commissioner Hanson asked how large the fund raising campaign will
need to be. Director Lojek explained that the current stage of the process is that a design firm has been
selected, and hopefully with the Council's approval, the library can move forward with hiring the design
firm with the FY16 LOT funds. If the Council approves, the design portion will begin in July. Once that
has been completed,there should be a clearer picture of what will be needed. Director Lojek projects that
will be fall before those numbers are available. The firm selected has many years of experience building
libraries,and she feels confident in their"abilities to design a library right for McCall. Commissioner Wood
asked about a completion date. Director Lojek stated that she would like to see it completed in the next
two years. She did not think a bond would be necessary because of the different funding options available
to the library.
•
17-23 —CITY MCCALL PUBLIC LIBRARY—Intern for Historical Records Scanning $1,500:
Director Lojek briefly touched on the need for someone to scan in records. No discussion ensued.
17-24—CITY MCCALL PUBLIC LIBRARY—Furniture for Idaho Room$1,850:
There was no discussion.
17-28 —CITY CLERK—Tourism Local Option Tax Administration$13,000:
17-29—CITY MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS—McCall Event Cost Recovery $31,150:
City Clerk BessieJo Wagner touched briefly on why the Tourism LOT Administration amount was lower.
As there is now a full time LOT clerk handling allot the collection process, less is needed for other staff
on LOT related activities.No other discussion ensued.
17-30—CITY AIRPORT—Repair of Failed Storm Drain$30,000:
Airport Manager Jay Scherer presented. He described an incident from last winter where a storm drain
failed causing an airplane to crash. Most paving is paid through other avenues such as landing fees but
funding is needed for a quick patch job on this particular area for safety reasons. The Commissioners
raised the question of do all planes pay the landing fee. The answer is no. Only large planes and jets are
required because of the amount of weight coming down on the runway. Smaller planes are lighter and thus
are not required to pay a landing fee.
17-31 —CITY PARKS AND RECREATION—Brown Park Playground Improvements $60,000:
Parks Director Coyle explained that Brown Park does not meet the current American Disabilities Act
(ADA) compliancy guidelines with the playground equipment. Currently the equipment is made from
pressure treated wood which leaches arsenic into the soil and can give nasty slivers. It has a wood chip

LOT COMMISSION Minutes

floor which is very difficult for anyone with impaired physical abilities. The budget for replacement is
$120,000 and the application is for half the costs.
17-32 CITY GOLF COURSE—Patch and Seal Cart Paths $50,000:
Golf Course Superintendent Eric McCormick presented the necessity of fixing the cart paths due to winter
damage from snow equipment. The Commission asked if keeping the paths open during the winter will
be continuing every year. Superintendent McCormick stated that it will be due to the direct request of the
City Council. Commissioner Trino inquired to the installing of pay boxes to encourage users to contribute
to the path upkeep and Superintendent McCormick replied with it has been discussed. Commissioner
Snodgrass stated that the cart fees are a possible revenue source to help cover the costs of repairing the
paths.
17-33 - CITY GOLF COURSE—Fairway Mower Replacement(2x) $38,000:
Superintendent McCormick presented that two mowers need replaced. No questions were asked by the
Commissioners.
17-34 I CITY GOLF COURSE—Rough Mower Replacement$30,000:
Nothing was presented and no questions were asked.
17-35—CITY PARKS AND RECREATION—Rotary Park Pavement Replacement $10,000:
Parks Director Coyle explained that Rotary Park is 2/3 to being ADA compliant. The goal is to finish it
this year. The pathway is roughed in and the decision whether to pave or uses pavers still needs to be
made. Looking at possibly paving the parking lot as well. The project is $75,000. Commissioner Hanson
suggested that the Rotary Park Club should be approached for donations.
17-36=CITY COMMUNICATION DEVELOPMENT—Art for Lardo Bridge $10,000:
City Planner Delta James presented. For the first time in history, the State of Idaho is allowing art to be
added to bridges. Lardo Bridge was engineered with this in mind. The Endowment of the Arts will give
money but it has a matching fund requirement and is time sensitive. This kind of funding does not come
up oftep which is why funding is being requested. Commissioner Trino asked who will decide the art.
City Planner James explained that multiple designs are collected and submitted to a volunteer board after
which it is put up for public vote. The choices are limited by what is submitted.
17-37—CITY PARKS AND RECREATION—Brush Chipper Purchase $38,500:
Golf Superintendent Eric McCormick shared the reasons why a chipper is now being used the last couple
of years due to the Council's directive. In the beginning a small chipper was used but was not adequate to
do the work needed so a large chipper is rented from Ikola at a cost of$2000 for a half day. The goal is to
purchase the equipment rather than renting as in the long run as in the long run, it would be more cost
effective. The life expectancy is 20 years. Only trained personnel would be allowed to use it and no
seasonal staff
17-38!CITY COMMUNICATION DEVELOPMENT—Pathway Wayfinding Implementation$10,000:
Community Development Director Michelle Groenevelt gave a history of the pathway issues.The number
one issue that stands out is inadequate or no directive signage. With effort to have people use alternative
routes to get around town and off the main roads (safety issues), it has become apparent that there needs
to be abetter wayfinding system. The top two sections in need are Ponderosa and Lake Street areas. It
Page 3 of 8

would also reduce sign clutter. Director Groenevelt presented a sign prototype that she is looking at.
Finding sources of funding has not been successful. Commissioner Wood made the suggestion that the
signs indicate whether the path is for horses,bikers,or pedestrians. Commissioner Hanson wanted to know
how many signs were needed. Director Groenevelt estimated 20 or so. The replacement would be done in,
phases.
