Lacking minutes from the June 10 Transportation
Advisory Committee, the administrator asked that the
Council hear the Committee's recommendations on the
Sports' Marina encroachment permit application for
additional boat slips. The Council consented but
limited their consideration of the recommendations to
this topic. Mr. Kirk outlined the agreement of 1991 made
with May Hardware Marina which specified certain parking
management issues. The committee's recommendation was to
execute a similar agreement, amended to reflect the details
of this application, i.e. to require submission of names
and license numbers to the Police Department, to support an
LID for downtown parking, and if certain numbers of
violations occur, require the applicant to purchase land to
accommodate 1 space for each boat, specifically 34 parking
spaces. Mr. Kirk reported and Mr. Krahn, also of the
committee, confirmed this recommendation. VanKomen moved
to accept this committee recommendation and to include it
in the city's response to the Idaho Department of Lands
which will issue the permit. Wallace seconded and the
motion carried.

Recreation advisory Committee appeared. She reported on
the park development and reviewed the proposals which
had been submitted to name the new park. She then
announced that the Committee had selected and recommended
that the new park name be "Legacy Park."
Mrs. Killen also suggested that a community picnic and a
dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony be held on
July 2, 1992 and offered to have the committee
coordinate that event. She also recommended that the
signage for the park be the same wood engraved signage as
appears for Mill Park. VanKomen moved to approve the name
of the park as Legacy Park, to ask the committee to
coordinate the dedication event and to confirm the
recommendation for consistent signage as recommended.
Wallace seconded and the motion carried unanimously.

fabric was not deemed objectionable.
