AB 02-2 Ordinance No. 762 (ZON-01-3) for Glenveigh Resorts
Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that the complete record of the Planning & Zoning Commission's
action is included in the Council packets. A Public Hearing is required for the zoning
designation, but not for the annexation. The Commission held a number of hearings
related to the proposal for the Recreational Vehicle Park. Other parts of the
development are currently under review and require approval to make the Recreational
Vehicle Park a reality.
Mayor Colton opened the Public Hearing.

application. Mr. Kirkpatrick replied that they did and said that the City Planning &
Zoning Commission is required to make a recommendation to Council. After
annexation, the property would be zoned.
Hearing no further comments, Mayor Colton closed the Public Hearing.
Mr. Muller asked why the city must re -designate the zoning. Mr. Kirkpatrick explained
that the language in the ordinance is based on State Code requirements.
Ms. Arp asked why a development agreement is not required. Mr. Kirkpatrick said
nothing came up during the review that would require a development agreement. Ms.

Arp asked if time was of the essence to suspend the three readings of the ordinance.
Mr. Kirkpatrick said not from City's perspective, but he was not sure about the
applicant's perspective. Kevin O'Leary said he put together all the applications. He did
not think two weeks would make much of a difference.

Muller, Ms. Arp, and Mr. Eimers voted aye. The motion carried.

City's financial records showed that the Golf Course had a $72,000 positive cash
balance.
Matt Uranga, J-U-B Engineers, explained change order no. 1 with CNI in detail. He said
the change order deals with the leaking wet well. They developed another method to
test the joints, which has to go to DEQ for approval. Mr. Uranga said bands are being
considered to fix the problem. He estimated the cost for bands to be $25,000. Mr.
Uranga gave Mr. Strope a work change directive today to allow the contractors to put in
the bands. CNI should be done with the J-Ditch Project the 1st or 2nd week of February.
Mr. Uranga said it has been a pleasure to work with CNI.
Mr. Staup asked if there was an inspection at each stage of the project. Mr. Colton said
there were inspections. Mr. Uranga explained that there are observers on the project.
However, the contractor accepts responsibility for work being done correctly.

BUSINESS
AB 02-6 Conference Center Committee Recommendation to Council
Mike DeBoer, Chairman of the Conference Center Committee, said the committee
considered the feasibility of a conference center in order to make a recommendation to
Council. He also said the economy needs this conference center. The committee will
sunset after making a recommendation to Council.
Mr. DeBoer said a consultant is needed to come in and recommend the scope of the
project. Two proposals were received, which recommends two phases. The consultant
would confirm whether or not a conference center is right for McCall. Costs and
financing sources would also be identified. The committee has already identified some
funding sources for a consultant. Ms. Arp asked if using Urban Renewal funds would
limit the sites to only the Urban Renewal boundaries. Ms. Buxton said she was fairly
certain it wouldn't limit the sites.
Council thanked the committee for the work they had done. Staff was instructed to
work on funding sources for a consultant.
AB 02-12 Lakeview Village Lift Station
Mr. Keating said Dennis Coyle of Ponderosa State Park has grant funding for a sewer
lift station upgrade. The cost to upgrade the station to City standards exceeds the grant
amount. The Sewer District is willing to complete the upgrade and take over operations
of all the park's lift stations, but it requires the City's consent. In conjunction with the
upgrade, the Sewer District would expand their existing boundaries to include all of the
State Park and adjacent private lines. The consensus of staff, to include Vern Brewer,
is that this proposal is in the best interest of the City.
