COUNCIL TALK TIME
Council Member Bertram asked about the construction on Lenora Street, wondering who dug the
hole and for what purpose. There was no one present who knew what the construction project
was about. Lindley Kirkpatrick stated he would get back to her about the project.
Council Member Bailey asked about the August City of McCall financial statement and asked if
Lindley Kirkpatrick was confident that the City would meet the end of the year commitments of
income versus expenses. Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that they will balance if considered by each
fund, but not necessarily if you just look at each department, adding that neither golf nor sewer is
likely to balance.
Council Member Bailey suggested removing the utility pole on the corner of Park and 3rd Street
because it is unsightly and appears to only have one light on it. Council Member Bailey added
that there is another pole on the border between the Maverick gas station and Alpine Village
property that does not seem to be in use, that he would also like to see removed.
Council Member Bailey asked about getting ITD to lower the speed limit on Highway 55 near
the intersection of Elo Road, due to numerous accidents on that section of the Highway
Council Member Bailey stated that one of the projects associated with the affordable housing
projects on county land include enlarging the existing courthouse facility. Council Member
Bailey stated that the City needs to think about what they want the courthouse facility to do for
them now and in the future because now is the time to do the design work for that facility.
Council Member Bertram stated it was important for the City to get a letter from the senior
citizens stating that they are not interested in the courthouse property, and that they are interested
in staying where they are currently. Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that the Senior Center Board provided
such a letter about a year ago.
Council Member Bailey asked about the status of DEQ's approval of the wastewater plant and he
also asked about the FAA review of the airport layout plan. Lindley Kirkpatrick stated he would
get back to Council regarding the status of these issues.

Brown Park — Mr. Briem stated the fish pens are working very well where they are and that the
Committee is thinking of installing a sandbox area to dovetail with the beach area.
Fairway Park — Mr. Briem stated the condition of Fairway Park is better than it has been in years,
and that several Softball tournaments were held at the park this year, and the teams were very
happy with the condition of the park.
Rotary Park— Mr. Briem explained that the Rotary Club renovated the bathrooms this summer,
and that went well. He added that the Committee would like to add some picnic tables and
BBQ's.
Davis Beach— Mr. Briem stated a compromise has been reached in regard to the docks, but that
the Committee would still like to see improved access to the beach, including parking, and
moving the south dock further south to open up the beach area in between the docks.
Riverfront Park — Mr. Briem explained the issue regarding access to Riverfront Park, stating
Forest Service land has to be crossed in order to access Riverfront Park. Mr. Briem stated the
Forest Service land is going to come up for sale in the near future and if that land is not
purchased, access to the park could be compromised.
Mr. Briem stated he would like to credit Jenny Ruemmele, also a member of the Parks Advisory
Committee, for her work with the recreational side of the program, adding that there were
increases in the number of participants for all recreational programs. New programs this year
include a youth soccer camp, a fall youth soccer camp, skateboarding, and dodge ball and flag
football for adults.
Council Member Bertram asked about renovating the fireworks barge and moving it out into the
lake so that it may be used by boaters, etc. as an additional picnicking area. Mr. Briem stated he
was in favor of the idea of adding floating docks around the lake to relieve congestion on some
of the beaches. Council Member Bertram expressed her concern about the absence of a railing
around the fish pen docks, and that it may be a safety concern.
Brock Heasley stated the fish food vending machine generated $800 this summer and that the
fish grew approximately 3 inches this year. Mr. Heasley stated he recently talked with the
Chamber of Commerce about making improvements to the fireworks barge and it was discussed
that the school may come up with a program/project to build a dock to replace the barge or at
least make improvements to the barge.
Mr. Briem stated the area north of marina should be cleaned up. Mr. Heasley stated he has
received several complaints about this area this summer. Mr. Heasley stated Inland marine will
not be there next year, that their lease is up in December, and the City does not intend to renew
the lease.
Mayor Robertson stated the Council needs to get a plan from the Parks & Recreation Advisory
Committee in regards to Riverfront Park.

AB 07-138 Cattail Ridge Subdivision: Zone Map Amendment, Preliminary Plat, and
Planned Unit Development
Michelle Groenevelt, Planning Manager, stated this application was continued from the last
meeting to clean up the Council Findings & Conclusions and to create a development agreement
and ordinance for the zone change.
Bill Nichols stated the ordinance is not usually adopted until after the development agreement
has been signed by all parties. The Council moved on to the next item on the agenda so that this
development agreement could be signed by the applicant before proceeding with adopting the
ordinance.

and Planned Unit Development
Michelle Groenevelt, Planning Manager, stated this application was also continued from the last
meeting to clean up the Council Findings & Conclusions and to create a development agreement
and ordinance for the zone change.
Council Member Bailey asked that a sentence be added that states "in the event the alley is
improved through to Spruce Street, it shall revert to public ownership and maintenance" so that
if the alley is ever finished, this group does not have to continue maintaining the alley.
Council Member Bertram suggested that it made more sense to pave Louisa Avenue, an arterial
street, before paving the alley way and asked staff to ask the developer if they would be
interested in trading the paving of Louisa Avenue for the paving of the alley.
Council Member Bailey moved to adopt the Findings & Conclusions as amended for the
Zone Map Amendment ZON-07-4, Preliminary Plat SUB-07-7, and Preliminary Plat PUD-
07-4, and to suspend the rules and read Ordinance 844 by title only, one time only. Council

the Council President to sign all related documents. Mayor Robertson seconded the motion
and in a roll call vote, all members voted aye and the motion passed.
AB 07-179 Contract for Golf Professional Services
Lindley Kirkpatrick stated he feels this renewal contract is fair and equitable for both parties,
and that the only missing piece is how to handle the relationship between revenues that increase
as rates increase and the bonus compensation, the splits of those revenues, over time. Mr.
Kirkpatrick added that he and Allan Morrison are happy to continue this relationship and look
forward to finalizing contract and having another 5 years of continued success.

Council Member Bertram stated she appreciates that Mr. Morrison has done such a great job
with the restaurant and she feels better incentives for the restaurant portion of the contract should
be included. There was much discussion regarding the contract.
Council Member Bailey stated the total bonus compensation should not be limited to $10,000,
and suggested there be no cap on the bonus. Mayor Robertson also stated that there should not be
a cap on the bonus.
Mr. Morrison stated that he is happy with the proposed contract, as long as the cap on the total
bonus compensation is removed.
Council Member Bailey suggested that Council get their ideas and thoughts regarding the
contract to Mr. Kirkpatrick to review with Mr. Morrison for the final draft of the contract.
AB 07-138 Cattail Ridge Subdivision: Zone Map Amendment, Preliminary Plat, and
Planned Unit Development
Council Member Bailey redirected the discussion to the Cattail Ridge development. Ms.
Groenevelt stated that the development agreement had been signed and notarized by the
applicant.
Council Member Bailey moved to adopt the Findings & Conclusions for the Zone Map
Amendment ZON-07-2, Preliminary Plat SUB-07-3, and Preliminary Plan PUD-07-3 and
to suspend the rules and read Ordinance 845 by title only, one time only. Council Member
Kraemer seconded the motion and in a roll call vote, the motion passed with four ayes.

AB 07-137 Louisa Avenue Condominiums: Zone Map Amendment, Preliminary Plat,
and Planned Unit Development
There was some discussion about the ordinance that was read as part of AB 07-137, regarding
the Louisa Avenue Condominiums. It was determined that the wrong ordinance had been read
aloud, however the correct ordinance had been distributed to and considered by the Council. In
order to confirm the Council's action, Mr. Nichols suggested that Ordinance 844 be re -adopted.
Council Member Bailey moved to suspend the rules and read Ordinance 844 by title only,
one time only. Council Member Bertram seconded the motion and in a roll call vote, all
members voted aye and the motion passed.

AB 07- 174 Standard Street Sections for City Streets and Highway 55
Michelle Groenevelt, Planning Manager, stated staff asked the City Engineer to update the street
standards because the standards had not been updated when the new city code was adopted.
There was discussion about the requirements for street standards.
Mayor Robertson expressed concern that there could not be any construction of sidewalks, curbs,
or gutters until a master plan from an engineer has been generated. Ms. Groenevelt stated that the
City Manager has recently approved a task order for the City Engineer to establish storm water
grades along the Third Street corridor.
Council Member Bailey moved to adopt the standard street sections and related detail
designs. Council Member Kraemer seconded the motion and in a roll call vote, all members
voted aye and the motion passed.
AB 07-177 ROS-05-15: Samson Trail Business Park
Michelle stated this application was approved in 2004 and that a condition of approval was that
the applicant enter into a development agreement with the City of McCall.
Council Member Bailey moved to approve the Development Agreement for ROS-05-15,
Samson Trail Business Park, and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
Council Member Kraemer seconded the motion and in a roll call vote, all members voted
aye and the motion passed.
AB 07-180 Update Regarding Accessibility Complaints
Lindley Kirkpatrick stated there was a recent complaint regarding handicap access and the
question was raised as to who is responsible for ADA compliance and conformance.
Mr. Kirkpatrick stated the new building codes, which will be effective in January 2008, address
ADA compliance more comprehensively and that all new construction as well as remodels will
have to be in compliance with the ADA guidelines.
Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that ADA compliance is not something the City enforces, unless it can be
addressed in the building code, so enforcement becomes a civil rights matter against a specific
business. Mr. Kirkpatrick stated staff is now aware of an ADA Task Force that can assist the
Building Department in understanding the new International Building Code.
