Dave Armstrong gave a brief presentation of the concept for a structure of the City's Centennial
Project, a public art installation that would reflect the last 100 years of M:cCall's history and look
forward to the next 100 years of McCall's future. The proposed location was the southeast corner
of Third Street and Railroad Avenue, displacing about five parking spaces. The conceptual
design showed an undulating, low wall (max height about 16") for 100 feet along Third Street —
representing history — and another 100 feet along Railroad — representing the future. The proposal
included some sort of trellis, arch, or other focal point at the corner, where the two landscape
elements come together.
Mayor Bailey suggested that the City's Centennial Project may be an opportunity to widen the
sidewalk along Third Street. Mayor Bailey also suggested looking into the possibility of closing
off the entry to the parking lot from Third Street and extending the park the full length of the
parking lot.
Some discussion of available funding took place, including Urban Renewal revenue.
The Council was unanimously supportive of the location and the concept, giving the Legacy
Project subcommittee, headed by David Armstrong, the go ahead to refine the design. The
Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council approval would be required before anything
was final.
Mayor Bailey led the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance at 6:13 p.m.

Mayor Bailey called for public comment at 6:14 p.m.
Hearing no comments, Mayor Bailey closed the public comment.

AB 11-35 Golf Advisory Committee Annual Report

report. Mr. Giles commented on accomplishments and plans for the future. Mr. Giles and the
Council commended Eric McCormick, Golf Course Superintendent; Allan Morrison, Golf Pro;
and all of their employees for a great job at the golf course.
AB 11-34 Set Date and Location of FY12 Budget Public Hearing and approve FY12 Budget
Calendar
Linda Stokes, City Treasurer, presented the Council with the FY12 Budget Calendar for
approval. Council suggested amending the April 22, 2011 work session to two separate dates,
April 15, 2011 and April 29, 2011.
There was Council discussion on the Council's part of the process. Council Member Witte would
like to break up the presentations by the Department Heads. She felt that the all day presentations
are too long and some budget items may not get the time needed to fully understand the need and
justification. Council Member Witte would also like to hear more about the narratives from the
Department Heads.
There was also discussion on the participation of the Committee Chairs and the budget process.
There was general Council consensus that the Committee Chairs should share their thoughts on
the budget during their annual reports to Council.
Council Member Delaney moved to approve the FY12 Budget Development Calendar as
amended, set the FY12 Budget Public Hearing on August 11, 2011 at 6:00 PM in the Legion
Hall, and direct the Treasurer to notify the County Clerk of the date and location of the
FY12 Budget Public Hearing. Council Member Witte seconded the motion. In a roll call
vote Council Member Delaney, Council Member Witte, Council Member Aymon, Mayor
Bailey, and Council Member Scott all voted yes and the motion passed.
