From: John Gebhards, Nez Perce Tribe Fisheries Office
Cc: McCall City Mayor
Date: October 30, 2012
I am sending you this letter in regard a recent activity that was undertaken today by the
McCall City Works Department. Today,we were informed that the City of McCall
would be doing road improvements to a section of Helmich Street which had not been
maintained by the City in over 15 years. While I applaud the city for taking such actions,
we were also blindsided by this very same action.
At the time that the road department notified us of the work, which was in the process of
beginning, they also informed us that we would no longer be allowed to park along a
section of the road that the Nez Perce.Tribe's Fisheries office has been utilizing for
employee parking for over 15 years. While we are not the owner of the property adjacent
to the roadway, I feel that a greater effort should have been put forth by the city to
discuss the road improvements and how it would potentially affect our office. I feel that
a solution could have been developed that would have met both the needs of the city and
our office. This sudden action has created a very difficult parking scenario for our
employees, our work vehicles, and potentially our surrounding neighbors.
