SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The City has entered into intent for direct purchase agreement with the United States of America through
the United States Forest Service for a 6.4 acre parcel of land adjacent to the Riverfront Park area owned by
the City of McCall. In order for the acquisition to proceed, the Payette Office of USFS has asked the
Council to review the draft deed and the letter of inspection along with Exhibit A. After the documents are
reviewed and approved by Council and legal counsel, then the USFS will proceed with developing a
purchase agreement for the City's consideration. These documents have been sent to the City attorney for
review.
Staff has consulted with staff from the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation, which administers the
Land and Water Conservation Funding grant program. Although the project is recommended for funding,
the grant paperwork must be submitted and approved by the National Park Service in order to obtain the
grant funding of 50% of the purchase price, up to $75,000. Staff is working with IDPR to submit the grant
to the NPS. However, Council should note that no funds toward the purchase can be expended until the
grant award has been approved by NPS. Other work underway related to the grant application is the
appraisal review (required by IDPR) and survey work to delineate the future park boundary, which will be
included in the 6f map as required by Land Water Conservation Fund program guidelines.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the final draft documents including any changes, and authorize the Mayor to sign after
authorization for LWCF grant award has been received.
