Boat house- property directly to the north of the boathouse project is up for sale. Discussion over the acquisition of that property has happened. The property could be potentially used for snow storage or parking or some other use that would benefit and or make the boat house project more feasible. The price of the parcel is $699,000. Mr. Pace thought that the property would be nice but not ultimately necessary. The LOT Commission awarded $10,000 to do a feasibility study for the boat house/education center. He will be going to Moscow with Jim Pace and the faculty at University of Idaho who are interested in doing a study and potentially involving some of their higher -level students in a project -based way. Ready to submit Encroachment Permit with COE and IDL. Not all of the money has to come from MRA. They have received a $10,000 grant from Laura Cunningham Moore Foundation that would cover the swim docks and the swim lanes. He is interested in in getting an IDPR grant. County waterways is interested in funding either the waterfront cleanup or the area north of the Marina amenities. Marina is also interested in making log boom a walkout. Brown Park minor and major improvements needed. Playground is non -compliant (ADA). Potentially up to $130,000 in repairs needed. McCall Redevelopment Agency August 21, 2018 Minutes Member Giles asked what Kurt will need total to improve Brown Park and the area north of the marina so that if that is improved that maybe other investors would foot the cost of the purchase of the parcel to the north of the boat house. • Legacy Promenade Construction & additional work discussion — Kurt Wolf Came in 40,000? under budget. • Discussion of acquiring land Land of adjacent to Spruce street right of way. Chairman Fereday stated he is a proponent the city purchasing land for the future for the City. He thinks the forward -looking vision is important and hasn't been implemented by the City management in the past. He has been brainstorming about how to acquire it because without it, the boathouse project would not have parking. The city is always going to need additional areas for snow storage and parking. He thinks the land owner that owns the parcel to the north of the boathouse proposal would be willing to sell the lot for much less if we traded the Pine Street and jdfklsj street property and the city willing to give him a tax break. He thinks it is more important that Brown Park improvements. Ms. Groenevelt spoke of the plan to include land acquisition. Waterfront plan it is not in there but the MOU may have it.
