Attending: Chairman Wayne Saverud, Jim Atkinson, Noel Furlong, Clare Hafferman,
Mike Baker, Ed Gallagher, Parking Commission Chairman Gordon Pirrie, Fred
Zavodny and Todd Samson of Public Works.
O'Neil Parking Lot
Fred presented the design plan for the parking lot to be constructed on the O'Neil
property which was done by the Public Works Department. This design has been
reviewed and recommended by both the Parking Commission and the Architectural
Review Committee. He explained the lighting will be done later, possibly in-house also.
The existing cement slab on the property will be removed because of drainage problems
and complete new surfacing done. Fred stated they had estimated $40,000 to $50,000 for
the project. There was a 'ballpark' estimate done by Mike Baker in May of $35.625, and
was submitted as a request by the Parking Commission for TIF funds. Fred felt that was
a realistic figure as bids are coming in very far apart at this time. He stated that the
demolition of the cement slab is a very large portion of the cost. However, there should
be some very competitive bids as the firm doing the Law Offices behind the lot may be
• able to coordinate with their lot paving.
There was discussion of a walkway (steps) between the lot and P.P.& L. property as well
as another walkway through the landscaping to the Tee Shirt Shop; the split rail fence
in the shrubs to prevent people walking through the landscaping, possible benches, and
the landscaping being done in-house.
Fred stated the specs for this projects are 90% complete and will be done in another day.
Gordon stated the Law firm plans to be in their new building the second week of Sept.
and it would be nice if this work could be coordinated with their time schedule.
Noel Furlong moved to accept the Public Works design of the lot, with specs going out for
bid as soon as possible, and with the bid opening at a Sept. Council meeting. Clare
Hafferman seconded, motion carried.
Tax Increment Budget
Ed stated to the committee that it is possible there could be an increase in the
anticipated increment. After discussion Noel moved to recommend to Council that any
increase in increment funding be placed in the Redevelopment Fund line item, thereby
any additional requests will go through proper committees with final approval by
Council. Clare Hafferman seconded, motion carried.
Ed reported on on -going and up coming projects including; Griffin Field & BN property
development, college buildings, and the Parking Commission's change of status
request.
Meeting Adjourned at 9:00 AM.
