TrafHe Studies BN Property - City Attorney Neier suggested to Ross that this study could wait as there are no binding commitments at this time. Alter discussing the possibility of Clete Daily doing a study, the committee decided to wait and put this on the agenda for another meeting. Ross was asked to contact Clete regarding an east/west traffic flow being included in his proposal, and if it would be included in the cost proposal of $4200. Flathead High School Area - Committee discussed Clete Daily's cost proposal of $4946 to do this study and the urgency in getting traffic counts while school 1s still in session. Ross passed around a copy of the cost proposal breakdown. Motion was made to recommend to council the awarding of the Flathead High School Parking and Traffic Circulation Plan to Clete Daily at the cost of $4946 by Duane Larson, seconded by Barbara Moses, motion carried with three ayes. Request for Proposals College Building Appraisals - Ross talked to City Attorney Neier about getting formal RFP's out. Glen said the city will need formal appraisals done on the properties before RFP's can be put out for developers to see what the level of interest is ( i.e., land and/or buildings, then which land and/or buildings). The range in those appraisals will be somewhere between $4000 and $6000. Roger Jacobson may have done an appraisal for the college a while back which may be available and could possibly be updated. Ross was asked to look into possible former appraisals and this will be put on another agenda at a later date. Equity Supply Meeting Susan reported on the meeting she and Noel Furlong had with Nathan Byrd of Equity Supply. Nathan committed to the fact that he needs to identify the dollar amount of the project itself, and after explaining to him that it may be possible to put in for a technical assistance grant, he stated he would rather hold off on that until the project is farther along. He is willing to put up some of Equity's funds, plus get in touch with some of the members of the national co-op association to pull together some of their funds. They discussed cost of relocation (complete or partial) of Equity as well as the possibility of a land swap. Nathan will have his data together within 30 days. Car Allowance - Community Development Staff Susan asked for an agency car for the CDD staff, possibly leased, it would be for use by the entire staff, including the new agency Director when that position is filled. Staff members are out in the field alot and for years have used their own vehicles and it is time there be a vehicle that everyone has equal access to. If the car allowance is continued, which is hard to monitor and make equitable to everyone, she asked it be distributed evenly between the Director , Susan and Ross. Chairman Furlong asked that the staff get cost estimates and put them, along with rational, into the upcoming budget. Ross currently receives $50 per month car allowance, and until his retirement, Ed Gallagaher received $70 per month. Committee and Mayor Hopkins unanimously agreed Susan should receive $50 car allowance for April, May and June. Meeting adjourned at 5:05 PM.
