Office Update — Karen
Unfinished Business:
First Interstate/Rising Sun Bistro parking. Rising Sun Bistro has agreed to purchase
permits from First Interstate Bank. The bank will provide the restaurant signage for the
side of the building. The person that Mark spoke with at the Bistro wanted to make sure
that all management is in favor of purchasing the permits. Mark will provide an update at
our next meeting.
7. New Business:
Lot maintenance and striping. Karen requested and received a striping bid for the 9 city
lots. The total bid from Pavement Marking is $4,746.00. Bill with Pavement Marking
requested that we have the lots thoroughly cleaned prior to striping this year. They were
swept by the city last year but a lot of gravel still remained. This required Bill having to
do a lot of cleaning by hand. He did not add additional charges for the clean-up but said
that he would have to this year. The bid is broken down by lot if it is determined that
some will make it until next year. Karen requested a sweeping bid from Wicked Clean,
formerly Black Magic Wash Services. As of the meeting, the bid had not been received.
It was decided that we would have Jack drive through the lots and determine in order,
which ones are most in need of striping. Janet suggested that even though the Eagles Lot
was striped last spring, due to the amount of traffic it receives it should be done again this
spring. Last year we had Jack go out and determine in order which lots were most in
need of striping. We had a budget of $2,000 and ended up having the Eagles, Valley
Bank and Mountain Valley done.
Joel suggested that we consider angle parking in the Eagles Lot. Janet expressed concern
over the loss of spaces and large trucks being able to maneuver around the lot. Joel
wanted to at least explore the possibility. Mark will contact Fred Zavodny (Public
Works) to see if it is even an option with the configuration of the lot.
Lot Maintenance
Ron has done our lot maintenance for the past 2 years. Ron provided Roger Nasset with
a proposal at the last meeting. Discussion followed regarding the possibility of the Parks
and Rec Department being able to help out. The Board would like to have something in
place for lot maintenance after the April meeting.
The next meeting will be April 19th
Adiournment:
Adjourned at 8:10 a.m. moved by Joel, second by John. Approved by all Board Members.
Respectfully submitted:
Karen Durado
