application other than administrative costs (Klaphake,
Anderson, Vavra). Staff confirmed that potential
administrative costs cannot be recovered as funding is being
aimed at actual repairs. The Town may have oversight
responsibilities to ensure the project is completed in
accordance with the yet -to -be received regulations. Should
the State require any "match" funding, such would be provided
by the Hotel, not the Town. It was moved and seconded
(Gillette/Dekker) the Mayor be authorized to issue a Letter of

maintain a record on all time expended on this project, and it
passed unanimously.

Widmer presented said Transition Plan. An ADA Self -Evaluation
Committee, consisting of staff (Bill Linnane, Steve Stamey,

Parrack) and citizen members (Wendy Knudson, Lois Muehlbauer
and Lori Mitchell) prepared the Plan, and it (1) identifies
what structural improvements need to be made to public
facilities, and (2) includes a schedule for completion of the
improvements. Ass't. Administrator Widmer will also act as
the ADA Coordinator. Most of the improvements will be
accomplished in 1993-95. Much more costly renovations
(restroom remodeling, etc. for the Museum, Senior Center, and
