COMMITTEES

of the July 7, 1986 Development Committee be accepted into the
record. Motion carried.
Circulation - Director Anderson reported that Staff contacted the
Town Public Works Department regarding striping of the power plant
lot. The Town is unable to do the work at this time and Staff
requests authorization to obtain bids. Since scheduling of this work
may not allow enough time for use of the lot this season, the Board
directed Staff to contact the Bureau of Reclamation to determine
whether this item is anticipated as part of the signed agreement.

that the minutes of the July 15, 1986 Capital Improvements Committee
be accepted into the record. Motion carried.

2) Include an item stating that, upon written request from the
Contractor, 30% of the estimated total will be paid to the
Contractor, by EPURA, for start-up costs.
Motion carried. Resolution adopted.
Public Hearinq/Development Plan for Welcome Center - Chairman Phares
declared the public hearing open. Staff submitted a report dated
July 14, 1986 and explained a DSW drawing of the proposed welcome
center. Staff believes that this welcome center is the highest and
best use of the property. Commissioner Hill distributed copies of a
memo dated July 15, 1986 from Director of Public Works Richard
Widmer to Town Administrator Dale Hill re: EPURA Welcome Center
Conceptual Design, wherein several items were addressed.
Administrator Hill stated concern by the Public Works Department re:
increased landscaping maintenance and costs thereof, due to the
present financial picture of the general fund. Administrator Hill
also stated that the Town Trustees first choice for the library
location is the Husky station site. Therefore, no action should be
taken on development at that site.
Chairman Phares declared the public hearing closed. It was moved and
seconded (Frantz-Moss) that the URA Board find the Welcome Center
Development Plan in compliance with the URA Plan. Motion carried.
In further discussion regarding the Welcome Center location, the
Board, based on the Town Trustees' concerns, decided no further
action be taken to implement design of this area until the site
selection process for the new library building is completed.
Director Anderson pointed out that this action may delay
construction until next Spring.
STAFF
Per Director Anderson's memo of July 14 to the Board re: compost, it
was moved and seconded (Moss-Frantz) that EPURA purchase
approximately 200 yards of compost from Stanley Park at a cost of
$2,600.00 (to be stored at Stanley Park until needed) for use in
Streetscape 3 landscaping. Motion carried.
Per Director Anderson's memo of July 14 to the Board re: street
trees, it was moved and seconded (Moss-Hill) that Staff, Town and
Design Studios West personnel be authorized to examine trees and if
acceptable, to tag the trees for purchase in the Spring of 1987 for
use in Streetscape 3. Staff is directed to inform the Board should
cost of the trees exceed a "reasonable" amount.
Motion carried.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned to Executive
Session to discuss property acquisition.
