The Committee reviewed a memorandum dated February 19, 1988 submitted by Executive Director Anderson. Redesign of the Boyd Building has been a major item in EPURA's negotiations with the developer, Wagner Enterprises. The east wall of the building is almost directly upon the east property line. The Board of Adjustment -sr-iH- -be corrsideing a variance addressing the east %44J4:wall setback. Adjacent to the east wall is a 60'-wide right-of-way for East Riverside Drive; a 6' sidewalk exists in this right-of-way. EPURA will widen the sidewalk to 8' and the developer desires roof overhang on the east wall and a brick facade which will encroach into the right-of-way. EPURA suggest- ed the Town vacate a 3'-wide strip of land along the building to allow the 2'10" overhang and the 4" brick facade wall encroach- ment. The developer or EPURA would rededicate to the Town, a perpetual easement for pedestrian and right-of-way uses. Town Attorney White advised the Town had two options: (1) vacate the right-of-way or (2) grant a revocable license to EPURA or the developer to use the strip of land. Attorney White expressed liability concerns with regard to private use occurring on public Town property. Discussion followed concerning height limitations for architectural projections, and remuneration for the strip of land. The Committee recommends approval of a vacation easement for a maximum of 3'', with the developer rededicating the easement to the Town. The developer must also conform to the Municipal Code pertaining to vertical height limitations. EPURA - REQUEST TOWN ASSISTANCE IN DEMOLITION OF "ARCADE" BUILD- ING. Public Works Director Widmer advised EPURA has requested assis- tance in demolishing the "arcade" building. The Town participat- ed in a similar project in 1987 when the former "Radio Shack" building was removed. Director Widmer advised EPURA would be responsible for the dump fees and the Town would incur all labor charges (approximately $2,000). Following discussion, the Committee recommends approval of EPURA's request that the Town participate in the demolition of the arcade building.

The renovation does not include the exterior of the building. The Committee recommends staff be authorized to act as the general contractor for the East Riverside Restroom Renovation Project. DUMP/SNOWPLOW AND PAINT MACHINE - REQUEST AUTHORIZATION TO SEEK BIDS. Also budgeted in 1988, was the purchase of a 2-Ton Dump/Snowplow and paint machine. A 1978 Ford snowplow will be used as a trade-in vehicle. The Committee recommends Director Widmer be authorized to obtain bids on the equipment, returning to the Committee for further review. 1988 PARK BUDGET - REVIEW OF POTENTIAL MODIFICATIONS AND REQUEST AUTHORIZATION TO SEEK BIDS ON VEHICLE. 1988 Park Budget. The Committee reviewed a memorandum dated February 12, 1988 concerning possible revisions to the 1988 Park Budget submitted by Director Widmer. Based upon 3 permanent and 10 seasonal workers, $108,500 was budgeted for staff salaries. The requirement for 4 of these workers was based upon EPURA's mandate for 12-hour, 7-day coverage of Confluence Park. By reducing maintenance to 10-hour, 7-day coverage, seasonal workers could be reduced to 6, using 38 man -months in lieu of 60, result- ing in a decrease in the staff salary account to $89,200. Vehicle. The 1988 Budget included the purchase of 2 "trucksters." In reviewing park equipment, the purchase of one Daihatsu lift bed vehicle appears to be much more versatile. Director Widmer requested authorization to seek bids for the lift bed vehicle. The Town will invoice EPURA for all labor spent on Confluence Park by the Public Works Department. The proposed Park Budget revision would impact the revenue recovered from EPURA and the net savings to EPURA and the Town would be $19,288. The Commit- tee recommends approval of the revision to the 1988 Park Budget and recommends Director Widmer be authorized to solicit bids for the budgeted parks equipment, returning to the Committee for further review. MANAGEMENT SEMINAR - REQUEST AUTHORIZATION TO CONDUCT ONE -DAY SEMINAR. Last April, the Public Works Department conducted a "team -building" seminar for its management team. The expenditure of $772 was used for the conference facilities, supplies, and facilitator. The department would like to conduct a similar one -day session this spring, which would focus on specific management skills. Following discussion, the Committee recom- mends Director Widmer be authorized to conduct the one -day seminar for an estimated expenditure of $750. REPORTS. The Committee reviewed the Customer Service Response Report for January. Snowplowing to date is 32% higher than the same time last year. One residential building permit was issued during the month of January. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
