service to the community. It was moved and seconded (Blackhurst/Newsom)
to approve the re -appointment, and it passed unanimously.
2. POPULATION PROJECT STUDY CONTRACT WITH HDR.
Administrator Repola stated staff requests to remove this item from
consideration citing the study would be useful during a possible re -write of the
Comprehensive Plan in 2009 or 2010 instead of the planned update this year.
The current update to the Comprehensive Plan will focus on updating Chapter
7 including the data tables in appendix one. This study would also be useful to
determine the demand/capacity of the Mary's Lake facility during phase II.
Trustees agreed to consider this study at a later date.
3. TRANSPORTATION SERVICE CONTRACT WITH MCDONALD TRANSIT
ASSOCIATES, INC.
Administrator Repola provided an overview of the "Shopper Shuttle" that
consisted of 2 routes, downtown and along the Hwy 34 corridor, during the
2006 summer (July 1st — September 4th). A third "Campground" shuttle is
proposed with a route starting at the Visitor Center down Hwy 7, Peakview
Drive, Mary's Lake Road, Hwy 66, Park Visitor Center and returning to the
Board of Trustees — March 27, 2007 — Page 3
Visitor Center via Moraine and Elkhorn Avenue at a cost of $62,694. The 2007
service cost for the original routes is $98,870. The additional cost includes
service during the weekends in September. The 2007 budget contains
$148,870 for contract services and an additional $7,000 for signage and maps,
which would create a $13,694 shortfall that may be funded from contingency or
re -appropriation of funds.
Town Board comments included the consideration of at Mary's Lake Lodge on
the new proposed "Campground" route, consideration of a long term
agreement to fund the program, use of the shuttles by citizens to get to and
from work during the busy season therefore, leaving parking open for visitors,
availability of advertising on the buses, use of the Stanley Fairgrounds for
overflow parking.
Staff is actively pursuing advertisement on the shuttle buses. Ads would be
easily removed from the buses should they be used in the park. Overnight
parking is being addressed by the CVB and Police Departments for hikers
using the park's hiker shuttle.
After further discussion, it was moved and seconded (Newsom/Levine) to
approve the contract with MacDonald Transit Associates for an additional
"Campground" route at a cost of $62,694 partially funded from #101-5600-
456-22-60 and the shortfall from the contingency fund #101-9000-491-60-
01, and it passed unanimously.
