Resolution to Award Contract to Design Studios West, Inc. for the
Design and Construction Drawings for Improvement on the Football
Field Parking Lot. - It was moved and seconded (Moss-Ericson) that
Resolution No. 38 be adopted, subject to two corrections in the
contract:
1) Page 4, item E should read — $115,000, including a
construction contingency of $13,000.
2) Page 8, section 8 should read — Either party may terminate
this Agreement, upon one day's verbal notice (confirmed by written
notice) without cause.
Those voting "Yes" — Commissioners Phares, Moss, Pohl, Ericson,
Frantz, Hill and Pauley. Those voting "No" — none. Motion carried.
Resolution adopted.
Presentation of Master Plan for Streetscape 3. - Commissioner Hill
recommended that this matter be tabled indefinitely. Hill stated
that the Urban Renewal Authority Board should firm up the SID for
off-street parking and, if and when it becomes legally adopted, the
URA should then pursue Streetscape 3 and Confluence Park.
Commissioner Pauley asked what this would do to EPURA's schedule in
terms of a Spring startup for construction. Director Anderson stated
it would be difficult to begin construction in the Spring of 1986,
regardless of the decision made today — that a Fall 1986
construction startup is more likely and it has been determined that
beginning construction in the Fall of the year may be more
advantageous than in the Spring.
It was moved and seconded (Hill—Frantz) that the Master Plan for
Streetscape 3 be tabled indefinitely. Those voting "Yes" —
Commissioners Phares, Pohl, Ericson, Frantz, Hill and Pauley. Those
voting "No" — Commissioner Moss. Motion carried.
Presentation of Master Plan for River Corridor. — Commissioner
Hill again stated that the SID should be more firmly in place before
EPURA pursues riverfront design. Also, that the Town has been doing
river design work in the past and, at present. Hill also feels that
EPURA has a responsibility to the taxpayer's to issue RFP's on
design, as well as other studies.
It was moved and seconded (Pohl-Moss) to defer the Master Plan for
the River Corridor until the Board's next regularly scheduled
meeting on August 7, 1985. Those voting "Yes" Commissioners
Phares, Moss, Pohl, Ericson, Frantz, Hill and Pauley. Those voting
"No" — none.
Commissioner Moss informed the Board that her "no" vote regarding
Streetscape 3 had to do with the motion not including a definite
time period for tabling. Also, in answer to Commissioner Hill s
comment regarding EPURA's responsibility to taxpayer's. Moss
reminded the Board that Attorney Windholz had informed the imA that
studies (such as design) made by this Board need not be subjected to
RFP's — only construction. Commissioner Hill then stated that it is
Town policy to seek bids for all studies, including design.

Commissioner Moss stated that she is hopeful the Board will be able
to proceed with the River Corridor Master Plan at their August 7th
meeting.
Chairman Phares indicated that the Board is eager to continue the
Streetscape in order to tie-in the downtown with Stanley Village and
that this matter will not get "lost in the shuffle".
Chairman Phares noted the death of former Mayor Harry Tregent and
that a memorial service will be held this afternoon at 2:00 p.m. in
the Community Church of the Rockies.
Commissioner Ericson informed the Board that he had met with Bill
VanHorn regarding the intersection at Hwy 34/36 and related work on
the triangles in that area. Ericson suggested that the Town meet
with the Highway Department regarding this area, particularly from a
safety aspect, and Chairman Phares directed Ericson to follow up on
this matter with the appropriate parties.
Chairman Phares called for an Executive Session on property
acquisition and, there being no opposition from the Board, the
meeting adjourned to Executive Session.
