COMMITTEES Capital Improvements - Commissioner Ericson reported that the 9' by approximately 60' walkway installed by Paula Laing and located next to Macdonald's Book Shop was not constructed to the standards of the plaza area. Since this is an Urban Renewal Authority easement, the walkway should be upgraded to an acceptable walking surface. Approximate cost for complete reconstruction is $3,500.00, using 2 x 2 pavers, as opposed to a partial reconstruction cost of $2,300.00, using the existing pavers. Commissioner Ericson suggested that Director Anderson obtain a price from Heath Construction, ascertaining the exact cost for complete reconstruction of the walkway and suggest to the contractor that the stones be laid straight, rather than diagonal. It was moved and seconded (Ericson-Pauley) that, contingent upon Director Anderson's cost findings, EPURA construct a new walkway, using the same pattern as the plaza area sidewalk, at an approximate cost of $3,500.00. Motion carried. There being no further business and hearing no objection, the meeting adjourned to executive session to discuss property acquisition. A walk-through of the river corridor construction site is scheduled following the executive session. Donna Heifner, Recording Secretary
