1.
ROLL CALL:
Chair Moore called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m.
Chair Moore and Members Church, Peterson, Searcey, Lehmann, MacGregor
and Welch answered the roll. A
quorum was present.
2. CITIZEN COMMENTS AND
CONCERNS: None.
3. COMMITTEE COMMENTS
AND CONCERNS: Chair Moore noted a bill and change order
for $23,632.03 from WW Construction had been reviewed by Dyer and Mr.
McClintock. Member Searcey moved
to approve, Member Lehmann seconded and the motion carried
unanimously on a voice vote.
2. DISCUSSION ITEMS:
1.
Economic Development: Ms.
Lehmann moved that an Economic Committee comprised of Mr. Church, Mr. Welch
and herself be formed to look into ideas for economic development,
utilizing the $200,000 that had been set aside by the Agency for
unspecified projects. They
would examine different possibilities and bring back the information to the
Agency for approval. Mr.
MacGregor suggested that the committee work with the Chamber of Commerce and
Ms. Lehmann added that they could also work with the local merchants
development committee if and when it is formed.
Motion carried unanimously on a voice vote.
2.
LID Discussion: Chair
Moore noted that the issue had been discussed in Infrastructure, and the
recommendation that they were going to forward to the City Council was to
hold a intent to form hearing to ascertain interest.
This would involve inviting affected property owners to comment on
the proposal, as a precondition for the actual formation hearing.
The notice would probably include an estimated amount and a comment
section which could be filled out and returned to the City.
Mr. MacGregor suggested that the wording should state "not to
exceed" if the dollar amount was included.
Mr.
MacGregor mentioned that discussion regarding offstreet parking issues had
taken place during the recent Finance and Adminstration Committee.
One suggestion had been to look into purchasing the property
currently owned by ODOT near the intersection of Spring Street and Highway
101, then incorporate that property with the vacated portion of Verbina
Street to utilize for parking for the downtown area.
One possible drawback might be that the left hand turn lane might
need to be reinstated. Mr.
Dowsett mentioned that the property in question may be included in the
proposed stormwater LID, and ODOT could be interested in getting rid of the
property rather than having to
pay the assessment.
3. ADJOURNMENT:
At 5:40 p.m., there
being no further business to come before the Agency, Mr. MacGregor moved
to adjourn, Mr. Moore seconded, and the motion carried
unanimously on a voice vote.
Respectfully submitted,
Reda A. Quinlan
