JANUARY, 2001 URBAN RENEWAL AGENCY MEETING MINUTES:

JANUARY 18, 2001

1.    ROLL CALL:  Chair Moore called the meeting to order at 1:00 p.m.  Chair Moore and Members Woodruff, Boehme, Peterson, Lehmann, Welch and Church answered the roll.  A quorum was present.  
2.    CITIZEN COMMENTS AND CONCERNS:  None.  
3.    AGENCY MEMBER COMMENTS AND CONCERNS:  None.
4.    MINUTES:  The Agency considered the minutes from the December 7, 2000 meeting minutes.  Member Welch moved to approve the minutes as presented, Member Lehmann seconded, and the motion carried unanimously on a voice vote.
5.    FINANCIAL STATEMENT:  Chair Moore noted that any questions should be directed to Ms. Lawson.
6.    APPROVAL OF BILLS:
    A.    City of Waldport from January 2, 2001:  Member Lehmann moved to approve the invoice, Member Boehme seconded, and the motion carried unanimously on a voice vote.
    B.    Attorney Bills from September through December, 2000:  Member Lehmann moved to approve the invoices, Member Welch seconded, and the motion carried unanimously on a voice vote.
7.    OLD BUSINESS:  None.
8.    NEW BUSINESS:
    A.    Selection of Chair:  Member Welch nominated Member Moore to another two-year term, Member Church seconded the nomination.  Member Lehmann nominated Member Peterson, Member Boehme seconded the nomination.  On a ballot vote, Member Moore received four votes, Member Peterson received three.
    B.    WURA Bond Update:  Mr. Dowsett gave a brief overview of the bond status to-date.  He suggested that the Agency consider extending the life of the Urban Renewal Agency by eliminating the special levy and thereby dispensing with the time limitation and the $3M "cap".  He explained that the special levy only made up the difference of what was lost due to Measures 47 and 50.  Discussion ensued.  Consensus of the Agency was to further discuss this possibility during the budget process.
    C.    Consideration of Bond Resolution:  Member Lehmann moved to approve Resolution 01-01.  Member Welch seconded and the motion carried unanimously on a voice vote.
    D.    Consideration of Signatory Resolution:  Member Lehmann moved to approve Resolution 01-02.  Member Boehme seconded, and the motion carried unanimously on a voice vote.
    An additional item was the water bill at the Waldport Motel.  Evidently, the valve was faulty, and water leaked when the fixtures were removed.  Consensus of the Agency was to ask the City to adjust the bill, as the meter was supposed to have been turned off by Public Works.
    The final item to be addressed was the extension of the Engineer's contract.  Following a brief discussion, Member Lehmann moved to extend the contract with Dyer for an additional year with the same terms.  Member Welch seconded, and the motion carried unanimously on a voice vote.
9.    ADJOURNMENT:  At 1:29 p.m., there being no further business to come before the Agency, Member Lehmann moved to adjourn.  Member Welch seconded, and the motion carried unanimously on a voice vote.

Respectfully submitted,
Reda A. Quinlan
City Clerk
