[Stephanie Kalasz]

AGENDA

CITY OF MOSCOW

ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE 

Monday, January 28, 2008
3:00 p.m.

CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS

206 East 3rd Street, Second Floor

1.      Approval of Minutes January 14, 2008 - Stephanie Kalasz

 

2.      Gem Community Grant Application for LEDC - Incubator
Improvements - Alisa Stone

Margaret Howlett, Executive Director of the LEDC, has requested the City
of Moscow to sponsor, write, and administer an Idaho Gem Community Grant
to provide funding for improvements for two of the units in the
University of Idaho Business Technology Incubator.  One of the units has
an existing wet lab which needs improvements and another available unit
needs a new wet lab constructed.  Total project costs are estimated at
$40,000 for improvements to both units.  The IGG requires a 20% match
which can be cash or in-kind contributions and a value of up to 5% of
the IGG award may be counted as "in-kind" for grant administration.  The
Grants Coordinator is certified by the Idaho Department of Commerce to
administer an IGG and will provide those services on behalf of the City.
The University of Idaho has committed to providing $9,000 in a
combination of matching funds and in-kind labor for the project.

 

ACTION:  Recommend approval of submitting the Gem Community Grant
application or take such other action deemed appropriate.

 

3.      Safe Routes to School Final Application - Alisa Stone

The Idaho's Safe Routes to School program is part of a national movement
to enable and encourage children to walk or bike to school.  The
proposed FY 2008 SR2S infrastructure request is to connect the sidewalk
and path system on Mountain View Drive. Completion of the sidewalk and
path system will provide safe connectivity from Mountain View and 6th
Street to F Street continuing past the Hamilton-Lowe Aquatics and
Recreation Facility.  In addition to this route, there are several other
residential streets that have been prioritized based on locality to
schools which have been preliminary designed and estimated for future
infrastructure improvements.  The SR2S program does not require a match
but engineering and design are not eligible costs and are provided by
the City Engineering Department as an in-kind contribution to the
project.  The City and the University of Idaho are again partnering on
the FY 2008 with a non-infrastructure funding request which will include
district-wide SR2S education and encouragement activities and programs,
coordination of school site SR2S teams; development and support for SR2S
school site coordinators; coordination of SR2S master planning in the
community and administration of preliminary, median, and post project
evaluations to measure changes in biking and walking perceptions,
behavior, knowledge, and safety.  A "School Travel Plan" will also be
developed by the University.

    

ACTION:  Recommend approval of the Resolution and submittal of a joint
application with the University of Idaho for the Safe Routes to School
FY 2008 funding to the Idaho Transportation Department or take other
such action as deemed appropriate.

AGENDA

CITY OF MOSCOW


PUBLIC WORKS/FINANCE COMMITTEE


Monday, January 28, 2008
4:30 p.m.


CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS


206 East 3rd Street, 2nd Floor 

1.      Approval of Minutes January 14, 2008 - Stephanie Kalasz

 

2.      Moscow Central Lions Park Playground Funding Request - Dwight
Curtis

Staff has received a request from the Moscow Central Lions Club for a
donation in the amount of $2,000 for the Lions Park Playground
Replacement project, Phase II. Lions Park is located on Latah County
Fairgrounds property and the existing new playground equipment requires
a lower-age appropriate component ("tot lot") as part of the overall
project to meet national safety guidelines. The overall cost of the tot
lot addition is estimated at $18,500, of which they are requesting that
the City contribute $2,000. If the Council desires to fund the request,
Staff recommends that it be funded from the Legislative Non-Prioritized
Projects line item.  Staff is supportive of the project based on the
central location of Lions Park and the need for an age-appropriate
component to any playground open to the general public. This is an
excellent example of cooperative partnerships and the gain to the
community far outweighs the funding request.

 

ACTION:  Recommend approval of the request to be funded from the
Legislative Non-Prioritized Projects line item; or deny the request; or
take such other action deemed appropriate.

 

3.      Moscow Chamber of Commerce Quarterly Report - Darrell Keim,
Executive Director, Moscow Chamber

The City budgeted $10,000 for support of the Moscow Chamber of Commerce
in FY2008.  (Line Item 101-140-10-670-24)  The Council has requested
quarterly report from the Executive Director of the Chamber.

 

ACTION:  Accept report.

 

4.      Approval of Quarterly Financial Reports for Sept. 30, 2007 and
Dec. 31, 2007 - Don Palmer

Idaho Code 50-1011 requires that the City Treasurer publish a quarterly
financial report in the official City newspaper.  It has been our
practice to present the quarterly report to the City Council as well.
