AGENDA

CITY OF MOSCOW

ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE 

Monday, August 23, 2004
3:00 p.m.

CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS

206 East 3rd Street, Second Floor

1.         Approval of Minutes of August 9, 2004 - Stephanie Kalasz

2.   Bid Award for Comtech/AHA Project - Bill Belknap

A re-bid for construction of the Comtech/AHA building at Alturas Technology
Park took place on August 17, 2004.  Three bids were received and the
apparent low bidder was Waynco Construction Inc. with a base bid of
$1,265,000.  Staff recommends award of the bid to Waynco Construction.

Council Agenda Item #1

      ACTION:  Recommend award of the bid to Waynco Construction Inc. and
authorize the City to enter into a construction contract for the project.

3.   Citizen Survey Council Policy Question Presentation - Bill Belknap

The Administration Department is in the process of preparing the second
Citizen Survey that is scheduled for deployment in mid-October and the final
report will be presented in early January.  As was done for the first survey
in November 2001, the survey instrument will be mailed to 1200 random
recipients providing a 95% confidence interval of +/- 4.5%.  The first
portion of the survey instrument will remain substantially the same as the
first survey to allow for historical data comparison and service level trend
monitoring.  Staff has solicited proposed survey questions from the various
City Commissions and Committees and is now approaching the Council to obtain
guidance as to what policy issues the Council may wish to have staff include
within the survey instrument such as questions related to water conservation
efforts, outdoor lighting, smart growth and public involvement in local
government process. Due to the importance of keeping the survey length
reasonable (between 4-6 pages), the need to retain the previous service
level questions for historical comparison and trend analysis, there will
likely only be sufficient room to add 4-6 additional policy related
questions.

ACTION:  Review policy issues and direct staff.

CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS

206 East 3rd Street, 2nd Floor

1.	Approval of Minutes of August 9, 2004  -  Stephanie Kalasz

2.      Ficca Development Agreement - Dean Weyen

John Ficca is proposing to add an 8 unit, single bedrooms apartment complex
to his 506 N. Jefferson lot located at the northeast corner of Jefferson and
'E'.   Public improvements consisting of curb, sidewalk and one-half of the
street paving along the lot's Jefferson frontage are required.  The proposed
Development Agreement is to allow issuance of a building permit.

ACTION:  Recommend approval of the Agreement as proposed and the Mayor's
signature thereon.

3.      Salisbury Development Agreement - Dean Weyen

The City Council has approved a final plat that covers approximately the
west third of the master plan area of the Southgate Addition Phase 1.  The
final plat, titled Southgate First Addition Subdivision, includes several
phases of development.  In order for the developer to move forward with
implementation of the project, a development agreement is needed to address
construction of public improvements, phasing of such construction, parkland
dedication, street tree contributions and as-built construction drawings.
The attached agreement covers these items.  It includes a section
formalizing the intent to dedicate parkland, which will meet City
requirements not only of this final plat, but of the entire master plan.
The dedication will occur by a separate deed of dedication document.  

ACTION:  Recommend approval of the development agreement.

4.      Salisbury Parkland Dedication - Dwight Curtis

As part of the Salisbury (Southgate) Development Agreement, the parkland
dedication requirement resulted in a 3.72 acre parcel of land to be donated
to the City of Moscow. The parcel is located in the NE corner of the
subdivision and is acceptable property for future park development.  The
dedication meets the parkland requirements not only of the Phase I final
plat, but of the entire master plan and will occur through a deed of
dedication document.

ACTION:  Recommend acceptance the parkland dedication of 3.72 acres in the
designated site of the Salisbury (Southgate) Subdivision and authorization
of staff to complete necessary administrative measures to complete the
transaction.

5.   Proposed Railroad/City Transactions Related to Railroad Right-of-Way -
Randy Fife 

WATCO, the current owner of the active railroad line within City limits, is
proposing a series of real estate transactions which would result in the
City's acquisition of properties for a bicycle / pedestrian path throughout
the City limits, preservation of public crossings of the railroad and other
easements as well as miscellaneous agreements related to City
transportation, recreation, and engineering concerns in exchange for City
divestiture of former ITD property near the South Couplet Project and
support of WATCO's reactivation of a portion of the City's railbanked
property between Perimeter and Line Streets.

ACTION:  Recommend approval of the transactions and authorize the Mayor's
signature on a letter of intent to WATCO to be created after approval.
