4.      Idaho Heritage Cities Application - Anne Clapperton 

The Moscow Historic Preservation Commission is applying for Moscow to be
designated as an Idaho Heritage City.  The Idaho Heritage City program
encourages preservation and interpretation of the cultural heritage of
Idaho cities to recognize the efforts undertaken by municipalities to
protect and make available information related to the history of the
community.  Designation is reviewed by representatives of the
Association of Idaho Cities and the Idaho State Historical Society;
awards are presented at the annual meeting of the Association of Idaho
Cities.  Cities granted Idaho Heritage City status receive a plaque for
display in City Hall and two metal signs for display near the city limit
entry locations.  Qualification is based upon meeting at least seven of
14 designated criteria designed to identify the municipality's efforts
to encourage preservation and interpretation of the community's history.
Our application is submitting rationale for qualification in each of the
14 criteria.  Deadline for the application is April 15 of the year in
which consideration is to take place.  The application form is attached;
the drafted criteria rationale will be presented to the Committee at the
meeting.

ACTION:  Accept report and take such action deemed appropriate.

5.      Health & Environment Commission Proposed Resolution Regarding
Sustainable Purchasing Practices (Relative to ESRP Assessment) - Mayor
Chaney

The Health and Environment Commission has discussed and reviewed a
proposed Sustainable Purchasing Resolution. The Commission has forwarded
the proposed Resolution to the Mayor for consideration. The proposal is
being presented to the Committee for discussion.

ACTION:  Discuss Resolution and direct staff as deemed appropriate.

6.      Discussion of Possible Settlement with EPA Region 10 - Randy
Fife

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has informed the City of
numerous violations of the City's National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit between March 2002 and June 2006 which
could result in a maximum fine of approximately $2.5 million.  The EPA
and City of Moscow have been discussing a potential settlement of the
matter.  It is proposed that the City enter into a Consent Agreement and
Final Order (CAFO) with the EPA and that the Mayor be authorized to sign
appropriate documents, should a resolution be reached.

ACTION:  Discuss the matter and authorize the Mayor to sign a negotiated
CAFO or take such other action as deemed appropriate.

7.      Funding Background Checks in Parks and Recreation - Dwight
Curtis

Staff is requesting $4,000 to initiate the program this 2007 spring
season.  Funding could be used from the Council's Legislative Reserve
Account.  Staff was directed to investigate background check options for
those volunteers and staff which work with youth through the parks and
recreation programs.  In support of the proposed program, the City
Council directed staff to draft a resolution for their consideration.
This will be on the City Council agenda on April 16, 2007.  The question
remained on how to fund this new program.  The cost to implement the
program is approximately $4,000 annually or $3.50 per check per person.
After reviewing the present Parks and Recreation Department budget to
possibly absorb the startup costs, staff has determined that the funds
are not there.  The FY08 budget will reflect this program's cost through
contractual services and recovered costs will be reflected through youth
recreational program fees.

ACTION:  Recommend approval of funding approximately $4,000 from the
Legislative Reserve Line Item or take such other action deemed
appropriate.

8.      Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Planning Proposal - Dwight
Curtis/Bill Belknap

An option available to the City as part of the upcoming Comprehensive
Plan project, is adding a component to complete an independent parks and
recreation master plan. The additional cost for this scope of work is
$8,220. Staff is requesting adding this scope of work to the
Comprehensive Plan contract with Kendig-Keast.  Funding ($8,220) would
come from Professional Services, 120-160-30-642-10, where park planning
funding has been allocated for FY07.  $15,000 is presently budged for
park planning for Ball fields and Lola Clyde Park.  Details of the scope
of work to be added to the Kendig-Keast contract are included in the
attached memorandum.

ACTION:  Recommend approval of the proposal; or recommend denial of the
proposal; or take such other action deemed appropriate.

Reports

The Moscow Mayor, City Council and Staff welcome you to tonight's
meeting.  We appreciate and encourage public participation.  For regular
agenda items, an opportunity for public comment is sometimes provided
after the staff report.  However, the formality of procedures varies
with the purpose and subject of the agenda item; therefore, the Mayor
may exercise discretion in deciding when to allow public comment during
the course of the proceedings and limitations will be placed on the time
allowed for comments.  If you plan to address the Council, you will find
a list of "Tips for Addressing the Council" on the table outside the
City Council Chambers.  Thank you for your interest in City government.

1.       Safe Routes to School Grant Resolution - Alisa Stone

SR2S is a Federal funded State reimbursement program managed by the
Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) which supports non-infrastructure
and infrastructure improvements within a two-mile radius of K-8 grade
schools.  The projects and activities in each category are to directly
support increased safety and convenience for elementary and middle
school children to bicycle or walk to school.  The goal of the program
is to improve the health of children and the community by making walking
and bicycling to school safer, routine and more enjoyable.  The City of
Moscow and the University of Idaho have been invited by the ITD to
submit a joint application for $100,000 of infrastructure improvement
and $25,000 for non-infrastructure activities to develop and implement
an education, encouragement, enforcement and evaluation program to
promote walking and bicycling to school.  The Public Works Department is
proposing to install sidewalks on Cleveland Street from the corner of
First and Cleveland to the end where it meets the path across Oylear
field and also the portion of Cleveland between F Street and Public
Avenue where only a partial sidewalk currently exists.  The City of
Moscow will be the fiscal agent for the project.  The application which
is due April 16, 2007, requires a resolution passed by the City Council
which supports the funding and maintenance requirements of the project.

ACTION:  Approve Resolution; or reject Resolution; or take such other
action deemed appropriate.
