3.      Windfall Hills Development Agreement - Kevin Lilly

Mike Hoffman (as Windfall Hills L.L.C.) has submitted to the City a
final plat for the development of his property on Mountain View Road.
The City Council has approved a preliminary plat for this property.  The
final plat is titled the Windfall Hills Addition to the City of Moscow
and may include several phases of development.  In order for the
developer to move forward with the 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-constructed drawings.  The attached Agreement
covers these items and references the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
between the City, Mike Hoffman, and Mark Wintz, which addresses
completion of the bicycle/pedestrian pathway, the extension of Janson
Street and the relocation of a Verizon fiber optic pedestal.  The
Development Agreement specifies that the public improvements for each
phase of the Windfall Hills Addition will be constructed within nine
months of the issuance of the first building permit within that phase.
This time frame will allow for winter construction of structures with
completion of public works improvements during the summer months.

ACTION:  Recommend approval of the Development Agreement or take such
other action deemed appropriate.

4.      Mountain View Road Improvements Design Services Contract - Kevin
Lilly

As part of the efforts to fulfill the City Council goal of completing
the sidewalk system along Mountain View Road, in May the City Council
approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that addresses the
installation of sidewalks along the Mike Hoffman property (Windfall
Hills Subdivision) and the Rafik Itani property.  During the MOU
discussions, staff presented a proposal to Council to shift the scope of
the 2008 Mountain View Improvements project to the area between F Street
and 6th Street.  The project limits will be the west side of Mountain
View Road from 6th Street north to Paradise Creek and the east side from
6th Street to the south line of Rolling Hills Subdivision.  This work,
along with the work to be done in conjunction with the Windfall Hills
Development, will complete the needed pedestrian and roadway
improvements along Mountain View Road from 6th Street to F Street.  With
additional funding identified, the Council supported this proposal.  In
order to facilitate the design of the project in a limited time frame,
Staff began negotiating a scope of work and cost with Hodge and
Associates to perform the engineering design services.  A draft of the
scope of work is included for reference.  A final scope of work and the
design services contract will be ready for consideration by the Council
at the June 16th meeting.

ACTION:  Recommend approval of the contract or take such other action
deemed appropriate.

5.      Kappler Right-of-Way Deed of Dedication Acceptance - Dean Weyen

Chris Kappler, Chris's Appliance owner, is dedicating a fifty square
foot parcel of his property at the southwest corner of 'D' and Main to
allow a better design configuration of the new concrete intersection
that ITD is scheduled to construct there in 2009.  Such dedications must
be recognized and accepted by the City.

ACTION:  Recommend approval of the right-of-way deed of dedication
acceptance or take such other action deemed appropriate.

6.      Walgreen's Easement Vacation - Dean Weyen

Moscow Main, LLC is developing a Walgreen's at 414 N. Main Street.  The
City's existing sanitary sewer main has been moved by the developer to
avoid the new building's footprint.  The developer is requesting that
the twenty-foot wide public utility easement on the abandoned sewer main
be vacated.  This would vacate a portion of the public utility easement
created by Ordinance 1158.  A new public utility easement has been
dedicated for the new sewer line location.  A public hearing is
scheduled for City Council's June 16 meeting on this matter.

ACTION:  Accept report in anticipation of the Public Hearing to be held
at the June 16, 2008 Council meeting.

7.      Downtown Multimodal Parking Work Plan - Les MacDonald

As a culmination of their efforts in assessing the Downtown Parking
situation, the Transportation Commission developed a series of
recommendations for consideration by the City Council.  As discussed
during the Transportation Commission presentation to the City Council on
this matter, a work plan is being developed to address the tasks
necessary to implement the Commission recommendations and whether these
tasks are best undertaken by Staff and/or a new Advisory Committee.  A
copy of the Transportation Commission report is attached for reference
together with a draft of the Downtown Parking Work Plan.  Reviewed by
the Public Works/Finance Committee on May 12, 2008 and referred back to
the Public Works/Finance Committee by the Council on June 2, 2008.

ACTION:  Discuss the draft Downtown Parking Working Plan.  

1.   Assess if the Council would like to determine which recommendations
should be pursued and, if so, identify them for further action, OR

2.   Determine that the Council would like further briefings and
additional information on the individual recommendations so that the
Council can select which recommendations to pursue at a later date.

8.      John Dickinson Trail Station - Mayor Chaney

The Latah Trail Foundation, Paradise Path Task Force and friends of late
former City Councilmember John Dickinson have worked together to create
the proposed John Dickinson Trail Station.  The station would serve as a
memorial to John Dickinson.  At the December 10, 2007 Public
Works/Finance meeting, it was requested that the group present the
information again to include fundraising plans and costs before it was
forwarded to City Council.  Since that time plans have been made
regarding fundraising the Buy Local Moscow group in cooperation with the
Latah Trail Foundation.  The event is scheduled for July 26, 2008 in the
NRS-East parking lot, adjacent to the section of trail that is being
proposed for the trail station.  Several opportunities for City
participation are requested: formalizing the Council's authorization for
this project on City right-of-way; authorizing a waiver of permitting
costs; and to request the Council make a donation to the project from
its discretionary funds as a gesture to recognize a well-respected
formal Council Member.

ACTION:  Review request and provide direction to staff or take such
other action deemed appropriate.
