and Recreation Commission and staff are requesting approval to enter into a
very special essay contest. Several leading playground manufacturers in
conjunction with the Center for Boundless Playgrounds are sponsoring a
nation-wide essay contest. The winner of the contest will win a Boundless
playground valued at approximately $300,000. Boundless playgrounds are based
on the concept of accessibility and usability for any ability. The essay must
be submitted by November 30, 2006. Finalists will be notified in January 2007
with the notification of the winner in April 2007. Construction is to be
completed no later than December 31, 2007. The proposed location of the
playground would be <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Ghormley</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">Park</st1:PlaceType> – <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName

Subsequently, the City began providing notice of lot divisions in a manner more
consistent with notice for public hearings and began working on amendmen<st1:PersonName

subdivisions. Various draf<st1:PersonName w:st="on">ts</st1:PersonName> of

Commission, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council. The last
draft of the proposal was presented to the Administrative Committee on May 8,
2006, at which time the Committee asked for additional information in the form
of a comparison table of the current regulations versus the draft regulations.
Staff is now presenting the most recent version of the draft including the
requested comparison table. Staff would like to advertise the current version
or a closely related version of the draft to the local development community and
have an informal public input session in front of the Planning and Zoning
Commission prior to scheduling the necessary public hearings for formal

program is to have a certified grant administrator secured for the project.
Staff conducted the small purchase direct solicitation RFP process in
accordance with the RCBG program requirements. Requests for proposals were
sent to three certified grant administrators located within our region.
Responses were received from Walter M. Steed and Associates and the Clearwater
Economic Development Association. After the selection of the successful
respondent, staff will negotiate the contract terms and bring forward an
administration contract for the Council’s approval. The LEDC has secured

The total cost of construction is estimated at approximately $377,000 with
additional funds for contingency, engineering design and construction
management, and grant administration which totals $500,000.00. It is
anticipated that there is sufficient in-kind match available from the
City’s existing fiber network investment and the upcoming ITS project
construction and that no direct financial match will be required. LEDC is

held the final community meeting to unveil recommendations and strategies
relating to the NewCities initiative which began in spring of 2005 and
officially kicked off in September 2005. During a series of community
interviews and input sessions, the NewCities Foundation identified three major
areas of focus for City government and the community. Those areas are: 1.
Improve communication between citizens and government; 2. Improve economic
development; and 3. Improve the community planning process. At the August 22
meeting, Steve Austin and Tom Prather of NewCities reviewed draft
recommendations and strategies for meeting these challenges, citing improvement
in communication over the past several months, with more improvements to come;
the establishment of a Knowledge Corridor initiative for economic development
intended to capitalize on the assets of the regional community, including
Washington State University and University of Idaho; and proposing a program
for the revision of the City of Moscow Comprehensive Plan. Staff will discuss
the status of these strategies and request Committee direction. Please bring
your reports of "Draft Recommendations and Strategies for NewCity
Moscow" which was distributed prior to the August 22 meeting. If you need

items, an opportunity for public comment is sometimes provided after the staff

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

This concept was presented to both the Administrative and Public Works Finance
Committee’s on August 28<sup>th</sup> during which staff was directed to
pursue the development of a grant application for this project. As staff
advised the Committee’s, circumstances require that such an application
must be submitted and postmarked by no later then September 18<sup>th</sup>,
2006 for consideration in the October award cycle. One requirement of the RCBG
program is to have a certified grant administrator secured for the project.
Staff conducted the small purchase direct solicitation RFP process in accordance
with the RCBG program requirements. Requests for proposals were sent to three
certified grant administrators located within our region. Responses were
received from Walter M. Steed and Associates and the Clearwater Economic
Development Association. After the selection of the successful respondent,
staff will negotiate the contract terms and bring forward an administration
contract for the Council’s approval. The LEDC has secured the services
of a grant writer and has committed to cover any expenses incurred for the
preparation of the grant application which is anticipated to be approximately
$3,500.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

network design and cost estimate for the proposed project which are attached.
The total cost of construction is estimated at approximately $377,000 with
additional funds for contingency, engineering design and construction
management, and grant administration which totals $500,000.00. It is
anticipated that there is sufficient in-kind match available from the
City’s existing fiber network investment and the upcoming ITS project
construction and that no direct financial match will be required. LEDC is
currently preparing a draft grant application which will be presented to the
Committee at the meeting for their consideration.<b><span style='font-weight:

Avista fiber, the completion of the East-Side Project, the upcoming ITS project

within the fiber network that could be made available for lease. Staff would
like to develop a policy for the utilization of this excess capacity to define
allowable uses and to ensure that all parties are treated equally. Staff has
drafted a proposed fiber use policy for the Council’s consideration.
The provisions of the fiber use policy are consistent with what is included
within the one existing fiber lease agreement with Cactus Computers. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
