Gable/Fouts M/S/P
General Discussion: Mr. Dines, Like Nu Car Wash has expressed interest in a possible
property swap for his property on the corner of 10th and Arthur. His insurance company
will pay him for damages on his property and he will be in a position to rebuild. Both the
City and Mr. Dines agree that his current location is not desirable for a car wash due to
Indian Creek and traffic congestion. His property is not in URA boundaries, however we
have the option of purchasing land that is within our boundaries and swapping, or
completing the appropriate steps to re-align the boundaries to include the property. URA
is willing to consider proposals to participate in relocating Mr. Dines’ business.
Mike Gable announced the move of the Caldwell Chamber of Commerce to 704
Blaine, which will occur next week. They will now be located next to CEDC which will
improve the flow of communication and increase the opportunities for teamwork.
Motion to adjourn: Fouts/Beebe M/S/P
Meeting adjourned at 1:15pm.
Respectfully Submitted,
Leona Fouts
Secretary
