seconded by Mayor Nancolas and passed unanimously.
New Business
1) Franklin Interchange - update by Gordon Law
Presentation to the Idaho Transportation Department was very effective. The interchange
project has been moved up to the design stage! Our commitment is to fund the engineering
cost and acquire necessary right-of-ways. The City will have to front the dollars until our
revenues are adequate to reimburse. The URA budget for 1999/2000 will serve as formal
commitment for reimbursement/obligation to the City. A voluntary LID may be implemented
to help pay for the engineering costs. Dialogue has already been opened with businesses that
will benefit from the project.
2) Board Member roles - ElJay will be defining individual roles. Questions being
addressed right now are: How informed do we become? Do we assign specific areas of
research and education? Do we remain a general board? Do our bylaws need to include
specifics? Do we need articles of incorporation?
3) Canyon County - The County has a question of liability with the issuance of bonds.
Rick Skinner, Ken Harward and Commissioner Lakey are reviewing the issue. The County is
proposing a three way agreement with the URA and the City to hold the County harmless.
The County is also requesting that projects not annexed immediately be approved by the
County. Rick Skinner is drafting the agreement.
Motion to adjourn was made by Gable, seconded by Fouts, passed unanimously.
Meeting adjourned @ 12:47pm.
Respectfully Submitted,
Leona R. Fouts, Secretary
