b. Brian also informed the committee that we received a quarter mile of
right-of-way along the Lake Lowell Pathway corridor (From YMCA to
Ustick)at Vallivue Middle School.
c. Cindy asked if we purchased helmets. Brian said we did but we only
handed out around 90 at the festival. We had 110 left over,he gave 40
to Love Caldwell and he gave the rest to Alex to store at the VRT station.
Alex stated he would give the helmets to an event at Farmway Village.
B. FACTS Update
a. Paul M stated he has been impressed with the work on moving the path
towards Eagle Island State Park. In 2 weeks,they will meet on goals for
next year.The bridge that was moved during the flood will be put back
in the same spot.They did some fundraising and raised $70,000 to put it
back in place. The other thing that is happening is that he and another
man have been assigned to participate in Rails with Trails project
(COMPASS). This is for the railroad in Nampa to the Depot in Boise.
They are accepting RFP's and hoping to select by the end of January.
C. Indian Creek TAP Grant Update
a. Brian stated this is the 31 1h week of the project. They are still in the
survey phase. At the last meeting,they were having issues with right-
of-way on the north side of Simplot—a small property owned by United
Metals. They were supposed to grant us a 30-foot wide easement along
Indian Creek. For some reason that was never processed;we went back
to them and were successful getting that easement from them. Over
the summer,we had some other issues crop up with Union Pacific. Our
consultant,Joel Grounds,was working with UP and they said we
couldn't put a crossing over their railroad tracks until we remove a
crossing. At the intersection at Centennial,Simplot, Blaine and
Cleveland there are three crossings,there will be a roundabout there in
the near future and that will leave only two crossings.When that
happens we'll go back to Union Pacific and tell them we've removed a
crossing and then we can look at this again. Right now,we have to turn
this into a sidewalk improvement project. At least until we can get rid
of one crossing,then we can reevaluate the TAP plan. There are so
many studies involved it might not be worth it to use grant funds.
D. Sacajawea Safe Routes to School Grant
a. Brian shared design plans with committee members. They started the
project the beginning of October.They hope to have sidewalks in after
Thanksgiving and have the project completed in December. In
addition,they should be within the budget. Brian reviewed the
crosswalk areas with members. They will do striping the beginning of
next year. LTAC has come out with a new round of grants;we are not

eligible because we won last year. However,we can apply again next

E. 2019 Meeting Dates

better. In the future,we will meet the 31d Thursday of the month.
F. FY 2019 Budget Requests
a. Brian stated we haven't spent any money in the last couple years.
b. In 2019 let's plan on Rotary Pond Park and Panther Pride Pathway. We
can work with the school district this winter on the easement and start
next spring.
c. In 2020,we can work on the Lake Lowell Pathway and Drain Pathway
