F.1. Action Item – Streetscape easements and negotiated settlements
Tony Gaddo with DOWL joined the table to give update on easement procurements.
Currently working up 2-year temporary easements for construction. Quonset is quite close
to a finished easement. Have 21 completed with three hold outs that matter.
Administrative settlements the next option.
Discussion. Tony will work on these and bring back if, when actually moving forward.
Andrew motioned to direct staff to negotiate administrative settlements; Kevin seconded.
All in favor.
F.2. Action Item – Oak at N7 intersection improvements project/task order 4
David reported traffic lanes are failing, not holding the flow for those turning north from
the east side of Oak onto northbound N7 lanes. This work just needs to be on an
improvement plan within the next three years and can be solved by painting lines. David
noted it would be a great thing for the board to do as is ~$30K and miscellaneous budget
monies can be used for it. Kevin motioned to authorize staff to use miscellaneous monies
for redesign following Task Order #4 (see Attachment A). Andrew seconded. All in favor.
F.3. Action Item – Midtown Action Plan and next steps
Scott confirmed the plan passed 5-0 at the city commission meeting with no questions
asked. Scott wants to know what happens next - is it shelved or will the plan be put out
there for property owners to find, allowing everyone to easily find all of the knowns that
need mitigating for redevelopment? He went on to note it would be a boon to have shovel-
ready project plans ready.
Discussion. Scott motioned to direct staff to prioritize projects noted within the action
plan, bringing them back to the board for approval; Kevin seconded. All in favor.

G. FYI/Discussion – Streetscape project update
Kevin Jacobsen joined the table and reported plans will go out to bid in the next two weeks
and have two bidders interested for this RSVP/Tom’s Floor redevelopment section. Kevin
wanted to doublecheck with the board to make certain the materials suggested in this
project match the board’s vision. Went back to visuals from December 2016 meeting of
pavers, trees that were approved (See Attachment B). Kevin went on to say has a 3”
diameter tree on the bid, too, noting there will be six trees in this section.
Scott said he saw these items in the bid documents and raised a flag that not the same as
things board approved years ago when selected lightpoles, bike racks, benches, etc (see
Attachment C, November 2009 minutes). Turns out such hardware will not be involved
but wanted to identify color pallet of pavers board wants to see in district. Discussion.
Kevin went on to say he forecasts $200k as the high side of this project. Discussion
continued.
Adjournment
Scott adjourned at 5:36pm.
