Fairgrounds trail update from Ron Dingman and Tim Stefan Ron Dingman reported he is working with the fairgrounds and that the county will run this project. He also noted the city section of this trail will cost $170K to do. Ron went on to explain CTEP match, the missing 13.42%, and why asking NSURB for $15K. This project will not be done this summer but hopefully late next spring, rehashing the trail will be a 10’ asphalt shared-use path from KMart to Rouse along the southside of Oak Street. Jeff asked if would be horse-friendly. Ron replied no, noting Tim has more answers to share with the board. Discussion followed. Mike suggested listing in our FY12 work and budget plan. Phase II Improvements RFP status Dustin reported the $114K proposal will take the project from ‘cradle to grave’. Keri had one question, the desired assessments on a few properties for outreach needs. Kevin with Morrison-Maierle said the assessment request language is in the bid but might need a change to language so clear. Discussion. Susan F made a motion to approve the proposal for Phase II improvements engineering services submitted by Morrison-Maierle, Inc. Michelle seconded the motion. All in favor. N7Rehab applications and presentations Keri reported no new applications have been received. She also reported on the approved applications and where stand with completion, noting all grants have been awarded but two are still in progress. Page 2 of 2 Discussion included possibly adding a time limit to the TAG application language, making a 6-month completion deadline. Keri will add. Brett Potter presented updates on two projects: Frontier Pies location – got a lot of work done with the TAG money; currently at 90% functioning site plan; 30-yr agreement with motel is in the works; has been to staff three or four times for honing. Discussion. UHaul location – business likes proposed landscaping; they are asking for exception for signage and new branding; Brett’s idea is for NSURB to offer doing sidewalk-to-street improvements if the business will do the changes within property; staff says this proposed sidewalk work would be worth the easement received; Brett will chat with business about this possibility; discussion continued, including maintaining momentum of updates to N7, connectivity, etc; if business will do irrigation and easement the board can do grating, prepwork, sidewalk, trees and boulevard; vote needed at July meeting for this participation agreement. Bus Shelter Update Open and continued. FY12 budget Keri is working on document, awaiting final TIF figures, etc, from finance office.

Discussion included keeping demolition and TAG portions in the FY12 budget. Keri will bring document to next board meeting. SILD research status Continues. I-90 bridgework update Keri noted our district plan does not address the bridge. She has chatted with Stephanie Brandenburg, noting federal dollars being used so Taylor’s and Scott’s ideas of bridge beautification, etc, would require the board getting engineering plans in place.
