advertise Phase II in May 17, 24 and 31 newspapers with opening of bids on June 9.
Engineering estimate has been given to David Fine.
DOWL HKM’s Tony Becken-Gaddo spoke to his work towards securing easements. He has
now met with all property owners. Mowing/Maintenance is the recurring concern he is
hearing.
Discussion. Allyson spoke on median installs other than grass. Scott said needs to be part
of our discussion of updating the corridor plan. Allyson reiterated City is not requiring turf
grass. Kevin Jacobsen said install of lights will include sod and turf grass but no
irrigation. Scott suggested we stay the course thru Phase II but not consider the sod as a
permanent feature.
Tony went on to say the development of a business increment district is a forecasted
concern of property owners. Discussion.

Action items – Work plan and Budget for FY 2015-2016
David walked the board thru the documents (see Attachment A). Discussion included his
listing of potential retired projects. Corridor Gateway Project was remembered by Allyson
as a Wendy addition following the Clarion work, i.e. intersections such as Aspen. Andrew
would like for this to remain in the discussion, i.e. infrastructure to make outside vendors
setup easier for future events, etc.
Kevin motioned acceptance of the FY16 work plan and budget with modifications
determined during discussion, directing staff to submit to the Commission for approval.
Carl seconded the motion. All in favor.
Action items – contract with Design Nine for fiber conduit planning & engineering
David walked the board thru the documents (see Attachment B, a portion of the
documents). The proposal for the N7 portion of the installation of conduit system came in
at $77,200, lower than expected $100K. Bill motioned acceptance of the contract; Carl
seconded. All in favor.
Existing projects – TIF consultant
David reported Janet probably on NSURB’s July agenda. Discussion.
Existing projects – update corridor plan/design guidelines for N7th
David said RFQ is out, with N7 listed as 1 of 2 parts of rewrite of UDO code. Should have
bids in a month. Scott said this is a big deal and maybe board needs subcommittee for it.
Austin and Esther want to join Scott for this subcommittee. Scott asked David to set up
meeting with Wendy Thomas before selection from RFQ pool.
Kevin asked the board: what do you envision for the corridor, what do you want N7 to be?
Bring your two sentences to June 4 board meeting.
Existing projects – explore various development incentives – revolving loan, UDO
relaxations, impact fees
Scott asked if board can meet with Anna R on public-private partnership for finances.
