IV. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Front Street Lighting Project
Planning Manager Don Burt explained that the decorative lights for the South end of
Front Street (Hwy 99) have been ordered by the City. The Development Commission will
reimburse the city next year so that it will not affect the budget this year. We should be
able to get the project done for $120,000 without doing an amendment to the budget this
year.
This was an informational item only, no action was requested.
V. BUSINESS
A. Resolution No. 2015-01, Award of Contract for Gebhard Road Route
Analysis
Mr. Burt explained that on December 19, 2014 the City received six responses to the
Gebhard Road Alignment Analysis Request for Qualifications. Staff interviewed JRH
Transportation Engineers and Adkins Engineering These were the two most qualified
out of the responses that were received.

The project budget is $25,000 and both proposals were over $40,000 which is well over
the budgeted amount. During the interviews the scope of the project was discussed in
more detail and it was agreed by both firms that the proposed costs could be reduced.
Reductions in cost would be based primarily on the City's increased participation in the
public review process, which staff is able to do.
Based strictly on qualifications staff recommends awarding the contract to JRH
Transportation Engineers. The city has had experience with JRH in the past and had
good expenence with their planning of East Pine Street area study and the 2008
Transportation System Plan. With the approval of the Development Commission staff will
prepare a contract with a revised scope of work and enter into an agreement with JRH in
an amount not to exceed $30,000.
Once approved staff will begin the public review process and schedule the first meeting
for February 11, 2015 with the stake holders in the area. There was discussion of who
the stake holders will be and what the process will look like. Gebhard Road will service a
large area in our Urban Reserve Area. We do not plan to use eminent domain or build
roads for this project. We will only be determining a preferred route option for future
development of the property along East Pine.
Bruce Dingier moved to approve Resolution No. 2015-01, Award of Contract for
Gebhard Road Route Analysis. Mike Quilty seconded. Roll Call: Mayor Williams, yes;
Allen Broderick, yes; Bruce Dingier, yes; Rick Samuelson, yes; Brandon Thueson, yes;
and Mike Quilty, yes. Motion approved.
