MOTION. Boardmember Piccolo moved that the minutes of the March 14, 2001 meeting be approved as written. Motion seconded by Boardmember Wheeler and carried.



DeLynn Fielding, representing Carbon County Economic Development, reported that his agency will receive a grant in the amount of $25,000 from the Federal Economic Development Agency in Denver. The money will be used to form a County Redevelopment/Economic Development Agency. One of the areas considered is Airport Road. As Airport Road begins in Price City and has industrial/commercial activities in both the county and city limits, he felt it would be logical for Price City Redevelopment to expand and cover the Airport Road as an Economic Development Area. If the Agency is interested, an intergovernmental agreement can be prepared to administer this arrangement and the grant funds could be used to cover the agreement and the various expenses involved in setting up the Airport Road EDA. MOTION. Boardmember Piccolo moved that the Agency issue a letter of intent to Mr. Fielding indicating the Agency's support on this request. Motion seconded by Boardmember Wheeler and carried.

Gary Sonntag reported that the committee appointed to review the bid received for the

400 West Park Construction has rejected the bid and is recommending that the project be re-bid. The bid was significantly higher than the architect's estimate. The bid documents will be revised by adding in the area lighting and postponing the restroom, fountain, sign and tree landscaping.


MOTION. Boardmember Piccolo moved that the meeting adjourn and that the Council Meeting reconvene. Motion seconded by Boardmember Denison and carried.


Meeting adjourned at 6:11 p.m.

APPROVED:
