Roll call was taken and a quorum declared present. The minutes of August 23, 2010 were approved as distributed (Bermingham/Starn). Res. 10-19 Award Partial Bid to Radtke Contractors for Marion Road Riverwalk Improvements, East Leg Mr. Davis stated the Common Council approved funding to complete the east leg of the Marion Road riverwalk project -that portion adjacent to The Rivers elderly housing project. The RDA is being asked to approve Alternates 2 and 3 in the amount of $745,440.90 for this East Leg of the riverwalk. Mr. Davis noted that Council will be asked to approve the balance ofthe funding for the riverwalk and the docks as part ofthe 2011 Capital Capital Improvement Program. Mr. Bermingham inquired if any of the docks wil1 be leased? Mr. Davis replied no. The RDA has been awarded a $325,000 Waterways Commission grant for the docks and a condition of the grant is that the docks must be transient for life. Oshkosh River Development had been contacted and indicated they could not see the benefit of paying for construction of any of the docks when the housing project is for the elderly on fixed incomes. Mr. Esslinger inquired as to the cost of the docks? Mr. Davis replied approximately $1.4 million. He noted the docks will benefit the entire community by drawing boaters to the downtown area. Mr. Belter inquired if the RDA had to accept the grant? Mr. Davis did not believe it would be in the RDA's best interest to refuse a grant that wil1 offset construction costs. Also, the City is interested in applying for additional funds from the Waterways Commission for the City Center area. Utilizing the Marion Road grant funds could give the City an advantage in obtaining additional grant funds. The City also applied for a DOT Transportation Enhancement grant for the docks and riverwalk at City Center. The DOT grants will be awarded later this year. Motion by Bermingham to move Res. 10-19.

Mr. Davis noted he has programmed 2012 CIP funds to complete the Marion Road docks, complete the City Center area improvements, construct both the Steiger Park and Jeld-Wen area riverwalks, and preliminary design work on the reconstruction of W. 9th Avenue, east of Main Street, to extend east to cross the railroad tracks at Pioneer Drive. He also noted some future potential projects for 2013, 2014 and 2015. Mr. Davis noted there are several approved plans for the South Shore Redevelopment Area, most being 5+ years old. A lot has changed over the years and it may be a good idea to revisit these plans. What is the RDA's thoughts on creating an Advisory Committee comprised of property owners, business owners, developers and staff to provide input to the RDA on implementing and/or updating these plans? It was the consensus to proceed with an Advisory Committee. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at approximately 4:42 pm (Starn/Hintz).
