City Council approves Laidlaw Design for children's garden project and sublease agreement

Snow storage concerns and a new design contract took center stage at the McCall City Council meeting on March 27, 2025. Council members discussed the impact of upcoming design changes on snow management at the city campus, emphasizing the importance of accommodating snow removal in the final design plans. The council aims to ensure that snow from sidewalks can be effectively managed without damaging the new infrastructure.

In a significant move, the council approved the selection of Laidlaw Design Company to lead the design of the library children's garden project. This decision allows city staff to prepare contracts for presentation in April 2025, marking a step forward in enhancing community resources.

Additionally, the council reviewed a revised sublease agreement for the bunkhouse at the Central Idaho Historical Museum. This adjustment allows the museum to generate revenue by leasing out seasonal accommodations, which will support operational costs. The council's approval of this sublease reflects ongoing efforts to revitalize the museum site and ensure it meets community needs.

These discussions highlight the council's commitment to thoughtful urban planning and resource management, with anticipated outcomes aimed at improving city services and facilities for residents and visitors alike.
