Staff Accountant Phethean said he received the estimated cost of $75,000 to complete the parking lot
project. The estimate is a rough estimate. Grounds Keeper McFarland questioned the purpose of the island
of grass in the parking lot. He is thinking of making the island a raised landscape block because there have
been issues with patrons parking on the grass island.
Discussion regarding the Teton Lakes parking lot. The section Grounds Keeper McFarland mentioned is
highlighted in green. Staff Accountant Phethean said city staff will obtain three bids for the parking lot
project. Board Chairman Wright asked to have the paving under the deck as a separate bid item in case it is
not feasible to have the section under the deck paved. Currently, under the deck there is road base; however,
it has become muddy due to the melting snow. Board Member Sorensen suggested other material be used
under the deck if asphalt or concrete is too expensive.
c. Discuss canal access work to occur and timeline
i. County to do-Update from Justin Beard
Staff Accountant Phethean said the Canal Company is ok with the city using two six-inch boards to raise
the water this year; however, the employee who completes the work needs to contact Lee Munns. City Staff
needs to pull out the rock that is already in the canal. Bill Blair, the Street Department Supervisor, will bring
equipment to remove the rock. There are complaints of grass clippings falling into the canal causing clogs in
the pipe downstream. Board Member Wright clarified the boards are being used as a canal weir.

Lakes because it can not be replaced in sections like the lines at Legacy. Accountant Phethean said money
can be set aside in the Capital Improvement Fund.
Discussion regarding the amount of funds Grounds Keeper McFarland is spending on irrigation repairs.
Accountant Phethean mentioned adding security cameras at Teton Lakes. Board Member Sorensen said

priority should be to have flushable toilets; however, it would be nice to have a concrete pad to place the
port-a potties.
