                    Randy Hovland, owner of these two properties - 208 Main Street (APN 110-061-012) and 209 Franklin Alley (APN 110-061-016) - has expressed his desire to sell them to IVCSD for the future Town Center project site. These parcels are immediately adjacent to the former Masonic Lodge site which IVCSD is in the process of accepting as a donation. The parcels are priced at $20,000 (209 Franklin) and $40,000 (208 Main) with a total price for both parcels being $60,000. 

                    It is recommended that the Board authorize the General Manager to negotiate final terms with Mr. Hovland, execute a real property purchase agreement, and cover all closing costs associated with the transaction.

This slice of land is crucial to being able to build a swimming pool at the Town Center site.  

                      It is recommended that the Board authorize the General Manager to negotiate final terms with the Museum, execute a real property purchase agreement, and cover all closing costs associated with the transaction.

                            It is recommended that the Board find and declare that a public works emergency exists at the Calais Lift Station and authorize the General Manager to let a contract(s) to effect emergency repairs, in accordance with Public Contract Code sections 22035 and 22050. 

                            The failure of the Calais Lift Station has caused sewage to begin backing up onto residential lots and is anticipated to get worse with winter precipitation due to infiltration and intrusion (I&I). Costs are anticipated to be within the $50,000 to $60,000 range but may vary depending on what our staff and contractor(s) finds in the repair process.
