CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
There being no citizen participation, President Fuller proceeded to Action Items.
ACTION ITEMS
ITEM NO. 1 — Consider and Act Upon Approval of the February 26, 2007 Minutes of the
WEDC Board of Directors Meeting.
MOTION: A motion was made by Mitch Herzog and seconded by Gary Bartow to approve
the February 26, 2007 Minutes of the WEDC Board of Directors Meeting. The
WEDC Board voted 3 —FOR and 0—AGAINST in favor of the motion.
ITEM NO. 2 — Consider and Act Upon Issues Surrounding paving improvements to Martinez
Lane.
After reviewing the final construction estimates provided by Tri-Con for the reconstruction of
Martinez Lane, staff requested an alternate design following a preconstruction meeting with Holland
Hitch. Staff believes that the best alternative for paving the roadway fronting Holland Hitch is to use a
high early concrete which cures in 12 hours opposed to 72 hours. Utilizing a high early mix, Tri-Con
can shut down Martinez fronting Holland on Friday evening, remove the existing paving, and
complete the repaving by Sunday night. The only other remote possibility would be to shut down one
lane at a time fronting Holland which would severely restrict Holland truck traffic ingress and egress.
Also required to complete the improvements in one weekend, Tri-Con will have to substitute two
inches of concrete for the lime and sub grade stabilization. The lime is not an option under these time
constraints because it must sit for two days prior to pouring. As shown on Alternate 1, 8 inch high
early concrete paving for the area fronting Holland has a cost of$119,850. The WEDC will however

receive a credit for 6 inch paving and the lime in the amount of$96,849 resulting in an increased cost
to the WEDC in the amount of$23,001. After meeting with Tri-Con and Holland, staff believes this is
the only alternative available to the WEDC should Holland's operations be a motivation factor.
Randy Helmberger of Helmberger Associates, Inc. attended the meeting to answer any questions that
the Board had about the added cost of the project. After discussing the issue of how to have the least
impact on Holland Hitch during the construction of Martinez Lane the Board decided that the
additional cost of $23,001 would be justified, since the greatest concern is to have the section of
Martinez fronting Holland closed for the least amount of time.
MOTION: A motion was made by Gary Bartow and seconded by Mitch Herzog to approve
the Alternate 1 in the amount of $23,001 to the paving contract between the
WEDC and Tri-Con Services. The WEDC Board voted 3 — FOR and 0 —
AGAINST in favor of the motion.
