received bids that came back to high. It was estimated at $25,000 with 1 bid at $85,000. Eagle Island State
Park connection was discussed with the attorney and they have decided to deed the property instead of giving
the City of Eagle an easement. Steve Noyes recently met with the BLM and stated they have 1800 acres and
the City of Eagle has an MOU for future development. An immediate need is with the illegal recreational
shooting and to improve the entry on Hartley Rd.
Vice Chairman Stirrat asked with regard to the project currently being discussed with improving the roads,
who would be paying for this expense. Steve Noyes stated that the City of Eagle will be asking BLM to fund
that project.
Vice Chairman Stirrat expressed concern for the mixture of horses and shooting and suggests when
development occurs to separate the areas. Steve Noyes stated that when the development begins, the shooting
area will be removed entirely.
Commissioner Bann asked if the City of Eagle is placing signs on BLM land stating no shooting. Steve Noyes
stated yes, the City of Eagle is placing signs with approval from the BLM.
Commissioner Minch stated that if biking south on the pathway of the Pipeline Trail and coming up to Mace
Rd., there is a tight turn and ditch and would like to request some warning signs be placed in that area. Steve
Noyes will assess the area and see what can be done.
Commissioner Baun inquired about the RC Cars at the Eagle Bike Park and the funding to complete the park.
Steve Noyes stated he currently has a project with HECO Engineering to design ADA access to the drivers
tower and will be sent out for bids this winter.
Commissioner Heilman asked with shooting near the Hartley access area, will the facilities for shooting be
limited to signage of where you can and cannot shoot or will there be a shooting range. Steve Noyes stated
that the BLM is not in favor of having a shooting range.
