SIS-638-005 Organizational Development
September 18-20, 2015
Stephen Ladek
Every organization, whether not for profit, for profit or hybrid, begins with an idea. This idea is translated into a product or service that seeks to solve one or more problems. As the organization experiences success, it will be required to evolve to improve its products or services, respond to market needs and increase its effectiveness. In today's world, this evolution is constant, rapid and affects every aspect of the organization - including its structure, human resources, culture, partnerships, administration and financing. Because of this, managing change is a critical leadership skill whether you are working for a startup, established middle-market player or massive global brand. In this case-based course, the class will use an exceedingly practical hands-on approach to consider how to recognize, survive and lead in the constant churn that is organizational development.
SIS-638-001 Gender Analysis & Development
October 23-25, 2015
Patricia Morris

The course acquaints students with emerging and innovative ideas on market development best practices including the essential principles and core skills behind the design and management of market development interventions to create well-functioning markets. The course exposes students to the wide range of market development strategies, major intervention types and techniques, and tools and practices. A practical emphasis draws lessons from donor and practitioner agencies across the world through case studies and group exercises to illustrate emerging approaches to market development in different contexts (urban, rural, peri-urban, and transitional economies) and types of enterprises targeted (micro, small, and medium scale enterprises) to facilitate learning and enhance the skills and knowledge of students in the design and management of market development interventions.

by Kremer, Chuck
Publisher:Basic Books
Chuck Kremer, Ron Rizzuto, and John F. Case believe "50 percent of small-company owners and managers don't get complete, timely information about their business's financial performance" and "90 percent don't really understand or use the information they do get." Kremer, a business-literacy consultant, Rizzuto, a university finance professor, and Case, a business journalist, further contend that such data and their proper application are critical to the successful operation of any small business. That's why they've assembled Managing by the Numbers as a self-help guide to the ins and outs of corporate finance. In the first section, they show how to decipher three major reports that everyone should review monthly (balance sheet, income statement, cash flow). In the second, they discuss how resultant figures tie in to "three bottom lines of business" (net profit, operating cash flow, return on assets) that can be examined collectively. And in the third, they explain ways that stimuli for each can be optimized to achieve overall business goals. The combination allows you to "translate your financial understanding into better financial performance," the authors conclude. While much of the material may seem intimidating, it is presented clearly and could indeed provide an edge in today's hypercompetitive business environment. --Howard Rothman

Fed to change timing of policy statement
WASHINGTON The Federal Reserve is changing its schedule for issuing policy statements, a shift that will give Chairman Ben Bernanke an opportunity to better control the message it sends to financial markets.
The Fed will now issue a statement at 2 p.m. Eastern time for all eight meetings. Four of those meetings will be followed by a Bernanke news conference at 2:30 p.m.
Prior to the change, nearly two hours passed between when the statement was issued and Bernankes news conference began.
By reducing the time in between, Bernanke can more quickly manage how the statement is interpreted. Investors scrutinize the Feds words for signals of when it might start raising interest rates.
The time changes will go into effect at the Feds next meeting on March 19-20. Many economists believe Fed officials will maintain their low-interest rate policies at current levels but take no new steps at the March meeting.
In January, the Fed stood behind aggressive steps it launched in December to try to reduce unemployment.
It repeated that it would keep its key short-term interest rate at a record low at least until unemployment falls below 6.5 percent. And the Fed said it would keep buying Treasurys and mortgage bonds to help lower borrowing costs and encourage spending.
The unemployment rate fell to a four-year low of 7.7 percent last month, down from 7.9 percent in January when the Fed last met.
Some critics, including some regional Fed bank presidents, have expressed worries that the Feds policies could hasten inflation. But Bernanke has sent signals recently that he plans to continue the Feds aggressive policies until there is a substantial improvement in the job market.
The Fed only started to release brief policy statements after its meetings in 1994.
Before then, markets had to guess at the Feds intentions on interest rates. In 2011, Bernanke went further by holding regular news conferences, a first for a Fed chairman.MORE IN World/National Business

Management Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ weeks. I interviewed at Amazon.com (Seattle, WA).
Three phone interviews. Great correspondence from recruiting team. Fourth round, In-person was also well managed; however, it felt like a beat-down process rather than a true discussion. I have 15+ years experience, and I felt like I was treated like a junior level applicant or recent grad. Let's discuss ideas and if this will work, rather than challenge me and attempt to make me feel small at every turn. This was two of the six in-person interviews. I don't play games, and didn't feel their culture was where I fit. Plus, I had to write a 3-4 page essay after the 3 rounds of phone interviews. Not one person in the in-person day had read my essay prior to meeting. All my prep with ideas and essay was pointless.

I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon.com in August 2015.
HR scheduled phone interview, then missed it. I emailed her back to ask whether she wanted to reschedule and still consider me, she replied after two days and rescheduled it. Then she missed the interview again. It is really not professional, this HR is wasting my time. I think she changed her mind after sending out the first email or something happened. I am surprised that this kind of thing can happen in Amazon.

Manager InterviewNo OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon.com.
Contacted by recruiter about a week after applying online and set up a phone interview for the following week. Interview was fairly standard... asked me to walk through resume, described the role in more detail, asked basic interview questions. Be sure to discuss how your skills and background fit into their leadership principles. The interviewer specifically said, "the fact that you already landed an interview means we think you're smart and can do the job. I'm more interested in whether your leadership style fits with us." He also mentioned that for the Manager level and above they look for "Bar Raisers" meaning that every new hire needs to raise the bar for that role across the organization. They are looking for people who can come in on day 1 and perform better than 50% of the people already doing that job. It's a solid measurement tool for an organization that's growing at such a rapid pace, but it also means that you may take a lower title than where you are now based on how you rank.

The interviewers were impersonal, matter-of-fact and kept cranking away on their keyboards stopping only to ask questions. Lot of the questions were behavioural and they attempted to dig into my preparation material on Amazon and if I had studied the links provided by the recruiter.

Courses Outside BU Law
LL.M. in American Law students must obtain permission from John Riccardi, Assistant Dean for Graduate and International Programs, to register for all non-Law School courses at Boston University except Physical Education courses.
After obtaining approval from Dean Riccardi, students should confer with Cara Hebard, ALP Program Coordinator, about the registration procedure. Each school within BU handles course registration differently, so the registration process will vary depending on the school at which you wish to take a class.
Courses taken at another school in the University must be graduate level courses (level 500 or greater) to receive law credit. Credit from non-Law School courses put towards the American Law degree is limited to three credits per course and to one course per semester, unless otherwise permitted by the director. Credit is further limited to a maximum of six credits for the entire year; and, in all instances, to courses which further the educational objectives of the Program.
The Law School can grant credit only for the number of contact hours per week provided by the course in question, regardless of how much credit the other school may grant for the course. For example, if the course meets for two hours per week, the School of Law will grant it only two credit hours, even if the other school grants the course three or more credits. (Fifty minutes is considered one contact hour.)

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.

This paper investigates the development of relative clauses in the speech of one German-speaking child aged 2 ; 0 to 5 ; 0. The earliest relative clauses we found in the data occur in topicalization constructions that are only a little different from simple sentences: they contain a single proposition, express the actor prior to other participants, assert new information and often occur with main-clause word order. In the course of the development, more complex relative constructions emerge, in which the relative clause is embedded in a fully-fledged main clause. We argue that German relative clauses develop in an incremental fashion from simple non-embedded sentences that gradually evolve into complex sentence constructions.

For a lass that can shoot a gun, ride a horse and write songs while driving a tractor, Fanny Lumsden is the genuine article. With her impeccable voice and timeless skill for songwriting, Fanny and the Thrillseekers deliver a 'kick-arse country hoedown' that combines pure country twang and folk-fuelled shuffles while embracing pop and grounding them in traditional musical terrain. The songs mix sass and honesty and draw from family life in rural Australia and a typical 90s aussie upbringing. The performance, well its just plain ole fun.
With an ability to appeal to all ages and demographics 2014 has seen the Fanny and the boys play all over Australia from Tasmania to Darwin taking her stories and charm with her. A highlight being their completely self produced and managed, Third Annual Country Halls tour through the Riverina which saw many communities gathering for hundreds of Kms for a nights of live music. Thanks to a wildly successful Pozible campaign Fanny and the Thrillseekers are currently in the studio with highly acclaimed producer Matt Fell, cutting their debut album which has been named in the Au review's 15 most aniticpated albums of 2015.

"Fanny Lumsden is one of those personalities for whom the phrase 'born entertainer' was created. Boundless energy, a warm and endearingly funny stage persona and a stellar voice are what made her set so appealing. Her band of country/folk players The Thrillseekers played a critical role in presenting Lumsden's songs, making her the real deal and bound for bigger things."
The Music/Post to Wire/The Drum Media (Nov 2012)
"The Autumn Lawn EP perfectly captures the engaging essence of the wonderful Fanny Lumsden and her Thrillseekers. From the whimsical, to the wistful, to the goddamn raucous, her foot-stomping country tunes are like a hoedown in your ears. Irresistible stuff."
Bobby Townsend, Something you Said (Sep 2012)
Fanny is one of Sydney's best kept secrets... well, until now. With an impeccable voice, an ever improving knack at writing marketable tunes - but still with a whole heap of heart - she is one artist you want to make sure you catch sooner rather than later.
Larry Heath, AU Review (Aug 2012)
"Fanny is more than a cheeky smile, sparkly cowboy shirt and a dazzling voice. Her heart warming, toe-tapping, gun-slinging country music raised the roof of The Old Fitz at this years Home Brew Festival!"
Phil Spencer (Home Brew Festival Director)
Fanny Lumsden's big voice is reminiscent of Dolly Parton and definitely more than carries the boisterous songs from her repertoire. '

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama said on Thursday he has authorized air strikes against Islamist militants in Iraq to protect American personnel and launched humanitarian assistance to prevent a genocide of members of a religious minority who have fled their homes.
The president, in remarks carried live over network television, said he has begun operations to assist Iraqis stranded on a mountain to escape the advancing forces of the Islamist State, which have swept across northern Iraq in recent weeks.
"When we face a situation like we do on that mountain, with innocent people facing the prospect of violence on a horrific scale, when we have a mandate to help in this case a request from the Iraqi government, and when we have the unique capabilities to help avert a massacre, then I believe the United States of America cannot turn a blind eye," Obama said.
"We can act carefully and responsibly to prevent a potential act of genocide," he said.
Obama said he had authorized the U.S. military to take targeted strikes against militants if they advanced toward the Kurdish capital of Arbil or threatened Americans anywhere in the country.
"We intend to stay vigilant and take action if these terrorist forces threaten our personnel or facilities anywhere in Iraq, including our consulate in Arbil and our embassy in Baghdad." he said.
The Islamic State's Sunni militants, an offshoot of al Qaeda, have come within a 30 minute drive of Arbil and inflicted a humiliating defeat on Kurdish forces over the weekend, prompting tens of thousands from the ancient Yazidi community to flee the town of Sinjar for surrounding mountains.
Any air strikes would represent the first combat action by the United States in Iraq since it ended eight years of war in 2011. Earlier this year the United States sent a small number of military advisers to help the Iraqi government address the threat of the Islamic militant offensive.
Near the White House earlier in the day, some 80 people protested for hours on behalf of the Yazidis, shaking U.S. flags, chanting slogans and holding up signs condemning what they called a holocaust of Christian communities in Iraq and Syria by the Islamic State.
Obama said any U.S. operations would be limited, and pledged not to allow the United States to be dragged into another war in Iraq.
"Even as we support Iraqis as they take the fight to these terrorists, American combat troops will not be returning to fight in Iraq," he said. "The only lasting solution is reconciliation among Iraqi communities and stronger Iraqi security forces."
The Defense Department said it had dropped 72 bundles of food and water to the Iraqis fleeing the militants.
The Islamist fighters, who have killed many thousands and declared a caliphate in the Iraqi area they conquered, are now threatening Kurdistan, a region previously considered a bastion of stability in a country ravaged by conflict.

The city of Coeur d'Alene's Arts Commission is planning to select the winner beginning next week. The winning piece will be located at the Third Street entrance of the park. The city posted "a call for artists" on an Internet site called "CAFE," or www.callforentry.org. Steve Anthony, city recreation director, said the website generated more than 120 submittals/Shawn Gust, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.

A Sneak Preview At New McEuen
On his Facebook page, SR photog buddy Jesse Tinsley posts: "Here's a stitched-together panorama of McEuen Park in Coeur d'Alene, showing the ongoing work in the drizzly October weather. The downtown Coeur d'Alene park will one day be a show place with playgrounds, sport courts, a splash pad, green spaces and parking. But getting around the construction in Coeur d'Alene is a headache." (Click on photo for better view)
DFO: Looks like a whole lotta additional green space/park to me.
Question: Will an open house on McEuen Field, scheduled for Oct. 12, have an impact on the mayor/City Council election?

City Reopens 3rd Street Launch
LCDC spokesman Keith Erickson emails: "As anticipated, the popular Third Street boat launch re-opened on Tuesday. The launch, the most heavily used boater facility on Lake Coeur d'Alene, closed last June as part of the McEuen Park renovations currently under way. Though open now to the public, there will be intermittent closures in the weeks to some as crews continue work on the park upgrades. Those closures will be minimal, most lasting only an hour or so. A prolonged closure of a day is anticipated when paving occurs in the area of the launch, said Phil Boyd of Welch Comer Engineers. There will be public notification prior to that closure. Meantime, city officials reiterated that there are no plans to permanently close the boat launch."
Question (for all but the diehard critics): Did you survive the closure of the 3rd Street dock, Front Avenue & McEuen Field in good shape?
Comment Sought On McEuen Art
Here's the chance for those of you who squawked at the decision by the Arts Commission to approve a piece of public art for the Fourth Street entrance to the new McEuen Field that proved controversial. The city of Coeur d'Alene is seeking input from the public re: proposed pieces of public art for the Third Street entrance to the new and improved park. You can see models of the pieces and comment on them at the Coeur d'Alene Public Library.
Orzell Seeks Total Cost On McEuen
During the Coeur d'Alene City Council meeting Tuesday, City Hall critic Frank Orzell raised questions re: the McEuen Field project. You can read Orzell's concerns in the draft minutes of City Clerk Renata McLeod's report below:
Frank Orzell, Coeur d'Alene, stated that he wanted to know when the taxpayers would be told the total cost for McEuen, which he believes is $23 million. He believes that any costs of city employees related to the project should also be added in to the total. Mr. Tymesen stated that the document presented by Mr. Orzell at $23 million does not add up and that he will know the final costs after the completion of the project. Mr. Orzell stated that he believes the project was supposed to increase in green space and from the pictures presented tonight he believes there is a subtraction of green space and he would like a breakdown of the totals. More here.
Question: Has anyone been down to McEuen Field to view the progress of the makeover?
McEuen Project On Schedule
The McEuen Park project is on track according to the engineers who gave an update to the Four County Natural Resource Committee on Wednesday. Phil Boyd and Dell Hatch from Welch Comer Engineers spent an hour updating the group on progress and changes that have been made over the life of the project. The most recent change was the removal of the sundial on the promenade portion of the project. Instead, Hatch told the group the $51,000 that was going to be spent on that project is now being used to install heavier electrical infrastructure to support major events at the park. "They did fall a little behind on dry utilities," Boyd said. "But they should be able to make that up." Overall, they said the project is on schedule to have all of the hardscape aspects finished by mid-November — leaving most of the landscaping until spring/Jeff Selle, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.

Council OKs Downtown Street Change
Item: Part of Third St. to be two-way: Cd'A City Council votes 4-3 to approve change/Tom Hasslinger, Coeur d'Alene Press
More Info: Downtown Coeur d'Alene driving will be dramatically different next spring. A lot to do with downtown will be different next spring when the $20 million McEuen Park reconstruction project wraps up, but two-way traffic will be incorporated into the finished project. The Coeur d'Alene City Council narrowly agreed 4 to 3 Tuesday to turn the one-way Third Street into a two-way street from Front to Lakeside avenues. The change is designed to ease vehicle congestion as a result of turning Front Avenue into a limited-traffic and pedestrian-friendly zone between Second and Third streets - a decision the City Council agreed to by a 5-1 vote in January.
Question: Do you feel that this significant downtown street change flew under the radar?
Deanna Explains McEuen Art Pick
Councilwoman Deanna Goodlander (re: McEuen Field archway contract awarded): a selection panel is defined by the Public Art Policy. It consists of 3 arts professionals, two of whom must be artists, a citizen, a city councilmember, the landscape architect, engineer, professional involved in the project and the Mayor can appoint another citizen. There were 194 entries from around the country, the panel narrowed it down to about 30 and then down to 4. These four were paid a stipend to produce a macquete (model) and those were put on display at the library for citizen comments. Then the panel met and chose the finalist. the four were all excellent, but I love this one because it is transparent. You can see Tubbs and the Lake through the wires. The others were more prominent. The Arts Commission decided to do a nationwide call to get more variety for McEuen. There were submissions by locals, but they did not make the cut. There are two more major pieces to go and they are in process now. One at third and Front and one down near Tubbs Hill. The Tubbs one is supposed to be interactive.
Question: Are you get more/less/same excited about new McEuen Field, as details like this come into view?
McEuen Field Work Continues
McEuen Update provides construction status for Sherman Avenue work and ongoing reconstruction at McEuen Park/Front Avenue today: "Harbor House construction has begun with the pouring of concrete for the foundation. The stem walls will be poured next week. Third Street improvements are well under way and on schedule. Curb, sidewalk and approach work starts today, June 7. Crushed rock will be applied to the road surface beginning Monday in preparation for paving. (McEuen Update photo)
Question: Have you ventured downtown to check out construction work?
Tunnel For Underground Garage?
At least one downtown property owner is asking permission for its own access point into the Front Avenue parking garage tied to a redeveloped McEuen Park. Blackridge Properties LLC. wants to construct a pedestrian tunnel into the parking garage from the property it owns, 401 Front Ave., where the Bank of America building sits. The company would pay for the tunnel, and it would make for easier connection into the $20 million redeveloped McEuen Park and the garage, it says. "There's no reason to have the tunnel, (but) we thought it would be a worthwhile investment for potential future interconnections as well as convenience of the users," said Chris Meyer, of Blackridge Properties. The company is seeking an easement from the city to allow access. The General Services Committee isn't recommending the idea, which is headed to the City Council for a decision at 6 p.m. Tuesday/Tom Hasslinger, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here. (Coeur d'Alene Press photo: Workers construct underground parking garage at McEuen Field)
Question: Good idea or bad idea?
LCDC: Parking Garage Ready Nov. 19
The latest newsletter of the Lake City Development Corp. includes an update on the $20M McEuen Field expansion, a tribute to the late Jim Elder, preliminary thoughts re: reconstruction of the Four Corners (NW Blvd/Garden Avenue) area; and a profile of board Chairman Dave Patzer. The newsletter reports the new McEuen Field parking structure should be ready by Nov. 19:
Hundreds of cubic tons of dirt are currently being excavated from the northwest edge of McEuen Park to make way for the new parking structure, which will increase parking spaces at the parking area from 595 to 702. Team McEuen spokesman Phil Boyd, an engineer with Welch-Comer Engineers, said the parking structure is expected to be open by November 19. Meantime, the contractor, the city, and engineers are working closely to inform the public on street closures, brief utility interruptions, and other construction-related issues that may impact the public. You can read the rest of the story & the latest newsletter here. (Duane Rasmussen photo of McEuen Field reconstruction)
Looking For Parking In All The Places
From Lake City Development Corporation board meeting minutes from Wednesday:
Also during its regular monthly board meeting, Coeur d'Alene Downtown Association Manager Terry Cooper reported that a parking plan is in place to alleviate inconveniences imposed by the McEuen Park upgrade project. A free shuttle bus service from the Memorial Field area to the downtown is under evaluation, and other downtown lots managed by Diamond Parking will be open for public parking to accommodate for lost parking during construction. Cooper said notices will be provided to downtown business owners and visitors.
Question: Can anyone imagine the downtown parking mess we're going to have this summer?
Breaking! Freedom Tree Has Fallen
Duane Rasmussen reports from shoreline that downtown Coeur d'Alene that workers didn't wait until 10 o'clock to level the Freedom Tree at McEuen Field. It's down. He's going to try to get a photograph from the top of the Coeur d'Alene Resort garage for us. Stay tuned.
Freedom Tree Coming Down Friday
From Parks Director Doug Eastwood: "We met with Team McEuen and Contractors Northwest this morning. One of the agenda items was the contractors construction schedule. The Freedom Tree is scheduled to be removed this Friday (at about 10 a.m.). The entire park area, including Front Street, will be closed for construction by the end of the day today. The contractor will leave an opening on Fourth and Front Street all day Thursday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. for anyone that would like to take a photo of the Freedom Tree before it is removed. The contractor will salvage approximately 40 feet of the trunk of the tree and transfer the trunk to the Parks Department for future use. Attached are ideas that we have received from people throughout the community on how we might use the wood from the Freedom Tree. Also attached is a historical overview of the tree by Scott Reed, Scott and others planted the tree around 1962. The Freedom Tree is a Norwegian Spruce and it will be replaced with another Norwegian Spruce in the vicinity of the new Veterans Memorial. The new Freedom Tree will be approximately 30 feet in height when it is planted."
Question: Are you interested in taking a photo with the Freedom Tree before it comes down?
City Budgets $20.2M For McEuen
This design was pulled from the city of Coeur d'Alene's McEuen Field page, which offers a detailed design of the different amenities in the project.
While Contractors Northwest Inc. will begin construction on the McEuen Field project this week after landing the $14.8 million bid, the city of Coeur d'Alene has budgeted the project to cost $20.2 million when all is said and done. The $20 million figure includes every expected expense for the project over two fiscal years, including savings the city is setting aside as contingency costs, design contracts and architectural and engineering fees. What accounts for the roughly $5.4 million difference between the reserved cash and winning contract bid? The city has slotted around $1 million to pay for equipment for the park. Splash pad equipment, park benches, garbage cans and the like aren't the contractor's responsibility, but the city's. The $1.9 million contract with the park's designers, Team McEuen, is included in that total, as is the $1.2 million contract for the east end parking lot work that has already been completed/Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
McEuen Field Resumes Starts Monday

McEuen Field: $4.2M More
The city of Coeur d'Alene wants to add previously removed amenities to the McEuen Park plan, and is asking its urban renewal agency to fund the additions.The City Council agreed Wednesday night to move forward with a project plan that now includes tennis and basketball courts, as well as an expanded pavilion and other perks that weren't a part of the project design a few weeks ago. The council, as it has on almost all McEuen Field matters over the last year, split on the matter, and Mayor Sandi Bloem broke the deadlock by voting in favor of the enhanced version of the plan. "The headline this morning was absolutely right," Bloem said, referring to the Press headline in Wednesday's paper about the park options before the council. "'What park do you want?'" The decision means the next step is to officially ask Lake City Development Corp., the urban renewal agency and main financial supporter of the park project, to contribute up to $4.2 million more/Tom Hasslinger, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
Question: Which McEuen Field did you want?
McEuen: Fall Work About To Conclude
From Keith Erickson, spokesman for Lake City Development Corp:
Work on the 2012 McEuen Park project will wrap up by mid-November with crews expected to pave the southern entrance to the new City Hall parking lot at 8th Street and Young Avenue early next week. Both new City Hall lots will be open to the public by Nov. 16, although finishing touches on the parking areas may impose minor inconveniences over the next several weeks. The upgraded parking lots will accommodate 186 vehicles and 26 boat trailer spots. Crews are hoping to hydroseed the parking lot islands this fall. Next spring, 43 trees and 235 bushes will be planted within those areas. Meantime, gravel has been laid on the new trail along the base of Tubbs Hill. Soggy fall conditions have postponed paving until next spring. Though work will soon be shutting down for the season, crews plan to install light poles in the City Hall lots and construct a retaining wall along Young Avenue west of 8th Street over the winter. Construction will resume next spring and focus on redevelopment of the park. (Remember: You can see up-to-date photos of McEuen Field work by clicking on LCDC tile in upper lefthand rail of Huckleberries)
Question: What is your impression of initial work on McEuen Field upgrade?
McEuen: City Hall Lot To Be Paved
From LCSC spokesman Keith Erickson: Paving of the new East Lot near City Hall and the reconstructed lot in the same area will begin next Thursday. Work will take about three days, officials said Wednesday morning during a weekly McEuen project update. Base rock will be put down today and tomorrow. Construction will ultimately increase parking in the City Hall vicinity from 65 spaces to 187 and offer 23 boat trailer parking spaces. Meantime, there will temporary delays to traffic at 8th Street and Bancroft Avenue Thursday while crews perform asphalt patch work. Work continues on schedule, engineer Phil Boyd said Wednesday.
Crews Remove City Hall Parking Lot
Spokesman Keith Erickson for Lake City Development Corporation reports on latest development in McEuen Field upgrade:
As expected, crews today finished removal of asphalt from the City Hall parking lot and will soon begin hauling in base rock for that lot, as well as the new East Lot under construction adjacent to City Hall. Meantime, Team McEuen engineer Phil Boyd said Friday that when complete, the McEuen Park upgrade will include parking for 45 boat trailers; 23 in the new East Lot, 19 in the parking facility and three handicapped spots near the launch. The project remains on schedule and Boyd does not anticipate looming rain to hamper efforts.

McEuen: City Hall Lot Work To Begin
McEuen Construction Parking Plan (in green area) from November to March 2013 (493 total car space, 34 total boat spaces)
From Lake City Development Corp. spokesman Keith Erickson: Earthwork on the Third Street parking lot is complete, with the removal of 25,000 cubic yards of soil (lowering the level by 12 feet). The dirt was hauled eastward to what will become the new parking lot south of City Hall. Demolition of the present City Hall parking lot will begin today or tomorrow. Work there will create 14 new parking spaces and improve lighting and landscaping. Officials plan to keep the city utility payment drop box at the new location on 8th street, adjacent to City Hall. Meantime, officials continue to evaluate temporary parking plans to accommodate motorists during construction (see conceptual drawing). Authorities are working with local businesses and the Coeur d'Alene Downtown Association to ensure adequate parking alternatives are provided. "Work is on schedule and we have enjoyed very suitable working conditions so far," said Phil Boyd of Welch-Comer Engineers.
New McEuen Dog Park Total: $67K
How much is that doggie park in the window? Around $67,000, actually. Undaunted by the sum, the Kootenai County Dog Park Association is optimistic it can have the funds secured in time to build a dog park at the base of Tubbs Hill at the east end of McEuen Field when the downtown park project is constructed next year. "It's a little more than we spent on the last two," said Bob MacDonald, KCDPA chairman, calling the design "a little bit classier" than the other dog parks in town. "It's going to be unique because it's going to be the downtown dog park." It will be more expensive than the other two parks because it will use better materials for the state-of-the-art design, he said/Tom Hasslinger, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here. (SR file photo of former Kootenai County Commissioner Bob Macdonald and his dog, Jake, at are dog park)
Question: Do you want a state-of-the-are dog park included in McEuen Field upgrade plans?
Dudley: Trailer Slots Mar New McEuen
Dudley Do-Right (re: 183 new trees, dog park for McEuen Park): The part that really chaps my hide is the discovery that the lower level parking lot edge has been pushed 65 feet out into the park for the sole purpose of accomodating the boat launch parking closer to the current launch location. The financial consequences are that over $500,000 of cost premium has been added to the project. So we're losing green space and increasing the park costs just to accomodate 22 of the 48 boat parking spaces a few hundred feet closer to the launch. I've walked or driven past this park almost daily for years now and I seldom see the boat parking spaces fully utilized on a regular basis, and if so, only during the summertime. During the other 9 months of the year the boat parking sits empty. It would be a shame to see the loss of valuable acres of green space that could be used year-round in our new four-season park to accomodate the infrequent boat launch users in the summer time. Full comment here.
DFO: I agree with Dudley Do-Right. The compromise to mar the new McEuen Field by allowing some boat-trailer parking along what is now Front Avenue is a bad one. It won't satisfy detractors. So why not do the park right and put all boat-trailer parking behind City Hall.
Question: Should the Coeur d'Alene City Council put all boat-trailer parking behind City Hall?
Legion Field Should Be Ready In 2013
From spokesman Keith Erickson of the Lake City Development Corp:
Crews involved in the 2012 McEuen Park upgrades have so far hauled away an estimated 25,000 cubic yards of dirt (the equivalent of 2,500 dump truck loads) from the Third Street parking lot. Another 3,000 yard of soil is due to be scraped from the site, lowering the former parking lot by as much as 12 feet. The dirt is being transported eastward to what will become the new East City Hall parking lot. Paving there is expected to occur on schedule November 2. The final four light poles at the McEuen ball field will be removed next week. Officials waited to remove the last poles until nesting osprey moved on, which they have. Meantime, development of the new American Legion field at the southwest end of Ramsey Park continues with lighting expected to be installed by the end of the month. City Parks Director Doug Eastwood says he expects the field to be ready for play by next season, which starts in June 2013. (SR file photo)
McEuen Project Employs 125

In her draft minutes of the Coeur d'Alene City Council meeting Tuesday, Assistant City Clerk Renata McLeod reports:
"Tina Johnson, 601 E. Front Avenue: Was concerned about a quote from a Councilmember that the money is going toward a park when it could go toward creating jobs. Ms. Johnson contacted the contractor and found that they have approximately 125 people involved in project, providing continued and new employment opportunities. Additionally, local supplies are being purchased for this project. She thanked Councilman McEvers, Councilman Kennedy, and the Mayor for owning and employing local workers. Councilman Goodlander stated that she would have loved to be at groundbreaking but had a family commitment to attend that day."

Question: Anyone check out work at McEuen Field lately?
McEuen Field Work Ahead Of Schedule
Lake City Development Corporation spokesman Keith Erickson provides this update on McEuen Field work:
Beautiful early autumn weather and good soil conditions have combined to put crews ahead of schedule on the first stage of the McEuen Park upgrade. Crews are currently excavating soil from the Third Street parking lot and hauling it to a site south of City Hall, where a new lot will provide parking for 179 vehicles and 23 boat/vehicle slots. "We're slightly ahead of schedule," Welch-Comer Engineers President Phillip Boyd said Tuesday afternoon. Soil taken from the "borrow site" at the Third Street lot is "sufficiently compactable," expediting construction of the City Hall parking lot, Boyd said. Meantime, the City Hall parking lot off 8th Street is closed, but the utility drop box in that area is still accessible on the east side of 8th Street. While the good weather holds out, crews are working 10-hour shifts six days a week. Look for regular updates on the city's blog site.
