Others Present: Bill Nary, Jaycee Holman, Bruce Chatterton, Sonya Watters, Kyle Radek, John Overton, Mark Niemeyer, Perry Palmer, David Jones, Mike Barton, Robert Simison and Dean Willis. Item 1: Roll -call Attendance: Roll call. X David Zaremba X Joe Borton X Charlie Rountree X Keith Bird Genesis Milam _X_ Lucas Cavener Mayor Tammy de Weerd Rountree: Good evening. I'm going to open the Tuesday, July 7th, meeting of the Meridian City Council. Welcome all of you to the meeting. Glad to have you and hope you enjoy the air conditioning. It's a lot nicer in here than it is outside. I will start this evening with roll call. Madam Clerk. Item 2: Pledge of Allegiance Rountree: If you would all rise and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance (Pledge of Allegiance recited.) Item 3: Community Invocation by Larry Woodard with Ten Mile Christian Church Rountree: Next, if you would, join us in the community invocation. We will be led this evening by Larry Woodard from the Ten Mile Christian Church. Larry, welcome this evening. Glad you're here. Woodard: Always a pleasure. What did you do, run off the female side of this Council? Rountree: Really, I hadn't thought about that, but you must be right. Woodard: Let's pray. Our Dear Heavenly Father, you have blessed this Council and its Mayor with wisdom and leadership skills and it's reflected in our beautiful and safe city. Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 2 of 43 As we celebrated our nation's independence a few days ago, it also reminded us of our dependence on you. I pray tonight that you continue to keep us safe, especially our children. Tonight I also want to pray for those who work for the city, who come each day to fulfill tasks that no one else can do, from answering questions about legal forms, to reviewing plans, to questions about policing or fire safety. I thank you for the clerks who have children at home and come every day to do their jobs. Keep them and their families safe. Tonight I pray for the items on the agenda. To a casual visitor they may not look like much, but to some it may reflect their life's goals. I pray for sound,judgment as plans are reviewed. The city is also doing budgeting and I pray that they will ponder the best allocation of funds. On the Fourth of July my family and I observed more fireworks driving home after the city fireworks at the race track than we had seen in our over 20 years in Meridian. It was beautiful, but we wondered if the people of our city was in effect saying we are Americans and we are proud of it. Our beliefs that have carried us this far will not be taken from us. Our forefathers on July 4th, 1776, stepped out on a balcony and watched fireworks when they declared themselves free from Great Britain and I sense that same independent streak is alive and well in Meridian. I pray that we will safeguard -- that you will safeguard our emergency personnel. I cannot imagine a wife or a husband sending their spouse out each day to be the first on the scene of a crime, a wreck, or a fire. May they be comforted when they hug and say goodbye each day. We are blessed with a city that is led by this Council and how well they work together. I pray that this common respect for one another continues. The face of our city is changing. With more apartments and fewer single family homes, help us as a people to adjust to this fundamental change in our city. Lord, strengthen us when we feel weak and give us resolve when are uncertain in our thinking, in Jesus' name, amen. Rountree: Thank you, Larry. Woodard: You bet.

Who is going to address that? Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 8 of 43 Nary: Mr. President, I will. Rountree: Okay. Nary: Mr. President, I wanted to just make sure it was clarified on the record -- on the development agreement for the Hill Properties, the Century Farms school, when you heard this -- when you heard the public testimony we were talking about a portion of the property and the -- and we wanted to make sure it was clarified as to the -- the acreage that's listed in both the ordinance, as well as the development agreement. A portion of that property that's in the current agreement was previously annexed part of the first annexation that was done with the Hills Century Farm. We have requested that the applicant now do a development agreement modification to the original one to make sure we move that acreage from the development agreement one to the current one. So, we wanted to just make sure it was clear on the record -- felt in reading through them it appears that the -- or the property -- acreage that are listed are inconsistent, but it's the reasons that we will get that cleaned up with the other property. We didn't want to hold up this project by waiting for the modification. They have already began the process to do that modification to get that completed, but we wanted to make sure on the record that -- why there was some disparities or differences in the acreage amounts that were listed. So, it was just a clarification. We wanted to make sure he was aware. If I missed anything Ms. Watters could add to it, but I think our -- we just wanted to make sure it was clear to everyone. Rountree: Okay. Sonya, do you have anything in addition to add? Any questions? Bird: I have none. Mr. President. Rountree: Mr. Bird. Bird: When -- I do have one for Bill. We can do the DA and the RZ at the same time, can't we, to approve it? Nary: Yes. Yes. Bird: I move that we approve AZ 15-004 and RZ 15-007. Borton: Second. Rountree: It's been moved and seconded to approve Item 7-Q. Roll call vote. Roll Call: Rountree, yea; Bird, yea; Zaremba, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, absent; Cavener, yea. MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES.

Public Hearing: CUP 15-009 Stonesthrow Subdivision by Steve Arnold Located Approximately 1/4 Mile South of E. Fairview Avenue on the West Side of N. Mount Hood Avenue Request: Conditional Use Permit Approval for a Multi -Family Development in the R-40 Zoning District Consisting of 140 Dwelling Units Rountree: Next item on the agenda would be Items C, D and E, public hearing for Stonesthrow Subdivision by Steve Arnold. Staff? Watters: Thank you, Chairman Rountree, Members of the Council. The next applications before you are a request for annexation and zoning, preliminary plat, and conditional use permit. This site consists of 9.22 acres of land. It's currently zoned RUT in Ada County and is located approximately a quarter of a mile south of East Fairview Avenue on the west side of the North Mt. Hood Avenue. The applicant proposes to annex and zone 10.26 acres of land with an R-40 zoning district, consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and the high density residential future land use map designation for this site. A 41 lot preliminary plat consisting of 35 building lots and six common lots is proposed on 9.22 acres of land. The plat is proposed to develop in three phases, as shown on the phasing plan there at the upper right-hand corner. Access is proposed via North Mt. Hood Avenue along the east boundary of the site and the extension of East Florence Drive at the west boundary through the site. Both local streets. Several driveways are proposed via East Florence Drive. A traffic impact study was submitted to and reviewed by ACHD, which included the single family residential project to the east across Mt. Hood.called White Cloud Subdivision. The ACHD report states all existing local streets will operate within ACHD acceptable level of service thresholds for local streets. A conditional use permit is requested for a multi -family residential development consisting of total of 140 dwelling units, with a mix of two and three bedroom units in an Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 13 of 43 R-40 zoning district. The site plan depicts a total of 35 two story four-plex structures, with a clubhouse containing an office, exercise facility, recreation room, food preparation and outdoor seating area. A swimming pool, pathways, a Bocce ball court, raised planter beds, plaza and sitting areas, a half basketball court, or volleyball court and possibly a dog run as site amenities. Since the Commission hearing the applicant submitted a revised plan as shown that complies with the minimum qualified open space and site amenity requirements for the subdivision, as well as a multi -family development. Parking is proposed in accord with UDC standards. Parking lot landscaping, as well as landscaping along the foundation of all street facing elevations is required. The site plan before you shows the covered parking spaces in the boxed areas here and these are just some photos of the site amenities proposed. Conceptual building elevations and pictures were submitted for the residential and clubhouse structures within this development as shown. These are the multi -family. There are three different designs of the residential structures proposed, consisting of a pinwheel design, modified pinwheel, which there is not an entry on the backside of the structure, only a patio. Structures that abut existing residential properties along the south and west boundaries and a modern design. The proposed structures have the appearance of single family homes, rather than apartments. Building materials are proposed to consist of a mix of fiber cement board and batten and/or shingle style siding, horizontal lap siding and trim and fascia with architectural grade asphalt shingles. And this also is the clubhouse elevations here. The Commission did recommend approval of these applications at their hearing. Steve Arnold testified in favor, the applicant's representative. In opposition several folks testified. Excuse me if I mispronounce anybody's names. Alvera McClain, Georgia Lett, Linda Monroe, Ruby Strubal, Deborah McKnight, Ray Valenti, Emory Helm, Richard Salisbury, Patricia Jennings, Randy Jennings, Doug Peterson, Floyd Culver, Robert Stucker, Scott Kim, Delores Sass, Megan Ward and Ken Sansoucie. Written testimony was received from Steve Arnold in response to the staff report. A petition was submitted from adjacent property owners in Crossroads Subdivision. Testimony was received from Emory and Pamela Helm and Shirley Lovett. The key issue of discussion at the Commission hearing was the traffic circulation and volumes in the general vicinity. Mainly on Florence Street and cutting through the residential neighborhood to the west. The changes that the Commission made to the staff recommendation are as follows: They voted to erect signage notifying the public of special needs hearing impaired residents in the vicinity at exit of the development on Florence and where crosswalks are proposed they should be constructed as raised crosswalks for a length of six to eight feet for traffic calming or other traffic calming method as allowed by ACHD. There are no outstanding issues for the Council and no written testimony has been received from the -- since the Commission hearing. Staff will stand for any questions Council may have. Rountree: Questions? Bird: I have none at this point. Rountree: David? Apparently not. Is the applicant with us this evening? If you would come up and share with us about your proposal. Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 14 of 43 Arnold: Mr. Chairman, Members of the City Council, for the record my name is Steve Arnold. I'm with A Team Land Consultants. 2785 Whisper Cove, Boise. 83709. 1 think Sonya has hit most of the highlights. I will give you kind of the thoughts behind how we laid this project out and design considerations. We did have a neighborhood meeting on this prior to submitting the application and as Sonya stated earlier, one of the considerations was traffic from Florence Street connecting over. One of the suggestions was that we don't connect Florence. As a courtesy I asked ACHD -- I already knew the answer about that and I didn't think the city would support it. So, what we did was we tried to mitigate, as best we could, the impact. So, on here we are showing approximately three chokers to choke down some of the traffic. That along with the speed bumps we felt would help some -- suffice some of the concerns with traffic going back and forth between our site and to the west. We did a traffic study and it was fewer traffic going west than expected. I think we had approximately 186 trips per day going that way and a little bit more going south towards the McHale Meadows Subdivision and that was at approximately 325 trips per day. I just want to say there was a traffic analysis that we did for this and all the streets are well below the capacity to handle the traffic from the site. Going to some of the buildings. These are buildings that you have seen on Timbergrove behind Kohl's and at Franklin and Locust Grove. Architecturally they have got quite a bit of features to them with quite a bit of hips and valleys. It's important to note they are only 28 feet high with no upstairs balcony and as Sonya was stating, we put a certain type -- that we have a pinwheel, we have got a modern, and, then, we have got this modified pinwheel, which, basically, has no rear entry, so we back that up to the single family to give the appearance that you're backing single -- a single family product up or townhouse type product up to the single family to make for the transition in uses. It's worked really well on Timbergrove. It appeased the neighborhood pretty good there because of the setbacks. Speaking of setbacks, the required setback is 15 feet. What we are showing along the south is roughly 30 to 40. That includes a ten foot, oh, common lot for an irrigation facility. Along the west we are roughly 20 to 30. We undulated the building or angled it different ways to give for large pockets of landscaping there we are going to try and beef up that landscaping or we are showing beefed up landscaping to help buffer adjacent uses with what we are proposing. Florence Road -- going back to that road. We did provide detached sidewalk, so that we could create a boulevard effect. That, coupled with our bulb outs, we should be able to create kind of a boulevard effect that will have traffic calming effects in itself. The clubhouse -- I think Sonya hit on this a little bit, but our clubhouse we -- kind of a unique design. You don't see too many clubhouses with a windmill next to them. It's -- architecturally it resembles a barn, but it's -- it's a very nice set up. They have got not a little pool, these are larger pools for housing these facilities and as stated we are doing the raised planter beds, the bocce ball court and all the amenities within the site. I think that's all I have for my presentation. I guess I will stand for questions and hopefully clear things up. Rountree: Questions for Mr. Arnold? Bird: I have none at this time. Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 15 of 43 Arnold: I guess one other item. Just before we -- I got here I forgot to make a call to the representative of the neighborhood association to the south and I was able to talk to my client tonight. Before we were going to do a raised median in Mt. Hood. In talking with the representative tonight, we would be willing to put up a road trust deposit that would be deposited to either ACHD or the city, to pay for speed bumps for speeding concerns in the subdivision south of us in McHale Meadows. That, as discussed with the representative tonight, would be refunded if after three years it wasn't utilized in construction. So, that was just agreed to 15, 20 minutes ago. So, that's something that we have agreed to. One of the items also that was a concern there was that our residents will be using the basketball court within their subdivision. Right now we are proposing either a volleyball court or a basketball court at our southwest corner. We are also the developers of the subdivision to the east of us, it's called White Cloud Subdivision. It was approved through the city of Boise. We were planning to do the basketball court over there, but I think it doesn't matter either way and with that I will stand for questions. Rountree: Okay. Questions? Borton: Mr. President? Rountree: Joe. Borton: Steve, was the refund after three years would that be three years after the final building permit of your project? What would trigger the start of that clock? Arnold: It was just discussed, Commissioner Borton. I think we can stipulate that tonight. You know, I -- we are anticipating getting on this pretty quickly. Maybe we do it three years after the recordation of the first phase of the final plat. Borton: Mr. President? If the condition is intended to address traffic, perhaps provide calming, is it more appropriate to have it start later? Arnold: Well, on that note I don't think that the volume of traffic really warrants it. In this case it's our client that is being in good faith trying to show -- you know, whether you got ten cars speeding or 50 cars speeding, you know, if they can get it in sooner I would, you know, certainly support it. Borton: Okay Rountree: Other questions? Bird: I have none. Rountree: Thank you. I have one for sure person signed up to testify. Emory Helm. Good evening. If you would give us your name and address. Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 16 of 43 Helm: I'm Emory Helm. I live at 1211 North Legislative Way in Crossroads Sub and probably going to surprise Mr. Arnold„ but -- and if my neighbors were here they would probably throw rocks at me, but I studied this design that they propose here and it is a good design. I like it. It's a very nice design. However, the thing that we are concerned about is that there is a single family house subdivision to the south, single family houses where we are at to the west, and they are putting single family houses to the east and I do like this design, I just think it's in the wrong place. If they would have flip flopped that and had the single family houses up by the single family houses -- and I realize they can't do that now -- it would have been a lot better for us. The other thing that we were really concerned about is opening Florence up. It's -- it's dead end right there and there is a street in the subdivision to the south, I can't recall it's name now, runs from Cloverdale all the way up to our subdivision, Crossroads Sub. What they did there, which went right to our sub, cut it off, put the cul-de-sac in and put a walkway through there. Now, I know Mr. Arnold said that he had a traffic engineer study the traffic. If he was my traffic engineer I would fire him on the spot, because any fifth grader with common sense could look at this and tell you that just about the majority of traffic will come right through our subdivision to Records to go to Walmart, to go to Crossroads Shopping Center, to go to The Village, to go to Fairview. The majority of that traffic is coming right through our subdivision and he says 187 cars, I sat down and figured out there would be between three and four hundred cars a day come through there and that's one of our main concerns and, if I may, one thing that got us angry was when my wife and I took these letters into Planning and Zoning a nice young lady came out named Sonya and she is nice and we told her, well, this is our letter of protest, we don't want this, we don't want to open up Florence and she was nice until then, then, she just all of a sudden said that's going through and we are going to open up Florence and I says you mean this is a done deal and she started to shake her yes, but, then, she kind of backed off and said, well, just go to the meeting and I asked the Planning and Zoning board the same thing and I didn't accuse them, I asked them, I said is this a done deal. You know, it's kind of like our subdivision, it's Rodney Dangerfield of subdivisions, we don't get any respect with what the neighbors say. I haven't talked to one neighbor that wants this through. Even though the design is -- it's a good design, it's just in the wrong place and my neighbor Shirley, who I am speaking for also, she's in Colorado, she can't be here, her house backs right up to where they are going to build this and her house also sits right on Florence and she's just -- she's a single lady, her husband passed away last year and she's pretty much horrified at, well, what's going to happen. Like I say, Steve, it's a good design, it's just in the wrong place. Rountree: If I could have you summarize, please. Three minutes -- Helm: Yeah. I'm just about done. Rountree: Okay. Please. Helm: It's -- it kind of just, you know, got to us when we walked in and, basically, it was a done deal and the Planning and Zoning board, when I asked them, I said did you even look at the letter and look at the pictures that I took, they got the deer in the headlight look, like -- and you could tell they never even read them and so we are pretty upset about that, Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 17 of 43 but I thank you for letting me spout off up here and talk and I appreciate you men and the lady if she was here, but thank you very much. I appreciate it. Rountree: Thank you for being here. Helm: Thank you. Cavener: Mr. President? Could I ask a question real quick? Bird: Mr. Helm. Rountree: Mr. Helm, we have a question for you Cavener: Question for you. Helm: Sorry. Yes, sir. Cavener: Can you articulate for me a little further where these cars are going to come from that you're concerned about that if -- Helm: Yeah. They are going to come -- there is that many of apartments -- I call them apartments. That's what they are. There is going to be at least probably two cars per apartment, plus the other subdivision, plus the subdivision to the south, you, then, want to go to The Village or they want to go to Walmart or they want to go to -- and going to the east also, they are not going out to Fairview, because there is no light there and they are not going to Cloverdale, but that would be the long way around. They come right through us and come through our subdivision the shortest way and there is a light there at Records, so they can get across Fairview and that's where all these cars are coming from. Cavener: Follow up, Mr. President. I assume Records is the preferred street of the residents in your neighborhood, though, as well? Helm: Yes, it is. Cavener: Okay. Thank you very much. Helm: You bet. Rountree: Other questions? All right. You can sit down now. I have Rex on this list again. I don't know if Rex is having -- somebody having fun this evening, but I don't see Rex. Are there any other folks out there that wish to testify? Yes, sir. Valenti: My name is Ray Valenti. I live at 942 North Stolle Place, McHale Meadows Subdivision, Meridian, Idaho. I'm the gentleman that Mr. Arnold was talking about. We have been negotiating as to what's going to happen with this development. First of all, I want to say that Mr. Arnold has been very good in negotiating with us and up front and I'm Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 18 of 43 pleased to deal -- negotiate with him. He has our interest at heart and I appreciate that. It's really tough. He got beat up last time he was -- with the Planning and Zoning meeting. Anyway, I live in McHale Meadows Subdivision. I live on Stolle. Stolle is a dead end and realistically three of you know me, I'm a retired Boise cop, 31 years, I know what people do with cars, they take the path of least resistance. They are going to come out of this subdivision -- and are talking about 140, 160 unit development being built here in Meridian, but right next door is 140 units. That's 300 units at each of the north of our area. The 140 units in Boise city -- it's going to put traffic in our neighborhood. We understand that. If people are going to want to get to the freeway from this subdivision, they are going to blow through these subdivisions. That's a fact. You can't prevent it. It's what's going to happen. I have been in touch with Mr. John Lawson of the Ada County Highway District, talking with him, trying to find out what's going to go and our traffic studies were done here about a year ago and they are inadequate. They don't really represent what's going to happen. I did ask Mr. Arnold about the traffic calming devices. Our subdivision asked for three years. At the completion of their development, the three years, if they -- if we can't substantiate that we need traffic calming devices, they have their money back. That's where that three years came from. We are trying to be reasonable and I think they are trying to be reasonable. We have concerns that our basketball court is going to be overrun, because, realistically, people will take the path of least opposition, they are going to come into our neighborhood versus trying to cross Fairview to get to the Kleiner Park subdivision to go play basketball. It's going to happen. So, I encourage the developer to go for basketball. A basketball hoop versus volleyball. Mr. Arnold has graciously accepted to put in three traffic calming devices if needed. That's dictated by Ada County Highway District. You know that and I know that. None of us in this room have any input on whether those will or will not go in. We understand that. I think they have done what they can do to make this work and we are willing to work with them. They have answered our causes, but the traffic will be an issue. By the way, I was late because I sat through three cycles at the light at the Pine and Eagle to get here tonight. Three. Those are four and a half minutes. I timed them. Rountree: Me, too. Valenti: Members of the City Council, thanks for your time. The police department, the fire department, the City Council, please come to our homeowners association National Night Out in August. We would love to have you. Thank you. Rountree: We be there. Anyone else wish to testify? Seeing none. Bird: Mr. Arnold. Rountree: Okay. Mr. Arnold. Arnold: Name and address again? Rountree: No. Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 19 of 43 Arnold: First of all, I appreciate the neighborhood turn out to this City Council. I do try to work hard. I appreciate the -- process through the city, so their kind words were nice. In regards to my traffic engineer -- and since he is not here and I do got to comment on that. He is probably one of the most conservative engineers -- there are engineers that are very loose with their numbers to work towards a development. Chang. He used to work with me at Stanley Consultants and although I do question some of the traffic going west, I think he's covered it fairly well. Other than that I will stand for questions. I didn't hear anything that I need to respond to. Again, thank you. Rountree: I think there was a plea for a basketball court, as opposed to a volleyball court. Arnold: The basketball court fits a little bit better in White Cloud, but I can make it happen in Stonesthrow. I guess to also address another question, the entities that are doing the multi -family are different from the entities that are doing the single family and the main Stonesthrow is because it's a stone's throw from Meridian Village. So, the idea was to try to get higher density towards the commercial uses up in that area, so -- Rountree: Okay. Any other questions for Mr. Arnold? Thank you. Council? Bird: Mr. President? Rountree: Mr. Bird. Bird: I move we close the public hearings on AZ 15-005, PP 15-006 and CUP 15-009. Borton: Second. Rountree: It's been moved and seconded to close the public hearing on Items 8-C, D and E. All those in favor of the motion signify by aye. Opposed? Seeing none motion passes. MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. ONE ABSENT. Cavener: Mr. President, question for staff. Rountree: Luke. Cavener: Sonya, the applicant talked about -- and those that were testifying talked about establishing the substantial need for traffic calming devices. Is that something that we are going to dictate is what that, quote, unquote, substantial need is? Is that something that we are relying on the -- ACHD to determine that? I just want some clarification on that arbitrary term. Watters: President, Councilman Cavener, that's probably something that the applicant should be speaking to, but the city doesn't necessarily require those, it would have to be approved by ACHD. I believe that was in response to the last hearing -- testimony at the hearing and neighbors wanting traffic to slow down. Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 20 of 43 Cavener: Okay. Watters: Mr. Nary, did you remember something different? Nary: No. Watters: Okay. Nary: Mr. President, Members of the Council, Council Member Cavener, there are specific policies of ACHD and you have a representative here if you want them to state -- to reopen just for that if you feel the necessity to have those policies on your record, but to make that determination they have policies in existence in how it's done. Cavener: Okay. Rountree: Are you comfortable with that? Cavener: Yes. Thank you. Rountree: Okay. Thank you. Any further questions? Motions? Bird: Mr. President? Rountree: Mr. Bird. Bird: I move that we approve AZ 15-005 with staff, applicant, and public testimony included. And is this where we would put the time for the calming devices to start or would that be in the preliminary plat? The zoning. So, it don't have nothing to do with that. Watters: You could or you could wrap it into the development agreement, Councilman Bird. Probably the development agreement. Bird: This would be the development agreement and I would include in the development agreement that the three year time on the three calming devices would start at the end of the last CO for this subdivision. Okay? Rountree: A motion made. Cavener: Second. Rountree: It's been moved and seconded to approve this item with the conditions stated in the development agreement. All those in favor of the motion signify by aye. Opposed? Thank you. Roll call vote, please. Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 21 of 43 Roll Call: Rountree, yea; Bird, yea; Zaremba, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, absent; Cavener, yea. MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. ONE ABSENT.

Public Hearing: VAC 15-007 Erickson Vacation by Leroy Erickson Located 3056 N. Sunny Side Place Request: Vacate a Portion (4'X 24' area) of the 10 -Foot Wide Public Utility, Drainage and Irrigation (PUDI) Easement Along the East Boundary Lot 10, Block 3 Platted with Staten Park Subdivision Rountree: That brings us to Item 8-F. Sonya or Bruce. Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 22 of 43 Watters: I will take care of that. Sorry about that. Give me just a moment here. The next application before you is a request for a vacation. This site is located at 3056 North Sunnyside Place. The applicant requests approval to vacate a portion -- a four foot by 24 foot area south of the northeast property line. That's a ten foot wide public utility drainage and irrigation easement along the east boundary of Lot 10, Block 3, platted with Staten Park Subdivision. The remaining six feet of the easement will remain along the east boundary of the property line. There is a diagram showing that. Approval of the subject vacation application with removal of a portion of the easement and allow the applicant to submit for a building permit to construct a new 12 foot by 24 foot shed on the property outside of the five foot wide side yard setback. The applicant has also solicited input from the adjacent neighbors who are in support of a larger shed. Also with utilities having the consent to relinquish the portion of said easement. The Nampa -Meridian Irrigation District has stated they have no jurisdiction over the easement area. Since none of the applicable utility providers object to the proposed vacation, staff recommends approval of vacating the easements as proposed. No written testimony has been received on the application and there are no outstanding issues for Council. Staff will stand for any questions. Rountree: Questions for staff on this item? Bird: I have none. Rountree: Is applicant here? Do you wish to provide any information? You have indicated you're supportive of this. If you would give us your name and address, please. Erickson: Leroy Erickson. 3056 Sunnyside Place, Meridian, Idaho. On this piece I'd like to go into, there is 173 foot -- ten foot of that is going through there, plus I got another -- get my notes here. I have another 42 foot with a ten foot easement. So, in other words, I got like 1,800 square feet of my living -- not my living area, but my lot that's supposedly I can't do anything with. I mean behind my house where I want to put this shed there is already ten foot on my side, there is ten foot on the adjoining side, excuse me, and the irrigation line runs on the other side of the trench. I contacted all the utilities. Every one of them were fine with it. They said they don't have any need for it, all of our stuff comes in from the front. There was already a shed there when I moved in and I wanted to -- it was a ten by 12 and what I want to do is a 12 by 24. 1 like to do a lot of tinkering. It's not set up for a business or anything like that. But that's what I'm looking for. Rountree: Okay. Erickson: And appreciate you looking it over. Rountree: Thank you. This is a public hearing and you did sign up to testify for it and you have done that and I have Pamela as well. Do you wish to -- you support it and even though I suspect it's somebody having fun this evening, Rex is signed up against again, so, Rex, whoever you are, you have presence on every sign-up sheet this evening and not shown your face, so -- thank you. Anybody else out there wish to testify in this particular hearing? Seeing none. Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 23 of 43 Borton: Mr. President? Rountree: Mr. Borton. Borton: Move we close the public hearing on VAC 15-007. Zaremba: Second. Rountree: It's been moved and seconded to close the public hearing on Item 8-F. All those in favor of the motion signify by aye. Opposed? Verygood. MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. ONE ABSENT. Borton: Mr. President? Rountree: Mr. Borton. Borton: Move that we approve VAC 15-007.

Mayor's Office: Resolution No. 15-1075: A Resolution Appointing Bryan L. Leisle to Seat 7 of the Meridian Transportation Commission Rountree: Department Reports. Robert from the Mayor's office. Simison: Thank you, Council President Rountree, Members of the Council. The next two items on the agenda are appointments to the Meridian Transportation Commission. We have had a few vacancies and we are lucky enough to have a lot of qualified applicants that came in for this, it just took a little while to generate all the qualified applicants to come in. The first one is Ryan Hall. He's an 18 year resident of the City of Meridian. Not in the transportation area, but financial planning. He -- the Mayor met with the individuals, along with the chair of the commission, in selecting these applicants and this person was initially selected prior to the additional ones coming, but they felt he was more than qualified and I know that Mr. Hall -- it was tentative he would be here, I have not met him, but I believe he is here in the audience and may want to say a few words, after you consider his application. The second one is Brian -- and, I'm sorry, I think it's Leisle. I don't know that for a fact. But he is someone that brings a certain perspective to the transportation Commission related to bicycles. You know, someone who has a real interest in that component to the community and, again, that was the person selected for the position. So, I bring those both to you for your consideration and be happy to attempt to answer any questions if I can. Rountree: Any questions for Robert? Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 25 of 43 Zaremba: Mr. President? Rountree: Mr. Zaremba. Zaremba: Just a clarification if I may. Both of these are completing a term on a vacant seat; is that correct? This is not a new complete term for each of them? Simison: One of them is completing a vacancy. One of them is a complete new term. Zaremba: Okay. Simison: Pat Morandy completed his term, so it is filling that one for three years. The other one was a step down and had two years left on that term. Zaremba: Thank you. Rountree: Are either of the applicants here this evening that might want to -- do you want to get your opportunity to speak in public or just raise your hand so we know who you are or whatever. Your choice. Leisle: So, I'm Brian Leisle. You were close. And I am really excited about this volunteer position and I'm happy to offer what I can to the community to make it a better place. Rountree: Great. Leisle: To continue it. Rountree: Thank you for your commitment. Appreciate it. That's what makes us go around. :71ii1■�LTiiMUi-MC'1'i 16 Rountree: Mr. Bird. Bird: Seeing how you're running the meeting, I will make the motion. I move we approve Resolution No. 15-1074 appointing Ryan Hall to Seat Two of the Meridian Transportation Commission. Cavener: Second. Rountree: It's been moved and seconded to approve Item 9-A. Roll call. Roll Call: Rountree, yea; Bird, yea; Zaremba, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, absent; Cavener, yea. MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. ONE ABSENT. Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 26 of 43 Bird: Mr. President? Rountree: Mr. Bird. Bird: I would move that we approve Resolution No. 15-1075 appointing Brian Leisle to Seat Seven of the Meridian Transportation Commission. Zaremba: Second. Rountree: It's been moved and seconded to approve Item 9-B. Roll call vote. Roll Call: Rountree, yea; Bird, yea; Zaremba, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, absent; Cavener, yea. MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. ONE ABSENT. C. Mayor's Office: Budget Amendment for the Youth Farmers Market in the Not -to -Exceed Amount of $13,000.00 Rountree: Okay. Robert, you're doing the next one as well? Simison: Yes, I am. Rountree: All right. Simison: Council President, Members of the Council, what you have in front of you next is a budget amendment to put on a youth farmers market here in downtown. You may or may not remember, but at the State of the City the Mayor mentioned looking into the possibility of bringing a farmers market back to downtown that would be focused on youth, to make it unique. This is an attempt to do an event in September that would, hopefully, be the kick off to a full-time youth farmers market next summer. The funds that are here are primarily funds that have been earmarked from the Blue Cross of Idaho foundation that the city was the recipient of. That's 10,000 dollars. We have also received funding from MDC in the amount of 1,500 dollars and expect to receive some funds from the Boise Co-op as well to do this. So, these would all be funds that would be coming in from outside sources to put on this one time event, as well as get some of the supplies for next year's event, such as tables and canopies. So, with that I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. Rountree: Questions for Robert? Cavener: Mr. President? Rountree: Luke. Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 27 of 43 Cavener: Robert, you said attempts. I assume that this is happening in September? Simison: This -- this is -- we are trying to make sure it does happen. Part of that requires vendors. So, vendors have to be lined up. We need a minimum of ten youth vendors. At last count I know we had about six confirmed. The Mayor just put out something in her -- the city newsletter this week, so we are hoping to see that grow. But as -- the only things we are waiting for final feedback from Blue Cross of Idaho that they are willing to put in their funds, but we need to do the tables and canopies, to offset some of the costs for people if they by chance come back and say they are not interested in doing it this year that could postpone us from doing the event as we see it. It doesn't mean we couldn't do something similar. Even with the funds from MDC we can get something off the ground, it just may not be the entire event that we would envision for this fall. Cavener: Follow up. So, if I'm correct, you haven't received the funds from Blue Cross or from MDC or from -- correct? Simison: Correct. Nothing has been transmitted to us officially. The Blue Cross one is technically a grant. That's -- we expend and they pay back and that's how this would go. But until we get sign off on them we wouldn't be moving forward on any purchases for any of the things related to this event or we would come back and let you know that they have stalled and have a further discussion with Council, but we wouldn't spend the money just until we get it. Cavener: Okay. Thank you. Rountree: Other questions? Borton: Mr. President? Just procedurally, why -- what's the reason for doing a budget amendment now prior to having that confirmation? Simison: Today is the last day to do budget amendments for the year. Borton: Pretty good reason. Rountree: Following the rules. Bird: You didn't know that? Borton: Just testing. Bird: Why do you think we got ten of them on here. Rountree: No more questions? So I have a motion? Bird: Mr. President? Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 28 of 43 Rountree: Mr. Bird. Bird: I move we approve the budget amendment for the youth farmers market not to exceed the amount of 13,000 dollars. Cavener: Second. Rountree: It's been moved and seconded to approve Item 9-C. Roll call vote. Roll Call: Rountree, yea; Bird, yea; Zaremba, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, absent; Cavener, yea. MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. ONE ABSENT. D. Fire Department: Budget Amendment for Multi -Agency Master Plan for the Not -to -Exceed Amount of $20,000.00 Rountree: Thank you, Robert. Item 9-D. Fire department. Chief, are you going to do all three of these? Niemeyer: I'm not. I'm going to do this one and then -- Rountree: Okay. Niemeyer: -- Chief Jones and Chief Palmer will tag team there. Mr. President, Members of the Council, thank you. First of all, I can assure you I'm not Rex. I'm not sure who Rex is, but not me. Rountree: He signed up and didn't show. Niemeyer: I am here to request funds not to exceed 20,000 dollars for the participation and development of a multi -agency master plan. This discussion began about six months ago with the Mayor as we discussed how to plan for future levels of service, future staffing levels, future station build outs, apparatus replacements, et cetera, and enlisted the help of ESCI, who is a firm we have used in the past for our strategic plan development. They are one of only a few in the nation that do emergency services consulting. We have used them very successfully in the past. They are endorsed by the International Fire Chiefs as well. We also presented this concept to the rural fire district and they have, in turn, unanimously supported their participation in this to help fund it as well. Through those continued discussions we realize there may be future opportunities with our neighbors to the south and, then, primarily the northwest in Star and Kuna. At the Mayor's direction I also engaged both of those fire districts and they expressed a willingness to want to participate and help fund the plan as well. They see an area where we can collaborate in the future. I do believe firmly that the future of the fire service is collaboration where we can try and reduce costs. I think we have proven that in the EMS Joint Powers Agreement. We can prove that on the fire side through standardization of equipment, Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 29 of 43 joint purchasing and using our purchasing power to decrease our costs overall. So, we do have a commitment from both Kuna and Star to also participate and prior to bringing it to you we also were contacted by two additional fire districts -- make that three. I'm sorry. Middleton, Caldwell, and Parma, that had caught wind that we were doing this and they expressed an interest in participating as well. They face the same challenges we do long term of cost and how do we come together and do things together to help reduce costs overall to -- to our respective municipalities and districts. So, they are included in this plan, that's why it is called a multi -agency master plan. We did engage Councilman Borton, as well as Stacy from Finance. She's very supportive of this plan, she has been asking for a couple years how do we determine levels of service and we fully anticipate that the development of this plan will help us identify response time standards throughout different parts of our response area. The plan also looks at staffing levels. It looks at overtime, which is something I know we are all very interested in. It also helps to establish some short, mid, and long-term strategies. So, with that I'm certainly happy to answer any questions. Rountree: Questions for Mark? Bird: Mr. President? Rountree: Mr. Bird. Bird: Mark, we have got -- besides the rural and ourselves, we have got five other entities that are interested and the total package is 60,000 dollars and we are putting up 40 -- between the two of us the 40,000, which leaves another 20 for them, four thousand apiece, is that how that's going? Niemeyer: So, the 60,000 is for the City of Meridian, Meridian rural, Kuna and Star. The plan started with just Meridian rural and the city. I asked ESCI to do up a bid and that was 40,000 dollars for the two combined jurisdictions. To add smaller jurisdictions each one of those are really one station operations, adds about 10,000 dollars to the cost. So, when Star and Kuna came on board that added essentially 20,000 dollars, which brought it to sixty. If Middleton, Kuna and Caldwell continue as they said they are going to, they will pay 10,000 dollars as well when they jump on. Bird: Okay. Let me clarify something then. As Kuna and Middleton committed to their ten or are we sitting right at a 40,000 dollar deal right now? Niemeyer: Yeah. Kuna and Star have both committed. Middleton has committed. Caldwell has committed. They are running one thing by their legal counsel. Currently the chief of Caldwell, Chief Wendelsdorf, is a board member of the International Fire Chiefs and they just want to make sure there is no conflict of interest, because the International has endorsed this -- this company. But they have committed. I don't anticipate Parma participating. That's a third district that was interested, but I don't -- I don't see them participating. Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 30 of 43 Bird: Okay. Rountree: Any other questions? David. Zaremba: Thank you, Mr. President. A couple of questions. I see capital outlay expenditures mentioned -- several times that term is used. I'm interpreting this overall as a memorandum of understanding for services -- sharing services with each other. Is that one phrase or is there some other intent to this that it might also be a joint purchasing -- that's not the one we are talking about? Okay. I'm sorry. Rountree: Now you're unconfused, David? Zaremba: Okay. That's not the master -- forget that question. I will ask it later. Rountree: Luke, you had a question? Cavener: Chief, I noticed that the -- your checkmark of approval and your liaison's checkmark of approval are missing on this. Is there any reason that the -- Niemeyer: No. I had a checkmark. Cavener: -- the formality -- maybe it's not visible in the -- Niemeyer: I don't know if I checked it. Cavener: Okay. Borton: Mr. President? It should be checked. We had some good discussions. Just to provide a little clarity to some things that we did discuss are, you know, what components of the master plan -- especially when you add more and more agencies, might not be as relevant. You used the comment -- or made the comment of, you know, response time, which might be more an individualized goal of a particular municipality, as opposed to collaborating on location, station locations, purchasing powers. Are there some components of the master plan work that wouldn't fit within the scope of all these agencies? Niemeyer: Yeah. Good question. Mr. President, Councilman Borton, there are going to be aspects ESCI looks at for each department individually, because we do have some unique characteristics amongst our departments. For example, on the issue of response time standards, we would like to define it as what's identified in the legislation through the EMS legislation four areas which consist of urban, suburban, rural and, then, frontier and, really, what we try to achieve as fire departments is that same type of response time standards through our different jurisdictions. So, in that sense one response time goal could apply to multiple or it could be broken out individually. That's just going to be part of the process as we go through the plan. Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 31 of 43 Borton: Okay. Niemeyer: But there certainly will be some aspects of each department that will be very unique and they will identify those unique areas and address them in the plan. So, we talked about layout a little bit. You may see a Meridian section and a Caldwell section and a section where you can truly collaborate together to reduce costs or become more efficient and effective. Borton: Okay. Thank you. Rountree: Other questions? Zaremba: Mr. President? Actually, I will resurrect the question I was intending to ask. Niemeyer: Okay. Zaremba: I was referencing the wrong thing, but it would apply to a multi -agency master plan and my -- where I'm going with it is -- is there any way of developing a joint purchasing plan and is that what -- is part of this? Niemeyer: I do believe it will be. I certainly can't speak to what the outcomes will be, because there is certainly analysis that needs to take place, but I would hope that one of the outcomes -- Zaremba: Ask the consultant to look at that -- Niemeyer: Absolutely. Zaremba: --as an idea. Niemeyer: And we have had several discussions with the consultants about that as far as mid and short-term type strategies -- Zaremba: Uh-huh. Niemeyer: -- how we look at purchasing together to reduce cost and we would like them to lead that discussion. Zaremba: Thank you. Rountree: Further questions? Borton: Mr. President? Rountree: Mr. Borton. Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 32 of 43 Borton: No other question, I would move that we approve 9-D, the budget amendment for the multi -agency master plan in an amount not to exceed 20,000 dollars. Zaremba: Second. Rountree: It's been moved and seconded to approve Item 9-D. Roll call. Roll Call: Rountree, yea; Bird, yea; Zaremba, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, absent; Cavener, yea. MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. ONE ABSENT. Niemeyer: Thank you. E. Fire Department Budget Amendment for Public Education/Prevention for the Not -to -Exceed Amount of $23,220.00 Rountree: Item 9-E. Perry. Palmer: Thank you, Council President, Members of the Council. The next amendment before you is for fire prevention and public education. In the exhibit you will see where there are five sources of income that the department has received and accompanying three areas for expenditures. The revenues and the expenditures match at 23,220 dollars and with that I will stand for any questions. Rountree: Any questions? Bird: I have none. Rountree: Seeing none. Borton: Mr. President? Rountree: Mr. Borton. Borton: Move that we approve Item 9-E, a budget amendment for the public education and prevention fund in an amount not to exceed 23,220 dollars. Zaremba: Second. Rountree: It's been moved and seconded to approve Item 9-E. All those in favor -- oh. Roll call. Excuse me. Roll Call: Rountree, yea; Bird, yea; Zaremba, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, absent; Cavener, yea. Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 33 of 43 MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. ONE ABSENT. F. Fire Department: Budget Amendment for Bicycle Medic Program for the Not -to -Exceed Amount of $16,232.00 Rountree: Next item 8-F. Jones: Good evening, President Rountree, Members of Council. I think this is about all the firefighters you're going to see this evening, but, finally, I would like to present a budget amendment request for an amount not to exceed 16,232 dollars to purchase bicycle, gear, AEDs and uniforms to initiate a bicycle medic program that the department will use to staff special events in the City of Meridian where we can provide more rapid and environmentally friendly response. This would be offset by a grant that the department received recently from the Firehouse Public Safety Foundation in the amount of 16,867 specifically for this program and that fund has been received and deposited and with that I will stand for any questions. Bird: Mr. President? Rountree: Mr. Bird. Bird: Chief, we are -- are we going to have the police officers that ride the bikes now man these? Is that how we are doing it or are we going to bring people in on overtime to man these? Jones: Councilman Bird, Members of the Council, what we will do is continue our current staff levels that we are using to staff these events with our firefighter EMTs and paramedics. We are currently staffing Meridian city sponsored events, historic events, and some promoter events on overtime with our firefighters and we will continue that service. Currently what we are doing is we are borrowing DDT's from Parks and Recreation or putting the firefighters on foot. So, we are not going to incur any increased costs over what we have been doing, we are just simply changing the manner in which they will respond. Bird: We are covering the special events with OT now; right? Jones: Yes, sir. That's correct. Bird: What you just stated? Jones: The one exception to that, Councilman Bird, when we do have sponsored events or promoted events, such as events in Kleiner Park, those costs are offset through the TUP process, so if there is a promoter having an event, then, they are billed for the -- those wages. Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 34 of 43 Bird: Are we taking an engine out there at the time right now or -- to man those? Jones: Not typically, no, sir. Bird: I didn't think so. Okay. Thank you. Rountree: Other questions? Cavener: Mr. President? Rountree: Luke. Cavener: More of a procedural question, just based on the last two amendments we have seen. A lot of the penciled in dollar amounts after the form has been filled in and I assume that all the department directors, Mayor, and Stacy have seen these since those numbers have been updated? I don't mean to put you on the spot. Maybe the department -- or the Council liaison can just confer. Borton: The updated reports, from what I have seen, is what's on the web link, what you're probably looking at right now. Cavener: Okay. Borton: So -- and that matches the numbers that you're signifying will be expended to complete that project. Jones: Yes. One of the discrepancies in this -- in this amendment is an amount of about 600 dollars. The quotes we received from Meridian Cycle did include sales tax, so that amount of money will be refunded to the firehouse sub foundation and the actual amount of 16,232 dollars is for the purchase of the equipment. Rountree: The question I have is a large ongoing expense -- uniforms. What's -- what's the uniform difference? Getting them shorts? Jones: Yes, President Rountree. Because, you know, we are going to put firefighters on bicycles in the summer in the park, you know, our standard fire resistant clothing uniforms are not really adequate. We consulted with Sergeant Harper from the Police Department and we are purchasing the same style uniforms that police bike patrol purchases. Rountree: Okay. Further questions? Jones: Thank you. Rountree: Thank you. Borton: Mr. President? Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 35 of 43 Rountree: Mr. Borton. Borton: If there is no other questions, I would move we approve 9-F, the budget amendment for the bicycle medic program in an amount not to exceed 16,232 dollars. Cavener: Second. Rountree: It's been moved and seconded to approve Item 9-F. Roll call. Roll Call: Rountree, yea; Bird, yea; Zaremba, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, absent; Cavener, yea. MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. ONE ABSENT. G. Legal and Fire Departments: Memorandum of Understanding and Agreement between the City of Meridian and the Meridian Rural Fire Protection District for FY 2015-2016 Rountree: Next item is 9-G and, Bill, you're to run down that with us? Nary: Yes, Mr. President. Mr. President, Members of the Council -- and, again, with all good intentions, the action item -- or the department report item that's listed in the packet was just the prior agreement as previously discussed and, then, simply transferred over. I have handed you the new agreement that we have negotiated with the rural district and we, basically, have paired it down and as I reported to you a couple weeks ago, what the district has decided to do was simply have an MOU for the -- continuing for one continuing year and the objection -- or the intention is, then, from this point forward over the next few months we will negotiate a new agreement -- ongoing agreement for the future years going forward. So, have paired it down to a pretty simple, two-page agreement, which is pretty good for lawyers, especially ones that get paid by the hour. And so you will note in -- in sub paragraph two on the second page there was some other' language previously that was unclear as to what the definition was, as to what was being paid for. Now, it simply is very -- trying to be much clearer that it's 15 percent of the departmental cost, excluding the capital outlay for fire engines. We did get a request from the Finance Department today and that was for all capital outlay, because we sometimes define capital of other things, such as computers. But because computers for the fire department are very small, not computers for the entire city, which is why we define those as a capital for the city, the district had no concern about that. They were just concerned about the engines and they were just concerned about the AEDs, because that's a defined program that is within the city limits. So, that's why they have called out those two things, but that was it. So, they wanted to make it as simply as possible and as direct as we could, but I apologize that the one in the packet that if you have looked at that previously it's the same one you have seen before and this is the one that was -- has been negotiated and it's ready for approval if you're okay with it. If I have missed anything Chief Niemeyer I'm sure can add to it, but -- Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 36 of 43 Bird: I have no problems. Rountree: No questions? Don't see any questions. Borton: Mr. President? Just one question. When you go through the process for the next year for the new agreement, is it feasible to start from scratch, so to speak, and have a new agreement that contains everything -- so, all of the references and attachments of old previous ones can be stopped and we will have a new single document going forward? Nary: Mr. President, Members of the Council, Councilman Borton, that is absolutely our intention. Mr. Fitzgerald and I both have said the same thing, that the constant reference to the '98 agreement, the 2011 addendum, is confusing to everyone and we need to just have one document moving forward and the intention originally of this, you recall about a month ago, was to supersede all of those, we outlined what those agreements were that we were superseding and, then, we got hung up on what some of the language was, including the fine. So, going forward that's -- we will probably have a statement similar to the prior version which says this supersedes all of these prior agreements, we will list them so it's clear in the record what we are eliminating and we will have one agreement going forward. Borton: Okay. No exhibits of the previous ones? 1!FrILM!Q Borton: Okay. Mr. President? Rountree: No further? Okay. Joe. Borton: Any questions? You're okay? Zaremba: I guess I was just going to comment -- it's nice to have a historical reference to how long we have had an agreement in there and I don't know if there is a way to put a sentence like in there. I agree with Councilman Borton we should have new writing that doesn't keep referring to the old ones, but maybe one line that mentions the historical -- how long we have had an agreement with them. Borton: Sure. Nary: And, Council Member Zaremba, my intention would be that we would have probably a paragraph that would list what they were, with some reference that if an interested party wanted to go find those, they are available in the public record, but not attach them to the new agreement, so that now it becomes -- instead of being a ten page agreement, it's a 70 page agreement, because we have 60 pages of attachments. So, we would reference it certainly so that it's clear, but we would allow people to then go look at that at their own choosing if they wish. Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 37 of 43 Zaremba: That works for me. Rountree: Anymore questions? Mr. Borton. Borton: Mr. President. I would move that we approve Item 9-G, the MOU between the City of Meridian and Meridian Rural Fire Protection District for fiscal year 2015-2016. Zaremba: Second. Rountree: It's been moved and seconded to approve Item 9-G. Roll call. Roll Call: Rountree, yea; Bird, yea; Zaremba, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, absent; Cavener, yea. MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. ONE ABSENT. H. Legal Department: Budget Amendment for FY 2015 for the Not - to -Exceed Amount of $50,000.00 for Outside Legal Expenses Rountree: Next item. Bill. Nary: Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Council. Annually we have a budgeted line item for outside legal expenses in the case where we ever have to hire outside counsel for a particular case. We have had an ongoing case since 2010 regarding a court facility in the City of Meridian. We are currently in mediation. We have outside counsel that's been representing the city since December of 2010. Each year I have to estimate at approximately this time how much potentially we may need in the most worst case scenario between now and the end of the fiscal year if we needed to pay legal expenses for either the lawyer cost, motions that are necessary or in this current case mediation. So, what I did is I asked for outside counsel to give us the worst case scenario looking at what we have already expended in this fiscal year, including what's been expended above what our budgeted amount is to this point, looking at the mediation, which isn't completed yet, looking at the potential that if it were to not go in a positive fashion, then, we would, then, have some additional legal costs and try to come up with an estimate as to how much would be necessary to be able to pay all of these through the rest of the fiscal year. I'm always hopeful that we are going to resolve this case sooner rather than later, but I have to be prepared in June, because of our scheduling as to how much we could potentially have to pay. That's the number that's in front of you. Again, it's based on the best estimate that we could come up with between outside counsel and myself to cover the expenses for the rest of the fiscal year. Rountree: Questions for Bill? Meridian City Council July 7, 2015 Page 38 of 43 Zaremba: Mr. President? I would just add a clarification. I think you -- you mentioned that this refers to a lawsuit about the courthouse. I would like to clarify on the record that this is a lawsuit that the county filed against us and we are responding. Nary: That is correct. Rountree: Other questions or clarifications? Zaremba: Mr. President? Rountree: Mr. Zaremba. Zaremba: I move we approve the budget amendment for fiscal year 2015 for the not to exceed amount of 50,000 dollars for outside legal expenses. Cavener: Second. Rountree: It's been moved and seconded to approve the request for legal expenses 9-H. Roll call. Roll Call: Rountree, yea; Bird, yea; Zaremba, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, absent; Cavener, yea.

The only portion of Meridian that will have the fly over is north of Chinden. So, the Spurwing, Springwing West and the Aldape -- the south bank of the Boise River.
