Bird: I would move we approve the Consent Agenda, including Resolution 04-450, and for the Mayor to sign and the Clerk to attest on all proper papers. Rountree: Second. De Weerd: Okay. The motion is to approve the Consent Agenda. Any further discussion? Mr. Berg. Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Wardle, yea; Donnell, yea. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Item 6: Department Reports A. City Clerk - Will Berg 1. Request to Change Date for Public Hearing for Kinasbridae Subdivision Annexation and Zoning, Preliminary Plat, and Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Development Applications: De Weerd: Okay. Item 6. Department Reports. We will begin with our city clerk. Berg: ~hank you, Madam Mayor. Even though this probably wasn't my topic, we put it under my department. We had a request made to us in writing -- and I think you have a copy of that in your electronic files -- to change the date for the Public Hearing for Kingsbridge. The applicant's representative explained the situation that he was involved with, that he's asking to change that date, so he can make it to do a full presentation. I believe a representative from this project is also here tonight if you have any other questions to ask them. Thank you. De Weerd: Council, would you like to hear from the applicant or do you have discussion? Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: I'd like to hear from the applicant, because we have set this when he was here and never heard anything about him not being able to be here at that time and there was a lot of people here that was under the impression that it's going to be a certain date. De Weerd: Okay. If you will, please, state your name. Meridian City Council November 9.2004 Page 5 of 39 Clarneau: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, my name is Randy Clarneau, and I'm the senior partner of Vision First, 661 South Rivershore Lane, Suite 120, in Eagle. 83616. Ken Elliott, who is a senior member of our team, who made the presentation at the last meeting, actually realized later that he is going to be out of the country during that time and because he is a senior member of our team and is probably most familiar with the discussions that have transpired with the neighborhood, with the staff, with the consultants and so forth, I think it would be a mistake to have the meeting without him, since he has a lot of that background and knowledge, and so he has requested on our behalf that we move that and we have also offered to notify the residents and pay for the cost of that or to pay for the cost if the city would want to notify the residents of the date change. And I think it would also, you know, give us a little more time for preparation. Not that we have a tremendous amount of need for that, but certainly would give us more time for preparation. De Weerd: Okay. Nary: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Yes. Mr. Attorney. Nary: Just for the Council's consideration, because the request came the day of the meeting, the notices -- and I think that's why it's under Mr. Berg's report -- the notices haven't been sent yet. There is adequate time to provide adequate notice under the statute for either the date that we originally set of November 30th or a reset date afterwards. So, it's within your discretion to do either one. Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: If we was to reset that, it would be -- the first available one would be the 14th of December. Would that give -- that gives us time and everything to get it all noticed? De Weerd: And I believe that the offer has been that all of those that have signed up on the sign-up sheet to testify, mailings would be made to them as well? Clarneau. That's correct. De Weerd: Okay. Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Meridian City Councii November 9,2004 Page 6 of 39 Bird: If he's willing to do that, I'm certainly willing to change the date to December 14th, 2004. Rountree: Is that a motion? Bird: That's a motion. Rountree: Second. De Weerd: Okay. It's been moved and seconded to go ahead and put this to December 14th, with the notification going out to those within the typical mailing area, as well as those that were signed up to testify. So, is there any further discussion? Okay. All those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carries. You said aye? Wardle: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Yes. Wardle: Not having been part of the former, I'm just -- I'm going to abstain. De Weerd: Abstain. Okay. So three ayes, one abstain. MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. ONE ABSTAIN. B. Parks Department - Doug Strong 1. Presentation on Adventure Island Playground. De Weerd: Okay. Thank you, Mr. Berg. The Parks Department. Doug, I guess before you go, Mr. Day isn't here yet? Bird: Yeah. He's here. De Weerd: Is he? Bird: He's right there in the back corner. De Weerd: Yeah. Boy, you clean up really nice, Brad. Didn't even recognize you. Well, thank you. Yes. Mr. Strong. Strong: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, you'd like to start, then, with either this -- the Powerpoint presentation or the appreciation certificate. De Weerd: Yes, please.
