Upcoming Events - Shelly Houston MPR Marketing Coordinator Shelly Houston highlighted some upcoming events from a couple of flyers, which were handed out to the Commission and are attached to these meeting minutes. 5. Old Business -NONE 6. New Business a. City of Nampa Pathways Update - Cody Swander Nampa Parks Superintendent Cody Swander provided a presentation about the City of Nampa's pathways system, how it relates to Meridian, and the recent update to their bicycle and pedestrian master plan. In addition, he provided some links to the document: • City of Nampa Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan — January 2020: hftps://www.cityofnampa.us/DocumentCenter/View/I 0859/Nampa-Bicycle-- Peclestrian-Master-Plan --- January -2020 • City of Nampa Bike Et Pedestrian Master Plan Executive Summary - December 2019: hftps://nampa.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?api)id=01474621 85504568ba6540e106fd39cb Commission Feedback: • Director Steve Siddoway - He would like to receive Nampa's pathways GIS layer and incorporate this layer with Meridian's Pathways Map to see how they align. Cody stated he would request this information from their GIS division and get it to MPR staff. Does Nampa intend to own and maintain all of the facilities shown on the map? Or do they intend long term that some of those facilities would be maintained by HOAs or other entities? In going forward, they are asking for the property to be deeded and dedicated to the City of Nampa with the intention of performing maintenance on it as they own it. Presently, they have a hodge- podge of that situation with many places that predate the 2011 plan where a pathway has gone in with an easement and they are on somebody else's property, but they have a legal easement for the pathway to go there. One of the City of Meridian's main pathways—the Five Mile Creek Pathway—was not mentioned in Cody's presentation possibly because it does not enter Nampa's jurisdiction and goes too far north. Cody confirmed the Five Mile Creek Pathway was not identified in their plan. Commissioner Jessica West - When viewing all the pathways where they end close to Meridian, is there a priority, as far as which one will go in first? Nothing has been identified as prioritized at this point. The one pathway that Parks 8 Recreation Commission Meeting Minutes - February 12, 2020 Page 2 of 7 Persons desiring accommodation for disabilities related to documents and/or hearings: Please contact the City Clerk's Office at 888-4433 at least 48 hours prior to the meeting. is making the most progress is the Purdam Drain, which is following development. • Pathways Project Manager Kim Warren - She expressed she was glad to see the plan and would like to see an update to Meridian's Pathways Master Plan. Regarding Commissioner West's comment, Meridian has a bit of action on the Purdam Drain. Currently with the Ten Mile crossing development and west of Ten Mile Road north of the interstate, there are some applications coming in where discussions are being had about a pathway along the Purdam Drain which might be another likely connection. • President Dom Gelsomino - During the campaign last year for mayor, Mayor Simison laid out his vision for Meridian's pathways. What is Mayor Kling's vision for Nampa's pathway system? Getting Nampa's pathways plan updated was a big deal. Cody believes Mayor Kling's priorities are on seeing an increase in pathways. She strongly supported the plan throughout the process. In the applicable areas, what is Nampa filling in the open spaces along pathways with; i.e., trees, indigenous and pollinator plants, etc.? Nampa's focus is mainly getting the asphalt on the ground. in most areas in these developments, they are asking for property 20 feet wide to be deeded and dedicated to Nampa. The pathway standard in their design is 10 feet; therefore, they do not have a lot of room for added landscaped beautification elements. b. Canals Connect Community Coalition Update - Eric Willadsen Et Austin Walkins Eric Willadsen, who is the Conservation Program Manager with the Idaho Chapter Sierra Club, and Austin Watkins with the Idaho Conservation League gave a PowerPoint presentation about the Canals Connection Community Coalition in terms of multi -use bike pathways. Copies of the slides are attached to these meeting minutes. Commission Feedback: • Pathways Project Manager Kim Warren - She thanked Eric and Austin for their presentation. Can Eric share the data with Kim that was presented on pathway safety, which would be very useful in a lot of discussions with HOAs and with plan review in general? Yes. • President Dom Gelsomino - What are they finding about the constituents' opinions, thoughts, and environmental stewardship when it comes to pathways? Eric has been doing open house presentations. People from the northwest Boise neighborhood and staff from US Fish Et Wildlife Service are working on an idea of how to create urban greenways for pollinators and birds. Austin stated they have heard from multiple groups with a variety of different reasons for being involved, including Safe Routes to Schools/getting children to school safely, city representatives/transportation and getting people to and from where they want to be, St. Luke's/how to get staff and patients in and out in an effective manner, etc. President Gelsomino appreciated their answer and suggested the Coalition members reach out to the Meridian Co-op Gardeners who have a community garden and pollinator garden in Julius M. Kleiner Memorial Park. Juli Bokenkamp is keen and focused in expanding her project for pollinator plants. Parks 8 Recreation Commission Meeting Minutes - February 12, 2020 Page 3 of 7 Persons desiring accommodation for disabilities related to documents and/or hearings: Please contact the City Clerk's Office at 888-4433 at least 48 hours prior to the meeting. What is the Coalition's recommendation for cities that are trying to maintain a budget regarding the need for more pollinator plants in terms of promoting plant increase? As on idea, there is the potential for an adopt -a -plant program. Through the Treasure Valley Native Plant Network, there may be opportunities to purchase plants at a reduced cost. Eric will follow up with Commissioner Gelsomino and connect him with one of the members—Shawn Finn. Commissioner Michelle Jensen - As Coalition members go out and give presentations to each of the city commissions and other groups, what is the Coalition asking of them from a championship or support standpoint? What is their end goal as they give these presentations? What can people do to help facilitate what the Coalition is trying to accomplish? From a city leadership perspective, the Coalition would like to see an adoption at some point of a valley -wide master plan. There is a lot of opportunity for economic development. As for as volunteers, identifying opportunities and being vocal champions. Eric also would reiterate that irrigation districts have their purpose with the need and capacity to protect irrigation canals; they are not "the villains." They would also encourage city leadership to take the time to develop those relationships. To that end, has the Coalition asked for representation from the irrigation districts to be committed to their effort? Not yet formally. c. City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan Update - Brian McClure MCD Comprehensive Associate Planner Brian McClure provided a general update about the adopted December 2019 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan via a PowerPoint. Copies of his slides are attached to these meeting minutes. He also provided double -sided handouts of the plan condensed to an overview format (also attached). Commission Feedback: • Commissioner Jessica West - What is the timeline for the MPR Department to review the assigned policies? There is currently not a timeline; it will be at the pleasure of the directors and Mayor. • President Dom Gelsomino - Was there a point in time where a question to the public would have been, "Have you been a long-term citizen of Meridian? Are you a new citizen of Meridian?" Has Brian noticed a difference in who prioritizes what when it comes to parks and the particular aspects of the Comprehensive Plan that affect Meridian's parks from citizen to citizen or demographic area to demographic area? They did not ask how long a citizen has lived in Meridian. They did occasionally ask age questions, but both were intentional. it upset some people, but they were actually very interested in what young people wanted, as they are the inheritors. He asked if there were any plans to have a presence at the Community Block Party this year. If not, have there been any thoughts about handouts or other materials regarding any of their high priority actions? Brian was unaware and would follow up with his director. He commended Brian for his patience, dedication, and commitment toward this project.

Pathways Project Manager Kim Warren - She commented Brian has been a huge help in terms of helping manage the pedestrian GIS layer and as part of this plan has stepped up and updated some of the pathways. He has been an ally, and she thanked him for this. She wanted to let everyone know he has been a real resource for her. Director Steve Siddoway - He inquired if the Open Space Survey went out, which is an outgrowth of the Comprehensive Plan. Cameron Arial is leading this effort, and Brian will find out from him. d. MPR Department Adult Sports Program Update - Maggie Combs MPR Recreation Sports Coordinator Maggie Combs provided an update about the Department's adult sports program via a PowerPoint presentation. Copies of her slides are attached to these meeting minutes. Commission Feedback: • Commissioner Michelle Jensen - She expressed excitement for softball to be held on specific days of the week. • Commissioner Keith Bevan - Maggie noted she is searching for a t -shirt vendor. Is this to make t -shirts for the teams? A lot of youth tournaments across the nation have vendors onsite, so if their child wants a shirt, it usually has a front logo design that is about the tournament, and the back has a list of the team names as a keepsake. Maggie is looking for a vendor (a local one, if possible) that provides onsite printing for customization where they would bring in a heat press. 7. Workshop — NONE Staff Reports MPR Steve Siddoway reported there are lots of moving parts and meetings. • Pathways - Pathways continue to be a big priority. MPR staff members are working on a list of potential pathway projects. • New Community Center - They continue to work and make progress on the community center. He is still hopeful they will have a more formal update on this project as part of the March MPR Commission meeting when he has the initial concept. • Budgets - MPR staff is working on budgets. Steve will be working with the Department's Council Liaison—Brad Hoaglun. Internal base budget meetings kicked off on February 11th. Budget workshops are not until June, so MPR staff has a lot of up front work that they are starting to do now. Around the May -June timeframe is when Steve will provide a more formal budget update when they know what actually is being presented, in terms of requests, etc. MPR Parks Superintendent Mike Barton reported on the following: • Story Walk in Julius M. Kleiner Memorial Park - The Story Walk in partnership with the Meridian Library District will be installed on February 28, 2020. The Mayor's Youth Advisory Council will be out to help mount the pedestals to the concrete pads in the park. A library representative will return and insert the personal stories. • Renaissance Park Art - The art piece in Renaissance Park is finished and installed. Parks ri Recreation Commission Meeting Minutes - February 12, 2020 Page 5 of 7 Persons desiring accommodation for disabilities related to documents and/or hearings: Please contact the City Clerk's Office at 888-4433 at least 48 hours prior to the meeting. • Champion Park Art - A piece of art will be placed in Champion Park as part of the same effort as the Renaissance Park art project. It is scheduled to be installed the week of February 17th. • Discovery Park, Phase 2 - He is working on the design of this phase. The signs for Discovery Park were installed on Friday, February 7th. This is the same artist/ fabricator who did the Renaissance art piece. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is fabulous. The dog sprayers are scheduled to be installed next week. MPR staff is working on the water lines. The company will come out and pour the sono tubes and place the sprayers. Staff will then work on final connections. The sprayers will be up and running in approximately 1-2 weeks. Mike Barton reported on the following on behalf of MPR Pathways Project Manager Kim Warren: • James Court Sidewalk Widening - The contract for this project was awarded and will start construction the first week of March. The City was missing an easement on the final stretch closest to Meridian Road. They have a verbal agreement with the property owners and a settlement amount to purchase/sign the easement, which will then be taken to Council for execution. A contractor change order will be processed to complete the sidewalk widening all the way to Meridian Road where it is currently being widened. This is a huge milestone to have a continuous ten -foot sidewalk from Ten Mile to the Pine/Locust Grove area. MPR Recreation Manager Garrett White reported on the following: • Classes Ft Camps - Jenna Fletcher is on maternity leave but is starting to return to work part-time. A Seasonal Camp Coordinator was recently hired, which has been a huge help. Jenna is piecing together the 2020 Summer Activity Guide. In Jenna's absence, Jake Garro and Garrett have been tag teaming her position; more Jake than Garrett. Jake has also been working on the guide. Garrett has been working on posting all of the 32 job openings for summer camps. • Homecourt - Jake Garro has been working on replacing the court divider curtains this year. The Bay 5 renovations are wrapping up. An Open House is scheduled for Friday, February 14, 2020 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. There will be light refreshments provided. Bay 5 received a new laminate floor which looks like hardwood. There have been rave reviews about community education classes being held in this bay, including tumbling and mommy and me. The restrooms have received positive comments which contain four family restrooms, as well as the men's and women's facilities. Major events, such as basketball, wrestling, and martial arts, have been held. • Special Events - Renee White is constantly working on her events she coordinates and is seeking sponsors. She is even working on Christmas tasks at this time. • Arts Et Culture - Audrey Belnap is overseeing the Meridian Historic Preservation Commission, the Meridian Arts Commission, and the City Hall Initial Point Gallery. She is "drinking from the fire hose" and is doing very well. (President Dom Gelsomino commended Audrey as well who is wonderfully tackling the role of Teen Activities Advisor for the MYAC.) • Sports - The Commission just heard a presentation from Maggie Combs this evening.

The reservation season opened on February 15C. Garrett's Priorities - He has been working on budgets, interviews, MYB agreements, community center tasks, and field reservations. From March through July 2020, all that is left open in terms of fields is a couple of Sunday afternoons. 9. Adjourn Commission President Dom Gelsomino entertained a motion to adjourn the meeting.

The Comprehensive Plan contains a Future Land Use Map (over) as well as goals, objectives, and actions items that relate to implementing the Plan. The Comprehensive Plan is especially important when it comes to the review of development applications. 0 This icon indicates additional information available at links on the next page The purpose of the City of Meridian's Comprehensive Plan (Plan) is to integrate the values of the community into a document that guides the growth and de- velopment of the City. The Plan uses maps, tables, and narrative to describe the City, provide a vision of a desired future, and recommend specific policies and actions to reach that future. The goal of the Comprehensive Plan is to create an effective vision and source document that the general public, developers, and decision makers can use to ensure Meridian is a premier place to live, work and raise a family. Comprehensive Plan Requirements Idaho State code, § 67-6508 (the Local Land Use Planning Act), requires certain elements to be addressed in a Comprehensive Plan. See the right sidebar for more on these requirements. In addition to the state requirements, the City has also chosen to address other elements critical to realizing a successful community. Elements such as community design, arts, historic preservation, and more. In total, there are around 500 Goals, Objectives, and Action Items in the plan, which address these elements. These policies are a critical part of the development review process. At time of application, most projects applying for annexation and zoning or for a rezone are reviewed for compliance with the text of the Comprehensive Plan, including these policies. Page I 1 Title 67 Chapter 65 of Idaho Statute is the Local Land Use Planning Act of 1975 (known as LLUPA). This section of State law both enables and requires that cities and counties in Idaho plan. Not only does this legislation provide a purpose and requirements for plan- ning (see the left), but it also sets up the process and means for how local governments should go about their business. This Statute has been ex- panded several times to include new requirements and provisions, including the following: G Property Rights O Population 0 School Facilities 13 Economic Development 0 Land Use O Natural Facilities 13 Hazardous Areas ® Public Services 0 Transportation O Recreation 0 Special Areas or Sites 0 Housing 0 Community Design O Agriculture 13 Implementation O National Interest Electric Transmission corridors 0 Public Airport Facilities Page 12 CSI\ 11 R EH E Ig6El V ;� P1,ATQT AN OVERVIEW OF THE CITY OF MERIDIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Area Plans The City of Meridian also has several sub area plans, which have specific development goals, guidelines, and in some cases, detailed development standards.
