Hanke: Mr. Mayor, City Council Members, thanks for the opportunity to pray for you and I will be doing it right now and throughout the month. Let's pray. Father God, we thank you for the opportunity to be gathered. We thank you for the gift of the technology that allows the business of the city to continue even in the midst of a global pandemic. God, we pray for the health and welfare of the City of Meridian. Yeah, we know that a city is only as strong as the quality of its citizens and so, God, we pray for a sense of peace and hope among the people of the city and, God, that that would be representative among the City Council Members. I thank you for their willingness to serve and answer the call to lead and pray, God, that you would provide them wisdom, prudence, hope. That, God, you would continue to protect the peace and tranquility of this city and, God, we even ask Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda June 9,2020— Page 36 of 318 Meridian City Council June 2,2020 Page 2of13 that you might instill a sense of peace across our nation, God, we just watch civil unrest take hold and pray that you might protect us from that here, that we might seek a sense of unity and justice together for the good of all citizens in Meridian. We ask these things, Father, for your glory and our good, through your Son Jesus Christ, amen. Thank you, Mayor. Item 4: Adoption of Agenda Simison: Appreciate it. Item No. 4, adoption of -- Bernt: Mayor, are we good? I didn't hear what you said. Simison: Item No. 4, adoption of the agenda. Bernt: Okay. That's what I was waiting for. We are going to change up the agenda a little bit. We had an Executive Session that we weren't able to finish and so we are going to add Item 8, Executive Session for Idaho Code 74-206(d) as Item No. 8. Other than that, I move that we adopt the agenda as amended. Hoaglun: Second the motion, Mr. Mayor. Simison: I have a motion and a second to adopt the agenda as amended. Is there any discussion on the motion? If not, all those in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed nay. The ayes have it. MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. ONE ABSENT. Item 5: Future Meeting Topics Simison: Madam or Mr. Clerk, did we have anybody signed up under five? Item 5. Weatherly: Mr. Mayor, we did not. Item 6: Action Items A. Resolution No. 20-2213: A Resolution Appointing Walter Steed to Seat 2 of the Meridian Transportation Commission Simison: Okay. So, with that we will move into Item 6-A, Resolution No. 2213 appointing Walter Steed to Seat 2 of the Meridian Transportation Commission. So, Council, I had the opportunity to sit down with Mr. Steed, along with our Chair of the Transportation Commission. We had extremely qualified candidates once again for this commission and much like the last one, though, when we have lost a citizen -- a more general citizen, that's what the -- the role that Mr. Steed really kind of comes in, but he comes in with a wealth of knowledge and experience as a former city council member up north where he has spent time on transportation commission related issues up there. So, he is very Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda June 9,2020— Page 37 of 318 Meridian City Council June 2,2020 Page 3of13 familiar with the role of the transportation commission, as well as -- as being an advisory or recommending group to city council. I think the one thing that really was a great addition to his consideration, our Transportation Commission has been looking to get more involved in issues. One of the things they have even talked about doing is should they comment on land use applications. That is something that the transportation commission that Mr. Steed worked on up north did, so he has -- at least has some experience that he could bring to that conversation, if that's the direction the Transportation Commission would like to go in the future. So, with that I heartily recommend him to the seat on the Transportation Commission and would stand for any questions. Cavener: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: No question, just a comment. I think we all received a copy of a letter from Mr. Steed. Appreciate him sending that along to us. And true to his character, he actually attended yesterday's Transportation Commission and is quickly getting up to speed and getting quickly right to work and at least yesterday in a voluntary capacity pending tonight's decision. But with that I would move that we would approve Resolution No. 20- 2213, resolution appointing Walter Steed -- Steed, excuse me, to Seat 2 of the Meridian Transportation Commission. Hoaglun: Second, Mr. Mayor. Simison: I have a motion and a second to approve Resolution No. 22-2013. Is there any discussion on the motion? If not, all those in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed nay. The ayes have it. MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. ONE ABSENT. B. Second Reading of Ordinance 20-1881: An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Meridian, Approving the First Amendment to the Meridian Revitalization Urban Renewal Project Plan, Which First Amendment Seeks to Deannex Certain Parcels From the Existing Meridian Revitalization Project Area; Which First Amendment Amends a Plan That Includes a Revenue Allocation Financing Provision; Authorizing the City Clerk to Transmit a Copy of This Ordinance and Other Required Information to the County, Affected Taxing Entities, and State Officials; Approving the Summary of the Ordinance; and Providing an Effective Date Simison: Item 6-B is a second reading of Ordinance No. 20-1881 and I will turn this over to -- sorry, Mr. Nary, I'm going to ask for your help and on what -- how this is supposed to proceed. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda June 9,2020— Page 38 of 318 Meridian City Council June 2,2020 Page 4 of 13 Nary: Yes, thank you, Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council. So, my -- excuse me. Mr. Arial from Community Development, I believe will start off where we are and, then, there are people that are present to talk about the urban renewal district. So, before you, Council, is the second reading of the ordinance both to remove a section from the existing urban renewal district and, then, to create a new urban renewal district. It has been through the legal process, through the Planning and Zoning Commission for comment. There is a report that's been prepared as required by statute on the viability of the district and the necessity and the need for it. We have -- Mr. Kushlan has been working on this with the property owners, as well as the city, as well as MDC on this. So, we have followed all the legal steps necessary to do this separation and creation of a new district and, again, tonight is second reading. If there are changes to be made to the ordinance after tonight's discussion we can make those changes prior to third reading scheduled for next week. So, that's kind of where we are. I think Mr. Arial wants to kick off the presentation part of the district. Simison: Mr. Nary, do we need to have the clerk -- is there any reading that needs to occur for Items B and C or do we go directly into Item D? Nary: We do not need to read them, unless -- we can read them by title and, then, we can go to Item D. Simison: Okay. Well, with that I would ask the clerk to please read Item 6-B and 6-C by title. Weatherly: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Item 6-B is the second reading of Ordinance 20- 1881, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Meridian approving the First Amendment to the Meridian Revitalization Urban Renewal Project Plan, which first amendment seeks to deannex certain parcels from the existing Meridian Revitalization Project Area; which first amendment amends a plan that includes a revenue allocation financing provision; authorizing the city clerk to transmit a copy of this ordinance and other required information to the county, affected taxing entities, and state officials; approving the summary of the ordinance; and providing an effective date. C. Second Reading of Ordinance 20-1882: An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Meridian, Approving the Urban Renewal Plan for the Union District Urban Renewal Project, Which Plan Includes Revenue Allocation Financing Provisions; Authorizing the City Clerk to Transmit a Copy of This Ordinance and Other Required Information to the County, Affected Taxing Entities, and State Officials; Approving the Summary of the Ordinance; and Providing an Effective Date Weatherly: Item 6-C is a second reading of Ordinance 20-1882, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Meridian, approving the Urban Renewal Plan for the Union District Urban Renewal Project, which plan includes revenue allocation financing provisions; authorizing the City Clerk to transmit a copy of this Ordinance and other required Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda June 9,2020— Page 39 of 318 Meridian City Council June 2,2020 Page 5of13 information to the county, affected taxing entities, and state officials; approving the summary of the ordinance; and providing an effective date. D. Combined Public Hearing for Ordinance 20-1881: Deannexation Plan Amendment) - First Amendment to the Meridian Revitalization Plan and Ordinance 20-1882: Union District Plan Simison: Thank you very much and with that we will move into Item 6-D. I will turn this over to Mr. Arial. Arial: Mr. Mayor, Members of Council, really good to be with you this evening and to be taking this next step in the -- the redevelopment of our downtown. As many of you know -- and I'm sure if you have read from the memo and documentation you know this is a significant step in that direction. You know there has been a lot of work stemming back, you know, years, but, you know, even in current history with the RFP process that was approved by the past Council and the MDC board to move forward with an RFP for, you know, a downtown revitalization project, that response to that RFP stipulated the need for basically the creation of this new district and also there is the deannexation of-- from the old district, so that's kind of the reason you have two resolutions before you and we are really looking forward to the discussion from you all or any comment and, then, also, you know, hearing from the public as well. That, then if there are, you know, any changes to the plan or any modifications we can turn that around prior to the third reading next week. So, just really looking forward to the discussion. I think, hopefully, everyone has received the information and answered any questions that you may have, but open to any of that dialogue now. Just one point of clarification. The reason for the deannexation, of course, is that this is in the existing downtown urban renewal area and because there is limited time left on that in order for the -- the tax increment financing mechanism to be most effective, we need to deannex these properties and create the new districts, so we have a new time horizon. Again, the sole purpose will, then, be to channel this -- the potential revenues into needed infrastructure and public improvements that the city is looking to accomplish. We do have Mr. Kushlan available if you have technical questions towards the plan. I think it is important to note as well previously presented to you guys the eligibility report from Mr. Kushlan and the -- you know, these properties that are included here certainly meet the criteria for blight and qualification for the creation of an urban renewal district and I think it is important to note the fiscal aspect, that's kind of the -- the tail end of my memo there. Really the properties as they exist have a de minimis value and, therefore, if they were to be removed and sit vacant would have very little, if any, impact to the existing district and the revenue collection, but if they do redevelop and the values go up, there is significant opportunity for revenue capture and, therefore, the --the opportunity to do these projects. With that I will conclude and look forward to the discussion. Simison: Thank you, Cameron. Council, do you have any questions for Mr. Arial at this time? Or Mr. Kushlan. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda June 9,2020— Page 40 of 318 Meridian City Council June 2,2020 Page 6of13 Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: I was wondering if-- if there is any relevant update on capital market conditions for the bond issuance and confirmation that the City of Meridian at this point doesn't need to guarantee the issuance or if there is any additional information we should know in light of -- I work in the capital markets and I know many of the markets are disrupted, so I thought we would ask for an update. Arial: Mr. Mayor, Council Woman Strader, a great question. Fortunately for these projects, at least as we envision them, there -- there is no financing -- at least capital markets financing associated with them. So, it is kind of in keeping with our Finance Department and past Council's, you know, policy or unwritten policy that the city doesn't borrow. That being said, this is a partnership with MDC and that's the way we would partner with them and envision that moving forward. But to your -- directly to your question, there is quite a bit of upheaval in the markets. It's hard to, you know, get a stable investor base to actually go and -- go to issuance and so, fortunately, again, we are -- we -- we don't need to -- to go to that extent and we look to capture the revenue over time and do our projects via the public-private partnerships with the -- the winners of the RFR So, fortunately for us we are -- we are -- don't need to get into those muddy waters at this time. Strader: Mr. Mayor, follow up. Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: So, just to put a finer point on it -- and that was my impression, too, but just to make sure I fully understand. My first go around I ask a lot of questions, but I might have more. So, this will be a pay-as-you-go type entity in other words. So, as the receipts come in of-- of the taxes that normally would go to the city, in other words, those -- those funds can be used and directed toward the urban renewal, but at no point would MDC or another entity either incur a legal obligation that the city might have to fulfill or perhaps take on a public-private partnership where we have liability to complete a project. Arial: Mr. Mayor, Council Member Strader, so the -- the way that this is -- is proposed to roll forward is the -- the public-private partnership, the developer, is essentially going to front any of the improvements via their own financing and their own development. Then, the -- the generated tax increment as it flows in would be reimbursable to them basically on a pay for performance basis. So, let's say there is, you know, road improvements or utility improvements that need to be done and those would be fronted by the developer and, then, as that increment is generated MDC in this case -- the revenue is actually floated to MDC. MDC would be obligated to -- to reimburse, but, again, that's all based on agreements that would be in place and, again, they would be performance based. Strader: Mr. Mayor, follow up. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda June 9,2020— Page 41 of 318 Meridian City Council June 2,2020 Page 7of13 Simison: Let me try to get the answer to your question a little bit further. Mr. Nary, if you can confirm. Can MDC obligate the city in the future by their actions to a financial payment of some sort? Nary: So, Mr. Mayor, my camera is not working, but no. So, the city would not ever be under the obligation to pay off the bonds or debts of the original district. Strader: Thank you, Mr. Nary. Simison: Any further questions at this time from -- on this item? Okay. So, Adrienne, I understand we had some people who have signed up to testify? Weatherly: Mr. Mayor, we have one person signed up and that is Bill Truax joining us on the line today. Simison: Okay. I was not prepared with my clock, but I'm getting there. So, Mr. Truax, you will have three minutes to provide comments on this item. If you would state your name and address for the record and I will hit stop when you're done. I see you unmuted yourself, so you're good to go at any point in time, Mr. Truax. Are you there? Council, as we wait for Mr. Truax to hopefully get his audio working, I don't see that we have anyone on -- on the call from MDC at this point in time, at least in -- in the room. Oh, we do have Ms. Squyres there. Truax: Can you hear me? Simison: Yes, we can hear you now. Truax: Okay. For some reason I'm having problems on the audio and visual side, but it sounds like we are good. Bill Truax. Address 999 West Main, Suite 1400, Boise, Idaho. 83702. Thank you all for entertaining the discussion tonight. I didn't really have a whole lot to enter here. I did want to reiterate what has been discussed already and that's that -- that the financing is intended to be carried on the development and -- and that so far the capital markets issues that have been raised are not going to affect this development and I think a lot of that has to do just with the general timing of the execution, as opposed to if we were already underway on trying to raise any financing currently. By the time it comes to market, hopefully, we have got a little bit more clarity and direction. Simison: Okay. Well, thank you very much. Council, any questions for Mr. Truax at this time? Okay. Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: Thank you. Thank you so much, Mr. Truax. I was wondering if you could give us a feel for your end of things. I mean certainty is important to us. I know you did the whole RFP process and went before the previous Council, but, you know, just it would be Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda June 9,2020— Page 42 of 318 Meridian City Council June 2,2020 Page 8of13 great to hear--you're not relying on apiece of financing that's not in place to move forward on -- on the project? Truax: No. I mean the general basis of the TIF itself in the new district is -- is going to rely on the eventual development of the property across the street that is going -- well, our timeline is a little bit shorter than we were expecting on the assumption or the purchase of that property, so the timeline seems to be working out in our favor. We are currently working on design development documents to bring to the city. So, we would have the taxable use on the other side of the street to generate the increment. So, those -- those things appear to be going well. It is still frothy out there, but, again, the multi- family space is a good space to be in and you're talking about a development deal. So, you're presumably beyond the -- the implications of COVID, at least in the near term. Strader: Thank you. Simison: Council, any further questions for Mr. Truax at this time? Okay. Thank you very much. Truax: This is a public hearing. If there is anybody else who is on the line who would like to testify on this item, if you're in the waiting room you can raise your hand and the city clerk can move you in for the conversation, or if you are listening through YouTube and you want to come in, you can dial -- come on over and activate into the meeting through your phone. I don't see anybody raising their hand at this time. So, Council, any additional questions or comments that you would like to make or do I have a motion to close the public hearing. Bernt: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Bernt. Bernt: I move that we close the public hearing. Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Hoaglun. Hoaglun: Second the motion. Simison: I have a motion and a second to close the combined public hearing on Ordinance 20-1881. Is there any discussion? Cavener: Mr. Mayor? Cavener: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: Thanks, Mr. Mayor. Just from a process standpoint would this, then, close the door for any additional public testimony to be received on these items? Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda June 9,2020— Page 43 of 318 Meridian City Council June 2,2020 Page 9of13 Simison: I believe it would, yes. Cavener: Mr. Mayor, a follow up. Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: And maybe Bill can -- can chime in and refresh my memory. We are going to - - a decision will likely be rendered on this next week and I guess I'm just curious if we lose the opportunity to take any additional testimony written or verbal over the course of the next seven days and, if so, I would maybe be more supportive of continuing the public hearing for one additional week, should anybody else from the public would testify. Clearly we are not being overwhelmed with testimony tonight. I don't anticipate it, but I just -- with something like this if there is an opportunity to keep the -- the public testimony open and available, I would think that's something we may want to at least discuss. Nary: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Mr. Nary. Nary: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, Councilman Cavener, that's perfectly fine. I think we have enough space to have it -- again even it were to get delayed an additional week I think we would be fine. If there are no comments and there are no requested changes tonight from the Council that you want us to incorporate into the ordinance -- if there were to be something come in between now and next Wednesday -- or Tuesday, we could certainly address that. I think we would be fine. Cavener: Okay. Then, Mr. Mayor, for the benefit of the public, I'm -- I'm supportive of what we have had before us. I appreciate the work that staff and Mr. Kushlan, the consultant, and Ms. Squyres with MDC, the work they have put into this and it has -- it has addressed many of the concerns that I have had. So, my -- my desire to continue the public testimony is not a nefarious one in nature, but just more of a process standpoint to allow -- any opportunity to allow the public to chime in. In support of this great project and this great idea I think it is well worth it. Simison: And so with that does the motion maker and the second would like to revise their motion or would they like to proceed or is there further discussion on the request from Mr. Cavener? Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor, I'm fine with waiting a week. I don't -- I don't think it changes anything. It's a great project and certainly meets the intent of -- of urban renewal redevelopment. We saw the eligibility report, checks all the boxes, and it's -- it's going to be a great thing, but to leave it open for a week to allow people just an opportunity to comment, I'm fine with that, but I will let the maker of the motion -- motion determine that. Bernt: Mr. Mayor? Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda June 9,2020— Page 44 of 318 Meridian City Council June 2,2020 Page 10of13 Simison: Councilman Bernt. Bernt: I don't mind either. My only concern would be there -- there is a time frame involved in this process and -- and I wouldn't want to delay this -- this -- this time frame based upon this -- you know, keeping the public hearing open for another week. So, if -- if we can confirm that -- that our -- this timeline would be in place with us keeping the -- this public hearing open for another week, then, I would be more than happy to change my motion, but I would like to confirm -- confirm that before I do. Simison: Mr. Nary. Nary: Mr. -- Mr. Mayor, Ms. Conrad, Meghan on the call, has also been working with the property owners as well as working with them on the urban renewal. We could certainly ask her. I'm asking Mr. Baird right now. I do recall that we had put this -- some wiggle room in there in case there were any issues or concerns that were raised. So, I don't think a week is a problem, but if Meghan has a -- a different opinion of that certainly she could tell us. Simison: Meghan, I see you are unmuting yourself. If you wouldn't mind answering that question, so you're -- I guess the public hearing is technically still open, even though we are in a motion, but we can take additional information. Meghan. Conrad: Thank you, Mr. Mayor and Council Members. Can you hear me? Simison: Now we can barely. If you can speak up. Conrad: Okay. I will -- I will yell. We are on a fairly tight turnaround. There are a number of post ordinance adoption actions that need to occur and we need to publish the ordinance, record, and there is another set of transmittal letters that need to go out and the goal is to really have this wrapped up by July. So, with that in mind I suppose it could be pushed for me. Is the -- is it my understanding that the public hearing is open, perhaps the ordinances would still be considered at the -- for the public meeting next week. Simison: I believe that is the case, yes. Conrad: I -- Mr. Mayor and Council, that in pushing the timeline that would be, of course, best in terms of trying to meet these other deadlines we have, but certainly defer to city attorney and Mayor and Council for that decision. Thank you. Bernt; Mr. Mayor, I'm not sure what she just said. Simison: What I heard is there is a lot of stuff that they got to do, but so long as it -- it does not interfere with next week's third reading ordinance, she was deferring to the attorney on this issue. Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda June 9,2020— Page 45 of 318 Meridian City Council June 2,2020 Page 11 of 13 Nary: So, Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, I did -- I just conferred with Ted and, again, we -- we built this one week cushion in there because of what Meghan just stated on the other -- we still have to publish -- remember, our publishing is a week and a half out, because it's published on a weekly basis, and so that's what the concern is. But if -- if we don't change the ordinance next week we don't have a problem. That was the rationale of why we wanted the hearing tonight is that if there were changes we would make the changes tonight for next week and, then, have that for approval. Again, if your preference is to leave it open for a week on the -- on the off chance someone does want to weigh in and, then, we could at least accept it, that's -- that's fine. Like I said, I think we will be okay. Ted -- Ted thinks we will be okay. We have done this before. We try to build the extra week in for that reason. So, I think we can do that if that's your desire. Bernt: Okay. Do it. Mr. Mayor, I would like to rescind my motion and make a new one, please. Simison: Councilman Bernt. Hoaglun: Second consents with the withdraw. Bernt: I would like to make a motion to continue the public hearing until next week. Hoaglun: Second the motion. Simison: I have a motion and a second to continue the public hearing for Ordinance 20- 1881 and 1882 to June 9th. Is there any discussion on the motion? If not, all those in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed nay. The ayes have it. MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. ONE ABSENT. Item 7: Future Meeting Topics Simison: We are at Item 7, Future Meeting Topics. Any items for future meeting topics? Cavener: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: Again, I don't know if a future meeting topic or perhaps maybe just a suggestion for -- as we continue to improve our process. With the packets that we receive on -- on Friday I have been noticing oftentimes some topics don't have really any explanation as to what Council is going to be -- be hearing and I guess maybe just to request that even if there is just a brief paragraph or a couple of sentences, so that we have a good understanding as to what those topics are, it helps me to prepare over the weekend as I'm going through things to have a good understanding about what particular on the topics that we are going to be discussing. On the land use side we have got that dialed down and some of the stuff that we are seeing more and more on our workshops that don't have Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda June 9,2020— Page 46 of 318 Meridian City Council June 2,2020 Page 12 of 13 a lot of explanation. So, perhaps a conversation between you and the Council President about ways that we may be able to improve that, so that both the Council and the public have an understanding as to what's going to be discussed. Item 8: [Amended on to Agenda] Executive Session per Idaho Code 74- 206(d): To consider records that are exempt from disclosure as provided in Chapter 1, Title 74, Idaho Code Simison: With that Item 8. Bernt: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Bernt. Bernt: I move that we go into an Executive Session per Idaho Code 74-206(d). Hoaglun: Second the motion. Bernt: I have a motion and second to go into Executive Session. Clerk will call the roll. Roll call: Bernt, yea; Borton, absent; Cavener, yea; Hoaglun, yea; Strader, yea; Perreault, yea. Simison: All ayes. Motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. ONE ABSENT. Simison: And just a reminder to the clerk that we will be back to close out this hearing once we have finished with that Executive Session. EXECUTIVE SESSION: (6:36 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.) Bernt: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Bernt. Bernt: I move we come out of Executive Session. Hoaglun: Second. Simison: All those in favor say aye. MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. ONE ABSENT. Bernt: Move we adjourn. Hoaglun: Second.
