Police Department: Fiscal Year 2022 Budget Amendment in the Amount of$39,701.00 for Transition of the Current Part-Time Anti-Drug Coordinator Position to a Full-Time Position Simison: So, next up we will go into Department/Commission Reports, Item 16. First item up as a Police Department fiscal year 2020 budget amendment in the amount of 39,701 dollars and it looks like we have Lieutenant Harper. Harper: Good afternoon. I have Kendall Nagy here to potentially answer any questions that you guys may have or give a little more insight into this budget amendment. So, today I'm here to request that amendment -- budget amendment to the FY 22 budget for the part-time Anti-Drug Coalition coordinator being moved to a full-time position. It's a position we have had open now for almost 15 months. We were trying to work on this to accomplish it, obviously, before the FY 22 budget, but it just didn't work out at that time. So, again, we are asking to increase this to a full-time position, which will be an increase of 39,701 dollars as an ongoing cost. I will stand for any questions. Simison: Thank you. Council, questions? Then do I have a motion? Page 42 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. March 22,2022 Page 4 of 14 Cavener: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: If Kendall wanted to say anything I -- you traveled all the way over here. I would hate to -- okay. Yeah. Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: I think this position is incredibly warranted and needed in our community. I'm excited to see this shift. I'm happy to make the motion that we approve the budget amendment in the amount of 39,701 dollars, which would transition the current part-time anti-drug coordinator position to a full-time position. Hoaglun: Second the motion. Simison: I have a motion and a second. Is there any discussion? The only thing I will say is with the opioid settlement coming in I know that there is going to be a lot of busy work to be done to help put those dollars to good use in our community and this will help achieve that goal. So, I'm very happy that we are able to move forward in this direction. So, with that ask the Clerk to call the roll. Roll call: Borton, yea; Cavener, yea; Bernt, absent; Perreault, yea; Hoaglun, yea; Strader, absent. Simison: All ayes. Motion carries and the item is agreed to. MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. TWO ABSENT. 17. Mayor's Office: Overview of Neighborhood Grants Kick-Off Efforts Simison: Next up will be from the Mayor's Office, an overview of the Neighborhood Grant kickoff efforts. Council, want to introduce Molly Medenblik, who has come on board and is now taking this program and moving it forward. So, Molly, I will turn this over to you. Medenblik: Thank you. You got my last name correct, so good job. Simison: I hope so. Medenblik: Yeah. Well, Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, thank you for letting me come before you and kind of give you an update on the Neighborhood Grants program. Like the Mayor said, my name is Molly Medenblik. I would -- I would like to start out by saying thank you to Emily in Legal and Diana in IT. If it were not for them I don't think this would be where it's at at the moment. So, thank you to both of them very very much. So, the -- for an update, the application is officially live. People -- residents or organizations in Meridian can now start applying for this. So, my big pitch at the moment is to kind of Page 43 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. March 22,2022 Page 5 of 14 get the word out that this grant is available to people. But the -- kind of a timeline that we have going on is the applications will be due on May 13th, which is a Friday. I did not plan on that being Friday the 13th. It just so happened to be that way. And so I would really like to kind of ramp up those efforts to let people know that this grant is available. So, when I came on board in January it was kind of a tight timeline to get this kind of off the ground and so I'm happy to say that we are there, but there are some -- there is more work to be done, of course, and as it's the first year we will probably have some hiccups that we will be able to fix along the way. But when the applications are due you guys -- the Council will be kind of deciding what the --what projects will be awarded these funds. I would like to maybe offer that Parks could be a little bit involved in that as well, as this -- they will probably have a lot to do with where the projects are, since it's on public land or an easement, that it will probably be in a park or something like that. So, if I can kind of offer that up that they should be involved a little bit. But as -- there was a little -- some -- some changes along the way of -- we -- just with the -- the timeline changes that I mentioned. The application is due in May. We would like to have projects completed by September 9th. So, that would be kind of a -- a timeline that I'm looking at for-- hopefully for City Council after the applications are submitted to convene and, hopefully, award the project or projects by May 19th. So, I would be happy to kind of discuss this with you further on how we want to -- to work on that, if that's something that you guys would like to -- to change. Obviously, I'm open to that. So, I kind of want to give an update just that we are live ready to go and kind of the timeline. So, if you have any questions I can take them now or answer them at a later date. Simison: Council, any questions? Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Hoaglun. Hoaglun: Molly, did I hear right? The due date is May 13th and, then, the decisions will be made May 19th? Medenblik: Yes, Mr. Mayor and President Hoaglun. Yes, that is kind of a tight turnaround, but, yes, that was -- and so I would like to offer if I could I would be happy to -- as the applications come to me send them along right away, so you can have the option to look at them as they come in. So, it's not kind of all at once you look at the applications. That would be totally up to -- to you guys. Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Hoaglun. Hoaglun: Follow up on that, Molly, because it's not only Council's side of things, but if you include parks and they have things to look at, I just worry about if there is just a surge, everyone waits until the deadline and, then, all of a sudden you have lot of applications --which being the first year the program I don't anticipate, but you never know. You know, Page 44 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. March 22,2022 Page 6 of 14 having staff with all their other work that they have going on that -- where do they fit that in? That's one of my concerns, so -- Medenblik: Mr. Mayor, President Hoaglun, I agree and I think there is kind of some -- concerns were kind of expressed a little bit with Parks as well that that is kind of a tight turnaround and so I was trying to balance that, having -- the applicants have time to get a project done by the end of the fiscal year with -- so, I'm trying to be respectful of everyone's time and I think I'm, unfortunately, short changing someone. So, I'm trying to find that balance. But I'm happy to kind of make adjustment -- adjustments. Simison: And, Council, I think we can work to find something that -- that -- that makes sense, you know, as we move forward. It -- it's probably a little too tight, especially if we are talking about an award by Council on a City Council meeting without being noticed and those type of things. But we can work to set up a time -- knowing well in advance we can set up a time to --to have the information scored and provided back and we can work on that and we will do our best part. But this is a little bit -- you know, in between people and wanting to get a new program off and get--and try to see the benefit and value before we go into the budget session. You know, if we don't see people applying or we see a lot of people applying, it will help us -- help you all determine is this the right amount for this next budget year. Should it be less? Should it be more? So, that's why we definitely want to see what's -- what's coming in and what's of value heading into the budget process. Medenblik: Sure. Perreault: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Perreault. Perreault: So, is this just for individuals or do neighborhood groups and associations -- homeowners associations apply and -- and are you reaching out to them specifically? Medenblik: Mr. Mayor, Council Woman, yes, anyone can apply -- kind of what -- the direction that I took from when I listened to the direction that Jody had taken last May when this was approved, was we didn't really want to exclude anyone; right? Anyone could kind of-- so, I am looking at reaching out directly to neighborhood associations and organizations as well, but also trying to make sure that we are not excluding an individual who may want to apply. Just a regular person, so -- but, yes, I will be reaching out to -- to those as well, so -- Borton: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Borton. Borton: A couple questions. You bet. Molly, remind me. Is this -- is this utilizing funds from last year's -- or I guess this year's budget from last summer, so the applicant knows Page 45 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. March 22,2022 Page 7 of 14 that they -- they have to stay within a set window? Is this the 20,000 dollar window? Fifty? Okay. Thanks. I worry, too, I guess -- it's -- one thing that might be difficult this go around is the folks that don't apply because of quick turnaround. So, two questions I will leave you with to -- I guess to chew on as part of the debrief. One would be after this is done would it be better to -- for this type of program to have kind of that spring window, a longer review time and, then, part of the decision making based upon the applicant's funding in the summer, to, then, do it the next year, so an applicant might have more time -- may be more willing to apply knowing that they have got the next fiscal year to get it -- the actual work done. That might encourage more participation. And, then, the other one is what type of vetting process that might be helpful for the Council to have, whether it's parks or a small committee or somebody review it if there is, for example, 25 grant applications it's probably not productive for us to weigh on all 20 -- and maybe you already have that structure set up, but two things to think about as this program evolves that at least -- Medenblik: If I can respond briefly, Mr. Mayor. Council Member. I -- I think -- and correct me if I'm wrong, Mr. Mayor, but I think the original plan was to kind of have this roll out last summer a little bit, but I think with -- Borton: Sure. Medenblik: -- staff changes it just kind of was a little bit shortened timeline. So, I think we are all on the same page. We would like to give everyone maybe a little bit more time with this. So, I think that's the number one thing to kind of make a mark about for next year. And then -- I had a comment for your second -- what was your second -- Borton: Kind of some -- sort of vetting committee or -- Medenblik: Oh, yeah. Hoaglun: -- group that helps thin the herd a little bit. Medenblik: Yes. So, I have a couple ideas that I would love to maybe kind of run past Council with that a little bit, but for this particular year I have developed -- I have a rough draft of a rubric at the moment that I did kind of run past a few Council Members that I will -- I got to fix it up a little bit and I can send it out to you, so you guys can look at that before you have any projects in front of you. That would, hopefully, be a good starter for -- for all of you, but also kind of what I mentioned, maybe Parks and Rec would probably be a great place to have somebody involved with that and I would be open to suggestions, anybody else with the city that should probably be involved to help you guys make the best decisions, so -- Borton: Great. Thanks. Medenblik: Yeah. Page 46 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. March 22,2022 Page 8 of 14 Simison: Yeah. If I could -- my understanding was it was Council's preference to be the only reviewer, determinator of all of them and not have them weeded out by others. That's the direction that I heard. If that's not the case we are happy to re-address that and we have got time to modify that process. Borton: Mr. Mayor, I'm -- I'm fine with either. I have experience doing the latter as grant reviews for nonprofits and you might have 50 -- even 50 applications, 17 are dead from the word go, which is the nature of receiving applications, so -- Medenblik: Sure. I'm fine if we do it, but I don't know if it's the most productive way to do it. Simison: Fair enough. Council Woman Perreault. Perreault: I appreciate Councilman Borton's thoughts on that as far as the timing of-- of the next-- next go around, because a lot of the homeowners associations especially have their annual meetings in the -- in January, February, March and they may want to add funds to whatever grant they get to work on a project that they have had set aside. So, if that can be done a year in advance and maybe start the applications for next year sooner, then, that may -- we may get more applicants, because not only do they have time to plan, but they have time to plan something bigger if they decide to do it that way. But as far as review goes for me I would rather they all be reviewed by you and, you know, you will have your set of criteria and, then, whoever else -- I -- I'm comfortable with having a committee or the Parks Commission or whoever is decided to review in advance and, then, just get kind of a spreadsheet for us that takes all of the criteria you have decided, plugs that in, whether there is a scoring system or whatnot, and then --and, then, provides that to us. It's really -- it would be challenging for me to read them as they came in and, then, try to remember and go back and reference. I would rather just kind of have -- like you said, it -- say you are doing a rubric of-- yeah. That would be much more helpful and just do it at one time and then -- Medenblik: Sure. Perreault: -- and, then, go that route. Borton: Just one final -- Simison: Councilman Borton. Borton: -- Mr. Mayor. Molly, I think it's great. My comments aren't to disrupt anything or change anything. I know it's an evolving process. We are going to learn a lot from this one, so thank you for tackling it. And, of course, we will make the best of this year and evolve, so good job. Medenblik: Final comments, Mr. Mayor? I just wanted to say thank you to all of you again. Maybe I can kind of send you all an e-mail individually, kind of gather your thoughts Page 47 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. March 22,2022 Page 9 of 14 and, then, kind of compile them a little bit and see what's the best way to move forward with -- for this year specifically, like how to kind of score these projects and what's the best way to move forward. So, if that works for all of you I will be reaching out to you that way. So, great. Simison: Thanks, Molly. Medenblik: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. 18. Parks and Recreation Department: Fiscal Year 2022 Budget Amendment for a Not-To-Exceed Amount of $2,098,000.00 for Lakeview Golf Course Improvements Simison: So, speaking of parks, next item on the agenda is Parks and Recreation Department fiscal year 2022 budget amendment for not to exceed amount of 2,098,000 for Lakeview Golf Course improvements and I'm going to turn this over to -- to Mike. Barton: Good afternoon, Mayor and Council. We were here a couple of weeks ago with you discussing the bid results for the Lake -- Lakeview Golf course capital improvement projects, the irrigation system and cart paths. At that time we gave you three options, one, two and three. There was a variety of costs and, you know how much -- how much do you want to move forward with at this time or do you want to do something this year or some next year? It was Council's preference to move forward with option one, which included the entire irrigation system replacement, including the -- a new pumping system and, then, also concrete cart paths and, then, at that time we talked about budget and what we have in our existing budget and if we do move forward with this that we would need to come back with a budget amendment that was discussed a little bit. So, our existing budget right now is 2.69 million. Seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars of that came from WARD's contribution this year via the -- the Meridian Pool Agreement. So, in order to move forward with a contract for that option one, we would need a budget amendment of 2,092 -- two million 98 thousand. Got that right. It's not that cheap. And this -- this is the amount that we had as a placeholder in the CFP for FY-23. So, if this budget amendment is approved, then, that placeholder would go to zero. So, with that I will stand for questions. Simison: Thank you. Council, questions? Borton: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Borton. Borton: I think I was gone from the meeting, but I didn't watch it and fully support all of Council's decision on that option to go forward with this budget amendment. Cavener: Mr. Mayor? Page 48 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. March 22,2022 Page 10 of 14 Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: No other questions, I'm happy to move that we approve the Parks and Rec budget amendment for 2022 for not to exceed amount of 2,098,000 dollars for Lakeview Golf Course improvements. Perreault: Second. Simison: I have a motion and a second to approve Item 18. Is there any discussion? If not, Clerk will call the roll. Roll call: Borton, yea; Cavener, yea; Bernt, absent; Perreault, yea; Hoaglun, yea; Strader, absent. Simison: All ayes. Motion carries. Thank you. MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. TWO ABSENT. 19. Construction Contract Between the City of Meridian and Lexicon, Inc. dba Heritage Links for Public Works Construction of Lakeview Golf Course Irrigation and Cart Path Improvements in the Not-To-Exceed Amount of $4,379,150.00 Simison: We will leave you there for the next item, too. Barton: I'm up -- I think I'm up next. Simison: Item 19, construction contract between the City of Meridian and Lexicon Incorporated, dba Heritage Links for public works construction, Lakeview Golf Course. Barton: Mr. Mayor and Council, now that we have the money, we are asking for your approval of a contract to Heritage Links in the amount of 4,379,150 dollars. The -- the bid results were right in line with our opinion of cost. It was about as close as you could possibly get, even though we had one bid. We -- we have a contractor that comes highly recommended from other golf courses and they are ready to go and -- and start this June. So, with that I would ask for your approval or -- and I will stand for questions. Simison: Thank you, Mike. Council, any questions? Perreault: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Perreault. Perreault: Thank you. Mike, remind me -- there is a contingency built in here; right? And -- I mean you never know when you are going to start digging stuff up what you are going to find, especially with irrigation, so -- Page 49 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. March 22,2022 Page 11 of 14 Barton: Yeah. Absolutely. Mr. Mayor, Council Woman Perreault, in addition to some Idaho Power connection fees and construction administration, we have a five percent contingency on top of that in our budget. So, for that unforeseen, you know, circumstance -- we need to bore under some streets and dig around utilities and we just -- we don't -- we don't know, so yeah. Simison: Please -- please don't hit any water and sewer lines. Barton: We are going to -- absolutely not to try. Cavener: Anybody got any salt? Barton: Yeah. Borton: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Borton. Borton: You got the state's best procurement champion here. So, I got to call him up and --just anything, Keith, that you think we ought to know or be aware of on this? Watts: No. Like Mike said, the company is highly recommended. They had great references. The bid did come in right at near our estimate and I think they are good to go. They have their bonds and insurance everything ready. We are ready to roll. Borton: Okay. Good. Thanks. Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Hoaglun. Hoaglun: Question, Keith. Is it just the nature of the busyness out there that we are just -- Watts: It is. We -- we actually sent it directly to five contractors that were -- seemed to be interested and I can tell you we had an unbelievable amount I believe -- 15 different agencies picked up the bid and looked at it -- or firms and bid -- bid rooms. It got out there. It got lots of advertising. Yeah. I didn't hear anything negative about our -- the biggest thing when we get a single bid is that there is a problem with the specs and plans. That was not the case in this instance. We just have to assume people are busy. It's not uncommon right now to get one or none. It's tough. Perreault: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Perreault. Page 50 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. March 22,2022 Page 12 of 14 Perreault: Mike, what's the Parks Department's plan for public awareness, notifying neighbors in that area and notifying players, season pass holders? Barton: Great question. So, we have -- the golf course has a website that -- that everybody is on a -- on a list that if you have ever played a round of golf at Lakeview you are on a -- you are on an e-mail list. So, we can send a blast out that way. We can communicate through NextDoor. I was going to put up some project boards in the clubhouse so people could kind of get excited about the improvements. As -- as we get a little farther into it we -- we can -- we can have an in-person meeting every other week at the clubhouse. Yeah. In -- in the morning during business hours, so if somebody has a concern or they want to meet the team, you know, we could get him involved that way. So, until -- well, if it -- if everything goes well tonight we will have a -- we have the budget and we will have a contract. We need to get a firm start date and, then, we will put in place a good -- a good communication plan to get-- to keep people informed. I mean the last thing -- what we want to do is we want to be proactive and get -- get that information out. We don't want to be reactive, because it's way more worse that way, so -- we will -- we will do our best to communicate early and often. Simison: Council, any further -- Cavener: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: Mr. Mayor, we knew when we began this process a long time ago this was part of the initial conclusion, so I'm happy to move a -- make a motion that we approve the construction contract between the City of Meridian and Lexicon, Inc., doing business as Heritage Links for the public works construction of Lakeview Golf Course irrigation and cart paths improvements for a not to exceed amount of--oh, boy, here we go --4,379,150 dollars. Perreault: Second. Simison: I have a motion and a second to approve the contract. Is there any discussion? Cavener: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: Mike, Keith, kudos to you and your team to get this moving and grooving and appreciate your help and insight. It's helpful. Barton: Really, Mayor and Council, I just -- I -- I want to -- I want to let you know how -- how Keith really pushed to get this to go back and forth with the company and prioritize this, because we were --we were kind of in a -- in a tight window, because they were only Page 51 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. March 22,2022 Page 13 of 14 going to hold their price for 30 days, so -- and Purchasing Department, Legal Department, Ted Baird really stepped up and made it happen. Watts: Thanks, Mike, for that. That is something to -- to point out and to keep in mind that -- that having somebody keep their bid for 30 days is even tough right now, so I appreciate you guys acting quickly. Future bids I think we are running into -- just to let you know future -- we are running into situations where some products they won't even give you a price at this point. They are long lead times, big dollars, and they just -- right now our suppliers are telling us we will tell you what it costs when it comes in, because they can't get a price from the manufacturer. It's just getting worse by the day. Just to give you a heads up that's what we are after. So, I -- I appreciate you guys acting fast on this and -- and letting us turn this guy loose. Simison: Thank you, sunshine. With that we do have a motion. Any further discussion? If not, all in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed nay? The ayes have it and the contract is agreed to.
