Berg: Thank you Mr. Mayor members of the Council
Item 1.
Rollacall Attendance:
-X Tammy de Weerd X- Ron Anderson
X Cherie McCandless X Keith Bird
- ---X.Mayor Robert Corrie
Berg: All are present.
Corrie: Okay. Thank you. First off I want to welcome especially welcome to the
troop 62 from the Meridian Group. If it wasn't for you guys we might not have too
many people here tonight. Thank you for attending and I hope we do some civic
classes for you and see how the City C Council does the business of the city.
Item 2.
Adoption of Agenda:
Corrie: Item NO.2 is the adoption of the agenda. I would like to add one thing if I
might. Tom has requested under Parks and Rae. department to talk to you about
the bid of the tiling and the 56 acre park. He had a new one come in and he
would like to talk to you about that. Then also to set a time on the agenda to give
the county - I think Will was that the date of our Public Hearing? - date of our
Public Hearing and we need to set that tonight. Is there any other additions or
corrections for the (inaudible)?
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor
Corrie: Mrs. De Weerd.
De Weerd: If the rest of the council would agree if we could move NO.4 up above
department reports.

Corrie: Okay. Do I hear any objections to the request? Okay, hearing none, so
be it. Okay. I'll entertain a motion for the adoption of the agenda.
Bird: Mr. Mayor
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move that we adopt the amended agenda by adding under Parks and
Recreation and item 5 bid on tiling of 56 acres of ditch. Item 5 Public Hearing
date for the taxation and changing item 4 to between two and three.
De Weerd: Second.
Corrie: Okay. Motion's been made and seconded on the motion to adopt the
new agenda. Any further discussion? All in favor of the motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Item 3.
Presentation by Idaho Power Company M Future Power Needs
by Layne Dodson:
Corrie: Item No.4 will be NO.3 at this point and we will have the presentation by
Idaho Power Company Future power needs by Layne Dodson.
(inaudible discussion amongst Council)
Dodson: Mr. Mayor, members of Council, members of the staff and honored
guests. It's a pleasure. My name's Layne Dodson with Idaho Power the
community relations representative for this area. We appreciate the opportunity
to come out and speak with you. You for the problem third or fourth times. Mr.
Mayor we appreciate your patients with this presentation. With all the news that's
going on with the energy situation in the west and also locally with a new
generation being proposed fOf the area, new substations, new facilities being
erected all around the area, we thought it was prudent to get in front of the folks
that have the jurisdictions to let them know what our future plans hold as far as
this essential piece of infrastructure that we're providing out there. We rely on
you folks at times to make decisions on improving and facilities and routes and
working with the continuants out there to approve these things and make this
electrical system work to the benefit of everyone. What we've got today for you is
a discussion on the kind of the regional picture of energy. Some of the local
concerns and plans we've got going fOlWard and we're going to look out a
number of years out to an ultimate build up of the Treasure Valley. And also look
at some of the short-term projects that would be effecting the Treasure Valley
here within the next, well starting immediately and going into like the next ten
years. Kent McCarthy is kind of the driving force behind the presentation tonight.
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 3
He is an engineer in our distribution-planning department and so he's in charge
of putting these plan together and meeting the electrical needs of the region. At
this point I'm just going to turn it over to Kent and let hini go through his
presentation. Thank you.
Corrie: Thank you.
McCarthy: Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Council thank you for having
us to show this presentation. If you'll hold on for just a second, I'll get this thing
turned on. We set out 2 years ago to put together a plan for the Treasure Valley
how we're going to serve the Treasure Valley far into the future and we looked
out much further into the future than most people have looked out into the future.
We wanted to see what we wanted this valley to look like when we were finished
building it or what we wanted our power system to look like when the valley is
finished growing. I want to start out the presentation though, before I get into
talking about our plans, I want to talk about the energy issues in the United
States right now. I think that's of interest to everybody here. The United States is
divided up into ten separate regions. Idaho belongs to the western systems
coordinating councit These regions are - their purpose is to handle the reliability
of the electrical system throughout the United States. This is a voluntary
membership of power companies, power providers, generators, power
marketers, anybOdy that has anything to do with electrical systems belong to
these reliability councils. They are voluntary at this time but there's a big move
and it's being driven by the North American electric reliability council to. bring
them under the Department of Energy which will probably be done fairly soon. In
the west, the western system coordinating council is made up of all the states
west, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and west of there. It also includes the 2
provinces of Canada, Alberta and British Columbia. Plus, it's not shown here but
it includes northern Baja California and Northern Senora State in Mexico. These
are all interconnected by high voltage transmission lines. Anything that is done in
Idaho can effect the power in Mexico. If we lose a major transmission line
through Idaho the power can go out as far as south of San Diego and Mexico
and as far north as British Columbia. We trade power over those same
powerlines. We can buy power over those power lines. We sell power over those
lines. It's a great interconnection and if one part of it, hopefully we have enough
redundancy in the system that it stays together. But with the power system the
way it is now, with the lack of generation that's been built, it's becoming much
more fragile.
Anderson: What do the colors indicate on the map?
McCarthy: Those are the voltage to the lines. These are the actually extremely
high voltage lines. The red lines would be 230,000 volts. The blue lines are
SOO,OOO-volt DC lines. The green lines are 500,000 AC lines. This is Idaho Power
system cute little cartoon that shows you - the light bulbs up there are our major
load centers of Boise and Twin Falls and Pocatello. You can see, we have the
hydro facilities on the Snake River. That's really the only generation Idaho Power
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 4
has in the state of Idaho. We have 1300 megawatts on the Snake River that's
actually in the state of Idaho. We also have the oxbow dam and the hells canyon
dam that are on the snake river but they are actually in Oregon: The reset of our
power is from our ownership in three coal fire plants. One in Wyoming which is
the Jim Bridgert plant, we own a third of that plant. The Balmy, which is in
northern Nevada, we own half of that. Boardmen, we own a tenth of that and
that's in Oregon. We trade and sell and receive power through these different
transmission lines. You can see up there Pacific Core from the west and Sierra
Pacific from the south and on around. We're well interconnected with everybody.
We depend on their power to help us keep our system up. Our generation
resources in Idaho, this is Department of Energy information. There's 3,000
megawatts of generation in the state of Idaho, This isn't Idaho Power generation,
this is everybody. This is us and Vista and any other co-generators that are in the
system. There's 3,000 megawatts in Idaho. Between 1988 and 1998 there was
360 megawatts of generation added in the state of Idaho and a lot of that was
improvements to our hydro facilities plus Vista added a gas turbine up in northern
Idaho and some more co-generators came online. The important point is Idaho is
a net importer of energy. We don't produce enough energy within the state to
provide our means. We have to draw it in from the outside to provide our needs. I
just wanted to quickly compare it to California. California has 52,000 megawatts
of generation and between those same ten years they've lost 2,785 megawatts of
generation. I think that's mostly due to retirement due to old age on plants. One
nuclear power plant there and some old oil fire plants went down. The point is
they didn't replace that generation. They've actually gone down well the rest of
the west has pretty well stayed stable or added a little bit. It's interesting to note
that California's decrease nearly equal to our entire generation base. Energy
market, in the summer of 1999 the cost for energy on the market was 2.9 cents
for a kilowatt~hour, compare that with your residential rate of 5 cents a kilowatt-
hour. Prices this summer are predicted to be 47.5 cents a kilowatt-hour to buy on
the market. We need to buy about 20 percent of our energy on the market so
that's where our upper rate pressure is. Going back to that last slide I want to
point out, you notice in 1999 the price of power was 2.9 cents per kilowatt-hour. It
made it much more economical to buy power on the market than to build a
generating plant because that power out of a gas turbine power plant might cost
6 cents a kilowatt hour. During those market times, it was much better for us to
be on the market than to be building our own generation with the turn around in
the market at this point it makes much more sense to build our own generation.
Now I'll get into the Treasure Valley system. In the study that we undertook, we
see that Treasure Valley as everything excluding the areas east of Caldwell. We
go down south into the Birds of Prey and the public lands there and then east
over into the Boise foothills and then north but not quite as far as Emmett. The
700 square miles of usable land ion that area. When I say useable that green
area actually represents over 900 square miles but there's golf courses and
highways and different things within that 900 square miles that we've subtracted
out. We think there's 700 square miles of useable land and our peak last year
was 1,620 kilowatts, or megawatts, I'm sorry was our load. Remember that last
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 5
number there. We have 28 existing sub stations in the Treasure Valley. I don't
have a pointer but that little triangular shape right there in the middle is Meridian
sub station. You can see it's kind of chopped off. The rest of them are diamond
shape. Meridian's is kind of constrained. We're trying to keep that constrained
north of the freeway.
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
McCarthy: This is the Meridian Sub station. The new sub station we have
planned coming up this year will be down to cover this area down here and that
will actually fill this out to be a diamond because these are both considered
partial sub stations. They're not fully built. We don't have the space to actually
make these into a full-scale aD-megawatt sub station. It'll be smaller than that.
Each one of these diamonds represents 8 square miles. Thafs a service territory
assigned to each sub station. When we get into the higher density urban areas
the substations but up right against each other. When we get out here further,
that same sub station can serve a much larger area because there's a lower load
on the transmission lines and distribution lines. The higher the load is on the
distribution lines, the less distance they can carry the energy. This is our existing
transmission system. We're bringing power to the valley on these 230,OOOwvolt
lines which are the gold color. It's interesting to point out in the Treasure Valley
the only two generation sources we have are Lucky Peak at 80 megawatts and
swan falls which is 40 megawatts. Every other ounce of power into the valley is
transferred via high voltage transmission lines.
Anderson: You guys don't own Lucky Peak do you?
McCarthy: No but it goes into the pool.
Anderson: That power, you buy it, or does it go to Seattle?
McCarthy: That goes to Seattle but it does help us with our voltage support in the
valley so it can be considered in our control area as a generator that supports the
area. The blue lines are 138,OOO-volt lines and the pink ones are 69,DDD-volt
lines. We see four growth drivers in the Treasure Valley or really any place,
customers, population, industry, transportation and natural resources. Those first
three are very interdependent. Once you bring in industry, you bring in more
population, needs transportation, brings in more population. It's a circle and of
course we're in the middle of that circle right now. We grow with no reason. In the
Treasure Valley we don't even have to have new industry show up and we still
grow. In the Treasure Valley we see land as a limiting resource. Some people
see water as limiting resource. We don't think water is necessarily the limiting
resource in this valley. I personally believe that if a population moves to an area
they can find the water if it has to be shipped in they can find water to make an
area grow. The projected Treasure Valley population in 75 years is 1.6 million
people using a 2 percent average annual growth rate. That's off the Boise
Meridian City Council Meeting
Aprif 24, 2001
Page 6
metropolitan study area data. Over the past 20 years it projected out another 20
years, the average growth rate was 2 percent. We just projected that out over 75
years and said on average we're going to have 2 percent. Sometimes we know
its going to be 4 percent, sometimes we know it might go negative but on
average it'll be 2 percent. This gives us an average 10 megawatts per square
mile over the entire valley over that density which brings us to a total build out
load at 7,000 megawatts. Now remember that number back there was 1620
megawatts so that's a tremendous growth or a tremendous amount of power we
have to provide. Supply requirements to serve that 7,000 megawatts we're going
to need a lot of high voltage transmission lines or a lot of locally sighted
generation. In my mind the locally sited generation is the best answer. If you put
in a generator you're going to effect a couple dozen homes in the area that
you're putting the generator. If you put in a transmission line to carry that same
amount of energy, you're going to effect thousands of people along that
transmission line route. As a society we have to decide do we want to effect
thousands of people or do we want to effect a couple dozen. The effects
individually on each one is probably the same but you have to stand back and
see which one is better for society as a whole I guess. This is our future sub
station territories. 75 years from now, building up to that we see 66 new sub
stations in addition to those 28 sub stations we already have. This is just again
the diamond showing the service territories. The red ones are all urban type sub
stations packed in close together. There's no land underneath not shown there.
The green ones are suburban and blue ones are rural sub stations on the edges.
You can see that as we move out that they go further apart because we start
ending up having some farms left over hopefUlly and a lot of ranch adds 20 acre
parcels, 5 acre parcels so that the land density or the low density is much lower.
Treasure Valley transmission strategy. This is a, kind of a drug-crazed spirograph
here. We're looking at building a number of hub sub stations which would be
these yellow ones served by these high voltage 230 or 345 volt transmission
lines and the actual transmission out to the distribution sub stations which are the
ones we have in our neighborhoods, would be 138,000 volts served on a loop so
there's redundancy. If part of that loop goes down it can still receive power. Now
the green is our extremely high voltage transmission lines would be required to
bring more power into the valley. These stars at the end that I've labeled as
generation those are just fictitious points for our study. We don't know where the
generation would be or if it's just going to be transmission points. For 2001 we
have budgeted nearly 40 million dollars for Treasure Valley projects, 130 projects
total. That number's going down a little bit because of all of our troubles with the
power supply right now. We're having to decrease cost and cut things where we
need to. It's staying quite high because the projects that we have budgeted for
this year are quite necessary. We really need to have these projects in place. So,
if it's a really necessary project for reliability or safety or just to serve new
customers, we have to put it in. In 2001 we are putting in tow new sub stations.
One of them of course is this what we're calling right now Stoddard sub station
located down near Roaring Springs and this one up here is Joplin sub station
located at the corner of Chinden and Cloverdale across from Hewlett Packard.
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 7
You notice this is a weird shape too. The reason for that is it's kind of a fill in sub
station. It's a sub station that we never intended to really put there but we were
forced to put in a new sub station to fill in some of the needs.
Anderson: Is that where they leveled that lot right by that cemetery? I was
wondering what that was. It looked like a parking lot.
McCarthy: Yeah.
Bird: I've already got -
McCarthy: Wait until you see that. It's going to be pretty. We're having to put up a
whole bunch of - a lot berming and fencing and trees, full grown trees in the sub
station. It's going to be a very nice looking sub station.
Bird: Is that a big enough area for, well that ain1t a very big area for a sub station.
McCarthy: We can put a sub station in a, you know one and a half acre plot.
Bird: Is that one Clnd a half acres?
McCarthy: I don't know what that one is. Is that one two?
Bird: Just short? Is it that big? It didn't look that big.
McCarthy; Yeah.
Bird: It is a very odd shape.
McCarthy: Which makes it more difficult to build it too.
Bird: I'll bet.
McCarthy: In 2002 we're going to add an additional 2 sub stations one at Harris
Ranch and one southeast of Caldwell. The one at Harris Ranch is a little bit in
question right now, We're having a little bit of a battle with the developer out
there right now. In 2003 a Kuna sub station which we're tentatively locating just
south of the railroad tracks in Kuna. Between 2004 and 2010 we have a
scattering of other sub stations. These two in the foothills we're very reactionary
on those ones. If we don't know what's going to happen with foothills
development. Those might come and if they do we'll build the sub stations. We
need more in the, more foothills type sub stations because it's hard to run
transmission lines or distribution lines through the foothills. So, we have to put in
more sub-stations to feed a smaller load.
Bird: Where's that one, that 5 one in Meridian, is that out by-
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 8
McCarthy: Yeah That Is Ten-Mile sub station.
Bird: ~- Ten Mile sub station?
McCarthy: Yeah. This up here is Star sub station.
Bird: Okay.
McCarthy: Then 2010 and beyond we have another scattering of sub stations.
This one will be the corner of Amity and Eagle, is that correct, Layne?
Layne: That's been proposed.
McCarthy: Proposed, I'm sorry.
Bird: At Amity and Eagle?
McCarthy: Amity and Eagle would be the desired location for that. Then over
here, I'm not sure if that's been designated exactly yet. (inaudible) As you can
see, as we're close to the urban density up here where it's the higher density, we
really need to have these sub stations cleanly butting up against each other,
other wise we have to do some kind of extraordinary means to connect it
together.
Bird: If you can't put them up together, you've got more cost in transmission lines
and stuff don't you?
McCarthy: Yes.
Bird: Quite a bit more expensive?
McCarthy: Right. We prefer to build as close to a corner as possible too because
each one of these sub stations will have 8 feeders coming out of it and 2 going in
each direction. So, if we're right at a corner, it's ideal. We could head each
direction. If we're within a quarter of a mile of that corner's still okay. If we get into
the middle of the section then all of a sudden we have to run four lines and
additional half a mile and that's many hundreds of thousands of dollars in
addition to the original concept. In closing, Idaho Power will make significant
investments in generation, transmission and distribution in the coming years. In
the Treasure Valley alone, we're growing about 30 to 50 megawatts. Compare
that to our system we're growing about 70 megawatts in the entire system. We're
definitely the lion's share which is no surprise to anybody here. We know it's
imperative that we work with all the regional planning and city councils and all the
different planning clients to get these things put in. As regional infrastructure
improvements Idaho Power would really like to be involved in these way up front
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 9
if we can. It takes a lot of years to build anything. In closing; it is our desire that
Idaho Power be that our transmission and distribution lines be considered
transportation components. We don't transport or people or goods but we do
transport energy just like the gas company does. As I was pointing out yesterday
to Mayor Corrie that when we drive down to Salt Lake City, the ideal corridor to
me is just north of Salt Lake City, there's a 10 lane freeway going down and right
next to that freeway is a railway line and right next to that railway line is a
transmission corridor with 3 or 4 high voltage transmission lines and there's a
communication line going through there. IVe got to believe that there's also a gas
line so it's an ideal transportation corridor, something like what I would envision
our Union Pacific right~of~way through here would be an ideal resource for that. Is
there any questions?
Bird: I've got a question.
McCarthy: Yes.
Bird: It might not be Kent, why can't most of your high power lines go
underground? How come they still have to stay overhead?
McCarthy: If it's the very high voltage power lines, the 230 you can put those
underground for a very short distance but it's an absolutely tremendous cost.
Bird: Okay.
McCarthy: Where a 230,000 volt line might cost you 3 or 4 hundred thousand
dollars per mile to build, if you put it underground you're talking 10, 20,30 million
dollars per mile. The same is actually true with 12,500 distribution lines too but
it's not quite as extreme in cost difference. I don't believe there's any real good
way to transmit power underground with 500,000 volts yet. There are some
concepts out there, there are some cables out there that can do that but they're
high.pressure cables. They have to put a fluid around them to keep them cool
and keep them under pressure. They generally tend to put those under the ocean
as a submarine cable.
Bird: Is it the heat build up that does the underground?
McCarthy: Yeah.
Bird: That's what I kind of thought. It was heat build up.
McCarthy: There's a very special dielectric on the cable and again you can also
put the high~pressure hydraulic fluid around the cable to keep it cool but that's a
big failure component.

Bird: Then I suppose it's a lot more costly to any service, any breaks or anything
if it's underground.
McCarthy: Absolutely. A lot of people would like us to put power lines
underground and we would like to put power lines underground except that the
cost of those power lines would have to be paid for by the people wanting them
to be put underground. Otherwise that would be driven against our rate base, our
ratepayers right now.
Bird: Okay. For generation, Idaho Power ever looked into these little nuclear
plants or anything like that? I understand they're very very safe. They don't use
that much nuclear energy.
McCarthy: That's actually a good question. I use to work at the INEL, the INEEL
now. I've always been a proponent of nuclear power other than I hate working at
the power plants. They're a big hassle to get anything done at. But I really don't
see that happening very near in the future and maybe never in Idaho.
Bird: California has had some success with a small nuclear plants as I have
heard. Is that true?
McCarthy: No. I don't believe that is true.
Bird: That isn't true?
McCarthy: No. They've been losing power plants. They haven't been building any
nuclears.
Bird: Okay.
McCarthy: We lost 40 megawatts of nuclear power when President Clinton took
office in the state of Idaho because he shut down the experimental reader reactor
at the INEL that was actually producing 40 megawatts on to the grid.
Bird: So, what is Idaho Power's plan, coal fired?
McCarthy: Right now if's -
Bird: Hydro is, or natural gas-
McCarthy: Right now it's natural gas.
Bird: Hydro is out of the question with -
McCarthy: Yeah. Certainly. I don't think we can find very much-
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 11
Bird: for right now.
McCarthy - there are some plans to increase the production at existing plants
adding a generator or improving the efficiency of existing plants.
Bird: Is Lucky Peak? I think they're generated out, aren't they? Can they add
another generator?
McCarthy: I don't know. That's a city -
Bird: How about yours on the Snake? Hells Canyon -
McCarthy: Swan Falls?
Bird: Well, Hells Canyon and them?
McCarthy: I believe we have some plans on adding a generator up in Hells
Canyon --
Bird: Okay.
McCarthy: -- some tentative plans -
Bird: How many kilowatts or megawatts -
McCarthy: It wouldn't be very big.
Bird: How much does a generator bring out?
McCarthy: It depends on where it's at. One of the big hydro generators might be
120 megawatts. Some of the smaller ones get down to 2 or 3 megawatts.
Bird: What kind of foot pressure water do you have to push through to get those
to turbine out?
McCarthy: I don't have a number on that. I don't have a number on it. There's are
all fairly high head pressure or high head turbines. A lot of falling water on those.
I want to point out that we are going to be adding gas generation in the valley. A
lot of people say well with the price of natural gas being so high isn't that a stupid
decision? I come back to say, it's the best decision is to have a large
diversification of your portfolio just like your stocks and bonds so we have hydro
and we have coal. Now we'll have natural gas so as one goes up, generally the
other two don't go up at the same time except this year when we have no water
and no gas at the same time. Pretty unique year.
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 12
Bird: Where are you going to put these? Where's the plants for the gas
generation?
McCarthy: Of course we have the one plant for Middleton, the Idawest plant -
Bird: Yeah the one that they're going to-
McCarthy: -- and we have 90 megawatts of gas turbines just today being
approved to be put in down in Mountain Home. You know J would like to see
more small gas turbines sprinkled throughout the region as opposed to large
plants located where we need high voltage transmission bringing power to us.
Bird: That's what I was just going to ask you, why wouldn't it be more feasible
where the Treasure Valley is where most of the growth is going within your Idaho
Power area, why wouldn't those plants be better served in Kuns, that area where
you wouldn't have to be bringing those high voltage transmission lines in so
much?
McCarthy: That would be the ideal, I believe. It's extremely hard though to get
through the public pressures and the permitting, especially in the Treasure Valley
since we're not a (inaudible) area. We have to go through a lot more permitting to
actually put any kind of generation resource here if it's a permanent resource.
With out diesel engines we're putting in this summer, we got a variance on those
on the permitting because they are just temporary. If they were going to be
permanent we'd have to go through an awful long period of permitting to get
those put in.
Bird: Do you have - do you like to keep those close to the natural gas, the main
natural gas line?
McCarthy: Certainly and also high voltage transmission lines so you look for a
convergence of both natural gas and transmission -
Bird: See that's why I was going to say south of Kuna, out there by swan falls.
You have the lines already lined out there. I don't know if the gas line goes that
close. I think it does, I think it comes down in that area. I don't know.
McCarthy: I don't think it's quite down in there. I think it's east of there.
Bird: East of there? Okay.
McCarthy: I think it's in the Birds of Prey area where you have to be careful
building anything.
Bird: Yeah. That would be impossible.

De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. De Weerd
De Weerd: Kent, in locating your sub stations, it looks like you have a pretty
forward thinking plan. Do you work with the municipalities on specific locations as
well as the development community to let them know where these are located so
those can be noted on plats, or, you know - I guess probably the most difficult
thing you run into is public acceptance of where you're going to locate these.
Even though you've had the land before the subdivisions that surround it, no one
knows they're going to be there.
McCarthy: We'll learning that lesson. Especially with the turn down of our Eight
Mile sub station down south. The one that was at Eight Mile and Victory. We've
learned that we really have to be out for, we knew that some day it was going to
start happening, that we'd get permitting turndowns. We didn't expect it ever to
happen in that particular location. So. From that point forward we're being more
forward with our plans. We've had these plans for a long time but we haven't
shared them out very far. We've been fearful of competition quite frankly. People
getting hold of the information and saying awe, they're going to put a sub station
here so I'm going to buy this land and hold it and sell it to them. Well, that's
turned out to be pretty ridiculous since people want to sell us an acre of land for
$200,000 anyway. So, now we're going more forward and trying to share out as
far as possible and we are meeting with the P&Z Commissions. We haven't met
with Meridian yet but we're planning on doing that. We have met with Ada County
Commission. We have met with Boise City Planning Commission. This Stoddard
site was actually an agreement with Ada County. We went to them and said okay
we did this wrong. We didn't come to you first. Tell us where's a good place to
put this in this general area and where can we run the transmission lines and
they suggested that we put it down at that corner, that general corner and run the
transmission lines down Overland was their suggestion. That fit in with our plan.
It was actually a fairly good site for us to build at. So, we'd like to do that from
henceforth to do exactly that. (inaudibte) Now one of the staff at Boise City P&Z
said that he use to work in Las Vegas and they had a regulation there that
anytime you purchased a house the realtor had to disclose any future facilities
near to that house. He had to tell you if there was a transmission line planned or
a sub station planned and they would kind of like to move that same direction.
Make sure that when somebody buys the fand, they know something is planned
so that when that thing starts to get built, they really don't have anything to say
about it because it was already planned. The faster we can move that direction
the better.
De Weerd: That's kind of like I was talking to Layne prior to the meeting is in Las
Vegas. those sub stations are very well conceated. In many cases you can not
really tell it's there. That's how well they hide them.
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 14
McCarthy: Certainly. We're learning those lessons too. We had a large staff of
people and I think Layne might have been one of them, thatwent on a tour of
three different locations this past winter or past late fall. They went down to Las
Vegas and Salt Lake City and Phoenix to look at their sub station and
transmission line and distribution line permitting processes and their building
processes. What they look like and how they hid them and everything. We're
trying to pick up lessons on the other urban areas that are going, have already
been where we're going. We're learning our lessons.
De Weerd: Well, good. There's one last thing, we're in the middle of updating our
comp plan and I know Layne participated in many of our Public Hearings but it
might be good to contact our staff and kind of share ideas on locations and make
sure we plan for land use around those areas in the most low impact on the
residential areas.
Corrie: Absolutely. We'll do that.
McCarthy: Just as an addition, we are as a company finally have made the
decision to spend those resources and purchase sites if advance. More or less
banking sites. So, we are in the process of identifying these sites as you can see
the planners have indicated we want to go out, purchase those sites, get long-
term permits or development agreements for those. Identify the corridors through
the public process to get to connect those with the transmission and then that
pulls right into what you're suggesting, have those on the comprehensive plan so
everyone's going to know well in advance of in service dates where these
facilities are going to be. We're just getting started in that process but that's our
goal.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: I just had one more question. With the power shortage a lot of people
are stepping forward and doing co~generation. I was aware of amalgamated
sugar company has just put in a co~generation plant and I know they've got
another plant over in Nyssa. How much will that relieve some of the burden for
you guys?
McCarthy: We're not sure yet. We use to receive about one interconnection
request a year. Right now, we're averaging 30 to 60 per week. Everybody wants
to come on our system and some of these are quit large plants. They're over a
thousand megawatts in our service territory. But most of those, there's no chance
they could be built by the middle of summer; it's just too quick. Some of them can
come on but they'll be the very small ones and they really won't have much of an
Meridian City Counoil Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 15
effect. They'll help those people that are actually putting them on line but the
system as a whole they won't help very much. Next summer there might be a lot
more and the very large plants, maybe a 500 megawatts or 1,000 megawatts
that's going to be 3 or 4 years out.
Corrie: Okay. Layne thank you very much. Nice presentation, thank you.
Bird: Thank you guys, very nice.
Item 4.
Department Reports:
Corrie: Okay. Item NO.3 now will be department reports. We'll start with the
treasurer's report, Janice Smith.
A. City Treasure - Janice Smith:
1. Treasurer's Report:
J. Smith: Thank you Mayor and Council members. You received last week the
investment cash summary and also the monthly signet of revenue and expenses.
On accounting notes we had indicated that all of the funds are in the black right
now. Our revenue came in on our property taxes in late January so we got
together with our investment committee, which is Mayor Corrie, Councilman and
President Keith Bird, and City Clerk Will Berg and myself. We met and also via
telephone with Councilman Bird. We decided to invest, to take out 4 million out of
our checking account and invest it to money market account, which would bring
in 5 percent interest versus the 4.31. In a money market we can take out at any
time with out any - also the Farmer's and Merchants, it's with Farmer's and
Merchants, and they are not charging us any fees. At that time we feel, we'll
probably put one and a half into the building fund, one and a half into the
enterprise, and one million into the general. We're still watching the enterprise
account. They're working on some projects and as they come due we'll be able
to take that money out and pay any contract on those capital projects. With that
closing on the investments did you have any questions on the investment cash
summary?
Bird: It looks pretty good.
2. Draft Budget Schedule:
J. Smith: I also put on your desk tonight just your monthly quarterly financial
report that goes in the Idaho Statesman. I also enclosed a tentative budget
calendar and it's just a draft copy. I understand that you guys are going to bring
up tonight the notice of the budget hearing which I just wanted to make sure
that's on the agenda because it needs to be in no later than the 30th. So this is
just a tentative calendar and enclosed in the second page is last year's calendar.
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24. 2001
Page 16
The financial director will be coming on the 30th so she'll be getting a copy of this.
I just want to make sure you guys had it so that you can chec~ your calendars for
vacations and maybe ear mark those and get with the financial director the 30th.
I also had the City Clerk put on your desk a report that I'd given to Mayor Corrie
on all of the Idaho cities population, market value and levy rates and I sorted it by
City size. I think he's put that together, the Mayor has put that together for the
upcoming workshop for the mill levy election.
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
J. Smith: Did you have any questions on that printout?
Bird: I have none.
J. Smith: We are still working with Councilman Ron Anderson's request to do
some bar graphing which should be able to get that done at the time he
requested. The last thing I enclosed on your desk tonight was a service
agreement with Copier Expert. The accounting department had some left over
audit money that we had an audit done on all of the departments' copiers and so
this is a contracted service agreement that I wanted you to review. The Mayor,
myself, I think the City Clerk, I'm not sure if the City Clerk was sitting in on that
agreement but we reviewed all of the copiers, each department got their audit
report. What we'd like to do is get in a maintenance contract with them. The
Copier Expert will be the person to go after those companies that aren't putting in
the parts that they're suppose to be putting in the parts with and servicing the
machines when they're suppose to. I think the department heads have enough to
do than to manage the copier when the wheel needs changed or just like a car,
it's not flagged so they would do this and it would also be on the website too so
we could track that also. This is just for you to review. We could set up a
workshop to go over this in detail and I think the Mayor was quite pleased with
the report as I was. It was well worth the money in the audit of this.
Corrie: Any questions in the Treasurer?
Bird: Janice, Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Yes, Mr. Bird.
Bird: Janice, all this agreement is is this guy's going to look over who we have
agreements with and make sure that we get everything done right. I'm not sure if
I'm right.
J. Smith: That's correct. It'll be less than $25 a month.
Bird: How many different agreements do we have on copiers with different
businesses?
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 17
J. Smith: Some of our machines have no agreements at all. There's a couple that
don't have any and then to get the life of the machine, it's just like a car you want
it to last five years you're going to get the oil changed in it. There's a couple
machines we do need to get some service agreements on it otherwise the
machines will not last the five years we would like it to.
Bird: This isn't a service agreement.
J. Smith: Just maintenance. He's going to audit the service agreements.
Bird: Audit the service agreement with somebody else. He's not going to do it?
J. Smith: No. We're paying already service agreements that are-
Bird: But you just told me some of the machines do not have agreements.
J. Smith: Right. There's a couple machines that do not.
Bird: Well, so we're going to have to hire somebody there to do the service
maintenance and this guy is going to come in and make sure they do it right?
J. Smith: That's correct. We could have him come in during a workshop at a later
time and go over this. You could also see, some departments have machines
bigger than they need so they're paying more than 3 cents a copy.
Bird: I just -
J. Smith: We could set up another workshop on this. This is nothing that needs -
Corrie: I think that, I talked to Janice today that we need to have it in a
workshop base it whether he can come into what his investment for 2520 it's a
guarantee that he would save you more than that-
Bird: Yeah. I like his warranty. I just read his warranty.
Corrie: -- The thing is I felt the council should be appraised all the program here
what he's doing so that you understand up front what it's all about rather than just
say what's on the paper here.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Let me ask you. You can answer this, is all our copiers different brands, or
are we buying all one brand?
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 18
Corrie: It depends upon the copies per minute that's neede(j by the different
ones. There's a state bid that has different copiers and the cost of them. Some of
them have bought; some of them lease them. It depends upon what they've
done, whether they're leasing them. A lot of times they're not coming in and
service them correctly. Those say they'll last about five years, am I not correct
Janice? Most of the copiers, five years?
J. Smith: Yes. Five years.
Corrie: Some of them if they don't get the work done on them they won't even
last that long. Sometimes he'll come out and make some replacements on it.
That's where they make their money in the service. I don't quite understand all of
it but I think most of it I do. J wanted him to come out and explain it to each one of
the Council because it's a definite advantage to us to have that but they are
different machines. There's some that's breaking down all the time. We got one
in the City Clerk's office that, way more copies than it's designed to do and so we
need to - that's what the audit came out and told us. They've got one that they
could lease now that's a digital that -
*** End of Side One ***
Corrie: - They put it in and it just automatically gives these packets that are just
automatically put out (inaudible)
Bird: For the City is where we have no tax purposes is it better to lease or to
buy?
Corrie: In most cases, lease.
Bird: Lease is better? I know in a city -
Corrie: Some it is-
Bird: M_ in a private business, yeah lease because you can write off all this, where
you just get the depreciation over the years.
Corrie: Any other question?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Yeah. We'll set that up for a workshop and I'll get with the -
J. Smith: Okay. Thank you Mayor and Council.
Bird: Thanks Janice.

B. Public Works Department - Gary Smith:
Corrie: Okay. Public works, Gary Smith.
G. Smith: Mr. Mayor, Council. I'm going to have City Engineer Brad Watson
present these items for this department.
Watson: Thank you Mayor and Council. Three items that we have tonight are
contract awards, or agreement awards for consulting services. The first one I
think you'll find my memo in the front of the packet is for the design of a Great
Basin UV disinfection and effluent disposal facilities at the wastewater treatment
plant.
1. Grit Basin, UV and Effluent Disposal Project -
Agreement for Professional Services:
Watson: The construction of these three items will expand those specific
processes to the year 2020 peak flow. Public works' recommended action on this
is to award the agreement for the wastewater treatment plant Great Basin UV
and Effluent Disposal Project to Keller Associates. Lump sum amount for the
design is $81,210.00. The additional services such as construction management,
(inaudible) and review, surveying, and miscellaneous other stuff is $44,040.00 on
a time and material basis not to exceed and we would recommend that that be
awarded to Keller Associates. Is there any questions?
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: The 44,000, is a not to exceed but what if - they're going to be the
construction manager on this project too?
Watson: Yes. They are providing a half time on site inspector who reports to the
project manager who is with Keller Associates.
Bird: Okay. They're going to hire the construction manager that's going to get all
the subs and all that and actually run the job?
Watson: No. They're just putting this out for bid. They-
Bird: So, there will be a general contractor, but they will over see the construction
and have a man 20 hours a week or whatever on site?
Watson: Correct. Up to this point the City had been providing day to day
inspection and the staff out there is too busy to provide that anymore.
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 20
Bird: Oh yeah.
Watson: The construction management part of this contract is higher than we're
use to seeing because they're assuming the inspection duties.
Bird: Okay.
Corrie: Any further questions?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Discussion. Okay. Hearing none, I'll entertain a motion on the
recommendation from council.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move that we approve the, award the agreement of the wastewater
treatment plant grit basin UV and affluent disposal project to Keller and
Associates Inc. in the lump sum the amount of $81,210.00 for design and a time
and material basis no to exceed the amount of $44,040.00 for additional services
listed and described in the agreement and authorize the Mayor to sign and the
clerk to attest.
De Weerd: Second.
Corrie: Okay. Motion's been made and seconded to approve the
recommendation of council from the public works department. Is there any other
discussion? Then the motion is made. Hearing none, Mr. Clerk roll call vote
please.
Berg: Thank you Mr. Mayor, members of Council roll call vote.
Roll-Call: Bird, aye; de Weerd, aye; McCandless, aye; Anderson, aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
2. 2001 Wastewater Treatment Plan Water Line Project
- Professional Services, Construction Staking
Agreement:
Corrie: Item NO.2.
Watson: The item No. 2 is simply a time and materials contract for construction
staking for the wastewater treatment plant waterline project with Civil Survey
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 21
Consultants. They have provided a lot of construction surveying and staking for
us over the years. We recommend that Council award the consultant contract to
them on a time and materials basis not to exceed $1,000.00. Are there any
questions?
Corrie: Questions, Council?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay. I'll entertain a motion on the request.
Bird: Mr. Mayor
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move that we award the agreement for construction staking for the 2001
wastewater treatment plant waterline project to Civil Survey Consultant Inc. on a
time and material basis no to exceed $1,000.00 and authorize the Mayor to sign
and the Clerk to attest.
De Weerd: Second.
Corrie: Okay. Motion's been made and seconded to approve the 2001
wastewater treatment plant waterline project of $1,000.00. Any further
discussion? Mr. Berg roll call vote please.
Berg: Thank you Mr. Mayor members of Council, roll call vote.
Roll-Call: Bird, aye; de Weerd, aye; McCandless, aye; Anderson, aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
1. Black Cat I Ustick Water Line Loop Closure Project-
Agreement for Professional Services:
Watson: Thank you. Item NO.3 is an agreement for professional services with
Earl and Associates for a waterline loop closure in the area of Ustick Road and
Black Cat Road. My memo summarizes the limits of that project. The primary
purpose of this is to provide another main transmission line to the Autumn Faire,
Turnberry, Ashford Greens area. At present there's only one main transmission
line. Earl and Associate was contacted because they have existing survey
information because they're doing Autumn Faire Subdivision. They provided us a
proposal to do this work and public works would recommend that council award
the agreement for professional services to Earl and Associates. The design
amount is a lump sum of $11,339.00 with additional services such as
construction management, although we will be doing the administration, they
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 22
provide some (inaudible) and review and are available to answer questions that
come up. That would be on a time and material basis not toexceed $3,500.00.
The estimated cost of this project is around $80,000.00. Are there any
questions?
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Brad I think I know the answer but for public record, they will do all the
engineering and everything. We will not have to hire somebody to do that. They
will do this complete engineering and have it all set, ready for bid.
Watson: They prepare the project manual and plats.
Bird: For the $11 ,330.00?
Watson: And run it through DEQ.
Bird: Yes. I have no further.
Corrie: Any other questions? Okay. I'll entertain a motion.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move that we award the agreement for the Black Cat Ustick waterline loop
closure to Earl and Associates Inc. in the lump sum amount of $11,339.00 for
design and a time and material basis not to exceed the amount of $3,500.00 for
additional services described in the agreement and for the Mayo to sign and for
the clerk to attest.
Corrie: Okay. Do I hear a second?
De Weerd: Second.
Corrie: Okay. Motion's been made and seconded to approve Ear' and
Associates on the motions made. Any further discussion? Hearing none, roll call
vote please.
Berg: Thank you Mr. Mayor members of the Council, roll call vote.
Roll-Call: Bird, aye; de Weerd, aye; McCandless, aye; Anderson, aye.

Corrie: Thank you.
C. Parks and Recreation Department - Tom Kuntz:
Corrie: Item No. C parks and rec department Tom Kuntz.
1. Storey Park Master Plan Update:
Kuntz: Thank you Mayor and Council. The first item I have is a request for
approval for the Storey Park master plan update. Information contained in the
memo dated 4-20. We plan to make some changes in the front portion of Storey
Park next fiscal year. In order to proceed with that we need to do a master plan
update. We've selected CT A Landworks Group to provide that service at a cost
of $4,425.00. This will assist us in having estimates and making requests at
budget time for next fiscal year. The recommended council action is to approve
the agreement with CT A Landworks to provide that Storey Park master plan
update at a cost of $4,425.00 and authorize the Mayor to sign and the City Clerk
to attest.
Corrie: Any questions from Council? Okay. Hearing none, I'll entertain a motion
to approve the recommendation of Storey Park master plan.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. De Weerd.
De Weerd: I move that we approve the agreement with eTA Landworks to
provide the Storey Park master plan update at a cost of $4,425.00 to authorize
the Mayor to sign and clerk to attest.
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Motion's made and second to approve the recommendation of the parks
and rec department Tom Kuntz on the Storey Park master plan update. Any
further discussion? Hearing none, roll call vote Mr. Clerk.
Roll-Call: Bird, aye; de Weerd, aye; McCandless, aye; Anderson, aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
2. Storey Park Topographic Survey:
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 24
Kuntz: The second item is related to the first item. After discussions with public
works director Gary Smith and scanning our files in ouroffice and having
discussions with Walt Murrow of Western Ada Recreation District, we are unable
to locate an accurate topographic survey of Storey Park, which is necessary to
provide base information on the master plan. We've selected WH Pacific to
provide this service and there is a change in the cost. I've got a memo, actually
email from David Short whose their representative, their survey director. He
obtained some electronic files I believe from Compass but I could be wrong. It
was either Compass or the Ada County auditors. Yeah the Ada County GIS. It
shows the property pins for the outline or the outer areas of Storey Park but it
does not show anything as far as Western Ada's property, the pool and the area
around the pool. So, he has suggested, originally he suggested and additional
$1400.00 to provide that. I indicated that seemed a little steep to me so he came
down to an additional $600.00 to provide that service. I'll pass this email out real
briefly.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Tom I think if you want to find the Western Ada's deal in that go get the plat
of the Meridian Speedway, the Meridian Dairy Show board. That acre was taken
off of theirs in 1973 I believe it was_ I don't know why we would need that in
Storey Park. (inaudible) That is not part of Storey Park. Why would we need that
in part (inaudible)
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Bird: I think you could find it all because the Dairy Show board give the original
part of Storey Park to the city and Hanz should have the property lines for the
back part when we purchased that in 68. ((inaudible)
Smith: Mr. Mayor, Council.
Bird: (inaudible)
Corrie: (inaUdible)
Smith: There is a survey that was done by Hubble Engineering for the back part
where the baseball field, where the American Legion field is and the softball field.
Those pins are in and they're there. I think the one Tom is concerned about is the
property around West Ada Rec, the swimming pool.
Bird: That should be on record because that was deeded to Western Ada in 71, I
think 71 and it should have been, the pins for it should have been surveyed and
put out. It should be the original part, well it's part of the original, the front part is

the original land of the Meridian Dairy Show board and they should have that split
out too.
Smith: I think the legal descriptions for both those parcels are available. I think
what Tom's looking for is a drawing that would show that legal description and
the parcel itself in order to split that out from the city property for this topographic
map.
Bird: Mr. Mayor. Gary, being an engineer, it seems a little high $4100.00 when
you've got all that stuff at your disposal.
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Anderson: It's only 600 for what he's wanting to find out about the Western
Ada's property (inaudible).
Bird: Right.
Anderson: The rest of it's for doing the rest of Storey Park.
Bird: Yeah. I know.
Corrie: I think if you need to find out and you need it, I think $600.00 is well-
spent money for everybody's concern.
Smith: Mayor and Council. I know in this day and age it doesn't take long to eat
up 600 bucks with a survey crew -
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Bird: You're right. Well said. I pull my argument.
Corrie: Any other discussion?
Bird: No.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. De Weerd.
De Weerd: I move that we approve the agreement with W H Pacific Inc. to
provide Storey Park topographic survey at a cost of $4,100.00 and to authorize
the Mayor to sign and the clerk to attest.

3. Chateau Park Construction Design:
Kuntz: Thank you Mayor and Council. The third item is in regards to Chateau
Park construction design. In this years budget there was funds for constructing
phase 1 of Chateau Park. The master plan for the park was approved by the City
Council. We've selected CT A Landworks Group to provide the design
specifications necessary to bid the construction of phase 1. The fee for that
service is $10,172.00. That does not include the architectural services for the
design of the restroom. We are anticipating using the restroom design from either
Boise City or the state parks department at a cost of about $5,000.00. The initial
estimates for just the design of the restrooms was $14,000.00. We don't feel like
that's prudent to invest that kind of money in a restroom that will be fairly small in
size. The reason that this has taken this long is that we initially were negotiating
with another landscape architect company. There was about a $6,000.00
difference between their estimate and this estimate so we are bringing this for
your consideration tonight.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Tom, what's the estimate on the cost of the construction on phase 1?
Kuntz: It was between 250 and $350,000.00 and I did not look at what the budget
approval was. I think it was in the area of $350,000.00.
Bird: We're just getting the design services, or are we getting CM of it and
bidding -
Kuntz: Bidding documents but no construction administration for this.
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001

Kuntz: You should have in your packets attached is a letter dc;lted April 19th from
CT A outlining each individual item and the cost related to those. Do you have
those in your packet?
Bird: Uh-huh.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. De Weerd.
De Weerd: Tom what is the time frame for this part?
Kuntz: As far as starting construction of phase 1? It would be 60 days.
De Weerd: And how long will it take to complete?
Kuntz: I don't have an estimate on that.
Anderson: Are you asking for the additional 5,000 to that 10,000 for the restroom
design in addition to this?
Kuntz: No sir. Tonight all I'm asking for is the 10,172 that would be the fee for
eTA Landworks Group. Included in that would be $2,048.00 that would cover
that engineering of site utilities required to make the restroom facility operational.
The 5,000 I will come back to the Council, once I have a firm figure on what that
cost will actually be.
Anderson: Okay.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Kuntz: We're hoping to get it for less than that.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Tom, you know where the restroom's going to be in the plan so the utilities
and stuff is in this phase 1 right? So, all we have to do is put the thing up when
we do it?
Kuntz: Yeah.
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor

Group to provide design specifications for phase 1 at Chateau Park in the
amount of $10,172.00 for the Mayor to sign and the clerk attest.
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Okay. Motions been made and second to approve the recommendation to
the Council on the contract to CTA Landworks Group $10,172.00. Any further
discussion? Hearing none, roll call vote Mr. Berg.

Corrie: That's fine.
5. 58-Acre Park Ditch Tiling Project:
Kuntz: You should have in your mailboxes a memo dated 4-23 requesting an
additional one item for tonight's consideration. Did everyone get that?
Anderson: That was the one that wasn't in our box by Friday wasn't it?
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Kuntz: Council member Anderson I think it was in your box on Monday.
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Kuntz: Friday, Monday
De Weerd: Friday night.
Kuntz: If you'd like to delay action on this until the next meeting I certainly
understand.
Corrie: (inaudible) go ahead.
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 29
Kuntz: We opened the bids on the tiling of the irrigation ditches on the 58-acre
park on March 19th. There was only one bidder from Paul Construction of
Meridian at $81,012.00. Four days prior to the opening of that bid, we received a
letter from the JUS Engineers indicating their client Kevin Howell was no longer
willing to allow excess irrigation water run north across his property to the white
drain. We have documentation from two prior meetings with WH Pacific and
numerous farm owners and landowners at those meetings that the best situation
as far as dumping that excess water would be up along north of Meridian Road
into the white drain. For some reason, the developer chose to change his mind
mid stream and as you can see the design and bid specifications were laid out
around to draining the excess water to the north. What we're asking for at this
time is to reject the only bid on that project from Paul Construction of $81,112.00
that will allow us time to renegotiate with the developer who now has turned 180
degrees the other way and said he will now allow us to run that drain water up to
the north. So, we met with our city attorney today and we're working on an
easement agreement to make it all legal. Thank you.
Corrie: (inaudible) any discussion?
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: Let me get this straight. You want us to accept or reject this bid now?
Kuntz: Reject please.
Anderson: But if it's going to go north anyway now-
Kuntz: We will be outside the 60 day time period.
Anderson: It's just the timing then?
Kuntz: Timing plus there was only one bidder. We think the reason there was
only one bidder is we were trying to get this done prior to the irrigation water
coming into the ditches. What we'll do at this point is go out. First, get the
easement in place. Two is we will do some minor redesign. Three is we'll put the
system in dry and then we will hook up tot he irrigation system over a period
when farmers down stream from us have alfalfa that" cut and don't want their
water. So, we'll use that window there to hook up the system that's been put in
dry. Then we'll be coming back to you at some point in the near future when
we've re-bid the project.
Anderson: Okay.
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001

Corrie: Any other questions? Hearing none, I'll entertain a motion on the
recommendation of the parks director.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. De Weerd.
De Weerd: I move that we reject the bid submitted for the tiling of 50 whatever
acre project It's 58 or 56.
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Kuntz: 68.84 minus 2 acres for a water tank.
Bird: (inaudible) going to say 56.
De Weerd: okay.
Corrie: Yeah. We got two acres that are taking up by a big (inaudible).
Bird: And we paid for the whole thing for just that 2 acres what he charged us.
Corrie: Okay.
De Weerd: Sorry I ask.
Corrie: Is there a second to the motion to reject the bid?
Anderson: I'll second.
Corrie: Okay. Motions made and seconded to reject the bid of Paul Construction
of $81,112.00. Any further discussion? Hearing none, roll call vote Mr. Berg.

4. Skate Park Site Selection:
Corrie: Okay. Item NO.4 Skate park selection.
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 31
Kuntz: The last item for your consideration is the site selection for the skate
park. I tried to get all the council members out this week to se~Tully Park as well
as the 58-acre site and where our concerns are in regards to pedestrian safety
and walking along Ustick Road. I know the police department had some
concerns about the 58-acre site as far as the distance out from the core of town.
I'm not sure if they had any concerns about pedestrian safety but maybe I can let
Captain Musser speak to that. The parks and recreations commission discussed
this topic at their April meeting and took a vote. It passed to recommend to the
council the 58-acre park site. As a result of the staff's concerns we have re-
contacted some of those parks commissioners and they are willing to adjust their
vote or they would like to we able to discuss this issue at this Thursday workshop
coming up if the council would like to delay a decision on this. Staff feels very
strongly that because of the unsafe walking conditions along Ustick Road,
because of the close proximity to the middle school and the high school, that
Tully Park even though it will be a little more crowded than it would definitely be
at the 58 acres. That Tully Park is the best site for that skate park at this time.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor
Corrie: Mrs. De Weerd.
De Weerd: Tom, have you gone out and talked to the neighbors in the area
surrounding that park?
Kuntz: Council member De Weerd, Mayor, and Council. We have not done that.
We certainly can do that. I guess the reason that we didn't feel like it was
necessary is because where we're siting the Skate Park is dead center in the
middle of the park. To the south is our parking lot prior to the row of houses to
the north is a space of green area and then the new five mile creek pathway will
be there. That's the reason we haven't done it yet but we certainly could do that.
De Weerd: I know in the original plans, in the inception of the parks and
recreation commission they did run a public hearing for the neighbors to look at
that plan. It didn't include a skate park and I, it would be my strong
recommendation that they be notified and given a chance to comment on having
that sort of amenity in that park.
Corrie: Any other comments?
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: Tom, in your memo you'd indicated that the parks and recreation
commission had recommended the 56/58-acre park. Have you had a chance to
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 32
talk to them to see if any of those members would have any problem with this
Tully Park site?
Kuntz: Council member Anderson, Mayor, Council. We were only able to actually
get in touch with two of them. We did send emaHs to all of them today after being
unsuccessful reaching them yesterday. The chairman of the parks commission
Shari Baker and Craig Steele both were willing to reconsider and reconsider their
vote to Tully Park.
Anderson: And how many members are on there?
Kuntz: There are seven.
Anderson: So, you got a hold of two of them?
Kuntz: Yes sir. That's why if the Council chooses to delay this it would give us
an opportunity to talk to them Thursday night. I don't have a problem with that.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Tom, I would have no problem with delaying it. The only problem I see is
you know we budgeted for a skate board park and we were going to get it in this
year and here we are. I know the sites have been odd. I was the one that was in
favor of the 58 but I have to agree with your staff and yourself after driving out
there. Without the sidewalks and stuff it isn't real safe but I also agree with
Tammy on the Tully Park. I know the location of it isn't bad. It's not next to
houses. In the same token, when we did get the final plan when Tammy and I
were sitting on the parks and recreation commission we did have the public input
on that and not having a skate board park in that it would probably be fair to the
people around it. I don't think they would object to it. Of course I didn't think my
neighbors would object to the middle school either so I might be wrong there. I
would have no objections to delaying it. I'd just like to see it get built this year.
Corrie: Tom, I think that's probably a good idea to talk to them. I also would
suggest there's I think there's 6 youths set back here and you kind of talk to
those young people and kind of get their idea of where they would - We're
talking now between two areas and if they have some friends that would like to
put their input in there I think if you would talk to Tom or come to my office and
tell you which you'd like to see. We'd like to have your input too because you're
the ones' that's going to b e down there. So, either the 56 acre park or at Tully
ark, we'd like to hear your comments if you'd either come to my office or Tom's or
bring your friends into my office. We'd like to hear from you as well.
Kuntz: Mayor did you want to hear from the police department on this issue?
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 33
Corrie: Sure. Sure
Musser: Mr. Mayor and Members of Council. At this point the Police
Department's recommendation would be to avoid any increased pedestrian traffic
on the Ustick Road site because it's not improved, no sidewalks and it is
relatively thin country road still at this point in which hasn't been improved. If you
spend any time out there as well, you'll see that the traffic is fairly heavy at this
point with the north end growth that we've had. So, our recommendation would
be that, unless we do have improvements that are on the board and in hand with
it that Tully would probably be the better option at this point.
Corrie: Tom, once they get started how long do you think it'll take to have it
built?
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Kuntz: I'd hate to answer that without talking with our design architect but I
could certainly get you an answer.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Kuntz: I guess I would, we could have it open by September.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I think he just answered my question but, Tom, we don't have the drawings
for, I mean I realize we haven't got an exact location of it but we have some kind
of an idea what we're going to have in it aren't we?
Kuntz: Council member Bird, Mayor, Council. The land group who designed and
over saw the construction of the Eagle site has conceptual drawings and
concepts from Eagle. As they indicated to me when I ask why the price was so
high to design it, each site has it's own peculiarities. I know one thing that
possibly is a plus at Tully. I talked with Brad Watson is that we may be able to
access the drainage area that's already in place there at Tully for the parking lot
without having to have the additional cost of building additional you know
drainage pit and pond in that area. So, there's some plusses there. I guess to
answer your question, the experience that the land group has with the Eagle
Skate Park we're hoping is going to cut down the amount of design time.
Bird; Good.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor
Corrie: Mrs. De Weerd:
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 34
De Weerd: I think there are going to be a number of kigs on that design
committee I'm sure have some ideas what they'd like to see in it. Tom and I did
discuss the Ustick problem because I agree we did March For Parks there last
year and thank God for the Police Department and their help in getting the
walkers through there. That is no the place to walk but Five-Mile Creek pathway
is opening in June and it is a great alternative. It's not too far off of Ustick to cut
from Linder to Meridian Road, so it is an alternative route to get up to the site.
Bird: (inaUdible)
Kuntz: Mayor and Council. You don't want to take time tonight to listen to the
young people who came did you?
Corrie: Sure, if they want to.
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Corrie: It's not a public hearing but it's their park. Anybody like to say a few
words to us?
Bird: They just want a skateboard.
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Corrie: Okay. Come on up.
(inaudible)
Corrie: I'm sorry. Come on up here where we can hear you.
(inaudible)
Bird; Okay.
Corrie: Maybe they (inaudible)
Bennett: I know a while ago we had -
Corrie: What's your name?
Bird: Give your name.
Bennett: Shawn Bennett. I'm not a skate boarder; I ride my bike. I'm a BMXer,
and I know a while ago we had a meeting out at the fire station and there was a
whole bunch of us there. We discussed where it was going to be at and we
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 35
actually discussed it being at Storey Park. I was just kind of wondering whatever
happened to it being over there because that's where like me,.,and all my friends
that I associate with, my friends and I that's where we kind of look forward to
seeing it at. It's a little bit closer to where everything is. You can go get food. Like
out at Tully Park we have to drive all the way, or ride all the way to the other side
of town to find something to eat or something. I was just kind of wondering what
happened to whatever was going there.
Corrie: Okay. I can give you to Tom. You want to-
Kuntz: That recommendation was taken to the Council and Mayor. Really only
for discussion. The Council felt like one of the key issues in sighting this Skate
Park is visibility from a main thoroughfare and they felt like the site at Tully, or
excuse me Storey Park was some what buried in the inside of the park and was
not really highly visible from Franklin or First Avenue. Especially since that area
around Storey Park is going to be developed with probably a couple story
buildings that the visibility into that site is going to be less than it is right now.
Bird: Our police chief also recommended that it was not the safest place down
there at night.
Bennett: Okay.
Bird: Thank you.
Kuntz: We'll build some new restaurants around Tully park for you.
De Weerd: I don't know. I think Maverick considers itself a destination restaurant.
Corrie: If I recall, I believe (inaudible)
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Corrie: One of our Council people lives close to it. They might have barbecue.
Bird: I was just going to say, we've got a councilperson maybe they'll put up a
portable barbecue out there for you.
Corrie: Okay then-
De Weerd: If the payments right.
Corrie: I assume that the Council would like to have a little bit longer -
Bird: Yeah, I would really.

D. Mayor's Department - Mayor Robert Corrie:
1. Participation in the Meridian to Boise Shuttle Bus
Program by ACHD
Corrie: Oh boy. Okay. Item D last on the agenda the participation in Meridian to
Boise shuttle bus program by ACHD. I ask that this be put on so that I could talk
to council. I did get a bill from the ACHD for 17,500 for the commuter shuttle and
then we participate in another mid day shuttle for 12,500. In December 2000, we
talked about that and it mentioned that in that they were asking for the 15,000
which we didn't already pay and it said that we can vote to give her the
(inaudible) here at the April through September on the 15,000. I believe then we
can see how it goes and then the 30,000 for the following year. In going through
all the pages of the hearings that we did motions and that we didn't make any
motions to approve the request the 17,500 and the 12,500. I though we'd better
bring that up and have you discuss that if you wanted to continue with the
service. I think we all understand what the service is and the people had it liked
it. Ridership has been more than we anticipated. I'll open it for discussion and
request that the 30,000 that's coming up for the year 2001 and then I think
they're in the year 2002 another 17,500 beginning the fiscal year of 10-1-01. Well
that's what they're asking for, I'm sorry.
Bird: Didn't we agree to pay that, Mayor?
Corrie: I couldn't find anywhere in the minutes that we had a motion to do so.
(inaudible)
Bird: I think you're probably right we all agreed to it.
Corrie: But I don't think we did the motion that I could find.
De Weerd: We included it in the motion didn't we?
Corrie: No.
De Weerd: I mean in the budget.
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 37
Bird: Budget.
Corrie: I think yes we did but we didn't vote on it as such.
Bird: But we included it in the budget though didn't we?
Corrie: It's in the budget but you didn't approve it.
Bird: Was it 17,500?
Corrie: 7,500 then there's 2,500 later and then another one -
Bird: 8750? We paid that already didn't we?
Corrie: We paid all that. We paid the 6,250 and the 8750. Now it's at 12,500 and
17,500 which is the --
Bird: What's the 12,000 Mayor? I don't-
Corrie: That's the - 12,500 is for the midday shuttle then the other was 17500
for the commuter shuttle. That would total us in the 30,000. We kicked that price
around and we said yeah we would look at it and then see how it goes and then
for the 30,000 for the following year. Then the motion was made to approve the
15,000 so we put it in the budget but we didn't vote on it. That's why I hesitate to
say okay pay the 17500 because we don't have that a back up from the Council
to approve that. We put it in the budget but we just didn't put in a motion to pay it.
Bird: Participation from our citizens has been more than we even thought.
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Bird: I think we owe it to the citizens to as long as it used to continue it.
Corrie: One of the things that Bob Hawn has stated that they were going to put
in some money to also have it go into the Corporate Park. Jabil, the whole bit
around there as well.
Bird: Great.
Corrie: That will be extra on top of all this other.
Bird: Great. That'll be neat.
Corrie: That wasn't in writing but it was verbal.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor

De Weerd: Do you just need a motion to authorize payment of the 17,500?
Bird: 29,500.
Corrie: Actually,--
Bird: If it's -
Corrie: ~- 30,000. 12,500-midday shuttle and 17,500 for commuter shuttle total
contributions. We already paid the 15 for the year 2000.2001 be a total of 30.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor
Corrie: Mr. Anderson:
Anderson: I'm fuzzy on the whole issue about exactly what Pat asked us for and
how much we budgeted. Is there any way we can verify how much we budgeted
before we -
Corrie: Yeah. We can pull that from -
Anderson: -- do a vote because I don't think we budgeted that much.
Bird: I don't think we did either.
De Weerd: I thought we budgeted-
Anderson: Stick in my mind.
Bird: Wasn't it 30,000? I thought we budgeted 15.
Anderson: When I read these minutes, I mean it looks like Keith was specifically
trying to pin her down and she was saying 17,000 and then she said here it was
for the year 2002. I'm not sure we budgeted that amount.
Bird: I didn't think we budgeted that 30,000 but I think, this isn't all, some of this
goes to the Treasure Valley too don't it? The one that comes from Nampa.
Corrie: Oh yeah.
Bird: I mean it's not just the one ACHD this is to service the whole from Caldwell
to what is it?
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 39
Corrie: Boise.
De Weerd: Treasure Valley Transit (inaudible) said 12,500.
Bird: That's the 12,500. Then the 17,500, and Tammy you might be right. We
might have budgeted 30,000 but I'm like Ron I don't recall it.
Corrie: We can pull it back. It's stated in here that we'll be asked for 17,500 the
entire year next year. It's 15,000 this year total so that total with two system and
$30,000 for the following year, which would be 2001, which is the one we're in
now.
Bird: That's right.
Corrie: That's the one Keith was questioning about. I'm trying, I couldn't find
where it was but you did mention that. We could certainly make sure we've got it
in the budget.
Bird: Mr. Anderson, would you agree to make a motion that if it is in the budget
go ahead and pay it and if not bring it back so that we can get it paid? They
probably could use the money.
Anderson: Yeah. I'm just concerned that we budgeted that amount and-
Bird: I don't think we did.
Anderson: -- there's a -
Bird: Tammy thinks we did.
Anderson: -- when I read these minutes it's confusing to me what she was even
asking us for.
Bird: That's why I questioned her.
Anderson: If the 17,000 was one thing and then she was asking for an
additional dollar amount to cover something else, I mean there's so many figures
thrown around In these minutes that I'm not sure what she's asking for.
Bird: I'm too sure those extra figures are thrown around is not, because they lose
the federal funding from the Wye once it is completed.
*** End of Side Two ***
Bird: -- then the federal dollars go away. That kind of sticks in my mind. It's only
been a year though.

Corrie: She's only asking for right now in this letter February the 8th 2001 for
17,500 for the fiscal year 2001. Mrs. De Weerd:
De Weerd: I believe that when she came and made the presentations those both
last February and this last December, she did bring handouts. If the City clerk's
office doesn't have it, I believe I still may. If you want me to find mine I certainly
would be willing to try and find it. It was very nicely put out in the literature that
we received both times that she came and spoke.
Bird: Mr. Mayor
De Weerd: I really do believe we did budget for it because it was that and the
senior request that we make sure to get in specifically in the budget. It might be,
Will is that in your budget?
Bird: He wouldn't (inaudible) How much did we budget, Mr. Clerk?
Berg: I believe (inaudible) because it consisted of three different (inaudible)
De Weerd: Mr. Clerk, will you please talk in your microphone?
Berg: Sorry.
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Berg: No comment.
Bird: Council with your permission I would make a motion that we pay the 17,500
to Ada County Highway District and 12,000-
De Weerd: 500
Bird: -- no. It's 12,000.
Corrie: 12,500
Bird: -- 12,500 to Treasure Valley transportation if it has been budgeted for that
amount in our 2001 budget. If not, bring it back and we'll address it.
De Weerd: Second.
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 41
Corrie: There was a second? Okay. Motion has been made and second to pay
the 17,500 for the commuter shuttle for the October 2000 September 2001 and
the midday shuttle at 12,500 as long as it was in the budget and approved for
that. Any further discussion? All those in favor say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Corrie: We'll need to get tomorrow and find that out. If there's any discrepancy
on that (inaudible). Okay. I guess we voted on the agenda. I did have one thing
real quick for the council. The letter that I wrote to the Meridian City residents,
there was some few errors that was pointed out to me. We'll get those changed.
One of the things that the letter to go out in our water bill would be this letter and
also if you would like we can put on the Treasure Valley levies like we did on the
back of it so it's one page. Then maybe a map underneath that of the four polling
districts in the city (inaudible)
Bird: I think that's a great idea Mayor.
Corrie: Okay. Is there any other problem with that?
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor
Corrie: Yes.
De Weerd: In Star and Eagle, they both have fire districts that are taxing
(inaudible) don't they? You know these figures it's hard to compare to ours when
their fire districts are separate from their - can they be asterisked and maybe
adjusted to include their fire district?
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
De Weerd: Well, yeah but we have the Fire Department is funded-
Bird: It's funded just like - they don't have to fund. Their district is a separate
entity. Their fire districts, so they're just funding, what you see. They're not
funding as much. Their mill levy isn't funding as much as we have to because
they don't have to fund a Police Department -
De Weerd: Keith, I understand that. What I'm saying is add their fire district levy
to theirs to adequately reflect that cost. If you're going to compare us to Star and
Eagle and we fund our fire department out of the mill levy that we collect I would
like that reflected and I would like to compare apples to apples.
Anderson: I agree with Tammy, Keith. What she's trying to say here and I know
we've talked about it a number of times-
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 42
Bird: Yeah
Anderson: -- is we need to show, just like when you look at this levy comparison
on the back. When you look at Boise and Caldwell and Meridian and Nampa,
they're all funding a fire department in this mill levy. Then you look at cities like
Eagle and Garden City and Kuna and Star, they're not. So you need to add that
mill levy of their fire districts so that you can adequately show that they're actually
paying more taxes.
Bird: Also you've got to show what we're paying Ada County Highway District if
you want to compare to Nampa Caldwell and that because they're all financing
their own districts.
Anderson: I agree with you.
Corrie: But we've got that one don't we?
Bird: No, not in this one.
Corrie: Not in this one but we can put it in this one.
Bird: I think you need, if you want to do that, I mean myself Kuna, Star and
Eagle, stuff like that isn't my worry it's Nampa Caldwell, cities that are up around
our size. Boise, which isn't around our size.
De Weerd: Well, then don't include those.
Anderson: Then maybe we ought to drop out some of those smaller cities and
just compare it with cities that are comparable in size.
Bird: I realize they've got a contract Star, Eagle and Kuna all have a contract with
Ada Count Sheriff department. I'll guarantee you they couldn't finance their own
police department for what they're paying the sheriff department. But they don't
get the coverage either. I'll agree with you but that's part of the deal but I would
like to compare apples to apples with people and all we have to do in Boise and
Meridian just like Ken Harward did on our, like the Mayor did on that chart we
had last week was show what our Ada County Highway District assessment is
and then put Nampa Caldwell in there because they've already got it in there.
Anderson: I think that's the basic thing that Tammy's asking for. Let's compare
apples to apples so it does adequately reflect-
Corrie: Yeah. We want --
Anderson: -- some of these don't do that.

Corrie: We want to be right straight across so that it shows that. I think AIC one
does that and we could put that one in there. That wouldn't be any problem. I
think it's probably better if we did.
Anderson: Okay.
Corrie: (inaudible) and I will put that together tomorrow morning and have it in
your box by noon so you can take a look at it because we don't have to get it
there until Thursday for the water bills.
Berg: Mr. Mayor
Corrie: Yes.
Berg: If I could interrupt, the printing of that, Anita was saying that she needs to
have that by Wednesday midday to give to the printers to print that.
Corrie: By Wednesday? I thought she said Thursday.
Berg: Thursday to the people that send out the bills -
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Berg: Wednesday for the printer to print the how many thousands of copies.
Corrie: Well, if you happen to make it in here in the morning, it'll be there in your
box by noon. If you come in my office 1'1/ show it to you. I need your corrections
on this one (inaudible). Okay.
Berg: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Yes.
Berg: You added an item NO.5 for the public hearing.
Item 5.
Public Hearing Date for Budget -
Corrie: Okay. We need to decide either the 28th or the 29th for the Public
Hearing. That would be by what August?
Berg: Mr. Mayor. August 28th is a Tuesday, which is the fourth Tuesday of the
month. The 29tli is a Wednesday.
Bird: Go for the 29th.
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001

Corrie: 29th, Public Hearing on a Wednesday? Okay. Okay does everybody
agree to that 29th of - I think we'll be through, that's Wednesda.y.
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Corrie: So, August the 29th on the Public Hearing on the budget. Okay.
Berg: 1'1/ notify-
Corrie: I'll notify them because you have to do that by the 30th, don't you?
Berg: Okay. Thank you.
Corrie: All right. Well, with that-
Bird: Mr. Mayor
Corrie: Mr. Bird
Bird: I'd ask your permission if any of the Scouts would like to ask any questions
or give us any information. I love this turn out of the Boy Scouts. Come on up _
Corrie: Come up here.
Bird: -- give us your name and the Mayor will answer all the questions.
Corrie: Okay.
Linntown: Mayor, Council -
Corrie: Name?
Linntown: I'm sorry, Bryce Linntown. I'm sure a lot of the Boy Scouts are
wondering where would this 58 or 56-mile park be located in the Meridian area?
Corrie: Okay. I think I can handle that one. Meridian Road and Ustick Road. Do
you know where the big round water - right there. The big field that's in there is
56 acres.
Linntown: Okay. Thank you.
Corrie: You bet.
De Weerd: By the way in that 56 acres, phase 1 of that park will begin this
summer. Phase 1 is about 25 acres of park land that will be developed.

Corrie: One of you wrote me a letter about the Catholic Church being a
kindergarten - there he is right there. I will be sending that lett~r to you this week
in reference to that. Good question, very good question. Just for the Council's
edification he wanted to know if the Catholic church there on Cherry Lane was
going to make that into a school for kindergarten through I believe it was the 8th
grade, 8th grade and wanted to know if they could do that with their property. It's
very, very good questions and I've looked into it. I'll give you my answer on that
in writing and we'll be ready to go on it. Very good question. Any other
questions?
De Weerd: be careful of the arms you know-
Bird: The arms of these chairs are a little temperamental.
Bartin: My name is Josh Bartin. I was wondering why Idaho had decided not to
use nuclear power?
Bird: Nuclear power deals. Let's just get one of these gentlemen here up.
De Weerd: Kent, can you answer this?
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
McCarthy: I don't think that Idaho has decided not to use nuclear power. To
permit a nuclear power plant, to design, permit and build one would probably
take about 15 to 20 years. To address our present crisis, it really wouldn't help us
out at all. Down the road in the future, I think we're seeing re-surgance of nuclear
power in the United States and I think we might some day come around to having
some in the state of Idaho.
Bird: Thank you Kent.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Bird: Come boys you're not bashful. Your Scout leader will tell us that.
Corrie: Okay, back here. Now you're on the 3-minute clock.
Unidentified: I was wondering what all will be included in the park and are there
any other park projects planned for the Meridian area?
Bird: Where's Thomas at?
Corrie: Parks director--
Bird: Thomas.
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 46
Corrie: Tom Kuntz would you like to. Thank you. I hated to pull you out of there
but he wanted to know what was going to be planned for the 56 acre park and
any other new parks that have been planned.
Kuntz: Okay. Who am I addressing this to?
Corrie: The whole troop.
Kuntz: The master plan for the 56~acre park which we would like to name some
day, if you have any ideas you could submit those to the Mayor and Council I'm
sure. The master plan for that is available as a colored drawing at the parks and
recreation office one block down Meridian Road here if you would like to see it.
We're open from 8 to 5. Included in the park, maybe I'll start with phase 1
because that's going to be built this summer. Will be about 25 acres of green
space that can be used for picnicking or soccer practices or those type of things.
It will include a 350 to 400 car parking lot. Will include a perimeter pathway. It will
include a restroom facility. It will include a playground facility and we're actually
working with a volunteer community group that's trying to design a special
playground facility for all abilities. Then of course, the most expensive thing in
phase 1 is all of the utilities from tiling the irrigation ditches that go through the
middle of the park to meeting all of Ada County Highway District requirements as
far as widening the road and turning lanes, getting all of the water and power and
sewer to the right places. Those things that you sometimes don't see or that go
underneath the ground are fairly expensive. Those are all included in phase 1.
Phase 2 is a little more exciting in that everything will be above ground. That will
include a 5 plex little league I softball facility, an additional 400 car parking lot, a
water feature that will be a zero depth type of thing with different kind of spray
heads and that type of thing located next to the playground facility, a roller
hockey pad. The plan has a Skate Park in it right now, basketball courts. Then in
phase 3 will be some tennis courts and an open-air market which will be located
right on the corner of Ustick and Meridian Road where that small white house is
now. There'll be different colored canopies with a restaurant facility, maybe a
kitchen and stage area. Those things can be used for farmer's markets, flea
markets, arts and crafts shows, weddings. Those type of things. I've kind of gone
through it real quickly but that gives you an idea of what's there. The other parks
that are on line for construction this summer are Chateau Park, which is a small
7-acre neighborhood park located on west Chateau Drive between Linder and
Ten Mile. Right now there's a portion of that that's already greened up because
the Homeowners Association deeded that 2 acres to the city to go with our other
4 acres. There'll be a park there. That includes small parking area, playground
facility, small picnic shelter, some basketball rounds we call them, which are
circular in nature and more apt for 3 on 3 play, a perimeter pathway and then a
large grass expanse area that could be used for picnicking or frisbee or those
type of things. Then of course Generation Plaza. We'll be opening that up June
1 st. It's almost complete downtown here. The five-mile creek pathway is being
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 47
built now. That is along Five-Mile Creek. It starts at Meridian Road and proceeds
west all the way over to Linder road. We're hoping to have thatopen in the end of
June. Then the last one is Bear Creek, which is an 18-acre park south of the
freeway just off of Stoddard road, which is in the area of where Roaring Springs
is now. That's an 18-acre site. Phase 1 of that includes parking, grassing the
entire area up. Phase 2 will be a couple of baseball fields, playground equipment,
picnic shelters and possibly a couple tennis courts.
Corrie: Thank you Tom.
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
De Weerd: It's great that you have something to report.
Corrie: Mr. Berg, did you have something?
Berg: Yes. Mr. Mayor members of Council, just a reminder of our joint meeting
with ACHD on April 30th at noon. They would like some more items added to the
agenda and I put a draft agenda in your box to look at. I need to get those to her
tomorrow so she can put them in her announcement. A time before that I put a
notice about their impact fee ordinance that they are amending. There is going to
be another hearing on May 7th. I don't know if there's any input that you want to
give them concerning that. If you do think of something, if you'd get that to me
tomorrow morning first thing I'd appreciate it.
Corrie: Okay. Thank you.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor
Corrie: Mrs. De Weerd:
De Weerd: Is that here or there?
Corrie: There.
De Weerd: We never meet here.
Corrie: It's easier for everybody to go there. We pay for our part and they pay
for theirs.
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Corrie: Mr. Anderson:
Anderson: Mr. Mayor. I would like to request a short executive session to
discuss some personnel matters.
MerIdian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 48
Bird: I would second it.
Corrie: Okay. Motion's been made and second to go into executive session for
personnel matters. Any further discussion? All those in favor say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Corrie: Before we go, I wan to thank the scouts for being here tonight. Next time
come in another time and we're glad to have you and maybe we can answer
some more questions for you. You had one? Yes.
Bird: We missed one.
Batallia: My name is Matt Batallia. I'd like to wonder about high schools because
"II be in high school in 2 years. So far my high school I'm scheduled to go to so
far, it'll take at least 45 minutes for my bus to get there. I was wondering if a new
high school will be built soon?
Corrie: Hopefully the one on Locust Grove will be built in 2003. You might be
able to hit that one. I don't know. That depends upon the school system. We
don't have any control over that. You'll either go to either to Meridian high or
Eagle high or maybe Centennial or the new one. I know that's not a good answer
but hopefully they'll have it done by the time you're a senior.
Batallia: Thank you.
Corrie: You bet. One more. Yes
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Hoffsign: My name is Dave Hoffsign. I'm wondering on Meridian BMX track. The
closest one that we have is Kuna. That takes a lot of gas mileage going to there
from here, take about a half an hour to get there. Going there 7 days a week
takes a lot of money and that. I was wondering if there could be any possible way
to construct that track in Meridian?
Corrie: That's going to be a good question. I don't think it's on the drawing
board as such. It might be that we could add it to one of the parks that we're
doing and planning for. I think it's probably a good question the Council needs to
put in their minds. We can talk to the parks director and see if he can put it in one
of the parks or that. There has not been a plan for that at the present time. Good
point, good question.
Anderson: Mid term there's a make shift one down on Pine street. I don't know if
you're familiar with that one.
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 24, 2001
Page 49
Hoff sign: Yeah, an official one.
Anderson: Okay.
Bird: How many, excuse me Mr. Mayor. How many acres do you need for a BMX
park?
Hoffsign: It would just be a large arena -
Bird: Two, three acres or what?
Hoffsign: About maybe five.
Bird: Five acres. Would that include the parking or would that just be the
participant's area?
Hoffsign: Five to 10 acres.
Bird: Because you need the parking for the people coming?
Hoffsign: That would all be included.
Bird: You evidently are a participant of the BMX races and stuff. Who owns most
of - are these tracks that you're going to privately owned, organization owned or
city owned?
Hoffsign: This is nation wide owned. All the tracks are owned by a committee, but
they lease like Happy Heart Arena and they lease a lot of tracks. It's all like the
ABA and nationally owned.
Bird: Do they help fund any of the buying of some of these tracks. I know some of
them don't have the arenas to go like Happy Heart and all them like Kuna has out
there, you do the indoor. The Meridian Lions Club has a rodeo yearly and they
have to look for. Luckily they haven't built out there on the corner. I know that
their rodeo group is looking for land too. That might be a very good marriage
between a rodeo grounds and a BMX. You could put the BMX inside the rodeo
grounds. You might approach the Lions Club too.
Hoffsign: Just saying you know for consideration.
Bird: Thank you.
Corrie: Okay. With that we will adjourn into executive session.
De Weerd: Do we need a vote?

CITY OF MERIDIAN
DESIGN OF GRIT REMOVAL, UV DISINFECTION,
AND EFFLUENT DISPOSAL FACILITIES
I. DEFINITION OF PROJECT
CONSUL T ANT will complete the design and construction supervision of grit removal, UV
disinfection and effluent disposal facilities to meet a projected 20-year future peak plant flow of
16.2 MGD as described below:
New Grit Basin: Provide design for a new 10.2 MOD grit removal basin increasing total
grit removal capacity up to 16.2 MGD (estimated 20 year peak hour flow). The existing
grit washer will be used for both the existing and new grit basins by operating on a timer.
UV Facilities: Expand current UV facilities from 5 MGD to a capacity of 10.6 MGD and
provide structure and facilities capable ofuItimate expansion to 16.2. The UV system will
be designed to maintain compatibility with the present Trojan UV 3000 system as desired
by plant staff. The existing UV building will house new controls and function for winter
lamp cleaning, therefore, a new building will not be required.
Effluent Pipeline: Expand the 5 Mile Creek effluent pipeline capacity from 7 MOD to 16.2
MOD by installing a parallel 24-inch discharge line to 5 Mile Creek. The Boise River
outfall discharge capacity will remain at 5 MOD.
Effluent Facilities Modification: Provide a new plant effluent discharge structure and
effluent metering facilities.
Metering: Provide metering for the Boise River outfall discharge facilities.
Weir Expansion: Expand weir length on the downstream side of the old chlorine contact
basins so as to lower hydraulic backwater to the filters and allow greater future flow without
short circuiting. This would include additional weir gates and walkway access to the weir
gates.
II. BASIC ENGINEERING SERVICES
A. PRE-DESIGN
A written pre-design report will not be provided. Instead, a meeting will be arranged to
review and discuss recommended preliminary facility layouts and concepts prior to
proceeding to detailed design.

Re: One additional item for April 24, 2001 City Council Meeting
I would like to add one additional item to the Parks Department Report for your approval.
5) 58-Acre Tilina Proiect- We opened bids on March 19, 2001 for tiling the irrigation
ditches at the 58-acre park. We had one bid for $81,112.00 from Paul Construction of
Meridian. . .
Four days prior to the opening, we received a letter from JUS Engineers indicating
their client, Kevin Howell, was no longer willing to allow the excess irrigation water to
run north across his properly to the White drain. The design and bid specs were laid
out around draining the excess water to the north.
Recommended Council Action: Based upon only one bid submitted and the
major change in design plans, we ask the Council to reject the low bid of
$81,112.00 from Paul construction.

Date: 04-23-01
Re: One additional item for April 24, 2001 City Council Meeting
I would like to add one additional item to the Parks Department Report for your approval.
5) 58-Acre Tilinq Proiect- We opened bids on March 19, 2001 for tiling the irrigation
ditches at the 58-acre park. We had one bid for $81,112.00 from Paul Construction of
Meridian. ' .
Four days prior to the opening, we received a letter from JUS Engineers indicating
their client, Kevin Howell, was no longer willing to allow the excess irrigation water to
run north across his property to the White drain. The design and bid specs were laid
out around draining the excess water to the north.
Recommended Council Action: Based upon only one bid submitted and the
major change in design plans, we ask the Council to reject the low bid of
$81,112.00 from Paul construction.

Re: Proposed agenda items for April 24, 2001 City Council Meeting
The Parks and Recreation Department respectfully requests the following items be
placed on the April24lh city Council agenda for Council's consideration:
~ Storey Park Master Plan Update- We are planning to make some changes in the
\..y front portion of Storey Park next fiscal year. In order for us to proceed, a master plan
update is required at this time. We have selected CT A Landworks Group to provide
this service at a cost of $4,425.00, which was included in our 2000-2001 budget. The
plan will include cost estimates to remove a portion of road between the Ch,amber
and 1st Street, installation of a new playground facility in the area of the vacated road,
and adding a small parking area for the Chamber and park she~er. These cost
estimates will assist us in preparing our park budget request for the 2001-2002 fiscal
year.
Recommended Council Action: Approve the agreement with CTA Landworks
Group to provide the Storey Park master plan update at a cost of $4,425.00.
and authorize the Mayor to sign and City Clerk to attest the contract
2) Storev Park Topoaraphic Survev- We were unable to find an accurate topographic
survey of Storey Park, which is necessary prior to starting on the Storey Park master
plan update. We have selected W&H Pacific, Inc., to provide this service at a cost of
$3,500.00, which was included in our 2000-2001 budget.
Recommended Council Action: Approve agreement with W&H Pacific, Inc. to
provide Storey Park topographic survey at a cost of $3,500.00 and authorize
the Mayor to sign and City Clerk to attest the contract
3) Chateau Park Construction Desiqn- This year's Park's budget includes funding for
the construction of phase one of Chateau Park. The master plan for the park was
. Page 1
approved by the City Council and we have selected CT A Landworks Group to
provide the design specifications necessary to bid construction of phase one. The
fee for design services is $10,172.00 and does not include architectural services for
the design of the restroom. We anticipate using a restroom design from Boise City
or the State Parks Department at cost of approximately $5,000.00.
Recommended Council Action: Award the contract to CT A Landworks Group
to provide design specifications for phase one of Chateau Park in the amount
of $10,172.00 and authorize the Mayor to sign and City Clerk to attest the
contract
4) Skate Park Site Selection- A new potential site for the skate park has been identified
at Tully Park. At the April Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting, the
Commission recommended siting the skate park at the new 58-acre park. Staff has
safety concerns with that site related to lack of sidewalks on Ustick Road from all
directions. Staff recommends the skate park be sited at Tully Park due to the safe
and convenient access along Linder Road from Meridian Middle School and
Meridian High School. We would appreciate the opportunity to this issue and make
a final decision on the skate park site.

RE: Storey Park Master Plan Update
Dear Tom:
CTA LandWorks Group is pleased to provide this estimate of Landscape Architectural
Services for a Master Plan Update to Storey Park. Thanks, Tom, for your continuing tmst in
CTA LandW orks -- we are excited at the prospect of working with you again.
Per our earlier conversations, we understand that you would like the Storey Park Master Plan
Update to take a comprehensive look at the existing park and propose long-t~rm
improvements. Our master planning efforts will address the following considerations:
· Re-design of vehicular circulation for improved safety and flow, especially the
primary intersection within the park.
. Removal of a portion of road within the park.
· Redesign of parking areas east of the speedway and near the pool, to minimize
pedestrian/automobile conflicts
· Determination of optimal number of parking spaces based on proposed uses.
· Design of additional parking for the picnic shelter, in conjunction witIl existing
Chamber parking
. Placement of a large playground stlUcture with swings, as well as the possible
addition of a small play stmcture near tIle ball fields.
· Proposed recreational uses for 5-acre parcel of land, currently under lease to the
Meridian Speedway.
· Conceptual landscaping.
We suggest the following scope of services to accomplish this work:
1. Base Map Production
We will work off a current topographic survey provided by the City of Meridian (in
AutoCAD or Microstation format) to create an accurate base map for master
planning purposes. If desired, we are available to assist you in coordinating the
survey, but have not included coordination time in this fee estimate.
2. Project Kick-off Meeting
We will. meet with you and City of Meridian staff on site to discuss your vision for
the project, and review your goals and objectives. We will. conduct a brief site
analysis to determine current function of tlle site, opportunities for improvement,
and any other contextual issues that may have an impact on park design.

3. Conceptual Design
erA will provide a design concept for Storey Park to show how the desired
improvements might be integrated. Playgrolll1ds will be laid out based on typical
playgrolll1d footprints provided by the City. Detailed design of the composite
playground equipment and swings will be handled by the City outside the scope of
tlus contract.
4. Design Review
We will present the initial park master plan concept to you for review and
discussion. At this point, the City may wish to hold a public meeting to solicit input
on the proposed plan. CT A LandW orks is available to participate in this meeting, if
desired, but that cost has not been included in this fee estimate.
5. Final Plan
Based on public and design review input from the City, we will refine the concept
into a final plan.

Re: Proposed agenda items for April 24, 2001 City Council Meeting
The Parks and Recreation Department respectfully requests the following items be
placed on the April 24th city Council agenda for Council's consideration:
1) Storey Park Master Plan Update- We are planning to make some changes in the
front portion of Storey Park next fiscal year. In order for us to proceed, a master plan
update is required at this time. We have selected CT A Landworks Group to provide
this service at a cost of $4,425.00, which was incfuded in our 2000-2001 budget. The
plan will incfude cost estimates to remove a portion of road between the Ch,amber
and 1 st Street, installation of a new playground facility in the area of the vacated road,
and adding a small parking area for the Chamber and park shelter. These cost
estimates will assist us in preparing our park budget request for the 2001-2002 fiscal
year.
Recommended Council Action: Approve the agreement with CTA Landworks
Group to provide the Storey Park master plan update at a cost of $4,425.00.
and authorize the Mayor to sign and City Clerk to attest the contract
2) Storey Park Toooaraohic Survev- We were unable to find an accurate topographic
survey of Storey Park, which is necessary prior to starting on the Storey Park master
plan update. We have selected W&H Pacific, Inc., to provide this service at a cost of
$3,500.00, which was included in our 2000-2001 budget.
Recommended Council Action: Approve agreement with W&H Pacific, Inc. to
provide Storey Park topographic survey at a cost of $3,500.00 and authorize
the Mayor to sign and City Clerk to attest the contract
f30 Chateau Park Construction Desian- This year's Park's budget includes funding for
\...V the construction of phase one of Chateau Park. The master plan for the park was
. Page 1
approved by the City Council and we have selected CT A Landworks Group to
provide the design specifications necessary to bid construction of phase one. The
fee for design services is $10,172.00 and does not include architectural services for
the design of the restroom. We anticipate using a restroom design from Boise City
or the State Parks Department at cost of approximately $5,000.00.
Recommended Council Action: Award the contract to CTA Landworks Group
to provide design specifications for phase one of Chateau Park in the amount
of $10,172.00 and authorize the Mayor to sign and City Clerk to attest the
contract
4) Skate Park Site Selection- A new potential site for the skate park has been identified
at Tully Park. At the April Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting, the
Commission recommended siting the skate park at the new 58-acre park. Staff has
safety concems with that site related to lack of sidewalks on Ustick Road from all
directions. Staff recommends the skate park be sited at Tully Park due to the safe
and convenient access along Linder Road from Meridian Middle School and
Meridian High School. We would appreciate the opportunity to this issue and make
a final decision on the skate park site.

Re: Story Park Topographic Survey.
Dear Tom,
Thanks for meeting with me at Story Park last Thursday to discuss your requirements for a topographic
survey. W & H Pacific, Inc. is pleased to provide you a fee proposal for the topographic mapping of
Story Park. We spoke of the Ada County property and whether a boundary survey would be needed for
it. Let me know if that is something you would like to discuss further.
Our scope of services will include the following:
1. Establish vertical control based upon NA YO 88 vertical datum.
2. Establish horizontal control based upon found boundary corners per Record of Survey
Instrument number 9168335.
3. Map all existing cultural features including, but not limited to, parking areas, above ground
utilities, fences, ball fields, buildings, roads, etc.
4. Provide a digital terrain model (DTM) for any design purposes you may need and show
contours.
5. All information will provided to you in hard copy format as well as electronic files in a format of
your choosing.
The above scope of services may be performed for a lump sum fee of $3,500.00. We can begin work
upon written notice to proceed or will gladly conform to other procedures you may require. Thanks for
the opportunity to discuss this project with you and we look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
W&H PACIFIC

Tom.
I would very much like to do this work for you and have provided the following estimate for your
approval. r would like to emphasize that the estimate I initially prepared was what I consider to be
an accurate and fair amount for the scope of the project. I have reduced the scope by eliminating
a tie to the recent Ada County Flood Plain Elevation Project. Also, it is assumed that all corners
will be in, and in good condition, all ground measurements will conform to record data, and
existing corner record data will be current and useable. As this is an opportunity for our newly
formed department to provide surveying services to the Parks and Recreation Department of the
City of Meridian, I have disallowed any project contingencies, some of them mentioned above, as
well as any errors in estimation of time. The previously outlined topographic mapping for the
Story Park property and the boundary survey of the Western Ada Recreation District property can
be performed for a lump sum amount of $4,100.00.
Thanks for the opportunity to work on this with you.

Services. This project involves the design of approximately 2000 lineal feet of 12"
water line from the west side of Wilkens Ranch Subdivision to the north boundary of
the Autumn Faire preliminary plat. The water line will provide closure of a "loop" in
this area to ensure adequate fire flows in the area and to provide access to the well
lot in a future phase of Autumn Faire (shown on its preliminary plat). Also, Ada
County Highway District postponed, until at least Y2002, plans to overlay this section
of Ustick Road at our request to allow construction of this water main. Public Works
solicited a proposal for this work from Earl and Associates because they accumulated
a portion of the surveying required for this project during their design of Autumn Faire
Subdivision. A copy of the unsigned agreement is enclosed.

To: Mayor Corrie and City Council
From: Tom Kuntz
Date: 04-20-01
Re: Proposed agenda items for April 24, 2001 City Council Meeting
The Parks and Recreation Department respectfully requests the following items be
placed on the April 24th city Council agenda for Council's consideration:
1) Storey Park Master Plan Uodate- We are planning to make some changes in the
front portion of Storey Park next fiscal year. In order for us to proceed, a master plan
update is required at this time. We have selected CT A Landworks Group to provide
this service at a cost of $4,425.00, which was included in our 2000-2001 budget. The
plan will include cost estimates to remove a portion of road between the Ch.amber
and 1st Street, installation of a new playground facility in the area of the vacated road,
and adding a small parking area for the Chamber and park shelter. These cost
estimates will assist us in preparing our park budget request for the 2001-2002 fiscal
year.
Recommended Council Action: Approve the agreement with CT A Landworks
Group to provide the Storey Park master plan update at a cost of $4,425.00.
and authorize the Mayor to sign and City Clerk to attest the contract
2) Storey Park Toooaraohic Survev- We were unable to find an accurate topographic
survey of Storey Park, which is necessary prior to starting on the Storey Park master
plan update. We have selected W&H Pacific, Inc., to provide this service at a cost of
$3,500.00, which was included in our 2000-2001 budget.
Recommended Council Action: Approve agreement with W&H Pacific, Inc. to
provide Storey Park topographic survey at a cost of $3,500.00 and authorize
the Mayor to sign and City Clerk to attest the contract
3) Chateau Park Construction Desian- This year's Park's budget includes funding for
the construction of phase one of Chateau Park. The master plan for the park was
. Page 1
approved by the City Council and we have selected CT A Landworks Group to
provide the design specifications necessary to bid construction of phase one. The
fee for design services is $10,172.00 and does not include architectural services for
the design of the restroom. We anticipate using a restroom design from Boise City
or the State Parks Department at cost of approximately $5,000.00.
Recommended Council Action: Award the contract to CTA Landworks Group
to provide design specifications for phase one of Chateau Park in the amount
of $10,172.00 and authorize the Mayor to sign and City Clerk to attest the
contract
4) Skate Park Site Selection- A new potential site for the skate park has been identified
at Tully Park. At the April Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting, the
Commission recommended siting the skate park at the new 58-acre park. Staff has
safety concerns with that site related to lack of sidewalks on Ustick Road from all
directions. Staff recommends the skate park be sited at Tully Park due to the safe
and convenient access along Linder Road from Meridian Middle School and
Meridian High School. We would appreciate the opportunity to this issue and make
a final decision on the skate park site.

SCOPE OF WORK
AITACHMENT A
CITY OF MERIDIAN
DESIGN OF GRIT REMOVAL, UV DISINFECTION,
AND EFFLUENT DISPOSAL FACILITIES
I. DEFINITION OF PROJECT
CONSUL TANT will complete the design and construction supervision of grit removal, UV
disinfection and effluent disposal facilities to meet a projected 20-year future peak plant flow of
16.2 MOD as described below:
New Grit Basin: Provide design for a new 10.2 MOD grit removal basin increasing total
grit removal capacity up to 16.2 MOD (estimated 20 year peak hour flow). The existing
grit washer will be used for both the existing and new grit basins by operating on a timer.
UV Facilities: Expand current UV facilities from 5 MOD to a capacity of 10.6 MGD and
provide structure and facilities capable of ultimate expansion to 16.2. The UV system will
be designed to maintain compatibility with the present Trojan UV 3000 system as desired
by plant staff. The existing UV building will house new controls and function for winter
lamp cleaning, therefore, a new building will not be required.
Ejjluent Pipeline: Expand the 5 Mile Creek effluent pipeline capacity from 7 MOD to 16.2
MOD by installing a parallel 24-inch discharge line to 5 Mile Creek. The Boise River
outfall discharge capacity will remain at 5 MGD.
Ejjluent Facilities Modification: Provide a new plant effluent discharge structure and
effluent metering facilities.
Metering: Provide metering for the Boise River outfall discharge facilities.
Weir Expansion: Expand weir length on the downstream side of the old chlorine contact
basins so as to lower hydraulic backwater to the filters and allow greater future flow without
short circuiting. This would include additional weir gates and walkway access to the weir
gates.
II. BASIC ENGINEERING SERVICES
A. PRE-DESIGN
A written pre-design report will not be provided. Instead, a meeting will be arranged to
review and discuss recommended preliminary facility layouts and concepts prior to
proceeding to detailed design.

From: Tom Kuntz
Date: 04-20-01
Re: Proposed agenda items for April 24, 2001 City Council Meeting
The Parks and Recreation Department respectfully requests the following items be
placed on the April 24th city Council agenda for Council's consideration:
1) Storev Park Master Plan Uodate- We are planning to make some changes in the
front portion of Storey Park next fiscal year. In order for us to proceed, a master plan
update is required at this time. We have selected CTA Landworks Group to provide
this service at a cost of $4,425.00, which was included in our 2000-2001 budget. The
plan will include cost estimates to remove a portion of road between the Ch,amber
and 1 st Street, installation of a new playground facility in the area of the vacated road,
and adding a small parking area for the Chamber and park shetter. These cost
estimates will assist us in preparing our park budget request for the 2001-2002 fiscal
year.
Recommended Council Action: Approve the agreement with CT A Landworks
Group to provide the Storey Park master plan update at a cost of $4,425.00.
and authorize the Mayor to sign and City Clerk to attest the contract
2) Storey Park Tooooraphic Survev- We were unable to find an accurate topographic
survey of Storey Park, which is necessary prior to starting on the Storey Park master
plan update. We have selected W&H Pacific, Inc., to provide this service at a cost of
$3,500.00, which was included in our 2000-2001 budget.
Recommended Council Action: Approve agreement with W&H Pacific, Inc. to
provide Storey Park. topographic survey at a cost of $3,500.00 and authorize
the Mayor to sign and City Clerk. to attest the contract
3) Chateau Park Construction Desian- This year's Park's budget includes funding for
the construction of phase one of Chateau Park. The master plan for the park was
. Page 1
approved by the City Council and we have selected CT A Landworks Group to
provide the design specifications necessary to bid construction of phase one. The
fee for design services is $10,172.00 and does not include architectural services for
the design of the restroom. We anticipate using a restroom design from Boise City
or the State Parks Department at cost of approximately $5,000.00.
Recommended Council Action: Award the contract to eTA Landworks Group
to provide design specifications for phase one of Chateau Park in the amount
of $10,172.00 and authorize the Mayor to sign and City Clerk to attest the
contract
4) Skate Park Site Selection- A new potential site for the skate park has been identified
at Tully Park. At the April Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting, the
Commission recommended siting the skate park at the new 58-acre park. Staff has
safety concerns with that site related to lack of sidewalks on Ustick Road from all
directions. Staff recommends the skate park be sited at Tully Park due to the safe
and convenient access along Linder Road from Meridian Middle School and
Meridian High School. We would appreciate the opportunity to this issue and make
a final decision on the skate park site.
