MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING
FEBRUARY 27.2001
The regularly scheduled City Council meeting of the Meridian City Council was

2001.
Members Present: Robert Corrie, Ron Anderson, Tammy de Weerd, Cherie
McCandless, Keith Bird
Others Present: Bill Nichols, Gary Smith, Janice Smith, Tom Kuntz, Bill Gordon,
Catrina Thomas, Will Berg.
Corrie: We'll open the Meridian City Council regular meeting on Tuesday,
February 27,2001. Mr. City Clerk, will you take the roll call, please.
Item 1.
Roll-call Attendance:
L- Tammy de Weerd L- Ron Anderson
L- Cherie McCandless L- Keith Bird
L- Mayor Robert Corrie
Item 2.
Adoption of the Agenda:
Corrie: Council, you have seen that I have one request that we have. The City
Attorney would also like to add discussion to the Council about annexation along
with the Mill Levy rate update. Gary are you going to do the quality letter on
Water Department and discuss that as well?
Nichols: Yes Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Okay.
Nichols: John got me that information late this afternoon, so I have copies for
everybody with me.
Corrie: Okay. Janice has her report. Did anybody bring their report with them
tonight?
Bird: The budget?
Corrie: Okay, she would like to add that just for - if you want to do that then we
can put that on the next meeting, either one.
Bird: Mr. Mayor I think we need to accept the audit because it has been a month
and a half, and we need to get this so when the public comes in to ask for it we
need to have it available for them. So we can add that to the agenda, Mayor?
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27,2001
Page 2
Corrie: It is entirely up to you if you want - this was not on the original agenda.
Bird: With your permission I would like to add it as No. G.
Corrie: Okay, Janice Smith and audit acceptance. Okay with those additions are
there any others that Council has? Okay, under those auspices, I will entertain a
motion to approve the audit as amended.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move that we adopt the agenda.
Corrie: I am sorry it is the agenda Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move that we adopt the agenda as with the changes and with the
additions.
Anderson: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded that we adopt the agenda with the additions.
Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Item 3.
Public Hearing: Fee Schedule for Adult Softball Summer 2001
Leagues:
Corrie: At this time, I will open the Public Hearing and invite Parks to make the
presentation.
Thomas: My name is Catrina Thomas, and I am the Recreation Superintendent.
Basically, we are just asking for an increase. We have done a review based on
last year's fees, and with all the cost for upkeep, maintenance, and supplies, the
fee increase, we felt, would be conservative yet enough to cover all costs. A
team fee increase to $350 from $295 and then the player fees would remain the
same and the ASA fee has stayed the same.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Your umpiring probably went up to would be a reason for an increase,
would it not?
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27,2001
Page 3
Thomas: Last year it had already gone up but it was not in the budget as of that,
so yes it has.
Corrie: Any other questions?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay, since this a Public Hearing is there anyone from the audience who
would like to testify in this request for fee increase with the Adult Softball
Summer League?
Corrie: Okay, hearing none, Council, any other questions that you have.
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Okay, then I will request the Public Hearing be closed will a motion.
Bird: So moved.
De Weerd: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to close the Public Hearing. All those in
favor of the motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Corrie: Council, you have heard the request from Parks and Recreation for the
increase from $530 too possible total team fees to $585. Any discussion, if not I
will entertain motion on the request.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I move that we approve the new fee schedule for the Adult Softball
Leagues, summer 2001 to the proposed $585.
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to approve the fee schedule as requested by
the Adult Softball Summer League and the Parks and Recreation division. Any
further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES

Item 4.
Resolution No.
Committee:
: for Meridian Development
Corrie: Bill did we get a map or [egal with all this yet?
Nicho[s: Mr. Mayor, the purpose for having the item on the agenda is so that
Council can set what this area is. I believe it was pointed out to me personally by
Councilman Anderson that anytime you go to set a boundary by doing a radius
from one point you might take in half a [at or a quarter of a lot or some problem.
So it is easier to designate a specific area using the streets as a reference point.
So the purpose would be for the Council to discus and decide what they believe
that area to be, so that then we can put it in a map form to attach to the
resolution for the approval at another meeting.
Corrie: Okay, with that [ will open up discussion for the area of Current Renewal
No.1.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor and members of Council just for the benefit for those that are
in the audience and also for the record, we did receive a letter from Jim Johnson
the chair of the Meridian Deve[opment Committee which proposed that the area
for the Urban Renewa[ resolution this deteriorating or deterioration area would be
in his words: a one mile radius centered at East First and Pine. That took into
account the old Creamery and the vacant property along the railroad corridor.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: [t seemed to me that Councilman Bird had mentioned Fourth to
Fourth and then Fairview to Franklin.
Bird: That is what had originally been talked about in the Committee when [ had
been doing it. This one mile radius I have a hard time - I think that would almost
take in some of the undeveloped ground up off of Franklin, north of Franklin, and
I do not believe that it is financially responsible for us as a City Council to tie that
up in a tax deal. That is our major development area out there, but we had
originally discussed Fourth to Fourth and Franklin to Fairview. [do not think we
want to get a large area to start with our number one, but we want to get
something that is doable.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: Wasn't that discussed when they were here presenting in front of us
as an acceptable boundary?
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27,2001
Page 5
Bird: Yes. I had never heard of this one-mile radius.
De Weerd: Now you have to understand that this is just a designation of area
that has deteriorated that would not necessarily be your Urban Renewal area.
That would be designated with specific perimeters because it would not
encompass that whole area.
Bird: Well, if you read your resolution, certain property, to be described to be a
deteriorated area or a determinate certain property lists below.
Corrie: I think primarily you are going to have to set a perimeter somewhere in
the downtown area so that we can have the area of Urban Renewal take place in
that area. If I am not wrong, Mr. Counselor, just because that area takes in that
area does not have to mean that we take the whole thing at one time. We can do
it in increments of wherever we want to. Is that correct?
Nichols: Mr. Mayor and members of Council it is essentially correct. It is a two-
stage process. The first is to create an Urban Renewal project area then if you
get into any of the tax increment financing aspects of it that is a separate
process. In that separate process then you designate what that tax increment
area, it is called a Revenue Allocation area. You have to designate what that
specific area is for Revenue Allocation which takes in that property tax that is
coming from increased value. You can have an Urban Renewal project and a
Revenue Allocation area that are the same. You can have an Urban Renewal
project area, which is larger than the Revenue Allocation area. You have
flexibility, but it is a two step process, and this is merely the first step in the
process.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: I will put in my thoughts on it. I understand that you can have two
different area designations, but I think it is always simpler for the citizens to
understand if we were to define those as the same area. I also think at least the
logic and reasoning behind what I have heard for the Urban Renewal District is to
rejuvenate, rebuild areas that are rundown in town. To me it kind of goes against
the grain of why you are establishing it if you are going out into undeveloped
industrial areas that you know are going to develop anyway. To say that you are
going to make that part of that district because that is really not the case with
those areas, those are not rundown areas. They are just undeveloped areas that
are going to probably be developed shortly. I would be more in favor of the
original area that was told to us of the Fourth Street boundaries east and west
and the Fairview and Franklin.
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27, 2001
Page 6
Bird: I agree with him your honor.
Corrie: Okay, any other comments?
Anderson: I too believe that is a good first project area for a first step. It takes in
some areas that do need to be included in our downtown redevelopment area,
and it does help preserve a quarter area of the rail system, which is going to be a
major player in our years to come. I agree with those two.
Corrie: Any other comments?
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: If we have no other comments with the Attorney's approval, I would move
that we pass the resolution for the Meridian Development Committee stating the
boundaries as East Fourth to the east, West Fourth to the west, Fairview to the
north, and Franklin Road to the South.
Anderson: Second.
Corrie: Motion has made to have the boundaries of East Fourth Street to West
Fourth Street, and northern-south boundary being Fairview Avenue and Franklin
Road. Discussion?
Anderson: Not to split hairs but maybe just clarification because I am sure it will
come up in the future as - maybe Keith could clarify that motion too. A lot of
times there is confusion when you give a road like that, do you mean all partials
that affront that road?
Bird: No. Centerline in. I do not want to lose that one.
Corrie: This is to direct Attorney up the resolution and bring it at that point. Any
other discussion?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: We have heard the motion. Roll call vote Mr. Clerk.
Roll-call: De Weerd, aye; Anderson, aye; McCandless, aye; Bird, aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Corrie: The motion is carried. The resolution will be presented at - Bill could you
have it by the next meeting?
Meridian City Council Meeling
February 27, 2001

Nichols: Yes.
Corrie: Okay, thank you.
Item 5.
Ordinance No. 852: Amendment of Ordinance No. 852 for Water
I Sewer Connection Outside City Limits:
Corrie: Council has had that ordinance and if it is okay I will have the City Clerk
read the Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 852 by title only at this point.
Berg: Thank you Mr. Mayor. If I could ask for you, the attorney, as far as the
numbering, are we going to recognize this as amending this Ordinance or
creating a new number?
Nichols: Mr. Mayor and Members of Council and Mr. Clerk I would say we give it
a brand new number.
Berg: Thank you. Ordinance No. 01-910 an Ordinance for the City of Meridian
amending Ordinance No. 852 and providing new sections 9-1-161 and 9-4-26A9
of Title 16 of Chapter 1 and Section 26A of Chapter 4 and Title 9, Meridian City
Code to provide for administrative approval of limited water and sewer
connections to properties not currently within the city limits and providing an
effective date.
Corrie: You have heard the reading of the resolution by title only, just as a notice
to the public here tonight. What we will be changing primarily on this Ordinance
would be the fact that the Public Works Director shall have a chance if somebody
is in - let me read it. If a request connection is for a resident or multi-family
resident, not excluding full resident units, and if water service is readily available
to the effective partial without extension of service then if the Public Works
Director deems it in the best interest of the City to do so said connection may be
authorized by the Public Works Director without action by the City Council. If the
Director declines to approve the connection, request will proceed to the City
Council final decision. That is both water and sewer outside the City limits. With
having said that, is there anyone from the audience who would like to have that
amended Ordinance read in its entirety? Hearing none, Council any discussion?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: I will entertain a motion then on Ordinance NO.0191 0 amendment to the
Ordinance for water/sewer connection outside the City limits.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27, 2001
Page 8
Anderson: I would make a motion that we approve Ordinance No. 01910 for
water and sewer connections outside the City limits with suspension of the rules.
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to approve Ordinance No. 01910
amendment to Ordinance No. 852 for water and sewer connection outside of the
city limits with the suspension of rules. Any further discussion? Hearing none,
roll call vote, Mr. Clerk.
Roll-call: De Weerd, aye; Anderson, aye; McCandless, aye; Bird, aye.
Corrie: All ayes. Motion is carried for Ordinance No. 01-910.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Item 6.
Ordinance No. 01-911: Parking Regulations Ord inance:
Corrie: Mr. Clerk if you read that Ordinance No. 01-911, if you will read that by
title only at this point.
Berg: Thank you Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, Ordinance No. 01-911, an
Ordinance of the City of Meridian amending Section iOta Chapter 2 of Title 7
and enacting new Sections 13-16 to Chapter 2 of Title 7 Meridian City Code to
provide for parking regulations providing authority, providing for appointment of
volunteer parking enforcement officers, providing for training of volunteer parking
enforcement officers, and providing for authority of volunteer parking
enforcement officers and providing for an effective date.
Corrie: You have heard the reading of the Ordinance No. 01911. Is there
anyone in the audience who would like to have the Ordinance read in its entirety?
Let me explain just a little bit what this one is. What this does is having a
volunteer training of volunteers that will be able to go on private property such as
parking lots and that and checking primarily illegal parking on handicapped
parking. If they do not have a sign, they will enforce that parking, and it just
helps people with handicaps that have a good place they can park close to the
businesses. With that being said, Council, hearing that no one wishes to have
that full Ordinance read, I will entertain a motion if we have no more discussion.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move that we pass Ordinance No. 01-911, Parking Regulation Ordinance
with suspension of rules.
Meridian City Council Meeling ,
February 27, 2001

De Weerd: Second.
Corrie: Ordinance No. 01-911 has been ordered and having a second, is there
any further discussion? Hearing none, a roll call vote Mr. Clerk.
Roll-call: De Weerd, aye; Anderson, aye; McCandless, aye; Bird, aye.
Corrie: Okay, then Ordinance No. 01911 has been adopted.
MOTION CARRI ED: ALL AYES
Item 7.
Ordinance No. 01-912: Tully Park Dog Ordinance
Corrie: If the Clerk will read the Ordinance by title only at this point, please?
Berg: Thank you Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, Ordinance No. 01-912, an
Ordinance relating to Tully Park repealing subsection C of Section 2 Chapter 7 of
Title 8 of the Meridian City Code by the addition there to of a new subsection C to
provide for the allowance of dogs on leashes in Tully Park and providing an
effective date.
Corrie: Any further reading of Ordinance No. 01912 by title only? Is there
anyone in the audience who would like to have the Ordinance read in its entirety?
All it is was is we are allowing - Tully Park is open to public K-9 processing,
possessing a valid dog license are allowed in the park so long as they are
leashed and within control of their owner. The Council felt that we have the
parkway going through there, there will be people going through there with their
dogs, and do not want to have any complications with that matter there. Hearing
that, Council I will entertain a motion on Ordinance No. 01912.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I move that we approve Ordinance No. 01912 for the Tully Park Dog
Ordinance with suspension of rules.
McCandless: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to approve Ordinance No. 01912, Tully Park
Dog Ordinance with suspension of rules. Any further discussion? Hearing none,
Mr. Clerk roll call vote please.
Roll-call: De Weerd, aye; Anderson, aye; McCandless, aye; Bird, aye.
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27, 2001
Page 10
Corrie: All ayes. Motion carried on Ordinance No. 01-912.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Anderson: I just want to say I believe this is one large step for dogkind, and my
dogs will appreciate this.
De Weerd: Mine too.
Bird: Make sure they are on a leash.
De Weerd: Glad to accommodate you.
Bird: By the way on the news tonight, I think it was Tully Park, I just caught a
glimpse, but they had a little 4-month-old Golden Retriever out there going up
and down our slides with its owner. It was really cute.
De Weerd: Was it on a leash?
Bird: No that is what I was going to ask. What are we going to do when the ones
are on the playground?
Item 8.
Presentation by Sanitary Services regarding the 2000 Annual
Report for Solid Waste Collection Services:
Corrie: At this time I will let Steve, Bill or whoever would like to, you have 5
seconds, minutes, I am sorry Steve.
Sedlacek: My name is Steve Sedlacek. I think you all know me I am sure, well
about a month ago we handed in the annual report. I am sure you all have
questions after reading it thoroughly.
Anderson: It was such a fine report that I do not have any question.
Sedlacek: I am not sure actually how many of you brought it with you, but I know
Councilman Anderson has his.
De Weerd: I do not.
Bird: I have mine.
Corrie: I have read this thing so much that I made my State of the City Address
with it.
Sedlacek: I could it just open it up for questions if you want to get on with this,
but I did want to go through this just really briefly. We appreciate the opportunity
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27, 2001
Page 11
to serve the City of Meridian, and we just wanted to give this to you every year to
tell you how things are going, what is happening in the City. The City is
obviously growing very quickly. I did want to apologize to Councilperson
McCandless for spelling her last name wrong on the front. She pointed it out to
me.
De Weerd: Mine too. It is small de and then a space -
Sedlacek: As long as I am taking a whipping, I might as well -
De Weerd: Well, you know the City did it wrong too.
Anderson: And I am just Ron, you put Ronald in there.
Corrie: Is there anything he screwed up on yours Keith?
McCandless: He is not the Chairman; he is the President.
Sedlacek: Well, I guess everyone's is wrong, except the Mayors. Is that right?
Corrie: You got that.
Sedlacek: That is just page one. Let us move on to Page 2. I thought we would
be in the workshop session tonight and have a more informal presentation than
this, but I will just go through this quickly. Last year, which would be 1999, the
City generated about 53 million pounds of waste, and this last year we got up to
64 million pounds of waste, 20 percent increase. We expect an additional 20
percent increase at least in this coming year, 2001. These are calendar years
not fiscal years. So we will be over 75 million pounds waste hauled out of the
City. The next page may be-
De Weerd: Steve, do you think some of that is due to recycling?
Sedlacek: Some of the increase?
De Weerd: Well, it says recycling here. Why such an increase, maybe I should
put it that way.
Sedlacek: We will get to that. Let us postpone that question for just a minute.
Councilman Bird, on your copy you have a next page which has a title that says,
Waste Generation on the top. That should be one page later. I missed
paginated. Anyway, the next page starts Residential Collection. It talks about,
basically, the increased number of homes in the City of Meridian. On that Waste
Generation page that was miss placed in yours and perhaps on the Mayor's
copy. Of the 60 million pounds of waste, 30 million is coming from homes, 7 Y2
pounds per house per day, and about 2.5 pounds per person per day. That has

been steady. I mean basically the waste stream is growing because we are
building a lot of houses and a lot of people are moving to Meridian. We have as
you notice, in 1999 there was about 30 million pounds of waste also, and the
amount of disposal fees paid for that waste stream was about the same in 1999
as 2000. We did have 3 months of recycling in that period in the year 2000 so
that cut down the residential waste stream. That waste stream when we talk
about 64 million pounds generated does not include that which we have taken
away, and that is about - is that 10 tons a month, Bill? Yes, about 200 thousand
pounds a month we are taking out of the waste stream. That is a good thing.
We have come to the Council before and also the Solid Waste Committee and
said that your landfill fees are going up. We figured that is was going to be the
spring, what we find out now is that they are not going up until October 1, 2001,
which will the County's and City's next fiscal year. Basically, the county was able
to, instead of paying for a gas collection system at the landfill, they were able to
find someone to come in and put the landfill gas system in for free. They were
going to take that gas and generate electricity with it and then sell it, so for the
opportunity to generate that electricity someone is going to do a lot of the
installation of this gas control system. That is a good deal for the county, that is
a new change at the county level. You can still expect that the landfill fees with
be going up 20 percent or so would be my guest on October 1, 2001. We will
also have the cost of living increase at that point so I am sure there will be a Rate
hearing this fall. Moving on to commercial collection, this is where we are seeing
a tremendous amount of growth, the next two areas, about 15.5 million pounds of
waste in that system. We were lucky to convert to a front-loading type system a
few years ago; we can get a lot more stops per day. It is a lot more efficient. It
keeps our cost under control. Over the last three years, we have seen a 40
percent increase per year for three years in numbers of accounts. Last year it
was about 20 percent. We will be adding a third front-loading truck in the next
few weeks. We had one mainline truck with a back-up, now we are going to
have to have two mainline trucks with a back-up. For roll-off, which is the next
section of the report, both of those are construction accounts with the large 20,
30, and 40 cubic yard boxes and also permanent accounts that have compactors
such as Wal-Mart, Fred Meyer, RC Willey, and those kind of big accounts. We
have seen the waste load in 1999 grow from 10 million pou nds to 15 million
pounds in one year. We have gone from in 1997; we had one truck that operated
about 2 hours a day, now we have four trucks doing that. Three pretty much
everyday with a back up. A tremendous amount of waste being generated that is
a sign of the construction in the area. The next part of the report was on
recycling services. We obviously kicked of curbside residential recycling in
October. It has been very successful a 70 percent participation rate. That is a bit
higher than we expected. It is very good for a starting program. When we
started, we did not have any truck breakdowns. We had three new pieces of
equipment, and we are proud that we did not have any breakdowns. We bought
some good equipment, which was good. Well, obviously the City reaps the
benefit of the commodity revenue after paying for household hazardous waste
collection. That has brought the City about $9600 for the last three months of
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27,2001
Page 13
calendar year 2000. So you can be expecting about $3000 a month coming in
on that fund, and I know the Council has had discussion about what to do with
that money, how to spend it and that kind of a thing. It is up to you guys. The
household hazardous waste collection program has also been very successful.
We have gone to a monthly collection. It is the fourth Tuesday; it is outside right
now until 10 minutes ago. 18 thousand pounds of material taken out of the waste
stream. The excellent point of that is that that is a lot of weight, a lot of very toxic
material that could end up in your Waste Water Treatment Plan or in some body's
yard or in the sewer, whatever. That material is taken out for the cost of about
$7.10 a month, which is nothing. The County Commissioners are paying for the
disposal of that waste, and that is a big cost, and the fact that they are willing to
do that helps a lot. It is a very, very cost-effective program. We are happy to be
part of that. They are also doing the thermometer exchanges now. If you have a
mercury thermometer, Mayor Corrie was at the kickoff for that promotion, you
can exchange them for a digital thermometer for free at the collection event every
fourth Tuesday, and that gets the mercury out of the waste stream. We continue
with the phone book recycling in cooperation with US West Dex and Jackson's
Texaco. We had anther successful year at that. The used oil collection has
gone very well as you see in the graphs, I apologize I could not get page
numbers on this. I do not know why, but it just did not seem to take, but you can
see there was an initial spike in used oil collection. We have gone to a seasonal
fluctuation, where every spring and fall we are getting a spike of material, and we
should see that continue well into the future. That is 200-300 gallons of oil every
month taken out of the waste stream. Fall leave collection was continued again,
it was successful, and the Christmas tree recycling, we diverted about 2000 trees
from the waste stream. Those are taken to the landfill and ground up for cattle
bedding and shipped of to Simplot. For recycling services on the commercial side
as customers move into towns that are big commercial customers, Wal-Mart is a
good example. They recycle cardboard, Fred Meyer, RC Willey, and WinCo.
We haul that commodity to Western Recycling for recycling. That customer that
generates it gets paid for it, so we continue to do that of course every year we
have more and more diverted. Wood waste is diverted for those customers that
want to segregate wood like yellow freight or consolidated freight weighs, and
Jabil Circuit has a program to recycle integrated circuit tubes and reels from their
facility. They believe that recycling as much as they can is the best thing they
can do. It has no value, but Western Recycling is willing to take it and reuse it
somehow. I am not sure how they do it or what they use it for, but we haul that at
a reduced rate to get it out of the waste stream. Again, that is a new program in
the year 2000. So we will continue to work with commercial customers, and see
that they can recycle as much as possible. Second to last page on the report
talks about community involvement. We believe it is important to be part of the
community. We hope you think we are, and we provide donations in terms of
monetary donations and serves to a wide variety of functions in Meridian. I could
not list all of the Meridian churches on this because it got to long; so I just sort of
made a general category. Any questions so far? The last page of the report is
on program implementation and future issues. We are working towards getting a
Meridian City Council Meeling
February 27, 2001
Page 14
new facility on Ten Mile Road and Ustick very new the WasteWater Treatment
Plant just south of Five Mile Creek. We would like to build a shop and office and
a transfer facility. As the City grows, it is going to be - for example, we have paid
last year to the County $600,000 to throw the trash away at the landfill, and we
expect that will be $750,000 this year. Probably after a rate increase it will
exceed one million dollars. If we can get a transfer facility where we can cut
down that waste stream, segregate what we can, it will be much more cost
effective for us. More and more we have trucks traveling to the landfill, it
becomes a waste of time, frankly if we had an offloading facility here where we
could transfer the material onto a bigger truck and take the bigger truck to the
landfill, it becomes much more cost effective, and it helps up keep our rates
down, As the City grows we are going to be faced with issues, and so we like to
develop about a 10-acre parcel with this kind of a facility on it. I know
Councilman Anderson has seen the one in Weiser. It will not be anything like
that. I guess there really is not too much to report unless you had some
questions. I did have one other thing I wanted to ask about but go ahead.
Anderson: I have a question on the transfer station. Will that be a closed area?
Sedlacek: I would be a three-sided building.
Anderson: Also, is that manually sorted, or is it done by machines, or how does
the sorting take place?
Sedlacek: No, the sorting, we would evaluate loads coming in. For example, a
landscaper that brought in a truckload of grass. We would not have him dump on
the transfer station floor and push that into a trailer we would take it and put in a
roll-off box of to the side. Or if somebody brought in a load of wood, rather than
through it away, we would put it in a wood area. We would try to catch loads as
they came in. We are not going to have any mechanical sorting, or people hand
picking through waste. That is very dangerous, and it is costly too to run
conveyor belts and that kind of thing. We just want to be able to take as much, in
terms of discrete loads, and segregate them as we can. We are kind of doing it
the simple way, or as simple as possible.
Anderson: Kind of like they do at the landfill now. If you have tires or batteries or
wood or whatever, just kind of segregate it.
Sedlacek: For example, if we could segregate grass and allow for example,
customers or residents of Meridian to come to the facility and dump their grass
for free, we can take that grass to a dairy nearby and use it for cattle feed. Right
now it goes to the landfill and we pay to get rid of that. Well, there is no sense in
that if you can use it for something else. It is just a wiser use of the resource.
Meridian City Council Meeting:
February 27, 2001
Page 15
Anderson: I had a question on grass. People get their clippings from their yards,
bring it to you, can they feed that to cattle even knowing what chemicals are on
it?
Sedlacek: Well, Bill has done research on that.
Bill: There have been a number of tests done on that material. It works great for
sideage, feedlots, cattle dairy farms, so on and so forth. In fact, we have
identified one farmer who would love to take 6-10 tons a day. But we would have
a separate drop area for 40-yard rolloff boxes for wood waste that type of
material.
McCandless: Bill or Steve, which ever one, I had a question the other day from
someone who missed the telephone site and wanted to know if they could put it
out with their recycling bin.
Gregory: Unfortunately, that is one time a year event that US West does with
Western Recycling. It is a special product that they are geared up to take a
certain time of the year. Now, it is basically wince because the recycling center
cannot take those.
McCandless: Okay.
Bill: Because of glued backing and so forth it creates problems for them.
McCandless: Okay, thank you.
Corrie: Any other questions from Council?
Bird: I have none.
Sedlacek: I just had one thing I wanted to bring up. We provide the Council on a
monthly basis a lot of material about complaints, compliments, summaries on
household hazardous waste collection, and recycling. I know you guys do not
have enough paperwork that comes in your boxes, but I was wondering if there
might be a way for us to simplify our reporting to you. If there was something we
could do to make where you could get the information more succinctly, I guess.
Is there something that you do not want to see that we give you?
Anderson: Just a suggestion, I mean I appreciate the information it is good
information, but I could probably deal with a quarterly report.
Bird: I could too.
Sedlacek: Oh, okay.
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27,2001
Page 16
Bird: A summary would be great.
Sedlacek: Okay, I am not saying we - I mean we do get complaints; it is part of
the nature of the business, and we will miss the occasional customer, but we do
take care of our complaints, I hope.
Corrie: You evidently have because my phone has not been ringing on that type
of complaint in a long time. Maybe I get a letter, but you get it, and you handle it
that very same day, so you do a very good job. Thank you.
Sedlacek: And a thank you to Councilman Anderson for being on the Solid Waste
advisor committee.
Anderson: And not just because I work with you guys, but I think I could speak
for the Council to say that everybody has been very impressed with the job you
folks are doing, and you have cleaned up the image of the trash service in
Meridian, considerably. We appreciate all of the innovative programs that you
bring in and keep doing what you are doing.
Sedlacek: If there is anymore, we would love to hear about them, and I
appreciate your support.
Bird: Steve, can we get a copy of that report to the City Clerk's people for the
public, so that they can look at it?
Sedlacek: Certainly. Thank you.
Anderson: Thank you very much.
Corrie: Good report.
Item 9.
Meridian Chamber of Commerce Lease Agreement:
Corrie: Tom, are you going to postpone that one, or do you have a comment
that you are not ready for yet?
Kuntz: We had a meeting scheduled today, but some of the Chamber members
were not able to make it. Our attorney and myself met anyway just to kind of
discuss some issues, but we have rescheduled that for next Friday morning.
Corrie: Okay. Thank you
Item 10.
Department Reports:
A.
Mayor's Department - Mayor Robert Corrie:
Meridian City Council Meeting

Page 17
1 . Claire Bowman - Discussion on the Locust Grove Overpass
with ITD:
Corrie: I have asked Claire to come tonight and kind of give us a rundown with
what COMPASS has been asked to do, and I with therefore let you have at it.
Bowman: My name is Claire Bowman. I am the Director of the Community
Planning Association. I apologize for my less than official attire tonight; I have
been out of town and just flew back in.
Bird: You will be just like us.
Bowman: The Community Planning Association annually puts together a
document called a transportation improvement program that portrays a five year
picture of what transportation projects, that is broadly conceived, that is
roadways, public transportation, commuter ride share, all of the methods of
transportation in the valley except air. I get their projects into that document that
they anticipate or we anticipate will be constructed over the next five years. They
are listed annually, and generally the first three years of that is considered a
done deal. Those are projects that are far enough along through the design,
right-of-way acquisition cycles, whatever the bid process for busses or whatever
the project is, and the funds are pretty well allocated. The fourth and fifth years
are less firm but still the intent is that those projects will move forward as the
previous three years get constructed and taken of the books. Lastly, we do a
preliminary development year which has no year attached to it.
*** End of Side One ***
Bowman: -- Beyond into the future. It is there because for federally funded
projects, you cannot even do preliminary engineering or surveying work until a
project is in that transportation improvement program. So the TI P has in it five
years worth of projects plus a preliminary development setup. We do this
annually. For the last 25 years, that document has covered just Ada County. One
of the features of it is that the COMPASS Board or what used to be the Ada
Planning Association Board has to concur on how those projects move from one
document to the next annual version of it. We have been doing that for 25 years.
We anticipate because of the new Census results that this process will have to
be done on a two county basis beginning probably in fiscal year 2003. There
could be somethings at the Census Bureau that take a bit longer than we
anticipate, and it might be fiscal year 2004 before that would apply. That is
background. The Idaho Transportation Department within Ada County right now
uses the COMPASS Board as the priority setting mechanism for the projects.
Outside of Ada County in the rest of District 3, which includes Canyon County,
and the other 9 counties of southwestern Idaho, the Idaho Transportation
Department essentially sets those priorities themselves. I do not know how many
of you are familiar with the work that was done in deciding how and whether to
Meridian City Council Meeling
February 27, 2001
Page 18
put the Karcher interchange into that program as opposed to some alternative to
it, but those recommendations coming out of the study team on the Karcher
interchange went directly to the Idaho Transportation Board because they are the
decision maker outside of Ada County on how those priorities get set. After the
area grows large enough that we have to do a two county version of this
transportation document then ITD will not be in that loop anymore, it will be the
COMPASS Board making those decisions within the Ada and Canyon County
urbanized area. Pam Lowe, the new district engineer at District 3 for the Idaho
Transportation Department, came to the COMPASS Board this last month asking
them if they would begin in a very small way this process a couple of years early
and give some regional recommendations on priorities for the two county area to
the Idaho Transportation Board. She would then do her best in the development
of the new transportation improvement program to move projects from
preliminary development into a construction year that would be matched with the
priorities set by the COMPASS Board. Secondly, projects that are not currently in
the program at all that would be moved into preliminary development would be
moved in in priority order as established by the COMPASS Board. That was her
request, the board agreed with that. She will be coming back to the Board on
March 19, 2001 to have the Board take action on projects. At the Board meeting
last week, the Board also suggested that the Executive Committee, which meets
tomorrow afternoon for COMPASS, should do a preliminary review of these
projects and make a recommendation to the full Board on what those priorities
are. I have taken a little bit more time than I probably needed to in the way of
background, but I want to be sure you all understand the nature of this decision
making process that is going on here. Now, down to the nitty-gritty, what are
projects that are effected? There are three projects in preliminary development
that are covered by her request for what projects out of the existing program
should be moved out of preliminary development into a fiscal year for
construction. The new transportation improvement program will cover fiscal years
2002-2006 plus preliminary development. So what is it that is in preliminary
development that gets moved into a funding cycle in 2006? The three projects,
and this is a case where I did not have a chance to get back to the office after I
got back in here this afternoon, I know there are three. One of them is the Locust
Grove Overpass, one is improvements to Exit 29 that is the east-west version of
Franklin Road at Caldwell, and it is the first Caldwell exit as you head west
bound. Do you know what the third one was?
Anderson: It is the Franklin exit in Nampa, and they built one overpass next to
the other one and they want to raise the grade.
Bowman: Yes, thank you. When they built the new overpass, they built it to the
new specifications with a two-span, single post in the middle, The other one is a
five-span facility at a lower level, and they have to take it out at some point and
replace it, that was the third one. So the COMPASS, the Executive Committee
tomorrow, and then the COMPASS Board on March 19, 2001 is being asked to
make a recommendation to the Idaho Transportation Department on what
Meridian Clty Council Meeting
February 27, 2001
Page 19
priorities those three projects should have for moving out of preliminary
development into a construction cycle. The dollars are quite different. The Locust
Grove Overpass has in it only about 3 million dollars or slightly less of Idaho
Transportation Department funds; I think it is 2.7 million dollars. The Exit 29
improvements it is about a 13-14 million-dollar project. The city of Caldwell has
pledged 2 million of that. I think it is 11-12 million that the Idaho Transportation
Department still has pending there, and I do not know the numbers on the
Franklin Road, Nampa construction, but typically an overpass like that is in the
vicinity of 5 million, approximately to replace that overpass. The second request
from Ms. Lowe to the COMPASS Board was what new project should get moved
into preliminary development if there is space to move anything in. I know of two
there that she mentioned specifically, I believe there was one more, and then
obviously this is a category where the COMPASS Board is eligible to come up
with new projects on its own. One of those is to study the extension of State
Highway 16, southward across the river connecting to a potential sight at a Ten
Mile interchange in the future. A second one of those is to extend the center turn
lane on State Highway 44 west of Eagle. And the third one that I know of is the
widening of 2026, Chinden Boulevard from Exit 29 to the east approximately to
Black Cat, I believe, it might be Ten Mile. Those are the projects that are
currently on the plate for being considered moving into a preliminary
development cycle, so that preliminary engineering could be initiated on them.
This is only one slice of the entire transportation improvement program process;
it is a slice that is very difficult for ITD and with all of the two county work that is
going on right now. It is their request that COMPASS take this task on. It seems
very appropriate, and the Board was unanimous last week in agreeing to take
this task on. The difficulty now becomes, this is where the rubber meets the road,
and my suspicion is Mayor Corrie will attend the Executive Committee meeting
tomorrow. You are all welcome to come only the Executive Committee members
are allowed to vote, but it is an open meeting and anyone would be welcome. I
believe it is being held at St. Luke's, in the downstairs level of the St. Luke's
Meridian medical center. That is probably a lot more than you ever wanted to
know about transportation planning, but it gives you a little bit of background, and
I would be happy to try to reply to any questions.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: I have a couple questions. Claire, one is, I do not mean to be offense
but I am just trying to find this out for my mind because I do not understand how
it works, and I was not here when it was the Ada Planning Board, but you said
that the State Highway Transportation Department takes the recommendations of
what used to be Ada Planning but now it is COMPASS at some point in the past
was there a vote or something that was given that basically gave COMPASS the
prerogative to be a negotiator or to make a recommendation for the City of
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27,2001
Page 20
Meridian. I mean I do not understand that past there, maybe you could fill me in
on that.
Bowman: Mr. Mayor, Mr. Anderson good question. That is a piece of background
in front of where I began, and it is a very relevant piece. In areas which have a
central city of 50,000 population or larger, all funds from the US Department of
Transportation into that area must go through an agency called a Metropolitan
Planning Organization, MPO for short. That Metropolitan Planning Organization
must have board members representing 90% of the population, and it must be
blessed by the Governor before it can function as that federally required agent
through whom the funds are dispersed. Ada Planning Association was so
designated in 1977 for Ada County. That was a time when I believe Meridian just
left - Meridian was a member when it was ACOG, and I believe when the turmoil
in the summer of 1977 over your Planning and Zoning Administration caused the
demise of ACOG. I believe Meridian was not a member at that point, but they
were not required to be a member because at that time the urbanized area
encompassed only the City of Boise and Garden City. The Governor's
designation not only applied then but also applies on in to the future unless there
is a specific action taken to resend it. The role of Ada Planning Association now
COMPASS in Ada County is still recommending only to the Idaho Transportation
Department. They do not have to honor our priorities. When the urbanized area
around the City of Boise reaches 200,000 population, which it will in this Census,
there is no doubt. We will be up around 260,000-270,000, something like that.
Then the Idaho Transportation Department has a different role with the
COMPASS Board; the COMPASS Board has a lot more say about the priority
and which projects move forward. And we anticipate that Nampa will have an
urbanized area with 50,OOO-population threshold as well, Nampa-Caldwell. Right
now we anticipate COMPASS will become the Metropolitan Planning
Organization there as well. It does not have to happen that way, but that is way
our organization has shaped the way it has over the last year and a half to grow
and why we include Canyon County members right now.
Anderson: That answers that question, I guess I do not know if you were, but I
was a little bit confused because we had been negotiating with Ada County
Highway District and with the State of Idaho on the overpass deal, and I believe
that contract was signed. It seemed like that contract, to me, was a binding
agreement that sets forth specific years and things like that. It seems like the
process is a little bit backwards to now have COMPASS go in to make their
recommendations after they have already signed a contract, but if that is how the
process works, then that is how it works.
Bowman: I was not aware that that contract had dates in it.
Corrie: It stated by 2006, and it only stated it if ITD came up with the money in
hand.
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27, 2001
Page 21
Bowman: With their 2.7 million in hand, okay.
Corrie: They pledged that but it did not necessarily mean they have it.
Bowman: I saw their disclaimer. I did not see the 2006 date in there.
Anderson: They had a disclaimer in there that would give them some wiggle
room to get out of that. Then my other question is, when I look at these projects
and I look at the dollar value of them, I mean if I look at the Caldwell project
alone, I mean if it is a matter of prioritizing that you ought to do this, this, and this.
We you could do the two projects with a cost of the one project in Caldwell, so do
they give you a dollar figure when you are going to do your recommendation to
them so that you have a choice of accomplishing two things verses one? Tell us
which one you think is the most important. I mean that seems like an important
bit of information.
Bowman: You are right on target. There were questions like that that came up at
the Board meeting last week. Again, that is a good question. Short answer is we
know nothing about how many dollars are available. It is conceivable there will
not be enough dollars to move anything forward. It is conceivable that there will
be enough dollars to move two forward. Of those three that are in preliminary
development right now, two of them have local participation, and ITO has agreed
that they will do whatever they can when there is significant local participation. To
move those projects ahead faster than those projects which have no local
participation, and that really brings it down to Locust Grove Overpass and the
Exit 29 improvements. I do not know how risky the Idaho Transportation Board
will get. They have an outstanding lawsuit right now on the Flying Y that could
cost them a great deal. They also have, I suppose Mr. Kuntz will appreciate this,
about a 9 million dollar overrun on their landscaping contract. Essentially they
forgot to put it in.
Bird: It was left out of the bid.
Corrie: Pam Lowe, she called me, was also the fact where you may prioritize
and Meridian may be number three that the ITO might only have 3 million dollars
they would take us over the others.
Bowman: Yes, they might jump it forward, exactly.
Corrie: And your recommendation is exactly that, a recommendation, and they
will look at their funds and make the decision after they have the fact of how
much money they have.
Bowman: That is my understanding as well.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27, 2001
Page 22
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: In the past, what kind of criteria has COMPASS or Ada Planning,
what did they look at when they were trying to prioritize those lists?
Bowman: We tried to keep our ice cubes in our glass. All transportation planning
is a political process from my perspective, and that means it is negotiation; it is
informing; it is collaborating with other folks; it is trying to reach consensus on
what needs to go next. Typically, in the development of that new version of a
transportation improvement program we are dealing primarily with what projects
are in one year that need to move back or need to move forward, or what
projects need to move into someplace. So instead of the several hundred
projects that are in that document all being up in the air every year, it usually
comes down to 7,8,9, or 10 projects. For the most part, the Board and my staff
have acted on a consensus based decision making process. It is pretty clear as
move to a two-county area of responsibility that that is not going to happen as
frequently anymore. It will come down to votes at the COMPASS Board; I
suspect, and Mayor Corrie and I had a conversation about this the other day. He
was right on in saying there is no consensus here. We are not likely to get a
consensus on which of these two projects: Locust Grove or Exit 29
improvements are number one on the COMPASS's Board list. My guess is it
comes down to voting, and that is probably the way it will be in the future, so we
are in a change period.
De Weerd: It just seems like Meridian over the next several years is going to
really have some urgent priorities, Locust Grove and their Emergency Response
and with the new high school going in that the two other overpasses: Meridian
and Eagle are over capacity as it is. Meridian needs to be improved; they are not
going to improve that until we have another interchange, and we do not see our
other interchange on these lists yet. Which they have been on ours for 20 years,
so it is just very difficult now not only were we competing with Ada County now in
the past. Now we are competing when it is finally supposedly maybe our turn,
now we are competing against Canyon County too. We have two really urgent
road projects coming up, so we have to really campaigning with these political
voters, is that what I am hearing, or can we not sell our case numbers and
community support and that sort of thing, then we are pitting city against city.
Bowman: Mr. Mayor, Mrs. de Weerd in practice that is what has been going on
for many years.
De Weerd: And that is why we have always lost.
Bowman: It simply has been going at the Idaho Transportation Board level
instead of a local level. The conflict or the decision making between Ada and
Canyon County was below the surface. It never was open and apparent, but it
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27, 2001
Page 23
was there. I guarantee you it was there. We have seen it a number of times over
the last 7 or 8 years, but it has not happened in an arena where there is public
discussion about it. We are taking something that has been going on, this new
request brings that up to the surface and puts it in the hands of the group where
it will ultimately reside. And doing it a little bit earlier than the federal rules would
require. That is really all that is happening here.
Corrie: We are not precluded to talk to Monte McClure. He is our representative
on the ITD Board; we can still talk to him and lobby him as well. There is
probably going to be another kicker in there that is going to be the Ten Mile
interchange. We do not know right yet where that is coming from, how much
money is involved, or who is involved yet. We know it is going to be an
involvement very shortly, and that is another equation figure that is coming in and
can make a lot of difference all over the county. Like I said it does kind of put city
against city, but we have always done that, and you have to compromise, work
with each other, and that is what we try to do. As you said, it has not come to the
surface until now.
Bowman: Would you want me to explain to the rest of the Council how that work
if that project does come in? How the process is likely to work?
Corrie: Yes that might be a good idea.
Bowman: The Locust Grove overpass has a great deal of participation by the city
of Meridian and the Ada County Highway District. Therefore, the percentage is
almost 2/3 of it, a little over two-thirds of it in fact, comes from the City of
Meridian and Ada County Highway District as local funds to Idaho Transportation
Department. My sense is they will try to push that project much more
aggressively than the Exit 29 because in the Exit 29 case, the city of Caldwell
has pledged maybe 15-20 percent of the total project. The Idaho Transportation
Board is on record saying that as a policy that when locally funding exists they
will do what they can to move that forward. If a Ten Mile interchange proposal
comes in with significant, 50 percent or more funding from local developers or a
combination of local developers and municipal funds or something like that, and
there is no such competing project elsewhere in the state. Essentially, what will
happen is that Ada County - ITD will not do it immediately - it still takes 5 or 6
years to design and get all the permissions and get those things ready for
construction. But they would do what they can under their current policy
essentially to take dollars that would normally be spent elsewhere in the state
and bring them in to fund that project. That one would probably not compete with
these others that we are talking about here. It would be an overlay. It would be
one that comes in because of a different policy application at the Idaho
Transportation Board level. If it is a 10 or 11 million dollar project and there is 6
million dollars from local funds of some sort chances are that one would simply
be moved into a construction that is 5 or 6 years out. It might go into preliminary
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27, 2001

development at first with a move as soon as they get the preliminary engineering
to be sure that they are in the right ballpark on the cost proposals and all of that.
De Weerd: Would that go through COMPASS then for priority?
Bowman: You bet it would. Any other questions?
Corrie: Any questions at this point?
Bowman: Thank you very much.
Corrie: I thank you for coming this evening, you have set a good light to the
Council, better than I could have done.
Bowman: Always a pleasure, thank you.
Corrie: My part comes tomorrow.
Bird: Thank you Claire.
2. Special Report by the Mayor:
Corrie: My special report is that I want to invite each one of the Council people
to the State of the City Address Thursday morning at 7:30am. Are all of you
going to be able to make that? I think Keith and Tammy and Cherie, how about
you will you be able to be there?
Anderson: Sure, I can be there.
Bird: Are you sure you can get up that early?
Corrie: That is right to the north, the church of the life center, there, gymnasium
area at the Ufe Center. Third and Pine. That was my special report, so that you
all will enjoy my speech as much as I did preparing it. We got it in the final stages
today, and I compared it to last year, the number of pages. Last year it was 15,
this year it is 40, and I cut it down 40 pages at that one, so I will make sure we
will get out of there by 9am, but that I assure you.
B. Council person Tammy de Weerd:
1. City Seal Update:
De Weerd: You all have a memorandum from me that gives you a summary of
the responses that we got from the different departments. We did receive
comments from Public Works, Planning and Zoning, Accounting, and the Parks
and Recreation Department. The parks Department felt that it was time for a new
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27,2001
Page 25
logo, but the did not like what they had as choices. What they did like was the
font, the center of the Treasure Valley, and the lines that transition into wheat,
and the since 1893. The popular choice and I refer to it as number 3, and I do not
think your packets have numbers, but number 3 was the one without any
graphics, with any pictures. Sorry, I did not bring any visual. And this was
preferred for items such as vehicles, shirts, and lapels. I did get comments that
the Department was to small, and that is something that can be worked on. They
liked the simplicity of that. The second choice was the following page as I refer to
as number 4 and that had the simple graphics without the fine detail with the
clock tower and the building. Number 1 and 6, number 1 would be your first page
that shows the different colors and number 6 is your last page. Number 6 did get
more votes, I did not count them all when I wrote this, but it was very close, so
you might as well say it was a tie. Number 6 did get the popular vote on a more
official type of thing such as the letterhead and the business cards. Additional
comments were to include some employees liked the hub statement, the hub of
the Treasure Valley instead of the center of the Treasure Valley. I know that the
Center of the Treasure Valley came in play with the visioning process with the
City and Chamber went on that that slogan was changed. The absolutely - Ida
not think I had one comment that liked the flags, they did like Since 1893, but
they did not like the flags off setting it. Popular color was the gray and the slate
blue, and I would entertain any questions if anyone has anything. I am sure you
can all see it. It is the finer detailed one.
McCandless: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. McCandless.
McCandless: I wanted to ask Chief Gordon if he had any comments.
De Weerd: We got it back from the Police Department that there were no
comments.
Gordon: We got copies on all of them. We did not have any comments on them.
We thought most of them were to busy.
De Weerd: That was pretty consistent. The favorites, especially for the
reproductions on lapel pins, shirts, and any vehicles, was the simplest one
without any graphics on it.
Anderson: Mrs. De Weerd: I just have one comment and then one question. The
comment on the flags, I have to put my plug in because that was my idea, the
flags were supposed to symbolize the speedway and the history along with the
speedway, so I was envisioning those as being a checkered flag, and they are
just white flags hanging there. I can understand why people would say well why
in heck are those even there because they do not really symbolize anything right
there. The checkered flags have to do with racing so maybe that is an
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27,2001
Page 26
inadequate portrayal of what I was expecting there. You do not get to respond to
that. I do not want to hear your comment on that. My other question is if we do
adopt this as a Seal, I know it would seem that there ought to be some criteria
established as far as when and how and what are we going to use this on. Or are
we just going to leave that open to every department to decide whether they want
to use it or not use it in their logo. I mean if this is going to be the logo, is that
going to go on the side of every vehicle that the City of Meridian owns? Is that
mandatory that the departments adopt that, or is it up to their choice? Those are
questions that I think we probably ought to decide so that people are not
offended saying, well you are not using the logo that we gave you. You have still
got this water tower on the side of your vehicle, and also I think it would make a
difference on - some people whether they have a strong opinion or not about
whether they like this logo or not. So those are some of the questions that I still
have, is it going to be mandatory? What types of media is it going to be put on?
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: Councilman Anderson, I do not have the answers to that. You guys
started this process before I stepped on, and I kind of picked up. I do not know
what your original conversations were to that. Do you have any thoughts on how
you would like to see it go since you would have one of the Departments that
would have something like this on the doors?
Anderson: My thoughts are that I really like the design, and I think it has real
good applications like on letterheads and printed material. I think it is a difficult
logo to put on the side of a vehicle. In the case of the Fire Department, we also
have a rural Fire District that is contributing money, so I am not sure what their
standpoint would be. Whether they want to have the City's logo or if they want so
combination or they want something else on there. I think that might be one of
their concerns. When they talk about it being too busy when you put the one that
has some of the pictures of the tree, old building, and the clock on the side of a
vehicle that is just not going to display very well.
De Weerd: That was the consensus too. People were pretty consistent with their
separation between the two. But the simple one without the pictures would be a
lot easier to reproduce onto a car door, shirt, lapel pin, instead of the water tower
pins. You would get something more with this, but I understand certainly with
rural fire district; I do not know, as far at the Police Department how he would
feel, we would have to ask him. We have four Department heads sitting over
there. I just think if you are going to adopt a new city seal it should be
representative of the city, and in your appearance not necessarily does it have to
go on the car doors but on business cards, letterheads, and shirts we need to be
consistent.
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27. 2001

Anderson: And that is like police and fireman wear shoulder patches, that
design to me does not look like it is real easy to incorporate into something like
that.
De Weerd: Do they have the water tower on them right now?
Anderson: Yes. I know the Fire Department does but I do not know about the
Police Department.
Bird: The Police Department does not have the water tower on theirs, I do not
believe.
Corrie: Well, to get this off dead center, so far you like the name Meridian or the
City of Meridian, the Center of Treasure Valley, and Since 1893 then you want it
in an oval, circle, diamond?
De Weerd: Oval.
Corrie: Oval rather than circle. If we kind of agree on something of that nature
then why do not we have something made up that shows Meridian or the City of
Meridian, but we have to have someplace in there that says Idaho.
De Weerd: I think it should say, City of Meridian, somewhere by the M and you
could put Idaho by the AN.
Corrie: I think if you have it smaller, I mean you do not have to have it a big one
on the side of a door, you can have it on a fender or somewhere more stationary.
I think Ron is absolutely right, we do need to make where it is going to go and
how it is going to go, and who is going to do it. But that could come down the
road later, but I think if we have a consensus here on the City of Meridian, Idaho,
the Center of the Treasure Valley, and the Since 1893. Maybe we can have
somebody - so that we can get it off dead center, we have been on this thing for
years. If the Council does agree why do not we have Tammy have them put that
together then bring it back so we can massage it back and forth. Then once we
get what we think we like we can show it to the public and let them make some
comments and go from there. You have gone farther than I did four years ago. If
that would be the case, would that be alright with the Council?
Bird: You bet.
Corrie: Just to kind of get this off dead center, we kind of get moving on it.
Tammy if you would do that then I think that would be great.
De Weerd: It would be my pleasure.
Corrie: Thank you.

C. Councilperson Keith Bird:
1 . Appointment of Liaison Person to Departments:
Bird: With the Council's permission, the appointments will stay the same as last
year. Which was Cherie had the Police Department and City Clerk, Ron had the
Fire Department and Human Resources, Tammy had Parks and Recreation and
Planning and Zoning, and I will take Public works and the Treasurer's office. If
that is okay with everybody?
Anderson: Can I file a protest? I think someone else should negotiate this.
De Weerd: Forget it.
Corrie: I am going to learn this year. Is everybody willing to accept-?
Bird: Is that okay with everybody.
De Weerd: I do not know, maybe we should see if there are objections over there
in the peanut gallery.
Bird: Does the peanut gallery think that is okay?
Corrie: Hearing none. Okay, thank you Keith. I will get that down and get the list
to Tammy.
D. Parks and Recreation Department - Director Tom Kuntz:
1. Generations Plaza Permissive Encroachment Agreement:
Kuntz: Thank you Mayor and Council. In your December workshop we originally
brought the Encroachment Agreement from the Attorney's office. To refresh your
memory, the building that is currently to be completed that houses the Smokey
Mountain Pizza encroaches onto our property a total of 4 inches, and this
agreement before you tonight addresses that issue legally. Thank you Mayor.
Corrie: Has everybody had a chance to read that Encroachment Agreement?
Okay, is there any discussion or questions in reference to this?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: I have none.
Corrie: Hearing none then I will entertain a motion to approve the Encroachment
Agreement and have the Mayor to sign -
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27,2001
Page 29
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move that we approve this permissive Encroachment Agreement between
the City of Meridian and Generations Building LLC and Idaho limited liability
coming in for the Mayor to sign and the Clerk to attest.
McCandless: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to approve the Generations Plaza and
Permissive Encroachment Agreement. The Mayor to sign and the Clerk to attest.
Any further discussion? All those in favor of the Agreement say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
2. Generations Plaza Building No. 2 Easement through Private
Parking Lot:
Kuntz: The next one is a new request, and it was initiated from the Planning and
Zoning Department. This affects the second building that will be going up
hopefully this summer, and it is to the north of Generations Plaza. They will be
constructing a brand new parking lot directly behind that building. And the
Planning and Zoning director wanted to make sure that in the years to come that
the public has the ability to enter through that parking lot without any restrictions
and then exit through the existing city parking lot on Pine Street. I believe the
information in you packets, the last page of it, actually shows a drawing depicting
where this easement would be which parking lot it would be located in, so we are
asking tonight for approval to institute this easement through that private parking
lot.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I would like to ask Mr. Nichols if he sees anything that can jump out and bite
us. I do not, but I am not a lawyer.
Nichols: Councilman Bird, Mayor and Members of the Council this essentially
gives us something that we do not have now, but it was partly in consideration of
our support for the partial vacation of the alley that ran to East First Street. That
there would be a way to route the traffic through the parking Jots and get them
back out onto Pine Street. This is really to the city's benefit to be able to use that
parking lot on the east side of this building's parking Jot.
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27,2001
Page 30
Bird: That is alii had Mayor.
Kuntz: Mr. Mayor and Members of Council I apologize, but the map actually
shows the parking stalls lined up the wrong direction.
Anderson: I just figured you Park guys backed into all of your stalls so you could
make quick get-a-ways.
Corrie: I was about to ask who was going to re-stripe it for you. Okay, any other
questions.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: Who is going to re-stripe it?
Kuntz: Council member de Weerd and Council and Mayor, the developer will be
restriping and redirecting the planting strips in those parking lots.
Corrie: I think you have answered that substantially.
De Weerd: I do have an unrelated question. What is the Parks policy of having
signs on Park property?
Kuntz: The signs that are in place right now are actually on the property that is
being leased from the city, and that lease was effective December 1, and we
have built a developer for that property.
De Weerd: Was not that a lease for a patio, not for a sign?
Kuntz: Yes, ma'am.
Bird: What is wrong with it?
De Weerd: Because that is right by our park.
Bird: That might be right by our park, but it is also a taxpayer that is doing it. It is
just there temporarily.
De Weerd: Yes, I have seen temporary signs. Thank you.
Kuntz: Council member de Weerd we have addressed that issue from time to
time over the last month, and I physically moved one of the signs myself with
another Parks employee. We drug it down the alley and onto their property
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27,2001
Page 31
behind their building, and I guess in the spirit of cooperation we feel like where
they are now that we can live with for a short period of time.
De Weerd: What kind of time schedule is Generations Plaza phase two on?
Kuntz: The opening of the Smoky Mountain Pizza is scheduled for March 15,
2001. We contacted The Land Group a little over a week ago and let them know
that that was the opening to try and have all of our plat work done by then -
*** End of Side Two ***
Kuntz: -- freezing problems. They want to make sure that the ground is thawed,
and they do not have to pour a third time. The other thing that I am not sure you
are aware of is there has been some extensive damage done to the landscaping
by the developer's contractor. And we have met on sight with the Wright Brothers
and there is an extensive letter in the file showing what kind of damages need to
be repaired by the developer of the Smoky Mountain Pizza building, and their
agreement that they will take care of those issues. To answer your question the
Wright Brothers have been notified when the pizza store is going to open, and
they will get in there as soon as they feel like it is safe to pour the flat work and
move ahead. I am hoping that we have things wrapped up down there by the end
of March.
Corrie: Usually when the snow is off of Bogus Basin plant your tomatoes.
De Weerd: Thank you, Tom.
Corrie: Okay, any further discussion? Hearing none, I will entertain a motion
then for the Easement Agreement on number 2, a through private parking lot.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move that we approve the Easement Agreement between the City of
Meridian and Lainey Land Limited Partnership.
Anderson: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to approve the Generations Plaza Building
and Number 2 Easement for a through private parking lot for the Mayor to sign
and the Clerk to attest. Any further discussion? All those in favor of the motion
say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES

3. Bear Creek Master Plan:
Kuntz: Mayor and Council to my left is the colored version of the master plan for
Bear Creek.
De Weerd: Do you want to kind of turn it so the audience can see it too? Thanks.
Kuntz: As indicated in my memo, this plan went to the public for review on
January 17, 2001 and then it was followed up with a few minor changes from
those comments and presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission of
February 12, 2001. At that time the Parks and Recreation Commission
recommended approval to the City Council. I can certainly go through it with you
if you would like me to. I would like to point out that we have some funding in
place to complete phase one of the park, and I can show you that.
Bird: Which is the phase one, Tom? Could you show the people?
Kuntz: These are the construction documents for phase one. They are currently
in the hands of the developer who is working on some pricing for some of the
amenities. Phase one would include one or possibly two parking lots depending
on how far the funding goes. It will include the rough and fine grating, the
perimeter pathway, which may be gravel initially. It will include a sprinkler system
and grass seeding which is to be provided by the developer. It will also include a
perimeter metal fence. I believe it calls for rod-iron at this point. It is going to be a
very basic park to start with.
Bird: Thank you Tom.
Kuntz: Would the Council like me to go through the master plan real briefly?
What I have handed out is also some development cost. At the bottom of the
page, you will notice the automated irrigation system in the seeded turf. If you
subtract those amounts from the total since the developer will provide them, the
estimated total is about $900,000 dollars or a little under for this site. It is 18
acres. The other amenities that we will be adding as either any kind of
contributions or partnerships or funding from the city become available. There will
be a restroom picnic shelter combination, a playground area, what we call a
basketball round that includes three separate baskets, two tennis courts, and
then two multi-fields that can be used for either baseball or softball. The only item
or amenity that was really questioned in the planning sessions was the tennis
courts, and of course, those would only be built if we can justify the need and the
use when funding becomes available.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27. 2001
Page 33
Bird: Tom, we have just a tot lot, is that all we are going to have out there? Don't
we have a playground?
Kuntz: Yes, it will be a full playground, it just says tot lot, but it will be similar to
what is in Tully Park.
Bird: That is what I thought, but I did not see it in our costs.
De Weerd: One thing that the Commission also had discussed: A partnership so
to speak that the City has formed with the playground group, and one of the
members is out in the audience, Debbie, but that is to set some standards for the
playgrounds in our city that make it accessible to children of all abilities. You
know it has been very exciting. The group has a lot of dynamics, and Tom has
met with that group, and have really been working towards setting some
standards for the playground equipment that is established and built in our parks.
That has been a real positive outcome.
Bird: What I was asking him was, I do not see it in our costs, playground
equipment. I see the playground safety servicing. Tom, I do not see it in our
costs, $827,000 dollars, I do not see any playground equipment in there. I see
our playground safety servicing.
Kuntz: I believe Councilman Bird that the composite structure of $30,000 dollars
would be the actual structure itself.
Bird: Oh, okay, I am sorry.
Kuntz: If you look at the costs for Tully Park, the entire playground component
there was about a $50,000 expenditure. The equipment was about $25,000, and
then by the time you do all the excavation, the concrete edging, the soft fall
material, and everything else that goes into it, that is not too far off. Now, the
stand we will try to be adopting is that we have a rubberized surface for at least
anywhere from one-third to one-half of the playground, and that will definitely add
to the cost by 20 to 30 percent, but we feel that is something we want to have in
all of our playgrounds. Again, these are estimates.
Anderson: Who put the estimates together, Tom? Is this just your guess or did
you have some assistance from some Engineers? I mean things like the grating
and the parking lot and some of that kind of stuff, how accurate is this estimate
going to be?
Kuntz: Actually, the master plan and the construction documents for phase one
were both done by the CT A, and these estimates were also done by them. We
are going to get a much more accurate figure when the developers get back to
me with their estimates, and they have had those construction documents for
about three weeks. They told me they are real close to finishing them up. It is to
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27,2001
Page 34
there benefit, having this site greened up and looking like something that will be
an advantage to their subdivision as far as sell of lots. I am hoping they will work
with us on the cost. I do not know if that answers your question Council member.
Anderson: I feel better knowing that you were not the only one who worked on
the numbers.
De Weerd: And some of that, Ron, in the top is also going to be developer
funded as per the Agreement.
Bird: Has the Parks and Recreation commission seen this?
Kuntz: They have not seen the cost estimates, no, Councilman Bird.
Anderson: And I also wanted to volunteer, I will put in that tetherball pole for
$2500.
De Weerd: No, I was going to that.
Anderson: If you need two or three of them, I could do that for you.
Kuntz: We will have a contract in your office tomorrow.
Bird: And Kendra will have an article tomorrow.
Corrie: Are you done Tom?
Kuntz: Yes sir.
Bird: Thank you, Tom. Very nice.
E. Public Works Department - City Engineer Gary Smith:
1. Update on the White Trunk:
Smith: Thank you Mr. Mayor and Members of Council. The update that you
have in your packet I believe is a bar chart, time schedule that has been
projected for attaining easements for the White drain sewer trunk from the Ridge
Tower subdivision project, and coupled with that is our estimated construction
time and completion of the Trunk line. We are expecting that we would receive
the easements on or about the time the project is submitted to City Council for
your review and decision. The developer feels fairly confident that once he
obtains Planning and Zoning's approval that he will move forward with
developing the easements for the Trunk line. Today, I received copies or a copy
of the proposed easement along with a small-scale map, and I will pass that out
right now to you. Briggs engineering also delivered a full size set of preliminary
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27, 2001
Page 35
plans, which I have here, two sets, that shows the alignment through the
subdivision. This is just the first sheet that shows the sewer line starting over
here on your left at Ten Mile Road and progressing upstream to the east. They
have done quite a bit of work in developing the project to this point, and I guess
at this point we feel pretty confident that they will continue along and barring any
disasters at Planning and Zoning time that is should move forward. They have
been doing a lot of work with the other agencies. There is still an issue of an
access from this development onto McMillian. At this point, they have not shown
an access out of this development onto McMillian and that is a little bit of a point
of consternation between Planning and Zoning Administrator and Ada County
Highway District and the developer. That is the only thing I know of that is
creating a major point of discussion.
Bird: Gary, does that take about 1/3 of a mile of that first run from Ten Mile Road
to Linder? Is this about 1/3 through his project of that mile?
Smith: No, it is probably closer to 2/3 of the mile.
Bird: They will take 2/3 of the mile?
Anderson: Is this in phase two, Gary?
Smith: Yes, this would be in phase two. Phase one was the Plat that came in off
of Ustick Road, and that Final Plat is progressing through the approval process
right now.
Bird: But that sewer is into Five Mile? And does not have anything to do with the
White Trunk.
Smith: Right, it has nothing to do with the sewer in the White Trunk. Now there is
portion you will notice on that small scale drawing a portion that is indicated to be
in a future development. But part of the requirement that Planning and Zoning
has placed on the developer is that they annex the entire parcel of property. So
that the easement can be continued through this other piece of property even
though their need for development or desire to even file a Preliminary Plat on
that. They do not want to get involved in that because of the tax situation
between farm land and platted land in the preliminary stage, I guess.
De Weerd: But we could still gain the easement?
Smith: Yes.
De Weerd: Okay.
Smith: I am not sure, they may be going ahead with the Preliminary Plat on that
piece of ground also in order to establish the alignment. But the schedule that
was laid out, this was actually the bar schedule, was developed from preliminary
Meridian City Council Meeting r
February 27, 2001
Page 36
discussions in January of this year. And after the last Council meeting, they came
back to us and met with me and had brought this bar chart back and had moved
things forward in terms of the easement probably 6-8 weeks as I recall that they
moved things up so that we would have them sooner.
Anderson: Just a hypothetical, if they did not get the approval of their phases,
what would that do to your easements?
Smith: We would not be able to get the easements at least the way it has been
presented at this point.
Corrie: So they are saying, you give us the easement and we will do the project?
Smith: Well what they are saying Mayor is that if the project is approved as they
have submitted it then the easements can be granted to us within this time
schedule if the project moves forward.
Corrie: Does that coincide with our capacities and every at this point?
Smith: This is a new Trunk line, and the impact will be at the treatment plant,
and there is not a problem there. But yes the easements are definitely tied to the
project. I guess it just a matter of how well they have done their homework in
preparing the project so that it complies with maybe the meetings that they have
had with the Planning and Zoning Administrator, meetings they have had with the
Ada County Highway District. It is a huge project and undertaking it means a lot
of coordination with all of agencies. Ultimately, it comes down to your decision.
Corrie: See White Sewer Trunk that is the next one up, right?
Smith: The White is located between Ustick and McMillian Road, correct. Do you
have any questions that I could answer?
Corrie: I do not know if you have the answer to it or not.
Smith: I am not sure I have got an answer to the question that I am sure is on
your mind. I do not really have an answer. It all depends, and we have alerted
our consulting engineer to this schedule.
De Weerd: Now Gary, is it going to be this way in future Trunk lines that it is
totally dependant on these developers, and where they are going to allow an
easement? Is this what is going to happen with our North Slew?
Smith: Well, it could. I guess it could be looked at in two ways. One is that you
try to work with the development community in locating the sewer trunks so that
they are in a public right-of-way, and so that they are more accessible so that
they better fit a layout of the development. Or you move ahead and try to obtain
Meridian City Council Meeting (
February 27,2001
Page 37
easements on the drainage. That is typically what we have done in the past,
where there was not any plan for development. We just located the trunk lines
down at the low point of the topography adjacent to the drainages and obtained
easements that way and away we went.
De Weerd: Well there is talk with the Comprehensive Plan that maybe is
Circulation Plan or a Collector Street Plan be put together. Would that help
facilitate easements or can that be co-developed with -
Smith: I do not think that the Collector Street Plan could be detailed enough in
the Comprehensive Plan to allow you to place something like a Trunk line. I think
you can get general locations of Collectors on the mile roads if you are going to
bring them in at the center of the section and kind of wagon wheeled the section
as far as allowing traffic to circulate interior than out to your arterials, but I am not
sure that you are going to be able to get defined with the location of your
Collectors going through the section. It would not necessarily follow the low point
in the topography such as the drain does.
De Weerd: Do you see that we will have the same problems with the North Slew
that we have had with the White Trunk?
Smith: Yes, I think so. I think with the development activity up there in the
development interest that we are going to be faced with the same kind of
question to answer. Unless we just move ahead and try to obtain easements on
the low spot in the low ground, and say this where we want the Trunk line to be.
We are not going to try and locate it within the subdivision or within your
proposed plan because it does stall the thing to the point that - well one of the
questions that I got from this developer was, well okay, if we get this approved
how fast can you get the sewer built? I said well gee, we have been waiting quite
awhile to get this alignment, and now all of sudden there is a rush to get it built.
That is what happens.
De Weerd: I think we should be them from Locust Grove to Ten Mile Road.
Corrie: One of the things that we are going to have to really be certain of is that
we got our plans and J-U-B and everything else for our sewer system that we
follow those and not get out of sequence. Even when a developers says I can do
this because we are heading down the wrong road at that point.
Smith: We have to be sure that the location of these Trunk lines is such that is
serves all of the property within a drainage area, and we are not allowing the
location of Trunks to be in a most advantageous place for the developer of a
particular project. We have always looked at the big picture and make that
service area flows to the Trunk. So that is kind of an update on this thing, where
we are. I guess it is a little better defined than it was, but there are still some
problems. There is still some doubt as to when things are going to happen.
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27, 2001
Page 38
Anderson: How about J-U-B, it almost seems to me like there is a little bit of a
conflict of interest there. I mean not only are they developing our master plan for
a sewer, but they are also the engineering firm for a bunch of these developers
that have gone out and bought this land. It almost seems like they are trying to
play both sides of the coin in trying to force the city's hand. Are there other
alternatives to J-U-B out there?
Smith: Councilman Anderson, Mayor, and Council I think that one thing that is
fortunate here is that the master plan was developed before we got this influx of
development interest in these areas. Generally speaking, the master plan located
Trunk lines along the drainages and just very generally and very simply followed
the existing drainages and said this where it should be because it is the lowest in
elevation. It does cast a little bit of a different on J-U-B when they come back with
a big project; however, we still have the master plan that was developed prior
that we are going to follow. Just to give you another example, we are looking at a
project right now at the south of us at Victory Road and east side of Locust
Grove. It is a huge project, and that particular consulting engineer wants to move
our Trunk line around going through that project. We have had several meetings
with them and told them that they need to go back and rethink this because
where they want to put the Trunk is to their advantage as far as developing a
property. It short-circuits service to part of that service area. We are very mindful,
and I have instructed my staff, and I have always been the same way that we
look at this big picture. We are not just looking at what this developer wants to
do. Like I said J-U-B developed that master plan several years ago. It was done
in accordance with the topography of the ground for the Trunks. Having said that,
they are coming back. They are being hired by the developers to lobby to extend
the Trunks into that area and get the development started out there. I do not think
there is a particular conflict of interest there may be some apperance that way
because they worked on the master plan, and now they are working on the
developing side.
De Weerd: Because of what they did at our last meeting.
Anderson: They make a lot more money too actually designing the system for
the developer and figuring out all of the cuts and elevation and doing all of that
stuff, so ultimately the developer is going to be paying them more money than we
are. So I have a question as to where their loyalty lies? Who are they trying to
please?
Smith: I guess they have had two clients. They had the city as their first client;
they are responsible to do what they have done. Now they have a developer as a
client, and they do have loyalty to that developer; however, they still have loyalty
to that plan that they developed for us and that the City Council approved. The
Public Works Department is the stewards of that facility plan. We say okay, you
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27, 2001
Page 39
are working for the developer here is the facility plan. This is what we are dealing
with; this is the end result.
Anderson: Based off of the comments they made at the meeting and this letter
we have received, I question some of their loyalty, who they are most loyal to.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Yes, Mr. Bird?
Bird: I think that once they did that general layout for us their obligations, that is
all we asked them to do was to give us the locations that was best suited for the
sewers and an estimated cost, then I believe that their contract with the City of
Meridian was over with. They did a very fine job. We have the documents. Now
they are being hired by private firms to represent them in not only the sewer, but
also their whole engineering of the development. I am like Gary. On the outside,
it probably looks like it could be a conflict of interest, but really I believe once they
completed their contract with the City, they were done with us. They did complete
it and did a very nice job.
Smith: I think it is important to consider the time interval between the two. If they
were working on a master plan and a development then yes very definitely there
would be a problem there. It would be to coincidental to not have a problem when
you are working that way with two different clients and yet trying to work
something together. In the late 1970s, when the City of Meridian under went a
big infrastructure change or addition, we built the elevated water tower, a lot of
water transmission, a waste water treatment plant, and a lot of Trunk lines out to
the Waste Water Treatment Plant, so J-U-B did all of that work. Well, following all
of that work then the development started and they found themselves doing a lot
of that work too. It is kind of a similar situation, but I am still convinced that the
master plan was based on the topography issues, the natural ground elevations,
and just the fact that that is where the sewers need to be, and it was laid out
following those drainages and that was all. I do not believe at that time there was
any information for development.
Corrie: Any other questions?
2. Discussion of Inspectors' Fee I Contracts:
Bird: Gary, did you want to discuss the inspector's fees, --
Smith: Well, I would if you would like to discuss it. I did not get the contracts to
you in time. I just got them prepared today. They are the same contracts that
they had last year, the same numbers. If you want to wait until next week and
take a look at them between now and then that is fine.
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27, 2001
Page 40
Bird: That would be my preference, Mayor, if that were okay with you.
Corrie: That is fine. I think that is a good idea.
3. License Agreement with NMID for Well No. 21 Bypass Line
into the Eight Mile Lateral:
Smith: Well No. 21 is located just to the north and east of the elevated water
tower in property that is owned by the City of Meridian and will eventually be an
addition to the park. Right now it is a staging area for the speedway. The issue
here is that we need to have a bypass line that we are able to discharge from the
well into a waste or into a ditch, or into a facility other than our distribution
system. This need arises when we have to pull a pump for maintenance, and
then we have to pump the well to waste until it perhaps needs to be cleared up,
perhaps we get some bacteria problems. There are several things that can
happen where we need to pump to waste. This Agreement with Nampa Meridian
will allow us to discharge into the Eight Mile Lateral. City Attorney Nichols had a
question on one of the items, and he corresponded with Nampa Meridian's
attorney. Nampa Meridian subsequently fired back a change, and I have given
that to Bill, and Bill has approved that. That was on page three. It had to do with
Item number 10; it had to do with the licensee, that is the City of Meridian
agreeing that the district shall not be liable for any damages which shall occur to
any facility which the licensee installs. That was amended to say that - what
does it say Bill? I did not bring a copy of that with me.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor and Members of Council there is any additional phrase that
is added at the beginning of that section. It reads as follows: Except for damages
rising solely out of the negligence of the district. So in other words, if they are
cleaning out the ditch and they run into our pipe which they have seen the plans,
they have approved the plans, they have supervised the construction, they know
it is there, and then later they damage in the maintenance of their ditch then they
pay for it.
Smith: The only other thing J had was on page 6, item number B. They make
reference to the district being able to deposit spoils in the licensees property, and
we do not have any property adjacent to this ditch, so I think we will need to get
that amended. Those were the only two items, and Mr. Nichols conversation with
the District's Attorney took care of the one. If you do not have any questions, I
guess my recommendation would be to approve this licensee Agreement with
Nampa Meridian for this Well number 21 bypass pump piping with the
understanding that I will talk to their attorney and get that amended to Item B on
page 6. Do you have any questions?
Bird: I have none.
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27,2001
Page 41
Corrie: Alright then, if there is no other questions, I will entertain a motion of the
License Agreement with the understandings of the attorneys and statements
made items A and B, page three and page six.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I would move that we pass the License Agreement with the Nampa
Meridian Irrigation District for Well number 21 bypass line into the Eight Mile
Lateral with the contracts showing the added wordings and to Items outlined in
the Agreement and for the Mayor to sign and the Clerk to attest.
Anderson: Second.
Corrie: Motion is made to approve License with Nampa Meridian Irrigation
District approval with the conditions stated in the motion. Any further discussion?
Hearing none, all those in favor of the motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Smith: Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Council.
3. Locust Grove Road Water and Sewer Project - Agreement
for Professional Services with J-U-B Engineers:
Smith: This proposal comes from J-U-B Engineers who is also the engineering
consultant for the Ada County Highway District, and they are designing this
section of Locust Grove Road. This will provide two lengths of sewer line, one
short length from Fairview going north to Carol Street in that County subdivision
for future extension into that subdivision if and when the time should occur
without having to tear up Locust Grove Road, and the other piece of sewer
extends approximately from the South Slew south to again service two larger
parcels of ground on the east side of Locust Grove Road. That portion is about
11 DDft south of the stub out of Cougar Creek, and the 8 inch sewer from Fairview
north is approximately 1300ft, and then there is a 12 inch water line
approximately 1200ft that needs to be installed to complete the water line in
Locust Grove. We have got a spot there where we have not connected the
tubings. We would have a cooperative Agreement with Ada County Highway
District where the contractor doing the roadway improvement work would also be
doing the installation of the sewer and water line, and the contractor would be
paid by ACHD then we would reimburse ACHD. This was the same agreement
that we had on Franklin Road and Meridian Road when it was recently
reconstructed. I think we did the same thing on Cherry Lane when that was done,
and we did a cooperative Agreement on North Meridian Road from Cherry Lane
to Ustick, so this would be our fourth agreement with the Highway District.
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27, 2001
Page 42
Corrie: Any questions?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: I will entertain a motion then for the recommendation.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I would move that we approve the Agreement for professional services with
J-U-B Engineers for the Locust Grove water and sewer project with the pre-
design in progress meetings, an estimated budget of $559 supplemental
topographic for an estimated budget of $1856, design, drafting contract
documents and cost estimate with a lump sum basis with a cost of $6415. I
believe that is a cost estimate too, and the agency coordination and permitting for
an estimated budget of $711, and I do not have a total.
Anderson: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to approve the Locust Grove Road water
and sewer project according to the motion as stated. Any other discussion?
Hearing none, all those in favor of the motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Smith: Thank you Mayor and Council. I did not mention, but it has about
$182,000 price tag on it for construction estimate. So this engineering cost is 5.2
percent of that estimated cost.
Bird: Gary that is about a standard is it not?
Smith: Five percent is a little bit less than what we spend on design.
Wastewater treatment plant design is running around eight to nine percent for
just a design.
5. WWTP Headworks and Septage Receiving Station Change
Order No.3:
Smith: There were four items in the memo that Brad Watson wrote to you, four
items that comprise this Change Order number 3. The contractor is JC
Constructors, and they have done an excellent job on the project. They have
been very good to work with. They have had a very high quality of work, and we
are very pleased with them. Brad said their business is first grade. We have been
battling with some other contractors out there, and it is a welcome change to
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27,2001
Page 43
have this kind of performance. Those four items, if you would like me to go
through them I can.
Corrie: I think we have all read them, and I did not see anything.
Smith: The total of the changes is $7797.03. We would recommend approval of
this Change Order No. 3 for JC Constructors work at the Wastewater Treatment
Plant, Headworks project.
Corrie: Any discussion?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: I will entertain a motion on the request for the Change Order number 3.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I would move that we approve the $7797.03 for Change Order number 3
between the City of Meridian and JC Constructors at the Wastewater Treatment
Plant, Headworks change.
McCandless: Second.
Bird: Mayor to sign and Clerk to attest.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to approve the Change Order number 3 for
$7797.03 and the Mayor to sign and the Clerk to attest. Any further discussion?
Hearing none, all those in favor of the motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Smith: Thank you Mayor and Council. I have one other item that Mayor Corrie
asked to be added on our request at the beginning of the meeting. It is a Line
Item Transfer from the Waste Water Department. With your permission, I would
like to pass this information out to you at this time. I apologize for the short time
fuse on this; the issue that we have run into is a salary issue with our licensed
operators at the plant. We have lost two in the recent past several weeks, and we
have one more that is ready to move out. Boise City and Nampa are the areas
that are drawing our certified operators away from us. Item No. 3 that John has
listed here is a request to transfer $37,850 from the special projects expense to
the wages account. He has a little dissertation there on what has happened as
far as the loss of our operators. We lost one in January, another one left today,
and there is another on being courted by Nampa. Nampa and Boise's beginning
wage for operator $500-$900 a month higher than ours. John's proposal is to
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27, 2001
Page 44
increase the salary for these operators $500 per month in order to retain them.
The problem that we are having of course is that we hire an operator, get them
up to spend, and he is not able to higher a Class 2 Operator as a Class 2.
Generally, they come at a lower class certification and then have to work and test
for the next level. So we are providing the training field for them also. It is our
feeling that is going to be less expensive and to our advantage to keep our
operators and that is the reason for this request. Apparently in our state there is a
shortage of trained operators, and we do not have a mandatory certification in
Idaho. Other states are mandatory certified. I guess all other states are at this
point. Idaho is the only one that is not in Wastewater, and so that raises the price
for us to hire certified operators. The other two Items: Item 1 and Item 2 are
project related, Item 1 is a transfer of money to our generator account based on
the items of deficiency that were found by Taylor Engineering. You recently
approved an engineering contract -
*** End of Side Three ***
Smith: -- in preparation of this Generator NO.3 installation, and there were some
other improvements that were found to be necessary in order to make the
Generator No. 3 project workable. Item No. 2 is a transfer of funds to the
Collection System maintenance. This is being transferred from an account that
had money in it for upsizing a pump at the Ashford Greens Lift station, which will
not be needed this year. The money will be used for camera survey of new sewer
lines in the developing subdivisions. We have had some problems with sewer
lines that have not been put in with correct bedding below the pipe. After the fact,
we are finding that there is settlement taking place, so we are going to start
running TV cameras down the lines prior to pavement being placed on the
roadway. And this will eventually be, as soon as we get it into our specifications,
a responsibility of the developer's contractor, so that we are not paying the bill.
But this money will get us into the TV business for the subdivisions that need that
work done right now that was constructed without the requirement of the TV
inspection. I felt that it was important that we get that TV work done so that we do
not have to go back in a year or two and tear up some streets and pull some
sewer line out and get the bellies out of them. That is kind of a short rundown on
the reasons for the transfer request. If you have any questions, I will be happy to
try and answer those.
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: I would like to encourage the Council to approve at least No.3,
especially. I hate to be a training ground for operators and Boise and Nampa, I
think I heard that they are going to be reevaluating their positions to upgrade that
cost of wages, so I think that would probably be a good move for us rather than
trying to hire somemore and then bail up again.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Meridian City Council Meeting'
February 27,2001
Page 45
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I whole-heartedly agree with you on that, but J can also tell you that request
No. 1 is very important too. That Generator NO.3 is very, very important that we
get it online. We think we have fire and police problems, you let that sewer plant
go down for a day or two and see what kinds of problems your office would have.
You would run out of your office with phone calls, and with that, I would make a
motion that we approve these Line Item changes. No.1, Account No. 96103 to
Account No. 96141, sum of $193,500. Request No.2, Account No. 96144
transfer $12,000 to Account No.52400 and request No.3 is for $37,850 to be
transferred from Account No. 55180 to Account No. 51200, and for the Mayor to
see that this is handled.
De Weerd: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to approve the request for transfers on
Items No.1, 2, and 3 in the amounts specified in the motion. Any further
discussion?
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: I do not have any problem with the Line Item transfers, but with Item
NO.3 I guess I do have a particular issue. I believe that requests like that need to
be channeled through the City of Meridian's HR person. That is why we hired that
person, and if somebody is going to do research about what other cities are
paying for salaries and what the benefits are and those types of things, I think
that should go through HR, and then we should hear a report back from her
about her recommendations are and how that fits in the City's total pay scheme. I
do not disagree. I do believe that maybe this positions are low, but I think that is
the proper channel, and at this point, I would say that I do not have a problem
with moving the money over there, but before we make those salary changes, I
think we should involve our HR person, and run this thing right.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I believe talking to John, Ron, and Gary at the previous RPO meeting, this
was all done through Pauline. Pauline is the one came up with all these things for
John. He has been working with Pauline for the last couple of months on this
situation, and probably yes he should have got an attached letter from Pauline to
go with this request. I agree with you on that Ron, but I do know that he has and
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27,2001
Page 46
Pauline is the one that has dug into these wages and stuff. He has been working
with her for two or three months.
Anderson: Okay, because this just looked like a bunch of handwriting here. I did
not know whose this was or what basis that was.
Smith: I will fault myself for that. I forgot to tell you while you were asking. Since
you asked, we did discuss this in our staff meeting, and it had gone through -
Bird: It had gone through Pauline?
Smith: Yes sir. I am sorry I did not tell you about that.
Nichols: Thank you Ron. That was a good question, and it was the first thing that
I asked John too. And the other thing I asked him was that us not just compare
wages, but let us compare benefits too, and make sure that we have a whole
package that we are talking about and not just salaries. He had done that too,
and Pauline had helped him put those numbers together. Thank you, I am sorry I
did not get a more formal report from her.
Corrie: I could still get it for you if you would like to have it for your records. Any
other discussion? All those in favor of the motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
F. City Attorney1s Department - City Attorney Bill Nichols:
1. Mill Levy Rate Update:
Nichols: Mr. Mayor and Members of Council you will recall that there has been
some discussion, but not detailed discussion by the Council on whether to
pursue the special provision in the code which allows the city to have a special
election at which the voters could determine whether or not they are going to
raise the Mill Levy Rate up to the .004. You asked us to check into some of the
procedures and deadlines. I can tell you that the only specific statutory deadlines
are that this election can only be held in May and November. The related
statutory deadline with regard to the May and November election simply states
when a notice of the special election has to be put in the newspaper. One has to
be published 12 days before the election, and the other one is 5 days before the
election. Those are the only statutory requirements. There are practical
considerations, typically what is done is the Council approves a resolution which
specifies what the question is on the ballot and the reasons for it and sets the
election date. The ones that I have seen are typically approved approximately 2
months ahead of the projected election date because part of what is also done is
that the Council then initiates some informational meetings, Public Hearings if
you will, on this is what the Rate request would do, this is what the funds would
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27,2001
Page 47
be used for, this would be the impact upon the City's budget. Another practical
consideration is if the City is going to use the County Clerk's office to actually
conduct the election, which from my standpoint makes sense. You have to enter
into a contract with the County Clerk for that purpose. And talking with the Clerk's
office elections person today, since Mr. Navarro was not there when I called
today, they suggest that that be sooner rather than later if you are going to try to
make a May election. So would say a decision probably within the next couple of
weeks if you are going to do this, or at least as far as to enter into the contract
should you decide to have that election. The other practical matter to me is it
seems to make best sense if you are going to ask the voters to do this that you
ask them to do it at the May election for the reason that then the funds could be
included, or a portion of those that you anticipate to be received, from the Levy
could be included in your 2001-2002 budget. Janice can correct me if I am
wrong, but I believe that it would be this way, assuming that you had an election
in May at which the voters approved raising the Mill Levy Rate .004 that Mill Levy
Rate would be effective with the Levy that occurs on January 1, 2002. The first
tax payment for that 2002 year is in June of 2002, so that the funds would be
received approximately one year after the election, so the actual impact to the
homeowner depending upon whether they have Escrow payments and so forth,
but I mean those adjustments that might be made in their monthly mortgage
payment. If you want to get any increase in funds if it were approved, you would
need really to do it in the May election, so that you can budget for what you
would anticipate would be received in 2001-2002; othelWise, you are holding the
election in November after your budget has already been approve and then you
would do a supplemental budget, but it would seem like it would make a whole lot
more sense from a practical standpoint to do it in May, so that you could factor
that into your budget requests and how you are going to handle those funds. So
really the issue is does the Council want to do it? I would recommend that you try
to find unanimity among yourselves if that is what you propose to do. That you
have a plan for how you are going to inform the public as to why it is necessary
and how you anticipate the funds would be used for some of the needs that you
project out, so that is my report to you.
Corrie: Any comments from Council?
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: I have put a lot of thought into this, and I for one am not in favor of
raising taxes at anytime. But I think Meridian has gotten itself in a situation over
the years, and with the 3 percent cap that was imposed by that legislature that
now with high periods of growth because you do count the new construction into
your rate and that figures into your Mill Levy. Actually what is happening is
Meridian's Mill Levy is going lower every year because of the new growth, and I
do not thing that the legislature had put enough though into the funding formula
Meridian City Council Meeting i
February 27. 2001
Page 48
when they did that to allow for cities like Meridian that were experiencing high
growth, and they thought that the Mill Levees would hold pretty consistent or
slightly increase, and in our case, it is actually going the other way. But when I
look at the amount of growth that is going on in Meridian, and I look at what our
needs our, and I am not talking about just water and sewer and that seems to be
a big issue with developers. They always talk to us about how those are the big
expenses, and that those are what dictate growth. I am talking about how it takes
a lot more to build a city than just to put in water and sewer lines. You have to
have the roads there to provide for the traffic; you have to have the schools; you
have to have the police and fire for the public safety; you have to have the Parks
Department, all those things go into that and when you look at how fast our city is
growing and I would say probably on the average of 3,000 to 4,000 people a
year. If you just take some of the basic numbers that we have seen in some of
the studies that have come out in the last couple of years of per capita
Policemen, per capita Firemen, per acre a park ground. If you look at growing
3,000 to 4,000 people per year, we need to generate addition money to be able
to provide those services. We are right smack in the middle of several cities that
have Mill Levees that are two and sometimes three times what the City of
Meridians are. The people have the expectation that Meridian is going to provide
the same acres of park space, the same number of Police officers, the same
number of fire fighters as those other cities. With our current funding mechanism
in place we cannot do it. We cannot even come close to keeping up with those
numbers, so I see that this would be one measure that we could take that would
get us one step closer. I think the last time Bill and I went to a seminar they
showed the figures that this would generate about one million dollars more per
year for the City of Meridian. That million dollars when you split that amongst the
needs there just in the general fund budget that million dollars is not going to go
very far, but is sorely needed to just make some strides to catch up where we are
behind. The other nice thing about this is that the Statesman in the last week has
done a very good job of trying to show what some of the growth problems for the
City of Meridian have been, and I think they have laid an excellent ground work
for us at this point. The citizens, the community, are well aware of some of the
struggles and some of issues that we are facing. Again, that is going to take
more education on our part. The benefit to this whole thing is the fact that we are
not ramming this down your throat. We are just saying that right here is the
needs, here is what the problem is, you tell us whether you want to fund it, and
we put it to the vote of the people, and the people tell us whether they are willing
to pay more taxes for those services. I think as an elected official that I owe it to
the public to at least offer them that opportunity to tell me whether they are willing
to pay for more services.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27,2001
Page 49
Bird: First of all to clarify stuff, this water and sewer is self-supportive. No money
from this tax increase would go into that fund at all. I have thought long and hard
on this; I am probably not as enthusiastic about it as Ron is, but I do believe that
people should get a chance to vote on it. This year, I believe if you look on your
tax bills from the City of Meridian we are paying a 3197, last year it was 3247,
even though we go to a 40 within a year if we keep the growth, I do not believe
we are getting that kind of growth if I remember right if not Gary can correct me,
but I think we had less than 1000 building permits last year by a long shot. The
average is 2.3 people per house. I do not believe we are growing quite as fast as
a lot of people like to think. It is not to think that we are not growing. We have
grown in our commercial end of it, a tremendous growth, and that is what kills us
because we do not get the tax base off of them like we should be, so Ron I do
agree with you that I think we ought to get it. I would sooner see it in May for the
reasons that Bill stated that we can get it in our budget this year if it is passed,
and if it is not passed then what the heck. It has been tight for 35 years that I
know of here, but I would support it.
Corrie: Anyone else? Well, you have taken about five minutes of speech for
Tuesday morning. I think you are showing some tremendous leadership here.
De Weerd: You keep plugging that speech.
Corrie: Well, wait until you hear it, and you will hear what I am saying. I really
think that you are showing some real strong leadership here tonight because we
are behind the ball. We have been very frugal with our money, and we have been
kind of holding back, but I think Ron is absolutely right. We need to it to the public
and let them decide if they want it, fine, if they do not, then we will have to live
with that. That will help our public services and our Parks to redevelop to what
the people are wanting and needing, and I agree 100%, Ron, with what you are
saying and everything you have said. An other comments?
McCandless: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. McCandless.
McCandless: I can only say that I agree with what has been said. I would just be
copying other people if I made anymore comments, but I do definitely agree. The
people ought to make that choice.
De Weerd: Me too.
Corrie: Hearing that, under those circumstances and under what the attorney
has said, I will entertain a motion to bring this into the May election, and maybe
you could do some real fast, fancy PR on this to let the people know exactly what
it is. I think that they will do that to. I will, unable to make the motion myself, let
somebody -

Bird: Well, just a second a Mayor do we not have to make a resolution? So we
need to instruct the attorney to draw up a resolution.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I think because of the importance and the need to build our case for
lack of better verbiage, maybe a small subcommittee, or a low focals group can
be pulled together. You and Ron, he is so eloquent in his presentation, just
uphold this inside of it. To justify the need and something that we can put before
the public.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I make a motion that we have the Attorney draw up a resolution for our
approval and passage, taking to the public a one time increase in our Mill Levy
from a .34 to a .40.
Anderson: Second.
Corrie: Mill Levy is .0034 it will go to .0040 at that point due to the 3 percent -
Anderson: Mr. Mayor, I just read some numbers the other day and something
from the Ada County Assessor, and our Mill Levy is not a 34, but I cannot
remember the exact number. So maybe in the resolution we can just leave that
part out and just say that we want to go to the 40 cap.
Corrie: That is as far as we can go. I think it is .0032 something.
Bird: I think our Levy cap is .0034
Anderson: That is not a cap. That is what you Mill Levy is.
Corrie: Just a second before we get into a discussion, we need to get a second
on the motion.
Bird: Ron did.
Corrie: Oh, I am sorry. Now it is open to discussion.
Berg: Mr. Mayor and Members of Council the Mill Levy Rate at the current
time for this current year is .003180480.
Meridian City Council Meeting (
February 27, 2001
Page 51
Bird: That is right. I agree with you.
Anderson: That is the Mill Levy Rate.
Bird: That is what we were charged this year, but our Mill Levy cap is .0034.
Anderson: There is no such thing as a cap.
Bird: Then if you can only 6, it that is our Mill Levy then how can we go to 40. I
was told we can only go 6.
Anderson: According to the state statute.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor and Members of Council the word Mill comes from
essentially meaning one one-thousandth. So when you look at the Mill Levy Rate
which Will just gave us, Mr. Berg just gave us, that is essentially $3.18 and some
change per thousand dollar of assessed evaluation. The statute in question
allows us to go to a .004 or essentially $4 per thousand, so the resolution that I
would prepare will likely have in it a ballot title which will essentially read this
way: Shall the city be allowed to increase it's budget for the 2001-2002 budget
year by an amount not to exceed the difference between .004 and the amount of
the Levy for the 2000-2001 budget year multiplied by the market value of
assessable property in such year. That is going to be the ballot question. That is
the essence of the resolution, so if the motion would be for me to prepare the
appropriate resolution to raise to the maximum allowed by that statute of .004, I
think I can do it.
Bird: Okay, you got it.
Corrie: Any further discussion?
Anderson: I just wanted to clarify too then that the rest of the Council people
understand that your Mill Levy then every year changes. And they take the
highest budget of your last 3 years if that is what you choose to go to, and they
divide that by the assessed value. That is how they come up with your Mill Levy,
so even though we may get this election passed, and it may go to a .004. Then if
we have high growth years after that it will start coming back down again, and it
will be back in those threes again.
Bird: Once you have growth you are not going to say the same, under 3percent.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Attorney.
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27,2001
Page 52
Nichols: Mr. Mayor and Members of Council if this motion gets to vote and
passes, I would also suggest and it does not have to be part of the motion that
Mr. Berg then needs to contact Mr. Navarro's office, I would think, to inquire
about using the County Clerk, or maybe you need to have some discussion
about that. Whether you want to conduct your own election.
Navarro: Mr. Mayor and Members of Council I would discuss with the County
Clerk what services they would provide to see if would prohibit positively for us to
contract with them. I feel that some of the services if I have to provide them, then
there may not be a need for them to do whatever service. Also, looking at what
they have for elections that time. We have looked into to contracting those
elections or having them count ballots or something of that nature, and we have
found that we are third in a row of getting some of those services done. I would
also be inquiring about where we fit into the spectrum of them running the
election and getting the results and doing the service for us. But I would discuss
that with him.
Corrie: In other words, take care of that. Call for a question? Question has been
called for. All those in favor of the Attorney drawing up the resolution to increase
the evaluation Mill Levy to .004 say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Corrie: We will have that probably next meeting with Bill. Do we have to do
that? We have to do that pretty quick from what you have told us.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor and Members of Council my only hesitation on putting that
together is I know what my schedule is the rest of this week, and we are trying to
push to get the rest of this stuff together for your packets for next week as far as
Findings of Fact and that sort of thing. We are pushing pretty hard to get that
done. And then this next item I want to talk to you about is going to take up most
of my day tomorrow. So I will do my best, but if it is not there by Friday - the only
deadlines we are really looking at is if the Council chooses to use the Clerk's
office, they have indicated they need to have a contract here pretty soon. As far
as all the other things that need to be done, if we have this on the agenda for the
third Tuesday in March, that is sufficiently in advance of the election to be okay.
Anderson: What is publication date for it?
Nichols: The publication date would be May 9, 2001, and May 17, 2001, I think
is the deadlines. You have to publish it at least 12 days prior to and then the
second one has to be at least 12 days prior to.
De Weerd: I cannot imagine the resolution would be to long that we could not
read it if we get it Tuesday morning. We would have time to read it.

Nichols: I am just looking at I know where my schedule is, and I am just trying to
warn you that I will do my best, but it may not be there in time for you to feel
comfortable doing it.
De Weerd: Give it to Eric.
Nichols: Councilwoman de Weerd, I cannot give it to Eric. He is in Jamaica.
Tomorrow afternoon the Senate, the Tax and Finance Committee is taking up the
two annexation bills which are Senate bill 1151 which is the one proposed by
representative Tillman which is the no annexation unless there is a vote, and also
Senate bill 1167 which is a bill sponsored by the Association of Idaho Cities
which adds addition requirements for non-consensual annexations. I need you to
know that Terry White and I will be providing testimony and input to the
Committee tomorrow along with some others in support of 1167 and in opposition
to 1151. One of the things that Senator Bunderson added to Senate bill 1167 is
the ability to annex property that is not contiguous to the city limits. I can see that
it might have some application in Meridian perhaps if you have some of these
areas that are on the eastern boundaries of the area of impact that you might at
least have the ability to consider annexing even they are not contiguous. I did not
want to speak to that issue without - if you want me to leave it alone, I will leave
it alone is basically what I am asking you to cement. The way it is worded now, it
is permissive. It is not required. It is just another tool that might be in your hours.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: My thoughts on that bill because I had heard that he had added that
language to that is again just like the statement that I made a little bit ago. There
is a lot more that goes into building a city then the water and sewer lines going
there, and by being able to go out and do those spot annexations like Senator
Bunderson is proposing, then you are going to get those requests from
developers to come out and want to develop this subdivision, but if we lose the
ability to develop in an orderly fashion from the center of our cities, it puts a
tremendous strain on Police Departments, Fire Departments, Parks, the road
systems, and those other things that go along with building a city because like
Keith said, and he is exactly right, it is the developers. They are willing to put
their water and sewer just about anywhere to get their project going, but we as a
city are faced with providing those other services. So, I do not think by doing the
spot annexation that helps us as a city one bit because all it does is spread us
out farther, and we cannot provide the services to those spot annexed pieces of
property like we should.
De Weerd: Amen,
Meridian City Council Meeting r
February 27,2001
Page 54
Anderson: Bill, if the Tillman bill is knocked down in Committee and Bunderson
comes forward, lets say a scenario that it passe, we do not have to do that, or do
we have to follow that? If the city does not wish to hopscotch around and do that,
do we have to do it?
Nichols: Mr. Mayor and Members of Council, no, they way it is worded now, it is
simply permissive. It is like adding another tool to the bag. It is not a requirement
that if there is a request that you have to annex. There are some comprehensive
plans in Oregon, for example, where if a person is contiguous in the city limits,
and they asked to be annexed under Oregon law, the city has to annex it and
make provisions and plans for the provision of those municipal services for that
annexed area, but that is not what we are talking about here. It is a permissive
deal, and it does not mean - I guess the other part in 1167 is, an annexation
could be challenged, seek Judicial review. Right now annexations cannot really
be challenged. I mean it has been tried, but it is a Legislative act. This bill makes
it subject to judicial review, so that it cannot be arbitrary capricious. There has to
be some following of the statutes, and there has to be a reason for bringing it in.
De Weerd: So, if we deny it, they can appeal it?
Nichols: No, denial is still going to be the same. It would be if it were granted so
in other words if you had a Council someplace that did something that really was
not in the best interest of the city, somebody could challenge it. At least as I
understand the bill now and I will be studying it more tomorrow.
De Weerd: Bill in those Comprehensive Plans, if it is allowed by law to annex
when you are not contiguous, but our Comprehensive Plan discourages it we
would not be getting that flood of applications to do that.
Nichols: Councilwoman de Weerd, I would say you probably would be getting a
mass flood of applications along either road. I think you have to understand the
role of the Comprehensive Plan in Idaho's Local Land Use Planning Act as it has
been interpreted by the Idaho Supreme Court which as recently as last year said
or maybe it was in 1999, but the Urudia Case in Blaine County essentially said: a
Comprehensive Plan is a list of desires and wishes. You look to the zoning
Ordinances and all of these other things, so if all that is standing in the way of
something is a Comprehensive Plan that is not as strong as something else.
What I would say to you is you still have the ability in consensual annexations to
say no. You still have the ability to do that, to say we are not going to agree to
annex you just because you asked. The thrust of these bills is primarily to deal
with the situation where for whatever reason the city needs to annex property
against or without consent of all the affected property owners. Senate bill 1151
has provisions in it, for example, it says you really cannot annex anything unless
it does not have services. That is the gist of it. So if you have a piece of property
in the middle of Owyhee County, that is a bad example maybe, but Gary Eimann
covers Owyhee County so there are police services available out there. 1151 in
Meridian City Council Meeting!

its essence boils down to, unless you get consent you are not going to be able to
bring them in even if they are unclave. So the reason for me bringing this up is to
get your feelings on this issue of Senator Bunderson's rider, if you will, that was
attached on that bill.
Corrie: Janice, are you still here? Are you awake?
Bird: Our 8:30pm meeting went a little long.
Smith: Thank you Mayor and Council. One thing that I wanted to be sure and
get in tonight's meeting was approval of the audit. Did you guys vote on that?
Bird: Janice, we added to this agenda now, to approve the budget after. We did
not approve it the night Kevin was here and presented it to us. But we do need to
get it approved, so that it can be out for public.
Smith: It was presented January 16, 2001, and then Kevin Anderson came to
the Workshop meeting February 13, 2001, so as soon as it is approved I need to
get the two copies to the State Legislative Offices.
Bird: We have a deadline on that, do we Janice?
Smith: Well, in a timely manner.
Bird: Well, we demand a timely manner from them to do that. I do not know what
the rest of the Council feels, but I think we need to - Does anyone have any
problems with it? I thought it was great.
Anderson: I thought it was good. I was thinking that Kevin was going to do more
of a presentation like he had done at past workshops, that was a workshop for a
Council meeting that he did that. He did not go over the numbers in detail like he
has done in the past years and maybe it was a different format and a bigger
meeting.
Bird: I thought it was so plain. This is the third Ron and I have had the privilege of
going through these that I can finally read one. I can read it real well.
Smith: Kevin was ready to do a new workshop for the new Council members.
That is what he was ready to do that night, but we have our books all marked up,
ready to answer any questions. We have asked them to change somethings
because it easier for us to relate to the taxpayers, especially on the restricted
funds in the parks. That was changed.
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27,2001
Page 56
Anderson: That is what I was thinking. I was like Keith. I have heard it a couple
of years, and I know what some of his terminology is, so I know how to read the
report, but I was thinking like for Cherie and Tammy that it would be nice if he
would explain so of that, so that they know what his terminology and what those
numbers were.
Bird: Mr. Mayor. Councilman Anderson, do you have any problem with us
passing it tonight so that we can get it out to the public, and then Kevin would be
glad to come back to our next workshop for 10 minutes for Tammy and Cherie,
but we need to get it passed and to the proper people so the public can come in
and review it.
Anderson: No, I do not have a problem with that.
Bird: Okay, that is what you wanted and I wanted Janice.
Smith: Yes, and just overview of the investments and cash flow.
Bird: Mr. Mayor what do you want to do? Do you want to pass the --? Mr. Mayor,
I would move that we accept the 1999-2000 audit of the City of Meridian.
Anderson: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to approve the 1999-2000 audit acceptance.
Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Smith: Thank you Mayor and Council. I was just going to do a brief overview of
our cash investment report. You received your expenditure revenue reports last
week. The property tax money came in the 29th so we did not have to pull any
money from the investments. That was the $2 million for $90,000. I did an
analysis over the last 4 months. Our revenues averaging $250,000, that is not
including our property tax money, but our operating expenses are $538,000, and
the capital is running about $161,000. The total of those operating and capital,
these are minor capitals, this is about $700,000, so in our general fund we are
falling short about $450,000 on our expenditures which with our tax money that
comes in twice a year does help. The tax money will get us by through June. We
are going to be a little tight through June, which also depends on our parks and
our police how they are going on their capital projects. We may have to again
have our investment agents have some money out there in case we need to pull
that in June until our next big property tax which in the last part of July which is
probably running close to $2 million. In the enterprise, they are doing pretty good
right now. Their revenue for the last 4 months averaging about $700,000 and
between their operating and capital that is $450,000, so they are okay right now.
But as our public works director indicated they have some big projects coming
Meridian City Council Meeting:
February 27. 2001
Page 57
down the road, and they expect in June that we may have to pull some money
from investments on that. We have made sure our investment agency -
*** End of Side Four ***
Smith: -- penalties, so they do have some investments ready in June and July so
we can pull those out as they come due. That is more just an overview. We will
be tracking the capital expenses so we can inform our investment agents and
make sure that the Mayor and Council are up to date on where our money is at
because this a tight year. We want to keep that money in investments to help
fund the Police Station. I am very glad that you guys decided to vote on the Mill
Levy, and I am ready to help anybody in charge with some figures and some
growth rates that I have had in my office for whoever wants to be in charge of
that. Thank you.
Corrie: Any other questions?
De Weerd: I have a question, Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: In looking at the investments, it reminds me with the Park Impact Fee
when we are going to get that updated. As well, I know we had once talked about
initiating a Safety Impact Fee as - do you know the status of that?
Corrie: Well last I heard on that one we have to have a different committee on
Public Safety other than Park Impact Fees. Is that correct Tom?
Kuntz: The increase in the Impact Fee is going to be connected to the Action
Comprehensive Plan so as soon as we get that finished up which we should
have for the Council in March because the commission reviewed it last night.
Then we will meet with the Committee. I talked to a couple of attorneys, and I
know I need to meet with Mr. Nichols on that issue also, but that and establishing
an Impact Fee for our Impact area that would go to the County Commissioners is
another key element that I want to accomplish within the next 2 to 3 months
Corrie: the one for the Police and Fire is a little bit of a difficulty.
Kuntz: Mr. Mayor and Members of Council in order to have an Impact Fee you
first have to have a Capital Facilities Plan on those areas. For example, on
emergency services for fire and police there would need to be a Capital Facilities
Plan which says this is what we project; this is what we need; this is how much it
is going to cost and those sorts of things in order to be able to have that type of
Impact Fee if you choose to enact one.
Meridian City Council Meeting
February 27, 2001
Page 58
Anderson: Basically, it will have that or will be getting that shortly with the
evaluations that we had it would just a matter of extracting that information from
those reports and putting that into a separate Capital Facilities Plan.
De Weerd: And assigning someone to work on that.
Corrie: We are getting the police surveying done.
Bird: When will that be in Mayor?
Corrie: That should be starting this month, March. They are getting everything
lined up. The fact is I think they are doing, they have done it. I think they are just
going to put it together now.
Bird: That should give us a Capital Facilities layout just like the fire one. They laid
it out for us, and it is up to us to enact and get it taken care of so that we stay on
top.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I think sometimes that we have to be very careful with Impact Fees. They
have been challenged, and we want to make sure we cross all of our Ts and dot
all of our Is when we do an Impact Fee so that we do not plan on something and
then find out that we cannot do it.
Corrie: Anything else?
Anderson: I make a motion that we adjourn.
Corrie: Do I hear a second?
Bird: I second it.
Corrie: Okay, motion to adjourn has been made and seconded. All those in
favor say aye.

Re: Bear Creek Park Master Plan
Please find attached a colored drawing of the Bear Creek Park master plan for your
approval~ The public reviewed and commented on the plan at a January 17th meeting.
The Parks and Recreation Commission voted on February 12 to recommend approval to
the City Council.
Phase one construction will start this spring and includes parking lotsJ perimeter pathway,
irrigation system, and grass seeding~ We asked the developer to submit their estimate to
build phase one. Those figures should be available within the next few weeks.
Rough costs to build the entire park, as illustrated in the master plan were not available for
council packets and will be distributed at the February 27th Council Meeting.

CITY OF MERIDIA-N
In response to Will's lllemorandum to aU departments :in September, I received comments
frO.ill the Public Works, Planning & Zoning, Accounting, MUBS, and the Parks &
Recreation Departments. The Police Department retl1rned theirs with no comments. The
Parks Department felt that although it was time for a new logo, they did not like these
choices. They did like the font, 'the center of the treasure valley' and the lines
transitioning into wheat and 'since 1893'.
The popular choice from the responses we received from enlployees was for the specific
logo that had the least amount of detail, referred to as #3. Liked it simple.. Primary use
for this would be on vehicles, shirts, and lapel pins.. Second ch.oice for that use was #4..
Number 1 & 6 received the vote for business cards and letterhead. There was an
overwhelming response across the board against the use of the flags. Additionally there
were several comments on why 'the hub' was dropped and replaced with 'the center' ~
The suggestion was also made to add above "Meridian", 'City of .
The popular consensus on the choices from the responses we received for colors for the
City seal were for the gray & slate blue..

homeowners or something else through a latecomer.
Bird: VeSt but not a 3 or 400 footer a three mile -
Anderson: Yes but we're not talking about great distances. I was just trying to
think as the Mayor brought up that topic, whether that could be extended to some
commercial businesses. If it was just a single business and wasnJt a large use, I
really wouldn't have any problem with it on a commercial business with the same
criteria. We're telling them that as soon as - possibly you have to apply for
annexation and if you're contiguous, be annexed into the City. I think in those
cases where they're not, if somebody wants us to extend it outside the City and
their not contiguous in those decisions there ought to be a provision in this
Ordinance. Like the Counselor said, allow that to come before the City Council.
Bird: I believe that Gary and Bill can get together and write up one for us to
review, I'm sure that would be acceptable.. Any other questions?
Smith: Mr. President, we would need to include the agreement for annexation as
part of this Ordinance I would think too so they know. Thank you.
Issue #8
Discussion of Permissive Encroachment Agreement
Bird: The Permissive Encroachment Agreement. Who's handling that?
Anderson: Who knows what it is?
Bird: I know what it is, but are you taking care of that. Mr. Nichols?
Nichols: Yes, the file is so thick I can't even get it out of the box. This is the -
you will recall the Generations Plaza. The building that encroached a whole four
inches at one end of the lot line, and I think an inch and three quarters at the
other end of the lot line. The stem wall was already, the foundation was in and
the wall was going up. I was directed to prepare an Encroachment Agreement
whereby - it's like a Party Wall Agreement that would allow this building to be in
the same place. Now ifs extended all the way out to the alley, but essentially the
same line where the old building was which slightly encroaches on to City
property. That's what I've done, I've prepared that permissive encroachment
agreement That's it, that's was pursued to your direction.
Bird: Council?
Anderson: I'm just glad to have it.
Bird: Me too. Mayor, if we can't get anything out of the Council, maybe the
Mayor can say something.

Corrie: I read it, I think it's (inaudible) appropriate~
De Weerd: No comment
Bird: No comment? Would you guys put that down on record? Tammy didn't
have a comment Do we need to get that on the agenda?
Nichols: Mr. President, Mayor, members of the Council. I think what we had in
mind was that now you've had a chance to look at it we can put it on the Consent
Agenda~ We can do that, we can send it to them for signature, they're happy
with it and then when the signed one's back ifs on the Consent Agenda and we
can approve it
Bird: Okay Mayor?
Corrie: Yes~
Issue #9
Discussion of Revenues from Parking Fines, Animal Control Fines

Bird: Next Item, Discussion of Revenues from Parking Fines, Animal Control

Smith: I brought some history ~
De Weerd: We knew you must be sticking around for something.
(Inaudible discussion amongst Council members~)
Bird: Janice if you would like to explain some things.
J. Smith: I didn't put this on the agenda so I don't know if the police are here but
I brought some history. I saw it on this agenda so I showed up~
Bird: I believe that the Chief and - Shari was that to ask about this?
Stiles: Yes.
Bird: Which one of you want to?
Gordon: Mrt Mayor and Council, President, this was an issue. A couple of these
points were issues two years ago with the parking fines and the Animal Control
fines being used to fund some of the expenses on the pound and also on the
Parking Ordinances~ It just kind of never went anywhere and I was curious how
do you want to proceed? It was of interest two years ago. There was going to
be a resolution drawn up the last that I remember it and that just never took

Kuntz: Yes, sir.
Anderson: I don't think the Pre-Council is the format to do it~
McCandless: Well, what time does the P and Z meet? 7:30 p~m~?
Bird: They should meet on Tuesdays~ Ron is talking about a week from today~
This is a Wednesday.
McCandless: Thafs what I said. What time do they meet?
Anderson: Yes, I don't care. I'd just as soon get it over with.
Berg: We can work out some dates options.
Kuntz: I was told that the Council was tied up next Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday.
Bird: What for? I think the Mayor is out of town - that energy thing.
Kuntz: That would be great if we could do it next week. Could I just work with the
City Clerk?
Bird: Yes, you and the City Clerk work with the Mayor and see what we can
come up with~
3, Generations Building property-line Discussion:
Kuntz: Thank you. The last item I have for your consideration - you should have
a memo in regards to the Generations building encroachment.. It's a difficult
situation and I think our City Attorney may have some suggestions on how we
can resolve the problem.
Nichols: Mr~ President, members of the Council. My recommendation would be
to do an Encroachment Agreement and be done with it~ Technically, if we make
it a sale of the three inches or four inches or whatever it iSJ then it becomes a
major process of appraisal and so forth if we just simply call it an Encroachment
Agreement and they pay us some reasonable consideration and then we're
done.. It, in effect, takes away three inches or four inches or whatever along that
side of City property and perpetuity for as long as the next buildings up. In the
overall scheme of things, I don't think it's worth trouble of actually selling it~ Just
do an encroachment~
Bird: Council. What's your pleasure?
Meridian City Council Meeting
November 8. 2000
Page 72
Anderson: So the option is not one that's listed on here, then? It's not to sell it.
It's to sign an Encroachment Agreement?
Nichols: Councilman Anderson, that's correct That way, we've got the - they
have the ability at the point of the Encroachment Agreement. Ifs like a party wall
agreement At that point, they can go ahead and proceed with their construction.
We could clean it up and do the boundary line adjustment and do the thing that's
so forth later on, but I think it's just as easy to go ahead and do the
encroachment. It's less trouble~
Anderson: Mr. President.
Bird: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: I would make a motion that we have the City Attorney draw up an
Encroachment Agreement for the building that's being built by Stuart Lanney and
Benoit next to Generations Plaza and authorize the Mayor to sign and the Clerk
to attest
Bird: Do I hear a second?
McCandless: Second~
Bird: Okay. Any discussion? Hearing none. Let's vote on the motion made for
the Generations building property line encroachment All in favor?

contractor. Bill Nichols has went through it and found out the risk insurance was

Re: License Agreement wI Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District
Dear Mayor & Council: Here is a License Agreement, as prepared by the attorney
for the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District, to allow us to access and operate new
City Well No.21 utilizing the easement they have for operation and maintenance of
this affected portion of the Eight Mile Lateral.
Our need for this License Agreement is three-fold.
1. Provide access from Watertower Lane to the new well site along the District's
maintenance road..
2. Construct a new water main beneath the Districfs access road to connect the
new well site to the existing water main in Watertower Lane.
3. Provide a point of discharge into the Eight Mile Lateral from the new well site to
allow by-pass pumping of well water during maintenance and or other times well
water should not be pumped into the disbibution system.
City Attorney Bill Nichols and I have reviewed this proposed Agreement and have a
couple of items needing action by the District. They are:
a. On Page 3, Item No.10 needs to be removed because it conflicts with the
provisions expressed in Item No.7.
b. On Page 6, the last sentence in Item (d) needs to be
revised because the City does not own any property

Our intent is to improve the existing ditch bank maintenance road to an "Ail-Weather'
gravel road extending from Watertower Lane to our new well site~

Honorable mayor Robert D. Corrie
Meridian City Council
RE: Line item transfers
Ladies & Gentlemen,
I find it necessary to request transfers from certain line items to bolster deficient areas of the
Wastewater Department budget. I am requesting the following transfers and authorization to
spend those transferred funds for the stated uses.
1. I request $193,500.00 be transferred from account 96103 (TPAD/Clarifier project) to
account 96141 (WWTP Generator #3 project). The transfer would fund electrical
improvements to the Wastewater Plant. Taylor Engineering found these improvements
necessary in a recent study of the plant done in preparation of generator #3 installation.
A copy of their findings and recommendations is attached. Completion of the project
would support future growth at the wastewater facility.
2. I request all the funds in account 96144, totaling $12,000.00 be transferred to account
52400 (Collection System Maintenance). Account 96144 was to fund a pump upsizing at
Ashford Greens Lift Station. This upsizing will not be necessary until next year at the
earliest. The $12,000.00 will be used to camera new sewer lines in developing
subdivisions prior to acceptance by the City.
3. I request $37,850.00 be transferred form account 55180 (Special Projects Expense) to
account 41200 (Wages). The funds will be used to provide raises to the Wastewater
Operators in order to retain them as employees. We lost an operator, Class II, to Boise
in January and another to Boise today. There is another operator being courted by the
City of Nampa. The reason for the loss of operators is that both Nampa and Boise raised
their pay scales recently. Nampa and Boise's beginning wage for an operator is $500 to
$900 per month higher than ours. I need to pay our operators $500 per month more in
order to retain them. Loss of these qualified and trained operators would severely
hamper our ability to operate the treatment plant. I also need to raise the Lab Tech's pay
by $150.00 per month to retain our technician. The raises, although out of guideline, are
essential to retaining these employees. The ranges for Nampa and Boise are attached. J
believe the wages for this skilled profession are escalating due to lack of qualified
operators within the state. This lack of operators is forcing Nampa and Boise to either
hire OUR operators or to go out of state. ALL other states are mandatory certification
states, which raise the price for acquiring their ser/ices. This will continue as an on-
'going pf6brem dUe'toouilocatlon and need for qualified personnel.
Thank you for your help.

1. Remove blower motors (3 each) where new Distribution Switchgear will be
installed.
Verify who will perform this work
2. Install new Service Entrance Disconnect outside of the mechanical building.
3. Install new Distribution Switchgear next to MCC-3 ATS. Allow enough room
for a new ATS to be installed here in the future (when the old Cummins
generator is replaced).
4. Run new conduits and conductors (above ground) from the new Service
" ,EntranceDiscOl.ll1.ectJothe,newDistribution Switchboard.
5. Run new underground conduits from the new Service Entrance Disconnect to a
new vault located next to the existing 500KV A utility transformer.
Complete as much of this work as possible without de-energizing
SOOKV A utility transformer (pull conductors into vault & excavate around
the utility transformer).
6. Run new feeders from the new Distribution Switchgear to the following
equipment. Complete as much work as possible without de-energizing any of
the MCC's.
MCG-2 (This f~eder could be spliced and reused - if a new feeder is
desired,instalLenough conduit in the trench to accommodate for future

"'full 'capacity'ofthese"MCC"g"'(600A) ,'"s: the reduced amperage feeders that exist
now. These feeders will not need to be replaced when future generator projects
are completed.
7. OPTION #1: Use the I200A fused switch (with 1200A fuses) in the new
switchgear, which will eventually be used to feed MCC-7 (with 900A fuses), to
temporarily power MCC-I. Extend conduit and conductors as close as possible,
without de-energizing MCC-I.
Powering MCC-l from the new switchgear will allow the various feeders
to be removed from MCC-l one at a time. This will require less
manpower and downtime than would be needed if all of the feeders were
transferred over at once, but will add some additional costs.
8. During a shutdown (duration as per WWTF personnel), extend conduits and
make final connections from the existing SOOKV A utility transformer to the new

shutdowns (duration as per WWTF personnel).
10. If OPTION #1 is not elected, during the same shutdown listed above in 8.),
make final connections from new switchgear to all equipment currently fed
from MCC-I. See item 6.) above.
Contractor will need to include money in his bid to perform all of this
work during an acceptable shutdown time frame (minimum downtime of
at least S hours).
If this option is elected, all of the work listed below for MCC-7 will also
need to be completed, prior to the shutdown (except for new conductors in
existing conduits).

From: Meridian Development Committee
Re: Proposed Urban Renewal District
At the City Council Workshop on February 13th, you requested that this Committee forward to
you suggested boundaries for an urban renewal district in Meridian. We understand that this
district must include "deteriorating or deteriorated areas" whose future development would
benefit the City.
Therefore, the Committee proposes that the district be defined as a one-mile radius
centered at E. First and Pine. This area takes in Meridian's core which includes the old
creamery and vacant property along the railroad corridor.
Questions regarding this recommendation may be forwarded to me.

Downtown Parking
Mayor,
Since your meeting of tonite will have a segemnt about Parking. and I
will nto be able to attend, I need to tell aobut the Downtown area
parki ng.
With the construction of the New Buildings, and the New Influx of
Customersl employee this will create a strain on the available parking
in the downtown area.
Yesterday(Monday) a Police Officer came thru this area marking Tires,
but he only marked certain cars, he walked right by the contractors
truck that have been taking up the parking spaces tht really are for
our CUSTOMERS, didnot mark them.. He gave my employee a $10 Citation.
Needless to say, I have a Parking area behind my office that has been
nearly impossible to park in. because of the Construction, Yestereday
We culd not get in because of Contractors being parked in the way..
therefore my employee had to park in a different area. also the Parking
lot of the City's off Pine street had 3 cars and several Contractors
Pickups in it and the Officer only marked the Cars..
that too is not fai r to anyone.
I feelt hat something Immeditatly has to be done. and it seems that
enforcement is the key, and/or changing the time limit on the parking
on street) as well as enforcement. and perhaps having a place that all
employees could park. or the city needs to accuire and provide parking
since it did not require these builidngs to have adequate parking~
The officer on came thru here on Monday and that is the first time in
severla YEARS. Something has to be done and be done immediatly.
I would apprecate it if you would pass on my concerns to the rest of the
council members.

I ntrod uction
Sanitary Services implemented a number of new programs and worked closely with city staff on
a number of issues in 2000. In this annuaf report we wirl discuss the progress made in 2000 as
well as present some ideas as to new programs and jnitiatives in 2001.
This report is organized by the fofJowing types of collection systems:
· residential collecti on
· commercial collection
· rorl off collection
· recycling services
We arso discuss community involvement issues and new program imprementation and future
issu eSt
The bar graph below shows the total waste generation in the city in 1999 and 2000 in pounds.
In 1999 there were 53.6 million pounds of waste generated, and in 2000 approximately 64.6
million pounds were transported to the landfill] a 20.50/0 increase in waste generation.

Residential Collection
Services
Sanitary Services provides unlimited, weekly solid waste collection to the residents of the City of
Meridian~ At the end of 1999 there were 10 t817 residentiar accounts and at the end of 2000
there were 11 ~450 residential accounts, a 5.80/0 increase for the year. The rate structure for
unlimited weekly collection was $7.20 per residence per month for the first nine months of 2000.
In October the rate was increased to $9.50 which included an increase of $2.10 per house per
month for recycring and $0.20 per house per month cost of living increase. The optional toter
cart program introduced in 1998 continues to grow. By the end of 2000 there were 4,160 toters
in use as opposed to the end of 1999 when there were 3t904 in use. We will continue to
djstribute toters to homeowners in Merjdian throughout 2001. We are experiencing a 600/0 to
800/0 acceptance rate for the carts depending upon the neighborhood~

Equipment
Fourt 1998 International trucks with 25-yard McNeilus rear-load compactor bodies provide
servjce to the residential accounts. These vehicles were new in 1997 and were modified in
1998 with hydraulic tipping units to service 95-gallon toter carts~ This equipment remained on a
20-day maintenance cycte throughout the year. Out of approximately 8l00a operational hours
there were five hours of mechanical breakdowns throughout the yeaL There are two back-up
trucks available in the case of breakdown or increased service needs.
Waste Generation Rates
In 2000, $136~445 in landfill fees were paid to Ada County for disposal of residential waste from
Meridian4 This is equivalent to 30~700, 125 pounds of waste for the yeac 7.55 pounds per house
per day~ and 2.52 pounds per person per day. All of these categories were essentially equal to
1999 statistics as you can see in the table below.
1998 1999 2000
Disposal Fees paid for Residential Waste $ 98.485 $ 136,660 $ 136,445
Total Pounds Discarded 27,784,537 30,748,500 30,700,125
Pounds per house per day discarded 7.61 8.10 7.55
Pounds per person per day 2.54 2.70 2.52
Landfill disposal rates remained unchanged in 2000 and the total amount paid for disposal was
essentially identical to 1999 with a slightly lower total weight discarded which is in part due to
the implementation of the curbside recycling program in October of 2000.
Services
Commercial Collection
Sanitary Services provides at least once a week collection to each commercial business in
Meridian. The frequency of collection and the container size are determined by the waste
generation characteristics of each business. Numbers of commercial accounts are listed in the
table below
Year Number of commercial accounts at end of year
1997 250
1998 401
1999 461
2000 550
Commercial account growth has been 19.30/0 in the past year and 400/0 annualized over a 3 year
period.
CommerciaJ accounts were
changed from a rear loading
system to a front-loading
system in 1999. The
conversion of all remaining
rear load accounts to front
load was completed in 2000.
This newer system has reduced worker compensation claims and is more productive.
~

Commercial customer rates
were unchanged from 1999
levels until October of 2000
when rates were increased

increased co] lection costs.

CommerciaJ collection equipment consists of a 1999 Volvo WX64 with a 40 cubic yard Wittke
body and a 1993 Volvo with a 40 cubic yard Heil body.
All commercial equipment was on a 20-day maintenance cycle throughout the year and there
was 30 minutes of mechanical downtime during the 3,500 hours ~of use throughout the year.
Waste Generation Rates
Based on landfill fees paid for disposal of commercial wasteJ there was 15.47 million pounds of
commercial waste collected from businesses in Meridian in 20.00 which is approximately equal
to 10.6 pounds per business per day. This amount of waste is a 8.4 percent increase over the
previous year.
Roll Off Refuse Collection
Services
Roll off services are provided to permanent accounts that have compactors, or roll off
boxes, and temporary accounts that utHize 20~ 30 or 40 cubic yard boxes. Temporary
containers typically are used for construction debris during home or business building or
renovation.
By the end of 2000 there were 42
permanent commercial accounts. This is
a 16.7 percent increase over 1999.
Since 1998t permanent roll off accounts
have increased from 28 to their current
leve r.
Temporary account activity was steady
throughout the year with a seasonaJ high
in activity in the summer months during
the construction season.

There were adjustments made to roll off service rates in October 2000 to account for
increased cost of collection.
Equipment
We began 2000 with three roll off trucks, a 1999 International~ a 1995 Volvo1 and a 1989
White/GMC. Each truck is equipped with a cable hoist system. In July, a 2001 Volvo
roll off truck was purchased to meet increasing demand~ Out of approximately 6,000
hours of use there was 1 hour of mechanical down time in 2000.
Waste Generation Rates
Waste generation rates increased the
most in the roll off container system.
This increase is directly related to the
amount of construction in the City.
Based on landfill fees paid for
disposal of rorl off system waste.
there were 151504,100 pounds of
material collected from permanent
and temporary commercial accounts
that utilize roll off boxes or containers.
This is a 47 percent increase over the
1999 waste load of 10,535,590.

included used oil coJlectionJ fall feaf collectionr phone book recyclingJ and Christmas
tree collection. In conjunction with the residential recycling programJ the household
hazardous waste collection frequency was increased to a monthly basis.
Curbside RecvcJinq Collection
On October 2, 2000 the residential curbside collection of recyclable material began.
Residential collection fees were increased by $2.10 for all residential accounts. Material
colfected includes aluminum and tin~ newspapers, mixed grade paper (junk mail),
plasticsr cardboard, and magazines.
For the three frnar months of 2000 the weights of material collected was 195J320
pounds in OctoberJ 199J531 in NovemberJ and 1931550 in December. The drop off in
weights in December is attributable to the Christmas and New Year holidays~
Participation in the program is approximately 70%.
,<"1
The value of the commodities collected equaled $11,632.36. After subtracting the
amount to conduct the household hazardous waste collection the net amount provided
to the City of Meridian was $ 91685. 72~
Household Hazardous Waste Co~lection Proqram
In 1999 the household hazardous waste was collected on a one-time-per-year basis. In
May of 2000 the program was expanded to be every other month. Then, with the
beginning of the residentiar recycling program the commodity revenue was used to fund
a monthly collection beginning in October, 2000 for a total of six collection events in
2000. Sanitary Services contracted with MSE Environmental Inc. of CamariJlo1
California to conduct all of the
events in 2000.
Total weights collected for 1999 and
2000 are indicated in the bar graph
at right. Total weights collected
increased by 3.1 percent year over
year while the number of cars
serviced in these events decreased
from 337 in 1999 to 293 in 2000~ It
is important to recognize that the
Ada County Commissioners
donated all of the disposal costs for

the wastes that were collected. Without this donation it is likely that th.e cost of the
program would be too prohibitive to conduct.
Phone Book Recvclinq
Annually, Sanitary Services donates all conection costs to complete recycling of US
West YeJ]ow Pages in Meridian. In November 2000~ five, 6 cubic yard dumpsters were
located at four Jackson's Texaco locations withjn the City limits of Meridian and at
Sanitary Service's office. Books were coUected periodically as the dumpsters were filled
and the books were delivered to Western Recycling for processing. There were 34,030
pounds (17 tons) of phone books recycled. This is the third year in which Sanitary
Service Inc. has participated in the program. Corlection weights in the prior year were
21 ,550 pounds.
Used Oil Correction
Residents are aJlowed
to place up to two
gallons of used oir per
week at the curbside
for collection on their
normal trash collection
day. The used oil is
poured into storage
tanks on the trucks
and at the end of the
day pumped into a
50D-gallon storage
tank located at our
.shop at 722 W.
Franklin. The used oj]
is collected by Thermo
F J u ids for energy
recovery.

As you can see from the bar graph, used oil collection steadily declined from the
inception of the program through 1999. In 2000, the program volumes by month
became steadier and there are seasonal peaks in the Spring and Fall of 2000. In total,
51974 gallons (3,261 in 1999 and 2,713 gallons in 2000) of oi I have been collected. Th is
volume excludes the amount collected at the household hazardous waste events.
Fait Leaf Collection
Calendar year 2000 marked the second year of Fall Leaf collection& Residential
customers were required to bag their leaves in large Kraft bags or place them in open
top garbage cans. The leaves were placed at the curbside on the normal collection day
and they were collected in a separate vehicle. Leaves were transported to the Ada
County landfill where they were milled into compost There were no disposal fees
charged by Ada County for this material. More than 980 bags of leaves were collected
from 225 homes in 2000~ This was an 8.6 percent increase in the volume of leaves
collected as compared with 1999.
In the first year of the program there were some residents that were unable to purchase
Kraft bags because local merchants did not stock enough supply. This year we did not
hear of any such difficuftjes~
Christmas Tree Recvclino
During the week of January 8, 2001, 2~245 Christmas trees were collected for recycling.
All trees were collected in a separate vehicle from residential solid waste. The trees
were delivered to the wood chipping operation at the Ada County Landfill where they
were chipped and shipped off site for cattle bedding. There were no disposal fees
charged by Ada County for this material.
Commercial Services
Cardboard and wood wastes are both currently recycled from businesses in Meridian.
Additionally, new recycling programs for Jabif Circuit began during the year.
Businesses that recycle gain financially through reduced solid waste fees.
Cardboard
Commercial accounts that segregate cardboard into dedicated compactor units include
Fred Meyerf RC Willey, Winco, and Office Depot. These compactor boxes are
transferred and unloaded at Western Recycling on Cole Road. In 2000 there were
1 OJ 993 cubic yards of compacted recyclable cardboard diverted from the landfill. This is
equivalent to 2f968, 11 0 pounds or about 1 t480 tons of cardboard~ The value of this
material is remunerated to the generator of the cardboard.
Additionally! 562 cubic yards of loose cardboard were generated at commercial
establishments. These loads are typically generated at new commercial accounts
during the time when the shelves are being stocked prior to opening. This volume
equates to about 20 tons of material diverted from the waste stream.
Wood Waste
In 2000, 1 ~440 cubic yards of wood waste were diverted from the landfill; a 37 percent
increase in volume over the 1 1048 cubic yards collected in 1999. Wood waste is
transferred to the landfill where if is mifled in a tub grinder for various uses. The wood
waste is collected at commercial businesses such as Consolidated Freightwaysl Jabil
Circuit, and Yellow Freight~ in a 20 or 3D-yard roll off box.
Jabil Circuit
Working with Western Recycling and Sanitary Services, Jabil Circuit has arranged to
recycle Integrated Circuit tubes and reels from their manufacturing facility in Meridian.
Although there is no commodity value to the material, Jabil reaHzes a cost benefit from
segregation of the material through avoided disposal costs~ In 2000J 1,140 loose cubic
yards of this material were recycled~
Community Involvement
Sanitary Services is very privileged to be part of the community of Meridian. We feel
that it is important to give back to the community that makes us successful. Below are
fisted some of the organizations and functions that we supported with cash or service
donations in 2000:
American Diabetes Association
Cherry Plaza Festival of Wreaths
Friends of Meridian Parks
Lions Club Rodeo
Meridian Athletic Roundtable
Meridian Chamber of Commerce- Chili Feed and Pancake Feed
Meridian Chamber of Commerce- Courtesy cans emptied once per week throughout

New Program Implementation and Future Issues
New Shop/Office Facility with Transfer Station
With the tremendous growth of the City of Meridian and the upcoming closure of the
Ada County Landfill within the next 5 to 10 years there is a need for a new shop and
office with a transfer facility. Our current location at 722 W. Franklin is not adequate to
meet the needs of our expanding fleet from a service or logistics standpoint. We require
a two-bay shop and more area to park our trucks. With the closure of the Ada County
Landfill the next disposal site may be many miles away and it will not be practical to
drive our collection trucks. The transfer facility would be a large building located on the .
same property as the new shC?P and office. Our collection vehicles would drop off their
waste loads when full within the confines of the building and the waste would be
transferred into a larger semi-truck trailer that would then be driven to a disposal site.
This would allow the collection trucks to be more efficient, and would allow for the
competitive bidding of disposal costs so that we would not be at mercy of a single
disposal site.
We are currently working with a developer to determine if the property located
immediately South of the City's wastewater treatment plant off of Ten Mile Road would
be suitab!e as a site. We feel that the transfer facility would be a compatible use with
the adjacent wastewater treatment pfant~
The transfer facility would be used as a location where other items could be diverted
from the waste stream such as grass and wood wastes. There would be recycling drop
off receptacles provided on site for those willing to drive material to the site. For
example) glass could be collected in a drop off bin even though it is not collected in the
residential curbside collection program.

Re: White Drain Sewer Trunk
wvtU
Mayor & Council: I have met with Ed Be\NS and Frank Varialle (Bridgetower Subd.
developers) and Becky Bowcutt to discuss the anticipated schedule whereby the
City can begin receiving easements for this trunk sewer through the Bridgetower
Subdivision project Following that meeting Brad Watson prepared the attached
Preliminary Schedule.
This schedule is based on the easement process beginning after a
recommendation for approval of the application by our Planning & Zoning
Commission. This procedure will allow the design to be started on an
alignment that has at least received a preliminary approval or recommendation
for approval.
Easements would be submitted to the City at the same time the application is
submitted to City Council, on May 1, 2001. The developer feels fairly confident that if
the application is recommended for approval to Council by P&Z, it will receive
favorable action by Council.
We expect substantial completion of the construction of the White Drain Sewer
Trunk January 3, 2002, assuming the rest of the schedule is good.

Re: Water Quality Letter
-----
Dear Mayor & Council: Here is a letter that your Water Department wants to send
out to residents living in the Summerfield, Cougar Creek and Howell Tract
Subdivisions to address the discolored water that they have recently been seeing.
The letter was composed with the help of our hydro-geologist, who has been
investigating the cause and cure of the discolored water.
He has a good idea why this is occuning and we are in the process of making some
changes to our water system to eliminate the problem. The purpose of this letter is to
let our customers in this service area know that we are working toward a solution to
the problem and not ignoring it
Please let me know if you approve or have any comments or concems about this
infonnationalletter. I would like to send it out shortly after the February 27th Council
meeting so, If you have time to look this over by then it would be much appreciated.

Dear Valued Water Customer,
The City of Meridian Water Department has received many sporadic water quality complaints
from customers in the north Meridian area over the last year. Thanks to your calls, the City is
aware that a water quality problem exists related to discolored water and iron staining.. We are
sincere in wanting to solve these problems. The City has actively pursued an investigation into
the cause(s) of the discolored water and has hired a consultant with hydrological and
geochemical expertise to work with the Water Department to understand why it occurs.
The City regularly tests the water quality of all of its wells throughout the distribution system.
We have conducted additional sampling of the north Meridian area over the last 6-months.
Although your water may sometimes appear discolored, there are no safety concerns and the
water is perfectly safe to drink. We are not suggesting that you drink discolored water, but
simply, that you clear your lines by letting your tap run for a time when you observe discolored
water. The staining is caused by oxidization of new metallic pipe and well casing within the
water distribution system. We are taking active measures to eliminate the causative factors and
increasing our water main flushing program to clear the lines..
Identifying and rectifying the discolored water problems takes time. The water quality sampling
and laboratory analyses must be duplicated and performed at different times of the year. The
testing is complicated by multiple wells supplying a given area and the fact that only a few wells
are operating during the winter months as opposed to many pumping during summer. This, in
turn, can reverse the direction of water flow through the water mains, which can cause
discoloration as well. Finally, physical changes to our distribution system and different
operating procedures, recommended by our consultants, will take some time to implement. We

Re: WWTP Headworks Modification & Septage Receiving Station
I am forwarding, for approval at the February 27 City Council meeting, a Change Order N04 3
for the WWTP project JC Constructors is completing. The change order involves four
modifications or additions to the contract.
1)
Re-alian seotaae pit pioe Iine4 The realignment is required because the existing
elevation of the tie-in point is higher than record drawings indicate and also to move
the pipeline farther away from future tertiary filters. The cost of this change is
$2,871 ~22.
2)
Haul off of previouslv existing stockpiled materials.. John Shawcroft wanted to have
JC Constructors haul off and clear a stockpile (approximately 400 CY) generated by
previous projects at the plant while JC Constructors. equipment is on-site. The cost
of this addition is $2~ 1 01 ~05.
Add conduit to seotage receivinQ station. Plant staff requested that a 1-%" conduit be
extended from the tertiary filters to the septage station under an access road for
future lighting conductors. The cost of this addition is $650.87.
3)
4)
Repair existing manhole on North Sewer Trunk Into WVVTP~ After completion of the
headworks modification projectJ it was discovered that the sewer trunk manhole
immediately south of the Creason Lateral was leaking groundwater through the "boot'J
on the south side. Our contract inspector noticed it but could not determine if the leak
was caused by Brown ConstructionJs initial installation, Jets installation connection of
the pipe line to the headworks, or faulty manufacture of
the manhole. In order to expedite repair and avoid
mobilization costs of bringing in another contractor, I have

approval ~ Engineer shou Id make di stribution of executed copies after approval by both parties.
