Kingsford: Giesler does the ernmissions testing so that is why he has a conflict.
Pete Michaelson: We will be glad to work with any citizen who had ideas on this
matter.
Kingsford: I don't feel it would be inappropriate for Mr. Giesler's questions at
all because we are not voting on this it is an informational thing at this point.
Giesler: My big concern is the bar 90 equipment at this time. I think it is very
premature we would be required to put this equipment in as long as we are just measuring
the carbon moxide only. If we are going to measure all four gases then I am for it
but not if we are just doing the one.
Turner: I hope to have more answers after the EPA meeting this month. I can't
say for sure whether or not they will require the Bar 90.
Giesler: The thing is don't make it mandatory if we do, that is an operator's option
as to whether he purchases the equipment now or not. I'm all for air quality.
Turner: I do hope to have more information for the public.
Tolsma: What has been done to get other counties involved with this air quality.
Turner: The only avenue we have for approaching that is through State Legislature.
We continue to push the issue, because that is the major complaint we here.
Tolsma: Have you ever thought of everybody that buys a parking permit down there as
having to have the air testing done or anything like that?
Turner: That has been considered. There has been some work to try to put in place
a voluntary program where the major employers will be asking their personell to test.
All details not worked out yet.
Kingsford: What kind of a population does it take to require that,
approaching that.
is Canyon County
Turner: It's not so much population as it is air quality.
ITEM #4: FINAL PLAT ON GLENNFIELD #5:
Don Hubble: I am the project engineer for Glennfield #5 & #6. The preliminary plat
for Glennfield Manor was approved in the late 70's. What we are doing now is
completing two phases of this. This is out off of Linder Road just north of
Ch~rry Lane.
Kingsford: Would you address the Settlers Canal issue?
Hubble: The developer of Glennfield Manor #6 has offered to pipe that portion of the
ditch that would run through their property.
Eng. Smith: If the developers pipe the ditch on #6 then as I understand it Settlers
will require a short length of access road on Crystal Springs Subdivision which is to
the west of Glennfield No.6.

Tolsma: I have questions for the City Engineer. Has everything been complied with
on your recommendations?
Eng. Smith: Yes, on G1ennfield #6 I received final plat on that one and everything
was taken care of. I haven't received final plats back on #5 at this time.
The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Yerrington to approve the Final Plat on
Glennfield #5 subject to City Engineer's approval.
Motion Carried: All Yea:
ITEM #5: FINAL PLAT ON GLENNFIELD #6:
The Motion was made by Myers and seconded by Tolsma to approve the Final Plat on Glennfield
#6.
Motion Carried: All Yea.
ITEM #6: COVENANTS GLENNFIELD #5 & #6:
The Motion was made by Myers and seconded by Yerrington to approve the covenants for
Glennfield #5 & #6.
Atty, Crookston: I have a couple of things here, I think the best way to handle it
is to present them to Mr. Hubble and they can be worked out they are not anything serious.
Both the Motion and the second were withdrawn.
Eng. Smith: I was talking to Don Smitchger of the Settlers Canal Company and he asked
that the developer consider in their covenants a statement that precluded the planting
of trees along that portion of the Settlers ditch that is being piped.
The Motion was made by Myers and seconded by Yerrington to approve the Covenants for
Glennfie1d #5 & #6 with the City Attorney's approval.
Motion Carried: All Yea:
ITEM #7: REQUEST BY SANITARY SERVICE: TABLED AT LAST MEETING: & NEW TYPE TRASH COLLECTORS:
The Motion was made by Giesler and seconded by Tolsma to deny this request to move a
semi trailer to this location.
2 - Yea; 2 - Nay:
Hearing a tied vote, I will vote Yea:
Motion Denied:
Kingsford: Moe is getting new equipment and he is proposing to offer an option of these
larger garbage cans at an additional fee.
Alidjani: After some time we are in the process of getting 3 new trucks & three new
beds. These are new equipment that we are purchasing. We would like to propose to
the City of Meridian an option for the citizens of Meridian to have this automated system
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL

PAGE #4
proposed to you and if you approve it we would like to have that available
to our citizens. Explained the system and the cans. We have estimated our cost to
be about $3.00 a month above and beyond the regular fees on a voluntary basis.
Kingsford: What is the normal life of one of these?
Mr. Moore: Ten to fifteen years.
Alijani: Our company has given us 5 years limited guarantee with normal use.
Kingsford: You are proposing this as optional.
Alidjani: Totally optional.
Tolsma: Is this what Boise just got?
Alidjani: These are about a can and a half bigger.
They have a 75 Gallon container.
Kingsford: Would you propose a rotation program so that those would be cleaned out
or cleaned up in some fashion?
Alidjani: If they can take care of their can already then they can take care of these
also.
Kingsford: What is the cost of those per unit?
Alidjani: If we buy between 1-100, it's $68.00 a piece.
Discussion held on cans. (TAPE ON FILE)
Alidjani: The additional equipment for this would be $5,000.00 per unit. If you wish
to think about this its fine.
Crookston: If this is mandatory would it be so that that would be the only can you
would pick up from?
Alidjani: Yes. We really haven't looked that far ahead.
(Discussion)
ITEM #8: HART JENSEN, 'IDDAY OUTDOOR AVERTISING:
Jensen: The name of my company is Today Outdoor Advertising, I am the president. We
deal primarily deal with off premise bill-boards along the Interstate System within
the State of Idaho and the State of Oregon. I am going to propose two proposals to
the City, one would be a variance to construct three off premise 12x48 billboards on
1-84 east of the Meridian Kuna Interchange or two addendum to the existing ordinance
allowing premise advertising along with on premise advertising along the interstate
system.
Crookston: I'm not able to comment on this now. The sign ordinance is part of our
Zoning Ordinance which does provide for variances strictly prohibited, something I'd
have to look into.
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
APRIL 16, 1991
PAGE #5
Jensen: I'll go ahead with what lId like to present here. The proposed property we
are talking about is as I stated is east of the Meridian Kuna Interchange on the south
side of Interstate 84 on some property owned by Kip Decker who is in the process of
purchasing. He has set up a mobile home lot, sales lot within the City. This change
in the ordinance could be a hardship to Mr. Decker. These proposed units do meet all
the criteria as far as the Federal and State Sign Codes. If this proposal could be
accepted by the City, I would be willing to donate one face of this sign on a twelve
month period to the City advertising Meridian.I guess what I'm asking is if we could
make an addendum to the existing ordinance someway to allow off premise along with on
premise on the interstate.
Kingsford: This is certainly something that we will want to review.
Jensen: I understand that and I appreciate you taking the time for me.
Kingsford: I think the City Attorney should review this and make recommendation.
ITEM #9: RESOLUTION #137: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE DESTRUCTION OF CERTAIN RECORDS:
Kingsford: A Resolution by the City Council of the City of Meridian, Ada County, Idaho
authorizing the destruction of certain records as defined in 50-907 Idaho Code:
The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Myers to approve of Resolution #137:
Motion Carried: All Yea:
ITEM #10: ORDINANCE #550: ORDINANCE AMENDING THE PLUMBING CODE:
Kingsford: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MERIDIAN REPEALING SECTION 2-201 OF TITLE 2,

UNIFORM PLUMBING CODE OF THE EXCEPTION UNDER SECTION 203 (d) - USE OF COPPER TUBING;
AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Is there anyone from the public who wishes Ordinance
#550 read in its entirety? There was no response.

of 50-902 and all rules and provisions requiring that Ordinances be read on three different
days be dispensed with and that Ordinance #550 be passed and approved.

Eng. Smith: The rebuilding of Meridian Road at this time we are also going to construct
sewer and water lines in that roadway and to facilitate the construction of those lines
I have asked the Ada County Highway District for an agreement between the Cityof Meridian
and themselves whereby they would administer the construction of the sewer and water
lines as far as payment of the contractor is concerned also for the surveying required
to install the water & sewer lines and for testing for compaction of the materials placed
in the pipe trench. I have received a draft agreement. Basically they have a maximum
cost that they are attaching to this agreement of $2400.00. I do need the Mayor and
City Clerk to sign these documents.

program is. I don't have sufficient response to the questions that I had.
