Item 3.
Presentation and Discussion of the City Proposed Budget:
Corrie: We are now officially in the proposed budget hearings. Stacy.
Kilchenmann: Mayor and Members of the Council. To start the hearings off I
want to briefly run through the revenue projections for FY 04. We have numbers
for June in so I'm going to update you on what the General Fund is looking like.
Then if there are questions we can talk about this again tomorrow morning. So
just briefly I'm not going to spend a lot of time on the Enterprise Fund. There's
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17,2003

two the basic components the Water and the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Plus
we also have public review fees. As you know they changed the way, they
calculated water and wastewater rates last year and we discussed that last year.
Basically, if we look at the actual and projected utility revenue you can see it's
pretty much on a straight increase up and that's due to the increase in the
number of accounts and water has dropped below sewer, which was what Brad's
intention was. Assessment fees are basically the fees we use to build out line
and so forth and we charge a flat rate for that. The increase in those again is
due to the increase in the number of accounts because the actual rate charged
does not change. That's kind of a brief picture of enterprise fund revenue. We
just project that it will steadily increase. Latecomer's fees are a little hard to
predict so we predict them at a low flat rate. One thing that I did want to mention
with the enterprise revenue as I think its important that we start to pay a lot of
attention to the fee development and that we start to involve the Finance
Department a little more. Brad and I both worked on when he redid the fees last
time but I think it's important that we look at those every year basically because
they have a pretty aggressive capital construction that will take a lot of money.
As the city grows the faster, it grows some more of that, construction plan is
going to be impacted. I think we need to start paying attention to including the
cost of capital construction in our fee structure. We want to try to avoid
borrowing at all costs because borrowing has there is a cost just fees to do the
debt financing plus interest and so forth. That's something that we will probably
be talking about more in the coming year.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: Stacy on that I think you had mentioned something before about the
costs of borrowing and the interest. It doesn't quite look like the deal that it is. Is
there any way that you can put that on paper?
Kilchenmann: Yes in fact for the Police building it probably costs us over a
million dollars to finance it the way we did because we paid bond issuance costs.
Then we paid interest and plus we now are paying property tax because we don't
own the building. When I added it all up and I can put that on paper for you and
show you the components, it was a bout 1 .4 million additional costs to dot hat
type of financing. I think when you do the utility financing we wouldn't have to
pay property tax. It's just something if we can avoid I think we should try to
avoid. That I think will be an area that we haven't spent a lot of time on. There is
a capital construction plan in your notebooks for the enterprise fund and it
compares Public Works plan to what we've actually done so that's something
we'll probably be talking about a lot more in the upcoming year. On the special
services side just briefly its driven on permit revenue and that definitely is a bright
spot in our financial picture as you can see by looking at the growth in residential
permits 2003 actual continues to exceed the two prior years. Commercial

building permits they are up. They are hard to project so we pretty much project
a low flat rate for them because they are all over the up and down and all over
the board. That's just a look at Building and Planning and Zoning revenue. Now
we get to the General Fund and this is a summary and it's also in your revenue
manual. It breaks down property tax revenue into the basic property tax, the
amount from new construction and annexation. Then it gives a projection of the
levy rate. We've talked about this quite a bit. If we look at this on a graph that's
what the different components look like. New construction has stayed pretty
consistent with the base gradually going up that three percent. The other basic
components of our general fund the biggest one is revenue sharing. This one
has been hard to project its usually done by AIC, they do the projections.
There's a possibility that it could - it actually has exceeded what they projected
for the current year. That spending didn't drop off like it was predicted to. We
are going to get to this other worksheet and I'll talk about that a little bit. It could
potentially be about 75,000 dollars less this coming year then AIC projected. The
other one, court revenue, has actually decreased. It could be about 15,000
dollars short of what we had predicted it would be for FY 2004. Another big area
are the utility franchise agreements, which are Idaho Power, Intermountain Gas,
Cable and Sanitary Services. This one has been really hard to predict because it
depends on rate changes it depends on the weather. Cable depends on the
competition and how their sales do. We try to call ahead and talk to them and
figure out what its going to be and it actually has dropped this year over the last
year for the past maybe three or four years it just showed a steady increase and
now this year its fallen off as rates have gone down, we had a mild winter. When
we get to the final sheet, I have revised the projections to downward to be even
more conservative then I had originally had it. We just have to hope that rates go
up and we have a really cold winter.
De Weerd: That's out of our pocket.
Kilchenmann: But you'll be glad that you are helping the city out. Then our other
bug-a-boo is interest income. This is kind of a summary of that you see in your
financial statements of where interest income has gone. One bright spot was this
in June the pool went up quite a bit, itwent u p to like 3.73 percent so if that
continues that would be great. That would really help us. Apparently, there is
talk of them lowering interest rates again which would not be good. When we get
to this other sheet, I have revised interest income down slightly. This impacts the
enterprise fund too because they have a fairly high amount of interest income so
this is going to impact them as well as the general fund. This just kind of shows
the two sources of income property tax and non property tax revenue. Non
property tax revenue stays fairly stagnant, it doesn't really increase very much.
Now that's the chart that we look at that shows how much of our revenue that is
taken up by the base budget. Restrictive revenue that little red spot on the top
those are park impact fees. The yellow is the revenue that we have left for new
programs, new people. On the other sheet that I gave you its just like an excel
spreadsheet. It says FY 04 revenue analysis compared to actual June 30, 2003.
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 4 of 90
I've taken the basic categories of general fund income and I look at this every
quarter and change the estimate depending on any indicators or actual and so
forth. I have highlighted on Rural Fire the budget for 2004 we actually, we were
able to increase it over what I had initially have when I first did the revenue
manual. Kenny has warned us that the percentage that rural fire is going to pay
is actually going to drop a percent to 25 percent versus 26 percent. The 895,000
is taking Kenny's actual base with his new firefighters in it and that would be 25
percent. Then interest has been revised downward again so I have it at 300,000
and then the franchise fees I revised downward. When I totaled it up to what I
had originally projected in the revenue manual and based on the latest figures
there is only a difference of four or five thousand dollars. It didn't change
significantly because we were able to increase the amount contributed from the
rural fire. As we go through our discussions and so forth today and you have a
chance maybe to look through these materials more, if there are any more
questions we can address those first thing tomorrow morning. I just wanted to
kind of give you a basic idea as you listen to the presentations what the revenue
picture looks like. Are there any questions right now?
Corrie: Don't have a question but I hope is not a business decision. I hope that
we have the money but sometimes its not there.
Kilchenmann: I've tried to be very conservative.
Corrie: You are thank you.
Kilchenmann: If things turn around we always have the opportunity to re-Iook at
this during the next fiscal year. Okay then, I will turn it over to the Police
Department.
POLICE DEPARTMENT
(Inaudible discussion)
Worley: Mayor and members of the Council. Thank you for the opportunity to
present the 2004 budget for the Meridian Police Department. Since Chief
Musser is going to have to live with this budget I'm going to let him present it.
Nary: Hey thanks for stopping by Mike.
Musser: Well good morning and thank you for inviting us. What we are going to
start off with today is just basically run through where we are at with our initial
enhancements that we put in and then of course into the Mayor's priorities and
then line out some strategies that we've developed in conjunction with the budget
proposal. First things that we are looking at doing is with gearing in where we
are at with the Police Department we are doing our budget so that we focus
towards our mission statement in particular our last items on there through our
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 5 of 90
education prevention and enforcement activates that are continually ongoing
within a department in order to meet our strategic plan and fall into compliance
with the cities strategic plan as well. Capital replacement to get that one out of
the way. We started with 136,000 dollars basically only to replace four marked
units at a total of 34,000 dollars a piece and that's all we have slated for this year
on it trying to hold the line a little bit but we do have four units that are due for
that area that's between 85,000 to 90,000 three of those are pushing the 90,000
or at least two of them have exceed it all ready at this point but they'll be well
within the confine by October one. Moving on to our enhancement requests. We
submitted a total of seven requests, which totaled up to 722,913 dollars. In
meeting with accounting Stacy and Reta and going over some of that, we were
able to delete some of the miscellaneous off as we were moving through and
looking at what we can potentially work on within this current budget year. We
were able to drop that down a little bit for the final submittal that went in for the
Mayor's review. As a result, with the Mayor's priorities on it, this is pretty much
what happened with what we were looking at and our first and second priorities
remained in tack bringing us down to a grand total of 367,388 dollars. Those first
two priorities has we move into of course are personnel ones that deal with six
police officers we are looking at three of those plus a car for a full year so they
would be coming in in October and then three again following in April at the half
year point within the fiscal year to provide us a little bit of savings and also to
allow us access to be able to get the officers up and trained through the year and
then out into the field. As we move into that for explanations on where we are at
with the first one we are looking at October of 03 for being able to implement this.
It would be three officers with one car, which is the standard we have been trying
to make the approach on when we are hiring. If we have three officers we do like
to request a car within that packet so that we are able to spread it out a little bit
more on the vehicle usages. Again the strategic planning issues that we are
addressing within this is again compliant with adequate staffing for our growing
city trying to impact crime rates and the traffic issues that we have and also this
is the third year that we have been requesting for additional patrol people in
particular on this and we feel very confident that we need it at this point and
that's why we had those listed as number one and two on our priorities and we
were very happy with the Mayor concurring with us on that on his priorities. The
second one we have here is a follow up. This is the half year one which we had
looked to implement in April of 04 so half way through the fiscal year which does
drop us down to an expenditure of 148,490 dollars and again three officers for
one car and again with the same strategic plan issues being addressed within
those confines. One thing that this will do for us in terms of patrol out on the
field, the six officers will augment each one of the squads and we have basically
two full teams a weekend team and a weekday team comprised of squads that
work each one of the shifts a day shift a swing shift and a graveyard shift. These
six officers would allow us to put one officer additional for each one of those
squads so everybody gets one officer on each one of those shifts to be able to
increase our overall coverage's in the town. Priority Number 3 was a school
resource officer for Mountain View High School. Initially we were looking at
Meridian City Council SpecIal Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 6 of 90
76,335 dollars on that. One of the items that we were looking at on that again is
manpower related to investigations, remaining proactive in our policing programs.
Our SRO program has been a very good proactive program, a very collative
program as well with the school district and as you all know we do have that new
large high school coming online out there at Millennium and South Locust Grove
area off of Overland. In meeting with the school district their also concerned they
are facing the same type of budget crunch as we are and they didn't feel that
they could include this within their contract this year which lead us to look at
some alternatives and we do have an alternative to be able to propose today and
that alternative encompasses only using 17,305 dollars. That's what we would
need to set aside in order to do alternative funding through our cops in school
grant which we've already made an application for and which we have brought
before this Council in order to get authorization for the Mayor to sign on that
application. We did have that application go in we are waiting for award notice
on that. We probably won't know until sometime around October which is why
we are presenting this as an alternative. It would be a total of 125,000 dollars
from the Federal Government over the next three years. It would take a
commitment on our end of it to at least 17,305 dollars available should we
receive t he award. That's why we are putting it u P here now because wed 0
have the potential to get that and we should be in pretty good shape to continue
this program and add to the school by putting another body in. We have
discussed this with the school district as well and the school district is more then
willing to continue our partnership at the end of the three years where in the
fourth year we have to assume this officer and the school district believes that
they will be in a better position at that time to be able to absorb it within their
contract as well.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: If I could ask. Bill I don't know how we could open that school without an
SRO over there. I just absolutely don't know how and this alternative plan if it'll
work its fine if not I don't know how we are going to dig up the 76,000 but we can
not open that school without an SRO officer over there. I feel those are some of
the most important people we got in this department because of the relationship
they get with the kids and stuff over there. I mean this is a nice big high school
coming on board and everything and to be without a SRO. Somehow we've got
to get that in and get it taken care of and this alternative plan is a good one but
we better have something back up to make sure that we do have an officer over
there. That's my personal feelings.
Musser: M r. Mayor. Councilman Bird, members 0 f the C ounci!. I appreciate
those sentiments and believe me we are in a position where we can pull up our
bootstraps if needed and Mountain View High School will be covered. However
in an attempt to put us in a better position if we can, that's why we did apply for
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 7 of 90
the grant. We did want to point that you know this is a significant savings if we
get the grant award. I do feel fairly confident that we maybe able to do that
because we have an excellent track history with the cops program for the eight
officers that we brought on in prior years. The only problem is I can't give you an
answer as to the absoluteness on that award at this point. We probably won't
know until October possibly even after. One of the things we were looking at for
being able to set this aside though. In discussions with Chief Worley and looking
at where we were at. We've had a part time crime prevention position, which
was approximately 19,000. We haven't been able to fill that position we do have
some alternatives in regards to that one that will be coming up shortly but there is
some money available from that position which could be reallocated and set
aside within this budget if necessary 0 nit. However 0 ne 0 f the things I went
through and was looking at when I was reviewing the current salary settings and
placements on that it appeared that we no longer had that within the salary
placement so I don't know if that was an adjustment by finance or not because
the position hasn't been filled for two years. That was one thing that we were
looking at where we had potential monies in the base that might be set aside say
in the Mayors budget as an administrative one, which we would have it, available
then. It could be reallocated at the end of the year as we amend budgets and it
could specifically go towards this but that would be the Council's choice.
Bird: I just feel that we've got to open that school with a SRO out there.
Musser: We do have a plan, they will have a SRO come August. I believe its
August 14th when we initiate the SRO contracts back in there. There will be a
body at the school Council member.
Bird: Thank you Captain.
Corrie: Yeah Bill one of our jobs is going to have to be to convince the school
that they do need that and they better really look hard at it. I know that we
discussed at how we could cover it but we want to make sure that the school is
on board with that.
Musser: At this point based 0 n our negotiations we have had with them and
talking with them on the contract. They feel that there wouldn't be a problem at
the end of the three years being able to commit so we can retain this person and
it would become part of the contract. We are all facing some of those financial
woes right now.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I agree with what Councilman Bird has s aid. I was a t a meeting
yesterday, it was regarding The Boy's and Girl's Club, one of your officers has
Meridian City Council Specli:ll Budget Workshop
July 17,2003
Page 8 of 90
been hanging out at The Boy's and Girl's Club on a regular basis, they only know
him by Gary, and so I have my suspicion who that is. Apparently and the reason
for this story is to underscore the importance of having the officers in these
schools is the relationships that he has made at The Boys and Girls Club while
he's out on patrol now the kids recognize him and call after him. He has a
different level of respect with these kids, that are so important, and merely those
are the ages that are important to reach the kids. The presence in our schools
has got to be one of our priorities and I appreciate your department looking at
how we can make it happen because it is vital. It is a crime prevention type of
thing. I guess it's very important also looking at your crime prevention money as
maybe supplementing some of this. I think we all appreciate your concentration
on making this happen because it ahs to be one of our priorities.
Musser: Mr. Mayor, Councilwoman De Weerd, members of the Council. I
appreciate those sentiments and that is part of our goal. Like [ said at the
beginning we take our mission statement very much to heart at the department
and you can't do it all through enforcement. It also takes us being proactive and
moving out into that community to do some educational type things and do some
direct interaction and hopefully here as you move into priority four we'll have
some more for you in lines for that.
De Weerd: Just to wrap that up, do you know who this Gary is?
Musser: I believe I do. I only know of one Gary that we have and I'm sure he
probably has a dog along with him.
De Weerd: I am assuming so too but if you will please pass along the
appreciation and that its been noted publicly in the community because it did
come up at a meeting yesterday of the appreciation of The Boy's and Girl's Club
for as well Kenny for Scotty and his crew they hang out there too. I think its just
phenomenal, what a great statement your departments are making to those
youth.
Musser: I will pass that on for you Councilwoman De Weerd.
Nary: She meant hanging out in a good way I think.
Corrie: Yes. Also, tell him good luck this week.
Musser: Moving along to priority number four, this is one where we had initially
submitted in for a Crime Prevention Specialist and Public Information Officer.
We wanted to move the Crime Prevention Specialist position to a full time one
and also incorporate Public Information Officer functions with that position to
justify that full time aspect. As a result it included 64,998 dollars most of which
was salary related and benefits. There was a portion that was related directly to
operating costs and some associated capital. What we were looking to do with
Meridian City Council Specldl Budget Workshop
July 17,2003
Page 9 of 90
that is continue in our bridge building within the community, something that we've
been working to do for the last two years but with the part time position we
haven't quite got to the point we needed. We've had a number of applicants,
we've looked those applicants over and to be quite honest they weren't the
people that we needed in order to represent the community of Meridian. There
were some issues and after discussion in sitting down and looking this over part
of what we were seeing that may be problematic with the part time position was
just that it was part time. Therefore we went getting as good of an applicant pull
submitting in for that position so we were going to make an attempt here to go full
time on this. Then coupling in the Crime Prevention along with Public
I nformation it allows us to disseminate better reports and that type of thing and
get thing out to the community so we can enhance our partnerships. Again, the
strategic planning issues its non-traditional staffing and also research and
development of planning. As I just noted there this is a move from the part time
position to a full time one. Based upon the 19,000 we had currently approved in
FY 03 the overall increase would actually be about 45,998 dollars. However, this
was not one of the chosen ones on the Mayors priority so we have also provided
an alternative on this one. On this one, we are looking to do two full time
positions, the Crime Prevention Specialist position full time and then also a new
elementary school resource officer and this is part of what we refer to as the PSN
grant. This is the Projects Safe Neighborhoods grant, which I presented to you
at a Council session. I think this figure right here speaks highly of what we are
able to do with the monies available here. This would cost the city 5,900 dollars
investment for this first year on this grant. What we are looking at here on it is
that we do have the Projects Safe neighborhoods grant. We did receive an
award, which has been accepted by the city as authorized by this Council, that
total amount for the next two years is 256,500 dollars. The grant is like I said for
two years, we currently have 127,422 dollars budgeted on our outline to the state
for how we were looking to spend this in FY 04. That leaves us a remainder for
next of 129,079 dollars for use in Fiscal 05. The grant proposal would allow for
the full time crime prevention - I'm sorry.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: Bill just a question. When we received this grant has those monies
already been included in the revenue projections?
Musser: No.
De Weerd: Okay, I just wanted to verify that. Thank you.
Musser: Your welcome.
De Weerd: Sorry.
Meridian City Council Specl<l1 Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 10 of90
Musser: And again to reiterate full time crime prevention position along with the
full time elementary school resource officer on that. The needed allocation of the
needed 5,900 dollars from the city is for expenses not covered by the grant. In
particular reference the officer we have expenditures such as uniform, belt, the
holster, hand gun, those types of things. They don't cover those out of these
types of grants so we would have to look at that. They also don't cover direct
overtime. However, they will pay the benefits towards it but they won't pay the
direct overtime. Those were the costs included in that 5,900 basically
equipment, uniform, allowance and direct overtime. Before I move on with that
one also in conjunction with that Safe Neighborhoods Grant just to give the
Council and the Mayor an update here on it. We did have a meeting last week in
which we were able to bring Saint Luke's Meridian to the table along with the
school district and BSU who is potentially doing some follow up review on this
program for us. We were all able to come in and everybody seems to be very
excited about the program and what we've initially outlined in our abstract and we
are keying it directly back into looking at our youth in particular the Elementary
and Middle School children. Incorporating classes that go into more then just
firearm safety but also awareness and expanding out what we do inside the
schools through that elementary school resource officer. Our Crime Prevention
person would also help coordinate through businesses and also through civic
groups in town here to help us to this. The Crime Prevention position will also be
involved with helping develop a curriculum that's acceptable to the school district
and incorporates what Saint Luke's is currently doing with some of their
programs so that we can get to a much wider target to a group of our youth. One
other aspect and I believe that they were probably tied up that day but The Boys
and Girls Club of Ada County is also excited about this because we plan on
continuing this educational format into the club itself here in town. However they
were tied up and weren't able to make it to the meeting but I have met with Curt a
number of times and he's very excited about the possibility here of having
additional officers become involved down at The Boy's and Girl's Club as well.
So this is another community outreach program that we're really excited about
that brings in a whole lot more partnering between some major components in
the city. These are some other items that we had. Priority number five was a
traffic emphasis personnel enhancement. We were also looking at replacing
motorcycles at this time. The motorcycles can probably survive another year and
I notice we do have them projected out for replacement for next year so these
147,490 dollars was to specifically address traffic issues and also to help us meet
variance in our objectives from FY 03 in relations to the strategic plan. We do
have three officers now assigned to the traffic squad and they have become very
active in doing a number of things in town besides enforcement and we've had a
lot of collaborative efforts between Ada County, Idaho State Police, Boise Police
working a number of different types of traffic task force. Such as on the Fourth of
July we had a combined DUI taskforce going again for holiday driving under the
influence and we've also done a number of corridor traffic enforcement activities
along Fairview down on Eagle Road all the way through on the corridor there at
Eagle Road and also in conjunction with the interstate. It has been fairly
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 11 of 90
successful and our officers even helped Ada County with Highway 16 on the way
up to Emmett because there has been a lot of speeding, accident problems up
there on that roadway as well. It has been paying off I think overall for us.
Priority number six an additional personnel enhancement for reserve police
officers we were looking to increase reserve officers by four on the department
we currently have six. However we also had to look at the issue of equipment for
those officers. W here they are not paid we do provide the uniforms and the
handguns and that type of stuff to them and that would cost us 18,780 dollars. At
this time the reserve officers are the only officers that are not issued a
department issue handgun. We took care of all the other officers. They do carry
similar handguns to what we have. They all carry glocks but what we were
looking to do was issue them a department handgun as well rather then a
privately owned. This also was a result of a numerous contacts both Chief
Worley and I have had reference people wanting to become involved in our
program so we were looking to increase it to a base of 10. It does have costs
associated with it.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: Can you tell us on your reserves what kind of impact they have?
What kind of duties they perform and what kind of impact they have on your
staffing?
Musser: Mr. Mayor, Councilwoman De Weerd and members of the Council.
One of the biggest things that our reserves are able to help us out with was right
at the beginning of the year when we had two very tragic episodes in town here
that involved first a homicide suicide and then another homicide. We had to
contain scenes, which meant we had to be able to control them utilizing officers
to do that. Our reserves became very valuable for having somebody in uniform
with authority that was there to be able to control the scenes while at the same
time keeping our overall overtime costs down a little bit because as you all know
during t hat period wed id have a lot of 0 fficers 0 ut. We had a I at 0 f ongoing
expenses related to overtime but we were able to utilize our reserves to help us
out with securing those scenes. In past years they have also performed that
function with us. On parade days because of the amount of traffic we have in
town the need for doing traffic control and also doing crowd control. The
reserves are an iatrical part in being able to help us out with that. They provide
us additional manpower on those days. Again it helps reduce some of the
overtime and they become involved with it. All of our reserves we encourage to
attain their level one reserve certification. We do make available for them
attendance at the southwest Idaho reserve academy which one of our reserves
at this point Craig Rohm is a coordinator over at Post 4. By helping, them do that
and providing some of the funding that's needed there in making our officers
available that makes them that much more trained for us as well. I'd say
Meridian City Council SpecIal Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 12 of 90
probably the biggest thing though to help augment us at times when we need two
officers in the cars on nights when staffing may be a little bit low. They are out
here on the weekends to help us out so that we have two people in the car so
that we have a car that can respond just as a single unit with two people in it to
say a domestic call or something like that and it doesn't take two cars out of the
field then. We do have a back up in that manner. However with the growth and
everything else that we've been experiencing and need to put officers on they do
occasionally get bumped because we are busy also trying to run a number of
officers through our field training program right now. These gentlemen bend over
backwards they don't receive any compensation whatsoever they willing come in
when we need them and when we call them as we did at the first of the year.
They adjust their schedules to be able to cover a sitting for a whole night out in
front of a house without much of anything else to do except just keep an eye on
things for us and make sure that things stay secure. They are dedicated citizens
and the only way I could really compare them it's the same as our citizens that
are in the National Guard that voluntarily give up their weekends and part of their
summer to be of service to their country. These gentlemen are being of service
to their community through the Police Department.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Corrie: Bill. I came from Boulder who had reserve officers. They had 125
officers but they got paid when they worked but they didn't get their uniforms paid
for or their guns. They did all that on their own. They did get paid when they
came to work or fill in. Have you looked at that as a possibility rather then giving
them all their equipment and that to let them be paid? Because an officer would
have to be doing that if they weren't there and you would have to charge for that
and looking at it another way can they get paid by the people that's asking that or
what they need for that. It's an idea but it would be less cost but yet they would
still be being paid for what they were doing and you can kind of get a trade off
here. I don't know, we can talk about that a little later but it really worked well
back there and the merchants and the people didn't mind paying for that and it
would also help augment their uniforms and their time that they put into it. Just a
thought that you might want to look at it that way. There's lots of different ways
to look at reserve officers so.
Musser: Mr. Mayor members of the Council. We have looked at the option of
being able to provide them some payment. Garden City for example utilizes their
reserves as part time employees and they are able to pay them when they need
the additional staffing and all. However given where we are at with some of the
budget crunches that becomes a question for us as to where do we get the
additional monies when we need them and yes it may be less then the overall
equipment. However I don't have a good measure at this time but I certainly will
look at that so I can provide you an answer in the future.
Corrie: Okay. Thank you.
Meridian City Council Specldl Budget Workshop
July 17,2003
Page 13 of 90
Nary: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Bill I guess I should ask when you talked about capital improvements and
the vehicle replacements. You said three of the vehicles were near the 90,000
mark. I'm assuming that's the 97 and the two 98 vehicles. I just didn't know
where the 2000 vehicle was since it's in the replacements as well.
Musser: Mr. Mayor and Council member Nary, members of the Council. I would
have to double-check those figures again. I know two of the vehicles were ones
that we've kept on for an extended period because they were assigned to one
officer, they were both canine vehicles and that's why their mileage got up and
we were able to run them a little bit longer. One of the 2000's and I believe it
was a 2000 came on and has been running around the clock until we got other
vehicles on so it picked up a lot of usage when it first came on that it started to
slow down a little bit. I didn't grab the current figures on it because I didn't go in
to the station this morning but I will get that information over to you because we
do track that on a monthly basis now an update where the mileage is on those
cars.
Nary: Thank you.
Musser: Priority Number 7 was a miscellaneous grouping of items for us. It
included LCD monitors for records. We were looking about 2,400 dollars on that.
However we have found some means to be able to get most of this taken care of
at this point for us. We were also looking at record storage in our record section.
We do need another center shelving storage unit to purchase and put in there.
That's going to cost us 3,817 dollars for that unit and get (inaudible) but would
allow us to keep our three years of reports available there within as we rotate
them through. At this point we are going to fill up the current shelving units that
we have. An additional one we were looking at involved building security both
perimeter within the temporary holding facility or the holding cells down at the
Police Department. That is going to be 28,675 dollars, a majority of that cost
over 13,000 of it is related just to the multi-port digital recorder that's necessary
for all the different camera hookups. That's the single most pricey item within
that whole project and something we will have to evaluate as we move down the
road. Another issue we were looking at is also trying to reduce overall liability of
the city by having the officers record all of their stops and contacts. We were
looking at what Boise City did with conjunction with their-
***End Of Side One***
Musser: - and because micro cassette recorders have a tendency to break down
and with the advent of digital recorders we are also finding that there are not very
Meridian City Council SpecIal Budget Workshop
July 17,2003
Page 14 of 90
many people making micro cassette's anymore, the individual cassettes
themselves. We were looking at being able to purchase and issue out to all of
the officers a digital recorder along with an extra memory stick so that they had
one that they could use, pull it out if something happened have another one to be
able to go with. These would download directly right into our computer system at
the station and we could record these out, make copies of them right to a CD,
rather then have to continue to have to transcribe tapes and remain with bulky
tapes and that type of stuff. We can go right to modern technology and get them
done a heck of a lot faster then what we do now. However in looking at where
we are at with it we were able to say that you know we can fix this one here with
the monitors, that ones in process right now and we think we maybe successful
in going ahead and completing what we were looking at there. Our records
personnel were the key issue in order to provide them some eye relief by using
the LCD monitors. The building security with the cost overall associated with it,
that's another one that we were looking at. As much as we would like to have it
bottom line is the majority of the cost is going to be the unit itself right now so it
would take a commitment in order to get it. We could do it in phases if need be
but buying the recorder and then hooking up primarily the holding cells number
one so that we can videotape when the officers are in there with a person for
utilization of the intoxilizer in there. [t provides them a little sense of security
when they are in there by themselves with a prisoner. Then expand that one out
later. The digital recording system didn't make it to the priority list as well either
when we received the paperwork back from the Mayor on it though we all did
concur that it would probably be a strong liability issue but it does take 13,000
dollars to commit to that. The only one then we have left is that we would like to
consider or have strong consideration on is the shelving unit for records in
particular because there is a definite need for it they will have to have it in this
next fiscal year and it is 3,817 dollars, probably one of the cheaper ones that we
had submitted overall. As a result, our revised proposed budget for FY 04 for the
Police Department consists of priority, one and two which is the six officers
equipment and vehicles for 367,388 dollars. Priority 3 is an alternative was the
Cops in Schools grant in particular the SRO for out at Mountain View High
School which would need a funding set aside incase we get that grant award of
17,305 dollars. Priority number four again an alternative provides us two
positions from the Project Safe Neighborhoods Grant, there would be one
elementary school resource officer and still provide us that full time Crime
Prevention position with a commitment of 5,900 dollars from the city. Priority
Number 5, the records storage cabinet for 3,817 dollars which would bring the
overall budget proposal from the Police Department to 394,410 dollars. I did go
back and gage this in against the revised budget information and numbers that
we did receive from accounting and I did notice while we do not have a whole lot
to play with or anything else there was approximately a projected 58,000 that we
might have. I tried to keep us within the confines of that by still not trying to jump
on everything there, utilize it, and then also find additional alternatives such as
potentially that past Crime Prevention position as potential funding that may have
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 15 of 90
been out of place that we could utilize as well. I would stand for any questions
from the Council at this point.
Corrie: Weill want to commend you and the chief and your department for what
you've done here. You realize that you've cut out 300,000 dollars about out of
your budget and I commend you for that. I know it's very hard, it's difficult but I
think you've done a real good job here and what you've asked for is really
definitely what you really need. Not that you didn't the first time but I do want to
commend you and your department for doing that and you did exactly what I
wanted you to do. Go back and look at it so you did a good job.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Musser: Thank you.
Bird: I think the whole Council will like all those sentiment for a job well done.
You guys have been first class the last couple years of realizing what the city
situation is and this is all departments have done it I believe that everybody has
tightened their belts and worked cooperatively and get this thing taken care of
and we certainly do appreciate it. You do a lot of the work for us that we would
have to do it and by your priorities and alternatives and all that stuff working out I
think really helps and I think the Mayor and Council's very appreciative of what
you guys are doing and -
Musser: Mr. Mayor, Councilman Bird, members of the Council. Thank you very
much for your comments and I would just like to mirror that I felt it was very
worthwhile for us to be able to sit down and meet with the Mayor to have the
Mayor establish our priorities and lay them out and then see what we can do be
able to provide alternatives and t his year I'll be quite honest we've been very
fortunate in particular with the Project Safe Neighborhoods Grant which was a
very last minute thing and we receive the only award for a law enforcement
agency off that grant and things just fell together pretty well for us.
Corrie: Thank you Bill. Very nice presentation. Chief you are leaving good
hands there.
Worley: I think so.
De Weerd: Do we want to take a few minute breaks?
Corrie: Chief I also might commend you for being the one helping Bill in doing
this. You've done a lot for our department the last two years. Thank you. Yes
lets take that break.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
Corrie: Chief Kenny Bowers, Fire Department.
Bowers: Thank you. Mayor Corrie and Council Members. We were talking
about the Boys and Girls Club and I think kids like Scotty, BZ, and Drew just kind
of come together down there. They all run in the same pack I think. It's working
real well. I hope you've received some of those thank you's in your boxes and
stuff. A little bit of recognition for them. I really appreciate what you guys are
saying.
Corrie: Kenny I might add that when I go down there. Every time there seems to
be more and more kids that want to be Police and Firemen and I think the Fire
Department has the edge right now. Thank you guys.
Bowers: That's good because we need that for the future. We do. It's going to
work out good. Mayor Corrie and City Council members I appreciate you inviting
us here today to present our budget request for the year 2004. As you know it's
been a very busy year. Councilman Bird kind of gave us a bad time last year
about not having PowerPoint so we are going to try that this year. I already went
backwards twice with it so we are learning. Our Number 1 enhancement was a
thermal imager and in the past, the public has helped us out tremendously with
the prices on these thermal-im,aging units. In the last several years, the Meridian
Firefighters Association has helped us out. So far this year the Meridian
Firefighters association has decided to put all their monies towards the safe
house that we are moving over to the school. We thought this would be a very
good enhancement for the city and the Rural to purchase one. These are the
units that we use on an everyday shift. I mean we go out to homes that have hot
wires or hot walls, hot plug ins. We were able to zone in on the correct wire or
the correct plug in without tearing the whole wall out. We can go into commercial
businesses and check which balance is bad without taking down every light and
looking at the balances. We've also used it in the past as grass fires going out
after we've thought we had the grass fire out. We go around the perimeter with
this to see if there are any hot spots still. We believe that each station should
have one. It cuts down on the time that a fire crew has to be on a location. Also
where they come into account the most of is assist with search and rescue,
finding victims. Several years ago as you heard Caldwell Fire was able to go
down in the basement and pull a person out of a fire there. They work
tremendously. They really show the heat from a body, from a hand, from a foot.
That is the most important part of this unit here. We use it daily, I mean it is an
important tool for us, right along with a defib. It is a very important tool. The cost
of that was 12,000 dollars. They have come down from 25,000 when they first
come out so they are getting a little better in price. Our next enhancement was
our new fire engine for fire station number three. The engine that we have now
in back up 304. That picture right there is 11 years old. It has somewhere
around 86,000 miles on it. As the age increases in vehicles the maintenance
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 17 of 90
cost goes up. The down time of the trucks, taking them to Boise to repair and
work on them increases. This is going to be a - station three is going to be a
very important part of our district. It's going to run 0 n m any calls, so we are
going to need a first-rate engine out there that will withstand the riggers of the
calls. If we do not purchase a new engine this year we will have to approach you
guys next year which then it will be a year and a half before we get it on scene.
Also, we would only have one backup reserve engine so if anything happens and
we have an engine go down with a problem we would be able to fill that position
but we wouldn't have any other extra trucks. Councilperson de Weerd and
myself, we believe we heard some good news Monday night from the Meridian
Rural Fire Protection District that if things go has good as it has with the new fire
station three they would be able to put in their 24 or 25 percent of this engine.
That would be around 90,000 dollars. I believe that's what both of us heard the
other night and I think they are probably going to be able to back that up.
De Weerd: We have it on tape.
Bowers: We have it on tape, correct. That would help us out tremendously too.
Our next enhancement and we didn't have a picture of an office. We should
have had Greta or somebody sitting in an office. Anyhow, we would like to bring
in a part time office assistant. Able to fill in for vacation time, able to fill in for sick
time when Greta is gone. Four hours a day turns out to be 19 and a half hours a
week. The ability to have current assistant work on more details. We would be
able to have a little bit more help on our projects. We wouldn't have to pay a little
bit of overtime when we have a big project come up and we need Greta to stay
afterwards. That would be able to help us out in that and we still haven't slowed
down much on the transmittals from Planning and Zoning and the City Clerk's
office. It hasn't slowed down much so we are trying to get a person to help us
out in t his area and to d 0 purchase 0 rders for u s. Th is would be a part time
position 8,544 dollars. If I could go back to the fire truck, that 380,000 was truck
and equipment. The truck we just learned several weeks ago, diesels now have
to come out with emission check system on them now for the emission, which will
cost 10,000 dollars per diesel truck now. That will put the price up 10,000 more
dollars just for the emission stuff. That's scary. Our next enhancement, mobile
data terminals. This is basically a laptop like you guys got in front of you that sits
in our Captain's position of our fire engines. We get information from dispatch of
the address, what type of call it is, where we are going, and a map section. In
the past Ada County Sheriff's Office has owned these and divvied them out to
each department. They will not be doing that anymore. We will have to start
replacing our old units that are starting to become unreliable from all the
bouncing that they get in the fire trucks. The new units that we would be looking
at, Terry Paternoster believes that we will have better performance with the new
ones. We will be able to put maps that we can pull up a map on our MDT's. We
will be able to program when a bridge is out or when a road is closed, we can
program that right into the computer to pop up as we get into the truck and head
to that direction. The cost for two of them would be 7,500 dollars.

Corrie: Kenny would the money that you got the other terminals from the
dispatch, do they come under the title 31 money?
Bowers: Yes they sure did.
Corrie: Why are they not doing it again with title 31 money? I'm on the ECAB
board and I asked that question and nobody seemed to know. Maybe you guys
might know this because I'm going to fight for them to give each one of those fire
trucks and the Police as well out of that title 31 money because it's from the
government and we should be able to use it. I don't know can you tell me?
Bowers: I cannot Mayor Corrie at t his time and Council. Let mea sk Deputy
Chief Johnson to see if he knew.
Johnson: The report to us at PSCB which is the Public Safety Communications
Board the user board from the Sheriffs office was it was just getting too costly to
take out title 31 dollars and continue to do the upgrades to the communications
system, such as the new radios that they put in. The updated CAD system, we
took a pretty good hit when we went to New World and then back to PSI. So
some of that cost, and that was a proposal that came out of the Sheriff's Office
directly driven by the Sheriff's financial folks. They just went to PSCB and says
we aren't going to do this.
Nary: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: My understanding, its been for awhile now that has been - it was a policy
change by the Sheriff's office has well as - before the board configuration has
changed a couple of times it was just a policy choice of basically they paid the
initial cost. Then they've only done the replacements or the replacements have
been done by the cities now. Certainly, that's something that can be revisited.
Corrie: Yes I've been talking with the County Commissioners and they are also
asking the same question. Why? Whose decision was ita nd it wasn't really
exactly - they've changed people too but they are looking at that possibility but
we still need to look at it here in case they don't.
Bowers: Thank you.
Corrie: Thank you Kenny.
Bowers: Our next enhancement is opticom. Basically, it continues to upgrade
the traffic signals in Meridian. This gives the green light to the Meridian Fire
Department apparatus when responding to alarms to improve the safety for the
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 19 of 90
citizens and the firefighters. We are looking at two intersections, and the cost
would be right around 9,000 dollars.
Nary: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Bowers: And I just got call from Ada County Highway District yesterday saying
they are going to do two more intersections this next two months. I didn't know
anything about, Overland and 5th and Overland and the school.
Nary: Chief I was going to ask on one of these enhancements here is Franklin
and Locust Grove and I didn't know if that intersection - is that going to get built
in 2004?
Corrie: We think so.
Nary: I guess I was thinking that it went with the extension of Locust Grove north
before they would rebuild that whole intersection.
Bird: No that's part of the Franklin Road widening deal.
Nary: Okay.
Bowers: Yes. Mayor Corrie and City Council members, Councilman Bill Nary. I
believe that' supposed to be this year, I mean this coming year when they come
in and start moving the bridges, the canals, the ditches. Just kind of put that
intersection in.
Corrie: Kenny are they going to wire it and everything and ready to put out to
come in, right?
Bowers: Yes.
Corrie: So that 9,000 dollars is just the opticom (inaudible)?
Bowers: Yes.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: You need that. Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: Kenny there are continuing talks right now at the chiefs level isn't
there about the costs of opticom and how that cost is distributed?
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17,2003
Page 20 of 90
Bowers: Correct. Mayor Corrie, City Council members and Councilperson De
Weerd. Weare getting very concerned, the fire departments in the area are
getting concerned that we are having to pay for all the opticom in the
intersections where we believe that should go under Ada County Highway District
when they put in an intersection. Ada County Highway District's concern is they
are only into moving traffic, they are not into stopping traffic or helping fire
departments get through intersections. That's what their biggest concern is they
want to keep the traffic moving. We have. The Fire Chief's Association has got
together with Ada County EMS and we are sending letters to Mayors, City
Councils, Ada County Commissioners, everybody that basically has anything to
do with intersections and trying to plead to them with our concerns of why we
have to put the monies up for this. There are some talk and you guys will
probably be seeing that in the near future, these letters that we will be writing to
you guys.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I guess just to circumvent the need to write our own city. Hopefully
maybe we can take a little bit of a proactive approach on this. About the opticom
also why is it that the City's continue to be the only ones that pay for the
installation. Since its also utilized by the EMS the you know - yes. So that
would be another one. Kenny if you can come up with a suggestion on what you
would like to see the Mayor and City Council do in response in letter writing, what
the Mayor can do on the various boards that he sits on to be an advocate for this.
We certainly can do it because it needs to change.
Bowers: Thank you. I really appreciate it. Yes it does. We've even discussed
to Ada County Commissioners on how we could pass this cost on to some of the
developers again. There we go again another addition to a permit but you know
there's got to be some other way of paying for these and we keep shelling it out
every year.
Corrie: The EMS Board is in conjunction with the City's. They would like to see
the County Commissioners pay for some of that. However they are in the hole
too. So-
Bowers: Exactly.
Corrie: They are in between a rock and a hard place. That board is making the
recommendation to the County Commissioners do pay for some of that through
EMS funds.
Bowers: I'm not sure how it worked out in the Boise City. They just updated their
lights downtown, I believe it cost them over a million dollars for opticom. I don't
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17,2003
Page 21 of 90
know if that was all funded by Boise City. I'm sure it probably was. There's got
to be some other way to do this. Thank you. Oh and Councilman Nary. One of
those intersections there, the 1-84 and Eagle eastbound, we've already done that
one. That one sprung up on us a couple months ago. We will just put another
intersection in there.
Corrie: Go ahead Kenny. I'm sorry.
Bowers: Electric key locks. Each building in our district that has a sprinkler
system or an alarm system in it, we have them put a knox box on their building.
What that is is a key that we get out of that little box right there on our dash, we
go to the building open up the knox box, get the key out and go inside the
business with Meridian PO not just by ourselves but with Meridian PO there. To
either shut off the alarm, to turn off the water if we've got a broken sprinkler head
before the RP gets there. Our concern is we are getting so many knox boxes in
our district because almost every building now has an alarm system or a
sprinkler system in it. That we would like to update our boxes to electronic box.
We realize that if we lose a knox box key out of our truck. We will have to go
around to every business in Meridian and recyclinder, rekey their box. These
electronic boxes will go in the truck. We will need to punch in a code that will tell
us what day and time it was opened up and there'll be a big blue light? Red light,
green light on top of this so that our people will know that it is open. We would
like to update this in our six engines at this time. Right now that box up there is
just a combination box lock. We don't know when it gets opened, we don't know
who opens it so we would like to update our knox box keys in our trucks.
Corrie: Kenny don't you have somebody that's in charge of that key box there
like a Captain or does everybody have access to that box?
Bowers: Every fireman has access to that box. Our first out trucks, the captains
are responsible for that box. Our backup, our reserve trucks, it could be a
volunteer, it could be a part time person that's taking the truck out. We want to
make sure that we do not lose a key anywhere.
Corrie: Okay. Thank you.
Bowers: Stacy and myself talked about this quite a bit of where we should put
this plan reviewer and inspection contract laborer. We didn't know if it would
need to go in to the base budget under contract laborer or put it in an
enhancement. We kind of decided that since this is kind of a new thing to us, it's
a pretty good chunk of money that we probably ought to bring it into the
enhancement and bring it for the Council. Right now we do have our Deputy
Chief which does all the planning's for all the buildings in the city and then the
Rural we would like to bring on a part time person or a contract laborer to do the
sprinkler systems and fire alarms for our district. Since there's being do many of
them at this time. We came to last year [ believe and asked for a fulltime position
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 22 of 90
on t his a nd we thought that t here would be abetter way of doing it so we've
come back with a contract laborer person. This also allows to use this person on
the needs and demands, if it's for some reason a slow month or a busy month we
can both work that out with him. He's not getting paid every month like a full time
person would be.
Nary: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Wasn't this the discussion we had recently about the fee increase and it
was for this type of purpose and we sort of held off on that pending a little further
study? Because would this be basically reimbursed out of fees?
Bowers: That's correct. That's how we thought we would be able to pay for part
of this or all of it would be out of those fees. You betcha.
De Weerd: All of it.
Bowers: All of it. That was all of our enhancements that we have presented to
you guys. The Meridian Rural Fire Protection District. Rich Greene had an
emergency today he wants to give you his apologies for not coming today. HE
had a tooth problem and had to go to the dentist this morning and of course
Steve Elliot and Terry Leighton is out on vacation. They appreciate everything
you are doing for them too. We discussed the budget a little bit Monday night
with the Rural Commissioners and t hey a re w hoJe-heartedly backing a budget
that we have shown you guys today. There were several questions on each
enhancement also. They understand what we are doing here too. Also to pay
ourselves little bit on the back too. If you haven't heard, we received a 29,000-
dollar grant for our fire safe house. The rural has set aside a few dollars to help
out on that grant. We will be able to buy chairs tables, VCR equipment and
remodel 0 ne 0 four bed rooms into a s prin kler room. It's going to help us 0 ut
tremendously and as you've, guys have talked about and we have talked about.
We believe that we need to start with our kids showing them fire prevention,
showing them fire safety when they are cooking. Giving them a little bit of first
aid training. That is going to help out tremendously too. Mayor and Council do
you have any questions?
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: Just to add to that Kenny there is only a 10 percent match required
on that grant which I didn't suggest that the other night.
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 23 of 90
Bowers: Oh you have told them? You have mentioned to them that we got a
grant?
De Weerd: Yes.
Bowers: Great. Wasn't knew news. I thought I was going to get a chance to pat
myself on the back Tammy.
De Weerd: Well we have already patted you.
Bowers: Oh good. Thank you. I didn't know it.
De Weerd: Really hard to-
Bowers: All right. Any other questions that we can answer for you guys?
Bird: Thank you for the presentation..
Bowers: Thank you for giving us the time and we got through the PowerPoint
without going backwards.
Bird: You bet.
Bowers: Thank you.
Corrie: Moving forward. Thank you Kenny and nice presentation.
Bowers: Do you guys - will we need to come tomorrow for anything? For any
questions or anything tomorrow that you know of?
Bird: I don't know.
Bowers: Okay I didn't know if we did or not.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: [guess I do want to make sure that we got an update on our
revenue. If that money from the rural is also included in that? Is it Stacy?
Kilchenmann: The grant money?
De Weerd: Yeah their portion for the engine, for the fire engine.
Bird: No it hasn't gone in.
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 24 of 90
Bowers: No.
De Weerd: Okay.
Bowers: Mayor Corrie and City Council members, Councilperson De Weerd. No
that was not put in there. We felt the City would have to pay for that whole thing.
So it did not show up in the revenue from the rural.
De Weerd: Okay and it is in their published document they are having their
public hearing next month and so that number is in there. Stacy if we can modify
our revenue analysis one more time to include that.
Bowers: Thank you very much I appreciate it.
De Weerd: Thanks Kenny. Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I guess I would have a question on our fire inspection fees and really
how we want to best deal with that and I don't know if the budget hearing is
where we want to have that conversation or during the fee process as we are
considering the those fees. We do want to know how we do the accounting to
make sure those fees go directly to offset this cost.
Corrie: I think that would be in the public hearing so that you can make sure that
it gets on the record too.
Bird: Would it be during a public hearing of the budget or we've got to have a
public hearing on a fee deal. That's where it would come forward at and at that
point I think when we pass the resolution, which on the fees we just have to have
resolution if we just make sure that t hat's where it goes - it pays for itself by
revenue.
Nary: Right.
Bird: And once you get it in the resolution then I don't think anybody can change
it.
De Weerd: I just want to make it a special fund similar to our building fees so it
doesn't get lost.
Bird: That section has got to just be self-supporting and all the fees comes in
stays there.
De Weerd: And doesn't move till (inaudible).
Meridian Clly Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17,2003
Page 25 of 90
Bird: And doesn't go into anything else.
Corrie: Okay any other questions of Council?
De Weerd: Nope.
Bird: I have none. These reports have just been so first class Mayor and I'm
very very satisfied with them. They are very very first class and I think this is a
reflection on you and Stacy and the work you guys put into this too.
Corrie: I would like to explain a little bit about the priority that I put on things.
You'll notice that in the Fire Department a thermal imaging unit was not in the
priority list and it wasn't to the fact that I didn't think it should be number one. I
thought that perhaps with a little help from the Mayors office and what have you
we could generate that amount of money from donations and I would be willing to
spearhead that and I think that they would be able to get that amount of money
that wouldn't have to come out of the budget. They've done an excellent job in
what they have done here and asked for and to cut down on an awful lot and I
think that if we work with them on the fire truck we might be able to reduce that
even more but I really feel that that thermal imaging unit can be taken care of by
donations and that. I'Ye had a lot of people already say they'd like to do that.
We may half of that already.
Bird: I can vouch that a couple organizations I know who would be glad to
donate towards it.
Corrie: Yeah and we may even be able to pick up two for that price because it
ahs gone down.
Bird: I think that truck is very important.
Corrie: Definitely.
Bird: I think we ought to get that thing ordered right now.
Corrie: And I think we have ways to do that and really work on it.
Bird: I think there's ways we can do that but that truck has got to be ordered.
Because that isn't something you just go buy off the lot. Don't just go drive
home. We got to have it ready to go.
Corrie: And I'Ye talked to Kenny about that thermal imaging and I definitely
agree that they need it. It's just a matter of how we are going to get it.
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 26 of 90
Bird: I think every station has got to have one but I think we can get it through
donations just like you said.
Corrie: Thank you anything else?
Bowers: I think we brought in a pretty conservative budget. If you take the fir
truck out of there [ think it's been very conservative. That was a very good
discussion between Stacy and I and the Mayor. What are we going to do are we
going to take that fire truck out of our fire truck fund or are we going to pay for it
through city funds? We pretty well thought we would take it out of the fire truck
fund this time but we still are going to have to start putting money back into that
fund one of these days. We can't forget that, we need to start -
Corrie: With what we have been talking about by the time you're ready for
another truck you'll have that much amount of money again if we do that. I was
looking over a 700,000 dollar deficit and from my standpoint J was trying to find
some ways to widdle that down and still get you as much as you can and that
was one of my reasoning with the fire truck was to rather then - we'll explain that
why I came to that conclusion but I think everybody the department heads and
that have done an excellent job and you've come in and the Police Department
the two big ones have done an excellent job and I commend you as well chief
and deputy chief.
Bowers: I do know that the Meridian Rural Fire Protection District wants to meet
with you guys again and discuss our future plans and keep talking about that with
Tammy at our meetings so and I didn't get to thank before the crew left. I want to
thank the fire guys. Thank you guys. Station one and Station two for showing up
today.
Corrie: Very good. Thank you guys.
Bowers: A little late but that's okay. Thank you.
Corrie: Thank you Kenny, thank you Bill.
Kilchenmann: You are scheduled for a break at 10:15. I think maybe we'll just
squeeze Will in here while Terry's still here. Terry is going to have Lasik's eye
surgery so hopeful we won't have our IT staff using brail at the end of that. I'll get
Terry and Will if that would be okay with you.
Corrie: Okay.
Bird: Sure.
Corrie: I think its fun to squeeze Will.
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 27 of 90
Kilchenmann: We just have one administrative enhancement request so.
Corrie: Okay very good.
CITY CLERK
Corrie: Hi Terry.
Paternoster: Hi Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: When are we going to get those new codes that I have to put in my
computer to get on it? Is that coming up?
Paternoster: Codes?
Corrie: I'm trying to think of what my password is going to be. I got to change it
every 60 days. I don't think I'm that smart or not to think of a new one. That is a
good idea I'm glad you are doing that. Go ahead.
Bird: Go ahead.
Berg: Thank you Mayor, members of the Council. Hopefully you read through
your manual and if you had any questions about the budget itself in my
department you could ask me now or ask me later. I handed out a sheet that
went through the one enhancement that we are requesting and its in conjunction
with getting information out to the city dealing with our website. We are in the
stages of trying to keep our records electronically. Scanning them and putting
them in files as you can see the laptop project from last year [ think is working
successfully. We are retrieving documents electronically, emailing them to
people. This is one of those unique software situations that when you continue
with the same firm you have to upgrade with the system. Fortunately or
unfortunately, that's there business and so this is an upgrade to the Laserfiche
system. It will enhance our ability to hook up into the website. I think everything
is pretty well self-explanatory on the enhancement page. I tried to put it in pretty
much easy terminology what we are trying to accomplish with this upgrade and
Terry is here. He probably has some answers to your technical questions. I'll
kind of leave it at that.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: This enhancement, the Laserfiche upgrade. Will you know its only 24,000
dollars but we are going to see a savings of better than that by bringing that
enhancement in. I think it's something that we've got to do. If anything its
proven out, these laptops for us and stuff is just to me and I'm the dumbest
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 28 of 90
computer guy here but it has been a real blessing to me to have the things and I
think this is something that we certainly need to move forward on this
enhancement. I don't see it has even being a questionable item myself.
Nary: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I'd just like to make note that Mr. Bird is now supporting a computer
enhancement. That's very good.
Corrie: He's getting smarter.
Bird: I feel that's just an upgrade in the city period.
Nary: I would concur. I think you're absolutely right.
Bird: I know Boise City is down on that Laserfiche down at their building
department and you talk to developers or builders and stuff and they love it.
They think it's the greatest thing that's every happened and I believe that also
and I think that's what it will do for us too Will.
Berg: Thank you. Mr. Mayor, members of the Council. Also just to point out our
Police 0 epartment is a Iso in L aserfiche system scanning their documents and
filing them electronically. Just to make sure I point out that Sharon Smith has
spearheaded and kind of made sure these things are trying to get organized into
our electronic system. Our whole staff has really liked the concept of being able
to retrieve documents, at least our current documents electronically and emailing
them out to people. That has been a real asset. Everything is pretty much done
electronically from getting comments from our staff to us and then us getting it to
you and to the rest of the public and developers of the projects. It is going to by
far save cost for personnel and storage. Not to say that we don't need a new city
hall, but we do need a city hall. Did we -
Corrie: Okay any other questions?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De W eerd: I guess Will you have the n ew sou nd system i n here somewhere
don't you?

(Recess)
PARKS DEPARTMENT
Corrie: Come out of recess and we now have Parks presentation. So Doug you
are on.
Strong: Good morning Mayor members of the Council. Not having done this
before, I'll just kind of shoot from the hip. I don't have a formal presentation and
I'm prepared to answer questions primarily. I think just in summarizing our
budget request I hope fairly straight forward. We have essentially two new things
we are asking for in our base budget and that's a maintenance position and a
one ton utility truck would be the two enhancements there. Then the rest of what
you see is in impact fees. The primary focus of what we are looking at in our
request with impact fees is to get moving on master planning and construction
document work for many of the parks that will need to be developed. Essentially
our undeveloped parkland so that we can keep progress moving along with those
and contribute in that way to in some cases partnerships. Not all cases are there
partnerships involved with the master planning. An example would be the
Autumn Fair neighborhood park that I think it's identified to start master plan
documents. There is no partnership identified for that park yet. In order to keep
progress moving along with the land that we currently have we need master
planning and construction document work done. That's what's identified with
most of the impact fee amounts. With that very short introduction, I would stand
for questions and staff is here also to answer questions that I can't.
Nary: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Doug could you talk about this truck a little bit. This 42,000 dollar request
for this service truck and -
Strong: The intent behind the service truck is that our staff person that does a lot
of maintenance in the parks when something has to be repaired in the park. This
truck would be essentially self-contained. Everything that we would need to go
out to a site and operate remotely would be on it, welder, and air compressor
things like that, all the tools. It would prevent the running back and forth to the
shop to do many of the tasks that are encountered in the repair of play
equipment or things that have been vandalized in the building things like that.
For everything that needs to go on the truck, it needs to be a fairly substantial
truck to do that so it's a utility truck.
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 30 of 90
Nary: So its not replacing something this is essentially a new item that you are
looking at and its basically sort of takes the place of a couple three different other
ways that you have been doing it currently? Is that the way that you -
Strong: Right now we have tool boxes on pick-up trucks and we have some of
what we need typically for a job on site and then we often encounter where we
have to run back to the shop to weld something or to use a cutting torch. To get
something done where if we had it on site it would save that trip back and forth.
As we have more parks developed. Where the need to be out and mobile to
increase our efficiency and just staff time becomes more apparent and that's the
intent of this truck is to help us be more efficient and when we go out to a site to
repair something and Elroy can add to that.
Huff: Thank you Doug. One other thing on that. In the department right now we
have the one-ton dump truck that we use quite a bit. It's the one that's heavy
enough to pull one of the two trailers that we have. My three quarter ton truck
does not handle those in a really safe manner when they are loaded. This truck
in addition to that would give us an opportunity to pull either one of those trailers.
If we are using simultaneously well then that truck can be as well as a tool truck
we can tow one of the rigs somewhere which a lot of times Brad does with the
skidster and the loader and the truck all at one time. That would be handier even
yet. Instead of having, to always have that truck he can take that truck and that
equipment, go, and we can still use that other truck. Sometimes we lose a little
time by having to split out how we trade out time on those. That would be a little
more efficient having another vehicle that has capacity to take whatever we
need. I f we have to go rent a piece of equipment, which occasionally we do
sometimes, it comes to with a little bigger trailer and the truck can handle that
too, we don't have to have them deliver. That saves us a little bit.
Strong: Thanks Elroy. Maybe just to add on why we are asking for new is that
we are typically very content in inheriting pick-up trucks that other departments
give up. This particular piece of equipment is not available by hand me down
process. It's kind of specialized and unique to that specific need. The best way
to acquire it is new.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I had a question regarding your groundskeeper. Last year there was
a request and it showed kind of acreage per employee that you had. Maybe I'm
out of line you probably already have this in your request form. What are your
average acres per employee and what kind of impact would this one position
have?
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 31 of 90
Strong: I'm going to let Elroy address the majority of that question I think. To
lead into that as we look at the staff positions that we currently have in the
department I think its important to understand how many of the positions that
have classified as groundskeepers have been used. T hat we take out of the
formula for people that actually do grounds keeping work. Brad whose kind of
our maintenance technician. We have Terry Whipple who's a fabrication person
that we just redid a classification on that position so rather then groundskeeper
he's identified has maintenance technician part time. Elroy often has been
counted as part of you know a person on the ground but as park superintendent
and with administrative duties it's not appropriate to fit him into the mix for how
many people we need per acre. We've tried to identify in our description of
staffing the people that really aren't full time groundskeepers and then the
number of acreage that we have to take care of to address that so. Elroy will talk
about the acreage per person and some of the standards that we came up with
for that.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Huff: Just something that we were working on. I'm finding myself a little bit more
administrative. I do go out and take care of some things that are absolute
necessities. Late in t he afternoon some 0 four staff is already g one, I do get
pulled into the everyday work but the percentages is smaller all the time mainly
because of the amount of construction that we have going and different things.
Just looking at the acreage compared to last year we really are at the point now
of about 90.6 actual developed acres of parkland. We are still out there with 117
acres of parkland undeveloped that we do some maintenance on in order to keep
it looking halfway decent. We get pulled around quite a little bit so if you get to
looking at what we really actually have in groundskeepers is about three times
groundskeepers. We have Dennis and Rick and S pence those are the three.
Then we have summertime help that jumps our staff up for those anywhere from
three months to six or seven months and that brings us up to where our standard
of maintenance is 18 acres per person at this time. The national average is
about 15 it depends on what amenities you have in the park denotes how many
people you have to have. We are putting more stuff into ours all the time and as
the more amenities we put in the more required labor that it takes to take care of
those things. I'm looking for some kind of a happy medium of where to stop at so
we can handle it. We really are struggling a little bit with the manpower issues.
The other thing that we want to be able to make sure that the Council
understands is we are very frugal about is that if we do end up with a person to
go on staff for full time we probably won't bring them on in October we may bring
them on next spring when the workload increases. When we get ready. It'll
depend a little bit too on what our construction projects look like they are going to
shake out to next year. We could very well have some acreage get close into
things going on with it this summer and during the winter if it allows a little bit. So
sometime next summer we could have more acres to take care of then we now
have. I'm looking down the road and then trying to figure out when we would
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 32 of 90
implement our needs. If something happens and we don't implement the needs
then we just won't do it. We are trying to make sure that we're not just jumping
out there and dragging that person in here to go to work when we're running just
kind of so so. We are actually behind personnel wise but we're willing to do
whatever we can do to help in the budget and to not bring that person on until we
really need them so we are good that way. It's a challenging time and we know
that we have all the right acreage out there undeveloped and now we are going
to get some more acreage and we just want to make sure that we don't get
snowballed in the process of it. It's the same thing where we got things coming
up with pathways, we have developers that want us to take over some of those
pathways that we worry about being able to take care of when we take them over
so we are trying to make sure we don't take more then what we can budget for.
At this point, Doug and I have discussed that at length about what are standards
might be on taking that over because that is going to increase our needs and our
manpower and our staff and our base budget. We want to soften that up over
the next several years as soft as we can especially in the budget crunch, we are
in. We don't take over more then we can handle and then impact the city in that
way too. We want to be careful of that.
Nary: Mr. Mayor.
...
Corrie: Well while you are there and Doug's here. Kind of let the Council know
about this 8th Street footbridge. We discussed it in our meeting and I'm
determined that maybe we could be 100,000 dollars saved there for this year and
kind of let them know what we were thinking on that.
Huff: We had a really good discussion on the 8th Street footbridge. We didn't get
as much solid information on that as I would of liked to, I still think the 100,000
dollar figure is a lot, especially if we went with a about a four foot wide bridge.
But there is always that geotechnical stuff (inaudible) and different things with I
think its Water Resources that gets involved with that creek down there when you
start doing things with it. Same similar things that we run into when we work with
that other bridge that we put in by Tully Park. You know connecting that bridge
with asphalt paths affects the cost of that entire project. The bridge itself is
probably not overly expensive but connecting up to it with pathways adds quite a
bit to the cost of whatever it is per square foot of asphalt and then bedding it and
everything else to get it there through the park over to the end of Chateau that
then on around to the end of 8th Street. Those added quite a bit of cost to that
and gets you up into that high number range. We still feel like its something that
we would like to do and need to do. Its just when to do it that's the best time and
we kind of felt like maybe we could skirt by on that for a little while if we had to.
Nary: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop

Nary: Elroy you know on the groundskeeper issue. Is there any opportunity or
has there been any look at either two seasonals rather then a full time
groundskeeper and a part time seasonal that you've asked for and whether or
not that will self fill the bill for you. Or the other alternative I guess what you are
talking about for some of that work is what it sounding to me like was really
ground maintenance and have you looked at costs for contracting for that service
rather then hiring employees to do that?
Huff: I have not looked at the cost of contracting. Generally I don't look at that
so much because I know what I have a good feel for what those costs are and
what service you can get from that. The problem that I have sometimes with the
size of our parks which range most of the time are going to be 18 acres or 20
acres and we have Settlers which will eventually be 58 or 56. The problem that
we get at seasonal help is that I will usually will turn them over a lot of times and I
spend a lot of time in training and if I can get to the point where I can keep a
certain number of full timers that I have trained that I can depend on and know
what they are doing it makes it a lot easier in day to day business. You're part
timers you can use for lots of different things but its not necessarily some of the
technical stuff that I'm going to need them for coming on. Because I turn them
over too much and then I'll have to start back in if they go on to college or don't
come back the next year. I spend all year working with them on certain things
and then I don't get them back next year so then I have to look for somebody and
start that over again. I don't mind having some of the part timers, the ones I have
now are all good guys but they are doing things that if they don't come back next
year it won't adversely impact the department. I can train other people to do the
things I got them doing but as our acreage increases that's where I need full time
help that can get trained and I can count on being there day after day and year
after year.
Nary: And some of that maintenance that you are talking about I guess if I
understand what you are saying is that contracting for some of the more base
type of grounds maintenance mowing the lawns and trimming up the parks and
those kinds of things. Its cost prohibitive to do it through a contract that you are
better off hiring seasonals to do that rather then just contracting that service out.
Huff: Generally I think the contracting service would cost me more then the
seasonal would cost. That's in my past experience, I haven't run those numbers
recently I figure those would hold true.
Nary: Even by putting out an RFP or something like that just seeing what the
markets out there and whether or not you got people out there -
Huff: It's an interesting thing to do. I've done it before in years past, it's been
some time since I've done that but it didn't pencil out (inaudible). Like I say you
do add a lot of things in there if you bring them in and they are not using our
equipment, if they use their own. You add to their cost so you are not just
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 34 of 90
dealing with labor and we are trying to deal with whatever equipment we already
have and stay within those bounds and if that works out okay then my part timers
work pretty well. I am just limited on what I have them do so that I don't depend
on them so much that when they leave it causes problems. I don't like hand an
18-acre park over to the part timer unless he's really sharp because then that
means that next year I don't have somebody else to staff that area. Those things
get to be a little tense there sometimes. I hope I've answered your question right
or not Bill.
Corrie: Tell me or tell us I guess tell us about that 20,OOO-dollar Bear Creek
tennis court. I initially cut that one out in the priority but I come to realize that
maybe half of that 40,000 is paid by a developer, is that correct? How does that -
Huff: Yes. Bear Creek LLC or Greg Johnson I guess if you want to put it that
way are still interested in developing some amounts of that park. They had an
estimate that it would cost about 40 to do lock stock on the tennis courts. They
asked us if we could think about budgeting for half of the cost and they could pay
for the other half. They are more then willing to do that depending on how we
budget. I'm assuming that that park is what we call not all the way developed so
that we could still use impact fee money on it I would think but its something that
we think in that part of town would be a good amenity we don't have anything like
that out there that we do have some space for.
Corrie: They haven't discussed doing it at all have they? Help sell their homes
out there.
Huff: We discussed several things in the past but they have been staying about
half half. I think they are smart enough to know to do that. I wish they would
come across with a couple other things but.
Corrie: That helps them sell homes out there. I believe that the tennis court will
help some. I really believe that all the amenities out there between that and the
playground. Those are the two that would.
Strong: I'd like to jump in for a minute and add to the discussion about the
seasonal versus full time staff. I think there is another issue that we don't want to
overlook here and it relates to the park ordinance that we are working on
currently and once that park ordinance is in place, we will establish rules for
different areas of parks. One of the things that's identified in the park ordinance
is who can enforce those park rules and working out agreements with the Police
Department there is many things that can be dealt with on site by city staff or in
this case park staff. That's best handled by either full time or trained seasonal
staff. If there's something going on at the skate park or something going on at
the playground where rules are being violated they would have authority to
approach that situation and deal with it to the extent of actually writing an
exclusion notice of the person that needs to be expelled from the park for a
Meridian City Council SpecIal Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 35 of 90
period of time. That I think is going to be a continued and growing issue with
parks as we build more parks have more activities in parks is how we control the
activity in the park. I mean what we are talking about with groundskeepers
typically is just taking care of the green space the open space but we are going
to have more of the challenge of dealing with the behavior issues that come up
with space that we provide for citizens to use and manage in conflict or potential
conflict in parks so. As we look into the future, we are going to be looking at the
potential for positions that might have similar orientation to the recreation
facilities person that we brought on board this summer to deal with the issues at
the Tully Skate Park. Particularly to add other active use areas like the
adventure land playground area, which could be very inviting to a large number
of people including disabled or handicapped population. If that helps any.
McCandless: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. McCandless.
McCandless: Tell me about that Bear Creek bleachers and what its for? Do you
have a soccer field out there or something?
Huff: Yes we have two softball fields out there and we did not look at the seating
at the same that we did at Tully Park there is big bleachers on four on each side
of the field over there. There are two on each field. What we did on this park is
we put some room back there for one bleacher behind each field behind each
field right behind the backstop. That's a limited amount of seating because there
is enough space out there in the long fence runs and things we did for people to
bring their lawn chairs or just sit on the grass. We've tried to soften that up so
the amount of bleacher space that we would need would be less.
McCandless: So that's for softball.
Huff: Yes.
McCandless: Okay.
Huff: We discussed not doing that. I can't remember now how much the
bleachers are but we were trying to just hopefully that everybody would come
and bring things. T hey do like to do come sit in their lawn chairs and watch
games and things so we had that pretty well set up that way. We know there's
always a need for some bleacher space but I think the seating for each one is
only about 50 or less they are not really large. That makes them pretty easy to
work around if we had to move them or something we could they wouldn't be so
hard to move around. If we had to coast a little while longer without those that
wouldn't be the end of the world.
McCandless: Thanks.
Meridian City Council SpecIal Budget Workshop

Page 36 of 90
Nary: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Yes. Mr. Nary.
Nary: On that one Elroy on the bleachers and things. Has there been any
discussion with some of the leagues that use that? Whether or not some of
those you know making that part of the fees for the leagues to help off set some
of the cost for some of those kinds of things. No there hasn't been discussion
with them on that partly because we weren't sure when we were going to do that.
We haven't made that discussion. That is a possibility to do something like that
and plan ahead for that that is possible. The other thing I was going to ask was
on the groundskeeper you said that that wouldn't probably be an October start.
That would probably be a spring start and the seasonal I would assume would be
the same thing. Something in the spring or late spring.
Huff: Usually our seasonal vary from depending on the weather a little bit I'll try
to not bring them not until I have to but they run anywhere from mid March to mid
April. It's betterfor me if I bring them on about March 15th and run them through
till October. We usually suffer some bit in October and November after they are
gone and there has been a couple times I've saved enough money where I just
used a little bit in the next years budget and kept one of them on through the
month of October mainly because I was short manpower after October 1 st
because they are usually gone about then.
Nary: Are the dollar figures here reflective of that (inaudible) or would it be less
then what's requested here.
Huff: What you see there is the dollar figures for - are you talking about part
timers?
Nary: Well both yes, the groundskeeper at 41,453 and a seasonal at 15,306 and
I didn't know if that was an October one beginning of the budget year amount or
whether or not it would actually be less then that.
Huff: That's beginning of the budget year groundskeeper on the 41 that's if we
ran him all year and put him all full time. The other is from March to the end of
September. Anyways there's some things that I think are the first things that I
see that are going to happen with us manpower wise is I believe that in the next
six to seven months there are going to be some interesting happenings to the
west side of Settlers Park. Looking now already at 26 acres developed there and
that other side is probably going to develop so when it does our grounds keeping
needs we get a little upside down again. That's what I'm looking out for and it's
pretty hard to really have one person out there taking care of 58 acres when we
are one person for every 18.
Meridian City Council SpecIal Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 37 of 90
Nary: I wonder. Has there been any discussion with, I know those groups are
raising money to improve those fields both baseball, soccer and (inaudible). I
wonder if t here has been any discussion with a ny 0 f those g rou ps as well for
some partial assistance on long-term maintenance.
Huff: We have had some lose discussion over that. We are trying to get things
to if it works right what we are maintaining out there from the Parks Departments
is everything related to turf and irrigation and we won't do baseball fields for
games. They take care of all those kinds of things we don't have to prep those
like we do some prep at Tully now for our men's leagues and things like that. We
won't be involved in that prep. There's some other things there we are trying to
figure out a way to minimize our impact. There are other things that we will still
be responsible for out there and other amenities that go into the park plus
adventure land playground. Those things are all going to take some serious
maintenance time, I just got a feeling there is not way of getting out of that.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: This is for Councilman Nary. On these bleacher s we seem to have a hang
up on 4,400 dollars I can tell you that the cost of those that's probably for two
sets of bleachers. We happened to purchase the ones that went out at Harold
Cox's field and I think the set of bleachers out there was about 2,600 bucks we
paid for that. Most of the cost of that is government restrictions and safety things
that come along. Its something I think you need to have behind everyone, I don't
think its an outrageous deal to ask for that's two sets to go out there behind the
nice fields that we do have at Bear Creek Park. I don't know, but that's where
the cost comes in Bill. I mean back in 87 I got those two big ones that sits at the
Legion Field for 5,600 bucks for the two of them and look how much bigger they
are then the ones sitting down at Harold Cox but we didn't have the federal
regulations on it at that time. Now we are paying for it (inaudible).
Nary: Well I guess I didn't have any concern with the cost more of looking
alternative ways to fund ita nd if we have some] eagues that u se t hose fields
predominately then maybe one of the ways to do that is for the fees to off set a
portion of cost.
Bird: With the impact fees we got to be using some of our general fees to match
up with these impact fees too if you look at our impact fee ordinance and so stuff
like that is costs that will do it. At least add 10 bucks on every player's fee to
register and it's a fairly small impact to the player but yet that fee can go towards
park maintenance and you know they can maybe do bleachers one year and
maybe do something else another year. Maybe they are going to re-enhance the
dugout or something like that but I was just thinking that kind of discussion would
be a good thing to have. Same thing with the (inaudible) that are helping develop
Meridian Clty Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17,2003
Page 38 of 90
the other fields in looking at long-term maintenance to avoid the taxpayers having
to pick up the 100 percent of the tab. That they look at some long-term
maintenance for soccer and baseball and all the other things that are going on.
Bird: [can tell you that in Boise the optimist, we pay for some of the
maintenance if we don't do it.
Nary: Sure.
Strong: Maybe a part of this question to is we talked earlier is if we have
somebody that is willing to contribute bleachers for a park c an, we count that
toward a match for impact fees?
Bird: You bet.
Strong: And I think that would be a question that would be real helpful for us.
Maybe encourage us to go out had look for partners knowing that were also
helping the match for the impact fees.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I think the Finance Department's looking in to that. I have already
asked them the question and I did ask that they run a report on where we are at
with the impact fees. We still are ahead in our match and I also understand that
the recommendation coming forth from the impact fee committee is to reduce the
matching for the impact fees from the current 50 percent to 25 percent. That will
be a really good thing for the department as a whole. Right now we are about
100,00 ahead. Reta did plug in the current budget year as well. As you can see
most of the requests in the Parks are impact fees. I think we can get on top of
that, it doesn't have to always go the 50 percent every single year. They just
want you to remain cognoscente of it. I think we should be okay this year and
with the additional information on it if we can account in kind and donations
towards that match we will be well above because then we can go back and look
at what's been donated and in kind donated to Tully Park to Bear Creek to
Chateau -
Huff: Which we have quite a few on spread out through those three.
Bird: Boy you take the Harold Cox softball field down there, which was
completely donated, and I bet that hasn't been counted.
De Weerd: But that's an existing park. I don't know if -
Bird: No it was not an existing park. It was under impact fees when it was done.
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 39 of 90
De Weerd: Oh was it.
Bird: Yes.
Huff: I know some of the - I haven't looked at it for a while but I know we can
figure out what improvement costs have been donated by the developer at Bear
Creek. We have had quite a few things on that one and then it seems like we
had a little something on Chateau and so we do have some things out there
where people have donated certain things to the park.
Bird: Skateboard Park.
Huff: Yes we have a lot there, which goes into Tully I guess, We have a lot on
skateboard and of course (inaudible) a few other things like that putting things in
to so all those things count. I lost my train of thought.
De Weerd: I'm sorry.
Strong: Something I think j want to come back to if this is an appropriate time to
do that is as we talk about master planning and construction documents for the
parks that we are in the process of developing. The requests here are what it
would cost us to do it if we had put everything out to bid at current market. As we
look at master plan we also have some other ways that we can be efficient which
we will pursue and I want to make you aware of that so that you know in
everyway that we can or that we can find or based on suggestions that come
forward we want to be as cost effective so that we have as m any impact fee
dollars available as possible to not just develop parts but also acquire parts. We
have an offer from Boise Parks and Recreation to use their planners for master
planning and the cost would essentially be their salary and benefits. We will take
advantage of that as much as we can and it's made available to us so that they
can keep their planners busy and keep them on the payroll. Its kind of a win win
for both departments. We will do the same with the completion of construction
documents when people are willing to step up and contribute to some of the cost
of completing construction documents or completing master plans, we will take
advantage of that. We already have some interest in Lochsa Falls from the
developer and the architect that is working next door in Verona Subdivision
because they have a lot of the site work already completed for Verona that will
help for some of the initial planning for Lochsa Falls. Like I say we will take
advantage of much of that kind of contribution as possible in completing these
plans. We feel even if when we are working with partners that this takes us a
step further along in completing a park and actually in some cases can help us
turn a park green as much as a year or so earlier then if we waited for the partner
to go out and get master planning construction document work completed where
in many cases they are asking for donations of that work. An example of where
that's worked I think is with Kiwanis park where Pinnacle Engineering has
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 40 of 90
donated much 0 f t he wark that's been done t here for that park. That's pretty
unique I think, an engineering firm stepping forward and being willing to
contribute that amount of work that they don't make any money on.
De Weerd: I think you can't say no to Gordon Harris.
Strong: No they have some very influential members in that group. In may
cases those people will jump forward and like we were talking before the hearing
when we just in the work that we've done so far on our newly named Centennial
Park all of a sudden we have two local people that want to jump in and put some
money there. I think when people see progress being made and they see
something happening I think people will come forward and help with that. That's
what we are attempting to do with much of this request is keep progress moving
along on planning for parks so that the bottom line for us that we have a lot of
control over the basic specifications of what goes in a park. Then when we work
with the partners its very clear what's going to be there and the standards that
are going to met to develop it. Because we will have the task of maintaining it for
the years to come and want to make sure its done right so we don't have
inadequate irrigation systems and other things that can happen. That was kind
of our thinking as we put this together and the next step as we look at the
expenditure of impact fees is to look for more parkland. That's something in the
next year or two that we need to look further in how we want to fill out that map in
our Comprehensive Plan for additional park space. Next year when we come
back I hope that we are talking about more parkland purchased too and our
challenge will be to balance acquiring parkland and developing parkland and
using what limited impact fee money we have to do that. That's our thinking and
I guess we are here to have that thinking modified if you see.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Let me tell you these guys Doug and Elroy has worked hard with the Parks
and Recreation Commission to go with this budget. I think this is a very fair
budget that they've brought forward. Very lean. It's like Tammy said on the
impact fees, most of this purchase stuff is going to be through impact fees, which
thank goodness we have. I know they have worked on it. I'm for one that
doesn't like to see extra people on board or extra material but they do need the
groundskeeper they do need the one-ton service truck as we get larger and stuff
and we are saving ourselves a lot of money by not having to hire this stuff out. I
know Doug and Elroy have looked at both aspects of whether how you do it and
what's the best way to do it and this is come up the most cost effective. I feel
they've got a very fair proposal before us at this time and I think they've just done
a real fine job of presenting it and I know Doug hasn't had that long of experience
of how we do it here at the City of Meridian. He's jumped in and done a great job
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17,2003
Page 41 of 90
for us, I certainly appreciate it, and I think it's a very fine budget. It's a class act
on their part.
Strong: We've also proposed some places where if we needed to cut things out
where we would recommend that. I think that's in the Mayors budget as well so.
If there are places that we need to cut and the 8lh Street Bridge has been
discussed as one place that we can save a lot of money in our budget request
there and we can find other ways to maybe either fund that or just delay it and
see where we are next year. We are willing to work with that.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: Doug is there for a pathway connection for a bridge where there not
be some grant money available for that? I know you worked - Elroy is probably
shaking in his boots over there at that suggestion since they had to fill with it on
the five-mile path. I would imagine that there should be some grant money
available out.
Strong: I think there is.
De Weerd: Is that correct Elroy?
Huff: I know that it's out there and I'm not a grant writer and I know it's out there.
Doug is a lot better on that then I am. I think that's a good addition to our
department the fact that Doug has done grant work before and that helps us out
a lot.
De Weerd: I think in particular these kinds of projects are a lot more prime for
that kind of grant writing.
Huff: The 0 nly thing that you get into with t hat especially d own there 0 n that
creek is where we'll come back to some of the same issues that we dealt with the
Five Mile Path and the bridge and I guess if we have to deal with that we have to
Corrie: One of the things that we are looking at of course is an organization that
we might be belonging to here and will work on grants and help us with that
writing and that's particularly what they do and when we find them they will help
us get those grants written. I think grants are out there and if we don't take
advantage of them we are really missing the ball really because we pay for it in
the long run.
Strong: I think a project this size Mayor is looking at grants. Smaller projects
and I'll just throw out an amount and say 10 to 20,000 dollars are often not worth
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 42 of 90
writing a grant for because of the administrative costs of dealing with it but of we
are looking at 100,000 plus project like this one's been identified at this point then
it is worth while to look for grant money but there are some expenses that go
along with it in the sense 0 f record keeping, staff time and some 0 f the 0 ther
things that are often required to complete the grant. Depending on where it
comes from but that would be worthwhile I think in this case.
De Weerd: I think with SAGE this is ITD money that I was thinking of as far as
the grants and they are very familiar with that can help write it and I believe they
even help with the administration of it. It's just another help for you and your staff
in pursuing those funds.
Strong: And we will do that.
Corrie: Any other questions of Parks? Okay very good Doug. Thank you and
Elroy and I think we made an excellent choice in Parks Director and we want to
keep that going good and thank you very much you've done a great job. Elroy
the whole staff really, congratulations to the staff as well because they've worked
hard and they are coming along really good so.
Strong: Great thank you.
Kilchenmann: Mayor and members of the Council. You may now break for
lunch.
Corrie: Oh okay.
Kilchenmann: And please try to return at 12:20 and then we will do and discuss
SAGE and MDC and so forth.
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I was just going to ask you know. I guess I didn't notice until we've been
sitting here but I know they didn't necessarily ask for any enhancements but we
are not having discussion with the Building and Planning and Zoning
Departments about any of - its just because they are not asking for
enhancements? There is one thing on there but it looks like it was off set by
some other revenue for a building inspector or something like that.
Kilchenmann: Gary will talk. He will be discussing that this afternoon and the
Public Works and Planning and Zoning is not scheduled for presentation.
Actually that was one thing I thought we should talk about. I did put in here have
them turn in their variance reports from the strategic plan. I'm thinking that I don't
know if we want to do it in conjunction with the budget or a different time but we
should maybe have annual presentations from each department as it relates to
their strategic plan.

Nary: I guess that's what I was thinking but I realize they didn't ask for any
enhancements but last year they asked for a minimal enhancement and we had
a whole lot more to talk about. I guess I just thought it was odd that we didn't
have any presentation at all.
Kilchenmann: What we could do is actually incorporate that as part of the
hearing maybe in the future. Like have them spend 20 minutes on their
department and their strategic plan because it's not taking a complete hour for
them to present their enhancements. Would that work?
Nary: Yes and like I said and I don't necessarily have something in mind but I
guess I thought like I said we've had discussions with other departments about
other things. There wasn't and like I said I just didn't notice until I was sitting
here that they don't have any time scheduled at all for Planning and Zoning and
its such a significant department of the things that go on here that it was sort of
surprising to me that we wouldn't have any conversation a bout it.
KHchenmann: I could actually ask them to come in tomorrow morning.
De Weerd: And Bill just wanted the opportunity to really drill them.
Nary: I don't think so.
Bird: You just wanted to get after on them again.
Corrie: One of the things that we want to make sure is if you got questions, if
Council has questions we want to get them asked. If your not sure of something
you want to ask and find out and if something's not being done here don't be
bashful. I mean I ets talk a bout them because it's the city's money a nd that's
what you are in charge with.
Kilchenmann: ['II ask them to drop by at eight because we are going to be
finishing ahead of schedule and we already did the revenue discussion so they
could drop by.
Nary: Okay.
Corrie: Okay well back at 12:20 is that what you said? 12:20? All right we will
recess till 12:20 then.

PUBLIC WORKS
Smith: Ladies and Gentleman of the Council. For the record, I am Gary Smith,
Public Works Department Director. It's my pleasure today to introduce to you the
supervisory staff of your Public Works Department. These folks are instrumental
and efficient in compliant operation of this department. First of all, Brad Watson,
our City Engineer. Len Grady, Len is our Staff Engineer. He spends a lot of time
out in the field so you may not of seen his face as often as the rest of us. Daunt
Whitman is going to be here. He is our Building Official as you now and he
hasn't made it yet. Rick Clinton out Water Superintendent and his assistant,
Chip Hudson, is ill today so he's not available. Don Case is here and Don is our
Chief Water Operator for the Water Department. Jon Shawcroft our Wastewater
Superintendent you all know and Danny Higgs is John's assistant superintendent
and Brent Grover is the Chief Operator at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. We
as a Public Works Department are pleased to present out budget to you today for
fiscal year 2004. I will discuss the one enhancement that we have for the
Building Department a nd Daunt said he was going to be here to make a few
comments to you also. Brad will present the budget enhancement for the
Engineering Division and Rick will present the budget enhancement for the Water
Division. Brad and Rick will answer any questions you may have concerning the
enhancements or any other areas of the operations of our Department or the
Water Department. Jon will present the budget enhancements for the
Wastewater Division and again Brad and Jon will answer any questions you may
have concerning the enhancements or operations of that department. I take this
time to offer a special thank you to Brad for coordinating and putting this
presentation together, it's taken a lot of work and effort on his part and we really
appreciate it. I had a doctor's appointment at 10:00 this morning and it was
cancelled at about 9:15 and moved to 2:30. It's one of those appointments that
has been a long time in getting and I would rather not endure having to move it to
August, which is what the receptionist told me. I would with your permission if we
are still in the process at about 2:15 I need to leave. I hope you understand. In
case these proceedings do go into the 2:00 hour I respectfully call your attention
to a memo that I sent to you on June 30th concerning employee compensation. I
know this is a really tough budget year for general fund revenues and I very
much respect the difficult decision that you have to make concerning not only
enhancements to our city but also employee compensation. I understand the
bottom line. Money in equals money out. My hope is that employees from all
city departments can be treated equally as regards in any salary increases that
are given. As you know the enterprise fund supports 100 percent of the salaries
of all Public Works Department staff. 100 percent of the salaries of all MUBS
Department staff. 50 percent of the salaries of the Finance Department and 50
percent of the salaries of the HR Department. I've said it before and I'll continue
to say it that our employees are our most important assets. Without them the
wheels of what we do don't turn. I know it's a time where benefits are under
scrutiny and monies are short for consideration of salary increases and just to
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 45 of 90
pay for a cost of living increase if that is possible. I support funding salary
increases for monies within the enterprise fund for the departments that I have
listed above and I do support the proposal that has been submitted to you from
our HR Department concerning this subject. I'd like to start with the Building
Department enhancement and Daunt isn't here yet and I'm hoping that he does
come and when he does come I would like your permission to have him make a
few comments concerning that position. This is a difficult proposal to make from
two standpoints. Number 1 Daunt and Steve, his assistant, have done a very
good job in providing inspection services for new construction and that was very
well documented in a recently completed customer service survey. Secondly,
they have been around for a while, they become friends, and they have
contributed to the well being of our community. They have contributed their
services for no cost on special projects. This change is being proposed because
it has been expressed that the size of our city can support full time employee
inspectors in these two position to provide some additional time for the inspectors
in the office and that there would be some cost savings to the city.
Corrie: Gary just for your information. Daunt did come in.
Smith: Thank you Daunt.
De Weerd: You are late so you need to sit in the front row.
Smith: Daunt is here and he's obviously very interested in maintaining his
contract for these services and he would appreciate the opportunity as I
expressed earlier to make a few comments to you. I publicly apologize to Daunt
for dropping him out of the loop concerning notification on these budget
presentations and I sincerely Daunt apologize for that oversight, it was not
intentional by any means. That's all of my opening comments and I guess at this
point with your permission if Daunt would like to say a few words concerning his
position in life at this present time I think he would appreciate that.
Corrie: I would like to hear his position in life at this time.
Smith: Concerning building inspection. Did you want to make any comments to
the Council?
Whitman: Mr. Mayor and members of the Council. I didn't have a whole lot of
time to come up with anything actually to speak to you about other then I guess
questions I would have would be, what would the expected change would
improve. You know if there were a problem with the service you had been
getting from myself and my subcontractor and or if it was a matter of financial -
strictly financial change. At this point we have some flexibility in when we get
extremely busy we could fairly easily call in some help to handle on slot of
additional work without putting on anyone has a full time position. It just gives us
some flexibility and the staffing I guess would be the best use of that. And as far
{
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 46 of 90
as I know that Gary had indicated to me he's budgeted for a Building Official and
one Building Inspector and I frankly don't think that one Building Inspector is
going to be able to keep up with the workload working and eight to five taking an
hour lunch. Because currently Steve Pierce who is working with me. Steve
doesn't always get here at eight, he gets in usually more like nine, but there's
days he's out in the field until well after 6:00. He does what it takes to do to get
the days work done, a lot of times neither one of us stop for lunch we kind of
continue on through just to get what we have to done. Currently I'm in the office
until about 11. I'm back in the office typically by four. Generally can have all of
my phone messages taken care of by five, so I guess I'm just some of it. My
question would be what would be the benefit to the city and if there's a problem
that we haven't dealt with? If there was anything I could do to change? Are
there any questions or can I answer anything specific?
Corrie: I don't k now of anything Daunt t hat reflects 0 n t hat anything that you
have done. I think it's more financial than anything else where we are. That's a
decision that Council's going to have to come up with and we may continue with
what we are doing and it's really a financial thing rather than you doing your job
because you are you know that, you are working hard at it. They will have to
make that decision and we'll let them see how they want to go and what they
want to do but I wanted to assure you unless there's something that I don't know
about that your not doing your job, you are and I think you are doing a great job.
Whitman: And I guess as far as the financial end of it. I wasn't able to get any
kind of numbers as far as what kind of percentage of total revenue is spent in
support of the Building Department. I know I've talked with Dennis Davis over in
Nampa, indicated to me that his department spends 40 to 45 percent of all the
revenue that's come in to staff the 14 some odd people that they have in their
department. I guess some 0 fit, I had some contact earlier this su mmer from
George Clomp who is Idaho Falls, and he indicated Idaho Falls is considering
going to a contract basis partly for the flexibility of staffing. They have some
different condition where their winter months are much slower over there
because their winters are much more severe. They were looking at trying to be
able to not have full time people sitting around playing computer games.
Corrie: Well we are pretty close to that 40 percent anyway so. You got a good
point there too.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Daunt I think the biggest thing is we just - I for one felt that it was time we
went ahead you know. You are a subcontract employee and if you decided to
pull out or something we could be in hot water. I think its just time Boise by doing
their things I think if by having their survey here five or six years ago and getting
MerIdian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 47 of 90
theirs turned around is definitely as set kind of a cap of how it could be done and
I realize there's pro's and con's. I like the subcontract in a lot of ways but I also
think that looking out for the city we need to be looking ahead and I think right
now at this point is where we need to start bringing our own people on board.
Our own inspectors and stuff, now whether its going to be as efficient I can't tell
you that's going to be something - its like anything else its going to depend on
who you get in there and who's running the deal. You guys have done a
tremendous job I've absolutely never heard a complaint on you. I feel that we
have got to the point where we need to for our own protection and stuff that we
need to get on with it and get our own department of that deal going. That is
mine and whether it's right wrong or different I can't tell you. ]t might prove to be
something that we shouldn't have done but I don't believe it is. I think you can do
like some of these other entities and let your departments get out of hand. We've
done that in some of our departments, not very many of them because we don't
have that much money to work on but you can look over at some of these
departments in some of these other cities and right hand doesn't know what left
hand is doing. As conservative as our people are I don't think that's going to
happen around here. I don't believe we are going to allow that to happen. That
was my reasoning behind it.
Whitman: Any questions from anyone?
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I guess Daunt at this point it's just on the table for discussion. I know
that idea has come up for the last couple of years and so we -
Whitman: How about the last 10 I think.
Corrie: I faintly remember about ten.
De Weerd: Before my time. It has nothing to do with service.
Whitman: Good. Well thank you.
Corrie: Thank you Daunt.
Smith: At this time ladies and gentleman I'll turn it over to Brad Watson and he
can start through the engineering section.
Watson: Thank you Mr. Mayor members of the Council. Hopefully J can lighten it
up a little bit here. I need to hand something out to you before I start. Are we
ready? I'll just dive in here. This presentation doesn't look a whole different from
last year, except has a lot bigger numbers in it. We can go ahead. The Public
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 48 of 90
Works Department is composed of as you know the Water, Wastewater,
Building, and Engineering Departments. We try to over the last year sort of make
a subtle change in names where we don't have all these different departments.
We have a Public Works Department with engineering water, Wastewater and
Building divisions. Currently we 62 employees, that is down from last year simply
because MUBS is now under the Finance Department. You'll see later in the
enhancements we proposed three and a half new full time employees, which
equates to about a six and a half - well about five and a half percent staff
increase. The slide simply shows the mission statement of the Public Works
Department as a whole. It has been for the last couple years and probably will
continue to be for quite some time. One in which we plan, construct, operate,
maintain, be safe, attractive, functional facilities that contribute to the community
prosperity. We now have that up on our wall in our foyer at Public Works. Gary
made sure that everyone knows exactly w hat we are there for. It looks really
good if you haven't been over. Now we get into the real numbers of what's been
going on. I know you've seen a lot of plats come before you over the last nine to
12 months. I'm not sure we all stop and count them up at times but these are the
numbers of what's actually coming through the department as a whole. These
numbers are through the first nine months of the fiscal year. The single-family
building permits alone are up 24 percent from the same time a year before.
Commercial permits almost 50 percent higher then they were for the same period
a year before. And the total permits are about 35 percent. When we look at the
numbers through the Engineering Department its just astounding what's been
coming through. Just plan review submittals are up over 60 percent. Same for
commercial plans. As you may recall about a year, year and a half ago we
instituted review and inspection fees through I think it was June 30th it was either
May 30th or June 30th we had generated a quarter of a million dollars. All those
fees are based on the number of lots or the quantity of pipe going in the ground.
We had projected a full year revenue of about 220,000 I believe and through nine
months, we're way ahead of that. In the end that will fund about 35 40 percent of
the Public Works Engineering division. The rest of the list there just shows some
of the things that we've been doing over the last year. The list could be a lot
longer but I run out of room on the slide. I don't necessarily need to bore you
with all those smaller ones. Continue to make improvements in our plan review
permitting process. Big one that you are well aware of because you approved
the design contract with J UB is the Black Cat trunk a nd lift station. It's really
moving into full swing now as far as design and it's an exciting project. The one
administrative thing that we did that maybe not all of you know about is we
moved all the new water line construction, inspection to the engineering division.
Previous to that all sewer and drainage inspection had been from our department
and we moved the water line guys, one water line inspector to our department
and they are being cross trained so that they can just take a project and see it all
the way through and I think we are already seeing some increased efficiencies
because of that. Next slide just shows some of the highlights of the water
division over the last year. Main one to point out I guess is at the top zero
bacteria hits, no boil overs. They've increased their certification. Obviously if
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17,2003
Page 49 of 90
we're approving that many subdivisions they're adding a lot of commercial
accounts. The one thing on this slide that maybe we ought to emphasize is
somewhat we changed in the way we operate and design the water system.
There's a long laundry list there of projects that probably don't mean a whole lot
to you. What we've tried to do is reduce the need for new wells. The old mind
set was that we'd put a well at Ten Mile, basically every section corner and as
you look at this map on your left if we were to do that now we would need six to
seven wells immediately. Well we haven't done that and we can't do that first
because of water rights second because just the time involved to do it. What
we've done is really increased the efficiency of what we do have by optimizing
the well system extending and tying in loops for the distribution system. The
Water Department and Len Grady have been instrumental in doing this. They
enjoy it and I don't understand at all. It's getting very very high tech, it's really
cool we w ill see a slide of it here in a little bit. Some of the highlights at the
Wastewater Department, first one I guess what everybody is usually concerned
about. Zero permit violations. They have done a really good job out there. All
the stuff that we put on line over the last couple years has really helped. It is
doing what it's supposed to. Some of you may remember we had what we call a
catastrophic failure of a sewer line crossing over a creek. Well that kind of got us
to thinking maybe we should do something about that. We've slipped lined all of
the sewer crossings and make sure that those pipes stay there forever, they
don't get corroded. You'll see a picture of that here in a little while. Again there's
a long laundry list of smaller projects that we've completed or are undervvay. The
two big ones that everyone knows about is the White Drain Trunk and the South
Slough Trunk are completed. The facility plan update, it's the road map of
everything we are doing at the Wastewater plant. Carrollo Engineers came here
about a year ago almost year ago and gave you a little dog and pony show on
everything we were going to do out there for the next 20 years. I remember that
presentation went really well and everybody seemed very interested in it. Well its
still going and they are doing a really really good job. We are about 70 percent
complete with that, should have it wrapped up here in early fall and eventually
that will come back before you because it's a facility plan. There will be a public
hearing we are required by DEQ to have a public hearing so you will see that
again and see what we've been up to and that side of things. There's a little bit
more to follow up on that with when we get into the enhancements. Again just
some other projects that Johns been working on out there computerized
(inaudible) manual from what I understand is going very well. This is more of just
a summary sheet of major projects that we are doing to expand the system to
meet the continuing growth. One thing I'll point out for the second time is that
you see five wells fifth line and that seems like a lot but again if we were doing it
the way we used to we would be looking at about ten of them up there right now.
I'm going to give you some more numbers. This one just amazed me when we
pulled it up. I had Keri Glen in our department go through and count up every
invoice we have charged a review for and add up the footage of lines. When she
first emailedthistome, I didn't believe her. Double-checked and that's what it is
34 miles of water and 24 sewer and then combined another 12 that the city has
Meridian City Council SpecIal Budget Workshop
July 17,2003
Page 50 of 90
done over the last year. Total of 70 miles go in in one year. Like I was telling
these guys that's almost all the way to Cascade, almost. That's a fairly long
drive. This slide is what you see on the easel in front of you it is a little
misleading on how it reads the right access that goes from 0 to 140 is adding up
the commercial building permits that have been issued over the years. The blue
bars correspond to the left access that goes up to 1,400. The 2003 numbers are
simply doubling what's happened over the first six months of the calendar year.
As you can see we are at the highest levels ever both residential and
commercial. All those plats that have been approved are coming through in a big
way. This is the final statistic I think I will give you. As a matter of signing plats I
track these date in, d ate of review, date 0 f signature t hat whole thing. Weill
started thinking maybe I should add up the number of lots as well that are in my
office. Just since January first there have been 1,300 lots submitted and that
doesn't even include final plats that you have approved that haven't come to my
office yet. There is another 850 or so. In six months, we are looking at about
2,350 r esidentiall ots t hat a re being platted that means they are ready to sell.
Somebody say they are doing really well or there is going to be a lot of empty
houses this winter, we can't quite figure it out but they are proceeding through.
Commercial is just as crazy. We have over 100 lots in commercial subdivisions
just this year. I guess that wasn't the last number statistic thing. This one just
concentrates on the North Meridian area. It's amazing to me that the city can
build a sewer truck and it was like igniting a grass fire out there. This isn't even
totally up to date because of the subdivision that was approved Tuesday night. I
think it was called Birchstone. Those that have already seen preliminary plat
approval total over 1,800 acres 4,600 residential lots. It's filling up fast. Those
were the numbers here's the picture that shows what's happening up there. The
green are the preliminary plats that you have approved the blue are projects that
they are working with staff on they haven't formally submitted yet. They are
having pre-app meetings and phone calls that whole pre-design questions.
Again this isn't up to date because this one withdrew Tuesday night. However
the very next morning this guy called me to talk about how he was going to sewer
it and how he was going to submit that project. I think the next page in your
packet is just a bigger version of that. It's a little easier to read. What does that
all mean to us in our planning. As Mr. Shawcroft can point out it takes a long
time to build treatment facilities. We thought we were doing pretty well with all
the projects we had done over the last three of four years and with all this growth,
it's making me a little nervous. Its making John really nervous. We put together
this little sheet to show what we have planned that's not in this next years
enhancements but will be following in probably 05 06. On the waterside of
things, we do have to do more wells. Just not as many as we would have
previously needed. Of course we have line extensions just to increase that
efficiency. On the wastewater side of things it gets even scarier. We've got
approximately eight million dollars that's going to need to be spent over the next
three to four years. (Inaudible) not only provide additional treatment capacity but
they will provide some redundancy to John so he can take these units out of
operation and do some really mandatory maintenance on those things. There
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 51 of 90
are a couple other potential projects that Carollo is looking at as part of the
facility plan update that may be required. The big one I think were all really
worried about is the phosphorus removal. That 2.5 million is a shot in the dark.
And it all goes back to the Snake River Hells Canyon TMDL and how that affects
the lower Boise TMDL. Right now with the lower Boise TMDL all they did is put
limitations on sediment and bacteria and we are fine with that there are no added
requirements but the phosphorus that's a big issue. If anyone has any questions
please interrupt me.
Corrie: As head of the environmental committee for AIC. 0 n t his phosphate
removal are the cities going to be responsible for everything even though they
can't even know where it's coming from?
Watson: Mr. Mayor that's a great question. I think the way they should be
structured and the implementation plan obviously hasn't been written yet but the
way it should be structured is that there would be a uniform increase across point
sources, which we a re a n on point sources. Which really equates to A G and
stormwater, which can be municipal, or obviously ACHD. However after that
plan is implemented and if it proves out that its not improving water quality there
is only one place to go and that's the point sources. Our consultant Carollo
Engineers has been very - it was a very good choice that we made because they
have been working in the Provo, Park City, Salt Lake area on similar issues and
we think we have it bad here on some of these water quality issues. Go to Park
City and I can't remember the name of that river but it's astounding what they
have to treat too, but they've done it so they know what we need to do here.
They are working very closely with DEQ on that issue.
Corrie: Thank you.
Watson: The bottom table on that slide is something that I just put together after
the little COMPASS summary that came out earlier this week or late last week. It
showed about two and a half years since the census an annual growth of about
eight percent. I thought well what if. That what if is in five years, five budget
years we would be looking 67,000 people. The whole reason we look at this is
because that turns into gallons at the wastewater plant and that's why weare
trying to bump up our schedule on those improvements. Following slides are just
some typical development around the city. I don't know if you all get a chance to
drive around very much and see what's happening. I don't seem to because
some of these I've never seen. Well I've seen Cedar Springs, that's pretty close
in. I think their fourth phase is coming in for plan review now. Havasu Creek,
F arwest project upon Locust Grove Road. They submitted I don't know how
many phases of this project at the same time for construction, four or five
something like that. They are going great guns. Just another couple picture of
the Tuscany Messina Hills complex out there that Westpark is doing. This is the
last one I'll bore you with. This is Bonito Subdivision used to be EI Dorado that
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 52 of 90
Winston Moore Company is doing. Its about 80 acres that's being developed all
at once for commercial sites.
De Weerd: Why are they always changing the names to these subdivisions?
Watson: I thought that the county did reserve names up front before it was
submitted but -
(Inaudible discussion)
De Weerd: They just want to confuse us.
Watson: I think particularly in Autumn Faire Sub 0 nce it got to Mr. Priester's
office for some reason it was rejected it was too close to something else so the
engineer who is actually a friend of mine, his wife's name is Tricia, so he was just
trying to get it submitted. How about this? T hat's the story behind that 0 ne.
We'll just run through a couple of the wastewater projects. We've already
summarized them up front in this report but we have a few pictures to go a long
with the words. This is the central SCADA monitoring screen at the wastewater
plant. We have done some work on that this year that was budgeted. You'll see
enhancements we are proposing to fund that again to even further refine the
capability of this system. Anything we can do with SCADA whether its water
systems wastewater ita II increases the efficiency and reduces manpower a nd
reliability. Just the on going DAFF project out at the wastewater plant. This is a
bit of a hold over from last year but a year ago we had just started this project. In
fact that picture on the left you'll notice it's in last year's packet, pretty early in the
project. The picture on the right is, the pipe is in the ground, and it went right
along that dirt road by Mr. Cooper's place who has a bunch 0 f mules I think.
Anyway I just wanted to show that to you. There are stories behind all of these
people. Speaking of stories this is the South Slough sewer and water project.
This is Carols Subdivision after its been completed believe it or not. That's what
it ended up looking like. Len Grady watched this project and I don't think I even
know all the stories that he knows out there but we got to know quite a few of
these people pretty well. It was an interesting project, it was very difficult to
coordinate. There were a lot of access issues during construction and I believe
there is an annexation application coming to you in the next month or so for
some of these properties out here. It's all done and I think 95 96 percent of the
people out there are happy with what finally got done.
De Weerd: Good.
Watson: This is just a picture of the slip lining project that I thought was pretty
interesting what it is is they have this flexible sock for lack of a better word that
they insert into a sewer line and then it has some resin in it and then they pump
heated water through it that cures the resin. It just conforms to the inside of the
pipe. It's a material that's corrosion resistant. It's really a neat process.
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 53 of 90
Somewhat expensive process but compared to the alternative its good. You'll
notice he's not here in the audience but our collection system manager Fred
Putzier is there in the white t-shirt chatting up the boys. Just a little more heavy
construction going 0 n 0 ut at the plant. There's been very few weeks 0 r days
even over the last seven years since I've been here that there hasn't been
something dug up out there. Just another picture. This is a little more detailed
slide of the Black Cat lift station sewer project. It shows a revised service area
based on what JUB has done already to this point. They've determined that we
can serve a little bit more west of Black Cat Road then we originally thought with
out master plan and that's just based on on the ground surveying. We're hoping
you'll see this enhancement in the wastewater section, this is probably the
biggest enhancement you'll ever see, well that you've seen so far for this project.
What we are hoping to do is if you approve that start construction on portions of
that project this winter early spring. We are going to try and break it up into four
or five different phases so that we don't have to wait for that last part to be fully
approved and designed before we can start the whole project. A couple other
smaller wastewater treatment plant projects they paved all the entrance and the
interior roads out there. They were just so torn up after all the construction over
the years that they were sinking in. So we did that project that you approved last
year. A Iso installed a standby diesel tank out there that's half full. N 0 its an
inside thing with Stacy. It's half full for sure though. A few water projects. Again
this is the telemetry screen at the Water Department that shows instantaneously
what's going on with all the wells, the reservoirs its getting again from what I
understand very advanced. Len and Chip Hudson and Jaime Allen out at the
Water Department have really put a lot of time and effort in to this. They've done
a really good job. This just shows a boring pit, we've done a lot of boring over
the I ast year, we h ad three of them 0 n the South Slough project a nd we a Iso
crossed 1-84 just recently with a 16 inch water line that will really really help the
pressures in the Saint Luke's, Touchmark, Silverstone area. [t was really needed
and it's going to be a good addition. I just thought that was a neat picture that
really shows the size of what goes on out there -
De Weerd: That is a neat picture.
Watson: From what I was told on this project they bored really easily about 200
feet all the way through and then they ran into problems. They had to send a guy
on a little skateboard or whatever all the way down so he could weld off the end
of it and weld new driving shoes on the end of it.
De Weerd: Wow.
Watson: I don't know how much that guy would be paid but it would have to be a
lot. That hole would look like a pin prick that far in. Anyway this is the inside of
the water tower that was coated and this I think we showed you some of this
about a year ago. It was underway at that time. This was just a neat little

picture, it shows the inside of it. I'd never seen the inside of it so thought maybe
you'd enjoy it too.
De Weerd: So how did you get the picture?
Watson: Len do you know how?
Grady: (Inaudible).
Watson: Standing at the bottom of the bulb.
De Weerd: Cool.
Corrie: You can save these pictures. I have a place for them.
Watson: These are all digital pictures. They are all saved and they can be used.
How many pictures of this do you have? A couple hundred?
Corrie: (inaudible) good thank you.
Watson: Every year we have to show you a well, pump house that's under
construction. This is this year's version. Its out at Tumble Creek number 24.
Primary purpose behind this one is to push flow to the north Meridian area.
You'll in enhancement five under the Water Department that we've included
amongst a couple other things money for an additional lot. This well lot was
donated to the city years and years ago and it's 100 by 100 which used to be the
minimum it still is the absolute minimum that DEQ will accept. We've learned
that there are some cases where we need replacement wells right next to the
well house and in even some cases possibly some sort of treatment. This one is
just crammed into this little Jot and the entrance off Linder Road is just north of
this one lot. There is one vacant lot between this building and the main entrance
and it's really not a very good spot for building a house. We've talked to the
developer of that and I think we've come to at least a verbal agreement on that
but you'll see some money in there for that. This is a laundry list of non-capital
improvement projects that the department has worked on over the last year.
We've updated the standards specifications and drawings last fall, issued those
to all the consultants and contractors that we could get a name for. Again we
continue to streamline plan review process almost, well is seems like daily, but its
probably just every week or two. DEQ completed a state, well it's an EPA
required source water assessment of our system. This took a lot of time and that
we felt that the assessment they did was very poor. We had a hydrological
consultant draft his own source water assessment, which we were allowed to do
which was very good but they rejected. So we did get this all put to bed and
we've required or we've complied with both DEQ and EPA. Gary has spent
numerous hours working with water rights and the issues with United Water and
their integrated municipal application package. That is ongoing that will continue
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17,2003
Page 55 of 90
for quite a while I think. We've also started another EPA mandated project it's
the water system vulnerability analysis and that is required to be done I think next
June. Required byE PA to be done. That legislation 0 r t hat mandate was in
response to September 11 th incident. We may have discussed this with you
maybe not -
***End of Side Four***
Watson: - you'll notice there's money additional money in the enhancements to
do the second part of that project next year, which is the actual safety manual,
which is really a collection of policies, and procedures that we'll implement. Then
just a couple other minor things. Plat submittal procedure and as you remember
the standardized easement acquisition policy for the Black Cat trunk. Those are
just a handful, there like I said at the beginning we could probably put three or
four pages together but those are the highlights. This next slide is one that you
didn't see last year and [ just thought we'd put it in and it just kind of shows you
we do know what we are doing most of the time. We've bid probably 30 projects
over the last couple years. We did have a very very high profile project that had
some bidding irregularities and I'm sure you all remember that because the two
contractors and their attorneys were standing here in a hearing before you.
Other than that we've everything has worked very very well, we've done some
requests for proposals for professional services, those have all gone very well.
This caught my ear when the Fire Department came up a couple weeks ago that
it sounded like maybe there was a problem with (inaudible) or something. I didn't
quite understand the whole problem but I just asked Len to put together a list of
all the projects that we bid and see what our track record is. That's what it is. I
think we already talked about this as a Building Department enhancement. Okay
I get a break. I'm going to ask Rick to come up here and talk to you a little bit
about the Water Department enhancements and if you have any questions on
those either he or I will be glad to assist you and if you have any questions
before I sit down and what we have already done I'll be glad to answer those.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I really don't have any questions but I did want to take the
opportunity since a lot of the supervisors are here. First you mentioned the Fire
Department. Public Works I think the Water Department have just been
phenomenal in getting the safe house up and going. They've donated a lot of
time in helping pull the plans together, finding donations and all of that. We really
appreciate that it really showed a great collaboration between all the departments
to get that going and that's such a neat project to begin with. I appreciate that.
Also I know I had sent emails to both Rick and John when you sent out your
annual reports. I think that the work that the departments are doing is
outstanding and you know I believe that the Mayor said at the time that it isn't
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 56 of 90
until we have something fail that we really realize how important the behind the
scene work really is and so that is very much appreciated. With regards to Public
Works I know every time we approve something, we really don't understand the
implications it has on our staff time. The numbers that you have pulled together
just really underscore how demanding the work is that you all do and what you
pull together and its very appreciated. How you got through the South Slough
and the White Trunk work I think those have been projects that since Cherie and
I have been on have been talked about, its nice to see those coming to
completion and seeing that you get to now move on to the Ten Mile Trunk or
Black Cat Trunk, that's just exciting.
Watson: Thank you.
De Weerd: Just an appreciation for jobs well done.
Watson: Thank you. I appreciate those comments. There are probably a lot of
people here that should be hearing that that aren't. That is doing a lot more of
the work then just us.
Corrie: To piggyback on that I just thought about if the Council would be willing is
to have department heads do this twice a year rather then once a year to really
inform us of what's going on. Once a year is great but twice a year you get better
exposure to what you guys and gals are really doing. I think if the Council might
agree or they might not but I think that's what - we can take an afternoon and
invite the public too to hear it and see what we are really doing. We got to toot
our own horn a little bit here. You guys are doing a great job and let them know
about it. We get a lot of the complaints but they don't here the good parts. Think
about that. It's a lot of work for you but its good (inaudible).
Watson: Well thank you. I don't think that's a bad idea at all. The opportunity
rarely arises. I'm sort of sadistic in that I look forward to these to let you know
what's going on.
Corrie: Good.
Watson: Because the opportunity doesn't arise to let that.
De Weerd: Well I know that John doesn't.
Corrie: I don't know about the sadistic part but.
Watson: I'm dragging Donny and Danny and (inaudible) and all these guys every
time. It is good we don't bring these things up quite a bit because you have a lot
on your plate. This is kind of fun.
Corrie: Thank you.
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop

Watson: I guess if there are no more questions I'll have Rick come up here and
we'll start going through water.
Corrie: Okay.
WATER DEPARTMENT
Clinton: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council. Thank you Brad. Do we need a
seventh inning stretch or are we doing okay?
Bird: Fine.
De Weerd: Still can't get used to you without all that hair on your face.
Clinton: Well wait a few months. I'll start it in September.
Nary: The whole subject has us on the edge of our seats.
De Weerd: No that's sewer.
Clinton: Well I would like to take an opportunity to first of all to somewhat
capitalize - can everybody hear me okay? Okay. To capitalize on Mayor
Corrie's comment. If I could ask Don Case I've got a visual aid that I'd like to
have s end a round to somewhat demonstrate t he value 0 f the product that we
deliver to the customers. To somewhat put some perspective on price of a gallon
of water.
Nary: We need that for the public record.
Corrie: This is coming from water not from wastewater?
Clinton: Correct. Wastewater will follow.
De Weerd: We hope it was a little bit-
Clinton: That's for display purposes only?
De Weerd: Rick I hope it's easier to understand then that letter you sent out.
What all those levels meant. I think it was good. Well Gary's cover memo said it
was good.
Clinton: In a nutshell with our current rates one penny will buy you 10 gallons of
water.
McCandless: Clear water?
Meridian City Council Speclcll Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 58 of 90
Clinton: Clear water. It's probably worth pointing out to that the bottled water is
not subjected to the testing requirements that the drinking water is.
De Weerd: That's cool.
Clinton: Thank you.
De Weerd: We need to just set it up here.
Clinton: Well what I actually would hope to be able to do is that after this
presentation is I've spoke to Leslie about actually placing it as a display on the
MUBS counter so that it somewhat emphasizes and that's why the display only
disclaimer at the bottom.
De Weerd: You may want to change the water every couple days.
Clinton: Exactly.
De Weerd: Just so it doesn't turn green or anything.
Corrie: I'm going to ignore that remark. If you would like to put a gallon a week
in my office, I'll take it.
Nary: Maybe we should be selling that as some way to make money.
Clinton: Well it's prompted some interest. I guess I'll start out here with
enhancement Number 1. I t's increasing a p art time office person to full time.
Primarily our interest is in addressing additional customer service needs with this
increased comes increased demands on our staff across all aspects. This is just
a way to try and continue to improve our customer service. I'll keep moving
along and I do recall from last year some interest or appreciation for not dragging
this 0 ut sol 'II keep moving if you guys have any questions you can s top me.
Enhancement Number 2. This is a request for an additional work person
position. One thing that's probably worth pointing out, currently in the State of
Idaho it is now mandatory for water certification and there's really no place you
can go and take schooling and achieve operator certification to a level two, three
or four. It's very similar to an apprenticeship program. These work person
positions are very important to us. They are an entry-level position that allows a
good qualified individual to start learning the trade and working their way through
the certification process because there is no real pool of personnel out there
other then the purveyors to provide these operators. Number 3. This is the
capital outlay for existing wells. .~ I think Brad touched a little bit on the telemetry
upgrades. It really came to my attention yesterday through a little bit of an issue
that our telemetry system is - and the improvements to our telemetry system are
very valuable. We had some flow problems yesterday, we were able to - Len
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 59 of 90
and Chip and Jaime were able to really key in on what was going on with our
wells because of these enhanced improvements to the telemetry system. If there
were technical questions I'd have to refer them to Len, he's the man to ask those
questions to but its certainly improving the productivity of the wells or the
efficiency of the wells as Brad had addressed minimizing the need for new wells.
Number 4. Number 4 is consulting. Probably t he biggest 0 ne is 0 ur Ram W
consulting which I think Brad had addressed a little bit earlier. It is a mandate I
think it originally came through the homeland security from the 911 incident.
We've got a pretty tight timeline on that and it's a very significant task we need to
achieve. The safety manual I think Brad addressed a little bit already. One thing
I think is real important to address here is that I'm asking for half of the funds
from Water, John will be asking for the other half for Wastewater and we really
need to balance those so that both ends are funded so that we can achieve the
completion of this manual. I think in one of the past years I was funded, Jon
wasn't, and that handicapped us. If I can point that out. The last one is water
rights (inaudible). Number 5. Water main extensions are a big one. Public
Works has been very, very, very active in putting a lot of water main in the
ground. There is a very substantial list in your enhancements that there's a lot of
water main that - I'm very proud of the distribution system that's being developed.
Number 6 is addition of two more wells. Actually, each of these were partially
funded last year and this is just the remaining funding to allow us to complete
these two wells. I believe that actually concludes the enhancement request for
the Water Department. Are there questions?
Corrie: There was one that you had a homeland security mandate. There are
grants, I mean not grants but payments by homeland security I think we might
look at. I get them every so often in my email and I'm going to send those over
to you and then let you maybe follow up on or if you need my help to follow up on
them. They are asking that they can pay for some of them - I haven't seen a lot
of money yet, but they've appropriated a lot of money but nobody seems to get it
yet. I'll send them over to you.
Clinton: Okay. One of the critical things with that is the timeline and securing the
funds.
Corrie: Right.
Clinton: Because of our deadline.
Corrie: They pay you back. That's what we like to have.
Clinton: Does anybody else have any other questions? Thank you very much.
De Weerd: Thank you. Wish I could of given you a hard time but.
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop

Corrie: Well from what I understand it's coming later, we want to give you a hard
time. They'll understand what I meant by that after a bit.
Clinton: I'll turn it over to John.
WASTEWATER DEPARTMENT
(Inaudible discussion)
Shawcroft: As Rick pointed out it seems like we just did this a year ago.
De Weerd: It's always good to start with (inaudible), right?
Shawcroft: Well it is my pleasure to present the Wastewater enhancements for
the upcoming budget year. We exist as it says to provide reliable, continuous,
safe and economical sewer service to our customers. We protect public health
downstream water users and the environment, in a nutshell. My first
enhancement is to ask for two operators. One of them being a chief operator
and the other, it says level three but we say that in case we can hire one, it'll
probably be a level one or a level two operator. That seems to be what will
probably be available. We are doing this - one thing we want to do is to go to a
24 hour a day manning the plant that will decrease our response time in case
something goes wrong. This is because of the complexity of the wastewater
plant has increased over the years. Another thing it does is it enhances the
security of the wastewater plant. As the city has grown the subdivisions have
continued to come closer and closer and closer and so we can see where one
vandal or a couple of them getting in when we're not there could really screw
things up. With the investment that we have in this wastewater plant, it just
seems appropriate that we take action and protect that investment. Also right
now Rick's involved with Ram W, the wastewater part is coming down the road
and right now. I think May of this year wastewater certification for operators
became mandatory. Out of the 50 states, we were the last one to give in and
adopt that.
Nary: Big surprise. So John with the two people that'll put you to being able to
be 24 hours.
Shawcroft: Yes we will be able to rearrange the scheduling of all the people we
have and get 24 hour a day, seven-day a week operation or manned operation.
One of the other things that it will do is to lighten the workload of my present chief
operator who puts in probably in the neighborhood of 55 or 60 hours a week and
has supervises what is it Brent 13 people? 12, which means all the
administrative duties, go along with that as well not just the operation of the plant.
It's significant. Enhancement two is small wastewater plant upgrades. These
are the small things we like to improve every year. One is a genset Number 1
relocation, its generator Number 1 is a 1 978 vintage so it's in the mechanical
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 61 of 90
building and it currently is in t he way 0 fa dding any more equipment into that
building. One of the easiest things to do is just move and we do have a place
just outside the building that we could locate it to. Standby digester mixer, its
actually a spare mixer, a whole complete there. We have four of them two on
each digester, one on each side and to get parts and to repair it usually takes
several days. While that's out then that digester loses efficiency. What we
propose to do is to buy a whole complete one, change it out if we have to and
then work on the other one at leisure. (Inaudible) building air conditioning. Its
not really an air conditioning, we just need some methodology to tone down the
heat inside that building on the hottest parts of the summer we do have some of
our blowers tripping on high temperature. We need to [ower that overall
temperature inside the building. Add a digester condensate removal, right now
we do burn our methane after we run it through a scrubber. Because of the high
temperatures that we run our digesters at its 135 degrees a 133 degrees
Fahrenheit we get a lot of water in the gas and it comes over and what it tends to
do is bleed the scrubber media out and reduce its effective life. And when we
run that scrubber and burn methane we save about 4,000 dollars a month on
natural gas costs so it's well worth getting the water out. We want to enclose a
couple of truck bays. The bays that exist are just open to the atmosphere and
not heated and it would allow us to make sure that in the middle of winter what
we put in there will start. Of course, we want to pave the approach to the fuel
tank and that 5,000-gallon fuel tank is currently being utilized by water and
wastewater in our emergency generators. We figure on a total power outage we
can keep services up and running for about a week if that thing is full when we
start. All right. Enhancement three, consulting of professional services. Here
again is the safety manual that's the funding for the wastewater half of that.
NPDES permit application is due to EPA April 4, 2004. That's in this budget to
prepare that. That's a document that when we send it its about a inch and a half
thick. The bio solids permit is due at the same time, in fact it maybe due just a
hair earlier. The pretreatment program EPA is requiring us at this current time to
revisit our local limits that are in our pretreatment ordinance and that's going to
require some sampling and some calculations and we need a consultant to help
us to do that. The last two. The ONM manual and the SCADA expansions are in
the professional services part and since they are non capital the monies cannot
be carried forward so we have to rebudget for that. That's just to complete those
projects that we funded last year. Mobile lift station generator we need to buy
another trailer mounted generator. We currently have one and it's a 40 KW set
but it will not start the pumps at Ashford Greens lift station. In an extended
power outage, we can pump every lift station but that one. What we intend to do
is buy another one that will start those pumps and will also give us redundancy
because it will also run all the other lift stations as well so we can be out there in
a power outage with two generators routinely walking through and pumping the
lift stations down. Keeping people in sewer service. Lift station SCADA system
right now we go out twice a day to every lift station and how many are there?
13? See I always got 13 stuck in my head. 12. What we intend to do is radio
link those to our SCADA system and by doing that we can see how the pumps
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 62 of 90
are performing and watch the levels pump up and down and we can reduce our
visits to once a week instead of twice a day. Build out improvements. As Brad
alluded to we are doing the facility plan this Carollo Engineers and we are
headed for the five MGD mark. Last year we treated 1.5 billion gallons of
sewage and we can typically build a trunk main in about a year and a half but to
build a clarifier or anything in plant takes two and a half to three years. We have
to be ahead of that curve and so that's what this is designed to do. Not only
complete the facility plan and present that to DEQ but also to get ahead of our
growth curve. Black Cat trunk line lift station I'm going to turn this over to Brad
this is more his fun stuff.
Smith: Mr. Mayor and Council. I need to leave. Before I go though I do want to
say a very special thank you for all your support in the past. We don't get where
we are without that. Again I also extend a very special thank you to all of our
staff and the work that they do, the results that we have that we are very proud of
has just directed proportional to their abilities and their knowledge and I'm very
appreciative of that personally so thank you very much.
Shawcroft: And before I relinquish the microphone. I too would like to extend my
thank you to Dan Higgs and Brent Grover. Although I run a wastewater
department these two gentlemen run the wastewater plant. And they are the
reason that we had zero violations last year. Thank you.
De Weerd: Good job.
Watson: I believe we are on the Black Cat enhancement. I gave you a
forewarning earlier t his afternoon a bout the immensity of t hat one. I think we
plugged in six million dollars for that project. That was the estimate that JUB put
together when they did the Ten Mile Interchange sewer study about a year ago.
What we intend to do here in the next couple months is convene what we are
calling a finance steering committee and I think I've warned you about this before
too. We are hoping to have the help of the Attorneys office, the Finance
Department and at least one Councilperson to sit in on that. Take the place of
the Fence Committee I guess.
De Weerd: Bill is under the assigned (inaudible).
Corrie: Get rid of the fences (inaudible).
Watson: That's what I figured. Although we are requesting funding of this
project out of the fund balance we do want to put together a steering committee
that would figure out how these properties will contribute to the project once they
are either annexed or whatever trigger mechanism there is. I guess that's the
point of the steering committee. We hope to have not only those members but
maybe a developer or two that has property or is interested in property in that
area, maybe a consulting engineer that works with developers quite a bit come in
Meridian City Council SpeCI<:l1 Budget Workshop
July 17,2003
Page 63 of 90
and sit on that. There will be a plan in place to recoop that money but what we
are asking for in interest in getting this project started and constructed is funding
of s ix million. Before I goo n I can certainly a nswer any questions you might
have on that. There's enhancement number eight is the slide on the screen
doesn't match the slide that's in your book. I updated it at the 1 1lh h our this
morning or late yesterday. These are just a few of the projects that are separate
from the Black Cat trunk. Three of the four are joint projects that we will be doing
with ACHD Franklin Road rebuild, Locust Grove rebuild and they are also doing a
drainage project down 3rd Street and across Broadway that I think we are going
to have to do some sewer replacement or remediation on. The fourth one is a
catch all there isn't a designated project that goes with that 200,000 dollars but it
seems like every year something comes up either during applications or
something where we need to build something. We have kind of kept that in
there. Well the last couple years we've had this line item called sewer line
extensions, which was supposed to be for the white trunk, and with your approval
we've been using that for these other small projects. A good example would be
the Locust Grove sewer extension up to the Charter High School that they're
building. Valley Life Christian Church is up there as well. The last one is one
that didn't make it into the Finance Department and it is therefore not in your
budget packets. If you read that it will sort of explain what has happened, as you
most certainly will recall during the Paramount Subdivision annexation public
hearing the issue of sewer easements was first and for most in everyone's mind,
I think at least for a while. During that testimony I suggested that perhaps the
city should initiate this project toe omplete the North Slough Trunk sot hat we
didn't have a 0 ne-mile square island 0 ut in no mans land. My selfish reason
behind that is so I don't have a bunch of lift station proposals coming in on that
section of land as well. I brought this before you and I probably should've given
Stacy some forewarning on this but I plugged it in a day or two ago bringing this
more for discussion sake then anything. I do have an estimate in there of about
1.02 million that if you direct us to we will certainly put that in. I'll move on if there
are no questions on that.
Bird: You're putting in aren't you?
Watson: Excuse me?
Bird: You are putting it in aren't you?
Watson: Because this came after we submitted to finance I will put it in if you
direct me too and Stacy allows me too.
Bird: I think we need to. I think this is something that's very very important.
Something that's going to be happening.
Nary: Mr. Mayor.
Meridian City Council Specldl Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 64 of 90
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I guess the only question I'd have is we're talking about that fairly large
project of Black Cat of putting some of that money aside in this next budget year
towards that. I mean just from a management standpoint is this of that same
magnitude, is this going to be something realistically that can really be done to
any degree in the next budget year or do you think its something that really we
need to do some preliminary stuff at this point? You just don't want to get your
plate so full that really - that you are kind of strapped by everything.
Watson: Sure, appreciate that. The plate is already really really full so I'm not
sure the magnitude of this project-
Nary: You need a bigger plate.
Watson: Right we need a bigger plate. The magnitude of this project would be
equivalent to say half of the White Trunk project. I mean it's big but it's not even
close to the same magnitude as the Black Cat project. The hardest part of this
project would in my soul opinion will be easement acquisition. Design will not be
difficult at all. Construction once the easements are granted should not be
difficult at all.
Nary: So in that projected easement legal costs there if you are saying that's - I
mean is that an adequate number, obviously it's a guesstimate to some degree
anyway but and is that done in house or is that done through consultants? Isn't
that how we've done them. Weill guess we've done them both ways depending
on the magnitude.
Watson: Right. Council Member Nary I think anything we do of any magnitude is
going to be through a consultant, the easement acquisition process. When I say
the easement acquisition will be the most difficult part I don't necessarily mean
the costs or the - I'm trying to be politically correct here.
Nary: Or the time it takes to get that.
Watson: There may be some ideological differences between the proposed
grantors and we. If we were to do that through consultants or something then
that would at least wouldn't add the same level to your plate. [t just seems to me
that if we divide up to many things all at once it just really straps you even more
then what you have to do. If that's something were the biggest bulk of the project
is going to be working through those issues of easement acquisition and they're
done through an outside consultant then that sounds like that would at least
won't raise the level of your departments workload more then the normal
everyday strapped workload that you have now.
Meridian City Council SpeclClI Budget Workshop
July 17,2003
Page 65 of 90
Watson: Right I think you've hit it square. It will increase the workload no doubt
because we have to coordinate and evaluate everything they submit and
everything they propose to do but we have learned a tremendous amount on the
White Trunk and the South Slough projects on how to handle these. It's been
very educational and I think we're not perfect but we are getting better.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I guess what Councilman Nary is brought up is this needs to be kind
of your call. If you feel that your staff is not going to be overloaded by adding this
to the budget request then you know we would be willing to support that request.
We just don't want it to overburden the staff that we get Jow moral or you know
you can't do it al.
Watson: Right Council Member de Weerd. The alternative in this particular case
is I alluded to you earlier is I get four, five or six different proposals for lift stations
in that area and those affect me personally more then this project would because
those are huge time consumers.
De Weerd: I don't see why that would be an issue if we don't have services there
and we have a designated line that those go on it can't be built yet. Unless they
want to bring the line out there themselves.
Watson: Unfortunately the way the process works and maybe its fortunate for
you you don't get to see this. Is that these proposals come in and they want to
meet with me. I tell them no, they go hire an engineer and they do some
preliminary engineering, they submit it to me and I have to evaluate it and tell
them its ultimately the Councils decision but my recommendation will be no.
Then they say okay, then they prepare the application and they will come to you
and we will still say no. It still work, even if I say no up front on a lift station they
can still bring it to you. The application that was withdrawn Tuesday night was
that very case. Where I met with them repeatedly over the course of a couple
months and evaluated what they did and told them no no no. It went all the way
forward until it was right before you. They withdrew so it is work.
Nary: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I think again too as Council member Bird said a minute ago. I mean if we
don't at least consider it this year we will be considering it next year. I mean I
think it's more of a division of work and can the work get all done. I guess from
what I'm hearing is this isn't really going to raise the bar tremendously as some
of these other ones will. I mean so its doable is what I guess I'm sort of hearing.

Watson: I think it's doable and I guess when it comes right down to it my
recommendation would be to include it. It may not be done in fiscal year 04
completed but if I can tell a developer out there that this is funded and it's a city
project and to just wait we don't want your lift station wait that goes a long ways.
De Weerd: So it's going to be a wash essentially. Either if we don't fund it you'll
spend the time and fighting the applicants against it and if we do do it you can do
it a little bit more on your time.
Watson: If it is funded right I can usually manage to put them off and say have
some patience it's coming. Just a summary of what John talked about is listed
out there for quick reference if you want to tab that sheet for future reference. On
the North Slough I guess I will proceed to prepare on enhancement number nine
and submit it to the Finance Department to include in your packets unless I hear
otherwise.
Corrie: Good.
Watson: All right we've got one more little section. Well medium sized section to
go through if you want to take a break. I'm in no hurry but I can certainly go
through it if you are ready.
Bird: Let's go.
Corrie: Go ahead.
Watson: All right. We are going to jump into the engineering division
enhancements. These are pretty mundane most of them. First one I don't
actually remember what the dollar value is pretty small its just some
housekeeping things that we need to take care of. We learned that when we
move water inspection to our department and all the tools that they come with we
don't have any place to secure those tools. We need to enclose the pickups that
they have the beds with some shells so that they can lock those up. The rest of it
is just more furniture basically in our department. Our file cabinets are full are
plan racks are full and we just got stuff stacked on floors to much right now.
Enhancement Number 2 is the addition of two field inspectors as I mentioned we
moved one of the two water line inspectors who engineering so we have three
field inspectors now. Whereas four people were doing it previously so what we
were trying to do is fill the one that didn't come over in addition with all the city
projects and just the overall growth rate we are feeling like that we probably need
a fifth one. These guys are out in the field so much right now that we are finding
that perhaps there a dministrative responsibilities, record keeping, updating the
drawings is perhaps to the point we would like it to be. We want to make sure
these guys get some office time and are able to do that. We have two new field
inspectors slotted in there. Enhancement Number 3 is really the only big one
Meridian City Council SpeCli::l1 Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 67 of 90
that we have and I think there is some interest on the Council about this project.
Len can probably speak to it a lot more clearly then I can but last year you
funded a needs assessment a GIS needs assessments and HGR Engineers
completed that. Basically it was a road map to tell us three things. What we
need in terms of software, hardware and personnel to have a computer based
G IS system that would meet what we told them we wanted it to do. And what we
told them we wanted it to do was be a platform where we had not only land use
which would include property owner just all the stuff that comes with Archview
that I think a lot of you are familiar with. Also to incorporate facilities, computer
modeling that Len and I do, maintenance inventories that John's staff does. Rick
has a lot of stuff that he does whether its tracking complaints, brown water calls,
they track a bunch of stuff I don't know what it is. But it's a lot. We are trying to
figure out a place where we can have all of that information in one spot. Right
now if somebody comes into our department and asks about this sewer line on
East 3rd Street north of Broadway or whatever I don't know anyplace. Those
poor ladies at the front they have no idea where to start. They come back and
they ask Bruce Stewart what project was that put in with? He doesn't know, well
actually he does know but if he's not there, he knows everything. They'll ask me
they'll ask Gary they'll ask Bruce they just go on down the line. This is how we
find plans right now. I s who ahs been a round long enough to remember that
project and who did it. Rick could probably talk to that one for hours. When I first
came to work here I bugged him way too much. Anyway that's the goal of this
and we are proposing 150,000 dollars to get going in this. It includes money for
both consulting which is how to build a system and it includes money for
hardware. Fourth and final enhancement is pretty small. This GPS unit goes
somewhat hand in hand with GIS we are just kind of getting our foot in the door
with both of them. This is I think Submeter GPS unit that we are going to rotate
amongst couple different departments and personnel including inspectors,
(inaudible), perhaps meter readers. Just to see how we can use that data so that
they can locate things in the field bring it in and we download it and we know
exactly where it is. The way we are doing record drawings right now is probably
not really efficient, its much better then it was five years ago but there are still
things that we don't know where they are. Or we don't know precisely where
they are. I think if that's a success in another year you'll probably see us here
asking for multiple GPS units. That's followed just by a slide of summary slide.
We are getting to the end. We started out with a mission statement. We'll wind it
down with what I think was our vision statement in our strategic plan. We don't
see it easing up in terms of growth and in terms of expectations or in terms of
regulatory complaints. Those are the three driving factors that make us do
everything we do. I'm not quite sure of this is mission, vision or exactly what it
was but I think it was in our strategic plan. This is our final feel good statement of
the whole packet. I think -

Watson: - I liked it so we kept it in there. That's it. I guess in closing I would just
like to thank you all for your patience this went longer then I thought it was going
to. We had a lot of good questions and appreciate it. One thing to point out Gary
gives me credit for this packet but a lot of the information comes from John, Rick,
Len they are the ones that are actually pulling this stuff together. Also, Kari Glen
at our office she was about to pull her hair out this morning because I had more
slides I had to insert. She had those books made brought it back and I told her
that. At arms length. She did a lot of work on this, did a very good job.
De Weerd: Well please tell her thank you.
Watson: We will.
Bird: Thank you Brad for a nice job.
Watson: The very last thing I just slipped in the back just a little sheet that comes
out of the magazine from Water Environment Federation called Pipe Dreams and
I won't read it I'll just let it speak for itself. Thank you if you have any other
questions let me know.
Corrie: Very well done. Questions.
Bird: I have none.
Nary: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I just have one. Brad I was looking through this and one of the things that
I guess I'm more just curious about is - I don't know what the expense is I
couldn't remember when I looked through here but you know as long as I've
known you guys have a Iways rented space, you folks have moved space this
year for your department and such and I guess I'm curious as to with all the other
things that have gone on. Has there been discussion on permanent space for
that so that we weren't paying rent anymore?
Watson: My take on it Councilman Nary is that the Engineering Division and
Building Department would eventually be moved into a permanent City Hall.
Something that has been discussed is a permanent facility for the Water
Department either increasing the size out there or finding a new location. With
Lyman's school out there their very cramped to the point where they can't hire
new people because there's no space. That's kind of apart from what you asked
me. T here are discussions a bout facilities are 0 wn f aGilities t he Public Works
from and maybe Mayor Corrie can speak to this better then I can. I've left that
pretty much to Gary but I think that was my understanding is that we would
permanently move in to City Hall at some point.

Watson: Thank you.
PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT
Powell: Well Stacy called me earlier this afternoon and asked me to make a brief
presentation. I certainly don't have everything prepared with overheads like a
fancy response. I think I'm fortunate in what my staff does is that we are before
you on a regular basis or at least the end result of our work is before you on a
weekly basis and I think you can appreciate the time and the thought and the
care that goes into preparing all those applications. I think you have a good feel
for most of what we do and the numbers that Gary and Brad showed regarding
the subdivision plats I think speak to the Planning Department as well. I don't
know if you noticed a recent article in the Statesman about the population growth
for the different cities and how basically the physical number of growths between
Boise and Meridian was the same and their planning staff is probably three times
larger then ours. I think it's a real sign that they are moving these through
efficiently, getting the work done and moving them on for you to make decisions
regarding the growth for t he community. I think they s pent most of their time
since they were short a leader most of the year. They spent most of their time
just kind of trying to keep the applications in process. There were a few things
that I wanted to point out that they did get done. Our new enforcement officer
has gone great guns in just jumping in, defining the job for himself. He's done a
great job answering questions for - kind of reacting to complaints but also a great
proactive job at particularly the sign ordinance and enforcing that. We are
working now to kind of broaden his understanding of the zoning ordinance so that
he can work proactively on other things as well on ones that - he's learning but
we got him doing that. He's going out with the staff now on site visits and just
kind of looking around so that they can kind of point out to him what they see as
violations and so he's working on that and he's doing a great job. I also believe
the wireless communication ordinance went through this year which would have
been a big job. The sigh ordinance is just ready to get into the process and you'll
see that soon. I know Brad spent a lot of time working with various businesses
on revising that sign ordinance. Steve and his work with the MDC may not be
quite as evident to you but he has spent a lot of time on the design standards
and working with that group to get that organization moving along. As part of that
Steve and I have been working on getting a parking study done for MDC and
we've got a consultant figured out that's going to kind of help us do the work and
then we are going to hire an intern to walk around town and count parking
spaces. I think we've got that figured out within this year's budget. Also as part
of that we are looking at new aerial photos for the city. COMPASS has asked us
to participate in that and hopefully those aerials will work for the parking study as
Meridian City Council SpeCI<:l1 Budget Workshop

well. It depends on when they were taken, we are investigating that right now.
We are also in the process of hiring a new planner. The turnout was
phenomenal for that planner position. I guess it was a good time to be looking
for a planner because we just had ten exceptional candidates with educational
background as well as great experience in city planning. We know we are going
to have a great new planner two its just we don't know who it is yet. It's going to
be a guy we know that much. We start interviews tomorrow and we have one
more on Monday. We should be able to know by the end of next week hopefully
who that will be. They've also hired a new Planning Director I hear and so far
that seems to be going well.
De Weerd: Depends on who you talk to.
Powell: Yes. You know I knew I had a great staff when I took the job but it is
why I took the job. I just knew they were a great crew and I was really looking
forward to working with them. What I didn't expect or what I didn't know is how
great the rest of everybody was going to turn out to be. Just the reception I've
got has been so warm and so wonderful and I just wanted to thank you all for
that. I'm very encouraged and very excited about being the Planning Director for
the City of Meridian and to that end for the last couple months, its almost three
months actually. Aside from learning how to work the overhead projectors I have
been doing some other things. I took some time just assessing the staff potential
and asking them what do you want to be when they grow up and just finding out
what was driving them, what they wanted to do, what they weren't doing in their
current jobs and trying to set aside some expectations 0 n what j expect from
them and then also what they can expect from me. Related to that I have an
education and training are very important to me so we've been discussing that
and we've set up a few things, all the Planning and Zoning Commission
members are now APA members and will be receiving that magazine so it can
kind of further their training and the planning field. My administrative assistant is
now enrolled at BSU, she's going to get her associates degree so that was kind
of exciting for her and I thought that was great. Steve is now a member of the
landscape architecture and Joe and Wendi, Sonya, and Brad are all going to
various conferences. There has been an emphasis there just setting aside or
finding out what was important for them and I think they have really appreciOated
that more then anything so far just that feeling they are being trained and they
are valued. On the trip back from Coeur d' A'lene its probably a good thing I
drove up there because the 10 hour trip back was really a great time for me to
reflect on what I wanted to do for the department. Aside from the strategic, plan
things just really kind of what I wanted to do. I sat down, I wrote out an operating
philosophy, and I forwarded that to the staff to give them an idea of what was
important to me when I was assigning work tasks. When I was purchasing
things, when I was looking at the budget, when we were talking about the
strategic plan just so that they knew okay this is where I'm coming from. In a
nutshell that is when a developer comes up with a great project I want them to
say you know this would be a great project for Meridian. I want them to have that

July 17, 2003
Page 71 of 90
trust, that comfort that they can come to us with a new innovative project and
really do great things and to do that I need to have great staff and we need to
have some better standards and we'll work on those. That's where I'm coming
from. To that end, I've compiled a list of projects that was a compellation of
things from some joint meetings and also from the Comprehensive Plan, the
immediate action items only and just other things that we've been asked to the
last few months and it was about two pages long. I'm going to be coming to you
and asking you for some help in prioritizing those list of things so that we can
jump in and start moving. That's where I'm at, I've done my fact finding I'm ready
to jump in and get some work done. That's all.
Corrie: Anna you are doing a great job so far.
Powell: Well thank you.
Corrie: I think you will in the future too and we've been very fortunate to have
three new ones here that's all panned out to be real good and I know-
(I naud ible d iscu ssion)
Corrie: Back there in the Finance part - Finance of course has helped this one
immensely. I'll tell you that. I'm always amazed at 180 employees getting this
much done. Whenever I talk to other Mayors they say they are amazed that we
only have 180 employees for a town of 42,000. They may have 40,000 and they
got 300 or 400 employees. I ask them what they do all the time and they said
they have a lot of coffee drinkers and the coffee shops are employed there. I do
want to say for the record that we got a tremendous bunch of employees that's
just great and I want to see that we take care of them and do them right and I'm
sure the Council feels the same way and they will too. We will have this budget
here pretty soon and thank you all.
Powell: Thank you.
McCandless: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. McCandless.
McCandless: I just wanted to say that [ am absolutely positive and I'm sure the
Council joins me in the fact that we found the right person when we hired Anna.
We are very very proud of you thank you. I'd also like to say that I'm very
grateful to the Public Works staff and to John and to Rick and to Brad and Gary
and for putting up with me for the last two years and teaching me so much.
Nary: I feel your pain.
McCandless: So thank you very much I think you guys are great.
Meridian City Council SpecH:11 Budget Workshop

Corrie: Thank you. I will add that there isn't a time when I haven't picked up the
phone and called an employee that didn't have an answer for me and it was the
right answer. They didn't make one up. They knew what they were doing and
they do know what they are doing. Again I want to thank all of you, everybody.
Anybody else.
Nary: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: This may surprise you. I was the one that asked about Planning and
Zoning. I guess I was curious about was that the fact that there wasn't any real
enhancements and such. I think you've explained that real well, as to how you
folks are meeting all the needs, so I think that's really great. I really appreciate
that.
Powell: And part of that was I got here late in the process and I actually haven't
thought about it much. I can see that as - I think we got a lot of preliminary plats
done and has the Final Plats come in I don't know if its going to be to
overwhelming or not. You know next year I would imagine I'll be asking for a
new planner, the problem is [ don't have space for one. You know I'm not quite
sure what we are going to be doing there.
Nary: And I would echo the same thing that both the Mayor and Council member
McCandless said. I mean the work is tremendous that you and your staff all do.
I mean we see it every week. We probably don't acknowledge it as often as we
should but that it really is excellent. That's really, what makes the city go you
know at least in that arena. One of the areas on the base budget that we've had
discussion with in the past that are surprisingly near and dear to me is the legal
costs that are a part of your departments budget and seems my recollection in
the past and I guess this is more of an area to sort of keep in the for front. Is part
of that legal cost I think eventually was supposed to decrease as the planners
time and expertise increased because they would be doing less of the stuff that's
been prepared by legal in the past that they charge us for, preparation of findings
and (inaudible) would be done by your staff rather then the legal staff as a cost
saving measure and I noticed that here its increased again and it's a fairly small
increase amount but I mean it is just one of those things that what we are looking
down the road and costs and operational costs. That's something [ know that we
have at least looked at and tried to evaluate and I know its more of a discussion
probably for you and the City Attorney as to how to kind of keep a hold on that so
it doesn't become a runaway train.
Powell: Well I think that there's certainly room there for staff to take over a lot
more of that work actually. Some of it depends on your comfort as a Council in
how those are prepared. I mean the City of Meridian, I don't know of any other
Meridian City Council SpeclClI Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 73 of 90
city that has their legal staff do all their findings of fact and conclusions of law.
They look very different from any other cities. I mean they are much lengthier. I
think there is an opportunity to not have them be quite so legalistic I mean
everybody else seems to get by with them not being quite such the legal
document. I would think you could do the same. Generally, the Development
Agreements are the only ones where the legal staff is completely immersed in
those. I think there is great opportunity there, if I ask Bill he's going to want them
done the way that - I'm sorry the City's Attorney - He's going to want them done
the way that they are probably currently done. It may be advantageous to have
perhaps you Councilman Nary meet with both 0 f us to discuss how we could
maybe come to a compromise on how those are structured because I do think it
would be more efficient for staff to do it as well as perhaps more accurate.
Especially coming from Planning and Zoning going to the Council because they
are there, they heard the discussion, its not one person trying to communicate to
their administrative assistant. Not that there are a lot of errors that occur. I just
think it helps when you are there at the hearing and to understand what
happened.
Nary: Everything else I think has just been great and even the changes and the
enhancements even in the short time you've been there, I mean we've seen it. It
has been a very very positive thing. I mean it really has been a good thing for
the city with you being here and I think that's great.
Powell: Thank you.
Nary: Good luck on the priority thing. If I know the rest of us up here it'll be one
(inaudible).
Powell: And I forwarded the list to the Mayor (inaudible) what should I do with
the list. We'll see what his answer is.
De Weerd: I keep trying to keep her grounded and you guys are just kind of
puffing her up there.
(Inaudible discussion)
Nary: Well she is here on Tuesday night's too so she knows (inaudible).
De Weerd: He can be short-lived Anna, take it while you can. Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I guess I see the transit contributions here. Where is COMPASS?
Where are the COMPASS contributions? On Anna's budget. I thought
COMPASS somehow came out of P and Z in the past.

Kilchenmann: I think its combined in there. If we are going to goon to that
subject we can go ahead and bring up that worksheet that shows all the different
memberships and how they are split out.
De Weerd: Well I only brought it up because I didn't see it. Anna is standing
there.
Kilchenmann: Part of it is in it. I just have to look it up and see exactly how it's
split up.
De Weerd: Which line item.
Kilchenmann: I think she has 6,500 of COMPASS in her budget.
De Weerd: Oh okay. I see where it is.
Powell: I do you have one request when the new city hall that's built. Please
don't put these things. They make me so dizzy, these things out in front. I don't
know if you've ever spoken up here. I'm grabbing on.
McCandless: They are terrible.
Powell: They are terrible.
Corrie: They are.
Powell: Did you have further questions?
Corrie: Any other questions?
Bird: I have none.
Powell: Tammy I think that comes out of the dues and membership, is what I
understood.
De Weerd: Thank you Anna.
Kilchenmann: Would you guys like to take a break while we set up our computer
and then we could go over the miscellaneous things? Then in the morning we
are scheduled we are scheduled - I would have Pauline come in now but she's
not here today so she's scheduled first thing in the morning to talk about
compensation.
(Recess)
Corrie: We will come back into session now. Reta and Stacy you have the floor.

Kilchenmann: We don't really have a presentation. I guess just ,if anyone had
questions.
Bird: I think we got some questions here but I think it's some that Mayor is going
to have to check into like that Emergency Management that's awful expensive.
De We8rd: Yes.
Bird: (Inaudible) is no problem but I think that's something Mayor is just going to
have to ask about.
Corrie: Valley Transit. They asked for 25,000 something.
Cunningham: They sent in a request.
Corrie: They called me and I said what we had on the books but I couldn't
remember the exact fee.
De Weerd: There's Clair right now. You are so (inaudible).
Bowman: My ears were burning.
Nary: The Mayor said he was not going to rejoin the conference of Mayors?
De Weerd: Yes.
Cunningham: Then Pauline decided to drop that IEC.
Bird: What are we going to do (inaudible)?
De Weerd: Yes.
McCandless: Idaho what is it?
Cunningham: The IEC? I'm not sure what it stands for. Do you guys know?
Nary: Good thing we aren't paying for it anymore.
McCandless: I don't know what half of these things are.
Kilchenmann: Some kind of employee thing. An HRish thing.
McCandless: I know there are a bunch of HRish things in here.
Berg: Idaho Employee Council.
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop

Page 76 of 90
Kilchenmann: Yeah I was going to say Idaho Employee Council.
McCandless: What the heck is HRA TV.
Cunningham: Oh are you looking at the ones down below?
McCandless: Yes. The fourth one down.
Kilchenmann: I bet its Human Resource Association of Treasure Valley.
Bird: Why do we belong to all that?
McCandless: Yes why do we?
KHchenmann: Well that one is only 50 dollars. I think they actually have
meetings in the Treasure Valley and they -
Nary: You know here's what I think for what its worth. I think for some of the
departments, I think within reason and most of these are fairly low. I mean within
reason I think the department has to have some flexibility to be able to decide
what helps them do business and what helps them work with others.
McCandless: I agree.
Bird: I agree with you.
Nary: And because all of these are fairly low. On these lower ones, I guess I
don't have a real heartburn to try to second guess whether or not they really think
they need it. If it was quite a bit more money then I think we want to do that but I
think even if you look at HR 350 bucks a year seems fairly small. We can
certainly ask though tomorrow if you want to what those particular organizations
do. I think the bigger numbers up above are the ones that we probably need to
talk about more as to viability and usefulness for the city.
McCandless: (inaudible) Valley Transit. That's a big amount of money.
Nary: They are. You know last year I know since I only have one-year frame of
reference when we talked about those. I mean part of that is you know we are
part of a large regional group in trying to maintain those things and I think we've
at least from last year. We are looking at the bigger picture from a region
standpoint rather then just the individual needs of the city and our residence and
how much they use it and all that. I think as the budgets get a little skinnier and a
little bit tighter we at least have to ask those questions and at least know what we
are going into eyes open that if that's where we are spending that kind of dough
on then what exactly are we getting as a turn around for that or our residence.

Corrie: It says for accounting billing fund. Those three figures on top are they
coming out of the billing fund. In other words, people are paying for that anyway.
Cunningham: Yes it's coming out of the billing fund.
Corrie: Okay so its not general fund item.
Cunningham: No.
Corrie: So that's going to come out-
Cunningham: It's coming out of the special service fund.
Cunningham: See on the P and Z actually has the line item for it.
Corrie: Right. Okay.
Cunningham: Transit dues.
Nary: I mean you think if you look at the top row I mean other then those transit
ones which again are fairly large and most of these are pretty much what it takes
to do business. AIC, COMPASS, I mean maybe we need to talk about the
assessment number, same thing with the EMS one but I mean (inaudible) these
are ones that we cannot participate in.
(Inaudible discussion)
Nary: Will in these other dues I mean there's (inaudible) a way for Stacy but
don't you belong to that?
Berg: No.
Kilchenmann: Actually I dropped that one.
Nary: Oh.
Berg: I have a line item in my budget for 500 dollars for dues but I'm a member
like of ICCTFOA-
Nary: Right I guess that's -
Berg: IIMC and PRIMA. I'm a member of PRIMA.
Nary: Those aren't on here so -
Meridian City Council SpecJc:11 Budget Workshop

Page 78 of 90
Berg: I noticed that so I don't know where -
Kilchenmann: What happens to those is like Reta and I both belong to the
Association of Governmental Accountants and in the state you can't really pay
dues so what the state does for some of those associations is they combine the
membership into the training seminar. Like we go to a two day training and part
of the training conference registration we pay is for - then we have a
membership for the year. I think that's what's happened is people have coded
them is its in conjunction with the conference and so they don't show up here.
Nary: Is there dues for PRIMA? Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: On these ones for the regional transportation. I don't recall that we had a
presentation from the TV Metro. Treasure Valley Transportation is what I thought
the one that was here most recently and then we have had Valley Ride. I don't
remember the Treasure Valley Metro doing a presentation or maybe [ have them
backwards.
Corrie: The Midday Express you did and Katherine - jf I remember right I think
everybody did.
De Weerd: I think Katherine's been here.
Corrie: They were all there and I can remember going back they were all
presented.
Nary: Maybe it was but I just don't remember. I'm kind of torn I know it's a good
regional thing, I know it's a long term commitment we've really made to doing
those and not necessarily wanted to eliminate funding but I think at some point
someone's going to call us on it and say what am I getting for that. And I'm not
sure what we get for that. We have some benefits to our community, I think there
is no doubt about it, I just don't know dollar wise what that is but I know if you
don't participate then there is nothing. I guess I'm just torn about it.
Corrie: I would like to see them get more of the businesses involved. Like Saint
Luke's and Saint AI's and some of those. I think they are trying to, we have a lot
of people that call and say thanks that that's there. I used to get some people
that when they changed the spot I got a lot of phone calls the first week. There
are a lot of people out there using it and there's more everyday. I agree with you
I think we are going to have to draw the line here somewhere. j don't know how
Boise is going to do keeping that bus service there.
Nary: You raised a really accurate point is I think that was the least part of the
discussion I recall was they had some frustration in trying to deal with the private
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 79 of 90
businesses that are really gaining a benefit like Saint Luke's or the mall or those
places and they don't want to participate in the maintenance of the program.
They certainly don't mind that their workers can get there on the bus, they don't
mind that their patrons can get there on the bus system but they don't want to
help pay for it and so I'm not sure there's a real answer to that either. Obviously
they are working to dot hat but that does make ita wfully tough sometimes to
keep funding something that appears to be only getting larger not smaller.
Service is getting a little smaller because it's very tight for ridership and it's a lot
of money. 67 almost 68,000 dollars is a lot of money.
Corrie: They may have to go in the back door at those places to. They say they
are not going to be able to do it and they may step forward and say-
De Weerd: Well and that's where I think the Cities can step up and start helping
people think out of the box and maybe give incentives for smaller parking lots for
a commitment to something like this so that we can make it happen. We need to
build that into ordinances and that sort of thing.
Nary: That is exactly right.
De Weerd: You know for this year I'd like to see us maintain it and let them know
we would like more information on who your funding partners are and if the
private industry can't step up to the plate you know the city can't continue to do it
on the backs of their taxpayers. Although the taxpayers aren't paying for this our
fees are and right now the building community is supportive of mass transit.
They see the benefits but I think we to have to respond to them and if we can't
show more collaboration. Yeah we need to take a second look at it but right now
we need a partner in hoping it succeeds.
Nary: I would agree.
McCandless: I should know I know but I'm either new or have forgotten or
something but what's Treasure Valley Partnership?
Corrie: All the Mayors and the County Commissioners that meet and put things
before the P and Z and Council and ordinances that come - that was raised on
like the communications towers that we get an ordinance for, we put that together
and then they get all the Comprehensive Plans put together and make sure they
are not putting a contractors yard against something else-
(Inaudible discussion)
Corrie: We did goof on that one but. Actually we are getting quite a bit of bang
for a buck on that one.
Nary: Is the dues for that based on population too like COMPASS?
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 80 of 90
Corrie: Yes.
Nary: Okay.
De Weerd: I don't see anything on here that hasn't already been addressed or
answered. I would like to go to the enhancements in the admin side. Meridian
Development Corporation they are paying back its indicated in the bottom. It will
probably be towards the end of the budget year because they won't get their tax
increment financing until January at the earliest and probably a smaller portion.
Bird: I was going to say probably more like July.
De Weerd: But it will get paid back. I guess I didn't know why the Senior Center
was at zero.
Corrie: Okay. Let me get there. That was a question mark.
De Weerd: Okay.
Corrie: If we go into SAGE membership and they are going to grants for them
would they be able to get part of that 15,000 or more then 15,000 in grants. Why
would we pay them double if we can do that? That was the only question that
was brought up to me. Can we still want to give them 15,000 when they could
probably through these grants that we a re going to be working with get 50 to
100,000,
De Weerd: Mayor last year we raised it to 15,000 it was at 10,000 and they use
the 10,000 in their operations. And it was an ongoing to help offset the cost of
doing business. Last year when we increased it 5,000 was about the same
conversation we just had about mass transit, they had just gotten their new bus
they were talking about partnering with Meridian Elementary School and we
wanted to help offset the cost of their new transportation system which has really
been successful. They are utilizing it for a lot of seniors they have on a monthly,
they already beat the numbers we see from the Treasure Valley Transportation
and the Treasure Valley Metro. Their van hauls around 450 people a month and
that's pretty good numbers. That 5,000 were to offset some of their
transportation costs. I do know because of the number of repair projects that
they have going that they certainly can take advantage of the SAGE membership
but that's kind of over above their transportation and operational type of
expenses that they look to the city and the county for support from, and they do
get county support as well.
Corrie: I agree. I think what you have to do though if you keep the 15,000 in be
specific on where it's to go. Not that they have a choice of where they want it to
go. The attorney gave us that advice that we can't just give them a lump sum of
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 81 of 90
money and do what you want to with it. We have to ear mark it to be legal and of
course we can do that. If you want to earmark it for new sidewalks or what have
you then that becomes not a problem for us and not for them neither. We can't
just say here's 15,000 dollars use it the way you want it.
De Weerd: I understand that.
Corrie: I'm not objecting it and one of the reasons I brought that up was the fact
that we do need to - if we do give that we have to specifically say where its going
to and then jf you want to give them 15 or 20 that's up to you. I did want to bring
it up for discussion, this is the quickest way I could get it to your attention, and it
was going out.
De Weerd: Mayor I appreciate that and I think that and I think that we still need
to continue to ear market 5,000 to their bus. It's very important. I don't want to
see them take away that partnership with Meridian Elementary and as they start-
pinching pennies that's what they do. We are there to remind them that's why
you got that extra 5,000 dollars. The 10,000 I'm sure they won't have a problem
designating that either as a match to something that they might get a grant for or
a particular problem or a particular project. We'll just have to be specific with
them and hope when they submit their information to the accounting office it's a
lot clearer then it was this last time.
Nary: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: On the MDC one I guess so I understand isn't the intent to repay that?
Corrie: Yes.
Nary: Or this is on top of something.
Bird: They are going to pay it back.
De Weerd: It's on the bottom.
Nary: Okay but then is there some necessity to even fund it? I mean is there
some start up that they have a need for?
De Weerd: What I had just said is their tax increment financing at earliest they
will get a small proportion in January.
Nary: I understand that. What do they need the 60,000 for in October then?
Why do they need 60,000 dollars?
Meridian City Council Specl"," Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 82 of 90
Bird: You're basically running their deal when you are paying seven, eight 9,000
dollars a year in legal fees, which we have been and stuff like that. The city is
basically funding MDC until they get some of this increment and money in it. I
think we are going to have to help them for a couple years but they should be
able to pay us back. That's what its basically doing is you are funding it.
Nary: I understand that I just didn't know what we were funding.
Bird: We are funding the expenses of MDC.
Nary: Right but all we've got is -
Bird: They want to hire a director and everything else so you know you are going
to have to -
De Weerd: Will can you get a copy of their budget.
Kilchenmann: Its in here.
De Weerd: Is it.
Bird: Yes it's in there.
De Weerd: The updated one too?
Kilchenmann: It's pretty much the same.
De Weerd: Oh okay. Right off Bill mainly that money will be funding the market
feasibility study. The traffic study is being done now and the parking. Well the
traffic maybe funded during their next budget year. There's a number of projects
that there having consultants do to help set the base for generating some interest
and some investment into old town.
Kilchenmann: They also want to hire a grant writer. The fagade and streetscape
improvement and then they are looking at the end of the year of hiring a director.
Their ideas of hiring a director I feel are rather vague because they don't have a
job description, they don't have a range. I think they are going to ask the city to
share that cost with them but they haven't really developed the cost they want
the city to share office space because I don't think on their own it would be a long
time before they could afford to support a full time position with insurance and so
forth. I wouldn't think that they really would need the full 60,000 dollars up front.
Nary: I'm looking at their request I mean 10,000 is to hire a director, I don't know
if t hat's for process, it's 0 bviously not a salary. I don't think. 3 ,000 for grant
writing when we are paying 2,500 dollars to SAGE and Craig Slocum came and
said that's what they would use. I'm not sure that they really need 3,000 dollars
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 83 of 90
more to contracted a grant writer if weare going to pay for SAGE. I guess I
would look at a couple of those things. An office space and supplies is 2,000
dollars and I don't know that they need it. I don't know what they need yet
specifically. Some of these things seem like, completing of a market study
25,000 I mean if that's already an ongoing project that makes some sense the
same thing with the street fa9ade but some of these other things I guess I don't
see a necessity for them at this time.
De Weerd: The audit the legal. I don't know, if you need them to come in and
talk to you. Well what do you mean them, that's us. I think it's going to be paid
back so you know rob Peter to pay Paul. It's a lush and its.
Nary: I just don't see a reason to fund 13,000 dollars for hiring a director when
there is really nothing defined as to what that means or 3,000 dollars for a grant
writer when we are going to pay 2,500 dollars for another grant writer-
De Weerd: Weill agree with the 3,000.
Nary: But 10,000 to hire a director with no idea of what that's for seems like a
waste of money. If they define what its for-
Bird: I agree with you, they just threw out some numbers. I think they just want
to make sure they are protected because nobody has any idea what kind of tax
revenue they are going to get this first year, your not going to know until you see
it. They've got tog 0 0 n I mean you've already basically funded this thing by
throwing out the first 15 or 20,000 whatever we put out the first year and you've
got to start it Bill. Its like Tammy said there is no guarantee that they will get us
paid back next year because we don't know what the revenue sharing is going to
be. We will get it back and I think they just put this stuff in here as a guess and
hopefully because nobody had any idea when, where and why we would be
hiring a director when we would or anything but they hope to do it next year.
Kilchenmann: Maybe instead of just writing them a 60,000-dollar check at the
beginning of the year we should just do it more on a monthly basis.
Nary: At least for me. I mean I don't have a problem with some of these things I
mean I think the market study I think the s treetscape funding, even the office
administration a udit. I think t hat's fine even t he legal expenses. 1ft hey don't
have legal services they really can't operate. The miscellaneous, 1,500 dollars is
a lot, I don't know what that means. Is that pop and cookies? I mean I don't
know what its for but between that and 2,000 dollars for office space and
supplies when they don't have an office and they don't have supplies seems like
a lot of money. I'd rather say you know if we are going to fund them up front and
be repaid we fund the things that are defined specifically as to a need and the
other things that at least at this point haven't identified a specific need that can
wait and we can address that later if there is a need and the funding for their tax
Meridian City Council SpeclClI Budget Workshop
July 17,2003
Page 84 of 90
increment is inadequate and they realize that and again I understand those
things but I just have a hard time saying lets just - when we are talking about a
very tight budget for our own employees, I have a hard time saying lets just give
another 20,000 to this group when we don't really know what its for,
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
***End Of Side Six***
De Weerd: - they don't intend to hire him towards the end of the budget year.
You can guarantee they will have a description and everything else by then. It
will be similar to the other descriptions for positions similar to that in the valley.
What they are asking is only going to pay a couple months of someone's salary
anyway so they won't be looking for that person until next summer. Why would
we expect that they have a job description a year ahead of when they hire a
director? You know I guess I don't have that expectation for that board other
then I know they are working towards that. The office space and supplies they
are hoping to have some space in City Hall that they've talked about, they don't
know if that's realistic because they know the space constraints. They have
mailings, they want to do some public visual type of things. They are going to be
going through a visioning process to create a vision for Old Town. Be doing
some visioning boards and that sort of thing. I can see how those expenses will
accumulate. I don't think that this is an unreasonable budget. If you want more
detail, we can ask the chairman to send himself or one of the other members
who would not have a conflict like myself and Mr. Bird. You know if you want
more detail, I think we need to ask them instead of trying to second-guess what
the intent is. Like Councilman Bird said we've already made an investment of
55,000 dollars and we are invested. We want to see this work and if you need
rationale then we need to ask them to be here.
Nary: That's fine. They can be here tomorrow then.
Corrie: Let me ask you, did they say that they would probably pay it back as
soon as they got paid their monies and that's -
Kilchenmann: That's correct. They don't know what the cash flow will be
exactly.
Corrie: Okay.
Kilchenmann: So we could. Some of these expenses like hiring the director they
do have slated for the end of the previous year. To help our cash flow we could
not give them the entire amount up front, as we have in the past.
Corrie: Let me ask you a question. Was this talked about at your MDC meeting?
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17,2003
Page 85 of 90
Kilchenmann: Yes.
Bird: You bet it was.
Corrie: The amount that they wanted.
Kilchenmann: Yes.
Corrie: Okay. I'm concerned with if we don't what kind of message are we
sending to them? We either support this or we don't and I can see his point, we
got 0 ther things to do. I 'm in a stage to (inaudible) saying 60,000 is not that
much maybe but in your case, it is and my case it is too. I'm more inclined to say
this is fine and in January we are going to get it so why -
Kilchenmann: We won't get all of it in January. This is actually a guess as to
how much.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Yes.
Bird: They started out wanting 75,000 from us. Tammy and I said that there was
no way that we felt that we could give that much because we were going to be
pretty tight. They went back in and cut down and did some stuff. There is no
way in January are we going to get the 60,000 paid back. If we get it paid back
in July when we get our second installment because nobody has any idea what
kind of tax increment they are going to get.
Kilchenmann: This is though, this is based on some numbers that they got from
Ada County. They didn't just pull it out of a hat.
Bird: We're hoping its right. Then they will get plenty back a nd I see where
Councilman Nary is coming from. I mean I don't like it any better then anything
else but we do have this thing going, it is going to help downtown and I firmly
believe that. Downtown needs help. I assure you they just didn't throw this out,
they went and looked at seeing - and they are trying to be as practical as - but
they have no track record Bill on you know we have no track record we have no
idea - we have an idea on what our revenue is going to be but there's no
guarantee.
Kilchenmann: Once they get through this first year then it'll be like our property
tax. I think they will be able to predict it. It will be based on market value but it
will be easier to project and then I think they will have a better idea.
Nary: Well like I said we can all have our own positions. I can see out of what
they have requested, I can see 45,000 dollars of that being based on some
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 86 of 90
reality and I can see about 15,000 of it not. I wouldn't support more then 45,000
dollars for it and they can find the rest of the money or if they get something more
to find and the money is available then we can assist further. I'm not trying to cut
their legs off but they are supposed to operate independent of the city. We are
going to help fund some things and we are going to keep doing that but when
they a re a sking for these things t hat don't really have any definition tot hem I
don't see a reason to spend at least 15,000 dollars for this request.
Bird: Do you want one of them to come then?
Nary: Sure. I mean that's fine if they want to come. I just think 45,000 of this
seems like you can at least base it on something and they are all pretty rounded
numbers anyway. 45,000 of it seems to make some sense but the director, the
grant writing service and the office space to me don't. They don't make sense at
this time. Now they may later. We may have the money to fund that later if they
have more specifics as to what they want and what they need and why they need
it but I guess to me at this juncture I would be much more comfortable then
saying we will commit 45,000 to their request and we'll see about the other 15
later. That maybe the first 15 they make up out of their tax increments is that and
they can make that up first, I don't care but without being real defined.
Bird: Bill that's something that we can do tomorrow. If you want to do that you
can make a motion and we can find out.
Nary: Okay.
Bird: I'm not saying you are not right but like I said they start at 75, Tammy, and I
told them there was no way we could give it that. They got down to 60 and we
said we would try to sell that.
De Weerd: I thought we took the grant writer out.
Bird: I did too. Weill don't recall us saying we were going to join SAGE.
haven't voted on joining SAGE.
Nary: Well we said we were going to talk about it. Your right we didn't agree to
JOin.
De Weerd: And I guess that's why they kept it in there.
Corrie: (Inaudible) take all of you to do it so then that's what it's there for and you
can discuss that (inaudible).
McCandless: Well you look at that page, they haven't got a darn thing in there
that says what they are going to do or -
Meridian City Council SpeclClI Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 87 of 90
Corrie: SAGE you mean?
McCandless: Yes.
Corrie: Other then -
De Weerd: We've heard it.
Corrie: That's the democratic way to vote on it. Okay what else are we talking
about here? Is this the new figures that - no two reserve officers - 18,000, that's
not what they asked on -
Cunningham: We haven't made any changes.
Corrie: Because they came up different then what they were asking for.
Cunningham: Did they?
Corrie: Okay because they can get about 3,000 dollars (inaudible).
Cunningham: Okay we will make changes and have that ready for you.
Corrie: Okay good for me as a dummy accountant who drank beer in college
instead of going to the accounting class make it as simple as possible. Okay.
Lets bring up knox box for engines. You know I hate to say it but I think a captain
would be in charge of that and he could open a box. Not to have to spend 6,000
dollars for an electric - I don't Tammy maybe you can come up with it but
everybody can get in that box. I think the Captain should have the responsibility
of putting that key back. 5 ,000 dollars - give me 5,000 dollars a nd I 'II goo n
every trip.
(Inaudible discussion)
Bird: I'm with you Mayor and I can't figure out why.
Corrie: Anyway that was just a - I was going to it and I thought no don't go there.
(Inaudible discussion)
Nary: This shows they aren't going to repay the 60,000.
Kilchenmann: It's at the bottom.
De Weerd: Yes it does. It says repay City of Meridian. I mean how much more
clearer do you want it?
Meridian City Council Speclcll Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 88 of 90
Nary: I still don't buy it.
(Inaudible discussion)
Nary: I just don't agree with it. Its funny money. it's not based on anything. It's a
guess, it's not worth it. How are going to explain to our employees that we have
a tight budget and then we say but that 15,000 dollars that the M DC wants is
based on a guess but we will go ahead and give them that but we can't give you
anything. I mean come on.
Bird: You got a point there Bill.
De Weerd: B ut we a Iso have money going in a nd money going 0 ut. It's not
taking away from the bottom line.
Nary: But they can get it themselves and pay themselves back first. They can
pay us back the 45 after that. I just don't see funding it up front.
Bird: Well you said if they needed it, we could fund it later or something. Its got
to be in the budget as the funding starts with one way or the other its got to be in
the start of our budget.
De Weerd: We'll just have Steve come and speak to what the professional
services are. What constitutes the 64,000? The plans for the director and they
did take the grant writing out. What was the other issue you had Bill was it the
director, the grant writing and something else?
Nary: It was the miscellaneous, the office space.
De Weerd: Miscellaneous and office. Okay we will have them address that.
Nary: It looks like I assumed that the 6,000 that they are telling us for the legal
services are just they anticipate coming up with the other 4,000.
(Inaudible discussion)
De Weerd: Well when that went out that went out before they had a chance to
even get it to the board. It was 10,000, which was approximately, what they have
spent so far now too.
Bird: Isn't this what they published Stacy.
Kilchenmann: Yes they still have the grant writer in there. (Inaudible).
De Weerd: They have it in where?
Meridian City Council Specldl Budget Workshop
July 17, 2003
Page 89 of 90
Corrie: It's in hers. That was a different thing that she made for us.
De Weerd: Okay and we want to have our discussion tomorrow? After we get
this then we can just go? Although Cheri wants to stick around because Glen's
making dinner and she doesn't want to get home to early.
McCandless: I didn't say I wanted to stick around here. I said I would find
someplace to go.
(Inaudible discussion)
De Weerd: We will just all go to Cherie's house for dinner. Can I bring my kids?
McCandless: Sure, why not.
(Inaudible discussion)
Bird: Every department was very very understanding and very very helpful.
McCandless: We had some good presentations today.
De Weerd: Excellent.
Bird: They all worked to get it as tight as they could too.
De Weerd: Well and Mayor J appreciate this process. You know you working -
McCandless: Yes me too.
De Weerd: - you working with them has really helped clarify their presentations
and what you should come and request and it's been - every year it gets more
pleasurable.
Corrie: The thing is in meeting with them one thing I found out is I looked at it
and I said why do you want this? Why? They came back and said well we could
use it. We can always use something. I start (inaudible) and now go back and
all this I've cut out you tell me what you can if you want it back, how much you
can really stand to take out. You saw thought really in the Police Department.
You really did and when they cut 300,000 dollars out there I knew there was
money to be cut.
De Weerd: I know I like their red lines.
Nary: And also though I think the real positive of the process was you know the
one thing the other departments saw is the police do that so you know next year
the Fire Department will have gotten that message and say Jets go find the
Meridian City Council SpeclClI Budget Workshop
July 17,2003
Page 90 of 90
alternatives and that's positive. It's not going to be turned around one time but I
think there's some real positive (inaudible).
Bird: And I'll tell you Doug Strong did the same thing in the Parks you know he
really went and (inaudible) and what he asked for was what he felt he basically
needs and that's it.
De Weerd: So Stacy I think - I hint that Councilman Nary is giving is keep the
presentation by the Police Department as a template for what they can do next
year.
Kilchenmann: What they do is you just ask for 65 things and then you show red
crosses through them. Then it looks impressive.
De Weerd: Oh Stacy.
Corrie: Okay anybody else have anything else? I'm just sitting here waiting for
someone to say something.
De Weerd: I move we adjourn.
Nary: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and second to adjourn. All in favor say aye, Okay 3:50

Bird: Compensation.
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop
July 18, 2003
Pg. 2 of 108
De Weerd: Must be out of order. We're doing compensation first?
Skeggs: That's what I was told. Is that correct Stacy?
Bird: No.
Kilchenmann: Yes because I did the revenue yesterday.
De Weerd: Okay works for us.
Skeggs: Well Council Members, Mayor is not here. I am aware the financial
situation that the city is facing and I have heard from some of the Council
Members that you are considering no 0 r small increase for compensation this
year. What I had proposed that's in your manual to account in the beginning of
May, may no longer be applicable. It was to give a five percent pool of money
towards merit increases that would give an average employee three percent.
The five percent pool would also help to bring our pay for performance back in
line with the matrix that was set up when we had implemented the program. For
the past two years, a pool of three percent had been given and therefore some of
our employees are running behind our program. An employee needs to receive
an average of three percent to stay in line with our compensation program. The
increases are based on midpoint of the salary range. Receiving a three percent,
increase would give an average employee in the salary range an opportunity to
just stay in line with our program. It takes five years for an employee to reach the
midpoint of the salary range and then six years to reach the maximum of a range.
Therefore, it should take a total of 11 years for an employee to reach the end of
the range and the employees with excels or outstanding performance should
actually be running further beyond what our program has. The proposal for a five
percent pool of money was to give a marginal employee nothing and an
employee at satisfactory level a three percent competent would be four, excels
would be five and outstanding would be six. For an example, the employees who
were rated satisfactory last year only received a one percent increase.
Therefore, they would be running behind our program since it takes a three
percent to stay in line with the program. This year if they were to receive a
satisfactory, they would get a three percent increase, which just keeps them
barely in line with our program. Last year an employee who either excelled or
had outstanding performance were the ones that stood in line with the program
where if an employee just had satisfactory they fell below what we had set up
when we initially implemented our program. Since I haven't been given clear
direction on what the Council has considered for merit increase and knowing that
there is a significant increase to our health insurance premiums this year I would
recommend if you choose not tog 0 with either a five percent, four percent 0 r
three percent pool of money if compensation is given that is less than three
percent that you would consider doing it across the board for all those non-union
employees and the pay for performance program and the Police STEP Program.
Then no further compensation would be given for the remainder of the year. If
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop
July 18, 2003
Pg. 3 of 108
money is put into the pool that is less than three, percent it may be a hardship for
those employees who are earning a lower salary. If they were to get satisfactory,
they wouldn't get any increase at all and then we're going to ask them to pay
more for their benefits. They would actually be bringing home less in their
paycheck then they are bringing home now. The Benefits Committee got
together last week and we did do a survey. We had asked employees what was
more important benefits or pay and the majority 57 employees basically chose
both. They said pay and benefits were equally important however pay was more
important than benefits to some employees it ran 42 to 33. I understand that
accounting had given you a merit scenario worksheet that went from one percent
to five percent to show you what the cost would be. Therefore, I am confident
that you will do what you feel what is best for the city. I would also ask I think
there is only one Department Head here to give you any feedback or any
recommendations on consideration to the merit program that Gary feels
passionate about because there are no other Department Heads here. Gary do
you want to add anything.
Nary: Will is here and Stacy is here.
Skeggs: And Will that's right.
Kilchenmann: I was just going to say that she was originally scheduled for 8:30
so they may show up later. We could discuss - then the Mayor had also
mentioned doing like a three percent merit pool so I don't know if he's going to be
here soon. Then maybe he could discuss that.
Nary: Madam President.
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Pauline, I guess one thing I'm curious about in all the material I've read
and what you've said is, is the program that we've had in place you know took
nothing into consideration this cost of living raise has it went on top of-
Skeggs: No because the cost of living basically shifts the salary ranges. It's just
keeping employees in line with the inflation. If we gave a cost of living of two
percent then the range has shifted two percent. When the employees got the
cost of living, they went back into the same place that they were in the range
before. It didn't go towards any merit. It just kept our program moving forward.
Nary: And what are the particular dollars that increases cost to the employees
on the benefits side then.
Skeggs: Well they're going with Option 2 on the benefits side that the committee
- well we actually went and took a survey and we just asked employees what
option do you want Option 1 or Option 2. Option 1 was basically to increase the
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop
July 18, 2003
Pg. 4 of 108
deductible from 250 individual and 500 family to 500 individual and 1,000 family
and have the dual option program of the traditional or the PPO. That increase I
think from accounting was going to be like a 23 percent because it would reduce
it from 34 percent that's what Blue Cross is asking. Option 2 was basically leave
the deductible the same at 250 and 500 family and to ask those employees in the
traditional plan that if they wanted to keep the traditional that we were only go to
pay for the PPO portion of it so they would have to pay the difference for the
traditional plan. However, in determining that that would save I think that was
like 20 it would reduce it down to like 21 percent. The committee found out that if
we don't have 20 percent of the employees choose the traditional plan then Slue
Cross wouldn't allow us to offer it. We would have to go totally PPO. We don't
know those employees - there was only 28 employees that said they wanted
Option 1 which was the higher deductible and than the Traditional PPO. Since
we were changing and having the employees pay the traditional portion on
Option 2, 119 employees voted for Option 2. We're not sure f rom those 119
employees how many employees would stay on the Traditional Plan. With the
number of employees on our plan right now we would need 36 employees to stay
on the Traditional Plan. Even those employees that were single where we were
paying the total amount on Option 2 if they wanted to stay on the Traditional Plan
they would have to pay $55 a month which right now the employees on family
are paying $56. I know like for an employee and spouse it was $178 a month
difference. For employee and family it was $226.
Nary: To stay on the traditional.
Skeggs: To stay on the traditional. If they went on the PPO then it was lower. I
think for - well it would be zero for an employee only. For employee and spouse
it would be I think it was $81 and for employee and family - do you remember
Gary? It was like 90 something and that was it. We're not sure how the
employees will enroll but it may be that we're going to end up going to a PPO
Plan only.
Nary: And on the options, if we don't provide an option and they only move
everybody to the PPO Plan is there any conflict?
Skeggs: No, we asked Blue Cross and they said no. That was our first question
we asked Blue Cross. We were hoping for that.
McCandless: Madam President.
De Weerd: Mrs. McCandless.
McCandless: Pauline I guess I don't understand. If a person had to go on PPO
if they use someone that was not on the preferred list, would they not get any
insurance at all?
f
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop
July 18, 2003
Pg. 5 of 108
Skeggs: No they would they would just have to pay. Blue Cross would only pay
what's reasonable and customary for that procedure.
McCandless: I see.
Skeggs: Then either they could go back to that doctor and ask them to write off
the difference or actually, the doctor can back bill them for the difference for that.
In actuality in Option 2, employees would be encouraged to utilize the PPO
doctors if they wanted that benefit. There are 85 percent of the PPO doctors in
Treasure Valley now participating. There were only like 60 percent two years
ago. It's now been around in Idaho for a while so doctors are now getting familiar
with it. I know I tell employees if their doctor is not on the PPO Plan to ask their
doctor if they would be interested in enrolling and then all they have to do is call
Blue Cross to get on the program.
McCandless: Okay thanks.
Skeggs: Since the Mayor is not here I would actually like to review the Police
STEP Program also. Every year and on an ongoing basis I review and look at
positions within the city to see if they're competitive to the market and also
internal equity. This year the Police Department, the STEP Program was
reviewed by the assistance of an outside consultant. For the most part, we felt
that the program was in line and that we were paying the individuals in line with
other agencies. However, with the exception of Seargents and Lieutenants these
two positions were lagging the market. Seargents were lagging at the entry level
of 16 percent and at the end of the STEP Program by six percent Lieutenants
were lagging 9.64 at the entry then at the end they came out okay. They were
only 1.75 percent. When we implemented the program back in 2000, we had
condensed the ranges for Seargent and Lieutenants to five percent instead of the
10 percent difference from the other classifications police officers and detectives.
It was to save the city money and at that time, it didn't have an impact on any of
those employees in that classification because they were above the entry of the
range. However, when Chief Worley reorganized the department last year it
would impact eight employees who are in the Seargent Lieutenants positions.
It's six Seargent it would impact and two Lieutenants. By adjusting the ranges to
five percent, it would bring those ranges in line with other agencies. The cost to
do that for the city would be $11,796.20, which I had stated, would impact eight
employees. Chief Worley was given this information and he had agreed that the
program needed to be adjusted to make his department competitive with other
agencies. Since he's not here right now if hew anted to comment 0 n t hat. I
would ask Council Member Nary if Chief had discussed this with you you being
his liaison. I had sent you that packet too. That would be the only impact to the
Police STEP Program to bring them back and in line to be an adjustment of that
$11,000.
De Weerd: Council is there any questions?
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop
July 18, 2003
Pg. 6 of 108
Bird: Madam President.
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: This STEP thing is something that we had set up, in fact, we were going to
try to set it up throughout the whole city, and hopefully we will. I hate to see us
fall behind that drastic. I realize this but we didn't bring on the economy and if
you look out in the private world there is not a lot of raises being given out there
the five percent, three percent and all of this stuff. This is something we have to
wrangle with and stuff. I hate to see us fall behind when we get these STEP
programs going because they are the easy way to stay up and keep our pay and
stuff up where it should be. Hopefully we can figure out somehow to fund these
STEP programs and get them going. We're just going to have to tighten our
belts and see what we can. I'm like Mr. Nary and I were talking earlier there are
a lot of things in these budgets that are I think so blown out of proportion. They
throw in $12,000 and for five years haven't used a penny of it in the budgets and
stuff on some of these areas. Hopefully we can get some of this switched across
and get to the wages. I don't want to lose this STEP Program that we have got
going and J don't want to get way behind because once you get way behind then
you're always catching up, This is something I think we need to implement
throughout the city, which Pauline was working on and is working on continually.
Skeggs: Yes the cost for that right now for this year though because you have to
give the equity adjustment and bring employees in line it would cost the city far
more. I know with the financial consideration it wouldn't be applicable for this
year.
(Mayor returned at 8:17 A.M.)
Bird: No.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I understand that consideration Pauline but it's hard to consider just
one class of employees to bring them in line and not all the other employees.
Skeggs: That's why I had recommended because the only bargaining union is
the Fire Department so if you were going to consider less than a three percent
increase that you would give ita cross the board. Even into the Police STEP
Program where they would get like if you considered a two percent increase then
it would just be across the board for all those employees and then no further
increase for the remainder of the budget year. Whether they were on the STEP
Program or on the Pay for Performance Program as well because those
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop
July 18, 2003
Pg. 7 of 108
employees on the Pay for Performance Program have been running behind the
program for the past two years where the STEP Program have been in line with
our program.
De Weerd: Now with the STEP Program they're getting an increase anyway
aren't they?
Skeggs: Well I think t hat the money was put into the budget is that correct?
Again, they're non-union bargaining employees so that would be a consideration
for Council to take into when you make your decision on whether you wanted to
keep that in there or to utilize that money towards an increase for all employees.
De Weerd: What would be the difference there Reta?
Cunningham: It's like $45,000. You mean in the STEP increases?
De Weerd: Yes. If instead of the STEP increases that they got what all the other
employees got.
Cunningham: If they were just to get like a two percent flat?
De Weerd: Yes.
Cunningham: I actually have in the merit because if you look at these merit
increases like the one percent, two, three, four, and five that already includes the
Police STEP increases. There STEP increases were $37,000 just in wages and
you had the taxes and benefits. If we just put the flat two percent and then I took
out the STEP increases for the police then we would pay $76,000 for general
fund. If we give a three percent we pay, $135,000 and that took out the STEP.
Do you guys want to see the - so the STEP Plan is actually $46,000 is what we
have in the budget for their STEP Plan. That gave increases only to those - we
have some that are already over the STEP Plan so we didn't give them the
increases we were only looking at those employees that were do the next - their
increase. Does that make any sense? You can see this officer here he's already
paid over the STEP Plan so I put in for a zero STEP increase. The same down
here. All of them that I've highlighted this employee is over the plan so no
increase,
Skeggs: They would be over the plan if they had exceeded seven years of
employment with the city. The STEP Program goes to seven years.
De Weerd: So Reta is that the cost difference then the numbers you're giving us
or that would be then less what the STEP -
Cunningham: The cost difference if you mean if we don't give the STEP
increases?
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 18, 2003
Pg. 8 of 108
De Weerd: Yes.
Cunningham: Yes it's $46,000.
De Weerd: And the across the board is what?
Cunningham: It depends on what percent you're going to give.
De Weerd: Okay let's just say it flat.
Nary: 76 for two and 135 for three.
De Weerd: Okay. Then you would minus out the $46,000.
Cunningham: I already did.
Nary: That's already done.
Bird: That's already taken out.
De Weerd: Okay.
Nary: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: With that flat two or three percent would that cover the increase from the
cost of the medical coverage?
Skeggs: It probably would come close of where it would even it out.
Cunningham: Except for Option 2 if they stay traditional.
Skeggs: Right if they stay traditional no they would have to pay the difference. It
would probably flatten it out if they went to the PPO Plan, which I think most
employees would because that's what it's encouraging them to do. Some of the
employees said well you're forcing us and I said well we're strongly encouraging
that.
Nary: Life doesn't always have choices.
Skeggs: That's true.
De Weerd: But that is a choice.
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop
July 18, 2003
Pg. 9 of 108
Skeggs: Yes, if they want the traditional they pay the difference.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: So in Option 2 you're calling it as a benefit cut. A cut in benefits but
they're still getting the same the $250 deductible and $500 so it's not really a cut
it's a choice. Either if they want to keep the traditional then they have to pay
more but if they don't they're not really getting a cut in benefits.
Skeggs: The only reason it would be a cut is if you didn't give any increases at
all and then they had to pay more for their benefits. They would actually be
bringing home less in their paycheck then they are today if there was no
consideration for increase and their benefits went up. The PPO is also going up
slightly too so they would be paying more for the PPO then they were paying for
the traditional right now I think it's going up from the traditional is $56 and it's
going up to like 90 something for a family. Where employee and spouse would
have been $40 no $36 and it's going up to like $81.
De Weerd: But we're covering the employee.
Skeggs: Right.
De Weerd: That's a huge increase. What is it in the PPO?
Skeggs: The PPO Plan?
De Weerd: Yes.
Skeggs: That's what it is in the PPO Plan. It would go up.
De Weerd: Oh, it would go up 50 to 90?
Skeggs: Yes that's if they chose the traditional. When we did the options as to
paying, reducing it - I guess Janice brought in some calculations that she just
plugged in. I think it went from like employee and spouse from 36 to 58 so it
reduced it down.
De Weerd: For the PPO.
Skeggs: Yes but what we had done is that we're looking at combing our short-
term disability, long-term disability, and life, which is going to save the city some
money on a monthly basis. If we use those dollars to cover the increase then it
would reduce it from the $80 like employee and spouse to like $58. Really, they
would only be paying $18 more a month by doing it that way. We would use
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop
July 18. 2003
Pg.10of108
those monies and transfer it over so instead of being an 80 percent that the city
pays and 20 percent it would be like an 83 percent that the city paid towards their
benefits. We would pay a little more.
Corrie: And that's keeping the same amount of money in that pool of money?
Skeggs: Right. The Mayor was going to discuss the benefits portion with you
guys.
Corrie: We definitely don't want to give them less but also you want to make
sure that we don't give them less in their paycheck too. That's going to be a
double-whammy. They're going to really look at that. I think if we do what
Pauline is suggesting it would take care of that. We can still give them a choice
and I think the majority of them will take the PPO. There's about 95 percent or
90 percent of the physicians are on that. You maybe have some specialties like
your anesthesiologist, neurologists some of those that aren't on it. I looked at it
and there's not that many physicians that are not on there.
Skeggs: Right, yes.
Nary: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: But if we give it across the board like you're suggesting to then absorb the
cost - it would essentially absorb the cost of the increase on the PPO Plan. The
employees who don't have families or spouses actually get an increase right?
Skeggs: Yes.
Nary: So if we wanted to just absorb the cost of the medical for everyone rather
than in across the board there wouldn't necessarily be any increase for
employees that don't have spouses or families to include that everybody would
still get the same paycheck.
Skeggs: Right. Like if you opted to not allow the employees to pay more than
they're paying now and you use those monies towards the benefits then say that
there won't be a merit increase but you're absorbing the cost for the benefits yes.
Nary: Yes.
Kilchenmann: As an employee with nobody else on the insurance I don't find
that fair. That's like [ don't know.
Cunningham: A family employee gets more benefit than a single employee as
far as dollars.
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop
July 18, 2003
Pg. 11 of 108
Kilchenmann: Because I could put my spouse on and then I would increase the
cost to the city but really he doesn't need it because he carries his own
insurance. I have made that choice to save the city money.
Nary: But I guess it just depends on the opposite though is if we just gave it
across the board this person who sits next to you who has a spouse really gets
no increase and you do just because you just don't happen to have a spouse or a
family. I don't know that that's fair either. I mean it just depends on which side of
the coin you're sitting on right?
Skeggs: It's a tough decision that you guys' have to make. I'm glad I'm not on
the other end. It was really difficult for the Benefits Committee because initially
when we did the survey we got - we didn't get a high percentage of employees
that responded back to the survey. We went back out, solicited them one on
one, and asked them to sign off on whether they wanted Option 1, Option 2, or if
they had no opinion at all. We had them sign the form and had their name on it
and that's when we got back 119 responded for Option 2 and 28 for Option 1.
The committee was having a rough time making that decision because if we
made the decision then the employees would complain and now we can say well
we went with Option 2 because it was the majority of the employees had voted
for this option.
Kilchenmann: Pauline can you talk about what some of the other cities are
doing?
Skeggs: As far as the increases. Well some of the other cities that I had given
you in a list when we had gathered survey information increases were ranging
anywhere from 1.5 percent to 5 percent. Those were just proposals none of
those had been approved. I think right now the City of Boise I think they - Bill did
they go with the 2.5 but that was just to absorb the benefit cost? That was my
understand ing.
Nary: Yes.
De Weerd: So they didn't see any increase in the wages but they didn't get any
decrease because they're maintaining the benefits.
Skeggs: Yes.
Nary: Right and for Boise we still have to pay our co-pay. We still have to pay
our portion it was just to not offset the increase. I think what we were talking
about was absorbing the entire increase right so it's a little bit different.
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop
July 18, 2003
Pg. 12 of 108
Skeggs: Well I know Nampa has a STEP Program that they had implemented
and sot hey are giving a two percent just to keep them in line with the STEP
Program so they don't go behind and that's it.
Bird: Yes I think Nampa got theirs implemented throughout the city didn't they?
Skeggs: Right.
Bird: All but of course they're like we are they have the union at the Fire
Department.
De Weerd: But did they get a decrease in benefits then?
Skeggs: No.
De Weerd: They were able to absorb the cost.
Skeggs: See because with benefits it depends on your experience. They may
have had good experience in Nampa where the city we have had bad experience
for the last three years. Their rate increase for health insurance could have been
15 percent where ours was 34. It depends on what their increase and what there
experience has been running for the benefits would determine what their rate
increase for health insurance would be. They had chose because they just
implemented the STEP Program to give those equity adjustments and therefore
the two percent which is covered to keep in line with their program because
some employees got equity adjustments to bring them in line with their program.
De Weerd: It's kind of an oxymoron isn't it when you look at your ratings and
you're trying to encourage your employees to stay healthy and go to the doctor
then -
Bird: I helped you out this year.
De Weerd: Thank you Keith.
Corrie: (Inaudible) we didn't want to but we did.
Bird: We did.
Skeggs: And I know ACHD at the beginning of April they just gave a flat two
percent. Ada County they are proposing a two to four percent but nothing had
been approved for that.
De Weerd: Still not?
Skeggs: Not that I'm aware of.
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop

De Weerd: Does anyone else want to -
Corrie: Gary oh there you are.
Smith: Good morning. I just wanted to make a comment concerning our present
pay matrix structure. I really feel a lot as though that is a I guess you could say a
modified STEP Program because it does outline over a period of 11 years salary
range increases. As Pauline mentioned those are based on, a three percent
change each year. If you have under the present structure if you have a
competent employee as far as an evaluation is concerned in our rating system, a
competent employee is a 90 to 95 percent accurate type of employee if you want
to put it in terms of a grade. That means that person is a good employee. That
type of rating garners them two percent increase so you fall behind without any
other form of or means of increasing compensation that employee falls behind.
We've got several employees in the Engineering Division I haven't checked the
rest in Water and Wastewater but there are several in the Engineering Division
that have fallen behind that present matrix at this point. The change to PPO as
Pauline mentioned is an employee decision. They made their vote and decided
in that manner. I think it's going to in effect it's going to decrease the benefits to
some degree because there are as Mayor mentioned there a re some doctors
that are not subscribers to the PPO particularly the specialists, anesthesiologists,
neurosurgeons I'm not sure who else but a lot of specialists are not. That means
that the bill that the employee picks up is going to be increased from what it is
now at the present coverage. I think they understand that. We tried really hard
to explain the differences between the PPO and traditional so everybody really
understood that. As Pauline mentioned, that decision in the Benefits Committee
was very, very difficult. I understand where you are because that's the buck
stops here you might say. I just really feel as though - I understand that all the
departments are paid differently. Their salary structure is based on what they do.
I don't have an issue with that at all. My concern is just that the employees
receive equal consideration in increase and compensation. I guess that's my two
cents.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Gary, I think that you've got some unique rolls too because a lot of these
jobs that we have within the city there is no outside jobs that compare to them.
With engineers, planners and all that stuff that comes down here they're in
demand 0 ut t here I et's face t he facts. They're in very high demand 0 ut there
engineers are, civil engineers, and that kind of stuff.
Smith: Our technicians also.

Bird: I think we need to - and I love the STEP Program don't get me wrong I
love the STEP Program but I think there's instances that we need to take a look
at with engineers, planners and stuff like that. I mean you just don't go over the
board with them because they do have some outside jobs that you can compare
it to where an operator for a well or something like that I mean there's very few
private jobs out there for that. Most 0 f that is municipalities 0 r United Water.
Stuff like that I think we have to take that into consideration too. I think you've
got a very unique situation over in your department because of your engineers
and the same as Anna has with the planners. They do have some outside
sources to go work for where a lot of the people don't.
Smith: Thank you Keith. We really had a problem hiring an Engineering
Technician. We started in January and we finally hired him. In order to get him
to come to work we had to pay him close to mid-range of an Engineering Tech 1
position. That's what we're competing with.
Bird: That's right.
Smith: And it's fortunate or unfortunate it depends on how you look at it. I think
we're getting a good employee but nevertheless there's a cost to it. I think one of
the other reasons that he did come to work for us is because of our benefit
structure. He's coming from a small firm, which I don't know what their benefit
structure was like but I'm sure that what we offer was attractive to him.
Bird: I think Boise probably finds this with your attorneys Bill. You've got outside
sources there too that - and I think there are certain areas in the city that we
need to really work hard at. Like the engineers and the planners and stuff that
have outside sources that's hard to hire. I know Gary has a hard time getting
qualified engineers.
Smith: Thank you. I appreciate the opportunity to address you this morning. I
really do as I said yesterday I understand the difficulty in this decision and it is a
tough one. Thank you.
Corrie: Thank you Gary.
Powell: M r. Mayor, Members 0 f t he C ouncill just wanted to a dd a couple 0 f
quick additions that that. Following up with Council Member Bird's comment
that's why we lost Dave. They didn't even have to woo him with too much more
salary to - when you looked at the benefits versus salary it wasn't even that great
of an increase but we did lose him for strictly monetary reasons there was no
other reason he left. Mainly what I wanted to say was on that survey when it
came arou nd regarding the benefits everybody made that decision whether 0 r
not they wanted traditional or PPO but - and they looked at their own situation
but I think they also were considering the city. They recognize that the PPO Plan
was cheaper for the city and they were willing to say yes we'll go that way. On

the next column over where it said where it said what's more important payor
benefits well a lot of them put both but a lot of them said we're thinking okay if I'm
going to make this decision to go with the decision hen we would like to say our
pay at least increase a little bit. That's all I wanted to say.
Corrie: I think as long as we're as fair as we can be and we're not going to be
fair in everybody's eyes. I agree with Keith there that you've got specialists that
have to be paid - take a n attorney for instance if they're 0 n staff they s hou Id
probably make more there's no question about it than one at assistant level
starting at a low level. We have to think that consideration and we have to be fair
about it. I think this Council is trying to be fair within the confounds that we have
in our money. I do agree with you and the employees. They would like to have
both but when it comes down to where the rubber meets the road, they are
understanding. I just want us to be fair that's alii really need. Thank you Anna.
Powell: I think that's all they're looking for also.
Corrie: Yes I think so. Stacy.
Kilchenmann: Mayor and Members of Council I have to put in my two bits as a
Department Head not as a Finance Director. I think as far as an insurance I think
it's kind of a waive of reality that employees are going to have to bare more cost.
It's just a nationwide crisis so to speak. I think going to the PPO plan is just
happening company after company you know government agency after
government agency. I think that even if we go to the total PPO Plan I think our
benefits are very competitive. Just if you look at the market in Treasure Valley
but I would hate to lose the merit program. I guess one thing about our merit
program is it's applied to the midpoint of an employees range. I feel like it
benefits good long-term employees like Reta who is above her midpoint because
it's not like two percent of her salary it's just two percent of the midpoint. I hate to
lose the idea of a merit type program because J think that you know you say don't
tie merit to performance but I think it does give people a little motivation to kind of
try to step a little bit beyond where they normally would. That's just my two
cents.
Corrie: I feel that you should apply merit to performance I really do. If you have
somebody that's doing their job and that's it I'm sorry I don't feel they should be
getting as much as somebody that's going beyond the call of duty all the time
and really putting out there and think they should be paid for it. That's the old
pop method that I grew up with pay on performance. If you didn't perform you
didn't get paid. Maybe that was a little different than here but whenever you're
on a commission you perform or you don't get paid. Those others that did
perform and did what they were supposed to do and did more then they got paid
more. Comments.
Bird: I agree wholeheartedly with you.

Corrie: Any other discussion that we need here? I tell you I live with somebody
that's on the other end of the insurance business. She's seeing a lot of private
companies really backing down on insurance and going to PPO's or cutting a lot
of it out. I don't know anything about it. We don't talk that much but still - I mean
about insurance. She's noticing that the insurance - some of the private
insurance going up 45, 50 percent, and the employers just said we can't do it.
It's tough out there and it's going to get tougher.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I agree wholeheartedly. Three or four companies that I've - private
companies that I know they were having to cut back. Our company is two years
ago the first time we had to cut back and put more on the employee. The
employee had to pick up more of the benefits pay. We went to the PPO, which I
don't agree with. As a doctor I don't think I want my insurance company what my
rate is because I don't - if I'm going to be a doctor I'll go tell you what you can
charge for your insurance. I don't agree with it but I think it's the coming thing
that we have to do. Any insurance I'll guarantee you any insurance is very, very
nice people. I have learned in the last six months what insurance means to me.
It would have taken - if I hadn't of have good insurance it would have taken wale
of a whop out of my retirement fund I'll guarantee you that. It's something that
we can't let go and we need to get what's best we feel and it's for the employees.
Evidently, the employees have spoken and I'm for going down with that and
helping them on that part. I'm also for seeing if we can't give them a raise.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: I think we need to look long-term too. Maybe some of our ratings our
employees are not as well aware of wellness programs. We need to get a little
bit more proactive on the other side of it so we can start not only helping our
workforce but the long-term implications of some of the catastrophic claims that
we have. As we look down the road Pauline, I would hope that we start
implementing and looking at wellness programs and preventative care. I think
health wise comes out with a handbook that employees can benefit from. It's just
how we get over this hump in trying to turn around even our cities ratings. As
Keith had mentioned and I agree, it's hard to say that we're going to only set
aside employees that are competitive out there to the private sector as well. It is
a reality but I think we need to look at it more in terms of competitive salaries and
going out. I know Council has mentioned maybe revisiting this in January. Doing
something that we can looks like we can afford to do now. Maybe it will be
minimal but in January to revisit it and look at how we can get some equity
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop
July 18, 2003
Pg, 17 of 108
adjustments and some of the professional classifications so that we're
competitive to the private industry so we don't continue to. I think it's the wrong
message right now to send to all of our city employees that these employees will
get more of an increase but you're not competitive out to the private industry so
we're not going to give you what they are. I think that can be handled more in
terms of how we can be competitive in those professional level categories and do
that in January. Do something across the board. I appreciate what Gary said we
just want to be fair. We want everyone to get the same thing. I think that's what
the Council wants at this time too. We want to be fair and we don't want to
elevate any classification above another because that's the wrong message to be
sending right now. There are the realities that have been already talked about
and we can do that in a competitive I'm losing the word. We can do that in a
survey and maybe revisit it in January so we can remain competitive. Those
certainly in the two areas - well I think all of our city employees are over
burdened with a good workload because we are lean, mean and -
Corrie: We're lean anyway, we're not mean.
De Weerd: Well we're being mean today.
Bird: No you hit it right on the nose we're lean and mean. We've had to be thank
goodness.
De Weerd: I do appreciate what our Department Heads have said. I think you're
trying to be fair, trying to keep the best interest of your employees in mind and
that's certainly, what we'll work hard to do as well.
Corrie: I think our constituence want the best service possible. Our employees
are the ones who are going to -
***End Of Side One***
Corrie: -- that's a very big asset to the city is our employees. We have to keep
them happy to some extents and I think we're doing it as best we can. Just keep
those two things in mind that they seem like opposite ends but it takes the
employee to make the customer service right. No matter what the Department
Heads want, it's the employees that do for us. They're the wee bees. They will
be here after we're gone so we must take care of them in consideration in which
(inaudible).
Nary: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: You know I guess the difficulty for me is that it appears to me in the way
our structure is set up for our salaries benefits the way we've handled in the past
I,
Meridian City Council Special Budget Workshop
July 18, 2003
Pg. 18 of 108
in regards to employee increases that we are trying to compete with the private
sector and we can't. We will - if we don't address it this year, we'll address this
next year. The cost of medical benefits isn't going to go down. It will always
increase. I don't think I've seen any place that doesn't have a double-digit
increase every year. I don't think that's ever going to change. I think we need to
look at our pay structure and how things are done. I think there are some values
to the STEP situation but I also I guess have a concern that you know the merit
side of the equation seems to get lost a little bit sometimes. I think merit pay is
important. I think it really does matter. I don't think marginal employees should
feel bad that they didn't get an increase because marginal employees at
Albertson's don't get one either. They sometimes get fired. I don't necessarily
think - I don't think we need to gear our pay structure, salaries or the like for the
marginal employee we should find the ways to reward the outstanding
employees. I think sometimes with the STEP Program we get a little locked in
our mindset of trying to make sure everybody gets at that three percent level
instead of saying that employee deserves six because they are outstanding
rather that employee deserves three because they showed up. What happens
sometimes I think in some of the departments from my discussions is that we do
a really good job on the front end and you get to your 11 year mark and you've
been outstanding now you don't get an increase for the rest of your life. That
doesn't help you to keep employees. You've got about a 10-year window and
then you're really lucky if you've got an employee after 10 years here to continue
to perform at a high level. We're missing something there. Something's a miss.
The other thing that we don't do people work for the government for lots of
reasons and pay isn't always one of them. Sometimes it is the stability that
they're looking for that the private sector doesn't offer. Sometimes it is the
benefits that the private sector doesn't offer. Sometimes it is the convenience
the ease. They live in this town the sense of public service that people have that
they want to do that. That they have a skill set that really fits the public sector
better than the private sector. Sometimes it's the alternatives that we can come
up with that creates a better work environment and a work atmosphere that at
least in t he last year and a half that I've been here we haven't really focuses
much on. One of the things I've talked with Pauline about and talked to the
Council Members about is just the small piece but for certain people in this city a
great incentive would be flex time. If you had flextime for especially, support staff
that's a tremendous incentive. I have four secretaries that work for my team and
they have flextime. They all work - they all have a three day weekend every
other week. That's a tremendous value to stay if you can get a three-day
weekend every other week. They've - all of them have said they've had
opportunities to look elsewhere and they cannot find that in the private sector.
Unless you own the business that doesn't happen. That's the one positive thing
about flextime is it's free. It doesn't cost anything other than the logistics of
managing but other than that it doesn't cost anything to do that. We have talked
periodically up here about other employee incentives. Whether it's bonuses,
whether it's - and bonuses I know is a bad word. Some type of employee
rewards that are sometimes very small monetarily but yet have tremendous
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop
July 18, 2003
Pg. 19 of 108
incentive to creating a positive work environment. We don't do that. We don't
give an employee a gift card for doing a great job we just wait until their merit
time comes around or wait until their anniversary date comes around. Those
things can provide tremendous incentive and give people a reason to work here
beyond just paying benefits. I think if we just stick with that mindset of paying
benefits, only year after year we will price ourselves out of the market because
we can't afford it. We just won't be able to keep up if that's their only way of
compensating employees. I think we have to tackle this question I guess but we
also need to look beyond that after we set this budget. Whether we revisit this
issue later that we're going to have to find other ways to be creative in creating a
positive environment for our employees and get the culture and mindset away
from just paying benefits. We just won't ever be able to keep up with that with
the way the current economy is. The way the governmental structure is the way
taxes are we're just never going to compete in that level so we have to find other
reasons. I think if you surveyed your employees and asked them to be creative,
you may get lots of feedback as to what would matter to them. Why do they work
here? Why do they continue to work here? Is it just pay and benefits? I would
have guessed for many of them it's not. They like the environment they like the
people they want to be compensated fairly but if you found other ways to
compensate them, they would still find this to be a pretty attractive place to be. I
think we need to look beyond the box that we're in now so that we don't wrestle
with this every year.
McCandless: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. McCandless.
McCandless: I totally agree with what Bill has just said. Looking back over my
own work year's loyalty paid a big part of it. If you had good departments to work
in good Department Heads that worried about the department's environment and
their employees your loyalty would keep you there no matter what. I think we
have a very good bunch of Department Heads. I think we have a good working
environment and J think it will keep people here if they understand what we're
doing what we're trying to do. I don't think money is the most important thing. I
really don't. Our benefits have always been really good and we've worked hard.
Pauline has worked hard to keep them at that and I think people understand that
we have to change from time to time because of outside influences. I think the
environment we work in is extremely important too. I think you've all done a
really good job.
Corrie: As long as we get on a philosophical kick here Mrs. McCandless, myself,
Keith when we were growing up the longevity of an employment was the thing to
strive for. Today it's not. They move around considerably quicker five years I
think a lot of them are moving around. We're in a different culture now. Then
also we have to think in the background the big brother is really thinking hard
about charging taxes on benefits. If they do that then we really have our hands
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop
July 18. 2003
Pg. 20 of 108
full because they have an asaciable appetite for money and that's where they're
looking right now from what I'm gathering from Washington D.C. We have to
keep those in mind and I think Bill is right. We have to help our employees to
want to stay but the culture is a little different than our time.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: You're 100 percent right. It kind of takes me back because for a guy that
worked for 42 years for the same company that had the same paycheck
signature on the paycheck I never realized what it's like to be outside of one
company atmosphere. That's just the way our culture was raised up was to do it.
Now kids I can name you 20 year old kids who has had more jobs in their little
work lifetime then I'll ever have. I think it's - I agree with Councilman Nary that
there are a lot of things that we need to look at and stuff. It's something that
we've got to take care of and we need to take care of it. I don't believe it's
always benefits and I don't believe it's always wages that keep people working. I
know of a couple of a young attorneys that work for the AG's office that went out
in private, found out that having to work more than 40 hours a week they didn't
like. The benefits were a little better the wages were a little better but they didn't
like having to work more than 40 hours a week. Now they're both back at the
AG's office. I think t here's just a lot of stuff to t hat kind of mentality too and
there's nothing wrong with that definitely nothing wrong. You get out in the
private world and you're going to work 60, 70 hours a week and probably not get
compensated for it too in most jobs. There are a lot of pros and cons to it but we
just need to be fair and make sure that we aren't - my philosophy is that we have
to be fair to everybody. There's just not one department in this city there's not
two departments it's everybody. Everybody is an employee and everybody is a
very important employee.
Corrie: With that being said (inaudible) go do.
De Weerd: I know I was going to say let's roll up our sleeves.
Corrie: Now we'll roll up our sleeves and go to work.

Pg. 21 of 108
Nary: Oh okay. Maybe we can cover that (inaudible) basin, take a little break,
and then get to it.
Corrie: Go ahead Steve.
Siddoway: Good morning.
Corrie: Welcome.
Siddoway: Did you want to - did you have questions for me or did you want me
to address the budget to you?
Bird: Yes well the budget I guess.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Okay Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: Yes Steve if you can just give us an overview of what the MDC's
budget is for next year, I think the question is is do we - since you're paying
back the $60,000 do you really need it up front and how much do you really need
up front before the tax increment financing comes in.
Siddoway: A fair question. We had requested $60,000 and as I understand it,
there was some consternation over whether we should be funding the hiring of a
director, the office space and supplies for that person, and perhaps even the
grant writing services because we are discussing becoming a member of SAGE.
All fair points because I agree that the MDC would not want to enter into any
contract with a director until they have their own funds and a continuous funding
source in place. From that perspective, I would say yes those things could drop
out from the request. However, at the last meeting of the MDC when we
amended our budget we did add in a 15,000-dollar item for a vision study. We
do see a need up front and early to dovetail the market study that we're currently
working on with a master plan vision study of the downtown. We would like to
fund that up front and early in the next fiscal year. Therefore, I would request
that we change the line items but keep the total request at $60,000 and that
$60,000 would be repaid within the same fiscal year.
Nary: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: We have this amended one Steve. It's got completing the market study is
25,000 the downtown vision study is $15,000. The traffic parking solution study
is another $15,000.
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop
July 18, 2003
Pg. 22 of 108
Siddoway: Yes.
Nary: So that's what you're talking about right?
Siddoway: That is.
Nary: Then the other 5,000 would be for like legal costs and that kind of thing.
Siddoway: Certainly we will have up front legal costs. The market study will be
ongoing. The vision study needs to happen right away. The traffic and parking
solutions is a current ongoing issue. That $55,000 is needed early in the fiscal
year. We do have ongoing legal costs on a monthly basis so I think the $60,000
is right in line with what we will need to keep going at our rate that we want to
anyway for the start of the fiscal year.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Stacy what was published? Which budget was published in the paper?
Kilchenmann: The one that I gave you with the yellow bars on it.
Nary: Not this revised.
Bird: Not this revised so now we have to re-publish this.
Kilchenmann: No.
De Weerd: No.
Bird: You don't.
Corrie: I don't think you do.
Bird: What?
Corrie: I don't think you do.
Bird: I thought you did.
Corrie: If it's the one that they -
Nary: This one here is what he is talking from this one that has -

Kilchenmann: Yes.
De Weerd: Yes that's the detail to it. You also got another one.
Corrie: The yellow one.
Siddoway: This one is correct.
Kilchenmann: So it's more -
Bird: It's just general yes.
Nary: Just general I got it.
Bird: But we don't have to re-publish.
De Weerd: It just doesn't give the detail on the studies and that sort of thing.
Siddoway: Yes it lumps the studies together under professional services.
Bird: Because I know we're short time. We're (inaudible).
Nary: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: For the legal costs is that a monthly flat around or is that an hourly that Mr.
Armbruster gets?
Siddoway: It's an hourly fee.
Nary: Okay and has MDC looked at other attorneys?
Siddoway: We interviewed two when they were selected. We interviewed White
Peterson and Elam and Burke. Elam and Burke was selected.
Nary: Thanks.
Corrie: Anything else?
Siddoway: Any other questions?
Corrie: Cover it up - no, [ mean not cover it up. I'm really on a roll today.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
Corrie: Well let's get back to the primary reason we're here for the next 30
minutes. Shall we just like you suggested go to-
Kilchenmann : Yes we have the Police Department up there and -
Corrie: This is the new right that they're asking?
Kilchenmann: Yes there's the two with the grants and we'll add that back in on
the revenue side. We'll show the total cost because we'll need to appropriate the
total cost and then when we get back to the general funds somebody that has
everyone will add the grants into the revenue so it will net out.
Corrie: Okay.
(Inaudible discussion amongst Council Members)
Kilchenmann: Are there any changes to what they're requesting?
Corrie: (Inaudible).
Kilchenmann: Actually the cost for FY04 for the school -
Nary: Just a second we're not on the record yet.
Corrie: Oh we need to get on the record. Are we on the record?
Berg: Yes we've been going.
Nary: I'm sorry I thought it was off.
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop
July 18,2003
Pg. 25 of 108
Berg: When you said that we'd get back to the business.
Corrie: Okay thank you.
Kilchenmann: So the cost of the School Resource Officer will actually net out to
be $17,305 and the Crime Prevention will be $5,900 for 04.
De Weerd: So it doesn't say that.
Corrie: It says 64 why doesn't it say 59.
Cunningham: Okay the actual expense will still be there in the budget so what
we have to do is increase the revenue for the grant money. If I go to the
summary, what we did at the bottom is we added in the project safe grant
increased revenue $127,000.
Corrie: Okay thank you. That's right we have to make the two work.
Cunningham: So that's what we did. Then I'm making the changes on the police
now. See, we just have the shortfall of 46. That does not include a ny merit
increases. We still have that at zero. Now do you guys want to move to fire?
Nary: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I guess before we do that I mean I think the Number 1 thing we need to do
I think the police have been very good at trying to find these alternatives. I think
we need to make sure we - I think we acknowledge that and I think we really
need to support that. The other issue is on some of these things that both
warrant on the merits priority list are the ones that are somewhat smaller
numbers. Have we taken out the reserve police officer request then?
Cunningham: Yes.
Bird: That's what the wanted out.
Nary: Okay. I guess the only other discussion point I think that certainly the
Number 1 priority the three officers for the full year is an absolute need. I don't
think there's any real doubt about that. I don't know whether or not the three
officers for the half year it certainly saves us the first year it won't save us next
year and we'll have six new bodies to be paying another full year on. I don't
know whether or not we want to have a discussion about that if everyone's
comfortable with the half year you want to look at a quarter of a year you want to
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop
July 18, 2003
Pg, 26 of 108
look at not I don't know. A year would save us a little bit up front as well but
starting in July rather than in April.
Bird: I think they're being very fair and asking for just a half year myself. I don't
think -
Kilchenmann: You will in order to give any kind of merit though something's
going to have to be cut.
Bird: Yes. Of course that resource officer deal actually wound up only costing us
something like $5,900 because of the grant and stuff that we -
Nary: 17 for the resource.
Kilchenmann: We already have that in there and you're still 46 (inaudible).
Bird: I can't see opening Mountain View High School without a resource officer
over there myself.
De Weerd: Yes, we have that in there.
Bird: I think those three - I think those one, two, three I think we need to really
look hard at. You know you bring it on a half year you're going to pay overtime.
That's the thing that's been killing us on the fire is instead of hiring some fireman
and getting them 0 ut 0 n the - getting them trained and 0 ut there we've been
paying guys $80,000 or better to come back and sit for two hours.
Kilchenmann: Our overtime on the fire station just goes up with every person
you hire.
Nary: Well the other thing and I know this is a capital expense as well. This is a
- Captain didn't remember exactly what this mileage was for this car. These
three need to be replaced they're all at the 90,000 mark.
Bird: All four of them need to be replaced.
Nary: Okay and that's fine.
Bird: I've ridden in a couple of those and I've been surprised when we went over
a bump that we weren't going down on the frame.
Nary: And I don't have a problem with that but I think something's going to have
to give. I think we can - if we fund all of the this we're not going to have enough
for other things if we do that.
Bird: I think all they were asking us to fund was the first three items wasn't it?

Corrie: Yes crime prevention we could but if we-
Nary: Well but this was only $5,900. Remember most of this was out of the
grant so we almost have to fund that. We have to fund the $5,900.
Bird: Yes that's true.
Nary: And we have to certainly fund that. I think this is the only real discussion
point of funding. This is basically all they went was from a 47,000-dollar request
to a cabinet so I don't think there's any real issue there. I think that's fine. I think
this is the only one that we have to decide do you want to have three at a half
year. Do you want to have less than three at a half year do you want to have
none at the next year?
Corrie: Well the main point of the half-year for three patrol officers is my
understanding is that they can't get them into the academy until after that. That's
rather than having a full year of on they will wait until they get the academy and
come back. Either you're going to do it now or you will next year because they're
going to be three short.
Kilchenmann: The only thing we have to remember is that when we fund those
then next year we have a full year. Then those grants are only for two years so
when those grants run out in two years we'll have the full cost of those people so
we're just postponing -
De Weerd: The increase on our base.
Corrie: Yes but you do need those grants to help you on those two years ahead
of time.
Kilchenmann: Right I'm just saying that maybe we can't afford all six officers at
this point.
Corrie: Can you afford not to have them?
Kilchenmann: I can't.
Corrie: Well yes but I'm talking a bout t he people 0 ut here in this community.
What do they see?
Kilchenmann: But something - we just have to put something.
Corrie: Well yes we do but we also have to think of some other things too. I'm a
little cautious about - and I realize three officers are good but next year they're
going to come back and do the same thing and we're going to give them three. I

don't know where you have to cut but they're down to $394,000. They were at -
what was it?
Nary: 722.
Corrie: $692,000 or eight I'm sorry. Granted you don't get everything you need
that's for sure. Three is better than none to some degree.
Nary: I think three's a given. It's the other three is whether or not that's an
affordable number right now.
Bird: The argument is the half-year guys. The three at a half-year.
De Weerd: If we brought them on in July and made them - because I think we
do need them.
Nary: Oh, I think we do.
De Weerd: And we'll be needing them you know in years to come. If we look at
- if we could save the three months and yes it does increase your base going
into next year's well but that's just what we'll have to realize. Then we'll really
have a narrowing gap. You could split that in half to what $74,000. Then you
would have $74,000 then we'll have $20,000 in the good.
Nary: Right.
Cunningham: Actually we can only cut the wages because they're still going to
want the car. They're going to need the operating for the car and uniform
allowance.
De Weerd: Oh okay so that doesn't split it in half then?
Nary: No.
De Weerd: That's (inaudible).
Corrie: What's in their base budget?
Nary: It still saves $40,000.
Corrie: You're assuming so much for base budget?
De Weerd: Is everyone okay with the base?
Corrie: Well that's what I'm looking at if there was anything. I went through there
and looked at it.

De Weerd: Do you feel comfortable with the base Bill?
Nary: On the police?
De Weerd: Yes.
Nary: The one expense I did see in the base for police that I was a little curious
about is there's a professional services base of $14,000 that's never - that's a
new item I think?
Cunningham: That's actually for that fine officer.
Nary: Is that what that's for?
Cunningham: It is.
Nary: And the prosecution amount I think is too high.
Kilchenmann: Yes I think we can-
Nary: I think the prosecution amount could probably be cut about $50,000.
Bird: I was going to say that's a lot higher than our contract.
Nary: Right but I don't think the contract - well the contract increase if you took
the current contract and increase it three percent.
Cunningham: 160,000.
Nary: How much would that be $45,000.
Cunningham: 48.
Nary: $48,000.
Cunningham: $4,800.
Nary: $4,800 because I don't - even if you increased it five percent for anything
over because that includes - the current contract includes an extra cost for victim
witness service I think. That's kind of intangible to know how much it's going to
be. I think if you took the current contract which the victim witness services are
an add on to that -
Bird: That's where I don't know.
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop
July 18, 2003
Pg. 30 of 108
Nary: So even if you took a 10 percent increase total that includes victim witness
you would still be looking at -
Cunningham: 176.
Nary: Yes and that's plenty.
Kilchenmann: We took $50,000 off.
Nary: So if you took $50,000 off for that base. Now the other one I thought was
pretty curious on the base one is the 1,286 percent increase to seminars and
training.
Bird: That's what we can't figure out.
Nary: That seems fairly significant.
Cunningham: We talked about that this morning. If you go to the second page
because what we did is, the police actually had two separate accounts for
training and they wanted one for the admin training and one for the rest of the
officer training. Then we decided to combine them back together we didn't like
the two separate accounts.
Nary: So when you take those two together it really is probably about the same.
Kilchenmann: Yes it is the same.
Nary: Yes and the interest expense is fixed I assume right that 500,000.
Bird: Yes.
Corrie: One of the things that the attorney talked to me about was when they
might want to court on this charting as for the assessment on the building that we
go to the bank. He said it's probably going to cost us about $10,000 but we'll
save $50,000. They think they can win that they really do so we must think about
that.
Nary: Right that's on the civil side.
Corrie: Right all right.
Nary: But we still probably need to budget the property taxes in case we don't.
Corrie: Right exactly.
Nary: We probably need to budget that anyway.
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop

Corrie: That's right.
Nary: And we may have to look to increasing some on the civil side.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: On the electricity on Page 2 Idaho Power you have $36,000 budgeted in
and the most actual is $17,000. How come we doubled the budget item?
Cunningham: We actually didn't double it we just left it the same. Because now
they're in the building for the full summer so we're going to find out what air
conditioning costs are really going to be.
Corrie: Oh the current is $36,000 and we've only used $12,000.
De Weerd: Yes but that's a projected. Right now, the current is $9,000.
Cunningham: Yes that was as of March.
Berg: They haven't been in there a full year.
De Weerd: That was of March.
Kilchenmann: These figures are March.
Corrie: We're projecting 17 to $18,000.
Berg: October to March.
Cunningham: October to March six months.
De Weerd: But still the projection is close to $18,000.
Kilchenmann: All that projection does is double it.
Cunningham: Yes it just takes it and -
Kilchenmann: And their high part the high cost for them in the summer. I hate to
change their building cost because they're always coming up with some new
expense that they didn't plan on.
Cunningham: I think next year we'll have a real idea of what their electricity is
going to be. Then if we have it budgeted too high we'll bring it down.

Corrie: Overtime wages $120,000.
Bird: And we throw $5,000 in for employee education reimbursement and we've
never used it.
Kilchenmann: We're using it now because Bill Musser is going to school.
De Weerd: Okay that's one. You know we just think that instead of - things that
have always been there that they're justified. That they put in okay who's going
to be using this this next year needs to put it in so we can plan it for the budget
instead of carrying forward a bunch of money that is never used then it goes into
a fund that then we can never really get a better idea of where we really are.
Kilchenmann: I know.
Cunningham: We did talk to Bill about taking that out. He assures us that there's
going to be some going to continuing their education.
De Weerd: Okay.
Berg: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council that is something that's in our
personnel policy that any employee could address. At one time, you could have
all of your employees taking advantage of that. Obviously, he didn't say pencil in
every employee with that possibility. It's one of those things that are really tough
but see if you don't use it hopefully, it goes back into your capital outlay for the
next year. That's always the way it's kind of been projected for what might be
possible but that's stated in our personnel policy and anyone could address it. I
could have all my staff be going to college for a class and I would have to
reimburse it because of what we said in our personnel policy. I think I know what
you're saying Tammy, but I think it's also you have to plan something in there
even though we didn't use it last year. Thank you we saved money but it might
not happen this year. It is stated in our personnel policy that they could do it.
Corrie: How much money do you think they're going to have left over for this
year to date? I mean do they have it spent. Do you have any idea? That's a
crystal ball question.
Kilchenmann: Yes because their overtime is high. Actually when Mike and I
looked at it last month and it we looked at the over accounts versus the under
accounts they all come out about (inaudible),
Corrie: Okay.
Nary: Mr. Mayor.
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop
July 18, 2003
Pg. 33 of 108
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Maybe one of the things we could do too and I don't recall do we have a
policy of what benefit if any the departments gain by saving money.
Kilchenmann: No we don't.
Nary: So maybe one of the things we could consider as a group as a policy on
what to do with those savings. Obviously they go back to general fund but
providing those incentives to the departments that can save money that we can
basically return that money back to them a percentage of it towards again, I don't
know whether it's employee incentive or something else. That provides some
reason not to go spend the money in September, which I think is kind of common
In-
Kilchenmann: Government.
Nary: -- government. Everybody goes to seminars in September because we
use up the rest of the money. That might be something as a group we could
consider is some policy to provide that level of incentive that if it's saved a
percentage will go back to that department for something else.
Kilchenmann: Correct.
Nary: Did you guys hear that.
De Weerd: No.
Nary: Did you say no?
De Weerd: Yes.
Nary: Okay.
Corrie: I was wondering if they got it (inaudible) they got it.
De Weerd: No I didn't.
Nary: Oh I said what we may want to do as a policy is provide incentives to the
departments to save money is to provide them something that some of that
money that stays saved could be returned back to them. Whether it's for
employee incentive or something else we could decide what that is or the
department could come forward saying we got five percent back of what we
returned back to the city this is what we want to use it for.
De Weerd: I would love to do that. I think that's great.
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop
July 18, 2003
Pg. 34 of 108
Nary: Do you want to use it for that wish list item that extra thing that they think
will enhance their employees lives and their workspace. It might be something
again to provide better incentive internally to the department as well as the
department as a whole saying if we save money we're going to get a benefit out
of it either way.
De Weerd: You're amazing Bill.
Nary: Well because one of the things we found in Boise, which has been very
frustrating, is what they do is they fund departments at 98 percent of what they
request. Well, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that you really asked
for 102 percent of what you think you need so that you end up with what you
really wanted. I don't know that that's always the best way to do it but if you at
least provide that incentive the other way you'll get something else.
De Weerd: Well as long as your projections are within your historical I think as
long as you don't obviously inflate it that then there are actual savings. You are
being frugal. I have noticed in these vehicle maintenance lines do we have a lot
of really crappy cars that we anticipate a lot of vehicle maintenance issues.
Historically, these numbers that are budgeted are not really substantiated. Do
we have some really bad cars that -
Kilchenmann: Well we budget $500 a car. That's just our policy. The thing that
happens is hopefully you have some cars. Most cars that won't need repairs
because one care like we had to fix the air conditioner in Terry's car and that's
almost $500 right there. You hate to take that down because if you do have any
kind of repair -
Nary: And by sticking with our program on replacing police vehicles, we should
eventually be able to lower that cost. The problem has been is we have spent
more than $500 on a lot of patrol cars because the mileage is high. If we can
keep to that program which is where they're asking for these replacement
vehicles then maybe eventually we'll be a little bit more level.
McCandless: Plus they get a lot harder use than a normal car does.
Nary: Sure.
Cunningham: And on the police, we actually give $800 per vehicle on their
repairs or on their maintenance because that's for tires. They usually go through
a set every year.
De Weerd: Well the tires yes.

Corrie: One of the things I was looking at how come employee insurance - are
you just taking that as a some went up a lot some just a little?
Kilchenmann: We just took it at - we just used an average.
Corrie: Okay I was looking at the animal control adjustment of $6,000.
Kilchenmann: Went up -
Corrie: That takes in everything considering?
Cunningham: Actually last year what we did is we literally took every single
employee line by line and said okay do they have a family are they single? What
are their actual insurance costs? This year we took it and we actually averaged it
all out, came up with an amount, and said okay we're going to need $7,500 per
employee on an average. We're going to have some of those divisions like the
animal control they are actually I think two single women or they have minimal
insurance so there is extra change. You're going to see some different changes
like that throughout the department.
Corrie: Did you take into consideration on animal control also that we're going to
have to do our own euthanasia work and otherwise Boise is charging us $25 a
dog or a cat.
Cunningham: From what [ understand the Police Department is looking at doing
those themselves.
Corrie: Okay yes I know they are so that's what I wanted to make sure that's in
here because they don't - that's a $5,000 bill to Boise if they keep going over
there. I know they were talking about it.
Cunningham: They want to do it in house.
Corrie: I just wanted to make sure that they're covered in there somewhere.
Cunningham: Yes.
Corrie: One thing I was going to ask if we do that three police officers that fourth
of a year nine months are they going to be able to get them in the academy, back
and started at that time or will they - is it a timing problem for them?
Kilchenmann: I don't know.
Corrie: If they get them in the academy early then they have to hire them. They
can't have an interview. If they get out of the academy and there's three months
that they don't.
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop
July 18, 2003
Pg. 36 of 108
Cunningham: Are they employees while they're in the academy?
Nary: Yes.
Corrie: Yes that's how come they only wanted half of them over here because
they couldn't get them all in the academy and they couldn't train all of them at the
same time so they were cutting them up.
Cunningham: So it really means they wouldn't actually have the officers in house
until probably the next fiscal year?
Nary: Right. Yes. I guess the question is, is if we can't start them in April does it
even - isn't it even worth starting them in July or would they rather just wait till
October if we couldn't do that because-
Kilchenmann: They don't know the timing of the academy.
Corrie: Because that academy works on a time schedule so I just thought about
that. I wouldn't want to get them in the academy then have to wait three months
to put them on line. Somebody else is going to take them believe me at their
academy. Yes, they have to go to the academy.
Nary: They have to go - Idaho is the only state that doesn't require you go to the
academy prior to becoming a police officer. You can actually work up to a year
before you have to go to the academy. We as a department a city have decided
which is for good reasons not to do that. To not have, people out there working
without having gone to the academy. They get hired on, they go to the academy
and then they come back out of the academy and they work. That's a good
reason we should continue to do that but I think the Mayor has raised a good
point is the academy has reserved slots for the city. If they can't start in April, I'm
assuming they risk taking the academy at that time was what the intent is. We'll
have people hired so that their start date can be April 1st then go to the fairly
immediately so they're not getting paid to not do anything. If they can't start until
July is that going to make a difference that it mayor may not matter. Either they
have to start in April or not until October.
De Weerd: Can we have someone call and find out.
Kilchenmann: I'll go call them.
Corrie: Okay or they may have to hire three officers that have academy training
too. That may be happening because we start them at a higher salary so we
might be able to pick up somewhere else if it's a chess mate type thing for police.
Okay. We could hire three and at the ninth month already have academy
experience and that would be great but I don't know whether we can or not.

De Weerd: Reta, did you also add in the amount that rural is going to be paying
for the fire engine? I guess that's something that we need to discuss is does that
go into general revenues or does that less money get taken out of the fire engine
fund?
Cunningham: No it actually increases our revenues so we actually need to put it
down there where we have the fire truck funds. If you'll notice on my screen,
we've already changed the general fund summary.
De Weerd: Okay so you took less out of the fire truck fund.
Cunningham: Yes then added $90,000 increased the rural fire share.
De Weerd: Thank you. Because I thought yesterday you said that it was
probably, an item we should discuss.
Cunningham: When I talked with Kenny last he said that they were talking about
- rural fire was talking about actually paying a portion. Evidently, he came
yesterday and said they decided they would?
De Weerd: They are, it's in their budget proposal.
Corrie: This is the point where rural fire has more money.
Cunningham: And they can afford it.
Corrie: Yes luckily because of the mill levy. They need to do their (inaudible).
Cunningham: Is there anything else in the police base?
Corrie: I don't have any I think. Anybody else have anything?
De Weerd: No.
Nary: I'm sorry.

Cunningham: [actually wasn't here for the fire presentation. Did they make any
changes?
De Weerd: Well we had a couple of discussion items. One is on the mobile data
terminals why those don't come out of the Title 31 funds.
Corrie: Yes and I haven't gotten back to them. Nobody could talk to me that had
any idea 0 f what there is I can dot hat. Maybe I can give t hem a call tot he
County Commissioners-
***End Of Side Two***
Corrie: -- yes Mr. Nary.
Nary: On the I guess the one - two things for me. The knox box although that
sounds like a very nice addition I don't know how necessary it is at this juncture.
I guess I wasn't totally sold that was really a need. The other one is the inspector
that contracted inspections. That to me should go with the other inspections
that's a special services type of need and should move over there. Again, it's a
contracted service but I think it should go over there because fees are going to
cover the cost of that. That's what we've been working on anyway. I guess to
me I don't see that that needs to be in the fire budget and I think the knox box
again I don't - I hate having to pay for the Opticoms but I think we need them. I
hate having to pay for the MDT terminals but I think we need them. Now if they
get paid by other sources at some point that's great. Same thing with the thermal
imaging unit I think Council Member Bird was right in thinking that we probably
get that funded but I think we need it if we can. I think it's another one of those
things that needs to be funded at this point. If we can certainly get donations or
something else that would help off set that cost that's great but I think we need it
anyway. The office assistant I didn't really have a feel one-way or the other on
whether or not that was a necessity.
Corrie: Comments.
Kilchenmann: Well just going back to the police. I just talked to Bill and he said
actually there is an academy that starts July 1st so he said they could definitely
work with that.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you Stacy. I think with the office assistant and Kenny
touched on it yesterday but with two more stations, it does kind of give them a
little bit more flexibility.
Nary: That's true.
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop
July 18, 2003

Corrie: (inaudible) we need.
De Weerd: Well yes but Greta is only in Station 1 so that gives them two other
sub-stations that -
Corrie: They can move around.
Nary: Well that makes sense.
Corrie: I think that might be a good idea. I've gone by Station 2 and there wasn't
a soul around. One of my suggestions to Council is that the Fire Department
look at an opportunity to at least have a phone out front because people go to the
fire station if they're in trouble or need something and there's nobody there what
do I do. They panic. If they have a phone at least a 911 phone on the outside
and I'll talk to the County on that. I think they should have something that they
can contact 911 if they don't have a cell phone or what have you they'll go to the
fire station and they've actually been there when I got there. They said what do
we do and I said I can't get in either. I called through the dispatch on my car
radio but that's something the Council might want to direct me to find out if we
can get the county or the sheriff or somebody to put a phone in there. They're
out - it's not because they're not there for any reason but they're out looking at
different things, inspections and they're not there. Okay again I'm talking to you
but I'm talking to the Council at the same time. Okay.
Bird: I agree with you Mayor I think it's a very, very good idea and we do need
something like that. I'm the same as you I've been there and nobody has been
there. I have no idea how to get in or - and if I was looking for an emergency I
would be in trouble. I think it's something we definitely need to look at. I have to
agree with Councilman Nary I think we need thermal imaging units. If we can get
them donated that's just $12,000 they can put back in something else. We have
to have the Opticoms who pays for them and we can argue that out. That
electric knox box for engine I think that's $5,500 that we can do without. The
contractor inspection should be over in the inspection contractor division not at
the Fire Department to start with. The mobile data terminals are another one we
have to have and who pays for them we can argue. The part time assistant I'm
like him I think that now that you have one more deal on and you have another
one coming on you need a part time secretary for them to move around.
Nary: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: On the base budget at least in my look through on the base budget the
only one that I guess if is any notice to me was seminars and training for fire as
well. I am not against seminars and training I think it's a very good thing but if
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop
July 18.2003
Pg. 40 of 108
you look at the factual of 2002 was $15,000 the projected this year and I
recognize it is just double of what happens from March to October but that's
$8,000. Thirty-four seems huge and I think you could move that base down to
about 20 and still cover what they've done at least historically and have some
money available that can be used. That's the only one that jumped off the page
at me unless there is something that's planned that's just not - if it's just because
of the potential that seems like a lot of money.
De Weerd: Yes.
Kilchenmann: Do you want me to call them?
Nary: Sure if you wouldn't mind.
De Weerd: Yes call Bill and see if there's anything specific.
Nary: Otherwise I think if you put it down to about 20 that should cover at least
what they've historically done and if there's increased costs I know all of those
trainings - any training in any field anywhere costs more than you ever
remembered. Any training anybody has ever been to.
Corrie: One of the things is the fireman are demanding that they get paid to go to
training.
Bird: Yes they get their salary.
Corrie: And I can't get that in my thought. If they're on duty why should we pay
them extra but that's a union that's something that's (inaudible) I guess.
Cunningham: I think what Kenny's done is he's actually put in $1,000 per
employee it's just kind of his standard. You're right I haven't seen him spend it.
Corrie: And it's there in case they use it.
De Weerd: And I think training continues to be an issue and a concern. Their
focus and in their strategic plan training has been an item that's been a high
priority. Certainly one that has come up in discussions with the Firefighters so
they may have specific plans I just don't know specifically what they are to
answer you on that.
Nary: Everything else in the base looked really pretty reasonable in line with
either historically or what's being spent in this budget year. That was the only
one that sort of jumped out.
Corrie: And they use the money that's in the fire truck fund to pay for the new
engine plus the money that the rural is giving right?

equipped as well.

ahead and put that to billing?
De Weerd: Yes.
Nary: Move it over.
Corrie: And I think I'm like Mr. Nary in that lock knox box when they were saying
(inaudible) think of a Captain that's getting paid enough that he can be
responsible for that.
Cunningham: So eliminate the-
Corrie: It's nice to have. It's great but I think a Captain should be responsible for
that there's one in every truck. He's the guy and if he can't control that I think I
would be re-Iook at the requirements for Captain. I've got to be careful what I
say-
Nary: No you don't.
Corrie: Up to a point. I don't want to embarrass anybody or add but I think it's
necessary.
Nary: Yes people do need to think a little more before they just say things off the
top of their head.
De Weerd: You know Jonathan is on he's leaving town so he doesn't really care
on the Mayor said.
Corrie: Jonathan would you like another donut?
De Weerd: Remember he could have short timers attitude.
Corrie: Jonathan doesn't have a short timers attitude though.
Cunningham: Then the other item you guys were discussing was the thermal
imaging unit.

Corrie: Yes I would like to take that on. My tinier here is and kind of
spearheaded that because I think we can get it.
Bird: I think we can too but I think we need to leave it in there Mayor.
Corrie: Well yes I agree with you but I think we can get the money and they don't
have that much more money. I don't mean to take it out but I thought about it but
I haven't ever (inaudible) now but I think we should get that.
Nary: Yes I think we need to leave it in in case we can't.
Corrie: In case they don't yes.
Nary: Because I think we need it.
Cunningham: They could contact the girl scouts because that one-year we
raised like $5,000 towards that unit.
De Weerd: And the K-kids.
Cunningham: Yes I know.
Nary: If you take $14,000 out of this base you can pay for it too.
Corrie: I can always float down the river again and call people to give money to
get me out of the river.
Cunningham: There you go.
Corrie: They'll probably give the money to stay in the river.
De Weerd: Let's move on. Are we done with fire?
Corrie: I think so unless you have something that you need to-
De Weerd: Not yet.
PARKS DEPARTMENT
Corrie: Okay parks.
De Weerd: How did you plan that one?
Nary: His ears were burning.

Bird: He trimmed this pretty good to start with guys. I tell you they worked hard
on this Parks and Rec. Doug and Elroy worked very, very hard on it.
Nary: I think that must be based on a (inaudible).
Corrie: It could be yes. That may be yes.
Cunningham: I had a question about the 8th Street footbridge. Was that actually
funded out of impact fees or general funds?
Corrie: No, general fund.
Cunningham: General fund okay.
De Weerd: Well we -
Bird: It's eliminated.
Cunningham: It's eliminated.
Corrie: Yes I think Doug said -
Cunningham: Take it out.
Corrie: -- caport yes. I had bleachers and tennis courts.
Nary: The tennis court issue I mean I guess I'm not sure why that wouldn't be
impact fees. We're still developing that park but -
De Weerd: They did have it as impact fees.
Nary: Oh, it is an impact fee? Not on this-
Corrie: Tennis courts, is that an impact fee?
De Weerd: It's in italic.
Cunningham: I don't have it listed as impact fees but you're right it could be.
Corrie: Could it be?
Cunningham: Yes Bear Creek-
Corrie: Okay.

Nary: Certainly, if the developer wants to step up and pay for part of it. Those
are the ones we want to encourage.
De Weerd: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mrs. de Weerd.
De Weerd: When we talked about this park and the tennis courts were put in
there kind of depending on what the high school did. The high school is putting
in a number of tennis courts. I know I'll get an argument from our City Clerk but jf
the Mayor doesn't recognize him, he doesn't have an argument.
Corrie: Are you telling me how to do my job?
Nary: We would never do that.
De Weerd: But I think when this was originally discussed at the Commission it
was put in there as just a last option depending on what the high school did. The
high school is putting in a number of tennis courts, which will add to any deficit
that's over here. Right now, I just think we need to be careful with how much we
spend in our impact fees because it still does need to be matched until the
change is made. We can't get too lop-sided. I just want to proceed with caution
and things that we absolutely have to have.
Corrie: Good point. That's a good point.
Nary: Well and if I guess Mr. Mayor I'm sorry.
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Even if it is impact fees and we don't opt to fund that at this juncture again
I don't think we're spending all the impact fees it will still be there. If that is
something that we feel there is a need to and Mr. Strong feels there is, a need to
we would certainly revisit that at a later time.
Corrie: Maybe use that $20,000 somewhere else that's true that's more
important than the convenience.
Nary: Well and I think the one thing with tennis courts is there is some ongoing
maintenance that's probably the one issue that maybe we need a little bit more
understanding of because I think there is some cost to that. I don't know how
significant it is. Ball fields generally have a different kind of ongoing maintenance
that may not be quite as expensive.

Corrie: What about that seasonal groundskeepers Doug. You talked about a
little bit of it yesterday. Do you really need that one? I know you need the
groundskeeper.
Strong: (Inaudible).
Corrie: Did everybody hear that they have him full time then part time at the end
of it?
De Weerd: We want it on the record though.
Corrie: That was our discussion between the Department Heads.
Strong: We're going to have full time groundskeeper than part time. We had to
eliminate one of the two positions we'd rather see the part time go.
Corrie: Okay.
Nary: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I guess my thoughts on that I don't have - looking at the numbers and the
number of people that we have and the volume of the ground that has to be
cared for I guess I don't have a real heartburn with one more full time
groundskeeper. I think Mr. Strong did hear yesterday at least my thought is we
really need to look at contracting for some of the service of maintenance whether
it's for the minimal maintenance that the undeveloped parks require or whether
it's simply the more the maintenance that really can be carried out like cutting the
grass and the like. I think some of t he things like maintaining the equipment
should be done by our employees. I think there's some responsibility and
accountability when things that could injure somebody have to be maintained but
really, anybody can cut the grass. I think for the future and looking at
maintenance you probably want to at least explore that option out there in the
community. If there is a cheaper way of doing that for some of that maintenance
then you could focus your groundskeeper on the things that really have the high
profile the high necessity in need of maintenance for the city's needs. The ones
that are less so can be done another way.
Strong: We can certainly look at that. We do some contract maintenance now
since you mentioned it like the undeveloped property because we do hire local
farmers to disk that property and maintain it throughout the summer season for
weed control and (inaudible) efforts so you don't have a good stalk of really dry
stuff that burns. We do have to put a contract with (inaudible) and then the full
time person you have an investment in their training so that they can do the kind
of work that we need done in parks at a reasonable level of independence.
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop
July 18, 2003
Pg. 46 of 108
Seasonal workers require more supervision more direction as we add space
we're going to need more full time people that can go out, work independently on
park sites, and do the things that we need to do.
Nary: One thing I noticed though in the groundskeeper you don't have a vehicle.
You have adequate vehicles?
Strong: We have adequate vehicles for the groundskeeper.
Nary: Okay great.
Corrie: I think the one ton service truck is working too because that will cause
your cost to go down a lot of your employee administration and maintenance as
well. They will be able to be out on the job and not have to go back and forth.
Strong: It's saving a lot of money (inaudible).
Corrie: And you were getting a new truck so you're not a hand me down baby
anymore on that one.
Strong: Well the reason we have enough trucks for the full time groundskeeper
is because we do take hand me down trucks.
Corrie: Right okay.
Strong: But we don't go very far with them and we can keep them running for a
long time and do what we need to do.
Nary: So does the group want to eliminate the Number 2 the seasonal
groundskeeper?
Corrie: Yes. I think we (inaudible).
De Weerd: Yes.
Bird: Go ahead.
Corrie: Okay.
Cunningham: Did you guys want to increase any of the contract labor?
Nary: Well that's what we may want to look at. I don't know does anybody else
have feelings about the truck?
Bird: About the what?
Meridian City Council Special b"dget Workshop
July 18, 2003
Pg. 47 of 108
Nary: About the one-ton truck?
Bird: No.
De Weerd: I do. I think in the past I don't know do you need a brand new truck.
There are used one-ton trucks and I don't know anything about trucks. I would
be the first to admit I do not know about trucks. I also do know when people see
brand new things sitting around in a tough budget year it becomes the first thing
that comes out of their mouth on why are we not getting a raise and buying a
brand new truck. It's just one of those perception things. I understand your need
but you know is there a less expensive way of doing it or is there another way we
can just bite the bullet 0 nit and do it next year? I don't know t hose a re just
questions that perhaps you can help answer.
Strong: Well I guess in response to that I think we have been biting the bullet
kind of getting a long. When we looked at buying new versus used like I said for
our parks maintenance workers we could get by with hand me down trucks and
do the job with them. We're willing to do that. T his is kind of a special use
vehicle. It's going to be specifically equipped to respond to situations in the park
where it's fully equipped to do just about anything that we need to do on site.
Most of the trucks that are equipped this way that are available to use are used
up. We looked around at what would be a possibility unless we could buy a used
truck and frame only somewhere that had not been set up with a utility box and
the other things that we're looking at here. The challenge for us was if we're
looking at anything used, the availability of this particular type of used vehicle is
not common. It doesn't mean it's impossible it's just not common. The most
expedient way for us to go was to certainly buy off a fleet (inaudible) this type of
truck through the state contract. That's how we've looked at it and priced it is
what's available currently on state contract this type of vehicle. It would need the
utility box put on.
De Weerd: And how often would this truck be in use?
Strong: It would be used daily. It also has the capacity of pulling a trailer to the
larger pieces of equipment we have which I believe Elroy explained in some
detail yesterday.
De Weerd: But I thought that's why we purchased a flat bed that one time was to
haul around the larger pieces of equipment. I'm just depending on memory on
that one. That's - I think when we purchased the flat bed it was said at that time
we need it because the other pickups won't transport the larger pieces of
equipment.
Strong: It is used that way if Brad would be primarily using his truck as a
maintenance technician's out of site and needs the backhoe (inaudible) that he
takes both the trailer and the backhoe and then he has all the other equipment as
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop
July 18. 2003
Pg. 48 of 108
the loader, air compressor, full compliment tools and such all together. The flat
bed is used but doesn't have a toolbox on it it's just a flat bed truck that's what it's
missing.
Nary: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: The one thing to me I can see the use] guess I'm still not totally sold that
there's a need. I could probably be okay with the truck but I guess I'm thinking
the 500 pound gorilla we have to wrestle with here when we get done with some
of these is what do we do about employee compensation. That $42,000 goes a
long way towards employee compensation. What I'm hearing at least from you
Doug and what I've heard from Elroy is this will make our life a lot easier in our
maintenance and those things. Not that I don't want to do that but I guess I don't
know that I want to do that yet until we at least figure out what our employee
compensation is going to be and whether or not that is a need or just a positive
enhancement to what they're doing now. That's my only hang up is $42,000 is a
lot of money for a vehicle. I think we can use it and I'm not totally sure you need
it and I would really like to at least wait until you get the discussion about
compensation before we say let's just go ahead and (inaudible).
Strong: I guess going back to your original question certainly understanding the
decision that you're grappling with. Can we get by certainly we can get by we're
getting by now it's just a matter of how long. In this next year as we've had more
park space than we need for this type of vehicle becomes even more of an issue.
We would certainly come back next year if not funded this year with the same
kind of request. We may have other equipment that we need by next year that
we had to request. That's the challenge as you start to kind of backlog
equipment needs. It's delayed this year but then next year with more park space
we have to make a decision when do we add another mower or when do we add
equipment to maintain pathways because we don't have any special use
equipment for pathways. Those are things to look at down the road.
De Weerd: I think Doug that's kind of what we're seeing with every department is
we're not asking for it this year but next year we're going to need it. I think we've
even heard that last year. It's - we understand that and we don't want to
compound any problems that's why we have to ask you can you really - can you
do without it until next year because we are grappling with the merit increases,
and the benefits. It's one of those things of give us what you absolutely need
because we want to make sure that we actually also take care of the employees
that are going to sit in that truck.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Meridian City Council Specialb<Jdget Workshop
July 18, 2003
Pg. 49 of 108
Bird: You know it's something that I've been pounding on for years is instead of
mileage we need hour meters. I think we've got equipment the big thing and if
you go back and look at the records of the last five years in the Parks
Department I have been against buying the backhoes and all that kind of stuff
because I think we can rent it and do that a lot cheaper. I realize it's nice to have
them sitting in your yard but [ think they set for 75 percent of the time and used
for 25 percent of the time. Getting hour meters on them is what we need to do.
Anytime we can rent a piece of equipment we are much better off then going and
purchasing it because we not only have the paying for it we have the insurance
on it and all that kind of stuff. A truck like this no you can't go rent something like
this. How much we need it they seem like they think they need it pretty hard.
They are getting more stuff to take care of and doing more stuff. I think in all
purchasing I think that we with computers if a person wants to change a color of
their computer. They don't worry about it being broken down or if they want a flat
screen, they go get a flat screen. I think this is stuff that - I realize that is the big
item but you start adding up $1,500 worth of computers that isn't necessary to do
all the time it adds up. I think we just need to look at how we are purchasing and
stuff on all our departments. What do we really need to purchase and what can
we rent as we need it?
De Weerd: So do you think we need to keep it?
Bird: Do I think we need this pickup? Yes and no. I think you're going to need it
either by this year - I think $42,000 is very, very high.
Corrie: Mr. Bird would you think about possibly taking this out and then taking a
look at where the cost of the added incentive of the employees and then if we got
enough money we can come back to that one.
Bird: That's mine - my concern right now is to get down where we can
compensate the employees. I'm kind of like Mr. Nary that's my priority right now
as what kind of a deal - I probably won't agree with what some of you guys think
we need to compensate them because I don't see the five and (inaudible)
compensations out on the private world. I don't see the three percent
compensations out there and I know you guys don't either. We've got - I think
that's our priority and I think it's all being held up by one thing myself.
Nary: Mr. Mayor too.
Corrie: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I was just going to add one thing. Council Member de Weerd I think raised
the point is I can't imagine anything more frustrating for an employee to not get a
raise or get a very minimal raise if any and we buy a $40,000 truck that's sitting
out there in the yard.
Meridian City Council Special budget Workshop
July 18, 2003
Pg. 50 of 108
Bird: That's true.
Nary: I think at least at this juncture we should at least take it out for the time
being. We'll come back to some of these things but I think we really as we go
through these really need to look very tightly at need. I think the police did that
and I think we've done that with fire. I don't see this as a need immediately until
we at least can address that other issue.
Bird: I think fire has got to address their overtime. Their overtime is out of hand.
It's way out of hand and how they do it we don't know.
Nary: What about the Bear Creek tennis courts? Do we want to leave that in the
impact fee I think Council Member de Weerd's thought was take that out at the
moment. I have no objection of taking that out. I think the other things are things
we really need to step up with. That one is probably the one -
Bird: We've got to watch our impact fees because (inaudible). Yes, I think we
need to take it out.
Corrie: Take them both out right now and come back when we can.
Cunningham: Okay so are we going to take the one-ton out?
Corrie: Yes that too.
Nary: And take out the Bear Creek tennis courts out -
Strong: I'm sorry Doug we'll come back and revisit it but we need to look at the
employees first.
Corrie: I'm anxious to see what that committees coming back.
Cunningham: We're taking out the $20,000 on Bear Creek?
Bird : Yes.
Corrie: Okay. I'm sorry I can't -
Cunningham: And were there any issues with the base?
Corrie: With the what?
Cunningham: With the budget base for parks.

De Weerd: Okay. Item 4. Department reports. Public Works. Brad.
Watson: Thank you, Madam President, Council Members. I trust you have a copy of
the memo that I wrote to you last week. There is really no new information. As I stated
in that memo, it was my understanding from the April 22nd Pre-Council Meeting that you
Meridian City Council Meeting
August5,2003
Page 5 of 56
had asked Mr. Anderson of Sundance company to come back with more information or
a different proposal. There is also a copy of a letter that Mr. Anderson wrote to Mayor
Corrie hopefully in that packet and, then, for your convenience I just inserted an excerpt
from that April 22nd Pre-Council Meeting into the packet. Ryan Anderson is here tonight
if you have any questions for him or if you would like to hear from him, but I have really
nothing new since April 22nd.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you, Brad. Any question for Brad? Ryan, would you like to
come forward? Do you have questions for Mr. Anderson?
Bird: I don't. What are we going to have to do to solve it? Brad didn't we -- isn't there
an agreement or something between you guys, Roger, and Ryan? Wasn't there an
agreement worked out or something? This is just going on too long.
Watson: Council Member Bird, I think that's the reason it's before you is there isn't an
agreement. There was the two options that I outlined in April of either putting together a
Latecomer's Agreement to pay back onto that -- for that well site, if you directed me to
do that. The second option was a cash payment to Sundance Company for that well lot.
At the time I think the discussion revolved around what was perceived as fair market
value or the value -- I don't know what the term was at the time. We have drafted a
latecomer agreement. We haven't sent it on to Sundance Company, because this came
up at about the same time. We can certainly proceed with that and send it to them for
their approval or if you wish on their -- their request, I think that's what their preference
would be.
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: My preference would be if it were a fair market value, to pay the thing off and be
out of it. Brad did you -- did you think it was fair market value or were you able to check
or anything like that? I know Ryan come up and explained to us what was fair market
value and there were some questions about it, so --
Watson: Right. Councilman Bird, alii can offer is that last fall, I think it was, I solicited a
proposal from an appraiser to look into that. I guess we didn't follow through on that at
the time, because I guess in my mind at that time we were still going to follow through
on a latecomer agreement and it did slip between the cracks for a month or two.
De Weerd: I believe, Mr. Bird, that it was -- we were thinking it would be a pre-
development cost, instead of -- instead of after.
Bird: Yes.
De Weerd: And I guess that's the crux of the issue in my belief, is that we've paid pre-
development costs, we don't understand why a well site would be charged after the
Meridian City Council Meeting
Augusl5,2003
Page 6 of 56
roads and infrastructure costs to the value of that piece of property when the well adds
to the value. I think that was the issue that was raised.
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: The only problem with latecomers it costs you money, too, in administrative fees.
There is a lot of time spent by bookkeeping on latecomers and stuff like that, so I wish
we could work something out here and get it paid off and forgot about, but --
De Weerd: I guess that's why --
Bird: We need to do something. We need to do something.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Yes. I have looked here at this letter provided by the Sundance Company and,
you know, I mean they still haven't answered the main crux of the issue that we had in
April. In looking at the minutes from the April meeting -- and we don't have that
agreement back in front of us, but my recollection was that what was stated here in the
minutes is it was the pre-development cost, was a decision by the city to not seek the
Latecomer's Agreement. Rather, to purchase the piece, although that wasn't our
normal practice, but to purchase the piece, but at the pre-development cost. I asked
Mr. Anderson back in April what was that number, because we didn't necessarily agree
that five dollars a square foot was right amount, that was the developed cost of the
piece. At that time, in looking at the minutes, Mr. Anderson had made -- had some
discussion about where it was located and whether it was more valuable than other
pieces and back, then, I said I don't care about that, that wasn't the issue, the issue was
pre-development cost. This 98,000-dollar figure doesn't tell me anything. It just says
we changed our mind, now it's 98,000. Well, again, if they don't want to tell us -- and
that's what that agreement said in my recollection that we argued about in April, was
that's what it had to be, we are not going to pay it. Unless they get more -- you know,
more detailed and more specific as to what we are paying for, we are not going to pay
anything for it. Do you have more information than this letter? This isn't anything
different than you told us before. It's just a different number.
Anderson: Council Members, my name is Ryan Anderson, 1453 Shellbrook in Meridian,
Idaho. I am before you again -- last time in April I was asked to go through and do a
discounted price on a cash basis and that's what I presented in the letter. I really
haven't had any -- I mean any further contact, nobody's responded to that letter. I
haven't heard anything different on that until as of last Friday I was told that I was back
on the agenda. As far as the cost of the property we discussed, I have had pre-
development sales up there, both to Ada County Highway District and to Sutherland
Meridian City Council Meeting
August 5, 2003
Page 7 of 56
Farms for a development piece that they were doing and that ranged from three and a
half dollars to about 11 dollars a square foot. That is why about a year and a half,
almost two years ago, we went ahead and spent time with your guys' staff and came up
with that five dollar number as a reasonable and fair number to start with, so that's
where that number came from. For this letter I went ahead and pulled about 10,000
dollars off that as an incentive to do a cash price, instead of going through and doing a
latecomers fee, which is how I came about that number.
De Weerd: So, Mr. Anderson, with that discount, what would the price be per square
foot?
Anderson: I, actually, didn't go through and calculate it that way. It's probably four and
a quarter, four and a half dollars a square foot, probably. Just to reiterate, I did do
appraisals, the whole works, with Ada County Highway District and those numbers
ranged from seven and a half dollars to well over 10 dollars a square foot for the
property that's very close to where you guys are at.
De Weerd: For pre-development?
Anderson: And this is all pre-developed price. They won't pay for anything additional to
that. I have actually -- I have got Idaho Power paid an easement that was almost this
value for the same -- I mean for frontage on Overland and you guys are within a couple
hundred feet of that.
De Weerd: I think the argument, though, at that time and it remains that, is you wouldn't
have value without the well site there, because you would not have the water.
Anderson: But I don't think I should be penalized and have to subsidize the rest of the
development that uses that water by paying for the entire property myself. That's why
we are trying to come up with an agreeable price on it.
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Ryan, can you give us a bottom line -- I mean you have went from five to four and
a quarter now. Give us a bottom line of what cash is and, you know, we will give you
the cash, which you get your money up front to work with --
Anderson: Sure.
Bird: -- and if we go latecomers, then, you get it as it comes through.
Anderson: Right.
Meridian City Council Meeting
August 5, 2003
Page 8 of 56
Bird: And, you know, that could drag out ten years, as we all know. Get back to Brad or
-- to Brad with a final figure and let's see what we can work out, if we can't work
something out and get it taken care of. You know, help us out all you can.
Anderson: Can I get some sort of indication on what sort of time frames we are looking
at?
Bird: For getting back to us?
Anderson: No. In--
Bird: If we pay you?
Anderson: Providing I respond rather quickly.
Bird: Oh, I think if we agreed we could get you paid immediately. jf it was agreeable,
yes, we could get you paid immediately.
De Weerd: Do we want this back on the agenda in a week or two weeks?
Bird: I wouldn't mind it, Madam President. I think we should. Let's get it taken care of
one way or the other.
De Weerd: So, what is your recommendation?
Bird: Well, I think we ought to have it back for the -- can you give us a final figure next --
by the end of this week?
Anderson: I certainly can.
Bird: Okay. Get it to Brad. Let's do it the 12th,
De Weerd: Okay. We will put this back on the agenda, then, Mr. Clerk, on August 1ih
and you will get that back to Brad, so we can get the information in our packets.
Anderson: I most certainly will.
De Weerd: Okay.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I guess I'm not totally clear what Council Member Bird is asking for that's going to
be different than what we already have.
Meridian City Council Meeting
August 5, 2003
Page 9 of 56
Bird: What the bottom line of what they will take cash for.
Nary: I thought that 98,000 was it?
Bird: No. He said he already lowered it to -- that was five dollars or something. He had
already lowered it to four and a quarter.
Nary: Right. I thought -- I guess I -- is it going to be different than 98,OOO?
Anderson: I'll take a look at it again and that's what I'm being asked to do.
Nary: I'm sorry?
Anderson: That's what I'm being asked to do, so I will.
De Weerd: So, Mr. Anderson, will take a look at it and get his proposal to our staff.
Nary: And could we have, then, next week, because I don't have it in this stuff, what the
agreement was to begin with, because we had it in the last time. If we can have what
the agreement -- we were looking at an agreement the last time. That was what we
were basing on what we thought we should have to pay is a relation to what the
agreement was and it's referenced in the minutes and I recall that we were looking at a
document of some sort.
Watson: Council Member Nary, I will completely duplicate the packet from April 22nd,
whatever was in there --
Nary: Okay. That would be great.
Watson: -- make sure that it will be there for next week and if I could just ask one
clarification. Is there any other information I should be expecting or looking for from
Ryan for next week's packet?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Is there additional information that you desire from staff?
Bird: No. I just want a bottom line of what they have to have for that property and what
we are willing to pay.
De Weerd: Okay. Okay. Thank you.
Anderson: Thank you.
Item 5.
Request for Reconsideration and Re-opening Public Hearings for
Callister Development AZ 03-002 and CPA 03-001:
Meridian City Council Meeting
August 5, 2003
Page 10 of 56
De Weerd: Okay. Item Number 5, request for a reconsideration of reopening public
hearings for Callister Development, AZ 03-002 and CPA 03-001. Anna, would you like
to open the discussion?
Powell: Madam President, Members of the Council, I guess I, actually, anticipated that
the applicant would bring his request before you, rather than myself.
De Weerd: Okay. I know the applicant's here. Please state your name and address.
McKinnon: Dave McKinnon, 12552 West Executive Drive, representing Pinnacle
Engineering. Madam President, Members of the Council, I guess I don't take no for an
answer very easily. I know that you have already denied this project one time. I'm
asking for reconsideration of this project and after talking with the applicant for the
project, he's requested that we remove from the table the request for contractor's
storage yard. Three weeks ago when we met there was a lot of discussion about the
contractor's storage yard and the inability for us to be able to screen that to your
satisfaction, so our client has asked that we take that off the table. He's requested that
this project be put back on in front of you with just the mini storage uses and, then, the
remaining parcel that was to remain vacant, to allow that to remain vacant as well. The
issues regarding screening, such as the type of fencing adjacent to Bear Creek would
still remain the same and the non-tiling of the Hardin Drain would remain the same. We
are just asking that you re-hear that without the input of the contractor's storage yard, as
you haven't yet adopted the Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law to make the
decision final yet and ask that you would reconsider that. We are willing to pay the
additional fees for the re-noticing and we felt that with the mini storage this would be a
use that would -- that would be justifiable on that piece of property, as there is no sewer
service available to that site. The office use would remain as well, but without the
contractor's storage yard. There is -- you know there is not a precedent for what J'm
requesting, but, however, there is a mini storage facility that has already been approved
by this body immediately adjacent to Bear Creek. The -- whether or not it's justifiable in
that location is something that is not necessarily debatable, but, rather, something that
has happened once before and it's justifiable in one location. It seems like it may be
justifiable in another and we would ask that you reconsider the Comprehensive Plan
amendment for this and the annexation and Rezone request. Ask if you have any
questions.
De Weerd: Council, do you have any questions?
Bird: I have none.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Meridian City Council Meeling
August 5, 2003
Page 11 of 56
Nary: Mr. McKinnon, so with the -- we would still need the Comprehensive Plan
Amendment, because the storage units wouldn't be compatible with the zone that's
already designated?
McKinnon: Well, Madam President, Commissioner Nary, the Meridian Comprehensive
Plan as adopted does not have what would be considered as a consistency matrix
where it says that land use designation of mixed use neighborhood doesn't say
anywhere in the Comprehensive Plan as to what type of zoning that means. It doesn't
say this should be C-G, it could be C-N, or it could be R-40. There is no direction in the
Comprehensive Plan saying these are the types of zoning that are applicable to the land
use designation on the Comprehensive Plan. Our understanding from staff's direction is
that the C-G zoning is not the zoning that they expected in the community mixed use
neighborhood, but, rather, they expected to see either a mixture of zones or a zone with
a less intense land use classification, such as C-N, commercial neighborhood, rather
than commercial general. Under staff's interpretation, that the mini storage is not
something that would typically be allowed through the Comp Plan in a neighborhood
mixed use zone. If you feel that it would be -- that the C-G zone -- the requested C-G
zone should be allowed through the Comprehensive Plan, the existing Comprehensive
Plan, that would be something that we could withdraw as well.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Is that right, Mrs. Powell? There is no designated particular zone or we couldn't
do this -- this type of mixed-use neighborhood zoning in some sort of development
agreement to limit the uses on this site? I guess I just hate amending the Comp Plan. I
really don't feel compelled to want to do that, but I don't have a big concern about a mini
storage. In fact, I think there was a lot of discussion in the Comp Plan about having a
mini storage zone, because we seem to have a lot of these. Isn't there a way to do this
without amending the Comp Plan?
Powell: Can I ask the counsel a question before we continue much longer the attorney,
actually? Is this hearing that we are doing -- it seems like we are crossing that line into
having a hearing at this point. Should we be having this discussion or is it, really, just a
discussion as to whether to put this on before a hearing? Since I got caught once
today.
Nary: I can maybe at least clarify what I'm asking before we even get to that question.
The reason I'm asking the question -- and Mr. Nichols can comment -- is because
before we reconsider. Then, set this over for that discussion, I'm trying to figure out
what do we need to actually set over. Do we need to set over the Comp Plan
discussion or does that even make any difference, or are we just going to deal with this
issue of the zone or not and whether it's compatible with the zone?
Meridian City Council Meeling
August 5, 2003
Page 12 of 56
Powell: It is true that we do not have a land use consistency matrix similar to Boise
City, which says that there is -- this zoning is applicable in these Comprehensive Plan
designations. Yes, it is true that -- so in that sense, it's true that there is nothing that
says because it's neighborhood commercial, that it has to be -- or because it's mixed
use neighborhood center, that it has to be a neighborhood commercial designation.
Likewise, it doesnt say that if it says residential, it has to be a residential designation. If
you're picking the use to go there, then, it would seem that the zone should be
appropriate for the Comp Plan designation.
Nary: So, I guess, ultimately, we could -- if we wanted to reconsider, we should
probably set all three of them over and, then, that would also give you time to review it
again to see if maybe the Comp Plan amendment isn't necessary. I don't know.
Powell: That could be.
Nary: It sounds like it may be a decision you could possibly make on whether or not it's
even applicable to this application.
Powell: It could be. Yes.
Nary: Because that was done prior to you becoming the director, wasn't that correct?
Powell: Correct.
Nary: Okay.
Powell: And there is a different mix of uses now. I think that the question is not so
much the mini storage use, as the zoning on the -- the large amount of property that
would not have a use proposed on it at this time and pre-zoning that for a number of
uses that would be allowed in a C-G zone.
Nary: And that I've tread over it too much, Mr. Nichols, are we --
Nichols: Anna, I don't know that I got asked a question yet.
Powell: I think it's moot now, but I suppose the question was -- it sounded like we were
getting into a hearing and I wasn't prepared for a hearing today, so I was a little
uncomfortable.
Nichols: I don't think this is the same issue that we were looking at before.
Powell: Okay.
McKinnon: Councilman Nary, if I could address a question that you had for Anna as
well. In the request letter that I sent to you, I recommended that you could, through a
Development Agreement, restrict all of the uses in the C-G zone, even though it's -- the
Meridian City Council Meeting
August 5, 2003
Page 13 of 56
C-G zone, through the Development Agreement, limit all of those uses to a Conditional
Use Permit in the future and so it could be handled in that manner.
Powell: Madam President, Members of the Council, I don't know -- on these
reconsiderations, do you address the issue of the additional fees now or do you address
them if you decide to rehear it or -- to me it seems like basically a new application
coming through, so just paying for additional noticing doesn't necessarily seem
appropriate. I'd like to discourage these, in all honesty but that's your decision.
De Weerd: Council.
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I believe -- I think in our ordinance or something somewhere, if it's a new -- and
this is basically being a new application, they pay the regular fees. I don't think there is
any -- I don't think there is any give or take. I think it's just like a new application now,
because they are changing, they are withdrawing stuff and they are changing, so I just
-- I got a question, Madam President, for the attorney. What -- now how do we do this
to -- if we decide to reconsider and reopen it and -- what do we do with the other three
that we had already denied? Just set them aside?
Nichols: Madam President, Members of the Council, if you choose to reconsider this
issue, then, those draft findings that are before you would become void, I mean they
would -- because they would apply to the original plan and application and not the one
that's proposed in the context of the reconsideration. They would go away and, then,
you would hear the revised plan, you would reconsider that, and, then, make your new
findings based upon your decision then.
De Weerd: I think that the change is significant. It would have to go back through
Planning and Zoning and so it's basically a new application. What you're proposing is
not what we denied. It's half of it, but it's still significant in change that it should be a
new application. You know, I guess in some instances that when we look at
reconsideration, things are pretty minor and they are answering some issues that were
very prominent and -- as reasons for denying. You're changing the face of this
application significantly by taking half of it out. In my opinion -- and I am only one vote -
- is this should go through the process again. It basically needs to anyway.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I think if I'm guessing correctly, Dave, the reason that you're asking for
reconsideration is predominately because of the Comp Plan Amendment and not having
to wait for another lengthy period of time, if that was necessary, which is part of the
Meridian City Council Meeling
August 5, 2003
Page 14 of 56
reason why I asked the other question of whether or not we actually even need that. I
guess I'd agree with Council President de Weerd, that I guess for me to reconsider
something is probably only in a couple circumstances. One, that we didn't have the
correct information or enough information and for some reason we couldn't have had it
at the time, some circumstance has changed that we couldn't have known at the time,
or that the change is so minor and so minuscule that changing it is not going to really
significantly impact the development. In those situations, I'd really be pretty sticky about
it anyway. Although you're proposing something that sounds better, I think it does have
to go through the process again. I do think a second look at it by the Planning and
Zoning Department really may solve the problem you're probably the most -- you and
your clients are most concerned with, which is the Comp Plan issue. I think it's probably
something that can be resolved at the Planning and Zoning staff level or certainly at the
Commission level. I just don't see from a reconsideration standpoint that if we are going
to have some standard -- and I guess like I said, to me, the standard should be that
there is new information that we were not able to have or we had incorrect information
at the time. I don't really see that here. You have just basically tried to make the project
more appealing, which is admirable, but I think it still has to go through the process and
go get done. Like I said, I think it can probably get to where you want it to go, but I just
don't see a reason to reconsider it for me.
McKinnon: Madam President, Members of the Council, as you remember, this is a
project that started, geez, nine months ago almost now and it was continually held up
and continually held up based on the North Meridian Area Plan. This is a project that
we have been waiting on an answer for, you know, several months. Then, to have the
answer no and to be told to start all over again through a three to four month process is
something that we were hoping to avoid, because that will take us for over a year to get
through this project as far as the changes. The -- you nailed it right on the head,
Councilman Nary, by saying this -- we are trying to make this more appealing to the
Council. We believe that the changes that are being made are not major, because we
are taking out the one thing that you vehemently were opposed to and said that's gone.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the project with the
one item that you found the most offensive, so to say that it needs to go back to the
Planning and Zoning Commission to look at something without the offending item
seems to be a lot of extra labor that doesn't necessarily need to happen.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: But if you recall, too, Dave, there was some testimony as well about the ditch,
about tiling it.
McKinnon: That's correct.

Nary: So, I mean there was a lot of discussion about that as well and we didn't have to
get there, because of the issue of the contractor's yard. Again, I don't -- I think in our
discussion tonight I don't see -- I don't see a reason to reconsider.
McKinnon: Okay.
Nary: I recognize it was delayed for other reasons, but, honestly -- and I know you
weren't part of this project at the outset, but we didn't make them come forward with a
contractor's yard across the street from a large subdivision. We didn't ask them to bind
these together that way. They could have done it differently. That's the way they chose
to do it. They have to live with the outcome of their choice. I don't -- and I think the
delay, again, that wasn't caused by us. Again, that delay isn't something that we are
necessarily at fault for, but to ask us to reconsider, as I said, at least for me, says that
we have either made an error or that we have had information that was incomplete or
incorrect and we don't have any of that.
De Weerd: Okay. Any further questions for the applicant? Okay. Thank you.
McKinnon: Thank you.
De Weerd: So, Mr. Attorney, I imagine that no motion to -- for reconsideration of this is
an indication of the direction the Council desires or should we ask for a motion either
way?
Nichols: Madam President, it's preferable to have a motion either one way or the other,
although in the past if there has been no motion or a motion was made and there is no
second to reconsider, that's also an answer. We have treated -- I guess you have one
way to yes and two ways to no on this particular type of decision.
De Weerd: Okay. Well, Council, I would --
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Yes.
Nary: I was going to say, maybe the third way, really, is we did pull off the 0, E, and F.
If we approve D, E, and F, that's, really, all we have to do.
De Weerd: Okay.
Nary: They have asked for a re-consideration. I guess, Mr. Nichols, if no one wants to
make that motion, I guess we move on.

Public Hearing: CUP 03-023 Request for a Conditional Use Permit for
an ancillary drive-thru for a full-service bank facility and for a temporary

2560 East Fairview Avenue:
De Weerd: Item Number 11 is a Public Hearing for CUP 03-023, request for a
Conditional Use Permit for an ancillary drive-thru for a full service bank facility and for a
Meridian City Council Meeting
August 5,2003
Page 21 of 56
temporary bank facility in a C-G zone for D.L. Evans Bank and I will open the Public
Hearing with staff comments.
Powell: Madam President, Members of the Council, this is a request for a drive-thru
bank. The property that you see outlined there is larger than what is proposed. It is in
this corner over here. It is proposed on a lot within the Mallane Subdivision that is not
yet recorded. We do have a letter from the applicant -- we wouldn't accept a
Conditional Use Permit until they provided a letter stating that recognize that it was not
a lot in the subdivision and that they would have to wait until the subdivision was
recorded before they could pull a Building Permit. That will be an issue tonight. They
are now asking that that condition be removed, Regardless, this is the location of the
property. It is in this corner here. Louie's is in the center parcel there. Fairview Avenue
and, then -- I forgot the other street name. Hickory. Thank you. The aerials were
before the development of Louie's. This is -- the bank facility is here. It has access
from Fairview and, then, it comes around through to Hickory. They are requesting the
use of a temporary bank at first in this location with a separate drive aisle and drive-thru
and, then, that will be removed as the larger bank is completed. There is a temporary
bank, It's in a move-on unit that they can, then, move off later. You can see the cross-
access agreements here. They also will be providing one here for the subdivision and
that's their exit onto Hickory. During the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing the
majority of the discussion was just on, the general site layout. There was discussion
about increasing the stall lengths -- or, actually, shortening the stall lengths and
increasing the width of the sidewalks here, so that -- instead of 19 and five, it was six
and 17, I believe, or 19 and 4. They just moved the extra two feet to the sidewalk. The
other -- the only other discussion was largely on just amending the conditions of
approval to reflect additional items that had been brought in since the staff report had
been completed. There are really no outstanding issues, unless you, again, want to
address the parking stalls. There is the question of the -- question of when to release
the Building Permit that the applicant will bring up to you and I think with that we will end
staff's comments.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you, Anna. Any questions for Anna?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Okay. Is the applicant here? Do you promise and affirm that the testimony
you give tonight is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you?
Strite: I do.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Strite: Madam President --
De Weerd: Please state your name and address.
Meridian City Council Meeting
August5,2003
Page 22 of 56
Strite: I'm about to do that, Madam President.
De Weerd: Okay.
Strite: Billy Ray Strite, 1010 Allante, Boise, Idaho. Madam President, Council, we have
reviewed the staff report and, as you well have, and it's very positive, we are happy with
the results. I think it was endorsed strongly by the Planning and Zoning Commission
and we certainly are aware of the conditions imposed and with one exception have
absolutely no problem with those conditions. I would, however, ask for your
consideration relative to Item Number 1, if you will, Page 2 on your packet, relative to
the Final Plat. We did write a letter, as Anna has mentioned. At that particular time, we
were told by the seller, who is Chris Mallane, that the plat was, in fact, being recorded.
As it turns out -- and I spoke to staff today and Brad informs me that that has not been
completed, that it's presently in his hands, with some conditions requested of Mr.
Mallane, those being a surety and there was a couple of items, one of which Anna has
already mentioned, and that was the cross-access to Hickory Drive. Having said that,
D.L. Evans, obviously, would like to become part your community and asks that I ask
that Item Number 1 perhaps be rewritten, if you will, to suggest that the recordation be
based upon the occupancy permit for the temporary facility only and in doing so that
would allow us to move forward. As of today, the applicant, D.L. Evans Bank and the
seller, Chris Mallane, have come to an agreement, should it be the desire of the Council
to agree to this, to lease this property, so that the project can move forward, we would,
then, submit a CZC, assuming we would have that completed and ready to submit
possibly this week. Then, my suggestion is that by the time staff has completed the
plat, it's moved on to Ada County, we will have had a Building Permit, construction
started, and the temporary facility in place -- and, again, ask that the Occupancy Permit
be the trigger point from which the Final Plat be recorded. That's it in a nutshell. I will
answer any questions as you wish.
De Weerd: Council, any questions?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you.
Strite: Thank you.
De Weerd: I guess I would have one of staff. I know we have put some of these
conditions on before, that it's based on occupancy and I know that it's been an issue of
how to enforce that once the building is -- do we have enforcement issues on that?
Powell: Madam President, you always have the ability to withhold their certificate of
occupancy. You have a little different situation here in that the property of record
includes the parcel that Louie's is currently constructed on, so there is not a Building
Permit available to this property. The applicant's representative believes that -- well, he
doesn't believe this part. There was a Planned Development -- there was a Planned
Meridian City Council Meeting
August 5, 2003
Page 23 of 56
Development approved on the property to allow two buildings. Those two buildings
were a restaurant -- or two restaurants. Louie's was one of them and, then, one to the
west of Louie's. There has been a PO approved for two buildings on this property, but
staff would argue that the second building being proposed is not what was approved the
first time. You have two issues. The one issue is having more than one structure on
the property and, then, the second one of enforcing it and, yes, we can -- we can tie
these things to the certificate of occupancy once you have released -- I mean if all goes
well, it is isn't a problem, it's when things don't go well that it becomes the problem. If,
for some reason the subdivision failed to get to recorded and they finish their building,
the city is in an awkward position of saying, okay, you have spent all your money on
your building, but, sorry, we can't let you in.
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Yes, but if that is attached to the issuance of the Building Permit and stuff and
with the Final Plat, there is no problem. Everybody knows up front, D.L. Evans Bank
knows up front if they don't have everything in line they are not going to get in.
Powell: That is true. It's just that the subdivision is under the control of a different
person.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: But if I understood Mr. Strite, they are willing to live with that risk.
Strite: Madam President?
Nary: Is that correct?
Strite: Commissioner Nary, that's absolutely correct.
Nary: Okay. I guess it won't be that awkward for us, we just say you knew it, so, tough
luck. I mean -- so I guess I don't -- I guess your -- my assumption is that you're
assuming none of that is going to be a problem? It's going to get recorded and it will all
get done.
Strite: Madam President, Councilman Nary, well, obviously, I think it behooves the
seller and the buyer to complete their transaction. Obviously, you cannot have one
without the other. In my opinion, it appears that this might give the seller maybe a little
more incentive, since we are constructing this on his site as a lease property.
De Weerd: Okay. Any other questions?
Meridian City Council Meeting
August 5, 2003
Page 24 of 56
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you.
Strite: Thank you.
De Weerd: Okay. Is there anyone else who would like to testify on this item? Okay.
Council?
Nary: Madam President, could I ask one more question?
De Weerd: Yes. Mr. Nary.
Nary: So, if I understood -- just so I'm right, if we are going to approve this project, all
Mr. Strite was asking is to amend condition one and, basically, make the wording be the
Final Plat for the subdivision must be recorded prior to the issuance of the certificate of
occupancy, rather than the Certificate of Zoning Compliance. Is that the only change?
Okay. Thank you.
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Anna, you don't have any problem with that, do you?
Powell: Well, you're asking the Building Department to release a second Building
Permit on a parcel that's not eligible for it.
De Weerd: That's why we have these discussions while the Public Hearing is still open.
Nary: That's why our meetings take four hours.
Strite: Madam President and Council, Billy Ray Strite once again. As Anna had
suggested, I do not agree with that analysis. If you go back to the 1996 approval, it
does suggest under page seven of that approval that two buildings are approved on this
single site. It does, in fact, suggest that those two buildings are restaurants, but I'm not
sure that the Council doesn't have the ability to take the position that it is two buildings,
whether one is a restaurant or one is not a restaurant. Again, on Page 7 it says the
piece of property consists of seven acres that proposes to build two restaurants on the
southwest corner of the parcel. I'm suggesting that there was an allowance to build two
buildings, what we are requesting, as well as having the condition changed, that that
one building is no longer a restaurant, it is, in fact, a temporary bank tied to the
conditions of the occupancy permit as requested.
De Weerd: Okay. Well, you have clarified that.
Meridian City Council Meeting
August 5, 2003
Page 25 of 56
Strite: Well, I don't know if I did a very good job. Perhaps, Mr. Nichols can chime in, but
in seeing the approval, that's the way it reads to me, and I think even at the end in the
normal discussion of approved uses it makes use, as the recommendation was a
planned commercial development without any necessary definition of the buildings in
the final approval, which was unanimously approved. That occurs on page 13 of that
1996 approval.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: It probably wouldn't be harmful, then, to anybody, Mr. Strite, if we just made it
clear in the findings that no other buildings will be allowed on this site; right? I don't
want someone coming back -- not you, because you would never do that, but someone
else coming back saying, oh, we want that restaurant now. There are two restaurants,
you guys approved that bank, and that was something else. If we made it clear in the
findings that no other -- no other Building Permits would be allowed on this site until it's
recorded, that shouldn't be a problem.
Strite: Madam President, Councilman Nary, obviously, I would never come back
suggesting such a thing, but I think it would be appropriate to make that part of the
findings and, certainly, D.L. Evans is expecting that.
Nary: I just didn't want to see Carl's Jr. or something come back.
De Weerd: Mr. Nary. Thank you.
Strite: That's enough. I'm done. Thank you.
De Weerd: Mr. Nichols is there anything you would like to add?
Nichols: Madam President, Members of the Council, just to say I wasn't here in 1996
and ask that any motion would be very specific, so that we have -- on any limitations
that are imposed that we include those. Then -- I guess maybe a question for Mr. Strite,
again, making him pop up again. Mr. Strite, does your client need any help getting the
seller to resolve the issue and get the Final Plat done?
Strite: Madam President, Mr. Nichols, it's my understanding, again, having spoke to
Brad today and, again, this evening, that everything is in motion. He's made his
comments, they have been sent back, he's awaiting a surety and I believe a couple of
conditions to be completed. ACHD has already signed the plat, as I understand it, so
also has Central District Health. The biggest part -- well, I shouldn't say the biggest
part, because when it reaches Ada County, that's the biggest part. The smaller parts
have been completed and I think it's going to move forward. As I mentioned earlier, I
think it behooves both parties to complete this, especially if there is construction on the
Meridian City Council Meeting
August 5. 2003
Page 26 of 56
site. There is going to be some type of indemnification, I'm assuming, and certainly, you
would know that better than I, between the two parties. It's going to behoove them both
to move forward as rapidly as possible.
Nichols: Madam President, I'd just ask that the findings be very specific with regard to
any limitations that are to be imposed upon the Mallane Subdivision.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Powell: Madam President?
De Weerd: Anna.
Powell; If the motion could also include direction to staff as to -- the applicant is
currently requesting that if this is approved that he be able to file -- or request a Building
Permit immediately, like tomorrow. Generally, we at least wait until the findings have
been adopted in two weeks, so that was part of his request. I just want to know what
we should do regarding that.
Strite: Madam President, let me clarify that. I think what I was proposing is we would
be prepared to submit for our CZC tomorrow, not a permit -- we have to go through that
process first, obviously. I'm sorry. That's what I meant, the CZC first, that's going to
take at least ten days and, then, we would be submitting for a Building Permit, at which
time I would suspect Findings of Fact would, then, be available.
Powell: Again, it's just generally, we wait until the findings have been adopted. If you
can give us direction.
Nichols: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Madam President, I think maybe we could make an effort to have the findings
on next week.

you ready to close the Public Hearing?
Bird: Madam President?

De Weerd: Okay. It's been moved and seconded to close the Public Hearing. All those
in favor say aye. Okay. All ayes.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
De Weerd: Any discussion? Okay. We'd entertain a motion, then.

facility in a C-G zone for D.L. Evans Bank by D.L. Evans Bank at 2560 East Fairview.
To include all staff comments and recommendations of the Planning and Zoning
Commission, with the amendment of condition A-1, that the Final Plat for Mallane
Subdivision must recorded prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy of the D.L.
Evans project. That no further Building Permits, other than for the -- I guess the bank
facility, be allowed on this property and I think if we can have the findings by next week,
Mrs. Powell, I don't know that the other one is an issue. Would that be okay? I think it's
just for the -- no issuing of further Building Permits.
McCandless: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. It's been moved and seconded to approve CUP 03-023, with
modifications. Mr. Clerk, roll call.

Powell: Madam President, Members of the Council, this is another bank request on a
lot that has not yet been approved as part of a subdivision. It is within the Bonita
Subdivision, I believe, is what it's called. That's correct. The location is approximately
in this area and I have a Preliminary Plat for the approved subdivision later, if you so
desire. Again, Silverstone is on the other side of Eagle Road. This -- our north arrow
switches -- no, it doesn't. North is still going this way. This is Tarpen Drive coming off.
The site will access from another property over here. There will be a cross-access
agreement. They will enter here, come through -- there are three drive-thru lanes here,
plus an escape lane that wraps around. There is parking here, as well as here and
here. There was no public testimony presented at the hearing and there was no major
changes made during the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing. They are
forwarding a recommendation for approval to you and there are no outstanding issues.
That concludes staff's presentation.
De Weerd: Thank you, Anna. Is the applicant here? Raise your right hand. Do you
promise and affirm that the testimony you give tonight is the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Larsen: I do.
De Weerd: Please state your name and address.
Larsen: My name is Cornell Larsen. Address is 210 Murray Street in Garden City.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Larsen: Thank you. Madam President, Members of the City Council, we are here
tonight to present the Idaho Banking project to you. It's in the EI Dorado Subdivision.
It's on Tarpen Street, the south side of Tarpen Street, which is the first major
intersection of that subdivision coming south on Overland Road, about right there. We
did not have any concerns about the staff report and felt like we can work through all the
conditions and we are happy with it, be happy to answer any questions you might have.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, any questions? Okay. Thank you.
Larsen: Thank you.
De Weerd: Is there anyone else who would like to testify on this application? Okay.
Council, any discussion before we close the Public Hearing? Okay. I would entertain a
motion.
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.

Public Hearing: CUP 03-031 Request for a Conditional Use Permit for
an educational facility in a 9,058 square foot tenant space in an existing
building in an L-O zone for the University of Phoenix by the University of
Phoenix - 2950 East Magicview Drive:
De Weerd: Okay. Item 13, Public Hearing for CUP 03-031, request for a Conditional
Use Permit for an educational facility in a 9,058 square foot tenant space in an existing
building in an L-O zone for University of Phoenix and I will open the Public Hearing with
staff comments.
Powell: Madam President, Members of the Council, this is located at the northwest
corner of Magicview and Allen Street as shown there. The property is currently
Meridian City Council Meeting
AugustS, 2003
Page 30 of 56
developed, the building is already in, and all the landscaping is in. The reason it's
before you tonight is because the use is not specifically listed in -- for the L-O zone and
because the subdivision was contested by the neighbors as it came through regarding
the uses allowed in the L-O zone, we wanted to be particularly careful and make sure
that we addressed those concerns so, they are before tonight. Noise was the largest
concerns from staff and they did discuss that briefly at the Planning and Zoning
Commission hearing. No neighbors showed up and I don't believe anyone even
showed up at the neighborhood meeting that they had, so it is before you tonight with a
recommendation for approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission at their
shortest hearing ever, concluded at 7:11.
De Weerd: Wow. That's amazing. Council, do you have any questions, other than
about the Planning and Zoning meeting?
Bird: That's what I was going to say --
Nary: How did they do that?
Powell: My staff presentation was three times as long as Brad's was that night. I'm
sorry .
De Weerd: Okay. Hearing no questions, is the applicant here? Do you promise and
affirm that the testimony you give tonight is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth, so help you God?
Seel: Yes, I do.
De Weerd: Okay. Please state your name and address.
Seel: Yes. Jonathan Seel, 600 North Steelhead, Boise, Idaho, here on behalf of
Winston H. Moore representing the tenant the University of Phoenix. As has been
mentioned, we did have a neighborhood meeting. No one did show up at that -- at that
neighborhood meeting, so I thought I would mention that. As far as a report, I will try to
make it quick tonight, too. We have read through the staff report, we are in agreement
with everything and be certainly pleased to answer any questions, otherwise, I will sit
down.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Just a question. Aren't they already located in this area this is just a relocation?
They are in the other building or something, aren't they?
Meridian City Council Meeting
AugustS, 2003
Page 31 of 56
Seel: Yes, Councilman, they are. They are in the building that fronts on Eagle Road.
This will be an additional facility. They run out of space in there, so they need to
expand, so this is -- it's an excellent use and they wanted to be in proximity to that one.
Nary: Great. Thanks.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Seel: Thank you very much.

Item 15.
Public Hearing: CUP 03-026 Request for Conditional Use Permit to
remove existing house and construct four apartments, 2 story with
bedrooms on upper level, and four single garages attached in a proposed
O-T zone for Schroeder Apartments by H. John Cook - 921 West 2nd
Street:
De Weerd: Okay. If Council doesn't object, I'd like to open up both 14 and 15, Public
Hearing for RZ 03-007, request for a Rezone of .165 acres from R-4 to O-T zones for
Schroeder Apartments by H. John Cook. Also, the Public Hearing for CUP 03-026,
request for a Conditional Use Permit to remove existing house and construct four
apartments, two story, with bedrooms on upper level, and four single garages attached,
to a proposed 0- T zone. I will open the Public Hearings for -- with staff comments.
Powell: Madam President, Members of the Council, this property does go -- it's off --
the access is off of Pine onto 2nd and, then, the property does extend from 2nd Street
through to the alley. You may remember this general location. There was a request for
a day care and Rezone on the Schmeckpeper property at this location, so some of the
same neighbors are here today, although they came to the Planning and Zoning
Commission and testified in favor of the application. There is an existing house on the
property and there were several mature, large trees that have since been removed for
development -- in anticipation of development. This is the existing boundary you see
here extends between 2nd and the alley and there is the existing home. The Site Plan is
extremely difficult to read. I will try and walk you through it. Here is the alley. They are
proposing to pave the alley. 2nd Street is here. You can see that they have proposed to
install curb, gutter, and sidewalk, not only on their own property, but it will extend the
same -- the Schroeder's own this property as well. They will come down there and they
have, actually, offered to extend it all the way to Pine. The buildings -- here is -- the
townhouses run north south, there is one -- they are not townhouses. I'm sorry. Four-
plex apartments. There is one, two, three, and four. They have attached garages here.
This garage will have a direct entrance into this unit, as will this. This garage will have
an exit out here and will be for the interior apartments. They are two story apartments
with the bedrooms upstairs and the living units downstairs. Living area. There is a four-
foot path proposed through the site, extending from Pine Street to the alley. There is a
five-foot sidewalk proposed on 2nd Street. At the Planning and Zoning Commission they
had a -- the school is back here. Excuse me. Then, they have individual patios that
look out onto the school grounds. There was a lot of discussion at the Planning and
Zoning Commission Hearing about the trash receptacles. Originally, they had proposed
one on this property, now they are looking at proposing two separate trash receptacles.
The Planning and Zoning Commission gave staff quite a bit of flexibility to work that out
with the applicant, in anticipation of finding a better solution than they could find that
night. I think that Steve has been working with them and this shows the results of that
and I think everyone is pretty much happy. Let's see. Charlene Rokovitz did testify at
the hearing in general opposition to the Old Town rezoning for fear that it will allow
additional uses on that property. Then, it was explained that this would be going in and
that any other use on that property would require another Conditional Use, so I think
she was satisfied with that. The Old Town zoning is required to allow this use on the
Meridian City Council Meeting
August 5, 2003
Page 33 of 56
property. The applicant did work with the neighbors extensively, I believe, and got their
approval -- general approval of the units. None of them testified in opposition at the
Planning and Zoning Commission hearing. There is one item we need to discuss. The
Historic Preservation Commission did provide comments on the application that were
not addressed directly by staff at the Planning and Zoning Commission Hearing,
although they were provided in the packet, they were never addressed. I need to
review those with you now in the event that you want to address any of those concerns.
These are the elevations and I'll come back to those. Those are the floor plans. The
Historical Preservation comments were written directly on there. They also had
questions about the trash receptacles and that's the bubble that they have shown there.
These comments were in regard to existing trees. We have taken care of that. They
had requested an extension of the landscape border in this area and to plant additional
trees. That is the site where the trash receptacle got moved to, so there aren't -- there
isn't a lot of room for those trees right there. Steve has been working with them to
increase the general amount of trees on the property to, basically, maximize it, because
they did take down all the trees mature trees that were there prior to getting approval of
the apartment complex. They also wanted extension of this landscape island. This is
on the -- it is on a different lot, so this would be an off-site improvement. They were
very complimentary about the facade that faces the school grounds, which is this one.
These are -- the patios come out in these areas here. They wanted to see -- this is
what would face this alley and would face 2nd Street and they wanted to see additional
windows, fenestration, put in this area. I think right now there is one window proposed
and they put in two additional on each side, to just break up that facade. This comment
is in regard to the windows, I think it is, here -- windows that they used here where they
are divided, they wanted a similar treatment of these windows up here. None of those
comments, again, were addressed by the Planning and Zoning Commission, so we
wanted to raise them now. That concludes staff's presentation at this time.
De Weerd: Thank you, Anna. Any questions, Council? Okay. Is the applicant here?
Do you promise and affirm that the testimony you provide tonight is the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Cook: I do.
De Weerd: Thank you. Please state your name and address.
Cook: My name is John Cook, the project architect. Address 1111 South Orchard in
Boise.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Cook: The two or three questions that have been raised by the Historical review, in
discussing them Mr. Schroeder, we are looking at item one there, extending some
landscaping, if staff would bring that Landscape Plan back. We have been -- we are in
the throws of relocating the trash enclosures and, again, we have taken that space that
they had proposed for landscaping, we are using that, basically, for our trash enclosure.
Meridian City Council Meeting
August 5, 2003
Page 34 of 56
Part of the issue in the Planning and Zoning hearing was rather than centralize the
trash, we had people walking too far, to, actually, come to the southern most trash
enclosure location, so we split the two for -- each four-plex would have its own trash
enclosure. It has not been the policy for ACHD to let us put trees on in their right of way
and we are looking at trying to get special permission to put trees on that right of way
and our concession was we put the sidewalk and curb and that sort of thing in as far as
the street improvement. We find that trying to improve that to extent and push
sprinklers and grass and maintenance out into the right of way, my client would rather
not have to be put in that position going to back to ACHD for that permission. In regard
to the window treatment on the ends of the building, if you were to look at the floor plan
-- if we would have put those extra windows. We would have a head wall where the
bedrooms are with windows in it that wouldn't leave them any head wall for a bedroom
layout at all. It's probably not a bad comment from the review, but in our particular case
our function pretty well dictates the location of windows. On Item Number 3, I believe,
trash enclosures, they would be finished with materials that would match the apartment
as far as the siding and trim and so we would have a match out on the enclosures with
the apartments. I believe that satisfies the three questions that the Commission had.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, any questions for the applicant?
Bird: I have none.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Mr. Cook, just so I understand the layout, so the frontage of the building -- what is
that facing, is that the back of another house?
Cook: That is facing an existing four-plex.
Nary: Okay.
Cook: You will notice at the bottom of the screen you have got an existing four-plex and
existing garages, so we have, basically, a corridor there. That was brought up in our
previous P&Z Hearing, we'd like to maintain that as a green corridor. If we have to put
an extra tree or two, in there to maintain that, the applicant will probably add a tree or
two to the P&Z wishes.
Nary: So, that's the four-foot path area they were talking about?
Cook: Yes.
Nary: Okay.
Meridian City Council Meeting
August 5, 2003
Page 35 of 56
Cook: And we had a five foot shown there and we reduced that to four to give us a little
more grass area, a little more planting area.
Nary: And what's the fencing on the backside that's going to be facing the school?
mean there is already a chain link there.
Cook: There is an existing chain link fence, I believe, that is going to be mandatory to
keep.
Nary: Right.
Cook: Because that's the school fencing policy and any gates that would have been
there have been closed off, basically for security of the playground.
Nary: So, is it slatted, then?
Cook: No. No. It's just open chain link.
Nary: It's just an open chain link fence. Okay.
De Weerd: And, as I understand it, the school district wants to keep that open, correct?
Cook: They would like to keep their -- they want to know who is on the other side of that
fence. Can't blame them.
De Weerd: Yes. Okay. Any further questions for the applicant? Thank you, Mr. Cook.
Okay. Thank you.
Cook: Thank you.
De Weerd: Is there anyone else who would like to testify? Do you promise and affirm
that the testimony you give tonight is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,
so help you God?
Schroeder: I do.
De Weerd: Please state your name and address.
Schroeder: John Schroeder, 3786 South Century, Boise, Idaho.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Schroeder: Briefly, Council, Madam President, city attorney, three points with regard to
the preservation of the overall neighborhood. We are voluntarily putting in a fire hydrant
on West 2nd on the other side of Pine at substantial expense. Several reasons. One,
we want to enhance the neighborhood and we want closer access to a fire hydrant for
Meridian City Council Meeting
August 5, 2003
Page 36 of 56
everyone in that area, including us. Third, we are the only area that -- in this whole part
of the city of Meridian, except for Pine, where we are putting in sidewalks, gutter -- we
are putting in gutter not only in front of both those properties, but with our neighbor's
property to the south as well, extending all the way to Pine, putting in extra sidewalk, so
with regard to historic preservation of the neighborhood, we really want to upgrade the
neighborhood immensely. We are also paving the alley all the way to Pine -- from the
school property all the way to Pine. That will enhance everyone's property as well on
that side. With regard to the end of West 2nd Street, even though I don't have right-of-
way access to the -- it would be the eastern part, to extend that sidewalk, I am going to
keep weeds down, because, obviously, one of my biggest concerns through the whole
project is to keep that neighborhood feel when people drive into West 2nd Street. Those
are my only comments. I wanted to mention those substantial upgrades in that
neighborhood. Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you, Mr. Schroeder. Any questions?
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Mr. Schroeder, I guess the one question I -- and maybe Mr. Cook would have
been the better one to ask -- but we had a discussion previously about that alley. I
would assume that alley is a two-way alley, because most of them are. I mean how
wide was the alley for ingress and egress there?
Schroeder: I don't know exactly. Maybe Mr. Cook could address that. It is sufficiently
wide for ingress and egress. I might also add that ACHD is -- and we voluntarily agreed
to do it, we are putting in a whole new curb cut with disability access on that Pine Street
sidewalk, so the ingress and egress is a lot easier for people coming in and out. That is
another improvement that I didn't mention. That's off of Pine.
Nary: Okay.
De W eerd: Okay.
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I think that alley is plenty wide for ingress and egress. Bill, it's like a regular road.
Nary: Yes. I think the prior discussion was more the volume of traffic and not the -- not
the width of the alley, but I just wanted to be sure.
Schroeder: Yes.

Nary: Thank you.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you.
Powell: Madam President?
De Weerd: Anna.
Powell: Mr. Nary, the alley is 22 feet wide.
Bird: Yes. I though it was.
De Weerd: Okay. Anyone else who would like to testify? Okay. Well, it's quite
amazing we don't have a full house here. Any questions or comments? Okay. I would
entertain a motion to close the Public Hearing.
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move that we close the Public Hearing RZ 03-007 and CUP 03-026.

favor say aye. Okay. All ayes. Motion carried.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
De Weerd: Any discussion?
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I guess the only comment I would make is I'm very appreciative of Mr. Schroeder
for what they are doing to improve the neighborhood there. I think that's a great
addition to what's there and I appreciate the additional steps they have gone through to
enhance the quality of not just this development, but also the surrounding
neighborhoods, so I think it's great.
De Weerd: I would just add one more comment, too. It's very apparent how you have
worked with the neighbors and that's certainly has been appreciated, too. Okay. I
would entertain a motion.
Bird: Madam President?

Kelly Creek Subdivision and ask staff to comment on these public hearings.
Powell: Madam President, Members of the Council, this project is located at McMillan
and Linder Road. As shown here, there was -- Bridgetower Subdivision borders the
property to the south. I wanted to point that out, because there was an elementary
school proposed across the street from this -- about at the center of the property that
was originally going to take access internally, that now will be going to McMillan Road
and I will talk about that in a little bit, as shown here. There are a few existing homes on
the site. It's been probably a challenge to JUB to incorporate those existing homes into
the layout of the property. This is the revised -- no, this is not the revised Site Plan.
This is the revised Site Plan as recommend to you by Planning and Zoning
Commission. I will go through some of the features. There is an entrance off of
McMillan. The terminal vista of that is this large park area and also entrances from
Linder Road here and here. There is also a connection into Havasu -- Lochsa. Sorry.
I'm still getting caught up on the subdivisions that aren't really there. There is a
connection to Lochsa here that is being adjusted a little bit to accommodate this
subdivision and there is a letter to that effect. The developer of Lochsa has agreed to
that. Then, this -- there is a connection here where it terminates into a cul-de-sac that
was provided for the benefit of the property owner that takes access from a private road
along here and that would remain. There are two commercial areas, one here with
small office buildings and another more retail oriented commercial area here at the
intersection of Linder and McMillan. There is an access to -- a public street access to
Meridian City Council Meeting
August5,2003
Page 40 of 56
both of those properties there and there. There is also a pedestrian access here. The
applicant has moved -- worked to move some of these buildings, so that that pedestrian
access didn't end right at the back side of a building, so they have opened that up
considerably. There was also a lot of discussion at the Planning and Zoning
Commission about a series of lots that were in here. They have, for the time being, just
combined them into a single lot. This does -- the lot does accommodate one of the
larger, nicer homes existing on the property. There was some question coming from
Planning and Zoning Commission as to exactly how many lots we are approving and
how many square feet of office space and how many square feet of commercial. The
confusion arises in that our understanding is at this point we are just giving conceptual
approval of this, yet they have shown platted lots there, so it's confusing the issue of the
lot count and we have asked the applicant to clarify that today. It's basically the same
issue here. It's conceptual approval of these two areas and, then, detailed approval for
the Planned Development for the remainder of the property. We have close ups of
those two commercial areas and that's all we have. With that, I will end staff's
presentation.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, any questions for staff? Okay. Will the applicant, please,
come forward? Do you promise and affirm that the testimony you give tonight is the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Fluke: I do.
De Weerd: Thank you. Please, state your name and address.
Fluke: Madam President, Members of the Council, Darin Fluke, JUB Engineers, 250
South Beechwood in Boise, representing the applicant in this matter. In the spirit of
brevity that's infusing the room this evening, I pledge to keep my presentation to 90
minutes or less.
De Weerd: Well, you have five minutes.
Fluke: I can do it in five, though. Anna, could I see the Site Plan, either the original or
the modified -- this is the modified Site Plan. I think they did a good job of going through
the various features of this layout. We have almost 80 acres here. This is about a four
and a half acre park in the center, and it accommodates a tot lot, a basketball court, and
an open play field, as well as generous landscaping. One feature that Anna didn't
mention that I'd just like to point out for you is the interconnected system of paths within
here splitting these blocks up here and here, here, basically, anywhere where the
blocks got a little bit long, we inserted a path to enhance pedestrian access to the public
road network. Let me just address the concerns that -- that are in the staff report. We
worked out most all of the issues with Planning and Zoning Commission. We eliminated
a couple of lots that we showed here, because there was some concern over a private
drive, so what we show is one large lot here, I believe it's in the neighborhood of an
acre, with a flag providing access to the local road, so that we can eliminate the
driveway to McMillan. This also accommodates an existing house and its driveway will
Meridian City Council Meeting

remain. It does meet the offsets and that was redesigned -- the offsets required by the
Highway District. That's where we are proposing for -- for the existing dwellings on site.
There is also a dwelling over here that will go away, eventually, and a dwelling over
here that will also go away. We have almost ten percent open space within this, as well
as the interconnecting system of pathways. We did work with the developer over here
to relocate this road just about 50 feet to the north for -- to enhance the layout for us
here. You have a letter to that effect, I believe, in your packet. I hope you do, anyway.
We just got -- or I got that over to staff today. With regard to this issue of the conceptual
layout of the commercial area and the office area, what I stated to the P&Z is that we
have asked for them to be platted, we do show these as lots, but the layout itself and
how they all fit together is conceptual. We will have to come back with more detailed
approvals when buildings go in there, but what we did was a maximum yield plan. We
wanted to know what we could fit on there and that's what you see before you. If
anything, you will see less than what you see here. This is the maximum that we can fit
on there, so we are asking for that, and we will work backwards from that. We do -- we
are asking for a conceptual approval of this layout, with the understanding that when we
come back with detailed approvals, that the Site Plan may change somewhat and it may
include something less than the square footage originally applied for. With regard to the
number of lots, there was some confusion at the Planning and Zoning Commission with
what we ended up with, because of what we eliminated. There were three lots
eliminated, but only two of them were buildable, and so we -- what you see on this plan
here includes 214 single-family dwelling lots. In general, the east-west road here
divides the property between lots that are in the neighborhood 6,000 square feet. To
the north, we have lots that are in the neighborhood of 8,000 square feet. They just get
a little bit larger as you go to the north. It pretty well lines up with what's been approved
around us. Lochsa Falls here, Bridgetower to the south, and Paramount to the east.
We pretty much have developments all the way around us. We have worked hard to
align all of our driveways and road connections with what's already been approved.
About a week ago I got a call saying that a school was approved as part of Bridgetower,
which initially didn't have a connection to McMillan, so I got in touch with the architect
for the school district and we are working on that issue and it appears that they are
going to be able to accommodate the location of our public road here with their new
driveway, so we don't think we have an issue there. In summary, we think we have
developed a nice project here with a lot of open space and a lot of nice amenities for the
residents and we think it complies really well with what you had in mind for the north
Meridian area and we'd just ask for your approval.
De Weerd: Council, do you have any questions?
Fluke: Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you. Is there anyone who would like to provide further testimony?
Please raise your right hand.
Moss: Tony Moss. Oops. Go ahead.

De Weerd: Do you promise and affirm that the testimony you provide tonight is the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Moss: I do.
De Weerd: Please, state your name and address.
Moss: Tony Moss, 2400 West McMillan.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Moss: I live in that little square right there, the white square just to the - yes, to the
upper left part of that development. I have a Development Agreement between Lochsa
Falls -- excuse me, Farwest Development Corporation and Dan Gibson, which outlines
all the ends and outs of the whole development. How many roads, how many streets,
how many cul-de-sacs a fairly lengthy agreement. I just wondered if -- some of the
statements in here this agreement and this particular development will be harmonious
with all the other developments around it and I'm wondering is this development
harmonious with Lochsa Falls and with Bridgetower to the degree that this development
-- or, excuse me, this document outlines? There is a lot of information in here and I just
wonder if we are getting in a hurry here, because that whole section of ground out there
is now developed completely between Lochsa Falls and Kelly Creek Subdivision. Are
all the houses harmonious and all the roads and all the cul-de-sacs with Lochsa Falls
and is the -- is the development, since it is going to take up the whole section, really that
necessary, because of the -- from the standpoint of Linder, Ten Mile, and McMillan are
not scheduled for type of road improvement for the next five years. This is all set up -- I
don't know what speed it can go through or any speed that the developers want, but the
traffic on those roads right now is unbelievable. Are we going too fast for the area or
the services from Ada County or City of Meridian or whoever it is to make this
development go, along with everything else that's been approved out in that particular
section? I'm not opposed to the Lochsa Falls Subdivision, because certain
accommodations have been made for me, because of the easement that I have with the
developers, but I'm sure -- I'm sure curious about it meeting the harmonious -- being
harmonious with Lochsa Falls and being harmonious with the community, because of
just the actual strain of what this is going to do to that particular area. It's more of a
comment than a question -- rather than a statement, but I just -- I'm the only one out
there that's living in a single-family unit in that whole section. If I didn't say something,
I'd feel bad about it and I really think that this particular development, in looking at it,
and looking at Lochsa Falls, is not harmonious with the surrounding area. I'm kind of
going backwards here, because it says this one will be, meaning Lochsa Falls, but I
don't think this one is harmonious with the rest of the development in that section,
including the park, including everything else. With that, I will answer any questions, but
De Weerd: Thank you. Council, any--
Meridian City Council Meeting

Page 43 of 56
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Mr. Moss, I guess if you could maybe be more specific. What specifically do you
not believe to be harmonious? Is it the potential volume of traffic, the influx of people
into that area?
Moss: Size of lots. All those things. Potential volume of traffic. Also, I just wonder if
this agreement that I have here -- how much research has gone into it being
harmonious with what we are trying to develop here. Does it -- are all the things
harmonious? I mean that's kind of a general term, I admit, but this particular subdivision
and this particular part of that section out there is a lot different than Lochsa Falls as far
as entryways, as far as roads, as far as size of lots, and harmonious to me does -- since
it's one entire section. It's all being developed at one time, why wouldn't it be a lot
similar in size, streets, everything else involved here and also the commercial buildings
and the other amenities that this development is going to provide? It just doesn't seem
to me -- and that's my opinion, but -- and that's reading this document, not knowing
exactly all the things that's happened here, but just looking at the information from the
City Council and Planning and Zoning, it just doesn't seem like it really fits.
Nary: Is your concern that this -- like, for example -- I just want to clarify in my mind.
For example, many times people that live on this side of the line want this border area to
be of similar size, style, or whatever. Is that what you're talking about?
Moss: I'm passed that. I'm just saying the whole section. I'm not trying to be selfish
with myself or my location in this particular situation or saying that everything around my
particular piece of property should be more like Lochsa Falls, I'm just saying that I look
at the whole development. I say it doesn't really match what's going on around me and
I don't think it matches what's going around in the other areas, too, so it's just -- it's just
a case of the size, the density, the size of -- and the type of development is not
harmonious with the rest of the area and --
Nary: So, you're saying it's denser because of smaller lots than the other ones around
it?
Moss: Exactly.
Nary: Okay.
Moss: And I think it's -- I don't want to say ill-conceived, but I just don't think that it has
the same character as Lochsa Falls and I just don't think it has the same type of
entryways, the same type of pathways, the same size of parks. I know they are
requirements -- certain areas -- certain size of park for certain areas of the city, I'm just
saying it seems to me that the rest of the development in that particular section is very
well planned and I'm not comfortable with it. This particular part doesn't seem as good
Meridian City Council Meeting
August 5, 2003
Page 44 of 56
and as well planned as the rest of the section, because when this happens, if it does,
that's the whole section right there.
Nary: And, Mr. Moss, one more thing. I mean have you had any discussions with the
developers of Lochsa Falls or any of the other ones because, obviously, they are not
here to express the same concerns. I wondered have you had any discussion with
them.
Moss: Not really. I have talked to Marty Goldsmith a couple of times, but not in relation
to this. I am -- like I said, I have had certain concessions because of the easement that
I have into my piece of property that's bordering this, but -- and I'm comfortable with
that. I mean I feel that I got a fair deal and that's the way it is, but it's not a selfish thing
that I think my property values are going to change dramatically because of this, I'm just
-- I'm just -- as an overview it just doesn't look like it fits with the rest of the area. It's not
harmonious to the document, along with everything else in that particular area.
De Weerd: Well, it sounds like you talked with the Lochsa developers quite extensively.
I am assuming that you haven't really talked directly with the developer of this piece.
Moss: No, I have not.
De Weerd: So, you don't know what their vision is or -- sometimes looking at these
plats you just don't see the landscaping or the entryways or any of that, what kind of -- if
the applicant hadn't of told us what was in the open space, you have no idea what's in
the open space. It could be that their development is similar to Lochsa, but they haven't
shared that vision with you.
Moss: Well, I have seen all the Lochsa Falls plats and all the information, because I am
kind of a part of that and looking at that and looking at this. Just, like you say,
envisioning what I see in this particular area and the size of lots, it looks quite a bit
different to me, but I'm not an expert at this, I'm just using the information I have. I am
privy to a little bit more than the ordinary person, because I'm the only one living out
there and I'm probably more interested in the whole thing and it just doesn't look the
same as -- the same conducive development that Lochsa Falls is. I apologize for not
being more educated on this type of thing, but that's all you have to deal with, so that's
what I am dealing with.
De Weerd: Thank you, Mr. Moss. Any further questions?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Okay. Is there anyone else who would like to testify on this application?
Okay. Would you like to come up and respond?
Fluke: Well, Madam President, Darin Fluke, JUB, for the record. I guess I would just
tend to differ with Mr. Moss on the compatibility of the developments. By almost any
Meridian City Council Meeting
AugustS,2003
Page 45 of 56
measure that you want to use we are compatible. Our gross density comes in at just
barely over three units to the acre. I think Lochsa is something at like three and a half
to the acre. We have all single-family dwellings. I think they have got some multi-family
in their development, but they have also got some offices and some retail, if I'm not
mistaken. Land use wise we are almost one for one what they are doing. Open space,
they have provided a city park, because that's where a city park was needed, so we,
obviously, don't need one, but we have provided a fairly substantial contiguous piece of
open space, so we compare there. As far as roads, our roads will be exactly the same
section, a 50 -foot right of way with 36-foot roads, curb, gutter and sidewalk on both
sides. We have connected with every single stub street that adjoins the property here,
here, here and here. Four of them. I'm not sure what else we could do to be
compatible. You know, the lot sizes, like I said, we range from 6,000 square feet at the
low end, up to, you know, probably 12,000 square feet at the high end with an average
being somewhere around seven or eight thousand square feet, real similar to what
Lochsa Falls is doing. We don't have a roundabout, they do. Other than that, you
know, I'm just not sure what we could do to be more harmonious. Again, with
Bridgetower to the south, same kind of concept, they did a PUD, mix of land uses, and
Paramount as well to the east. I can say with certainty that we are harmonious with the
Meridian Comprehensive Plan, because that's the first thing we look at when we laid
this out and decided what was going to go in here and that's why you have what you
have in front of you, is because of that plan. We regard to the other standards, that are
because of the zoning ordinance, you know, the lot sizes and dimensional standards,
we follow the book. We think it's a good development. I guess I should just mention as
well that we are sharing an irrigation system with Lochsa Falls, which right now they are
building a pump station about in this area, which is requiring an 16 inch water line to
that. That sort of gives you an idea of the scale of development. That's a very big water
line for an irrigation line feeding that pump station and that will serve both of our
developments.
McCandless: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mrs. McCandless.
McCandless: Mr. Fluke, how does your house square footage compare?
Fluke: Well, I don't know what the condition was for Lochsa, but we will have dwellings
no smaller than 1,400 square feet per the ordinance and up. It's typically a function of
the lot size as well. The 6,000 square foot lots will accommodate a 1 AOO square foot
dwelling.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Mr. Fluke, is this the main entry for this subdivision that's right there?
Meridian City Council Meeting
August 5,2003
Page 46 of 56
Fluke: Well, there is that and, then, there is this one as well that we consider to be the
main entrances.
Nary: Okay. Was there -- since this is just a small drawing, was there some entryway
type of enhancement that we are looking at for that or -- and one other thing, too. Did I
understand you to say there will be this entryway, but there will also be some -- a
driveway here right for an existing home?
Fluke: Right. There is a driveway there now and we will maintain that until the land use
changes on that. The treatment -- the entryway treatments have not been designed yet,
but they will be similar to what you see -- what we have got is a 30 foot landscape buffer
here and a 25 foot landscape buffer here, which will accommodate the detached
sidewalk, as well as, you know, ample landscaping and some kind of signage feature.
De Weerd: Mr. Fluke, how are your business -- or your pads, your retail or office space,
how are they accessing? I see you do have some interconnectivity with the
neighborhoods, but what are the access points out onto the road -- or into the arterial?
Fluke: This particular one here has an internal connection, as you noted. It's got a right
in, right out here and, then, it's got a full access drive there and there and, then, this we
initially designed with two access points, but it didn't work because of a road approved
in Bridgetower, we eliminated the two and have a single drive in here and, then, a local
road connection here. Those -- those drives were supported by the traffic study, which
indicated that they would be adequate to serve the development contemplated on those
lots.
De Weerd: So, on the one that's on the west, there is only one entrance out there?
Fluke: Correct. Yes. There was not enough room to get a second entrance with the
other drives -- with the -- particularly the road here to the south in Bridgetower, which
we now align with, but we also have an entryway into Lochsa over here that we had to
offset from. Given what was already approved, we didn't have room to get more than
the one to the arterial, but we do have the interior connection as well.
De Weerd: So, what is just directly to the west of that? Is that residential backing up to
it or is that --
Fluke: That's a landscape feature in Lochsa. They have got some large open area
here. That's why it wasn't so much of an issue for them to move this, because it
basically made this landscape area a little bit bigger and this one a little bit smaller, so it
was kind of a one for one.
De Weerd: Well, staff, I'd really like to see how these things interconnect with -- if we
have Preliminary Plats on these things, just to see how they do connect.
Meridian City Council Meeting
August 5, 2003
Page 47 of 56
Powell: Madam President, Members of the Council, did you get the letter from the
Lochsa Falls folks? Did that make it into your files? It had a brief sketch that at least
showed the two road alignments, but that was all it showed. Madam President, I will
take that back to staff. We will try and compile something, because I think you're
absolutely right, it would be helpful.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I guess I'm not finding something from Lochsa Falls. Is it a letter? Oh. Okay.
They had no other objection, other than just showing you where the streets align?
Powell: Right. Their concern was that they wanted to make sure that they didn't have
to move the other easement immediately west to that and ACHD's response was, no,
they do not.
De Weerd: Okay. Sorry. We were looking on our computers. Are there any further
questions for Mr. Fluke?
Fluke: Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Powell: Madam President, Members of the Council, while you're contemplating, I did
bring up the issue of the school. Bridgetower before, just because I wanted to assure
you that we had asked the applicant to work with the school district to make sure that
was going to be possible for them to get the driveways they needed, since it had not
been contemplated at the Preliminary Plat stage.
De Weerd: Well, the Public Hearing is still open and I don't see any further testifies.
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: If we are all done with anything that needs to be said in public, I would move that
we -- I'm sorry. I move that we close Public Hearing AZ 03 --
De Weerd: I'm sorry, Keith. There is still --
Bird: Okay.
De Weerd: I'm sorry, sir.
Gibson: My name is Daniel Gibson.
Meridian City Council Meeting
AugustS,2003
Page 48 of 56
De Weerd: Do you promise and affirm that the testimony you provide tonight is the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Gibson: I do.
De Weerd: Please state your name and address.
Gibson: My name is Daniel Gibson. My address is 19500 Highway 20-26, Caldwell,
Idaho. I'm the owner of the property that's just to the west of this property and I think
my question is on this commercial property they have the one entryway into it. Then,
you look at the main entryway coming into the subdivision and it makes a left turn, it
looks like the road almost like dead ends, it doesn't look like there is a cul-de-sac there.
I just wonder why that road doesn't continue through into the -- right in there. Right.
That looks kind of like it's a dead end. It looks like that should enter into the commercial
area maybe to make the flow through there a little better. Otherwise, I -- what I see
happening is in that commercial area I see a lot of traffic going over to come through the
Lochsa Falls Subdivision. It just kind of looks like it dead-ends there with a two-lot split.
It doesn't look like there is even a cul-de-sac. The other thing that -- if you look at your
letter, you see the subdivision of Lochsa Falls -- and this is a real entryway and when
you look at the entryway on these subdivisions, they are just single streets, I mean it
doesn't show the landscaping or anything, you know, what that entryway is really going
to look like. I mean is the Lochsa Falls Subdivision entryway going to look real well
landscaped and this entryway is going to distract from it or -- it just doesn't look like they
are going to be equal. And you can't really tell from this drawing and know exactly what
they are going to do. I'm just saying I see a dead end and I see just streets coming into
a subdivision. That's the only thing I wanted to mention.
De Weerd: Thank you, Mr. Gibson. Any questions? Do you want to respond?
Fluke: What we have got here is an L-type turn around, which has been approved by
the Fire Department in the past. We still have to have Meridian Fire Department
approval for this type of turn around. We don't really want to encourage traffic utilizing
these two developments to travel through our subdivision or Lochsa Falls. There is no
benefit to them to come up to here and come out to here, because you still have the
same turning movement onto McMillan Road that you do right here. This is an office
use, it's fairly low intensity, it's not retail uses or anything like that and, again, the traffic
study showed that a single entrance would accommodate it just fine, given the
anticipated volume of traffic. As far as the entryway corridors go, yes, we don't have a
split entry with a median in there, but we will have nice landscaping in the landscape
buffer with a nice entry feature that will not detract from Lochsa Falls in any way. We
don't want this one to go through, because we don't want to encourage local traffic.
What we want to encourage is people to walk to these developments, which is what the
plan envisions and which is why these uses are getting incorporated with the residential
uses. We initially didn't have a road connection here, that was at the behest of staff,
and the reason I didn't put that there was for the same reason, that I would rather not
Meridian City Council Meeting
August 5, 2003
Page 49 of 56
encourage people from here or from Lochsa Falls to hop in their car and drive here,
we'd rather have them walk here. What we initially had was a pedestrian path there,
rather than a road connection, so -- another road connection simply is not necessary
here and what it will do will be to detract from the value of the lots in that area, so that's
why it is the way that it is.
De Weerd: So, Darin, on your smaller lots, your 6,000 square foot lots, you said you're
going to put a 1,400 square foot house on that?
Fluke: Yes.
De Weerd: Okay. You don't have any duplexes, townhouses, four-plexes, or anything
like that?
Fluke: No, ma'am. All single-family product in this.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: So, is there a path right here, Mr. Fluke? Is that -- is that what this is or is.this a
drainage or --
Fluke: This is a common area that will be used as open space, you know, for the
people here, It will be landscaped and I believe that it likely will accommodate a shallow
swale, but it will be landscaped and it will be open and it does provide a pedestrian
connection. As well, the Planning and Zoning Commission wanted us to provide an
easement to this lot in the event that it does with commercial land uses in the future,
which is not our intent, but, you know, 50 years down the road or whatever, who knows,
so we will provide an easement to access this -- this parcel from this parcel. Like I said,
it's got a single-family dwelling that's only a few years old and so we anticipate that that
will remain for a while anyway.
Nary: So, really, just to follow up, then, I guess on the previous comment by Mr.
Gibson, really, the intent of these access points here, really, is just to allow some of this
traffic to get through there, but, really, like you said, there is not really any real purpose
for people to drive back through this, unless they happen to live up here.
Fluke: That's correct.
Nary: They are going to come out on these points here or there or there.
Fluke: And if they were headed to points north and west, there is just really no benefit
to coming through this development to get there. I mean we connect at the points that
are there, but the attractions in Lochsa are going to utilize their on collector roads,
Meridian City Council Meeting
August 5, 2003
Page 50 of 56
because that will be the easiest way to get through, rather than coming through the
circuitous route of this project.
De Weerd: Just one more question is what kind of market are you attracting by this
subdivision?
Fluke: What kind of market?
De Weerd: Housing market.
Fluke: Well, are you talking price wise? I imagine that the dwellings in the upper end of
this will probably start in that 160,000 range, similar to Cedar Springs and Watersong,
Cedar Springs North. In the southern end of the development on the smaller lots, those
lots will probably -- I don't -- they will probably start at 120 grand or so.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you.
Fluke: Thank you.
Powell: Madam President, Members of the Council?
De Weerd: Anna.
Powell: I just wanted to let you know that the Site Plan, the most current Site Plan,
does have today's date on it -- or the most current Preliminary Plat. Excuse me.
De Weerd: And what is the date on that?
Powell: August 5th.
De Weerd: Okay. Is there any further discussion? Okay. Is there any further
testimony?
Bird: Madam President, then, if there is no more testimony, I will move that we close
the public hearings for AZ 03-013 and PP 03-014, and CUP 03-028.
McCandless: Second.
Nary: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. It's been moved to close the Public Hearing on Items 16, 17, and 18.
All those in favor say aye. Okay. All ayes.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
De Weerd: Discussion?
Meridian City Councll Meeting
AugustS, 2003
Page 51 of 56
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I think the only comment I have -- I think it's a very nice subdivision, I think it is
compatible with the surrounding areas. I mean I understand Mr. Moss's concern and it's
the same concern we always have is the volume of people that are coming, but I think
that, you know, it's always the same issues, that the people -- the people come and the
roads get expanded. That's just how it works. I think they have done an excellent job at
trying to provide what we have wanted in our Comprehensive Plan, I think the quality of
the housing and this is -- looks very good. I think the open space is a tremendous asset
to this subdivision. I appreciate the fact that it has approximately ten percent of open
space, so I think that's great. We don't see that very often and I don't think we have
seen too many subdivisions over two houses that did not require a Variance for a block
length. They have done an excellent job of putting some pathways in and providing
some other ways for people to get around in here without just driving, so I can't see any
down sides at all.
McCandless: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mrs. McCandless.
McCandless: I concur. He beat me to it, but I would have said just about everything he
did. I like it very much.
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. I would entertain a motion, then.
Bird: Madam President?

MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Item 19.
Approve 2004 fiscal Year Tentative Budget:
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Item 19, approve the 2004 Fiscal Year Tentative
Budget. I think there is one item that in our Pre-Council, we didn't discuss and that was
if there is any desire by Council to do anything with the Council president pay. I think
that would have to -- well, I guess that wouldn't influence this, it would just shift a
number a little bit, but it would be an appropriate place to have the discussion, if you
would like to further discuss it.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I guess in thinking about this particular issue, I guess I was looking at a broader
issue. I do think it is not unreasonable -- I know it's always difficult to want to have
anything that pays anybody up here, no one ever wants to do that, but I don't -- I think
your proposal is not unreasonable, because I do recognize that the Council president
position does carry a lot of other responsibilities. Again, I don't know what everyone
else thinks. I know that the city of Boise does not pay the Council president more. I
don't know about other cities. I know the City of Boise ordinances do pay the Council
president a stipend whenever the mayor is out of town and the Council president has to
be the mayor, so they -- I don't know if that's a trade-off that they have come up with,
but they do have that provision. Something else that we may want to think of more of
along term and not necessarily for this discussion, but the Mayor's pay and the Council
pay is set by ordinance and at least one method to look at for long term is whether or
not we want to have an ordinance that has some built-in increases to those salaries
over some period of time, whether it's yearly or biannually, whatever. I mean something
like that. I think that you have -- I think at some point you have to discuss those and
those are always very uncomfortable ones to address and I think the way some
municipalities deal with that is simply by enacting ordinances that set pre-set times as to
when increases for those positions will occur, so that it's done in ordinance form, there
is a public hearing to it, and it's really done fairly openly, but I don't have a particular
preference one way or the other. I understood your reason for proposing it and I think
there is some merit to that, but I don't really have a burning issue one way or the other,
so -- I don't know what everyone else thinks.
De Weerd: Is there any other comments?
Meridian City Council Meeting
AugustS,2003
Page 54 of 56
Nary: Sounds like moving on to me.
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move that we approve the Tentative Fiscal Year 2004 Budget -- I mean this is
very tentative, because we have got a Public Hearing in August and -- but I move that
we approve it if we have to.
De Weerd: If we have to? Is that part of your motion?
Bird: This is the first time -- this is the first time I have ever -- in six years that we have
ever done this.
De Weerd: Yes.
Bird: Done a tentative -- yes, it is.
Nary: Actually, we do it every year.
Berg: We do it every year.
Nary: It's just to provide the notice to what we are doing, so that --
Bird: I thought we did that two weeks ago.
Berg: Madam President?
De Weerd: Yes. Because those were worked out. Mr. Berg.
Berg: If I could just address a few issues. We are required to approve a tentative
budget, so we can notice the figures in the paper, so people could come into Public
Hearing and comment on those figures and we do, do it every year. We kind of agreed
upon something, but we also -- two weeks ago, but we also said that we would put it on
this calendar date to approve it officially --
Bird: Oh. Okay.
Berg: -- once Stacy put together all the figures and made sure everything came to the
right understanding of what you guys decided. The other issue is that once we approve
this tentative budget, my understanding is we don't -- we can't go over that or increase
it, we have to keep to that amount or we could approve something lower, so we always
want to keep that in mind also. Thank you.
Meridian City Council Meeting
August 5,2003
Page 55 of 56
Nary: I would second that motion, but I just have a comment.
De Weerd: Okay. Mr. Nary.
Nary: I did note in the documents, as we had discussed in the hearings, the 2.5 percent
increases included in the personnel base of each department and that is noted in each
of the different sections, the general fund, special services, and enterprise. It also
indicates that the employee merit and incentive for each set -- for each portion of the
budget in the special services fund. The general fund it's indicated that the employee
merit and incentive section has a number affixed to it and it indicates on the note that
the Council is to administer as we had directed, it is not reflected in the enterprise fund
regarding the personnel. I simply would ask that that be corrected to include that they
all be the same that was meant for all the different sections. Other than that --
Bird: Yes. That's fine.
De Weerd: Will, can you make sure that Stacy gets that comment?
Berg: Madam President, yes, I will.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you.
Bird: Call for the question.
De Weerd: Okay. The question has been called for. There is a motion on the table to
approve the 2004 Fiscal Year Tentative Budget as presented before you. All those in
favor say aye. Do we need role call? No. Okay.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
De Weerd: Okay. Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Madam President, because of a prior item on the agenda, I'd ask the Council
to enter Executive Session for -- if you would, 67-2345(1 )(c) with regard to negotiations
to acquire an interest in real property and ask that Mr. Watson be available.
De Weerd: Okay.
Nary: Before we do that, could I ask one question of Mr. Watson, so that he doesn't
have to wait around a long time. Madam President?
De Weerd: Yes.
Nary: We had a letter in our boxes today from Amanda Alvaro from the Quasar
Development and my recollection was we had this discussion previously with Tuscany
and we said whatever you want to do, Brad, was fine and so we didn't necessarily grant
Meridian City Council Meeting
August 5, 2003
Page 56 of 56
this approval that she thinks we might have granted and I didn't know if you had had
some further contact or we needed to make some direction, but is this the one I'm
thinking, they had asked to cut across the property that we said no, that we weren't
going to make you do that, that was their call and it was not within the plan and that was
fine, so --
Watson: Councilman Nary, their next project called Tuscany Village is at Planning and
Zoning Commission Thursday night. The cut-through sewer would be within that
project, so I think her letter is directed to be included in that testimony for that Public
Hearing Thursday night.
Nary: Okay, Yes. The letter was addressed to us and I guess it was -- so it's still
pending. I don't think we -- I guess what I -- I just wanted to clarify is I don't believe we
gave direction to simply change the plan, I think we simply said let the process take its
course. It's still doing that and this is relevant as to that; is that correct?
Watson: That's my understanding that this is the normal course of events where they
will address it.
Nary: Okay.
De Weerd: Okay. Well, I would entertain a motion.
Bird: Madam President, I move that we go into Executive Session as per 67-2345(1 )(c).
De Weerd: Okay and do I have a second?
McCandless: Second.
Nary: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. It's been moved and seconded to adjourn into Executive Session.

Overpass Right-of-Way
De Weerd: Item Number 3 this is a continuation of the discussion of Locust
Grove Overpass right of way reimbursement. We asked Bruce Mills to come
back and talk to us. Council Member Bird was not here so we postponed it until
you could hear it too. Thank you. Keith just a little background we did say
Meridian City Pre-Council rliH~eting
August 5, 2003
Page 2 of 12
probably the main bulk of the questions were regarding the intersection at
Overland and Locust Grove.
Mills: Yes. Bruce Mills ACHD Garden City. I've given you a sketch of the
intersection with Overland Road and Locust Grove. The highlighted yellow areas
are the actual areas where we're doing takes so we're not purchasing entire
parcels. However, up in the northwest corner we are buying a pond site for
detention. I went over this with staff at ACHD and basically we feel that yes,
there are a few parcels that probably do not fall within the boundaries of the
project which is Locust Grove from Overland to Franklin including the
intersections. Let me say this, what we're looking at right now is the approaches
to the intersections of course do need some widening as a mixture of right of way
because of tapers and widening out for turn lanes. Part of that was included in
the right of way takes. However, if you look at Lot Number 9, which is on the
southeast corner of the intersection, we purchased the entire frontage a strip
along that. We only need about half of it for our turn lane so we're proposing to
credit back that south 475 feet and not charge the city for that right of way.
Similarly, on the west leg of the intersection there are Lots 1, 2, 3, and 4 of
Sportsman Pointe. Again, we purchased those however the major reason for
those purchases is for the widening of Overland Road in the future not for Locust
Grove. We would exclude those as well. Also, the pond site itself there's a
yellow strip we're purchasing an easement. This is in the northwest corner of the
intersection. We're purchasing an easement along the west side of Lots 6 and 7
and the pond site itself. However, I've been told by our design and construction
people that that pond site is only handling about 25 percent of the - the pond site
is sized to handle Locust Grove flows. The other 75 percent is actually to handle
Overland flows from that project when we do that. Therefore, we should have a
credit back on that. Unfortunately, tonight I have not had an opportunity for our
staff to calculate the exact amount of those credits but they're going to be
something in the range of 100 to 120,000 dollars. That's my best guess at this
point. What we would propose to do is under the sheet that I don't know if you
still have it from last time but it was our billings. Number 4 was the one that we
have not received - you have not made a payment on yet and that was for
179,609 dollars. That's for Lots 6, and 7 for what we've purchased there. We
would probably subtract those credits out of that, send you a new bill for that
which would be again probably 100 to 120,000 dollars less than that 179,000 that
you have.
Bird: Madam President.
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Bruce, when we get these credits back I want -- like Lot 1 how much they
paid for that. This six and seven is absolutely ridiculous. Anybody that would
pay that amount for what the footage you're getting because 10 takes up most of
the footage. Now I don't know what you're paying for the pond sites -
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
August 5, 2003
Page 3 of 12
Mills: Quite a bit I think -
Bird: -- a whale of a price for it but I tell you we don't have 100 feet there that we
had agreed to help purchase. That's 179,000 dollars. When we break these out
I don't know how ACHD thought we were going to be paying down on Overland
Road and everything when our agreement was between Overland Road on
Locust to Franklin Road on Locust over the deal. They're billing us for that. I just
want to want a break out of what each lot costs because that's not hard to do
when it comes through.
Mills: For every lot regardless of the ones that we're giving credits on you would
like a list of?
Bird: Yes even with the credits I still want to know what we paid for them.
Mills: Okay that's no problem. We can do that.
De Weerd: Bruce it might be helpful I don't know if you can answer this at this
point but if you can tell us how the prices are arrived at. The prices of this right of
way.
Mills: For each parcel broken down is that what you mean?
De Weerd: Yes.
Mills: Because we have a land value and we have easements that we buy as
well for the slopes we may be tying into. We have damages and improvements
that we purchase. Fences, trees, and that type of thing along the parcels. I don't
know how detailed you want.
Nichols: Madam President.
Mills: We also have administrative settlement amounts for some of these parcels
where what we offer at fair market value they won't accept that and we go a little
higher.
De Weerd: Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Madam President the agreement is supposed to require that when they
submit a billing there is supposed to be a copy of the purchase and sale
agreement, a copy of the closing statement, a copy of the cost of the appraisal
and negotiation, recorded deed and summary of transaction including total
amount requested for reimbursement.
Mills: Right and I can't tell you if we sent that or not. Have we sent those?
Meridian City Pre-Council rvteeting
August 5, 2003
Page 4 of 12
Smith: Madam President and Council Members we did receive quite a packet of
information with each invoice. Some of it was - well there was a lot of
information there let me put it that way. I'm not sure I understood all of it but
there was an appraisal enclosed with the information. There was a purchase
agreement enclosed with it and just a lot of information there that was transmitted
to me from the Finance Department.
De Weerd: Okay so Mr. Bird if you wanted to review that information that
probably would answer a lot of your questions. I think those are what you are
looking for right.
Bird: If we got them in there I'll go take a look.
De Weerd: Okay.
Mills: j'lI still provide you with a summary as you asked for, for each parcel, how
much it costs and a breakdown of what we're crediting back.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Nary: Madam President.
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Yes, in looking at one of these maps, Bruce, you know it looks like on the
other side the north side of the freeway there the one that sort of jumped out at
me seemed a little odd. I know we're not looking at a billing for that yet but at
Lots 15, 16, and 18 it appears that the way it is drawn on this map it's not the
frontage. I'm not sure -
Mills: I'm sorry that must be one of the other let me get the other map out.
Nary: It appears - yes because at least the way it is drawn it's drawn off the
roadway. I don't know what's there so I'm not particularly sure when we get to
the billing part of that as - I don't know what's in that space.
Bird: We already paid for it though.
Nary: What's that?
Bird: We paid for that.
Mills: We actually purchased along Locust Grove even though the arrows are
pointing kind of on the west side of the parcel. We purchased all along the east
side a portion of the frontage.
Meridian City Pre-Council Ivleeting
August 5, 2003
Page 5 of 12
Nary: Oh I see yes that was paid July 14th I'm sorry. Then looking at the map it
doesn't appear that it's actually frontage on the road so I'm not sure exactly if
there's another map with a yellow highlighter that's going to come that says will
be actually bought or paid for.
Mills: I can do that. I'm sorry I didn't tonight because I was concentrating on the
intersection but I can include that map with the other information I'm supposed to
bring.
Nary: I guess I'll -- the other harder question too is that on some of these from
what I'm gathering from what you're saying is as we've reviewed this and now
you folks have looked back at the agreement. We've looked at the agreement
we all sort of agree there's about 120,000 dollars now to be credited back
towards these purchases we've already authorized paying. I guess how do we
avoid this in the future. It appears to me that the only reason we're even having
this conversation is because we brought it up at our joint meeting. I guess I'm a
little curious as to how did you inadvertently bill us 120,000 dollars that you
shouldn't have and how did we agree to pay it when we shouldn't have?
Mills: And the best way I think I could answer that question is that the people
who were putting together those billings were only given the limited - they were
given a map that said here is the boundary of this project per the agreement. It
took in every parcel that was going to be bought so they really didn't they didn't
break that information out. When it came to the pond size, or the pond itself
obviously no one ventured the information that this pond is going to be used for
two different projects not only for the Locust Grove project and that the majority is
actually on a different project. How can we prevent that in the future? The only
parcels left to buy at this point are definitely within the limits of the agreement.
They are north of the overpass area. I don't see this same situation cropping up
on this agreement again. The ones in question are the ones at the intersection of
Overland.
Nary: So you could get us another map of the north side that would have what
particularly we paid for this because you've given us basically the same kind of
map on the south side of these very large parcels of which we're only paying for
10 percent of it.
Mills: A strip along there.
Nary: Yes, a strip of that piece so you will have something else that you could
provide showing exactly what's being billed for?
Mills: Absolutely.
De Weerd: You can in that summary Bruce if you can show us what has been
purchased and what still remains to be purchased. We pretty much have that but
if you can put that in your summary that would be helpful. Mr. Nary I think this
Meridian City Pre-Councillvleeting
August5,2003
Page 6 of 12
was also raised because Gary got the bill for it and he raised some questions. I
guess in the checks and balances that we do have set up I feel comfortable that
some of this won't slip through. Now that we've caught it, we can make sure that
we have set policies or process to go through to make sure it doesn't happen
again. We know that Gary's being very thorough of his evaluation of what we're
paying for. I appreciate that Gary.
Smith: Thank you. Madam President and Council Members also Bruce did
furnish me two weeks ago I think it was a set of right of way plans for Locust
Grove from Bentley north to Franklin. Those right of way plans have the parcels
shown on them with names, dimensions so it will be easy for me to check the
invoices against those right of way plans. My biggest concern was with this
intersection business because I didn't have any real good plans of what the
invoices did include which is what Bruce has now furnished to you. Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you Bruce. I appreciate you reporting back to us on that.
Mills: Sure. Was there a question on a detention pond as well that I had heard?
Bird: When we go over these - we've been billed twice for Lot 3. We've been
billed the Bentley to Franklin Lot 3. Maybe it's a different lot. We've been billed
up on Item Number 2 for Lot 3.
Mills: I'll check I think it is a duplicate number but that it's still two separate
parcels.
Bird: Somebody said 120 I think it's more like 190.
De Weerd: Okay. You can get that back to the City Clerk's Office and he can
get that to us. Thank you Bruce.
Mills: Madam President was there a question also, I had heard on the detention
pond on the northeast corner of Meridian and Overland.
De Weerd: Oh just Cherie and I met with Katy last week and noticed that we
have a detention pond there at Overland and Meridian / Kuna Road. It's in our
entry corridor and I had just asked her what was the landscape I mean what were
the plans for that area. She said that she would bring the question back.
Mills: I've got some information if you would like that right now.
De Weerd: That would be great.
Mills: I'll be brief.
De Weerd: Council do you mind?
Meridian City Pre-CouncillVleeting
August5,2003
Page 7 of 12
Nary: No.
Mills: Just quickly ACHD when we landscape our ponds if you will normally
they're pretty much just hydro seeding getting some ground cover established on
them. Any other landscaping requirements that some of the agencies or the
private parties would like typically they pay for those and then they maintain them
through an agreement with us. That particular pond when we're done with our
rough grading it's going to get just hydro seeded so it it will get some grass
growing on it. It's going to - when we do that intersection, in the future they're
going to expand that pond so we didn't want to put a lot of effort into doing any
type of landscaping at this time no matter what until we came back and
expanded the pond for the intersection. If it's something that Meridian would like
to see landscaped in the future we could work towards some agreement whether
or not we wound up paying for that landscaping or selves up front but certainly
the long term maintenance we would ask the city or some other party to take
over. It's not something we would do.
De Weerd: Well I think that's definitely something that we have to discuss.
Maybe that's an item of discussion for the next joint meeting. That is our entry
corridor and your ponds have traditionally not been very esthetically pleasing. Of
course, when I saw it there and I didn't know that there was plan to be there that
was very concerning to us. We also look at the park and ride. The park and ride
didn't follow our ordinance either. Those are designated corridors and so I'm
somewhat surprised that there aren't any more extensive plans for putting a pond
in such a highly visible area. Yes, it is a real concern for us and that is
something that I guess we need to take up with the Commission. That is the
entry into Meridian and we can't look at the traditional ACHD pond at that kind of
an entryway.
Mills: Okay.
De Weerd: Any other comments from -
McCandless: No I agree.
De Weerd: I do appreciate you getting back to us but I don't know what they
were thinking to put that there if they didn't intend to live up with our ordinance.
We do have more extensive ordinances in entryway areas.
Mills: And I'm not aware of those. Perhaps I can talk to Anna later about that.
Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you. Gary.
Smith: Madam President if I could bounce back to the first subject on our

Item 4.
Discussion of Revocation of Conditional Use Permit for
Meridian Automotive - Anna Powell:
De Weerd: Item Number 4 discussion of the revocation of Conditional Use
Permit for Meridian Automotive.
Powell: Madam President Members of the Council we're just here tonight to
make sure that we're proceeding with your authority. The Conditional Use Permit
expired due to the lack of compliance with conditions of approval that were
granted. That happened in about late April just about I think two days after I got
on the job. I believe that Dave McKinnon forwarded a memorandum to the
Mayor that was probably circulated to you. We're just now getting back saying
we assume that you do indeed want us to begin revocation of the Conditional
Use Permit. There has been some discussion with the applicant's representative
regarding perhaps coming in for another Conditional Use Permit so we just
wanted to verify with you that we would go ahead and revoke the existing
approval for the CU.
Nichols: Madam President.
De Weerd: Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Anna in order to revoke a permit there has to be a hearing. The Council
needs to - it needs to be presented to the Council in hearing format, notice of
hearing given to the permit applicant. If it's staff recommendation that the permit
be revoked then that process needs to begin so that this Council can vote up or
down on whether to revoke it. I don't know that it's the province of the Council to
tell you whether you to go forward with that or not it's really an administrative
level decision whether you bring it forward to the Council. Then they make the
decision at a hearing level. They can't pre-judge whether it should be revoked or
not.
Meridian City Pre-Councillvieeting

Page 9 of 12
Powell: I knew it was a hearing and I wasn't looking for a vote today. Perhaps
this is just a question to Council then. Since the Conditional Use Permit that was
a condition of approval as assigned by the City Council says to begin to revoke
the approval then I should take that as direction to begin that on behalf of the
city.
Nichols: Madam President Members of the Council. I think that's the
administrative decision whether to proceed with - whether staff believes those
conditions have been met if they do not believe they have been met and
therefore the issue should come before the Council as to whether to revoke that
permit or not
Powell: Okay. I'm sorry for the confusion Madam President. I've never done
this before.
De Weerd: I thank you. Council it is 25 after 6:00. We have - Councilman Nary
had brought up that maybe we can clean up some old business in regards to our
budget process. If you would all be in agreement to that, we can have some
discussions on that process.
Nary: Madam President.
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: They may not have heard me earlier. All I was - when you had asked if
there were any other issues we had had a very brief discussion at the budget
hearings about some policy questions that have arisen occasionally on some
spending issues. Departmental issues as well as sometimes Council issues
regarding very minor things meals, I think flowers were one of the discussions at
one point from departments. I didn't know if there was some consensus from the
Council here if you wanted to have that discussion. You had also raised earlier I
think at the budget hearing that was your I guess desire to at least discuss the
issue regarding I think the Council President pay. I don't remember if it was
Council pay, in general I can't recall. You had mentioned earlier that you felt that
the time - also I think you had mentioned very clearly this wouldn't benefit you
you wouldn't be the Council President next year anyway. That the Council might
want to have a discussion about whether or not whoever serves in the Council
President's position that there should be some additional compensation for the
time that it takes to carry out that responsibility. Again, I didn't know if anybody
wants to have that conversation or not but I just thought since we had time if we
wanted to that would be fine. Was that all that was talked about in regards to the
budget I don't remember if there was something else in regards to some
expenses?
De Weerd: I think those are the issues that were raised that had not been
discussed. I think the flowers and the in town meals were kind of reminisce of
Meridian City Pre-Council rvleeting
August 5, 2003
Page10of12
when we were doing the travel policy and some of the other purchasing type of
policies. Is there any discussion on that?
Nary: Madam President I guess what I would I guess put out for the discussion
point I don't have a problem in trying to formulate with the Finance Department or
something. Something clarifying within the budget within the policies as to things
like you know those types of (inaudible) expenses that come along for the
department as well as the Councilor the Mayor especially in town meals and the
like. I think the discussion came up once originally the Mayor isn't here tonight
but about the Chamber or some of the other types of meals that come along that
the Mayor attends or the Council Members attend for varieties of different things
or whether or not they're business related expenses. I think in the past we've
generally charged them as business expenses. I don't know that there's a clear
policy to that so I don't know if we want to at least invite that discussion with
Stacy either at a Pre-Council Meeting or if you want to take that yourself and
have that discussion with her. I don't have an objection to it unless anyone else
does for you to have that conversation with her to see if we need to clarify some
of those things, so when they get done that we aren't always asking the same
question.
De Weerd: During the travel policy that issue did come up. If you would like me
to talk to her as a Council President, I certainly can. Either that or our
department liaison can do that. I don't know Mr. Bird what are your thoughts?
Bird: What are my thoughts? I think everybody knows where I stand on stuff like
the Chamber and stuff. I think that that isn't a city function that the city should be
paying for their lunches. I think you go over there as an individual on that but I
think we need to have policies like the flowers and stuff. I'd much rather send a
20 dollar flower then pay for all four of our dinners at the Chamber. I will be glad
to talk to Stacy and see if we can get a policy. I don't think we have policies. If
you don't have policy then what do you do? That's our biggest problem. I think
this is what's going to - definitely shows up. Not that anything has ever been
abused in this city. I never would say that but I just feel that if I go to the
Chamber that's my prerogative to go and I will pay. If it's a policy for the other
then, I have no problem with that either if they pay for the others. If it's a policy
but I don't think we have a policy and I think, that's where we need to get some
policies going. I'll talk to Stacy about it.
De Weerd: Thank you Mr. Bird. I know that what the City Clerk has shared with
me in regards to the flowers I think a policy has been made that all of those are
done through the Clerk's Office so that there's some kind of controls over not
having six sent out but just one that's sent out purchased by the city. If particular
individual departments would like to do that, they can pool money and do it from
their personal departments. I think that was worked out in a Department Head
Meeting and it sounds like an extremely fair policy. It probably does help to have
one person overseeing that so that it doesn't get too fractions. As far as the
meals and Keith if you could work with Stacy on that. I know as far as Council
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
August5,2003
Page 11 of12
goes we all have an expense amount that we can choose to spend that in any
way you wish. I think too, the policy needs to include our city employees
because that question was raised. Maybe Stacy can take it to the Department
Head Meeting where they can discuss that as a team and can bring something
back in regards to the city employee side of it. If you could take the lead on that.
Bird: I'll take that today or I'll try to do it sometime tomorrow.
Item 5.

De Weerd: Okay I was hoping maybe we could go into Executive Session and
that would be in regards to 67-2345(c). I would entertain a motion to go into

Sharon,
The attached file is from a Memorandum of Agreement saying that this City will pay $1,500 toward some new
aerial photos. The money will come from the P&Z budget.
I'm not sure whom to ask, but I need someone to review the signature lines to make sure I have them right. Does
it need to go back to the attorney? Also, what do I need to get this signed? Does it need to go to the Mayor at a

Fundamental problem with the MOA is it does not state that the $1500 is the maximum the City will have to pay.
It uses the $1500 to determine the proportionate share, and does not put a cap on the amount to be paid. I
suggest the following sentence be added to the end of paragraph 6: "In any event, the amount to be paid by the
undersigned entity shall not exceed the amount pledged by that entity as disclosed in paragraph Five above."
Change the signature lines to Mayor with clerk attest and it should be ready to go to Council for approval.
Thanks

It uses the $1500 to determine the proportionate share, and does not put a cap on the amount to be paid. I
suggest the following sentence be added to the end of paragraph 6: "In any event, the amount to be paid by the
undersigned entity shall not exceed the amount pledged by that entity as disclosed in paragraph Five above."
Change the signature lines to Mayor with clerk attest and it should be ready to go to Council for approval.
Thanks

color, leaf-off, orthorectified digital imagery. To address this need, USGS has offered funding in the
amount of $45,000 for the purpose of creating a set of updated orthophotos; and
WHEREAS, the Parties have determined that a comprehensive set of orthophotos is of mutual benefit
to their respective programs; and
WHEREAS, the Community Planning Association coordinated the 2000 orthophotos on behalf of its
Ada County members and has found a comprehensive set of orthophotos to benefit to its work in
transportation, water, floodplain and other planning;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the Parties agree to the following:
1. CaMP ASS agrees to obtain the deliverables from 3Di Technologies, Inc. The deliverables include:
a. Spring 2003 orthophotos of Ada County taken prior to leaf-out of trees for the Area covered
in Exhibit A. Only digital imagery will be provided as part of this agreement.
b. Said photos to be compatible with the orthophotos taken during Spring 2000 and meeting
the technical specifications listed in Exhibit B.

Sharon: It has been brought to our attention that Havasu Creek Subdivision was
recently recorded with an incorrect street name, liE. Trinity Springs Street". The
developer wishes to change the street name to liE. Grand Canyon street" and
before the County Engineer will accept this change he requests that our City
Council approve of the change. The proposed street name change has been
submitted to and approved by the Ada County Street Name Committee, approval
attached.
In that regard, please place this request on the Consent Agenda for the next
regularly scheduled Council meeting.

Brad,
As we discussed on the phone, Ada County (John Priester) is requiring the City to
request any street name change in order to append a ~rded plat with an error in
the street name. The plat was incorrectfy recorded with E. Trinity Springs Street and
should have been recorded with E. Grand Canyon~. Will you please send John
Priester a letter requesting the street name to be appended on the recorded plat.
I have attached the form that John Priester uses to appen<.t the recorded plat along
with the street name evaluation sheet approving the use of E. Grand Canyon Street
If you require additional information please call me at 344-9700.
Sincerely, ~
Steve Arnold

RE: Havasu Creek Street name problem
Sharon,
It was Havasu No.1, the street name was E. Trinity Springs Street that was recorded in
error. It should have been E. Grand Canyon Street.
Thanks for the help,

Steve,
Which phase of Havasu is that? Thought I would pull the file and be
prepared. Still haven't seen anything from Public Works, and if it comes
interoffice I may not get it in time for tonight......

Re: Havasu Creek Subdivision
Sharon: It has been brought to our attention that Havasu Creek Subdivision was
recently recorded with an incorrect street name, HE. Trinity Springs Street". The
developer wishes to change the street name to liE. Grand Canyon Streetlt and
before the County Engineer will accept this change he requests that our City
Council approve of the change. The proposed street name change has been
submitted to and approved by the Ada County Street Name Committee, approval
attached.
In that regard, please place this request on the Consent Agenda for the next
regularly scheduled Council meeting.
TI and if you have any quesTIons call me or Barbara Shiffer at this office.

Re:
Castlebrook Subdivision No.1 Phase II
· Request for Final Plat Approval of Sixty-Five (65) Building Lots and Twelve
(12) Other Lots on 24.21 Acres in an R-4 Zone, by Centennial Development,
LLC (File No. FP-03-044).
We have reviewed the above referenced submittals and offer the following comments, as
conditions of approval. These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly
modified or deleted by motion of the Meridian City Council:
APPLICATION SUMMARY
The applicant, Centennial Development, LLC, has requested final plat approval for
Castlebrook Subdivision No.1, phase II, consisting of sixty-five (65) building lots and twelve
(12) other lots on 24.21 acres of land located on the east side of Black Cat Road, approximately
12 mile south of Cherry Lane, directly south of Coral Creek Subdivision.
The minimum building lot size within the R-4 zone is 8,000 square feet with a minimum house
size of 1,400 s.f. The "other" lots within the subdivision consist of twelve (12) common
landscape/drainage lots. Total acreage of open space within the subdivision is approximately
2.95 acres,
A modification has been made to the final plat from the approved preliminary plat relocating the
sewer easement/pathway from between Lots 7 & 8 to between Lots 11 & 13, Block 3. The
approved preliminary plat showed one pedestrian access to Black Cat Road. Since phase I was
approved at final plat level with a pedestrian access, at build-out the subdivision would comply
with the preliminary plat, even though the pedestrian access to the south is in a different location.
The Public Works Department requested a lift station site at the north-west comer of phase I
(Lots 5 & 6, Block 1) of the subdivision with a 20' wide sewer easement in Lot 4. As a result, the
remaining lots along N. Glamorgan Avenue barely meet the minimum frontage requirements,
leaving no additional room for a sewer easement/pathway as originally approved in the
EXHIBIT "N' 1 OF 5
PlalUling & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council
Hearing Date: August 19,2003

fee that is assessed and due prior to issuance of any building permit(s) on the site, The
fee will be based on the impact fee ordinance in effect at that time. In addition to the
standard impact fee, this development lies within an extraordinary impact fee area.
Therefore, this property should pay an overlay fee to the District in the amount of $43 .19
per trip to reimburse the costs of construction and right-of-way costs for the new road
from the intersection of Eagle Road and St. Luke's driveway to the intersection of Magic
View Drive and Allen Street as the proportionate share of this property on a per trip basis.
3. Since the original report was prepared for this site, ACHD's standard local/commercial
right-of-way dimensions have changed. Therefore, the applicant has two options
regarding Allen Street and Freeway Drive right-of-way (Site Specific Condition # 1). In
accordance with current District policy, the applicant may either dedicate 29-feet of right-
of-way or 27-feet of right-of-way.
4. With the original submittal, the applicant was proposing three driveways into the site
(Site Specific Condition #8). The modified site plan shows one driveway on Allen Street,
located approximately 30-feet south of the north property line and in alignment with an
existing driveway on the east side of Allen Street, and one driveway on Freeway Drive
located near the west property line. These modified driveway locations meet District
policy and should be approved,
5. The previous conditions and requirements approved with MPFPO 1-010, MCUPO 1-044,
Hampton Inn Subdivision, still apply to MM103-00 1.
Special Recommendations to the City of Meridian:
1. The applicant shall provide the District with a copy ofa recorded access easement among the
parcels for use of the driveways for access to the public streets prior to approval.
The following Site Specific Requirements and Standard Requirements must be met or
provided for prior to ACHD approval of the final plat:
Site Specific Requirements:
1. Dedicate 29-feet ofright~of-way from the centerline of Allen Street abutting the parcel by
means of recordation of a final subdivision plat or execution of a warranty deed prior to
issuance of a building permit (or other required permits), whichever occurs first. Allow up to
30 business days to process the right-of-way dedication after receipt of all requested material.
The owner will not be compensated for this additional right-of~way because Allen Street is a
local commercial street and is to be brought to adopted standards by the developers of
abutting propeliies.
