Economic Development Update by Cheryl Brown: Brown: I am going to move rather quickly through this. So, if you have any questions, just feel free to stop me_ I will have all this other information that I am going to talk about that is not necessarily in your packet and will have that . available to you to look at it. I kind of wanted to go over this first. This is something that I have put together when I go out on site location visits with companies that are looking at the Meridian area. This is not in your packet. This is just a real brief overview. We have got the Meridian Built for Business, Designed for Living. We have got our population circumference map showing we Meridian City Pre~Council Meeting May 16, 2006 Page 2 of 14 can pull our force better than any other city in the Valley. A letter from me and how I will help the businesses and be their one point of contact. These are things that I am asked frequently from out of state businesses that are looking at coming into the area. Where are all the higher learning education institutions? Where are all the private airplane hangers along with the Boise Airport, but they want to know more private? Meridian compared to other cities permitting is a very quick process. We have boundary in here where I have determined where the medical facilities are within our boundary map that we are looking at. Then I have charted them who they are, where they are and what they are. We graphed them compared to what business parks they are in, where they are according to our area of impact and Pine Bridge - Pine Bridge being the new development that will be coming on within the next couple of weeks. This is 170 acres. It fronts on Eagle. It fronts on Locust Grove, Fairview and Pine. Right now they are about 2 million square foot. It is going to be about a $500 million project. I have some conceptual drawings and what they are looking at. It is going to be a very campus style, very pedestrian friendly - Wardle: Cheryl, I (inaudible) that Mr. Nary can chime in - that is not a budget that we have seen yet, is it? Brown: No. Nary: I don't think an application has even been filed yet, has it? Brown: No, it hasn't. Then a letter from Commerce and Labor specifically stating and welcoming them to Meridian and how they will help businesses in Meridian. I also included the ad, which is the next part that you have in the Idaho magazine. If you go to the pink tab this is the ad that I have told you before that I wanted to place in the United Express magazine, going out - you can see the little map here and it is going all over the country on - it will reach 1.5 million passengers. Bird: Cheryl is this the same one that you put it the plane? Brown: Yes. Bird: -- oh, excuse me Mr. President. Brown: The one that I talked to you about at the MDC meeting. I have here the graph which is the residential verses commercial - De Weerd: Mr. President, I am sorry Cheryl - this is the advertisement that Cheryl came and spoke to you, the Council, earlier about and that you gave her the go ahead to do this. Okay, sorry Cheryl. Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting May 16, 2006 Page 3 of 14 Brown: This is the number of permits comparison from quarter 2 to quarter 3 and we took it back from January of "03 all the way to '06. So, you have got a few years of comparison in there. The next page - that is the total permit numbers. The next one is the value comparison and again that is from January '03 up to April of '06. Then the last page on that is the volume comparison comparing the residential to the commercial growth and charting how that has been since January '03. The next paper in there that I have been working on is the largest employers in Meridian, an update on the employee counts and they are climbing at every one of them. We have been adding and adding and adding to. Bird: Mr. President. Wardle: Mr. Bird. Bird: Cheryl, the Meridian School District is that all of their employees or just the ones within the City of Meridian? Brown: Full time employees. Bird: For the whole district? Brown: Yes and these are full time numbers. The next map - you are going to have two maps in there. This is showing our urban renewal district. The highlighted yellow is a twelve-block area that we are looking at proposing for a wireless mesh. This is just a close up of that area. The RFP went out last Thursday. I have been talking to MDC about this. We have had a committee research this, check on how this is going to affect our economy for downtown and the viability of it and all our indications are coming out wonderful for this. Wardle: Cheryl, just to clarify that was an RFP that was released by MDC and will be at the discretion and certainly, I believe any costs associating is going to be held by MDC solely? Brown: Correct. You don't have this in your packet, but I have been working on updating - these are the major business parks in Meridian with what their use is, their investment into the city, the number of employees they have, the total square footage that they have and at what completion are they at full build out. So, I tried to get this ready for you this time, but I will have it for the next time for you just to give us an idea of these business campuses and how full are they? I also have current tenant lists for all of them as well. I have here the economic development implementation plan and I would like you to take a look at this. This is what I am following. If you have any suggestions for me, any ideas or anything, please just let me know. I am focusing on downtown Meridian and have been meeting with potential developers for downtown Meridian. I am working with MDC. I am working on the medical district very heavily and getting Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting May 16. 2006 Page 4 of 14 that laid out and that is going to be a huge project and that is going to be bridging our downtown. We are going to be having a marketing plan presented to us - I will find out tomorrow the date that they want to present this and this is going over the branding for Meridian, revitalization, (inaudible) is helping me put these packets together to give out to these site locating companies. Some other projects that I have been working on are site visits and trying to identify our medical users, who we can help bring to Meridian their vendors, their suppliers, people that they might feel a need to have some of their contacts close to them. I have been working with the Meridian Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Committee, the ABC Liquor Legislation Law this year and is carrying over again for next year. I have been working with MDC, a lot of the developers on the individual projects, educational institutions, Aspire On - the website for the Economic Development is done, we are just updating it now as we get current information and working with the wireless mesh for downtown. Now, I have updates from different developers. I don't know if you want me to go into this? Do I have time? Wardle: Council, maybe some highlights. Brown: These came straight from the developers, not my wording. Centre Point, Kohl's groundbreaking is the first week in May; Kohl's in planning to open their store in March of '07 and I have had a lot of people ask me about that one. Construction will begin on 25,000 square foot restaurant and retail building shortly after Kohl's project begins. (Inaudible) interested at Centre Point are very strong. There should be several substantial retailers at Centre Point that are not presently in Meridian or not in Boise or Idaho at all. They are targeting for Centre Point. Central Valley Corporate Park, their growth last quarter they added a multiple tenant building. They are at 80 percent completion. They had two new tenants this last quarter and two other tenants expand over there. Their employees, Bob was estimating at 15,000_ EI Dorado had three buildings under construction - about 50,000 square foot is planned now with more coming later on this year and that will total 140,000 square feet more, two of them being medical buildings, one will be a full service pharmacy. They are doing an office condominium building at 25,000 square feet at the south end of EI Dorado and Chicago Connection opened up out there and said this is the top highest grossing store in their entire chain and it has been since day one. Wardle: They don't deliver north of the freeway. Brown: Fairview Lakes grew by one building last quarter. They are at 25 percent completion. They had two other new tenants. Grandview Station, Sterling Bank is going in. Marriott, people were in town the week of April 9th and they will be submitting mid June for their permit completion to be '07 opening in early '07. Design multiple tenant retail building construction will start as soon as the final design and building permits are approved - Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting May 16, 2006 Page 5 of 14 (Tape turned over) Brown: -- they are guessing that they are going to be 100 percent leased before they even start construction. They have, according to Winston, one of the finest sit down restaurants in the United States is under contract and construction will start mid summer. For competitive reasons we can't release the name yet. He also has another big tenant that I can't talk about that is going out there as well. Taco Bell will be under construction mid summer. The Halet Cinemas area has one (inaudible) up. They are 33 percent completed. This is the English pub that is going out there. They have 45 employees out at the cinema. Meridian Marketplace is 92 percent completion. They had eight new tenants; Pine Bridge is like I said in the planning stages right now - 170 acres, about 2 million square feet and about a $500 million project. They have spent just $50 million on the ground. Silverstone Town Square - condo building and suites will be available for lease or purchase - construction is underway now. There are several other new - I have got their whole tenant list out there. They are 85 percent complete. They have 5,200 employees out there right now looking at close to 10,000 when they are completed. They have 168 acres, a little over 27 still remain in the design stages out there. Ustick Market Place this last quarter had two free standing buildings, 1 to 10,000 multi tenant buildings square feet. The percentage of that is at 70 percent They have had Bank of America go in. Telley's Coffee, Nextel, Costa (inaudible) restaurant, Quick Drop and Sizzler out there by Lowe's and they have an estimated 400 employees. Waltman Lane is still in the planning stages. Do you want me to keep going? Wardle: If you have five more minutes of good news, Cheryl, let's hear it. Brown: Well, just - with the (inaudible) suites going in it is a $4.9 million project, it is at 65,000 square feet, 124 room hotel - Country Inn Suites, which is in Porky Park is - Bird: What is that and where is it? Brown: Porky Park and it is at 355 E. Pine. This is another almost $5 million project, 54,000 square feet, 82 rooms. Courtyard Inn is almost another $5 million project, 64,600 square feet, 145 rooms. I could go on and on. Wardle: Actually, Cheryl if those are lists you could circulate via email, certainly those are great talking points as we are out speaking with citizens within the community that will help from my perspective. Council? Rountree: You have great information and you don't have to read it to me. Brown: Good. Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting May 16, 2006 Page 6 of 14 Wardle: Any questions for Cheryl, Council? De Weerd: Mr. President. Wardle: Madame Mayor. De Weerd: Can you throw some more numbers at us? Brown: How many more do you want? Wardle: Cheryl, thank you very much for the update and the great work and we will be in touch if we have any additional questions. Brown: Thank you. Wardle: All right that brings us to Item No.5 on our agenda Council. Bird: Mr. President I move we go into Executive Session as per Idaho State Code 67-2345 (1) (c). Rountree: Second. Wardle: Does that also include "f', Mr. Bird? Bird: I agree with "f', too. Wardle: It has been moved and seconded to adjourn into Idaho Executive Session for Idaho State Code 67-2345(1) (c) (f). Roll Call Vote: Bird, aye; Rountree. aye; Borton, aye; Wardle, aye. ALL AYES. MOTION CARRIED. Item 4. Communities in Conversation: Wardle: I would like to begin with our staff member Steve Siddoway. One of the things that we are going to do here is have a short presentation. We are looking for comment for COMPASS's Communities in Motion and Steve, I believe, the deadline for public comment is Friday, correct? Siddoway: Yes, it is. Thank you Mr. President, members of the Council and Mayor. Good to be with you this afternoon. I have been asked to come and give you a brief overview of the Communities in Motion process. Actually COMPASS has come up with a rather innovative method for public involvement with this. I Meridian City Pre~Council Meeting May 16, 2006 Page 7 of 14 do have to give them some kudos for that. They have come up with what they call a meeting in a bag and they distributed 200 of them across the Valley, so that definitely small groups of any kind, really, can meet. review the plan and provide comments in a way that may be more useful and better for discussion than a typical open house. They have done a lot of work. They have put together this short video that will play and then I will just kind of walk you through the executive summary, which matches the order of questions and the comment form and then I would encourage you that if any of you do have specific comments to please let me know and many of you have - I think many of you have met Matt Ellsworth. He is working with me at Planning and Zoning now. He did his thorough review of the full plan and gave that to me today and we will be going through that tomorrow and getting formal comments to COMPASS by Friday and if this body has any specific comments that you would like to ensure are incorporated I would be happy to take that forward. So, with that as a brief introduction, we will go ahead and play the video and then we will pick up from there. (Presentation of Video) Wardle: Great video, Steve. I think we had some local stars in that one. Siddoway: In the interest of time, I am going to skip the instructions, so let's let that do its thing. If we were to do (inaudible--). I will leave the video here if anyone would like to (inaudible). If we were to do a full meeting as opposed to a meeting in a bag, it would be a two plus hour venture and we have roughly 15 minutes. So, in the interest of time, we will skip that and I will just maybe throw some discussion topics out in the order they show up in both the comments form and the executive summary. As mentioned, this is the long range transportation plan for not just Ada County, but for five counties. There is heavy focus on the two county areas of Ada and Canyon, but it does include some of the principle they needed - transportation improvements in neighboring counties. It looks out to 2030, so that is the horizon year for this plan and the basis of the plan is we are - we have a lot of growth coming. We need to get prepared for it as much as we can. One of the main messages you will find from this whole document is that we frankly don't have enough money to do everything that we need to do to get ready for that growth. There is a real need to identify some additional funding sources in the end. To start off with the - (Inaudible discussion) Siddoway: One of the major bases for the (inaudible) plan is the population projections and the population they projected for 2030 is 825,000. That is based on a 2.2 percent growth rate over the next 25 years and frankly they are hearing from just about every city that they think that is low. I will get to what some of the implications are, if that indeed proves to be the case and is low. Our growth rate Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting May 16. 2006 Page 8 of 14 as a region for the last couple of years has been about 4.4 percent. If that growth rate were to continue constant over the next 25 years, we would be over 1.5 million by 2030 instead of at 825,000. Wardle: Steve, if I could interrupt. I know in the past we have discussed COMPASS's projections with it specifically in regard to Meridian and the growth rates. Do they feel that their number is an aggressive number or have they utilized it as a conservative? Siddoway: They know it is conservative, but it was based on actual projections and factors through John Church and just hearing the city saying that it was too low was - it was not a defensible reason to up the number. Tammy I don't know if you have more information on that? De Weerd: Mr. Chairman, Mr. President, I am sorry. Wardle: Madame Mayor. De Weerd: We did get an information out yesterday at the COMPASS Board meeting. Peggy was going to copy that and put it in your boxes. So, it shows a chart as some different calculations of how it could be determined and they are going to be hiring a demographer this year to start working on a better model. But, it ranged anywhere from 850,000 people over the period of this plan to 1.5 million. So, depending on how you calculate it. I do like I said, have that to be copied and given to you guys. Bird: Mr. President maybe I - what they did is they went back in history all the way back to the 70's and just kind of took the percentage. We went from 4.4 to 1.9, wasn't it the low one - which we hit in the late 70's or early 80's. Siddoway: Yeah, it may have even been lower than that. I can't remember. Bird: It was real low, but it was about the best calculations I have seen in years. I was real impressed with the calculations. Siddoway: They did take a long tran as opposed to - just the last couple of years in determining that growth rate. De Weerd: Yeah, and what is being used right now is 2.2 percent and nothing in the historical trans came even close to that. Wardle: I guess I could buy 825,000 if we are talking about sustainable rural growth, which is really what we have had, but if you add in what I would assume would be an urbanization and some redevelopment in densities, I think that Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting May 16, 2006 Page 9 of 14 pushes the number significantly beyond 2.2 percent. Is that something that is in the model, Steve, do you know? Siddoway: It does show urbanization. As we get into the - well, we won't get into to it too much right now, but if you look at the growth scenarios, the preferred scenario called Community Choices is what everything is based on and it shows in it many different types of development, lots of urbanization, new town centers, increased downtown areas and things like that, but the number of people accommodated in that scenario is 825,000. So, even with the 825,000 they are envisioning that number as an urbanized number. But, whether it is urbanized enough remains to be seen. Bird: Mr. President. Wardle: Mr. Bird. Bird: If I remember right and Mayor, Steve and Charlie were there too, but I like the way they come up with our numbers better. Phoenix just throws 100,000 a year out is how they estimate their growth. They don't do by percentage. Siddoway: Instead of on a percentage, they do it on a total number (inaudible). Bird: They say we are going to have 100,000 new people, which I am sure they are. Siddoway: Because even if you add the same number of people every year as your city (inaudible) grows that percentage increase I decreases over time. You know we have been adding 10,000 plus per year for the last several years, but the percent of that increase actually decrease even though the number increases because our original number grows each time. Wardle: Mr. Rountree did you have --? Rountree: Oh, I was just going to make a comment that the model is only as good as the assumptions that went into it. I think the assumptions were based on the public involvement and what the public felt they want. I am not going to endorse or necessarily say they are right or wrong, but it is just that. It is a crystal ball guess and two percent has historically been a long term rule of thumb for growth, somewhere between 1.5 and 2 percent so 2.2 is somewhat on the generous side. If you look at the last ten years it has been about 3.4 in the area and as Steve indicated it has been projected in some scenarios over four percent. So, if I were a betting man, I would bet that it is going to be more than 2.2. I would also bet that we aren't going to necessarily reflect the growth over the last six years and I don't think we are necessarily going to reflect as a raging Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting May 16, 2006 Page 10 of 14 - as the growth scenario that was picked. I think that if we continue to see what we see today, it is - Siddoway: It is one scenario to measure actuals against. Rountree: Yeah, it is a scenario to measure what actually happens and if in five years they are not close then we are going to have to readjust the thought. The bottom line, though, and Steve is right - what the plan says is there is not enough funding in the horizon to accommodate a fairly reasonable projection of growth, let alone what would happen at four or five or even six percent. Wardle: Just looking at the map, Steve, one of the questions that I can't assume would be the number that may have been utilized, but I would question that within this scenario what percentage of a current available land is expected to be urbanized in the sense that --? Rountree: He has got that. Wardle: Oh, you do? Rountree: Yeah, that is part of the plan_ Siddoway: Yeah, in fact there are three main points that I would really like to touch on before I run out of time. I can hit the amount of land in that. The first is the growth scenarios. The second is the transportation systems that are proposed and the third is the financial realities behind that. Many of you, I think, actually participated in a lot of the growth scenario workshops. When (inaudible) and Associates were in town and they had some very successful, frankly, workshops where we had maps of the region and they had the little stickers that represented different types of growth and you had to accommodate 825,000 people and all of the employment and things that go with it on the map. Those- there were many iterations of the growth scenarios. In the end it was boiled down to two that were carried forward. One is trend, so that we could see if what we are doing today continues forward unchanged and what the implications of that were and two is a hybrid of several that ended up being called community choices. Those two scenarios were taken forward. Now, I am not going to read it all to you, but in your packet there on the second page of the executive summary there is a box and it compares trend to community choices. You can see the first line is the difference in the acreage consumed. Trend consumes over 125,000 acres and community choices consume only 42,000 acres. How you are able to consume so much less land? By increasing the density. So, community choices has fewer single family homes, although it still has 55 percent as single family, so a majority of new housing types has single family, but certainly increases the other types of housing immensely from what we are seeing today. One of the differences to point out is the difference in the daily Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting May 16, 2006 Page 11 of 14 vehicle miles of travel. Trend has 20.7 million vehicle miles it could travel per day and community choices is 19.6. Now to look at them at just a first glance they look awfully close and you think well is it worth the changes? Their assertion is yes it is. Reducing the daily vehicle miles per traveled by over a million has some fairly significant impacts on the demands for the road system. So, we have the gross scenarios. The next challenge was to put some transportation systems on them. They started with trend. We came up with these capacity analysis maps of volume to capacity ratios and anything that was over, I think it was 40 percent over capacity is red on this map. When they ran it with what they called the 2009 network meaning just what was in the current five year work program, assuming those get built, but nothing else - what did the roads look like? There was a lot of red. Most roads were over capacity. More than 40 percent over capacity. We built a road system and the road system, with those improvements in it nearly wiped the red out and we call it to get the red out version of the transportation scenarios. We then went to community choices and started over from scratch and tried to model different things and to make a long story short, in the end the road system needed for community choices was frankly very similar to the trend. The main difference is being they didn't go quite as far out in the outlining areas because the trend consumes more acres out on the fringe and causes road demands out there, but in the core area and certainly through Meridian, which is getting in the heart of the Valley the demands were very similar because regardless they have got to go through. And you might say well what about transit; doesn't that decrease the demand for the roads, road improvements? The answer was not really because the busses would be sitting in the same traffic that the cars would be and you still do need the road improvements. That much became very clear. The transportation systems in the plan, I have broken down into transit and roadways. Transit has two primary components. It has the fixed guide way, which is either the light rail or some form of bus rapid transit or some of those other options, commuter rail. The second part of the transit piece is the fixed route bus services. Now, community choices - transit scenario represents a tenfold increase in the transit service up to date. Basically all Meridian arterial show up with fairly frequent bus service on them. It assumes some sort of fixed guide way along the rail line through downtown Meridian. Peak hour frequencies on the bus line are up to - or I should say down to 15 minutes intervals. It is a vast improvement over what they are today. In the trend scenario, the existing transit system basically remains unchanged. They figure if densities continue to build out at around three dwelling units per acre that it is really not going to support much additional future transit and so they just carried the existing system forward for the trend. We can talk about specific questions on roadways. There are proper complaints to consider specifically for Chinden, for McDermott, for Linder and nearly every Meridian road shows up in this plan so we could talk about everything at length, but those are some of the big ones that come to mind that I have been tracking. Chinden, Highway 20/26, it shows up in the plan with these little circles. What those little circles represent are future interchanges at the mile locations and they are Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting May 16, 2006 Page 12 of 14 talking about Chinden as an expressway and whether or not 20/26 would keep access at the half miles - like we are currently doing is very much a question right now. I did attend a large 20/26 public meeting last week. I did attend and sit in one of the small groups and I got to tell you the public sentiment for limiting access and making it into an expressway that provides an alternate route to the freeway was extremely high. I mean, I pushed what do you think about these half mile accesses at every point in that conversation and I was pretty well shot down by the people that were in the discussion group. Nonetheless, we are on the record as a city as not agreeing with the concept of removing those half mile accesses. That comment does show up in the plan and it just states that the actual access to 20/26 will be determined through the corridor study that is currently ongoing specifically for that roadway. Wardle: Thank you, Steve. I know you have got a timeline to meet today. So, I would like to thank you for taking your time to come and make this presentation to us. I encourage Council to certainly engage Steve in any additional questions they may have and I will take any additional comments for about five minutes and then we will wrap it up. Steve, thank you very much. I appreciate it. We have copies of the CD if you need them too. Siddoway: If you get me any comments that you would like to make sure are included, I will make sure they are included. So, thank you. Wardle: Council, one of the things that we can discuss, but we don't necessarily have the specifics to, but it would be funding. Item No.3 on Steve's agenda - is there any comment or question with regard to the materials that are provided? You are still here, Steve? If you still have got time. Siddoway: I can just make a quick comment. The total pot for the funding was at $350 million when they aggregated all the available funding sources. That left on the table about $629 million worth of road improvements unfunded and about $1.1 million worth of transit improvements unfunded. So, there certainly is a greater need. I might also just throw out there that because of the general feeling that, as Charlie pointed out that a lot of people are willing to be that the 2.2 may turn out low. They did an analysis of what happens if we go to 1.5 million people and build everything that is in the plan and even with that they saw I think it was like 70 percent increases in congestion, commute times from Caldwell to Micron going to two hours. Their models are really kicking out some scary things. What that said is that if we are on a faster growth track, we really need to find some new funding sources. They also did some very interesting calculations in the plan for how that deficit could be made up. They showed several options. None are specific proposals. They are just out there for discussion. One that kind of hit home was about 1.25 percent sales tax would cover every improvement in the plan, transit and roads. It is hard to put your hands around what $1.8 billion is unfunded. It is a big number, but what it turns Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting May 16, 2006 Page 13 of 14 out to is just under $200 per household per year would fund everything in the plan, both transit and roadways. Wardle: Was that sales tax number just a local option, tri-county or was it a statewide --? Siddoway: I think it was a two county. Wardle: Two county. Rountree: Mr. President, I think it included the boundaries of the TMA. Wardle: Scary scenarios. I think aren't we only one daily bad crash away from a two hour commute from Caldwell to Micron? Rountree: Yeah, that or a snowstorm. Wardle: All right, additional comments from the public? Would anyone like to comment? Certainly I encourage any citizens that would wish to do so, to either contact Steve at the Planning Department directly, COMPASS directly or certainly any of us directly. As elected officials we would be happy to pass those along until Friday. All right, Council. Thank you for taking the time to allow me to do that. We are going to move now to Item 3, which is Economic Development update by Cheryl Brown. Item 5. Executive Session per Idaho State Code 67-2345(1) (c) - (to conduct deliberations concerning labor negotiations or to acquire an interest in real property, which is not owned by a public agency) and (f) - (to consider and advise its legal representatives in pending litigation): EXECUTIVE SESSION: Wardle: I would accept a motion to come out of Executive Session.
