So, Council, we are going to be reading a proclamation tonight for an organization that I think we all are very familiar with. Make-A-Wish. So, with that I will read the proclamation and turn it over for any comments that you all have. Whereas on April 29th, 1980, Department of Public Safety officers and members of the community of Meridian City Council April 16,2024 Page 4 of 9 Phoenix, Arizona, came together to grant the wish of Chris Greicius, a seven year old boy batting leukemia, who wished to be a police officer and whereas Chris' wish inspired six of the people involved to form a foundation that would grant life changing wishes for other children with critical illnesses. The organization known as Make-A- Wish has since granted more than 520,000 wishes worldwide, operating in every community in the U.S. and in nearly 50 countries worldwide and whereas Make-A-Wish Idaho was founded in 1986 and has granted more than 2,000 wishes that deliver hope and joy back into the lives of children with critical illness in Idaho and whereas research has shown that wishes can improve a child's quality of life and produce better health outcomes. When a wish is granted a child replaces fear with confidence, anxiety with hope and sadness with joy and whereas the City of Meridian is celebrating World Wish Month in recognition of the anniversary of Chris Greicius' wish that inspired the founding of Make-A-Wish and subsequently Make-A-Wish Idaho and the Global Wish granting movement. Therefore, I, Mayor Robert E. Simison, do hereby proclaim April 2024 as World Wish Month in the City of Meridian and encourage all citizens to celebrate World Wish Month and applaud the good work that Make-A-Wish Idaho has provided and will continue to provide for our community. Dated the 16th day of April 2024. Congratulations for all -- for what you do in our community. We appreciate it very much. Peterson: Thank you much. So, Make-A-Wish has been around for almost 40 years and we operate in every city in Idaho, including Meridian and right now we have got about 140 kids that are currently waiting for wishes from all over the state and we are just proud to just do that, to provide hope for kids facing critical challenges and so thank you for allowing us to do that and thank you for your help and support and making that happen for us.

Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council. So, this matter had been previously continued to tonight for some additional information. Subsequent to that prior Meridian City Council April 16,2024 Page 5 of 9 hearing we received notice from the Kuna School District that because a portion of this property is in their district they had not received notice as they were required to by law. So, we did request that we, then, renotice the project completely. I did notify their attorney. We have notified them as -- as they requested to the specific people with the school district and so we had reached out to the applicant to let them know we would require this re-notice to be compliant with the noticing requirements in the Idaho Code and so they should be aware of that tonight and that's why we requested the date of May 7th. The Clerk's office did reach out to all of the contacts that we had with a-mails and anyone that had reached out previously on this to advise them as well to -- that we were continuing this matter tonight for a noticing issue. Simison: Thank you. Council, any questions for Mr. Nary? Others? Mr. Clerk, do we have anyone that signed up on this item? Johnson: Mr. Mayor, we did not. We did not activate a sign up for it in anticipation of this. Simison: Is there anybody here that showed up specifically for this item tonight? We do have someone who raised their hand that they signed up for this -- oh. Sorry. I was -- okay. No worries. So, with that, Council? Cavener: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: Really apologies to the applicant. Obviously this is an important process, but appreciate being here nevertheless. In light of the logistical noticing challenge with the Kuna School District, I move that we continue Item No. 12, public hearing for Reveille Ridge, H-2023-0050, to May 7th. Overton: Second. Simison: Have a motion and a second to continue the public hearing. Is there any discussion? Cavener: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: Mr. Nary, if I remember we continued that with just with public testimony about the -- the silos. Is that -- did I remember that correctly or is this a different application? Nary: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, Council Member Cavener, no, this is the one regarding the schools. The Kuna School District specifically was one of the concerns that was raised, but also West Ada and we were seeking more additional information Meridian City Council April 16,2024 Page 6 of 9 from West Ada, which the -- when I spoke with the planning department this morning we have received some additional information. So, we will be ready to go forward on May 7th. Cavener: Okay. Thank you. Simison: Any further questions? If not, all in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed nay?
