Re: Revised response to Request to Prepare Historic Preservation Plan (HPP) Update
Dear Cassandra:
Please find attached our revised response to your email of August 14, 2024. Based on your clarifications,
received by email on October 31, we have added more details to our original submittal. Specifically, we
have included a draft outline for the plan based closely on the HPP outline in Section 6 of your Request
for Proposal. Furthermore, we have integrated the revised list of required activities into the task
description portion of our proposal. We have also added a new employee, as our Planning Technician is
moving out of state and we recently welcomed her replacement, Alex Jones formerly from the City of
Caldwell planning department.
We are eager to work collaboratively with you, the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC),
and the City's long range planning team,to update the HPP as outlined in your Scope of Services. We are
committed to providing the highest quality of service and exceeding your expectations for an updated
Preservation Plan. If you require any additional clarification or information, do not hesitate to contact me
directly.
Thank you for considering J-U-B. I look forward to continuing our work with you and the HPC to preserve
Meridian's history.
Sincerely,
J-U-B ENGINEERS, Inc.

City of Meridian since the mid-1970s, including planning and designing infrastructure that has supported
the growth of your city. At present, our engineers are supporting downtown utility revitalization efforts

OUR PROPOSED APPROACH
The City of Meridian's current Historic Preservation Plan (HPP) was prepared in 2014 and will form the
basis of this new plan. The fundamental elements of the existing plan (regulations, programs and
community history) will be largely unchanged. The proposed HPP process will seek to reflect the current
needs and concerns of Meridian residents and focus on improving the operations of the Historic
Preservation Commission (HPC) including their role with City departments, boards, councils and
committees,as well as establishing a set of strategies for future projects and programs.The City's Arts and
Culture Coordinator will be the primary point of contact, as she is the city staff liaison to the HPC. Close
coordination with the Idaho State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) is also anticipated.
The HPP will be comprised of approximately 5 chapters including a comprehensive array of information.
Table A- Draft Historic Preservation Plan Outline is based on an initial draft prepared by the Meridian
HPC. This outline will be refined throughout the planning process to reflect the interests of the HPC and
the public. In the process of writing and adopting the HPP,we will address the full range of current issues
surrounding historic resources within the city limits. To adequately do this, we will actively engage the
HPC in an intensive planning session followed conversations with the public regarding historic
preservation in Meridian. One public survey and three public outreach events are anticipated, to be
prepared in collaboration with the HPC and staff.
For this project, Sheri Freemuth,AICP, will be the Project Manager. Instrumental in starting Ada County's
Historic Preservation Council and providing support on preservation projects throughout Idaho, Sheri
prepared the award-winning City of Nampa Historic Preservation Plan (2020)and the Washington County
Historic Preservation Plan (2023). Earlier in 2024,J-U-B prepared a report for the Meridian HPC regarding
a potential landmark program. More information on our past experience, including references may be
found at the end of this proposal.

J-U-B proposes a planning process comprised of the following tasks to occur within a ten-month time
period:
1. Project Initiation and Administration
December 2024 —September 2025
Throughout the life of the project, J-U-B will provide monthly updates and invoices to the City.
Four virtual team meetings to include Idaho SHPO representatives are anticipated throughout the life of
the project (anticipated to occur once every two months). J-U-B will prepare agendas and notes and
distribute to the team. The City will identify key participants for these team meetings.
2. Historic Resource and Preservation Program Evaluation
December 2024 —February 2025
This taskwill involve engaging the public,evaluating current conditions,and identifying issues and concerns
related to historic preservation activities in Meridian.J-U-B will evaluate existing information to be provided
by the City. This will include review of the City of Meridian's current comprehensive plan, municipal code,
zoning regulations, building code, ordinances, design review guidelines and standards, policies, and
programs regarding historic preservation. As requested by the HPC, this process will integrate
recommendation for two geographic areas identified as potentially eligible for the National Register of
Historic Places (NRHP), as well as the landmarking program. These reports will be referenced and
documented, with recommendations on next steps.
This task will include a kickoff meeting with the HPC the principal focus being a Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities, Threats (SWOT) analysis, led by J-U-B. We anticipate that the HPC will coordinate directly
with the Idaho SHPO to produce maps and a list of cultural resources, including any known properties on
that are listed on the NRHP or are eligible for listing.
Task 2 will also include the preparation of a website (to connect to the City's webpage) that describes the
HPP process and informs the public of the process throughout the life of the project. Following the SWOT
analysis and brainstorming session with the HPC, a survey and public outreach event are also anticipated,
to ascertain interest in historic preservation, establish issues and concerns, and collect feedback on future
projects or opportunities. The City will provide logistical support for these endeavors, including any
displays or maps.
3. HPP Goals, Objectives and Strategy Setting
March —June 2025
This task will focus on the development of goals and objectives derived from the community
conversations in Task 2. Once established, strategies to achieve objectives will be identified; these may
include proposed surveys, additional studies, grant applications, and potential partnerships. The HPC has
expressed particular interest in the following:

J GROUP INC.
J,U,B ENGINEERS,INC. .---a rnM LY or ccw.AN[5
• Local landmarking or demolition delay program.
• National Register district designations
• Preservation incentives, tax, grant, or policy programs.
• Resource and reference list that provides more information on tax incentives,grant programs,and
other financial incentives available to maintain and rehabilitate historic structures.
During this task, we will host a public outreach event with the HPC and discuss the results of Task 2 and
potential goals and objectives related to historic preservation and potential strategies. Goals, Objectives,
and Strategies will also be posted to the project's webpage to allow for more public feedback. The City
will provide logistical support for these endeavors, including any displays or maps.
4. Draft HPP and Adopt
July—September 2025
This phase will conclude the project with the preparation of a Preliminary Draft (word document) for
review by the HPC.
Edits from the HPC will be used to create a Draft HPP document to be shared at a Public Outreach Event.
The City will prepare any necessary maps or illustrations, and provide photos and appendices as needed.
An additional review period for comments by the Idaho SHPO will occur during this Task and J-U-B will
prepare a final document to address any of their comments. The City will provide final formatting and
process the document through HPC and City Council hearings.
