DEPARTMENT / COMMISSION REPORTS [Action Item] 12. Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Amendment in the amount of $5,000 to Authorize CPR Software Purchase Utilizing Light My Fire Donation Cavener: So, we will move to Department/Commission Reports. First up is Item 12, a fiscal 2025 budget amendment in the amount of 5,000 dollars. Our chief is here to present. Good afternoon, Chief Blume. Blume: Good evening, Council President Cavener and Members of Council. Yes, as you will see and in the past -- the packet indicates the information that was provided to you, we are seeking the transfer of Light My Fire funds to be utilized by the community risk reduction division. That request was approved by Light My Fire as being consistent with an acceptable practice for the utilization of those funds and specifically the CRAIG 1300 is a software suite. It stands for Community Risk Assessment Insight Generator and 1300 harkens back to the NFPA Standard 1300, which is -- which is related to how can -- how organizations reduce community's risk and this insight generator allows us to see in realtime the efficacy of our risk reduction initiatives. Are they working? Are they not working? Do we have an underserved area? Do we have one that is receiving more service than another area? So, we can kind of see in a mapped out fashion what we are doing and how efficient it is. Are we -- are we -- are we doing the right thing for the right people at the right time and are we doing enough of it or not enough of it. So, that's really the software platform. This is not intended to be an ongoing cost. The intent is is that we are going to utilize the data hub that CRAIG 1300 offers and we have -- we have been working department -- with the IT Department and they have agreed to help us try and generate and create a data hub dashboard that will be fine-tuned for the City of Meridian. So, that's -- that's the intent. Cavener: Thank you, chief. Any questions? Chief, I do have one question, because now I'm slightly confused. Your -- your presentation indicated no ongoing additional costs, but in the budget amendment it shows that it's 5,000 dollars a year ongoing. So, guess it either is or is not ongoing. So, help me understand why it's notated for ongoing in the budget amendment, but you are saying that it's -- Meridian City Council Work Session March 11,2025 Page 4 of 26 Blume: Fair question. As I understand it -- and in talking with my team we were looking at just purchasing it for one year and, then, utilizing that platform for up to two to three years while we are setting up our internal process. So, we are not looking at creating an ongoing purchase requirement for this. This would just be a one time for a one year to get this hub. Cavener: Council, I'm just going to notate -- I hope Mr. Miles is watching. I think that's probably a good conversation for us to -- at least to flag how we notate one-time software purchases, as opposed to software purchases that are intended to have an ongoing revenue expectation. So, if we could figure that piece moving forward we just -- we are saying one time, we don't want to necessarily have next year, then, that's part of the ongoing software expenses the city takes on. So, when a motion's in order maybe denoting that as part of the motion would be beneficial. So, thank you. Blume: Yes, sir. Cavener: No other questions? Little Roberts: Mr. President? Cavener: Council Member Little Roberts. Little Roberts: Mr. President and Chief, I don't know if this will tie in with an update regarding the lithium batteries, but I will ask that question and let you go from there. Blume: Well, Council Woman Little Roberts, that's a great question. Certainly nationally we are seeing the lithium ion battery problem increase in -- in frequency and severity when it -- when it's come to -- when it comes to the thermal runaway of those battery cells. Currently, aside from utilizing our infers and which will transition to nearest, our federal government reporting software of our -- of our calls that we go on, we are going to -- this is a -- a supplement to that. This would actually -- actually supplement that and allow us to identify, again, the frequency and occurrences of -- of lithium ion batteries and identify if, in fact, that that is the cause of, you know, an increase in fires in residential homes or -- or in apartments. So, that is just -- that's an excellent example and that's just one -- one example of -- of what we will be able to utilize with this -- this data terminal data -- data platform. Strader: Great. Thank you. Blume: Yes, ma'am. Strader: Council President Cavener? Cavener: Yes, Council Vice-President Strader. Meridian City Council Work Session March 11,2025 Page 5 of 26 Strader: Would it be okay if we hear from our CFO Todd Lavoie to clarify the nature of this budget amendment? Cavener: As he is up here I was hoping he would be able to provide some clarity. Good afternoon, Mr. Lavoie. Happy to hear your insight. Lavoie: Good afternoon. Thank you. So, I did verify with Jenny Fields that -- and with IT that the software that is being acquired is an ongoing expense per the IT Department. So, you are correct, you are buying it one time, but according to IT this is an ongoing expense that there will be expenses every single year from this point forward. You are buying a software package. So, that is the information we have. Again, we can get Dave to double double-check tomorrow, but everything we are aware of is it is a ongoing expense, sir. Strader: Council President Cavener? Cavener: Yes, please. Strader: Yeah. I think I would like to make a motion that we approve this on a one year basis and have the Fire Department report back on how it goes, because it's a new program and I think we should assess its efficacy at the end of one year and, then, take it from there. That's my two cents. Cavener: So, Council, my -- here is my -- Council Vice-President Strader, I understand. I think the request is this is a one-time purchase for one year. The only piece that I'm somewhat a little reluctant on is that if they purchase it March 11th of 2025 it would be up for renewal March 11th of 2026 outside of our budget hearing process, which means it would either require them to come back before us again to renew with a budget amendment or we would not continue the service until it is included as part of the fiscal year 2027 budget. So, Council and -- and -- and, chief, I'm -- I'm reluctant now to support the budget amendment this evening until we have some greater clarity about the long-term needs. If -- chief, if we are hearing you say we need this for one year and one year only, great, then I think we can move forward, but that's not reflected as what's written in the budget amendment. If we think and anticipate that this is an ongoing need that the department is going to need, I think that we -- that's also okay. That's just -- we want to make sure that we are taking the totality of the request into consideration before decision is made this evening. Blume: Councilman Cavener, I appreciate that and in talking with staff and in the memo that was -- that was provided to you -- or as part of the packet of information it says, you know, we -- we are asking for the program's cost for the 4,950, but in talking with staff and working with IT, the intent is to get it for the one year and in that time develop the -- the platform or hub working with IT to move away from this software for future and ongoing. Meridian City Council Work Session March 11,2025 Page 6 of 26 Cavener: Okay. As long as the Council's aware of what it is they are going to be asked to be voting on this evening, should that be with the motion. Strader: Council President Cavener? Cavener: Council Woman Strader. Strader: Yeah. I just want to make sure. So, from your perspective -- so, if we approve this this evening it's going to be approved for one year of funding. If for some reason your internal team build out to meet this need does not occur you would have to come back to us and to Council President Cavener's point you would need another budget amendment. So, I just want to make sure you understand. Blume: Council Woman Strader, that is correct and that -- that would be an exact characterization of how I understand it as well. Strader: Okay. Council President Cavener? Cavener: Council Woman Strader. Strader: I -- I would move that we approve the fiscal year 2025 budget amendment in the amount of 5,000 to authorize the CPR software purchase utilizing Light My Fire donation funds, explaining that the Council is approving this ongoing cost for one year only. Little Roberts: Second. Cavener: It's been moved and seconded. Any discussion? All right. I will ask the clerk to call roll. Roll Call- Cavener, nay; Strader, yea; Overton, yea; Little Roberts, yea; Taylor, absent; Whitlock, yea. Cavener: Four ayes. One nay. And the budget amendment is approved. MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. ONE NAY. ONE ABSENT. Blume: Thank you. Cavener: Thank you, Chief. Thank you, Mr. Lavoie. 13. Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Audit Report Cavener: Next up is Item 13, fiscal year 2024 financial audit from our friends Eide Bailly. We will turn this over to a man who needs no introduction, our CFO Todd Lavoie. Back again. Nice to see you. I feel like it was just mere minutes ago that we were -- Meridian City Council Work Session March 11,2025 Page 7 of 26 Lavoie: Been a long time, sir. Long time no see. Again, Members of the Council, appreciate the opportunity to allow our financial independent auditors to present to you and also allow you guys to ask them any questions, how the last fiscal year '24 audit went. Tonight you do have Kevin Smith, he is our partner. We Kailey Holt, who is our audit manager. So, again, I will bring up Kevin. He will present to you a few slides, but, please, engage them with questions about the fiscal '24 audit and with that I will bring up Kevin Smith. Cavener: Thank you, Mr. Lavoie. Mr. Smith, it's nice to have you back here. It's been a couple of years. Smith: Thank you. Cavener: Looking forward to hearing from you, sir. The time is yours. Smith: Thank you. Appreciate the opportunity. And Kailey Holt is with me and she can go over, you know, a lot of the detail if you have questions. Okay. I don't know how to advance the slide, but -- Johnson: Use the arrow. Your right arrow. Smith: Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Let's go a little bit over the -- the audit process itself and if you have questions on that, you know, please -- please let us know and we are happy to -- to address those. You know, first and foremost the most important part of the audit is that we issue an opinion and that opinion is what we call a clean or an unmodified opinion. There are other types of opinions that can be rendered and so the goal for us as auditors and also for management and City Council Members is that, you know, we issue a clean opinion and we have rendered that and -- and we have in the past also. Also within the financial statements there are other reports and opinions that that are rendered and the one on internal controls over financial reporting and compliance and so compliance with government auditing standards and since you are a government entity you have to follow additional standards, which are prescribed by -- by the government standard board and in that, if there are any what we call material weaknesses or significant deficiencies or -- or lack of controls, then, we would, obviously, point those out to you in the report and if it was a serious nature we would bring it to your attention before the audit was -- was final and we did not have any material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and we do processes -- procedures related to your internal controls to make sure that they are adhered to as -- as they are written and we didn't have any comments related to those. And, then, we do issue an opinion and an unmodified opinion, again, another clean opinion on what we call the single audit or the -- the federal funds that you receive and anytime you receive over 750,000 dollars in federal funds you are required to have an audit of -- of those programs and there is different types of thresholds within the -- within that threshold that that -- that -- ones that we have to audit and they rotate, you know, from year to year and the larger dollar amounts of -- of federal funds would have to be -- would have to be audited and we issue unmodified or clean opinion, had no comment related to those Meridian City Council Work Session March 11,2025 Page 8 of 26 federal funds. We issue a letter also along with the financial statement, our communication to you, and because you are the ones that are charged with governance and so that governance letter goes -- goes to you and every audit that we perform before the audit starts we, as auditors, look at the -- and assess the significant risks areas and the risk areas in almost all audits that we do are -- are related to the internal controls that we talked about. We also, you know, in that letter it talks about the difficulties -- if we have any difficulties that we encountered during -- in performing the audit and the corrected or uncorrected misstatements or any adjustments that we would have and, then, in the end of the audit the management represents to us that they have provided all the information and so we will start with a significant risk and the two risks that we identified at the beginning of the audit was, you know, any opportunities to override the controls or override the -- the processes and procedures and, then, also improper revenue recognition and those two risks are identified in every audit that we do and -- and part of that as we just heard, you know, an amendment to the budget if there is opportunities to move revenue or to recognize in a different -- different period because of the budget and that would be kind of an override of that process and procedures. That's why the revenue recognition is important and a risk. Any difficulties encountered during the audit and we -- we -- we bring this up and if we had, you know, issues with staff or not getting information timely we -- we would want you to be aware of that and we would want to, you know, take the time right now to talk about, you know, Todd and Jenny and Carol and all those that are involved in the financial statement process, they pay attention to details and -- and the process and procedures and they take it very serious and the fact that we didn't have any adjustments and -- and no management comments is reflection on them, because of the -- of the way they perform their -- their duties on -- on a daily basis and the fact that we don't have any adjustments means that, you know, during the year that you can be confident in the decisions you are making. If we come in and did the audit and we had ten or 12 adjustments at the end of the year, that would probably mean that, you know, six months ago that you probably had those same adjustments and they weren't reflected and you are making decisions. So, that -- that's always significant. So, we did not have any corrected adjustments. We did not have any uncorrected -- we did have uncorrected adjustments -- what we call past adjustments and -- and these are ones that have been -- been carried forward from -- from year to year and, Kailey, do you want to talk about the -- the past adjustments, the uncorrected misstatements that we had? Holt: Yeah. So, there are a handful of uncorrected misstatements and so I just want to reiterate with these uncorrected misstatements they are not material to the financial statements. So, that's what allows them to be passed on. So, your financial statements are still materially correct, it's just a management decision to not post these entries into the financial statements. So, the first past adjustment that we had was related to the recognition of the National Opioid Settlement Funds and this was a new and emerging accounting issue and how the recognition and treatment of these funds was being accounted for and it was incredibly complex in trying to figure out the recognition of the funds that were being received. In addition to that checks were showing up and nobody really had any context for them and due to the timing of when those checks were received or were starting to be received was actually back in fiscal year '22 and so once Meridian City Council Work Session March 11,2025 Page 9 of 26 we got the recognition figured out for how the opioid monies were to be recognized for the city that just led to what we call a past prior period adjustment. So, last year these funds would have been recognized in fiscal year '23 and so in the current year those are being recognized in fiscal year '24 is what the premise of that past adjustment is. So, again, reiterating that it's not a material adjustment or past adjustment, but there is 172,000 dollars of General Fund revenue that's being recognized in fiscal year '24 that does relate to funds received back in fiscal year '23. Any questions on that one before move on to the next ones? Okay. So, the other two -- the next one is also going to be related to the National Opioid Settlement. So, when we report these past adjustments we have them broken out by your different basic financial statements. So, the first is going to be at that fund level, which are the financial statements that you are more used to seeing on a day-to-day basis. The second portion of these past adjustments is the governmental activities. So, this is the one time of year financial statement that you see that's on the full accrual basis of accounting. It's got all those GAP adjustments in there and so this is the adjustment that relates to the prior year and so the accounting treatment for the Opioid Settlements, the way that the City of Meridian was receiving those monies was that the city should have recognized 883,000 dollars all in the year that they -- the settlements were approved and so the triggering event of when those monies were to be recognized was when that was approved or when each of the settlements were approved. Excuse me. And so that would have been last year and, actually, in fiscal year '22 as well. So, just some timing differences on the approval of those various different settlements and so that's why we have that past adjustment there and the second one that you see on there is an entry to pass on the recognition of some of the assets and liabilities for those arrangements that did not meet the city's established threshold and the total of those amounts is 292,000 dollars. So, last year there was a brand new accounting standard for subscription based information technology arrangements, otherwise, known as IT subscriptions is the simple way to think about that and so the city internally and their finance department, which is very common in -- in all of the governments that we work with, set a threshold for CIBDA agreements that they were not going to track and report on and so they do kind of keep a separate list of those and it just is due to the administrative burden of -- caused by this standard and so the standard has no established thresholds. So, that would mean that the city is spending time to track and record CIBDA agreements whether they are 2,000 dollars or 200,000 dollars and so the city set a limit and said, hey, due to the administrative burden caused by the standard we are going to set a limit of the ones that we are going to track and record and, then, we will have the ones that we just expense on an annual basis and so when you aggregate all of the ones together that are expensed on an annual basis that number is 292,000 dollars. So, that is that second adjustment that we have on there. Any questions on any of those for us? Cavener: Quick question. Just your -- your comment about the -- the Opioid Settlements and essentially acknowledging those in the year -- or referencing the funds in the year that we accept the -- the agreement, but that often is different -- but we don't typically receive the funds at the same time that we approve the agreement. So, how -- how should cities function, because that -- that one kind of perked my interest, because normally we would reflect once we receive the dollars not when we approve the Meridian City Council Work Session March 11,2025 Page 10 of 26 agreement. So, help me understand why we should be -- why we should be -- I guess why -- I'm not that bright. Holt: I'm following you. Cavener: Okay. Save me from myself. Holt: No. You are good. Thank you, Council President. So, just to give you some context about the opioids, so there is different phases is the way that I like to think about them and so the first of the phases, the -- I will start over with saying so the City of Meridian in the context of the National Opioid Settlement is what's known as a litigating party or an active participant in the Opioid Settlement funds and so because the City of Meridian is a litigating party there is a revenue recognition criteria that is triggered and that is fully a requirement of GAP and so in order for those financial statements to be GAP compliant those are the rules we have to follow because the City of Meridian is known as what's called a litigating party and so under that, because the City of Meridian was participating as a litigating party, there is what's called -- we have got nonexchange and exchange revenue and so when you have an exchange, right, there is a give and a take. Nonexchange it's no give and take and so because the City of Meridian was an active participant in that and they said, hey, we want to participate in this class action lawsuit, if there are funds that are to be distributed at the end of it we would like to be the beneficiary of those so that we can put that money back out into our community for opioid mitigation and so because of that the exchange revenue recognition criteria require it on a full accrual basis of accounting. So, on those government wide financial statements to be recognized when you are legally -- when you are -- legally you can get that -- the money is legally yours when that settlement is signed is the way to think about it and so the moment that there is ink on paper you are legally entitled based on the class action lawsuit to receive those funds and so that is the piece that triggers the revenue recognition at that government wide level and so back to your point to the other piece of that is that fund level. So, when we are looking at that first adjustment at the General Fund the revenue recognition for that piece of it is when you receive the actual money. So, when I was working with the finance team on making sure we got this all figured out and everything recorded correctly, the closest thing I could liken it to, just provide a little bit more context, is the recognition of property taxes and so this is actually pretty similar to the way that property taxes are recognized, both at the fund level and at the government wide level as well. So, not to get too technical with you all, but with property taxes there is deferred inflows of resources for money that you know that you are going to get, it just hasn't come through the door quite yet and so you know it's out there, but there is no cash in hand and so that's very similar to the way that the opioid monies are operating is the settlement funds were approved, each of the different defendants in the class action lawsuit know how much money they have to admit, but it's over an extended period of time. Some of them go out to -- I believe 2036. So, there is a schedule of what different governments are entitled to receive over that extended period of time and so a lot like property taxes, you know what you are going to get and when you are going to get it, but you just don't have the cash in hand quite yet. So, that is the closest thing I could liken it to was the recognition of those property Meridian City Council Work Session March 11,2025 Page 11 of 26 taxes. So, hopefully that answers kind of your questions and gives you a little context about those ones. But it is a tricky -- it was tricky and I would say for the other government entities that we do around the Treasure Valley they were going through the same -- a lot of the same -- I would say figuring this out and making sure that everyone was getting it recorded correctly, just because we hadn't seen anything really like this before. Cavener: Thank you, Kailey. Appreciate it. Holt: Yeah. Of course. Cavener: Any other questions about this portion? Great. Smith: As I mentioned at the end of the audit management, you know, signs of representation letter -- a letter that's kind of -- it's a format letter, but, you know, basically telling us that they have represented -- they have provided us all the information that we have asked -- asked for and that it's accurate and that it can be relied on by us and with that we open it up for any additional questions that you may have regarding the audit process or -- or the financial statements themselves, we are happy to respond. Cavener: Any questions from Council? Strader: Council President? Cavener: Council Member Strader. Strader: Just a comment. Like getting a clean audit, you know, it's not like we get fireworks and anything too exciting. Boring is good in your world. So, we -- we appreciate your efforts. But thanks for bringing those to our attention, especially -- that is kind of tricky around how the subscript -- you know, how the Opioid Settlement revenues were recognized and -- and also the little details of the software. So, we appreciate it. Thank you. Cavener: Kevin, just one maybe question. You have started working with the city when we were much smaller population, much smaller amount of revenue, smaller finance department staff. As we have grown you have kind of grown with us. Are there things that we as elected officials that have that fiduciary responsibility to our citizens should be thinking about as cities continue to grow that needs to be maybe on our radar so that we are proactively engaging in that, as opposed to reacting at a later point in time? Smith: You have -- you have already done that and you have done it very well, as you can see in -- in reflection in your financial statements. Now, your -- your fund balance, your cash position is different than anyone else's and it's because you have made those decisions, you know, years ago and they have, you know, carried on to today and so that you can make, you know, good decisions going forward. So, as far as the financial part, you -- you have done that and you have done it well, so -- but I would, you know, Meridian City Council Work Session March 11,2025 Page 12 of 26 recommend that you continue, you know, to do that and be conservative and -- and just be prepared for what's to come. A couple things kind of outside the financial statements, you know, a couple areas, you know, as we go around to different, you know, entities, you know, cybersecurity is just -- is ongoing, you know, and what -- what we see, you know, the changes with -- with -- with Al and -- and, you know, other things technology wise just -- we can never relax in -- in that area and never think that we have enough and that we are set, because we continue to see with our clients that they think they are set, they think they have everything in place and they don't. Cavener: That's a good point. I appreciate that. Smith: And processes and procedures. Another area. And we have done some, you know, agreed upon procedures, some internal control procedures, you know, that -- that have been asked for by management and -- and we are always happy to pick specific areas and it's just a good ongoing practice to always look at different areas, different departments that -- you know, that we can come in and just do a deeper look into. Holt: No add to that as well. But I think from my experience in working with the city -- I think I'm on my fourth year at this point and I have worked with various different sizes of cities all within the state of Idaho and I think my biggest thing that I have seen is cities making decisions to invest in technology that helps your people do their job on a day-to- day basis. I think it's, you know, exciting and fun to invest in, you know, these brand new emerging technologies which are also important to make sure that you are staying with current times, but where I see the biggest bang for the buck in the cities that I work with is making sure that you are focusing and paying attention to those technologies that just help your people get through their work on a day-to-day basis and so I know that the city has made an investment in Workday, things like that and making sure that the ERP systems are helping support and not working against your people. In terms of issues that I have seen with smaller governments their systems are doing nothing for them. A lot of the processes are manual. It's taking a lot of time, effort and energy from the people that work for those governments and it makes their job really really hard and so when you have an integrated system like the city's invested in that just makes it one less thing for the people to worry about, so that they can focus on the more technical accounting things and making sure that they are getting their -- the recognition of different events and transactions correct throughout the year. So, I would just say in what I have seen in the different sizes of cities that I have worked with is just to make sure that you are thinking and continuing to invest in those technologies that help your people do their job on a day-to-day basis. Cavener: Sound advice. Thank you very much for being here. I know it's been a few years since we have had you before us and as I was talking with the Mayor we hadn't had one of these updates in a long time and I thought it was important for all of us to hear -- to hear from our auditors about the process they go through and, you know, council, some of you probably know this, but the team here recognized Jenny and Carol, certainly Todd and -- and that whole department, you know, while we continue to function and do our job, like audit season for the Finance Department is a really big deal Meridian City Council Work Session March 11,2025 Page 13 of 26 and they continue to operate and unless you know what's going on you don't know that it's going on due to their level of professionalism and -- and care. So, Todd's back there. I think I see him. Todd, again, please pass along to your team how much we appreciate their efforts and, then, thank you again for joining us this afternoon. Smith: Thank you. Appreciate it. Holt: Thanks for having us. 14. 2025 Meridian Community Pool Proposed Fees Cavener: Okay. Council, next on our agenda is Item 14, 2025 Meridian Community Pool proposed fees and we will turn it over to Garrett White. Good afternoon, Garrett. Welcome. White: Council President Cavener, thanks for having me. Council, Thanks for having me as well. Here tonight to kind of talk about pool fees and really what I'm looking for tonight is nothing -- no action really from you guys, it's more of just a head nod, thumbs up, those types of things based on my proposals. The timeline that I have here is, yeah, if you guys are not opposed to the -- the fees I'm presenting today, then, what I will do is I will post them and come back in two weeks for a public hearing for the fees. I would like to have the fees posted and done by April 1 st. It's not a deal killer either way. But April 1st is kind of our target to have them all approved. We are going to take swim lessons on the 3rd when that opens and those things -- they go really fast. So, I want to have all that stuff up and information out and post it as well. So, with that I will go through my presentation. First I want to just talk about the users of the pool. We do swim lessons for over 2,000 kids and last year was the first time we were able to use our Care Enough To Share funds with that. We really tried to promote that. We had 20 -- I think it was like 27, 28 kids that actually used the Care Enough To Share funds and we are hoping that grows again this year and for those who use it don't know I'm sure -- I think everybody knows, but the Care Enough To Share funds are basically scholarships for the kiddos to -- to go get -- it covers about 80 percent of the -- the cost of swim lessons and any other program they do. Other users were our camps -- our summer camps, outdoor adventure camp. Camp Mer-IDA-Moo, Boys and Girls Club, daycare facilities, some -- some swim teams use it last year. The Killer Whales, Streamliners, Meridian High School, Rocky High School, they had some different swim meets as well and really we had a couple private parties and a couple other things, but mainly it was swim lessons, public swim and swim teams that were used in the facility. Note that upstairs in the classroom area we do have classes held year round through our activity guide as well. Oh, I guess I can talk about the schedule. This is the -- the schedule we had last year. It's kind of the tentative schedule we are looking for this year as well. It's over here to your right. Sundays is to be determined. It depends how many guards we have, availabilities and stuff like that, but we would love to see the pool open seven days a week if at all possible with that. So, I always put that on there. Talking fees now and cost recovery and really trying to keep up with inflation is really the message I want to send here. Currently with -- in the pink there you will kind of see kind Meridian City Council Work Session March 11,2025 Page 14 of 26 of what we do for our private swim lessons, semi-private, which is basically two kids and, then, group lessons and kind of what it all boils down to and what our profit and losses are on those. Those we do make some money under swim lessons that help cover some of the cost of the facility, obviously, and the public swim and the blue just below that you will see that we do lose money when it comes to public swim and that's basically covering the guards on the deck and those types of things and the office and everywhere else. So, we do lose quite a -- quite a bit just on public swim itself. Our pool subsidies, down here at the bottom, in FY-23 and FY-24 those are actuals. You can kind of see our cost recovery and -- and these fees are really our ongoing cost and, I'm sorry, the subsidy -- the operational cost there are the ongoing costs and not the big projects -- the one-time projects we use with WARD's money and things like that. But you can kind of see our cost recovery. Budgeted for FY-25 is about 22 percent cost recovery, which we want to get better. Moving on to my fee proposals, like I said before, these are really -- I think the message I want to send is this really helps us keep up with the inflation portion of it and operational costs. From my research that I have done with WARD and past employees at the pool the fees have not been raised to my understanding and from 2017 or prior, that's kind of the -- the guess is when the last time the fees were raised at the pool. So, a few years back. So, really, what I'm trying to do is on the day passes is the proposed fees is really just to raise it a dollar per -- per kid, per adult, whatever, maybe just in the day passes and, then, the season passes where family and individuals reflect the increase, keeping the break-even point at about 15 visits per summer. The swim lessons I'm increasing, because I do want to help cover the cost of the facility itself. It does -- they do cover the cost of the guards and some of the equipment that we use for that, but we also want to cover the facility as well on some of the swim lessons. Private parties, increase it as well just to cover the cost of all regards, plus some of the stuff they use in the facility. Same with the swim team meets and the swim team practices with that. So, that's really kind of what it is and -- and these fees do put us in comparison with the market and surrounding cities. Not that we are really comparing with -- apples and oranges there, but the fees to get in are very comparable what others are offering. If we take on the proposed fees that I'm proposing and everybody's good with it and we have the public hearing and everybody's good with it, this is kind of the reflection there and, like I said before, down there at the bottom, the pool subsidy and the proposed fee increases, it does keep our cost recovery at about 25 percent; right? So, it doesn't necessarily give us a lot more, but it does keep our costs recovered by the same. So, it kind of keeps us up with inflation on that aspect. So -- and, again, FY-25 is budgeted, ongoing cost, not the one-time stuff, but it's -- it's -- -- it keeps us up with that. With that, like I said, I'm kind of looking for some feedback, some -- some yes, no, maybes and go from there. So, with that I will stand for questions. Cavener: Council, any questions for Mr. White? Little Roberts: Mr. President? Cavener: Council Member Little Roberts. Meridian City Council Work Session March 11,2025 Page 15 of 26 Little Roberts: Mr. President, Garrett, thank you very much. I think our prices are more than reasonable. Was just curious about what the Cares For Shares -- what all it will cover. If a child has no access do they get lessons? Open swim? What all will that cover for them? White: Council President Cavener, Council Woman Little Roberts, great question. So, what that does right now is that we don't have it eligible for the -- the day passes, but if some -- if a kid came and wanted to do something with an individual pass or a family pass or a family swim would make that work. Right now the program set up for the programs themselves of like swim lessons. But if -- if somebody came to me and -- and needed something like that we would try to make something work for them in that aspect, if that makes any sense. But the program right now primarily is for programs themselves. Little Roberts: Okay. Great. Thank you. White: Yeah. Yeah. Good question. Thank you. Overton: Council President? Cavener: Councilman Overton. Overton: Garrett, you know, I know if you guys didn't have to raise rates you wouldn't. -- I know that as a fact and nobody likes to see rates go up. White: Yeah. Overton: But every aspect of operating that pool has gone up from the wages you have to pay, to the cost of chemicals to keep your pool running -- I mean there isn't a portion of anything that you do that hasn't gone up and we would not be doing our job sitting up here if we weren't trying to keep you where you need to be for cost recovery to be both efficient for the community, but also for the city and I think that's a very fair budget you are lining out. I -- I -- I fully support it. I like what I see. It's not outrageous. I think it addresses the issues, the shortfalls and brings you back up to where you want to be. Strader: Council President? Cavener: Council Member Strader. Strader: Yeah. I -- I think considering -- it seems like it's been seven or eight years since there was an increase, which is a really long amount of time. My question is just what is the cadence going forward to evaluate future increases? That -- that's my question. White: Council President Cavener, Council Woman Strader, that's a great question and we would love the opportunity to work with our Council liaison or director and the people Meridian City Council Work Session March 11,2025 Page 16 of 26 at the pool and just try to figure that out and what -- and the Mayor, obviously, and -- and what -- what is acceptable when it comes to the cost recovery or what -- where should we want to be. Does that make sense? Moving forward we want to keep -- we don't want to go backwards; right? So, we want to continue to -- to maintain our -- is it 25 percent, is it 30 percent or is it more cost recovery or subsidy. That -- that -- that's a great question. Strader: Quick follow up? Cavener: Yeah. Council Member Strader. Strader: Yeah. I -- well -- and I have noticed -- and I -- I can appreciate you guys are trying to round to the nearest dollar, including tax and I actually think that makes some sense. Like, you know, maybe the fee structure is such that you look at it every year and you try to figure out if you are close enough that you need to like take that step. But, yeah, I guess feedback for me is I'm supportive of the increase, you know, it's sad to ever have to increase our fees, but it's just the nature of the economy that we are living in. So, we will continue to need to do this in order to provide a decent level of service to the community. So, I appreciate you bringing it forward and I'm very supportive of it. I would just -- I would love to see everybody maybe just evaluate this annually and -- and it could be that it's not material enough to make a change and that's okay. But I think if we look at it every year that might make sense. Whitlock: Mr. President? Cavener: Council Member Whitlock. Whitlock: Garrett, thank you and appreciate the presentation and 1, too, think this is a modest increase given the time that we have gone without an increase. It is time and I think something that we absolutely need to consider. We will hear from the public, but think they will look at this and also come to the same conclusion that what we are trying to do is offer an amenity in this community that is in high demand and we are trying to do it at as reasonable a cost to them as possible. So, appreciate the thought that went into all of this and certainly we will -- we will look deeper and we will listen to what the public has to say, but thanks for all of the effort. I guess one question is, you know, as you have the Sunday TBD, how -- how is recruitment going in terms of hiring enough people and staffing and being able to maximize the use of the pool? White: Councilor, Councilman Cavener, we -- right now we have -- I think we -- Willow and I have reviewed 46 applications just regards right now and we are still open. We take applications all the way through mid-April with that, so a lot of the returners trickle in, this and that, because they kind of know we don't end the hiring until April. But giving kudos to Willow, she will ping them quite a bit just through text messages, calls, e-mails, whatever. Hey, get your stuff and so we can get the ball rolling, paperwork and things like that. So, right now, you know, I always worry until we have enough guards, but right now we have like -- I think I said like 47, 48 guards that have applied. Doesn't mean we Meridian City Council Work Session March 11,2025 Page 17 of 26 are going to hire them all, but we still want guards and the more guards we have the more we can be open in theory; right? So, I'm not worried yet, but we have quite a few guards available right now. Thanks. Thanks for the question. Cavener: Garrett, a couple just questions for you and, Council, some of you know -- know Garrett knows this. The reason why I'm very passionate about Meridian pool is because I want many kids to learn how to swim in Meridian as possible and provide a very affordable option and, Garrett, I appreciate you have become so like presentation and data focused, which helps me kind of look at everything and I -- I focused a lot on the private swim lessons, because that has a high cost to an individual. It only impacts one or sometimes two students, but certainly from the revenue that the city generates it's the lowest and I wonder are we better to suit the needs of our community by having one less private and allowing one additional class given our space limitations that allows us to educate more kids, keeps prices low and actually the city brings in additional revenue and I don't know if you and your team have discussed that -- and, listen, one of my kids has benefited from a -- from a private lesson. So, I -- I found it to be very convenient and beneficial. But when I look at it from a community standpoint maybe there are other places that may be better suited for a private and more individualized lesson and us maybe focus on serving as many kids as possible. White: Yeah. Councilman Cavener, my response to that is I -- I -- I hear you and asked Willow the same questions, it's just like, well, can we -- we want to get kids to learn how to swim; right? So, I learned a lot just by listening to what Willow says and her expertise in teaching lessons and the group lessons we can only fit so many little ones, group ones, the minnows, whatever you want to call them, in the shallow end and so on. We have so much space there. So, when it comes to the logistics of the scheduling and how many more kids we can get in there, whether we, you know, focus more private or public or group lessons, those types of things, we -- we do what we can to bring in the most revenues and fill the pool, if that makes any sense. Logistically. Cavener: So, Garrett, I guess what I would suggest is if there is places that I would look at maybe an additional rate increase, it is on the -- on the private piece and using that additional revenue to help, again, to Council Member Whitlock's question, bingo pay, we can pay better more competitive wages, retain more -- more lifeguards, that would be a place that I would -- I would focus on and, then, something that I would maybe encourage you guys to go back and discuss is, you know, looking at the -- the cost of swim lessons, how -- recognize we need to do that, is there a value proposition we can provide our residents, which is maybe it's an increase, whether it's proposed or even slightly higher, but it includes a -- a free day pass, so that those that learn how to swim -- yes, you are going to spend a little bit more money, but you also are getting an increase in value. So, you guys know the operational impact on that better than 1, just want to make sure those are some things that you are considering so that as we are -- you know, we would love to be able to operate as many pools in Meridian at zero cost. We don't have that ability as we are trying to be good stewards of the taxpayer dollars and I would also encourage you -- I -- I know that you and your team and we know what subsidy is, those are taxpayer dollars and so I would -- I would really encourage you in Meridian City Council Work Session March 11,2025 Page 18 of 26 future reports, let's -- let's be pretty transparent about that. That's what the taxpayers are -- are subsidizing the pool in order to be able to operate. I have had some -- some feedback from some folks in our community that maybe take exception with some of the words and I get we all have different words that are important to us, but something I would just also encourage you to consider for future reports. White: Great. Thank you. Cavener: Thanks. So, with that if you will bring it back with the public hearing -- White: In a couple weeks. Cavener: -- we will get that scheduled as soon as possible for you guys. White: Thank you guys very much. 15. 2025 Ada County Highway District Five Year Plan Roadway, Intersection & Community Program Prioritization Cavener: Council, last on our agenda this afternoon is the 2025 Ada County Highway District five year plan roadway intersection and community program prioritization. This is a continuation of our conversation a couple weeks ago and we have got Hether here, so I will turn it over to you, Hether. Hill: Thank you, Council President Cavener and Council. I'm back before you to discuss the prioritization process for the 2025 ACHD five year plan. You know, last time we were here we kind of discussed it. We had a few different kind of parallel conversations happening. I outlined three of those in the memo and before I kind of touch base on those I want to recognize that I know that there was a discussion about the railroad crossing on Black Cat and it was just kind of unclear where we want to see that be moved and I did have a chance to kind of get an update from Council President Cavener before this work session. So, I did want to preface that. So, the -- the three other conversations one was the Ustick and Venable that you will see that in Exhibit A that has been elevated on your list to number ten on the draft list before you, just trying to kind of move that to somewhere where Parks is somewhat happy with that. We kind of chatted with them, so that was one. We also discussed the Linder Road, Cherry to Ustick, recognizing that we are supportive in ACHD being opportunistic in those early acquisitions of affected properties, but that we would deprioritize that to make room for other projects, recognizing that that project as a whole is going to take some time. So, those are the ones in Exhibit A. I can stop there and, then, we can kind of move on to conversation number three, the priority corridors. I will really kind of leave it up to Council how you would like to proceed with essentially coming up with a final recommendation, recognizing that this list needs to be turned into ACHD on by the 19th, so -- Meridian City Council Work Session March 11,2025 Page 19 of 26 Cavener: Council, any questions for Hether on -- Hether, are you looking for questions about just Exhibit A? Hill: Yeah. I think I would be asking is Council supportive of -- in agreeance with the recommendations for Ustick-Venable, understanding that that was a shift based on our conversation previously, as well as the placement of the Linder Road, Cherry Lane to Ustick, down to number 16. Whitlock: Mr. President? Cavener: Council Member Whitlock. Whitlock: I think what was -- the packet reflects our discussions. I think she did a good job of capturing that. There was one element that maybe we need further discussions on to get the ACHD, but -- Cavener: Okay. Seeing no questions about Exhibit A, let's continue on. Hill: Okay. Great. So, Exhibit B -- this was really just for conversation purposes. This was to the discussion about should we identify a priority corridor, would that be Meridian Road or Locust Grove. So, you will see in Exhibit B I just used Meridian Road as an example. So, you can see the coupling of numbers 12 and 13. That's Meridian, Ustick to McMillan, and Meridian, McMillan to Chinden. If you were to inverse the two and decide that Locust Grove Road be the priority, those numbers would just swap and I did provide custom details from Kristy. She's also here today. I included those in your packet just so you can see some of the high level kind of rationale or just input she had as part of that. As staff we were thinking if we were to proceed with one of those priority corridors we could always highlight that in our letter as well that we sent to ACHD if we want to take a further analysis of those corridors, understanding future right-of-way impacts, et cetera. So, those are B and C in your packet and happy to chat about those as well. Cavener: Council, questions? Strader: Council President? Cavener: Council Member Strader. Strader: My first question would be do we get feedback from the Fire Department about whether the focus should be more on Locust Grove from a -- and I recall the Mayor brought this up in our last meeting that there could be some response time and some other impacts. So, I was just curious if we followed up on that. Hill: Thank you, Council Woman Strader. We hadn't had an opportunity to really do a deep dive with Fire. I did make note that that was the Mayor's request that we do and I think it would be important for staff if we are going to do that and take Fire's concerns Meridian City Council Work Session March 11,2025 Page 20 of 26 into consideration, understand that Locust Grove is a choke point at some points for them to have access. I think we should take everything into consideration. And with that we can, you know, revisit it this year, work with ACHD and do some more analysis on that. So, I -- for now we have not coordinated with Fire. That's not to say that we cannot follow up. Strader: Follow up? Cavener: Council Member Strader. Strader: So, is it staff's recommendation to leave Meridian Road as the -- I guess placeholder priority with this request to ACHD to do the cost analysis of the two alternatives and, then, do a deeper dive over the next year to look internally and with our partners to figure out what the right -- is that the recommendation or -- like I'm a little nervous about giving the green light on, you know, Meridian Road to be the priority if that's not where we are going to go, but if it's understood that this is here as a placeholder, because we need this analysis to be done and it's just not feasible to do the analysis before we transmit the -- the work plan recommendations, does that kind of summarize your recommendation? Hill: Yes. Council Woman Strader and Council, I think our recommendation is -- I mean I could go either way. I could just leave it as is and we could spend the year focusing on which priority corridor to do or we could prioritize Meridian Road, understanding that there is the interchange. I think in looking I would have to kind of re-familiarize myself with some of Kristy's comments, but that the Meridian corridor and ACHD's portion is fully built out. There is only two miles remaining in the corridor. So, we could look at it at just that level and be like that's the one to prioritize, but I believe there is other -- you know, it depends on how much data you want to have to make an informed decision. So, I mean I would be comfortable either way, knowing that even if we elevate these two projects this year we still have an opportunity next year, because they are not going to start -- most likely start design on either of those right away. Strader: Okay. Yeah, I -- I guess -- I understand that perspective. Again, I -- I think the right of way could make a huge difference in the viability of one or the other project. So, I think the cost analysis -- the cost benefit analysis is really important to pursue. I don't think we want to use a top recommendation spot for something that is not economically viable. So, I feel like our letter should strongly highlight the importance of doing this analysis that we would like to complete one of these corridors to the north all the way to Chinden and we would like an analysis I think of -- of the two alternatives. I -- prioritizing Meridian Road, I guess if it does a placeholder I'm okay with it, but I feel like with a fire station on that segment of Locust Grove that does feel like a compelling thing that I want us to look at. So, I guess either way, but I just -- I think we need to strongly -- strongly encourage this analysis to be completed. I don't know what else to say, but -- Cavener: Council, I think -- maybe my hope would be is that we could put in that request as part of the letter and not knowing how that would be received by our highway Meridian City Council Work Session March 11,2025 Page 21 of 26 district friends, if that's something they would be supportive of. If that helps. They likely are doing some of this -- they are not waiting necessarily on all projects are doing cost analysis. So, some of this work may already be in progress and we are just not in the loop on it. So, perhaps maybe keeping them as is with a desire to study in collaboration with the highway district over the next year, but maybe -- maybe an appropriate request in the letter unless we are wanting to make some larger shifts in terms of prioritization. What I would caution is us moving stuff this year, then, moving them back or moving something else in years to come. We have benefited I think by being fairly consistent in kind of outlining those corridors and working through those projects. Not opposed to making a shift now, but I -- I agree with Council Member Strader to move something up just to maybe begin a cost analysis at the expense of highlighting another potential project may not be the right use of our small amount of spots. Hether, does -- does that seem doable? That's not something that we have necessarily included in our letter and I -- I don't want to get out of the scope of what they are expecting, but just trying to figure out the right way to capture -- I think maybe the desire of the Council long term, but wanting to make sure that we have measured twice and cut once before we would move forward. Hill: Councilman -- Council -- Council President Cavener and Council, I mean I don't -- I can't speak to if that would be totally out of scope for the letter. I know last year our letter was a little different anyways, but I can certainly include that and share that and we can -- from what I'm hearing is just move forward with the Exhibit A priority list and emphasize that we would like to have that coordination for next year's five year plan process. Cavener: Excellent. And, Hether, if we can -- I don't want to put Kristy on the spot. If you would like to speak to that -- you are so kind to join us in person, I don't want to volun-tell you to get up and talk to us, but I think your insight and perspective would help us maybe framing our next steps. Inselman: No. Absolutely. Good evening, President Cavener, Council Members. For the record Kristy Inselman, planning supervisor with ACHD. As soon as you started talking about cost that is certainly something that we would be happy to provide and we can do a cost analysis, very high level, of today's dollars of what each corridor would cost if we are doing a three versus a five right-of-way expectation. So, we do that anyway, especially with our CIP updates, we do cost analysis on all of these corridors anyway, but with the difference of a three versus five. We can give you both. Strader: Okay. Inselman: I don't think we can get you those cost analysis before the due date, but we can definitely get those to you in the next month or so, if that would work for Council. Cavener: Great. Thanks, Kristy. Inselman: Absolutely. Meridian City Council Work Session March 11,2025 Page 22 of 26 Cavener: Council, any questions for Kristy? So, Hether, maybe in terms of, then, of thinking next steps for next year, that I think should be a question maybe before the Council is here is the -- here is the priorities that have come from the Transportation Commission., Are there any that Council would like some cost estimates based on -- way -- in that kind of period between this first when we come back, that gives staff and our friends at the highway district a little bit more time to give us some of that data. So, I will forget, Hether, and I might not be here and so a flagging for you to maybe remind us and give us some good hygiene next year when we are back here discussing this. Okay. Council, other questions for Hether? Okay. Want to continue on then. Hill: Yeah. So, I just want to confirm. Do we want to continue talking about roads and intersections or switch gears to community programs? Because I want to make sure that I know which exhibit that we are going -- I will be including with the letter and I believe that would be the Exhibit A with Ustick and, then, the change with Linder, leaving the rest as is. Cavener: Hether, I think Council -- because you are probably going to need a motion from us at some point, but I think you are getting -- Hill: Okay. Cavener: -- the nods on Exhibit A right now. Hill: That's fine. I just wanted to make sure before we move on. So, next moving on to community programs, I believe the one up for discussion is Black Cat crossing continuing that conversation. The community programs list is the same that was included with your packet on February 25th. So, that's where you will see the community programs. So, happy to discuss what Council would like to see and if there is any modifications to our list there. Cavener: Council, if you would indulge me, I maybe would like to ask Kristy to come back up to give us some guidance. Sorry, Kristy, I don't mean to put you on the spot. I have got a -- maybe a question you can help me for some guidance. I -- if it's okay, I will -- I will ask, because I haven't even asked it yet, so ask you to come up first. Thank you for coming back up. So, I see Council has discussed -- and this will come as no surprise -- the best solution to the choke point at Black Cat and the railway. In my conversations with the director he encouraged that this should become a community program item if we aren't satisfied in waiting until Black Cat from Cherry to Franklin is built out. I am at least going to propose here in a few minutes that Council adds a new community program item designed to address that very issue. Would you mind giving me or the Council some flavor of how we should propose that community program to meet the intentions of the Council in a way that is conveyed most properly to the highway district? Inselman: Okay. President Cavener, Council Members, so it -- it depends, obviously, wherever you land it on the list will speak loudly to us as to what the priorities are of the Meridian City Council Work Session March 11,2025 Page 23 of 26 city. So, if that leapfrogs other projects that's going to tell us that that is a higher priority for the city. I would just be clear in the description and we work very closely with Hether. If we are unsure of a description we work very closely. I come to these meetings, so that I can get clarity on what you are looking for. So, just -- just high level what it is that you are hoping to achieve is generally the best way to give us a description of your project. Are you looking for -- not for this one, but are you looking for bike ped, filling gaps, addressing maybe a signalization, something at the railroad, whatever it is that you are hoping to achieve with the project is what I would put as your description. Cavener: Great. So, I may ask if as we are discussing that here in a minute if you have got a concern or a question or clarification feel free to -- to wave your hands and we would be happy to make sure that there is good clarity should this be something the Council wants to engage in. Inselman: Absolutely. Cavener: Thank you. Inselman: Thank you. Cavener: Any other questions, programs for Kristy while we have got her up here? I know she is getting her steps with us tonight. Thank you. So, Council, I sent you guys all an e-mail last night. I would like to establish a new community program around addressing the choke point at the stop sign at the Black Cat railroad. Perhaps if staff is comfortable leaving it to them to wordsmith in the most appropriate manner, but it would be my intention that we would yield somewhat to the highway district about the most efficient way to do that. There is -- there is lots of different ways to satisfy this from crossing arms to just removing the stop sign and replacing it with a -- with a flashing beacon or a non-flashing beacon. I wouldn't want to be so prescriptive in adding this that it would limit whatever the highway district thinks is best. I just want to be able to move vehicles in the most efficient manner across the railway on Black Cat. I would -- if -- if I were to make a motion I would ask the Council to at least be open minded to having that community program land at the top -- top three or top five, just to that point, because I think it is a bigger issue and to Kristy's points I want it -- like us to make a statement, hey, this is a bigger priority that we would like to have the highway district pay some attention to. So, I don't know if I summarized that well in my e-mail to you all last night. I'm happy to answer any questions that you may have about that or if there is any other items that are here as community programs that we also feel should be highlighted. I don't want my enthusiasm about this project to over shadow any other priorities that any of you may have had or heard from people in your community. Strader: Council President? Cavener: Council Member Strader. Meridian City Council Work Session March 11,2025 Page 24 of 26 Strader: Isn't it the -- I think the -- the concern at least that I have heard articulated around this area wasn't just an issue with vehicles necessarily, it was really -- I thought a pedestrian issue primarily and it has been a consistent problem for us that we have all talked about. So, I am supportive of it being in the top five. You know, top three. I think it's -- there is an argument for it, but that's kind of where I'm at. Just from a high level. It just feels like it's an unsafe enough set of conditions that we need something to happen here faster than the highway district is currently planning. So, I -- I think if we could signal that to them I think that would be a good thing. Like to me this is a priority. I think it's important that we find a resolution on it. Overton: Mr. Council President? Cavener: Council Member Overton. Overton: It seems like we had this conversation a year ago when we were trying to determine between three agencies who would take the lead on having this happen and if we waited for it to be part of the entire road project or not. The road project is so many years down the road and the extreme need for the stop sign go away and the signal to go in to try to move that traffic every day because of the location of the school, I am fully supportive of bringing it into the top five. Cavener: Excellent. Then are there any other movements or questions on -- I know we didn't discuss a lot of community programs a few weeks ago. Any other comments or questions about any other community programs that are listed in the memo from Hether? Overton: Mr. Council President? Cavener: Council Member Overton. Overton: The one I don't want to see displaced, because it's been displaced so many times before, is the one that currently sits as number two. Cavener: Yeah. Overton: I -- I consistently hear from folks that live in that area that are elderly that cannot walk on sidewalks that go to nowhere and it's finally up at this position, the roadway, again, will not be done for several years, so I guess besides just saying in the top five, maybe if it could come in number three behind that one that would be a good placement for me. Cavener: Council Member Overton, you are certainly anticipating where I had planned to, if I were to make a motion where I would place this. I think number three is the most appropriate. One and certainly two I think have been kind of evergreen issues that we are booked to address, so I'm happy to -- I guess I'm the chair, so I'm not going to make any motions, but if someone were to make a motion to have -- you know, adding the Meridian City Council Work Session March 11,2025 Page 25 of 26 choke point mitigation at the Black Cat railroad as community program number three that would be in line with where I guess my recommendation would be. Whitlock: Mr. President? Cavener: Council Member Whitlock. Whitlock: I'm happy to make that motion to make the choke point correction at Black Cat and the railway a top three priority coming in at number three. Cavener: Okay. And I haven't got a second yet, but I -- are you planning to also make your motion to include that we include Exhibit A for the roadway priorities and to send a letter to the highway district communicating that, as well as our desire for more information on cost related to transportation projects? Whitlock: Mr. President, you read my mind. I was going to include all of that. Cavener: Okay. Strader: Second. Cavener: There is a moved and seconded. Discussion for the Council? Seeing none, all in favor say aye. The chair is aye. Any nays? All right. Motion passes. MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. ONE ABSENT. Cavener: Hether, does that makes sense for you? And if you need clarification we are happy to chat. Hill: Thank you so much.

III. STAFF ANALYSIS Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code(UDC) A. General Overview The UDC states that approval of a planned unit development and preliminary plat shall become null and void if the applicant fails to commence the permitted use as set forth in UDC 11-5B-6F and obtain the city engineer's signature on the final plat within two(2)years of the approval of the preliminary plat as set forth in UDC 11-6B-7C. If phased, each phase must be signed by the City Engineer within two (2)year successive intervals. The Applicant may request an extension of up to two(2)years if such request is filed before the termination period.With all extensions, the City Council may require the planned unit development and/or preliminary plat to comply with the current provisions of the UDC. The Director approved a 2-year time extension for the preliminary plat and planned unit development on December 15,2022,which extended the original approval to January 19,2025. The reasons for delay in moving forward with this development cited at that time are as follows: continued coordination with ACHD on the drainage issues associated with the site; completion of bridge improvements associated with the culvert for Ten Mile Creek drain where it passes under Lake Hazel Road that are the responsibility of the developer of the property to the north(Orchard Creek);vertical construction isn't allowed until the bridge is constructed and floodplain development requirements are met; and the design of the roads for the subdivision is contingent upon the bridge construction and resulting changes in the floodplain and a lengthy approval process is anticipated with ACHD on the construction plans. A second 2-year time extension is requested to commence the use and complete the infrastructure improvements currently occurring in Phase 1. The extension would give the Applicant until January 19,2027 to commence the permitted use and obtain the City Engineer's signature on the final plat. Since the preliminary plat was approved,there have been some updates to the UDC regarding sidewalk widths along arterial streets and minimum open space and site amenity standards, as follows: • The minimum open space requirement changed from 10%,which required a minimum of 2.63-acres to be provided,to 15%,which requires a minimum of 3.95-acres to be provided. The amount of open space that was approved(i.e. 4.9+-acres or 18.57%+) exceeds the current standard. City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis • The minimum site amenity requirement changed from one(1) qualified amenity to five (5)amenity points. The previously approved amenities [i.e. a 10'wide 1,631+/-foot long (1/3 mile) segment of the City's multi-use pathway system along the east boundary adjacent to the Ten Mile Creek; a 16' x 16' shelter with a picnic table on Lot 10,Block 3; an 8' x 12' arbor with 2 benches on Lot 1,Block 10; an arbor with 2 benches on Lot 8, Block 5; and a dirt trail and paved 5' wide pathway on the hillside on Lot 8,Block 5] meet and exceed the new standards at 5 pts. for the 1/3 mile of multi-use pathway,2 pts. for the picnic area on a site 5,000 s.f. or greater in size,2 pts. open space commons shelter(i.e. arbor with benches), and 2 pts. for trails/paths. • A 7-foot wide detached sidewalk was approved within the street buffer along E. Lake Hazel Rd.A 10-foot wide detached sidewalk is currently required. As a conditions of the subject time extension, Staff recommends a 10-foot wide detached sidewalk is provided in lieu of a 7-foot wide sidewalk along E.Lake Hazel Rd.; and vegetation on the hillside is maintained regularly to prevent a fire hazard.

History and Process The preliminary plat and planned unit development(PUD) (H-2020-0064)was approved by City Council on January 19,2021. An administrative time extension(TED-2022-0009)for two(2) years was approved by the Director on December 15,2022,which extended the PUD and preliminary plat to January 19, 2025.No new conditions were added as a provision of the time extension. A final plat(FP-2021-0043)has been approved for the first phase of development but has not yet received City Engineer signature; a modification to the final plat was approved(MFP- 2022-0001). The subject time extension application was submitted prior to the expiration date. IV. CITY/AGENCY COMMENTS& CONDITIONS A. Meridian Planning Division 1.

FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION&ORDER FOR(Chicken Bucket Subdivision—SHP-2025-0001) -5- III. STAFF ANALYSIS Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code (UDC) A. General Overview/History The proposed short plat aims to subdivide the 1.15-acre subject property, located within the C-G zone,into two(2)commercial lots. The property currently consists of two(2) commercial buildings constructed in the early 2000s,which are situated on a single lot. The purpose of the subdivision is to separate these existing buildings for ownership purposes,with no proposed changes to the current uses or tenants. Table 4: Project Overview Description Details History CZC-01-032 Acreage 1.15 acres Lots 2 Commercial Lots B. Site Development and Use Analysis 1. Existing Structures/Site Improvements (UDC 11-1): There is two(2) existing commercial buildings on the property that are proposed to remain. 2. Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2): The two proposed properties meet the dimensional standards of the C-G zoning district, except for the required 35-foot landscape buffer along Meridian Road and Main Street. However, since this is an existing development with no proposed changes beyond the subdivision,an alternative compliance application is not required at this time. Future redevelopment will be subject to UDC 11-3B-2,which permits phased landscape improvements as cumulative expansions occur. The city will monitor any future redevelopment,including additions and new construction,to ensure compliance with these requirements. C. Design Standards Analysis 1. Landscaping (UDC 11-3B): i. Landscape buffers along streets A 35-foot wide street buffer is required adjacent to S.Main Street and S. Meridian Road, arterial streets and designated as entryway corridors. This buffer should be landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-313-7C. The existing site is nonconforming with this standard due to a mix of road widening projects and code changes since the original entitlement of the property.Due to the existing nature of the site and no proposed changes beyond the subdivision, staff recommends an alterative compliance application not be required until future redevelopment. UDC 11-3B-2 allows for phased landscape improvements as cumulative expansions occur. Staff will monitor these thresholds and ensure compliance with the UDC.Additionally, the maintenance of the landscaping along the frontage of each lot should state the responsible party for the maintenance of these improvements in accord with UDC 11-3B-7C2.a and 11-3B-13. ii. Tree preservation FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION&ORDER FOR(Chicken Bucket Subdivision—SHP-2025-0001) -6- A Tree Mitigation Plan should be submitted with the final plat signature application detailing all existing trees and methods of mitigation outlined by the City Arborist before any trees are to be removed as set forth in UDC 11-3B-1OC.5. No trees are proposed to be removed with this application. However, any future changes to the landscaping will require tree mitigation. 2. Parking (UDC 11-3C): i. Residential parking analysis Off-street parking is required to be provided in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11- 3C-5. One space per 250 square feet of gross floor area is required for each building. The southern building is roughly 3,900 square feet which requires 16 parking stalls. The applicant has subdivided the property to incorporate 17 parking stalls exceeding the requirement. The northern building is roughly 3,700 square feet which requires 16 parking stalls. The applicant has provided 48 parking stalls exceeding the requirement. Staff recommends plat note# 6 include a shared parking agreement between Lots I and 2, Block 1. Transportation Analysis 3. Access (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-3, UDC 11-3H-4): Access to this property is provided via S. Main Street and S. Meridian Road. The plat notes state there is a blanket cross-access easement between Lot 1 and Lot 2, Block I to allow for access to both sites on either drive aisle. Since this is a blanket easement, it is not depicted on the plat. D. Services Analysis 1. Pressurized Irrigation(UDC 11-3A-15): Underground pressurized irrigation water is required to be provided to each lot within the subdivision as set forth in UDC 11-3A-15. 2. Storm Drainage (UDC 11-3A-18): An adequate storm drainage system is required in all developments in accord with the City's adopted standards, specifications and ordinances. Design and construction shall follow best management practice as adopted by the City as set forth in UDC 11-3A-18. 3. Utilities (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-21): Connection to City water and sewer services is required and are available to be extended by the developer with development in accord with UDC 11-3A-21 and Goals 3.03.03G& 3.03.03F.Urban sewer and water infrastructure and curb, gutter, and sidewalks are required to be provided with development of the subdivision. III. CITY/AGENCY COMMENTS & CONDITIONS A. Meridian Planning Division 1. If the City Engineer's signature has not been obtained within two (2)years of the City Council's approval of the short plat, the short plat shall become null and void unless a time extension is obtained, per UDC 11-6B-7. 2. The short plat and landscape plan prepared by Evan J. Wood, on 11/26/2024, included in Section VI.A, shall be revised as follows: FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION&ORDER FOR(Chicken Bucket Subdivision—SHP-2025-0001) -7- - Graphically depict the landscape buffer easements along S. Meridian Road and S. Main Street and reference the instrument number for the ACHD license agreement for the landscaping within the right of way in accordance with UDC 11-3B-7C.2a. - Include a note to reference the ownership and maintenance of the landscaping outside of the right of way for Lots 1 and 2, Block 1. - Modify note#3 to include Lot 2, Block 1 into the cross-access agreement (2024-074215) or amend the agreement to include Lot 2, Block 1. - Modify note#6 to include a blanket shared parking agreement between Lot 1 and Lot 2, Block 1. - Remove plat note#8. This would be better achieved outside of the plat as a separate deed restriction. - Add a plat note stating direct access to S. Meridian Road and S. Main Street is prohibited. - Add a plat note stating all lots are subject to private blanket easements for irrigation and drainage to the benefit of all lots. 3. Future development shall comply with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table H- 2B-3 for the C-G zoning district. 4. Staff s failure to cite specific ordinance provisions or conditions from the previous approvals noted above does not relieve the Applicant of responsibility for compliance. B. Ada County Highway District(ACHD) IV. FINDINGS A. Short Plat In consideration of a preliminary plat, combined preliminary and final plat, or short plat, the decision-making body shall make the following findings: I.

Due to the existing nature of the development with no proposed changes beyond the subdivision, an alternative compliance application is not required at this time. Future redevelopment will be subject to UDC 11-3B-2, which permits phased landscape improvements as cumulative expansions occur. The city will monitor any future redevelopment, including additions and new construction, to ensure compliance with these requirements.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN(HTTPS://WWW.MERIDIANCITY.ORGICOMPPLAN): FUTURE LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION: This property is designated General Industrial on the Future Land Use Map(FLUM). This designation allows a range of uses that support industrial and commercial activities. Industrial uses may include warehouses, storage units, light manufacturing, flex, and incidental retail and office uses. PROPOSED USE:The Applicant proposes to continue the previously approved indoor recreation facility use and expand the use/facility. The previous approval was for an indoor soccer center; the new use is an indoor beach volleyball and weight training facility. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES(hyps://www.meridiancity.or /g compplan): Goals,Objectives,&Action Items: Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this application and apply to the proposed use of this property(staff analysis in italics): • "Require all new and reconstructed parking lots to provide landscaping in internal islands and along streets."(2.01.04B) All new parking lot landscaping is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11- 3B-8C. • "Permit new development only where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time of final approval and development is contiguous to the City."(3.01.01F) City water and sewer service is available to be extended to the proposed addition with development. • "Increase year-round recreational programming and activities that encourage education, health and wellness, community involvement,and multi-sensory play."(4.03.01) The proposed indoor volleyball and weight training facility will provide year-round recreational opportunities for area residents. VI. STAFF ANALYSIS A. Development Agreement Modification(MDA): A Development Agreement(DA) (Inst. #97072405)was approved in 1997 with annexation of the subject property,which is part of the larger Medimont Subdivision(aka Stonebridge Business Park). Some,but not all,of the provisions in the DA apply to the subject property. The Applicant proposes a modification to the existing DA to enter into a new agreement for the subject property and remove the requirement for a buffer to adjacent residential land uses to the west,modification to the dimensional standards and other applicable provisions. Only the DA provisions applicable to the subject property are included below; all other provisions are not applicable. A legal description of the property subject to the new DA is included below in Section VIII.E. The following modifications are proposed to the existing DA provisions: (Changes shown in strike-out/underline format-Staff analysis in italics) • #4e—" easefnepA a4efig all other-residential uses adjaeen4 to the pr-epefty, and allow no ener-eaehmefit of this strip.„ The Applicant proposes to remove this provision. At the time the DA was adopted, the abutting property to the west of Lot 3, Block 1, Medimont Subdivision No. 1, was zoned R-40 and planned to develop with residential uses;subsequently, the property was rezoned to C-G and developed with a mix of commercial(non-residential) uses. Because there is no longer a need for the buffer, Staff is in agreement with excluding this provision from the new DA. • #4p—"Speeial Sethaek Requirements. As pfeseffted a4 p4he heafings, building sethaeks shall be five (5) feet per-stefy from the pr-epel4y!---- The minimum rear yard setback shall be tweftty ten 10 feet from the property line so as not to encroach in the irrigation pipe easement depicted on the Medimont Subdivision No. 1 plat. T ^*s 3 thfffflg 10,Bleek 2, shall have a mininium rear-yard sethaek of fiqfty(4 . All other setbacks shall be as required in the Zoning and Deye'^..mefft Or-d mane Unified Development Code." The Applicant requests the rear yard setback for the subject property is 10 feet instead of 20- feet. Because 10 feet accommodates the 10 foot wide irrigation pipe easement depicted on the plat and the 20 foot buffer to residential uses is no longer necessary, Staff is in agreement with the proposed reduced rear yard setback. Staff recommends the minimum side yard building setback of 5 foot per story is also removed because the current I-L dimensional standards do not require a minimum interior side setback. • #4s—" ° of the build rg i t» Staff recommends removal of this provision as the UDC no longer has restrictions on maximum lot coverage. Note: The building footprints of the existing and future structures have a 39%lot coverage. Staff has reviewed all other provisions in the DA and does not recommend any other provisions are carried over to the new DA. Staff recommends as a provision of the DA that future development is generally consistent with the site/landscape plans and conceptual elevations submitted with the subject application and complies with the conditions contained herein. B. Conditional Use Permit Modification (MCU): A conditional use permit(CUP-03-056)was approved in 2003 for Meridian Soccer Center for a 20,000 square foot(s.£)indoor soccer field and 3,000 s.f. office,restrooms and a small pro shop for the sale of soccer merchandise in the I-L zoning district. A modification to the existing Conditional Use Permit(CUP-03-056)is proposed to expand the previously approved indoor recreation facility use in the I-L zoning district in accord with UDC 11-5B-6G.A new 14,700 square foot(s.f.)building is proposed to the north of the existing building,which will contain sand courts for beach volleyball, a mezzanine with a weight and training room and offices, a waiting area,restrooms and a mechanical/utility room; eight(8) additional parking spaces are also proposed on the east side of the building.No additions to the existing building or changes to the existing site are proposed. The Applicant estimates that on a typical day and evening there will be approximately 30 patrons and two(2)employees within the primary building and 20 patrons and two(2) employees in the secondary building. The primary users of the facility will be people of all ages and the facility will be used from 9 am to 9 pm Monday through Friday and 9:00 am to 7:00 pm Saturday and Sunday. The heaviest periods of use for the facility are anticipated to be evenings and weekends. Tournaments are held in the existing building but will not be held in the new building. A property boundary adjustment(PBA-2024-0009 TVAC Beach Volleyball&Weight Training Facility)was recently tentatively approved between the subject property and the abutting property to the north to shift the northern property line an additional 75-feet to the north to accommodate the new building and parking, subject to completion of several tasks within one(1)year(i.e. by 9/23/2025) (see Record of Survey in Section VIII.D below). As a provision of the new DA, Staff recommends the Applicant receive final approval of the property boundary adjustment application prior to submittal of the Certificate of Zoning Compliance application. Specific Use Standards: There are specific use standards in the UDC that apply to the proposed use,as follows: (Staff analysis in italics) 11-4-3-2—Arts, Entertainment or Recreation Facility,Indoors and Outdoors: A. General standards. 1. All outdoor recreation areas and structures that are not fully enclosed shall maintain a minimum setback of one hundred(100) feet from any abutting residential districts. The playing areas of golf courses, including golf tees, fairways, and greens,are an exception to this standard. No outdoor recreation areas are proposed; all activities will take place within the building. 2. No outdoor event or activity center shall be located within fifty(50) feet of any property line and shall operate only between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m.No outdoor events or activities are proposed. 3. Accessory uses including,but not limited to,retail, equipment rental,restaurant and drinking establishments,may be allowed if designed to serve patrons of the use only. The Applicant shall comply with this standard. 4. Outdoor speaker systems shall comply with section 11-3A-13, "outdoor speaker systems", of this title.No outdoor speaker systems are proposed. B. Additional standards for swimming pools.Any outdoor swimming pool shall be completely enclosed within a six-foot non-scalable fence that meets the requirements of the building code in accord with title 10, chapter 1, of this Code.A swimming pool is not proposed. C. Additional standards for outdoor stage or musical venue. Any use with a capacity of one hundred(100) seats or more or within one thousand(1,000) feet of a residence or a residential district shall be subject to approval of a conditional use permit. No outdoor stage or musical venue is proposed. D. [Outdoor lighting.] Outdoor lighting, including lighted fields,designed for the site shall comply with Section 11-3A-11, "outdoor lighting," of this title. These standards may be modified through the approval of a conditional use permit. The Applicant shall comply with these standards. Dimensional Standards: Future development should be consistent with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2C-3 for the I-L zoning district, except as otherwise restricted in the DA. The proposed plans demonstrate compliance with the minimum dimensional standards in the UDC and in the DA. Access: Access is provided to the site via E. Piper Ct., an existing local street. Staff recommends a cross-access easement agreement is required with the abutting property to the north to facilitate cross- parking. Parking: Off-street parking is required in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3C-6B.2, which requires one (1) space for every 2,000 s.f. of gross floor area. Based on 37,700 s.f. (14,700 s.f. for the new structure and 23,000 s.f. for the existing structure), a minimum of 19 spaces are required for the overall site; a total of 65 spaces are proposed at a ratio of 1:580 s.f., exceeding the minimum standard by 46 spaces. A shared parking agreement was required with neighboring businesses in the Medimont Business Park with the previous CUP application;however,the Applicant does not have a copy of the agreement and believes one may never have been executed. The Applicant is in the process of completing a shared parking and access easement agreement with the abutting property to the north (Dutchman Motorsports). This will allow cross-access between properties and provide more parking for the proposed use if needed during the heaviest periods of use in the evenings and weekends.

STAFF ANALYSIS Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code(UDC) A. General Overview The subject property is currently zoned RUT in Ada County and designated as Medium Density Residential(MDR)on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM)contained in the City's Comprehensive Plan. The MDR designation allows for dwellings units at gross densities of three(3)to eight(8) dwelling units per acre. The Applicant proposes to annex the property into the City with R-8 zoning and subdivide it into seven(7)building lots for the development of single-family residential detached homes at a gross density of 3.74 units per acre consistent with the use and density desired in the MDR designation in the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed R-8 zoning is consistent with the zoning of adjacent surrounding properties, also zoned R-8. Staff recommends a Development Agreement(DA)is required as a provision of annexation that includes the provisions in Section IV. Lots in the proposed subdivision range in size from 4,399 to 7,157 square feet(s.f.)with homes ranging in size from 1,872 to 2,265 s.f. The subject property is an enclave, surrounded by City annexed land on the abutting three(3) sides. Comprehensive Plan policy#3.03.01E encourages infill development. Table 4:Proiect Overview Description Details History None Phasing Plan 1 phase Residential Units (7)single-family detached units Open Space None required Amenities None required Physical Features None Acreage 1.87-acres Lots 7 building/1 common Density 3.74 units/acre(gross) B. History None C. Site Development and Use Analysis 1. Existing Structures/Site Improvements (UDC 11-1): There is an existing home and accessory structures on the site that will be removed with development. These structures are required to be removed prior to the City Engineer's signature on the final plat. The existing well is required to be abandoned; proof of abandonment must be provided to the City Public Works Department. The well may be used for pressurized irrigation purposes. 2. Proposed Use Analysis (UDC 11-2): The proposed single-family residential detached dwellings are listed as a principal permitted in the R-8 zoning district,per UDC Table 11-2A-2. 3. Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2): Future development is required to comply with the dimensional standards for the R-8 zoning district listed in UDC Table 11-2A-6. City of Meridian I Department Report 111. Staff Analysis The proposed lots comply with the minimum property size standard of 4,000 s.£ and the minimum street frontage of 40-feet.Future structures on the proposed lots must comply with the minimum setback requirements and maximum building height for the district. The proposed development is consistent with Comprehensive Plan policy#3.03.04B: `Ensure existing county enclaves provide necessary urban-level transportation and utility infrastructure as part of the annexation process." D. Design Standards Analysis 1. Qualified Open Space&Amenities (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3G): Because the site is below five(5) acres in size, it's exempt from the common open space and site amenity standards listed in UDC 11-3G. 2. Landscaping (UDC 11-3B): i. Landscape buffers along streets A minimum 25-foot wide street buffer is required along N. Black Cat Rd., an arterial street, landscaped with a variety of trees, shrubs, lawn or other vegetative groundcover as set forth in UDC 11-313-7C. The buffer should be measured from the ultimate back of curb location as anticipated by ACHD. Calculations should be included on a revised landscape plan that demonstrates compliance with the required standards. If the unimproved street right-of-way is ten (10)feet or greater from the edge of pavement to edge of sidewalk or property line,the developer is required to maintain a ten-foot compacted shoulder meeting the construction standards of the transportation authority and landscape the remainder with lawn or other vegetative ground cover; landscaping improvements within the right-of-way shall require a license agreement between the property owner and the transportation authority per UDC 11-3B-7C.5. ii. Tree preservation Existing trees 4-inch caliper or greater that are removed from the site during development may require mitigation(see UDC 11-3B-10 for more information). There are some large existing deciduous and coniferous trees on the site around the existing home that will likely need to be removed with development.1flelude mitigation information and ealeulations on the A revised landscape plan was submitted, along with a tree health assessment letter,that notes a total of 99.5 caliper inches of trees are required for mitigation that demonstrates compliance with the standards in UDC 11-3B-10.C.5. iii. Storm integration Stormwater integration is required in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B- 11C. A Geotechnical Investigation report was submitted with this application. iv. Pathway landscaping No pathways are proposed;however, Staff recommends a micro-path connection is provided between the sidewalks along W.Torano Ct. and N.Black Cat Rd.,which requires a minimum 5-foot wide strip of landscaping along each side of the pathway with landscaping in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-12C.Include calculations that demonstrate compliance with the required standards. 3. Parking (UDC 11-3C): i. Residential parking analysis City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis Off-street vehicle parking is required to be provided for residential uses based on the number of bedrooms per unit(see UDC Table 11-3C-6 for more information). On-street vehicle parking is also available as extra parking to serve residents and guests. 4. Building Elevations (Comp Plan,Architectural Standards Manual): Three(3)color conceptual building elevations were submitted for the proposed single-family detached structures within the development as shown in Section VII.G. Building materials are proposed to consist of a mix of horizontal cottage lap,vertical board&batten and shake lap hardi-board siding with stone and brick wainscot accents and 30-year architectural shingles. Design review is not required for single-family detached structures; however,because structures on Lots 3 and 5,Block 1 will be highly visible from N.Black Cat Rd.,an arterial street, Staff does recommend that the sides of homes on these lots incorporate articulation through changes in two or more of the following: modulation(e.g. projections,recesses, step-backs,pop-outs),bays,banding,porches,balconies,material types,or other integrated architectural elements to break up monotonous wall planes and roof lines that are visible from the subject public street.Single-story structures are exempt from this requirement. 5. Fencing (UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7): Existing fencing is depicted on the landscape plan;new fencing is not depicted. The UDC (11-3A-7A.7)requires the developer to construct fencing abutting pathways and common open space lots to distinguish common from private areas. Therefore,fencing should be depicted on a revised landscape plan along the back side of the street buffer along N. Black Cat Rd.and along the northern and southern property boundaries adjacent to common open space in adjacent developments if the existing fencing is removed,in accord with the standards in UDC 11-3A-7A. 6. Parkways (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-17): Parkways are not proposed within the development,nor are they required. The proposed development is consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan policies: • #2.02.02C: Support infill development that does not negatively impact the abutting, existing development. • #2.02.02F:Ensure that new development within existing residential neighborhoods is cohesive and complementary in design and construction. • #3.07.01C:Require appropriate landscaping, buffers, and noise mitigation with new development along transportation corridors (setback, vegetation, low walls, berms, etc.). E. Transportation Analysis The following information on planned improvements in the area and level of service planning thresholds for Black Cat Rd. is from the ACHD report: City of Meridian I Department Report 111. Staff Analysis ACHD Planned Improvements 1. Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)!Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP): • The intersection of Black Cat Road and McMillan Road is scheduled in the IFYWP to be reconstructed as a multi-lane roundabout with 2-lanes on the north leg, 2-lanes on the south, 1-lane east, and 1-lane on the west leg in 2028. • Black Cat Road and Bridge#1394 is scheduled in the IFYWP to be reconstructed and widened in 2028. • Black Cat Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 5-lanes from Ustick Road to McMillan Road between 2031 and 2035. • McMillan Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 3-lanes from Black Cat Road to Ten Mile Road between 2031 and 2035. • McMillan Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 3-lanes from McDermott Road to Black Cat Road between 2036 and 2040. Level of Service Planning Thresholds 1. Condition of Area Roadways Traffic Count is based on Vehicles per hour(VPH) Roadway Frontage Functional PM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour Classification Traffic Count Level of Service Black Cat Road 312-feet Minor Arterial 471 Better than"E" **Torana Street 50-feet Local NIA N/A *Acceptable level of service for a two-lane minor arterial is"E"(575 VPH). **ACHD does not set level of service thresholds for local streets. ACHD is requiring additional right-of-way(ROW)to be dedicated for the expansion of N. Black Cat Rd.,totaling 50-feet from the centerline of the road abutting the site. A Traffic Impact Study was not required. Public transit is not available to this site. 1. Access (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-3, UDC 11-3H-4): Access is proposed via the extension of W. Torana St., an existing local stub street, at the west boundary of the site; direct access is not proposed or allowed via N. Black Cat Rd. 2. Multiuse Pathways (UDC 11-3A-5): No multi-use pathways are proposed, and none are required per the Pathways Master Plan. 3. Pathways (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-8): No pathways are proposed;however, Staff recommends a sidewalk connection is provided between the sidewalks along the W.Torana St. cul-de-sac and N.Black Cat for pedestrian connectivity and in accord with UDC 11-6C-3B.4b,which requires a pedestrian connection due to the length of the dead-end street(i.e.W.Torana St.). 4. Sidewalks (UDC 11-3A-17): All sidewalks are required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-17. A 5-foot wide attached sidewalk is proposed along W. Torana St., a local street, and a 5-foot wide detached sidewalk is proposed along N. Black Cat Rd. an arterial street, in accord with the required standards.Note:Because a 5-foot wide sidewalk exists to the north and south, Staff does not recommend a 10 foot wide sidewalk is required. The sidewalk to the north of this site along N. Black Cat Rd. does not extend all the way to the subject property—it stops at the common lot in Oakcreek Subdivision where the West Tap Sublateral/Settlers Northside Canal is located(see photo below). There is an asphalt City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis pathway that exists on the northern portion of the common lot but stops at the south side of the headgate,creating a 15+/-gap. Staff recommends as a provision of annexation in the DA that an asphalt pathway is constructed off-site to the north to the existing pathway. This recommendation is supported by the following Comprehensive Plan policies: • #6.01.01I, Work with Ada County Highway District(ACHD) to identify gaps in the sidewalk system and pursue sidewalk construction for existing substandard streets. • #6.01.02D, Consider needed sidewalk,pathway, landscaping, and lighting improvements with all land use decisions. - - a 5. Subdivision Regulations (UDC 11-6): i. Dead end streets At 545-feet,the proposed street(W. Torana St.)exceeds the maximum length standard of 500-feet for dead-end streets in UDC 11-6C-3B.4a. Per UDC 11-6C-3B.4b, Council may approve a dead-end street up to 750-feet in length where an emergency access is proposed or where there is a physical barrier such as an arterial roadway; and where a pedestrian connection is provided from the street to an adjacent existing or planned pedestrian facility. In this case, an arterial street(i.e.N. Black Cat Rd.)abuts this site to the east creating a physical barrier. If Council approves the length of the proposed street, Staff recommends a pedestrian connection is provided from the sidewalk along N.Black Cat Rd.through the common area to the sidewalk along W.Torana St. ii. Block face The proposed block faces comply with UDC standards for such. The proposed development is consistent with Comprehensive Plan policy#3.03.04B, "Ensure existing county enclaves provide necessary urban-level transportation and utility infrastructure as part of the annexation process." F. Services Analysis See Service Accessibility Report in Section VILC below. 1. Waterways (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-6): All waterways, except natural waterways,are required to be piped unless improved as a water amenity or linear open space, in which case they may be left open,as set forth in UDC 1I- 3A-6. There is an open canal(i.e.West Tap Sublateral/Settlers Northside Canal)that runs alongside this property on the abutting property to the north that is on a common lot in Oakcreek Subdivision No. 3. City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis 2. Pressurized Irrigation(UDC 11-3A-15): Underground pressurized irrigation water is required to be provided in each development as set forth in UDC 11-3A-15. 3. Storm Drainage (UDC 11-3A-18): An adequate storm drainage system is required in accord with the adopted standards, specifications and ordinances; design and construction shall follow Best Management Practice as adopted by the City per UDC 11-3A-18. 4. Utilities (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-21): All utilities for the proposed development are required to be installed in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-21. Water and sewer service are available at the site. Main lines are required to be extended to and through the subject property with development. The developer should coordinate main size and routing with the Public Works Dept. and execute standard forms of easements for any mains that are required to provide service. The proposed development is consistent with Comprehensive Plan policy#2.02.02,Maximize public services by prioritizing infill development of vacant and underdeveloped parcels within the City over parcels on the fringe. IV. CITY/AGENCY COMMENTS& CONDITIONS A. Meridian Planning Division 1. A Development Agreement(DA)is required as a provision of annexation of this property. Prior to approval of the annexation ordinance, a DA shall be entered into between the City of Meridian,the property owner(s) at the time of annexation ordinance adoption,and the developer.

MEMO TO CITY COUNCIL Request to Include Topic on the City Council Agenda From: Cassandra Schiffler,Arts & Culture Meeting Date: March 112025 Coordinator Presenter: N/A Estimated Time: 0.5 minutes Topic: Art Purchase Agreement for City Hall Paintings Recommended Council Action: Approve Artwork Purchase Agreement for the Mayor's signature. Background: Artist Claire Remsberg created these three original paintings for a recent traffic box public art commission. The Public Art Committee was particularly impressed by the artwork and its relevance to Meridian.They discussed a possible purchase with available MAPS funds. In their 12-10-24 meeting,the Public Art Committee voted to recommend acquisition of the work.Their recommendation was brough to the full Arts Commission,which on 1-9-25 unanimously voted to recommend a purchase and acquisition of the paintings for City Hall's art collection as they are of high quality,by a very reputable local artist,and they prominently feature Meridian specific imagery and themes. The Arts Commission originally recommended the acquisition for the purchase price of$3,620,which is the artist's standard painting sales price. However,upon contract negotiations,the artist was unaware of the City's requirements for the relinquishment of copyrights and full VARA(Visual Artist Rights Act) rights. Contract negotiations ensued,and the artist requested an additional fee for the copyrights and VARA waivers. Strategic Goals Alignment. It meets MAC's Strategic Plan goals for Public Art,as laid out in Public Art Goal 1: "Create opportunities for all Meridian residents and visitors to experience public art" Budget: No budget amendment is necessary.This project uses existing MAPS funds (Meridian Art in Public Spaces). (The MAPS Ordinance 15-1642 established the method of appropriating general funds to install visual,tangible artworks for installation on public property in Meridian's public spaces.) Installation and Location:Artworks will be framed. Installation is planned for the first floor of City Hall,in the hallway to the north of council chambers.See mock up imagery below: (Art installation mockup imagery on next page) r_ J., �,i i � � �� .4.;.V^ �� t� 1 It II I 4+mh5� lii A 1 _ � ��� � ..

In our opinion,the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,the respective financial position of the governmental activities,the business-type activities,the discretely presented component unit, and each major fund of the City, as of September 30, 2024, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinions We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. What inspires you,inspires us.I eidebailly.com 1 877 W.Main St.,Ste.800 1 Boise,ID 83702-5858 1 T 208.344.7150 1 F 208.344.7435 EOE In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate,that raise substantial doubt about the City's ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate,they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we: • Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. • Conclude whether, in our judgment,there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or 2 historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with GAAS, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries,the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

In our opinion, the supplementary information are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated February 18, 2025, on our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements, and other matters.

Overview of the Financial Statements This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial statements.The basic financial statements have four components—government-wide financial statements,fund financial statements, notes to the financial statements, and required supplementary information.

The government-wide financial statements are divided into two categories: Statement of Net Position—Reports the City's assets (what the City owns) and liabilities (what the City owes) with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating.

Funds may be required by law or may be established by the City Council. At the end of a fiscal year the unreserved fund balance serves as a useful measure of a government's net resources. 6 City of Meridian, Idaho Management's Discussion and Analysis September 30, 2024 The City has the following funds: Governmental Funds: These funds encompass the City's basic services, public safety, community planning and development, administration, and parks and recreation. Governmental fund financial statements focus on short- term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, an accounting approach known as the flow of current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Information provided by these statements provides a short-term view of what resources will be available to meet needs. The City has two governmental funds: • General Fund—The general fund is the general operating fund of the City. It derives most of its income from property tax and funds the operations of the City. It includes the Development Services Fund, used to account for revenue and expenses of the community planning and development function, and the Public Safety Fund used to set aside funds for police and fire capital projects. It also includes the Impact Fee Fund used to account for park and public safety impact fee revenue and capital acquisitions. • Capital Projects Fund—The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition of major capital facilities. The City has one proprietary fund: Enterprise Fund (Business-Type Activities): User fees finance activities in this fund.The water and sewer utilities and all the activities necessary to support their operation are accounted for in this fund. Accounting for this fund is the same as a private business on a full accrual basis. The City has one fiduciary fund: The City established the "City of Meridian Employee Benefits Plan Trust" (the Trust) in January 2020. All health claims are paid from this Trust and all plan contributions are deposited into the Trust.The Trust uses a calendar year basis as its fiscal year and the most recent audited financial statements are presented as part of this financial statement(fiscal year ended December 31, 2023). FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANALYSIS Governmental Funds The General Fund had an ending fund balance of$91,614,558 for fiscal year 2024, an increase from the ending fund balance at the end of fiscal year 2023,which was$87,218,652.This represented an overall increased in ending fund balance of 5%. The Capital Project Fund ending fund balance decreased from fiscal year 2023 to fiscal year 2024,to finish the year at$11,043,749.The decrease was seen primarily in the cash and cash equivalents balance which decreased by approximately$1.9 million, as the City utilized its financial resources to continue providing improvements to local area infrastructure, including the continued development of Discovery Park. 7 City of Meridian, Idaho Management's Discussion and Analysis September 30, 2024 General Fund revenues increased significantly by approximately$3.5 million to finish the year at$100,516,510. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in property taxes (increase of$2.2 million), an increase in interest earnings (increase of$776 thousand), and an decrease in the impact fee revenue amounts (increase of $340 thousand). Capital Project Fund revenue amounts decreased from fiscal year 2023 by$74,892, which was due to the reduction of available funds in the Capital Project Fund to invest. Expenditures for the General Fund increased by$3.5 million, which was attributable to increases in General Government, Public Safety, and Parks& Recreation segments of the City. Public Safety and General Government Safety for the General Fund increased from fiscal year 2023 by$10.0 million to finish the year at$71.9 million. For the Capital Project Fund, expenditures decreased by$7.0 million,to finish the year at$2,601,752, which again demonstrates the City's investment in providing and maintaining the City's building and infrastructure assets, as well as continued planned projects for citizens, including Discovery Park. Enterprise Fund (Business-Type Activities) Ending Net Position for the Business-Type activities increased significantly from fiscal year 2023,to finish the year at$524,927,893.There were numerous contributing factors that led to the increase including an increase in the cash and cash equivalents balance (increase of$5.4 million) and an increase in the capital asset amounts (increase of$39.5 million). Operating revenues for the Business-Type activities increased due to an overall increase in water and sewer sales, an increase of$2.5 million from fiscal year 2023.The largest increase was$2.3 million for charges for services, which was due to an increase in the number of overall customers being served. Nonoperating revenues decreased by$2.8 million from 2023.The largest decrease was in the connections assessment fees and donations amount, which decreased by$1.9 million from 2023. Expenditures for the Business-Type activities also increased from fiscal year 2023 by$2.9 million,to finish the year at$40.4 million.The largest increase was in personnel services,which represents the City's investment in its people. Fiduciary-Type Activities The Trust uses a calendar year basis as its fiscal year and the most recent audited financial statements are presented as part of this financial statement(fiscal year ended December 31, 2023). Total assets ended the year at$3,097,982. Amounts represented cash on hand, receivables to the Trust and prepaid expense. Total Liabilities ended the year at$356,835. Amounts represent the claims incurred but not reported and claims payable as of December 31, 2023. 8 City of Meridian, Idaho Management's Discussion and Analysis September 30, 2024 During the year ended December 31, 2023, additions to the Trust totaled $8,389,054.

GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS Budget to Actual comparisons are found following the Notes to the Financial Statements within the Supplemental section of this Audit Report.

The total actual personnel expense for the 2024 fiscal year was $64,886,030 as compared to the final budget of $69,196,981.The primary reason for the variance between actual and budget is related to the amount of vacancy positions that were not filled during the fiscal year. The total actual operating expense was $24,969,224 as compared to the final budget of$43,219,593.The largest budget to actual variance for the operating expenses is due to City receiving a Federal Grant that was not expensed during the fiscal year.

Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements (i.e.,the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government.The effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities,which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities which rely,to a significant extent, on fees and charges for support. 28 City of Meridian, Idaho Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2024 The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment, grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment.Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting,and Financial Statement Presentation The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned, and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose,the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. Property taxes,franchise taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government. The City reports the following major governmental funds; General Fund-The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund. Capital Projects Fund-The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed by proprietary funds). 29 City of Meridian, Idaho Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2024 The City reports the following major proprietary fund; Enterprise Fund—The Enterprise Fund is used to account for water, sewer, and trash operations financed and operated in a manner similar to private business.The intent of the governing body is that costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges.Additionally,the governing body may have decided that periodic determination of revenues earned, expenditures incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability or other purposes. The City reports the following other fund types; Fiduciary Fund—The Employee Benefit Plan Trust is used to account for the City's self-insured health insurance. Plan assets are dedicated to providing health benefits to current employees. As a general rule,the effect of inter-fund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between various functions of the government when elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned. Amounts reported as program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and products and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations.The principal operating revenues of the City's enterprise funds are charges for services to customers for water and sewer sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets.All revenues and expenses, such as fees property owners pay to connect to the utility system, not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows,the City considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Property Taxes Receivable Within the governmental fund financial statement, property taxes are recognized as revenue when the amount of taxes levied is measurable, and proceeds are available to finance current period expenditures. 30 City of Meridian, Idaho Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2024 Available tax proceeds include property tax receivables expected to be collected within sixty days after year end. Property taxes attach as liens on properties on January 1, and are levied in September of each year.Tax notices are sent to taxpayers during November, with tax payments scheduled to be collected on or before December 20. Taxpayers may pay all or one half of their tax liability on or before December 20, and if one half of the amount is paid, they may pay the remaining balance by the following June 20. Since the City is on a September 30 fiscal year end, property taxes levied during September for the succeeding year's collection are recorded as deferred inflow of resources at the City's year end and recognized as revenue in the following fiscal year. Ada County bills and collects taxes for the City. Customer Services Receivable Amounts owed to the City for customer services are due from area residents and businesses and relate to water, sewer and trash services provided by the City.The receivable is reported net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. An allowance is reported when accounts are proven to be uncollectible.The allowance for uncollectible accounts was $30,000 as of September 30, 2024. Deposits and Prepaid Expenses Deposits and prepaid expenses consist of deposits paid by developers for various improvements as well as payments to vendors that reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are reported as prepaid expenses. Lease Receivable Lease receivables are recorded by the City as the present value of future lease payments expected to be received from the lessee during the lease term, reduced by any provision for estimated uncollectible amounts. Lease receivables are subsequently reduced over the life of the lease as cash is received in the applicable reporting period.The present value of future lease payments to be received are discounted based on the interest rate the City charges the lessee. Capital Assets Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets (e.g., parks, wells, water and sewer lines and similar items) are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial individual cost of$50,000 and over for machinery and equipment, $100,000 for intangibles, $250,000 and over for buildings, land improvements, and infrastructure, and an estimated useful life in excess of three years. Land acquisitions regardless of cost are recorded as capital assets. All material fixed assets are valued at cost. Donated fixed assets are valued at their acquisition value on the date donated. GASB requires the City capitalize and report intangible assets which includes the City's easement amounts.To value easements,the City uses the summation method,which closely looks at the impact of an easement on the total property value.The percentages agreed to are 26%for sewage and 10%for subsurface, resulting in an average easement assessment percentage of 18%. 31 City of Meridian, Idaho Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2024 Depreciation is recorded by use of the straight-line method.The book value of each asset is reduced by equal amounts over its estimated useful life as follows: Estimated Useful Life (Years) Buildings 30 Sewer plant 25 Sewer and water lines 50 Improvements other than buildings 10 Equipment and software 5 Public domain infrastructure 25 Maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are charged to operations as incurred. When an asset is disposed of, accumulated depreciation is deducted from the original cost and any gain or loss arising from its disposal is credited or charged to operations. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest costs incurred during construction of capital assets of business-type activities are capitalized when they are material. No interest costs were included as part of the cost of capital assets under construction in the current year. As of September 30, 2024, no capital assets were considered to be impaired, and no impairment loss was recognized for the year ended September 30, 2024. Right to use subscription IT assets are recognized at the subscription commencement date and represent the City's right to use the underlying IT asset for the subscription term. Right to use subscription IT assets are measured in the initial value of the subscription liability plus any payments made to the vendor at the commencement of the subscription term, less any subscription incentives received from the vendor at or before the commencement of the subscription term, plus any capitalizable initial implementation costs necessary to place the subscription asset into service. Right to use subscription IT assets are amortized over the shorter of the subscription term or useful life of the underlying asset using the straight-line method.The amortization periods range from 3-5 years. Lease Liabilities and Subscription-based IT Arrangements A lease and/or subscription-based information technology arrangement (SBITA) is defined as a contractual that conveys control of the right to use another entity's nonfinancial asset, for a minimum contractual period of greater than one year, in an exchange or exchange-like transaction. Lease liabilities represent the City's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments expected to be made during the lease term.The present value of lease payments are discounted based on a borrowing rate determined by the City. 32 City of Meridian, Idaho Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2024 Subscription Liabilities represent the City's obligation to make subscription payments arising from the subscription contract. Subscription liabilities are recognized at the subscription commencement date based on the present value of future subscription payments expected to be made during the subscription term.The present value of the subscription payments are discounted on a borrowing rate determined by the City. Compensated Absences Payable The City provides vacation and sick leave to its full-time employees. Earned vacation is paid to employees when taken or paid to employees or beneficiaries upon the employees'termination, retirement or death.The City does not pay earned sick pay upon the employees'termination, retirement or death for non-union employees. The Fire Department union members are paid ten percent of their sick leave accrual upon the employees' voluntary termination, 25% upon employees' retirement, and 100% upon employees' death.The amount of unused vacation accumulated by City employees is accrued as an expense when incurred in the Proprietary Fund, which uses the accrual basis of accounting. In the Governmental Funds, only the amount that normally would be liquidated with expendable available financial resources is accrued as current year expenditures. Unless it is anticipated that compensated absences will be used in excess of a normal year's accumulation, no additional expenditure is accrued. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources The statement of net position includes a separate section for deferred outflows of resources.The separate financial statement element represents a consumption of net position that applies to future period(s) and will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense) until then.The City's deferred outflow of resources is its pension obligation.The pension obligation is the difference between projected and actual investment earnings, the changes in assumptions,the change the City's proportionate share of the City's net pension liability, and the contributions subsequent to the measurement date of the City's net pension liability. In addition to the liabilities,the statement of net position includes a separate section for deferred inflows of resources.This separate financial statement element represents an acquisition of net position that applies to future period(s) and will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until then.The City has three items that currently qualify for reporting in the category:the deferred pension obligation, amounts relating to the opioid settlement, and deferred inflows expected from leasing arrangements.The employer deferred pension obligation results from the difference between the expected and actual experience of the pension plan and the net difference between projected and actual investment earnings on the pension plan investments. Opioid settlement amounts are recognized as a deferred inflow of resources until such time an eligible expenditure is incurred. Lease-related deferred inflows are resources not yet available to be recognized based on the provisions of the lease arrangement. Advanced Revenue The City reports advanced revenues on its Statement of Net Position and Fund Balance Sheet. Advanced revenues arise when resources are received by the City before it has a legal claim to them, as when grant monies are received prior to the occurrence of qualifying expenditures. In subsequent periods, when the City has a legal claim to the resources,the liability for advanced revenue is removed from the balance sheet and the revenue is recognized. 33 City of Meridian, Idaho Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2024 Pensions For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and pension expense offset, information about the fiduciary net position of the Public Employee Retirement System of Idaho Base Plan (Base Plan) and additions to/deductions from the Base Plan's fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the Base Plan. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. Net Position For government-wide reporting as well as in the proprietary fund,the difference between assets and deferred outflows of resources less liabilities and deferred inflows or resources is called net position. Net position is comprised of three components: investment in capital assets, restricted and unrestricted. Net investment in capital assets—consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and liability amounts relating to the subscription liabilities. Restricted net position—consists of restricted assets reduced by liabilities and deferred inflows of resources related to those assets, if applicable. Assets are reported as restricted when constraints are placed on asset use either by external parties or by law through constitutional provision or enabling legislature. Unrestricted net position—consists of the net amount of the assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources that does not meet the definition of the two preceding categories. The City may fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted sources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted net position and unrestricted net position in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, as flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the City's policy to consider restricted net position to have been depleted before unrestricted net position is applied. Fund Balances Fund balance of governmental funds is reported in various categories based on the nature of any limitation requiring the use for specific purposes. Fund balances in the governmental balance sheet are categorized as follows: Non-spendable-when the resources cannot be spent because they are either legally or contractually required to be maintained intact, or are in a non-spendable form such as inventories, prepaid accounts, and assets held for resale. Restricted-when the constraints placed on the use of resources are either: (a) externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments: or(b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. 34 City of Meridian, Idaho Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2024 Committed-when the City Council passes an ordinance or resolution that places specific constraints on how the resources may be used.The City Council can modify or rescind the ordinance or resolution at any time through passage of an additional ordinance or resolution, respectively. Assigned-when it is intended for a specific purpose and the authority to "assign" is delegated to the City's Chief Financial Officer. Unassigned-fund balance is the residual classification for the General Fund.This classification represents fund balance that has not been restricted, committed, assigned, or deemed as non-spendable within the General Fund.This classification is also used to report any negative fund balance amounts in other governmental funds. The City Council adopted a Fund Balance Policy that establishes a practice of reserving four months of the current year budget of personnel and recurring annual operating costs as minimum fund balance needed to ensure sufficient cash flow to meet the City's obligations.This reserve will be in the unassigned fund balance. This policy also recommends a spending order of restricted, committed, assigned and then unassigned unless Council approves otherwise. Risk Management The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to theft of, damage to, or destruction of assets.The City participates in a public entity risk pool, Idaho Counties Risk Management Pool (ICRMP),for liability, medical and disability insurance.The City's exposure to loss from its participation in ICRMP is limited only to the extent of their deductible. Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenditures or expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 35 City of Meridian, Idaho Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2024 Note 2 - Cash and Investments Cash and investments as of September 30, 2024 are classified in the accompanying financial statements as follows: Cash and cash equivalents $ 132,242,607 Cash and cash equivalents- restricted 25,975,725 Total cash and cash equivalents $ 158,218,332 Investments $ 71,720,230 Investments- restricted 2,355,937 Total investments $ 74,076,167 Cash -fiduciary activities $ 2,950,437 Total cash -fiduciary activities $ 2,950,437 Investments Authorized by the State of Idaho and the City of Meridian's Investment Policy Investment types that are authorized for the City of Meridian by the Idaho Code and the City's investment policy are as follows: 1. Local, State and U.S. Agency Bonds 2. U. S. Agency Securities 3. Certificates of Deposit The City also participates in the State of Idaho Local Investment Pool (LGIP) and the State of Idaho Diversified Bond Fund (DBF). Both the LGIP and the DBF are regulated by Idaho Code under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of Idaho.The Pools are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other regulatory body.The State Treasurer does not provide any legally binding guarantees to support the value of the shares to participants. The LGIP is a low risk investment pool with high liquidity.Therefore,the City's investment in the pool is reported as a cash equivalent in the accompanying financial statements as it does not meet the definition of an investment.The LGIP is not currently rated by a nationally recognized rating agency.The funds are invested in short-term investments in the priority order of safety, liquidity, and yield. 36 City of Meridian, Idaho Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2024 The DBF invests in longer term investment vehicles with higher returns over time than the LGIP.The DBF is not currently rated by a nationally recognized rating agency. However, the investment guidelines require that funds be invested in high quality securities that provide a high level of return,with a reasonable level of risk while meeting or exceeding the Barclay's Capital Intermediate A+Aggregate Fixed Income Index.The City invests money in the DBF that it does not expect to need within the next three to five years.The City's investment in the DBF is reported based on its pro-rata share of the fair market value provided by the fund for the entire portfolio. Fair Value Hierarchy Investments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Recurring fair value measurements are those that GASB Statements require or permit in the statement of net position at the end of each reporting period. Fair value measurements are categorized based on the valuation inputs used to measure an asset's fair value.The following provides a summary of the hierarchy used to measure fair value. • Level 1—Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. • Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities. • Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which significant valuation drivers are observable. The City's investment at September 30, 2024 are valued using the net assets value (NAV) per share, as noted below. Investments valued using the NAV generally do not have readily obtainable market values and are instead valued based on the City's pro-rata share of the pool's fair value of the underlying assets. Investments measured at the net asset value (NAV) State of Idaho Diversified Bond Fund (DBF) $ 74,076,168 Total investments at NAV $ 74,076,168 Oversight for the Diversified Bond Fund is with the Idaho State Treasurer and Idaho Code, which defines allowable investments. In general,the investment guidelines require that funds be invested in high quality securities in a manner that provides higher total return than the shorter pools given a reasonable level of risk measured over a long period. 37 City of Meridian, Idaho Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2024 Securities in DBF are shared positions valued at current market values.The City values these investments based on information provided by the State of Idaho Treasurer's Office.The following table presents the unfunded commitments, redemption frequency and the redemption notice period for the City's investments measured at the NAV: Investments Measured at the NAV Unfunded Redemption Redemption Fair Value Commitments Frequency Notice Period State of Idaho Diversified Bond Fund (DBF) $ 74,076,168 None Monthly 5-25 days Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely impact the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment,the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates.This risk can be managed using a calculation called duration that uses various inputs such as yield and years until maturity to estimate interest rate risk. Generally,the higher the duration number, the higher the risk.The City manages exposure to interest rate risk by purchasing a combination of long and short-term investments.The City manages the portfolio so it is not necessary to sell securities before maturity.The City's policy does not limit the duration of the investments. Investment Type Fair Value Rating Duration Idaho Diversified Bond Fund (DBF) $ 74,076,168 not rated 2.34 Idaho Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP) 134,962,330 not rated 0.23 years Money market funds 5,140,122 not rated Other cash amounts 18,115,879 Total cash and investments $ 232,294,499 Credit Risk Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment.This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.The City's investment policy is consistent with the State Code related to credit risk. Concentration of Credit Risk When investments are concentrated in one issuer this concentration represents increased risk of potential loss. The GASB has adopted a principal that governments should provide note disclosure when five percent of the entity's total investments are concentrated in any one issuer. Investments in obligations specifically guaranteed by the U.S. Government, mutual funds, and other pooled investments are exempt from disclosure.The City's investment policy has no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer. Other than State Investment Pools, no single issuer exceeded 5% or more of the City's total investments. 38 City of Meridian, Idaho Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2024 Custodial Credit Risk Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in possession of an outside party.The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that in the event of the failure of the counterparty(e.g. broker-dealer)to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. At year end,the carrying amount of the City's cash deposits was$158,218,332 and the bank balance was $158,072,758. Of the bank balance $250,000 was covered by federal depository insurance, $5,140,122 was collateralized with securities held at the Federal Home Bank of Seattle for First Interstate Bank and pledged to the City of Meridian, $134,962,330 was held by the State of Idaho Local Group Investment Pool, and the remainder of the City's deposits of$18,220,396 with First Interstate Bank are secured in an undivided collateral pool for public agencies. It is the City's policy to minimize exposure to custodial credit risk with investments by requiring that to the extent possible they be identified as to City of Meridian ownership and be held in the City's name.The City further reduces risk by confining investments to insured levels in any one institution.

PERSI issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and the required supplementary information for PERSI.That report may be obtained on the PERSI website at www.persi.idaho.gov. Pension Benefits The Base Plan provides retirement, disability, death and survivor benefits of eligible members or beneficiaries. Benefits are based on members'years of service, age, and highest average salary. Members become fully vested in their retirement benefits with five years of credited service (5 months for elected or appointed officials). Members are eligible for retirement benefits upon attainment of the ages specified for their employment classification.The annual service retirement allowance for each month of credited service is 2% (2.3%for police/firefighters) of the average monthly salary for the highest consecutive 42 months. The benefit payments for the Base Plan are calculated using a benefit formula adopted by the Idaho Legislature. The Base Plan is required to provide a 1% minimum cost of living increase per year provided the Consumer Price Index increases 1%or more.The PERSI Board has the authority to provide higher cost of living increases to a maximum of the Consumer Price Index movement or 6%, whichever is less; however, any amount above the 1% minimum is subject to review by the Idaho Legislature. 45 City of Meridian, Idaho Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2024 Member and Employer Contributions Member and employer contributions paid to the Base Plan are set by statute and are established as a percent of covered compensation. Contribution rates are determined by the PERSI Board within limitations, as defined by state law. The Board may make periodic changes to employer and employee contribution rates (expressed as percentages of annual covered payroll)that are adequate to accumulate sufficient assets to pay benefits when due. The contribution rates for employees are set by statute at 60%of the employer rate for general employees and 74%for police and firefighters. As of June 30, 2024, it was 6.71%for general employees and 9.83%for police and firefighters.The employer contribution rate as a percent of covered payroll is set by the Retirement Board and was 11.18%for general employees and 13.26%for police and firefighters.The City's contributions were $6,663,879 for the year ended September 30, 2024. Pension Liabilities(Assets), Pension Expense(Expense Offset), and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions At September 30, 2024,the City reported a liability its proportionate share of the net pension liability (asset). The net pension liability (asset)was measured as of June 30, 2024, and the total pension liability(asset) used to calculate the net pension liability(asset)was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date.The City's proportion of the net pension liability(asset)was based on the City's share of contributions in the Base Plan pension plan relative to the total contributions of all participating PERSI Base Plan employers. At June 30, 2024, the City's proportion was 1.15825274 percent compared to 1.07279264 percent at June 30, 2023. For the year ended September 30, 2024,the City recognized pension expense (expense offset) of$6,907,782. At September 30, 2024,the City reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources: Deferred Deferred Outflows of Inflows of Resources Resources Differences between expected and actual experience $ 6,897,918 $ - Changes in assumptions and other inputs 1,716,359 - Net difference between projected and actual earnings on pension plan investments - 786,442 Changes in the employer's proportion and differences between the employer's contributions and the employer's proportionate share 2,672,813 - City's contributions subsequent to the measurement date 1,793,454 - $ 13,080,544 $ 786,442 The City reported $1,793,455 as deferred outflows of resources related to the pension resulting from Employer contributions subsequent to the measurement date and will be recognized as a reduction of the net pension asset in the year ending September 30, 2025. 46 City of Meridian, Idaho Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2024 The average of the expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with pensions through the System (active and inactive employees) determined at July 1, 2024 the beginning of the measurement period ended June 30, 2024 is 4.4 years. Other amounts reported as deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions will be recognized in pension expense (expense offset) as follows: 2025 $ 3,112,965 2026 8,940,823 2027 (754,482) 2028 (798,658) Actuarial Assumptions Valuations are based on actuarial assumptions,the benefit formulas, and employee groups. Level percentages of payroll normal costs are determined using the Entry Age Normal Cost Method. Under the Entry Age Normal Cost Method, the actuarial present value of the projected benefits of each individual included in the actuarial valuation is allocated as a level percentage of each year's earnings of the individual between entry age and assumed exit age.The Base Plan amortizes any unfunded actuarial accrued liability based on a level percentage of payroll.The maximum amortization period for the Base Plan permitted under Section 59-1322, Idaho Code, is 25 years. The following are the actuarial assumptions and the entry age normal cost method, applied to all periods included in the measurement: Inflation 2.30 percent Salary increases including inflation 3.05 percent Investment rate of return, net of investment fees 6.35 percent Cost of Living (COLA) adjustments 1.00 percent Several different sets of mortality rates are used in the valuation for contributing members, members retired for service and beneficiaries.These rates were adopted for the valuation dated July 1, 2021. Contributing Members,Service Retirement Members, and Beneficiaries General Employees and All Beneficiaries- Males Pub-2010 General Tables, increased 11%. General Employees and All Beneficiaries- Females Pub-2010 General Tables, increased 21%. Fire & Police - Males Pub-2010 Safety Tables, increased 21%. Fire & Police - Females Pub-2010 Safety Tables, increased 26%. 5%of Fire and Police active member deaths are Assumed to be duty related.The assumption was adopted July, 2021. Disabled Members- Males Pub-2010 Disabled Tables, increased 38%. Disabled Members- Females Pub-2010 Disabled Tables, increased 36%. 47 City of Meridian, Idaho Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2024 The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using the building block approach and a forward-looking model in which best estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighing the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. Even though history provides a valuable perspective for setting the investment return assumption, the System relies primarily on an approach which builds upon the latest capital market assumptions.The assumptions and the System's formal policy for asset allocation are shown below.The formal asset allocation policy is somewhat more conservative than the current allocation of PERSI's assets.The best-estimate range for the long-term expected rate of return is determined by adding expected inflation to expected long-term real returns and reflecting expected volatility and correlation. Long-Term Expected Asset Class Target Allocation Real Rate of Return Cash 0.00% 0.00% Large Cap 18.00% 4.50% Small/ Mid Cap 11.00% 4.70% International Equity 15.00% 4.50% Emerging Markets Equity 10.00% 4.90% Domestic Fixed 20.00% -0.25% TIPS 10.00% -0.30% Real Estate 8.00% 3.75% Private Equity 8.00% 6.00% Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability(asset) was 6.35%.The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current contribution rate. Based on these assumptions, the pension plans' net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members.Therefore,the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability(asset).The long-term expected rate of return was determined net of pension plan investment expense but without reduction for pension plan administrative expense. 48 City of Meridian, Idaho Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2024 Sensitivity of The Employer's Proportionate Share of The Net Pension Liability(Asset) To Changes In The Discount Rate. The following presents the Employer's proportionate share of the net pension liability (asset) calculated using the discount rate of 6.35 percent, as well as what the Employer's proportionate share of the net pension liability (asset) would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1-percentage-point lower(5.35 percent) or 1- percentage-point higher(7.35 percent) than the current rate: Current 1% Decrease Discount Rate 1% Increase (5.35%) (6.35%) (7.35%) Employer's proportionate share of the net pension liability (asset) $ 82,333,130 $ 43,326,122 $ 11,467,339 Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Position Detailed information about the pension plan's fiduciary net position is available in the separately issued PERSI financial report. PERSI issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and the required supplementary information for PERSI.That report may be obtained on the PERSI website at www.persi.idaho.gov. Payables to The Pension Plan At September 30, 2024,the City reported payables to the defined benefit pension plan of$622,917 for legally required employer contributions and $426,463 for legally required employee contributions which had been withheld from employee wages but not yet remitted to PERSI. Note 11 - Other Commitments The City had the following commitments at September 30, 2024: Commitments Amount Buildings &Structures $ 4,132,220 Parks/Pathways Construction & Improvements 341,777 Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements 21,265,146 Water/Sewer Line Improvements 18,835,369 Well Improvements 10,700,621 Total Commitments $ 55,275,133 49 City of Meridian, Idaho Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2024 Note 12- Contingent Liabilities The City has been named as a defendant in various legal actions,the results of which are not presently determinable, except as described below. However, in the opinion of the City Attorney,the amount of losses that might be sustained, if any, would not materially affect the City's financial position. Under the terms of federal and state grants, periodic audits are required and certain costs may be questioned as not being appropriate expenditures under the terms of the grants. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already collected, could become a liability of the City. City management believes disallowances, if any, will not be material. In 2006,the City entered into an agreement with a developer to jointly provide water and sewer services for a subdivision under development (Bittercreek Meadows Subdivision Homeowners Association), outside the City limits.The developer put in a well and turned it over to the City so that homeowners could connect to the City water system. Since the development did not grow beyond 24 lots the City was not able to provide sewer and water services. In 2011,the agreement was nullified and the City paid damages to the developer, reimbursed the existing homeowners for their cost to connect to City water, deeded back the well, the well lot, a lift station lot, and land easements to the homeowners. In 2014,the City of Meridian entered into a Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement with Bittercreek Meadows Subdivision Homeowners Association in which the City agreed to connect 24 lots to the City of Kuna's wastewater treatment plant.The cost to do this is not known since it is dependent on development of adjoining vacant land but an estimated cost of$240,000 was recorded and is reflected in the Statement of Net Position for our Proprietary Fund.

Public hearings are conducted at City Hall to obtain taxpayer comments. Prior to October 1,the budget is legally enacted through passage of an ordinance. Budgets are not adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)for the general fund. Budgets for enterprise funds are not legally required but are adopted on a non-GAAP basis.All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end. Revisions that alter the total expenditure appropriation of any fund must be approved by the City Council. State law does not allow fund expenditures to exceed fund appropriations.The budget presented in the report has been amended. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for all funds. Note 2 - Budget Overages The Budget to Actual-General Fund budget identified an overage in the Parks Department's personnel and operational expenses. Specifically, personnel expenses exceeded the budget by$443,969,while operational expenses surpassed the budget by$240,014.These variances were primarily due to the City assuming full operational management of the Lakeview Golf Course. 57 ' Other Information> September 30, 2024 City of Meridian, Idaho eidebailly.com City of Meridian, Idaho Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance— Budget and Actual—Capital Projects Fund Year Ended September 30, 2024 Budgeted Amounts Actual Variance With Original Final Amounts Final Budget Revenues Interest $ - $ - $ 612,769 $ 612,769 Total revenues - - 612,769 612,769 Expenditures General government capital outlay- Police 3,213,218 354,113 1,283,750 (929,637) General government capital outlay- Fire 4,922,579 2,111,638 1,318,002 793,636 Parks and recreation capital outlay - - - - Total expenditures 8,135,797 2,465,751 2,601,752 (136,001) Excess(Deficiency)of revenues over(Under) Expenditures (8,135,797) (2,465,751) (1,988,983) 476,768 Other Financing Sources(Uses) Operating transfer in - - - - Operating transfer out - - - - Unrealized gain (loss)on investments - - 21,110 21,110 Total other financing sources(uses) - - 21,110 21,110 Excess(Deficiency)of Revenues and Other Sources(Uses)over(Under) Expenditures (8,135,797) (2,465,751) (1,967,873) 497,878 Fund Balance, Beginning of Year (7,331,104) (11,091,276) 13,011,622 Fund Balance, End of Year $ (15,466,901) $ (13,557,027) $ 11,043,749 58 City of Meridian, Idaho Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance—Budget and Actual—Enterprise Fund Year Ended September 30, 2024 Budgeted Amounts Actual Variance With Original Final Amounts Final Budget Revenues Water sales $ 10,874,654 $ 10,874,654 $ 11,231,109 $ 356,455 Sewer sales 19,587,090 19,587,090 20,850,156 1,263,066 Other service revenues 270,000 572,612 1,031,423 458,811 Sale of meters 580,453 580,453 598,971 18,518 Trash billing service 11278,771 1,278,771 1,443,166 164,395 Engineering fees 215,000 215,000 363,599 148,599 Assessment revenue and cash donations 18,623,926 19,532,536 15,327,295 (4,205,241) Interest 1,500,000 1,500,000 5,207,000 3,707,000 Miscellaneous - - 51,690 51,690 Total revenues 52,929,894 54,141,116 56,104,409 1,963,293 Expenditures Administration personnel costs 6,088,178 6,088,178 5,800,220 287,958 Administration operating expenses 2,124,988 1,884,427 1,648,777 235,650 Water personnel costs 3,138,362 3,138,362 3,012,662 125,700 Water operating expenses 4,250,033 4,045,101 4,140,691 (95,590) Wastewater personnel costs 4,855,828 4,855,828 4,647,291 208,537 Wastewater operating expenses 5,593,215 5,548,040 4,838,241 709,799 Capital outlay 86,217,670 80,143,926 27,536,749 52,607,177 Total expenditures 112,268,274 105,703,862 51,624,631 54,079,231 Excess (Deficiency) of Revenues over(Under) Expenditures (59,338,380) (51,562,746) 4,479,778 56,042,524 Other Financing Sources(Uses) Operating transfer out (4,330,617) (4,330,617) (3,625,476) 705,141 Unrealized gain on investments - - 1,773,574 1,773,574 Gain (loss)on sale of capital assets (21,827) (2,334) 23,503 25,837 Total other financing sources (uses) (4,352,444) (4,332,951) (1,828,399) 2,504,552 Excess (Deficiency) of Revenues and Other Sources(Uses) over(Under) Expenditures (63,690,824) (55,895,697) 2,651,379 Fund Balance, Beginning of Year 22,042,558 29,971,414 110,121,567 Fund Balance, End of Year $ (41,648,266) $ (25,924,283) $ 112,772,946 Reconciling items for GAAP Basis Financials Deferred outflows $ 2,223,692 Deferred inflows (133,695) Pension liability amount (7,365,441) Accrued vacation (756,849) Retainage payable (1,622,682) Net invested in capital assets 420,049,922 Settlement payable (240,000) Net Position, GAAP Basis, End of Year $ 524,927,893 59 >' Single Audit Section September 30, 2024 City of Meridian, Idaho eidebailly.com EideBailly® CPAs&BUSINESS ADVISORS Independent Auditor's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards To the Mayor and Members of City Council City of Meridian, Idaho Meridian, Idaho We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards), the financial statements of the governmental activities,the business-type activities,the discretely presented component unit, and each major fund of the City of Meridian, Idaho (the City), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated February 18, 2025. Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions,to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.

However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control or on compliance.This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City's internal control and compliance.

In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects,with the compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended September 30, 2024. Basis for Opinion on Each Major Federal Programs We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards); and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards(Uniform Guidance). Our responsibilities under those standards and the Uniform Guidance are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on compliance for each of the major federal programs. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City's compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the City's compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance will always detect material noncompliance when it exists.The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material, if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the City's compliance with the requirements of each of the major federal programs as a whole. In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance,we: • Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the City's compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. • Obtain an understanding of the City's internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit. Report on Internal Control over Compliance A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions,to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis.A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A 63 significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance,yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified. Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance.

This application will enable us to better identify and target at-risk demographics within our community, allowing for more strategic and effective prevention initiatives. We would like to allocate a portion of the Light My Fire donation to support the implementation and utilization of this platform. In doing so,we are committed to ensuring that these funds are used in alignment with our contractual obligations and the intended purpose of the donation—enhancing public fire safety education. Here's how ESCI's Craig 1300 can be used to enhance fire prevention education specifically: 1. Data-Driven Risk Identification • Craig 1300 compiles and analyzes data from multiple sources (incident reports, census data, GIS mapping, and socio-economic factors)to identify high-risk populations and geographic areas prone to fires and other hazards. • This allows fire departments to target their fire prevention education efforts where they are most needed, such as in neighborhoods with higher fire incidents, senior citizens, or low-income households. 2. Customized Public Education Campaigns • By understanding specific community risks, fire departments can develop and implement tailored fire safety education programs. • For example, if data shows a high incidence of kitchen fires in a particular area, departments can focus on cooking safety education in that community. 3. Strategic Resource Allocation • Craig 1300 helps fire departments allocate resources more efficiently by pinpointing areas where fire prevention education will have the greatest impact.

Broadway, Suite 210, Meridian, ID 83642 Phone 208-888-1234 Fax 208-895-0390 . www.meridiancity.org 1 FME • This ensures outreach efforts, school programs, smoke alarm installation campaigns, and fire safety presentations are directed toward those who need them most. 4. Measuring the Effectiveness of Fire Prevention Efforts • The platform tracks fire prevention program outcomes by analyzing whether targeted education efforts have reduced fire-related incidents over time. • This helps departments refine their approach and demonstrate the effectiveness of their fire prevention education strategies. 5. Community Engagement and Partnerships • Fire departments can use Craig 1300 to engage with schools, senior centers, businesses, and community organizations to deliver fire safety education programs. • The platform can help schedule public outreach events, track attendance, and measure community participation in fire prevention efforts. We kindly request your confirmation of approval for utilizing a portion of the Light My Fire funds for this initiative. As we proceed with our request to the city, your consent will be required.

Simison City Council Members: E IDIAN'11:7_4� Luke Cavener, President Liz Strader,Vice President Brian Whitlock Doug Taylor John Overton Anne Little Roberts March 3, 2025 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Robert Simison and City Council FROM: Garrett White, Recreation Superintendent, MPR Dept. RE: Meridian Pool Fee Proposal Background Over the past few years,we have monitored our current fees at the Meridian Pool to assure we are covering program costs, lowering the pool overall subsidy, and keeping fees within the market. Every year facility costs have increased, and the fee proposals below help manage those cost increases. Based on information I have gathered from WARD and past pool employees,the Drop-In Day Pass fees were last increased sometime prior to 2017. Proposed fees include an increase to the Drop-In Day Passes by$1 along with an increase to the Individual Season Pass and Family Season Pass that reflect the increase to the Drop-In Day Pass keeping the breakeven point at approximately 15 visits over the summer. Other proposed fees include increases to Swim Lessons, High School Swim Practices, Swim Meets, and Private Parties. The proposed increases for each of these programs allow for full cost recovery for each specific program. Objective To provide Council with the proposed fee increases and to gather feedback. If Council is not opposed to the proposed fees,the proposed fees will be published and brought back to Council for a public hearing within the next few weeks.

Background: During the February 25th Work Session, there were three primary conversations related to adjustments in project rankings for Roads &Intersections: 1. Ustick Rd. and Venable Ln. - Staff heard to prioritize this project and in conversations with Parks staff,the project has been elevated (as shown in ExhibitA). 2. Linder Rd., Cherry Ln. / Ustick Rd. - Staff heard to deprioritize this project, while supporting that ACHD be opportunistic in early acquisitions of affected properties (ExhibitA). 3. Priority Corridors - Meridian Rd.vs. Locust Rd. - For conversation purposes, Exhibit B, provides a scenario with Meridian Rd. as the priority corridor: o Meridian Rd., Ustick Rd. / McMillan Rd. (#12) o Meridian Rd., McMillan Rd. / Chinden Blvd. (#13) o Locust Grove Rd., Ustick Rd. / McMillan Rd. (#33) o Locust Grove Rd., McMillan Rd. / Chinden Blvd. (#34) ■ If Locust Grove Rd. were to be chosen as the priority corridor, the rankings would be the inverse. - Staff recommends that as part of our letter to ACHD, the City request a cost-benefit analysis of the two corridors for consideration in the 2027-2031 FYP.

Good afternoon, I wanted to follow upon some of the questions from the Council on the two corridors. I hopeyou find this helpful. These are just some VERY high level observations, but there's still a lot unknown. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you want to have a follow up meeting to discuss further. Meridian staff always do such a great job getting these lists together and we appreciate it very much. It makes our jobs easier. Great meeting. _) Locust Grove Rd Corridor Projects • Locust Grove Rd, Lake Hazel Rd /Amity Rd o Bridge #2089 replacement (Farr Lateral) o Planned # of Lanes: 3 (100-feet ROW preservation) 0 2020 CIP Forecasted need: 2036-2040 o Notes: RAB at Lake Hazel & Locust Grove completed through cooperative development. Elevation change south of Amity, may require fill to widen. Likely a handful of homes that will be purchased to widen (depending on 3 vs 6 lanes). A lot of redevelopment potential along corridor. • Locust Grove Rd, Amity Rd /Victory Rd o Bridge #2088 replacement (Ridenbaugh Canal) o Planned # of Lanes: 3 (100-feet ROW preservation) o CIP Forecasted need: 2036-2040 0 24- Hour Traffic Counts: 8,935 (N/O Wrightwood) -10/12/2023 o Notes: RAB at Amity & Locust Grove anticipated, but significant impacts to properties and elevation change on Amity W/O Locust Grove. Development approved along corridor anticipated 3-lane segment, so likely some property and definitely existing landscape buffers would be impacted/removed. • Locust Grove Rd, Fairview Ave/ Ustick Rd o Bridge #1119 (South Slough) o Planned # of Lanes: 5 o CIP Forecasted need: 2026-2030 0 24- Hour Traffic Counts: 18,859 (N/O Fairview) -8/14/2024 o We're planning to get this project into concept end of this year/into next year. This will clarify/highlight potential property acquisitions north of Carol St (west side). Another pinch point are homes on west side between Willowbrook and Chateau Dr. We will be impacting backyards. We will be losing a lot of landscaping/trees along the corridor. • Locust Grove Rd, Ustick Rd / McMillan Rd o Planned # of Lanes: 3 (100-feet ROW preservation) o CIP Forecasted need: 2036-2040 i 0 24- Hour Traffic Counts: 16,566 (N/O Ustick) -5/4/2023 0 24- Hour Traffic Counts: 13,039 (S/O McMillan) -4/27/2023 o Notes: Will likely need to have concept phase due to 3vs5 conversation. Similar to other segments, there will be property purchases. Unknown extent until concept is complete. • Locust Grove Rd, McMillan Rd /Chinden Blvd (US 20/26) o CIP Planned # of Lanes: 3 (100-feet ROW preservation) o CIP Forecasted need: 2036-2040 0 24- Hour Traffic Counts: 10,352 (S/O Chinden) -3/14/2024 Notes: 4 of the 5 corridors are planned to only be 3-lanes. A change to 5-lanes will likely include a good amount of property acquisitions/impacts along these corridors which pushes ROW costs high. In these cases, concept studies are likely. Meridian Rd Corridor Projects • Meridian Rd, Ustick Rd / McMillan Rd o Planned # of Lanes: 3 (100-feet ROW preservation) o Forecasted need: 2026-2030 0 24- Hour Traffic Counts: 12,730 (N/O Ustick) -10/28/2021 o Notes: Predominately ROW impacts would be limited to the landscape buffers and relatively minimal impacts to individual homes/properties. Sidewalk network is fully built out • Meridian Rd, McMillan Rd /Chinden Blvd (US 20/26) o Planned # of Lanes: 3 (100-feet ROW preservation) o Forecasted need: 2026-2030 o Notes: Some property& business impacts but appears as though it might be less than other corridors. One potential pinch point along the corridor, if we are planning to increase to 5-lanes, includes between Heritage Middle School and businesses on west side, the remainder of the corridor would be predominantly the removal of landscape buffers along the corridor. Notes: The Meridian corridor (ACHD's portion) is fully built out from the Interstate, north to Ustick Rd. Only two mile remaining between Ustick & Chinden to finish corridor. Meridian north of Chinden is a collector roadway. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you.

Background: Annually, the City prepares and prioritizes transportation projects within our community for the ACHD Commission to consider in their programming and budget processes. To be considered this year, our priorities must be submitted to ACHD no later than March 191h. The intent of this memo is to share some high-level programming info from ACHD as well as the priority recommendations from the Transportation Commission. After feedback last year, ACHD is only asking for two lists. The first list, titled 2025 Meridian Prioritization Request Form - Roads and Intersections, consists of major capital projects, arterial roadway widening projects, as well as major intersection improvements. The second list, 2025 Meridian Prioritization Request Form - Community Programs, contains projects including, but not limited to: pedestrian enhancements (such as sidewalks, pathways, and ADA upgrades), upgraded pedestrian crossings (such as RRFB/PHB signals), bike facility projects, and traffic calming initiatives. Funded and unfunded projects are combined in each of these lists. The Meridian Transportation Commission (TC), and the Prioritization Subcommittee, met a few times over the last couple of months and have provided recommended priority rankings for each list. Both the Subcommittee and TC recognize most of the projects have been on the list for several years now so last year's priority list served as a starting point for the 2025 prioritization process. The following guidelines provided high-level sideboards for the rankings. • Historically, the City has placed high importance on safety and congestion when compiling project priorities. • The TC referenced Level of Service (LOS) to assist in understanding congestion. To inform the ranking process, the Subcommittee utilized the LOS map provided by ACHD (attached). • ACHD's scoring ( not all projects are scored and those that are, are not necessarily current), focused on the strategic implementation of projects, e.g.,grouping intersection projects with road corridor projects. • Projects that are actively in construction were dropped out of the top 10 projects to allow projects to shift upwards in priority. • Previously identified strategic corridors (such as Ustick) were given additional emphasis. Planning Staff have coordinated with Parks Staff and shared the draft lists and met with a representative of both West Ada School District and Ada County to discuss project priorities and partner agency support opportunities. For more on the FYP and the project prioritization process including the methodology ACHD uses to evaluate projects, please reference ACHD's webpage here.An interactive map for last year's adopted 2025-2029 Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP) is also available here.
