Madam Mayor, I move that we approve the appointment of Steve Turney to the Historical Preservation Commission. Bird: Second. De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. The motion -- and just for the record, he is taking Tony Hickey's place and his term expires in four -- well, it was up in four of '04. Unfortunately, we just didn't have anyone until now. So, it would extend out -- you know, I apologize, I — Bird: They are three years, De Weerd: -- believe it's three years, but — Bird: I believe you're right. De Weerd: Okay. So, it would be 04/07. Mrs. Deputy Clerk, I'm sorry, will you call roll. Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Wardle, yea, Nary; absent. MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. ONE ABSENT. 3. Request for any Additions to proposed FY05 Budget: De Weerd: Thank you. This item is just to remind you that next week we will be publishing our FY05 budget and so any changes our accounting department really does need to know no later than Thursday, because -- so we can publish that and get it in the packets on Friday. So, please, discuss any potential changes with your departments and, Shaun, I think you have a couple. Wardle: Madam Mayor, yes, my departments have several changes they will be bringing forward. De Weerd: Okay. And that doesn't affect our general fund bottom line, it's more out of impact fees. Is that correct, Mr. Wardle? Wardle: Yes, Madam Mayor, on the park side. De Weerd: Okay. Okay. Yes, you have the renegade departments. Okay. So, if you will, please, let Stacy know, as well as my office know, at your earliest convenience if there is any changes. Brad, did you have anything? Watson: Not that I'm aware of. De Weerd: Okay_ I just thought you looked like you wanted to talk. Okay. Item 16-B is from the Planning and Zoning Department. Anna. Meridian City Council August 3,2004 Page 6 of 27 Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I know that contracts usually show up on your Consent Agenda, we just wanted to take just a moment to explain what's happening on the downtown Meridian Transportation Management Plan. I did give you a brief update last week. I told you that we had selected Hudson Company and Theron Peers and they have been working on the contract. The contract is ready to go. The piece that's missing is the memorandum of understanding between ACHD and the city, but we would ask that you would give the Mayor the authority to approve the contract once that memorandum of understanding is in place. We just anticipate that it may take a little time to get that going and because there is kind of a rush on this project, we just wanted to have everything in place for when that memorandum is signed and ready to go. De Weerd: Council, do you have any questions at this point? Mr. Attorney, do you have any wisdom to impart on going ahead with this without the memorandum of understanding? Nichols: I'm sorry, Madam Mayor, Councilman Bird asked me to look something up and was doing that, so I'll have to ask you to -- this is on the — which contract? De Weerd: This is on the downtown circulation study and -- Nichols: Talking about the memorandum of understanding with ACHD? De Weerd; Yes. Nichols: Madam Mayor, you can approve the contract subject to completion of the memorandum of understanding with ACHD, if that's the Council's wish. De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. And that is the recommendation at this point. Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: Do we have a cost figure on that that's pretty -- not to exceed or -- have we got that? De Weerd: It would be not to exceed 50,000. Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, apparently it's $47,759.50, Just a little less than 50,000. De Weerd: Yeah. We just wanted to make sure in our budget amendments we had it all covered and that is the budget amendment you approved last week. Meridian City Council August 3,2004 ?age 7 of 27 Bird: It wasn't for 50, was it? De Weerd: It was for 50. Bird: Was it for 50? De Weerd: But if you want a specific amount -- Bird: I just think that -- De Weerd: -- that sounds real specific to me. Down to the penny. Rountree: Did you get it? Bird: What? Rountree: Did you get the amount? Bird: 47,000, but not to exceed 50. i don't think that 47 is going to stay. De Weerd: It's 47,759.50. Rountree: That 50 is important. De Weerd: Do I have a motion? Rountree: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Rountree. Rountree: I move that upon approval or completion of the memorandum of understanding between the City of Meridian and Ada County Highway District, that the Mayor be authorized to approve the memorandum of agreement and contract for an amount of $47,759.50 for the downtown circulation study. Wardle: Second. De Weerd: Okay. It's been moved and seconded to approve the contract. Is there any further discussion? Mrs. Deputy Clerk, will you call roll. Roll-Call: Bird, yea, Rountree, yea, Wardle, yea; Nary, absent. MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. ONE ABSENT.
