We had a little longer in Executive Session then we anticipated so.
Item 4. Update on Property Exchange with Farmers & Merchants State
Bank – Mayor Corrie:
Corrie: We have three items here update on Property Exchange with Farmers
and Merchants State Bank by Mayor Corrie. The only thing I have on that, I have
not received anything on the appraisal yet from Mr. Jim Boyd who is going to be
giving that to us. I did have a letter from Knipe Janoush and Knipe. Well
whomever it is it’s a professional real estate agency service that gives us
appraisals and they would of provide appraisal. The standard fee would be
$2,500 dollars. I suggest to Council that we wait till we get back Jim Boyd’s
appraisal value before we do anything with this $2,500 dollars at this point
because we can go either way we want to go there. Any other questions on that
at this point?
Item 5. Discussion on Senior Citizens Center Budgeted Funds:
Corrie: Item Number 5 is discussion of Senior Citizens Budget funds. I guess
Tammy if you wanted to say a few words on that one while I look for this.
De Weerd: I didn’t really have any comment. I believe our attorney had asked
us to identify some areas that we wanted the money we were going to grant the
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
October 8, 2002
Page 3 of 5
Senior Center to be dedicated to. 5,000 of that was to be dedicated to their van
and transportation costs to support their efforts in transportation. The rest of it
they sent to the Council a list of projects that they anticipate needing work this
next year and I think all of them total much more then what we were granting
them. So we can just give it to maintenance projects to the Center if that would
be appropriate and leave it at that.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council. We need to specify what the funds
are going to be used for. Cause in a sense we are purchasing service for
citizens in Meridian and that’s the way we need to deal with it. So the $5,000 is
to purchase transportation services for citizens of the City of Meridian. So on the
remainder of the budgeted funds if you indicate what that. You know if it’s to
provide social programs for Meridian Seniors or however you wish to do it then
we’ll. But it needs to be an essentially what services they will provide to Meridian
citizens in exchange for these funds.
De Weerd: Mr. Attorney could that be in terms of building maintenance?
Nichols: Councilwoman De Weerd. I would say not, it needs to be in other
words we are contracting with them for some specific service. Now if they use
the funds to help provide a safe place for them to provide those services for
social activities and that sort of thing I think that’s okay. But I think we just need
to have it couched in terms of services.
Corrie: I think we can meet with them and specifically what we wanted that
money to go to. There are going to use it for that purpose and whatever they
normally would they’ll do something else with the money they were going to do
that for.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor we would be pleased to work in terms of getting an
agreement together.
Corrie: Okay if that’s agreeable to the Council. We’ll get together and do it that
way. Okay.
Item 6. Discussion of Elixir Industries Public / Private Road Issue:
Corrie: I think last on the agenda for this was discussion of Elixir industries
public private road issue. We did have a memo from Brad Hawkins-Clark in
reference to this particular incident. I had talked with the representatives of Elixir
Industries the one thing I was concerned about was ACHD and the problem that
might arise from drainage. We got a letter from ACHD that stated that they didn’t
care whether it was commercial or Public or Private they can be private as far as
they were concerned and we got the recommendation from the Planning and
Zoning Commission. They recommended that the road remain a private road.
So I guess anybody have any other suggestions other then if you want it to be a
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting

private road we need to go back. And Mr. attorney we need to address that in
another session that we’ll go back from a private road rather then a public road.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council. You recall that when Elixir
Industries came forward. I think it was a conditional use permit as well as a
preliminary plat. The requirement was made that that road be made a and built
to public road standards and be a public road you also had testimony from
adjoining property owners that asked you require the road be made a public road
so that they would have access through that road to Eagle Road. So if we are
going to change those findings then there needs to be a process that goes back
through the public hearing process before that’s done.
Corrie: Okay, then I suppose that’s what we should do is go back to the public
hearing.
Bird: Send it back through.
Corrie: Council wants to do that.
Bird: That would be fine with me.
De Weerd: That’s fine with me.
Corrie: Okay then we will work with the City Clerk and make that a public
hearing and get it back on the agenda. That takes care of --
Nary: Isn’t the applicant the one requesting the change in the findings.
Corrie: I think so.
Nary: I guess the response from the council should be that if they would like for
us to consider that change they’ll have to file a application and go back through
the public hearing process.
Siddoway: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Yes.
Siddoway: I would just point out that the Marcon Subdivision, private road was
applied for through the miscellaneous application, and I would just recommend
that same process be followed by the applicant.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Nichols.

Nichols: Steve on the miscellaneous application will they adjoining property
owners receive notice of the application the same as they would for modification
of an existing approval?
Siddoway: So with the 300 foot radius, like there would be for the plat itself that
came through. I’ll have to verify that but we should get the same notice out to the
original property owners that were notified of the plat.
Corrie: Okay any other discussion on the Pre-Council? Hearing none I will
entertain a motion to close the Pre-Council meeting.
De Weerd: So moved.
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Motion has been made and second to close the Pre-Council meeting.
Any further discussion? All those in favor say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
