Meridian City Pre-Council Meetina
Aoril18. 2000
The Special Pre-Council Meeting of the Meridian City Council was called to order
by Mayor Robert D. Corrie on Tuesday, April 18, 2000 at 6:35 p.m.
Members present: Robert Corrie, Keith Bird, Cherie McCandless, Tammy
deWeerd.
Members absent: Ron Anderson
Others present: Bill Nichols, Bill Gordon, Gary Smith, Shari Stiles, Ken Bowers,
Will Berg.
Corrie: 1'(( open the Pre-Council meeting on April 18, 2000, at 6:35 p.m. to
discuss the agenda items and department reports, and then, at 7:30, we'll go into
the regular agenda session. Welcome, everybody, Senator. AI, I'm glad to see
you here today. It's not quite the Chambers at the Statehouse, but thank you.
Okay. Council, do you have any questions on the Consent Agenda, any items
that you want to discuss or that you want to break off?
Item L.
Beer and Wine License: EI Tenampa by Rocio Maria Pedraza -
729 East 1 st Street:
Bird: Mr. Mayor, on the beer and wine license, is everything okay, Chief?
Gordon: Yes, sir. It is. We were going to approve that tonight pending the
County. They are pending the issuance of their license. We do have the state
license, and the background with us has passed. So as soon as they get their
county license issued, then we can issue it.
Bird: Do we need to yank that off the Consent or is it okay to leave it on the
Consent? If there's no question on it?
Gordon: I think we just - exception that when the county license is provided that
it's approved.
Bird: Is that part of the policy?
Corrie: Policy that (inaudible) City Clerk.
Gordon: Other than that, yes, sir. It is fine.
Item G.
Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law: AZ 99-010 Request
for annexation and zoning of 150.79 acres to R-4 by Bear Creek,
LLC - east of Stoddard Road and south of Overland :
Item H.
Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law: PP 99-010 Request
for preliminary plat for proposed Bear Creek Subdivision - 326
single-family lots on 150.79 acres by Bear Creek, LLC - east of
Stoddard Road and south of Overland:
Bird: Mr. Bird, I still find the Bear Creek Subdivision. Is everything fine on that,
Mr. Nichols?
Nichols: Councilman Bird, Mayor, members of the Council, yes, I believe so.
Bird: I don't see anything we need to pull, do you?
Item F.
Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law: CUP 99-039
Request for Conditional Use Permit for planned unit development
including continuing care retirement community, single- and multi-
family residential and office and retail use by Touchmark Living
Centers - Joseph A. Billig - east of St. Luke's between Franklin
Road and Interstate 84:
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, Touchmark. Do we need a signed Development
Agreement before we do a CUP? Okay. So we'll probably have to take Item F
off so we can continue that or table it until our next meeting.
Corrie: Hearing that, do we have a Development Agreement?
Berg: No.
Corrie: Okay. So we need the Development Agreement first. Okay. So we can
pull that off and table it until then.
Nichols: Mayor, members of the Council, in the past, haven't we gone ahead
with the annexation and zoning and approved those Findings of Facts and
Conclusions of Law, but not the CUP? So only that would be pulled?
Item H.
Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law: PP 99-010 Request
for preliminary plat for proposed Bear Creek Subdivision - 326
single-family lots on 150.79 acres by Bear Creek, LLC - east of
Stoddard Road and south of Overland:
deWeerd: And wouldn't we also need to pull H for Bear Creek on the preliminary
plat?
Corrie: Has Bear Creek signed one?
Bird: Have the got a Development Agreement?
Corrie: preliminary plat you can. It's just the -
Berg: We haven't approved the Findings on the annexation yet to Bear Creek.
Those Findings are a part of the Development Agreement.
Bird: Then we can't do the preliminary plat.
Nichols: It looks to me like it'd be appropriate to pull that one as well.
Corrie: The annexation and zoning?
Nichols: No, Mayor. It would be the preliminary plat, Item H. Councilman Bird,
members of the Council, Will, we've got the Development Agreement, so that's
all done, if I recall, for Bear Creek.
Berg: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, we have the Development
Agreement, but part of that agreement is the approved Findings attached to it,
and we do not have anything signed coming back to us, but I believe you had
that done previously.
Nichols: I believe everything is ready to go. All we need is the signature. So we
can go ahead and do the annexation Findings and just simply pull the preliminary
plat, and then we'll -
Corrie: Pull the preliminary plat next time?
Nichols: I would assume that they'll have it signed by the 2nd. They're ready to
go.
Bird: Same on it. Pull it.
Nichols: Yes.
Item 4.
Continued Public Hearing from April 4, 2000: CUP 00-006
Request for a Conditional Use Permit for existing car dealership (2
buildings) on front four acres and proposed 72,000 s.f. Fairview
Mini-Storage on the back four acres - 1005 East Fairview Avenue:
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, just one more question on the regular agenda. It looks like
we'll be continuing No.4 to May 16th; is that correct?
Corrie: No.4, the mini-storage? Same thing here, Mr. Clerk?
deWeerd: I had a letter in our packet that requested.
Corrie: I didn't get it. Sorry.
(
Berg: We got it late today. (inaudible)
Corrie: Oh, that one from Becky?
deWeerd: No, this one is from Fairview Mini Storage. Table it to the 2nd
scheduled - no - to the 16th.
Corrie: Table it to the 16th. So we'll continue the public hearing to the 16th.
Thank you.
Bird: They don't have time to get it in.
deWeerd: Right. That's it for me.
McCandless: Mr. Mayor, we don't have the special Pre-Council meeting minutes
of April 4, 2000, either.
Item 3.
Tabled from April 4, 2000: PP 00-016 Request for preliminary
plat for 45 building lots on 8.25 acres for proposed Wood haven
Subdivision by Dan Wood / D.W., Inc. - west of Eagle Road
between Overland and East Victory:
Corrie: Okay. So we'll pull that one. I think we had a letter from the attorney on
Woodhaven annexation and zoning, the one that they want to replace a page.
Page 3. Page NO.5 the owner's changed to reflect D.W., Inc., and therefore,
please replace this page with the old one. Is that just - okay. Anything else?
Okay. Do you want to go through the department reports?
Bird: I'd love to. Let's get them out of the way.
10. Department Reports:
A. City Treasurer - Janice Smith:
1. Treasurer's Report:
Berg: Mr. Mayor, Reta put in your boxes the expenditure and revenue report,
and she felt that if you had any questions that you could probably just contact her
since Janice hasn't been here. And they - any other information that you request
for the next Council meeting.
B. Fire Department - Chief Ken Bowers:
1. Approval of Fire Truck Contract:
2. Contract for Fire Station II with ZGA Architects:
3. Change Order No.5 Franklin Road Fire Station:
Corrie: Department report, Kenny Bowers.
Bowers: Mayor Corrie and City Council members. We finally got the wording on
the contract correct, we believe, this time from the Hughes Fire Equipment. Ron
h(3s gone through it and okayed it. We would like to have the Mayor and Clerk
slQn the contract so we can get it sent in to get the new fire truck ordered. Also,
do you want to go on with No. 2 or do you want to stay with that a little bit? How
do you guys want to do this here?
Bird: I've got a question on the fire truck. We've already approved it. That
doesn't even have to be approved. That one is just waiting for Ron to look it over
and get some - I think it's okay for - we approved the fire truck contract. I think
it's just a matter of the Mayor signing and the Clerk attesting.
Bowers: Mayor Corrie and Council members, President Bird, I was just under
the impression that all contracts that are coming before the City Council before
the Mayor signs it.
Bird: We had agreed upon that contract when we accepted the bid.
Bowers: I believe not. I believe we just approved buying of the fire truck at that
time, and then we still had to do the final work on the contract.
Bird: Bring it forward.
Corrie: Okay. We can approve the contract.
Bird: We can't on the Pre-Council, can we? We just held off and then he didn't
have to get back up.
Bowers: Item No.2 is our contract through ZGA for Fire Station NO.2 at Ten
Mile and Cherry Lane. This has been going on quite a while. Bill Gigray went
through it, made some changes. We sent it back to ZGA and they sent it back to
us. Then Bill Nichols went through it. Had some comments. It's quite a lengthy
contract, so I didn't make a copy for everybody. The comments that Bill Nichols
had made was passed on to President Keith Bird. He looked the contract over
Friday night. He does not have any problems with what Bill Nichols had
suggested. Excuse me. Keith Bird does not have any problems of what the
contract states at this time. Bill can explain a little bit about it.
Nichols: Mayor, members of the Council, I had some technical changes that I
requested or there were some issues. Most of this is fairly standard, but, of
(~
course, since it's an AlA contract, it favors the architect, and we have to look it
over accordingly. But as it is, I don't think that the issues that they have not
agreed with is on - are that large to prevent or preclude going forward with the
contract.
Corrie: Does the architects - do they feel the same way?
Nichols: They're ready to go with - I mean, they accepted some of the
requirements of changes that I made and didn't accept some of the others.
Corrie: Any question of Council?
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, I just have one of the City Attorney. Of the ones they
didn't agree with, are those significant issues?
Nichols: They're not huge issues. One of the items that they didn't agree with
was - had to do with when the statute of limitations accrues with regard to any
cause of action that there might be against the architect for negligence, but it's
not on a project of this size for the Ten Mile Station, I don't think it makes that big
of difference. Might have bigger concern on a project the size of the police
station, the proposed police station or some other larger facility. The other thing
was a sort of philosophical thing for me, and that is that architects regularly
surcharge outsourced item by 10 to 15 percent, and they put it in the contract
that way. So if they send something out, copies or whatever, they get to add 10
percent to it on their reimbursable expenses, or mileage. They get, according to
contract, to add 1 0 percent where most professionals don't surcharge those
items to the client, and - but it's the industry standard. So that was their reply
was that it was the industry standard. That's what we do. So with the police
architects, perhaps we need to negotiate that up front and see where they're at
on that.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, one more question. Kenny, is this pretty much - they were
the architects on the main station? Is this quite similar to that contract?
Bowers: Mayor Corrie, Council members and Tammy, yes. With the exceptions
that Bill stated tonight, it's the same contract as what we used there. We did use
ZGA one time last year, as Bill was talking about, the 10 percent. We had to
have the ground tested afterwards, and instead of taking a month to get a
contractor and bid it out and everything, we used ZGA. They went and had it
done and they charged us six percent. I think our contract said 10, but they
charged us six percent. Only one time we used that.
deWeerd: So you feel comfortable with that?
Bowers: Yes, I sure do, Tammy.
(0
deWeerd: Thank you, Kenny.
Bowers: Then the third item is Change Order for the fire station on Franklin
Road. You - the City Council had already approved Change Order, excuse me,
Items 1 and 2 on January 4, 2000. Three and four items we need to have
changed. We had a door that swung into the - out of our training room into a
bathroom, and we figured we'd have some collisions of people coming out of the
bathroom and people coming out of the training room, so we changed that order.
Also, the City - in the City you have to have an RP valve for your irrigation, and
the contractor had put in a double-check valve. So we need to change that out
and put an RP valve in it.
Bird: What's the amount of the change order, Kenny?
Corrie: $1360.
Bowers: The amount of the change order will be $1,360.
Bird: I'm not (inaudible)
Corrie: Whose idea was it the first time the door was put in? Was it the
architect?
Bowers: The architect, yes. Yes. And we didn't catch it. We walked through it I
think three months there. All of us walked through it, and all of a sudden they
hung the door up and we realized that we were going to be having a problem.
So, yes, we did.
deWeerd: Well, you have very few problems with that, didn't you?
Bowers: Yes. I think we had $20-some thousand dollars worth of change
orders, and half of that was on that Idaho Power deal. So we did a very good
job, I think, with change orders. Thank you very much. Any other questions?
c. Police Department - Chief Gordon:
1 a. JAISG:
Corrie: Chief Gordon.
Gordon: Mr. Mayor and Council, I've got an issue that came up that needs some
attention right quick, and that's a grant. The Department of Justice gives Idaho
Juvenile Corrections a block grant and allows them to distribute the money
throughout the State of Idaho for programs or projects that meet the criteria. The
City of Meridian is authorized $12,000, and we've drawn up the project. Craig
Fawley has done all the paperwork for it, and then right at the last minute we
found out it has to go through legal, and then there's been some holdups. This
(
(
needs to be in by tomorrow. So I would like Craig Fawley to come up here and
give you a short presentation on what we're going to use as far as the $1,000.
As what he's going to use it for, and then we need Council's approval for the
Mayor to sign. With that, Craig?
Fawley: Thank you, Chief. This is grants titled Juvenile Accountability Incentive
Block Grant. The funding does come through the Idaho Department of Juvenile
Corrections, and it's disbursed through the Association of Idaho Cities. A couple
of the main criteria grant is - stipulation of the grant, first of all the money is used
for accountability rather than information programs. This money is used for
juveniles that are already in the criminal justice system to hold them accountable
to their probation conditions and their state and local laws. So that makes it a
little unique from all the other grants that you're going to see. The other thing
that's unique about this is to get approval for this grant, and this is what we've
already done, is we had to form a coalition called the Juvenile Crime
Enforcement Coalition. This is a coalition of community and business leaders to
determine how this money is allocated. So the allocations that I'm about to share
with you have already been approved and endorsed by this Committee. The
coalition is made up of myself as the project director, Shawna Dunn as Ada
County Prosecutor working with the Juvenile Court; Marcy Chadwell which is Ada
County Juvenile Court is a probation quadrant supervisor; Julianne Michaelson
works with Ada County Juvenile Court as a victims services specialist; and
Marilyn Reynolds is Principal at Meridian Academy. She represents Meridian
School District; Mr. Scott Leadbetter is the facilities manager at Jabil Circuits,
and he's on the committee; and Ryan Davis is a community member from the
Capital Christian Center. He's on staff there. So those are the people that
currently make up the list. We've had a couple other people that have
approached us that want to participate in this. We'll probably add them on later.
One of the neat things about the Juvenile Crime Enforcement Coalition is that it
doesn't just look at how to spend the money, but we're looking at ways to break
down the walls and share information back and forth between agencies to hold
juveniles accountable. The allocations that the coalition has agreed upon are as
follows: The funding comes, the grant amount is $10,901. There's $1211.54 that
are matching funds that have already - that will come from the year 2000
Detective Division Budget. So there is a small amount, for $1200 we'll be getting
nearly $11,000 added to that. Ten percent of those funds can be used for
administration. Administration involves training of the project coordinator which
is myself, and we're only using $812 which is 6.7 percent, and that training will
include serious and violent juvenile offenders is what's happening on a national
trend; the actual administration of the grant, the paperwork, how to do that; and
then also, there is training on how to share information between agencies. The
largest portion of the money is going to some technology expenses. This
(inaudible) - I'm just going to give you a short list, but basically digital cameras
and computers to high-end computers for storing digital photographs of juvenile
offenders. When we arrest a juvenile, we take a mug shot of them. That mug
shot then helps identify them while we're looking for so-and-so, and if you don't
r....-
know the guy, you don't really know what he looks like, then we can also do
photo lineups for a juvenile suspect. Right now we don't have access to that.
We have no way to capture, stofe and retrieve photographs of juvenile offenders
in the Meridian Police Department. So this will purchase two high-end
computers that will do that, three digital cameras, printers and scanners so that
we can really be up-to-date with what's out there with the technology to do this.
One set of equipment goes at the Police Department, the other set of equipment
will be placed at the Meridian Outreach of the Juvenile Probation Services which
is right now on Franklin. They're moving next door just one office back east.
We're working on different connections so we can share this information back
and forth, and they've found that this is just a real key in holding juveniles
accountable is the Police Department and also the Probation Department's doing
and vice-versa. So that total is $8,041 and that's 66.4 percent of the grant. The
remainder of the funds of $3,259.54 - that 54 cents had to go somewhere - is
put into kind of a unique program that we're looking for a lot of success with.
This is 26.9 percent of the allocation. This is going to be to pay above and
beyond the normal hours that police officers and probation officers work to team
together to go out and (inaudible) society and our community to have what we
call Fourth Amendment Waivers. They do not have the freedom from
unreasonable search and seizure because of the crimes they've committed. But
because of our work schedules, the school resource officers' commitments to the
school hours and the juvenile probation department heads, the same problem.
It's hard for us to get out in the evenings and weekends, so they kind of know
that outside of office hours law enforcement supervision is not really tight. It's
really hard for us to get out there. So these funds would go to team together at
each time a probation officer and police officer would go together, so that way
we're increasing this information sharing between the agencies, and it's a real
effective tool Juvenile probation was excited about it. The Police Departments
were excited about it to have occasion to do it on an informal basis, but, again,
because of our pretty structured time during the school year, it's difficult to do.
These funds are to be spent during the 2000/2001 school year for us to be out
teaming up, and they'll provide us probably two nights a month to go out and do
this. That is, in a nutshell, what the grant is going to do for us. Can I answer any
questions?
Bird: How much more bookkeeping is this going to take?
Fawley: Well, the bookkeeping, I have the - it looks like I have the delight of not
only being the project director, but also the financial director. The bookkeeping is
one thing that is going to come to me. One of the good things about this coming
through the Association of Idaho Cities is that it's - they make this as easy as
they can to administer, and so it's - yeah, there is bookkeeping, there is quarterly
reports, but I think that for the amount of funds and for the use that we're going to
get, it's going to go to things that are hard for us to budget the money for anyway.
I think the majority of the work is done: the forming of the coalition and coming to
an agreement on the allocation. That was probably the biggest part of the work.
Corrie: Any other questions?
Bird: I have none.
deWeerd: Sounds good.
Bird: Sounds okay to me.
Gordon: That's kind of an example of what school resource officers are doing
and plan on doing. So I guess we need Council to approve the Mayor to sign the
grant.
Corrie: We will do that at the regular agenda meeting.
Bird: Can't do it now.
deWeerd: And, Bill, that was called the Juvenile Accountability Block Grant?
Fawley: Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant.
Gordon: JAIBG.
deWeerd: Thank you.
1. Professional Services I Architect for new Police
Department building:
Gordon: The next issue I have is on the contract for our architects. It is
professional services, and the Council approved me to go ahead and hire these
folks until I get a proposal, and it was $258,000, and I don't think you want me to
approve that. So they're proposal is not a contract, and I understand Councilman
Bird was going to talk to one of the architects, Steve Simmons. I've been unable
to corner him. I was curious as to how you want to proceed on this because we
are moving against that October 1 date. I'm kind of at a loss, here.
Bird: I have not had a chance to get hold of Steve, in fact, he's out of town until
Friday, to talk to him on that stuff. I think if we do it with the eM like I'd like to see
it done, we'd be okay if we go this on board on the 2nd. Let's get Steve to get a -
I think we can do some twisting. This percent, I think, is a little high.
Gordon: Okay. So you're going to meet with him?
Bird: I'm going to get hold of him Friday, and if I meet with him, I'll definitely call
you.
"
Gordon: I would request that my liaison and I both be present. Maybe we can
learn something, Councilman Bird. I've (inaudible) $258,000.
Bird: I think we need to talk to - that don't scare me.
Gordon: It doesn't really scare me. I just shake a little. It's a lot of money.
Bird: It is a lot of money, but they're going to do a lot of work, too.
Gordon: So do you want me to bring this back up -
Bird: The 2nd. Let's see if we can get a firm written proposal there. A contract.
Gordon: I think this is their first opening. There was no dickering.
Corrie: You say you're going to a meeting Friday?
Bird: No. He's not back in town until Friday. I'll get hold of Steve at that point.
I'll call him.
Gordon: And those other issues on there, he explained those to me before he
left, was the phone and data system was $10,000 - those are additional to the
$250,000. The FF and E was a firm that inventoried your furniture and puts little
models in your plans to determine how much you have and how much you need.
I don't think we need that one. So I would say just the top part would be what we
would bargain with.
Bird: Let's see what he wants to do.
2. Paint the Town liability insurance waiver:
Gordon: The other issue came up on Paint the Town, and I've been involved
with that for several years. This year they have a waiver form that they want the
groups to sign which relieves the Paint the Town Organization from all liability
and puts it back on the employers. Again, I don't know if the City wanted to be
liable. I faxed a copy over to the City Clerk, Will Berg, and he was checking into
that with our insurance company, ICRMP.
Bird: What's ICRMP say?
Berg: Mayor, members of the Council, ICRMP hasn't gotten back to me. What
this involves is an employee team or the team sponsored by the City, for
example, the Police Department, and the liability that we have with them as
employees working on that particular house. I haven't got any word back other
than they did receive what I faxed to them which is what you have faxed to me.
(
The other concerns, sometimes there are family members involved with the
team, not just employees.
Bird: How does the private sector do it? Every private company we've - Aluma-
Glass and everybody else does, and they're covered by the insurance. I don't'
know why ICRMP can't cover.
Berg: I don't know. I'm not an insurance expert, but I'll try to find the answer.
Corrie: The Police Department is doing it? Do you have a team?
Gordon: Well, it was brought back by one of the police officers on our team, but
everybody who's going to be on the team, regardless of who their employer is,
they sign this waiver that Paint the Town is not responsible for personal injuries;
that the employer of the individual that's injured would be providing the
insurance.
Bird: It's Workman's Camp?
Gordon: Yes. And I have a question there that if we're covered under
Workman's Comp, are they working? Okay.
Bird: It's a volunteer, isn't it?
Corrie: Do they classify it as Workman's Comp?
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, Chief Gordon, you can obtain
Worker's Compensation coverage for volunteers, arid they do a - I mean, it's
been done in other places that way, and the actual amount of premium that's
attributable to those volunteers is pretty small where as like a three-day project
that usually Paint the Town is like three or four days by the time we do the prep
work and do the actual painting on the Saturday. So ICRMP should be able to
tell the City what the additional premium, if any, would be for that. Typically it's
not much. But you can get Worker's Camp for volunteers.
Corrie: So that would be - ICRMP wouldn't be giving it anyway. It would be the
State Insurance Fund. So they would - do they have to know before or after the
fact? Before the fact. All right. Okay. Would you check that one out, then, Will?
Okay.
3. Wages: Review Information
Gordon: Last issue, wages. Issue was brought up with the Police Department is
under a pay program is under compliance with the City's personnel manual which
was adopted 1995. Some of the comments that were made by the Treasurer's
Office that they were trying to get the Police Department into compliance, but
,..~-~
(
whenever they did, I would intimidate them, I took exception to that. So I went
back to find out whey we were still under that pay plan. 1995, the Police
Department pay program was approved by the then-Mayor Grant Kingsford. We
were authorized at that time to continue on the way we were. The packet that I
gave you checked 18 different law enforcement agencies throughout two or three
states. If one thing is quite evident there, nobody is doing exactly by the letter of
Fair Labors and Standards under the 207K. Everybody has variations. I guess
I'm back to I'd like to know where we're going to go and what you expect me to
do from here.
Corrie: I don't think you'll get an answer tonight. I told you that.
Gordon: Well, I wanted to make it very clear why we were under that pay plan
and who authorized that. Here again, the previous Mayor and Council when we
were a smaller town was done word of mouth. It was not put in writing. That's
why there is nothing in writing with anybody, but it was authorized by the Mayor.
Not by my intimidation.
Corrie: I think we have one Councilperson that needs to be brought up to speed
on this. As soon as we do, we can get your answers to you.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, Chief Gordon, somehow or
another, that - I think those packets ended up with me in some stuff that I picked
up at the Mayor's office. The Council didn't get them. That's my fault. I got
them, and I'll make sure that they get them. That was the information that you
sent. So I have it sitting in my office. I'll get it to them tomorrow.
Gordon: And if there are any questions, ask for the information. Grant Kingsford
would be more than willing to entertain any phone calls from anybody.
Bird: He will get them.
Gordon: I hope so. I really do~ Thank you. That's alii had.
D. Sanitary Service Company - Steve Sedlacek
1. Household Hazardous Waste
Corrie: I think we have one more. You wanted to say something on the
sanitation service on the program that you're doing?
Thank you, Mr. Mayor and members of the Council. I came into City Hall
yesterday and met with the Mayor for about half an hour for the simple reason is I
wanted to inform you all tonight that we're moving forward with the household
hazardous waste event. We're planning to have three events this summer. One
in May, one in July and one is September. It's the fourth Tuesday of those
months. There's going to start being some press releases on this. One thing I
really don't want to have happen is I don't want the Mayor and the Council to
read about what's going on in Meridian in the paper. I'd rather have you hear it
from me. I guess I'm a little paranoid about that. And one of the things that youlll
see, if it's okay with you, if not, I need to know, that this program is being done
more frequently because we're tagging along with the City of Boise's program.
We commissioned that in the past. This is also kind of an intra if recycling does
get implemented, that recycling program will pay for this more frequent collection.
Now, these next three collection events will be paid for by us. But we're kind of
moving into a more frequent collection event if recycling goes through. So I
wanted to find out if it's okay, for example, here's a potential news release or an
ad coming out, and I can give this to you guys. I'm sorry I didn't make more
copies, but basically it just shows the City of Boise's logo and the City of
Meridian's logo. That's fine with me. I don't know if it's okay with you guys. We
could put out something more Meridian-specific if you like and issue it jointly with
Boise Public Works. It's up - I don't know if there's any interpolitical issues
there.
deWeerd: I have no issues.
Bird: I just appreciate your effort
Corrie: The only thing - I think I told you, Steve, I just want to make sure that
you guys handle that. (inaudible).
deWeerd: That's a nice logo we have.
Sedlacek: Yes. That's very nice.
deWeerd: I like that.
Bird: What is it a water tower?
Sedlacek: It's a circle. An empty circle. On the bottom you see they're asking
for that on the graphic format. I don't have that. I'll get it and get it to them.
Again, unless you mind having this sort of-
Bird: I agree with Bob. Make sure you get our names on it.
Sedlacek: We're also prepared to send out a flyer in next month's bills
describing what's going on, where it is. Our name will be on it, your name will be
on it. We don't care if our name's on it, but we want to make sure that the City of
Meridian gets credit for it, for things going on in the City of Meridian.
_r~ ,-

Bird: Appreciate it.
Sedlacek: That's alii wanted to say.
Corrie: Questions?
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Thanks, Steve.
Sedlacek: Thanks.
Corrie: Anything else? Gary?

1. Summers Funeral Home waterline extension:
Smith: Mayor and Council, I apologize for not having an agenda item on the
agenda for tonight, but I do have some additional information on this Summers
Funeral Home waterline extension that we talked about. I'll just hand that out
and I don't know if you want to or would be able to at this late date take any
action on it tonight. I know they're really anxious to get something started. But
hopefully you'll have time to just kind of look this stuff over, and if you want to
discuss it toward the end of the meeting, I'll be more than happy to answer any
questions.
deWeerd: Thanks, Gary.
Bird: Thank you.

Item 3.
Tabled from April 4, 2000: PP 00-016 Request for preliminary
plat for 45 building lots on 8.25 acres for proposed Woodhaven
Subdivision by Dan Wood I D.W., Inc. - west of Eagle Road
between Overland and East Victory:
Corrie: Item No.3 is tabled from April 4th. This is a request for a preliminary plat
for 45 building lots on 8.25 acres for proposed Woodhaven Subdivision by Dan
Wood I D.W., Inc., west of Eagle Road between Overland Road and East Victory.
Does staff have any questions or comments on this request for preliminary plat?
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, I would like some clarification from the applicant
or his representative. They have proposed this new plat. I wasn't in on the
discussions for this on-going project. It appears that the frontages do not meet
the R-8 requirements for the minimum of 65 feet, and then the plats would need
to be a 3D-foot minimum. Other cul-de-sac lots would need to have a 40-foot
cord. I'd like to ask legal counsel since we haven't actually received a
Development Agreement or annexed the property, does this need to be tabled
again?
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, and Director Stiles, this thing's
been in front of us so many times, I don't know which end is up with it. Since this
appeared on the agenda as only preliminary plat approval, and the Findings of
Fact and Conclusions of Law in the annexation and zoning did not appear on this
agenda, I assumed that was one of the things that was already taken care of.
We were held up, I believe, perhaps because of the Ada County Highway District
street standards. I can recall that was an issue because it - if I recall correctly,
that was the one issue that the street standards that had been incorporated into
the Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law on the annexation issue were the
(
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 18, 2000
Page 6
wrong ones. Was I incorrect on that, Council members, do you recall? Mr.
Smith?
Stiles: We've approved on the Consent Agenda the Findings on the annexation
and zoning, but we don't actually have the Development Agreement.
Nichols: That's correct.
Stiles: Or an Ordinance.
Nichols: That's correct.
Stiles: Does that make it - you've been preparing Findings of Fact on the plats
themselves? That's the only comment I would have in reviewing this is that the
R-8 requirements aren't met in regard to frontages on some of the lots.
Corrie: Gary.
Lee: I'm Gary Lee with J-U-B Engineers, 250 South Beechwood. In reviewing
that latest submittal on the plat, there is adequate room to adjust those lot lines to
meet standard for lot area and frontage. This thing was put together fairly
rapidly, and it's preliminary in form. There won't be any mathematical surveying
problems to meet the standard. We can still keep the same lot count. The
attorney is correct. In the last meeting when it was tabled for ACHD's comment
on this new layout when it was in the Findings of Fact was that the original
Findings from the 45-unit preliminary plat, when they were looking at the
townhouse concept. So the new one you have now is based on this design.
Bird: Is that the current one you have now, Gary? That's the one we got here

Lee: Yes. Speaking for the developer, I don't' think he'd have a problem if you
were to approve the preliminary plat conditioned upon meeting R-8 standards on
lot dimensions.
Corrie: Gary, do you have any problem with that?
Smith: No, I don't Mr. Mayor.

deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, I move that we approve the request for preliminary plat for
Wood haven Subdivision to include the recommendations from the Planning and
Zoning Commission with the following additions: the fencing be similar to the
Thousand Springs Subdivision at the height of the lateral; that irrigation access is
guaranteed with piping of the McDonald Lateral; that the Right to Farm Act be
included on the plat; and that the property line be staked; and to instruct the City
Attorney to draw up the Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law.
Bird: I'll second.
Corrie: Motion has been made and seconded to approve the preliminary plat

Public Hearing: CUP 00-010 Request for Conditional Use Permit
for an 1800 s.t. home/office to be used as office space/relocation in
a C-N zone by C.W. Construction, Inc. - West Barrett Drive south
of Franklin Road:
Corrie: Item No. 5 is a public hearing, request tor Conditional Use Permit for
1800 s.t. home/office to be used as an office space / relocation in a C-N zone by
C.W. Construction, Inc., West Barrett Drive south of Franklin Road. At this time I
will open the public hearing and have staff comments first.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, this is for basically a remnant parcel that was
created when Ada County Highway District acquired this piece tor their drainage
pond. So it's essentially split the property. It doesn't make much sense to go
through the subdivision process because, basically, the lots are there. This is the
entrance into Crestwood Estates. There are residential uses surrounding the
property. This is the storage area for the subdivision that has a fence around it,
and you can view it from Franklin Road. This is the remainder that's left as
undeveloped. The applicant has purchased an existing building that was located
on State Street in Boise. The pictures didn't come out very well. Here's the site
plan. They're showing landscaping along the entrance road there, and then also
the 20-foot required planting strip on the other road. They will be using it as an
office. You can't see - these are really rough. The pictures were so dark it was
hard to fix them. It was from an existing structure. We had asked that paint -
more, I guess - it's kind of a bright blue right now, and they had agreed that they
would paint that to be more compatible with the surrounding area. Staff is
recommending approval with the Conditions stated in our comments. That's all I
had.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, Shari, have the - when ACHD split, was that legally done
or is that an illegal parcel?
Stiles: It was basically their one-time split, but it really made three lots because
of the way it was split.
deWeerd: So I guess my question still stands. Is it legal? Has the paperwork
been done properly and that sort of thing?
Stiles: Yes, it was. It was just an awkward situation just because of the way they
left - they basically created a separate lot when they did it.
Meridian City Council Meeting

deWeerd: But your concerns are satisfied as far as the descriptions and that sort
of thing?
Stiles: Yes.
deWeerd: I just had one additional question. I know that there were some
concerns about trees and the landscaping. Have those been worked out with the
applicant?
Stiles: I'm sorry. I'm not-
deWeerd: As far as the number and the size and -
Stiles: They had met the minimum number whether they had asked - I don't
know if anybody from the surrounding neighborhood had asked for additional
trees.
deWeerd: It's in the staff recommendations.
Stiles: Oh. Okay. I'm sorry.
(inaudible discussion amongst Council members)
Stiles: Interestingly enough, this property is zoned that - would permit a
convenience store, but a professional office building required a Conditional Use
Permit.
deWeerd: My question was regarding 1.13 and 1.14 in the recommendation from
Planning and Zoning. I can ask the applicant.
Stiles: They could meet those conditions, and we could require that during the
Certificate of Zoning Compliance if they don't have any problems with that.
deWeerd: Thank you, Shari.
Corrie: Any other questions of Shari? Okay. This is a public hearing. I'd invite
the applicant to step forward and make any comments at this point. Don't have
any? Okay. Anyone else from the public like to issue testimony in this public
hearing of the CUP. Okay. Council, before I close it, do you have any questions
you'd like to ask the applicant or Shari? Okay. All right. Hearing no other
testimony, I'll entertain a motion to close the public hearing.

Public Hearing: V AR 00-005 Request for variance from
conditions of platting and City Ordinance 12-5-2.N regarding
pressure irrigation in the Scottsdale Subdivision by Wolfe
Commercial Enterprises, LLC - south of Franklin Road between
Meridian and Linder Roads:
Corrie: Item No. 6 is a public hearing. This is a request for a variance from
conditions of platting and City Ordinance 12-5-2. N regarding pressure irrigation in
the Scottsdale Subdivision by Wolfe Commercial Enterprises, LLC, south of
Franklin Road between Meridian and Linder Roads. At this time, I'll open the
public hearing on Item No. 6 and have staff comments first.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, this is for property that was fairly recently
rezoned from an R-15 to an L-O. The Dreamland Daycare Center is here. In
their explanation, they have noted that they cannot meet Nampa Meridian
Irrigation District's requirements for drainage for the overflow or wastewater, and
(
(
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 18, 2000
Page 11
so they won't approve a pressurized irrigation system. We did ask that the
condition remained on the plat that the planting strip adjacent to the residential
property be installed prior to applying for building permits, and the applicant has
indicated that that's acceptable. Gary has also asked that the well development
be of $672 per lot should be required if the variance is granted.
Corrie: Gary, I think you have a comment that came from Bruce Freckleton that
stated that you support this request; is that correct?
Smith: Yes, Mr. Mayor.
Corrie; Thank you. This is a public hearing. Is there anyone from the public that
would like to issue testimony first? Oh. Is the applicant here tonight?
Bowcutt: Becky Bowcutt, Briggs Engineering, 1800 West Overland, Boise.
We've been working on this subdivision for quite a long time. As Shari indicated,
one of the problems we had was Nampa Meridian Irrigation District will not allow
you to have your overflow go back into their live ditch. So on most parcels, we
have some type of historical drainage ditch or slew which allows us to overflow
that water. We worked with them for months trying to come to some type of
agreement, and they would not budget. At that point in time, Mr. Briggs at our
office submitted information to Gary Smith for his review as justification if your
staff could support a waiver of the pressurized irrigation requirement. They
indicated that they could. That's what we're asking for this evening. It's not a
residential development; it's an office development, very few lots, small parcel.
As you can see it's an in-fill parcel.
Corrie: Thank you, Becky. Yes, Ma'am.
Holstein: Yes, I'm Linda Holstein. I live across the street from the property.
Corrie: Excuse me. We need to get your name and address, please.
Holstein: Linda Holstein, 870 West Franklin Road, Meridian. I just had a
question for the young lady from Briggs. Is this in any way going to affect the
green feeder box that's sitting there now that we would get our irrigation water
from across the street? It's going to be placed somewhere else on that property,
then?
Briggs: Becky Bowcutt, Briggs Engineering. Any historical irrigation water that's
come through this property and then goes across the street, we have to continue
that on. We have to coordinate that with the District. If that's like your box where
you'd get your water, if any alteration of that box is required, we'd have to have
their approval and make sure you get your water.
Holstein: That's all we needed.

Meridian City Council Meeting
April 18, 2000
Page 13
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, you have our comments dated April 13, 2000.
Ms. Bowcutt has responded. I'd like her to clarify on one of the issues on NO.2
under general requirements it states they're installing a feeder ditch, and that
was in response to all ditches be tiled; I want to make sure that would be a tiled
feeder ditch. This originally had come in with the requirement for a pathway
along the Eight Mile Lateral. They are continuing to have problems with Nampa
Meridian Irrigation District to provide those pathways, and they're just proposing
to fence that off until perhaps the City can come to agreement with Nampa
Meridian to allow those. It's not likely given their present frame of mind that they
would allow it for a live irrigation lateral. We did make an error in our Comment
No. 14 under site-specific. It was Lot 7, Block 1, and I believe the applicant will
be able to address the lots to meet the minimum frontages on all of the lots.
Bruce had made the comment on No. 12, and I'm unclear what he was referring
to, but Ms. Bowcutt has stated she will comply with whatever the requirements
are when the final plat is presented for signature; whether to graphically depict
those easements or handle it in a note. So staff would recommend approval of
the plat with the conditions of staff and agencies.
Corrie: Any comment from the Council? Becky?
Bowcutt: Becky Bowcutt, Briggs Engineering, 1800 West Overland. To answer
Shari's question, it's just a typo on the memo that I sent her. The secretary
dropped off the pipe word. That's supposed to be 15-inch pipe, and there's
something missing. There's a feeder ditch that comes through this property. The
Rutledge Drain is on the boundary here. It's on the school's property. The
Rutledge comes up here, and then it kind of slides over a little bit and it came
across this parcel. We have picked it up and piped it with cooperation from the
school district granting us an easement and piped it right along here and then
across. Then another little - that was the Rutledge. Then another feeder ditch
came here and served the property due north. We piped that with a 15-inch pipe
running right along that exterior boundary. What Shari was talking about with the
Eight Mile Lateral right here, it's quite a large facility. Nampa Meridian, as Shari
indicated, is still not cooperating with us on pathways along these live ditches. I
have provided a separate lot to accommodate the full easement of the Eight Mile
Lateral, and the same is true for the Lakes at Cherry Lane NO.9 on the south
side. So there will be separate lots there if in the future a pathway was ever
allowed, it's provided for as far as being a separate lot, it wouldn't be part of any
of these private, residential lots. I think that's it.
Corrie: Item No. 14 is Lot 7, Block 1?
Bowcutt: Yes.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, just one comment for Becky. I have talked to Doug
Campbell and gave him a contact in the Governor's office that's working on -

working with Nampa Meridian Irrigation District and some of these easements
and how cooperative they are to work with. I would encourage you to mention to
Doug to note this project as well as the other projects that he was going to
discuss with him.
Bowcutt: Okay. That sounds good. One of the big problems we have is with
their attorney. Maybe it'd be nice if your attorney could talk to their attorney.
Corrie: Okay. Any other questions from staff or Becky?
deWeerd: No.
Bird: I have none.

Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, I'd just like to verify with the City Clerk that the
Ordinance for this property has been published. We got a little ahead of
ourselves in processing this application. It shouldn't have been processed until
the annexation was actually approved, but-
Berg : (inaudible)
Stiles: It was approved on the 4th. Is that a problem if it hasn't?
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, if the ordinance has not been
published, we can put this off and after a break, Mr. Berg can check in terms of a
publication date, but if it's not in the requisite amount of time, then we shouldn't
act on this particular deal.
Berg: I'm assuming we'd do it after (inaudible)
Bird: Can you check it out if we take a five-minute break?
Corrie: Or do you want to wait until the next meeting? Can you look it up?
don't want to put you on the spot.
Berg: I don't think I could even do that for sure because we don't even get the
notice back of being published until after the fact, and that's usually about two
weeks after the fact.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, Mr. Unger is here representing the
applicant, and I donlt know if he has seen the Ordinance published.
Corrie: Let the record show that Mr. Unger is shaking his head no. Okay.
Probably a better idea to table it to the 2nd of May.
Bird: Mr. Mayor, Mr. Clerk, do we have a letter of transmittal or anything that we
send in with these ordinances that would show when it was sent or anything?
How do we do that? I'm asking the question.
Berg: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, we fax the Ordinances in. We do a
lot of e-mail transmission, but I think with the Ordinances signed and stuff, we'll
fax them in or mail them in, and then we get a notice, a certified notice from the
Statesman saying they published it in the paper. Like I said, that's a couple
weeks after the fact that we turn it in. I'd have to look through Shelby's file to find
a fax confirmation that we turned it in, but my concern is that wouldn't tell me for
sure when it was published. We have a window of 10 days after it's passed to
get it in. Sometimes we have the map, or sometimes we have to get the map.
Bird: And we don't control when they publish it as long as we get it in.

Berg: We get it in by a certain time. They say it's going to be published in
Friday's papers. Friday is what they set aside for Meridian's - so much for a
daily newspaper. We have a designated date of Fridays.
Corrie: Bob, did you want to say something? Come up here, give you the
privilege. It's your final plat. I have a question that I'm sure you're going to
answer here.
Unger: Bob Unger with Pinnacle Engineers, 870 North Linder Road, Suite 8,
Meridian. I guess the question I have is since the plat is not being signed yet, do
we really have such a legal technicality here that the City Council couldn't go
forward and then approve the final plat with the understanding that it wouldn't get
signed until verification of the Ordinance being published? Could we not go
forward that way?
Corrie: That's a legal question. Counselor, do you have any comments?
Nichols: Mayor, members of the Council, I think that might be okay because
you're going to do Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law anyway. Aren't
you, on these final plats? You're going to have that, so if you tell me, go, then
we'll have it ready to go on the 2nd. That way it's not put off for another two
weeks.
Corrie: Okay. Any other questions, discussion?
Bird: Mr. Mayor, I move that we have the attorney draw up the Findings of Facts
and Conclusions of Law, Decision of Order for Overland Mini Storage, the final
plat approval of 7.25 acres with 4 building lots in a proposed C-G zone at 1230

Subdivision - 138 Lots on 40.69 Acres by Steve Smith - % mile
east of Eagle Road on McMillan Road:
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 18, 2000
Page 17
Corrie: Thank you Bob. Item No.9, this was tabled from April 4, 2000. It's Ada
County Development Services. Request for preliminary plat for Edinburgh
Subdivision, 138 lots on 40.69 acres by Steve Smith, ~ mile east of Eagle Road
on Meridian Road. At this time I'll have staff bring us up to date. I wasn't here at
that meeting, so staff, would you kind of give us a what's happening here?
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, this is for a property in our area of impact. It's
south of the Vienna Woods Subdivision. As you recall, this was the subdivision
that we required to request annexation prior to acting on the plat. We kind of
heard about this - we just got the application in the mail. We hadn't had any
discussion with the applicant or his representative. The plat is generally in
conformance with our Ordinance, but there are some differences. Applicant's
representative has stated that they have redesigned this to meet Ada County's
requirements. I think the design still leaves a lot to be desired, but we also had a
question for Ada County as to why they were calling it a planned residential
development when nothing about it seemed to indicate there were any amenities
or open space. They do show a small 16,000 plus tot lot for 138 homes. I
believe Mr. Nichols has also reviewed the -
*** End of Side 1 ***
-- not the impact fee, the area of impact ordinance with Ada County. He has
addressed - I guess I'll let him talk about - he should speak to what he had
decided. Public Works Department has not had adequate time to review this.
They have no plans of what's being proposed as they are proposing to sewer into
the City of Meridian. I'd also like to ask about the possibility of imposing park
impact fees if the City is going to serve this property with services. We had
prepared some preliminary comments, however, we haven't finalized those and
did not want to give those to you until we had completed a review until we
received all the information we needed.
Corrie: Okay. Mr. Nichols, did you have a comment here?
Nichols: Yes, Mayor, members of the Council, one of the issues that's come up
on some of these development applications that are in the County but within the
area of impact is what is the role of the City with regard to that development. As I
reviewed the impact agreement as it's set out in the Ada County Ordinance, it
states in one portion that all subdivisions are to be approved by the City of
Meridian as well as Ada County. In another place it talks about land-use
applications are to be submitted to the city for comment, and comments are
given no greater weight than any other comment or testimony or evidence. It
would be my opinion that because the Ada County Development Agreement
Ordinance states that subdivisions are subject to City Approval that the City
could impose whatever required conditions are consistent with the City's policy
and Ordinances as part of that development; such as, installation of dry sewer
and water lines; such as, an agreement, an irrevocable consent to annex to the
(
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 18, 2000
Page 18
City when the parcel is contiguous and served by City services, and those things
could be conditioned approval for a subdivision application. I would also like the
Council to note that this is on the agenda for the April 20th Ada County Planning
and Zoning Commission meeting, and I don't know when this application was
first brought to the attention of the City of Meridian. Mr. Berg, do you have
anything in your files that show when it was first brought to your attention?
Berg: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, I don't have a date that it was. Ada
County Development Services date of transmittal is March 15th. We did table it
from a previous meeting. All this was faxed information that's in our packets.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, Ms. Stiles has a comment.
Corrie: Shari.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, I did have a note from Brad that talked to Ada
County. Steve Hopkins, Ada County Planner on the projects said that they have
moved the hearing from April 20th to May 11 th. They have requested that we
have our comments to them by May 5th. I don't know if that will give Gary
enough time to review or if we are going to ask for a complete preliminary plat
application be submitted to the City.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, Gary, does that give you enough time?
Smith: We should be able to look at the preliminary plans for it. The applicant
had come to Public Works Department. I don't recall when it was, some time
ago, and talked to me, met with me about service for this subdivision into the
existing Vienna Woods sewer system. I'd related to them that it was included in
the service area for the lift station that's being constructed in Vienna Woods. We
had some discussions about whether or not the entire project would sewer by
gravity into Vienna Woods or if there would need to be some sewer line built in
McMillan. I haven't seen any details, I don't believe, on that question. We also
talked about the need for construction of a length of sewer line in McMillan
adjacent to this subdivision that would be part of our master plan. Again, I don't
think the question was answerable at the time as to whether this subdivision
would require that sewer in McMillan or not. Anyway, there were some
preliminary discussion with developer and his engineer. We should be able to
look at the preliminary plans for it. The applicant had come to Public Works

and his engineer concerning the subdivision and how it would or could tie to
Vienna Woods. But we should be able to look at the preliminary engineering
plans for sewering of it and domestic water.
deWeerd: Did we have some problems even servicing Vienna Woods, if I
remember right, through the Five Mile, but until the white is developed, that it's -
Smith: We have capacity in the south slew for - well, actually, the capacity
problem is in Locust Grove and the 8-inch sewer line that comes off of
Summerfield, excuse me, it serves up to that charter school. Vienna Woods
would discharge into that 8-inch line into Locust Grove. There was some
additional capacity in that 8-inch line for other properties in this area. The
number of lots has not been absolutely established, but it was somewhere
around 50 lots in excess of the Vienna Woods Subdivision. One of my concerns
when I met with the developer was if we have the City of Meridian has obligated
itself to serve the entire 80 acres of Vienna Woods by approving their preliminary
plat, obviously, we've obligated ourselves to service the two phases of final plat
filed with Vienna Woods. That's probably a question that Mr. Nichols would have
to answer for me as to whether or not the preliminary plat approval of Vienna
Woods has obligated us to serve. If that's the case, take the 80 acres out of the
capacity in that sewer line in Locust Grove, then as I said earlier, there's about
50 lots that's slipped over that, could serve from this subdivision since this is next
in line. I related that to the developer and his engineer when we talked that that
number hadn't been firmly established, but we did have that obligation I felt to
Vienna Woods. So this total subdivision would not be sewerable or serviced. Be
able to be serviced by the existing pressure line discharging into the, call it
Summerfield sewer line in Locust Grove.
deWeerd: So when you give your recommendations, you'll review that, but will
you also include when the white is available, can this then - can the lift station
then pump this into the white?
Smith: Yes. Correct. And we're anticipating that even though we've been
delayed on the white, we're anticipating that we'll probably be into the spring of
2001 with construction completion on the white trunk line. So in terms of
construction on these subdivision in this area, that should be well ahead of what
the need's going to be.
deWeerd: Thank you.
Corrie: Any other comments? Attorney?

Nichols: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, on Mr. Smith's question with regard
to the City's obligation, I believe that it would be reasonable to conclude that
upon the approval of the preliminary plat for x-number of lots and a finding that
you have the capacity to handle that number of lots that it's spaces thereby
reserved for that number in the City's infrastructure.
Corrie: Okay. Applicant, any comments on what you've heard tonight?
Bunderson: Thank you Mr. Mayor and City Council. My name is Hal Bunderson.
I'm a 50 percent partner in this development. We had contact with the developer
of Vienna Woods. They are supportive of the development and the fact that we
would access their pump station to the extent lots would be available or there
would be capacity in the Summerfield Subdivision line. We hope that you would
agree to at least a first phase of whatever capacity that's determined that's
available for sewer, and we'd also hook up to the Meridian water that is already
will be coming down to service Vienna Woods, and we would just access that
also. So what we're requesting to the extent that you need to give us direction
we'll follow that, is that we be granted to use the lots that could be assigned to fill
that capacity so that we could start the latter part of this year, then when the
White Line comes through, then we'd look to the rest. But we're not looking for
approval of the entire subdivision at this time; just what's available for sewer
capacity. I'd be glad to respond to questions as best I can.
Corrie: Council have any qu4tsions at this point?
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, I would like to reserve questions until when our staff has a
chance to review the applications and give staff comments on it. So I would like
to table this until May 2nd to give staff an opportunity to make those comments
and do an analysis of what they can service sewerwise. So I think it'd be
advantageous to wait until then. It's hard to read this little reduction of -
Corrie: Do we have the - have you got the big one? Okay.
deWeerd: Do you need additional copies of that?
Corrie: Where would they come from, Shari? From them or from the-
Stiles: I'm sure the engineer could get us a copy if Mr. Bunderson instructed him.
Corrie: There are some questions that I'd like to go over with the engineer as
well and the P & Z on that. I would recommend that we do table this until May
2nd so we can have some questions answered on that. That's my thought on
that. Any other comments?
Bird: I have none.

Corrie: Okay. I'll entertain a motion to - desires on that one.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, I move that we table the Ada County Development
Services, 00-10 PDR / 00-05 for request for preliminary plat for Edinburgh
Subdivision.
Corrie: Okay. Motion's been made; do I hear a second?
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Motion is made and seconded to table Item No. 9 which the Ada County
Development Services request for the preliminary plat until May 2nd. Any further
discussion?
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, that would be in hopes that we have a complete set of
staff comments at that time. Okay. Thank you.
Corrie: With that addition, is there any other comments? All those in favor of the
motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES, ONE ABSENT
10. Department Reports:
B. Fire Department - Chief Ken Bowers:
1. Approval of Fire Truck Contract:
Corrie: We have some final things that we need to bring up. The Fire
Department request from Chief Bowers, the approval of the fire truck contract.
Bird: Mr. Mayor, I have one question on this contract. We are being charged
.022 percent per day of unpaid balance starting the day the unit leaves the
factory. Where's the warranty that says it gets out here that everything is going
to work and they'll take care of everything? I would think that the final payment
would come after the truck got out here and tested out and everything, and I was
under the impression that that's what Ron had instructed Kenneth to get this
taken care of. I might be wrong, Kenny, but could you answer that? I'd like the
attorney, I'm sure he's - have you read this? Are we being covered very good?
Bowers: Mayor Corrie, City Council members, we will not pay for the truck, the
final payment of the truck, until it has got here and we have gone through our
checklist to go through the whole truck and we go down and pump the truck to
make sure it pumps exactly the way we want it to pump. It'll take three to four
(
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 18, 2000
Page 22
days to drive it out here, and we will have it set up so Doug Young from the rating
bureau will be there within a couple days to pump it, to test it, and before we give
the final approval. So we will not pay for it until it's done.
Bird: Okay. Let me bring something up to the attorney, then. Right down here in
this contract, if we sign it, Hughes Fire Equipment, Inc., will invoice the City of
Meridian at the rate of .022 percent per day of the unpaid balance starting from
the day the unit leaves the factory and until the day that Pierce receives the final
payment. No way shape or form are we going to be penalized for them getting it
out here and before they can test it. That is a penalty. We've (inaudible) AlA
contract which billions of dollars are done from, but we take a contract like this
and we're going to pay .022 percent per day on unpaid balance that we haven't
even got the truck here, haven't even been passed and accepted? I can't speak
for the other two Councilmen, but I'm not for it.
Corrie: Bill?
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, Councilman Bird, members of the Council, It seemed
unusual to me that you start paying the interest from the time it leaves the factory
instead of at the time that the item is accepted. It's - that was not in the last one.
What was there? A $1500 - last time, and so it's essentially the same thing.
What I thought was-
Bowers: We figured it was going to be $300 or $400 what we were going to have
to pay.
Nichols: That's what this percentage works out to. There is a provision in the
contract, basically, that ten days after arrival, to run it through the paces and
accept the apparatus.
Bowers: This is the first time we had this - we've always paid for it before when
we got it, and that's a little different than waiting until it gets here.
Bird: Mr. Mayor, all they've done, Kenneth, is instead of putting a flat fee of
$1500 which we picked up on a minute, they come in here and they invoiced you
for unpaid balance. We haven't even seen the truck, we haven't even approved
the truck. We're paying them $300-some thousand dollars for the truck which is
probably got at least a 25 or 30 percent profit margin in, and they're going to - I
mean, I'll make a motion to approve this if we strike this, and we can strike it.
Then they have to either accept it or not accept it. This is basically saying the
same thing. Instead of saying $1500, they're just saying .022 percent from the
day it leaves the factory. If it takes five days - what if it breaks down coming
out? And what if we don't test it for six days? Until we pay that final, we're
paying that percent. I'm not - jiminy Christmas. It's not like we're buying a
$3000 thing from them. It's not like we're financing it from them. We're putting
(~
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 18, 2000
Page 23
money up front for the chassis. We're giving them over half of it at the
completion of the chassis without even putting on the rest of the stuff.
Bowers: So they know we're going to buy the rest of it.
Corrie: We can certainly make the motion to strike that under the condition that
they do (inaudible)
Bird: Well, I would make a motion that you sign it and Clerk attest it with that
stricken. If they don't accept it, then we come out. That's a motion.
Nichols: Councilman Bird, Mayor, members of the Council, you can strike a
provision by interlineation just Z-line out through that and initial it if that's what
you choose to do, and then we see who blinks.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: We certainly would do it like your answer is yes and no. Okay.
Bird; Mr. Mayor, I move that we accept this contract for the sum of $3,303.00 for
the Fire One Pierce - 2000 pumper with the deletion of paragraph 2 on Page 2
that states Hughes Fire Equipment, Incorporated, will invoice the City of Meridian
at the rate of .022 percent per day of the unpaid balance starting from the day it
leaves the factory until the day that Pierce receives the final payment and for the
Mayor to sign and the Clerk to attest with that stricken.
McCandless: Second.
Corrie: Motion has been made and seconded that we approve the contract, the
Mayor to sign, the Clerk to attest with the strike-out on the second page
beginning with Hughes Fire Equipment invoice the City and final that day Pierce
receives the payment will be struck out and initialed and signed and sent to them
for their approval. Any further discussion?
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, Kenny, is this a standard thing in this kind of contract?
Bowers: Talking with Pierce, it is. For fire trucks. I guess it's like he stateda It's
like the (inaudible) we'll pay flooring fees even before the truck gets on location
from Ford Motor Company. They're paying that. I don't know if that's true or not,
I don't know. It seemed like it'd be more feasible to possibly once that truck is in
our hands is that that's when we would start paying a fee or something like that.
Not like coming out here. Like he said, if it breaks down and it's on the road for
six or seven days, we're not - that's not our liability to be paying for it.
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 18, 2000
Page 24
deWeerd: Well, could it be negotiated that within a certain amount of days upon
receipt of the truck that that could start? If it's a regular policy of this outfit, I
would -
Bird: We'll find out. When the Mayor sends this back with his signature and
Will's on there and it's stricken, we'll find out if they want to negotiate with us.
But you can't negotiate. We've been negotiating before. All they did was take
out the actual figure that showed $1500 and put in .022 percent. That is
ridiculous, Tammy. We're paying money up-front. It isn't as if we're financing the
thing and we're not going to take it, but they want us to pay them up front before
it's ever been accepted or tested. Then when it's tested and it don't work, then
who's fault? We don't have no money to hold from them because we've paid it or
we've paid interest. It's one-sided.
Corrie: Kenny, who is driving this out? Them or us?
Bowers: Pierce. Yes. They will drive it out themselves.
Bird: What do you think, Mayor?
Corrie: I agree with you 100 percent. They'll come back real quick and let you
know how they feel about it, and we can go somewhere else.
Bird: We can talk to them.
Nichols: Mayor, members of the Council, my math is not real good without a little
pocket calculator, but with my preliminary chicken scratches here, I don't think
that this is going to make or break the deal. It's not enough money if I've
calculated it correctly that they'll walk away from it. I've had family members in
the car business, and generally you get 30 days free flooring after the car's there.
Corrie: All right. Any further discussion? If none, roll-call vote.

Corrie: The second one is Fire Department, the contract for Fire State II with
ZGA Architects.
Bird: Mr. Mayor, after having discussion with the attorney at the Pre-Council
meeting and everything, and he certainly has no heartaches over this. He thinks
it's a doable contract. It's something that we've used this architectural firm quite
a few times, and it's always worked out pretty good for us. I move that we accept

Committee, Ron Anderson, Kenny Bowers and ZGA for that large of building that
the general contractor and not have any more change orders. We have, as
Kenny stated earlier, we've probably on that - what was the total cost, Kenny,
1.3 million? Something like that. We had $20,000 in change orders. Chief
Gordon is going to make sure our police station doesn't have ten, but we'll go -
with that I move that we accept this change order NO.5 for the sum of $1 ,360.00.

Corrie: Next item is Mayor, appointments to Commissions, Historical Society.
Did everybody get a copy of this in your mailbox? Okay. On the Historical
Commission, I talked with Lila Hill. She was to be an ex officio member not
particularly on the Board, and she had talked to all the people, and the
appointments will be Malcolm McCoy, Rick Hatcher, Frank Thomason, Tom
Hammond, Lawrence Shapiro. The dates that their commission will come up
again for Council approval will be Malcolm McCoy on 2001; Rick Hatcher, 2002;
Frank Thomason, 2002; Tom Hammond, 2003; and Lawrence Shapiro, 2003 with
Lila Hill as an ex officio. With that recommendation to the Council for the
members of the Historical Commission. Questions?

Bird: Mr. Mayor, I've got one question, and I should have brought this up when
you and I discussed it. I've got a problem with - we've got one person that
seems to be on every committee in the City. I wonder if we stretched too thin or
something sometimes. I don't know how the other Council feel, and I can go
either - I'm certainly not going to sit and argue over it, but I really wonder if -
Corrie: That's a pretty hard Commission to get people to work on. Lila has
talked to all of these people, especially (inaudible). I understand what you're
saying, but this is just a Commission that works with historical parts of the City on
that Commission. I'd say it's - there's not many people that come to those
meetings, but it's an important committee. Those are the only ones that have
really wanted to serve on it.
deWeerd: Did we advertise for that?
Corrie: Lila Hill even went out and knocked on doors. This is the ones that said
they'd be happy to do it.
Bird: If he's a sucker for punishment, then it's fine with me.
Corrie: Malcolm is one of those people that got a second chance to live, and he
is trying to do all he can for everybody. I tried to talk him - tried to do too much,
but he's -
Bird: His health can only last so long. I have no problem with that. I move that
we accept the Mayor's appointment for the Historical Commission. Malcolm
McCoy, Rich Hatcher, Tom Hammond, Lawrence Shapiro with Lila Hill as ex
officio.
McCandless: I'll second that.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to accept the nomination of the five people
on the Historical Commission. Any further discussion? All those in favor of the
motion say aye.

b. Parks and Recreation Commission:
Corrie: Parks and Recreation Commission. I've got the name of Glenn Bentley.
That's - we didn't get anybody from the paper advertising, and that's the only
one that we did get hits. He had his on file before. That's the one we got just
today from the ex-superintendent that said if she would if nobody else would.
deWeerd: Mr. Mayor, the Parks Commission set up the subcommittee to look at
the letters of interest. They had told the people who had indicated an interest for
Meridian City Council Meeting
April18J 2000
Page 28
the last opening that they would be considered for future openings. So to their
knowledge, they still have the seven that applied then as well as any new ones
that came in. They did establish a subcommittee that's going to meet in the next
week to go over those. So I don't think they knew.
Corrie: I realize that they can look at them, but this is the Mayor's decision of
who he wants on that Board. I work with those people as much as possible, but
this is the one that I chose out of that group. Now, if the Council doesn't want to
do it for whatever reasons you want to do it, that's fine. But this is the one that I
put up at this point. Council can either approve or disapprove, and then we'll go
to somebody else.
Bird: Mr. Mayor, You have always before on the Council, on the appointment of
Parks and Recreation Commission along with yourself have had the Parks and
Recreation Commission give you a list of people and then brought them forward
to us. I would hope that you'd think back on this and maybe, I don't think that by
not appointing the guy tonight that we're going to kill the Parks and Recreation
Commission. Maybe you could sit down with the liaison and Tom and maybe the
President and work something out. I'd be the first to say that it's your decision of
who you bring forward. I have no problem with that. Then we have to approve it
if we so approve. But I'd - you've always done it before on this Parks and
Recreation Commission; you've always gone through with the Parks and
Recreation people and stuff, and it might help a little if you - if they think they're
getting circumvented or something. I don't know. That's strictly your decision,
and it's our decision of how we vote.
Corrie: That's correct. But the one that's in front of you tonight is Mr. Bentley,
ex-Council person. He was on that list as well.
deWeerd: My preference would be to wait.
Corrie: You can't wait. I make an appointment, you've got to either accept it or
reject it. Then 1'1( give you some other one.
deWeerd: But if we do that, then this name wouldn't be considered by the group.
Is that what I -
Corrie: That's correct if you rejected that appointment.
Bird: Mr. Mayor, if I could intercede again. Then I think that is what Tammy is
trying to say. She doesn't want this name stricken right out, but she wants to be
able to, with yourself and her and Tom and the Council, the Commission
President, go through these others. Evidently, they' were told that their names
would stay in the active file. The way you've had it, I don't know, but - the active

Corrie: I've made the statement, Mr. Bird, that there were no new people that
came into my office in recommendation from the people themselves. Now,
there's a list that the Commission has, and Mr. Bentley's name was part of those,
and out of that list, I thought that he would make a good one because he is very
mindful of park land, he wants to see that we buy park land, and he's worked with
the Parks and Recreation, he's worked with some of the people here. Now, I feel
that he would be a good person to have on that Parks and Recreation
Commission. Now, Councilman Bird, that's part of the Mayor to make that
recommendation. That's exactly what I'm doing. If you don't want him, then you
reject it and it would go to somebody else, but his name would not come back up
until all of them are over because you rejected that name, and I have ten days to
bring another one up. I have to bring another up. That's according to law. So
am I right, Mr. Nichols? I mean, that's the way it's done; is that correct?
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, I have to admit I'm not well versed
on that particular ordinance, but if that's what you've done in the past, I've got
nodding heads on the Council here that's what your Ordinance says.
Corrie: I'm just bringing this name up because it's the one that I thought would
make a good one for the Parks and Recreation. It's not a Board that makes
decisions for the Council. They make recommendations and then - I don't see
where his recommendations would be different from the Board that you have
there now. Again, this is the one that I'm bringing forward to you. You either
accept it or reject it.
deWeerd: Well, because my preference is built to follow the normal - the way
things have been up to this point, I can't make a motion.
Bird: I have no problem making a motion, then we vote and it's over whether
we'll be sitting here until 10:00 standing here looking dumb. I have no problem
with making a motion and then we can vote. Either accept or rejec~.
deWeerd: I do know that the Commission is trying to get new residents
interested in participating on these committees. That has been one of the main
considerations.
McCandless: Mr. Mayor, not having been on the Council very long, not really
knowing how things are done, but I don't think that Tammy's request is out of line
as far as since she's the liaison to maybe discuss it with you a little bit. I know
it's your prerogative, and I have no objection to Mr. Bentley. I like him very
much, but I just think that Tammy should have a little bit of discussion along with
it before it's voted on, I guess. I don't know how it's been done.
Bird: Well, what do you want to do? You've got to make a motion; we either
accept it or we deny it. If you - Cherie, if you - what you're saying right now, you
vote no and you reject it and you go back.

McCandless: I don't like the idea that he's taken clear off the list.
Bird: He don't have to be, I guess. I don't know. He could come back. We
brought one back a time before, Mayor. We brought one back that we had
retracted the first time because we only had one and we asked for a couple
more. You remember? On the first one, Parks and Recreation Commission that
I sat on - the one that I had a vote on when I was on the Council was we had
only one come forward and you at that time didn't think that was enough. And
we brought two forward, and we brought that one back.
Corrie: Let me make a question here to you. You refused - you didn't refuse.
You turned one down before, and that person has asked not be done again. I
think when you reject somebody, they're not going to come back and take a
second - slug them out. In this case, again, it's the Mayor that has to make an
appointment. I'm making it. You either accept it or reject it. Let's go on with our
business. Let's get this thing done and over with, and, again, that's what it's - he
has to make a recommendation. I'm making one to you. You either accept it or
reject it. That's all I'm asking.
Bird: Mr. Mayor, I move that we -
Corrie: It has to be in the positive.
Bird: I don't know which way to state this. Could I do, I'm like Cherie. I have -
the guy sitting right next to me, I've got all the respect in the world, but by the
same token, I think we need to have a little bit better open mode to get these
things done.
Corrie: I'm telling you, it's not going to make any difference to me how you vote,
but let's do it because it -
Bird: I move that we reject Glenn Bentley as a Commissioner.
deWeerd: I second.

recommendation to have Glenn Bentley on the Parks and Recreation

anything in our Ordinance or anything else that says you can't bring his name
back up. I would, as a Councilman, would wish that you would. Okay?

Gary Benoit has made an indication that he might be interested. We can put that
name in - I will put that name in there as the 11 th one, excuse me, 12th. Keith
Bird's an ex officio. He's not the 11 th.

Corrie: Okay. Gary. You had a request on the funeral home.
Smith: Thank you. At the Pre-Council meeting I handed out a little summary of
some information that I have put together on the decision that needs to be made
as to whether we extend water to the Summers Funeral Home project on the
east side of Eagle Road, south side of Ustick Road. If you'd like we can review
through these items.
Bird: We've pretty well read through them.
Corrie: I think we've already gone through it, Gary.
Smith; The fine lines between what would happen, what it would take of the City
of Meridian to extend the water line to this site and the point where the building
contractor says he will be installing combustible materials is approximately the
same time, within a week, maybe. Our consulting engineer said they could get
water there by August 2nd. I bumped that to August 15th. One of the unknowns
that we've got is crossing under Eagle Road. That requires a specialty
contractor, a boring contractor. That contractor's availability is not known. There
are probably two contractors in the area that do that kind of work. You're a little
bit their schedule for previously committed work. We wouldn't know for sure until
that project was bid. We did have J-U-B Engineers under contract for our City-
wide distribution system improvement project. We can put them right to work on
this as part of that project so we don't have to go back out and select an
engineer. They are ready and willing to get started on it right away. I've talked to
Winston Moore concerning participation. He's willing to cooperate with us in
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 18, 2000

contributing to the cost of the extension. I don't know what extent that is. The
other - the southeast corner is the Hawkins Smith group, and they seem to be
pretty intent on that corner. We've got a little bit of land use issue that when
Shari and I met with them last week, I believe it was Shari expressed a concern
from the Comprehensive Plan for land use in that area. I guess it all boils down
to where the City wants to go with their service area as concerns our impact
boundary. I don't know if you want to re-review the situation with PUC and where
they are in line with municipality and public regulated utilities which isn't very far.
They're not protecting us.
Bird: Mr. Mayor. Gary, you're the Department Head. What's your
recommendation? We go or not? Or do we let United Water have it?
Smith: Well I think we definitely need to get to Eagle Road with our waterline.
Getting under Eagle Road is another issue. That - just because of a timing
situation. I just really have a question more in my mind that we can get there in
time for this project. Summers has indicated that they would participate in the
costs of this waterline extension. They're not going to finance the cost of a line
from their facility to Eagle Road which was the question that you asked at your
planning meeting. They will participate in the cost in a shared participation with
the other property owners and developers in anticipation of a late comer fee. I
don't have a real strong recommendation one way or the other other than Eagle
Road. I think we need to get to Eagle Road.
Bird: Gary, really and truthfully, if we get to the west side of Eagle, we need to
get underneath it, too, because we have two major players on that other side that
are ready to go. We haven't contacted the northeast corner, I don't believe,
regarding - would be a player. They're very well - they're wanting to get moved
out there. As far as drilling that, if you guys - you know exactly where it's going
through to Eagle Road, don't you? We could in the next month or two hire those
people - you're down to maybe one or two as I think Becky said, there's only one
or two that will actually do the drilling, we could take them out and even pre-drill it
before we get the lines there. Can't we do that? Is it possible to do, Gary?
Smith: They would be part of the construction project. The general contractor,
whoever that is, would get them to work right away. They would be - they would
start the boring process while the other excavation was beginning for the
waterlines so that by the time the pipe layers got to Eagle Road, there's probably
a couple weeks involved in getting the casing punched under Eagle Road by the
time they were done with that, they pipe layers should be there from where they
would connect to our existing system. So, yeah. Those two pieces of work
would be going on at the same time. They'd be concurrent.
Bird: Mayor, what do you think?
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 18, 2000
Page 34
Corrie: I think we should go ahead and do it. I don't want to give any to United
Water. I think that's pretty known about me. But I think we should start
procedure and get going with it, and by that time, if they - it's going to take 60
days for United Water to even put the line down and get to service them anyway.
If we get that within the timeline and they start at the other end, we might get
lucky and be able to do that whole thing by their time table. If not, then they'll
have to make that decision. I would like to see us get to at least Eagle Road. If
we can get somebody that (inaudible) under the road, and in the meantime while
we're going down to Eagle Road, that's even to our advantage.
Bird: We'd have to put in the bid going under - I think we ought to throw it into
that, and I took it that Summers told us that they would basically - see that they
got back up to Eagle and - they didn't say. That's the way that I understood it
when I met with them.
Smith: That was your question to them, but they didn't give us an answer that
night. I pressed the architect today about it again, and he said, well, no. What
they had talked about - of course, there is a bit of a problem here because of Jim
McGuire's death. He was kind of leading the charge on that project. So Dave,
the remaining partner, the architect said today that he's got to bring him up to
speed on the things that are on this project, and that's one reason that they are
delayed in getting started with their contractor is because of this transition. But
the architect indicated to me that they did not wish or could not extend the water
line at their cost back to Eagle. They would participate in a - with the other
property owners that were interested in this waterline in anticipation of a late
comer fee, but there hasn't been any discussion about actual dollars, numbers of
dollars.
Bird: Gary, how much of that was - there's 4700 total feet. As I remember there
was 2,000 feet. Two thousand to the west of Eagle and 2700 to the east or am I
opposite?
Smith: I think it's the other way around. Two thousand to the east and 2700 to
the west.
Bird: okay. So the biggest part is coming in here - what's the 2,000 going to
cost the City? Are we going to get hook-up fees and stuff? What does that run a
foot to bring -
Smith: Forty dollars a foot.
Bird: So that'd be $80,000. I'm for - to me, personally, it's worth $80,000
because we'll get it back. I know we've got one player that'll go in a minute on
the east side, and possibly two plus Summers. I'm like the Mayor. I think we
need to get it done. Your recommendation is we approve this? If we do, we'll

make you switch with all that big money you made, Gary. For all those hours you
put in.
Smith: I think it's probably the - based on the people that are there that are
intercede in developing that we need to go ahead and move that way.
Bird: With that, Mr. Mayor-
Corrie: (inaudible) We've got to (inaudible) pull all our hair out.
Bird: Mr. Mayor, I move that we give Gary the go-ahead to proceed with getting
a contract for the laying of 4700 feet, approximately, of the waterline down Ustick
Road through Eagle Road down to - do we go through? Do we go all the way to
our boundary with this, Gary?
Smith: No, sir. We just go down to Summers.
Bird: To the new location of the Summers Funeral Home and to start
immediately.
McCandless: I second that.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded to approve the decision to have the contract
be awarded to extend the waterline from the City limits points on Ustick Road
east on Ustick Road under Eagle Road and then to Summers Funeral Home
property. Any further discussion? Roll-call vote, Mr. Berg.
RoIl-calI: deWeerd, aye; McCandless, aye; Bird, aye
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES, ONE ABSENT
Corrie: Nothing else on the Council agenda.
Watson: John Watson, 1486 North Silverado Place, Meridian. I'll do it real
briefly, and then you can ask questions. I would request that the City Council
revoke the Conditional Use Permit on the strip mall at the intersection of Cherry
and Linder.
Corrie: Reason?
Watson: That is the Dominoes, the Videoland, the Hoagies. I've been working
with the Mayor and the Code Enforcement Officer in excess of 20 months, and
they have been non-responsive in correcting their code violations for noise, light
and trash. What they have is they have a number of lights that are attached to
the top of the building, and they are vented out as opposed to being vented
down. So I have lots and lots of light in my backyard. I can read the paper at
(

midnight. I have been finding Dominoes Pizzas, Videoland boxes, all sorts of
trash in my backyard. Street sweepers at 6:00 in the morning on Saturday
morning 52 feet from my bedroom window. I was - I've been at every Council
meeting that the property owner has come and requested additions to his
building. He talked about a brick wall, putting up trees, he's put up some trees,
and in 20 years they may function properly. They're about two inches thick. I
have a six-foot privacy fence on my side. It's about five % feet, maybe five feet
on his side. I have a commercial grade dipsey dumpster 47 feet from my house.
When they empty the trash at midnight, it sounds like a rifle shot. I've called the
police out specifically last June. Police walked in and said, yes, sir, you have a
problem. It's going to require you to take them to court and we really can't do
much for you. This was at 1 :00 in the morning. The lights are on at 5:00 a.m.
give or take a little bit. They're off between 11 :30 and 12:45 at night. I would
love for somebody to come by my house at midnight. The Code Enforcement
Officer has been working with them for over 14 or 15 months. It hasn't been
solved. Quite frankly, the owner's telling me to pound san9. I know you know
what that means, sir.
Bird: Yeah. I could put it a little differently than that.
Watson: I can take care of the problem, but the Chief won't like it because it'll be
shooting those lights out, and that's not the answer. But something has got to be
done.
Corrie: You want to be careful. Someone might shoot the lights out and you're
the first one they go to. Okay. Council, questions?
Bird: I have a question of Mr. Nichols on this. What's the procedure for this to
start to revoke their - how long do we have to give them to either conform or we
revoke it? We need to have the Code Enforcement Officer write up some
depositions of all that's going on.
Nichols: Councilman Bird, Mayor, members of the Council, the typical process
that I'd look at is I would pull the file and the Conditional Use Permit on this
particular project, review that, talk with the Code Enforcement Officer and see
what that file says, and then come back to the Council or the Mayor with the
recommendation that if it's the Council's or Mayor's recommendation that we
initiate a revocation-type proceeding or some sort of thing that way so we get the
Council authorize to do that because that's an extraordinary item. It's also an
item that's outside the retainer - give you a budget for that and that sort of thing if
that's - or if we look at it and there's another alternative remedy that we
recommend, we go from there. It's obviously important enough to this gentleman
for him to wait this long and come forward to you tonight. It needs to be looked
into.
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 18, 2000
Page 37
Corrie: I think we should follow that procedure. The Code Enforcement Officer
,has been out there many times. He has made many reports, and I think the
Council needs to look at that and see where we're going.
Bird: I was just going to suggest what Mr. Nichols suggested that I think you and
the Department Heads, I know you don't have anything better to do. Would you
get the right stuff done and get it back to us by the 2nd with a recommendation
and at that point we can proceed on? If it's outside of the contract; I'm not
worried about that bill at all. Can you get that back to us by the 2nd? And either
scare the living daylights out of them and get them to conform or take it away
from them.
Watson: You know, to fix the lights, we're only talking about $20 a pop.
Tolsma's fab shop could fix them up right away. He just doesn't want to do it for
lack of a better way to put it.
Bird: Maybe this way the Mayor will work on it and have something come back
recommended on the 2nd one way or the other. Then we'll proceed whatever
way he recommends.
Corrie: We've done it many times, and we'll just add to it and have him make a
final check on it. We've talked many times, and he's got a problem. There's no
question about it. (inaudible) get it fixed and then they do something else.
(inaudible) get the reports from him and then we'll go from there. Thank you for
coming to the Council.
McCandless: Mr. Mayor, I have just one question. If we go this route and they
suddenly decide that it's time for them to conform, then what do we do?
Bird: Well, if they get back within the Conditional Use Permit, then I think they -
I'm sure that the Mayor can give them so many days to go back, and then if they
conform, they've also got to know that whether they get out of conformity, we're
not going to play with them for 14 months again.
McCandless: I think it's a good idea.
Bird: IS that right?
Corrie: I think (inaudible) tonight.
Bird: I'd love them to get back into conformity with the Conditional Use Permit
because you don't want to lose the business or - you don't want to handicap the
owner, but he's not playing the game like the permit says.
McCandless: If you let them get away with it, then -
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 18, 2000
Page 38
Bird: You're going to have it all over the City.
Corrie: If they can't do it, then they won't do it.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, if I may have a point of order here.
Rather than give the report to the Council members and then create a potential
problem with regards to ex parte evidence outside of a hearing process, I would
ask that you not provide those reports. You and I and the Code Enforcement
Officer can meet and make a recommendation to the Council and proceed
accordingly, and then if we have to go through a hearing process, then we don't
have that issue.
Corrie: Get with the Police Department? Have a meeting and we'll get that
information.
Bird: You just bring a recommendation back. We don't want to - Mr. Mayor, if I
could please. Thursday at noon we're meeting at Ada County Highway District.
Mr. Berg gave us an agenda. We need to really be up for it. Are you going to be
there, Mayor?
Corrie: Oh, yes.
Bird; Because you're leaving Thursday. I think Ron will be back. So we need to
be there. The next on the 25th is our workshop. We'll start at 5:30 with the Police
assessment. Fire. I'm sorry. Fire assessment. Then can we move if it'd be
okay with the Mayor and the other Council people, I'd like to move sse up right
behind the fire. We had them as NO.3. Then the rest of the time we can be with
the Planning and Zoning. That way Planning and Zoning doesn't have to come
in and listen to those, too. We can bring them back at a later date.
Corrie: That was at 5:30, right?
Bird: Right. 5:30 for the fire.
Corrie: You're going to bring -
Berg: I haven't made any notice or any time or anything yet, but we can do that.
My suggestion with Councilman Bird was not to have the P & Z there anymore
time than they have to do because they volunteer enough hours. I'd hope that it
wouldn't be too late for them because they've had enough late meetings. If you
figure an hour and a half for the other items, and then we can bring them in
whatever time.
Bird: That would bring them in at 7:00, Will, and then we can go for two hours
with them. We can all get out at a decent hour. Okay with you, Mayor?
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 18, 2000
Page 39
Corrie: That's fine. Don't forget the 28th. That's the Department Heads and the
City Council retreat. So we'll have some qestu8ons. I know the Department
Heads have a lot of them for you. That's from 9:00 to 5:00, and it's at the - in the
shopping center. Ameritel. Bring your swimming suits. Bring your checkbooks
because you're going to have to have lunch on your own, and then we'll pay for it
by the - the Treasurer's going to pay back. We figured you'd kind of want to
have a break. There's Applebee's there and there's some other restaurants. We
have been meeting at the CEO Boardroom. We'll have coffee and donuts in the
first part of the morning and then they're going to bring cookies and stuff in the
second part of it and you'll have your lunch wherever you want to go. If you want
to all go to the same place, I'll opt for the lunch.
Bird: Will you have Will notice it so he don't have a heart attack?
Berg: Mr. Mayor, I just don't notice it until it gets closer to the timeframe because
we seem to sometimes change times, but it's on my calendar to notice, and it will
be noticed.
Corrie: That one is set in stone. I already paid the bill.
Berg: It will be noticed.
Corrie: Any other?
Nichols: Mayor, if I may, with permission of Councilwoman deWeerd, just a
couple of items. We need to get on the decision on the late comer
reimbursements. Perhaps we can put that on the Council agenda for the 2nd of
May so that we can do that. The second thing is, we've been trying not to
inundate the Council with the Ordinances. I see that in the course of the work
I've been doing the last few months, Ordinances sort of fall into two categories.
One is major shifts and new policy change type things like the work we've done
on the finance director. The second is what I would call housekeeping matters
where we need to do something to tweek an ordinance to add something to add
to an existing ordinance. What I'd like to be able to do on those housekeeping
matters is - and it could be at a workshop where I'm not the agenda. It's
hazardous for an attorney to say that he or she will be brief, but I'll do my best to
be brief and have a list of items and say we have this and this and this and this
so that you know what's coming before I actually bring the ordinance with a
revision to the meeting if that's acceptable to you.
Bird: Mr. Mayor, Mr. Nichols, I think that is our plan. That sounds absolutely
great. On all our workshops, if you've got something, we can give you a time.
You bet. That's what we want. We want to look those ordinances over and
tweek and if we've got any questions we want to ask you, instead of sitting here
until one, two o'clock on a Council meeting, I'd ask those same questions that I'd
(
Meridian City Council Meeting
April 18, 2000
Page 40
ask at the workshop if that's agreeable with the Mayor and the rest of the
Council, I'd like to see that done.
deWeerd: I, since Mr. Nichols had mentioned the finance director, and then
missed last week's meeting. What is the timeline on that?
Nichols: Councilwoman deWeerd, Mayor, members of the Council, the Mayor
and I met last week, and I have the description. I have the Mayor's comments. I
am to prepare a draft ordinance and then get that to you as quickly as I can. I
had hoped to piggy back off of Nampa's, but Nampa does not create the position
by Ordinance. So I'm going to have to create one. So I'll - it's on the top of my
agenda to create that.
deWeerd: So we might get a draft?
Nichols: I doubt you're going to have a draft by the 25th. That's-
deWeerd: May 2nd for comment and maybe the next?
Nichols: I would shoot for May 2nd to get it to you even though it wouldn't be on
the agenda. Try to get a draft. The process that I anticipated was that I'd
prepare a draft as I understood our meeting which you were involved. Prepare
the draft, review the draft with the Mayor and then if he's got some comments,
revisions, we'd bring that revised one back to you is what we anticipate in doing.
deWeerd: So May 2nd we'll see it?
Nichols: That's my goal.
deWeerd: Okay. So I'll be expecting it May 2nd.
Corrie: Anything else? Okay. So I'll entertain a motion to adjourn.
Bird: So moved.
McCandless: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded. All those in favor of the motion say aye.

6. I have talked with Hawkins-Smith and they indicate they will also cooperate in the
extension costs of the main.
I have revie\Ned with you, the water line location for United Water Idaho in Ustick
Road and the reported timing for them to extend their line to service this proposed
project.
Construction of commercial facilities at the Southeast and Northwest comers of
Ustick Road will also need city sewer. The extension of city sewer to this area was
placed on a. high priority by you at a recent planning session.
The decision to be made is whether or not the city should extend their services to this
" area, when it is not ~djacent to existing ~ty limits, to protect our Impact Boundary.

FINDINGS OF FACT AND
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND
ORDER OF DECISION
GRANTING A VARIANCE
The above entitled matter coming on regularly for public hearing before the City
Council on April 4, 2000, and Brad Hawl<ins-Clarl(, Assistant Planner for the Planning and
Zoning Department, appeared and commented at the hearing, and appearing on behalf of
the Applicants was Nick Voth from Southern Idaho Builders, Inc., who appeared and
testified, and no one appeared in opposition, and the City Council having received the
transmittal to agencies and having received the variance application, having heard the
testimony presented, being fully advised in the premises does hereby mal(e the following
Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and Order of Decision, as follows to-wit:
FINDINGS OF FACT
I. The City Council tal(es judicial notice of its Zoning, Subdivisions and
Development Ordinances codified at Title II Municipal Code of the City of Meridian
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND -- Page 1 of 8
ORDER OF DECISION GRANTING A VARIANCE /
SARAH AND MICHAEL BLEDSOE (V AR-OO-004)
and all current zoning maps thereof and the COlnprehensive Plan of the City of
Meridian adopted December 21, 1993 Ordinance #629 - January 4, 1994 and Maps.
2. The notice requirements of Idaho Code ss 67-6509, 6516 and S 11-18-3
as evidenced in the record of this matter have been lnet.
3. The Applicant is Sarah and Michael Bledsoe, 2850 North Old Stone
Way, Meridian, Idaho.
4. The location of the subject real property is south of Ustick Road between
Linder Road and Ten Mile Road, Meridian, Idaho.
5. The legal description of the property appertains to the real property that
is included within the Vicinity Map as appears in the record of proceeds of this matter,
as described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto as if set forth in full hereat.
6. The present land use of subject property is presently zoned as (R-4) Low
Density Residential.
7. The proposed land use of subject property is to develop the subject
property in the following manner: The Applicants intend to add on to their house to
provide housing for the care of parents.
8. The Applicant seel<.S a variance from the following provisions of the Meridian
City Code, S 9-1-4 A USE OF CITY WATER REQUIRED and S 9-4-8 A and B
REQUIRED USE OF SEWERS, which provides for "connection to City water and sewer
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND -- Page 2 of 8
ORDER OF DECISION GRANTING A V ARlANCE /
SARAH AND MICHAEL BLEDSOE (V AR-OO-004)
if property is abutting on or having a permanent right of access to any street, alley or right
of way in which there is located a public water or sewer of the City. .. ."
9. The characteristics of the subject property which prevent compliance with
the requirements of the Ordinance are that the property is approximately 405 lineal feet
from the sewer stub at the street that borders their easement/driveway. In order to achieve
the required rate of faIl per foot specified by the Building Code, Applicants would have to
dig to the sewer main in the middle of the street.
1 O. The minimum requirement of the Ordinance that would need to be reduced
to permit the proposed use would be the exception to the requirement of connecting to
water and sewer in order for Applicant to obtain a building permit for their proposed
addition.
II. The difficulty or hardship which would result if requirements of the
Ordinance were applied to the subject property are addressed in a letter from Nick V oth
/ CEO of Southern Idaho Builders, Inc., and attached hereto as Exhibit "B".
12. The unusual or peculiar circumstances which indicate that regulations of the
Ordinance should not be strictly compiled with, is that, the subject property and house has
its own artesian well and septic system. There are no problellls with the well or sewer
system. Flow rate of the well is lllore than adequate for current and proposed use; water
is lab tested at least yearly and septic is pumped every three years, or sooner if needed.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND -- Page 3 of 8
ORDER OF DECISION GRANTING A VARIANCE /
SARAH AND MICHAEL BLEDSOE (V AR-OO-004)
The septic was pumped the fall of 1 999, just prior to the Applicants purchase of the
property. There will be no additional water usage or sewage production with proposed use
as the parents are presently living with the Applicants. The proposed addition would add
a more appropriate and private area in which Applicants' mother can be cared for.
13. Special conditions and circumstances which exist pertain to the Applicants
easement which is narrow and there is a slight slope to the sewer stub, as is addressed in
the letter marked Exhibit "B". To meet City Code would require excessive expense and
to no benefit. The existing water and sewer system is preferred by the Applicants.
14. A literal interpretation of the provisions of the Ordinance addresses the fact
that the new addition will not change the use of the property. The City did not require
the previous owners to connect when the sewer lines were laid. Applicants desire the same
rights enjoyed by the previous owners.
15. The special conditions or circumstances exist that were not a result of the
Applicant's action are that the property existed prior to sewer availability. Applicants
purchased the property in "good faith" partly for the artesian well and septic system. The
previous owners were not required to connect to City systems, and the use of the property
will not change.
16. The variance requested comes from the fact that the Applicants did not
request a change, as they desire to remain the same. The variance is not profit oriented,
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND -- Page 4 of 8
ORDER OF DECISION GRANTING A VARIANCE /
SARAH AND MICHAEL BLEDSOE (V AR-OO-004)
it is due to practicality.
1 7. The granting of the requested variance will not be detrimental to the public's
welfare or injurious to other property in the area.
18. The granting of this variance will not have an effect of altering the interest
and purpose of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
19. The applicant paid the fee established by the City Council for application
variance.
20. The Applicant is required to obtain approval by the Central District Health
Department.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. The City of Meridian has authority pursuant to the enactment of the Local
Land Use Planning Act of 1975 codified at Chapter 65, Title 67, and in particular, by the
provisions of Idaho Code S 67-6516 to provide as part of its zoning ordinance for the
process of applications for variance permits.
2. The City of Meridian has exercised its authority of Idaho Code 9 67-6516
by the enactment as a part of its Zoning and Development Ordinance variances, as set
forth in S 11-2-419 of the Municipal Code of the City of Meridian.

variance will not be detrilnental to the public's welfare or injurious to other property in the

REQUIRED and S 9-4-8 A and B REQUIRED USE OF SEWERS, which provides for

This matter coming before the City Council on April 4,2000, at the hour of
7:30 o'clocl< p.m., at the Meridian City Hall, 33 East Idaho, Meridian, Idaho, upon
the appeal of Meridian High School, by and through its representative, Ace Signs,
and the Council having received the Appeal Application form, and the record in this
matter, and having heard the arguments and presentation of Brad Hawkins-Clark,
Assistant Planner for the Planning and Zoning Department, and Mil(e Carney,
Principal of Meridian High School, and being fully advised in the premises issues the

ORDER GRANTING APPEAL OVER-RULING OF PLANNING - PAGE 1 OF 5
AND ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S DENIAL OF SIGN APPLICATION TO REPLACE EXISTING DISPLAY
WITH A NEW DISPLAY CABINET WITH A MESSAGE CENTER AND ORDER OF REMAND
FINDINGS OF FACT
I. Meridian High School submitted for approval, to the Planning and
Zoning Administrator, a new sign display cabinet with a message center as depicted
in the attached Exhibit "A".
2. The Planning and Zoning Admi11istrator's office denied the replacement
of the existing display sign with a new display cabinet with a message center portion
of the proposed sign upon the basis that it violated the provision of Meridian City
Code S 11-14-3 G, which prohibits signs in all districts, except as otherwise provided
by ordinance with "flashing lights or strobe lights of any color".
3. The Meridian High School, through its representative, Ace Signs, timely
filed an appeal of the Administrator's determination and decision for hearing before
the City Council.
4. The system, which will be used for a three-line digital reader board that
would replace the lighted marquee presently in place on Linder Street, is an LED
(Light Emitting Diodes System), which emits very little light, and will be an amber
colored system with equivalent light from the LED of approximate 5 watt
incandescent system, and will not use the "flash" lnessage system display.
5. Subject to the conditio11s of Finding no. 4, herein, the proposed
Electronic Message Center is not a "flashing lights or strobe lights" prohibited sign,
and therefore the decision of the Administrator of denial is overruled.

AND ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S DENIAL OF SIGN APPLICATION TO REPLACE EXISTING DISPLAY
WITH A NEW DISPLAY CABINET WITH A MESSAGE CENTER AND ORDER OF REMAND
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. The City of Meridian has duly enacted the following ordinance
provisions regulating signs as follows:
1.1 The activities and types of signs shall be expressly prohibited in
all districts except as otherwise provided by this Ordinance.
1.2 Flashing lights or strobe lights of any color.
2. The City ordinances provide at Meridian City Code ~ 11-3-4 for an
appeal, hearing and review by the City Council of an order, requirement, decision,
interpretation or determination by the Planning and Zoning Administrator.
DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPEAL, OVERRULING PLANNING
AND ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S DENIAL OF SIGN APPLICATION TO
REPLACE EXISTING DISPLAY WITH A NEW DISPLAY CABINET WITH A
MESSAGE CENTER OF MERIDIAN HIGH SCHOOL AND ORDER OF
REMAND
Based upon the above and foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AND THIS DOES ORDER THAT:
1. The decision of the Planning and Zoning Administrator of denial of the
Electronic Message Center portion of the proposed sign upon the basis that it
violated the provision of Meridian City Code ~ 11-14-3 G, which prohibit signs in all
districts except as otherwise provided by ordinance with: "Flashing lights and strobe
ORDER GRANTING APPEAL OVER-RULING OF PLANNING - PAGE 3 OF 5
AND ZONING ADMINISTRATOR7S DENIAL OF SIGN APPLICATION TO REPLACE EXISTING DISPLAY
WITH A NEW DISPLAY CABINET WITH A MESSAGE CENTER AND ORDER OF REMAND
lights of any color", is overruled upon the condition that the proposed sign uses a
system for the Electronic Message Center, a LED (Light Emitting Diodes) which emit
very little light, and will be of amber color with equivalent light from the LED of
approximate 5 watt incandescent light, and will not involve the use of the "flash"
message system display and otherwise is in accordance with the presentation and
dimensions as depicted in the attached Exhibit "A".
2. This matter is remanded to the Planning and Zoning Administrator for
further action in accordance with this decision.
NOTICE OF FINAL ACTION

of Meridian. Pursuant to Idaho Code S 67-6521 an affected person being a person

the new zoning - for example, a residential area turning
into commercial area by means of conditional use permits;

example, have the streets been widened, new railroad
access been developed or planned or adjacent area being
developed in a fashion similar to the proposed rezone

sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment
of proposed zoning amendment shall be able to provide
adequately any of such services;
5.5.8 Will not create excessive additional requirements at public
cost for public facilities and services and will not be
detrimental to the economic welfare of the community;

processes, materials, equipment and conditions of
operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property
or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of
traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;

Will:
Pursuant to the City Council meeting held on April 4,2000, and
pursuant to instructions from the Council, please find attached the revised, original
of the CUP Findings for Overland Ministorage. Please note the requirement for the
following has been added to the Findings and the Order as 12.12 on page 10, and as
2.17 on page 15, and in the Order as 2.17 on page 4:
"Applicant shall be required to do a buffering strip around the entire
inside perimeter of the N ampa and Meridian Irrigation District
easement. Additionally, since the area along Nine Mile Creek is within
the N ampa and Meridian Irrigation District easement, the Landscape
Plan, dated March 2, 2000, Sheet LS-l, shall be required to have a
stamp of approval by the Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District, and a
License Agreement shall be required between the Applicant and the
Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District. The Nampa and Meridian
Irrigation District approval and License Agreement must be submitted
to the Planning and Zoning Department as part of the Certificate of
Zoning Compliance submission."
I believe with this change, the Findings were approved at the April 4th
meeting.

Meridian City Council Meeting

working with Nampa Meridian Irrigation District and some of these easements
and how cooperative they are to work with. I would encourage you to mention to
Doug to note this project as well as the other projects that he was going to
discuss with him.
Bowcutt: Okay. That sounds good~ One of the big problems we have is with
their attorney. Maybe it'd be nice if your attomey could talk to their attorney~
Corrie: Okay. Any other questions from staff or Becky?
deWeerd: No.
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Hearing none, I'll entertain a motion on the request for final plat approval
for Wilkins Ranch Subdivision, Item No.7.
McCandless: Mr. Mayor, I move that we approve the final plat approval for 27.61
acres with 81 building lots in an R-4 zone for Wilkins Ranch Subdivision by
Steiner Development, LLC, and instruct our attorney to prepare the Findings of
Facts and Conclusions of Law and Decision of Order and to incorporate the
comments of Planning and Zoning.
Corrie: Is there a second?
deWeerd: Second.
Corrie: Okay, motion has been made and seconded to approve the final plat of
Wilkins Ranch Subdivision, Item No.7, FP 00-006, and to incorporate the
comments of the Planning and Zoning as staff and to have the attorney draw up
the proper order and papers. Any further discussion? Hearing none, roll-call
vote, Mr. Berg.

Meridian City Council Meeting l
Apri118J2000
Page 15
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, I'd just like to verify with the City Clerk that the
Ordinance for this property has been published. We got a little ahead of
ourselves in processing this application. It shouldn't have been processed until
the annexation was actually approved, but -
Berg: (inaudible)
Stiles: It was approved on the 4th. Is that a problem if it hasn't?
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, if the ordinance has not been
published, we can put this off and after a break, Mr. Berg can check in terms of a
publication date, but if it's not in the requisite amount of time, then we shouldn't
act on this particular deal.
Berg: I'm assuming we'd do it after (inaudible)
Bird: Can you check it out if we take a five-minute break?
Corrie: Or do you want to wait until the next meeting? Can you look it up?
don't want to put you on the spot.
Berg: I don't think I could even do that for sure because we don't even get the
notice back of being published until after the fact, and that's usually about two
weeks after the fact.
Nichols: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, Mr. Unger is here representing the
applicant, and I don't know if he has seen the Ordinance published.
Corrie: Let the record show that Mr. Unger is shaking his head no. Okay.
Probably a better idea to table it to the 2nd of May.
Bird: Mr. Mayor, Mr. Clerk, do we have a letter of transmittal or anything that we
send in with these ordinances that would show when it was sent or anything?
How do we do that? I'm asking the question.
Berg: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, we fax the Ordinances in. We do a
lot of a-mail transmission, but I think with the Ordinances signed and stuff, we'll
fax them in or mail them in, and then we get a notice, a certified notice from the
Statesman saying they published it in the paper. Like I said1 that's a couple
weeks after the fact that we turn it in. I'd have to look through Shelby's file to find
a fax confirmation that we turned it in, but my concern is that wouldn't tell me for
sure when it was published. We have a window of 10 days after it's passed to
get it in. Sometimes we have the map, or sometimes we have to get the map.
Bird: And we don't control when they publish it as long as we get it in.

Berg: We get it in by a certain time. They say it's going to be published in
Friday's papers. Friday is what they set aside for Meridian's - so much for a
daily newspaper. We have a designated date of Fridays.
Corrie: Bob, did you want to say something? Come up here, give you the
privilege. It's your final plat. I have a question that I'm sure you're going to
answer here.
Unger: Bob Unger with Pinnacle Engineers, 870 North Linder Road, Suite B,
Meridian. I guess the question I have is since the plat is not being signed yet, do
we really have such a legal technicality here that the City Council couldn't go
forward and then approve the final plat with the understanding that it wouldn't get
signed until verification of the Ordinance being published? Could we not go
forward that way?
Corrie: That's a legal question. Counselor, do you have any comments?
Nichols: Mayor, members of the Council, I think that might be okay because
you're going to do Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law anyway. Aren't
you, on these final plats? You're going to have that, so if you tell me, go, then
we'll have it ready to go on the 2nd. That way it's not put off for another two
weeks.
Corrie: Okay. Any other questions, discussion?
Bird: Mr. Mayor, I move that we have the attorney draw up the Findings of Facts
and Conclusions of Law, Decision of Order for Overland Mini Storage, the final
plat approval of 7.25 acres with 4 building lots in a proposed C-G zone at 1230
East Overland Road to include staff comments. That's automatic.
deWeerd: I'd second it.
Corrie: Motion's been made and seconded to approve the request for the final
plat and the attorney to draw up the Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law
including staff comments for the 5-2-2000 meeting. Any further discussion?
Okay. Mr. Bergl would you take a roll-call vote, please.
Roll-call: deWeerd) aye; McCandless} aye; Bird} aye
