Our first item up is Item 32 Transportation Commission 2025 Annual Report and, Chairman Steed, I will turn this time over to you. It looks like no -- no staffer is going to come forward, so you are -- you are -- you are in charge. Steed: I was -- I was in charge yesterday with a Transportation Commission meeting that ran a lot longer than I hope yours goes tonight. Good afternoon, Mayor, Council. I'm Walter Steed, chair of the Meridian Transportation Commission. From the city website, quote, the Meridian Transportation Commission is a forum for transportation planning and project development that advocates for and promotes the advancement of a safe, efficient and multi-modal transportation network relating to roads, transit corridors, bike lanes, sidewalks and pathways. Unquote. The Transportation Commission was formed in February of 2013 with Ordinance No. 13-152. The Commission consists of nine appointed commissioners and meets here in the Council Chambers on the first Monday of each month. Myself and Jared Smith served as Chair and Vice-Chair respectfully from 2022 to 2024. In 2025 1 was re-elected Chair and Tom LeClaire was elected Vice-Chair. Lilly Miller and Advik Bansal were the youth representatives for the Commission during the year. The Transportation Commission maintains working relationships with all of our ex-officio partners. Representatives from the Idaho Transportation Department District 3, Ada County Highway District, COMPASS, Valley Regional Transit and the West Ada School District all attend our meetings on a very regular basis. Caleb Hood, Brian McClure and Heather Hill Meridian City Council Work Session April 7,2026 Page 6 of 13 provided commission with staff support during 2025. Deputy -- Deputy City Attorneys Tishra Murray and Ali Breshears provide legal guidance and Sergeant Tara Smith and Corporal Trevor Weitzel from the Meridian Police Department provided updates and expertise related to traffic issues, safety and to answer any of our questions that pertain to the MPD. City staff provided monthly updates to the Transportation Commission on ITD and ACHD transportation projects, which are in design or construction. Each meeting also included time for ex-officio agencies to report on current activities, with additional participation from city departments, partner agencies and members of the public. In January and February of '25 the commission finalized and approved recommendations to the City Council regarding the highest priority roadway intersection and community program -- community programs as part of ACHD's 2026-2030 five year plan. This effort reflected the work completed by the Transportation Commission standing prioritization subcommittee and continued coordination with ACHD staff. In March the commission received updates on the Meridian intersection safety program, including implementation of marked crosswalks and pedestrian ramp improvements. The commission also revisited the five year plan prioritization following the City Council discussions and provided additional input on transportation priorities. In April we reviewed the 2024 end of year report, discussed legislative impacts on transportation planning and received updates on downtown pedestrian improvement projects, as well as regional transportation and coordination efforts. In May the commission continued to track progress on pedestrian safety improvements, reviewed updates related to major roadway corridors, including Eagle and Ustick Roads and discussed regional population growth forecast and transit planning efforts. In June the commission received a detailed presentation on the State Highway 69 Kuna and Meridian corridor traffic study, including proposed roadway widening, access management strategies and multi-modal components. We also reviewed ACHD's queuing analysis process and discussed the upcoming five year plan milestones. The regularly scheduled meeting for July was cancelled. In August the commission reviewed proposed amendments to the Unified Development Code related to drive-through standards and initiated a formal review of Transportation Commission bylaws. The commission also discussed transit survey results and received updates on major regional projects, including State Highway 16 and Eagle Road safety improvements. In September the commissioners and staff met for an informational presentation and demonstration at ACHD's new traffic operations center on Franklin Road east of Eagle. It houses their traffic operations teams, video wall for traffic signal cameras and construction materials lab. In October the commission adopted updated Transportation Commission bylaws, improving procedural clarity and governance consistency. Additional discussions focused on subdivision traffic concerns, feasibility studies for new roadway connections and ongoing corridor planning efforts. In November the commission received confirmation that ACHD had formally adopted the updated five year plan, incorporating the city's top transportation priorities. The commission also reviewed updates on traffic calming initiatives, downtown pedestrian improvements and regional capital investment planning. In December the commission reviewed the East 3rd Street extensions alignment, discussed staff transportation project tracking improvements and received final ex-officio updates for the year. We also welcomed a transition of the Meridian Police Department liaison role and discussed anticipated transportation topics for early 2026. A complete Meridian City Council Work Session April 7,2026 Page 7 of 13 record of our minutes can be found in the link that's in your packet. We are very grateful for the opportunity to provide service to the citizens of Meridian, to the Mayor and the City Council regarding transportation systems in our community and, finally, I would like to encourage you to give us the opportunity to work on any transportation-related issues that you think pertinent. We enjoy our work. You can tell by the number of people that have been on that Commission forever. I have only been on it five or six years, but others have been on it a lot longer. So, we really appreciate work that you give us. We enjoy it. We may or may not find an answer or a suggestion that applies or one that you may even agree with, but we do enjoy the work. Thank you very much, Mayor. Simison: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Council, any questions or comments? Overton: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Overton. Overton: Not a question, but a comment. Chairman Steed, thank you again. I can't understate the fact that the Transportation Commission today is one of the most valuable ones we have in our city for the roles you take. Anytime you look at a map of this county we are ground zero when it comes to the challenges of transportation in the future and it's incredibly valuable the expertise you guys bring to the table and help us as guiding us through how we work through the five year plan strategies for moving forward as a city. So, I can't thank you and the rest of your commission enough for the work you guys do. It's immensely important. Steed: Thank you, sir. Little Roberts: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Little Roberts. Little Roberts: Chairman Steed, I will just echo President Overton's expressing his appreciation, because I can't count how many times we have leaned into exactly what has come out of the commission or even knowing that it's been discussed or will say -- ask Caleb can you take this to the commission and he can say it's already been discussed and I was there and this is what the discussion was. So, it is a very very valuable tool to this city. So, thank you very much to you and the commission. Steed: Thank you also. I will pass that on to the commission. Taylor: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Taylor. Taylor: Chairman Steed, thank you. Again I appreciate it just like my fellow colleagues. Really also appreciated the -- the guidance you guys provided us with some feedback Meridian City Council Work Session April 7,2026 Page 8 of 13 on the drive-through discussion. That was a much bigger discussion and conversation than I think we all anticipated, but it was really helpful and I appreciate your comments. did have a question. You know, with transportation there are so many unmet needs that we have. There is so much out there that we want to address. It's almost hard for us as a Council to know where to start, where to put our priorities, which is why I think we value the -- the work that you do is kind of helping us refine what are some achievable goals, where should we sort of prioritize our efforts. So, to that end as you kind of look forward to this upcoming year in your perspective are there areas that are achievable that you -- you think we should start focusing in on when it comes to setting priorities, whether it's little community projects or some connectivity crosswalks, something that's not, you know, a big corridor project, which those are big and complex and -- and multiple years, but is there something that sort of -- that you see happening that's kind of you -- you think we should start thinking about as a Council that's sort of a smaller bite size approach to some of our transportation and connectivity needs? Steed: Thank you, Councilman. Meridian and the valley are such an interesting place regarding transportation as everyone of you know every time you drive down here or drive home from here. The interesting thing about it is that we have a lot of money available through all the different agencies to do a lot of work here, which means that you don't know whether you can get to City Hall in the same route today as the one you used last week. But, on the other hand, there is so many more that need to be done because of the growth and we are aware of that. At the moment I can't pop up with anything particularly to -- to speak to regarding your question. I will be happy to think about it, to bring it up to the commission and ask them and we will certainly get back to you. I think it's a very good question. There are so many things that it's -- it is hard, you are right, to look forward to what to address, as opposed to addressing things that the citizens and other agencies bring to us as questions or problems. But thank you for the question and I will get back to you. Whitlock: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Whitlock. Whitlock: Chairman Steed thank you and -- sorry. Steed: We -- we had the same problem with that one yesterday. Whitlock: User error. Thank you. I -- I guess my first comment would be to echo everything that's been said up here and -- and when you report back to the commission tell them that you did an exceptional job encapsulating all the things that you did last year and -- and bringing them forward to us and, like my colleagues said, we utilized your input, your review and the process that you went through. It is very valuable and helpful to us. I guess just to build on what Councilman Taylor talked about, future and priorities and things like that, we were reminded just as late as yesterday we had another fatality in the City of Meridian at one of our intersections and as you look at safety, as you look at just transportation in general, how do we focus on keeping our Meridian City Council Work Session April 7,2026 Page 9 of 13 people safe, as well as making sure they can get from point A to point B in a timely manner? Steed: Thank you, Councilor. As I have told you before I came from Moscow down here and in Moscow -- the traffic in this valley is the devil itself. They pretty much hate ACHD, because they blame them for the traffic. Having moved here, I'm sorry, but have gone on the other side. I think they do a great job. It moves really well considering the volumes that we are dealing with. You just have to kind of plan your day a little bit around it. You don't get appointments for 8:00 in the morning or 5:00 in the afternoon. But it can be managed. Traffic safety is really important. One thing that I'm impressed with here is the fact that people for the most part in my experience honor 20 mile an hour school zones. I have encountered one coming here this afternoon and that's great. They don't so much in the other communities. But here the public seems to really pay attention and slow down. That does not mean there are not accidents in school zones. That doesn't mean that someone isn't unfortunately periodically even killed in them. But the traveling public here seems to be -- to me as an outsider eight years ago -- to be extremely courteous. They will give you an opportunity to change lanes, an opportunity to cross through stopped traffic and they do pay attention to school zones. So, we need to work -- as of us, Transportation Commission, Council, in any way we can to do everything we can to make it as safe as possible. There is not a specific answer to your question, but it's the best I can do you at the moment. Taylor: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Taylor. Taylor: I have one more question, commissioner. Have you -- in your opinion or if you have been privy to any information from ITD or others in sort of the planning and -- in the valley, once Highway 16 opens do we have a sense how that might relieve traffic flow on our other north-south -- primarily Ten Mile and Eagle Road? There is a lot of decisions we consider when it comes to some land use applications where we are kind of anticipating that there will be a little bit of a relief from sort of that north-south -- from the valley from the freeway to the northern parts of the valley that we think Highway 16 is definitely going to relieve that and we will make it a little bit better. Have you had a chance to study that or be privy to any information? Like what's your sense of what kind of impact you think that will have in terms of relieving congestion on those other arterials? Steed: Thank you, Councilor. Traffic is an interesting beast. It's almost as interesting as parking in that you can do a little something here and watch the changes that occur. It's -- it's the old pull a string here and something moves over there kind of thing. I have not gotten any information in regarding my questions regarding your question. I'm sure that there are traffic studies out there that were done before it was started designed even or maybe construction, but I have asked the specific question of various and sundry people and I don't get blank looks, but I don't get positive direct we know answers either. I use Ten Mile to move from my home to the interstate and I can only Meridian City Council Work Session April 7,2026 Page 10 of 13 hope it provides some relief for Ten Mile. We just don't know. I do believe -- one thing that I have been bringing up every opportunity I get -- and the Mayor's heard this -- is that we are trying to get ACHD to think of Overland extended to the west from Ten Mile as a five lane. It's currently marked as a three. We believe that -- that 16 will go on south of the Interstate and that that connection will need to be made. Meridian is in the middle. You all know that. We -- we don't control what comes to us, we don't control what goes through us or what goes out of us, but we are right in the middle of everything, so it's -- your point is well taken, but no, sir, I -- if -- if I knew the secret answer I would be happy to share it, but I don't. Simison: I will share the information that's been provided. Eagle Road is not expected to see any change in its traffic pattern. Ten Mile is expected to see a reduction and especially with the opening of Locust Grove Ten Mile should see a decent amount of overall reduction, but -- and Meridian Road as well. So, Meridian and Ten Mile, when this original was proposed, were expected to see reduction, but I don't recall to what level. Steed: We can -- we can only hope Locust Grove pulls some over as well. Simison: Any other questions? Okay. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Appreciate you and our -- our monthly gets together to talk all things transportation. Steed: Thank you, sir. Thank you all. 33. Fiscal Year 2026 Budget Amendment in the amount of$260,000 for Information Technology Tenant Improvement Project Simison: Okay. Next item up is Item 33, which is fiscal year 2026 budget amendment for the amount of 260,000 dollars for information technology tenant improvement project. Turn this over to Director McVey with good news at the start and -- but things cost money moving forward. McVey: Absolutely. You are -- you are getting a hang of Public Works. So, I wanted to give you guys a quick update of how things are progressing on our City Hall tenant improvement projects and, then, ask for your approval to start construction on our next phase of the project. So, quickly wanted to give just a little bit of background -- Council initially allotted a little over 400,000 dollars for us to do the study, some design work and as much of the construction work as we could get through. Essentially, that initial funding got us through completing the space plan study, the design of Fire, IT and the Mayor's office and construction on Fire. The good news, like the Mayor mentioned, we are ahead of schedule and we are actually below budget and I would like to give a kudos to Stacy Redmond, our capital facilities project manager. She's a huge part of that. She does amazing work keeping these projects moving and keeping them on track and on budget. One of the -- the highlights is we found a better interim location to house the displaced departments. That's been working really well. And so we are just kind of a visual of where we are at. As I mentioned fire is done. We got our certificate Meridian City Council Work Session April 7,2026 Page 11 of 13 of occupancy today actually. So, we plan to move them back in next week. If you haven't had a chance I have a couple of pictures, but to visit that area up there it's pretty impressive. IT has finished design. We bid the project out, so that's why we are coming to you with real numbers today and, then, the Mayor's office is about 75 percent done with design. So, these are just a couple of projects of the Fire area. Just a reminder we were -- the major part of the project was converting cubicles into offices for supervisory staff. So, it's a pretty impressive. Like I said, ahead of schedule and also under budget. We anticipate around of a 40,000 savings coming from Fire. That primarily came from not having to spend any of the contingency and, then, also having -- because we were able to complete it faster, the general contractor has some savings there as well, so that's really exciting. They have been doing excellent work. The impact on City Hall has also been really minimal, so we appreciate our contractor, too. So, with that, like I mentioned, IT has been bid and we are ready to move our contractor on to the next project with your approval. So, we are asking for a 260,000 dollar budget amendment to fund the remainder of that project and just a reminder this adds three offices and an additional cubicle to the IT space, which was also driven by the need to move supervisors from cubicles into offices. So, that's what we are asking for today and just as a kind of future looking you will see in the FY-27 our next budget request, which will cover the Mayor's office and the community development office flip. Those were all projects that were planned as part of the initial study. We may have the opportunity, depending on how the IT project goes, if it moves as quickly as the Fire project, that we could potentially bring that as a late year budget amendment with some significant savings for keeping the projects contiguous and moving. But we don't have to decide that today, that -- that's just a little heads up of what's coming. So, with that we would be seeking your approval for the budget amendment and, then, following that the next item is approval of the contract to Kreizenbeck Constructors. You may have a question the difference in the budget amount versus Kreizenbeck's contract amount and that -- that difference is that there is some additional costs related to the project. So, we fund contingency, some moving expenses and some furniture expenses that don't go into Kreizenbeck's contract. So, with that stand for any questions. Simison: Thank you, Laurelei. And I will -- I will just add a couple of comments kind of related to this. I -- you know, part of moving this quickly is to keep everybody engaged. So, it, you know, helps in the cost structure all the way through and as mentioned the other stuff will become a part of the budget and I think after that very first budget meeting we will make it -- if Council wants to leave it in we have may just ask for a budget amendment at that exact time, so we have the money, just -- you know, because once we are in July we can't bring in it and if they get done in September we want to be able to continue to get the advantages of what we are seeing with this crew. I have not noticed one impact from this crew from the work they have done. Not heard one hammer, one issue. So, however they are getting the work done in the time that they are doing it -- it's amazing through that and so I just want to point that out, that these guys have been amazing -- your team's been amazing. I don't know how they are doing it. And the fact that we are able to do this with minimal impacts to even staff it's quite impressive. So, with that, Council, any questions for Laurelei? Meridian City Council Work Session April 7,2026 Page 12 of 13 Taylor: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Taylor. Taylor: You -- you kind of partially answered the question, but -- and you might just need to remind me, maybe we discussed it in our budget discussions last year. Remind me why we didn't fund this in our regular budget process. Was it just because of the way timing was working out, we weren't sure how quickly we would move with Fire -- mean I think I'm remembering some of the discussions, but I -- if you could just kind of capture that for me while we are going through a budget amendment and instead of why it wasn't in our -- our budget last year. McVey: Yeah. Great question. So, there was a lot more uncertainty at that point and so we weren't sure exactly the amount to ask for and so it was kind of decided let's see how far we can get through. Let's see how much money that initial allotment gets us and -- but the -- the whole plan was we would come back in FY-26 with the IT costs when we knew them. Simison: Council, any other questions? Councilman Whitlock. Whitlock: If there are no other questions, I would move we approve Item No. 33 fiscal year 2026 budget amendment in the amount of 260,000 dollars for Information Technology tenant improvement project. Overton: Second. Simison: Have a motion and a second to approve Item 33. Is there discussion on the motion? If not, clerk call the roll.
