HISTORY OF CITY'S ROLE IN DAIRY DAYS In 2014, ACHD a) completed the Split Corridor, which added a crossover from Main Street to Meridian Road, b) advised the Dairy Board that it would no longer provide traffic safety devices such as barricades and cones, and c) determined that only certified flaggers and law enforcement officers could conduct traffic control. City staff advised City Council that the costs of providing City services to support the parade, as well as the event and carnival in the park, were increasing, due to increased attendance at these events. An interdepartmental team of City staff members proposed an ordinance for historic Meridian events that would help formalize the City's relationship with the Dairy Board as a partner in providing services necessary to support Dairy Days. City Council passed the ordinance, and since that time, staff has worked with the Dairy Board to identify and waive or pay costs and fees related to City or ACHD regulations. B. HISTORICAL AND FY26 AMOUNT OF CITY'S COMMITMENT, PROCESSES,AND DOCUMENTATION Since 2014, the City has waived all permit fees, absorbed all staffing costs, and paid the vendor directly for traffic control planning and equipment. Before 2022, City Council's directive to this effect was memorialized in the minutes reflecting City Council's authorization of the City's investment (and in Mayor De Weerd's 2015 letter). At that time, the City Attorney's Office was advised not to prepare a written agreement with the Dairy Board regarding the use of City services and/or City facilities for Dairy Days. In 2022, and in subsequent years, the City Attorney's Office was directed to prepare a written memorandum of agreement with the Dairy Board detailing the City's contributions to Dairy Days. A summary of each year's process is as follows: • FY15: On March 24, 2015, the Dairy Board president made a presentation to City Council requesting that the City absorb all costs related to City services and the traffic control plan. Following City Council deliberation, City Council agreed to fulfill this request, committing up to $9,000 for in-kind/staffing contributions and payment for the traffic plan. The Mayor sent a letter to the Dairy Board advising them of the City's contribution to Dairy Days. • FY16: On May 17, 2016, the Dairy Board president made a presentation to City Council requesting that the City absorb all costs related to City services and the traffic plan. On May 24, 2016, the Mayor stated that the cost of the City services necessary to support Dairy Days, including the traffic plan, would be absorbed as part of the departments' respective budgets. • FY17: On May 23, 2017, the Dairy Board president appeared before City Council to make a request for the City's contribution, and, following deliberation, Council authorized an expenditure of$4,600 for the traffic control plan and directed staff to coordinate with the Dairy Board to provide other necessary City services, with all fees waived. The costs of the City services were absorbed as part of the departments' respective budgets. • FY18: On May 22, 2018, the Dairy Board president appeared before City Council to make a request from the City of$6,000 to be used for preparation of the traffic control plan. City Council authorized an amount not to exceed $6,000 to the Dairy Board. The costs of the City services were absorbed as part of the departments' respective budgets. • FY19: On May 21, 2019, the Dairy Board president appeared before City Council to make a request from the City of$6,000 to be used for preparation of the traffic control plan. City Council authorized an amount of approximately $6,000 to the Dairy Board. (The City had budgeted $4,900, so the additional amount required a budget amendment.) The costs of the City services were absorbed as part of the departments' respective budgets. • FY21: On May 18, 2021, the Dairy Board president appeared before City Council to make a request from the City of$8,900 to be used for preparation of the traffic control plan. City Council authorized a not-to-exceed amount of approximately $8,900 to the Dairy Board. (The City had budgeted $5,000, so the additional amount required a budget amendment.) The costs of the City services were absorbed as part of the departments' respective budgets. • FY22: On May 10, 2022, the Dairy Board president appeared before City Council to make a request from the City of$9,249 to be used for preparation of the traffic control plan. City Council authorized this amount. The costs of the City services were absorbed as part of the departments' respective budgets. The Dairy Board also executed a memorandum of agreement with the City memorializing the City's contribution to Dairy Days. • FY23: MPD budgeted $7,950 for services to be provided at the Dairy Days parade - $4,450 for the traffic plan and $3,500 for police services. The direction provided was that from FY23 on, unless otherwise directed by the Mayor or Council President,the Dairy Board would not present to City Council prior to Dairy Days; rather, a Memorandum of Agreement would serve as the Dairy Board's request for, and the City's agreement to,the City's contribution. • FY24: MPD budgeted $10,000 for Dairy Days parade services. • FY25: MPD budgeted $10,000 for Dairy Days parade services. • FY26: MPD has budgeted $9,009 for Dairy Days parade services, which includes staffing by MPD and paying the vendor for preparation of the traffic control plan. Under the proposed MOA, the City also commits to providing Fire Department staffing, Parks and Recreation Department staffing, and the park reservation fee at the City's cost, as well as waiver of th e temporary use permit fee for the event.
