Our first item up is a Public Works proclamation. So, if Laurelei would like to meet me at the podium. So -- so, Council, we are back to that time of year where we get to celebrate our Public Works team and -- with Public Works Week, so I will go ahead and read this proclamation, Laurelei, then, give you the podium to speak all wonderful things about Public Works. Only wonderful things. Okay? McVey: That's all we do. Simison: Okay. Whereas the City of Meridian residents have peace of mind with every faucet turned on, shower taken and toilet flushed thanks to the professional employees of the Meridian Public Works team and whereas each often unseen essential worker, engineer, inspector, operator, technician is committed to protecting our health, safety, environment and quality of life through the 24/7 supply and distribution of clean, safe water, efficient collection and treatment of wastewater and management of solid waste and whereas the Meridian Public Works Department educates the community about their essential role in infrastructure maintenance and service through informative and engaging public outreach and whereas the theme for the 2026 National Public Works Week, Rooted in Service Powered by Community, acknowledge that the roots of service run deep in public works and reminds us that every project, seen or unseen powers, the connection between service and the people it supports and whereas the City of Meridian hosts a Public Works Week Expo that is a free family friendly event that features exhibits, demonstrations and educational activities providing a chance for the community to learn about the department's services, including water and wastewater management, environmental programs, recycling and trash collection and disposal. Therefore, I, Mayor Robert E. Simison, proclaim the week of May 31st through June 6th, 2026, as Meridian Public Works Week in the City of Meridian and call upon all citizens and civic organizations to acquaint themselves with and to recognize the substantial contributions which Public Works employees make every day to our health, safety comfort and quality of life. Dated the 2nd day of June 2026. On behalf of myself and City Council I would like to present this to you and your team and turn the mic over to you. McVey: Thank you. All right. Well, thank you, Mayor and Council, and a little awkward facing forward backwards, but I did want to make sure to thank the Mayor and Council for their continued support of Public Works. We try to stay out of the news. We try to stay unseen, unheard, but I always like to tell our staff what we do is something that the citizens of Meridian use every single day -- every single day of the year and that is not something that very many other departments can claim. So, very proud of our staff for the work they do every day, day in and day out, in the emergency times and, then, also just the day-to-day operations. But as the Mayor mentioned I would like to invite everybody to our Public Works Week Expo, which is on Thursday from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m., a very cool event, family friendly, lots of exhibits for kids to learn about what Public Works does for our community and the environment. Meridian City Council Work Session June 2,2026 Page 4 of 26 Simison: Thank you all. I appreciate it very much and the entire team. I'm sorry I abandoned you. McVey: Thank you. 10. Idaho Humane Society Presentation Simison: Okay. With that we will move on to Item 10, which is the Idaho Humane Society presentation. Chief Basterrechea, any introductory comments from yourself? It's not necessary. Just didn't know. Basterrechea: No, I don't think so. Simison: Okay. Doctor, invite you up. Good afternoon. Rosenthal: Good afternoon, Mayor Simison, Members of the Meridian City Council and city staff. My name is Jeff Rosenthal, chief executive officer of the Idaho Humane Society. We also have with us today much of our leadership team. Leann Gilberg, our chief financial officer. Craig Nixon, our director of animal control services. We have our chief operating officer Kris Shaffer and even a surprise guest Andrea Williams, our assistant director of animal control showed up. We appreciate the City of Meridian's partnership and commitment. Our shared goal is to protect public safety, promote responsible pet ownership, safeguard animal welfare and provide responsive service to a growing community and as Meridian continues to grow so will the demand for animal care and control services. The Idaho Humane Society remains committed to delivering professional, efficient and compassionate services while maintaining strong accountability for public funds. So, we are going to provide the review of prior and current fiscal year performance, discuss service trends and operational outcomes within Meridian and present our proposed fiscal year 2027 budget request. Let's see. I guess I'm in control of this. There we go. Idaho Humane Society continues to deliver meaningful results for both animals and residents in Ada county. During the past year the organization helped save 10,269 pets, achieving a 95 percent save rate for both dogs and cats and, by the way, since the media is here, I just want to note that this was the first year that Idaho has ever achieved from national organizations recognition that we are now a no kill state, which means the aggregate save rate for animals in animal shelters in the state of Idaho is above 90 percent, which means we are no longer euthanizing adoptable animals in the state. That's a distinction that, unfortunately, is not shared by some of our neighbors, including Washington, Oregon and definitely not California and definitely not Utah. So, we are doing a very good job in sheltering, although we don't always get credit for being a positive state in those regards. A critical component of our work is reuniting lost pets with their families and over the past year 1,410 pets were returned home, reducing the burden on shelter resources and sparing families the stress and uncertainty of losing a beloved companion. Preventing over -- pet overpopulation remains a cornerstone of our long-term community animal welfare efforts and nearly 9,900 pets were spade or neutered this year, helping to reduce unwanted litters, shelter intake and future demands on animal control services. It's all Meridian City Council Work Session June 2,2026 Page 5 of 26 linked. Beyond sheltering and enforcement the organization serves as an important community resource through no taxpayer funding of course. Veterinary care is provided to approximately 12,000 privately owned pets. The majority belonging to low income families who might otherwise have limited access to care, keeping residents -- allowing residents to keep their pets out of the shelter is important and economic hardship affects both people and pets. The organization distributed nearly 85,000 pounds of pet food to financially challenged families and Meals on Wheels recipients, allowing them to continue to care for their pets. Animal care and control is more than operating a shelter. Our responsibilities include enforcement of local animal ordinances, state animal welfare and cruelty statutes, emergency response services available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and ongoing efforts to promote responsible pet ownership throughout our communities. One of the greatest strengths of the program is not necessarily the Idaho Humane Society is providing these services, but the fact that this is all delivered through a regional system. Idaho Humane Society provides enforcement and shelter -- sheltering services for every single city in Ada county, as well as unincorporated Ada county, although Garden City currently contracts for just sheltering services, expanding that partnership into full animal control services remains a future opportunity. The collective approach is what makes the program both sustainable and cost effective. Each city maintains its own contract, but we operate as a unified system sharing personnel, facilities, vehicles, dispatch functions, veterinary resources and shelter infrastructure across all participating jurisdictions. In many cases it functions like a joint powers agreement, even though the contractual relationships are separate. The model is really important, because the majority of animal care and control costs are relatively fixed. The shelter has to be staffed every day. Emergency response must be available around the clock. Veterinary services, facilities, vehicles and support systems have to be maintained regardless of fluctuations in animal intake and it takes a big increase in call volume or animals handled to have a significant additional expense incurred and similarly modest decreases in activity don't meaningfully reduce costs. So, for Meridian and Idaho Humane Society the most important factor in maintaining affordable and sustainable animal control program long term is preserving the regional cost sharing structure each jurisdiction benefiting from economies of scale that would be difficult or impossible to achieve independently and it's a lot better for all the residents in Ada county to know there is one place where all the lost pets go, instead of multiple. And I believe Meridian in the past, before contracting with us, went through that calculus of what was going to make sense. So, animal control services continue to experience strong demand in 2025 in Meridian, responding to 2,381 calls for service, exceeding the three year average of 1,857 calls. Through May 15th, 2026, officers have already responded to 776 incidents, slightly above the same period in 2025. Animal control personnel handled 1 ,931 animals during 2025. Also above the three year average of 1,843 animals. Of those animals 1 ,345 were impounded. Activity levels have remained consistent in 2026 with 637 animals handled and 392 impounded through mid-May, both slightly higher than the same period last year. Enforcement and education remain important components of the program with officers issuing 473 citations and warnings for animal code violations during 2025. Animal control also helped reunite 256 lost pets in Meridian with their owners during the year, while returned to owner numbers through May 2026 are slightly below the same period in 2025. Overall service demand and field Meridian City Council Work Session June 2,2026 Page 6 of 26 activity appear to be slightly trending upward and demonstrate the ongoing need for responsive and effective animal control services in this community. The volume and nature of calls received provide insight into public safety, animal welfare and quality of life issues facing our communities. Overall the call data demonstrate that Meridian residents make extensive use of animal care and control services and face challenges similar to those seen throughout the Treasure Valley. During 2025 again 2,381 calls originated from the City of Meridian, representing nearly a quarter of all the calls received. The largest category of calls involved animal cruelty and neglect investigations, dog at large complaints, barking dogs and reports of injured or deceased animals. Together these account for the majority of field activity. So, animal welfare concerns represent a particularly significant area of service in Meridian. Officers responded to 461 reports involving suspected animal cruelty or neglect. Meridian generated 411 dog at large calls and 399 barking dog complaints, demonstrating the importance of proactive enforcement and the ongoing need for education and responsible -- and responsible pet ownership. Public safety calls also comprise a substantial portion of workload in Meridian. Officers responded to 161 attack reports, 62 aggressive animal complaints and 25 bite investigations and these calls often require rapid response, detailed investigation and close coordination with public safety agencies to protect residents while ensuring compliance with local ordinances. Responded to 292 calls involving injured or deceased animals, 189 requests for dog pickups and 39 requests involving cats. Additional -- in addition, Meridian was unique among contract cities in generating a few calls involving loose livestock, something that used to be much more common earlier in my career with Idaho Humane Society. One notable distinction in Meridian is the high number of extra patrol requests, with 168 calls in this category. This reflects strong community engagement as residents and local agencies proactively seek assistance in addressing ongoing neighborhood concerns before they escalate into larger problems and most commonly concerns about dogs running loose or potentially running loose in local parks, schoolyards, sporting venues and events. It's particularly common during the summer when we have kids playing soccer and so forth, we make sure everything is okay before these events. Meridian receives a level of service that's equivalent to that provided in other jurisdictions served by the Idaho Humane Society. For the metric of response time to priority calls for service in Meridian, the average response time was 28.7 minutes, which was faster than Ada county, Boise, Eagle and Kuna. So, that's really good news, because I know a number of years ago we wrestled with the logistics of the Idaho Humane Society in Boise providing timely response throughout the entire county and, frankly, I think that's a good number and you have to realize we and no other animal control agency, whether they are government or not, we don't have sirens, we can't stop traffic, we can't speed, we can't violate traffic safety. There is only so fast we should go. Animal control officers issued 19 citations and 222 letters regarding barking dogs and other violations and 232 education contacts and warnings and that number demonstrates a balanced approach that emphasizes education and voluntary compliance, which we find to be the most successful and cost effective approach, while maintaining the ability to enforce local ordinances and statutes when necessary and I know earlier in my career we were a very ordinary -- we were a very citation-heavy organization and it just does not work as well when it comes to these issues in my opinion and experience. So, before turning the presentation on the 2027 Meridian City Council Work Session June 2,2026 Page 7 of 26 budget, the numbers, over to Leann Gilberg, our CFO, I would like to just briefly mention -- very briefly mentioned just two issues. Our doorman facility where all the animal care and control functions and municipal sheltering occur at Gowen Field is now over 30 years old and requires substantial renovation and replacement of systems and improved conditions for sheltered animals and the public that utilize the building. So, we are currently contracted with Erstad Architecture, the original designer of the building, to work shop this project, which will be achieved in small stages, increments over time out of budgetary necessity and also the logistics of keeping a facility that has to be open 365 days a year open while we fix and upgrade systems. We will look forward to sharing this plan in the near future with Council and city staff, including our fundraising campaign. Also rabbits are probably not a type of -- top of mind issue for this Council, but a policy change has occurred at IHS and you may at some point hear from an unhappy constituent that is not happy about rabbits. Intake of feral domestic rabbits increased by 68 percent in the last year at Idaho Humane Society and was projected to exceed 1,200 feral rabbit admissions to IHS this year. Self-sustaining domestic species, but now feral for generations, rabbit colonies now exist across the Treasure Valley. The vast majority cannot be adopted as pets. The species reaches reproductive maturity at 3.5 months of age and a female can produce a litter every single month. So, this is a species that is very well adapted to sustaining extremely high mortality rates, with no impact on the overall population, which is really dependent on food and this is an irrigated valley in which we have created a rabbit paradise, including a nice place for us to live and the impact of disease is the main controlling factor. So, it also means that impacting the overall population by spade and neuter or removal is completely ineffectual, as well as extremely expensive and so we looked across the entire country and Canada to peer organizations and communities where domestic rabbits have similarly become established in the urban and suburban environment. There are hundreds of such communities. We were looking for one success story. We found none. We found lots of money being spent and so we have sadly been forced to recognize that feral European rabbits -- once upon a time many many generations ago were owned as pets, but they are now a permanent feature in the Treasure Valley most likely and we are no longer routinely admitting such feral rabbits through animal care and control -- the animal care and control shelter. We continue to -- to accept any owned friendly adoptable domestic rabbit from the public as we always have and always will and we have created a web page with information on humane coexistence and mitigating the negative impacts of these animals, which, frankly, a lot of people in this country live in harmony with and with that I will turn the presentation over to Leann Gilberg from the money part of it all. Thank you very much and I will stand by for any questions. Gilberg: Good afternoon. As Dr. Rosenthal said, I am Leann Gilberg, I'm the chief financial officer at the Idaho Humane Society. I'm going to share the numbers of the budget with you. I'm going to try not to get too deep into the weeds, so if you have questions, please, ask while we are going through it or at the end. I will try to keep it somewhat at a ten thousand foot level. As you know we provide animal care and control services for all of Ada county, with the exception of Garden City, and so when we do the budget we do it for the whole program and, then, we allocate it to the different Meridian City Council Work Session June 2,2026 Page 8 of 26 municipalities to participate. As you can see in the materials that you received Meridian's population accounted for over 26 percent of the population that we service. The number of calls serviced by Meridian last year was over -- about 23 percent and the animals handled was just under 20 percent. So, keep those numbers in mind as we talk about the budget allocation. For -- and -- oh, and it comes to just about -- it's just right about five dollars per capita. So, for the budget for fiscal year '27, the total budget for the program is 3.55 million. Of that three -- just over 3.5 million dollars comes from contract fees from the contracting municipalities and based on number of calls, number of animals handled, population base, historical allocations, we allocate that out and the ask for Meridian for fiscal year '27 is 771 ,474 dollars. That equates to 22 percent of the total pool of fees and an increase of three percent or 22,470 dollars from last year. Again, this is using consistent allocation methodologies that we have used in the past and we continue to monitor, if anybody has fluctuations, anybody in the pool, you know, are we seeing large increases in population in certain areas? Are we seeing large increases in calls in certain areas? And things have actually remained fairly stable. So, in the budget you can see that we budget to be a break even. So, total income equals total expenses. Our total expenses projected for fiscal year '27 is 3.55 million and that breaks down into two pools of expenses. First you have got payroll. That accounts for 75 percent of our operation for animal control. It's a very labor intensive operation and that's -- that includes your wages, your benefits, taxes, 401(k) match, health insurance. I mean we all know health insurance has gone up double digits almost every year for the past ten years -- or last five years. But the good news is that we are seeing the pressure come off of those wages. So, we were able to keep our budget for fiscal year '27 very close to the budget for fiscal year '26, with only a 30,000 dollar over -- overall increase in payroll-related costs for fiscal year '27 and we break our payroll -- if you are interested in how we do the actual budgeting, the payroll is comprised of three different buckets of personnel. You have got animal control personnel. Those are the people that are a hundred percent allocated to the program. It's your officers, your director, your dispatchers and front desk personnel. Then you have got shelter personnel. Those are the people who service the animals in the back. They are the medical, the facilities, the auxiliary programs. They don't get a hundred percent allocated to the program. They get allocated based on usage, based on number of animals that animal control brings in versus animals that IHS brings in and, then, you have got an administrative portion, which is very small, 230,000 dollars, because we, obviously, have HR issues, payroll, accounts payable, accounting support and leadership and communication costs. So, we have a small portion of administrative. This is all consistent with how we have done it for the last many years as I can remember. The bottom line, we are looking at less than a 31 ,000 dollar increase in payroll-related costs for our fiscal year '27 budget. And, then, the second group of expenses is what we would refer to as our operating expenses. That would be supplies, everything from floor cleaner to vaccines, facilities costs, utilities. We have a lease. Repairs and maintenance on vehicles, on the building, on the washers and dryers. Computers, laptops for the officers. Gas. We all know what gas is doing. Professional services. We have to do an audit every year. We have to file a tax return every year. So, all of that factors in. All these costs factor in. Insurance was a huge issue for us the last couple of years. Trying to find an insurance company who wanted to insure the animal Meridian City Council Work Session June 2,2026 Page 9 of 26 control program was a bit challenging. It's not a line of insurance that many insurance providers want to cover. We were able to secure a good plan, but it was at a little bit higher cost. So, overall for our operating expenses we are looking at about a five and a half percent increase for the year, which is 47,000 dollars. Not bad. And so total expenses for the year -- it's about a 78,000 dollar increase is what we are looking at and so, again, Meridian's portion of that is, you know, 22,000, 22 percent of the total program cost and if you -- you know, you look at it as for Meridian for just about 2,100 dollars a day you are getting a team of about a hundred people, 365 days a year, who are on call, they are taking care of the animals when we are closed, on holidays, when we are open. They are servicing the public. They are going out in the middle of the night when the officers need assistance 365 days a year for about 2,100 dollars a day to the cost to the city. And, honestly, I mean I have been -- I think it's 14 years now I have been doing this and Meridian came in shortly after I started and it's been a great partnership. You know, we appreciate Meridian and we hope that you guys appreciate what we do and see the value in what we are doing and, honestly, we look forward to continuing the partnership. If you have any questions or comments about any of the budget stuff I'm happy to address them. Simison: Thank you, Leann. Council, questions? Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: Yeah. Would you mind going back a couple of slides, please? Gilberg: Uh-huh. Strader: Thanks. Maybe one more. Yeah. Gilberg: This one? Strader: Yeah. Thank you. That's helpful. So, I just wanted to understand -- so, it looks like our contract is going up by about three percent, but it looked to me like your total animal control contract amount was going up by like 2.3 percent. Gilberg: Very good catch and I have -- I have an explanation for that. Strader: Okay. Gilberg: So, what happened is last year -- I'm budgeting off of our budgeted expenses and our budgeted expenses last year were higher than what we ended up actually contracting for, because we ended up in a negotiation with Boise over some vehicle leases and we allowed them a slight decrease in their fees and so we are actually going to come up with a budget shortfall this year based on that, but we are budgeting based on the total budget, not what we actually received last year, so -- Meridian City Council Work Session June 2,2026 Page 10 of 26 Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: Got it. So, if I'm following -- so -- Gilberg: Our fees last year were actually only three four oh five I think is what it actually is going to come in at as an actual, but the budget which you guys have seen before, is the three four two nine last year. Strader: Uh-huh. Gilberg: So, if you go from the three four oh five that we actually received for fiscal year '26 to where we are going, it's actually a three percent increase. Strader: Okay. Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: Thank you. And, then, how does the increase in City of Meridian's contract compared to our surrounding cities? Gilberg: Everybody is getting a three percent increase this year. Strader: Okay. Gilberg: The reason we do that is because, you know, you guys don't like to see a seven percent increase one year and a one percent or two percent increase the following year. Nobody likes that. And so by keeping a consistent -- you know, as long as there is not outliers. If Eagle or Kuna -- say they double their call service or something, we are going to have to adjust them. They are going to have to pay a higher increase to get up to their fair share. But right now everybody is staying fairly consistent with their usage and their population to where we believe that it's equitable to just share the increase equitably across everybody and we typically do that most years. Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: Maybe one more. So, do you have like maybe a breakdown? It could come after the meeting, but of like what our usage is -- if you don't mind pulling that slide up -- of our usage over time compared to our surrounding cities I think that would be helpful. Gilberg; Well -- so, if you go back -- Madam Councilman, to page five and six, it breaks down by each individual jurisdiction for last year. Not historically, but last year. You know, number of calls, number of reports, number of animals, it -- that is the data for Meridian City Council Work Session June 2,2026 Page 11 of 26 everybody for last year and we have that for every year and we provide that every year to your offices in January. I would be happy to send that back over again if you'd like. Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: I actually think what would be really helpful for me would be like a different metric, like maybe a -- maybe it's in here and I just didn't see it, but like a cost per capita, like if you have a metric that kind of breaks down our cost as a percentage of our population compared to our surrounding cities that -- that would be helpful. Gilberg: I do actually have that, Council Woman. Five dollars -- around 4.87 last year was Meridian. Everybody ranges in the four to five dollar range within the county. Everybody's per capita is not exactly the same and we have talked about doing that, but it just -- it would be really hard to get there without making some really big adjustments for some people. I mean Meridian actually is kind of in a good position to be honest. When you look at the population and the calls versus the percentage of contract. So, we have really tried to keep it -- like I said not hit anybody with -- if we really wanted to equal it out some people would get really hit in a given year or two. Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: I understand. I think -- and that's fine. I think I would be sympathetic about that and certainly if you were to move to that kind of a methodology you could adjust that over time. I wouldn't expect you would have to do that in one single year. But it just occurs to me that it may not be equitable if there are smaller cities that, you know, are not paying their fair share. I just want to understand what that landscape looks like. Gilberg: Absolutely. Strader: Because you have provided our -- you know, our metrics that we could calculate on our population, but it would be helpful to have it for the other cities as well. If you don't mind following up I would like to get that. Gilberg: I do -- I do have cost per capita for the last couple of years that I could send over to you. Strader: Broken down by city. Yeah. Gilberg: Yes. Strader: Thank you so much. Appreciate that. Meridian City Council Work Session June 2,2026 Page 12 of 26 Simison: Council, additional questions? Taylor: Mr. Mayor, I have a question. Simison: Councilman Taylor. Taylor: This is not really a money question. Maybe Jeff might want to answer it, too. It's sort of a --just curious. Have you been receiving calls about dealing with rats? Gilberg: Oh, my goodness. Taylor: I know it's not pets, but I'm trying to get a sense for how this is sort of -- the tentacles of the rats is sort of making its way through the community and what sort of impact that's having on your operations or calls. I just kind of -- maybe it's zero, but maybe it's something where -- something new. Gilberg: Councilman, I probably should let our animal control direct people address that. But I can say to my knowledge we are not getting a lot of calls about rats. I think people are -- we get a lot more calls about rabbits, because I think people understand that the rats are not really a domestic animal issue, so we are not getting a ton of calls about those at this point. Anything to add to that? Nope? Okay. Simison: If you want to speak come -- doctor -- doctor, if you want to come up and speak in the mic, just so you are on the record, please. Rosenthal: I would just say that, you know, with -- with -- with cats in the community being such a controversial thing for so many decades for the Idaho Humane Society and Mayor Simison, you know, I think they are a little more appreciated nowadays, because I do think that in many cases these are an important control on this growing problem. Whitlock: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Whitlock. Whitlock: Jeff, before you go too far -- can you just back up? I think it's slide five and this is just a quick question -- explanation on one line item. What is barrister sheriff's office, city Hall, etcetera, line item? Can you explain that? Rosenthal: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, this is typically things like court duty, dropping reports off specific to a municipality. A lot of it is court time. Those -- those sorts of dispatches. I believe I have that right. Whitlock: Okay. Thank you. Cavener: Mr. Mayor? Meridian City Council Work Session June 2,2026 Page 13 of 26 Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: Dr. Rosenthal, a couple just quick follow-up questions. And, first, thanks. The presentation and getting that to Council early is really appreciated. Gives me an opportunity to review the data before I'm hearing about it, so it gives me -- I had -- I had a laundry list of additional questions that you have addressed in this presentation by getting it to us earlier. So, I appreciate that and I think, second, I just -- I want to commend you on -- you guys have a big mission. I know we are only talking about a portion of it today and I just want to say commend and appreciate everything that you guys are doing. Basically I got just two maybe questions for you and one kind of dovetail on what you talked about previous around extra patrols and that -- that was an outlier that stuck out to me. Can you give me some flavor -- are those extra patrol calls being requested by our residents? Is it being requested by our police department? The sheriff's department? Who is generating that amount of calls from -- from your perspective? Rosenthal: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, animal control staff is here to correct me, but we had a discussion about that, because it stood out to me as well, because I wasn't quite as aware of how common this was in Meridian and it's a mixture of all of them, including I believe parks department, police and residents. So, I think it's an even mix of everyone. And schools in particular. I think. I believe I have that right. And then -- and, then, additionally, one of the reasons this doesn't show up in the Boise numbers is that -- is Boise has a specific parks only animal control team and all they do -- we used to do it and we decided not to do it after a while. All they do is, for example, patrol the Ridge to Rivers Trail system and the parks and they don't do anything else. That's all they do. They ride around on bikes. Cavener: Okay. Rosenthal: So, they serve that role. So, Boise is actually similar to Meridian. They are just having other people do that particular task. Cavener: Got it. Thank you. Mr. Mayor, just one quick follow up. Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: Dr. Rosenthal, I think when you were here a couple of years ago you kind of talked to Council a little bit about what our citizens' expectations should be when they do call for service and I just was hoping maybe -- I don't know if that's changed at all and if you could give us a flavor for what our community's expectations should be if they make a call for an aggressive dog versus a vicious dog versus a dog bite, like what is that level of expectations in terms of response? I know you provided us a -- kind of an average, but can you give us a flavor for how you guys triage those types of calls in Meridian? Meridian City Council Work Session June 2,2026 Page 14 of 26 Rosenthal: Yes. Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, so something like an aggressive animal, a dangerous animal, someone who has been injured, that's a priority one call., So that goes to the very top of the call list for the animal control officers. They are going to immediately -- if they are doing something that's a lower priority they are going to drop that and immediately respond. A very -- a very common way that gets through to us is actually through the other first responders who sometimes are first on the scene, the police, fire, ambulance, that sort of thing. Everything else kind of goes down the list with really barking dogs probably being one of the lower -- we are going to get to it, but we are not -- we are not coming out at, you know, the middle of the night to -- to deal with this and a lot of that's now done administratively, just to make sure that we don't get -- you know. And this time of year we have a lot of dogs in hot cars, so that's a priority one, too. So, an animal in distress. But human safety is going to go to the very top of the list over everything else and folks should respond -- folks calling in should have the expectation that within a couple of minutes of that being received somebody is on their way and, of course, we don't have folks just waiting around at the dorm and shelter, they are circulating in this community all day long in their vehicles and they are dispatched in the field and they are -- and they have all the information on their laptops and it's all -- everything's wired in. Cavener: Just one quick follow up. Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: Do you guys track your response times like for these different pieces here that you are sharing with us and is that something that in addition to the request from Council Member Strader you could share with us as well? Rosenthal: We -- we use an -- Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, we use a police dispatch system that has various functions, including tracking response times. I'm not sure we track every single case type and response, we track various priority calls by category and that's been a work in progress. Cavener: Okay. I think what I would really be looking for is really in the -- the aggressive side, the dog bite side, again, trying to make sure that we have a good understanding about what our -- what your expectations are to respond in terms of timing and what our citizens expectations are, so that if we get a call about that we can provide some of that perspective and clarity, as opposed to reaching out to get that answer at the time. Rosenthal: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, that is included -- that is that priority response time of about 28 minutes, which, as I said, in some cases we are going to have other first responders already there potentially, if it's something really serious. But, otherwise, I think that's about what you could expect overall given the constraints of not being in a police vehicle or a fire truck. Simison: I think our chief wants to weigh in on this one. Meridian City Council Work Session June 2,2026 Page 15 of 26 Basterrechea: Yes. Mayor, Council Member Cavener, our officers would be the first ones to respond to those types of calls and, then, we would contact IHS to come there to do all of the follow up on those. Cavener: Okay. Thank you. Overton: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Overton. Overton: Don't have a question as much as a -- kind of a -- what, a ten year report card? I remember when we first signed that first contract and decided to switch over from what we were doing to work for full time with IHS as a partner to have a comprehensive plan across this county to handle animals and I got to tell you that when I look at where we are today and the numbers, it was bound to happen. The city was growing so fast and the numbers were so high and our police department was pulled every which way having to deal with all these calls on top of us having, what, two animal control officers we were trying to cover the entire city with. I have driven through our city many times and seen multiple vans from IHS driving through the city just randomly, maybe responding to a call, maybe not, but I -- it does me good to see that the response times for residents in Meridian now is one of the quickest across the valley, instead of some of the issues we had in the past. I think this has been a pretty amazing partnership over the years and who has really benefited is not just the city, but who has benefited is all of our residents who they want nothing more than when their animal is lost or they can't find it, they want one place to call to try to relocate their pet and we provided that starting about ten years ago and you guys have done a fantastic job and the fact that you can show the numbers that you are able to return to owners, as well as the numbers that you are able to now adopt out, that's -- that's impressive, because that's a very hard number to achieve. Rosenthal: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, thank you very much, Councilman Overton, and we value this partnership very well. I agree this has been a really good move for everybody. We have a large stake and we have for over a hundred years in animal welfare concerns in the Treasure Valley and just, by the way, it -- you know, when I -- when I mention that -- importance of this collective response of everyone working together, if you look around the state of Idaho at other counties and -- and frequently animal control is not working very well and frequently there is only one city paying the entire bill or only a county or just a few communities and if you look around the state of Idaho at other counties where things aren't going very well and folks in your position, animal control is a constant headache and a problem. It's because they are not doing it the way we are doing it where we are all working together, because this community -- you know, I have lived here most of my life, it's all grown together and everybody doing it themselves doesn't work. This is the way it needs to -- needs to happen for everybody, including the Idaho Humane Society, because this would be very difficult for us as well if we didn't have the buy in from all the other communities and, Council Woman Strader, you know, one of the things that is difficult for a small Meridian City Council Work Session June 2,2026 Page 16 of 26 community when they first buy into this program is things seem very very expensive and so I think this is where absolute total fairness kind of meets practicality. We like to sort of nurture these relationships along and get them up to speed and, then, ultimately it really benefits places like Meridian in decreasing these costs and just looking over at Canyon county where it's -- it's, you know, Caldwell, Nampa, the county and, then, no other community in the entire county pays anything, but that shelter is inundated by their pets, this is really important. Simison: Thank you very much. Appreciate it. And I will just highlight the same item on the extra patrol. I'm probably going to shoot myself in the foot, but I can't recall the last time we have had a -- someone reach out to the -- at least our office asking for patrols in a park because people are walking their dogs. I think those extra patrols have really helped meet the community expectations and address some of those informational issues. I mean I'm sure the police department still gets some of those calls, but I know my office they have reduced dramatically over the last two years and I think it's a direct result of that effort. So -- so, I would say kudos to you on that. Okay. Thank you very much. 11. Animal Welfare and Enforcement Agreement by and between City of Meridian and The Idaho Humane Society for Fiscal Year 2027 Simison: Okay. With that we will move on to Item 11, which is an Animal Welfare -- Welfare and Enforcement Agreement between the City of Meridian and the Humane Society for fiscal year 2027. Overton: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Overton. Overton: I would move that we approve Animal Welfare and Enforcement Agreement by and between the City of Meridian and the Idaho Humane Society for fiscal year 2027. Little Roberts: Second. Simison: Have a motion and a second to approve Item 11. Is there discussion? If not, all in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed nay? The ayes have it and the item is agreed to. Thank you very much. Appreciate you being here. MOTION CARRIED: ALLAYES. 12. Multi-year Agreement with Datalink Networks for Microsoft 365 Licensing Simison: With that we will move on to Item 12, which is multi-year agreement with Datalink Networks for Microsoft 365 licensing by Director Tiede. Meridian City Council Work Session June 2,2026 Page 17 of 26 Tiede: Thank you, Mayor, Members of City Council. I appreciate you taking a few minutes to listen to this item and I will give you some background here. As you have probably seen in the memo that I sent out, this is for an agreement with Datalink Networks for our Microsoft 365 licensing, which includes Office 365 and a number of other licenses. This came up as an opportunity to look at consolidating our licensing under a three year agreement, which will help us avoid some price increases that Microsoft has coming up over the next few years and, then, also helps us to address a license compliance gap that came up. So, this is two pieces. The first is the agreement with Datalink Networks and, then, the next part will be a budget amendment associated with that. So, with that I will stand for any questions. Simison: Thank you. Council, any questions? Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: Pretty big budget amendment and it really caught my attention. Help me understand how the compliance gap occurred and what we are doing to address it going forward. Tiede: So, the compliance gap was observed by our department review of our software licensing and it was something that was subsequently brought up by Microsoft as well. These -- the security components that these licenses address are critical in nature. Again, from the budget amendment you will see that it involves things like conditional access, dynamic groups, hybrid joining network devices to intra and as part of that we reviewed with Microsoft -- and, again, they identified it after we had already highlighted it. So, working with this partner we were able to offset a lot of that cost by baking into a three year agreement and, again, that will help with the compliance that we have. So, without throwing anyone under the bus, our current partner is -- you know, was part of that equation, what happened, and part of this is actually changing partners to a partner that has helped us get through this. So, that's part of what we are -- part of the action that we are taking to address that. Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: So, is -- help me understand the cadence of your licensing audits that your department does. So, is that something that you guys routinely do yearly? Is it something you do every five years? Like help me understand that and how often this kind of an issue would be flagged internally? Part of my concern -- obviously, it's important. Security is extremely important. I just want to understand, you know, kind of how we avoid a miss like this going forward, because a half million dollar budget amendment is a pretty big deal to me and I just kind of want to understand what the Meridian City Council Work Session June 2,2026 Page 18 of 26 compliance plan is going forward to avoid this in the future. How much of it is us versus this partner that needs to monitor this? Like help me understand a little bit better. Tiede: Council Member Strader, fair enough. So, we handle license audits as on an as needed basis in the IT department, because for the most part we maintain license compliance. That is our practice. That is our policy internally. We make sure that we are licensed for software that we need. We identified this as a gap just on an internal review that was brought up randomly to us by a partner and we are like, okay, we need to take a look at this and so we had identified, hey, look, we are -- we are missing these licenses that are a key component of what we are using and as part of that -- one other thing that happens as part of that with Microsoft specifically is they actually do an annual audit of our licenses as well annually. So, that comes up usually in the fall and, then, they have a true up process that basically goes through and tells us, hey, if you have anything that is missing, then, that needs to be addressed and we need to pay for it, which positive for us as we go through those annually and for Microsoft licenses we have not had any of those gaps over the last 15 years of using their products, which is fantastic. Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: So, I -- I -- it just -- it feels to me like some kind of a regular auditing function needs to occur here. It could be maybe random. It could be one department at a time or maybe one department per year. I don't know what that needs to look like. But I just -- I don't want to find ourselves in this position again, especially because -- like this to me is an ongoing expense; right? I mean software licensing -- correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't this an ongoing expense? Tiede: Council Woman Strader, can I -- can I take a step back and kind of explain the licensing here? Strader: Please. Yeah. Tiede: Absolutely. So, this represents an upfront three year agreement for Microsoft licensing in place of an annual agreement or commitment we already have been committed to; right? So, what that means is that 580,000 dollars is in place of numbers such as, you know, 200,000 dollars a year over the next three years. So while it's a big number, it also represents a cost over three years. So, it's -- because of how we are addressing it we are actually saving the city about 140,000 dollars over the next three years versus buying the licenses annually like we have been. So, while it is a budget amendment for that amount, it is not an additional cost into what we would already planned to do. Just to make that clear. Strader: Mr. Mayor? Meridian City Council Work Session June 2,2026 Page 19 of 26 Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: I understand that. But we are now front loading a three year cost into a fiscal year that we had already budgeted for; right? And that's my issue. My issue is I -- it seems like the right decision. I appreciate the cost savings over three years. I think you are doing all the right things. The issue is the uncertainty of not -- if we start to have large budget amendments, just as a general matter; right? Whether we are making smart decisions and we are front loading something for three years in your department and, then, we are front loading something for five years in another department, if that starts to become a regular practice in the City of Meridian what we are going to find is that we are not going to have the level of fiscal discipline that we need in the long term. So, it's just trying to understand how do we get here and what are we doing going forward, so we don't have compliance issues with licenses. Just so I understand -- and, listen, I'm not a technologist by any means, which you know from a brief stint covering your department, but help me understand like -- so is this like people were not purchasing licenses for products they were using? Is that where the compliance gap was? Was it an audit of like these are the software licenses that we have and some of these employees aren't here anymore and now we have some new employees and that -- like exactly what is the compliance gap? Tiede: Council Woman Strader, to get straight to the point, the compliance gap came because vendors and Microsoft telling us that the features that we were utilizing were part of a subscription that we already had based off of bad information that they had. So, it was caused partly by the partner, partly by Microsoft. Microsoft's licensing is extremely confusing, as you may know, but, quite frankly, that's what happened and we are just in a situation of how do we move forward, if that makes sense. So, we understand the licensing. We understand where we are at, what we need to do. Quite frankly, I don't see this coming up regularly. We do look at license usage where we are at on a regular basis when we go to budget for it, when we go to pay for things. So, we have a very good understanding of where we are at -- where we are at. But, again, it was that misinformation from two parties that really created this situation. Simison: And maybe to provide some perspective. This is something we could have just done nothing about and waited and done through the budget process. That was how we normally would have addressed this and -- but they have had an opportunity, based upon these changes, to save some ongoing operational costs over the next three years. I have talked to Todd, we are going to protect -- this is not going to put a blip in our budgets. We are going to protect these dollars, because we know this is an ongoing operational cost. So, it does smooth it out. But it just means that we don't have that extra cost in FY-27, FY-28. Have no doubt that once we get off of this three year we will probably be making up whatever those costs are on a larger ongoing basis when we get to -- if we get to that point or we can stay on -- or we could just do it through our normal process and make these adjustments in the upcoming budget. Taylor: Mr. Mayor? Meridian City Council Work Session June 2,2026 Page 20 of 26 Simison: Councilman Taylor. Taylor: Just probably a couple questions and, first off, this is probably not -- this is more of an observation, but it baffles me that Microsoft would allow us to use any of their products without a license. So, that -- that's not your problem, I think that's more of their problem, but it's hard for me to wrap my mind around the idea that we found these licensing gaps that I feel like is not the city's fault, but those who let us use these licenses. So, to that end a little bit is there any liability to the city or to your department for using -- accessing these licenses without a license that we paid for from Microsoft? Are we going to have any issues or repercussions or liabilities coming up because of this? Tiede: Councilman Taylor, that is part of the concern that we have and why we have decided to move forward at this time, rather than waiting to -- until an October date. I cannot speak to the legal implications fully, but, obviously, we enter license agreements, which are legal contracts when we purchase software or subscriptions from these third parties. The license compliance -- you know, compliance gaps that you mentioned is a common problem across the software industry where oftentimes vendors will allow customers to go over on usage and, then, they will go back and say here is your back charges. Oh. And here is some penalty fees to top it off. So, it's a situation that we have been very good at avoiding for a long time and will continue to do that. But, again, this is just a really bad one off situation. Taylor: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Taylor. Taylor: Yeah. And I will just maybe emphasize what Council Woman Strader said about a regular audit. It seems to me like some kind of plan for regularly auditing our licenses -- because I would be -- I would be concerned about using a license without paying for it, what liabilities that may incur and, then, being fined or a fee because we are not -- we are out of compliance. I think that would be problematic and I don't see the current situation as so much a reflection on the IT department at all, it seems like a problem on the vendor part. But I would hate for us to find ourselves down the road with some unexpected costs. Also just say I -- Council Woman Strader articulated my concerns, too, about the size of the budget amendment. It seems like the right thing to do. Technology security is incredibly important. I think we need to make sure to do it. I don't like it's such a large amount in the current fiscal year that that's difficult, but, you know, I understand what you are saying and your memo was helpful to understand this is not a great ideal situation, but this is how we are trying to navigate, making the best of a bad situation moving ahead, so -- thank you. Tiede: Thank you. Whitlock: Mr. Mayor? Meridian City Council Work Session June 2,2026 Page 21 of 26 Simison: Councilman Whitlock. Whitlock: Maybe a question for you or Todd. But, again, just on the prepayment of this and how that smooths out. I'm used to prepaying on a fiscal year and getting 12 months. How do you do that over a three year fiscal year, so that when we get to 2030 we are not sitting here with another 600,000 dollar decision to make that, again, gets spread out over another three year period. How -- Simison: I will tell you my -- our conversation was that you put the dollar figure in the budget for this -- for FY-27, FY-28, that you would normally pay and you -- Dave and his team don't spend that money and it goes -- drops back into the fund balance. So, it stays within the confines of what your budget is, but you don't spend it and, then, that way you don't lose it in the operational side and it replay -- goes back to where the money came from originally. That's the basic part. If Todd wants to give a different answer, but that's essentially the -- the thing -- if we get to a point in three years where we are going to do another type of -- if there is a value benefit I think that's the conversation that time based upon your fund balance and everything else, but this is not how we normally have done this. But we have done it on a few things where we have had the opportunity to enter into some long-term contracts with software providers. But it's not their preferred way, because it costs them money. Cavener: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: If I'm tracking with what you are saying, then, we are going to budget the amount, but we are just going to carry over funds from budget year to budget year? Is that -- Simison: I will let Todd explain it and Todd -- Cavener: I think I misunderstood. Lavoie: Mayor, Council Members, so good questions. Maybe if I think you twisted it in a different way. Think of like when we prepay a fire truck, we give them two and a half million, then, every so often we have to amortize expense the portion of that's due. So, in year one when they built one third of the truck we will expense one third of the truck. We are going to do the same thing here. We are going to give 580,000 dollars to Microsoft. Cash has left the building. But the expense is something different on your financials. When next year comes I'm only going to expense one third of that 580, as opposed to what would have been most -- let's just say easy math let's call it 600 grand. I'm going to expense 200 grand, as opposed to if we did nothing he is -- Dave is probably going to say it's 225,000 dollars this year. Well, instead of paying 225 we are going to pay 200. That's a win-win for us. We are just doing cash out, but when the actual bill gets here we will have our discount on the bill at that time, if that makes better sense. So, instead of receiving 225,000 dollars next year as an invoice, we are only Meridian City Council Work Session June 2,2026 Page 22 of 26 going to have a 200,000 bill, because we decided to prepay in advance. That is how understand the situation to be. Cavener: Mr. Mayor, then, maybe just a quick follow up -- Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: -- to Council Member Whitlock's exceptional question. We are not, then, necessarily paying for three years, we are paying for two years and a partial of this remaining fiscal year then? Lavoie: Well, the timeline -- I will let Dave tell you exactly how the timeline is, but from my understanding is instead of paying 600 and something thousand dollars for this functional service over this timeline, we are going to pay 580,000 for the same level of service over this three year period. So, the city is saving 150,000 by prepaying, quote, unquote, today. So, the cash is leaving our bank account today, quote, unquote. But the expenses are going to be less in value over totality. Cavener: Okay. But, then, Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: And the savings is really because we are only paying for a partial year. We are getting a prorated amount, as opposed to paying for -- I guess we are paying for 36 months -- are we paying for -- Tiede: Councilman Cavener, correct, we are paying for 36 months. Cavener: Okay. So, back to Council Member Wilcox's exceptional question, three years from now we are going to find ourselves in a similar position, then, right, where we are going to be in the middle of a fiscal year with a request for additional licensing. Tiede: Councilman Cavener, Members of Council, Mayor, the term for the actual agreement would be October 1st of this year and, then, 36 months thereafter. Cavener: Okay. Tiede: Although we are prepaying now. Cavener: Okay. Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: To Councilman Taylor's exceptional question, are we -- are we in a place of risk of having unlicensed software, then, between now and the beginning of the fiscal year when this contract begins? Meridian City Council Work Session June 2,2026 Page 23 of 26 Tiede: From what we have talked to Microsoft and our vendor about, no, because we will have an agreement in place and a path to move forward. Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: Is -- are these licenses general? Like this is just Microsoft 365 for everybody or is this pretty specific for specific features and products? Because -- like one question I would have is whether as part of our audit we determined like, you know what, we actually have some employees that are signed up for this unwittingly, maybe they are using some feature they didn't realize, but they are not actually using it or something like that. Like do we have a way of making sure that we are just paying for what we are actually using and not something greater than that? Tiede: Council Member Strader, we -- the bulk of the cost and the licenses under this subscription is a global -- applies to every city employee. There are maybe ten licenses that don't apply in that same way and those ones are ones that we know that we need. Strader: Okay. Tiede: But most of them are for all city employees. Strader: Thank you. Taylor: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Taylor. Taylor: One follow-up question. What happens if possibly in 18 months from now we find ourselves in a similar situation with this agreement? Is Microsoft going to say, oh, you owe us another hundred thousand for these unused licenses? Are we protected with the current agreement that acknowledges that we are doing everything correctly and that the liability is with Microsoft? Because what I worry about is we didn't intend to find ourselves in this situation, but here we are. What happens if it repeats itself in 18 months? We have a three year agreement. Are we protected? Is there anything in -- in the agreement that we are entering into that provides a level of protection should Microsoft or you through an audit find there is some -- some licenses that we are not paying for? Tiede: Councilman Taylor, so we have a general cushion of around -- I want to say it's about five percent of growth that is covered under our -- any agreement with Microsoft where we can grow up to five percent of licenses and they will just come back as a true up when we do our annual true up with them, where they will just say, okay, this is what you need to pay for moving forward. Meridian City Council Work Session June 2,2026 Page 24 of 26 Taylor: Okay. Tiede: So, that protection is in place. Taylor: Okay. Tiede: The particular gap that we are talking about was far more licenses than that. Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: What --just curious, like what percentage was it? Tiede: For the Microsoft Intra licenses that we are using it was a lot more. I'm trying to think of a percentage off the top of my head. More than a hundred percent more.

This plat incorporates fourteen(14) commercial building lots,thirty-eight(38)residential building lots and eleven(11)common lots. The final plat is consistent with the approved preliminary plat and recorded development agreement. In order for the proposed final plat to be deemed in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plat as set forth in UDC 11-6B-3C.2,the number of buildable lots cannot increase, and Page 1 the amount of common area cannot decrease. Since the number of buildable lots stayed the same,the configuration did not change and the open space has remained the same, Staff deems the proposed final plat to be in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plat as required. IV. DECISION Staff recommends approval of the proposed final plat with the conditions noted in Section VI of this report. V. EXHIBITS A.

Summary Annexation of 8.16 acres of land with the C-C zoning to construct 184 vertically integrated residential units and 18,226 square feet of commercial space across four(4)buildings. B. Issues/Waivers - While staff supports the proposed land uses within the broader mixed-use regional area, concerns remain regarding project timing and integration. The primary issue is that the collector roadway has not yet been constructed, and no timeline or contribution for its completion has been provided.As a result, all traffic would be routed onto Rolling Hill Drive, a local street lacking curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and a signalized intersection at Overland Road. The Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council should carefully consider whether the project's timing is appropriate in the absence of the collector roadway. - The applicant has attempted to address the transition to the northern county residences; however, staff has concerns that the proposed transition does not change the massing of the buildings.The applicant has proposed elevations for buildings A and B that are three(3) stories facing the interior of the site and two (2) stories facing the north.However,the roof height for the buildings remains the same from both perspectives,which is approximately forty-three (43) feet in height. The previous FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION&ORDER FOR(ROLLING HILLS—H-2025-0040) -4- application had buildings that were four(4) stories in height with an approximate height of forty-five(45)feet. The Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council should carefully consider whether the applicant proposal to address the transition to the north is adequate. The MU-R designation emphasizes community building and enhanced functionality throughout the area.However,the current design raises concerns about its lack of connection to the adjacent property to the east.Instead of fostering continuity,the proposed layout appears to create a physical and functional barrier between this development and the future collector that could hinder the integration with surrounding property and collector roadway in the future. - Staff met with the applicant on multiple occasions to discuss potential solutions to the concerns outlined above.Despite these efforts,staff and the applicant were unable to reach a resolution that would positively impact the project and the surrounding area. However,the applicant did make significant revisions to address staffs concerns regarding the lack of open space and amenities by substantially enhancing the project's quality-of-life elements. C.

General Overview The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) contained in the Comprehensive Plan designates this property as Mixed Use—Regional (MU-R). lll. The purpose of the MU-R designation is to provide a mix of employment, retail, and residential dwellings and public uses near major arterial intersections. The intent is to integrate a variety of uses together, including residential, and to avoid predominantly single-use developments such as a regional retail center with only restaurants and other commercial uses. Developments should be anchored by uses that have a regional draw with the appropriate supporting uses. The developments are encouraged to be designed consistently with the conceptual MU-R plan. The site is currently surrounded by R1 and RUT residential county properties to the north, east, and west,with a single-family residents remaining along Rolling Hill Drive & E. View Circle. Additionally, commercial space is located at the north end of Rolling Hill Drive, including a Top Golf facility, offices, restaurants, and Eagle View Apartments comprising 396 units. To the south, directly across Overland Road are Silverstone Apartments consisting of 112 residential units, and Movado Village Apartments consisting of 60 residential units. Furthermore, the property on the northwest corner of Rolling Hill Drive and Overland(abutting this project) is an active commercial roofing company located in the C-G zoning district. The Applicant proposes to develop the site with four(4) vertically integrated residential buildings,which include 18,226 square feet of non-residential space and 184 dwelling units. The proposed non-residential space exceeds the 10%required in the UDC and is designed to offer employment and service opportunities for residents in the development and surrounding area. According to the applicant's narrative, future tenants in the non-residential spaces include gyms, personal and professional services, and offices. To comply with the MU-R designation the project should demonstrate thoughtful integration with surrounding properties by providing a balanced mix of residential, commercial, and recreational uses that align with the region's broader development goals. The MU-R designation emphasizes community building and enhanced functionality throughout the area. However,the current design raises concerns about its lack of connection to the adjacent property to the east. Instead of fostering continuity, the proposed layout appears to create a physical and functional barrier between this development and the future collector that could hinder the integration with surrounding property and collector. This limited connectivity may disrupt infrastructure coordination, constrain cohesive land use planning, and further isolate the nearby county enclave from the region's overall growth. Additionally, staff has concerns regarding the FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION&ORDER FOR(ROLLING HILLS-H-2025-0040) - 10- timing of this project relative to the planned collector roadway. As proposed, the collector roadway would be constructed almost entirely on the neighboring property to the east,potentially shifting the full cost burden onto that developer. Staff has talked with the applicant about helping be part of the solution by building a portion of the collector but was ultimately unsuccessful in this effort. Staff is also concerned that,if this project proceeds before the collector roadway is in place,traffic will be diverted onto Rolling Hill Drive, a local street that does not have curb, gutter, sidewalk, and a signalized intersection at Overland Road. While staff supports the overall concept plan,the timing of development in relation to the collector roadway remains a significant issue. Additionally,with approximately 560 multi-family units already in the vicinity, the Commission and Council should assess whether more high- density housing is truly needed in this location. Comprehensive Plan Policies: • "A mixed-use project should include at least three types of land uses. Exceptions may be granted for smaller sites on a case-by-case basis. This land use is not intended for high density residential development alone." The proposed development includes a vertically integrated residential project which will add to the variety of uses in the larger MU-R designated area to the north and south consisting of office, retail, entertainment, restaurants, hotel uses, and multi family residential. As this area, continues to redevelop, staff will monitor the land uses and plan accordingly to ensure the Mixed-Use Regional vision is upheld. It is also important to note that the immediate area has approximately 560 multi family units already constructed in the area. • "In developments where multiple commercial and/or office buildings are proposed, the buildings should be arranged to create some form of common, usable area, such as a plaza green space." The site plan depicts a common open space area and plaza area adjacent to Buildings A, B, C, and D. Several of the plazas are standalone for that building while there is a central open space that can be used by both residential and commercial users. -"The site plan should depict a transitional use and/or landscaped buffering between commercial and existing low- or medium-density residential development." There are vertically integrated uses proposed on this site, which is adjacent to existing Ada County residential properties. The applicant tried to address the transition from Buildings A and B to the county residences by making the fagade facing the single family residential two (2) stories instead of three (3). However, staff has concerns with the approach proposed due to the roof line remaining the same height as the three (3)story building facing inwards on FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION&ORDER FOR(ROLLING HILLS-H-2025-0040) - 11 - the site. This provides a steep roof pitch that does not limit the roojline to the adjacent residential. • "Supportive and proportional public and/or quasi-public spaces and places including but not limited to parks,plazas, outdoor gathering areas, open space, libraries, and schools are expected; outdoor seating areas at restaurants do not count." An outdoor plaza/gathering area and common grass area are depicted on the conceptual development plan between Buildings A and B with ancillary plazas around buildings C and D. • "All mixed-use projects should be directly accessible to neighborhoods within the section by both vehicles and pedestrians." The proposed development would be accessible by vehicle via Overland Road. However, since the planned collector roadway has not yet been constructed and there is no connection to the northern portion of Rolling Hill Drive, this remains the sole access point, creating a concern for staff. Additionally, while pedestrian connectivity is encouraged within this portion of the broader MU-R area,pedestrian access outside the development is currently limited to an attached sidewalk along Overland Road. This limited network does not fully support the level of connectivity and walkability envisioned under the MU-R designation. However, Staff notes that approval of this development could initiate the broader redevelopment of the area, ultimately improving connectivity; however, the timing of these improvements remains uncertain. • "Consider incomplete and underserved roadways and timing of necessary roadway improvements in all land use decisions." The timing of the future collector roadway connection with Overland Road and future signal is a major concern from staff. Overland Road has an ultimate buildout to seven (7) lanes which will make the access off of Rolling Hill Drive restricted to a right in right out. Without the collector roadway construction this creates an additional 184 units coming off a local street that has not curb, gutter, sidewalk, and signal. • "Consider ACHD's Master Street Map (MSM), Complete Streets Policy and the Transportation and Land Use Integration Plan in all land use decisions." The future collector roadway in this area is identified on the MSM, and staff worked with the applicant to explore potential solutions to enhance connectivity and circulation. However, the applicant indicated that certain options presented challenges, while others were determined to be financially infeasible for the project. As a result, staff concerns regarding traffic and connectivity in the area were not adequately addressed.

Physical Features Five Mile Creek Acreage 8.16 acres Lots One (1) Lot Density 26.4 units per acre B. History In 2023, an application was submitted for five(5)of the subject six(6)parcels with this application. The applicant was requesting annexation and a conditional use permit for a mix of vertically integrated units and multi-family. In total,they proposed 154 dwelling units across 5.89 acres of land. The application was denied by City Council due to the creation of a county enclave, inadequate transition to surrounding areas, and insufficient integration,particularly with the property to the east. That layout also created a narrow,underutilized strip of land between the future road and the edge of the development. In addition,the City Council discussed vehicular connectivity and traffic. This was a large concern for several members of the City Council. C. Site Development and Use Analysis 1. Existing Structures/Site Improvements (UDC 11-1): The proposed site currently consists of six(6)parcels with five (5) single family homes and several accessory structures. If approved,the applicant shall remove all structures within ninety(90)days of the annexation ordinance being recorded. 2. Proposed Use Analysis (UDC 11-2): The proposed development includes four(4)vertically integrated residential buildings totaling 18,226 square feet of commercial space featuring 184 dwelling units. The vertically integrated residential project is a principally permitted use in the C-C(Community Business district)zoning district,in accordance with the Allowed Uses listed in the Commercial Districts Table 11-2A-2. A vertically integrated residential project is subject to the specific use standards in UDC 11-4-3-41. 3. Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2): The proposed development is required to comply with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2B-3 or the C-C zoning district. The proposed development complies with the dimensional standards for the district. 4. Specific Use Standards (UDC 11-4-3): A. A vertically integrated residential project shall be a structure that contains at least two (2) stories. The proposed vertically integrated structures are between two (2) and four(4)stories. FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION&ORDER FOR(ROLLING HILLS-H-2025-0040) - 13- B. A minimum of twenty-five(25)percent of the gross floor area of a vertically integrated project shall be residential dwelling units,outdoor patio space on the same floor as a residential unit may count towards this requirement. The proposed vertically integrated residential project exceeds the required twenty-five (25)percent of the gross floor area for each building. C. A minimum of ten(10)percent of the gross floor area of a vertically integrated project shall be used for nonresidential uses as specified in subsection E below. The proposed vertically integrated residential project exceeds the required ten (10) percent of the gross floor area for non-residential in each building. D. The minimum building footprint for a detached vertically integrated residential project shall be two thousand four hundred(2,400) square feet. The proposed vertically integrated residential project exceeds the required 2,400 square feet for each building. E. The allowed nonresidential uses in a vertically integrated project include: arts, entertainment or recreation facility; artist studio; civic, social or fraternal organizations; daycare facility; drinking establishment; education institution; financial institution; healthcare or social assistance; industry, craftsman; laundromat; nursing or residential care facility;personal or professional service;public or quasi-public use; restaurant; retail; or other uses that may be considered through the conditional use permit process. The applicant has indicated the anticipated tenants are personal and professional services, indoor recreation facilities, and other retail businesses. F. None of the required parking shall be located in the front of the structure. None of the required parking is along the Overland frontage. G. A minimum of fifty(50) square feet of private,usable open space shall be provided for each residential dwelling unit. This requirement can be satisfied through porches,patios, decks, and/or enclosed yards. Landscaping,entryway and other accessways shall not count toward this requirement. The Director may consider an alternative design proposal through the alternative compliance provisions as set forth in Section 11-5B-5 of this title. The applicant is meeting the fifty (50)square feet of private usable open space. D. Design Standards Analysis 1. Structure and Site Design Standards (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-19): 1. Encourage site design that provides an interconnected network of walkways,pathways, streets, and/or drive aisles that combined promote pedestrian and vehicular mobility within the development and connect to adjacent developments. See analysis below. 2. To facilitate the efficient movement of traffic into, out of, and through a site,protect pedestrian and bicycle users, establish an aesthetically consistent street presence and limit the visual impacts of large parking areas on a site. See analysis below. The proposed vertically integrated residential project incorporates an internal network of walkways and micro pathways to connect the buildings with the ten foot multi-use pathways along Overland Road and Five Mile Creek. While these connections do not complete the pathway at this time,future redevelopment of the area will promote enhance mobility and connectivity within the large MU-R area. However, it is important to note that we do not have a timeline for the pathways to be connected to the larger network. The site layout includes a single access point and drive aisles that will provide smooth vehicular movement once the future collector roadway is constructed. In the interim the FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION&ORDER FOR(ROLLING HILLS-H-2025-0040) - 14- flow of traffic will be through the single access point that may back up at certain hours of the day. This is a major concern for staff. Parking areas are strategically placed to minimize visual impact, incorporating landscape buffers, trees, and planters that maintain an attractive street presence. Additionally, the Applicant has provided a central pedestrian connection to get all residents to the main clubhouse and amenities. 2. Qualified Open Space &Amenities (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3G): No open space and amenities are required. However, staff had several meetings with the applicant in which they provided approximately 53,000 square feet of open space and amenities in the form of a pickleball court,bocce ball court,playground,firepit,pathways, two barbeque areas, and a pergola with outdoor seating. Staff is supportive of the changes made,however,the timing of the development in relation to the future collector roadway and signal remains a significant concern. 3. Landscaping (UDC 11-3B): i. Landscape buffers along streets A thirty-five(35) foot wide street buffer is required along Overland Road, an entry way corridor. The landscaping within this buffer is required to be installed per UDC 11-3B. The proposed landscape plan meets this requirement. However, the vegetation coverage appears to be below the 70%required at maturity. If approved, these calculations shall be submitted with the certificate of zoning compliance application. ii. Parking lot landscaping Landscaping is required to be provided along all parking areas per the standards listed in UDC 11-313-8. The proposed landscape appears to meet the minimum requirements. However, the applicant did not dimension specific sidewalk and planters to confirm compliance with overhang requirements. iii. Tree preservation Mitigation shall be required for all existing trees four-inch caliper or greater that are removed from the site with equal replacement of the total calipers lost on site up to an amount of one hundred(100)percent replacement(Example: Two(2)ten-inch caliper trees removed may be mitigated with four 5-inch caliper trees, five(5)four-inch caliper trees, or seven(7)three-inch caliper trees).Deciduous specimen trees four-inch caliper or greater may count double towards total calipers lost,when planted at entryways,within common open space, and when used as focal elements in landscape design. iv. Storm integration An adequate storm drainage system is required in all developments in accord with the City's adopted standards, specifications and ordinances. Design and construction shall follow best management practice as adopted by the City as set forth in UDC 11-3A-18. In addition, any drainage swales shall meet the requirements listed in UDC 11-313-11. v. Pathway landscaping Landscaping is required to be provided along all pathways per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-12C. The applicant does not meet the pathway landscaping requirements and shall revise their site and landscape plan to reflect compliance with the vegetation coverage standards. FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION&ORDER FOR(ROLLING HILLS-H-2025-0040) - 15- 4. Parking (UDC 11-3C): i. Parking analysis Based on the number of bedrooms per unit, a minimum of 225 off-street parking spaces are required for the residential portions of the site. The applicant has provided 228 parking stalls that are reserved for residents,which meets the minimum requirements for parking. In addition to this,the applicant has provided 57 parking spaces that can be used for both residential visitors and commercial customers. The applicant has also designated 10 parking spaces for the community building in the center of the complex. Based on the square footage of the non-residential portion of the site,the applicant has provided 37 parking stalls which meets minimum requirements. In addition to this,the applicant has provided 57 parking spaces that can be used for both residential visitors and commercial customers. The total number of stalls required is 272 spaces and the applicant provided 332 stalls exceeding UDC standards. ii. Bicycle parking analysis A minimum of one(1)bicycle parking space must be provided for every 25 vehicle spaces or portion thereof per UDC 11-3C-6G;bicycle parking facilities are required to comply with the location and design standards listed in UDC 11-3C-5C. The applicant is required to install 13 bicycle parking spaces and is proposing to install 90 bicycle parking spaces, exceeding the UDC requirements. 5. Building Elevations (Comp Plan,Architectural Standards Manual): Goals 5.01.02D and 5.01.02A of the Comprehensive Plan emphasize the importance of building design and landscaping in buffering, screening,beautifying, and integrating commercial,multifamily, and parking areas with existing neighborhoods. The applicant has submitted elevations for the five (5) buildings which do not meet the city of meridian architectural standards. A reason the previous application on this property was denied was due to an inadequate transition to the existing county residences to the north of the development. To address this, the applicant proposed elevations for buildings A and B that are three (3)stories facing the interior of the site and two (2)stories facing the north. However, the roof height for the buildings remains the same from both perspectives, which is approximately forty-three(43) feet in height. The previous application had buildings that were four(4)stories in height with an approximate height offorty-five (45)feet. While staff understands the intent behind the applicant's proposed transition, the overall height of the building has only been lowered two (2)feet in height. The Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council should carefully consider whether the proposed transition is adequate. The final design of all buildings must comply with the standards outlined in the Architectural Standards Manual. 6. Fencing (UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7): All fencing is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-7. The applicant did not depict any fencing with this application. FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION&ORDER FOR(ROLLING HILLS-H-2025-0040) - 16- E. Transportation Analysis 1. Access (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-3, UDC 11-3H-4): Goals 6.01.01 H and 6.01.02B of the Comprehensive Plan emphasize reducing the number of access points onto arterial streets through methods such as cross-access agreements,access management, and frontage or backage roads. These goals also stress the importance of enhancing local and collector street connectivity and incorporating pedestrian access connectors to link subdivisions and promote neighborhood connectivity within the community pathway system. In addition, Goal 6.01.02D emphasizes analyzing incomplete and underserved roadways and timing of necessary roadway improvements will all land use decisions. One full-access driveway is proposed via S. Rolling Hill Drive(local street) off E. Overland Road(arterial roadway). According to ACHD's Staff Report,the Applicant should construct Rolling Hill Drive as 1/2 of a 36-foot wide local roadway with curb, gutter, and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk abutting the site. No access is proposed on E.View Circle(future collector roadway). According to ACHD's Staff Report,the Applicant should construct View Circle as %2 of a 36-foot wide residential collector roadway with curb, gutter, and a 10-foot wide pathway as required by the Meridian Pathway Master Plan. One full-access driveway is proposed via the future collector Street(Movado Way). According to ACHD's Staff Report,the Applicant should dedicate right-of way abutting the site's northeast property line to accommodate the future construction of a planned collector roadway. The current proposal provides a single access point to the proposed development via Rolling Hill Drive. This arrangement raises significant concerns for staff, as Overland is planned to be widened to seven(7)lanes,which would limit access on Rolling Hill Drive to right- in/right-out movements only. In addition,there is no established timeline for construction of the future collector roadway. Staff has had multiple discussions with the applicant regarding this concern and has encouraged coordination with adjacent developers to pursue a solution that would help establish a timeline for construction of the collector roadway and a signalized intersection at Overland. The applicant has indicated that they have reached out to the neighboring developer but were unable to engage in substantive discussions regarding coordination efforts or potential property acquisition. In addition, staff explored several potential solutions with the applicant in an effort to address this concern;however,the applicant was either unsuccessful or chose not to pursue certain options due to it not being financially feasible. While staff acknowledge that this presents a challenging situation for the applicant,the collector roadway is critical to providing adequate connectivity for both this development and the anticipated redevelopment of the surrounding area. Without clearer information regarding the timing and construction of the collector roadway,there is a risk that it may never be constructed,which would be detrimental to access for this development as well as future developments in the area. FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION&ORDER FOR(ROLLING HILLS-H-2025-0040) - 17- As a result, staff finds that the due to timing of the proposed development it is not in the best interest of the city. This concern is the primary basis for the recommendation for denial. 2. Multiuse Pathways (UDC 11-3A-5): Comprehensive Plan policy 4.04.01A ensures that new development and subdivisions connect to the pathway system. UDC 11-3G-5 emphasizes the importance of common open space and amenities being located in areas that maximize pedestrian and bicycle connectivity. The Applicant is proposing to construct an 8-foot wide planter strip with a 10-foot wide multi-use pathway abutting the site on Overland Road consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and Ada County Highway Districts Master Street Map and Roadways to Bikeways Master Plan. 3. Sidewalks (UDC 11-3A-17): All sidewalks around buildings and serving public streets shall be a minimum of five(5) feet in width, except if detached sidewalks are provided on local public streets in residential subdivisions,the minimum sidewalk width may be reduced to four(4)feet. All internal sidewalks within the development appear to meet this requirement; however, the Applicant has not included the dimensions of all the sidewalks on the site plan submitted.In addition, the applicant shall depict a five (5)foot sidewalk on the north side of Five Mile Creek. 4. Waterways (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-6): Goal 4.05.01D and Goal 6.01.04B of the Comprehensive Plan emphasize the importance of improving and protecting creeks and other natural waterways throughout commercial, industrial and residential areas. Develop and implement agreements with irrigation districts and the Union Pacific Railroad to allow for bike/pedestrian pathways. The Five Mile Creek runs along the north boundary of the site and is proposed to be preserved as a natural amenity in accordance with UDC 11-3A-6. The Applicant prioritizes the preservation of the existing creek by incorporating the creek into the site design as a natural amenity. The Applicant is proposing to protect and enhance Five Mile Creek by adding planters with trees and shrubs, on the southside of the creek.Additionally, the multi- use pathway is proposed to run parallel to the Creek. The Applicant should coordinate with Nampa Meridian Irrigation District(NMID) to ensure that the development adheres to best practices for waterway protection. 5. Pressurized Irrigation(UDC 11-3A-15): Underground pressurized irrigation water is required to be provided as set forth in UDC 11- 3A-15. 6. Storm Drainage (UDC 11-3A-18): The Five Mile Creek bisects the north boundary of this site and is proposed to be left open as an amenity for the development in accord with UDC 11-3A-6. The design and construction shall follow Best Management Practice as adopted by the city. 7. Utilities (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-21): Goal 3.01.01 F of the Comprehensive Plan emphasizes the importance of permitting new development only where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time of final approval and development is contiguous to the City. FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION&ORDER FOR(ROLLING HILLS-H-2025-0040) - 18- Connection to City water and sewer services is required in accord with UDC 11-3A-21 and the Comprehensive Plan. CITY/AGENCY COMMENTS & CONDITIONS A. Meridian Planning Division A Development Agreement(DA)is required as a provision of annexation of this property. Prior to approval of the annexation ordinance, a DA shall be entered into between the City of IV. Meridian,the property owner(s) at the time of annexation ordinance adoption,and the developer. A Certificate of Zoning Compliance and Design Review Application will not be accepted until the Ordinance and Development Agreement are recorded. Currently, a fee of$611.47 shall be paid by the Applicant to the Planning Division prior to commencement of the DA.

Based on current enrollment data specific to the area surrounding this proposed development, we estimate a development consisting of D single-family units and i84 multi-family units could house approximately 23 school aged children.Approval of this application w i I I affect enrollments at the following schools in West Ada School District. Enrollment Ca aci Pepper Ridge Elementary 475 575* Lewis and Clark Middle School 073 1000 Centennial High School 1741 7900 *Program Capacity West Ada School District supports economic growth; however, growth fasters the need for additional school capacity. Future developments will continue to have an impact an the district's capacity.Should a school exceed capacity,to meet the need for additional school capacity in this area a n e or more of the fallowing may need to be Implemented: • Transporting students to an alternate school with available classrooms. • Attendance area adjustments if there is availability in a nea rby sch ool.The Long Range Planning Committee will reconvene in September 2026 to consider needed adjustments. • Passage of a bond may be needed in the next 5-8 years to build new schools and fit the enrollment needs. • Portable classrooms placed on the property at the Middle or High School.

Annexation(UDC 11-5B-3E) Upon recommendation from the commission,the council shall make a full investigation and shall, at the public hearing,review the application. In order to grant an annexation and/or rezone,the council shall make the following findings: V. 1. The map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the comprehensive plan; The City Council finds the applicants proposal to annex 8.19 acres of land with the C-C zoning district for the development of 200 vertically integrated residential units, and 19,512 square feet of commercial space is consistent with the Mixed-Use Regional FL UM designation for this property. In addition, the City Council finds that there is adequate infrastructure for the subject development and that the subject area is in transition which will improve the circulation in the future. 2. The map amendment complies with the regulations outlined for the proposed district, specifically the purpose statement; The City Council finds that the proposed map amendment to C-C and the associated conceptual development plan generally comply with the purpose of the C-C zoning district by contributing neighborhood-serving uses and commercial space, along with a mix of housing consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The proposal addresses Comprehensive Plan objectives, incorporates key elements of vehicular and pedestrian connectivity or integration with surrounding properties and future roadways. 3. The map amendment shall not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare; The City Council finds that subject map amendment will not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare. The City Council had substantial discussions about road infrastructure,pedestrian infrastructure, and timing in relation to improvements. The City Council ultimately determined the subject development has adequate access and will start the redevelopment of this area which will improve connectivity for the larger mixed use regional area. 4. The map amendment shall not result in an adverse impact upon the delivery of services by any political subdivision providing public services within the city including,but not limited to, school districts; and The City Council finds that the map amendment will not result in adverse impacts as City services are available to be provided to this development. 5. The annexation(as applicable)is in the best interest of city. v1. The City Council finds the proposed annexation is in the best interest of the city due to the development being consistent with the comprehensive plan, it being one of the first properties to start the redevelopment of the county enclave, and it resolving the issues from the previous application that was denied. ACTION A. Staff: Staff recommends denial of the proposed Annexation as discussed above in Section 111,per the Findings in Section V. FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION&ORDER FOR(ROLLING HILLS-H-2025-0040) -27- B. Commission: The Meridian Planning&Zoning Commission heard these items on March 5t'', 2026. At the public hearing,the Commission moved to recommend denial of the subject annexation request. 1. Summary of Commission public hearing: a. In favor: Chris Todd,Kim Boyack,Rick Boyack, Gary Rainey b. In opposition: Chris Mayoka,Alicia Eastman c. Commenting: David Mleczko,Michael Blowers,Amy Waddles d. Written testimony:None e. Staff presentinggpplication: f. Other Staff commenting on application:None 2. Key issue(s) public testimony_ a. -Kim and Rick Boyack: Both in support of the project and are ready to sell their property and move on from the busy corridor that is no longer rural. They both iterated that they are tired of being put in the middle when trying to sell their land. In addition,They a concerns about the placement of the signal on Overland Road and believe it should have been required by the Movado development. -Chris Mayoka: In opposition to the project due to concerns about traffic,transition to his home to the north,He noted that five of the letters in support of the project are from landowners selling to the applicant. He would like to see a developer purchase the entire area so it can develop as a cohesive plan. -Alicia Eastman: In opposition of the project due to concerns with traffic and the transition to her home on the west side of Rolling Hill Drive. In addition, she discussed traffic on Overland Road and expressed continued concern about safety particularly when trying to turn left at peak hours. -David Mleczko: Commentingoproject as he is in support of certain elements and aizainst others. He also mentioned that the FEMA maps need to be redone in the area because they are inaccurate as it currently.upped. -Michael Blowers: Commentingoproject as he is in support of some elements of the project and against others. He discussed the transition to the existing home is not adequate but also would like to see his property and the whole area redevelop in the future. He is tired of coming back to hearingsKy2years to find a resolution to this area. In addition,he has concerns with traffic and does not understand why the traffic light has to align with Movado and not Rolling Hill. He wants a definitive action to set the bar for the area. -Amy Waddles: Commentingoproject and is in support of some elements and against others. She said the overall project is great but is greatly concerned about an increase in traffic and parking. As it currently exists,Rolling Hill is used for parking for the apartments to the north and a delivery corridor for delivery drivers. She is also tired of the stalemate that the homeowners that are trying to sell are in. Gary Rainey: In support of the project due to concerns that if they are not bought they won't get fair market for their properties. He believes it is a good opportune , for Meridian to have more housing. 3. Key issue(s)of discussion by Commission: a. Traffic/Lack of Collector: The commission was significantly concerned about traffic and the timing of the future collector. Without the collector,this project is pushed entirely onto a single access point with no timeline for better circulation. They acknowledge the traffic on Overland Road and the challenge of turning right or left at peak hours of the day. FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION&ORDER FOR(ROLLING HILLS-H-2025-0040) -28- Design: Some commissioners were not in favor of the design due to a large sea of asphalt in the middle of the project and the elevations do not integrate with the design of the larger Decision: Commission was on the fence on this one but ultimately unanimously voted in denial of the application due to lack of information of traffic impacts on the surrounding area. 4. Commission change(s)to Staff recommendation: a. None 5. Outstandingissue(s)for City Council: a. -Whether the annexation is in the best interest of the city. -Whether the absence of the collector roadway is sufficient considering there is a since access proposed onto a county local street. -Whether the transition to the existing residences is sufficient. -Whether the traffic impacts are sufficient given the current conditions. C. City Council: The Meridian City Council heard these items on May 19',2026. At the public hearingthe Council moved to approve the subject annexation reauest. 1.

Key_ issue(s)of public testimony: -Kim and Rick Bovack: Both in support of the project and are ready to sell their property and move on from the busy corridor that is no longer rural. They both iterated that they are tired of being put in the middle when trying to sell their land. -Kathryn and Ian Mason: In support of the project as she believes it will help revitalize the area. She mentioned she is frustrated with the decline of the neighborhood and would like to see it transition so the residents can sell their property. -Alicia Eastman: She is supportive of the change in the area but has concerns with traffic,access.timing. She is looking to sell her property and move out of the neighborhood. -Michael Blowers: He is in support of the redevelopment of the broader area but has concerns with timing on this development with the rest of the neighborhood. He was not in support of opening the north part of Rolling Hill Drive with Flat Iron as it would cause more traffic and safety concerns. -David Ellis: He mentioned a developer has contacted the property owners north of the subject development and is hopeful this will allow the neighborhood to transition to a more urban development at the same time. Timing of the development was a concern. -Bethany Urwin: In favor of the development as they are looking to move out of the neighborhood. -Angela and Gary Raney: They are looking to sell their property and are ready to move on as the area has changed significantly. They mentioned the neighborhood has FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION&ORDER FOR(ROLLING HILLS-H-2025-0040) -29- declined as people are hesitant to nut money into their properties with development being close. 3. Key issue(s)of discussion by City Council: a. The City Council has substantial discussions about traffic,access, and timing. The City Council was supportive of the broader concept plan but were concerned that adding additional units off a single access could cause issues.Ultimately they determined that the neighborhood is transitioning and this was the first property to start the redevelopment in the area. They acknowledged that traffic may get worse before it gets better but as connectivity improves the area will function better. 4. City Council change(s)to Commission recommendation: a. The City Council approved the development after staff and the planning and zoning commission recommended denial. They had staff write a development agreement for approval which is shown above in section W. EXHIBITS A. Project Area Maps vu. (link to Project Overview) 1.
