Report by Walt Morrow from The Golf Course Committee:
Marrow: I won't take a lot of your time as I know you are really busy this evening.
As you well know, you appointed as a committee to look into the Golf Course.
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
December 16, 2003
Page 2 of 19
The charge from the Council was to make an assessment of the assets that were
at the Golf Course, how they could be improved. The challenge to begin with
was that in the greatest learning curve for us on the committee was that we
anticipated by the USGA report that we would have some sort of standard by
which to compare this Golf Course against what it should be. The reality is that a
USGA report compares a golf course against itself, so there are no standards out
there that are on a regional or a national basis by which you can compare what
we have in the operation of this golf course to. Taking the USGA report and your
challenge, we looked at all the facets of the golf course and of the USGA report.
We broke them down basically into things that were challenged as personal
property and things that were real property and looked at it from the standpoint of
a landlord tenant relationship. What we did as a committee, is we took each one
of those items where there were recommendations by the USGA report and an
example would be the greening of the golf course. Last spring we had
exceptional rains and we had a great opportunity to see that the problem with the
golf course in terms of the sprinkler systems was inadequate coverage because
at one point in time in early spring we had a totally green golf course. That lent
great credence to the analysis that this sprinkler system is insufficient. The first
nine, or what was historically the first nine now is approximately 25 years old, at
its e nd of its u sefull ife for various reasons t he n ew nine in m any areas were
deficient with respect to coverage. Some of that was due to changing
boundaries with respect to subdivision ground that was donated or changed and
then so on and so forth. The committee's feeling is that the first main problem to
address was the greenness of the golf course and consequently, the sprinkler
system. We went down through the menu of issues raised by the USGA report
and then had discussions amongst the committee about the importance of each
issue in terms of trying to look at the overall picture of the golf course and what
our vision, or the Council's vision may very well be in terms of what they want to
see. With each of those items and if you look on Page 22 we have addressed
the items pretty much in the area of importance, that we felt needed to be
addressed. The first thing was the irrigation system. We also then put down
approximately the sums of money that we thought that it would take to fix those
things at plus or minus ten percent factor. If you will look, the irrigation system,
we used 1 to 1.5 million. We assigned that because it is real property and it is a
key component in terms of setting the golf course up to whatever the standard
that the City Council may want to have with the golf course. The assumption was
is that the standard might be that it be green through April through the middle of
October in its entirety. In order to do that then the sprinkler system needs to be
redone. The number that we assign was 1 million to 1.5 million. That was based
on the experiences that some of the members of the committee with respect to
golf course and golf course sprinkler systems. A maintenance building was
talked about in the USGA report. Once again, that is real property. We felt, in
this case, it was a responsibility of the landlord to provide that. In this case, that
would be the City of Meridian. We used a 45-dollar square foot factor for that
which is a reasonably accurate number for a building of that use is 1501000
dollars. New greens on 1, 6, 7 and 9 again those were alluded to in the USGA
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
December 16, 2003
Page 3 of 19
report is 8,000 dollars a piece, real property. The original greens apparently
ended up with more slope than the USGA thought they should have. That was
an arbitrary decision based on the original design probably is more playable for
the better golfer, but for what our golfers are today, probably a little too
challenging. We showed those at 8,000 dollars a piece. Rebuilding bunkers on
the new nines and there was ten of them -- 2,000 dollars a piece -- 20,000
dollars. Then we get down into the things that were truly personal property that
should be the responsibility of the tenant. It would be the responsibility of any
tenant in a property that you or I might lease on a residential basis and those
tended to be maintenance items, cart paths, again that's a real property issue.
We allotted 5 0,000 dollars for that a nd trees, kind of a combination of both -
obviously, carts, clubhouse maintenance and miscellaneous equipment and
equipment rental. That all belongs to the tenant. New restroom there is a need
for a restroom. We did some research into through the City in terms of an
available sewer and water. We were able to find one location that that would
work. We spec that at 75,000 dollars it's a real property issue again. That would
be the responsibility of the City. The committee felt that this was a good
breakdown and a good guideline based on the types of things that would need to
be done to make the golf course come up to whatever standard you as a council
set. The feeling is very strong that if you are going to set a standard there has to
be a means for a tenant to maintain that standard and know what he or she is
working towards. The committee structured this report in that direction so that
the City Council would have the standard by which to judge the performance of
the tenant. The tenant would have the standard by which he or she had to
conform to so going in they knew what was expected of them, with respect to
financing; several ways of financing. The general view point of the committee
was that should the Council wish to pursue these improvements that the Council
would appoint a committee with a council member sharing that committee to
research financing and the options that are available to a councilor community.
With respect to the comparison to other golf courses in the valley. The narrow
tightness of this golf course can't compare itself to something like Ridge Crest or
Broadmore or one of the golf courses that is wide open. It's more comparable to
Indian Lakes or the Plantation, where you have a narrow confined golf course,
which makes it somewhat more difficult to play for the average golfer than a wide
open golf course. That's one of the things - or one of the issues that we work
under and it's a handicap for the general weekend golfer. Part of the challenge
on part of the Council is to resist comparisons of this golf course that come from
golf courses that don't have the same restrictions with respect to playability that
we do. That's not something that we can change or fix. We have to work with
what we have and so the committee's goal was to try to give you the options that
were available to you as a council so that you may make a decision in terms of
what direction that you want to pursue and therefore, by pursuing that come to
the standards that you want and then give the tenant his or her option of being
able to meet those standards. Any questions?
De Weerd: Council, any questions?

Bird: I have none.
De Weerd:' There are no questions.
Marrow: Thank- you.
De Weerd: I think there are a lot of questions, but I don't know if everyone has
had a chance to read the report. Shaun, did you get a report?
Marrow: We have here in the box.
De Weerd: You have one in the box.
Marrow: We have a substantial, greater number of reports that were just
delivered within the last 15-20 minutes, for those who want more reports or
haven't had a report.
De Weerd: Okay.
Marrow: I think the initial report was just the five of you that received reports.
The committee all had two go-a rounds at the first rough draft, the final draft and
then the final report. That was open to comment by each of the committee
members at all three stages. Our final draft was printed without comment by any
members of the committee you have now plenty of reports and we have the
avenue now of being able to generate more reports as they might be needed.
De Weerd: Okay.
Nary: Madam President.
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I guess I have a question that might not be necessarily just for Mr. Marrow,
but what's our timetable here to act. I mean, we have a - - I like the report. I
think it has outlined some of the issues that we sort of knew that were out there
about the condition, the golf course maintenance, what needs to be done.
Obviously, we need to have a lot of discussion about the source of funds and
how that was done, but is there a timetable that we need to act. Obviously,
status quo isn1t going to maintain itself forever.
Marrow: No. That decision is entirely up to you. The challenge of the committee
was to give you as clearly and concisely as possible what we saw the
deficiencies were, the potential ways to resolve those deficiencies and then it's
up to you folks to decide how you want to go about it and what you want to do.
Nary: Okay.

De Weerd: Mr. Strong, do you have any comments?
Bird: I know he hasn't seen it.
De Weerd: Have you seen it?
Strong: I have not.
De Weerd: Okay. Well, it likes this is something that we need to set when the
new council is on and maybe have a Pre-Councilor workshop discussion and
start exploring some of those.
Bird: Madam President.
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I believe that one of our new Council Members coming on was a co-
chairman with Walter on this.
Marrow: That's correct.
Bird: And I did sit on the committee. I was a nonvoting member.
De Weerd: Okay. Well, good. You guys can set up a timeframe and lead the
discussion.
Bird: Okay. We can do it.
Marrow: Anything else?
De Weerd: Thank you.
Marrow: You bet. Thank you.
De Weerd: Okay Item Number 4 is the Solid Waste franchise moratorium by Mr.
Sedlecek. Oh, by Mr. Freeman. Oh good, an attorney we can (inaudible) time
to.
Item 4.
Solid Waste Franchise Moratorium Discussion by Steve
Sedlecek with SSG:
Freeman: I got to do something here. I am going to charge him. Madam
President, Council M embers. I tis m y pleasure to be here this evening. You
should have all received a copy of my letter that I sent on behalf of my client,
Sanitary Service requesting that the City issue a moratorium on the issuance of
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
December 16, 2003
Page 6 of 19
new solid waste franchises until a fier June 1, 2 004. I believe my letter pretty
much summarizes our position. I am available to answer any questions.
De Weerd: I guess, Mr. Nichols, where are we at in the part that we are going to
do in regards to the ordinances?
Nichols: Madame President, Members of Council, we prepared a draft revision
to the solid waste franchise ordinance in terms of standards that franchises
would have to make or to meet in order to have a franchise because your current
ordinance is not a sole source franchise. It is not an exclusive franchise
ordinance. Your agreement with Sanitary Services exclusive, but the ordinance
itself was not. Looking at the City's obligation to protect the health, safety, and
welfare of the community and some of the past problems that were experienced
with previous contractors, not with SSC, we might add, but with previous
contractors, we developed an ordinance with some standards in it. Then
forwarded that to Mr. Freeman and his client for their review and comment. I
believe that they feel like it is a good start, but, that there are lots of other areas
that need to be addressed and the time that it would take to address them was
more lengthy than anticipated. So, we have done, I think, a good start but we
don1t have a finished product that the contractors are comfortable with.
Freeman: Madam President, Members of Council if I may just follow up on what
Bill said. We have reviewed the proposed draft that Bill has been working on.
One of the difficulties is that even - - I apologize for my voice, I have got a bit of a
cold or something like everybody else does. One of the problems is that even
though the City's ordinance appears to be nonexclusive or - not provide for an
exclusive solid waste franchise. Like Bill said, the contract specifically addresses
that issue. There are also regulations and other ordinances that reference - - I
guess that make it clear that the intention of the parties back when the franchises
was awarded, Sanitary Service said it would indeed be an exclusive franchise.
For instance, there -- the person, who is the City's solid waste hauler sits on the
Board of Regulation to set the rates, doesn't say - - so, if you bring another
person in that would presume two or three. If you read the statutes and
ordinances as a whole, it is pretty clear that everybody was dealing with the
understanding that this was an exclusive franchise. Then this Plummer vs. City
of Fruitland case comes up and the Supreme Court decides in that case that they
hold that solid waste that a city does not have the power to grant an exclusive
solid waste franchise. That sort of sets the whole thing into the problem we have
now. In addition, I really see there are three reasons why the City should
consider passing this ordinance, or this resolution for a moratorium as soon as
possible. First is that we are not done. As Bill said, we still have more to do on
revisions to the ordinance. It's not just the solid waste ordinance, but there are
revisions to other regulations and other ordinances as well as to the contract with
Sanitary Service that has to be completed and they are just not done yet.
Excuse me. The next issue is this Plummer vs. City of Fruitland case has - - the
Supreme Court has decided to rehear that case and no one can predict whether
(
(
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
December 16, 2003
Page 7 of 19
the Court will reverse that portion of the decision or issue a different decision, but
that is what they are being asked to do. I am not involved in that case at all. Bill
probably knows more about where that sits than I do, but the Supreme Court has
decided to rehear that case. The rehearing occurred November 3rd of this year.
We talked to the Clerk's Office at the Supreme Court and they say it takes
approximately six months normally - six months average for the Court to issue a
decision. The way I look at it, if the Court reverses the Plummer decision and
says that a City does have the power to issue an exclusive solid waste franchise
then all the changes that we make to these ordinances are going to create
. problems for my client and for the City. In other words, we have to change this
relationship between Sanitary Service and the City through these ordinances and
through amendments of the franchise agreement and if the only reason we are
doing that is because of the Plummer decision, so if it gets reversed we've got a
problem. We have got to go back then and put those ordinances the way they
were. Another issue is that it's my understanding that there will be or has started
and Steve knows a bit more about this than I do from an industry standpoint that
the legislature is being corded and being lobbied to address this issue this year
and the next legislative session. We are not coming in and asking for a
moratorium on new solid waste franchises because there might be a law passed,
but you know combined with these other factors, I think it's a sufficient basis and
it's something that the Council should look at. One thing that I will say is that the
manner -- the ordinance -- the resolution that was passed previously, some
people might say that you are just doing another ordinance or another
moratorium. That's correct, but understand that the prior one expired on
September 1 st. So right now there isn't a moratorium. We are not just putting
moratorium after moratorium. There is no statute that I could find that would
prohibit the City from issuing a moratorium in this respect. I just think it gives
everybody a little m ore breathing room. When you talked to Steve he is real
encouraged made a mistake and they are going to recognize it and change that
statute. If not, then the legislature is going fix it. In any event, the way the
moratorium that we are requesting would be similar to the one that you placed in
effect back, I believe, in April or May it provided and agreed person with the right
to petition the City for a hearing in 30 days if they felt they were agreed and then
this matter come before Council. I think that provides sufficient protection to
anybody that may come in and ask for a new franchise. There hasn't been any,
as I understand, there hasn't been any yet that have come in. We just think that
it's prudent at this time for all those reasons for the City to pass that ordinance
and again, we never know when a new - - no one knows I guess other than the
person submitting it if and when another solid waste franchise request will be
made to the City of Meridian. Since this Council passed the prior one and is in
place for at least one more meeting or however more you are going to have we
would prefer that if we had -- if it was a perfect world we'd like this Council to
make that decision and pass another moratorium as soon as possible.
De Weerd: Okay. Any questions, Council?
(
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
December 16, 2003
Page 8 of 19
Bird: I have none.
Nary: Madam President. Mr. Freeman, I think the only perfect world must be
what Mr. Sedlecek is thinking that everybody is going to fix it (inaudible) to the
legislature, but what -- I guess I don't really see the necessity of reissuing this
particular type of moratorium. I mean, I think it was sort of sketchy, a little
sketchy anyway. Even if another franchisee were to come along we would have
to hear it, we'd have to award it, you'd be here saying we have a contract that
makes it exclusive, so Council don't grant it, you know let them go make their
legal (inaudible) some other way, if you don't. I guess, I don't see what harm it
would do your client if we simply just don't do anything.
Freeman: Madam President, Councilman Nary. It's not necessarily harm to m
client that I am concerned about or that we are concerned about. If a new solid
waste franchisee or prospective franchisee comes to the City and files - makes a
request then you have to evaluate that based upon your current ordinance. Your
current ordinance is a problem if that kind of request comes in because it didn't
contemplate the matters set forth in the former decision. I believe, you'll be in a
situation where you will have to evaluate the next franchisee before you
completed the process of having an ordinance in place that's really supposed to
set forth what the requirements and conditions are. I think it makes it difficult for
the City to make the proper decision and they may have to grant a franchise that
isn't appropriate because they don't have the ordinance in place.
Nary: Madam President.
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I don't know whether or not Mr. Nichols or -- I guess, see what you think
as well, Mr. Freeman, but, I mean, the court's haven't always been very --
because of other cities and other types of moratoriums, not this particular type,
but have been very apprehensive about this continuation of moratoriums. I
guess, that's what concerns me a little bit. Secondarily, I mean, if we are going
base it upon the fact that we are drafting an ordinance and we are in the process,
you know, is that going to be a problem that the processing seems to be taking
quite a long time just to draft an ordinance regarding standards and that a court
is not going to be very forgiving of that and maybe not going to really support us
on that. I guess, ultimately, Mr. Nichols is going to have to answer that for us,
but I wonder what you think and Mr. Nichols can tell us what he thinks.
Freeman: Councilman Nary, as far as the question about the success of
moratoriums I have spoken to Bill about that and have done a little research and
as you are aware of there is one provision in the Idaho Statutes that addressed
the City's right to issue moratorium, however it's contained in the Land Use
Planning Act and it's limited to, I think, moratorium's on permits or similar
moratoriums. There is case law from other states, other jurisdictions where cities
/
\
Meridian City Pre-Council Mee"tlllY
December 16, 2003
Page 9 of 19
have tried to issue moratorium after moratorium and that's been denied. In this
situation, I think it's -- we have a different situation here because Number 1 J the
prior moratorium has expired and so we are not just tagging them on. There has
been at least a three and one half month period where there has been no
moratorium in place and I don't think we will ever need to request another one.
While this time frame is going on, we are not going to sit back and do nothing
until the anticipated June 1st date. We will continue to work on other revisions,
but it's more difficult. I think probably, I can't speak for city attorneys, but I would
bet that most councils and most cities, most municipalities if not all in the State of
Idaho assume before this case that they had the right to grant exclusive
franchise. That assumption you can see when you read through -- it was evident
in Meridian when you read through the ordinances and the contract that was
awarded. I just think that we need some more time to address it and resolve it.
Bird: Madam President.
De 'Weerd: Mr. Bird
Bird: I would agree with Mark on the thing that I don't think we are adding on to
or doing a moratorium because the other one resolution that we passed last
spring has now ran out and has been a couple of months. I see no reason that
we can't and I would be willing to make a motion right now to put on a
moratorium on solid waste collection until June 1 st. In the same time, instruct the
attorneys and contractor that we have a contract with to get this ordinance before
the Council in April or an appropriate time, so that we don't have to have these
moratoriums all the time. I am like Mr. Nary, I don't like to see moratoriums
coming in all the time, but I have no problem with doing that and if we need to we
can certainly do it right now. I think we should because I think Plummer Fruitland
has some people thinking and we are a big enough city that it won't be a private
individual coming in with a pick up.
Nichols: Madam President.
De Weerd: Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Madam President, Members of Council a couple of additional points.
When the moratorium was first in act and the resolution was adopted Fruitland
had not petitioned for reconsideration. We didn't know if it was - and then even
after they did petition for it didn't know if it would be granted. I think it was in
August that that petition for reconsideration was granted. That was a subsequent
event and that may have taken some of the heat out from under the pot so to
speak when that reconsideration was granted. With regard to the moratorium, I
think that if you are going to put in standards for franchisees, moratorium protects
the City from this standpoint -along this (inaudible) is that the application
determines the law that applies to the application and so if somebody walks in
here tomorrow and says I want to have a solid waste franchise a nd we don't
/

have standards then how are we going to evaluate that? If we have a
moratorium in place that they have to ask for a hearing to be heard, it gives you
the ability to say okay, yes, we can adopt some standards before they can apply,
so that we don't have a situation where somebody applies and no there are no
standards by which their application would be judged. So that's an advantage
and I -- if it's your choice to do so, you could approve a resolution that's worded
the same as the previous one, except a new date of June 1, 2004. That would
allow that right of due process for someone to challenge the application to them.
De Weerd: Mr. Bird, do you have a motion?
Bird: I would make a motion that we have a franchise moratorium for Solid
Waste Collections and have the attorney word it the same as the previous one
that expired in September and have this one expire June 1, 2004.
Nary: Seconded.
De Weerd: Okay, it's been moved and seconded to instruct the attorney to draw
up the resolution extending -- or not extending - to place a moratorium for the
solid waste franchise ordinance and bring that back -- when?
Bird: January 6th.
Nary: January 6th.
Bird: It expires June 1 , 2004.
De Weerd: To expire June 1,2004. Okay. Do we want a roll call?
Roll call: Bird, aye; Nary, aye; McCandless, aye; De Weerd, aye.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Item 5.
Discussion with ZGA on space study: Presented
De Weerd: Now Shaun you did get a copy of that, correct? Okay. So, we all
have had an opportunity to read the draft and I assume everyone has questions
in hand and we are ready for your comments.
Simmonds: Thank you, Madam President and members of the Council. Rather
than go through the entire report here, whether everybody did have a chance to
look through it or not there has been an awful lot done in a short period of time
here and I know the Council is busy, but if you have had a chance to look at any
of it we would be happy to entertain questions or (inaudible). I think that in going
through this there are kind of three parts to it. There is an update of the previous
program/document that was generated for the City Hall. There is a listing of
/

(
program spaces and then there is also a kind of an attempt to illustrate some
different options or directions for development of the City Municipal Center. So,
anyway, given that if you would like to speak about anyone of these things put
together in the report we would be happy to do so or we will just try and answer
the questions that you have and more specifically, anything that is not addressed
in this report that the Council would like to see addressed we would like to hear
that too.
De Weerd: Now, Mike, there are certain assumptions made and certain
questions that still you need further direction on and I guess those would be the
questions that we now have an opportunity to discuss. Do you want to bring up
those areas that you would like to get feedback on?
Simmonds: Madam President, members of the Council, yes. A couple of things.
There are, of course, a number of departments and tallies in here for those
various departments and that information was gleaned through discussions with
the various directors of those departments and other city personnel. I think that
in trying to quantify exactly what those need to be that's one thing we would look
for to the city as a whole in giving us some direction as to whether that meets the
expectation in Council's opinion of an ultimate population for city government in
the year 2025 or whether it may be deficient in that respect. Then I think beyond
the pages in here to describe the various departments there was a section, I
believe it was in the back of Section 4 where we simply tried to list some different
approaches to a city hall project in terms of volume and land area. There are
four examples here that are very generic, as yet. It was our understanding there
has not been a specific site that has been selected yet, so in an attempt to try
and provide some basis for possibly selecting direction we went through that and
hypothetically tried to establish four different approaches. We will also have the
counterpart listed under the cost assumptions as well. I guess the other part of
our question wauld be if there is anything t here that is too vague 0 r not clear
enough, if there is additional information that the Council would be seeking
relative to those scenarios, or whether that is even something that you want to
see in this report. We went a little bit farther than just the program statement
because it seemed like part of the question hadn't been answered if we didn't go
a little bit farther and at least quantify, if you do need to site at 2.5 acres. What
does that represent as terms of the city block? What does that represent in
terms of a three-story building or two-story building and what does that represent
in terms of costs? So, I guess that would be the other part of this thing that we
would look for is some direction or some additional comments.
De' Weerd: I don't know if that particular part was included in the packet that we
gave t hem. We gave them where the (inaudible) a nd t he executive summary
that you did identified specific departments that would traditionally and logically
be part of the new city hall. Then you also raised some questions on some of
those functions that we are not sure if they should be in city hall, administratively
or what. Those are items that we do need further discussion on. Then there
(

were some other non-city related functions that were brought up throughout their
interview process that they would like to get some feedback on. Certainly, we
need more feedback on that so we know how much square footage we are
looking at building for. Correct?
Bird: Madam President.
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I agree with you whole heartedly and I think we need to go to the point of
Mike needs to tell us how many acres, square footage or whatever we need if we
go three stories, four stories, our total of square footage with parking and
everything for what we are going to need. Because that is going to determine
where we locate downtown. I am in agreement with you on that. I think that
there is some follow up stuff that we all need to do. I haven't had a chance to
read that as thorough as I need to. I think you need to come up with how much
and you know, how much square foot do we need, how big of a piece of property
do we need. Will a city block do it. If we go three stories, four stories, two
stories, whatever. That's the answer we need, I think, along with the space.
De Weerd: Well, Keith, I think that we need to get them some direction so they
can start narrowing what the actual space needs will be. Even as far as down
the road. Will we need room for legal? Do we want fire administration there?
Would we want administrative offices or sewer ~nd water? You know, a police?
Most likely not. Do we want a building that would be easily added on to? Do we
want it all shell and (inaudible). Maybe one floor undeveloped. You know, those
are the kind of things they are looking for so they can give us a more
comprehensive report.
Bird: I agree with you 100 percent. I think that's a very legitimate question that
we need to get back with.
Simmonds: Madam President, Members of the Council.
De Weerd: Mike.
Simmonds: We can identify some of those departments for you for discussion
and probably the round number that we are looking at relative to whatever
adjustments are made in the program is about 40,000 square feet. At this point,
that does not include departments that were Ada County Departments, like Motor
Vehicles and those spaces that we had originally included in the program
document the first time around. At this point, there was, I think, some uncertainty
as to whether the county would be involved in that or not. Certainly easy to
incorporate, but that 40,000 square foot figure that we show in here is a build out
for 2 5 includes all t he departments that have been listed h ere. We did make
some assumptions and there have been some discussions with some of the
/

(
various departments. Water Department, for example, one of the questions we
had was would there be any value in having administrative personnel in city hall
only. I guess that would apply to the Fire Department, to the Wastewater
Treatment 0 epartment a nd the P arks a nd Recreation Department. There has
been some discussion about having the directors and their assistants and some
of their administrative staff possibly located in the city hall. There has been some
other feedback relative to how they interact with their staff and whether it's better
for them to be onsite with their staff or whether it's better to be a part of the city
administration. So, I think those departments we are looking for some feedback.
Then relative to the - - one of the departments we are still trying to get a little bit
of a handle on is the technology department and focusing on what their needs
would be over the future. You will see in the space analysis that they could
consume an awful lot of space. Some of that we will have to do probably with the
services of the city. We will outsource different cities and municipalities and
outsource various kinds of I T services and then they would manage those in-
house. Some organizations do it all in-house, so I think that's - for us thafs a big
question mark at this point as to how much of the IT services will be retained by
the City and how much of that ultimate personnel growth is something we need
to plan for. I think the last department that we had questions about had to do
with the legal department. In the first go around we included space in the study
for the legal department to be housed in the city hall. Understanding now the
relationship that the City has with Boise and with the outsourcing of some of
those legal services, we were uncertain as tow hether there would be a need
over a long period of time to have the entire legal department housed within the
city hall. Some of those as we understand it, some of the criminal legal work
would likely be housed in the Police Department as one option. As for the civil
side of that we are not sure how that mayor may not grow. So I think that is a
little bit of a question mark in terms of how we plan for that. Of course, the other
thing to keep into mind too is that 40,000 square feet is not something that we
need today so there is some time as those departments change over the course
of their growth, there is some time to figure out maybe how these things could
change or evolve if we don't have the answers for those right now.
De Weerd: And these all playa factor into the steps that we need to take to
move forward with this project. So, we do need to start getting more detailed on
that and I hoped that you would come prepared tonight to do that. So, I would
like to know also from you all when we want to meet and give those details so we
can start moving towards a plan on this. Mr. Bird.
Bird: I for one believe that to be an efficient city that anybody that collects -- it's
like Parks and Recreation, sure it would be nice to keep it down there where they
are at, but their administration needs to be there. They are collecting fees from
people all the time and the people come into one place, one source and pay. I
believe that you look at any city that has all their administrative roles other than
police and fire under the same roof they are more efficient. Not that we aren't
efficient, but we run around the whole town to get to the different places. I mean,
(

if we want to go to Planning & Zoning we run down there. If we want to put a
team in a baseball league we run over on Bower Street. If we want to pay our
water bill we run to Idaho Street. We need one place to do all that and I think
that's what you have figured in. This is what we had said in 1997 when you did
the original one. Surprisingly, we come out with about the same square footage.
Simmonds: Pretty close.
De Weerd: So, what are our next steps on this? Do you want a chance to look
at it in greater detail, get those comments back so we can get them to ZGA?
Shaun do you have any comments at this point?
Wardle: I do not at this time, but certainly do look forward to the opportunity to
either summarize with the Council in written form. Would that help potentially if
we could have a discussion and get it to you in written form or would you like
another meeting? . I guess that's my question.
De Weerd: Well, it would be nice if we could get our comments, our initial
comments to ZGA in written form via email or however, so they can compile it
into a final report. I don't know if - staff have you had an opportunity to see this
draft?
Powell: Madame President, I have not. I was just going to ask the Public Works
Director. No he hasn't.
De Weerd: Okay, I did ask Will to give that to the Council, so we could have
some of the initial discussions on administrative offices and that sort of thing and
consolidating. To me some of the questions that they have brought up in their
executive summary, but we will get those off to you as well. These other issues,
Council, I guess if you could get your comments back to ZGA so that they can
start working on a final draft. Is that the point we are at?
Nary: Madame President.
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I think it probably isn't the p oint that we are at. I do think that we do
probably - it would be helpful if - it seems like that we would be sort of arguing
against our self without getting some department input, as to their comments as
well. I think that after we have all had the opportunity to provide the comments to
ZGA, then I think we need to have a work discussion to have that discussion so
that we can get a much more definitive plan of where we are going. Because I
think we all will have comments that are going to be different. ZGA is going to
tell us that four of you want it this way and two of you want it that way and a
couple of other people want it totally different than that. So, at some point
somebody - the group has to make a decision to say this is what we are going to
(

(
do. This is where we are going. This is the how big of space we need before we
start looking at design and everything else. I think that's probably, hopefully
something we can do -
De Weerd: -- next month.
Nary: -- yes, sometime in January. I think that if we can get these comments in
then we can have a more meaningful discussion.
De Weerd: Well and I would hope that, you know, I talked to Kenny about the
administrative side on fire and so I know his feelings on that and I would hope
that the liaisons would get with their departments and get a better feel for the
direction that they are coming from so as we give comments back to ZGA we can
speak not just from a personal perspective, but also an educated perspective in
finding out what the departments are saying. But, I would like to do this in more
of a workshop form and not necessarily a pre-council so we can all have an
opportunity to really communicate the department responses and what our initial
reactions are as well.
Nary: Madam President.
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: When would there be a department head meeting in January? They are
weekly, is that correct or every two weeks? Second and fourth. So we would
want to have this at least after the department head meeting in January, so that
they have an opportunity to - obviously, I don't think we want to have 15 people
trying to have comment - and I think we will have a very lengthy meeting if we do
it that way. It would be helpful that at the department head meeting they could
formulate a generalized position. There may be some individual-ness to it, but a
generalized position with the department heads on their comments so we could
have that as part of the discussion after that, sometime after the second or third
week in January. Is that practical? Or would we be better off after the second
department head meeting?
De Weerd: I would - personally, I would like to start moving on this. I think we
are getting to a point where we can talk it to death and you know I would like you
all to get with your departments and get their feedback on that level so we can
get our comments to ZGA and then that gives an opportunity for the department
heads to talk at the first meeting in January and maybe the third week we can set
a special workshop prior to - well, let's see the third week we have with Ada
County in our pre-council
Nichols: Madam President.
De Weerd: Mr. Nichols.
~
Meridian City Pre-Council Meetif1!::)

Page 16 of 19
Nichols: Madam President, Members of the Council, you don't have to have land
use hearings on that night if we don't already have something set for that evening
and so you could simply clear the decks for this particular discussion in workshop
format unless there is already something that's been scheduled for that particular
meeting.
De Weerd: Thank you. I know Will has said our January is starting to fill up very
nicely, but Mr. Berg, do we have anything?
Berg: January 20th.
De Weerd: That January 20th.
Bird: No, it wouldn't be the twentieth. It would be the sixth - yes, it would be the
20th, would .be the third one.
De Weerd: If you could look that up we can maybe set a date towards the end of
this meeting and we will let you know Mike. But, if you could get your comments
to ZGA by the end of next week, by Christmas, is that -
Wardle: Madam President.
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: I was just going to ask if as far as the meeting time if we could set a
time where potentially the new Council might have an opportunity to meet with
the department heads that they will be liaisons to and have this very discussion
as a precursor to any future activities within the department that might give the
department heads an opportunity to have seen the report and new Council an
opportunity to review that and then review it with the liaison and then bring it back
at some time.
De Weerd: Okay. January 20th, would that give you enough time?
Wardle: That's the question I am asking. Certainly I think I could get up to speed
that fast.
De Weerd: We would hope so. Thank you. Will if you can check on the
schedule for January 20th and even if we need to do a little bit of business that
would already be there we could have that afterwards.
Berg: Sure. Madam President I have the draft agenda for the twentieth right
here and we do have continued public hearings, Kessler is one, if you remember
and a couple other plats and annexations. So, it's just like a regular meeting and
we just have it that far set in advance.
(
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting

Page 17 of 19
Nary: Maybe January 27th might be better.
Berg: The 20th is also the Pre-Council for the Ada County Commissioners.
De Weerd: Well, it would be good to have that conversation with the
Commission as well if they have any known needs, space needs as well.
Berg: Okay. I would to suggest just setting up maybe a separate meeting so you
can just discuss one item and not be focused with other things of an agenda that
. you have to deal with. I also have a question for Mike if this document is
electronic in nature that I could get it to department heads so that we - they
could look at the whole document and their particular section and all the other
concerns. (Inaudible)
Simmonds: Just confirming so I don't put my foot in my mouth. Yes, so we could
send that to you and if that would help it would probably be easier to send that to
various departments.
De Weerd: We could burn it for all the Council Members too.
Simmonds: Sure.
Berg: Because I know that Council just got a small little portion and said to refer
to that document in their office, but I know this was a busy time of the year to get
into their office to read through that.
De Weerd: Okay.
Simmonds: Madam President, Members of Council in between now and then if
there is a need for us to meet with anybody to help the process along or provide
additional information or you know expand on what is being provided in the
report, we would be happy to do that.
De Weerd: Well, if the existing Council - we'll ask if that they have comments to
you by Christmas next week and perhaps it might be advantageous to get
together with the two new council members and just bring them up to speed with
what you have found and give a summary of this document. Would that be
helpful Shaun? Okay and then they can get in touch with the various
departments and be prepared for when we do set this workshop. I'll ask the clerk
to find a date during that third week that would be mutual on all the Council
members and yourselves that we can get together and have this in a workshop
form.
Simmonds: That would be great. We look forward to that.
Meridian City Pre-Council Mee ng

De Weerd: 0 kayo I s Christmas - comments back by Christmas reasonable?
Okay.
Powell: Madam President, I have just a follow up question - not having seen the
report I don't know if it's appropriate or not to send it to MDC for comment.
De Weerd: No. No, I don't think so.
Powell: Okay.
De Weerd: Is there anything else that you would like from us this evening?
Simmonds: I don't think so. I think that if we can move through those final
questions, I think most of the program information is going to remain as it is, but
some of these other things - these (inaudible) issues are - if we could get some
help on those we could bring this to closure pretty quickly.
De Weerd: Okay and the sooner you can get that on disc to the clerk he can get
it to council so at least they can have all of this information to make their
comments on, okay?
Simmonds: I would be happy to.
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: If you could tell me again what the particular ones you were saying you
needed the most comment on. The city attorney, the IT Department -
Simmonds: Yes.
Nary: And the other departments that would be combined in the city hall. Was
that the other one you were -
Simmonds: The Water Departments, Wastewater Treatment, which we think we
know the answer to that but we want to make sure. The Fire Department and
Parks and Recreation Department. I think the question was where the
administrative and directors for those departments reside.
De Weerd: Who would we want to see daily and who we wouldnlt. Also, you
had some questions on the non city uses that is also in that report as well as, I
think there is some space questions with the Historical Society and storage of
documents and that sort of thing as well.
Simmonds: Yes, Madame President. That is correct. The Historical Department
or Society was a question. We had a chance to meet with them and kind of find
out what they do and how they do it and what their needs would be. Our
(
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting

understanding is they are not a city department at this point. That was a
question as where they should be. As for some of these other uses like a retail
use or like public meeting uses and those kinds of things, we haven't yet
addressed those specifically in here because some of that will have to do with
which direction is selected in terms of overall square footage, site and budget.
So I think that whatever space is leftover, how those spaces work with the final
program has yet to be determined, but I think that is something we can do pretty
quickly once we have these other things answered.
De Weerd: Okay, great.
Simmonds: Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Well, that's the last item on our Pre-Council
meeting. I would entertain a motion to adjourn.
Bird: So moved.
Nary: Second.
De Weerd: Okay, it's been moved and seconded to adjourn the Pre-Council
meeting. All those in favor say aye.
ALL AYES. MOTION CARRIED.
De Weerd: It's 6:55 p.m. We will reconvene in five minutes.

1. Introduction
In September, 2002, Meridian's golf course operator and tenant, Cherry Lane Recreation, Inc., met with
Mayor Robert Corrie to discuss the continuing needs of the municipality's Cherry Lane Golf Course.
Although construction on the City's Golf Course began in the 19705, and continued in the '80s and 190s, a
baseline report on exactly what infrastructure makes up the City's Golf Course had never been done.
With portions of that infrastructure nearing 30 years in age-in some instances, past its useful life-it
became imperative that the City understand what infrastructure physically exists and the condition of that
infrastructure in order to plan for replacement and modifications at the Golf Course.
As described further below. the Mayor and City Council, recognizing the City's valuable asset in Cherry
Lane, authorized a baseline study conducted by the United States Golf Association. After receiving the
results of that study, Mayor Corrie called a special City Council workshop. Members of the Meridian
community were invited that have, over the years, been associated in one way or another with the Golf
Course. The purpose of the Council's special workshop was to briefly review the baseline study, receive
comments from those familiar with the history of the Golf Course development, and to establish a Special
Committee whose purpose would be to identify: 1) the existing needs of the City's Golf Course; 2)
estimate the replacement or repair costs; and 3) propose possible funding strategies the City can explore
to meet those needs.
This report of that Special Committee attempts to familiarize the community with the history of Cherry
Lane Golf Course, report on the findings of the USGA baseline study, report on the findings of the Special
Committee, and make recommendations on further efforts by the City and its Golf Course operator to
ensure that Cherry Lane Golf Course becomes the asset Meridian envisioned in the 19705 and desires
today.
2. Brief History of Cherry Lane Golf Course
Cherry Lane Golf Course has been an ongoing project of Meridian since the late 19708. The volunteer
spirit of those Meridian citizens that joined together with developers to construct Meridian's largest
recreational asset represents all the best of Meridian's community spirit. As a comparable example}
Meridian Speedway is a recreational facility that was developed decades ago through volunteer efforts that
brought both recreation and recreation dollars to a then much smaller Meridian. Back in the 19708, the
Western Ada Recreation District was formed. The District, too, was manned by many volunteers who were
instrumental in completing the Meridian swimming pool and who worked to upgrade Meridian's fledgling
parks. Cherry Lane Golf Course recently hosted a tournament for the many Friends of Meridian Parks
sponsored by a continuing volunteer committee for the improvement of Meridian parks. Over the years
some of the money raised has gone to help the local boys and girls club, the local baseball fields, soccer
fields, and the skateboard park. This year, funds were provided to Adventure Playground, which serves
the physically handicapped and youth baseball.
Likewise, Cherry Lane Golf Course was an early endeavor by the City, service clubs, the Chamber of
Commerce, and residents to provide recreation and recreation programs to attract additional recreation
dollars into the City. Cherry Lane was conceived at a time when municipal resources were small and
volunteer efforts were large. Directors of Cherry Lane Recreation and employees at the Golf Course
continue to serve on volunteer parks committees as well as serve the Course. Cherry Lane Golf Course
and its people are a testament to the "can-do" volunteer spirit of Meridian.
The City's ambition and volunteer efforts did not see easy gains. A combination of hard economic times
and unfulfilled promises made the Golf Course development very slow going. This chronology of the Golf
Course development history is compiled from the City's files and is found in Tab 1. What is apparent from
the chronology of the Golf Course history, is that Golf Course property changed hands several times
resulting in little continuity in development.
PAGE - 1
_c
(
The continuity found with the City Councils and volunteers, however, continued unabated. When the City
Council met for its special workshop in January, 2003, several former City Council Members and former
golf course committee volunteers elaborated on the history of those times. This testimony is found as well
in Tab 1.
Concisely, in 1978, Meridian entered into an agreement with the developer of the proposed HCherry Lane
Village" for the construction of the first nine holes of the Golf Course. The installation was to be at no cost
to the City, with the transfer of these nine holes to Meridian after written acknowledgment from the
developer's engineering consultant that construction specifications were met. Any defects in construction
were to be corrected by the developer prior to transfer to Meridian. No written engineering
acknowledgment has ever been found. As stated at the City's special workshop in January, 20031 it is
common knowledge that the first nine holes of Cherry Lane Golf Course were not properly constructed.
Under this same agreement with the original developer, an additional nine holes was to be designed and
installed, again, at no cost to the City, and then transferred to the City following appropriate development.
Unfortunately, the property that was to be the second nine holes of the Golf Course reverted to the original
owners, and the property was then sold to other developers. Those developers assisted (along with the
continuing volunteer efforts and infusion of cash by the City and the Golf Course operator) with the
installation of the Golf Course's second nine holes. During 2000, Cherry Lane Recreation completed
construction of a new clubhouse at a cost of approximately $800,000.
Once the first nine and the second nine holes were transferred to Meridian, management and
maintenance responsibilities also transferred to Meridian. Unfortunately for Meridian, neither the original
nine holes nor the second nine holes met any recognized standards. Under the original agreements,
Meridian has the ability to contract with a third party to manage the Golf Course and the City remains
solely responsible. Management and maintenance by the City are to be Hat a standard of quality
consistent with similar public municipal golf courses throughout the country." To begin to develop our
communitys standards, the City committed to an inspection of the Golf Course in cooperation with the
USGA.
3. Growth and Planning in Meridian
The development of Cherry Lane Golf Course is best viewed in the context of Meridian's growth. In 1978,
when Cherry Lane Golf Course was a gleam in the City's eye, Meridian's population was less than 5,000
individuals. In 1978, the City published its first Comprehensive Plan. In the 25 years since, Meridian has
seen its population increase to approximately 40,000 individuals (with an expanded City boundary, the City
has estimated a possible population of 92,500 people by 2010), two new Comprehensive Plans have
been adopted, and much of the infrastructure at Cherry Lane Golf Course has reached the end of its
useful life.
Meridian's July, 2002 Comprehensive Plan recreation goals are to provide a broad range of parks,
recreational programs and recreational facilities in Meridian.1 Actions cited in the Comprehensive Plan to
accomplish this include:
Assess the existing park and recreation facilities based on current regulatory, safety, and quality
standards.
Update and maintain existing parks and facilities to meet all regulatory, safety, and quality
standards.
Support funding of Comprehensive Parks & Recreation System (UCPRSPJI) projects and
programs.
Support joint use agreements with the Meridian Joint School District, Western Ada Recreation
District, ACHD, and other private and non-profit entities.
PAGE-2
t ;, I .1.;_
To formulate the City's recreation goal during the most recent Comprehensive Plan process, Meridian
asked its citizens to identify the community's recreation needs. With this information Meridian prioritized
actions to implement these needs. Meridian then categorized these actions as "immediate" (0 to 1 years);
"intermediatell (1 to 3 years); and "long-term" (3 to 5+ years). These actions include:
Support funding of the CPRSP projects and programs. (Intermediate)
Assess the existing park and recreation facilities based on current regulatory, safetYI and quality
standards. (Ongoing)
Identify recreation needs of the citizens of Meridian. (Ongoing)
Review the CPRSP annually to evaluate and set goals. (Ongoing)
Support acquisition and development of new park land to meet the growing open space needs of
the community. (Ongoing)
Support joint use agreements with Meridian Joint School District, Western Ada Recreation District,
ACHO, and other private and non-profit entities. (Ongoing)
Although assessment of existing City facilities is listed as an "ongoing" activity, assessment of the Cherry
Lane Golf Course has not occurred on a regular basis over the last 25 years.
Both the Comprehensive Plan of Meridian and the Comprehensive Parks & Recreation Systems Plan
provide the basis for Meridian to manage its existing recreation facilities and programs, and to develop
future recreation facilities and programs. The Comprehensive Plan contains an inventory of existing park
facilities and a six-year capital improvement plan to address needed improvements and programs at those
facilities. The CPRSP Action Plan was developed by the City to: 1) provide specific recommendations on
recreational facilities; and 2) pr~sent a funding and implementation strategy.
Yet the Comprehensive Plan and the CPRSP fail to mention, even once, the largest recreational asset of
Meridian: Cherry Lane Golf Course. The Golf Course was not addressed by the Parks Commission which
was both focused on other park needs of the City and did not realize the depth of the Golf Course needs.
Now that the needs are better understood, the Comprehensive Plan and the CPRSP must be amended to
rectify this omission. With these additions, Meridian's main planning documents, the City, its citizens, and
Cherry Lane Golf Course are given an advantage when attempting to raise funds and make improvements
at the Golf Course. This oversight in omitting the Golf Course from the planning documents should no
longer be acceptable to the City given the known infrastructure needs of the municipality's Golf Course.
The fact that there are major infrastructure deficiencies at Cherry Lane Golf Course is so clear that the
City authorized the Course evaluation by the USGA, the Mayor and Council held a special workshop
(January, 2003). and the City established a Special Golf Course Committee to specifically identify the golf
course deficiencies and to propose recommendations for the City to remedy those deficiencies.
4. USGA Evaluation
Following the September 2002 meeting between Cherry Lane Recreation and Mayor Corrie, the Mayor
and Cherry Lane brought a request before the City Council (September 17,2002) asking that Matt Nelson
of the United States Golf Association ("USGA") provide the City with a baseline evaluation of the
infrastructure at Cherry Lane Golf Course.
The Idaho Golf Association had provided Cherry Lane Recreation with a strong recommendation that
Meridian contact the USGA's Turf Advisory Service, which has served several other courses in Southern
Idaho and Eastern Oregon including: Banbury; Scotch Pines; and Spurwing.
Not only would the USGA Turf Advisory Service provide a baseline evaluation for the City's Golf Course,
by subscribing to this Service Meridian would also obtain: a written report of the USGA's findings and
PAGE-3
{ i'
recommendations for continued course development; year-round consultation by telephone; and the ability
to attend seminars with agronomists at regional meetings.
Hiring the Turf Advisory Service for this baseline study was also seen as a way for Meridian to solidify its
relationship with the Idaho Golf Association and the USGA. Viewing all of this as very positive results for
the nominal fee paid to the USGAl the City Council authorized the one-day intensive inspection of Cherry
Lane Golf Course by the U8GA.
The USGA inspection of Cherry Lane Golf Course occurred on the fine fall day of October 21) 2002.
Council Members, Meridian staff, the Golf Course operator and members of the public were all invited to
participate with the USGA agronomist. The review was designed to provide a broad overview of the Golf
Course) but was also designed to address very specific items. For example1 there was to be a detailed
look at trees, grass, soils, infrastructure and equipment As Mr. Matt Nelson, the agronomist, described it,
the review was to go from "soup to nuts." A full copy of the Turf Advisory Service Report is found in Tab
2) and is summarized below. Notes and pictures taken during the inspection are found in Section 5
immediately below.
First and foremost, the infrastructure at Cherry Lane Golf Course was discussed during the inspection. As
noted by the USGA, serious infrastructure deficiencies limit the ability of Meridian and Cherry Lane to
provide the golf environment the City desires. These serious deficiencies include: an inadequate and
failing irrigation system; poor construction techniques throughout the newest nine holes; the lack of a
centrally-located maintenance facility; and the need for more maintenance equipment.
Although agronomic (that is, turfgrass and tree) improvement programs were discussed during the
inspection, the USGA agronomist pointed out that no significant agronomic improvements could
be expected at the Golf Course until the irrigation system - the life blood of the Golf Course - is
addressed.
Deficiencies
The separate front and back nine irrigation systems are separate and poorly designed and
constructed. The system serving the older nine holes is due for replacement (the useful life span
is approximately 25 years).
The irrigation system installed on the new nine uses components better suited for residential use.
The sprinkler heads (Falcon) have not been observed at any other golf course visited around the
country. Golf course sprinkler head models should have been used for the front nine.
Broken water lines and component failure is common on the back nine, resulting in poor turfgrass
health, especially in the middle of the fairways.
There is inconsistent and inadequate spacing between sprinkler heads, i.e., sprinkler heads are
spaced more than 100' apart (typical irrigation designs utilized triangulated spacing of 651 to 75'
between sprinkler heads).
The irrigation system lacks a centralized controller and sprinkler heads are unable to be isolated
(because of significant differences in water requirements on a course, golf courses strive to
control one or two sprinkler heads from one valve).
Small pipe sizing throughout the course results in compromised operating pressure and water
distribution.
Inadequate pumping results in significantly extended run times, reduced flexibility in the system
and greater wear and tear on the components.
The existing maintenance facility is located too far from the golf course, posing safety concerns
and inefficient use of time.
There is a lack of maintenance equipment, including dependable aeration equipment.
Greens 1, 6, 7 and 9 are constructed at an extreme slope (as much as 7 - 8% compared to the
standard of 1.5 - 2% at the potential hole location) posing maintenance challenges, and
compromising playability.
PAGE-4
1 ,
Greens on the new nine are not constructed to any specifications recognized in the industry,
resulting in dry spots and turfgrass inconsistency.
Topsoil is lacking throughout the new nine, which accentuates deficiencies in the irrigation
system.
The irrigation canal that cuts across NO.3 fairway is not grassed (at the insistence of the canal
company), inviting pedestrians and bicyclists onto the course, and compromising safety.
Recommendations
Retain the services of a qualified golf course irrigation consultant to audit the existing system and
develop plans for replacement with a proper system. Replacement is likely the only feasible
option.2
Retain the services of a qualified golf course architect to design and rebuild the greens on the new
nine to an accepted specification.
Locate the maintenance facility close to the course and provide areas within the facility for proper
storage of equipment and materials. In 1995, the City, Cherry Lane Recreation and Brighton
Corporation discussed locating the maintenance building in an area west of the practice green
and the then #1 green. Brighton asked that Cherry Lane Recreation have its architect set the
location.
Lightweight fairway mowers and rotary mowers (for the roughs) should be obtained to improve
cutting quality and turfgrass health. There has been discussion between the City and Cherry Lane
Recreation in connection with the possible Golf Course use of Meridian Parks Department
equipment (and vice versa), which equipment is only used occasionally. This sharing of
equipment (possibly with the payment of a rental fee) would seem to be an effective use of public
equipment at public facilities. Of course, details of how such expensive equipment would be used
and by whom would have to be worked out between the City and Cherry Lane Recreation. As
described below, one recommendation of the Special Golf Course Committee is to encourage the
City and Cherry Lane Recreation to use good-faith efforts to work out such details for the joint,
efficient use of such equipment.
Greens should be core aerated twice annually with 5/8" diameter hollow tines.
Greens should be lightly top-dressed at least monthly.
Continue to core-aerate fairways at least once annually with piston-driven fairway aerator.
Annually fertilize fairways with 3 - 4 Ibs. of actual nitrogen per 1000 S.F.
Continue to overseed fairways; annually overseed fairways with perennial ryegrass at a rate of
200 - 300 Ibs per acre.
Negotiate with the canal company to grass the recently-culverted irrigation canal; grassing will not
restrict the canal company's right-af-way.
Slowly introduce a partial system of cart paths throughout the golf course surrounding greens and
tees.
Plan the location of the partial system of cart paths so there remains the possibility of a
continuous cart path system at a future date.
On November 12, 2002, Cherry Lane Recreation addressed the Mayor and City Council at a pre-Council
hearing and presented the Council with the United States Golf Association Turf Advisory Service Report.
Also presented to the Mayor and Council was a compact disk containing pictures taken during the
inspection some of which are found in the Section below. The Mayor and Council received the report and
discussed the need to set aside time to discuss the report.
At the November 12 hearing and in a November 21, 2002 letter to the Mayor and Council, Cherry Lane
Recreation proposed that the City organize a golf course committee to plan for the needed improvements
at the Golf Course. Cherry Lane also indicated to the City that it might be very beneficial if the City would
dedicate a staff person (and some of that person's time each week or month) to participate with and assist
the committee. For example, the City's Parks Department employee, Elroy Huff, and the City's Parks
Board Commission Member, Creg Steele, both indicated a desire to work further with Cherry Lane

Recreation and the City to accomplish improvements at the Golf Course. Also, because financing
strategies were likely to be explored by the committee, it was thought that a staff person from the finance
office of the City would be invaluable. The committee did not have someone from the finance office of the
City to assist its work, but the City must ensure that the finance office of the City fully explores further
funding strategies and makes a recommendation to the City.

USGA INSPECTION OF CHERRY LANE GOLF COURSE
OCTOBER 21, 2002
MINUTES
Attendees:
Matt Nelson, USGA
Creg Steele, Meridian Parks and Recreation Commission

Sharon Gallivan, Spink Butler Clapp, LLP
Matt Nelson with the USGA conducted the inspection.
The inspection began with a Q & A among the attendees regarding the background and history of the
course. Jennifer Lovan-Holloway was the primary source for the responses. The issue of the
maintenance shed and property to be donated for the shed was addressed as well.
Jennifer estimates that 30,000 - 40,000 rounds of golf are played each year at the course. There are five
full time employees. The development of the course in two phases was explained. The goal of the
inspection was defined: 1) work together to see that the City has the golf course the City was promised by
the developers; 2) identify deficiencies in the infrastructure; and 3) propose avenues to improve the
course.
The field inspection started on the practice green. Matt Nelson stated that the practice green is subgrade
and not very well constructed. He also said that the practice green generally takes a lot of abuse, more
than other areas on the course. He
addressed the cart paths and stated that
the paths may be placed to better
distribute traffic and reduce compaction.
PAGE - 7
The first three holes are the area that the top
soil was scraped off by the developer to move
to subdivision building lots. Nelson said that
the topsoil issue is something that should have
been addressed in the construction contract.
He stated that a golf course architect/designer
would have been valuable in the initial stages of
development.
At the 200-yard marker Nelson took
a bore sample. He described the
water problems and discussed the
placement of the sprinklers, noting
that there seemed to be no real
pattern of placement and coverage.
Jennifer said that this area
originally had very poor coverage
and Cherry Lane Recreation had
added approximately 8 sprinklers to
this area. Nelson pointed out two
issues: 1) the line is undersized
(Tom Funkhouser said the line was
3" from the pumphouse); and 2) the
pressure at the pumphouse is 70
Ibs. and only approximately 50 Ibs.
in the field. There was some
discussion about whether the line
might actually be 6 inches at the
pumphouse or 4 inches. Nelson
asked if Cherry Lane had tried
doing some overseeding. Nancy
Link and Jennifer stated that overseeding has been done.
PAGE - 8

(
First Green: Nelson remarked that
the slope of the green (7-80/0)
should be no more than 1-2% to
keep the greens slower. He said
this green was a "do-over." He
{, also remarked that the cart paths
should be relocated to the other
side of the green.
Hole No. 2 fairway: No
sprinkler heads? Nelson
described the triangulated
spacing of sprinkler heads
that should be found in this
area. This prompted a
discussion of how the course
was originally financed, and
the allocation of expenses for
the necessary
improvements. Will Berg
explained the $650 lot
assessment and mentioned
the $100 lot fee. Jennifer
talked about the slow market
in the 19805 and how the
second nine was put on hold.
The three developers
responsible for the course
were identified: Kent Barney,
Brighton Corporation, and
Steiner Development.
Jennifer mentioned that Brighton had recently brought in more trees, and Steiner had added irrigation
lines.

No.2 Green: Nelson inspected the soil
in this area and said that the clay is
"wickingU the water away from the green.
This is evidenced by the fact that the
course manager has had so much
trouble getting grass to grow where Tom
Funkhouser put in a plug (see picture) to
see if the plug would grow.
.:~Lr~'.~ : .~~~i~ ~'L:-~ I ~~ - ~;:\~~:..~~_~~ ~~~
No.3 Fairway: Nelson
remarked that the aeration
they have been doing (see
picture of tractor aerating
later) is good, but what they
need to do is look at possibly
purchasing TORO or John
Deere equipment. Nelson
said to go down about 3-4"
and pull a plug. CLR is using
a tractor that has a "slicing"
action rather than tines that
penetrate to a greater depth.
Nelson suggested that CLR
should look for someone who
is starting a contract aeration
company and have them
aerate as far down as
possible. He said the soils are
very tight and it probably
wouldnJt go very far for the first
few attempts. CLR needs to aerate at least annually, but "irrigation is the huge problem here." Nelson
said that it would take at least $1 M to do the irrigation right, and he figured that only a third of what was
needed was actually done. Matt stated that it wouldn't matter how many holes you punch in the turf,
without an adequate sprinkler system it won't make any difference, you'd just have poor turf with holes.
PAGE - 10
Tiled ditch: Nelson said that grass is needed over the ditch. According to Jennifer. Tom and NancYf
Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District will not allow that. Since the new elementary school opened, children
are riding their bikes down this "path" and
are coming into the path of play. Nelson
said CLR should present Nampa-
Meridian with the safety issues and the
environmental fact that turf is the best
filter for possible pollutants. Jennifer
noted that both the canal company and
someone working for a developer are
driving trucks down this "path. tt
No.3. Green & NO.4 Tee box: Root growth is good, but the concern is thatch. Nelson demonstrated how
the different layers in the sod accumulate water and how similar they are to "growth rings" of a tree.
Nelson stressed that water
management is crucial, and although
the problems here are not unusual,
the problems are not what you want.
Aeration and top dressing will help
and should be done in the spring and
fall, perhaps mid-May and Labor Day.
This schedule will preserve the play
time as much as possible. Nelson
said that this condition can become a
real problem if the soil gets
compacted. The sample Nelson took
had good density and strong root
development. This condition in this
area requires more difficult water
management as problems with weeds
and moss can result.
PAGE - 11
c
No.4 Green: Jennifer noted that the
course "gained" property here from a
developer when a subdivision was
platted. No irrigation lines are
available to water this area. This is
one location suggested for the new
Maintenance Shed. Jennifer has been
watering some of this area with a
hose.
NO.5. "Core aeration" will have longer lasting benefit here and would be a good tool to use in conjunction
with the blade tool currently being used. Will mentioned that Dave McKinnon is the City staff person
working with the golf course now, since
reorganization after staff members Shari
Stiles and Tom Koontz left. Nelson
questioned whether there was any
professional involved with the design of
the golf course. All said "no." Sharon
Gallivan asked Nancy about Brighton's
plan designed by David Peugh. She
said that plan was never used. Nelson
mentioned again that the irrigation for
the course should have been $1-1.5M
and that the developers really got a
good deal out of the City on this. Again
in this area, Nelson pointed out the poor
spacing of irrigation heads. He said it
should be no more than 60-70 feet, and
that they should employ a "wedge"
pattern. He also noted that the heads
on the sprinklers are "residential"
heads, and that they aren't appropriate for a golf course.
PAGE - 12
#7 Pond and Hole: This is an
example of the "fluid" property
boundaries around the course
that changed as residential
subdivisions were approved and
built. 1 A Tee box had to be
moved because it ended up in
the back yard of one of the
residential lots. Sharon asked if
the golf course had been
surveyed in the last two years;
Jennifer indicated it had been
just "spot surveyed" meaning
that CLR knows what the golf
course is only after the
developers place the
subdivision boundaries.
Jennifer said that they have played
with a 611 bump this summer
because of the poor condition of
the course in this area. This area
is also where the issue of drainage
swales on the golf course was
raised. Will mentioned that there
was a triangle property here that
Steiner was supposed to swap.
Jennifer said the swap had taken
place.
I The boundaries only now are somewhat known given that the surrounding
subdivisions have been platted. In effect, the City's golf course was defined by various
developers during the course of development over 30 years. Although an invoice for a
survey was paid by the City, the particular survey has not been located.
PAGE - 13
(
Well: There is a well near Black Cat that is on the golf coursej but no one knows who owns it. Jennifer
has done some research. There is a wide
expanse of almost flat, featureless ground.
Nelson remarked that they should have been
able to use the fill dirt for molding the course.
According to Jennifer the contractors used
quite a lot of dirt to build up and level the
residential lots. This area next to the road is
the only area that isn't fenced from the road.
Jennifer said that former Planning Department
Director Shari Stiles didn't want a fence there.
Will suggested that a split rail fence would be
good to separate the area from the road.
PAGE - 14
There was discussion about a
paved access that had been
removed and replaced with
"pavers" through which the grass
would grow. This "grass-crete"
treatment would allow a truck to
come in and service the "port-a-
potty" at that end of the course.
No. 10 : Nelson said this area has
good root development. "Not
terrible - some sand down there.
and it is distributed." He said the
speed and slope of the greens are
problematic. Jennifer commented
that the lower handicaps don't like
playing their course because it's
too fast.
Pumphouse:
Problems with
erosion caused
CLR to make
repairs last
year. Brought
in rocks to
stabilize.
PAGE - 15
" I
No. 11 Fairway: Jennifer and
Nancy commented that this is
an area where the survey is off
by about 40 feet or so; the
irrigation doesnJt go to the
edges and that leaves a "no
man's land" that is just weeds
and not getting watered. Will
mentioned the "piecemeal"
nature of the acquisition of the
course.
Nelson said that his
recommendation would be to
do the course in phases: do
the pump station first, and in
the subsequent years do one
nine at a time. He said they
need a good contractor to do it
though, not someone who is
going to come in and do it and
leave after a couple of weeks.
Nelson also said they need a "master plan. n The irrigation system should last about 25 years (Jennifer
noted that it's time to. redo the original nine).
PAGE - 16
Also, in this section there was a ditch
that was tiled and grass was grown
over the top (question: why did
Nampa-Meridian Irrigation allow them
to grow grass here but won't allow it in
the newer area?). All that remains
visually (other than a very noticeable
depression) is a gravel "path." This
gravel area tends to funnel the golf
cart traffic to the center. Nelson said
they should remove that area and
plant grass to distribute traffic.

6.. Meridian Special Golf Course Committee
Following receipt of the USGA report, Mayor Corrie set the time and place for a Meridian City Council
Special Workshop. This workshop was held on January 27,2003, with 27 attendees.3 A number of the
attendees who have seen the Golf Course develop over time provided an extensive background for those
who were unaware of the history. See Tab 1. Following the historical review, the attendees had a free~
flowing discussion for almost two hours on the items that needed improvement at the Golf Course stating
their ultimate aim was to discuss solutions and how to move forward to make needed improvements.
At the workshop, City Council Members voiced their desire to have a list of needed improvements, an
understanding of what it would cost to undertake those improvements, and an overview of financial
strategies to fund improvements. With such knowledge the Council Members acknowledged they could
work to prioritize improvements at the Golf Course and get the strong message to the general public that
there is a very real need for funding for Cherry Lane Golf Course.
Attendees agreed that the City and Cherry Lane Recreation are presently working together in a
public/private partnership; the City had not received all that the City had expected to receive from the
original Golf Course developers; the goal is to make a better situation than what exists today; and a
committee should be formed to provide the Council with the information desired.
Walt Morrow and Charlie Roundtree were nominated as co-chairs of a Special Golf Course Committee
with Walt Morrow to call the first meeting. Members of the special committee included:
Will Berg (City Clerk)
Keith Bird (City Council member)
JoAnn Butler (Cherry Lane Recreation)
Tom Funkhouser (Cherry Lane Golf Course Superintendent)
Sharon Gallivan (Cherry Lane Recreation)
Jim Johnson (Meridian businessman and former Meridian official)
Jennifer Lovan-Holloway (Historical Perspective)
David Mae (former Parks Board member)
Walt Morrow (Co-Chairman; former City Council member)
Charlie Rountree (Co-Chairman; former Meridian City Planning & Zoning Commissioner)
Creg Steele (Meridian City Parks Board)
The committee met four times between April 30 and June 25, 2003. At the first and subsequent meeting,
the function of the committee was re-stated by Walt Morrow:
We are a special function committee ... here ... to determine what type of physical improvements
that it would take to [bring] the golf course ... to whatever the standard might be. As Tom
explained, u. the USGA standard is not a standard that's cast in stone for each golf course it's
something that makes a golf course more playable.
Our charge [from] the City Council ... is simply to determine what type of physical improvements
can be made to the golf course, the approximate costs of those improvements, then recommend
ways of maybe financing those costs and ... the City Council and the Mayor and the Council can
determine what standard they want that golf course to be and how to pay for that standard.
Immediately following is the special committee's list of Golf Course needs. The committee made good
faith estimates of the costs to meet these needs based on the practical experience of several committee
members. The special committee acknowledged that these costs could vary in either direction by 100/0.

improving the quality of the golf course will depend entirely upon improving the irrigation system."
[Emphasis added.] In an attempt to start the process to identify a standard1 the Special Golf Course
Committee identified the four most comparable golf courses around the Treasure Valley (all surrounded
by residential subdivisions) that, if emulated, might bring Cherry Lane Golf Course up to a standard
desired by Meridian and the golfers that patronize the Course. These four courses include: Eagle Hills;
Indian Lakes; Plantation; and Warm Springs.
7. Funding Options! Alternatives
Meridianls desire in the 1970s, to develop a community golf course to attract business to locate in the
community, remains an appropriate goal for one of the fastest growing cities in Idaho. In the 1970s, the
desire of the City was to have a quality golf course. There is certainly strong doubt that the City received
what it was promised. Now, more than 30 years later, the City recognizes the municipal goal to refurbish
Cherry Lane Golf Course so that it becomes what the City desired -- a quality golf course recognized as
such in the Treasure Valley.
For this admirable goal to be met, funding options must be identified, sought out, received, and applied to
refurbish the infrastructure at Cherry Lane Golf Course.
Of course, all of this is easier said than done. The charge of the Special Golf Course Committee was to
identify deficiencies at the Golf Course, make "a broad brush guesstimate of costs to remedy these
deficiencies, and identify possible funding solutions. With this identification, the City and its staff can rank
the various options and make decisions as to which options the City will pursue.
A few members of the committee met with attorneys and bankers who have worked with the City in the
recent past in connection with bond financing (in connection with the City's police station), and also met
with an attorney that has assisted the City in connection with its urban renewal efforts. These meetings
were done to familiarize the committee with some of the nuances of financing strategies. What became
clear to the committee is that financing efforts must be undertaken with strong assistance from the City
staff with authorization from the Council. Without this authorization it will be difficult for the City to
complete its actions.
The most immediate action to the undertaken by the City in its funding strategy is to place the
improvements in the City's Capital Improvement Plan. The necessary Golf Course improvements
identified here should be transferred from this special committee report directly to the draft
Comprehensive Parks and Recreation System Action Plan and adopted along with that Action Plan.
Generally, there has been sustained pressure on all local governments to finance public facilities;
recreational facilities are typically Iowan a city's priority scale. Property taxes together with special users'
fees have generally proved insufficient to make up the shortfall of revenues needed to fund necessary
infrastructure. Against these pressures, municipalities have increasingly expected private developers to
build, donate or pay for infrastructure projects either in whole in part as a condition of development.
Meridian is certainly no exception here and is familiar with the legal issues in connection with the propriety
of such conditions or payments required with any development approval and the point at which the line
should be drawn between legitimate and illegitimate conditions.
Specifically in connection with Cherry Lane Golf Course, developers over the years were required to build,
donate or pay for the Golf Course's infrastructure. The clear pattern that emerges from the City's files is
that the area surrounding Cherry Lane Golf Course was developed in a piecemeal fashion over 30 years,
and the development of the Golf Course was conducted in a manner far short of typical golf course
development standards and far short of the City's expectations.
The area surrounding Cherry Lane Golf Course is now all but residentially-developed. With this
development completed, the City no longer has the opportunity to exact, as a condition of development,
improvements at the Golf Course, and no longer has the opportunity to require that developers pay special

(
assessments to facilitate golf course improvements. The donations and construction of the Golf Course
over the past 30 years have been described. The City has also authorized special fees in connection with
residential lots surrounding the golf course.
The City authorized golf course development fees of $650 per residential lot (paid upon application for a
building permit), from lots in Ashford Greens, The Lake at Cherry Lane Subdivisions, and others. These
$650 special assessments were first discussed in 1995 between Meridian (Mayor Kingsford), Brighton
Corporation and Cherry Lane Recreation and later authorized by the City Council. The City committed
$350,000 from the City's Enterprise (sewer) Fund for installation of improvements to the Golf Course.
Around this same time, there was an ongoing fund-raising effort to raise private funds to supplement the
City funds. The goal was to raise $500,000 with the expectation of raising at least $200,000. In addition,
the City was soliciting volunteer labor and suppliers to augment the Enterprise Fund dollars and the
private dollars.4 The total fees to be assessed, and the collection by the City to datel are indicated in the
table below:

above indicates that approximately 159 residential lots are left from which to collect this special
assessment. If that is the case, the City will eventually collect approximately $369,820 to offset
expenditures. The reader should note that) because of development modifications around the Golf
Course. there is some confusion as to how many lots are actually available from which to collect this
special assessment. The numbers range from 44 lots to 159 lots. A number in the lower portion of this
range appears to be more likely to be correct.
No one source is likely to fund all of the identified Golf Course needs. It may be possible for the City "mix
and match" the possible funding sources to facilitate the identified Golf Course needs. As stated in the
CPRSP:
[Clost and revenue "balance" may be achieved by establishing funding objectives which require
that a portion of revenue be generated from the tax base while the balance of funds are generated
through discretionary sources) interlocal agreements) and enterprise opportunities. The City
should advance specific financing opportunities within present statutory capability and then
combine new funding alternatives it determines appropriate for acquisition, development,
operations and maintenance of park and recreation facilities.
Also as stated in the CPRSP) the Parks & Recreation Department policy of economic performance is
stated as follows:
The Department will identify and utilize a combination of revenue centers with emphasis on
formation of public/private joint ventures, partnerships or concession agreements. Such revenue
centers shall be organized to create funds to create a capital trust fund, and to create a revenue
share to support qualified public service (non-revenue) program s that are for the well being of the
community.
Possible funding alternatives include:
General Obligation Bonds: With these bonds, the City borrows money for public facility
development to be repaid with funds generated by an increase in property taxes. These voter-
approved (two-thirds of all voters required) bonds establish an increase in property taxes for a
period of time (typically 20 - 30 years) necessary to repay the bonds. The money raised can only
be used for capital improvements and not maintenance.
Revenue Bonds: Revenue bonds may be issued based on leasehold values of land, facilities and
operating entities that create a cash flow. Voter approval is required. Revenue and general
obligation bonds should possibly be considered for use as a function of enterprise activity where
public/private partnership recreation opportunities-such as Cherry Lane Golf Course-are found.
General Fund: The City's general fund takes in revenues and makes expenditures for the
ongoing operation of City functions. As noted in the CPRSP Action Plan, funding of
improvements at Cherry Lane Golf Course is an ongoing activity of the City. Some general funds
may be available to assist with refurbishing the Golf Course.
Certificates of Participation: this option would have the City sell COPs to lending institution and
use the loan from the lender to make improvements at the facility. The lender would secure ties
the loan by taking title to be facility prior to the repayment of the COPs. The loan is repaid from
revenue generated by the facility or from the City's general operating budget. This option is
subject to judicial approval.
Grants: Grants are available from a variety of sources, including the USGA Foundation and
Community Development Block Grants. The City can also obtain grants to assist with park and
recreation facilities other than Cherry Lane Golf Course thereby freeing up municipal funds for use
at the Golf Course.
PAGE - 25
. I
Joint Publici Private Partnership: The City's CPRSP Action Plan discusses this approach
whereby the City enters into a working agreement with a quasi-public or private corporation to help
fund, build, and/or operate a public facility. Once the City has entered into such an arrangement,
operation of the facility is conducted by the Corporation and the City benefits by receiving rent.
Today this represents the very situation between Meridian an.d Cherry Lane Recreation, Inc.
Cherry Lane helped facilitate the construction of the golf course by various developers, the
coordination of donations and volunteer efforts over the years. The City receives rent from the
Golf Course operator.
Other funding mechanisms are necessary at this time to further the joint public/private partnership
between Meridian and Cherry Lane Recreation because the facility has been hampered by poor
construction as well as many components reaching the end of their expected life.
8. Recommendations
· Amend the Comprehensive Parks & Recreation System Plan and the corollary UAction Plan" to
establish a goal to improve Cherry Lane Golf Course to the standard desired by the community.
Amend the City Capital Improvements Plan to list the infrastructure needs at Cherry Lane Golf
Course along with a time frame for making those improvements.
Develop a direct liaison relationship between the Parks & Recreation Director and/or Recreation
Program Manager and Cherry Lane Recreation.
City personnel (finance and legal) should review all possible sources of funds to capitalize the Golf
Course infrastructure.
The Special Golf Course Committee report should be shared with the representatives of the
homeowner's associations that are in the vicinity of the Golf Course. Further input should be
provided by these associations.s
The Special Golf Course Committee report should be shared with season pass holders and the
men's and women's golf associations at Cherry Lane Golf Course. Further input should be
provided by these golfers.
The City should retain the services of a qualified golf course irrigation consultant to audit the
existing system and develop plans for replacement with a proper system.
The City should retain the services of a qualified golf course architect to design and then have
rebuilt the greens on the new 9 to an accepted specification. The City and Cherry Lane
Recreation should identify and locate the maintenance facility close to the Golf Course.
The City and Cherry Lane Recreation should use good faith efforts to jointly purchase and use golf
course/park equipment. The City should advise Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District that the City
requires Cherry Lane Recreation to grass all tiled irrigation canals running through the Golf
Course.
Meridian and Cherry Lane Recreation should strengthen their public/private partnership as a
positive step in advancing park and recreation services for Meridian citizens.
Cherry Lane Recreation should maintain the junior golf programs at the Golf Course at the
present level with a goal to increase such programs.
Cherry Lane Recreation should maintain its new class for 5~8 year aids, playing three holes.

ENDNOTES:
1. Cherry Lane Recreational Programs/Events:
Cherry Lane Golf Course has expanded its recreational programs as Meridian's population has
dramatically increased. In addition to working with Meridian's Parks and Recreation Department, Cherry
Lane Recreation assists the City by providing its own extensive golf programs at the City's municipal golf
course. In a recent letter to be City, Cherry Lane Recreation took the opportunity to let the City know
about the exciting events that have taken place at the golf course recently. These include:
For the third year in a row, Meridian High School golfers (boys), using Cherry Lane as
their home course, have taken the 5-A District State Championship.
.
Meridian High School golfers (girls), using Cherry Lane as their home course, qualified
this year to go to the State Tournament.

letter to developer stating that the sprinkler system as installed is inadeq uate: II... it
is almost needless to say this has caused an undue hardship on the Cherry Lane
Recreation Association.1f
Cher Lane Golf Course receives a conditional use ermit for a snack bar.
City Council approves Jensen/Lampe annexation. JUS Engineers, representing
the developer, explained that part of this property is needed to expand the golf
course.
P&Z recommends denial of Cherry Lane Village West (Subdivision No.3) stating
that there are numerous problems with the existing 9 holes and the developer
(Leavitt-Nu Pacific) was reneging on its obligation to construct the second 9 holes
timely, thus providing the City with a second-rate golf course. Following a
discussion of the quality of development in connection with the first 9 holes and
the dela in timin for the second 9 holes the Council denied the lat.
Barney and Leavitt-Nu Pacific request approval for a retirement center. During the
hearing, the developer states its belief that the developer is not locked in to the
placement of the golf course greens. Unclear from file whether this request was
ever a roved.
Part of oIf course Lot 9 of The Lake at Cher Lane deeded to Cit b Barne .
City Council approves The Lake at Cherry Lane Subdivision NO.2: 21 building lots
plus 2 lots added to the golf course. Conditions include widening and lengthening
hole no. 3. Discussion of fact that previous property divisions have created
problems in terms of land locking the applicant's parcel and also creating
roblems in develo in the rest of the off course.
Evidence in files that at this time a $100 per lot contribution was being required to
fund the com lation of Cher Lane Golf Course.
City calls meeting of Barney, Clegg, Tealey, Hubble, Corrie, Lovan, Turnbull,
Torfin and Forrey to discuss golf course master plan and property owner
commitments. Approval of Cherry Lane at the Lake. Letter to Barney from Mayor
(Kingsford): fl... Meridian will develop the golf course fairways, and greens, within
your proposed subdivision. The City must gain title to the affected golf course land
through the final planning process. As a condition of approval for your subdivision,
the City will assess a $600 golf course development fee to each lot in your
subdivision, collected at the time of building permit application. The City intends to
construct fairwa sand reen im rovements durin 1994."
Memo to Council from Forrey: "Conversations with landowners and the developer
indicate to me that several items pertaining to the golf course development are still
unresolved. City Council may want to table action pending a coordination meeting
between all parties to work out details of this project." Appears action on Cherry
Lane at The Lake Subdivision NO.3 tabled.
Development of Subdivision No.3 appears to have transferred from Barney to
Steiner. Steiner representative indicates Steiner will construct 2.5 holes and
Brighton Corp. will construct 6.5 holes of the second 9 holes. Steiner requests and
receives a density transfer in exchange for donating 14 acres to the City and
changes in the golf course master plan. Councilman Morrow indicates desire to
receive title to the 14 acres as soon as ossible.

in a matter not inconsistent with the Lease with Cherry Lane Recreation.
Final plat for approval for The Lake at Cherry Lane Subdivision No.5. Steiner
argued that no golf course development fees are due because the subdivision is
not adjacent to the golf course. Councilman Morrow replies: It... the issue in terms
of what ground pays golf course development fees was set by the original
proposal that was put forth in 1978 by Mr. Leavitt of Leavitt-Nu Pacific and the
grounds that were incorporated and the premise which City excepted the deed to
the golf course and the promise that they were going to have 18 holes and a club
house at no expense to the City and be donated by Leavitt-Nu Pacific. It is my
understanding that the grounds that were part of their original proposal were the
ones that would be limited to the Qolf course fee. II
Final plat approval for The Lake at Cherry Lane Subdivision No.6. (Steiner)
The City Council had an extensive discussion regarding drainage wells on the golf
course and maintenance being required by the golf course tenant VS. the
developer. [Which one? This discussion was in connection with Ashford
Greens No.1 which was originally planned by Brighton but apparently, after
losing the option, developed by Steiner.] The Council concluded: "We do not
feel that it's appropriate for this developer to pass responsibility for maintenance to
the golf course." [Note that a storm water drainage easement references the
ACHD manual stating that the homeowners association and/or Cherry Lane
Recreation will do light maintenance of the storm water ponds in Ashford
Greens subdivisions 5 and 6. Seems to imply they also do the heavy
maintenance rather than ACHD.]

PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT OF SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP, JANUARY 27,2003
Ada County Commissioner and Former Meridian Mayor Grant Kingsford: The history [goes] back to
farmers in the early seventies [who thought] it would be ideal to develop a section of land that ... they all
sold to create a golf course [for] th,e City. '" There were a lot of efforts and ... in seventy-five they sold to a
company out of Seattle called Leavitt-Nu Pacific [that] took options on what became the front nine and
options for what became the back nine. They exercised those options on the front nine and did in fact
[hire a] construction architect. There were all kinds of problems to that. The engineering firm was JUB
and Gene Wright was the engineer and he admitted that he never did a golf course. He said that he
would ... estimate where the golf course was. ... As the subdivision, by phases was completed, the out of
bounds sides [was determined]. The sprinkler system was built. It was probably working reasonably well
all things considered except ... every time that they would build a house then all of a sudden the sprinkler
hit their house and so Cherry Lane had to make modifications to extremes. ... If that happens, of course,
you don't have the coverage. Everybody wants the golf course to look just like thejr lawn but you can't do
that with the sprinkler system that's all (inaudible). A lot of the issues there, I think there was a certain
amount of (inaudible) involved (inaudible). The first year there was all kinds of problems in it. As time
progressed a lot of things (inaudible) on the back nine that reverted back to ... two farmers.... and there
was pressure there on City government to do away with the concept of building the back nine. The mayor
at that time (inaudible). So having two ownerships there, I never did get those guys in agreement to put
together a development plan that would develop the back nine. I did sit down with both ... and explored
the concept of] a development fee per lot that would generate some money and perhaps the City could get
involved and build that back nine. ... The lot fees generated [by] ... a build out at particular proposed
density ... [that was] not ... eventually approved. I don't know how that came about to the point where the
[particular densities were] approved. There were some condominiums and [the] concept of townhouse
and zero lot line homes in the center. Any rate then two developers agreed to that, then they exercised
some options that Brighton Corporation dropped. But Brighton, Law and Bishop where you got those 40
acres modified the development of ... it would be laid out, made it a lot more playable in a lot of respects,

proposed that ... this was a part of getting annexation approval from the City and then ... they would build
the back nine and then build a club house and other amenities [such as] a maintenance shed, and all
(inaudible) accumulated over some 30 years (inaudible). They were going to build those things and turn

Kingsford: (Inaudible). As we have looked at Cherry Lane over the time it was being constructed

Mayor Robert Corrie: ... I guess one of my questions I had on the back nine: if some of that work was ...
not put in, [was it] just because of money... or it wasn't followed .... 11m missing something here that you
were talking about, Grant that the City I think put in that back nine with the money from the homes ... and
we find out now that the top soil is bad and the irrigation has been bad.
Kingsford: We knew that (inaudible). Irrigation I think is a major thing and we keep going in if that wasnlt
the absolute best irrigation system you could buy. I think that (inaudible) a year before we golfed

Director of Cherry Lane Recreation, Inc. Nancy Link: Even in whatever it cost [for] the actual sprinkler
system on that nine. It really isnlt a golf course system. ... Tommy [Funkhouser] can tell you better about
the configuration of where you locate the sprinkler head and how that ties into the rest of the system. And
on the new nine that doesnlt exists. You can't isolate headsl there are clusters of heads that work
together that go onto the green, going to the fairways. You got to water the fairways the same as you
water greens. So being able to utilize that particular system. I admire anyone who would be out there
working and trying to figure out how to adjust things so they can get any kind of grass out there growing.
Director of Cherry Lane Recreation, Inc. Jennifer Lovan-Holloway: ... You did ask about topsoil. I know
Grant did not go into this but I do know that we had one developer on our first three holes that did take all
of the topsoil off those fairways. It was already used so there wasn't a lot Grant could do at the time. But
he did put that developer on the hot seat and he did finally admit to taking that.
Kingsford: Interestingly enough, he filled up a drainage ditch. (Inaudible) when he covered the drain ditch
over on east and the one side of number two. There was ditch about seven or eight feet deep but the
(inaudible) fairway off number two. (Inaudible).
Lovan-Holloway: And we planted it that way cause they gave us (inaudible). We are still picking rocks.
Kingsford: (Inaudible).

Corrie: I remember it was in '82 and they scraped the topsoil off of our place too at home. And digging
done about three feet I got a lot of plywood and a place where no grass would grow.
Kingsford: (Inaudible).
City Attorney William Nichols: Commissioner Kingsford did Baldock design the back nine too?
Kingsford: No.
Nichols: (Inaudible)
Kingsford: I guess you could say that JUB and maybe (inaudible) initially had a concept plan and I think
you could find that somewhere in the file. We indicated that we added 40 acres '" that is the same [as]

INTRODUCTION
The following report will summarize topics discussed during the Turf Advisory
Service visit of MondaYt October 21, 2002, at Cherry Lane Golf Course.
The primary topics discussed durin'g the visit' cor'-ceme'd the golf course
infrastructure4 Serious infrastructure deficiencies wifllimit the ability of Cherry Lane
Golf Course to effectively compete within the local golf market. These include an
inadequate and failing irrigation system, the lack of a proper golf course
maintenance facility t an ineffective cart traffic control system, insufficient golf course
maintenance equipment. and poor QOnstruction techniques throughout the new nine
holes. Correcting these deficiencies will require significant investment on behalf of
the Lessee or the Municipality. Terms of the lease agreement sho,uld clearly
~pecjfy which party is responsible for capital improvements and infrastructure items.
Many goff operations with similar arrangements have worked out the responsibility
of capital improvements in the I~se with- either party resp'onsible, depending upon
the language. The shortcomings th'at will be outfined in this report will require
significant investment to correct hOVlever, increasIng the stream of revenue at
Cherry Lane Golf Course will likely depend upon it.
Several agronomic topics and progr~ms were discu.s~ during the: visit although
implementing .these programs will likely not generate significant improvements, until
the irrigation' system is addressed~ In the arid -climate of the Intermountain West, no
_single item has more bearing on tile playability and presentation Of a golf course
than the irrigation system. The next most important consideration is. a centrally
located, safe and efficient m~intenance facility and the nece,ssary equipment to
carry forth modem golf course maintenance practices. Cherry Lane Go.lf Course
has the potential to compete favorably within the Boise golf market with an
investment in the most b~sjc goffcourse maintenance items' inclUding. irrigation and
equipment
IRRIGATION ,SYSTEM
As mentioned abover the irrigation $ystem -at Cherry Lane. Golf 'CoUrse is deficient
in many ways. Separate irrigation systems exist for.the front nine and back nine,
but it might be. difficult to cho:ose which of the 'tv.Jo is worse'. The irrigation syste,m
installed on the new nine utilizes "components better suited fur residential use or
pe.rh~ps. commu.nity parks. In the ,s"even .years I have" spent with '.the US-GA Green
Section traveling to golf courses- across the U.hn:ed S tate S,t I h'ave n.ever
encountered the F.alcon sprinkler heads used at Cherry Lane at any other golf

poor presentation~ Among the deficiencies noted in the irrigatipn systems are the
following:
· Inconsistent and inadequate spacing between sprinkler heads~ In many
locations, spacing between the sprinkler heads was estimated at greater
than 1001. Sp~cing between sprinkler heads was noted to be highly
variable and the corresponding water distribution uniformity Wa~ th.us
highly variable. Modem golf course irrigation designs typically utilize a
triangulated spacing of 65' to 75' between splinkler hea.ds.
Inade.quate and
inconsistent sprinkler
head spacing coupled
with insufficient
operating pressure has
resulted In lousy
distribution uniformity of
irrigation water. The
result is less than
desirable playing quality
and presentation.

the wrong components

MAINT'ENANCE FACILITY
The majnten~nqe facility at Cherry Lane has to be, addressed. The existing..facility
is located approximately one mile from the gqlf course. across a b.usy four-lane
street. This configuration is obviously unsafe and inefficient. The golf course
maintenance facility is truly t~e center and heartbeat of golf course conditioning.
Equipment items need to be properly store'd and serviced regularly to safeguard.the
~ubstan~~1 investment in equipment and achieve. the highest quality turf on the
Gourse. Employees should be provideo a .safe and healtby working environment.
Running \Vater and plumbing ,should not even have to be mentioned. Fertilizer and
pesticide should be properly ston~~d. A dedicated equipment wash area should be
p'rovided to contain rin~te prior"to its. disch'arge into the .environmeht The current

GREENS
Construction - new greens. The 15\ 6th, 7th and gtn greens were constructed with
extreme stope~ The estimated grade at Number 1 green is between 7 and 8'Ok.
Most modem de~igns wiH not exceed 1 ~ to 20/0 at a,ny place :that is a potential hole
rocation. Obviously t this extreme slope VIi II compromise- pJayability ~nd pos~ a rear
maintenance challenge. The greens at Cherry Lane Golf Course will have to be
maintained at very slow speeds to accommodate these ex1:reme slopes, or several
of the- greens will have" to be maintained in"dependentiy of the others. Neither is a
very good alternative. Additionally, the greens at the new nine were not
constructed to-any specifica.tions recogniz~ by the in9ustry. As such, localized dry
,spots and turfgrass inconsistencies have been a problem. Looking ahead. it may
be necessary 19 reconstruct sev~ra( of ,the' new greens to provide a reasonable
putting surfaqe to attract increased revenue. The condition of the putting .greens ~t
any golf course is a huge component with respect to the competitive. ability within
the local market. Should these greens ever be reconstructed, I would strongly
advise utilizing the selVices of a ,qualified '.golf course architect to build the green.s to
an accep~ed specification. This will not only allow the establishment of a. clear
'construction contract, but at~ significantly increase the odds of providing a quality

increase the incid'ence of disease. decrease tolerance of environmental stress and

aerated twice annuaily with 5/8" diameter hollow tines. Remove plugs completely
from the surface and backfill aeration holes as thoroughly as possible with sand.
Early to mid May, and again around Labor Day is the preferred timing to conduct
p'utting green aeration. Favorable recovery will be obtained at this time of year and
agronomic objectives will be met.
It also would prove helpful to increase the frequency of light topdressing4 At least
monthly~ lightly topdress the putting greens at a rate of approximately ~ CU~ yd of
sand per StOOO- sq- fl of putting surface. Light and fr~uent topdressing will help
dilute thatch density and minimize the potential for physical problems from excess

Does Your Irrigation System
Make The Grade?
A guide to help evaluate factors influencing irrigation system performance.
by MIKE HUCK
MOST GOLFERS QUICKLY
recognize poor irrigation
coverage by the obvious - the
number and size of both wet and dry
areas throughout the course. However,
very few understand the many factors
that affect an inigation system's ability
to apply water unifonnly.
First and foremost, proper design
and installation are critical. Hydraulics,
head spacing, nozzle selection, control
capabilities, and climate all must be
considered in the design process. If any
one area is lacking, performance sui..
fers. If one is fortunate enough to al-
ready have a good system in place, then
routine maintenance should sustain
acceptable pezfonnance. Annual adjust-
ment of pumps, pressure regulators,
leveling of low heads to avoid sur..
rotmding turl interference with spray
patterns, and replacement of worn
nozzles or any other damaged compo-
nents must be ongoing,
Outdated systems present another
set of problems with aging hardware
resulting in major failures of pumps,.
controllers, mainlines, and fittings that
can cause large areas of turlloss. To
counter such problems, a daily ritual of
many superintendents is to spot water1
repair leaks, and continually adjust
controllers - turning them up to
reduce dry Spots one day, and down
the next to control wet Spots. So much
time is spent compensating for system
inadequacies and inefficiencies that
little time is left for other duties and the
staff is constantly putting out fires. It is
no wonder that irrigation systems are
often nicknamed irritation systems!
The Report Card Evaluation
Understanding and evaluating fac-
tors that influence irrigation system
performance is the first step towards
improving overall perfonnance. To
understand the system's weaknesses
!
'J
and evaluate where improvement is
needed. consider completing an irriga-
lir'n system report card, The repan
card can hel p golf course decision
makers understand the various factors
affecting inigation system perfonnance
and guide them in developing improve-
ment plans. This suggested method 1)
identifies a system that will satisfy your
needs, 2) considers historical perior..
mance of the existing system, 3) evalu-
ates the existing system's condition as
compared to a state-of-the-art design,
and 4) suggests actions to consider
3) More than one pumping plant or
piping system services different seg.
ments of the golf course.
A grade average can be detennined
following each step and appropriate
plans to bring the system up to an
acceptable grade. that will satisfy your
overall needs (as identified in step one)
can then be developed. Understand
that it may not be possible to improve
every factor to the highest possible HAJJ
grade, but raising any particular area
one or more letter grade can make a
difference.
Is this system state of the art or in a state of disrepair? Evaluating your system
is the first step in determining where improvements should be made or if the
system needs to be upgraded or replaced.
based upon a final grade point average
(GPA).
Before beginning the process, assem-
ble a rating team comprised of the golf
course superintendent, green commit-
tee, general manager, and golf profes-
sional. The rating team then will
evaluate several specific areas and
assign grades from HA/' reflecting ex-
cellent perlonnance, to IlF," indicating
failure for each factor listed on the
report card, a system we are all familiar
with from our school days.
. In most cases, one grade for penor-
mance of the entire irrigation system
will be adequate, but in some cases a
hole-by-hole grading may be necessary
if:
1) Modifications affecting the iniga..
tion system have been made on indi-
vidual or various holes.
2) Significant elevation changes
occur across the property that affect
operating pressures.
2 USGA GREEN SECTION RECORD
Step 1: Determine the Grade
of an Irrigation System That
Will Satisfy Your Needs
The level of sophistication needed
for an irrigation system varies regionally
depending upon factors such as: 1)
golfer expectations for turf quality and
course conditioning, 2) labor and
budget resources, and 3) climate. Not
every location requires (or can justify)
an ''/\' system that includes all the
whistles, buttons, and bells that cur-
rentlyare available. Using the following
factors, an average grade can be devel-
oped that should satisfy your overall
needs.
Golfer Expectations.' Golfers' expec-
tations and acceptance of manual
watering, wet and dry areas, general
twf quality, and playing conditions are
summarized as:
· A: Must look and play like the
latest televised event. Golfers accept
hand watering of greens only.
· B: Excellent conditioning. finn.
fast conditions with an occasional Wet
or dry area. Golfers accept occasionjJ
spot watering on greens, tees. and fair~
ways.
· C: Good conditions with moderate
numbers of wet or dry SpOts. Golfers
accept daily Spot watering of fairways.
tees. and greens to minimize problen1
areas.
· 0: Fair to poor conditions. with
numerous wet and dry areas develop-
ing when relying on sprinklers alone.
Many hose..end sprinkJers run during
the day to maintain acceptable con ~
ditions.
· F: Very poor; large Wet and dry
areas that require manual irrigation ot
large areas daily. U nifonn soil moisture
and twf color are only possible with
rain.
Labor and Budget: To offset system
inefficiencies) use of manual irrigation
with hoses and portable sprinklers is
often necessary, and this can req ui re
significant labor and budget addjtion~
The following criteria can be used to
determine the grade of the SYStt'!ll
needed to provide acceptable condl.
tions based upon budget and labor
availability:
· A: Shoestring; must rely on the
inigation system entirely. Only have
time to mow and set up the course for
play.
· B: Limited; can hand \\'3rcr dr:.
Spots on greens and collars_ .'<or mu(~
time to SpOt water tees or fai~'ays.
· C: Moderate; can put out a ie\\'
roller-base portable sprinklers on tees
and fairways and hand water greens
and collars as required.
· 0: Large; can hide all the inc"ffi\.'i~'~~
cies of the system with hand \va[erin~
and numerous portable sprinklers
· F: Infinite; we can hand \1.,..j!er ~:~t'

system ~t will satisfy your needs,
establish an average grade for the
overall perfonnance of the irrigation
system over the past five years. Ask
questions such as: With the ~
inigation system, has the staff been
able to a} keep the turf healthy all of
the time, b} keep the course green most
of the time, c} keep the course finn and
playable most of the time? Has the
system been reliable and not cost an
excessive amount of money.to main-
tain? In short, the irrigation system
over the past five years has:
· A: ~et or exceeded expectations at
all timeS. . '.
e. B: Met expectations most" of the
time.
· C: Met expectations some of.the
time. .
· 0: Consistently fell below expec-
tations. . , .
· F: Never met expectations. :'.
Step 3: Detennfne the Quality.,.:. ';::~:;
of the Bxf.sting System . :'" '.~I"l' ".: ;
The intended result of any irrigation
system is to apply water uniformly, .but
it is a mistake to think: that only. '!h~d-
to-head coverage" is needed for unJ-
fonn coverage. Unifonn coverage is the
end result of several factors combined,
including: . .' '.' .. .
1. ReaSonable sprinkler spacing dis.
tances' sp.ccified in the original design.
2. Uniformly installed spacing and
proper configuration of sprinklers.
(
3. Sprinkler and nozzle perfonnance
that prod uces optimum coverage with-
in the system's design parameters (le.,
spacing distance, layout, and system
hydtaUlics) ,
4. Flexible controls with the abilifNto
~e the amount of water applied
hued upon varying sJte ~uireDients
(Plant and twf speQes, soil types; shade
influence, slope, etc.). '.
S. Reasonable numbers ofsprlnklers
assigned to control stations.
. 6,. Proper hydraulic design (correct
pipe and pump sizes, operating pres-
sures, and flow rates). I
7. Properly installed, niliable hard..
\V8re components (controllers, fittings,
thrust blocks, pipe pressure rathig,
etc.). ,
In summary; an inigation system
works on the "weakest link in the'
chain" theory. If anyone of the abQve
areas is lacking, undesirable results
often occur. In the following..section,
each of the above areas will 6e graded
against current state-of-the-art design
standards. .
Sprinkler Spacing Distances: Phys-
ics dictates that throwing water a short
distance requiresiess energy (pressure)
than discharging water a greater dis-
tance. Operating at lower pressures
reduces operatin2 costs and minimizes
development of fine droplets that,
when affected by wind, upset applica-
tion patterns. This is why new iniga_
tion systems are designed with c(oser.
spa~ and with sprinklers that oper-
ate at lower pressures. Also, application
unifonnity generally is better when
using smaller spacinp. Assign a grade
for the designed spacing of primary
playing areas as follows:
· A: s 6S feet ·
· B: 66-75 feet
· c: 76-85 feet
· D: 86-95 feet
· F: ~ 96 feet
Spacing and Configuration Uni-
fonnlty: Sprinkler spacing should be
unifonn in distance and .configuration
(equilateral tI:fangIes or squares), Spac-
ing reduced in one direCtion to com-
pensate for wind generally is not
recommended because wind direction
and velocity IlR' usually different each
day. The following criteria can be
used to grade sprinkler spacing and
unifOnnity:
· A: Equilateral ~es or squares,
installed within 5% of designed spacing.
· B: EquilateraI triangles or squares,
installed within 10% of designed
spacing. .
· C: Unifonnly sized non-equiJateral
triangles or rectangles.
· 0: Single ro\Y, unifOnnly spaced
(faiIways). "
· F: V~ spacing with no appar-
ent plan COIlSldered.
SprlnklerlNouk Perf017lta1tce: If
sprinkler and nozzle perfonnance are
not.matched to the installed spacing
-and configuration, then application
unifonnity will never be achieved. To
measure sprinkler distribution perfor..
mance, conduct a catch-can test and
evaluate the data. The basic procedure
is as follows:

~ CHECKUP FOR TIlE NEW MILLENNIUM:
"'Does Your Equipment Fleet Make the Cut?
Meeting player expectations requires the right tools.
by MATI NELSON
IF YOU'RE A GOLF COURSE
official or course owner who has
been involved in purchasing golf
course maintenance equipment, you
might think that the Starship Enterprise
is docked at the maintenance facility.
The cost of golf course maintenance
equipment is high, but when consider-
ing present maintenance standards
and player expectations at many golf
courses, the cost of various equipment
items really is not so surprising. Putting
greens commonly are mowed at II, inch
or belo~ Tees and fairways are being
cut at Ih inch or lower. Bunkers (once
known as hazards) are raked with un..
believable regularity, topdressing sand is
applied every week or two at rates so
light that golfers can't notice, special-
ized products are applied at rates of a
few fluid ounces per acre or less, and
cultivation is perfonned in a manner
intended to minimize disruption to
play. Has golf course conditioning gone
haywire? Regardless, the cost of meet-
ing today's player expectations is high,
and if the course maintenance staff
does not have the tools to get the job
done, players should stop making un-
founded comparisons to other golf
courses.
There are several essential aspects
of remaining competitive in the golf
market. Customer service, location,
golf course design, and conditioning
likely top the list. Service and mainte-
nance are the two that matter every day,
and it is the latter that this article
addresses. Proper conditioning of the
golf course depends upon the skill and
expertise of the golf course superinten-
dent, ,8 welJ.funded budget, and the
necessary tools to 'get the job done (3).
Given the exacting specifications of
present-day playing standards, having
the right tools for the task at hand
separates the good, the bad, and the
ugly (6). Following is a sample equip..
melJt inventory for an IS-hole golf
course, designed to provide high quality
playing conditions. This list may iden-
tify shortcomings in your equipment
inventory that could be a major limiting
Quality aeration equipment i$ a must. Having the proper equipment allows the necessary
practices to be completed in a short time and with the least amount of disruption 10 play.
factor in realizing the desired playing
conditions at your golf course. Regional
differences and special circumstances
win necessitate some variation from
this sample.
Mowing Equipment
Mowing is the most routinely per-
fanned cultural practice on the golf
course. The quality of cut clearly has a
major influence on the playing swface,
and it also can significantly affect the
health of the turf. A dull mower can
increase disease jncjdenc~, adversely
affect the plant physiologica11~ and
increase water use. Hea\{' mowing
equipment imparts wear injury to the
twf and causes soil compaction, both of
which are commonly observed prob-
lems. Properly selected, dependable
mowers are a must for good turf.
Greens: Six to "eight walk-behind
putting green mowers are most com-
mon. If you do not walk mow the putt-
ing greens - strike one. Walk mowing
has consistently demonstrated the best
playing conditions and the healthiest
turf (5). Grooming units should be
included to lightly vertical mow when
conditions are favorable (16). At least
two triplex mowers for greens are
necessary for verticutting, weekend, or
special occasion mowing, and for
mowing following topdressing appli-
cations. Three or four triplex mowers
are needed for the greens if you cannot
walk mow.
Colltm: 1\vo walk-behind mowers
for the collars should suffice. A distant
second is mowing collars with a triplex
mower that also can be used to mow
tees and approaches. Fairway mowers
should not be used to mow collars.
Remember, the heavier the machine.
the more the turf is damaged.
Tees: 1\vo or three triplex putting
green mowers should be part of the
inventory for tee mowing. Tee mowers
also are commonly used to mow
approaches. This strategy prevents
heavier fairway uni~ from turning in
this critical play area. Some of the best
courses go one step further. Tees, co]..
lars, and approaches at these courses
are walk mowed with wider walk-
behind mowers, usually up to 26 inches
Iil.fl'\t fTO& ~ft_.. .__ ___ __ _

(
. ,. .
A dependable fleet of Ughtweight fairWay mowers is needed for a good turf surf~
in width. Four to six of these walk
mowers would be necessary.
Fairways: The advent of lightweight
fairway mowers over the past 10 to 15
years tmly revolutionized the manage-
ment and playabilty of fairways at golf
courses across the country. In fact,
many golf courses with bentgrass fair-
ways mow with triplex putting green
mowers. More realistic, however. is
an inventory of three or four fiveplex
mowers. Within this class of mower.
many different models are available to
suit the specific conditions at your golf
course - type of turfgrass, topography,
soil conditions, etc. Your course has
just one or two failway mowers? Strike
two. What happens when one unit
breaks down and there is no backup?
Can your crew stay ahead of the
golfers? Pencil out the cost of these
inefficiencies and it will be apparent
that the cost of an additional unit can
be recovered in a short time:
Roughs: Articulating rotary rough
mowers with five to nine mower blades
have significantly improved the mow-
ing quality of turf in the roughs and
streamlined maintenance efficiency.
Smaller rotary and reel trim mowers
allow mowing of areas that formerly- .
could only be cut with walk-behind
mowers or string trimmers. Significant
scalping has all but disappeared at golf
courses with an updated rough mow-
ing fleet. Specific requirements depend
largely on rough acreage and design,
2 USGA GREEN SECfION RECORD
but generally one or two large rotary
mowers and three to five trim mowers
are needed. Don't forget that at least
one machine will have to be set up to
mow intermediate rough if this is a
feature at the golf course. Advances in
mower technology are, in fact, a huge
reason that the roughs at many golf
courses really aren't that rough any.
more (17).
Cultivation Equipment
Proper cultivation cannot be over-
stated. High - maintenance standards.
traffic. poor construction, bad soil con...
ditions, overseeding, renovation, and/
or basic agronomic sense underscore
the need for a good cultivation pro-
gram. And, since golfers generally
abhor most of the practices mentioned
in this section, it is extremely helpful to
have the proper equipment so that cuI.
tivation work can be completed in a short
amount of time with the least amount
of disrup~ion to playas is possible.
Aerators: At least two walking putt-
ing green aerators are needed. Be sure
that the machines have the necessary
adapters to be equipped with tines of all
sizes. The ability to perform specialized
cultivation, including small-diameter
solid-tine aeration, can. .make a big
difference in plant health and overall
success of greens. One or two tow-be-
hind piston-driven aerators are neces..
sary to aerate fairways and tees. No
fairway aeration equipment in the
fleet? Strike three. Next batter. Unless
your course is located in a metropolitan
area where contract aeration is avail-
able, the lack of fairway aeration equip-
ment usually results in the development
of agronomic problems and lousy play-
ing quality. If rocks in the soil are a
big problem, you may need to utilize a
drum-type aerator in lieu of earn-driven
units. The holes will not be as crisp or
as deep, but at least gas exchange and
water infiltration will be improved, soil
compaction relieved somewhat, and an
opportunity to overseed created.
Specialized aeration equipment. in-
cluding deep-tine units and high-pres-
sure water injectors, may also serve a
useful niche, depending on soil condi-
tions. water quality, and other factors.
In many parts of the country, indepen-
dent contractors perfonn this type of
cultivation (14). Obviously, you will be
limited by the schedule of the con-
tractor, TIming problems and fickJe
weather conditions may warrant the
purchase of such equipment. Seek the
advice of a Green Section agronomist, '
university extension specialist, or other
consultant to detennine the best tool
for the job and to justify the purchase.
Core Harvester: A core harvester
certainly pays for itself fairly rapidly.
The crew 'also will be glad to take
another step away from the Stone Age.
Dethatching Milchines: Once again.
independent dethatching services have
gained popularity in the turfgrass arena.

Sand applications help control thatch

applicator is needed to fill holes com-
pletely following core aeration of putt-

dressing, however, a tow-behind rotary
applicator greatly facilitates this prac-
tice. Many of the best golf courses
lightly top dress putting greens on
seven- to 14-day intervals throughout
the growing season. Tow-behind rotary
applicators enable superintendents to
complete light topdressing of 18 greens

In some areas of the countlJr, fairway
topdressing is performed to improve
drainage and footing and reduce com-
paction effects. Have you ever seen

Obviousl~ a large-volume materials
handler is needed to perfonn this task
But these also are useful for many other
tasks around the golf course, including
bunker and cart path work and CO~-
post and fertilizer applications. .
Rollers: Rolling putting greens, when
conducted with moderation, ,can im-
prove playing conditiol1;8 without jeop-
ardizing the health of the twi. Rolling

provide a little more leaf area Without

tise should be considered.

SpIwuIem Four to six walk-behind
rotary fertilizer spreaders are needed
at any golf course. . 1\vo drop spreaders
(one small and one large) will also setve
a useful purpose. One large-volume
fertilizer spreader is also a necessiqr.
Utility Vehicles
Dependable transportation/work
vehicles are needed to move employees
around the course and complete tasks.
On average, four to six heavy-duty
vehicles ana three to four light.-duty
vehicles should suffice. These numbers
may need adjustments if the labor force
is large.
'ftactors and 1hJcks
The inventory should include at least
two utility tractors with PTO, one
loader with backhoe, one dwnp truck,
and at least one pickup truck.
1\fisceUaneous Equipment
Most golf courses need one or two
riding mechanical bunker rakes (even
though hand raking is preferred). One
or two sweepers, a tractor-mounted
bloweI:, a dump trailez; and a sod cutter
should be on hand Equipment includ-
ing trenchers, chippers, ~ grinders,
and augers can 'usually be rented if use
will be Ihnited. An absolute must, how-
ever, are the proper grin~ tools to
grind both reels and bedknives and a
nydraullc lift to service equipment (9).
The shop also will require a steam
cleaner, air compressors, a table saw,
and a drill press.
Small Equipment
Plan on the need for five to seven
walk-behind rotary mowers, five to
seven string trinuners, at least two
backpack blowers, two edgers, two
chain saws, a pole sa~ shovels, rakes,
picks, cup cutters, sod lmives, pitch..
forks, and any other necessary hand
tools.

Machinery hours should be tracked 10
that regular maintenance can be per-
fonned Failing to protect the equip-
ment fleet dhninishes its useful life span
substantially, resulting in significant
, additional expense to the operation.
The value of the equipment fleet and
its importance to a high quality golf
course underscore the need for 8
full..time equipment manager. Mowers
should be inspected on a daily basis
(13). Preventative maintenance sched-
ules need to be developed and followed
(1, 10). A well-designed maintenance
faclli~ with plenty of storage space and
the proper work area for the equipment
manager and technicians, is the comer-.
stone of well-run golf course mainte-
nance operations.
Finall~ operators should be thor...
oughly trained on every piece of
equipment to prevent unnecessary
wear and abuse, and they should be
able to recognize the first sign of a
. problem so that the equipment man...
ager can service the machine in a timely
manner (2,5).
Maintaining the Fleet:
The Replacement Schedule
Maintaining an efficient, dependable.
and current golf course equipment fleet
requires a thorough and committed
plan (~ 8). Without one, unwelcome
surprises and a financial crisis are sure
to arise (3). The golf course quality and
competitive status may ~er for years
as a result Although there are no exact
roles or formulas that can apply to all
equipment or sites. there are some basic
procedures and guidelines,
The golf course superintendent and
equipment manager should review
and update the status of each piece of
. equipment every year. 'This enables a
prioritization of needed items during
the budgeting process (3). Hours of
operation and the total cost of repair,
including parts and labor, should be
tracked for every equipment item.
Repair costs then can be compared to
the replacement cost and current value
of the equipment item to detennine
diminishing returns (15), Hours of
operation missed due to breakdown,
when the equipment item should have
been on the golf course, should also be
tracked to evaluate maintenance em.

While purchasing is usua1Iy the most
cost-effective approach lon8~term,
leasing is an attractive and effective
method of managing equipment for
many golf facilities (12). A shortage of
capital is a compelling reason to con...
sider a lease option. Clubs that have
fallen significantly behind in equipment
replacement may not be able to afford
to catch up, but a 1e8se could be an
option that allows them to take advan-
tage of modernization and dependa-

the lack of turnover costs when items
are due for replacement,
Any golf operation should work
closely with an accowitant to d"eter-
mine the best fit for equipment re-
placement (4). Tax advantages and dis-
advantages can be compared between
pmchasing, financing, and leasing. Golf
course superintendents should provide
details on the status of every equipment
item and also present as many options
as possible for replacement When con...
sidering models from different manu-
facturers, be sure to include all cost
factors, including the operational
statistics, maintenance requirements,
and any special benefits associated

~ .TURF CARE CENTERS:
l .The Heartbeat
of Golf Turf
Conditioning!
Like a stone thrown into a pond, course
maintenance activities originate and ripple
out from the maintenance facility.
by KEITH HAPP
GOLF COURSE maintenance
involves many different disci-
plines, from agronomy and
business management to labor relations
and equipment maintenance. While
this list is by no means all inclusive, it
does serve to illustrate the wide range
of planning, scheduling, and instruction
that takes place each day in the main-
tenance of a golf course. The many
facets of daily course preparation have
one. thing in common; each strategy,
cultural practice or management tech-
nique begins at the maintenance facility:
With the day's golf schedule and
weather patterns in mind, crew assign-
ments are posted, equipment is allo...
cated, and turf conditioning begins.
Quality conditioning does not just
happen; it is the end result of sound
agronomic principles applied in the
field by well-prepared and educated
employees. The maintenance facility,
also known as the turf care center or
maintenance building, is the hub of aU
golf course maintenance activity and is
one of the most important components
of course infrastructure. It is much
more than just a building or buildings
that house the turf maintenance equip-
ment. Golfers typically do not see the
behind-the-scenes operations at a golf
course, and the purpose of this article
is to examine the fonn, function, and
importance of an organized and well-
planned maintenance facility.
Location
As they say in real estate, you cannot
overstate the importance of "location,
location, location!" This is equally im-
portant to a golf course twi care center.
Unfortunately, many golf coUrse super-
intendents inherit their maintenance
facilities and must make the best of
what is sometimes a very bad location.
Maintenance buildings that are located
away from the golf course can pose
logistic challenges to the golf course
superintendent and maintenance oper-
ations. Maximizing the efficiency and
effectiveness of course maintenance
while minimizing golfer inconvenience
and aggravation remains paramount
However, when the building site is an
afterthought, turl care operations suffer.
CentraUy located buildings may offer
easier access to all areas of the course
for twf maintenance but may pose
obstacles for delivery trucks.. If a new
facility is to be built, this is one issue
that must be considered. ~e trucks
need to have access to the maintenance
compound without interfering with the
play of the course. The tun manage..
ment plan for the course should influ-
ence the location as well as the size of
the maintenance area. For example, if
outing play is a main source of revenue,
then the building should be positioned
to facilitate rapid completion of all
. course preparation activities.
Layout of the Facility
The maintenance facility layout can
influence the efficiency and effective-
ness of course maintenance. A well-
planned layout has a positive effect on
what can take place within the confines
of the operation. %ile the entrance to
the facility does not have to ~irror the
architecture of the clubhouse or pro-
shop area, it should represent the
operation's standards and goals. Subtle,
low-maintenance landscaping allows
the complex to fit into its surroundings
while remaining functional.
The building should have an ample
entrance area, preferably 16' to 20'
wide, with the capacity to accommo-
date large tractor-trailer deliveries.
Limited space restricts delivery options
and can increase operating costs. For
example, if only smaller trucks. can be
used to deliver sand or gravel, the cost
of acquiring a specified quantity of
product may be increased. Issues like
this can be avoided with proper plan-
ning when the facility is expanded,
repositioned, or initially constructed.
%en large trucks can maneuver easily
in and out of the facili~ economies of
scale can be achieved.
Allocating generous space for em-
ployee parking is important for an
efficient and well-organized facility.
Course employees should be able to
park their vehicles safely where they
do not block or interfere with work
activities or deliveries and where they
won't be competing for space with
course patrons or members.
The courtyard is an important stag-
ing area for daily operations. Each
morning, equipment is prepared' 4luJ

the bini to be serviced without inter-
fering with the golf cOurse maintenance
flow. The atoreao bin concept keeps
products in close proximi~ to dally
operationa, which also aids inventory
control. Product waste can be mini-
mized as distribution and allocation of
specific materials is monitored. Of
particular hnportance is the fact that
the storage bms eliminate the need to
stockpile products in parking areas at
the clubhouse, pool. or tennis court
facilities.
1l:affic flow through the maintenance
complex should afso be considered.
Establishing directional flow he~ps re-
duce the risk of accidents and disrup-
tions. Directional flow also helps estab-
lish a pattern for equipment service.
When a project or task is completed, a
standardized process for rehousing the
equipment can be put into action. For
example. some operations have em-
ployed a cleaning process that involves
both pressurized air and wate!: The first
phase of the cleaning process uses
press:uri.zed air to remove grass clip-
pings. The dry clippings then can be
collected and deposited in a compost-
ing site or dispersed over a selected area
of the course. The odor associated with
the handling and dispo~. of clipping
debris is greatly reduced when moisture
is minimized, and grease seals and
wheel or axle bearings are less apt to
experience accelerated wear. After
cleaning with air, the machine is then
exposed to a second cleaning process
using high-vQlwne, low-pressure water.
The machine is washed to remove the
remainder of the debris and clipping
residue before it is refueled and re-
turned to the storage area.
Maintenance facility designers offer
the option of installing a washdown
pad that collects all rinsate and debris.
Dave. Alexdrowicz, superintendent at
St. Clair CtC. in Pittsburgh, Pa., had
considerable input into the design of
the turf center at his course. Dave
insisted that air lines be installed in the
courtyard area to facilitate machinery
cleaning. He also installed a washdown
pad to collect the remaining debris
from mowers and other equipment
used on the course, Their contairunent
feature recycles the water used to wash
machinery: Particulates are collected
<<nd then deposited in the compost pile.
Rinse water is filtered, treated, and re-
used when the next piece of machinery
must be cleaned.
tJ
\
The wuhdown facUity ~ that
~u1pment is p~perIy cleaned before
it ia stored. lJfe expectancy of the
equipment is maximI.Zed, and equally
important is the fact that dirt, dlbrla.
and other trash are not tracked into the
maintenance building. Once the
equipment is cleaned. it is fueled and
posItioned for the mechanic to adjust
and prepare for the next use.
Maintenance BuildJng Featurel
The components of a maintenance
building include but are not limited to
the following:
· Administrative offices for the super-
intendent. assistant superintendent.
· Fertilizer Itorap room..
· Pesticide storap and containment
unit
· Heated work area for mechanic and
equipment maintenance activities.
· Unh~ equipment Itorap area.
· Hand tools storage roomIarea.
While the peaticfde and fertilizer
storage areas are components of the
tutf care center. they are often designed
and positioned as stand-alone struc-
tures. ReauIatory guidelines govern
these storage units. Environmental and
worker safety concerns must be high
priority iuues when the maintenance
facility is desIgned, renovated, updated,
or expanded.
The lunchroom serves many purposes. In Ddditlon to /unctloning 48 a break room,
this area can be used for meetings, providing instructions to the CrBf4 and posting

· Locker room/restroom fafilities for

· Parts room for the most frequently

· Grinding room to properly prepare

· Paint room with proper ventilation.
The building or building complex
should be large enough to house all of
the equipment necessary to meet agr0-
nomic and playability demands of the
golfers. UndersIZed buildings only serve
to frustrate operational efficiency and
can lead to a more frequent need to
replace equipment Expensive equip-

use. For example, it is not uncommon
to hear complaints about having to
move equipment in and out just to get
at the required machinelJ', which is
blocked in. This bogs down the flow of
maintenance procedures and hampers
the mechanic when regularly scheduled
preventive service is needed,
The maintenance building has several
things in common with the clubhouse
facili~ The clubhouse exists to meet
the needs of the golfers, while the
maintenance building exists to meet the
needs oithe course, The clubhouse can
be a valuable recruiting tool to attract
golfers, and the maintenance building
should serve a similar role. Ultimatel~
course conditioning, which is df.rectly
impacted by the maintenance facility,
is what keeps the golfers coming bac~.
When a professional atmosphere is per-
petuated, the goals of the maintenance
program can be attained and in many
cases surpassed. The environment in
which employees work is a critical part
of the work experience, and a profes-
sional work environment is a public

relations tool for employee recruiting
efforts. The environment should pro-
mote a sense of responsibility and
pride in the place of employment, and
meeting employee needs si~a1s that
their work is appreciated and will be
rewarded.
Office Space
The superintendent's and assistant
superintendent's offices should be
located away from the equipment stor..
age area to insure a quiet workspace.
There is an ever-increasing need to
,have an office with a secretary to
handle daily business and record keep-
ing, and office size should reflect this
ne,ed. Invoices must be proceSsed and
maintenance logs must be kept up to
date. Business meetings with suppliers,
for example, can be conducted in a
setting that minimizes interrup~ons.
Computers are often used for record
keeping and planning procedures, These
machines need to be stored in an
environment that does not :jeopardize
life expectancy. Dust and heat do not

mix well with computer components.
Air conditioning may be looked upon
as a luxury by some, but it serves a
valuable role with the increased use
of computers to operate irrigation sys_
tems. A computer maJfunction could
jeopardize turf health and playing
peIfonnance.
It is not uncommon to provide sepa-
rate office space for a horticu1turi~
irrigation technician, and mechanic.
The golf course mechanic, in particular,
has many duties in addition to the up-
keep of equipment. Parts must be in-
ventoried and a complete maintenance
history of each piece of equipment must
be kept. This allows repair and main-
tenance costs to be tracked, which in
turn helps to manage future capital
equipment expenditures. Machinety
can be replaced before repair costs be..
come burdensome.
Mechanic's Office and Work Area
The mechanic's area varies depend..
ing upon the scope of the equipment
used to maintain the course. A well-

equipment enhances the efficiency of
the operation. Breakdowns will occur,
and often at the worst times. With suf.

can be perfonned and, when nec~. '
unscheduled repain can be completed,
Equipment of afJ sizes should be able to
fit into the shop area. A hydraulic lift

ments can be purchased so that even
the smallest of machines can be posi-
tioned. lifted. and serviced.
Locker Room
The locker room should offer ade-
quate personal storage space for full-
time and part-time employees. The
design should provide suffiCIent space
to change clothes before work begins
and, if desired, clean up after the work-
day is complete. Locker rooms often
are placed next to or are incorporated
into male and female restrooms. The
size of the locker rooms can. vary
depending upon the crew size, but there
should be locker space for full-time,
part-time, and seasonal employees.
LunchIBreak Room
The lunchlbreak room is an essential
component of the building design and
should be a clean area, away from the
equipment storage sector of the build-
ing. Employees should be able to

A television and VCR often are fOWld
in this area of the maintenance bulldina
to facilitate training and instruction 01
new employees. Videos can be used to
provide basic instroction and Jllidance
on new procedures and the operation
of new equipment There are videos
available that detail all elementa of golf
course maintenance, including basic
language skills. Diverse crews have
diverse needs, and no need is more
important than communication.
Other educational and planning
sessions also can be conducted in this
area of the building. It is not uncom-
mon to host a Green Coinmlttee meet-
ing in the lunchlbreak room. After turf
care programs are discussed, conunittee
members can tour other areas of the
turf care center.
Fertilizer Storage
Fertilizers and pesticides should be
stored separately and housed away
from employees and maintenance
equipment This minimizes the chance
of spills or waste while inventory con-
trol is easily facilitated and safety is
maintained.
Pesticide Storage
Pesticides should be housed in a
stand-alone storage unit to minimize

some of you it may seem like

close as yesterday. As you think, visualize
this: A truckster rattling across the (air-
way with its tailgate held in 'place with .

engine shrouding, or perhaps a headlight

the cracks and tears in the mower's seat.
Maybe you see the' welding job done,'to
hold a wheel hub to its axle because
th~re are no more threads 'left 'for the

reel blades have been re-welded to the
spiders?
Be honest, look around the mainte-

at least one example similar - 'to the
imagery given above, if (or "no other

simply has not reached that part of the

Club leadership needs to realize that
operating a golf course is a business
proposition, and with it comes the
responsibility of handling the'club's
financial resources intelligently, Assum..
ing a well-conceived equipment replace-
ment prograr:n. utilizing depreciation
schedules and replacement dates can
eliminate sharp peaks in t~e club's
operating budget and stave off financially
troubling times without sacrificing turf
quality or playing conditions,
The Waccabuc Countr)' Club, in
Waccabuc, Ney,f York, ",'here Alton
Moore and Tom Craighead are Super-
intendent and Green Committee Chair..
man, respectively. recently adopted this
type of equipnlcnt purchasing program,
As it is at man\' clubs. AI and his crev-'
did an excellent job of maintaining their
equipment. J n fact.' too good of a job,
since many pieces of equipment bad
been in daily use since the J~. With
the mechanic felirina, and many parts
no lonler available, it became apparent
the club had to replace the old with new.
An inventory was taken. and a wish
Jist was compiled when it became time
to catch up with modem technolol)'.
With facts and fiaures in hand and lots
of persuasive conversation. the chair-
man and the club .Breed to . five-year
program. During this time the most
pressin, equipment needs were addressed
fint. and by the end of five years nearly
all oCthe old equipment will be replaced.
Beginning in year six. those machines
purchased during the first year that have
a five-year service life will be replaced
with funds derived from the depreciation
payments made to the escrow account.
As AI and Tom will admit. this five-
year transition into modem times repre-
sents a sizable piece of chanBc to the
membership. This was justified by com-
paring jnitiatio~ fees, member dues and
budgeted capital equipment expenses
with comparable clubs in the area. All
were found to be 10"". ) nitiation fees
were raised $3,000 and member dues a
modest $300. These increased funds
were the source used for the initial pur-
chases being made. The plan calls for
spending a little' more than 550.000 for
each of the five years, for a total of more
than S2S0,OOO. However, remember that
the machines are being depreciated out
100 percent and the club is also making
these payments to the escrov.' account.
Even though they are experiencing cer-
tain tax advantages, the five-)'ear pro-
gram is costing in excess of S500.000.
The good part is that the light is on at
the end of the five-year tunnel. At
that time, all the equipment "'ill be re-
placed, and a sufficient cash reserve in
the escrow account wilJ have accumu..
lated, so that all future equipment re..
placement can be done on time "'ith the
comforting knov.tledge that the money is
available. The situation at the Waccabuc
Countr)' Clu b was quite immense. but
the solution to the problem is one that
could easily be mimicked by any other
club currently without an effective
equi.pment replacement program,
While there are no clear-cut \\'a\'s to
solve the equipment replacement prob-
lem. it is good to kno\\' we have choices
available. The keys are to match the
rig~t equipment for the job. prepare a
replacement schedule. develop a finan-
cially responsible attitude to the prob-
lem. and remember, it dorsn', last
forever.

~, 'E;4I~WAY TO
THE FUTURE
Course renovation does not always have to be painfuL
by BO LINKS
TIu SAY you want a revolution?
Bver been in a feisty mood,
ready to rob your hands together
and stir up some mischief? Not just a
little bit of mischief, mind you, but
real trouble, as in Big T, which rhYD.1es
with C, which stands for controverSy?
The recipe is relatively simple, and
when properly followed, it can ignite a
civil war, pit family against famify and,
if tI$gs really get cooking, probably
sever a few long-standing friendships.
Here's what you do: Step 1 - Attend
your club's annual meeting. Step 2'-
Rise to make a motion. Step 3 - Move
that the golf course be remodeled.
Don't worry about whether the
motion passes. The debate alone will
do enough damage to satisfy the stern-
est shrapnel-tested combat veteran.
Why IS this so? Because club mem-
bers hold their home course as close to
their hearts as one of their children.
And just as with a wayward child, the
average member will leap at the chance
to take a little corrective action if given
the right opportunity. The problem is
th~t, oftentimes, club members' can-
not - and do not - agree on what
needs to,-,be done. Hence the 'debate,
the. controversy, the civil war.
It doesn't have to be that way. A host
of good things can flow from a properly
conceived and well-executed remodel-
ing job. For openers, how about greens
that drain conect1y and are playable the
day after it heavy rainfall? Or bunkers
that hav~ consistent, playable sand?
Or approach shots that are properly
framed, inviting players of all abilities to
test their skill? Or tees that are level
and pointed'in-the right direction? You
can.have all of this and more. The only
trick is securing membership approval
'and then getting the job done right.
The "issues relating to course re-
modeling are as many as they are
complex. We've all heard the hOlTor
stories as well as the grumbling that
accompanies them.
"They said it would take nine
months, but it took two years and

"Why did you install that. bunker?"
"Why did you remove that bunker?"
"Why did you make such a mess?"
"Why did it cost so much?". .
Heard enough? Well, relaX. These
are the easy questions, folks.
Although we do hear horror stories
and we must often confront hard
inquiries, we don't hear enough about
the jobs that go well. You kno~ those
beUeve...it-or-not tales of COnstruction
jobs that come in on budget and
ahead of schedule. Yes, it has hap-
pened. And it can happen to you if
you approach the issue properly and
prepare accordingly.
At Lake Merced Golf and CoWltry
. Club in Daly Ci~, California, a com-
plete remodelihg job was aqct>mplished
without a hitch, with far more accom...
plished than even the most rabid
backers of the project could have
~ed. -
The actual construction at Lake
Merced took approximately 90 days.
. The financial package was such that
every member could afford the assess-
ment. And in the end, a good golf
course was transfonned into a truly
extraordinary one. By the time the
project was two-thirds finlshed, even
those members who had voted ~
doing the work had come on board as
enthusiastic supporte~l - ,
Doing the Job Right
But all of this begs the most impor-
tant issue. How do you get this accom-
plished? To begin with (and to quote
those athletic wear ads), get real. Lake
Merced was not remodeled'on a whim.
This wasn't the case of a member or
small cadre of players wanting to
change the course to suit their own
agenda. Quite to the contrary, Lake
Merced's remodeling grew out of a
serious deterioration of putting green
root structure and poor drainage in and
around the green complexes. Once the
club investigated the problem and
(
~ '.
decided to correct it, knowledgeable
members soon realized that the econo-
mies of scale dictated that they take
advantage of a unique opportUnity to
repair other problems that. while not
as serious as the condition of the root
structure and ~e, had long cried
out for amelioration. In short, the club
confronted an agronomic crisis and
chose to solve it in comprehensive
fashion. And they did it within budget.
And on time.
The fonnula used at Lake Merced is
a textbook example of how to do the
job right In revie~ the history of
the remodeling at Lake Merced, we can
learn several rules that should guide
any golf course confronting similar
problems or contemplating similar
work.
Analysis Instead of Paralysis
One point to be made at the outset is
that many good to great courses - and
many average ones, too - have seRous
agronomic problems. Not because
there is anything inherently wrong
with the 1a~out or because there has
been any failure of petfonnance by the
maintenance crew. The plain and
simple fact is that golf courses change
over time. Every day there is growth
and death; trees die, roots impede
nearby putting greens, limbs fall. fungus
spreads, old soil compacts. Let's face
it, nothing is forever, and even golf
courses need some corrective surgery
now and then. So rule one is, al\ll8ys be
aware of the agronomic profile of your
golf course. There are several ways to
do this, but perhaps the most ec0-
nomical and efficient is to take advan.

Service (commonly known as TAS).
Under this program, USGA agrono-
mists visit your course and advise you
as to the status and needs of the play-

It verified what. J had been sa}~n8 for

Lou Tonelli. "We had a 'black layer'
beneath the surface. None of our mem.
bers could see it and many of them
thought everything was fine because \\~e
were able to limp along and produce
good putting surfaces through the uSt-
of appropriate fertilize-rs and an a\\1'ul

had become drug addicrs and rhey

What caused the problem? "Our

but it had (0 be rebuilt in the mid.. '60s.-.
states ToneJJi. "The work had to be

continues ToneJJi. "We had stagnant

Once the condition o{the greens had
been diagnosed and the e\;dence was
coJJected, the neX1 task was [0 educate
club officials as to the seriousness or
the problem. Thar process took about
two years. Lake Merced's Greens &
Grounds Committee learned whar was
needed and began passing its kno\a.'I..
edge to the full Board of Direcrors and
other members as well.
Within five years of the problem t1rsl

Economies of Scale
As the plan took shape, it originaJ)~
consisted of remodeling all 18 green:
and' every bunker on the golf course
Although first consideration was giveli
to dividing the work and doing sb
holes at a time, the club quickly Opted
to take the plunge and do everythinj
at once. "We wanted unifonn puttilli
greens," stressed Dr. Goode. '7he onl~
way to ensure that was to do them all
at once."
Soon the club realized something
else. It was possible to incorporate
several additional jobs into the pro-
gram at marginal cost. For example; a
decision was made to regrade aU tee
complexes and elevate the majority of
iliem for better visib.i1ity, In addition,
several improvements were made to the
irrigation system. including installation
of computer controls for individual
sprinkler heads, and the installation of
special sprinkler heads around the
greens to ensure proper watering. '.If
we had done this work separately."
remarked Dr. Goode, Hit 'would have
cost us ten times what we ended up

spending and we would have had to
rip up our golf course again to do it. In
essence. we got three jobs in one."
How long did it take? At Lake
Merced. the first cut of din was made
on August 6, 1996. The last cut was
made on November 24. just before
Thanksgiving. That's 110 days. but the
total requires a bit of analysis. The
original goal of new greens and bunkers
took only 78 days to complete. The
extra time was allotted to the complete
regrading of four faiIVIays, the recon-
struction of all 18 tee boxes (four sets
of tees for each hole), and miscel-
laneous work on the irrigation system.
The bottom line is that the membership
got a new facility in about three..and-a-
half months.
There was some rain toward the
end of the job that resulted in a week
of cleanup work, HThe job was com-
pleted before the rainy season," says Dr.
Goode. "and the most compelling
apsect of the onset of winter was that
our new greens were bone dry the day
after getting hit with an awful lot of
water." By the time winter had actually
come to the Bay Areal the seeded areas
were covered with new growth and had
roots in place to prevent a washout,
and sodded areas were well on their
way to knitting together. Because of
improved drainagel there was no
standing water on any of the greens or
in any of the bunkers.
UWe cored some of our new greens
30 days after seeding, JI beamed Super-
intendent TonellL Hand we could see a
four-inch root structure. That means
that in the first month we got roots
that \A'ere eight times deeper than our
old greens that had been there for 30
years. I t was the best validation we
could have hoped for."
In order to maintain the highest..
quality putting surfaces. the club will
require players to wear spikeless golf
shoes. UThe spikeless alternative is the
future," says Goode, "Those of us who
have tried them know they provide
enough traction, and at the same time
allow us to have greens without spike
marks. By taking this step, we also can
open our course at the earliest possible
date and know that we're not tearing
up the course which took so many
talented hands to build, tI
Watching the New Course

One thing that impressed the entire
membership was how fast the grass
grew. HMany of us had no idea how
quickly the seed genninates." says Club
Professional Jay McDaniel. "We seeded

we could have been putting on it a

IMAGINE LIVING day to day with little regard tor
what may happen tomorrow, next year, or five
years'rom now - a bleak existence. probably, with
few alternatives to meet emergencies and no provl-
.. lions made for maintaining your lifestyle.
Actually, however. we aU Itrlve to reach some
goal. Can we say the same about golf clubs? It
would probably be safe to lay that most golf clObs
do not have a satisfactory written plan or pOlicy
for running of the course and club. Very te.w suc-
cessful businesses are developed or maintained
without a complete long-range plan. Why should a
club, with many employees and a "gnlflcant bud-
get, be different?
The plan should do much more than deal with
capital Improvements, although thl. aspect Is cer-
tainly Important. It should Include eqUipment
acquisition and replacement, architectural changes
and specific plans for maintaining each area of the
golf course. Even th~ugh the course may be In
perfect shape, a written policy that outlines the
suocessful operations of the program and which
provides for future changes Is necessary for con..
tlnulty .

THE PROBLEMS
There are many gOOd reasons tor developing a
long-range plan. Consider the following problema
which could occur unless provision. are made for
dealing with them.
SlUing 8t1ndlrdl
Perhaps the foremost problem II having members
who agree .bout what kind of golf course they want
and can afford. They give the luperlntendent hardly
any direction for building a maintenance and deveJ-
opme'1t pr6gram, and yet. when thIngs go wrong
the complaints roll In. This otten relults In unneces-
aary oonfllcta between t~ superintendent and the
green committee which may ultimately cause the
superintendent to lose Interest. On the other hand,
the average committee member has very little
knowledge of what should be done to the course In
terms of maintenance. He doesn't understand why
things are done or what happens when problems,
occur. It I. easy to see how frustration and conflict
develop during dlffloult times as the member., by
nature, begin to believe that the superintendent

thll nature can be avoided with a long-range pro-
gram Which Includes changes based on the advice
of a golf course architect. with varlatJona possible
only upon the approval ot the committee andlor
architect.
Change. In the O....n Commltt"
Many clubJ have a polley that limits the green com-
mittee chairman to a brief term In office, u.ually
two yea.... He then leaves the commlttQ. AI the
new chairman take. office. he usually hat little Idea
of what 'I Involved In the total maintenance opera-
tion or what should be "ex'Pecled "from the -golf
course superintendent. By the time he learns It Js
time to leave office. and the next tellow has to learn
it all from scratch. This Is difficult lor both the
superintendent and the green commIttee chairman.
On the other hand, the green committee chair-
man Is responsible to the membership and there-
fore must be In frequent contact with the superIn-
tendent on course operations. Sftice usually he has
no training In golf Course management, friction
may develop between him and the superintendent.

many lOurcel. The plan mUlt represent the wlshe.

'Vlnou. clubs have different procedures for
formulating the long-range plan. Often the super-
Intendent and the green committee will work
together, with the superintendent providing techni-
cal Information and forming the basic' plan based
on desires and goals of the committee. Other clubs
have .. 'ong.-range planning committee, .separate
from the green committee. This L.R.P. committee
may be' more pracUcal at clubs with 8 variety of
activities, such 8S golf, swimming, tennis and plat-
form tennis, where a long-range plan would Include
aU theM activities and the green committee would
have only limned Input.

THE PURPOSES OF A LONG-RANGE PLAN
(A) To Improve the physical facilities of the
golf course In an orderly manner In order to make
It more beautiful, functional. - Interesting and
efficient.
(8) To promote the Interests of the entire mem-
bership rather than of 8 ~w rncnvlaD-a1s...or. special
groups within the club.
(C) To effect coordination and improve com-
munications with regard to course development
and maintenance, so as to avoid conflict, duplica-
tion and waste.
(0) To ensure that ahort-range actions are con-
sidered In the context of long-range goals.
(E) To bring prOfessional and technical knowl-
edge to bear on the decIsion. ~sed on the wishes
of the members. The profenlonals may be the

WHO IS RESPONSIBI:.E FOR
DEVELOPING A PLAN?
The responsibility for Initiating and developing
the plan may fall to the luperlntendent, green
committee chairman, president. manager, goff
professional or someone else In authority. Because
the superintendent makes his living through the
club and has perhaps the moat to gain, he should

area and consider alternative lolutlonl to the prob-
lema as you go along. For .xample. ffthe area over
the Irrigation line on the 12th tee fs sunken and
may be corrected by removing the sod, adding top-
loll and replacing the sod 10 that It conforms to
the remaInder of the tee. Frequent topdresalng
would alia resolve the probl.m but would take
longer to complete."
The re.ponalbUlty for the analysis phase should
be shared by the superintendent and the commit-
tee, with the superintendent carrying the heavier
load.
Dlvelop The Pllln
Based on your analysis of every phase of the golf
course or club operation. the long-range plan
should be developed. Specific plans for each proJ-
ect should be completed, ,'ong with comprehen-
sive cost estimates and time schedules for their
completion. An overall timetable for capital 1m-

bers or others as the need arises.
Implement The Plan
The Implementation phase simply involves follow-

Regarding capital Improvement work, details
should be completed accordlng to the time sched-
ule, Including the flnaJizaUon of drawings. speci-
fications. bids, etc. The declalon.. to who will do
the work is agaJn worth mentioning. Often the
superintendent and his crew will be given the re-
sponsibility for such capJtallmprovement woric as
building greens, tees. bunkert, brkfg... Installing
cart paths, Irrigation system.. etc. Too often they
.... expected to maintain the gQlf COUrse in top
condition and work on these projecta at the same
time. with no increase In the size of the crew. What
often happen, is .that the appearance and p'ay-
,abUity of the golf course auffel'l. and the projects
are {lOt completed on IChed u Ie. This situation
works out poorly for everyone Involved, and so
provisions must be made to Increase the atze of the

· ~S'o, You Want To Renovate
Your Golf Course?

r I
There are hundreds of ways for course renovation programs to go awry.
Here are a few tips to make your project a success.
by DAVID A. OATIS
A smaU tee with poor traffic flow u good reason to renovate!
MOST golf course superinten-
dents eventually face course
improvement projects of one
type o~ another at some point in their
careers. The proposal might be to re-.
build a green or a tee or a bunker, or
, perhaps to add or expand a water
feature. Regardless of the project, it is
important to first examine the course in
its entirety and to identify its strengths
and weaknesses before proceeding.
Course improvement projects tend' to
have a domino effect, and a project that
improves one area of the course can
easily cause problems in other areas.
Projects often require considerable
expense to complete and they can have
a major impact on how the course
I
looks and plays, and on the mainte-
nance budget as well. Course improve-
.ment projects should be undertaken
only after careful thought and much
planning. Unfortunately, :many reno-
vation projects turn out poorly due to
insufficient planning and preparatio~,
poor design, or poor, execution. The
purpose of this article is to identify
some of the common mistakes associ..
ated with course improvement'projects
and to provide concrete suggestions for
avoiding them4
DEVELOPING TIlE PLAN
Defini~g the Objective
The. first step is to define what you
wish to accomplish throqgh a renova..
I
tion or course improvement project.
Monuments to individuals or commit-
tees should be avoided like the plague.
Frequently, projects that have been
observed at other courses are sug-
gested, but this amounts to little more
than keeping up with the Joneses.
Proposals should have a specific goal
in order to avoid making change for the
sake of making change. The goals may
be to improve aesthetics or definition.
You may want the course to play harder
or easier, or perhaps more fairly or
more safel~ There may be some con-
tusion as to what the course needs,
and it is quite possible that your ideas
are inappropriate for your golf course
or finanCially not feasible.

~ Your Coune
~ Il is vital to research your own course
as fuoroughIy as possible so that you
are in possession of all of the facts when
it comes time to decide on plans and
projects, In the case of oldr classic 8.( olf
courses, it must be detennined whether
renovation or restoration is most
appropriate. Too often, fine old designs
have been mined through well-inten..
tioned but thoughtless renovation. A
distinction must be made between
good old architecture and bad, and
time and research are required to make
an infonned decision. Much infonna-
tion can be obtained from goH course
arc~tects, but it is also wj.se to do your
own independent research. You might
just discover exciting new infonnation
~ the origin of your course!
The attic is a great place to start
looking for old records, pictures, plans,
and documents that could provide
clues to the history of the course. It may
take weeks to thoroughly examine all of
the old files, and you never know what
you might find. Aerial photos from the
early days of the golf course can pro-
vide invaluable evidence. Aerial photos
dating back to the '205 and '305 exist
for many areas of the United States, so
check with county and local munici-
palities, planning/engineering depart-
ments, horaries, etc., to see if they
can be located. Also, be sure to check
with the National Archives, Records
Administration, Cartographic Branch,
8601 Adelphi Road, College. Park, MD
20 72Q..6()()1. Many old photographs
exist in the USGA Golf House Musewn,
so be sure to give that a try, too. Other
methods of researching your course
include interviewing longtime 'mem-
bers and fonner staff regarding the
history of the golf course.
A soil probe and perhaps even a
shovel are some of the most important
investigative tools available. Probing
and digging in and around greens and
bunkers. can provide insight as to
what has occurred over time. Through
edging, mechanical raking, and wind
and water erosion, bunkers generally
tend to get larger. Sand blown and
blasted out of bunkers overmanyyears
can completely change bunker mound-
ing and even putting green contours.
In some cases the changes can be so

turf problems.
Special care should be taken to dis-
regard the current mowing patterns,

(
since these can change dramatically
over. time. In.. general. putting greens
usually shrink in size and become
more rounded. U the gr(!ens at your
course are oval or circular h:t shape,
there is a better than average charice
that the mowing patterns have been
altered over the years. Examining
topography and comparing putting
green soil profiles to those from the
green surrounds can help detennine
the original putting green shapes.
The amount of usable teeing area
often decreases as a result of trees and
vegetation encroa~ along the line
of play, and often this can be coJTeCted
more easily tlu"ough tree and bmsh
removal than reconstruction, Mowing
patterns on tees also cari <;hange over
time, and expansion sometimes can be
accomplished easily through adjust-
ments m mowing patterns.
In the last 10 to 15 years, fairway
acreage has intentionally Jjeen reduced
at many courses to facilitate lightweight,
mowing programs. Years ago, fahWay
acreage commonly ranged from 40
to 50 acres, while today they more
typically range from 23 to 28 acres. If
the reduction is not done properly,
prime landing areas may be lost, and
aligmnent and playability may suffer.
Since many older courses were de-
signed without faitway inigation, the
increased roll prompted architects to
place bunkers further from the center
point of the fairways. With the addition
of irrigation and improved turfgrass

need to be repositioned, and/or fair-
ways may require reconto~ and

can be improved by adj~ mowing

Selection of Architects
and Contractors
Choosing the right golf course archi-
tect and contractor for fOur course and
project is extremely unp 0 rtant, and
time and research are required to do it
properly. The most important advice
is to thoroughly check the references
of all potential candidates. Be sure to
speak with the golf course superinten-
dent, green chainnan, and other course
officials at courses where the prospec-
tive architects and contractors have
worked. Obtain a variety of perspec-
tives and ask tough, direct questions
such as: 'Would you hire them again?
Were the promises made delivered on?
Was the work completed on time and
on budget; if not, who was to blame?"
Delays are common and not neces-
sariJy the fault of the architect or con..
tractor, but this is something to check.
Be sure to ask how much the archi-
. teet was on site during the project and
whether he/she was accessible when
not on site. It is imperative to visit the
courses where the candidates have
worked so their results can be observed
firsthand. In the case of renovation,
decide whether the work blends in well
with the rest of the course, basing YOlU*
judgements on the stated desires of the
respective course committees. Deter-
mine whether the renovated areas
require additional labor for mainte-
, nance. In the case of restoration, com-
p8re the work to old photographs and
maps.
IMPLEMENTAnON
The p~ process can be very
exciting and It is easy to become
enamored with _~diose proposals,
but this is something to be especially
y;ary of. The infrastnicture of the entire
facility must be carefully considered
before deciding how quickly to imple-
ment the program Tho often the money
needed for a new maintenance facility.
equipment replacement, or inigation or
draiIiage systems is used to finance the
renovation program, and this can have
disastrous and long-tenn effects on the
financial state of the course.
In the case of multi-year programs, it
is usually advisable to be2ii1 the imple-
mentation phase slowfy to aid in
golfer acceptance. ('Don't bite off more
than you can chew" is sound advice.
SimilarI~ choose the easiest and least
controversial projects for the initial
phase in order to get the clientele
excited about the program and to
gamer their sueport. Success breeds
success, and a failure in the initial phase
can compromise future projects.
In cases where the plan is not con-
troversial and the need for the work is
well understood, the best course of
action often is to implement the plan
more quickly. Bittng the bullet and
perfo~g the work in one or two
phases causes more disruption in the
short tenn, but far less in the long
tenn. It is best to peIfonn all putting
green construction and/or regrassing
work in the same season so that all of
the new twf is at the same stage.
Building or regrassing greens piece-
meal complicates the maintenance
program because different sets of
greens are at different stages of devel..
opment and require different main-
tenance programs. This also causes
greater inconsistencies in playability.

Not Knowing What You Have
to Start With
This problem can be prevented by. .
doin~ extensive research and getting
opinIons. from a variety of sources.
Much can be learned throllgh inter-
viewing golf course architects, but it is
also worthwhile to discuss the various
issues with your Green Section agrono-
mist. Seek out and visit other courses
designed by the original architect pf
your own course. Also, be sure to con...
suIt with other superintendents and
course officials whq have undertaken
projects similar to the one you are
considering.
n,ring to Be Something You Are Not
Every springt Green Section agrono-
mists meet course officiala who want
to plant azaleas and rhododendrons
sl? ~ey can be just Uks Augusta.
S1mllarl~ I have visited several courses
whose natural features happened to
be natural rock outcroppingS, yet the
course officials Wanted to remove or
cover them up. Conversely, some
courses in the southwest have actually
constructed rocks and waterfalls from
fiberglass and concrete! The point is,
each course must be allowed to
develop its own character. 'fryinJz to
imitate other courses rarely works well.
More often than not, imitators come off
looking like cheap imitations. No two
courses are alike, nor should they be.
Mixing in 100 Many Materials
and Design Themes
'free plantings on links golf courses
are simply not appropriate. There are
countless bunker designs and styles,
but including many varying styles on
the same course, and especially on the
same hole, would be considered in-
appropriate by most knowledgeable
golfers. Similarly, the features for each
hole and course must be appropriate
for that geographic region. Exposed,
high-sand faces on a windy site can
lead to more sand being blown out of
the bunkers, with the ultimate results
being playability problems and in-
creased maintenance costs.
Some consistency in desif.'l is also
s~estedt For instance, rectilinear tee
shapes should not be mixed with free-
fann amoeba-like shapes. When reno-
vating a portion of the golf course, the
work should blend in with the re-
maining features and not look out of
character. Thking the concept one step
furthe~ be sure not to include too
many differept hardscape materials in
the landscape. It is best to choose a
few materials and use them throughout
the course for the sake of consistency.
For instance, choose one type of sign-
age, curbing, cart path material, steps,
etc., and try to cany it through the
entire course. At all costs, avoid in-
cluding too many different types,
colors, and textures of materials be-
cause they d.istract the golfers and
draw unwanted attention.
Failure to Plan (Ahead)
Just as the title implies, poor or in.
adequate planning is the root cause of
',J
Sloppy construction - even the best contractor can have a bad day!
Furthermore, putting green construc-
tion work tends to be more contro-
versial in nature and few courses ever
complete a putting green reconstruc-
tion project on a piecemeal basis.
Generall~ it is far more economi~l to
do all putting green construction work
at the same time.
CLASSIC MISTAKEs
Certain mistakes seem to be repeated
consistently and deserve special men-
tion. The following are some of the
most common:

for disaster. Educating the golfers re-
I garding the need for the project and
the ratIonale behind the decisions be-
ing made is essential. They deserle to
be kept infonned, JI1d open fonuns
with question-and~ periods are
good means of a~mp~ this.
Research is required to identi(v the
most appropriate grasses and materials
for tee or green construction, but this
is -sometimes overlooked due to time
constraints. Superintendents sometimes
are forced to rely on old test data from
another project at a different course.
Also, consider individual motives When
evaluating agronomic advice. If the
materials and grasses chosen don't
work well, it could mean your job!
The scope of the work must be
clearly stated, and areas of respon-
sibility for the staff and outside con-
tractors must be established and com-
municated in no uncertain tenns.
Rushing into a construction project
without doing your homework can
result in disastrous consequences.
Lack of Continuity in LeadenbJp
Renovation projects and mainte-
nance programs often suffer due to
. rapid turnover of committee members.
Alister Mackenzie put it accurately in
(
his book The Spirit of St. Andrews
when he wrote: .'The hfatory of molt
golf clubs is that a committee is
appointed, they ~e mistakes, and
just as they are !>eginning to learn by
these mistakes they resJIn office and
are ~placed by othen Who make still
greater mistakes, and so It goes on. II
Reconstruction of 1eeI and Greelll
for the Wrong R~DI
More than 'one course has rebuilt
the same green or tee multiple times,
only to experience equally ~r per_
fonnance with each new versiOIL The
problem often is more related to the
grass-growing environment the green
or tee occup[es than to the method of
construction that was actually used.
A favorite adage is that "even good
construction cannot compensate for a
poor grass-growing environment."
Thus, if you are considering recon-
struction of a green or tee beCause of
poor turf perfonnance, be certain to
carefully identify the conect reasons for
the problems before em.ba.rIdna on a
reconstruction project. AbOve an, con-
sider the srass-growing environment,
and make improverpents there before
getting out the heavy equipment. 1lees

and air clrcu1ation should be removed
before considering reconstruction. In

Poor Performance of New Green
There are ~ reasons for p
pe1fonnance of new greens, but J
haps the most common is unreali
golfer expectations. New greens ~l

greens almost always play differen

usually require a very different maJ

reconstruction of a few greens on '
old course . generally is best left as
last resort.
New green designs should ]
checked carefully to insure that ad

Insufficien,t Tee Space
- The following rule of thwnb provide
a simple and' effective means of jus
how large tees should be: uOne hun,
. <Ired square feet of usable teeing are<
is ne~ for every 1.000 rounds OJ
golf p~yed annually for par 48 and
pm; 5s. Double this figure for par 3s1
the first and 10th tees, and any other
holes from which irons are regularly
struck. U It should be noted that the
I t Ii ('
,~ ~:baclc two club-lengths, approximately
,1' ~ne' club ~ in the front and on
~ the sides of the tee should not be con-
iideftA usable for the sake of the
fonnula. Areas blocked by vegetation
also fall into the unwdbls category. .
What the rule of thumb does not
indicate is how the ~ area should
be divided between forward, regular,
and championship tees. This must be
determined for each individual'course,
based on golfer tendencies. However,
the forward tees generally should be the
smallest since they usually receive the
least amoWlt of. wear. C~plonahip
tees at some courses receive little p~J
and it is generally the regular tees that
should have the greatest amount of
teeing area
The multiple tee. concept is quite
popular and can add interest and,
fleXIbility to course setup. However,
each additional tee increases the per_
centage of Wlusable tee~ area, -and
- this can elevate the cost of maintenance
drarnittically: It is not WlcoI11lllon to
see four to fiv~ or more different tee$.
for a given hole, but if they are small,
the percentage of usable area actually
may be quite low.
Poor Performance of New Bunkers
Bunker sand selection is of critical
importance, and too often the choice is
made based more on color than actual
performance. There are no clearly
defined specifications for bunker sand
because choice is extremely subjective.
Bunker sand perfonnance is lmgely
dependent on the shape of the particles
aJid: the size range of the particles
included in the sand. The best method
of sel~ bunker sand is to install
several sands side-by-side in a bunker
a year or more before the project
begins, This type of comparative study
gives the golfers the opportunity to
make the choice. .
Shortcuts during reconstruction
often result in major problems, and this
is especially true with bunkers. A
favorite trick is to not remove the
e~ sand but simply to blend. it
with the SUITOunding soil and use the
mixture to reshape the mOWlding. This
practice generally produces a droughty, ..
inconsistent soil with poor structure
that is incapable of supporting h~thy
turfgniss. Another common problem
is failure to provide supplemental irri-
gation for the bunkers' banks. The
turf~ sUlTOunding the ~ens typi-
cally 15 longer and 'has a higher water

tems, the banks often receive less.
Supplemental irrUtation systems de-
sJgned to water die bankS puiepen_
dently of the greens will cure the
problem.
Failure to Make Adequate
Allowances for 1iaffic
At most courses, traffic' ~ one of
the, most difficult problems 'superin.
tendents deal with, and traffic problems
are often created by poor design. 1iaffic
problems are especially common on
older courses shice most were never
designed f?r the level of play they cur-
~ receIve.
There are ~ different WB)'I to deal
effectfve1y with traffic, and the follow. .
ing involve a few deqn conslderatlons:

dons in htgh-traffiC areas. 1rees, shrubs,
moun~ bunkers, etc., fwmeJ traffic

this can result in impossible-to-manage
wear problems, It Is best to. keep the
walk-on/walk-off areas around greens
and tees as wide and as free of obstruc-
tions ~ possible.
2. The same conunents can be made
for 'the entrances and exits r of cart
pa~; Creating as many points as pos-
sible for carts to enter and exit paths Is
critical for spread)ng wear. . .
.3. Make sure that adequate surtace
dr$age exists in all new.green designs,
and tliat the main areas of swUlce
drainage are not also the highest traffic
areas.
Remember, it doesn't matter how
innovative or unique a design feature is;
it won't play well if the ~ cmtt be
maintaiited successfully.
CONCLUSION
In this age of heightened environ-
mental awareness, 'we must be espe_
cially careful not to build environ-

How to Have a Heavenly Municipal Golf Course!
Taking out the politics can lead to a better public golf facility..
by PATRICK M. 'O'BRIEN
UMunicipal golf is one of this country's
least appreciated sports traditions.
Instead of lavishing praise for the
latest and greatest upscale private club,
we ought to think more about afford-
able access to quality courses near
where many people actually live." -
Bradley S. Klein, Editor, Golfweek's
Superintendent News.
MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSES
have qeen filling the need for
. affordable golf in the United
States for more than 100 years. Toda~
21 million of an estimated 26.5 million
golfers in the United States play their
golf on public-access courses. The
demand for green fees 'under $40 at
municipal courses is staggering.
Unfortunatell', a crisis exists today
at many'municipaI golf courses. Poor
management and local politics have
resulted in unacceptable playing con-
ditions. Excess golf revenues are being
diverted to other recreational activities
or into the pockets of management
companies. ' , , ,
Despite these problems, most mu-
nicipal golf courses will continue to
offer good, qualiW' at . fair prices. This
article reviews the most common,mis~',
takes made and. examines four' cas'e '
studies of municipal golf courses that
have turned things around. Fina1J}r, a list
of suggestions is provided to help any
~unicipal course get on, the road
to success.

f6,e HistorY of Municipal Golf
Van Cort1~dt Park in the Bronx,
N.Y:, was built in 1895 and is the oldest
municipal.,golf course' in the, United
States. Thousands of municipal cOurses
have been built since then, .and-they
have provided millions of men, women,
and children of all backgrounds with a
place to learn the game.. Histori~
m~cipa1 golf courses were 'operated
MARCH/APRIL 2001 1
:-
by local parks and recreationaJ depart..
ments along with other field sport
fQcilitiesl swimming pools, tennis
courts, and area parks. These facilities,
including golf courses, were viewed
as recreational centers for the local
citizens and were supported by tax
dollars.
As golf increased in popularity in
the 19805 and 1990s, revenues at golf
Courses boomed. Local politicians be-
gan to view their courses as a source of
revenue to fund other local recreationaJ
programs and facilities. At the same
time, politicians bowed to public
pressure and reduced fees through the
establishment of under-priced annual
passes for local residents. Municipal
golf courses were directed to operate as
businesses, but they were not allowed
to use their profits for course improve-
ments, nor could they set fees that were
commensurate \\lith the service they
were providing. When this occurred,
Course conditions frequently began to
spiral downward rapidly.
When a course hits bOttoill1 the first
attempt by local officials at upgrading
often is to hire a, professional manage-
ment company to manage the entire
golf course and to minimize the politics.
Surveys taken prior to 1995 by the
Reason Public Policy Institute indi-
cate this trend. The number of pri-
vately managed government courses
increased 670/0 from 1987 to 1995,
with approximately 250/0 of all ci ties
employing a management company.
However, the latest trend is away
from management companies and
toward operation of the courses as a
municipal enterprise fund. An enter..
prise fund is a process of funding the
golf course or other municipal service
solely through the revenues it generates
and without the benefit of taxpayer
support. Quasi-independent golf course
advisory boards are often established,
and they control accounts funded by
golf course revenues. Cities are finding
out that they can create more efficient,
better-maintained courses with fewer
political disputes when using the enter-
prise fund model. Here are a few real-
life exan1ples of successful municipal
golf courses:
Municipal Enterprise Fund
Case Studies
#1 Cottonwood Creek Golf Course
(Texas)
The Cottonwood Creek Golf Course
in Waco, Texas, was built in the middle
19808 by the city and immediately was
leased to a management company.
2 USGA GREEN SECTION RECORD
Public golfers are becoming more
demanding of better golf course
conditions at municipal facilities.
Over the last few years of the lease. the
number of rounds of golf had shrunk
from 40,000 to the mid-20s as the
reputation of the facility diminished in
the community due to poor manageM
ment. The city decided to take over the
facility again and fonned the Cotton~
wood Creek Citizens Advisory Board.
Each Waco city council person ap.
pointed two members to this inde-
pendent board. A total of 12 persons
serve twq-year appointments, with six
appointments made each year. The
Board is composed of all social and
economic classes, and both public and
private golfers. The perspectives and
input from this diverse group have been
invaJuable_ Board meetings are held
monthly, usually over lunch, and
generally last 90 minutes. Agenda items
are discussed and recommendations
made to the staff and city council on
all aspects of the golf facility.
The Advisory Board took a pro.
active role and made a detennination
to reestablish Cottonwood Creek Golf
Course as the premier municipal facility
in central Texas. The Advisory Board's
goal was to set the standard in central
Texas for high quaIi ty, affordable golf. A
mission statement was adopted that
reads, "To provide a high quality and
affordable golfing experience for central
Texas golfers and a golfing facility that
provides enjoyment and challenge for
golfers of all skill levels," according to
Michael Copp, Advisory Board Chair..
man. The Board then identified and
prioritized areas of need and developed
a five-year strategic plan to accomplish
this mission. The areas of concern in
\ ~ ,t.:t-,
order of priority were: (1) reconstruc-
tion of all putting greens, (2) installation
of concrete cart paths throughout all
18 holes, (3) renovation of all bunkers,
(4) new maintenance equipment acqui-
sition. (5) update and improve the
irrigation system, (6) tree planting
and entrance beautification, and (7)
new perimeter fencing in select areas4
The putting green renovation and
reconstruction was completed within
months. Cart paths have been installed
on the front nine holes, and the back
nine holes are nearing completion.
Some trees were removed and in other
areas new trees were planted. A beauti-
ful new entrance gate and landscaping
were put in place. Course maintenance
personnel have begun bunker renova-
tion, with several of the bunkers already
completed. The irrigation system is
next in line to be addressed.
The General Manager at Cotton-
wood Creek Golf Course, a city
employee in the Deparbnent of Parks
and Recreation, is responsible for the
budget All revenues from the golf
course are reallocated back into the
facility. The city has been providing
temporary subsidies due to the major
capital expenditures needed to rejuve-
nate the course4 The annual operational
statements are brought to the Advisory
Board for recommendations. The City
Council ultimately approves the final
budget and capital expenditures and
generally approves the recommen-
dations of the Advisory Board.
The changes in conditions have
made a dramatic turnaround4 In less
than two years time, the number of
rounds of golf has increased again to
over 43,000, with a continuing steady
monthly increase trend.
#2 Chicopee Woods Golf Course
(Georgia)
Hall County is a major metropolitan
area northeast of Atlanta, Georgia. An
18-hole golf course was built in 1991
on land given to the county by the
Johnson & Jalmson Company. Over
the past 10 years, the golf course has
operated with no taX dollars under the
jwisdiction of the Chicopee Woods
Parks Commission, a subdivision of the
State of Georgia. A Green Committee
set up by the Parks Commission acts as
the governing board that establishes
fees, rules, and regulations for the golf
course. A charter (fable 1) provides the
basic philosophies that the Green Com-
mittee carries out. Chicopee Woods is
well known in the Atlanta area for its
,affordable green fees and quality turf
(
conditions, and it attracts over 45,000
rounds of golf annually.
The key to the success of this golf
facility has been the governing struc-
ture under the direction of the Green
Committee. All revenue from the golf
course, including green fees, cart fees,
and driving range fees, is deposited into
a reserve aCcolUlt An income and
expense balance sheet for the 2000 golf
season is shown in Table 2. Funds from
a special reserve accOWlt are used for
golf carts, landscaping, maintenance
equipment, capital improvements, golf
course expansion, and golf cart paths.
The Budget and Finance Committee,
made up of the Vice Chairman and the
TI'easurer of the Green Committee,
prepares the annual budget for 'sub...
mission to the Green Committee with
assistance from Dave Feser, golf super-
intendent, and Jim Arendt, golf pro-
fessional. All financial information is
public and given to the city and county
officials, and is audited annually.
Overall, the Green Committee con-
sists of nine members who live in the
community and have been appointed
by the Parks Conunission. Each mem-
ber is appointed for a three-year term,
and each member may serve a second
tenn. The Chainnan serves a two...year
tenn. The Green Committee also hires
the golf course superintendent and golf
professional. At the monthly meetings,
long-range plans, fees, and other topics
are discussed and reviewed by the
Green Conunittee. This "citizen com-
mittee" system works at Chicopee
Woods and helps to insure quality golf
for the public golfer. Chicopee Woods
is currently building a third nirie holes,
designed by course architect Dennis
Griffiths. This will be financed by a
bank loan and paid for within 13 years
from generated revenues. 1htly a
success!

#3 OIde Barnstable Fairgrounds .
Golf Course (Massachusetts)
The Olde Barnstable Fairgrowids
Golf Course, built in 1991, has set up an
Enterprise Account Fund to operate
this popular golf facility in the town
M A Of"U fA nDn ,.,nn1
,- tot (
of Barnstable, Massachusetts, on cape
Cod. OIde Barnstable Fairgrounds has
a reputation as one of the best munici-
pal facilities in the Northeast. The
course averages over 63,000 rounds
per year and has a modest budget of
approximately $550,000 annually. The
town oversees the Enterprise Account
and an independent Golf Advisol)'
Committee made up of concerned citi...
zens of the town meets monthly to dis-
cuss potential issues facing the facility.
The seven...member Golf Advisory
Committee has several sub-committees
to deal with tournaments, fee sched..
utes, budgetary issues, etc., and makes
reconunendations regarding long.. and
short...range planning.
The golf course is operated without
any tax-generated revenue and spends
what it makes. It is fully responsible for
all debt service and bonds. The golf
facility charter includes a goal to pro-
vide reasonable green fees for the
residents of the community. Non-resi-
dents are charged higher fees, and
approximately 25010 of the annual play
comes from this income source that
generates a significant portion of the
annual revenue. With the popularity of
golf in this resort town, a certain per-
centage of the daily tee times are
allocated for non-resident play due to
their income value. Every holiday and
weekend day in the summer typically is
sold out for these tee times, and if any

openings come about, they are offered
to residents first
The golf course operates out of the
Department of Recreation, with the
Pro/Manager at the golf facility, Gary
Philbrick, PGA professional, reporting
to the Recreation DireGtor. Bruce
Mcintyre, CGCS, is the golf superin.
tendent who carries out the capital im-
provements and directs the daily course
operations. The Pro/Manager and Golf
Course Superintendent develop the
annual budget and make recommen-
dations for how to spend the money in
the Enterprise Account through the
Recreation Director. After the Recrea-
tion Director and Golf Advisory Board
review the budget, it is passed on to
the Town Manager, who generally
approves the proposed budget The
Town Manager will then take the
budget to the Town Council for final
approval. In 1999, capital improve-
ments for cart paths, new equipment,
and irrigation improvements totaling
over $200,000 were completed, with an
approximate $100,000 surplus left in
the Enterprise Account These funds
will be spent next year for additional
course improvements or debt service.
One major 'decision that really has
promoted quality turf conditions with
the high play is the fee system~ Green
fees for residents average between $29
and $36 for 18 holes, while non-resi-
dent fees are between $55 and $69.
Whether the golf course is a municipal or private facility, periodic renovations are
important. A new concrete cart path project was financed at Chicopee Woods G.C.
by revenues trom the reserve account.

#4 Monmouth County Golf Courses
(New Jersey)
The Monmouth County Park System
in central New Jersey has seven golf
courses, including two facilities
(Hominy Hill and Howell Park) in the
Golf Digest Top 50 Public Courses.
Dave Pease, General Manager of the
MCPS Golf Courses, places a premiwn
on course conditions. nus manage-
ment philosophy provides the best
playing conditions possible for the
daily-fee patron. Every facility is oper-
ated with annual budgets in the range
of $700,000 to $800,000. The successes
of the management programs are based
on the continuous support from all
departments and adminiStrations. Most
importantI~ the Board of Recreation
Commissioners, an independent com-
mission within the Department of
Parks, has been a big plus for the
famous conditions at these facilities.
TIlls board consists of 10 members
appointed by the Board of Chosen
Freeholders, who are elected county
officials. Since the appointment is for
a lifetime and without pay, only indi-
viduals who have a vested interest in
the county are chosen. The appointees
come from all types of backgroWlds,
including blue-collar workers and pro-
fessionals. The lifetime appointments
help to insure a stable infrastructure.
The Board of Recreational Commi-
sioners is primarily a policy..making
board rather than a working board.
lhis board meets twice monthly and
sets the direction not only for the golf
facilities, but also the rest of the Mon-
mouth County park system. A few of
their important responsibilities include
approving course policies, operational
and capital budgets, contract approval,
and long-range plans. The gaff course
staff drafts all golf course budget issues
for the Board of Recreation Commi-
sioners, and Mr. Pease serves as a
technical advisor for golf course opera-
tions. "1 keep the wheel greased for
golf expenditures," explained Mr. Pease,
f'as all the recreational heads want a
piece of the pie," Final decisions re-
garding the budget rest with the Board
of Recreational Commissioners, but
they must operate within the budget set
by the Board of Chosen Freeholders.
,'"
Funds to operate the golf courses
come from the green fees, cart fees, and
pro shop sales, and are deposited into
the county treasury, but several trust
funds also exist that retain a percentage
of certain revenues for capital improve..
ments. Non-resident green fees are
double those of the county residents
at each of the seven golf courses, and
these fees usually generate 400/0 of the
total revenue) even though non-resi-
den ts are only 150/0 to 200/0 of the total
play. Overall, every doJlar generated by
the seven golf facilities is returned to
golf from the county treasury and trust
funds.
The system works very well in
Monmouth County, and over 50,000
rounds are played annually at each
facility. The major complaint from the
public is that "you can't get a tee timet!
and not that Uthere isn't any turf on
the tees. U
Other lips for Success
for Public Golf Courses
Municipal golf courses are a big
business today, but they stiH offer the
best opportunity to introduce new
golfers to the game. The municipal
facilities profiled in this article have
experienced firsthand the challenges
encountered with the operation of golf
courses and have shared a few tips to
help others stay on the road to success.
Administrative
· Find public-spirited golfers who
play on your course and live in your
community to serve on your advisory
board.
· Appoint citizens with varying play-
ing ability.
· Consider small business people,
accountants, superintendents, attor-
neys, and others who may have skills
that you could draw upon.
· Select as your first chairperson a
very strong individual with strong
organizational skills.
· Appoint positive people to your
governing board, not those who just
complain.
· Write a charter with your purpose
clearly stated.
· Hire the very best employees you
can afford. Remember, excellent em-
ployees will pay their way, while poor
employees will not be cost effective.
· Make the playability of the golf
course your top priority when budget-
ing any funds, either operational or for
capital improvements. Eventually, the
golf course reputation and consequent
play will be able to pay for a few frills.
Make some improvements on the golf course each year. Critically
evaluate expenditures to allocate lnoney to the appropriate area.
· Keep "clubhouse" operations to a
minimum! Remember, golfers come to
play golf.
· Remember that you are in a
competitive situation with other golf
courses and, as government or munici-
pal operations, your only conflict might
be that you have a community obliga-
tion to provide for the young, the
old, and the disadvantaged. This does
not mean cheap golf for the average
player.
· Raise your income through an in-
crease in fees each year - perhaps a
minimum of 30/0 to 50/0, and slightly
more if you want to make some capital
improvements.
· Consider a discount for people
from your political jurisdiction.
· Stay strictly daily fee.
· Do not issue season tickets.
· Do not Hyo-yo" prices, i.e., not
increase fees for three or four years
and then make a 200/0 increase.
· Do not spend money for "fancy"
when you don't have the basics.
· Keep track of financial ratios and
differences from year to year. Example:
..... A Dr"lU fA l"\n~, ^^....
"
"I ' , (
(
Chicopee Woods Golf Course (Georgia) operates under the jurisdiction of the Chicopee
Woods Parks Commission. A Green Committee, established by the Parks Commission,
conducts monthly meetings to establish fees and rules, review current activities on the
golf course, and discuss long-range plans.
Total income divided by rounds played
equals dollars brought in by an average
customer. Is this number going up or
down from year to year? This can be
done with many different sets of
numbers and tracked.
· Remember to act as much as pos-
sible as any for-profit business would.
· Price yourself at an optimum, i.e.,
not so high you can't attract players and
not so low that you either leave money
on the table or can't give a reasonable
quality product.
· Be flexible 'With issues regarding
unions, bureaucracy, and difficult
clientele.
· Hire rangers to police the players
and ensure that customers follow the
philosophies of the facility.
Golf Maintenance
· Make golf course maintenance the
highest priority.
· Keep unifonn playing conditions
throughout the golf course.
· Do not attempt to have the Hper-
feet" conditions of1V golf, but do have
good playing conditions throughout
the golf course, in this order: putting
greens, tees, bunl{ers~ fairways, and
rough.
· Make fertilizer applications some-
where between adequate and optimum
for turf growth. Too much is a waste,
and too little will not give the results
desired and therefore is almost a waste,
too!
6 USGA GREEN SECTrON RECORD
· Chemical plant protectant applica-
tions should be made only if absolutely
needed.
· Accept some turf damage or weed
infestations before initiating control
measures.
· Consider spot applications of fer-
tilizers, herbicides and other plant
protectan ts.
· Hire an excellent mechanic and
make equipment maintenance a very
high priority.
· Do not plant roses if you don't have
good turf!
· Dream but be practical.
· Make some course improvements
each year.
· Decide where to spend capital
monics by evaluating if this expenditure
will tend to increase or decrease opera-
tionaJ budgets. This is not always easy,
but it is very important if funds are hard
to come by. For instance, pennanently
correcting a bunker that is routinely
eroded by washouts will reduce opera-
tional costs while a pretty flower bed or
fountain will tend to raise operating
costs. Those kinds of expenditures
may be needed, but consider them
carefully!
· Renlember that golfers come to
your course to play golf. Invest as much
as possible in the golf course turf
condi tions.
· Don't spend large amounts of
money on architectural improvements
if they are really not needed.
· Consult annually with a USG~
agronomist to find out the latest info]
mation about turfgrass managemen
new products, and trends.
· Use the largest turf equipmen
practicaL This helps to keep labor cost
down.
· Have backups for your most impor
tant pieces of equipment.
· Dontt compromise on the necessi
ties of fertilization. weed control. aerifi
cation, and divot repair.
· Hire a top-notch assistant super.
intendent.
· Don't let the attitude of HI don'~
care" develop. Superintendents must be
motivated and they. in turn. motivate
the crew.
· As a superintendent. be seen and
communicate with the golfers. There is
a need for constant education.
· Don't give in to the vocal minority.
Develop a good agronomic plan and
stick to it.
· Mandate the use of non..metal
spikes to reduce wear on the course.
· Set up maintenance work schedules
to avoid conflict between the workers
and golfers during the course of normal
daily grooming activities.
Conclusion
The public has a deep-rooted per-
ception that municipal golf is low
quality. Times have changed, and many
municipalities are providing affordable,
accessible, and better-conditioned golf
courses for the public golfer. In fact~ the
2002 U.S:.Open will be played at the
Black Course at Bethpage State Park,
a state..operated golf course.
There is hope for any municipal
facility in need of improvements by
following the advice and case studies in
this article. Municipal golf courses are
still the periect venue to teach new
golfers the traditions and proper eti-
quette of play in an affordable and
safe environment. Today's government
officials might not be able to get you
to heaven, but there is no reason why
they can't provide a heavenly golf
course.

A. Fire Department - Kenny Bowers
1. Award Bid for New Fire Enqine:
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Item 4, Department Reports. We will start out with Item
A the Fire Department award the bid for the new fire engine. Kenny. Or Chief. 11m
sorry.
Bowers: Thank you. Madam President, City Council Members this year we put the bid
out for a new fire engine to go out in Station 3 at Locust Grove. Four companies came
and picked up specs. We only received two back at this time. This truck will be a little
different. It's supposed to be a little shorter than our others. We are getting so long on
our other trucks that we are going to try a little shorter truck to get around. The
subdivisions that are going with smaller lots -- or smaller roads and cul-de-sacs. Also,
this truck will -- went up three to five percent, of course, each year it does, and also we
got in the middle of -- the diesel engines now have to have emissions on them, to pass
an emission test, so we got involved with this. The engine -- the diesel engine will be
about 8,000 dollars more this time than what it has been in the past. I will turn this over
to Deputy Chief Johnson. He's got all the facts and figures for you and you can ask him
any questions that you might have.
De Weerd: Thank you, Chief.
Johnson: Madam President, Members of the Council, thank you for this opportunity.
The two bids we received were from Northwest Fire Equipment that was building a
Seagrave fire apparatus and, then, Hughes Fire Equipment, building a Pierce fire
apparatus. The bids came in -- the Seagrave bid came in at 345,862 and the Pierce
came in at 339,800. As we went through the bid spec -- I have looked at some
alternatives to changing the price a little bit. The first thing we decided to do is we had
put in a bid for two tone paint, a white top on the fire apparatus. By deleting that, that
will give us a 500-dollar credit. Then, on the worksheet that I gave you, I believe, the
first page's bid shows paying for the chassis after completion would give us a credit of
5,472 dollars reduction in the price. And, then, the last thing we had was an option in
there for inspection trips for the personnel, we would like to add that back in, so we get
back there with sufficient number of people to evaluate the rig. Then, the final cost of
the apparatus will be 338,808 dollars, if you folks accept this as we have modified it.
De Weerd: Okay and, Chief, that's within the budget?
Johnson: Yes, it is. We had 380,000 dollars budgeted for the fire apparatus and
equipment to go with it.
De Weerd: Okay. That gives you enough room for the equipment to go on it.
Johnson: Yes, it does.

Meridian City Council
December 16, 2003
Page 8 of 66
Powell: Okay. Sorry. Just to refresh your memory, this was the location that we were
talking about. The motion by Council Member Bird was for a 10-foot landscape island to
serve as a traffic calming device, so we were able to meet with them yesterday. They
did provide us this design and this was -- quite truthfully, I had given them some ideas
and this was based on that, although I think it's not quite how I envisioned it. They are -
- were constrained by -- they don't want to move this line at all, because of the impact it
has on these two lots and because they are corner lots, they feel they can't reduce them
at all. They took all of the area out of this one this. This knob right here is to kind of stop
the parking aisle. I guess my initial thoughts were that if we did go with this, that this
should be removed, because all itls doing is forcing people out here and it makes this
confusing. If we are going to keep this, to extend this landscape island out here, so that
you donlt just have 50 feet of asphalt from here to here. Now, I think a problem that the
applicant has is that they need a shared driveway for these two lots right here, which,
obviously, won't work. I think if we took this out, this one might work here. I think they
need to talk to you about their proposal. That's the end of staff comments.
De Weerd: Okay. Thanks, Anna. Any questions f or staff at t his point? 0 kayo Is the
applicant here? Please, state your name and address.
Forrey: Thank you. My name is Wayne Forrey. 1952 South Wild Creek Way in Boise.
83709.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Forrey: Thank you, Madam President, and Members of the Council. I have a handout
that I'd like to give to the Council, which will give you just a little concise background of
this and also show you some -- I think a solution to this issue. May I hand it out?
De Weerd: Yes, please.
Forrey: Thank you.
De Weerd: Did you get a copy for the clerk?
Forrey: Okay. Let me walk through this quickly. On October 28th of this year, the City
Council approved the preliminary plat of Sageland, with the condition of traffic calming.
On November 6th we submitted an initial engineering drawing to the city which had,
actually, two landscape islands in it and we received some feedback that we needed to
rethink that design. We met on November 12th with city staff to get some feedback and
the direction was make sure that you coordinate with the fire department and ACHD, as
well as the planning staff, in coming up with some additional alternatives. On November
14th two additional design alternatives were presented to the city, the fire department,
and ACHD and some feedback came that, boy, we needed to widen the street, it was
just getting too narrow. On November 24th an additional desi~n number four was
prepared and submitted to the agencies and, then, on December 5t we met with ACHD,
specifically about traffic calming designs, the radiuses, the theory, and the function of
Meridian City Council
December 16. 2003
Page 9 of 66
something that they could approve. On December 8th a fifth alternative was prepared
and submitted to all of the -- the city, the fire department, and ACHD. Then, on
December 9th a letter was prepared and submitted by ACHD to the developer and the
city and that letter is the second page of this handout and in that letter ACHD -- they
liked this design Number 5, Option 5, and they indicated that it would function
adequatery. Then, on December 15th we met with city planning staff again, also with the
fire department and ACHD, and we developed a sixth alternative and that's the
alternative that Anna Powell put on the screen. Now, Option 5 and 6 are the two -- the
last two sheets in the handout. Both of those alternatives -- they are totally different in
the approach to traffic calming, but both of them meet your Fire Department standards
and they both meet ACHD standards. Option 6, if you look at that one and if it's
possible to put that on the screen that's the initial -- that's the drawing that was
submitted to the city --
McCandless: We only have option five.
Forrey: There should be two options.
McCandless: There is not in this one.
Forrey: An Option 5 and an Option 6.
McCandless: Oh. I have it. I'm sorry.
Forrey: Okay. If you look at option six -- here it is right here. This traffic calming device
meets all standards and it places an island in the center, a 10-foot island, and that was
the direction that came about in the motion back in October. And ACHD and the fire
department both have criteria that on each side of the island there has to be at least 20
feet of asphalt and you have got a 10-foot island. You end up with 50 feet of asphalt
right in the center of a neighborhood and the theory behind traffic calming, the planning
theory behind it, is that you provide a constriction and that gets people to feel like the
road narrows and slows down. In this case, even though this meets all the criteria, we
now have this -- almost the size of a parking lot in the very center of a neighborhood. In
my opinion, we don't have a neighborhood scale traffic calming here, we just have a
mass of asphalt, but we do have an island. Option five, if you will look at that. Put that
back on the screen again. This is the one -- the design that ACHD said met their criteria,
it meets Fire Department criteria, and it takes the traffic calming from a different
perspective. That is that you provide a narrowing, you have side islands or chokers that
provide that constriction point and they are landscaped and so you have the feeling that
the road narrows and it -- the theory is that it causes the driver to slow down. We have
two options, both meet the requirements, but on has an island in the center and the
other has bulb outs on the sides. The option that has the island in the center, as Anna
Powell mentioned, really makes access in and out of those residential lots problematic.
This alternative right here Number 6. Option 5 is much easier access and so both
achieve traffic calming. Here we are tonight asking the Council to rethink what type of
traffic calming you would like to see in this neighborhood. The one is, I think,
r~
\
Meridian City Council

Page 10 of 66
neighborhood scale and the one is just so much asphalt, I think neighbors living there
would say, gee, why was this done. Everyone would kind of question that and the
thinking behind that. Although, both will calm traffic, both will do it, I think one provides a
more neighborhood friendly feel and better access to the lots. As a planner I always
think about the community at large and I really think Option 5 is better in neighborhood
scale traffic c aiming. Both work. 0 ption 6 has the island, which is what the C ouneil
asked us to look at, and we have struggled with this with all these meetings and six
different design options to try and make this work. Here we are tonight maybe, you
know, having to get a judgment from the City Council, but we hope you would take a
look at this and decide, hopefully, on Option 5. Be happy to answer any questions.
De Weerd: Did you propose this in our earlier discussions?
Forrey: Yes, we did.
De Weerd: And what was the comments at that time?
Forrey: The Council didn't look at it. It was in your -- it's been in your packets for two
weeks.
De Weerd: I must be thinking of q different application.
Forrey: No.
De Weerd: Because I remember comments on this particular style.
Forrey: Since December 9th.
Powell: Yes. I did comment on it, that it didn't meet the motion that was made by
Council Member Bird, that it was not a ten foot island, and I also commented at that
time. I have checked with ACHD, too, and, really, we feel, as staff, that it serves
absolutely no traffic calming purpose. It is a small narrowing of it, but it really does not
force the driver out of the direction of travel in such a manner that it would have any
traffic calming affect.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: What's the difference between this roadway configuration and the other
application we had on Meridian Road that was that long skinny one. We made them go
back and we made them put an island in it and it -- and I don't think that's a 50 foot
roadway, so is it the ten foot island that's the problem here? The ten foot wide island?
Because they put two islands in that very narrow subdivision with one street and they
could fit ani sland there for traffic c aiming a nd this seems s 0 complicated - - I would
agree, I don't think this is going to calm anything. I, actually, think the traffic is all going
Meridian City Council
December 16, 2003
Page 11 of 66
to stay on one side of the island and you're going to end up with people driving two
ways on this side of the street so, I don't think it --
Forrey: It's wide enough to allow that.
Nary: Right. I don't think that's safe. I guess I'm not sure if it's the 10-foot wide island
that's the problem, but Mr. Cook was able to redraw that one and put islands in it, so I'm
not sure why this is so complicated.
Powell: And, Madam President, Council Member Nary, I don't remember exactly on that
oneJ but I believe that they were able to expand the right of way in both directions such
that the island was placed in the center of the roadway, thereby, providing some sort of
visual separation there. Then -- and that one was a little bit different, because we
weren't quite as concerned about cut-through traffic. I think the anticipated was more
slowing down speeds a little bit, not so much discouraging cut-through traffic. I think on
this one we were also looking for a little bit higher standard of traffic calming to
accommodate that. If I might add a few other words, we did talk about this at the initial
hearing, how that it -- that putting in the traffic island would mean adding 20 feet travel
lanes for the Fire Department. As I recall we did talk about that and raised that as an
issue, that you will have to widen that and I just feel that as -- as they have struggled to
do these options, this is the first option that met the criteria of the motion for approval.
The other options didn't have an island in them. Also, they have thought this right of
way issue and, you know, this might mean redesigning this subdivision a little bit to
meet the criteria of the approval and it hasn't happened. I mean this is the first time that
we have seen any change in the right of way at all and if -- you know, it could be -- and I
think it was anticipated by Council that it could mean a shifting of lot lines and some
adjustment for the subdivision and we just haven't seen it. I mean I think there is a good
solution out there, I just think that the applicant is struggling with -- with doing the -- with
adjusting the right of way at this point.
De Weerd: Thank you, Anna. Any other questions, Council?
Forrey: If I could clarify. Our first design did have two islands in it, but they were four
feet wide, not 1 0 feet.
De Weerd: So, they didn't --
Forrey: That's because that's the ACHD minimum is four feet. It's not uncommon to
see projects with four foot islands, but we did go back through the minutes and Anna
Powell is correct and there was some discussion of a five foot island, but the motion
was 10 foot island. Putting a 1 0 foot island and, then, 20 feet of asphalt on each side, it
just -- it just doesn't seem neighborhood scale when you plot it out and look at the size
of the project and have all that asphalt in the center of the project. We were just hoping
for some alternative.
Nary: Madam President?
Meridian City Council
December 16. 2003
Page 12 of 66
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: But, Mr. Forrey, I thought what I heard Mrs. Powell say before is part of the
problem is that the fact that you didn't want to move any of this side of the lot, so you,
basically, took all of the necessary width from the opposite side of the street. If you had
Forrey: Yes.
Nary: So, if -- I guess what I'm thinking of, what I recall maybe in the initial discussion --
and I don't have the minutes here, but I think you even offered up that, well, we could
put something in this location. I guess my anticipation was you would, essentially, lose
a portion on this side and a portion on that side and you wouldn't end up with this sort of
wacky configuration like you have got, but you would, basically, be, you know, cutting a
little off of the middle and you would have an island right here. I think part of our
concern was having -- if I recall, the second discussion we had about this was how big
of island can you put here to have landscaping on it, not just to have a cement block in
the middle of the street. To, actually, have a landscaping piece and if it was too small,
ifs not adequate to really maintain landscaping on it and I'm not positive that that was
the reason for the 10 foot, but I think that was whafs anticipated. It seems to me like
your clients, yourself, part of the problem here is that you have made a business
decision not to change this lot line, but borrow it all from this side and that's just not
going to work.
Forrey: You know, I think we could adjust a little bit, but we are talking here about 67
feet of right of way, with ten foot island it creates that, or 67.5 I guess it is, 67 and a half
feet. We started with 50 and so there is a seventeen and a half foot give and some
could come on the south side, as you suggested, but they are corner lots and there
were side entry garages and so it's a little more problematic to do that. You know, if we
have to do that, we will have to. I just -- this is just getting so large, there is so much
asphalt, that's why I'm bringing it up to see if there is more of a neighborhood scale
solution here.
De Weerd: Well, I guess you could take some of it off that five foot landscaping, but you
were the one who told us you could make this work and, you know, I'm not a designer, I
-- we anticipated you coming back with this.
Forrey: We did. Option 5. It does --
De Weerd: B ut 0 ption 5 doesn't meet t he conditions 0 f the m ation 0 f a pproval a nd
that's what our staff is pointing out, that, you know, if we want to reopen this and discard
the findings and rehear this thing allover again, I guess that's the next option.
Forrey: Yes. We really don't want to do that.

De Weerd: Okay. We, then, you need to fit within the motion that was made to approve
your application and the choker is not an option.
Forrey: Okay. In the minutes there was discussion of a five foot island and, then, there
was discussion of a 10 foot island and the motion was made for a 10 foot island. Is
there any flexibility in that dimension of that island, the width of the island?
De Weerd: Mr. Attorney, I guess if we change a condition we would have to open up
the hearings is that correct?
Nichols: Madam President, Members 0 f t he Council, I think you want to I oak at the
minutes and see the exact motion, because I think there was also some discussion of a
targeted 1 0 feet.
Forrey: It was a target 10 --
Nichols: And there was some potential flexibility for something less, at least that's my
recollection.
Forrey: Yes.
De Weerd: Okay. That doesn't answer the question. I guess the question is, okay, at
what point -- I think staff would like some direction if it was vague, what are they dealing
with. You know, what is the expectations and can we change those right here or do we
have to open up this process again.
Nichols: And, Madam President, Members of the Council, I donlt think it's a significant
enough change that you have to open up the process again. If you want to give staff
direction that says -- I mean if staff says to have landscape appropriate to a traffic
calming island it needs a minimum width, they can tell you that and that's the minimum
amount. If they don't have that information, then, you have to get it. It appears to me
that what we were looking for was the traffic island. Mr. Forrey, I believe the reason we
said target was he wasn't sure at the time whether there as adequate space for a full ten
feet, so it might have to be narrower than that, but at the same time Councilman Nary I
believe was quite succinct that he didn't want the concrete block in the road either. It
had to be wide enough for landscape, but it didn't have to be ten foot or more.
Forrey: Let me add that Quasar doesn't want concrete either. It needs to be landscaped
and pretty.
De Weerd: Okay.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Meridian City Council
December 16, 2003
Page 14 of 66
Nary: I guess I would agree with what Mr. Nichols' recollection was and that's mine as
well. I think what we have seen was -- as I said, the second discussion we had of this
was a concrete barrier and not, really, a landscaped island. I think -- I think all of
recollections are the same, that you did say that we -- you weren't sure about the width
and whether or not it could be eight feet, right, or ten feet and we said that's fine, it
needed to be up to ten feet, but we are willing to be flexible about those things and
maybe that -- I donlt k now if that helps the staff in saying, you know, there to be a
minimum, there has to be landscaping, and it has to be an island for the purposes of
traffic calming. Now, if it's five feet, six feet, six and a half, eight, I don't know, I just want
to see it, but this doesn't work and the choker doesn't work, so, I don't know of that
helps Mrs. Powell or her staff.
Forrey: Could I ask, then, to be tabled a week and let us redo this design here?
Powell: Madam President, before you move on that, I have very strong feelings about
the width of this traffic island. If it is significantly less than ten feet, it is not going to
serve any traffic calming function. If you're not moving people out of the travel lane and
forcing them to think about what's ahead, then, it's not going to serve much of a
function. If they took a five foot one and straddled the center line of the road, it's a two
and a half foot jog. That's not going to serve any traffic calming function. They will still
be able to go down there full speed and that's been my advice to you all along. I just
want to make sure you're fully aware that I really don't think it's going to solve any traffic
calming. Now, if you have decided it's not as important, then, that's okay.
De Weerd: Can you be more specific? No. I'm sorry. I would agree. The goal in mind
here, Mr. Forrey, is that you need to take away the straight line and if you can do that
with a smaller area, it sounds like Council would open to that idea, but you need to work
with our staff. We only have one more meeting, that's January 6th, and so it has to be
taken care of by, then. Otherwise, do we need to reopen it? Okay. So--
Forrey: Thank you.
De Weerd: -- if you would work with staff. I think in our landscape ordinance we do
have minimums of how much those landscape islands can be to sustain the health of
the plantings. I don't know that right of the top of my head, but if you will keep that into
consideration, take away the straight lines, and that's as much as we can give you at
this point.
Forrey: Okay.
De Weerd: Okay.
Forrey: And we would anticipate being on your agenda for January 6th?
De Weerd: If you keep it really short.

De Weerd: If you and Anna will, please, raise your right. Do you swear the testimony
you provide tonight is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you
God?
Powell: Yes.
Kirkpatrick: Yes.
De Weerd: Thank you. I'm sorry. Continue, please.
Kirkpatrick: Okay. We met Mr. Nesmith about a week ago and we went through the
conditions of approval still needing to be completed and I followed it up with a memo
explaining which conditions had been completed, which ones still need to be completed.
We followed this up with a phone call -- I think it was last Friday I spoke with Mr.
Nesmith and we went through again what he needed to do to prepare for this evening,
so I believe he's here and wishes to be in compliance and should have a plan of action
on how to complete the CUP permit. The applicant has -- since we were here last time,
he has come in and applied for a sign permit and Anna will speak about the sign permit
application we have received.
De Weerd: Okay. You want to go ahead, Anna?
Powell: Thank you, Madam President, Members of the Council. We did get the sign
permit in and, then, staff had a hard time evaluating it, because there are no standards
for signs in the Old Town district. You have a memo before you tonight from Sonya. We,
basically, looked at the options of how to evaluate the sign. What staff has traditionally
done is similar to setbacks. They have looked at a similar use. If it were a commercial
use, they looked at the commercial zone. If it were an industrial use, they have looked
at the industrial zones and looked at the sign allowances in that district. Well, the zoning
ordinance specifically says we are supposed to do that for setbacks. It does not
specifically say we are supposed to do that for signs. Struggled a little bit with what to
do. Generally, a new use will coming in for a conditional use approval, so I think in the
future we a re going tom ake sure t hat a 1,1 t hose Old Town uses come in with a sign
program as they go through. That will solve some of this problem. I guess it boils down
to tonight it would be best if you could also address some of the issues related to the
sign that was put up without a permit. The memo does show you how it relates to some
of the other zones. For commercial zone it appears to be about 16 square feet over. For
an industrial zone it would appear to be six square feet over the maximum allowed. The
sign that he has currently is much less -- much more conforming -- well, it can't be
conforming, because there is no standards, but the sign that he replaced was taller and
had more background area. The sign that he has installed would presumably be less of
an impact on the community than the one that was originally replaced. Those are just
some options for you to consider. The other three areas would be that he does have
kind of a five foot protrusion. Normally, the sign code would only allow for a three foot --
let me go down there for -- just a second. You can see it kind of up at the top here. This
goes up five feet. Normally, any sign it would only be allowed to be three feet. At the
Meridian City Council

base of the sign he does not have a landscaped area. Normally, one would be required.
And perhaps the applicant can speak, but it looks like the sign overhangs the right of
way, but we are not sure on that. Normally they would have to be a foot off the right of
way.
Nichols: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Anna, at the last hearing Mr. Nesmith testified that the sign for which he didn't
have a permit was the sign on the building, not the one in the -- not this one that's on
the screen. Did you resolve that issue as to which sign needed the permit?
Powell: I had always understood it to be the free-standing sign. I believe Sonya
reviewed t he building signs a nd s he didn't discuss them with m e, sol assumed that
there was not an issue with the building signs.
De Weerd: And that was my impression, it was the sign on the building, not the free-
standing sign.
Powell: Perhaps the applicant can provide some insight. I'm sorry. We can do some
research here.
De Weerd: Okay. Okay. Any further staff comments?
Powell: No, ma'am.
De Weerd: Glad to hear that he came in and took care of the sign permit. Thank you.
Any further questions, Council? Okay. The applicant or his representative want to come
forward? Okay. Please raise your right hand. Is the testimony you provide tonight the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Weigt: It is.
De Weerd: Thank you. Please, state your name and address.
Weigt: Dennis Weigt, 4278 Riva Ridge, Boise, Idaho.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Weigt: Thank you, Madam President and Council Members. I see your sign over here,
so -- Mr. Nary probably knows that I don't do too well in three minutes or less, but I will
do the best I can and do this as quickly as I can. If we follow kind of the format that -- in
this first letter in this notebook, this letter was the letter that I think they were talking
about from Wendy Kirkpatrick that basically lays out all of their -- the positions of the city
Meridian City Council
December 16, 2003
Page 18 of 66
regarding Mr. Nesmith and what he has to do to be in compliance and so I tried to put
together a package here that follows that directly. I must tell you that I have been in --
I'm not new to this case. I haven1t ever been before you, but I have represented Mr.
Nesmith from pretty much day one and it's been a long long battle and we are really
pretty thrilled about being here today having an opportunity I think to finally get this thing
all resolved. If you -- if you just start going through the pages of this notebook, page one
after the number one, it has some color coding and just a reduced version of the new --
the newest site plan that we have prepared and submitted. It did not have two of the
storage buildings put on it and we weren't able to get Mr. Gibson to do a new one todaY1
so that we could, actually, submit the original to you. We will do that either tomorrow or
no later than t he e nd 0 f t he week, but, nonetheless, there is 0 nly a couple 0 f minor
changes in this particular site plan, as opposed to the previous one that was approved
and those are regarding landscaping and we will get to that small point here real
quickly. I did include some pictures, just some photographs of the building from when
Mr. Nesmith first obtained it to its current condition. Certainly, quite a bit has been done.
I have to take some responsibility for Mr. Nesmith not asking for a sign permit on the
sign out on the street. Quite frankly, I believed he was refacing an already existing sign
and there wasn't a requirement of a permit and so -- I so informed him. I may have been
wrong, I may -- that may prove to have been good advice. I don't know. Nonetheless, I -
- Mr. Nesmith did go down and I believe he attempted to make application for both
signs, so that you folks could make that decision on what needs to be done. I will just
briefly comment on the sign. We did get a permit, it is to file the application, it certainly is
substantially less innocuous than the original sign by a number of feet. It is much more
conforming and the issue regarding the landscaping is very soon to be -- very soon to
be resolved, as you will see when we go through this. I donlt believe that it is in the right
of way. However, I do, I think, understand and recognize what Anna was talking about,
about the three foot to the five foot height. Under number two, we -- these were just
some of the information that we provided for the sign application and on the back of that
is the only receipt we were able to receive that actually showed that we had filed that
application, which we intended to prove to the -- to you. If you go into the next section,
this is the landscaping plan. The only minor difference -- and you're going to find that it's
-- it's on the southwest side of the building in the southwest corner. There is a fence and
some storage facilities1 storage buildings, that are on that side, and the difficulty that we
are having over here is that --
Nichols: Mr. Weigt, take this microphone and --
Powell: Or, sir, there is a laser pointer at the other podium, if you want to use that.
Weigt: This is fine. The difficulty we are having is that there is a fence already right
here. We do have a licensing agreement with the Ada County Highway District. We just
got an amended agreement -- actually, the amended agreement came today, that
allows for the fence on the backside of the sidewalk thafs going to eventually be put in
here, this will be, as you all probably recall, a sidewalk is one of our biggest issues.
There will be a sidewalk, curb, and gutter that attaches to the existing sidewalk here and
will travel the length of the property back to here. We have been somewhat hampered
Meridian City Council
Decenlber 16, 2003
Page 19 of 66
and I will get to that letter. You had ask for a letter and we brought you the letter from
ACHD that basically has kept us from putting that sidewalk in. However, that's soon to
be changed also. The difficulty is that by the time you get the sidewalk in, with the
existing for the fence and the Surge buildings that are on the other side of the fence, is
you lose about a foot and a half to two feet of the -- of the area to landscape. ACHD,
when they looked at it, they still believed -- and you will find that in one of their -- I think
it's number ten, either number ten or number eleven, in their letters that they discuss it,
they feel that it's appropriate, and, quite frankly, it, actually, would provide about six to
eight inches more landscaping than what's currently there. If you follow this landscape
plan in these pictures will see what I'm talk about in terms of -- what I had Mr. Nesmith
do is the second pages of pictures after the signs, you will see a dotted red line, which
is the amount of space that is called for in the landscape plan. You will see a solid red
line in the next picture and that's the amount of landscape that will be available on the
back side of the sidewalk. We still think it's sufficient. We -- it is a deviation somewhat
from the Conditional Use Permit as it was originally authorized, but, on the same token,
it -- I think it still meets the spirit and the intent of what we were doing. The sidewalk is
going in place and there is still plenty of room there to put the required landscaping that
we were going to put in and provide the water to it. That is an issue that the Council
needs to make a determination on and we certainly urge you to allow us to make that
minor modification in t he landscaping portion 0 f the Conditional Use Permit. It wauld
also equal the same room for landscaping that we have across the front of the building
and there is a photograph of that. It's the one underneath this orange car here that's got
the railroad ties, you will see that that's all going to be consistent, it will be consistent all
the way around the building from the front to that side. Moving on to Number 5. Number
5 just is a stamped and signed approval by the sanitary commission -- Sanitary Service
Company of -- I think that the Commission was concerned that possibly the trash
enclosure wasn't where they wanted it. They are perfectly satisfied with it and we have
put it there. Number 6. I don't know that it's actually an issue any longer. The
Commission had some question with regards to why there was a gate in the center of
the fencing on the railroad property and I think that that was resolved the last time. If
there are any questions, I will certainly take them, but I donlt believe that that's an issue
now, given the uses that were intended to be placed there. The next one just simply
shows where the -- number seven simply shows where the site irrigation drainage plan
is going to be. Again, Mr. Gibson will do a new site irrigation drainage plan without the
other things in it and we will provide that, but that's where the main line is. It comes out
of the water meter there on the southwest corner and we will run a line all the way up
and all the way down and underneath the sidewalk and the existing landscape for
purposes of landscaping. One of the issues that we have to come before you on is --
and we are asking for modification or amendment to the Conditional Use Permit is that
of the facade. You know, the facade was a wonderful idea and it still is a very viable
idea, but it is an idea that, quite frankly, initially, was thought to be about a 30 to 40,000
dollar project. After obtaining the Conditional Use Permit and having the appropriate
bids and estimates and things looked at, it became a drastically higher casted project. I
think part of that is in addition to just the cost of -- the normal cost of lumber and things
like that, its attachment to the Quonset hut -- Quonset huts aren't real conducive to lots
of things and they are real difficult to work with, so what we are asking is not necessarily
Meridian City Council
December 16, 2003
Page 20 of 66
to remove that issue, what we'd like to do is see if we can go forward with all of the
other issues on the Conditional Use Permit, leaving that available to us until the time for
the permit to pull that would be I think 2009. It's certainly still a possibility and it's
certainly still a viable possibility that Mr. Nesmith do that, but right now it's just not cost
effective. We certainly want to get all of the other things done and don't want that to be
a hamper, but we also are not requiring that it be removed, just maybe a reprieve for a
number of years until such time as we go forward with that. The next page is -- you will
see -- I should have probably pulled the first one out. That was the bond that was in
place for the sidewalks. That's been removed. Today an additional bond was placed of -
- in the amount of 45,000 dollars, which was calculated pursuant to the equation in the
guidelines and in the code. That is bond that will cover everything, the sidewalks, the
landscaping, all of the improvements and everything to be in compliance with the
Conditional Use Permit. I can tell you that that bond was pulled today for the express
purpose of coming to you today and saying let us do this, we are ready to go, we have
got people in line and we'd, actually, like to see some action on that. The landscaping
and the paved area, the -- actually, the recycled asphalt area starting this week. The
bond was pulled today and Mr. Nesmith has signed and there is a copy of it for you. The
remaining three items -- the next three items are the Ada County Highway District
information. The letter -- the first letter is a letter that, really, kind of details what Mr.
Nesmith was trying to explain to you the last time he was before you. They were having
some extreme difficulty with their own engineering and establishing drainage and some
things on Bower Street, which, really, precluded us -- I guess we could have put in the
sidewalk, but, nonetheless, they strongly encouraged us not to until they got their deal
done. They have got everything in place there. It's scheduled to start their project March
4th and end in June. Our proposal to you is that as soon as they give us the green light,
we will put in our sidewalks, curbs, and gutters, and we will be done by June also,
baring any delay from the Ada County Highway District. We are working in conjunction
with them. They have also accepted our plans. I contacted them and didn't get a call
back today. As soon as I was going through this I realized that he put the original
Conditional Use Permit number on there, instead of the new one, but, nonetheless, if
you, actually, read the text of the letter, it certainly is -- what it's doing is accepting the
new information and not the old information. Although it's not much difference in the
sidewalks and the curbs and the gutters. For your review, the next item is the temporary
license agreement that allows -- allows us to access and use the rate of way. It also --
following that is the letter and the amendment to the license agreement that we received
today that allows the fence on their right of way -- we will have to, once again, apply for
an additional amendment and receive that amendment based upon the landscaping
should you so approve. They have already indicated that they would have no problem
approving that and would issue us another amendment and a temporary license. What
you will s ee - - t he remaining portions 0 f t his a re estimates a nd bids until you 9 et to
Number 19, but all -- from 13 forward are the estimates and bids that we have received
for purposes of the recycled asphalt for the railroad area, for the curbs and gutters, and
for all of the landscaping. Again, I want you to understand that all we are really looking
for from you at this point is the green light and we are ready to move forward and get
this project completed and we have all the people in place to do so. There is just -- we
had to relocate a pole, a power pole. There was information there that I thought was at
t

least relevant for the Council to see some of the things he has been doing. We do have
an appointment scheduled for Thursday, the 18th, at 10:00 a.m. for final inspection on
the back building with the Fire Department. There is an issue with regards to the
western most building. There is a couple of issues, obviously, that need to be decided.
First and foremost, we still donlt have an occupancy permit. That's been a point of
contention for a very long period of time. I, myself, have been involved in probably no
less than ten meeting in an attempt to mediate a probation violation that was
subsequently dismissed and just a lot of stuff to try and get this thing done. It seems like
one thing that's hampering this is this issue of the welder. What I can tell you is that at
one time -- one day when several of the authorities were present at the building they did
notice that there was a heli-arc welder that was in that room. That welder was only there
for a very brief period of time. It was there for storage, it's not used there, it's used in
the area where they resurface heads. That's what a heli-arc is for, that's what it's used
for, thafs ifs specific purpose. That welder is not used in that facility. Now, we also got
to admit to you that the use in that building has changed. It's probably more of a 50-50
storage, working on cars, building and exchange of parts building, than it was initially.
Initially, it was more -- way more storage and much less of the -- working on the motor
vehicles. It is just an exchange of parts place and it is still not used full time. It is
certainly still used as a storage facility. There has been a real question -- and I don't
think there is any question with regards to the minutes and the Findings of Facts and
Conclusions, but, then, again, when you look at the commercial building permit
application, Mr. Nesmith has always said he was going to work on cars in there if he
could. We are here telling you that the building is in compliance. There are no -- there
isn't any welders, there isn't anything that the Fire Department is going to find, there isn't
any problems with that particular zoning of it. We do want you to be aware of the use
since it's been built and being used without an occupancy permit for quite sometime,
has changed, we want to get that straight, we want to get it right, and we want to be in
compliance. This has been a monkey on not only the Council1s back, but on Planning
and Zoning's back, on Mr. Nesmith's back for a very long time. I think that covers the
issue regarding the welder and the building. I think it really, quite frankly, covers most of
the issues, if not all of the issues. I can assert to you that I provided you go forward and
approve the Conditional Use Permit with the changes that we have requested, you
know, by mid summer you're going to see a drastic improvement down there. You're
going to see all of the landscaping in place and the sidewalks and curbs and gutters in
place and I think that's what we are all aiming for.
De Weerd: Thank you. Any questions?
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Mr. Weigt, if we issue this CUP, this stuff is going to go forward, we are not going
to be back here three or four years from now arguing the same thing, because nothing's
been done? Because this originally started -- everybody is throwing this back to 2000.
This originally started in 197 1997. At that point I don't believe -- all the letters we have
Meridian City Council
December 16, 2003
Page 22 of 66
got from ACHD and that -- in your pamphlet says the date of 2003 and they said he had
been working for two years. Well, the Conditional Use Permit, if I recall -- not being on
the Council at that time, but I was in the audience when that was approved, I believe
had the same conditions for the sidewalk and stuff. That's been done.
Weigt: In fact, you're right, this has been going for -- since -- I think I was involved in it
from about 1997 until this d ate. A" I c an tell you is that there w as some real - - real
points of contention and some real problems with communication and we even had a
number of face-to-face meetings where the parties didn't walk away with the same idea
and why and how I really can't tell you. All I know is that -- you know, the bonding is in
place, the people are in place, the minor changes -- you know, Mr. Nesmith had to
reevaluate what his position was and he's done that. He's made the concessions that I
think that are required and under the Conditional User Permit, he realizes he has some
things that he has to do. I can assure -- I can assure you that as best as 11m standing
here it's going to get done, because 11m not going to come back before you in three
years and make the representation again.
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Well, Yes. Mr. Bird. We did ask specifically tonight to not rehash this, but to
see the positive steps forward and he has come back with everything we have asked
him to come back with, with an action plan, with the sureties and those kind of things
and do appreciate that and, yes, you can have a follow-up, as long as we don't rehash --
Bird: Well, he's saying he's got a surety, but he don't have a surety for the whole CUP.
He's got a surety for 45,000. The whole estimated cost is 247,000.
Weigt: He's got a surety for everything but the facade. I mean that's --
De Weerd: Mr. Bird, I think in our last meeting he did ask about the facade and it didn't
appear that any of the Council had any problem about not doing anything with that. I
guess, Mr. Nichols, I would have a question on -- we -- Council also indicated there was
no problem using the recycled asphalt that would be a change of condition. It looks like
the modification and the landscaping plan is very minor and that wouldn't be a true
change to the CUP, but the facade, can that be delayed to a date certain? Would that
require changes in the Conditional Use Permit?
Nichols: Madam President, Members of the Council, the way the code reads, you have
the ability to modify the Conditional Use Permit. When a motion to revoke is before you,
that code section does provide that you can modify the permit. I think that gives you the
ability to say this condition makes sense, modified from paving to crushed recycled
asphalt. With regard to the landscape type issues, though, I think those need to be
specific. If it's -- the land -- he has said we want to do reduced landscape width, as I
understand your testimony, Mr. Weigt, but I haven't -- but you need to be able to say
why and why that's appropriate under the circumstances. With regard to the issue of the
facade, I would just caution you this: He's not going to it now and if it's not really
Meridian City Council
December 16, 2003
Page 23 of 66
essential to what -- I mean it was something that he proposed when he asked for it. If
it's not essential, you would be better off saying no facade, period. Then, if he wants to
put a facade on the building, he comes back -- I donlt know that it would require another
Conditional Use Permit, perhaps it wouldn't, but it would just simply require a building
permit and he could do that. I don't think the facade -- at least my recollection of the
history of this, that wasn't a critical part of this, that the landscape of improvements, the
sidewalk improvements, those sorts of issues, that was more centering around the
Conditional Use Permit.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary
Nary: Yes. I guess from what I see from what you have said, Mr. Weigt, there is still a
couple of things that we -- it doesn't not appear we can resolve tonight. One of them is
his use of this other building. The allegation was it was being used outside what was
being requested. What you're telling us is that it is, but it's not quite as severe as what
the staff was saying it was being used for. It's not being used as a welding facility, but
ifs not being used exclusively as a storage facility. I think you have to -- I'm not totally
convinced from the evidence that we have before us that it's being used as a welding
facility, but you are telling us that you are using it outside what was being requested. I
don't know if it's in compliance and that's -- and thafs the only concern I would have.
The other issue that it doesn't appear we can resolve tonight is the sign on whether it's
the building sign or the freestanding sign, because I would agree that part of the reason
why there is no standard is because if you are just replacing the sign you have,
generally, that's going to be fine, but not always. Here I think we got some
discrepancies here, because we really don't have a standard from which to work from
and we don't necessarily have a means to request a variance, because we don't have a
standard to vary from. I'm not sure that we can -- we can solve all the issues. You
know, I appreciate -- I think as Council President De Weerd intimated as well, that you
have brought forward a lot more of what we have asked to have done. I guess what I
would be more inclined to do, though, is -- is continue this matter for a couple of things.
One, to clarify this issue on the signage of what needs to be there and give staff some
time to work with you and your client to get the sign issue done. This seems -- I think we
thought it was simpler than maybe it is, but I don't know that. Same thing on the use of
that building. I think you need to figure out what it is Mr. Nesmith wants to use it for. If
it's different than what he asked for, he's going to have to ask to modify what he's
requested and you need to be in compliance with the building code and the fire code for
that, whatever it is you're going to be using it for. It just seems to me -- and I don't mean
to make it sound like you or your client aren't trustworthy, but it doesn't seem like
anything's happened without u s going through this process. I would more inclined to
want to continue this to make sure it's continuing on the process that it is. I think it's
going to, it looks like it is, but we thought that last year, too. I would be more inclined to
want to set this over at least once or twice to make sure we are on track and not have to
t
Meridian City Council

start over, if we come to next July of 104 and we are still here and it still looks the same.
I guess those are the issues that to me seem to be standing out, besides just some of
the things Mr. Nichols just raised and I wanted to give you an opportunity to see what
you think, as well as Mrs. Powell.
Weigt: Well, if I may, I -- one of the points of contention has always been what did he
ask to use the building for and if you look at his request for -- and his conditional
building permit application, it says right there in bold print that work will be petiormed on
vehicles when not in use for storage. He's maintained that from day one and why that's
been ignored, I can't tell you. From the day that he asked for the building permit, he
said I want to use this building some, but 11m going to use it for storage, too. What I'm
telling you now is that I think that the way he stated it, that work will be performed on
vehicles when not in use for storage on an occasional basis. I think it's probably a little
more than occasional, depending upon your definition of the word occasional, but I think
from day one he's asked to be able to use the building for more than just storage and so
with regard to the rest of it, set it over once, you know, I -- a little good faith never hurt
anybody. I don't necessarily have a problem with that. lid like to see this all get done
and, quite frankly, if it takes setting it over to do so, that's fine. Obviously, we have to
have your authority to move forward. We have to move forward. We don't want to wait
any longer on our part. We want -- that's why we have the bond in place. We'd like to
get the landscaping and some of that done, so that when we do come back, if it's in a
month or in two months, that you will see some substantial change there, so -- I mean
I'll leave that up to the Council. I think that him taking the steps that he's taken and
doing the things that he's done, he subjects himself to no different liability whether you
approve it now or whether you approve it in a month or two months. He is still subject to
criminal prosecution and all of the other things that go along with it that we have
experienced in the past, so --
Nichols: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Mr. Weigt, the bond is 45,000, but 11m looking at Mr. Gibson's letter of June
25th, 2 002, a nd I realize these were preliminary construction cost estimates, but the
paving and drainage and landscaping on Bower Street and the utilities were over -- well,
approximately 65,000 dollars. Can you explain the difference?
Weigt: Well, the biggest difference is 25,000 dollars for pavement and 6,000 dollars for
reclaimed asphalt. I mean that's the largest difference. Then, the -- actually, some of
the landscaping, some 0 f them - - b ids a re higher a nd s orne a re lower, b ut t he main
difference in all of those numbers is -- if you look in here you will also see Standard
Construction's bid for the asphalt and I believe, as I recall, it's 25 -- I got it. Yes. It's
25,825 dollars. We now have a bid for the recycled asphalt for 4,980.
Nichols: Thank you.

De Weerd: Okay. We have two remaining issues and I did notice that this facility is
scheduled for some initial inspections by both the building department and the fire
department. Staff, I guess if you can get with the sign permit and -- we thought it was
an easy thing, as much as just getting the permit. It looks a little bit more onerous than
that, but if you can take a look at that and see what you can do without any standards, I
know what you can do, but work with him on that.
Weigt: Madam President, Mr. Nesmith informs me that if you look back in the minutes,
that the sign -- that freestanding sign was, actually, already determined to be in
compliance. I donlt know. I guess I haven't seen that, but he believes that it had been
and that we were only talking about the other sign that's on the building, so --
De Weerd: And we have that impression, too, but if that can be clarified with staff, so
that we know what are dealing with and Mr. Nesmith knows as well.
Weigt: And I got to tell you that there is -- I guess there is still a little -- one more little
issue that's part of the use of that building. It's not, because the welder issue has been
-- is a problem, because they saw the welder there and thought that that changed its
use and that it needed to have a sprinkling system when we have had a fire inspection
before they said that it didn't. The problem that I see is -- and I have gone back -- and I
have gone through the minutes and I have talked to Mr. Nesmith. I think -- you know,
we all make mistakes and I honestly think that an honest mistake was made in the
writing of the Conditional Use Permit, but the idea and the thought process was always
that there wouldn't be any welding in the western most building. Mr. Nesmith has always
had the heliarc welding in the current building, but if you look at the use permit, it
actually says no welding on the premises. It does. I don't want to get this approved and
go out and spend 40 or 50,000 dollars and do everything that we need to do, to turn
around and not be in compliance any longer and so that is an issue that needs
determined.
De Weerd: Okay. Well, we will trust that that is worked out between now and when this
is continued to and, then, your client should also tell us what he would like to do with the
facade. As Mr. Nichols had appointed out, we can take that condition off and, staff, if
you can look into -- if it's just a building permit, if he would have to come back for a
Conditional Use Permit. I don't know why he would --
Powell: We will look into that. I don't think for just a facade improvement it would affect
Planning and Zoning, because it wouldn't be affecting the use or increasing the use at
all, so I do believe it would be building, but we will do some more research on that.
De Weerd: Okay and that's something we can do within the findings on this.
Weigt: That would be my understanding, too, is that he -- at least my look at it to him
was that all he had to do was pull a permit if he wanted to do it. And if he didn't, then,
we haven't to, so --
Meridian City Council
December 16, 2003
Page 26 of 66
De Weerd: Okay.
Weigt: And we would be willing to do that either way, so --
De Weerd: So, that's something that could be removed from the Conditional Use
Permit.
Weigt: Correct.
De Weerd: Okay so, those are the remaining issues. Is there anything further, Council?
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Nary.
Nary: I guess from a process standpoint, Mr. Weigt has said a couple times about our
approval. It seems like all we have in front of us is an application to revoke his CU. J'm
not sure that we are approving anything. I think what we -- what I was anticipatin~ is
setting over this revocation hearing and we could do -- and we could -- January 6t is
getting kind of busy, but I mean we certainly could, at least to get these questions
answered, to see where we are, put that on January 6th. You know, obviously, it's not
going to be completed by, then. My only concern is simply removing this -- removing
this particular process might slow things down and I just want that to happen. I think we
have a couple questions that we need to answer -- that we can have answered by the
6th. Obviously, we are going to have to revisit this at some point in the future to see that
either compliance is being done or not. I don't think from a process standpoint we have
anything to approve, I think it's whether or not we decide to concur with the request to
revoke or we deny the request to revoke. I think that's what we have.
Weigt: Don't you also have in front of you, though, as a result of a revocation
proceeding, the modification issue? I think by our own presentation we have orally
requested a modification.
Nary: Yes and I guess you're right -- I'm sorry, you're right. There is some -- there is
some modification you are asking and I think there is probably some of that that staff
hasn't had an adequate opportunity to comment on some of those things that you're
wanting to do, narrowing some of the landscaping and the like. You're right, I guess we
can take that issue as to whether or not we would allow some of these modifications to
occur.
De Weerd: Now, Anna had looked at the asphalt issue and I think staff was in
agreement with that. You also have reviewed the landscape plans is that -- no? Okay.
Okay. If -- then, add that to the list. We have the landscape, the sign issue, the use of
the building, and removing the facade condition. Am I missing anything?

Powell: Madam President, Members of the Council, were you comfortable with the
bond amount? Because I was unclear how the 45 related to the other numbers. I just
wanted to -- we can meet with the applicant to clarify that, but I -- that was a little
unclear to me, but -- if that's -- if you're making a list, I would ask that you include that
on the list.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: The -- I guess the -- I agree, I think you probably need to -- we need to match up
how those numbers are going to work in relation to what they are proposing to do and
whether it is adequate and I think, ultimately, too, Mr. Weigt, it does say work
occasionally on cars. Obviously, that's not very definitive as to what that building was
used for and, obviously, you have a disagreement as to the way the permit was -- was
issued. Again, if you're asking for a modification, I think we need to clarify, so Mr.
Nesmith has to be a little more definitive on what he's going to use it for. Staff has to
have a better idea f rom a safety standpoint as to what it's being used f or and what
requirement -- what code requirements are needed to be met. If it's -- you know, half the
time it's being used for auto parts repair, that may impact what fire code provisions to
apply to it, versus occasional or none. I think that's part of the list we are making. I
think that's kind of what we are looking for.
De Weerd: Okay. Well, I will restate the issues, just to make sure we are on the same
page. Number 1 would be the sign, if it was a freestanding or the wall sign, and
regardless of what sign, if it is acceptable. The second one is use of the building. We
would like you to further define it and make sure that it complies through the inspection
processes. I see Daunt's back there. We are in agreement? Okay removing the facade
requirement out of the Conditional Use Permit conditions. Then, evaluate the bond
amount to see if it was the appropriate amount.
Powell: And the site landscaping.
De Weerd: And, yes, the landscaping.
Weigt: Landscape and the welder.
Bird: Right.
De Weerd: Well, the welder would be part of the use of the building.
Weigt: That's fine. Well, it would be, yes, use of one of the buildings, but not the
western most building, which is the one that we are, really, focused on for the
occupancy permit, because it's not being used in that building.
De Weerd: Right. I donlt think the welding on site is an issue, is it, in the older part?

Powell: There was a poorly worded condition and it does need to be clarified, but staff
is in agreement with the applicant regarding that issue, so it won't be a problem.
De Weerd: Okay so, that's not an outstanding issue. You will take care of that. Okay. If
we can have this -- if we are putting it on the 6th, which forgive us to never say don't put
anything on the 6th, because it seems like everything is landing on the 6th. If you will
have that all written out, staff, nice and concise with the responses, so it's all Reader's
Digest version and three minutes testimony -- don't let attorneys do it.
Nary: Hey. Hey.
Weigt: I thought I got through quite a bit here.
De Weerd: In three minutes. I know.
Weigt: Three and a half minutes.
Bird: How many times three?
Nary: I resemble that remark.
De Weerd: I know so, staff, anything else?
Powell: No, ma'am. Thank you.
De Weerd: Did the applicant need to say anything else? Can we go ahead and move
on here? No. Only if you need to. Thank you, Mr. Weigt. Okay. If there is nothing further
on that item, we will go ahead and move onto Items 12,13,14 and 15--
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Nary.
Nary: Should we make a motion to table the --
De Weerd: Oh, yes.
Nary: -- continue Item 11, the request for revocation of Conditional Use Permit CUP 02-

MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Item 12.
Continued Public Hearing from December 9, 2003: CPA 03-003 Request
for amendment to the text of the Comprehensive Plan to allow new residential
uses within the mixed use WWTP zoning designation for proposed Stapleton
Subdivision by Wardle and Associates - 3680 West Ustick Road:
De Weerd: Okay. Items -- I will just open Item 12, which is the item we continued to
discuss on CPA 03-003, request for amendment to the text of the Comprehensive Plan
to allow new residential uses within the mixed use WWTP zoning designation for
Stapleton Subdivision and I will open with staff comments.
Powell: T hank you, Madam President, Members of the Council. I did meet with Mr.
Centers shortly after our last hearing. I think that we agreed to disagree on some issues
and we just agreed that we needed some objective criteria by which to evaluate this
proposal and that we really didn't have anything. Looking at the market studies was
perhaps not objective enough or -- certainly at this time versus the 20 year time frame of
the Comprehensive Plan that staff had been looking at. I did talk to Mr. Centers about
just seeing how much a noise study would cost. In particular, I think I mentioned the
noise contour study, because I had no idea of the range -- the price range for that and
that at least some sort of contour study out there that accounted for the future
equipment that was planned on site would give us some idea of at least the noise
impact, but acknowledging that it still didn't address the odor impact that might be on
those. I did get a phone call from a noise consultant and I think that Mr. Centers
probably has a good update on that and you have also got a memo from the city
engineer and I think he'd like to provide some comments as well.
Watson: Madam President, Council Members, evidently -- hopefully, you got my memo
and I, evidently, am the only one that doesn't have it now. It was basically just a list of
excerpts from the material that Mr. Centers provided to you last week. I gleaned a few
more from the documents he was referencing. The one thing that I was provided
recently by our consultant at the wastewater plant, Carrallo Engineers, was a copy of a
odor control technical memo that they did for the wastewater plant in Salem, Oregon.
And the only reason I bring that up is that if we do look at something different for this
mixed use zone around the wastewater facility, something like this document is
probably what we need to look at in terms of odor. If the Council wishes, I can talk to
Carrallo Engineers about putting together a scope of services that would cover
something similar for our facility, just so that you would have that information. That's
really all I have. Thank you.
De Weerd: I guess what I'm interested in here -- and I think it was said several
meetings ago -- is, you know, it's my personal belief that we need to do a master plan
for this area and look at not what's feasible marketwise today. What is -- what would be
market sustainable in looking a t future build 0 ut scenarios as well a nd that we have
some kind of master plan for this area. If residential is something we want to consider,
what kind of densities we'd like to consider it at, what kind of standards we would want
(
Meridian City Council
December 16, 2003
Page 30 of 66
applied, or if we continue the same designation, if that's something that the market can
bear. In consideration, I think what was raised at the last meeting by Mr. Bottles, is, you
know, maybe the market won't bear it today, but -- and I know these werenlt his words.
In light of the major arterials and the Ten Mile interchange, the Black Cat being
considered as an extension of Highway 16 and the transportation corridor that that will
be located in, is it reasonable to think that it can sustain commercial and industrial in
that area. I would like to see that further studied and what 11m looking for is -- I
understand we will have to hire a consultant to do that. Is it in this year's budget, can our
budget sustain that, and if it's not, can it be in next yearls budget, but we just let the
property owners know in that area when we plan on specifically addressing it and that's
what I'm looking for. I don't know about the other Council members, but when we had
this discussion with the Comprehensive Plan, that was kind of the direction we were
going for there and I think it's very fair that the property owners know when we are going
to have some kind of further definition of what that use can be.
Powell: Madam President, Members of the Council, we did talk about this and I did --
part 0 f t he reason that M r. Centers w as talking to a noise consultant w as tog et t he
range of those services. They can do an evaluation of the existing site conditions that
would give us a number -- or it would be a study that I could probably fund out of this
year's budget. I haven't seen the methodology for that or exactly what I would get from
that. I'm torn about 50-50 as to whether it would be enough just on the noise issue. I
think that any planning for this area, we do need some -- some more study and I think a
noise study, I think an odor study, as the city engineer has said, and probably a market
study as well. You're looking at three different studies, probably, before that could be
done. I don't have the money in my budget this year for both the market study and any
type of noise study, probably. I could work with Council to get that funding for the next
budget year. That does put off planning for this area a ways, but I do think that what we
are struggling with all along -- what you have struggled with all along is that you don't
know enough about this area to plan for it well and that we have done a reasonable --
and I do believe it is a reasonable -- offered a reasonable round of development
potential with the area, with the only thing it excludes is residential. There is the
residential allowed throughout -- there is not a lack residential properties available within
the area of city impact, so I think he did make a reasonable decision. If you want to
study it further, I think we do need these additional studies that give us a better, clearer
idea of what exactly is going on in this area. We have got the added opportunity to look
at it with the north Meridian area plan. If you want to tie the studies to that particular
Comprehensive Plan amendment, it may slow that one down and I know that there is a -
- kind of a sense of urgency on that one into reviving it and getting it going. Given the
funding constraints, it may slow that down. We may want to exclude this area from that
one and, then, just revisit it separately from that. Does that help the president
understand some of our timing issues or --
De Weerd: Well -- and that's just all I have been asking for is -- you know, if we are -- I
don't think we need to rush into this, because whatever we decide here, we are going to
live with in that whole area. I personally don't feel that we have enough information to
consider that and so I guess I would like to see something further. I don't want to see it
Meridian City Council
December 16, 2003
Page 31 of 66
tied to North Meridian Plan, because the North Meridian Plan is much further along than
this appears to be. Right now this has a lot of allowed uses, as you have raised. The
only one thing it doesn't allow is what's being proposed and why we have this text
amendment in front of us anyway and I haven't seen anything compelling to move
forward. I do think it's compelling enough to move forward to warrant a more detailed
plan and I do think that the property owners do deserve to know at least a time frame on
when that information would be available.
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I wholeheartedly agree, but I also -- I think, Anna, that we could look at it real
hard, at the area that why -- why would not the wastewater plant do some of the studies
themselves out of their budget, not all out of your budget. Because they are the ones
that are out there and I think that that is -- that would be the proper way to go. You
shouldn't have to do all -- your department shouldn't have to do all that, but I agree that
we have got to make a decision and what decision we make we got to live with. I'm not
ready to make that decision until I get more f acts and figures and, basically, on the
wastewater treat plant. Like Brad brought on the study they can do and that's something
we need to get in place, maybe. We need to have these deals and I don't know why we
can't get it done, see if the wastewater treatment plant has some money in there for
some of the studies.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Yes. I guess I would concur with Mr. Bird. I think -- it sounds like a joint effort to
me. I mean there is -- there is some planning issues here, there is some public works
issues here, and we drew a big orange circle around the map when we made this
Comprehensive Plan and now I think it is incumbent on the city to scale down and
decide what, you know, was that -- is the boundaries appropriate? Is the uses
appropriate? I don't think it's just a planning effort, I think there is a joint effort because
of the wastewater treatment plant being there. Obviously, there is needs and concerns
that consultants and the like, with that engineering background, have a different concern
and a different way to approach it than planning consultants are going to have. It
sounds like a joint effort to me. I do think it is incumbent on the city to probably take the
lead here. I think Mr. Centers and Mr. Wardle were here before and they have provided
some -- some market analysis. I don't necessarily think we are going to just accept it
wholeheartedly, but I think they have at least provided some information that is some
value. I think there is a lot more work to be done in trying to have some discussion with
the neighbors and the like to see what their input is as well. I think we have -- you
know, I don't know -- I don't know a time table, but I certainly think we need to be visiting
this in this budget year as best we can and see what we have available to be able to do
that and try to move this along. I agree with Council President De Weerd, I mean there
(~
Meridian City Council
December 16, 2003
Page 32 of 66
are other uses here. I mean it wasn't a secret that there was no residential allowed here,
so 11m not really bothered by the fact that there is some -- there is some heartburn here,
but I think we are going to have to get on the ball now and see what else is there.
De Weerd: Okay. Any further comments?
McCandless: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mrs. McCandless.
McCandless: Just to let everyone know, I believe that everything that's been said is true
and I would definitely go with a further study before we change the Comprehensive
Plan.
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. This is a Public Hearing. Is the testimony you provide
tonight the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Centers: It is.
De Weerd: Thank you. Please state your name and address.
Centers: Jake Centers, 2011 Locust Grove. I don't think anybody really has an issue
with this being a mixed use area. I think the issue is just with allowing residential and
that, I think, has to do with the city's concern of protecting the treatment plant. I mean
that's the whole reason that they don't want to allow that. I donlt know that necessarily a
market study needs to be done for this area. I think the study, really, should focus on
the plant's impact of the surrounding uses, particularly residential uses, because you
have already kind of said -- you know, I mean there are a lot of uses allowed in this
area. I don't know that you want to get into any further detail with that, it's just if you do
come up with some kind of parameters that are more focused in on the plant, because I
mean that's -- you know, it was named the Wastewater Treatment Plant Mixed Use
Area. I think the intent of that was to try and protect the use of the plant. Maybe those
studies need to be more focused towards, you know, the level of noise that the plant
outputs. You know, the odor thing is kind of tough to quantify, but, you know, and that's
kind of how staff and I came up with the noise study is because that's quantifiable, you
know, that's something that does go on on a regular basis with that plant and that would
be something that would be more of a concern to a residential user, you know, if the
noise was being emitted at, you know, late hours at night, early in the morning, such as
that plant, because it needs to run, you know, all the time. It would be a bad deal it if
didn't run all the time. Anyway, that's -- you know, just to try and clarify a little bit more
on, you know, what I think the studies need to involve and that's just kind of what my
opinion was.
De Weerd: Well, thank you.
Centers: Any other questions?

Meridian City Council
December 16, 2003

De Weerd: Any questions? Okay. Thank you, Mr. Centers. Is there any further
testimony. Is the testimony you provide tonight the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, so help you God?
Crane: Yes.
De Weerd: Thank you. Please state your name and address.
Crane: My name is Charles Crane at 3600 West Ustick Road in Meridian, Idaho. A few
weeks ago the original developers of the 34 acres on the corner approached the
neighbors, sent us letters that they had intend on bringing an application to the city
again. A few of the neighbors met with Falcon Group's representative --
De Weerd: Mr. Crane, I do have to caution you not to talk about any specific
application. This is just testimony on the text amendment.
Crane: Right.
De Weerd: And maybe what you would like to add into the possible study in that area.
Crane: Right. I understand.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you.
Crane: And the point is the developers are proposing uses that fit with the
Comprehensive Plan, light office, some commercial, some light industrial, all of the uses
that you guys said would be a good use and that the community, during the meetings of
the Comprehensive Plan, agreed would be buffer use between the treatment plant and
the neighborhood. Just to let you know, there are people that think light office
development is a viable alternative in that area. There is something that -- residential
isn't the only use available for that area, there are some other transitional uses that are
being proposed by other landowners. I don't know if they have officially made any
applications, but that was the meeting that we had here.
De Weerd: Okay.
Crane: There was something else. I guess I'll just let that there. One other thing. This is
not related to this application exactly, but do those stripes on the podium up here -- I
have been attending these meetings for years and it seems like every time I come here
I get a headache looking at these. If it would be possible to tone those down, maybe the
black stripes, paint them a lighter color, so it's not so optical illusion kind of thing. Just a
little side point.
De Weerd: Well, thank you, Charles. Appreciate those comments. Okay. Is there any
further testimony? Okay. Council?

Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I guess maybe I'm going to ask Mr. Nichols what do we do now? We have got a
Comprehensive Plan amendment that we are not totally sold on, but I'm not sure
whether the Council's view was to get this study and consider this further. I mean do we
want to continue that? Is that something -- is that kind of what weare left with, Mr.
Nichols?
Nichols: Madam President, Members of the Council, I think that is what you're left with,
is continuing this, as well as the other pending applications that are partially dependent
upon this proposed amendment. I would say that you need to ask staff to have a
specific proposal for what studies are going to be done, you know, how long they need
to get the information to be able to come to you and say, well, here is what we think
needs to be done. Here is what ifs going to cost and here is where in the budget it
would come from, so that you can make that decision to authorize those studies,
because included in that estimate of the cost, the consultant would be able to say when
the study would be done and available to you. Interested parties like Mr. Centers for
review and comment, because I don't think -- if you don't tell the staff to go forward and
get some sort of indication what they obtain and when they can obtain it and what it's
going to cost and where the money comes from. We will just be taking up that
discussion the next time we visit this.
De Weerd: I guess the direction I'm coming from is at this point there is no compelling
reason to consider a text plan amendment and that's, again, my personal opinion, but I
don't think at this point I feel comfortable making any changes to the Comprehensive
Plan and I don't see the advantage of holding this over. At some point it will be a staff
initiated action if there were going to be any changes to the text and I guess that's what
we would decide at that point.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I guess what -- I think I would agree with you, I think -- I think it probably doesn't
make a lot of sense to continue these particular matters. Because what I would envision
is what we would be doing instead is making, I guess, among other things, is whether or
not we would be making a motion for direction to the staff to come back in three weeks
with some plan as to what we are going to do and when we are going to do it, so that
we have some idea of what these studies are going to be, what type of consultants are
we looking for, whether or not that can be in the next three weeks. I don't mean to hire
them in the next three weeks, but to at least be able to tell us in the next three weeks
exactly where we are going and a fairly short time table to at least get some consultants
hired, get some evaluations and some studies started, but I have a feeling that the -- it
f
\.
/
\
Meridian City Council

Page 35 of 66
would be somewhat fruitless to continue these on, because with the Council change we
are going to end up hearing a whole lot more information based on whatever a study
gets, and there is certainly no -- it doesn't to be reasonable to just assume that whatever
study it gets is going to fit in exactly what's already been proposed here, so it seems
kind of pointless to set this over.
De Weerd: Now, are you telling me you want it on January 6th?
Nary: Oh, it could be on the pre-Council on January 6th. I think all we are really wanting
is some idea -- I mean I think we have talked about some idea of what it is we want. I
think Mrs. Powell has some idea of what type of person she's looking for. I think Mr.
Watson probably has an idea of what type of person we are looking for, but I think we
want something concrete. I think Mr. Centers, if we are going to deny this, deserves
something concrete from us saying here is the people we are going hire, we will bring
the contract back in two weeks and we are going to set a time table of 90 days or 120
days is to do a study to figure out what type of -- how this treatment plant would relate, if
residential is viable, if it is how can it be buffered, all of those types of things. So, no, I
mean think on January 6th is all we are doing -- so, again, we are -- all this Council is
going to be reviewing is that time table meets our expectations of what we think can be
accomplished and these are the people that are going to do it.
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I think that -- I think that over the holidays and stuff it's going to be unreal to even
get anybody to give out proposals and do the deal. We spent three years getting this
Comprehensive Plan in place, we are going to change it in two months. I, for one, am
not for that. I personally feel sorry for the applicant, but, in the same token, he bought
the property knowing what it was zoned for and we spent three years -- I think we need
to have a study and the applicant's right, we are out there to protect our wastewater
treatment plant, it's a very important part of the City of Meridian, and so I don't how -- I
just don't -- I say we go on with the study, but I don't think we can set time tables right
now, because there is no way that they can come back with any information by January
6th, I believe.
De Weerd: Would it be reasonable, staff, to come back next -- within the month -- and I
don't have a calendar for January.
Bird: It would be the 13th or the 20th or the 27th.
De Weerd: If we could come back -- yes, on the 15th with a proposed -- if don't have
anything concrete, at least just a time frame when we could get proposals by and so the
13th, is that reasonable?
Meridian City Council

Watson: Madam President, Council Members, on my side of things, on the odor side, it
would only make sense to have Kruello Engineers, who is working on our facility plan,
look at this. You may have noticed the notice that went out today that's wrapping up our
overall facility plan over the next three or four weeks and they are cramming to get this
done, so it's going to be really difficult and I don't want to divert them from the task at
hand. Late January would be more appropriate.
De Weerd: January 27th?
Bird: That would be probably pretty good.
De Weerd: Okay. Anna, does work for you?
Powell: Well, I believe Public Works has volunteered to take on both the noise and the
odor studies and I could probably find a market consultant within that time, yes. Would
-- I guess I had a question. Would it need to be renoticed and reheard, because of the
new Councilor is it just a continued item? Is that going to affect things?
De Weerd: I don't know. As far as 11m concerned 11m talking about denying this now.
This would just be a new process to --
Powell: Okay.
De Weerd: -- say to the landowners when we can give them more concrete feedback on
if residential would ever be considered. We need more information as far as what
impact we have.
Powell: Okay. And, then, January should be fine, just -- I do want to just make it clear
that if the market study exceeds my budget for this year, it would up to you all as to
whether it got funded for next year. So, that would be just kind of a loose string as far as
my estimates go.
De Weerd: And I guess, Anna, once we get information back on the noise and the odor
and if it would be appropriate to consider any other use -- any residential use, I guess
that would be -- we need to know more about what the impact this planted has on the
proposed uses and how it would apply on -- considering any additional use and so at
that point we can open it up for discussion on the uses themselves for a more detailed
plan for that area.
Powell: Yes. Personally, I think, depending on the results of those two other studies, it
may solve the question of the market study. If it turns out that it's not going to impact
anybody to the north or to the west -- and I don't know whether or not that would be the
case, but just a what-if scenario, if it's not going to affect anybody to the north or the
west, then, you decrease the size of that area and maybe, really, a market study isn't
necessary at that point. So, the market study may not be warranted until we do have the
noise and the odor study.

De Weerd: Okay. And that sounds reasonable. Council, would you like to hear any
further testimony from the applicant?
Bird: I don't care. The Public Hearing is still open.
Centers: Jake Centers. I just -- as a property owner and applicant, you know, if the
results 0 f those stud ies, then, you could take that information and say, 0 kay, wed id
these studies and this is what we found and this is why we have determined to disallow
residential in this area, I could rationalize with that, more so than I can with just, well, we
didn't want to split up property lines and we just kind of did this thing around the plant.
De Weerd: And that's what Anna just said.
Centers: Right. So, I just wanted to make it clear that, you know, if you came back and
the information from, you know, consultants said, you know, yeah, I mean it's really loud
and smells really bad and this is the graph and what shows us that, you know, I mean I
would be satisfied with that and I think everybody, then, has some quantifiable
information that they can look at and say, yeah, I mean you guys made a good decision
and we can see the reasons why, so --
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you.
Centers: But, yeah, some kind of timeline as far as completion on it would be great.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. So, we will get that information on the 27th of January. If
you don't have proposals in hand, donlt worry, we just want to time frame.
Powell: So, Madam President, Members of the Council, just to clarify. Do you want me
to get estimates for a market study or should we wait?
De Weerd: Not at this point.
Powell: Thank you.
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: If we have no more Public Hearing applicants or anybody that wants to testify, I will
move that we close the Public Hearing on CPA 03-003, request for amendment to the
text of the Comprehensive Plan to show new residential uses within the mixed use
WWTP zoning designation for the proposed Stapleton Subdivision by Wardle and
Associates.
De Weerd: Okay. It's been moved and seconded.

De Weerd: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to rush you. To close the Public Hearing on Item 12,
CPA 03-003. All those in favor say aye. Okay. All ayes. Motion carried.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
De Weerd: Do I have a motion?
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I would move that we deny the approval of CPA 03-003, request for amendment to
the text of the Comprehensive Plan to allow new residential uses within the mixed use
WWTP zoning designation by proposed Stapleton Subdivision by Wardle and
Associates, 3680 West Ustick Road, for the reason of -- to give us time to do new
studies on our wastewater treatment plant for odor, noise, and et cetera, for the attorney
to draw up the Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law and Decision of Order.
McCandless: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. It's been moved and seconded to deny CPA 03-003 and for the
reasons of further study on noise and odor and ask the attorney to draw up Findings of
Facts and Conclusions of Law and Decision of Order. Mr. Clerk, will you call role?

Page 39 of 66
Item 15:
Continued Public Hearing from December 9, 2003: CUP 03-034
Request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Development for a 41-
lot subdivision to include a reduction in minimum size lots, size of homes,
minimum square footage on main floor of multi-level homes, and setbacks
in a proposed R-8 zone for proposed Stapleton Subdivision by Wardle
and Associates - 3680 West Ustick Road:
De Weerd: Mr. Nichols, on Items 13, 14 and 15, because we have denied any
amendment to the text to allow residential, 13, 14, and 15 are -- would not comply with
our Comprehensive Plan.
Nichols: Madam President, Members of the Council, the Comp Plan, though, is not the
same as the zoning ordinance and so the mere fact that the text in the Comprehensive
Plan does not allow the proposed use that the applicant is requesting is not controlling
and so you still have to take up these applications to see whether or not they are
acceptable to you. There is -- and so you take those up and we can discuss those one
by one. In fairness to Mr. Centers, though, the problem with taking these up, if you deny
them and he -- and, then, you later change the text and he wanted to come forward, he
would have to resubmit and go through the whole process again with the same
configuration and incur that expense all over again. So, just to note that.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Yeah. And I donlt want -- I don't want Mr. Centers to have do that, because that
doesn't make a lot of sense. I agree with Mr. Nichols. It would appear to me -- and I
guess I could be wrong next year, but it would appear to me that what we are talking
about is if -- if there is further information and further study and a decision is made by
the next Council that residential uses are viable in this area, I think that's the key that
Mr. Centers is looking for in the Camp Plan amendment. It appears at least from this
Council's perspective that that would be a Comp Plan amendment brought by the city,
by the applicant. Therefore, he wouldn't have to reapply. What I think we can -- I don't
know whether -- I think if he withdraws it, I think it's the same result as Mr. Nichols just
said, so I think the only way for him to not have to resubmit, although there may be
some redesign, depending on what these studies show, I think we have to continue
them. At least to a date certain -- at least to our January 27th meeting, so that we keep
it on the front burner as to what's going on with them. Unless you think Mr. -- unless --
we haven't opened the Public Hearing, but I don't want to certainly burden Mr. Centers
either, but that's the only way I think to make it track with what we are trying to
accomplish a nd, t hen, a gain, if wed ecide that is viable, h e h as an application that's
there, so --
De Weerd: Well, we are not going to know at the end of January.
Meridian City Council
December 16, 2003
Page 40 of 66
Nary: Oh, I know. But I mean that's the only way we can do that is to set it to the next
day that we know we are going to do something with this -- that relates to this
application. Mr. Nichols is right, I mean, otherwise, we need to take them up -- we need
to decide on whether or not we are going to deny them and Mr. Centers could start all
over again and resubmit fees and everything else. That may be the case. Ultimately, he
may have to redesign, I don't know. But at this juncture, you know, we are trying to be
fair and I don't know at this juncture we know exactly what we are going to end up with,
so -- and I think to be fair to Mr. Centers, we donlt know that these studies aren't going
to say that what he's proposed isn't viable and that's kind of what we have left hanging
is whether or not it is.
De Weerd: Mr. Nichols, is that viable? Is there any other options?
Nichols: Well, first, Madam President, Members of the Council, I saw that the planning
director would like to speak and so I'll give her her chance and, then, 1III see if I can
answer your question.
Powell: Madam President, it was, actually, advice from the City Council that Mr. Nichols
-- i n 0 ther states I know t hat long postponements have gotten cities i n quite a bit 0 f
trouble in that they were deemed as kind of almost like a filibuster, I guess. I don't know
how to really describe it. The applicants were -- wrong choice of words, perhaps, but
that it was viewed as the city really trying to avoid making a decision on apiece of
property and it got the cities in trouble and it's not a real specific recollection, so I can't
cite anything. But I'm just wondering if the city is opening themselves up to some
problems if they did do a long tabling, that the applicant might claim that we were just
refusing to make a decision.
Nichols: Madam President, Members of the Council, I donlt think so in this situation
where you're going to -- at least the discussion is to take it up at a date certain and see
whether or not there is going to be new information received, when it's going to be
received, the information that you believe is -- would be necessary, probably, even to
consider these applications without the text amendment. I mean there are some
planners who would bring forward these applications without a text amendment and just
simply say the Comprehensive Plan doesnlt have the same force as the zoning
ordinance and, therefore, you need to consider my application. Mr. Centers did it the
right way and there just isn't enough information, is what the Council has determined,
and they want to see more information. So, I would think that it's not a situation of just
stringing it out and continuing something forever, it would only be continuing it for the
purpose of receiving additional information data that the applicant, as well as the city,
could use in evaluating his proposal. The other thing is in terms the liability side, there is
no right to a rezone and so -- at least under Idaho law there is no right to a rezone. So,
if that's the case, continuing this in order to be able to get some more data to take up
the question of whether to rezone this property I don't think is a challengeable action.
And I think those other cases may have been ones where they just continued them
indefinitely and they didn't say specifically when they were going to take them up.

Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: You know, I think the one that's probably the most critical -- well, the two that are
probably the most critical here I think in Mr. Centers' situation are probably Items 14 and
15, because those are the ones that deal with the design and as along as Mr. Centers
understands -- I mean part of -- you know, we don't want to forget, part of what the cost
of those fees are is the city recouping the cost of analyzing the proposal to make sure
it's compliant. We may -- we may have to revisit that, depending on what information we
gather later and whether or not this particular project has to be redesigned to such a
degree that it's problematic for our staff to reevaluate it again based on the information
we have, but we just don't know and I think what we are trying to do is trying to be fair --
I mean Mr. Nichols I believe is absolutely right in that by setting this to a date certain, all
we have done is continue this matter and all the discussion has been is to basically
save Mr. Centers the necessity to resubmitting this project, incur more costs, when we
are still just trying to study whether or not what he's asked for is viable. So, I don't see it
being a problem. I think it's to Mr. Center's benefit for us to do that, unless he wants to
get up and say forget it, I will just withdraw it or start over. I guess we can -- he can
always withdraw it. He doesn't need our -- he doesn't have -- I guess he does need our
permission to do it, but I don't know that we are going to object if that's what he wants to
do, but --
De Weerd: Okay. Well, I will go ahead, then, and open the continued Public Hearing for
13, 14 and 15 on RZ 03-009, PP 03-019, and CUP 03-034. Open it for staff comments,
but I guess I would like to defer to the applicant to see what he would like to do as we
move forward here.
Centers: Jake Centers, 2011 --
De Weerd: I'm sorry, I have to swear you in.
Centers: That's all right.
De Weerd: Is the testimony you provide tonight the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, so help you God?
Centers: It is.
De Weerd: Thank you, Jake. Please state your name and address.
Centers: Jake Centers, 2011 Locust Grove. Yeah. I would like to take the route that Mr.
Nichols suggested and -- as long as I think whatever the January 27th date, if on that
date we would have the proposals back to do the studies, if on that date we can say,
okay, by, you know, February 27th those studies will be completed and on that date,
you know, we will rehear the text amendment and make a decision on that date, then,
Meridian City Council
December 16, 2003
Page 42 of 66
yeah, I mean I don't intend to file suit against the city to hold up my project, because,
you know, just -- if we set a specific date, then, that's -- 11m content with that, so --
De Weerd: Okay.
Centers: Appreciate that.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Since all I heard was I'm not going to sue the city, I'm going to go ahead and
move that we continue Items 13, 14 and 15, continue the public hearings on RZ 03-009,
request for rezone for Stapleton Subdivision, PP 03-019, request for preliminary plat for
Stapleton Subdivision, and CUP 03-034, the request for a Conditional Use Permit for
Stapleton Subdivision and all three hearings continued to our January 27th, 2004,
meeting.
Bird: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. It's been moved and seconded to continue the Public Hearing for RZ
03-009, PP 03-019, and CUP 03-034 to January 27th, 2004. Is there any further
discussion? Just a comment. It's not like he could sue us anyway. I just wanted that on
the record, that that is not why we are doing this, because he would have no basis. So,
anyway, all those in favor say aye. Okay. All ayes. Motion carried.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Item 16:
Public Hearing: V AC 03-006 Request for a Vacation of utility, drainage,
and irrigation easement on the south 10 feet of Lot 2, Block 6 of Turtle
Creek Subdivision No.1 by Tully Cove, LLC - west of North Linder Road
and south of West Ustick Road:
De Weerd: Okay. Item 16 Public Hearing V AC 03-006, request for vacation of a utility
drainage and irrigation easement on the south ten feet of Lot 2, Block 6, of Turtle Creek
Subdivision by Tully Cove, LLC. We will open with staff comments.
Powell: Madam President, Members of the Council, the proposed vacation is the result
of a replatting of a piece of property. This is the Turtle Creek and Tully Cove
Subdivisions as they are now preliminary platted. Here you see the dark line that
represents the former easement that was on the Turtle Creek Subdivision. When it was
replatted for Tully Cove, that easement was adjusted and no longer necessary, so staff
is recommending approval to come forward with a recommendation for approval from
Meridian City Council
December 16, 2003
Page 43 of 66
the Planning and Zoning Commission as well. There were no members of the public
testified at the vacation hearing for the Planning and Zoning.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Any questions? Okay. Is the applicant here? Is the
testimony you provide tonight the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so
help you God?
McCallister: It is.
De Weerd: Thank you. Please state your name and address.
McCallister: Jeff McCallister, 5388 North Coaster Avenue, Boise, Idaho.
De Weerd: Thank you. Do you agree with all staff comments?
McCallister: Yes.
De Weerd: Okay. Do you have anything you would like to add?
McCallister: Not at this time, no. I think we are in agreement with the staff and I donlt
think there is anything else to add.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you very much. Any questions for the applicant? Thank you.
McCallister: Thank you.
De Weerd: Okay. Is there anyone who would like to testify on this application? Thank
you. Okay. Council, would you like to close the Public Hearing?
Bird: I would love to, Madam President.
De Weerd: Is that a motion?
Bird: I move that we close Public Hearing V AC 03-006, the request for the vacation of a
utility drainage and irrigation assessment -- easements -- geez -- on the south ten feet
of Lot 2, Block 6, of Turtle Creek Subdivision NO.1 by Tulley Cove, LLC, west of North
Linder Road and south of West Ustick Road.

Meridian City Council

De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move that we approve V AC 03-006, the request for the vacation of a utility
drainage and irrigation easements on the south ten feet of Lot 2, Block 6, of Turtle
Creek Subdivision No. 1 by Tulley Creek, LLC, west of North Linder Road and south of
West Ustick Road and for the attorney to draw up the Findings of Facts and
Conclusions of Law and Decision of Order.
McCandless: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. It's been moved and seconded to approve V AC 03-006 with the
request for the attorney to draw up Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law and
Decision of Order. Mr. Clerk, will you call roll?
Roll-Call: McCandless, yea; Nary, yea; de Weerd, yea; Bird, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Items 17 and 18 appear to be together. Can I open the
two at the same time?
Powell: Before you open the hearing, the applicant has requested that you move them
to after Item 20. In talking with one of the people that was here to testify tonight, they felt
it appropriate to get some renderings of the buildings that will be used, so they have
gone off to get them. So, they asked me to request that of you.
Item 19:
Public Hearing: CUP 03-056 Request for a Conditional Use Permit for
an indoor soccer center in an existing business park in a n I-L zone for
Meridian Soccer C enter by Meridian Soccer Property - south of East
Franklin Road, west of South Locust Grove Road on East Piper Court:
De Weerd: Okay. Council, do you have any problem with that? Okay. We will go ahead
and skip Item 17 and 18 and consider Item 19, Public Hearing CUP 03-056, request for
a Conditional Use Permit for an indoor soccer center in an existing building for a
business park in an I-L zone for Meridian Soccer Center and I will open with staff
comments.
Powell: Sorry. Madam President, Members of the Council. This is a unique land use. It
is an indoor recreation facility and they have requested to go in an industrial zone. It's
currently vacant. This is the proposed building pad site layout. They do have an
entrance here, several parking bays, and, then, a turnaround area for large trucks or fire
department. Staff did work with them for making sure that it could be used as an
Meridian City Council
December 16, 2003
Page 45 of 66
industrial building at sometime if needed in the future as well. This is the elevations for
the structure. The landscaping plan. This does come forward to you with a
recommendation of approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission. No one
testified in opposition to the project at the Planning and Zoning Commission. One
member of the public did testify in support of the project. There were no changes to
staff's recommendation done by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The primary
areas of discussion were regarding a shared parking agreement. The summary that you
have received from Wendy Kirkpatrick stated that the applicant was unable to obtain a
cross-access agreement. That was the case at the time she wrote the memo. They
have since been able to obtain a cross-access agreement from several of the adjoining
properties, so they are able to support enough parking and what staff was concerned
about is they have two kind of -- two teams are, obviously, using the facility at any time
and we were just concerned about the overlap of when two other teams might be
arriving. So, they have sufficient parking on site to accommodate the two teams, it
would just be if there was any overlap if "someone came a little early. So, the shared
parking has resolved that issue. And that's really the end of staff's comments and just to
say that it did come forward with a recommendation for approval.
De Weerd: Thank you. And I appreciate the clarification. Being a parent of an indoor
soccer player, I was going to ask those questions, because the lack of parking was a
concern for that overlapped reason.
Powell: Well - - a nd you can talk to t he applicant. When they weren't able to get the
cross-parking - - cross-access - - 0 r parking agreement, they d id s tate that they could
add 20 additional spots and they didn't seem too concerned about it, so if that is a
concern of Council, I think that they do have an opportunity to add some spaces on the
existing site plan, but --
De Weerd: If there is a plan in place, that's all I care about.
Powell: Okay.
De Weerd: So, any other questions?
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I guess on the same issue with parking, I mean is the parking adequate for not
just the teams, but for patrons in addition to that? I mean, obviously, there is other
people that come to watch soccer besides the players and you talked about overlap, so
I wondered if there was adequate parking on site -- felt there was at least adequate for
the teams, as well as other --
Powell: We did discuss that and I do want to clarify that this is not for children's soccer,
it is adult soccer. So, they don't have the expectations of a lot of spectators. They do
Meridian City Council
December 16, 2003
Page 46 of 66
anticipate that most spectators would be arriving with somebody 0 n the team. If not,
they would be fairly limited. So, their calculations did not include a lot spectator parking,
but some.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Powell: And this is -- this use is not accounted for in the zoning ordinance at all, so we
had no standards to go by, so -- the applicant has been forthcoming in what -- what their
needs have been at other facilities and we have relied primarily on their assessment.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you, Anna. Okay. Is the applicant here? Is the testimony you
provide tonight the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Main: I do.
De Weerd: Thank you. Please state your name and address.
Main: Jim Main, 414 South Sailor, Kuna, Idaho. Madam President, Members of the City
Council, I have a handout here if I could give that to you.
De Weerd: Okay.
Main: At the Planning and Zoning meeting there was some concern about the parking
and we did agree to try to enter into a shared parking agreement with some of the local
businesses. 0 n t he first page is a summary - - t he first page 0 f t he packet is a staff
summary for the recommendation to the City Council and the bottom line, which I
highlighted, says staff is supportive of this additional parking with the shared parking
agreements. The second page -- what we have done is we have revised the site and we
have actually added 24 parking spaces to the site without impacting the city's
landscaping requirements. When we initially did this site layout, we based it on what the
Spokane Soccer Center, which is a similar -- a similar type of facility, sees in their use.
Additionally, we couldn't get the shared parking agreements or we didn't seem we were
going to much luck to do that, but since, then, on pages three and four, we do have two
companies there which are willing to give us an agreement for 16 spaces each, which
would add 32 spaces to that. The second to the last page is the elevation, which you
saw on the screen. And the last page was the initial site plan which was submitted. Our
feeling is that if we could get the approval with the additional parking spaces, that we
not be required to enter into the shared parking agreements. With that, if you have any
questions regarding the plan or the function of the facility, I would be glad to answer
those.
De Weerd: So, you feel comfortable with the new proposed plan --
Main: Yes.
De Weerd: -- of the additional parking?
Meridian City Council
December 16, 2003
Page 47 of 66
Main: Yes.
De Weerd: Well, that would certainly be my preference, so -- over the shared parking.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I guess I'm not sure what's the problem with having both. I mean if you already
have the parking -- I can't imagine the need of the other ones, but you have two
neighbors who are willing to allow you to use it. What does it matter if we -- if we require
it?
Main: I guess it really doesn't.
Nary: Oh. Okay.
Main: We, basically, have the agreements with them.
Nary: Sure. I mean I think you're probably right, but I just -- since you have got an
agreement, why not just leave them in place.
De Weerd: Okay.
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: He's also offered to put in this new on-location parking and, then -- but the original
deal was he could -- he didn't have to put the additional parking on his if he didn't want
to, if he got the these cross-deals. So, I don't know -- I'm sure they are not giving the
cross things to you for free, are they?
Main: I believe they are.
Bird: Oh, they are. Okay.
Main: I believe so.
Bird: Good.
Main: The function of this facility is adult soccer and adult soccer is evenings and
weekends. So, it works well in this type of an area, because you can use adjacent
parking, as long as you have the agreement.
Meridian City Council
December 16, 2003
Page 48 of 66
De Weerd: Well, I was very excited about this not for adults.
Main: Right. It's nothing like you see on Eagle and Fairview.
Nary: And I guess my only -- Madam President, my only concern is this operator
probably is adequate, but the operator could change, the use can change, and if you
don't have the shared parking, there could be a parking problem, and so if you require it
and they are already in place, it's not going to be -- and if you change it, because you
find that the market now wants, you know, high school age soccer on some of these or
maybe a tournament or something, then, all of a sudden we have a problem. So, to me,
if you can have your cake and eat it, too, why not do that.
Main: And I don't see any problem with that.
De Weerd: Okay.
Main: We increased the parking on site when we thought we couldn't get the
agreements and now that we -- we have both, I donlt see any problem with it.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Any other questions? Okay.
Nichols: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Mr. Main, just to be sure, this new revised site plan is dated December 1 st; is
that correct?
Main: Yes, it is.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to testify on this
application? Council? I said Council, not staff. Anna. Yes.
Powell: Madam President, before you might proceed to any motions, this is the first I
have seen of this revised site plan, so we haven't evaluated it to see if it complies with
all the provisions of the parking and landscape ordinance. Offhand it does look like it
does, so I don't see a need for Council to table it, but I just want to make sure that you
leave a little wiggle room to say that it would be this site plan as modified -- as modified
to meet the parking requirements and the landscape ordinance. Or parking lot
requirements and the landscape ordinance.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Nary: I move to close the Public Hearing.
De Weerd: Do I have a second?

Bird: Oh. Second.
De Weerd: It's been moved and seconded to close the Public Hearing on Item CUP 03-
056. All those in favor say aye. Okay. All ayes. Motion carried.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: If we have no discussion, I would move that we approve CUP 03-056, request for
a Conditional Use Permit for an indoor soccer center in an existing business park in an
I-L zone for the Meridian Soccer Center by Meridian Soccer Property, south of East
Franklin Road, west of South Locust Grove Road, on East Piper Court. Also, the revised
plat is dated December 1 st, 2003, and will meet with the approval, as long as the
landscaping, with the addition of more parking, the landscaping meets our ordinance,
and for the attorney to draw up the Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law and
Decision of Order and incorporate staff, Planning and Zoning, and applicant te$timony.
Nary: Second.
De Weerd: It's been moved and --
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Yeah.
Nary: Well, I just wanted to make sure that when Mr. Bird says staff comments, that
includes maintaining the shared parking agreement, since there was that --
Bird: That was all testimony.
Nary: Great. Thank you.
De Weerd: It's been moved and seconded to approve CUP 03-056, with the notation of
the plat update of 12/1/2003 and also the -- the new parking would meet the appropriate
codes and the shared parking agreements would still be in force and the appropriate
paperwork from the attorney. I didn't want to repeat the whole thing. Did I hit the
highlights? Okay. Mr. Clerk, will you call roll.
Roll-Call: McCandless, yea; Nary, yea; de Weerd, yea; Bird, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.

Item 20:
Public Hearing: CUP 03-053 Request for a Conditional Use Permit for
development of a 2,800 square foot bank with drive-thru and future retail
tenant with drive-thru in a C-C zone for Key Bank by CSHQA - south of
East Overland Road and west of South Eagle Road:
De Weerd: Okay. Item 20, Public Hearing CUP 03-053, request for a Conditional Use
Permit for a development of a 2,800 square foot bank with drive-thru and future retail
tenant with drive-thru in a C-C zone for Key Bank by Craig and I will open the Public
Hearing with staff comments.
Powell: Madam President, Members of the Council, this is, I believe, the first project to
come through in Bonita, aka EI Dorado Subdivision. The property is, obviously, currently
vacant. This is the site plan as proposed. And, actually, it's a little tricky, because they
are, actually, asking you to approve a site plan and an alternative site plan. The first site
plan does include a retail component on the west side of the building. There we go. And
a drive-thru that comes -- wraps around like this as well. If they are not able to find a
tenant for that, they have asked just to be allowed to do this site plan, which just has the
facility here and a large landscape buffer around it. This is the Key Bank facility in this
location. They do have four drive-up -- three drive-up windows associated with that
facility and that was true on both -- both layouts. Excuse me. On this layout as well.
That's the only substantial difference between the two site plans. This does come
forward to you with a recommendation for approval from the Planning and Zoning
Commission. The key issues of discussion were whether or not to prohibit fast food in
the future tenant space on the west side of the property, if they went with that
alternative, and the discussion kind of went back and forth and in the end it was decided
that that prohibition was not needed and there was -- no one spoke in opposition to the
project and Mr. Slocum did testify in favor of the application. So, there are no
outstanding issues before the City Council and I'll end staffs comments with that.
De Weerd: Okay. So, there is two choices here? This is a new one.
Powell: Well, they are asking that you give them two choices, they are not asking you to
make a choice.
De Weerd: I understand that.
Powell: Okay.
De Weerd: Okay. Any questions for staff? Okay. Is the testimony you provide tonight the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Slocum: Yes, it is.
De Weerd: Please state your name and address?
Meridian City Council

Slocum: Craig Slocum, 250 South 5th, Boise, Idaho, here representing Key Bank. We
have reviewed the staff report and the conditions of approval with our client and take no
exception and would stand for questions.
De Weerd: Any questions?
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Since I got the tail end -- so is this the plan you're wanting or was there another
one you --
De Weerd: No. There is two.
Slocum: There are two plans that we have submitted. The request that we have is that
both of them be approved that will allow Key Bank to -- if they can find a tenant for that
1 ,500 square feet, they would build it, and if at the time they were ready to start
construction didn't have a tenant, they may choose not to construct it. At this point in
time they are in discussions with a few tenants, but donlt have a lease signed.
Nary: So, essentially, Mr. Slocum, what you're wanting is us to approve it with the drive-
thru and if you opt not to build a drive-thru, you're not going to be required to build one;
is that right?
De Weerd: Two drive-thrus.
Nary: Well, you're going to have the drive-thru for the bank. I was talking about the other
side.
Slocum: That is correct.
Nary: If we approve it with a drive-thru and if you opt not to do that, it's not going to
significantly change your site plan, is it?
Slocum: It does not. We have provided elevations and a landscape plan for either
option.
Nary: I just hate approving two different options. I guess I was just thinking if you opt not
to build a drive-thru, why would we care? We would approve a site plan that h ad a
drive-thru in it. If you opted not to do that, then, so what. But we can't really approve two
options, because our findings are going to look goofier than they sometimes do anyway.
It's our fault, not yours. But I mean I think it would be very confusing to any other user. I
think all we need to approve is -- I think what you really probably want us to do is
approve it with the drive-thru for the other side and if you don't get a tenant for it, then)
just donlt build it.

Slocum: But would that not, I guess, be not in compliance with the conditional use?
Nary: If it's your preliminary plat, when you come -- are you going to come -- they are
not going to do anymore platting or anything?
Slocum: There is a lot line adjustment that is a condition of approval, which is staff level.
Nary: And the condition could say that the applicant has the option not to build a drive-
thru. That's probably good enough.
Slocum: And the additional square footage is -- there is a difference between the two
site plans. Reduction in the square footage, as well as the drive-thru.
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Mr. Nary, I respect you on these -- on your opinion on this, but I don't see where
we are hurting anything by approving it one way or the other. Why not -- why can't both
of them -- when they come in to get their building permit, they will either get a building
permit for one building or they will get a building permit for a building with X amount of
square footage for the retail and for the other drive-thru. So, I can't -- I don't know why
we can't give them the leniency of that. I mean it's not going to be as if it's going to carry
on for a year, because once they get the building permit, then, it's over with, as far as
I'm -- as far as I see. In the first place, I don't think it's feasible for them to add on at a
later date, probably. So, I don't see what the problem -- why we cantt approve it with
both plans sitting out there.
Nary: Well, because -- Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I guess the problem is is that the standard we want to set for applications? If they
can bring us in two different options and you will figure it out later and we are going to
approve alternate plans, when we generally don't do that, we generally don't give
people alternate plans. They pick one or the other. So, what I'm saying is is all hets
picking is whether or not to have a drive-thru or not. You know, the size of the building --
Slocum: Is different.
Bird: How much different?
Slocum: 1 ,500 square feet.
De Weerd: Can you show the other one, Anna?
Meridian City Council
December 16, 2003
Page 53 of 66
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: And does that have enough parking. They both comply on parking, then.
Slocum: Yes.
De Weerd: Okay. Mr. Bird.
Bird: Yeah. Bill, I -- that's why I -- we are running a CUP. It's not as if we are doing a
final plat or, you know, or running something else. It is a CUP that we are running this
through on where we do have control over it and stuff. I don't see any problems if they
find a tenant and can add a 1 ,500 square foot retail -- and it don't necessarily -- they just
want the drive-thru. They might find a retail outlet that don't want a drive-thru.
Nichols: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nichols.
Nichols: Madam President, Members of the Council, just -- an argument for the two site
plans would be that if you -- if you go with the site plan, just the one that has the extra
drive-thru, but t ell the applicant h e h as t he ability to come in a nd request abuilding
permit of less than that and not build a drive-thru, your site plan isn't going to match up
with what the building permit shows. If you give him -- if he's fixed with the two options,
that has to be resolved, you know, and the one he picks at the time the building permit
is applied for, then, staff, when they go to review for compliance, they have got a site
plan, they have got a landscape plan, all of those things fit, and so I was originally
leaning towards the -- just the one and they can scale it back, but, then, how does staff
look at it to see where everything is placed. And so I think it makes it more difficult.
Slocum: A nd that w as - - it is a specific - - t he two a Iternatives a re specific. They will
either build one or the other, so -- and when we discussed it with staff, that's when we
made the determination to go ahead and provide a complete set of building elevations
for both options and a complete landscape plan for both options, so that you could
approve both in their entirety. It's just a scaled down version.
De Weerd: Okay. Any other questions?
Powell: Madam President, Members of the Council, I guess just to give Mr. Slocum a
little support, it was probably me that suggested in this first place, because if they came
to me and asked me if this was in substantial compliance with this, my initial reaction
would be, yes, because it's a lessor use. However, w here one provides a retail use,
most likely a food use, and a bank use, if that's what the Council really thought they
were approving and that's what they really wanted on this site and they wouldn't have
allowed the Key Bank to go through unless it had it, I mean these are questions that
usually don't come up during the hearing. So, I felt it better that the applicant be honest
(

with you to say that, you know, perhaps this use could -- might go away. I think that Mr.
Nichols brought up some good reasons as to why we would want to include both site
plans. If the Council is uncomfortable with that, if you could just maybe state for the
record that it would -- the alternative site plan without the retail use and the drive-thru
would still be in compliance with the approved conditional use application and you
should probably mention the parking on the south side of the property as well. But if
there is that statement, then, that will make it easier for me to do that. Just raising the
issue and having it on the public record was a large part of bringing both alternatives
forward to you.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Since I'm the one that's beating this horse, I think I concur with what everyone has
said. I think it's probably no different than all the concept plans we see for Silverstone
across the street. This is, actually, more detailed than what we have received and since
it really is one or the other and not anything in between, although we do hear that a lot,
too, but I think it probably is not inconsistent with how we have approved other types of
concepts in these type of business parks. So, I think we are fine.
De Weerd: Thank you. Is there any further testimony? Okay. Council?
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I move we close the Public Hearing.
Bird: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. It's been moved and seconded to close Public Hearing on CUP 03-
053. All those in favor say aye. Okay. All ayes. Motion carried.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I'd move the approval of CUP 03-053, the request for a Conditional Use Permit for
development of a 2,800 square foot bank with drive-thru and future retail tenant with
drive-thru in a C-C zone for Key Bank by CSHQA, south of East Overland Road and
west of South Eagle Road, to include all staff comments, testimony, with both
alternative site plans that are included as part of the staff comments, to be approved

McCandless: Second.
Bird: One question, Madam President.
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: That does -- in your future retail you do allow a drive-thru; right?
Nary: Yes.
Bird: Okay.
Nary: Yes. As presented here on our staff report.
De Weerd: Okay. It's been moved and seconded to approve CUP 03-053, with all staff
comments and as stated by Mr. Nary. Mr. Clerk, will you call roll?

Item 17:
Public Hearing: PP 03-030 Request for Preliminary Plat approval of 48
residential lots, 21 office lots, and 7 other lots on 14.58 acres in an L-O
zone for proposed Saqe Crest fka Maverick Subdivision by Dirk
Marcum and Michael Riggs - south of East Overland Road on the west
side of Millennium Way:
Item 18: Public Hearing: CUP 03-045 Request for a Conditional Use Permit to
modify existing Planned Unit Development to allow for office uses along
Overland Road and Millennium Way in an L-O zone for proposed Saqe
Crest fka Maverick Subdivision by 0 irk Marcum a nd Michael Riggs-
south of East Overland Road on the west side of Millennium Way:
De Weerd: Okay. We will move back to Items 17 and 18. If there is no opposition, I will
open both 17 and 18. Hearing none, I will open Public Hearing PP 03-030, request for
preliminary plat approval of 48 residential lots, 21 office lots, and seven other lots on
14.58 acres in an L-Q zone for Sagecrest, formerly known as Maverick Subdivision, and
the Public Hearing for CUP 03-045, request for a Conditional Use Permit to modify
existing planned unit development to a Ilow for office uses along Overland Road and
Millennium Way in an L-O zone for Sagecrest, fka Maverick Subdivision. I will open with
staff comments.
Powell: Madam President, Members of the Council, this is in the Millennium Subdivision
and it was a previously platted lot. They are coming back to replat this lot. This is the
/
Meridian City Council

Page 56 of 66
proposed layout. The original conceptual plan -- well, let me back up. Sorry. It's 14.48
acres in size. The applicant is proposing a number of office lots along Millennium Way
and also along Overland. The remainder of the property would be developed in
apartment buildings. There is one cross -- staff has asked for cross-access agreements
-- or allowances going this way to the east, as well as to the west, across the Hunter
Lateral. When the Millennium Subdivision came through, the conceptual use permit for
that property did identify this lot as being used for an apartment complex. It was -- had
200 apartments on it -- apartment units. They are now requesting 192. So, a very slight
reduction in the number of apartment dwellings, but they have also added 21 office lots.
So, it is a more intense use than was originally anticipated with the conceptual use
approval. They have a Iso changed the nature of that apartment complex. They were
originally proposed as kind of a big house style and now they have gone to kind of a
more typical apartment style that we see in the Meridian area. Those were the previous
elevations and these are the proposed elevations for this project. Staff did want to bring
that up to you, just so you had some basis on your previous decision to allow apartment
uses on this property. The project as proposed does meet the zoning ordinance. They
have asked for a number of waivers regarding the minimum frontage, the minimum
setbacks for the L-O zone, and also the minimum lot size for both multi-family and office
lots. They have provided the required buffers -- or I mean the required amenities. I
believe the landscaping is one of them, a s well as a clubhouse a t the center of the
project. It comes forward to you with a recommendation from -- of approval from the
Planning and Zoning Commission. The applicant's representative Kent Brown spoke at
the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing and he is here tonight. Or was previously.
I think he's back. No members of the public testified in opposition. The key issues of
discussion revolved around the proposed office lots, the cross-access provisions and,
then, just the clarification of the name change from Maverick to Sagecrest. The
Planning and Zoning Commission did not make significant additions or modifications to
staff recommendations or to the site plan as presented to them. And with that, I will end
staff comments.
De Weerd: Counsel, any questions? Okay. Is the applicant -- is the testimony you
provide tonight the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Brown: It is.
De Weerd: Thank you. Please state your name and address.
Brown: Kent Brown. 1800 West Overland, Boise, Idaho.
De Weerd: Thanks.
Brown: Some of the aspects -- we have right here the clubhouse. We have a pool here.
And a playground area here. One of the other aspects that we have tried to take
advantage of with the site is to provide pedestrian walkways along the southerly
boundary here and up the side. It allows the office users to continue to use that, if you
will, an on-site green belt, be able to tie back in at locations like this for the residents.
Meridian City Council

Page 57 of 66
We go in between the office and the apartments here and, then, tie back into the
sidewalk area there. The landscaping around the perimeter is already installed with the
Resolution Subdivision, but this is Lot 6 in Resolution. The staff said that in the original
CU that there was a connection for access with our neighbors to the west and
suggested that we make that in the office area, so we modified our plan, reduced the
number of offices, and provided that connection. Meeting Craig Groves out in the hall,
Craig would prefer that we not have a cross-connection between the two. I thought that
that was going to be our only issue with them. We did discuss -- I believe it's item seven
on the staff report that speaks to this condition. Item six speaks to this access in the
preliminary plat conditions on page three. We create a buffer from Overland with the
office uses here and, then, along Millennium. Each one of those buildings would, then,
come back with an individual CU for your approval at that time. There is a detailed CU
approval on the apartments. We do have individual units, four-plex units, that are typical
of what's done in Meridian. My applicant clients, they are here and are able to speak to
the quality of the unit that they are proposing to be built. This site was approved with a
large house concept with garages. I think it's been three years and they were unable to
-- I mean the user is the one that sold the lot to us and we are submitting it, because,
obviously, they couldn't build it. Most of those were ten-plexes with garages and I have
even used that same similar plan before, you know, call them executive users. Most of
our units are two bedroom. We find that that's what the need in the market is and we
feel that this is a great location. We have an office -- or an office zone, an L-Q zone, and
would ask for you approval. I would stand for any questions you might have.
De Weerd: Council, any questions?
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Could you put that site plan back -- I was just curious, Mr. Brown, on the -- on this
pathway here, it seems like that's going to be a fairly secluded path. I'm concerned with
the high school right here and whether or not -- I guess how that's going to be visible
from a safety and security standpoint, because I don't know what these fences are,
these buildings, what it's going to look like, so --
Brown: There really isn't any fences to the back of each one of those units. There would
be, as required by your code, a hundred foot of private patio space, if you will, but, then,
a common lawn area, then, just a pathway between the back of the landscaping,
between the two units. I mean if you have --
Nary: Is there fencing here of some sort?
Brown: There is no fence.
Nary: No fence at all?
Meridian City Council
December 16, 2003
Page 58 of 66
Brown: No fence at all. And on the. south there is an existing chain link fence along the
school property with no openings to the school site. The only way that school students
would be able to access is coming around the fence and around that end. As you look
at the school site, there is quite some distance between there and where the school
buildings themselves are. This is adjacent to the parking area. There is a 50 to 75 foot
strip of grass that's in there between that and the parking lot. So, I mean this -- as you
would walk along there with the chain link fence, six foot chain link fence on your south
side, I mean you're looking at a big space. I mean it would seem very open. And, then,
along the Hunter Lateral you would have that same feeling. Looking at Mr. Grove's plan
for the Resolution stuff to the west of us, this connection here, they have a stub road
that's located right here and, then, they come in and they create a triangle of
landscaping that's in there and I can see why he wouldn't want that connection in there.
Does that answer --
Nary: Uh-huh. It does. Thank you.
De Weerd: Okay. Anything further? Thank you. Okay. Is there anyone else that would
like to testify? Is the testimony you provide tonight the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, so help you God?
Honeymiller: Yes, it is.
De Weerd: Thank you. Please state your name and address.
Honeymiller: I'm Russ Honeymiller, 3299 Davis Drive, Meridian. I'm part owner and will
be one of the builders in it and as far as the four-plexes, they are typical, but we are
working to try and get them to look real good on the exterior, like stucco and stone or
brick, and that way. And the clubhouse, I do have a few deals here I can let you look at.
We will not be doing any vinyl siding at all and we are willing to work with whoever.
Now, these are individual lots and we will be maybe selling them as -- well, there could
be possibly 48 owners. We will have a homeowners association within a homeowners
association and the reason we are having it for this here, there would only be one outfit
that takes care of all of the exteriors, so if this owner can't keep his property up,
everybody else will and take it up that way. And I do feel that we buffering ourselves,
that we will blend in with the neighborhood as far as -- as far as the office buildings, they
will blend in and -- let's see. Here is a little sketch here that has -- down there in the
office building and clubhouse also. There is 19 office buildings, instead of 21, and there
is adequate parking for the office buildings and the apartments. Now, we do not have
garages, which the one that was previously approved did have garages, but there is just
not that much need for when you get up 12, 13 hundred a month for a unit, it's just
unfeasible for us as a builder and developer. So, that's why we went to this concept and
would like your approval.
De Weerd: Thank you, Russ. Any questions? Thank you. These look nice. Okay. Is
there any further testimony? Is the testimony you provide the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth, so help you God?

Groves: Yes, it is.
De Weerd: Thank you. Please state your name and address.
Groves: Craig Groves. 6223 North Discovery Way, Boise. Madam Chair -- Chairwoman,
Council, I'm here representing Resolution Business Park, LLC, one of the original
grantors of this development, the Resolution Business Park property owners
association, and the Overland 16, LLC, who owns ground to the west. Our
representative that we hired to testify this evening, Becky McKay, who was the original
land planner on this project, was not able to come this evening, so I was delegated the
duty. Our concern with what's before you is when we were reviewing the testimony at
P&Z, we realized that there was no real -- nobody in opposition or questioning in this
project and we wanted to bring forward to you some of the history of the preliminary plat
for this Resolution Business Park. In 2000 -- the fall of 2000, this City Council approved
Resolution Business Park, the preliminary plat. You took a look at six applications
during that approval. You looked at an application for annexation, rezone, preliminary
plat, you looked for a CUP for an ice hockey rink, you looked at a CUP for the big house
project from SMC Properties. A month before you approved this project, you also looked
at another apartment project at the northwest corner of Locust Grove and Overland. It
was a project that, I believe, was about 15 units to the acre, it had garages, it was a nice
looking project, but you had a room full of owners from Sportsman Pointe, Meridian
Greens, Salmon Rapids, Los Alametos, opposing the project and you denied that
project. We came forward a month later with the big house concept, a concept that was
designed ~or renters by choice, versus renters by need. We had the same room full of
questions. Nobody in the room questioned the commercial zoning on the corner of
Locust Grove and Overland, nobody questioned the ice hockey rink, nobody questioned
the school, because that was part of the application. The only thing they looked at was
the apartments. You're looking at this application today, because you were only required
-- the applicant was only required to notify people within a 300 foot radius and those
people happened to be the current lot owners in Resolution Business Park and
Overland 16. It didn't extend out to Sportsman Pointe and the reason it didn't extend out
to Sportsman Pointe is because you have the Overland 16 property next to it. Our
concern is not with the apartment use or the office use, our concern, from Resolution
Business Park, LLC, the original developer, our concern is that we sold many homes --
many office lots in this business park to Idaho Central Credit Union, Treasure Valley
Pediatrics, we have got an oral surgeon, we have got a general dentist, we have got an
orthodontist, we have a pedidontist, we have an application that's going to come forward
here in another 60 days for another medical use of -- in excess of 10,000 square feet on
the old ice hockey rink site and we have sold all those parcels based on a big house
concept. This -- that's our concern as the original developers. As the property owners
association, our concern is that this site is subject to covenants, conditions, and
restrictions. It does allow for the applicant to do a resubdivision and it does allow the
applicant to have an subassociation, but I think that there is some things that need to be
addressed if we move forward with a subassociation, particularly since the applicant
intends on selling off these four-plexes to individual investors. Okay. How does the
(
Meridian City Council
December 16, 2003
Page 60 of 66
overall mixed use development interact with each other? How do we maintain the
frontage of the Overland Road. That's the view corridor into the city. How do we
maintain just -- how do we work together. That's not been addressed and we'd like that
addressed before t his application is a pproved. I have with mea packet of what was
approved. One other tenant that we -- or one other owner in the Resolution Business
Park that we haven't addressed is Builder's Interiors and Corey Barton Homes out on
Overland Road there. I think the project -- I think the project could fit within the mixed
use development, but I think there is some unanswered questions that need to be
addressed before its final approval. Thank you.
De Weerd: Any questions? Is there any further testimony? Okay. Kent.
Brown: Some 0 f the things that have changed since the 0 riginal approval, you have
adopted a Comprehensive Plan that designates this area as apartment use. I think that
that makes it different from when the original approvals with the other properties that Mr.
Groves spoke about that came in and were denied. Yes, obviously, someone -- I mean
residents don't like apartments and you have had numerous applications throughout the
city that everybody thinks that an apartment dweller is substandard to a single detached
one and you have had those over the years. The things that make this work very well
and I think protects the city and addresses the concerns that Mr. Groves spoke about, is
the Overland and Millennium will be reviewed by you on each individual building with a
conditional use. Obviously, that's a lot more work for your staff than us coming in and
saying this is how we are going to build each one of those buildings. The approval is
specifically on the apartments and not -- the conditional use detailed approval was on
the apartments and not on the individual units that are office. The other aspect that
makes this work very well is that any of the office uses and any of the medical facilities
and other offices that Mr. Groves spoke about, I'm sure that there is a few people that
are going to live in here that are going to need a dentist, they are going to need an
orthodontist, and from a traffic standpoint, you're doing all of that vehicle traffic capturing
by having those people close to where you -- where you live and those are the aspects
that the city, t he new urbanism, and everything else says, you know, that's w hy you
want that mixed type of use. And those make these office users and these apartment
dwellers, if you will, good neighbors. Offices, you know, are gone when usually the
residents from the apartments are there. There is other projects and Mr. Groves office is
near an apartment complex thafs along Chinden. I mean those -- those uses are very
compatible and they have been used and will continue to be used throughout the valley.
I think I addressed all the issues that have been raised and would stand for any
questions if I missed something.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Just so I'm clear, Mr. Brown, if I understood the staff report and the testimony, the
previous approved concept that -- the 200 big house apartments, that did not include
the office? All of that was apartment?
Meridian City Council
December 16, 2003
Page 61 of 66
Brown: All the whole site was apartments, Yes.
Nary: Okay. So, basically, the redesign is the office buildings, as well as the apartments,
just a different style of apartments?
Brown: A different style of apartment and a different way of -- I guess in our opinion is
buffering those corridors and protecting those streets by putting the office users out
along those corridors.
Nary: Okay.
Brown: There is a big project that is near HP that is out by Mr. Grove's office. When we
were doing the north Meridian planning, that was one of the ones that kept coming up
and being discussed is you got all this traffic going by, you know, these users, even
though they are apartment dwellers, you know, they should have, you know, some
protection. I mean we are creating that buffer by having those office uses and protecting
them with a quiet use. You had a number of discussions that went on against my own
neighborhood with Chevron and Texaco and those uses and it was determined that
office uses, once again, were very good next to single family and we feel that these two
uses and the way that we have put them together kind of marries, you know, their
aspects.
De Weerd: Thank you, Kent.
Brown: Thanks.
De Weerd: Okay. Council? I was on Planning and Zoning when that one apartment
complex was denied. P&Z approved it and it was a nice -- I think the difference between
that project and the one that was later approved was they had some subsidized housing
in there, which was one thing that the neighbors really took issue with and so it's hard to
compare what was being proposed there and what's being proposed here. I do like the
buffering of the office and it really fits within what additionally is being proposed in that
whole area. You know, I was disappointed not to see the ice hockey rink. So, you know,
things change as the market changes. I don't have an issue with this -- with this
application. It's got some nice amenities. It will -- the pathway will be used by the kids,
without a doubt, and whatever office uses are going to be up there north of the
apartments, it's a way to get foot traffic around there as well, so I don't have any issue
with it.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Yeah. I guess I would concur. I think the apartment use here is a change, but it's
not a significant change. I like this big house concept, but three years nobody's __
Meridian City Council
December 16, 2003
Page 62 of 66
nobody leaves their ground empty for three years, unless there really is something that
can get built. So, I think this -- the uses and the buffering are positive. I understand
where Mr. Groves is coming from and his clients and other property owners certainly
aren't in favor of more businesses across the street, but I think overall it's still a good
concept that's being proposed here and I think the uses are going to be compatible and
I think they will be compatible with the uses that are across Millennium Way the other
way, as well as in Resolution to the west. I don't really see this as really being
problematic, so --
De Weerd: Yes. I would entertain a motion.
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move we close Public Hearing PP 03-030 and CUP 03-045, for Sagecrest,

Memorandum of Understandina with Ada County Hiahwav District for Routine
Maintenance Activities in the Public Riaht-of-Way.
The MOU , submitted for City Council approval at its December 9, 2003 meeting was
incomplete. The attached agreement includes two additional construction traffic control
matrices that I mistakenly left out of the previous packet presented to Council. Other than this
omission, the agreement is identical to the one submitted to you last week.
Recommended Council Action: Approve the Memorandum of Understanding
with Ada County Highway District and authorize the Mayor to sign and City
Clerk to attest.
Thank you for your consideration.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IN PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF-WAY IN ADA COUNTY
This Memorandum of Understanding, made and entered into this _day of _, 2003, by
and between Ada County Highway District (hereafter "ACHD" or "Highway District") and the
following municipal corporation, the City of Meridian, (hereinafter "Municipality" or
"Municipal party"), all parties being political subdivisions and bodies politic and corporate of the
State of Idaho.
RECIT ALS
A. ACHD adopted revisions to Section 6000 of the ACHD Policy Manual by approval of
Resolution No. 647 on June 26, 2002.
B. Section 67-2328 of the Idaho Code provides that any power, privilege or authority,
authorized by the Idaho Constitution, statute or charter, held by the state of Idaho or a public
agency of said state, may be exercised and enjoyed jointly with the state of Idaho or any other
public agency of this state having the same powers, privilege or authority, but never beyond the
limitation of such powers, privilege or authority. This section further provides that state or any
public agency thereof when acting jointly with another public agency of this state may exercise
and enjoy the power, privilege and authority conferred by this act, but nothing in this act shall be
construed to extend the jurisdiction, power, privilege or authority of the state or public agency
thereof, beyond the power, privilege or authority said state or public agency might have if acting
alone. Both ACHD and Municipal Party contend it has certain powers, privileges and authority
pertaining to public rights-of-way.
C. ACHD seeks to require municipalities to obtain an Annual Permit or Temporary Use
Permit from ACHD for the routine inspection, repair, replacement or maintenance of facilities,
utilities occurring in the public rights-of-way, but not involving damage to an improved highway
(herein "routine maintenance"), unless the municipality and ACHD enter into a separate
agreement addressing the routine maintenance of facilities, utilities within the public rights-of-
way.
D. The parties desire to enter into such a separate agreement, pursuant to ACHD Manual
Section 6008.2.2.5, for the purpose of minimizing the disruption and hazard to vehicular and
pedestrian traffic resulting from routine maintenance activities by improving cooperation and
communication among the parties.
E. This Agreement will govern the activities of the Municipal Party in conducting non-
destructive work, i.e., no excavation, in the public rights-of-way in Ada County, Idaho. Any
work that necessitates digging of any sort (by hand or machine) in the public rights-of-way is not
covered under this Agreement, and is regulated by sections 6000 and 8300 of ACHD policy
manual.

City of Meric~ian & Meridian RFPD
33 East Idaho Avenue
Meridian, Idaho 83642
Pierce Manufacturing, Inc. and Hughes Fire Equipment, Inc. are pleased to offer for your consideration
the enclosed proposal for one (1) 1500 GPM Fire Pumper Truck, per your call for bids.
The price for this unit is $339,800.00 F.O.B. Meridian, Idaho. The unit would be ready for delivery
within 199-229 calendar days after execution of the contract. To meet the June 30th delivery
requirement, order must be placed no later than December 22, 2003.
If the City will pay for the chassis when that portion is completed, $5,472.00 will be .deducted from the
bid price. The chassis payment of $182,388.00 will be needed three months prior to delivery.
If the City will pay any remaining balance due upon completion of the unit at the factory $2,790.00 will
be deducted from the bid price
.:: ~!\
~
If the City will pay the delivery expenses and transport the unit themselves from the factory in
Appleton, Wisconsin to Meridian, Idaho, $1,750.00 will be deducted from the bid price. If this option
is elected the City must pay any remaining balance due and provide proof of insurance prior to leaving
the factory.
If a Performance Bond is not required, $815.00 will be deducted from the bid price.
If the City will pre-pay for the entire unit, upon execution of the contract, an additional $4,954.00 will
be deducted from the bid price. This deduction is in addition to the chassis payment discount listed
above and is based upon the Department paying cash or leasing the unit through Oshkosh Capital. If
the City leases the unit through a different lending institution the pre-pay deduction available is
$4,669.00.
If all of the above options and payment deductions were elected, the net unit price would be
$324,019.00 F.O.B. Appleton, Wisconsin.

scheduled by calling 1-541-747-0072. Pierce Manufacturing; Inc. has been manufacturing Fire

Re: United Water Idaho IMAP Protest Settlement
Dear Mayor & Council;
Attached, for your review and approval is a four (4) page document titled "Mutual
Cooperation Agreement - November 24, 2003." This Agreement has evolved as the
result of many hours of meetings and negotiations between the City of Meridian
and City of Caldwell Public Works Directors; Water Rights Attorney Charlie
Honsinger, representing Meridian and Caldwell; Hydrogeologist Ed Squjres, RPG;
Engineering Manager for United Water Idaho, Scott Rhead, PE; and Water Rights
Attorneys Chris Meyer and John Marshall, representing United Water Idaho. This
agreement is the result of an effort to effect a settlement of the protest by the cities
of Meridian and Caldwell of the Integrated Municipal Application Package (JMAP)
submitted by UnIted Water Idaho to the Idaho Department of Water Resources
(IDWR). OUf protest was submitted to IDWR near the end of April 2002.
The negotiating team, on behalf of the cities, believes
that this settlement agreement offers us a degree of
protection from senior water rights held by United

Water and clarifies areas of the IMAP application that were in dispute. The protest
Hearing Officer, appointed by IDWR to hear this protest, has issued a "stay" to a
portion of the protest conceming our question of forfeiture of unused water rights
held by UWtD until such time as the Snake River Basin AdjudIcation (SRBA) process
begins for Basin 63, which is the basin from which we draw our groundwater. It is
likely at that time that we will need to object to UWID's request in the SRBA to
resolve the forfeiture issue.
This has been a long, involved and complicated process and we can now move
forward to continue to plan and develop our water rights portfolio to meet the
demands of the continued growth of Meridian. To the credit of United Water Idaho,
they broke new ground in submitting an IMAP, which has not been without
controversy. To this point I believe that we have developed a cooperative
relationship with United Water as a result of these negotiations. I also believe we
have a very able and competent team, assisted by Charlie Honsinger and Ed
Squires, to guide us in development of an IMAP for the City of Meridian. We have
also developed a very good working relationship with Gordon Law1 PE, Public Works
Director for the City of Caldwell.
As a part of the good faith effort to the resolution of this protest, United Water Idaho
has withdrawn their protest of the water right application we had filed with the
IDWR for our Well No. 2OB, to be located at the Ustick Reservoir site. Work to
develop this well site wilt now continue.
If you approve of this Agreement, it wilt then be sent to United Water Idaho for their
signature and then returned for Mayor and City Clerk signatures. The finalized
Agreement, with all signatures, witl then be submitted to IDWR for their approval.

Recommended Action:
Approve of this Mutual Cooperation Agreement, dated November 241 2003,
between the City of Meridian, the Cty of Caldwell and United Water Idaho, Inc. and
authorize the Mayor to sign and City Clerk to aft est.

Re: Locust Grove Place Subdivision
Fencing Details
Dear Will:
On behalf of Lee Centers (LC Development, Inc.), I am requesting that you place a clarification
request on the Council agenda for December 09, 2003. The conditions of approval on the project
required fencing along the buildable lots that are adjacent to the common area along the north
boundary. Mr. Centers was under the impression that a four foot (4') tall solid fence with two
foot (2') tall lattice on top was acceptable. Mr. Centers has met with Bill Musser, Meridian City
Police Chiet: and Mr. Musser is supportive of the fencing Mr. Centers has proposed. However,
Meridian Planning staff disagrees with this design.
Again, Mr. Centers would like Council to clarify the fencing design along the common area at
Locust Grove Place Subdivision. I appreciate your assistance with scheduling the issue on the
Council's agenda. Mr. Centers will submit an exhibit of the fence design, which Mr. Musser
supported, to the Council. If you have any questions please contact me at (208) 442-6300.

Is there a brief summary Council can get prior to this public meeting? This will allow Council
to have a base knowledge of the study in case anyone were to ask us about it prior to hearing
it ourselves. Sounds like the 27th pre-council meeting would be very appropriate to hear it
along with the proposals. Do many people go to this type of meeting?
I am a strong advocate for pursuing granting opportunities and leveraging our taxpayer or user
dollars. As long as the criteria (reporting, match, etc.) for using the funds are reasonable
these types of funding opportunities should be explored. Thank you for the note and for
keeping us all informed.

Mayor, Council, Council-elect,
Attached you will find a Notice of Public Hearing for the draft Wastewater
Treatment Plant Facility Plan Update study. Carollo Engineers has been
working on this update to the plan since August of 2002. The hearing,
required by the Department of Environmental Quality, will be held Monday,
January 12, 2004 at 7 PM at City Hall.
Please note this is not a public hearing over which Mayor & Council must
preside. The City Clerk has graciously IIvolunteered" to be the hearing
officer for this meeting. While I have not worked out the precise hearing
12/19/2003
(
format with Carollo Engineers, I anticipate it to be more of an open-house,
Q & A type meeting. Carollo representatives, Engineering and Wastewater
staff will present the plan and answer questions.
We will want to present the plan to Mayor & Council shortly after the public
hearing. We would like to be able to present this study to Mayor & Council
at the January 27th Pre-Council meeting if possible. This could potentially
tie in with the discussion already scheduled for that night on the
noise/odor study scope for the WWTP Mixed Use/Comprehensive Plan Amendment
(a separate email or memo regarding that issue is forthcoming).
The timing for this facility plan update is somewhat critical for us. We
must get the final facility plan to DEQ in early February so that City of
Meridian wastewater treatment projects can be appropriately ranked on the
State's funding priority list. We have not, since I arrived in '96, had to
seriously considered using the State Revolving Loan Fund for wastewater
treatment expansion. However, the capacity upgrade costs identified by
Carollo Engineers are high enough that we will likely want to consider this
option.
Please contact me if you have any questions, would like to review the draft
report or have any other comments or concerns. A copy of draft plan is also
available at the City Clerk's office.
Thank you,
Brad

City of Meridian - WWTP Facility Plan
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Meridian Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), located in Meridian, Idaho, was placed
into service in 1979 with an initial treatment capacity of approximately Nmillion gallons
per day (mgd). Since then, numerous upgrades have been made to increase the treatment
capacity to approximately j<ttrfu9d. The WWTP provides tertiary-level treatment for
combined domestic, commercial, and industrial wastewater from the City of Meridian, which
currently has a population of approximately 40,000. The WWTP is located at the north end
of the City, on Ten Mile Road.
A simplified schematic of the existing treatment processes at the plant is presented in
Figure 1. The liquid treatment processes at the plant include raw wastewater screening, grit,
removal basins, primary clarifiers, multi-zone aeration basins, secondary clarifiers, tertiary
filters, post-aeration basins, and ultraviolet disinfection basins. Effluent is discharged
through a gravity outfall to Five Mile Creek or is pumped to a second outfall in the Boise
River near Linder Road.
t~ - -
For solids treatment, sludge from the primary sedimentation basins is thickened in the
basins, then sent to two parallel thermophilic digesters. Return activated sludge (RAS) from
the secondary clarifiers is pumped to the aeration basin influent, and the remaining waste
activated sludge (WAS) is pumped to a dissolved air flotation thickener (DAFT). Thickened
WAS (TWAS) from the DAFT is pumped to the thermophilic digesters. Sludge from the
thermophilic digesters then flows by gravity to a single, larg'er mesophilic digester, and is
then pumped to a centrifuge for dewateringa The dewatered sludge is hauled away and
land-applieda
The enclosed Environme.ntallnformation Document contains information regarding the
existing environmental conditions at the project site. The" City is currently in the process of
updating their wastewater collection system master plan. As such, .a description and
analysis of the collection system is not contained herein.
2.0 PURPOSE
Due to rapid urban expansion, the City of Meridian has identified a need to update the
facility plan for their WWTP to meet future growth and potential discharge permit
requirements. Carollo Engineers was contracted by the City to complete a comprehensive
facilities planning document. The facility plan document fs intended to meet the
requirements of the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), and serve as a
preliminary design report for future construction of treatment plant processes. The purpose
of the facility plan update is to:

The 2002 data contained Table 1 reflect plant operating data, and the 2023 data were
developed using population-based projections. The 2023 projection data are used for sizing
expansion alternatives to meet future capacity needs for each treatment process, in
Technical Memoranda Nos. 2 through 6. For a detailed explanation of how the 2023
projections were developed, please refer to Technical Memorandum No.1.
3.2 Headworks Area
The plant headworks removes screenings and grit from the influent, measures influent flow,
and lifts flow to the primary clarifiers. The existing headworks consists of two mechanical
screens, three screw pumps, two grit chambers, and a flow measurement/flow splitting
structu re.
3.2. 1 Headworks Screening
The existing headworks screening capacity is limited to a peak hour flow, firm process
capacity (capacity with largest unit out-of-service) of 4~8 mgda One mechanical screen has
a treatment capacity of 11 mgd (step screen), and the other screen has a treatment
capacity of 4.8 mgd (retomat screen). However, due to installation details, the actual
screening capacity of the rotomat screen is approximately 2 mgd when working in
conjunction with the step screen.
The influent screening process at the WWTP requires immediate attention to con:Ply with
industry standards, which require a firm capacity meeting the current (2002) peak hour flow

~
(
of 7.0 mgd. Two alternatives for increasing the capacity of the screening process are
discussed in Technical Memorandum No.2.
Alternative 1 for expansion of the headworks screening process includes two project
elements to meet current and future flow demands. The first element involves removing the
rotomat screen (which has a capacity of 4.8 mgd), and installing a manually-cleaned bar
rack, which will provide a firm process capacity of 11. mgd, but will require manual cleaning
(labor) in the event of a mechanical failure of the step screen. The second element consists
of constructing a third influent channel containing a second mechanical step screen. The
new step screen will match the 11 mgd capacity of the existing mechanical step screen, to
provide a firm process capacity of 22<mgd, which exceeds the projected 2023 peak hour
flow of 15.8 mgd. It is recommended to include both project elements in a 2004 construction
project to ensure regulatory compliance.
A second alternative for upgrading the screening process includes. modifying the existing
rotomat screen to ensure the design capacity of 4.8 mgd can be achieved, and constructing
a third channel with a manually cleaned bar rack to serve as a bypass channel (2004
construction). The bypass channel would be designed so that an 11 mgd step screen can
be installed in the future as the flo.w increases, which is projected to be required in 2009.
The future, ultimate configuration for Alternative 2 includes two 11 mgd step screens, and
one 4.8 mgd rotomat screen, providing a firm process capacity of 15.8 mgd.
(:--- -
3.2.1.1 Screening Alternative Comparison
A comparison of the two screening alternatives is presented in this section. A preliminary
cost estimate for each alternative is presented in Table 2.

Phase 1 (2004) construction recommended immediately for regulatory compliance.
(2) Phase 2 construction is projected to be completed in 2009 as the peak hour flow approaches 11 mgd.
(3) Capital cost includes a 1 0% to 20% allowance for electrical and instrumentation, 20% estimating
contingency, and an engineering, legal, and administrative contingency of 200/0. A breakdown of the

\
Both screening alternative upgrades provide immediate compliance with the requirement of
providing firm process capacity to treat peak hour flow. The advantages and disadvantages
of each alternative are compared in Table 3.
Table 3 Screening Alternative Comparison
WWTP Facility Plan
City of Meridian
Advantages Disadvantages
Alternative 1
. Higher ultimate capacity (22 mgd) . Relatively new rotomat screen is removed
. All construction occurs in a single project from service
. Somewhat lower total project cost . Manual bar rack requires operator
.- attention whenever step screen is out-of-
service
. Higher Phase 1 project cost
Alternative 2
. No manual bar rack, all mechanical . Lower ultimate capacity (15.8 mgd)
operation after Phase 2 . Higher Total Project Cost
. Lower Phase 1 project cost . Longer construction schedule
(
3.2.2 Influent Lift Station
The existing influent lift station consists of three screw pumps.. Each screw pump has a
capacity of 4.5 mgd, which equates to a firm pumping capacity of 9 mgd (with 1 pump out-
of-service). The DEQ requires influent lift stations to provide firm capacity to meet or
exceed peak hour flow to ensure back-ups and overilows in the collection system do not
OCCUL Peak hour flow is projected to reach the lift station firm pumping capacity of 9 mgd in
the year 2004.
The most feasible expansion alternative involves installing two additional 4.5 mgd screw
pumps, at an estimated capital cost of $560,000. With a total of five-4.5 mgd screw pumps
available, a firm process capacity of 18 mgd is provided, which exceeds the future projected
peak hour flow of 15.8 mgd~
3.2.3 Headworks Expansion Recommendations
It is recommended that Alternative 1 be implemented for upgrading the screening process..
The screening upgrades require immediate attention to provide firm capacity compliance,
and installing a manual bar rack under Alternative 1 provides an immediate solution for
providing redundant screening capacity. Additionally, based on discussions with plant staff,
the existing rotomat screen does not provide reliable instantaneous backup capabilities, as
required under Alternative 2. The lift station upgrad~ project is projected to be required by
2004. Therefore, a single construction project to include screening upgrades and lift station.

(
expansion is recommended, which will provide an economical advantage compared to
having two separate projects in the same vicinitya
3.3 Primary Treatment
Primary treatm'ent facilities at the WWTP remove the majority of the influent suspended
solids that can be separated from the flow by gravity, as well as those solids that float and
can be skimmed off. The WWTP currently has three circular primary clarifiers (two 40-ft
diameter and one 80-foot diameter) available for primary treatment, with associated sludge
and scum pumps. The current peak hour process capacity with all three primary clarifiers in
service is 22.7 mgd, and the average day capacity is 7.6 mgda With the largest primary
clarifier out of service, the firm peak hour and average day flow capacities are 7.6 mgd and
2.6 mgd, respectively. Therefore, the firm process capac.ity must be expanded to meet the
current (?002) average day flow of 3.5 mgd and projected peak. hour flow of 15.8 mgd.
Recommended expansion of the primary treatment process includes construction of a
fourth primary clarifier in 2004, to meet current and future firm capacity requirements. The
recommended expansion includes an 80-foot diameter circular clarifier, which will provide
an average day flow capacity of SaD mgd and a peak hour flow capacity of 15.1 mgd. The
fourth clarifier addition will increase the primary treatment firm process capacity to meet
current and projected future flow requirements at a cost of approximately $1,680,000.
Detailed descriptions and cost estimates are presented in Technical Memorandum NOa 3.
(~
3.4
Secondary and Tertiary Treatment
Secondary treatment at the WWTP consists of two aeration basins and four secondary
clarifiers (two 24-ft by 96-ft rectangular clarifiers, one 80-ft diameter circular clarifier, and
one 100-ft diameter circular clarifier). Tertiary.treatment includes three tertiary filters and a
post-aeration basin. Two ultraviolet (UV) basins provide disinfection. Effluent disposal
involves. either pumping to the Boise River or discharging via gravity flow to Five Mile
Creek.
Each aeration basin has an approximate treatment capacity of 3.2 mgd. Based on the 2002
average day flow of 3.5 mgd, it is not recommended to take one aeration basin out-of-
service for any length of timea The four existing secondary clarifiers have adequate capacity
to treat future flow conditionsa However, based on age and reliability, the City has r~quested
to decommission Secondary Clarifiers Nos. 1 and 2 and construct a fifth, 1 DO-foot diameter
secondary clarifier.
The existing tertiary filters have an average day treatment capacity of approximately
5.0 mgd~ Therefore, expansion of the filtration capacity to meet future flow requirements is
recommended.
The UV disinfection system has capacity to treat future flow conditions, simply by installing
I.
additional banks of UV lamps, a project required in 2009. The preferred method of effluent

J\
disposal is to discharge by gravity to Five Mile Creek, which has an approximate flow
capacity of 18 mgd. As such, expansion of the effluent pumps, pipelines and outfall is nC?t
required.
3.4. 1 Secondary and Tertiary Treatment Expansion Alternatives
When developing expansion alternatives for the secondary and tertiary treatment
processes, both potential future nutrient removal and flow capacity requirements were
considered. Three alternatives are developed for secondary and tertiary treatment
expansion. The alternatives include phased construction to accommodate both flow and
phosphorus removal requirements. Each expansion alternative accommodates three
potential phases of phosphorus removal. Phase 1 assumes no phosphorus removal
requirement, Phase 2 includes biological nutrient removal with an effluent phosphorus limit
of 1.0 mg/L, and Phase 3 assumes advanced phosphorus remoyal with an effluent
phosphorus limit of 0.1 mg/L.
(~- -
Alternative A is developed around expansion of the existing secondary and tertiary
processes to meet future treatment needs. Construction includes addition of a third aeration
basin and a fifth secondary clarifier in 2004, and addition of a fourth aeration basin in 2009.
Due to pqtential phosphorus removal requirements, the new and existing aeration basins
will include provisions to achieve biological phosphorus removal. Also, expansion or
replacement of the tertiary filters is included in 2004 construction. Additional upgrades to
replace aging, unreliable equipment include a new aeration basin pump station and new
return activated sludge pumps. If biological phosphorus removal is required, Phase 2
includes installation of a treatment tank to chemically remove phosphorus from the sludge
dewatering centrate, before returning to the head of the plant. If a low-level phosphorus limit
is imposed, Phase 3 includes provisions for physical/chemical treatment of effluent from the
secondary clarifiers, to remove particulate phosphorus by flocculation, sedimentation, and
filtration prior to discharge.
Alternative B includes addition of a 3 mgd oxidation ditch in 2004, which would be operated
in parallel with the existing aeration basins to provide process redundancy and capacity to
meet future flow and solids loading conditions. A new aeration basin pump station and
return activated sludge pump replacement are also required. To achieve biological nutrient
removal, the existing aeration basins must be expanded, and chemical treatment of the
centrate is required. In addition, provisions for chemical addition, flocculation,
sedimentation, and filtration of the secondary clarifier effluent are required to achieve a low
level effluent phosphorus concentration, as discussed under Alternative A.
Alternative C involves the addition of a membrane bio-reactor (MBR) to the process train,
with the MBR treating mixed liquor.from the aeration basins. The use of membrane filtration
is driven by the need for advanced phosphor~s removal, and the MBR process would take
the place of the existing secondary clarifiers and tertiary filters. Therefore, it is assum~d that

MBR addition would be considered only if a low-level phosphorus limit is imposed (Phase 3,
as discussed above).

3.4.3 Secondary and Tertiary Treatment Expansion Recommendations
Alternative A is the recommended method for expansion of the secondary and tertiary
treatment processes at the WWTP~ Alternative A is the most economical alternative, and
matches the current plant processes and operation. Also, Alternative A requires the lowest
initial investment, with potential cost savings if the Phase 3 phosphorus limits are not
imposed.
3.5
Biosolids Treatment and Reuse
Siosolids produced at the WWTP include solids removed during primary sedimentation
(primary sludge) and excess solids generated and removed from the secondary treatment
process (waste activated sludge). The existing biosolids stabilization facilities include a
dissolved air flotation thickener (DAFT), two thermophilic anaerobic digesters, and a
mesophilic anaerobic digester. A centrifuge and six sludge drying beds are available for
biosolids dewatering. Primary sludge is pumped from the primary clarifiers directly to the
thermophilic digesters. Waste activated sludge (WAS) is thickened in the DAFT to produce
thickened waste activated sludge (TWAS), prior to digestion. After digestion, sludge is
dewatered by the centrifuge and land-applied to local agricultural fields.
The existing biosolids treatment process has adequate capacity to treat current solids
loading; however, redundancy is limited. To continue land applying biosolids, the biosolids
must meet the Environmental Protection Agency (EP A) Class B biosolids treatment
requirements, which include a 15-day detention time at temperatures between 35 to
50 degrees Celsius for pathogen reduction. Under current solids loading conditions, if the
existing mesophilic digester must be taken out of service for any length of time, the plant
would not meet the 15-day detention time requirement and could not land-apply the
biosolids. Therefore, expansion of the digestion process is currently required for
redundancy purposes, and additional capacity is needed to treat future biosolids loadings.

3.5. 1 Biosolids Treatment Alternatives
/'
(
Thermophilic digestion was installed in 2000 at the WWTP for production of Class A
biosolids, which can be given away or marketed as a soil amenity with unrestricted use.
The plant is currently in the process of gaining Class A biosolids acceptance from the EPA.
Therefore, it is recom.mended th~t expansion alternatives for the solids handling process be
capable of producing Class A biosolids, meet future capacity requirements, and be proven
as a full-scale, reliable treatment technology. Three alternatives are developed for
expansion of the biosolids handling process, as discussed below~
Alternative A includes expansion of the existing thermophilic and mesophilic digestion
processes. Upgrades include a third thermophilic digester and a second mesophilic digester
in 2004. A fourth thermophilic digester and third mesophilic digester are projected to be
required in 2015, as biosolids production increases. Addition of ~ second centrifuge in
2010, for redundancy, is also included.
(-:-
Alternative B involves converting the existing thermophilic digestion process to acid-phased
digestion. Acid-phased digestion allows the digesters to be operated at a high solids
loading rate, which increases digester capacity. Additional benefits of acid-phased digestion
include an increase in volatile solids destruction, and minimizing digester foaming
problems. However, acid-phased digestion does not in itself produce Class A biosolids.
Therefore, a method of producing Class A biosolids with additional thermophilic digesters or
with a post-digestion process is required. For post-digestion Class A biosolids production,
the two most feasible options are windrow sludge composting or installing a sludge dryer~
Based on cost, ease of operation, and footprint requirements, the preferred method for
producing Class A biosolids with acid-phase digestion is to utilize a sludge dryer. As such,
2004 upgrades under Alternative B include conversion of the thermophilic digesters to acid-
phased digesters, the addition of a second mesophilic digester, and installing a sludge
dryer. Based on projected solids treatment capacity requirements, a third mesophilic
digester is estimated to be required in 2015.
Alternative C includes operating the existing thermophilic digesters as mesophilic digesters,
and installing a sludge dryer for post-digestion Class A biosolids production, as discussed
under Alternative B.. Upgrades under Alternative C include constructing a second
mesophilic digester and installing a sludge dryer in 2004, with the addition of a third
mesophilic digester projected to be required in 2015.
3.5.2 Biosolids Alternative Expansion Comparison
A comparison of the estimated costs associated with each alternatiVe is provided in
Table 6. Since mesophilic digesters are included in each alternative, the only operational
and maintenance cost difference between the alternatives is for Class A biosolids
production. Alternative A utilizes thermophilic digestion, while Alternatives Band C rely on
sludge drying to achieve Class A biosolids~

It is assumed the sludge dryer will produce a dry, marketable, fertilizer end-proquct. Initially,
the City will likely have to land apply the dried sludge as .they currently do~ However,
through a well-planned public information program, it is anticipated the City can give away
and/or sell the dried sludge directly from the plant to the public and/or wholesale nurseries
and landscapers, and will not have to transport the material, which contributes to O&M cost
savings with the sludge dryer included in alternatives B and C~

3.5.3 BiosoJids Treatment Expansion Recommendations
A combination of the above alternatives provides the City with the most flexibility to produce
Class A biosolids, and maximizes utilization of existing tankage and equipment. The
recommended approach for expansion of the biosolids treatment processes, while
producing Class A biosolids includes:
· Continue utilizing thermophilic digestion to gain Class A acceptance from the EPA
through biosolids testing procedures currently being conducted.
· Install a second mesophilic digester and mechanical building for process redundancy.
· Develop firm design criteria, considering the costs and issues associated with sludge
drying equipment.
· Install a sludge dryer for Class A biosolids production.
· Operate all digesters as mesophilic digesters once the sludge dryer is in operation
and is proven to reliably produce Class A biosolids.
· Convert one, then both of the thermophilic digesters to acid-phase digesters in the
future, when sludge flows allow, to increase mesophilic digestion capacity. (This
should postpone required construction of a third methane-phase mesophilic digester.)

Utility Systems
An analysis of the existing utility systems at the WWTP was performed to evaluate
requirements necessary for utilities to support and compliment each treatment process
upgrade or expansion (as discussed in Technical Memoranda No.2 through 5). The WWTP
utilities and support systems reviewed include:
· Potable water seNiee
· Non-potable water system
· Natural gas service
· Electrical power supply
· Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system
The majority of the existing utilities, including potable water service, non-potable water
system, and natural gas service, have capacity to support future expansion requirements.
Minor recommended improvements include:
· Installing a flow meter on the non-potable water syste,m
· Constructing a drain pump station for the aeration basins

.
Installing piping, valves, and accessories necessary to provide utility services to new
process areas
(r
The primary upgrades identified under the utility system evaluation include upgrading
electrical equipment and the data collection and control system~ Minor upgrades are
required on a number of the existing motor control centers (MCCs) to accommodate future
electrical loads. In addition, the majority of the WWTP unit processes are controlled locally
at each process area~ The recommended approach is to upgrade existing electrical
components, and install new instrumentation as part of future construction to enhance
overall treatment process monitoring and central control capabilities.
A summary of the recommended support system upgrades with estimated costs is provided
in Table 8.

Non-Potable Water System $10,000 Discharge flow meter
Natural Gas Service -- No significant changes
Plant Drain Pump Station $80,000 Aeration basin drain
Electrical Distribution $250,000 MCC upgrades and power

Standby Power $150,000 Load shedding PLC control
SCADA Upgrades $250,000 Local PLCs, network connections,
SCADA and PLC programming
Total $740,000
4.0 SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED PROJECTS
A summary of the recommended projects with associated required completion date and
approximate cost is provided in Table 9, on the following page.
A phased construction approach is recommended for plant expansion to meet future
treatment requirements. As shown in Table 9, the majority of the recommended upgrades
are required to be completed in 2004~ Therefore, Phase 1 construction, assumed to be
constructed in 2004 - 2005, is summarized in Table 1 O~

Table 10 Phase 1 Construction Upgrades
WWTP Facility Plan
City of Meridian
Approximate
Upgrade Cost
Headworks (screening and pumping) $1 ,230,000
Primary Clarifier No.2 $1,680,000
Secondary and Tertiary Treatment Upgrades $6,480,000
Biosolids Treatment and Reuse (digestion and dryer) $5, 160,000
Utility Upgrades $600,000
--
Phase 1 Estimated Capital Cost $15, 150,000
(~ -
Phase 1 of the headworks upgrades include installation of a second step-screen and two
additional screw pumps. The secondary and tertiary treatment improvements include
upgrades and expansion of the existing aeration basins, a new secondary pump station,
construction of Aeration Basin No.3, RAS pump replacement, tertiary filter expansion, and
construction of Secondary Clarifier No.5. Process upgrades to the biosolids treatment and
reuse processes involve construction of a second mesophilic digester, installation of a
sludge dryer, and constructing a centrate treatment tank. The utility upgrades include
miscellaneous improvements as discussed above.
The second phase of construction is projected to occur in 2009. Upgrades anticipated for
Phase 2 include constructing a fourth aeration basin, installing additional banks of UV
disinfection lamps, and utility upgrades. The estimated cost of Phase 2 construction is
$2,275,000, which includes a $75,000 allowance for utility upgrades.
The remaining upgrades noted in Table 9 include replacing the grit handling equipment,
installing a second centrifuge, and constructing a third mesophilic digester. Replacement of
the grit handling equipment and ~dding a second centrifuge is dependent on the reliability
and useful life of the existing equipment The costs for these replacements should be
included in the capital improvements plan, but the exact date of replacement should be
flexible. Constructing the third mesophilic digester is anticipated, but the estimated cost and
required completion date should be revisited in the future, as solids loadings increase and
operating data is compiled for the acid-phase digester and the sludge dryer. In addition, it
should be noted that the costs shown in Table 9 do not include provisions for advanced
chemical treatment of the entire plant flow, if a low-level phosphorus effluent concentration
limit is set, as discussed in TM No. 4w If the Phase 3 phosphorus limits are imposed, the
estimated costs for advanced treatment are in the range of $5,200,OOO~

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Meridian, Idaho
Meridian, Idaho
We have audited the accompanying fmancial statements of the governmental activities, the
business-type activities, the discretely presented component unit, and each major fund of the City
of Meridian, Idaho, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2003, which collectively
comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial
statements are the responsibility of City of Meridian, Idaho, management. OUf responsibility is
to express opinions on these fmancial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the
discretely presented component unit, and each major fund of the City of Meridian, Idaho, as of
September 30, 2003, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where
applicable, thereaffor the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.
As described in Note A, the City adopted the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards
Board Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements-and Management's Discussion and
Analysis-for State and Local Governments; Statement No. 37, Basic Financial Statements-and
Management's Discussion and Analysis-for State and Local Governments: Omnibus; Statement
No. 38, Certain Financial Statement Note Disclosures; Statement No. 39, Determining Whether
Certain Organizations Are Component Units-an amendment of GASB Statement No. 14; and
Interpretation No.6, Recognition and Measurement of Certain Liabilities and Expenditures in
Governmental Fund Financial Statements, as of September 30, 2003. This results in a change in
the format and content of the basic financial statements.

Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Meridian, Idaho
Meridian, Idaho
The Management's Discussion and Analysis and other required supplementary information listed
in the table of contents are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. We
have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management
regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required supplementary
information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
December 12, 2003, on our consideration of City of Meridian's internal control over financial
reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts
and grants. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government
Auditing Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report in considering the results of
our audit
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City of Meridian, Idaho's, basic [mancial statements. The other financial
information listed in the table of contents is presented for purposes for additional analysis and is not
a required part of the basic fmancial statements of the City of Meridian, Idaho. Such information
has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic [mancial statements
and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.
