Bowcutt: I'm representing the applicant in this matter. I'd like my testimony on item 7 to
also be incorporated into the record for item 8, which is the preliminary plat. As Shari
indicated this property is currently zoned R-15. It's occupied with one single fa.mily
dwelling here on what we show as lot 2. It abuts Pine and Broadway and then Idaho
Avenue dead ends into the property. What we're proposing is to extend Idaho Avenue
across to our perimeter right here. We'll be building a 37 foot section with curb, gutter
and five foot sidewalks both sides. In our discussions with Ada County Highway District
we have these driveways as you can see in perfect alignment and they have asked us
to provide an easement in both directions and so this will suffice as a T-turnaround. In
fact there is more distance or length there in the T than is required. I'll also provide your
fire department with a copy of that easement so they can review to make sure it's
acceptable. That would be eliminated as far as the easement. It could be relinquished
in the future when Idaho is connected on to the adjoining properties and finally makes
its connection. We're proposing four 4-plexes, one 3-plex, a total of six lots. We do
have a portion of property here that is on Broadway as Shari indicated we requested a
one time split of that parcel. The title company for the applicant did review the history of
the parcel and determined that it was eligible for the split based on the requirements
under the ordinance. I told Shari I'll get here a packet with that information prior to
bringing the final plat in. I believe we do have a condition that states that if that
documentation is not provided that lot must be included as part of the preliminary plat
and shown as a platted lot. Sewer and water exists in the street here. We'll have to
extend it here. It's very, very shallow, but based on our preliminary investigations the
sewer will be able to accommodate these buildings. We did do test hole on the
property. The ground water level is at six and a half feet. It's infill out in this vicinity
you've got mixed uses. There's apartments, there's 4-plexes, there's single family
dwellings. What we're proposing is in compliance with the ordinance. The existing zone
on the property. We've done the best we can in trying to lay the project out based on
the limitations of the narrowness of the parcels. We did have one problem that I did
bring to staff's attention early on and that was trying to get this distance here for the
driveway aisles. What we ended up doing was a 23 foot aisle whereas your ordinance
does specify a 25 foot aisle width. All of ours have 23. The reason being is we did not
want to compromise the parking stalls which are 9 by 19 which is in compliance with
your ordinance, and staff felt that it was most important that we provide a four foot
landscape (End of Tape)
Bowcutt: ... each end to buffer the parking area from the adjoining properties so
therefore the only area that we felt comfortable with compromising was on that aisle
area. With 23 feet we still have adequate backing room. A lot of the parking lots
throughout the whole valley you'll see there may be 21, 22, 23, 24. Twenty five is pretty
large. We feel that this will accommodate the limited number of vehicles. The project is
quite small and staff did concur. We should buffer the adjoining properties. Staff also
asked us to contact your garbage service, coordinate with them on whether they want
individual can pick up or a central location. If a central location is chosen, then we'll
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 16, 1999
PAGE 15
have to screen that. I believe we were in agreement with all of staff's conditions. One
item did come to light right before the Planning and Zoning Commission and that is the
fact that we have some doubts about the ability to provide irrigation, gravity irrigation
water to a pressurized system. In talking with one of the property owners who's
developing the parcel just on the other side of this parcel here, they received a letter
from Nampa Meridian Irrigation District dated February 2nd on a project called Meridian
Acres which I believe just went before your Planning and Zoning Commission. The
letter basically states that the district cannot assure a constant head of water because
of the upstream water users and water does flow to the site from time to time and the
information that we received is the ditches because it's an infill area some of the ditches
are older. They're not kept. There's culverts. They start getting compressed under
driveways and so forth. Some people fill in their ditches. There a little bit of water out
there last summer according to my client not much in the ditch. So one of the questions
I want to bring up is if Nampa Meridian Irrigation District cannot provide us with an
adequate source of water, I would like the ability to have some type of alternative. I
spoke with Gary before the hearing. One of Gary's comments was exploring possibly a
shallow well concept. Our other alternative would be obviously to hook on to the
domestic water. One thing you don't want to do is ask these people to spend 15 or
$20,000 and then have a system that will not function because we don't have an
adequate source of water and then we have to turn around and hook on to domestic our
secondary source anyway. If they're going to spend the money, the money should be
spent in paying the necessary fees for that domestic water on that equivalent residential
unit per acre basis. So I guess I'd like some ability or some flexibility is what I'm saying
if we cannot make a pressurized system work in this area. This is not uncommon for
infill areas. Other cities we have a lot of problem with infill areas. We just don't have
the big laterals and the canals to source from. We're sourcing from little individual
ditches that run through many, many property owners. Do you have any questions?
Anderson: I have one. On that irrigation you talked about the lot developing over to the
east of it, is there a possibility that something could be worked out with developer on
some type of a pressurized irrigation system?
Bowcutt: Yes, sir. That would be possible if we can source enough water. The letter
was written for their project that they didn't feel there was an adequate source or at
least that's what it implied. If we can get an adequate source, I recommended to the
other developer and my developer that they do a joint system because the cost long
term maintenance cost and just the installation costs would be 50% less so if at all
possible that's the preferred route, but we don't want to do a system that does not have
constant water source because if you can't get a source of water what are they going to
want to do? They're going to want to flip the switch and go to the domestic or their
second source. They're not going fiddle with it if it wont' work most of the time. I guess
that's my main concern.

Anderson: Did Gary indicate to you how much water you can get out of the - just a low
Bowcutt: Just a shallow well? Gary thinks that we should explore that idea. We'd have
to obviously get a permit from Department of Water Resources to dig that well, but it is
an option if the ground water is at 6 % feet, then that may be the only viable option other
than connection to domestic and I've known that in the past that has not been the
preferred (inaudible). I did want to show you the buildings that they are constructing. I
don't have colored renderings, but I do have these black and whites. As you can see all
the buildings will be very, very - they'll be the same type of building, maybe just a little
bit of variation. These are probably some of the best 4-plex plans that I've even seen.
These have been built out of state and they purchased the right to construct them here.
As you can see they've got offset fascias, a lot of variation in the roof line so they're not
a great big square box like you've seen built in many of the 4-plex projects. That gives
them some character, also brings the bulk of the structure down so I do (inaudible) in
that area that this will be a benefit to the area and add some character.
Corrie: Any questions from Council at this time? All right thank you Becky.
Bowcutt: Thank you.
Corrie: Is there anyone else from the public who would like to issue testimony in favor
of the project? Anyone not in favor of the project for testimony? Okay, Council
questions, staff questions?
Bentley: I have a question for Gary. Is the sewering of this project going to be okay?
Smith: Mayor and Councilman Bentley Council, as Becky mentioned the elevation of
the sewer out there is awfully shallow. And it will have to the grades of the sewer will
have to conform to the Uniform Plumbing Code, if they're less than 8 inches in diameter
on to the sites. Their preliminary profiles show that it would work. It's going to be
shallow.
Bentley: Okay thank you.
Corrie: Becky one of the questions that came to mind is the property owners the holder
of this conditional use permit.
Rountree: Say you got an affirmative.
Corrie: Yeah, she shook her head yes so it's affirmative. Any other questions from
Council. I don't know do we need a variance on this 25 foot against the 23 foot width of
the driveway. Mr. Gigray?

Gigray: Mr. Mayor and members of the Council I think that question might be better
asked of the City Engineer or the Planning and Zoning Administrator if it's not where it's
a development request that's beneath minimum standard then I would imagine under
the code it would require a variance, but I don't in this instance whether it does or not.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council I would recommend since this is part of a conditional use
permit that that could be approved as part of the conditional use permit. I'd hate to go
through a variance for two feet.
Corrie: That's your call. Thank you. Questions comments? If not I'll entertain a motion
to close the public hearing.
Bentley: Mr. Mayor I move we close the public hearing.
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Motion made by Mr. Bentley second by Mr. Bird to close the public hearing on
item number seven. Any further discussion?
Rountree: No discussion on the motion, excuse me.
Corrie: All those in favor of the motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Rountree: Mr. Mayor I just wanted to reaffirm that well development fees are still
something that we have in our ordinance.
Smith: Yes, sir, they still exist.
Rountree: Okay.
Smith: I might also mention Mr. Mayor and Council that it's my understanding from the
Idaho Department of Water Resources they can dig a hole up to 18 feet deep and it's
still not considered a well. I need to clarify that, but that would get them down below 12
feet below what Becky reported as the ground water level out there. Thank you.
Corrie: Any further discussion on item number seven request for conditional use
permit? Hearing none, I'll entertain a motion on the conditional use permit.
(Inaudible - off the microphone)
Corrie: Yes, sir it is.

(Inaudible)
Corrie: Well we've closed the hearing unless the Council wants to reopen it. We have
the plat yet. You can make a comment there. I suppose it won't make any difference if
you do it now or on the preliminary as far as you think?
(Inaudible)
Corrie: Okay we do that on the plat then. It's a public hearing so you can make your
comment at that point.
(Inaudible)
Corrie: That's next item.
Rountree: Mr. Mayor just a point of clarification do we need a finding?
Corrie: Yes along with your order of approval of decision to go with that and the
findings.
Rountree: Mr. Mayor I move that we have the City Attorney prepare Findings of Fact
and Conclusions of Law along with Order of Decision on the request for conditional use
permit single family dwellings Seabury Subdivision to include conditions of staff,
Planning and Zoning Commission, preference that the applicant provide pressurized
irrigation primary source. In the event that's not possible that they investigate a shallow
well as a source of pressurized irrigation. If that's not possible they investigate with the
city the possibility of well development fees.
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Before I recognize the second, what about the 23 feet driveway? Do you want
to include that as part of the conditions since the staff report was 25.
Rountree: Sure I'll make that part of my motion.
Bird: I'll second it.
Corrie: Okay motion made by Mr. Rountree second by Mr. Bird to have the attorney
draw up the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law with approval as stated in the
motion. Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.

SUBDIVISION BY WEST PINE DEVELOPMENT - BETWEEN W. PINE ST & W.
BROADWAY AVE, EAST OF W. FOURTH ST:
Corrie: I will open the public hearing at this time and invite Ms. Stiles to comment.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council I would just ask that our comments dated December 21,
1998 be incorporated as conditions of approval.
Corrie: All right. Okay anyone else from the public who would like to issue testimony in
this case? You can come up here. Ask your questions and then we'll answer them for
you if we can.
LES MIGNEAULT
Migneault: My name is Les Migneault. I own the property immediately adjacent to the
property being developed at 631 W. Pine, and I was just interested in that ditch that
crosses the property that I've had access to irrigation for many years now. I was
interested to see if that was a ditch that was maintained by the irrigation district and
whether it would be tiled and I would maybe have access to the irrigation water since
I've been paying the taxes on it and using it. It pretty dead heads right there at my
property now since the development closed the ditch leading off to the other direction,
but I was mainly interested in access to the irrigation and whether it was a maintained
ditch by the irrigation district.
Rountree: Mr. Mayor, if I might ask a question. Do you have a reasonable amount of
water through that ditch?
Migneault: A reason amount. I tried to irrigate the backyard and there's a garden spot
in the back that I access that water pretty regularly. It beats using city water on your
lawn.
Rountree: Do you pay more than your assessed fee to your property? In other words,
do you pay for that water?
Migneault: Yes, I do. It's irrigation taxa
Rountree: How many inches of water do you pay for?
Migneault: You know to be honest with that water has run down that ditch for so many
years that we all just tapped off of it, and I never I mean the ditch was running and I
went out there and made my damn and took the water that I wanted then opened the
damn -
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 16, 1999
PAGE 20
Rountree: So you're not paying for the water then?
Migneault: Well I was to be honest with you I thought it was part of the irrigation tax in
the district.
Rountree: Probably not the case, but at least you have water to use. You're probably
using somebody else's water.
Migneault: I had access to it until they developed the apartments directly behind my
house now and that ditch ran rather freely before until they got backed up from the
apartment development and now it's being threatened even further and I feel that I've
been paying taxes on the irrigation for many years on that property and had access to
the water and if it is a maintained ditch or that the ditch is part of the irrigation district,
then I feel I should keep access to the irrigation water or if the alternative is to not have
access, then it's quite an expensive -I understand around $100 to get a person taken
off of the tax list to where you don't pay tax if you don't have access to the irrigation. I
would prefer to have access to the water if possible. Thank you.
(I naud ib Ie)
Bowcutt: Mr. Mayor just to put our response on the record we have identified the ditch.
It is shown on our preliminary plat our to-po. We do show piping that irrigation ditch
across. It looks like he comes off of a spur from this ditch so I'm glad that he showed up
this evening so that we can go ahead and run it down here and make sure that it outlets
to him.
Corrie: You might stick around Becky. We have one more person who would like to
testify .
DWAYNE MADSEN 603 W. PINE
Madsen: My name is Dwayne Madsen. I live at 603 W. Pine. This same water incident
is what and we do have low pressure water that comes across there and at the point
where he mentioned that he said that the ditch ends, it doesn't end. It goes into an
underground over by the apartments right across the end of Broadway where the edge
of the development is now and it's used by quite a few people and we're down on the
end of it and we do pay a ditch tax and it our responsibility and not the ditch companies
to take care of the ditch. So I've been helping take care of it over the years, but we do
have low pressure water down through there and it does continue on and go into a drain
ditch over by the apartments near Idaho and I think about 7th. But it is underground
from about his place all the way over where it goes into the drain ditch except for about

1 00 feet on the very end down near the apartments and the single dwellings down
there.
Corrie: Okay are you on the east or the west of this gentleman?
. Madsen: I would be just to the east of where he mentioned.
Corrie: East. Okay is that Becky part of your property?
Madsen: I'm the piece of property that's between these two developments.
Corrie: You own between the two. Okay, make sure we got everybody cover here now.
(I naud ible)
Bentley: Mr. Mayor could you have the record reflect that Becky Bowcutt's testimony
from item number seven is to be included in item number eight, the preliminary plat.
Corrie: So be it. Anyone else would like to enter testimony on item number eight on the
preliminary plat? Any other comments from staff? Any further comments from Council?
Bird: I have none.
Rountree: None.
Corrie: I'll entertain a motion to close the public hearing.
Rountree: Mr. Mayor I move we close the public hearing.
Bentley: Second.
Corrie: Motion made by Mr. Rountree second by Mr. Bentley to close the public hearing
on item number 8. Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the
motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Corrie: Any further comments or discussion by Council?
Bentley: I have none.
Corrie: Then I will entertain a motion for accept, rejection or (inaudible) for approval of
the preliminary plat.

Bentley: Mr. Mayor, I move we approve the preliminary plat subject to staff conditions.
Corrie: Do I hear a second?
Anderson: Second.
Corrie: Motion made by Mr. Bentley second by Mr. Anderson to accept the preliminary
plat for Seabury Subdivision by West Pine Development subject to conditions of staff
comments. Any further discussion?
Rountree: Mr. Mayor I would request if Councilman Bentley would consider a condition
on that approval that the developer investigate and/or resolve the irrigation issue both
downstream and through this parcel and they assist in identifying what problems may
be upstream to get the irrigation water to this property. What I don't think we want nor
do I think they want is another Don Bryant situation where on a wet year your 4-plexes
are in a foot of water that nobody knows where it came from or where it's going to go to
and I think it's really important that we pay attention to this irrigation issue.
Bentley: I would agree to that.
Corrie: Okay. Does the second agree to it?
Anderson: Second agrees to it.
Corrie: Mr. Gigray.
Gigray: Mr. Mayor I would understand as we would prepare an order of conditional
approval of the preliminary plat that the same conditions that were enunciated in the
previous action in item seven we would make sure that this order was consistent with
those because there are a lot of the same conditions apply in both instances with your
permission.
Bentley: Yes, that was my intent.
Corrie: Amended motion by Mr. Bentley and second approval by Mr. Anderson. Any
further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the amended motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
9. PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR ANNEXATION & ZONING OF 21.54
ACRES FOR PROPOSED THOUSAND SPRINGS VILLAGE BY MARTIN
{
\
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 16, 1999
PAGE 23
DEVELOPMENT INC.-NORTH OF E. VICTORY ROAD, WEST OF S. EAGLE
ROAD:
Corrie: At this time I will open the public hearing and invite the staff to comment.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council I brought the wrong file, so I'm not sure what date our
comments were. This is a project that's about a quarter mile north of Victory on Eagle
Road. The owner of it was Mr. Gordon Harris if you might remember, he's tried several
times to develop this property and now has the opportunity to have it developed. I don't
believe we had any issues outstanding on this project. The Public Works Department is
requiring a booster station to be built as part of this development to increase the flows in
the pressures in that area. And they have agreed to do that. It's a fairly straight forward
project. Ada County Highway District has requested that a stub be provided into the
existing home which Mr. Harris resides so that possible future development may take
place on that remaining parcel. They are going to continue their 50 foot wide right-of-
way and we did have initial comments saying that the 57 foot right-of-way would be
preferred but we have since agreed that we would prefer to have the 4 foot planting strip
separating the sidewalk from the roadway rather than insist on the 57 foot right-of-way.
Corrie: Is there anyone from the public who would like to issue testimony in favor of this
item number 9 request for annexation of Thousand Springs Village.
BECKY BOWCUTT BRIGGS ENGINEERING 1800 W. OVERLAND, BOISE
Bowcutt: The project we bring before you is an annexation on 21.5418 acres. I'd like to
mention for the record that it does include Mr. Harris' home parcel which is about two
and a half acres. In our preliminary discussions with staff prior to submittal they thought
it would be wise to include that in the annexation so we didn't end up with an enclave at
a later date where the city had to go and then force them to annex. However within the
preliminary plat that parcel is not included. It's a separate parcel under the Assessor's
records and therefore it is a legal parcel. You probably saw a five acre subdivision
come in under county referral on this property a year or so ago. After the Thousand
Springs development was approved then this was purchased by a relative of Mr.
Goldsmith's and they decided to incorporate it into the development. As you recall we
provided two stub streets to this property. One here and here. We are extending those
in and making that connection. We also took this cul-de-sac and brought a stub street
at this location. However when we started to lay this development out, it became
obvious that these two stub street connections were too close to make that intersection
work. Therefore we requested the highway district and the city discontinue this street
connection down here and instead we included a micropath connection. The highway
district did support that and so did your staff. One thing that did is this would have been
a really long street that somebody could get a pretty high excessive speeds on and it
just doesn't make a lot of sense because we've got good interconnection with these two
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 16, 1999
PAGE 24
stub streets here. This is the Bell property. We provided a stub street to that parcel so
that it may redevelop in the future. We'll be extending the sewer and water through the
Thousand Springs development into the Village. All of these lots exceed 8,000 square
feet. A majority of them run between 9200 and 10,000 square feet on the average. We
provided 40 feet of landscaping on Eagle Road which is consistent with Thousand
Spring. We have asked Mr. Harris if he will go ahead and dedicate additional right-of-
way so we can take our sidewalk along the frontage and have a continuous section of
sidewalk without a break. He did agree to sell that to the highway district and we did
agree that the highway district to construct that sidewalk so we won't have a break in
the sidewalk. We'll tie all that landscaping in as far as similar theme. The development
has the McDonald Lateral that runs, it comes across like this and then it dips down,
terminates here, goes into a pipe and overflows into the Ridenbaugh Canal. We will be
required to pipe this section of the McDonald lateral. I did submit plans to Boise Project
Board of Control and ask for information from them. They have asked for a 24 inch
pipe. They've asked for us to maintain their access road and to coordinate with the
neighbors because there are three property owners that adjoins us that have their
pumps in that lateral at this time. We have sent a survey crew to locate their pumps.
We'll be constructing boxes that's acceptable to them as far as location and size along
that McDonald Lateral so that they will have shared access to their water. The Planning
and Zoning Commission asked us to at one time we showed this as just an easement.
The Planning and Zoning Commission asked us to put that in a separate lot that was
attached to this common lot here. We did modify our preliminary plat to do so. That will
protect the lateral. We wont' have any problems with any encroachment from the
neighbors or any disputes in the future. The district said that they'll have to drive back
in here for any maintenance that may take place along that pipe so that roadway will be
maintained. We did have some neighbors that had comments and concerns at the
Planning and Zoning Commission. We asked the commission to please approve us and
give us the opportunity to meet with those residents to come up with some solutions to
their concerns. The Planning and Zoning Commission did allow us that privilege. We
met with Bonnie Glick who owns the property here. Let me flip this here. She owns the
property right here. You can see here house sits real far back. This is Bernetta
Hastings. She sold this little portion here to Martin Development. We did not meet with
her, but we met with Rex Young who lives here and he had concerns. One Rex wanted
to see the roadway maintained or left in place for that access to the ditch. We have
agreed to that. We agreed that we will coordinate the location of that pipe, their boxes.
Secondly Bonnie Glick asked because her house sits so far back that 17 and lot 16 be
designated as a single story lots. The developer has agreed to that in the development
agreement that was submitted to your staff. I think Mr. Gigray has a copy of it. These
two lots are designated as single story lots. We went back there observed her house.
She does have a nice view. She does not have any trees or obstructions that gives
here a view and that would just kind of help her view out. Rex's one problem was the
fact that his property is about six feet higher than our parcel and when we install a
perimeter fencing, that that fence would be lower than his property. So we walked out
(
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL

there in the rear and what we're going to do is we'll feather out from the access road
we'll go ahead an add some fill and feather it out to the north so the fence will sit on the
far side of the access roadway for the McDonald Lateral. So the fence will sit higher
and then the. lot will be down and that was one of the compromises that we came up
with. Mr. Young's property the rear of his, he abuts us just right from here over. He has
an extensive forest in his rear yard that I believe gives him his privacy, but this fence will
add to it, so as far as his view I told him I don't think you can see through those trees
because I couldn't see an inch of your house on the other side. Mrs. Glick I also want to
put on the record will be matching the fence along here in Thousand Springs 1 across
the back. It will be some type of a capped six foot wood type fence. She did not want
dog eared with some type of a white wash on it so it doesn't discolor as bad, so I think
we've worked out the majority of our problems. This is a good project. There's
approximately 53 buildable lots. Our density is about 2.7 dwellings per acre. The
developable part of the project is approximately 19.4 acres. We got a pocket park here.
It's about 25,500 square feet. That's going to be used as storm drainage and a pocket
park. One of the things that we looked at is this is by far the lowest point on the
property. We believe we can get the storm drainage to come to this location. We're
going to try to minimize the amount of depression so that it is a usable grass area, not
just a hole in the ground. We also have the micropath area here that we could -that will
be grass with just a five foot or ten foot excuse me ten foot path according to ACHD
requirements and we're going to attempt it was one of staffs questions. We've got a
ditch that we're piping here that takes some drainage off of some of these other parcels,
and we're going to try to create an overflow there so that our pond does not have to be
so deep that it can just be a mild depression. When we get into design we'll get working
on that and see what we can do. One of the prime things that we've been working on is
try to make these usable areas that they function storm drainage but yet they're usable
and aesthetically pleasing. One thing I do want on the record, I've got this little sliver
here as you can see this particular lot five was met your standards for frontage
exceeded your 8,000 square feet. However it was quite narrow and deep. I want to
add this excess to this particular lot here so this lot 6 shown on the preliminary plat
would go with this lot within Thousand Springs No. Phase 3 so I do want that on the
record just to make it bigger because it's excess and they'll just have to do a quitclaim
deed for that small portion. Do you have any questions?
Rountree: Are you still proposing the same type of use for the lot in the northeast
corner on Eagle?
Bowcutt: Where? Up there?
Rountree: Yeah. Thousand Springs.
Bowcutt: That's the fire station lot. That's the well lot. Yes, sir. That's in phase in one
of Thousand Springs. These are the phase lines. Phase one, two, three is coming

before you and four will be designed by the end of the month. And we will - oh I also
want to go on the record that we'll be constructing a pressure booster station here. This
project in conjunction with the developer of Thousand Springs to boost that pressure
because this property sits at a higher elevation and your existing well is over on Locust
Grove. Staff and our engineering team agreed that phase two of Thousand Springs
would be the appropriate time to bring that on line. I'm currently waiting on your staff to
provide me with a detail because no one has ever built one so we don't know what it
looks like. Or what it costs yet either. It may not be a real good idea.

ACRES BY JOHN GOADE-SQUTH OF TROUTNER BUSINESS PARK,
BETWEEN WALTMAN LANE & TEN MILE:
Corrie: At this time I will open the pubic hearing on item number 11 and invite staff
comments.
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council this is the property that was once owned by Ruth Hunter
that has what is referred to as the old Waltman house. There are no plans for any
development of the property at this time that have been presented. For that reason we
have requested that any uses by done under the conditional use permit process and we
have also asked that a development agreement be entered into. It would have to be
somewhat generic at this time, but at least to address the access and the requirement
for provision of a bike path, multi use path along the Ten Mile Drain in this location. The
applicant has indicated no problems with any of our comments and we would ask that
the comments dated January 7, 1999 be incorporated as conditions of the annexation.
Corrie: Is there anyone from the public who would like to issue testimony on the
request for annexation and zoning by John Goade at this time.

Aldridge: I live right across from there. My name is Donna Aldridge and I don't
understand what they're wanting to do. Now this is Ruth Hunter's old place. Are they
trying to get something built in there or get access or what?
Corrie: Okay just right now they're trying to do is annex and zone it and I believe they're
asking for - Shari what's the annexation and zoning request?
Stiles: C-G and L-O.
Corrie: That's commercial and also limited office in that area. That's the zoning they
would like to do. They're not going to build anything there right now, but they're just
asking for a new zoning to C-G which is commercial and a limited office at this time.
When they come in with what they want to do then they'll have another public hearing
with what they want to put in there.
Aldridge: Well is that fair to the public? I mean I've been down there for 30 years and
it's been quiet and peaceful and when they opened that road up here a while back when
they was working on that bridge over there on Linder Road, those people was like a
bunch of wild horses down through there. We had to have the police come down there
and patrol it and everything else because I was right there in the middle of it and it was
a total disaster, so I would kind of like to know more of what is going on, because I feel
like I have grandmother's rights. I mean I'm getting kind of tired of all this. I mean I
know you can't stop progress. I would like to have a little peace too and I lost my
youngest son 17 years ago and that's memories to me and I do not want to have to
move and I don't like people coming in and trying to force you know things like that on
me and I mean I like to live with a little peace in my life and I like to know what's going
on across there because they do live like I said that's right across from where I live. So
I'd like to if you have any more meetings or anything I'd like to know what's going on
and what they plan on doing because like I said right now they do have they've been
pretty considerate when they have had weddings and stuff over there, the music has
been kind of low. I mean once in a while it gets a little loud over there. I like to work
with people. I like to get along with people, but I would like to have some consideration
too.

time? Okay thank you. Anyone else from the public who would like to issue testimony?

Howard: This is just to help the Council and anyone that might be here for testimony.
That outlines the zoning. There are plans. We'll follow that plan in its development as it
develops to extend the road as shown. The Troutner Business Park is to the north
currently (inaudible). Existing Troutner Business Park is located here. Storage area
here and this is zoned agricultural now. The Waltman home is right here. It will be
retained. There's some talk of putting it on the historic register, so that will not be
destroyed or torn down. It will be brought up to fire codes and probably converted to
office use. This is a roadway layout. One zone is this we have C-G and the remainder
is L-O. It's separated by the streets and I think that pretty much summarizes our
request in terms of annexation and if I can answer any questions, I'd be more than
happy to do so.
Aldridge: Where this road is that he's talking about from the office there when they
come for the office, are they going to have the office in the old Waltman place? Is that
what they're trying to - are they going to build an office or what? I don't understand.
Howard: The Waltman house is located here and then eventually these would be
limited office. The road would be extended. There's plans, the city would like to see
from my understanding see Corporate Drive extended ultimately, turn down and come
down to Waltman Lane. I think the plans of ACHD is to terminate this or dead end
Waltman down here. This will provide an access out of Waltman on to Corporate Drive
which ultimately goes out to Meridian and then it will be the connection into that
industrial park to the north. So it's my understanding, you correct me if I'm wrong, is
Waltman will not be a through street.
Adridge: Good. Okay that was one of my-
Howard: Yes.

12. FINAL PLAT FOR WHITESTONE ESTATES #3 BY WHITESTONE
DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LLC - NORTH OF WALTMAN, SOUTH OF W.
FRANKLIN, WEST OF S. LINDER ROAD:
Corrie: Staff comments first?
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council this is for the remainder of the preliminary plat for
Whitestone Estates Subdivision No.3. The Meridian School District has purchased the
property south of this subdivision to Waltman Lane and proposed their elementary
school there. I apologize to the applicant and to the Council for the lateness of these
comments. We just got them done late today. Hopefully Mr. Jacobs has had a chance
to look through those and if he has any problems with any of those conditions, he can
let you know. I did have one issue on this that I need legal counsel to help with. The
preliminary plat does show some vacation of right-at-way. There were stub streets
initially on this plat because it was intended to go on further. Can we just rely on Ada
County Highway District's vacation of those right-at-way and just take the new recorded
plat as getting rid ot those old rights-af-way or do we have to go through a separate
vacation process?

MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 16, 1999
PAGE 32
Gigray: Mr. Mayor and members of the Council I'm not sure I understand fully the
history of this situation. Is this an area that's previously platted 50 that this could be
considered a part and parcel of a replat and their approval of the replat would in effect
would effect those vacations and rededications and as long as it's done in that fashion, I
think we're fine. If we're talking about areas outside of the plat then we'd be into
different issues.
Stiles: I believe it was all part of the original plat and this would be a resubdivision of a
portion of that perhaps. I'm not sure. Maybe Keith can help us on that too.
Corrie: Well since this isn't a public hearing Keith, I'll let you talk anyway.
KEITH JACOBS
Jacobs: Thank you sir. Keith Jacobs Pacific Land Surveyors. We have an application
for the Ada County Highway District to vacate those rights-of-way that were dedicated
when the platting of Whitestone No.2 was undertaken and then finally recorded and
that should take care of the issue with the right-of-way. We've also initiated paperwork
with all the utilities requesting their concurrence with their relinquishing of the
easements that were put on that property at that time. I haven't received all of that
information, but as soon as I get that, that will be presented to the City and the Highway
District.
Corrie: So Mr. Gigray with that in mind your recommendation then would be.
Gigray: Mr. Mayor and members of the Council if there's a petition to vacate before the
highway district it will require the concurrence of the city before they can approve it.
That's by state law. So at some point the City's approval of the specific vacation
request should come before this Council.
Corrie: And b~fore the final plat is approved, right? Or does it make any difference?
Gigray: I would defer to the administrator as to whether or not in her opinion this is
ready for final plat approval given some of the situations with this whether it should be
tabled pending that approval then submitted for final approval or whether or not she'd
recommend that you approve it subject to these conditions because our standard orders
provide that the City Engineer doesn't sign off on the plat until all those conditions are
met.
Stiles: If it doesn't require a resubdivision of any of the rest of the property, is that right
Keith? This new configuration doesn't require you to include parts of the old plat the
number two plat?
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 16, 1999
PAGE 33
Jacobs: Yes, there are parts of the old number two plat that are included in this
subdivision. Two lots, one on the west and one on the east side.
Stiles: Okay.
Jacobs: And we would not bring the final plat to the City for signature. Obviously the
highway district would not sign that plat until that vacation has taken place and the
condition to bring it to the city would have to have the highway district signing the final
plan and Central District Health so in that we couldn't bring it to the City Engineer to
sign off on the final plat until the right-of-way has been vacated by then. Now as to
whether the city has held a vacation hearing on that that's a new one on me. I don't
know.
Corrie: I think he said by law we had to, didn't we?
Gigray: They have to have your approval whether or not you have a public hearing or
not is another matter. It's just that you have to have the approval. I don't know. I
haven't seen their application for vacation so I don't know whether or not that extends
beyond the plat. I suppose an argument could be made and a comment could be made
in the plat approval that that would be approval of any pending vacation request that
would affect that plat area, and that could be transmitted to the Ada County Highway
District which I think would be sufficient record of the City's approval at least as it affects
the areas within the proposed plat. Outside ot the plat would be different matter.
Corrie: Any other questions of Keith? Thank you Keith.
Jacobs: Thank you.
Bentley: Mr. Mayor if I'm understanding this right with the changes from Whitestone 2
and number 3 wouldn't that require a replat?
Stiles: That's what they're doing. They're doing a resubdivision of a portion of it.
Bentley: Okay.
Corrie: (Inaudible)
Bentley: Thank you.
Corrie: Any further comments?
Rountree: Mr. Mayor I would make a couple of comments. One it seems that there is
some confusion as it relates to vacation of right-at-way and I don't believe the developer

nor their engineers had an opportunity to review or comment in writing on the letter that
just went out today to them on this particular subdivision. Though I'm hesitant to table it
would think that that might be something that we want to do to get the comments back
and get the vacation issue resolved.
Corrie: I agree.
Bird: Is that a motion?
Rountree: I just throw that out for discussion. If it's a flier, I'll move that we table the
Whitestone Estates Subdivision No.3 final plat until our next regularly scheduled

respond to City's comments and resolve the issue as it relates to vacation and public
rig ht -of-way.

13. FINAL PLAT FOR VILLAS AT THE LAKES SUBDIVISION BY STEINER
DEVELOPMENT LLC - NW OF CHERRY LANE VILLAGE NO.1:
Corrie: Shari comments?
Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council this is quite a bit different from the last one and Keith I
apologize for not getting those - I didn't think there was anything on Whitestone that
couldn't have been resolved, but the Villas at the Lake Subdivision. Unfortunately it was
put on the agenda probably should not have been. It did not conform to the approved
preliminary plat. There were some specific requirements in this plat and my staff did not
have the adequate background on what had gone on with this project to be able to
determine whether it was in compliance. Primarily we do need some easements shown
on here and I guess one of the biggest issues we have is the fact they were approved
29 of the lots were required to be a minimum 1600 square feet. They've shown 11 of
the lots to be 1600 square feet and also we have a question on whether all of these lots .
can even accommodate a house that large. There are at least four lots where it would
be very, very tight. They would have to have an absolute rectangle of a building and
use every square inch available outside the setbacks to be able to meet those
minimums and also have a two car garage. Lots 18 and 19 of block 1 would not be able
to meet that. They do have four lots that could be the 1304. But we would like them to
(~
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 16, 1999
PAGE 35
come back with some building envelopes and let us see how those plans would work.
With the conditional use permit that was approved they did have specific floor plans. It
may be that they need to come back with a two story in order to meet those minimums
on some of these and also as requested in the preliminary plat stage, we did want
detailed fencing and pathway and landscaping plans to be submitted for approval. We
have some concepts, but no details and we would like to approve those as part of the
final plat.
Corrie: Shari are we on a time schedule for this final plat to be approved? We're not
are we?
Stiles: You can reconsider it anytime within 45 days.
Bentley: Mr. Mayor it's obvious that this is going to have to be tabled. My question is
two weeks or four weeks?

March 16th, 1999.

14. DEPARTMENT REPORTS:
A. GARY SMITH:
1. JUS ENGINEERING AGREEMENT FOR WATER LINE PROJECT.
Smith: Mr. Mayor and Council members, the first item I have this evening for your
consideration is approval of an engineer agreement with JUB Engineers for design, plan
preparations and bidding documents concerning the extension of our water system
distribution system. The estimated construction cost of the water system expansion that
we will build this year is $940,500. The overall estimated construction cost of the
system as it will be designed is approximately 1.12 million dollars. Our budgeted
amount didn't - didn't have enough funds in there to build all of it, but we did want to get
it all engineered and plans prepared and ready to go. This project is broken into two
r' -
\
l
{

MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL

PAGE 36
phases. Sheet number one the attachment A describes the two phases. Phase one
consists of waterline improvements in Ustick Road and Linder Road that will tie a new
water tank into our existing distribution. The second part of that is Eagle Road 1-84
interchange crossing and construction of water main on Overland Road. There is an
error on that Overland Road west of Playground Subdivision that shows 120 feet. That
should be 2120 feet. This phase one is necessary to be constructed this year and it's
part of the estimated construction cost to tie our system together in areas of high
demand. Phase number two which is shown on page 2 of the attachment I've taken out
quite a few of the smaller connection pieces in order to fare the construction costs down
to meet the monies that have been budgeted. If you have any questions concerning
this proposal I'd be happy to answer them. If not I would request your approval of the
agreement. I think that amount for - it's $137,196.00. It shows up on page two of
attachment B. We will be doing all of the construction observation.
Bird: Mr. Mayor I move that we enter into the agreement, Mayor to sign and the Clerk to
attest with J U B Engineering for the waterline project for the sum of $137, 196.
Rountree: Second.
Corrie: Motion made by Mr. Bird second by Mr. Rountree to approve the JUS
agreement for the waterline project in the amount of $136,196. Any further discussion?
Hearing none, all those in favor of the motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
2. INSPECTORS CONTRACTS FOR BUILDING, MECHANICAL,
ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING.
Smith: The next item I have is our contract with our building inspectors or our
agreements with our contract building inspectors I should say. The attachment that I've
given to you the spreadsheet shows the percentage breakdowns for each one of the
inspectors based on the permit fees that they collect. The building inspector has no
change requested on his existing contract. The electrical inspector has no change
requested on his contract. The mechanical and plumbing inspectors have requested a
modification to their existing agreement. Mechanical is requesting all permit fees
collected over $75,000 his percentage be changed from 300/0 to 400/0.
Rountree: Gary would it have been easier for him to have stated that anything over
$60,000 would be a 400;O?
Smith: Yes, correct.
Rountree: Okay.

Bird: Gary I got one question. I notice on your deal in the building inspector's deal do
we need to add in the inspection for occupancy in this contract so that it is taken care of
and Shari - she feels it is a building official's duty. I have to agree with her.
Smith: That's the question that was posed.
Corrie: (inaudible)
Bird: So we need to add that into the contract.
Bentley: Adding that into the contract, that's part of his contract with no additional fee?
Corrie: It goes along with the regular fee.
Bird: It's just the wordage; is that right Mayor?
Corrie: That's right.
Bentley: Gary I have a question under mechanical negotiate permit fee of $1 ,000 or
more. At the top it says the first $30,000 is 750/0. I'm kind of confused.
Smith: Well the way his contract reads right now Councilman Bentley is any permit fee
of $1 ,000 or more the fee to RIMI, Inc shall be negotiable between the City of Meridian
and RIMI, Inc.
Bentley: Okay but what does the inspector percentage that says 75% of the first
$30,000 is that the same thing or am I reading something there?
Smith: You probably should scratch the word permit. You're right, that should be any
fee of $1 ,000 or more shall be negotiable. Good point, thank you.
Bentley: Gary you and I had this conversation away from the rest of them, but I'm going
to ask the question anyway since all four of us are now here. We budgeted for a head
of inspectors and you stated you had not started that process yet.
Smith: Correct.
Bentley: Can we look for that to get going here real soon?
Smith: Yes, I will. Thank you. I appreciate the reminder. I need those from time to
time. The last one and probably the most the largest change in request has to do with
our plumbing inspector. As you can see and I can't tell you exactly why that the permit
(
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 16, 1999
PAGE 38
fees that were generated last year for example are significantly larger than the permit
fees generated by electrical and mechanical, however they are. The percentages that
the plumbing inspector has right in his existing contract gives him a percentage revenue
of 37.30A> and comparing that to the electrical at 45.4 and the mechanical at 49.4 I think
he sees that deficiency and that's the reason that he's requested this change. Now in
terms of the dollars actually generated for payment to each one of the inspectors, the
plumbing inspector has been paid more than the other two that is mechanical or the
electrical. In terms of the amount of work that they actually do how different it is from
one to the other, I can't tell you. I don't know. I think there's a similar number of
inspections that are done. There's a rough and then there's a - I think they make three
trips, don't they Councilman Bird?
Bird: Yeah. They should make three trips out there.
Smith: There's a rough and a trim and -
Bird: The mechanical usually when they have the foundation rough, whatever you want
to call that and then the trim and the final.
Smith: I know that the mechanical inspector gets his knees and toes dirty because he
crawls the crawl spaces looking at the plumbing, and that is an all weather. All kinds of
weather.
Bird: Gary when I started putting things together I wasn't in favor of this, but this
gentleman (inaudible) permits one heck of a lot more than electric or mechanical and
only received 12,000 more than the electrical and 20,000 more than the other. He had
almost hit 90,000 more in fees than the mechanical and had 70,000 more in fees there.
I guess maybe he needs a little change. Do you think it is fair, the change?
Smith: In terms of the percentages of the revenue that they're earning it would be more
comparable to what the other inspectors are getting, and I'm not sure how negotiable he
would be with a figure other than what he has asked for.
Anderson: Are there other people that offer these same services?
Smith: Not that I'm aware of Councilman. I don't know that there are. I know that these
guys also perform this service for Middleton and Star I believe. They've kind of gone as
a combined, performed the same inspection services for those other cities, so we're not
their only clients. But I don't know if there are other people out there that do this type of
work on a contract basis.
Bird: Gary this will be retroactive back to October 1st?

MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL

Smith: Weill don't know. We've been operating under last year's contract which I think
last year's contract was approved in December of last year, and I guess that was
retroactive to October of the year before.
Bird: We're a third of the way through the fiscal year and if you know the ones we keep
that don't want any changes no problem, but then this the one if we decide to go with
the plumbing and change his rate of percentages, then we got to go back and figure
that.
Corrie: Gary does our plumbing inspector work full time for us or you say he works for
other cities as well?
Smith: I believe he works for Middleton and Star as well as the mechanical and the
building inspector.
Bird: But he is a company isn't he?
Smith: He's a corporation.
Bird: And he does have other employees that -
Smith: No.
Bird: I mean I've never heard any complaints of not getting our stuff inspected.
Smith: I haven't received any complaints and I don't know whether he has other
employees. The only one that I know our building official has an employee.
Gigray: Mr. Mayor and members of the Council and Mr. Smith, I guess the issue here
that I would want to see clarified is what the intention is on Harold Electric, Inc. in terms
of if this were retroactive to October 1 and proposed here. I would assume then the City
would have to go back and do an accounting of all fees collected that would be subject
this and then provide for the retro increase. Or if it is subject to increase subsequent to
the date of approval, we can write that into the contract so that it prospectively and
that's just - I don't know what he's expecting. I would just need some clarification there
so when we write the final draft of this, it's in there.
Bentley: My feeling as I've expressed for three years now that this is way too much
money and we've started the process maybe bring it on board to ourselves provided we
can get things lined up. I'm not in favor of the change in the plumbing inspector's or the
mechanical and I agree with Mr. Gigray. We need to - it reads FY '98 so to me it
automatically is retroactive, but I think that has to be clarified before we can take action
on them. As far as the building and electrical, I think we can take action on those two
(

MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 16, 1999
PAGE 40
and just include on the building side the language for the occupancy permit and follow
up.
Corrie: Comments to my left? Mr. Rountree?
Rountree: Mr. Mayor I - you know building and electrical there's no change so
obviously there's no question. The other two proposing changes are they
commensurate with the level of work and what needs to be done. I don't have any
heartburn with the mechanical. The plumbing doesn't really create a great concern
other than I would like to better understand the revenue generation and it seems to me
that maybe it's inherent in the cost that's being higher for plumbing versus for
mechanical and electrical inspections. I guess in fairness to them all, the percent of
total revenue as a basis of permit revenue ought to be same, but the permit revenues
ought to be in line with one another as well, so that's the problem I have with the
plumbing. The permit revenues are significantly higher than the rest, which maybe the
reason why his percent is much lower than the rest. I don't understand the rationale
that went into the original contracts, and I would like to see that resolved before I could
feel comfortable doing anything with the plumbing. The mechanical, the electrical.and
the building I have no problem with. The question of retroactivity needs to be
addressed as well.
Bird: Mr. Mayor I believe your difference in your fee is there's more involved in
plumbing - more plumbing fees involved and you have to have plumbing fees for
ditches and stuff like that even you're bringing in where you don't have mechanical and
stuff like that. I think that probably helps revenue. The building and the electrical, other
than the wording in the building to add that one phrase is fine. I agree the mechanical I
would just present the same contract to him. With those three you don't have to worry
about going back to October 1 st because they've been working on the same thing. The
plumbing his total percent of revenue is about 8% less than the electrical, 12% less than
mechanical. If we had been on the - used the existing system that he's proposing last
year, he would have got $14,000 more, which would have been $14,000 less for our
department. So building, electrical and mechanical I have no problem. I think the
plumbing we may need to discuss and see what we want to do.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor kind of along the same lines as Councilman Rountree was talking
about, without understanding the rationale of how they put together these prices and not
knowing the history of how these contracts were developed, to me it's a shot in the dark
right now to guess whether these increases are warranted or if he just wants an
increase because another guy is getting a higher percentage than him. I would be in
favor of asking the two that are wanting an increase to come before us and explain their
rationale and why they need the increase if there's increased man hours and things like
that more cost to them then I would have a better clearer understanding about why
they're asking for these increases. If not then it appears to me like we need to start
(
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 16, 1999
PAGE 41
looking at as Councilman Bentley pointed out getting our own inspectors if these guys
are just getting to the point where they're getting greedy and wanting to drive the cost
up because somebody else is getting more than them. So my recommendation would
be to get them in here and have them explain why they want these increases.
Corrie: We got the building inspector. Everybody's in agreement that we need to add
the occupancy permit. Electrical stays the same. At one point we discussed that it
would be 40% anything over 60 to over 75,000 would be 40% and then quite a bit of
discussion on the plumbing. So you have your choice of I guess where you want to go.
Mr. Anderson or with your Mr. Bird or the combination of the two the other Council. At
this point let's get a -
Bentley: Mr. Mayor I would move we approve the contracts for FY '98 for the building
and the electrical with the addition verbiage for the occupancy permit in the building
department and authorize the Mayor to sign and the Clerk to attest.
Bird: I would second that.
Corrie: Okay motion made by Mr. Bentley second by Mr. Bird to approve the FY '98 on
the building inspector with the addition of the occupancy inspections as well as the
electrical contract that was presented without any change. Any further discussion?
Rountree: Mr. Mayor just a point of clarification. It probably for fiscal year '99 what
have before us is what was in fiscal year '98.
Bentley: That's correct. I meant '99.
Corrie: (Inaudible) Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the
motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Corrie: Now, would somebody like to make -
Anderson: Mr. Mayor I would like to have the mechanical and plumbing inspector
services come and explain to the Council their justification why they're asking for the
increases and set that for the March 2nd Council meeting.
Rountree: I'll second that.
Corrie: Motion made by Mr. Anderson second by Mr. Rountree to have the mechanical
and plumbing inspectors come to the City Council meeting of March 2, 1999 and explain
(
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 16, 1999
PAGE 42
why they are requesting the increase that they have. Any further discussion? Hearing
none, all those in favor of the motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Smith: That was March 2nd?
Corrie: March 2nd.
Smith: I will so inform them. Thank you.
3. UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD CROSSING AGREEMENT:
Smith: The next item I have is an agreement for the waterline crossing of Union Pacific
Railroad right-of-way on Ten Mile Road. This crossing is necessary to extend the water
line from its present location on Ten Mile Road north of Pine to the development that's
taking place by Hansen Hunemiller on the south side of the Union Pacific Railroad track.
The agreement that Union Pacific Railroad sent to me requests a resolution or other
authorization for our Mayor and City Clerk to execute the agreement. The other
information provided in that memo is just for your information. The fees on all the
crossing permit expediting fees etc are being paid by the developer, Hansen
Hunemiller. Except for the contractors' right of entry and I suppose they will pay that as
part of the contractors cost to construct the waterline extension.
Gigray: Mr. Mayor and members of the Council just a point of information. This
agreement provides th~t we must include Union Pacific as additional insured and the
Clerks office facilitate that certificate or just so we're in compliance with that, and I
would also say that my review of the agreement it looks good because it doesn't appear
to have a termination date, and I think that was important for the long term on this.
Smith: And we try very hard to cross all the 1's and dot all the I's when we're dealing
with the Union Pacific Railroad folks so that they don't have problem with these
agreements.
Bentley: Hopefully we'll own that someday and we won't have to worry about it.
Smith: Yes, correct, thank you. So unless you have any questions I'd request your
approval for the Mayor to sign and the City Clerk to attest the agreement with Union
Pacific Railroad for this waterline crossing of the right-of-way on Ten Mile Road.
Rountree: Mr. Mayor I move that we approve the agreement with Union Pacific
Railroad for the waterline crossing and authorize the Mayor to sign and the Clerk to
attest.
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL

Anderson: Second.
Corrie: Motion made by Mr. Rountree second by Mr. Anderson to approve the Ten Mile
waterline crossing with UPRR motion as stated. Any further discussion?
Bentley: Did I understand the attorney that we need a resolution for this?
Gigray: The clerk's office has a form for resolution. I think Angel has it on the computer
there and they can just generate those as you pass them and the minutes supply them.
If that's not the case notify me and we'll get you the disc for it.
Bentley: Okay thank you.
Corrie: 213. Any discussion questions? All those in favor of the motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Smith: Thank you Mr. Mayor and Council.
4. AWARD BID FOR CLEANING AND T.V. INSPECTION OF SEWER
SYSTEM:
Smith: The next item I have is the results of a bid opening that we had on January 28,
1999 for cleaning and television inspection of sanitary sewer lines. This is an ongoing
project that we have for all of our sewer lines. (End of Tape)
Smith: ... bid for Municipal Service Company of Idaho, Inc. That is the same contractor
that has been doing all the other work that we've had for the past several years. The
contractor's bid is relatively the same as you can see on the exhibit. There are just
some minor difference in unit prices. The contractor has been doing a very good job
providing very quality cleaning and quality television inspection of our lines. We're very
please with his work. Unless you have any questions I would request approval of this
bid to Municipal Service Company of Idaho in the amount of $113,178.60 to authorize
Mayor Corrie to sign and the City Clerk Berg to attest.
Rountree: Mr. Mayor I move that we award the contract to Municipal Service Company
of Idaho in the amount of $113,178.60 authorize the Mayor to sign and the Clerk to
attest the agreement.
Bird: Second.

5. EMERGENCY REQUEST TO CONNECT TO CITY SEWER AT 911
E. PINE BY WALT CULVER.
Smith: Thank you Mr. Mayor and Council. The last item I have is an emergency
request form Walt Culver who owns some property at 911 E. Pine. They have a septic
tank drain field serving the sewage at that home. This home is not located within
Meridian City limits however it does front on E. Pine within which the city has a sewer
line that presently serve Treasure Valley Business Center to the east and Crossroad
Subdivision. The trunk line that was built in 1977 -78 is located along the west
boundary of this parcel of ground. This property owner it's my understanding gave the
easement to the City of Meridian for $1 and other considerations. The question that the
property owner has what other considerations were. It's not well defined within the
easement document. Their concern and they're here this evening to speak to you their
concern is that the since the property is outside the city limits by ordinance we have a
requirement for a double assessment fee and their concern is that double assessment
fee as concerns the granting of the easement for the interceptor line that was built in
1977-78. At the time that the sewer line was extended to the east in Pine to the
Treasure Valley Business Center, some services were installed to the properties along
the south side of Pine. I don't have real good information record on it, but I do show on
a print that I found that there was a 20 foot length of service pipe that was extended to
the property to facilitate future connection. I think that's basically the history on the
house and the request that Mr. Culver has made to me and I requested that he send
this letter to you for Council approval as our ordinance requires. He is here this evening
and may want to address you and give you any additional background that he may have
on the easement that was granted in the late 1970's for construction of the trunk line. I
think they're very willing to pay the single assessment. The question is the do.uble
assessment.
Rountree: I have a question for Gary. What do we now in terms of an easement? Do
we commonly get them granted for a dollar or are we paying for other hookups or are
we have to pay essentially the cost of the right-of-way what's the norm or is there one?
Smith: To this time we haven't had to pay for an easement. We have conceded some
tradeoffs in terms of providing a service to the property for future connection providing
certain of the ground around man holes for example, but typically it's been providing the
ability of the property to access the sewer at a future date such as a service line or
providing a stub out of a man hole so that it can be extended at a future date by the
(
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 16, 1999
PAGE 45
property owner should they develop. Sometimes there were concessions made at the
time they develop. I can recall one on Five Mile trunk going to St. Luke's where we
agreed with the property owner in return for the easement that at the time they
developed the property would not be required to maintain the gravel access road across
the top of the sewer. However we did require that they maintain permanent access to
the manholes. So we dropped that requirement at that time that they would develop.
So there are some concessions that we make in terms of facilitating the easement, but
like I say so far we haven't had to reimburse anyone for the cost of the easement. I'm
sure that's coming. I think we have continued to maintain the attitude that the presence
of the sewer increases the value of the land. I still maintain that that's a true statement.
Gigray: Mr. Mayor and members of the Council, one of the things I'm trying to do at this
time in working with Gary's office is to develop a form which we would use as a form
contract for the extension of water and sewer services outside of the city limits, and I
think we've just about got that model done. Other facets of that is that they would agree
as terms of the agreement that the sewer line or the water line is going to be subject to
the terms and conditions of our sewer use ordinances and that they will agree to
annexation at such time and place as it becomes available for annexation so that the
system can then become part of the city through annexation and that they extend the
lines if it's necessary in accordance with city specifications and requirements at their
expense to wherever it's hooked up to that is part of our system. Now if our system is in
front of their property, then it may just be a hookup. But I think our form will take care of
those particular things and maybe in this instance the biggest issues was the fee.
Smith: Yes, it is. I'm pretty sure that the sewer stub can be found with a little
prospecting. Mr. Culver's got the prospecting equipment. So I don't see that as a big
stumbling block, but the double assessment fee was a question that they raised to me
and I said well it would be best if you came and presented your case to Mayor and
Council and -
Rountree: I had a question for Bill on reading this easement. I can't distill out of any
language in here that the intent was not to - or it was to waive any fee. At the time that
this was prepared by in 77 I don't know that we had the double assessment. Did we?
Smith: I'd have to look in the ordinance book and see when that was - I'm not sure I
can by even looking in the ordinance book. The bulk of the ordinance was written about
that time because it was a requirement in order to get the government funds for the
building of the sewer and water system. So it may have been.
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, Councilman Rountree, members of the Council the one I have is
very difficult to read. So I don't that I have a clear enough copy to say. It doesn't appear
in what I can see in the whereas provisions which are really set forth the intent and kind
of the background of the agreement that there would be evidence there that would
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 16, 1999
PAGE 46
support a waiver of future fees and it's something that I would certainly recommend this
Council not engage in the future because you know the methodology that we're using
now is requiring people to put in things and then we get into agreements to provide
them with latecomer fees which I think is the appropriate way to do that and then you
have the terms and conditions specifically spelled out, and there's a limitation of time
and so on and so forth.
Rountree: Are the terms the other good and valuable consideration where that might lie
and is that subject to-
Gigray: In my opinion - the only time that you go outside of an agreement or an
easement is if there is an ambiguity in the agreement as to whether - if you got an
illegal action whether anyone could bring in what we call parole elements or other
evidence or agreements or anything that was said to clarify an ambiguity. That is such
standard language and any contract or any easement or any deed it would be in my
opinion of no specific significance other than it would be support for the fact that there
was consideration for entering into the easement. You know if they were going to
challenge it on the basis well there was no consideration so the easement is void and
that claim isn't being made.
(Inaudible)
Corrie: It's your property I assume so yes, ma'am. Would you like to -
Culver: My name is Alice Culver and we are the owners of the property at 911 E. Pine,
and I just want to give you some facts that you probably don't know. When this
easement was written that property was a farm. The easement is 30 foot wide going
north and south the entire distance of the property. The lady was 80 years old I
understand at the time she gave it. She's 100 years old now. We bought this property
in June. They told us when this came up on our title report that there was an easement.
We immediately questioned them why. They told us that it was because the City had
agreed to hook on her house whenever down the road in lieu of paying for that sewer
line to go up her property line. They took 30 feet on the west edge of her property. The
entire north and south distance and in this I mean I know it's really loosely written but it
says now therefore in consideration of the benefits to be received that's really all it says,
but it says to be received. That to me backs up what the daughter told us when we
bought the property that it was a future sewer hookup fee and I just wanted to bring that
to the attention of the City Council and hope that you make a decision today because
we do have a failed tank. It needs something. Thank you.
Corrie: Okay thank you. Council any other discussion? (Inaudible)
Smith: No, sir. I don't have any other comments to make.
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 16, 1999
PAGE 47
Bentley: I wish there was some way we could research it.
Bird: Yeah, we could probably look at the minutes, but that was a farm and this was in
77 or 78. Don Storey was the Mayor. I can believe it.
Rountree: I guess I have a question of the Culvers. How receptive are you to
annexation?
Culver: I wouldn't have a problem with annexation at all.
Rountree: Okay. Thank you.
Culver: (Inaudible)
Rountree: We'd help you.
(I naudible)
Rountree: Mr. Mayor I would move that we approve the request of Walter A. Culver and
Alice Culver to hook up to the city sanitation system that's stubbed to their property with
the condition that they pursue annexation into the City of Meridian and that the fee for
the hook up would be the normal residential hook up fee.
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Motion made by Mr. Rountree second by Mr. Bird to approve the emergency
request for connection to city sewer with the condition that they come into the city limits
and the fee would be the normal fee for connection in the city limits.
Gigray: Point of information Mr. Mayor. Would that include that we would prepare the
appropriate extension agreement as we're trying to do anytime we extend water lines
outside of the city with these property owners?
Bird: We're not extending -
Corrie: It's there.
Smith: It's just a connection.
Gigray: But we're still connecting to someone outside of the city limits.
Smith: Yes.
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 16, 1999
PAGE 48
Bird: Yes, we are.
Gigray: But I mean we can modify that agreement for this situation I think we easily. I
just think it's a good idea to have those so that it's clear if they're hooked to your system
that at such point as they can be annexed, that provision is automatic. We would record
the agreement so if they sell the property we have subsequent owners, it's considered a
written application for annexation and meets that hurdle.
Rountree: Let's be as clear as we can because we're working with (inaudible) now.
Bird: Let's make sure 20 years from now they don't have the same problem.
Rountree: Yes to your question.
Smith: They are contiguous to existing city limits.
Gigray: Oh, they are.
Smith: Yes, the annexation process could start immediately.
Gigray: So you don't think we need it then.
Smith: I don't think so. I don't know if we need any vehicle to ensure that the
annexation process takes place or not. The approval by the Council is going to be on
that basis that they do proceed with the annexation request. Obviously along with that
would be payment of the fees for the annexation. I don't know what that amounts to.
How big is that parcel of ground? About an acre. I guess if-
Gigray: Well if they're going to proceed with annexation I'd agree with there's no point
in getting into that. If they weren't going to proceed with annexation I think we could
short form the agreement and take care of it. Whatever you choose.
Corrie: I think the record indicates they are going to proceed with annexation.
Rountree: My preference still would be to short form the agreement. That gives us
some breathing room, it gives them some breathing room.
Smith: Mr. Mayor may I ask Shari about the cost? Shari what would be cost of
annexation?
Stiles: How many acres?
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 16, 1999
PAGE 49
Smith: One acre.
Stiles: It would be - the mailings are 1.73 per mailing and then it's $400 for the
annexation itself. It would be maybe around $500 for the application.
Smith: The applicant says that's acceptable. I guess we just instruct Mr. and Mrs.
Culver to pick up an annexation application from Planning and Zoning Administrator and
proceed with filing the application on the basis of your approval.
Corrie: Any other questions? All those in favor of Mr. Rountree's motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Corrie: So if you'll go ahead and get with Shari and the annexation then we'll take care
of the other for you.
Smith: Thank you Mr. Mayor and Council members, that's alii have.

B. CHIEF GORDON:
1. ANIMAL SHELTER
Gordon: Mr. Mayor, Councilmen, we advertised for bids for a new dog pound, the City
Clerk did. My staff and Councilman Bird personally contacted some contractors in an
attempt to get some bids. We only had one packet picked up and that was filed late and
that was with Lasher Construction. I guess where we're at right now is it was properly
advertised. Do we want to go ahead with the one bid or do you want to reissue? I'm
kind of open here. I don't have a problem with lasher Construction other than my son-
in-law works for them. Doug Lasher assured me that he won't be on site. The bid
appears to be fair as far as I'm concerned.
Bird: Bill we crossed all the 1's and dotted our I's. I feel that this is a legitimate bid,
Lasher Construction worked on it, come in with an honest bid. I don't know what the
state laws - we advertised, we waited. I mean there was a foul up on the deals when
we advertised for February 15th and did something else that the thing said February 3rd
or something I guess was that right? So we waited until the 15th kept it open. I for one
would just as soon give them the award and the contract and let them get to work. You
can have it rebid and now they're getting busy. It's going to cost more money anyway.
And you probably won't get any more bids.
(
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 16,1999
PAGE 50
Bentley: Mr. Mayor yes I would agree with that. We've done the rebidding route once
before and it cost us about $20,000 and if Mr. Gigray doesn't have a problem with it on
the legal side I say we press forward.
Gigray: Based on the information I've heard this evening, it sounds like you've aired on
the side of caution to allow any additional bidder on any time more time to submit a bid
and haven't closed it off. No bids were received and the original bidder would appear to
be the only one that could have complained about that if they filed a timely bid. If you're
comfortable if it meets bid specs and it's a competent bidder, then have at it. It's in the
budget.
Anderson: That was my question. I just wanted to get in my mind now what did we
budget for this? It didn't seem like it was that much.
Gordon: The original bid that I put on my budget was $90,000. That was cut to
$70,000. I have $70,000 in capital outlay for the building.
Anderson: So we're about $18,000 short.
Gordon: Yes, sir. The kennels - they might appear to be rather expensive but they are
professional animal kennels and they are the same as the Idaho Humane Society has
presently. We considered going to a chain link outfit and just having some portable
kennels made and they weren't anywhere close to the quality of these. These are
designed - there's ten kennels which can be split so we have actually have 20 kennels
is what we'll end up with.
Anderson: Is this design of this animal shelter is it also so that we can expand in the
future because I'm sure we'll have the need. Is there room to expand where you plan
on doing this?
Gordon: Yes, sir, there is. With the 20 kennels we're going to put in there now, we
have room in that building to put another ten and there is room to expand down to the
road. We can probably get in another ten to fifteen. That's if Gary Smith would allow
me to encroach on his land out there, which we're doing now. This has been a good
project as far as land acquisition. It hasn't cost us anything yet.
Bentley: On the aspect of the budget, the Chief will have additional revenue coming in
that wasn't budgeted for and that's on the Idaho Power Franchise fee, so he'll have
additional revenue go into his account that should be able to cover the additional
expense.
Bird: Mr. Mayor this is something and maybe I'm way off base. I've bee before, but
things like this that is owned by the city I don't why we keep putting it in each

department's budget. This is a capital improvement for the city, not for the police
department, not for anybody else and that's something I think we need to look at when
we budget again each year. I realize it goes over a little bit Councilman Anderson but to
get it done right, I feel we have to do that. If you want a first class outfit. I think you
need one. By having bought chain link kennels myself for 20 kennels $16,000 isn't
much money and these are much better than the ones I have.
Rountree: Mr. Mayor I have a bit of concern with the budgeted amount and the ultimate
cost. I'm concerned that nobody's interested in bidding on this project. I'm also
concerned with the cost per square foot on this project is somewhere between $55 and
$60 not including the cost of the land which seems to me a rather expensive facility to
house stray dogs. I understand that we're in that business. We're not a rich city.
That's $70-- $80,000 going to the dogs and Mr. Bentley is right no pun intended. I just
point that out that I think that that's something where I (inaudible) and I don't know if we
can do it for any less. I'm not in the construction business. But I know you can buy
housing for that cost - when you're not including the price of the land. I've got to think
that some folks in the - if this was in the newspaper would be a bit upset at that kind of
expenditure. I just point that out. Being sensitive to the accountability aspect of this. I
also know we generate significant fees or some fees as it relates to stray animal fines
and when we budgeted this indicated that that's how we were going to pay for this and
I'm all for that. That's where that money should go because that's why we're collecting,
but just point that out that this is over what was budgeted and -
Bird: The building isn't over.
Rountree: The building is not but as a functional building it is.
Bird: I agree the cost per deal is pretty high, but you look down through the specs,
you're getting a metal building. You're getting sheet rock, you're getting insulation,
you're getting all your gas heater, all this stuff. It goes with the fire station the one - the
one that Garden City just built two years ago, I've got $65 per square foot. Ours is
running a hundred and some dollars a square foot. If you put up a steel building like
we've got - like I've got in my shop yeah you can probably build it for 25 or $30 a
square, but you don't have no insulation, you don't have any of that kind of stuff. So I
wish we had more than one bidder, so did Chief, I called three personal contractors
asked them to pick it up. I don't know.
Anderson: Did we have a set of drawings or was this just kind of we surmised that we
needed or was it an architect?
Gordon: It was a design and build RFP. We had the basic specs, the height, the
measurements, the basic measurements, had a floor plan basically and went off of that.
It's kind of a simple building. It has a small office in one end. Everything is sheet
(
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 16, 1999
PAGE 52
rocked and insulated inside to maintain some type of temperature for winder months.
It's not just an empty shell of a steel building. And I can't help but think there's just so
much out there. They just - they didn't see enough profit in it to bother bidding. We
didn't even get any calls. Even the ones we called wouldn't return our calls. So I'm
open I would (inaudible) Councilman Bird as far as the cost goes. He's more familiar
with that than I am.
Bird: You know it's an expensive square foot, but you're getting a lot for that. If we just
want a steel building and stuff we can probably knock it down a bit. If we want to go to
cheaper kennels we can probably go to cheaper kennels. Ten years from now we'd
probably be changing them out, but I don't like the cost. And I'm sure I'm like Chief, I
wish we had more than one bid.
Corrie: In order to speed this up, I'll entertain a motion - Mr. Gigray-
Gigray: Just for the Council's information I would just note it seems like you have a
major retailer in this community Zam Zow's that really I think made a major effort in
advertising and trying to get this Idaho Humane Shelter out at Gowen Field up to snuff
and I remember that a major campaign and if you move forward with this and you get
any repercussions about this, they may be a real good source of information about why
decent shelters for animals is important to the community.
Gordon: Kind of along those lines we had that article in the Statesman. Martin Johncox
did an outstanding job for us as far as our shelter out there. We were just over run the
next day with phone calls, people volunteering to come out and paint or feed the dogs
or just a multitude of things. One outfit was going to round up a bunch of contractors
and come out and just go through the whole existing pound. I don't know they are going
to respond to the cost of the shelter, but I can tell you people think more of their dogs
than they do - they won't open the penitentiary out there to put crooks in, but they want
a dog pound that's -
Bentley: Can we rent that?
Gordon: We could get a hold of Governor Kempthorne. I'm sure he'd sublease it out to
us. There has been some comments of late about the condition of our pound, and it is
getting - there's not much we can do. Paint won't help it any more.
Bentley: Also when we raised the rates on the pick up fees for dogs and licenses, the
intent of that revenue was to rebuild the kennel or to build a new one because rebuilding
the old one was impossible since it's already been added to once and the big expense
you got is your sloping floor with drains. It is expensive, but I still think we need to go
with it, because the first time animal rights shows up down here, we'll be doing it.
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL

Anderson: I'll bit the bullet on this because I'm a dog lover, but I will make a motion that
we approve the contract with Lasher Construction for a bid amount of $69,900 and T-
Kennel Systems for $16,980 to build a new dog kennel.
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Motion made by Mr. Anderson second by Mr. Bird to contract with Lasher
Construction bid of $69,900 and T-Kennel Systems for $16,980 for a total of $87,880.
Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: 3 AYES 1 NAY.
Gordon: Thank you gentlemen. I would like to just one more item, I would like to
commend Mr. Gigray on the speed in which he researched and got those two
ordinances ready for us. We were needed and I did appreciate it. Thank you.
Corrie: Mr. Gigray, do you have anything at this point?
C. BILL GIGRA Y:
RESOLUTION #214
Gigray: Mr. Mayor and members of the Council I was asked at the last Council meeting
to prepare a proposed resolution for the establishment of a ad hoc committee for solid
waste. We have submitted that for various approvals through various departments
through the Mayor and also with Sanitary Services, Inc. and I apologize for just getting
the final draft to you this evening, but we have obtained those approvals subject to a
couple of comments, and if you want the original is on the top there Mr. Mayor, the
copies are - this is drafter first with findings. One of the things just as a point of actually
just memory on this whole issue if you determine at some point you want to make a
permanent committee out of this committee it will require us to draft an ordinance. You
can do it by resolution though. If it's not a permanent committee and this provides in
section 2.1 that this committee would exist for a period of one year. You could do
annual renewals but you would have to recommission it. It proposes five members
including Public Works Director, the MUSS supervisor, Planning and Zoning
Commission Chairman, a Council member and a resident at large to be appointed or
nominated by the Mayor and approved by the Council. One of the comments that I
have received this evening from Mr. Gregory was some question about who should
actually be serving that committee. Steve did comment to me this afternoon and
approved generally the form of this resolution. We've tried to establish the duties of this
ad hoc committee in section three dealing with issues of franchises, issues with
ordinance and programs which the solid waste franchise holder would propose to
initiate in the city and then to advise the City Council about all those matters. Mr.
I
!,
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 16, 1999
PAGE 54
Gregory asked me a question about the need for potential or for advice by the City
Attorney's Office in this matter and I advised him that that's part of our standard duty is
to staff committees as they are needed to be staffed and that they would be provided
with legal assistance automatically as part of the city's policy.
Corrie: Mr. Gigray, do you have any comment on this since this is part of your company
is involved in your ad hoc committee. I know it's not a public hearing but I'd like to have
your input on this real quick.
Gregory: It's Mr. Gregory not Gigray, close enough. Bill Gregory Sanitary Service
Company and the only comments I had was there may be a lot of code and ordinance
questions and so forth that may apply to not only city ordinance and code but also state
that I was hoping that we would have legal representation on the committee that could
advise us you know along every step of the way. There's a lot of promotion and
education material and a lot of programs we wish to implement and I mean we've spent
$10,000 for waste oil, holding tanks, and tanks for the solid waste vehicles to collect
motor oil at the curb. We want the committee's input and involvement on how to design
and press releases and so on and so forth on behalf of the city on how to promote the
education. The public are our citizens and our customers on what we plan to do and
how we want to do it. Those types of issues I don't know I guess in regards to
designating the Public Works Director, you know, maybe the Public Works Director
would want to appoint someone or representative from his department as well to serve
on the committee rather than the Director himself. Then again the Planning and Zoning
Chairman, I think Mr. Gigray has addressed that already and I think that's up to the
department heads to (inaudible) but I think you know I'm extremely looking forward to
pleasantly looking forward to the opportunity of working with the committee.
Corrie: Okay thank you. Gary, do you have any objections of being on that as the
Public Works Director?
Smith: No, sir.
Gigray: I just might further comment I think as I mentioned the last meeting of very
timely because we have a number of drafts of proposed ordinances or ordinance
proposed agreement that we're about to the point where we'll be circulating those so the
formation of this committee I think is extremely timely for that whole matter, and I just
want to go on record that when I first heard Mr. Gregory's name I think there would be a
time when he and I could be at the podium at the same time because as a young lad as
I was growing up I had to answer the phone because my dad is an attorney, and every
time when somebody would ask is Mr. Gregory there, so I've had that moment.
Corrie: Very good. So if you would like you can do the resolution tonight then. It's
already set. It's set for the Council. 214. It will be sponsored by whoever makes the
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 16, 1999
PAGE 55
motion. I suppose if you want to do it tonight or you can do it whatever you want. Does
it read the way you want it to read?
Bentley: It sounds good to me.
Corrie: Whoever would like to make the motion I put you as -
Bentley: Mr. Mayor I move that the City of Meridian approve for resolution #214 for the
providing a committee for the solid waste committee.
Rountree: Second.
Corrie: Motion made by Mr. Bentley second by Rountree to approve the resolution
#214 a resolution establishing ad hoc committee for the WWAAC.
(Inaudible)
Corrie: Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the resolution
motion say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Corrie: I'll get you the name. We've been working on that one with Mr. Gregory.
Rountree: Mr. Mayor, one other item for Bill Gigray, otherwise known as Gregory
(Inaudible)
Rountree: We've got this notice on the Jake brake ordinance, I would make a motion
that we accept the recommendation and the memo to us dated February 12th and then
put that aside until further need. The Jake brake ordinance just not do it. We directed
them to do it.
Corrie: Point of information is that is only - ordinance only in the unincorporated areas,
not in the incorporated areas.
Gigray: Correct unless you pass an ordinance it does not apply inside the city limits,
and we always like to route those through the Chief because he's the one that's in
charge of enforcing them and he's real good about getting his information back to us.
That's the information I received so I thought well let's put the brakes on this one.
Anderson: I have here the contract for the architectural services with ZGA for the fire
station. We instructed the City Attorney to go over the contract that was a standard AlA
(
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 16, 1999
PAGE 56
contract, and he found some items in there that he questioned and so I've got a revised
copy of those back and they have incorporated all of Mr. Gigray's comments in there
and so we'll present this to you and I guess we've already given you the authorization to
sign that thing. And the architectural firm has been gracious enough to start working
with us, but they need the signed contracts with the other engineering firms that are
going to do mechanical and electrical and until we get a signed agreement from you he
can't sign those contracts with those folks so that's the original so if you could get that
signed and a copy back to them, we would appreciate it.
Bird: It's been passed and everything.
Corrie: It just needs my signature?
Bird: Just needs your signature and the Clerk to attest.
Corrie: I think we're going to have an executive meeting next according to state code
67 -2345 to executive session on property acquisition. Motion's been that we go into
Executive Session according to state code. All those in favor say aye.
Rountree: Before you get out of here tonight let Will know when you can meet with
ACHD.
Bird: I thought we already - we've all done it.
Corrie: The 26th?
Bird: Is the Charlie the only one -
15. EXECUTIVE SESSION - PROPERTY ACQUISITION:
Corrie: Okay we've come out of Executive Session at 12:20 talking about purchase of
property. No decisions were made and no voting was taken. So in that case I will
entertain a motion that we adjourn.
Anderson: So moved.
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and second that we adjourn at 12:20. All in favor say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.

provide fire protection to the Hansen-Hunemiller development of Self Storage Units along the west side

UPRR is requesting "a resolution or other authorization" (I assume a copy of the meeting minutes
would suffice) for our Mayor and City Clerk to execute this agreement We also need to provide a
Certificate of Insurance to UPRR in the amounts requested.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Ada County Mayors and Commission
DATE:
February 5, 1999
RE:
Air Quality Ordinances
Reauested Action
Adopt the attached J.oint Powers Agreement and Air Quality Ordinance.
Background
The Ada Planning Association Board, in March of 1998, adopted a far-reaching air quality plan:
Air Quality Program for Treasure Valley. A major component of this plan (see pages 13-25 in
the attached copy of the plan) consists of a set of recommended changes in Ada County's
Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Program administered by the Air Quality Board. I have
revised the existing air quality ordinances consistent with the new plan and reviewed it with
several attorneys representing Ada County cities and Ada County. Their suggestions for
improvement have been incorporated into the proposed ordinance.
Status
I have enclosed two copies of the proposed ordinance. We will make electronic or multiple print
copies available to you if you desire.
A great deal is happening with respect to air quality in Ada County. This particular ordinance
revision strengthens the carbon monoxide testing already being performed by the Air Quality
Board. Additionally, it empowers the Air Quality Board to initiate testing that will help reduce
particulate matter pollution. The Ada Planning Association Board unanimously adopted the plan
with these provisions and strongly requests that you adopt the Joint Powers Agreement and
ordinance changes at your earliest convenience.
(208) 345-5274 · Fax (208) 345-5279 · www.planning.cog.id.us
I will personally be the primary point of contact as you review this request with your councilor
commission. In the event that I am unavailable, Ali Bonakdar will ably perform that function. I
will have Cinda Perry contact each of you within the next week to determine what your schedule
may be for adoption. Thank you.

1.2. SHORT TITLE
This Ordinance may be cited as The 1999 Motor Vehicle Emissions Control Ordinance.
1.3. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS AND PURPOSE OF ORDINANCE
It is found and declared that exhaust emissions from Motor Vehicles are a major source of air
pollution throughout Ada County and such air pollution is a health hazard to all residents of the
County and its incorporated cities;
It is further found and declared that an effective system of periodic motor vehicle inspection and
maintenance will reduce the level of vehicular-based air pollution;
It is further found and declared that the federal government has mandated to the several states
and local entities the ultimate responsibility for periodic motor vehicle inspection and
maintenance;
It is further found and declared that Ada County has been designated as a non-attainment area
for both carbon monoxide and small particulate matter (PM1o) and as such is mandated under
the Federal Clean Air Act to reduce emissions so that the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards will be attained and maintained;
It is further found and declared that Ada County and its incorporated cities will be monitored for
PM2.5 and ozone in the immediate future, and that the primary source of both of these pollutants
in Ada County is exhaust emissions from motor vehicles.
It is further found and declared that fuel economy is a legitimate legislative purpose and that an
efficient emissions control program will result in motor vehicle fuel savings for the residents of
Ada County and its incorporated cities;
It is further found and declared that Ada County and its incorporated cities are duly authorized
to enact and enforce this Ordinance under Idaho Code 931-714 and 9..., respectively;
The purposes of this Ordinance, therefore, are to protect the health and welfare of the citizens
of Ada County and its incorporated cities, to provide for the continued control and management
of exhaust emissions above certain levels as determined by the Federal Clean Air Act, as
amended, as well as Rules for the Control of Air Pollution in the State of Idaho (IDAPA

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Introduction. This paper provides a broad overview .of air quality concerns in Ada County,
Idaho, and recommends a series of modifications and enhancements to existing air quality
maintenance and improvement programs both in Ada County and the surrounding area. The
purpose of these recommendations is to establish a proactive stance on behalf of area
residents' health .and local government agencies charged with maintaining air quality. These
recommendations, if implemented, promise to:
1. Maintain healthy air quality throughout the Treasure Valley;
2. Minimize impacts on the general public of current and proposed air quality control
measures; and
3. Retain control of air quality programs by Treasure Valley local governments rather than
abdicating future program direction to state or federal agencies.
Northern Ada County is designated nonattainment for carbon monoxide (CO) and particulate
matter smaller than 10 microns in diameter (PM10), Although air pollution levels in Ada County
have reduced significantly over the past several decades, recent evidence points to a reversal
of this trend, largely due to side-effect~ of increased vehicle usage. Furthermore, air quality has
clearly become a Treasure Valley (as opposed to an Ada County) issue, since growth is having
a significant impact on Ada and most surrounding counties.
Use of automobiles throughout the Treasure Valley continues to increase faster than population
growth. Air quality impacts of i.ncreased vehicle use now threaten the oft-cited pristine nature of
the Valley. MeasLires must be taken to cope with adverse effects of such growth.
Program Objectives. Beyond the general goals cited above, specific objectives of the
recommendations contained in this program are to:
1. Enhance efficiency of the existing vehicle inspection program by decreasing the cost of
annual testing, increasing convenience and expanding functions;
2. Monitor other health-hazard vehicle emissions which are not currently tested as part of
the annual Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Program;
3. Address air quality issues as Treasure Valley issues; and
4. Increase stringency and enforcement of current air quality improvement measures.
Recommendations. Twenty-one recommendations are proposed, generally classified into
administrative and operational recommendations with short and long-range components of
each. Short term recommendations are anticipated to be implemented as soon as practical;
long range ones will likely take three-ta-five years. These recommendations can be summa-
rized in the following general categories:

REGIONAL GROWTH AND AIR QUALITY
The Treasure Valley has experienced rapid population growth over the past ten 'years, similar to
earlier population growth spurts of the 1960's and 1970's only sustained for a longer period of
time. The total population of Ada and Canyon Counties has increased from 295,851 in 1990 to
372,584 in 1996, an increase of 30% or nearly 60/0 per year. Recent population projections for
the Valley point to nearly 555,000 residents by 2020. Table 1 and Figure 1 track the actual and
forecast population changes for the Treasure Valley from 1980 through 2020.

This dramatic growth in population, however, is overshadowed by an even more dramatic
growth in vehicle miles of travel (VMT). For the past decade, VMT has been growing at nearly
twice the rate of population growth. Ada Planning Association's computerized travel forecasting
model predicts that by 2020, VMT in Ada County alone will reach nearly 10 million per day,
producing more than 232,000 kilograms of carbon monoxide (CO) and more than 10,0001
kilograms of small particulate matter (PM10) emissions per day.
Negative air quality impacts of population and VMT growth have been held in check in Ada
County since 1981 by a combination of several factors enumerated on page 8. This achieve-
ment, however, is now being overwhelmed by the rapid growth in VMT. It is estimated that by

press time. A new emission inventory for these particulates is in preparation.

A REVIEW OF AIR QUALITY CONCERNS IN THE TREASURE VALLEY
There are six pollutants for which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has national
standards. These are carbon monoxide (CO), Ozone (03), particulate matter smaller than 10
microns in diameter (PM10), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx) and lead (Pb). Areas
whose air contains any of these pollutants above EPA's National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS) are designated as IINonattainmentll areas. Northern Ada County, north of the
Boise Baseline, has been designated as nonattainment for two of these pollutants, CO
and PM10. Canyon County has not been designated as nonattainment for any of the above
pollutants. In recent years, however, air quality concerns for Canyon County have led the Idaho
Division of Environmental Quality (IDEO) to install air quality monitoring devices in the City of
Nampa. Results have shown relatively high concentrations of PM1o.
A. Carbon Monoxide in Northern Ada County
On a typical winter day in Ada County, 750/0 of the carbon monoxide (CO) in the air is produced
by vehicle emissions; most of the rest comes from wood burning. There are no significant
industrial sources of CO in Ada County (such as a 'smoke stack' factory). Table 2 and Figure 4
show the various sources of CO in Ada County and their contributions to the CO problem.

National health standards established by EPA require that an area's 8-hour concentration of CO
be less than 9 parts per million (ppm). In spite of population and VMT growth noted earlier, Ada
County has not experienced a violation .of CO standards since 1987. Figure 5 depicts improve-
ment of CO concentration in Ada County over the past 20 years.
As mentioned earlier, benefits from these emission reductions have been increasingly offset by
the growth in vehicle use. Ada County experienced one exceedance of CO in 1991. Technically,
a violation of the national air quality standards occurs when two exceedances are measured in
a single year. The lack of violations in the past few years led EPA, in 1992, to designate Ada
County as a IINot-classified Nonattainment areall for CO. This designation, however, does not
relieve the area from the requirement of Air Quality Conformity for its transportation plans,
programs and projects.

PM10 concentrations generally occur in wintertime, during stagnation of atmospheric air in the
Valley. Current evidence shows that as the Treasure Valley grows, the PM10 problem will grow
more serious.
Health Effects of Small Particulate Matter. PM10 irritates the membranes of the respiratory
system, possibly resulting in aggravation of existing respiratory and cardiovascular diseases,
alteration of the body's defense system, carcinogenesis, and premature mortality. In addition,
PM10 is strongly correlated with infant mortality in urban areas4.
State Implementation Plan f~r Small Particulate Matter. A 1991 State Implementation Plan
(SIP) for PM10 identified woodbu.rning as a major source of PM10 in Ada County. Mobile sources
were responsible for 25% of PM10 emissions in wintertime. A substantial portion of this problem
occurred when vehicle tires came into contact with sand placed on roadways to minimize
impacts of snowfall. A contingency plan to reduce winter-time PM10 levels was submitted to
EPA in July 1995. This plan emphasized improved road sweeping practices in wintertime to
reduce PM10. Subsequently, the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) and the Ada County
Highway District (ACHD) adopted and implemented this plan.
Other PM10 control measures need to be adopted to bring levels of this pollutant down in Ada
County. The 1991 Ada County PM10 SIP does not reflect the rapid growth this region has
experienced over the past ten years. Efforts are currently underway to update it, with IDEQ,
APA and ITD currently working together to produce an updated inventory of PM10 sources in
Ada County; sources in adjacent counties, to the extent that they affect PM10 concentrations in
Ada County, are also included. The new document will provide a current, comprehensive PM10
Emission Inventory for Ada County as well as preliminary data on PM2.S emissions. The new
Emission Inventory will be the basis of a more realistic State Implementation Plan for Ada
County's PM10 problem.
c. Additional Air Quality Issues on the Horizon
Continuing rapid growth in population and vehicle miles of travel increase the likelihood that
Ada County will soon (perhaps as soon as the turn of the century) be designated as a non-
attainment area for two. more pollutants.
First, new air quality standards were recently adopted by the Environmental Protection Agency
which require monitoring particulates of 2.5 microns in diameter or less (PM2.S). The new
standards will take effect in the early 2000's and will likely result in a non-attainment status for
Ada County. Canyon County may be similarly affected. Major contributors to PM2.5 are oxides of
nitrogen (NOx) and hydro carbon (HC). These pollutants are created as side effects of emis-
sions from vehicle tail pipes and other sources. In the local atmosphere, oxides of nitrogen
(NOx) emitted from vehicle tail pipes combine with other atmospheric elements to produce tiny
particulate matter. PM2.S particles bypass normal body defenses and lodge deeply in human
lungs.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
A. Goals
This program attempts to accomplish three broad goals related to improvement of air quality in
the Treasure Valley:
1. Maintain healthy air quality throughout the Treasure Valley
Nationwide studie.s show that there are serious human health problems associated with
excessive concentrations of air pollutants discussed in this paper, with. CO and PM 10
being of special and immediate concern. Some of these studies have been conducted in
Ada County. Despite weaknesses in some of the individual studies, the overall brunt of
the research evidence is very clear: Higher levels of these pollutants cause increased
health problems and increased health problems result in increased emotional, social and
economic costs to individuals and the community as a whole. These consequences are
measured both in terms of social well-being and the area's economic vitality or lack
thereof.
2. Minimize the negative impact of air quality control
measures on the general public.
The primary strategy now in place to maintain Ada County's
air quality is the Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance (1M)
Program.
All proposed changes to this program must balance the need to increase air quality
benefits of the program with the equally important goals of reducing unnecessary intrusion
of the program to the public and providing a reasonable opportunity for private providers
of the current program to make a smooth transition to a modified program.
3. Retain control of air quality programs by Treasure Valley local governments
rather than abdicating local authority to federal agencies.
It is evid~nt that local governments must immediately begin to take proactive measures
to prevent deterioration of Treasure Valley air quality. Failure to do so risks virtually
immediate transition of program control from local government to the Environmental
Protection Agency. In general, these state and federal agencies would be mandated by
existing regulations to implement much harsher standards and program changes than
will be required if local governments act proactively and in unison to initiate some of the
most-needed program improvements. Doing so not only retains control of air quality

RECOMMENDATIONS
The recommendations have been grouped into administrative and operational recommenda-
tions with a short range and long range subset under each heading. It is anticipated that full
implementation of recommendations labeled short term will occur in the next one to three years;
long term recommendations will require at least three and perhaps as much as five years for full
implementation.
Original draft recommendations were grouped by the development team into short, medium and
long range recommendations, with the description relating to timing of their implementation.
Presenting recommendations grouped in this fashion seemed confusing to the public input
respondents, so the current grouping scheme was developed. Its structure is in line with
comments received by public input respondents and is intended to make the scope of the
recommendations more easily understood by the general public.
A. Administrative Recommendations
Administrative recommendations pertain to local policies, and particularly to administration of
the existing Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance (1M) Program.
Short Range Administrative Recommendations:
1. Promote Alternative Modes of Transportation. The most effective way to reduce
vehicle emissions is to reduce dependency on single occupancy vehicles as the
predominant means of urban travel. It is a long-standing policy of the Ada Planning
Association Bo~rd as well as the City of Boise to promote alternative means of travel
including transit, carpooling/vanpooling, biking, walking, etc. According to the 1990
Census 81 % of travel to work in Ada County was by means of driving alone; 10oA.
carpooled; 1 % used transit; and BOA> used other means. Ada County's long range
transportation plan, Destination 2015, has established the specific goal of increasing the
share of alternative modes to 250"" of all such trips. Further emphasizing this effort would
further reduce small particulate matter (PM10) emissions.
Recommendation: That local governments in Ada County increase their support for and
emphasis upon public transportation options when practical.
2. Remove The Sunset Clauses from Remaining Air Quality Ordinances. A Vehicle
Inspection and Maintenance (1M) Program, operated under the auspices of the Air
Quality Board, was established in 1984 as a joint action of Ada County, the Ada County
Highway District, and the cities of Boise, Eagle, Garden City and Meridian. Upon their
initial adoption, each of these agencies included a "sunset clause" in their ordinance
which called for termination of the program on a certain date in the future. Realizing the
benefits of the program, during the early 1990.s, each agency periodically extended the
life of the ordinance. In 1997, the cities of Eagle, Garden City and Meridian and the Ada
County Highway District (ACHD) re-adopted the ordinance without any sunset provision,
thus extending its life permanently unless an injunction is formally adopted. Ada County
extended the program, but opted to retain a sunset clause dated 12/31/1999. The City of
Boise extended the program through 12/31/2003. Stability for the 1M Program would be
maximized if Ada County and Boise City also removed their sunset clauses.

4. Expand Participation in the Existing Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Program
to Include AII'Vehicles Which Regularly Use Roadways in the Nonattainment Area.
A substantial number of vehicles based outside the nonattainment area (see Figure 3)
commute into northern Ada County on a regular basis. These vehicles constituted more
than 15% of all trips into and out of the urban area in '1996, a dramatic increase from
10% of such trips in 1990. Nevertheless, none of these vehicles are subject to the
existing Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Program. Reasonableness demands that
this situation be corrected. These vehicles are and have been part of Ada County's CO
problem and are a growing part of the PM10 problem.
To remedy this situation, however, requires action by the Idaho Legislature and requires
a clear definition of 'regular u,se' which is easily understood and reliably measured.
Remote Sensing Device technology gives us the ability to implement reliably almost any
definition of 'regular use.' Therefore, the real challenge will be to determine an accept-
able definition and gain approval of legislators to implement it. The most reasonable
definition would highlight those vehicles causing problems at times of greatest concern,
namely, those vehicles whose purposes are commercial or work-based. Applicability of
such a definition should, of course, be limited to those areas with a state-approved,
vehicle-based emissions inspection program.
Recommendation: (1) That staff of the Ada Planning Association, the Air Quality Board
and the Idaho Division of Environmental Quality prepare a draft definition of 'regular use'
for review by their respective agency policy makers; (2) That these same staff draft
enabling legislation to empower any agency which implements a vehicle inspection and
maintenance program to include in the program all vehicles which 'regularly use' the
roadways in that area; and (3) That this draft legislation be reviewed by the Ada
Planning Association Board and the Air Quality Board for potential submission to the
Idaho State Legislature.
5.
Implement An Alternative Payment Strategy for Vehicle Inspection and Mainte-
nance Program Fees. Currently, each individual who owns a vehicle subject to the 1M
program pays their fee directly to the station where they take the vehicle for testing.
Other recommendations contained in this program intend to exempt many of these
vehicles from the current exhaust emission test provided their exhaust emissions are
satisfactorily monitored by an alternative technique and they pass appropriate thresh-
olds. Coupling a modification of this sort with subsequent operational changes to the 1M
program would also reduce the cost per vehicle from the existing $12.00 to less than
$9.00.
Such vehicles would not have to be taken to stationary testing sites for at least a period
of one year after such an observation. Nevertheless, such vehicles need to pay their fair
share of total Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Program costs. To do so requires a
collection mechanism substantively different than the one currently in place. Discussions
with Idaho Transportation Department staff indicate that this could be handled smoothly
as a fee collected concurrently with the annual vehicle registration process. Current
implementing ordinances for the annual vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Program
do not prohibit the Air Quality Board from pursuing this or other alternative collection
15
/-
Long Range Administrative Recommendations:
7. Separate Vehicle Exhaust Emi~sion Testing Sites from Repair Sites. Currently,
most owners of Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance (1M) Program stations offer their
customers some level of vehicle repair opportunity in the event of a failed test. This
practice is convenient for customers, but is subject to two specific problems which
reduce benefits of the 1M Program.
Most exhaust emission tests in Ada County are now performed by operators of mobile
vans. Operators at these vans are good at operating the testing equipment; maintaining
and monitoring their skill is a major responsibility of the Air Quality Board. However,
there is no comparable mechanism to guarantee that these individuals know how to
solve engine problems, even though they may know how to 'tune' older vehicle engines.
Furthermore, modern vehicle engines have complex combustion and exhaust systems
which simply cannot be adjusted with limited equipment available at the mobile vans.
Repair facilities are much better prepared to analyze an emission failure and are more
likely to have the required parts to fix the vehicle engine properly.
Separating exhaust emissions testing from engine repair maximizes the effectiveness of
both the e.xhaust emission test and any resultant repairs. Initial test facilities, such as
mobile vans, would be authorized to give emission tests without repairs. Their only goal
would be accurate assessment of vehicle .exhaust emissions and operator training could
continue to focus on that goal. Repair facilities which are currently doing some exhaust
emission testing would become certified repair and re-test facilities where the objective
is proper repairs and a clean-burning engine.
~"his separation of functions willli~ely cause some adjustments for existing 1M Program
station owners. Easing those adjustments should be a major concern as the separation
is implemented. Nevertheless, benefits of separating these functions far outweigh the
adjustment factor, especially if the separation can be implemented with enough lead
time and with enough assistance from the Air Quality Board to minimize negative fiscal
consequences to station owners.
Recommendation: (1) That the Air Quality Board be directed to implement a separation
of exhaust emission testing from engine adjustment and repair; (2) That several owners
of existing 1M Program mobile and stationary testing sites be included in a transition
team to insure that this separation is implemented cautiously and with intent to minimize
negative consequences to existing station owners; and (3) That this recommendation be
coupled with recommendation numbers 9 and 10 to smooth both transitions.
8. Reduce Non-Compliance with the Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Program.
Idaho Code, Section 49-401 B provides that Idaho motor vehicles may be registered in
any county in the State, but also requires vehicle owners to designate a 'home' county
for each vehicle so registered. The purpose of the 'home' county designation is so the
vehicle will be correctly counted in funding distribution formulas which are based on
registered vehicles per county. The 'home' county designation is also the only mecha-
nism by which vehicles subject to the existing Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance (1M)

rather than by true competition among private providers. This is an awkward process at
best; at worst, it inflates costs to the public above what true competitive pricing would
cost.
Empowering AQB to contract with exhaust emission test providers rather than license
them has several distinct advantages: the 1M Program can be made much more efficient
and costs of each test can be lowered by at least 250/0; location of stations can be
planned to insure coverage even in less-densely populated areas of the county; and
contract-based programs are documented by EPA to provide more improvement in air
quality than license-based programs. Combined with the separation of exhaust emission
tests and engine repairs, this recommendation will cause some substantial restructuring
of existing relations among the AQB and station owners. To minimize this consequence,
existing station owners need to be involved in the design of the contract-based structure
and participate in its implementation plan.
Recommendation: (1) That the Air Quality Board be empowered to contract with exhaust
emission test providers rather than license them; (2) That a plan to convert to the
contract-based structure and reimbursement schedule be developed by a transition
group which includes existing station owners; and (3) That implementation of this
recommendation be conducted separately from the addition of remote sensing device
technology to maximize existing station owners' ability to adjust to new operating
conditions.
10. Provide Financial Assistance to Expedite Upgrading Vehicle Inspection and
Mainten~nce Program Testing Equipment. Earlier recommendations to modify the
Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance (1M) Program require acquisition and capitalization
of costly additional testing equipment A revolving loan program could provide low-cost
financial assistance for private business owners who will have to purchase this addi-
tional equipment It is important to note that, of all these recommendations, this received
the least public support during the public outreach effort.
Recommendation: That the Air Quality Board be empowered to create a revolving loan
program to lend public funds to 1M station owners at a lower-than-market interest rate
for the limited purpose of acquiring newly required testing equipment.
19
(
Recommendation: That the Air Quality Board be empowered to establish parameters for
a high engine revolutions-per-minute test (E.g. 2500 RPM) and add it to the current idle
exhaust emission test as soon as it can be implemented.
13. Reduce Tailpipe Emissions of Hydrocarbons. Ada CountyJs Vehicle Inspection and
Maintenance (1M) Program currently monitors and controls only carbon monoxide
emissions. Small particulate matter (PM10) pollution, as noted earlier, is also directly
associated with tailpipe emissions of harmful hydrocarbons (He). Hydrocarbons also act
as a catalyst to the formation of ozone (03) in the atmosphere. Controlling He is
therefore a significant way to improve air quality. The existing Vehicle Inspection and
Maintenance (1M) Program currently measures this pollutant and has been doing so for
several years, but no thresholds have been established.
Recommendation: (1) That the scope of the existing Vehicle Inspection and Mainte-
nance Program be expanded to include monitoring and enforcement of maximum levels
of vehicle-based emissions for hydrocarbons (He); and (2) That the Air Quality Board
(AQB) develop maximum allowable thresholds for vehicle-based emissions of He.
14. Address Citizens' Concerns About Smoking Vehicles. Citizen comments in the
public outreach effort overwhelmingly supported efforts to reduce the number of vehicles
on the road that "smoke." There are two actions which, together, would make significant
improvement in this area.
An opacity test is a simple visual test performed by a trained mechanic which compares
the color of a vehicle's exhaust emissions with a standard color chart. Passing this test
is- a sign of a properly functioning engine; failing it indicates that some engine function(s)
is(are) not working properly and that the engine's emission control equipment, in
particular, is malfunctioning. Such a test could easily be added to the existing Vehicle
Irlspection and Maintenance Program virtually immediately.
Failure of the built-in exha~st emission controls in gasoline engines is often sudden and
shows up as a cloud of smoke coming from the vehicle's tailpipe. The Vehicle Inspection
and Maintenance Program currently has no mechanism to require these vehicles to be
brought in for early testing and repair. A smoking vehicle hotline can be established so
that private citizens report such vehicles when observed. Bringing in these vehicles for
early testing can have a very beneficial impact on air quality. On the other hand,
procedures must be in place to protect vehicle owners against frivolous or malicious
misuse of the hotline.
Recommendation: (1) That the Air Quality Board (AQB) be directed to add an opacity
test to the Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Program; (2) That the AQB establish a
training program to teach those individuals who perform vehicle exhaust emission tests
to perform the opacity test reliably; (3) That the AQB develop guidelines for a smoking
vehicle hotline which realize significant benefits while protecting individual vehicle
owners from frivolous or malicious misuse of the hotline; (4) That the A QB take the
proposed guidelines to a public forum for comment; and (5) Pending outcome of the
public forum, that the AQB be empowered to implement a smoking vehicle hotline.
21

Long Range Operational Recommendations:
17. Test Diesel-Powered Vehicles. Diesel engines produce relatively few carbon monoxide
(CO) emissions, but they produce proportionately large amounts of small particulate
matter (PM10) emissions. Nevertheless, diesel-powered vehicles are currently exempt
from the Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Program's annual emission testing
requirement. To curb small particulate matter emissions in the Treasure Valley, diesel-
powered vehicles should be monitored annually in the same fashion as gasoline-
powered vehicles. Costs of this monitoring, however, .are somewhat expensive and
should be implemented with care to help accommodate some of the transition needs of
station owners.
Recommendation: (1) That the Air Quality Board (AQB) establish thresholds for diesel-
engine-produced components of PM10; (2) That the AQB work with existing station
owners to devise a plan to begin testing diesel-powered engine emissions; and (3) That
the AQB be empowered to incorporate testing of diesel-powered vehicles in the 1M
Program as soon as the plan is complete.
18. Reduce Testing Frequency for Clean Vehicles. Remote Sensing Devices (RSDs) are
described in some detail later in this paper. For current purposes, suffice it to say that an
RSD device is capable of a) measuring some vehicle exhaust emissions as vehicles
move at normal speed on roadways, b) capturing the vehicle's license plate number,
and c) matching those data with Idaho Department of Transportation records to gener-
ate a mailing label to the vehicle's owner. Use of RSD technology in conjunction with the
existing stationary exhaust emission tests offers significant opportunities to reduce
program costs and minimize unnecessary visits by 'clean-burning' vehicles to inspection
sites while not reducing overall 1M program efficacy.
Acquiring and implementing RSD technology would be a major modification of the
existing Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Program. It should not be undertaken
without a firm belief that it will satisfy the US Environmental Protection Agency for many
years in the future nor without careful pl~nning. If a decision is made to use RSD
technology, options include the Air Quality Board (AQB) purchasing and operating the
equipment, or private entrepreneurs owning it and operating it under contract with AQB.
To maximize opportunities for existing station owners to maintain their livelihood and to
avoid growth in another government agency, it seems most appropriate for the AQB to
consider contracting with private entrepreneurs to provide this service.
Recommendation: (1) That the Air Quality Board (AQB) make a formal determination as
to whether RSD technology can be utilized effectively in Ada County for at least the next
ten years; (2) That the AQB be encouraged to integrate remote sensing device (RSD)
technology into the existing Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance (1M) Program if the
above determination is in favor of RSD technology; (3) That the AQB establish thresh-
olds by which RSD-generated emission tests can be used as the basis to waive required
1M Program tests at stationary sites; (4) That the AQB review these thresholds with all
appropriate regulatory agencies before adopting them; (5) That the AQB develop, in
conjunction with existing 1M station owners, criteria by which payment could be made to
23
tions on business by focusing on the time of year when small particulate matter pollution
(PM10) is at its worst.
Existing ordinances in Ada County and its cities, for example, curb wood burning during
the peak PM10 season - November 1st through February 28th - when the Idaho
Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) issues air quality alerts. Throughout this
period, DEQ monitors PM10 levels on a daily basis and issues a Pollution Standard Index
(PSI) report. When the PSI is between 60 and 75 (Condition Yellow) a voluntary ban on
woodburning is declared. If PSI reaches 70 and higher (Condition Red), a mandatory
ban on wood burning goes into effect.
This recommendation proposes ordinance changes to reduce PM10 emissions through
use of DEQ's existing PSI index to minimize fugitive dust at construction sites. Two
specific controls should be included in these ordinances. First, vehicles exiting construc-
tion sites often retain a great deal of mud on their tires, much of which is deposited
directly on the roadway surface as the vehicle accelerates. Tires of other vehicles
impact this mud in much the same way ~s winter-time sand, grinding it into smaller and
smaller particles until the really small ones, PM10, remain suspended in the air. Installing
grates or some equivalent control measure at gateways to all construction sites to
remove the mud before it is deposited on roadways seems a small effort to achieve a
substantial gain in air quality. Second, to cover loads of sand, gravel and dirt being
hauled from one location to another is especially effective at preventing localized dust
production during high PM10 periods. Lastly, implementation of both of these changes
should be targeted for November 1 through February 28, as noted earlier.
Recommendation: (1) That Ada County and all cities in Ada County adopt dust mini-
17?/zation ordinances with applicability and enforcement maximized during the peak PM10
se.~son; (2) That these ordinances specifically contain dust minimization and enforce-
~~nt procedures to control dirt and mud tracked from construction sites onto roadways
and to require loads of sand, gravel and dirt to be covered; and (3) That these ordi-
nances provide for levels of stringency in control measures and enforcement keyed to
PSI conditions declared by DEQ.
21. Request Participation/Implementation by Treasure Valley Governments. It has
been pointed out repeatedly throughout these recommendations that air quality prob-
lems, especially those involving particulate matter, are problems throughout the
Treasure Valley, not localized to Ada County in the same way as carbon monoxide
emission problems. Therefore, implementing the foregoing particulate matter
recommendations by local governments in surrounding counties will surely benefit the
entire valley.
Recommendation: That the Ada Planning Association Board request local governments
throughout the Treasure Valley to participate actively in reducing particulate matter
pollutants by participating in and/or implementing appropriate foregoing recommenda-
tions.
25
(
readings will be recorded on the same vehicle over a time period. Owners of observed vehicles
with low emission averages will receive a waiver from the annual vehicle inspection and
maintenance (1M) program. Others will be expected to comply normally with the annual
inspection requirement.
Incorporating this new technology into the 1M program will address major criticisms of the
existipg 1M Program. First, RSD will be able to record the emissions of all vehicles operated
regularly in Ada County, regardless of their county of origin. Second, the new technology will
identify low emission vehicles which will then be exempt from the annual emission test
requirement. This will result in a great deal of convenience to the public since a great majority of
vehicles are in compliance with the standards. Third, by incorporating the new technology into
the Program, the cost of annual emission tests will be reduced substantially. A cost analysis of
the proposed program is shown in Appendix A. Fourth, RSD is capable of measuring NOx and
HC, in addition to CO emissions. The Air Quality Board is not currently regulating these harmful
gases, although He is being measured as part of the annual CO testing.
27
Ada County and 200 households in Canyon County were polled on these issues. These
samples represent a margin of error of :1:5%. A complete copy of this survey is available upon
request.
9. Focus Group Meeting with Canyon County Officials. On July 28, 1997 APA Executive
Director met with Canyon County Officials and discussed the regional nature of our air quality
issues. Canyon County officials expressed the need for cooperation on these mutually
beneficial issues. Further pursuit of these discussions aimed at increased cooperation between
the two counties on Air Quality issues are planned for the future.
10. Media Campaign. A press release on the Air Quality Program was issued which was
.published on June 18, 1997 in The Idaho Statesman. The Air Quality Program was endorsed in
the Editorial column of The Idaho Statesman on June 30, 1997. A copy of this editorial is shown
as Appendix D. The program received air time by a local radio station and two television
stations. The Information Meeting/Open House held on June 25, 1997 was advertised in the
Idaho Statesman on June 20 and 22, 1997. A copy of this advertisement is shown as Appendix
E.
11. Direct Mail Notification. Approximately 850 notifications were mailed out to citizens in Ada
County who have requested to remain on APA's mailing list. The notification included the time,
date, location and the purpose of the informational meeting.
12. Electronic E-Mail. A "Web Site" was created on the Internet about this program which
included provisions for leaving comments and inquiries about the program. Staff's a-mail
address on the Internet was advertised for public comments.
13. Infor~ation Meeting in Ada County. An information meeting was held on June 25, 1997
at the Maple Grove Grange Hall from 4:00 - 7:00 PM. The Air Quality Program was transcribed
into a pupJic-friendly display format which prompted many questions and comments by the 25
people who attended this meeting.
14. Comment Receiving Period. The public was encouraged to submit verbal and written
comments through a variety of media throughout the months of June, July and August, well
beyond the information meeting on June 25, 1997.

B. Summary Results of Public Outreach
The implementation of the Public Outreach Plan produced valuable public input into the final
formulation of the program. In fact, this program was evolved as a product of public input and
the Public Opinion Survey conducted in the summer 1997.
In summary all input received directly or tacitly indicated:
. a general concern for the quality of air in the
Valley;
. a need to make current efforts and procedures
used in cleaning the air more efficient;
. a need to prevent any further deterioration of the
Valley's air quality;
. an endorsement of the intent of the program.
This conclusion is based upon lack of any ex-
pressed opposition by the public and many ex-
pressed praises for the staff performance at the
afore-mentioned contact opportunities;
. an expressed opposition by the owners of testing
vans to the use of RSD technology;
. a discontent about testing all vehicles every year
to screen only 6% of them.
Among the compo~ents of the program which received a broader and stronger public endorse-
ment were expansion of the 1M Program to include all vehicles regularly driven in Ada County
and enhancing the efficiency of the Program. A substantial portion of concerns about the
efficiency focused on the cost of emission test ($10 -$12 per year).
c. Summary Results of Public Opinion Survey
A public opinion survey was conducted by the Clearwater Research, Inc., an independent
research firm in Boise. A total of 609 households in Ada and Canyon Counties were interviewed
from June 10, 1997 through July 26, 1997. This sample represented the demographic makeup
of the two counties with a margin of error of :t50k. The following pages include summary results
of this survey, as prepared by the Clearwater Research Inc. A complete results of this survey is
available upon request.
31
In comparing the '94 and '97 surveys, Ada County residents indicated that air quality is
better, placed less importance on improvement, and are more likely to have said that air
quality. has improved over the past 4-6 years. There was an 11 % increase in the perception
of air quality as either "good" or "excellent" from '94 to '97. There was an 8% decrease in
importance of improving air quality as either "very" or "somewhat" important from '94 to '97.
There was a 12% decrease in responses that indicated that air quality has "became worse, n
and an increase of 1 0% who selected "remained the same" from '94 to '97.
Overall, Ada County residents are more in favor of air quality programs than Canyon
Co~nty residents. Ada County residents were significantly more likely to favor a "smoking
vehicle hotline," new programs to test for nitrous oxide and diesel engines, using public funds to
upgrade testing equipment, and were more likely to be supportive of local government efforts to
improve air quality.
Overall, males and females had different opinions concerning air quality. Males think air
quality is better than females. Females placed more importance on improving air quality than
did men and they rated Ada County's emissions testing program as being more effective than
did the males. Femal~s favored increased funding, new programs and testing, and support a
proactive local government significantly more than males. In general, females are more
responsive to air quality issues concerning emissions testing than males.

Appendix C
Narrative of Air Quality Video Tape
The Boise Valley isn't the same place it was 20 years ago - or even ten.
Most of us would probably agree that, on the whole, the changes have been positive.
There are more job opportunities. For us and our children. There is more to do -
more places to gQ.
But all of us have noticed that growth has also brought some changes that are not so
welcome:
IN: "Having to stop at... " OUT: H.. here in the valley.
Not quite so obvious on a day by day basis is another serious problem: our valley's
deteriorating air quality.
IN: "Most o/my life.." OUT" ... right over the city"
Individual vehicles run a lot cleaner than they once did. But those gains are being
lost to an explosion in the number ofvehicles on the road.
Within Ada County, the total number of miles driven each day has gone from three
million in 1980 to about eight and a half million today.
So many more tailpipes are having a detrimental effect on our air.
And add to that pollution from other sources found in a high growth area.
Changes are needed to the Ada County Air Quality Program.
What was adequate ten years ago to assure healthy, breathable air will not serve our
needs today.
The very qualities that brought many of us here to begin with are what's most
threatened;
IN: "1 think that clean air.." OUT:". .. a major part of that"
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, Ada County is in "Non-
attainment" of air quality standards in two specific areas;
The first is for Carbon Monoxide (or C.O.), which is caused primarily by incomplete
fuel combustion in automobiles.
We are also in violation of air quality standards for what are called ''particulates. "
minute particles of dust, smoke, or exhaust that can find their way on to the lining of a human
lung. Particulates come from a variety ofsources.
The changes being recommended address both of these threats.
By taking action now - at the local level - two major objectives will be accomplished.
Most importantly, cleaner air means fewer health problems for people who live in
the valley and breathe its air.
None ofus wants to see "Los Angeles-type air" in the Boise Valley.
IN:"I'm concerned about air.." OUT:"..last 10 years."
By tackling the problem locally, we also prevent a situation where the federal
government steps in starts calling the shots.
Cleaning up the air will take approaches on several fronts.
For vehicles, new upgrades in emissions testing will better insure that a vehicle is
non-po/luting.
A tightening of policies regarding waivers and exemptions for motorists will allow
testing to be applied more uniformly... andfairly.
If your car passes the test now and more than 90 per cent do - it will likely pass the
new tests.
Being targeted are the vehicles that cause the most pollution.
Upsetting to many drivers who maintain their own car is seeing a "dirty" one driving
down the road.., and nobody doing anything about it.
IN:" You see all these old clunkers: OUT:" ... they're polluting the air. "
A recommended addition to the program is establishing a "smoking vehicle
hotline. "

The Idaho Statesman Editorial
June 30,1997
OUR VIEW
Expand emission testing
Cleaner air in the Treasure Valley requires
a regional solution that includes expanded manda-
tory emissions testing.
A proposal to expand vehicle testing to Canyon
County and all of Ada County is a necessary step to
bluer sides and easier breathing.
The brown gunk over the Boise Valley
most days comes in part from the thousands of ve-
hicles on local roads and highways, many of them
from outside county lines.
Rapid growth in recent years has blurred
the lines between Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Cald-
well, Kuna-, Eagle and all the developments in
between. ,These days it's not uncommon for some-
one to live in Kuna, work in Nampa and shop in
Boise.
That makes air quality a regional problem
that needs a regional answer. Mandatory testing
that includes Kuna and Canyon County is a key
element Officials should explore the benefits of
testing in Elmore, Gem and Idaho counties as well
because many people commute daily from Moun-
tain Home, Idaho City and Emmett
to work or shop.
Tougher federal air quality standards are ex-
pected next month that will raise the standards for
carbon monoxide and particulate pollution.
Vehicle emissions aren't the only culprits. The
Ada Planning Associations proposal targets other
activities that can help meet the new standards.
Reduced sanding, for example, will minimize dust
pollution, which can be hazardous to the health of
the ill, young and elderly.
Such action is needed not only to meet tougher
standards but to protect the quality of life for every
Treasure Valley resident.
Local officials have their work cut out for them to
make a new I more comprehensive testing program
work with local service stations and private
businesses. Private operators have played a big
role in the testing program and should do so in the
future.
Ultimately, however, the region should be
prepared to take whatever tough steps are neces-
sary to protect public health through cleaner air.

Meridian City Council

Meridian, Idaho 83642
Dear Mayor and Council,
I own a house at 911 E. Pine that is not in the Meridian City limits. It is
presently connected to a septic tank for sewer service. The septic tankldrain
field has failed and I am requesting to connect to Meridian City sanitation
sewer system.
I understand there is a double assessment fee for this connection and I have
enclosed a copy of the Easement Agreement granted to the City of Meridian
which we believe was intended to grant an easement in exchange for
waiving the hook up fee for this house. We were informed of this by the
owner's daughter and Seller of the property when we purchased it. Upon
reading the easement, it is very loosely written but we believe the intent is
there. We would like the City Council to make a determination on this if
possible at the meeting on February 16,1999 and we would appreciate your
approval of this request.
Sincerely,

Inter-Office Memo

02/08/99
To: W.L. ff Bill Gordon
Chief of Police
From: Cpt. Dave Bowman ~
Ref: Animal Shelter
As of Feb. 3, 1999, there were no RFP's received on the new animal
shelter. On Feb. 4, 1999, Doug Lasher Construction has bid
$69,900.00 (see attached bid document.)
I have been unable to generate any other interest in this project
among other Contractor's. I would recommend that the City Council
award the contract to Doug Lasher Construction.
After researching kennels, I have found that T KENNEL SYSTEMS
would provide the most up to date kennel system for our purposes.
Jerry Thorn of T Kennel Systems designed and sold the kennels
currently being used in the Idaho Humane animal shelter in Boise. I
have personally inspected these kennels, and interviewed the staff at
the Boise shelter. They have nothing but praise for Mr. Thorn and the
kennels. Mr. Thorn informed me that he would be willing to come out
to Meridian from Salt Lake City to work with the Contractor in
installing the kennels, and drain system. He has already supplied a
preliminary design sketch free of charge to be used by the contractor.
The kennels are priced at $1,698.00 each. Ten kennels would
ultimately give us twenty kennels, because they can be partitioned off
with a built-in sliding dOOf. They are very easy to maintain and clean,
also.(See attached two pages from T Kennel.)
I am recommending the following for Council's consideration:
1. Lasher Construction bid...... . . . . $69,900.00
2. T Kennel System... ... ... ... ... .. ..$16,980.00 -/I

1.2. SHORT TITLE
This Ordinance may be cited as The 1999 Motor Vehicle Emissions Control Ordinance.
1.3. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS AND PURPOSE OF ORDINANCE
It is found and declared that exhaust emissions from Motor Vehicles are a major source of air
pollution throughout Ada County and such air pollution is a health hazard to all residents of the
County and its incorporated cities;
It is further found and declared that an effective system of periodic motor vehicle inspection and
maintenance will reduce the level of vehicular-based air pollution;
It is further found and declared that the federal government has mandated to the several states
and local entities the ultimate responsibility for periodic motor vehicle inspection and
maintenance;
It is further found and declared that Ada County has been designated as a non-attainment area
for both carbon monoxide and small particulate matter (PM10) and as such is mandated under
the Federal Clean Air Act to reduce emissions so that the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards will be attained and maintained;
It is further found and declared that Ada County and its incorporated cities will be monitored for
PM2.5 and ozone in the immediate future, and that the primary source of both of these pollutants
in Ada County is exhaust emissions from motor vehicles.
It is further found and declared that fuel economy is a legitimate legislative purpose and that an
erfficient emissions control program will result in motor vehicle fuel savings for the residents of
Ada County and its incorporated cities;
It is further found and declared that Ada County and its incorporated cities are duly authorized
to enact and enforce this Ordinance under Idaho Code 931-714 and s..., respectively;
The purposes of this Ordinance, therefore, are to protect the health and welfare of the citizens
of Ada County and its incorporated cities, to provide for the continued control and management
of exhaust emissions above certain levels as determined by the Federal Clean Air Act, as
