Madam Mayor and Council Members, this is the final change order for the demolition contract that we have with Ideal Demotion. If you will recall, there was some damage done by the -- his personnel when we were excavating. The damage was done to the wall heads. This was the dollar amount that our hydrologist gave us as the -- as the amount fixed towards their damages specifically. Originally, Ideal and Petra were going to discuss this and maybe split it. David agreed -- well, it's David from Ideal Demolition agreed to take this on by himself and eat that amount. So, we drew up this negative deductive change order for 10,993.50. Ideal has agreed to this and signed this and submitted their final invoice for their retention. De Weerd: Thank you, Keith. Any questions from Council? Do I have a motion? Bird: Madam Mayor?

Item 8: Request for Reconsideration for Denial of Rezone for 6th and Broadway Property by Linda Loehr: De Weerd: Thank you. Item 8 is a request for reconsideration. Mr. Nary, do you have any comment on this? Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, you are all pretty well ears that art of these reconsiderations now. You do have a letter in front of you. It app p the -- part of the reason that no applicant was present at the time this originally was taken up by the Council and denied was that the applicant was ill and didn't explain -- it doesn't explain in the letter why no one else couldn't have been here, but it does indicate that that was the reason that at least the applicant wasn't present at the time. That was some consideration that the Council had.. If you wish to reconsider that, we would need to set it for a new hearing and they would have to re-notice to do that. I Meridian City Council November 20, 2007 Page 18 of 22 don't know if they have anything else to add. Obviously, we can't discuss those specifics of the application itself, just the request for reconsideration. Borton: Council, I would make a motion to grant the request for reconsideration, understanding the extenuating circumstances and give the applicant an opportunity to come forward at another hearing date to present it. Bird.: Second. Borton: It's been moved and seconded to approve the request for reconsideration. Any discussion? Rountree: Discussion, Mr. President. Borton: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: Just -- the absence of the applicant was -- was one of the minor reasons. i think probably the biggest issue with the application was the design and the design detail and the lack of appropriate design considerations for the facility for the building that was being addressed.. So, just ar issues and certa my th se need totbe addressed on the motion that -- there were othe if it's going to be reheard. Borton: Councilman Rountree, I agree. I know planning had comments in that regard and the minutes from our discussion would be extremely valuable to the applicant to review prior to bringing this back. Any additional discussion? All those in favor say aye. Request approved. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
