Nary: Deputy Chief Silva just showed me an email regarding the easement and
maybe there is an issue? I have never seen it.
De Weerd: Well, can we get a second and then maybe we can -
Rountree: Second.
De Weerd: Do we need to pull something off?
Bird: We got an email here. The Clerk or whoever has something to say.
De Weerd: Okay, but do we need to pull it off so we can discuss it?
Rountree: I would move that we pull items "b" and "c" off of the Consent Agenda.
De Weerd: We can just do it -
Bird: I pull my original motion.
De Weerd: Okay, let's pull the approval of the Consent Agenda and entertain the
motion for pulling off items 2 b and 2 c and put them before item 3?
Bird: Yes.
De Weerd: Do I have a second?

Silva: Madame Mayor and Members of the Council I apologize for this late
notification when it came to this memo. I thought this issue was all addressed.
We became aware of this email (inaudible--). The easement from the Fire
Department's perspective is correct that there are some technical issues in here
that it has not been reviewed by a license surveyor and it should be technically
complete. That is my concern. I did not want Council to take action on
something that is not technically complete. I just became aware of this -
De Weerd: You have had longer notice than we have had.
Nary: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Madame Mayor and Members of the Council what you could do is -what
the email that Deputy Silva is referring to was from Public Works that indicated
that the easements themselves were fine, but they don't have a licensed,
stamped survey of the property description so you can approve the easements
contingent upon that being completed and that way you can get this item done off
of your agenda and Public Works will work getting that accomplished before it is
finalized.
De Weerd: Because otherwise we won't hear this again until January Stn
Silva: I just wanted to make Council aware of that (inaudible--)
De Weerd: Okay, thank you.
Berg: Madame Mayor, if I could I think that is what the copies of the emails were
in front of you for -the dialogue between our department and Public Works and
the applicant. We are trying to get this easement signed or have at least the
confidence that the City Engineer could sign the plat and I could sign the plat to
get it recorded. Obviously, they are rushing it and they did not get the surveyor
stamp on the exhibits as required.
Rountree: Do we have any update.
Grady: Madame Mayor, Members of the Council they are delivering those
signed stamps sometime today. We are okay with the legal if Council wants to
proceed pending those - (inaudible--).
De Weerd: Okay, thanks Len.
Borton: Madame Mayor. I appreciate Mr. Grady's comments where he indicated
that he would go ahead and sign upon receiving the signed, sealed stamp by a
licensed surveyor and with that information from Mr. Grady I would move that we

approve items "b" and "c", the temporary emergency vehicle access easements
contingent upon the receipt of the signed, stamped proof from the licenses
surveyor.
Bird: Second.
De Weerd: Okay and a second. Any discussion? Hearing none, Mr. Berg.
Roll Call Vote: Borton, aye; Bird, aye; Zaremba, aye; Rountree, aye.
ALL AYES. MOTION CARRIED.
Item 3. Cooperative Construction and Reimbursement Agreement for
the 21-Inch Sanitary Sewer Trunk line Overland Road to Ten
Mile Road for Southridge with Linder 109:
Nary: Madame Mayor and Members of the Council what you have in front of you
was a discussion that has been ongoing with Mr. Jewett in regards to a 21 inch
sewer line and a reimbursement along a portion of the property that is called
South Ridge. You had a meeting and discussion back in August. The direction
from that meeting was to finalize an agreement with the Ada County Highway
District and then to bring this reimbursement agreement back in front of you. Mr.
Jewett has finalized an agreement at the staff level with the Highway District. I
spoke with Mr. Inselman the other night when he was here. They intend to take it
in front of the Commission for their approval. Mr. Inselman the other night was
not certain if they would be able to have it on their January 9t" meeting. Mr.
Jewett may have more information from yesterday that I don't. But, Mr. Inselman
told me Tuesday night that they would either have it on the 9t" or the 16t". The
staff has reviewed it. They are comfortable with the language. I think it is a fairly
standard Highway District reimbursement agreement. Mr. Baird and I have been
in touch with Mr. Jewett's attorney on the language in this agreement and we
have discussed and I think that is part of the direction we are looking for from
Council is the trigger to assure the reimbursement takes place and that the work
gets completed was the discussion you had back in August. I think what we are
seeking direction on today is what contingencies do you want completed? Mr.
Grady, I think, was going to look at the project plans and see what information
that we have on that because part of the agreement requires the project be
completed. Mr. Jewett was directed to have this agreement completed and
approved by the Highway District as a contingency to be reimbursed. The issue
of the roadway completion is somewhat up in the air and that is the direction that
we are looking for. The only suggestion or recommendation I have is you can - if
you are comfortable approving that direction today, we don't have final language
on the agreement, but if your direction is the. Mayor can sign it prior to January 8t"
based on the contingencies that you direct, we can do that. But what I told Mr.
Glenhill this morning and Mr. Baird and I both was that I don't want the situation
arising again where one party or the other believes that something was left out,
Meridian City Council Spe'LTaI Meeting
December 20, 2007
Page 5 of 25
something was added, some contingency was different than what was
anticipated, but ACHD won't be approving that final agreement until at least
January 9th, at least as far as I understood. I think what we are looking for today
is direction so we can get forward. I think Mr. Jewett is looking for assurance that
his reimbursement is going to occur. They can get this project going and moving
forward and completed in a timely manner with construction. I think that is the
preamble to what we are here for and hopefully if Mr. Jewett or Mr. Grady has
more information we can certainly use that direction from you.
Zaremba: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: Mr. Nary when you refer to the project in general, are you talking
about the sewer trunk line or are you talking about pavement over the top of it
and curb, gutter and sidewalk or is that what you are asking us to decide?
Nary: The project in general is both. The city's issue primarily of course is the
sewer line installation. The completion of the project and that is what I think Mr.
Grady was going to look into was if the sewer line and the roadway completion
are essentially one project and that the completion of the roadway has to be
consistent with the sewer line and vice-a-versa. The direction that you folks had
given was that the agreement with ACHD and the completion of the entire project
was of importance and my only issue is determining if the trigger in the
reimbursement agreement is the agreement with ACHD and the completion of
our portion of the project, which is the sewer line or is it more than that? I am
sure that Mr. Jewett and Mr. Brown want to know that as well.
Jewett: Jim Jewett, 1560 Carol Street. Madame Mayor and Council, my
understanding in August we had two reimbursement agreements, one for the 27
and one for the 21. The 27 line was approved. The 21 was approved,
conditioned on the language put into the contract that tied it to the ACHD
agreement for the construction of Overland Road. With that motion, Mr. Brown
was released to do all of that work because he needed to get out of Overland
Road before they started to work on the Ten Mile Overpass to reconstruct the
damage that was done last spring. He was released to proceed with that and I
was understanding that the city was going to add language to the agreement with
discussion with ACRD to tie it to this agreement that is going to be going in front
of ACRD next month. So we have proceeded on that basis. When I found out
that that had not happened and we had (inaudible) our agreement with ACHD so
stopped Mr. Brown; so Mr. Brown is 95 percent complete with the work on that
reimbursement agreement that has not been signed. So what we are asking is
for the language that was motioned by Council in August be added to that
contract, signed and it is still tied to the ACHD agreement and reimbursement is
still tied to the ACHD agreement. I would like Mr. Brown to finish that project, but
at this point without the signed agreement I don't think it is prudent that he
Meridian City Council Sp~l Meeting •
December 20, 2007
Page 6 of 25
proceeds forward even though he is 95 percent complete. I think that is where
the confusion lies. ACHD had not approved realignment yet as of the August
meeting that we had here; they subsequently approved that in September,
drafted their agreement and got it to us in October and they are taking it to their
Commission for approval next month. With that I would stand for any questions.
De Weerd: Council any questions?
Borton: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: Mr. Borton.
Borton: Jim when you use the phrase "add the language in the agreement", so
you said the reimbursement is tied to the ACRD agreement, what do you mean
by that specifically?
Jewett: What I thought that meant was that there would be no -the discussion
that occurred before the motion was there is no sense having a 21 inch sewer
line going through a realigned Overland unless Overland is going to get
constructed. So the agreement was this was acooperative - I don't know the
exact terminology that ACHD used, I don't have it here, but it is a reimbursement
impact fee agreement with ACHD that says I build it and they reimburse me
through impact fees for a certain percentage of it. What I understood the motion
was that that agreement has to be signed before the city would do any
reimbursement.
Borton: Okay as opposed to ACHD or excuse me -you would complete the
roadwork and the reimbursement from the city be at the same time as ACHD's
reimbursement?
Jewett: That is not my understanding because ACHD's would be tied with impact
fee reimbursements within a jurisdictional area out there; not necessarily a lump
sum reimbursement.
Borton: So the reimbursement for the sewer portion would come to you prior to
you completing the roadwork?
Jewett: Correct. That was our understanding.
Borton: Okay, thanks.
De Weerd: So how is that consistent with the placement of the manholes and -
this is pretty new verses an existing road having the new road. Is it a chicken
and egg thing or how does that work? Maybe I should ask the contractor or
maybe more technical - I don't know.
Meridian City Council Sp~LTal Meeting
December 20, 2007
Page 7 of 25
Jewett: As far as the location of the sewer line in the proposed new alignment of
the road?
De Weerd: Yeah, with the manholes and -
Jewett: Well we did - taking a proactive stance last spring we went ahead and
designed the whole realignment of the road and submitted it to ACHD because
there was a lot of technical issues that if it could work because of the terrain. So
we had the complete profile of the roads submitted to ACRD and approved last
spring contingent on their Commission eventually approving a realignment
period. So we had a -
De Weerd: Which has all happened?
Jewett: Which has all occurred now. So from a technical point of view that
alignment of the road has been approved by ACRD and the Public Works staff
has that approval from ACRD for that alignment and profile. So the design of the
manholes was all consistent with that approval by ACHD and ACRD has
approved the construction plans for the sewer within this realigned Overland
Road.
Nary: Madame Mayor, Members of the Council and Mr. Grady may want to
chime in on this as well. I think part of the concern has been from the city is that
if the roadway isn't completed or isn't completed at least reasonably
simultaneous to the completion of the sewer line then the city wouldn't have an
ability to access the line because there would be no easement and no roadway
there. Because this is a brand new road and not an existing roadway, the
concern is that if it isn't tied to the completion of the road then there wouldn't be
any access so then a different contingency would have to be included that an
easement and access would have to still be granted to the city and it just makes
it more complicated to have to add that. So I guess that is my understanding of
just the piece of the completion part. So just having the agreement is probably
fine other than because this is a brand new roadway there may not be any other
way to get to it except for the roadway to be there. So if for some reason the
road gets delayed for cost of construction materials or whatever then we wouldn't
have a way to access the sewer line and again maybe part of the contingency is
maybe they couldn't use the sewer line. I guess that would be Mr. Grady's call,
but the sewer line couldn't be in use if we didn't have a means to get to it.
De Weerd: Well and the sewer line probably wouldn't be in use unless you had a
road.
Nary: I would assume, but that is another contingency of language that we don't
have finalized.
Meridian City Council SpdLTal Meeting
December 20, 2007
Page 8 of 25
Jewett: The reason the sewer line had to go forward now is that we had to get it
across the canal. Those are the important things and the next step is the bridge
construction for the road. We did provide an easement for Public Works in the
eventuality that ACHD would be delayed. We did provide them an easement
over it. There was a provision in the contract for a gravel access road over the
sewer line in the event that it wasn't a road right away. Anybody that has been
out there can see that there has been a significant change to the grade and there
is a road there now and it is all built up and it is completely serviceable, but there
is not sewage that will go in it until all this other work is completed unless some
other project comes forward there is no sewer going into this line so that might be
a technical issue that your Public Works can address. But there was a provision
for the easement and there was a provision for an access road in the eventuality
that ACHD was delayed. Now, we had an agreement with ACHD pending and if
that gets signed off on the 9t" or the 16t" and I don't know a pending date right
now, so I can't answer that, but they will then go ahead and do the right-a-way
transfer with me immediately. That is kind of a three legged -because ITD has
to pull into that transaction as well because we have to vacate the existing or at
least have a vacation agreement on the existing Overland Road location and
then ITD pulls that out of their project and ties it with ACHD, so there is some
more. But, within probably by the end of February I would assume that all of
those transactions will occur with ACRD, ITD and myself and then the right-of-
way will actually be owned by ACHD. I would assume no later than the end of
February.
De Weerd: Any other questions, Council?
Rountree: Madame Mayor we haven't seen the agreement with ACHD. My
concern about reimbursement of the completion of the sewer project is until a
road is in there it is not complete. There are things that are part of the road, but
part of the sewer -manholes, manhole covers, access, reasonable vehicular
access etcetera so any reimbursement, t think, is going to be contingent on some
kind of a hold back to assure that that gets done. I don't know what the
agreement, again with ACHD says, nor do I know what kind of commitment there
is to getting that roadway done. Is there a time constraint in the agreement that
you have negotiated at this point? Is there a time certain when barring
unforeseen climatic conditions and. material conditions that it will be done - is it
contingent on your ability to get financing and those kinds of things? Again, we
are kind of in the dark about that aspect.
Jewett: Madame Mayor and Councilman Rountree, those are valid questions.
Obviously there are contingent factors on every type of project. With our
agreement basically what happened is we entered into an agreement, then we
have to bid it just like your process, three bidders on the process; we have to
finish the engineering; we have to finish up 100 percent, submit it, they review it,
approve it and we do bidders and then I provide a bond for 110 percent, a letter
of credit for 110 percent of that cost for construction. That bond has already
Meridian City Council SpeZfal Meeting •
December 20, 2007
Page 9 of 25
been budgeted and has already been budgeted and has already been approved
by our lending institution. So with that we can go to the next step. Our plan all
along was to finish the bridge construction, which is a budget item in this winter's
budget for us - to finish the bridge construction before the water comes in
because right now there is no way for the water to go down that canal until we
get that bridge built and ACHD right now has stopped reviewing any documents
for us until this is all kind of rectified. Then our intention was to construct the
road during the course of next summer to have it done by next fall. Obviously,
there are other factors involved -there is financial, there is environmental, there
is our market in general. I had asked what would you be looking for as far as
some time frames. I guess I would leave it at that. ACRD - I don't recall -
guess your attorney has reviewed the agreement and I don't recall the
timeframes set out in the agreement, I don't have it in front of me here.
Nary: Madame Mayor and Members of the Council two things that Mr. Jewett
just said, I guess when I spoke with Mr. Inselman on Tuesday night I asked him
two things. One, do you need to see our agreement and he said no if we are not
paying for it I don't care. So they don't care of where our agreement is at.
asked him secondarily if he is waiting on us for anything. He said no. What they
are waiting on is to take it to their Commission is the engineering drawings for
this bridge or the road, but he is waiting on engineering. He is not waiting on us.
So I wasn't sure when you just said that Mr. Jewett if you were talking about the
delay in what they are waiting on. But, it appears to me at least from Mr.
Inselman's statements to me the Highway District is not waiting for the city's
agreement, nor are they waiting for us to finalize anything.. Their agreement with
you and them doesn't have anything to do with us.
Jewett: And I would agree. I don't think they are waiting on anything from the
city.
Nary: Okay and I just wanted to clarify what you just said because I wasn't
certain if you meant they were waiting on us or something else.
Jewett: No, it is just the timing of the process.
Nary: Sure and that is fine. That is fine.
Rountree: Madame Mayor if I might. My response to your question about pick a
date, any date, and abracadabra. My preference is that not only this facility be
done and in place, it has to be done and in place before groundbreaking on Ten
Mile Interchange because people are going to have to get through there during
construction and if Overland is going to be vacated is probably going to start in
that hole down there at the bottom of the hill. So to me that is the critical time
and that is sometime in FY09, which starts anytime after October 2008, so if we
are going to pick a date, in my opinion that facility needs to be up and running or

question back to me.
Zaremba: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.

by October 2008. That is my answer to your
Zaremba: I would add the additional timeframe that ITD has to be confident that
it is going to be completed by then so whether or not it physically has to be
completed or somehow ITD has to be convinced that is an additional outlet. If
the scenario that Councilman Rountree is describing, if it gets finished on
October 1St, ITD may not have been comfortable with that and they may not be -
I don't know I can't speak for ITD, but I am just saying I agree that having it
finished on October 1St is probably the requirement; somehow ITD has to be
comfortable sooner than that that it will be finished and how do we do that?
Jewett: Madame Mayor, Councilman Rountree, Councilman Zaremba you all
pose very interesting questions and back in August Mr. Brown was instructed to
start to make sure that he wasn't going to be in ITD's way and he did it on what
we thought was the motion. I guess that leads to one fundamental problem is
there is communication issues that we probably just need to resolve. So I would
suggest that even though it is not to the benefit to Mr. Brown to sit there and wait
longer for reimbursement, I think it is probably in the best interest of everybody
that we pull ITD, ACHD into some sort of work session as early in January as we
can and get all of this worked out and make sure that we are all on the same
wave length, that we are all agreeable to everything and that way we eliminate
this communication issue because it is quite frustrating for me. I understand one
thing and then I understand it different and it has become old. I know that ITD is
waiting right now for a response from me and what is going to go on because
they need to make plans and they have asked me to get back with them no later
than early January. I guess my suggestion is that we get all of the parties
together in some roundtable work session and work out all the tight details of
timing and reimbursements.
Zaremba: Madame Mayor I don't want to create an issue where three or four
different agencies are waiting for each other to blink first. That is not fair to me.
If Mr. Jewett is suggesting that he is going to nail down the agreement with ITD in
the early part of January and convince them that this will be done in time for
them, I am happy with that.
Rountree: Madame Mayor my questions are information in terms of
reimbursement. I am not opposed to reimbursement, but I am concerned about
the level of reimbursement. The timing -you have got the infrastructure in place;
you have got your expenses out there. I don't think it is fair not to reimburse for
at least a portion of that. But we, too, need some assurance that it all gets done
and I am not necessarily saying the road, but the road is part of the
Meridian City Council SpeZT~l Meeting
December 20, 2007
Page 11 of 25
infrastructure, the sewer - or part of the sewer that is in that road. So my
question is as we craft the reimbursement agreement, how are we assured that
the sewer project and all of its pieces are completed? That is where I am coming
from.
De Weerd: I think that was all of the discussion in August is when they start
talking about the road this shouldn't be something that is new. It was discussed,
Jim and maybe we didn't have a good idea of how this worked as a new road
where the sewer is going verses an existing one, which is what we are more
familiar with and what some of those contingencies would be. There is no
question of the 100 percent reimbursement. That is not a question; it is how do
you assure some of the conditions, I think, the Council put on there and it was
tied to that road and if I remember Councilman Zaremba, the urgency of it and
the surety that it would happen. If I remember right it was discussed. Mr. Bird?
Bird: Madame Mayor I, too, go along the lines of what Councilman Rountree
says. I believe you do deserve some reimbursement, but we need to find out
what percent. Is the road engineered to the point that all of the elevations are in
place and guaranteed that the manholes could be put up to this elevation and it is
not going to cost us anymore to redo it at some point, the easements are all in
place?
Jewett: Madame Mayor and Councilman Bird one of the biggest struggles that
we had out there is the tremendous grade elevation change and in a profile to
how that would work to meet ACHD's requirements was a prerequisite to doing
anything and if you have been out there you can see that a significant amount of
dirt had been moved to create a road profile that is roughly a three foot below the
final grade of Overland Road. That has been accomplished and that has been
approved by ACRD as the profile. So what we would generally do right now is
set those manholes up at three foot below finished grade so they don't sit above
ground, but they would be just a riser away from final grade once that road profile
is finished, the actual road construction is finished. So, yes, the profile and
think there is an approval from ACRD in your file that indicates that they did
approve that portion of this project.
De Weerd: So if it is off who covers the cost of correcting it? Is that a cost we pa
twice?
Jewett: I think we even discussed that issue, but -
De Weerd: It probably went over my head.
Jewett: Probably went over mine because I don't look at it as a - we did so
much preliminary work. The road did shift slightly this fall on the far south end.
ACRD had a shift of, I think, eleven feet, but the sewer corridor we still fit within
the corridor so the sewer line did not move. But, ACHD did do a slight
Meridian City Council Sp~tTal Meeting
December 20, 2007
Page 12 of 25
adjustment to us this fall and move the far southern connection at Ten Mile south
about eleven feet. But, again, the sewer was still within the corridor and it was
acceptable to everybody. I don't like to talk about negatives, but I don't think that
it any realignment or repositioning of it is going to occur. It is in the location that
ACHD has approved. We certainly can provide that documentation.
Bird: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Mr. Jewett and I will ask Len the same question in your estimation what
percent of the total reimbursement would you say is controlled by the road, the
elevations and stuff for the roads, the manholes and all this kind of stuff is it 15,
20, 25 percent of the total contract?
De Weerd: I think we probably need to ask Mr. Brown that.
Jewett: I would defer that to Mr. Brown.
Bird: Well if he is the representative -that is fine.
Jewett: I would assume that the removal or adding of additional risers would
probably be in the neighborhood of several hundred dollars ,per manhole and
believe there are eleven manholes through that location. So even if you used
$1,000 a manhole for eleven manholes, $11,000 that would not even be -that
would be in the single digits as far as a percentage of the overall contract.
Bird: Okay, so 10 or 15 percent?
Jewett: Yeah. When you construct the road itself, just to give you a little
background on the construction the last bit of risers that are on the manholes and
the cement collars that go around in the asphalt; those are all done after the road
is built. You actually pave over the top of the manholes, dig them back up and
put them in. So that is all part of the ACHD's contract, not this contract.
Bird: But that is finishing the sewer.
Jewett: Correct.
Bird: And our agreement is to finish the sewer.
Jewett: Correct.
Bird: So that is part of our contract because our sewer isn't finished until that is
finished product -until that road is finished and the final manhole is put on there.
That is when our contract is finished, in my opinion.
Meridian City Council Sped Meeting
December 20, 2007
Page 13 of 25
Jewett: Okay, I can understand that.
Bird: I think that we - I know you had to get out and get the job done. I know
Mike went out and did the job and I am like Councilman Rountree you are
probably deserving some reimbursement, but we have got to figure out percent
and make sure this project gets done and if we don't have a hammer, we are not
going to drive the nail very far.
Borton: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Borton.
Borton: Two questions. The first short question is whether or not do you agree
with Councilman Bird's opinion as to the obligations on the sewer and the extent
of what is required to be considered to be complete? You didn't say yes, you
said you understood, so -
Jewett: In a roadway that would be true, but another part of this project is being
run from Linder to Bear Creek through an area that is not platted, so there are
situations where you don't go in a road right-of-way where a finished sewer is still
a finished sewer. You just have a manhole that sat at existing grade and then
when the road is built then those finished collars are done. So, yes and no and it
depends on the circumstances. Here we are kind of a hybrid. We are going to a
finished road and we are going to (inaudible) a finished road as fast as possible
and I think that everybody in this room would agree that we all want that thing
black sooner rather than later. If I am going to make my project, South Ridge,
successful, I need it black. If the city wants to make sure transportation is fluent
it needs to be black. So I think that we all have the same common goal.
Although, we all have our frustrations, I think we are all trying to get to the same
common goal and to make something better than what we had yesterday.
Borton: Madame Mayor, Mr. Jewett can it be as simple as whatever the 100
percent reimbursement value is that upon receipt of the signed ACHD agreement
and confirmation that the existing easement and gravel provisions that you had
made reference to adequately satisfies Public Works access issues that a certain
,percentage of that total amount is reimbursed at that point and some remainder
percentage is reimbursed upon completion of the roadway in perhaps the fall or
winter or 2008 and whether it is 80, 20, 90 or 10 can you break it out that way to
provide reimbursement to you now and also have some incentive for everybody
to make sure the roadway gets completed?
Jewett: Madame Mayor and Councilman Borton I know that August is four
months ago and recalling everything that was discussed there sometimes with all
of the things that have to go through, but one of the components there is that we
are on a very limited budget. What we had budgeted to make sure to ensure that
Meridian City Council Spe'Z"ral Meeting
December 20, 2007
Page 14 of 25
we could provide all of the agreements that we needed to ACHD is we only
budgeted the non-reimbursable part of these sewer lines. That is why when the
proposal was at (inaudible) reimbursement simply wouldn't work for us because
we did not have the budget to pay Mr. Brown beyond the non-reimbursable. So I
would have to defer to Mr. Brown on it because when he took on this job he took
it on that I could only pay him the non-reimbursable until the city reimbursed it.
So it is not so much on my head as it is on his head. So I guess I can defer and
have Mike come up and answer that question, but I clearly only budgeted the
non-reimbursable part.
Bird: Let's have Mike come up.
De Weerd: Please state your name and address for the record.
Brown: Mike Brown, 2528 Crooked Creek Way. Now what is your question?
Borton: Madame Mayor I am trying to cut to end of this thing to say is there
some way we can get reimbursement done now or upon it sounds like soon to be
received confirmation from ACHD on the agreement? To get those business
matters resolved, but have some percentage retained paid upon the completion
of the road to try and satisfy both parties.
Brown: Yes, as far as the finished concrete around the manholes, yes we do.
Borton: I guess that begs the next question is what kind of percentages work for
everybody that allows - I know the vast majority would be reimbursed at this
early stage and what would be retained by the City to be reimbursed upon
completion of the roadway.
Brown: Well your collar is going to be 250 a manhole, so probably five percent.
Borton: I didn't have an answer in mind; I just wanted to throw that out and try to
get this thing done.
Jewett: I am trying to recall the agreement, but I would ask that your Counsel, if
he could recall -did we not put a provision in for a letter of credit for one year
after the completion of this project?
Nary: The 110 percent? Is that the one you are talking about for the completion
-the 110 percent letter of credit?
Jewett: Wasn't there -
Nary: Right your attorney this morning said that is not supposed to be in there?
Meridian City Council SpeZ~al Meeting •
December 20, 2007
Page 15 of 25
Jewett: Well, I know the 110 percent wasn't, but there was something I recall
that had to be held for one year. That was my recollection. Not the 110 percent
because that was extra-ordinary, but I thought it was a ten percent letter of credit.
Nary: Mr. Berg, do you remember?
Rountree: Are you opposed to that?
Jewett: I am not opposed to that.
Nary: But can we put that? I mean, I don't recall that it is in the existing
agreement because I don't believe -what your Counsel was saying is that this
agreement was supposed to be similar to Shepherd's Creek and in that one there
isn't aretain-age because it was completed at the end and the whole project was
completed -
Jewett: I don't believe there was aretain-age, but I believe there was some letter
of credit responsibility of ten percent. That was my recollection. It was 110
percent that we thought was a little bit extra-ordinary, but the ten percent I
believe that is what me and Mike discussed then and we found that agreeable.
Nary: I can look at Shepherd's Creek fairly quickly.
Jewett: But I wouldn't be object-able to a 10 percent letter of credit as a security
instrument.
Bird: What about aretain-age?
Nary: We probably want to ask Len his opinion.
Bird: Madame Mayor can Len --?
De Weerd: Yeah.
Borton: You are up Len.
Grady: Madame Mayor and Members of the Council I might be able to shed
some light. Typically - on the Shepherd's Creek we were going to do 100
percent reimbursement at the completion of the project. This project is turning
out to be a little bit different in so far that the completion of the project is going to
be it sounds like delayed. In the past and we have started this precedent in the
north and actually with Shepherd's Creek is we are paying 80 percent upon
substantial completion. So if Mr. Jewett were to complete that sewer line,
substantially complete, able to take sewer and access, Public Works would be
willing to pay the 80 percent reimbursement and the 20 percent is upon final
Meridian City Council Sp~l Meeting •
December 20, 2007
Page 16 of 25
completion and like I say, we set that precedence elsewhere throughout the city.
That would be our recommendation.
Bird: Madame Mayor is this the standard thing that we have been doing at the
north end on the sewer lines that we have been putting in?
Grady: That is correct. Now, again, Shepherd's Creek we went for 100 percent.
That didn't prove successful because they were delayed in that final completion
and so this sort of helps get some of that load off of there and it keeps a fairly
healthy stick for Public Works that we are going to make sure we get everything
before the finals. So that has been our standard and we certainly would be
willing to do that.
De Weerd: Any other questions for Len?
Borton: Madame Mayor
De Weerd: Mr. Borton.
Borton: Len while you are here is that the easement issue, gravel road access
issue is that satisfactory to --?
Grady: Substantial completion in our opinion at this point because they are not
doing the asphalt road would have to allow for all weather access and yes, Mr.
Jewett is correct we do have an easement.
De Weerd: Okay, anything else, Council?
Bird: No, just see if Mr. Jewett and Mr. Brown and what they think on the 80/20
percent.
Jewett: Madame Mayor and Council Members, I wasn't involved in the
negotiations on the 80 percent. That was with Matt Schultz and Mr. Brown and it
involved our agreement as well as the Shepherd's Creek agreement and the
component that was left that could not be completed, ACRD was not letting Mr.
Brown into Linder Road until the Ten Mile Overpass repair work is done, they just
won't let them close it. So, you know Public Works graciously said we will pay
you the 80 percent because we understand it is outside your control. Twenty
percent, if everything was completed and manholes raised to the sub-grade now
where the (inaudible) surface would exist, the sewer line would be essentially
functional without with these steps and just a final pavement, so 20 percent
seems to be a bit steep if we got all the way to an all weather surface other than
the pavement. It just seems that 20 percent would be a little steep. I think that
would be a little bit steep for Brown Construction to absorb. I guess I would be
looking for some level of compromise, but again we are here after the fact. I wish
Meridian City Council Spe'L'fal Meeting
December 20, 2007
Page 17 of 25
we would have had this done three months ago and I would apologize and just
endeavor to try to work something out and keep this thing moving along.
Rountree: Madame Mayor. Just to throw this out -how about a 15 percent bond
and a 5 percent retain-age?
Jewett: I would agree to that.
Bird: Ninety-five, five and fifteen percent bond.
Jewett: I would provide the letter of credit for 15 and then (inaudible--)
Nary: Madame Mayor and Members of the Council, I just want to clear one
question. In the agreement for the sewer line that is with Tuscany Development
that one to Stoddard. As Mr. Jewett said there is a 10 percent letter of credit, but
that was just as a security for essentially a warranty for the lines, so not for
payment. I just wanted to clear that up. That is in the other agreement, but it is
not for payment.
Rountree: So it could be made for payment?
Bird: Yeah a bond can.
Nary: I don't have an issue with that. I don't know if Mr. Grady has a concern.
Bird: Well, let's find out.
De Weerd: Mr. Grady.
Grady: Madame Mayor and Members of the Council we find bonds are very
difficult to cash. You basically go to the bank and you try to convince them that
they need to give you money. It is very difficult at best. We would prefer a letter
of credit.
Rountree: I think that is what Mr. Jewett indicated.
Nary: I think that is what he said.
De Weerd: Okay.
Jewett: Mayor and Council the last thing is we just need to clearly clarify what
100 percent complete is then if that is asphalt and then collar and let's just put it
in writing so it is clear.
De Weerd: It is also on the public record. Council any other questions?
Bird: I have none.
Meridian City Council Sp~Tal Meeting

Borton: Madame Mayor, I saw head nods, but - Mr. Brown?
(Tape turned over)
Borton: Is that okay with you in what Mr. Rountree suggested as a solution? I
know Jim is fine with it -
Brown: Right now for the Stoddard ground, we have a cashier's check of
$350,000 out until we are complete.
(Inaudible discussion)
Brown: That is what was requested until we can get into the roads and finish the
whole line of being tied together.
De Weerd: What does $350,000 -?
Bird: $350,000 to go through the road?
Brown: Well, that is the percentage on what is left on the job to finish on those
two sections.
Bird: On both sections?
Brown: And that is just the way the job was broke down.
Bird: Mr. Borton, (believed - or did you hear Charlie's 95 pay, 5 retain-age and
15 percent in a letter of credit or certified check or something?
Brown: Right now you have got $350,000 for us to finish the 27 (inaudible) the
30 stint to finish the 27 to Stoddard.
De Weerd: Which is Shepherd's Creek?
Brown: Yes, Shepherd's Creek. At the schedule we are going right now, we
should finish in mid December. That is why we didn't have a problem with the
$350,000.
De Weerd: Mid December or mid January?
Brown: Right now we are trying to get to Stoddard, so (inaudible) can start their
project.
Bird: What is the contract here? Can anybody tell me what the total is? I have
heard, but just rumor.
Meridian City Council SpeZTal Meeting
December 20, 2007
Page 19 of 25
Brown: The total contract -
Bird: For this particular project? We are not discussing Shepherd's Creek.
Brown: That is about $1.4 million.
De Weerd: Seven percent of that is the non-reimbursable.
Bird: Thirty percent is non-reimbursable.
De Weerd: Oh, thirty percent?
Bird: Thirty is non -seven is, so we are right at -
Jewett: $980,000.
Bird: Oh, $980,000.
De Weerd: Mike do you know how much of the $350,000 is applied to South
Ridge to this particular project?
Brown: To the 21 inch?
De Weerd: Yeah.
Brown: Well, just the 30 and the 27 that go through South Ridge.
De Weerd: How much of the $350,000?
Jewett: When I checked my book this morning it showed that there is a current
reimbursable based on its progress today to $425,000 to the city to date. To
date, but he is not 100 percent, but to date in our books it shows $425,000
reimbursable due from the city.
De Weerd: Okay. Len do you have the percentages?
Grady: Madame Mayor, sorry no I don't have those at my fingertips, but I wanted
some clarification on the cashier's check. We didn't require a cashier's check.
We just said letter of credit just to cover the remaining amount and they couldn't
get a letter of credit quick enough so they delivered a cashier's check and that
was per Council's recommendation -because we were relaxing that 80 percent
that was just a cover just to make sure that we were going to get the project
completed.
De Weerd: How much of that is - oh you don't have that with you.
Meridian City Council SpeZTal Meeting •
December 20, 2007
Page 20 of 25
Grady: I could give you some really rough estimates. I would think that the
South Ridge of that $1.5 million is probably less than or probably 25 percent -
the South Ridge portion of - at least the portion going east. That is a rough
estimate. I would guess it is 25 percent of that total project.
Jewett: Madame Mayor and Council just that last discussion about a cashier's
check or a check being given to the city is totally outside of anything that had
gone through me.
De Weerd: No, that is two different projects.
Jewett: Well, Mike tells me it includes part of my project.
De Weerd: Exactly.
Bird: It probably covers your 15 percent. Just what Len just told us the 15
percent that Mr. Rountree proposed is being covered already if we understood
him right.
De Weerd: Yeah, but I don't think Mike wants to cover Jim's 15 percent.
Jewett: I am actually trying to clear on what exactly transpired to facilitate
because this is not covered under the agreement that we have currently on the
27 and 30 inch lines that I am aware of and that Mike would present cash to the
city and able for a reimbursement to occur. This is a little bit out of the scope of
what I understood. So, I am confused.
Rountree: Me too.
Zaremba: Speaking for myself, I am totally lost.
Jewett: Again, I don't know why he would be paying money to the city on a
contract for me. Part of it was for my contract, correct? I am confused on what
transpired here.
Bird: Okay, maybe Len can clear it up.
Grady: Madame Mayor and Members of the Council Matt Schultz approached us
for a partial payment of the line going from Overland east. What he wanted was
sort of a payment of some portion of that and I used our typical approach. I said
let's pay 80 percent of what is complete. I know the reimbursement agreement
was for 100 percent, but given they were delayed in Linder I said we would
consider an 80 percent payment. When we received the calculations on what
portion was remaining it also included a payment for the 21 inch going west.
said no that is not part of any reimbursement agreements that we have, so
Meridian City Council Spe~ Meeting •
December 20, 2007
Page 21 of 25
Brown went back and gave us a smaller amount that covered 80 percent - or
covered that remaining amount of the portion going east. Again, we didn't
require a cashier's check; typically we just take a letter of credit. They couldn't
get one in time so Brown delivered to us a check for the remaining amount of the
section going east. That allowed that -that gave us the clout that you guys
asked for before we paid that reimbursement. So we would go ahead and pay
that reimbursement and that request has been made and again that was all Matt
Schultz as he was the project manager for those contracts.
Bird: So the certified check that we have got now is strictly Shepherd's Creek?
Grady: Originally it was enough to cover both east and west and we said no we
don't have an agreement going east. We can't accept those funds. So they
reissued -
Rountree: Going west you mean?
Grady: Yes, going west, sorry.
Nary: Madame Mayor and Members of the Council. Len so I am clear this is the
discussion that we have had with Finance yesterday and this morning and then
you will get a supplement to that agreement, basically a stipulation because
Finance was concerned that the approval on Tuesday was adequate for them to
issue the payments based on what Mr. Grady is talking about. They wanted
something on the record, so I told them we would prepare a stipulation. So you
will get all of this in a written form, but it doesn't relate to Mr. Jewett's project at
all. It is only related to the reimbursements to Linder 109 and Shepherd's Creek,
LLC.
De Weerd: So basically where we are at is Mr. Jewett is going to give us a letter
of credit --?
Grady: Letter of credit.
De Weerd: A letter of credit for 15 percent. We will reimburse 95 percent,
holding 5 percent. Is that where we are at?
Grady: And the 15 plus the 5 equals the 20 that we would normally -
De Weerd: Okay, this works for everyone?
Nary: And the completion of the project is the completion of everything.
Jewett: That is correct.
Nary: Roadway and everything.

Jewett: That is what I understand.
De Weerd: Is that what you understand, Mike?
Brown: Yes.
Jewett: Just so I have clarity on this other thing - in reference to the line going
east that would be from the City of Meridian -
De Weerd: Yes, we are only talking about this agreement.
Jewett: The agreement we are talking about is the 21 inch, which is the line
going west. The line going east from my understanding and listening to Len and
listening to Mike is that they calculated that when Mike submitted for
reimbursement that he was $350,000 short of finishing the entire job. So he put
up $350,000 and he is going to get money back from the city through me for the
reimbursement part of it because Linder 109 is me. That Linder 109 is me. That
is the entity that owns South Ridge is Linder 109 so I don't want you to be
confused and think that Linder 109 is somebody else. It is me. So he put money
up to turn around and get money back. I think I have clarity on it. I don't
remember it being covered under our contract, but it sounds like your Counsel
said there is going to be a slight amendment to the contract that would address
that though.
Nary: Yes. The Finance Department just wanted something on the record
approved by the Council. So we will do a stipulation to that to approve the
payment, but that won't be back in front of the Counsel until the next scheduled
meeting on the 8th of January.
Jewett: We are here today discussing the 21 inches, the line going west and that
one, the agreement that we haven't signed yet you are going to put language in
for the 15 and the 5?
Nary: Yes.
De Weerd: Yes.
Jewett: I have clarity.
De Weerd: And that it can be paid - it can be a greeting concept here and I can
be authorized signed once your signature is on there and there is -right?
Nary: Yes.
Meridian City Council SpeZral Meeting •

Zaremba: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: I guess I have two questions. The first one is a general policy and it
applies to everybody all over the city. The reason the contractor would give us
money is so that if something happens to the contractor or the developer we can
pay somebody else to finish the job, is that the purpose?
Bird: Yes.
Zaremba: I am seeing heads nod yes. Second question. In what we have just
agreed to is there a date involved or when are we going to cut a check to Mr.
Jewett?
De Weerd: When there is a signed contract. When he has signed it then I am
authorized to sign as long as you guys make that motion.
Borton: And ACHD's agreement. (Inaudible) is paid, signed by all parties and
ACHD's signed approval. Completion by the Commission (inaudible--).
Bird: Madame Mayor, I think Len wants to say something.
Grady: Madame Mayor and Members of the Council, I would just suggest that
the first 80 percent payment be upon substantial completion and the ACRD
approval. They still have some more to finish and it still needs to meet our
criteria for substantial completion so the latter of the ACRD agreement and the
entire project being substantially complete then we would issue a request for the
80 percent.
Jewett: Yes, completely understood as the basis of the original contract and our
contract.
Zaremba: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: I move we approve that arrangement.
Borton: I don't think we need a motion to do this.
Bird: We need to get -
Rountree: I think we have general agreement amongst the Council, Madame
Mayor that contingencies as we have spoken to about the percentage of
Meridian City Council SpeL~al Meeting •
December 20, 2007
Page 24 of 25
reimbursement, the timing of the 80 percent and the timing of all reimbursement
keyed to the execution of the agreement with ACHD. Those are the key points I
think.
De Weerd: But, do you need to authorize me to sign the contract? I need a
motion to authorize me to sign it.
Nary: Madame Mayor and Members of the Council unless I misunderstood I am
thinking that Mr. Jewett wants an agreement prior to ACHD's meeting, although
our agreement is contingent upon their approval of their agreement. Is that
correct Mr. Jewett?
Jewett: Yes. Madame Mayor and Council we are not asking that you approve
the payment. We are just asking you to approve the agreement. The payment
request will come sometime in January after all of the ACRD -again, we are not
looking for that, we are just looking for the agreement to be authorized.
Nary: Madame Mayor and Members of the Council so if I understand part of
Councilman Zaremba's motion so I make sure the language is correct while
everybody is standing in this room that the payment can be made upon
substantial completion of this project. The portion is 80 percent reimbursement
or excuse 95 percent reimbursement, 5 percent of the reimbursement agreement
would be retained till the completion of 100 percent of the project, 15 percent of
the total cost of reimbursement would be provided in a letter of credit. So the city
is going to give you 95 percent. You are going to return 15 percent in a letter of
credit and 5 percent will be retained until the end of the project, which is 100
percent completion which includes asphalt, paving, collars and all of that. Is that
what everybody understands?
De Weerd: That is what I am tracking.
Bird: That is my understanding.
Jewett: I concur.
Zaremba: The maker of the motion says that Mr. Nary has encapsulated my
intent exactly and I appreciate that.
Rountree: I will second that.
De Weerd: Okay, so we do have a motion. Don't ask me to repeat it. Mr. Berg,
if there is nothing further Council? Okay, Mr. Berg.
Roll Call Vote: Zaremba, aye; Rountree, aye; Bird, aye; Borton, aye.
ALL AYES. MOTION CARRIED.

Rountree: Madame Mayor I guess I might make a comment while Mr. Jewett
and Mr. Brown are here. Though it is kind of a round-about way of doing
business and I agree this should have been done in August or shortly thereafter.
I do appreciate the risk taken or we would still be here scratching our heads and
wondering when the sewer and road prism might show up out there. I think that
the August of 2008 might be a little optimistic, but I think it is still probably doable
with all things coming together.
De Weerd: We just don't want to take the pressure off Jim.
Rountree: But anyway Merry Christmas to everybody and happy New Year and
hopefully you will smile a little more after the first of the year when the checks
start rolling in.
Borton: I would move to adjourn.
Bird: Second.
De Weerd: All those in favor say aye.
ALL AYES. MOTION CARRIED.
