De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Council, if there is no questions for staff, do I have a
motion?
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I move that we approve Item No. 9, FP 08-016.
Bird: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. I have a motion and a second to approve Item 9. If there is no
discussion, Madam Clerk, will you call roll.
Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Item 10: Continued Public Hearing from September 9, 2008: AP 08-003
Request for City Council Review for an Appeal of Director's Determination
to deny alternative compliance to allow a portion of the former Idaho Truss
site to be used for shared parking for the Broadway Integrated Project
(CZC 08-018) by Ward Schwider - 130 East Broadway Avenue:
De Weerd: Okay. Item 10 is a continued public hearing on AP 08-003. Is the applicant
here tonight? They might have made the recommendation and assumed that it would
be continued. Council, I would say that I did meet with the applicant -- not regarding
this application, but regarding the rail corridor and the movements that Union Pacific
Railroad has made in considering multi-year leases and their question Ithink -- and I
don't know why they have requested the continuance, but I would think that there is a
relationship with the urban renewal district and how this would correlate with the urban
renewal district's plan. So, that's -- that's the limited knowledge I have on this. Anna,
did they give an explanation?
Parsons: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, the applicant e-mailed me Tuesday
saying that -- as you mentioned, they did have some commitments from Union Pacific.
They want to make sure that those are in writing before they bring anything back to you
and they hoped to have that done within the following month. So, that's primarily why
they -- they are holding up on that.
De Weerd: We did send an a-mail --Ithink it should be part of the public record -- from
Jim Larsen with the Union Pacific that does reflect their movement for amulti-term lease
-- or multi-year leases.
Rountree: Madam Mayor, my concern with this is that we have heard that for
something on the order of three months, if not longer.

De Weerd: We didn't believe it before, though.
Rountree: Do we now?
De Weerd: From what I have heard from their representatives that I have met with, I
think there is some very positive movement for our community.
Baird: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Councilman Rountree, I'm looking at the
September 24th a-mail from Jim Larsen of the Union Pacific. At the end he does say he
will prepare a draft for these -- this entity to review regarding the multi-year lease. So, if
your concern is that we are just getting strung along with the same excuses, it looks like
there is some movement. We would certainly want to review the document itself, rather
than the a-mail regarding those commitments.
Rountree: Madam Mayor, with that, then, I might suggest that the date be moved to the
26th of November -- or to the 25th of November.
De Weerd: Okay.
Bird: What date?
Rountree: 25th.
Bird: Of November?
Rountree: And that's light speed for the entities we are dealing with.
De Weerd: I guess, Mr. Rountree, I don't know why they chose the 5th, but --
Rountree: They actually didn't in their letter. It just said to November hearing, so --
De Weerd: Okay. Well, certainly, if there is a motion, if it's the 5th or the 25th, it's
certainly your motion.
Rountree: Madam Mayor, I would move that we continue Item 10, public hearing AP
08-003 until November 25th, 2008, for one final time.
Bird: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. I have a motion and a second to continue Item 10 to November 25th.
All those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
