I will be faxing Mike Brokaw's impact fee item — Mike and his assistant are both on vacation so I can't email it to you. Watch for it in the next hour or two. Do you know how many are coming on Monday? It helps to know for the lunch count. I think it's Meridian's turn to buy — I'll check on that.

Arnold, Vice President Sherry R. Huber, Commissioner Dave Bivens, Commissioner Carol A. McKee, Commissioner Attached are traffic forecasts that project traffic flow on Pine Avenue with Pine Avenue extended and other improvements completed that are proposed in the 2030 planning horizon. Essentially, it shows that 3 lanes will be adequate in the next 20 years on Pine Avenue west of Locust Grove. Typically the half mile roadways such as Pine have been adequate at 2 to 3 lanes at build out. Exceptions have been in the highly developed areas such as Milwaukee Street adjacent to Boise Town Square and connecting to the Interstate freeway. Examples of arterials with over 10,000 ADT and considered to be built out at 2 to 3 lanes are Rose Hill, Warm Springs, Harrison and Boise Avenue. cc: J.

Overview of Meridian Split Corridor Phase I Meridian Development Corporation and ACHD are working on a final Interagency Landscape Agreement and the goal is to have it completed by July 2008, Right of Way is continuing to negotiate with property owners with acquisition scheduled to be complete by late summer 2008. Once right of way acquisitions are complete, the plans will be finalized and the project will go to bid. The bid is currently scheduled for fall 2008. Overview of Meridian Split Corridor Phase II Design is underway and traffic models are being reviewed. A key item is the configuration of the Fairview/Meridian intersection. The intersection design depends on the decision whether Fairview will be 5 or 7 lanes. The Fairview Concept Design will address this question and staff is reviewing schedule implications for Meridian Split Corridor Phase II pending the 5 or 7 lane decision. The 3rd Street Extension has also been discussed with the project team and staff is compiling the information. Under the new FYWP, the construction is scheduled for 2012.

Arnold, Commissaonl March 17, 2008 Mr. Shaun Wardle Meridian Development Corporation 33 E. Idaho Ave. Meridian, ID 83642 Subject: Downtown Meridian Parking Plan Dear Mr. Wardle, I am writing this letter in response to your submittal of the Downtown Meridian Parking Plan. After a thorough review we have determined that the general parking layout is acceptable with one minor concern. However, our review has brought to our attention the need to address State and Federal accessibility requirements. We also need to determine what constitutes a "street block" for accessibility purposes. Overall, the general layout is acceptable. There are locations where the proposed street width/stall depth combinations don't quite meet ACRD policy, but those are typically locations where diagonal parking already exists. There haven't been significant problems with the existing diagonal parking, so we support its continuation in the plan_ Our minor concern is with the parallel parking on Carlton between Main and Meridian. Although the policy allows parking on both sides of roads with as little as 32 feet of curb - to -curb width, the emergency service providers may have concerns. I suggest that you discuss the proposed parking layout on Carlton with the Meridian Fire Department. If they have concerns, there may stili be ways to maintain much of the proposed parking. Our legal review made it clear that the parking plan must meet State and Federal accessibility requirements, including sidewalk access where accessible parking spaces are provided. These accommodations do not appear to be included in your plan at this time. We believe as many as 12 pedestrian ramps and 19 additional accessible parking spaces will be required to meet State and Federal requirements. MDC will have to make provisions in the plan to assure accessibility before we can approve the plan. The exact number of required accessible parking spaces relates to the definition of a "street block". Idaho Code defines a "street block" as "...that portion of a city street between consecutive parallel intersections". We take that to mean parking on both sides of a single street for one block; e.g., Main Street between Pine and Idaho. Cities are allowed to modify the code requirements on the recommendation of a properly selected committee, at least 50% of whose members must be persons with disabilities. Ada County Highway District • 3775 Adams Street • Garden City, 1D • 83714 - PH 208 387-6100 - FX 345-7650 • www.achd.ada.id.us ;., ,:.,; Meridian could form a committee and decide to consider a "street block" to be a contiguous area bounded by public streets, as has been done in Boise and Nampa. By our count, the required number of pedestrian ramps and accessible parking spaces would be reduced to 9 ramps and 15 parking spaces. The other option is to adjust the plan to reflect the code. Once that determination is made, we can finalize the number and location of accessible parking spots. A project to implement the necessary accessibility might be something the Ada County Highway District (ACRD) can participate in. We have undertaken a similar pedestrian accessibility improvement project, with Boise City and the Capital City Development Corporation (CCDC) as partners. Boise City gets Community Development Block Grant funds from HUD every year, as does the City of Meridian. Last year, Boise City and the CCDC decided to program some of those funds to increase ADA compliance in the downtown core. They identified specific areas that they requested ACHD to review for compliance. Once the review was done, locations were prioritized to fit the budget. The project ended up with $150,000 for upgrading pedestrian ramps in the downtown core. The funds were assigned to ACHD and we then put out a contract to get it completed. Although this type or partnership is a possibility, the timing of any ACHD funding/participation has not been determined. ACHD has the ultimate responsibility for compliance with accessibility requirements in the right-of-way, even though the City has authority over many parking -related issues. I'm sure that we can work together to resolve these issues and finalize the parking pian. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at (208)-387-6146.

Droz File low E IDIAN �R April 3, 2008 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor de Weerd and City Council FROM: Matt Ellsworth 4W Mayor Tammy de Weerd CC: Pete Friedman, Adam Zaragoza, Kendall Kemmer RE: ACHD Joint Meeting — Split Corridor Update City Council Members: Keith Bird Joe Borton Charles Rountree David Zaremba Agenda item 1 for the joint meeting with the ACHD Commission on Monday, April 7, 2008 is the Downtown Spilt Corridor. In addition to an overview of project schedules and progress to date (on phases 1 and 2), the project team also seeks direction on one assumption feeding into the design of Phase 2 — specifically number of lanes on Fairview in relation to the Fairview/Meridian intersection. ACHD staff provided an update on the Fairview Concept Design at the special City Council meeting on March 11, 2008. The Mayor and Council expressed concerns about a seven lane Fairview Avenue entering into Downtown. Communities in Motion and ACHD's CIP both anticipate seven lanes on Fairview, and there is not currently enough information available to determine the full, network wide impacts of constraining Fairview to five lanes. However, traffic modeling performed for Phase 2 design indicates that a five lane Fairview causes westbound traffic on Fairview to stack through the Fairview/Main intersection from the Fairview/Meridian intersection (i.e. the Fairview/Main intersection fails). Similarly, eastbound traffic on Fairview will stack through the Fairview/Meridian intersection from the Fairview/Main intersection. City staff will continue to work with ACHD staff and consultants to identify roadway treatments for Fairview that will meet the objectives of both the City and ACRD. In the meantime, for the purposes of assumptions feeding into Phase 2 design, City staff recommends the following: U. 1)4- 1 Ei � 4'..'3111") Facsimile Cover Sheet Date 3(- -S 1— os Name P'-�'— F �.'

Staff Present: Bill Nary, Kyle Radek, Matt Ellsworth, Pete Friedman and Jaycee Holman. Item 1. Update on Split Corridor Phase I & II Zaragoza: -- just a general overlay and the MDC and the city must review and approve the landscape bid alternates prior to bid award. Right-of-way status, we are scheduled to be complete by June 1St. We are approximately 15 percent complete with the final 11 properties under negotiation. Bid and construction schedule, final bid plans and specs, August, 2008; bid opening and approvals in October and construction right now is scheduled for February 2009 and August 2009. Phase II, design completion scheduled for the summer of 2007 — project limits are Franklin to Fairview / Cherry Lane and we are scheduled for our first open house in August 2008. The Fairview, Main and Fairview, Meridian intersections — Fairview Avenue has been identified as a mobility corridor and preserved for seven lanes and recent discussion has come about on whether or not five or seven lanes are needed in this section between Main and Meridian. Traffic numbers support the seven lanes and those are coming from COMPASS, for the forecast of demand and the long range transportation plans. The Meridian and Main and 3rd Street intersections all operate satisfactory within the seven lanes and within a week if we don't get a decision on this design, we will be delayed. An approximate time, we don't know, but we need to have a decision within the next week. 3rd Street extension is sponsored by the city and we are a separate party that is working with them and with the 3rd Street extension that does change the signal locations between Meridian and Main. Phase II of the schedule load, preliminary and design for January 2009 -- final design for the summer of 2009, right-of-way, 2010 and 2011 and construction in 2012. With that I will stand for questions. Speaker unknown: Quick question, who do you need a decision from in a week about the design? I just saw a whole bunch of elected officials here just kind of glaze over thinking how does that happen. 0 Meridian City CounciVACHD Commissioners Joint Meeting April 7, 2008 Page 2 of 16 Zaragoza: What we are looking for is a joint decision between elected officials here to move forward within these limits at seven lanes. Just within these limits. Huber: What does the model show for the traffic volume? Zaragoza: It is around 45,000 adt. Huber: That would require the seven lanes and that is from COMPASS? Do you know if most of the traffic increase is coming from the west? I am assuming they did, but I don't know. Meaning so that we all understand where the growth is being created that would cause this 45,000 because I think that would be important. Zaragoza: Ms. Huber you are correct, most of that traffic is coming from the west (inaudible). Huber: Okay, so it really depends on Meridian's (inaudible) basically to the west to get that to come to fruition and what was the timeframe for that 45,000? Zaragoza: 2030. McKee: Any other questions? De Weerd: And those are also with improved corridors at McMillan, Ustick and the rail corridor? Zaragoza: That is correct. De Weerd: And that is with the rail corridor as well? Zaragoza: I may stand corrected here, but Matt Ellsworth is coming up. Ellsworth: Madame Mayor, Madame President, Council and Commissioners, just to clarify briefly a couple of things relating to the rail corridor and (inaudible) had questions over at COMPASS indicated that the numbers that are feeding in a bottle are based on Communities in Motion and Communities in Motion are fiscally constrained plans. There are no dollars on the table right now for a transit system and does not have anything built in for removal of truss from the arterial network onto the rail corridor. She did also mention that during Communities in Motion when they were bringing that plan together they took a look at some of the possible impacts of a rapid transit system or some type of another rail and (inaudible) indicated that the mitigation of that would — just a decrease in trips on the arterial network was somewhat negligible, meaning that it will be used, but the impacts you might end up seeing on the arterial roads wouldn't be as substantial as one might think. I just follow up briefly on the direction that Adam was looking for today. As I understood it he was not looking 0 Meridian City CounciVACHD Commissioners Joint Meeting April 7, 2008 Page 3 of 16 for concrete, set in stone decision as to whether Fairview should be five or seven lanes. At staff level, anyway, we had discussed that it seemed more appropriate to check some of those different approaches further on the Fairview study, which is in the process right now, preferably earlier in that process than later, but for the purposes of discussion today, we were interested in the assumptions feeding into the design for the Meridian, Fairview intersection, which as Anna indicated, ACHD staff, the consultant and city staff, for those purposes feels that considering seven rather than five may be the way to go with the understanding that if it needs to be scaled back at some point in the future that is going to be a lot easier to do from a corridor preservation and a right-of-way standpoint than trying to build a larger intersection. McKee: So this is just Meridian and Fairview that you are talking about? Ellsworth: Correct. McKee: Any other questions? Huber: So if we picked seven, then we would preserve for seven and if in the interim while we are doing the studies somebody came in with some kind of application, is that --? Zaragoza: Can you repeat the question, Ms. Huber, I don't understand? Huber: If we said seven as you said you could scale it down later, but the biggest reason to say seven is to preserve the right-of-way that in the event interim level of final decisions being made that we would purchase the greater that could be scaled down? Or are you saying you don't even think they will be purchasing at that time, it is just a planning tool --? I mean if somebody comes in with some new thing that we don't know about — Goodell: Maybe we could put this in a bigger context, the question about five or seven lanes — we need to have that discussion for Fairview overall. And we sent the letter to Mayor De Weerd asking for two representatives to sit on the policy committee with some of our Commissioners and the City of Boise. De Weerd: It will be these two, Keith and David. Goodell: Oh, excellent. De Weerd: We are drafting the letter. Goodell: Oh, good, thank you very much. We will tackle that question. The seven lane question right now we can expect to (inaudible--) the design of those intersections (inaudible) and what we don't want to do is we don't want to go about (inaudible) design with a certain set of assumptions and then go back and • 0 Meridian City CounciVACHD Commissioners Joint Meeting April 7, 2008 Page 4 of 16 redesign. That is not a good use of taxpayer money. So, if Meridian is comfortable with saying we think this should be seven lanes in this one segment for the purpose of the design then we can go high with it. If we need to let this policy group have this conversation a little bit and then — it would mean that we would put design on hold temporarily on that project because of the long term schedule — we probably would have — it would delay design — but, we wouldn't want to delay the design very long. (Inaudible discussion) Bird: If you push it back for design then you start pushing everything else back. (Inaudible discussion) McKee: Mr. Zaremba had a question? Zaremba: Yes, thank you. I have volunteered to be on the group. Not to prejudge what that group may come up with, but consider what the alternatives is. It is unlikely that that group is going to say no, we need nine lanes. I tend to think it is unlikely to think that that group is going to say five is okay because we have got four now and it is not working and I realize a lot of things are going to change when we do the rest of the split corridor, but I would feel safe designing that intersection to be a seven by five. That would be my opinion, not wanting to precast what the group is going to come up with, but that would seem safe to me. McKee: Is that what you all are pretty happy with? Bird: Well, it is five already, so — Zaremba: Meridian for five. Bird: Well, Meridian for five, but Fairview is already five and Cherry Lane, so yeah. De Weerd: We will have an answer by next week. McKee: Bruce Mills has a comment to make. Mills: Well, just to answer Commissioner Huber's question, currently the existing CIP as this portion of Fairview for seven lanes, we are preserving right-of-way when it comes to design for seven lanes. That is not changing at this point. Huber: So it is really only this design right now that we don't want to have to change twice? McKee: Okay, then we will be looking (inaudible), right? • Meridian City CounciVACHD Commissioners Joint Meeting April 7, 2008 Page 5 of 16 De Weerd: Well, we don't have a quorum, so we will just bring it up tomorrow night. McKee: Okay. And we have our two members for our committee. Huber: So, in order to keep it on schedule, you are saying that there would need to be some decision made within this week? Zaragoza: That is correct. (Inaudible discussion) McKee: So are we finished with the split corridor? We need to move onto our interagency coordination. Item 2. Discussion — Interagency Coordination McKee: And what are we doing with interagency coordination? Friedman: Thank you Madame President, Madame Mayor, Council and Commissioners. I just wanted to give you a little update on what we have been doing at staff level and try to bring together some better communication between our two staffs. Anna, Christy, Gary and I met a few weeks ago and worked out a protocol and we are going to start involving our staff (inaudible) and try to work more closely at some of our comment meetings (inaudible) on some of the larger, as we call them, traffic challenged projects. And so we are kind of getting ahead of the ball if you will rather than waiting for you to respond to our comment requests and us to respond to yours and try to bring things a little bit closer together so Caleb and Mindy are working out timeline schedules so your staff can attend some of our meetings and our staff can attend some of your comment meetings. That was one idea. I know Councilman Rountree also had some ideas about how as elected officials you could start coordinating. I think some of this conversation is occurring as part of the alliance conversations and particularly the Five Year Work Program and CIP programs and communications because as you know we are pretty active in tracking the development of the Five Year Work Plan and sometimes we get the feeling that we are running to catch up and so we are trying to work out ways, both at the staff level as well as the Commission and Council level, where we can more efficiently get our desires, our comments and so forth. So I realize that that is going to probably be one of the primary focuses on the next alliance discussion, I mean that really is the proximity. That is why we put this on here and had it on here to see if there were any other concerns or questions they we could advise in terms of how we can help get the information to you and your staff. • 0 Meridian City CounciVACHD Commissioners Joint Meeting April 7, 2008 Page 6 of 16 McKee: Well, I think it is a great idea. We appreciate it. Are there any comments or questions? Zaremba: I know I always, well not always, but in the last several years felt there was very good cooperation between our two entities and we appreciate having Christy show up at our Council meetings on a regular basis and there until the last (inaudible--). I need to apologize for one thing. At the last alliance meeting, I represented Meridian in saying that April 10 was okay for the next meeting and then discovered that we were scheduled for an all day strategic planning session that day and I don't know if the decision has been made, it could be that people be here representing us — McKee: We have rescheduled that for the 23rd. It is on our Wednesday evening meeting, so we are going to have that meeting before our evening meeting. Zaremba: You can tell I haven't read too many of my emails lately. McKee: Well that is okay and that is why we have these meetings. Zaremba: Sony I am behind. De Weerd: Well, we appreciate the confession anyway. (Inaudible discussion) Friedman: Madame Mayor and Madame President, just one other item I neglected to mention, not only are the development review staffs are trying to coordinate together, but we meet with Christy and (inaudible) for planning session and we are trying to work and get the district's staff and our staff working together earlier in the process on the longer range issues. I think we met with you (inaudible) about South Meridian and that was good representation on how we were able to work together. But, we have some discussions with Chris and how we can start getting them involved as we start developing (inaudible) and annexations and rezone levels and getting comments earlier. If anything, it is a work in process and we are working in a positive direction. McKee: Any other questions or comments? Huber: I just wanted to tell you that you have brought up Christy being at your meetings. After each meeting, each one of our liaisons runs a report about what happened and sends it to the Commission. So on a weekly basis we get to find out first hand what you guys are up to. (Inaudible discussion) • • Meridian City CounciVACHD Commissioners Joint Meeting April 7, 2008 Page 7 of 16 Huber: Anyway, we appreciate all of our liaisons because we know they stay there until late at night and that they type up a report and we are all very happy to read those. McKee: Okay, if there is nothing else. Item 3. MDC Downtown Striping Plan Wardle: Just a brief update on the downtown striping plan. The Development Corporation hired Keller Associates to put together strategy plan this fall and we received comments from traffic — I have one clarification and maybe Terry can help me out in terms of it appears that we need to form a committee to address some accessibility issues in terms of our striping plan. And my question is is that something that the Development Corporation is going to undertake? Does it need to be a city sponsored event? I am sort of unclear as to who the regulating body is. Little: Sabrina has done this over in Nampa. Do you know Sabrina? Bowman: I believe it needs to be the cities. Little: Basically what this is is you can go by Idaho Code, which defines a block and the linear projection from intersection to intersection on both sides of the street or you can go with a committee and define it as the four block faces, your mobility impaired requirements of having spaces and access to those spaces is connected to that definition and you can see the difference between having four faces verses two to have to meet. It means you are going to have to have a lot more spaces and access points to the sidewalk if you go by the existing code and what Boise City and Nampa City have done is they set up this committee and said yeah this is really adequate this type of thing and the ability to reduce the requirements so you are not required to put as many spaces in and access points. Wardle: Well, the challenge that we are working with in Meridian is there are in our downtown core, there are some challenges in terms of getting close enough to ramp some accessible sidewalks to make it feasible. We can put them wherever, but if they are not feasible and they are not usable, it doesn't really make any sense. And so that is what we really try to do with the study. So now I have got clarification on which agency to work with and ask Mayor and Council with your permission and ask to work with Matt to set that committee up and revise our plan and hopefully we will get this done — I think we are shooting for the fall in terms of the abstract. McKee: Sounds good. • Meridian City CounciVACHD Commissioners Joint Meeting April 7, 2008 Page 8 of 16 Bird: We have been waiting long enough to get this started down there. Let's get it going. McKee: Okay, if there are no other questions, we will move to the next item. Item 4. Update on 3rd Street Alignment Study Ellsworth: Thank you Madame President, Madame Mayor, Council and Commissioners. The 3rd Street extension alignment study is moving forward and we are on schedule right now to have (inaudible) with recommendations sometime in the summer. So far we sat down in February with area stakeholders that would be impacted directly with one of the three alignments that we are currently analyzing and to set the parameters (inaudible) moving into the study. We are scheduled for a public involvement meeting on April 16ti' and that has been moved to the Meridian Police Department from 4 to 6:30. It is going to be for the broader public to soak in what is going on so far and take a look at the conceptual cross section that the consultant has been developing just to provide a (inaudible--). Craig Herndon from Planning and Programming has been closely involved in this, attended the stakeholder meetings and we have appreciated his support and his perspectives. (Inaudible--) brings to the table (inaudible) and thanks to him and appreciate his being on board with this. I would stand for any questions. McKee: Any questions? Huber: What is the potential end date for time -wise --? Ellsworth: I don't know that we have targeted a specific end date, just the contract goes through mid July (inaudible) and the consultant has indicated that assuming no little speed bumps come up between now and then but it should be anytime. De Weerd: The Fire Department doesn't like speed bumps. McKee: Okay, any other comments or questions? Zaremba: The public meeting is on the 16th, correct? (Inaudible discussion) Item 5. South Meridian Plan Amendment Friedman: Madame President, Madame Mayor, Council and Commission Members I just wanted to update the Commission. The City Council on March 0 of this year adopted South Meridian Comprehensive Plan Amendment and that was a planning process of almost two years in the making and involved about • 0 Meridian City CounciVACHD Commissioners Joint Meeting April 7, 2008 Page 9 of 16 500 people and it went through about three different iterations on the future land use map. As I mentioned a little while ago we worked pretty closely and we timed it with the development of your South Meridian transportation plan. I think one of the interesting things about this amendment is it had two key benefacts. One is it added approximately 14 acres to the area, which the city is now to go to Ada County and request an area of impact expansion. The other thing it did was it dropped out over 5,000 acres of land that was actually folded into your South Meridian transportation plan. If you look at the map there is an area to the west that is referred to as a future planning area; an area of referral and during our initial planning for this amendment, we had a variety of planned use designations that have been going back and looking at the numbers factors, including the existing inventory of undeveloped lots in the cities and the cities ability to provide services, preferences of the residents and the landowners out there and the lack of services. We had recommended to both Planning Commissioners and Council that there really wasn't a strong need for us to push into that area at this time and that we could come back and visit it in the future when the conditions has changed. I assume one of those conditions would be the Ten Mile Interchange (inaudible), but we really are going to be focusing our efforts in other parts of the city, specifically those that were identified by the City Council and the Mayor at their strategic planning last summer. So, the South Meridian Transportation Plan was models based on a land use alternative that we had taken originally to the Planning and Zoning Commission and it included land use designations for all of that area. That has all been backed out now and potentially the cities (inaudible-) as is sort of status quo at least in the near future and Craig I noticed here we haven't had a chance to kind of work that path through, but it does have a pretty significant effect on what that transportation plan would look like today. (Inaudible discussion) Huber: So the wide study area is south of Lake Hazel, which isn't (inaudible)? Is that right? Friedman: Yes, Commissioner really right now the new line that was adopted is actually south of Columbia, this jot there and that also is a line that we developed after our discussions with Mayor Dowdy and the Kuna Planning staff and as a result of Commissioner (inaudible) efforts last winter in trying to get cities to identify future boundaries. McKee: Okay, Craig did you have anything that you needed to say? It is just that you are signed up on my agenda so I thought I would be polite and ask. Hemdon: Madame Mayor, Madame President, Councilmen and Commissioners I gave you a brief update after last week's meeting on staffs intent to update the South Meridian Transportation Plans taking into account the effected changes that we approved for the adopted land use assumptions have (inaudible--) account on the study compared to what we had originally modeled. The maps • 0 Meridian City CounciVACHD Commissioners Joint Meeting April 7, 2008 Page 10 of 16 that I handed out to you have just a quick review of the study area we looked at. The first map or the second page is what the study was actually — the demographics used for the study and then the third page was, I want to say close to adopted version of and that was presented to Council and Council made a few minor changes to that land use map and that was what was adopted and so those are what those (inaudible) maps are. My hope is to have another contract in about another month and the update will take about three months to do and we will come back at that time with the updated version; it is our intent to work with the City of Meridian Planning staff so that we can make sure that we move forward and (inaudible). It is difficult to come before you and tell you I have to do an update on the study and tell you that the study that there were many successes out of it that brought to mind the cooperation with the city and keep things going and (inaudible). McKee: Any questions for Craig? Mayor? De Weerd: I guess as you look at this and because it is still central, it's influenced by what happens in Canyon County to the west and Kuna to the south are some of the considerations as to what is happening west and south taken into consideration in this study area? Hemdon: Madame Mayor, Madame President, Councilmen and Commissioners the (inaudible) begins with the bad is this is based on the Communities in Motion model that went through the City of Meridian's land use changes and applied those demographics into the model to come up with the projections. We are getting some projections of increase from Kuna and from the west and as part of that I don't know necessarily what you are contemplating, but it is within the model being increased. De Weerd: Madame President, I guess I ask that is that it doubled the land mass and it wasn't in Communities in Motion and certainly those cars aren't going to stay south of Kuna. They will travel through Meridian, so I just — that is one of the reasons I asked that question is some of these changes that are incurring is how will it influence the study that was recently done when we didn't have that data? Hemdon: Madame Mayor, Madame President, Councilmen and Commissioners that is the same type of situation that we are running into with our Kuna Moms study, our southwest Boise study. Communities in Motion, if you took the community choices model, even the south Meridian area wasn't really included. If you take the trend, you get some of it, but you still don't get the representation of what all of the expected impacts, all the planned communities that are planned, you know, further to the south that would go into this. For the southwest Boise study and the Kuna Morris study we tried to account for some (inaudible) in the demographics that were applying into it and if its sort of one of those up in the air things exactly how much you apply for this area, especially for • • Meridian City CounciVACHD Commissioners Joint Meeting April 7, 2008 Page 11 of 16 like Kuna that is expanding into some of the area. I know that within the model itself it accounts for some of it and the surmountable growth that is going on down there. Huber: Craig do we know when Communities in Motion is going to update their model to include all of this use and activity? And recent, I mean (inaudible) in Kuna a couple of days ago, but do you know how long it is going to take them to get that all into the model? Hemdon: Commissioner Huber, President McKee, the last I heard on it is there is an imminent update to Communities in Motion, exactly whether that is coming this year, next year, two years down the road one of the concerns have been brought to COMASS, but I don't know for sure when the update is planned. Huber: Definitely the concern, we will read about it in the papers, but (inaudible). De Weerd: Will this be something that as a potentially causing the public facilities model so that if things like this are added that they enlist and help mitigate the downstream effects? McKee: You know I am not sure about that because the model, I think (inaudible) public facilities — Huber: Yeah, if we don't have the correct modeling information then everything else — if we don't have it and there are 10,000 cars that come from the south — well, they are coming right through that area and we can't do an extraordinary impact fee; we can't — the model has always been the issue. The modeling is too slow. I don't know why and apparently it can't be fixed, but we need to insist it is fixed. McKee: Well, maybe that is what we need to work on at the alliance. Huber: Well, it all comes back to COMPASS. It has got to react. It has to. Friedman: In preparation, I think we get back to the previous question. COMPASS, in preparation for the update for the long range transportation plan, we are already starting to look at those forecasts and assumptions next year and preparations for next year and preparation for the plan the following year. The Demographic Advisory Committee is already looking at the forecast and updated forecasts because everybody, I think, recognizes the forecast (inaudible--). But, I think the Mayor brings up a good point. That really is — I think one of the major focal points or efforts for the alliance was to kind of bring those land use to Planning and Zoning (inaudible--) to the forefront (inaudible--). The challenge will be how do we get our arms around an unforeseen annexation (inaudible--) from what I read in the paper, is that they didn't necessarily apply land use designations to that area, I think they gave it a base agricultural designation and • • Meridian City CounciVACHD Commissioners Joint Meeting April 7, 2008 Page 12 of 16 they will go back. So you are still are playing with an unknown quantity there and so (inaudible--). Huber: Well, and maybe this has changed, but I always had an issue with the demographics and how they get divided up because many years ago, I asked one of the components do you ever look at the cost of land because the lower cost land is where the development is going to happen first. So, I am thinking back on where we are doing more (inaudible) and now there is such activity in the south and land prices at that time were not even looked at and even if you take a generic one, there is in my mind a significant difference now between the cost of the land in the north and the cost of land in the south and I know that some of that desert ground has sold very reasonable compared to some of the farm ground. So where do you think they are going to push to have it go? If you can (inaudible) 12,000 as opposed to 80,000? Where are you going to put your houses? Friedman: (Inaudible) as the Mayor was indicating the whole question as to the public facilities and then you have your planning community, which is also a wild card in the whole mix because if the City of Kuna, the City of Meridian and the City of Boise say well this is where we are taking our utilities and I am sorry that you are not there and you have public facilities ordinance in place and you sincerely want to do something out there then you had better pony up. I haven't had a chance — what is the (inaudible) in public improvement districts in terms of where development may or may not occur, like the infrastructure and so forth? So there are a number of things that we as a local government need to look at as we are doing this planning and influence where that development is going to go. Huber: (Inaudible) really tricky. Somebody else's growth is somebody else's headache and I think the tricky part for you maybe guys, Kuna and maybe even Star is that (inaudible) if you make the cost of developing in your area higher than the cost of developing in another area and maybe it would bounce off the land, I don't know. But, it seems to me that we especially need to position at a minimum extra impact fees while we are in the process of all of this. (Inaudible discussion) McKee: Well, and we still have the issue of Canyon County. I know I have been speaking with Commissioner (inaudible) ever since he took office and he keeps telling me we are slowing down, but we are still approving subdivisions and they know those cars are all going to go on the freeway (inaudible). So our first joint meeting with the Canyon County Commissioners and the Canyon County Highway District is going to be this month and we are going to set up those meetings very much like the city meets. So we can actually find out what those numbers are. Steve said he would be very happy to provide those to us, but again those numbers are not feeding into the COMPASS model fast enough and we really don't have a clue yet of what they are and how much they are. Slowing • Meridian City CounciVACHD Commissioners Joint Meeting April 7, 2008 Page 13 of 16 down is fine, but as Steve said, they just approved another four. So we probably have to start (inaudible--) and the Highway District (inaudible--). Bird: Canyon County puts more load on Ustick's developments, Amity, 20/26, Franklin than they do on the freeway because when you look at it you would be surprised how many of west comes through Fairview. That is why I want seven lanes there eventually and that is why Ustick has to be widened and improved all the way in because they don't always get on the freeway and you have Middleton that I know everybody is down with the economy down tum, but once they get going back, Sherry hit it right on the head, they are going to develop where the cost of ground is cheaper. That is why Meridian got a lot of development 15 years ago because our development ground at that time was a lot cheaper than Boise's and Nampa has consequently been cheaper than us and so they have got a lot of people over there. Kuna is a good example of what we will do with development (inaudible--). Anyway, I think that is the main thing and I think we have got a very good commission (inaudible--). The only problem they have got is they have got seven different highway districts. (Inaudible discussion) Huber: (Inaudible--) so few direct routes to the freeway, so say from Middleton, so as he said with (inaudible) closed, people find their own routes and they end up coming right through Meridian; just because they don't have those routes and the one that he is trying to work on of course, ITD is going to have to build for them. They have just been flat told don't wont' about this for five to ten years. So where are those people going to continue to go? Traffic is just (inaudible--) cluttered. If they can't easily get to the freeway then they are just going to come down our little two lane farm roads, Star or Eagle or whatever, but they are coming. (Inaudible discussion) McKee: Okay, anything else about the South Meridian plan because we have a time for other and the Mayor has brought us a letter about speeds on Meridian roadways and Terry can you help us out with this? Item 6. Other (Timing Permitting) Little: The issue was someone who had moved back to Meridian and has gotten a few tickets where the speed limits don't seem to make a lot of sense. Speed limits are treated individually in the sense that you look at the conditions on the road, the speed that people are traveling at, the measure of (inaudible), speed related accidents and traffic controls and driveways and those kinds of things and that figures into the speed limit. Sometimes it doesn't make much sense on a system basis, but we will take a look at that as much as we can on a system 0 Meridian City CounciVACHD Commissioners Joint Meeting April 7, 2008 Page 14 of 16 basis. Perhaps Locust Grove is what is referred to there; I think it is still 35 through there with the improvements. (Speaker unknown): I think, Sherry, part of that issue that I read on that letter is the same stretch of road and we have a speed limit change and it might be appropriate from the (inaudible) perspective, but it seems to me that when we were talking about this is maybe we need to look at when there is a speed limit change within a mile or something of alerting those people in a different way because if you come through and it is 35 and then it goes 25 and you are still going 35. If there is a way that we can alert them that there is a speed change, especially if it is on the same strip and maybe that is not possible, but you see what I am saying that if in fact there is some good traffic reason in your perspective to drop it 10 miles — because I have the same gripe on Orchard. I got a ticket there once a long time ago. Because as you are coming up Orchard, it is not a consistent speed limit there either and I know, Kuna has the same issue. De Weerd: Well, I think Pine Street is a great example because it is 35 through most of it until you hit an old town section that it lowers down to 25. And you know — Bird: Well, there is a school there too. De Weerd: Well, not on the other side of Main Street. Bird: You have got a lot of kids walking down there. Personally I think — De Weerd: But Keith it may make sense, you are driving down the corridor and you don't know that it has changed. Maybe there is a designation (inaudible--). I don't know what it could be. Franklin Road is another one where you go from 45 to 35 and at somewhere it is 40 and it is a number of different speeds and it is just trying to — where there is a reason for the speed change that you have a red flat or something. I don't know. (Inaudible discussion) Zaremba: There are also speed reduction a head signs. We should use those more liberally. De Weerd: I don't know people aren't seeing them. (Inaudible discussion) De Weerd: I think it took me five years to see the one on Pine Street. If you see one limit, why would you look for more? 0 • Meridian City CounciVACHD Commissioners Joint Meeting April 7, 2008 Page 15 of 16 Little: When we put in a new speed limit, we put flags on it. I will look and see what is being done nationally in terms of the alerting advance of signs. Now we do some of them — like we do more than ten mile an hour because you need a little time to break that in — somebody had to move out away so they are away from the signalized intersections. We have got some of those permissive intersections where you have somebody coming in at 50, the other guy thinking that this is 35, turns left on a green light and there are some concerns there. I will take a look at what is being done nationally in terms of any additional warnings. McKee: Well, wouldn't it help you if they could identify the streets because it is really hard because (inaudible) and if somebody sees a street and alerts us because I think it is really difficult. (Inaudible discussion) Huber: I am talking about from Chinden to Fairview. (Inaudible discussion) Huber: We are the one that posts the speed limit signs and we have no ability to get any (inaudible). (Inaudible discussion) McKee: Do we have any other? Arnold: I just wanted to talk about the email we got from Christy from last week's City of Meridian Council meeting. I was confused about which parcel you are talking about where they wanted to tax sidewalk and whether or not (inaudible). The sidewalks (inaudible--) who is willing to provide an easement (inaudible--). Richardson: (Inaudible--) and Council really did try to get that; unfortunately the timing is an issue and there is an existing house there right now and just because it is .a preliminary plat and they got approved. So the property owner intends to stay there until they start doing some grading and construction and so we had to accommodate the person and the residents there even though they may not be there in six months. We had to do the same thing for (inaudible). So in this case it was just the timing. Arnold: Was the property owner part of the subdivision application? Richardson: No, the property owner is selling? Arnold: So it was not a part of the subdivision application? It was confusing to me which property owner had an issue with it. (Inaudible--). • Meridian City Counc!VACHD Commissioners Joint Meeting April 7, 2008 Page 16 of 16 Zaremba: What we would really like to have happen is have applicants to just come in in order. Huber: Well, it is just like the infill projects, too. They are just becoming a nightmare. (Inaudible discussion) MEETING ADJOURNED AT 1:30 P.M.

Meridian City Council Special Joint Meeting July 7. 2008 The Meridian City Council special joint meeting was called to order at 12:00 P.M. on Monday, July 7, 2008 at the ACHD Auditorium by Mayor Tammy De Weerd. Members Present: Mayor Tammy de Weerd, Keith Bird, David Zaremba, Charlie Rountree and Joe Borton. ACHD Members Present: John Franden, Sherry Huber, Rebecca Arnold, David Bivens, Carol McKee. Others Present: Jaycee Holman, Pete Friedman, Mike Brokaw, J. Schweitzer, Bruce Mills, Sally Goodell, Steve Price, Justin Bledsoe, Kendall Kemmer, Andrew O'Connor, Gary Inselman, Christy Little, Terry Little, Sabrina Bowman, Scott Spears, Susan Slaughter, Will Berg. Item 1. Status Report on Fairview / Main Intersection Study: Bledsoe: Madame President, Madame Mayor a brief update on the Meridian Split Corridor Phase II. I was asked to specifically talk about the Main, Cherry Intersection. The first PDF that you will see is what will be done or what is currently planned to be done with the Phase II project. It is kind of hard to see all of the line work in there, but basically we will be removing that free running right tum lane and you will be removing the left turn lane into the Cherry Plaza if you are going eastbound. This is planned that with these improvements as part of this project that these intersections will function for a given period of time. I am not sure exactly what that given period of time will be, but it does look as the traffic builds in this area that something else will need to be done at the Main, Cherry intersection. Six Mile Engineers, the designing engineering firm for this company has looked at four alternatives and they are currently evaluating those and that report should be submitted to ACHD this week, preliminary. It is the second page of the four options of what to do there. Scenario A is remove the signal and stop conditions and also remove the entrance into the Cherry Plaza and then B, C and D are different variations of leaving the signal in the approach in there and then just restricting different tum movements and once that report is submitted the ACHD project team can get together, look at that, see what it means for long term, when that would need to take place. The reason that they looked at this before they issue this is because of the proximity of those two intersections. They are only 400 feet apart and you get vehicles cuing from one intersection, cuing back through another one and causing a domino affect. But, like as I stated on the first PDF shows what is planned with the Phase II project and then somewhere down in the future I have to look at something else for the Cherry intersection. The other information provided is just the conceptual layouts of the project, where we are at, the cross over have been identified for locations and try to minimize impacts there and use the ACHD properties and then also we looked at the alignments for the road of Meridian Road, shifting to the left, but • Meridian City Council Special Joint Meeting July 7, 2008 Page 2 of 19 that looked like it wasn't the least impact for right of way. But at this point the project is on schedule for design and is scheduled to be completed next year with right of way in 2010 and 2011 the construction (inaudible). Is there any questions? Zaremba: Madame Chair there has been some discussions about on Meridian Road whether there would be medians reducing the left tum movements so when you are crossing — I am not being able to interpret from this drawing whether they are in there or not. Bledsoe: They are not shown on here and I am not sure exactly where they are at. I can look into that. Zaremba: But is that in the process of considering that there may be some somewhere? I mean it is — Bledsoe: When I was last associated with the project, yes it was something that we had talked about that there was areas that you could put medians in, but I am not sure where it is at this time. McKee: Any other questions? Any other comments? I am glad we are going to be working out this intersection here at Cherry Lane and Main when we do all of this because that is just not right getting in and out of there at that full complex there. That was difficult back in 1998 when I worked there and we had an office there and that was wild. I am sure it hasn't gotten any better. Zaremba: I think that it would be wise to make the Cherry Lane, Meridian intersection be the attractive intersection. I will put it that way. It really needs to work right. If the Main, Cherry Lane intersection or Main, Fairview intersection gets a little (inaudible) up in the process that is not such a problem, it is the Meridian one that really needs to work. If there is a choice between — since they are only 400 feet a part, if there is a choice between one of them that is going to suffer a little bit, I would rather it be the Main one that suffers and make Meridian work. Bledsoe: I believe the project that is scheduled for 2012 the improvements to the Meridian, Cherry intersection so that it would function for the 2030 period. It is just the Main, Cherry intersection that is something that needs to happen. Zaremba: Well and the other element that will help at some point is what we do with the East 3rd Bledsoe: Exactly. De Weerd: Madame President, I guess as that statement was made, for the businesses on the north end of Main Street it is actually imperative that that Meridian City Council Special Joint Meeting July 7, 2008 Page 3 of 19 functions. You know certainly bluffing off the entrance into the Albertson's on Cherry Lane Plaza is not a big issue. That will help that function better, but it is up to — to allow cars to flow off of Main Street is a big issue. I think once you improve Meridian and Cherry that is going to help that area a lot better with traffic. Item 2. Update on Locust Grove / McMillan Intersection: Kemmer: I am just here to give you an update on the status on the Locust Grove, McMillan Intersection projects. So Madame President, Commissioners, Madame Mayor and Council members, thank you for the time today. We are wrapping up the concept design work. The project team evaluated two intersection options for this intersection and I can pull this up on the screen if you guys would like to see the recommended — we have a recommended intersection alignment for the McMillan, Locust Grove intersection. It consists of four lanes, each on these three, the north, south, and west intersection and on the east approach we have a five lane section. The team also looked at an additional lane on the west approach, but we decided against adding that additional lane because of the impacts to the (inaudible) canal. We would have to do realignment to the canal and bring up some other issues that we would rather not do as far as maintenance and whatnot and the future impacts that would occur. We are, like I said; ready to wrap up the concept design. We are scheduled to start design of this intersection in 2009 with right of way and then construction following in the subsequent two years and one thing we will be coming back to the City of Meridian with entering into an agreement to work through any landscaping and maintenance issues for the area between the curb and the detached sidewalk with this project. So with that, I am open for any questions that you may have. McKee: Any questions? Bivens: (Inaudible). I guess one question that I had and I have had questions to me about that is moving the ditch from the north side and is that going to be an open or a pipe ditch. Kemmer: Well, we are going to open up this project. We worked with Settler's Irrigation District and they have requested that we keep the canal open and yes, we are planning on taking the canal that currently is on the south side over here and switch it over to the north side and then have it go through Locust Grove, instead of having this diagonal structure which we currently have — the condition of the structure that is there right now is going to have to be replaced anyway and there are recommendations from (inaudible) to our construction department to have just one structure through Locust Grove. We are planning on keeping the canal open (inaudible). 0 • Meridian City Council Special Joint Meeting July 7, 2008 Page 4 of 19 Franden: But where will you have the canal cross from the south side to the north side? Kemmer: It is just a little bit to the east of the intersection. We are proposing to have it cross in this area here and currently the north slew does cross underneath the roadway at this location, so we are looking at (inaudible) or crossing it onto the roadway. De Weerd: How does it affect that commercial development going in on the northeast comer? Kemmer: With the development of Woodland Springs Subdivision, during the development of their parcel, going through the application process we made them aware of the future location of the canal. They have incorporated that into their plans as well as a future — the canal company is requesting an additional 20 feet behind the canal, so that they can maintain it in the future. So they have accommodated that into their plans and we have worked with the developer on that to make sure that is going to all fit together nicely. Zaremba: Madame Chair, on the I guess you would call them planter strips that are going to be between the roadway and the detached sidewalk, any thought of having the adjacent property owners do the maintenance on it? I would assume when you say interagency agreement, you are talking about how Meridian would maintain them, but it is possible to have the adjacent landowners? Kemmer: Yeah, and we have been working with your staff — for some of these developments that have come in, the city does work with the, I guess, the end user to maintain some of the landscaping that is out there and in chatting with and I have been working with Matt Ellsworth and that is one thing that they are looking at doing in the future end users with some of the developers here of having them maintain that property, but I know the agreements that we need to have, we have asked our legal counsel about this and the agreements that we need to have are between ACHD and the city and it will then be up to the city then working with the property owners on those kinds of issues as far as maintaining. Bird: You need one source of responsibility because you couldn't dish it out to every homeowner because every homeowner would take care of it differently. De Weerd: It is just when that would come in for development and Madame Chair can I ask Pete a question? So, Pete I guess two questions, one on the north east comer and then in our detached sidewalks. We had that noted so that when those would come in we would have (inaudible) the landscaping and that be required as part of the Development Agreement. 0 Meridian City Council Special Joint Meeting July 7, 2008 Page 5 of 19 Friedman: Thank you Madame Mayor, Madame President, Council and Commission Members. I am not that familiar of the development proposed, but I did happen to look at a site plan for another issue and what it showed was sidewalks by others and I can double check with Caleb, but I am not certain that we were able to get maintenance of the landscaping in that area in the conditions of approval. But, I can follow up on that and follow up on that project. De Weerd: Well, if you could and then also on that north east comer having that commercial development there, I don't remember that water issue as part of their application because we will have people there and that is rapid water. I would be curious as to what as far as a buffer, what we are requiring of them and if it changes their site plan at all. Friedman: I will check with Caleb on that. I don't know if they are familiar with that or not. They would probably be required of a four foot open fence adjacent to an open canal like we require in our code, but I will get back with him and then I will email the Council with those answers. De Weerd: I guess my only concern was when it was a cross street no one really (inaudible) the Idaho Power lines, but having it on that north side will add some new dynamics to that building there. Friedman: We will get those answers for you and get them to you. McKee: Anything, else? No. Okay. Item 3. Update on Community Programs: O'Connor: Madame President, Commissioners, Madame Mayor and Councilmen. We as in staff and Commission spent four work sessions on community programs during the month of April trying to revamp the program, simplify and streamline to some extent and since then staff has diligently worked to get the program together so I just wanted to give you a brief update on that. If you look at definitions we have never had a truly set definition for the program before so we established one of those for the projects to develop to expand and enhance safe, efficient and accessible pedestrian bicycle network for all residents of Ada County. We also felt that it was important to define safe routes to school, which this is taken almost verbatim off of the national definition as any projected designed and constructed with the objective of encouraging and enabling more children to safely walk and bike to school. We also felt that it was important to have defined objectives so those are to emphasize safe routes to schools, to reach out to public and respond to constituent needs to promote community and neighborhood improvement and support to optimize the use of fiscal resources, to progressively bring Ada County to ADA requirements improving the mobility for the disabled. For our structure of community programs, we basically broke it into three categories. You have your pedestrian 0 0 Meridian City Council Special Joint Meeting July 7, 2008 Page 6 of 19 projects, you have your bicycle projects and your traffic mitigation projects so a lot of the traffic calming that we use such as the bulb out speed bumps that would fall under the category of community programs. The actual prioritizations that we have set up at this point are for the pedestrian projects, we will have a bicycle project prioritization that we will put together after the adoption of the bike master plan, which should be pending in the next few months. So, if you look at our former prioritization that we had, I didn't really have this in there to try and explain this to each individual prioritization that we had, I just wanted to show you how complicated it was before. We had three different prioritizations. We had different departments handling different prioritizations and it wasn't very clear from department to department and it took me a while to get my head around it. So, essentially what we did is ran these three prioritizations that we had pretty much through a funnel and took out the most important criteria and put it in a pedestrian prioritization. As you can see from here we put emphasis on the exposure rate as an atd of the roadway and in the distance to school and pedestrian was also up there with the most important factors. Existing pet facilities, this drives okay is there a shoulder to walk along that corridor? ADA attributes essentially if there is no sidewalk there then there is nothing ADA compliant about it so that would get full points. Distance to civic facilities and transit that was also a category. A civic facilities was a relatively loose definition but we kept it to Post Office and Government buildings, demographic data is there high concentration of low income residents there or a high concentration of disabled residents? Are there other funding sources that we can look at was a big- issue as well? Other agencies support how much — and this will go out with the — sorry, the Transportation Task Force request this year and we will also ask what are the most important community programs are to each city. We will also be asking the school districts as well and geographic equity and cost benefit of the projects. So as far as the funding distribution goes for our community programs, the target of five percent was set for community programs like the capital improvements budget, which equates to be about $2 million a year if you are assuming a $40 million overall capital budget. So the next steps is we felt that one of our — one thing that needed to be addressed from our past dealings were that we needed better coordination with the schools and school districts to have a better connected system for the kids to get to school and to try and lower the need for safety bussing and things of that nature. We also updated the prioritization and bike ways will have the prioritization as I addressed earlier after the master plan is adopted and we will explore more funding opportunities and strategies and present community program changes to the cities and include community programs this year and the Transportation Task Force request processes. Are there any questions as that is the end of my presentation? De Weerd: Madame Chair, do you have any opportunity for funding support with the schools in lieu of their emergency bussing? I know that is a real added expense, but it might only be covered by the emergency aspect of it? But, it might free up some funds that they could actually help with matching dollars? I don't know. 0 0 Meridian City Council Special Joint Meeting July 7, 2008 Page 7 of 19 O'Connor: We have not explored that yet, Madame Mayor. McKee: Well, yeah, because safe routes to school is really (inaudible) because the school benefits probably financially more than we really would, you know if they don't have to bus. Bird: (Inaudible) Ustick and Linder deal, they have to bus a half a mile away. (Inaudible) be curious if they didn't do it, but at the same token the cost of fuel now a days — McKee: We should find out if there is an opportunity. Another thing we are asking the school district to do is to prioritize what their needs are. The City of Boise has done that and Sarah (inaudible) has been just tireless in their efforts and in prioritizing and as she puts it, it is very difficult. We all know that prioritize needs are difficult, but there are so many of them. If we could get the City of Meridian to support us in talking with the Meridian School District, we don't have their prioritizations yet and we don't have the ones from Kuna. Kuna is probably something that, we could work on because they are a lot smaller, but the Meridian School District is so huge, it would be really beneficial if they would do the work and I realize how much work it is, but when we do get down to the point where we are able to go forward_ that if we have their input for prioritizations would be very valuable? De Weerd: Who has the contact with the Meridian schools? McKee: I don't know. Do we have our contact or liaison with the school district? O'Connor: It used to be Eric (inaudible). McKee: I know it, but Eric — we — (Speaker unknown): We are still hiring, we have not replaced Eric, but Eric and his group are doing that right now. McKee: Okay, but with the Meridian School District, who is? (Speaker unknown): I think Wendell Bigham has been — Zaremba: Probably Wendell or somebody that works for him. McKee: If we could just let them know that Meridian Mayor and City Council support the fact that they need to authorize the work to get those prioritized and it would be a huge help for us. De Weerd: We can invite Wendell to our next Transportation Task Force. 0 • Meridian City Council Special Joint Meeting July 7, 2008 Page 8 of 19 Bird: Carol you ought to remember that excluding Kuna every city in Ada County is involved with the Meridian School District. McKee: Oh, I know that very well. It is so important to get Meridian School District involved because you take care of such a huge, huge area. There is going to be 500 needs and enough to fund maybe — you know, we need to figure out what is the most important. (Speaker unknown): Well, they are in the best position to know where their needs are and eliminate or reduce safety bussing. McKee: Well, it just makes sense for them to have the first say in it in lieu of having us trying to prioritize. We have our site plan and have been trying to go through prioritizations, but having the safe routes to school handled by the School District would be just a huge benefit. Zaremba: Madame President a couple of detail questions on the funding distribution. Approximately $2 million fund available and that is county wide, right? That is not just the City of Meridian? McKee: That was a really good try. Zaremba: Pedestrian prioritization, you have points for distance for school and that does that mean that the closer you are at school the more points it is? O'Conner: That is correct. So, essentially, in theory, if there is a direct connection to an elementary school that will be established that will receive maximum points. Zaremba: Then, I don't know whether this is possible or not, but Meridian has a community development block grant program going on that may or may not be able to — I don't see any eyes looking at me — may or may not be able to share funds with this program? De Weerd: Not this next year, but it is part of the intent. O'Connor: We also have been working with the City of Meridian for the safe routes school funding as well. Zaremba: Now, are you going to work with our staff before you bring it to the Meridian Transportation Task Force? O'Connor: I have been working with Matt Ellsworth. Zaremba: Oh, okay. On the prioritization for Meridian? J Meridian City Council Special Joint Meetinc July 7, 2008 Page 9 of 19 O'Connor: Well, prioritization and next week actually. stuff I still — well, I have a meeting with him Bivens: In fact, if my memory serves me right we have sat in on some of those (inaudible). McKee: Yeah, Matt sat in. We didn't let him talk but he sat in. Berg: We did meet on the Meridian Elementary School and try to find some safe routes, but we didn't meet with the Meridian Principal there to determine those needs, but we never did meet with the District. O'Connor: I did a walk through with the principal and Matt at the Meridian Elementary for different pedestrian connections in the area. McKee: Well, we need to start with the littler kids and meet with those principals because they know everything on the ground, but it is just going to be difficult meeting with every principal and every elementary school as there is so many of them. De Weerd: Well and that school is a good place to start as there is not many sidewalks on that part. McKee: Any other questions? No? Okay. Item 4. Update on TLIP: Goodell: Council Members and Commissioners, if you recall we were out doing staff workshops and workshops with the Council in February and our consultants took the comments from all of the cities and county and compiled all of them in revisions to our maps and level of service and typology. Those products have been coming into us and we actually received the last of them in June and they have been kind of dribbling in. We have gone through a review process and we are scheduled to come back out to do another round of workshops with your staff and then presumably up to you guys at some point, beginning the week of July 21St. We have, I think, the sort of launching of that is scheduled for the 20. What we will be doing is we will be bringing back the livable streets design guide, which has just minor changes in it at this point. The typology map, which the status of that is all your input has been taken, we looked at it and said well, there is this thought and what about that? You know, we have some questions and some more conversation that we would like to have. The variable level of service map, similar to the typology map, we have reviewed all of the recommendations from the cities and we would like to have some discussions with staff now to kind of peel away the next layer of the onion. You will get a new document, which is kind of the planning framework and it proposes the process and kind of the principles that we would approach shared planning, primarily at the Meridian City Council Special Joint Meeting July 7, 2008 Page 10 of 19 Comprehensive Plan level and kind of the sublevel planning and corridor planning, similar to what we did with South Meridian and it outlines that. That will be a new document to review and respond to and then we have also the draft cost share policy, which we are all anxious to get out and for everybody to take a look at. There will be a period of review. We will get back with all of the cities individually and talk with them in some depth to the extent that they think they are ready, they will be coming to the Councils and I imagine the cost share discussion will occur at the elective level to a substantial degree. Then all of that dialogue will probably occur in August. At the same time that all of this is going on, we have entered into a contract with COMPASS to do some review of some of the characteristics of the COMPASS model. As we went through the TLIP process our consultants identified some areas where they had some real questions or collectors. Are the functions of collectors really being captured well enough in the COMPASS model so that we can get — we are seeing the relief that we would expect to on arterials? Some issues related to speed, travel speed. Right now the way the COMPASS model works is the speeds that are posted on the roads today is what they are still showing in 2030. The model itself is really very sensitive to travel speed because really when you strip out all of the detail it is about the fastest way to get from point "A" to point "B" and so we thought and we are working with COMPASS to find a method to say okay this area is going to urbanize by them between now and then, so the travel speed should probably drop by then, which will cause rerouting of traffic and a different picture of where the traffic is going and what the capacity needs might be and where we might have long term capacities and then the other area we are looking at is the capacity of the roadways. The configuration today is relatively simple. In terms of the number of vehicles that could travel through a lane in an hour, all arterials are currently coded the same. So, Fairview and 55, Eagle are coded the same, for example, but they have very different characteristics. Fairview has a driveway every 100 feet even though we are all frustrated with Eagle Road sometimes; it actually has much better access control, preferred signal, timing and that kind of thing. So, we are going to work with them on trying to re -characterize some of those features so that we get what we know will be a little bit better representation on how the world is functioning in the future. Well, a key piece to that is the function of the state highway system and how that affects the local system. We want to understand that and especially we want to focus on that in preparation on the long range transportation plan. Anyway, not getting too far into that that piece of work between — we and COMPASS is supposed to wrap up an analysis phase by September 5t�'. Depending on the outcome we may see some changes in the model in that September, October window. We hope it will be that quick. Then we will come back and do some further analysis of the constrained corridors and the mobility corridors and when we constrain these roads where are we putting traffic and kind of what does that look like and have another set of workshops working with you and your staff to say here is what the recommendations were and here is what their implications are and try to reach and get that settled. If all of that falls into place in the timeline that I just described, next Spring we would be looking at that being ready Meridian City Council Special Joint Meeting July 7, 2008 Page 11 of 19 to do an adoption by all of us. The one real uncertainty to me at this point is when we complete that evaluation of the modeling, how much change to the modeling do we need to do? How much time will that take? Although, all of it is good because it will feed into the long range transportation plan, which is the next coming up. Any questions? Zaremba: At one time when the cost sharing was mentioned I interpreted it as being put into the framework if this plan was going forward and then the city approved something that screwed that up the city would pay the difference and that was the cost sharing. Is that the direction that it is taking now or did I pull that out of the air? Goodell: If I may, I think the better way to characterize the principles of the cost sharing is that we during the concept phase should agree on what this roadway and associated pedestrian configuration should look like and then similar to the conversation about what are we going to do as far as who is going to do the landscaping and in the long run we would enter into an agreement at that phase to say here is how we all want it to work. So then we go forward with design and right of way and acquisition and you go forward with your planning and common understanding of what it is that the project is going to look like and then the other part of that I guess is that there is sort of a basic roadway configuration and that ACHD would step up to the plate and build and acquire right of way for extra features, especially wide sidewalks and bigger buffer zones and those kinds of things. ACHD would look for participation from the city. I think those things are kind of the two key principles that underlie the draft policy and of course it will be a subject for discussion for you all beginning here shortly. McKee: I think it is really important because we really want — that we have the same vision and it does get tricky if somebody wants something and then they want to trade this for that and it gets convoluted and complicated and if we keep it simple like this then everybody should understand. Zaremba: Well and not to oppose everybody else (inaudible) that does sound fair to me and the way I would put it is if we decide we want some extra planter strips because that is the tone we want for Meridian, Eagle and Boise shouldn't have to pay for that. If Eagle decides that they want their street paved in gold, then Meridian shouldn't have to pay for that difference. McKee: Well, if one city wants something, the other cities shouldn't have to pay for it or the county. Any other questions for Sally? No? Thanks. Item 5. Update on Impact Fees: Brokaw: I will try and make this fairly brief. What you have in front of you is the report that we had Mr. John Church do for us to take a look at impact revenue for 2008 and FY09. We are getting pretty concemed about it. If you look on page 2, • 0 Meridian City Council Special Joint Meeting July 7, 2008 Page 12 of 19 you will see a nice roller coaster graph where Mr. Church graphed all of the monthly impact fee revenues going back to 2003. At the last five years you can see how it really has gone up and down. You go to page 4, that is where his revenue projection is and it will show on that particular graph on the right hand side his projection for the balance of 2008 and it came in at $12 million and he projected 2009 1 believe a little over $11 million and to put this in prospective, our original projection for 2008 was $14.5 million. For 2007 it was $18.5 million and for 2007 we revised that down to, I believe, $13 or $14 million. I believe we ended the year at $14.5 million. So we came back in 2008 and did the budget there and we pegged it at $14.5 million projection. Now, we are in 2008 and we have had to reduce that projection down to $12.5 million, so we have to essentially defer $2 million out of this year's budget and some of that was in projects. What we were able to do to kind of soften the blow is getting very, very good bids on our projects and so a good portion of that was absorbed by, I believe, two or three different projects and we have had enough savings on those from the engineers estimates to the actual bids that we were able to absorb some of that. Now what all of this means, I guess, one quick other item too for 2008 right now through the end of June we have collected $9 million. Last year at this time we were at $11 million. So, we are showing a $2 million reduction and according to Mr. Church's study also he is predicting a slow down in commercial site plans, where what is happening we have had a significant slow down and residential and the building permits there and of course on impact fees, but commercial has been holding things up for about 8 to 10 months. His projection is that won't continue to happen. Unfortunately, in June it proved him right. In June last year we collected over $2 million, one of our biggest months ever and this year it was $800,000; so that is like a screeching halt. In order to hit the $12.5 million for this year, we have to collect over a million dollars per month in July, August and September and things are not looking real sharply. It is just very, very slow out there. The impact that all of this has, of course, is impact fees are collected for expansion type projects which are in the capital portion of the budget and we are in the process of putting together in 2009 and 2010 budget we do have a two year budget cycle year and right now we are projecting $12 million for 2009 and $13 million for 2010. Now, the projections when we did the current five year work program, were $3 million higher, so they were $15 and $15.5 million respectively and so what that means is there is going to be an impact in the five year plan and the time schedules you have seen before is just that things are slowing down and one other kind of negative note is that we have also seen a significant increase in the consumption of fuel. People are beginning to make some choices. Right now the projection is that you will probably see a five percent decrease and (inaudible) distribution and typically we receive $5 million per quarter on that projection. So, there is a quarter of a million dollars right there and we will have to see how that comes in. With that good news, I will sit down unless you have any comments or questions of me. Franden: What is happening with Meridian's building permits? • 0 Meridian City Council Special Joint Meeting July 7, 2008 Page 13 of 19 Bird: We had in the month of June, we had 43 new residential, we had17 commercial. We had $16 million in commercial and $10 million in residential. I just got that today, but 43 for the month of June in residential is horrible. If the trend continues and I think it is going to get worse; I don't think we have hit bottom yet, myself. If the trend continues we will not have as many new residential permits this year as we had in the months of March and April in 2006. We will be lucky to have 500 for the whole year. I don't think — now commercial has kept Meridian up and we are very fortunate that we still have some good commercial projects, but I am told some developers and in fact I know (inaudible) office buildings and shut them down (inaudible). So, I think we are in for another — and the election in November is going to determine a lot of that. It is not good. (Inaudible). The revenue isn't what the expenditures are. Fuel costs — you guys know what it is like, you have got a big freight out there. Our Police and Fire and Parks it is all (inaudible). Brokaw: Mr. Church makes one statement in his report that he doesn't expect the impact fees to come back up to the 2007 levels until 2010. Bird: I disagree with him. I think we are in for the late 70's, early 80's and didn't get back to full board until about '85. Took Meridian about four years before the economy turned around. I know out in the construction world those five or six years were pretty slim pickings. We are very fortunate, we don't get hit as hard here as the big cities do, but I tell you what it is tough especially when you are behind to start with and the growth for ten years — Huber: It would be nice to have the money now and jump in and — Bird: -- and do it. That is something that I don't get in the city. Right now we need to promote Meridian because this is the time when people are out aggressively looking for when the economy picks up and so now is the time when everything is cheaper and stuff like that to promote your city or whatever you are promoting. So, I don't think the slow down has really been a bad thing. I think it has helped some of us (inaudible) and get a breath of fresh air before the water flows over our heads. I don't think we will ever see the building the way we seen from '94 to '07 in Meridian. (Inaudible discussion) Zaremba: Even to use impact fees there has to be a match. Some of it comes from the registration fee and some of it comes just out of your general fund. As the maintenance portion of the budget gets more and more expensive, are you still able to keep the balance between the maintenance and the building part or is maintenance eating up any magic funds as well? Brokaw: I said this a few years ago. It is going to be a very good challenge to keep the mix that we have today. Simply because impact fees are dedicated to 0 • Meridian City Council Special Joint Meeting July 7, 2008 Page 14 of 19 just that one side of the equation, not the maintenance stuff. I guess what I predicted all along was once the road system gets bigger and bigger, built out more and more, more resources allocated to the (inaudible). With what has happened here we are there next year. It is a struggle right now to try and get it to a 50 / 50 split and I think 2010 if things don't come back real strongly then we are going to be faced — the Commission at least will be faced with either to reduce some levels of service on maintenance side or we will begin to see a budget that is over 50 percent maintenance and less than 50 percent of capital budgets. It is going to be a tough decision. Bird: On your maintenance have you guys ever looked into which is the best way to do it? Outsource or in house? Because you cant' a lot of overhead in house and with the prices and the construction world as it is today — Brokaw: Over the years we have seen studies from other areas and have heard some horror stories in some areas. I think there are certain services the Highway District provides, just don't limit themselves, i.e., snow related costs where you get the phone call and it is time to go, you put the sanders on and you go. That was proven not to be too well served by the contract, whereas maybe street - sweeping or a portion of that, there are some possibilities there. Functions that I think we can, maybe in the future take a more serious look at those. (Inaudible). But, we do hire a lot of contractors to do smaller type things, for example, hired some here recently to do pathway corridors. We have hired some to do drainage work for us also. It just depends on the size of the work. We try not to do things (inaudible), so if it approaches that $100,000 level then we try to contract that out because we are just not quite willing to take on something that big. Bivens: I see some of the larger entities, like the City of Utah has gone to four ten hour days and some of the divisions, like Boise City (inaudible) and have you given any thoughts as to what that finds? In other words (inaudible) back and forth a little bit, but would it help the folks that drive in a little ways (inaudible) their trips if you will, what would that do to us? Brokaw: All of my maintenance forces and I believe Bruce's people have been on four tens — Bivens: I don't think the state — Huber: Yeah. Brokaw: Well they try to get there right at dusk, in the winter months. Bird: (Inaudible). Brokaw: Well they have got different crews at different hours. For example, -- • 0 Meridian City Council Special Joint Meeting July 7, 2008 Page 15 of 19 (Inaudible discussion) De Weerd: Madame Chair. McKee: Yes. De Weerd: I guess this is maybe a philosophical question, but Nampa has been very successful, their taxpayers has recognized how important road projects are and have passed bonds to do certain projects. ACHD hasn't really gone out and pursued that avenue. If you start seeing shortfalls in your impact fees, will that be another approach to look at and consider? McKee: We talk about everything, actually. Huber: We did have a conversation a while back when this hit that possibly on the larger projects we were going to have to look at a different way of funding it and larger wasn't defined as far as what dollar amount, but I know we talked about it and it's been maybe even a year ago that just what you are saying that on larger projects it was obvious because it just kills us when there is one big project going on. It really does with the budget and the conversation came up in that context more than what is going on now because as we see that there are larger projects scheduled throughout the CIP to look at a different way for the funding. But, remember when you go out for bonds there is a really expensive bond cost and price that goes with it. If you could just pass a bond and not go through what you have to go through, which you can't. I mean what does the bond cost Mike? It was high. Brokaw: It has been a while since we — I am not sure what it is. The main obstacle there I guess is the Highway District is not able to issue general obligation bonds like a city is. So we have to have a revenue source that is dedicated towards paying that off and that cannot be property taxes for the Highway District. So many, many, years ago in 1991 when we did issue some bonds we used some registration fees as the dedicated revenue source. Huber: Now you know why your registration fees are really important. Bird: Impact fees can't pay back bonds. Huber: No. Bird: That can't be a — Brokaw: There may be a way to do that, but I am not sure at this point. Bird: I mean you are taking away from your capital improvements there. 0 0 Meridian City Council Special Joint Meeting July 7, 2008 Page 16 of 19 Brokaw: I would imagine our financial markets would pay dearly for the ups and downs as it is not a consistent — Bird: I think Nampa was not through their street highway districts, they were actual bonds through the city, weren't they? They did it like a city (inaudible). Huber: That is why the registration fees are so critical on what that amount is because that is our bonding capacity and chose to do that. It is limited by the amount of the registration fees. What does it cost you, $20 bucks? McKee: Well, it might be less than that. Huber: Yeah, the maximum is $20. Item 6. Renewal of Vehicle Registration Fees: McKee: Okay, after that wonderful lovely news that just leads me into telling you exactly how important it is for vehicle registration fees be passed this November, I want to thank the City of Meridian for being supportive and David Zaremba being at each one of our meetings and it is actually moving along quite nicely. We have 40 of the most creative, intelligent people on the Board and very enthusiastic about getting this passed, but we found out that it was a little cumbersome, a little large, maybe if you compare it to the COMPASS Board. So we decided to make up an executive committee, maybe ten people on it and everybody is represented and we are going to meet for the first time at noon on the 11th of this month and then again on the 18th of this month to direct the main committee and where they need to go and that meeting is going to be on the 21St of this month. They are running a second poll and those polling numbers seem to be holding close to the one we ran back in October 2006. We have got the majority of that poll already funded from an outside source and so we are hoping by that 21St meeting we will have those final numbers for everybody. But, it seems like with this poll that raising the fees up to the $40 for a new car, along with renewing the registration fees is getting us a little over a 50 percent mark, which is where we need to be. There is still a definite cutoff at going up to $50. We have got 42 percent of the people that are willing to do that, so somewhere between 40 and 50 we are losing some folks. We almost have all the ballot language, about 90 percent of that is complete; we just need some more tweaking to do. That ballot language has to be before the Commission for approval and then to the county by the 6t' of August in order for us to get it onto the ballot and so far we are the only people coming to the constituents asking for money. So, Fred Tilman is keeping on eye on that to see if anybody else weighs in, but hopefully it will be really great for us to be the only one on the ballot asking for money. So that is where we are and again, thanks to David and thanks to you Madame Mayor for your support. It has been very helpful and of course all the people at the Board when they sit around are just expecting everybody's support, but it is nice to have it as well. Does anybody have any questions? 9 0 Meridian City Council Special Joint Meeting July 7, 2008 Page 17 of 19 De Weerd: No, just that we support you and thank you to David. Zaremba: If the committee decided that it would be nice to have all of the Mayor's in the cities stand in a line in front of the television and say yes we support this and I have said you would be willing. De Weerd: And I have said that as well. McKee: Tammy thank you because that is — the public outreach, that was one of the first things that we came up is they don't want the ACHD Commissioner's up there in front of the camera, they would like all of the Mayors. So, I immediately said Tammy will do it. She will do it. (Speaker unknown): It is your huge financial commitment that we really appreciate. Zaremba: That will come up Wednesday in the budget. The executive committee on the 11th and the 18th and full committee on the 21St McKee: The 21 St is at 5:30 and the other two are lunch meetings here. Item 7. Other (Time Permitting): Mills: This is a list of the projects that we have under contract this summer. About $44 million a little less; last year we had about $57 million in contracts. McKee: And everybody complained about the traffic because of all of the construction last year. Mills: In the Meridian area we have about three different developer projects that we are working on — the McMillan Linder intersection is just (inaudible). So we will have both signals on that one and a signal up by the new high school operational and we are starting on the McMillan Ten Mile intersection and punching plans through (inaudible). I just wanted to give you that list to see what is going on. Questions? McKee: Any questions? Anything else? Anybody else have anything else that I didn't know about? Bird: I want to thank as a Councilman I want to thank — well Christy now, but it started with Bruce for being at our Council meetings. It is the biggest help that we have ever had. We have had one particular application here recently that Christy has come back with information for us that has certainly helped this Councilman with traffic and stuff. I appreciate what you guys do and how you work with us and have a person there and always first class and professional. 0 0 Meridian City Council Special Joint Meeting July 7, 2008 Page 18 of 19 McKee: We appreciate them, too, because they come back and they give us a report. So we Commissioners get a report of everything you guys do. A written report. Huber: We know if you say anything bad — Bird: Remind Christy next time you are testifying — McKee: We all read them. We read those reports because it keeps us up to date on everything and it is kind of a relatively new thing for us — it really helps US. Bird: It helps so much for her — well Bruce and Gary too when they were there to come up and testify and give us the actual facts and figures when the developers are trying pull the wool over our eyes. De Weerd: I guess I do have a question about extraordinary impact fees on particular projects. How is that determined if that district or that area qualifies and what is the timing on that? Inselman: We would have to go through a process of the Commission to establish that it is creating an impact and then we would require a traffic study to determine the area that should be included, the qualifying improvements and create through resolution — De Weerd: So that sort of process would take how long? Inselman: About six months or so once you get started. We wouldn't really start until the development is through all of its approvals and make sure it has actually occurred and start the process and work with the city on the development of the full areas and assess the costs to the remaining properties in the area. De Weerd: I guess the reason I ask is in this particular area it is going to be connecting kind of a dead end large housing area to an arterial. It is off of Linder and will connect, actually to Meridian at Waltman and so it is going to give those residences an avenue out and it has a heavy impact on the development that will be connecting it. So, extraordinary impact fees have been mentioned and I think that would be a good district to really look at. It is actually not only created by this one project, it is created because that connection has never existed and they have one only way out. Inselman: If I might, this is very similar to the magic area. We have a district there that is paying for the (inaudible) same as Magic View and that is how that was funded and we are still paying that off.

The major impact is on the southwest corner of Cherry and Meridian Road, requiring acquisition of the bike shop. Traffic signals are still planned for both intersections. • Consultant is attempting to hold all eastern property lines while impacting the western properties because there is more area and thus flexibility in the properties to the west. • For the Cherry and Main Street Intersection, the dedicated right turn eastbound onto Cherry is proposed to be removed. • Additional analysis for the Albertsons Plaza requested by the City has begun. Community Programs (Andrew O'Conner) Staff will provide an overview of the outcomes of the April ACHD Commission work sessions on Community Programs, including • Definition and objectives of Community Programs • Types of projects to be included in Community Programs • Community Programs will be organized into 3 parts: pedestrian projects, bicycle projects and traffic mitigation • ACHD has developed a new Pedestrian Project Prioritization • Status of application projects — no new application projects for 2009, reconsider in 2010. Purpose is to catch up with backlog of projects. • The Commission set a target of approximately 5% of the FYWP capital budget • Projects previously programmed for 2009 and 2010 were retained in their program years • Brief discussion of next steps TLIP (Sally Goodell) 7/7/2008 ,;VI 0 0 Page 2 of 2 • ACHD has received all the deliverables from the consultant and is preparing the next round of products to distribute to the local governments • Meetings will be scheduled the week of July 21St to distribute TLIP products for next round of review.

Meridian City Council Joint Meeting October 6, 2008 The Meridian City Council special / joint meeting was called to order at 12:00 P.M. on Monday, October 6, 2008 by Mayor Tammy de Weerd at the ACHD Auditorium, Garden City, Idaho. Members Present: Mayor Tammy de Weerd, David Zaremba, Brad Hoaglun, Charlie Rountree. Members Absent: Keith Bird. ACHD Members Present: Carol McKee, David Bivens, Rebecca Arnold, Sherry Huber. ACHD Members Absent: John Franden. McKee: Ladies and Gentlemen we are going to start our joint meeting with the City of Meridian and the ACHD. These meetings typically are a work meeting for the City of Meridian and for the ACHD and today the only comments I am going to be taking from the audience are from the City of Meridian and the ACHD staff. With that we are going to turn it over to Adam. Thank you very much and we are going to talk about the split corridor. Item 1. Discussion — Split Corridor Phase 2: Zaragoza: Good afternoon, Madame President, Commissioners, Madame Mayor and Council Members. Adam Zaragoza, Project Manager for ACHD. I am going to cover the design for a split corridor as well as some information that we got from the public open house. Just kind of an overview of where we are at. Preliminary design is scheduled to be completed this winter (inaudible) traffic studies — we have another public involvement meeting coming up the first of the year. All of our environmental reports will be in. The (inaudible) design will be complete next summer, 2009. We will have the roadway cross section update construction (inaudible) and the right of way plans. Right of way we will go into FY2010 and 2011 and construction is still on schedule for the fall. The Main and Fairview intersection — we received a letter from Madame Mayor back in April of this year looked at those alignments and this is the current configuration that we are going to prefer at this point. With this intersection configuration, we leave access for businesses open to the Cherry Lane Plaza and we minimize the right of way costs. The west bound left tum on Main Street is still here. The west bound vehicles still cuing at Main Street from Meridian Road during the peak hour and the operation of the intersection itself still operates like it is currently configured. However, in 2020 to 2025 somewhere in there with the peak hour analysis with the Fairview Avenue, assuming the straight line increase in vehicles, the intersection operates at level service D. The east bound Fairview Avenue operates at level service F; the same for west bound and we still have Meridian City Council Joint Meeting / Workshop October 6, 2008 Page 3 of 19 De Weerd: That as long as you have the right and left tum lane off of Main Street. McKee: Is there any other comments? Okay. Zaragoza: Now just a high level of where we are at right now with the cross over concept. As you look at the screen here on the left side of the screen is Franklin Road and on the right side of the screen is the railroad tracks and this is the current proposed alignment for cross over. You have two lanes of traffic going north bound through the cross over and three lanes of traffic going south bound. Again, this is for the Downtown Meridian Transportation Management Plan that was adopted in 2005 as sponsored by the city and it was to revitalize the center community of (inaudible) center by the major commercial hub of the Treasure Valley. On September 11 th of this year, we had an open house with a 127 attendees, comment period ended September 24th. That comment period being a total of 35 comments via forms at the open house or via email. The most common concerns I have listed here of the ratio percentage of the 35 comments or excuse me 35 comments was the business impacts on Main Street and that is 51 percent of the 35. 1 considered one way couplet verses the cross over that was 40 percent. There was concern of the five lane traffic near the residences and the school at 31 percent. Pedestrian features was called out for at 20 percent and a little kudos here for our staff as we report for public involvement at 11 percent. I had to throw that in there. We received the petition — unofficial account — where we sit at right now is 755 signatures and the signatures for the one way couplet verses the cross over. McKee: Any comments? Okay, Matt come on up. Ellsworth: Madame President, Madame Mayor, Council and Commissioners, ACHD's staff gave our staff a heads up about this petition and when they received it. Immediately following that the public information meeting on September 11th, so I just wanted to take a second to provide staffs preliminary responses to that petition and brush up on a couple of high points from the DNTMP process back in 2004 and 2005. One point that I just wanted to underscore here briefly and this is in reading an excerpt from the DNTMP and that is the universal (inaudible) for this process based on the history; the history surrounding it was going to be tough from the outset and that is something that is addressed specifically in the DNTMP. One of the ways they term this is there is one transportation improvement priority in Meridian that has got the unanimous support and that is that the current system must be changed. Drop planning process (inaudible--) adequately. Nearly a decade however, the community has debated what system improvements would be appropriate. The debate has been heavy and often emotional. All parties also appear to agree on one other issue — (inaudible) systematic changes adopted and some people will be unhappy. So that to me was a fairly strong acknowledgement in the introduction in the DNTMP Meridian City Council Joint Meeting / Workshop October 6, 2008 Page 5 of 19 consultant had worked with many similar downtowns before working with ours; you want to target about 8,000 vehicles that want to be there, not 20,000 vehicles that want to be passing through and have no intention of being customers in the first place. The problem when you get to 20,000 or 25,000 vehicles passing through is that it scares those of us that would be customers away. So, it isn't that you still have 8,000 potential customers and all of this extra traffic, you end up only having thru traffic and their target was that we should aim for having about 8,000 vehicles. 12,000 would still be okay, but when you get over that you are starting to have the thru traffic again. The issue was what do you do with it If you did the one way couplet? What ended up being the great expense with the one way couplet is how to solve it at the north end. It didn't meet the criteria of making downtown a pedestrian friendly place, but it also had the added problem of how do you uncouple it when you get to the north end? And the choices were to take out the Albertson's and have traffic continue beyond Fairview and take out the Albertson's or to have the cross over be just south of Fairview, which would mean taking out probably the five or six businesses that are just south of Fairview in order to make the cross over to Meridian. What became known as the split corridor — move that cross over down below the railroad tracks that ended up solving almost all of the criteria that the committee had put together. Actually as I recall it ended up being cheaper than the one way couplet. But, it did solve the problem of not having all the thru traffic being focused on Main Street so that we could, some day meet our vision of having downtown being a pedestrian friendly welcoming place that people actually went to as a destination as opposed to just through. Like I say that is summarizing hours and hours of work, but that was how we got to where we were and that was the recommendation that was made to. the public hearings in Meridian and thereafter passing onto ACHD. Again, there was participation by a lot of people. ACHD was part of it, Meridian was part of it and one of the drawbacks is, I suppose, there is no perfect solution but we picked what we thought was the best solution and the public has supported that. McKee: Okay. Is there any other comments or questions? No? Well, thank you both. I appreciate it. Item 2. Discussion — Ustick / Linder Intersection Project: McKee: Lisa, are you ready? Applebee: I have hand outs here and displays that I am going to show you. De Weerd: Madame Chair, my manners have been very poor. I would like to introduce you to our new Council Member, Brad Hoaglun. He officially joined us in September; the second week in September and he is a long time Meridian resident and he has had a lot of various experience that he is bringing to the Council and we are just thrilled to have him here. Meridian City Council Joint Meeting / Workshop October 6, 2008 Page 7 of 19 Option three is to wait, build the full intersection next summer and fall and we would not have any of the interim construction costs. At our commission meeting when we presented it to the commissioners, they suggested they were leaning toward option three and I think that is where they would like to start the discussion. McKee: Any questions for Lisa? Huber: There was one thing — I know a question that we asked — we did a count of the pedestrian use. Could you give us that, please? Applebee: Yes. We did a count at peak school hours. So first a.m. peak was 6:50 to 7:55 a.m. We have full pedestrians traveling west to north. (Inaudible). In the afternoon, the peak was 2:30 to 3:40 for a total of eight pedestrians in place. One pedestrian was west to east. One bike north to south, four peds north to south and two pedestrians north to west and then after football practice we had five total pedestrians and bikes and one pedestrian north south, one north west, one bike east to west, one west to south and one pedestrian south to north. So there is not a significant (inaudible) traffic from our head counts, including south north on there. Zaremba: Madame President, I would factor into that that I believe the School District is doing short distance bussing just so that pedestrians are not required to walk across this intersection. That is a tremendous expense for the School District for a half a mile a trip that they normally wouldn't do if the intersection were safe for pedestrians and you know it isn't costing the City of Meridian, but it is definitely costing the School District. McKee: Right. We have talked about safety bussing and do you guys know how many children are safety bussed because of this situation? Zaremba: I don't know the answer to that. Arnold: To do a cost analysis we need to know that because are they spending more than $115,000 to buss on Diesel? My guess is no, but I mean we need to know that. McKee: But we still have the issue of taking care of children after sporting events which is going on all over the county. We (inaudible) safety bussing for those kids. De Weerd: Madame Chair. I guess one of the goals is to try and reduce the number of trips on the roads. It is a real congested intersection with a large volume of traffic that travels through that and I would imagine that a certain percentage of that is due to parents driving their kids short distances because kids refuse to ride the bus and that sort of thing. Also, it is the after school Meridian City Council Joint Meeting / Workshop October 6, 2008 Page 9 of 19 Huber: But, didn't we have discussion too and nobody knew about crossing guards — if the school was and maybe they are not because of the safety bussing? But that also could potentially be an interim solution if there is a concern of having appropriately timed — I know junior high kids probably don't like that and that is primarily who uses that — didn't we decide that that was what the age group was? De Weerd: Yes, and the shoulder is so narrow — McKee: I think that is the problem. There is no place for them to walk to get to the intersection, so you could have a crossing guard. That is the issue. De Weerd: And all of the water rights prove a challenge as well. Zaremba: Madame President, do we have any news from the Army Core of Engineer that is taking an interest in this intersection? De Weerd: That is the good news, right? The good news is you can take a picture of the historical irrigation wall and call it good. McKee: Well, that is good news, right? We have gotten our Polaroid out there, right? Huber: That is critical for even thinking about moving it. (Speaker unknown): If I may, Madame President, we have (inaudible). We do have to do (inaudible) wetlands (inaudible) report for the (inaudible) full build out of the intersection and with these interim projects we don't have to have a (inaudible) permit. That was part of the purpose of our meeting out there. McKee: Okay, but we are going forward with the Army Core of Engineers and it seems like everything is moving along. De Weerd: Madame Chair, if I could get the information for option three, the cost of moving the project up and what that would mean in time schedule so that I can share that with the neighbors and certainly, I would invite anyone of you to join us, since I will be telling your story. McKee: Does that sound good? Okay, you need to give us the date of that meeting and we will make sure that there is somebody from the district there. (Speaker unknown): Madame President, I plan on attending that meeting, so I will be there. McKee: Okay, great. Perfect. With pictures. Pictures are good. Okay, thank you Lisa. Meridian City Council Joint Meeting / Workshop October 6, 2008 Page 11 of 19 measures from there that — based on all things considered and the funding situation there may be some additional barriers that could present themselves down the road and again Gary is here and I imagine he can answer the specific questions you may have. He is a lot more familiar with the CIP than I am, but with that I suppose I just wanted to give that brief introduction and tum it over to the Commission and Council to engage in for discussion about possible next steps with the 3rd Street extension alignment study. McKee: Okay, any comments? Huber: Well, what happens if we don't get a selected preference? I mean we kind of get in a circle of nobody has any money. I am just asking. I don't know. De Weerd: I guess the discussion at our City Council meeting was one a desire by Council to have the middle alignment and two to work with ACHD in designating that a minor arterial so it would be impact fee eligible so that development can pay for the cost of that growth. Arnold: But, I guess the next question is when you talk about — and Gary is going to have to — talk about getting it into the CIP is where does it hit with regard to priorities and getting into the CIP isn't always the easiest thing and I don't know on this. So we need to get Gary. McKee: Gary is coming forth. De Weerd: I would say that our Transportation Task Force does list this as a priority. I believe it is in the top 12. It is number 12 on our priority list. Inselman: Madame President, the discussion I had with Meridian staff was first of all the Council suggesting to try and get it classified minor arterial. That is a COMPASS decision; not an ACHD one. Even if it were classified minor arterial, there is no guarantee that it would ever get included in our capital improvements plan, it has to show a need or it has to be an enhancement, which means it needs to show the projected traffic volumes on that roadway would require not only an extension of the roadway through (inaudible) existing roadway. The discussion was at City Council an improvement from Fairview to Franklin, not simply an extension of Td from Carlton to Fairview. If that hurdle were cleared and it did make it into our capital improvement plan, as you are all aware we do have a number of projects that are capital improvements plan and it is currently listed with no construction dollars because we don't have enough money to fund all of the improvements and the current update that we are looking at, we may have to drop some projects entirely. We have over a billion dollars of roadway projects that include capital improvements plan over the next 20 years and we cannot fund all of them. So, then it would become a matter of prioritization on which ones allow the plan completely or listed as funded which ones are simply listed for preservation and which projects were included for full funding. A three Meridian City Council Joint Meeting / Workshop October 6, 2008 Page 13 of 19 Huber: Excuse me, just for my own education. They will make the request and so what is the — have we looked at the potential maximum volume for minor arterial? That if it got designated does it meet that criteria would be my question? Inselman: Commissioner Huber our discussion with Matt was and I believe COMPASS will look at it more as a function not volumes. Huber: Not volumes? Okay. Inselman: And there was some discussion with Matt that the city may look at wanting to down grade Main (inaudible) three plus by a third (inaudible) during that function. (Inaudible). De Weerd: Madame Chair, we are trying to look at options for the duplex section. I can't say that there is any solution yet, but we will continue to look under rocks and challenge staffs' creativity and imagination. McKee: I would start that process of asking COMPASS to help us out. Who does that? Bivens: Madame President, I think that most everyone remembers this E. 3rd has been a choice for an alternate route around, I guess, around the business area or to accommodate some of the traffic to cut through that goes through. To me, I have to agree with Commissioner Huber. I think the first thing that we need to do is identify that location as a future corridor because as business grows and your new City Hall becomes active, you are going to need another cut through or access for people that are not necessarily interested in going downtown and like delivery trucks and this type of thing. To me I think it is going to — and I don't know how to calculate what the potential traffic would be through there, but I think it is going to be greater than what we had expected because of that opportunity that has been there and the one thing that it does have it has a railroad crossing, which is critical in my estimates. Huber: And, too, Madame Mayor I want to be clear in my understanding and somebody can correct me on staff is you talk about getting it in the Five Year Work Plan. Right now without funding that is probably not realistic and I want to be honest with you. De Weerd: Yeah. Huber: Well, just so you know that from our perspective, there is probably a long time range for that and I know you want it sooner and we would like to have it sooner, but I don't want to leave anybody with the impression, knowing our funding situation — Meridian City Council Joint Meeting / Workshop October 6, 2008 Page 15 of 19 Huber: I think the sooner we get it to COMPASS the better and I am probably over thinking this right now, but if you down grade Main and upgrade third, the timing of when those two happen are pretty important. So can you upgrade one and then wait several years to down grade the other? Which you probably can't. Do you see what I am saying? There is a timing issue that you couldn't do them at the same time because you don't have 3`d built. Zaremba: Yeah, it isn't there. McKee: Well, we will turn that issue over to the COMPASS people. We will delegate that right over to COMPASS. De Weerd: Well, certainly I think it dictates further evaluation of downgrading one and upgrading the other and I don't know if that was part of the 3� Street alignment, but if our staffs could work together on what all of that means would be good. McKee: So we can work on moving that forward? Okay. Bivens: I think one other point and (inaudible) but I think a connection from whatever route was chosen there to Main Street could have a great deal help or negative impact on the connection of Main and Fairview. So, that was the problem with the whole one way couplet that was talked about 20 years ago or roughly that. The main problem was there was no connection between the two. McKee: Okay, so the ACHD needs to make sure that we get option two for the Td Street alignment on our agenda and we can get that formally adopted and then move it on down to COMPASS. Okay, is there anything else on 3rd Street? Huber: Well, the only thing is when we adopt it — so for anyone in the audience that may be interested there is an opportunity at that time for public comment in the event there is something that we all haven't seen that the public has. McKee: Yes, definitely. Okay anything else about 3`d Street? We have some extra time. Item 4. Other (time permitting) De Weerd: Madame President if I — I have just a comment on ACHD's new way of processing vacation applications. Our staff has found it challenging to review this as to why there is a need for the vacation of the right of way and what actually is being vacated. So, we have found that it has caused some consternation with our staff. Huber: What is the issue? Meridian City Council Joint Meeting / Workshop October 6, 2008 Page 17 of 19 De Weerd: What time is this supposed to be over? McKee: Anytime the Mayor and the President says it's over. We have some time. De Weerd: I would just ask if — I know it is not normal protocol to invite a member of the public to comment, but if you did receive a petition of a number of names if the petitioner would like to make a few remarks? McKee: That will be fine. Do we have the petitioner here with us? And give your name and your address too, please, so we can have that for the record. Forsberg: I am John Forsberg owner of Main Street Burger and Stake and Ale House. I have been working with this problem for — well, since I started the two businesses and this is owners on both Main Street and Meridian all have signed a petition that you guys have seen, all but maybe five businesses total that agree that it should not be a split corridor. It should be a one way couplet. The cost is cheaper to do it. The traffic flow is better at the north end with these one way couplets. The traffic studies clearly show that. The only thing that is really keeping this from happening is the city's desire to make it a pedestrian friendly area and I don't see any reason why it couldn't be a pedestrian friendly area from Main Street over to E. 3rd Street, rather than from Meridian Street over to E. 3rd Street. It still opens the whole area up and provides for better traffic for now. It helps the businesses that are on Main Street. It doesn't destroy them, which is what we are all worried about. There is not a single business owner that I spoke to out of all of the business owners, I spoke to over 80 people and not one of those people were thinking that the split corridor was going to be a good idea for them. So, I can't think that doing the split corridor or moving forward with it is a good idea. The general public is not behind the split corridor. There is more names on the petition than attended all of the public meetings combined. I provided all of the information to everybody. I gave them the original study for anybody to read it that wanted to. The consensus is against the split corridor and for the one way couplet. So, I don't know what could possibly be said that could be more direct than that. McKee: Do we have any questions? Huber: I have a question for staff. Could somebody from staff clarify the costs on the two because there seems to be some differing opinions and I don't remember. Forsberg: The original couplet according to their study was $8,095,000. The split corridor was $11,588,000, so clearly $3.5 million cheaper to do the one way couplet than the split corridor. If you would like to see that it is page 58 of your guys' plan, if anybody cares to read it or — Meridian City Council Joint Meeting / Workshop October 6, 2008 Page 19 of 19 corridor intersection at Fairview Cherry Meridian Road actually got a D rating and it is two tenths of a point off of it being an E rating and all the other intersections were in pretty good shape, whereas the one way couplet there was nothing on the one way couplet that went under a C rating. So just from the very start leaving that intersection basically as it is, a few little changes of (inaudible) and such that they are showing on a current plan, you could make that intersection rate a C level from day one. Whereas the split corridor was coming close to failing from the very day that you opened it up. McKee: Okay, thank you very much. Okay, I am going to have to call this meeting to a close. I certainly thank you all very much. It was lovely to meet you Brad, and now you are one of the troops so when you come in you are just going to be one of the gang. MEETING ADJOURNED AT 1:30 P.M.
