The Meridian City Pre-Council meeting was called to order at 6:30 P.M. on
Tuesday, May 8, 2007 by President Councilman Joe Borton.
Members Present: Mayor Tammy de Weerd, Keith Bird, David Zaremba, Charlie
Rountree and Joe Borton.
Staff Present: Bill Nary and Will Berg.
Item 1. Roll-call Attendance:
Roll call.
X David Zaremba

Mayor Tammy de Weerd
Item 2. Adoption of the Agenda:
Zaremba: Mr. President I move we adopt the agenda as posted.
Rountree: Second.
Borton: It has been moved and seconded to adopt the agenda as published. All
those in favor say aye.
ALL AYES. MOTION CARRIED.
Item 3. Update of City Hall Building Progect by LCA Architects and
Petra, Inc.:
Borton: I believe LCA and Steve are going to start and Wes, I think you have got
information as well. Steve is up first.
Simmons: Thank you President Gorton, Mayor, Members of the Council Steve
Simmons at Lombard Conrad Architects, 1221 Shoreline Lane, Boise. Just a few
things to update you with architecturally and primarily most of that stems around
the decision to go ahead and we are going to move the building up four feet to
get out of the water issue and we think it will make a lot better project in the long
run anyway. What I have given you are some elevations -you all of the ones
that were discussed at the Monday Mayor's meeting and on top of that is
Concept 3B, which is the preferred solution. The rest are there just for your
general perusing if you wish or if you care to ask questions, certainly we can
answer those as well. On the larger boards are the original concept on the right,
which is the building as originally designed and Concept 36 is basically raising
this building up four feet and then transitioning up to concrete foundation wall -
• •
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
May 8, 2007
Page 2 of 11
you can see it best it is illustrated on the east or excuse me the north and south
two story wings. There is a deletion of some of the rusticated stone work and
replace that with brick down below the windows and then on down to the
foundation line, which actually will create some cost savings we feel as well
because the brick material is about $10 to $15 a square foot less money than the
stone anyway. The preferred solution was 3B if you will. So most of that as you
can see on the front elevation, which is the entrance to the City Hall. On the east
side there really is not a lot of difference there because we are raising that up -
all the ramps and stairs are the same. It is primarily evident on the two story
wings on the north and south ends as you can see there as well. So the only
impact at all is of course by raising it four feet we will extend the foundations a
couple of feet on the two story wings because those did not have a basement in
those. So, we will have to go ahead and adjust the rebar submittals, which are
currently in the structural engineers hands and work with Petra to look at any
cost association with the extent of the concrete foundation two feet. With that
then they can update us on costs when those become apparent. Any questions
on that? We continue to work on the tenant improvement drawings to meet our
deadline, which is a couple of weeks coming up very fast, so we asked for no
more changes so we can get that done. We will let Wes and Gene answer
questions regarding the construction and the schedule.
De Weerd..: Mr. President.
Borton: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: I guess just a point to add is the cost is less by using the brick and
there is less conflict with having several different types of materials around the
windows and so by keeping the brick and then having some kind of -you were
going to have some kind of a pattern in the concrete, so it wasn't so obvious?
Simmons: Right now we are illustrating horizontal reveals to help break up that.
We may even look at a sample of light sandblasting on that foundation wall as
well to give that kind of a solid concrete base. So it makes a lot of sense that
way and it looks very nice. If your eyes are better than mine, you can see those
on the small drawings that I have given you, but these larger ones are for your
use as well.
De Weerd.: Follow up, Mr. President.
Borton: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: I guess, Steve, if you can also talk then on the street side to Meridian
Road is there any further information on if we are going to do a raised planter
type of treatment to help buffer that?
•
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting

Simmons: Absolutely. President Borton, Madame Mayor and' Members of the
Council what the Mayor is referring to is on the Meridian side there was
discussions that our landscapes architect had brought up looking at perhaps to
doing a four foot block or a retaining wall along Meridian to help soften some of
that. So there would be an opportunity to go up to a four foot planter that goes
up against the building. We looked at that and I looked at that once we got some
information on that as well and there is a couple of issues there. I know there
was some concerns about security; somebody being able to jump up there and
look into the windows, which they could have done anyway if they wished too,
but we have concerns about plantings and other things from a security standpoint
being that close to the building, up at that level, but right now we are looking at
the cost of what it would be to run a four foot wall as well and I think Petra will
give us some information on that when they get that to at least bring that option
up to soften that elevation. That is the primary elevation that will be more evident
than others that is four feet out of the ground. As you can tell we have a stair
tower we will have to deal with as well on elevation 3 (inaudible); see there is the
four foot elevation difference. We will pick up the additional stairs and ramps as
they come out of each of these stair towers. So it i.s a little bit more evident of the
building being raised on Meridian Road than the rest because we are
transitioning up to the plaza areas that kind of soften that on the east side of the
building verses the west.
De Weerd: I guess the discussion was on the plantings and if you had plantings
high enough to cover that and it would take some time to, but you would have
security issues between. the plantings and the face of the building as well verses
the planter box; at least you could keep your plantings a little bit lower and it
would be very obvious that someone is standing up on those planter boxes
anyway.
Simmons: I did bring the color renderings of that, although the plants are
gigantic, if you will that I gave to Will. They are huge. I don't know if they
rendered those properly; there is a little 3D concept they did in sketch up that the
landscape architects did them. Those are being passed down to give you an
idea of what they are referring to.
Borton: Steve is the security concern meaning that those options are excluded
or is it just something to balance?
Simmons: Something to balance. What we would like to do is look at that a little
bit further. I would be a little bit concerned if we have that four foot elevation -
there are pros and cons, I guess, in reality. If you have the four foot elevation
difference it does in a long run protect the building from someone getting up to it
from a vehicular standpoint, but also it gives somebody the opportunity to step
back up to there and look in the windows and do other things. One of the pros
that we had all discussed when we decided to raise the building up was to raise
those vision windows where the folks would be working., particularly a lot of you
• •
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
May 8, 2007

folks work at night -raise that up in the air so that there is some privacy to keep
people from staring in and by raising the building up we have done that. If we put
another planter up, we kind of have brought that back into play as well. So,
won't say it is totally dead... We will look at the price and be able to report back to
the Committee as to what that would cost; at least look at that and see what the
net savings would be.
Zaremba: Mr. President, if I may?
Borton: Mr. Zaremba..
Zaremba: In general concept as we are raising the building four feet and making
the other adjustments, just keep in mind that we are not adding anything that
would be attractive to skateboarders to use.
Simmons: No, sir. Not at all.
Rountree: Are you sure.
(Speaker unknown): They will have the plaza.
Simmons: Yeah, they will have the water feature.
De Weerd: They would get hurt if they fell off of that.
Bird.: Well, we would put a sidewalk in the back and they skateboard there.
Simmons: There are deterrents that you could put on top of seat walls and
things too that will keep those -there are little metal things -
Zaremba: Spikes, yeah?
Simmons: Spikes, no. No spikes.
Borton: The 3B that Ihave - I don't know if you see them up there but it looks
like you know with the four feet raised -you know the east elevation has a
different base than the west or excuse me the north verses the south - it is just
the way it is shaded and I don't know if that is just the way that this thing printer
off. I presume the materials are consistent.
Simmons: Yeah, it does show that. You are right, but it was just concrete similar
to what is shown on the other one.
Borton: So it is not different on other sides?
Simmons: No.

Borton: Okay. Council any other questions or information at least from Steve at
this point? I think Wes and Gene are going to provide some more information as
well.
Bettis: Thank you Mr. President, Mayor, distinguished Councilmen and city staff.
For the record my name is Wesley Bettis of Petra, Inc., 1097 North Rosario,
Meridian, ID 83642. Marked an important milestone this week. As of yesterday
we were officially under construction, so all of the heartache, the pain, the
meetings., the decisions that you have agonized over are coming to fruition. We
began excavation yesterday and as a matter of fact we will be 50 percent through
the basement excavation by this Friday. So we are making very good progress.
John Anderson our Superintendent on site has got his hands firmly around the
throat of this project and moving forward very quickly. I am going to pass out to
you real quick here John's production schedule he is working off of right now. He
actually puts these together on a weekly basis and works with his subcontractors.
This is a schedule that just reflects the phase two activities. Again this schedule
just reflects the phase two activities, which were just bid and the contracts are
now coming back in and Keith Watts will be addressing you during the regular
Council session asking you to approve and execute for final application on these
contracts for this phase.. The nice thing about our excavation right now having
raised the building four foot; we are only excavating about four foot down, so we
are getting some -that is part of the reason of why we are getting such good
progress on the project. Also for next week, if everything comes together it is our
intent to have a mach up at the job office trailer prior to Pre-Council for the
masonry systems, both the specified product and the alternate product in the
cast stone and the brick for Council to look at, get some feel for what the building
could possibly look like and raise questions for us to address with you. Other
than that, we are off and rolling folks. We will stand for questions or if you have
anything specific that you would like to ask of Gene or myself.
Bird: Mr. President.
Borton; Mr. Bird.
Bird: Our brick -how many did we wind up with? 19,000 approximately?
Bettis: We have 43 pallets of brick, approximately 19,300 that are being loaded
on a flatbed prior to this meeting and getting ready to head over to park behind
the Police building.
De Weerd: Did you verify those numbers?
Bettis: Plus or minus a couple hundred, Mayor. Thank you. Forty-three pallets;
about 450 per pallet.

Bird: Thank you for doing that. That is fantastic and it would be really nice if we
could put some of the old history back in. That is about the only thing that was
salvageable to put back in.
Bettis: It will be. We do have the door from the old boiler that is currently
residing in the Mayor's Office. A nice homey corner. Along with those brick you
will be able to incorporate those in the building on the plaza, the historic building
as well as the potential corner stone for the building for some historic reference
for future generations and there is a possibility that you will have some brick left
over that you can certainly share with the community of Meridian.
De Weerd: Or use in other parks or something.
Bettis: Yes.
Rountree: Great.
Bird: Thank you.
Borton: Thank you Wes. Gene do you have anything to (inaudible) for
reporting?
Bird: Yeah on Monday mornings he is the one that does the talking.
(Inaudible from audience)
Borton: Steve did you want to comment on the Council design or no? Council
Chamber's design suggestions?
Simmons: As a matter of fact we have a meeting tomorrow afternoon with our
audio visual consultant with Will to go through the additional layout. They are
supposed to start producing the documents for that, so yes, we can start
adjusting that the sooner the better. As you know that model is similar to what
was used in the courthouse so we are at a point where -the difference is that as
a Council you require a lot more folks around than most folks -department
heads set there so we have been struggling a little bit with how to get that many
folks around -the best views to be able to look at the information that is being
processed and presented to the public as well. So we are working with our
consultants to look at how that is going to be done; the best way as well as for
you folks as well, so by all means give us whatever input you have.
Zaremba: Mr. President.
Borton: Mr. Zaremba.

Zaremba: I made a couple of notes, which. we probably don't need to discuss
that I can hand to either you or Will that probably were already settled before I
became involved, but I just want to make sure they didn't get missed if they aren't
discussed.
Simmons: Not necessarily.
Berg: Just for the record the Council desks are going to be large enough so you
can move around..
Zaremba: -- and have computers and paperwork in front of us?
Berg: Yes..
De Weerd: No, we like the coziness.
Zaremba: Well, I don't mind being close. I just want you faced this way.
Simmons: We have asked our consultant to look at designing ultimately two
monitors for each person. Now whether that might be a laptop on the interim and
one monitor until funds became available to afford that. Until such time he gives
me a budget we can't really say where we are at on that, but we are certainly
going to plan for that.
Borton: Steve one of the things that I think was brought up a long time ago and
maybe the pictures don't do it justice is whether or not the leg turn would allow
for a side table - I am envisioning some presentations that the applicant would
be discussing and they might have some staff member working their PowerPoint
or an audio visual presentation from a -
Simmons: For staff there would be a side table, which is somewhat -
(Inaudible discussion)
Simmons: Well I don't know if this is the original or the later design -this is the
later and there should be a raised portion right here because we envision you
would have a staff person standing right there -
Gorton: -- and the applicants are perhaps doing their presentation as opposed to
(inaudible) -
Simmons: Sure.
Gorton: -- instead of saying staff step aside, they could actually maybe have their
own person you know maybe sitting right next to them -
• •
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting

Simmons: And that is certainly doable.
Bird: I think it is a pretty good idea.
Simmons: A small table with kind of a -how (inaudible) does it need to be?
Bird: Actually it would be part of the left turn.
Simmons: Sure because it is all custom anyway.
Bird: I have one Mr. President.
Borton: Mr. Bird.
Bird: When you figure out the seats - I know you little skinny guys can sit in 18
inches, but us big fat guys need 24, okay? Give us a little more room. So get 24
inch chairs instead of 12 inches.
Zaremba: I would like to look taller too.
Bird: No, I am talking about out in the public. If you get somebody my size and
have to be sitting in the middle there, you don't have any room.
Simmons: Yeah, these auditorium chairs are tight; I would agree. We have -
actually the chair is going to be movable.
Bird: Yeah, I know but we have got them at the church and they are no wider
than I am.
Simmons: Well, yeah, but typically chairs are 24 inches wide. We will bring you
some cut sheets to show you.
(Inaudible discussion)
De Weerd: Or the people sitting in the front rows have the more comfortable
seats.
Simmons: We do have the same consultant as did the Eagle (inaudible--). We
will go over that with him tomorrow.
De Weerd.: Mr. President.
Borton: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: I guess one of the concerns that staff had expressed is how we can
get staff all in one spot. You know certainly Dean doesn't care where he sits, just
•
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
May 8, 2007
Page 9 of 11
as long as Keith doesn't mumble. I think it is important to have staff in the same
place and I don't know how you accomplish that with this design.
Simmons: We had gone over several different layouts and talked with Will about
that and it is a little bit of a struggle, too, as you can imagine. This is more of a
modified, which doesn't work actually as well as the original layout. This is more
of a horseshoe if you will. As you can imagine the more people we put on that
the longer and longer -pretty soon we start losing public seating. So it is just a
matter of splaying that out more and trying to get as many as we can in (here.
Then the discussion led to how built in should those be? Should they be able to
come out -are they just tables? As long as we have our audio visual jacks and
things we could put -not unlike that, only a little more finished obviously and
could we do that? So we are looking for input and are these fixed pieces of
furniture that are going to be there period? What if we have a big session., you
know we want to bring more chairs in. I assume they are always going to be
there, so that sort of input is good. We will go over that tomorrow as well. So
don't know if we need four extra seats on each side of that for department heads
or future department heads -eight total.
Borton: It seems like the only way to have them all together would be sitting at a
table behind the applicant facing Council. I don't know if that -
Simmons: Does that work the way you do business?
Borton: It would be more difficult for staff to nod off.
Simmons: So there is a functional aspect that we are struggling with a little bit
that we are trying to work out, so certainly give us input as to how you might like
that -where those staff folks should be seated. We are envisioning and certainly
there would be screens up above on either side that they would be able to look
across too, but at what point do you know -should they have fixed monitors?
Should they all become fixed cabinetry or not?
De Weerd: If you have any good ideas please share them with Will so that he
can help integrate it into the design.
Bird: Mr. President.
Borton: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Tammy, you don't like this where we have three on one side and three on
the other when we are getting the deal?
De Weerd: I am just sharing you the concern of staff because they do have
some dialogue among themselves that you know you would limit that.

Bird: I understand and I am sure we can work something out. I don't want to
(inaudible) off to the back or to the side or something like that and I don't want -
if they are facing us I don't want their backs to the public. Do you?
De Weerd: No. Can you maybe, Steve, stack them and have one row in front of
the other and still be able to have the necessary clearance for the steps?
Simmons: Perhaps, we will look at that Madame Mayor and we shifted off
balance a little bit, but this shouldn't be an issue.
De Weerd: Well maybe in stacking it the row that you would have in front of it at
the very end you could have a raised,, left turn type of thing so the staff that would
be addressing the Council then would be able to stand up and have a podium
type of thing in front of them to refer to notes or what have you.
Simmons: That is certainly typical. They need to be up at this level to run the
projector system, what they are going to do and to tell you what is going on prior
to the applicants beginning, so it is nicer to have that raised portion to work from.
That really doesn't show that. The original does show that section, but that one
does not. So we will adjust that and work with Will and we will just bring a couple
options to you quickly to just see what you think and then we are going to go
down and tour tomorrow primarily just for the cabinetry and look at those sorts of
things. Absolutely if you have ideas send them through to Will, get the
information to him or use the (inaudible) clearing house, our single point of
contact if you will, it makes things a little bit faster and a little bit more efficient.
So, thank you.
Gorton: Thank you, Steve. Council any other questions?
Bird: I have none.
Rountree: I have none.
Zaremba: Nope.
Borton: I did put a comment to Jerry and Wes and Gene probably know this, but
in light of my comments from not too long ago, being grumpy and being short
about items with this project, I have heard nothing but compliments with what is
going on with Petra's work and I put a call into Jerry and I thought it only fair if I
am ever being snippy on something, but when things are going great I call as
well, so I would definitely like the public to recognize Petra's efforts and things
are going great and I would love to hear it, so we appreciate you a lot.
De Weerd: Mr. President.
Borton: Madame Mayor.
