have one thing, Mr. Bird. On item C and the dog license agreement - do you
want to - we don't need to pull it. We discussed i# earlier.
Bird: Are w® going to take that - I'm sorry. If Mr. Anderson will accept this
(inaudible) second. Item C, the dog license agreement, I would like to take back
into Item 10C to discuss in the Regular Agenda if that's agreeable to Mr.
Anderson's second.
Anderson: Sure.
Corrie: The correction is noted. Any further discussion?
Roll-call vote: Mr. Anderson, aye; Mrs. McCandless, aye; Mr. Bird, aye.

Item 1. Update on Cherry Lane Recreation, Inc., by JoAnne Butler:
Corrie: Okay. The Regular Agenda, Item 1 is update on Cherry Lane
Recreation, Inc., by JoAnne Butler. JoAnne.
Butler: Mr. Mayor, Council members, JoAnne Butler, 101 South Capital
Boulevard representing Cherry Lane Recreation. With me here tonight is Wally
Lovan, Nancy Link, Tad Holloway, Jennifer Lovan-Holloway, and on behalf of
Idaho Independent Bank, Gerry Mattison. As the Council knows, we've been in
the process of constructing a clubhouse at the golf course. Cherry Lane
received a conditional use for this purpose last summer. Just by way, for the
Council so that you know, one of the conditions of approval reflected in that
conditional use permit and also reflected in the agreement that's before you
tonight was not actually the condition of approval that the Council deliberated on
if we looked at the Council minutes of June 15"', and we assume that was just a
drafter's mistake. Anyway, that is one of the reasons that is why we are going
back before your P & Z next week, actually, for a modification of that particular
conditional use permit in connection with some timeframes, and that's next week.
That's not why we're here today. Tonight we're just here to review the
agreement for Cherry lane that has been under discussion by your attorney,
Idaho Independent Bank and Cherry Lane. The agreement is there to provide
the bank with the comfort it needs to glue Cherry Lane the loan to construct the
clubhouse, and the agreement is there to provide the City with the comfort that it
needs to be able to step into borrowers' shoes and complete that work if it
should ever have to. We have just asked the counsel through your attorney to
make a slight modification to that agreement, and I think your counsel's passed
that out. Under the agreement, the conditional use permit is a defined term. It

just references your file number, and we just added that it's a conditional use
permit as may be amended from #ime to time just to reflect the fact that we're in
that process now in Doming to the City over the next month or so to request an
amendment. tf that happens, then, obviously, the permit would reflect that
amendment. I think -not to put words into Mr. Mattison's mouth, the bank is in
agreement with the sligh# modification. 1 would hope the City is, too. If so>
we're asking that the City approve the agreement, and we'll get it signed and go
on: Just on a practical note, if the Council does decide to approve the
agreement as slightly amended, could you just explain to us the process: when
does the City sign it? When should we come to pick it up to circulate it for
signatures ourselves so that we could in turn get it back to the City? With that, if
there are no questions or if there are any questions, I'll be glad to answer them
and Gerry Mattison can as well if you have any.
Bird: I have none.
Cowie: Council, questions?
McCandless: I have none.
Anderson: Mr. Mayor, I have none.
Cowie: I guess to answer your question, if the Council does approve the request
for the agreement, I don't think (inaudible) problem as far as the City signing it;
what is your time schedule, do you know how long it's going to be for the other
two to sign?
Butler: Unless the - we talked to the Bank's attorney, I think unless it has to go
to the Bank outside of Meridian, and I'm not sure of that, but I think i# could be
signed within just a few days.
Cowie: Okay. Council, do you have any problem with the addition of "as may be
amended from time to time" on Item 2.1?
Anderson: Mr. Mayor, I'd just like to ask our legal counsel whether that would be
appropriate language or whether #hat would cause us any problems.
Nichols: Councilman Anderson, Mayor and Council, the proposed amendment
simply avoids the necessity of coming back with an addendum or an amendment
to this agreement if you happen to grant an amendment to the conditional use
permit. You're not obligated to, you're not presupposing the facts that are going
to come before you on that amendment. It's just simply clean-up, if you wilt, that
because there is a pending amendment to the CUP that you don't have to come
back in and authorize the change to this agreement. As a further note, we can

have this amended language and the agreement ready for pickup tomorrow if
you so approve it.
Currie: Any other questions?
Bird: I have none.
Item 1A. Agreement between the City of Meridian, Idahp Independent Bank

with the agreement as it's read with the addition of the words ~as may be

Currie: Let's just hope that that takes care of this. We've been an this trail for a
long time. Glad to see it's come to where it's at. Thank you, JoAnne. We'll
have that, like the attorney said, we'll have that tomorrow, and I'll sign it, and the
bank can sign it, and the Clerk can sign it, and we'll be all set to go. Thank you
for your time and patience. It's a long haul.
