Nary: I don't think an application has even been filed yet, has it?
Brown: No, it hasn't. Then a letter from Commerce and Labor specifically stating
and welcoming them to Meridian and how they will help businesses in Meridian.
also included the ad, which is the next part that you have in the Idaho
magazine. If you go to the pink tab this is the ad that I have told you before that I
wanted to place in the United Express magazine, going out -you can see the
little map here and it is going all over the country on - it will reach 1.5 million
passengers.
Bird: Cheryl is this the same one that you put it the plane?
Brown: Yes.
Bird: -- oh, excuse me Mr. President.
Brown: The one that I talked to you about at the MDC meeting. I have here the

Brown: This is the number of permits comparison from quarter 2 to quarter 3 and
we took it back from January of "03 all the way to '06. So, you have got a few
years of comparison in there. The next page -that is the total permit numbers.
The next one is the value comparison and again that is from January '03 up to
April of '06. Then the last page on that is the volume comparison comparing the
residential to the commercial growth and charting how that has been since
January '03. The next paper in there that I have been working on is the largest
employers in Meridian, an update on the employee counts and they are climbing
at every one of them. We have been adding and adding and adding to.
Bird: Mr. President.
Wardle: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Cheryl, the Meridian School District is that all of their employees or just the
ones within the City of Meridian?
Brown: Full time employees.
Bird: For the whole district?
Brown: Yes and these are full time numbers. The next map -you are going to
have two maps in there. This is showing our urban renewal district. The
highlighted yellow is a twelve-block area that we are looking at proposing for a
wireless mesh. This is just a close up of that area. The RFP went out last
Thursday. I have been talking to MDC about this. We have had a committee
research this, check on how this is going to affect our economy for downtown
and the viability of it and all our indications are coming out wonderful for this.
Wardle: Cheryl, just to clarify that was
will be at the discretion and certainly, I
be held by MDC solely?
an RFP that was released by MDC and
believe any costs associating is going to
Brown: Correct. You don't have this in your packet, but I have been working on
updating -these are the major business parks in Meridian with what their use is,
their investment into the city, the number of employees they have, the total
square footage that they have and at what completion are they at full build out.
So, I tried to get this ready for you this time, but I will have it for the next time for
you just to give us an idea of these business campuses and how full are they? I
also have current tenant lists for all of them as well. I have here the economic
development implementation plan and I would like you to take a look at this. This
is what I am following. If you have any suggestions for me, any ideas or
anything, please just let me know. I am focusing on downtown Meridian and
have been meeting with potential developers for downtown Meridian. I am
working with MDC. I am working on the medical district very heavily and getting

that laid out and that is going to be a huge project and that is going to be bridging
our downtown. We are going to be having a marketing plan presented to us - I
will find out tomorrow the date that they want to present this and this is going
over the branding for Meridian, revitalization, (inaudible) is helping me put these
packets together to give out to these site locating companies. Some other
projects that I have been working on are site visits and trying to identify our
medical users, who we can help bring to Meridian their vendors, their suppliers,
people that they might feel a need to have some of their contacts close to them.
I have been working with the Meridian Chamber of Commerce Economic
Development Committee, the ABC Liquor Legislation Law this year and is
carrying over again for next year. I have been working with MDC, a lot of the
developers on the individual projects, educational institutions, Aspire On -the
website for the Economic Development is done, we are just updating it now as
we get current information and working with the wireless mesh for downtown.
Now, I have updates from different developers. I don't know if you want me to go
into this? Do I have time?
Wardle: Council, maybe some highlights.
Brown: These came straight from the developers, not my wording. Centre Point,
Kohl's groundbreaking is the first week in May; Kohl's in planning to open their
store in March of '07 and I have had a lot of people ask me about that one.
Construction will begin on 25,000 square foot restaurant and retail building
shortly after Kohl's project begins. (Inaudible) interested at Centre Point are very
strong. There should be several substantial retailers at Centre Point that are not
presently in Meridian or not in Boise or Idaho at all. They are targeting for Centre
Point. Central Valley Corporate Park, their growth last quarter they added a
multiple tenant building. They are at 80 percent completion. They had two new
tenants this last quarter and two other tenants expand over there. Their
employees, Bob was estimating at 15,000. EI Dorado had three buildings under
construction -about 50,000 square foot is planned now with more coming later
on this year and that will total 140,000 square feet more, two of them being
medical buildings, one will be a full service pharmacy. They are doing an office
condominium building at 25,000 square feet at the south end of EI Dorado and
Chicago Connection opened up out there and said this is the top highest
grossing store in their entire chain and it has been since day one.
Wardle: They don't deliver north of the freeway.
Brown: Fairview Lakes grew by one building last quarter. They are at 25 percent
completion. They had two other new tenants. Grandview Station, Sterling Bank
is going in. Marriott, people were in town the week of April 9th and they will be
submitting mid June for their permit completion to be '07 opening in early '07.
Design multiple tenant retail building construction will start as soon as the final
design and building permits are approved -

Brown: -- they are guessing that they are going to be 100 percent leased before
they even start construction. They have, according to Winston, one of the finest
sit down restaurants in the United States is under contract and construction will
start mid summer. For competitive reasons we can't release the name yet. He
also has another big tenant that I can't talk about that is going out there as well.
Taco Bell will be under construction mid summer. The Halet Cinemas area has
one (inaudible) up. They are 33 percent completed. This is the English pub that
is going out there. They have 45 employees out at the cinema. Meridian
Marketplace is 92 percent completion. They had eight new tenants; Pine Bridge
is like I said in the planning stages right now - 170 acres, about 2 million square
feet and about a $500 million project. They have spent just $50 million on the
ground. Silverstone Town Square -condo building and suites will be available
for lease or purchase -construction is underway now. There are several other
new - I have got their whole tenant list out there. They are 85 percent complete.
They have 5,200 employees out there right now looking at close to 10,000 when
they are completed. They have 168 acres, a little over 27 still remain in the
design stages out there. Ustick Market Place this last quarter had two free
standing buildings, 1 to 10,000 multi tenant buildings square feet. The
percentage of that is at 70 percent. They have had Bank of America go in.
Tetley's Coffee, Nextel, Costa (inaudible) restaurant, Quick Drop and Sizzler out
there by Lowe's and they have an estimated 400 employees. Waltman Lane is
still in the planning stages. Do you want me to keep going?
Wardle: If you have five more minutes of good news, Cheryl, let's hear it.
Brown: Well, just -with the (inaudible) suites going in it is a $4.9 million project,
it is at 65,000 square feet, 124 room hotel -Country Inn Suites, which is in Porky
Park is -
Bird: What is that and where is it?
Brown: Porky Park and it is at 355 E. Pine. This is another almost $5 million
project, 54,000 square feet, 82 rooms. Courtyard Inn is almost another $5 million
project, 64,600 square feet, 145 rooms. I could go on and on.
Wardle: Actually, Cheryl if those are lists you could circulate via email, certainly
those are great talking points as we are out speaking with citizens within the
community that will help from my perspective. Council?
Rountree: You have great information and you don't have to read it to me.
Brown: Good.

Brown: How many more do you want?
Wardle: Cheryl, thank you very much for the update and the great work and we
will be in touch if we have any additional questions.
Brown: Thank you.
Wardle: All right that brings us to Item No. 5 on our agenda Council.

Code 67-2345 (1) (c).

Item 4. Communities in Conversation:
Wardle: I would like to begin with our staff member Steve Siddoway. One of the
things that we are going to do here is have a short presentation. We are looking
for comment for COMPASS's Communities in Motion and Steve, I believe, the
deadline for public comment is Friday, correct?
Siddoway: Yes, it is. Thank you Mr. President, members of the Council and
Mayor. Good to be with you this afternoon. I have been asked to come and give
you a brief overview of the Communities in Motion process. Actually COMPASS
has come up with a rather innovative method for public involvement with this. I
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
May 16, 2006
Page 7 of 14
do have to give them some kudos for that. They have come up with what they
call a meeting in a bag and they distributed 200 of them across the Valley, so
that definitely small groups of any kind, really, can meet, review the plan and
provide comments in a way that may be more useful and better for discussion
than a typical open house. They have done a lot of work. They have put
together this short video that will play and then I will just kind of walk you through
the executive summary, which matches the order of questions and the comment
form and then I would encourage you that if any of you do have specific
comments to please let me know and many of you have - I think many of you
have met Matt Ellsworth. He is working with me at Planning and Zoning now.
He did his thorough review of the full plan and gave that to me today and we will
be going through that tomorrow and getting formal comments to COMPASS by
Friday and if this body has any specific comments that you would like to ensure
are incorporated I would be happy to take that forward. So, with that as a brief
introduction, we will go ahead and play the video and then we will pick up from
there.
(Presentation of Video)
Wardle: Great video, Steve. I think we had some local stars in that one.
Siddoway: In the interest of time, I am going to skip the instructions, so let's let
that do its thing. If we were to do (inaudible--). I will leave the video here if
anyone would like to (inaudible). If we were to do a full meeting as opposed to a
meeting in a bag, it would be a two plus hour venture and we have roughly 15
minutes. So, in the interest of time, we will skip that and I will just maybe throw
some discussion topics out in the order they show up in both the comments form
and the executive summary. As mentioned, this is the long range transportation
plan for not just Ada County, but for five counties. There is heavy focus on the
two county areas of Ada and Canyon, but it does include some of the principle
they needed -transportation improvements in neighboring counties. It looks out
to 2030, so that is the horizon year for this plan and the basis of the plan is we
are - we have a lot of growth coming. We need to get prepared for it as much as
we can. One of the main messages you will find from this whole document is
that we frankly don't have enough money to do everything that we need to do to
get ready for that growth. There is a real need to identify some additional funding
sources in the end. To start off with the -
(Inaudible discussion)
Siddoway: One of the major bases for the (inaudible) plan is the population
projections and the population they projected for 2030 is 825,000. That is based
on a 2.2 percent growth rate over the next 25 years and frankly they are hearing
from just about every city that they think that is low. I will get to what some of the
implications are, if that indeed proves to be the case and is low. Our growth rate
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
May 16, 2006
Page 8 of 14
as a region for the last couple of years has been about 4.4 percent. If that
growth rate were to continue constant over the next 25 years, we would be over
1.5 million by 2030 instead of at 825,000.
Wardle: Steve, if I could interrupt. I know in the past we have discussed
COMPASS's projections with it specifically in regard to Meridian and the growth
rates. Do they feel that their number is an aggressive number or have they
utilized it as a conservative?
Siddoway: They know it is conservative, but it was based on actual projections
and factors through John Church and just hearing the city saying that it was too
low was - it was not a defensible reason to up the number. Tammy I don't know
if you have more information on that?
De Weerd: Mr. Chairman, Mr. President, I am sorry.
Wardle: Madame Mayor.
De Weerd: We did get an information out yesterday at the COMPASS Board
meeting. Peggy was going to copy that and put it in your boxes. So, it shows a
chart as some different calculations of how it could be determined and they are
going to be hiring a demographer this year to start working on a better model.
But, it ranged anywhere from 850,000 people over the period of this plan to 1.5
million. So, depending on how you calculate it. I do like I said, have that to be
copied and given to you guys.
Bird: Mr. President maybe I -what they did is they went back in history all the
way back to the 70's and just kind of took the percentage. We went from 4.4 to
1.9, wasn't it the low one -which we hit in the late 70's or early 80's.
Siddoway: Yeah, it may have even been lower than that. I can't remember.
Bird: It was real low, but it was about the best calculations I have seen in years.
I was real impressed with the calculations.
Siddoway: They did take a long tran as opposed to -just the last couple of years
in determining that growth rate.
De Weerd: Yeah, and what is being used right now is 2.2 percent and nothing in
the historical trans came even close to that.
Wardle: I guess I could buy 825,000 if we are talking about sustainable rural
growth, which is really what we have had, but if you add in what I would assume
would be an urbanization and some redevelopment in densities, I think that
Meridian City Pre-Councieeting
May 16, 2006
Page 9 of 14
pushes the number significantly beyond 2.2 percent. Is that something that is in
the model, Steve, do you know?
Siddoway: It does show urbanization. As we get into the -well, we won't get
into to it too much right now, but if you look at the growth scenarios, the preferred
scenario called Community Choices is what everything is based on and it shows
in it many different types of development, lots of urbanization, new town centers,
increased downtown areas and things like that, but the number of people
accommodated in that scenario is 825,000. So, even with the 825,000 they are
envisioning that number as an urbanized number. But, whether it is urbanized
enough remains to be seen.
Bird: Mr. President.
Wardle: Mr. Bird.
Bird: If I remember right and Mayor, Steve and Charlie were there too, but I like
the way they come up with our numbers better. Phoenix just throws 100,000 a
year out is how they estimate their growth. They don't do by percentage.
Siddoway: Instead of on a percentage, they do it on a total number (inaudible).
Bird: They say we are going to have 100,000 new people, which I am sure they
are.
Siddoway: Because even if you add the same number of people every year as
your city (inaudible) grows that percentage increase /decreases over time. You
know we have been adding 10,000 plus per year for the last several years, but
the percent of that increase actually decrease even though the number increases
because our original number grows each time.
Wardle: Mr. Rountree did you have --?
Rountree: Oh, I was just going to make a comment that the model is only as
good as the assumptions that went into it. I think the assumptions were based
on the public involvement and what the public felt they want. I am not going to
endorse or necessarily say they are right or wrong, but it is just that. It is a
crystal ball guess and two percent has historically been a long term rule of thumb
for growth, somewhere between 1.5 and 2 percent so 2.2 is somewhat on the
generous side. If you look at the last ten years it has been about 3.4 in the area
and as Steve indicated it has been projected in some scenarios over four
percent. So, if I were a betting man, I would bet that it is going to be more than
2.2. I would also bet that we aren't going to necessarily reflect the growth over
the last six years and I don't think we are necessarily going to reflect as a raging
Meridian City Pre-Counci Meeting
May 16, 2006
Page 10 of 14
- as the growth scenario that was picked. I think that if we continue to see what
we see today, it is -
Siddoway: It is one scenario to measure actuals against.
Rountree: Yeah, it is a scenario to measure what actually happens and if in five
years they are not close then we are going to have to readjust the thought. The
bottom line, though, and Steve is right -what the plan says is there is not
enough funding in the horizon to accommodate a fairly reasonable projection of
growth, let alone what would happen at four or five or even six percent.
Wardle: Just looking at the map, Steve, one of the questions that I can't assume
would be the number that may have been utilized, but I would question that
within this scenario what percentage of a current available land is expected to be
urbanized in the sense that --?
Rountree: He has got that.
Wardle: Oh, you do?
Rountree: Yeah, that is part of the plan.
Siddoway: Yeah, in fact there are three main points that I would really like to
touch on before I run out of time. I can hit the amount of land in that. The first is
the growth scenarios. The second is the transportation systems that are
proposed and the third is the financial realities behind that. Many of you, I think,
actually participated in a lot of the growth scenario workshops. When (inaudible)
and Associates were in town and they had some very successful, frankly,
workshops where we had maps of the region and they had the little stickers that
represented different types of growth and you had to accommodate 825,000
people and all of the employment and things that go with it on the map. Those -
there were many iterations of the growth scenarios. In the end it was boiled
down to two that were carried forward. One is trend, so that we could see if what
we are doing today continues forward unchanged and what the implications of
that were and two is a hybrid of several that ended up being called community
choices. Those two scenarios were taken forward. Now, I am not going to read
it all to you, but in your packet there on the second page of the executive
summary there is a box and it compares trend to community choices. You can
see the first line is the difference in the acreage consumed. Trend consumes
over 125,000 acres and community choices consume only 42,000 acres. How
you are able to consume so much less land? By increasing the density. So,
community choices has fewer single family homes, although it still has 55 percent
as single family, so a majority of new housing types has single family, but
certainly increases the other types of housing immensely from what we are
seeing today. One of the differences to point out is the difference in the daily
Meridian City Pre-Counci Meeting
May 16, 2006
Page 11 of 14
vehicle miles of travel. Trend has 20.7 million vehicle miles it could travel per
day and community choices is 19.6. Now to look at them at just a first glance
they look awfully close and you think well is it worth the changes? Their
assertion is yes it is. Reducing the daily vehicle miles per traveled by over a
million has some fairly significant impacts on the demands for the road system.
So, we have the gross scenarios. The next challenge was to put some
transportation systems on them. They started with trend. We came up with
these capacity analysis maps of volume to capacity ratios and anything that was
over, I think it was 40 percent over capacity is red on this map. When they ran it
with what they called the 2009 network meaning just what was in the current five
year work program, assuming those get built, but nothing else -what did the
roads look like? There was a lot of red. Most roads were over capacity. More
than 40 percent over capacity. We built a road system and the road system, with
those improvements in it nearly wiped the red out and we call it to get the red out
version of the transportation scenarios. We then went to community choices and
started over from scratch and tried to model different things and to make a long
story short, in the end the road system needed for community choices was
frankly very similar to the trend. The main difference is being they didn't go quite
as far out in the outlining areas because the trend consumes more acres out on
the fringe and causes road demands out there, but in the core area and certainly
through Meridian, which is getting in the heart of the Valley the demands were
very similar because regardless they have got to go through. And you might say
well what about transit; doesn't that decrease the demand for the roads, road
improvements? The answer was not really because the busses would be sitting
in the same traffic that the cars would be and you still do need the road
improvements. That much became very clear. The transportation systems in the
plan, I have broken down into transit and roadways. Transit has two primary
components. It has the fixed guide way, which is either the light rail or some
form of bus rapid transit or some of those other options, commuter rail. The
second part of the transit piece is the fixed route bus services. Now, community
choices -transit scenario represents a tenfold increase in the transit service up
to date. Basically all Meridian arterial show up with fairly frequent bus service on
them. It assumes some sort of fixed guide way along the rail line through
downtown Meridian. Peak hour frequencies on the bus line are up to - or I
should say down to 15 minutes intervals. It is a vast improvement over what they
are today. In the trend scenario, the existing transit system basically remains
unchanged. They figure if densities continue to build out at around three dwelling
units per acre that it is really not going to support much additional future transit
and so they just carried the existing system forward for the trend. We can talk
about specific questions on roadways. There are proper complaints to consider
specifically for Chinden, for McDermott, for Linder and nearly every Meridian
road shows up in this plan so we could talk about everything at length, but those
are some of the big ones that come to mind that I have been tracking. Chinden,
Highway 20/26, it shows up in the plan with these little circles. What those little
circles represent are future interchanges at the mile locations and they are
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
May 16, 2006
Page 12 of 14
talking about Chinden as an expressway and whether or not 20/26 would keep
access at the half miles -like we are currently doing is very much a question
right now. I did attend a large 20/26 public meeting last week. I did attend and
sit in one of the small groups and I got to tell you the public sentiment for limiting
access and making it into an expressway that provides an alternate route to the
freeway was extremely high. I mean, I pushed what do you think about these
half mile accesses at every point in that conversation and I was pretty well shot
down by the people that were in the discussion group. Nonetheless, we are on
the record as a city as not agreeing with the concept of removing those half mile
accesses. That comment does show up in the plan and it just states that the
actual access to 20/26 will be determined through the corridor study that is
currently ongoing specifically for that roadway.
Wardle: Thank you, Steve. I know you have got a timeline to meet today. So,
would like to thank you for taking your time to come and make this presentation
to us. I encourage Council to certainly engage Steve in any additional questions
they may have and I will take any additional comments for about five minutes and
then we will wrap it up. Steve, thank you very much. I appreciate it. We have
copies of the CD if you need them too.
Siddoway: If you get me any comments that you would like to make sure are
included, I will make sure they are included. So, thank you.
Wardle: Council, one of the things that we can discuss, but we don't necessarily
have the specifics to, but it would be funding. Item No. 3 on Steve's agenda - is
there any comment or question with regard to the materials that are provided?
You are still here, Steve? If you still have got time.
Siddoway: I can just make a quick comment. The total pot for the funding was at
$350 million when they aggregated all the available funding sources. That left on
the table about $629 million worth of road improvements unfunded and about
$1.1 million worth of transit improvements unfunded. So, there certainly is a
greater need. I might also just throw out there that because of the general
feeling that, as Charlie pointed out that a lot of people are willing to be that the
2.2 may turn out low. They did an analysis of what happens if we go to 1.5
million people and build everything that is in the plan and even with that they saw
I think it was like 70 percent increases in congestion, commute times from
Caldwell to Micron going to two hours. Their models are really kicking out some
scary things. What that said is that if we are on a faster growth track, we really
need to find some new funding sources. They also did some very interesting
calculations in the plan for how that deficit could be made up. They showed
several options. None are specific proposals. They are just out there for
discussion. One that kind of hit home was about 1.25 percent sales tax would
cover every improvement in the plan, transit and roads. It is hard to put your
hands around what $1.8 billion is unfunded. It is a big number, but what it turns
Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting
May 16, 2006
Page 13 of 14
out to is just under $200 per household per year would fund everything in the
plan, both transit and roadways.
Wardle: Was that sales tax number just a local option, tri-county or was it a
statewide --?
Siddoway: I think it was a two county.
Wardle: Two county.
Rountree: Mr. President, I think it included the boundaries of the TMA.
Wardle: Scary scenarios. I think aren't we only one daily bad crash away from a
two hour commute from Caldwell to Micron?
Rountree: Yeah, that or a snowstorm.
Wardle: All right, additional comments from the public? Would anyone like to
comment? Certainly I encourage any citizens that would wish to do so, to either
contact Steve at the Planning Department directly, COMPASS directly or
certainly any of us directly. As elected officials we would be happy to pass those
along until Friday. All right, Council. Thank you for taking the time to allow me to
do that. We are going to move now to Item 3, which is Economic Development
update by Cheryl Brown.

above: Jeff Moeser counts the entrepreneurial advantages of
Boise among the community's many assets.
JEFF MOESER CAME TO BOISE from Austin in
1994 to head product development and new tech-
nologies for Micron Computer. That offshoot of
Idaho powerhouse Micron Technologies under-
went several transformations before succumbing
to the tech-crash of 2001. Despite the seeming
DZO I SKYWEST MAGAZINE SPECIAL IDAHO SECTION UNITED EXPRESS
reversal of fortunes, Jeff remained in Boise striving
to create new opportunities.
If industry accolades are any measure, Jeff has
met that goal with Dedicated Devices, Inc.-a
Boise-based start-up. The company, producer of
intricate, yet user-friendly digital home network-
ing systems, earned "Best Structured Wiring
Device" honors from the Consumer Electronics
Association in 2005 and was recently named "2006
Best Home Networking Device" by the National
Association of Homebuilders.
The enterprise's success is anchored by Jeffs
determination to create local opportunity in a
community he came to love. "In 2001, it was really a
tragic time. Hundreds of people were laid off, and
there were no jobs available to absorb the work-
force. Iwas an officer in the company. So some folks
and I got together to see what we could do. Actually,
this is our second start-up. We realized that a lot of
technology companies get out there, and it's tech-
nologyfor technology's sake. They have a great idea
and they assume it will succeed. With Dedicated
Devices, we started with a different approach."

Jeff and his team identified a need and went to
work fulfilling it. "There exists a tremendous oppor-
tunity in new home construction. Last year around
two-million houses were built in the U.S. More than
50% had structured cable in the house. Think of it as
the digital plumbing. We build a killer product that
allows people to integrate their videos, music, com-
puter, photos-everything everywhere throughout
the home."
To better build the brand, DDi, as the company
is known, partnered with Leviton, a top supplier
of electrical goods. That company provided input
on the development of the product and serves as
the primary distributor.
"As a start-up, unknown in the market, working
with Leviton gave us an edge," Jeff said. His Boise
location provided additional advantages. "Raising
equity capital here was not really very hard to do,
especially considering this was 2003 - 2004, very
challenging times."
Jeff counts the entrepreneurial advantages of
Boise among the community's many assets. "I live
here for a reason. This is a community of unbeliev-
ably smart and hard-working people. The reality is
I know we are a small area in a small state, and that
attracting key people can be somewhat challenging
when you're doing astart-up. But the big thing here
is that the quality of life is bar none. My wife and
I have two little Idaho natives running around at
home now, and there's plenty for them to do. I'm an
avid road cyclist, and the riding around here is great.
We have what maybe the easiest airport in the world
to get in and out of. The only thing we have to do
now, as a community, is maintain all these advantages.
I hope Boise will always be Boise."
