I know we have to get coal fired, you know, power from out of state. What are the percentages of where our energy comes from for our electricity generation? Watson: About 38 percent (unintelligible) little bit of diesel mixed in there, very small, and the rest it can be (unintelligible). Hoaglun: Mr. President, another question. You mentioned last year we had all time peaks both summer and winter and, you know, that peak load it gets a little interesting, because, you know, the factor of rolling brown outs or potential black outs, if you can't provide, you can't move that power, the grid system's overloaded, people won't have electricity. You know, it could be 105 out there and they are not going to have any energy. But what concerns me a little bit, you know, as we plan for an economic base and have businesses come into the area where -- if I remember it was maybe two years ago some companies were looking at coming to the valley, they were major energy consumers. Where are we in being able to accept business or do we tell businesses, no, we don't have the energy resources to have new businesses grow in here? Where are we in that whole scheme of things? Watson: (Unintelligible). Hoaglun: So, I guess, Mr. Watson -- Mr. President -- if we have a major business looking at Meridian and there is going to be substantial electrical usage, they need to be in touch with you to see if we can make that happen? Meridian City Council Special Workshop Meeting May 19, 2009 Page 7 of 33 Watson: (Unintelligible). Hoaglun: Thank you. Rountree: Any other questions for Blake? David. Zaremba: Mr. President. Where are you with the relicensing of the Hells Canyon complex? Watson: We are not there yet. We are still (unintelligible). Zaremba: Thank you. Rountree: Blake, Idaho Power has a really terrific record in forecasting and I'm going to kind of put you on the spot and you don't have to answer me, but what -- what are you seeing as a company with respect to current economy in any point in time in tum around when you might see an increase in customers? Watson: (Unintelligible). Rountree: That would be helpful. I will throw you a soft one here. On your AMI process when you are rolling that out in Meridian sometime in June and July, do you do not only the door knocker, but do your technicians actually go to the door and knock on the door and tell people that they were going to be there doing that or is that -- they just come in an area and do it? Watson: (Unintelligible). Rountree: Do you notify city officials, particularly the police department, that they you're doing that? I can anticipate you might rile up some folks as you come into town and I see Lieutenant Overton over there smiling that they might get a few phone calls if they don't know that's happening. Watson: (Unintelligible). Rountree: Very good. Any other questions or comments? Bird: I have none. Rountree: Blake, thank you for being here tonight. Thank Idaho Power and you for the generous donation to the city for energy efficiency and all the support you have given the city over the last multiple years. Watson: (Unintelligible). Meridian City Council Special Workshop Meeting May 19, 2009 Page 8 of 33 F. SSC Update and Public Comment Rountree: Thank you. Next item on the agenda is SSC update and public comment. Steve and Rick. Sedlacek: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, my name is Steve Sedlacek (unintelligible). We started this process last fall and I think there was a proposal to (unintelligible) and I was anxious to switch right away and you called me down and (unintelligible). Friedman: Excuse me just a moment, Steve. Which one? You had two of them on here. Sedlacek: (Unintelligible) some people showed up I would say unhappy that we were proposing a change, but by the end understood why we were proposing (unintelligible) and that's fine, but at least we had a good discussion on why we were going to change (unintelligible). So, three reasons to change (unintelligible). We are, basically, looking at (unintelligible) water and sewer and it's all based on a unit cost basis (unintelligible). So, we also want -- well, as land fill fees increase (unintelligible) we control those costs. The second issue is the one (unintelligible) we -- I just want an information (unintelligible) in the last ten months and (unintelligible) we do a lot of safety training (unintelligible) these were the three or four big project (unintelligible) again, there were other comments (unintelligible) what do we do with extra weight. This is the big thing. This is the big hurdle. Particularly grass. Right now our waste loads have gone up tremendously because of grass (unintelligible) anyway, I'd like to talk about each of those comments. The next slide (unintelligible) so, what I would (unintelligible) that's not going to work. It's not going to work for me (unintelligible) we don't know what that restructure is. One thing we struggle (unintelligible) where people who have yard waste (unintelligible) be happy to answer any questions. (Unintelligible). That's basically a draft that shows the public how the rates are going to start (unintelligible) we could talk more about (unintelligible). So, your going to get a five gallon cart and you're going to get (unintelligible) if you tell David Zaremba he's on week A, what does that mean? You know, is that this week or next week. So, we are going to have to issue calendars (unintelligible) and also once you get into it (unintelligible). So, those are the four big comments. There were a number of other comments that we should just go through quickly. How many employees lose their job (unintelligible) two man trucks to (unintelligible). I hope the Council doesn't allow (unintelligible) anumber of rates -- different rates (unintelligible) I'm not going to advertise the 32 gallon can initially. We are happy to provide it (unintelligible) we are all required to have (unintelligible) by their homeowner's association and (unintelligible) the city of Boise has (unintelligible) they have actually raised the rates (unintelligible) Italked to those people and (unintelligible) and this would -- they would eam credits to (unintelligible), so I would prefer to -- if you want to credit for recycling and, then, go to the smaller can or reduce your rate that's your credit. That's how I (unintelligible). We can talk about that (unintelligible) it's not something (unintelligible) so my last (unintelligible) there would be no changes (unintelligible) cost of the equipment (unintelligible) so that's the recommendation Meridian City Council Special Workshop Meeting May 19, 2009 Page 9 of 33 (unintelligible) after we understand what (unintelligible) Ican go through these with you and I will go over these with you. Again, automated recycling (unintelligible) so one thing about (unintelligible) what can size (unintelligible) and that's really all I (unintelligible) in terms of (unintelligible) stand for questions, take comments (unintelligible). Rountree: Questions for Steve? De Weerd: Mr. President? Rountree: Madam Mayor. De Weerd: I guess, Steve, we did talk to the Commissioner Tillman at lunch today and he said that the reason that Dave can't really do anything with his presentation is they have told him no on his -- his proposed increase and told him that -- to go back to the drawing board and bring them back other information, so -- and when pressed to give me an idea of a date I didn't get one. In fact, he was really good at not answering my question. Sedlacek: (Unintelligible). De Weerd: But I do know that they are in the process of trying to recalibrate the load that is going up to the landfill right now is significantly reduced and that's why they are telling him go back to the drawing board and let's refigure your strategy, so -- Sedlacek: Right. And I don't want (unintelligible) people have the choice to control (unintelligible) but I don't think that (unintelligible) you know, the background noise (unintelligible) and how do we manage that. (Unintelligible). Hoaglun: Question. Rountree: Brad. Hoaglun: Some of the things I heard, Steve, probably want you to reiterate, because I think there is some confusion out there. One is the fact that if we go to this new system there is no can rental, that does go away for people. I notice some people seem still confused. They think they still -- the rates will change, we will go to the new system, and they still have to rent a can and that's not true. Is that correct? Sedlacek: Correct. Yes. Part of the reason (unintelligible) Imean the rate structure (unintelligible) that's a 95 gallon (unintelligible) there is no other rental charge (urintelligible) just one rate (unintelligible). Hoaglun: And also, Mr. President and Steve, if they take a -- say a 64 gallon can and they have some grass clippings they want to put in there and they can still close the lid, Meridian City Council Special Workshop Meeting May 19, 2009 Page 10 of 33 it doesn't prohibit them from putting that yard waste or leaves or anything else in that can and having it disposed of, as long as the lid closes; is that right? Sedlacek; Correct. And we (unintelligible) you know, we are going to issue (unintelligible). Hoaglun: Mr. President, last question on this is if you're looking at doing an implementation in the spring of next year, what -- what is the deadline -- because you would have costs and planning and different things, when does the decision need to be made? Sedlacek: The decision (unintelligible) Ican get trucks fairly (unintelligible) we are probably looking (unintelligible) let's say (unintelligible) we are not manually lifting (unintelligible). So, let's say that's April 1st. Yeah. October 1st (unintelligible) we didn't get the .rate structure until late -- very late and it was an election year, so maybe it will be better this year. (Unintelligible) so I think that it's time (unintelligible) could you implement the (unintelligible) that's possible now you would still be in a system where you (unintelligible). Rountree: Steve, I need you to clarify those dates and I think you answered Brad's question, but I'm not sure. What's your timing if we are to move forward with commingled that you need an action on our part? Sedlacek: If you would like (unintelligible) and we will get it implemented Rountree: Okay. Sedlacek: What I think the (unintelligible). Rountree: Okay. Sedlacek: But we can move quickly towards that. Rountree: Okay. Sedlacek: The bigger (unintelligible). Rountree: Thank you. Any other questions? I have got a couple here, Steve. The composting concept in my mind, if we move this direction, is the right thing to do, but the fundamentals of that is if we can compost it, I suspect the city is going to want to compost some of the other materials at the wastewater treatment plant in the same process and at that point in time when the finished product is generated, is there an outlet for it? That's been a problem in the past that you create a usable by-product, if you will, but there is no market for it. Meridian City Council Special Workshop Meeting May 19, 2009 Page 11 of 33 Sedlacek: Part of the consulting study did look at people selling compost (unintelligible) and this is material that we would (unintelligible) presumably you should get more money for it, but you're still (unintelligible) you're going to have to go down to the lowest (unintelligible). So, I think it is (unintelligible) Idon't know (unintelligible). Rountree: I guess I'm concerned -- Sedlacek: I'm concerned about that, too. I think (unintelligible) not based on how much you can sell the material for. I don't think (unintelligible). Rountree: I'm not even thinking about selling, I'm thinking can we even give it away. Sedlacek: Oh, sure. De Weerd: I would take it. Sedlacek: You're going to have a lot of it. De Weerd: Not all of it. Just enough for my garden. Sedlacek: I'm sure Mr. Siddoway (unintelligible) his share. But you're right. Rountree: It's a big volume. Bird: You're talking about volume. Sedlacek: (Unintelligible). Rountree: The other question -- and it's fundamental to the first phase of this if we go there, is the commingling. Now there is a process to handle the commingled recyclables. If at some point in time that even becomes noneconomic, where do we go? And the other aspect of the commingle -- and you brought up glass -- and I know we don't recycle glass, nor does anybody else in the state, but it is an issue and there will probably be folks that are going to say, well, this is recyclable and I'm going to stick it in the can and that gums up the works in the processing plant of the commingled waste. So, to me they are one and the same, but what happens if we lose the commingled separation facility? Sedlacek: I would (unintelligible) he can talk to you about long term markets and market values (unintelligible). Rountree: That's all I know. Sedlacek: Do that real quickly. Rountree: Rick, if you would just state your name for the record, so we can -- Meridian City Council Special Workshop Meeting May 19, 2009 Page 12 of 33 Callahan: Rick Callahan. Rountree: Thank you. Callahan: (Unintelligible) our markets are (unintelligible) we get the proverbial (unintelligible). Our company has been around for a long time (unintelligible) we never have problems (unintelligible) you know, our plans are submitted (unintelligible) and as far as (unintelligible) you know, hopefully, it's (unintelligible) it's funny, because I have been (unintelligible) machines are running (unintelligible). That's just something that (unintelligible) try to see eliminate (unintelligible) there really are none at this point in time and we don't have (unintelligible) and, then, secondly, (unintelligible). Rountree: Thank you. Callahan: I hope that helps. Rountree: It did. And some more -- and I was to going to ask you about glass, but you took care of that as well. Thank you. Any other comments or questions for Steve? Zaremba: Mr. President? Rountree: Dave. Zaremba: I would say that last bit is probably good news. If I recall the meeting that I attended you seemed to think that the commingled recycling was going to have to be trucked to someplace in Oregon. So, this is good news. Sedlacek: Yeah. There is (unintelligible) until then I (unintelligible) so we hope (unintelligible). Rountree: Thank you, Steve. We did advertise this -- this meeting tonight to take public comments, not public testimony. The process I think that we will be following is to have an opportunity for the public to comment this evening and through the 16th of next month and we will, then, schedule a public hearing on the 23rd of June and at that point we will finalize the decision and direction that we want to give our provider here. At this point I will open up the meeting for those who wish to make a public comment and I would request that you be succinct when you tell us something, when you leave the podium we understand where you're coming from, and we will probably give you about three minutes. And maybe a little more beings we don't have an audience full of folks like we anticipated we would. So, whomever wants to be first, please, come up to the podium and we will welcome your comments. Seeing none, but some folks that are interested in this topic, I hope, thank you for being here. It is not a public hearing, so I don't have to close a public hearing. Steve, do you have any other comments? And, then, I'm going to ask the Council to muse a little bit on the topic some more and maybe provide you a little more direction. Meridian City Council Special Workshop Meeting May 19, 2009 Page 13 of 33 De Weerd: Mr. President? Rountree: Madam Mayor. De Weerd: I guess just to reiterate, if you have comments get those back to us by the 16th of June and they will be considered as Council makes their decision on how we move forward or if we continue as is. Rountree: My comment at this point -- Steve, thank you for the effort you and your staff have gone to to do this, so you have done an outstanding job. You have responded extremely well to the public. I know you now recognize you don't necessarily want to be in our shoes, but you're to be commended for the effort that you have undertaken. It's been a quality effort. Appreciate it. Any other comments or guidance that we might throw out there? We aren't making a decision, but is there -- are there some things that you're interested in pursuing that Steve mentioned or not pursuing? Zaremba: Mr. President, I would just comment on -- I guess my assessment of the meeting that I attended and that is that those that came to the meeting and the comments that they made seemed to be receptive and understanding of the idea that this is another one of those things that may need to change, because the city has grown. The way that we were doing it is -- is becoming difficult. If we keep doing it the same way it will become much more expensive I'm sure and I felt that people understood and, essentially, supported the idea that this was being looked into. The typical questions that were brought up is, okay, how much is this going to cost me and where do I put the container. But I felt that even those questions were asked in a receptive and positive manner. So, if you're looking for guidance from me, I would say move forward with it. Hoaglun: Just a quick comment, Mr. President. I do like the idea at the meeting I attended -- someone said that was the first time they had heard it. Maybe not. But about doing the recycling first, because that way that will allow people -- we encourage recycling, we get that waste stream out, it's not going to the landfill and, then, people can see what size garbage can they, then, can utilize. And I think that's -- that's a great way to go about that, if we move forward with both systems. And just the other comment I have is both from your company's perspective and from the city's side of things, we are going to have to do a good deal of education to the public about this. I mean that's just -- when you have change like this, if the Council decides, yes, let's move forward with this, boy, that's change and that's always hard, because people have habits and we will just have to make sure they know what's going to, how to do it, and why we are doing it and, then, if we move forward it's -- it's a lot easier. So, that's all I have. Rountree: My comment is that I'm a user pay guy and I think that the philosophy of the more you use the more you pay is a right way to go. I have always thought that we certainly have folks that take advantage of -- you can put 14 cans out on the curb every Meridian City Council Special Workshop Meeting May 19, 2009 Page 14 of 33 week and the guy next door puts out a small white plastic bag full of a handful of things and paying the same rate. I like the idea that you have come up with, the phase in, if we move forward, to go with the recycling first, that brings people an understanding of what the automation is about and how easy it can be, I think it will increase recycling. It won't affect rates, which is always a good thing, though, there will be rate increases, not necessarily because of that. The only hesitancy I have is that if we do move forward with automation, I think that the Council ought to make a complete decision and not have one dependant on the other. If we are going to do it, let's say we are going to do it, but we will schedule it over a period of time. And it appears that the -- the comments that you have received is about a two to one very favorable for most of the affects of this program. From an economic standpoint I believe it's the way to go. We see nothing but continued rate increases to get rid of the volume that's generated here. If we can do anything to at least reduce those increases, I believe that's our job. And all the other spin-off benefits that come from this program. So, I hope that we will get more comments over the next three weeks and, hopefully, Steve, when you do come back and we do have a public hearing on this process, you have got a little finer point on some of the -- the real nagging questions in terms of how much it's going to cost and I know you're going to have to do some crystal ball gazing to come up with those numbers, but we will have to have a basis from which to make a decision in those areas. I don't think we can do it on -- well, it's going to be about this, it's going to be this based on these assumptions and, then, you will have to develop a model to do that. De Weerd: Mr. President? Rountree: Madam Mayor. De Weerd: You know, our office has heard from some of the citizens that realize that the user pay basis is a best model and that many of them have come from areas that don't have this unlimited garbage type of opportunity, I guess you could say, and so they realize that as a e as a public we have to be more frugal in how we dispose of our waste and how we better utilize our precious resources. So, there is -- there is reluctance to the change, because change is difficult, but there is also greater understanding, too, what it means for our environment for the long term and those kind of things. I did think, too, that if Council decides to move forward with this on the commingling and the every other month or every other week, in identifying that and also identifying what is recyclable as a sticker for your can that reminds someone every time they put something in there what is recyclable and what isn't, like you had on your presentation, no glass, you know, I got that hint in your presentation. But also if you're buying tags for your bags, you may have a different tag for your composting material or your grass clippings and your yard waste that maybe, then, that is a way you can pay for that composting idea. So, just another idea for when you come back and give concluding remarks at the end of the public commenting and -- for consideration. Rountree: Any other comments? Seeing none, Steve, and your folks, thank you. Look forward to hearing from you again on the 23rd. Meridian City Council Special Workshop Meeting May 19, 2009 Page 15 of 33 G. Update from Ada County Landfill Rountree: Next item on the agenda is the -- actually, it was Ada County Landfill. They would not be able to be here this evening. H. CDBG-Recovery Act, Proposed Project Update Rountree: So, the next one will be CDBG Recovery Act. De Weerd: It's easy for you to say. Rountree: That's really easy for anybody to say. Proposed project update. Matt -- and I understand we have some changes that have come about possibly. Ellsworth: Mr. President, Members of the Council, Madam Mayor, that's correct. Brief little bit of background. If you will recall on April 21st City Council opened a public comment period and public hearing on two concurrent action plan amendments that we are going to move forward along the same schedule. One was for the 2007 CDBG action plan and the other was for the 2008. The reason for the 2008 is because that's the way that ultimately the feds are going to wind up tracking the stimulus injection into the CDBG pool that we will draw from. So, the initial project that was proposed for use of those CDBG stimulus dollars was for improvements in Centennial Park. Playground equipment, game tables, things of that nature. After reviewing the guidelines that were recently released by HUD, staff -- staff was a bit concerned that that project didn't -- didn't fall directly in line with the intent of the stimulus package. So, took a step back at that point and took a look at what other projects may meet the intents of both the CDBG program, as well as the intent and the related regulations and parameters of the stimulus program and it was somewhat of a tough exercise, because, again, you have two -- two at times overlapping different program slash bills, but finding that middle ground where you can fit a project within the budget you're working with proves to be somewhat of a challenging endeavor. The possible project that I was able to identify is one that's actually originally proposed for use of the broader stimulus funds and that is construction of the 8th Street pathway over the recently installed culvert that -- that spans over the Five Mile Creek. In the brief little write up that I handed out it gives a nod to the fact that that project is shovel ready and has the necessary environmental clearances. So, it's good for the requirements associated with the stimulus bill and that it's implementable, it can move relatively quickly. The one snag in that is similar to the Centennial Park proposed improvements to remain compliant with the requirements associated with CDBG it will require an income survey. So, the time lines, regardless of those projects, would have been the same. The question becomes what to do to get from where we are to where we would want to be if that -- if that project that staff identified is perceived as a viable option and that's the direction the Council gives. I touched base with the deputy city attorney, as well as the planning director, after reviewing the guidelines from Housing and Urban Development and what we came up with is, again, on April 21st we opened an amendment to the 2008 CDBG action plan and that amendment proposed adding a new project to that plan. So, of course, there Meridian City Council Special Workshop Meeting May 19, 2009 Page 16 of 33 was one project at first -- if you wanted to view the guidelines that were received by HUD as the only comment we have received so far, then, basically, what that comment indicated is that the originally proposed project does not fit within the broader scope of the funds that we are working with and the city needs to identify a different project in order to use those funds. That being the case, the deputy city attorney felt that it -- it was okay with the letter of the law to move the currently proposed amendment to the CDBG action plan forward as scheduled. Again, that public comment period opened on the 21st. It was originally scheduled to conclude on May 26th. However, sort of the second step in the possible course of action here would be to delay the conclusion of that public hearing from May 26th to June 2nd. This is a shift, it's a different project that we are proposing for now including in the 2008 action plan. It's something they warrant the additional time to soak in for the public and to provide ample opportunity for people to provide comment should they -- should they see fit. Third, staff -- again, the effort of getting word out to folks that this change would be occurring is in compliance with the city's adopted citizen participation plan. Copies of that amendment are currently out for review at the Meridian Senior Center, the Meridian Public Library, they are available here at City Hall, and the city clerk's office. What staff could do is write an accompanying memo spelling out the situation, explaining the changes that are on the table and allowing folks to soak it in that way. That would be in addition to a public notice identifying the same that staff could publish in both the Valley Times and the Idaho Statesman coming up on Monday, the 25th, here. Again, just sort of identifying very briefly the rational for the change, what the change entails, and informing the public about how they can provide comments on it. So, again, in this write up there is a draft notice to the public. There is a map about the proposed new project that would be the subject of amendment to the '08 CDBG action plan. So, the direction that I'm seeking this evening is as Council's input and direction on the proposed course of action based on the information that came to light from HUD guidelines. Rountree: Comments? De Weerd: I support it. Rountree: Matt, I'm okay with what you have proposed. I think it's a way to go. Can we switch those projects, move the one that we were anticipating that doesn't qualify to the other grant and move this one forward, since it's shovel ready and meets all the federal requirements? Ellsworth: Mr. President, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, that's a good question. That's something that I left out and the short answer is that, yes, you know, again, with the stimulus CDBG funds you really need to find a project that meets the intent of both. If we are to remove the improvement to Centennial Park from the stimulus pool of funding, it aligns very well and very cleanly with the more conventional annual allocation from HUD. So, moving forward for the next couple months, getting back to the annual entitlement that the city receives, staffs working right now to gather comments and begin the process for drafting next year's action plan, the 2009 action plan, and that's something that I will be back with over the course of the summer for Meridian City Council Special Workshop Meeting May 19, 2009 Page 17 of 33 Council's direction on. But certainly an eligible project -- excuse me -- certainly an eligible project and one that's worth Council's consideration would be those improvements to Centennial Park. Rountree: And is the June 2nd date a statutory timing or is that arbitrary on our part? Ellsworth: Mr. President, Members of Council, it's not arbitrary. The deadline that is set for entitlement communities to submit these action plan amendments is June 5th. So, in order to meet their timeline, the city would need to take action on the proposed amendment at the regularly scheduled June 2nd Council meeting, after which we could forward that amendment onto HUD for their review. Rountree: I guess my question is could we take that same action on the 26th and through a public notice on bulletin boards in the post office and that sort of thing, be compliant with the public notification and comment period? I know it's short, but is there a requirement of the certain time or a certain methodology? Ellsworth: Mr. President, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, the -- the typical process for an action plan amendment requires the 30 day public comment period. Now, some of the guidelines that HUD wound up handing down, based on the tighter timelines that come along with stimulus program, condensed that mandatory public comment period down to seven days. So, seven days from today, next Tuesday, if the calendar falls out and in that way, then, yes, we could. If staff were to get information out first thing in the morning and -- I may give a quick glance over to the city attorney to make sure that that is acceptable. But I assume, yeah, we would still be compliant with HUD guidelines if we were to keep it on track to wrap up coming up here on May 26. Rountree: Well, if we -- if our timing is okay with a second, there is no sense of rushing, but if it's -- if a few days after a decision were necessary, moving it back to the 26th might be something we want to consider. And I take it from staff if they might need some more time, other than three days. Ellsworth: Mr. President, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, the reason that I propose initially that June 2nd date was to allow more time for it to soak in for the public. Based on past experience that the city's had with these public comment periods, we haven't exactly had an overwhelming amount of comments come in on a lot of these -- these projects. So, the additional week may or may not generate additional public feedback and in case anything does come up and, then, certainly staff would appreciate the additional time. But that's sort of the direction that I'm before you requesting this evening. If you feel that's a more appropriate way to go, that's the way we will go. Rountree: Very good. Thank you. Any other comments? Questions? Direction? Bird: Go for it. Meridian City Council Special Workshop Meeting May 19, 2009 Page 18 of 33 Rountree: Do you want to try for the 26th and give us a week's cushion there? I see a lot of heads shaking. If that's doable and we are compliant, let's try for it. If we are not, then, the second would be fine. But for right now we will calendar it for the 26th and notice accordingly. Ellsworth: Thank you, Mr. President. Item 5: Department Reports: A. Parks Department Strategic Focus Discussion Rountree: Thank you. Next item on the agenda is the Parks Department, Strategic Focus. Steve. Siddoway: Thank you, Mr. President. It looks like the Powerpoint got closed. Let me just open it up and, then, I will move up to the center there. While it's opening let me just express some appreciation to Matt Ellsworth for his efforts toward the CDBG grant program. We as a department are certainly beneficiaries of his efforts and we definitely appreciate that. Rountree: Before you start, my question for you on that particular project is how did we get it shovel ready? Who was working on that? Siddoway: We actually got that ready last fall. Rountree: Okay. Siddoway: And we submitted it this last winter as a potential transportation stimulus -- Rountree: Okay. Siddoway: -- project, but didn't receive that one. But it is ready to go. Rountree: Great. Good job. Siddoway: Thank you, Mr. President, Madam Mayor. We have had a few of these (unintelligible) for parks and recreation. It's my hope that you will come away (unintelligible) some of the value that we have for the City of Meridian. Our mission statement (unintelligible) enhance the community quality (unintelligible) by providing well designed and properly maintained parks (unintelligible) this mission statement of ours fits into the (unintelligible) strategic plan in several ways. This is the mission statement of the city and I (unintelligible) areas that I think (unintelligible) play a small role in (unintelligible) it talks about being a city with open spaces and providing various (unintelligible) and that Meridian (unintelligible) certainly the lifestyle (unintelligible) help make it that premier place (unintelligible) this is our current map of the city (unintelligible) Ishow it, because I just want (unintelligible) as well as the type. We have Meridian City Council Special Workshop Meeting May 19, 2009 Page 19 of 33 a variety of (unintelligible) and smaller and you can see that rather than having (unintelligible) they are spread out across. Now, if you add to that pathway system, much of (unintelligible) we have a disconnected pathway system (unintelligible) certainly are receiving (unintelligible) here is some statistics for you on our parks (unintelligible) a park land you will see the breakdown there (unintelligible) we also have a secondary (unintelligible) in addition to the (unintelligible) things like that that we contract there we also have (unintelligible) the existing developed population estimate (unintelligible) we are proposing that we have left (unintelligible) the additional ones (unintelligible) and this is park land (unintelligible) starting out with Storey Park years ago, in the last decade (unintelligible) start rolling to where we currently have over 180 acres of (unintelligible) double that (unintelligible) these are some of the trends that we have (unintelligible) with that each of the colors (unintelligible) it looks lower, because we have (unintelligible) but if you compare the (unintelligible) you can see that this year we are (unintelligible) registration and we are on track to exceed last year (unintelligible). Ft7edman: I'll help you, Steve. Siddoway: Okay. This one shows our (unintelligible) and they also (unintelligible) you our registration (unintelligible) the recreation classes that you have to (unintelligible) if you, then, compare this with this one, we are (unintelligible). So, I think we are on track when we were (unintelligible) 2008. We are still only about (unintelligible) spring, summer guide (unintelligible). So, this is our staff. We are, basically, divided into two separate divisions. We also have (unintelligible) we have three that are year around and, then, the rest are (unintelligible) seasonal (unintelligible) and one seasonal office. Our administrative staff (unintelligible) we have got two (unintelligible) and myself. The total, again (unintelligible) our total employee (unintelligible) for providing the (unintelligible) you should be familiar with (unintelligible) five different cogs of the wheel (unintelligible) that addressed in these areas. The first is that (unintelligible) creating diversity and (unintelligible) both below (unintelligible) currently involved in the Meridian (unintelligible) and verify it (unintelligible) we don't have any (unintelligible) Gordon Hams Park, we have a grand opening (unintelligible) and we have been planning on (unintelligible) we are checking with the Harris family and see if we can push that maybe to 4:30 (unintelligible) come and participate. The Harris family does have a family wedding the next day June 6th, so (unintelligible) they should have a good showing at that (unintelligible). Adventure Island Playground nearing its (unintelligible) we have a commemoration ceremony (unintelligible) playground over the last (unintelligible) June 13th. (Unintelligible) Settlers Village Square is the tennis courts (unintelligible) pits and our (unintelligible). So, it is now good reviews and really (unintelligible) the improvements that we have talked about previously, playground, shelters, concession stand, (unintelligible) that project (unintelligible) and should be ready to go out to bid (unintelligible) in full swing for (unintelligible) we are working rapidly (unintelligible) once the Commission has a chance to (unintelligible) and, then, the last (unintelligible) the work that we have been (unintelligible) regional park. The next goal is (unintelligible) vision of (unintelligible) at building that sense of community, It's more than (unintelligible) what builds that (unintelligible) every night in June. We have the Bam Sour Run (unintelligible) I'm sorry the Bam Sour Run is (unintelligible) and the Meridian City Council Special Workshop Meeting May 19, 2009 Page 20 of 33 Christmas tree lighting in December. We also support (unintelligible) and encourage by this (unintelligible) we have been working on an update (unintelligible) approved a couple weeks ago. We have coordination and planning (unintelligible) grant item (unintelligible) we have got 8th Street (unintelligible) phase one recently (unintelligible) and, then, you have seen the pathway (unintelligible) to the east. And that's one that we are focused on (unintelligible). The next one is to provide (unintelligible) see a photograph of our (unintelligible). We have (unintelligible) and then where it from here. Next part (unintelligible) by finance, we are going to (unintelligible). Now, in meetings with (unintelligible) get the last name here. (Unintelligible). But one thing that I wanted to do (unintelligible) and really take a look at (unintelligible) and if you base that on (unintelligible) 400 acres, which we have taken our current (unintelligible) we are starting to get close to and I also (unintelligible) part of that (unintelligible) which has not been (unintelligible) have got a solid (unintelligible). The next goal or objective underneath (unintelligible) are our services. We do several out reach presentations and celebrations that (unintelligible), but I do have a (unintelligible). De Weerd: (Unintelligible) final draft. Siddoway: Our first parks and recreation (unintelligible). There is (unintelligible) parks and recreation committee (unintelligible) and their committee has been focusing (unintelligible) and I provided (unintelligible) look it over and see if you are happy with the layout and get any comments back to us (unintelligible). I have already given one (unintelligible) and a hand out of (unintelligible) part of the information (unintelligible). The next overarching goal (unintelligible) and under that one I have provided (unintelligible) we have softball (unintelligible) with volleyball leagues with (unintelligible) dodge ball (unintelligible) and as noted previously. We will also support (unintelligible) programs (unintelligible) and others throughout the community. The next part of the (unintelligible) under good shape (unintelligible) under that one we are (unintelligible) provide training (unintelligible) making sure that people within the department have the ability to (unintelligible) as a career opportunity. Those part of organizational excellence update our ordinance and policies. That's probably a longer term goal that (unintelligible) and, then, customer service (unintelligible) and we do have great (unintelligible) customer service (unintelligible) HR department and provide customer service training (unintelligible) stewardship of the public trust and part of that stewardship daily (unintelligible) is one that comes to mind. We also (unintelligible) I believe that (unintelligible) and finally (unintelligible) all of you should have a couple of items (unintelligible) from our survey the bar graph on there (unintelligible) throughout the year (unintelligible) park and recreation items (unintelligible) and while I wouldn't go through (unintelligible) the majority of the people who come on our (unintelligible) come and participate (unintelligible) and the next to the bullet (unintelligible) but the majority (unintelligible) is over 60 percent. Said that they (unintelligible) one of the things that we heard about was (unintelligible) one of the questions we asked was about with current (unintelligible) that you would like to see and a couple of things that came out pretty strongly on that (unintelligible) but another was growing (unintelligible) and that's something that we hoped to add to our amenities sometime soon. You have both the (unintelligible) there is a -- there are several (unintelligible). Meridian City Council Special Workshop Meeting May 19, 2009 Page 21 of 33 Bird: Yes, we did. Siddoway: But we (unintelligible) based on (unintelligible) and they helped us put together an overview of the (unintelligible). So, the second (unintelligible) that our commission is (unintelligible) it's really helpful. We had over 400 people (unintelligible) not a truly (unintelligible) our parks and recreation commission has been very engaged over this past year (unintelligible) and the engagement that I have seen over the past year is phenomenal. I'm not going to spend (unintelligible) our commission president (unintelligible), but let me just say that (unintelligible) structure has really proven to be engaging and helpful (unintelligible) in the last few months organization of the city that wanted to know how we structure our commission, because they wanted to (unintelligible) what they want to do (unintelligible). A few of our recent accomplishments (unintelligible) wanted to point out (unintelligible) incident out there, which was a tremendous improvement (unintelligible) Settlers Village Square mentioned in that project (unintelligible) and, then, last year received (unintelligible) playground last summer we also (unintelligible) information last week (unintelligible). So, we would encourage folks to get online and vote (unintelligible). And, then, at the Idaho (unintelligible) we have several challenges (unintelligible) but to name a few (unintelligible), but at the same time (unintelligible). How many of you have heard that (unintelligible) and look for things to do (unintelligible) at the same time focusing on (unintelligible) we also have challenges to prepare for a new park opening. With that I will end and stand for any (unintelligible). Rountree: Any comments, questions? Bird: Mr. President? Rountree: Mr. Bird. Bird: Steve, I want to compliment your whole department on -- on the way we have grown and got our recreation programs going. I had the opportunity to watch a lot of the mens and womens basketball. Very well run. Very well participated in. I am very happy with our programs that we have got going and I know we are working on it. After talking to you I'm a little disappointed in the after school thing at the middle school. I really am. I thought that thing would take off, you know. I thought it was a very good deal. And as you stated, if we save one kid I guess it's worth the money, but -- Siddoway: Yeah. Our numbers are about double this year from what they were last year. (Unintelligible). Bird: I just -- I just want to compliment you and your staff for the -- the parks are kept clean and your programs are ran very good, the ones I have been able to watch, and I am (unintelligible) at my age I don't play, I watch. De Weerd: Mr. President? Meridian City Council Special Workshop Meeting May 19, 2009 Page 22 of 33 Rountree: Madam Mayor. De Weerd: I guess since three of us sitting up here were on the original parks commission, you as our liaison, Mr. President, but things have really changed over the last 13 years and it's exciting. to see. I think I -- did you note that we are having the movie night in a magazine -- in City and County magazine? Siddoway: I didn't (unintelligible) we did get. (Unintelligible). De Weerd: Yeah. And so -- Siddoway: (Unintelligible). De Weerd: Yeah. You know, I know that Steve wanted to kind of get a better definition of success and, you know, it was my comment back to him was when others want to replicate what you're doing or, you know, they -- they give notice to the programs and the quality and I think people are really taking notice and I appreciate Mr. Bird's comments. I know that this department has taken great strides and particularly I'm really proud of the commission and how they have stepped up and engaged and I have been hopeful for that citizen engagement for a number of years and it's really happening and you can see that and the things that are coming out of the commission and the involvement and you're to be commended to that, too. You have engaged them and empowered them and I think that's why they are stepping up, because they know they are more than just being talked at now and so I appreciate your leadership, Steve. I think you have done a great job. You and your staff. Siddoway: (Unintelligible). Zaremba: Mr. President? Rountree: Mr. Zaremba. Zaremba: Thank you for the excellent presentation. I would just add one small example of things that go well with the things that you do. I happened to be able to stop by the free fishing day and I actually was there late as it was winding down, but it was very exciting. There were a lot of people there participating. In addition to the kids that were having a lot of fun, it looked like the adults were having a lot of fun. I was thrilled to see that you had participation of the Kiwanis people. They were very involved. It was nice to see some fire department people there. The sheriffs department was out there with their rescue boat. They didn't have to launch it in the pond, but it was just great to see the participation. You mentioned volunteers being helpful and it appeared to me that the way that that was put together was just a beautiful operation and it's typical of all the things that you seem to be doing. So, I appreciate it. Siddoway: That's a good example (unintelligible). Meridian City Council Special Workshop Meeting May 19, 2009 Page 23 of 33 De Weerd: Meridian's Promise. Siddoway: Meridian's Promise. Bird: Mr. President? Rountree: Mr. Bird. Bird: Could I add something that I -- that skipped over my head before. You know, when we set up the parks and recreation commission and the three of us were on the first group of it, we kind of looked up to the parks and recreation commission of Boise to kind of get how we wanted it. I want to tell you in the last probably four years our commission I think has went one above Boise's. I am absolutely amazed at what the commission and their committees are doing and the amount of people they have involved I am very proud of and I -- it shows how our parks and recreation has grown, the job they are doing. Hoaglun: Mr. President, just a quick comment. My thanks to Steve, your staff, the commission members for the great work that you do. I mean when people think of quality of life in a community, I mean parks is one of those things that rank right up there and we do have great parks. We know it. The surveys show it. And even the fact, you know, you notice the one thing that why don't they use the parks more, it's lack of time, but where folks know that, you know, if I had time I could go to the park and it's a great place to be, it's a wonderful park, that adds to that level of satisfaction. The only down side is our parks are so popular -- I have to ask you this question, because I ran into this question by some people outside the city, it was discussion they had about Settlers Park and that was parking. It's great, because it's being used, but what's the plan for parking for Settlers? Do you have anything that's going to happen there or what do you have on the plate? Siddoway: Well, it's the -- we do have (unintelligible) we have available parking -- spaces still available (unintelligible) Fuller Park. Rountree: Thank you. Siddoway: And also (unintelligible) so we are doing (unintelligible) regarding Settlers Park (unintelligible) consider west of the ball field (unintelligible). But that's long tens. And, then, of course, the (unintelligible). We are doing what we can, but (unintelligible) I don't think we are ever going to be fully (unintelligible). Hoaglun: Right. And, Mr. President, I did drive by there one Saturday and a lot was going on and I did notice on Meridian Road on the east side there was parking available, but towards the ball fields people wanted to be as close as possible and if they can -- you know, they didn't have to be parking on the street and whatnot, but, you know, if you have challenges that's the type of challenge you want to have, because, Meridian City Council Special Workshop Meeting May 19, 2009 Page 24 of 33 you know, people are using it, they enjoy it, they like it, it's a wonderful amenity to the city, so -- De Weerd: Mr. President? Rountree: Madam Mayor. De Weerd: And I know Steve has been looking at where additional parking could be placed as additional amenities are added. Certainly as you look at the additional tennis courts, as you add amenities you're going to add additional park traffic and he has been looking at those things. Certainly I know when we approved the design of this there was -- we did anticipate that elementary school would be in there and that parking would also be available as overFlow. So, there were a number of discussions along that, but just as we had the issues at Heroes Park, PAL stepped up and worked with the neighborhood and we found good resolution there. That's happening with all the stakeholders in this group as well and, hopefully, we will find some -- something that works for the neighbors, as well as the park users, because it was anticipated that there would be parking in that neighborhood. I believe that was part of the discussion. That's why we limited parking on one side and we just need some minor or major tweaking. Not sure, but the discussion is being -- is currently underway. Siddoway: (Unintelligible). Bird: Mr. President? Rountree: Mr. Bird. Bird: Getting back to that parking, I don't think they -- have they done anything with that property that the school goes to? Siddoway: No. Bird: That's just sitting as a field, isn't it? Siddoway: It is. Bird: Is there any way we could talk to the school district and just go in there and -- with a blade and blade it down and roll it and let it be used for parking, because Ihate -- I hate to see any activities not be used because of parking. Siddoway: Right. Bird: Because that's what we got -- that's what we built those parks for is for our people and you hit it right on the head, Steve, there is more stay at home people now with this economy the way there is. The speedway has noticed more attendance last year and I'm sure they are seeing more this year because of it. So, I don't want to see us have to Meridian City Council Special Workshop Meeting May 19, 2009 Page 25 of 33 cut back on any activities because of parking, so -- I mean at least we clean the area up by just blading it off and let people park on it. Siddoway: And we just have to look at (unintelligible) what we can do with city code (unintelligible). Bird: (Unintelligible). Siddoway: (Unintelligible). Bird: Yeah. Thank you, Steve. Zaremba: Mr. President? Rountree: David. Zaremba: This is not immediate, but I would comment that the Meridian Transportation Task Force is undertaking an exercise jointly with Valley Regional Transit. It's kind of a what if scenario at the moment. If we had a bus system, public transportation in Meridian, where would it go and one of the principal places that we have listed is it needs to stop at the major parks. Bird: That's right. Zaremba: There are a lot of other things as well, but certainly at some point the parks need to be served by our public transportation system. Rountree: Steve, thank you for the update and appreciate what you're doing in terms of visioning and your goals. The Mayor brings back a lot of memories back to the days of the impact fee committee and the initiation of the park commission and they are light years ahead of where I think we anticipated they would be and I know the city is in terms of what we have accomplished in parks. So, that's great. A couple points to your presentation. I think where you're going with the CIP is right on. I think that's the right approach. May not be realistic, but it's at least the right approach and a place to start and it gives us an opportunity to set (unintelligible) to try to accomplish that. We do have the park -- or the pathway master plan. I have had several people approach me about, well, does the city have a map of the pathways that are there. We pack up our bikes and take them to Boise to ride and I know there aren't any really great links, but there is a number of pathways having -- I mean I have been a cyclist all my life, I can find where to ride a bike and avoid traffic or ride in traffic, it doesn't matter to me, but, anyway, there is lots of places and it seems to me that if you could put together a map of pathways that exist and the designated bike lanes in the city that can pull those pieces together and get people -- and I can ride from Black Cat to Locust Grove and not be on a major street, ever be out of a subdivision, and be as direct and as probably fewer miles than if I got in my car and did it. So, there are ways to do it. So, I think that Meridian City Council Special Workshop Meeting May 19, 2009 Page 26 of 33 would be just a handout, because the master plan pathway piece is kind of confusing to people. Well, you know, you got all this plan -- De Weerd: A lot of lines. Rountree: -- how do I make it fit together and while it doesn't fit together now, but, anyway, just something that's -- we have -- what we can do now and I think that would be handy and I hate to see people have to load up their bikes and go someplace else to find a casual bike ride. You asked about comments on this thing. That's a nice piece, but it points out something that we need to do and that's looking at fees and fee structures. I'm not sure you put people out in the parks to count noses at these shelters on shelter events that if there is more than 150 people you collect an additional 15 dollars. I don't think you do that and I think we ought to take a look at that particular fee structure and there is probably a whole lot of others, but that pointed it out immediately. Because it's going to cost us more than that to go count noses. De Weerd: Your tum should be coming up soon. We've kind of been rotating. Rountree: Yeah. Been doing that. And you know my pet peeve. But I would like to see that as a stated sub goal of your park maintenance and that's the complete eradication of goat head in this community. De Weerd: Amen. Siddoway: Amen. Rountree: I mean it is really tough on the cyclist. But, you know, it's tough on shoes. It's tough on folks that may not have the best shoe on our park paths and/or our community paths, sidewalks, etc. It's tough on dogs feet. I mean it's not a friendly bit of vegetation and it's tough to get rid of, but if -- we got to get a handle on it. It's getting away in some spots. So, if every park person and maybe all the enforcement people have a quart squirt bottle of Roundup at their disposal when they see one they can squirt it -- we need to get rid of it before it takes over some areas. In fact, I know some areas it has taken over. That's just a pet peeve. I haven't been by the addition -- the tennis courts and the horseshoe pits in the last couple days, but they look tremendous. You know, what agreat -- great facility. We have got probably the premier horseshoe pit set up -- De Weerd: In the country. Rountree: -- I would say in the country. I mean if you don't get some tournaments there in the next two or three years something's wrong. Siddoway: We actually held a tournament (unintelligible). Rountree: Well, Imean -- Meridian City Council Special Workshop Meeting May 19, 2009 Page 27 of 33 Siddoway: (Unintelligible). Rountree: Yeah. And the tennis courts look tremendous. I just wish we had the rest of them. But, yeah, that's a good job. But I did have a question. The last time I was by it it looked like they were finishing up the landscaping, but there was a piece between the road, the berm, and the tennis courts and sidewalks that looked unfinished. Did that get put in sod in the last few days? Siddoway: (Unintelligible). Rountree: Okay. Something needs to be done with that, whether it's graveled or whatever. Siddoway: We could even do (unintelligible). Rountree: Yeah. Because that's going to -- that's going to track that dirt and stuff on those courts and I think we need to -- Siddoway: And onto the bike paths. Rountree: And onto the bike paths, because it's going to get a lot of traffic around it. Siddoway: We talked about that exact (unintelligible). Rountree: So, from the -- from the detail to the CIP, those are my comments. But good job, keep up the good work, and let's get to that four acres per thousand. That was our goal when we started this thing with the impact fees and I think it's a terrific goal and once we get there we can reset it. Siddoway: Yeah. Hoaglun: And, Mr. President, you jogged a question I have. It's for ACHD, but Steve might be aware, but a tum lane -- if you're headed east on Ustick Road and there is activities going on and you're headed east, there is a -- when you're coming west there is a right tum lane, which is easy, because, you know, people have a free right, but coming east people have to wait for oncoming traffic and that traffic backs up clear past Fast Eddy's place. Is ACHD going to be putting in a center tum lane anytime soon or are we waiting for development to occur on the other side to get that -- for them to get that land and make that happen? Siddoway: I don't think it's anytime soon (unintelligible). Hoaglun: Right. Meridian City Council Special Workshop Meeting May 19, 2009 Page 28 of 33 Siddoway: -- eventually, but it's on the next few years horizon. I don't think (unintelligible). Hoaglun: Okay. Because one thing that kind of made me scratch my head was the fact that they made room for a right tum lane -- well, you already have a free right -- if you're a single lane you're not holding traffic up that much, they could make that right lane keep going right, move that over to a center lane and, then, have eastbound. But that's -- that's for the traffic engineers, not me, but it just didn't make much sense to have three lanes and make two of them for free right tum. So, that's all I had. Siddoway: Okay. B. Parks Department -Dog Park Naming Rountree: If there is no other comments, let's name a park. Siddoway: Okay. Rountree: Next item. Siddoway: Okay. The park regulation (unintelligible) there has been quite a bit of effort (unintelligible). Anyway, the name (unintelligible). Bird: That's cute. De Weerd: I like it. Siddoway: (Unintelligible). But the recommendation (unintelligible). De Weerd: How boring. Siddoway: And that (unintelligible) anticipation of the (unintelligible). De Weerd: I thought it should be the Bird Bath Park. Bird: I think it should be Tico -- Tico Park. Rountree: Well, that's what -- that's what I was going to say. Trying to relate it to somebody or some event and that's after our significant K-9. Bird: He was our K-9. Rountree: He was our K-9 and probably won't ever been replaced in terms of abilities and skills and whatnot. So, I -- if we are going to memorialize somebody it would be Tico. Meridian City Council Special Workshop Meeting May 19, 2009 Page 29 of 33 Siddoway: That's a (unintelligible). Bird: Dutch is a pup. No. Tico was the first. Siddoway: Tico was the first. Bird: Tico was the one that sold this program. We had -- we had a dog program back in the '70s and they were horrible. They were mean. You didn't want to walk by the cars. And you got to get rid them. And, then, when -- in '98 when this come -- when Tico come on he -- you know, he sold the program, because he was such a great dog. Like Charlie said, he did his job. But he also was public relations and I don't know about your commission, but I'd love to see a Tico Bark Park. De Weerd: Tico Bark Park. Rountree: Tico Bark Park. De Weerd: Mr. President? Rountree: Madam Mayor. De Weerd: I guess we have had the chief involved in the discussion and also did talk about our K-9 cops and if it would be appropriate to name it after one of them and I think he -- we just couldn't find a name that -- that all could agree on or even get excited about, except the Bark Park and that -- and I think that's unique and people will have fun even just saying it. Try saying it three times fast. Rountree: Go ahead. Bird: Meridian's Bark Park. Meridian's Bark Park. Meridian's Bark Park. Siddoway: (Unintelligible). Bird: Mr. President? Rountree: Mr. Bird. Bird: I would agree with that, if that's the commission come up on, and I'm sure they went over it pretty heavy, so -- Rountree: Is that a motion? Bird: I would -- if we need a motion I'd make a motion we name the -- the K-9 facility out there Meridian Bark Park. Hoaglun: Second. Meridian City Council Special Workshop Meeting May 19, 2009 Page 30 of 33 Rountree: It's been moved and seconded to go forward with the recommendation from the parks commission on the Bark Park. All those in favor. Opposed same sign? Motion passes. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Bird: Get your sign made. Rountree: Get your sign made. Siddoway: Okay. Rountree: Thank you. Bird: Thanks, Steve. Zaremba: Mr. President? Rountree: Mr. Zaremba. Zaremba: I would comment that the thought to honor Tico may not necessarily be lost if -- if some day there is a bigger animal shelter facility co-located with maybe a five acre animal park, that might be an appropriate name to suggest for that one. C. Recommended Comments from HPC regarding Cell Phone Tower at 6300 North Meridian Road Rountree: Thank you. Next item on the agenda, Bill, is the comment letter to HPC on the cell tower. Nary: Mr. President, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this one's -- this one's pretty quick. This project went in front of the historic preservation commission last week at their monthly meeting. What was required by the federal government in locating a cell tower, they are required to provide comments from the cities or the surrounding jurisdictions regarding any historical structures. The planning department had already prepared a letter. The HPC reviewed the area. There are no historical structures left in that area, because of development, so there wasn't any additional comments necessary from the commission. Planning Department has provided the letter that was necessary for the federal requirement and we can move forward with that. Rountree: So, no action on our part? Nary: No action is necessary. Meridian City Council Special Workshop Meeting May 19, 2009 Page 31 of 33 D. Budget Amendment for Command Trailer for Fire Department for $28,777.00 Rountree: Okay. Thank you for the update. Any questions? Seeing none, next item. Chief, budget amendment. Anderson: (Unintelligible). Rountree: That one's already signed. Anderson: Good evening. (Unintelligible) if you remember this was something that (unintelligible) and we are just (unintelligible) didn't purchase that until 2009 and so this budget amendment is kind of convoluted, but (unintelligible) we need to do a bunch of (unintelligible) we originally had budgeted 78,000 for that (unintelligible), but when we did our carry forward for part of the money, the operations part of the budget didn't get carried forward and therefore (unintelligible) so there was an additional 9,000 dollars (unintelligible) charged there. So, (unintelligible) impact fees collected by (unintelligible). And with that I will (unintelligible). Rountree: Any questions for chief? Bird: I have none. Rountree: I don't see any. I need a motion. Hoaglun: Mr. President, I move that we approve the budget amendment for an amount of $28,777.24 with that broken out to be funded by 15,049 dollars from the impact fund and 13,729 dollars from the general fund. Bird: Second. Rountree: It's been moved and seconded to approve the budget amendment requested in Item 5-D. Roll call vote. Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea.

I have read the summer 2009 newsletter and think the change to the recycling program sounds great! I like the mixed use, we use it at work and it couldn't be easier. The town I came from in Colorado,l l years ago, had a similar program. The recycling was free and for trash, we paid by the bag. We had to buy small postcard size stickers to put on the bags we set out, sort of like the mail system. I think the wheeled carts are nicer.

With regard to why this switch in systems is being proposed there are two reasons. 1. Have a more equitable system in terms of what homeowners pay. 'The current system has everyane paying the same amount each month and as landfill and collection fees increase each year they are shared equally among all residents. A cart system would allow those that put out less to pay less and those that put out more to pay mare. 2. It protects workers. Mechanical lifting will reduce worker injuries and allow my employees to have full careers here if they choose to do so. Currently each worker lifts about 20,000 pounds per day five days a week and after a few years the human body can't do it anymore and the employee resigns to find anather line of work. dour concerns about extra waste every week are being echoed by many in Meridian and this is the greatest sticking point to converting to automated collection. How we handle this issue will be discussed further on May 19th Steve Sedlacek Sanitary Service General Manager From: john masters [mailto:jmastersl4@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, May 04, 2009 3:16 PM To: supervisor@sscwaste.com Subject: Trash collection I see the city of Meridian wants to go to a cart collection system. What you don't say is how much it will cost. Right now the city charges us $13.45 per month for trash collection. Residents who use the green carts are charged an additional $2.88 per month - 21 percent more for picking up their garbage. In Meridian, trash collection costs went up nearly 6 percent in Novermber 2008. Plus, water and sewer fees were increased in January and April of 2009. I confirmed this with the Meridian utility billing office. I, like many others, have chosen not use the trash carts. For me the decision was easy. Why would I want to pay more for the same service? If I interpret the changes correctly, you want to limit how much 5/15/2009 Page 2 of 2 trash each home can put curbside and charge more each month. Why would anyone agree to this? The biggest concern I have is what to do with lawn clippings, weeds, and other yard rubbage. I have a large yard that requires a lot of weekly maintenance. I put out two to three trash cans weekly, which I have already paid for, and several bags of clippings. I lived in Sacramento, Calif., many years ago and they used the one-cart trash collection system. I had three people in my household then compared to five now. Each week the cart was overflowing. I could not be any more opposed to the proposed changes. As for recycling, my wife and I separate the recyclables each week and don't find this to be an incovenience. We actually hope it helps the people picking up the recyclables. John Masters 679 West Elias Street Meridian, Idaho, 83642 No virus found in this incoming message.

Steve Sedlacek General Manager Sanitary Service From: Na [mailto:na48@cableone.net] Sent: Tuesday, May 05, 2009 9:55 PM To: supervisor@sscwaste.com Subject: Please reply If the new trash and recycling containers are implemented, I have a few questions? What are the sizes of the containers? Initially you will get to pick either a 64-gallon, or a 96 gallon cart, and you need to pick two of them. One for "waste" and one for recycling. Can you have more than one trash container? Yes, you can but there will be an additional charge and it must be a cart that can be lifted by our automated trucks. What are the prices, etc? Pricing is still under discussion with the City Council and will depend upon a number of things that occur this Faf{. 1 don't mean to be coy but I don't know the specific rates at this time. In general terms I can tell you that your current rate is $16.33 if you use one of our 95-gallon carts. If you don°t rent a cart it is $13.45. I am estimating that your rate will be about $14f month if you chose a 65-gallon cart and rise to about $18/month if you use a 95-gallon cart. Please understand that these numbers WILL CHANGE. We need to know what landfill fees will be in October, what financing rates will be, and what costs to recycle commodities will be before a final number can be calculated. 5/15/2009 Page 2 of 2 What are we supposed to do with our grass clippings that are usually left on the curb in bags? I think we are headed toward a system where you will need to purchase a bag "tag" that will be a single use tag placed on the bag which indicates that you've paid for the collection of the material. Our driver would then get out of the truck reload your waste cart with the tagged bags and dump the material in the truck. Will the recycling bin be mixed with paper, cardboard, pop cans, etc? Yes, it will be all tossed in together. No more sorting. Renee No virus found in this incoming message.

Steve Sedlacek Sanitary Service General Manager From: Kim Mugleston [mailto:the4muggers@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, April 30, 2009 11:38 AM To: supervisor@sscwaste.com Subject: New trash system I am unable to attend the open houses regarding the new trash collection system, but have one remark and a few questions regarding the proposals. First of all, I definitely like the idea of the recycling totes because it simplifies the whole process and might get residents to recycle more. My concerns are with new trash system. Presently using a city trash tote is optional, but under the new system it appears they are mandatory. Questions: - Since the totes are mandatory, will the city now provide them to all households free of charge? You will get a bill once a month from the City with one monthly charge based on the size of the waste can you choose. There will be no separate rental fee. - If not, how does it justify imposing this fee on residents who do not want to rent totes? - If residents must use these totes, will we have the option of buying them instead of renting? With regard to the customer buying the can I think the chances of that are slim and none. The problem I have with it is that if the can breaks then you will have to pay to replace it even if it was caused by cold weather or my rough-handling trucks. It will also be a problem in tracking who is renting and who is not and what the differential rates would be. Also, since I buy them by the semi truck load I will have many in stock to replace broken ones so that customers don't miss a collection. If you own it and try to get a cart replaced for warranty reasons it might take a long time (weeks?). But don't let me dissuade you, if you want to bring it up with the 5/15/2009 Page 2 of 2 Council by all means do soon the 19th when the meeting is. -Does it mean that trash in bags or "other" cans can never be placed curbside? At this paint the proposal is that the waste must all go in the can. There are cities that will sell single use "tags" that you pay for that can go on a bag or a can to indicate that it has been paid for. We're looking into this as an option. Thanks for addressing these concerns. I look forward to you response. Sincerely, Kim Mugleston No virus found in this incoming message.

Please see my responses below: Steve Sedlacek General Manager Sanitary Service -----Original Message----- From: Angela Bean [mailto:] Sent: Saturday, April 11, 2009 9:44 AM To: supervisor@sscwaste.com Subject: New collection system- reply please Good morning, I won't be able to attend an open house date. I could have attended a previous date, but your newsletter arrived after the first two dates had passed. I have some questions and comments . 1) Will we have to rent the garbage cart? The newsletter states the recycling cart is free, but doesn't mention the cost of the garbage cart. I currently don't use your bin because I don't want to pay extra for it. You should provide the garbage cart at no extra charge as well. I don't want my garbage fees to increase to pay for a cart that I'm required to use. If the driver can handle the route alone due to automation, the reduced wages should compensate for the cost of new carts. Ans: You will not have to rent the carts, their price is part of the single rate you will pay to the City each month. We will see reduced wages since we will have one man trucks but the conversion will require at least $3 million is debt service. We're sort of exchanging one cost for another. 2) How will you handle items that won't fit into the cart? Ans: This is the most asked question. For sporadic extra items you can do the following: A.) put it in your neighbors cart - assuming they will let you and there is some space B.) you can bring it the transfer station on Franklin Road and pay a fee to dump it C.) you can take it to the landfill and pay a fee to dump it For consistent overflows of waste (i.e. grass in summer) you can move up to a larger cart or if you already have the biggest cart, rent another. There will most likely be a week of unlimited collection after Christmas and the Fall leaf collection program will continue as it does now where you can set out as many leaf bags as 1 you want during that period. 3) I love that the recycling program is improving. I will definitely recycle more now that it's commingled and I can choose a larger bin size. Ans: We expect that the recycling volume will increase 30-50o in this new program because of the ease of use. We hope that people recycle more and save space in their waste cart so they don't have any extras. 4) I like that we can choose the size of containers that we need. Ans: You will be able to select a 64-gallon size cart or a 96-gallon cart for waste and recycling. We will likely have an even smaller "senior" can size, perhaps 32-gallon or 48-gallons in size for those that put out small amounts of waste. 5) Are these new carts covered/lidded? Ans: Yes there are lids on the carts that cannot blow off and cannot be removed. 6) How will these new carts improve the trash blowing down the street? I live in a curve, and I have to clean garbage out of my yard on a weekly basis after trash day (usually after it's been dumped into the truck). Ans: The lids on the carts will help with the blowing litter and animals knocking over the carts. There will always be issues with blowing litter from our trucks if waste is not bagged. We hate those little peanut packing things and the wind is our enemy. There will be a City Council meeting on the evening of May 19th to discuss this further if you are interested. Thank you for the opportunity for feedback. Angela No virus found in this incoming message.

I don't mean to be coy but I don't know the specific rates at this time. In general terms I can tell you that your current rate is $16.33 if you use one of our 95-gallon carts. If you don't rent a cart it is $13.45. I am estimating that your rate will be about $14/month if you chose a 65-gallon cart and rise to about $18/month if you use a 95-gallon cart. Please understand that these numbers WILL CHANGE. We need to know what landfill fees will be in October, what financing rates will be, and what costs to recycle commodities will be before a final number can be calculated. We will be using equipment that will require one-man trucks versus two. We hope to absorb the extra workers into other parts of our business and the one-man trucks will not be phased in immediately upon implementation. We do have many months to go before this is implemented so normal attrition will take care of some of the openings. We will also require a new mechanic to work on the trucks and an additional cart delivery person to support the system. One point to remember is that this type of system allows our employees to have long and healthy careers with us. Without the switch over these employees will last about 10 years before their bodies give way to injury and they end up looking for new work. I think of this as a way to preserve employees. The City Council will be considering this matter further on the evening of May 19th if you are interested.

You are losing me on the benfit of this program. I really fail to see why you are investing millions in this type of program. It seems to me that I will incur cost for no benefit. The garbage either gets picked up or it does not get picked up. What am I missing? What are the benefits to me or the community in having a cart? Are the benefits strictly SSC profit? Some unanswered questions from your response... 1) Are you planning on charging for rent of the cans that go in the carts? Or is the "cart" the can? You said "Rates will be about the same as you are paying now although we will be moving toward a system where if you..." What does "About the same" equate to in terms of a percentage increase or decrease? 2) You said regarding the aesthetics..." I agree. This is not an issue that anyone cares about." Yet this is mentioned in the latest flier that came with my bill as a benefit?? Someone cares or it would not be in the flier. What am I missing?

One person versus two on my route and others. In this event will the savings be passed on to the consumer or is this merely an effort to raise profits? SSC will reduce the number of route drivers although we will need other personnel such as mechanics and cart delivery people to support the system. The largest cost will be the $3 million in carts and trucks required for the program. Basically we'll be making bank payments rather than payroll payments. Rates will be about the same as you are paying now although we will be moving toward a system where if you put out more you pay more and if you put out less you will pay less. With the current system everyone pays the same basic price. Making the neighborhood consistent one night per week with regard to "garbage can aesthetics" or consistency is far from my list of top priorities. I agree. This is not an issue that anyone cares about. 2) Regarding the carts and cans within them. Will these be provided to the consumer for free? Or will this be a profit center for SSC? In other words making money from the rental of carts, cans and personnel reduction per route. Carts will be provided as part of the basic rate - no additional rental fee (unless you need more than the two carts we will provide). We aren't making money off of rental fees. 5/15/2009 Page 3 of 3 Reading between the lines this seems to be a forced "rent our tash cans" ploy by SSC to increase profit while passing no savings on to the consumer.

The new system will provide you with two rolling carts -one for trash and the other far recycling. You can put anything you want in the trash cart, including grass. It's just that if you fill it up with grass you may not have enough room for your household waste. The carts would be either 64 gallons (two normal garbage cans) or 96 gallons (three normal garbage cans) in size. Since your waste will be limited to the size of can that you choose you will need to recycle as much as you can. The larger cart will cost more per month than the smaller cart. There is no separate rental fee for the cart there will be just one fee per month per customer. Please reply to this a-mail if you have any further questions.

The carts would be either 64 gallons (two normal garbage cans) or 96 gallons (three normal garbage cans) in size. Since your waste will be limited to the size of can that you choose you will need to recycle as much as you can. The larger cart will cost more per month than the smaller cart. There is no separate rental fee for the cart there will be just one fee per month per customer. Please reply to this a-mail if you have any further questions. There will be a City Council meeting on the 19th of May to discuss this matter further.

My main concern is the ridiculous monthly rent cost that the city of Meridian is passing on to the users of their trash system if they elect to use your can. As I mentioned, when I lived in my previous home, i.e., Tucson AZ, the city through Waste Management offered the cans at "No Cost." I also see now that the city of Boise is going to use the new system of having one man per truck and the mechanical arm lift the cans. However, they will not be charaina for the rental of the cans and are providing them at NO charge. If I am left with no alternative, I will stop using the can you provide and use my own cans, which saves me considerable money each month.

The problem I have with it is that if the can breaks (and you can see from your current can that they do) then you will have to pay to replace it even if it was caused by cold weather or my rough-handling trucks. It will also be a problem iti tracking who is renting and who is not and what the differential rates would be. Also, since I buy them by the semi truck load I will have many in stock to replace broken ones so that customers don't miss a collection.

All of the waste items that you have will need to be contained within the cart size that you choose (either 64-gallons, or 96-gallons). There will be one monthly charge from the City for your service - no additional rental charges will apply - unless you have so much waste that you need another (third) cart. Yard waste is the single biggest problem with conversion to an automated collection system. We would like to develop a composting location where we could take yard debris but do not have one at this time. I think we may need to consider delaying the implementation of the program until such time as we can collect yard debris separate from trash. There would need to be a charge for those that want to participate in the yard waste collection program. It would most likely be a weekly collection for 7-8 months each year.

On the one hand i can appreciate how having mandatory container bins will streamline the entire trash collection process--and that justifiably needs to be considered. 5/15/2009 Page 2 of 2 On the other hand i do not like the idea of being forced into paying a monthly fee for a container that i do no want or need, personally. When i noticed several years ago that i was being charged a monthly fee of $9 for the bin supplied by Meridian, i had it returned and bought my own personal container for $9 and have been using it ever since, a one time fee. If there was a way to change over to the new system without the overhead charged out to all the customers i would be totally amenable. I strongly feel that the bins the city currently uses were overpriced initially when the city purchased them and that the customers are also over-charged over the life of the bin to help defray other costs. I noticed that in your announcement in "talkin trash" that you did not address the issue of-the cost to the customers and what other options might be available.

There is no incentive to curtail volume at the curb since there is no rate structure that promotes waste reduction. We're attempting to move to a system where the more you put out the more you pay or the less you put out the less you will pay. Right now those that recycle and put out less subsidize those that put out more. If we don't change systems the increasing cost of disposal will be shared by all customers equally and there are those who don't want that to continue. Of course mechanically lifting the waste is safer for my employees so I have an interest in seeing it change too. You're right though, if you don't recycle and like to put out a lot of waste every week you will not support this change. What is interesting is that of all the e-mail I am getting on this about 60-70 percent are in favor of the switch. We'll see what happens on the 19th of May at the City Council meeting, I hope you can make it.

You will also have a 64-gallon or 96-gallon recycling cart. This is equal to at least 4 standard garbage cans - you'll just need to be sure that you get the trash in the waste cart and recyclables into the recycling cart.

If you consistently have extra material to be collected you would likely need to opt for one of two choices: 1. Rent another "waste" cart for the growing season, or 2. Purchase a "bag tag" to be placed on extra material that is set outside the can. The cost of each of these choices is still being discussed.

We hope to have a composting facility in the future that will accept these items but we don't have one at this time.

Currently everyone pays the same, but in the new system you will have to pick the size of cart that you want (64 gallon or 96 gallon) and pay more if you throw away more or pay less if you throw away less.

We do not expect all customers to be in favor of this change. We simply need to decide if we want the system we have now, which is very convenient, it injures workers, and peaple who put out less subsidize those that put out more, or do we want a system that protects workers better, and the amount you put out is more related to what you pay each month. Although I am an advacate for the automated system I can pick up waste either way. As far as unlimited collection days go, we will have a week after Christmas when we will go unlimited and we will have Fall leaf collection and Christmas tree collection as we do now.

How does this change benefit the consumers? The high capital cost of this program will benefit SSC and their employees but what is in it for ME.....the homeowner? Will you have days during the spring and fall where we can put out additional waste? Salt Lake City does this and they have special pick up service for yard clean up during these times. I am weary in general because it seems that service continues to decline in our society and yet costs are on the rise so I am paying more for less.......1 mean when you get right down to it Mr.. Sedlacek.......the service SSC currently provides has been satisfactory to me so why would I want this change to be put into place and receive less of a service? My husband threw trash for BFI years ago and so we know all to well how difficult it is to throw those cans but I do hope that the City will consider providing additional services for yard refuse.

As to your questions, what to do with extra material is the biggest issue that comes up. Yard waste in particular in the Spring is everyone's concern. If you consistently have extra material to be collected you would likely need to opt for one of two choices: 1. Rent another "waste" cart for the growing season, or 2. Purchase a "bag tag" to be placed on extra material that is set outside the can. The cost of each of these choices is still being discussed. Remember, we are moving toward a system where the more you put out the more you will pay and the less you put out the less you will pay. You are correct that we will have fewer employees in the trucks but that cost savings is offset by the high capital cost of all of the containers and the trucks (about $4 million). So our task is to try to keep the rates in the same general range as they are now -understanding that some should pay more and some should pay less. Please send me another a-mail if you have any more questions. Steve Sedlacek General Manager Sanitary Service From: Kala Thompson [mailto:kalat@appetizer.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 2009 3:39 PM To: supervisor@sscwaste.com Subject: automated collection I had planned to attend the May 6th open house but I was unable to make it. I certainly understand the need to get away from having the collectors throw the cans and the high risk of injury that this method carries with it. I have lived places where they had one big can for garbage and then another large can for yard refuse only.....we could not put out anything that did not fit into the cans but we did have the option of separating the two. My concern is that we will not have the room during the mowing season so would that mean that we would have to rent a second can? I also don't like keeping my grass clippings mixed in with my regular garbage. They are very smelly in the heat of the summer and it ends up being a big smelly mess. I am all for improving processes and technology but it can't all come with an increase to the consumer. These days it is all about conserving every penny we make and stretching them as far as possible. However, with a decrease in cans per household coupled with the automation feature.....you certainly won't have to employ the same number of haulers as you do now so that should compensate for a rate increase right?

Steve Sedlacek General Manager Sanitary Service From: George [mailto:gneumeister@msn.com] Sent: Friday, May 08, 2009 6:15 AM To: supervisor@sscwaste.com Subject: Proposed Automated Trash Collection Good Morning, I hope your day is going well. I apologize for not being able to make it to the open house sessions where the proposed automated collection system was presented. I would like to learn more about this program and was wondering if perhaps there was a presentation that you could forward to me or perhaps some other literature that was made available at the open house. Some of the questions I have are: 1.) With the one cart for recycling, how will the separation of material be performed? Currently home owners must separate the material into bags for collection There is no more separation. Just toss the material into the recycling cart. Collection will likely be every other week rather than the current weekly collection. Your recycling cart size will be either 64 or 96 gallons in size - so it is much larger than the current recycling bin. 2.) Is there a fee for the cart used for trash? No additional rental fee, there is one fee charged by the City on a monthly basis for service. The fee is tied to the size of the "waste" cart you use. 3.) What do we do with items that may not fit in the carts due to the size, such as large boxes, etc? All recycling will need to go into the recycling cart with the lid shut. Remember the new cart will be much larger than the current bin. 5/15/2009 Page 2 of 2 As far as extra waste goes that does not fit into the "waste" cart you will likely be required to purchase a bag or can "tag" that can be stuck to the extra material so we will pick it up. The point of the new system is to try to get all the material into the cart but on occasion there will be overflow. 4.) How does the increase in recycling lower our costs for trash collection? If you can recycle more we hope that you can downsize your "waste" cart and therefore reduce your monthly cost of service. The program sounds good, just some clarifications to help me understand better. Will you perhaps be creating a list of questions from the previous open houses and posting them on your website? We're actually taking the list of questions and answers to the May 19th city council meeting. Thank you for your time... Cheers... George Neumeister 2733 S.

I am one of the few Idaho natives left. I am writing to you today because I received a notice of a change in the way trash and recycling is going to be collected. 5/15/2009 Page 2 of 2 Aside from the increase of cost that will be inevitable, isn't this going to cost jobs? I am not sure that is what we need in the economy today, more job loss. In your message, you wrote; "Meridian's mission is to be a safe, attractive, and inviting community that is a premier place to live, work, and raise a family," I'm sure it is only going to be 30 or 40 jobs, but at 30k a year, for 30 guys -that's $900,000.00 lost to our community, being replaced by a machine. In the SSC article, it stated that it would "Reduce injuries to SSC trash haulers," this is true, if they are no longer employed by SSC -they will no longer get hurt. I am writing to you because I feel like no one is listening, and the City will listen to you. Thank you very much, Everett W. Adams 2461 N.

The new system will provide you with two rolling carts -one for trash and the other for recycling. You can put anything you want in the trash cart, including grass. It's just that if you fill it up with grass you may not have enough room for your household waste. The carts would be either 64 gallons (two normal garbage cans) or 96 gallons (three normal garbage cans) in size. Since your waste will be limited to the size of can that you choose you will need to recycle as much as you can. The larger cart will cost more per manth than the smaller cart. There is no separate rental fee for the cart there will be just one fee per month per customer. Please reply to this a-mail if you have any further questions.

Please send me more a-mails if there are more points I need to clarify. The new system requires that you select a single can size for your waste (either a 64-gallon or a 96- gallan) with more being charged if you select the larger container. You will also have a 64-gallon or 96- gallon recycling cart. This is equal to at least 4 standard garbage cans -you'll just need to be sure that you get the trash in the waste cart and recyclables into the recycling cart. So, if you can put more in the recycling cart and select a smaller waste cart you reduce your monthly cost. Pricing is still under discussion with the City Council and will depend upon a number of things that occur this Fall. I don't mean to be coy but I don't know the specific rates at this time. In general terms I can tell you that your current rate is $16.33 if you use one of our 95-gallon carts. If you don't rent a cart it is $13.45. I am estimating that your rate will be about $14/month if you chose a 65-gallon cart and rise to about $18/month if you use a 95-gallon cart. Please understand that these numbers WILL CHANGE.

I like the idea of not having to sort recycling, and having just gotten two containers for our home, I am willing to have those be the only collection container. I do, however, have a problem with having only one container for trash and one container for recycling. We own an 8 bedroom home on a %: acre lot. We have between 5 and 10 people living here (depending on the situations of our children.) Although I compost all of our grass clippings and we annually use a chipper to mulch what we prune from our trees, I still have clippings from roses, blackberries, etc. as well as dead plants in the fall such as tomato vines that are not easily composted nor chopped up. While your limit of a single container for trash may work for the majority of households, during spring and fall yard cleanup and at holiday times, I can guarantee that we will have additional container needs. Is there a plan to allow more than the two containers for large families like ours? Sincerely, Loralei Sturkie 5/15/2009 Page 2 of 2 1996 E. Handel Ct.

I moved to the Boise area from Salt Lake City about 7 years ago where they used a very similar system to the one that you are proposing, the better part of the time it worked very well for the consumer, however it became apparent over time that the trash collectors got somewhat... lazy for lack of a better term. I say this on account of if the trash can was not pertectly placed or the mechanical arms knocked the can over they would just continue on without emptying the can. This made for a long week afterwards and with the extra trash from two weeks they would not pick up any extra bags because it would mean the need to exit the truck and manually load the extra bags from the week before. This leaves the consumer with two choices, either store extra trash inside their home or garage which is smelly at best, and realistically unhealthy for my family or take the trash and dispose of it illegally into a commercial dumpster. Both options are unacceptable and can be avoided. I pray that extra precautions will be made to avoid this problem. If the public makes extra efforts and are educated on the proper placement of the receptacle hopefully the collectors will make every effort to not leave a full can behind. Also I was curious about the two different sized cans and the cost for each, if that information is available I would really appreciate if you could enlighten me on that.? I really appreciate your help in answering my questions in a prompt fashion. Thank You, Bill Kirk Resident of Havasu Creek Subdivision No virus found in this incoming message.

I am not able to attend any of the meetings being held on this subject, but would like to offer my view. 5/15/2009 Page 2 of 3 It is my understanding that we would have 2 cans, 1 for trash, and 1 for recycling. Where do we put yard maintenance debris? Do we throw it in with the newspapers, plastic milk bottles, etc? Yes, you will have two, wheeled carts -one for trash and the other for recycling. Newspapers and plastic milk bottles would go into the recycling cart. Yard debris and grass are the single largest problem to converting to this type of a system. We would like to offer a yard waste cart in addition to the trash and recycling carts but at this time we do not have a composting facility to take the material to. We may need to delay the implementation of the program until we can start a yard waste collection program. Yard waste collection would bean additional charge to those customers that need it. It would most likely be a weekly collection and last for 7-8 months during the growing season. This is a hard issue to solve but we are working on it. I have a 1/3 acre yard in one of Merdian's finest subdivisions, Bridgetower. I do all the yard work myself, and would like to know what I am suppose to do with my yard clean up in the spring and fall. After cleaning up my yard in the spring (my hobby is gardening) I probably have 10 - 20 bags of debris. What am I suppose to do with this? City codes prevent me from having a "burn pile", and not everything can go in a compost pile (which has to be totally contained, not an open pile in the yard.) I would probably be able to fill one of your containers in an hour or two of yard debris. What do I do with the rest of it? I don't have a pickup truck to haul it off to the dump. Having a special pickup, like the fall leaves and the Christmas Trees doesn't work either since I can't possibly do all the yard clean up in one small time period (work and weather are variables). You are certainly a candidate for a yard waste collection program. Fall leaf collection and Christmas Tree collection would continue as before but I understand that this does not meet your week-to-week needs in the summer. For example, today at the curb, I have 4 grasses I had to trim down to their bases. Those alone would fill one of your trash containers. Besides that, I have 12 bags of weeds, branches from pruning, leaves from cleaning out the flower beds and so on. I would like to know what I am suppose to do with all this. CC&R's in my subdivision prevent me from having an open compost pile and I don't want to have a pile of debris sitting somewhere in my yard while I am waiting to fill up one of your recycling containers each week. We do sell composters for $40 if that is of interest to you. The composter is completely enclosed and you are welcome come to our offices to check one out if you like. Please explain to me what I am suppose to do with my yard debris. Also, I would like to know if you are offering specials times that we can bring in personal papers to be shredded. This has to be an area that is expanding rapidly with all the identity theft issues. I would love to see special times set that we could bring in personal papers to be shredded. I would want to see them being shredded while I am there. We've never been asked to get into the shredding business. We don't have a shredder. You can buy your own shredder or I think Shred-Pro is located across Cole Road by Costco and I think they would shred it for a fee. If you do get your own shredder if you bag the shred in a clear plastic bag (so we can verify the contents) you can put it in your recycle bin or cart.

We would like to develop a composting location where we could take yard debris but do not have one at this time. I think we may need to consider delaying the implementation of the program until such time as we can collect yard debris separate from trash. There would need to be a charge for those that want to participate in the yard waste collection program. It would most likely be a weekly collection for 7-8 months each year. As far as glass goes there are drop off locations in the area -none in Meridian -that take the glass to an ACRD gravel pit where the material is dumped. Every few years the material is ground up and mixed with rock to make a glass aggregate for road building. Unfortunately very little of it is reused since there are very few roads being built. My opinion on the program is that it is not sustainable since there is way more collected than is ever reused and the program will have to end at some point in the not too distant future. I am trying to avoid offering a program that I later have to eliminate. Many people want to "recycle" glass but at this point there's no good end use for it. I wish I could be more optimistic.

I don't mean to be coy but I don't know the specific rates at this time. In general terms I can tell you that your current rate is $16.33 if you use one of our 95-gallon carts. If you don't rent a cart it is $13.45. I am estimating that your rate will be about $14/month if you chose a 65-gallon cart and rise to about $18/month if you use a 95-gallon cart. Please understand that these numbers WILL CHANGE. We need to know what landfill fees will be in October, what financing rates will be, and what costs to recycle commodities will be before a final number can be calculated. One other thing to remember is that you will have two cart with at least 64-gallons of capacity in each. This is equal to 4 standard garbage cans -you'll just need to be sure that you get the trash in the waste cart and recyclables into the recycling cart.

Steve Sedlacek Sanitary Service General Manager From: Pat Roller [mailto:proller@zekes.com] Sent: Saturday, April 25, 2009 6:22 AM To: supervisor@sscwaste.com Subject: Trash collection Dear SSC/Meridian, I can understand how it is cheaper and easier to go to the mechanical collection system. The down side (and as a resident it is a sad thing to see) is the loss of the ability to put out extra trash. The system now allows us to place trash in the totes but if we have extra we can put it in bags to be hauled away. I assume that you are factoring the impact of people throwing trash/ garbage on the road sides when they lose the current system of disposal. The cost of roadside cleanup or in the alternative the impact of looking at the roadside mess I imagine is more than the saving with the new system. Maybe not... but having lived where the garbage service is limited to a certain amount I know that much is found along the roads as people choose not to exert the effort to go to the dump OR they cannot afford the cost of so doing. You are correct that we will lose some of the flexibility and convenience of the current system and that illegal dumping will increase. The City has been made aware of the issue. We do have a conveniently located transfer station so residents won't have to travel all the way to the dump. But I suppose if you don't have the money it won't matter haw short the drive is. As for the mixing of the recyclables in the same container, I am confused. Won't the newspaper and the cardboard get wet from mixing with damp plastic or canned items? And the general mess of paper and other items to be sorted must have an impact as well. Are you planning to us the prisoner system to sort 5/15/2009 Page 2 of 2 as they do in many areas in CA and other states as well? The commingling of the recyclables in one can will increase the contamination of the material. The current system produces very clean material but many say the bins are too small and we expect that if we go to the larger cart system the volumes of recyclables will increase 30 - 50%. I don't think we`ll be using the prisoner system for the sorting but that will be up to Western Recycling. I am sure the cost is what is driving this change and it is too bad as the system now is nice from the resident aspect. It would be so much nicer to keep the trash system as it is and to set up cardboard and newspaper recycling dumpsters in a few common areas to which people could haul the paper. The non paper items could be in a bin that is picked up if you so choose to do away with the manual system. The two things driving this change are 1. Changing the system so that those that throw out more pay more, and those that throw out less pay less. Right now all pay the same. And 2. An automated system will be safer to the collection workers. Nice that you are taking in put from the public however I assume that you have already made your decision and this is just a way to allow the residents to air their views. The City Council has not made a decision yet and is interested in all viewpoints on this matter. They will be taking public input on May 19. At that date they may decide to move forward with the new plan or not...... Thanks for listening, Pat Roller No virus found in this incoming message.

The short answer to your question is yes, the unlimited collection will end. You'll need to fit your waste into a 64- gallon or a 96-gallon cart.

Yes What if I periodically would want an additional trash can? Everything has to go into the can size you pick. Extras would go into a neighbors cart if there were space available and they'd let you, or you can drop it at the transfer station or landfill for an extra fee. If you consistently have more than your cart will hold you may rent another cart. Would the recycling cart necessarily be the same size as the selected trash cart, or could we mix and match based on our recycling and trash needs? You can mix and match -but there will be limits to how frequently you can switch. Can we dump all recyclable materials into the recycling cart, or would we have to divide the different types of materials from each other (aluminum separate from plastics, etc.)? Dump it all in together. We expect a 30-50% increase in the recycling volume collected city-wide. How much variation do you think could be present in the final pricing -could you give a range of estimated costs (for example, $12 - $16 for 64 gallon, $16 - $22 for 96 gallon)? The ranges you suggest are as good as any. It's impossible to know at this point. Thanks for your response. Roy L.

Pook [mailto:spookyrunner@cableone.net] Sent: Saturday, April 25, 2009 8:37 PM To: supervisor@sscwaste.com Subject: Automated Trash Collection -I just received my City of Meridian bill and read the insert about the upcoming conversion to the automated trash collection. Since I will not be able to attend any of the open houses, I was wondering if you could answer a couple questions: 1. One of the bulleted items states "The recycling cart is free, so the more you recycle, the less you throw away, thus saving you money". This implies that the standard trash container is not free and will cost all of the residents additional money on top of what they already pay for the trash service. If this is true, what is going to be the additional charge? Also if residents feel that this is unfair, who would they complain to - SSC or the City of Meridian? I think the wording in the newsletter is throwing off a lot of people. If we switch to an automated collection system there will be one monthly charge you get from the City. There will be no separate rental charges for any of the carts you will need. The larger the "waste" cart you select the more you will pay per month. So, rather than everyone paying the same as we do now we'll have a system where if you put out more you pay more and if you put out less you'll pay less. Pricing is still under discussion with the City Council and will depend upon a number of things that occur this Fall. I don't mean to be coy but I don't know the specific rates at this time. In general terms I can tell you that your current rate is $16.33 if you use one of our 95-gallon carts. If you don't rent a cart it is $13.45. I am estimating that your rate will be 1 about $14/month if you chose a 65-gallon cart and rise to about $18/month if you use a 95-gallon cart. Please understand that these numbers WILL CHANGE. We need to know what landfill fees will be in October, what financing rates will be, and what costs to recycle commodities will be before a final number can be calculated. If you have a complaint you should contact the City of Meridian - they regulate the collection of solid waste within City limits. 2. What about lawn clippings? During the spring, my lawn grows quite well and there is no way that all of the clippings plus my weekly trash would fit into one can. I also have to disagree with the article on the insert about "Grasscycling". Due to the excessive amount of grass that my lawn produces in the spring time, I am unable to mulch as it will kill the lawn. I tried it one year and there was so much mulched grass that the other grass could not grow up through it or get any sunlight. I started to get dead spots in the lawn and once I raked up all of the mulch grass my lawn eventually came back to life after a couple of months. Yard waste is the single biggest problem with conversion to an automated collection system. We would like to develop a composting location where we could take yard debris but do not have one at this time. I think we may need to consider delaying the implementation of the program until such time as we can collect yard debris separate from trash. There would need to be a charge for those that want to participate in the yard waste collection program. It would most likely be a weekly collection for 7-8 months each year. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Scott Pook No virus found in this incoming message.

I do use the recycling box & am happy to see you're not charging extra for that but am not happy that you will be charging me for the other so what will this do to my monthly cost? I already, as do many of my neighbors, have my own cans so an additional purchase would not be necessary anyway and we keep them in our garages when not in use and question what's so great about the statement that consistency in containers helps keep neighborhoods to look neater and cleaner? I understand that we will not be able to set out any other trash such a bundled (cut to 4' lengths) branches. Is this the case?? Since there was already a restriction on how heavy the containers could weigh, and that we were told that the cans/containers would not be picked up if they were too hearvy, why were your trash haulers injured? I would appreciate an answer that justifies this new change. Perhaps the city of Meridian's residences need to have a say in this before it becomes the "law" and when we do, will it make any difference? I would appreciate a response.

In the new system you will have two carts, one for waste and one for recycling. The size of garbage cart you choose will determine your one monthly charge for service. Cart sizes will either be 95-gallon (the current size you see on the street) or a smaller 65-gallon size. You can have either size recycling cart - I'm sure most will choose the 65-gallon size for ease of use. I don't mean to be coy but I don't know what the specific rates will be.

Yes, it would be. i 2.Is there a lease on container? You'll pay a single amount to the City each month just as you do now.

We will deliver them. 4.What about trash that may not fit in container, (Too large, more than container will hold, grass clippings, large boxes...ect.)? This is one of the largest issues related to switching from unlimited waste collection to a limited system. You will have a larger recycling cart than you currently have so you will have an incentive to recycle as much as possible. You mention large boxes - those would be recyclable if they are cardboard. You might have to cut them down to get them to fit or crush them.. The disposal of grass and other yard wastes create a huge cost to all consumers. We hope that all citizens consider mulching their grass rather than just throwing it away. It will be an issue that each homeowner will have to evaluate based on their circumstance. Bulky wastes (desks, sofas, etc..) will have a separate cost schedule that you will be billed for if you want to set it out on the curb. Otherwise, options to deal with excess include: 1. Rent another cart during higher volume months. 2. Bringing it to the transfer station on Franklin Road - there would be a charge to get rid of it. 3. Talk to a neighbor and use some space available in their can. 4. Drive to the landfill and pay to dump. Thank you for your time...Brad K.

Thanks, Steve Sedlacek General Manager Sanitary Services From: Laura Burden [mailto Sent: Tuesday, March 24, 2009 5:54 AM To: 'supervisor@sscwaste.com' Subject: purposed trash change comment/questions H i; I moved to Meridian from California 4 years ago where this program is currently in effect with one difference. We had a black trash container, also 2 sized available, a blue recycle bin and a green one. The blue was for recycling and the green for lawn trimming. This helped with the lawn waste as it did not take up the trash bin. Branches cut and bundled to certain size and weight by the curb was also accepted. Yes, having separate yard waste collection is a definite plus - it can go to a composting plant rather than the landfill. We do not have a permitted composting facility at this time to take yard waste -we're working on it. 5/15/2009 Page 2 of 2 How to handle yard wastes is an issue that is often brought up. We hope that residents start to mulch their grass rather than just toss it to the curb. The problem was what happens when you fill your trash container but still have trash? We knew our neighbors and had an agreement that if you had 'extra' trash and the neighbor's can was out and had room we could add to theirs. We could still call in large items for pick up. Your point about "extra" waste is the single largest hurdle to conversion to acan-limited system. Your choices to deal with "extras" will be 1. Use your neighbors can if available, 2. Bring it to the transfer station on Franklin Road (a good short term solution -you'll have to pay at the station), 3. Rent another container for some period of time until you don't need it anymore (a more long-term solution) 4. go to the landfill. Bulky item collection would continue as it is now although there would be a rate schedule per item. My question is, what is the plan here for `extra' garbage that does not fit into the container? Does the lid have to close completely? You should tell business and apartment owners to watch their dumpsters as people with too much trash will try to dump it in their dumpsters. This was a big problem where I lived in CA. I've heard that some waste haulers are very picky about the lid being closed. I'm not sure 1 want to be in the business of being the garbage police and see if your lid is completely closed. I'd rather have my drivers identify those that are abusing the system on a continuous basis and we'll speak to those customers about how they can reduce their waste loads or rent a second container. I'm all for recycling and I don't think there was ever a problem with this bin but without a 'green' waste bin I foresee a big issue as people have to decide which garbage can fit to go out that week and what will have to lay around and wait for maybe the week or the next, yuck! Maybe if we all got the first trash can 'free' and could rent a second? Yes, you can rent a second can. We simply want to move to a system where if you throw out more you pay more and if you throw out less you pay less.

The one thing we don't like is the recyclables -throwing everything in one container then paying someone else to sort it. We have no problem sorting it ourselves. It was suggested at the morning coffee on April 9th that we call the Idaho Statesman a second time to ask if they would consider the environment by picking up old advertisements when the new ones were delivered. It was not well received. The Statesmans response was they were neither funded for nor obligated to pick up the old advertisements. Who do we talk to next about this problem?

You have really hit the nail on the head. Yard waste (organics) comprises about 30% of the waste stream, and if segregated and composted could be of great benefit to reducing the amount of material going to the landfill. SSC and the City of Meridian are working to develop a composting facility of such a size and capability to handle this waste stream. Our struggle is to figure out how to implement various parts of an automated collection program so that we end up where we want to be. Currently there is no designed and permitted composting facility to handle this volume of waste.

However, I must ask the question, when are you going to start collecting greens in there own carts? I'm sure there is a place at the ADA County landfill for composting greens. Once this collection occurs the actual amount of trash collected will drop dramatically and the County can gain revenue by selling compost. Thank you for your time. Mitch Young 2786 S.

Pricing is still under discussion with the City Council and will depend upon a number of things that occur this Fall. I don't mean to be coy but I don't know the specific rates at this time. In general terms I can tell you that your current rate is $16.33 if you use one of our 95-gallon carts. If you don't rent a cart it is $13.45. I am estimating that your rate will be about $14/month if you chose a 65-gallon cart and rise to about $18/month if you use a 95-gallon cart. Please understand that these numbers WILL CHANGE. We need to know what landfill fees will be in October, what financing rates will be, and what costs to recycle commodities will be before a final number can be calculated.

As far as glass goes there are drop off locations in the area -none in Meridian -that take the glass to an ACHD gravel pit where the material is dumped. Every few years the material is ground up and mixed with rock to make a glass aggregate for road building. Unfortunately very little of it is reused since there are very few roads being built. My opinion on the program is that it is not sustainable since there is way more collected than is ever reused and the program will have to end at some point in the not too distant future. I am trying to avoid offering a program that I later have to eliminate. Many people want to "recycle" glass but at this point there's no good end use for it. I wish I could be more optimistic.

They had a similar collection system to what you are proposing and we really liked it. The only difference was that in Washington, we had a two wheeled cart for recycling, a two wheeled cart for organic materials (grass, branches, leaves, etc.), standard garbage cans for other trash, and were charged based on the number of garbage cans we used each week. We really liked the system used in the Seattle area and would encourage you to consider adding a bin for organic materials in addition to the current proposal.

With automated collection you would have to fit all of the material into the cart size you choose. No bags outside the carts. Fall leaf collection and Christmas Tree collection would be continued as they are now. If you have extra material on a given week you would have 4 choices on what to do, 1. Put extra in your neighbors cart if there were room, 2. Bring extra to the transfer station where you'll have to pay to drop it off, 3. Take extra to the landfill where you have to pay to get rid of it, 4. Hold it over for a week until you have room. All of these choices are somewhat undesirable given the fact that there is unlimited collection now -people are use to the convenience and the new system will require more time and consideration.

I think the wording in the newsletter is throwing off a lot of people. If we switch to an automated collection 5/15/2009 Page 2 of 2 system there will be one monthly charge you get from the City. There will be no separate rental charges for any of the carts you will need. The larger the "waste" cart you select the more you will pay per month. So, rather than everyane paying the same as we do now we'll have a system where if you put out mare you pay more and if you put out less you'll pay less. At this paint grass is garbage and should be put at the curb with all of your other waste. In the new system we'd like to establish some sort of yard waste collection route where we could pick up that stuff and not landfill it. That program would cast extra for all of those interested in participating -we're working on how much that would be. If the cost were too high and residents did not want to participate then the grass would go in with all of your other household waste. If I can clarify any other issues please drop mean a-mail.

I understand that you may not be pleased to hear this but at this time the glass that is collected is not necessarily recycled and the amounts collected far exceed anything that can be done with the material.

If it is not replaced drop me an e- mail. With regard to the customer buying the can I think the chances of that are slim and none. The problem I have with it is that if the can breaks (and you can see from your current can that they do) then you will have to pay to replace it even if it was caused by cold weather or my rough-handling trucks. It will also be a problem in tracking who is renting and who is not and what the differential rates would be. Also, since I buy them by the semi truck load I will have many in stock to replace broken ones so that customers don't miss a collection. If you own it and try to get a cart replaced for warranty reasons it might take a long time (weeks?). But don't let me dissuade you, if you want to bring it up with the Council by all means do so on the 19th when the meeting is.

The only comment I have I don't think it is appropriate for me or any user of your services to have to pay a monthly charge for the container! As I mentioned I came from an area that used the "automated" system, but they did not charge a rental fee for the use of the container so I can't understand why the City of Meridian is passing on this cost to me the homeowner. By the way, the container I have needs to be replaced because it is starting to split apart. Thanks, Tom Kopke +1 208.888.9630 No virus found in this incoming message.

We had the two big containers for trash and recycling at our old house when we lived in Arizona and it worked out really well because it made it very easy to recycle. Right now it is a pain to sort the recycling and it's not easy to drag the bins out to the sidewalk when they are full or when it is raining/snowing as the items can get soaking wet or even blow away. Hopefully you decide to go to this new system, as I think it would be more efficient for the residents of Meridian. Thanks, Emily Donnelly No virus found in this incoming message.

We thought you did a good job of communicating the proposed new system and wanted to let you know that we support the idea and would look forward to its implemenation. We lived in southern California for 20 years and there we had three cans--one for recycling, one for yard waste, and one for regular trash. It was OK to put yard waste in the regular trash but not vice versa. We had two can sizes to choose from. They defaulted to a 96 gallon size but you could opt for a amaller size, which I don't remember what it was, 48 or 64. They charged less for that. It was costing us $32/mo when we left in 2006. We could put out the recycling can whenever we wanted but they encouraged us to fill it first. It usually took us 3-4 weeks. Anyway, I just pass that on for reference. We vote for it.

What I was looking for (and the answer you gave) was that rates if we do nothing will go up more than if we switch. My only concern is that those of us in older subdivisions with small garages and homeowners associations that prevent us from leaving carts outside will be in a bind trying to store a 64 gallon hard container. Again, thanks for you time. I hope the change passes. Chris »> "Steve Sedlacek" <ssedlacek@sscwaste.com> 4/29/2009 11:25 AM »> Chris - Please be aware that the $13.45 that you currently pay is going to rise more rapidly under the current system if no change is made. There is no incentive to curtail volume at the curb since there is no rate structure that promotes waste reduction. We're attempting to move to a system where the more you put out the more you pay or the less you put out the less you will pay. Right now those that recycle and put out less subsidize those that put out more. If we don't change systems the increasing cost of disposal will be shared by all customers equally and there are those who don't want that to continue. Of course mechanically lifting the waste is safer for my employees so I have an interest in seeing it change too. You're right though, if you don't recycle and like to put out a lot of waste every week you will not support this change. What is interesting is that of all the e-mail I am getting on this about 60-70 percent are in favor of the switch. We'll see what happens on the 19th of May at the City Council meeting, I hope you can make it.

If I currently pay $13.45 for essentially unlimited volume and non-mandatory recycling, 1 why would I support a change to a capped volume of 64 gallons for the same monthly fee? Right now I can put bags out and they're picked up, and I have room for bags in my garage but not for a 64 gallon can, and my homeowners association says I can't leave the garbage can outside. I recycle every week and have limited garbage, so for me personally I wouldn't pay any more, but I'm just trying to figure how the average person I see on my street, who has a lot more garbage put out each week and doesn't recycle, would support the change. Chris »> "Steve Sedlacek" <ssedlacek@sscwaste.com> 4/28/2009 1:49 PM »> Chris - The new system requires that you select a single can size for your waste (either a 64-gallon or a 96-gallon) with more being charged if you select the larger container. You will also have a 64-gallon or 96-gallon recycling cart. This is equal to at least 4 standard garbage cans - you'll just need to be sure that you get the trash in the waste cart and recyclables into the recycling cart. So, if you can put more in the recycling cart and select a smaller waste cart you reduce your monthly cost. It's not based on the weight of the cart it's based on the volume of the cart. Pricing is still under discussion with the City Council and will depend upon a number of things that occur this Fall. I don't mean to be coy but I don't know the specific rates at this time. In general terms I can tell you that your current rate is $16.33 if you use one of our 95-gallon carts. If you don't rent a cart it is $13.45. I am estimating that your rate will be about $14/month if you chose a 65-gallon cart and rise to about $18/month if you use a 95-gallon cart. Please understand that these numbers WILL CHANGE. We need to know what landfill fees will be in October, what financing rates will be, and what costs to recycle commodities will be before a final number can be calculated.

Does this mean the monthly trash bill would be based on the weight of the trash in the non-recycle cart, or that it will cost more per month to have a large cart instead of a small one? Appreciate any info you can provide. It will help me decide how to provide input on the proposal. Regards, Chris No virus found in this incoming message.

In my community, each household was issued three disposal cans; one for paper, one for glass/plastic/cans, and a larger one for trash (not yard waste which was collected at the curb for composting). People quickly learned how to position their cans for collection and it worked for all. The only problem you might encounter here is storage of cans out of sight behind fences or in garages. Folks here do not seem to like to conform and I don't think Meridian has the means to enforce the rules, so we could have a community with garbage cans everywhere.

I think the wording in the newsletter is throwing off a lot of people. If we switch to an automated collection system there will be one monthly charge you get from the City. There will be no separate rental charges for any of the carts you will need. The larger the "waste" cart you select the more you will pay per month. So, rather than everyone paying the same as we do now we'll have a system where if you put out more you pay more and if you put out less you'll pay less. By providing a more convenient, larger recycling cart we believe we will divert more material from the landfill.

In reference to your return question... Our F~cperience: In the gated cammunity we lived in California, the properties were smaller as well as the Gammon areas and their yard waste was handled by a gardening campany. The corporation may have had an understanding or agreement with the trash campany for the garden waste to be picked up every ether week. I know on the 1/3 acre we have here that would net be practical. Gayle How did you like the every other week yard waste collection. Was it a problem to go two weeks without collection?

A lot of your personnel costs could have been avoided by adding some more basic information. The way this notice was written brings up more questions. 1.) what are the cart sizes to choose from? 64-gallon and 96-gallon 2.) what will be accepted in the new recycle cart? When you will not have the human to separate what the homeowner had already separated (like plastic & metal) Everything that is accepted in the current bin would be accepted in the commingled cart. 3.) Is there a weight limit? The carts have a weight limit of about 200-250 pounds. 4.) how will grass collection be handled? Currently it would be considered as waste. We are working with the City of Meridian to develop a yard waste collection program so the material could be collected separately and composted. 'The timing of this issue may delay the implementation of the overall program. 5.) how will batteries, oil; other collected be handled? Normal household batteries are to be put in your waste cart. Larger, more hazardous batteries -like laptop batteries -can be dropped off for free at the household hazardous waste site each Monday from Noon to 7 pm in our parking lot. Used oil can be set out at the curb in a translucent container and it will be dumped into a collection reservoir on our trucks and it will be recycled. Up to 2 gallons per week can be placed at the curb. 6.) will there be recycling of glass? No. Currently that material ends up in an ACRD gravel pit by the State Prison. Some is reused as a glass aggregate product but very little is productively reused. 7.) (most importantly) how do people tell you what size recycle cart they want? An excellent question. I think people will need to consider how much waste they throw out each week and consider if they would need two standard garbage cans (a 64-gallon cart) or three standard cans (a 96-gallon cart). The difficulty will arise when we add a recycling cart to the mix and understanding the impact it has on reducing the waste volume in the waste cart. Needless to say we will have to allow people to exchange carts for some period of time after implementation. 8.) what is the procedure for requesting the return of residents extra existing trash carts? As we approach the implementation of the program we will need to set up a web page for people to select the 5/15/2009 Page 3 of 3 cart size they want and indicate if they have a cart to return to us. The roll out of the cart delivery will be a very chaotic time. Our Experience: The recycle cans are a very good idea. We have had them for many years in California. One for trash, One for yard waste that was collected every other week; One for paper, and believe it or not the same smaller bind for glass plastic and metal How did you like the every other week yard waste collection. Was it a problem to go two weeks without collection? The programs do evolve. It is good to see that the haulers will be exposed to fewer injuries.

My biggest comment is to why are you giving the residents the choice of containers? The reason for this change is 1) to reduce the trash and 2) to help with the efficiency of trash collection.. Why don't you force everyone to take a certain size container for trash and a certain size container for recycling. With two containers, however, the trash container will still have to be a decent size to take yard waste as well, where other cities I know have 1 small trash, 1 large recycle, 1 large yard waste and 1 small glass recycle. Educating the public will be key in getting everyone used to the new system, but in the end, it will be well worth it. There is my 2 cents, hope to see this move forward soon. thanks for your time.

We are working on a yard waste program but don't have a permitted site yet to take the material too. We also need to figure out the economics of how it will work. If adding the program increases costs too much then homeowners won't want to sign up for the program and it won't work. But having said all that we are working on it and trying to figure it out.

I especially like the recycling bin that doesn't require separation. Hopefully more people will take advantage of recycling this way. I am curious if you have taken into consideration a "green waste" bin--for collection of grass clippings, tree branches, leaves etc. to be processed into mulch. I have lived in communities that offer a third bin for this purpose. We choose not to grasscycle at our home because we have many children who use the lawn for playing all summer long--it can be itchy and messy.

Though I will not be attending the open houses, I WANT CO-MINGLED RECYCLING! ! ! I am very conscious of what we put in the trash, and it is not much. Almost all of our waste is put out in the recycle bin and I would LOVE to be able to co-mingle in one can all our recyclables. I also think this will make it easier for others to start recycling because it will be less work for them. Along this same train of thought, because we do not put out very much trash, it would be much nicer to have a smaller can to take up less room in our garage. I am definitely in favor of the automated collection and recycling system. Please also add me to the a-mail update list at this same a-mail address.

Please understand this is significantly due to what I considered the tragically unrealistic trend line that Portland Metro chose to take in their strategic and tactical deployment of waste management and recycling. I do so hope that SSC will learn from what Metro did on the positive as well as from their plunders. although not included here, I would be more than happy to meet with you to discuss these topics in further detail. For now, let me just wet your appetite by saying that the nature of waste management is a significant dimension of regional planning and development along with land use planning, transportation, public utilities, etc... given that, I would consider it reasonable for you to be working closely with the resources at COMPASS as part of your 5 and 10 year strategic planning effort. enough said for now. I look forward to us getting together when your calendar permits. regards, - bill William Boehm 2173 N Wingate Ave Meridian, ID 83646 208.887.8563 home 208.887.8564 fax 503.516.0678 cell wboehm @_cableone. net From: Steve Sedlacek [mailto:ssedlacek@sscwaste.com] Sent: Monday, April 27, 2009 1:28 PM To: wboehm@cableone.net Subject: FW: meridian trash -new system.... 5/15/2009 Page 2 of 3 Mr. Boehm -Thank you for your comments, they will be passed along to the City Council and Mayor for their consideration on the evening of May 19.

Your container is 96-gallons in size. We will be using that one or a 64-gallon container. The larger the container the more you pay. -for recycling we have been using the plastic bins. if those will not be used, are we to tum them back in? You will be using a rolling cart for the recyclables just like the for the trash, so you'll have two carts. The small green bins can be turned in at our offices at 2130 W. Franklin but we'll probably have a program to pick them up at your house as we get closer to implementing this program. -yard clippings i put out front in plastic bags. will you still take those in that fashion? Yard waste will need to be in your waste cart. The mechanical arms can't pick up things outside of the carts. - other yard clippings were tied and set out. will you still take those in that fashion? IThey'!I need to be stuffed in the waste cart. We are looking at a separate yard waste collection program but ', we don't have a composting location at this paint. This issue may delay the implementation of the program. Perhaps this is too much like Portland? now don't go getting weird on us like they are back in Portland, OR. That's one of the reasons why we moved from there. The waste collection policies back there are absolutely terrible -worthy of voting city council members out of office if that's the direction you are headed. on the other hand, if you are making these changes to compliment the existing great quality comprehensive and flexible pickup service you currently provide -well then, that is great!!!! keep up the good work! - bill William Boehm 2173 N Wingate Ave Meridian, ID 83646 5/15/2009 Page 3 of 3 208.887.8563 home 208.887.8564 fax 503.516.0678 cell wboehm@cableone.net email wmhboehm@amail.com alt email No virus found in this incoming message.

Steve Sedlacek Sanitary Service General Manager From: Matt Adams [mailto:matt@thelandgroupinc.com] Sent: Monday, April 27, 2009 1:53 PM To: supervisor@sscwaste.com Cc: Angie Adams Subject: City of Meridian -Automated Collection System We are in favor of the proposed Automated Collection System. We have the following questions; If I choose a smaller trash container what does SSC do with my old one? We will have a system where new carts are delivered prior to the start of the program and old ones will be picked up by our crew. If you switch after the implementation date, we'll just swap one container for another. The "Talkin Trash" news letter states that if I put less in the trash container I save money. How does this work? Could you please clarify? The new system requires that you select a single can size for your waste (either a 64-gallon or a 96-gallon) with more being charged if you select the larger container. You will also have a 64-gallon or 96-gallon recycling cart. This is equal to at least 4 standard garbage cans -you'll just need to be sure that you get the trash in the waste cart and recyclables into the recycling cart. So, if you can put more in the recycling cart and select a smaller waste cart you reduce your monthly cost. Pricing is still under discussion with the City Council and will depend upon a number of things that occur this Fall. I don't mean to be coy but I don't know the specific rates at this time. In general terms I can tell you that 5/15/2009 Page 2 of 2 your current rate is $16.33 if you use one of our 95-gallon carts. If you don't rent a cart it is $13.45. I am estimating that your rate will be about $14/month if you chose a 65-gallon cart and rise to about $18/month if you use a 95-gallon cart. Please understand that these numbers WILL CHANGE. We need to know what landfill fees will be in October, what financing rates will be, and what costs to recycle commodities will be before a final number can be calculated.

Kim ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Sedlacek To: mitchkim793@msn.com Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2009 6:02 PM Subject: FW: New Collection System for Trash Dear McKinstry's -thank you for your comments about the new program. They will be forwarded to the Mayor and Council prior to the May 19th meeting where we will discuss this matter further. With regard to the regular trash collection -you will be required to pick a container size that meets your needs, either a 96-gallon or a 64-gallon cart, and fit all of your waste into it. Since bags and cans are not compatible with the mechanical lifting arm of the truck we won't be able to pick them up. You can rent additional carts for an additional fee. Basically, the more you put out the more you will pay or the less you put out the less you will pay. Right now everyone pays the same. We do understand that one of the greatest problems in converting to this type of a system is the collection of yard waste in the summer. We are working with the City to try to figure out how to cost effectively collect this material and get it to a composting facility. We may end up with a three-cart system. One for commingled recycling, one for trash and one for grass and food waste. Please send me another a-mail if you have further questions.

I think the wording in the newsletter is throwing off a lot of people. If we switch to an automated collection system there will be one monthly charge you get from the City. There will be no separate rental charges for any of the carts you will need. The larger the "waste" cart you select the more you will pay per month. So, rather than everyone paying the same as we do now we'll have a system where if you put out more you pay more and if you put out less you'll pay less. At this point grass is garbage and should be put at the curb with all of your other waste. In the new system we'd like to establish some sort of yard waste collection route where we could pick up that stuff and not landfill it. That program would cost extra for all of those interested in participating -we're working on how much that would be. If the cast were too high and residents did not want to participate then the grass would go in with all of your other household waste. If I can clarify any other issues please drop mean a-mail.

Or would 1 just continue to put the grass clippings in waste cart/garbage can. 1 believe that my wife and 1 would be interested in starting the cart(s) program but would like to know first about the additional fees that would be involved.

With regard to the RFID chips, we are considering using them in the carts far tracking purposes. Eventually it would be great to weigh trash and recycling but the state of the weighing mechanisms is rather iffy at this point. As far as glass goes there are drop off locations in the area -none in Meridian -that take the glass to an ACHD gravel pit where the material is dumped. Every few years the material is ground up and mixed with rock to make a glass aggregate for road building. Unfortunately very little of it is reused since there are very few roads being built. My opinion on the program is that it is not sustainable since there is way more collected than is ever reused and the program will have to end at some point in the not too distant future. I am trying to avoid offering a program that I later have to eliminate. Many people want to "recycle" glass but at this point there's no good end use for it. I wish I could be more optimistic.

I have lived in areas where it was in use, and it's great. Not much different from what I see now, as we use a toter, but the addition of a single tote for recyclables will be great. Not to have to sort will make it easier, and there will be slightly less to have to recycle (old grocery bags used for sorting that they now often take, etc.). My only wish is that glass be added to the recyclable materials, as I hate to see large bottles go into the garbage. It reminds me of a new system, not available here, called Recycle Bank, which uses single collection toters with an RFID chip. The toter is then weighed and the homeowner is given points depending on weight collected which can be redeemed at various partners, such as Sears, Target, PetCo, etc. 5/15/2009 Page 2 of 2 The change will be welcome, and a great way to end rolling cans and blowing lids in the neighborhood.

The recycling system that you have now does not work very well for us.

You will be charge one monthly fee for collection just as you do now regardless of how many times you set your waste at the curb. If you want to put grass in your waste cart that's fine but it will have to be contained within the cart under the new program.

A lot of your personnel costs could have been avoided by adding some more basic information. The way this notice was written brings up more questions. 1.) what are the cart sizes to choose from? 64-gallon and 96-gallon 2.) what will be accepted in the new recycle cart? When you will not have the human to separate what the homeowner had already separated (like plastic & metal) Everything that is accepted in the current bin would be accepted in the commingled cart. 3.) Is there a weight limit? 5/15/2009 Page 2 of 3 The carts have a weight limit of about 200-250 pounds. 4.) how will grass collection be handled? Currently it would be considered as waste. We are working with the City of Meridian to develop a yard waste collection program so the material could be collected separately and composted. The timing of this issue may delay the implementation of the overall program. 5.) how will batteries, oil; other collected be handled? Normal household batteries are to be put in your waste cart. Larger, more hazardous batteries -like laptop batteries - can be dropped off for free at the household hazardous waste site each Monday from Noon to 7 pm in our parking lot. Used oil can be set out at the curb in a translucent container and it will be dumped into a collection reservoir on our trucks and it will be recycled. Up to 2 gallons per week can be placed at the curb. 6.) will there be recycling of glass? No. Currently that material ends up in an ACHD gravel pit by the State Prison. Some is reused as a glass aggregate product but very little is productively reused. 7.) (most importantly) how do people tell you what size recycle cart they want? An excellent question. I think people will need to consider how much waste they throw out each week and consider if they would need two standard garbage cans (a 64-gallon cart) or three standard cans (a 96-gallon cart). The difficulty will arise when we add a recycling cart to the mix and understanding the impact it has on reducing the waste volume in the waste cart. Needless to say we will have to allow people to exchange carts for some period of time after implementation. 8.) what is the procedure for requesting the return of residents extra existing trash carts? As we approach the implementation of the program we will need to set up a web page for people to select the cart size they want and indicate if they have a cart to return to us. The roll out of the cart delivery will be a very chaotic time. Our Experience: The recycle cans are a very good idea. We have had them for many years in California. One for trash, One for yard waste that was collected every other week; One for paper, and believe it or not the same smaller bind for glass plastic and metal How did you like the every other week yard waste collection. Was it a problem to go two weeks without collection? The programs do evolve. It is good to see that the haulers will be exposed to fewer injuries.

Thanks Joyce Stuart ---- Original Message ---- From: Steve Sedlacek To: drimstuartCa.msn.com Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 1:59 PM Subject: FW: Trash Danny and Joyce - thank you for your comments, they will be forwarded to the Mayor and Council for consideration at their May 19th meeting. I think you'll want two of the smaller cans but here's a synopsis of the new system. The new system requires that you select a single can size for your waste (either a 64-gallon or a 96-gallon) with more being charged if you select the larger container. You will also have a 64-gallon or 96-gallon recycling cart. This is equal to at least 4 standard garbage cans - you'll just need to be sure that you get the trash in the waste cart and recyclables into the recycling cart. So, if you can put more in the recycling cart and select a smaller waste cart you reduce your monthly cost. Pricing is still under discussion with the City Council and will depend upon a number of things that occur this Fall. I don't mean to be coy but I don't know the specific rates at this time. In general terms I can tell you that your current rate is $16.33 if you use one of our 95-gallon carts. If you don't rent a cart it is $13.45. I am estimating that your rate will be about $14/month if you chose a 65- gallon cart and rise to about $18/month if you use a 95-gallon cart. Please understand that these numbers WILL CHANGE. We need to know what landfill fees will be in October, what financing rates will be, and what costs to recycle commodities will be before a final number can be calculated. Let me know if I can answer any more questions, Steve Sedlacek General Manager Sanitary Services 5/15/2009 Page 2 of 2 From: DANNY R STUART [mailto:drjmstuart@msn.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 12:17 PM To: supervisor@sscwaste.com Subject: Trash We are definitely in favor of your new automated collection system.

As to your questions, what to do with extra material is the biggest issue that comes up. Yard waste in particular in the Spring is everyone's concern. If you have extra material on a given week you would have 4 choices on what to do, 1. Put extra in your neighbors cart if there were room, 2. Bring extra to the transfer station where you'll have to pay to drop it off, 3. Take extra to the landfill where you have to pay to get rid of it, 4. Hold it over for a week until you have room. All of these choices are somewhat undesirable given the fact that there is unlimited collection now -people are use to the convenience and the new system will require more time and consideration. We will offer extra carts that can be rented if a customer just has so much stuff they are consistently over loaded. There will likely be a week -after Christmas -where we go back to unlimited collection but that won't help with yard waste issues. To address the specific issue of yard waste collection we are looking at developing a composting facility where we could take yard waste rather than the landfill. This may delay the implementation of the limited collection system until we can figure out the cost and logistics of how to collect this material. Bulky item collection would be collected but billed to you on a rate schedule approved by the City Council.

From what I gather there will be no more collection of trash that does not fit into the trash container. Most of the time this is not a problem. There are many weeks I don't even put my container out because it is not full. However, the spring time is another matter. I consistently have weeks where I completely fill the trash container and two other small trash cans. Most of that is due to tree limbs and shrub clippings. Will there be special weeks set aside for those kinds of pickups. I don't have a truck or any means to take such things to the dump myself, and I don't compost. What about odd-sized trash that may not fit into the containers? Thank you. Carene Cooper No virus found in this incoming message.

I think that would be a positive step. Currently, my family recycles. We put plastic,glass,aluminum and tin in one bin and cardboard and paper in another. We do not sort, so I take the recycling weekly to Boise Recycling. I would appreciate the ability to put everything in one container and put it on the curb. I am sending this email as I will not be able to attend the open house to discuss this plan and hear it's details. If put into service, I feel this plan would benefit Meridian as more products would be recycled and there would be less waste. On a personal note, it would make my life a little easier to put out two cans each week and know my recycling is done. Will we have parameters of what products are recycling and which ones aren't?

We lived for two years in the Salt Lake valley, and that is how it was done there. Recycling was so much easier, although we will recycle no matter which way is needed. One thing they also offered that helped tremendously with bulk waste was they had a spring AND a fall neighborhood collection event where they put out large dumpsters either on the streets in the neighborhoods or in convenient locations in each area of the city. They would have the convenient location dumpsters out M-F for one week in each area, but I believe the ones placed in the streets were only aone-day type system.

Yes, it will be very similar to the proposed Boise program although I cannot say I know exactly what Boise will do. In the new system you will have a much larger recycling cart (probably 65 gallons} that you can throw all of your recyclables in. We expect recycling rates to increase by at least 30%. Unfortunately it costs money to process the recycled material (currently $15/ton} but it's better than burying it. Yes, the bags do blow around, we hear that a lot and this would not require any bags. The curb sorted system we have now has done well and has greatly increased recycling in Meridian but we need to consider a change.

Your questions regarding automated collection are good ones. I hope you can come to one of the open houses. If you can't the answer to your question is that you will have to make some choices about excess waste. With acan- limited system you will have to select the size of "cart" you want (either 65 gallon or 95 gallon) understanding that the larger the can the more you pay. You will also have a 65 gallon or 95 gallon recycling cart into which you throw all of your recyclables (NO glass however) and so the more you can put material in the "recycling cart" the more available space you will have in the "trash cart". You will also be able to pay for additional trash carts if you need them. If on occasion you have excess waste you could bring it to our transfer station on Franklin Road (there would be a charge to dump) or you could put some in a neighbors can if they would allow it. You will not be allowed to put any of your own bags or cans out for collection, they can't be picked up by the trucks. One of the purposes of this new system is to get people to think about what is recyclable and give a financial benefit if you recycle more. The other consequence of this system is that those that generate more waste will pay more and those that generate less will pay less. Let's talk about grass clippings though. One of the most significant problems we have is the disposal of grass in the landfill. Waste volumes go up significantly in the Spring because of yard and garden waste. After we implement this program every homeowner will have to evaluate what to do with their grass. In the short term it can be mulched when you mow or you could set up your own composting pile in your yard and add your kitchen waste to the grass. Some homeowners will have to rent a second cart for the 5/15/2009 Page 2 of 2 summer and pay more. In the long run the answer is for all homeowners to have a third cart where we collect yard, garden, and food scraps. This material would go to a centralized composting plant and reused within the City or for residents that need it or want it. Unfortunately, there is no centralized facility at this time and it may take a few years to develop. I hope this answers your questions. If not please send me an e-mail reply or call me at 888-3999.

We do have Fall leaf collection every year where you can set out bags of leaves for free for one week.

You can bring the bags to our transfer station and drop them off for a fee (free during the Fall leaf collection period) but you may not have a truck to get them all to us.

An old acronym: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Seems to apply here. At a time when our economy is in a downturn, what a bad decision to make to eliminate jobs that are so important to our economy. Currently, I use a 33 gal container with a 45 gal bag which makes it very easy to tie off and leaves something the trash man can grab ahold of. We take the bag out of the container and leave it on the sidewalk in a manner that is easy for the trash man to retrieve. I have timed these folks and they take less than 10 seconds to pick up and load the trash from my place. I have also watched your new mechanized system operate down in Salt Lake City, guess what: They take 40 to 50 times longer to load, they are very noisy and requires no vehicles be parked anywhere close. You talk about eye sore.......we have very limited space to put these new containers. They might have to sit in our driveway which is very undesirable (eye sore). Currently, with our 33 gal container and your little green recycle box we are able to sit them inside our garage door and it works great. It seems that greed and your desire to make more money or increase your overall net assets is driving we the public out of the picture without voter input. It would be nice if you end up going this direction, that we older folks with lesser quantities of 5/15/2009 Page 2 of 2 trash be able to continue status quo at our election. You didn't state in your "Talkin Trash" what the two sizes of the containers were. That would have been very informational. The "Statesman" said in Boise there were three sizes and they listed them in the paper. Their smallest size 48 gal is still too big for our garage. We need the 33 gal size.

As you suggest it is not a good tune to be looking for work. Indeed we will be using equipment that will require one-man trucks versus two. We hope to absorb the extra workers into other parts of our business and the one-rnan trucks will not be phased in immediately up implementation. We do have many months to go before this is implemented so normal attrition will take care of some of the openings. We will also require a new mechanic to work on the trucks and an additional cart delivery person to support the system. One point to remember is that this type of system allows our employees to have long and healthy careers with us. Without the switch over these employees will last about 10 years before their bodies give way to injury and they end up looking for new work. I think of this as a way to preserve employees.

Fourth, we don't think it is right for anyone to charge us for recycling when it makes them money!

By the way, if you truly want everyone's opinion why not consider holding the meeting on different days of the week since this is not a one size fits all society. I am against your new limited trash collection plan. Why should I be limited in how much I can throw away and be required to use your two wheeled cart that I am required to pay extra for. If it was unlimited and the carts were provided for free and it makes your job easier and safer then I'm all for it. We all know that at different times of year there are extra things that must go in the trash like pruning debris. I am concerned that if trash collection was limited that peoples trash would accumulate in their yards making all the neighborhoods look trashy. If you implement this new plan please consider unlimited collection and provide the containers for free. This way everyone wins. You win because it would be simpler and faster and safer for your collectors and we win because we are not penalized for making your job easier. Sincerely, Kathleen Easton 2699 W.

I for one place the majority of my trash in two standard size cans I rent from you and the recycling collection bin also from you. If you begin to restrict what I can throw away I see it becoming a mess dumped into the desert. You may get a lot now but at least you know it all ends up where we need it to. I will not leave the grass clipping on my yard I think it becomes a huge mess and looks very poor. If it really was a small fee I would gladly deliver it to the SSC station but your prices there are already inflated and again I think a lot of people will dump the grass where ever it doesn't cost anything. I have delivered numerous truckloads of bushes, limbs, and lawn debree to the station and when they started calling it "wood" and charging me way to much , what can I say.

Steve Sedlacek General Manager Sanitary Service From: mhunke@powereng.com [mailto:] Sent: Thursday, April 09, 2009 1:56 PM To: supervisor@sscwaste.com Subject: Automated garbage pick-up Hello, I was reading the Trash Talk newsletter and noticed the potential change to an automated pick-up service. I read through the benefits and found no mention of reducing the cost of garbage collection nor abatement of future cost increases. Actually, I found no benefits aimed at the customer. One of the points was a free recycling container-which replaces our free recycling container. Another benefit is not having to buy a trash can. Well, we already own a trash can. There is a statement about different sizes of garbage carts, but no indication as to what those sizes may be. We have a 35 gallon trash can, that we probably fill 2/3 full on average. Is one of the different sizes on par with our current receptacle, as I'm really not interested in giving up more garage space for some monster garbage can. Perhaps we should have done a better job with the newsletter. The new system will have two can sizes, a 64- gallon and a 96-gallon size. Remember, you'll have two of them -one far trash and one for recycling. The larger size (96 gallon) is the monster size that you refer to. Each customer will be required to fit all of their waste into the trash can size that they choose. So there will be a natural incentive to increase the amount of recycling and conserve the trash can volume for trash only. Usually in this type of system the recycling rate increases by 30% to 50%. We do plan to offer a smaller can size - we might call it a "senior" can -that will be a 32-gallon can for those that have very little waste. It would be a cheaper rate still but only available to those that meet certain conditions. Boise will be rolling out this type of system on June 1 using a 96-gallon, ti4-gallon, and 4$-gallon combination of cans. 5/15/2009 Page 2 of 2 The cast of the 96 gallon can service will be more than the 64 gallon can but actual cost of the service will be determined as we know more about what the county landfill rates will be on October 1. Basically we are moving toward a system where customers that put out more will pay more and those that put out less will pay less. Your family is probably in the put out less category. As landfill rates continue to rise this system will allow us to put more cost on those that put out more. I have no qualms with your current service. Its average toabove-average in comparison to other areas that I've lived. Maybe in the next Trash Talk newsletter, you can highlight some actual customer benefits.

I think the wording in the newsletter is throwing off a lot of people. If we switch to an automated collection system there will be one monthly charge you get from the City. There will be no separate rental charges for any of the carts you will need. The larger the "waste" cart you select the more you will pay per month. So, rather than everyone paying the same as we do now we'll have a system where if you put out more you pay more and if you put out less you'll pay less. By providing a more convenient, larger recycling cart we believe we will divert more material from the landfill. Will there be layoff? Perhaps. We are holding some positions open in other areas of our business for those who work in areas where there could be staff reductions. The conversion to a one man truck does not mean that 50% of my staff will be laid off. We have about S2 employees here and the most that could be laid off would be 10. That number is highly unlikely however since I have a lot of work in other areas. It is also important to remember that if we don't change systems then 100% of these employees will eventually lose their jobs - due to injury or age. It is not possible to have a sustained career lifting 20,000 pounds per day into the back of a truck. This change over will allow some of the employees to have long careers with us. With regard to the cans blowing over, these new ones are much less susceptible to that problem and they have lids that cannot come off so that should be an improvement. Let me know if you have any further questions.

We did have a few questions. Will we be charged for the trash container? It states that the recycling container is free, but currently if you have a wheeled container there is a charge. There is another issue of safety. My neighbors have varying containers for trash and everyone puts out the trash and goes to work. When you drive through the subdivision if there is any wind at all the trash cans are all over. They look bad and are a hazard if a car were to hit one. One more question, will workers be laid off? If the driver can manage the container and never leave the vehicle perhaps there would be a lot of layoffs for the guys currently putting the garbage in the truck. I typically see at least 2 guys working -one guy driving and one guy picking up. Does that equilibrate to 50% of the workforce reduced? The economy is already struggling and if so many people are without jobs the situation will only worsen. Elise Heil No virus found in this incoming message.

The kids watch for the trucks a chat with our guys many weeks, we like your emails and when we've had to call in for something it has been a very good experience. We like that we can leave out one can one week, and three if we have a heavy trash week. Heather and I want to strenuously voice our vote against the proposed plan of "automated" trash pickup. We have always been frustrated by companies and municipal agencies that attempt to charge us for improvement that are better for the company/agency. The wheeled trash bins are an example of this. Since it is so much better for the company, why is there a additional charge to us? It seems greedy, to have us pay for an service that SSC wants to provide for their ease and reduction of expense. I suppose the driving force of this effort is so ultimately you can reduce headcount, reduce liability insurance and other such expenses. Valid goals to be sure for a business, but we are not in favor of the change. We feel like if you go to automated, we'll lose the ability to throw away all our trash some weeks, and our costs will go up.

Under the new system there will be no separate charge for cart rental. There will be just one amount billed to you from the City. One benefit of changing to this newer system is that those that put out less, pay less, and those that put out more, pay more. I think in general this will benefit the older residents of the City.

When making your decisions, please take into account the fact that one can purchase a 32 gal garbage can for $10-15 and it lasts several years. Requiring everyone to rent a can from you costs $36 a year minimum.

After about 10 years of lifting that much repetitive weight the human body tends to give out. If you have any mare questions please don't hesitate to reply to this a-mail.

First of all the recycling cart is free but not apparently the garbage cart. It seems the one who loses is the customer that has to pay extra after providing their own cans. It also appears that you will punish people that don't follow your ideas of recycling. 5/15/2009 Page 2 of 2 We do recycle but it looks to be a short way from garbage police. Secondly, we don't think it is unsightly to have inconsistent containers so whoever does can pay my extra costs to follow your opinions. Last of all we have followed the required weight limits. At sixty pounds there should be no injuries to common sense people. Now people are too weak to lift garbage and a machine needs to do it.

One person versus two on my route and others. In this event will the savings be passed on to the consumer or is this merely an effort to raise profits? SSC will reduce the number of route drivers although we will need other personnel such as mechanics and cart delivery people to support the system. The largest cost will be the $3 million in carts and trucks required for the program. Basically we'll be making bank payments rather than payroll payments. Rates will be about the same as you are paying now although we will be moving toward a system where if you put out more you pay more and if you put out less you will pay less. With the current system everyone pays the same basic price. Making the neighborhood consistent one night per week with regard to "garbage cari aesthetics" or consistency is far from my list of top priorities. I agree. This is not an issue that anyone cares about. 5/15/2009 Page 2 of 2 2) Regarding the carts and cans within them. Will these be provided to the consumer for free? Or will this be a profit center for SSC? In other words making money from the rental of carts, cans and personnel reduction per route. Carts will be provided as part of the basic rate - no additional rental fee (unless you need more than the two carts we will provide). We aren't making money off of rental fees. Reading between the lines this seems to be a forced "rent our tash cans" ploy by SSC to increase profit while passing no savings on to the consumer. I await your response.

I have a big problem with this new system. As far as recycling goes, I don't have a problem separating my paper and plastic - we have a good system set up here and it doesn't create a problem for us to separate our stuff. However, the problem I have is with having to purchase or pay a monthly fee for using one of YOUR trash cans. When we moved to Boise and bought our house and set up our bills, we were told that we would have to RENT your big green trash cans at whatever the price was at the time or we could buy one of our own that fit with your size standards. Well, we did the math and it was a complete RIP-OFF to the customer. You can buy a regular trash can that's within your size limits (and take it with you when you move) or you can throw your money away by having to rent one of yours. With this new program you want to install you are taking away my rights to not have to pay to use your trash cans just so your people don't have to get out of their truck. 5/15/2009 Page 2 of 2 The reasons you list are crap. Our homeowners association has very strick rules on how long we can leave our trash cans outside and there has never been any complaint as to the different colors or sizes as they are only at the curb for a few hours once a week. Another one of your listed reasons is ridiculous (no need to purchase trash cans). Well, why the hell not -you can take them with you when you move. And what do you suppose we're supposed to do with the ones we already have and can no longer use IF your program goes through????? I see this as just another way for you to charge people money and your customers get nothing in return. If people want to keep their ALREADY ACCEPTABLE TRASH CANS -that your company approved - you can't make us stop -it's called THE FLEECING OF AMERICA. There's a program on TV that outs companies that do it to people. Maybe I should call Channel 7 and see if they'll do a segment on how you're ripping us off. If you want to offer this program and NOT charge the customer for EITHER the recycle bin or the trash bin then fine, but to now charge us for something else in these tough times is just plain wrong -shame on you. I'm paying you to take away my trash - I'm not paying you to rent one of your bins when I have perfectly good ones now. Thank you, Julie Crotz No virus found in this incoming message.

I am sorry that there is not a web page where you can read about this stuff. It is a good idea. The proposed system will require those that put out more to pay more and those that put out less to pay less. The monthly price that you pay will be one rate with no rental costs. The larger the can size that you select the larger the monthly cost. You will initially have the choice of a 64-gallon can or a 96-gallon can. You will also have a similarly sized recycling cart so that you can divert as much as possible into that cart, saving space in your "trash" cart. Rates for solid waste collection were last increased on 11/15/2008. They are adjusted on or about October 1 every year. I'm not aware that they went up recently. If you have more questions please send mean a-mail. You are also always welcome to come by our offices at 2130 W. Franklin. I can give you as much info as you like and you can check out the carts.

I am perfectly happy with the present system. I am very conscience about my recycling. I do not like the idea of larger trash cans sitting around. However I have seen others who don't seem to be quite as organized about it, and leave a lot of unsightly things at their garages or curb. My bigget complaint is the thoughts that have expressed about the grass clippings. You are not right in that clippings left on the lawn Great a very bad growth. I have been taking care of my yard for many years. At the time when grass catchers were not an item with mowers it was a lot of work to rake separately to give the grass a chance to breathe. Rent a machine to clear out the dead accumulation and then rake, etc. My lawn never looked better than when I was able to purchase a mover with a grass catcher. And why do you suppose the professional 's use that method, even though they have to dispose of the clippings? And I think that is why the catchers were invented to begin with. I think you are putting all the disposal business on our shoulders. I do not think we should have to haul off the clippings and pay to get rid of them. We pay for trash service and that is what I want! Joeann Patrick, 2692 W. Willard St., Meridian, ID 83642 No virus found in this incoming message.

The purpose of the new system will be to have customers that throw away more, pay more, and those that throw away less, pay less. It sounds like you would be in the throw away less pay less group. In the new system you could select a 65 gallon cart (smaller than the ones that we "rent" now). Your rate with the new container should be about the same as what you now pay and then as landfill fees rise in the future your rate would not rise as fast. Actual rates will be determined as we get closer to implementation and we know what the landfill rates are going to be. The City Council has tentatively scheduled this topic for further discussion on May19. I hope you can make to the meeting. Send me another message if you have more questions.

I guess if I saw workers wearing back braces, etc, then I might buy into this. I dona€TMt believe that 100% of your workers will lose their jobs, and frankly I would like to know what a a€oebetter chancea€ means. How can you not cut workers when the trucks I have seen currently have two persons and the new trucks have one. I am required to provide workers any safety equipment they request. Some employees wear braces while others choose not to. The injuries that occur are to knees, ankles, shoulders, backs, etca€; If you dona€TMt believe that 100% of my workers will lose their jobs I suppose I could pull out my labor rosters from 10 years ago and we could see how many are still throwing trash on a residential route. The way I can avoid layoffs is to expand my business into other areas as well as not replace workers 5/15/2009 Page 2 of 6 that leave us. SSC recently expanded into Canyon County and I am currently holding some positions open on those routes. Also I will need more cart delivery personnel. Abetter chance means that they tail continue to work for us. As I said all human bodies wear out throwing trash into the back of a truck. 2. It would help if your email would include a rate structure, without one you leave us to wonder. Eagle was generous enough to allow me to keep my current trash can and let me put out what ever I wanted. I paid for this and would ask the Meridian leadership to be as generous. The rate structure is vague at this time because there are items I will need to know more specifically as we approach implementation such as landfill fees (scheduled to change 10/1/09}, bank interest rates for the $3 million in debt that will betaken on (what banks will be loaning money this October?), the cost of recycling the commingled commodities (currently $15/ton but changing on a monthly basis), etca€ Eagle does allow an opt out of the program although they do require all customers to have a cart. Interestingly enough I have heard that $0% of the customers opted out. The only problem I have with that type ofprogram is that if most people opt out why have the program? One last point about the Eagle program that concerns me is why would a customer pay more for unlimited trash when all they have to do is put extra bags at their neighbors stop a€" therea€TMs no way Ia€TMII know where it came from. 3. I dona€rMt want two of your carts, and wona€TMt accept a recycling cart, unfortunately I will no longer recycle. If you choose not to recycle theta€T~s your choice. There will be customers who can fit all of their waste into a 65-gallon cart without recycling and they will pay a lower amount. Everyone will be different. I guess in short, I would ask the Meridian City Council to respect the wishes of a few constituents and allow us to continue with what we like, and what we pay for. The Council should be hearing this on May 19 a€" I think. Be sure to check the Citya€T""s website to be certain.

Many residents are in favor of the changes. Currently, those who have very little waste pay the same rate as those who have large families and produce a lot of waste. This change will allow you, as someone who generates very little trash, the lowest rate. 5/15/2009 Page 3 of 6 We contacted Steve Sedlacek, President, of SSC for his comments. He would like to reiterate why they may be switching to a different type of collection system: 1. It protects workers. 100% of the workers currently on rear-load trucks will lose their jobs if we do nothing. The longevity of a worker throwing 30,000 pounds of waste in the back of a truck on a daily basis is about 10 years. After their injuries mount, they look for different jobs because they cannot physically continue to do the work. If we switch systems there is a better chance these employees will have a long career with us. 2. It is more equitable to the rate payer. The new system will require you to pay more if you put out more and will let you pay less if you put out less. If we continue with the current system, future landfill rate increases will be passed on to all equally and there are many opposed to that idea. 3. It promotes recycling. It requires all citizens to think about the waste they are putting on the curb and try to reduce what they throw away. Mr. Stambaugh should benefit financially now and even more into the future if we switch. There will be at least two and probably three different can sizes that will more easily fit into your garage. He sounds like the type of customer who would normally support this type of change. Steve It is important to be able to voice your opinion and hear directly from Sanitary Servicesa€'''" administration. They are currently holding open house meetings to share information about the new process. We all want to have economical trash service and SSC has done a great job in planning for the future.

Please see my responses to your questions. I have a few questions about the proposed automated collection system. The email from Symantha Miller states that "You choose the size of trash and recycling container that best fits your needs." Will there be a one-time charge for the containers? Or will there be a monthly fee dependent upon the size of the container? There will be no one-time fee. The billing system would charge you a flat rate for your monthly service based on the size of waste receptacle that you select. For example a 65 gallon cart user would pay probably pay around $14/month and a 95 gallon cart user would pay about $18/month. How do we select what container(s) we need? Will there be a order form in our monthly statement as we near October? 5/15/2009 Page 2 of 2 Container selection would be on-line or you could call us and tell us what you want. Putting something in the monthly bill as we near the implementation date is a good one.

In your message, you wrote; "Meridian's mission is to be a safe, attractive, and inviting community that is a premier place to live, work, and raise a family," I'm sure it is only going to be 30 or 40 jobs, but at 30k a year, for 30 guys -that's $900,000.00 lost to our community, being replaced by a machine. In the SSC article, it stated that it would "Reduce injuries to SSC trash haulers," this is true, if they are no longer employed by SSC -they will no longer get hurt.

I am usually abig-time recycler, but I haven't made use of the city's system because I would have to have at least 10 of those little bins each week! I currently stockpile my newspapers, etc., and then take it all to one of the huge recycling dumpsters around town. I was unable to attend the open houses, but I truly hope those who did attend embraced the beauty of the system and are as excited about it as I am. Thank you for making the recycling process simpler and virtually hassle-free. I am a HUGE supporter and can't wait for the change! Final note: could you please add me to the SSC monthly a-mail?

I think anything that encourages people to recycle more is a good idea. People should be fined for not recycling as happens in so many other countries. I look out on trash day in utter dismay at the waste people have and vast amounts of it. I 6/5/2009 Page 2 of 2 just have a few questions, but I am all for the system as I recycle about 85% of my weekly trash. Will the charges to trash collection be done by weight? The charge will be a monthly charge based on the size of the waste cart you select. You can use either a 64- gallon cart or a 96 gallon cart. Prices for each are under discussion with the City Council at this time. We have considered weighing the waste and charging accordingly but at this time there are no automated collection arms that will weigh trash accurately enough. The weighing mechanism would need to be "legal for trade" and we are not aware of any that meets this criteria yet. Will there be a limit to the amount of trash each household can dispose of? You will get to put out your waste cart each week for the monthly fee you pay to the City. You will be allowed to purchase "tags" that can be placed on extra bags and cans if you have too much waste on a given week. So, the more you put out the more you will pay -there's still not going to be a limit on the amount -you'll just have to pay more. What size will the recycling trash can be? You can select a 64-gallon cart or a 96-gallon cart -whichever fits your needs - no price difference on what you pay the Clty. All recycling will be thrown together in one cart, no more sorting. Recycling collection will be every other week. Marjorie Wylie Internal Virus Database is out of date.

Thanks, Matt Ellsworth Associate City Planner Meridian Planning Department 33 E. Broadway Ave. Meridian, ID 83642 208.884.5533 5/19/2009 City Council Special Meeting/Workshop Tuesday, May 19, 2009 4.H. CDBG -Recovery Act: Proposed Project Update A. INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND In anticipation of additional fixnding for PY2008 that the City may receive through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act), City Council initiated a public hearing and comment period on Apri121, 2009, on a proposed substantial amendment to the PY2008 CDBG Action Plan. The amendment added a new project to the PY2008 Plan - to purchase and install playground equipment, game tables, and other amenities in Centennial Park. The public hearing and comment period is scheduled to conclude on May 26, 2009. HUD released guidelines for use of CDBG -Recovery Act funds to entitlement communities on May 6, 2009. After reviewing the guidelines, staff is concerned that the proposed project fails to meet the intent of the Recovery Act as outlined by HUD. Centennial Park improvements lack the diYect impact on job creation, energy independence, environmental sustainability, and economic stimulus that HUD guidelines and other related documents mandate. The guidelines require the City to adopt and submit an amendment to the PY2008 Action Plan in order to secure its CDBG -Recovery Act entitlement. The deadline for submittal of the amendment is June 5, 2009. B. UPDATE In light of the guidelines released by HUD for use of CDBG -Recovery Act funds, staff identified a project that (1) more closely aligns with the intent of the Act and (2) is still permissible within the parameters and requirements of the CDBG Program. That project is to construct amulti-use pathway over the recently installed culvert across the Five Mile Creek into 8~' Street Park. A map of the proposed project is included as Attachment 1. The project is "shovel ready" with environmental clearances, and it is designed to federal standards. In compliance with CDBG regulations the project will require an income survey of residents within the Park's service area since it is located outside of the approved LMI area as recognized by HUD (which is also true of the Centennial Park project). C. RECOMMENDATION After discussing the situation with the Planning Director and Deputy City Attorney, staff proposes the following: 1. Keep the amendment to the PY2008 Action Plan, which proposes adding a new project to the 08' Plan, on track. Rather than continuing with the previously contemplated project, however, the City can instead solicit public comments on construction of the 8a' Street Pathway. CDBG -Recovery Act: Proposed Project Update May 19, 2009 Page 1 of 4 2. Delay the conclusion of the public hearing and comment period from May 26, 2009 to June 2, 2009. This allows two weeks for interested parties to review and provide input on the proposed change. The two-week review and comment period exceeds the minimum (one week) condensed timeframe required by HUD for projects that will receive CDBG -Recovery Act funds. It also allows the City to adopt and submit the required PY2008 Action Plan amendment within the timeframe set by HUD. 3. Include an update memo along with information that is currently available about the amendment at the Meridian Public Library, Meridian Senior Center, and City Hall. 4. Notice the change in project and comment period conclusion date in the Valley Times and Idaho Statesman on Monday, May 25, 2009. A draft notice is included as Attachment 2. C. DIRECTION REQUESTED Staff seeks Council's input and direction on the course of action outlined above.

The proposed project was to install playground equipment and other amenities in Centennial Park, located at 237 E. Idaho, Meridian. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently released guidelines on use of CDBG funds through the Recovery Act, and, upon review of HUD guidelines, the City has determined that the initially proposed project fails to meet the intent of the Recovery Act. The City will consider improvements to Centennial Park for use of a future year's annual entitlement through the conventional CDBG Program. The City therefore proposes a different project for the in-process amendment to the PY2008 Action Plan and for use of the CDBGRecovery Act assistance. That project will construct a 10' multi-use pathway across Five Mile Creek and through 8~' Street Park, located at 2235 N.W. 8th Street, Meridian. The City will also extend the public comment period associated with the in-process amendment to June 2, 2009 from May 26, 2009. This will allow interested parties an opportunity to review the revised amendment and provide comments for consideration by Meridian City Council. The associated public hearing on the revised amendment will conclude in concert with the public comment period at the regular City Council Meeting on June 2, 2009. During this period, all comments should be addressed to Associate City Planner Matt Ellsworth, who maybe contacted by mail: City of Meridian, Planning Department, 33 E. Broadway, Meridian, ID 83642; by phone: (208) 884-5533 (Dia1711 for TTY); by fax: (208) 888-6854; or by a-mail: mellsworth(a),meridiancity.or~. Additional information about the revised amendment is also available at the Meridian Public Library (1326 W. Cherry Lane), the Meridian Senior Center (133 W. Broadway Avenue), and in the City Clerk's Office of Meridian City Hall (33 E. Broadway Avenue).
