Green Business Scholarship: De Weerd: Item No. 6 under Department Reports, we will start those with our Planning Department. Canning: Madam Mayor and Council, this is the third time we have got together to discuss potential use of the Idaho Power rebate money and before the Council meeting today you handed me an a-mail from Joe Borton suggesting that perhaps the savings would be -- or the rebate would be best kept as savings and rolled into the General Fund for future years and I did want to comment on that briefly. It's certainly a valid consideration, but the idea when we got this Idaho Power rebate with staff and the Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 4 of 57 Mayor's office was to kind of leverage that into other ways of letting the community know about sustainability, about energy efficiency, about conservation and to kind of carry that sustainability concept further. So, those were the -- kind of the guidelines that we went forward with, looked at having an investment in the community, whether the project was visible to the public and whether it -- what kind of energy benefit it might have to the community. So, I am going to go ahead and make the presentation and get to some of the answers that you had asked for in the previous discussions. The second item on the agenda is the discussion about the green business scholarship, but I'm actually going to talk about that first tonight. Met with Mark Gilbreath from Vegaworks and we talked more about what that scholarship program could be and what the best use would be given some of the concerns that we had heard from Council and I think what we ended up was that it's more of a grant program, instead of a scholarship program. The idea would be to give small grants for new green jobs or for having a new job in a green workplace or for greening the workplace and I will go into more details on this. And lalso -- I'll explain the partnership and some of the promotion ideas that we had associated with the program. The first thing we wanted to do is give you all an idea of what a green job was and I got tired of putting in quotes, because quotes take me a really long time to type. So, I just -- the quotes are gone. But a green job would be any job in an organization that provides a product or a service that allows customers to either consume less, either because of a lower price or greater efficiency or produce more due to the utilization of this product or service, both of which actions reduce total energy use. So, that's the kind of -- the definition we are looking at. So, it could be a service, it could be a product, it could just be your place of work. What we would ask for with the new green job is a detailed business plan or job description associated with that to demonstrate that it truly is a green job and, of course, it needs to be located within the city limits of the City of Meridian. So, that's more of the detail you asked about for a green job. And, then, we looked at what would we look for in a green workplace and the first thing you would have to do is document that you are choosing a green workplace through either lease or purchase agreement and, then, it would need to be a LEED certified or pending certification work environment. And, then, also for home occupations if it qualified for a home occupation and that's how you were doing it, then, perhaps an Energy Star rating for the home would also qualify there. And, again, it would need to be located within the City of Meridian. And the final one was greening the workplace. Again, you'd need to document that you were greening a current work environment in the City of Meridian by acts such as going digital, instead of paper, buying recycled paper and other products, reducing single occupancy commutes, accommodating telecommutes, adding solar panels or wind generation, adding instant water heaters, installing complex florescent or LED lighting, adding environmentally friendly insulation, replacing single pane windows -- there is thousands of things that you could do. What we thought the best process would be is once you were selected as a grant recipient, you would go and you'd purchase the items, you'd bring in the receipts to the city and, then, we would do, essentially, a rebate on purchases up to 1,000 dollars. So, again, this was mentioned as a partnership program. It would -- and now a grant program. The City of Meridian we had contemplated a 50,000 dollar contribution. We are still looking at 40 grants at just a thousand dollars each and, then, we'd reserve 10,000 to promote and administer the program and, then, Vengaworks Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 5 of 57 would contribute 20,000 and what their 20,000 would go to is 20 matching grants at a thousand dollars each for the green work environment ones. So, you wouldn't be giving anything to people to go there, they could choose where they want to go. If they do choose to go to Vengaworks, then, they would match that grant from the city and go there or they could go to another place. This is just what Vengaworks would do. They would match it if they came to them. So, that's more on the -- the idea of who it would go out to. The promotion idea we decided to reserve a little bit to advertise the program prior to the awards, promote the grant recipients when awarded and, then, evaluate the end results through jobs created, energy saved, and, really, the idea was to --the ability to leverage the grant program in gaining positive press coverage and have an impact on the marketing and economic development of the city. That was a lot of the driving impetus of -- of this particular one was not only energy savings, but also economic development. And, then, again, to -- once you have those results to promote them for the economic development of the city. So, I did do a summary comparison of the projects. It's been awhile since we have talked about some of them. So, I'll quickly go through that. We have got the Farmers Market, which the one year cost that they were looking at for primarily set up and advertisement was 8,500 dollars. It is an investment in the community. I think everybody's enjoyed seeing it out in the parking lot on Tuesdays. It is visible to the public. It does create some local jobs and it would not be eligible for the block grant program. The energy benefit -- it does reduce energy use to transport food from farm to table. I did get some statistics from Margo, the woman kind of heading up the effort on the part of McFadden Co-op and the research she found shows that most food travels 1,500 miles on average before -- from farm to table. So, if you look at the fuel efficiency of a big rig and the price of diesel per gallon, if all that food that was purchased there today came in one truck, you would be saving about 568 dollars per market day. Now, obviously, it's not going to come in on one truck. But that's just some idea of the magnitude of what you save by having -- by reducing the distance that food travels to get to the table. The green jobs -- again, we had talked about 50,000 dollars. It is an investment in the community. It's somewhat visible, depending on how much advertising and promotion we do. Does create local jobs. It would be eligible for the block grant. It reduces the energy cost of work space and potentially through new projects. You know, the results will really vary on the businesses that receive the grants. And, again, this is why we wanted to put in some assessment money at the end, so that we -- we can make that kind of assessment. But just as an example, a LEED certified work space, particularly Vengaworks, uses 40 percent less energy than a typical class A office space. So, those are significant energy savings. And, again, it's complimentary to and aligned with our economic development efforts with regard to the health sciences comdor and it leverages those funds and supports that story. The green art -- the original estimate came in around 30,000 dollars. It's somewhat an investment in the community. It is very visible to the public. That would be the -- the primary purpose. It at least creates a local job for one artist, hopefully. Hopefully more. It would not be eligible for the block grant. The energy benefit is that it demonstrates green technology in a very accessible form and it would, hopefully, encourage others to adopt some of those principals within -- that they could within their own home or workspace. Council Member Hoaglun asked me to look into two additional ones. One was lighting downtown. The was 2,200, somewhat an Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 6 of 57 investment in community. We already have the lights, it would just be modifying them. It wouldn't really be visible to the public, because they are already there, nor would it create local jobs. It would be eligible for the block grant. It does reduce energy use and cost by installing the photo cells and compact florescent bulbs and the -- if you figure -- if you figure the -- just in the -- the timer, installing the photo cell timers, that will probably cut the energy use by about half. So, there is about a 50 percent savings there. And, then, the compact fluorescence are an additional 66 to 80 percent reduction for those. And LED may even be a better choice. But those are some options. So, there is energy savings there. The adding the outlets downtown, that was about 7,000 dollars, is an investment in the community. It's not really visible to the public or creates local jobs and it wouldn't be eligible for the block grant, because there is not really any energy benefit, it's an esthetic benefit on that one. So, it's certainly -- it's a community benefit, but it wasn't an energy one. So, with that I will answer any questions you have. I also -- Mark Gilbreath is here to answer any questions you might have of the partnership grant program and I will leave it to you all now. De Weerd: Mark, do you want to add any comments to the presentation or just avail yourself to Council if they have any questions? Okay. Council, again, we anticipated this early in November when the assessment started with Idaho Power and when they presented the check I had talked to the Council and were of the mind to create energy with this -- this recognition for the sustainable assets that we made to this building. It's -- it's been a long time in the making and trying to find the best use for this and to come back and answer the questions that were generated from the first discussion, but I would ask if there is any questions at this point from the Council. Zaremba: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba. Zaremba: First a comment on the subject of how it gets used. I didn't get the feeling when the check was being presented that Idaho Power thought that it was going to go into the General Fund and just be used. I thought they assumed there was going to be some special programs. So, I appreciate -- De Weerd: They hoped. Zaremba: -- former Councilman Borton's comments, but I did not interpret the intent of it the way he did, apparently. Second is a question. On the grants up to 1,000 dollars, are we putting a limitation that that has to be 40 different businesses? In other words, one business couldn't get a thousand dollar grant for windows and come back in and get another thousand for instant water heaters, it would have to be 40 different businesses? Canning: That is what we had anticipated. Yes. Zaremba: Thank you. Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 7 of 57 Hoaglun: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Hoaglun. Hoaglun: Question on a -- on that grant. If businesses want to do this, it sounds like they come in after the fact. There is no pre-qualification -- you know, a thousand dollars may not make or break the project, but if the business is looking at replacing windows, for example, they might just go ahead and do it and, then, that's a benefit. But if by chance we have more people than we have funding for, I think it would be good to let them know that they're number 41 and not number 40 on that -- on that list. So, if they go spend the money and expect a thousand dollars, that they are not going to be left out in the cold, if we can use that, but -- Canning: And I had anticipated that they would -- we would take -- have a limited window open where we took in applications and, then, we awarded those, so you know that you now have the thousand dollar grant and you can, then, go green your work space, but bring the receipts back to us when you purchase them, rather than just handing them a thousand dollars and we don't know what happens to it, was the idea, so -- Hoaglun: Okay. That's better. Canning: I tried to build in some accountability on each of these with minimal staff time to administer it is what I was striving for, so -- Hoaglun: Okay. Thank you. De Weerd: Any other questions from Council? Canning: And Madam Mayor -- and these were just really rough. We could get into a lot more detail once we know if this is going somewhere. This was just some preliminary ideas on how to understand what those grants would be. Rountree: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: I don't have a question, I have a couple comments. I like the idea of the grants program. I'd prefer another name. Canning: I'd be happy to change the name. I can do that. De Weerd: Any suggestions? Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 8 of 57 Rountree: Not at this moment. I think it's great that it leverages additional dollars that could come into the program. I'm not sold on the other items that are on your matrix in terms of really promoting sustainability, energy efficiency, et cetera, et cetera, and I would like to see at least half of that 100,000 dollars remain in an account and as we come up with better ideas -- we might have some energy activity that we want to do in our own facilities that we don't have to spend General Fund dollars to accommodate and could utilize that or we could put it out in yet another grant program. But I'm not excited about getting it all out there at once. De Weerd: Mr. Rountree, Iguess -- so, we will be getting the energy -- what is that called? Community -- community energy block grant and that is where we are looking at our carbon footprint and looking at how we can, through also partnering, make an impact in that regard. Again, the intent on these dollars were to kind of -- what is that program? Pass it on? It's not a hand out, but it's ahand -- hand up. Yes. The Hand Up Program, so -- it falls short when you have to get public participation to help me finish my sentence, uh? But I guess the idea was to really be able to bring this high profile to let people know about our sustainability and in doing so, even with the energy grant money, that it will be coming because we are an entitlement city, we have been looking at other kinds of programs to -- as an economic development tool to attract kind of the family wage jobs that we are looking at and it's -- it has something to do with the joint submittal that we did with Vengaworks and Sysco and U of U and some other companies. But it's -- it's really putting a stake in the ground as being a smart city and the more we research this -- and I hope to have a meeting when I go to Holland with the smart city -- the first smart city in the Netherlands to find out they have had a huge economic boom because of the sustainability programs and the -- the accessibility for employers that they are looking for future technologies and a community that has a dedication to it. This is definitely a small thing and it helps more the small business, which is a great launch into tomorrow's Meridian business day, but it is trying to carry that message that we would like to recognize in a small fashion those that catch a vision of sustainability, because we tum this environment over to our kids and it's certainly something I take serious. Mr. Bird, did you have a comment? Bird: Oh, I just agree with Councilman Rountree. I don't mind spending the 50,000, plus, I guess, 20,000 matching -- is that right? De Weerd: Uh-huh. It's been that. That's Mark's. Bird: Well, I -- I don't mind that. I would like to keep the other 50 and use it as needed. I think the 40 lot grants -- well, 1,000 dollars probably isn't going to buy a lot of windows or a lot insulation. At least it's a start and would help a lot of people and I think that's something that would be very beneficial to the community. I could go along with that. The other ones I don't believe I could support at this point. De Weerd: Okay. So, Council, what -- looking for a direction. Rountree: Do you need a motion or do you just need a shaking of the heads? Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 9 of 57 De Weerd: I think I probably want a motion and, then, we can bring you back if -- if we do the -- the job part we will bring some clearer direction. Staff didn't want to get too deep into it if that was not a direction you were look at going. Canning: And, sirs, if you -- if you have comments on -- like if you'd rather it was 20 grants at 2,000 each, then, you know, let me know. I just pulled 40 at one out of the air, assuming that you would want to spread it a little longer, but there is all sorts of combinations there. Sony. Hoaglun: Madam Mayor, I have a question for our parks director Mr. Siddoway on the lighting. You know, originally when -- when I was looking for projects, because I saw the need where we have got a check for this building, which is energy efficient, and I think we ought to use money for -- that helps taxpayers and save money and that project came about. Is there funding available that you can come up with to do that or is this something we should still consider orwhat's -- what's the process for that particular project? Siddoway: I currently do not have a separate funding source. I would actually recommend that you consider at least the -- the one that is the change out of the bulbs and the light sensors. That one does have a clear direct benefit to energy savings and I do believe it would be visible to the public, because I think that people do see and notice that the lights are on those banners 24 hours a day right now. So, the ability to put on light sensors and to change that. Anna's right that the second project, which is the outlets, is more of an esthetic benefit than a true energy savings. It would just be eliminating the long cords, but the one the -the one that is changing out the bulbs and putting the light sensors on so that it only comes on during dark hours would be a direct energy savings. Hoaglun: Madam Mayor. In fact, I think we have -- I have seen an a-mail on that from a citizen complaining why are the lights on all the time, but -- so -- and that was 2,200 dollars, was that the estimate for that project there? Okay. Thank you. De Weerd: Okay. Any further questions? Rountree: I have a question for Mark. Did you anticipate just one per each thousand dollar grant in the money you were going to match or could that be several thousand to applicants based on the business plan? Gilbreath: Our philosophy was similar to Anna's in that we saw that we wanted to leverage as much as possible, which was to create as many positive stories. So, from our standpoint it was how small can we parse it down, yet it still be compelling enough, as Mr. Bird said, that it makes a difference. And so, you know, there wasn't any science to it, but our intuition said that, you know, a grant of two or three thousand dollars to a small business made a meaningful dent in the cost of work space or a creating a space. So, that was --don't want to overstate the science that went into it. Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 10 of 57 Rountree: Okay. Thank you. De Weerd: Did you have a comment? Canning: No. Just on the thousand. So, if the 40 grants at a thousand dollars each -- Mr. Bird brought up a good point. It's not going to buy you much if you're trying to green your workspace and that's the one where the thousand dollars doesn't seem to go very far on that one. So, we could structure it so that that particular one was alittle -- a larger grant and that may be appropriate as well. De Weerd: Get you a couple windows, Keith. Bird: I can tell you that won't even buy one window sometimes. De Weerd: Okay. Further discussion? Rountree: I have none. De Weerd: Okay. Rountree: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: I move that we direct staff to move forward with the grant program in the amount of 50,000 dollars, a maximum of 40 grants, or that number that could be generated in combination of no grant exceeding 2,000 dollars. And of the 10,000 dollars of that that was set aside for administration of the program, we take out 2,200 dollars and move forward with the lighting accommodations for the streetlights, so we can get them shut off during the daylight hours. Bird: Second. De Weerd: Okay. Any discussion on the motion made? Zaremba: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba. Zaremba: I'm not clear on what the intent is for the other 50,000 dollars that we would just hold until there is another idea? De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba, I think the discussion was to hold that, maybe make it available at a later time seeing the success of the grant program and -- yes, hold those funds. Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 11 of 57 Zaremba: So, it could be added into the -- similar programs later? De Weerd: Uh-huh. Zaremba: Thank you. Canning: I will file a request with Finance to roll that over into the next fiscal year as well. De Weerd: That would be great. Rountree: Thank you. De Weerd: Okay. Is there any further discussion? Madam Clerk, will you, please, call roll. Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea. De Weerd: All ayes. Motion carved. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Canning: Thank you, sirs. De Weerd: Yes. Canning: I just said thank you. De Weerd: Thank you. And thank you, Mark, for being here. We appreciate your matching to that. He's using the 20,000 dollars that he received also for his green building. So, thank you. Maybe we can talk about it tomorrow at Meridian Business Day. That would be cool. E. Mayor's Office: 1. Resolution No. Rob Walker to Arts Commission: Appointment of De Weerd: Okay. Thank you, Council. And if Council doesn't mind, I would like to move the Mayor's Office up as the next item, as E-1 and 2. This way the students that are out here -- and I don't know -- oh, there is Michael and there is Madeline and I don't know -- Naomi -- is Naomi here as well? Yes? Oh, there you are. Now I know who you are. Okay. If you don't mind, Council, can I move this -- if there is no -- Bird: Go for it. Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 12 of 57 Rountree: Yes. Please do. De Weerd: Okay. Otherwise, we would have our legal, public works, bore you to tears and, then, you would really take issue with us. No offense, Boise. Okay. Item number one is the appointments to the Arts Commission, as well as to the Parks Commission. And, Council, I do have my appointee Rob Walker in the audience tonight and we appreciate Mr. Walker being here. It looks like he brought his kids with him as well, uh? After I ask Council to confirm the appointment I will see if you have any words to share. We had three very highly qualified applicants that had a broad and diverse background that could have added to the current City of Meridian Arts Commission and we are very excited to have Mr. Walker joining us and, Council, you do have information in front of you that he submitted as part of his interest to joining the commission. He adds yet another perspective to the commission. He's got a lot of great experience that will broaden their ability to look at fundraising and friend raising and just speaking out to our youth. So, I would make myself available to any questions if you have any. Bird: I have none. Rountree: I have none at this time. De Weerd: Okay. I would ask for a motion, please. Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: I move we approve resolution 09-666, the appointment of Rob Walker to the Arts Commission. Rountree: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second. Any discussion? Hearing none, Madam Clerk, will you call roll. Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea. De Weerd: All ayes. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. De Weerd: Congratulations, Mr. Walker. If you would like to share any words. And I'm already impressed that you got your son to dress up in a suit. I mean that's awesome. Walker: He works on Capital Hill, so -- Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 13 of 57 De Weerd: I was going to say that is true love for your father. That's great. Walker: Well, thank you, Madam Mayor. I'm excited to serve the City of Meridian and there is a lot of good things to come in the arts. So, appreciate the opportunity and we will make it happen. Okay? De Weerd: Thank you. And you don't have to stay for the rest of the meeting. I said that for the benefit of your kids. C. Resolution No. Reappointment of Ashley Williams to Seat 9 of Parks and Recreation Commission: F. Resolution No. Appointment of Matthew Schultz to Seat 2 of Parks and Recreation Commission: De Weerd: Okay. The next item is the appointments to the Parks Commission that we pulled off of the Consent Agenda. I'm asking for a reappointment of Ashley Williams to seat nine of the Parks and Recreation Commission. Ashley has been serving on the Parks Commission for the last year. She's been very reliable. She engages. She's very quiet, but she certainly has served and represented the youth very well. Our other appointment is for seat number two and that's for Matt Schultz. As you all are familiar with Matt and the work he has recently done in getting us the most recent park acquisition and so, Council, I would ask if you have any questions. Rountree: I have none. Bird: I have none. Zaremba: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba. Zaremba: I move we approve resolution 09-664, the reappointment of Ashley Williams to seat nine of the Parks and Recreation Commission and also approve resolution 09- 665, the appointment of Matthew Schultz to seat two of the Parks and Recreation Commission. Hoaglun: Second. De Weerd: Okay. I have a motion and a second. Any discussion? Madam Clerk, will you call roll. Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea. Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 14 of 57 De Weerd: All ayes. Motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. 2. Scholarship Award Winners: De Weerd: Okay. The next item I will just go down to the floor. Okay. It is my honor to recognize our scholarship recipient this evening. Three out of the four were able to join us this evening and I just have the pleasure of knowing all three of them and these are certainly leaders in our community and let me share a little bit about each of our scholarship awardees or recipients. Naomi Moxley is graduating from Meridian Medical Arts Charter High School and plans to eam a degree in nursing. She's been accepted at four colleges and will decide her collegiate destination very soon. She is well prepared for a career in health care, having volunteered with local youth organizations, schools, hospitals, scout troops and with the elderly. Throughout school she has been active with the Health Occupation Students of America organization, holding both local and state offices. She's been involved with DeMolay, Job's Daughters, and her church's youth groups. She is described as intelligent, capable, and personable and is said to have poise under pressure and great tenacity, qualities that would be very useful for a future nurse. Let me read the descriptions and, then, I will ask each of you to come and join me. Actually, why don't you come on up now. Michael. Madeline. Madeline Pfeifer will also graduate from the Meridian Medical Arts Charter High School. You know, that Charter High School is just phenomenal. I can tell you that the kids that we've had with the youth council and those applications that we read, they have already achieved such amazing things in their high school years. So, I congratulate you both. Madeline will also graduate from Meridian Medical Arts and she would like to study biochemistry at Arizona State University or the University of Utah and eventually specialize in toxicology. She, too, has a well rounded record of volunteerism and participation in school, community and faith groups and a nearly flawless academic record. Her activities have been as diverse as raising money for MYAC, which is the youth council, for Habitat For Humanity, to educating others about the danger of drug use as a member of the Meridian Anti-drug Coalition. She says her community involvement has motivated her to work on new projects and to use her voice for change for the better. She is described as a dynamic young woman who serves as a wonderful role model for others to follow. Michael Proffitt is going to graduate from Meridian High School and he's given his keen interest in government and makes perfect sense that he plans to study political science and pre law at Seattle University. While maintaining a status as an academic high achiever, Michael participated in the Mayor's Youth Advisory Council and Boys State, Skills USA, 4H leadership camp, the Idaho Safe School Coalition and the Boise Leadership Academy and many other worthy causes. As a member of the Meridian High School Student Council he and his classmates spearheaded the Inclusion Revolution movement, which challenges others to be kind, tolerant and accepting of others differences. It certainly sounds as if all of these young people have exciting times and future ahead of them and it's with great honor that I recognize them with the City of Meridian scholarships and I will just read you this Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 15 of 57 scholarship plague. In recognition of your high level of community involvement, academic merit, and outstanding leadership potential, it is my privilege on behalf of myself and the City Council to present these scholarships to you and wish you great success. I know you will go out and change the world and we expect that and we want our annual updates. Okay? I do have City of Meridian pins for you as well. Canning: Get them before she starts crying. De Weerd: Okay. We did miss the last one and he will join us at another Council meeting in the next week or two, so we can recognize him as well, and his name is Tyler -- or Tyler Hale and he's from Mountain View High School. Okay. Thank you, Council, for allowing me to do that. B. Legal Department: 1. Annual Update on City Prosecution /Criminal Legal Services with City of Boise: De Weerd: Item 6-B is our legal department. I will tum this over to Mr. Nary. Nary: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. The first thing we have in our report -- or department report tonight is our update of our city prosecution and criminal legal services. This is our contract we have with the city of Boise to provide those services. Annually they come to report to you the work that's been done and accomplished and the progress of this contract with the city. Tonight we have city attorney of the City of Boise Keny Colaianni is here, as well as their Chief Deputy Steve Rutherford, and Mandee Russell, their most integral member of their team I know is here as well. But take it away. De Weerd: And they did tell me they would be brief. Nary: I asked them to be as brief as lawyers can be, ma'am. Bird: Which lawyers. Colaianni: Good evening, Madam Mayor, Council Members. Keny Colaianni, the Boise City Attorney. Thank you, Bill, for that kind introduction. Probably need to tweak a little bit our reason for being here tonight. This is not our annual discussion that we have about the contract, rather, I think I would probably describe it as promise fulfilled. A year ago during our presentation you will recall that I promised you that we would come here on a quarterly basis and provide to you statistics through our new case management system that is now managing all of our cases, both for the city of Boise and the City of Meridian's cases. Pretty interesting and I think beneficial program that you're going to see tonight. Mr. Ruthertord is going to show some of those reports to you. He's going to walk you through them. But let me say this: We have a state of the art cutting edge case management system that not only allows us to do our cases in Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 16 of 57 court every day, but give you all a metric to judge our performance. We will be able to come here every year and -- actually, every quarter and show you how we are doing, what's our conviction rate, how many cases of yours do we have, how do they break down from domestic violence to DUI. We will be able to provide that information to you on a quarterly basis every year and you will be able to monitor us. You will also get a look at how we work with your fine police department. I think we do a very good job right now, maybe not so much with Mr. Basterrechea, but overall we do a nice job. De Weerd: I don't know if anyone can. Colaianni: But I will tell you this, we will be able to show you how the two agencies are working together. You will see that in these reports on a quarterly basis, if not an annual basis. And before I tum this over to Mr. Rutherford I would just like to say that Mandee Russell, who is here tonight -- Bill introduced Mandee. Bill's absolutely correct, Mandee was instrumental in getting this program engineered. The company that we went with, the vendor, is an outfit named New Dawn and we engineered this system alongside the company for your work, with your work in mind, and how we process it every day, that's how this thing was put together and I'd like to thank her and Teny Derden, who is not here tonight, but he's one of our advisors to MPD and he was instrumental in getting it up and running as well. So, with that Mr. Rutherford will come up and talk to you about the reports. Rutherford: Thank you. Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I'm going to have my lovely and talented assistant Mandee Russell hand the reports out as I speak to you about them. Important to know that our prosecutors and our support staff are loading this case management system every day with every bit of information. It has every bit of information from any of the criminal cases that we handle for you and that we handle for the Boise city police department. And it is because of the constant entry of information after each court hearing, when we get a case in the first instance, when the case resolves, when the case goes to trial, that's the reason we can provide you the reports we do. The first report, the one you're looking at now, entitled MPD all charges incoming, this is a quick snapshot from January 1 to today's date of all of the charges that we have received from your police department that we have active cases for. You will notice we have it broken down by infraction and misdemeanor. There is also a felony mixed in, because occasionally we will get a Meridian felony case on conflict from the county, who is statutorily obligated to provide prosecution on those cases. Infractions are worth noting as well, your typical speeding, going too fast for conditions, running a red light, those kinds of things. In large measure and the reason the numbers are so low, there in blue, is because folks pay those. Folks wander into the clerk and they pay those infraction citations, you know, 75 bucks, 100 bucks, they pay those. So, about a third of the -- somewhere between kind of 20 and 33 percent of those actually come to us and the reason they come to us is because the people who go to the counter say I'm not going to plead guilty, I want a trial. So, we open a file for those and end up taking those to trial and -- and try those to a judge. Now, the misdemeanors are of note, the maroon -- the maroon misdemeanors list as 265 in January, 205, those are criminal charges filed by -- filed by us on behalf of your police department for cases that Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 17 of 57 are either arrested or citations were issued or we received some reports and determine that charges are appropriate and we file those. So, this gives you a pretty good snapshot of what your officers are up to, how many charges they are shipping us and how many cases we are working on with your police officers at any one time. Now, that is a snapshot of the charges we have received from you. This system also allows us to do what we call clearance rates, it just allows us to see not only the cases every month that we are getting from you, it allows us to look at cases every month we are disposing for you. So, you can really get a good picture of how many we get, how many are going out the door as closed, as finished, and so as we ship you those reports on a quarterly basis you will be able to see just how busy your law enforcement officer are and how busy we are on your behalf. The second report you have got -- hopefully you have or that Mandee is going to hand you, is entitled the Meridian top ten charges from January -- again, January 1 to May 26th, today's date. Just an interesting bit of information for you, really gives you the idea of what your -- what your officers are doing out there in the field. It will assist you as we go forward and -- and the chief of police in looking at trends, what are the charges, what are hot button charges, do we have a DUI problem. Boise tracks this and we know we have a DUI problem in the downtown core and tend to direct patrols and our city council can budget in that direction and the chief of police that focus patrol efforts in that area. So, this shows you from -- from, again, the first of January until today's date the number of different type of charges that you're seeing. Again, infractions like speeding that are on there should have an asterisk, because most of those get paid. I'm sure your police department probably writes four times that amount of speeding tickets on a quarterly basis, so -- but important for you to know, again, for trend analysis and deployment of resources. Finally, the last thing I'm going to have Ms. Russell hand out is not a prettied up bar graph, at least in the first instance. It's a -- this is, actually, the report that gets generated from -- from Justware and these are the things we take to make the prettied up charts that you're looking at now. This is a DUI conviction rate and we will get focused a little bit about -- on the type of charges your folks are dealing with. It's of interest to you and interest to your police department to see what types of charges and the number of charges you are generating. So, here this is a disposition report. So, it shows you how many cases are resolved, not how many are coming into our office from your officers, but how many are resolved out the back door. You will see on the left-hand side this is a Meridian city specific, we can run this report to include all jurisdictions Kuna, Eagle, all those we handle on conflict, Boise, Ada county, but this is just DUI's, just Meridian city, and you will notice we have split them out, because there are a number of different kinds of DUI's. There is the vanilla DUI at 18 eight thousand 4.1.A. There is an enhanced when somebody blows over a 2.0 there is that type of DUI. There is the second offense drug or alcohol DUI for those folks who have had experience. And, then, there is 18 eight thousand 4.1.D, which is underage DUI. So, again, as you go across from left to right you can see how cases concluded with guilty pleas by month and it totals out at the -- at the right-hand side. You will notice in March there is an acquittal column. This computer program is pretty smart and when it sees -- when the prosecutor goes in and closes a case as an acquittal or as a -- the jury finds the defendant guilty, that shows up and populates in another -- another column, so we know we are losing jury trials or we are -- these DUI's are going to trial and we are winning them that way. In January and February and April Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 18 of 57 and May, for that matter, you can see folks are pleading guilty. There is a reason for that. Your officers, in concert with our prosecutors, are training in a very dedicated way, because DUI's are, obviously, important, they pose a public safety risk. Your folks -- your Meridian police officers take a very hard line on these cases and do a great job and so most of the time when our prosecutors go to court these aren't the toughest cases to handle. Occasionally one goes to trial. As you can see in the last few months we have really had one case go to trial that was a DUI and it's usually those close cases that should go to trial. It's the really close cases that will go to trial and -- so, that provides you an idea of how many cases from January to May 26th we basically disposed of and that number is 96. It will also give you a conviction rate and that might be helpful for you to grade our performance. Now, a really nice feature is if you turn to the back side of this report you will see something called a charge history report. All those cases that we receive as DUIs have one -- one flavor of DUI or another that ends up resolving it something different. Prosecutors are famous for amending charges. If you talk to most police officers they think that every charge gets plea bargained, right? Well, this allows us to quality control our prosecutors. Those cases -- these are the cases from January to April that came to us from Meridian police department as one flavor of DUI or another that were amended to something else. This shows what they were amended to and what they were disposed as and, then, you will see the individual cases down below where you will see -- the first one's possession of an illegal prescription tablet. The second one down you will see a paraphernalia possession. I can go into that case, I can find out who the prosecutor was. If this was actually live in the system I'd just click where it says 84408, I'd click in there, that case would come up. I will see the officer, I will see the prosecutor, and I will go into the notes and I will find out why that prosecutor reduced that case. It allows me to do qualify control on my prosecutors if I have got prosecutors having fire sales at court. In addition, it allows me to work with your police department and if I see an officer that's writing DUI's that are pretty regularly being reduced to something else, it allows me to go in there and maybe identify a problem, something the officer's not doing and work with that officer's sergeant for if we see a number of cases from Meridian of a particular flavor that keep getting reduced or dismissed, I can go in and identify a training issue, send the folks that are coming out here to train your officers, tell them this is the -- this is the issue we need to cover and get your folks trained up, so that we cure that problem. So, it's really a valuable tool both for us and for you. Finally, the last -- again, prettied up graphic is really just what we have done off of the first page here to just show you that in -- in that January through May 26th time frame you have got 71 regular DUI convictions, you have got four that were amended; eight DUI enhanced charges. None were amended. So, you can see from our perspective -- or you can see from your perspective whether or not we are making the grade, whether we are dismissing your cases or losing them at trial, you will be able to -- you will be able to see that right here in front of you. And there are more reports that we can generate for you. I wanted to give you a flavor and an idea of what we are able to do. My -- my plan going forward would be to work with Bill Nary and with Chief Lavey and provide you the reports that they identify as important for you in making decisions that you need to make and, then, we are happy to come back at anytime and explain or help you understand what you're seeing on paper. So, I don't have any other information here for you, but I'm happy to answer questions. Meridian Ciry Council May 26, 2009 Page 19 of 57 De Weerd: Thank you, Steve. Any questions, Council? Hoaglun: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Hoaglun. Hoaglun: There is something that you said, Mr. Rutherford, on -- that information, then, will be shared quarterly with our police department and, then, they can be looking at that information and as you mentioned, you know, if a particular officer is writing DUI's and they are getting dismissed, they can work on that. Is that sent electronically -- how is that information going to be communicated between the two entities? Rutherford: Madam Mayor, Council Member Hoaglun, we have a prosecutor on the ground in Meridian three times a week and so those communications are happening on an ongoing basis. My hope is that the results of these reports are being communicated literally on a weekly basis as we see those problems come up. I assure you that as we identify training issues and we typically will do it by looking atone case and saying, well, an officer didn't do this or he did -- you know, he did this. We generally take that up almost immediately. My hope was that I would provide -- our office would provide these reports to you on a quarterly basis, in addition to -- to the chief and Mr. Nary in hard copy and that, again, we are available every day all day to answer questions about them. But we are working with your chief literally on a daily basis. Hoaglun: Great. Madam Mayor and Steve -- I mean this is a great tool. I'm pleased to see that this is being implemented. I'm sure it wasn't easy, but it's great to see. Rutherford: Thank you. Rountree: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: Steve, does the system that you're talking about track fines or court order restitution that may or may not be collected? Rutherford: Madam Mayor, Councilman Rountree, it doesn't. It has that component and it's interesting, the court, along with the partner cities, commissioned a study to talk about calendaring efficiencies and those kinds of things. Part and parcel to that discussion is what are we going to do about fines and collection of fine revenue and so, you know, our hope is that we are moving towards a long term and meaningful solution. We seem to be almost paralyzed with fear, quite frankly, all of the separate jurisdictions that are doing business at the courthouse on Front Street, everyone's doing it different and a long term solution is absolutely necessary. I have a meeting -- had one last Wednesday and I have another one on Friday to start working through the findings of that study and that's one of those things that we need to resolve. It's my personal hope Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 20 of 57 that we can go to a third party collections, because I think that's an efficient answer and it takes it out of our hands to some extent and I think collections will improve. We are not there yet, but we are getting close. Rountree: Great. I know it's a big issue at the county level as well. Rutherford: Absolutely. Thank you. Colaianni: Just kind of -- Madam Mayor, Council Member Rountree, we have actually -- Steve and I have taken up the flag, so to speak, and gone to talk to some of the other cities. We've, obviously, been talking to Bill about this very issue, but we have just chatted recently with Garden City, they see this a little differently, but until we bring everybody together, I don't think we are going to get resolution of the fines and forfeitures issue. But as for tonight, thank you very much, we appreciate this. I'd like to mention one last thing and that is I have been the Boise city attomey for the last five years, I can tell you when I became the city attomey the first thing I saw that -- that I thought that needed to be enhanced was this particular contract. It's important to both cities. I think the symbiotic relationship is very clear here and it's my intent not to stop here. My intent is to bring you more reports, because Justware can do that and listen to you all to hear what you want in terms of these things, so that you can continue to measure our performance. But it is our intent each and every year to enhance the contract, so we bring something new to the City of Meridian, because you deserve it and we appreciate the prosecution. De Weerd: Thank you. Council, any further questions, comments? Rountree: I have none. No. Zaremba: Thank you. 2. Discussion on Amendment to Disorderly Conduct Ordinance to Prohibit Smoking In Public & Private Areas• De Weerd: Thank you. We always appreciate good news. Thanks. Okay. Item number two. Mr. Nary. Nary: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. The second item is the discussion on amending our city disorderly conduct ordinance to prohibit smoking in both public and private areas. You recall we had a presentation by Smoke Free Idaho a couple months ago about creating a city ordinance in regards to having a smoke free environment. This was aproposal -- is it necessary as far as Smoke Free Idaho would like to go and Adrian Casper is here from that organization tonight and may have some comments about this, but this is a step and some internal discussions we had on trying to meet some of the objectives that Smoke Free Idaho is proposing and, basically, there is -- there is some other amendments to this ordinance. The intent is always when we Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 21 of 57 clean up an ordinance or make some changes that we also clean up some other areas that may be problematic from an enforcement standpoint. So, one proposal -- or one -- excuse me -- one amendment that's in this ordinance is to prohibit people from essentially hanging around or accosting people begging for money around the ATMs and bill payment drop box areas. Courts have found that in general prohibiting begging is prohibited. It is a free speech issue, but the courts have allowed in certain areas to create the zone of safety for people around that, since they have -- usually have cash when they are getting an ATM, either putting it in or taking it out. Same thing when they are paying bills or dropping off bill payments. So, we did want to at least create some safety area for folks in that regard. But, anyway, the one that we are here to talk about tonight is section three and, essentially, it would create a criminal offense for violating a no smoking sign that's posted, whether it's in a public area or a private area and I will use as an example right in front of this building our plaza is currently signed as a no smoking area. That is by policy of the city and that's by the policy that you folks have passed and so -- but it doesn't have force of law. We can eject someone, because it is a park out front. We can eject a person from the plaza area for smoking and violating any policies or rules of the city, but we don't have any other tool other than that. Same thing happens in a private business. They can mark, for example, a restaurant in the state of Idaho -- it is not allowed to have smoking inside a restaurant, but it is allowed outside in a patio. They can mark their patio no smoking, but their only mechanism they can deal with that is ejecting the customer, which sometimes can be problematic. Obviously, giving a citation as well can be a problem, but if you have got problem customers, there is a way for them to deal with that and this would allow them that ability to do that. So, there is -- obviously, as I said, it doesn't maybe go as far as what was proposed or was thought what some other cities in the area are considering, but it does get us a little bit further. If you would like us to take it further than that and prohibit it in all, which was originally what was proposed by Smoke Free Idaho, we surely can do that as well. I think our intent tonight was to bring it forward for discussion and see which direction you'd like us to go. I think Ms. Casper is here if you want to hear from her as well. It's your decision. De Weerd: Council? Any comments, questions? Rountree: Madam Mayor? I support what Bill's done, if for no other reason to have some enforcement capability of what our policy is. I'm a little unsure of what a, quote, no smoking, quote, sign is. Do we need some kind of a standard or specification there or can it be a black marker on cardboard? Does it have to be posted somewhere? Are there some legalities there that we miss with just that kind of vague statement? Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Council Member Rountree, I think what Mrs. Kane in crafting this ordinance, I think what she was wanting, just to make it clear, is that there has to be a sign that says no smoking and it has to be conspicuous and legible, and placed at a height that could easily be seen. So, I'm trying not to put too many elements into it from a proof standpoint, but I would not want to suggest that you have a sign that has to have anything more specific than no smoking allowed or no smoking, because, then, you're going to require people to have to have some magic, Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 22 of 57 which sometimes becomes problematic, they don't know where to go, they don't know what to write on it, and so I think her intent, which I agree with, is to make it as simple as possible. From a court standpoint, then, there is not proof -- there is not a lot of trouble with proving it and you can show that there is a sign and it's visible in the area. Rountree: Would it be too much to ask to at least cite Meridian city ordinance number on that sign? Nary: We can. If you want it required. Again, on a private business, then, it's just something else we will have to require, make sure it's on there, otherwise, they can't cite it. But, otherwise, we have no problem with that. Rountree: Okay. De Weerd: Any other questions? Hoaglun: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Hoaglun. Hoaglun: I wouldn't mind hearing from Ms. Casper on their position. They have been involved on this and if she has a comment I wouldn't mind hearing what they have to say on this draft. De Weerd: Good evening. Casper: Good evening, Madam Mayor, City Council Members, to go to the sign issue, I think that if you look in the rules under the original clean indoor air law of 2004, there is language in there that -- what constitutes a sign and what doesn't. I think has to be at least an inch tall and, again, on conspicuous places and I believe it also states that it has to have some sort of graphic representation of the -- you know, the cigarette with the no through it I think is -- I believe is what it is. But there is some language in there in the original 2004 law. Mayor and Council people, the one thing that was -- when we originally came and spoke to you that had been our intent from the beginning and where, really, the smoke free movement started is to protect the workers from the harm of secondhand smoke. Where we figured out that secondhand smoke was a problem is all of a sudden flight attendants started dying at four times the rate of the average worker and they were wondering, well, why is that. Well, they took the air filters off the planes and thought, uh, maybe this has something to do with it. So, it started as a workplace movement and it ends that way. Our only concern with Smoke Free Idaho is that -- is that this -- this ordinance is a step in the right direction, but our ultimate goal is to protect all workers from the harms of secondhand smoke. Bar workers died 50 percent -- or, excuse me, are 50 percent more likely to contract a lung disease than the average American. Why is that? Well, it's because they work in shifts all day long in a trade that they have -- that they have dedicated a majority of their life to learn, much as a plumber or a carpenter or a miner, but for some reason we -- we ask them to take on Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 23 of 57 specific harms as part of their work agreement and we wouldn't tell anybody else to do that. So, while we are definitely supportive of this -- of this measure, we hope that we will continue to open that dialogue and really welcome the opportunity to talk to each of you individually about where you see the City of Meridian going. De Weerd: Thank you. Did that answer your question, Mr. Hoaglun? Hoaglun: Yes. Thank you. De Weerd: Okay. Zaremba: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba. Zaremba: Not necessarily to belabor the wording issue, but I think the signs that are in our plaza don't say no smoking, they say skateboarding and smoking is prohibited and there is no symbol Xing out a cigarette. So, I wonder whether we could even enforce it in our plaza at the moment. Hoaglun: Well, Madam Mayor, it's my understanding the sign's going to be changed, because of the kids riding the bikes and doing the jumps, it doesn't say no biking out there. There has been some discussion -- someone was telling me about that, that they might need to be adding to the sign, so that would be an opportunity to make those necessary changes. De Weerd: I hadn't heard that. Nary: Madam Mayor, we will look into the -- if there is a specific requirement if we want this for outside, since the clean indoor act deals with inside and what the sign have to be, we want to make them consistent and that's certainly fine. So, we will verify that before we bring it back if that's your desire, that we bring this back in whatever form. But we can make sure that they are consistent between them, so that people aren't having to purchase two different types of signs or create two difference ones. De Weerd: Okay. Rountree: Madam Mayor, I see the heads shaking that that's the way to go. I'd like to see it come back in that form. Nary: All right. C. Public Works Department: 1. Budcet Amendment for Well #27 Construction for $315,000.00: Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 24 of 57 De Weerd: Okay. If there is no further discussion, we will move on to the next item. Public Works Department. Clint, it looks like it's yours. Dolsby: It is. Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is a reallocation of funds. It was originally intended for pressure zone one, which we have been able to postpone until 2011 mostly just due to the economic slow down. We would like to reallocate the funds for the construction of Well 27, mostly due to the fact that Well 10's been taken out of service due to uranium levels that exceed the EPA drinking water requirements. So, we wanted to move forward with the construction of Well 27 to kind of fill in the gap for Well 10 not operating currently. De Weerd: Thank you. Council, any questions? Rountree: I have none. De Weerd: Do I have a motion? Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: I move we approve the budget amendment for Well 27 in the amount of 315,000 dollars. Rountree: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to approve this request. If there is no discussion, Madam Clerk, will you call roll. Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea. De Weerd: Thank you. All ayes. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. D. Parks Department: 1. Budget Amendment for Heroes Park Phase 3 Playground Structures for $17,575.44: De Weerd: Item 6-D is our Parks Department. I'll turn this over to Steve Siddoway. Siddoway: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. Two weeks ago the Council approved the SWAC -- the Solid Waste Advisory Committee's recommendation for funds to go towards the Heroes Park playground elements. That has already taken Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 25 of 57 place and following up with Finance, they asked that we send forward the budget amendment that would coincide with that to make that officially part of the budget. So, this budget amendment is simply to go hand in glove with this last recommendation that was -- De Weerd: It's just housekeeping. Siddoway: -- approved previously. And I will stand for any questions. De Weerd: Council, any questions? Rountree: I have none. De Weerd: Do I have a motion? Zaremba: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba. Zaremba: I move we approve the budget amendment for Heroes Park phase three playground structures in the amount of $17,575.44. Hoaglun: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to approve this item. If there is no discussion, Madam Clerk, roll call. Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea. De Weerd: All ayes. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. De Weerd: It was a great park opening today, Steve. Siddoway: Thank you. De Weerd: You might want to give the two Councilmen that weren't there just a brief overview of the Meridian Bark Park opening. Siddoway: Thank you, Madam Mayor. We -- since the last week's meeting we did quickly get some signs made up and the Meridian Bark Park grand opening was held today at 3:00 o'clock and we had a great tum out. I didn't -- did anybody count the number of dogs there? De Weerd: There were a lot. Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 26 of 57 Siddoway: I bet there were 30 or 40 dogs. Bird: There was quite a few of all size, shapes, and breeds. Siddoway: Yes. But lots of dogs and their owners. I think people are excited to have this space. De Weerd: Yeah. They didn't just drop them off, which is nice. Siddoway: So, thank you. Bird: And Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Yes. Bird: And I want to compliment Mr. Zaremba on TV, he did a great job. It was on Channel 7 tonight and he did a very good job. Appreciate it. Zaremba: Thank you. I missed that, but I hope I was intelligent. Siddoway: It must have been in the first ten minutes of the news, because I turned it on and watched the rest of it and didn't find it, so -- Bird: It was in the first ten minutes. 2. Presentation on 2009 Parks and Recreation Commission Goals• Siddoway: Thank you. Our second item is presentation on the 2009 Parks and Recreation Commission goals. I'm going to turn the podium over to our commission president John Nesmith. Before doing so, I would point out that these goals are in your Council packets. It has been items of discussion over the last several months with the commission. I'm not sure at the end of the presentation whether a formal motion is necessary, but we would ask for some acknowledgement or a nod of approval that the commission is going the right direction and take any comments that you would offer at that time. So, with that I'll turn it over to Mr. John Nesmith. De Weerd: Thank you. Hi, John. Nesmith: Hello, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. We as a group -- I have wanted to solidify and go through some goals and, obviously, the goal tonight is to show you what we have worked on as a commission and part of this involves endorsement from you guys, especially when it comes to, you know, the -- you know -- and what -- involving what we are going to spend our money on, so -- some of the other things that we have worked on besides these individual things that we get handled in sub Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 27 of 57 committee, but the first goal that we worked on a lot for the last year and a half as we have consummated this is to work on some of the continuity and that is to implement the pathways master plan that we worked on several workshops. We have gone out and done at least three tours and identified some -- some segments that make sense to work on and get some more continuous pathways and more lengthy segments. The next item would be land acquisition for parks and Ithink -- I compliment you guys on that. I believe that goal number two has been accomplished, at least in south Meridian, so -- ®e Weerd: Isn't that fun to knock off a goal before you even start? Nesmith: It is. It's pretty cool. So, timing is great and -- and, then, the potential use for number three was explore the potential use for the Borup property and we've had some ideas there. I realize city services aren't there, but we have -- you know, one of the things we had thought of -- no different than when you opened up the dog park this afternoon and some uses that we could possibly use that property for an interim until we get city services and things like that to it. So, again, we are looking for some -- maybe some feedback back from Council as we present and work and try to get some things done and my compliments also to Councilman Zaremba, he's always there and provides a lot of input to us from you guys. The fourth item was improved communication between sub committees to avoid overlapping in formation and where that really ties into is the support of Council, we hold extra meetings, we use staff time, and certainly haven't had any issues with, you know, doing that. Something I have been working on is to try to get some things done and try to get some things accomplished. And the next -- the last item was connect Meridian pathways to Eagle Island and that was the last priority and things -- where all this stuff came up, we had a workshop in March and threw a lot of things on the table as far as things that we thought would be viable and possible to get done and -- throughout the next year and would certainly stand for questions or -- I want to know if we are going the right direction and what you guys would like to see done. De Weerd: Thank you, John. Council, any questions for John? Rountree: Madam Mayor, I don't have questions. A comment. Ithink that certainly your goals are achievable and we have already started and let's keep moving forward and get that done. I did make a comment to Steve last week about the master plan for the parkways and I would like to see you put together as part of your implementation maps showing the usable portion, so people -- and advertise that, so we can get folks out there utilizing them more and you can build up a head of steam there for folks supporting additional expansion and conductivity with some of the pieces that are just kind of hanging loose out there. But, yeah, Ithink --Ithink you're going the right direction and -- Nesmith: Madam Mayor and Council Member Rountree, we actually have Steve and I know the -- the guys over at IT are having some -- or some cool projects in the works to where we have an interactive map on Google Earth and I don't know if you guys have Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 28 of 57 seen that, but it should be pretty -- pretty comprehensive look, you know, parks amenities and we have gone through and several projects have been getting all that stuff updated what our parks have and tying that into our pathways plan. So, I think that's coming and it's actually going to be very -- I think very cool. I think you will like what you see. Have they seen that at all? Yeah. It's not ready yet, but it's in the works and we have had some good presentations from Ada county and what they are working on and trying to tie all that together, it should be a very nice project. De Weerd: Great. Any other questions or comments? Thank you, John. We appreciate the hard work. It's great to see how far the Parks Commission has come over the last couple of years and certainly your leadership and that of our director has really expanded the opportunities for the commission to really have an impact and be the citizens' voice. So, we appreciate all you do. Nesmith: Well, thank you, and appreciate your guys' time and working on this and trying to knock off some of these goals. De Weerd: Thank you. By next week? Nesmith: Sure. Item 7: Items Moved from Consent Agenda: De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Council, the items moved from the Consent Agenda have already been heard. Item 8: Continued Public Hearing from April 28, 2009: AZ 08-015 Request for Annexation and Zoning consisting of 15.05 acres from Ada County RUT to C-G (General Retail and Service Commercial) and I-L (Light Industrial) zones for Fianut by Ronald Van Auker -west side of South Locust Grove, north of East Overland Road and south of I-84: Item 9: Continued Public Hearing from April 28, 2009: RZ 08-009 Request for Rezone of 1.69 acres from C-G (General Retail and Service Commercial) to I-L (Light Industrial) zone for Fianut by Ronald Van Auker -west side of South Locust Grove, north of East Overland Road and south of I-84: Item 10: Continued Public Hearing from April 28, 2009: PP 08-012 Request for Preliminary Plat approval consisting of 6non-residential building lots and 1 other lot in a proposed C-G and I-L zoning districts for Fi nut by Ronald Van Auker -west side of South Locust Grove, north of East Overland Road and south of I-84: De Weerd: We did have a request to move Items 8, 9 and 10 to June 9th. I will need a motion to continue these three items. Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 29 of 57 Rountree: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: I move that we continue Items 8, 9 and 10 to June 9th. Hoaglun: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to continue Items 8 through 10 ~to June 9th. All those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carves. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. De Weerd: Now, I really expected a comment on this, since it has been -- I think this is the third or fourth request to continue. Are we not moving it far enough back to -- why do we keep seeing this item on our agenda? Parsons: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I have been working with the applicant on this. Basically, when we went to P&Z, the applicant proposed adifferent -- a landscaping plan that was kind of current -- current with our current code today and finding out that he didn't have sufficient imgation water rights, he's waiting on John Anderson from Nampa-Meridian Imgation District to get them that letter, so that he can proceed with his application before you. I've communicated with them and instructed them that he doesn't need that letter in place to move forward with the preliminary plat, but he wants an opportunity to come in with staff and talk with staff about doing some Xeriscaping, rather than doing our traditional landscaping that our code requires now. So, he wants those discussions to happen before he brings the project before you and he feels that this should be the last continuance. He's hoping that's the case and that he can move forward and staff can certainly work with him on alternative compliance to get that landscaping the way he's proposing or at least some thing that's consistent with our ordinance. So, that's where we are sitting now. Item 11: Continued Public Hearing from May 12, 2009: AP 09-001 Request for City Council Review of the Planning Director's denial of Heron River Development, LLC request for an 18-month Time Extension for Jericho Subdivision (TE 09-013) by Engineering Solutions - 6055 & 6185 North Jericho Road: De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. So, Item 11 is a continued public hearing from May 12th AP 09-001. We had opened a public hearing at that meeting. We have not heard a presentation on it. I'll turn this over to staff. Rountree: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Yes. Meridian Ciry Council May 26, 2009 Page 30 of 57 Rountree: I'm going to have to recuse myself on this item. De Weerd: Thank you. Parsons: Thank you, Madam Mayor and Members of the Council. This is a City Council review application before you tonight. The applicant has submitted a time extension -- administrative time extension application to staff. We went through the project approvals, realized that the project was approved with six percent open space and the current UDC requires that projects that exceed five acres in size are to have ten percent open space and we also received a memo from you stating that if that was the case that Council would have us -- at least have staff encourage the applicant to increase their open space if they weren't in compliance with the current code and so in this case staff has contacted the applicant, informed them of that change to the UDC. We were notified by the applicant that they did not want to proceed with a revised plan and, therefore, we are before you tonight. I would just quickly go through the slide show and let you know kind of where the project's situated and kind of what was approved back in '07 when you first saw the project. So, to the west and north of this you have Hightower Subdivision, which is zoned R-4, R-8, R-15 and R-4. And, then, you have Westburough Square to the east, which is zoned R-2. And, then, to the south is Arcadia Subdivision, zoned R-8. When this project came before you in 2007 this does have split zoning on it, commission wanted to see some more transitional zoning through this project, so, basically, you had larger one acre lots, which are on the east side and, then, they transitioned to your smaller lots to where you have town homes centrally located and, then, you'd have patio homes along the Hightower side, so that way you have a smooth transition of homes. Also with the comp plan designation of this project it's within a neighborhood center, so the applicant was to provide a minimum density of eight units to the acre, which they complied with. Here is the landscaping plan that's in discussion tonight. Basically, you can see here that they have some street buffers. This central open space in the middle of the project with some trees and a pathway that connects the internal areas and, then, here are the elevations that were tied to that subdivision as well. Again, this project was approved with six percent open space. Staff did not receive any written comments on here regarding the project. We did receive several phone calls from the same gentleman. I see him in the audience tonight. He wants to discuss the project with you as well. And so, really, the outstanding issue is do you want to uphold the director's decision to deny the time extension, grant the time extension, or, basically, have the applicant redesign this, lose some lots, and increase the open space. With that I will stand for any questions. De Weerd: Thank you. Council, any questions for staff at this time? Bird: Not at this time. De Weerd: Okay. Is the applicant's representative here? If you will, please, state your name and address for the record. McKay: Becky McKay, Engineering Solutions, 1029 North Rosario, Meridian. Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 31 of 57 De Weerd: Thank you. McKay: I'm here representing the applicant on this particular project. I apologize for my casual attire, but due to shoulder surgery I can only wear certain things -- only certain things go with this. We are here this evening -- this is a small project, it's only about nine and a half acres. When we initially submitted this project we were .within that neighborhood center designation. We struggled with trying to obtain the eight dwelling units per acre minimum density requirement of the neighborhood center area. Hightower Subdivision had previously been approved and one of the things that -- that was difficult was transitional lot sizing between the Westburough Estates on our east boundary. There are five one acre lots along the east side of Jericho Street and they were all built upon. So, when we initially submitted our plan the staff was not satisfied that we complied with the intent of that neighborhood center and the neighbors were unhappy. We asked the Planning and Zoning Commission give us a couple of months to sit down, have some roundtable discussions with the neighbors, the staff, and let us go back to the drawing board and see what we can come up with. So, after a couple of months of many meetings, the plan before you this evening is a time extension. It was what we came up with and it kind of evolved through many many meetings and we worked through our issues, we came up with a minimum of 8,000 square foot lots on the west side of Jericho to complete that street, because one of the comments that we received from the Jericho residents is don't just fence us out and try to -- and, then, have higher density adjoining us, why don't you complete our street and make a neighborhood here. So, that's what we did. We kind of ended up almost with two different developments, the lots fronting on Jericho, completing the development along that Jericho local street and meeting the minimum lot size and they wanted no more than eight lots. Then, we transitioned to larger detached single family lots and, then, within the interior of the project we had our alley load attached dwelling units on what we call a MEW, which is a large common lot interconnected with micro paths. I mentioned in my letter that the staff noted in our initial report that -- how we had actively worked with the neighbors with the staff to overcome the issues and met the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. We went ahead, we submitted our final plat application. We -- well, initially we received approval of our Findings of Fact on March 20th of 2007 and at that time the UDC requirement was five percent, which we satisfied. Then, approximately four months later the UDC was changed on July 10th of 2007, increasing that from five to ten. We proceeded with our construction plans. We submitted our final plat, our construction plans, our final landscape plan and that was submitted and received Council approval on August 21st of 2007. And at the time we had submitted our application I think on July 13th, so three days after the Council had approved that initial update to the UDC and the staff reviewed our application, said we were in compliance with our conditions of approval, our Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and our development agreement. We proceeded forward, we obtained construction plan approval by Meridian Public Works, which we did request a renewal of. We received approval from Ada County Highway District on our construction plans, Settlers Irrigation District, Collins Lateral, DEQ approval and, then, Idaho Power did do their design on our development and so I attached in my submittal to you copies of Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 32 of 57 those approved construction plans and you can see at the end of each plan it says approved, there are dates and there are signatures from ACHD and your Public Works Department. When the staff told us that we needed to bring this up to the ten percent I did analyze the project, I came up with a couple of different ideas. It would eliminate three of our bigger lots. In order to meet that we are short approximately 16,000 square feet. I did fax that over to my client. We did a conference call and discussed it and his comment to me is based on the current market situation this project is marginal at best if I eliminate three additional lots and add more open space, which, obviously, involves cost, then, this is not economically viable. So, we could not come up with a solution. The other thing I struggled with is we worked so hard with the neighbors in Westburough and the staff and we -- we struggled to try to maintain that eight dwelling units per acre as a goal and if I eliminate more lots, then -- to satisfy one requirement of the UDC, then, I back slide on another requirement in your comprehensive plans. I reviewed your UDC and it, basically, states that if we submit a time extension that the Council may require that the preliminary or final plat or short plat comply with any new provision of the title. And I fully understand, based on the last time I came before you, the Council's instruction to the staff that if it -- if it doesn't comply send it forward to us. If the applicant wants to request a review by the Council and, then, we will make the determination, not the staff. So, I'm asking you tonight to take a look at this and understand what we have gone through and I wanted to make a couple of quotes in the minutes when we initially came through we were commended by Councilman Borton saying I appreciate the effort -- the efforts toward the transitional phases that you have done and in regards to the various densities. Councilman Zaremba said: Obviously, the work with the neighbors has paid off. The fact that nobody is here objecting to this even though they are larger properties around, I think it's a project that could be a good addition to the city. So, this -- this project was unanimously approved and we felt very pleased with it and we had done a considerable amount of work up to this point. This is our first time extension, the administrative one, and with many other projects they are asking for time extensions. We just happen to be extremely small and we just don't have any lots that -- that we can spare and still keep this economically viable. One of the things I did throw out in my letter to the Council and to the staff was that some type of a compromise, maybe adding some additional amenities. We would like to, obviously, explore that, because, you know, our client does not want to skirt his responsibilities and we want to make sure that this is a good, quality project. But I guess I need the Council to kind of work with me here to come up with -- with some options. If this were a larger project I wouldn't be here tonight. The larger ones we've typically been able to accommodate it or it already met that ten percent requirement. Unfortunately, this is one of the small ones and I think Councilman Hoaglun asked me the difficulty that we've had with the ten percent and is it causing us problems and my answer to you -- only on the smaller projects, those that are typically, you know, ten acres or less it is difficult. But I just hate to throw away the work that we have done, the time that we have spent, the commitments that we have made to the Westburough neighbors of a technicality and could I answer any questions? De Weerd: Council, any questions? Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 33 of 57 Bird: Not at this time. De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. McKay: Thank you. De Weerd: We do have several people that signed up indicating their opposition to -- to this item. When I read your name if you'd like to provide testimony at that time I would invite you to, please, come forward. Ralph Bielinski signed up against. Sir, if you will, please, state your name and address for the record. Bielinski: Madam Mayor, Council Members, I appreciate the opportunity to talk. My name is Ralph Bielinski. My wife Darlene and I live at 6178 North Saguaro Hills Avenue. That's in Hightower Subdivision. De Weerd: Thank you. Bielinski: We weren't here when this plan was presented. If we were we probably -- we would have objected at that time as well. I have reviewed the plan -- or my wife Darlene and I reviewed the plan. It's very congested. It's -- well, the layout does facilitate a lot of dwelling units in a small area. -When I look out our property abuts the Jericho Subdivision, the proposed plan. If I look out I would prefer to see a little more green space, if you will, and a little less congestion and if -- we would prefer to see the ten percent plan go into effect. Rather -- a suggestion. Rather than eliminate the larger lots to accommodate the ten percent, I would prefer to see something in the -- eliminating some of the townhouse lots there to accommodate the ten percent, rather than the larger lots. So, I just want to say we support the planning director's denial of the appeal and ask that you would do the same. I also have -- I don't know if this is submissible or not. One of the other neighbors who also were not there when this plan was submitted, they can't be here tonight, but they also reviewed the plan and Mr. and Mrs. Moon wrote a letter also supporting the denial of the appeal. I don't know if we can submit this or not. De Weerd: Yes, you can. You can just give it to our city clerk there at the end. Thank you, sir. She will date stamp it in and make sure it's part of the record. Bielinski: Okay. Thank you. Any questions? Hoaglun: Madam Mayor. Mr. Bielinski, can you give me a reference where your residence is on this map again? Bielinski: It would be -- yes. Okay. I see an arrow here. Holman: Sir, if you hit -- there is some buttons across the top of that tablet there. Hit the red one. Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 34 of 57 Bielinski: Hit the red one? Holman: Yep. And now when you write -- you can either -- if you grab that pen and you can write with the pen that's attached to the board. Bielinski: Okay. I believe -- well, right about here. This is the Jericho and we are here. And the other home is about here. There -- Mr. and Mrs. Moon, the letter that I submitted. Any other questions? Hoaglun: Madam Mayor. Mr. Bielinski, is that a patio type home or what type of home -- Bielinski: All those homes are scheduled to be patio type homes. Hoaglun: Okay. Great. Thank you. De Weerd: Thank you. Also signed up Midge McCoy signed up against. Thank you. Darlene Bielinski. Thank you. Signed up also against. Tyler Rountree signed up against. T.Rountree: Madam Mayor, remaining members of the City Council, Tyler Rountree. I live at 1098 Pasacana, which is located right here against this project. I'm also going to speak on behalf of the HOA for the subdivision. Our HOA president wasn't able to be here tonight, I am on the HOA board, and comment on a couple of comments that Mrs. McKay made. I can't speak to the fact that they work well with the five neighbors that live along Jericho, because I wasn't there. But I can now tell you that there are 33 new neighbors just in Arcadia that haven't been worked with on the development at all. So, as far as the requirement goes for the percentage of the open space, I think this is an opportune time to be able to go back and have them to do a redesign on their request and have them meet what the current requirements are. Our subdivision I am told meets the ten percent. Saguaro Canyon -- I don't know if any of you have driven out through there, it's a fairly beautiful subdivision. There is lots of open space in that subdivision, along with pathways and some other things, that this little section I think now that everything else has kind of grown around it, having that open space would compliment what's there. When it was approved -- correct me if I'm wrong -- there wasn't anything out there in '07. So, everything has now grown around that. So, I can understand. her concern with meeting the six percent and, then, it changed and now it's ten -- things have grown around it and I think that's a fair requirement to make this parcel meet. I have some photos, if you want to see those, of Saguaro Canyon and our subdivision as far as our open space. It's got a pathway that goes around it. It's landscaped. We maintain it. The biggest issue that we have with the development currently right now is that nothing has been done to this parcel at all. At one point last fall I got to haul 19 loads of tumble weeds back over to the property, because literally you couldn't even see out of our backyard. The economic hardship that it's created for our HOA is due to that maintenance we have trees that are along this fence corridor right here that have not been maintained that are ready to take out our fence. We are Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 35 of 57 dealing with bugs. We are dealing with weeds. And it costs our little 33 home association to deal with the problems that we have got with the current development and the other thing that concems us greatly is posted on or around the 6th of March is a notice of trustee sale on the current property that she's talking about. Now, this parcel applies only to 6055 North Jericho and I do believe there is two different addresses there as this partial split. So, my concern with this is really where is it going to go? If they are granted the appeal and the property turns around and sells tomorrow, what, then, are we going to be dealing with, because clearly the economic hardship is already there. So, the cost of three lots I don't know are really going to change kind of where we are at. That's what concems us the most is that something's going to change hands and take place with this parcel and whatever is going to be put there is what's put there, because it looks like currently this developer is not going to uphold his end of the bargain on the property. I stand for any questions. De Weerd: Thank you. Council, any questions? Bird: I have none. Hoaglun: Madam Mayor, I just have to ask Mr. Rountree, did you bum those tumble weeds? T.Rountree: No. No, sir. I live in the city. Wouldn't allow me to do that. De Weerd: Thank you. T.Rountree: Thank you. De Weerd: Those were the names that signed up to testify or to express their opposition. Is there any further testimony on this item? I would ask, then, the applicant for closing remarks. McKay: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, when we went through our neighborhood meetings, public hearings, Arcadia and Saguaro were already platted, because they are showing up on my maps and Hightower was starting construction. So, they -- they were -- those projects were built and if people move in, obviously, opinions change. As far as the issue of this particular site plan that was approved is congested, Hightower is R-8, R-15, C-C. It has alley load. It has patio homes. It has a commercial component and we were instructed when we came through the process to try to come up with some -- of a plan that would interface with Hightower, more of a grid pattern, some alley load, diversity in our residential product and that's what we ended up submitting. Mr. Bielinski says, you know, why don't we eliminate some of the townhomes. If I eliminate the townhomes that's seven townhomes that would have to be eliminated in order get us up to that ten percent. On that western boundary I matched Hightower's lot lines lot line for lot line, 50 -- they are all about 50 feet wide, approximately. And as you can see in the vicinity map you can see where they line up. At this juncture we have all of our approvals and our construction plans. As far as the Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 36 of 57 situation, is there a trustee sale with the bank -- I don't know. I don't have any knowledge of that, other than my client paid the fees and it's his intent to try to keep the project alive. We submitted very nice elevations that are tied to this project. That's why we have conditions of approval. That's why we have our development agreement to insure that if projects change hands, then, the promises and the development will take place as committed to in the initial approval. The neighbor center, the whole idea and the reason behind the comprehensive plan designation of that eight dwelling per acre minimum is to provide some type of density to sustain a neighborhood commercial component at these half miles and that's the whole idea. Some of those, you know, they are going into more apartment type developments as one of their residential components. So, I mean this area is not designated for single family detached residential low density development. That's not what it's designated. We designed it according to your Comprehensive Plan. As far as the weeds and the trees, I will definitely bring that up with my client. Many of the other cities right now, due to the fact that there are some distressed projects out there, that projects have asked for time extensions, things have been put on hold, they are notifying my office, they are sending me an a-mail or a letter to get the client to do weed abatement. I don't think I have been contacted by the city on any of the projects. I normally don't drive out and take an assessment, you know, before they start construction, but, obviously, if that is an issue and a problem, I don't think that financial burden should be on Arcadia to deal with whatever nuisance that is causing. This is a good project. We went through so much to get to this point and to throw it all away I just think is a travesty and, like I said, we have made so many commitments to the Westburough Subdivision, because they were the ones at the time that were most affected by this project and as people have moved in over the past 18 months, like I said, you know, attitudes change. This is a good project and I ask the Council to take a look and think about it and, like I said, we are open to adding additional amenities to spruce this up. If there are some problems that have been identified this evening, then, I think they should be placed in there as a condition of approval that that be taken care of and immediately. Do you have any questions? Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: Becky -- and I realize you don't probably look at the property, but what kind of hammer have we got on your client to make sure that is maintained and, you know, you and I can tell him or code can tell him, but have we -- what have we got that can force him to do that? What would be your suggestion? McKay: Typically the letters, that we have received reference some type of city code that weed abatement within the city limits, which this is within the city limits, must be -- you know -- and they provide -- most of the cities will put a condition that these sites have to be taken care of. You know, they can go in there, Keith, and disk it under and take care of some of the problems, spray the trees, trim them back, you know, there is some things that can be done and we have done them and this developer has done that very thing on other sites. Over in Star, for example, on a 300 acre site that we have Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 37 of 57 developed four phases of and the city of Star says, you know, hey, it's springtime, the weeds are out, you need to get out there. And so what we do -- I need something from the city saying you have got to take care of this, it needs to be taken care of. Most of the time they say it needs to be done within 30 days. I don't know what section of -- maybe Mr. Nary can enlighten me. I don't know if your -- what section of your code has any discussion on weed abatement -- I don't know what else to say, Keith, as far as a hammer. A condition of approval. ®e Weerd: So, he's waiting to be told. McKay: Yes. ®e Weerd: And, typically, until, like I said, I get an a-mail or a phone call or a letter, that's when -- that's when they take care of it. Bird: Madam Mayor? ®e Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: Becky -- and I'll assure you you need to drive by there, because you're going to be absolutely shocked at the condition, if you haven't been by. McKay: I have not been by there, Keith, for months. Bird: The neighbors have every right to complain. The size of your side lots and stuff, you know, you match up there on the west side with what's existing and townhouses and stuff and I could even overlook the extra open space, but the way the property's been allowed to -- as I'm sure turned a lot of the neighbors upside down on the project just because of that. It's -- you know, why get a time extension if it's going to be tumble weeds out there. McKay: Well, maybe -- Madam Mayor, Councilman Bird, maybe -- maybe the Council should defer action on this and instruct me to go back to the developer and say here are concerns, these need to be taken care of and set this out 30 days. And if they choose not to take care of the situation, then, the Council can decide where they stand. Is that fair? Zaremba: Madam Mayor? McKay: I don't know of any other solution. De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba. Zaremba: I have not driven by the property, so I can't speak for its current condition, but it sounds like a typical thing that we would -ask the code enforcement officer to swing by Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 38 of 57 and maybe that would generate the letter and I think we do have ordinances that would cover that process. De Weerd: We do. Bird: We do. Zaremba: Separately from the issue at hand. McKay: Driving around there are quite a few sites that are getting really weedy and the weeds are getting out of hand and it's all -- it's a problem all over our valley right now. Zaremba: I guess it would be just focusing our code enforcement officer's attention on it and I would think, then, the normal process would start to happen. I would comment -- you quoted me when this came before the council before and, actually, when I realized it was coming back my recollection is exactly as you have quoted me and I even think this may have come to the Planning and Zoning Commission first while I was still there, so I think I may have heard this twice. McKay: I think you did. Zaremba: And I do remember the struggle that went through. This was an odd piece of property between other pieces of property, some developed, some not developed, and at the time I did appreciate the effort that went into producing what I thought was going to be a nice addition to Meridian and I still feel that way. With all due respect to the neighbors that have moved there later, the ordinance requires us and requires the planning director only to consider the new ordinances and I don't feel that a request for a time extension means that the project needs to start from scratch. I really feel we need to focus our discussion on whether you have to move from six percent to ten percent open space. The work that went into this -- I mean your property owner has rights as well and they have the right to develop this as previously approved, except that if you need the time extension, then, we need to talk about complying and I think the director did the right thing in denying it. I am openminded about discussing whether it really does need to have that much open space or not. But I -- but I resist the temptation to say that you need to start from scratch. The work that went into this, with all due respect to the new neighbors, we have a number of projects around town that have been developed in a process where after new people moved in who could have known that there was going to be something built next to them, wanted something different and consistently we have said that we aren't re-engineering the entire project when somebody could have known what was going to be there. And so I just -- I'm willing to listen to discussion about whether this needs to go to ten percent, but I don't feel inclined to make it start over entirely. Personal opinion. Hoaglun: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Hoaglun. Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 39 of 57 Hoaglun: Question for planning staff. In going through -- and I wasn't here when this was discussed and decided upon, but I noted that when this was approved in August of '07, the UDC was amended in July, yet this was still allowed to go forward with -- with the six percent -- they required five percent, they had six percent. Was there any discussion thought of -- at that time or in that process, was it just going through everything and it just wasn't ever brought up? Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Councilman Hoaglun, the way that the UDC is written you're vested with the ordinance that's in effect at the time that your application is being deemed complete. So, they would have been excepted under the five percent minimum rule and that's how we would have evaluated it throughout the -- throughout the process, including the final plat. With the final plat you're vested with your preliminary plat. So, this was the first opportunity we had to discuss the change in the open space requirements. Hoaglun: Okay. Thank you. Madam Mayor, if I might continue a question for Mrs. McKay. You said that the -- the owner-developer is willing to discuss amenities. Do you have any idea in lieu of additional open space what type of amenities might he be talking about or is that something you have not discussed with him? McKay: We haven't discussed any specifics. The approved landscape plan shows primarily just landscaping. All of the storm drainage is sub surface, so it's not like the landscaped areas or swells or anything, but because of the small size they weren't required at the time to have a bunch of amenities. You know, there is play equipment, there is -- there is, you know, hardscape plaza -- little plaza areas, sitting areas, all kinds of amenities. I guess the Council could be specific or the Council could say in lieu of the ten percent you provide two amenities, work with our staff to find some amenities that are acceptable to -- for this size of a project. You know, obviously, a pool and club house for 68 lots isn't going to -- you know, that's not viable, but -- but there are plenty of amenities out there. I guess I'd prefer to work with the staff -- I mean they are very good about, you know, coming up with ideas on -- or recommendations on what they think is an appropriate amenity comparable to the size of the development. Hoaglun: Thank you. De Weerd: Any other questions from Council? Thank you. McKay: Thank you for your time. De Weerd: Okay. Council, you have had public testimony and wrap-up remarks from the applicant. Any further information needed from staff? Okay. I would entertain a motion to close the public hearing. Bird: So moved. Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 40 of 57 Hoaglun: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and second to close the public hearing. All those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carves. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. De Weerd: Okay. Discussion? Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: Before I make a motion, I'd like to make a statement and I hope Becky will do this in the morning. Before we have to send our code officer out, I hope she will go to the owner and tell him to go out there without the code enforcement and get the place proper, so the neighbors don't have to live with the weeds and the tumble weeds and the dead trees and that kind of stuff. I'd hope that he'd be business enough -- businessman enough to do something like that, so -- and I know Becky will take care of it. Those aren't her standards for a development that she's working on. Hoaglun: I just have a comment, Madam Mayor. It struck me -- in my previous job working for the state of Idaho dealing with budget cuts and part of our discussion, you know, as a manger was when we were looking at, well, we are going to cut everybody's pay three percent. That three percent affected people differently. If it was someone making 28,000 dollars a year, that three percent was a heck of a cut. To a manager that we had who was making 75,000 dollars a year, that three percent wasn't so bad. In some ways that open space requirement is very similar. Ten percent open space requirement for 300 acres is very manageable. Ten percent of a -- of a ten acre parcel it starts to get bit a more. So, I don't feel quite the same way that we have to be hard and fast on this, although I do want to see some nice amenities, that if we aren't going to -- if the Council decides, no, we aren't going to go to -- move to the ten percent, we are going to leave it at the six percent, I think the amenities need to be discussed with the planning staff to see what can be done to enhance that development. That is a very nice area out there and the homes that Mr. Rountree and Mr. Bielinski are moved in there, it's because of the amenities of the area and it's a nice neighborhood and a great place to either retire to or raise a family and whatever -- whatever your choice is. So, you know, I want to see development that maintains those standards. It doesn't necessarily have to be in pure open space, but in amenities or it looks and maintains the feel of that overall development. Zaremba: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba. Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 41 of 57 Zaremba: I support that idea and I would repeat that I think the director did the right thing. She had to do what she did and if we vote to overturn her, it's certainly with no malice or unappreciation for the job that you do. But I agree, this is a small project that maybe can't stand that change and if we could call a couple of amenities alternate compliance to the open space requirements, I'd be happy to see that as part of the eventual motion. Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: I believe we have all had our say, so I will attempt a motion. And before I attempt it, let's explain that staff can't change ordinances or anything where the Council can. So, we are certainly not coming down on the staff. They have got a job to do and they have to do it that way. I move that we override the denial and allow the six -- approximately six percent common open space with the addition of two amenities as developer and staff can agree upon and that -- and I don't suppose this has to be in the motion, but I will say it anyway -- that the developer gets that property cleaned up and presentable, so the neighbors do not have to live with their trash. Zaremba: Second. De Weerd: Okay. I have a motion and a second. I imagine since the time extension is -- is 18 months, that that is going to be clean for 18 months without our code enforcement going out there and waiting for a letter from them, they will do it on their own. Okay. Thank you. And that was the intent of the motion I'm sure. Okay. If there is no discussion, Madam Clerk, will you, please, call roll. Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea. De Weerd: All ayes. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Item 12: Continued Public Hearing from May 12, 2009: PP 09-001 Request for Preliminary Plat approval of 13 building lots and 1 other lot on approximately 10 acres in an existing I-L zoning district for Bayside Taylor Commerce Park by Nick Schubin -1100 West Taylor Avenue: De Weerd: Thank you for joining us this evening. Item No. 12 -- as Mr. Rountree comes back out here. Item 12 is a continued public hearing from May 12th on PP 09- 001. I will ask for staff comments. Parsons: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. This is a preliminary plat application for four industrial -- 14 industrial lots. Excuse me. The site is situated at west -- 1100 West Taylor Avenue. If you recall, this was the old 84 Lumber site that Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 42 of 57 staff approved this -- and approved this site in 2005 with a CZC. Right now with the arrow that you see in front of you, this is how the site is developed. To the west of it you have Creamline Subdivision, which is also an industrial park. Railroad tracks to the north and some R-15 -- it looks like apartment homes to the north. To the south is outdoor storage units and, then, of course, another to the east you have the Yanke warehouse, which has the YMCA and a church that the Commission approved back in 2008. So, here is what the applicant is proposing before you tonight. This is the simplified version. I cut and pasted this off of this, so you can kind of make out the lots. Here is phase one. Again, they are proposing to phase this into four phases as you see here. Phase one would include three lots. Phase two is showing two lots. Phase three would be three lots. And, then, internal to the development could be phase four, just depends on market demand and how well these sell. TIS or building permits are currently underway for building one here or lot one and, then, staff has also issued CZC's for future lots four and five as well. The reason why this item was continued -- when we went before P&Z, staff, fire department and recommended that the applicant submitted a private street application for addressing purposes for the development. ®nce we were getting ready to come before you we found staff had errored and realized that they needed to provide ten foot landscape buffers adjacent to the private street and after meeting with the applicant we realized that that wouldn't be feasible for this project to go forward, so if that requirement would be placed on them you may not have seen the project, they would have just pulled the application. So, we got fire together, planning staff, got with the applicant and what I will do is try to have some conditions amended tonight, so that fire department is satisfied and planning staff is satisfied and so that the applicant is also satisfied that we can move forward and just, basically -- rather than requiring the private streets, we'd basically just have across-access easement as it's depicted on this plat before you tonight and that way they can work with the fire department as far as addressing requirements and whatever else they may require to insure that these buildings are addressed properly and public safety has been addressed. Here is the landscape plan. Basically, all that they are required to do as part of this is put the ten foot landscape buffer adjacent to North 10th Street and West Taylor Avenue. The applicant also decided to add some plant islands and kind of enhance the entrance into the park, which is a nice feature for an industrial park. So, I commend them on that. Also at the hearing -- excuse me. At the hearing, speaking in favor was Pat Tealy. No one was in opposition of that. At the time that we went before Planning and Zoning we had not received ACHD's comments regarding the traffic study or the plat. The staff report has been amended to have those. We did receive those. The staff report has been amended and includes those comments and those traffic study comments as well. Key changes to the staff recommendation was applicant -- at the time -- right now lot 11 -- if I can go up to that plat. Lot 11 is an open drainage lot right now, so staff was -- didn't realize they were going to sub surface drainage on the site and so that will become a buildable lot. So, Commission -- staff had asked Commission to strike that condition and allow that to be a buildable lot. So, that was entertained -- that motion was entertained and approved and also, again, as I mentioned, we had to insert ACHD's comments and TIS comments. So, what staff is recommending -- our outstanding issues before you tonight and staff is asking Council to, basically, strike condition 1.1, bullet number three, and add two new conditions. The Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 43 of 57 first is to read: Cross-access shall be recorded by a recorded document and/or note on the final plat to insure that all lots within the subdivision have direct access to a public street system and the second condition would be the applicant shall provide a master kiosk at the entrance of the development that depicts a directory map and addressing of the buildings within the development, said signage and additional requirements, i.e., an addressing map, numbering, and letter sizes shall be done through coordination with the Meridian Fire Department. Written testimony as -- since the P&Z meeting. The applicant did send an a-mail over to staff today saying they are in agreement with those conditions. And with that I'd be happy to answer any questions Commission -- Council has. De Weerd: Council, any questions? Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: Bill, on your new cross-access, I -- you know, I don't like and/or. I think there has to be a note period on the final plat, because we have found in the past if it isn't on the final plat, if it's in some recorded document somewhere else, it is missed. So, I -- the recorded document could stay in, but I'd like to say and a note on the final plat, not or, if that's agreeable to you guys, because it has come back to bite us a couple times. Canning: That is, sir, and usually what we do is they record the cross-access document separately and, then, we record that number on the plat. Bird: Okay. De Weerd: Okay. Any other questions? Bird: I have none. De Weerd: Okay. The applicant. Tealy: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, my name is Pat Tealy. Office address 187 East 50th. I'm here representing the client Bayside Investment. Mr. Cornell Larsen, who is also here and he can answer any questions about the -- the actual site plan and the -- and the architectural features. They purchased the property about a year ago from -- it used to be an old 84 Lumber site and -- that for some reason they -- they moved out of town and it's sort of an odd site, it has very little frontage on Taylor Street. This wasn't an original subdivision, this was a bunch of section ground that had been divided up through metes and bounds description, so there was no -- there wasn't a lot of future thought I think put into the layout of these lots and stuff. Since August -- last August we have been working on the plan, went through several iterations, and submitted the preliminary plat to the City of .Meridian. At that time it was reviewed and the private road issue was -- wasn't brought up at that time, but after talking with the fire Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 44 of 57 department and their concerns we did actually have a sit down with Bill and Anna and Pete and the fire department and I think we worked things out to where he's very comfortable with our layout now and our plans to go forward. Right now we are waiting for this plat approval to go ahead with the first phase, as Bill indicated, the phasing is there, just -- just because of the economics it isn't a real great time to go out and develop these kinds of things, but it's a needed component of -- in the City of Meridian is industrial lots and the industrial zoning is very valuable to the city. So, we are trying to utilize it and get it moved forward. I think the one large building -- the existing building has got some tenant improvements, plans improved and lots four and five also, as Bill mentioned, are ready for the building permit to be picked up. The drainage, just to address the drainage lot, there was a little bit of confusion in the -- at Planning and Zoning. That drainage lot will remain there while the existing asphalt is there, because it has -- has a drain system that uses that drain lot. As we proceed through the subdivision we are going to eliminate that and it will eventually be turned into a buildable lot. So, I will stand for any questions that Council may have. One of the things we want to do is commend the staff, this project had several starts and stops and we, basically, rescued it about two weeks ago, so want to thank them a whole lot. De Weerd: Thank you. Council, any questions? Bird: I have none. Rountree: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: For Pat. The plat does not necessarily indicate the -- all the structures that will be out there. Will they be removed or what's going to happen with those? Tealy: On our preliminary plat we -- it's sort of hard to see, because there is a lot of information on there, but we do indicate the -- that lot one has the -- that would be that existing -- Rountree: Right. Tealy: -- that would be modified. In the meantime, while we go through with the other two -- I guess I could -- is this thing active now? In the other two -- okay. These two lots here, like I say, are in for building permits. This is in for tenant improvements. In the meantime, these two open storage sheds will -- they will try to rent those out to get some income off of that and there is some talk about an occupancy on this building over here. So, will be removed as the phases move forward. Rountree: Okay. Thank you. That's all I wanted. Zaremba: Madam Mayor? Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 45 of 57 De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba. Zaremba: I know we are supposed resist reengineering projects, but Ijust -- just a comment. With the railroad track right on the back border of this property, it seems a shame to me to run the private road around the perimeter on the railroad end of it and I don't know whether it would be possible to move the two lots back to the property line and run the road -- I guess 12 and 14 and run the road in front of them -- that may not satisfy the fire department, but Ijust -- if you ever had a tenant that wanted access to the railroad, which we would hope would occur, there might be a way to make that easier. Tealy: I agree with you. That's very valuable, but it's also really hard to find a tenant that needs that kind of space. Zaremba: Okay. Tealy: Yeah, that has a need for any sort of railroad frontage they are few and far between, but it's very valuable and if they do find somebody that wants that railroad line, we can use lot line adjustments or whatever to come up with a solution to that. Right now the road will just cross the tracts, just like you typically do on the site. Zaremba: Thank you. Canning: And, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Council Member Zaremba, if the tenant took the large central portion -- actually, the only cross-access you would need would be the -- coming down from -- coming in from Taylor and, then, moving along here to provide access over there, because this one would be along here. So, that isn't a critical component of the cross-access system back there along the spur line. Zaremba: Except that -- I'm sorry. Except that the fire department probably would either want, then, a tumaround or something, because this gives them a loop. Tealy: Right. To accommodate them with the tumaround and there is a chance that you can get a major user that might take all those interior lots and, then, we wouldn't have to do the street frontage. Zaremba: Okay. Thank you. De Weerd: Any other questions from Council? Any additional testimony? Cornell, you're the only one left. No. Only if you have anything to say. You heard him. If you're happy you can close the public hearing. Rountree: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Rountree. Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 46 of 57 Rountree: I move that we close the public hearing on Item No. 12. Bird: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to close the public hearing on 12. All those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Rountree: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: I move that we approve the item on number 12, PP 09-001, with the inclusion of the staff recommendation on comment condition number one, with the two points as it relates to cross-access and signage. Bird: I will second it. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to approve. Any discussion? Bird: Will the maker take out the or in that statement? Rountree: If I must. Bird: Please. De Weerd: I think it sounds like he did. Rountree: I will. De Weerd: Any further discussion? Madam Clerk, will you, please, call roll. Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea. De Weerd: All ayes. Motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Item 13: Public Hearing: SHP 09-001 Request for Short Plat approval to create 3 building lots on 1.51 acres in a C-G zone for Challis Subdivision by Tealey's Land Surveying - 575 East Franklin Road: De Weerd: Item 13 is a public hearing on SHP 09-001. I'll ask for staff comments at this time. Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 47 of 57 Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is the Challis Subdivision. It's located on the southwest comer of East Franklin Road and South Stratford Drive at 575 East Franklin Road. It's due west of the cemetery and the application before you tonight is the three lot short plat. The proposed short plat will create three commercial lots on approximately 1.5 acres of area that's zoned C-G and the subject property meets all the applicable requirements of the UDC. Staff is recommending approval and we do have an a-mail from the applicant stating they are in agreement with the conditions of approval. And with that I will answer any questions. De Weerd: Okay. Council, any questions? Hearing none, would the applicant like to provide testimony? Tealy: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Pat Tealy, 187 East 50th. Only if you have any questions about it. This is a Washington Federal Bank. It's going to be located on the comer. I think we will be submitting the building permit for that within the next week, so -- lot one. We had an issue with the Ada County Highway District and we are still discussing with them on an entryway for lot -- between lots one and two, so that's an ongoing issue that staff has covered it with the wording in the conditions. De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. This is a public hearing. Is there anyone who would like to provide testimony on this application? Seeing none, Council, do you have any further questions for staff or applicant? Bird: I have none, Mayor. Rountree: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: I move that we close the public hearing on Item 13. Bird: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to close the public hearing on Item 13. All those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: I move we approve SHP 09-001, with staff and applicant comments. Rountree: Second. Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 48 of 57 De Weerd: Okay. I have a motion and a second to approve Item 13. If there is no discussion, Madam Clerk. Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea. De Weerd: All ayes. Motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Item 14: Public Hearing: Amendments to the 2007 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Action Plan: De Weerd: Item 14 is a public hearing on amendments to the 2007 Community Development Block Grant action plan. I'll tum this over to Caleb. Hood: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Matt is out of town for today, so I will cover this item for him. I'll try to be brief. I don't know if I can quite cover it as quick as Anna covered that last one, but I will try. De Weerd: Or as quick as Matt can. He talks very fast. Bird: He talks fast. We can understand you. Hood: And this item actually has been on your agenda before, so, again, I won't dive into all the details. It is the close of the public comment and hearing period for the 2007 amendment to the CDBG action plan for 2007. Just a quick refresher. It's the money left over from 2007 after the demolition of the blighted properties. There are three projects that are on the -- the resolution that's before you this evening for approval. One of them is the -- the Five Mile Creek pathway. The second one is Meridian Community Center ADA upgrades. And the third one is public service projects such as The Catch or the Backpack program and some of the other public service projects. So, again, this marks the end of the scheduled public hearing period. Matt was able to put -- to compile and send over to the clerk's office a list of the comments he had received as of Friday. Those were in your packet for this evening's hearing. Hopefully you got a chance to review them. There was a mixed bag, people for, people that were somewhat neutral, but still had some concems, primarily with noise, privacy, fencing, safety, liability, theft, maintenance, security, vandalism, policing, dumping, and lighting. I think I covered all the concems mentioned in those 25 or so a-mails quickly. I do want to make it a point that Matt did meet with the HOA's and every single property owner that directly abuts this potential pathway. He also sent out notices to everyone within 300 feet. He didn't make direct contact with every one of those people within 300 feet, but certainly through the HOA and those meetings that he held he's made indirect contact, again, with everybody within a substantial radius of this proposed -- the pathway project specifically that's being considered this evening. I'm not aware of any other comments coming in on those other two projects for the 2007 amendment. I don't know if the clerk has received anything today and, like I said, Matt's out of down, so Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 49 of 57 maybe when he gets back tomorrow if we see anything we will forward that onto the clerk. But he mentioned that he hasn't received anything thus far. I do want to just refresh you in this other aspect that the 45,000 dollars that is being requested is for design only of this and the understanding with money being allocated to design is that there is consent from a hundred percent of those property owners adjacent to them and we can acquire the easements necessary to do that before we go too far down this road. We need to make sure that we have got everybody on board and that all the details are covered before we spend any money getting through anything more than just a conceptual design, which is at this point pretty much all we had is just -- it will be on this side and go from A to B. But this would authorize those funds, essentially, for us to hire a contractor to design the project pending acquisition of those easements. And, again, those -- those issues that I mentioned, we will involve all those property owners to the extent -- most extent we can in that process to make sure those concems are addressed the best we can in that process, too. So, we will certainly involve them in making this a welcome addition to the neighborhood. So, if you have any comments, if you have any other questions for me I would be more than willing to give it a shot anyways. De Weerd: Council, questions? Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: Caleb, is 45,000, is that going to cover the design and drawings? Hood: Madam Mayor, Councilman Bird, that is my understanding that Matt has actually met with some folks in Public Works. I don't know what that was, but they thought that it would -- it's a little bit on the conservative end even to -- they estimate around 40,000 dollars I think is what Matt said. So, there is even a little bit of slush fund in that 45. Bird: Okay. Thank you. Canning: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: You don't call it slush fund. Bird: Contingency. Don't call it that, because they will spend it. De Weerd: I just thought I'd correct you on that one. Anna. Canning: Madam Mayor, I did want to address some of those safety concems. I just wanted to let you know that Matt did meet with the police department and -- to address the concems about the fence height and just security issues within the possible pathway and the sentiment of Lieutenant Overton was that it's a de facto pathway right now and by making it a formal pathway system he felt that the safety -- you know, the feeling of it Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 50 of 57 being a public place and that there were eyes on you possibly or that there were other people there would enhance the safety of the area, not detract from it. So, did want you to know we have been working and discussing that with the police department. De Weerd: Thank you. Hoaglun: Madam Mayor, question for probably -- maybe for legal counsel more than you, Anna, but are liability -- we create a pathway, there is no fencing, you know, like the Bud Porter Pathway along the creek there and if there is an accident, what -- what's the situation in terms of liability? Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Council Member Hoaglun, there is no liability to the city. It's still covered under recreational use. Hoaglun: Okay. Thank you. Nary: And I would agree with Lieutenant Overton, they are already there and they are already at whatever risk may exist at all already exists today. It's not putting a fence doesn't increase that risk. De Weerd: Thank you. Any further questions? Okay. Next step. Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Just a moment Mr. Bird. Hood: You do have a resolution before you this evening, so if there aren't any changes to the action plan I'd ask that you sign that this evening. De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: I move we close the public hearing on the amendments to the 2007 Community Development Block Grant. Rountree: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to close on Item 14. All those in favor say aye. All ayes. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Meridian City Council May 26, 2009 Page 51 of 57 Item 15: Resolution No. Amendments to 2007 CDBG Action Plan: De Weerd: Item 15 is resolution number 09-667. I will ask for a motion to approve.

Resolution 09-667, the amendments to the 2007 CDBG action plan. Hoaglun: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to approve Item 15. If there is no discussion, Madam Clerk.

May 21, 2009 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor & City Council FROM: Caleb Hood CC: City Clerk, Anna Canning RE: South Meridian Transportation Plan Consent Agenda Item for May 26a' City Council Agenda On March 17a' Craig Herndon, ACHD Senior Transportation Planner, presented to the Council the draft findings and recommendations contained in South Meridian Transportation Plan. At that meeting, the Council brought up three concerns with the document: 1) Rationale/Recommendation for three lane versus five lane roadways, particularly on Black Cat; 2) Consideration given to Kuna growth/traffic in the study; and 3) Roundabouts, specifically at the Ten Mile/Amity intersection and it being able to accommodate future volumes of traffic associated with an interchange. Since that meeting, ACHD Staff has prepared afollow-up memo that addresses these concerns raised by the Council. In anticipation of the ACHD memo from Craig Herndon, dated May 20, 2009, adequately addressing the Council's concerns, City staff has prepared a letter to the ACHD Board of Commissioners stating our support for this plan and placed this as a consent agenda item for your upcoming meeting on May 26~'. ACHD and City Staff will be at your May 26a' meeting should you have additional concerns or require more information before supporting this plan. If, however, after reading the memo from ACHD the Mayor and Council are comfortable that all concerns have been adequately addressed and believe that the plan should be endorsed by the City, the letter can be signed by the Mayor. Staff would like to point out that we understand that ACRD, when doing this study, was limited to using adopted comprehensive land use plans. However, we hope that any future, substantial amendments to comprehensive plans in this area will trigger ACHD to require updates to the study. All of City Staff s other concerns have been addressed in the updated South Meridian Transportation Plan and I recommend that the endorsement letter for the South Meridian Transportation Plan be signed by the Mayor. Planning Department . 33 E. Broadway Avenue, Meridian, ID 83642 Phone 208-884-5533 . Fax 208-888-6854 . www.meridiancity.org Meridian City Council Workshop Follow-up MEMO Planning & Projects Division May 20, 2009 To: Meridian Mayor and City Council From: Craig Herndon, ACHD Senior Transportation Planner Subject: South Meridian Transportation Plan - Information to Address Questions - Request for Letter of Support for Adoption Executive Summary The South Meridian Transportation Plan was initiated to identify roadway improvement needs based on the City of Meridian's Comprehensive Plan. ACHD and the City worked cooperatively to develop this transportation plan that directly addresses the City's land use planning and needs of the transportation system. This effort has brought the land use and transportation agencies to the same table to plan our future, brought issues to light related to funding projects or improvements beyond those included in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and could be looked at as the template to work more efficiently and effectively in future cooperative planning. This study contains Transportation and Land Use Integration Plan (TLIP) principles including Roadway Typologies and an enhanced Collector Network. The study area and a map of the proposed Future land Use are included as Attachment 1. Main study findings include recommended: • Roadway sizing and identification of typologies based on land use (Attachment 2). • Collector network (Attachment 2). • Intersection improvement needs and intersection control (Attachment 3). • Intersection configurations (Attachment 3). • Access management plan • Illustration of potential alternative intersection treatments (Attachment 4). • Alignment for Overland Road between Ten Mile Road and Linder Road (adopted by ACHD in 2008) (Attachment 5). • Bike and pedestrian route improvements coordinated with Bike Master Plan (Attachment 6). Facts and Findings On May 27, 2009, the Ada County Highway District Commission will consider adoption of the South Meridian Transportation Plan. Your support, as we move toward adoption of this planning effort, would provide clear direction and a united set of guidelines as this area of your city grows. ACHD seeks your support for adoption of this Plan in a letter to the ACHD Commission indicating this support. Prior to seeking adoption, ACHD would like to address three areas needing clarification which were discussed during the City Council workshop on March 17, 2009. The areas needing clarification include three versus five lanes, traffic from Kuna, and planned roundabouts. Three versus Five Lanes Black Cat Road is estimated, based on 2030 forecast volumes that include the latest land use assumptions, to carry a volume of traffic that is 15% below a 3-lane threshold. Based on conversations during the Transportation and Land Use Integration Plan (TLIP) workshops, the decision was made to preserve Black Cat Road for 5-lanes. The maps and information in the South Meridian Transportation Plan Report have been corrected to reflect these changes. Traffic ftom Kuna The South Meridian Transportation Plan does not include changes in the demographics for the Area north of Kuna to this studies boundary. It is based upon the adopted land use plan. The study travel demand forecasts are based on the long-range planning document Communities in Motion (CIM) with added demographic information for the South Meridian area. CIM does include information from the adopted City of Kuna Comprehensive Plan but does not include any changes based on their proposed Comprehensive Plan. To address concerns about the transportation system potential impact from the proposed additional growth in Kuna it would be best to address a couple points. • Roadways require additional capacity when volumes reach a threshold level. Once roadways are improved with additional capacity, the volumes on the roadway do not reach capacity levels. This creates a situation where the improved segment has capacity and additional traffic from a future growth in Kuna can be accommodated to the new roadways threshold level. In addition to this condition, there are a few roadways where ACHD is currently preserving right-of-way fora 5 lane facility and the study indicates 3- lanesare needed. These segments will handle a larger amount of traffic and still operate at acceptable levels based on forecast information. o Example roadways with additional capacity to accommodate more volume include: Victory Road, Lake Hazel Road, Locust Grove Road and Linder Road. o Example roadways where forecasts call for 3-lane and ACHD is currently preserving for 5-lanes include: McDermott Road and Black Cat Road. ACHD could, in the future, study the North Kuna Area at which time their demographic information, from the City of Kuna, will be obtained. This will allow the transportation study to determine impacts from this additional growth. If projects are not included in the CIP, CIM or other planning documents, then growth would have to mitigate its impact. Ten Mile Road, while having a substantial increase in vehicular usage once the Ten Mile Interchange opens, is expected to operate at an acceptable level of service with the added interchange traffic and volumes from the South Meridian Area. Planned Roundabouts The calculated 2030 LOS at the Ten Mile Road /Amity Road roundabout is LOS A with an average vehicle delay of 3 seconds. To reach failure delay (50 seconds), volumes would have to increase by 98%. The dual lane roundabout should have excess capacity and forecast travel demand will have to almost double before it will fail. This is a "factor of safety" against any potential traffic volume increases associated with the City of Kuna's updated land use plans. Two conditions have been identified where this type of intersection mixed with signals is not appropriate. These conditions are as follows: • A roundabout in line with traffic signals in not appropriate in a coordinated signal system such as Front Street, Myrtle Street, Main Street, and Meridian Road. • They are also not appropriate when the roundabout is too close to the signal and stacked traffic from the traffic signal forces traffic into the roundabout which shuts the roundabout down. ACHD hopes this information has provided answers to your questions. ACRD looks forward to our continued cooperative work in planning this area. ACHD staff will be in attendance at the May 26, 2009 City Council meeting and will be able to further elaborate on these questions and our responses. ***** N c~ ~J'I 00 O O N i O J LJ.. t~ .cam G CU 'Z3 r-I ~ d-+ (II ~ ~ Q~ Q~ s Q U ~` tQ $ Q to .,.~__ ~° ._ * _- ~ ~~ y ~' i 3~Ss~~IJ l~`~~~'1 N i', X.Y I,I - C~ _ - r,7^JI ~' ~~ z ~ _~ IG'J Il~~.

As it is implemented all roadway and intersection improvements, roadway cross sections, access points, and pedestrian facilities should be designed and constructed following the standards and guidelines included in the Plan. Following adoption of the South Meridian T an portation Plan by ACHD, appropriate sections will be incorporated into the City of Me ' is Comprehensive Plan. These steps by ACHD and the City of Meridian will ensure co erative ' teraction between land use planning and the transportation system as this ar e s an is built-out.

A draft of the Plan was submitted to ACbID in August 2007. and discussion, the ACRD Commission decided to hold the Plan as the City of Meridian revised their land use plan during the winter of 2007-2008.Once the South Meridian Comprehensive Amendment was finalized and adopted in 2008, the ACRD Commission moved to have the South Meridian Transportation Plan updated to reflect components of the draft TLIP and the new land use map. Thus, the proposed collector connections to the arterial roadways have been modified based on draft TLIP recommendations. zoo8 Adopted Land Use Plan v atta~dn~on Dh~n ~,,:~ t~=~. South Meridian Transportation Plan Draft Final Report ---- Public Involvement Public involvement was a critical tool through which public feedback and support for the findings of the South Meridian Transportation Plan were received. Comments from the public helped to shape the ultimate land use assumptions and resulting recommended transportation improvements. The approach included: • Stakeholder interviews • Three public information meetings o September 20, 2006 o January 25, 2007 o March 19, 2009 • Multi-agency coordination meetings and presentations ~~ • Web comment forms and posting of materials 4 ~- t,~s«~~~;~~ Comments from the public centered on many common themes addressed in the Plan.

Transportation Needs Analysis Existing Conditions The existing intersection configurations and traffic volumes were used to determine the current LOS of the arterial road intersections. Most of the arterial intersections in the Plan area operate at acceptable LOS D or better except those along Meridian Road (State Highway 69). These intersections fail in the peak hours of the day. The Victory Road/Eagle Road intersection vi wesnir~nn a `~ Existing overland Road ~,:_ :e~,~ South Meridian Transportation Plan Draft Final Report ~~ also experiences lengthy delays in peak hours. Land Use Projections and Travel Demand Forecasts Several land use scenarios were investigated before developing the maps and descriptions adopted by the City of Meridian in March 2008. Land use maps of several scenarios for the South Meridian Area are presented in Appendiz B. Demographics forecasts based on the Comprehensive Plan Amendment were given to ACHD and COMPASS to f e st travel demand. The recommendations of this Plan reflect these updated demogr h' assumptions and travel demand forecasts. Travel demand forecasts from both the COMPASS 2030 regio odel and`Khe ACHD 2030 model were analyzed in the Plan. Both models used the de i projections provided by the City of Meridian. Despite some technical differences be een e o models, the recommendations determined using their forecasts remai d larg consistent.

Improvements to these intersections are recommended. As an alternative to widening for a standard intersection for the Lake Hazel Road/Locust Grove Road intersection, the owner of the surrounding land has researched some innovative alternatives. Thus, this area is shown in Figure 3 as to be determined pending further analysis. A brief discussion and example concepts prepared by a potential developer a cluded in Appendiz G. Additional traffic analysis and evaluation of the alternativ s uld be conducted during the application process with ACHD and the City of Meridian. Developers will be required to mitigate the impacts from their intersection improvements.

Recommended Improvement Plan This plan does not dictate when specific projects and improvements will take place; it is included as an additional tool to guide ACRD in prioritizing projects in future updates of the FYWP and the CIP. It is based on several assumptions, particularly the location and pace of development. Adjustments should be made as development occurs so that improvements are provided as they become needed. Some changes are anticipated as the City of Kuna updates their comprehensive plan. Also, the east-west arterial segment improvements from Eagle Road to Cloverdale Road where the City of Meridian and the City of Boise planning areas abut may need improvement '~ xii wasnn~„ of ~,,:r *-_~ South Meridian Transportation Plan Draft Final Report ~,....,~tr ~.~ sooner than the Southwest Boise improvement plans show at this time. These recommendations are also based on the assumption that full build-out of the South Meridian Area occurs by 2030. Changes in growth and development may mean a longer time frame for full build-out. Cost Estimates Estimated costs for the recommended improvements, including right-of--way and construction, are $234,066,000. Estimates are in 2008 dollars, are conceptual, and assumerfo~ontributing funds from other sources. Comparison with Existing Capital Plans A comparison of this Plan's roadway recommendations and the and SIP' recommendations is found in ES Figure 5.

The additional cost needed to implement the recommendations of the Plan is approximately $76,161,000. This estimate is subject to change depending on the cost of construction materials, right-of--way, and the rate of inflation. Some of the additional costs may be offset through public-private partnerships with land developers. The recommendations and cost estimates between this Plan's roadway re FYWP and CIP recommendations differ because of underlying differenc assumptions and build out time frames. • The CIP represents a view of 20 years • The South Meridian Transportation Plan represents a v' ut to • Growth levels and land-use information represents it - t at the 20 years or beyond 2030 and the use could take longer than • Corridor preservation will be required as develop nt oc rs and the level of development may need review of approp ' e fundin anisms are not achieved. • The South Meridian Transportations P n's travel a nd forecasts are based on the City of Meridian's specific land use growth sce~Io vary from the Communities in Motion scenario used in the CIP If there is a difference between tro or right of way recommended in this Plan and the CIP, whichever requires t est ri of-way or improvement will be required.

A good collector roadway network is critical to the implementation and success of an Access Management Plan. Collectors connect properties and local roads to arterial roadways, thus reducing the need for a large number of connections to arterial roadways.

Initially, the City of Meridian developed a pre rred land us lternative that showed several arterial roadway segments would need expans'on o~-1 to accommodate future demand. At a public meeting in January 2007, feedback fro stak olders, the public, and the City of Meridian made it clear that these lar art rials er not desirable. A revised land use alternative was developed based on reduced _~a tie ternative utilized a more robust collector system and analysis showed t t tamer arteri s required widening to 7-lanes.

Meridian City Council Presentation ACHD staff made a presentation to the Meridian City Council on March 17, 2009. This presentation reported on the status of the transportation study, including the land use updates and assumptions, potential roadway sizing, potential intersection treatments, and the roadway typologies and collector network connections. The council asked some ques of ACHD staff. These questions focused on whether the potential effects of the City plan update to travel demand forecasts in the South Meridian Area a counte for in the Plan. Several arterial roadways are being preserved for future 'd mg to 5- a cross sections even though the needs analysis does not show needs for the , ' c 'ng Black Cat Road, Ten Mile Road, Linder Road, and Amity Road. Thus, they w' ha r serve capacity to handle travel demands significantly higher than the Plan forecasts, up t 50% re, and should be able to carry additional traffic from Kuna.

Preservation of right-of--way for S- lane sections is recommended for several arterials. Typical roadway cross sections and intersections and guidelines for pedestrian and bicycle facilities are presented. All analysis and calculations follow the methodologies described in the Appendiz E. /~ Travel Demand Forecast Assumptions Travel demand forecasts from both the COMPASS 2030 regional 0 1 d the CHD 2030 model were analyzed in the Plan. COMPASS is the metropoli anning or ization (MPO) for the Treasure Valley and their regional travel demand mo a 's official and adopted model for planning, prioritizing, and funding transportation pro' cts o ghout the region, including the South Meridian Area in Ada County. ACHD's coun wide del has a more robust collector network, smaller traffic analysis zones assignment than the COMPASS model. Trave developed using inputs provided by the City l between the two models, the recommendation c consistent. Appendiz F presents a d crap ion analysis zones (TAZs), and the tr e scenario. ~~ ant assumptions for trip from both models were the technical differences dined using their forecasts remained largely land uses, demographic input, traffic sts for the City of Meridian's growth Needs Analysis The Plan roadways ere evalu ted sing the forecast travel demands and the arterial street capacity thresho s veto ed or the adopted ACRD CIP. These thresholds were developed from the Flori Depa n of Transportation (FDOT) multi-modal policy and application tools for arterial street p nnin and are consistent with the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA's) Highway rapacity Manual. They are based on peak hour traffic volume in the peak direction on an arterial. LOS E was used as the threshold for identifying needed improvements along principal arterial roadways and LOS D was used for minor arterials, consistent with the adopted CIP. Arterial roadways were analyzed using COMPASS' peak hour model travel demand forecasts. Arterial road intersections were also analyzed using COMPASS' peak hour model travel demand forecasts to estimate turning movements.l'he Highway Capacity Software Plus (HCS+) was used to analyze signalized intersections and FHWA's capacity methods in Roundabouts: An Informational Guide were used to analyze roundabouts. LOS E was used as the threshold for principal arterial intersections and LOS D was used for all other intersections in the analysis. .l .

Arterial Improvements A detailed capacity analysis was conducted to determine the arterial roadway needs in the year 2030. Based on travel demand, all principal arterials require 5-lanes. All minor arterials require 3-lanes with the exception of Black Cat Road, Linder Road, and portions of o st Grove Road. They either have demands that require 5-lane roadways or are being pres for 5-lanes. Recommended lane configurations are shown in Figure 3. ~~ I~y_t ~~ ~ ~~ ® Figure 3.

Additional traffic analysis and evaluation of the alternatives should be conducted during the application process with ACHD and the City of Meridian. Developers will be required to mitigate the impacts from their developments, including intersection improvements. Roadway Travel Demand Comparison Roadway travel demand forecasts from the COMPASS 2030 model and the ACRD 2030 model were analyzed. Forecasts from both were similar and the results of the roadway needs analyses were almost identical. The one location where there was a significant difference between the models' travel demand forecasts was along Lake Hazel Road east of Linder Road. The ~6 wasMn~ton of~o„ _ ~r`~~~~,,,, South Meridian Transportation Plan Draft Final Report COMPASS model indicated a need fora 7-lane cross section while the ACHD model indicated a need fora 5-lane cross section. The COMPASS forecast demands in question are less than 10% over the thresholds fora 5-lane cross section and the City of Meridian has indicated a desire to maintain 5-lanes along this roadway, especially in areas where regional mixed use and neighborhood centers are proposed. For these reasons, 5-lanes are considered adequate for the future travel demand along Lake Hazel Road. Corridor Preservation Several corridors were identified for future preservation as 5-lane roa needs analysis did not support the improvement. Corridor preservah~~o there will be increasing demand beyond the 2030 planning hor' o . R preservation include: • Amity Road • Linder Road • Black Cat Road • McDermott Road • Overland Road D The major arterials that are ex~ Kuna include Black Cat Road, Amity Road. These corridors~`• lane cross sections by ACHD`~ corridors are designed intersections, the re rv capa~ additional traffi ge rated by Area. ry tr ffi om the City of der Road, and b 'ng preserved for 5- of Meridian. As these 5-l~fie roadways and .hould be sufficient to carry any s surrounding the South Meridian Amity Road and Linder Road provide regional connections and Linder Road is expected to have an overpass of I-84 by 2020. Also, the City of Nampa is currently preserving right-of--way along Amity Road for future widening to 5-lanes. McDermott Road has the potential to be a regional north-south arterial with connections to I- 84 and with Kuna-Mora Road. If the Overland Road Connection to Canyon County develops, the Airport Road/Overland Road corridor would travel parallel to I-84 from the City of Nampa through the City of Boise. Therefore it is prudent to plan on maintaining the 5-lane cross section of the existing arterials through the proposed connection. U~ ~ . though the xiations assume ;ntified for .a•`*~'.,r, South Meridian Transportation Plan Draft Final Report Gb...~t'sdto ~;w Also, both travel demand model forecasts include improvements to other facilities near the South Meridian Area, including: • A proposed collector network • Lake Hazel Road Extension to the east • McDermott Road connections to I-84, Kuna-Mora Road, and over the Boise River to State Highway 16 • Improvements to the arterials in the Southwest Boise Study Area anal C~nyon County Should any of these facilities be delayed or not implemented, traffic erns ' 1 change and the existing arterials in the Plan area may carry more traffic, requiring d ' io 1 cap ity. Preserving these corridors for 5-lanes is recommended and is c s tent with rrent ACHD practice. If interim conditions exist where these corridors are wide d to 3- ane roadways, the remaining ground between the edge of pavement and the ri -of--way lie ould be graded and treated with gravel until ultimate widening occurs. Overland Road Connection D The existing Overland Road and Te ile Roa in rsection is located too close to the location of a new interchange with I-84 a to operate adequately. A potential realignment of the intersection and conne on Overla Road from east of Ten Mile Road to McDermott Road was investigated and a annin evel evaluation of two alternative alignments between Ten Mile Road and Bl Ro d w s conducted. The conceptual alignments are presented in Figure 5 and the o i evalu tion is presented in Appendiz H. The potential connection will be an entirely n r dwa , an is not currently included in the ACHD CIP. Construction of the en ile interchange is currently planned to begin in the summer of 2009. A developer seeking t develop the southeast quadrant of the Ten Mile Road/Overland Road intersection expressed an interest in providing a realigned Overland Road through his property to anew intersection on Ten Mile Road. The potential for public/private partnerships make a future Overland Road Connection feasible and desirable given the need to improve traffic operations adjacent to the interchange. A realignment of Overland Road and the intersection with Ten Mile Road was approved and will be completed as part of the Ten Mile interchange project construction and apublic/private agreement for development of Southridge. w~hmgtcn otvi~on 18 ,lr~t*t'q,,, South Meridian Transportation Plan Draft Final Report ~~ - ~ .~ A representation of this alignment is shown in green east of Ten Mile Road in Figure 5.

ACHD's Intersection Planning Level Standards were used to determine planning level intersection improvements for the Plan. The only intersections not included in ACHD's standards are the conceptual roundabout intersections developed for this Plan. These tools are generic and interchangeable. The standard roadways and intersections identified in this section serve as templates that will provide an adequate LOS for 2030 travel demand. They are ideal improvements and all future project designs will be subject to contextual analysis. The ACHD Livable Street Design Guide and Street Typology Map, as adopted by ACHD, should be used to develop roadway cross sections in the South Meridian Area. If they are not desired, '~ ~9 South Meridian Transportation Plan Draft Final Report ACHD's standard street sections should be used if both ACHD and the City of Meridian agree it is appropriate.

The approaching roadways should be designed to provide adequate deflection so that entering traffic will slow down to recommended speeds (15- 20 mph) before entering the roundabout. Bicycle lanes on the approaching roadways should be terminated approximately 100-feet upstream of the yield line and ramps provided from the bicycle lane to the sidewalk. Bicyclists may travel through the single lane roundabout as a vehicle due to the low vehicle speeds or use the sidewalk and crosswalks as p estrian. For dual lane roundabouts it is recommended that bicyclists follow the ramp use the sidewalks. This does not prohibit bicyclists from using the roundabout as a vehic if the clists are experienced in navigating them. The sidewalks between the bicycl r p roan the roundabout should be 10-feet wide to serve as a shared pathwa f pedestri and bikes and to be in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. ~. i~ ~ , .~ 1 ~+~~ ~ :'~~ ~ r ` /- ~iT •. ~ ~ -- y - SSE ~ 1 ` - - _ - 1/ 16?

These areas, along with commercial and retail development, are focused along the major transportation arterials and will promote pedestrian and bicycle use because of the proximity of residences to shopping and working opportunities. Pedestrian and bicycle usage will also be relatively large from residential areas to the proposed schools in the South Meridian Area.

Future School Crossin ' The proposed land a the S uth eridian Comprehensive Plan Amendment, adopted in March 2008, ide tiff spot nti future locations for schools. There is the potential for six new high schools, lve new dle schools, and twenty four new elementary schools based on the Meridian Joint Sch of D' trict No. 2's planning thresholds of one elementary school every square mile, one mid a school every 2-2.5 square miles, and one high school every 3-4 square miles. The proposed school locations are flexible and may change as planning and development continues. Each school is required to develop a plan for providing pedestrian and bicycle access for their students as well as specific designs of the facilities and features needed. Future pedestrian and bicycle improvements should be coordinated and implemented as part of the planning process for each school. 30 ~,:f ~e~~ South Meridian Transportation Plan Draft Final Report a,....,ua~~t~ - Improvements Plan An interim year capacity analysis was conducted to approximately determine when improvements may be needed between 2010 and 2030. The Plan is based on the assumption that the South Meridian growth scenario modeled will fully develop by the year 2030. A linear extrapolation from the current year volumes to the design year forecast was prepared to estimate travel demand forecasts for each interim design year, namely 2010, 2015, 20 d 2025. If an intersection or roadway segment failed in an interim design period, the i r ements needed for the 2030 design year are recommended for implementation. Stages of onstru 'on for intersections were not investigated or recommended (e.g. construc 'n s' le 1 roundabout first initially and then reconstructing it as a dual lane roundabo timately). ese types of detailed project stages will be developed during detailed de ' ough the FYWP/CIP process.

Recommended Improvement Plan 3~ ~,:~ :e~~ South Meridian Transportation Plan Draft Final Report ~~ ~~ __--_ ~~ Generally, intersection improvements are required before roadway segment improvements. Spreadsheets detailing the interim year capacity analysis and listing all of the proposed improvements are found in Appendiz F. This plan does not dictate when specific projects and improvements will take place; it is included simply as an additional tool to guide ACHD in prioritizing projects in future i ions of the FYWP and the CIP. It is based on several assumptions, particularly the 1 at nand pace of development. Adjustments should be made as development occurs s at im ovements are provided as they become needed. Some changes are anticipated as the City of Kuna updates i c rehensive plan. If the North Kuna area develops with more density than currently pl ed, o e arterial roadways could require improvements sooner than the Recommended Im oveme is Plan presents. Ten Mile Road is a good example of this as the southern se ents of ile Road from Lake Hazel Road to Victory Road do not show improvem is needed un ' 2015 and 2020. However, if travel demand from the south wanting to acce s the n Mile interchange grows more quickly, these improvements will be needed so ner. The east-west arterial segment ' r~ Eagle Road to Cloverdale Road where the City of Meridian and the City f B~i~e la g areas abut should be coordinated with the Southwest Boise TNanspoYtatz Stu ecommendations. Some of these are shown to need improvement sooner t13az~rth~So w t Boise improvement plans show at this time. Responsibil' or ro~riding Improvements Several of the a erial r w y and intersection improvements identified in this Plan are not included in the ado ted or CIP. If an arterial improvement identified in this Plan is not planned for in the ado~ted CIP but is required due to the timing of development, options exist for implementation. For arterials or intersections, if an improvement is required prior to being programmed in ACHD's FYWP or CIP, developers will be required to dedicate the ultimate right-of--way and may be required to construct the improvement. Compensation for any eligible system improvements will be subject to a development agreement between ACHD and the developer. Collector roadways will require the right-of--way to be dedicated to ACRD and will be built with the developments. Benefit/Cost Analysis Benefit/Cost ratios were developed to prioritize the intersection improvements and the results are presented for each intersection based on their interim design period and estimated costs developed in the Needs Cost Estimate section of this report.

Benefitlcost analysis methodology and assumptions are described in Appendix E and tables calculating the present worth of these intersections are presented in Appendix I. The intersections with higher forecast demand generally show higher B/C ratios because more users equate to more overall delay savings, even when individual vehicle de y ductions are small. Roundabouts tend to show higher B/C ratios because, while they s ower traffic volumes overall, they reduce delay per vehicle more dramatically tha signal' d improvements in most cases. ~~ 2010 Seven i period, 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 2010-2 Ten into for the ~ 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

When the recommendations differ they are highlighted i th d whichever requirement is greater will be required. The figures outline the differenc i e configuration of the arterial intersections and roadways in this Plan and cu nt 1 ing documents. The differences at many locations are not significant; however, veral i tersections and roadway segments are not currently planned for improveme current plans while they do require improvements in this Plan. This accounts or me o the cost differences in the comparison. The estimated cost for this Plan's reco a ded i ter ection improvements is more than double that of ACHD's plans ($82,842,000 v sus $ 2 ,000). The roadway need costs are much closer with this Plan recommending $1 22 00 in cost versus ACI-ID's plans recommending $121,977,000. Costs totaled for the South Meridian Area in the CIP came to $157,905,000. The additional cost needed to implement the recommendations of the Plan is approximately $76,161,000. This estimate is subject to change depending on the cost of construction materials, right-of--way, and the rate of inflation. Some of the additional costs may be offset through public-private partnerships with land developers. '~ 3$ ,~trd ~~~,,, South Meridian Transportation Plan Draft Final Report ~.,,..arrut~ Figure ~5.

The creation and adoption of an access management plan provides many benefits to communities by maintaining good traffic flow and increasing public safety by reducing c~ it f~t points while providing access to development. The key to a successful program is to have regulatory power over access management before development occurs so standards will be in place and enforceable as applicants design their sites. Land use and access management are closely tied together. When they are not coordinated, access management standards may not be realistic to meet the needs of the development. For example, major arterials are generally be by limiting access to key locations in a mile. requires properties along the arterial to share driveways and develop frontage ro s for a which requires larger lots and at et c not meet the setback and size eedk!e~farrea s Example of right-tum only access control m the arterial. If the lots along the arterial do of the desired access management plan will become difficult. Arterials ha regio 1 importance and are intended to serve moderate to high volumes of traffic trav 'ng r ati ly ong distances at higher speeds. Direct lot access is restricted and cros cress, reau red. The South Meri2i~an Ac~s~Ianagement Plan was developed to provide restricted access on arterials to improve~t of 'c flow and safety by limiting the number of public road and driveway approaches. Roadways that serve regional mobility place more emphasis on traffic flow than on local access and therefore have even stricter access control. Residential arterials and collectors provide connectivity from the regional roadways to smaller neighborhood commercial centers and residential development and may need more access points. Existing Access Management Policy and Standards ACRD has existing access management standards for arterials and collectors under its jurisdiction in Section 7200 of the ACRD Policy Manual. These standards are currently being updated and will limit direct access on arterial roadways and require development to consolidate access points. The goals of this access management policy update are to extend the life of ACRD roadways, increase public safety, and reduce traffic congestion. 4t we:~~on ot+ ~.a t't+,1w. ~,.-.~~~ Access Management Standards South Meridian Transportation Plan Draft Final Report Access Management standards for the South Meridian area were developed and applied to the street typology categories designated in ACHD's Livable Street Design Guide. The Access Management Plan provides for collaboration between ACRD and the City of Meridian to ensure access restrictions along arterials in the South Meridian Area are appropriate for adjacent land uses while ensuring required mobility. The South Meridian Access Management Standards are outlined in Figure 17. All of the standards are based on the future urban/su b n character of this area and represent the minimum spacing between access points allo ed ong arterial roadways.

Alternative Innovative access management alternatives are encouraged for specific locations in order to provide sustainable roadways that meet the goals of mobility and access. The City of Meridian has planned for large mixed use regional developments around the Amity Road/Meridian Road (State Highway 69) and Lake Hazel Road/Meridian Road (State Highway 69) intersections and a neighborhood center around the Lake Hazel Road/Locust Grove Road intersection. The access needs of these developments may require some innovative access management ideas along the arterial roadways. An example of a potential access strategy is found in a proposal for the neighborhood center around the Lake Hazel Road/Locust Grove Road intersection. The land owner has researched some innovative alternatives to a conventional, standard intersection. These alternatives, while not strictly adhering to the standards, could provide the desired balance between mobility and 48 ++ o . ~ e ,,~,,.+*~~~ South Meridian Transportation Plan Draft Final Report access for the neighborhood center. A brief discussion and example concepts prepared by a potential developer are included in Appendiz G.

Access Management Implementation This Access Management Plan provides an opportunity for collaboration between ACHD and the City of Meridian to ensure access along arterials is appropriate for adjacent land uses and provides necessary mobility. Specific proposals may be discussed and refined, similar to the process currently occurring at the neighborhood center around the Lake Hazel Road and Locust Grove Road intersection. Land owners actively seeking to redevelop should be aware of the access standards and the reasoning behind them, including the street typologies. The development application process will allow ACHD, the City of Meridian, and the landowners to determine how access standards will be met, including transition plans. ACHD's roles in implementing the Access Management Plan include: '~ 54 wasrvr~n ot. ~-.~ ~ ---_~ ~~~" *~'a.

See attached a-mail below. b. Screens are currently slated for use at Meridian Well #23-B if needed. 2) FINAL PRESSURE GROUT ABANDONMENT: a. Following on from the previous project update (below), McLeran did indeed receive his new grouting machine and he set to work grouting. b. The well took >15 cubic yards more grout than it should have taken to fill the well casing; an indication of void space outside the casing. Such voids are the reason why we need to properly abandon the well. c. We did achieve undiluted grout return at the surface and we feel the well is completely plugged with no future liability to the City. 3) CONTRACTOR CHARGES: a. Total cost of the job at last notice (below) was$ 10,410 working from a contract number of ~$ 23K. b. At the time of the last update, we had a remaining budget of $ 12,590. c. The remaining work, including the additional grout volume (~ $ 8,000), preserving the 5/13!2009 Page 2 of 3 existing building, and patching the floor, totaled to $ 23,054.50 (see attached). d. This $gKgmut-volume overage, coupled with the well screen extraction (described below) resulted in a total project overage of $10,464.50, e. Therefore we need a change order for the project in the amount of $ 10,464.50. 4} CONCLUSIONS: a. Meridian Well #? is properly and completely abandoned. b. 60 feet of stainless steel re-useable well screens were extracted from the well for future use (or sale). c. Removing the well screens resulted in a much better overall abandonment. d. The existing building was not damaged at all and the floor patched where the well was. e. Significant voids outside the casing were filled and sealed with bentonite-based grout. f. The drilling contractor did an excellent jab for the City at very reasonable cost. g. The fina11DWR abandonment filing is prepared and waiting only on a signature from the driller. h. HLI's final report to the City, with associated as-abandoned diagram, is in process. i. Current priority, for us (and I know for the City as well), is to get the Change Order developed and the driller paid. 5) CO NDATIONS: a. Develop a change order for $ 10,464.50 for the driller to cover the final cost of the abandonment. Please let us know ifthere is more we can do to help.

McLeran was able to squeeze his small truck-mounted rig in the small available space. 2) PERFORATION AND REMOVAL OF THE WELL SCREEN: a. Although I had not previously mentioned this to the City, I first wanted to see if we could actually remove and salvage the existing screens. b. These are stainless steel and should remain in useable condition. c. The cost of 50-feet of 10-inch diameter stainless, continuous V-wire wound well screen is estimated at about $ l OK new. d. We gave McLeran a short window, either we get it to work or not, owing to the limited SJ13/2009 Page 3 of 3 budget for abandonment. e. We were able to perforate the lower tail pipe, get the gravel pack moving and loose with swabbing, and extract the screened section. f. We will keep track of these items which we may be able to use on another City project or perhaps sell them. 3} 1~ E`r: a. Total cost of the job to date is $ 10,410 working from a contract number of ~$ 23K. b. With no surprises, we should be able to finish under budget with the extracted screen thown in as a bonus.

Fe~_ /' Y.~ :~ ~. r • ' ~ Aug. 11, 2008 - Cornell University Eating less, eating local and eating better could slash U.S. energy use, CU study finds By Susan Lang How much energy we use to produce food could be cut in half if Americans ate less and ate local foods, wolfed down less meat, dairy and junk food, and used more traditional- farming methods, says a new Cornell study. "We could reduce the fossil energy used in the U.S. food system by about 50 percent with relatively simple changes in how we produce, process, package, transport and consume our food," said David Pimentel, professor emeritus of ecology and agriculture in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell. Pimentel's analysis, co-authored with five former Cornell undergraduates who were in Pimentel's Environmental Policy course in 2006, is published in the academic journal Human Ecology. Pimentel says that about 19 percent of the total fossil fuel used in this country goes into the food system -- about the same amount we use to fuel cars. His analysis details how changes in the food system could reduce energy. For example, the researchers recommend: Eat less and cut down on junk food: To produce the typical American diet requires the equivalent of about 500 gallons of oil per year per person, says the study. Americans, on average, consume about 50 percent more calories than recommended by the federal government for optimal health and get one-third of their calories from junk food. Eating less and cutting down on junk food would use significantly less energy, considering all the processing, packaging and transportation costs saved. Eat less meat and dairy: We use 45 million tons of plant protein to produce 7.5 million tons of animal protein per year, according to Pimentel. Switching to a vegetarian diet, he says, would require one-third less fossil fuel than producing the current animal-based American diet. Eat more locally grown food: Food travels an average of 1,500 miles before it is eaten. "This requires 1.4 times the energy than the energy in the food," Pimentel said. A head of iceberg lettuce, for example, which is 95 percent water, provides 110 calories and few nutrients. Irrigating the lettuce in California takes 750 calories of fossil energy and shipping it to New York another 4,000 calories of energy per head, according to the analysis. Locally grown cabbage, on the other hand, requires only 400 calories to produce and offers far more nutrients, not to mention it can be stored all winter long. Use more traditional farming methods: Pimentel's team also shows how using methods to reduce soil erosion, irrigation and pesticide use, through such things as crop rotation, manure and cover crops, could cut the total energy now used in crop production. The study's co-authors are Sean Williamson, Courtney Alexander, Omar Gonzalez-Pagan, Caitlin Kontak and Steven Mulkey, all Cornell Class of 2007. 0 .,.., U . ~.., A N r--~ C~ N Q w w 0 0 N N c~ U .~ cOc . n!'~1 • ~ '+,,..~ ^~^l ~L~/ ~~ O rr~ "I~ 0 . ~ O w ~ v ~ ~ ~ ° rn > ~~ .

Public comment, for what it is worth. I merely want to point out at least my citizen perspective on the matter. The $100,000 rebate from Idaho Power is taxpayer money, as you know. I believed the $ was intended to create a net savings for the city (le: taxpayers). To now spend it on grants as noted within tonight's packet was not the orfginal Intent of the savings. Based upon what the packet seems to represent if the money is to be used to subsidize office space expenses, even if in a location which is "green", ~ creates an dilemma for city in explaining that to other properties within the city who are competing for those tenants. The economy is tough enough as it is without having to compete with the government too. I would ask that the monies remain with the city and used to cover core expenses; to treat the savings as, well..... savings. If there is more to the story feel free to let me know but thought I'd throw out my thoughts since I was involved in the matter when the savings were created. Thanks for your consideration.

Memo To: Jaycee Holman; Tara Green From: Brent Blake, Engineering Technician II CC: Tom Bany, Public Works Director Kyle Radek, P.E., Assistant City Engineer Date: May 8, 2009 Re: Proposed Agenda Item for May 19, 2009 City Council Meeting The Public Works Department respectfully requests the following items be placed on the May 19, 2009 City Council agenda, under Consent Agenda, for Council's consideration. Reallocation of funds from Waterline Extensions to Well #27 Construction A reallocation of funds from Waterline Extensions (349096140) into Well #27 Construction (349096158) is needed to cover the cost for the construction of the Well #27 Pump House. The "Pressure Zone 1" project, which would have used the funds from the Waterline Extensions account in FY09, will be delayed until FY11 and therefore will not have a negative impact. The Pump House was originally forecasted to be constructed in FY2010. However, in view of the fact that Well #10 has been taken out of service due to uranium levels that exceed EPA Drinking Water requirements, the Engineering Division has proactively moved forward with the construction of Well #27 in order to continue providing a quality water system to the public. Recommended Council Action: The Public Works Department recommends that City Council approves the reallocation of funds in the amount of $315,000.00 and authorize the Mayor to sign and City Clerk to attest. Thank you for your consideration. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding any of these items. • Page 1 May 22, 2009 Department Reports MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING May 26, 2009 APPLICANT Parks Department ITEM NO. 6-D-1 REQUEST Budget Amendment for Heroes Park Phase 3 Playground Structures for $17,575.44 AGENCY CITY CLERK: CITY ENGINEER: CITY PLANNING DIRECTOR: CITY ATTORNEY CITY POLICE DEPT: CITY FIRE DEPT: CITY BUILDING DEPT: CITY WATER DEPT: CITY SEWER DEPT: CITY PARKS DEPT: MERIDIAN SCHOOL DISTRICT: ADA COUNTY HIGHWAY DISTRICT: SANITARY SERVICE COMPANY CENTRAL DISTRICT HEALTH: NAMPA MERIDIAN IRRIGATION: SETTLERS IRRIGATION: IDAHO POWER: US WEST: INTERMOUNTAIN GAS: MERIDIAN POST OFFICE: OTHER: Contacted: COMMENTS See attached Date: Phone: Emailed: Staff Initials: Materials presented at public meetings shall become property of the Cily of Meridian. zQ ~< ~~ W .Q N C N N a 0 c?o E a' m ' r ;.

Woodhaven Meridian, ID 83642 (208) 713-1955 robwalker@alumni.duke.edu With an extensive background in the arts and arts education, I look forward to your favorable review of my qualifications for a position on the Meridian Arts Commission. I am a resident of Meridian and am deeply involved in the arts in the Treasure Valley. My candidacy offers the city ahands-on perpective from the artist's point of view. My background includes work as a music composer and performer. As a composer, my music has been heard on television shows such as NBC's Friday Night Lights, ABC's Castle, CBS's Shark, and FOX's The O.C.. My music was also heard in Disney's movie, College Road Trip. I recently was fortunate to have the Meridian Symphony read my new composition for orchestra which demonstarted how one of the city's arts organization is helping local artists hone their craft. As a performer, I have pertormed with such acts as Ray Charles, Natalie Cole, The Supremes, The Temptations, The Moody Blues, and Wayne Newton. I have also played the national touring shows of "Spamalot" and "Chicago". I am active as a music educator and have pertormed and provided student clinics at the Gene Harris Jazz Festival and was the co-founder of the Gene Harris Jazz Camp as well as Boise State's "Jazz Saturdays" concert and education series. In addition my musical pursuits, I also work as a college educator in Meridian as a founding member of the University of Phoenix's Idaho Campus. I have faciliated over 140 courses for the University in such disciplines as Marketing, Public Relations, Economic Theory, and Sales Management. I am also active as an Academic Quality Assessor, New Faculty Mentor, and a Student Success Coach for the campuses tutoring program for which I created and implemented the business plan. Previously, I was the Executive Director of the Boise Master Chorale which afforded me the opportunity to experience managing a Board of Directors as well as grant writing and arts advocacy. I also honed my skills in the operational aspects of presenting and promoting concerts. While living in Seattle, I also served on the Seattle Corporate Council for the Arts Associates Program. This program funds 53 arts organizations in the Puget Sound region. I have a deep passion for the arts and see art as a necessary part of a thriving community. Pablo Pacasso is credited with stating that "Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." In any society, it is art that creates the vibracy of the community and provides a foil to everyday life so one can better appreciate life's challenges and triumphs. I look forward to advancing the concept to "Take Part in the Arts" in Meridian. Robert Walker 490 S.

Maybe Doug knows? She mentioned that she also lives on Shreveport, near where the Sterling Creek homes begin to sit back to back with our neighborhood. Her main concerns were trash and noise, based on earlier experience of people using the property as apathway/hang out area. I would hope that regularly space trash and dog cleanup stations would go a long way towards helping keep the area clean. I have talked to a few of my immediate neighbors and they are supportive. Would it be best for them to email, call in or attend the public hearing? What time does the hearing start? Unfortunately I am busy Thursday night. Hopefully Doug or another board member can attend. Sincerely, Greg Fastabend From: Matthew Ellsworth [mailto:mellsworth@meridiancity.org] Sent: Monday, April 20, 2009 9:37 AM To: Greg Fastabend Cc: Doug Mason; Steve Siddoway Subject: RE: Five Mile Creek Pathway Greg, Thank you for your questions about and support for this project. First, in response to possible neighborhood opposition, I'd like to identify the folks who are concerned with the proposed pathway and invite them to discuss the project one more time. We may be able to include certain design treatments that will ease some of their concerns. The point of the project is to provide a new amenity for residents, so it will be preferable if everyone can come together on it. If there is still some opposition after the follow-up discussions, I'll talk to Doug to see what comes next (whether a complete consensus is necessary among HOA members to grant an easement, if it's up to the Board, or if the group makes the call some other way). In any event, if you have the names and contact info of people who are concerned please let me know. As far as ways you can help, the support of you and your neighbors is essential to the success of this project. City Council will open the public hearing and comment period for use of funds for the pathway on Tuesday (4/21). The comment period will continue for just over a month. With your permission, I will include your email with any other comments we receive, but the more feedback about the project the better. Council will also ask for in-person testimony about proposed projects, and it would be great to have someone from the HOA attend to represent the group. There will be additional opportunities to provide testimony, and I'll let you know when they are scheduled. I also have a meeting with members of Sterling Creek HOA on Thursday (4/23) at 6:30 p.m. If you, Doug, or another representative of the group is available to share Danbury's perspective and participate in the discussion, that would be great. Please let me know if you are available and would like to attend. With the additional connections you mentioned, we are planning on a new link to the neighborhood via Inez/Crossbill. We can look into the link to Sandlin/Stonehenge as well. That connection is part of the City's broader proposed network, but not part of the Five Mile Creek Pathway. Regardless of the name, it will increase ease of access for pathway users. It will require contact with one additional property owner, but if he/she is on board and it is not cost prohibitive then it seems appropriate to include. 4/30/2009 Page 2 of 2 Thank you again for your support!

Inez Place if we knew there would be an opening to that dangerous creek, as our properly is located just a half block from the entrance to the proposed pathway. With the chain link fence in place as it is now, we know the children are safe and in no danger of falling into the water. Knowing how small children are attracted to water, this plan is a tragedy waiting to happen. Would you please consider having some type of fence or barrier next to the water, or another idea would be to place a culvert through the subdivision for the water to flow through, but would not be a danger to the children. Surely there must be some solution to this problem. _ Please put yourself in our position and imagine that you have small children and live just a short distance from this proposed open pathway to the creek---what would you do?? We hope to hear from you with any suggestions you may have. Thank you. Roger and Kathy strander 5/22/2009 .. :,,.

We have been asked by the members of the Initial Point Owners Association (IPOA} to prepare a written response to your correspondence dated March 27, 2009, regarding the above-referenced matter'.. IPOA recognizes the utility o#'the proposed Pathways project; however, the members o#' IPOA have legitimate concerns about the proposal you forwarded in your March 27a' correspondence.. Specifically, the project as described rn your letter appears to create a pathway system along the rear {south side) of the IPOA common areas, This area is not easily monitored from Fairview Avenue, the main thoroughfare, or perpendicularly via East 5~ Streei". ~ fact, the any m~way access to the subdivision is from Fairview Avenue via North Lakes., We believe that a pathway sited sfl far from the main roadway would provide increased opportunities for theft and vandalism.. Has the Meridian Police Department {MPD) been apprised of this proposal, and if so, what is its position regarding the likeli"hood of increases in property crime to IPS? Is there a play by MPD to increase its patrol presence in this area? Is there fimding available for such an increase in patrols to the area? Pursuant to the UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT' CODE OF THE CITY OF MERIDL4N, two (2) of the stated goals o#'the ordinance are to: (1) Ensure the most appropriate rise of properties, and (2) Protect property rights and enhance property values., Unified Develoument Code of'the City of Meridian, § i 1-1-2 (E} & (F}u Ar~g~ably, the Pathways project as currently envisioned places significant pressure upon these goals for property owners in the 1PS.. 847E Fairview Ave. Meridian, ID 83b42 • (208) 855-2200, Fax (208) 855-0873 • www. murphylawoffice.com Letter Matthew Ellsworth Dated April 9, 2009 Page 2 In aut• opinion, creating a pedestrian access point along the rear of IPS has located within create a significant increase in theft and vandalism to throe and tuzQ s~ d b~~ ~ o our garbage IpS., We already have issues with illegal dumping p p ~ int located at the containers duYing evening and weekend hours..

To recap our conversation, you and your husband live at 953 N. Maple Creek Avenue, and you favor the project. While you feel it will benefit the area, you want to make sure that privacy in your backyard is maintained. You currently have a solid wood fence (not see through), and so long as there is not and will not be a requirement to make the fence see through with construction of this project or in the future, you support the proposed pathway. Please let me know if this accurately summarizes your feelings about the project. If I missed anything or am misrepresenting your comments, please let me know. I will submit your input into the public record, and include it with other comments to Council when they consider the funding for design of the pathway. Council is tentatively scheduled to consider the proposed project at the regular City Council 5/21/2009 Page 2 of 2 meeting on May 26th. If you would like to provide in person testimony at that time, you are welcome to do so. Thank you again for weighing in on this proposed project.

One item that I forgot to mention is the parking problum along the east side of our street(the Johnson axcess easment). The carwash owners are telling their employees they have the right to park on the easment street becarse it is a private easment. Initial Point owner assoc. have tried to stop them from parking along our easment because it Greats a traffic problum when the car wash gets busy. If this easment is to be used as a bike- walking path there would need to be (No Parking) signs Installed and enforced. This is just another issue that needs to be considered in future meetings. Thanks LaMont Kouba---- Original Message ----- 'rom: Matthew Ellsworth ~o: IalynkoC~ ~ee~ouick net Sent: Monday, May 04, 2009 1:21 PM Subject: Five Mile Creek Pathway Vlr. Kouba, Thank you for calling today with input on the proposed Five Mile Creek Pathway project. To recap our conversation: 1. We discussed reasons why the pathway alignment strays from the creek as it approaches Fairview, and traverses the southern edge of Initial Point's common lot. That alignment provides a safe, signalized crossing of Fairview Ave. for pathway users. 2. You pointed out that the roadway access to Initial Point is on a private easement from the property owner east of the business park (Johnson). The extension of Lakes south of Fairview is a private lane that will require additional conversations with the property owner and tenant (car dealership) as it is not public right-of-way. 3. Vandalism is a concern for property and business owners in Initial Point. An increased formal (seasonal Police patrols and periodic Parks Department maintenance activity) and informal (other pathway users) monitoring presence may decrease the likelihood of vandalism or other illegal activity in this area. 4. It is also important to keep pathway users off of (1) the drainage area in the southwest comer of Initial Point's common lot and (2) the drive isle that provides access to and parking for the buildings set back from Fairview/the private lane (south of Lakes). Installation of signage, fencing, and curbing will be discussed and incorporated in the design of this pathway as means to clearly delineate the public pathway easement from private property. 5. I indicated that I've spoken to Kay Ballard and Charles Murphy about this project. Mr. Murphy indicated in a letter that Initial Point Owners Association does not support the project at this time. I requested time to speak to Mr. Murphy and/or any representatives of the OA about this project and different ways that we may be able to address any concerns of property or business owners near the proposed project. With the understanding that certain design elements must be part of this project to minimize the chances of vandalism or other property damage resulting from increased foot and bicycle traffic in this area, and to clearly mark where the private realm ends and private property begins, you indicated that you are ok with the project. Please let me know if this accurately summarizes our conversation and your take on this proposed pathway. The City will continue the dialogue with the other members of Initial Point OA and, should the project proceed to design, look to all interested parties in the design process so that we include appropriate pathway elements to make this a safe and beneficial facility.

I think the discussion went well, and I'm hopeful that we can work with the Association to address any outstanding concerns through the design process. To recap, the main issues raised were: 1. Safety/Liability: One member expressed concern over encouraging the public to use a facility that is not physically separated from the creek. To address this concern, I proposed the possibility of education through various means (flyers, signage, etc.) to make people aware of potential safety risks that may result from misuse I mentioned an Idaho Code of the proposed pathway and adjacent irrigation facilities. On the legal side, provision that releases private property owners from liability in instances in which they allow a recreational easement for public use. Additional information about that provision is attached. 2. Security: Members asked what steps the City will take to deter illegal activities on the pathway and adjacent properties. I responded that the Meridian Police Department is expanding its bicycle patrols, and this proposed pathway seems a likely candidate. We can engage the Police Department in further discussions of this possibility, frequency of patrols, etc., prior to pathway construction. Several members were also supportive of day-use-only rules on the pathway, and that is certainly something we can consider. Consensus was not achieved among members on this issue, so I'm interested in your thoughts. 3. Maintenance: Th ent s at least'/Z mile long and (3) pub/ caaccess)is granted aPend ng public acacess geanted2by the pathway segm the HOA, the proposed pathway meets all three criteria. Please let me know if there are other issues that I missed. Also, the City will begin the public comment period to allow the use of federal grant funds for this project on April 21. The comment period will run for a minimum of 30 days. If you or any of your neighbors would like to weigh in, please let me know. Finally, I'm scheduled to meet with the Sterling Creek HOA on Thursday, April 23 at 6:30. If you are available to attend it may be good to (1) convey Danbury's initial response to the proposed project and (2) hear any thoughts or concerns that they may have. Please let me know if this is something that you have time for and/or interest in. Thanks again - Matt Ellsworth Associate City Planner Meridian Planning Department 33 E.

Also attached is the safety section of the Plan, which brushes on some important design elements that can create a safe and beneficial system (for both users and nearby property owners). The liability section is immediately after the safety section (same pdf). I also have a PowerPoint presentation that can help to spark the discussion. I can either reserve a laptop computer and projector from the City (if there is a wall, or somewhere to project) or print copies for attendees (or both). Please let me know what works for you.

This review cannot be completed because it does not comply with legal description and mapping requirements. The description of the annexation does not close to 1:5000. The eighth call reads S 1-08-45 W 1073.5 feet; map has S1-08-45 W 1703.5 feet. This annexation does not meet the requirements of Idaho Code, 63-215 or IDAPA 35.01.03.225.03 listed below. The following citations list and define the required actions: Idaho Code 63-215 requires: a. A copy of the legal description designating the boundaries, b. A map, prepared in a draftsman like manner, which plainly and clearly designates the boundaries, and c. Both the legal description and map must be submitted to the Tax Commission within ten (10) days of the effective date of the annexation. 2. IDAPq 35.01.03.225.03 defines a legal description to be a definite boundary which: a. Is described by metes and bounds, b. Can be mapped on a tax code area map, and c. Includes I. Section, Township, Range, and Meridian, ii. An initial point, iii. A true point of beginning, and iv. A closure accuracy of at least one (1) part in five thousand (5,000) 3. IDAPq 35.01.03.225.04 defines a map prepared in a draftsman like manner as "an original graphic representation or precise copy matching the accompanying legal description and drafted to scale using standard mechanical drawing instruments or a computer." Before this annexation can be processed for the 2010 year, the discrepancies listed need to be corrected. Thank you for your attention to the required legal descriptions and mapping requirements.
