The Special meeting of the Meridian City Council was called to order by Mayor Robert
D. Corrie at 7:05 P.M.:
MEMBERS PRESENT: Walt Morrow, Charlie Rountree, Glenn Bentley, Ron Tolsma:
OTHERS PRESENT: Will Berg, Wayne Crookston, Don Howell:
Corrie: I will open the special meeting for City Council. This is a public hearing for LID
97-1, Cherry Lane Village Subdivision No. 1 fence improvement project. I will open the
meeting, is there a representative of the LID here? I will have you come up, I think the
Council has all of the information and they have reviewed. Does the Council have any
questions?
Crookston: Since this is a public hearing he does have to be sworn.
Don Howell, 1641 Interlachen Way, Meridian, was sworn by the City Attorney.
Corrie: Council, any questions?
Morrow: For the record could we have him give us an overview of where they have
come from and where they are headed, those types of things.
Howell: Okay, where we have come from, obviously there is a problem with the fence
deteriorating on the south side of our subdivision which borders there on Cherry Lane.
We have been trying to work on trying to improve that. The conclusion that we came up
to was to establish an LID so we can get a common fence that looks alike. The LID
gave us the means of financing it to establish that fence line. So the specifications that
we came up with and so forth was mutually compatible with at least our minimal amount
of number to establish the LID. We got the information that we thought we were going
to need and established that, got the information and presented it to the City Attorney
and Clerk. They have initiated things from there and we are just here in response to
that.
Corrie: Comments or questions Council? Is there anyone else from the public that
would like to issue testimony in this special meeting? Seeing none, Council any
questions of staff?
Morrow: Mr. Mayor, for the record Mr. Crookston could you review, you have reviewed
the resolution and all of those and everything is in order?
Crookston: Yes it is

Corrie: Any other questions, hearing none I will close the public hearing. Council,
pleasure? We will need an ordinance drawn up by Mr. Crookston. There are no
findings for this hearing is that correct?
Crookston: No there are none.
Morrow: Mr. Mayor, I would move that we instruct the City Attorney to prepare an
ordinance for LID 97-1.
Bentley: Second
Corrie: Motion made and seconded that we instruct the City Attorney to draw up an
ordinance for LID 97-1, any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor?
Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
Corrie: So we will get the ordinance up and get it started for you.
(Inaudible)
Howell: So peripheral issues just to expedite the implementation of this in regard to the
exact fence location. I would like to work with the contractors that you procure and
establish exactly where that goes and coordinate that with the Nampa Meridian
Irrigation District so the owners might have maximum space given to them. Then as far
as establishing the property lines I would coordinate that with the property owners. If
the two property owners can mutually agree on a property line then, because there is
supposed to be a fence post on the property line. If the two mutual property owners
can agree on that point and establish that should be adequate as far as I am
concerned. I am asking that as a question. If not then the said property owners could
have someone survey it at their expense to establish that point. Then there are also
issues to be asked as far as regarding the, how to put the fencing around the entrance
ways where the brick is already there. We would like, the homeowners would like a
little bit of input on how that is installed. Like I said, I didn't include these things in
earlier because I didn't want to encumber the document but I do want this shared as to
clarify to help with the implementation of it. Thank you
Rountree: Don, I have one thing you might pursue. ACHD or their contractor should
have re-established property pins after the construction on Cherry Lane. If they didn't
you probably ought to coordinate with them and see if they won't do that.
Howell: Okay, that is valuable information. (Inaudible) Well there are already existing
fences if we just extend those it shouldn't be a problem, but just to keep it official if we
need to.

Crookston: Just for the Council's record, I have worked with the committee trying to
establish this LID because I am a resident within the Cherry Lane Subdivision. I think it
is a very good idea to have a common fence line that hopefully will look like it is done
very well and that has been my involvement in this project. I am not an owner of
property that will be within the LID because I am back in Cherry Lane Subdivision No. 2
rather than No. 1. But I wanted the Council to be aware of that, that I have worked with
Don and the committee that was created and adopted and I think it is very good of the
Council to go ahead and create the LID because I think it will significantly improve the
fence would significantly improve the appearance of the Subdivision and for that matter
Cherry Lane. Thank you
Corrie: At this time I will close the special hearing meeting at 7:14 p.m.
Crookston: You need a motion to adjourn.
Corrie: That is correct so I will leave it up to you.
Morrow: I move we adjourn the special meeting.
Rountree: Second
Corrie: Motion made that we adjourn the special meeting, all those in favor? Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
