May those who call Meridian their home enjoy the peace and stability that allows them to live quiet and dignified lives. And we pray tonight for those who lead and serve our community, remembering your own example, Lord Jesus, when you took a towel and a basin of water and went around the table and washed your own disciples' feet, teaching them that the greatest leader is also a servant. Help us to remember, Lord, that as we lead we are called to serve. Give us the wisdom, the grace, the foresight and the understanding to do that.

Item 50 Moved to Regular Agenda Zaremba: We are going through the pages very fast. All right. We are at Item 6, which is a discussion of what was Item 5-O, resolution 10-731. Nary: Mr. President? Zaremba: Mr. Nary. Nary: Mr. President, Members of the Council, the reason we had asked to have this removed is just to give the Council a brief heads up and a couple of issues. Council's familiar with this, it's the inter-agency agreement with the Ada County Highway District for waiver of cost of fees. You discussed it at your recent joint meeting with them. We didn't have any issues that -- I don't think will change your action tonight, but we wanted to make you aware that we -- in discussing it yesterday among the staff we were looking at implementation of this particular direction. One of the things we wanted to make you aware is that we will -- through the building department will be attracting any type of these sort of fees that are being waived, so that we will have measure for the Council in the future as to what -- what the cost has been and, additionally, there is a requirement in this agreement that if we were to cancel the agreement we would have to, then, go back over an 18 month period and evaluate what fees should have been paid and, therefore, what fees would, then, have to be paid back to ACHD by canceling this agreement. Secondarily, there is some -- in our discussion yesterday this agreement doesn't incorporate any information or any direction in regards to our contracted inspectors. They don't come into play very often with ACHD projects, but Public Works is currently working on a subsequent agreement with ACRD that would deal with that. Mr. Stewart I think could probably address that for you briefly and, then, I have just got a couple of other things to mention before we move on. Zaremba: Warren. Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 6 of 40 Stewart: President, Members of the Council, the Public Works Department, specifically engineering, has been working with ACHD to develop a memorandum of understanding to address a few issues that have come up over the past few months, kind of put these things to rest, and we are planning to come before you on the 13th at the regular workshop and present the information in that memorandum of understanding. But one thing that may play into this is we have -- one of the issues that's come up that we are trying to resolve is the situation where our inspectors, our regular Public Works inspectors, would be requested to come out on a job site and do inspection work after hours. Our ordinance normally calls for us to charge an after hours fee, an additional fee for after hours inspection. ACRD is, you know, not too excited about that. There is a lot of different things that come to play when that happens. We will be bringing that forward before you in discussing that a little bit more, getting your feedback and getting your direction for us as we prepare that memorandum of understanding, but that particular fee may play into this agreement a little bit as well. Just wanted to make sure that you were aware of that. Zaremba: Okay. Thank you. Nary: And, lastly, Mr. President, Members of the Council, just want to, again, give you a heads up on this. We are exploring whether or not this is a viable type of arrangement we can make with any other governmental entity and from a staff discussion -- and, obviously, we would have this further discussion with you when the Mayor is present as well -- this was very specific to ACRD and in trying to evaluate the city's needs and the city's -- the impact of the city's full staff, administrative, as well as cost, this seems like a very good relationship of -- type of agreement to have. The balance between what the city's impacts are financially and ACHD's seem to pencil out in a very positive -- or positive way for the city, but it is really very specifically, because ACHD, essentially, doesn't construct buildings and that's probably the biggest impact to the city if we were to look at other entities at how that would impact us, is how to offset both the inspector issues, the plan reviews, those types of things. But we did have that discussion, again, in the future. We just wanted to make sure it was clear on the record for the public that this -- this agreement was really geared specifically to ACHD and their inner workings with the city and like Mr. Stewart said, there has been other issues that will, hopefully, get ironed out in a separate agreement. Zaremba: And we could do those as an addendum or -- Nary: Yeah. This contemplates other agreements may exist, so any other agreements may simply reference this one, if necessary. But, yeah, we can go forward on this one as it is. Zaremba: Okay. Council, any discussion? I would entertain a motion. Rountree: Mr. President? Zaremba: Mr. Rountree. Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 7 of 40 Rountree: I move that we approve Item 5-O, 10-731. Bird: Second. Zaremba: I have discussion, which I should have mentioned earlier. I am aware that ACHD approved this on their Consent Agenda about 13 days ago. Madam Clerk. Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea. Zaremba: All ayes. The motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Item 7: Action Items A. Continued Public Hearing From June 1, 2010: PFP 10-002 Freedomworks Subdivision by Wally Morgas Located Southwest Corner of W. Overland Road and South Stoddard Road: Request for Approval of a Combined Preliminary /Final Plat Consisting of 3 Building Lots on 11.91 Acres of Land in a C-G Zoning District Zaremba: All right. That brings us to the first of our action items and I will open the continued public hearing for PFP 10-002 and start with the staff report. Friedman: Thank you, Council President Zaremba, Members of the Council. This is a combined preliminary/final plat for Freedom Works. The subject site is located at the corner of Overland Road and Stoddard Road. By way of background, the property was actually annexed and zoned and given a Conditional Use Permit for a planned development back in 2004 and at that time it was contemplated that there would be nine mini-storage buildings, 3,200 square foot office retail building, 1,600 square foot care taking apartment and indoor storage building. In addition, also approved was a concept to build 27,000 square feet of office retail space at the corner. In 2007 the CUP and the planned development were modified to allow for a single story 15,000 foot -- square foot retail building and the addition of 3,000 square feet of existing storage building. So, what is out there, really, is the Venga Works building and the Freedom Storage building and so the applicants have come in and what they would like to do is -- or what they propose is this three lot subdivision. On Lot 1 you would have Venga Works. Lot 2 you would have the storage unit. And, then, at the corner you would have a future site to be developed. The conditions of the previous approvals require that a Conditional Use Permit will be necessary to develop that lot. The access to the site currently is through just the one existing access off of Overland Road. The applicants have requested that the Council grant a second right-in, right-out access on Stoddard Road. As Council knows, our UDC restricts access from arterials and directs them to be taken from a local street. However, there is no local street there. So, under the provisions of the UDC Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 8 of 40 normally access would be taken via across-access easement between the future three lots and the applicants have requested that the Council waive that restriction. They are proposing aright-in, right-out, on Stoddard Road. Currently here is the existing access. There is an emergency access for the fire department farther down Stoddard Road, but proposed access that the applicant has requested is further to the north on what will be Lot 3. See if we have a -- there is a little close up of what they are proposing. At the Commission hearing the applicants, represented by Laren Bailey, spoke in favor of the application. There was no opposition. There was no one neutral. There was no written testimony. And the Commission did not identify any key items to be discussed, nor were there any changes to the staff recommendation, so, really, the outstanding issue is the requested access to Stoddard Road and that was written testimony that we did receive since the Planning Commission hearing was included in your packet. So, in summary, that is the recommendation from the Planning Commission and I would be happy to answer any questions. Zaremba: Council, any questions? Mr. Rountree? Rountree: Mr: President, this goes back six years and I don't know how good my memory is, but as I recall that there was a stipulation with this annexation that there was to be some type of an amenity or feature on the corner of Overland and Stoddard. I see a landscape buffer and berm, which is consistent with our ordinance. But I don't see anything on the plat that indicates that. Nor have we seen anything with the development that's occurred out there that there is any indication of anything that's going happen there. What's the status of that and maybe the question is better asked to the applicant. Friedman: Thank you, Council Member Rountree. I think I can answer that question. You're correct, the development agreement required that there were two amenities to be provided on this site. It didn't -- one was to be provided at the corner, as you indicated. I am not certain where the other one was. If you look at the conditions of approval of the plat, it still says. that the property must abide by the conditions of the development agreement. I did contact the applicant and let them know that and ask them to convey that to their -- to their owner. I also indicated that we will be looking for that at the time of CZC for the future development of that third lot. Rountree: Thank you. Zaremba: Any other questions? Okay. And I note that ACRD apparently has considered the access that they are requesting on Stoddard and it meets their requirement, the distance from the intersection and all that sort of stuff. Friedman: Council President Zaremba, Council Members, in fact, I believe ACRD has approved that access -- the access that they have requested. Zaremba: Okay. Thank you. All right. Is the applicant here? State your name and address for the record. Welcome. Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 9 of 40 Bailey: Good evening. My name is Laren Bailey, representing LEI Engineers and Surveyors, on behalf of Freedom Works this evening. My address is 2040 South Eagle Road, Meridian, Idaho. 83642. Council, tonight, as Mr. Friedman indicated, I think the -- really, the only item is that access. As indicated, we have worked with ACHD and have met all of their requirements as far as spacing and access. They will require us to put in a raised six inch median to force that into aright-in, right-out. I think that will also alleviate the issue with lining up with the access across the street. Beyond that I did bring some examples of some other intersections around Meridian that have similar access and similar spacing from the intersection. I can go into that in more detail if you would like or I can just stand for questions. Zaremba: Council, any questions? Rountree: I have none. Hoaglun: Mr. President? Just a quick question. The only reason for that right-in, right- out access is that way you don't have to turn right -- if you want to go to -- up to Victory or that way, you can just exit that way, as opposed to going out to Overland and, then, right on Stoddard. And also the ability to turn left at the light, than to make the right; is that -- Bailey: Correct. I think -- I think more importantly, it's just the safety aspect of using the light, so you're not turning -- if you are headed eastbound you're not turning across traffic on Overland to get into the site. I think it makes it flow better and from a traffic safety standpoint I think it's a better situation. Hoaglun: Yeah. Thank you. Bailey: Okay. Zaremba: All right. Thank you. Bailey: Okay. Thanks. Zaremba: This is a public hearing. I don't have anybody signed up to testify, but you're certainly welcome to and this would be the time, if anybody has any other comments to add. Seeing none, any further comments from staff? Friedman: No. Zaremba: Okay. Council, discussion? Motion? Rountree: Mr. President? Zaremba: Mr. Rountree. Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 10 of 40 Rountree: I move that we close the public hearing on Item 7-A. Bird: Second. Zaremba: We have a motion and a second to close the public hearing. All in favor say aye. Any opposed? Motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Rountree: Mr. President, I move that we approve PFP 10-002 for Freedom Works Subdivision. Bird: Second. Zaremba: And are you -- Rountree: With the access -- Zaremba: Specified with the access -- right-in, right-out access. Bird: Second agrees. Zaremba: Thank you. We have a motion and second. Madam Clerk. Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea. Zaremba: All ayes. Motion carries. Thank you very much. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. B. Public Hearing TE 10-016 Trilogy Subdivision by Conger Management Group Located 4325 W. Chinden Boulevard: Request for Approval of an 18 month Time Extension to Obtain the City Engineer's Signature on the First Final Plat Continued to July 6, 2010 Zaremba: Next item on our agenda is TE 10-016 and there has been a request to continue that to July 6th. Bird: Mr. President, will you open it and, then, we will continue it? I thought I was opening it already. Yeah. I intend to open that one. Public hearing for TE 10-016 is open. Bird: Mr. President? Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 11 of 40 Zaremba: Mr. Bird. Bird: I move that we continue TE 10-016 to July 6th, 2010. Rountree: Second. Zaremba: We have a motion and a second. All in favor say aye. Any opposed? Motion carries unanimously. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. C. Open Public Hearing and Comment Period Regarding the Draft 2010 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Action Plan Zaremba: Item C is to open the public hearing and comment period on the action plan and I believe that would be staff. Mr. Ellsworth. Ellsworth: Thank you, Council President, Members of the Council. As City Council is aware, one of the requirements of the city in securing its annual CDBG entitlement each year is to adopt and forward to HUD for review an annual action plan that outlines the different goals, objectives, and action items the city will pursue with that program over the course of the following program year. So, over the last couple of weeks staff has dived in and drafted a plan based in part on public input received during apre-draft public meeting conducted on May 26th. We were also before City Council June 8th to -- to receive some direction as to what City Council's priorities are. So, to cut to the chase on the action plan staff drafted, the activities on the screen there, the ones proposed for use of next year's funds, 20 percent of the allocation of 274,368 dollars is proposed toward administration, which in addition to staff time managing the day-to-day activities of the program will be devoted to an update of the city's consolidated plan, which is a five year plan that will, basically, set the direction of the program for the -- as I said, next five years. In addition, public facilities project was generally the second top priority identified by City Council as one that the city invested some resources in already to date. That is to construct Five Mile Creek pathway at segment H-1 as identified in the city's plan and improve the creek between Pine and Fairview to the tune of 120,000 dollars. Now, we don't have the exact cost estimates in just yet and we are not one hundred percent sure if that's going to cover the entire amount of construction, but based on the information that was available at the time of the draft we figured that was enough to at least get that project started, with the understanding that some additional funding maybe necessary in a future CDBG program year in order to complete that project. City Council also indicated support for continuing the partnership with the Meridian Food Bank. The maximum amount of funding for public service projects, which -- which is what the Food Bank would fall under, is 15 percent of the total award. So, I think the total would have been 41,000 and change, but we went ahead and proposed 40,000 dollars, which was very close to that 15 percent mark for the Food Bank. In addition, affordable housing is one that the Department of Housing and Urban Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 12 of 40 development identifies as top priority and there is an expectation with the rate some of our activities into the overall framework as established by HUD. So, home ownership assistance is -- is identified for the use of 60,000 dollars or 22 percent of the total award and this year's staff proposes splitting that funding between two separate sub-recipients, the first of which is Ada County Housing Authority to continue the partnerships that the city has enjoyed with them for the last two program years and in addition to award a 20,000 dollar grant to neighborhood housing services to provide similar assistance, the main difference between the two being that Ada County Housing Authority selects eligible home buyers, low, low moderate income home buyers from the Section 8 housing choice voucher program, whereas neighborhood housing service will open up those opportunities to folks who are not currently enrolled in that program. So, we thought it was a great way to build a new partnership with another very solid sub- recipient organization and also to reach a different component of the LMI populations here in Meridian. So, on your screen now is a timeline for actions moving forward toward adoption and submittal to HUD of the 2010 CDBG action plan. The items in gray have, obviously, already occurred per that pre-draft public meeting on May 26th, followed by June 8th, which was the City Council prioritization direction to staff. Staff, then, drafted the action plan. Right now we just presented the draft. The two next items in yellow there are the actions before you this evening. The first is to open a public hearing and received preliminary testimony on the draft, which was released for public review last Friday. And also to open a public comment period, which is our citizen participating plan in compliance with federal regulations mandates at least a 30 day public comment period. We are shooting for the next Council date after that 30 days is closed, which ends August 3rd, to close the public hearings, consider input received during the public hearings and comment periods and two take action on the plan, which would allow staff enough time to go ahead and forward that adopted plan to HUD in order to meet our deadline in the middle of August. So, with that I'll stand for any questions. Zaremba: All right. Thank you. Let's see. If people wish to read the document and comment, it's available on the city's website; is that correct? Ellsworth: President, Members of the Council, that is correct. The city planning department website has a link to community development. It's listed under plan documents on that page. If you have any trouble tracking it down, please, feel free to contact me at the Meridian planning department and we can point you in the right direction. Printed copies of the draft are also available for public review at the city clerk's office, at the Meridian senior center, and also at the Meridian public library up on Fairview. Zaremba: Great. Thank you. I know we have had discussion before. On the housing assistance did we get any closure on whether that will be given within Meridian or is that just given anywhere in the county that HUD and the neighborhood housing authority work? Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 13 of 40 Ellsworth: Council President Zaremba, Members of Council that has come up in the past. We have not formalized in any sub-recipient agreements, but it is expected to purchase a home within Meridian city limits, but the unspoken policy in all the homes purchased to date have been within Meridian city limits. It's a great idea for us to include that in the sub-recipient agreements for this next round of funding. But, as I mentioned, it hasn't come up and informally with the housing authority that's why all purchased to date are within Meridian city limits and that's something that we can formalize, like I said, with the sub-recipient agreements go around. Zaremba: Great. Thank you. Council, any other questions? Bird: I have none. Rountree: I have none. Zaremba: Okay. The action is to open the comment period. It is officially open and comments are welcome until August 3rd. Next item on the agenda is -- I'm sorry? Any further comment? Ellsworth: Mr. President, typically at the intro hearing it's also the second action is to open a public hearing, as well as the public comment period. Zaremba: Yes. Ellsworth: So, it's kind of a matter or process there. Zaremba: Okay. That is -- Ellsworth: Thank you. Zaremba: That is what we are doing. Ellsworth: Oh, I'm sorry. Zaremba: Okay. I don't think we need to do anything else. Rountree: There might be testimony. Zaremba: Uh? Rountree: There might be testimony. Zaremba: Oh. Well, actually, you're right, since it is an open public hearing, would anybody care to testify now? You're welcome to send your comments in several different ways, but if you wish to speak we'd love to have you. Please come forward and start with your name and address, please. Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 14 of 40 Rodriquez: My name is Lupe Rodriquez, I'm with the Neighborhood Housing Services. We are located at 1401 Shoreline Drive, Boise, Idaho. And I'm here just to let you know Neighborhood Housing Services likes the draft that's been proposed with no changes. and also just to let you know in 2009 Neighborhood Housing Services assisted 40 families in obtaining home ownership, with an average area median income of about 58 percent. At over 40 families, 17 were at or below 50 percent of the area median income. Four of those families obtained a home here in Meridian. The 40 families utilized federal and local resources in leveraging homeownership assistance. Based on changes it has become more difficult for low moderate income borrowers to obtain mortgage loans, because of a decrease in state and federal and local funding sources. The federal budget grant fund leverage, with other state, federal, and local funding sources will increase approvals for low moderate income borrowers on obtaining home ownership. Thank you. Zaremba: Thank you. Council, any questions? Rountree: Mr. President? Zaremba: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: What's the leverage ratio or -- I suspect it varies, but what does it average? Rodriquez: The usual leverage 20 percent. Rountree: Okay. Thank you. Rodriquez: You're welcome. Zaremba: Thank you. Anybody else care to testify? All right. Thank you. The comment period is officially open and will continue until August 3rd. I guess that's -- now we are ready to conclude that. Okay. Thank you. D. VAC 10-004 Gramercy Subdivision No. 1 by Gramercy, LLC Located at Southside of Overland Road, East of Wells Avenue: Request for Vacation of the 20' x 20' Public Domestic Water and Sewer Easement Platted on Lots 1 and 2, Block 2 Zaremba: Next item on the agenda, Item D, is VAC 10-004. With a request to vacate and renotice to July 27th. Rountree: Mr. President? Zaremba: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: I move that we vacate Item 7-D, VAC 10-004.

Budget Amendment for State of the City Budget for a Not to Exceed Amount of $3,570.00 4. Budget Amendment for Meridian Arts Commission for a Not to Exceed Amount of $4,500.00 5. Budget Amendment for Mayor's Youth Advisory Council for a Not to Exceed Amount of $6,060.00 Zaremba: We are onto Item 8. Department Reports. And we will begin with the Planning Department, short comment by Mr. Friedman. Friedman: Thank you, President Zaremba, Members of the Council. I have a rather bitter sweet report. I regret to inform you that Matt will be leaving his employment with the city. He's taken another position. Matt's worked for the city for about four and a half years. He's been a valuable employee. He's carried a lot of heavy water on a lot of different projects and has become a master of many things and we will certainly miss him. We are also a little bit torqued off at him, but change happens, and we wish him all the best. The other news is that in addition to him embarking on a new job, he's embarking on another career, he's a new father of a baby girl and so we wish him well on both of his endeavors, so that's the report. Zaremba: Congratulations on the baby girl and we will miss you. That's sad. We have depended on you for many important things. Zaremba: Wish you well in your next endeavor. Ellsworth: Thank you. Yeah. It's been a great experience and I appreciate the opportunity. So, thank you guys. Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 16 of 40 Bird: Thank you, Matt. Rountree: Mr. President? Zaremba: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: I just want to take a moment to express my appreciation for Matt's activity in the planning department. He's been invaluable with land use planning aspects and some of the activities that have gone on there in the past three and a half, four years. He took on the area, the assignment of transportation planning and brought us from doing essentially nothing to being not necessarily on the leading edge, but the cutting edge of transportation knowledge to the Council in planning activities with ACHD and in the citizen advisory groups and he's been key to developing our grant plans and grant administration and for that the community owes him a great deal. I haven't added it up, but it's probably several million dollars that has come to the community with those activities that we would not have had otherwise and it's neat that you got to celebrate your first Father's Day here recently and congratulations there as well. Wish you the best. I'm not sure that knowing where you're going -- it's going to be a challenge and -- but, remember, you always have a home here. Ellsworth: Thank you for those kind words. I appreciate that. Zaremba: I would add that the list of things you have accomplished would be long, but I also know you have been very valuable to the Parks and Recreation Department and commission and helped them with a lot of things as well. So, you will be missed by a lot of people on a lot of fronts. Hoaglun: Mr. President. I just want to say publicly, Matt, thank you for everything that you have done. You have done a great job. You will be missed. I can see why Pete said a little torqued, because, yeah, you know, we kind of are, you know, but we understand great opportunities and we just wish you well and do appreciate everything you have done. Thanks. Ellsworth: Thank you. Zaremba: Thank you, Matt. All right. Next will be the Mayor's office. Begin with our economic development update. Brenda, welcome. Sherwood: Good evening. Okay. Council President, Members of the Council, I wanted to start out this evening, first of all, by just saying thank you for this opportunity. It's been an exciting 14 weeks. We have a lot of projects in the pipeline and I only anticipate exciting things to come in the next few months. I wanted to just kind of give you an update of some of the activities that I have been working on since I started. Like any economic development professional, I started out, of course, looking at our resources. I began laying the foundation for my strategic plan. I am in the strategic Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 17 of 40 planning process. We have some great ideas. But at this point our partners and some of the projects are in that mode of confirmation and, then, of course, looking at funding opportunities. So, we have decided that in August we will roll out the strategic plan for the Council, so that they can give approval to that. So, my first few months I spent a great deal of my time aligning my partners and resources and there is a few people -- or a few that I would like to -- there we go -- just kind of point out. These are the partnerships that have been very vital to my acclamation here in Meridian and I'd like to start with the Idaho Department of Commerce. They have been just phenomenal and we have been looking at ways to kind of put together some of the plug and play. When we have a company that comes into the valley and into Meridian being able to provide them with an opportunity of all the resources that are available. So, we have actually -- they took something that I had in Chicago from the Department of Commerce, we went through it, changed things so that we could align with the incentives, so that I was familiar all of them, created a database and a spreadsheet so that when companies come in I can actually crunch the numbers based on how much investment and jobs that they would be creating. So, that's been vital and it's a great tool. Another thing that we have done is created a wonderful portfolio for Meridian for when companies do come in, when they send out the site requests looking for space available for companies and I know that because of that effort we have taken a lot of that burden off of planning and it's really, like I said, created sort of a plug and play when those opportunities arrive. Also, we -- there are actually -- we have been looking at different programming and some of the things that we have available, so, believe it or not, the Department of Commerce has been calling me to let me know what incentives are available and what we can use here in Meridian. So, they have been a great partner. Idaho Department of Labor, obviously -- you know, I came in with this dichotomy of here we are with probably about 25,000 people unemployed in the valley and, yet, I have corporations telling me that they don't have the talent to fulfill some of their engineering positions, things of that nature. So, what I did was started working with the Idaho Department of Labor and sort of cataloging our industries, cataloging our talent, so that when we do put forth our strategic plan we are able to identify what would really fit. The developers -- I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Councilman Bird for doing some of those introductions. We have a great relationship with the developers. We have created a database of the available properties. We also have sort of a database of people to contact when those requests come in. So, when a company calls me for a piece of property that they are looking for, usually that turnaround time is about 24 hours. So, we have moved forward with that. Business leaders have been phenomenal. We are right now identifying an economic development advisory council for me. Through that we are looking at putting together ambassadors of the business community, but also looking for mentorship programs that we can provide to some of our service companies. The FCA -- we are also putting together a portfolio of all the loan programs, which has been vital. A lot of the companies that I have met with have talked about some of the issues that they have had with financing and, then, of course, Idaho National Lab, we have been working with them for new procurement opportunities for companies, so that they could expand their markets. I know there is a few things -- why am I having problems with this. There is a few things that you're all aware of that I kind of wanted to update you on, because I'm sure you're kind of curious what's going on. The Boise Valley Economic Partnership, Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 18 of 40 there is an overall consensus that there is the need for a regional development corporation, so they are going to continue to move forward. They are going to replace their director within the next probably two months and I have been very active on the working group, so that we are making sure that we are represented. So, they have been highly responsive, they are really looking at overcoming some of those gaps in communication and I see great things coming out of that in the future. The core is currently -- we are working on a membership drive and that has been very positive. We are also looking at companies that would add to the core and in creating a strategic plan for marketing. And, then, in addition, the BVEP familiarization program is going to be this week, so they are coming in Thursday and Friday. We are going to be meeting as a core at ISU, so if anyone is interested in joining us, it would be nice to have you. I will be presenting, along with Earl Sullivan. And, then, the Chinese delegation, as you know, it was definitely a success. We actually followed up with our development projects. We are looking for new opportunities and we actually have -- one of the Chinese delegates -- one of the investors has actually contacted us, he would be coming back in September. So, the Idaho Technology Council and I have been identifying additional projects that could be viable. And, then, I also wanted to bring up the Idaho Technology Council. If you're not familiar with it, that is the new Council with Jay Larsen. Jay Larsen and I have been working very closely to kind of highlight some of the advanced technologies here in Meridian, but also looking at opportunities and also for potential investors with the training delegation that's come back. And, then, just wanted to -- moving forward. Just kind of talk to you about some of the things that are coming up. My strategic plan, as I mentioned to you, is planning to be rolled, guess, in August. We are just working on the final approvals, kind of aligning our partners in identifying funding. We are currently working with the Mexican consulate for an export process to be held in August. The Idaho Department of Commerce is also looking at opportunities in Mexico for export, business exchange, other business opportunities. At EB5 they are also utilizing them in Mexico, so we are kind of going to create this opportunity for companies to learn how to do this in Mexico. The regional center, we are still -- these are ongoing opportunities that we continue to look at. I think really right now what we are still pushing is looking at creating a TA in Meridian, so that we can have that 500,000 dollar investment and, then, also we are also looking at what partners or what organization would be best to host the EB5. And, then, of course, companies looking to move to Meridian, I wanted to kind of end things on an up note. We are getting a lot of calls. I currently have a corporate headquarters that is looking in Meridian. It would be about 200 jobs in the next year. I have several companies coming in that would like to do the sports arena, so those are kind of exciting for our entertainment area down in the downtown area and, then, I also have a manufacturing company. I have two very large expansions that would be about 300 jobs within probably the next year. Unfortunately, as you know, I can't really say at this point, but they are definitely -- the two expansions are pretty much in the final stages. So, there is exciting things happening, working in a lot of interest, I'm getting a lot of calls, so I really see -- and a lot of property is changing hands, so I see it as a positive piece of economic development, so at this time if you have any questions I would like to -- Zaremba: Thank you. Council? Mr. Rountree. Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 19 of 40 Sherwood: Sure. Rountree: Explain for me the core membership that you mentioned. Sherwood: Because it's a 501(c) (6), they are actually looking for, basically, membership. It will be both public and private membership. And right now what they are doing is putting together those benefits and, obviously, the obvious benefits of having that synergy with other companies that are within the core, but also looking at programming that would be a benefit as well. But a lot of the project companies would be members of the core. Rountree: And when you mentioned partners, along with that, shortly thereafter when you were talking about the -- some of the folks on your list, you talked about Department of Labor and the shortage of skills. I know you have been working with the University, CWI, and BSU, as well as TVCC and what's -- is there anything exciting going on there? Are we looking at maybe helping direct them in job skills that we need for the things you're seeing come down? Sherwood: Absolutely. Council Rountree, Members of the Council, actually, what have done is been facilitating business retention and expansion efforts between myself, Boise and Nampa, so that we can actually pull that data together and several of those universities are actually willing to kind of keep track of that data, find out what the needs are and what the deficiencies are in the training and the education. So, they have been, you know, highly active in that and will continue and that was BSU and, then, the new college that's coming in as well. Rountree: Thank you. Zaremba: I know the technology Council has identified the need to education more technology enabled people, so I know that's something that's been on a number of fronts. Cool. Sherwood: President Zaremba and Members of the Council, one of the things that we looked at is there is that gap for technology companies and some of the companies -- some of the people -- the talent that comes out of the universities oftentimes leave the area and primarily it's because of the pay grade. So, that's one of the things that we have been talking to with some of the companies is about, you know, making sure that they are paying that talent, so that we can keep them here. So, that's been a big void. Hoaglun: Mr. President? Zaremba: Mr. Hoaglun. Hoaglun: Question, Brenda. Since you have been on the job now three and a half months, you still have the fresh look of Meridian, you know, coming from a different Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 20 of 40 location, you know, from the 30,000 foot level what do you see as the pluses and minuses of this community? Just kind of your impressions on areas that we need to build on? Probably education to create talent, especially in the high tech area, but kind of what are some of the things that stand on both ends of the spectrum? Sherwood: Councilman Hoaglun, Members of the Council, actually, right now we are looking at doing some branding, some marketing, and one of the things that I think is highly beneficial to Meridian is we are kind of branding at the heart of the valley and the heart of the pacific northwest. Our location is by far one of the most positive aspects of it, but not only that, you know, transportation, infrastructure, rail -- you know, the connector, all of these things play a viable part for companies that are looking from out of state and so we are really playing that up quite a bit, because I think when I have talked to my site selectors in Chicago, you know, those are the things that they are looking for is accessing those markets. So, I think it's a big plus. As far as the negatives, you know, we are trying desperately to -- well, not desperately, but we are pulling together all the colleges and looking at those gaps. I have had at least four companies come in and tell me that they'd love to move to Meridian. Unfortunately, they can't find the talent. So, we need to really align our education with our workforce and there is a lot of programs that we are kind of looking at and you will see some of those in my strategic planning, but -- and, then, of course, just getting everyone to the table, so that we can do this all together and really look at how we can change that. Hoaglun: Thank you. Sherwood: Sure. Rountree: Mr. President? Zaremba: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: Brenda, what were the date, time, and location for the core meeting for Friday? Sherwood: It's this Friday at 1:30 and it's at ISU. Rountree: Thank you. Sherwood: Sure. Zaremba: That was going to be my next question. Mr. Bird. Bird: Brenda, I -- this is a fantastic economic report, probably the finest or first one we have really had that has had some substance to it. I appreciate what you have done in your short time. You are truly a benefit to the city in your short time and have done a great job, in my opinion, and it's just nice to hear the facts and figures and not being let down some prim rose lane like we have been for years. Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 21 of 40 Sherwood: Councilman Bird, Members of the Council, thank you so much for that comment. I'm actually -- like I said, I spent a lot of time there and the reason I do is because there are so many exciting things in the pipeline. So, I know that there is a lot to come from Meridian. Bird: Thank you. Zaremba: And we are happy to have you in charge of it. Cool. Sherwood: Thank you. Zaremba: Thank you. Sherwood: Thank you very very much. Zaremba: All right. The next four items are budget amendments through that Mayor's office and as I have -- have interpreted these, the amounts of money -- oh, Robert will explain, but I think what we are doing is spending money that has been donated to the city. Simison: That is correct. That's pretty much the premise for all four of these budget amendments. I will -- if you want, I can walk through them all at once very briefly or take them individually, whatever your preference is, but -- Zaremba: Anybody need a thorough explanation? Bird: Mr. President? Zaremba: Mr. Bird. Bird: Just one -- no, I don't need a thorough explanation, but I would like to see when we do stuff like this, I'd like to see a P&L on the project that brought this extra money in, how we derived at that extra money, not just the figure set out there and I know it's there, but I think it should be part of the budget -- Simison: Okay. Bird: -- amendment. You know, have a P&L on each deal. But we don't need to on this, because -- Zaremba: And certainly in of that process is conveying our thanks to whoever collected the money. Bird: You better believe it. Meridian City Council June 22,2010 Page 22 of 40 Simison: Yeah. And just going very briefly through them, I can tell you the first for Meridian Business Day, that's been funds raised primarily by Brandon Wright with Ultra Clean, who has been leading the Meridian Business Day team. He's been the one that's really brought that in. I couldn't tell you who all those sponsors are for that event, but they had their first planning meeting for the next Meridian Business Day, which they decided was going to be in September of this year. As of right now all the money has been collected for that event. We have -- we are going to be asking them to try to find another way to fund these in the future, so it's not coming through the city, but we will have that discussion with them as we move -- move forward and we will ask them not to collect any fees that they bring to the city this year. This will, hopefully, wrap them out from the city's umbrella. But we will be working with them on that. So, that would be the first one. The second one to save the city a similar practice where, again, the funds have all been raised for this, the expenses have been accounted for the State of the City, the scholarships have been accounted for and this is extra funds. I know some of it will be going towards things such as challenge coins for the police and fire public safety academy. They'd like to give those out to some of the participants and other projects like that. I imagine there will probably be some stuff done with the Chinese delegation and perhaps some of the artwork that was left, but those -- those will be -- all that has yet to be decided. The Mayor's Youth Advisory Council -- or I'm sorry. Meridian Arts Commission -- it's noted they are taking on the Concerts on Broadway series, which the first one was just held this last week. A large portion of these funds have already been -- come in will be coming in or -- and so these funds, again, are funds that they have raised to help put on this event. And, then, the last one is MYAC budget amendment, which is the funds, basically, that they have raised for their dinner. This allows the extra spending authority for that -- those funds to be expended to the group that that money was raised for. And with that I will stand for any questions. Zaremba: Thank you. Council, any questions? Rountree: I have none. Zaremba: All right. I would entertain a motion to approve all four, unless somebody wants to do them individually. Bird: Mr. President? Zaremba: Mr. Bird. Bird: I would move that we approve the budget amendment for the Mayor's office, Meridian Business Day number four, not to exceed 6,000. The State of the City budget, not to exceed 3,570 dollars. Meridian Arts Commission not to exceed 4,500 dollars. And the Mayor's Youth Advisory Council not to exceed 6,060 dollars. Rountree: Second. Zaremba: We have a motion and second. Madam Clerk, please. Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 23 of 40 Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea. Zaremba: All Ayes. Motion carries. Thank you. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. B. Legal Department: Sewer and Service Agreement Between the City of Meridian and Coleman Homes, LLC. Zaremba: Item B is a short comment from the Legal Department. Nary: Mr. President, Members of the Council, this is a sewer service agreement between the city and Coleman Homes. We had put it on this portion of your agenda in case it hadn't come back yet and we could discuss it or hadn't been signed. It has been signed now and there is no other further discussion. You can move to approve it if you wish. Zaremba: Okay. Gentleman? Mr. Bird. Bird: I move that we approve the sewer and service agreement between the City of Meridian and Coleman Homes, LLC. Rountree: Second. Zaremba: We have a motion and a second. Madam Clerk. Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea. Zaremba: All ayes. Motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. C. Joint Department Report: Development Services and Legal Department -Discussion with Council Regarding the Time Extension Conditions for Cavanaugh Ridge Zaremba: C is a joint report, Development Services and Legal Department. Nary: Thank you. I can start that off, Mr. President, Members of the Council. This is a discussion regarding the time extension -- originally there were some conditions placed on the Cavanaugh Subdivision as part of their request for time extension. You heard that -- was it 60 days ago? Was it 60 days? And part of that -- if you recall the earlier discussion, there were some easements that were necessary for the city to be able to put the sewer pipe in along Victory Road. Because the property went into foreclose and there is a bankruptcy trustee and such, there was some concerns on the part of the Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 24 of 40 current property owners in giving the level of assurances that we normally require on these types of easements. We, basically, require that they -- that, essentially, indemnify and hold the city harmless and be able to defend, if necessary, those easements, if they are legitimate, and they had the right to grant them at the time and they had ownership and such. Because of their concern, we were willing to look at some -- some lesser language that maybe doesn't have the same force as before, if the Council was accepting of that. In evaluating it, both Mr. Baird and myself, and with the Development Services Department, really feel that the risk to the city is fairly small. These are areas -- where these easements are are right in the adjacent right of way and there are -- actually, Mr. Ward, a representative of the property owners is here tonight, too. We anticipate that as this property gets resolved and the issues and foreclosure in the bankruptcy courts get resolved, that the property is actually going to become part of the right of way. So, the risk to us that somehow another property would claim an interest, whether the current property owners didn't have actual right to do that, is pretty small. So, because of that and their concerns, we were willing to, basically, accept language that was less than our normal standard, but we don't believe, at least in our legal opinion, both mine and Mr. Baird's, that we put the city in any great risk by accepting that. But the direction was the Council -- the requirement was the Council's direction to them and so we wanted to bring that before you to get your approval before we consented to that. And Mr. Freckleton has, I guess, the Development Services piece of that as well. Freckleton: Thank you. Mr. President, Members of the Council, as Bill mentioned, this easement is across the frontage of the Cavanaugh property. It's an easement that is critical for us to complete what we call a gap in the Black Cat sewer trunk extension. We have been working with the developers for probably a year and a half to two years now on this project and, unfortunately, because of the economy and the situation with the property and DBSI's situation, we kind of fell flat there for awhile, but negotiations that we have had recently, we have gotten to this point and we feel it's a good solution. Discussions that I have had with Mr. Ward late this afternoon, they are in negotiations with the Ada County Highway District for the conveyance of the right of way -- the future right of way, which would be the ultimate build out for Victory Road. The sewer that we are talking does fall within that future right of way, so Mr. Ward is here tonight, if you have any questions of him, but we feel that -- that it's a good solution and just wanted to get your input on it. Zaremba: Thank you. Council? Mr. Rountree. Rountree: Let's move forward, as long as we have got willing parties. Zaremba: I guess my only question would be when you say this would eventually be part of the right of way, I assume you're talking about ACHD right of way? Freckleton: Yes. Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 25 of 40 Zaremba: There is more to that question. Are we comfortable that ACRD would not see any obstacle here? Nary: Mr. President, Members of the Council, we don't -- we don't believe there is any issues for ACHD for -- where the location of these services are I don't see any problem with that. It's pretty common with our other utilities, so -- Zaremba: Okay. Thank you. Freckleton: I might add a little bit to that. Zaremba: The desired action would be -- uh? Freckleton: I might be able to add just a little bit to that. The plans for the sewer -- a year and a half, two years ago, they were part of the overall development plan for Cavanaugh and so the overall development plan for Cavanaugh, the right of way, the curb, gutter, sidewalk location, everything has already ran through design review and been approved through both agencies, so -- Zaremba: Great. Freckleton: One other point I was going to make is that the 90 day time extension condition that was -- that was placed on Cavanaugh, that condition has been met. They did deliver signed easements to us yesterday. Yesterday was the deadline. So, we do have those and so it's just a matter of coming back for a formal adoption, I believe, or formal acceptance through the Council. Zaremba: All right. Thank you. Can we do that tonight or do we need a resolution? Nary: It's on here. You can -- the easements are on here for the Council to approve. Freckleton: Okay. I'm sorry. I thought we were just having discussion tonight. Nary: Yes. Zaremba: Okay. If there is no further discussion, Mr. Bird. Bird: Can we pass on this? Is that what we are doing? We don't have a resolution? Nary: You have the easements actually on here that can be signed, so you can approve them. Bird: Okay. Mr. President? Zaremba: Mr. Bird. Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 26 of 40 Bird: I move that we agree on the Development Service and Legal Department discussion of Council regarding the time extension conditions of Cavanaugh Ridge with the easement for utilities. Zaremba: Is there a second? Hoaglun: Second. Zaremba: Okay. We have a motion and a second, Madam Clerk. Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea. Zaremba: All ayes. Motion carries. Thank you. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Freckleton: Thank you. D. Reimbursement Agreement Regarding the Irrigation Pump Station for the Split Corridor Project Phase One Landscaping, Between Meridian Development Corporation and the City of Meridian Zaremba: Item D, reimbursement agreement regarding irrigation pump station. Nary: Mr. President, Members of the Council, Mr. Siddoway can probably speak to the specifics here, but you have an agreement -- a reimbursement agreement signed by the chairman of the MDC, the development corporation, and approved by them I believe last week and it's regarding the split corridor landscaping project and Mr. Siddoway could probably speak to the specifics. Zaremba: Is this the one that's previously been mentioned that's near Zamzow's? Siddoway: Yes sir. This is the split corridor phase one, which was constructed a couple of years of ago. As you may remember, it's currently connected to the city potable water and is in need of a pump station to deliver irrigation water. This agreement would allow us to move forward in helping MDC to get that constructed. The agreement would be such that MDC provides the city the plans, the city manages that construction project for them. As we learned through the Finance Department, if we are managing that project we cannot pass the invoices and have them pay them directly, we must pay them ourselves and, then, get reimbursed. So, this is a reimbursement agreement for up to 55,000 dollars, which is the spending authority that the MDC Board has allowed for this project. It's been signed, as Bill Nary mentioned, by MDC's chairman Larry Lipschults and is here for your consideration and approval tonight. Zaremba: Thank you. Council, any questions? Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 27 of 40 Rountree: I have none. Bird: Mr. President? Zaremba: Mr. Bird. Bird: Steve, who is responsible for getting the easement for the electrical, MDC or Meridian City? Siddoway: The city is moving forward with that, sir. The -- Elroy has a meeting scheduled with the dairy board next Wednesday on June 30th at their next available meeting. Bird: And everything is in place? We have nothing that's going to jump up and bite us? Siddoway: They will be updating that and the plans are to be back from MDC. We received an a-mail from Shaun Wardle today that he hopes to have us those plans for review tomorrow. Bird: So, we can go to bid -- we get the easement for the 30th, we can go to bid about the 6th; right? Siddoway: That's -- that's one option. If we want to have all the ducks in a row before going to bid. The other option is that we go to bid and we do not award the contract until we have that easement and I would seek your direction on how you prefer to proceed with that. Bird: I would like to have everything in line, get the thing done, so we don't get bit in you know where. That's my preference. I don't know about the other councilmen. Rountree: I'm okay with the agreement, but I think the easement needs to be in place before we contract it -- or if it's not in place the contractor can start and, then, you start paying. Bird: That's right. Siddoway: We will get the easement before we send it out. Rountree: Yes. Siddoway: Not just award it. We will do so. Zaremba: Okay. Do we need any -- Rountree: But you need action on the -- on the agreement? Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 28 of 40 Siddoway: We do need action on the agreement. It's tied to the upcoming budget amendment for the same amount. Rountree: Okay. Zaremba: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: Mr. President, I move that we approve Item 8 -- what is it here? Siddoway: D. Rountree: 8-D, reimbursement agreement regarding the irrigation pump for the split corridor. Hoaglun: Second. Zaremba: We have a motion and a second. Madam Clerk. Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea. Zaremba: All ayes. Motion carries. Thank you. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. E. Parks and Recreation Department 1. Budget Amendment for Forestry Stimulus Grant for a Not to Exceed Amount of $44,500.00 2. Budget Amendment for Stn Street Park Funds Transfer to Borup Dog Park for a Not to Exceed Amount of $52,800.00 3. Budget Amendment for Split Corridor Pump Station for a Not to Exceed Amount of $55,000.00 Zaremba: Next item on the agenda is Mr. Siddoway as well. Siddoway: Thank you, Mr. President. Three budget amendments this evening for your consideration. The first one is we have applied for and received a forestry stimulus grant, 44,500 dollars. The four projects that we would intend to spend those funds on is in the budget amendment form and this amendment would give us the spending authorization to spend that grant. The second item is -- we received a budget enhancement for this current fiscal year for the 8th Park pathway and we were also successful in getting CDBG grant funds for the same project. Therefore, we would like Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 29 of 40 to take those funds and transfer them to the Borup property to use as some initial seed money toward the dog park that is proposed out there. That would be a budget transfer. And, then, the third item is related to the agreement that was just approved for a not to exceed amount of 55,000 dollars for the split corridor pump station, authorizing us to spend the funds and, then, get reimbursed from the MDC on those and I will stand for any questions. Zaremba: Gentlemen, any questions? Mr. Rountree. Rountree: Steve, I have question and concerns about your second one, the item E-2. don't see on our recently delivered CIP that there is anything proposed for Borup Park until 2013. My suggestion is if we have 52,000 dollars extra this year, we do -- maybe we apply that to something that's not funded yet in 2012 or how about putting that aside and using that to help do the contribution we have to make as it relates to the collection of impact fees. I don't think it's consistent with the CIP and final comments on that is it was my understanding when we talked about this particular issue that a good share of that effort was going to be volunteer and that doesn't seem to come through with this item. Siddoway: Yes, sir. A great portion of that project is intended to be through the volunteers. They have submitted for a grant themselves for up to 500,000 dollars. The CIP for the Borup property, as you mentioned, does show it in 2013. It is the hope of the dog park task force, though, to move forward with the dog park portion of development of that property in advance of the full development of that -- of that park. So, the intent was to have those funds available for the dog park use that would go in prior to the 2013 improvements of the full park. But if -- I will -- Hoaglun: Mr. President, I just wanted to -- Zaremba: Mr. Hoaglun. Hoaglun: If I recall in the Parks and Recs Commission, as they are working on their priority projects upcoming, I think the dog park has moved on almost to the number one spot, if my recollection serves me, but I could be wrong on that. It's one of the top two or three. Siddoway: Yeah. It is -- Hoaglun: It's not number one. Siddoway: It is -- they set five priorities for the year for the overall commission. This is one of those. They are very engaged with the dog park task force. They met here last night and talked with their financing committee and they are working on a funding strategy and, you know, we don't have -- I don't have a specific plan for you for those funds right now. They could be used for the irrigation system, they could be used to get the initial green up done and require them to do all of the improvements, the fencing, Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 30 of 40 the pathway, those kinds of things. But it is a very high priority for the commission and we have an active dog park task force and that's why I'm here to propose the transfer. Bird: Mr. President? Zaremba: Mr. Bird. Bird: Steve, refresh me, what's this fifty-two eight going to get for us? Are we going to start putting a fence up or greening or -- because we don't have water or sewer or anything out there yet, which to me a dog park you really don't need it to just have dogs running inside of a fence. Well, I don't want to -- you know, make sure we have adequate dog facilities and stuff, I'm like Council Rountree, I think there is some other priorities within our park system that has been sitting around longer than this and if we are -- I can't see where 52,800, if we are just going to fence in an area out there, you don't even really have to green it up. I mean, you know, dogs -- dogs don't need to run on grass. Siddoway: The 52,800 would not construct the dog park. The proposed improvements as envisioned and presented to the Council about a month ago were about 300,000 dollars worth of improvements. So, this is, you know, a fraction of that cost and I would expect that this would probably be carried forward until the point that they have the funds to bring to the table themselves and move this forward in a significant way. Bird: Follow up, Mr. President? Zaremba: Mr. Bird. Bird: Okay. If it's going to be brought forward and not going to be used at this time, there is surely something else there in our park system, as even Councilman Rountree said, the impact fees or anything that -- because you're talking three, four thousand, you're not even CIP until 2013, partnership -- when there was a percentage to us, it was, basically, presented that they would do the fundraising and stuff and hoping that we would be able to, through the police department, to give -- to keep that budget of about 50,000 a year that we do for dogs now, you know, for what Brenda does out there, so -- or is this -- is this going for planning? I know you got a deal going with Parametrics. Is this what this is going to be used for, the layout, or -- Siddoway: No. The concept plan was budgeted and approved two or three years ago and was -- it is currently underway. We, actually, have that public meeting set for June 30th. I believe you received an a-mail on that today. But that -- that project is funded separately from this. Bird: And, by the way, not to change the subject, but I appreciate the a-mails I get from your -- from Rachael. She does a nice job. Thank you. Siddoway: I will pass that on. Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 31 of 40 Hoaglun: Mr. President? Zaremba: Mr. Hoaglun. Hoaglun: Just to comment further on this, I guess sitting through the meetings in the parks commission and whatnot and the dog park task force and different things, the adequacy of our current location we know is limited and how long we are going to be able to be there -- this was a way that the director saw of starting to get seed money to encourage their push for outside funding, private funding for this dog park. It would show our commitment to a new dog park, what that final view would look like -- I think there is potential at this location, whether or not it's ultimately there, that may change, but this would be the seed money to put into the pot to say, okay, the city knows there is a need, we are committed to that, and off you go to see if you can -- you can find the money to make this a reality. So, it likely would have to be carried forward, but, you know, in the event that there are other priorities, but knowing that the parks commission is looking at this as one of the top priorities and that's why it's here before you in this type of an amendment. Zaremba: I would add that in the citywide survey that was done earlier, that the dog park was very high on the list for the citizens as well, which is why we even attempted the -- to share the police facility and I tend to feel that it's important to show the dog park people that we are committed to finding a solution. So, I would be in favor of this amendment. Siddoway: Mr. President, it did show up very high in the public survey, as you mentioned. It was the impetus for partnering with the police department and opening the K-9 facility as a dog park. As we know, the use has been more than we anticipated and it's, you know, wearing down and is too small for the demand and so our goal is to try and provide impetus to the dog park task force fundraising efforts and see if we can get this at another site. A larger site. Zaremba: Just a question. In the discussion of the dog park task force, are they considering -- how should I say? Closing or unusing the police dog training facility. Would we move out of that? Siddoway: That group would very much like to have it back open and available seven days a week, but that's not going happen, but -- Zaremba: Are going to have two facilities or -- I'm sure they'd like that. Siddoway: Yes, that is the vision, that if we can get a new and larger facility that we could give that one back to just be the K-9 facility and, then, open the dog park. Zaremba: Good. Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 32 of 40 Hoaglun: Mr. President? Zaremba: Mr. Hoaglun. Hoaglun: I'm going to make some motions here. I'm going to do them as separate -- separate items, if you don't mind. Zaremba: Thank you. Hoaglun: I would move under 8-E that the Parks and Recreation Department budget amendment for Forestry Stimulus Grant for a not to exceed amount of 44,500 dollars be approved. Rountree: Second. Zaremba: We have a motion and a second. Madam Clerk. Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea. Zaremba: That motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Hoaglun: Mr. President? Zaremba: Mr. Hoaglun. Hoaglun: Yes. Under Item 8-E-2, I move approval of the budget amendment for the 8th Street Park Fund transfer to Borup dog park for a not to exceed amount of 52,800 dollars. Zaremba: We have a motion. Is there a second? Am I allowed to second? Rountree: Uh-huh. Bird: You can second. Zaremba: Okay. I didn't know whether Robert's Rules of Order would allow it. I would second it. So, we do have a motion and a second. And Madam Clerk? Rountree: Mr. President, discussion. The point I made about the capital improvements plan, I think this sets a minor precedence in that a department came about a savings, which is a good thing. Now we have to find a place to spend it. They went through a very diligent process to identify capital improvements for the next 15 years. This project, nor any project, if Borup park isn't included until 2013. I think this money can be better spent at another location within our existing parks as it relates to operation and Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 33 of 40 maintenance and facilities improvement, as opposed to be set aside somewhere or to be a demonstration for a partnership that has been spoken of, but there has been no effort that I have seen anywhere to bring that two any kind of fruition. So, I think it sets a bad precedent. I don't care if it was -- any of these departments, if we are going to adopt this thing, we ought to use it. Otherwise, we ought to make a note to our financial director, Mrs. Kilchenmann, and say it was a very nice effort, but when somebody comes up with some extra money and they want to make a capital improvement, they are going to do a budget amendment and not even look at this thing. I'm sorry. That's where I am. I think it's important, the effort that they went through to get this and, you know, this was known about at some point in time, it could have been added to this. Anyway, that's my point. I think we are setting a precedent if we approve this. Zaremba: That's a very valid point and overall I agree with the point that you are making. I feel the exception in this case would be at the time that we were doing the CIP we didn't understand the depth of the need for the dog park, even though people were telling us, we didn't have it in place, so we didn't have it operating, we didn't have it being overwhelmed, and while I absolutely agree with you in principal, I do think this may be an exception and I certainly would not want to establish it as a precedent or could be telling department heads or the finance department you can make it up as you go along. I think we do need to stick with the CIPs, but my feeling from last year when was the parks liaison was that the dog park is almost an emergency at this point. Hoaglun: Mr. President, just to comment. Zaremba: Mr. Hoaglun. Hoaglun: Yeah. Councilman Rountree makes a good point and we do have a long range plan that we are -- we are trying to implement when it comes to capital projects and being the first one out of the box where we might do things differently, makes -- makes it tough and I think it's going to be coming to departments now with the plans that are in place to figure out when something comes up, how do you -- how do you move projects around and I'm not sure how to do that myself, but I think this might be the one we learn on, but I think it's worth moving forward and using it as the example for other departments to say, hey, you know, better take a close look at things when you have got a savings and where they are going to. So, that's something that we should definitely note. Bird: Mr. President? Zaremba: Mr. Bird. Bird: I agree with Charlie a hundred percent, but lalso -- I mean if we -- if we had something that this was going to right now, I could understand it more, but we are just going to set it in the budget. I don't -- I don't get -- I mean if we want to put a dog park out there, I can take this 52,800 and put you a dog park out there three times bigger than what we got. I mean you don't have to have the Taj Mahal for a dog park. Most Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 34 of 40 people take their dogs out to the desert and run them, you know, but to just set it aside for the next three years -- as I take it that's what we are going to do -- I don't see what point we are getting at. Because nobody wants to take care of dogs anymore than I do and I realize we need a dog park and, my goodness, we -- if we are going to get one -- and it was going to be a partnership. Well, I haven't seen any partnership come up, you know, and talk about partnerships, I'm getting tired of being partners when we put all the money up and they get all the fun. Siddoway: Mr. President and Councilman Bird, I agree and the -- there is a plan that the dog park task force has put together and a cost estimate for that plan and it was about 300,000 dollars as presented. And the onus is on them to do the vast majority of the fundraising and as was described, this was viewed as a portion of the needed funds and the city puts forward, you know, a certain amount and they have to come up with a larger amount in order to make it into a partnership, that this would say that this is a priority for the city and we want you to do this. Bird: Mr. President? Zaremba: Mr. Bird. Bird: Steve, I agree with you, but a partnership to me is we furnish the land, they build the facility, and, you know, we have -- dog maintenance or whatever you want to call it, of budget in the police department. I have no problems with continuing that and it's out there for a nice facility, that's fine. Siddoway: You mean the animal shelter? Bird: Because we all -- for the animal shelter. Because we all know that the one at the wastewater treatment is -- is not adequate today and, you know, in five, ten years it's definitely not going to be adequate. But that's money that we are going to budget every year I'm sure. That is -- to me I just -- I can't see setting this one -- when I know within your parks department you could use this money for something, .instead of setting this aside for three years. Zaremba: Okay. Mr. Hoaglun, further comment? Hoaglun: No. I was just going to say, Mr. President, that, you know, this is a little bit like as we plan for our fire station we know that a fire truck's coming, we have got to set some money aside and build up to that and if they come forward with -- with some funding for this dog park and, yes, we provide the land and it might be -- I have seen a couple different variations of that dog park, instead of the full seven acres was it, that long strip, Steve. I can't remember the exact acreage amount, but cutting that in half and doing it in phases and that was an option and that -- I think that's dictated -- predicated upon the funding sources and how that comes about. So, it was just seen as a way to -- to get that seed money and some money from the city to -- to go into a park for our citizens and -- but that's what we are looking at. Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 35 of 40 Bird: Mr. President? Let me ask you one question, Steve. Siddoway: Yes, sir. Bird: We are in dire need of some kind of enclosed dog park. It doesn't have to be the Taj Mahal, it just has to be an enclosed area. Right? Siddoway: Yes. Bird: We have got to get them away from the police station, from that facility, period. I could see us -- and it don't have to be temporary, because you got some kind of an idea of where that dog park is going to be. Siddoway: Out at the Borup property? Bird: Yeah. You could put permanent chain link up and, my goodness, afive -- four or five acre-park is quite a bit of square footage. You know, four acres is 170,000 square feet for dogs to run around in. A six foot chain link fence is all you need -- a few other facilities -- you know, a few other amenities, plant a couple of trees -- could you do that for the 52,800? Siddoway: Well, probably for close to that. I'd have to go back and look to be fair as to the actual cost for the -- for the fencing. But we do have those costs identified. The -- know when we were looking the last year potentially at doing this out at the Jabil site, you know, for 45,000 dollars, but one side is already fenced there, we were able to do the remaining fencing and some -- some basic improvements. The problem there is that we don't own the property, it will eventually go away, we are trying to find a permanent solution. So, this is the most likely permanent solution and, you know, if you wanted to see these funds spent on fencing or something like that, just to have them spent and not wait for the rest of this to come to fruition, we could look at doing something like that. Bird: I just think it would be better to -- for the taxpayers to see something -- to see something going down the road that -- you know, we don't know what the economy is going to be like. Siddoway: Correct. Rountree: In 2013 we might not five dollars to put toward this. And we have set a precedent by having a dog park. We have got to get -- we have got to get it away from the police station, as you said. It's been outgrown. It was outgrown six months after we open it. Siddoway: Correct. Yeah. Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 36 of 40 Bird: And -- I don't know. I -- this was a tough decision on my part. Siddoway: Mr. President -- Zaremba: If I'm understanding the thrust, to me it would be very comfortable to say the current old dog park is -- was a third of an acre. The people that are seeking a dog park -- if we could fence off three acres or four acres or whatever for 50,000 dollars, I would be comfortable saying, okay, the city's contribution is the land and the fence and we will do that fence now and it's up to the committee to add whatever amenities or entertainment -- I mean trees, park benches, grass, the committee has to come up with that. But I would be comfortable saying our contribution is the land and the fence and I would like to see that happen fairly quickly. Hoaglun: Mr. President, to comment, this land is still in the county and so we would have to go through that approval process. On the parking lot -- I don't know if they would let us go with gravel, they might, might not. There was discussion of having port- a-potties -- not for the dogs, but for the humans and maintaining those and, then, the fencing and getting the irrigation process up. So, I don't remember the final amount, but just the bare bones was definitely more than -- more than the 52,000. So, that's -- and I think that's what they were looking at was -- was this going to be -- see what type of fundraising they could do to bring it forward and say, okay, we have raised this amount, what can we partner with the city, provide the land and this little bit amount and let's see what we can do and go from there. So, I don't remember what that total was, that's what we are looking at with moving these funds to that one. Siddoway: Mr. President, two comments. One, regarding the timing, 2013 is the year that is targeted for development of the Borup property as a full park. Even that depends on development and utilities being available and things like that. The goal for the dog park task force would be to do this in advance of that. So, 2013 is not the goal date for the dog park, they'd like to, you know, see this done within the next year. But that, of course, depends on their fund raising. If the Council would like, rather than setting this money aside to be used with the larger partnership, if you'd prefer to see it -- to see a plan for specific improvements like fencing that we would go out and build with that money in advance of anything else happening, I can actually -- I could work on that and bring that back to you. But the impetus so far hasn't been to go out and build something in advance of the partnership, it's been to get the seed money, wait for them to raise their funds and, then, build the full thing. Bird: Mr. President? Zaremba: Mr. Bird. Bird: Steve, how urgent is this -- to pass this budget amendment tonight? Siddoway: It's really -- it's not so urgent for me as it is for the finance department, because there -- they have a deadline for when budget amendments can be made and Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 37 of 40 we are trying to respect that -- that deadline. Is there any -- there is no one from the finance department, is there? Bird: No. Nary: Mr. President? Zaremba: Mr. Nary. Nary: Mr. President, Members of the Council, Ithink -- I think what Steve just said the last is probably what's driving this more than anything. There is a cutoff by finance of when all budget amendments need to be requested and brought before you. It's not imperative that you pass it tonight. As you all know, in August we will have another hearing on this budget re -- budget amendment and do a re-budge ordinance for FY-10. So -- so, you don't have to approve it tonight, but I think what the direction both the parks department needs and finance needs is do you want this as part of your re-budget discussion in August or not. And so whatever direction you want to give parks, if you want them to gather more information on specifics or costs or whatever, I mean they can certainly do that. They could certainly have this in August, but I think that's really the concern from finance is when they are preparing the budget amendment do we include this 52,000 dollars or do we not. Zaremba: Well, I think it would be -- if we don't have to actually do this tonight, I think it would be legitimate to ask if in maybe the next meeting or the meeting after you could come back and say, okay, with this 52,000 dollars I could put so much fence in and have something to show for it this year. Rountree: Mr. President? Bird: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: My preference is that if we are going to do a capital improvement in the City of Meridian, as a budget item it needs to be on the CIP, and it needs to have the opportunity of public input. Leaving it in a capital improvement budget amendment, in my opinion, is wrong. I don't care what it is. Unless it's an emergency. We have it in an emergency. The money is not going to evaporate. Quite frankly, that money might be better used in another department for a safety issue. We don't know that. So, that's where I'm coming from. It's not you, Steve. Don't take me wrong. It's -- it is a principle and it's our fiduciary responsibility to take care of the money. I don't care if it's a dollar or 50,000 dollars or ten million dollars, that's where I'm coming from. Bird: Call for the question. Zaremba: Okay. We have a motion and a second on floor. We have been called for the question. Madam Clerk. Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 38 of 40 Roll-Call: Bird, nay; Rountree, nay; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea. MOTION FAILED: TWO AYES. TWO NAYS. Zaremba: And the motion does not. It would need a majority to pass, so -- just as a discussion, are we interested in having Steve do some work on it and tell us more or is that likely to be a final decision? Any comment? Rountree: Mr. President, I think Steve's heard me with -- would be my desire, but I don't know about the rest of you. Zaremba: Okay. Bird: I agree. I think it's obvious at this point through the whole CIP -- I agree with Charlie that I would sooner see it done as a whole CIP, instead of bits and pieces and stuff like that. I think there is a lot of planning that needs to going out there. before we get too far. I think you're in the right direction starting next Wednesday. Siddoway: I can bring it up through the CIP process, if there is at least general -- Rountree: Excellent. Siddoway: -- interest in going that direction with -- with the CIP. I can do that. Rountree: I don't think you heard anything different. Zaremba: And I'm agreeing with the principle, just trying to find a way to do it. Siddoway: Thanks. Hoaglun: And you just get the joy of being the first one. Siddoway: Thank you. Rountree: It's new and we just -- and we just have it. So, let's adhere to it. Zaremba: Okay. We still have Item E-3 to do. Hoaglun: Mr. President? Zaremba: Mr. Hoaglun. Hoaglun: Under Item 8-E-3, Parks and Recreation Department, I move approval of a budget amendment for split corridor pump station for a not to exceed amount of 55,000 dollars. Meridian City Council June 22, 2010 Page 39 of 40 Bird: Second. Zaremba: We have a motion and a second. Madam Clerk, please. Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea.
