Kingsford at 7:30 P.M.: Members Present: Ron Tolsma, Bob Giesler, Bert Myers, Max Yerrington: Others Present: Lee Sharp, Esther Sharp, Jim Johnson, Nadine Miller, Beth Biddick, Vern Lowe, Rose Mary Lowe, George O'Connor, Robin Frazier, Joyce Law, John Calhoun, Nick Hallett, Bill Mitchell, Sharon Mitchell, Dan Battazzo, Gary Smith, Bill Gordon, Wayne Crookston, Gary Fors, Ted Johnson, Roy Johnson, Chris Korte, Jerry Phillips, Joni Rath, Dixie Wood, Guy Walker, Dan Wood, Luther Hartshorn, Robin Frazier, Darlene Fullwood: The Motion was made by Giesler and seconded by Tolsma to approve the Minutes of the previous meeting held May 1, 1990 as written: Motion Carried: All Yea: The Motion was made by Yerrington and seconded by Myers to approve the Minutes of the Special Meeting held May 8, 1990 as written: Motion Carried: All Yea: Kingsford: -Welcomed Boy Scout Troup 4180 to the Meeting. The first thing that we need to talk about was left off of the agenda, we have received a letter from Joyce Law requesting that she be able to move a mobile home onto her property. Myers: Is one year sufficient at this point? The Motion was made by Giesler and seconded by Tolsma to approve the placement of a mobile home on her property for a one year period. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM $1: PUBLIC HEARING: REZONE REQUEST BY MAX BOESIGER, INC: Kingsford: At this time I will open the Public Hearing, is there anyone present who would like to offer testimony. Chris Korte, 499 Main Street, was sworn by the attorney. Korte: We have prepared for you a rather extensive document regarding the rezone request. Giesler: Do you have any idea how long before you plan on doing something with this property? Korte: I would have to refer that to Mr. Boesiger, but they are in the process of preparing that subdivision plat and proceeding forward with the development. Giesler: I have a little problem with just rezoning property and then nothing is done with the property. Korte: They are in the business of developing and they have done alot of development in the City, we feel that this project is very key to being able to develop that site. MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MAY 15, 1990 PAGE 2 Tolsma: The Comprehensive Plan for Meridian specifies one corner, we already have one corner that is zoned that way, so we would have to amend the comprehensive plan to allow two corners. Korte: We felt that the project met 95% of all the policies stated within the Comprehensive Plan. I feel that there is some conflicting statements made in there and it is going to be up to the City Council. The other corner has been zoned since 1974. Kingsford: I have some real concerns about land banking. I feel that one corner is all that needs to be there, if you do two then there will be pressure to also do the other two corners. Korte: The thing about this application is being in combination with their subdivision plat that they will be establishing that land use decision stopping strip commercial development west of Linder Road by the development of the subdivision. Kingsford: We have some pre -planning and we have a corner zoned already at Ten Mile Road the council would be looking at a real presidence if they grant one here. Korte: I think that you have to look at each one of these applications on their own Merit. I just don't believe that zoning one small corner is going to be adequate to meet the demand. Kingsford: Of course he had the same situation he developed a subdivision and left that lot out, it is no different than what we have here, and there is still no assurance that this developer will develop it either. Another concern I have it that there are rumors to the effect that you guys are dropping that subdivision plat, is this conditioned upon going forward with that or - - Korte: We would be able to inigrate this in as a development within the project if that can some how establish conditions that in deed this site will development in an orderly fashion. Kingsford: Wayne what is your analyis of that part of the comprehensive plan. Crookston: It is certainly a part of the plan, it's my understanding that there is a proposal to delete that from the plan, it has been discussed. Kingsford: For us to act on this without changing it we would be in violation of our own plan would we not? Max Boesiger, 1399 E. Monteray Drive, was sworn by the attorney. Boesiger: We really do fully intend to go through with the project. We are continuing on with the Final Plat for Phase I. We have had interest in commercial but they weren't going ahead with anything until theylmew that we had the zoning. Giesler: A rezone once a permit has been taken out, would that even be legal? MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MAY 15, 1990 PAGE #3 Boesiger: One other point on the single corner issue I would just like to reitterate that your plan doesn't say shall be a single corner only, but should be. We are likewise not interested in doing strip commercial. Kingsford: I really think that we would be looking at an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. Korte: Explained Policy #2 & 113. Kingsford: Anyone else from the public who wishes to offer testimony. Being no response the Public Hearing was closed. Myers: It looks to me that we need to have a determination on the Comprehensive Plan. What's your recommendation on how we would go about changing that? Kingsford: I don't recall seeing anything in the Findings for the Planning & Zoning about this. Crookston: You could table it for additional Findings, you can table it on whether or not it is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. Kingsford: What's your opinion on the Plan Unit Development thing. Crookston: You have more control on Plan Unit Development. To go ahead with the options, you could grant it and then proceed with the Comprehensive Plan and amend it subsequent which is not preferable, deny it or table. Tolsma: We might look at conditional zoning. Myers: The Plan Unit Development sounds better to me. Kingsford: What about tableing it until they come forward with a plan, user? Crookston: I think in order to do that you would have to have a basis for denial. Kingsford: Couldn't we just table it. The Motion was made by Myers and seconded by Tolsma for the attorney to research the Comprehensive Plan and also on the conditional zoning. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM#2: PUBLIC HEARING: REZONE REQUEST WITH CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR DAY CARE BY LINDA PADDOCK: Kingsford: I will ask Councilman Tolsma to preside over this, I live within the close proximity. Tolsma: I will open the Public Hearing, is there anyone present who wishes to offer testimony. MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MAY 15, 1990 PAGE #4 George O'Connor, 1819 Crestmont Drive, was sworn by the attorney. O'Connor: Read a petition listing six items of opposition to this Day Care facility. There were 29 signatures on these petitions. Petitions are entered as part of the record and are on file in the Clerk's office. Jerry Phillips, 544 W. Cherry, was sworn by the attorney. Phillips: How many kids where they have there in the summer when school is out? Also if it goes through a sound barrier fence on the west side of the property , I'm just 70 ft. from that property line. Joni Rath, 631 Lawndale Drive, was sworn by the attorney. Rath: One of my concerns is how many kids are going to be there, the traffic problems, the noise. Meridian does need quality child care but not in a small home. Dixie Wood, 628 Lawndale Drive, was sworn by the attorney. Wood: Concerned about traffic, hopes the council will take the time to go out and take a look at the traffic. There are only 6 parking spaces also which is not enough. Guy Walker, 2555 Misty Drive, was sworn by the attorney: Walker: I am here representing Linda Paddock. We appreciate the P & Z recommendation, we would also like to address their concerns. One of the concerns was the parking lot redesign and I did provide the City a redesign of the parking lot. The redesign provides for 3 employees parking and the possibility of a fourth, room for six visitors across the front. One of the other concerns of the P & Z is the deed restrictions. After reviewing the deed we could find nothing on the deed that restricted the use of this property. Covenants - our interpretation of the covenants reading every other lot other than the lot that has been zoned. Only half of the lot has been zoned commercially , but the property has had a conditional use permit using the property as a commercial piece of property. The building is not built for residential use it is strictly built for a commerical project. A letter from Attorney Jack Riddlemoser was entered into the record. Cherry Lane is the only four laned road in Meridian which will help traffic go from Crestmont to Cherry. What better place can you have a day care than right at that area. The traffic is not a problem it is a concern. It will be completely fenced with a solid fence 6 ft. high. Giesler: On your new layout, they are still going to be backing out onto Crestmont. Is this existing structure to scale with the lot. Walker: Yes they would be backing out onto that street. No I wouldn't swear to that. Giesler: First you mentioned the shelter home being a business already at this location, first you have to realize that there would not be the amount of traffic with a shelter home than with a day care facility. Voiced real concerns with the traffic situation. I don't see how 35-45 kids can be in that small yard. Walker: I would have to confer with the client to see about restricting the number to be at the day care. There would not be 45 at one time out in the yard. MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MAY 15, 1990 PAGE #5 Yerrington: What would be the maximum age of children she would be caring for. Walker: Up to twelve years old. Yerrington: What would be the average age then? Walker: Probably 6 or 7. Yerrington: So that means in the summer time they could have 40 to 45 children there all day long, right? Walker: Possibly, yes. There is going to be one person for every ten children to supervision. Giesler: The 45 is the maximum she could have at one time. So if one child left another could come and fill that spot. Walker: No, you can only enroll 45. Giesler: As long as there is 45 there at one time, if one leaves then one can take that place I think. Crookston: I don't know what the requirements are for a Day Care Center. Myers: You can have 45 enroll but they may not all be there at the same time Walker: That's correct. Myers: The maximum you can have at one time and the maximum that are enrolled could be different. Walker: Yes. Tolsma: I agree with Mr. Giesler's comments. The traffic is already backed up getting out onto Cherry Lane. People cut accross the parking lot to get out on Cherry Lane. The traffic is a problem, I went over and watched the traffic flow. Walker: It sounds like the neighbors have a problem with Circle K. Dan Wood, 628 Lawndale, was sworn by the attorney. Wood: Had questions about the parking. There would have to at least five spaces for the employees if there were 45 kids there. When the Conditional Use Permit was issued it was with the intent that older people would be at the Shelter home without cars. A majority of the neighbors do not want this and I am opposed also. Tolsma: Anyone else to testify, being no response the Public Hearing was closed. Do we have to have new Findings on this? Crookston: I think there have been enough issues raised that it's appropriate for new Findings. Myers: Most of the testimony tonight is about traffic conerns. The Motion was made by Giesler and seconded by Myers to have the attorney to prepare the Findings of Fact and COnclusions of Law. Motion Carried: All Yea: MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MAY 15, 1990 PAGE #6 ITEM #3: PUBLIC HEARING: REZONE REQUEST BY SHARON OLSEN: Kingsford: I will open the Public Hearing at this time, is there anyone that would like to offer testimony? Bill Mitchell, 1413 W. 7th, was sworn by the attorney: Mitchell: Three things I wish you would take into consideration. One being the location of the driveway into this property, second concern is putting a forty foot building about eleven feet from my back fence, my final concern is about the upkeep of the building. Kingsford: A single family dwelling can be at that same height. Anyone else to testify? Vern Lowe, 1425 W. 7th, was sworn by the attorney. Lowe: Units like this don't really bring a family type atmosphere to an area that is family homes. This creates problems for the neighbors that live close like I do. It is kind of an invasion of privacy. If another one is approved I'm afraid that it will bring in undesirable rentals. I have nothing against Sharon she went in there years ago and she cleaned the place up and it looked like it was going to be well maintained and taken care of, no matter how good of a landlord you are you can't descriminate against the ones that do want to rent. Giesler: Is there just a chain link fence behind this development? Lowe: My home hasa chain link fence and I put in pickett stakes 6' high. Giesler: Is there any fence behind the other developments that are taking place. Lowe: No. Duane Olsen, 2621 Autumn Way, was sworn by the attorney. Olsen: I represent the people accusing people of other people being less desirable. I have two daughters that have only been married a few years and they plan on living in these apartments. Sharon has contributed alot to that neighborhood. She is a good landlord and I do resent people referring to people that have to rent as being undesirable. Kingsford: Anyone else from the public, seeing none I will close the Public Hearing. Giesler: I had a questions of Sharon Olsen. Was the sidewalk going to stay in there? Kingsford: I will reopen the Public Hearing at this time. Sharon Olsen, 807 E. Washington, Boise, was sworn by the attorney. Olsen: Yes. Giesler: That is going to go beside the driveway that you have proposed. Olsen: That is a proposed plan. I think it would be alot better if the drive did come in from the other side of the property. MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MAY 15, 1990 PAGE #7 Giesler: I would hate that walkway get blocked off. Clerk Niemann: It's a permanent easement. Kingsford: In Mr. Mitchell's letter it spoke of parking behind the unit, is that stil your plan? Olsen: No. Kingsford: That has changed? Olsen: Yes, it has. Kingsford: How do you plan to deal with the power poles and that sort of thing? Olsen: It was all marked on the proposed site plan. Giesler: I don't believe ACHD's comments were in for P & Z, do you have any problems with those comments? Discussion. Tape on File. Kingsford: Is there anyone else who would like ito offer testimony, being no response I will close the Public Hearing. Giesler: This is a very tough decision. I do feel for the rest of the neighbors having something that large being build next to them. The Motion was made by Giesler and seconded by Yerrington to approve of the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law. Roll Call Vote: Yerrington - Yea; Giesler - Yea; Tolsma - Yea; Myers - Yea: Motion Carried: All Yea: The Motion was made by Giesler and seconded by Tolsma to draw up the Ordinance with the stipulation that it have design review. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #4: PUBLIC HEARING: PRELIMINARY PLAT ON MALLARDS LANDING: Kingsford: I will open the Public Hearing, is there anyone who would like to offer testimony? Gary Fors, 843 Lilac, was sworn by the attorney. Fors: I haven't seen the final plat on this phase. The one concern that I have is the traffic pattern, they will have to come out onto Linder Road. MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MAY 15, 1990 PAGE #8 There isn't any reason not to punch it out onto Waltman Lane and enhance into Meridian Road, which I think in the future will be done anyhow. A little respect for the neighborhood is in good consideration. Also I do have a business that adjoins this on the south, I would like to see a fence put in along the property line. Nick Hallett, 7500 Hidden Valley Drive, was sworn by the attorney. Hallett: Is this for 89 homes? I am here representing Meridian School District and we've not become very involved in opposing growth. The School District recognizes that we need economic development, a good economy for our economony and our school district both. There comes a point and time that we have to address the overcrowding needs in our school district. Explained overcrowding in schools at Meridian now. We've reached a point where we have to oppose residential growth in our school district unless we can get a pledge from officials responsible for growth. We need your support. Kingsford: What your asking for is basically support for bond issue and support for development fees. What has happened with the issue of Lottery money and the possibility of using that as a 50/50 match in a bond issue. Hallett: We intend to use the proceeds from the lottery fund for this coming year and the next year to help us meet the demands in that bond issue. If we could use a combination of all three the development fee, the lottery and the bond issue it would help. We need support going into that. Tolsma: Would your development fee be similar to the one that ACRD is proposing? Hallett: Basically what we are proposing is just 3% of construction value of residential homes. Kingsford: Thank you, those are concerns that we all share. Anyone else from the public who wishes to testify? Dan Battazzo, 3076 Gretchen Way, was sworn by the attorney. Battazzo: I am here to support Dr. Hallett in the things that he just expressed to you. Luther Hartshorn, 465 Linder Rd., was sworn by the attorney. Hartshorn: At the SW corner of this development there is one lot that faces onto Linder Road and that piece of property isn't really like the rest of the development. That piece of property ought to be taken and used for square footage for a burm or some sort of green belt thing along the sidewalk. At Franklin & Linder Road that intersection already needs to have a stop light. We increased housing we are going to need to sort of traffic regulation. Robin Frazier, 3301 Kingswood Way, Boise, was sworn by the attorney. Frazier: Voiced concerns about classsroom overcrowding. I would like to see no more growth in our school district until we get some schools on line. John Calhoun, 660 S. Linder, was sworn by the attorney. Calhoun: On the 3% they want to charge, there are two ways about this the developer is not going to pay for this out of his own pocket. MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MAY 15, 1990 PAGE #9 Calhoun: It's going to cost the younger people that's trying to buy a home. On the other hand I don't like to see taxes raised for school property, I am getting up to retire— ment age, every year our taxes go up. I'm in favor of running these schools 12 months a year. I am in favor of another access, or put in a stop light. Kingsford: Anyone else from the public who wishes to testify? Matie Livingston, 465 S. Linder, was sworn by the attorney. Livingston: I am concerned about the amount of impact, the amount of houses on such a small piece of land. The houses that are already in on Linder Road are to close together and the houses are to large for the lots. The area cannot contain that much human impact. A burm needs to be put in along Linder. Kingsford: Anyone else? Ted Johnson, 5330 Farrow Street,. Boise was sworn by the attorney. Johnson: I am the applicant in this request. I would like to describe what we are planning here. Some of the features in this first phase would be a large landscaped burm on Linder, we would not have a fence. The burm will be landscaped with trees and shrubery and a meandering sidewalk & two access's on the street. The project abutts Ten Mile Creek, there is a creek along there and there is a roadway access along that and it is our intention to put in a fence along that and some screening for trees to give it some greenery. The lots here are quite a bit larger than the minimum. I don't think there is anyone that has worked harder to help the School District than I have. In another Phase of our work, we are developing a high tech research center in Boise, and I can tell you that within the last twelve because of our efforts over fourteen million dollars worth of new building will come on the tax rolls in the Meridian School District. If that isn't helping I don't know what is. I don't generate the people that come into my subdivisions. Kingsford: Having gone through teaching here in Meridian I have seen the cycle that you are talking about. We need to keep everything in some sort of prospective. Engineer Smith: I just wanted to reiterate the impact of a subdivision of this size. It's 110 acres and probably looking at 390 residential units. I did request an overall concept plan for the layout plan of this subdivision, I have received this. I also requested an overall plan for the water and sewer system including fire flow demands, etc., I haven't been in contact with Mr. Johnson the project engineer since then to see what he has come up with. One other item that needs to be addressed is access to the subdivision from arterial and minor arterial streets. I think that those three things are important. I just want to be sure of where we are going. Giesler: You haven't seen anything about traffic study at Linden & Franklin. Smith: No I haven't. On a preliminary plat basis I think it is real important that the whole picture be looked at. Giesler: Why wasn't that intersection taken care of when they did that construction out there last year? At Waltman & Meridian Road. Kingsford: When the Nahas property is developed, that is part of there scheme is that that intersection will have to be improved. MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MAY 15, 1990 PAGE #10 Kingsford: Anyone else from the public to testify? Roy Johnson, 6017 W. State Street, Boise was sworn by the attorney. Johnson: I am the project engineer on this project. In response to Gary's comments, we are in the process of preparing plans and design and we will be submitting that to him sometime next week including the analysis of the water system. With regards to ACRD, I have a letter here dated April 23 stating some site specific conditions that he has put in here. Explained the conditions set forth. Kingsford: Anyone else to testify? Being no response the Public Hearing was closed. The Motion was made by Giesler and seconded by Tolsma to table this until the next meeting June 6th. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM#5: PUBLIC HEARING: REZONE REQUEST & PRELIMINARY PLAT ON DUNTEN SUBDIVISION BY CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT: Kingsford: At this time I will open the Public Hearing, if you wish to testify please come forward and be sworn. Darlene Fallwood, 1800 Sunrise Rim, Boise, was sworn by the attorney. Fallwood: I to come before you as a School District Representative, I currently am the director of Elementary Education and I'm presently dealing with the overcrowding. I am continuing to ask you to respond to his request for support a development fee and that you also support an upcoming bond levy. Roy Johnson, 6017 W. State Street, Boise, was sworn by the attorney. Johnson: I am project engineer on this project also. We are asking for a zone change for this property the specific reason for that is the area surrounding we have an R-15 zone directly to the west and to the north is zoned R-4, however the lots in that particular subdivision are smaller because it's a older subdivision. We have submitted the plans to your engineer for review and we've complied with everything that he has requested. Giesler: What price range of home will there be? Johnson: The lowest end would be $70,000. up to about $100,000. Giesler: How soon does he plan on starting construction? Johnson: Immediately, as soon as Gary approved the plans we will be starting. Giesler: What about the pressurized irrigation. Johnson: We have the pressurized irrigation design as submitted according to the Ordinance. Kingsford: Anyone else from the public? MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MAY 15, 1990 PAGE #11 Giesler: Do either Gary or Bill forsee any problems with acess to Cherry Lane? Eng. Smith: I doubt there is enough traffic to warrant a traffic light.I'm sure there will be some problems getting out. Kingsford: Anyone else who wishes to testify? Ramon Yorgensen, 5005 Cher Place, was sworn by the attorney: Yorgensen: ACRD has looked at the project, and certainly they are concerned about traffic flow, and they have indicated to us that they think this is a good project. Kingsford: Anyone else? Being no response the Public Hearing is closed. Giesler: I understand that we do definitely have a problem with overcrowding in schools. It is really hard to turn this down when we are trying to promote good clean industry into this area, I think there is another board that needs to work on these solutions with us. The Motion was made by Giesler and seconded by Yerrington to approve the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Laws provided by Planning & Zoning. Roll Call Vote: Yerrington - Yea; Giesler - Yea; Tolsma - Yea; Myers - Yea: Motion Carried: All Yea: The Motion was made by Giesler and seconded by Myers to have the attorney prepare the rezone ordinance for the property. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #6: PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT BY BIDDICK & MILLER FOR WEATHERVANE VILLAGE: Kingsford: I will open the Public Hearing, is there anyone present who wishes to testify. Darlene Fullwood, 1800 Sunrise Rim, Boise, was sworn by the attorney. Fullwood: I come before you again to ask that you recognize the needs for our schools. Kingsford: Anyone else present. Nadine Miller, 6203 Edgewater Dr., Boise, was sworn by the attorney. Miller: This rezone will have the positive benefit to the City of Meridian of finally completing a project that was begun several years ago and putting it onto the tax rolls. This project has had slow growth because it was for mobile homes and manufactured homes. We have felt the need to go with custom built homes. It's been a nice clean project, I can't say what impact there will be on the schools. We do have a buyer for the unfinished portion of that. Tolsma: In the Findings they requested a smaller size 960 sq. feet. Miller: That's what the project has carried all along as a minimum. MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MAY 15, 1990 PAGE #12 Further Discussion. (Tape on file) Kingsford: Anyone else to testify, being no response the Public Hearing was closed. Giesler: What setbacks are we going to go by? Kingsford: I think that you've got to go with modular home setbacks given that the subdivision was started that way. The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Myers to approve the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law. Roll Call Vote: Yerrington - Yea; Giesler - Yea; Myers - Yea; Tolsma - Yea: Motion Carried: All Yea: The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Yerrington to approve the Conditional Use Permit & Variance for Weathervane Village. Roll Call Vote: Yerrington - Yea; Giesler - Yea; Myers - Yea; Tolsma - Yea: Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #7: PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE 1989/1990 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET: Kingford: You've had in your boxes an amended budget proposal, if we're to look at amending the budget to receive the Federal Grant for the drug enforcement officer and to take advantage of developers contributions to extend sewer at two localalities. The Motion was made by Myers and seconded by Giesler to, approve of the Amendment. Motion Carried: All Yea: ITEM #8: DEPARTMENT REPORTS: Eng. Smith: This concerns Well #12. The City received two letters, one from Pete Cope & one letter from his attorney. Basically Mr. Cope is saying that he will provide the letter of credit for Drilling of Well #12 which we cannot accept and he is requesting his bid bond returned to him, his basis for that request is that it was his understanding that at the time of the bid that letter of credit was acceptable. Kingsford: I do think we need a release from Cope and then proceed with that well, and with your permission we'd like to proceed that way. The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Giesler to authorize the Mayor to send back the bid bond upon receiving a letter from Cope. Motion Carried: All Yea: Eng. Smith: The Ten Mile Road sewer and water line extension project is out for bid, bids will be opened May 23rd. The Ten Mile Creek sewer plans are to the stage where I should receive a preliminary copy , Friday morning I'm meeting with the Engineer to review those. Crestwood Estates sewer line extension that will eliminate the Franklin square lift station, the preliminary plans are on my desk now for that. MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MAY 15, 1990 PAGE #13 Chief Gordon: The four ordinances that were in your boxes, I realize that you haven't had time to look at those. At the time those were drawn up two of them were pressing issues, one has eliminated itsself temporarily, there is still one that is a pressing issue, I would like to see some action on as soon as you get the opportunity to, and that's the curfew ordinance. Kingsford: ORDINANCE N0. 528: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MERIDIAN REPEALING SECTION 8-501, ESTABLISHING AGE FOR TIME LIMIT, OF THE REVISED AND COMPILED ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF MERIDIAN; RE -ADOPTING SAID SECTION 8-501, ESTABLISHING AGE FOR TIME LIMIT, TO PROVIDE THAT IT BE UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON UNDER THE AGE OF EIGHTEEN YEARS TO BE OR TO REMAIN, ON THE STREETS AFTER MIDNIGHT, WITHOUT AN EXCEPTION; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Is there anyone present who wishes to have Ordinance No. 528 read in it's entirety? The Motion was made by Myers and seconded by Yerrington that the rules and provisions of 50-902 and all rules and provisions requiring that Ordinances be read on three different days be dispensed with and that Ordinance Number 528 be passed and approved. Roll Call Vote: Yerrington - Yea; Giesler - Yea; Myers - Yea; Tolsma - Yea: Motion Carried: All Yea: Yerrington: Myself and Mr. Myers met last week and went over the Building Inspector's pay scale. We did it for two periods of time. The first was for the 6z years and we went back thirteen (13) years beyond that, in the last 61-, years the monthly average pay of our Building Inspector was $2,325.90. The previous thirteen years the average pay was $1416.00. We arrived at the conclusion that to hire a Building Inspector would cost a fringe benefit to the City of approximately $800.00 a month, this would be on top of the going wage that you would have to pay this individual. We arrived at the conclusions that we should leave for the next two years and then review the matter again. Clerk Niemann: I have some weeds down in a field at the end of W. Idaho, I need Council approval to get them cleaned up. The Motion was made by Myers and seconded by Giesler to approve the cleaning up of the field at W. Idaho.
