de Weerd: We are at Item 6-A. We have Community Presentations and tonight we
have the privilege of seeing our chief receive an executive certificate, something that
Meridian City Council
November 23, 2010
Page 4 of 16
doesn't happen often, although he might tell you otherwise. But it's very significant and
we appreciate the POST being here tonight to present this to our chief.
Flink: Madam Mayor and Honorable Council Members, my name is William Flink, I'm
the director of Peace Officers Standards and Training for the state of Idaho. Peace
Officers Standards and Training, for those who may not be fully aware what it is, is the
organization under the state government with the Idaho State Police who sets the
minimum training standards and employment standards for all peace officers and law
enforcement officers in the state of Idaho. As part of our program we have basic
training and career development programs that we put on that we hope that officers will
achieve during their professional careers and that's what's brought me here today to
give this award to Chief Jeff Lavey. Chief Jeff Lavey for the last 13 years working in the
state of Idaho and training in the state of Idaho, has become a roll model for many law
enforcement officers, especially in the valley here. Besides rising through the ranks of
the department in his training career as a professional advancement he has obtained
the POST basic, the intermediate, the advanced, the supervisor and management
certifications during his career. He has a bachelor's degree in management
organization and leadership through George Fox University and, additionally, has
graduated from the 240th session of the FBI academy. Those achievements in
themselves, when you're talking about how hard some of these certificates are to
receive, speak a lot about your chief and he has a great amount of respect amongst the
chiefs in this state, as I have witnessed, and it's really my honor to represent the POST
council chairman in this awarding. This certificate is the only certificate that POST gives
that comes directly from the council for achievement and the council represents all
major law enforcement entities, the counties and the cities and the prosecutors, they all
recognize the certificate as being something special. There are not many chiefs of
police in the state that currently hold this certificate and we are all proud of him. I'm
going to show you the certificate that we are going to give before I show it to the chief,
because I want you to have a little bit of idea of how serious we are about this kind of an
award. It's, again, the most prestigious certificate somebody can get from our
organization and we are sure that we are giving it to the right person who is truly a roll
model of law enforcement in the state of Idaho. So, Chief Lavey.
de Weerd: Thank you, lieutenant.
Flink: Chief, this is a certificate awarded from Chief Dan Weaver, the president of --
chairman of the POST council, and he would want -- he wanted to be here himself, but
he had to get back to Moscow and was unable to stay for tonight's ceremony, but this is
specifically from the POST council to you for your great effort being a role model to a lot
of law enforcement officers, not only in your own department, but throughout the region.
I hope you will find a good place for it. And besides that, I have got a letter here that
also kind of states the purpose of the certificate, so not sure if you want the paper or
not, but it is Christmas, right? Thank you.
Lavey: Madam Mayor, Council, I'd like to say a couple of words. Today at our directors
meeting I made a comment that it -- I didn't feel it was that major of an accomplishment,
Meridian City Council
November 23, 2010
Page 5 of 16
because you just needed to put in three years and 100 hours executive certification
training and the national academy took care of 400 hours and, then, I just had to survive
three years as a police chief and, then, a lot of my peers said that that is the -- the effort
right there is surviving three years as a police chief and so I have reflected back on me
standing here approximately three years and probably three months ago and the secret
to my success is the men and women that I have working for me and I want to thank
them and I want to thank Madam Mayor and Council for that opportunity. So, thank
you.
de Weerd: Well, congratulations, chief.

D. Public Hearing: RZ 10-003 Police Department Rezone by City
of Meridian Planning Department Located at 1401 E.
Watertower Street (Lot 8, Block 2, Murdoch Subdivision No. 2)
Request: Rezone of 9.33 Acres From R-8 (Medium-Density
Residential) to C-G (General Retail and Service Commercial
District) Zone
E. Public Hearing: MDA 10-007 Police Department Rezone by City
of Meridian Planning Department Located 1401 E. Watertower
Street (Lot 8, Block 2 of Murdoch Subdivision No. 2) Request:
Repeal the Recorded Development Agreement (Instrument
#100040596) Required with the Annexation of the Stratford
Business Park (aka Murdoch Subdivision No. 2)
de Weerd: Item 8-D is a public hearing on RZ 10-003 and we have Item 8-E, which is a
public hearing on MDA 10-007. I will open these two public hearings with staff
comments.
Parsons: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, the subject property before you
tonight is located at 1401 East Water Tower Street. Just a coincidence that this is on
tonight given that we are giving Chief Lavey the award tonight, but perfect timing I would
say. This property came before you in 2000 and was annexed and zoned as R-8.
Since that time back in 2002 several of the commercial lots, 11 to be exact, were
rezoned to C-G and those are the lots that are bordered along the north boundary and
the east boundary. As you can see in the aerial here several of the lots have developed
with commercial development and some remain vacant to this date. Earlier this year
staff was contacted by a contractor for the site. He had asked staff about the
development procedures for this property and after looking into and researching this
property staff concluded that there is a development agreement on the site and it also
requires CUP approval. So, we actually have two items here. We have R-8 zoning,
which requires a CUP for apublic/quasi-public use and, then, we also have a recorded
development agreement. So, in order to facilitate an easier application process for the
police department and given the surrounding development around this property, staff
initiated the rezone and the development agreement modification before you this
evening. We did receive written confirmation from Steve Douglas at Idaho Department
of Lands. He really had no objections to the application before you. I would mention
that the RUT lot that's just south of the police department property is planned for
commercial development if and when that they decide to annex into the city. So, given
that it would more than likely change to commercial development at some point. Staff
felt that C-G zoning was appropriate for this site. Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended approval with no modifications or changes. No one testified at the
hearing or provided any testimony in opposition of the application. To staffs knowledge
there are no outstanding issues before you this evening and with that I'd stand for any
questions you may have regarding the application.
de Weerd: Thank you, Bill. Council, any questions for staff at this time?
Meridian City Council

Bird: I have none.
Hoaglun: Madam Mayor?
de Weerd: Mr. Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: Bill, just a quick question with the zoning change. You know, they have their
dog training facility there that's also part-time used as a dog park. Does that impact that
use in any way with the zoning change?
Parsons: Madam Mayor, Councilman Hoaglun, it does not. It's still a public use and
public uses -- once this is rezoned and the ordinance is approved and it goes to C-G
zoning, those are principally permitted uses in that district, so once the police
department goes to move -- the park itself will be a principally permitted use, but as they
go to expand that training facility on the site as well, then, they would only have to go
through CZC and design review process for that future development and/or expansion
on the property as well. So, we felt it was better served or use of taxpayers dollars
going through the CZC process than having public hearings and having other
commissions coming in and hearing development applications on this site.
Hoaglun: Great. Thank you, Bill.
de Weerd: Thank you. Would the applicant like to make any comments? This is
different.
Canning: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of .the Council. I did want to just add
that I did verify with the police chief that this was okay. So, we did do this with his
knowledge, understanding, and approval. That's all. And I will stand for any questions.
de Weerd: Council, any questions for the applicant?
Canning: I didn't charge a fee.
de Weerd: Thank you. That would have been a good question.
Hoaglun: Madam Mayor and Anna, I hope the chief at least takes you to lunch or
something. That, you know, would be at least a reasonable fee.
de Weerd: On his --
Hoaglun: His -- yeah. His own personal --
de Weerd: Okay.

Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of -- he did give me the coconut award at the
director meeting, but thus far that's all I have gotten, so I will let him know that you
specifically have suggested he take me to lunch.
de Weerd: I've seen the coconut award to know how special that is. Okay. This is a
public hearing. Is there any member of the public who would like to provide testimony
on this item? Okay. Council, any questions for staff at this point? I don't see any public
testimony. I would entertain a motion to close.
Zaremba: Madam Mayor?
de Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: Having given the opportunity and seeing no one coming forward, I move we
close the public hearing on RZ 10-003 and MDA 10-007.
Hoaglun: Second.
de Weerd: I have a motion and a second to close the public hearing on Items 8-D and
E. All those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carried.

Zaremba: I move we approve RZ 10-003.

Item 9: Department Reports
A. Mayor's Office: Resolution No. 10-756: A Resolution of the
Mayor and the City Council of the City of Meridian, Appointing
Megan Murphy to Seat 9 of the Meridian Arts Commission;
And Providing an Effective Date
de Weerd: 9-A under Department Reports. Council, you have a resolution in front of
you appointing Megan Murphy to Seat 9 of the Meridian Arts Commission. Megan
served on our parks commission last year and was a very reliable commission member.
She added to the discussion. She found that the parks commission was a little bit too
much of a time commitment due to a pretty -- I guess aggressive school load that she's
holding this year. She also had an interest in our arts commission, which meets
immediately following school, so she felt that that would be a commitment that she
could dedicate her time to and her interest. Council, I would appreciate your
confirmation of this appointment.
Hoaglun: Madam Mayor?
de Weerd: Mr. Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: I move approval of resolution number 10-756 appointing Megan Murphy to
Seat 9 of the Meridian Arts Commission.
Zaremba: Second.
de Weerd: I have a motion and a second to approve Resolution 10-756. If there is no
discussion, Madam Clerk.
Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, absent; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea.
de Weerd: All ayes. Motion carried.

B. Planning Department: Destination Downtown Plan
de Weerd: Item 9-B. I'll turn this over to Anna.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, my understanding of this item is to
follow up on the Destination Downtown discussion you had with MDC this summer. As
you may recall, you had a workshop, they presented the whole plan to you and I think
there is a general acknowledgment that it was a good plan and a good start. I have
gone though that plan, dissected it and broken it down in a number of ways to look at
how the city may be able to move forward and I spoke to you a little bit about that during
my strategic plan. I think Council Member Zaremba wanted an acknowledgment on the
part of Mayor and .Council that this is a document that city staff should be looking at
working on and I think one of the options considered was to adopt it as our own. There
may be some concerns with that and I don't have specific examples necessarily to give
you, but I wanted to say it's -- it's primarily a vision document and a compilation of the
public involvement efforts done by the consultant for that area. So, it's a collection of a
lot of ideas, some that may not be compatible with one another and some that may be
worded in a way that the city perhaps wouldn't want to say is their own. So, what I
would recommend that if the city wants to perhaps do a resolution acknowledging that it
is -- you know, it is the vision we have for the redevelopment area, it does provide that
public participation and input on what those owners see as the best way to move
forward, and it certainly provides a starting point for discussions for staff to look at in
moving those objectives forward and that would be my recommendation ,tonight for
Council, because I think there is a lot of really great stuff as a starting point in that
document and, really, a good basis for discussion and moving forward and seeking out
partnerships with MDC and with others.
de Weerd: Thank you, Anna. And, Council, we had called the workshop with the MDC
to present the plan. We also invited departments and various commissions that would
own a little bit of piece of implementation of those plans because of some of the citizen
involvement and oversight, maybe, in duties of some of those commissions that would
have a relationship with the plan. Anna has also dissected it in terms of actionable
items to make more apparent of what is typically an urban renewal district role and what
might be a role and/or responsibility on behalf of the city to implement this publicly
participated vision. So, I do think that the resolution is the appropriate fashion and
certainly Council in reviewing the minutes of the workshop that this was presented, it
looked like Council also bought into the vision, maybe not some of the implementation
specific steps and this will not make us totally commit to each of those, but you do have
that document that Anna has put together. We have asked each of the departments to
go through it, look at it in terms of what is doable and what those are assigned to and
provide feedback so we can have a discussion with the urban renewal district on setting
clear roles and responsibilities and expectations, so they don't expect that we are going
to be doing something that we don't feel comfortable in doing. So, we would look for
your comments and feedback on that document as well and, Anna, if I remember right
the deadline was for next Friday. A week from Friday.
Meridian City Council
November 23, 2010
Page 13 of 16
Canning: Correct. The other directors were to get me their comments next Friday and,
then, I committed to turning around their edits within a week and I think within another
week what I could do is I really broke the plan up into almost levels where it has a hard
time making sense and I committed to take -- once we get all the assignments done and
figure out who is doing what, I committed to kind recombining it into more of a narrative
style that clearly explains what we would be doing and could certainly and will certainly
provide that to Council and, Madam Mayor, perhaps that would be the appropriate time
to bring that resolution back is when that document is done as well, so Council can
understand what staff is committing to.
de Weerd: What we also did with that, just so as you're looking at it, we made
definitions, because we couldn't really find specific definitions on the high, medium --
high, medium and low and nonpriority definitions in that plan for action items. So, the
highest we assigned either were doing that work right now or will be doing it within a
three month time period. High is this -- this budget year. Medium is next budget year.
Low would be in a five year time frame. And, then, our next nonpriority would be ten
years and we also might make --
Canning: We used lowest, instead of nonpriority, but -- yeah.
de Weerd: Oh. Lowest. And, then, we do have the items that we feel need to be
removed for our recommendation. Again, then, we would meet with the Urban Renewal
District to have those discussions as well. Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: Madam Mayor, I would only add to that that one of the things that I thought
was very attractive about the Destination Downtown plan was that it was not just
something that a bunch of people were going to think about and write up and, then, put
on the shelf someplace, but part of the plan had the elements that there would be
champions selected who would take on the work of actually making the plan happen.
like the idea of bringing it forward as a resolution, again, when we did have the
discussion on it I think most of the Council was in favor of the work that was done to that
point and thought it was a good thing to move forward. I just feel since MDC is,
technically, a separate agency from the city, we are not the same thing, that the work
that has been done in the interim, as Director Canning has mentioned, identified a
number of staff members who would take on some of those champion roles and just so
that we are clear that MDC is not running the city, I think it would be wise to have a
resolution that we agree with their plan and we authorize city staff to be the champions.
In the long run I think it would be of great benefit to the city to have our people be
involved in some of those areas. We are not covering all areas. Some of them are still
MDC direct responsibility, but I just think it would be prudent and helpful for us to have a
resolution authorizing this.
de Weerd: Thank you. Any other discussion from Council? Well, we do look forward to
your feedback and any comments if you can get those to Anna. And thank you, Anna,
that was a mammoth undertaking, so we appreciate that.
