Item 6: Community Items/Presentations
A. Police Department: Swearing In of New Police Officer
De Weerd: Item 6 is our community presentation. I will turn this over to Chief Lavey.
Lavey: Madam Mayor, Council, it's an honor to be in front of you today. The purpose
today is going to be a swearing in of a new police officer and just giving you a short
introduction of who he is. If you would allow me to do that first. Colin Yates has been
with us for several weeks now. He actually started a few weeks ago, left to go get
married, some time on a honeymoon, and, then, they come back.
De Weerd: Where are your priorities?
Lavey: So, we know who the true boss is there. But Colin was born in Bedford,
E-nglaflc~-and-at the-age-of 15-he-aett~ally jo+ned~he-Brit+sh-army: whey eoald do-that a# --
age 15 back then. In 2003 he decided to become a U.S. citizen and start his law
enforcement career. Now, what's unique is that he's worked for several law
enforcement agencies, but he really settled on Nampa Police Department in 2007 and
that is where he has actually worked for the metro task force and that is a pretty nice job
assignment to have in law enforcement and he left it to come work for us and I asked
him why and he said that he was going to get married, his wife Maggie is a school
Meridian Cily Council

Page 4 of 13
~' teacher for the Meridian School District and Mia, their daughter, live in --they all wanted
to live in Meridian and he wants to work in the community for which he lives. So, that
made me kind of proud and that is why he is here with us and so I would like Colin to
come forward to my left, so I can swear him in, and, then, we will have his family come
forward and pin the badge on him. So, Colin, if you would raise your right hand and
repeat after me. I, state your name, do solemnly swear or affirm, that I will support the
Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Idaho ,the laws
and ordinances of the City of Meridian, that I will abide by the law enforcement code of
ethics and the policies and procedures of the Meridian Police Department. That I will
obey all lawful orders and directives from those appointed over me and I will, to the best
of ability, faithfully discharge the duties of a police officer in and for the City of Meridian,
so help me God.
(Repeated by Officer Yates.)
Lavey: Congratulations, Colin.
De Weerd: And, like I told the Boy Scouts, you can smile, Officer Yates.
Lavey: That's his normal look. Thank you.
De Weerd: Officer Yates, certainly we would like to welcome you and your family to
your new family here in the City of Meridian. We appreciate your dedication to law
enforcement and we certainly look forward to a long term with the City of Meridian.
Yates: Thank you, Madam Mayor.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Rountree: Thank you.
Hoaglun: And, Madam Mayor, I appreciate someone that takes our city slogan, a great
place to live, work, and play, seriously.
De Weerd: Absolutely. Well, thank you for joining us, you and your family. And you
don't have to sit through the rest of our meeting. Thank you.

also move to accelerate it, the third reading, and approval, if you wish.
De Weerd: Okay. We will ask if there is anyone in the public who would like to -- or in

- Budget-Amendment for a-Not to-Exceed-Amount-0f-$3,-7-50.00-
for the Youth Dinner and Youth Summit
De Weerd: Item 9-A is under the Mayor's Office and as you will notice, this is Robert
that's getting up to present this amendment and not Luke. Luke is now an employee at

and we will be moving forward and interviewing for his position. Thank you, Robert.
Meridian City Council

Page 7 of 13
Simison: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. The amendment you
have before you is really a housekeeping amendment today. MYAC did their annual
fundraiser this year, raised about 4,000. In addition, we had money come in from the
America's Promise this year for being one of the one hundred best communities, and
this allows all those funds to be put into the MYAC account and the expenses from the
relative events paid out through the MYAC account and it has a null impact on the fund
balances. This is all raised by MYAC. I would be happy to answer any questions you
might have.
De Weerd: Council, any questions?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Okay.
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I would move that we approve the MYAC budget amendment in the amount
of 3,700 dollars -- 3,750.
Hoaglun: Second.
De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to approve Item 9-A. Madam Clerk, will you
call roll.
Roll Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea.
De Weerd: All ayes. Motion carried.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
De Weerd: Thank you, Robert.
Simison: Thank you.
B. Public Works: Budget Amendment for FY2012 in the Not-to-
- - - -- E-xeeed Amount of-$111;400:00#or-the-Design of a Water-
Treatment Facility at Well 21 Approved
C. Public Works: Budget Amendment for FY2012 in the Not-to-
Exceed Amount of $240,000.00 for Water Main Replacements
Meridian City Council
June 26,2012
Page 8 of 13
~ De Weerd: 9-B is under our Public Works Department. I imagine I'm turning it over to
you, Clint.
Dolsby: That's right. Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I have two separate no
debt increase budget amendments to bring before you tonight. The first one is to
reallocate funds from our consulting budget for the design of a water treatment facility at
Well 21 for iron and manganese treatment. This will be funding for partial design of this
project and we will be coming before you here in a couple weeks for -- in our budget
hearing for the remainder of the funding for design and construction of that project. The
second budget amendment is to reallocate funds from consulting and also from water
main extensions due to the fact that the Franklin Road, Ten Mile to Linder, project was
postponed from fiscal year '12 to '13 by ACHD. We are going to reallocate those funds,
as well as some consulting funds to enable us to complete the King Street and Williams
Street water line project that we need to get completed ahead of the split corridor
project. So, with that I would stand for any questions on either of these amendments.
De Weerd; Thank you. And I believe that under 9-B this is kind of a first step in our
water conservation plan for the manganese -- that's easy for me to say. And eliminate
some of the flushing that we have to do because of the minerals in the water.
Dolsby: Madam Mayor, that's correct. And the first phase of that program we came
before you -- I think it was a month ago at the workshop where we presented the brown
water presentation. This is kind of the first actual implementation of that.
De Weerd: Well, that's exciting. Thank you. Council, any questions?
Zaremba: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: I move that we approve Public Works' fiscal year 2012 budget amendment in
the not to exceed amount of 111,400 dollars for the design of a water treatment facility
at Well 21.
Hoaglun: Second.
De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to approve Item 9-B. Madam Clerk.
Roll Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea.
De Weerd: All ayes. Motion carried.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Zaremba: Madam Mayor?

De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: I move we approve the Public Works fiscal year 2012 budget amendment in
the not to exceed amount of 240,000 dollars for water main replacements.
Hoaglun: Second.
De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to approve Item 9-C and it is good to see that
project moving forward. Madam Clerk, will you, please, call roll.
Roll Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea.
De Weerd: All ayes. Motion carried.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
D. Award of Bid and Approval of Agreement for "Well 16b Test
Well Construction" to Treasure Valley Drilling and Pump, Inc."
for the Not-To-Exceed Amount of $56,690.00
De Weerd: Item 9-D is award of bid and approval of agreement for Well 16-B test well
construction. I will ask for comments from staff.
Watts: Yeah. Madam Mayor and Members of the Council, bringing this before you
tonight as it is a little different award of bid. This is being awarded to the second low
bidder. The apparent low bidder Hiddleston Drilling and Pump Company, during our
evaluation period of reviewing all the bids, did call and ask to be relieved of their bid.
They sent me a letter that you have in front of you, dated May 21st, that explains the
equipment required for this job. They had not allocated it properly and it is being used
in current work elsewhere and they couldn't get it here in time for this project. They
stated that a project they were working on got drawn over and was taking a little longer
and they weren't going to be able to bring that equipment here to do the job on time. I
also want to point out that Statute 54-1904 does state that the bidder will forteit his bid
bond in this instance. I would like to point out that his bid bond value was approximately
2,835 dollars and the difference in these bids from the low to the second low was only
$193.95.
De Weerd: Wow.
_ _ _ _ _ Watts: I would like Council to take that into consideration and_Bill canprovide some _ _
further assistance for you.
Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, we discussed this today and, obviously,
normally, we don't have quite such a small difference in the bid amount. It can impact
the bidder to have to forteit their bid bond and can impact them on future bids. It can
i impact them in some other ways. It's certainly within the Council's ability to direct Mr.
Meridian City Council
June 26, 2012
Page 10 of 13
~" Watts to contact the bidder, inform them of the requirements of the statute, which they
should be aware of, but if they wish to negotiate, they could certainly provide the city the
difference, which is, really, what the purpose for the bid bond is and it's just in most
cases it's not sufficient and it doesn't normally cover the gap. This one it certainly could.
I mean if the bidder wanted to -- or the original bidder Hiddleston wants to pay the gap
difference we could allow them release of their bid bond back to them, but that's
certainly within your discretion since you're not obligated to do that, it is a liquidated
damages, essentially, is what it is, for the -- for the city, but it's within your power to
direct that if you wish.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Keith, what was the estimated bid -- cost of the project?
Watts: I believe both these bids came in under budget. I believe quite significantly. I
don't have that number in front of me, sir. But I do recall it was quite significant. I
believe it's about 50 percent of the engineer's estimate.
Bird: I for one -- I can't speak for the other three, but I would have no problem if
Hiddleston would like to pay the difference, I would have no problem releasing their bid
bond.
1 Rountree: Madam Mayor, I don't see any reason why we should benefit in this
particular case and I agree with Keith that if they want to pay the difference and release
the bond and -- that's fair for both of us.
Zaremba: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: I would join in that opinion. I only have one other question and that is to
clarify, in an instance where we allow the actual lowest bidder to withdraw, does that
expose us to any appeals from the third and the fourth lowest bidder or anybody up the
line and this is all legal?
Watts: No, sir, it does not.
_ Zaremba: Okay. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Council Member Zaremba, the -- and
the remedy is the bid bond. So, if they were -- if they actually had withdrawn, there is
some other conditions in the statute that if there is a mistake or something else and they
notified us within a certain time period, they, actually, would need to be subject to losing
t. their bid security. But they were outside of that. So, they are subject to losing their bid
Meridian City Council
June 26, 2012
Page 11 of 13
~'" security. In 99 percent of the cases the bid security or the bid bond isn't enough to
cover the gap, so you're only using it as an offset. Here it just happens to be
significantly greater than what the difference was.
Zaremba: Thank you.
De Weerd: Anything further? I would look for your direction.
Zaremba: Do we need a motion?
Bird: Yes.
Watts: I believe we should, yes.
Zaremba: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: I move that we accept the award of the bid to the second lowest bidder for
Well 16-B test well construction, awarding the bid to Treasure Valley Drilling and Pump
for the not to exceed amount of 56,690 dollars and along with that we offer to the
withdrawing apparent lowest bidder Hiddleston that if they pay the difference between
the two bids we will return their bid surety. What's it called?
Watts: Bid bond. Yes.
Zaremba: Bid bond. End of motion.
Rountree: Second.
De Weerd: I have a motion and a second. Any discussion?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Madam Clerk, roll call, please.
Roll Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea.
De Weerd: All ayes. Motion carried.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Item 10: Future Meeting Topics
De Weerd: Item 10 is future meeting topics. Are there any topics for future agendas we
need to consider at this time?
Meridian City Council
June 26, 2012
Page 12 of 13
~~ Bird: I have none.
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes.
Rountree: I would like to have a discussiori with Public Works -- excuse me -- with
respect to one of the items we had on the agenda tonight. On the water treatment
facility and how the wells are being prioritized and in what order are we going to be
looking at cleaning up of the wells and I think we need to have some input into that. We
have users in the city that might benefit significantly. We have all our citizens that are
going to benefit significantly, but I think in all fairness to all of the users we need to take
a look at how that's going to be prioritized. I understand that this particular one is that
we are doing work there anyway and it's time to do it, but as we proceed we need to see
what the schedule is going to be like. That would be I think a workshop item and if -- I
don't know that it's real critical, Clint. August. September. Maybe. I don't know.
De Weerd: Yeah. I think that July is committed, but we can look at either August at the
earliest and I will look to Clint to get back to us on an appropriate date.
Dolsby: Yes.
De Weerd: Okay.
Nary: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I just wanted to make note -- you had
the revised ACHD split corridor agreement on there tonight. We had brought that up
last week with three issues of concern in regards to the access management, the
accelerated amount that the city would pay for the accelerated completion date, and
one other item. The ACRD returned with all the changes by the next day, so they were
very quick in turning it around, because what we asked for was specifics on those, so I
just wanted to make note of that for you and for the record.
Bird: Thank you.
Zaremba: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: And, Council, I would just also say that Adam and Brian were part of the
meeting earlier today with the business owners that are affected along Meridian Road
and we had some Main Street businesses as well that will be also affected and they
have just been a delight to work with. I think ACHD and the city have really come
together, along with the Chamber, to try and reach out to these businesses and -- and
Meridian Cily Council
June 26, 2012
Page 13 of 13
~ work together to raise the level of awareness to our community to support these
businesses during this -- this road construction project. It's kind of one of those not
anomalies, but rare situations where we are doing a complete road closure that it's nice
to see everyone working together and so just kudos to ACHD and a quick turn around
and their attitudes to being a partner and stepping up in these situations. Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: And just noting that at ACHD's commission meeting tomorrow night is when
they will be considering this and wondering if there is any desire for one of us to show
up and say something similar to what you just said.
De Weerd: If you're volunteering I think that would be excellent_
Bird: If you're volunteering --
Zaremba: I could be available. I'm wondering if more than one of us should go. I would
do that and convey our message to them in public, if -- if that's desirable.
De Weerd: That would be -- that would be very appropriate and make sure you extend
our appreciation to Adam and Brian in particular, they have been stellar.
Zaremba: Thank you. I will.
