Longetsigi On Xay 10, 1973, we discussed the location for the municipal water supply line, that will serve the Meridian Pool, with Mayor Don 114. Storey. At that time Xayor Storey Indicated that the location should be modified. OThe original line, an "**rM*d running from tits pool to the existing municipal water main, was to extead souttiwasterly from the pool to a point near tits southwest boundary of the land purchased by the Western Ada Recreation District from the Meridian Lairy Show. From there the line parallels the southwest boundary of the pool property and extends across the existing park roadway to the northerly side of the road. From that point, the proposed water line proceeds westerly into East First Street and make its connection into the existing water main (gess the Drawing No. 690501-02-2, Engineers Plans for Haridiau Switiming Pool and Roadway Construction Project). Mayor Storey's suggestion was that the water line location be revised for the last two described runs of pipeline to keep the water main on the south side of the said park access road. This change would result in approximately the seam cost to tits District and would eliminate disruption to the park roadway or lawn. The land on which the water line is to be relocated is reportedly owned by the k1loridian 13airy and >tockmans Association (See attached description) and it will be necessary to obtain a right of way easement from them. Therefore, using the said description, would you complete the necessary easement papers and furnish same to Mayor Storey as soon as possible so that 110 can obtain the necessary signatures as are required to obtain the right of way.

CherryLane Meridian, Idaho 83707 Re: $80000 Western Ada Co. Recreation District Swimming Pool Bonds Dear Jim: When I last met with your Board we tentatively considered selling the bond issue in December. I believe I mentioned at that time that the bond attorneys were still reviewing the organization of the District. I have enclosed a copy of their latest correspondence by which they summarize their analysis of the District's organization and request many additional legal showings before they can approve sale of the bonds. In talking with Jay Longeteig he indicates the most timely manner to handle the problem is to accept the suggestion of Chapman and Cutler (page 7 in red) and have the lst regular session of the 42nd Idaho Legislature validate the organization of the District. This would j hopefully enable us to sell the bonds by March, 1973. I have conferred with Sumner Johnson on this matter and without greater definition as to when bond proceeds will be available, it would be hard to say what effect it would have on the present con- struction schedule. Please call if you or either of the other commissioners have questions. Very truly yours, Jerry I7Nowlin I1 6vestment Officer JLN: mail cc: W. G.

Additionally, through Francis Frost's military connections, we have obtained a tentative commitment from LTC Dale Knox, 321st Engineer Battalion to do much of the labor involved in preparing the area for recreational use.

The Board placed your project as No. 1 on the priority list for funding with Fiscal Year 1973 Land & Water Conservation Funds, contingent upon establishment of a Recreation District and passage of a Bond issue to assure funds at the local level.

The pertinent factors, consid- ering all possibilities of financing, are as follows: (1) Revenue Bond for Golf Course and Swimming Pool A. The City has the legal authority to issue revenue bonds for these purposes. B. The City would have to manage both facilities; otherwise the issue would be construed as an industrial revenue bond, which is illegal in Idaho. C. Any financial support from the Treasure Valley Mall Corporation would have to legally flow through as operating revenues of the facilities. D. The most important factor is that any prospective investors would construe a golf course/swimming pool revenue bond as very marginal; therefore if we were fortunate enough to develop a market for the bonds, the interest rate received would, I'm sure, be almost pro- hibitive (8-82%). The basic rationale applicable in this respect is that municipal golf courses and swimming pools cannot generate sufficient revenues to support their operations and repayment of bond principal and interest. (2) General Obligation Bond for both purposes issued by Meridian A. Meridian does not have the legal capacity to issue a large enough bond with a $2,5 million assessed valuation, upon which there is a 10'/ bonded debt limitation, and even if they could issue enough bonds, it would jeopardize their future bonding capacity for municipal improvements. ex,3baho;W4st7latinnaJAank Mr. Jim Fuller Page 2 February 17, 1972 (3) General Obligation Bond for both purposes issued by the Western Ada County Recreation District A. The District has the capacity to issue a large enough bond with an assessed valuation of $8.3 million (107. bond debt limit), but not the legal authority to issue for a golf course. B. As I mentioned, your attorney is in the process of preparing legislation which can be approved this session, if submitted to the legislature very soon, which will give the District legal power to issue for the purpose of constructing a golf course. C. The project could be self-supporting by the Treasure Valley Mall Corporation, thereby eliminating the need for tax increases. It would be a most attractive package in this respect because of two facts: a general obligation bond of this high quality could be sold in the current bond market for 54 to 52% and a project pre- sented to the District's electorate which doesn't need an increase in taxes would, in all probability, be approved. I will contact you in the near future so as to keep well apprised of the situation. Very truly yours, Jerry L. Nowlin Investment Officer JLN:jb cc: Mr. Iver J. Longeteig Mr. W. G.

APPROVED by the Mayor of the City of Meridian, this 13th day of September, 1971. Mayor attest: City erk Idaho Department of Parks 2261 Warm Springs Avenue Boise, Idaho 83702 Attention: Mr. Kent Ellis Gentlemen: September 17, 1971 Final Swimming Pool Grant Application Subsequent to the Preliminary Grant Application for the City of Meridian's Swimming Pool at Salmon, Idaho on July 29, 1971, a citizen's committee in Meridian, assisted by the City Administration, has been active in petitioning for the formation of the Western Ada Recreation District. It is proposed that this district, when it becomes a legal entity, will implement the necessary bond issue election to finance the local participant's share of the cost of the swimming pool. We are aware that an official approval of this request is not possible from your department until the district has assurance that it can finance it's share of the costs; however in order to pass a bond issue for the local share, we feel it is quite essential that the district's voters know that these grant funds will be available when the bond issue is passed. Therefore, we would request your approval of this request, contingent upon the passage of the bond issue for the balance of the local share. Please find the following items transmitted herewith for presenta- tion to the Idaho Park Board. 1. Completed B. 0. R. Forms 163 and 165. 2. Schedule of Completion. 3.

By )174 Don W.—Store y --, Mayor 7_ -P-3-91 EXHIBIT 3 Statement of Project Scope The proposed project is to be a complete swimming pool facility including pool, deck area, fence, lighting, bath houses, office building, mechanical filtration equipment, heating equipment and full site development including grading, drainage, sanitary sewer service, water service, access road, parking and landscaping. 11 EXHIBIT 4 Answers to Questions Contained in Appendix B, A of Booklet Outdoor Recreation - Aid for Local Participation Question 1. The City of Meridian presently has clear title to the land that is proposed to be used for the swimming pool and said land is to be made available for the recreational district which is to be developed for construction of the proposed facility. Question 2. The total cost for the improvements to be constructed is estimated to be $200,000. Question 3. Time is of the essence. Upon favorable tentative approval of the Board of Outdoor Recreation (BOR) grant, it is proposed that the procedures for creating a recreational district will be immediately implemented to include Meridian and the imme- diate trade area of the community. This will be followed by the necessary bond issue to finance the local half of the improvements. It is hoped that a construction project could be awarded by February 1, 1972, -with the completion of the pool by July 1, 1972. Question 4. The local source of funds to meet the project cost would be a combination of pledges in the amount of $25,000 cash and a recreation district bond issue in the amount of $75,000 which gives a total of $100,000 for the local share of the cost. The advanced payment of the 50 per cent project cost which is to be ultimately reimbursed by BOR grant funds is to be done through the process of a loan, the details yet to be worked out. Question 5. There are no nonrecreational uses of the property. Question 6. The project is to be developed on the basis of the construction to be performed by contract which is to be awarded using the conventional process of competitive bid from plans and speci- cations as prepared by the district's consulting engineer. Question 7. Many civic organizations and community leaders have pledged these contributions amounting to $25,000 towards the constructionf of a community swimming pool contingent upon the balance of the funds being raised in the form of federal grants and a general obligation bond issue. Question 8. The City of Meridian has tentatively agreed with the Meridian Community Swimming Pool Association for the maintenance and operation of the swimming facility. Said maintenance and operation will be funded by utilization of the pool revenue to be supplemented by the general funds of the City of Meridian. Answers to Questions, continued Question 9. Several years ago the Meridian Community Swimming Pool Association initiated this project and had a loan approved through the Farmers Home Administration (FHA). After the loan application was submitted, the Association encountered numerous delays extending for a period of several years and during this interim the State of Idaho adopted new swimming Pool construction standards. Due to a combination of infla- tion as a result of the delays and increased construction cost as a result of higher swimming pool standards, the pro- ject cost estimates were projected to be considerably more than the amount of the FHA loan that was currently approved. Based on the advice from FHA personnel, the Association authorized final plans and specifications and proceeded to call for construction bids without amending their FHA loan application. It was proposed that once the bids were in and the total project costs were tabulated, then the Association would amend its loan application to include the actual amount needed. Two days before the scheduled construction bid open- ing, the federal government discontinued any further or additional loans for swimming pool facilities through the FHA. The net result was that the Association did not have sufficient funds to award the construction project. Question 10. There is a very critical need for a swimming pool facility to serve the City of Meridian and surrounding trade area and, as such, we expect the public to favorably support a bond issue for this facility.

Bodine Herald J. Cox, City Judge September 5, 1969 It is with humility that we come to you for assistance. The com- munity of Meridian has always prided itself in taking care of its own needs. But now we seem to have reached the end of the line in our community swimming pool project. Our citizens and civic groups have pledged approximately $25,000 in cash and have further signed memberships in an association to assure repay- ment of any loan that may be'obtained to finance the project. The project will serve a 200 square mile area of urban and rural communities including Meridian, Kuna, Eagle, Star and the westerly residential area of greater Boise. This area has no swimming facilities now. Besides providing needed recreational facilities, it will permit the teaching of swimming to our young people for water survival during the rest of their lives. The Meridian Community Swimming Pool, Inc. has obtained a loan com- mitment of $100,000 from the Farmers Home Administration for the project. They thought they had an additional $50,000 loan commitment, which is the amount needed before a construction contract (a bid for which was received on August 18) can be awarded. This additional loan was not approved at the last hour. Apparently, the only hope for the Meridian Community Swimming Pool, Inc. to successfully culminate seven years of hard work is an additional loan from FHA. Therefore, we are asking your help in doing all you can for our community to obtain this loan. Thank you very much. i Very truly yours? Don M. Storey, Mayor DMS:ab cc: Mr. J. D.

Local civic groups and citizens at large have contrib- uted approximately $25,000 in cash towards the project.

We need an additional $50,000 FHA loan before we can award a construction contract to the low bidder in accordance with the bid that was received on August 18. The pool is a needed project in Meridian. It will serve an area of about 200 square miles of urban and rural people and includes the communities of Meridian, Kuna, Eagle, Star and the westerly residential area of greater Boise. Naturally, it will not only serve a real recreational need, but also it will permit the teaching of our children the fundamentals of swimming for survival in water. Our citizens have taken out memberships in an association to assure repayment of the FHA loan. We feel that the people have come forth with as much as they possibly can. Meridian has a record of taking care of her own needs,and it is with humility that we say to you: "we need outside help."

Our community has been working for seven years in an effort to build a swimming pool to serve the trade area of Meridian. This area encompasses some 200 square miles of urban and rural communities and includes Meridian, Kuna, Eagle, Star and the westerly residential area of greater Boise. We thought we had reached our goal with all phases of the pool pro- ject in a "go" position until the bottom dropped out last week. After re- ceiving a construction bid, that was well within our projected cost estimates, we were advised by the Farmers Home Administration that supplemental funding for our project had been withdrawn. Because of absolutely no swimming facilities of any kind, we not only are failing in providing needed recreational facilities but are unable to teach our children the needed fundamentals of swimming for survial in water. Our people along with many civic groups have recognized the need for swimming facilities and have generously pledged approximately $25,000 in cash for the project. In addition, they have taken out association memberships to assure the repayment of the loan needed for the balance of the project. Based on present commitments, the Farmers Home Administration can provide us with a loan of $100,000. The Nieridia.n Co =unity Swimming Pool, Inc. needs an additional loan commitment of $50,000 from FHA. We can use all the help you can give us in obtaining the additional loan.

GARDEN CITY ... VOLUME 66. No. 31 MER1DIA ' �"I �6 City adds new areas (P"" Meridian annexes seciions; approves I subdivision plat Meridian city councilmen Monday approved two ordinances., annexing adjoining areas to the city. The ordinances appear as Public Notices in this issue - Annexed by Ordinance 184 were the north side of Cherry Lane from Nest 2nd to West 8th, the Catholic Top students named rectory, the James Stone property, the Roberts property, a portion of Cluff property, and a portion of the roadway at .Meridian Street and Cherry Lane, not previously recorded as being within the city. After the passage of Ordinance 183, attorney James Scanlan formally notified the council that he would protest the annexation on behalf of his clients, owners of Ross Furniture and Elm Grove trailer court. The ordinance includes the store and trailer court, and extends from Cherry Lane Road (Highway 30) south to the line of Gruber Avenue. The city council also approved a plat of a proposed Gregory Subdivision No. 2. The plan includes 31 residential lots, and totals about eight or nine acres, south of the high school. Passed by the council was a resolution providing for a law-enforcement planning agency in Meridian. The resolution is published as a Public Notice in this issue. Officials explained that the action was taken to associate the city with the Omnibus Crime Bill, and to qualify for grants for training, planning, research, nd other points of law enforcement. Swimming pool plans City engineer Sumner Johnson displayed a set of tentative plans for the community swimming pool, to be located in the city park. He said that the plan, as outlined, represented estimated - costs of approximately $142,000 -- an increase, of $17,000 above the original estimate. Attorney John Fitzgerald, an officer of the Meridian Community Swimming Pool, Inc., said that he believed an adjustment could be made in the F.H.A. loan to cover the increase. To date, the F.H.A. has approved a loan of $100,000, with $25,000 to be raised locally. Of that amount, $15,500 was pledged last week by the Meridian Athletic Association Auxiliary. J. D. Pety, president -'of the swimming pool group, said the proposed plans would be studied by the board of directors, and by the recently -appointed three member group of Dale Bates, Wayne Skiver, John Fitzgerald. In connection with the swimming pool 'project, the city council approved granting an option to the pool group for th( purchase of city -owned land in th, park of the pool -site.

McClure. The loan was obtained by the Meridian Community Swimming Pool, Inc. J. D. Petty, president of the group, said the pool would be located on land at the Meridian city park. He said the project would include the pool, dressing rooms, deck area, sidewalks, chain-link fence, bleachers, parking area, and landscaping, plus construction of necessary roadways. Total cost $125,000 Total cost of the project will be approximately $125,000, of which $25,000 will be paid by the local association. Mr. Petty said that details of the major part of the local funds will be announced soon. Under the plan, there will be at least 100 members of the swimming pool group, which will be a non-profit organization. In addition to Petty as president, officers include Wayne Skiver, vice president; John O. Fitzgerald, secretary; and George Judd, treasurer. Memberships will be sold beginning immediately, at $10. FHA loan regulations require that two-thirds of the members be rural residents or farmers. (Under the regulations, "rural" applies to all the valley area, including Meridian, excluding only the area within the city limits of Boise.) Ralph Hunter has been named membership chairman for the project. The swimming pool will be designed to serve the entire area. With a total population of 26,000 in the area, about 3,000 are expected to use the pool each year. Many jobs involved In addition to the community benefit from the pool, the construction will provide 2,200 man -days of labor -- for carpenters, grading crews, masons, electricians, and others. "Recreation projects of this kind boost area development," said Mr. Petty. "The pool will provide a much-needed recreational facility for . all the families in our community."

Director The Idaho Parks Board, at their recent quarterly meeting in Burley, Idaho, rescinded a policy which disallowed swimming pools and golf courses from participation in the Land and Water Conservation Fund program. Applications for these projects will be considered for funding at the next Board meeting which is scheduled for July. As you are probably aware, the Land and Water program provides 50% reimbursement for costs incurred in the acquisition and/or develop- ment of land for outdoor recreation purposes. A shortage of funds in past years caused the Board to eliminate swimming pools and golf course projects from participation in the program because of their relatively high cost. Also, these projects rate rather low on the basis of priority criterea established for the program. An antici- pated significant increase in funds for the coming fiscal year prompted the Board to change their policy. If you are considering any type of Outdoor Recreation project and desire financial assistance please contact the Idaho Department of Parks for information concerning the Land and Water Conservation Fund program. �jSincerely, Wilhelm Me Beckert Director cb "V I S I T I D A H O S T A T E P A R K S" June 1, 1965 Senator Frank F.
