Corridor Phase 2 Project with Ada County Highway District

Request for the Not-To-Exceed Amount of $2,526,584.00

Hoaglun: 5-C.
De Weerd: Well, see, I'm -- this cold medicine. I apologize. Item 5.
Hoaglun Item 5.
De Weerd: 5-C.
Hoaglun; Keith?
Watts: Good evening, Madam Mayor, Council Members. Back in December the ACRD
agreement for the split corridor phase two was brought to Council for approval and the
dollar amount stated on the agenda and recorded in the meeting minutes was the actual
dollar amount of the ACHD contract. The backup paperwork that was submitted with
the agreement had all the correct documentation in there and there was three additional
items that were requested. When I received my purchase order request I caught this
that the dollar amount didn't match the amount on the agenda and the minutes and the
difference on that was a ten percent contingency, the city's share of the alternate
business access that were put in, and also the city's share of the contractor incentive.
So, I just wanted to bring this back to your attention and get this stated for the record
that the request for the purchase order is for the amount of 2,526,584 dollars. That
includes the original construction bid amount of 2,024 -- or $2,024,167.42, which is the
amount that was placed on the December 11th agenda and, then, the contingency
amount of $202,416.58, 125,000 dollars for the city's share of the alternate business
access, 175,000 dollars for the contractor incentive for the city's share of that. This
documentation provided to you originally on the December 11th agenda and this dollar
amount is included in the budget for this year.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, any questions on this item? I would entertain a motion.
Zaremba: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.

Item 8: ®epartment Reports
A. Fire ®epartment: Budget Amendment for Public
Education/Prevention for a Blot-to-Exceed Amount of
$19,970.00
De Weerd: Item 7 -- or 8-A is under our Fire Department. I will turn this over to Chief
Amenn.
Amenn: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Council. We are coming before you tonight to ask
for a budget amendment in the amount of 19,950 dollars. This is money that we
received last year in the form of cash donations from a number of agencies, the
Walmart Foundation, the Light My Fire Foundation, and private citizens. We received a
Federal Emergency Management grant at the end of last year to fund our smoke
detector program and that consumed all of our time with our public education efforts.
We didn't want to spend that money foolishly without having a purpose for it, so we were
able to put that into the General Fund to save that for now. We have developed a
program .which we would like to spend that.money for and are asking for.an amendment
to bring it back out of the General Fund.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, questions for the chief? Thank you. Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move we approve the budget amendment for the Fire Department for public
education and prevention for the amount of 19,970 dollars.
Zaremba: Second.
De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to approve Item 8-A. I will call roll.
Roll Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, absent; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea.
De Weerd: All ayes. Motion carried.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. ONE ABSENT..
Hoaglun: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes.
Hoaglun: I forgot to ask Chief Amenn -- the Light My Fire you mentioned that in the
report. That is coming up again in February; do you know when --
Amenn: Yes. February 9th.
Meridian City Council
January 15, 2013
Page 9 of 16
Hoaglun: February 9th.
Amenn: Yes. There are still tickets available. It funds a lot of the fire prevention
education activities we do throughout the valley.
Hoaglun: Okay. Great. Thank you.
De Weerd: And, certainly, as has been noted, Meridian has benefited from these
fundraising efforts and it's greatly appreciated. So, as I gave you all an invitation when
they were here before, certainly we would love to see you all there in attendants. And
spending your money, by the way.
B. Legal Department: Discussion of Resolution for Impact Fee
Postponement for Joint School District No 2
De Weerd: Okay. Item 7 -- or 8-B is under our Legal Department. I will turn this over to
Mr. Nary.
Nary: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. We have been actively
.engaged. in .conversations with the Joint .School District No. 2 in .regards .use.. of their
facilities and also their payment of various fees for development applications for
different buildings and the like. We have been working that agreement and we have
reached a circumstance currently that we wanted to bring to your attention and get
some direction. There is a project that they I think have submitted because there is
some time element that is critical and this is an elementary school in the northwestern
portion of the city. I think it's called Willowcreek Elementary and because we are in the
midst of these negotiations we haven't finalized the specifics of what fees we may be
willing to set off or versus the uses of their facilities in relation to that. We don't have
any finality to that, but we wanted to ask your direction of whether or not it would be
appropriate for us to bring aresolution -- and we can certainly do it one of two ways.
We can do a resolution specific to this one project with the school district or we can
bring one that may anticipate other projects over the next several months and I don't
honestly know specifically if they have a bunch waiting for us to -- to bring them forward
or not, but what we wanted to know if it would be appropriate to bring a resolution to
suspend the collection of some of the fees and I think Mr. Chatterton may have some --
some feedback as well in trying to determine what specifics -- I mean there is certain
fees that we collect that we could certainly suspend the collection of at the outset, like
impact fees, they pay us some of our impact fees for schools, they don't pay all of them.
But we also have development fees. Some of them are things that have a hard cost to
them that may be difficult for us to even suspend at the outset for the Public Works
portions of development, but some of them are things that are based on fees that we
pay our contractors and inspectors, some of them are fees that we pay for staff review
and such. So, our thought was to bring a resolution for you for at least the individual
project with the ability to suspend the fees that do not need to be collected now, that we
anticipate an agreement coming forward to you in the next few months. If it doesn't
Meridian City Council
January 15, 2013
Page 10 of 16
~ come forward, if we can't reach resolution on an agreement, then, the fees would be
owed at a later point in time, whether at the certificate of occupancy stage or some
other point. But that was -- that was our mind set. Like I said, I think we -- Bruce and I
have had a couple conversations about it and we have talked about it as a group with
our senior leadership in trying to get the specifics it might be problematic from a
resolution standpoint to do that. But if you're comfortable with us bringing a resolution
just saying we are going to not collect the fees, we will calculate them, we will certainly
hold them off, but it's really just trying to determine what we could not collect up front
and which things maybe need to be collected for it to move forward. And I may have
butchered that, Bruce, so you can certainly clear that up if that's okay. But that's the
direction we are seeking is if it be all right with the Council if we were to bring a
resolution like that so we can continue to move the project forward, because they do
have some time limitations on when they need to get the school built and opened.
Chatterton: And, Madam Mayor and Council Members, Mr. Nary said it very well. Our
understanding in principle -- of course the decision is yours, but our discussion with the
school district has really resulted in a recognition from the school district staff that we do
have, quote, unquote, hard costs, the contractors, the staff time. Really, it would be
what we would charge for the building permit minus what we pay to the contractors.
And that's the number that's a little hard to nail down, because they are different for the
different individual contracts that we .have negotiated with. -- with our various outsource
providers. So, yeah, I just wanted to clarify that.
De Weerd: And generally, Bruce, don't you know that upon application with the
information on square footage and that sort of thing, you can calculate what our
inspectors would be getting, what those hard costs would be?
Chatterton: Yes, Mayor. Once we have the permit in front of us we can make those
calculations. Without the permit drawings in front of us it's pretty much a shot in the
dark as far as what those costs would be.
De Weerd: Well, certainly I know that staff has expended significant time on this
conversation, including our director Mr. Siddoway. It's all the taxpayer dollars and we --
we do like to see that we make their dollar go as far as possible, especially in this day
and age. So, what you're suggesting is to bring back a resolution and detail on what
those hard costs would be and so what specifically would be waived on this particular
item -- or application and we will look at a longer term and I think, Mr. Nary, if
remember correctly, the school district and ACRD have reached a similar resolution
where ACRD does not charge them any impact fees.
Nary: That is -- Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, that is correct. We looked in
some of the language. It might be a little broad for what we are looking for, because I
think they waived all fees on both sides. Here there are some costs that, obviously, we
can't. So, I think some of it is going to be a little bit different, but for the purposes of the
resolution I think we are just looking at suspending as much as possible so that they
can move it forward without delay.
Meridian City Council

Chatterton: And Mayor and Council Members, Steve just reminded me there is a
second project coming in and that's a major renovation to Meridian High. So, I'm sure
that --
De Weerd: So needed.
Chatterton: So, I'm sure there is a sense of urgency from the school district on this.
De Weerd: And so if we don't have the paperwork to do it for the longer term, we will
probably have to do that by specific resolution as well.
Nary: Yes.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, any questions?
Hoaglun: Yeah, Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: Under 8-C there .is a.resolution there.. Bill, what resolution is that parti.cula.r
one?
Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Council Member Hoaglun. That's the
resolution that we were hoping to have for you to review tonight, but we have kind of hit
a snag on trying to get the language correct on whether it's a single project or more, so
there is no resolution behind that, so we can take that off and bring that back hopefully
next week I think is our intent.
Hoaglun: So, are you just looking for a consensus among Council to -- for this single
project to -- to move forward? Collect hard costs, but waive the soft costs --
Nary: And suspend --
Hoaglun: To suspend. Yes. Suspend is the right word. Thank you.
De Weerd: So, we would look for a motion as such and next week we would come back
with a resolution affirming what your action is this evening. That way when the school
district comes in we can tell them we had the motion and direction by Council and the
resolution would confirm that next week.
Zaremba: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: I don't know if this helps to clarify or not, but I just wanted to comment -- you
Meridian City Council
January 15, 2013
Page 12 of 16
__ you made the comment that it's all the taxpayers' money and I know it's been said in
different pieces, but -- but the whole point of this, as I understand it, is among many of
our local governments there are these no exchange fee agreements, because
administrative time to bill and collect is something that we all can save and we are
serving the same constituency and the same taxpayers and the underlying agreement
that we are talking about is an agreement between the city and the Joint School District
No. 2 to find those fees that we don't need to charge each other with the assumption
this is a two way street. There are some things they don't charge us for, which they
have been charging and some things we won't charge them and I am very much in favor
of that. I hope that is worked out. The question at the moment is a fee that might be
due before that's worked out and do we want to put that off and that's really what the
question is tonight. Before there is a final agreement on what we are not going to
charge each other, if something comes up would we not waive, but at least suspend
and very possibly the new agreement would waive it -- a fee and I'm in favor of that and
I would suggest the consensus that we have a resolution on that to vote on next week.
De Weerd: Mr. Chatterton or Mr. Siddoway, did you have something to add?
Chatterton: Madam Mayor, Council Member Zaremba, yeah, you make a good point.
think that -- I don't know the exact language for the resolution, what I hope it says, as
opposed to specific nt,imbers, is it says that the.-- I'm talking about building permit fees
here, as opposed to impact fees -- that the building permit fees to be paid will be those
that we pay to our contractors. So, we are really -- really, it's the building permit fee for
that particular item, less our hard costs and, hopefully, we can come up with language
which describes that well enough, so that they know what is required and we do, too.
And until we have the -- the actual plans it's difficult to -- as I said it's a bit of a shot in
the dark.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Bruce, we don't have the -- they haven't applied for the permit yet, have they, for
Willowcreek?
Chatterton: Madam Mayor, Council Member Bird, I don't believe they actually have
applied as yet.
Bird: I think if we get this done within the next week we will be fine. And I'm in
agreement, let's get it taken care of and waive everything, but hard costs.
De Weerd: Well, thank you, and I know they do want to file the plans. They have been
kind of waiting for what Council's decision is on this. They didn't want to -- to submit
their plans and upon submittal need to pay the fees. So, they are just waiting for the
discussion by you all.

Bird: We don't make them pay the fee before they submit -- or when they submit.
Chatterton: Madam Mayor, Council Member, they are normally due at the time the
permit is pulled. So, after the review takes place.
Bird: The permit is pulled.
Chatterton: That's correct.
Bird: So, they got some time.
De Weerd: Okay. Well, Council, we will await your direction.
Hoaglun: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: I'm in agreement we need to take a close look at this thing. I think we are on
the right track. We will let staff finalize the language. So, I would move that we
suspend the collection of fees for Willowcreek and await staff action on a resolution that
will be returned to. us for f~~ture action.
