Item 7: Action Items
A. Public Hearing: TEC 13-003 Bellingham Park Subdivision by
Conger Management Group Located Approximately 1/4 Mile
East of S. Locust Grove Road and Approximately 1/4 Mile
North of E. Amity Road Request: Two (2) Year Time Extension
on the Preliminary Plat for Bellingham Park Subdivision in
Order to Obtain the City Engineer's Signature on a Final Plat
De Weerd: So, we will move into Item 7-A, which is a public hearing on TEC 13-003.
will open this public hearing with staff comments.
Hood: Thank you, Madam Mayor. I'm pinch hitting tonight. Not Raul Ibanez as we
referenced last week, but I will try to make you on base and cover it nicely for Bill
anyways in staff's presentation of Bellingham Park time extension. The subject property
consists of 11.5 acres, currently zoned R-8 in the city. This is the third time extension
requested for the subject plat and therefore, it requires Council action. There are three
new -- excuse me -- four new conditions that we -- that staff is recommending be
included with the original conditions of approval for this project. They have to do with
revised performance surety policies, the warranty surety policy, our new street lighting
standard and Public Works has a condition, the applicant needs to be responsible for
extending a 21 inch sewer trunk line to and through development. I do have a letter
back from the applicant saying they are in agreement with the new conditions of
approval contained in the staff report and with that, Madam Mayor, I will stand for any
questions you may have on this time extension.
De Weerd: Thank you, Caleb. Council, any questions?
Bird: I have none.
Rountree: None.
De Weerd: Is the applicant -- hi, Kent.
Brown: Madam Mayor, Members of the City Council, my name is Kent Brown. My
address is 3161 East Springwood, Meridian, Idaho. Brad adequately covered the
conditions that have been added and we are in agreement. We have an engineer under
contract and he's designing plans and it's -- they haven't been submitted. They will be

soon. To my understanding at least from Conger Management. So, stand for any
questions.
De Weerd: Thank you. Council, any questions?
Bird: I have none.
Rountree: I have none.
Brown: Thank you.
De Weerd: This is a public hearing. Is there anyone who would like to offer testimony
on this item? Okay. If you will, please, come forward. I'm sorry, I didn't see your
hands. If you would, please, state your name and address for the record. Either one.
Howard: Good evening, Madam Mayor and Council Members. My name is Charlie
Howard. I'm a resident -- address is 3010 East Deerhill Drive here in Meridian. I
actually live in the Tuscany Subdivision and had some questions and comments and
concerns about Bellingham and the plat number four that I'd like to raise and Ihave --
there are additional homeowners that may have some other items they would like to talk
about. As we looked through some of the information that's been provided through a
conscientious search on our parts as homeowners in the Tuscany Subdivision, we
come across some of the information that relates to Bellingham that you may or may not
know. Bellingham and Tuscany as designed in this current plan actually meet and
intersect at the intersection of Deerhill, which would be on your map kind of the upper
right-hand side of your map. I don't have a plat in front me. At one time it was called
Rainwood Drive. It's been amended, apparently, to be Deerhill Drive, which is a
continuation of a street that's part of Tuscany and, then, also part of Bellingham. What
we had concerns about in our neighborhood, among other items, are there was a traffic
study done for Bellingham that's on file with the city, dated July 22nd, 2004. On that
traffic study it does not include any of the interfaces that go towards the interior of the
neighborhood. As you may know, Tuscany has some nice amenities, including the
Sienna Middle -- Sienna K through six elementary school, as well as a city park. So,
there was no study done on the effect of traffic flowing through -- well, the traffic study
itself only talks about traffic flowing out of Bellingham, not through Bellingham into
Tuscany and down the street of Deerhill where I reside. So, I would respectfully request
that part of this extension include a new traffic study for the city to be able to undertake
or the developer to undertake, so that we can understand the impact of traffic on our
street. The effect it will have on home ownership, as well as safety concerns. That's
one of the straightest paths through Tuscany. I don't know if you guys are aware of
Tuscany, but most of the streets are fairly curved. This one is not, because it's along
the Ridenbaugh Canal -- in that area. So, it's a pretty straight shot and so there is some
definite safety concerns among the homeowners and so would also request that -- that
that be considered, that that street not actually continue between the two subdivisions.
Maybe the developer can recover another lot for sale -- for resale, but allow maybe a
pedestrian path or bike access. Thank you.

De Weerd: Thank you. Council, any questions?
Rountree: I have none.
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Appreciate your testimony. Additional testimony? You would need to say it
on the public record. Good evening. If you will, please, state your name and address
for the record.
Scott: My name is Roger Scott and I live at 2374 East Deerhill Drive.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Scott: Just up the street from Charlie. Charlie came to me maybe a week or two ago
about his concerns. I was unaware of the connection that was going to be made
between the two developments. When I purchased my home I may have not -- I had a
lot of things going on. I was getting married. I had a new job and building a house, so
my initial concern wasn't necessarily what was going to happen in the future and looking
forward I should have done that, because there was this connection. I believe that our
street will become -- you know, more traffic flow on our street, as well as our -- I believe
it will affect our housing property values and my wife and I are planning to have children
in the future and we have children living across the street. A lot of children play on that
street, as well as many other streets in the neighborhood, but I think Charlie stated it
pretty well, but just wanted to voice my concern.
De Weerd: I appreciate that. Any questions from Council?
Rountree: I have none.
De Weerd: Thank you very much. Any other testimony? Yes, sir. Good evening.
Gerving: My name is Josh Gerving. I live at 2320 East Deerhill Drive and I don't have
anything further to stay, I just want to concur with the two previous gentlemen and give
my support for them. Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you. Sorry to make you come up here.
Schoenfeld: No. No. Tamara Schoenfeld, 4105 South Marsala Avenue and I live on
the corner of Deerhill and Marsala. I also concur with what they have stated and we
would like to see at a minimum if there could be a new traffic study completed and -- to
try and address some of our concerns with the interior traffic flow. Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you very much. Caleb, do you want to explain what can be asked
from Council during a time extension request, what the city can consider.
Meridian City Council
May 28, 2013
Page 7 of 23
Hood: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, it is a final plat. As it stated there is a
traffic impact study. Certainly you can -- anything that's in our current code you can
certainly require the applicant. We do, in concurrence with ACHD, require traffic impact
studies for large projects. Quite honestly, with the information, if you were to go that
route and do a traffic study to see what the implications may be -- as you know, we don't
control all of the traffic, so that really would be to the benefit of the highway district if
there is any benefit to looking at a traffic study. But it is within your purview if you
wanted to -- some time has elapsed -- almost ten years since the traffic impact study. It
certainly is in the realm of possibility for you to continue this out to have the applicant do
a traffic impact study. I don't think that that's the right thing to do in this instance, but it
is certainly something that the Council could potentially do. Again, Madam Mayor, the
only thing in current code requires -- traffic impact studies are something that originally
was part of this project and another option -- again, not something I would recommend
necessarily, but you could deny the time extension, that makes them go through the
whole process again. That is one of the reasons to have a time extension and to have
this is when time elapses between a project being approved and getting recorded. If the
community has changed that is an opportunity to reevaluate to see if it's still the right
project in the right location. So, again, not something Iwould -- if you asked me that I
would necessarily recommend, but that is something that is on the table for Council to
consider.
Zaremba: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: Just in looking at the display which is on the screen for everybody to see and
in front of us as well, the existing subdivision, the street that they are talking about is a
stub street and while we don't control the streets, Ada County Highway District does,
they intentionally put stub streets where they expect a connection to be made. If that
were not a stub street it would have a cul-de-sac turnaround big enough for a fire truck
and trash trucks and so forth. Clearly they intended that to be a connection through
and the advantage of having multiple connections is that it spreads the traffic out. The
more dead ends you have the more difficulty it makes for traffic to get around and the
more difficult traffic is on the few remaining streets that receive the traffic. So, I would
not be inclined to say that we need a new traffic study. That actually is the purview of
Ada County Highway District, but I would say the decision has already been made that
that stub street will connect -- will be a connectivity and I personally wouldn't change
that.
De Weerd: Thank you. Council -- Kent. Sorry. I almost forgot to give you the last
word.
Brown: Again for the record Kent Brown, 3161 Springwood. I'm in a unique situation
here, because I have actually represented both subdivisions. I did the design for all of
Tuscany. I did all of the design for the portion that they are talking about in Messina
Meridian City Council

Page 8 of 23
Meadows, which required a traffic studied of us. It was also interesting at P&Z and City
Council that we also came before this body at that time -- at the same time. So, it was
anticipated -- this hasn't changed. It's always been this way. We stubbed at this
location and it was coordinated so that -- as you can see from our plat, you enter from
the southwest side of Bellingham Four and we cross the creek at that location. There
isn't any other connection that crosses the creek and so we have one way in on the
west side and we have one way out on the east side, connecting to the stubs that have
been provided between the two. It was also interesting that the two engineering firms
that were doing that -- I was working with one and, then, went to work for the other, but
they coordinated so that they were locating the stubs at the right location. Bellingham
actually came in first. They had to do some redesign stuff and Messina Meadows that
these folks live in was just a little bit ahead of it, but when it came to being at the
hearings, the Council, the Commission, there hasn't been any change, it has always
been the same, so it wasn't even a space of six months it was -- they were at the same
hearing being approved. So, hopefully, that answers the question. Typically ACHD
takes ten vehicle trips for every single family residential lot and, then, they are going to
split them trying to decide which direction they are going to go and the local streets take
a lot more access. It will be different than what these people are used to on a dead end
street in that location, but it won't tax that road too much, so -- I will stand for any
questions.
Zaremba: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: Are you aware of whether or not the typical barricade is in place on the end
of that stub street?
Brown: There is not a sign that says that it will be extended in the future.
Zaremba: It does have the sign that says --
Brown: It does not.
De Weerd: No, it doesn't.
Zaremba: It does not have it? Okay.
Brown: It does on the Bellingham side, but not on the Tuscany side, to my knowledge --
recollection.
Hoaglun: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes.
Meridian City Council
May 28, 2013
Page 9 of 23
Hoaglun: But I tried to do a count here, but -- there is going to be, what, 47 homes in
this --
Brown: Thirty-one.
Hoaglun: It's an odd shaped --
Brown: Triangular piece.
Hoaglun: -- triangular piece. Yeah. Rather unusual. And it looks like the main access,
then, would be off South Locust Grove, as you said, East Wrightwood Drive and, of
course, we always require a secondary accesses for emergency vehicles in case there
is one that's blocked off, we require that as part of the city code, so there would
definitely have to be two, so --
Brown: The park was a part of that original application and the school had already
previously been located and so those would have been calculated in those traffic
numbers also. Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you, Kent. Council, any further information you need from the
applicant, staff, or any of the neighbors?
Zaremba: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: I move we close the public hearing on TEC 13-003.
Rountree: Second.
De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to close the public hearing on Item 7-A. All
those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carried.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Zaremba: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: I move we approve TEC 13-003 with the four conditions added by staff.
Rountree: Second.
De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to approve Item 7-A. Council, do you have
any discussion?

Rountree: Madam Mayor, just a comment with respect to the traffic. That was looked
at and Kent did a good recall of what went on in the planning of the subdivisions out
there. It's unfortunate that it all doesn't get built at once, but we were fortunate in this
instance that it all got planned together. Those roads are there and meant to go
through to provide continuity and connectivity in neighborhoods. These folks who will
live in this area will want to utilize the park, they will want to go west through another
neighborhood. And, likewise, the neighborhoods on either side will commute back and
forth. So, that's part of what we try to do in looking at transportation systems within
these large blocks of development, to connect them to the communitywide resources
and institutions that are there and connect them amongst their neighbors. I think we --
again, Iwill state again I think we were fortunate when we looked at this whole section
together and to me I'm glad to see it finally come to completion.
De Weerd: I think that one thing that has happened since this all transpired is those
dead end streets, we have asked ACHD to start signing them that they will be extended
in the future, because I don't think a lot of homeowners did realize that and so we
started making those a condition. But I think that was far after this development was --
was approved. So, any further discussion from Council? 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.

C. FP 13-022 Accolade Subdivision by Idaho Survey Group
Located South of E. Overland Road and West of S. Bonito
Way, Between E. Blue Horizon Drive and the Ridenbaugh
Canal Request: Final Plat Consisting of One (1)Multi-Family
Residential Building Lot and One (1) Common Lot on
Approximately 11.23 Acres of Land in an R-40 Zoning District
De Weerd: Item 7-C is final plat 13-002. I will ask for staff comments.
Hood: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. Again, this is a project that
Bill Parsons wrote the staff report for, but I will give the presentation this evening. The
-- excuse me. The application that's on your agenda is for the final plat. I will just let
you know that there is a private street application that is also tied in with this -- this
project. This is an 11.23 acre site, zoned R-40, located south of Overland, west of
Bonito Way and between Blue Horizon and the Ridenbaugh Canal. The proposed final
plat consists of amulti-family lot and a common lot. The Accolade Subdivision was
approved by the City Council on February 7th, 2012. Council also approved the CUP
that allowed the lot to develop with 276 multi-family units. The proposed common lots,
per the landscape facade include part of the common lots developed with Gramercy
Subdivision No. 1 and as I mentioned a private street proposed within the project. The
internal connectivity is the same as the preliminary plat. The number of building lots is
the same. Common open space is the same. And staff finds that the proposed plat is
in substantial compliance with the project that Council approved in 2002. Similar to the
last project, we also have a written correspondence from the applicant stating that they
are in agreement with the conditions as proposed in the staff report. With that, Madam
Mayor, I'd stand for any questions.
De Weerd: Thank you, Caleb. Any questions from Council?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Is the applicant here? We do have a letter that they agreed with staff's
report. Council, any further information you need on this item?

Item 8 Department Reports
A. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Project and
Activity Prioritization for Program Year 2013
De Weerd: Item 8-A is under our CDBG. I will turn this over to Lori.
Den Hartog: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. I'm here tonight to
present recommendations from the Community Development Block Grant scoring
committee and going over kind of the preliminary stage to our annual action plan
process. So, for the upcoming program year, which is program year 2013, which is
scheduled to begin on October 1, our estimated entitlement amount is 243,000. We
have not received notice from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
what our grant amount will be for the coming year. Based on the information that we
have preliminarily received from HUD we are estimating a five percent reduction from
our current year's allocation. If that number is different as we move forward, I may
come back to Council and if it's up or down and request some additional guidance and
direction from you, depending on what that final number will look like and based on the
estimate our public services are capped at -- they are always capped at 15 percent, so
our estimated allocations for public service type projects is just over 36,000.
Administration is capped at 20 percent. Ten percent was last year. Staff is
recommending an allocation of 18 percent, which is approximately 43,000. Our
application process involved a workshop where we invited past applicants and potential
future applicants to come to the city and meet with staff to discuss possible projects and
what types of projects would fit in with the city's plan for use of these grant dollars. So,
applicants are required to submit a full application. The projects were scored and
ranked by an internal scoring committee. They were scored on the following: The goals
and outcomes of the proposed projects. The need in the community that the project
addressed. How the organization plans to carry out their proposed projects. Their
capacity to do that. And how the project would or would not meet the goals and
objectives of the city's consolidated plan, which is our five year plan for use of these
dollars. And just a refresher, the national program goals and objectives are to provide
decent, safe, sanitary housing, provide a suitable living environment, to expand and
participate in economic opportunities. The national objectives of the program are to
benefit low to moderate income persons, to aid in the prevention or elimination of slums
or blight and to meet an urgent need. The city's consolidated plan, we have three main
strategies to improve access to affordable housing opportunity for Meridian residents,
Meridian City Council
May 28, 2013
Page 13 of 23
to support services, programs and projects for the city's low to moderate income
residents, including persons with special needs and residents at risk of homelessness.
The first strategy is to improve economic opportunities in the city's LMI areas. So, with
that I'd like to cover the applications that we received this year. We received four
applications, so four requests for projects that fell under the public service category.
The requested total was just over 101,000 dollars. And, again, available funding is just
over 36,000. So, substantially less than what was requested. Based on the
applications that were submitted and the scores that those applications received, the
committee recommended partial funding for two of those submitted applications. I'd like
to briefly go over the four applications that we received and, then, the recommended
funding level. And so we received an application from the Meridian Food Bank to
purchase food and that food would be distributed through the facilities down on
Broadway to hungry families and to children in need in Meridian. The second
application was from the Boys and Girls Club in Meridian, a scholarship program. They
requested 25,000 to provide scholarships on a sliding scale based on income levels for
programs that are fee based at the club. So, these programs are the Summer Early
Risers program, the Meridian Sunshine Club, and the Meridian kindergarten program.
These programs cost an additional amount above and beyond the club membership
dues, which are pretty low for the annual fees and they provide an important service to
working parents, particularly before and after school or during the summer. The
Salvation Army. This was a new application that we received this year. We have never
had the Salvation Army apply. They applied for case management for the Finally Home
rapid rehousing program of homeless families. The Finally Home program is a
transition in place program for homeless residents. The Salvation Army operates this
program within the City of Boise. They have experienced some good success with it.
They are moving away from the model of having homeless shelters and providing
housing first and, then, intensive case management for homeless individuals that need.
assistance. It's an approach to ending homelessness that's had some good success.
And, then, finally, the last application that we received was from Open Lines Training for
the senior job training and placement program. This is a program to provide job
refresher and training and job placement for Meridian seniors. We did fund this project
last year and they are having some success with their project this year. Based on the
scores that we did receive and the estimated amount that we have, staff has -- or,
excuse me, the committee is recommending a funding level of just over 26,000 dollars
for the Meridian Food Bank and 11,000 dollars for the Boys and Girls Club. The Boys
and Girls Club requested 25 -- as you can see the request is -- both of these agencies
have indicated they can make use of any amount of funds that we would be able -- that
we would be able to provide through this grant. For the nonpublic service application
we received seven requests for a total of just over 262,000 dollars. Based on the other
caps and things that we had, the available funding for these types of projects is just over
163,000. Have a little bit of a unique situation this year for our nonpublic service
applications. Based on the scores that the applications received the scoring committee
recommended funding on only two of the applications for a total of 120 -- just over
127,000 dollars. So, you see that that's less than what we have available and I will
provide an explanation along the way as we discuss these projects. So, the first few
applications that we received were from the Meridian Parks and Recreation
Meridian City Council
May 28, 2013
Page 14 of 23
Department. The first for a restroom facility at Centennial Park for 91,000 and the
second for a picnic shelter at 8th Street Park for just over 36,000. Those are both
pretty straight forward projects. The third application we received was for Liberty
Housing Service for an application and rehab and at the request of 25,000, they have
not proposed this project to us before. It's a project that they currently operate. They
have other funding sources that they utilize. The way that they propose the use of the
25,000 was to be combined with other funds that they had to purchase one single family
home in Meridian to rehab that home and to sell it to an eligible low to moderate income
family. One of the -- there is a couple of reasons that the scoring committee did not
recommend that application for funding. It opens us up to the possibility of program
income, which is something that greatly increases our administrative oversight and time
into the future for tracking and things like that and some of it is -- some if it is a little bit
of a learning curve, but need something we can continue in discussion with
Neighborhood Housing Services. They have other funding sources to operate this
program. They haven't implemented it in Meridian yet. They are currently doing
acquisition and rehab type projects in Boise, but that may be something we continue to
explore with them in the future. The next two are ones that you're familiar with. Both
Neighborhood Housing Services and Ada County Housing Authority applied for down
payment assistance. These funds, as you know, are used to provide an additional
source of down payment funds for low to moderate income families purchasing a home
in Meridian -- anywhere in Meridian. These two applicants, because of the current
market that we are in, and the tightening of credit and the type of applicants that they
are receiving it's been more difficult for the folks that they are assisting to receive -- I
just totally lost my train of thought. Sorry. To obtain a loan and, therefore, to utilize the
down payment assistance. So, the other part of that that we have had some carryover
funds from both of these -- from both of these activities from previous years. We have
funded the down payment assistance program each year that we have had our grant.
Neighborhood Housing Services has 21,000 remaining in their line of credit with us and
Ada County Housing Authority has just over 27,000 remaining in their line of credit with
us. So, there is still funds available for those entities to carry out the down payment
assistance program. The committee thought that it would be good to maybe take a year
off from that, let them get those funds spent and, then, reevaluate next year if they
decide to reapply. A little bit of the same situation with the next application. That was
from the Meridian Development Corporation for the fapade improvement program. They
have requested 30,000 dollars. Two years ago we allocated 40,000 dollars to this
program. The Meridian Development Corporation has took a little bit of time to get this
project off the ground. They are making progress. To date they still have 39,000 in
their line of credit and that can be a little bit -- a little bit deceptive. They have other
projects underway and the way it works is the property owners go out and get the -- get
the work completed, they pay for it, they wait for reimbursement from MDC and, then,
MDC waits for reimbursements from us. So, there is a little bit of a time lag. In their
current agreement with MDC they have to have all of their existing funds at least
allocated, they don't have to be spent, but they have to be allocated by July 1 of this
year. In conversations with their program manager, Ms. Ashley Ford, she stated that
they thought they could reach that goal and have all of their existing funds allocated.
So, the scoring committee similar to the two down payment assistance programs, we
Meridian City Council
May 28, 2013
Page 15 of 23
thought it would be good to get those funds spent and to see those entities use what
they have existing and, then, perhaps to reevaluate in a future year. And, then, the last
application that we received was the Meridian Development Corporation submitted an
application for 10,000 dollars for way finding signage and this would be to design and
install signs in the downtown core area consistent with MDC's plans. This application
did not score high enough to receive funding and one of the primary reasons for that
was it wasn't particularly clear how it met a national objective or one of our five year
plan consolidated goals. So, that's a little bit about each of those applications. One of
the things that I wanted to talk to you about -- and it was certainly a concern of our
scoring committee and as far as you can see the two projects that we have
recommended for funding are to projects submitted by our Parks and Recreation
Department. So, the committee was concerned about the perception that we have
other folks applying and that we are funding two city projects and looking back over the
years -- over the six years that we've had the grant of the nonpublic service applications
it has not been unusual. The types of -- the other applicants that we have funded are
the ones that you can see before you be funded, projects through MDC and, then, we
funded the down payment assistance program and other than that all of the other
projects have been city projects and part of that is the nature of the projects that qualify
for the nonpublic service applications. By the very definition most of them are
undertaken by a government entity or aquasi-government entity. So, that is certainly --
that's certainly part of it. And the other component is the housing projects that other
cities may undertake with -- with these grant dollars. Frankly, our grant isn't large
enough to do -- to undertake some of those other types of projects. So, while our
committee has concerns about that, we still felt that -- that our recommendation was
solid based on the applications that we received and the scores that those applications
received, at least for this year. And, again, that doesn't preclude any of these applicants
from applying again in future years and that was certainly -- that was certainly the
feeling of the body at that time. So, what we are left with is an interesting situation that
we haven't had before. Based on our estimate, then, with the two projects that were
recommended for funding, we have remaining 36,000 dollars. So, there are a couple of
options that can go to option two as I start drafting our annual action plan as we move
forward. One of the options -- and I have had discussions with Nampa and Boise how
they handle this when they don't have a specific project at the time of the drafting their
action plan, they have stated that they identify a general type of project and come back
at a later date with specific options. So, that is one option before you this evening for
the remaining funds of approximately 36,000. So, one option would be to draft the
annual action plan, stating that we will construct one public facility improvement project
in the LMI area and, then, come back to Council at a later date, probably by December
or January, which is usually when we get our grant funds anyway. With a couple
options for Council to consider. So, some of those types of projects they could include
water and sewer project design, could include public art, sidewalk construction, street
lightening and I don't have anything specific at this time, this is just to give you a flavor
for what we could possibly spend the dollars on. And we would propose working with
other city departments and other agencies, through ACHD, MDC, and other public
entities to see if there is something that maybe we can collaborate on and propose and
work together. And there are options that Council can direct me to this evening. If there
Meridian City Council
May 28, 2013
Page 16 of 23
is another application that the committee didn't recommend for funding, if there is one
that Council feels like we could fund with those remaining funds. So, that's an option as
well. So, I know that's a lot to take in and I usually don't talk this much when I'm before
you, but with that I'm happy to stand for any questions. I will quickly cover our process
moving forward. On June 20th is when -- after the action plan is drafted is when the
public comment period will open. That opens with notice in the newspaper and I will
e-mail out anyone that has been involved in our action plan and has requested a copy
of that and, then, we will have a public hearing on July 23rd regarding that annual action
plan and, then, I will send it on to HUD after that. So, happy to stand for any questions
that you may have.
De Weerd: Thank you, Lori. Any questions from Council? Councilman Zaremba.
Zaremba: Madam Mayor. First, thank you for all the effort that you and the committee
put in to organizing this complicated thing and presenting it in away that it's
understandable. I appreciate that. As a suggestion to do with the unassigned funds, is
it possible -- might it be wise to just say that we are going to hold those in case the grant
turns out to be minimized, either by the sequester or some other government activity
that says, oh, by the way, you're not going to get as much as you thought you were
going to get and might it be wise for us to just not assign that money and say if, in fact,
we get it, then, we will look for something else. Is that a possibility?
Den Hartog: Madam Mayor, Councilman Zaremba, that was a question I raised with
Boise and Meridian, too, to ask have you ever not allocated all of your funds, you know,
what do you do and their response was you have to allocate it, but we could -- if we set
it up in something where we don't have a specific project, because it's a public facility
and the other ones we are recommending for funding are public facilities, if those go
over budget we could use those funds, it would be consistent with how we would
identify the use of those and maybe it's not for a specific project, but it's for a public
facility to benefit our LMI residents. So, I think there is a couple of parameters that we
would need to be clear about. I think we can't leave it too vague, you know, there is
certain parameters I think that we certainly want to lay in our action plan so the public is
clear that, you know, we will be doing some kind of project. And, again, what --
because it's not specific and because we haven't done this type of thing before, my
recommendation would be to come forward in a public setting like this when we have
some options, so that the public has a chance to consider the specific activities that we
might be choosing from. Again, I don't have anything in mind at this point, but your
thoughts.
De Weerd: Lori, right now I know the planning division is looking at our streets and I -- I
think that can play into it. Certainly I think your list was well constructed in terms of
some of the needs in our -- in the areas of interest. In particular I know there is some
safety lighting concerns. Certainly connected sidewalks -- I don't -- sidewalk
construction is huge in particular in this area and as we look at our safe routes to school
this last fall we had some requests that I believe that Ada County Highway District was
able to mitigate, but we can look at some of those areas as well. Oh. And I think that
Meridian City Council
May 28, 2013
Page 17 of 23
Councilman Hoaglun with the construction of Meridian Road and the location of
Meridian Elementary and seeing that that will be a much wider, busier roadway, HOC
signals might be something north of Pine that might be warranted as well. So, any of
those areas certainly have probably some need associated with them. Council, any
other comments? Council Member Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: Madam Mayor. Lori, the public service projects are limited to 36,500 total;
correct?
Den Hartog: Correct.
Hoaglun: And the Food Bank was recommending 26,500 and Boys and Girls Club 11.
Is that going to be ten?
Den Hartog: Yeah. Sorry. That doesn't add up. I apologize.
Hoaglun: So, was that 10,000 to the Boys and Girls Club or 11,000 and 25,000?
Den Hartog: I think the Meridian Food Bank was 25,500. I apologize. And the Boys
and Girls Club at 11,000.
Hoaglun: Okay.
Den Hartog: Thank you --
Hoaglun: Yeah.
Den Hartog: -- for my number correction.
De Weerd: Anything further from Council?
Rountree: That answered my question.
De Weerd: Okay. Very good. Well, thank you, Lori, and we will look forward to the
update. When do you generally get the award letter?
Den Hartog: It's a little late in coming this year. When I e-mailed about a week ago
they said it was coming out anytime, so with the federal government we don't always
quite know. So, I'm hoping soon and I really am hoping that we will have it before
publish the draft action plan, so that that will have some more firm numbers and I think
that will make a difference and if it's substantial one way or the other in my estimate, I
may come back before you for some additional direction, depending on what that
number looks like.
De Weerd: Very good. Well, thank you so much.

Exceed Amount of $55,000.00 for Wastewater Consulting

D. Public Works: Budget Amendment for FY2013 for the Not-to-
Exceed Amount of $130,000.00 for Well 15B Test Well
De Weerd: Item 8-B is our Public Works -- actually 8-B, C, D. So, Warren, it's all yours.
Stewart: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. Do you want me to
address all three of them in a row?
De Weerd: Yes.
Bird: Yeah.
Stewart: Thank you. The first budget amendment that -- is Item B. First of all, I want
to make note that you have an informational memo associated with that. You also have
the actual budget or amendment request. The amendment request has some modified
numbers that have been handwritten in there. Those are correct. So, the handwritten --
or the memo that's along with that is incorrect by -- I think it's 15,000 dollars and the
reason for that was there was -- actually, Finance had more money in that budget than
we thought we had. So, we are going based on the numbers from our database and
once the amendment went through the process we discovered that there was actually
some additional money available in that and so this -- this request is going to go down a
little bit from 70,000 that was on the memo to 55,000. So, 15,000 dollars less. And
40,000 of that, just to dive right in, is reprogrammed money or reallocated funding from
water line controlling funds. Every year we have some money available in that fund and
this year it does not appear that we are going to have projects that will utilize all of that
money, so we'd like to reallocate that and, then, ask for 15,000 additional dollars and it's
going to go to three different locations, essentially, or three different pieces of work that
we have ongoing. One is the NPDES emitting or technical assistance we have going on
and, essentially, that's most directed at this present time to the TMDL -- the phosphorus
TMDL on the Boise River and what we have control doing for us to represent our
interest in that. Secondly, there is some money that needs to be allocated to --
including the design of the reclaimed water pipelines in the Franklin Road project from
Ten Mile to Black Cat. It's not planned to be built until 2015, but we need to get the
design in there now, because the plan -- ACHD is moving forward to complete those
plans and put them on the shelf for that project. We will, we hope, have some more
information on the NDPES permit and what that's going to mean to the City of Meridian
before that goes to construction and, if necessary, we could pull that from that project at
that time. But it's easier to pull that from the project at the last minute than it is to try
Meridian City Council
May 28, 2013
Page 19 of 23
and scramble to get that information in the plan. And, then, thirdly, there is wastewater
treatment plant frontage improvements and this is, essentially, excuse me, related to the
RV dump facility that we are putting in out there. We are relocating that. But as a part
of that, if you have been out there -- I know you have -- and, then, tried to -- you're
coming southbound on Ten Mile Road and you got a big RV on and you're trying to pull
into the wastewater treatment plant. That is a near impossible corner to take. There is
a big concrete irrigation head wall right there that's very difficult and sort of dangerous to
get in and sometimes we have people stop and have to back up and so forth. So, along
with this project and along with the two new building projects that we have got going on
out there, we would like to reallocate some funds to design a new entryway, make that a
little more open, a little more accessible. If we are going to allow RVs to come in there
and use that, we'd like to have a safer, better entrance for those RVs to get into the
facility and also include some signage and some fencing associated with that. So, that's
what this amendment's for.
De Weerd: Warren, will that help mitigate -- I know this winter when it was so slick out
just the employees going to work with that open ditch right nearby was a little bit scary
on occasion. So, will that correct that?
Stewart: It will certainly help, because the entrance will be made wider, it will be easier
to get off of Ten Mile Road -- slow down and get off of Ten Mile Road out of the road of
traffic that's continuing up and down Ten Mile Road. So, it will definitely improve the
entrance. The concrete structure is going to have to be moved back a ways, so it will
be further off Ten Mile and so -- and there is going to be fencing put in there at the
entrance, so if they were to run into something they would run into the fence before they
would end up in the ditch.
De Weerd: That would be good.
Stewart: So, to that extent, yes. Any questions? Okay. Moving on. Item No. 2 -- or
amendment number two is a request to reallocate funds to a water line extension from
Well 17-B -- well, every year we do two well -- essentially assessments and allocate
money for reconstruction of two wells. This year we did Well 17 and Well 15 and I will
talk about 15 in just a moment. Well 17 actually turned out when we did the -- the
assessment of Well 17 it turned out it was in pretty good shape and we didn't need to
spend a lot of money getting it cleaned up and rehabilitated. So, we had a little money
left over and we want to reallocate that money to water line extensions to help with the
project out on Locust Grove south of Victory to extend a water line south to a new
development that's going on out there. It's going to be part of the work that the city is
going to be responsible for doing. So, that's what this project is primarily for and any
questions on that one? Okay. Moving on. The last budget amendment is for 130,000
dollars, a portion of which I believe is reallocated funding and a portion of which is new
and, essentially, what this amounts to is Well 15 was the other well that we assessed
and we are going to reconstruct. We did the assessment on Well 15 and determined
that it was actually in -- unlike 17, it was in such bad shape it didn't make any sense to
rehabilitate that well and so we need to start the process to actually redrill a new well

would like to drill a test well first and test the geology, as well as the water quality at
different aquifer levels and determine the b
