Mathes: Page 1.
Borup: All right. Yes. The cover sheet was correct the other one was not. All right.
Thank you.
Zaremba: Let's see. I have no corrections to these minutes, but I would only comment,
again, for the record that we still have not seen October 6, 2003, and now we have not
seen December 4, 2003. If we approve the minutes of December 18th, we have moved
passed both of those. We have two of them that are still outstanding. October 16th and
December 4'", both of 2003, I have not seen yet.
Green: We'll get those to you.
Zaremba: That being said and hearing no other comments, Mr. Chairman, I move that
we approve the Consent Agenda, which means the minutes of December 18, 2003, as
written. I'm sorry, with the one amendment made by Commissioner Mathes.
Mathes: Second.
Borup: Motion and second. All in favor? Any opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Powell: Chairman Borup, before you open the first public meeting, can I make a quick
introduction from our new Deputy City Clerk?
Borup: Yes. Please do.
Powell: This is Jolene Robles and she comes to us from, I believe, the St. Anthony
area and she is our new Deputy City Clerk, so she will, I believe, start taking over for
Tara probably at these hearings.

Hawkins-Clark: Chairman Borup, Members of the Commission, yes, it is. The main
reason it was delayed the first time, if you recall, was there was some disagreement
with the staffs report and I think there has been some ground made, at least to the point
that they're willing to have the hearing now. The problem is that they did not get the
property posted 10 days before this hearing, so we could not have -- we could not open
the' hearing tonight because of the posting issue.
Borup: Wasn't it posted the first time?
Hawkins-Clark: No, I don't believe it was.
Borup: Oh, we couldn't have held the first hearing either.
Hawkins-Clark: Right.
Borup: Okay.
Zaremba: If it hasn't been posted, then, the hearing hasn't been opened, so a motion to
continue it is not in order. We should table it. Semantics, but --
Borup: Well, right. Our -- it's been --
Hawkins-Clark: We do have arepresentative -
Borup: A couple of months ago, it was back in November --
Zaremba: I thought it had been opened atone time and we did continue it.
Borup: That's the way it's written is that it's a continuation.
Hawkins-Clark: Chairman, if it was continued the first time, I think staff would
recommend that it be continued again.
Borup: Right but if it wasn't noticed -- if it wasn't posted the first time -- it wasn't posted
or it wasn't noticed?
Hawkins-Clark: Posted.
Borup: If it wasn't posted the first time, we never should have opened that hearing
either, should we?
Hawkins-Clark: That's correct.

Borup: But it wasn't noticed, so there could have been public -- because we had the
paper notification and letters went out and everything else. Okay. Okay. That's a good
date. You said February 19th and --
Zaremba: This is just a suggestion.
Borup: It's a pretty open agenda and --
Zaremba: We continue it, as opposed to table it.
Green: Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission, if it has not been posted, we have
to renotice it. It will have to be a whole new Public Hearing.
Zaremba: Okay. In that case, I need to move that the Public Hearing be closed?
Green: Correct and that we renotice it.
Borup: Are we clear that it definitely was not --
Hawkins-Clark: Chairman Borup, could (suggest -- we do have Mr. Seel here tonight
representing the developer and they could clarify that on the record.
Borup: Mr. Seel, would you like to go ahead and do that.
Seel: Jonathan Seel, 600 N. Steelhead, Boise, Idaho, representing W.H. Moore
Company. To my knowledge, it's never been opened. We elected to postpone it or --
Borup: So, we tabled it the first time.
Seel: Tabled it, but there has never been a Public Hearing, to my knowledge.
Borup: Okay.
Seel: So, as they say, part of the thing was we were working some details out, we knew
that January 5`h was the date that we had to notice it. We didn't get it worked out by
then, so, obviously, we couldn't have it tonight anyways, but we ask that it simply be
tabled anyways.
Borup: Well, it may have been opened and continued without public testimony.
I don't know if anybody remembers two months ago without checking the minutes.
Zaremba: We didn't have a public testimony.
Seel: I think I might have a copy of the minutes here if you want to --

Borup: Weli, that's fine. Either way. I don't think it's going to change what we need to
do.
Seel: We are going to post it.
Borup: There is plenty of time to post it and give proper notification, so whether we
continue it or table it, I'm not sure --
Zaremba: If I know you're going to post it anyhow, that tells me, I think, how I want to
frame my motion.
Seel: Okay. We apologize for the inconvenience here. We just figured it was better to
have things in order, then otherwise wasting your time.
Borup: Okay.
Seel: Thank you.
Zaremba: Mr. Chairman, Imove atwo-part hearing -- a two-part motion. One, that if
this was previously opened according to -- this hearing on AZ 03-025 was previously
opened as found in the records, that it be closed and, second, if it was never opened, I
move that we re-calendar it for re-noticing for the Febnaary 19~' meeting.
Rohm: I will second that.
Borup: Motion and second. All in favor.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
Borup: That's a wonderful motion. We have never had one like that before.
Rohm: I liked it, though. Creative.
