Item 5: Proclamation for Rocky Mountain Boys Basketball State Champions Day De Weerd: Okay. Item 5 is a proclamation for Rocky Mountain boys basketball state champions. I will move to the podium. So, I -- I'm going to feel short here I'm sure. I have two proclamations. One I'm just going to give your coach -- and, coach, you look like one of the boys. There you go. Roy: Well, if you get close enough the hair is pretty gray. De Weerd: Okay. If you could also join me up here. So, I will tell you that both of these will be entered into our public record. So, you can at some point when you want to impress a girl, tell your kids, brag to your grandparents that you had a special day named just for you, each of your names will be entered into the public record, so you can come back to this day anytime and show someone that you Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 3 of 60 really did have a day named after you. So, just for an FYI. We appreciate you joining us here and sharing your accomplishment. We love to recognize these big moments. So, this proclamation is for you. Whereas being a Rocky Mountain basketball players is more than scoring points, making assists, grabbing rebounds, stealing the ball and achieving the state title, it is training to build leadership, character, confidence, teamwork and resilience, all traits needed to succeed on the court, in the classroom, and in the real world and whereas for the 2016-2017 season the Grizzlies not only beat a single season record of 26 wins, but continued the basketball domination at the championship tournament by bringing home the winning trophy and whereas their strong desire to exhibit excellence in all they do resulted in a 72-51 victory to win the Idaho Class 5-A Boys State Basketball Championship Tournament and whereas capturing the first ever basketball title builds school spirit and allows these young men to walk the halls of Rocky Mountain with a little extra swagger and whereas the leadership, training and discipline of their coaches helped all team members to focus their talents and passion to become a winning team, with each player making valuable contributions to their victory. Therefore, I, Mayor Tammy de Weerd, do hereby proclaim March 21st, 2017, as Rocky Mountain Boys Basketball State Champions Day in the City of Meridian and call upon the community to join me in congratulating the Grizzlies on their remarkable athletic achievement and for representing Meridian so proudly in the state tournament. I signed it for today and I will present this to your coach. Coach Roy, congratulations to you and your team. And, then, maybe we can have each of you introduce yourself and your grade, your position and we can get a picture at the end. Roy: I thank you guys very much for having us. It's an honor for us to be here and to receive this -- this award and recognition. This is a great bunch of kids, not just on the basketball court, but they really are just great, great people and I'm really, really proud of them. I'm glad this team was the first team to win a state championship for us. So, I'm really proud of these guys and they deserve all the accolades. So, they just -- yeah, thank you very much. De Weerd: Thank you. And we will start with you and, then, just switch sides and -- Anderson: Senior. Garrett Anderson. De Weerd: And position. Anderson: Guard. I’m small.

Cloverdale Road De Weerd: Item 8-A is under Action Items. Josh. Hi. Beach: Very good. Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I can give you as little or as much explanation of these items as you would like. Essentially, when this was approved by Council we had a condition that we get an updated preliminary plat, which included the area highlighted here as a lot in that plat. We caught that. The county sent it back to us indicating that it needed to be revised. We have since acquired a revised plat from the applicant and we are before you with this to amend that ordinance to get that back to the county for recordation, as well as an issue with the development agreement. When we switched from the two year time frame to the six month, we inadvertently used it -- I should say I inadvertently used a previous template indicating that the applicant had two years, then, in fact, he only had six months. So, we have also ad dressed that. In addition to those, the applicant had also submitted to the city the final plats, which we could not yet process until the ordinance and the development agreement had been signed by -- and approved by Council. So, that's why all of these items are before you. The applicant has indicated that they are in agreement with the conditions of all three of the final plats. I'm happy to go over any of those things with you if you would like. But staff is recommending approval. Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 7 of 60 De Weerd: Thank you, Josh. Council, any questions for staff? Bird: Not at this time. De Weerd: Does the applicant have any comments? I'm sorry, I didn't turn the podium around. You can turn and just stand with your back to us is you want. Council, any additional information needed? Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: I move we approve the development agreement on H -2016-0112. Cavener: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to approve this item. Item 8 -A. Any discussion from Council? Mr. Clerk, will you call roll. Roll Call: Bird, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, yea; Cavener, yea; Palmer, yea; Little Roberts, yea. De Weerd: All ayes. Motion carried. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.

Public Hearing for Paramount Subdivision No. 32 (H- 2017-0014) by SCS Brighton, LLC Located Approximately 1/4 Mile East of N. Linder Road, North Side of W. McMillan Road 1. Request: Short Plat Approval Consisting of Two (2) Building Lots and One (1) Common Lot on 0.71 of An Acre of Land in the R-8 Zoning District Bird: Item 8-B is a public hearing for H-2017-0014. I will open this public hearing with staff comments. Allen: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. The next application before you is a request for a short plat. This site consists of .71 of an acre of land. It's zoned R-8 and it's located on the north side of West McMillan Road, approximately a quarter mile east of North Linder Road. This property was annexed in 2006 as part of the Paramount South 60 project. The Comprehensive Plan future land use map designation is medium density residential. The proposed plat depicts two residential building lots and one common area lot on .71 of an acre of land in the R-8 district. Both of the proposed lots comply with the dimensional standards for the R-8 district. The common area lot consists of a 25 foot wide street buffer along West McMillan Road, which was landscaped and a detached sidewalk constructed with a previous phase of Paramount Subdivision. Staff is recommending approval of the proposed short plat with the conditions in the staff report. Mike Wardle, the applicant's representative, submitted written testimony in agreement with the staff report. Staff will stand for any questions. De Weerd: Thank you, Sonya. Any questions from Council? Bird: I have none. De Weerd: Okay. Does the applicant have remarks? Good evening. Wardle: Madam Mayor, Mike Wardle, Brighton Corporation. 12601 West Explorer Drive in Boise. Just to answer questions if you have any. But I would note that one of the unique things about this part of the project -- there is now a solid sidewalk all the way from Linder Road to Meridian Road along that whole section and that's probably one of the few mile long sidewalks in that part of north Meridian and it's been something that there have been advocates in other projects in the vicinity that had always been hoping that we would get this done, so that children walking -- particularly down to the middle school would have a safe place to go . So, that's been done. Obviously, this is a little catch-up item, two lots that -- well, we exceeded what was originally approved by two lots and so we had to come Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 10 of 60 through this process to get them. So, anyway, we are grateful to be here and glad to get this finished and the project is just about done. Thank you. De Weerd: Thank you. Council, any questions for Mr. Wardle? Bird: I have none. Wardle: Thank you. De Weerd: Thank you. This is a public hearing. Is there anyone who would like to provide testimony on this item? Okay. Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: Seeing how we have no public that want to speak, I move we close the public hearing on H-2017-0014. Milam: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to close the public hearing. All those in favor say aye. All ayes. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: I move we approve H-2017-0014 and include applicant and staff comments. Milam: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to approve Item 8 -B. Any discussion from Council? Milam: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mrs. Milam. Milam: Just a thank you for the sidewalk completion so our kids can get to school safely. We appreciate that. De Weerd: Mr. Clerk, will you call roll. Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 11 of 60 Roll Call: Bird, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, yea; Cavener, yea ; Palmer, yea; Little Roberts, yea. De Weerd: All ayes. Motion carried. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. C. Public Hearing for Willey #2 (H-2017-0017) by Volante Investments, LLLP Located 3920 E. Lanark Street 1. Request: City Council Review of the Director's Decision to Deny the Outdoor Storage Associated with the Approved Use Bird: Item 8-C is a public hearing for H-2017-0017. I will open this public hearing with staff comments. Allen: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Council. The next application is a request for City Council review of the director's decision. This site consists of 2.84 acres of land. It's zoned I-L. Located north of East Franklin Road and east of North Eagle Road at 3920 East Lanark Street. A little history on this. A certificate of zoning compliance and design review application was approved last month for a 45,000 square foot multi-tenant warehouse flex building in an I-L zoning district, with outdoor storage as an accessory use. Eight foot tall pod storage units were proposed to be stacked up to three units high at a maximum height of 24 feet at the rear of the property enclosed by a seven foot tall chain link fence with slats . The outdoor storage was not approved, because it did not comply with UDC standards, which require the storage area to be incorporated into the overall design of the buildings and site landscaping, so that the visual impacts are fully contained and screened from view of adjacent non-industrial properties and public streets by a solid fence or wall with a minimum height of six feet and up to eight feet, constructed of a complimentary or of similar design and materials as the primary structure. No landscaping was proposed around the storage area and it was not fully screened from view of the non-industrial mixed-use regional designated property to the east and the screening material, the chain link with slats, is not allowed as a screening material for fences. The applicant is requesting Council review of the director's decision and proposes a lesser maximum height of 16 feet, which is two units in height, and elimination of the requirement for perimeter screening. No written testimony has been submitted on this application and I'm not sure that the applicant is here tonight. De Weerd: Council, any questions at this point? And what is your comfort level about moving forward without the applicant being present? Milam: Madam Mayor? Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 12 of 60 De Weerd: Mrs. Milam. Milam: I don't feel very comfortable moving forward without the applicant present unless we have heard from the applicant that they are not going to be present and that we should move forward without them personally. De Weerd: Well, I -- I believe, you know, as noted that the -- the applicant does ask for a lesser maximum height and so if you would like we can always continue this until next week. Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Cavener. Cavener: Maybe a question for staff while on the subject before us. De Weerd: Do you want to turn on your mike. Cavener: I think it was on. I'm sorry. Bruce, under this new proposal is this something that you would approve or if they came before you would you deny this as well? Chatterton: The principal -- Madam Mayor, Council Member Cavener, the principle that we have followed for a long time is that while we can show more leeway within industrial -- to industrial, that we try to screen nonindustrial areas, including -- you might have a residential even within sight of that -- or office -- to protect property values on both sides. I don't know -- actually, Caleb Hood, the planning division manager, made this decision. I'd like Caleb to weigh in on that and perhaps we can do that if you decide to continue this for a week, but the -- I would -- I would try to go with that -- with that principle of whether or not this can be seen or is it adequately screened from other non-industrial areas. De Weerd: Any other questions? Sonya, any comment? Allen: The only comment I would have, Madam Mayor, Council, is that the properties to the west and north and kitty-corner partially northeast are zoned industrial. The property directly to the east is in the county currently, but it is designated for future mixed-use regional uses, commercial uses. That property is also owned by the applicant, but it is not designated for future industrial uses. So, that outdoor storage would be visible from that property -- from the back of that property and with that that it's proposing still does not meet UDC standards. Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 13 of 60 Bird: While I can't figure out why the applicant isn't here, I would move that we continue the public hearing H-2017-0017 to March 28th, 2017. Cavener: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to -- oh, before I -- I'm sorry. Bird: Oh, you got to ask -- De Weerd: I would like to ask if there is anyone in the public who would like to provide comment, knowing that we will continue it to next meeting. Nary: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Nary. Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, one of the things Bruce said was -- and I don't know if that's the driver of this motion, but that you 'd like some feedback maybe from Mr. Hood in Planning. Mr. Hood I know we will be out of the state next Tuesday. So, if -- rather than delay it longer for that, as long as you're comfortable with him providing you something in writing that could be in your packet -- if that's all right, then, that way we wouldn't put it up further for the applicant, too, so -- De Weerd: I think that would suffice and if Council felt they still needed additional information I guess they could continue it again at that point. But we will try and get you his comments with any background detail to it. Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: Substitute motion if I may and a comment. So, I appreciate wanting to continue this to the benefit of the applicant, who, for whatever reason, isn't here tonight. I struggle with relying on a memo from Caleb to be able to accommodate -- and a request from the applicant to extend it only a week. So, I make a substitution motion that we would continue this to April 4th . Bird: April 4th? Milam: Second. De Weerd: I have a substitute motion to continue this item until April 4th. All those in favor say aye. Any opposed? Okay. Motion carries. We will continue this to April 4th. Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 14 of 60 MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. D. Amended onto Agenda: Public Hearing for Updates to City Clerk’s Office Fee Schedule De Weerd: Okay. 8-D is a public hearing for updates to the City Clerk's Office fee schedule. I will turn this over to C.Jay. Coles: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. I came before you on February 28th to present proposed updates to the City Clerk's Office fee schedule. What you have on your screen in front of you is the notice of public hearing publication that we put in the newspaper for the preceding two weeks to tonight, which show the three fees required to be noticed and have a public hearing on. The two -- the attorney labor -- labor for public records request and other labor, which is typically in the City Clerk's Office, because of the increase, the size of the increase, those need to be noticed for public hearing and have a public hearing and, then, adding that fee -- the Dairy Days Art Show vendor fee for -- the 20 dollar fee to cover the booth rental for artists at the Dairy Days Art Show, which MAC is -- puts on in conjunction with the Dairy Board. So, those are the fees that we are proposing to be increased and added to our fee schedule and I would stand for any questions you have. De Weerd: Council, any questions? Thank you, C.Jay. This is a public hearing on the City Clerk Office fee schedule. Any public comment? De Weerd: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Palmer. Palmer: I saw our giant audience in the corner was all looking up squinting. Can you guys see that -- see the numbers on that giant screen? Okay. De Weerd: You saw me squinting, too. I think that C.Jay took a lesson out of Finance's book and the smallest font ever. Oh, here you go. Much better; right? So, this -- this is a public hearing. Council, what's your pleasure? Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: I would -- have we -- did we publish -- I'm dead again. I tell you what, that guy standing out there -- I mean I lost him after the first five seconds, but -- we was supposed to get this new updated technology -- Cavener: We are supposed to. Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 15 of 60 Bird: I would move that we continue this public hearing -- get it published and bring it back on April 4th for a decision. Borton: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to move this on to another agenda for the ordinance to adopt and for action by Council at that time. That was what you said; right? Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Okay. Yes. Mr. Cavener. Cavener: Before we are finished I just wanted to make sure that maybe I didn't have a brain dump. Did we close the public hearing? De Weerd: No. Bird: No. We want to leave it open. Cavener: Thank you, Bill. De Weerd: He wants it kept open -- Cavener: Okay. De Weerd: -- for the ordinance. Cavener: Great. De Weerd: Okay. All those in favor say aye. All ayes. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Item 9: Department Reports A. Parks and Recreation: Naming Hillsdale Park 1. Resolution No. 17-1199: Resolution effectuating naming of new park near Eagle & Amity as "Hillsdale Park." De Weerd: Okay. Item 9-A is under our Parks and Recreation Department, the naming of Hillsdale Park. Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 16 of 60 Siddoway: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I am pleased to be before you tonight to come before you and request an official name for -- of Hillsdale Park for the project we have been calling Hillsdale Park for well over a year now. I almost forgot that we needed to formally name it, because the name has been out there for -- for quite a while. But -- and I want to acknowledge that Marty Hill would love to be here tonight, but he is in Arizona -- De Weerd: Okay. Siddoway: -- and the reason we are moving forward while he's still there and not waiting for him to come back is he comes back just prior to the official groundbreaking and we would all really like to have an official name approved for the groundbreaking. So, Marty Hill is generously donating approximately ten acres of land out of the project known as The Hill where the YMCA and -- and other partners are involved and we are developing a ten acre park out there that's been before you previously. Mr. Hill's grandfather homesteaded that property back in 1891 and that -- that surrounding area has been -- was known as Hillsdale shortly thereafter. On March 8th earlier this month the Parks and Recreation Commission did take formal action themselves as a recommendation to City Council to recommend that the park be named Hillsdale Park and Marty did send me a few of his own words and I'd to just read to you into the record. I'm respectfully asking you and the -- this is to the Parks Commission, but City Council to name the new park near Eagle and Amity Roads to be named Hillsdale Park. The farm received a Century Farm Award in 2001. The farm itself where the ten acre park will be situated was established in 1891. The property was homesteaded by my grandfather and has been operated continuously since that time. The original school called Hillsdale school was aptly named because of the area around South Eagle Road and Amity Road was known as Hillsdale. My grandfather gave the original ground for the Hillsdale School in 1908 for one dollar. It was used until 1959 when the now Mary McPherson School was built. The original school site reverted back to my dad Earl Hill. By my donation of this ground as a park I want to be able to create a legacy for the entire Hill family. This includes both my grandparents, their five sons, two daughters and all of my cousins. It would be an honor for the Hill family to bear this lasting legacy. So, with that we bring to you this -- this request, with a recommendation from the Parks and Recreation Commission to officially name the park Hillsdale Park and I will stand for any questions. De Weerd: Thank you, Steve. Council, any questions? Bird: I have none. Milam: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mrs. Milam. Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 17 of 60 Milam: I just really appreciate that little tidbit of information and presentation, because it just shows the generosity of this family to this commun ity for so long and it's really -- it's pretty awesome of Marty to be continuing the tradition. So, we are very grateful for their donation. Thanks. Siddoway: I will pass that on to them. Thanks. De Weerd: Well, we appreciate the work of the commission and the department to give this the identity it deserves in light of the generosity of this gift. So, it's going to be an amazing asset to our community and this is a great day to be able to memorialize this. Milam: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mrs. Little Roberts. Little Roberts: It's an honor to move that we accept Resolution 17-1199 and accept the proposed name of Hillsdale Park for the park near Eagle and Amity. Bird: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a couple of seconds to approve the naming of Hillsdale Park. Mr. Clerk, will you call roll. Roll Call: Bird, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, yea; Cavener, yea; Palmer, yea; Little Roberts, yea. De Weerd: All ayes. Motion carried. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Siddoway: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. I'd just like to note for the record that the official groundbreaking will be on Friday, April 7th, at 2:30 p.m. out at the Hill's home and there are invitations on the back table for the audience, as well as anyone listening. It will be at 3625 East Amity Road and any questions call our department. B. Community Development: Area of Impact Waiver Request De Weerd: And I imagine they know we are having the party at their house, then? They are glad that you waited until they got back in town. Okay. Item No. 9 -B is under Community Development. Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 18 of 60 Chatterton: Madam Mayor, Council Members, because this item really was Public Works call, we have made Kyle Radek an honorary member of Community Development for one night only and -- and he will be doing the heavy lifting here. De Weerd: Thank you. Thank you, Kyle. Radek: Madam Mayor, Council Members, Bruce Freckleton I think submitted the packet to you and I am really his messenger tonight, so I'm going to read his -- his memorandum, because I don't think I could say it any better. We received a request from Don and Kendra Taylor at 4090 South McDermott Road for a letter of waiver from a -- from a -- an area of impact requirement of Ada Code Sections 9-4-3C and 9-4-3D and this section of code -- of Ada County Code essentially requires the applicant within the Meridian urban service planning area to prepare and submit a street and utility easement plan. This plan shall provide for future resubdivision to urban densities and shall be included on the final plan. The code also requires in the Paragraph D that the applicant install dry line sewer and water lines to accommodate the future resubdivision to urban densities. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor will be doing a boundary line adjustment survey through Ada county to divide -- they have a ten acre parcel and they simply want to divide it into two five acre parcels. They have no plan for further developments and -- for the subdivision into a multi-family development and simply desire to construct a new family home on their family estate property. The subject property is currently in rural Ada county on the extreme edge of Meridian's impact area. There are no plans for extension of city sewer and water services to this area in the foreseeable future and, therefore, the request for waiver seems appropriate. This request has been reviewed by Director Bolthouse and City Engineer Warren Stewart and they both recommend granting the waiver request and sending the attached letter in the packet to be signed by the Mayor and sending it to the director of Ada County Development services per the requirements in city code, which you see in red there. The requirement may be waived if a lett er of waiver is submitted to the director and here is where the property is located. Basically on McDermott Road just -- just on the east side of McDermott Road between Victory and Amity and that is what the -- the requesters would like to do. The yellow boundary is the current parcel and the green line represents the split into two five acre lots . And that's all I have and I will stand for questions and, again, the item is to request Council to approve the waiver to the county code and for the Mayor to sign a letter for the -- the planning director. De Weerd: Thank you, Kyle. Council, any questions? Bird: I have none. De Weerd: It seems like an odd split, but if that's what they want -- Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 19 of 60 Radek: Well, Madam Mayor, I -- I think the odd shape, if that's what you're referring to, is to make it so that it's five acres, which I think is a requirement in Ada county you can't subdivide no lower than five acres. De Weerd: Okay. And that makes a little bit more sense then. Yeah, you are sounding like a planner over there. They may not let you go back to Public Works. Council, any questions? Bird: I have none. De Weerd: Okay. You have a request in front of you. What is your pleasure? Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: I would move that the Mayor sign the letter regarding the split on South McDermott Road and send it to Ada county planning. Milam: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to approve the request for waiver of the provisions of Ada County Code. Any discussion? Mr. Clerk, will you call roll. Roll Call: Bird, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, yea; Cavener, yea; Palmer, yea; Little Roberts, yea. De Weerd: All ayes. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. C. Finance: Comprehensive Financial Plan De Weerd: Okay. Our next item under 9-C is under our Finance Department and so as Todd gets it loaded up -- loaded up we will eagerly await his presentation. Lavoie: Good evening, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. Again, I want to thank you for the opportunity to provide to you the fiscal year 2018 to 2022 comprehensive financial plan. So, again, tonight what we will do is we are going to go over and review the CFP information that we provided you on March 3rd via e-mail and I think we also provided you a hard copy in your offices and, then, this presentation will deliver a general understanding that was presented to you on March 3rd and we will go over the first ever City of Meridian comprehensive financial plan. So, again, the agenda is laid out as we will go over the CFP. I will go over revenue and growth projections. We will discuss the expenditure requests that were provided to you on March 3rd in detail for the General Fund and the Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 20 of 60 Enterprise Fund. We will look at the projected fund balances as a result if the CFP as provided to you is accepted and, then, we will look at what is needed from you, the Council members, and, then, we will provide you what we believe will occur next. So, again, the question is what is the comprehensive financial plan? The comprehensive financial plan, in short, is a tool that allows and provides a short- term and long-term guide for the city to manage off of. Again, a carefully prepared CFP has many uses. It anticipates and communicates the community needs. It plans for maintenance and operations for the city departments. It will provide a basis for developing a request that coincides with the city's strategic plan. Again, the CFP is intended to be a guide, a tool, a communication, a device for not only the Mayor, the Council, the department directors, but also the citizens. Our goal with the CFP is to be able to provide the information necessary for decision-makers for not only the next year, but also the five and ten year plan. Again, the CFP is to be a starting point for discussions on the annual budget process and we know that the CFP must be flexible. This is a living document. Again, the CFP will be updated annually, just like we do with the budget process. So, the CFP will -- working I guess in cooperation with the budget on an annual basis. We will keep the CFP liquid. We will keep it flexible to adjust to not only the economic changes, the legislative changes, the political changes and all the development changes that are occurring within our city. Again, as I stated the CFP will be a living document on an annual basis. So, again, before we get into the numbers as a reminder, this is the first CFP that we have developed at the city and I will tell you it's not a hundred percent perfect. Again, this is the first approach to this. It's a new way of thinking on how we are going to plan for the city and how we are going to plan for the future. But, again, we have put in a lot of time, we have put in a lot of efforts, again, for the first CFP I'm proud of what we have delivered to you. Again, the Mayor now has a document that provides her where ever department directors want to go. She has one tool, one communications guide that she now can refer to that she can determine to work with the budget process to know where we want to go as a city. It's not only the Mayor, the Council has the same tool. The directors have the same tool and so do the citizens. So, again, at the end of the day this is our communication tool to everybody on where we believe the city needs to go between 2018 and 2022. Again, this is the first time we have done this. This is a work in process. Again, we will continue process improvements every single year. Again, we will look for input from not only Council, but we will look for input from the directors, the staff members to see how we can improve this process on the annual basis. So, again, as I stated, adjustment will occur every single year. This year I did not get a ton of input from Council. I apologize on the process. This will be a point that I will make sure that occurs in the future . We do need to get your input on the policy, on the direction we need to move with revenue expenditures. Again, this first year I do apologize, I did not get as much input as I should have, but I can guarantee in future years we will get you more involved with do we include revenues of sort. So, an example would be do we take the three percent and run it all the way across for ten years in property taxes? Do we develop Fire Stations One, Two, and Three in X amount of years? Again, we will lean on some guidance of policy, but, again, the Mayor and the executive branch will develop the policy Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 21 of 60 we believe will continue to deliver the services that our citizens expect. So, again, I apologize for not getting a lot of input from you this year, but the next process we will definitely get the policy guidance from Council in the future. So, again, apologize about that input. De Weerd: Well -- and I would just add that this has been something that has been fully developed over time and it has been a desire for -- from this Council to be able to project forward what the base will look like, what the costs will look like, and so we had a capital improvement plan, we had a comprehensive salary plan, we had a benefits plan and -- and this is kind of Todd's efforts to wrap all of those different plans that have come to -- in front of you in various forms together, so you can have a comprehensive look. So, we are excited about it. It is -- this first one is -- as we have proven in other efforts that the first one doesn't necessarily come in perfect time, but we look forward to the conversations that will ensue moving forward and making this even better. Lavoie: Appreciate that, Mayor. So, with that we will go ahead and jump into some of the revenue projections and the assumptions that we put into the comprehensive financial plan. The revenue projections we worked and developed a committee, we call it the growth summit, on an annual basis three departments, Public Works, Community Development, and the Finance Department work together to project population, permit sales and new dwellings for both -- for all residential, new commercial, multi-family. When we agree on the numbers we use those numbers to develop our revenue projections. Again, we also use historical and economic indicators to help guide the revenue projections . Again, with this as our first go around with the CFP, again, as I stated, I didn't get a ton of involvement with Council and I do apologize about that. Again, we will make sure to get you involved with the revenue projections going forward, the dwellings, and make sure that we are all on the same page, so when I present this to you next year we are all in agreement that the revenues are good, the expenditures are good and we are in good shape. So, the revenue projections. These projections and assumptions were provided to you on March 3rd. I'm not really going to go through every one of those in detail. But, again, the revenue projections are based on the growth committee that we developed. The property tax assumption I will let you know this is my opinion and my guidance to include three percent throughout the entire property tax revenue calculation. So, I did maximize the three percent in my revenue calculations. Again, going forward I will definitely seek your input and guidance on that policy. So, I apologize again on that. And, then, the final other revenue projections -- we stayed conservative, but not too conservative. They are still within margin of our actual projections and actual historical revenue generation. So, I will go straight -- straight into the numbers for General Fund. So, again, the March 3rd details I provided you, this is a summary of the March 3rd details. The General Fund for the years -- fiscal year 2018 to 2022 have 113 CFP requests. Total one-time requests a little over 17 million. Total ongoing costs about 5.7 million. And you can see how it was broken down by personnel and operating accordingly. Just want to bring to your attention that during this process Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 22 of 60 we were not able to approve everything. Thirty-three requests had to be moved, had to be delayed, or had to be cancelled in some sort. Discussions were had to determine which 33, but, again, just to let you know we did have to make some moves, some adjustments and the primary reason for that is due to lack of revenue stream. We do not have enough revenue to meet the requests that were submitted to us by all the departments. So, an example would be Fire Station Six. Fire Station Six has a potential price tag of 1.5 million dollars ongoing for all personnel and maintenance of the facilities. 1.5 million is a good amount of money for us to add to our revenue expense stream. I apologize. As you will hear in my next presentation about property tax, you will be able to see how much property tax it takes to make up 1.5 million dollars in new revenue. I understand there is also sales tax we can use, but, again, with all of that 1.5 million is one example of many requests. We had to kind of balance everybody's requests between Police, Parks, and Fire, so not everything got in the years that they submitted to us. After review some items had to get pushed out a year, so we can make sure that we generate the necessary revenue to keep the General Fund whole. So, just an example of some of the decisions and inputs that we had to take into consideration . So, the details that you have are summarized in this table, grouped up into three major categories that we have reported to you in the past, personnel, operating, and capital, with the total on the far right. Again, these are the major groups that we report to you. Admin, Fire, Parks, Police and Community Development for the General Fund. So, in total we had -- as a General Fund we had a total of almost 23 million dollars in requests and this next graph just kind of shows you the proportionate share amongst the dollar amounts above. So, as an example, the admin division contributed 13.94 percent of the total request for this time frame for the CFP. These are summary reports of the detail reports that I provided to you on March 3rd. This is another approach to looking at the details. This is what we are going to kind of term as program based budgeting to an extent. I would like to kind of start introducing a new way of looking at the budget. Program based budgeting. It's not completely new. We do it in the Enterprise Fund more than the General Fund, but what we would like to start doing, maybe, is promote to you the request based on the strategic focus areas or high importance areas. So, if we know that we have a project that is of high importance that needs to continue to happen, we know that project most likely needs to get funded or that program needs to get funded as a priority. So, instead of looking at all the -- or approving all the individual items that make up a program , we would request that you look at the program as a whole and approve that program and, then, all the underlying items that make up that program will automatically be approved. So, an example would be replacements. Replacements of the program here at the city for current existing infrastructure, the Council today -- and prior to today you have approved certain services that our departments must fulfill. At some point in time they need to replace some of those equipment items, some of those parts and some of those buildings. So, in years past we have provided you maybe 60 items on a replacement schedule, so instead of reviewing every single 60 items with a total replacement for the year -- one million dollars, that maybe that kind of -- that kind of thinking, that kind of approach you're approving the program because without Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 23 of 60 those replacements Fire and Police won't be able to continue to deliver the services that you have requested of them of today or in years past. So, just a different way of looking at it. The Enterprise Fund has done more program based budgeting than the General Fund, but it's just a different approach that I'm going to start using. Hopefully you will hear more of it. Again, this is kind of a program based budgeting approach. If we knew that municipal structures or replacement vehicles are high priority, we would approve the program in its whole, not the individual items as we have in the past. So, again, just a different way of thinking. Just a different way of looking at it. But this is the 22 million broken up in categories and subcategories. So, that's the General Fund. We are going to run the Enterprise Fund the exact same way you have seen on the four slides. We are going to look at the Enterprise Fund here for fiscal year -- fiscal '18 to '22. They had 150 requests. Total projects for one time were a little over a hundred million. Total ongoing almost three million. You can see personnel FTE operate accordingly. With the Enterprise Fund we did not have to move any -- adjust any requests. We had enough revenue to meet their CFP requests in the years that they requested. So, again, with the Enterprise Fund the same graph. You can see how the dollars are spread amongst the divisions by personnel, operating, capital. And, likewise, you can see how and what departments are proportionately sharing within each cost. Unlike the General Fund slide, the Enterprise Fund has been doing this for a while. They do it with our water service lines, water extensions, projects like that. They promote to you a request for a total program budget of let's say two million dollars for water line extensions and, then, you allow them to manage that budget accordingly to work with ITD, ACHD, other agencies for the waterline services that come up for projects on certain roadways. So, again, program based budgeting, they have been managing for years. I'm just trying to introduce that a little bit more to the General Fund. But, again, so the same example here. We looked at service lines, water. They have a number of projects within that that we would just approve the program in itself and, then, let the engineering division manage the programs -- or the projects within that program as we have in the past. Again, just a different way of thinking about it. Different way of looking at the budgeting and forecasting. So, with all of these requests that I have just presented to you and all the details that you have , this is what the General Fund balance looks like up to fiscal '22. As of right now it's -- it's viable. After '22 I can tell you right now that it's not viable, but that we are okay with that. Again, I noted that in our e-mail to you, that the first five years is sustainable. The final five years -- the second five years is not and we are comfortable with that. This is a living document. This is a moving document. This is a flexible document. We will always make sure that we are five years of sustainability. The second five years will be kind of the roadmap to guide where we want to go and we can adjust accordingly. So, again, don't let this scare you. But, again, the first five years are sustainable and we are comfortable with that and we will adjust this every single year. Discretionary income is a term that we use and that we really focus on in Finance. This is kind of that grow -- from a business standpoint this is how much money you have left over after you have paid your wages, your utility bills, your operating expenses. It's called discretionary income. This is -- these are the Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 24 of 60 dollars we use to pay for the capital needs. So, after we have paid the wages, after we have paid the gas bill, the utility bills, we now have some money available to manage the capital projects and maintain them. As soon as this goes negative, then, we can't pay wages anymore, we can't pay utility bills, so we never want this to go below zero and as you can see on this slide, we are really close on that fifth year, but, again, we are positive. But every year we are going to adjust this plan, so we never get below zero, we will never present to you an unfundable five-year plan. We will always keep each other in check. You will make sure you question me and we will make sure we are in good shape. Borton: Madam Mayor? Lavoie: Sorry. De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Borton. Borton: Todd, can you go back one slide? This one here, when I look at 2022, it appears that there is ten million. Does that represent the reserves -- General Fund reserves? Lavoie: The yellow line represents the net reserves. So, you would have -- Borton: In your 2022 though -- Lavoie: 2022. Yes. You still have some fund balance. Borton: Right. Lavoie: You actually have about a little over 30 million. But, then, we do reserves, which is the yellow line . Borton: Okay. Lavoie: So, as soon as the blue line goes below zero, then, we have -- that is the -- that's your actual cash balance. Borton: Okay. Lavoie: So, again, with the discretionary income after 2022 goes below zero. Again, we would never promote or support such as plan, but, again, we will always provide to you a fundable five year plan. This just shows you what's in the docket for the General Fund, as we have a lot of needs to continue to sustain the services that the citizens in the community have expected of us and without -- again, what this slide says -- without additional revenue sources or movement we won't be able to fund everything that the departments have submitted to us. Enterprise Fund. Same two graphs. Again, the first five years look pretty -- it's viable. The second Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 25 of 60 five years, again, we know that we can't fund it all, but, again, we are okay with this. Again, we will continue to manage this on an annual basis and, then, discretionary income, the Enterprise Fund has more flexibility with generating revenue based on new customers with adjusting their fees accordingly. So, their discretionary income is easier -- it's easier to manage than the General Fund. They have more levers and levers to pull. We do not in the General Fund. So, again, their discretionary income looks strong over the next ten years and that's primarily due to the growth that we are experiencing and we continue to project for the city. So, that gets us through the numbers. That gets us through the summary of the information I provided you on March 3rd. Hopefully, I didn't scare you too bad, but, again, I can tell you right now we will always stay fundable -- we will always be funded, we always stay fiscally constrained. This is the CFP. This is our plan. This is a guide and it's a tool to communicate to you, the citizens and the directors, of where we believe we need to go. So, what is -- what is needed from the Council? Executive branch is looking from the legislative branch, the Council, that we are on the same page. Are we headed down the right path. Are we listening, are we hearing what you guys are telling us to do , and that's what the detailed reports on March 3rd I gave you showed you, that gave you the details of where we believe we are going. So, hopefully, we are on the same page. We are looking for that -- the acceptance for the very first CFP. We understand it's not perfect, but we are looking for acceptance from you, so that the Mayor can work with her directors to develop a proposed fiscal '18 budget based on information provided to you in a CFP for fiscal year 2018. The CFP will be the Mayor's guide to enhancements. She will lean on this as a starting point for her discussions. So, again, we are looking for general acceptance of this document to help us develop our fiscal year '18 budget and going forward and we know that this is a continuous improvement document, it's a living document, and we will continue to lean on you guys for policy guidance in the future years. So -- I apologize. So, with that we will continue to receive new requests as we continue to develop this on an annual basis. We will continue to balance this CFP on an annual basis with the Mayor and the directors by either delaying requests, eliminating requests, or identifying requests for additional revenue sources. Our goal is always to align our CFP with the strategic plan, as the Mayor has promoted to you, and we will do our best to meet those strategic objectives as we have explained to you. So, again, continue to what to expect next from us. Executive branch. We are developing a new database to communicate with you Council, to communicate with the directors, the staff and the Mayor. This will be an online tool, so that you can have access to it, along with the staff members within the city. So, everybody can help inputs and manage and understand where every department is moving. An example would be the Human Resources never had a tool where they knew where the Police Department, Fire Department -- Police Department, Public Works Department was going with staffing. They can now access this database and see that there is going to be X amount of FTEs added to their roll so they can manage their staffing needs accordingly. So, it's a communication tool not only to the departments, but also to the directors to figure out their resource needs and requirements for years going forward. And with the CFP, our goal will be to report and align all the requests with Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 26 of 60 the strategic -- five strategic focus areas that we have developed within the strategic plan. So, again, that is the summary report for the CFP. I know it's a lot of data. I apologize about that. But, again, I have to say thank you to the Mayor, thank you to Joe Borton allowing the CFP concept to take form. Again, it was an idea, it's a concept, it's been in the works for quite a while. As the Mayor stated, it's many plans now put into one. It's a tool, it's a communication device again. So, I just want to extend a huge thanks -- thank you to the Mayor, to Councilman Borton, to all the staff members, all the directors for being willing to take on this new endeavor, this new approach to financial planning and financial management and with that, for Ty, any questions? De Weerd: Thank you, Todd. Council, questions? Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: Questions for either Todd or Madam Mayor or Councilman Borton. First let's jump back towards the beginning, the question about the formula and the assumptions that were made. I assume you have backtracked that formula and is that formula -- and if we go back five years or ten years in the past the numbers hit where we are today? I guess what I'm trying to get at is how -- correct, how accurate do we think these formula and assumptions are in the next five years. De Weerd: They are best guess. But, certainly, I think that our Finance Department's been conservative in their projections, particularly in revenues, but it is looking at what we have done over -- historically and I don't know, I wasn't at the Growth Summit, but maybe some of the thought process can -- can be shared on how they have been trying to project what these numbers mean. Lavoie: Yes, Madam Mayor, Councilman Cavener. The team that we put together looked at historical data regarding dwelling units, population units and revenue projections. We used COMPASS as our population guide. We determined that COMPASS will be used for all population forecasts. So, anything population wise we are using -- we are going to lean on COMPASS. The dwellings are based on the Community Development's input on their interactions with COMPASS and where we believe population will grow and, then, we back into how many dwellings equate to those rooftops. The revenue, obviously, the three percent I automatically applied that accordingly. I believed -- to answer your question, we are confident with these numbers based on the data that we have as a group developed on -- on this annual basis. Will continue to develop these numbers on an annual basis as well. Cavener: Madam Mayor, follow up if I -- if I may. De Weerd: Uh-huh. Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 27 of 60 Cavener: Todd, did you take the same formula with the data from five years ago to project to see if it's accurate to where we are today? Lavoie: Madam Mayor, Lucas Cavener -- Mr. Cavener -- Cavener: Friends, Todd? Lavoie: Yes, we are. To answer your question, we did not do that in this process. Milam: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mrs. Milam. Milam: Sorry. Cavener: No. Please. I got a lot that -- Milam: So, Todd, did you take into consideration the -- the upcoming recession that's -- that's proposed? Historically. Historically there will be a recession sometime within the next five years. So, you know, as much as I hate to say that, I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but -- no, according to -- you know, nationwide planners are talking that -- about that already and so I was just wondering if you took that into consideration at all. Lavoie: Madam Mayor, Councilman Milam, we did take into consideration that growth will not happen forever. But did we take it into a negative perspective in the next five years and ten years? No. But we do take it down to a one percent growth after year number three. The next three years we still see city growth based on the Idaho economic forecast that we have leaned on. So, the next three years we still have a good amount of growth -- or a steady. Not a good amount. A steady amount of growth and we started tailing down down to a one percent growth factor. Milam: Are property values still increasing? Lavoie: Madam Mayor, Council -- Milam: Get out your crystal ball, Todd. Lavoie: Yeah. Hopefully -- I know you own multiple properties. Hopefully the tax values continue to go up for you. Yes. Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 28 of 60 Bird: Todd -- I know I'm technology dumb, but not that dumb. Cavener: It's not you, Keith. Bird: How comfortable are you with COMPASS's projection of population? Because I think if you will go back historically COMPASS in 2000 and 2010 had us five to six thousand more than what actually come out . I'd like to know -- they brought up -- they have got us for now and what the state has got us for. There is a difference of -- when your dues are paid by population and when you're paid by population from the state, there is a difference. Lavoie: Madam Mayor, Councilman Bird, that's a valid question. We asked that question in our committee and we determined that given that COMPASS has more paid employees to analyze the demographics and the future of the -- the area, we decided to lean on them rather than the few that we have here at the city. So, we are leaning on COMPASS, we are comfortable with COMPASS. They are paid professionals in what they do. We are financial analysts, financial managers, and not demographic specialists. So, we are comfortable with what COMPASS is doing. De Weerd: Other questions, comments? Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: Mr. Lavoie, a couple of additional questions. This is related to the assumed three percent. Can you -- you have the -- I think on the next slide or the slide after you have got the -- the flowchart that shows, you know, where things go sour in 2022, I guess the -- where does that number hit if we aren't taking the -- if we are not assuming we are taking the three percent each year? Lavoie: Madam Mayor, Councilman Cavener, we did not do that projection for you. The projection that you have here is anticipating a three percent assumption. We could generate that calculation for you. I can tell you it would be sooner than this -- this graph shows. Cavener: I could do that myself. Lavoie: Yeah. Cavener: Madam Mayor, then, a follow up. Todd, can you articulate to us a sound financial decision to make the assumption that we are going to take the three percent five years out -- the next five years? Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 29 of 60 Lavoie: Madam Mayor, Councilman Cavener, I can answer that now or I can answer that in my three percent presentation that will occur right after this. It's up to you. Cavener: You're choice. I will take it now. I'll take it later. Lavoie: I will go ahead and present it in my next presentation. There is lots of good information there for you. Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: Madam Mayor, Mr. Lavoie, I -- I definitely understand the reasoning for doing this and it makes sense to have a policy of -- of trying to guess what's going to happen, especially where we are dealing with millions of people -- well, millions of tax dollars of the people, but I -- I definitely recognize the tall task that it is to make that guess, given how quickly the makeup of this Council can change and how quickly the economy can change, you know, all these different factors that could -- could completely throw off in one year's time what's going to happen in the fact that we are in -- you know, in the budget process now that all this could completely change, really, in a few moments when we have the discussion on the three percent, let alone when we actually get into the nitty-gritty of -- of what we are going to put into the budget. And so I understand that it may become slightly more accurate when Council has an opportunity to weigh in on these things. But, really, up until we have decided what's going into the budget do we really have any idea how that's going to affect the year after that. And so I -- again, I appreciate the -- the intent, but I -- I struggle to see how it can be accurate really at all and this is -- it's even worse all the time that could be put into it given how quickly the six of us can throw it off. Lavoie: Madam Mayor, Councilman Palmer, again, economic -- economic influences, legislative influences, political influences, they can definitely derail a project. A program. This is an approach I believe is sound in financial planning. Again, without looking ahead we have no idea where we are going to go. So, to not look ahead and have guidance and direction and go, yes, we are going to go down the direction of this, let's keep moving that direction and start the decisions from the document, but knowing that the document must be flexible to adjust to the situations that may influence the overall decision . Again, it's not going to be a hundred percent accurate. There is not a budget, there is not a planning device, there is not a tool out there that's a hundred percent accurate. If there is, again, I will try to find it for you and, again, it's not going to be cheap though. If it's a crystal ball, I think as Genesis stated earlier, unfortunately, we haven't found that yet. So, to not have a planning tool I think is not the best financial plan for a city and a growing community. To just look at it on an annual basis the Mayor would not know what direction to guide her team down for the next 24 , 48 months. We would Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 30 of 60 not be able to lean on you guys to figure out where do we want to go. If she was just working on a 12 month budget, I don't think that would be the most prudent and responsible thing for the citizens that would -- you know, to make sure that we are not accounting -- to make sure we are accounting for the cost that we need to maintain the services of today. Again, I understand your concerns that it's not perfect. I agree with you. But is it our best guess, as the Major stated earlier? Yes, it's an educated, informed guess of the professionals working the back side of this plan. It's our best estimate. My guess is -- you know, Mr. Bird had a business for many years, he probably had to do the same thing. I'm going to lean on -- most of you have businesses I believe. You have to have some kind of plan in place, especially when you have 113 million reasons of doing this. Again, that's just my professional opinion on planning and management for the future. You can't just look at it 12 months at a -- or 12 months at a time. I think you do have to have a plan in place to be successful and the citizens I think would expect that from us. Borton: Madam Mayor, follow up? De Weerd: Uh-huh. Palmer: And I -- I agree that it's poor policy not to try and so with that I'd like to see a parallel scenario where no tax increase is assumed and the only -- the only additional expenses planned would be life safety and public utilities and with the same draft -- understanding that that is not necessarily a great way to do a budget, but a parallel scenario where that's the case. We are not going to increase taxes, but we are only going to continue to -- to grow essential services, including life safety and essential services as population grows. De Weerd: Well, I can tell you what we do know is costs increase every year. What we do know is our new infrastructure ages and there is replacement and there is maintenance that is required and those are starting to grow in numbers, because we do have fairly new buildings and parks and those costs have a life to them. So, the three percent to our capital improvement plan, our replacement plans, our maintenance plans, our facility plans, our compensation plans and benefits indicate increases. So, the assumption of the three percent to maintain a level of service was proven certainly over time and what we have done historically, but also a commitment that has always been made by the City Council is growth will pay for itself, but growth can't be used to replace and maintain and so that is why the assumption was built in and it will be visited every single year and the Council will have those tools to show what is the net of the results or the impact s that -- that they are going to make and how will it change this CFP, so you even know what the -- what the impact of the decisions you make projected over time. My husband and I do financial planning for our retirement and we -- we have to revisit it every year to make sure we are hitting the targets that we hope that we are going to achieve. Every year is a different scenario and you don't know what's going to happen, but you have to have a goal and you have to have a plan to -- to know where you're going and you have to have an annual check in and -- and this Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 31 of 60 is just -- here are anticipated needs and these are costs of maintaining a level service, these are costs to accommodate new growth and keep that level of service and it's -- we hope it's a tool that you can -- you can use in making your financial decisions. So, it's just a tool. Other questions? Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: Mr. Lavoie, question about program base budgeting. I'm curious why -- how that pertains to the overall conversation we are having on this topic this evening and, really, who is -- who is driving that conversation. Have you heard from Council that we are looking for a different way of thinking? Is this something that staff is saying industry trends that we need to be thinking differently? To me it seems a little bit out of right field and I just need to be caught up onto the -- the reason about why we are talking about this particular item. Lavoie: Madam Mayor, Mr. Cavener, valid question. Program based budgeting - - and, again, has occurred in the Enterprise Fund. I was just trying to introduce it to the General Fund as a concept to kind of plant the seed that you might be hearing it a little bit more in the future. I use this as a -- I guess a soapbox, an opportunity to plant the seed, to introduce that term going into the next budget process. So, there is no influence from any other departments asking me to use the term program based budgeting, it's a term that we have used in the Enterprise Fund, we have used it in other projects as well, it's just, again, an opportunity to plant the seed that I would like to see program based budgeting be considered in future decisions when it comes to integrating all the items into strategic objectives. So, if we know that in the future we are going to lean on strategic focus area number four, let's make sure all those items in site specific four get approved, so that is the program to approve, not the individual items associated to it. That's kind of where I was trying to lead to. I apologize. Cavener: Perfect. Thank you. De Weerd: Anymore questions? Borton: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Borton. Borton: Todd, is there a reason to focus them in program areas, as opposed to the five strategic focus areas? Why not categorize all future requests into one of those five, rather than the programs that you have recommended? Lavoie: Madam Mayor, Councilman Borton, again, good question. In the next steps of the CFP development we are going to categorize them based on the five Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 32 of 60 focus areas. At the moment that I'm developing this model we do not have the capabilities of assigning every single request -- that is 113 requests into the five focus areas during the development process. Going forward every request will be submitted into the CFP database associated directly to the objective and the tactics, so we can report to you on multiple levels, not only the five strategic areas, but also sub types and categories that you saw on my screen. So, we want to try and develop a tool that we can report to you in many different forms and fashions, not just personnel, operating, but also strategic focus and maybe by replacement and/or new construction or new park development. So, again, we are trying to develop a tool that we can report to you in many different ways. So, there is no right or wrong way, that's just the information we had at the time, that's as far as I can get. Borton: Okay. De Weerd: Well -- and hopefully Twin Falls is not an indication, because they have been working on integrating that for the last four years, so it's -- it's something that continues to evolve over time. Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: Todd, you had indicated in your presentation that planning out a year or two years in advance isn't a prudent way or appropriate way of planning. Am I wrong? Is that how we have not planned for our budget in our history or am I missing something here? Lavoie: Madam Mayor, Councilman Cavener, as the Mayor stated earlier, you have had a CIP delivered to you on an annual basis . That was a five year, ten year, and sometimes a 20 year CIP. So, this -- we have always had that at our fingertips. The Mayor's had various versions of staffing plans in her -- at her disposal. This CIP is now the comprehensive -- trying to get all these plans into one -- so, to say we have never done that I would say would be false given that a CIP has been provided to you on an annual basis in years past. Borton: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Borton. Borton: To that point what's great about this -- the potential of this tool is the financial constraints that were lacking in prior years. The capital improvement plan could be reviewed and contemplated, but it wasn't financially constrained with any -- regardless of what the assumptions were. So, it's -- if I'm correct, this tried to incorporate that planning process and that forecasting with some financial Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 33 of 60 constraints based on certain assumptions to make it a more viable plan; is that correct? Lavoie: Madam Mayor, Councilman Borton, you are correct. We are taking the -- as the Mayor stated, taking the multiple plans, the CIP, the staffing plan, the ongoing maintenance plans, we are trying to put them all in one comprehensive document, so that we can, then, counter that against the revenue projections that Finance has always provided and provide to you a five year, 25, a 20 -- a five year and ten year outlook. Is this viable. Is this sustainable. And that's the ultimate goal. Can we make decisions now that impact tomorrow in a positive direction . Borton: Madam Mayor. That's one of the challenges with how it was done before is there might be a plan that -- to, you know, build Station Six or Seven in a particular year, but there is no funding mechanism to do it. So, the value to us to plan to build that station in that example, it's not really a plan because there was no financial constraints. So, this forces -- this exercising will force us to make -- and in the departments to make some more difficult decisions to realize in this case there is 33 things that might otherwise have been included in a capital improvement plan that we have realized, due to financial constraints, aren't realistic. They are just not viable. There may be even more. But that's helpful for us to at least plan going forward. Lavoie: Madam Mayor, Councilman Borton, we could -- we agree with what you're saying. That's the ultimate goal here is to try to put it revenue agai nst expenditures. Again, as Mr. Palmer and Mr. Cavener stated, can we consider zero percent? We could definitely consider zero percent. Again, I will go get your inputs -- more involved next year. I apologize about that. I went with the assumption of three percent due to the fact -- due to trying to deliver a CFP. Again, we will work with you in the future. Can we deliver optional, you know, scenarios? Yes, we can. It's just a matter of tweaking a few numbers and delivering the report to you. Borton: Madam Mayor? To that end as this is developed and adopted by Council each second quarter of each fiscal year, it's about this time frame, maybe it's helpful to get input from Council during the first quarter with regards to that and what those assumptions may be, so once we have some consensus on what the assumptions can be, you can, then, build from there and update it? Lavoie: Madam Mayor, Councilman Borton, again, your input is exactly what we are looking for. We will lean on our policy guidance to help direct the revenue projections and expense direction that the Mayor and I will put together for you on an annual basis. Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 34 of 60 Palmer: Madam Mayor. Todd, you -- I can hear the word constrained and I don't know if it has a deeper meaning than in my short time that I -- I have imagined it in my mind. When I hear constrained I imagine it's the pigs got a fence somewhere. How much -- how far out that pig can go before it actually hits the fence depends on where the zero -- when we run out of money. To me the word constrained should be more -- and maybe it does in everyone else's mind -- should be responsible that -- so, that there is plenty of land beyond the fence -- the fence at the end of the woods and so you asked for some direction as to whether we support what's been presented to -- to go forth and create a budget based on that and I would say no and, hopefully, we will have a better feel of that after the next conversation. I don't know if anyone else wants to chime in on that answer now or wait until the three percent discussion. Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: If you want to hear from us on this issue, I think the Mayor brought up a really great point and that's that we have to have a plan of some sort. So, if the -- if the question before Council is does Council support the plan that's presented, I really struggle with saying yes. I struggle taking an automatic assumption of three percent for the next five years based on a best guess. I struggle with implementing, even as a germ of an idea, program based budgeting without more information for the next five years and I -- I struggle with accepting the formula and the assumptions and they are essentially given as a best guess without using the data that we have to look back in time and see if our best guess turned out to be correct. So, I agree with the Mayor that we need to have a great plan. I struggle with what's presented before us to consider that to be a great plan. Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: I believe we need to have a plan, but I also, Council -- there are six of you that sit up here every year that control the pocketbook and the policies . You -- if you don't plan ahead you're in trouble and think -- think twice about your three percent when you make your decision. We have very -- always been a frugal city, but we have always been able to pay our way and I hope we will always continue to be that way. De Weerd: But I guess seeking direction, does Council want to set this over and revisit it in a week or two, give it a longer time? What is -- what is your comfort level? Milam: Madam Mayor? Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 35 of 60 De Weerd: Mrs. Milam. Milam: So, we are not approving any spending. Bird: No. Milam: We are approving planning in advance so I don't -- I don't see the problem with -- with the plan. I mean we should be planning in advance. And like -- like Todd said, this is a living document. It's going to change and after we have the three percent document -- or conversation it might change and after we make our budget this year it's going to change again. It's going to continually change. I think that all you're looking for is are we heading in the right direction as far as planning goes for our financial place in the city. I mean that's really what this is all about, right, and kind of lumping things together, but it still comes down to the budget. We are not approving any kind of spending. So, I don't have a problem with it and -- as long as it's going to change as we request edits. Lavoie: Madam Mayor, Council Milam, that's what we are looking for, acceptance of the document presented to you on March 3rd. The details were in there. Did we communicate to you the direction that we believe the city should be going? That's what we are looking for, as Councilman Milam just s tated, we have an annual budget process. We will go through the annual budget process like we do. We will look at the resources that are available to us in fiscal '18, we will present to you the expenditure request for fiscal '18 like we always do and we will budget fiscal '18 like we always have with the revenues against the expenditures. If it doesn't tie out exactly to the CFP, we are comfortable with that. It's a living document. I know there are items in the CFP that are presented that won't be there possibly next year based on decisions and guidance and inputs from the legislature possibly. So, again, what Genesis stated, we are just looking for are you comfortable with the direction of planning. Are you comfortable with where we are going. Again, this is a living document. We will adjust this every single year. That's a continual improvement process. So, again, appreciate the comments, Councilman Milam. That's what we are looking for. Are we comfortable -- again, to answer Mr. Cavener's inquiries, I'm more than happy to sit down with you anytime in the Finance Department to go over the projections. I can work with you and the Community Development Division to help I guess reinforce your comfort with the projections that we are using regarding dwelling units, permit sales, population, revenue projections. We are more than happy to sit with you anytime, stop on by. Again that would be too difficult to do it here, but stop on by anytime, we will show you how we do revenue forecasting and I will be happy to work with you on. Milam: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mrs. Milam. Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 36 of 60 Milam: So, Todd, I'm assuming that next year you are going to come to us with the amended plan, but also show us what was changed and where it was changed. I think -- so, I think that being the first year this is the most difficult one to look at, because we don't really have a true path . We are starting now and if we -- if we knew where we were a year ago, looking at where we thought we would be, I think that this would be a lot more clear. So, when you -- you're going to bring us where we are, where we were and where you think that we are headed based on the changes that we have made, not just plugging in the same generic numbers; right? Lavoie: Madam Mayor, Councilman Milam, you're a hundred percent correct. Yes. Little Roberts: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mrs. Little Roberts. Little Roberts: Madam Mayor and Todd, I guess where I'm kind of struggling is transitioning the program, base budgeting for the Enterprise Fund that's self- sufficient, to dividing the pie differently than we divide and so I guess I'm just feeling like by picking program based budgeting are -- are we leaving out some of the details and things like that that we see every year, will that transition when you're applying it just to a program and instead of to specific things? And maybe I just need to sit down with you and learn more about it. Lavoie: Madam Mayor, Councilman Little Roberts, again, program based budgeting I apologize if I confused you on this. It's not a new direction in how we are budgeting per se. We are still budgeting the same way we have always budgeted. We will still provide you the details. We will still provide you all the revenue details. I was I guess planting a seed of a concept that you might hear in the future about how to I guess group expenditures into programs, kind of like we have done in the Enterprise Fund in the past. Again, so I apologize if I confused you. I'm more than happy to sit with you, explain to you program based budgeting anytime. So, again, we are not going to change the way we do the budgeting process this year. It's just planting the seed and using a new term. Again, we have used the term in the years past. We have -- Enterprise Fund has used it for years. I'm just trying to integrate it a little bit more into what we do. So, I apologize if I confused you. Little Roberts: Thank you. De Weerd: Okay. Other questions? Borton: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Borton. Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 37 of 60 Borton: If the suggestion -- I think Todd had made it -- was I don't think you necessarily are looking for action tonight on this, but in light of the questions you have got an opportunity to visit with any of the six or seven o f us, answer more questions, and, then, it maybe comes back in a couple weeks or so to see if there has been any consensus. I think that's really important for a plan to be successful is we get some consensus one way or the other, so we are all going in the same direction. Lavoie: Madam Mayor, Councilman Borton, I'm happy to bring it back in a few weeks after I field any questions from the six Council members, if that's the direction that you wish to go. I'm more than happy to do that if that's the direction. Milam: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mrs. Milam. Milam: Would it be possible for you, since we are going to be doing this, to make another version of this without taking the three percent and let us see what it looks like with what you think are the projections that we need to spend without taking a three percent per year? To me that -- what I'm -- from what I'm hearing from my fellow councilmen is that's the main issue. So, I'm not planning for it, necessarily, but the assumption that we are just going to -- you know. Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: Madam Mayor and Mrs. Milam, Mr. Lavoie, if that were the case, then, I think it -- you know, if we do do that parallel scenario that it needs to be like seriously dumbed down to where it's -- the only things we are increasing is, again, essential life safety issues and planning for expansion of public utilities to what population may grow, so that we have kind of an accurate line as to what is absolutely necessary and, then, what we may be able to add to the funds maybe left over, as opposed to planning on a quarter million dollars over the next five years and all these other issues at zero percent over five years. The line is, obviously, is going to go straight down. De Weerd: We are not going to change everything. You have already gotten plans that have evolved into this, so, you know, we can change to three percent, but these are -- this is a representation of already approved plans and -- and so it's -- it's just the forecast. We can change the three percent and you can see how that -- that changes your -- your grass, but if we want to change every document that wrapped into this, you can do that, too, but this -- this is representative of where we are at today with each of the various plans. Palmer: Madam Mayor? Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 38 of 60 De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: And understanding that, but with respect we can change the plans and so that idea of the zero percent is should we choose to change the plans and not increase taxes, we can make that happen. Or we can continue on growing government at the rate that we are and continue to increase taxes at the rate that we have been. It's a great tool so we know what our options are looking five years down the road, instead of what we have been doing is what we are going to keep doing, because it's what we have always done. Milam: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mrs. Milam. Milam: I don't -- I don't want to start an argument up here with you, Councilman Palmer, but I -- I believe that -- if we just go down to just -- I mean most of the addition here is emergency services anyway and the other portion of it is new employees. We can't just stop the growth of the city at the rate that the city is growing and say, well, we are going to not -- we are going to cut off all government, we are going to take back all these programs, except for we are going to give you some police and fire -- I just -- I don't see how that would even -- that would allow to any kind of a place that any of us would want to live. Anyway. Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: I have enjoyed the robust discussion that we have had up here tonight, but I think -- I guess the overarching question that I guess I would have for you, Madam Mayor, for Mr. Lavoie, is is this plan that is presented in concrete or is it editable? Because if the plan is in concrete, then, there is no reason for us I think the wait a couple of weeks if the goal is to get more Council members to come on board. If there is an opportunity to take the feedback from the Council, make some changes and bring back a different plan , I'm supportive of that. I'm supportive of taking a couple weeks to work with staff to come up with something, but I don't know, Madam Mayor, Mr. Lavoie, if that is the feedback that you were seeking. Lavoie: Madam Mayor, Councilman Cavener, you're correct, this is not written in stone. This is a living document. This is an ongoing guide. It's a tool. It's a starting point for all of our annual budget discussions and that's what it's intended for. It's a plan to help us develop and forecast where we need to go for not only fiscal '18, but for years going forward. Cavener: Madam Mayor, if I may then? Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 39 of 60 De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: In response. That's what I was hoping you were going to say and Mr. Lavoie. I guess, then, what I would support and I'm curious wha t the rest of the Council thinks is to -- to put this off for two, maybe three weeks, with a commitment from each Council member to make some time to meet with Todd and the Finance staff to share your thoughts, to share your perspective, to allow the experts to respond and I trust that Mr. Lavoie and the Finance staff will come back with something that summarizes the response and comments from Council members and, hopefully, some consensus can be formed and, if not, we will continue to have another robust discussion in a number weeks. Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: Madam Mayor, I completely agree with Councilman Cavener that I -- that I understand -- I understand that, you know, the idea of being supportive of having a plan as to what we think Council may do in the future, as long as we all understand that nobody is to ever say, when we are actually in the budget process and we decide to pull something that, oh, but you supported that in the CFP, so why would we talk about pulling it now. Cavener: Valid point. D. Finance: 3% Property Tax for FY2018 Budget De Weerd: I would not imagine any of our directors, the professionals that they are, would do that. Okay. You are up next. Lavoie: Let me get Todd for you. Good evening, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. De Weerd: Good evening, Todd. Welcome. Lavoie: Glad to be here for you. Borton: I got a question. Lavoie: I hope we are ready for a robust discussion, as Mr. Cavener would say, because we are here to talk to you about the fiscal year 2018 Budget Roadshow on three percent property tax. Again, this is the third leg of the roadshow. It's the final leg of the roadshow. You have had two previous presentations this month. Again, today's agenda will be to overview what you have heard so far to date. We will talk about the authority of us to levy taxes. Again, how do we calculate property taxes. The highly-anticipated calculated estimated amount of three percent. The Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 40 of 60 considerations for three percent from the Finance Department's perspective. The financial impacts of not taking the three percent from the Finance Department's perspective. And, then, we will have a wrap up and, then, we will stand for any questions. So, again, this is the third presentation with the Budget Roadshow. You have had a lot of information given to you so far. Again, the three topics that we have decided on have large budgetary impacts and that's why we pulled these out separately to discuss them with you and it's an opportunity for us to communicate with you and provide you the information that we feel you need for the upcoming budget -- fiscal budget year and, then, next week we will be back again for, hopefully, a robust discussion on direction. So, that the Mayor can develop a proposed budget for you for fiscal year 2018. So, again, we are not looking for any direction tonight, we are not looking for any guidance tonight, this is an informational presentation like the two previous presentations that we presented to you to date. So, with that on March 7th Human Resources presented healthcare benefits. On March 14th Human Resources presented to you the compensation plan that the city follows. I'm here tonight on the 21st to discuss the property tax and, then, next week we will be looking for some guidance and some direction from you Council members so that the Mayor can work with their directors and Finance and us to develop a fiscal year 2018 proposed budget . So, with that we will get into the fun and exciting laws of tax. Again, same presentation I have presented to you in the past, so I'm not going to spend too much time on this, but, yes, there are laws that direct how we do taxes and if you 're looking for some exciting reading, check out Title No. 63. It's good staff. Again, what this does is it allows the city to increase their property taxes up to three percent based on the base property taxes submitted to the city by the county on an annual basis. More state code, just kind of supports the annexation and new construction as mandated by the county to provide us our annexation and new construction rules on an annual basis by the first Monday of June. So, again, just more code and if you're bored that's there for you. So, let's go and get into property taxes. How do we -- how do we calculate them? So, again, this should be a repeat to most of you. Base property taxes is the first segment of a property tax calculation. Again per code it is determined by the highest approved certified amounts of property taxes levied in the past three years. That's Title 63. The second component of property taxes is the allowable three percent. That's why we are here tonight. Again that is the city's discretion to take up to zero or three percent property tax against the base property tax amounts. The next two amounts are kind of mandated by Ada county themselves. They will let us know what these amounts are. But, again, these represent the new construction values and annexation values that you are familiar with given the plat approvals and annexation approvals that have come before you in months past. So, that's the general understanding of how property taxes are calculated and we will give you a different perspective on how you calculate property taxes. Again, same formula. Base property taxes. But what we want to do is have you think about it in a different perspective . Base property taxes are used to cover the services that we have agreed upon in years past during the budget process. Those are the services that we have told the departments to fulfill and provide to the citizens, the community, and the city employees. So, think Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 41 of 60 of that as our base property taxes. If all things stood still from here to eternity you would have -- and no inflation, no merit, no nothing, the perfect world, base property taxes would cover the base services if you had zero growth from here on out. If that makes sense. So, if everything stood still, your base property taxes would cover the base services that have been agreed upon at that moment in time. Unfortunately, I have to tell you it's not the case. We are growing. We do live in a very dynamic environment and that's where the state has allowed citizens -- or the cities to manage your budget accordingly. The state has given opportunity to the cities to adjust their budget for what we call cost of doing business. Cost of doing business would be inflation in gas prices, utility prices. You have heard two presentations in the past. We have increases in medical care costs. We have increases in merit and compensation costs. So, again, this three percent option allows us to manage our cost of doing business, because all things don't stand still, unfortunately, and so we need to adjust and be able to adjust with things. The next two items -- these are kind of mandated by or controlled by Ada county, but we are going to label these as growth-related items. The only reason we are getting these additional revenues is because we as a city have approved plats, we have approved development, we have approved annexation. The growth is here. These items are creating new demands on our services -- the base services that have been approved in the prior fiscal years. So, again, the question comes to us is do we want to use growth revenue, as the Mayor stated earlier, for growth or do we want to use growth revenue to cover for current services. That's a policy decision we have to make. In years past, as Councilman Bird can support -- agree with this, we have always tried to do growth pays for growth, services pay for services. So, from looking at this perspective, the base at the top covers the services we agreed upon in years past. The allowable covers the cost of doing business and the reason we are getting the new growth revenue is because we have agreed as a city to improve development, approve annexations, which, then, have a direct impact on our fire services , police services, administration -- could go on and on. But those dollars are going to help pay for the new firefighters, the police officers and so forth. So, again, a different way of looking at the calculation and, hopefully, it kind of makes sense on that perspective, but, again, that's why I would like to present property tax calculation in four segments. Now that gets us to the numbers. What is the three percent this year? Last year was 750. This year is going to be 842. So, again, that's three percent. If we took the maximum three percent it would be 842,000 dollars that we will be able to utilize for cost of doing business, as I kind of explained in the past. The 28 million is for the services that you have already approved to the department s, the fire department, police department, they know the services that you expect -- you expect of them and they deliver it to their citizens. That's what the 28 million covers. The eight is going to help us cover the cost of doing business. The next two are the projected new construction, new annexation, new growth values. This is working with Ada county. Again, we are growing. This is a direct sign that we are still growing. You guys know firsthand with all the plats, all the request. This is a direct sign that we are still growing. These dollars are going to help fund police officers, help fund Station Six, help fund South Park Meridian -- you know, the 77 -- Hillsdale. That's Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 42 of 60 what these dollars help us provide the services that the new growth citizens and the community members are expecting of us. Again, all these numbers here are estimates. They are not set in stone. We are still pretty early in the number calculations. But, again, these are subject to change. So, with that we are looking at a little over 30 million dollars potentially for fiscal year 2018 to provide the services that we have provided in years past. I think Mr. Bird uses the term first class services. Our goal is to continue to deliver first class services. We want the City of Meridian to be a livable city and with that we know where we have been, we know how much it costs to deliver that, so we need to make sure that we plan accordingly, so that the future can continue to deliver those first class services and keep Meridian as a livable city that most -- or as everybody has come to acknowledge and accept. I don't have to rattle off all the rewards, but you are one of the safest cities in not only Idaho, but the nation. One of the healthiest and one of the best places to live and we didn't get that way by chance. Again, proper planning and proper funding helped you get there. Again, I changed the name. Sorry, Mr. Palmer, but this year it's going to be Dave. So, what will Dave pay. These are the, again, estimated calculations. If we were to approve a three percent -- if Dave had a 100,000 dollar home he would pay ten dollars a year to receive the first class services that Dave has become accustomed to. I have also provided you the breakdown if you wanted to see what it looks like , one percent, zero percent accordingly and what Dave would pay per 100,000. So, again, this is informational. It's the best estimates we had at the time. We will fine tune these as the days go forward. Again, not until June is Ada county by law required to provide us the final information, but these are our best estimates at this time. So, that gets us to the considerations of a three percent. Why did Finance use three percent in their calculations? As you have heard is cost of doing business is the approach I am taking with the three percent allowable. The other two factors are the growth factors. I'm not going to touch those, because those should be used for growth. Additional fire stations. Additional police stations. The allowable is I'm going to -- is promoted to use for compensation plan costs. As HR presented to you a couple weeks ago, we have an anticipated cost of doing busines s of potentially half a million dollars. Benefit claims up to 200. So, now you are up to 700,000. We have a comprehensive financial plan we just presented to you. Again, not fully funded, but, again, if we continue to accept a three percent as is, you saw what the plan looks like. If we reduce the three percent you -- again, we will present that at another time, but it will be less of the funds available to provide for the projects that were requested. The sustaining of current citizen expectations. As we continue to grow there is more fire trucks, there is more fire -- police cars, there is more parks equipment, there is more computers. That costs money. That's a cost of doing business. So, we need to make sure we can assist and contain and maintain the services and the equipment that we have today before we acquire new. The intergovernmental cost burden. That's a different way of saying the courthouse. Again, if the courthouse has issues on the city's finances, that's going to have an impact. We are going to need property taxes to pay for that. Again, the new annexations, the new development, that's for new growth. Again, we feel that we probably want to use the three percent to help fund Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 43 of 60 that -- don't use the new growth, but use the current existing three percent. Again, that's an opinion. Property tax. Current legislation. There is property tax hospitals out there that are potentially changing legislation on an annua l basis. We have seen tax exemptions happen every other year so far that could change, that has an impact on what we receive. The state -- or the state is currently looking at legislation that's going to change new construction rules, possibly, which would reduce the amount of new construction that we receive on an annual basis to handle growth going forward. Again, more impacts to our potential revenue source. And last, but not least, I'm going to bring in PERSI. PERSI is looking at potentially raising the fee to another one percent in calendar year 2018. We have a potential expenditure going forward of about 277 ,000 as of today. So, again, if you just flip those real quick, you're almost up to a million and we haven't done anything yet. No enhancements. No CFP items. We have just looked at cost of doing business and we haven't talked about gas, we haven't talked about maintenance, we haven't talked about fertilizer spray, chemical spray, all those things. Three simple items I just wanted to point out that has a cost of doing business. So, almost up to a million and those are the reasons why I believe we need to consider the full three percent in this economic environment, in this environment that we are in. And I'm going to take the opposi te way. Financial impact from not taking the three percent or the 842,000. As I explained to you in the past, this is a compounding factor. If we don't take the 842 this year it will not be there in the future and if you do that for five years you will see that you have four million dollars less in five years. So, to answer Mr. Cavener and Mr. Palmer's question as what would the graph look like if we didn't take three percent. Reduce it by four million and that's what your graph looks like. So, asking departments to run a budget -- or run a service expectation on current -- current expectations on past fiscal year dollars, again, I don't think that is the most reasonable approach. We have developed a first class service. We have developed a livable city. If we want to continue to still be the safest city -- one of the safest cities and still maintain the exceptional level of service or the parks that we have, I believe we still need to cover our costs of doing business and that entails taking th e three percent. So, if we spin the -- I'm going to tell the story in a different way hopefully . Excuse me. So, what if we did not take the three percent? We have had plenty of robust discussions of don't take the three percent. I'm going to present that to you today. If we went back to 2005 -- Mr. Bird, the Mayor, I think Mr. Borton and Mr. Nary, you guys were all involved with Council probably back in 2004 and '5 at some point. If at that point in time you decided as a policy that we would never increase property taxes ever again, as of right now if we were to do that, the revenue source would be the green line, the very first line. You would have a revenu e property tax source of seven million dollars. Just so you know, for informational purposes -- oops. Sorry about that. If you have a base budget of 38 million, you would have to reduce your base budget by more than 50 percent to make that seven million dollar number work. So, to ask your -- I will ask the question. Can you expect Fire, can you expect Police, can you expect Parks to deliver the level of services to almost 100,000 people today on seven million dollars? I don't think that's reasonable. I don't think that's functionable. But, again, that's what it would look like if we said Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 44 of 60 we will never raise taxes again. The red line shows where we are actually. That's the -- that's the cost to provide the services that your Fire Department does, your water department -- I apologize -- your Police Department, your Parks Department, your General Fund. That is the cost it takes to provide the first class services that we all come to know. The blue line is going to be kind of a meet me in halfway -- meet me halfway. We are still taking all the growth numbers, the new construction, the new annexation, but we never take the three percent. If we were to do that, that's what the blue line represents. And that's 4.7 million dollars if, back in 2005, the policy was we will never take the three percent. We will always take zero percent at Ada county. We will always do that. You will have 4.7 million dollars less. Another perspective. I would not be here today. Your entire administration department would be unfunded. Half of your Fire Department would be unfunded. And if Steve is still here, I apologize, you would have no Parks Department. So, that puts 4.7 million dollars in perspective of what that would pay for if we did not take the three percent. Again, just trying to show the numbers in a different perspective on if we took it, if we didn't. Again, I have heard questions what if we don't take three. I, hopefully, displayed if we never took three now you can see what it looks like. If we never took anything now you know what it looks like. And now you can see what it looks like as is, as we have been running the business on a year to year basis for the past ten, 12 years. So, again, to ask the departments to provide service in 2017 on the revenue sources from 2005, again, I do not think is reasonable. Is it possible? Sure, it's possible if nothing else changes. If you did not increase population. If you did not increase growth. If you did not increase, you know, economic vitality. The population down below you will see what 56,000 in 2005 is up 71 percent. COMPASS has us projected over 100,000 in a couple years. Your total taxable property, that's Fire and Police, would have to manage to make that they are safe. We have gone from three billion to seven billion dollars. To ask your city staff members to provide that exceptional level of service, that first class services on 2005 revenue, I don't think is reasonable. Again, we are in a very I guess dynamic environment. We are growing. It's exceptional. I know all the departments are trying to do what they can just to keep their heads above water, but we are in a phenomenal environment right now. We are one of the few -- it's not the norm in the -- in the United States. We are one of the top ten growing communities. So, to ask them to operate on 2005 revenue numbers I don't think is fair to them. So, again, that's my soapbox I guess we could say. You have heard the three percent pitch on both -- on positive and negative. So, you have heard from Human Resources. You have heard from me. Next week is what we are looking for from you is guidance. Where should we move the bars? Where should we move the lines? Where do -- we need to work with the Mayor on developing a fiscal year 2018 budget for you to consider. The good thing is all things can be changed up to July 19th. Just like last year. Just like the conversation earlier with Mr. Cavener. Is this set in stone? Everything is fluid up until July 19th. So, with that -- again, this was a lot of information -- informational purposes only. We are not looking for any guidance or direction tonight. This is an opportunity to provide you information on the property taxes , so that's the third leg and final leg of the roadshow. We will be back next week so you can ask us Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 45 of 60 good, fun questions. But before then, please, stop by our office. Stop by HR. You have a week to work with our department staff to find answers to your questions and, hopefully, we can answer them and, then, again, I could stand for any questions if you have. But, again, please, use your staff members that are available to you here at City Hall to answer any question. Thank you. De Weerd: Thank you, Todd. Milam: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mrs. Milam. Milam: I have a question, Todd, regarding the three percent. So, from 2005 to 2017, 12 years, a 4.7 million dollar gross and now we are looking at close to the same in five years. So, is the cost of doing business growing at that same rate? Obviously, it seems to be growing a lot faster now. Lavoie: Madam Mayor, Councilman Milam, if you're trying to compare the two numbers I guess -- I think it would be unfair to compare them, because you are comparing a projected 842 today, compared to back in 2005, when it was probably 120,000. So, it takes a lot longer to get to 4.5 million using the smaller number, whereas using eight it would only take five years to get to that. So, I think you're trying to compare two numbers that aren't fair to compare from a cost of doing business. So, I mean I -- I'm not sure if I answered your question. Milam: You did. But I'm just curious what increased that so much? W hy is it 800 now and 120 then. What was the big -- what is the big factor in that? Lavoie: The big -- Madam Mayor, Members -- Councilman Milam, the big factor is on the screen. It's seven million dollars worth of infrastructure that you are now supporting on a daily basis for Fire, Police, and the citizens that have moved here. You have gone from 51 -- or 56,000 to 100,000 soon population. Your daytime population is going to be much larger than a hundred. Again, the populations that stay here, our sleeping population, we have people moving here for work, again, so that is the major factor of why you are seeing the number larger. You have a larger population. You have more infrastructure. You have a fantastic Village. You have Portico. You have St. Luke's. That costs money to support. If that answers your question. Milam: Growth -- Lavoie: Growth. Milam: -- pays for growth, so -- we are talking about the three percent. Kind of. I get it, but -- thanks. Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 46 of 60 De Weerd: Any other questions? I know you all have a commitment to go and visit with Todd, but anything at this point? Cavener: Madam Mayor. Just a quick question, Todd. Just curious. Can you share with us a scenario in which Finance wouldn't support taking the three percent? Lavoie: Madam Mayor, Councilman Cavener, would not take the three percent? I feel -- as I tried to display in that slide, I believe you can take the three percent if you have no growth -- or limited growth to no growth. If you had limited -- no inflation or changes. Again, I associate the three percent to the cost of doing business. If we have zero cost of doing business changes and expectations, I think you can. In a major city that is built, that is just on a maintenance structure, I think that's fair, because there is not Villages coming in every week, there is not Ten Mile interchanges coming in every week. We have that in our future. Cavener: Thank you. De Weerd: Thank you, Todd. Lavoie: Thank you. E. Mayor’s Office: City-wide Strategic Plan Update De Weerd: Okay. Item 9-E is under the Strategic -- City-wide Strategic Plan. We are bringing this back for -- we received comments from a couple of the Council members and that has been captured in the -- the document that was given to you and so this is a follow-up discussion and I believe that Jaycee has a couple of pieces of information to share as well. Holman: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is a follow up from a few weeks ago. At that time we went through some suggested changes to the strategic plan. I got feedback from the City Council. We committed to coming back and providing for you and document. We tried to summarize some of those changes by objective. I sent out that document. The objective summary 2017 changes. A couple of discussion items from the last presentation. Councilman Borton specifically asked me about 3-E-4 regarding priority based budgeting and whether if we were to try to do something like that you could do a pilot project within like a certain department first, like just try it with one department, see what it looks like. We -- Todd and I had a meeting -- or a WebEx with the Center for Priority Based Budgeting and, then, we, again, as directors had a WebEx with them . They are going to be here next week to do a presentation -- same presentation they have done to Mayor and directors, they are going to come here and do the presentation for City Council, so you can see what exactly it is we are talking about. This is the center who kind of does all of this and leads a lot of the initiatives in different cities and municipalities. So, I did ask that specific question and, yes, we could pilot it Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 47 of 60 in one department first, if that was the direction that we chose to go, so -- Councilman Cavener had a specific question. He asked about strategic plan, the small team and who is on it now, as opposed to the small team that worked on it a year and a half ago. There is no small team that -- anymore. That just -- that team work was done. Made the initial draft of the strategic plan. So, that doesn't exist. The team is all the directors and Mayor. Let's see. One of the things that I noticed -- as I was going back through all of the minutes from when this was first presented a year, year and a half ago, and we brought it back -- I believe it was in January of '16 and we actually got feedback from Council at that time about priorities. High. Medium. Low. And there were some adjusting. Some feedback that was taken from Council. Some movement that was made there. And, then, that was incorporated into our document. But when I look at the actual strategic plan that is attached as an exhibit to the resolution, those aren't memorialized in there. So, my question that I asked the Mayor and -- and she directed me to bring it to the Council -- do you want those memorialized in that document. As we decide high, medium, low under each objective, I can add that to that document that has been adopted by resolution. So, that was some feedback that I would like to get this evening if I can. And, then, our Parks director had a couple of questions and wanted some feedback on a couple of his items , so I will invite him up here at the end to get some feedback there. And, then, I'm probably going to go sit down as you provide feedback, because I want to be able to take notes effectively and -- so, this is -- we had some -- I want to show you kind of how the completion rate -- or the completion percentage is calculated. It's very simple. Basically, an objective will have X number of tactics underneath it, which you can see here. There is five tactics. You would divide the percentage complete -- or percentage of the overall objective amongst the tactic. So, if it was a perfectly-weighted objective that had four tactics, each tactic would be 25 percent. But we know -- I mean that's not going to be the case with most of the objectives. So, you can see I find some objective percentages here. All the way to the right you can see the complet ed box. So, until you check that box that says complete, it doesn't reflect in the overall percentage complete of the objective. What happens when we check that box is it will update that percentage complete, which you can see this is the summary at the top of the objective. It will also copy and paste that tactic into the objective notes and say, you know, on March 15th at 2:00 p.m. J. Holman marked this tactic complete and it lists the tactic in the notes. So, it's a way of keeping track of that also. And, then, you will be getting access to this software. I have spoken to Dave, our CIO. He believes by April 1st we can have this active and going for you . We are trying to make it easy, so you can get to it from your devices and so we will be e-mailing you a link to get to this and it will just -- you should be able to just hit that link, save it on whatever device you are on, you will just use your username and password and it will take you straight into the document and there you will be able to see all the objective summary information. You can leave notes in the objective. You can ask questions. Send e-mails to the objective lead and you can kind of stay in touch with what's going on there. So, I think that was my -- yeah, that was my last slide. So, at this time I would like to invite Steve up to get a little bit of feedback on his two items, since he's waited around for this and, then, I'd like to Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 48 of 60 get your feedback on any of the objectives and my hope is that I can incorporate your feedback tonight and update the strategic planning document and adopt the amended strategic planning document by resolution next week on the Consent Agenda, so -- but before I leave, is there any feedback on the high, medium, low, the priority levels being adopted into the document? Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: I think this is the right direction to include the priory levels in that master document. Holman: Okay. Does anyone else have any feedback? Okay. Well, I'm going to let Steve come up and, then, I'm going to sit down over here and be able to take some notes as you provide feedback on this. Any other questions for me? No? Okay. De Weerd: Thanks, Jaycee. Siddoway: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I had two items I was hoping to get some direction on. These are objectives that are kicking off this year, as opposed to ones that are, you know, halfway through or anything and so the one is related to sports facilities and there was -- we are just seeking your direction on whether Council would prefer -- so, this is 5-A-2 for reference. 5-A-2, the policy says identify desired sports facilities or complexes and establish partnerships that foster their development. We are basically proposing that we insert the word public, but the question behind that is would Council prefer that this objective focus on attracting private commercial sports facilities, like a semi-pro sports team, or developing public recreational sports facilities, like Home Court, a new softball complex, et cetera. We -- we propose the latter, but we wanted to get Council's feedback first to make sure we were going the direction you wanted us to with that objective. So, I will stand for direction on that one first. De Weerd: Thanks, Steve. Council, any direction or any strong feelings on that? Little Roberts: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mrs. Little Roberts. Little Roberts: In the discussions I have had regarding economic -- economic development, that’s been more of the strategy regarding trying to get teams -- semi-pro or something like that in -- tends to come more under economic development, were focusing on things like Home Court and things seems to fit more in parks and rec in my thoughts. Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 49 of 60 De Weerd: So, is -- is that an objective you want the city to lead, then, and we will give -- we will give Bruce another objective. Siddoway: I think she was saying keep it parks and make it recreational. Little Roberts: Right. De Weerd: Oh. Little Roberts: The different strategies should stay in focusing on facilities to provide for our citizens, like Home Court. De Weerd: Oh, thank you. I thought you were saying -- Little Roberts: But, yeah, I'm open to that, Bruce. Thank you for that clarification. You had me freaking out there. Siddoway: We will develop our tactics around this one being public facilities. Okay. The second item is under 5-B-1 and this one is regarding a signature event. The objective says to determine, attract, promote and maintain a signature event for the city and the question is whether -- is about whether our focus should be on seeking a new outside event to come in and add big signature events. I understand if that was the case wouldn't necessarily have to be run by us, it could run by a partner, or the -- or would you rather have us focus on like Dairy Days as a signature event and find ways to support and -- and build that. I put in there we propose the latter. I was talking with the Mayor earlier today, though, about there being room for additional signature events and really the question is more do we just stay open to those events that usually come to us in the form of a TUP, temporary use permit, for events or do we proactively go out and -- and seek people to try to attract them to the city. So, any feedback on that? De Weerd: And I think in talking to some of the team members and in the development of this it was to continue to look at those events that reflect the identity and priorities of the community, be it the 30,000 people that would come to the Easter egg hunt or the paint run that started downtown last year. The Art in the Park that also started last year, is it growing on an event that maybe the city provides or another entity and building those partnerships to have those signature events that reflect our -- our community. Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: For feedback, I think we discussed this in February and in my opinion hasn't changed that Dairy Days is that signature event for Meridian. We have a wide variety of other events that the Parks and Rec Department puts on that I think Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 50 of 60 are great and those will continue to grow and perhaps at a later point in time that emerges as a secondary signature event . If private organization links with the Easter egg hunt maybe that becomes also a quote, unquote, signature event, but, honestly, this is one of the goals that I would move to strike, because I think that we have great signature events from the block party, Dairy Days, Winterland Parade. I think having staff resources devoted to try and create something new or for something to be created just doesn't seem like the direction that I think that we should be wanting to go. Milam: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mrs. Milam. Milam: I agree about Dairy Days. But I think I would lean more towards making it very low priority and not spending staff resources into like sending people out trying -- you know, that full-time person trying to find a signature event. I think that's kind of a waste of time and money. However, be open to the idea that if something did come -- and none of these ideas that I heard today I get so excited that I think should be what it is. But if something does come knocking on our door that we are open to it and, then, at that point, you know, look at it realistically and look at spending some money and resources into creating it. But I am not necessarily thinking that we send people all over the country to events trying to find something to bring back. Siddoway: Okay. Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: And to both their points, I think that if it's intended to be such a low priority that we are not investing or have no plans to invest energy into it, but I think naturally we would be open to supporting things anyway, that it makes sense to just remove it and not muddy the waters with other goals of the plan. De Weerd: Works for us. Siddoway: Anyone else or -- I'm comfortable with -- Milam: Strike it. Siddoway: We can strike it and we will continue -- if we strike it it wouldn't mean we are not open to other signature events, it doesn't mean we don't support Dairy Days, it just means we are not allocating strategic staff time towards seeking new ones. Okay. Thank you. Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 51 of 60 De Weerd: Okay. Bruce, did you have anything? Chatterton: Madam Mayor, besides noting that my staff have been furiously working at the level just below the objectives and updating, no, nothing to add here. We are working -- it's good to have a plan to work and we are working the plan. De Weerd: Well -- and I think an important thing that you're working in each of your areas to appropriately reflect the lead department or division within Community Development, so that it's either assigned under building, planning, economic development. Chatterton: Madam Mayor, that's correct. We have made those assignments at the tactical level. De Weerd: Thank you. Questions from Council? Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: I guess this is questions and comments? Recommendations? Is that the time? Great. You want to pass these down. So, I have spent considerable time going through our strategic plan and I think it's really germinated from -- when this was first presented I was really excited about our strategic plan and I have to be really honest that each time we come back and talk about this my optimism and my excitement for the strategic plan is less and less. Before you is -- this is my draft of the strategic plan. You will notice some things are color coded. Anything that is red are strategic plan objectives that I have recommended striking and I will share with you for the most part they fall under a certain category. Arbitrary in nature, zero percent completion within the past year. There is a couple specifically related to the goal about either a city manager or the signature event that I recommend striking. The items that are in orange are items that have changed in terms of either a date or a completion level since this was presented to us in February. When I initially had requested for a copy of the form that we had in February, we ended up receiving an updated version and so I thought it was important -- one of the struggles for me has been following the bouncing ball related to the strategic plan because of the significant amount of goals, that I thought it was important for us as Council to be aware when things have changed from when they had been previously presented. So, you will notice, for instance, Item 1-A-2, it's marked at a hundred percent. I believe when it was presented to us in February that was not the case. Likewise, you will notice goals 5-C-1, C-2 and C-3, again, they were marked at certain various levels of completion and have now changed to zero percent. Some of the things that we have talked about when this process first began was how ambitious this plan was and I think it was ambitious, but at least what I took away from the February meeting was it was so ambitious that many of the directors didn't know where to start. Many departments Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 52 of 60 didn't know where to start. Which was I think reflective of the very low completion percentages that we saw in any of the goals that were supposed to either be accomplished or began this year and so for me I think those are the low hanging fruit that at least warrants discussion about if this -- if this was a strategic priority that we wanted to look at last year and nothing happened with it, one, does it deserve merit of being on our list. If it does, does it deserve to be at the rating that it is or does it need to be modified and so I recognize that my final version that I also have that I would be happy to share with you as well, that's a little bit more cleaned up, it's probably not reflective of where Council wants to go, but I saw this at least as a starting point of what I identified were options worthy of discussion. Borton: Madam Mayor? What was the key again? What's red and orange? Cavener: So, red are goals that I -- I'm suggesting we strike. Borton: Okay. Cavener: And for the most part they fall into the category of the goal is either arbitrary in nature and typically has a zero percent completion rating over the past year. The orange highlighted were goals that have changed, either in terms of priority, start dates, or completion level from when this was presented to us in February. And I apologize it's somewhat haphazard. This was me trying to fossil together what I was hoping we could have received and provided a wide variety of information in one snapshot view. Borton: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Borton. Borton: How about blue and green? Cavener: Blue and green were created by I think the computer that used this. Green I believe is the strategic heading and I can't recall what the blues are for. It was what was on -- in one of the versions that I either got off the website or it was provided to me by Jaycee. Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: I have got a couple of questions for the people that are in the room. First, Jaycee, is 3-D-2 -- is that the software for the strategic plan or is that meant for something else? 3-D-2. Holman: No. Madam Mayor, Council Member Palmer, other Council Members, that is not what it is. That is -- once we get through to the point -- we have in the Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 53 of 60 plan to develop the key performance indicators. It's a performance management and analytics on different programs and things that the city does. So, no, that is not the software. Palmer: And, Madam Mayor, if I can keep going with further questions. De Weerd: Uh-huh. Palmer: Let's see. Bruce, I think this question would be for you. If I can find which one it was. 1-C-3. Identify and preserve land for interactive educational agricultural-based destinations. Right. And so Fields District is what immediately comes to mind, but, then, the lady that presented to us -- this is another thing that worries me is the lady that presented to us about the idea of locking down land forever for an agricultural use, would what she was talking about be built into this point? Chatterton: Madam Mayor, Council Member Palmer, no, because of what we were -- and we -- we are very interested in terms of this objective and the idea of a learning farm, that basically is -- would be the intent behind the original Fields District study, which was to do research, to have an agricultural experience and to have a demonstration farm, possibly we have something like the New Ventures Lab, but have it for agriculture, ag innovation. But ag preservation really is not what we are trying to accomplish, unless you consider, you know, 40 acres of a demonstration farm with -- surrounded by urban development to be ag preservation. I don't -- I don't consider that to be significant ag preservation. Milam: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mrs. Milam. Milam: I don't want to argue with Councilman Palmer, but with all due respect -- and, Councilman Cavener, with respect to the time and energy that you spend into working on this, I -- I would like personally would be to have each director be able to respond to see this and respond to the comment and either -- either defend their -- their point, where they are, or -- or take agreement stand. I don't think that -- you know, there is a handful of you guys in the room, but there may be some other people who aren't here and aren't able to respond and I think that maybe if we could schedule reviewing this and that aspect of it for a different meeting or -- or respond in writing. I don't know how -- what the best way to be able to do that was, but I'd really like to hear on each plan -- on each point from each director their thoughts on Councilman Cavener's comments before I make any kind of decision. Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Cavener. Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 54 of 60 Cavener: And I appreciate that comment, Councilman Milam. I actually think that would be a great idea. That was something that I was hopeful to achieve. So, I know that there is motivation from department directors to move forward with our acknowledgement or acceptance of the plan , but if the rest of the Council feels that's more prudent -- again, with all due respect to Council, I don't anticipate the entire Council saying, yes, let's do this, let's cut a significant amount of these strategic plan objectives, but to me I felt it was important to just identify those that I think, based on my own subjective criteria what I thought at least warranted having the discussion about cutting, in hopes that the directors would be able to - - or whoever is in charge of each strategic plan would have the opportunity to -- to respond and provide some context. But Madam Mayor -- and I don't know how far down the rabbit hole Council wants to go, but I did want to stay at least with the question to Bruce about Objective 1-C-3 about the ag. I believe when this was presented to us in February it had a zero percent completion and is now listed as a hundred percent. I'm just curious if you could articulate what's been accomplished. Chatterton: Council Member Cavener, that -- that is not a hundred percent complete. So, we need to correct the document there and if -- if we can get that information to Jaycee, that's -- I apologize. Palmer: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: No. You're fine, because I needed more time to think about some of the other things anyway. But on that maybe even adjusting the language. The word preserve scares me. I hate the idea of eternally locking out a piece of land for one -- one use. You know, if we were to -- to preserve -- not eternally, a piece of land for a farm demo use or not -- they are still -- it's not legally binding that that's what it will be forever and so maybe even if it was identify and look for opportunities to create interactive -- I don't know how to word it. But to avoid the word preserve -- yeah. Promote. Yeah. Promote land for interactive -- that kind of thing -- would make me feel more comfortable with that staying in there. Skimming over a lot of the red ones that are in here are most of the ones that I had notes on otherwise. There is a couple other ones that I would like to just throw away altogether. For example, all the 4-Bs. It looks like Councilman Cavener has all but the last one and, then, Councilman Borton had a note on -- especially about that last point and should the city be doing it. So, I feel comfortable just getting rid of all 4-B and it's here in red and there is nothing in red that I think I disagree with, except what I had asked Jaycee about with the 3-D-2, with my understanding level of that point I'd like to keep that one in. Other than that I appreciate and like what Councilman Cavener put together. Those are my thoughts. De Weerd: Other comments from Council? Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 55 of 60 Holman: Madam Mayor, can I get a copy of the report you -- I'm fast and furious taking notes. I don't have a copy of that. So, can I get a copy of it? Cavener: Yes. I will send it to you right now. Holman: Okay. Thanks. De Weerd: I think, Council, certainly we would have loved this level of detail when we brought it to Council last year, because there is a lot of work that goes into this and certainly I have always been excited to think that we could reduce some of the objectives, because I think that we could all be in agreement that 72 were too many. But I -- I will have the -- the directors and the leads take a look at these and I think bring this back at the next workshop on the 11th of April for further discussion and -- yeah. So, I -- I think that gives each of the departments enough time to take a look and see what they -- how they best want to respond. But I will say -- and as I communicated to each of you -- that until we had an approved plan it's very difficult for the departments to -- to start working it and calibrate what makes sense in the workflow and as I started getting into it, it did change priorities or start dates, which were captured in the -- the responses that were given to you and -- and there were a couple of requests that -- for funding to accomplish one or two of these as well that they didn't get, so it got sent back and had to -- to reevaluate how the work was going to get done without the -- the resource that was requested, so -- and some of that was presented in February when this came in front of you. So, we will get this out to the team. They can provide you feedback and comments and if you have any other -- any other items that you would like to get additional information on, please, let us know and we can do that. Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Yes. Cavener: I would really encourage Council to take a look at the version that I sent in to meet with the directors, to send your comments as well. Madam Mayor, I appreciate your comments about wishing that we provided this level of feedback a year ago. I think like directors we were overwhelmed with the amount of information that was presented. I think Council at that time shared some 30,000 foot view concerns over some specific goals. We had I think a very well-rounded discussion at that time, but the direction was given -- you're going to work this plan for a year and there is going to be an opportunity for us to come back and discuss. I think that Council has probably learned a lot about this plan over the past year, directors have, and I think that the feedback that's provided is warranted for this very particular time. De Weerd: Okay. Well, we will set this out for the 11th of April and further discuss. Again, if you have anything further, please, get with the lead department on that and we can walk that into what we bring back. Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 56 of 60 Borton: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Borton. Borton: For sake of comment, it's listed a little bit in here, but -- De Weerd: Could you turn up your -- Borton: We are coming back -- De Weerd: Because we are getting -- Borton: -- coming back on April 4th? 11th? Workshop. De Weerd: Workshop. Borton: Not to be answered now, but one of the questions I had that we can discuss in 3-E-4, the idea of priority based budgeting, we can discuss at the workshop whether -- if that's to stay is it done on a pilot project or -- De Weerd: I think you were out of the room when we discussed it. Jaycee did talk about it. We do have the consultant coming in next week to do a presentation in front of Council. As you see what the -- the larger idea is, you can -- we are seeking your feedback next week -- Borton: Okay. De Weerd: -- when you have some more information on what that tool really i s. So, she's on it. Borton: Good. De Weerd: Already ahead of you. Borton: Good. To continue that, the comments that -- the inclusion of the scenario village from my perspective is critical to include that. It ties into the CFP discussion as well and I think the removal of the hundred healthiest cities -- not that that's a laudable goal -- not a laudable goal, but it's not necessarily something that I think the city should focus on and can control whether or whether or not we are able to accomplish that seemed to be a bit outside the spectrum of priorities. But from of a broader -- and we had answered Steve's question with regards to the signature event, which was -- was the other comment. But with regard to what Mr. Cavener has done, which is going to be extremely helpful, it feels like we are just now starting a strategic plan and I think a lot of the reason that we are able to have some granular discussion is the work that you have done, Jaycee, is phenomenal Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 57 of 60 in not only leading the -- the IT portion of developing the framework that can allow us to do this and now have this type of discussion is exceptional. You have done a masterful job in getting us to a point to start. Holman: Thank you. Borton: It kind of feels like that -- that might be what we are doing, as clumsy as it might be. So, it's exciting to see where this is going to go. But this kind of detail comes because you have done what you have done. So, awesome work. Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Cavener. Cavener: I think to Councilman Borton's point, I know that it's a challenging timeline for Dave and IT to get access to the FTP portal on or near April 1st, but, obviously, the closer we get to that date is ideal, so that we as a Council have an opportunity to engage with that particular tool before we are back at a workshop. I think could be helpful as well. De Weerd: Because a majority of the work has already gotten into it anyway. So, we will see how we can get that out there. Okay. Well, good. Cavener: Madam Mayor, sorry. I hate to continue bringing up additional points, but it would also be beneficial, in light of Mr. Chatterton's comments about goals that being accurately reflected on the sheet that was provided to us, if t here could just be a quick straw poll of directors and make sure that the information that's included in that chart is accurate, so that we are looking at what is factual and true. De Weerd: Yeah. We actually thought they all owned the information on it at this point, so we will -- Cavener: Great. Holman: Madam Mayor? Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, some of the issue with that is we did a little bit of a tweak of the software kind of midstream. We originally had it drilled all the way down to the detail. We were tracking hours and costs and it was extremely complex. The calculations were very, very -- it was just very -- spending more time updating the tool than actually doing the work. So, what we did is since we had last spoken with you -- so I'm going to defend you a little bit here, Bruce. We checked that -- what I was talking to you about with the percentage complete, you weight each of your tactics towards the objective and once that tactic is complete that's when a percentage complete shows for the overall objective. So, in Bruce's case I pulled that one up and he had one tactic that he had put in there one hundred percent complete, because he was doing it the way we originally had designed the software before the change, so since that Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 58 of 60 was the only tactic that had any weight to it, it, then, shows the objective as overall a hundred percent complete. So, that was just -- probably got caught up in the change of the software and I know you were fast and -- he was really impacted by that change because of the 21 objectives and they are going in there and trying to weight their tactics and kind of change that, so -- Chatterton: And just that, what Jaycee is saying, we -- we were aware of this problem and we, obviously, didn't ferret out -- ferret out all of them and get them corrected. Cavener: I was excited. There has a hundred percent. That was really -- Chatterton: I think the Mayor would be happy, because we would have fully implemented the Fields District in three months. Holman: And, Madam Mayor, one more item if I may. It's -- that's -- what you're seeing -- when I send that report to you that's the summarized report of objectives, that shows percentage complete, if people are working on that every single day, it might change every day. It is a snapshot in time of the whole software. It's not a static document that I'm going in there and just putting in percentage complete, there are -- when the Mayor spoke and Joe spoke or whoever it was about this really feels like it's really the beginning of a strategic plan, the activity that I have seen -- because I can see it as an administrator, I can see people building teams, assigning tactics, putting teams and everything around each one of these tasks -- it's really exciting to see, because there is e-mails that are flowing back and forth and people are being notified that they are now part of this team and there is a lot of work being done in there. So, it is -- it will continually change. You will not get that same report from moment to moment, because that report is to be a snapshot of where we are at right then. De Weerd: It will be a very useful tool, so -- Cavener: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Yes. Cavener: Question for -- for Jaycee then. I light of that, is there a way for when that report is sent to Council that we can see what changes have occurred since the last time it's been shared for us? Again, it's -- this is four pages and if there is a lot going on, then, for me to be able to digest all this information, I would like to know what has changed from the last time this was shared for us. So, I don't know if that's possible and that's something that for me would be incredibly helpful to be able to understand where the changes are occurring and in what specific objective and who is the lead on that. Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 59 of 60 Holman: Okay. Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. So, you're asking for -- you will be able to see that within the individual objectives in the software. So, are you asking for a report that can show changes since the last time you saw that report? Is that what you're asking for? De Weerd: Since the report they got for this meeting. Holman: At this point, no. I would -- you can only compare it against the other report that we have in the record. So, we don't have one that will show changes since the last time you ran the report, because right now it's a dynamic report that's just grabbing what's out there. Cavener: Madam Mayor, I don't want to speak for the rest of the Council, but that would be sufficient for me is if -- if you have got an updated change from when this was first put on the record in February to whatever updated version is sent us with some ability to be able to see the changes that have occurred , that would be sufficient for me. Again, I don't want to speak for the rest of the Council. Maybe I'm the only one -- I don't know if that's valuable to you as well, but I think it is. Holman: I'm trying to technically think if they can do that or not. I'm sure they can. I know I talked about this with Councilman Borton and he had said it's important for them to see. Like they will say -- I give you a report in January that says Item 3-D-4 is 25 percent complete. He doesn't want to see six months from now -- he wants to be able to see Items 3-D-4 is 30 percent complete, but he also wants to see that it changed five percent -- the percent change since the last time we brought it to you. So, I can do that as I come to you twice a year with these reports. Is that what you're asking or are you asking anytime we run this report to see how it changed from the last time? Cavener: If you're asking me, if each time you run the report you send that to Council, whether we choose to review or not I guess is up to us. De Weerd: I think it's the twice a year that -- the bi-annual -- because it's going to be a lot of manual -- Cavener: That -- that satisfies my need. Holman: I believe we can do that, but I will talk to my IT -- De Weerd: We will address that on April 11th. Okay. Please reach out to the lead departments if you have anything further. Item 10: Future Meeting Topics De Weerd: Okay. Council, upcoming events. Meridian Mondays. Please join us out in the plaza out front at 6:00 p.m. and get active. The Closet -- the Leadership Meridian City Council March 21, 2017 Page 60 of 60 Meridian is having their Closet Bowl-A-thon fundraiser on March 29th. It starts at 6:00 p.m. at Big AI's. And encourage you to remember the Hillsdale Park groundbreaking on April 7th at 2:30. So, if there is nothing further I would entertain a motion to adjourn. Borton: So moved. Cavener: Second.

The Mayor's Youth Advisory Council update. Young Lady. Bradford: Okay. Members of the Council, I am Susanna Bradford and I am the vice-chair for the Mayor's Youth Advisory Council and this is the update for the month of February and last month -- or last Monday we had Ignite Youth at the Idaho Party Barn and we had six different presenters give presentations on a variety of topics. Our presenters included MYAC'ers and just community members and we learned about anything from starting your own small business to -- to dinosaurs -- we learned about dinosaurs and it was super cool to hear about whatever the presenters wanted to talk about. There we go. Okay. And, then last night we had a fundraiser at The Counter for -- to raise money for our NLC trip, which is this weekend. We have a few members of the exec council that will be going to Washington D.C. for the National League of Cities conference and it was -- it was a good turnout. There were -- we got a good turnout from that. And, then, just as a look ahead we have NLC in Washington D.C. this weekend and we are working on our STAND grant and we will get more information about that as it comes closer and we are also working on school surveys that we are going to take into the schools to give students, so that we know how they feel about Meridian and how they feel about like safety in Meridian and what their place is. And that's all. Are there any questions? Bird: Council, any questions for the young lady? Cavener: Mr. President? Bird: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: A couple questions about your STAND grant. I'm just curious what MYAC is planning to work on related to STAND and kind of what they are submitting for funds for. Bradford: Uh-huh. I think it's -- I'm not positive what the project is. I'm not working on it. We have other people in the exec council that are working on it. But I know they are trying to work on something to do with parents smoking in the car with children under the age of 18 when they are present in the car. Cavener: Mr. President, additional question if I may. Bird: Yes, Mr. Cavener. Cavener: I'm just curious what membership looks like right now. I know you guys just seem to get bigger and bigger every time. Bradford: Yeah. Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 5 of 31 Cavener: I'm just curious what your current membership is. Bradford: It always dwindles after Christmas -- Cavener: Sure. Bradford: -- so right now we are -- we are hanging on, but we are getting pretty small, so -- yes. Cavener: Okay. Bird: Any other questions? Thank you, young lady. Bradford: Thank you. B. Solid Waste Advisory Commission Annual Report Bird: You bet. Mr. Cory on the Solid Waste Advisory Commission annual report. Thank you for being here, Steve. Cory: Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Council. I want to express my appreciation for this opportunity to go ahead and review the activities of 2016 for the Solid Waste Advisory Commission. Introducing myself. Steve Cory. I'm chairman of the commission and I get the opportunity to make this presentation on behalf of the commissioners. We have a very strong, active and full commission and we have had some changes over the course of this last year . Mayor Corrie, Youth Commissioner Chambers and commissioner and former chairman Nancy Mann all chose to do some other activities over the course of the year and the commission very much wants to thank the Council for keeping us at full capacity. We appreciate the variety of citizens that you're able to give to us to represent the community. One of the activities that the commission takes is the oversight of the community recycling fund program or CFRP -- CRFP. I want to report to you that we are starting to get cash inflows into this account and it's now a little bit over 11,600 dollars. To that effect we have opened up a conversation with the Parks and Recreation Department and also with the Meridian Arts Commission about a joint project that would go ahead and place benches in city parks. This happens to be some work of artists that we found fairly interesting, but we have got another project that's -- another type of bench that's really developed some interest amongst the group and we are looking forward in the near future to be able to come before you with a joint presentation on something for the community. Looking back at the activities of 2016, early on in the year we went ahead and presented a report to memorialize the origins , development, and current conditions of recycling in Meridian. We documented the interplay of conditions and market variables and SWAC investigated services and fees charged locally and throughout the west, pertinent contracts and other industry resource information. The report compared how other local cities in the Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 6 of 31 county apportion residential recycling risks versus revenue with Republic Services. As a result of that work SWAC developed a greater knowledge of the complexities of the recycling industry, a closer working relationship with Republic Services and other local stakeholders, and a collective resolve to find innovative new programs to support the CRFP. Another one of our activities was the development of the Hand-In-Hand We Recycle program. SWAC created the program -- the program with the support of Republic Services and Western Recycling. Both Republic Services and Western Recycling agreed to donate services so that close to a hundred percent of the revenue earned can be returned to the CRFP. The program creates a mobile collection opportunity that we can take to events within the community. From its title to the painted hand prints of local recyclers, the program's objective is to promote that it takes everyone in the community to recycle in order to improve the quality of life for everyone in the community. It provides an opportunity for multi-family households to participate in recycling and it promotes recycling generally with its positive message, it's easily accessible reaching location near the Meridian transfer stations gatehouse and it gives us the opportunity to educate the community on the effect of contamination of the recyclables and the effect that contamination has on the value of both single stream recycling that happens at the curb and the commingled -- well, the source separated material that comes through this end process. It was -- it rolled out very nicely with no cost to the city or citizens directly and so we were very proud of the way that that rolled out . We launched the program during the Public Works Expo with the activities that I have just discussed and, then, followed it up with Republic Services entering in the Dairy Days parade. SWAC commissioners and Republic Services representatives walked the parade and handed out educational materials. We went ahead and distributed bookmarks throughout City Hall and around the community to further explain the program. SWAC initiated an annual activity at the Public Works Expo. SWAC answered questions and educated the public on clean recycling and Youth Commissioner Jacob Chambers was able to obtain reusable bags from Albertsons to give away as swag during the event. Republic Services donated some games that we could use and some more swag to give out for the participants in those games. I want to say that SWAC -- the commissioners are very excited about expanding the educational materials that we can hand out in this year -- the second year of participating in the expo. SWAC received numerous presentations throughout the year with Pacific Recycling refreshing our understanding of their operations and Republic Services detailing numerous aspects of their activities. SWAC handled numerous activities to improve services in the community, including obtaining compliance by contractors and you haulers, developing a rate chart to compare costs in the Treasure Valley and maintaining a services chart to facilitate citizen, knowledge something they can go to to see what they can receive at the curbside and resolving questions about container standards. SWAC vetted and produced a recommendation on safe and efficient collection of waste and recyclables at schools and -- and commercial entities in the city. We thank the Council for their consideration and support of that ordinance change. SWAC formed the annual Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 7 of 31 rate adjustment review vetting proposed changes and recommending approval to the Council. Again, we thank you for your consideration. SWAC participated in the county solid waste advisory committee. The committee has been a valuable path for communication between the communities and Ada County and numerous issues were discussed throughout the year. The committee is being renewed at this time and we look forward to the continued collaboration effort. I was -- had the pleasure to represent Meridian at that committee meeting and in my -- when I had to take a break with it, Commissioner Caldwell was able to fill in for me doing admirably. I want to take a second and talk about 2017 and the things that are -- that we are looking forward to. We are promoting -- going to continue promoting that Hand-In-Hand We Recycle program. Continue the development of a five-year strategic solid waste plan for the City of Meridian and if it were developed to bring it forward for your consideration. We will continue monitoring glass recycling and yard composting market trends. We are closely monitoring the -- well, Republic's pilot grass recycling program in light of the major changes that Boise is planning to implement this coming year . We will continue to participate in the Ada County Solid Waste Advisory Committee. We will participate in the Ada County Hazardous -- Household Hazardous Waste Program meetings and Commissioner Nelson has been attending those meetings and representing us quite well. We will continue to provide training with Republic Services and staff commissioners assistance for code enforcement officers on solid waste ordinance, including, but not limited to, sections pertaining to you haulers. We will do continued expansion of the role of the youth commissioner to coordinate with MYAC on many activities that we have throughout the year and, then, we are going to -- we are working on a new program, which is the presentation following this one on a Trash To Treasure program. So, I will go into that next. In conclusion, it's been a very productive year for SWAC and SWAC continues to gain experience and appreciation of the many challenges facing the solid waste and recycling industries. SWAC's commitment is steadfast to work with our partners to identify and recommend to the -- to you, the Council, improved physically sound, trash and recycling services and programs for the benefit of Meridian residential and commercial customers and SWAC looks forward to an even greater productivity in the year to come. And with that I would stand for questions or direction. Milam: Mr. President? Bird: Mrs. Milam. Milam: Thank you, Steve, for the very thorough report and it's nice to see so much of your -- of your team here to support you tonight. There is a sudden increase over the last year in the community recycling fund and I think we were working on that close to zero balance for a few years it seemed like. Can you tell -- can you just elaborate a little bit of where that money has come from ? Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 8 of 31 Cory: Markets have been extremely soft for a number of years . There were a number of problems. There was a port strike over on the west coast that made it so getting recycled materials to China was not as possible and that created a lot more material that was going to the domestic aluminum recyclers and -- and cardboard facilities and such and a lot of those resolved themselves and, then, I would say that the attention that was given over the last couple of years to the program was very beneficial to us when we issued the report a year ago and there were some efficiencies that were found and were put in place and, basically, we are just seeing the market come back together, the economy get a little bit stronger, a little bit more demand for cardboard and aluminum and various other things and so were benefiting from that improved situation . Milam: Mr. President, one more question. Bird: Mrs. Milam. Milam: Thank you, Steve. I mean that's wonderful to see those funds just rise so much. On the Hand-In-Hand We Recycle -- I love that program. Sorry. I know Andrea fills it daily. But do you know who else -- or where else the products are coming for into that utility that we are receiving so much money back? Cory: Well, one of the great services that that is providing is that a lot of our -- our apartment complexes and other facilities did not have the -- were not designed originally to have the dual bins for garbage and, then, for recyclable materials and so as this program was developed those residents didn't have an ability to go ahead and participate and so we are seeing quite a few people come over with their materials -- strong indications that that's what we are getting is that these people getting the chance to recycle where they really didn't have an opportunity before. Milam: Wonderful. Thank you. Cavener: Mr. President? Bird: Mr. Cavener. Cavener: Steve, I look forward to your presentation. I think you're a great representative of the commission and it's great to see so many of them here. In your report you alluded to some potential changes occurring in the municipality to the east of us and can see or read in the paper about the city of Boise moving to composting. Is that something that SWAC has discussed and is there any information that you're prepared to share with us tonight? Cory: You know, the commission has considered this a very important topic and for years we have educated ourselves on composting activities. We felt that as far as we could go in a very unsure situation was to initiate the pilot program that Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 9 of 31 we have had over the last couple of years. That pilot program allowed citizens of Meridian to go ahead and pay a subscription fee and they could have their grass picked up and delivered to one of the farms south of town and it was put together into a soil amendment and, then, applied to the farms down there and used for agricultural purposes. We felt like that half step was a good starting point, knowing that Meridian -- that Boise was approaching this from a whole different standpoint. Their council is indicating that their citizens are willing to go ahead and do a program for grass and leaves that's fully orchestrated by the city . We don't really know what -- we don't presume what would be appropriate for Meridian, but we knew that that would be half the material in this county and it would significantly affect the market and so Boise is moving to a process to have another can at each of the residents where grass and, actually, food scraps, banana peels and other things, would be picked up and it would be delivered to the -- to their property out on Kuna Mora Road to allow it to be composted and, then, provide compost to their citizens and they have created a fairly structured fee system, essentially, building participation into their costs and, then, presuming that you actually participate , then, you get a little bit of a break and if you compost on your property, then, you can get a waiver and some other things. It's certainly a pretty major impact to the Treasure Valley and the use of this material. I think our position would be that we will try to work up a good report on this and if it works for you to maybe talk about some things that we think might be more attuned to Meridian citizens and , then, present it to you for your consideration. I know in talking with Boise, their view is that their program will take a little bit of time to stabilize and , then, they will go ahead and open it up later on for other communities to participate and add on, but I'm not really sure if that necessarily matches the way our citizens think. So, we are not prejudice on this yet. We are not even sure how -- of all the facts associated with it, but we do intend to go ahead and pull it all together and present it to you sometime this year. Cavener: Great. Thank you. Bird: Any other questions at this point? Thanks, Steve, and thank you to all your commission. C. Solid Waste Advisory Commission: Trash or Treasure Pilot Program Bird: And I see the next item you and Brett is going to present that. Are you ready to do that, too? Cory: Yes. Bird: Let's do her. Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 10 of 31 Cory: Mr. President. Yeah. And I do want to go ahead and thank our commissioners that are here in attendance. Bird: Yes. Cory: Why don’t you stand up. I have really appreciated their work with me and I'm glad they are here. Bird: Thank you. Cory: Thank you for your indulgence on that. The commission had the great opportunity this year to have one of our citizens go ahead and bring forth something that he had observed in another community and so I want to go ahead and bring Brett Baranco, a member of our Meridian Police Department, up here and he's going to go ahead and go into the details of it, but it was something that really energized the commission and we think you might be very interested in it . Bird: Thank you, Steve. Welcome, Brett. Baranco: Thank you, Mr. President, Council Members. And, again, thank you, Steve, for that introduction. My name is Brett Baranco, I am the chairman for Trash or Treasure subcommittee and on February 22nd I was able to go in front of the Solid Waste Advisory Commission and speak to them about this program in hopes that they would vote for me to come forward to you guys today and as you can tell unanimously voted an approval for me to share with you guys my program. But first before I go into it, I do want to paint a little bit of a face that was able to introduce this idea to me. It would be my family, specifically through my wife Katie Rush, her sister's family. The Claus family. They are from Stony Plain, Alberta, Canada, and the woman in the picture would be her sister Janine Claus. Her husband Matt Claus. And their three beautiful children. In the middle would be the oldest Abigail. For short Abby. On the right would be the middle child. Rebecca. For short Becca. And, of course, you can't -- can't look away from that little one, Karas in the purple shirt. One day Matt discovered a rash near his armpit that wouldn't go away no matter what the doctors did to treat it. They found out that he had melanoma cancer and on April the 19th , 2016, last year, he did succumb to it and these three pictures were the last times these girls got to see their father alive as they said their final goodbyes . My wife and I went up to Stony Plain at the end of April to attend his funeral and to help our sister around the house or in any way that we could for her eventually move back to the States. While we were up there we found out about a program that has been going on for ten years at Stony Plain, that one weekend annually the residents would place unwanted items at the edge of their yard in hopes that someone will come by and take it for their own use . The hunt for hidden treasure that might be junk to one person, yet of use to another. If the items weren't taken, the local garbage collectors would come and take what was left to the landfill. It was, actually, truly amazing to experience firsthand. While helping my sister clean her Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 11 of 31 house for the eventual move, we were able to get rid of so much stuff that would have cost us time and money to give away, sell, or take the landfill ourselves, not to mention the many times of me wishing that I was in the States, so that I could bring back a lot of other -- of the residents' stuff myself. Seeing the community come together to repurpose old items made me think that Meridian would be a perfect place to have a program such as this. Since the City of Meridian strives to be a place that is full of diverse activities to keep itself s eparate from other cities and SWAC seeks programs to programmers -- to promote recycling in the community and to divert materials from the landfill through focus of the se four R's, reduce, recycle, repurpose and reuse, Meridian would be a perfect place to make this idea work. So, I was able to bring this topic to the Solid Waste Advisory Commission on June 26th, 2016, of last year, but they were missing close to half of their board members, so they wanted me to come back to their next meeting on July 27th. During this meeting the board members voted unanimously to create a subcommittee to work out the details and create the plans for a pilot year. This was when I was introduced to so many wonderful people who helped put in their own time and efforts into this program. Without these people and their dedication to the idea of Trash or Treasure this would have been lost. I am truly appreciative to everyone involved. And forgive me if I do mispronounce a name. Andrea Pogue. Genesis Milam. Rachele Klein. Scott Walters. Steve Cory. Steve Sedlacek. Justin Jensen. Kaycee Emery. Ken Corder. Cade Coltrin and Burney Glen HOA. Tim Dublin and Copper Basin HOA. Cheryl Iseri. Carman Wilson. And Leslie McClurg with Havasu Creek HOA. And Mike Madsen with MGM Association Management. Once again, I cannot express how thankful I am to these individuals and communities for their support. The Trash or Treasure subcommittee gathered for nine one hour -- nine one hour meetings. The meetings were a mix of people in attendance, but we were able to work hard and crackdown on details for the pilot year. This is the logo that we came up with that we thought would reflect well on Meridian's views and standards. We came up with the tagline give your unwanted items a chance for a new beginning. We feel that really represents the purpose behind the program and recycle instead of throwing away. We felt a good time to initiate this program for the pilot year would be April 29th thru April 30th . The reason is because of Meridian's already program that is in use spring cleanup. This is what also made me think that the program could work for the beginning, because Meridian has already worked so hard to create spring cleanup , as well as having a few years of successful runs. But instead of throwing away the items, this is where Trash or Treasure would really come in handy to merge with spring cleanup in an attempt to get rid of the unwanted items before taking them to the landfill. I have used spring cleanup myself before with happiness, but also a little bit regret, because I got rid of something that could have been used by someone else. I was lazy and it really wasn't a good donatable item , but now it's in a landfill and Trash or Treasure could have given my items a second chance and use. Spring cleanup in some residences is May 1st and that is why we thought April 29th and April 30th would work well for Trash or Treasure and I should note that the treasure hunt that Stony Plain does will not allow multiple items to the Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 12 of 31 landfill that Meridian actually does, which means this will be an easier program for people to participate in and more options for items to get rid of. We are not sure at this point if the event will be targeted to a specific community every year or to be a citywide event, but we didn't want to unleash this program to everyone in Meridian on the first year. So, we picked a target area of HOA neighborhoods that would find interest in participating in the first year. We came across Burney Glen, Copper Basin, and Havasu Creek. All these neighborhoods loved the idea and wanted to make Trash or Treasure a success. With these three neighborhoods combined it will give us 488 residential homes to work with in seeing what will happen during that weekend and I should also note that all of these residents will have a garbage pickup Monday, May 1st. We were able to develop a flyer that gives the details about Trash or Treasure. Republic Services has graciously expressed support in paying for the cost of these flyers. The flyers will be posted on the HOA Facebook pages and NextDoor accounts four weeks prior to April 29th. The subcommittee, as well as possible MYAC members, will, then, go out two weeks priors -- two weeks prior throughout the neighborhoods and rubber band them to the doors. This will also be sent via HOA and MGM Management e-mail to the residents Wednesday before April 29th. We feel this will be help embed the idea of Trash or Treasure before the final weekend. We were also able to create a video that will be used to promote the who, what, when, where and how of Trash or Treasure. Once again, Republic Services has generously purchased the video , so that we may use it on the city YouTube channel, through a link that is on the flyer and we will be using the e-mails that will be sent via the HOAs and MGM Management's e-mails. I do have the video. However, due to the technical difficulties I sadly will not be able to play it. I know. It is very good, as you can hear in the background. But I will have Andrea Pogue send to you -- everyone, so that you guys can witness it. We thought having a vertical banner at the entrances of the HOA neighborhoods would help spark interest into Trash or Treasure. They will be erected two days prior to the weekend of the event and, once again, will be paid for by Republic Services. I absolutely cannot express the gratitude we have towards Rachele Klein and Republic Services for supporting us so much. When the day of the event comes a few subcommittee membe rs will patrol the area, taking pictures, documenting what's being put out, what's being picked up and just the general foot traffic. We will also seek the aid of MYAC members in helping us obtain these notes. Victoria Madrigal with MYAC and SWAC made a clear point to get MYAC and her school involved with this task, that we are truly grateful to her. At the end of the weekend, after Republic Services has picked up the remainder of the items, we will have the HOAs and MGM send an e-mail that contains a link to the Survey Monkey to ask a few basic questions about the community experience. Questions like did they participate. What items did they place out. What items did they find and keep. What were their overall thoughts on the program, as well as a few other questions that the committee will fine tune. To make sure no clutter is left on the streets, a week or two past the event we will go to Meridian police code enforcement in help searching for any violations that might be present. And, then, the subcommittee will once more gather to view the Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 13 of 31 results and present them to the Solid Waste Advisory Commission and to the City Council. If the event is a success, which it will be, we will create a news release to show the community what was done and create interest and future Trash or Treasure events. So, to sum up, Trash or Treasure will be a creative and community involved program that promotes repurposing before disposing. We will attach to your already in use program spring cleanup for the pilot year will be held on the weekend of April 29th and 30th and will take place for the first year in the Burney Glen, Copper Basin, and Havasu Creek communities. The Trash or Treasure subcommittee will come together once more after the event and present the final findings of the outcome to SWAC and City Council. Not to mention that the pilot year will cost the city zero dollars. Bird: We like that. Baranco: Trash or Treasure. Where one person's trash is someone else's treasure. And now I would like to -- actually, I was going to play my video, we don't have a video, so as chairman of Trash or Treasure subcommittee I would like to thank you for your time, answer any questions you might have, and ultimately ask you to vote to allow Trash or Treasure to become a part of Meridian city. Thank you. Bird: Council, any questions for Brett? Milam: Mr. President? Bird: Mrs. Milam. Milam: Brett, great presentation. Obviously, I'm a big supporter, also on the subcommittee. Did you want to explain the MJC or logo or -- Baranco: I was trying to sneak it in, but -- Milam: Well, you want to point that out. Baranco: It is my brother's initials. Matthew Johnson Claus. MJC. Milam: A little tribute to your brother-in-law. I think that's really -- really special. Bird: Any other questions, Council? If not, I would entertain or -- Cavener: Mr. President, I will make a motion. Brett, great -- very thorough presentation. As someone who as a child enjoyed going to my grandparents' house, because we make the annual trip to the dump where I would find my treasure. This intrigued me, but as I have always learned, though, sometimes some people's trash is just trash. I was a little concerned when I first started to hear about this, but I think the plan as it coincides with spring cleanup was very Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 14 of 31 thoughtful. It appears you have done your due diligence and I like that it is being centralized in three neighborhoods. Can't wait to see what you guys accomplish with this. So, with that, if Councilman Milam is okay, I want to -- I don't want to step on your toes and make the motion, but -- all right. I would move that we accept the presentation for the Trash or Treasure pilot program and allow that program to occur the date presented. Milam: Second. Bird: Okay. You have heard the motion and the second. Mr. Clerk, roll coll. Let's roll call it. Roll Call: Bird, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, yea; Cavener, yea; Palmer, yea; Little Roberts, yea. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Bird: Thank you, Brett, very much. Baranco: Thank you, everyone. I really do appreciate it. Bird: Thank you for your hard work. We appreciate it. D. Historic Preservation Commission: Budget Amendment for Certified Local Government Grant in the Not-to- Exceed amount of $3,500 Bird: Okay. Hillary, we have got Item B, Historic Preservation budget amendment. Bodnar: Hi. Bird: Good evening, Hillary. How are you? Bodnar: I'm good. How are you? Bird: Very good. Thank you. Bodnar: Wonderful. Mr. President, Members of the Council, I am presenting a budget amendment on -- for the Historic Preservation Commission. On February 23rd we were given a letter of award from the Idaho State Historical Society for a grant for 3,500 dollars for the Meridian Walking Tour update. Right now, as you guys know, we rolled out the walking tour in two phases. So, we actually have two separate brochures which can be confusing to people at times and we have actually ordered more of a single brochure with the -- knowing that we wanted to eventually combine them, but we had a lot left over and we didn't want to get rid Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 15 of 31 of something that we have already printed and purchased and so, conveniently, we are getting close to the end of our two separate brochures and we had the opportunity to apply for a certified local government grant from the Idaho State Historical Society and we were awarded that grant. So, they are willing to match all of the funds to, basically, update the design, they are not exactly consistent with the updates and content and, then, reprint a combined brochure for the walking tour. So, the budget amendment before you is, essentially, asking for spending authority for those grant monies that were awarded to the Historic Preservation Commission. Bird: Any questions for Hillary? Borton: Mr. President? Bird: Mr. Borton. Borton: Real quick. Hillary, while you're on the topic, can you give us an update on the development of the walking tour app? Bodnar: Yes. Borton: I presume these funds can't be used towards a digital version. Bodnar: These funds can't be used towards the app, but we will be able to include a link, you know, like a scan to that app or information off that app in the brochures also, which is another good reason. The app is, essentially, a digital brochure, so that would be updated a lot more frequently and has a lot more content. At the next HPC meeting, which is Thursday, we are doing training for the app that's, essentially, ready to be rolled out for the public. Borton: Great. Bird: Any other questions? Mr. Palmer. Palmer: Mr. President, I move we approve the budget amendment for 3,500 dollars. Milam: Second. Bird: You have heard the motion to approve for the budget amendment of 3,500 dollars and the second. Roll call, please. Roll Call: Bird, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, yea; Cavener, yea; Palmer, yea; Little Roberts, yea. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 16 of 31 Bodnar: Thank you. Item 8: Action Items A.

I would entertain a motion, if it's ok with you, Council, to continue those three items to March 21st. Borton: Mr. President? Bird: Mr. Borton. Borton: I would move that we continue Items 8-A, B and C, that's H-2017-0004, H-2017-0005, and H-2017-0012 to March 21st, 2017. Cavener: Second. Bird: Okay. You heard the motion and the second. All in favor say aye. Any opposed? Passes. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. D. Continued from February 28, 2017: YMCA Building Permit Partial Fee Waiver Request Bird: Okay. Continued from February 28th, the YMCA building permit partial fee waiver request. Mr. Siddoway. Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 17 of 31 Siddoway: Mr. President, Members of the Council, I was before you last week, so I'm happy to give as much or as little as you would like tonight. I do want to thank you for allowing us to hold an initial conversation last week while Madam Mayor could be here, as well as the vice-president David Duro, who are both out of town this week. Some highlights may be worth mentioning. Last year we -- the city entered into a partnership with the YMCA for the project known as The Hill in south Meridian, which will include a park for the city, as well as the -- the YMCA, Hillsdale Elementary School is already there, and we are, basically, in a partnership where we try to act in good faith to the benefit of each other and to the benefit of the project. Examples on Y's side toward the city have included -- they are planning to build a parking lot for the park. They are handling on the land -- accepting land donations until the property lines can be determined and last year they sold us the Home Court at a favorable price, so that those proceeds are not slated to be used at The Hill. The request before you tonight is to consider waiving any portions of the building permit fees that are considered indirect fees or soft costs. Bruce Freckleton presented last week. You have his memo. Just as a quick summary, they are not proposing any waiver of the planning division fees. No waiver of the land development division fees. Both of those are already paid. They are not proposing any waiving of the Public Works Department fees, including sanitary sewer and water assessments or water meters. And they are also not proposing any waiver of police or fire impact fees. The portion that is proposed to be waived is part of the permit fees that are the city's cost for overhead. The -- a portion that is paid to -- by the city to independent contractors are the hard costs that are not proposed to be waived . In summary, the amount of soft costs proposed to be waived would amount to $104,208.07 and I will stand for any questions. Bird: Any questions, Council, for Steve? Okay. Siddoway: Thank you. Bird: Thank you, Steve. What's your pleasure, Council? Little Roberts: Mr. President? Bird: Mrs. Little Roberts. Little Roberts: I move that we accept the proposal and waive the soft cost fees not to exceed 105,000 dollars. Cavener: Second. Bird: Got a motion and second to approve. Any questions? Palmer: Mr. President? Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 18 of 31 Bird: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: I know we jumped to a motion, but I know it's not designated as a public hearing, but I'm curious if we have interest in hearing from anybody from the public, should there be anybody that would like to testify on it, which it looks like there is. Bird: Council, what's your pleasure? My pleasure is okay. We have got a motion and a -- and a second. Cavener: I will withdraw. Bird: Do you want to withdraw your second? Cavener: I will withdraw the second. Little Roberts: I will withdraw my motion. Bird: Okay. Anybody in the public wants to testify? State your name and address, please. Wardle: Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Council. Shaun Wardle, 2239 East Griner Street here in Meridian. Thank you for j ust a brief opportunity and thank you for holding this item over. I wasn't able to make it last week based on sort of a short agenda notice. So, I appreciate just a brief question. Actually, I have one question as I read through the staff report I noticed that there are references to things that have not taken a precedence, so one of the questions that I had either for staff or for the Council is what other fee waivers have been approved by this body for projects? Chatterton: Mr. President, Council Members, to my knowledge -- I'm not sure I have a complete list over the years, but since I have been around the Girls & Boys Club there were a considerable number of fee waivers associated with that project. I'm not recalling any other off the top of my head. Bird: Bruce, Council, I -- I know that we -- and I'm not too sure that we didn't waive some fees at certain times, even when Mr. Wardle was a councilman, but the Boys & Girls Club is the only one I think -- I know there is others. We waive fees, of course, on the schools and stuff like that, but that's -- Nary: Mr. President? Bird: -- that's just taking out of one pocket book to the other. Nary: Mr. President? Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 19 of 31 Bird: Mr. Nary. Nary: Mr. President, Members of the Council, the other one that comes to mind -- and it's been a number of years -- probably five years or more -- was during the --at the peak or the valley of the recession period there was certain areas of town that we waived impact fees. Portico area was one of those. So, that was to get a stimulus opportunity. But in like recreation sense, probably, again, the school facilities. We have an agreement with them to waive those fees, as well as the Boys & Girls Club. Bird: Thank you. Sean, that's all I can -- Wardle: Thank you. I appreciate it. Bird: And I know we have -- I know we have waived fees, but I -- Wardle: So, just a quick follow up question. I guess maybe I'm not following. Only a percentage of fees that would be waived. I'm assuming that -- that if any or all of a portion of the fees are waived that the services provided under the building division fees are still going to be provided; is that correct? Okay. So, they will be provided. So, I guess my real question is who picks up the difference? Bird: The -- the only thing we are actually waiving is -- is the cost of our labor to do the administration of it. Our inspectors that do the work, the actual fieldwork, are not waving their fees. Wardle: Okay. Bird: Those fees are not being waived. So, all we are waving is what we spend with administration fees, you know, off of help working at the counter or doing this kind of stuff. We are not waving -- we are not waiving the others -- any hard costs. These are -- this is soft costs. Wardle: Okay. So, those -- so, those would be the General Fund costs or building division -- I guess -- Bird: Well, they would -- this department has turned back quite a bit of money every year to General Fund, but -- Wardle: I guess my real question is would the -- would the taxpayers be picking up the difference or is it -- Bird: No. Wardle: -- future and current building owners applying for this? Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 20 of 31 Bird: This -- this department stands on their fees. Wardle: Okay. Bird: It gets little or none from the General Fund. Is that not right, Bruce? Chatterton: I’m sorry, Council Member Bird, President Bird, I -- there was a discussion going over here, so I missed the question. Bird: We are not forfeiting any money to the taxpayers -- or the taxpayers fees; right? Chatterton: No. Actually, I believe that if Todd Lavoie were here he would tell you that we have -- over the last several years has in the neighborhood of nine million dollars of fees, which are in excess of projections. Bird: Yeah. You were -- Chatterton: In excess of budget. And so, basically, is what it's doing is reducing that amount. Typically that money goes towards the Council and you all typically spend it on capital projects, often Parks and Recreation projects. So, what it's really doing is -- is reducing that amount from the development services fund by a certain extent. Bird: Yeah. Wardle: Thank you. I stand for any questions. Bird: Any questions? Palmer: Mr. President? I guess, then, to clarify, it would seem that the -- the staff time is being paid for by profits made from other developers and their projects? Bird: It's like any private business, you have profit in it. Cavener: Mr. President? Before maybe a motion is made, a question for staff. Bruce, do you recall what the -- I know that with the Boys & Girls Club project that some of those soft costs were donated, but what was the total cost of fees waived that were controlled by the city with that project? Chatterton: Mr. President, Council Member Cavener, I don't -- the amount I believe was comparable to this amount in that it was in the -- it was in the six figures -- low six figures. I don't recall the exact amount. I'm sorry, I don't recall that. Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 21 of 31 Bird: Mr. Cavener, I don't recall the same amount, but we are talking about a 18 million dollar building, compared to a three million dollar building. I'm sure that it wasn't this amount, but -- Chatterton: It -- it would have been less, yes. Bird: It would have been less, but it was substantial. Cavener: Mr. President, if I may. I believe it was comparable and that's the reason that I asked is -- in making full disclosure I voted against that motion against the Boys & Girls Club, because I was concerned of the precedent that we would set as a Council. This Council made that determination that we wanted to support projects that were a benefit to our community and when I see the dollar amount that this Council's -- that's before us to potentially vote to waive is comparable to a much larger project with the same amount of fees, to me I think - - I see this as -- as a good decision, so, obviously, I will be supporting the motion. Bird: Any other questions? Discussion? If not I will entertain a motion. Little Roberts: Mr. President? Bird: Mrs. Anna. Little Roberts: I move that we approve the request to waive the indirect and soft costs not to exceed 105,000 dollars. Cavener: Second. Bird: Motion to approve and a second on waiving 105 dollars -- 105,000 dollars of soft cost fees for the YMCA building. Mr. Clerk -- Borton: Mr. President? Bird: Mr. Borton. Borton: Just brief discussion. I think it's a wonderfully noble intent. The intent is noble and I -- and I appreciate that. I can't get myself to make the findings necessary to support the motion, so -- I know that probably needs to be on the record as well what those particular findings are, but I don't think it can be done, so -- I also do think it invites a precedent that -- that we may not want to open the door to going forward. If our fees have validity in the first place and recapture costs that are necessary to recapture, so -- Bird: Any other discussion? Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 22 of 31 Palmer: Mr. President? Bird: Mr. Palmer. Palmer: Mr. President, it's often cited that they are paying for a parking lot that we would normally have to pay for for a park that we are building when -- instead of trading asphalt for -- for permit fees, I'd much rather us just pay for the parking lot and not waive permit fees, even if to the same dollar amount where -- if the parking lot costs more than 105, we pay for the first 105 or figure out some way of that to just kind of keep the record straight and to solve the issues that Councilman Borton brought up that the -- the findings are hard to quantify or kind of a stretch to -- to get us there. Bird: Any other discussion? We got the motion and second. Call for the question. Mr. Clerk. Roll Call: Bird, yea; Borton, nay; Milam, yea; Cavener, yea; Palmer, nay; Little Roberts, yea. Bird: Four to two. Passes. Thank you. MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. TWO NAYS. E. Public Hearing for Destination Place No. 3 (H-2017-0013) by Fulbright Investments, LLC Located 1510 S. Celebration Avenue 1. Request: Short plat two (2) commercial lots on approximately 1.77 acres in the C-G zoning district Bird: Item E, public hearing for Destination Place H-2017-0013. I will open the public hearing and I don't think you're Mr. Parsons, but Mr. -- Bruce, you're Mr. Parsons tonight. Chatterton: Mayor Bird. I'm sorry, I just wanted to say that. Mayor Bird and Council, Destination Place No. 3 consists of 1.77 acres, zoned C-G, located at 1510 South Celebration Avenue. This proposed short plat depicts two commercial lots on, as I mentioned, 1.77 acres of land. The plat is a resubdivision of Lot 2, Block 2 of Destination Place Subdivision. All lots in the proposed subdivision comply with the dimensional standards of the C -G zoning district. A 6,200 square foot restaurant is approved and proposed to be constructed on Lot 2A. Future development of Lot 2B will require the approval of a certificate of zoning compliance and administrative design review application prior to applying for a building permit. Staff finds the proposed plat to be in substantial compliance with these requirements and recommends the approval as proposed. Carl Porter -- a written testimony. Carl Porter representing the Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 23 of 31 applicant, is in agreement with the conditions of the staff report. Happy to answer any questions.

Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 24 of 31 Roll Call: Bird, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, yea; Cavener, yea; Palmer, yea; Little Roberts, yea. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Item 9: Department Reports A. Finance and HR: Benefits Roadshow for FY2018 Budget Bird: Thank you. Department Reports. Item A, Finance and HR, benefits roadshow. Crystal or Todd, which one? No. Christena gets it. Barney: While they are getting my presentation set up -- good evening, Mr. Council President, Members of Council. It's nice to be in front of you this evening. I stand before you to present the first in a series of informational presentations known as the Finance and HR roadshow, which kicks off the presentations for the FY-18 budget. I will wait for them to get that up real quick. There we go. All right. Thank you. So, we have a full agenda of items to present to you this evening. I don't anticipate dominating a whole lot of your time, but this is for informational purposes. We will be communicating a lot of information that will have significant budgetary impacts. The information will be presented in a series to allow you time to process and, then, we will be back in front of you in a few weeks for some direction and guidance. So, as I said, this is the series that we will be coming into . This is the roadshow, as you call it. This evening's focus is on healthcare benefits, which is my specialty. Next week we will be back with a presentation for the city's compensation plan and, then, the following week we will be back -- Todd will be back to do the allowable three percent property tax projections and, then, receive your guidance and direction for all three topics. So, just as a reminder, it's been a little while since I have been in front of you going over benefits information , so I did want to remind you that the city does have a standard operating process . It's titled group health and related benefits policy. This policy is in place to outline the benefits that are available to city employees, who qualifies for those benefits and, then, the information we were required to provide those qualified employees. Also as a federal mandate the city complies with the requirements of the Afforda ble Care Act by offering benefits to all city employees who meet the ACA minimum eligibility and I will get a little more into it. The last bullet there. So, any employee that works 30 or more hours per week more than six months is considered benefit eligible in the eyes of the ACA and IRS. We do have a benefits committee that meets pretty much year around. You can see the committee members that are listed here. The purpose of the committee is to support and implement the strategic plan objective 3.B.1 to develop a cost- effective and comprehensive benefits plan. It is important to know as we move through the budget process that in order to continue to attract and retain high caliber employees and be a premier city, the city must have a competitive and Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 25 of 31 effective benefit program in place. So, when the committee meets these are some of the goals that we strive to achieve . Create a competitive benefit package that will attack -- attract and reach and retain employees, manage costs for the city, as well as our employees, that is sustainable. Remain compliant with the ACA and, then, provide employee choice. We do currently contract with Mercer as our benefits broker. They assist us with providing market trends, comparisons, guiding and educating our benef its committee, just keeping us in the know of what the landscape looks like as healthcare is ever-changing and, then, within the last eight years they have been able to negotiate almost 900,000 dollars in premium reductions, so they have done a good job in assisting us. Some of the factors that the benefits committee has to take in consideration before they make a recommendation to Council for approval is that the benefits plan is fair and competitive, that it's fiscally responsible, it attracts -- attracts and retains. We have to consider our experience rating and I will get more into that in a minute. Employee choice and, then, ACA compliant. Those are all moving parts that have to be considered before we can make a recommendation for any benefit changes. And I'm sure you probably have all seen the hype about the new administration changes. Everything is still unclear. There was a proposal made last night, but I do want to reiterate it is a proposal at this point and I will get into a little bit more of that later in this presentation. Here is where we landed for 2017. So, our current employee benefits are in place. There were no plan design changes and you received a rate pass from all of our benefit venders for 2017. We have 368 employees enrolled in the Preferred Blue, which is the traditional medical plan and, then, we have 26 employees enrolled in the high- deductible plan, which we began last year. So, this is the second year for that plan. In 2017 -- this is just a brief breakdown of the employee premium. So, we instituted a 40 dollar employee premium two years ago and of the employees currently enrolled in the plan, 290 of them are paying zero premium. So, they were able to buy that 40 dollar premium down by wellness participation and nontobacco use. So, what does this all mean? Good news for us. Looking year over year we have increased participation in wellness programs. We have decreased sick leave usage and we have decreased our medical experience rating. Why is that important? This information helps determine an ROI for the wellness program, which appears to have a direct correlation with our medical premiums and indirectly to our productivity. We have come a long way in the wellness program and I'm very proud of what we have accomplished. Wellness, however, is an ever change -- is ever changing with the needs of the employees, regulations, et cetera. So, we will always continue to make improvements and changes to our program to accommodate the changing landscape. Rates and ratings. How are our medical rates determined? So, I have thrown out experience rating a couple times already in this presentation. It has c ome to my attention that not everyone knows what that means. Experience rating is derived from the amount of premium that the city pays to Blue Cross versus the amount of claims they pay out. That develops our experience rating and that helps determine what our premium rates are going to look like for the next year . So, I divert for a moment to give you some persp ective. A significant factor to our Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 26 of 31 experience rating is how we use our medical benefits , also known as consumerism. Consumerism is knowing your benefits, knowing your treatment options and making wise decisions. For instance, if someone has a cold over the weekend, it's possible the best option is for them to wait until Monday to go see their regular physician. Second would be urgent care and most expensive , least optimal option, would be to go to the ER. Knowing available options and how they affect the premium rates will be our employees education focus for this year. So, I have discussed with Mercer some education that we are going to push out to the employees that helps them understand experience rating and consumerism and how their medical choice s affect their coworkers and the premiums that everyone pays as a whole . So, with that in mind, if we have an experience rating over a hundred percent Blue -- which means Blue Cross has paid out more in premium -- or more in claims than we have paid in premiums, we are likely going to see an increase in our experience rating and our premiums. If the experience rating is below one hundred percent, optimally at 85 percent, we will see little to no increase. Last year we were very lucky. We had 102 percent experience rating and still received a rate pass. So, last year was very nice. All of our choices as users of the benefits affects the bottom line. So, that is going to be our communication to the employees. Thankfully we were able to end 2016 calendar year with a 14-year low rating of 85.48 percent experience, which is very exciting. I'm very proud of that. However, please, keep in mind that the uncertainty of the future of the ACA may -- may have an impact on our rates as a whole. Planning and looking forward. The benefits committee will continue to meet to discuss plan design structure and funding for the coming year. Finance has budgeted a 3.02 placeholder for the FY-18 budget. There is a chart below that shows the total insurance cost from 2002 to 2016 and in the budgeted cost for 2017 and '18 taking into account the -- the placeholder. Actual 2018 rates will not be available until mid or late summer. So, I will be back to discuss those rates with you and any recommendations that the Council may have. Human resources will continue to monitor and provide a formal recommendation for the FY-80 budget as renewal rates and data become available. Just as a reminder, this is for informational purposes only and I do have a packet that you can take with you to review the information, make any notes that you may have. We will be back next week with more information on the compensation plan and, then, again, on the 21st for property tax projections and, then, seek guidance and direction at that time. Also the FY-18 budget recommendations can be updated and changed until July 19th . Thank you for your time and your attention this evening and I will stand for questions. Bird: Any questions for Christena? Little Roberts: Mr. President? Bird: Mrs. Ann -- Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 27 of 31 Little Roberts: Christena, you mentioned in the beginning and I may have written it down wrong. That you -- if you're an employee for 30 hours a week or more and been six months -- Barney: Uh-huh. Little Roberts: -- I thought it was 60 days. Is it different from a municipality or are there some different levels? Barney: No. The IRS states it's 130 hours in a month. It works out to about 30 hours a week. If we -- we look at a six-month period. If we know that the employee is going to exceed the 30 hours or 130 hours in that six month period, we go ahead and deem them eligible at the time of hire. So, that we are not missing any of them or we are following all the regulations for the ACA and IRS. Little Roberts: Follow up. Bird: Go ahead. Little Roberts: Do the majority of our employees meet that? Barney: The full time, of course. We have about 90 percent or so of the seasonals that do meet that threshold. With some of the proposed changes that the Trump administration has proposed. One of them is repealing the mandate that requires employers to provide benefits for those employees . So, that -- if that goes through that may be something that we would need to come back to Council and get some guidance on. Little Roberts: Okay. Thank you. Barney: Okay. Bird: Any other questions for Christena? Christena, I got a -- it's off the subject, but in your process -- and I don't know whether you or Crystal, but I would like to know the retainage -- the turnover in our city of full-time employees. Not retirements or part-time. I'd like to know the percentage if I could get it. Barney: Okay. Certainly. Bird: Okay. Thank you. And thanks for the presentation. Barney: Of course. Thank you. B. Finance: FY2017 Fund Balance Transfer Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 28 of 31 Bird: That was very informative. Council, we got Mr. Todd coming up. Or is he sending Jenny? Thanks, Christena, very much. Lavoie: Well, thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Council. Again, appreciate allowing us to present to you tonight. Again, tonight we are presenting to you the recommendation from the Finance Department to you as the Council on the amount of money to transfer from the General Fund to Fund 55, which is our capital improvement fund. You should have received some supporting documents in your Council packet that goes along with this presentation. So, again, today we are going to talk about the proposal that Finance is recommending to Council to consider for funds to be transferred from General Fund 01 to Fund 55. We are also going to talk about a proposal for funds to be transferred from the General Fund 01 to Public Safety 08 and, then, we will stand for any questions and stand for any actions that you wish to take based on these proposals that we are recommending to you tonight. So, again, the Fund 55 transfer, there is a city code, which is on the screen for you there that talks about any excess revenues generated by the Community Developm ent Department in the whole can be considered to be transferred on an annual basis to the Capital Improvement Fund for expenses to be incurred at a later date. So, we are here to inform you that the Community Development Department as -- has provided the city with excess revenues for fiscal year 2016 in the amount of 2.275 million. So, the Finance Department is in the position to make a proposal to you based on the actual results from fiscal year 2016 and we are proposing the full access revenues generated by the Community Development Department to be transferred to Fund 55 for future capital needs for the City of Meridian, which would take the current fund balance of 55 from 5.6 million to 7.9 million if the action is taken by Council to move the funds from 01 to Fund 55. Down at the bottom you will see that the General Fund generated a total excess accumulation of a little over three million, which we presented to you last month from our quarterly update. The four -- the five items that generated the three million dollars -- you can see that Community Development generated an excess revenue of 2.2. Impact fees generated an excess of 2.2. And, then, the three following items generated a net deficit of the dollar amount accordingly there. We add them all up you get your three million dollars total for our government General Fund 01. So, again, with the General Fund generating a positive position of three million overall, we do stand with the proposal to move the 2.2 from 01 to Fund 50 -- Fund 55. Apologize. Bird: Todd, can I interrupt you? Lavoie: Yes, sir. Bird: Would you explain the General Fund, the one million, what that -- what that is? That's -- isn't that a payback? Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 29 of 31 Lavoie: The General Fund one million deficit would be the property tax portion of the General Fund that is going to be the expenses incurred by the General Services, the Public Safety, the Administration Department, the Parks Department. These are going to be dollars most likely spent on capital needs that were carried from year to year. So, these dollars we are t apping into the fund balance to make sure those capital items that were previously approved continue to be moved -- continued forward in fiscal '16. Bird: Thank you. Lavoie: You're welcome. Borton: Mr. President? Bird: Yes. Borton: One quick question on this slide. Impact fees are already restricted funds; correct? Lavoie: Mr. President, Councilman Borton, you are correct. All impact fees are restricted by ordinance. Therefore, the impact fees are not really up for discussion. Fund 7 stays independent to itself. So, with that we also have another proposal for you of Fund 8, which is our Public Safety Fund. Every year we present to you what we believe could occur for Fund 8. As the slide says and the document that we provided you, we do not feel that in fiscal year '16 we had excess revenues that would be comfortable to propose to you to transfer funds to Fund 8. Again, the General Fund number at the very bottom is the number that we are kind of looking at. Did the General Fund generate excess revenues to accommodate a proposal. The Finance Department at this -- at this time does not propose to transfer from 01 to Fund 08 for your Public Safety Fund. But, again, you are allowed to make a recommendation. In the documents that I have provided you were the balances for all major funds for you to consider. For the Finance Department for fiscal year '16 we are not proposing a transfer of funds from 01 to Fund 08 at this time. I can stand for any questions on Fund 8 if you have any. Bird: Any question for Todd at all? Very plain. Thank you. Lavoie: So, with that, again, there is a document I provided to you. If you wish to take action on the proposals by the Finance Department to you in regards to Fund 01, transfers to Fund 55 and fund date. Bird: Mr. Nary, do we do that -- do we have to come back with a resolution to transfer them or just a motion? Nary: Mr. President, Members of the Council, just a motion is all you need. Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 30 of 31 Bird: Okay. Council, what's your pleasure? Borton: Mr. President? Bird: Mr. Borton. Borton: That seems well explained and justified. There is not a request to transfer to 08. So, it's a single request to transfer from Fund 01 to Fund 55 for capital improvements. Lavoie: Mr. President, Councilman Borton, that is correct. Borton: Mr. President, I would move to approve the recommended fund transfer from Fund 01 to Fund 055 in the amount of 2,275,054 dollars. Milam: Second. Little Roberts: Second. Bird: Okay. Got a motion and second. Any discussion? Seeing none, Mr. Clerk. Roll Call: Bird, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, yea; Cavener, yea; Palmer, yea; Little Roberts, yea. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Item 10: Future Meeting Topics Bird: Council, that takes care of the business. We got any future meeting topics? Milam: Mr. President? Bird: Mrs. Milam. Milam: Not a future meeting topic, but just wanted to r emind everybody that there is a new artist upstairs in the gallery and that it's a beautiful exhibit and I encourage all of you to go take a look at the artwork. Bird: Thank you. Any other -- I would entertain a motion to adjourn. Milam: So moved. Cavener: Second. Meridian City Council Meeting March 7, 2017 Page 31 of 31 Bird: All in favor? MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Bird: We are adjourned. 7:32. MEETING ADJOURNED AT 7:32 P.M. (AUDIO RECORDING ON FILE OF THESE PROCEEDINGS) TAMMY -E _ RD MAYOR ATTEST: C.

The artist proposed that these mile markers feature local heroes that the community would like to recognize. We could like to invite local students to nominate the five (5) heroes that may be featured these mile markers. ELIGIBILITY: Currently, MAC is reaching out to Meridian arts schools and neighborhood schools to each submit a recommendation. Those schools include: Chief Joseph Elementary, Christine Donnell Elementary, Pioneer Elementary, Renaissance High School, and Willow Creek Elementary. These schools may independently decide how they would like to select their hero recommendation. If one of the invited schools declines to make a recommendation, MAC may reach out to alternate schools for their students’ recommendation. RECOMMENDATION REQUIREMENTS: Please use the hero recommendation form on the next page to submit a recommendation. Each school may only submit one (1) form. Heroes recommended must be:  Local – Someone born locally or who had a major impact locally, limited to Idaho specifically  Real (non-fictional) – Man, woman, animal, living or deceased Materials submitted will not be returned.

Meridian City Hall, Suite 102 33 E. Broadway Avenue Meridian, Idaho 83642 MEMORANDUM March 15, 2017 To: Mayor and City Council From: Bruce Freckleton, Development Services Manager Re: Request for Waiver of Ada County Area of Impact Requirements Dear Mayor and City Council, We received a request from Don and Kendra Taylor, 4090 S. McDermott Road, for a Letter of Waiver from certain Area of Impact requirements of Ada County Code Sections 9-4-3C and 9-4- 3D (see attached). These sections of Ada County Code essentially requires an applicant within the Meridian Urban Service Planning Area to prepare and submit a street and utility easement plan. This plan shall provide for future re -subdivision to urban densities and shall be included on the final plat. The code also requires that an applicant install dry line sewer and water lines to accommodate the future re -subdivision to urban densities. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor will be doing a boundary line adjustment survey through Ada County to divide the 10 acre parcel into two 5 acre pieces. They have no plan to further subdivide into a multi -family development, and simply desire to construct a new family home on their family estate property. The subject property is currently in rural Ada County on the extreme edge Meridian's Area of Impact. There are no plans for the extension of city sewer and water services to this area in the foreseeable future, and therefore their request for waiver appears to be prudent. This request has been reviewed by Dale Bolthouse, Public Works Director, and Warren Stewart, City Engineer, and they both recommend granting the waiver request, and sending the attached letter to Ms. Meg Leatherman, Director of Ada County Development Services per the requirements of Ada County Code Sections 9-4-3C and 4-3D. Thank you, Dale Bolthouse Warren Stewart Bruce encl Ph: 208.887.2211 • www.meridiancity.org • Fax 208.887.1297 Rev:01/2011 Ada County Code 9-4-3: APPLICABLE PLAN POLICIES AND ORDINANCES:O A. The Meridian comprehensive plan, adopted by Ada County resolution 2044, shall apply to the Meridian area of city impact. B. All subdivision plats, situated within the area of impact, shall be submitted to the city of Meridian for approval, in addition to Ada County approval, as provided in Idaho Code section 50-1306. C. All subdivision plat applications in the urban service planning area for land zoned RUT (rural - urban transition) shall require a street and utility easement plan. Said plan shall provide for future resubdivision to urban densities and shall be included on the final plat. This requirement may be waived if a letter of waiver is submitted to the director from the Meridian council prior to preliminary plat approval by the board. D. A condition of approval for all subdivision plats in the urban service planning area for land zoned RUT (rural -urban transition) shall require that, prior to occupancy of the subdivision's first dwelling unit, dry line sewer and water lines shall be installed to accommodate the future resubdivision to urban densities. This requirement may be waived if a letter of waiver is submitted to the director from the Meridian city council prior to preliminary plat approval by the board. E. Title 8 of this code shall be used to implement this chapter. All land use applications shall also comply with the provisions of this chapter. F. The Meridian comprehensive plan shall apply to the property described in Ada County ordinance 508. The land use designation of the adjacent property shall apply to the area described in Ada County ordinance 508. (Ord. 137, 10-17-1984; amd. Ord. 161, 12-10-1986; amd. Ord. 229, 12-20-1990; amd.

The City’s population tripled between 1990 and 2000 and then doubled again between 2000 and 2008. In 2014, Meridian arguably became the second largest City in the State of Idaho and the 10th fastest growing City in the Nation. The City’s population explosion has necessitated the expansion of services, the addition of staff, and the need to better visualize, organize, and plan its future. While growth has been a positive, influencing factor in Meridian’s success, the City must do more to guide growth and the expansion of its services. For the past few years, the City has been conducting surveys of its citizens and employees to gather information regarding its management and planning efforts. These inputs have been a valuable contribution in the development of the City’s Strategic Plan. To truly become the premier place to live, work, and raise a family, the City must be purposeful and visionary in the establishment of financially sound growth goals and the identification of community service expectations. It must then align its fiscal and human resources to achieve those goals. This document endeavors to set, organize, and place a plan into action to accomplish those goals. Strategic Planning: Purpose and Intent Strategic planning is one of the most important responsibilities of the leadership of any organization. It is the activity that establishes a clear vision for the organization and sets appropriate strategic objectives to guide fulfillment of the vision. It also aligns appropriate resources and deployment decisions to achieve the strategic objectives and establishes measures that ensure attainment of those objectives within specified time frames. Like all cities, Meridian is continually faced with a myriad of challenges and opportunities. The demands of growth on budgets, infrastructure, and staffing underscore the need for a comprehensive and clear strategic plan. Because cities must reconcile the needs of a community with a diverse service offering, it is challenging to focus citizens, leaders, and staff in one direction. The role of this strategic plan, therefore, is to provide that focus, facilitate the successful growth of the community, and provide a platform to purposefully advance the City as an organization. This strategic plan will serve as a roadmap for the City’s success over the next five years. It will also serve as a tool to communicate the City’s intentions to the community, focus the direction of its financial resources and employees, and ensure that short-term goals and City of Meridian Amended: March 21, 2017 Strategic Plan Page 4 of 16 objectives are met in a timely fashion to ensure attainment of the City’s overall vision. This plan defines specific results that are to be achieved, outlines a course of action for achieving them, and details measurements to ensure the outcomes of those results. Additionally, this plan will ensure that the most important City priorities are identified, communicated, and achieved with direction and effective planning so that all may know what is expected and how to achieve success. The City will be diligent in focusing its efforts on strategic objectives that it can control and influence within the scope of its mission and vision. The implementation of this plan and the decision making around it will align with the City values. Municipal Organization The City of Meridian lies at the heart of Idaho’s Treasure Valley. Meridian is one of the fastest growing cities in Idaho and it is a magnet for people looking for a family-oriented community in the Intermountain West. A long and vibrant heritage in agriculture has given way to homes and businesses that share a common goal - being part of a diverse and vibrant community that is a great place to work, live, and raise a family. Over the past 25 years, the City has grown substantially. So, too, have its responsibilities, service expectations, and staffing requirements. Today, the City of Meridian is a full service city that contains more than 375 staff members distributed between ten Departments, has an operating budget of more than $90M, and currently serves a population of more than 90,000 residents. This document represents the City of Meridian’s first formalized Strategic Plan. City Services Cities are unique organizations because of the diversity and complexity of their service offerings. Like all cities, Meridian provides many primary services directly to the community while forming partnerships with other governmental units to provide the remainder of services to its citizens.

Strategic Planning: The Process Strategic planning is an iterative but logical process. It involves conducting an environmental scan or SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) of the organization, defining or refining the organization’s mission, vision and value statements, developing goals, establishing objectives, operationalizing and implementing the plan, and monitoring for results. City of Meridian Amended: March 21, 2017 Strategic Plan Page 6 of 16 To establish the City’s strategic plan, the City chose Leadership Advisors Group to facilitate its planning process. The City then developed a Strategic Planning Team comprised of the Mayor and the Executive Leadership Team. The Strategic Planning Team is responsible for the development and articulation of the overall direction of the organization. As Chief Elected Officer, the Mayor will be accountable for the performance and administration of the Strategic Plan. To guide the planning process, the Team was first trained on the Dimensional Strategy® framework. This framework helps leaders to navigate their organization’s complexity to create a unifying, compelling, and achievable strategic plan. Using this framework, the Team participated in an organization-wide Strengths Assessment. The Strengths Assessment helped to measure the City’s planning readiness and overall management strength, as well as identify potential risks during the strategic planning process. Then the Team conducted a SWOT analysis. This analysis was used to identify the key internal and external factors seen as influencing or impacting the City organization. Internal factors (strengths and weaknesses) are controllable by the organization. External factors (opportunities and threats) impact organizations but are not controllable by the organization. From this exercise, the City gained insights that were carried into the strategic planning process. Several Team meetings culminated in the revision of the City’s Mission statement, an update to its Vision statement, and the review and affirmation of its organizational values. Our Mission: We love Meridian; it’s our town and our mission is to cultivate a vibrant community by delivering superior service through committed, equipped employees dedicated to the stewardship of our community’s resources. Our Vision: Where we see ourselves as an organization and community in the future. By 2035, Meridian will be the West’s premier community in which to live, work, and raise a family.

Our Values: The core principles that guide our treatment of one another, our customers, and our decisions. At the City of Meridian, we CARE . That means: • Providing the best Customer Service to our community, colleagues, and partners by listening and responding in a timely, friendly, professional, and solution-oriented manner. • Exemplifying Accountability by understanding our role in the organization, knowing our jobs, and accepting that each of us is responsible for our own work, choices, and actions. Acting as stewards of the community’s resources, our environment, and our relationships. • Showing Respect by being trustworthy and courteous. We honor, accept, and include people with diverse opinions and backgrounds. • Demonstrating continual Excellence through professionalism, going beyond the parameters of our job while being creative, innovative, flexible, and adaptable to multiple needs. Next, the team met with the City Council to discuss the SWOT analysis results, share the mission, vision, and value statements, and brainstorm future strategic initiatives, focus areas, and goals for the City. This strategy session helped the Team narrow the City’s strategic focus areas into five broad categories. By identifying and prioritizing these focus areas, the City has effectually defined the targets into which the City will invest its time, energy, and resources to advance. City of Meridian Amended: March 21, 2017 Strategic Plan Page 8 of 16 Alignment: Goal Formulation Three existing plans also played a role in forming this strategic plan. While the strategic plan will be the overarching organizational and community agenda, the plan is informed and enlivened by the City’s Comprehensive Plan, Capital Improvement Plan, and Economic Development Plan. Comprehensive Plan: Establishes the vision for the City’s development future, including key elements such as the land use plan and Area of City Impact. Capital Improvement Plan: Identifies capital projects and equipment purchases, provides a planning schedule, and identifies options for financing the short- range plan (usually five to ten years). Economic Development Plan: Provides targets for attracting, retaining, and expanding businesses in Meridian. The graphic to the right reflects the inter-relationship of the various plans. The other major aspect of the City that must be reconciled to the strategic plan is the City’s Strategic Focus Areas Focus Area Description Strategic Growth Good growth fuels a city. Meridian will promote growth that enhances its vision and is family-focused, properly planned, financially viable, and diverse. Economic Vibrancy Jobs make a City vibrant. Meridian will recruit family-wage jobs and promote the growth of existing organizations in employment zones that put work and life together. Responsive Government The successful government of the 21st century is service driven, approachable, and responsive. Meridian will embody those qualities by improving efficiency, enhancing transparency, utilizing technology, and investing in our employees. Safe, Healthy, and Secure For a community to prosper, it must be safe, secure, and healthy. Meridian will invest in activities and services that enhance public safety and community health to build a stronger community and promote the quality of life that its citizens and employees expect. Arts, Culture & Recreation A premier community embraces cultural diversity and promotes an abundant offering of arts, entertainment, and recreational opportunities. Meridian will invest in services, facilities, programs, and partnerships to establish itself as an active and vibrant community that fulfills the diverse cultural and recreational needs of its people. Department Plans Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvement Plan Economic Development Plan Strategic Plan City of Meridian Amended: March 21, 2017 Strategic Plan Page 9 of 16 budgetary plan. The City’s budget must reflect the strategy. The interchange between the above plans and the new strategic plan is intended to be complementary. In addition to the aforementioned plans and the City Strategic Plan, each Department will need to develop a Department Plan that correlates to the Goals and Objectives of the Citywide Strategic Plan at a tactical/operational level. Since this is the first strategic plan for the City of Meridian, the connection to the City’s budget will be done via existing and future Department Plans. This means that, as each Department refreshes its plan, the focus areas and goals established within this strategic plan will be evident in the Department’s budget. Execution: Strategic Plan Management and Accountability A plan poorly implemented is like having no plan at all. As part of the City’s strategic planning process, the Strategic Planning Team identified and invited several key staff members from each of their Departments to participate in a Change Management workshop. The purpose behind the workshop was to prepare and train key staff on managing change - in this case, providing staff the perspectives and tools to help implement the Strategic Plan. The responsibility for the development and execution of the City’s Strategic Plan is vested with the Mayor. Since the Strategic Plan represents the core agenda of the organization, it is incumbent upon the Mayor to oversee its development and shepherd its execution. Now that the Plan has been developed, the administration of the Plan and the accountability for its execution are paramount. To guide those two aspects (administration and execution), the following set of responsibilities has been developed: Frequency Activity Responsible Party Reporting Audience Bi-annually Review strategic goal measurements and execution progress Mayor City Leadership Team Bi-Annually Execution progress report Mayor City Council City of Meridian Amended: March 21, 2017 Strategic Plan Page 10 of 16 This Plan is intended to transcend changes in the political environment. Organizational constancy is critical in maintaining momentum and achieving the desired results. However, it is important to recognize that major changes in elected leadership, City Council composition or modification to Council policies, strategies, plans, budget initiatives, etc., may impact the content, implementation, and successful attainment of this Strategic Plan. While this Plan itself serves as a guide that describes the strategic and tactical activities of the City of Meridian, the measure of success for the City in its strategic pursuits will be marked by the goal achievement contained in the Plan. Just as important will be the extent to which the City reviews and updates its strategic plan based on changing conditions and circumstances. In the end, strategic planning is a process, not an event, and it is that process that will define and ensure a competitive and purposeful organization. Annually Review and refine the strategic plan Mayor City Council and the City Leadership Team Annually Review and refine Department plans Department Directors Departments and Mayor City of Meridian Amended: March 21, 2017 Strategic Plan Page 11 of 16 Next Steps: Operationalizing the Plan Tactical Plan Development The first phase of the City’s approach to developing its strategic plan involved conducting an environmental scan, aligning its mission, vision, and values statements, organizing its resource inputs, developing strategic focus areas, and identifying key goals and objectives to align and advance the City’s resources toward the pursuit of its vision. What must follow is the development of Department-level tactical plans which align and support the City’s Strategic Plan. These tactical plans will need to define the activities, resources, timeframes, and costs required to advance the identified objectives in the City’s Strategic Plan. Performance measures and routine performance audits will ensure that each Department is appropriately engaged and aligned in advancing the City’s vision.
