State of City and I'm sorry we missed you, David. Councilman Zaremba. We had a
very good turnout.
Zaremba: I'm sorry, I was out of town. I know I missed something good.
De Weerd: So, a lot of this is a review of what you heard at the State of City so, if it
Meridian City Council Special Meeting
February 19, 2013

seems redundant, it is. Go ahead. Oh. ®o you want me to do this? Okay. As you
know, we have received several recognitions and over the weekend I heard of another
recognition - we heard -- or earned from Forbes Magazine for one of the friendliest
communities, the top 25 in the nation and so we can add that designation to our awards.
As I had mentioned in the State of the City address, these awards are meaningful. It
looks at certain data points, but they also go out and they interview residents in the
community and the fact that our residents are relaying how much they love their city, I
think it is what we should strive for. It's not necessarily the recognitions like these --
although they are good and they are nice to receive -- but it is the fact that it's reinforced
by the citizens that we serve, which is more meaningful. We continue to -- the focus
areas that we learned during our last year going door to door, during our town halls,
during our Coffee with the Mayor, and we set these as five strategic priorities and so we
kind of gave a progress report in each of those areas. The first area under safe
community. Certainly I highlighted several programs that we have a number of efforts
across the city in providing that safe community and it kind of all -- all the hands on
decks with our department -- our police department, parks, fire, public works have all
added to our sense of being a safe community, from the response times that we did
highlight one of the things that we are looking at doing this next year is with -- well, don't
just tell all the good news. One of the up ticks was in our response time in fire. It did
have a slight increase and it was the same percentage as the increase as our calls. So,
one of the things that we are doing is we will be kind of be doing a video following our
fire department as they look at the strategic aspects of looking at response times, all of
those things that influence that response time and so next year when we come back
and we do our report back to the community they will see a more comprehensive view
of how we look at things strategically and how we come up with our approach is to
addressing the response times in fire in particular. However, I get to report that we did
improve in all three of our classes in the police department and that was good news. A
lot that was due to the fact -- the fact that we were fully staffed and we are using the
crime analysis to -- to figure out where we want our personnel and so that they are
closer by. So, it's -- it was good news in that -- in that regard. I did highlight a number
of things, including our impact fee. It's just making a phenomenal difference in our
community in terms of -- of a lot of seized property and looking at holistically, not just a
census of crime, but drilling down into it so they are addressing the root of the crime.
To me one of the best outcomes, as well as an improved communication -- given those
areas where we do have crime pockets with the residents and with the businesses and
we are working directly with them and we are finding that they are the ones that are
tipping us off and we are working together as a community to be a safer community.
That's pretty rewarding stuff. The highlights also included that of our project SAFE in
our fire department, our sidewalk and streetlight improvements that have been done
across the city, and as well as even the video cameras that have been installed out at
Settlers Park. One thing before I move onto that -- and it's a special shout out to
Sergeant Gonzales and a team of folks. I always see Sergeant Gonzales, but there is a
whole team that is dedicated to providing Alive At 25 classes. We are leading in the
state in the provider of these classes and we have seen more than 800 youth go
through this class -- these classes to be safer and defensive drivers. So, we get good
feedback on those classes and I think that it is making a difference as well. The next
Meridian City Council Special Meeting

series, responsive government, you have seen some of the citizen committee results of
their recommendations with the kiosk. We have heard positive comments and it is nice
when you walk into City Hall having a person greet you. So, our citizen volunteers have
been a welcome improvement and an add addition to our lobby and so that has been
very favorable, but also in terms of our enhancements and our website and with our
communications manager. It is making a difference and we see that and we get
feedback from our department in terms of the value that Natalie in particular has added
in dealing with different circumstances that come up from lead content, to how we
communicate with the media. So, that's been a positive outcome. E -cite was certainly
one of those projects that I highlighted under responsive government. Certainly that is
an exciting project. They recently met with the Idaho Transportation Department who is
also looking at utilizing the e -citation software and so kudos to our IT department and
our police department, they are working so well together in finding efficient tools to
make our officers safer, be more efficient with the time, and as I noted in my State of the
City comments, the people that we pull over it gets them out of there sooner, rather than
later, and that's probably why they were speeding to begin with, they were trying to get
somewhere quickly. One of the areas I didn't highlight was the instant tracking system.
It is in its -- it's now completed two years and this last year we have been working with
Boise and Ada County. It's been fully deployed in those two agencies and now their IT
staff are working with ours to complete forms that can be utilized within this, so it is
totally paperless. It is going from the officer to the prosecutor and it has been well
received, it is truly an asset and it's another thing that -- that was originated in our
community by our staff and so we have a lot to be proud of. One of the other things I
think that is noteworthy is the BEST employee training that we have been employing. I
talked about the Meridian Way and one of the recommendations from the citizens
committee was to highlight and make sure that we do training in customer service and
as our city attorney reported last month, they rolled out an employee training program
called BEST and it does focus on our customer service and a number of other things,
but we are seeing improved customer service. We were at the police ceremony the
other night last week and talked about even some of the differences I'm seeing in the
relation or the communication I get from the citizens, from our police incidents. Quite
similar to the utility billing, which I highlighted in the State of the City. We have seen a
switch from a negative comment to now more positive comment, but we are also seeing
that in the police department and probably more importantly it's the timely response our
police department are getting once that we do get a concern or a complaint that that is
addressed within a 24-hour period and people are getting the answers that they --
maybe not want to hear, but they are being responded to rapidly. So, we are seeing
systematic improvements in our customer service across the city. Places to go. I don't
need to spend a whole lot of time on this, other than we are developing with our
business community. Over 75 businesses opened their doors last year that we were
involved in and probably more than that that we don't know about, so we had plenty of
ribbon cuttings, but we are also seeing some great energy not only in the Eagle corridor,
but in our downtown, and it was really nice and it was certainly a privilege to highlight
some of the energy that is going on in our downtown in places to go. Certainly our
commissions, our arts commission is adding to it. Our parks department and the events
that they put on. Everyone is stepping up and being part of the energy that's building in
Meridian City Council Special Meeting
February 19, 2013
Page 4 of 10
our downtown. Certainly the video that we showed on the Village at Meridian created a
lot of interest and excitement of what we will be highlighted in the -- in this year and we
will be highlighting at the next State of the City. So, that was a stay tuned, we are -- we
are coming with even more energy yet to come with the opening of that. In jobs, we
were very pleased to see that we had job growth in many of the higher paying job areas
and most importantly the six percent growth that we had in manufacturing. We are
making a concerted effort with Brenda and the economic development program and
myself and now CJ is going out on some business visits and we are finally getting the
chamber re-engaged in doing business visits as well. So, we have been very focused
on the manufacturers and have learned quite a bit. We have some -- we have some
real rare finds in our manufacturing industry and some great businesses out there. So,
it's great learning more about who those businesses are in our community. Certainly
the energy that the CORE is having with the creation of the Treasure Valley Angel Fund
with moving forward with their keystone project and the interest that's been created
among the medical -technical type of industries is -- is nice to see and it sounds like the
A&P lab that they are advocating for at Idaho State University will have the legislative
commitment for funding. Now, they need to finish raising the private side of it. Two
million dollars was to come from the legislature and two million raised by the private
sector. In transportation it was just pleasing as all get out to stand in front of people to
talk about not calling their legislators, but now that we are in design with the Meridian
Road interchange to be involved in that design and I didn't have to tell anyone that
drives the roads of Meridian that the split corridor phase two project was underway,
because certainly that's even more noticeable and will continue to get more noticeable
as we close down the intersection at Meridian and Cherry and Main and Cherry. So,
those are the five focus areas. I will turn this over to Robert and he will talk to you about
more the internal workings.
Simison: Thank you, Madam Mayor and Members of the Council. And I will try to be
brief going through these next little portions, but -- sorry. Already going the wrong way.
I first just wanted to focus briefly on its -- you know the new people that we have had in
our office, but I just wanted to put it up there. Ken and Natalie have came on in this last
year and as the Mayor alluded to the work that Natalie is already doing, I think she's
making a yeomen's work and I'd like to also just -- you're going to hear from Ken after
me, so I'm not going to go into what all he's doing, but the external work that he's doing
with a lot of our partners it's really quite impressive. We hear the outreach that he's
doing with the HOAs and that work. So, it's been great and the Mayor also alluded to it
just briefly about CJ. CJ is a three-quarter time position and because of schooling he's
been limited at 30 hours a week. He's been able to expand his hours up to the max
that's allowed under the position and we are using that to focus his efforts more on
economic development and some of the outreach into our downtown area. So, we look
forward to seeing his efforts in that and we are just getting underway and we will,
hopefully, have some good news to report back what he does. Just to give you a
reminder about the ways that we are communicating with the community, but I think the
main thing is since Natalie's been a board now for a few months she is going to be
focusing on putting together a city-wide communications plan. We look forward to her
completing that here in the next month or so and probably bringing an update back to
Meridian City Council Special Meeting
February 19, 2013
Page 5 of 10
you all to hear about what she sees in how we are doing, kind of an evaluation report,
as well as what areas that we need to be improving or focusing more of our attention
and our resources. Just very quickly so you are aware, our home page continues to
attract about the same amount of traffic as it did over the last year on average. Things
like our City Council videos, we started having an average of about five people a week
view real time, five people go back and view afterwards, so about the same in that. Our
social media, both Twitter and Facebook, have grown 50 percent over the last year in
followers. So, we are still seeing a lot of new ways that people are communicating and
growing to get their information from the city. In customer services in reaching out to
the different groups, we did have a lot of contact this last year where we had
presentations to over 25 HOAs, either in their meetings they are holding here in City
Hall in the rooms or where ever they choose to hold them and the Mayor was out talking
to a lot of different groups, a lot of businesses, a lot of some business, youth, faith,
education, the community, ranging from leadership Meridian, Girl's State, new churches,
college graduations, which I think they found the new favorite commencement speaker
on that aspect. We are involved in Kiwanis, dealing with the faith community, and we
have been tracking our communication with the community and this last year we had
364 public e-mails, correspondence, phone calls, visits, customer comment cards with
the city either telling us the good job or asking for more information about stuff. So, it
was quite a bit. These are just a few of the items that we continue to do on a regular
basis from our office with events. You, obviously, have seen what -- a couple of the
town halls we have done recently with -- up at Wahooz with the prescription drugs and,
then, also the legislative town hall we did here about a month ago and those continue to
do well. The State of the City we had just about 700 people show up for that event,
which we are quite impressed with and we continued our Meridian Neighbor Night,
which we started the year before. We did that again this year and we will continue to do
that in the future. Our programming that we are doing remains stable. MYAC is getting
good participation and Ken will probably touch on that. As is the Mayor's Kids Book
Club seems to move forward. My son is attending his third and final year in it and was
at the last one last month and it's really a favorite of many people in the community.
Just as a reminder, while the things that we are involved in in our office with the
legislative efforts, ribbon cuttings, helping find people for boards and commissions,
doing proclamations, one of which we will hear in a few minutes, we did 24 of them last
year, and, then, some of the general things that we do in the office just to keep things
moving forward. I just want to touch on a few of these projects and I won't go into too
much detail, because you are familiar with them, but the Meridian Interchange Task
Force is one that we are going to continue to be pushing out to the community when the
time is right to get their comments about what ITD wants to hear about from the
community, because that's one of the things that we will definitely be focusing on and
we continue to let ITD know what the concerns are from the community that we are
hearing, the business concerns, the chamber and others have been raising, but we
want to keep the projects moving forward as best as we can help them do, realizing it's
their project, but it's an entrance to our community. One of the things we are also going
to be rolling out here in March is doing cash mobbing, which is a concept of helping
drive people to businesses and we are coming up with an idea about doing one a month
in downtown to try to help the businesses being impacted by the split corridor design
Meridian City Council Special Meeting
February 19, 2013
Page 6 of 10
and we will be looking at grouping those as best we can and maybe doing one for
people getting their hair cut, either salons or haircuts, one on the flower shops, one on
restaurants. We have got a plan, we are just trying to do what we can to coordinate
with the chamber and find a media partner to help us do that and that's one of the
projects that CJ is working on to help our downtown businesses as best we can. I'm
going to skip over this and let Ken talk about it during his time about the work that he is
doing with our homeowners association outreach and I'm going to end talking about
Meridian's Promise. I talked to you about this last year, about the desire to move them
into a 501(c)(3). We weren't successful during this last year in finding someone to do
that, but we are engaging Ken in this activity to try to find that and he thinks he's got
some good leads, so while we may not be able to separate their ties to the city this year,
we are going to continue to move forward with that over the next little bit and if we can
get them into a 501(c)(3) we will do that. And, then, finally, just as a last note, the work
that the Mayor has been doing on the AIC drug task force has been something that our
office has been intricately involved in. We have two resolutions -- or resolutions or joint
memorial which are being considered by the senate state affairs tomorrow morning at
8:00 a.m. This is the work of the Mayor leading a lot of the other cities in the drug task
force in this effort and it's been a great pleasure and honor to work on that project. So,
with that I will conclude and stand for any questions that you might have.
De Weerd: And I will tell you, Council, that Robert is minimizing his role in all of that, so
I'm sure you already know that. Any questions for Robert?
Bird: I have none.
Rountree: I have none.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you.
Simison: Thank you.
• •ffice: Community Liaison••.
De Weerd: Okay. Ken. Item No. 4, Community Liaison Update. And just in case
someone is trying to follow us in the agenda, we are on our special meeting agenda that
started at 6:30 and after Ken is done we will adjourn this and go right into our next one.
So, thank you for joining us here.
Corder: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. For the honor of time I will
be brief.
De Weerd: I thought it was your tooth pulling today.
Corder: Yes. So happens that I did have a wisdom tooth pulled. Very humbling.
De Weerd: Well, we hope you didn't lose all your wisdom.
Meridian City Council Special Meeting

Corder: Madam Mayor, I would have had to have had some in the first place. The
community liaison, the position I do hold within the city, the Mayor and I -- the Mayor
and I we often talked about this position being one of a connection maker, a dock
connector, and a conduit of information. In my line of work it's all about relationships.
There are many facets to my job. Today I will be focusing on these five key areas. The
Mayor's Youth Advisory Council, Meridian faith community, the homeowners
associations, et cetera. Community outreach. And also my role within the social media
endeavors of the city. First up is the Mayor's Youth Advisory Council. Bucking the
trends of the previous years, where the -- the population of the council decreases as the
year goes on, we have actually increased our numbers with five new members coming
on in the last month alone. Additionally, we have had three middle school families
inquire into the Council for their students involved next year, which is very encouraging.
As you -- as you know from members of the youth council who testify before you, we
have had numerous endeavors which have given us the opportunity to be highlighted on
KTVB for our upcoming Ignite Youth event. The Meridian press -- we are actually on
the cover of this week's edition. We have been -- we have been in Valley Times
numerous times. We have a two page spread in the Urban Liaison magazine, as well
as various external Facebook shares from other community groups and entities. I will
leave it up to the members of the council to give you updates, but we are looking
forward to this Friday's Ignite Youth event held at Mountain View High School. We are
also very excited to unveil the Red Out Dodge Ball Match to benefit the America Heart
Associate. We also have STAND, which is an acronym for the Supporting Teens
Against Nicotine Dependency. That event will be a partnership with the Mayor's Youth
Advisory Council, as well as the Mayor's Anti -Drug Coalition hosted at Big AI's. So, we
are very excited about that. Upcoming as well is the Treasure Valley Youth Summit.
This is a partnership of the area youth councils coming together. This year we are
intending to invite over 200 youth to this summit. The Mayor is also very excited, as
was myself. I did not have the opportunity to go to the prom the first time, so we will be
holding a prom for parents. Very exciting. As I mentioned before, the partnerships with
other teen councils is going strong. We do have upcoming planning meetings for the
Treasure Valley Youth Summit and we have already celebrated the Mad City Money
financial classroom endeavor for the youth and the goal is to create unity amongst the
councils for the betterment of our youth, our greatest asset. There are several
opportunities for myself, along with -- with Mayor Tammy to engage the faith
community. I will first off say that Meridian is a well churched area. When I do have the
opportunity to meet face-to-face or on the phone with the various faith leaders they
always have the one topic come up, which is where can we send our volunteers. Now,
that -- that question will be answered in March with the I Heart Treasure Valley event,
but for the most part for the remaining 11 months of the year it's a very big problem that
we have -- a good problem to have. Where do we send our volunteers. We are
working on that and what we are doing is we are making connections. For example,
Salvation Army had a need for some folks at their food bank and the Mayor and I had a
faith visit with Major John Stennett and we were able to send volunteers to fill those
needs. During the holiday time I did notice that there was a major communication
problem with the churches, oftentimes having community dinners in the same week or
Meridian City Council Special Meeting
February 19, 2013
Page 8 of 10
close in proximity or nativities in the same week and to remedy that we came up with
the Meridian Faith Leader Facebook Group. It's a forum for the faith leaders to just
come together, disseminate information, share prayer requests, and fellowship.
Currently we have 68 members strong, which is very strong for a Facebook group.
Treasure Meridian is also forming. It is an off -shoot of the greater Treasure The Valley.
Again, to remedy the communication issues, this is a Christian -based organization that's
coming together, but with a spin if you will. The Treasure Meridian off -shoot is going to
be business owners, not necessarily the pastoral staff. So, in our recent faith
ambassador council meeting the Mayor and I had the opportunity to challenge the faith
community. During summer, as we all know, we had to our ask our teen citizens to stay
away from the movie night due to behaviors that weren't inherent to the family living that
we all love. So, we have challenged the churches to come up with a plan for what these
teens can do in those off school nights and primarily opening of their gyms. Happy to
say that Ten Mile Christian Church has risen to the challenge and we are going to be
planning in early March for an endeavor. Addition connections made within the faith
community are Catch, which is a partnership with the Joint No. 2 School District and the
churches, with the main goal of maintaining homes for folks, making sure that all of the
-- the kids within our city limits and school district boundaries have a home, in essence.
To set them up for a bright future. Also Change. Change is a program through the
Central District Health and Welfare office and what they are attempting to do is initiate
healthy food drives within our city limits. I was able to find a partnership with an LDS
church to take on the challenge and so the planning has already begun f or this.
Additional partnerships in the Meridian faith community are the One Church One Child
program, which maintains churches and their role as being community havens for folks
in need. Also we are able to find a location for an institution entitled the Marriage Labs,
with a post in Meridian entitled the Boise Party Church. Although it's in our city limits, it
was a facility without a purpose and so I was able to match them with the party church.
As Robert mentioned previously, I am attempting from the new alternative routes to
engage the homeowners associations. I did attend their monthly meetings. In fact, I will
be attending one right after my address. But I also wanted to see the web presence of
the HOAs. To my dismay I only found 20. Whether that be on Facebook or a website,
which I decided to launch the Facebook group test and partnering with Lochsa Falls,
Silver Leaf and Woodbridge Subdivisions, utilizing the group function. Out of 134 units
in Silver Leaf there are 90 residents who utilize it, with 316 in Lochsa Falls and over a
hundred in Woodbridge. The purpose of this group is to give the folks a private forum to
share information and for me to act as a liaison and that conduit for the city. And ideally
with these Facebook groups the main topics that come up are construction concerns,
mainly the split corridor and new home construction, as well as school boundaries they
are within. I am happy to say that as I see these -- these questions come through with
this group I am able to remedy them right away and give them information, such as
alternative routes for the split corridor. It's been -- it's been received well. Child and
teen safety, Lochsa Falls as you all know, had a fatality of a young person last year, so
those concerns are starting to rear in their Facebook group page. Additionally, I have
also been able to share our city news, which is a monthly electronic newsletter, as well
as our events. Then will be fire and crime prevention safety event we had at Meridian
Speedway. There were several field moms and mothers of young children who
Meridian City Council Special Meeting
February 19, 2013
Page 9 of 10
attended who would not have known otherwise. This all leads to the -- the unveiling of
the Facebook group training program that we are going to be starting here. MGM
Property Management Group, which overseas over 40 of our HOAs, is going to be
convening all of those boards in this room for myself to do a training on the benefits of
the Facebook group. That will be in March. Community outreach. I had the pleasure of
taking a stroll down our main corridor here to visit all business affected -- businesses
affected by the split corridor with Jacy Jones from our clerk's office. The report I have
for you is they were, A, very happy to see a person, not a form letter or an e-mail. And,
B, they are actually doing okay right now. Now, as the road has additional changes we
are going to have some challenges coming up; especially with some of our businesses
over on this side of the building over here, mainly Napa Auto Parts and Bruneel Tire
Factory. We were also always able to engage these businesses to partner with us to --
to do the This Week In Meridian video short that are on the front page of our city
website. That -- that idea was from Natalie Podgorski and the business community has
embraced that. Additionally, community outreach was a success of our prescription
drug town hall and our Rocky Mountain town hall for the senior class. We are going to
focus on teen safety going into the hundred most deadly days for our teen summer. We
were able to collect all of the victims' parents of all the teens deaths over the last two
years and they will sit on a panel for the parents and youth in our area to -- to discuss
safety measures and resources and threats. Ribbon cuttings are -- have gone
extremely well. We do have a signature gesture in the Pay It Forward program. It was
-- it was very satisfactory -- satisfying to see the Boise Chamber of Commerce take
notice of our Pay It Forward program that we do here in Meridian. Additional community
programs that we have identified to strengthen the foundations of our families, which as
we know are the foundation of Meridian -- is the Step Ahead Idaho program. This is a
program that assists youth with the fast flow procedures, as well as college information.
Marriage labs for folks who might be on the cusp of divorce. It gives them an alternative
to work on that marriage. And excellent parenting classes. We have a gem in Sandy
McDaniel, who has these parenting resources. Ironically, I implemented some of them
over the weekend and my children giggled all day. So, as you can see I am utilizing the
Facebook group function, as well as the traditional uses of Facebook. But in order for
me to maintain these groups I had to have a new personal profile. I did not want to
have to use my personal and so we created a new personal profile, which is
kencommunityliaison hyphen Meridian. It's assigned to my position, so if I am ever
asked to leave I will be leaving it will go onto the new community liaison and it has
cultivated personalized relationships, as well as allows me to maintain these groups.
MYAC's Facebook page has grown over one hundred percent since I started. We went
from 80 to 213 likes. We have done this by asking folks to like our page. This
increases our visibility, as well as the ability to find partnerships for our endeavors,
sponsors for our Facebook events upcoming and also to promote it for folks who would
not have known of MYAC in the first place. Madam Mayor --
De Weerd: Ken, I'm glad -- I'm glad you kept it short.
Corder: Sorry. I will now stand for questions, concerns, or comments.
