4. Announcements
a. Upcoming Events - Shelly Houston
MPR Marketing Coordinator Shelly Houston announced the following:
• Mayor's State of the City Address Et Taste of Meridian Reception - This event
wilt be held on February b, 2019 at the Wahooz Galaxy Event Center. The
Mayor's speech portion is free to the public. However, to attend the dinner, it
requires a ticket to be purchased, which costs $10. Tickets are available
through the Mayor's office.
• Former Ma or Robert Corrie - Bob Corrie recently passed away. A very lovely
funeral was held at the Methodist Church on Friday, January 4, 2019. Just
yesterday (January 8, 2019), Conference Rooms A and B of Meridian City Hall
were dedicated in his honor. These rooms are now called the "Robert D. Corrie
Community Conference Room."
• AARP Tax Aide - Meridian City Hall will not be one of the selected sites this
year for seniors to receive free tax preparation assistance. The vacant
room/space in prior years is now occupied with building inspector offices, and
there is really no place in the building to accommodate a steady flow for
several days a week for seniors coming for tax help. However, there are still
alternate locations in the Treasure Valley.
• Parks Et Recreation Magazine - On the back cover of the December 2018 issue of
the Parks Ft Recreation official publication of the National Recreation Et Parks
Association, a full-color photo of one of the picnic shelters at Hillsdale Park is
featured. This is a paid advertisement by the company the Department
purchased the shelter from.
• Coffee with the Mayor - The next event is scheduled for March 5, 2019.
5. New Business
a. Jo Greer Recognition - Steve Siddoway
MPR Director Steve Siddoway recognized Jo Greer as the Commission's President
for 2018 and Vice President in 2017. She also volunteers for Christmas in Meridian
and serves on the art selection panel. As outgoing President, Steve presented her
with a Certificate of Appreciation and award plaque. Shelly Houston snapped a
photo. Everyone applauded her for her outstanding efforts and valuable
contributions in serving as past President.
b. Park Identity Art Proposals: Champion Et Renaissance Parks - Action Item -
Hillary Blackstone
Commission Et Committees Coordinator Hillary Blackstone reported a meeting was
held earlier that day with the parks identity panel. She walked through their
decisions with the MPR Commission.
Renaissance Park - The art sculpture is called "Illuminations" by Ken McCall. A
mock-up was on display that evening. Illuminations celebrates the significant
musical, scientific, literary, and artistic contributions made during the
Renaissance. Each portal portrays an iconic symbol which signifies the impact
of each medium during this transitional period in European history; the largest
portal displaying the Vitruvian Man representing math and science, the medium
with the Creation of Adam portraying the fine arts, and the smallest with the
quill pen and the Stradivarius violin signifying literature and music. The

structures of the portals were influenced by Renaissance era architecture, with
primary colored panels blending together to make multiple colors that will cast
beautiful mosaics on the ground. The position of Illuminations will be
engineered to radiate a marker on the ground representing Spring Solstice, the
beginning of spring, or revival - a corresponding concept of the Renaissance, as
it means rebirth.
o Materials include powder -coated steel and acrylic
o The freestanding sculpture is on a concrete pad
o The tallest of the portals is 20 feet tall
o The medium portal is 15 feet tall
o The smallest portal is 11 feet tall
Champion Park - The art sculpture is called "The Champion's Flame" by
Trademark. A mock-up was on display that evening. The Champion's Flame is a
sculptural representation of the competitive spirit. For every Olympiad, the
Olympic torch begins its journey in Olympia, Greece, and burns steadily while
it travels across the world to the location of the games, calling the world
together for the competition. The Olympic Flame is lit during the opening
ceremony, and burns throughout the games until their close, symbolizing
purity, a striving for perfection, and life itself.
The Champion's Flame would consist of several parts: a tiered concrete base, a
metal bowl meant to house the flame, a javelin that would stand vertically
from the center, and twisting metal flames. The flames would be painted a
shiny metallic gold on one side, and a brilliant red on the other, catching the
eye, and playing with perspective and light.
There are several opportunities for messages or quotes from past champions to
be integrated into the sculpture, either around the second tier of the concrete
base, or plasma cut into the bowl shape at the sculpture's base.
Lastly, durable outdoor lights would be integrated into the sculpture, shining
upwards, creating a beautiful and dynamic flame sculpture at night.

The proposal does not outline the height of the art piece, although the
presenter did say it would be between 15-20 feet tall; Hillary will verify.
Hillary will ask the proposer if they would also consider making the sculpture
interactive, being able to turn or spin. There was also a comment to see about
making the piece lit.
Signage would be included to update the current park signage going into the
park to match the branding of the sculpture, as depicted below in the digital
rendering.
Commission President Jessica West entertained a motion to approve and
recommend to City Council the proposed art pieces as presented. Commissioner
Creg Steele moved to approve and send forward to City Council both of the
recommendations for art in Champion and Renaissance Parks. Commission Vice
President Dom Gelsomino seconded. All were in favor of the motion.

Meridian Library District's Programs Manager Megan Egbert explained for a few
years now, they have been in conversations with MPR staff about an idea they feel
passionately about at the library which would fit really well in Meridian. Blue Cross
of Idaho's Employee Fund opened up for grants submission. One of their areas of
emphasis is for senior citizens in trying to get them more physically active. The
library cares deeply for senior citizens. She proposed having a memory lane picture
book from the past; something seniors could share with their grandchildren; or
something that would spark memories for them that would be valuable. These
picture books encourage physical movement and literacy, as well as a joy for
reading. The location would be around the walking path surrounding the Meridian
Senior Center by the pond in Kleiner Park and in the general vicinity of the
Memorial Tree Plaza and Rock of Honor Memorial Plaza. The signs would be
permanent, but the stories would be interchangeable. The signs would be at a
height so they could be viewed from a wheelchair or scooter. In addition, the signs
would not be spread out too far to accommodate those patrons with limited
mobility.
There was general consensus that the Commissioners were in favor of this
proposal. As a result, Megan will submit a grant application to the Blue Cross
Employee Fund and see if they are the right investor for this project. The
application is due on Friday, January 11, 2019.
d. MPR Department Classes Et Camps Update - Jake Garro
MPR Recreation Coordinator Jake Garro provided an update about the MPR
Department's classes and camps. Copies of his PowerPoint presentation slides are
attached to these meeting minutes.
e. Alcohol Permits Discussion - Colin Moss
MPR Recreation Manager Colin Moss was before the Commission with a proposed
ordinance change to remove the process of obtaining a separate alcohol permit in
order to have alcohol at a picnic shelter reservation. All on-site guidelines with
regard to alcohol possession and consumption would remain the same. This
proposed change simply removes a process and fee that is viewed as unnecessary.
Commission President Jessica West entertained a motion to recommend the
proposed ordinance change with regard to alcohol permits to City Council.
Commissioner Jo Greer moved to approve and recommend the ordinance change
for alcohol permits to City Council as presented. Commissioner John Nesmith
seconded. All were in favor of the motion.
6. Old Business
a. Pathways Priority Task List Resolution - Action Item - Kim Warren
MPR Pathways Project Manager Kim Warren reviewed the Commission's pathway
priority goals for 2019 in the form of a PowerPoint. Copies of her slides are
attached to these meeting minutes. These priorities will be formatted into a
resolution for the Commission President's approval and signature.
Commission President Jessica West entertained a motion to approve the content
of the MPR Commission's 2019 Pathways Priority Task List Resolution.
Commissioner Creg Steele moved to adopt 2019 Pathways Priority Task List

content. Commissioner Michelle Jensen seconded. All were in favor of the
motion.
7. Workshop -NONE
8. Staff Reports
MPR Director Steve Siddoway reported on the following:
• Pathways Map - MPR staff is still in the process of taking all the details the
Commissioners provided last month and turning those into proposed changes to the
Meridian Pathways Master Plan Map, as well as integrating with work on the
walkability map as part of the Comprehensive Plan. Staff is trying to complete all
these simultaneously.
• Shade Structure at Kleiner Park Bandshell - This is a great project and very much
underway. Council approved the construction contract on January 8, 2019.
• Art Proposals - He is really excited about the art pieces for Champion and
Renaissance Parks.
• Farmers Market - There is a proposed extension this year of the Main Street Market
out in front of City Hall.
• Homecourt Bay 5 Project - This project is underway. Staff members are working
out the contracts and striving hard to meet the summer construction target. They
are following the concept which was approved and presented by the Commission
last year. As they get further into the design and closer to construction, MPR staff
will be back with an update to the Commission.
• Homecourt Water Damage - MPR staff recently settled with the insurance company
on the water damage issue at the Homecourt. The insurance check was received,
and staff will compose a budget amendment to take to City Council to add those
funds to the project and get the repairs taken care of.
• Discovery Park - He is excited the construction contracts were approved to add the
maintenance shop to the project. Crews are moving hard and fast out there in
trying to get ready for a summer opening later this year.
MPR Parks Superintendent Mike Barton reported on the following:
• Kleiner Park Bandshell Shade - MPR staff is confirming the attachment points of
the shade fabric in order to get the right height in relationship to the hill. There
are a lot different factors that play into this because there are two overlapping
pieces of fabric, and there needs to be separation between the two so they do not
hit in the wind. Staff also needs to determine what would be most effective as far
as blocking the sun and still allowing views. So staff is trying to get the front edge
of the sail at the right height. Then the supplier will provide them with a shop
drawing which shows the exact replica, including color, height, model, etc. The
goal is to start digging for the posts in a couple of weeks, approximately the first
week in February.
• ADA Repairs - Approximately 1 'h years ago, it was discovered the MPR Department
needed to bring some of its park amenities into ADA compliance, which dealt with
sidewalks, ramps, etc. This also included the Community Center. Over 280 items
were identified in a report. MPR staff members were given a year to do the report
and then two years to make the corrections. They have completed the report and
corrections in a 1 '/z years. On Friday, January 11, 2019, staff will go around and

have the entire list certified as complete. They are way ahead of schedule. Right
now the budget is looking good. The same architect that did the report for all the
parks has been given the go-ahead to audit Fuller Park as a separate project.
There is some budget money to begin working on Fuller.
MPR Recreation Manager Colin Moss reported on the following:
• Park Shelter Reservations - We will begin taking shelter reservations on February 1,
2019. This will be the first day the Department will take reservations for Fuller
Park.
• Concert Series - They have been doing a lot of work on this event. Staff had
meetings with the Arts Commission and the Mayor's office regarding Concerts on
Broadway and potentially combining those. Concerts on Broadway will be moved to
the fall starting this year and will continue to be held on Saturdays but will start
earlier in the day. In conjunction with this, the Department is working on an "Alive
After Five" style concert series where it would be an after -work, weekday concert
series held in June and July out front of City Hall --starting around 5:00 or 5:30
p.m. Staff is working through many logistics and brainstorming names.
• Farmers Market - The Main Street Market will expand in dates from April to
October 2019, overlapping with the Concerts on Broadway dates. The footprint will
include all of Broadway—from Meridian Road to Main Street—as well as the front
City Hall parking lot.

2. James Court - All easement offers are out to three remaining owners as of
early December. Staff will follow up with the owners and push to finalize
these easement purchase agreements as soon as possible.
3. Five Mile Creek Trailhead at Ten Mile Road -Staff met with Dave Rader/ACRD
Project Manager to review final details of the ACHD cost share agreement.
Once finalized, the cost share agreement will be presented for Council
approval.
4. Segment D - Five Mile Creek Pathway - Additional coordination with Public
Works occurred to determine final alignment for pathway. Staff has explored
funding options for this pathway segment and will meet with COMPASS
representatives to share the latest plan for moving forward with
implementation.
5. Lemp/Larkwood Pathway - Completion date for the fence installation contract
was extended until mid-May to allow for fence installation after paving of the
pathway. The bid process for the pathway paving component will be initiated
this month and to occur as soon as weather permits in the spring.
6. Five Mile Creek Pathway Connection, Fairview Avenue - A consultant has
been hired to conduct a site survey along this stretch of pathway and complete
a 'fit plan' to present to ACHD for coordination and preliminary approval
purposes. It appears the current ROW configuration of Fairview Avenue (South
Side at Lakes Place) may allow for pathway improvements in this area without
the need to purchase easements from adjacent property owners. As soon as we
can clearly define ROW for this project, staff will put together an estimate of
construction cost and request a budget amendment.
7. Pine Avenue Rest Stop - Base information has been compiled for this area (on
the south side of Pine where the Five Mile Creek Pathway crosses the recently
updated roadway). Staff will meet to discuss configuration of the rest stop
amenities for the purpose of finalizing an in-house drawing in order to solicit
bids for construction in 2019.
8. Mapping - After a successful, interactive Pathways Workshop in December,
staff has been working to summarize changes to the GIS map layer and
incorporate them into a final map version to present for adoption by Council.
9. Ongoing Coordination and Review - Staff continues to attend meetings for
new projects proposed for development, review plans for active projects, and

issue conditions of approval. Additional coordination with developers regarding
the formal easement dedication process per above conditions. l continue to
attend bi-weekly Streetscape and Community Character meetings, and monthly
FACTS meetings at COMPASS.
City Arborist's Report:
ELROY HUFF
1. Water Play Log for Discovery Park - We looked around and found a big log cut
from a local tree removal company and are going to use it as a water play log
in the new Discovery Park. The log is from a Silver Maple tree which was about
60 years old and will be in the playground. The log will have a water source
that will run down the top and off the end, when the handle is activated, and
will be handicap accessible. I will update you all next month on how it looks.
2. Tree City USA Application 2018 - The application has been submitted. In 2018,
between new park development, tree planting projects, and initial tree care,
the City spent approximately $5,132,000.
3. City Christmas tree at Generations Plaza - The tree will be removed around
January 10, 2019. 1 am still searching for a Christmas tree for next year's
festivities.
4. Fuller Park - This newly -acquired park has roughly 215 trees. In looking at
them, we decided to remove ten trees. Most were from the old Black Locust
section located in the northeast corner. This is a great place with the existing
Black Locust in a park. There have not been these types of trees in our park
system until now. Some of the Locust trees had structural problems that could
not be repaired, or we felt could not be determined safe to be under while
walking along the pathway or under the trees. There is another Locust tree
that needs trimming to make it safer when walking around that area. They will
look better and be healthier. We would like to plant a few of the newer
cultivars of Black Locust back in that area. We also trimmed up some of the
Willow trees and removed a few Pines and one Maple.

Parks & Recreation Department Staff Reports - January 9, 2019 Page 3 of 6
Persons desiring accommodation for disabilities related to documents and/or hearings:
Please contact the City Clerk's Office at 888-4433 at least 48 hours prior to the meeting.
1. Internal Process Improvements - We have been working on a few items to
better define and improve our internal processes, including alcohol permits,
shelter reservations, and our cancellation/ rain check policy.
2. Concessions RFPs - Requests For Proposals will be prepared in January for
concessions opportunities at Settlers, Storey, Tully and Bear Creek.
3. Meridian Main Street Market - We have purchased all the signage needed for
the Market's traffic control plan, and the parks crew is working this winter on
remodeling the inside of the trailer so that all the tables, canopies, canopy
weights, and traffic control signs will be nice and organized. We are one step
closer toward the Market being self-sufficient.
4. Downtown Concert Series - We are in the early stages of putting together a
new concert series for downtown Meridian this summer. Lots of details are
unknown at this time, but it will be a weekly series, likely on Thursday
evenings.
5. New Volunteer Ambassador Vehicle - The new Park Ambassador vehicle is
here and was just put into service last week. The ambassadors are excited to
have their new ride!
6. 2019 Park Reservations - We continue to book special events for 2019, plus we
have finished with the 2019 field reservation application process. So fields are
now available for reservation on our website. Regular reservations for picnic
shelters will open February V.
Homecourt Facility Manager's Report:
GARRETT WHITE
1. Scheduling -The primary users are still Hoop Dreams, Elite Sports, Ignite
Sports, Pickleball, Noonball, and our adult Volleyball and Basketball leagues.
In December, we hosted the Crash The Boards Basketball Tournament and the
Bryon Dunn Basketball Tournament. This month the City will be running an
Ultimate Frisbee Tournament.
2. Staffing - I am still in the process of hiring one more Homecourt Specialist.
3. Projects:
• Floor Repairs, Due to Moisture - We received the final report and itemized
list of repairs from Ron Egland. The process was a long one, but in the end,

we will repair the floor this spring/summer along with the Homecourt Bay 5
Renovation project.
• RFQs - All RFQ contracts will be going to Council in the next week or two.
The first one is for Design Development/Construction Documents, and the
other is for Construction Management Services.
• Volleyball Standards Installation in Bay 5 - With help from the Parks crew,
we now have the ability to play Volleyball in Bay 5 making it dual use. Phil
Harris came and put the finishing touches on the court by adding the ground
sleeve covers. We are hosting Volleyball in Bay 5 three days a week.
4. Invoicing - With help from Jeannette Sanchez, I have been invoicing all those
with reservations. All invoices for January have been sent out, and February is
getting ready to be sent out in the next few weeks. We have had no issues
collecting the reservation fees from any user group.
5. Day Pass/Monthly Memberships - We are staying busy this winter with the
daily drop -ins and the monthly memberships. Depending on the day, we have
80 to 100 users of the Homecourt during the open play or non-scheduled times.
The heavy use times are between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m., Monday through
Friday. When school is out, we have more use, and all courts, including Bay 5,
are being used.
6. IRPA -We have sent out and emailed a letter to all past vendors with all the
information needed for the Idaho Recreation Et Park Association Conference.
We are hoping to get at least 20 vendors registered for the conference this
year.
Recreation Coordinators' Report:
RENEE WHITE Et TYLER ROBERDS
1. Special Events 2019 - We are in the planning stages for 2019 special events!
That includes an updated website, sponsorship packet, and event
improvements for Unplug Et Be Outside, CableONE Movie Nights in Meridian,
Gene Kleiner Day, Independence Day, Community Block Party, and Christmas in
Meridian.
2. CableONE Movie Night in Meridian - The event schedule will continue to be
Friday evenings June through August in Settlers Park. Movies are currently
being selected, and sponsors are being recruited.

Persons desiring accommodation for disabilities related to documents and/or hearings:
Please contact the City Clerk's Office at 888-4433 at least 48 hours prior to the meeting.
3. Unplug ft Be Outside - We are currently recruiting participants for our Unplug
Ft Be Outside event. This event features a week full of free activities which
encourage youth and families to be physically active and try new activities.
4. Fall Volleyball and Fall Basketball - Fall Volleyball and Fall Basketball finished
with relative success. Volleyball crowned a total of 15 champions, and
Basketball followed that up with 4 more. Basketball officiating was a problem,
but this will be addressed in the next session.
5. Winter Basketball and Volleyball - Winter Sports had a good number of
registrations. Volleyball had the same amount of teams register as last year.
Basketball was the same as last year, but Tyler had to turn away 5 teams. This
was not because of space; this was because of a low amount of officials. Tyler
is currently hiring his own group of officials to help alleviate this issue in the
future. Tyler currently has three officials ready to start with multiple more
applications to review. The goal will be to get about six officials hired on.
6. Spring Sports - The next steps will be to get ready for spring sports including
Basketball, Volleyball, Softball and the Summer Fun Kickoff. There will also be
a survey administered to all the softball players. Tyler will use this information
to change the process moving forward.
