Mr. Lavoie to give us the Finance Department quarterly financial update.
Lavoie: Good afternoon. Thank you, Mayor. Good to see all the Council Members. It's
been a while, so, hopefully, everyone is doing well. Again, appreciate the opportunity to
present to you the quarterly updates for November 2020 regarding really property taxes.
I presented this -- or I provided this presentation to you a couple of weeks ago. It's 31
Page 5
Meridian City Council Work Session
Item#1. November 24,2020
Page 3 of 16
pages of presentation with information that we plan on going over tonight and I know
wanted to really really work with you guys today and allow you guys to ask questions
about property taxes. This is an opportunity to kind of do a one on one on how property
taxes work. I want you guys to be able to dialogue with each other, ask questions
anytime. Please do not hesitate to interrupt me. There will be a few slides that I go
through pretty quick, because it's more informational purposes and I have provided that
information to you. But, again, at any moment in time, please, do not hesitate to
interrupt me on a slide, interrupt each other. Let's have dialogue. I want you guys to
feel comfortable with how property taxes are managed here at the City of Meridian. So,
with that our agenda today is going to cover again property tax 101 , a little bit of
information on levy rate history. Going to talk to you about a concept called property tax
burden. We will show you some information about some comparisons of property taxes
amongst homes and, then, among cities as well and, then, I will give you an update on
what we will provide in our next quarterly update and, then, save last for questions, but,
please, this is an interactive presentation, questions throughout the whole thing would
be awesome. I want you guys to really ask questions amongst each other, amongst
me. If I can answer them I will do my best. If I can't I will get back to you in a timely
matter. But, please, do not hesitate to interrupt and be interactive on this presentation.
So, with that property tax 101 . Again, this is the same presentation I gave you guys in a
PDF form. So, there is nothing new that I will be presenting to you, but we will go over
and touch bases on some of these. This slide here is an informational purposes slide.
The most important thing here is that the state kind of governs what we do and Ada
county kind of governs what we do. The state allows us to have the opportunity to
increase our property taxes by three percent for the title and, then, Ada county informs
us what our assessed value is and Ada county informs us what our new construction
value is. So, again, the top line is our lever. The city has one lever to pull and that's the
three percent arm. The second item on the screen that is all controlled and managed
by Ada county, we have zero input or decision authority on that second box. So, again,
just wanted to let you know that we do follow the state code and the state code is
dictating how things are managed here at the City of Meridian. Property tax 101 . The
calculation. So, how do we determine our levy rate and property taxes? We look at
property taxes here at the city combining four components. The first component is what
we call our base property taxes. This is following state code. This is determined by
looking at our past three fiscal years and being able to capture the highest value of
property taxes collected over those past three years and we can consider that our base
tax for the upcoming year. So, for fiscal '21 1 looked at fiscal '20, fiscal '19 and fiscal '18
and said which of the three years had the highest property tax collections. I captured
that value and I made that your base entry for fiscal '21. So, that's how we start there.
As a reminder at the City of Meridian we manage the properties -- property taxes to
align with what we call our current level of service. So, we -- previously in the fiscal
year determined what we wanted to provide our citizens through the budget process
and we approved that to the citizens. That became our base budgets for -- for providing
services for our customers and our citizens. If all the data is static and we lived in a
perfect world where we had no more growth, no more inflation, no more change, those
taxes would be able to satisfy all of our services from here to eternity, because we
would not need to increase anything or decrease anything per se and we would have
Page 6
Meridian City Council Work Session
Item#1. November 24,2020
Page 4 of 16
the revenue stream to maintain that level of service. Unfortunately, we all know that we
don't live in that static world, we are constantly growing, we are the fastest growing city
in the nation, we have inflation, so how do we pay for inflation if this is our base revenue
for our base levels of service, how do we pay for the increased fuels, how do we pay for
increased healthcare, how do we pay for replacing the baseball field at, you know,
Storey Park, how do we pay for those things and, luckily, the state has allowed us to tap
into what we call the three percent allowable. This is the one lever that we get to pull to
determine whether or not we need additional revenues to help pay for additional things
and what I have always promoted here is this is our cost of doing business. We utilize
this money to cover our cost of doing business, which includes rise in fuel costs, rise in
healthcare, rising rise in wages. I mean we just talked about some of the depreciation
or replacement items. We use this cost of doing business, three percent allowable, to
help cover those costs, because the base property taxes is what we use to keep the --
keep the level of service going. The three percent allowable is what we use to help
cover the cost of doing business for those levels of service. So, that is a practice that
we use here at the City of Meridian. That's not a practice that is a -- you know, I can't
say that's what all other agencies do, but that's what we do here. We want to make
sure we live within our means and that's how we manage the three percent allowable.
The third part of the property tax calculation is what's called new construction. Ada
county informs us what has been added to our tax rolls since last year and, then, they
said, hey, this is now an increase to your city. You have this new customer base or
community base that you need the service. So, we get the revenues from this function
and we present this to you as Council in the form of usually budget requests. So, this
would be the new fire officers, the new police officers, the new community development
officers, the new whatnot, because the additional impact to the city by growth has to be
serviced in some form or fashion. We use this revenue to get those services to those
new construction, those new customers that we have in our city. So, that is how we
manage those dollars. Those dollars tonight go to pay for any cost of doing business.
Those dollars do not go back to our base to provide the current level of service. We as
a city never want to become reliant on growth to pay for our current level of service. We
want to live within our means. If we cannot provide the level of service within our base
at our three percent, we should not be providing it from a revenue management
standpoint. We use new money to pay for new growth directly related and when we --
when we present the budget to you we present it that way as well. You can only use
new construction for those new requests. And, then, the fourth piece is annexation,
which is a very small piece of our revenues pie. I will show you what those are --
getting there in these slides with you, but we get to obtain some revenue for new
annexations -- again, another impact to the city by growing, we allow the city to use
those dollars to fund those new resources necessary to meet the demand on the city
based on those new additional growth -- growth areas of the city. You put all four of
those components together and that is what we get as property taxes, base is for the
current level of service, three percent is for cost of doing business, new construction
and annexation is for new growth for the City of Meridian. That is how we manage our
revenue sources within the property tax calculation. So, how does the county calculate
our annual levy rate. Again, it's total property taxes that we just talked about, divided by
the total levy -- or total property value that Ada county tells us and that gets us to a
Page 7
Meridian City Council Work Session
Item#1. November 24,2020
Page 5 of 16
certified annual levy rate. If you did that for fiscal '21 this is what the numbers would
look like. Again, we have approved this levy rate, we are now at .002230856 per -- for
our levy rates and certainly, again, more informational purposes on how a levy rate is
calculated. Again, we manage the revenue side, Ada county revenue -- Ada county
manages the assessed value side, and, then, mathematics determines the levy rate.
This is an historical picture for you guys on what our levy rate looks like. So, it has been
going down every year since 2013. So, it's a good -- good results. I do want to remind
everybody, but that the .002230856 is impacted by the state's property tax relief
program that the City of Meridian did opt into. Next year the levy rate will be higher than
that, because we will no longer be receiving that one time benefit for the city. We
estimated that our levy rate should be in the 29 region. If we did not have that benefit
from the state, it would be .29, which is still below our current levy rate of .3 -- let's see.
Our current levy rate is -- I apologize. I don't have that one memorized. I apologize.
0308. So, again, we are going to go from 0308 to .29 something if we did not have the
tax credit, but we are actually down to .223, because of the property tax relief bill that
we participated in. So, again, that's the historical look on levy rates as certified by the
state. Again, this is -- I'm going to go through these quick. These are just informational
purposes. This is your new -- your total taxable value as per state -- as per Ada county.
They are the ones who inform us what our value above the ground is for the City of
Meridian and you can see we have been growing greatly, which you guys are all familiar
with. This is the new construction value. So, this is where Ada county -- Ada county
assessor is telling us this is how much you are adding to your tax roll every single year
in the new construction. This does not take into consideration inflationary factors of
home prices or anything like that. This is like the new new construction added to your
tax roll. This is another value of annexation. Remember I mentioned annexation is
really not a big impact to us, because we have pretty much annexed most of the city
limits. So, this is just going to get smaller and smaller every year as we, you know,
annex the rest of the county properties within the city limits and, then, this is now going
to go into the actual revenues associated to those values. Again, the base property
taxes -- you can see this year we took a reduction, because we were going to be offset
by the state's tax relief program. If we did not have the state's tax relief program our
revenue this year will be a little bit higher than last year. But, again, we did participate.
So, those are the revenues for our fiscal '21 and previous years as assigned. This is
your allowable property tax taxes that we have collected over the -- since 2005.
Anything that has a blank represents a zero percent allowable. That's that one lever
that we get to pull. Those years of '11 and '12 and '21 we decided to pull the lever to
zero, so that's why you show those as blank. The next one is going to be kind of an
informational slide. I'm going to explain what this represents. This is what you did as a
Council on the lever when you pulled the lever. You can see you pulled the lever three
percent for a majority of the time and '11 and '12 you said zero, '17 was two. So, you
can see that accordingly. I do want to, you know, remind the Council, you guys, that we
have this -- this three percent that you can see moves along this red line and the red
line represents levy rates. You know, there is some interesting counterintuitive actions
that you see in 2004, '5 and '6 and 7 you could see we took the three percent, but the
levy rate went down. In fiscal years '11 and '12 you took zero percent and the levy rate
went up. In, you know, '14, '15, '16, '17, '18 you have -- you have always increased the
Page 8
Meridian City Council Work Session
Item#1. November 24,2020
Page 6 of 16
levy -- you always utilized the three percent, but the levy rate went down. So, it's
counterintuitive. I just want to reiterate that our three percent lever that we pull really
has hardly any impact on the overall levy rate. You know, it's such a minor number -- it's
one million dollars out of 37 million. It has a very little impact on the overall calculation
of the levy rates. The assessed value of the City of Meridian as determined by Ada
county is the largest dictator of our levy rate calculation, it's not three percent allowable
by any means. It's such a minor part in it as you can see here. Our decisions don't
dictate which way the levy rate goes, because if you would have increased the three
percent every single time one would say the leverage should go up every single time.
As you can see there is no direct correlation. It's more of a -- I just wanted to share this
with you that there is no direct correlation on what we determine as a three percent on
the overall impact of the levy rate, it's the assessed value that has the largest
determinant factor. This is our actual revenues collected from new construction. This is
very important for us as a city. When we are growing at this rate, as the fastest growing
city in America, we have a lot of people moving here, which increases demands on all
services of the City of Meridian. We have a secondary revenue source called impact
fees that we collect from our development community. That development community
helps pay for all the infrastructure necessary to support those new services necessary
for the new growth. This new construction here represents the operating expense side
of managing new growth needs on the city. So, the impact fees assist with the
infrastructure necessary to support the additional growth. That is a revenue source that
we use. The new construction and annexation represents the operating, the personnel,
the lights, the gas, the fuel to help maintain and provide the funding to operate those
infrastructure needs for the increased services that the population and development is
imposing on the city. So, again, these revenue sources are very important for us to be
able to provide the police officers, the fire officers, the community development officers
for the new growth that's coming to the City of Meridian. In annexation very little
revenue impact to the City of Meridian. Again, it's pretty minor in the grand scheme of
things. But, again, we do get some initial revenues for it and we provide the services to
these annexation locations in the city. So, those are all the independent revenue
sources. When you put them all together you can see property taxes make up the
majority of where we get our revenue sources from and, then, new construction is the
next piece and you can see allowable and annexation very very very minor in the grand
-- in the total accumulation of revenues for the City of Meridian. So, those are property
taxes, our property tax sources, how we value, how we generate revenues, how we use
our revenues. You know, we piece it into four different pie -- slices of the pie. Again, we
want to make sure we manage our revenues correctly, so we can be sustainable long
term. Another way we look at the property tax is what we call a burden. Burden is
determined by who is paying the property taxes. We work with Ada county, we get their
information directly from them and what this tells us is who is paying our property taxes
and as you can see it's mostly residential, which probably is not a surprise to you.
Again, we are a heavy residential community with commercial in second place.
commercial is our second largest contributor. Again another way to look at it is if you
portion it out in hundred percents, this year for fiscal '20 is the highest we have ever had
for residential burden. We have never been at 68.5 percent burden. That means more
and more of the property taxes are being paid by the residential community. We do
Page 9
Meridian City Council Work Session
Item#1. November 24,2020
Page 7 of 16
have commercial sitting at 28.3 percent, but you can see in some years they were up to
36 percent. Again, not too much of a surprise to you guys. I think you guys approve all
the developments, you know you are approving more residential and commercial. This
will continue to have a residential burden weighted on the residential side. I personally
think it's a great problem. Residential values are very strong and very consistent. The
commercial property is more volatile, but, again, from a balancing act for development
and planning, I know you need to have some more commercial, but residential is a solid
revenue source for the City of Meridian because houses usually don't get up and leave.
So, again, it's not a bad problem to have residential homes. They generate a very
consistent and static revenue collected for us. We have a collection rate of 99 percent
of revenues of taxes, which is amazing. So, we have a one percent kind of delay in
collecting revenue. So, we have a very sound property tax base out there, which is a
great problem to have. So, again, that's burden. Again, that -- and, you know, there is
lots of discussions why is commercial not paying -- or why is commercial last, why is
residential growing. Many discussions are being held at the state legislature about this.
Again, I'm happy to discuss my opinions and thoughts at a later time with you. But,
again, I just wanted to introduce burden -- you know, burden management for the City of
Meridian on property taxes. The next item -- the next few slides -- again we are going to
go through these kind of faster than we have in the other slides. These are just
comparatives. This is from May 2020. 1 don't get the new data until every May. So, the
next set of data won't be until May 21 . But this is your general fund tax levy comparison
amongst the few cities that we compared here at the city in the Finance Department.
We track these other cities every year. For the second largest city in the state of Idaho
you are the fourth lowest general fund levy rate. So, congratulations to you guys. I
mean you guys are the ones that are let -- allowing this to occur. I think it's amazing
what the city does with such a low tax levy rate compared to -- I mean just look at our
neighbor to the east, I mean we are half of them and you guys are -- we are providing
amazing services for half the revenue source and farther right you go on the slide that's
even a better deal. Another way of looking at it is we only have one levy rate here at the
City of Meridian. Many other agencies have up to eight levy rates. So, if we took all of
those levy rates into consideration we are the fourth. The previous slide only showed
what we call the general fund comparison, which is known as -- which is this slide --
which is the general fund line right there. So, I compare just the general fund and, then,
I also compare the total property tax levy rate as well. Again, so you can see many
cities have multiple levy rates, whereas us, Boise, Kuna, Rexburg, we have all decided
to manage ours -- our levy rates with only one. No right or -- that's just how they all
manage it. But, again, just wanted to give you the data where we get the data from to
show you the graphs. If you had -- if let's say Liz had a home in Meridian and a home in
Caldwell and a home in Mountain Home and let's say Liz's three homes were all 200
grand each, she would pay these taxes in each of those homes. So, for her home in
Mountain Home she's paying a thousand dollars for that same 200 dollar -- 200,000
dollar home that she's paying 350 in Meridian. So, are we a value? The answer is yes.
I think we are doing amazing from a value perspective when compared to other
agencies in the state of Idaho and also being the second largest city in the state of
Idaho. And more informational purposes, we only represent 26.7 percent of your total
levy rates. Again, there is ten other agencies that represents 73 percent of the total levy
Page 10
Meridian City Council Work Session
Item#1. November 24,2020
Page 8 of 16
rates. I do want to remind everybody that, you know, we -- it's literally impossible for us
to say that we can lower your taxes. There is not a person in the state that can ever say
that, because we don't manage all 11 agencies. So, please, be careful of saying, hey,
we can lower your taxes, because if someone's house goes up 30 percent, it's going to
be nearly impossible for you to be able to say you will lower their taxes. So, again, just
want to know -- let -- let you know that we only represent 26 percent of the tax bill and
that we need to manage it accordingly. Here we are going to get into some math.
Cavener: Sorry, Mr. Mayor and Todd.
Lavoie: Yes.
Cavener: Can we go back two slides?
Lavoie: Yep. No problem.
Cavener: Maybe one more. So, this one here -- I have tried to wrap my head around
the comparisons that you were putting together, because the one slide ahead it looks
like you have taken kind of a -- all the -- the levy rates from our current tax bill. So, I'm
-- I guess what I'm trying to get at is where we sit total property tax payment with all the
districts that a Meridian resident pays into versus other municipalities. Does that make
sense?
Lavoie: I believe -- I -- it does make sense, yes.
Cavener: But this slide here is the -- the taxes paid comparison, but we don't
necessarily have a -- a complete levy rate comparison slide.
Simison: And, Councilman Cavener, if I can also add in, that's a taxes comparison on a
-- two equally valued homes.
Cavener: Right.
Simison: The average home in Meridian is not the average home in Pocatello. So, it's
not what their --
Cavener: You are kind of getting where I was headed, so --
Simison: Yeah. I'm happy to have a conversation about the purpose of -- or the -- my
viewpoint on the levy conversation and its relevance, but that's separate. But this is the
least comparative --
Cavener: Okay.
Simison: -- in some aspects.
Page 11
Meridian City Council Work Session
Item#1. November 24,2020
Page 9 of 16
Lavoie: And, Luke, I'm happy to get you a -- we have that data, if you would like us to
present that to you. We have the total tax bill for multiple agencies that we review, so
that you can see where the City of Meridian resides from a total tax bill in each city. So,
we do track that data as well.
Cavener: Great. I think -- and for -- maybe for a future conversation, I think it would be
good to, you know, compare the -- the total levy rate of a district kind of across the state.
That to me is just beneficial to kind of wrap my head around -- that's the one thing that
at least is somewhat consistent is to know what somebody's property tax payment is in
Meridian versus Pocatello, Mountain Home, etcetera.
Lavoie: Yes. No, we have -- I have the data for you. I can easily send it out. We are --
in that analysis we are the second lowest.
Cavener: Okay.
Lavoie: So, I will be happy to send this file out to you guys right after this meeting, so
you can see what people pay for their total tax bill as you stated, Luke.
Cavener: Thank you.
Lavoie: Thank you.
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: Thank you. I guess maybe for -- for you, Mayor Simison and Todd. So, I feel
like there is some great information here. We don't often see members of the
legislature attend these meetings or discuss property taxes with us. You know, we are a
debt free city, we save before we spend, and we are planning in ten year increments. I
guess I'm curious -- you know, have we ever provided this information proactively to
members of the legislature? Are we considering that or is there a way to try to dialogue
with them, particularly in light of, you know, the property tax working groups proposals
that seem very ill conceived in my opinion. I'm just curious if we are able to, you know,
share and try to dialogue with this information.
Lavoie: I can -- oh, go ahead, Robert.
Simison: I believe that the CFO is presenting this to the Council so you all can do that
as you see it in your conversations. To be honest, I don't know -- this is very heavy on
the levy rate and I don't know that the levy rate is always a good thing to engage the
legislature on. It's difficult for people to under -- the biggest -- to get wrapped around
the levy rate when the levy rate is really not the answer or this -- the problem or the
solution in the conversation. But this is informative and we will see where it goes from
here.

Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: Thank you. Yeah. I -- you know, I agree, I -- I just -- it feels like, you know,
maybe an opportune time to have that dialogue. I certainly will personally open up
those channels of communication. I guess I would encourage Council maybe to have,
you know, a session or something about -- about that. I'm just -- I'm looking at, you
know, a city that's trying to build two fire stations and a police station and we have got
some proposals that say, you know, don't do that, just issue debt and I -- and I -- I feel
like it would be great to be proactive about that.
Lavoie: I appreciate the questions and, again, we are happy to assist with any data
collection that you might need to have those conversations with legislative branch
members. Just reach out and let us know. With that the next five slides I'm really not
going to go over them much. There is -- I provided them to you for informational
purposes only. They are still mortgage comparisons on what a property tax house
would look like, how much on average they are paying. Again, it's just more
informational purposes only for you. You know, we track six homes to see how we are
doing. You know, this is just information that, hey, we are keeping an eye on this, you
know, what did the average home price pay in City of Meridian taxes. You can see it
went down 19 -- or let's see. Residential went down about -- no. I apologize. Wrong
one. About 19.7 percent on that one. So, again, total property taxes paid -- this is what
they -- you know, is what we show our six homes are doing. We also track, you know,
commercial properties to see how they are doing.
Simison: Mr. Lavoie?
Lavoie: Yes, sir.
Simison: Is that total -- does that take in account the one time change this year?
Lavoie: Are you talking about the property taxes paid?
Simison: Yes.
Lavoie: Yes, Robert, that does take into consideration the current levy rate, which is a
one time benefit to the property taxpayer. So, this does take into that consideration of
the program that we participated in.
Simison: Would it be possible to show what this is without that one time? Because I
think that's a more accurate reflection of where property taxes are.
Lavoie: So, it would be all projected, but we will be happy to calculate that for you. But,
please, note that it would be projected.

Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: I was kind of thinking along those lines as well. I was hoping for this year,
either with, you know, the average home or by some metric we could show what the
average would have been -- especially for residential owners if there wasn't the one
time governor's property tax relief, just because I feel like residents are getting set up for
what could be a huge change in following years. So, it would be great to wrap our
heads around a quantum of that.
Lavoie: Yeah, Liz, we will be happy to generate that analysis for you. You are correct,
next year is going to be an eye opener when your tax bill comes in without that credit.
You are a hundred percent correct. So, we do the same thing for commercial. Like you
can see, commercial -- again, they experienced on average -- of our -- of our nine
properties -- this is not representing every house and/or commercial property in the city
of Idaho -- or Meridian. I just want to make that clear that this only represents nine
properties and six other residential properties. So, it's only 15 properties throughout the
city. Again, this is just our properties that we always track. Residential went down 19
percent. Commercial went down 25 percent in the same comparatives with the
commercial and, then, just want to remind everybody that property tax makes up a
majority of our revenue sources at 60 percent. Intergovernmental is our second largest
at 15. So, of the 75 percent of your revenue sources that you as Council is responsible
for, you have one lever, that's three percent. Everything else is managed by the state,
the county, or somebody else. We have one little lever out of 75 percent of your
revenue sources. We need to make sure we manage that the best we can. The other
revenue sources are under our purview. But, again, that only represents 25 percent.
So, again, just wanted to remind everyone that 75 percent is our majority of our revenue
sources and we always want to make sure we manage it accordingly.
Cavener: Todd?
Lavoie: Yes. Yes.
Cavener: Sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt. Mr. Mayor, if I may?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Lavoie: You're good.
Cavener: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Todd, I assume that the -- the revenue -- the dollars
that came from the state this year, that's covered under the other general revenue at
that three percent?
Lavoie: Oh, no. It will be in our property. We threw it in with our property.
Page 14
Meridian City Council Work Session
Item#1. November 24,2020
Page 12 of 16
Cavener: Okay. Okay. Thank you.
Lavoie: Yeah. No. Thank you for the question. So, yeah, that's the presentation today.
That's property tax 101. 1 just wanted to really allow you guys opportunity to dialogue
and have questions about how property taxes work. It's not intuitive all the time. Just
wanted to allow you guys to ask questions and, again, next property -- you know, these
are the things that we covered today. Next meeting that we will present to you will be in
a nonpresentation format, just deliver the answers and results to you, most likely. We
will give you the results of 2020, how did we do budget versus actual. Changes to the
fund balance. Did we add to the fund balance? Did we decreased to the fund balance?
We will let you know what our -- what our top revenue sources are, which you got a
glimpse of, which is going to be property taxes and intergovernmental and, then, we will
let you know what our top five expenses are for the fiscal year 2020. Again, I would
stand or sit for questions and I'm happy to dialogue or obtain any other information that
you wish to have, because we think it's timely that we get involved, like Liz stated, about
property taxes, because legislators will be -- legislation will be put to the floor and I think
if we can be involved, let them know our voices. I think that's very important, kind of like
what Liz was talking about, and I'm happy to be a resource for you guys if needed.
Simison: Council, any questions?
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Todd, to Council Member Strader's comments, you know, we heard last week
from some of our friends in the legislature talk at great length about their encouraging of
municipalities to look at -- at bonding for -- for capital projects.
Lavoie: Yes.
Cavener: You know, 180 degrees to kind of the philosophical view of previous mayors
and councils, I'm just curious as our CFO is there a financial argument to be made for
supporting the suggestions that are coming from the statehouse? Should we be looking
at deviating from the model that we have followed and, if so, what positive impact does
that have on -- on property tax bills?
Lavoie: There are a few questions there. I will see what I can do on answering them
all. Do I believe taking debt is a good thing for our taxpayers? I would say no, because
that only adds interest to the value. So, I don't see how you can save money by adding
interest to a debt situation. Don't get me wrong, the debt numbers -- lending numbers
are amazing right now, so if you are going to take on debt this is the time you want to do
so. But in five years, seven years, what if it's up to seven percent? You know, then,
now the state legislature just put all the agencies in a really tough bind, now we are
going to be borrowing at seven percent, which is an increase to the property taxpayers
at the end of the day. So, yeah, right now it might look great to take on debt, because
Page 15
Meridian City Council Work Session
Item#1. November 24,2020
Page 13 of 16
the rates are amazing. Ten years no one knows. That could be, you know, changing
quickly. I think back in the '80s and '90s it was, what, 17 percent to borrow. So, again,
do I think debt is great? Yeah. Only when the rates are great. But not for a long term
situation. I don't think it would help the taxpayers at all, to answer your question, Luke.
I think it's an increase to our taxpayers. Can we fiscally manage our finances correctly?
I think the City of Meridian is an example of, yes, you can. We have done it
successfully as one of the fastest growing cities. I think we can be a loud voice in that
discussion that, hey, we are an example of, yes, you can make this happen if you
properly plan and be involved with long-term planning and get your revenues in the
correct place. Can we do it? Ninety-nine percent of the agencies in America have debt.
That's how they finance all their construction. We are -- we are the outlier. There is no
doubt about it. Is it a good thing? I think it's a great thing. I think it saves the
taxpayers. Legislation representatives were talking about, well, the burden is being put
on the current homeowners and not the future homeowners and that's what fund does.
Funding puts the cost burden on the people who are going to use it, because the future
people are paying for the construction of the particular asset. True statement. I cannot
argue against that. But that's a short window of view. If you look at it over the next
hundred years, all property taxpayers are going to pay some proportionate share of the
City of Meridian's infrastructure at some point in time if they all sit here. Again, in that
small window, yes, the people in the future will pay for the infrastructure that they are
paying for and if they -- but if you look at the long term, the way we do it is you pay --
you save as you go and the current people are paying for the future people, but when
the future people get here they will be paying for the future people in the next cycle. So,
again, over a hundred years it probably breaks out even, but we just happen to segment
our revenue requests from this particular customer group, rather than this customer
group. So, again, who is right or who is wrong in this, that's going to be the
philosophical debate, but we believe the current City of Meridian property taxpayers are
going to pay their infrastructure portion over the long term of the city's growth, not just a
small 20 year bond window and that's how my philosophy is. Not to say it's right or
wrong, but that's my philosophy is over time all city taxpayers will pay some
proportionate share of the growth of the City of Meridian.
Simison: Councilman Cavener, just to put a number to it, what I have traditionally heard
from the school district is a bond has a 50 percent cost increase to the asset. So, really,
the question would be is how long does it take you to save that asset versus increasing
construction costs versus the 50 percent increase if you were to do it immediately.
That's generally speaking.
Cavener: Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Thank you, Mr. Lavoie. I appreciate your
presentation today.
Lavoie: Thank you, Luke.
Cavener: You guys do a great job.
Simison: Council, any additional questions at this time?
Page 16

Item#1. November 24,2020
Page 14 of 16
Perreault: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Perreault.
Perreault: Todd, would you mind taking us through -- there is -- there is -- you know,
there is when a property gets assessed and, then, when the city actually sees the funds
come from the county and so if you -- let's say you have new construction that happens
in January of this year, that is not added to the county tax rolls until early 2021 and,
then, you get that information by June of 2021 and, then, that is included in the
expected revenues for fiscal year 2021-22.
Lavoie: '22.
Perreault: '22.
Lavoie: Yes. So, we are about 12 to 18 months in arrears.
Perreault: Okay. So, that's -- so, let's say that there was construction that was built
January of 2020. We are not seeing that -- those actual funds from the county until
2022? Collected from the -- from the property owner and sent to the -- sent to the city.
Lavoie: So, if you build something right now is your example?
Perreault: No. I'm talking about if it's -- let's say early in the year.
Lavoie: Okay. Yeah. We don't get that until fiscal -- until 18 months later. Correct.
Perreault: Okay.
Lavoie: Yep. You got that correct.
Perreault: Okay.
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: Just a comment. I just want to thank you, Todd, and especially the previous
city councils and mayors that came before us; right? Right now everyone's talking more
money today. I feel like I hear that all the time. It doesn't matter what party it is. And I
just appreciate the fact that we have saved before we spend, that we have been so
thoughtful over the long term, and I just wanted to state my support for how we have --
how we manage our finances historically and I -- I appreciate you presenting this and
hope that in the future we will be able to model the impact of some of these proposals, if
they feel like they are getting traction, so people can understand exactly what that would
mean for them. Thank you, Todd.
Page 17
Meridian City Council Work Session
Item#1. November 24,2020
Page 15 of 16
Lavoie: I appreciate that and I echo your words to the previous council members. They
are the ones who have put us in this successful position. This then -- we didn't get here
by chance. There has been a lot of blood, sweat, and tears over the last 30, 40 years to
manage the city's growth to where it's at and I agree with you, Liz, a lot of kudos to
those previous council members and decision makers.
Simison: Councilman Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: Yes. And I concur with the Council Woman Strader's comments and -- and I
think Todd said something very important and that is to live within our means, so we can
maintain the level of services and -- and work hard to meet the needs as they arise with
the growth and I think we are doing a good job with that and -- and to that comment
about, you know, we should -- we should borrow and bond to, you know, put it on future
-- future residents, if you will, and with the -- the level of our federal debt, the way it is
right now, which is I think unconscionable, I don't think we should be adding a local debt
on top of what my children, grandchildren, and their children will be paying for -- for
many many many years, so -- I prefer our current method of doing things and, hopefully,
with our legislators we can work out something that -- that's a solution that works --
works for everybody. Thank you for that presentation, Todd. Very helpful.
Lavoie: Appreciate that, Brad, and I agree with you. Hopefully legislation can help the
school districts and other districts realize they have other revenue tools called impact
fees that can really aid in the management of growth and that's where Meridian has
been quite successful. We tapped into that revenue source years ago, so that parks,
fire and police can build infrastructure to meet the needs of the growth and that's where
we have been successful. I think last year you probably saw Nampa increase their
rates by 900 percent. You know, that was just a decision that, unfortunately, they did
not maximize that revenue opportunity like we did and they are seeing some of the
negative impacts with that, where our previous decision, Brad included, has set the city
up with a successful impact fee model and that is something that we heavily rely on,
because development should pay for their fair share.
Simison: Okay. Council, any further questions? All right. Thank you, Mr. Lavoie.
Lavoie: Thank you.

Subject: Washington State University and Meridian Police Department Officer
Video Study
The Meridian Police Department is partnering with the Washington State University
Criminal Justice program and will be participating in their landmark study on how police
departments can utilize body worn camera recordings to help determine how well their
officers interact with the community. This research will focus on officer and citizen
interactions where there is conflict and will help the Meridian Police Department make
sure their officers are communicating effectively with the public. The Meridian Police
Department will then be able to use this data to ensure their training classes and
techniques are yielding the best results possible, a benefit for officers and citizens alike.

Page 3 of 8
Page 54
Item#6.
5.4.2 Access to the MPD Body Camera Footage by the Project Director and Key
Personnel will occur through the cloud storage system of Evidence.com.
This video cloud system provides access to the archival MPD Body
Camera Footage. The video portion of the MPD Body Camera Footage is
then coded through this platform. Using this system allows WSU to stream
the footage from the cloud system. WSU shall neither store nor download
any MPD Body Camera Footage on the WSU system, or on any other
system. While WSU has narrowed the categories of interactions for
analysis, they additionally require that if coders are viewing a video that
meets any of the following criteria, they will stop coding: recordings taking
place within a hospital, and those recorded in a personal residence. With
these narrowed categories and specific exemptions, data coded will reflect
those interactions taking place in the public space. Additionally, the Project
Director and Key Personnel who encounter a person they know, are
required to stop coding, report the video, and WSU will assign another
person to code the video. Information collected through this analysis
contains no personal identifiable information. WSU has provided the
codebook to the WSU Institutional Review Board (IRB)for their review.
5.4.3 Results from the coded videos are then used to inform the analysis.
Protocol for this is included in the Provisional Patent and if deemed
necessary WSU will provide the Provisional Patent and explanation of this
process to the WSU IRB. Video of the recorded interaction will be stored
only on Evidence.com and WSU will not download or store such video on
any WSU or other system. No audio of the recorded interaction will be
required, used, downloaded, or stored on any WSU or other system.
5.5 Publication. WSU reserves the right to publish or permit to be published by WSU
employees the results of the SCOPE OF WORK undertaken by WSU employees.
To prevent untimely disclosure or exploitation of MPD Confidential Information,
WSU shall provide MPD Liaison with a copy of any proposed publication resulting
from the SCOPE OF WORK at least thirty (30) days prior to submission for
publication. MPD shall have thirty (30) days (the "Pre-publication Review Period")

ATTACHMENT A— SCOPE OF WORK
ORSO # 139452-001
This research concerns the development of baseline measures for Use of Force and emotionally
intense interactions. WSU will code police interactions as they occur within the community. This
coding of police interactions concerns two primary areas: Use of Force and Procedural Justice.
By coding this video, WSU can contextualize what situational and dynamic factors were
associated with use of force and procedural justice. As they gain better insight into the factors
associated with use of force and procedural justice, they are better able to inform policy and
practice to improve police-citizen interactions. Additionally, this research will involve the
development of a tool for automated analysis and classification of body camera footage as to
intensity. When fully developed, this classifier will allow agencies to be able to analyze their
recorded footage to identify those interactions that display high intensity.
Application of such classifier include early identification of high-intensity interactions in order to
monitor officer response and needs. For example, an officer who underwent a traumatic incident
may subsequently change their interactions with people in the field. Currently, the primary way an
agency would know of this change is through a complaint or self-reports by the officer. This delay
getting assistance to the officer and increases the risk to the public. With WSU's research, an
agency would be able to notice this early and intervene to address the issue — by providing
support. The potential benefits of this research will allow for the development of early warning
systems, verification of police adherence to agency protocol, and allow us to better understand
the situational and dynamic factors associated with procedural justice and use of force.
In conducting this research and development, WSU will neither download MPD Body Camera
Footage, nor retain video or audio data from such footage. No MPD Body Camera Footage will
be included in any patent applications related to this research or any related products/tools
developed by WSU.

MEMO TO CITY COUNCIL
Request to Include Topic on the City Council Agenda
From: Tori Cleary, Community Development Meeting Date: November 24, 2020
Presenter: Tori Cleary Estimated Time: 0.0
Topic: Resolution No. 20-2244: Authorizing the Mayor to Sign Agreements Between the
City of Meridian and Enumerated Recipients of Idaho Rebounds - Municipal Small
Business Grant Funds
Recommended Council Action:
Please authorize the Mayor to sign, on behalf of the City, grantee agreements with 25 approved
recipients of Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act(CARES) Act funds available
through the Meridian Small Business Grant Program, in order to facilitate the timely disbursement
of such funds.
Background:
The State of Idaho has received federal financial assistance from the Coronavirus Relief Fund,
though the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. A portion of these funds
were made available to cities, including the City of Meridian, for disbursement to local small
businesses. In September,the City Council approved the designation of$1 million from the City's
CARES Act allocation to establish a Municipal Small Business Grant (MSBG) Program, and on
September 11, 2020, the State approved Meridian's MSBG program. Through this program, the
City will disburse MSBG funds to Meridian small businesses for the reimbursement of eligible
expenses incurred due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Several Meridian businesses, including the twenty-five (25) listed in this resolution, submitted
applications to the City for MSBG funds. Applications were reviewed by Community Development
Department/Economic Development Division staff to verify qualifying businesses/organizations,
ensure eligibility of requested reimbursements, and secure accompanying documentation.
Applications were then forwarded to a review committee, comprised of a member of the Meridian
Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Committee, and representatives of the Finance
Department, and the Mayor's Office. The eligible expenses were forwarded to the State, and the
State agreed that these 25 grantees and the City-approved expenses are eligible for MSBG funds.
The last step is for the State to release these funds to the City,which will then disburse the funds to
the approved grantees.
As with all grant disbursements,the City will require the selected grantees to enter into an
Agreement with the City establishing terms and conditions of the use of such funds. The City will
ask each grantee to enter into the sample agreement that is attached to the resolution.
Page 61
Item#7.
In order to facilitate the timely disbursement of MSBG funds to the grantees,the City Council will,
by this resolution, authorize the Mayor to sign these 25 agreements on behalf of the City, following
execution of the agreement by the grantee. Under the terms of the agreement, the City's obligation
to disburse funds will attach only upon receipt of the MSBG funding from the State.
