mination. Mrs. Westby had presented the conditional use request and hearing was
conducted by President of Council, :•lilliams. There were no comments from the public
Williams reviewed the public hearing request and recommended the request be granted.
The Motion was made by Williams and seconded by Brewer that the conditional use for a
Bicycle Shop, Kenneth llestby, 234 E. 2nd St, be granted.
Motion Carried: Williams, yea; Kingsford, yea; Brewer, yea; Orton, ,yea.

2 Settlers Village - Protective Covenants
Bill Blankinship, architect, representing the owners Dimeo-Gordon Enterprises, Aloha,
Oregon presented covenants stating: "The only changes are in reference to the water
wells and sewage," (Page 7 and 8, Section 14 and 15) adding, "and the City of Meridian,"
after, "Idaho Department of Public Health."
Blankinship stated that a blanket article of incorporation of Settlers Village Business
Association has been drawn up and the owners have also requested that a blanket corporate
body for the residential section which would not take effect, but available if they
wanted it.
Blankinship explained the background of the Village has been setting for three or more
years, the previous covenants authorized 4-plexes, 6,000 sq. ft. lots were not workable,
also one half of the section was zoned commercial, in other words, the previous cove-
nants are not usuable. The preliminary covenants presented at this time has a pro-
vision to take care of the park.
Piayor Glaisyer stated he will meet with Blankinship, the APA Board, HUD, and FHA on
Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. to discuss this development. He will report back to the Council
after this meeting.
Brewer questioned the ground floor area, the possibility of less than two-car garages,
the minimum cost of $42,000.
Blankinship explained this was put in covenants for protective measures, put in as
"minimum" for house, and cost and write in phrase, "as of the filing of these covenants."
That "minimum" would escalate along with the normal inflation cycle so that they
wouldn't be out of date. The one-car garage is intended, plus off street parking, as
they do not look for large families. The units vary, 1200 to 1600 sq. ft. under roof.
(Page 4, Section 3 of Covenants)
Theme type concept, all the homes would be a type and the commercial section a con-
tinuation of that type. The fence, landscaping could be of a Spanish theme, the roof,
common wall, permanent and fire proof .
The Motion was made by Orton and seconded by Williams that the Preliminary Covenants
as presented for Settlers Village be tabled until the next regular meeting.
Motion Carried: Williams, yea; Kingsford, yea; Brewer, yea; Orton, yea.

3 l4arren Shepard - Meridian Boats
8. 1980
Shepard stated that he has sold his business of Meridian Boats and no longer owns
the building at 331 E. 1st St. He was before the Council to report the problem of
the washing of boats, plus the rainy season, there has been puddling with no walk-
way. Shepard stated that his sewer charge has had a 1,500q increase and contended
this was not justified with only one toilet and two employees.
There was much discussion concerning an adjustment of Meridian Boats sewer charge.
Williams stated that he appreciated both the city's and Shepard's position and that
there will have to be changes made before that building can be used again. The
drainage problem would be the ACHD and State Highway's responsibility.
Williams recommended the minimum residential rate per month for 11 months to settle
the bill, but that is not a Question for the next owner because the building will
have to be brought up to code. He questioned the building inspector if this was
correct. Building inspector agreed.
The Motion was made by Orton and seconded by Kingsford to adjust the Meridian Boats
sewer charge for 11 months to the minimum residential rate totaling $48.40.
Motion Carried: Williams, yea; Kingsford, yea; Brewer, yea; Orton, yea.
Agenda

CPA, as the City Auditor for the fiscal ,year of 1980-1981.
Motion Carried: Williams, yea; Kingsford, yea; Brewer, yea; Orton nay.

6 Larry Ripley - Sewer District
Ripley who is a member of Elam & Burke Law Firm explained his presence, by invitation
of Jim Potter, to outline the advantages and disadvantages of a sewer district pro-
viding part of an effluent service for Meridian and surrounding area. Nis firm
represents the N/W Sewer District in Boise, and the ldest Boise Sewer District. He
has also assisted other entities throughout the State of Idaho in exploring the
feasibility of forming sewer districts. Ripley stated that the land that is not in
an improved state, there would be no worry of dispute, as Boise has become involved in.
Ripley stated, "Basically what we have here, as I understand it, is that the City of
Meridian, for various reasons, seems reluctant to provide sewer service to that area."
(south of freeway). "By reluctant, I mean you have the problems of finance, what
particular area do you have pre-treatment problems, administrative problems, etc.
Basically, a sewer district removes those problems and at the same time gives you the
same amount of control that you have always had. The reason for that is you control
the treatment plant and by controlling the treatment plant, you have the ability to
dictate the terms of the contract that the hypothetical sewer district would have to
enter into with the City of Meridian for it's treatment. In this particular instance,
Meridian City Hall .3. August 18, 1980
there is also the problem of water, and the same thing can apply there. You can form
a sewer district or a water district or both. The city does not really lose any
control of the area by a formation of a district. The Supreme Court, as well as other
jurisdications, has recognized that a sewer district isn't really a "municipality", but
a "special political subdivision", created fora very limited purpose - that is treat-
ment of effluent or providing water service. In a contract, the city could dictate the
total amount of effluent that the city is willing to accept into transmission lines -
the meeting point would be metered. The city could require such things as pre-treatment,
set the rates and charges for the entire district."
Williams stated, "You (Ripley) made a statement earlier that is erroneous. I would like
to correct it for the record. The statement you made 'that the city does not desire to
enter into that area for sewage' - our city ordinances require that developments within
the city limits of Meridian hook onto the city's municipal sewer system, it also requires
that the developer pay for, and come to, existing trunk lines in order to provide service."
Ripley agreed to this as being common practice. He stated, "The courts and other juris-
dictions have ruled that you satisfy that ordinance by the creation of a sewer district.
The city, through it's zoning powers, has the ability to dictate the fact that a parcel of
property will not be improved and have structures on it unless it is connected for cen-
tralized sewer or water, but the courts have said that requirement is satisfied if indeed
it is hooked to a centralized sewer, and in this particular instance would require a
contract between the sewer district and the City of Meridian for the treatment of the
effluent because you control the treatment facilities."
Ripley stated,"The advantages to the sewer district are as many as the drafters of the "
contract between the city and the hypothetical sewer district. You can require such
things as if the sewer district would not desire to provide service to a particular area
that the city desired to serve, but you had in between our area that the sewer district
didn't desire to serve and the City of Meridian, the sewer district, then the contract
could require that the sewer district, fora transportation charge of the effluent would
transport the effluent of a particular area that the City of Meridian desired. I look
on a sewer district as being a vehicle by which you can finance a very large expansion
of an existing municipality sewer system. The way in which a sewer district is financed,
is a bond election in which all of the individuals within the sewer district vote, and
incumber the property of that sewer district through advalorem taxes."
Ripley went through how one sewer district is formed: "Circulate petitions, file with
the district court, court review legal documents, determine whether or not it will certify
for election, hold an election and it's formed, then the the city can negotiate the con-
tract. If the city did not desire a particular provision in the contract, then you would
know that prior to the time that you have passed the bond election, because it would be
essential to have a treatment contract with the City of Meridian before you ever have a
bond election."
Ripley stated, "The disadvantage is that the municipality does not have its personnel
working that area - it's the sewer districts. The sewer district is required to provide
all the necessary services as far as maintenance in that sewer district."
Orton asked, "How do we enforce payment?"
Ripley answered, "Sue under contract; power to disconnect; the Board of Directors of the
sewer district would have to be extremely redicent to have gotten in that position. EPA
must approve of the contract and require rates and charges meet approval of the city and
EPA."
Orton asked, "Can we contract the maintenance and operation of the line the sewer district
might build?"
Ripley answered, "You can go further than that, you can contract with the sewer district
and they handle the billing."
Orton asked, "Is it realistic that a sewer district for this particular area can sell
bonds at this point in time?"
Ripley answered, "Yes, when a sewer district sells its bonds, it's a general obligation
bond backed by the value of the property within that area. A revenue bond carries a
higher rate of interest."
Orton asked, "Earl, do we have a local industrial cost recovery?"
Earl ldard stated, "We could be covered under the minor or major contributing industry
cost recovery."
Meridian City Hall .4. August 18, 1980
Williams stated, "We are working on that ordinance now."
The federal Cost Recovery was discussed.
Ripley stated, "You could provide that there would be a contract for service for X number
of years, now you have to peg the years to the point where the bond holder would be
satisfied that he's got a place for that sewage to be treated, but at the end of a
particular period of time, you could provide that the parties agree that an election
will be held as to whether or not to disband the district. You can provide for an
election."
Kingsford asked, "What in the contract for the city pre-determines the boundaries, what
if there was a portion the city did not want to service? Can this be included in the
contract?"
Ripley answered, "On a limited basis you could. The powerful tool you have is to limit
the amount of effluent that you will permit the sewer district to discharge. At the
time the city applied for the grants upon construction you provided a treatment area,
EPA will look with a ,jaundiced eye if you go outside that aFea and deprive another portion
within that plan."
Brewer asked, "This district could go way outside the limits of the city?"
Ripley answered, "The legal ability of the district? That's correct, but you could limit
very sharply the ability of the district to do that by limiting the effluent."
The mayor called for comments.
Brewer stated, "We have been a year and a half trying to get sewer and water across that
freeway, we apparently lost two or three interested industrial promoters."
Mayor Glaisyer asked, "Who did we lose?"
Brewer answered, "Williamson Trucking, the Plastic Co.- we might have lost them for other
reasons, but we have several developments, Mar-Mon and other interested people trying to
sign tennants - this seems the closest and most reasonable solution so far. I've thought
for a year and a half that there has to be a solution. This isn't it exactly, but it is
maybe the cleanest sounding I've heard so far, other than trying to wait twenty years for
politics, money, to clear the way - and the possibility of the city being able to do it."
Orton stated, "In the formation stages, basically the petition has to be passed by the
landowners and then that goes to the court, the court certifies it, then there is an
election. Where does the city come in?"
Ripley answered, "It doesn't."
Orton asked, "Then they can form this district without either our approval or endorsement?"
Ripley answered, "Yes, but I'll tell you, if the city is not interested in entering into
a contract for the treatment of the effluent, then they may pursue sewer districts, but
they will do it without me."
Orton stated, "Go back to the financial aspects of the districts versus LID's. What might
the terms and the rate of interest be?"
Ripley answered, "I can't tell you that - all I know is that a GO Bond carries the lowest
rate of interest because, (a) it's tax exempt, (b) it's backed by advalorem taxation
which Wall Street still thinks real property is the best security you can have for bonds."
Orton, adressing the audience, "Do the people on the south side of the highway all support
the concept of a sewer district to get the sewer and water lines across there, are you
unified?"
John Cooknell stated, "I can only speak for Mar-Mon Tower Plaza Associates. I must
correct Mr. Ripley - the City Council has at no time ever been reluctant to build or fund
sewer or water south of the freeway - they were never asked, as it was not their respon-
sibility. The whole object, as far as my firm is concerned, is how a group of neighbors
could solve financing getting the water and sewer extention south of the freeway and we
looked at LID procedure, it has many advantages, but many encumberances on the city - we
looked at Latecomers Ordinances and we are currently looking at the sewer district. From
the discussion I've had with other members of the Gateway South Sewer Association over
the last year and a half, is that we are looking for an equitable method to finance the
project, that will be acceptable to the city and that we can work with in harmony."
Orton asked, "Do you feel the sewer district will provide that?"
Cooknell answered, "Sewer District has some tremendous advantages, after talking to Mr.
Ripley, and his associate the other day at lunch, it has certain advantages we are not
presently facing, but may face in the future. If we have a situation whereby it is the
difference between adequate water pressure and/or sewer service, such as a new well or
,5, August 18, 1980
another extension underneath the freeway to form a loop. A sewer district could do those
things, whereby if an individual landowner or two landowners get together and take the
sewer and water across the freeway and then the next development comes up, or the city
desires it, then they have to figure out how they are going to punch that loop or well.
It (sewer district) is a financing vehicle that allows landowners who have a lot of money
in land and not a lot in the bank to be able to finance a municipal extension. I person-
ally like the sewer district in that it does allow the city to control and I think the
landowners involved are committed to city control and in making this thing work as the
city plans it's growth.. As far as vae (P1ar-Mon Developers) are concerned, we are looking
for an equitable way to finance the way amongst ourselves."
Marty Igo stated, "I have an agency role with Winston Moore who owns 21 acres in the area
you are referring to -and I can't accept the last point you made in which you (Ripley)
assumed acceptance. I stand reluctantly, but I have to state I don't believe Mr. Moore
has made a position specifically. Ne has asked me to attend these meetings for infor-
mation. I can only reiterate what Mr. Moore has said here publically, and that is he
bought the property understanding that for any planned commercial development that he
will construct on the property, he will provide sewer and water to that - he bought it
with that understanding. Mr. Moore further understands he may have to do that himself
for his own project, however, it's been the last year that he's been involved in the
property, he's been wanting to cooperate with the property owners in that area to do some-
thing that is fair and equitable along with those property owners, but specifically some-
thing in the best interest of the city - that, I think has been his position consistently.
I do knova when Per. Moore takes a posistion, whether it be Latecomers Ordinance, LID, or
Sewer District, he will support the position himself personally."
Orton stated, "I would like to see the city endorse the concept and give them whatever
cheerleading or back vatting they need to get it done because the ball is still in your
court. I'd go a step further, I'd support the latecomers concept also, I don't know
which could be worked out quicker with less problem, but I do think to the extent that
neither of those impair our financial situation, nor do I think we lose control. I believe
we should extend whatever we can extend alono that line."
Kingsford stated, "I would like to see us, not necessarily support it at this point, but
research it through our staff, city attorney, engineer, AIC, and so forth. I would like
to know if there are more drawbacks."
Williams stated, "We are at a situation of approximately 8,000 population, which means we
are almost one-third capacity of our existing facility. N!e have substanial undeveloped
area that's annexed which may entail another population equivalent of eight to ten thousand
people. If that's the case with the existing city boundaries, we may well be close to
capacity to that sewage treatment facility, which has got to last us another twenty years.
Without any way at this point to fund expansion of it because EPA has said no way if we
use this just to promote growth. And that assumes that no industry is going to come into
town - that's with residential population which these areas all encompass now. If we
have a sewer district that forms in the south area, all of a sudden, of an undetermined
size which may go to Eagle Rd, or may go to Victory Rd, we may find ourselves, when a
viable industry does come into Meridian and says we've got land at Franklin and Linder
right on the track - we're going to say we don't have the capacity and you'll have to go
to Nampa or Boise. I think before we get any expansions at this point of time, we better
have a good idea where we stand, because I have a feeling with the annexed land we're
borderline in letting anyone else in, let alone a sewer district that may encompass 1,200
or more acres."
Kingsford stated, "It was my understanding we could limit this."
Williams stated, "Before we proceed, we had better take a very good inventory of what
we're using, what we are committed to, ifareas outside of that were encompassed. into the
district, I would be very hesitant - I support more the latecomers charge."
Orton stated, "I think. that knowing where we are at in terms how much we've obligated our
treatment plant is a good question - it has got to be read in numbers, whether we know
the capacity or not, we should know where we're at. But on the issue of rebuilding or
expanding the plant, there is no statutory requirement when we do that, we can do that
next year if we can find the money - there's financial limitations. If next year there
were 21,000 people hooked up to our sewer system, our revenues would be instead of
X385,000, about a million dollars - six years and we would have some money to do some
financing with. I think that's the whole philosophy behind our user charge system at
this time. I have every faith it will work if inflation doesn't gobble us up. Second
point Dick, the 21,000 capacity does consider a mix of residential and commercial."
Williams stated, "Right, it was, but it still is equivalency basis"
Orton stated, "Yes, it's true."
Pleridian City Hall .6. Auqust 18 1980
Jim Potter stated, "I think it's important to know that the people out here have
recognized that there is a certain capacity allowable to that area and they have
evidenced their desire in this intentional contract between this hypothetical sewer
district and the city. We even allow fora clause that once the city engineer and our
engineer have the opportunity to sit down and to reduce the residential equivalencies
to treatment perimeters, that the people of the district were formed would be agreeable
to a clause which said that the district would be limited to those perimeters unless the
district were able to fund proper expansion to the city plant. Again, limits the boundary,
it limits what goes on out there, not only in size, but in type. Thank you."
Mayor Glaisyer stated, "I might add, that from my own standpoint, and I think I speak
for the Council, that something does come up that it's a progressive and not quote
"hearsay" that this Council might be a little more lenient and more progressive in
trying to work something out. I have been here for three years and all I hear is I'm
here to help the city and if something does come up and somebody is actually going to
take the property over and develop into a complex that's going to be beneficial to the
city, then I think you would see a substantial change - we have not seen that. lde have
been waiting for Ptar-Mon fora year and a half."
Potter stated, "P~1ayor, unfortunately I can't address that because I'm working for a
number of people out there."
t4ayor Glaisyer stated, "Well, Kddaks going to be here, Texas Instruments - when something
becomes concrete, you will see the Council be more progressive."
Orton stated, "Joe maybe you weren't speaking for the whole Council on that issue because
there are properties all over this town that has suffered in this recession and some for
considerably more than three years - Crestwood,Nahas, Cherry Lane Village."
The mayor called for more comments. There were none.
The bills were read.

Mrs. Jean Czechowski, 1424 W. 1st St.
Williams stated this rental unit has been vacant about a year now, water and sewer is
being used to keep the lawn green. They have not been putting any trash out. Letter
is on file with these minutes directed to Williams from Mrs. Czechowski.
There was much discussion concerning the city ordinance of mandatory trash pick up.
Mrs. Czechowski's status was discussed.
It was the feeling of the Council as a matter of policy to not change, as the determin-
ation of garbage charge was made by economy scale, administration, control of policies.
Meridian Citv Hall .9. August 18, 1980
Czechowski stated this was very unjust in her case and another burden. She wanted
her water service left on for yard care, but there is never any trash pick up.
This house has been empty since August, 1979, but was not charged trash service until
June, 1980 upon adoption of Sanitary Service policy.
There was much discussion and dsagreerhent.
The P1otion was made by Kingsford and seconded by Brewer that the Board of Adjusters
review the request of P4rs. Jean Czechowski, 1424 ld. 1st St, for trash charge exemption.
Motion Carried: Kingsford, yea; Brewer, yea; Orton, yea; Williams, nay.
Agenda

There were no other objections to allow early construction of the three lots in Meridian
Park Subdivision.

but claims an unfinished space of 264, which would total the 1,350 sq. ft. policy - and
someone with 800 sq. ft. of floor space, maybe a thousand, but the balance in unfinished
basement.
Mayor stated this is not allowed and is not the intent.

11 Tom McCartney, 1516 Elm Place spoke concerning undrinkable water. PcCartney questioned
the results of a water sample taken and how much longer he would have to haul water to

contract and will notify McCartney.

the condition that all cost during that extention be ACHD responsibility.

center. He suggested the possibility of old sewer plant land - or to liquidate the
land and use the funds to help.

the city would hold this land. That land is not utilized now.
