Mayor Glaisyer; "This is a special City Council meeting to consider the agreement by
Quong-4Jatkins Properties and also an agreement with. Boise State University. First we will
contend with the "Developers Agreement" by Quong-Watkins ~ our City Attorney will not be
present today, he is i'n court and it is his recommendation that the Council accent in
short form the proposal that was presented to you." "Not the long form..Wayne has no
problem with the short form." "Questions from the Council?"
Orton: "It does take into account the language we talked about last Friday - and Wayne
didn't have any further comments after that?"
Mayor: "He has agreed with this"
Brewer: "Mr. Mayor, I make. the F1otion that we approve the Agreement of Developer's Intent
between Quong-Watkins Properties and the City of Meridian"
Orton: "Second"
Mayor: "The F1otion has been made and seconded to approve the Agreement of Developer's
Intent by Quong-4Jatkins Properties Inc." "All those in favor?~~
f+4i-Ll i ams Abs to i r~
yea; ingsford, yea; Brewer, yea; Orton, yea
Mayor: "Opposed?" No response "Motion Carries"
Ftayor: "The next item on the agenda is the agreement with the Idaho State Board of
Education, Boise State University. The agreement specifically states that the City
will deed over the property with the condition that the property not used for education
purposes, that the title will revert back to the City of Meridian." "The State will
build a classroom, which also can be used by the City. They will fence and landscape it
and water will only pass through the facility, The City will have ingress and egress
to the property." "P.ttorney Crookston has drafted an agreement, Dick and Rick have met
with the architects and revised the site plan to change the building location"
Kingsford: "Does it give any kind of specifications in regard to landscaping, both the
back section and their basic agreement on doing the City park?"
Williams: "Not specifically at this time, but I think they havebeen very cooperative
in the past. I personally, with Jim Felton and the people there, have no doubt that they will
live up and probably exceed what they originally told us."
Kingsford: "I don`t think this will be a problem either but there has been a couple of
other places that seemed like that they had good intentions - I would almost like to
have that in writing."
Williams: "They will give us in writing, the class that they have in this program starting
the 19th, and all the people that teach it have said verbally that they will do it.
I guess we can get a letter of agreement between them." "If we sign this agreement today
I will deliver that over to the people this afternoon and make mention to that fact and
ask fora letter agreement."
Brewer: "Has it not been the contention from the beginning that it would be up to
the City to support the park project, as far as financially?"
Williams: "The materials" "They will furnish us design review - they have to, the EPA
Grant wont allow them to do otherwise."
Orton: "It was hard, from the sheet they brought in earlier, to make a distinction
between what they would do in the initial construction or what they wouldn't do. In
talking to the architect, I asked him in his subsequent plans to make a better delineation,
perhaps just leave the stuff that they wouldn`t do off."
Williams: "The reason for this agreement now, if we could, is that there is going to
be a meeting with the State Board of Education tomorrow.. I do agree to not sign the
warranty deed until the State Board of Education accepts the agreement."
