did with the fire at Storey's Feed and Seed". "It was a fire that we wish we had
never had but it was beneficial with the response that they had and the type of job
they carried out. I know the other fire departments, that are manned full time,
were extremely satisfied with our performance. So - to you Roger (!•Ielker), to Skip
(Voss) and to all the Meridian Volunteer Firemen, I extend great words of commendation.
It is a credit to the community to have you."
Fire thief Welker: "Thank you, we appreciate this."
P~iayor Glaisyer: "I would also like to extend gratitude and thanks to the Meridian
Chamber of Commerce, especially Terry Smith who was the Chairman for the Eagle Road
Interchange on the Transportation Department Committee of the Chamber. Terry did an
outstanding job - he was fully dedicated to this cause and I think the representation
that the Chamber had at the two public hearings is, again, a credit to our community.
Bill (Brewer, would you please convey these words to your Chamber and to Terry Smith?"
Councilman Brewer: "Thank you, Mayor Joe."
Agenda p•1eridian Family Practice Clinic
1
Dr. Jud Miller was present to make known that the Family Practice Clinic was coning
to Meridian. Ur. Miller stated that they are affiliated with the University of
Washington and St. Alphonsus Hospital. They are a family practice training program
where family doctors, M.D.'s coming out of medical school, come to this program for
three years and receive extra training in the area that family doctors need to
know about - such as internal medicine, pediatrics; obstetrics, etc. They differ
from a general practioner in such that a general practioner out of medical school
goes through a year of internship and goes into practice. They go two years beyond
that in this special training. They are fully licensed to practice in the State of
Idaho and until recently have been largely funded by the State - but now the bull: of
their funds come from St. Alphonsus Hospital, and small portion from St. Lukes Hospital.
There are to be six residents in each year of training - the first year residents
the first ones out of medical school. The Meridian Clinic will be almost completely
staffed by the third year residents. The purpose is to gain more experience in a
small ccr°,; :unity medicine. Their address is 925 East First Street and will be receiving
pa tie:rr~~s the following week. Dr. Miller announced there would be open house
3:00 P. hl. to 8:00 P. M. Friday,h1arch 5th."
flayor Glaisyer thanked Dr. Miller for attending and wished the Clinic the best of luck.

Agenda 1{EARIhdG - Water/Sewer/Trash Delinquencies
4
Mayor Glaisyer read the TURN OFF PJOTICE to the public: "This is to inform you in
writing, if you choose to, you have the right to a pre-termination hearing, at 7:30 p.m
March 1st before the Mayor and Council, to appear in person to be judged on facts and
defend the claim made by the city that your water, sewer and trash bill is
delinquent. You may retain counsel. This service will be discontinued Thurs. 4th, 1982
unless payment is received in full."
Mayor Glaisyer: "Is there anyone here tonight that wishes to appear regarding your
water, sewer and trash bill?"
Steve Minnis, 730 West Broadway: "The reason I have chosen to appear rather than
pay this bill, is because I have tried to go through the proper channels. I think
there has been an error with my bill. I live in a condominium complex at the end of
Broadway - used to be an apartment complex and has been converted. I assume when it
was converted the water was individually metered. My bill was fairly consistent
throughout the first two years I lived there and through circumstances of employment
I have moved to northern Idaho for approximately a year and a half. I still own the
house and was locked up unoccupied. There was a 90,000 gallon error that was due to
some leakage - I guess that was corrected. Since then there has been problems of
sedimentation, I've come here - I've called and I was told to take care of that on
my own. There has been an odor problem off and on, sulfur - onions - I don't know
what really it is - it's been a continual problem. Ply bill has increased from 33.00
per month for the water to $22.00 per month. 11.15.81 the bill was $71.00 - I came
down and paid $30.00 toward that because that was in my average water bill and at
that time I asked if a possibility of an error could be investigated - I don't know
if that $30.00 was even credited to my bill because the next month it was $90.00 -
I am here to find out what I can do."
Councilman Orton: "It sounds like most of this is water related problem. Bruce,
were you request to look at this meter?"
Public Work"s Supt Bruce Stuart: "Off the top of my head - I don't remember."
Minnis: "I was told to contact that water Department and handle it myself."
Orton: "Did you contact Bruce?"
h1innis: "No, I didn't because I felt I was payiny the City Clerk - I didn't feel
that I should have to contact the water department - I didn't feel that was my
responsibility."
Councilman Orton: "I believe we should probably hold this bill in obeisance until
Bruce can check the meter. There are procedures we can go through as a matter of
course. Check the meter and then we can also see what cash is recorded - and sir,
if your meter is leaking, your internal works leaking - our authority and
I Meridi
.3.
(Agenda 4 (Cont'd) Water/Sewer/Trash Delinquencies ................
responsibility does stop at the meter. We will probably be able to tell you if it
is leaking as those are some of the tests that Bruce can run. If it was leaking
beyond the meter it wouldn't show on your bill." A meeting was set for the next
day and Orton asked that this particular bill be held back until further investigation
Mayor Glaisyer: "Is there anyone else in the audience tYiat wishes to contest their
water sewer and trash billing?" There was no response.
Mayor Glaisyer: "Due to their failure to pay their water bill or to present any valid
reason why the bill has not been paid, their water shall be turned off on March 4th,
1982. In order to have their water turned back on, there will be an additional fee
of $10.00. They are hereby informed that they may apoeal or have the decision of
the City reviewed by ghe Fourth Judicial District Court, pursuant to Idaho Code.
Even though they appeal, the water will be shut off."

WdS not signed. The low bid was submitted by Nays Construction of Nampa for the

Public Work's and he is a "Triple A" contractor. J-U-B Engineers Inc. has had
experience with the gentlemen who will act as his superintendent on this job on
several other jobs, and he has reported that Nay's has done a very good job on the
work he has done. I spoke with PJays and he has indicated if he was awarded the contract
tonight it would be the first of next week that he would be starting on the project.
It would take him that long to get his performance and payment bonds back to the City.
City Engineer Smith read the following bids to the public:
1. Nay's Construction Co. - Yampa $25,555.00
2. Rogers Plubing - fJampa 32,737.00

Agenda Cecil Cherry and Son - Inout
7
Kim Cherry spoke in behalf of Cecil Cherry and Sons for consideration of making
some changes in their office building located at 309 Cherry Lane. Cherry stated
they are zoned Residential with a Conditional Use-Limited Office and wish to propose
putting a coin operated laundry service in this building. Basically they are
suggesting a small operation but a very good one. Cherry stated he was aware of the
Meridian Citv Hall
Agenda 7 (Cont'd) Cherry 9 Sons ..............
required changes and additional service charges and would work closely with the
City Departments. Cherry questioned the feeling of the Council.
Councilman Brewer felt it may tend to take away from the professional attitude of
the complex .and then complimented the Cherry's on the job they had done completiny
their building. He felt it may be more up to the tennants than the Council.
Kim Cherry stated they had researched several and had seen many examples where it
could be negative if not handled right but they are aware of these problems and will
be maintaining this themselves. They could always convert back and their hope is to
still develop the remainder of that property. They have a need. to put this building
on a self-sustaining level. They felt if the Washteria was put in and properly
maintained, this would be a successful location being near to the mobile home parks.
Councilman Kingsford expressed concern that it might distract from the atmosphere of
the complex since this does not have any retail area surrounding it.
Cherry stated they had a need to utilize the building and felt the outcome would be
good and clean - and be aself-supporting situation.
Councilman Brewer recommended that Cherry and Sons go before the Meridian Planning
and Zoning and work out the details and that the Council receive their recommendation.
He stated that the Cluncil has been trying very hard to work with these people.
Councilman Kingsford stated that he would prefer that this area remain as a Limited
Office and should require a Conditional Use Permit rather than be zoned to allow it.
Cherry stated that they prefer to have a Conditional Permit so that the area would
be maintained with control and protection in that area.
There was discussion concerning the lease agreements, transition back to office space.
Tape on file.
Kim Cherry stated that they would be talking to Planning and Zoning and thanked
the Council.
