Den Hartog: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. I am before you this
evening at the initial stages of planning for our Community Development Block Grant for
the -- oh, excuse me -- the 2012 annual action plan. I see I have it wrong on the first
slide there. What I am presenting this evening is a summary of the applications that
were submitted and the applications that were scored by our committee as they
reviewed them, so this evening I would like to present those recommendations and look
for feedback from you in terms of the amounts that committee has recommended and,
then, I would be coming back to you in June with the draft of our action plan. Our
Meridian City Council
May 16, 2012
Page 4 of 17
estimated entitlement amount for this coming year is 256,727 dollars. As you know, our
public services are capped at 15 percent of the allocation, which is 38,500.
Administration is capped at 20 percent. However, this year staff is recommending an
allocation of 18 percent for our administration. Looking back over our actual
expenditures for the last several years we haven't been using the full 20 percent, so I
think it's reasonable to assume that we will have plenty with that 46,000 for
administration. So, eligible projects were invited to submit a full application after we
hosted a workshop this past spring. Projects were ranked and scored by our internal
CDBG scoring committee. They were scored on the goals and outcomes of the project,
the need the project addressed and how the organization plans to carry out the project,
the capacity of the organization and how the project did or did not meet the goals and
objectives of the city's consolidated plan. Just a brief summary. As you know, we have
been working on our updated consolidated plan, so the three strategies that we took
into account when scoring these applications were -- one was affordable housing to
improve access to housing opportunities for Meridian residents. The second was to
support services and programs and projects for the city's low to moderate income
residents, including persons with special needs and residents at risk of homelessness.
And the third was economic opportunities -- to improve economic opportunities in the
city's low to moderate income areas. So, for the public service applications we had two
projects that submitted that qualify under that criteria. The two applications submitted
their total funding request of just over 78,000. As I mentioned previously, we have
available for that category just over 38,000. So, we recommended partial funding for
both applications. The first was the Meridian Food Bank for hunger relief. They use the
funds to purchase food that is, then, given to families in need in our community. We
have recommended 26,500 in funding, which is about 2,000 more than we funded for
the Food Bank last year. The second one is a new application and this was submitted
by Open Lines Training, which is a local business here in downtown Meridian. They
submitted for a senior job training and placement program. What they are looking to do
is partner with the Meridian Senior Center and provide job refresher and job training
opportunities for our seniors and help place them -- they are hoping in businesses in
Meridian, but they could be -- it could be jobs throughout the valley, but their program
would only be for seniors who are residents of Meridian, so it would benefit members of
our community. So, this is a new one. We haven't done a job training program before,
so this is something a little bit different. We are excited about the possibility of how this
could work out. So, we are recommending 20,000 in funding for that project. The
second set of applications qualified under nonpublic services -- under the nonpublic
service category, we have four applications submitted for a total funding request of
300,000. We have available, after we take out public service administration, 172,000
dollars available for that. The scoring committee recommended funding three of the
applications at varying funding levels. The first two are ones that are familiar to you, the
down payment assistance programs through both Neighborhood Housing Services and
Ada County Housing Authority. We have recommended the same amount of funding for
both of those organizations. As you know, both of those organizations use the funds for
qualified low to moderate income residents who are looking to purchase a home in
Meridian. The homes can be purchased anywhere throughout the city and it can be
someone moving into the area, but the homes are within the city, but it can be anywhere
Meridian City Council
May 16, 2012
Page 5 of 17
within the city. The second -- or, excuse me, the third application -- I will skip down to
the fourth one first. The third one that we recommended for funding was submitted by
our Parks and Recreation Department. They submitted for an A.D.A. accessible
restroom in 8th Street Park. It's our only park facility that does not have a restroom and
the Parks Department has said they believe that the usage is down in that park because
there are no restroom facilities. You may be familiar over the last couple years we used
some of our stimulus funds to do a pathway connection to that park across -- I believe it
was Five Mile Creek -- across Five Mile Creek. So, there is connections to that park, so
they think the restroom facility would be an enhancement to that -- to that park. And the
Parks Department has stated it's come up as a priority for them, but it's not in their
capital improvement plan for the next ten year horizon. So, that project was 130,000 for
design and construction. The last application that fell under this nonpublic service
category was submitted by our urban renewal agency by the Meridian Development
Corporation for the construction of the historic lighting along phase two of the Meridian
Road split corridor. They submitted a funding request of 100,00 dollars. The total
project cost looks like it will be about 450,000. This one the scoring committee was very
supportive of the application, but there is some complicating factors and I'll explain that.
We had -- we have funded the design through our grant for this project, so it's really
important that we see this project constructed and completed. As you know we can't --
we don't get credit through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for
expenditures of those funds until the project is constructed and completed. However,
for cost saving purposes, MDC is looking at having the lighting bid with the entire
roadway project. If that happens and if we funded a portion of that lighting project with
the grant, the requirements to Davis Bacon wages opens up to the entire roadway
project, which would be astronomical. Usually you assume a 20 to 30 percent increase
in your wage costs and when we found that out we were so disappointed. We thought
we could look at just the lighting component of it. We knew that we were going to have
to pay Davis Bacon if we paid a portion of the lighting project with the grant funds, but
when we found that it would be -- it would open up the entire roadway project and no
other federal dollars are being used for this project, we think we would lose the cost
savings from having it bid with the roadway project, in addition to increasing it for ACRD
and all other things. So, we support the project, we want to see the project completed,
but we don't believe the grant funds are an appropriate use at this time. So, we were
really disappointed to find that out. We talked with MDC last week and we talked with
the project manager at ACRD and he confirmed that they have no other federal dollars.
So, by throwing -- if we contributed any amount to the lighting project it would -- it really
just throws a wrench into everything. So, we really -- as much as we supported the
project, that's the reasons why we didn't recommend funding it for this year. And with
that I will stand for any questions. And I'm open to -- you know, if you have other ideas
about the funding amounts or questions about the project, I'm happy to answer any
questions that you may have.
De Weerd: Thank you. Council, any questions?
Hoaglun: Madam Mayor?
Meridian City Council
May 16, 2012

De Weerd: Mr. Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: Lori, if we can go back to the one slide on the senior training.
Den Hartog: Yes.
Hoaglun: Can you refresh my memory -- I know you have gone over it before, but, you
know, this is a new applicant and they -- you know, recommending 12,000 dollars if we
do that. There is a process that you will go back later on to make sure that funds were
spent appropriately. Can you kind of go through that again for me?
Den Hartog: So, with this application they had originally submitted a request for 40,000
dollars, as you can see. They had estimated a goal of placing five to ten seniors a
month for the year for the amount. So, we are looking at about a quarter of that for the
amount that we are spending here. What we do is -- this company will have to -- more
than likely it would be one or two staff that will be involved with this particular project.
They will have to track their time and submit that to the city, so they will have their
expenses and, then, submit for reimbursement. We review all of those expenses and
all of their tracking and we are going to be looking for what types of goals they are able
to reach, if they are able to place the seniors. So, one of the things our committee was
really interested in seeing was actual results and how many seniors that there are able
to place and that was one of the reasons we did substantially less than what they had
requested. We thought we could give it a try and I talked with Becky McKinstry, she's
the owner of Open Lines Training who had submitted the application, and talked with
her about, you know, can you still accomplish some things with this amount, you know,
with this funding level and she thought that that was possible. She said they might
restructure it a little bit to do possibly some more group trainings, as opposed to one on
one's that they might have done had the funding been at a higher level. So, we are
interested in seeing what they can get done for this amount and that will be something
that I'll report back to Council on at the end of the year and see what that looks like and
anytime they submit for reimbursement we will be looking for those -- for those targets
at that time. So, it will be typically on a monthly basis.
Hoaglun: Okay. Great. Thank you, Lori.
De Weerd: Any other questions from Council?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Having no further questions, Council, this is just apre-draft --
Den Hartog: Yes. There is no motion needed and I will take your comments or
thoughts if you have them, but, otherwise, I will be back in June with something -- with
the action plan that has this information in it as well.
De Weerd: For public comment --
Meridian City Council
May 16, 2012
Page 7 of 17
Den Hartog: Yes. And that will open the public comment period.
Zaremba: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: I would say go forward the direction you're already going. That sounds right
to me.
Den Hartog: Okay.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you, Lori.
Den Hartog: All right. Thank you.
B. Public Works: Water Master Plan and Water Conservation Plan
Adoption
De Weerd: Okay. Item 7-B is under our Public Works Department, so I will turn this
over to Kyle.
Radek: Madam Mayor, Council Members, tonight the engineering division of the Public
Works Department brings the water master plan and conservation plan before you for
either adoption or if you prefer to table the adoption, we can -- we can wait another
couple weeks if you haven't had enough chance to look at the water master I believe we
provided to you about -- with executive summary about three weeks ago and gave you
a link to the main document. In any case, I'm going to have our consultant from Murray
Smith and Associates David Stangel, who is the project manager for the water master
plan. I'm going to have him give you a presentation and, then, we will stand for
questions and just from my perspective when I first joined the city in 2006 we were just
completing our last water master plan and Dave Spangle was also project manager on
that from a different company at the time. Just a few things that are markedly different
about this master plan from the one that was finished in 2006. The development of an
entirely new water model was done with this master plan. Up until this spring we had
been operating on a -- on a platform we liked to call Gradynet and you may recognize
that name. It worked very well. Len Grady actually developed that -- the database that
runs that water model by himself. Phenomenal. But when -- when things break there is
no Gradynet, Incorporated, to call. So, we had MSA develop a new water model for us
in InfoWater, which is supported by MWH. We did an operations and maintenance
review this time, we did a financial review, we looked at population and demand
projections beyond DEQ requirements and, of course, as you know the development of
a water conservation plan in parallel was also included and we have presented that to
you a couple times. So, with that I'm going to let David come up and give you a briefing
on the master plan, what it was about and what it entails, then, I will come back up and
we will stand for some questions.
Meridian City Council

Stangel: Thanks, Kyle. Madam Mayor, Council Members, thank you for the opportunity
to come and present this tonight. As Kyle mentioned, this is actually the third water
master plan I have worked on for the City of Meridian, so -- the second one with Kyle.
And I have to say I really enjoy working with the city Public Works staff, and in particular
Kyle. He's a --
De Weerd: He's kind of entertaining, isn't he?
Stangel: He's a good guy and he's one of these people that tells it just like it is and I
really appreciate that as a consultant. So, I appreciate that. I also understand there is
some incentive for me to wrap things up relatively quickly tonight, so I am open to
questions, but -- so interrupt me as things go on, but I will try to be relatively quick in this
outline. So, we have about 20 slides to go through. So, from an outline standpoint we
have our master plan sections we will go over briefly. Kyle mentioned several of those
already. We will have the summary to go through. Kyle will come back up and talk a
little bit about the master -- or the -- excuse me -- the conservation plan adoption and,
then, we will open it up to any general questions. But don't let that stop you from asking
now. So, plan sections, description system, obviously, is some of the basic contexts.
Population demand. Forecasting obviously very important. Kyle alluded to we did
some water supply planning, a little bit more comprehensive this time than we had in the
past. We looked beyond 20 years. We did a systems analysis, which really focuses on
using that hydraulic model to identify hydraulic deficiencies in the system. We looked at
water quality and the associated regulations that the city needs to meet. We looked at
operations and maintenance, ultimately developing a capital improvement plan and also
completing a financial review of that -- of the finances compared to the capital
improvement plan. So, the existing system -- this is, obviously, no news to most of you.
Four current pressure zones, five -- a sixth one planned here in the near future. The
city has over 400 miles of pipe. About 20 wells currently in operation, 4,400 hydrants,
so a pretty large system. Most of the -- most of the piping is eight and 12 inch. As you
can see it's a nice grid which provides the city a lot of flexibility in terms of being able to
move water in a lot of directions and that's great from -- particularly from a redundancy
and emergency firefighting perspective. So, population projections. So, we used
COMPASS information for this and this is a community planning association here that
focuses on southwest Idaho. And what they do is they break up these projections on
traffic analysis and these are kind of smaller polygons, then, that allow us to look at
certain areas and identify how much growth is projected there over the next 20 years
and beyond. So, for zero to 20 years we wanted to look at an area-by-area projection in
terms of how much growth is going to occur in certain parts of the system, so, then, we
could apply that growth rate directly to the hydraulic model and analyze things from a
much more specific perspective. Beyond 20 years we are more interested in a long-
term supply standpoint, how much water could the city need in 50 years say and so
looking at it from an overall perspective. As Kyle mentioned, DEQ only requires a 20
year evaluation of the system, with a lot of emphasis put on the next five years in terms
of what capital improvements is the city going to be making. The service area
projections. This is always a challenging one in that you have to identify what your
Meridian City Council
May 16, 2012
Page 9 of 17
service area is going to be, so that COMPASS will provide growth for, you know, these
sub areas within the system, but you have to tell it where can we serve and so what we
see here in red is, basically, the city's existing service area. What we see in green,
then, is what we -- we sat down with the planning group at the city and said where do
we anticipate growing over the next ten years and so you see the green boundary there
kind of expands from where the red -- red is and grows out there. But there is no -- you
know, this is one of those soft science areas in terms of a little bit of art and a little bit of
science in terms where these are going to grow. No one exactly has the crystal ball
dialed in. 2030, then, with the blue boundary and, then, out to the ultimate impact area
there that you see the ultimate extent of the system. So, what does this mean in terms
of population? So, right now the city has a service population somewhere between 65
and 70 thousand. Now, why that isn't exact is because there are people within the city
who don't use city water and so there is -- there is some variation in that. Based on the
COMPASS projections by 2020 the city could see as many as 100,000 plus people,
once again, depending on what growth rates do. 2030, maybe 140. By build out -- and
this number was the interesting one -- if everybody within the city's impact area used
city water and it developed to the ultimate density that is applied to the land use
planning, you could see upwards of 300,000 people, which -- you know, that's a big
number and associated with that, of course, then, there is big water usage
requirements. So, historic water use. So, this provides some graphic basically between
2000 and 2010 and what you see there with the blue dots is population growth and so
no surprise big increase up until about 2007 when things kind of flatten off. What we
see with the red dots, then, is average day demands, from an average yearly
perspective how much water is being used and so you see that kind of peaking in 2007
and flattening off, then, after that. Now, the critical number from a supply standpoint is
max day demand. That's what the city has to be able to supply from their wells and so
that's the number to focus on. So, if you look at that, that, once again, that kind of
peaked up in about 2007 and then -- and, then, trailed off a little bit from that at about 20
million gallons a day. So, that's in context. So, the other interesting part, then, is
looking at per capita water use. How much water is used by each individual person in
the city. So, once again, the same time frame we are looking at here, same blue dots
describing the population curve. Now, what we see, though, in the red is decreasing
per capita water use over that period. So, substantial amount. So, in 1998 or 2000, you
know, you're up above 200 gallons per capita per day. In 2010 you're down in the 130
range. Now, what's that attributed to? A lot of it's attributed to new development being
required to use non-potable irrigation. So, new customers come on board, they use the
canal water to water their lawn and things during the summer. The other thing I think
we would attribute is just people's awareness and conservation and also the economic
impact of paying their bills every month. So, watching that. So, the question is, though,
how far down does that per capita water usage go? Can it go much lower than it is now
or -- there is some diminishing return once the vast majority of the city's residents get on
non-potable irrigation. So, that becomes a question of what do we use for projection
purposes for that per capita number. So, from a master planning standpoint we want to
be relatively conservative and here we have a map of where we have identified where
people have non-potable irrigation options and that you see that area in green. Now,
where we have got potable irrigation or a cluster of customers that don't, what you see
Meridian City Council
May 16, 2012
Page 10 of 17
there in blue, which is not surprising, kind of some of the older parts of town and those
types of things. But it was an interesting graphic and before this master plan the city
really hadn't had a tool to identify that, because that doesn't show up on water bills or
anything else. What we did is we took the water usage record and identify huge
discrepancies, then, between winter water use and summer water use and where you
saw a big difference, then, you assume that -- you know, that you have potable or non-
potable irrigation. So, some interesting information there. One of the other things we
did look at in association with this was what would the water savings to the city be if you
spent the money to convert those customers to non-potable and it ends up being very
expensive to retrofit non-potable irrigation systems, but it was an interesting evaluation.
So, the system wide average we had 130 gallons per capita per day. Areas using
potable irrigation averaged 215 gallons per day, those on city water to irrigate their
lawn, and those with non-potable average 110. So, what we wanted to do from a
master planning standpoint was be relatively conservative and use the 130 for
projecting forward. Say we are not going to drop any more than that. Now, the city has
updated their plans every five years and so, once again, we have the ability, then, to
ratchet that down to see the trend. So, then, this is a summary coming back to the
earlier population projections and associating that, then, with water usage and so as we
discussed right now we are in the 20 to 25 range from a max day perspective. You can
see as you get towards 2030 or 2060 large amount of additional water required. Once
again it may not be this much if the per capita numbers keep coming down, but,
regardless, it's a lot of water in the future. So, water supply plans, as Kyle mentioned,
one of the things we wanted to do was take a little bit of a bigger step back and look at
this from a bigger picture standpoint. One of the things the city has been doing
historically is, basically, serving peak hour demand or their maximum instantaneous
demand from their wells. That means that the maximum demand ever occurring with
the system, they can turn a well on and supply that. Most systems do not do that. Most
systems provide max day demand and serve that differential from reservoirs. And so
right now the city has the flexibility to do it. In the future what the implication is there is
a lot more wells required and so the city would like to move towards a serving max day
demand from wells serving that differential from reservoirs into the future, that will
ultimately save money and get at some water supply water rights issues that we will talk
about as well. Bottom line right now, though, the city's well positioned to meet future
demands both from a water right standpoint, as well as a pumping capacity standpoint.
The city has over 50 million gallons a day of pumping capacity, so a max day there at
about 25. So, that's great. The city is continuing to actually evaluate long term water
supply options and the city was involved with the Treasure Valley Camp, which was,
you know, an initial effort to try to get everybody to come together and talk about what
can we do to insure everyone has enough water in the future. I think that was a good
first step. Hopefully we get some concrete movement out of that. So, system analysis
-- Kyle mentioned we updated and calibrated the hydraulic models as part of this. What
we do with that model is we basically use it to evaluate the hydraulics under existing
and future conditions, make sure that we can provide fire flows and make sure that
everyone has adequate pressures under peak demand conditions. From a result
standpoint, the system is adequately sized, lots of capacities, no significant issues
there, just very localized fire flow issues where we have larger fire flow requirements.

One of the things the city is starting now is a long term main replacement program. So,
one of the things we have identified as part of this was making sure that some of the
undersized piping that was installed early in the city's history gets identified early for
replacement. From a water quality standpoint the city is in great shape there as well.
You do have isolated issues of uranium and as Kyle informed you or talked more about
last Council meeting, there are higher iron and manganese in some of the well, causing
some brown water issues. Not a health concern, but an esthetic issue. The uranium
issues have been mitigated by drilling -- drilling wells to different aquifers -- basically
tapping into cleaner water sources at different depths. And where that hasn't been
mitigated yet, basically using those wells under emergency conditions only. Fire flow
and things like that. The iron and manganese issues are being addressed as you heard
about last week. Operation maintenance. The city meets all operation certifications.
There really are no reoccurring O and M issues the city's dealing with. The city -- a
major project that they are working on is implementation of a new maintenance
management system, which will be integrated with GIS, which also can then be
integrated with the hydraulic model. Basically bring all those data sources together to be
on a common platform, which is really a good thing. There are planned upgrades in the
city's customer metering system as well in the next couple of years. The one thing that
came out in the O and M evaluation was really just an emphasis on documentation.
The city's doing all the right things. However, they would like to have some more formal
documentation on some of those procedures. So, what comes out of this? Ultimately
it's that capital improvement plan. And so what you end up with from a basic
perspective is you end up with a table with information and a corresponding map and
this is an excerpt, then, from the master plan focused on some of the facilities and you
can see here the top two are focused on PRV improvements to zone one. We have an
inner tie with a reservoir and booster station that you're aware of. Some wells that will
occur over the next 20 years and some treatment. If you zoom in a little bit, then, what
you end up seeing are specific projects called out. Specific feet of pipe and what that
diameter of pipe needs to be. So, here you see red piping that's been identified for the
next five years. You see some purple and blue piping that's been identified for
replacement over the longer and the city will be able to, then, start prioritizing that as
they get into their long term pipeline replacement program. So, the capital improvement
plan from a summary standpoint is about 11 million dollars worth of improvements
identified over the next ten years. Or five years. Excuse me. The major projects there
being the reservoir and booster station that the city has been evaluating. Treating the
iron and manganese and this small main replacement project or program that will be
basically putting dollars into replacement every year on an ongoing basis. Between
now and 2030, based on the current projection, you will need approximately three wells
to maintain the current buffer that the city has from a supply standpoint. One of the
major recommendations that came out of the planning effort and this I think comes back
a little bit to the -- the conversations that were had around the reservoir siting is acquire
well and reservoir sites now for future. Tie those up, making sure that everyone knows
when and where those are going to occur in the future, because you can't be far enough
ahead of -- of those issues. Long term. Ultimately the city has identified about 43
million dollars worth of pipe replacements. Now, that likely will not occur -- it will
probably be over 50 plus years. The other thing the city needs to identify really -- and
Meridian City Council
May 16, 2012
Page 12 of 17
this is something that doesn't -- you can't take it out of a textbook -- is what is a pipeline
life span in the City of Meridian. Is it seventy-five years? Is it a hundred years? Is it
more than a hundred years? And that varies a lot by the ..quality of your water and the
soil -- the crusivity of soils and things like that. So, as the city continues to replace
some of these undersized pipes they will be able to assess the condition of those mains
and start coming up with a more definitive long-term plan in terms of what -- what that
life span should be. So, as noted, financial review was conducted and this, basically,
looks at, you know, the city's rate and connection charges compared to what you need
to spend over the next five years at a minimum from a capital improvement standpoint.
Bottom line there is the city has adequate reserves to pay for those improvements and
maintain a positive fund balance. In fact, there will be no degradation of that fund
balance with the current improvements and rate structure in place. So, that's great
news. So, from a summary standpoint continue to be proactive. I mean that's just one
of those things that I really commend the City of Meridian on. I'm a lucky individual in
that I get to focus on a specific type of engineering. I do water master planning,
collection system planning, and that is it. And so I do this work all over the region and
have done over 75 of these type of projects in my career. The City of Meridian is in the
top two percent of those. You guys are doing a great job. You are proactive and
particularly right now to be in the financial position you are it's pretty amazing. So, I
commend you on that. So, continue to be proactive, both from a financial standpoint, as
well as looking at this pipe replacement program. That's something else that most
utilities are just talking about at this point, have not started implementing. That's really
important and good. The long term water supply planning is another one. I think that
we all can agree that 50 years from now water is going to be a much more precious and
costly commodity in the valley and the more we can do to make sure we are in front of
that the better. Kyle took the initiative in parallel with this planning effort to get the
conservation plan off the ground. First one they have done here. No other utility in the
states that I'm aware of really has one at this point and, once again, not required by
DEQ, so leading the charge there as well. You have done a great job updating your
planning document every five plus or minus years and this, you know, is really from a
number of perspectives important. Changing water quality both from a quantity and
quality standpoint. Changing regulations. And, then, changing populations growth is
probably the most important one for the City of Meridian in that you have seen some
wild swings in terms of population growth. And -- well, I guess kind of rechecking where
you're at every five years I think is critically important. That's my portion. Kyle is going
to come back up and -- sneak up on me -- and talk about the conservation plan real
quick.
Radek: Yeah. Just real briefly, Madam Mayor and Council Members, just kind of a
reminder of where we have been with the conservation plan. I believe you have taken a
look at it a couple times and it was about the end of December, beginning of January
where I said I think we are ready to go, but I'm going to bring this back when we get the
water master plan done and I will try to get them both adopted at the same time. Just a
brief recap. We had that working group -- the working group made some good
recommendations on -- on proposed conservation actions to take and there is not a lot
in there that says you have to go do this, you have to go spend this money now. You
Meridian City Council
May 16, 2012
Page 13 of 17
have to, you know, give away shower heads and give, you know, rebates for washing
machines and things like that. It's very conservative. It's very -- I guess the word I'm
looking for is incremental in order to try to get a conservation atmosphere in the city
established over the course of years. I do have one of my working group members
here. One of the faithful. I don't know if you remember Andy Roman from my last
presentation, but if I had to I could call him up here and he would have to say, you
know, great things about me, but you don't need -- you don't need to hear that again.
You probably don't need to hear that again. So, unless he's got some specific things to
say, he's probably just here to see what happens. But with that let's go to the next slide
and we will go ahead and wrap up and we would be happy to stand for any questions
you have general or about -- more specific about the master plan and conservation plan
and, as I said at the beginning, our hope is to get the plan adopted. Alternatively you
could choose to adopt one or the other or wait two weeks for both and I could bring it
back.
De Weerd: Thank you, Kyle. And thank you, David. Any questions for either?
Zaremba: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: It's wonderful to hear that we are in good shape and apparently going the
right direction. I really appreciate the work that's been done on this and the study.
have kind of an off-the-wall question that just occurred to me and things like that happen
once in awhile. I don't know whether this is legal or not, but if we have sufficient water
rights and the ability to produce it, would we be able to sell water to other outside
entities that are struggling and not doing as well as we are? I mean that's not part of the
plan now, but if we look far enough ahead is that legal or possible or --
Radek: Council Member Zaremba, Madam Mayor, I don't think that municipalities are
allowed to do that. I'm not sure.
Stangel: The challenge is your water rights are typically tied to a service area boundary
and so you run into some challenges once you go beyond that.
Zaremba: All right. Thank you.
De Weerd: Any other questions?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Kyle, on the -- on the wells --
De Weerd: Mr. Bird, will you pull your mike --
Meridian City Council
May 16, 2012
Page 14 of 17
Bird: Oh. I'm sorry. Kyle, on the wells we got 20 of them in service now. Do we have
any backups that are -- that are not online all the time in case one goes down or
something? Do we have any that are workable, but not online?
Radek: Councilman Bird, good question. That number 20, that includes, for example,
Well 23, which is considered an active well, but is in backup status.
Bird: Okay.
Radek: So, it's sitting there waiting for something bad to happen, so that it can turn on.
But we have not had to turn that well on in several years. Thankfully so, because if we
do we have to tell everybody that we, you know, put uranium into the system above the
NCL and we really don't want to tell them that.
Bird: And -- follow-up, Mayor, if I may. Reservoirs. I know we got a pond we are
looking at in one area. How many more reservoirs within the next is 20 years do you
think we will need to -- if our population continues as is?
Radek: Councilman Bird, I'm going to try to answer that and, then, I'm going to defer to
David, because I know this is something he specifically addressed and we have a need
for a reservoir that we are currently looking at and the analysis was done in the master
plan of how we meet our demands, reservoirs versus wells, and reservoirs and going
the all well scenario is still a possibility. It's not something we want to do because of the
cost. Ultimately I think it was I think 2030 we end up with a zone two issue if we don't
put some storage out there, see kind of size -- two million gallon type and in -- in my
mind I think the ultimate build out -- I think you're probably looking at something in
neighborhood of four to five reservoirs of the type that we have -- type and size that we
have seen. I'm not sure if that's in the ballpark you're thinking of, Dave.
Stangel: Yeah. Ultimately I think we could get away with one less than that. But it's
probably in that three to five range ultimately and, once again, we throw out some big
water usage numbers there and we will have to see how that actually develops over the
next 20 years. But, really, this initial reservoir required in the relatively near term -- and
that really gets you good about 20 years. So, in that 20 -- towards the end of that 20
years time frame you will need to be thinking about another one for sure. Once again,
that's all based on current projections, so we will see what happens.
Bird: Thank you.
De Weerd: Any other questions or comments? Well, thank you very much.
Radek: Madam Mayor and Councilmen, thank you for your time.

De Weerd: As Kyle did ask what you would like to do at this point, would you like to set
it out on a future agenda? Would you like to consider action this evening? What is your
desire?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: David, what do you -- are you guys ready to go forward? What do we need, a
resolution or an ordinance?
Rountree: Just adopt it.
Bird: Just adopt the plan.
Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, a resolution is a good tracking
mechanism. If you -- if it's important for Public Works to pass it tonight, we can bring a
resolution next week to simply ratify that or if it can wait a week we can put it on next
week with a resolution and that way there is a better tracking tool with it.
Bird: Madam Mayor, I -- I read the executive summary, but I haven't read all 46 pages
of the rest, but -- and I have no problem with the executive summary. I think it's
something that we do need you to adopt in a resolution so that we do have a way of
tracking it or future councils.
Hoaglun: And, Madam Mayor, wouldn't we also need the conservation plan as well?
Bird: Yeah.
Hoaglun: And probably do it at the same time, if that works.
De Weerd: Okay. So, we will set this to the next agenda on the 22nd. Can everything
be put together by then?
Nary: Yes.
De Weerd: Okay. Very good.
Rountree: And that's for a resolution?
Nary: Yes.
Rountree: Okay.
Zaremba: And, Madam Mayor, I was just going to add, I've had the opportunity to have
some further discussions on these topics as well and I think it's ready to go and as has
Meridian City Council

been stated it's something that's going to be relooked at every once in awhile as it
develops and the world changes, so I think this is an excellent direction to go and formal
adoption next week would be a good thing.
De Weerd: So, staff, any further comment from Council needed?
Radek: Madam Mayor, thank you.

1. Introduction
In preparation for the City's Program Year 2012 (PY2012) Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) Annual Action Plan (AP), the City needs to prioritize submitted applications for project funding.
The City has been notified by HUD that our anticipated funding for PY2012 is $256,727. Planning and
Administrative expenses are capped at 20% of the annual allocation, which would be $51,345. However,
in reviewing actual administrative expenditures over the last several years, staff is recommending an
allocation of $46,227 for adminishative expenses. The remaining amount ($210,500) of the city's CDBG
allocation can be used to fund projects, with no more than 15% ($38,500) being used for Public Service
Projects.
2. Process and Timeline
The City has been working to identify potential future projects for the coming program year. On March 1,
2012, the Mayor, City Council and Department Directors were contacted for project ideas. On March 12,
2012 staff conducted a Community Workshop to provide information and reach out to past sub-recipients
and potential future sub-recipients. In late March, interested organizations submitted letters of intent, and
for those projects that appeared to meet the minimum qualifications, staff invited them to submit a full
funding application by Apri120, 2012.
3. Application Review and Scoring
Organizations were required to submit applications addressing the following items:
Goals and outcomes of the proposed project,
Community Development Department 33 E. Broadway Avenue Meridian, ID 83642
Phone 208-884-5533 Fax 208-888-6854 ®www.meridiancity.org
Page 2
® The need that the proposed project addresses,
® How the organization plans to carry out the proposed project,
® The capacity of the organization to implement the proposed project, and
® Whether or not the organization is going to leverage any other funds for the proposed project.
An internal City committee reviewed and ranked all of the submitted applications based on a matrix that
provided weighted scoring to the more critical items in the application. The scoring criteria used by the
working group were provided to the applicants for informational purposes as part of the application form.
4. National Program Considerations
The National Goals of the CDBG Program are as follows:
® Provide decent, safe, and sanitary housing.
® Provide a suitable living environment.
® Expand economic opportunities.
The National Objectives of the CDBG Program are as follows:
® Benefit low-moderate income persons.
® Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight.
® Meet an urgent need.
Other items to consider under the national program regulations include that over amulti-year period 70%
of the expenditures must benefit low-moderate income persons. Public Services are capped at 15% of the
annual allocation, which would be $38,500 for PY2012.
5. Local Program Considerations
The City is entering its first year of the new Five Year Consolidated Plan 2012-2016. Each Annual
Action Plan is based on the needs, goals, and outcomes identified in the Consolidated Plan. The City will
be considering the draft Five Year Consolidated Plan 2012-2016 concurrent with the draft Program Year
2012 Annual Action Plan. Below are the Strategies and Objectives from the draft Consolidated Plan
2012-2016:
Strategy No. 1(Affordable Housing): Improve access to affordable housing opportunities for
Meridian Residents.
® Objective L1: Address the need for affordable decent housing by supporting a down payment
assistance program for qualifying households.
Strategy No. 2 (Suitable Living Environment): Support services, programs, and projects for the city's
LMI residents, including persons with special needs and residents at-risk of homelessness.
® Objective 2.1: Support public service activities that serve the city's LMI residents.
® Objective 2.2: Invest in public facility improvements that serve person with special needs and low
income residents, as well as public facility improvements located in the city's LMI areas.
Strategy No. 3 (Economic Opportunities): Improve economic opportunities in the city's LMI areas.
® Objective 3.1: Support public service activities that provide employment training or job
creation/retention for the city's LMI residents.
® Objective 3.2: Invest in public facility improvements or activities in the downtown area that
address one or more of the conditions which contributed to the deterioration of the area.

6. Projects & Recommended Funding
Below is a list and brief project description of all the funding applications submitted for Program Year
2012.
Public Service Applications
® Hunger Relief, Meridian Food Bank: Project funds would be used to purchase food that is
distributed through the Meridian Food Bank to hungiy families and to children through the
weekend Backpack Program.
® Senior Job Training/Placement and Business Development, Open Lines Training: Project
funds would be used to provide job refresher/training and job placement for Meridian Seniors.
Project includes working with local businesses for job placement opportunities. The project is
intended for seniors who are residents of Meridian with a plan to coordinate with the Meridian
Senior Center.
Non-Public Service Applications
® Down Payment Assistance, Neighborhood Housing Services: Project funds would be used to
help pay down payment and closing costs for qualified low/moderate income households
purchasing a home in Meridian.
® Down Payment Assistance, Ada County Housing Authority (ACHA): Project funds would be
used to help pay down payment and closing costs for qualified low/moderate income households
purchasing a home in Meridian.
® Meridian Road Split Corridor Phase 2 Historic Lighting, Meridian Development
Corporation: Project funds would be used to pay a portion of the costs for the construction and
installation of historic lighting along the Meridian Road Split Cot~ridor Phase 2. The request for
CDBG funds represents approximately 1/a of the total project costs. The total project cost is
approximately $450,000.
® 8th Street Park ADA Accessible Restroom, Meridian Parks and Recreation Department:
Project funds would be used to design and construct ADA accessible restroom facilities in 8th
Street Park. There are currently no restroom facilities in 8t1i Street Park.
The CDBG Scoring Committee that reviewed all of the submitted applications recommends funding two
projects under the public service category, the first for the Meridian Food Bank and the second for Open
Lines Training. The recommended funding level for both projects is less than requested; however, both
organizations can still benefit from the recommended funding amount. The working group recommends
funding three of the five submitted projects for the non-public service applications at varying funding
levels.
Page 4
Two public service applications were submitted for a total funding request of $78,820. As identified
above, the available funding for the coming program year is capped at $38,500 for public services.
Public Service Applications
Project Name Applicant Funding Recommended
Request Funding
Hunger Relief Meridian Food $38,500 $26,500

Job Training and Placement Open Lines $40,320 $12,000*
for Meridian Seniors Training
'`Open Lines Training proposed atwo-phase project for a total cost of $40,320. The CDBG Scoring Committee
recommends funding only the first phase which focuses primarily on job training/development and placement
activities for Meridian Seniors.
Four non-public service applications were submitted for a total funding request of $300,000. The
available funding for Program Year 2012 is $172,000 for these types of projects.
Non-Public Service Applications
Project Name Applicant Funding Recommended
Request Funding
Down Payment Assistance Neighborhood $20,000 $21,000

*The CDBG Scoring Committee supports the Historic Lighting project for the Meridian Road Split Corridor Phase
Two. However, if the City funds a portion of the lighting project with CDBG funds and the project is bid with the
entire roadway project (as is currently being discussed), then the Davis Bacon wage requirements would apply to
the entire roadway project. This would substantially increase the costs for all of the agencies involved in this
roadway project. The Scoring Committee recommends that MDC find an alternative funding mechanism for this
project.
7. Next Steps
After Council has established the priorities for the coming program year at the May 16 public meeting,
staff will prepare the draft annual action plan. The public hearing on the draft plan is set for June 19,
2012 at 7 p.m.; this will coincide with the public hearing on the draft Consolidated Plan 2012-2016. The
required public comment period for both the draft Program Year 2012 Action Plan and the draft
Consolidated Plan 2012-2016 will open on June 19 and will continue through July 24, 2012. The final
hearing and adoption for the Consolidated Plan 2012-2016 and Program Year 2012 Action Plan is
scheduled for July 24, 2012 at 7 p.m.

Water Conservation Plan
Purpose
The purpose of the conservation plan is to preserve, protect and extend the useful life of the
City's current water supplies by reducing per-capita water consumption.
Scope
As part of the 2011 Water Master Plan, the City held a workshop to discuss long-term water
supply issues. The workshop was attended by City staff, elected officials, and subject matter
experts. As a result of that effort and further direction, the following scope was developed for
the Water Conservation Plan:
Plan Term
The objectives of this plan have a time frame from 1-10 years. Because this is the City's first
formal Water Conservation Plan, there are many unknown factors that will influence future
versions. Primarily, it is unknown to what extent different conservation actions will
influence residents. The overall plan should be re-evaluated in 3-5 years, however, specific
conservation actions should take place or be evaluated annually or even on shorter schedules
as indicated in the Conservation Actions matrix.
Groundwater Vs Surface Water
The City of Meridian currently uses groundwater as its only source of potable water for
residents. The City currently has no control over the delivery or allocation of surface water
to residents. In fact, since residents pay a fixed fee for surface water regardless of the
quantity used, there is no fiscal incentive for them to conserve.
This paradigm can result in short-sighted water management. In years with a shortage of
surface water supply, additional needs maybe met through groundwater pumping, thereby
increasing demand on this resource, which is the sole supply for the City's potable water. In
years with a surplus of surface water, there is no corresponding benefit to the groundwater
supply (other than a potential increase in aquifer recharge). Conservation of surface water
and changes in delivery practices during surplus years could lead to a reserve supply in
storage to help in shortage years.
Regardless of current delivery practices, the City staff and elected officials realize that the
yearly supply of surface water is a variable and finite resource that has a great impact on the
economy and quality of life for Meridian residents.
Even if surface water conservation has no immediate benefit or need for residents, population
growth, climate change, and other factors will likely change that in the future.
Understanding that the culture of water conservation is developed over time, this plan
recognizes that starting the effort before there is a dire need will help ensure future success.
For these reasons, this plan encourages the conservation of both groundwater and surface
water.
Plan Data
Much of the data used in this plan was assembled and presented as part of the 2011 Water
Master Plan update for the City of Meridian. This plan was developed by Murray, Smith and

Conservation Plan Goals
Meridian Water Conservation Plan Long Term Goals were developed by the working group
described above with input over several weeks and workshops. They are:
® Ensure an adequate, sustainable and reliable supply of water at a reasonable cost
for current and future needs of the community.
® Promote environmentally and economically sound use of available water resources.
® Protect and preserve water resources through leadership, research, cooperation
with other stakeholders, and education.
® Prepare for drought and water emergencies.
Conservation Plan Objectives
The Working Group developed some specific objectives that could be used to guide what
conservation actions would be recommended.
® Establish an ongoing water conservation education program for the Meridian
community by 2013.
® Evaluate and report on the effectiveness of the Water Conservation Plan to the
community annually; share experiences, discuss lessons learned, and generate
public involvement and get feedback.
® Reduce Meridian customer potable water per capita use by 3% by 2015, in addition
to the reduction achieved by the addition of more customers who use surface water
for irrigation.
® Provide leadership by convening stakeholders within the Lower Boise watershed
and developing a water conservation partnership by 2015.
® Gather hydrogeologic data and develop a realistic working model of aquifer system
around Meridian by 2013. Develop fresh water supply projections (sustainable
aquifer yield) by 2015.
® Reclaim and reuse 80% of Meridian's wastewater by 2030.
® Establish cooperative relationships with surface water providers by 2013.
Plan Elements
This plan includes four basic elements:
® Study area characteristics
® Analysis of historical and projected water demand
® Water supply
® Past, current and future conservation measures
Resolution and Adopting the Plan
It is intended that this plan will be reviewed, approved and adopted by the City Council.

Water Conservation Plan
As noted, not all residential properties in the City have surface water irrigation systems.
Currently, about 20% of the population uses municipal water for irrigation; however, new
developments in the City are required by city code to provide pressurized irrigation systems from
sutface water if the developing land was previously served by surface water. This city code is in
alignment with state law that strongly encourages the use of surface water as the primary source
for irrigation (including lawns). Because of this, the population percentage using municipal
water for irrigation will continue to shrink with time.

The 2011 Water Master Plan Update discusses the impact of water conservation on future
demand. The data gathered showed that customers using surface water for irrigation had an
average per capita potable water consumption of 112 gpcpd. This number can be used as a
target for overall per capita consumption with conservation. This is a 13.8 percent difference
in per capita consumption (from the proposed planning metric of 130 gpcpd).

Secti® ater Supply
Sources of Water ®Current Capacity and Source of ,supply
Meridian currently relies on groundwater as the single source for all its potable water supply.
Although it is the sole source of potable supply, it is a complex resource. Municipal wells tap
the groundwater supply from 300 to 800 feet below ground level. Water from these various
depths and locations varies in chemical composition and overall quality.
Meridian's Municipal water supply system has the capacity to pump approximately 33,000 gpm
for several hours and up to 30,000 gpm for an indefinite time period. The 2010 Water Master
Plan Update includes detailed information about Meridian's water supply and distribution
infrastructure.
Sustainable Yield
Changes in static water levels have been observed at wells across Meridian, but they have not
been significant and have not necessarily been attributed to municipal pumping. There is very
little information on the rate of recharge of the aquifer system and the sustainable pumping
volume.
Meridian monitors water levels at several observation wells at various locations throughout the
city. Data has been collected for a number of years with some wells dating back to the early
1990s. The City is working to use this data along with drilling logs, to develop a groundwater
model and aquifer mapping in order to better understand the characteristics of the aquifer system,
including the recharge mechanisms and sustainable yield. The information being gathered and
analyzed for Meridian will likely be the best available data that exists and will be invaluable for
the City's conservation efforts.
Supply and Demand Balance
The 2010 Water Master Plan projected demands through ultimate build-out for the City. Total
demand projections using a conservative per capital demand of 130 gallons per day were used in
Table 3-3. Average demand per day is projected to be about 33 million gallons in 2060. Over a
year, that equates to 12 billion gallons of potable water supply needed for Meridian customers
alone. Other potable water suppliers surrounding Meridian will increase demands on the shared
aquifer system to serve their current and future customers as well.
Experience and available data have shown that the aquifer system that Meridian relies upon for
potable water supply is extremely productive; however, as discussed, the ultimate sustainable
yield is unknown. Additionally, we may not know when we have exceeded this sustainable yield
until after it happens. Again, more data collection and analysis is needed to better understand
this issue.
Once again, surface water supply and conservation may become an important issue. The
Treasure Valley Comprehensive Aquifer Management Plan (CAMP) effort produced a Treasure
Valley Future Water Demand study by WRIME Consultants. The study indicated that the net

The conversion of wastewater to reclaimed water, and its use, will be a key component in water
conservation in the future. Reclaimed water has a variety of applications which can either
replace or reduce the need for other sources of water. It can also replenish groundwater supplies.
The following description is from the draft Reclaimed Water Master Plan developed for the City
by HDR Engineering:
City's Current and Planned Reclaimed Water Program
The City of Meridian (City) is developing a program to produce and distribute
reclaimed water for a variety of uses. Reclaimed water is a highly treated water
resource generated at the City's municipal wastewater treatment plant that meets
standards for reuse established by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality
(DEQ).
This Reclaimed Water Master Plan (Master Plan) presents along-range vision for
the City's reclaimed water program and defines market expectations for reclaimed
water sales. Cost opinions for constructing future components of the reclaimed
water production and distribution system are also presented, which establishes the
foundation from which a framework for financing capital investments has been
analyzed. Finally, the Plan identifies policy and implementation issues that will
affect development and financing of the reclaimed water program.
The City's reclaimed water program will continue to evolve as the City gains
experience with the production and distribution of the resource. Therefore, the
policies, assumptions, and findings of this Master Plan are expected to be updated
regularly, particularly in the near-term.
Program History
The City has been producing Class A reclaimed water since 2009, and
beneficially reusing the water for turf irrigation at Heroes Park. This
demonstration project has offered a highly visible means by which to educate the
public about the value of this resource. The Idaho Department of Environmental
Quality issued the City a Final Wastewater Reuse Permit (No. LA-000215-02) on
April 19, 2010. This permit is effective for five years and allows for the use of
reclaimed water in irrigation, dust suppression, toilet flushing, lined surface water
features, sanitary sewer flushing, and fire suppression throughout the City. This
"City-wide" permit supports the expansion of the program that is presented in the
Master Plan.
The Vision for of the Meridian Public Works Department for the year 2030 was developed in
2009. Recycling and reusing wastewater is a primary component of that Vision which foresees
recycling and/or reuse of 80% of the waste stream by that time.

Water Conservation Plan
section 7 ® otential Conservation 1~ctions
This plan is Meridian's first formal water conservation plan, As discussed previously, the City's
water supply and distribution infrastructure is more than capable of providing peak demands and
emergency flows to customers. In addition, the City is extremely fortunate to be tapping an
aquifer system that has shown little to no decline after several years of sustained pumping.
The City understands, however, that annual water supply is a limited resource and is taking
measures to better understand the resource.
The Conservation Plan Working Group submitted their ideas for water conservation measures
which were consolidated and added to measures found in the AWWA Manual: Water
Conservation for Small and Medium-Sized Utilities. The Working Group preferred the term
Conservation Actions, rather than measures. These potential actions were organized and
discussed by the Working Group in light of the Goals and Objectives they had previously
developed. The outcome was a list of recommended actions for the plan.
The Conservation Actions were categorized as follows:
® Utility /City Practices
® Ordinances and Rules
® Outreach
® Incentives
® Reclaimed Water
In developing the Goals, Objectives, and Conservation Actions of this plan, the different
perspectives of the Working Group members were apparent. However, it was a consistent
opinion among members that the best conservation actions were those that employed education,
outreach and setting an example through City leadership rather than developing ordinances or
rules to try to force customers to conserve.
Appendix B contains the matrix of Conservation Actions considered including recommendations
/ notes from the Working Group. Some actions discussed may require additional research to
determine potential costs and benefits. In several cases, the group recommended that actions be
considered based on future research and analysis.

the following elements:
1. Triggering Conditions
2. Initiation Procedures
3. Demand Management Response
4. Termination Procedures
Because Meridian's system does not include large storage facilities, it relies on instantaneous
pumping capacity from wells to serve peak demands. Therefore, the triggering conditions for
determining whether a shortage is pending or exists are based on the Peak Hour Demand in
relation to the pumping capacity of the system.
It is important to note that the City will take additional actions to correct or mitigate whatever
problems have lead to a water shortage. The responses considered in this plan are only directed
to managing demand /encouraging conservation.
Another important note is that the termination of a Supply Condition can mean the condition has
improved or gotten worse, so the demand management response selected should be appropriate
to the change in condition.

Water Conservation Plan
Water Supply Condition 2: Probable Water Shortage Predicted
Triggering Conditions:
Forecast Peak Hour Demand through the next six months exceeds of the current capacity of any
pressure zone and the zones above it combined.
Initiation Procedures:
Water Division works with Engineering Division to assess current pumping capacity and forecast
demands based on current demand patterns, historic trends, and other available data. Water
Superintendent makes determination that condition exists and notifies the Public Works Director,
who declares the condition to the Mayor's Office. The Mayor officially declares the condition to
the public and initiates an appropriate demand management response.
Demand Management Response:
Work with the Public Works Director and Public Affairs Officer to organize outreach effort to
request voluntary water conservation. Consider the following options;
® Press release may need to be distributed to media for general release
® Use billing inserts to inform customers of the situation
® Provide press release for Website
® Distribute press release HOAs, businesses, and customers by email
Consider implementing mandatory conservation measures:
® Prohibit outdoor use of City water
® Initiate conservation rate schedule
® Charge emergency conservation fees for residential use over account "winter averages"
(average monthly use from January through April)
® Initiate probable water shortage rate schedule - TBD.
Termination Procedures:
Water Division works with Engineering Division to assess pumping capacity and refine demand
forecasts. Water Superintendent makes determination that condition no longer exists and notifies
the Public Works Director, who informs the Mayor and Council. The Mayor officially declares
the change in condition to the public and initiates the appropriate demand management response
if any.

Potable Water: Potable water is water that can be consumed in any desired amount without
concern of adverse health effects. Water provided by community water systems including public
and private utilities is considered potable water.
Surface Water: Surface Water is water that is supplied by streams, rivers, and lakes. It is usually
stored in man-made reservoirs and transported through canals.

Authorization
In 2010, the firm of Murray, Smith & Associates, Inc. (MSA) was authorized by the City of
Meridian to prepare this WMP.
Compliance
This WMP complies with water system master planning requirements established under the
Idaho Administrative Code (IDAPA) 58.01.08, administered by the Idaho Department of
Environmental Quality (IDEQ).
Planning Period
This WMP focuses on improvements required over the next 20 years (2030). However,
longer-term evaluations were conducted on the City's water supply system that include
projections through build-out.
Study Area
The study area for the WMP includes the existing City limits out to the extent of the adopted
Future Impact Boundary.
Existing Water System
General
This plan assumes that groundwater will continue to be a viable source of supply for the City
in the near-term and long-term. Additional water supply planning is being conducted as a
follow up study to this project. That study is evaluating how to address the City's water
supply needs beyond the IDEQ focused 20-year horizon.
Water Requirements
® The City's current and projected population and water demands are summarized in Table
1-1.
® The City's 10-year historical average day demand (ADD) for the years 1999 through
2009 averaged 169 gallons per capita per day (gpcpd). Since 2005, the City's per capita
water usage has averaged 138 gpcpd, with the 2008 and 2009 average down to 130
gpcpd.
® The City has an average non-revenue water rate of 3 percent of total production. This is
very low compared with other utilities.
® The City is in the process of adopting their first formal water conservation plan. The
conservation plan was developed by City staff, with involvement from a citizen based
10-1116 Page 1 - 2 City of Meridian
April 2012 Executive Summary Water Master Plan
Distribution
® A computer model of the distribution system was developed and calibrated. Both
existing and future (2015 and 2030) demand conditions were evaluated using this model.
® The City has done an excellent job of maintaining, expanding and completing loops in
the distribution system to accommodate the unprecedented growth that has occurred
during the past 20 years.
® The distribution system is composed of a primary grid of mostly 12-inch mains, with
some 10- and 16-inch mains. Future expansions should continue the 12-inch by 12-inch
grid pattern to provide adequate water transmission capabilities throughout the
distribution system.
® The City has implemented an infrastructure replacement program to address mains that
do not meet existing City size standards, are of substandard materials or are apparently
approaching their end of service life. The project is initially targeting substandard size
pipe that do not meet City standards. This WMP identifies approximately $40 million in
substandard size main replacements to be made over the next 20 to 50 years. A smaller
number of fire flow related improvements were also identified that will be addressed in
the next 5 to 10 years.
® The City's first interconnection with another utility is recommended in Zone 3, with
United Water Idaho (UWI), to address specific fire flow deficiencies, provided that the
cost/benefit of the interconnection compares favorably with other options. This will be a
two-way metered connection that would benefit both utilities under emergency
conditions.
® Pressure Zone 1 will be fully implemented in the near future through the installation of
five Pressure Reducing Valves (PRVs).
Water Quality anal Regulations
® Currently, all of the City's potable water is supplied by wells. The general quality of the
water is good, meeting current federal and state regulatory limits for inorganic
compounds (IOCs), synthetic organic compounds (SOCs), volatile organic compounds
(VOCs), lead and copper, coliform, and fluoride.
® The City currently disinfects its water supply at the wellhead, prior to its entry into the
distribution system. Sodium hypochlot•ite is added at a sufficient rate to maintain a
residual chlorine level of 0.3 mg/L in the distribution system.
One major area of concern is the elevated uranium levels measured in Wells 16, 20B and
23. In these wells, uranium has been detected at levels that approach or exceed the 30
µg/L maximum concentration level (MCL). For wells that are affected by uranium levels
that exceed the MCL, the City will need to consider either abandoning the wells,
modifying the wells, placing them on standby status or implementing treatment in order
to reduce the uranium content to acceptable levels. The City is currently evaluating
10-1116 Page 1 - 4 City of Meridian
Apri12012 Executive Summary Water Master Plan
level storage with booster stations to meet peak demands. This will ultimately eliminate
the need to construct a significant number of wells as demand increases. A summary of
the recommendations to implement this scenario over the 20-year planning period is
provided in Table 1-2.
® One of the recommendations from the water supply section is for the City to continue to
maintain a two well buffer beyond strict IDEQ requirements into the future. This
requires that, in addition to the ground reservoir, three additional wells be constructed
between 2020 and 2030. It is recommended that the wells be spaced throughout this
period to have the supply buffer remain ahead of projected increases in demand.
® Due to demand and supply forecasts, it is recommended that the City acquire an
additional piece of property in Zone 2 for the eventual construction of an additional
storage and booster facility in the near-term. This property will initially serve as the site
of a new production well prior to 2030. Two well sites have also been identified for
acquisition prior to 2020.
® The City should also consider evaluating property for a reservoir site in Zone 5 while
property values are low, though this reservoir will likely not be required in the next 20
years.

`t Includes $630, 000 for boostet• upgrade to be paid for by developer
Financial
The City has been proactive in their financial planning, maintaining healthy fund balances in
recent years. The un-designated fund balance in FY2012 is approximately $6 million. The
City has identified over $10 million in water infrastructure improvements in this planning
effort in addition to almost $5 million in other water system capital projects between FY2012
and FY2016. Based on the City's financial model, which does not account for any rate
increases in the next five years, the ending fund balance in FY2016 will be over $11 million.
This provides the City with the flexibility to deal with unexpected capital, personnel or
operations related costs if they should arise in the next five years. Overall, the City's water
utility is in good financial condition.

within the city. The second -- or, excuse me, the third application -- I will skip down to
the fourth one first. The third one that we recommended for funding was submitted by
our Parks and Recreation Department. They submitted for an A.D.A. accessible
restroom in 8th Street Park. It's our only park facility that does not have a restroom and
the Parks Department has said they believe that the usage is down in that park because
there are no restroom facilities. You may be familiar over the last couple years we used
some of our stimulus funds to do a pathway connection to that park across -- I believe it
was Five Mile Creek -- across Five Mile Creek. So, there is connections to that park, so
they think the restroom facility would be an enhancement to that -- to that park. And the
Parks Department has stated it's come up as a priority for them, but it's not in their
capital improvement plan for the next ten year horizon. So, that project was 130,000 for
design and construction. The last application that fell under this nonpublic service
category was submitted by our urban renewal agency by the Meridian Development
Corporation for the construction of the historic lighting along phase two of the Meridian
Road split corridor. They submitted a funding request of 100,00 dollars. The total
project cost looks like it will be about 450,000. This one the scoring committee was very
supportive of the application, but there is some complicating factors and I'll explain that.
We had -- we have funded the design through our grant for this project, so it's really
important that we see this project constructed and completed. As you know we can't --
we don't get credit through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for
expenditures of those funds until the project is constructed and completed. However,
for cost saving purposes, MDC is looking at having the lighting bid with the entire
roadway project. If that happens and if we funded a portion of that lighting project with
the grant, the requirements to Davis Bacon wages opens up to the entire roadway
project, which would be astronomical. Usually you assume a 20 to 30 percent increase
in your wage costs and when we found that out we were so disappointed. We thought
we could look at just the lighting component of it. We knew that we were going to have
to pay Davis Bacon if we paid a portion of the lighting project with the grant funds, but
when we found that it would be -- it would open up the entire roadway project and no
other federal dollars are being used for this project, we think we would lose the cost
savings from having it bid with the roadway project, in addition to increasing it for ACRD
and all other things. So, we support the project, we want to see the project completed,
but we don't believe the grant funds are an appropriate use at this time. So, we were
really disappointed to find that out. We talked with MDC last week and we talked with
the project manager at ACRD and he confirmed that they have no other federal dollars.
So, by throwing -- if we contributed any amount to the lighting project it would -- it really
just throws a wrench into everything. So, we really -- as much as we supported the
project, that's the reasons why we didn't recommend funding it for this year. And with
that I will stand for any questions. And I'm open to -- you know, if you have other ideas
about the funding amounts or questions about the project, I'm happy to answer any
questions that you may have.
De Weerd: Thank you. Council, any questions?
Hoaglun: Madam Mayor?

De Weerd: Mr. Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: Lori, if we can go back to the one slide on the senior training.
Den Hartog: Yes.
Hoaglun: Can you refresh my memory -- I know you have gone over it before, but, you
know, this is a new applicant and they -- you know, recommending 12,000 dollars if we
do that. There is a process that you will go back later on to make sure that funds were
spent appropriately. Can you kind of go through that again for me?
Den Hartog: So, with this application they had originally submitted a request for 40,000
dollars, as you can see. They had estimated a goal of placing five to ten seniors a
month for the year for the amount. So, we are looking at about a quarter of that for the
amount that we are spending here. What we do is -- this company will have to -- more
than likely it would be one or two staff that will be involved with this particular project.
They will have to track their time and submit that to the city, so they will have their
expenses and, then, submit for reimbursement. We review all of those expenses and
all of their tracking and we are going to be looking for what types of goals they are able
to reach, if they are able to place the seniors. So, one of the things our committee was
really interested in seeing was actual results and how many seniors that there are able
to place and that was one of the reasons we did substantially less than what they had
requested. We thought we could give it a try and I talked with Becky McKinstry, she's
the owner of Open Lines Training who had submitted the application, and talked with
her about, you know, can you still accomplish some things with this amount, you know,
with this funding level and she thought that that was possible. She said they might
restructure it a little bit to do possibly some more group trainings, as opposed to one on
one's that they might have done had the funding been at a higher level. So, we are
interested in seeing what they can get done for this amount and that will be something
that I'll report back to Council on at the end of the year and see what that looks like and
anytime they submit for reimbursement we will be looking for those -- for those targets
at that time. So, it will be typically on a monthly basis.
Hoaglun: Okay. Great. Thank you, Lori.
De Weerd: Any other questions from Council?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Having no further questions, Council, this is just apre-draft --
Den Hartog: Yes. There is no motion needed and I will take your comments or
thoughts if you have them, but, otherwise, I will be back in June with something -- with
the action plan that has this information in it as well.
De Weerd: For public comment --

Den Hartog: Yes. And that will open the public comment period.
Zaremba: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: I would say go forward the direction you're already going. That sounds right
to me.
Den Hartog: Okay.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you, Lori.
Den Hartog: All right. Thank you.
B. Public Works: Water Master Plan and Water Conservation Plan
Adoption
De Weerd: Okay. Item 7-B is under our Public Works Department, so I will turn this
over to Kyle.
Radek: Madam Mayor, Council Members, tonight the engineering division of the Public
Works Department brings the water master plan and conservation plan before you for
either adoption or if you prefer to table the adoption, we can -- we can wait another
couple weeks if you haven't had enough chance to look at the water master I believe we
provided to you about -- with executive summary about three weeks ago and gave you
a link to the main document. In any case, I'm going to have our consultant from Murray
Smith and Associates David Stangel, who is the project manager for the water master
plan. I'm going to have him give you a presentation and, then, we will stand for
questions and just from my perspective when I first joined the city in 2006 we were just
completing our last water master plan and Dave Spangle was also project manager on
that from a different company at the time. Just a few things that are markedly different
about this master plan from the one that was finished in 2006. The development of an
entirely new water model was done with this master plan. Up until this spring we had
been operating on a -- on a platform we liked to call Gradynet and you may recognize
that name. It worked very well. Len Grady actually developed that -- the database that
runs that water model by himself. Phenomenal. But when -- when things break there is
no Gradynet, Incorporated, to call. So, we had MSA develop a new water model for us
in InfoWater, which is supported by MWH. We did an operations and maintenance
review this time, we did a financial review, we looked at population and demand
projections beyond DEQ requirements and, of course, as you know the development of
a water conservation plan in parallel was also included and we have presented that to
you a couple times. So, with that I'm going to let David come up and give you a briefing
on the master plan, what it was about and what it entails, then, I will come back up and
we will stand for some questions.

Stangel: Thanks, Kyle. Madam Mayor, Council Members, thank you for the opportunity
to come and present this tonight. As Kyle mentioned, this is actually the third water
master plan I have worked on for the City of Meridian, so -- the second one with Kyle.
And I have to say I really enjoy working with the city Public Works staff, and in particular
Kyle. He's a --
De Weerd: He's kind of entertaining, isn't he?
Stangel: He's a good guy and he's one of these people that tells it just like it is and I
really appreciate that as a consultant. So, I appreciate that. I also understand there is
some incentive for me to wrap things up relatively quickly tonight, so I am open to
questions, but -- so interrupt me as things go on, but I will try to be relatively quick in this
outline. So, we have about 20 slides to go through. So, from an outline standpoint we
have our master plan sections we will go over briefly. Kyle mentioned several of those
already. We will have the summary to go through. Kyle will come back up and talk a
little bit about the master -- or the -- excuse me -- the conservation plan adoption and,
then, we will open it up to any general questions. But don't let that stop you from asking
now. So, plan sections, description system, obviously, is some of the basic contexts.
Population demand. Forecasting obviously very important. Kyle alluded to we did
some water supply planning, a little bit more comprehensive this time than we had in the
past. We looked beyond 20 years. We did a systems analysis, which really focuses on
using that hydraulic model to identify hydraulic deficiencies in the system. We looked at
water quality and the associated regulations that the city needs to meet. We looked at
operations and maintenance, ultimately developing a capital improvement plan and also
completing a financial review of that -- of the finances compared to the capital
improvement plan. So, the existing system -- this is, obviously, no news to most of you.
Four current pressure zones, five -- a sixth one planned here in the near future. The
city has over 400 miles of pipe. About 20 wells currently in operation, 4,400 hydrants,
so a pretty large system. Most of the -- most of the piping is eight and 12 inch. As you
can see it's a nice grid which provides the city a lot of flexibility in terms of being able to
move water in a lot of directions and that's great from -- particularly from a redundancy
and emergency firefighting perspective. So, population projections. So, we used
COMPASS information for this and this is a community planning association here that
focuses on southwest Idaho. And what they do is they break up these projections on
traffic analysis and these are kind of smaller polygons, then, that allow us to look at
certain areas and identify how much growth is projected there over the next 20 years
and beyond. So, for zero to 20 years we wanted to look at an area-by-area projection in
terms of how much growth is going to occur in certain parts of the system, so, then, we
could apply that growth rate directly to the hydraulic model and analyze things from a
much more specific perspective. Beyond 20 years we are more interested in a long-
term supply standpoint, how much water could the city need in 50 years say and so
looking at it from an overall perspective. As Kyle mentioned, DEQ only requires a 20
year evaluation of the system, with a lot of emphasis put on the next five years in terms
of what capital improvements is the city going to be making. The service area
projections. This is always a challenging one in that you have to identify what your
Meridian City Council
May 16, 2012
Page 9 of 17
service area is going to be, so that COMPASS will provide growth for, you know, these
sub areas within the system, but you have to tell it where can we serve and so what we
see here in red is, basically, the city's existing service area. What we see in green,
then, is what we -- we sat down with the planning group at the city and said where do
we anticipate growing over the next ten years and so you see the green boundary there
kind of expands from where the red -- red is and grows out there. But there is no -- you
know, this is one of those soft science areas in terms of a little bit of art and a little bit of
science in terms where these are going to grow. No one exactly has the crystal ball
dialed in. 2030, then, with the blue boundary and, then, out to the ultimate impact area
there that you see the ultimate extent of the system. So, what does this mean in terms
of population? So, right now the city has a service population somewhere between 65
and 70 thousand. Now, why that isn't exact is because there are people within the city
who don't use city water and so there is -- there is some variation in that. Based on the
COMPASS projections by 2020 the city could see as many as 100,000 plus people,
once again, depending on what growth rates do. 2030, maybe 140. By build out -- and
this number was the interesting one -- if everybody within the city's impact area used
city water and it developed to the ultimate density that is applied to the land use
planning, you could see upwards of 300,000 people, which -- you know, that's a big
number and associated with that, of course, then, there is big water usage
requirements. So, historic water use. So, this provides some graphic basically between
2000 and 2010 and what you see there with the blue dots is population growth and so
no surprise big increase up until about 2007 when things kind of flatten off. What we
see with the red dots, then, is average day demands, from an average yearly
perspective how much water is being used and so you see that kind of peaking in 2007
and flattening off, then, after that. Now, the critical number from a supply standpoint is
max day demand. That's what the city has to be able to supply from their wells and so
that's the number to focus on. So, if you look at that, that, once again, that kind of
peaked up in about 2007 and then -- and, then, trailed off a little bit from that at about 20
million gallons a day. So, that's in context. So, the other interesting part, then, is
looking at per capita water use. How much water is used by each individual person in
the city. So, once again, the same time frame we are looking at here, same blue dots
describing the population curve. Now, what we see, though, in the red is decreasing
per capita water use over that period. So, substantial amount. So, in 1998 or 2000, you
know, you're up above 200 gallons per capita per day. In 2010 you're down in the 130
range. Now, what's that attributed to? A lot of it's attributed to new development being
required to use non-potable irrigation. So, new customers come on board, they use the
canal water to water their lawn and things during the summer. The other thing I think
we would attribute is just people's awareness and conservation and also the economic
impact of paying their bills every month. So, watching that. So, the question is, though,
how far down does that per capita water usage go? Can it go much lower than it is now
or -- there is some diminishing return once the vast majority of the city's residents get on
non-potable irrigation. So, that becomes a question of what do we use for projection
purposes for that per capita number. So, from a master planning standpoint we want to
be relatively conservative and here we have a map of where we have identified where
people have non-potable irrigation options and that you see that area in green. Now,
where we have got potable irrigation or a cluster of customers that don't, what you see
Meridian City Council
May 16, 2012
Page 10 of 17
there in blue, which is not surprising, kind of some of the older parts of town and those
types of things. But it was an interesting graphic and before this master plan the city
really hadn't had a tool to identify that, because that doesn't show up on water bills or
anything else. What we did is we took the water usage record and identify huge
discrepancies, then, between winter water use and summer water use and where you
saw a big difference, then, you assume that -- you know, that you have potable or non-
potable irrigation. So, some interesting information there. One of the other things we
did look at in association with this was what would the water savings to the city be if you
spent the money to convert those customers to non-potable and it ends up being very
expensive to retrofit non-potable irrigation systems, but it was an interesting evaluation.
So, the system wide average we had 130 gallons per capita per day. Areas using
potable irrigation averaged 215 gallons per day, those on city water to irrigate their
lawn, and those with non-potable average 110. So, what we wanted to do from a
master planning standpoint was be relatively conservative and use the 130 for
projecting forward. Say we are not going to drop any more than that. Now, the city has
updated their plans every five years and so, once again, we have the ability, then, to
ratchet that down to see the trend. So, then, this is a summary coming back to the
earlier population projections and associating that, then, with water usage and so as we
discussed right now we are in the 20 to 25 range from a max day perspective. You can
see as you get towards 2030 or 2060 large amount of additional water required. Once
again it may not be this much if the per capita numbers keep coming down, but,
regardless, it's a lot of water in the future. So, water supply plans, as Kyle mentioned,
one of the things we wanted to do was take a little bit of a bigger step back and look at
this from a bigger picture standpoint. One of the things the city has been doing
historically is, basically, serving peak hour demand or their maximum instantaneous
demand from their wells. That means that the maximum demand ever occurring with
the system, they can turn a well on and supply that. Most systems do not do that. Most
systems provide max day demand and serve that differential from reservoirs. And so
right now the city has the flexibility to do it. In the future what the implication is there is
a lot more wells required and so the city would like to move towards a serving max day
demand from wells serving that differential from reservoirs into the future, that will
ultimately save money and get at some water supply water rights issues that we will talk
about as well. Bottom line right now, though, the city's well positioned to meet future
demands both from a water right standpoint, as well as a pumping capacity standpoint.
The city has over 50 million gallons a day of pumping capacity, so a max day there at
about 25. So, that's great. The city is continuing to actually evaluate long term water
supply options and the city was involved with the Treasure Valley Camp, which was,
you know, an initial effort to try to get everybody to come together and talk about what
can we do to insure everyone has enough water in the future. I think that was a good
first step. Hopefully we get some concrete movement out of that. So, system analysis
-- Kyle mentioned we updated and calibrated the hydraulic models as part of this. What
we do with that model is we basically use it to evaluate the hydraulics under existing
and future conditions, make sure that we can provide fire flows and make sure that
everyone has adequate pressures under peak demand conditions. From a result
standpoint, the system is adequately sized, lots of capacities, no significant issues
there, just very localized fire flow issues where we have larger fire flow requirements.
Meridian City Council

One of the things the city is starting now is a long term main replacement program. So,
one of the things we have identified as part of this was making sure that some of the
undersized piping that was installed early in the city's history gets identified early for
replacement. From a water quality standpoint the city is in great shape there as well.
You do have isolated issues of uranium and as Kyle informed you or talked more about
last Council meeting, there are higher iron and manganese in some of the well, causing
some brown water issues. Not a health concern, but an esthetic issue. The uranium
issues have been mitigated by drilling -- drilling wells to different aquifers -- basically
tapping into cleaner water sources at different depths. And where that hasn't been
mitigated yet, basically using those wells under emergency conditions only. Fire flow
and things like that. The iron and manganese issues are being addressed as you heard
about last week. Operation maintenance. The city meets all operation certifications.
There really are no reoccurring O and M issues the city's dealing with. The city -- a
major project that they are working on is implementation of a new maintenance
management system, which will be integrated with GIS, which also can then be
integrated with the hydraulic model. Basically bring all those data sources together to be
on a common platform, which is really a good thing. There are planned upgrades in the
city's customer metering system as well in the next couple of years. The one thing that
came out in the O and M evaluation was really just an emphasis on documentation.
The city's doing all the right things. However, they would like to have some more formal
documentation on some of those procedures. So, what comes out of this? Ultimately
it's that capital improvement plan. And so what you end up with from a basic
perspective is you end up with a table with information and a corresponding map and
this is an excerpt, then, from the master plan focused on some of the facilities and you
can see here the top two are focused on PRV improvements to zone one. We have an
inner tie with a reservoir and booster station that you're aware of. Some wells that will
occur over the next 20 years and some treatment. If you zoom in a little bit, then, what
you end up seeing are specific projects called out. Specific feet of pipe and what that
diameter of pipe needs to be. So, here you see red piping that's been identified for the
next five years. You see some purple and blue piping that's been identified for
replacement over the longer and the city will be able to, then, start prioritizing that as
they get into their long term pipeline replacement program. So, the capital improvement
plan from a summary standpoint is about 11 million dollars worth of improvements
identified over the next ten years. Or five years. Excuse me. The major projects there
being the reservoir and booster station that the city has been evaluating. Treating the
iron and manganese and this small main replacement project or program that will be
basically putting dollars into replacement every year on an ongoing basis. Between
now and 2030, based on the current projection, you will need approximately three wells
to maintain the current buffer that the city has from a supply standpoint. One of the
major recommendations that came out of the planning effort and this I think comes back
a little bit to the -- the conversations that were had around the reservoir siting is acquire
well and reservoir sites now for future. Tie those up, making sure that everyone knows
when and where those are going to occur in the future, because you can't be far enough
ahead of -- of those issues. Long term. Ultimately the city has identified about 43
million dollars worth of pipe replacements. Now, that likely will not occur -- it will
probably be over 50 plus years. The other thing the city needs to identify really -- and
Meridian City Council
May 16, 2012
Page 12 of 17
this is something that doesn't -- you can't take it out of a textbook -- is what is a pipeline
life span in the City of Meridian. Is it seventy-five years? Is it a hundred years? Is it
more than a hundred years? And that varies a lot by the ..quality of your water and the
soil -- the crusivity of soils and things like that. So, as the city continues to replace
some of these undersized pipes they will be able to assess the condition of those mains
and start coming up with a more definitive long-term plan in terms of what -- what that
life span should be. So, as noted, financial review was conducted and this, basically,
looks at, you know, the city's rate and connection charges compared to what you need
to spend over the next five years at a minimum from a capital improvement standpoint.
Bottom line there is the city has adequate reserves to pay for those improvements and
maintain a positive fund balance. In fact, there will be no degradation of that fund
balance with the current improvements and rate structure in place. So, that's great
news. So, from a summary standpoint continue to be proactive. I mean that's just one
of those things that I really commend the City of Meridian on. I'm a lucky individual in
that I get to focus on a specific type of engineering. I do water master planning,
collection system planning, and that is it. And so I do this work all over the region and
have done over 75 of these type of projects in my career. The City of Meridian is in the
top two percent of those. You guys are doing a great job. You are proactive and
particularly right now to be in the financial position you are it's pretty amazing. So, I
commend you on that. So, continue to be proactive, both from a financial standpoint, as
well as looking at this pipe replacement program. That's something else that most
utilities are just talking about at this point, have not started implementing. That's really
important and good. The long term water supply planning is another one. I think that
we all can agree that 50 years from now water is going to be a much more precious and
costly commodity in the valley and the more we can do to make sure we are in front of
that the better. Kyle took the initiative in parallel with this planning effort to get the
conservation plan off the ground. First one they have done here. No other utility in the
states that I'm aware of really has one at this point and, once again, not required by
DEQ, so leading the charge there as well. You have done a great job updating your
planning document every five plus or minus years and this, you know, is really from a
number of perspectives important. Changing water quality both from a quantity and
quality standpoint. Changing regulations. And, then, changing populations growth is
probably the most important one for the City of Meridian in that you have seen some
wild swings in terms of population growth. And -- well, I guess kind of rechecking where
you're at every five years I think is critically important. That's my portion. Kyle is going
to come back up and -- sneak up on me -- and talk about the conservation plan real
quick.
Radek: Yeah. Just real briefly, Madam Mayor and Council Members, just kind of a
reminder of where we have been with the conservation plan. I believe you have taken a
look at it a couple times and it was about the end of December, beginning of January
where I said I think we are ready to go, but I'm going to bring this back when we get the
water master plan done and I will try to get them both adopted at the same time. Just a
brief recap. We had that working group -- the working group made some good
recommendations on -- on proposed conservation actions to take and there is not a lot
in there that says you have to go do this, you have to go spend this money now. You

have to, you know, give away shower heads and give, you know, rebates for washing
machines and things like that. It's very conservative. It's very -- I guess the word I'm
looking for is incremental in order to try to get a conservation atmosphere in the city
established over the course of years. I do have one of my working group members
here. One of the faithful. I don't know if you remember Andy Roman from my last
presentation, but if I had to I could call him up here and he would have to say, you
know, great things about me, but you don't need -- you don't need to hear that again.
You probably don't need to hear that again. So, unless he's got some specific things to
say, he's probably just here to see what happens. But with that let's go to the next slide
and we will go ahead and wrap up and we would be happy to stand for any questions
you have general or about -- more specific about the master plan and conservation plan
and, as I said at the beginning, our hope is to get the plan adopted. Alternatively you
could choose to adopt one or the other or wait two weeks for both and I could bring it
back.
De Weerd: Thank you, Kyle. And thank you, David. Any questions for either?
Zaremba: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: It's wonderful to hear that we are in good shape and apparently going the
right direction. I really appreciate the work that's been done on this and the study.
have kind of an off-the-wall question that just occurred to me and things like that happen
once in awhile. I don't know whether this is legal or not, but if we have sufficient water
rights and the ability to produce it, would we be able to sell water to other outside
entities that are struggling and not doing as well as we are? I mean that's not part of the
plan now, but if we look far enough ahead is that legal or possible or --
Radek: Council Member Zaremba, Madam Mayor, I don't think that municipalities are
allowed to do that. I'm not sure.
Stangel: The challenge is your water rights are typically tied to a service area boundary
and so you run into some challenges once you go beyond that.
Zaremba: All right. Thank you.
De Weerd: Any other questions?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Kyle, on the -- on the wells --
De Weerd: Mr. Bird, will you pull your mike --
Meridian City Council
May 16, 2012
Page 14 of 17
Bird: Oh. I'm sorry. Kyle, on the wells we got 20 of them in service now. Do we have
any backups that are -- that are not online all the time in case one goes down or
something? Do we have any that are workable, but not online?
Radek: Councilman Bird, good question. That number 20, that includes, for example,
Well 23, which is considered an active well, but is in backup status.
Bird: Okay.
Radek: So, it's sitting there waiting for something bad to happen, so that it can turn on.
But we have not had to turn that well on in several years. Thankfully so, because if we
do we have to tell everybody that we, you know, put uranium into the system above the
NCL and we really don't want to tell them that.
Bird: And -- follow-up, Mayor, if I may. Reservoirs. I know we got a pond we are
looking at in one area. How many more reservoirs within the next is 20 years do you
think we will need to -- if our population continues as is?
Radek: Councilman Bird, I'm going to try to answer that and, then, I'm going to defer to
David, because I know this is something he specifically addressed and we have a need
for a reservoir that we are currently looking at and the analysis was done in the master
plan of how we meet our demands, reservoirs versus wells, and reservoirs and going
the all well scenario is still a possibility. It's not something we want to do because of the
cost. Ultimately I think it was I think 2030 we end up with a zone two issue if we don't
put some storage out there, see kind of size -- two million gallon type and in -- in my
mind I think the ultimate build out -- I think you're probably looking at something in
neighborhood of four to five reservoirs of the type that we have -- type and size that we
have seen. I'm not sure if that's in the ballpark you're thinking of, Dave.
Stangel: Yeah. Ultimately I think we could get away with one less than that. But it's
probably in that three to five range ultimately and, once again, we throw out some big
water usage numbers there and we will have to see how that actually develops over the
next 20 years. But, really, this initial reservoir required in the relatively near term -- and
that really gets you good about 20 years. So, in that 20 -- towards the end of that 20
years time frame you will need to be thinking about another one for sure. Once again,
that's all based on current projections, so we will see what happens.
Bird: Thank you.
De Weerd: Any other questions or comments? Well, thank you very much.
Radek: Madam Mayor and Councilmen, thank you for your time.

De Weerd: As Kyle did ask what you would like to do at this point, would you like to set
it out on a future agenda? Would you like to consider action this evening? What is your
desire?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: David, what do you -- are you guys ready to go forward? What do we need, a
resolution or an ordinance?
Rountree: Just adopt it.
Bird: Just adopt the plan.
Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, a resolution is a good tracking
mechanism. If you -- if it's important for Public Works to pass it tonight, we can bring a
resolution next week to simply ratify that or if it can wait a week we can put it on next
week with a resolution and that way there is a better tracking tool with it.
Bird: Madam Mayor, I -- I read the executive summary, but I haven't read all 46 pages
of the rest, but -- and I have no problem with the executive summary. I think it's
something that we do need you to adopt in a resolution so that we do have a way of
tracking it or future councils.
Hoaglun: And, Madam Mayor, wouldn't we also need the conservation plan as well?
Bird: Yeah.
Hoaglun: And probably do it at the same time, if that works.
De Weerd: Okay. So, we will set this to the next agenda on the 22nd. Can everything
be put together by then?
Nary: Yes.
De Weerd: Okay. Very good.
Rountree: And that's for a resolution?
Nary: Yes.
Rountree: Okay.
Zaremba: And, Madam Mayor, I was just going to add, I've had the opportunity to have
some further discussions on these topics as well and I think it's ready to go and as has
Meridian City Council

been stated it's something that's going to be relooked at every once in awhile as it
develops and the world changes, so I think this is an excellent direction to go and formal
adoption next week would be a good thing.
De Weerd: So, staff, any further comment from Council needed?
Radek: Madam Mayor, thank you.
