Item 5: Items Moved From Consent Agenda
A. Amended onto the Agenda: City Scholarship Presentation
De Weerd: Okay. Last week we awarded three of the four of our scholarships and
tonight -- or this afternoon we will award the fourth one. Certainly this award winner -- it
falls a little closer to home, because she has done some volunteering in our office and
just to note that when our -- our teens apply for the scholarship everything is redacted
and so we do have a panel that rates every single one of the applicants and we are just
really thrilled to have Emily Jane here with us tonight -- or today. We are always doing
this at night, so for forgive me. I'm going to say night all the time. But let me just tell
you a little bit about Emily Jane. She's graduating from home school and she has had a
dream of being an author. She's been very active with the city, both as a volunteer in
the Mayor's office, as well as a member of MYAC. In MYAC she was involved with the
community service subcommittee and participated in several events and projects, such
as Rake Up Meridian and the recent dance off in support of the American Heart
Association. Emily has also been active in the community by volunteering at her
church, serving meals to community, being a leader for vacation bible school and
serving as a youth delegate to the Episcopal diocese of Idaho. Or Diocese of Idaho.
Sorry about that. Emily plans to attend the College of Idaho in the fall and she will be
pursuing her dream in creative writing. So, I will ask Ken and Emily Jane to come up
and I would like to congratulate you. As I told our other award winners or scholarship
winners, we know that you're ready for this next stage to go out and spread your wings
and we wish you great success, but we do hope always that you will call Meridian home
Meridian City Council Workshop

-- now I get emotional -- and just ask that as you start your career and start your family
that you will remember your home and come home and raise your family and have your
career here. We need talent like yours. We know that you're already vested in our
community and for that we will be very -- forever grateful. So, thank you so much.
Congratulations.
Jane: I just want to say thank you to Mayor Tammy for starting MYAC and I have
enjoyed doing it this year, it's really helped me flourish and discover some passions in
my community and I wanted to say thank you to Ken for letting me come work in the
Mayor's office with him, it was a really good experience, and I will remember it for the
rest of my life. So, thank you guys.
De Weerd: You know, we get really -- we get a nice closeness with our youth council
members and it's always really difficult saying goodbye to them. This class was more
involved than ever and it wasn't just a few that was so obvious in the past, it was almost
every member and that was really exciting to see and to see them excel and just for the
record Emily Jane -- she volunteered in our office and she put in a lot of hours and
working for Ken -- I mean can you imagine, he just drove her into the dirt with -- I mean
he's a slave driver. Okay. Thank you for joining us and Emily Jane, you do not have to
stay for the entire program.
Item 6: Department Reports
A. Parks and Recreation Department: Strategic Plan Update
De Weerd: Okay Item 6-A is under our Parks and Recreation Department. We will
have their strategic plan update and I will turn this over to our director Steve Siddoway.
Siddoway: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the City Council. We are pleased
before you -- to be before you today, give you our strategic focus presentation for 2014.
Hear from each of the departments every month at these workshops and we are excited
to tell you some of our story. We hope you come away from today with of some of our
recent accomplishments, challenges and what we hope to do coming in the future. We
hope that you are proud of the things that we are doing with the resources that you give
us and to that end we are going to report to you today on some of those things that we
are doing. Past years I have stood up here and given you that presentation in full, but
today following the lead of some of the other departments it seemed to go well with, we
are going to invite others up to the podium and let you see the faces behind many of
these great projects and programs. Our presentation to you today is in these four parts.
I will lead off with the department overview. We will, then, talk about what's going on
with parks and pathways and, then, lead into recreation and what's happening on the
recreation side of parks and recreation and, then, we will take a look into the future
together. First I will start off with the department overview and just a little bit about
staffing. We have 23 year around staff currently. Seasonal staff 48. That is when we
are fully staffed. Right now we have a total of 69 employees. There are only -- 23 of
them are year around. Nineteen of them are grounds keepers, 18 of them are camp
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 5 of 74
counselors, six of them are scorekeepers in our scorekeeper -- in our sports program.
Two seasonal office assistants and one splash pad attendant. We scaled that back
from past years thanks to the improvements that have been made with the UV
improvements that we will talk about down the road in future slides. But on top of that
all of our recreation programs for the activity guide are with independent contractors.
Those vary by which season we are in, but approximately 34 plus or minus independent
contractors help us to put on our activity guide programs and I wanted to point out some
recent key staffing changes. Ali Aldape, she's in the top right picture there, sits at our
front counter. She's not here today. She's at a family reunion and hope she's having a
great time. But she was a greet addition to our team when Janice left and sits at our
front desk there. Shelly Houston came to us from the Mayor's office. We already had a
marketing coordinator position drafted up and ready to present as an enhancement to
you this year and through a great bit of luck we were able to make that transition this
spring and welcome Shelly to our -- to our team as part of the parks and recreation
team and it's been a great addition for us. Frank Keeney is Groundskeeper 1. Again,
not a new position, but the replacement when we lost Spence Shivers. But those are
the key staffing changes over the past year since we were before you last. We -- here
is some numbers. We currently have 240 acres of developed park land. Most of which
are in the combination of regional and community parks. Those are the biggest ones,
like Settlers and Kleiner would be the regional ones. Community ones would be places
like Tulley and Heroes and Bear Creek. But in addition we have got 40 acres of
neighborhood parks and seven acres in our other -- our special use parks, things like
Generations Plaza and others. We have 38 acres of other landscape maintenance on
37 different sites that we maintain mostly by contract. Our current park level of service
to the citizens is right at three acres per thousand and separate from that we currently
own 141 acres of undeveloped park land. Most of that is sitting in south Meridian in 77
acres down there. The Borup property. William Watson, which is a neighborhood park,
and the portion of Storey Park that we are going to be talking about to you for a future
dog park. If all of that were developed today we would increase our level of service for
our existing population to 4.6 acres per thousand. But we know as we develop that land
over the years we will also be growing in population. So, if you look at the 2040
population with all of that developed we would be at 2.4. So, we know we need to keep
growing the parks system as the population continues to grow. Our goal for -- has been
four acres per thousand since I have been here and we are going to look at those goals
as part of the upcoming park system master plan. Pathway numbers. We have about
14 -- just over 14 miles of pathways out there today. A little less than eight miles of that
is actually in the parks, so things like the Bud Porter are in the next line, part of that 6.4.
A still mostly disconnected system, but we are trying very hard to connect that with the
Five Mile Creek pathway spine being a high priority, which you will hear about later. A
little bit about growth. I picked 2007 for a couple of reasons. One it's when I came on
as the interim parks director and, two, it is the year that we added our very first admin
person and you will see with the budget request coming we want to make our current
seasonal admin position a full time. Since our first one was added in 2007 when Janice
came on, you can see some of the growth there between that year and this past year.
Shelter reservations 482 compared to over a thousand. Activity guide enrollments,
1,849 compared to 3,340. 1 don't need to read the whole thing to you, but all of those
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 6 of 74
numbers add up to that line on the parks and recreation revenue also has gone up from
218,000 in 2007 to 470,000 in this past year. Just the phone calls alone I thought was
an interesting statistic. Over 2,500 calls came in and out last month just through the
shore telephone system. That's over 114 a week and that doesn't include all the ones
that come and go from -- from these, which I think probably the majority of my calls are
probably made to and from, but lots of activity at the front desk. With that I think I'm
ready to turn over the reins and let you hear more of the specifics. With that as a
general overview of some of the growth that we have experienced I will turn the time
over to Mike Barton, park superintendent.
De Weerd: Thanks, Steve.
Barton: Good afternoon, Mayor and Council Members. Appreciate the opportunity to
update you on some of the parks activities and some of the projects we are working on.
I'd like to start off with Kleiner Park. We have -- now we have a couple of seasons
under our belt that the park is growing, the trees are looking fantastic. The park is being
discovered. The use out there is just tremendous. Some of the -- some of the recent
additions to the park -- we have added charcoal grills for people to use free of charge.
Our geese management this winter was highly successful. We started a program where
we contracted with a service provider to run dogs in the park and chase and actually
became -- we have fielded calls from other cities and agencies that were impressed on
-- on how we managed that. We had a regional meeting that we hosted U.S. Fish and
Wildlife, Fish and Game, city officials from Eagle, Boise, Nampa -- we tried to get
together and develop more of a regional solution to this problem. We did -- from that
meeting we developed more questions than answers and it's our intention to go back
this winter, get back to the table with U.S. Fish and Wildlife, Fish and Game, some of
our agency partners and develop more of a comprehensive strategy as opposed to just
pushing geese from one -- one park or one business to another. That's where we are
headed with that. In the interim until we can develop a more comprehensive strategy
we are going to continue to chase geese. We have had many many compliments from
citizens that use the park, they were just amazed at how clean it was last winter, as
opposed to the winter before, so very successful. Coming up, of course, is Gene
Kleiner Day, big event in Kleiner Park. We received an Idaho Recreation Parks
Association Outstanding Facility Park Award and an Idaho -Montana Association of
Landscape -- Landscape Architects General Design Merit Award. In addition to that in
partnership with the police department -- we appreciate their efforts on the park
ambassador program. We started that in Kleiner Park last year where we had citizens
on patrol to act as buddy educators and ambassadors, keep an eye on the park,
especially after hours when our staff isn't there. Had a lot of interest, had a lot of
success, people loved it. This year we have expanded it to other parks. We took a
vehicle that was going to be surplused and put magnetic signs on it, so the park
ambassadors can move from Kleiner Park over to Settlers Park. It is a golf cart that the
police department purchased there. They make rounds there. They travel to other sites
where we don't have continual staff there, so a really successful program. This year we
applied for an Association of Idaho Cities award and received that award that will be
presented at the upcoming conference. One of the main projects right now that we
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 7 of 74
have underway is the Settlers Village Square phase two, the tennis facility, the
completion of that area of Settlers Park. Progress has been a little bit slower than we
thought. We had some significant delays that last fall they missed a pave date by four
days, so the gravel pads sat over the winter and the soil underneath became saturated.
So, this spring on half of that it was -- it was a complete redo. Throughout the process
the contractor has had excellent attitude. The quality that they have done to date has
been outstanding. The redo on these pads are at no cost to the city. The project is now
back on track. I hear we have a pave date for the remaining two pads of next
Wednesday. So, once we get that asphalt down they can move forward with concrete
flatwork, fencing, landscaping, all the other items that are in part of this park design.
The parking lot. They are going to pretty much work their way out to the street, finish it
up. There is a -- there is about a 30 day cure time before they can put any coatings on
the tennis courts, so if they were to pave all the other amenities that need to go in we
are looking at an August, early September completion date, but take that with a grain of
salt. They have been moving slow. But I am pleased to report that we are on budget.
The quality is outstanding. The contractor's attitude is just spectacular. So, this project
is moving forward. In addition to those items, at Settlers Park we added charcoal grills.
We did some improvements to the roundabout a MYB, Meridian Youth Baseball park
and drop off. If you remember a year and a half or two years ago the horseshoe club
came in and asked if they could name the horseshoe courts after Don Titcomb, who
was instrumental in the design and the horseshoe club and so the memorial horseshoe
courts are now officially named. Back to the tennis facility. We did receive two different
grants to apply towards the project. We received a thousand dollar grant from the Idaho
Tennis Association and also a 7,500 grant from the United States Tennis Association
that will be used to offset some of the cost of some shade elements that are going in.
Other accomplishments for this year. Split corridor landscape project that went in last
fall. The Generations Plaza water feature upgrade that increased sanitation and public
safety. We are also working on a well for the 77 acre property. I hear that our water
right transfer went through and it's just a formality of getting it in the mail at this point.
We have a contractor. It's been bid. We have a contractor, we are going to give them
notice to proceed and we are on their schedule for mid July. So, that project will be
progressing a little bit later this summer. With that I'm going to turn time over to Elroy
Huff, our city arborist. Thank you.
Huff: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, thanks for the opportunity to spend just a
minute or two with you today. As you can see on this slide this kind of gives you an
overview of the work that's being done on downtown trees since about 2002. As of this
year we will have 33 left to do after we are done with this project and with all the new
boxes added with construction over the years, there is potential for about 152 of these
boxes, depending on any other development or construction that might be driven to
make -- or to build some more of them, but of the existing 96 we should be done in
about five years. Next slide, please. Under urban forestry we still are active in the Tree
City USA, making sure that we are -- that we have that. This will be our 12th year as a
tree city. Did receive an Arbor Day grant this year and had our Arbor Day celebration.
Under strategic tree planting initiative -- hard one to say. This year this is the first time
we have done this. It's the second year in conjunction with Idaho Power that they have
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 8 of 74
provided -- Idaho Power has provided trees to the community. He held that at Kleiner
Park this year and there were 140 people that picked up trees this year. There were
128 of them that were Meridian residents that picked up trees and received 213 new
trees into the Meridian area. In the Boise valley there were 634 participants and we
gave out overall 1,058 trees. So, this will be held again in Meridian next year. It gets a
little bigger every time. We will see how it goes. But I think we are looking at probably
giving away double as what we did this year. We worked on what we could handle this
year and that works by people registering ahead of time and when they do they go
online and do that and they have an opportunity to find out going online where they
should plant their trees for future shade, so when they go home they already know
where they are going to be and where they are supposed to plant them at. So, those
are the things that I'm involved in and still working a tree inventory and planting trees
and stuff every day. Thank you very much. And Jay Gibbons is up.
Gibbons: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, pleasure to be here. So, just an
update on our -- the city's pathway program. Currently underway is Five Mile Creek
pathway. Segment E runs from Linder to Ten Mile. I can say that paving is underway.
It started this morning. Will be done tomorrow afternoon with that section. We
coordinated with ACHD to pave across their -- their maintenance road to connect to the
sidewalk near the intersection of Linder and Ustick. So, that's another 2,700 lineal feel
of pathway to add to our inventory. This past year during this year we implemented a
pathway distance signage program and we installed the initial ones in -- along the Bud
Porter pathway from Meridian to Linder. These -- they are thermal plastic markers that
you -- you melt onto the pathway itself. It notes every tenth of a mile measured from the
center line of Meridian Road to Linder. So, there is 11 of them on that pathway. And
moving forward we also have an agreement with ACHD, so that in instances where our
-- there is a disconnect and you have to go on the sidewalk or the roadway to get to the
next segment of pathway -- for instance, along East James Court -- we have an
agreement with ACHD to allow us to place them on the sidewalks as well. So, that will
help connect our pathway -- multi -use pathways together, link them, for instance, from --
from Tulley Park up Segment E at Linder and Ustick and vice -versa, we can go east
down to North Lakes Place and Fairview. That's a pretty fair distance through -- almost
three miles of pathway at this point taking -- connecting using that program. Also I am
working with the Community Development Department to manage a project to improve
-- or add sidewalks along Idaho Avenue from Meridian west to just past 4th Street,
utilizing a CDBG grant. It will be a fall project. We are in the process of getting a task
order for -- to have survey and design work done. Be working with the neighbors and
homeowners to establish locations. It will all be within existing right of way. However,
there are currently landscape improvements and irrigation improvements in front of
some of the homes that we really need buy -in from those homeowners for the sidewalk
location itself, but currently there are no sidewalks in many places, so we are going to --
we are going to have sidewalks and good for kids getting to school and to downtown.
Some of the other projects that I'm involved in that involve the parks in my title is in this
past -- this past winter we opened a series of improvements in 8th Street Park. There is
now a restroom and an updated new playground and the playground is -- the old one
used to sit right off of the -- the parking area -- separated from the parking area with a
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 9 of 74
fence. We are able to move it back. You can see in the -- in the site plan there, we
moved the playground back away from the parking lot and so there is actually good
visual sequence from the playground back to the restroom and vice -versa, so that folks
with their kids at the playground -- Johnny has got to go use the restroom, she can sit
with the other child and still see the restroom doors. Right now we also -- for this year
we have a Community Development Block Grant to install a picnic shelter that is in
between a series of existing large trees between -- and located between the restroom
and the playground itself. That's on order. That will be here -- it ships the 18th of July,
so that will be installed in August. And, then, we will have all these new facilities and
amenities within 8th Street Park, which is not a big park, but it didn't have a lot going for
it in the first place, so now it's actually quite conducive to family play and inviting to the
neighbors to actually spend some time in the park. And, then, the major
accomplishment at Storey Park of things to come -- we are no longer in dutch with the
Land and Water Conversation Fund and --
De Weerd: What's wrong with the Dutch?
Gibbons: What's wrong with the Dutch.
Rountree: I don't know. You tell us.
Gibbons: We have solved that problem.
De Weerd: Nothing wrong with the Dutch
Gibbons: My apologies.
De Weerd: Sorry, Jay.
Gibbons: Over the course of the last -- the last two or three years we have worked
heavily with the Meridian Dairy Board and the speedway to accomplish a land swap and
the official conversion -- Land and Water Conservation Fund conversion to address the
municipal well that was drilled within Storey Park many years ago and as a part of that
land swap we were able to give a piece of Storey Park proper to the Dairy Board for use
by the speedway behind the pits and in return we get a commercial lot that fronts
Watertower that will allow us to push the parking and access through the park and we
will have two means of access between Franklin and Watertower and that will set us up
to develop the rest of Storey Park. Part of it has been undeveloped many years. So,
we can clean that up and as you can see there are plans in the works to utilize that area
as a future dog park and you will be hearing more about that particular project in just a
little bit as part of the regular Council agenda. And the last thing I want to talk about
today is some of the things that we have accomplished in the past year. We had a
consultant update all of our park site plans and the emphasis was we have had a few of
the newer parks that have a nice site plan that illustrates what's within the park, what's
planned for the park. Some of them didn't have any plans at all and it was a
hodgepodge of different graphic styles, some just hand drawn, some computer
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 10 of 74
rendered, some of them just line drawings and so we hired a consultant to turn around
and update all of our park site plans so they all have the same graphic style and we
have a very nice layout. Each layout -- each cite has as a section with four or five
photos of -- activities are happening within the park itself. The site plan overlaid with the
-- with the aerial photo so you can really get a context of what the -- how the park fits
within the community. We also worked very diligently with the Parks Commission over
the past two years to get some park dedication plaques. The photo, of course, is the
one -- it's for Kleiner Park from year before last. But next week we should receive from
-- back from the foundry out in Melba the 12 new dedication plaques, which are,
basically, 12 by 18, much smaller than the photo from Kleiner, but they will be located in
each of our existing parks, contain a lot of information and important people. So, that
was a long time coming, but we are there now. We are currently working on stalling a
restroom at Centennial Park over the course the spring prior to irrigation season. We
did get -- accomplish getting a sewer connection from -- into the park itself. So, now it's
a matter of -- we will get the restroom ordered and that should arrive sometime in
August as well. So, it will be a quick turnaround on that. And, then, we are also -- as
you are aware, we got a grant through Compass and ITD last year for a -- a Rail With
Trail arterial crossing study. So, we -- the city and the consultant that we selected
signed a contract early in the year expecting that we would accomplish that study by
this point in time. However, we ran into a snag. I can say that we do have a contract
with ITD and the consultant that will be before you -- it's a three-way contract anyways.
That will be before you next week, so -- on Council agenda and that is scheduled to be
completed with the stakeholders and -- and lots of folks involved in that to come up with
ways to cross -- safe ways to cross -- a pathway across these seven arterials within the
city and the city's area of city impact and that -- the completion date of that project is the
28th of November. So, with that we have -- we have come a long ways. Some things
happen faster than others, but a lot of things have fallen into place for these things to
actually happen, so -- with that I will turn the time over to our recreation folks.
De Weerd: Hi. Colin.
Moss: Hello. Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. So, I'm going to kick
off the recreation departments and -- the recreation division and, you know, the theme
between the three of us is going to be that there is just a lot of fun things to do in
Meridian. We have grown a lot over the last few years and the number of people
participating in all those fun things has grown right with them. So, I'm going to start off
with special events. You know, we have several of our own special events -- Unplug
and Be Outside Week is in its third year this year. Cable One Movie Night in Meridian --
we just started this last Friday. It's hard to believe, but we are in our eighth season of
movie night. We have shown almost -- we are getting up to almost a hundred movies
that we have shown outdoors and that doesn't -- that doesn't even include the
cancellations that we have had due to weather. So, movie night has been a lot of fun
over the time. We are really excited about the new season this year. The Barn Sour
coming up later this year. Independence Day celebration. Kleiner Park Live is a new
event that we are starting this year in partnership with Sona Productions. We are very
excited to get this -- to get this event going. It's going to be a six week concert series

out at the band shell at Kleiner Park. We just actually found out today what the lineup of
bands is going to be and so that will be up on our website very soon. Shelly has been
doing a great job helping me put together fliers and we are going to start marketing it
heavily here pretty soon. We have the community block party and, then, we also have a
new disk golf -- disk golf tournament that we are going to be hosting at Kleiner Park that
we are going to set up a temporary disk golf course out at the park. So, we are very
excited to have all of these -- you know, all of our events that have been coming back
year after year, but, you know, in addition to the events that we host, you know, and,
then, also Dairy Days has been here for, obviously, a very long time, there is really a
growing contingency of events that are hosted by outside organizations that we are --
we are very proud to have in our parks and it's -- you know, it makes -- it makes the city
-- you know, the residents that live here know it's a quality of life thing when people
have so many things that they can do on a regular basis, events like the Meridian
Kiwanis Wing Off. The KTSY Parktacular. The Meridian Summer Arts Festival. The
Goldie Locks Ride. These are events that have been coming back year after year to
Meridian because of the parks that we have to offer to them and it's just -- it's a great
thing that we can offer those types of events to -- to our residents. So, we are very
pleased to have events like that and, like I said, there is a growing number. We have
already hosted new events this year that we are hoping are going to turn into those
annual events, like the food truck rally, the Capital Christian Easter Egg Hunt and the
Treasure Valley Kite Festival, among others that are still on the schedule for this -- for
this calendar year. The growth in events has been -- has been incredible. Last year we
had, you know, 43 temporary use permits that were submitted to be in parks and at that
time that was the biggest number we had ever had. You know, the biggest number
before that was 37, 38, which was the year before. This year it says here 54, but even
since this slide was created there has been two more and so actually have 56 events on
the calendar so far this year and in the -- you know, in the middle of the year, June,
July, August, is really our wheelhouse for events and, you know, I have got a staff that I
like to keep track of called event days and as you can see events days on there, well --
so temporary use permit is just -- it's a single permit. Like for movie night I submit one
event -- one temporary use permit, but it's a 12 -- it's a 12 week event. There is 12
days. And so that would count for 12 event days. So, it gives a better picture of how
many things are actually going on on a regular basis. Well, this year in June, July, and
August, there are 59 event days over that 92 day period, which comes to about an
event every 1.6 days happening in Meridian. Obviously, many of those overlap days
that are going on at the same time. Most of them are happening on weekends, but
there is an incredible amount of things happening this summer for people to go out and
spend time with their families. None of those weekends are more evident than coming
up here during Dairy Days when we have Dairy Days at Storey Park, we have the
Meridian Youth Baseball Dairy Days tournament going on, which regularly brings in 90
or so teams into the valley. The Boise Breakout lacrosse tournament has also become
one of those annual events there at Heroes Park and bring in 30 -- 30 or 40 teams from
out of state. Movie night will be that Friday. The Meridian Kiwanis Wing Off will be that
Saturday at Kleiner Park and, then, the KTSY Parktacular is that Sunday at Settlers
Park and so -- I mean there is no shortage of things to do, particularly in June in
Meridian. So, we are very very pleased with all the events that are taking place.
Meridian City Council Workshop

Christmas in Meridian in one that I did not mention in the previous slide, because we felt
that it was -- it was worthy of its own slide, just -- there was so much work that was put
in by the Christmas in Meridian committee to get this event up and running and we are
really hoping that it's going to be a new Christmas tradition in Meridian. The committee
has already met twice and we are already talking about, you know, what went right,
what went wrong this year, you know, we are -- we are well aware that there was plenty
of both and there is lots of lessons learned about that what happened that first year, so
we are very excited to bring it back in 2014 and for many many years to come and so,
you know -- and what we are hoping is not -- you know, bring back the parade, of
course, the tree lighting ceremony, the winterland festival, the business decorating
contest. The symphony -- we would love for the symphony to be a part of the event and
eventually what we are hoping to make it is kind of a dairy days like event where there
is several things going on throughout the week and where different organizations are
hosting different events through the week, so that, you know, families can take their pick
of what's going on during that week. That's kind of the vision for Christmas in Meridian.
And, then, finally, volunteers is another thing that has been -- has been going really well
in Meridian. Obviously, with Kleiner Park there has been a lot of tree planting
opportunities and Eagle Scout opportunities. So, in 2013 we just about made it to 4,000
total volunteer hours and according to the typical value of a volunteer hour that savings
to the city is over 60,000 dollars. So, we are very pleased to be able to host these
volunteer projects. We have Eagle Scouts. We have regular, you know, just like Boy
Scouts or Cub Scout groups. We have churches. And, you know, any number of
different kinds of groups that will come through and want to have service projects and
we do our best to accommodate everybody. We have had several, you know, painting
projects and there is just lots of things that can get done with volunteers that free up our
staff to get other work done. So, we are very fortunate to have the service -minded
community that we have that they can -- they can dedicate this many hours to our
community. So, that's all that I have, so I'm going to turn it over now to Garrett to talk
about adult sports. Thank you.
White: Madam Mayor and Council, thanks for having us today. Much appreciated. Get
into adult sports. Some of the programs that we have, obviously, are basketball, dodge
ball, flag football, softball and volleyball that were existing. Some of the new things that
we have done this last year was add a spring men's basketball league, which started in
February, ran through the first week of April. We also started new programs -- such as
the co-ed flag football league, where you have noncontact passing only, so it allows us
to be creative in that and get co-eds involved in it as well, not just always a men's sport.
Some of the things that we have added to our program from last year at the end of the
fall season, it was traditionally always an eight game regular season and, then, that was
it. So, what we have done is we have bumped the price a little bit to help pay for these,
but we added a single elimination end -of -season tournament to that to allow teams to
really feel like they were part of the league and it went to a playoff system. Another
thing we have added last year -- last year was the first year we had this is just based on
the number of teams that we have in volleyball and volleyball is one of our most popular
sports, one of our biggest sports as you guys know with the gym space and things like
that. So, we are trying to be creative in ways to keep doing volleyball, keep, you know,
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 13 of 74
servicing these teams. So, we created an outdoor volleyball league, which is held on
the courts there. So, that was successful last year. We had 30 teams. First year we
run it, so it was great and it actually starts tonight this year. So, overall with the adult
sports programs we are just trying to be creative with the facilities we currently have in
adding programs that help service the public here and Meridian residents, so going --
and the tournaments, I almost forgot that. Some of the tournaments we host just in
teams of -- obviously, you guys all know about the holiday classic volleyball tournament
that we helped raise funds for the Kiwanis Hope Tree program. So, last year -- we
started that thing three years ago now and every year we average anywhere about
2,000 dollars to help with the Kiwanis Hope Tree. It's all based on how many teams we
get registered for the tournament and sponsors and things like that, but overall it's been
a huge success. Last year was the first year we actually did this. It was a 24 hour
softball tournament for men at Storey Park and literally the games ran through the
middle of the night, 3:00 a.m. games, 4:00 a.m. games, things like that. And it was a
huge success. I'm already getting people asking about it this year. New teams are
interested in it this year, as well as the 16 that were in it last year. The biggest
tournament that we host is over Memorial weekend. The girls fast pitch tournament.
There is several different divisions -- there is four different divisions, a 12-1.1, 14 and 16-
U and 18-U divisions. This tournament seems to grow every year. Three years ago.
Three years ago when we kind of got it handed to us or helped partner with Judy
Crandall and Mountain View High School is -- started with 27 teams three years ago,
then, it went to 30 and, then, last year -- last month we had 41 teams in that. So, it just
keeps growing. In that tournament we actually had five teams that come from out of
state -- or out of the valley to come and participate in a tournament and it just keeps
growing every year with the tournaments. All that kind of equals into some of the sports
teams and numbers, as you will see here on the next slide. These are just the teams
and so you can see the upward trend that we have going with teams. Some of them are
new programs, trying to be creative, like I said, with the -- or the current facilities that we
have, but the trend keeps going up obviously in 2013 and 2014 we haven't quite
finished with the softball, flag football and dodge ball programs, but we are anticipating
that we will, obviously, beat the number of teams we had last year just with the growth
that we had and those include the tournament teams that we have. If you include the
tournament teams we have, we have over 500 teams that we oversee throughout the
year, if you add the tournament teams just in the volleyball tournament, girls fast pitch
tournament and the other tournaments. So, we are over 500 in that aspect of that.
When it comes to teams it also turns into games, how many games do I schedule
throughout the season -- throughout the year and it turns out to be just over 11 games
per night on average. That's year around, Monday through Friday, on that. So, it turns
out there is a lot of things happening every night throughout the year in games. Moving
on to another thing by the numbers. It's also the usage. As you can see the trend kind
of keeps going up and it kind of, you know, flat lined there. Reason being is literally
turned things away or we capped it at a hundred in the spring and 90 in the fall. Last
year you will see the number of unused was at 77 and if you remember it was a pretty
dry season, so we didn't have rain outs. I think we had one rain out and most -- I think
three games were only rained out, the rest of them got in. So, a lot of those spaces
would be open for rain outs. Otherwise, things just keep being pushed back, back, back
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 14 of 74
and with no lights in the fields it makes it difficult to get all the games in, so that's why
we have the number there. That was like that because of the dry -- dry year last year.
Again, on the gym space and gym usage throughout the year, as you guys all know, we
are looking for gym space and a lot of people are looking for gym space and we are
looking into partnerships and things like that. You can see that the -- again, the trend
there that we are constantly growing. We added a little bit more gym space last year
and we were able to create a spring basketball program mainly because we were able
to get into gyms -- we added Meridian Academy last year to our school district
agreement and Cole Valley actually had an extra date come open to where we actually
were able to get it in the spring an extra one compared to normal. So, use the gym
space, we advertised for adult basketball program and got 20 teams and were able to fill
the gym space. But you also see that some -- sometimes we struggle or I struggle with
my adult sports program is I don't really advertise, because we don't have enough room
for the teams that we do advertise. So, right now that's where we are at and with the
gym space and things I think that's all I really have. Moving on, go the classes and
camps, but overall thank you guys for listening and at this time I will turn it over to
Patrick with the classes and camps.
Dilley: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, thank you again for your time today
and letting us all talk. We appreciate it very much. I just want to run down about
classes and camps over the past year, echoing what Colin and Garrett have said.
There is a lot of fun things to do in Meridian and we keep increasing it and trying to
meet the needs of the population growth as well. So, we have some of our old favorites
as usual. Our marshal arts, our yoga, our fitness groups, zumba, things like that that
are trending and very attractive to people to come down and meet a group of like
minded people from other members of the community that will meet at the community
center and have a workout and we -- we also added a few things this year to our
summer activity guide at least right now. There is where we have -- we changed kind of
the name of our senior whitewater rafting trips to kind of trending in the field recreation
these days is 50 and active and so anybody who is over 50, they want to get together
and go whitewater rafting or go kayaking we also added a family adventure for kayaking
and a womens only to compliment our program from last summer. Those should be fun
this summer and myself or one of our rec staff will escort the individuals going
whitewater rafting. We also have a professional guide that comes with us, so that's a
good fund day of the summer for one of us every once in awhile and what I also wanted
to point out in this, we have all of our -- there is some new programs, as I just said, that
we added and, then, we have -- this is where summer camps, summer camps just
started this week, so I have one foot out there and one foot in here, so we have our staff
all out in school at Sienna and Prospect that has really enhanced our summer camp
programs and our offerings due to the school district agreement that we were able to
secure and with your blessing and so we -- we have locations, we have some day
camps and at Sienna and Prospect and we have an art camp and our outdoor
adventure camp meets at Prospect Elementary as well. We have our sports camp in
Chateau Park and Heroes Park alternating over the course of the summer and, then, in
Kleiner Park we have -- through a contracted instructor we have some musical theater
programs. This year they are doing -- or this week they are doing Beauty and the
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 15 of 74
Beast, so -- performance on Friday. I will be there. I think. Or Shelly will be there. I
know I'm going to Newsies, which is next week, so I will be at that one. Another thing
that I want to point out with our summer camp programs -- and this was a suggestion
from you, I believe, Madam Mayor, to get involved with the library district in my first
summer here, which is two years ago, so -- or after my first summer and, then, so this
last year we kind of implemented their reading program into our summer camps and so
all of the kids in our parks and rec day camps participating in the Meridian Library
District's summer reading program and earning points and reading as many hours and
books as they can to get prizes and things like that. There is a little incentive there, but
-- and the library district also comes out and does programs with us once a week at
each camp and they have some of their -- their staff come out and, then, we definitely
go on a field trip to the library so the kids can understand each summer what their
library can offer them, so we are definitely proud of that partnership and it's been very
beneficial for both of us. Let's see. So, just some activity guide enrollments by the
year. It's definitely been increasing and, you know, due to the population and also just
identifying some needs of, you know, what's been very popular and which classes are
maxing out and which we need more of and, then, I definitely attribute the increase in
enrollments to identifying those needs within the fall and the spring and our community
center itself is just for -- to throw some numbers at you again -- I know we have been
doing that all day, but it's scheduled about 40 to 50 hours a week in the fall and in the
spring and there is about 400 to 450 visitors each week. So, that comes through the
doors of the Meridian Community Center. That's adult enrollments, youth enrollments
and, then, if you include at least one parent for each -- or guarding for each child. So,
there is that many people walking through the door every week and we are glad to have
the space and it's definitely getting its money's worth, so it's -- it's quite packed each --
every week, so just wanted to point that out. And, then, moving on here to Teen Activity
Council. Obviously, part of the Mayor's Youth Advisory Council and as the Mayor said,
prior when Emily Jane was getting her award, everything is kind of -- all the kids are
really kind of involved in every subcommittee now and so we just had such a great year
with MYAC this year and the amount of dedication the kids had this year. Our high
school students in Meridian were -- were just amazing and we had kids dancing at the
trunker treat, which was -- which was really great. That pizza costume was really
awesome. I don't know if everybody can see that. But the trunker treat this year was a
new program and me and Ken just said, hey, why don't we do this -- we have always
kind of looked for a Halloween event to do and I don't know if any of you were able to
make it out there. I know I saw Councilman Cavener and Madam Mayor and Bill out
there and we -- it was just -- there was -- there was kids dancing all over the plaza and
there were -- we had about 70 businesses come out -- local businesses come out and
provide candy and pass out some advertising materials to parents, but -- to support the
event and we shut down Broadway out here and it was just a -- just a really -- really
great event that I was happy to be a part of, but also happy that our students planned
for the community. Ignite Youth is one of my favorite every year where kids can -- we
basically give the teenagers the stage to say anything they want to about the world and
-- as they see it and so we had over 30 applications this year and we could only take 12
kids to actually give a presentation. So, along with that the TAC planned some other
fun activities and this year we did some fun stuff. We went roller skating and went to
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 16 of 74
Steelheads games and went snowboarding and just providing safe, fun activities for
teens to be able to enjoy with their friends. The electronic activity guide. So, what I
wanted to touch base on with this is we have really been -- especially now with the
addition of Shelly -- which we really really enjoy having Shelly with us and it definitely
helps us as a recreation unit definitely and as a whole -- department as a whole really
become more cohesive in being able to kind of get everything on the same page, so
that it's -- it's all interactive with our websites and being able to get that out there in the
media through social media and being able to market all of our programs together. The
electronic activity guide has really proved useful in the fact that you can take our paper
activity guide, put it in a pdf and, then, just put links all over it. So, if anybody opens the
activity guide and they want to enroll in yoga class they can click a button and it's one
click away and they can enroll in that and with the way of the world it's necessary and
what's also great about the activity guide it gives us the opportunity to if they see an
event that they can click on that event and Colin has created an event page for that
event. I have created a page for our summer camps. Garrett's created a page for all of
our adult sports leagues. So, anything that they want to click in this is pretty much
clickable and it will take them to a page that is specific to whichever information they
want to access and there is also a page to click to see how are commissioners are and
a link to click to see who our staff is and so it's as transparent as it possibly can be for
the public is what we like to do, so -- and this is really becoming a useful tool for us and
for access and it's probably cut down on a few phone calls to the office. So, with that I
think we will move to looking into the future and will give it back to Steve to take it on
home.
De Weerd: Take it on home, Steve.
Siddoway: I'm here to wrap it up. What an amazing team. And one person who hasn't
had any slides to present -- but, Rachel, will you stand up for a second. We need to
acknowledge Rachel who helped all of us put all of these slides together. Thank you.
Other things that we are working on include the Rail With Trail project. We have a roll in
the Meridian Road interchange landscaping project. We are actively working on
partnerships with both the Boys and Girls Club and the YMCA. We also have several
ACHD cost share projects that have either landscaping or interim treatments along them
that we help to coordinate and we are -- have hands in all of those with this relatively
small staff. A couple of accomplishments -- additional that I thought -- that didn't fit in
elsewhere that I wanted to note. A major update to the parks code and want to
acknowledge Bill's team with legal in helping us to do that and the partnership policy
that came through the parks and rec commission through the Council and that we are
now actively using with potential partners like the YMCA and the Boys and Girls Club.
Probably the main thing that we have coming that I want to make sure is on your radar
is in that upper left, the Comprehensive Park and Recreation System Plan. You helped
us budget for an update to that plan. The request for proposals for that project is out
currently. We held our pre -proposal conference for it last week. Proposals are due at
the end of this month. We will be doing selections through -- in the month of July and
we hope to be under contract for that project in August with a big kick off early this fall.
So, we expect a lot of activity and public outreach and updating our plans and goals as
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 17 of 74
part of that. We will be doing master plans for the three sites, including the Borup
property, the Aldape property, and south Meridian. We are also going to be working on
plans for two feature neighborhood parks, including William Watson and the one in
Bellano Creek. As you saw I think just two weeks ago, we do have a CDBG request in
for some community center fagade improvements that we hope to do at the community
center in downtown next year. We have two commissioners here today and Phil Liddell
and Kent Goldthorpe, will you, please, stand. Our commission makes a great
contribution and behind all of these activities that you see and hear from staff is a team
of nine -- two of our nine citizen volunteers who help us and I want to personally thank
you and the rest of our parks and recreation commissioners who help to make our
activities a success and advise us along the way. You can see their 2014 priorities.
President Stoll was in front of you earlier this year presenting those, so I don't need to
regurgitate them, but I wanted to just make sure they were in front of you and let you
know that they are actively working on them. That concludes our presentation. Maybe
just in closing I'd just mention that we do have Gene Kleiner Day this Saturday. The
City Council passed the ordinance for that last year. We are celebrating it this weekend
at 6:00 p.m. with a free concert in the Kleiner Park band shell with the Meridian
symphony orchestra, the cost of which is paid for through the Mayor's State of the City
address proceeds and we are very excited to have that as another part of our program.
So, thank you very much and I will stand for any questions.
De Weerd: Thank you, Steve. And I would just note that at the Coffee with the Mayor
this morning -- and appreciate Councilman Cavener joining us -- but it was very well
attended and hands down that was the largest comment that we received is what an
asset that park has been to our community, to this region. Your parks staff continues to
just take such great pride in that gift that we received and it's actually something that
you and I have sat with Mr. Kleiner and guaranteed we would take care of it just as he
had hoped we would and your staff just continues to do that. Recently we saw a letter
to the editor about Settlers Park and condition there. I know I have gone to your staff
meetings and have given kudos to your staff for what they do, the pride they take in our
parks and parks give communities their -- their identity, they help brand us and we just
appreciate what you and your team do to continue to keep that bar high on our quality of
life and how popular our parks are.
Siddoway: Thank you.
De Weerd: Council, any questions?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: No?
Bird: Very good.
De Weerd: Very thorough. We appreciate our two commissioners for being here with
us and, staff, thank you again for all you do to make this a great place to live.

Siddoway: Thank you very much.
B. Parks and Recreation Department: Storey Dog Park Update
De Weerd: We just heard from the department of fun. Okay. Item 6-B is also under
our Parks and Recreation Department. We will hear about the Storey -- Storey Park
dog park -- Rountree Bark Park --
Bird: Rountree Bark Park.
Barton: So, we are looking for a name.
De Weerd: We have a name.
Bird: That's the name.
De Weerd: We have been calling it the Rountree Bark Park I think for -- how many
years, Mr. Rountree?
Barton: Madam Mayor, Council, thanks for the opportunity to give you an date on our
plans for a dog park. As you remember we were before you on the -- at the November
19th City Council meeting. At that time we had -- were asking for direction on what site
to locate this amenity. We had the Lanark site, the Borup-Bottles property on Cherry
Lane and, then, also the Storey Park site. At that meeting we were given direction to
locate our next dog park at the Storey Park site. As Jay mentioned to you a few
minutes earlier we are pleased to announce that we recorded title on the piece of
property and we feel now we have the green light as far as property ownership is
concerned and part of our discussion today is asking your direction for level of effort
and, of course, budget. We have three different selections that -- or three different
concepts that I'd like to review that -- we have been behind the scenes waiting for this
property to close and been behind the scenes developing these concepts with a
consultant and going through that process. So, with that said I guess we will jump into
kind of the nuts and bolts of what we are thinking of developing and, you know, feel free
to stop me at anytime and ask questions. Like I said, we have three concepts
developed. If you -- if you take the major differences between each one -- and we can
just draw a line through this and the concept for -- for each one in the main area of the
park is consistent between A, B and C. The difference between A and B is the parking
area here and, then, Option C does not have any reconfiguring of the existing park
parking lot. So, just to get into kind of the nuts and bolts of the park as we see it, there
is a driveway connection with parking out to Watertower Road. There would be an entry
plaza in that location with a restroom. It will be a single occupancy men's and women's
restroom. As you leave that spot there is -- there is two different areas, one for small
dogs, one for large dogs. And because dog parks are kind of -- they really take a lot of
wear and tear and a lot of abuse, we have tried to kind of think ahead and try to
counteract some of those challenges by -- by creating a hierarchy of surfacing. As you
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 19 of 74
go through the gate there would be an area that would have artificial grass in it similar to
the rec grass that's at Settlers Park tennis complex and, then, as you transition out from
that there would be a gravel area depicted by this gray material, this gray shading right
here. There is a strong desire to have natural grass in dog parks and we recognize that
by including some natural grass areas. But these natural grass areas would be towards
the rear of the park. So, during times where there is inclement weather, frozen soils,
wet conditions, or even during periods where the grass is simply worn out and it needs
some turf rehab, by locating that towards the back of the park we can fence this off,
maintain access all the way around it, maintain still a pretty good size area for people to
come and enjoy. One of the one -- one of the challenges that we have with -- with this
location is just the interface between the softball field and the dog park.
De Weerd: They can chase balls. I mean --
Barton: And I -- and I agree that the chasing part is good. It's the -- it's the getting hit
part that's probably bad, so -- and especially for parked cars. Along this edge right here
and, then, down this entire side where the daycare is, we see a solid vinyl fence and,
then, the perimeter of the softball field requires a netting system that would be similar to
what you would see on a golf course driving range. Not that tight of mesh, but little bit,
you know, open three -by -three squares to catch softballs. So, I think we have -- we
have kind of thought about that and, you know, we are trying to maximize the entire
area. We had one concept that had this setback here and it just kind of became -- we
were really eating up a lot of space in the dog park. I mean we want to get as much as
we can. Right now this plan has almost two and a half acres between the small dog
and the large dog area and that's over and above any parking requirements and
landscape setbacks from Watertower Road. So, with that we can move to Option B and
Option B has the dog park itself, the layout, the restroom and the surfacing is identical
Option A. The only difference is with Option B is it does not have this part of the
existing park parking lot reconfigured and one of the things we like about this is that we
would take the drive aisle and shift the drive aisle to this side of the existing restroom
and through. It does two things. The first thing is there is a traffic calming aspect to that
configuration and, then, it also -- it creates an opportunity to connect the existing
restroom to the park, where park users, if you're at this picnic shelter right here you
don't have to cross a drive aisle to use the restroom. That seems to be one of the major
complaints with that. We even locate some temporary restroom facilities down here,
because people just don't like to cross the drive aisle. So, Option B does not have the
reconfiguration of the existing park parking lot. Everything else is completely identical.
Option C has no -- just reconfiguring the existing park parking lot and it has -- it has a
drive aisle, but there is no parking associated with that drive aisle. It's just a through
way. It is -- we see Option A as providing the best service in regards to the dog park
amenities, the traffic calming aspects, the -- the park parking -- the additional -- the
additional parking in the park, which is in a great demand during softball games and
also events in Storey Park. Of course, you know, with -- with those additions, then,
there is -- there is additional cost involved. And I think right there I will stop and answer
any questions that you might have.
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 20 of 74
De Weerd: Council, any questions?
Cavener: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: Mike, you may have touched on this, but I may have missed it. With Option A
how many new parking spots would be created?
Barton: Madam Mayor, Councilman Cavener, there is roughly 125 parking places with
Option A.
Cavener: And with Option -- follow up, Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Uh-huh.
Cavener: And with Option B and C?
Barton: Seventy-five.
Barton: B has the same number. C has 75.
Cavener: Okay.
De Weerd: Mike, with Option A how many are lost with the reconfiguration up by the
softball field?
Barton: There is a -- Madam Mayor, great question. There is a -- there would be a loss
of approximately ten spots right here and possibly a couple on this end, because this --
this would be the dumpster enclosure located right here, but there is about ten spots
lost.
De Weerd: Have you looked at maybe doing kind of a mix between Option A and C
where you still do the redo of the existing restroom and parking lot, not doing the
parking in the drive aisle in between the connecting finger and, then, doing the parking
below?
Barton: So, Madam Mayor, I think if I understand correctly is --
De Weerd: It's not doing the pavement and the parking spots.
Barton: A pathway to connect down here?
De Weerd: Well, you would still do the drive aisle, you just wouldn't have the parking.
Barton: And that particular one is Option C.
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 21 of 74
De Weerd: Yeah. But Option C doesn't do any redo in the -- that's in the existing
parking area.
Bird: The existing restroom and --
De Weerd: Yeah. Making that safer. You take this and, then, you plug in the north end
of Option A.
Barton: Correct. We haven't explored that. I don't know if we alter the existing parking
lot to ship the drive aisle to this side over here and that goes through full -- full review
and permitting, if that would meet fire code for turnaround, because there is -- unless
these radius -- they would meet -- but that's just a challenge that we could explore. We
would have to see.
De Weerd: I must not be clear, because I'm still saying connect -- connect that parking
lot -- yeah. Thank you for my interpreter there. Appreciate that.
Barton: I apologize for not understanding. So, we could look at that. This -- the
reconfiguration of this parking lot -- I mean if we start talking about budget and, you
know, what implications there are, it's about 100,000 dollars to refigure that existing
parking lot. So, I don't know at that point are we approaching the -- are we getting to
the point of adding more parking or not, I -- we can certainly look at that.
De Weerd: And last question is the restroom, is that restroom being designed similar to
the restroom that was in 8th Street Park?
Barton: It is.
De Weerd: Okay. Perfect. Okay. Any other questions?
Zaremba: I would just comment that I lean towards putting as much parking in there as
we can and I -- and at the point where we are doing the initial project that's the cheapest
time ever to put it in, as opposed to deciding later that we should have put it in and
adding it, but I -- I lean towards Option A. I think changing the pattern in that section
that's on the north end of what we are looking at is a good idea, both for traffic calming
and for access to that restroom, but I also support doing the -- and adding all the
parking that we can add and I'm glad this is moving forward regardless of what we do.
De Weerd: Mike, what was the budget amendment? Wasn't it 1.5?
Barton: So, if this -- if it's Council's desire to move this project forward in this fiscal year,
we would come forward with a budget amendment at the next Council meeting for 1.559
million dollars to move this forward in this fiscal year, plus operating costs of another
24,000 dollars and those operating costs are for parking lot maintenance, grounds
maintenance, Idaho Power, turf rehab, equipment maintenance, seasonal staffing, so --
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 22 of 74
and that's part of the discussion if it's -- if this is a budget enhancement -- I think we are
looking for two things today. We are looking for clear direction on -- on, you know, level
of effort and, then, also timing and if -- if it's your desire to move this forward as soon as
possible it would require a budget amendment and if that's the case we are prepared to
move forward and break ground sometime late summer, early fall.
Siddoway: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I think the quick answer to that is --
so the 1.5 million dollars is the place holder amount that we have in the CIP. The
budget amendment itself has not been done yet and will be crafted after your direction
today.
De Weerd: Okay. So, Steve, as I understood it, there would be some money that was
saved from a Storey Park enhancement; is that correct?
Siddoway: I don't know about saved. We would be advancing the funds and maybe
what you're thinking of is that 22 percent of those funds are eligible for impact fees, so
they wouldn't hit the General Fund. So, 22 percent of whatever the amount is would be
impact fee eligible and the remainder would be from the General Fund.
De Weerd: Okay. But just -- Council, you will hear in less than a month that we are
quickly depleting our capital improvement fund balance. So, the closer you can get to
our placeholder the better. We do not have unlimited funds. So, if you keep an eye to
meeting the needs that you anticipate -- I think extra parking would be nice. Has it been
needed? Not necessarily. If you ask the speedway it is. But for our park projects it
hasn't necessarily been. We are adding the 75 spots that come with the -- the dog park
and so just looking to see if we can balance all the wants and needs, but focus on the
needs first. I don't want to be the wet blanket, but --
Borton: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Borton. I think that was you
Borton: My voice is squawky. I guess a couple of thoughts. Your comments on the
Option A -C blend and the reason behind it, it does make -- make some sense. I know
it's not one that's necessarily presented. If I recall right, the northern portion of Option A
with the -- the resign with the restroom, with a cost of about 100,000 dollars, is a cost
that would be incurred to accomplish that whether it's done in conjunction with the entire
project or approximately if it were to be done, you know, a year later if it was decided to
be added on. There wasn't any -- other than the design documents, any real unique
savings specific to that portion of the project doing it now was there?
Barton: Madam Mayor, Councilman Berton -- and that -- that is -- you're asking about
the new restroom?
Borton: Correct. The northern portion and the redesign of the --
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 23 of 74
Barton: Yeah. There are some economies of scale. Could be done later.
Borton: Madam Mayor? The economy for -- I think it was design cost and there was
some phasing, but it wasn't as though you were trying to capture a huge opportunity that
only existed when you --
Barton: No.
Borton: Okay. And the other question is whether or not this project needed to be done
with a budget amendment in this year's budget versus budgeted in what we are going to
be working on for the next year and the next month.
Barton: Madam Mayor and Councilman Borton, if it's just timing -- if it's -- if it's not
moved forward with a budget amendment and we go through the normal budget
process to receive funding October 1 st, we will -- we will be too late to start it this year.
So, we will, then, be breaking ground next march'ish. So, if it's --
De Weerd: And I guess just to answer that, as we closed the PD dog park that was
when we had the discussion, Council, the -- what we were telling our dog park patrons
that we were trying to fast track this to get it open as soon as we could, but we had to
do it right and so I just wanted to make it clear that when we had this conversation with
Council earlier we did get the nod to be able to share that with the dog park people that
did come and were concerned that they wouldn't have a place to go for -- and they
wanted to get an estimate of when we would have it open. So, I guess it was always
anticipated that we would be coming with the budget amendment and getting this going
as quickly as possible. I guess what we did anticipate were some of the hurdles that we
had to -- to clear before we got to this point.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I agree with everything you say, except we didn't tell the people we were going to
put 1.6 million dollars into a dog park. We agreed to get one built, but we did not realize
that it was going to be to this degree of dollar volume and whether it's right, wrong, or
indifferent, I -- pretty expensive for a dog park.
De Weerd: Well, I will say the place holder in the capital improvement plan that has
been in front of all of you hasn't changed, that -- you're right, it wasn't 1.6, it has been
1.5, so -- Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: I just would comment that the alternatives are to put the dog park someplace
else, which probably would have been more expensive and there would still be a cost to
develop this even if we made a ball field out of it. The cost of putting in the through
drive and the parking would exist no matter what you put there, whether it's a ball park
or a dog park or even open grass with some chairs. So, some of this cost -- if we are
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 24 of 74
going to develop it at all doesn't go away. I mean the difference between doing
something else on this property and still having a to do a dog park somewhere else
would put it way over the amount that we are looking at now in my opinion.
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: My recollection of all of this is that at one point in time there was an
agreement made between the dog park people, the city, and the police department to
utilize the canine operation on a temporary basis for a dog park, which we did. Which
became pretty much a permanent operation. In the meantime, the dog supporting
patrons organized and put together a group to raise funds for a dog park that was
scoped and thought to be in the Borup property at some point in time in the future. Now
we have gone from that to having the police department expand on their property, on
their facility, to eliminate the dog park and an indication that we are going to create
another dog park and I agree with Councilman Bird, we didn't put a number on it and
there may be a place holder in the budget, but there is a lot of place holders in the
budget that in my opinion, as we go through the next budget process, there may be
some place holders that are eliminated. I can't agree with spending 1.6 million dollars
on a dog park as a need for the city, particularly with the partnership that we were told
existed that was going to help raise funds to do this that we are apparently just going to
blow off. Now, the last I heard they hadn't done much in terms of raising funds, but the
partnerships we have had in the past they haven't necessarily completely paid for
projects, but they have been significant contributors in getting them done. So, I just -- I
think this is a lovely concept, I think it's probably -- gets into the wants area, as opposed
to the need. It might be something that we ultimately have with that piece of property,
but I -- if we are going to consider that kind of an expense I think it needs to be
considered in total as we look at our budget and what our true needs are and I guess
what I'm saying this is -- this is really low on my priority list for the need for the city in
terms of budget considerations right now and that's where I am, that's where I have
always been. Nothing new to anybody.
De Weerd: No, but I guess it was three and a half years ago we saw the true number
anticipated of dog owners in our community and this -- they have as much opportunity
or I guess right to expect a park that -- to be used by what's important to them and that
is their dogs and to many dog owners their dogs are their kids and they don't have kids.
So, the youth sport facilities that we spend millions of dollars in, that doesn't speak to
them. A dog park does. We have talked about how we can make this something that
will be an asset to those citizens that this is a priority to at the most affordable cost and
we have had many conversations about do you really need to a restroom down there
when you have one not too far and so we have tried to be cost conscious about that.
There is no doubt there is a need for a dog park and a place in our community to run
dogs and -- and that's why we moved forward with this conversation to begin with and
spent a lot of time and resources bringing these options back to this Council. I don't
know if developing, as Councilman Zaremba put -- developing this piece, whether it's for
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 25 of 74
a dog park or anything else, that the price would be that different, because there are
elements to it that you have to have in that drive aisle and the parking is one of the
largest costs to this to begin with. So, I don't know what -- what we can do any different,
but I will tell you that there are many dog owners that look at the money we put into a
tennis facility and would argue the same thing. So, we don't want to go down there. We
are trying to offer a park system that meets our citizens' interests and their -- what they
have expressed as needs and this has been a need that's been identified for a number
of years and so I don't know how else to answer to that.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I -- while I agree that we need a dog park I don't know as we need to spend this.
And when you compare this to recreation, there is no comparison. Recreation brings
revenue in. I don't know as a dog park ever brought a penny in. So, we don't want to
go that route of comparing what -- what's good for one part of the community and what's
not. All my concern is is 1.6 million for a dog park that -- I mean I don't think dogs care
whether they run on grass, gravel or weeds. None of mine ever did. But while I'd like to
see this in, right now I think there is other priorities in the city that could use the money
more than that.
Cavener: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: I guess the point of view that I would share is that we have -- we have dog
owners now that we are serving less than we were six months ago. We had a dog park
facility and we are expanding the police department to meet our community's needs and
we made a commitment to our citizens that we are going to provide a facility for them
and for us to sit here now and say, well, maybe not, when the place holder, whether we
agree with it or not, has been in place and we made -- and we have asked staff, based
on that, to come up with a plan, they have met with construction agencies who have
validated the plan and this is the cost to build this facility and I'm frustrated now that we
are saying, oh, this may be something that we don't want to do and I think if I was a dog
owner in Meridian I would be frustrated as well.
De Weerd: In particular that we are having the conversation now, rather than when we
first started the conversation when we moved forward with the training facility for the
police department.
Barton: Madam Mayor, Council, if I might add that, you know, this concept and level of
effort -- part of it was hatched from the dog park users group, those -- the citizens group
that frequented the other dog park and these are not the same folks that tried the
original fundraising, but there is a very passionate group of people there that would like
to see this -- this get built at this site and, you know, when we approached them and,
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 26 of 74
you know, sort of talking about a dog park, some of these ideas, you know, the
surfacing and layout and small dog, large dog, and different fencing and stuff, these are
ideas that were hatched from this citizen's group and just dog parks on a whole are not
for dogs, they are for people and it's a social event for -- where people -- different dog
owners can come and congregate in a space and, you know, meet each other and talk
to each other. There is a real sense of pride and community with -- with these people
and that's their way of socializing like it is people that go to their son's little league game
or daughter's basketball game. It's the same kind of thing. It's just -- it's different
because there is dogs there, but it's really a social gathering place for people and that's
what we are trying to create and we are trying to keep this -- this gathering place as
durable and as nice and as sustainable as possible. We visited other dog parks and
they are -- if they are not put together correctly they deteriorate, they are muddy and
rusted and it's just not a good reflection on the community's parks department and level
of effort with that kind of a facility. So, just some of the background of where we have
been with this. We have presented different ideas to our parks and recreation
commission, they have -- they have been behind this plan as well, so we think we have
done kind of enough out reach and communicated with the folks that this would serve
that it's kind of a little bit of background behind how we got to this point.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Mike, do you have any idea how many people use the dog park?
Barton: Councilman Bird -- or Madam Mayor, Councilman Bird, I -- I don't have -- I
know that the dog park that was removed at the police department was approximately a
third of an acre and it was -- it was very popular and I know just driving by -- I didn't
really do head counts and numbers and stuff like that, but I could say that it was very
very popular and, you know, with that it was -- it was at times muddy and we had sand
-- dumped sand in there to counteract some of that. It was -- there weren't many
amenities. There was no shade. There was drinking water that was accessible
seasonally. There was a restroom there and it's been our experience that if -- if you
have a facility or amenity that is -- that you can be proud of that people are going to
frequent that and I know that I have talked to people that say, well, you know, my
friends don't go there, because it's crowded or there was no separation between large
dogs and small dogs and some of the typical layout and amenities that most good dog
parks have didn't exist at the old one. So, just back to the -- kind of that background in
how we got to this point, we -- we put our ear to the ground and listened to what the
community was telling us and just tried to come up with a concept and a plan for this
site that would serve that group.
Bird: You would be safe to say that average of 15 to 20 dogs a day use that? I mean I
drove by quite a few times and sometimes there wasn't any dogs in it, but other times
there would be five or ten dogs in it.
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 27 of 74
Holman: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes.
Holman: I think I can answer part of that question. I used to live right by the dog park
and utilized it a lot and I would say probably one time that I was there I was the only
person there and that's because it was freezing outside. Sometimes -- there would be
an average of -- between five and ten people, sometimes up to 20, 25, which was too
much for that small space, so we weren't there, but I mean I do have a little bit of
knowledge, because we used it quite a bit.
De Weerd: The chief probably could tell you how many different cars were -- when their
parking lot was full I always thought it was something going on in the police department
and it wasn't, it was -- it was the dog park. So, I think there was a lot of use. It all
depended on the time of the day and the temperature outside.
Barton: And Madam Mayor and -- kind of along those same lines, is that we know we
have a growing population and we don't want to -- we don't want to do something and
find out that it's too small or in the wrong location, it's under serving the community and
that we feel that this site will serve the dog community very nicely for years and years to
come.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird?
Bird: Mike -- and I -- I for one don't want to do something that we have to remodel or
something later down the road. I just have a real problem with 1.6 million dollars for -- I
mean I realize we get the parking and stuff we -- we probably need it. The drive through
is nice, changing the north end up there. But I would be interested if we go ahead with
this. I'd like a head count and I'd also like to know how many are Meridian citizens and
how many are not Meridian citizens. I think you're going to be surprised.
De Weerd: We can't do a head count anymore. We have no place to count heads. I
can tell you what we did in our survey that showed there was a large number of dog
owners -- I have a dog, I would not go to a dog park, because I walk around my block,
but as Mike has pointed out, there is a socialization, just like mothers that take their kids
to a playground, they like that socialization. We have a number of different specialized
parks in the skate park and the tennis facilities and the horseshoe facilities and this is
not unique, it's answering another set of users that have an interest, a need, and have
expressed their desire and we have, in turn, expressed the commitment to bringing this
to our community.
Zaremba: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 28 of 74
Zaremba: I'm not looking at both pages right at the moment, but my interpretation is
that the difference in cost between A and C, about 170,000 dollars or so and even if you
took C and tried to go bare bones on that you might get to a point where the difference
between the two was 200,000 dollars let's say. I think the question is if we are going to
do this at all are we going to do it to be perpetually useful or -- and are we going to
include some of the things that probably need to be done eventually anyhow? I think
when we have made the connection to Watertower Street that we do not currently have
for the rest of Storey Park, we are going to discover that this traffic calming issue is
going to need to be done. The 170,000 dollars to do that and all of the parking along
that connecting section -- I agree that's -- 1.6 million dollars is a lot of money, but I don't
think we end up saving by cutting those pieces out and I guess what sits in the back of
my mind is I think about doing this right or doing it -- or having to redo things later as we
discovery we didn't do enough or whether we even want to do it. I don't notice that the
general citizens walks their human children by my yard to poop in my yard, but I don't
want to compliment -- I don't want to contemplate what would happen with a bunch of
angry dog owners. I think even though we called it an experiment to put a bark park in
the police facility, the general citizens don't think of it as an experiment anymore and I
hear from a lot of people that keep saying, okay, you took the dog park away, now what
are you going to do. I feel we need to do it and even the difference, 170,000 dollars,
that's not pocket change, I don't carry that much money around and it is a significant
thing to think about, but the cost of doing it all at once in my thinking is cheaper than
putting parts of it off and I think we have had that experience in other things that we
have done. I guess I'm repeating myself, but I'm in favor of doing it and I'm in favor of
Option A.
Borton: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Borton.
Borton: I think the parks department has done a great job designing these options and
it sounds like providing the feedback that, quite frankly we have asked. I'm supportive
of the idea behind Option C. I'm not supportive of a budget amendment right now. I
think it's a great idea, but it's all relative to the laundry list of other needs and wants the
city has. I can't get my head around 1.3 or 1.6 being appropriate unless I see it in the
context of other expenditures that we have got to fund and all the other departments
and I don't think a budget amendment does that for me. It delays it a year and I
understand that, but it also provides some time, if there is the dog group or -- I don't
know what the right term is for the large demand or organized folks who -- who would
use this to -- whether they participate more formally in our partnership agreement and
cooperate in some funding effort or maybe not -- provide some opportunity for that
group to speak up or if they can't, then, so be it. At least that's where I'm leaning. If it
delays it, it delays it. I think -- I have used the dog park by the police station, which was
borderline terrible just because it wasn't a lot to go from. So, if it's not used a lot it's
probably because of that. I think this would be extremely popular. You would have a lot
of first time users and it would be a wonderful amenity to the city, but for me I got to look
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 29 of 74
at 1.3 or 1.6 in relation to the other 1.3 and 1.6 expenditures that we have got and see
where it ranks, so --
De Weerd: Well, I sure wish we would have had this conversation when we came
through with a budget amendment for a training center that was well within -- well
outside of what we anticipated the cost for. This is what has been in the plan -- not over
about, but -- and, again, it's been a community promise. This Council -- and yeah, not
the new Council Members, but this promise was made to our community by, one,
putting it on there; two, when we decided to close our current facility and reiterate our
commitment to making sure that it happened, that is why we have been working
diligently to close the deal on the Storey Park's land swap with the speedway and all of
that. So, this is not new. This is in our CIP and we discussed it even then. I just find
this has been a moving target in citing the CIP and not even having much of a
discussion on a budget amendment on something that came in well over what we
anticipated, but didn't have any problem doing that. So, I guess it's going to be hard,
because I take all the phone calls and certainly be more than happy to give them to you.
But why a tennis player or a skater or Adventure Island Playground for that matter or
any playground or walking path has a higher priority than this dog park when we have a
high number of owners in our community that have dogs and have expressed a desire
that this is also something that they would like.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Back up, Tammy, and I know you don't believe that -- what you just said about the
Adventure Island stuff. You want to remember, every one of those things you just
mentioned we had partners that come in with some money or are paying it back.
De Weerd: And the tennis association did not do what they said they would.
Bird: The tennis thing --
De Weerd: We haven't made an issue on it.
Bird: But let's don't -- let's don't compare. We are talking about a dog park.
De Weerd: We are talking about a special use park.
Bird: We are talking about a dog park that's -- that's first class and I don't think there is
a councilman sitting on here -- particularly two of us that sat here a long time that had
ever asked to short change something when it's been needed and you don't compare
this to the safety building. That's for public safety. This -- this has nothing to do with the
safety of dogs or anything else. It's a nice deal. But what -- what would it -- well, I
better shut up before I put my foot in my mouth.

De Weerd: Or I start talking about costs and we can go there if you really want me to.
Bird: You and I could sit here all day and argue the --
De Weerd: And I know who would win.
Bird: I don't know if -- I better shut up.
De Weerd: Okay. So, no Council action. What -- what would you like staff to do at this
point? Staff has come back to you, because this is what we have asked them to do.
Now. what do we want to do?
Bird: Well, it's a dog park update. What -- what do they want us to do. Do they want us
to pass a budget amendment or tell them to go bring one next week?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird, I think what we need is a preferred option and so they know what
steps are needed next. I guess if any.
Barton: Correct. And, Madam Mayor, Councilman Bird, we are -- we are looking for
clear direction on -- on an option. Is it one of these options or is it another -- a different
option and, then, clear direction on timing. Would you like this to be started this fiscal
year or is it a next year project as it goes through the budget process? So, two things.
We are -- we will respond to your direction.
De Weerd: Mike, just one more question I guess on the parking. Is -- what is the
parking need out there? Is there a need for the additional -- so, one option has 75, the
other option has 125. Is there a need for 50 additional parking spots?
Barton: Madam Mayor, during the summer it's -- with softball and baseball and the pool
going and -- and, then, with dog park people added into that, we are short parking --
park parking right now. There are people that use the picnic shelter that drop their
things off and they go park somewhere off site. We have had complaints from the
commercial center to the east that people are parking there after hours and they are
cutting through, which if we do this, we fence that -- and, in fact, part of the -- one of the
discussions we had with one of those property owners to sign the fourth amendment to
the CC&Rs to -- so this is an allowed use -- is they said, hey, you know, it sounds great
to me, I will sign it, but you have -- you have got to do something to prevent people from
parking in my parking lot to access the park. I'm concerned for the liability standpoint --
whether that exists or not I don't know, but there was concern from the neighbors with a
lack of parking on our -- on our side.
De Weerd: So, the cost of this is not totally for a dog park, it's to complete a number of
needs in an existing park that falls short of -- of parking access, safety, and a number of
other things?
Barton: Correct.
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 31 of 74
De Weerd: Okay.
Zaremba: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: Just one additional comment about the parking and my experience is not that
I have gone to tournaments and stuff, but I have gone to the annual city chamber of
commerce softball games several times and even though there is a very small
attendance at that and probably not full team membership, the parking that's available is
completely taken. So, you know, I can imagine if -- if the adult leagues are putting on a
tournament there, we would be very short of parking and the additional parking that
you're talking about may not be enough. The issue about the fellow that needs the
fence to keep public parking out of his private property, that doesn't make any difference
whether it's a dog park or another ball field or even the existing situation without
anything added at this end, we need to resolve that and I have said it before, I support
putting in all the parking we can put in there and some of it's from my own experience,
which is limited.
Borton: Mr. President?
Rountree: Mr. Borton.
Borton: The abbreviated version of my earlier comments is I would support Option C
and have Option C be brought back through with the budget process. That answers the
option and the timing from my perspective.
Rountree: Is that a motion?
Borton: It can be. I will make that a motion and see what happens.
Rountree: Then it's been moved to indicate a preference for Option C and to have the
option run through budget process for funding. Is there a second? Is there a substitute
motion?
Zaremba: Mr. President?
Rountree: Is there another motion?
Zaremba: Mr. President, I would make a motion that we support Option A and that we
try to get this moving this year, which means it would have to be a budget amendment.
Cavener: I will second that.
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 32 of 74
Rountree: Moved and seconded to move forward with Option A and have a budget
amendment considered for that option. Could I have a roll call vote?
Roll Call: Bird, nay; Rountree, nay; Zaremba, yea; Borton, nay; Milam, absent;
Cavener, yea.
MOTION FAILED: TWO AYES. THREE NAYS. ONE ABSENT.
Rountree: Okay. Madam Mayor, there has been two motions made, one was Option C
moving it through the budget process, the other -- and it was not seconded. The other
option was move with Option A and have it be funded through a budget amendment. It
was seconded and it was voted and it did not pass. So, that's where we are.
De Weerd: Should have waited longer.
Rountree: Now that you're back, I will see if I can float one. Madam Mayor, I move that
we move forward with Option A, that it go through the budget process and, then, in
Option A that the project be evaluated into two separate phases. The first phase would
be the dog park portion off of Watertower and the second phase be the additional
funding for parking, the interconnection through the park, and the modification for
restroom facility in Storey Park.
Borton: Second
De Weerd: Okay. I have a motion and a second. Any discussion?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I agree wholeheartedly with that motion, but I -- I don't like it phased, because I
think you -- you're going to be paying 1.8 instead of 1.6 if you phase it and I believe that
if you put the dog park in you're going to need -- you're going to need that parking -- the
more parking, but I would -- I will support it and, then, we can discuss it when it comes
up, but --
De Weerd: Any further discussion?
Cavener: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: I agree with the -- with the option, I think it's the right decision, I just -- I'm
concerned about what we are going to do for our dog park patrons for what would
ultimately be another year in this long process.
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 33 of 74
De Weerd: And, Mr. Cavener, I agree with you, because this is not consistent with what
we have discussed in these meetings. So, any further discussion? Madam Clerk, will
you call roll.
Roll Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, nay; Borton, yea; Milam, absent;
Cavener, nay.
De Weerd: The ayes pass.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. TWO NAYS. ONE ABSENT.
De Weerd: So, I guess I would ask our Parks Department as you look at the phasing to
do it separately, but also any cost savings by doing it together and so that we have that
information as part of the budget process.
Rountree: I agree.
De Weerd: And we will give you modified -- a modification in your budget book to put
this in and you will see a little bit different summary than -- than you had, but it should
still be balanced. Okay.
Cavener: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: Quick question and, then, you can provide the feedback. Can we ask staff to
come back with a recommendation for a temporary dog park facility then during this
time? Is that something we can ask them to do?
De Weerd: Mr. Cavener, I think when we looked at a temporary earlier it was -- it was
kind of money out the window. If you put a temporary together you're -- it's just kind of
money that you can never recoup.
Cavener: Fair enough.
De Weerd: So, we did consider that, because we were concerned about the time
element.
Zaremba: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: I do think it would be fair to ask the dog owners and dog advocates if they
can provide a portion of this cost in partnership in donations and have them take the
lead in seeing if there might be donations in kind or donations of money that could be
used to diminish part of this budget amount.
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 34 of 74
De Weerd: If I recall, ad nauseum they tried to raise money. They were at every
community event and they could get signatures by the hundreds, but to get a dollar --
it's just not this -- there is no grants out there similar to what some of our partners have
been able to do is bring in grants. There is no organizations, you know, that -- that they
can go -- there is no obvious associations like our youth organizations or other athletic
organizations have and I -- that's the problem that they have run into.
Zaremba: Madam Mayor, I -- I may not be remembering this correctly, but my thinking
was that when the Nampa dog park was being put together the citizens took the lead to
go to businesses asking for donations. I may be wrong about that and maybe I should
-- Mike probably knows a lot more about that than I do, but I thought there was
participation on the part of the dog owners.
Barton: There was. Their heart's were in it, but they are not fundraisers and I know with
our own dog park task force that was up and running for over a year that their
fundraising -- outcome of their fundraising was a thousand dollars and 500 came from
Brian Draper, who was the lead, so it --
Zaremba: Not real productive I take it.
Barton: Not real productive. I think we might have used that much staff time managing
the task force.
Zaremba: Yeah.
De Weerd: More than --
Zaremba: I can see that.
De Weerd: Anything you want to add, Steve?
Siddoway: Madam Mayor, I think the -- the talents of a group like that are in advising on
policy issues similar to the commission in that as we deal with user conflicts or ideas for,
you know, naming rights, things like that, the dog park task force type group -- their
talents are really best used there. Having worked with the original dog park task force
for a number of years -- Mike's right, they are not fundraisers, but they are passionate
and great at advising us on a policy level. Yeah.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Barton: Appreciate your time. Thank you
De Weerd: Okay.
Rountree: I will give up my naming rights to anybody.
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 35 of 74
Bird: I was going to say, the naming rights stay.
Zaremba: How much would you pay to not have your name on it?
Rountree: Well, I'm considering that.
Siddoway: Madam Mayor, I can't speak to all of the efforts that were done with the
Nampa dog park, but I know one of their ongoing ones is they -- they have signs with
naming rights for each of the shelters and, then, we are in -- I think those are -- I don't
know if it's annual or bi-annual basis, but they are switched out -- you buy the rights to
have their name on the sign next to a shelter for a certain period of time and, then, it's
sold again. So, you know, that's something we have on our radar for the shelters that
we have here, but we want to get those shelters in place to, you know, get those
commitments.
C. Mayor's Office: Results of the City Survey
De Weerd: Thank you, Steve. Okay. Robert. Item 8, the results of the city survey.
Simison: Thank you, Madam Mayor and Members of the Council. I'm going to go
ahead and kick it off just real quick and, then, I'm going to invite Jason Morado up here
from the ETC Institute, which is the group that actually administered our city survey to
kind of walk through the results. If you recall we did our first city survey back in 2010.
That was really kind of the start of this process, gave us a little bit of a baseline from
that survey. We went through that survey when we selected a different company than
the one that did our first survey and tried to keep the spirit of the questions that were
there to continue with that baseline, but did take out some of the questions, which may
have been point -in -time questions or that might align more with this group's way of
asking questions. So, I know you haven't seen the results. I actually got the last piece
from ETC today of the survey, so you're going to hear the results today. I plan on
following up with a complete copy of the survey that you should get in the next couple
days. I will print it out and put it on your desks for review and based upon what you
hear today and your review I will take back any comments from you and, then, we will
bring back a final survey for you to adopt here in a couple weeks after you have had a
chance to review and look at the data yourself. So, with that I will invite Jason up from
ETC for his presentation and, then, we can both be available for any questions you
have at the end of that, so --
De Weerd: Thank you. Good evening. It is evening now.
Morado: Yes.
De Weerd: Qualifies as evening.
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 36 of 74
Morado: That's okay. Well, my name is Jason Morado. I work for ETC Institute and we
are a market research company based out of Olathe, Kansas, which is a suburb of
Kansas City and we specialize in doing citizen surveys for government organizations.
So, say I'm going to go through the result of the citizen survey we conducted this past
spring -- okay. Anyway. Here is a brief overview I will be going over. First the survey
purpose and methodology. Bottom line up front -- just an up front quick overview of the
survey results, then, we will go through some major survey findings, summary and
conclusion and at the end I will take questions if there are any. And if you have
questions throughout the presentation go ahead and jump in. I mentioned I work for
ETC Institute. We are a national leader in market research for local government
organizations. You can see here are just some of the areas where we have conducted
surveys. We have done surveys in more than 700 cities in 49 states since 2006. So,
there is a number of reasons to do a survey like this. One reason is to objectively
assess how satisfied residents are with the delivery of city services. It's also to gather
statistically valid input from residents to help set priorities for the city and also to
compare Meridian's performance with other communities across the U.S. Some
methodology. This was a seven page survey, which is typical length for us. Most of our
surveys are six to seven pages. We administered the survey by a combination of mail,
phone, and online through randomly selected households throughout the city and the
way this worked is we mailed the survey to 2,500 households throughout the city and
with the mailed survey they received a letter that just gave them an overview of the
survey and on there they had the opportunity to go online and fill out a survey if they
prefer that method. And, then, about a week after we mail out the survey we did follow-
up phone calls to households that received the survey in the mail to encourage them to
fill out the survey and at that time they also could do the survey over the phone if they
preferred. The survey took about 15 to 20 minutes to complete. Our goal was to
receive 500 completed surveys and we exceeded that with 514 surveys completed.
And the overall survey results had a confidence level of 95 percent for a margin of error
of plus or minus 4.3 percent.
Borton: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Borton.
Borton: What's confidence level? What do you mean by that?
Morado: Generally what that means is if you did the survey a hundred times with
different groups of people, 95 out of those 100 times the results would be plus or minus
4.3 percent of these results.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: How many did you mail out?
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 37 of 74
Morado: Twenty-five hundred households.
Bird: I'm sorry, I missed that.
Morado: Yeah. That's okay.
Bird: And we got -- we got 514 back in?
Morado: Right. Right.
Bird: So, 25 percent?
Morado: Yeah. Right. So, here is a map of the city.
De Weerd: Actually, 20.
Morado: So, you can see the -- your red dots, those are the households that filled out a
survey. So, we had a really good distribution throughout the city. So, here is an
overview of the survey results. Residents had a very positive perception of the city. A
couple examples of that. Ninety-three percent feel Meridian is an excellent or a good
place to raise a family. Ninety-one percent rated Meridian as an excellent or good place
to live. Meridian is also setting the standard for service delivery among other U.S.
cities. Later on I will go through some benchmarking slides so you will see how the city
compares to the national average and the northwest regional average. But just a quick
overview. The city rated 19 percent higher than the national average and 21 percent
higher than the northwest region in the overall quality of city services delivered. The city
also rated above the national average in 49 out of the 54 areas that were compared and
they rated significantly above the national average in 34 of those areas. And by
significant we mean the difference of five percent or more. And planning and zoning
and traffic enforcement should be high priorities over the next two years. So, our first
major finding -- the residents have a positive perception of the city. On this question we
asked the residents to rate various items that influence their perception of Meridian.
You can see the solid blue -- the darker blue were those rated excellent, lighter blue is
good, white is overage and red is poor. And you can see there is a lot more blue than
there is red, so that's obviously what you want. In particular on the top -- the top couple
items. I mentioned these already. Over 90 percent of residents feel Meridian is an
excellent or a good place to live and also to raise a family. And here we asked
residents how well the city and its partners are meeting expectations of residents
related to quality of life and here is a darker blue is greatly exceeds expectations.
Lighter blue is exceeds. White is neutral and red is does not meet expectations. You
see really high ratings here as well. Each of these four areas over three-fourths of
respondents rated them as exceeding their expectations and all of them less than five
percent said they said meets their expectations. So, here is a map of the city again and
the purpose here was to see if there were major differences in survey results among
four areas of the city and the four areas are central Meridian, northeast, northwest, and
south. And what we did is we took the mean rating for each of those four areas and,
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 38 of 74
then, we shaded that area the appropriate color. So, you see here throughout the entire
city -- and this slide is based on the overall quality of city services provided. For this
question the entire city indicated that it exceeds their expectations. And this map is
based on the overall quality of life in the city. And, again, the results are really positive.
Well, you notice here in south Meridian residents feel like the overall quality of life
greatly exceeds their expectations and, then, the other three areas that exceed -- just
exceed their expectations. This map is based on the overall quality of customer service
received from city employees and just like the previous one, the results are really good
overall, particularly in south Meridian. The residents there indicated that they greatly
exceed their expectations. This one is based on Meridian as a place to live. This was
really impressive. Throughout the entire city -- all parts of the city residents thought that
Meridian was an excellent place to live. This one was based on the statement --
residents were asked how much they agree that the city is headed in the right direction
and you can see in all parts of the city residents agree that the city is headed in the right
direction. And this one is based on the value received for city tax dollars and fees and,
once again, throughout all parts of the city residents feel like they are getting their
money's worth for the value received for the city tax dollars and fees. So, the next
finding is based on community profiles and what we did here is we did some cross -
tabular analysis on demographic questions just to get a better understanding of what
some of the characteristics are for residents who have the most positive and, then, the
most negative perceptions for different items. So, this one is based on the overall
quality of city services provided. So, the characteristic -- demographic characteristics
for residents who have the most positive perception of the overall quality of city services
are female, over page 65, live in south Meridian, lived in the city for six to ten years, and
has a household income of 75 to 99 thousand. Now, the characteristics for residents
with the most negative perception -- now, keep in mind there are not a lot of -- the
results overall were very positive, so there is not a big sample size for negative
perception, but for the most negative was male, age 55 to 64, live in central Meridian,
lived in the city for over 20 years and the household income is 100 to 150 thousand.
This one is based on the overall quality of life in the city. Again, the most positive
female, more so than male, under age 35, again live in south Meridian. Lived in the city
less than five years and household income of 35 to 50 thousand. Again the most
negative, male, age 55 to 64, live in central meridian, lived in the city of 16 to 20 years
and a household income of under 35,000. This one is based on the value received for
city tax dollars and fees. Female once again. And this one over age 65. Lived in north
Meridian. Lived in the city for six to ten years. And household income of 50 to 75
thousand. And, then, for residents with the most negative perception, their
characteristics, male, age 45 to 54, live in central Meridian, lived in the city for 16 to 20
years and, then, household income of under 35,000. And, then, the last one we will go
through -- the statement that the city is headed in the right direction. The ones who feel
the most positive -- once again, female, under age 35. This one lives in northeast
Meridian. Lived in the city for six to ten years. A household income of 50 to 75
thousand. And, then, most negative male, age 45 to 54, live in central Meridian, lived in
the city of over 20 years and a household income of 35 to 50 thousand. So, the next
finding is that the City of Meridian is setting the standard for service delivery among
U.S. cities. Next we go to some benchmarking slides. So, now we will go through
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 39 of 74
those. What we did is we compared results for the City of Meridian to the northwest
region average and the U.S. average and the source of these results is the ETC
conducts a survey every year, a citizen survey, and nationwide the survey is of 4,000
residents and they were asked a number of questions that we ask in our typical
community surveys, so the results for the U.S. average are based on that survey and
the results for the northwest average with the same, but of citizens who live in the
northwest region, a total of eight states, and there is about 415 residents that make up
that portion. Now would be -- the blue arrow indicates that the results for Meridian are
significantly higher than the U.S. average. By significant we mean five percent or more.
And, then, a red arrow is significantly lower than the U.S. average. So, you can see
here Meridian -- you rated above the U.S. average in all 13 of these city services, but
significantly above the U.S. average in nine out of 13. So, really really positive results
here. This is the same type of slide. This one is based on items that influence
perceptions of the city. All five areas Meridian rated significantly above the U.S.
average. This one is for items related to the quality of life in the city. Rates significantly
above the average of two of the areas. The one in particular that we looked at when we
do the survey is the overall quality of city services provided, because a lot of these are
more specific items, but that one is just an overall view of how the city is delivering
services and that's the one I mentioned earlier where the city ranks 21 percent above
the northwest region average, 19 percent above the U.S. average. This is on parks and
recreation. Rated significantly above the U.S. average in five out of these seven areas
and particularly much higher in quality athletic fields and number of city parks. This is
the one area that was a little below the northwest region. Rating of road -related
accidents in the community and this is common for communities that are quickly
growing, measure traffic flow and congestion, as with street lighting on arterial roads.
Here we have one on communication services. Really good ratings again. In particular,
the one on the bottom there, Meridian rated 19 percent above the northwest region in
public involvement on local decision making, 11 percent above the national average in
public involvement and decision making. This one is for public safety services. Again,
really positive results overall. Ahead of the U.S. average -- significantly ahead of the
U.S. average in six of the areas. In particular, really good ratings for a couple of the --
as it relates to the police, quality of local police protection, police response time, 911
emergencies. And here we have the one for enforcement of codes and ordinances, just
a couple here, but significantly above the national average for all three. In the next
finding, planning and zoning and traffic enforcement should be high priorities over the
next two years. Now, this is -- this is the -- we call this the important satisfaction rating.
This is a tool that we use to help set priorities and this table is really a combination of
two questions on the survey. First we had a list of city services and we asked residents
to rate how satisfied they are with each of these services and as a follow up we asked
which three of these services should be most important to emphasize over the next to
years and the areas that you really want to focus on are those that received high
importance ratings, but at the same time low satisfaction ratings. So, you can see the
results for those two questions. The most important percentage -- that's the percent
who indicate that service as one of the three that's most important to focus on for the
next two years and you can see how they rank. And, then, satisfaction percentage,
that's the percent you are very or somewhat satisfied with each of these services and
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 40 of 74
you can see how those rank. So, by far the top priorities are planning and zoning
services. That ranks first in terms of the most important and, then, last in terms of
satisfaction ranking. The second priority is traffic enforcement and that's significantly
below the top priority, but that one you can see is like fourth in terms of importance,
11th in satisfaction. So, those are the top two priorities. But programs for youth and
communications are not far behind traffic enforcement as the third and fourth top
priorities. This slide is really a different way to look at the same type of information. It's
also based on the same two questions. Here we apply the points on a matrix and so if
you look at the far right those are the items that are the most important and as you go
left they get less and less important and if you start at the top those are the items that
received the highest satisfaction ratings. As you move down they get less -- lower and
lower. So, the items in the bottom right-hand corner in that quadrant, those are the
ones that received high importance and low satisfaction ratings. So, you can see the
four that are in there, the ones we just talked about. Now, the reason planning and
zoning services and traffic enforcement were the two we pointed to you, even though
programs for youth and communications are in that quadrant, they are both close to
being in other quadrants, so they are still important, but they rank third and fourth in
importance as to priorities. Now, some other survey findings. We asked residents
where they currently get information about Meridian's services and programs. Over 50
percent said from fliers and utility bills, 50 percent from the television and news, 42
percent from the website and also from the newspaper. Those were by far the top four
ways that residents get information about city services and programs. We asked
residents if anyone in the household has visited a city park. Eight -two percent said they
have personally visited a city and three percent said a member of the household has,
and 15 percent said no. Our company does a lot of parks and recreation surveys, so
I'm -- and we have data for that, too, and the national average is about 72, 73 percent.
So, these are really positive ratings for park usage as well. Here we asked residents
what they would prefer to see emphasized in a parks system. Fifty-three percent chose
the development of large, regional or community parks and, then, 41 percent said the
development of more neighborhood parks. We asked residents if they visited downtown
at least once in the past year. Eighty-five percent said they have. And of those 85
percent who have visited downtown in the last year, over three-fourths visited for
leisure, 36 percent for business, 33 percent for shopping. So, leisure is by far the top
reason residents have visited downtown in the past year. And, then, of those who
visited downtown in the past year you see that 59 percent are either very satisfied or
somewhat satisfied with their overall experience, compared to only 13 percent who were
either somewhat dissatisfied or very dissatisfied. It's almost a five -one ratio satisfied
versus dissatisfied. So, then, just a summary -- summary and conclusions. As we
mentioned, residents have a very positive perception of the city. We listed a couple of
examples earlier. Meridian is setting the standard for service delivery among U.S.
cities. You saw how positive the results are compared to the northwest region and also
to the national results. And, then, the top priorities over the next two years should be
planning and zoning and traffic enforcement. So, with that are there any questions?
De Weerd: Council, any questions?
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 41 of 74
Bird: I don't have any. Nice report.
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: What was the definition utilized for planning and zoning services? Or was it
just like how do you feel about planning and zoning services?
Morado: It was just planning and zoning. The way they were listed on that chart is how
they were listed on the survey.
Rountree: Okay.
Cavener: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Cavener.
Cavener: The city conducted a city wide survey a few years ago. Were you the same
organization that conducted that survey?
Morado: No. That was a different -- different company.
Cavener: Quick follow up? Who was in charge of drafting the questions? Was that
something your agency provided or was that something that the staff worked with you
on? How were those questions conceived?
Morado: Yeah. We worked with city staff on that. I believe we used the survey last
time as a starting point, but, then, made some changes from there. We recommended
some changes and just worked back and forth with city staff on that.
Cavener: Thank you.
Zaremba: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: I guess my question would go to interpretation. We have a couple of things
that in my mind conflict. One is our police department and services are rated very high,
but, then, we say we have a problem with traffic enforcement and I'm wondering if there
is any way that the respondents could have only focused on the word traffic, which we
do have a problem with, or would they have focused on enforcement, which to me is a
police department issue --
Morado: Right.
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 42 of 74
Zaremba: -- not a traffic issue and might they have misinterpreted that question to be
about traffic in general, which we do have a problem with?
Morado: Right. I would take that more to mean traffic. We also asked a question on
the survey -- this was an open-ended question -- it said what is the single most
important thing the city should be focused on and the two things that showed up there
were planning and zoning and growth and, then, traffic. So, I would definitely think
traffic is what they were thinking with that question.
Rountree: Interesting.
De Weerd: See, Mr. Zaremba, I thought you would note the question we had about
public transportation.
Zaremba: I noticed what I think was his second slide, the very bottom line --
Morado: Right.
Zaremba: -- the very worst service I did -- I did notice that that was about transportation
as well.
Morado: Right. Yeah. That was providing -- yeah -- opportunities other than driving.
That was definitely the lowest rated, yeah, by a wide margin really.
De Weerd: It's the only one we had a lot of red in.
Morado: Right.
Simison: If I could just add to that, because you will see the results when you see the
full survey. I think it's also the area that citizens have requested the most resources be
put into as well. So, you're only seeing half of that answer. There is another
corresponding to that when you see the full results, but I think you will all find interesting
when it comes to public transportation.
De Weerd: Okay. Any other questions?
Bird: I have none.
Morado: Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you so much.
Rountree: Good stuff.
De Weerd: Although I think we just went down a notch when they find out we are doing
the dog park in a timely fashion.
Meridian City Council Workshop

Rountree: I didn't see dog park on there anywhere.
Bird: I don't think it had anything about a dog park in there.
D. City of Meridian Strategic Plan Budget Amendment for the Not -
to -Exceed Amount of $53,250.00
De Weerd: Okay. We will move on to our strategic plan budget amendment. So, the
answer is no.
Niemeyer: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I hesitantly come to the podium
with a budget amendment. However, I do have the full support of Stacy and the
department directors, so I'm hoping that's enough ammunition behind me to have it
considered. As you know I came before you about four months ago after a director's
get together in which we identified a need for a city-wide strategic plan, so the
departments had an understanding of the overall strategy of the city to, then, build their
plans to. Back when I presented that to you there was interest in pursuing this. We had
an educated guess on a budget of 150,000. After that meeting with you the team that
was working on this, Bruce Chatterton, Tom Barry, myself, and the Mayor, got together
to identify the key components that we were looking for in such a plan and, then, I was
instructed to work with Finance on developing an RFP, so I worked with Keith Watts on
that. One of the concerns that I continue to have on this is a RFP process. Having first-
hand knowledge of this you tend to get a lot of out-of-state companies that apply for the
development of that plan and I think it's important also to recognize we want somebody
that has knowledge of our geography and our culture and our city. During that
discussion Finance recommended we look into a professional services agreement with
somebody local that had a better feel for what we do here in Meridian and knows the
layout of the land. Ironically, at the same time I was working with Phil Eastman on
some strategic planning for the EMS joint powers agreement, so that began the
discussion with the group. They were tasked with bringing this forward to you. There is
local experience with Phil. Boise has experience with Phil Eastman in the development
of their plan. Actually, the redevelopment. I need to categorize that correctly. Boise
when they started their strategic planning process did go RFP, had a company from
Washington come in, left, and they were left with a plan that they had no idea how to
implement and move forward on. So, Boise did end up hiring Phil as part of that -- that
restructuring of their plan. We did get a proposal from Phil. We tweaked it a little bit,
met with him, and came two a proposal that we are comfortable with as a group. We
took that to the directors, reviewed it with the department directors, they all gave the
thumbs up on it. It has a plan that meets our needs. It has three components. One is
the development of the strategic plan itself, the second is developing the capabilities of
the leadership team to effectively execute it. That's the kind of change management
process that we all talked about. And Stacy was very comfortable that within this plan
there will be a business component, so we can evaluate needs, wants, and cost, which
is something we want to develop as well. One of the things that we liked about our
meeting with Phil -- he has done this enough, he said the reason plans fail is that you try
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 44 of 74
and do too much right out of the chute. In other words, you tackle way too much and
you can't achieve it, so you need to make sure the plan is achievable. I think he has
articulated that in his proposal and, lastly, given the discussion on finance, the cost to
the city is 53,250, which is about a third of what we had planned on. Again, still very
comfortable with what is in the proposal to move the city forward with a good plan. So,
with that I would stand for any questions.
De Weerd: Thank you, Mark. Council, any questions?
Zaremba: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: Just on the very last page of his proposal he mentions a couple costs --
potential costs that are not included in that figure and the amendment is for a not to
exceed amount. Meeting rooms and planning sessions we probably can do with very
little cost, but if there are lodging and transportation and meal costs on his part or the --
the providers of the education that's going to happen here, that would be above and
beyond the 53,250. Do we need to account for that?
Niemeyer: Councilman Zaremba, that is a good question. We evaluated that. The
meeting, obviously, we can take care of. Because Phil is local there is no travel. He
has lodging. So, we were comfortable with meeting the proposed amount as far as
what we are bringing forward in the amendment.
Zaremba: Okay. Thank you
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Looking at the budget and the detail, it looks like it's well thought out. I
guess the last item on the budget is 16,000 dollars for deliverables. In our age of
paperless and the idea that a lot of these plans just end up gathering dust on shelf, it
seems to me that we just get either a CD or a thumb drive with it on it and dispense with
the 16,000 dollar expense of printed copies, unless everybody feels that they have to
have one of these as a paperweight somewhere. I'd rather have it -- I'd rather have it as
a thumb drive or on my PC that I can pull and sort and read.
Niemeyer: Councilman Rountree, I can -- I can somewhat answer your question and
somewhat not. I don't know out of the 16,000 what constitutes the hardbound copies,
but the 16,000 includes the updated half day sessions to detail the actions, et cetera, et
cetera. So, I would agree, I think --
Rountree: And what portion of that is deliverable.
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 45 of 74
Niemeyer: Yes.
Rountree: Just a thought.
De Weerd: Anything further? Okay. If there is no further questions for Mark, there is
an item in front of you.
Rountree: Is this your lead?
De Weerd: Uh?
Rountree: Is this your lead? It's coming out of your --
Bird: The budget amendment.
Rountree: -- budget amendment.
De Weerd: It is a -- we had it budgeted.
Niemeyer: It's a budget amendment. We didn't have it budgeted for the --
De Weerd: Yeah. We were going to come back with the amount.
Rountree: Okay.
De Weerd: So, yeah.
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I move that we approve the strategic plan budget amendment in an amount
not to exceed 53,250 dollars with the consideration of reducing that amount potentially
by eliminating printed documentation.
Zaremba: Second.
De Weerd: I have a motion and a second. Just for clarification, we can bring back what
-- a definition of what that is.
Rountree: Okay. That's fine.
De Weerd: Any discussion? Okay. Madam Clerk, will you call roll.
Roll Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, absent;
Cavener, yea.
Meridian City Council Workshop

De Weerd: All ayes. Motion carried.
MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. ONE ABSENT.
Niemeyer: We will get started on it.
E. City Clerk's Office: Resolution No. 14-995: A Resolution
Adopting the Meridian Historic Preservation Plan
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Item No. 6-E is a Resolution 14-995 and it's a resolution
adopting the Meridian Historical Preservation Plan. This --
Rountree: Jacy is going to do it.
De Weerd: Jacy Jones.
Jones: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, thank you for allowing me the
opportunity to speak with you today. On May 8th the Historic Preservation Commission
adopted the historic preservation plan that you have in your packets. It's a five year
plan that provides focus and goals for the Historic Preservation Commission and that
will help guide us into the foreseeable future. This city's comprehensive plan notes the
importance of preserving some of Meridian's small town character and charm while
looking to progress as a community. The goals of the preservation plan mirror the goals
of the comprehensive plan, so that the two documents can work in partnership. A few
of the goals listed in the plan include continuing to identify structures of historic
significance for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places and promoting
public awareness by improving preservation education for various audiences. The plan
also provides a comprehensive list of all structures in Meridian's area of impact that
have previously been surveyed. These surveys are available in full on file with the
Idaho State Historic Preservation Office. Interagency cooperation is crucial to historic
preservation and as the commission moves forward we will continue to share our work
with the state historic preservation offices, so that all agencies have access to
consistent information. Our hope today is that you will adopt the preservation plan and,
then, I will provide a completed copy of that document to the Community Development
Department, so they can integrate that with the city's Comprehensive Plan update in
April of next year. So, thank you for your continued support and I will stand for
questions.
De Weerd: Thank you. Any questions from Council?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: And, Jacy, just would like to congratulate you on the kickoff of the
downtown history walk -- historical walk. It was a great turnout. It was a nice event and
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 47 of 74
I think people were very excited about the -- the potential and excited about the
opportunity to bring other people down to learn more about Meridian.
Jones: Thank you. I appreciate that. It was a really fun event and we have got it set for
AIC actually next week. So, if you are looking for a mobile tour to go on next Thursday,
AIC will host it and you can come -- you will meet at the center and, then, ride on the
van and have Lila give you a little fun kind of colorful Meridian history and, then, we can
do the walking tour and you can get a ride back to the center. So, if you are available
next Thursday take that tour, it will be fun.
De Weerd: And, Council, I think that the Association of Idaho Cities -- what excited
them about adding this to their program is that this is easily replicated in other
communities and could be something that AIC could promote in getting to know the
history of many of the communities within our -- our great state and at minimal cost. So,
this -- they excitedly embraced to be a showcase of a best practice that they would like
to see others replicate. So, congratulations.
Jones: Thank you
De Weerd: Okay. Do I have a motion?
Borton: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Borton.
Borton: I would move that we approve Resolution 14-995 adoption the Meridian Historic
Preservation Plan.
Rountree: Second.
De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to approve Item 6-E. Any discussion from
Council? Madam Clerk.
Roll Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Borton, yea; Milam, absent;
Cavener, yea.
De Weerd: All ayes. Motion carried.
MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. ONE ABSENT.
F. Public Works Department: Utility Rates Discussion
De Weerd: Item 6-F is our Public Works Department. There is only 200.
Rountree: Just 200?
Meridian City Council Workshop

Page 48 of 74
Barry: I thought we stopped talking about that a long time ago. All right.
De Weerd: Yeah. I banned that.
Barry: Yeah. And you're the biggest offender, actually. Okay. Here we go.
De Weerd: I will note that for evaluation.
Barry: I know.
Rountree: Start by taking your foot out of your mouth.
Barry: I figured I would be in your office tomorrow at 8:00. All right. Thank you and
good afternoon. We are here to talk to you about our annual wastewater and water rate
update. We have quite a bit of information to get through tonight, so let's talk a little bit
about the agenda here. First we are going to talk a little bit about the Enterprise Fund.
Amber Christofferson, who I will introduce in just a moment, is going to walk you
through the first couple of agenda items here where we will talk about the fund and a
little bit of perspective on the fund and mostly for the new Council Members and the
viewing public at home and, of course, in our audience here. We will enlighten them as
to the differences and the similarities between the Enterprise Fund and General Fund.
We will talk a little bit about the rate model, its importance, its influence and its use in
the Public Works Department. And, then, we will have to look good and long at how we
are going to move through this NPDES or National Pollution Discharge Elimination
System permit, challenge that we have discussed about two months ago. So, we will
look at the Enterprise Fund and have a look at the impacts of that on the fund and make
some analyses and ultimately some recommendations for future considerations and
modifications to rates in other areas in order to keep the fund healthy. After that we will
open it up for discussion. So, without further adieu I want to thank the staff who have
been so instrumental in helping to put this together and churn the data. As you know
this is -- I get the privilege of presenting and Amber will as well tonight, but the reality is
there is a lot of work that goes into this kind of analysis and it's not just the Public Works
Department, it's across departments, including the Finance Department and others. So,
I want to thank the Finance staff, our water operations staff, our wastewater operating
staff, Public Works engineering and, of course, Public Works administration and
business operation. There is a lot of people who have put a lot of time into this. So,
with that I will turn it over the Amber, who is going to make her debut in front of City
Council today and she's very excited to do so. So, thank you, Amber.
Christofferson: Thank you. Madam Mayor and Members of Council, thank you for
having me here. Give you a brief overview of the fund and when I say brief I really
mean brief. I have 15 slides and Tom took three of them, so it's a good start. The
Enterprise Fund is utilized by all Public Works Department land development and MUBs
and you have a consistent revenue stream and specific uses for revenue, both of which
I will explain next. There are various funding sources for the Enterprise Fund, which
include things such as investment interest -- I'm sorry, I changed that and it did not
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 49 of 74
change. Investment interest, Republic Services, rate payers and development --
developers and contractors. The revenue comes to us in the forms of base fees
through the rate payers, assessments through the contractors and developers, interest
income, donated capital, cash admin fees through our franchising service with Republic
Services, as well as miscellaneous, which includes review fees, service fees and meter
sales. The outlay for Enterprise Fund includes environmental public -- or environmental
programs and public outreach, infrastructure, which is our biggest outlay, as well as
Public Works admin, engineering, operations, expenses, which includes land
development and MUBs expenses also and inter -fund transfers to the General Fund.
Water and sewer are the biggest contributors to revenue for the Enterprise Fund and
you can see with our accounts how we -- we have a gradual growth that we can rely on
that growth year to year. We have had a three percent on average growth from 2007
on. This shows consistent growth and indicates a very predictable growth pattern which
leads to greater fund stability. This is a picture of our title fund revenue. As you can
see the growth and development provides most of the revenue for the Enterprise Fund
and that would be the green and the red pieces of the bar chart here that you can see,
except Todd may not be able to.
De Weerd: Yeah. He only reads small. Small print.
Christofferson: Yeah. Water and sewer sales account for approximately 80 percent of
the overall budgeted revenue, investments, or connection fees account for 16 percent of
the overall budgeted revenue. And you will see a drop in the year for 2007 to 2009 in
the revenue and that accounts for the downturn in the economy and the reduction in
assessments due to the reduction in development and what you don't see here in this
chart is donated capital, which actually amounts to about 51 million over the course of
nine years, which is not a financial burden for us construction wise, however, it
becomes a burden for use when the donated capital is turned over for us to maintain
and operate. So, how do we spend our money? Over a nine year period the fund has
been proportionately shared across personnel and operating capital outlay. Personnel
and operating expenses has been rather consistent every year, lending further to the
fund stability I mentioned earlier. Over the course of nine years each one of these
accounts for about 45 million dollars and that's over an average of nine years. And this
is from 2005 to 2013. So, how does the rate model fit into all of this? So, we take the
input from all of the Enterprise Fund, we take the revenue, we take the expenditures
and all of that and we put it into the rate model. We use budgetary figures and, then,
we load them in the rate model to determine our cash position and if we need any rate
adjustment. And so we -- with the rate model process we start the review process in
October with the CIP where we enter the CIP into the rate model, as well as the budgets
and the budget numbers are entered into the rate model and the assumptions and,
then, we chew those numbers up in January when the budget numbers are audited and
come back and so they are firm numbers. Then we run various scenarios and do
sensitivity analysis to test the assumptions. And, then, we do a final review with Public
Works operations and engineering departments and Finance and other stakeholders to
validate our results. So, we have had a bit of a rate model evolution, which I'm not sure
how many know kind of the iterations we have gone through with the rate model, but we
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 50 of 74
started initially with cash forecasting for this and that included inflation and growth rates
and, then, we did multiple scenarios to be analyzed, which allowed us to make informed
decisions about our financial position, which lent to increased predictability and also it
minimized the impact of the Enterprise Fund by helping us mitigate unpredictable
expenses. And, then, we did version two, which was fine tune to better accuracy and
that's when the execution rate was introduced and we did -- we had more defined
sections and this led to even better accuracy. And, then, finally, to help with analysis
and ease, because it's kind of a last data driven dependent process that's a bit time
consuming. So, I did individual data entry paths, which were easier to keep track of,
segregated the enhancements out so we could look at them in a different perspective
and this contributed to better control and improved data integrity and also improved
confidence in the rate model. And, then, finally, the last one -- let me go back. Sorry.
This is actually this year we expanded the projections ten years and that's a big deal for
us, because we needed to do that for the purpose of integrating all of the NPDES permit
inclusions as far as requirements that we needed, so we wanted to know over the ten
years that we are intending for the permits. So, we consolidated totals and streamlined
that whole model. So, the rate model we know is a very valuable tool to develop -- or to
determine our cash position. It's met its purpose over the last several years, however,
as the city continues to grow our needs continue to grow and we are requiring a more
sophisticated system. We are still feeling confident in what we use and what we are
using to project what we need, however, as we continue down the road with the NPDES
permit and all of that we feel like it would be better for us to look toward a more
sophisticated system, which is why you guys will see an enhancement in a workshop to
look at that financial planning option, so -- so, the current rate model projection. The
current rate model projection we have certain inputs, which is operating reserve we
always have in there and that's to cover operational expenses, which right now for the
Enterprise Fund it's about 5.7 million dollars. We also have the emergency reserve,
which is five million dollars. We set aside three million dollars for wastewater and two
million dollars for water. We also include inflationary and growth rate, plus a budget
execution rate. The assumptions that have had put into the rate model as follows: We
have the population growth factor at two percent, personnel cost factor at three percent,
construction cost inflator at three percent and the operational cost factor at 2.25 percent
based on the consumer price index and, then, operational expenses are in line with the
projected execution rates and our expectations and construction execution rates will
also meet expectations. So, finally we get to the modeling results of the rate model.
So, in the model we split the total fund between water and wastewater for ease, but also
because that -- those are key to our expenditures, as well as our revenue intake. We
account for Public Works admin, MUBs, land development and environmental, we split
those costs across water and wastewater. As you can see in the chart here we have
got the blue line that's running across that is our water fund balance and we are running
fairly consistent. So, our revenue is meeting our operational needs or our capital needs
as well. However, the picture is definitely different for wastewater, which is the green
line we are looking at. We are taking that big dip, but this includes the NPDES permit
and requirements for capital, those type of expenses and you can see the black line,
which is the ending balances tracking with the wastewater and fund balance, because it
has a heavier weight to it. We modeled the rate model more aggressive execution rates
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 51 of 74
for operating and personnel and for those who haven't heard of the execution rates --
and what I mean by that is at the top where it says scenario, we are running the rate
model a hundred percent revenue, so what we are saying is the rate model is planning
on receiving the full amount that we budgeted for revenue and such as personnel, we
are saying we are going to expend 95 percent of what we have budgeted for personnel.
So, operating we are planning on expending a hundred percent of our budget and 90
percent for our capital budget. With all this taken into account you can see that we have
modeled -- that what we have modeled by 2008 we have become intolerant and that's
the bottom line here, the black line. So, by 2018, I'm sorry, we are down 5.4 million.
This is modeling, of course, so it's projections. However, this is pretty consistent with
what we see because of the permit requirements and so if all things remain even,
assumptions and that sort of thing, and we were not to do anything but business as
usual, this would be our cash position after we have the NPDES permit requirements
going through our cycle. So, unless you guys have any other questions I am going to
turn this over to Tom so he can explain the challenges.
De Weerd: Well, he let you deliver the bad news, uh? Nice. Any questions for Amber
from the Council?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you, Amber.
Barry: How did you like that? You caught on that I made her deliver the bad news and,
actually, there is more bad news, so we are going to share it. Okay. So -- I'm just going
to get loaded here, because we are going to go -- can you back out of that? Okay. So,
the bad news. Right? Who do we have to thank for the bad news? Well, there it is on
your screen. It's the Environmental Protection Agency, who has decided that they want
to take the lower Boise River watershed and institute ultra low phosphorus regulations.
Nutrients are certainly a water quality problem in and around the country. However, the
Boise River has been targeted now for ultra low phosphorus reconciliation and so,
essentially, the way that the EPA administers these types of regulations is through the
Clean Water Act and the Clean Water Act -- I'm frozen up here, by the way. So -- I'm
still frozen. There we go. All right. So, the Clean Water Act in 1972 requires discharge
permits for point source dischargers and later one point dischargers as well. We
operate, obviously, a wastewater treatment plant, which is a point discharge and so we
are required to have our discharges permitted under the National Pollution Discharge
Elimination System program. EPA Region Ten has primacy for the state of Idaho and,
therefore, issues these permits. The Department of Environmental Quality certifies the
permits and also certifies the compliance schedules under which permits will be
adhered to. These permits dictate required water quality standards that must be met
during the period that the period -- that the permit is issued. At this point in time we
have been in close conversation with both EPA Region Ten, as well as DEQ staff and
we believe strongly that we will be allowed two permit cycles, each lasting five years, in
theory, to comply with these NPDES low phosphorus limits and that's an assumption
that we are going to carry on throughout this presentation. Okay. One moment, please.
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 52 of 74
Are we broken? All right. Love this technology stuff. All right. So -- okay. So, the
NPDES program is, essentially, as I mentioned, the program that is under the Clean
Water Act that EPA administers in order to issue these permits. But what it really
means to us, of course, is a lot of money. So, the program itself is costly for a number
of different reasons, because the challenges associated with getting to the ultra low
phosphorus limits are typically capital intensive and those capital intensive costs are
extremely expensive, because getting the limit of technology that are, essentially, being
required of us to accommodate ultra low phosphorus is not only burdensome
operationally and on a personnel standpoint, but also very intensive capitally -- on a
capital standpoint. There we go. This is the cost implication I shared with you back in
April of this year and, essentially, at that point in time we had been estimating a dollar
range of about 125 million to 190 million dollars. The majority of those costs being
capital costs and of the capital 88 percent of those costs being capital, of that 54
percent being related to water quality improvements, 28 percent being related to
capacity improvements and, then, 18 percent related to reliability. The remaining 12
percent of the cost to comply with the NPDES permits. This is over a ten year period.
The new permit that's already been issued to us in draft form, the preliminary draft,
shows about two percent of the total cost coming in the form of studies and five percent
of the cost in staffing and in five of the cost in operations and maintenance. Of course,
building additional infrastructure will require additional staff and also additional money
from an operating standpoint to continue to operate. So, this is what those projects look
like over time, essentially. The period between 2013 and 2015 it's anticipated that
about 20 projects will be worked on that will help us comply with the NPDES permit
requirement, ranging anywhere from 17 to 21 million dollars in cost. 2015 to 2018 we
will have 16 projects ranging from 56 to 87 million dollars in cost and, finally, in the 2018
to 2022 we will have nine projects. Not as many projects, but certainly some of the
largest cost projects or large cost projects, between 50 million and 82 million in the
overall cost range. So, that total brings us to about 45 projects and that's where we got
that range back in April of 2000 -- or, excuse me, April of this year, where we got a
range from 125,000 -- or, excuse me, 125 million to 190 million dollars. Now, what we
have done since then is tried to take an opportunity to refine our numbers, because
those estimates that were provided to us in April we felt the cost range was really too
large. A hundred and twenty-five to 190 million is a pretty wide gap. So, we wanted to
put a finer point on those particular numbers and when we did that what we ended up
with is coming up to 170 million dollars as the total cost for what we believe today to be
the NPDES permit challenge. We will go onto the next one, if you can. So, how are we
going to finance this 170 million dollars? The reality is that we are going to need to look
at a number of different ways in order for us to come up with the funds of 170 million
dollars and the time period in which we have to come up with those funds. So, we
revised the cost estimates and prioritize the projects and included capital, personnel,
operations, and maintenance -- as I mentioned we come up with 170 million dollar
NPDES challenge, and we have a timeline under which we are going to have to
accommodate these projects and these permit requirements. First of all, we are in that
permit negotiation period with this -- with the -- and it's not quite a formal, we are in
discussions I should say, with the EPA at this point in time and DEQ. We don't know
how long this is going to last until we get to our final permit. You know, the EPA give us
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 53 of 74
estimates and we have not been able to have any of those estimates come to fruition as
they have given them to us and so the reality is although they indicate that they would
like to have our final permit issued by October of this year, based on where we are in
the process we don't have any confidence that that's going to be the case. The good
news is that the longer they delay the more time we will have to save up for these
challenges that we are speaking to this evening. But when that final draft comes out
there will be a 30 day comment period and, then, after that there will be an opportunity
for the EPA to make modifications to the final draft permit and, then, it will be issued and
once it's issued it will go into binding effect. Now, the city will have an opportunity to
appeal if it feels the need to appeal. That creates a whole other process and delays or
lengthens out the process as well. Alternatively, there could be an environmental group
or some other interested group that appeals our permit as well and that would -- if that
was to be the case the same type of process would ensue. But once we get to a final
permit and once we get issuance, we will have ten years, we believe -- that's what DEQ
and EPA seem to be in agreement on -- and that's what the city of Boise got and that's
what it looks like the city of Nampa and the city of Caldwell will get as well, ten years to
comply. We really don't have ten years to figure it all out. We have less than that,
because if you have backed up the time and say that I need between -- I'm going to be
building projects -- we are going to be building a department project starting at zero time
frame -- actually, we are doing it already and by the time you get to the eighth year we
will need to have all the money necessary in order to continue to construct in the --
through the eighth and into the ninth year, so we want all projects to be done by the
ninth year, so that everything is wrapped up and we can try the system out between the
ninth and tenth year, because we don't get a pass if everything comes together on the
tenth year and, then, we put everything into operation working together and we haven't
worked out the bugs and we start to exceed or violate the permit. So, we are backing
this up to make sure that we have a debugging or optimization time period between the
ninth year and the tenth year, which means we have to finish construction by the ninth
year, which means we have to start construction as late as the eighth year, which
means if we are going to pay for that construction we only have eight years to raise the
funds. That's the challenge that we have. So, moving forward, as I mentioned the
challenge is 170 million dollars and what we have done is we have looked closely at the
ways in which we can finance this particular challenge and the good news is that the
majority of this challenge we believe, based on the methodology I'm going to walk you
through here in just a moment, we believe that we can actually close this financing
challenge much more narrowly than what we are proposing here. So, currently we have
73.5 million dollars of projects financed over the next ten years, which is great news.
So, that means we project in our model the 170 millions dollars in challenges that we
have got from the NPDES compliance, 73.50 million of those -- of the dollars of those
projects have already been accounted for. So, we can just take that off, because we
don't need that funding, the funding has already been projected inside the model. So,
that leaves us with an unfunded gap now of 96.6 million dollars. Well, if we continue to
look at ways that we can finance this particular gap, one of the ways we are going to do
that is we are going to look at utilizing the undesignated or unbalance, which we have
anticipated to be about 24.7 million dollars. Now, as you know several years ago we set
up a regulatory reserve and that regulatory reserve, in addition to a more quickly

rebound in growth, had added to our fund balance. We would like to be able to use that
fund balance to finance, in part, this particular challenge. So, if that's the case we
reduce the gap to now 71.8 million from the original 170 million. So, if we continue
down this track we say what else on the horizon could impact or influence where we are
going to be financially. We know that, essentially, growth has returned to the city of
Meridian and we know -- you know, as Amber did the analysis that growth has actually
always on average for the last seven to eight years been at about three percent per
year. So, if we project out that continued growth over the next eight years at three
percent, utility sales for both water and sewer services will grow by an additional 24
million dollars over that eight year period. So, that -- if that's the case, then, we can
close this gap to now only 47.8 million dollars. But it stands to reason that if we are
going to see additional account growth that the way that the account growth is going to
occur is by the connection to our system, so it's growth; right? We are going to have
more growth connecting to the system and they are going to have to pay assessment
fees for both water and sewer. So, if you project that into the future over the next eight
years how much would assessment fee revenue also contribute to closing this gap and
we have estimated that to be about 6.4 million dollars as well. What that leaves now is
from the original 170 million a gap of about 41.4 million and now it gets tough, because
we have to do something in order to close this gap. In fact, we have to do several
things and that's what we are here to talk about tonight. We have a proposal for you to
consider a number of different things that will ultimately help close this particular gap.
The first one is --
Borton: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Sorry. Mr. Borton.
Borton: Tom, can you go back one slide real quick? Sorry about that.
Barry: There you go.
Borton: Tom, the use of fund balance of 24.7 --
Barry: Uh-huh.
Borton: -- is that today's figure or is that what you believe the available fund balance will
be in seven years when you need it?
Barry: Yeah. The fund balance is based on end of '14, so what we are anticipating is
by end of '14 we should be able to have those funds. Now, the reality here is we are not
going to be writing one check for 24.7 million dollars and handing it over at one point in
time. We will, as we have done with other use of fund balances, be using portions of
that fund balance over time. So, in that way it's somewhat conservative, because what
we are saying is at a point in time, but the reality is it's our growth and if some of these
other functions that we make are more conservative than reality, then, we should have a
larger fund which might help us to more aggressively close that gap.
Meridian City Council Workshop

Borton: Okay.
Barry: Does that make sense?
Borton: Yes.
Barry: Good. At least we hope so. So, going forward we have this unfunded gap, 41
million dollars. What are we going to -- what do we do? We can't, obviously, have this
gap, we have got to do something. So, we have four things for you to consider tonight.
The first one is modify the sewer connection fee -- and I will talk about each of these
more specifically. Modify the rates, consider a surcharge, and, then, also investigate
fee leveling in the utilities. We will talk first about modifying the sewer connection fees.
What we are talking about here, if you accept the proposal, would add nine million
dollars to the -- to the end of fund balance over an eight year period if we elevate the
connection fees for sewer. Now, as you know, when people hook up to the water
system or they hook up to the sewer system, they pay connection fees -- we will go to
the next slide, please. And those connection fees are, essentially, their buy in to the
system. It's a one-time fee. Once they are connected you don't pay it again. The
reality is that when you look at our fees they have not been raised since 2007 and I
want to talk a little bit about that, because for sewer when we do the projections for this
modeling we are not able to get the current sewer assessment fee to cover the future
costs that are going to be largely capacity driven in not only the permit, but also just as it
relates to growth. So, a substantial portion of this NPDES cost is capacity and it's
largely growth dominated. So, the sewer assessment, as I mentioned, is unable to
meet this. So, we need to make a modification to it. If we increase sewer assessment
or the connection fee for sewer only by 750 dollars per connection or per permit, what
that would do is it would elevate our revenue over the eight year period by nine million
dollars and that's based on about 120 connections per month throughout the year. The
current sewer connection rate or fee is 2,749 dollars. The proposed sewer connection
rate with the additional 750 would be 3,499. 1 want to put this in perspective for you a
little bit. So, to do that -- as I mentioned before, we did not have -- well, here is the
regional fee comparison. We are second lowest of the nine regional cities in and
around the Treasure Valley. Our rate is 2,749. Caldwell 1,969. Below us. Nampa is
2,888, so they are ahead of us. And Boise Ada County, Eagle, Garden City, Star, Kuna
-- as a matter of fact, the regional Treasure Valley average for sewer connection
charges is 3,848 dollars. Our rate or our fee is only 2,749. If we were to raise the fee,
like 750 dollars, that proposed fee would still -- it would only take us from the second
lowest to the third lowest and it would be well under the regional average. So, we are
below market considerably as it relates to our sewer connection fee and, therefore, we
think that there is a good case to be made to elevate the sewer assessment fee,
particularly not just because of the marketability, but also -- or the market rate, but also
because of the -- and more importantly because of the NPDES and growth -related
challenges that our experienced and the inability for the current assessment to
accommodate those expenses. One other thing that I would like to point out is the
engineering news record statistics that show the construction cost indices over time,
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 56 of 74
these are roughly equitable to inflation rate for construction. Well, the inflation rates in
construction since 2007 when we last rated the assessment rates cumulatively equate
to 19.2 percent and we have not raised those rates, again as I mentioned, since 2007,
so, therefore, we have lost ground on the construction cost index as well to also give
some additional perspective. But even -- even if we were to do this, raise the
connection fee for sewer only by 750 dollars, we close that 41 million dollar gap by only
nine million. So, we have to do more. And so I want to talk with you about the other
recommendations that we have here as well, which is to entertain an inflationary rate
increase for both water and sewer. To do this what we would be talking about here is
increasing the water rate and the wastewater rates by two percent -- an inflationary
increase of two percent. That would be both to the base rate, as well as the usage rate.
That would add a $1.19 to the average total monthly bill for our average user and that
would generate over eight years 3.8 million dollars. It's not a ton, it's an inflationary
increase and, again, that's still not enough. So, we have to do more. And the next
recommendation is to consider a surcharge on the wastewater portion of the rates and
before I get to that, this is the inflation rate data back from 2010, again, keeping in mind,
that the utility rates have not been raised since 2010 cumulatively the inflation rate is 7.6
percent, we are recommending two percent at this point in time. So, now I will move to
the surcharge. If we instituted an EPA surcharge for the wastewater component to it,
accelerate some revenue collection to help address this particular challenge. Based on
the surcharge recommendation that we are going to make here, we could generate an
additional 15.4 million dollars and so the way that we get there is, essentially, by adding
a ten percent surcharge to the average wastewater utility bill per month. So, what that
means is the average bill right now is about $37.10 or something to that effect. So, ten
percent of that would be $3.71. That would be added on top of the monthly bill and that
would generate 15.4 million dollars over a ten year period. The reason we have
decided to not try to attempt to increase our revenue solely through inflationary rates is
because when we get to the end of this time period, this ten year time period, the
collection of revenues is so aggressive, because we are not going to have the type of
spending we are talking about after this ten year period, that, essentially, we are
overgenerating revenue in the fund. So, what we are recommending here is taken a
modest inflationary increase and as it relates to rates institute a surcharge that sunsets
in ten years. What that does is allows us to finance the challenge for that ten year
period and, then, when that ten year period and all the expenses associated with that
ten year period expire, so does the surcharge. That way we don't overgenerate
revenues and don't overburden our ratepayers. So, that's the thinking behind instituting
a surcharge and placing the majority of the expense from a ratepayer standpoint in the
form of a sunsetting surcharge. As I mentioned to you earlier, we believe based on
talking with staff and the building department or development -- Community
Development, as well as Finance staff and Public Works staff, that there is an
opportunity to look at how fees are levied across the utilities and in particular we have
some information that suggests that customer classes that would mean say industrial
versus commercial versus multi -family versus single family, those customer classes
might not be as consistent as we would like in the way that they are paying for hook up
charges and a couple of examples that have come up in our research have indicated
that there might be an opportunity if we study this further to do what we call fee leveling.
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 57 of 74
That means making sure that we have equity across all of these customer classes. We
think -- and this is a bit of a guess at the moment, we think that if we -- if our hunch is
correct, that we might be able to generate about 500,000 dollars each year over the
next eight years for a total of about four million dollars of new revenue, based upon this
opportunity to inequities if you will in where we have utility connections, without having
to raise fees or rates, at least that's the hope at this point in time. This is a little bit of a
wild card, because we don't quite know if and how much there might be from an equity
standpoint available to post as revenue and, quite frankly, when you look at those types
of things you do run the risk of finding out that in certain areas maybe you have charged
too much and you need to bring those fees down and it can have an adverse effect. So,
we don't really know at this time. But with everything that I have said, essentially what
this does is it brings the unfunded gap down to 9.3 million and at this point in time I don't
have any further recommendations as to how to close that gap, but I do have some
thoughts for you. We are comfortable at the moment, based on where we are, looking
ten years -- at the start of the ten year period, we are comfortable leaving that gap
temporarily as it stands, because of some influencers that I wanted to chat with you
about and their impact on the revenue, as well as the overall funding for the utility.
Before I do that this is what, essentially, the pie chart looks like now. The 170 million
dollars has been all -- and, again, we have got assumptions in here and we will talk
about those assumptions and the risks associated with some of those functions and the
variability. But, essentially, we boil all of that down to a gap of 9.3 million through a
number of different approaches and also assumptions. So, let's talk about the risks
associated with this particular approach. Well, first of all, we -- this approach requires
that we rely on information that the EPA and DEQ are telling us that we will have ten
years to comply. If they tell us we have five years to comply, the problem is entirely
different. If they tell us we have 12 years to comply, 15 years to comply, we have a
different -- we have a different challenge, a different scenario to run, but at this point in
time we are pretty darn sure that we will have a ten year compliance period. This
approach also, essentially, leans heavily on our history, which is that continued growth
is going to occur and we are going to earmark that continued growth to help us out of
this -- out of this challenge. But it's also predicated on continued usage amounts. We
also are wanting to make sure that -- or we are relying that essentially people are going
to use the same amount of water and same amount of wastewater services. If all of a
sudden we have a decrease in the amount of water that's being used and, therefore, a
resulting decrease in the amount of sewage that's used, our revenues go down, the gap
gets bigger. If, on the alternative water rates -- well, water usage goes up and sewer
usage goes up, we close the gap more quickly. That's largely dependent -- particularly
in water, it's based on climate, right? If we have a wet shoulder, it's rainy, we sell less
water, we sell less water, we get less revenue, we get less revenue the gap expands.
The opposite is true as well. So, we are going to have to -- I mean there is some risk
associated with this approach. We also are saying that this approach relies on the
similar delinquency rate that we currently have. We have a certain number of people
that are delinquent on their accounts, they don't pay, we turn them off, so on and so
forth, so we are anticipating that the delinquency rate would be roughly the same. If the
delinquency rate goes way up, of course, the revenues come way down, expenses to
go after them go way up, I mean you can see the gap gets bigger and vice -versa.

Depreciation expense. You know, we have been talking about depreciation on and off
for years. We have the good fortune of being a young city for the most part and that the
majority of our infrastructure has been installed since 1990. The majority of the
infrastructure typically would have between a 20 and a 50 -- maybe a 75 year life span,
so the good news is, you know, we have got some time to deal with the depreciation
issue, but this scenario does not account for any kind of aggressive depreciation
savings or earmarking or even for that matter -- I mean it doesn't take care of the
responsibilities we would have now for replacements, but it doesn't set up a program
that would allow for funding the big bubble. As you know, that big bubble starts in 1990
and it continues and we are going to have a whole lot of infrastructure that's going to
have to be replaced in a very short order. We are, essentially, going to reconstruct all of
the infrastructure that was put in in the city between 1990 and 2008 over that same time
period. The challenge for us is that all that was given to us -- mostly given to us by
developers, but we have to finance its replacement at some point in the future. We
don't have that money available at this point in time. So, we are going to continue to
delay the depreciation expense challenge to work through the CPA challenge. We have
to be comfortable with that. And, lastly, this assumption relies that the
recommendations that we are making this evening are going to be instituted and
instituted immediately. If we delay on instituting any of the recommendations we have
talked about, the gap just continues to slowly grow and that's a danger, because as that
gap grows we have to take more drastic measures to close it, because we are on a time
frame here. We have a timeline and that timeline is something that will be legally
enforceable under the Clean Water Act and come with severe penalties if we don't
comply with the compliance schedule that will be issued to us. Some other influencers,
however, maybe on the more positive side that we want to talk about, is permit renewal
delays. All right. It's no mystery that the EPA was supposed to update our permit in
2004. It is now 2014. Ten years late. What happens if the first permit cycle, which is
five years, comes and the EPA decides it wants to take two or three years before it will
renew to the second permit. What happens to the compliance schedule and what
happens to the permit -- we are not really sure. But it's a wild card; right? Maybe there
will be extensions given, as has been the case in the past. Administrative extensions to
prior permits. And so the second level or the second wave or rejection in phosphorus
and other constituent requirements might be delayed and if it were delayed, you know,
that might give us an opportunity to have a few more years, however long that delay is,
to save up and continue to better finance that. Also, reduce technology costs. The
technology that we are going to be incorporating at some level into the wastewater
treatment plan is expensive technology, but by the time we incorporate it, which might
be six or seven years down the road, those technology costs might come down a little
bit and if they do come down a little bit, say for example nine million dollars over 170
million dollars, we close the gap. But if they don't, well, we don't close the gap. Project
synergies and timing. We are going to try to pick projects that accomplish like killing
two birds with one stone, right? If I can get a project that handles two or three different
problems all at once for a reduced cost, that synergy -- that project synergy may also
help to reduce the cost. In addition, the timing of projects, where we place certain types
of projects has everything to do with how we can fund them and where those funds are
going to be pulled from. And so if we can take some big projects and move them or
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 59 of 74
scatter them in a certain way, we might be able to finance under this pay-as-you-go
scenario that we are talking about more easily. And, then, lastly, we are investigating --
you guys approved a consultant contract for evaluating trading and offsets. Actually
didn't approve the contract, you approved the budget amendment for it a couple weeks
ago. That's important work, because if we can trade or offset the improvements we
have already made at the wastewater treatment plan, we can significantly -- potentially
significantly reduce the investments that will be required from a capital construction
standpoint going forward. So, we are looking for low hanging fruit with the study and we
hope that study comes back and says these are some areas that you can trade these
big expensive capital projects for the same benefit for these inexpensive best
management practices. That's the whole goal behind offsets and trading. So, there is a
lot of influencers here. There is a lot of risks still in the approach that we have taken.
We think we are pretty conservative and based on what we know if we take the actions
that are being recommended tonight, we believe that we close that gap significantly, we
will have to revisit with you in ways that we can continue to close the gap and update
the financial information to find out if that gap is going to close itself by accelerated
growth or some of these other influences or if it's going to expand based upon some
assumptions that just, essentially, don't prove -- prove out. So, those are risks and
influencers. Let's go to the next one. The -- the impacts, essentially, on the community,
on the utilities, the developers, I wanted to summarize real quickly with you. To the
development community we are asking for a 750 dollar per sewer connection increase
and that's in the form of a sewer assessment fee. Okay? To the community, in
summary, we are asking that we increase the base and usage rates for water and
sewer by two percent. Here is the impact. The water base rate would go from 5.38 to
5.49. That's an increase of 11 cents per month. The water usage rate will go from
$1.86 to $1.90, which is an increase of four cents per thousand gallons per month.
Wastewater base rate would go from 8.48 to 8.65, which is a 17 cent increase per
month and the wastewater usage rate goes from 5.43 to 5.54 which is an 11 cent per
thousand gallons per month. So, the total impact on the current bill, then, would look
like this: Currently the average bill for water is about $22.29. The proposal would
elevate that bill to $22.74, which would be an increase on a monthly basis of 45 cents.
Wastewater, average bill is $37.10. Proposed bill would be $37.84, increasing the
average monthly bill of about 74 cents. Add those together you get the total from the
inflationary increase which is $1.19 per month for the average sewer and water user.
Then if you institute the EPA surcharge, which is about ten percent, you would add
another $3.71 per month, for a total increase to the monthly bill of $4.90. So, that
would be the total impact to -- at this point in time the total impact to our average water
and wastewater user will be $4.90, which helps us to close this gap. Let's talk about the
impact on the pump, because if we were to do this -- what would it do to the fund. We
have talked about there is still a remaining gap. I want to show you the picture that
Amber put up, which shows the fund with no -- we take no action, essentially, we have a
couple of challenges here. First of all, we, essentially, become insolvent according to
this model, between somewhere -- somewhere between 2017 and 2018 and the
severity of the insolvency is almost 50 million dollars at its worst. If we institute the
changes that we are talking about right now a couple things happen. First of all -- can
you go to the next slide? Thank you. So, with the adjustments we get this kind of a
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 60 of 74
picture and two important things happen. First of all, insolvency is pushed off,
according to the model, until around 2021. So, we get four more years of cushion;
right? And the impact or severity of the insolvencies is only about 11 million dollars at
that point in time. So, not only do you lessen the severity, which also pushes out the
time frame. What this all means is that, essentially, if we were to do everything I have
just talked about and implemented everything we just talked about today and every -- all
the assumptions and all -- everything stayed exactly the way it was, it still wouldn't be
enough. We would still have to do something. But the good news is we don't have to
do it today. We don't have to do it tomorrow. Might not have to do it next year. But we
will have to do it at some point in time. The key to rate setting and fees and those types
of things is to institute changes as soon as you can to maximize the compounding effect
of those to minimize the overall impact on the community long term and that's really the
goal here. So, we are looking at a situation where time is on our side, growth is way up
there right now. We don't want to wait around for increasing any connections fee -- fees
for six, eight, ten months when growth may or may -- but come back down, we want to
capture the environment that we have right now and utilize it to our benefit and doing so
minimizes, as I mentioned before, the impact with the entire community. So -- go to the
next slide if you would. That is, essentially, how we intend to approach this particular
challenge at this time with the information we have. I want to mention that this situation
could be a whole lot worse for us. And 170 million dollars does not account for the
improvements that have already been made at the wastewater treatment plant. Had
they not been made we would be having to make those during the same period. So,
some of the forethought, some of the modeling, some of the planning, the upgrades that
we have done at the wastewater treatment plant, have all benefitted us and have
positioned us in -- in a situation that could have been otherwise a lot worse for our
community. We been positioning ourselves for this particular day. Remember in 2009
and 2010 we went through a pretty exhaustive rate analysis and modeling and we
increased rates in both of those years. We were slated to increase the rates again for
that third year. If you might recall, it was a three year option. We decided, based on the
information at that point in time, not to take the third increase, because, quite frankly,
EPA was a lot further away at that point in time and we didn't feel like it was -- it was
prudent, based on that information, to institute that third increase. So, that's good news.
Right. The challenges now -- we have got to -- we have got to address this financial
challenge and it's got to be addressed and the sooner the better. So, that's kind of the
point here. Now, essentially, the recommendations, in summary, as I mentioned, two
percent inflationary increase, develop an ordinance, implement that immediately.
Implement the ten percent EPA surcharge immediately, because it's over five percent
we are probably going to have to have a public hearing, so we need to get on that, get
the public hearing started, shop that around, but as soon as we can get that hearing set
up, set up the ordinance, implement that as soon as possible. Additionally, implement
the sewer connection fee increase of 750 dollars per sewer connection. At this point in
time we didn't mess with water. We are not -- it's not a challenge for us at this point. It's
not where our focus or time and attention is at this point in time. We probably should
look at increasing the water connection charge, but at this point in time we have left that
to the side, dealing strictly with wastewater, since this is largely a wastewater dominated
problem. But hold a -- meet with developers and builders to discuss the sewer
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 61 of 74
assessment increase, the needs, walk them through this particular slideshow and, then,
essentially, hold the public hearing as soon as possible and implement that as soon as
possible. And, then, finally, do some fee leveling analysis. We want to audit the water -
wastewater connection fees. We review, assess and make recommendations on what
can be done there if anything and -- and, then, report back to you on what we found.
So, those are the recommendations and next steps. Now, the reality is in Public Works
we always have Plan B and that Plan B for us, essentially, would be to go after a
revenue bond. So, in the event that we cannot finance the gap, we can pull the
parachute out and go after a revenue bond. Now, nobody wants to do that, I
understand that, it's not something that's been in our nature and we have taken a lot of
pride in being able to finance our challenges very responsibly, as we have in the past
and we know, however, that this challenge is probably the biggest challenge we have
ever experienced in the utility in its history -- or at least one of them and we have to
overcome it. We think we have found a way to continue the pay as you go model that
we have embraced and utilized and has been very -- and it's been very successful with,
but the reality is in the event we cannot pay as we go for this particular challenge, we
would have an option to go after a bond. The good news is that that bond is not 170
million, it's not 90 million, it's 65 million, it's probably not -- based upon your direction, it
probably won't even be the 41 million dollar gap. It might only be nine, which is the
current gap that we are projecting, to maybe 15 to maybe 30 and my guess is that as
we refine -- continue to refine numbers and we continue to learn more and the EPA
continues to delay and growth continues to go up, my hope is that the gap will close
itself over time. So, that is the reason we are comfortable with having a nine million
dollar gap at this point in time, because we think we have got time on our side and there
is a lot of influencers that may help close that gap, because we are being pretty
conservative in this approach. But it's pretty conceivable to close a nine million dollar
gap with the assumptions, it's not conceivable to close a 40 of 50 million dollar gap. So,
we feel very strongly we have to do something, we have made that recommendation
this evening for your consideration and with that I will stop and open it up for questions
and discussion.
De Weerd: Thank you, Tom. Council, questions?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Tom, how many accounts right now are you assessing?
Barry: Right now there is about 29,375 accounts.
Bird: And we are -- you're planning for eight years or ten years three percent increase
each year?
Barry: Three percent increase in growth, is that what your question is? In growth over
an eight year period.
Meridian City Council Workshop

Bird: Over eight years. That's what I thought.
Barry: Yeah. Because we have to have the funding by the eighth year.
Bird: Because we were doing -- yeah. We were doing ten years some and eight years.
Barry: Right. Ten years for the surcharge, eight years for the connection fee.
Bird: Thank.
Barry: Now, the connection fee is not a surcharge, that connection fee would stay in
place conceivably going forward.
Bird: Thank you.
Rountree: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Tom, you talked about the revenue bonds. Certainly that's not where we
want to go, but in terms of discussing this with the public and as we go through the
hearing, I think that's something we need to explore to explain that, yes, we have the
power to do that, particularly in this case as an emergency or whatnot to do it, but there
is -- you know, there is a debt service there and what does it cost you ultimately versus
what you're talking about is planning for the future incrementally and hoping that the
future will close some of the gap that's still there. So, I think we need to flush that part
out and it doesn't have to be worst case, you don't have to bond for 170 million, but you
need find a number in there of what we would have to bond for, what's the debt service
and what do you ultimately end up looking at your bill for debt service for a bond,
because it's going to be more, no matter how you cut it if you're paying interest on that
bond it's going to be more. The other thing -- and I don't know if this is even worth
exploring with somebody who has got more financial backing than I do, but you
mentioned a very interesting word and it's compounding and it's -- it's the secrete to
being able to retire, but I think it's potentially the secrete of being able to utilize this pay
as you go and put in that gap closure of interest earned. The problem is, as we all
know, when you get .01 percent interest on -- I don't care how much money you have
got, you don't earn any money on an annual basis, but is there a potential with -- with
EPA to -- or some other avenue to invest in something that yields much better than what
you can get on the common market, such as T bills and that sort of thing, which are --
it's not great, but it's better than what we are going to see in a long time in this ten year
period I think and utilize the interest earned in that venue towards closing the gap or
even reducing the amount of potential pay as you go you might have to do.
Barry: I don't know if there is -- to me this is not isolated to the City of Meridian. Is there
a way for multiple communities or maybe the state of Idaho to create some kind of an
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 63 of 74
investment fund that would yield something more than a tenth of a percent or even a
way you can get a quarter of a percent return on a couple of million bucks, which is
crazy, but that's the world we live in. Are those things out there? Is that something
worth investigating? I don't know.
Barry: Councilman Rountree, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I appreciate very
much the -- the comments that you have made. I wanted to clarify something before I
answer your question. The compounding that I was referring to was --
Rountree: I understand. I understand. Okay. I understand that part.
Barry: Okay. Perfect.
Rountree: But it made me think of compounding and how you make money.
Barry: Right. Okay. Good. We did not include any kind of interest earnings or
compounding or any of that in our scenario. I mean you're right, .1 percent -- I mean
even on 30 million dollars -- I'd take it, but it's not going to --
Rountree: No.
Barry: -- it's not going to solve this problem. I'm not familiar with any type of program
that you're talking about for better interest returns, but we can certainly look into it. I
know our finance director is probably more aware of those types of opportunities than
say I would be or my staff. It's something we could look into, but at this point in time I'm
not aware of anything like that. I don't know, for example, if we need to be paying
slightly more and there is certain types of investments and we could -- and there is
certain investments we are not allowed to invest in --
Rountree: I understand.
Barry: -- because of the risks, so it sort of depends and I guess we would have to look
into that more.
Rountree: It would be interesting if the federal government, knowing that they have
unfunded this mandate, would create such a structure that we could earn a reasonable
interest rate on monies paid up front to cover these costs and help -- as opposed to the
grant program that got us into this treatment plant at a point in time in the past.
Barry: Right. Exactly. Which is now all but dried up.
Rountree: It's all gone.
De Weerd: That would be proactive.
Barry: Uh-huh. Right.

Zaremba: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba.
Zaremba: On that last subject I don't know if it would be relevant, but Idaho -- the state
of Idaho does have a thing called the Local Government Investment Pool --
Rountree: And they lost ten million.
Zaremba: -- but I think generally it matches the market or meets the market and it might
be worth consulting and they have some very strict rules about safety and -- that would
meet any rules that the city would have. Local LGIP -- Local Government Investment
Pool.
Barry: Thank you, Mr. Zaremba. I'm not aware of that program or have any information
on it, so it would be worth looking into. Thank you.
Zaremba: And also, Madam Mayor, if I may. A number of the things that you have
suggested are -- to me show forward thinking, but let me just -- on the two percent
inflationary increase are you thinking that's one time or is that every year?
Barry: At this point in time, Councilman Zaremba, it's only been programmed once. So,
it is a one time two percent inflationary increase at this point in time and what that does
for the water utility is it corrects a slight -- it's quite deficit spending, but it corrects the
revenues in water just fine and in wastewater when we come out of the ten year period
it sets wastewater up for a nice steady recovery, which is why we don't think we need a
huge inflationary increase. I think going forward, if we have to make additional
adjustments my recommendation would likely be, based on what I know at this point in
time, provided we don't have huge inflation going on over the next several years and
stay the same, would be to go back to the surcharge and increase that. So, ten percent
is the surcharge today. If it's not enough maybe that goes from ten to 15 percent. So,
we add five more percent to that surcharge. The goal is at the end of a period it goes
away, we don't have to ask for any additional funds in that form of revenue and we have
restabilized the utility going forward. So, that's, again, why we did not want to put a lot
of the revenue requirement if you will, on an indefinite inflationary increase, instead put
it into a short term surcharge that can go away and, then, relieve our citizens of the
obligation and burden -- financial burden associated with the challenge.
Zaremba: So, your answer actually led into my next question, which is about the
surcharge. I know on a number of my bills -- phone bill for certain and probably some of
the others, there is a line that says regulatory surcharge or some other wording, but it
relates it to specifically that kind of thing. So, it is something that people are
knowledgeable and accustomed to. I guess my concern -- I know it's more palatable to
have a sunset on it, but my concern is that we may continue to have more regulatory
issues and, of course, even if we put a sunset on it it can be renewed if it needs to or as
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 65 of 74
you said it can be adjusted as we go along, but -- my phone bill certainly doesn't
indicate that its going to sunset any of those things and I'm concerned that ten years
from now the landscape from EPA may be even tighter. So, I don't know, it might make
sense to put the sunset on it now, but I wonder whether that's going to be sustainable.
Barry: I appreciate your comments, Councilman Zaremba, and I would suggest that
everything you said is quite possible. You know, these regulations are only going to get
more and more stringent for us. While we don't see anything on the immediate horizon,
which would be ten or 15 years, that looks anything near like this type of challenge, we
do know that there are other concerns like endocrine disruptors or microconstituents or
other sorts of things in which --
De Weerd: Odor.
Barry: Pardon me?
De Weerd: Odor.
Barry: -- that might need to be addressed. You would reserve the right to extend at
anytime that surcharge. If you decided in one ordinance to sunset it on a certain day
and as we get closer to that day you want to amend that ordinance -- and a future
council wants to amend the -- the ordinance, they could amend the ordinance. If you
wanted to let it drop off and, then, institute some sort of regulatory reserve surcharge to
save up for the next challenge, you could do that as well. You reserve all of those
rights. I think at this point in time, based on what we know and in particular in
enlightening the community on the approach that we are taking, it makes sense to have
a ten year surcharge and be clear with the community that funds that, that that's our
intention that we only intend at this point in time to burden them for the minimal amount
of time that it's going to take us to get through this period and I would feel personally
good about that, so people would know we weren't trying to, you know, over ask, if you
will, on the revenue side after the challenge has been completed.
Zaremba: Madam Mayor? One other if I may and it's a little different direction. You
have not talked about reclaimed water, which, of course, helps us offset some of the
requirements, but also our current uses of reclaimed water are landscape application.
You know, parks and other stuff. And they are uses that don't end up back in the sewer
system currently. There are plenty of other places around the country that use
reclaimed water in toilets, in some applications where -- it's not drinking water, but
where it does end up back in the sewer system and are we likely to every be so
pressured or have our population grow so much that we can't keep up with the potable
water and we need to start having construction use reclaimed water and toilets and in
other places, in which case it would end up in the sewer. And that's a long question, I
don't know if it's understandable, but is there a question there I guess? Could we ever
change how we use reclaimed water and have it become an issue?
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 66 of 74
Barry: Another good question or series of questions there. Let me try to enlighten you
as quickly as I can on reclaimed water, because there are a lot of opportunities and still
some challenges with it. You're correct, that we use reclaimed water predominately to
satisfy irrigation demands, which are seasonal. So, we have a six month period which
we are currently applying, you know, anywhere from 650 to 800 thousand gallons per
day of reclaimed water. Now, that's a very small percentage of the seven million gallons
that, you know, about -- that we have wastewater each day that we treat. So, there is
the first challenge is there is not enough demand on the reclaimed water side. The
second challenge is the EPA's new permit in the discussion today are suggesting that
they want year around limits to phosphorus and so if they require year around limits to
phosphorus -- let's say the reclaimed water program was up and running and every
ounce of water that went through that treatment plant during the summertime I could
divert out of the creek and put onto -- put into other uses, whether those be irrigation,
construction, watering, fire suppression, car washes, cooling towers, all these things
that are permitted, toilets, those kinds of things, some of which those uses are currently
being used in Meridian under our current program. If I was able to do that, but I still had
a year around phosphorus limit, what do I do when reclaimed water demands --
particularly since they are irrigation dominated -- slough off in the wintertime, but I still
have to meet this phosphorus limit. So, now I got to look for some other solution in the
wintertime. That is a scenario we are working up right now. As a matter of fact, we are
so disgruntled and frustrated with the EPA that we'd like to get completely out of the
creek if we could and one of the ways to do that is to have a wintertime solution and that
solution that we are investigating at this point in time is called direct infiltration or aquifer
recharge. So, essentially, the idea there is that if we could take the water that we
currently discharge to the creek, redirect it and put it into hydraulically suppressed or
groundwater suppressed areas and we could get rid of it without having it enter waters
of the U.S. and, therefore, not having to comply with the Clean Water Act. We would
have to comply with a whole host of other permits, but those would be largely DEQ
permits at that point in time. The city of Nampa has investigated that. We have done
some preliminary studies on as well. We have found some areas in southwest Meridian
where that might be possible for us. Now the challenge is, okay, if it's going to cost me
50 million dollars to fully establish the reclaimed water program and it's going to cost me
110 million dollars to do this infiltration, now I have got two different programs, two
different permits, two different operations that I'm going to have to staff and everything
at a capital cost of let's say in that particular example 160 million, is it better to just go
ahead and put one solution that gets the full -- you know, the full compliance solution
that we are after. These are all the complexities of what to do, right, and that's why
when you look at the overall challenge financially that we are up against, there is a
significant portion of cost associated with studies, because we make the wrong
decision, you know, we spend tens of millions either backing ourself out of that or
putting in a redundant system or doing something else. So, right now it's pretty critical
for us to make those types of analyses and to make sure that the solutions that we are
going to deploy are the right and the most cost effective solutions and that they not only
satisfy today's challenges, but they will satisfy challenges that we see for the next 20 or
30 years, if not more. So, I don't know if I have answered your question. I have
probably given you as convoluted a response as I could there, but, essentially,
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 67 of 74
reclaimed water could be an opportunity for us at this point in time without knowing what
the future for year around phosphorus limits looks like, we have kind of paused on
expanding that program at this point in time.
De Weerd: Mr. Bird?
Bird: Yeah. Tom, as far as for me -- I know you're not going to believe this, get your
program together and -- as you presented it I don't care -- I know some of them you
don't have to have a public hearing on, but I think for the benefit of the rate payers it
would be nice to have it all -- do all of it under a public hearing and let's get it going and,
you know, hopefully, if people have a real problem with it they will come out and testify
or -- you know, one way or the other, but let's get it going. I think that -- I'm not scared
in ten years of the nine million, I think we will make that up, if growth stays like it is. If
we have another 2006 and past we might not, in the same token we have to cut back
ourselves. Anyway, that's my recommendation. Get the thing and let's get going.
Barry: Thank you.
De Weerd: I think it might take a little bit more time, because I -- as we just had the city
survey and people would like to get their information -- and I don't get that at all, but -- in
their utility bill, so we will need to put information in the utility bill about public hearings
and printing information about what we are facing. But we probably should put together
a public relations or a communications -- a communications plan on how we can inform
our citizens of -- of what's being proposed and how we can give them an opportunity to
input, because that's another thing that the city survey did show is we do ask our
citizens and we need to continue to do so. Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Madam Mayor, my comment is probably along those same lines. We don't
know for sure the timing of this permit, so it's hard to say we are going to do this and
pull the trigger for something that's been looking at us for the last ten, 12, nine years,
whatever and having the public say why are you doing it, it's taken this long, is it ever
going to happen. So, I think we have to have a better handle on the timing of the
permit, but I agree with what's been said, I think we need to have a public information
plan that starts educating the public that this is the predicament that we are in and we
are moving towards a permit that could very well cost this kind of money and here are
the potential strategies to accommodate that through a series of newsletters or whatnot
and utility bills -- it seems like that's the appropriate place and certainly some
information on the website as well and so people don't get hit with this -- well, there is
going to be people that are going to get hit with it anyway, because they don't follow this
stuff, but at least do a professional effort in getting the information out and, then, the
potential solutions and the potential impacts and, then, you get it into the public hearing
process, so we can move forward. But to me the critical piece is when are we going to
get that permit and I know that's a crystal ball deal, but it's probably sooner than later at
this point, after the wait we have had.
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 68 of 74
Barry: Right. And, Councilman Bird, if it's any consolation the -- or, excuse me,
Councilman Rountree --
Rountree: That's okay, that's a compliment.
Barry: If there is any consolation the reality is we have our permit, we have a draft of it,
and we have never been in this position before. We have never had anything to talk
about, we have never had anything in writing, we have never had a compliance
schedule that we have worked up that DEQ has been meeting with us about and EPA.
So, we have never been further along than we are right now. You know, I would almost
-- I'm not a betting man, but I mean I would venture to wage a bet that it's not going to
be October like they said it's going to be this year. But could it be December or January
of next year, could it be February, could it be March -- it's going to be some time I
strongly believe in the next six to eight -- six to 12 months.
Rountree: Just knowing that we have a draft is a step that the public -- they don't know
the process to have gotten to that point, but we were talking about something that we
haven't had as a draft. It's a potential.
Barry: Yeah.
Rountree: Highly likely, but it hasn't -- the hammer hasn't dropped yet.
Barry: No, it hasn't. They have been cocked and they are ready to go, so --
Rountree: Yeah.
Barry: -- the sooner we start -- you know, it's kind of a race. If we can legally jump the
start we get a competitive advantage.
Rountree: We can legally do it, but I don't know that you're going to like the flack.
Barry: That's true. That's true. Very good points, though. Thank you.
De Weerd: He doesn't get it, we do. Or I do.
Rountree: We all do. We are all going to end up paying for this, so --
Bird: I was going to say, we are all paying for it.
Borton: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Borton.
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 69 of 74
Borton: Tom, can you remind us when you would expect the results from the trades
and offset study that we just funded? Because that might impact the -- the nut that we
are trying to cover.
Barry: It might. The reality is we probably won't have that report finalized until probably
December, maybe January of next year. So, it will certainly influence where we are at.
I don't know that it will solve the challenge or how much of the challenge it might solve,
but, you know, our commitment to the City Council has been to come every year and
disclose our modeling and projection with you and it's not like if we do these things we
have talked about and go through this public hearing process and those sorts of things
that you won't ever see us on this topic again. We will be right back here another year
and we would have that information and a whole lot of other assumptions that have
been all updated, we would give you another projection, we tell you if we are tracking
right, if we -- if we can reduce the surcharge or if we need to increase the surcharge,
any of those types of things, all of that would be reevaluated and will continue to be
reevaluated through this entire process on an annual basis. That's our commitment to
the City Council at this point and, quite frankly, if you want it more frequently than that.
Be a lot of work, but we could do that, so --
De Weerd: Anything else? So, next steps.
Barry: My recommendation for next steps would be for us to go and sit with the BCA
and the developers council and some prominent developers and talk with them
immediately about the 750 dollar amount. The information I showed you on the regional
benchmark comes straight from the BCA, so the BCA already knows that we are the
second lowest. Don't know how much of an objection they will have with the -- barring
the situation we have got, as well as the market analysis that they have done
themselves, but we think that that process should happen right away. We will start
working up materials for the utility bill inserts. What I'd like to do is sit down with staff
and try to develop a project schedule by which we could reasonably anticipate
communications that would be satisfactory to attempting to educate the public on these
issues and, then, lead them to a series of public hearings, ultimately concluding with
actions that you deem fit to take, so my goal would be to go through that process as
quickly as possible. It's going to be a lot of work, particularly if we front load a lot of this
communication and that kind of stuff, we don't have communication people in our office.
I understand we are going to have somebody come on board in a couple weeks in the
Mayor's office that we might be able to utilize, but the reality is that communication
piece could take, you know, four to six weeks just to -- just to develop and vet and the
reality is if we are going to put it in the utility bill we are three weeks from each billing
prior to that as well. So, we bill on the 5th and the 20th, so if it takes of four to six
weeks to develop the material and, then, three weeks to cycle into each of the bills we
are another six weeks out at that point in time, so you're now 12 weeks and, then,
you're talking more time to, you know, try to anticipate when this public hearing is going
to be and get that scheduled and noticed and, then, go through the public hearing
process, as you know will probably be every other week for three weeks with a notice --
I mean you're probably --
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 70 of 74
De Weerd: Well, Tom, I think you're going to have two different information and
communication plans. Your first is your assessment fee and moving forward with
meeting with the developers council and the BCA is -- is the first step. So, you may
want to just have two separate plans, one on the assessment, one on the surcharge
slash rate increase and they will have different time schedules and probably different
information pieces, but I you can't make -- take shortcuts on informing our public and
making sure they have they have the opportunity to -- to give input -- or at least
understand what we are faced with.
Barry: Right. And the intent, hopefully, you have heard, was not to short circuit the
importance of --
De Weerd: Well, it's going to take time.
Barry: It will take time. Exactly. But we are talking -- I mean if I understood Mr. Bird's
request to run everything through one public hearing together.
Bird: If you don't have -- no. Excuse me, Madam -- no, Tom, that will be fine if you
have to do it. I think Mayor just hit upon it. Your first thing is your 750 dollars that you
need to get going. And that's where you have got to go talk to the developers and the
BCA and all that stuff and get that going. You can bring that forward as a public
hearing, then, we will do the rest afterwards.
Barry: Okay.
Bird: The $4.71 a month increase in the bill, while it would be nice, can weight, but I
think the 750 is going to -- and it's probably going to be your biggest kickback. So, I
think -- no, I did say that, but if we -- if we need to -- after these others go forward I think
we can do it.
Barry: Why don't we do this: Let myself and the staff and Finance and -- when is the
communication -- the 21 st did we say?
De Weerd: The 23rd.
Barry: 23rd.
De Weerd: First day.
Barry: First day. Maybe we hit them up on this. We come back with a plan and we -- I
think the BCA meets the first of the month anyways and so we are -- we are not going to
be -- be able to meet with them in advance of their meeting. Although we can start
shopping this to developers, but if we can work a communication plan and project
schedule and bring that back to you and so at least you're aware of what we are
Meridian City Council Workshop
June 10, 2014
Page 71 of 74
intending and also can have influence over that and, then, we can implement
accordingly. Does that sound acceptable?
De Weerd: Uh-huh.
Barry: Okay. We will do that. Wish I had better news, but it could be worse.
Bird: Thanks, Tom.
Barry: Thank you. I appreciate your time and attention on this.
Bird: And Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: And publically, Tom, thank you and your staff, everybody within your department,
for the great Public Works Week that you guys put on. The tour and the thing out here
was absolutely fantastic. Thank you very much.
Barry: Thank you, Councilman Bird. I appreciate that.
De Weerd: Thank you. Can you introduce some of the new faces you have out there?
Bird: I was going to say, I only know two of them.
Barry: Would you like an introduction?
De Weerd: I think you should introduce your team, yes.
Barry: Okay. Well, on the left Steve is not in our department, but we sure like him.
Bird: We know him.
Barry: He's a good guy. Actually, then, going to the right. Dale Bolthouse is our new
utility operations manager. Actually retitled deputy director of utility operation. Behind
him is Mollie Mangerich. You know her. She's the environmental division manager.
Forward of her and to the right of Dale -- actually to the left of Dale, but to your right, we
call it stage left -- we have Tracy Crane. In front of him Amber Christofferson, who gave
the presentation, our utility analyst. Brian McClure is with the water division. He is our
water operations maintenance fleet and, then, Mike Pepin is our business operations
manager. He's taking over for John, who moved into the deputy director position as you
know sometime ago. So -- and, then, Warren, our engineering manager and Susie our
administrative assistant. Todd is not part of the -- Todd's not part of the department, but
he's certainly part of the team; right? And he's looking sharp over there. You can see
he didn't want to sit with the team, but that's okay. We won't hold that against him.
And, then, we love Frank, right? And these guys over here and --

1. Approve the Temporary Water Main Easements with Gary and Diana Hanson.
2. Authorize the Mayor to sign the easement and easement contract.
H. DEPARTMENT CONTACT PERSONS

Warren Stewart, Engineering Manager....................................................................489-0350

HI. DESCRIPTION
A. Back round
The City of Meridian's Well 28 was constructed near the Blackrock Subdivision to
supply water to the Pressure Zone (PZ) 5. Currently, there is not enough demand in PZ 5
to effectively utilize the well. Therefore, Well 28 is being used to support PZ 4 and the
small portion of PZ 5. By building this water line extension and connecting multiple
isolated sections of PZ 5, Well 28 can be utilized to provide water to a larger area of PZ 5
and provide improved service, fire protection, and water quality to PZ 5 residents.
B. Project Description
This project will construct a water main linking the existing distribution system dedicated
to PZ 5 just south of Wrightwood Drive on S. Locust Grove Road to the existing system in
Page I of 2
E. Hyper Drive in the Blackrock Subdivision. Linking these two water main systems gives
water operations the flexibility to allow fresh water circulation throughout the system,
provide water main redundancy, and provide an additional water supply to PZ 5.
The proposed temporary easement will need to be granted to the City of Meridian from
Gary and Diana Hanson. This easement is necessary for the City of Meridian to acquire
because the water main construction footprint is larger than the extents of the permanent
easement boundary.
IV. IMPACT
A. Fiscal Impact:
The cost associated with obtaining the temporary easement from Gary and Diana Hanson
is $3,241.

III. DESCRIPTION
A. Background
The City of Meridian's Well 28 was constructed near the Blackrock Subdivision to
supply water to the Pressure Zone (PZ) 5. Currently, there is not enough demand in PZ 5
to effectively utilize the well. Therefore, Well 28 is being used to support PZ 4 and the
small portion of PZ 5. By building this water line extension and connecting multiple
isolated sections of PZ 5, Well 28 can be utilized to provide water to a larger area of PZ 5
and provide improved service, fire protection, and water quality to PZ 5 residents.
B. Project Description
This project will construct a water main linking the existing distribution system dedicated
to PZ 5 just south of Wrightwood Drive on S. Locust Grove Road to the existing system in
Page 1 of 2
E. Hyper Drive in the Blackrock Subdivision. Linking these two water main systems gives
water operations the flexibility to allow fresh water circulation throughout the system,
provide water main redundancy, and provide an additional water supply to PZ 5.
The proposed permanent easement will need to be granted to the City of Meridian from
Gary and Diana Hanson. The proposed easement will allow the City of Meridian to locate
the proposed water line through private property which is required to connect the two PZ
5 water systems. The easement will also be used for water main maintenance and repairs.
IV. IMPACT
A. Fiscal Impact:
The cost associated with obtaining the permanent easement from Gary and Diana Hanson
is $15,664.

II. DESCRIPTION
A. Background
This project was initiated to begin the process of mitigating brown water in the
water system by improving the water quality supplied by Well 19. When
adequate chlorine residuals are provided for disinfection in the distribution
system, Iron and Manganese precipitate into the supply water resulting in brown
or black water coloration. Although there are no known health threats from these
elements, they can cause staining on plumbing fixtures, laundry and cause
unpleasant taste and smell. The primary purpose and justification for this project
is to improve customer satisfaction by reducing water quality issues created by
Iron and Manganese precipitation in our water supply. The project consists of
constructing an Iron and Manganese Filter to remove excess levels of the
constituents from supply water before entering the distribution system. Well 19
was selected as a high priority well for treatment because it contains high levels
of Iron and Manganese and is a major supplier to the City's pressure zone #1.

commitment to good site planning and design as a means of establishing a place everyone can be
proud of and one that protects the interests of future businesses and residents (pg. ix).
LAND USE:
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) contained in the TMISAP designates the subject property with
the following land use types: Mixed Use Commercial (MU -C) (32+/- acres), Lifestyle Center (LC)
(6.36+/- acres), and High Density Residential (HDR) (3.12 +/- acres).
MU -C: The majority of the site is designated MU -C. MU -C designated areas are intended for the
development of a mix of office, retail, recreational, employment and other miscellaneous uses, with
supporting multi -family or single-family attached residential uses. The horizontal and vertical
integration of residential uses is also essential in this area. This designation requires developments to
integrate the three major use categories: residential, commercial, and employment. Traditional
neighborhood design concepts with a strong pedestrian -oriented focus are essential. Development
should exhibit quality building and site design and an attractive pedestrian environment with a strong
street character. An overall target density of 8-12 dwelling units (d.u.) per (/) acre is desired, with
higher densities allowed in individual projects. No more than 30% of the ground level development
within the MUC designation should be used for residences. (See pg. 3-9 for more information)
LC: A small portion of the site along the southwest boundary is designated LC. The LC designation
is a specific form of Mixed Use Commercial. LC designated areas encourage a diversity of
compatible land uses in a unified development that includes a mix of retail, professional services,
offices, entertainment uses, civic services, housing and public outdoor spaces. The design and
arrangement of buildings should be oriented to pedestrians. Streetscape improvements should be
TM Creek AZ -13-015; PP -13-030 PAGE 4
EXHIBIT A
provided that create rich and enjoyable public spaces. The target overall average density for
residential uses is 16 d.u./acre, with higher densities of up to 40 d.u./acre allowed. All residential uses
should be above the first floor. Structured parking or heavily landscaped and screened surface parking
is a necessity. On -street parallel, angled head -in parking and the integration of public transit into the
lifestyle center should be considered as options. Community gathering places should be provided to
create a sense of place. (See pg. 3-9 for more information)
HDR: A small portion of the site along the east boundary is designated HDR. HDR designated areas
are multiple -family housing areas where relatively larger and taller apartment buildings are the
recommended building type. HDR areas should include a mix of housing types that achieve an overall
average density target of at least 16-25 dwelling units per gross acre. Most developments within the
HDR areas should fall within or below this range, although smaller areas of higher or lower density
may be included. HDR areas are relatively compact and are located close to larger MU -C and
employment areas and other intensively developed lands. Design and orientation of buildings should
be pedestrian oriented with special streetscape improvements to create rich and enjoyable public
spaces. A strong physical relationship between the commercial and residential components to
adjacent employment or transit centers is critical. (See pg. 3-7 for more information)
A conceptual development plan showing how the site is proposed to develop was submitted with this
application and is included in Exhibit A.4. A mixed use development is proposed consisting of office
and retail, from service and restaurant pad sites to mid-sized commercial, and high-density residential
uses. A large central common area is proposed adjacent to the Ten Mile Creek that will provide a
public pedestrian facility as an amenity along the creek.
The TMISAP contains a Zoning District Compatibility Matrix which lists the best, possible, and
marginal choices for zoning of the different land use categories based on the zoning districts that
comes the closest to meeting the intent of the land uses in the plan (pgs. 2-3 thru 2-7). The applicant
proposes to rezone all of the LC designated area and the majority of the.MU-C designated area with
the C -G zoning district which is listed in the matrix as a possible choice for those areas. The portion
of the site that is designated MU -C and HDR is proposed to be rezoned to the TN -C district which is
not listed as a choice in the HDR area but is listed as the best possible choice in the MU -C area. The
applicant proposes to rezone the HDR designated portion at the southeast corner of the site with the
R-40 zoning district, which is listed as the best choice for that area. Overall, based on the proposed
uses and the matrix, staff finds the proposed zoning choices are consistent with the TMISAP and are
the best choices for this area (pg. 2-5).
TRANSPORTATION: The Transportation System Map and the Street Section Map contained in the
TMISAP identifies a collector street network for the Ten Mile planning area, a portion of which is
designated for this site.
Guidelines from the Plan (S. Ten Mile Road):
South Ten Mile Road runs along the west boundary of the site. Street Section A (see detail below),
which represents a modified 44ane parkway, represents S. Ten Mile Road.
This parkway is anticipated to enhance the look and feel of Ten Mile Road and to provide additional
buffers to adjacent properties. The parkway is designed to provide rapid and relatively unimpeded
traffic movement throughout the area and carry high volumes of traffic to mixed use and employment
centers. The parkway serves as an arterial road and access is restricted to collector streets. Buildings
should address the street but should be set back some distance from the roadway edge to provide
wide tree lawn and detached trail to provide security to the pedestrians and bikes. A tree lawn or
planting strips should be provided in all areas. Streetlights should be located in the tree/lawn area
and should be of a pedestrian scale while street lights in the median should be designed to meet
vehicular needs.
TM Creek AZ -13-015; PP -13-030 PAGE 5
EXHIBIT A
Applicant's Proposal:
The applicant proposes a 35 -foot wide landscaped street buffer along Ten Mile Road in accord with
the Plan (see detail below). An attached sidewalk is depicted on the concept plan which does not
comply with UDC or TMISAP standards. There is a temporary attached asphalt pathway that
currently exists along Ten Mile Road. Two (2) right-in/right-out driveway accesses are proposed via
Ten Mile Road.
l`—°'—L—uxmcar FNM pan M
Landscape Buffer: Ten Mile Road
`B sw« r. u -r
Staffs Recommendation:
The temporary pathway should be removed and a new 10 -foot wide detached pathway should be
constructed within the buffer area some distance from the roadway. Buildings should address the
street by being built to the street buffer with windows overlooking the pathway to provide security to
the pedestrians and bikes on the pathway. Street lights at a pedestrian -scale should be installed within
the street buffer in accord with the Plan. The two driveway accesses via Ten Mile Road are not
supported by the Plan and require a City Council waiver to UDC 11-3A-3 for approval of the
accesses. ACHD has approved these accesses (see letter in Exhibit A.6).
Guidelines from the Plan (East(West Collector):
An cast/west residential collector street is depicted on the Map along the southern boundary of this
site to be constructed in accord with the design shown in "Street Section D" of the Plan which
represents a residential collector street (see detail below).
TM Creek AZ -13-015; PP -13-030 PAGE 6
Street Section D
EXHIBIT A
Applicant's Proposal:
The proposed plat depicts a collector street (Ten Mile Creek Drive) along the southern boundary of
the site as anticipated on the Map. However, because residential uses arc not proposed along the north
side of the street, the applicant is not proposing to construct a residential collector street as called for
on the Map. The proposed street section consists of a 3 -lane collector street with a median/turn lane,
bike lanes, 8 -foot wide planters and 5 -foot wide detached sidewalks within 78 feet of ROW. An extra
10 feet on each side is proposed to be preserved for future roadway expansion (see detail below).
TEN MILE CREEK DR
3 LANE COLLECTOR Wr MEDIAN
Staff's Recommendation:
Based on the site layout and uses proposed by the applicant, Staff agrees a residential street collector
is not appropriate for this area. The proposed street section appears to closely align with Street
Section C in the Plan with the addition of a tum lane (see detail below).
Street Section C represents the major collector streets. These streets provide access from adjacent
arterial streets into the employment areas. Buildings on these streets are set backfrom the street at
some distance generally behind a detached sidewalk. A tree lawn should be provided in all areas.
Streetlights should be located in the tree lawn area and should be of a pedestrian scale. A 5 -foot wide
dry -utilities corridor should be provided along both sides of the street curb. The corridor may not be
required if all dry utilities are located in an alley or other street.
TM Creek AZ -13-015; PP -13-030 PAGE 7
street Section C
EXHIBIT A
Staff supports the applicant's proposed street section with the recommendation that streetlights of a
pedestrian scale are provided within the tree lawn area. The area preserved for future ROW will allow
for future expansion if warranted by ACHD and should be planted with grass in the interim.
Guidelines from the Plan (North/South Collector):
A north/south minor collector street is depicted on the Map through this site to be constructed in
accord with the design shown in "Street Section E" of the Plan, which represents a minor collector
street (see detail below).
Minor collector streets in the Ten Mile area serve as the primary retail streets; their character is
pedestrian -oriented and defined by street -level storefronts. Buildings on these streets are built to the
sidewalk with 12 foot wide sidewalks, street trees in wells, and pedestrian scale lighting. Ample on -
street diagonal parking supports the businesses within the LC and MU -C areas. This section may be
modified to allow parallel parking as a local section in these areas. The Plan recommends a 5 -foot
dry utilities corridor be provided along both sides of the street curb; the corridor may not be required
if all dry utilities are located in an alley or other street. Both wet utilities may be located in the street.
Streetlights should be placed in the dry utilities corridor on either side of the street.
311401 sectle
Applicant's Proposal:
The proposed plat depicts a north/south collector street (Franklin Crossing Ave.) through the site as
anticipated on the Map. Three different street sections are proposed consisting of the portion north of
the creek, the bridge, and the portion south of the creek (see details below). The street sections for the
portions north and south of the creek depict a proposed street layout as well as a future layout within
the same ROW width for expansion if traffic warrants such in the future.

travel lanes, bike lanes, parallel parking, curb and gutter, 7 -foot wide attached sidewalks and
an additional 2.5 -foot wide section of sidewalk outside of the ROW. The ultimate width of
the sidewalk is proposed to be 9.5 feet. Trees will be installed in wells within the sidewalk
area.
The street section also depicts a future plan for reconfiguration if needed within the same
ROW width that adds two (2) travel lanes in place of the parallel parking.
Bridge section:
The proposed plat depicts 100 -feet of ROW consisting of a center turn lane, four (4) travel
lanes, bike lanes, and attached 7 -foot wide sidewalks with an additional 8 -foot to the property
line.

South of the creek:
The proposed plat depicts 98 -feet of ROW consisting of a median/turn lane, two (2) travel
lanes, bike lanes, parallel parking, curb and gutter, 8 -foot wide planters and 5 -foot wide
detached sidewalks.
The street section also depicts a future plan for reconfiguration if needed within the same
ROW width that adds two (2) travel lanes in place of the parallel parking.
Staff's Recommendation:
The proposed and future street sections appear to closely align with Street Section E in the Plan (see
detail below).
Street Section E represents a minor collector street in the Ten Mile area which serves as the primary
retail streets; their character is pedestrian -oriented and defined by street -level storefronts. Buildings
on these streets are built to the sidewalk with 12 foot wide sidewalks, street trees in wells, and
pedestrian scale lighting. Ample on -street parking supports the businesses within the LC and MU -C
areas. The Plan recommends a 5 -foot dry utilities corridor be provided along both sides of the street
curb; the corridor may not be required if all dry utilities are located in an alley or other street. Both
wet utilities may be located in the street. Streetlights should be placed in the dry utilities corridor on
either side of the street.
Staff is of the opinion the proposed and future street sections are generally consistent with the Plan
with the exception that the sidewalk north of the creek should be widened from 9.5 feet to 12 feet to
accommodate more pedestrian traffic in accord with the Plan. Therefore, staff recommends the
proposed north/south collector street is constructed in accord with the street sections proposed by the
applicant. At such time as traffic warrants and is deemed necessary by ACED, the roadway may be
reconfigured to a 4 -lane roadway with no on -street parking as proposed. Because initially Franklin
Crossing will be configured as a two lane roadway, the bridge section should be configured
accordingly and may be restriped in the future if warranted by ACRD to accommodate more lanes of
traffic.

DESIGN: The location, scale, form, height, and design quality of public and private buildings and
spaces are integral to the development of the Ten Mile area. The design elements included in Chapter
3 of the TMISAP are intended to serve as the basic framework for projects within this area.
The matrix on page 3-49 lists the following design elements (& associated page numbers) as
applicable to MUC, LC, and HDR designated areas: architecture & heritage (3-32); commercial &
mixed use buildings and residential buildings (Street -Oriented Design 3-33); buildings to scale (3-
34); neighborhood design (3-36); building form and character (3-37); building details (3-41); signs (3-
46); and public art (3-47).
TM Creek AZ -13-015; PP -13-030 PAGE 10
The following are some important design elements noted in the Plan that should be considered with
development of this site:
• Buildings at or close to the property line facing the street — main entrances/facades should be
oriented to the street;
• Buildings should relate effectively to the fronting streets by aligning and being as continuous as
possible;
• Buildings at street corners should "hold the corners';
• The space between a building fagade and the adjacent sidewalk should be landscaped with a
combination of lawn, groundcover, shrubs, and trees;
• Restaurants are encouraged to have outdoor dining; shops & stores are encouraged to open their
doors & street front windows & use clear glass that allows visual access inwards & outwards;
• Human -scale design by building entrances placed close to the street, ground floor windows,
articulated facades, appropriately scaled signs and lighting, and awnings and other weather
protection;
• Provide elements that become focal points and announce special places in the Ten Mile area
(gateway & entryway corridor signs, continuous walkways, attractive streetscape design, avoid
parking in front of buildings, landscaping, etc.);
• Architectural character should establish a clear sense of identity for each activity center through
an overall palette for each commercial center while maintaining a degree of individuality for each
building. The palette should address and coordinate key elements such as materials (walls, roofs,
key architectural elements), and colors, etc.;
• Low-rise buildings of 2-4 stories over much of the area is recommended with opportunities for
taller buildings in a few locations;
• For streets & block fronts where commercial uses and pedestrian activity are most desired, it is
recommended that sidewalks be lined with shops, restaurants, and galleries and that buildings be
designed with multiple sidewalk entries, generously -scaled display and transom windows,
pedestrian—scaled signs and banners, and awnings or canopies for sun shading;
• Signs should be designed to contribute to the overall character, identity and way finding system.
Signs should be compatible with the architecture of the buildings and businesses they identify in
colors, materials, sizes, shapes, and lighting; and
• Public art that contributes to the character and identity of the City should be incorporated into the
development in the design of streetscapes, plazas, public spaces associated with buildings, etc.
Art should be easily visible to the public (e.g. on the exterior of buildings rather than in lobbies,
or visible from the street or publicly accessible open spaces rather than interior courtyards).
Staff recommendation: Staff finds development of this site is generally consistent with the above
guidelines for the following reasons: the concept plan depicts buildings located at or close to the
property lines facing most of the streets; buildings are generally in alignment; the concept elevations
depict two story buildings within the TN -C and R-40 districts; outdoor seating along the walkways in
the TN -C district; transom windows and awnings; and signs contributing to the feel of the pedestrian
oriented portion of the development.
As the Plan calls for buildings to "hold the comers", staff recommends the building shown on the
concept plan at the northeast corner of S. Ten Mile Road and Ten Mile Creek Drive be shifted to the
corner in accord with this guideline and consistent with structures on other corners of the site.

GOALS, OBJECTIVES, & ACTION ITEMS:
Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this application and apply to
the proposed use of this property (staff analysis in italics):
• "Support a variety of residential categories (low-, medium-, medium-high and high-density
single-family, multi -family, townhouses, duplexes, apartments, condominiums, etc.) for the
purpose of providing the City with a range of affordable housing opportunities." (3.07.01E)
The applicant proposes to include a high density residential component with this development
which should add to the variety of residential categories and contribute to the range of
housing opportunities available within the City
• "Implement the City's Pathways Master Plan to provide a bike and pathways system between
neighborhoods, local collectors, and community destinations." (6.02.01A)
Several segments of the City's multi -use pathway system are designated on this property
along Ten Mile Road, along the portion of Franklin Road near the Franklin/Ten Mile
intersection and along the Ten Mile Creek. These pathways will provide pedestrian and
bicycle connectivity to and through this development.
• "Provide housing options close to employment and shopping centers." (3.07.02D)
The portion of the site proposed for multi family development will be in close proximity to the
portion of the site proposed for commercial and employment uses.
• "Require landscape street buffers for new development along all entryway corridors."
(2.01.02E)
A 35 foot wide landscaped street buffer is proposed along S. Ten Mile Road, an entryway
corridor, as required by UDC Table 11-2B-3.
• "Improve and protect creeks throughout commercial, industrial, and residential areas."
(5.01.01E)
The Ten Mile Creek runs diagonally through this site from the northwest corner to the east
boundary. Approximately''/. of the length of the creek is proposed to be improved as a water
amenity with a recreational pathway.
• "Plan for a variety of commercial and retail opportunities within the Area of City Impact."
(3.05.01J)
The proposed development will provide a variety of commercial, retail opportunities that
don't currently exist in this area of the City.
• "Incorporate creek corridors as an amenity in development design." (5.09.0117)
The proposed development incorporates the Ten Mile Creek as an amenity to the
development with landscaping and a recreational pathway.
• "Permit new development only where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time
of final approval and development is contiguous to the City." (3.0 1.01 F)
This property is contiguous to land that has already been annexed into the City. Urban
services can be provided to this property upon development.
VIII. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (UDC)
A. Purpose Statement of Zones:
1. The purpose of the commercial districts is to provide for the retail and service needs of the
TM Creek AZ -13-015; PP -13-030 PAGE 12
EXHIBIT A
community in accordance with the Meridian comprehensive plan. Six (6) districts are
designated which differ in the size and scale of commercial structures accommodated in the
district, the scale and mix of allowed commercial uses, and the location of the district in
proximity to streets and highways (UDC 11-2B-1).
The largest scale and broadest mix of retail, office, service, and light industrial uses are
allowed in the GG district and are located in close proximity and/or with access to interstate
or arterial intersections.
2. The purpose of the traditional neighborhood districts is to encourage mixed use, compact
development that is sensitive to the environmental characteristics of the land and facilitates
the efficient use of services. Vertically integrated residential projects are encouraged in all
traditional neighborhood districts. A traditional neighborhood district diversifies and
integrates land uses within close proximity of each other, and it provides for the daily
recreational and shopping needs of the residents (UDC 11-2D-1).
The purpose of the TN -C district is to serve as the focal point of a neighborhood center,
containing retail, commercial, and community services to meet the daily needs of community
residents within a one or two mile radius. The TN -C district is pedestrian oriented and is
designed to encourage pedestrian connection with a traditional neighborhood residential
district. TN -C district uses include small scale retail, restaurants, recreational, personal
services, public or quasi -public uses, churches, and attached and multi -family dwellings.
3. The purpose of the residential districts is to provide for a range of housing opportunities
consistent with the Meridian comprehensive plan. Residential districts are distinguished by
the allowable density of dwelling units per acre and corresponding housing types that can be
accommodated within the density range. The high-density residential (R-40) district allows a
maximum gross density of 40 dwelling units per acre (UDC 11-2A-1).
B. Schedule of Use: UDC Tables 11 -2A -2,11-2B-2, and 11-2D-2 lists the principal permitted (P),
accessory (A), conditional (C), and prohibited (-) uses in the proposed R-40, GG, and TN -C
zoning districts respectively. Any use not explicitly listed is prohibited.
C. Dimensional Standards: Development of the site should be consistent with the dimensional
standards listed in UDC Tables 11-2A-8, 11-2B-3, and 11-213-5 for the R-40, GG, and TN -C
zoning districts respectively.
D. Landscaping: Landscaping is required in accordance with the TMISAP along streets.
Landscaping within parking lots is required to comply with UDC 11-313-8C.
E. Off -Street Parking: Off-street parking is required in accord with UDC 11 -3C -6B for non-
residential uses and UDC Table 11-3C-6 for multi -family dwellings.
IX. ANALYSIS
Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation:
A. Annexation & Zoning (AZ)
The applicant requests approval to annex & zone 45.34 acres of land with C -G (35.82 acres), R-
40 (3.94 acres), and TN -C (5.58 acres) zoning districts. As discussed above in Section VII, the
proposed zoning is consistent with the corresponding FLUM designations of MU -C, HDR, and
LC.
The applicant proposes to develop a mixed use project on this site consisting of office and retail,
from service and restaurant pad sites to mid-sized commercial, and multi -family residential uses.
A conceptual development plan was submitted for this site that depicts building pads, parking,
access points, streets, driveways, landscape buffers, casements, and the pathway along the Ten
TM Creek AZ -13-015; PP -13-030 PAGE 13
EXHIBIT A
Mile creek (see Exhibit A.4). Multi -family residential uses are proposed within the R-40 district
at the southeast corner of the site.
The legal description submitted with the application, included in Exhibit C, shows the boundaries
of the property proposed to be annexed and rezoned. The property is contiguous to land that has
been annexed into the City and is within the Area of City Impact boundary.
The City may require a development agreement (DA) in conjunction with an annexation pursuant
to Idaho Code section 67-6511A. In order to ensure the site develops as proposed with this
application, staff recommends a DA is required as a provision of annexation with the provisions
included in Exhibit B.
B. Preliminary Plat (PP)
The proposed preliminary plat consists of 49 building lots and 3 common/other lots on 41.03
acres of land. The applicant anticipates the development will be phased; however, a phasing plan
was not submitted with this application. With the first phase of development, staff recommends a
phasing plan be submitted.
Dimensional Standards: Staff has reviewed the proposed plat for compliance with the
dimensional standards of the C -G, TN -C, and R-40 districts and found the plat to comply with the
applicable standards. Buildings should be setback from the property lines in accord with the
minimum standards and shall comply with the minimum number of stories and/or maximum
building height as required in the applicable district.
Access: The UDC (11-3A-3) limits access to arterial and collector streets to improve safety by
combining and/or limiting access points to such streets to ensure that motorists can safely enter
all streets. Prior to any new, expanded, or extended use or development of the property, where
access is not available to a local street, cross-access/ingress-egress easements are required to be
granted to adjoining properties. These standards apply unless waived by City Council.
Access to this site is proposed on the plat as follows: (1) right-in/right-out, (1) right-in/right-
out/left-in, and (1) full access via W. Franklin Road; and (2) right-in/right-out accesses & (1) full -
access via S. Ten Mile Road. The concept plan depicts an approved traffic signal for the full -
access (Franklin Crossing Ave.) on Franklin Road; the signal will be installed when warranted in
the future. During the recent widening of Franklin and Ten Mile Roads, all of these access
points/curb cuts were constructed. Additionally, deceleration lanes were constructed for the two
accesses closest to the Franklin/Ten Mile intersection on Ten Mile Road; and a deceleration lane
and left -in access was constructed for the access closest to the collector street on Franklin Road.
Based on the Ten Mile Area Access Study prepared by HDR Engineering on beha f of the
Brighton Corporation, ACHD has approved these access points as stated in the letter attached in
Exhibit A. 6. The UDC restricts access points to arterial streets but allows for a Council waiver in
certain circumstances. A waiver from City Council is required to UDC 11-3A-3 for City
approval of the proposed accesses.
Two collector streets are depicted on the ACRD Master Street Map to be constructed across this
property — one north/south connection via W. Franklin Road and one east/west connection via S.
Ten Mile Road. The proposed plat depicts collector streets (Franklin Crossing Ave. & Ten Mile
Creek Dr.) in the areas depicted on the map. Ten Mile Creek Drive (at the southwest comer of the
site) comes into the site approximately 400 feet and terminates in a cul-de-sac. Because the
property boundary is irregular in this area, the street will not be extended until such time as the
property to the south develops. Franklin Crossing Avenue also terminates in a cul-de-sac at the
south boundary of the site and will eventually connect to Ten Mile Creek Drive when it is
extended in the future.
TM Creek AZ13-015; PP43-030 PAGE 14
EXHIBIT A
In addition to the above mentioned access points from the adjacent arterial streets, access via the
internal collector streets is proposed as follows: 6 access points (3 on each side) are depicted on
the site plan via Franklin Crossing Avenue [2 are full accesses; 1 (the one closest to Franklin
Road) is a right-in/right-out]; and 2 full -accesses are depicted via Ten Mile Creek Drive. The
UDC restricts access points to collector streets but allows for a Council waiver in certain
circumstances. A waiver from City Council is required to UDC 11-3A-3 for City approval of
these proposed accesses.
In order to limit access points via the arterial and collector streets, staff recommends a
cross-access/ingress-egress easement be granted to the property to the east (parcel
HS1214212620) in accord with UDC 11-3A-3.
Comments have not yet been received from ACHD on this application.
Water/Sewer Service: The proposed subdivision will be serviced by existing water and sewer
main stubs in S. Ten Mile Road and W. Franklin Road.
Pressurized Irrigation (PI): The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation systems be
supplied by a year-round source of water (MCC 12-13-8.3). The applicant agrees to use the
available City of Meridians reuse water supply for the primary source of irrigation by entering
into a development agreement with the City of Meridian. The applicant will be required to use
Meridian's reuse water with the construction of this development.
Storm Drainage: Storm water drainage is proposed to be managed and detained in underground
seepage beds on-site in accord with City, ACHD, and NMID requirements.
Multi -Use Pathway: A segment of the City's multi -use pathway (Ten Mile) system is designated
on the Pathways Master Plan through this site along the Ten Mile Creek to Franklin Road and
west to the Ten Mile/Franklin intersection. Another segment is also designated along the
frontage of this site on Ten Mile Road.
The landscape plan depicts a 10 -foot wide regional pathway along the southwest side of the creek
in accord with the Plan connecting to the sidewalk along W. Franklin Road. However, the
pathway dead -ends at the west side of Franklin Crossing Avenue near the east boundary of the
site.
Staff recommends the 10 -foot wide pathway be extended internally at its full width north to the
sidewalk along W. Franklin Road and to the east property boundary for future extension. The
pathway should switch to the north side of the creek on the east side of Franklin Crossing
Avenue. A crosswalk should be provided across Franklin Crossing Avenue for the pathway.
A temporary attached asphalt sidewalk exists along Ten Mile Road that was constructed with the
recent street improvements. Staff recommends a detached 10 -foot wide pathway is constructed
along S. Ten Mile Road some distance from the roadway and the existing temporary sidewalk is
removed. Staff further recommends a minimum 14 -foot wide public pedestrian easement for the
multi -use pathway(s) is submitted to the Planning Division, approved by City Council and
recorded prior to signature by the City Engineer on the first final plat.
Landscaping: A preliminary landscape plan was submitted with this application as shown in
Exhibit A.3. The UDC requires a minimum 35 -foot wide street buffer along S. Ten Mile Road, an
entryway corridor; and a minimum 25 -foot wide street buffer along W. Franklin Road, an arterial
street, landscaped in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-313-7C. The proposed landscape
plan depicts a 35 -foot wide buffer along both Ten Mile and Franklin Roads in compliance with
UDC standards.
The UDC also requires a minimum 20 -foot wide street buffer along collector streets (i.e. Franklin
Crossing Avenue and Ten Mile Creek Drive). However, the UDC did not anticipate the
TM Creek AZ -13-015; PP -13-030 PAGE 15
EXHIBIT A
requirements of the TMISAP for development within its boundary. Because the Franklin
Crossing Avenue street section north of the creek is consistent with the Plan in that buildings are
brought up to the street and wide pedestrian walkways are provided with tree wells, landscaping
within that section should be provided as proposed in accord with the Plan rather than in accord
with UDC standards. The remainder of the Franklin Crossing Avenue south of the creek and Ten
Mile Creek Drive should be required to provide a 20 -foot wide street buffer and landscaping in
accord with UDC standards.
Non-residential street buffers are required to be on a common lot or on a permanent dedicated
buffer, maintained by the property owner or business owners association in accord with UDC 1I -
3B -7C.2.
A cross-section of the landscaping proposed within the creek corridor is shown on the landscape
plan as detail A and is included in Exhibit A.3. Cross-sections of the street buffers are also
included on the landscape plan in details B, C, and D and should be revised in accord with the
conditions in this report.
Fencing: No fencing is proposed on the landscape plan. The UDC (11 -3A -6B) states that fencing
along all natural waterways (i.e. Ten Mile Creek) shall not prevent access to the waterway.
However, in limited circumstances and in the interest of public safety, larger open water systems
may require fencing as determined by the City Council, Director, and/or Public Works Director.
Open Space & Site Amenities: The open space and site amenity requirements listed in UDC 11-
3G-3 are not applicable to commercial developments. The multi -family portion of the site is
required to comply with these standards and those listed in UDC 114-3-27 upon development.
Sidewalks & Parkways: As set forth in UDC 11-3A-17, 5 -foot wide detached sidewalks are
required along all arterial and collector streets; the minimum width of parkways planted with
Class H trees is 8 feet. The width of sidewalks and parkways in the TMISAP differ from that in
the UDC depending on the type of street section provided.
A detached sidewalk was recently constructed along W. Franklin Road with the street widening
project; and a 5 -foot wide attached sidewalk exists along the portion of S. Ten Mile Road from
the nearest curb cut to the Ten Mile/Franklin Road intersection. The remainder of the sidewalks
and parkways constructed on this site should be consistent with the standards listed in UDC 1I -
3A -17 and the TMISAP except as otherwise noted.
Natural Features: The Ten Mile Creek bisects this site and is a natural waterway. As such, it is
required to remain open as a natural amenity and is not allowed to be piped or otherwise covered,
per UDC 11 -3A -6A.1. A 100 -feet wide easement is depicted on the plat for the creek.
The applicant proposes to pipe approximately 380 feet of the Ten Mile Creek nearest to
Franklin Road as shown on the landscape plan. The applicant asserts that without piping
this section of the creek locating a building on this prominent corner would be extremely
difficult. In an effort to mitigate this impact the applicant is proposing to enhance the
portion of the creek that remains open with landscaping and other amenities. Staff
recognizes the applicant's position but because the UDC does not allow natural waterways
to be covered, staff recommends the site plan be revised to show the Ten Mile Creek open
and preserved within this development, unless otherwise approved by the City Council.
Ditches, Laterals, Canals or Drainage Courses: Several waterways exist on this site. The
Kennedy Lateral runs along most of the southern boundary; the Vaughan Lateral runs along the
northern boundary at the northeast corner of the site; and a couple of other smaller irrigation
ditches cross the site.
Irrigation ditches, laterals, canals, and drains may be left open when used as a water amenity or
linear open space; otherwise, they are required to be piped, per UDC 11-3A-6.
TM Creek AZ -13-015; PP -13-030 PAGE 16
EXHIBIT A
Floodplain: Portions of this project are located within the Meridian Floodplain Overlay District.
Prior to any development occurring within the Overlay District the applicant is required to
submit, and the City shall review and approve, a floodplain development application which
includes the necessary analysis and documents under MCC Title 10, Chapter 6, including
hydraulic and hydrologic analysis.
Building Elevations: The applicant has submitted conceptual building elevations for the future
structures in this development, included in Exhibit A.S. All structures are required to comply with
the design standards listed in UDC 11-3A-19, the design features described in the TMIASP, and
the urban/suburban design guidelines contained in the design manual.
In summary, Staff recommends approval of the proposed annexation & zoning and preliminary
plat request for this site with the recommended conditions listed in Exhibit B of this report in
accord with the findings contained in Exhibit C.

ACHD staff has completed the comprehensive evaluation of the Ten Mile Area Accu Study Prepared
by HDR Engirteerirg oo behalf of the Brighton Corporation, Your ietter of March 9, 2010 requested
ACHD to evaluate the proposed access polMs on Ten Mile Road and Franklin Road for safety,
efficiency and consistency with ACHD policy. Over the past two months, staff has worked with
Brighton to further evaluate the access study and through an Iterative process bas readied a conclusion
satisfactory to both ACHD and Brighton,
Through this process ACHD las strived to balance the treads of the future development of the area as
envisioned by the City's land use planning efforts while maintaining the function and integrity of the
arterial roadway network. In our review of the information provided it was determined that root all of the
requested access points were necessary to serve the anticipated development of the area, nor could they
be safely accommodated along the arterial roadways. The final determination by ACHD is consistent
with ACHD policy, addresses safety concerns ACHD had with die original proposal and does not appear
to negatively impact the operation of the Ten Mile RoadlFronklin Road intersection nor the efficient
flow of tragic on Ten Mile and Franklin Roads in the vicinity.
ACHD approves the fdiowing access points on Ten Mile Road and Franklin Road for the 40 acre
Brighton parcel st the southeast comer of the intersection based upon the future hand use as designated
In the City's Comprehensive Plan. This approval is contingent upon the parcel developing consistent
with those land use designations and is subject to change or modification if the proposed land uses
and/or tragic conditions change in the future. All disrmices we approximate and will be determined and
approved by ACIID during design.

development;
The City Council finds there is public financial capability of supporting services for the
proposed development based on comments provided from the public service providers

welfare; and
Based on testimony presented for this project, the City Council finds the development
will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare. ACHD considers
road safety issues in their analysis.

Mark Niemeyer
Chief
Meridian Fire Department
Via Electronic Delivery
Dear Mark,
Thank you for the opportunity to provide a proposal to meet the City of Meridian's
strategic planning needs.
Approach
Based on our conversation, there are three needs which this proposal addresses:
articulating a shared strategic direction for the City, articulating the major goals of the
City, and developing the capabilities of the leadership team to effectively lead the
execution of the resulting strategic plan. This proposal will address each of these needs.
I recommend we begin the planning process with research and interviews with key
leaders and then follow with an initial planning session in which a strategic planning
team determines the long-term direction for the organization. This session will be used
to articulate and gain unity for four high-level statements: values, purpose, vision and
mission. Directional statements provide meaning for the organization's work and will be
invaluable as the City grows.
The first session will be followed by sessions focused on articulating the City's major
goals objectives and actions. These will tie directly to the stated direction of the
organization.
I propose conducting the planning process using our Dimensional StrategyO system.
Dimensional StrategyO is dynamic framework for designing and executing a strategic
plan. An overview of Dimensional StrategyO is enclosed for your review.

City of Meridian Preservation Plan TAG Historical Research & Consulting

I. Introduction — The Purpose of the Preservation Plan
Meridian's rich history is illustrated in many buildings and sites which possess architectural
and historical interest. Whether they are 19th century and early 20th century farmsteads or
early 20th century downtown or residential buildings, these historic resources make an
important contribution to Meridian's sense of place and economy. The Meridian Historic
Preservation Commission (MHPC) seeks to preserve the character and fabric of historically -
significant areas and structures within the City of Meridian to honor and preserve its heritage
for future generations.
The City of Meridian recognizes the importance of historic resources and historic
preservation to the community. The purpose of the city's Comprehensive Plan (2011) is to
"preserve some of the small town character and charm while looking to progress as a
community."' The goals and policies for historic preservation included within the
Comprehensive Plan are key to its purpose.
Historic preservation includes buildings, structures, neighborhoods, and landscapes which
help relate the story of Meridian. The history of the community and an understanding of
how it became what it is today will help to shape its future. Preservation of historic
resources will help meet the Comprehensive Plan's goal to maintain Meridian's small town
character. An historic preservation plan is essential to the process.
This plan is intended to provide the City of Meridian and the Historic Preservation
Commission with specific community preservation goals and objectives and provide the
step-by-step guidance to achieve them.
II. Regulations, Programs & Management
A. The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966
The Federal government has established historic preservation programs in recognition of its
responsibility to protect historic, cultural, and natural resources on federally owned lands.
The cornerstone of the national program is The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966
(NHPA). The NHPA establishes as Federal policy that the government will provide a
leadership in the preservation of historic resources and will administer a national
preservation program in partnership with states, Indian tribes, and local governments. In
addition the act establishes that Federal policy should contribute to the preservation of non -
federally owned historic resources and provide encouragement to organizations and
individuals undertaking preservation by private means (ACHP 2008).
The NHPA has been amended by Congress over the years to improve, clarify and reaffirm
the national program. Key elements of the NHPA and the National Historic Preservation
Program include:
B. National Register of Historic Places
The NHPA authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to maintain the National Register of
Historic Places, which recognizes historic properties of national, state and local significance.
City of Meridian Preservation Plan TAG Historical Research & Consulting
2014 3
It is composed of districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects significant in American
history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture. The National Register is the
nation's official list of historic properties that have been
determined worthy of preservation.
Listing on the National Register is an honorary
recognition. It recognizes the importance of a historic
resource without placing any obligations or restrictions
on the resource owner. Listing does not give the
Federal government any ownership rights or regulatory
controls with respect to a property.

listed in the National Register of Historic
Places. Photo by Lila HID.
C. Certified Local Government Program
The Certified Local Government Program (CLG) is a partnership between local, state and
national governments which focuses on promoting historic preservation at the grass roots
level. The CLG program was created under the NHPA to insure that local governments will
be eligible to receive technical and financial assistance to strengthen their local historic
preservation efforts and expand their historic preservation activities. The program is jointly
administered by the National Park Service (NPS) and State Historic Preservation Office
(SHPO) who works with each local community working through a certification process to
become recognized as a CLG. CLGS then become an active partner in the Federal Historic
Preservation Program and the opportunities it provides.
CLGS agree to expand their responsibilities through the enactment and enforcement of
historic preservation ordinances, by the appointment of boards of historical and architectural
review or historical commissions, and by commenting on National Register nominations
within their jurisdiction. In addition, they agree to provide an annual report of their
preservation activities.
III. History of Meridian
Meridian's history, like the history of many southwestern Idaho towns, is linked directly to
irrigation and the development of productive farm land from and lands. The first settlement
in the area was near Five Mile Creek, the closest source of water. Enough people were in
the area by 1885 to open a school. The Idaho Central Railway constructed a line from
Nampa to Boise in 1887. The following year, the U. S. Postal Service established a mail drop
on the railroad at a point midway from Nampa to Boise. The drop was named "Hunter,"
after John Hunter, who was superintendent of the Idaho Central. A trading center began to
develop at the railroad, and in August of 1893 C. G. Zenger filed a plat for a new town, to
be named "Meridian," after its location on the Boise Meridian. The post office name was
changed to Meridian in April 1894.'
Irrigated agriculture was key to Meridian's development. The Settlers Ditch Company was
established October 30th, 1884. The original locators of the canal and water right were
Christian R. Purdum, Adolphus Purdum, and William H. Smith. They made their filing on
October 17, 1884, claiming water to irrigate land west of Boise City. The canal began on the
south side of the river at a point on the head of the Government Hay Reservation, now
City of Meridian Preservation Plan TAG Historical Research & Consulting
2014 4
known as Ann Morrison Park. According to the Settlers Irrigation District (SID), today the
canal measures approximately 20 miles in length with 95 miles of laterals. Water deliveries
for the main canal begin at North Mitchell Street in Boise and end approximately one half
mile west of Black Cat Road dumping into the Five Mile Drain. Water deliveries for the
south side of the Settlers Canal begin west of Five Mile Road and south of Ustick Road
eventually dumping into a Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District (NMID) drain below
Black Cat Road.
Although the Settlers Ditch Company was organized in 1884, it was not until 1886 that the
ditch began to take shape. Initially the ditch was to be constructed by the farmers who were
settling in the western part of Ada County. Unfortunately the farmers were unable to
complete the work themselves. In 1885 they signed a contract with Alexander McGee and
James Stewart, organizers of the Phyllis Canal Company. Under the terms of the contract,
McGee and Stewart would continue construction of the ditch. When McGee and Stewart
failed to complete the work, the farmers took the ditch back. They were able to persuade a
few local businessmen to purchase stock in the canal company. In 1887 John Lemp took
over direction of the Settlers Ditch which then became known as the Lemp Canal.
Under Lemp's ownership the main canal was completed in 1891, extending approximately
eight miles from the head gate. A system of laterals was constructed to furnish water to the
farmers. By 1896 so many settlers had taken up land under the Lemp Canal that even
funning to its full capacity it was no longer able to supply the demand for water. In 1901
Lemp sold the project to the newly organized Settlers Canal Company Ltd. who continued
its operation. The name of the main canal was changed back
to the Settlers Canal.
The Nampa Meridian Irrigation District (NMID),
established in 1904, is also important to Meridian's
agricultural history. The Farmers Lateral is associated with
the Ridenbaugh Canal system, which was the largest pre -
federal irrigation project in the Boise Valley. In 1877,
William B. Morris, an early Boise City settler, claimed over
17,000 acres under the Desert Land Act on the first bench

Photo by TAG. system. He hired these future farmers to begin construction
on a large canal that would not only serve irrigation
purposes but also transport lumber and provide power for a sawmill. Seven miles of canal
were completed when Morris died in 1878. After his death, the capital to expand the canal
system evaporated and his widow Lavinia and their nephew, William Ridenbaugh, to whom
ownership of the canal had passed, could only afford to oversee the seven miles of canal that
had already been built. However, farmers that had purchased land from Morris wished to
keep their property and to do so needed to provide water to their acreage under the Desert
Land Act. They continued to expand the canal in small increments until Ridenbaugh sold
the canal and water rights to the Central Canal and Land Company in 1889.
This company invested $67,000 over the next two years but became discouraged with the
limited capital return and sold the canal to the Boise City and Nampa Irrigation Land and
City of Meridian Preservation Plan TAG Historical Research & Consulting

Lumber Company (BCNILLC) in 1890. The Ridenbaugh canal system was sold again in
1894 for $123,149.00 to the Boise City Irrigation Land and Lumber Company. By this time,
the main canal was 51 miles long and supported 271 miles of secondary canals and laterals.
Additional facilities included 23 large gates, 109 check gates, 296 taps, 280 weirs, 33 culverts,
two flumes 500 feet long and several smaller flumes. By 1903, the estimated construction
cost of the Ridenbaugh system was in excess of $405,000. The financial burden of
maintaining the canal network eventually became too great and the Boise City Irrigation
Land and Lumber Company sold the Ridenbaugh Canal to the Nampa and Meridian
Irrigation District (NMID) in 1906.
NMID was formed in 1904 because of the enactment of House Bill 266 by the Idaho
Legislature five years earlier. The legislation provided for the organization of irrigation
districts that would manage water delivery systems throughout Idaho. The act gave each
district the authority to construct, purchase or otherwise obtain the necessary water rights,
irrigation works, canals and ditches including those built or in the process of construction by
private owners and to provide land owners with sufficient water for irrigation.
NMID is the source for most of the irrigation in the immediate area. Meridian (old town) is
all served by the Hunter lateral which extends from the Ridenbaugh Canal northwest
through Meridian Cemetery and continues to the north where it meets the Settlers Canal.
Irrigated agriculture encouraged settlers from Missouri, Iowa, and other areas flocked to the
area, taking up land surrounding Meridian and establishing farms. Around the turn of the
20`h century, settlers established fruit orchards and built fruit packing businesses and prune
dryers along the railroad tracks. Local orchards produced many varieties of apples and Italian
prunes. Production continued through the mid -1940s, when it was no longer profitable and
the businesses closed.
As the population of southwestern states grew in the early 20`h century, so did the demand
for dairy products. The increased demand came at the same time as the introduction of
concrete silos and other technological advances, which in turn brought more farmers turned
to dairy production. Meridian's location near both the Oregon Short Line and the interurban
track system (connecting communities from Boise to Caldwell) was a great benefit to the
dairy industry. Farmers used both the railroad and the interurban lines to ship their milk to
creameries and cheese factories. Meridian was the site of a creamery as early as 1897, when
the Meridian Creamery was incorporated, and a cheese factory was established in 1913, part
of an agricultural boom which continued into the years of World War I. When the war
ended, prices fell dramatically for grain, cattle and sheep, but farmers persevered. Meridian
historian Lila Hill notes that the Ada County Dairymen's Association creamery was the
center of the area's economy from 1929-1970. Buildings related to the ACDA creamery
formed the core of downtown Meridian
World War II brought another boom to Meridian. Some returning veterans used the loan
programs of the Serviceman's Readjustment Act of 1944 (popularly known as the GI Bill) to
purchase existing farms where they raised cattle feed for their dairy herds and sold milk. By
the mid-1950s, in addition to being a thriving agricultural center, Meridian was also home to
several industries: The ACDA creamery, two lumber processing plants — Brock Lumber and
City of Meridian Preservation Plan TAG Historical Research & Consulting
2014 6
Meridian Moulding --and the Storey Hatchery. Agricultural and industrial growth also led to a
housing boom. Five new subdivisions were added to the city between 1948 and 1950.'
During the early 21" century, Meridian's character changed from an agricultural community
to a sophisticated urban center. It had grown from a rural center to a thriving commercial,
social, and residential urban community.

The City of Meridian has an active historic preservation program that has been an important
part of the city for over 25 years. Meridian City Code Title 2, Chapter 1 established the
Historic Preservation Commission and outlines its duties and powers. The commission was
established to promote the educational, cultural, economic and general welfare of the public
of the city through the identification, evaluation, designation, documentation, and protection
of those buildings, sites, areas, structures, and objects which reflect significant elements of
the city's the state's, and the nation's historic architectural, archaeological, and cultural
heritage. The city's adopted Comprehensive Plan (2011) includes goals and policies for
historic preservation. The Historic Preservation Commission consists of five members
serving three-year terms. At least two appointed members have professional training or
experience in the disciplines of architecture, history, architectural history, urban planning,
archaeology, engineering, law other historic preservation related disciplines.
In addition to the work of the MHPC the Meridian History Center, a volunteer -operated
education center is located on the fust floor of City Hall and includes a depository for
archival records, photographs, objects, and exhibits relating to Meridian's history. Meridian
was named an Idaho Heritage City for recognizing and encouraging preservation and
interpretation of its cultural heritage.
Meridian is designated as a Certified Local Government (CLG) under a state and federal
program administered by the Idaho Historical Society through the State Historic
Preservation Office (SHPO). The CLG designation indicates that the city's historic
preservation program meets state and national criteria for preservation planning. The MHPC
has undertaken several historic resources survey to identify historic resources and has
followed the guidelines of the Idaho SHPO for local surveys.
The Idaho SHPO has adopted guidelines for historic sites survey as identified in the Secretary
of the Interor's Standards and Giadelanes far Identification of Historic Resources. The Idaho H storic
Sites Inventory (IHSI) is a statewide inventory of architectural and historic properties,
City of Meridian Preservation Plan TAG Historical Research & Consulting
2014 7
serving as a permanent record of all known historic buildings, structures, objects, sites, and
districts. SHPO supports an ongoing effort to identify and record historic properties
statewide and evaluate their eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).
To be eligible for listing on the NRHP, a property must be at least 50 years old, possess
integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, and
meet at least one of following four criteria:
A. The property is associated with events that have made a significant
contribution to the broad patterns of our history ("history"); or
B. The property is associated with the lives of significant persons in or past
("people"); or
C. The property embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period,
or method of construction, or represents the work of a master, or possesses
high artistic values, or represents a significant and distinguishable entity
whose components may lack individual distinction ("architecture"); or
D. has yielded or may be likely to yield, information important in history or
prehistory ("archaeology").
There are two levels of historic sites survey: reconnaissance level and intensive level. A
reconnaissance survey is a "once over" inspection of an area, useful in characterizing its
resources in general and for developing a basis of how to organize more detailed efforts.
An intensive level survey is designed to identify precisely and completely all historic
resources in the area being studied. It generally involves detailed background research, and a
thorough documentation of all historic properties in the field with contemporary
photographs and extensive field notes.
A. Historic Sites Inventory
The following is a summary of historic resources documented in Meridian to date, including
resources that have been listed in the National Register Historic Places.
In 1987 the Meridian Reconnaissance Survey (IHSI Survey Report #132) was undertaken to
survey commercial and residential properties built before 1926 within the downtown core.
The survey was completed by volunteers directed by Lila Hill and following SHPO survey
guidelines.
Consultants were hired to complete later surveys. In 2005, Emily Peeso conducted the
Meridian Reconnaissance Survey Phase 1 (IHSI Survey Report #307). Madeline Buckendorf
conducted the 2007 City of Meridian Impact Area Resurvey (IHSI Survey Report #361) to
update the survey forms for fifteen previously recorded historic properties. In 2011 TAG
Historical Research and Consulting undertook a windshield survey within the Ten Mile
Interchange Specific Area and identified 31 properties which merited intensive survey. The
intensive level survey was conducted by TAG the following year.

The surveys have documented commercial buildings within the City's core related to its
agricultural heritage. They include grain elevators, a feed mill, a wagon shop, a cheese
factory, and numerous shops. Historic public buildings include a public library, Meridian
Rural High School and a municipal pumping station. Numerous historic private residences
have also been recorded.
Outside the City core, but within the Area of Impact, architectural resources that have been
recorded include historic farmsteads, residences, hay derricks, irrigation facilities, and
schools. No geological sites or monuments have been identified in Meridian, nor are there
any Native American sites recorded within the Area of Impact. A list of all sites recorded in
the Meridian Area of Impact from 1985 through 2013 is attached as Appendix A.

While preservationists seek to protect and enhance the historic built environment, change is
constant. Not all goals may be achieved, and priorities may shift over time. Historic
resources may be lost before they can be preserved, and new places may be recognized as
historically significant. The Meridian Historic Preservation Commission will revisit this Plan
periodically to refine Meridian's preservation planning goals as the community develops.

Meridian Area of Impact
Historic site survey is a tool used to document buildings, structures, historic sites, and
archaeological resources and make recommendations regarding eligibility to the
National Register of Historic Places. The State Historic Preservation Office, which
operates in Idaho under the auspices of the Idaho State Historical Society, uses
standards established by the National Park Service to collect information for the
Idaho Historic Sites Inventory, a database of information for thousands of sites in
Idaho.
Particular sites may appear in more than one survey report. Change is inevitable and
site records are updated from time to time for various reasons. If a project involves a
site that was previously recorded, the SHPO asks that the information be updated if
the original recordation is more than five years old.
Surveys which cover areas in the Meridian Area of Impact include a 1985 survey of
selected rural sites in Ada County conducted by staff of the State Historic
Preservation Office; a more comprehensive survey conducted by consultants Belinda
Davis and Barbara Perry Bauer in 1989; and updated surveys conducted 1998-2000 by
Renewable Technologies, Inc. (1998) and The Arrowrock Group, Inc., (1999-2000)
for the Ada County Historic Preservation Commission. A survey of the Ten Mile
Road Specific Area was completed by TAG Historical Research & Consulting for the
Meridian Historic Preservation Commission in 2011 and 2012.
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1965, as amended, requires
cultural resource surveys for projects that include a federal undertaking. An
"undertaking" may include, but is not limited to, projects using federal funds,
requiring a federal permit, or completed by federal agencies. For example, a number
of surveys in the Meridian Area of Impact have been completed as part of highway
construction or improvement projects.
Site surveys conducted within the city of Meridian are outlined on page 8 of the
Meridian Historic Preservation Plan.
The attached list of sites recorded in the Meridian Area of Impact was provided by
the Idaho State Historic Preservation Office. The report was created by Belinda Davis
from the Idaho Historic Sites Inventory database.

Cl
Approach
• Substantial portion of NPDES Cost =
Capacity (Largely Growth Dependant)
• Sewer assessment unable to meet current
growth and regulatory demands
• Increase sewer assessment (Connection
Fee) by $7501connection
• Current sewer connection rate = $2,749
• Proposed sewer connection rate = $3,499
• At 125 connections per month =
$9M in 8 years
