1. CALL TO ORDER: Mayor calls the meeting to order at 5 :50 p.m.
2. ROLL CALL: BASTIAN, GUERBER, NORDSTROM, BANDY. All present. A
quorum is present.
3. BUDGET DISCUSSION ITEMS:
Mayor: I would ask to amend the Agenda to put Parks in the first discussion.
Guerber: So moved. Seconded by Bastian. ALL AYES: MOTION
CARRIES........... ...
PARKS:
Pathway Streamside Subdivision:
City Attorney Buxton: We had a Development Agreement for Streamside that required
them to put the pathway in and we actually have money set aside for the pathway. The
pathway would not have been developed until such time that the path on each side of it
coming in from Bandbury and Westover Lakes and these have been completed. It
appears to us that these other pathways are going in and it makes sense for you to go
ahead and have the pathway at Streamside also built.
Mayor: It is my understanding that one of the property owners has encumbered the
easement by building over it.
Zoning Administrator Vaughan: The two pathways identified on the plat are located
between Lots 28 and 29 which are on the North side of the subdivision and the other one
is at the far West of the Subdivision that extends along Lots 2 I and 22. The easement
area between Lots 28 and 29 the owner on the West side of the easement encroached a
little bit with their flat work for a drive way. There is still sufficient room within the
easement area to get something through there. Our recommendation is to have both lots
surveyed so that we identify the property pins. The survey can be done for $1,400. The
wetlands will have to be identified. General discussion. Removing the brush could take
three to four loads about $300 per load. We have volunteer work to move the sprinklers.
120 yards of cinders at an estimate of $2,100. Clear and grub the pathway approximately
$9,000 but it could be less if we can get volunteers. Supervising the project by Holladay
Engineers would be approximately $300. We have a total estimate of$15,593 less the
$5,000 we are currently holding from the developer. Cost to the City would be $10,593.
The Pathway Committee would like to see this work done this fiscal year. General
discussion.
Beagle Park: Mick McCurry, I called the City of Boise and asked them what their plans
were for the park. I was informed that they have nothing in their 5 year plan for Beagle
Park. They were counting on Capital Youth Soccer to come up with some funds. They
are looking at Eagle for infrastructure. They were looking to Eagle to take the lead and
Page 1

start the development and once that happens they may be able to get some money into
their budget.
General discussion on the Development Agreement for Beagle Park.
Council will look at the total budget before deciding to dedicate any funds to Beagle Park.
General discussion on a 5 year Strategic Plan for Parks.
City Attorney Buxton: Discussion on the request for proposals received for a Parks
Master Plan. The City received a few responses one of which was WRG for $60,000.
They sent a contract over and their scope of work and after reviewing the scope of work it
is probably in excess of what you need because a lot of the information they are
proposing to gather you already have. There are other parts to the contract that are
completely unacceptable. We may want to go ahead and reject all of those proposals at
this time and go out for a different proposal because it appears that there are other people
that may be interested. Also we may be able to combine this with other things that we are
doing like looking at the BLM property. My recommendation to you is to amend the
Agenda and reject all of the bids at this time. General discussion.
General Park improvements: Park Committee is meeting tomorrow night.
Discussion on the restroom at Friendship Park, a trash enclosure at OK Park and repairing
of the Skateboard Park.
Council concurs to move forward with assessing the repair of the Skateboard Park and
adding funds in the budget for the repairs.
Discussion on the completion of Guerber Park.
Council would like funds dedicated to the Eagle Sports Complex.
Discussion on the bumpers for the Roller Hockey.
Recreation Department
Discussion on sewer and water to Friendship Park.
Discussion repair to the Brookwood Pathway.
Discussion on acquiring the BLM land for a park.
Discussion on starting a recreation department.
The remainder of the items will be continued to the next Budget Workshop.

Growth Goal
Ensure Eagle's civil services grow with the
city without adding a financial burden to
existing citizens while providing the same

How growth pays
for itself
Require developers to provide estimated costs from service
agencies in their package for city approval
For example: Today, Eagle has a ration of 1 deputy/1,000 citizens.
To maintain that level of service, Eagle decides to charge $ to
provide patrol services per house (or permit).
That $ would be added to the city's law enforcement budget to add
the additional deputy (or equipment or vehicle) in order to ensure the
same level of service is provided.
GARY IRANEY, SHERIFF
How growth pays
for itself
RECOMMENDATIONS
➢ City of Eagle determines cost* of patrol services by looking at:
• the number of homes planned for the development;
• the current ratio of deputies to residents in Eagle;
• the cost of a patrol; and
• the cost of a patrol per household
➢ Bill developers for the number of building permits approved
• The one-time fee covers patrol -associated costs until residents
move in and local governments establish the tax structure that will
pay for the police services required
GARY RANEY, SHERIFF
Conclusions
s( Eagle will continue to grow at a rate of about 25%
over the next 20 years
✓ Growth costs all of us
✓ Developers should absorb these costs until the tax
structure can

Lower Boise River Green LiDAR Project
June 2006
Proiect Overview
The project area is the lower Boise River from Lucke Peak Dam to the Snake
River (see F=ig. 1). The project goal is to acquire green LiDAR (Light Detecting and
Ranging) for the river and the 500 -year floodplain. LiDAR technology is one of the most
accurate and cost-effective ways to capture wide -area elevation information to produce
highly detailed Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). Green LiDAR is an emerging
r . Digital
technology that is available for this project using the Experimental Advanced Airborne
Research Lidar (EAARL) operated by the National Atmospheric and Space
Administration. Recent applications have been done on streams in the Middle Fork
Salmon River. Idaho. the Platte River in Nebraska and the Walker I.ake in Nevada.
Potential Applications
Green LiDAR vas selected as the technology for this project because it penetrates
water. providing a seamless map of riparian vegetation. floodplain topography and
channel banks and hedforms over whole stream networks (bathymetric contours).
In addition. green LiDAR can provide accurate terrestrial information namely. a "bare
earth" elevation grid (see Fig. 2) and a "first return- elevation grid (see Fig. 3). These
topographic products can then be used to create contours or for flood risk evaluation. and
to determine floodplain and stream banks. The data can also be used in groundwater
models. The first return grid can be used to determine building footprints and to map
vegetative cover.
LiDAR can be integrated with other data sets. including orthophotos.
multispectral. hyperspectral and panchromatic imagery (see Fig. 4). LiDAR is combined
with Geographic Information System (GIS) data and other surveying information to
generate complex geomorphic -structure mapping products. building renderings. advanced
three dimensional modeling/earthworks and many more high quality mapping products.
A green LiDAR product showing the contours of a streambed (bathymetric contours) is
in Fig. 5.
Partners
Federal. state and local agencies and non governmental organizations have
research and management interests on the Boise River that will be advanced by the
LiDAR data. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is willing to cost share on this project if
there are contributing partners providing evidence of local interest and commitment.
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has agreed to be the contracting agency for this
project. The USBR needs Ietters of commitment by Friday. June 23. in order for the
project to proceed. The contact person is: Allyn Meuleman. 383-2258.

Re: Conflict Waiver
Dear Susan:
As you know, we are representing the City of Eagle (the "City") in connection with the possible
acquisition of certain private property.
As we discussed, from time to time we represent other clients adversely to the City in land use
matters and anticipate being asked to do so in the future. Therefore, this letter will confirm our
discussions regarding the conditions under which we may represent clients adverse to the City
while performing legal services for the City now or in the future.
We request that you consent to our present and future representation of any client adverse to the
City in land use matters and your acknowledgment that our representation of the City will not
disqualify us from representing clients adverse to the City in land use matters as long as two
conditions are met:
1. The representation does not involve any work that we have done for the City; and
2. The representation would not place us in a position to use the City's confidential
information adversely to it.
Because the work that the City has asked us to perform is unrelated to land use matters, we do
not believe that there is a material risk that the City's confidential information will be used
adversely to it. Similarly, the lack of a relationship between the present matter for which we are
representing the City and our work for other clients on land use matters suggests to us that there
is little risk that our efforts on the City's behalf will be affected. Although we do not believe that
these factors would affect our representation of the City, you should review this yourself.

To emphasize that conflict waivers are important decisions, I recommend that you review the
issue of consent with independent counsel. Whether you actually do, however, is up to you.
Please let me know if you have any questions. To confirm your consent, I would appreciate your
signing the enclosed counterpart of this letter and returning it to me for our files.
Sincerely,
