inspection of the sites. General discussion regarding water delivery, water rights,
enfomement for compliance.
Council agrees to direct staff to work with Ken Rice to see what other municipalities
regarding pressurized irrigation systems within subdivisions. Council member Sedlacek
volunteers to assist staff in this effort.
B. Ada County Sheriff's Office will discuss recent incidents involvine Juveniles.
Sgt. Calley informs Council of incidents at Albertson's and Eagle Pavilion, involving
disorderly conduct and some property destruction. Unfortunately, all of the complaints
were received the day after the events transpired. Sgt. Calley has contacted the SRO at
Eagle High School. They are hoping to create some type of student court to address
unacceptable behavior on and offcampus. The Sheriffs Office did a high profile
saturation at Albertson's to try and curb some of the unacceptable behavior. Within the
last three weeks there has been approximately 30 vehicle burglaries. He also notes that a
neighborhood watch program has been instigated because of the burglaries.
Discussion on getting Eagle High School becoming a closed campus and what process
needs to be followed. A young man from Meridian High School notes that they had a
similar problem last year, and the school closed campus for 1 week and that's all it took
to modify the students behavior.
C. General Transportation Planning & TIP Priorities for FY 2002: Ali Bonakdar &
Katey Levihn presenting.
Mayor introduces the item.
Scott Nordstrom arrives at 7:10 p.m.
Ali Bonakdar, with COMPASS, discusses transportation priorities and transportation
enhancement.
Katey Levihn, with ACHD, reviews a report regarding the status of items listed on the
February 2, 2000 letter from the City. The report is attached to the minutes. General
discussion.
Loren Thomas with ITD comments on federal funds received by Idaho. Guerber
questions how to get the City's priority items addressed by ITD. Mr. Thomas states that
he does receive information from the TIP. He notes that each time there is an accident
reported it filters through to the ITD tracking system. It generally takes a 3 year time
frame from the time a safety item is identified until it can be scheduled to be addressed.
Discussion regarding subdivision access, speed limits, and street improvements.
Bloom would like ACHD to consider surrounding areas when submitting traffic studies
for applications received by the City. It would also be nice to have an ACHD traffic
representative to attend a Commission meeting.
General discussion.
Sgt. Calley feels that items 2, 3, 4 on the February 2, 2000 letter should take high priority
from a safety perspective. These three items (per the ACHD report) are ITD issues. #4
needs to be re-worded. Also feels an additional item should be added reading #10: All
right turn lanes on all comers for the intersection of State Highway 44 and Park Rd. Sgt.
Calley feels that if items 2, 3, 4 are properly addressed, then item #17 would not be
necessary.
Discussion regarding the reduction of speed limits. Franden suggests adding an item
regarding the reduction of the speed limits. Discussion to re-prioritize the priorities for
TIP.
Vaughan reads back to the Council and Commission the prioritization of the items
discussed tonight. See attachment.
Bastian moves to approve the TIP list as prioritized by City Council and the
Planning and Zoning Commission tonight. Directs staff re-write the list for
presentation to Planning and Zoning Commission for approval. Seconded by
Sedlacek. ALL AYE...MOTION CARRIES.
Merrill moves proceed to write the letters to request the studies to lower the speed
limits and do it by resolution. Seconded by Sedlacek. ALL AYE...MOTION
CARRIES.
