City Attorney Buxton: We have been trying to find a constitutional way to finance the purchase
of the Oppenheimer Property. You have appropriated $300,000 for the purchase of the property
and the cost of the property is $493,980.00. Oppenheimer have agreed to extend the option to a
closing date of April 30, 2002. The City will do a lease purchase agreement with Wells Fargo
Bank and assign the Option to the Bank and the Bank will purchase the land and the City will'
lease/purchase the land and improvements. The first payment will be the $300,000.00. I would
like the Council to agree to the terms in the Agreement To Extend Option To Purchase Real
Property and To Establish A Closing Date.

Merrill moves to approve the Agreement To Extend Option To Purchase Real Property
and To Establish A Closing Date. Seconded by Sedlacek. Merrill: AYE; Sedlacek: AYE;
Guerber: AYE; ALL AYES: MOTION CARRIES ..................
Mayor: The Zoning Administrator needs to bring a couple of items before the City Council.
Zoning Administrator Vaughan. Discuss the letter that was sent to lTD regard the right in and
right out intersection and that the City would withdraw the appeal and the Barry Marcus letter.
Mayor: I have had a discussion with Barry Marcus and Barry's concem is that in the letter we
sent we gave up our right to appeal if they give us a right in right out, his thinking is that may
have been a mistake and the City might want to follow up with another letter retracting that.
City Attomey Buxton: Barry wants the City to send a letter that makes a case for a full signal
and for the City not to give up on its appeal. That is up to the City on how they want to do that.
We could clarify the letter and say: "To clarify our January letter our intent is that we will only
withdraw our appeal and ability to go to the Board if you give us an approval without any
conditions of a right in and right out". General discussion.
Zoning Administrator Vaughan: I need to discuss mediation with Brighton Corporation. The
minutes say that "we submit the Findings for Mediation". It was my recollection that the Council
still wanted to be able to vote on the mediation again based on the information that was brought
back to you. The appeal period is apparently on hold. If that is not the situation then the 28-day
appeal period would be running from your action on the 22"a.
City Attorney Buxton: The motion made states: "Bastian moves to approve the Findings of Fact
and Conclusions of Law for A-6-01 & RZ-9-01 Brighton Corporation and that upon approving
the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law that we submit these to mediation. Seconded by
Sedlacek. Discussion. ALL AYE: MOTION CARRIES....". This is submitted to mediation
under Title 67 and they are going to meet with the homeowners; come back and tell me that they
have met. I need you to designate one or two of you to participate in the mediation. I would like
to do our first mediation without hiring a mediator and if this works great. All you are obligated
to is one mediation. General discussion on the full Council being at mediation.
General discussion on the mediation procedure.
City Attorney Buxton will proceed to schedule the mediation as an open meeting. General
discussion.
Zoning Administrator Vaughan: P&Z approved one or two comp plan amendments that will be
forwarded to the City Council in the future. The governing body can only make a change to the
Comp Plan once every six months. With updating our impact area with Boise City we will need
to try and schedule all of these changes so we can have everything completed to comply with the
one change every six months. General discussion. One Resolution will be done for all of the
changes.
