6. UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
6A 5B. Cooperative Agreement between Valley Regional Transit& City of Eagle for
Annual Dues and Service Contribution.
Butler would like the Clerk's Office to review the minutes [07/23/13 minutes] from the budget
reviewed and contact Valley Regional Transit. He remembers that Kellie Fairless said there
were 2 bus stops in Eagle, and they wanted another$6,000-$7,000 for a 3rd bus stop. But, there
is only 1 bus that comes to Eagle. Butler would like to see what was said in the minutes and also
he would like the contract to refer to how many bus stops Eagle will get. By bus stops, he means
how many busses coming out here and stopping to drop people off or pick people up. As
opposed to this money is going to fund their overall system. Bus route 44 is mentioned in the
cooperative agreement, but it doesn't state that with the funding they plan on coming out 3 times
in the morning and 3 times in the evening. Staff is directed to invite Kellie Fairless to the next
meeting and amend the contract to reflect the 3 a day route.
Butler moves this to the next meeting on November 12`h. Seconded by Defayette. ALL
AYEE. MOTION CARRIES.

rather that going elsewhere. Defayette would like to investigate local Eagle companies having
the opportunity to provide these services.
Aho states that the City must stay with TVR for one year because of the one year warranty on the
equipment just installed at the Library, but he can looking into qualified providers that may be in
Eagle and bring it back to Council at a later date..
Butler moves to continue item 5F to the next Council meeting to give Mike time to see if we
can get some local Eagle businesses to come forward and maybe we can consider them.
Seconded by Defayette. ALL AYE...MOTION CARRIES.
6C-G Minutes of October 9,2013 meeting with Ada County Commissioners.

agenda. The Commissioners agreed to move items 3 and 4 to number 1 and 2 on the agenda, and
moved the other items down, however the items that were bumped lower on the agenda were
never addressed. She would just like the minutes to reflect that.
These minutes are to be amended and brought back for action at the next meeting.

A. Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Eagle and Japheth,LLC: Japheth,
LLC, represented by Doug Clegg, is requesting approval of a Memorandum of Understanding
between the City and Japheth, LLC to allow the removal of the berm located between Guerber
Park and Echohawk Way as part of the gravel pit reclamation process. The material removed
from the berm is proposed to be used in the reclamation of the expired gravel pit formerly located
within the preliminary plat of Arbor Ridge Subdivision. The 25.9-acre site is located near the
northwest corner of Hill Road and State Highway 55. This item was continued from the October
8, 2013 meeting.
Mayor Reynolds introduces the item.
Doug Clegg 1342 E. Covey Run Eagle, Idaho. He has met with the neighbors and addressed
approximately 8 specific items including: berming, work hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.),
providing a letter of credit, location of the pedestrian path, Highway 55 landscaping
improvements, berming between new homes and Guerber Park, work with the City to provide
access to the irrigation system. Discussion.
City Attorney Buxton, states there will be another MOU that will fully incorporate the items Mr.
Clegg, City Staff and Mr. Clegg's attorney.
Steve Deckers, 2249 Dickey Circle Eagle, Idaho. Mr. Clegg's statements do accurately reflect
the meetings that took place. He cautions the City that it is a substantial amount of value that the
City is transferring to Mr. Clegg, so be sure to get adequate quid pro quo for that. The amount
of materials that are there,that if it had to be trucked in from offsite represent about $1.2 million
dollars. So when you go onto the MOU, but also the subsequent land use make sure there is
adequate buffer that enhances the park. To protect the neighbors and the users of the park.
Discussion.
Angela Deckers 2249 Dickey Circle Eagle, Idaho. Mr. Clegg has agreed to operating hours of 8-
5 weekdays only, no weekends or holidays. Discussion.
City Attorney Buxton, relays the history of this specific site, interaction with Mr. Clegg. They
will bring something back addressing the actual reclamation work, the removal of the material
and the end product the City will get on the property dealing with the berms, bringing the
irrigation in from Highway 55 and the Farmers Union Area. There has always been an
agreement that any excess water rights that are not necessary for the project would be transferred
to the City. The transfer of these rights has been agreed to by Mr. Clegg. Discussion regarding
legal requirements for public works sole source notifications and MOU options.
Butler moves to approve the memorandum of understanding between the City of Eagle and
Japheth LLC as provided at the last meeting,with modifications to be worked on between
City Attorney and Japheth LLC. To include the following: A notice for bid shall be put out
as discussed by City Attorney; the hours of operation shall be between 8-5 on weekdays,
except that no work shall be done on weekends and holidays; a method shall be provided
for dust suppression in accordance with DEQ; no lighting shall be used during work unless

any water rights that are left over,after the water rights necessary for the development of
the property shall be donated to the City of Eagle; the applicant shall provide a letter of
credit for the reclamation work that is being represented in their plans to ensure work will
be completed; the applicant shall provide a 3-D architectural review of what the project

applicant shall ensure that the new pedestrian will not be adjacent to the neighbors fence in

landscaping along Highway 55 which will be part of the development will be cleaned up
and meet Design Review Standards of the City of Eagle; the applicant shall,in part of the
development,if approved by the City, include a berm that separates the backyards of any
new proposed homes from the Guerber Park and the view of the neighbors on the opposing
side of the park, understanding that the neighbor's houses are quite a bit of higher and it
wouldn't be expected that the berm be obnoxiously high.Defayette, Mark do you want to put
a value on your letter of credit. Mark: I can't do that, that will have to be done...City Attorney
Buxton: Under Idaho Code, any public works project on City property requires by State law a
performance bond and a payment bond. So those things are already required by law, I know that
you—unintelligible —but basically it lieu of a letter of credit you would have to provide those
bonds. Seconded by Defayette. Discussion. Butler modify the conditions that says the
extension of the irrigation facility to the park,along with the development plans shall be
provided, if possible. Doug Clegg: comments on irrigation. Butler: modify the amendment
to say something like,if there is extra water rights as previously referenced the applicant
shall work with the City to extend the pipe over to the City property so we can actually use
the water rights that are being donated to us. Second concurs. ALL AYE...MOTION
CARRIES.
7. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
Public Hearings are legally noticed hearings required by state law. The public may provide
formal testimony regarding the application or issue before the City Council. This testimony will
become part of the hearing record for that application or matter.
A. PP-08-13 -Lockey Subdivision - Somerset Farms,Inc.: Somerset Farms, Inc., represented
by Chris Todd with T-O Engineers, Inc., is requesting preliminary plat approval for Lockey
Subdivision, a 40-lot(33-buildable and 7-common) subdivision. The 20.37-acre site is located
on the south side of West Beacon Light Road approximately 630-feet east of North Park Lane at
3633 West Beacon Light Road. (WEV) This item was continued from the October 8, 2013
meeting. The public hearing remains open.
Mayor: Does anyone on Council have any exparte contact to declare? None
Mayor: Does anyone on Council have any potential or actual conflict of interest?None
Mayor Reynolds introduces the item.
Chris Todd 3047 E. Shadow Drive Eagle, Idaho with T-O Engineering representing Lockey
Subdivision. Mr. Todd reviews the application.
Zoning Administrator Bill Vaughan states the development agreement was included in the packet
for review. He makes himself available for questions.
Discussion regarding density.
Mayor opens the public hearing.
Patricia Minkiewicz Deerfield Court Eagle, Idaho. Ms. Minkiewicz would like to know if
Council member Pierce can see us via Skype? She lives in a large subdivision across from the
proposed Lockey Subdivision. She could not located the 2007 development agreement that had
been previously referred to when she requested a copy of it, she was provided one that was
executed in May 2013. Ms. Minkiewicz states that the annexation and rezone ordinance was just
passed in September of this year. The dates don't seem to line up. This is of concern, but she
Page 5
K\COUNCIL\MINUTES\Temporary Minutes Work Area\CC-10-22-13min.doc
does not want an explanation. What is done is done. She would like the plat amended to
combine frontage lots to make 1 acre lots and this would provide better lot transition and it
would set a better precedence for future development around Eagle Road. It would also preserve
the rural feel of Eagle. Sommerset should address the concerns of the residents that abut Beacon
Light Road.
Defayette asks if Ms. Minkiewicz's subdivision would ever consider annexing into Eagle City
limits.
Ms. Minkiewicz: No, absolutely no desire. It would be too expensive.
David Christensen 424 Monarch Eagle, Idaho. He inquires as to the calculation of density.
Butler explains that density is figured on buildable lots only, not common area lots.
Discussion regarding density calculations.
Zoning Administrator Vaughan explains that City Council had approved the development
agreement in 2007, but it wasn't executed until this year. There wasn't anything in City Code
that designated a time frame for which the development agreement must be executed within, thus
it was allowable that the agreement that was approved in 2007 was executed in 2013. After the
agreement was signed, the annexation and rezone ordinance was brought before Council for
action in September of this year. Thus nothing illegal or inappropriate occurred regarding the
processing of the development agreement and the annexation of the property in question. The
City has since brought forth and approved an ordinance that designates an execution time frame
for these agreements so that there won't be such vast passage of time between approval and
execution in the future. ..
Discussion regarding lot size and placement.
Mr. Todd and Paul Johnson represents Sommerset Farms rebut testimony. Mr. Johnson reviews
the calculation of the density of the property. He comments on the property and the development
agreement.
Council member Butler is concerned that a lot adjustment has been done and the property
pertaining to the original development agreement has thus been altered. City Attorney Buxton
states there may be a mistake of fact. Discussion.
Mayor closes the public hearing.
Butler moves to approve PP-08-13-Lockey Subdivision- Somerset Farms,Inc.with the
plat that is submitted tonight with the 3 lots that are adjacent to Beacon Light at the end of
the cul-de-sac changed to be 2 lots,lots 23,24,25 as shown on the plat submitted tonight
and allow the developer to not be required to install amenities into the open space area and
to have the open space area be open space. Seconded by Defayette. Discussion. Butler
clarifies that the required trees and buffers still need to be required, as well as any fencing as
required by the Design Review that needs to be put in. He wants to add for discussion, too, that
he agrees that this is ridiculously dense for the area, but this does have rights by the
development agreement, the Council has done everything that they can to make it as tight as
possible. ALL AYE...MOTION CARRIES.
B. CU-06-13—Restaurant with Drive-Thru— Eagle River Hospitality,LLC: Eagle River
Hospitality, LLC, represented by Phil Hull with The Land Group, Inc., is requesting a

subsequent joint meeting with the Ada County Commissioners. This is a follow up to the motion
that was made at that meeting to look into purchasing some of the property from Ada County.
Discussion amongst the Mayor and Council.

K.\COUNCIL\MINUTES\Temporary Minutes Work Area\CC-10-22-13min.doc
Mark Pyper 855 E. Shadow Creek Lane Eagle, Idaho. The opportunities to recreate are great for
Eagle. He would seriously like to investigate a board park as it would differentiate Eagle from
other areas and what they offer. He would support the use of tax dollars for this; he has not
analyzed the numbers but would like it to be seriously looked at. It is a resource the City should
try and retain.
Morgan Smith 1763 N. Seven Oaks Way Eagle, Idaho. He supports this program 100%. He
agrees with what was previously said. If it means working a deal with the Ada County
Commissioners we should do. Mr. Smith offers to volunteer his time to assist in pursuing this, if
it means fundraising, going door-to-door whatever it takes.
Bev Ross 9989 Jayne Eagle, Idaho. She has lived there before the park was there. Ms. Ross is
an Ada County resident, not an Eagle tax payer. She is concerned that policy and procedures
have not been followed while pursing the terrain park venture. She feels the issue should be
taken to Eagle voters similar to the Boise foothills bonds. Perhaps the terrain park could look
into Eagle Island Park. There will be a negative impact to traffic and noise. Ms. Ross is
concerned with recent trail work that may cause an increase in erosion during rain storms. There
should be more thought, planning and notice to neighbors instead of this being shoved down
peoples throats.
Discussion regarding the old bar property and the hazards associated with the same.
Joan Johnston 10770 Jayne Road Eagle, Idaho. The Ada County Commissioners would like fair
market value for the land. Eagle City Council would like the land donated. She is concerned
with the commercial business being allowed on public land. Ms. Johnson does not feel that
proper notice has been given, a competitive bid process should take place, a lot has been
happening behind closed doors and the process should start over.
Garret Kerr 252 W. Meadow Ridge Lane Eagle, Idaho. Mr. Cur is 28 years of age and just
closed on a home this morning at 2094 N. Trail Creek Lane. He is now a very close neighbor to
the terrain park. He is very excited about the project; it will be an asset of the community. As
with Mr. Pyper, he hasn't crunched the numbers, it has to financially make sense for the citizens
of Eagle but he would be in favor.
Foad Roghani, 175 S. Rosebud Eagle Idaho (business address). He is not in favor or against as
he doesn't have enough information. Having said that he is against the project. To approve a
project for a for profit organization, you were elected to be fiscally responsible with the revenue
for Eagle tax payers. What does the City get out of this? Very few people in favor live in Eagle.
Mr. Roghani states that he is one of the biggest tax payers in the City of Eagle, though he does
not live in Eagle, he is a large tax contributor. He would like to know the liability to the tax
payers. There has been improper notice and lack of transparency regarding this meeting. People
were talking about this a year ago, but it wasn't brought forward to the public until May of this
year. Eagle Island State Park would be a better site. The elected officials are fiscally responsible
for all decisions they make.
Teresa Yragui 1362 N. Echo Creek Place Eagle, Idaho. Was surprised to hear the City was
considering purchasing the land when we already lease it. There seems to very mixed feelings
about support for the purchase of the property. To charge for the use of the property when it is
now free and open to the public for use. Ms. Yragui, as an Eagle taxpayer and is opposed to the
purchase of the property. It is not reasonable to presume the tax payers are in favor of the
purchase.
Council Member Butler discusses his idea for the purchase of the entire 285 acres. Discussion.

Chris Todd 3047 E. Shadow Wolfe Drive Eagle, Idaho. He lives kitty corner to the Sports
Complex and enjoys the park quite often. These types of uses should seriously be considered. It
is up to the Council to know the details and finances, but this would only be an asset to the fabric
of our community. The park certainly doesn't get used in the winter so the terrain park would be
great use. Why not enlarge it and make it even grander. I think the City has done a great job.
People get caught up in the terms transparency and budget, but let's look at the things the city has
done. It is common for people to be NIMBY's—not in our back yard. This would be a gem for
the Treasure Valley.
Jeff Kunz, 2213 E. Skokie Drive Eagle, Idaho. He was at the Joint County Commissioner
meeting, and there was a very clear different interpretation of the land lease agreement between
the City and the County. He was part of the Committee that started to do the due diligence, but it
has by no means been completely done and vetted. Mr. Kunz states that Bruce Wong with Ada
County Highway District stated that the City had not specifically contacted them for analysis of
this use. A staff member with ACHD was contacted and a personal opinion was given by a staff
member but no formal review was done. The project was not handled appropriately, other stake
holders should have been contacted sooner as this project was initially coming forward. It should
have been handled similar to how the Committee to Purchase City Hall was handled.
Brad Nelson 2219 E. Shalimar Drive Eagle, Idaho. Perhaps portions of this process could have
been handled better, but the investment that Mr. Neptune is bringing forward will be worth it.
Having not been involved in City proceedings it seems this has been properly vetted and noticed
for the open houses and public comment. Was this type of notice and process done for Guerber
Park? or other Eagle Parks or is this a special case. There is a cost for the maintenance of the
infrastructure. Is the real issue a pay to play for 7 acres? The revenue could be used to help
offset the maintenance of the infrastructure. Having worked with the 2 headed monster of the
County and City when the Velodrome project was going on is quite cumbersome. If the City has
the opportunity to purchase and the price is right he would be in favor of moving forward.
Otherwise, every time there is a turn over of County Commissioners you run the risk of ending
up at ground zero again.
Ed Newgen 3106 E. Shadow View St. Eagle, Idaho. There is a charge to race at the BMX
events. The remainder of the time the track is open for free public use.
Patrica Minkiewicz Deerfield Court Eagle, Idaho. She is learning a lot this evening. A lot of
people have asked her about the City purchasing the park. She attended the joint meeting and
she was confused with what happened at the end. Ms. Minkiewicz is seeing clarification on what
land the Commission and Council were discussing purchasing. Can the City purchase land
without a vote of the people?
Butler states there is development impact fee money that was approved via a public hearing. We
are seeking public comment on that matter now.
Mark Miller 646 E. Palmetto Drive Eagle, Idaho. A small business owner that would benefit
from the Terrain Park. He saw Commissioner Case yesterday and the Commissioners are very
concerned with liability and they feel they should have been brought into the loop sooner. The
Commissioners are not interested in donating any property. Mr. Miller had three individuals
enter his store this summer from British Columbia that were looking for the Bike Park, so it is an
asset. The challenge with the Commissioners is great
Robert Bauns 2930 E. Gold Creek Street Eagle, Idaho. He reminds the Council that this is a
residential area. There was an event this weekend at the Sports Complex and he had to listen to
the loud speakers all weekend. He has been here 18 years and has retired and now has to contend
Page 9
K.\COUNCIL\MINUTES\Temporary Minutes Work Area\CC-IO-22-13 min_doc
with this. The roads are not built for heavy buses. The damage that the busses cause to the roads
will be paid for by tax payers.
Anthony Rupley 3468 E. Presidential Drive Meridian, Idaho. Recently moved from Phoenix and
one of the main reasons he moved to Idaho was the bike park. He called Ed Newgen (BMX)
prior to moving up, and while he and his wife did end up in Meridian he spends 3-4 nights a
week in Eagle visiting Eagle restaurants and stores. The Terrain Park will draw even more
people.
Discussion.
Butler moves to write a letter to Ada County, a nice letter, asking them to donate the 248
acres and explain that it is public ground and we think it would be in the best interest of
the public to not have the 2 agencies involved. We don't want to see arguments and
attorneys and all of this kind of thing just costing the public money. And think it would be
in the best interest of the community for the City to own it and think that they(the County)
should donate it. Seconded by Defayette. Discussion. Butler Call For The Question.

/:ky PANCREATIC CANCER ACTION NETWORK
Dear Mayor Jim Reynolds,
As your constituent, and an Eagle resident since 2000 I am writing on behalf of the Pancreatic
Cancer Action Network and the estimated 38,460 Americans who will die of pancreatic cancer in
2013, approximately 200 of whom live in Idaho. In 2013, pancreatic cancer will afflict more than
45,220 Americans, 73% of whom will die within one year of their diagnosis, and 94% of whom
will die within five years of diagnosis.
am however...one of the lucky ones, as I am a survivor of eight years. I appreciate every day
that I have been blessed with and am committed to giving back & helping others in Idaho to fight
this dreadful disease. Hence the reason myself & a few other dedicated volunteers started the
first affiliate for Pancreatic Cancer in Boise. Our all -volunteer group is trying to raise awareness
throughout Idaho & raise funds for research into detection & hopefully someday a cure.
To date, pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States, and
is the only major cancer with a five-year relative survival rate in the single digits at just six
percent. Furthermore, the incidence and death rate for pancreatic cancer are increasing, and
pancreatic cancer is anticipated to move from the fourth to the second leading cause of cancer
death in the U.S. by 2020. We need your help to shine a spotlight on this disease and finally
make progress in developing treatments and early detection tools. By issuing a proclamation
supporting the observance of November 2013 as Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month in
Eagle, you can help us to raise awareness in our community.
I have attached a draft of the proclamation text for your review. I am happy to provide additional
official Pancreatic Cancer Action Network material, including pancreatic cancer facts and
statistics and NCI funding information, upon request.
We request that one original of the proclamation be made available for our records. I would also
like to request a photograph, if possible, of myself receiving the proclamation from you at our
next town council meeting. Please contact me at 208-573-0689 with any questions.
I look forward to working with you to issue a proclamation that will recognize November as
Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month and bring much needed attention to this deadly disease.
Thank you for your interest in this important issue.
Sincerely,
n Bradley
Pancreatic Cancer Survivor & Affiliate Coordinator
