Minutes - 2014 - City Council - 03/18/2014 - Special EAGLE CITY COUNCIL Special Meeting Minutes March 18, 2014 1. CALL TO ORDER: Mayor Reynolds calls the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. 2. ROLL CALL: Present: MCFARLAND, BUTLER, KUNZ, RIDGEWAY. All present. A quorum is present. McFarland McFarland would like to create a consent agenda Anthony Moretti Day Proclamation declaring March 20th as Anthony Moretti Day. Seconded by Kunz. Discussion. AYE...MOTION CARRIES. Mark Boothy a teacher at Vision Charter School had submitted a request to the City for a Proclamation declare March 20th as Anthony Moretti Day. Anthony is a 6th grader that has been battling cancer for over a year, and has more challenges ahead of him. He will be participating in the Make-A-Wish Idaho and traveling to Disney World soon. Mr Boothy is trying to get local Cities to participate in the recognition of this courageous young man. CONSENT AGENDA: A. Anthony Moretti Day Proclamation: Declaring March 20th as Anthony Moretti Day in the City of Eagle to honor—. Butler moves to approve the consent agenda. Seconded by McFarland. ALL AYE...MOTION CARRIES. 3. UNFINISHED BUSINESS: A. Discussion and recommendation on the State Street & Eagle Road Intersection. Mayor Reynolds introduces the item. Councilmember Kunz reviews his analysis of the Eagle Road/State Street Study. He has conducted some modeling and analysis and reviews results of the same. The basis of the reevaluation is that that how the criteria are prioritized can affect which intersection alternative is most preferred. If all criteria except safety are prioritized equally and the priority of safety is prioritized between equally preferred and extremely preferred,the one-way couplet is the most preferred alternative. When criteria and performance ratings are prioritized consistent with the high-level criteria descriptions provided by Project Management Team and the Stakeholder Committee,the quadrant and one-way couplet emerge as the most preferred alternatives, not the roundabout. Discussion. (A copy of his PowerPoint Presentation is attached to the minutes.) Mayor Reynolds asks if there are any questions for Councilmember Kunz Scott Butler lives in Lexington Hills. He inquires what prompted the discussion of the intersection modification. Doug Demorna 332 Pebble Beach Court Eagle, Idaho. Mr. Demorna questions Councilmember Kunz on how roundabouts would increase safety as it seems to continually have a traffic flow. Council member Kunz states that the data he received indicates that roundabouts safety tends to be 46-50%better under a given set of circumstances. He invites ACHD Traffic Engineer Andrew Cibor to comment. Page I K:\COUNCIL\MINUTES\Temporary Minutes Work Area\CC-03-18-I4spmin.doc Andrew Cibor, ACHD traffic engineer and project manager for this intersection project. Mr. Cibor comments on roundabout safety and the national statistics that indicate there are generally half as many crashes as a typical signalized intersection, and an even greater reduction in injury and fatality crashes. The Federal Highway Administration has identified roundabouts as one of the top 9 counter safety measures. Mayor Reynolds invites the Mayor of Middleton to speak on what is being done in his community with roundabouts. Mayor Darin Taylor displays a map showing a map of Middleton with existing and proposed roundabouts in his town. Several are planned for Middleton to encourage continuous movement of traffic in their community. They feel it is a good combination to encourage traffic flow and remain pedestrian friendly. Four more roundabouts are proposed near the high school. The majority of the public have been in favor of them. Joel Anderson 34 E. State Street Eagle, Idaho. The information the Mayor of Middleton is conveying is about rural areas rather than in the heart of downtown so it is apples to oranges. Also the all encompassing statement that all is in favor seems unrealistic. He would like an explanation of the quadrant option that Council Member Kunz. City Planner Baird Spencer reviews the quadrant option. Traffic Engineer Cibor attempts to address Council Member Butler's inquiry regarding how many property owners would be affected by the quadrant option versus the roundabout. Discussion. Councilmember Kunz rebuts testimony given by Middleton's Mayor and discusses the difference in the performance Discussion amongst the Council. Butler discusses his preference for the roundabout and explains the problems and/or challenges he finds with those options he is not in support of. If one of the options was selected it would cause Park Lane to be modified and would negatively impact those who live on this quaint residential street. Butler did some investigation on the petition that was and the signatures of the same. He attempted to contact some who signed the petition to gather more input from them and relays the results of the same. (The results of his review of the petition are attached to the minutes.) Butler has also spoken to people at the coffee shop and at various businesses to get their opinions. People have both expressed in favor and opposed opinions, but he hopes he has explained how he arrived at his support of the roundabout. McFarland was on the committee when this process first began and most have already heard her view on the intersection. She comments that the couplet option is $5.8 to $7.6 million dollars, the roundabout is $3.6 to $4.6 million dollars,that is half. She does not feel that ACHD will fund the more expensive option. Councilmember McFarland is in favor of the roundabout it is more pedestrian friendly and believes it will give us a signature look and address a long standing eyesore. Ridgeway states he is somewhat disgusted that this first came to the Council back in August and it was voted on. And now it is March the l lthe and the Council has 2 weeks to change their minds and decide. A lot of people testified against the roundabout, and a limited number testified for it. It is interesting that three members of the Council were on the Committee to make the recommendations. Ridgeway doesn't know why the issue is being revisited. A decision was made, maybe it was a misunderstanding that by not choosing something for that intersection that it ended up being"do nothing"and that is what happened. He has a question for ACHD. There was a lot of discussion last week that if there is no round about that pretty soon traffic will back up to 44. Ridgeway visited local roundabouts over the weekend and in Europe and in the right place they are very good. His concern is that we are doing this to get rid of a gas Page 2 K:\COUNCIL\MINUTES\Temporary Minutes Work Area\CC-03-18-14spmin.doc station rather than doing what is right for Eagle. He disagrees with Ms. McFarland regarding the history of the gas station and the owners interaction with the City. He questions traffic flow with a roundabout and the signalization at Plaza and Highway 44. Andrew Cibor,ACHD Traffic Engineer, refers to the Evaluation Criteria Table for the intersection, the roundabout option was the only alternative that was rated good for traffic operations. All of the others were either fair or poor, based on a detailed traffic analysis that their consultant Kelleton and Associates performed. All factors were taken into consideration and based on their detailed and thorough analysis they believe this is the best alternative for traffic flow. Ridgeway, comments that after saying all of this and watching Council members change their minds, he believes that in his opinion roundabout is the safest but doesn't know how he will vote. Discussion. Butler moves to recommend to the Ada County Highway District that a roundabout be planned for at the intersection of Eagle Road and State Street and that in the planning that ACH D look into ways to mitigate parking loss,if it occurs at the Anderson/Bodacious Pig property,and the gas station/Jackson's Property. And that ACHD additionally,with regard to potential loss of parking spaces,work with the City of Eagle and Urban Renewal Agency to see if there is some joint,collaborative efforts that can be made to provide some sort of a public parking area on the remnant parcels such that the lost parking spaces can be compensated back to these property owners as exclusive spaces for their use. Seconded by McFarland. RIDGEWAY NAY; BUTLER AYE; MCFARLAND AYE; KUNZ; NAY MAYOR: AYE. THREE AYE; TWO NAY: MOTION CARRIES. Ridgeway clarifies his vote and states that it is just too quick to do this and I don't think it is fair to do it in two weeks. Mayor Reynolds this intersection has been studied for quite some time. It may be new to some members of Council but not to others. He has reviewed the traffic studies and the traffic committee recommendations—in which the recommend the roundabout. Safety and traffic flow is ranked quite high with a roundabout. It is his opinion that the roundabout will increase the property value from what it is today. The long term view of this City is what needs to be looked at, and based on these factors is why he voted the way he did. 4. ADJOURNMENT: McFarland moves to adjourn. Seconded by Butler .

My name is Mark Boothby and I am a teacher at Vision Charter School. I teach English and Student Leadership. As you may know, we have a 6th grade student, named Anthony Moretti, who was diagnosed with brain tumors last year and he has been fighting for months now, through many treatments. He was recently diagnosed with some further tumors near his spine and has been undergoing many more treatments. Anthony has just completed five straight, very hard chemotherapy treatments. Make -A -Wish of Idaho is working on sending the family to Disney World in the near future. I am telling you all of this because I wanted to know what it takes to get a mayoral proclamation, possibly proclaiming a specific Anthony Moretti Day? As a school, we are making Thursday, March 20th, "Blue Thursday." We have a dress policy at VCS, so on Thursday, we are encouraging all students and staff to donate $1 and wear all blue, in a show of our ongoing support for Anthony. As my Student Leadership class came up with this idea, I thought it would be a neat addition if we could possibly get a proclamation for Anthony. I know this is short notice, but if you could let me know if this is a possibility, that would be great. KTVB's Maggie O -Mara did a profile on Anthony, this fall, and I would anticipate that if we had a proclamation, I would be contacting the media to help cover it and get the word out. I like to dream big, so I am also contacting the Nampa, Meridian, Middleton, Boise, and Star mayor's offices to see if they will do the same, to possibly make it an Anthony Moretti Day across the Treasure Valley. Caldwell's Mayor, Garrett Nancolas, has already agreed to make Thursday, March 20th, Anthony Moretti Day. 1 You can easily contact me via my e-mail, because I will be teaching most of the day. My e-mail is markboothbvevisioncsd.orq I have a lunch break from 11:20-12:00 and a prep period from about 1:40-2:35, and could call you back. Thanks so much for your time.

(How did the Project Management Team (PMT) and Stakeholder Committee (SC) prioritize these criteria?( Should all six criteria be pnonuzed equally? • Since safety is a "top" priority, should it be prioritized higher? And, if so, how much higher? • How should the criterion of physical impacts be prioritized to minimize impacts to property? • Since moving traffic should be a priority (but not at the cost of major property impacts or pedestrian safety), how should traffic operations be prioritized? How should land use compatibility be prioritized to enhance the downtown character and sense of place and for consistency with our "land use visions and community values"? How should implementation be prioritized to capture "construction and right-of-way acquisition costs," "constructability and phasing of construction" and "public acceptance"? 3/19/2014 2 Which alternative is most preferred if all criteria are prioritized equally and safety's priority is increased?

Why do the roundabout and one-way couplet both increase in preference when the priority of safety increases? Because both alternatives share a "good" performance rating on safety, whereas the other alternatives share a "fair" performance rating on safety.
