Refusing to hear us says that your mind is made up. General discussion. Butler: We have Public Comment on the Agenda and I want it removed because it is not transparent. The reason why is people can come in say things like I have heard in the past like the people who run the golf course and the golf course people don't know about it. I would prefer to remove Public Comment and have a section called Public Comment but there is a time frame before the agenda is put together that the people provide what they want to talk about to the Mayor and the topics can be seen on the agenda therefore providing transparency. General discussion. 6. CONSENT AGENDA: ♦ Consent Agenda items are considered to be routine and are acted on with one motion.

Plays some videos on roundabouts. Discusses the no build scenario and the roundabout. General discussion. Sabrina Anderson,Planning Manager ACHD,the other circulation projects are part of the overall plan. The projects are in the plan but they are not necessarily funded. The two projects that are funded in the Integrated Five Year Work Plan are Plaza Drive Extension and Aikens Extension going east. The roundabout is separate project. It is considered a congestion project while the others are circulation projects. General discussion. Joel Grounds, member of the Transportation Committee, I am a civil engineer that has designed and over seen the construction of two roundabouts out in Middleton. We did quite a bit of analysis on speed. There is quite a bit of safety reduction in them. These have been functioning well and they are continuing to look at additional roundabouts. Jeff Laughlin,the Committee has voted for the roundabout and the Committee agrees that a no build is not an option, we need to do something. General discussion. Kunz: I have taken the Eagle Road/State Street Intersection Concept Study and I have taken the criteria and the options and the rankings that we just went through that the Stakeholder Committee and ACHD as put together and using their data and the only thing that is subject to Page 4 K:\COUNCIL\MINUTES\Temporary Minutes Work Area\CC-03-11-14min.doc slight change is how you prioritize the criteria because that is open to discussion but if you put all of those things together the model and analysis that ACHD and the Stakeholder Committee has put together leads me to conclude that depending on how you prioritize your criteria which is an important part of decision making you could potentially arrive at a very different decision other roundabout. Summarize some of the important concepts from the ACHD and Stakeholder Committee Model. Mayor opens the Public Comment Jane Kramer, I was also a member of the Stakeholders Committee,there are pros and cons to each of the alternative. I want to bring to your attention what some friends and I put out last Wednesday afternoon. I don't know if you want to call it a petition or survey. No one has addressed that 85 out of 100 cars that go through the intersection are going someplace other than Eagle. We support safety and preserving downtown and business along that intersection corridor and we don't see how that can happen with an expanded intersection or a roundabout. We are endorsing finding alternate routes for the non-vehicle traffic intended for areas other than Eagle. We put out at Jacksons and the Chevron Station and we have 703 signatures from people supporting what we are suggesting and we hope to have more before the ACHD meeting at the end of the month. Jane provides the petition to the City. General discussion. Harry Moore,this presentation this evening is very informative. I thought that one of the approaches was to improve some of the surface streets around Eagle and put that into the budget and see how those improvements would improve the traffic through town. I'm trying to envision the concept of the roundabout and it is overwhelming. I understand how it improves traffic and slow things down. Steve McIntyre, I have lived overseas for several years and rode on roundabouts. You need to consider the environmental impact when considering a roundabout. We have seen nothing but positive impact on communities with roundabouts. Mayor: I do need to add one thing,Mr.Mark Miller who owns a business here in town ask that we include his name as being heavily in favor of the roundabout. Mayor closes the Public Comment Butler moves that the City of Eagle recommend to ACHD based upon the recommendation of our Transportation Committee that a roundabout be installed at State and Eagle Road. Seconded by McFarland. Discussion. The quadrant map is displayed and Sabrina Anderson discusses how traffic moves through the quadrant. Butler calls for the question. McFarland: AYE; Butler: AYE; Kunz: NAY; Ridgeway: NAY: Mayor: NAY: MOTION FAILS Kunz moves to use the next two weeks to evaluate the quadrant and other options and report back for a final recommendation to ACHD at the March 25th meeting. Seconded by Ridgeway. Discussion. Bruce Wong,ACHD Director, I assume that you appreciate timely information. I will not speak for the Commission but I think the Commission would appreciate timely information and I have seen them not appreciate last minute discussion especially on issues that have been well vetted and discussed. Further Discussion. Kunz withdraws the Motion. Second concurs. Kunz moves that the City Council call a Special Meeting for March 18th at 5:00 p.m.for the express purpose of discussing the City Councils' recommendation for the Eagle Road/State Street Intersection.

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. VAC-02-14—Partial Vacation of Easement—Tresidio Corporation: Tresidio Corporation, represented by Russ Van Wagenen/Jon Hastings, is requesting a partial vacation of a public utilities, drainage, and pressurized irrigation easement from Lot 7, Block 2, within Bellaterra Subdivision. The site is located on the east side of North Livorno Way at 1878 North Livorno Way. (WEV) Mayor introduces the issue. Mayor: Does anyone on Council have any exparte contact to declare? McFarland: I believe this was brought up at the Eagle Sewer District meeting last night so I did hear testimony but I'm assuming it is the same testimony that we will hear tonight. Mayor: Does anyone on Council have any potential or actual conflict of interest?None Russ Van Wagenen,I am one of the principals of the Tresidio Corporation, I think as far as the recommendation from Staff the two conditions the only question that we would raise is the condition regarding the relinquishment letters from the utility companies be stricken since we don't have any utilities located in the subject easements and we will be maintaining an easement for public utilities,draining and irrigation through a separate instrument created through the lot boundary adjustment and record of survey. General discussion. PZ Administrator Vaughan: Planning and Zoning recommended approval of this vacation with the conditions as recommended. I have never dealt with a vacation application where we weren't' requiring the utility owners to provide their approval of the relinquishment, understanding that they are still going to get an easement. Would you inquire from the applicant in regards to why they do not want to provide the relinquishment letters? Discussion on State Statute requiring the relinquishment letters. General discussion. PZ Administrator Vaughan I believe Idaho Code requires that we the agreement in writing. Mayor opens the Public Hearing Mayor: we have no one signed up to speak on this issue. Has any come to speak on the issue that is not signed up. Seeing one I will close the public hearing. Mayor Closes the Public Hearing Butler moves to approve VAC-02-14—Partial Vacation of Easement with the conditions of approval as recommendations from the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Mr. Guerber mentioned that at one point there was a stop a head beacon that was proposed or a light that notified people that were headed west bound on 44 that they were approaching a signal for Edgewood/44. Bob VanArnem wanted to know why ITD did not collect impact fees. Dave Szplett, addresses issues that were brought up at a previous Council meeting. Discusses impact fees;the light at Edgewood and the advanced warning light;the overpass, and discussion on a right in right off at Plaza from State Street/44. General discussion. B.

(WEV) Mayor introduces the issue. City Attorney Buxton: Ordinance No. 700A was considered and passed and was sent in for publication but the publication on this ordinance did not occur. If you do not print an ordinance that was passed within 30 days it does not go into effect.

P/R-Facilities Director Aho provides Council information about the pad and displays pictures of the same. The pad would cost$70,000 -$90,000 to replace.

McFarland: AYE; Butler: AYE; Kunz: AYE; Ridgeway: AYE: ALL AYES: MOTION CARRIES I. Discussion of possible Avimor annexation: (SR) Mayor introduces the issue. City Attorney Buxton provides Council an overview of the annexation statutes. Annexation is a Legislative Action. You can talk about it in general terms but what you cannot talk about are the types of land use. You do not want to predetermine on how you would act or what you would do or if an application ever came to you how you would address that. Discussion on forced annexation. General discussion. Dan Richter, I am the Managing Partner for the Avimor Ownership Group. As to cost to Eagle our infrastructure is already in. As far as services Eagle would provide; we have our own sewer system and water is provided by United Water. We built a substation for electric and that is all in. The natural gas lines are already in. We have services from the Ada County Sheriff and we are annexed into Eagle Fire District so I don't know what the costs would be. We are pretty much self-supporting. We are 4 miles from Beacon Light and its 8 minutes to the WinCo Store. General discussion. Our trails are open to the public now and we would like to keep the maintenance of our parks and keep them open to the public. General discussion. J. Discussion of Motor Sports Complex: (SR) Mayor introduces the issue. Dan Richter discusses the area in Avimor where a Motor Sports Complex could be build and the type of tracks, events, and business that would locate in the area. Also discusses the potential of having a Country Club that would sell membership to the track. It would cost about $20M to put the infrastructure in. General discussion. Ridgeway: I don't have an issue with the industrial development because I do think we need that. I keep hearing about the race facility and what I'm concerned about is the circle track and the drag strip. My experience with these types of facilities is that competition is just not good. In my opinion, if a drag strip or circle track was built here it would cause either track that not to be successful or it would put two well established tracks in this area out of business. Richter: there is a little bit of misconception about what the track is about. The track would be more of a recreational track not so much for events that are sponsored by those other two. Discussion on a track operated like a golf course/club house(motor sport country club)and the track could be rented. The industrial users that manufacture auto parts would rent time on the track to test their products. So it is not the type of track where you will see those big events like you will see the tracks in Meridian and outside Eagle. Page 9 K.\COUNCIL\MINUTES\2014\CC-03-1 I-14min_doc Ridgeway: I bring this up because I have heard all of these rumors that Firebird is going to be closed and sold off to development and it is not a safe track. I have talked to those people and in the last 6 years that track has been the top track in the Northwest 3 of those years. I'm not sure the families are going to close that track and to work for you. I appreciate you saying that. K. Discussion of Branding of Eagle: (SR) Mayor introduces the issue. Ridgeway,I'm having a hard time with this one. If we are going to brand Eagle I think we should talk about this. We need to discuss this as a Council. We are a City of parks and pathways. I would like for us to work on this as a Council. I think it would be great if we have a brand for the City. I will be glad to work on this. General discussion. 10.

The Homeless Child Crisis March 13, 2014 12:00 p.m. (MT) Boise, Idaho In front of Boise City Hall Dear Eagle Residents, We have over 300 children homeless just in the Boise area living in our local shelters. along the rivers, under the I-84 Connector next to Rhodes Skate Park. This has to cone to an end, no matter what I will personally make sure there are no children living on our streets and next to the river under the age of 18 in our city. From deep in my heart everyone must know that Tom Holloway of Albertson's Eagle and John Williamson of Williamson Ranch helped me unconditionally. For the past 6 months returning back to Idaho, there was no way I could have carried on every day building solutions right now. Soon press releases about how these two men made sure 1 was safe during my homeless journey in Florida, California and Arizona. It is great to be home because Eagle. Idaho is my love and joy. Thank you to Jim Reynolds for allowing me to present to city council many times. Keeping my city informed about bringing all of my new companies, PASS4kids University, SunnRooibos & ReddRox back home to Eagle. All pictures of living on the streets for over 3 years will become available to be viewed first by all Eagle residents. This picture I personally took next to Rhodes Skate Park this summer. Every day I cry because this is happening in every city I am in. Starting today I will hug everyone and visiting businesses bringing my new brand LysaSays Earthfood Cookies & MyHartBars. These foods are all made with SunnRooibos & lots of nutrient dense ingredients that my NFL world adore and life saving for all homeless children.

Tampa, Fla., is where my deep southern roots were established and is one of the main reasons for my many successes as an adult. Idaho became my home at the age of 14 and 1 am thankful every day because it took a full year to convince my mother that we should move to the gem state. Getting on an airplane in 1979, from Rhode Island to Idaho, was true pioneering in those years, considering we carried 14 boxes and 2 bicycles. When we moved to Idaho, we did not have a car for over 2 years. Were we poor? Indeed, but my mother made sure that I had clean clothes, food, and a safe place to live. Mostly, she loved me unconditionally and did not drink or smoke, and thank goodness she never used drugs. The Idaho school system was my foundation. Being a Golden Girl at Capital High School was a privilege. Graduating in 1981, from Boise High School was my proudest moment, moving to a new high school in your senior year is dramatic; my school mates, teachers and my guidance counselor Mrs. Bender changed my life forever. In 1983, becoming a Boise State University student was a dream come true, professors intrigued me, especially the ones that actually experienced what they taught. My love has always been science and math, the passion for chemistry was unchartered waters. There was a job available in the chemistry department and how excited I was to learn about natural ingredients. To actually hold and touch these amazing raw earth miracles blew my mind every day. My mother was poisoned from second-hand cigarette smoke and fired from Boise Cascade in 1986, which is the reason why 1 am so passionate about whatever I set my mind do and will not fail. Today, my mother still suffers, and my son was born breech because of serious neglect from my OBGYN and Saint Luke's Regional Hospital. 1just felt like a number and we almost died. In 1993, 1 was losing my family and no money in the world could help. This is when I realized that we must set goals, and conquering the impossible is possible. Eight years later, 1 found the mystery plant rooibos, a miracle for the world. Thus was born SunnRooibos and Reddrox. Becoming the centerfold feature article in the "US News & World Report" and having the opportunity to tell this story was a huge responsibility and great honor to represent Idaho. In November 2009 being called by Entrepreneur Magazine informing me that my quote will be seen by millions globally. How greateful 1 was; these articles gave me the credentials to help millions of people, which is what God leads me to do every day. But by the end of 2009, the amazing companies I had developed with the endless help of my children and many Idahoans had been destroyed by the greed of just a few. Unfortunately, one rotten apple can destroy the entire bunch; this was the fate of my companies, greed took over. How shocking! February 2007, the front page of the Idaho Statesman featured Idaho business owners who purposely harmed our credibility. No longer could 1 watch a local company that went global, developing an amazing rooibos miracle just be destroyed. Our creation would never reach the children and our loving shareholders would be left with nothing. My company, ReddRox, was started with pennies and my children helping me day and night. Resigning from ReddRox in November 2009, wealthy for safety. The problem has become so bad that it is now essentially illegal to be homeless in Beverly Hills. There are reasons why some homeless children & adults have to wave signs for money, there is not enough help. Never did 1 think just 2 months ago an entire homeless family sitting on a bench in between the Grove Hotel and the Centre on the Grove would be fully ignored. People just walked by not wanting to look at this horror story. Have we become so cold? Has life become so hard for us day-to- day that we have lost our compassionate heart? Do we really feel like there is nothing we can do to help our own local children? These are not children living in a foreign country. On that day 1 cried very hard not expecting to see our Idaho homeless being treated the same as in Los Angeles, and New York City. Over the past years 1 have been living a very dangerous life on the streets. Many homeless children from the wealthiest families in Hollywood. This past Friday, one of my homeless 15 -year-old teenagers was shot in Hollywood, Calif. This young man had to leave his home by age 11 sleeping wherever he could because he was forced into a gang like many young children are. That child was very brave. If he stayed home his family could be murdered; many families become victim to the forced actions of many children by age 10. Among the homeless in Calif. and Fla., there is horrifying violence among the older homeless who prey on children and homeless families. Unfortunately, in Boise, 1 am finding homeless predators that look all too familiar. At night when the homeless on our streets make it to our local shelters many do not feel safe through the night. Thank goodness among our Boise homeless there are some leaders that look out for the children; 1 call them the village leaders and they are extremely brave. But simply there are not enough government funds, shelters and people dedicated day-to-day to help this horrific problem; the situation ripped my soul; about a month later, sitting in Hawley Troxell being voted off my own board while looking out at the city of Boise, a city that I love with all of my heart, prolonged the hurt. What would never end was my promise to God that rooibos would be in every child's glass of water. And that the beautiful personal relationships that were built with the most amazing trainers, coaches and athletes in the National Football League and Major League Baseball could never be taken away. In 2006, spending time with Steve Jobs was truly a dream come true. His story of being fired from his own company never left my heart. In our final minutes, Steve looked me deep in my eyes and said "Lisa Marie, on this day 1 cried so hard it hurt." By the spring of 2010, it was necessary to leave Idaho knowing that 1 could not return for many years to seek help from global business leaders. During this time, forced to go homeless 1 chose to do mission work for over 3 years, it was necessary to determine why so many children under the age of 25 were homeless. Over these years, when I came home to see my family, walking our downtown Boise streets had become very painful. Homeless children with their families on many street corners; and many are under the age of 25. Are you kidding me? Since Hollywood, Calif. became my home base working with homeless children on the street day and night, it was necessary to bring solutions back home to Idaho. Becoming homeless in today's world was a blessing, it was necessary for me to understand why there are so many homeless children. Shocking of all, many children under the age of 13 in Fla., and Calif., are alone with no parents; I have seen them as young as 7 years old. Over the past 2 years in Los Angeles I have named these youth "The Children of The Night." They will beg for money on Hollywood Blvd. then make their way to Beverly Hills to sleep in the bushes of the continues to get worse. Of course, our shelters have rules. If you arrive late, even if you have children, you must sleep outside. Many families must leave during the day to try to generate some kind of income. Our shelters do the best they can, but it is up to the residents of Idaho to solve this increasing problem. Please understand this problem is only going to get worse, as private citizens to help solve this horrific situation. We can do this by empowering holding hands, communicating and setting solid plans. Failure is not an option! It is time for Boise residents, business owners and their employees to be informed how together we can build solutions and put an end to the rising number of homeless children living on our streets or in shelters. Every child should live in safety and stability, drug and alcohol free. Mental abuse is hard to see. Enough is enough! I will personally help every day to educate and train our Idaho youth who can lead this country, solving a serious problem in our own state, which will help this dire situation in the entire USA. Remember nothing is impossible; we can do this with just a few dedicated leaders. Thank you, Boise State University. Because working in the school 's chemistry lab set my passion for science forever. With the illnesses of my mother and son nothing was going to stop finding a cure. In 1996, being mentored over 3 days by C. Everett Koop M.D. (the former, and late US. Surgeon General,} was a dream. Four years earlier 1 had researched his work as far as back as his time at Dartmouth College; this man put his life on the line to fight the tobacco industry and for the good of mankind. On these days death was no longer a fear for my work ahead. Dr. Koop will forever be my inspiration. And now very soon, the entire story of my journey will be revealed to children nationwide and globally. Disturbing of all we are losing our children, in the Wood River Valley another teenager committed suicide reaching 15 needless deaths. In 2014, 1 plan to seek the nomination for the U.S. House of Representatives in Idaho or California, which will be revealed March 2014. In 2016, my name will be on the U.S. presidential ballot. It is my honor to serve our country and all of my companies will be Idaho registered. And now, every day, 1 shed tears of joy, because I am bringing ReddRox and SunnRooibos back to Eagle & Sun Valley. Every Idaho child aged 25 and under will hold a share of each company. The Willy Wonka Movie inspired me that one day I could gift children.

This newspaper article is available upon written request. Dick Phillips — Republic Storage & Banbury Golf Course Torry McAlvain McAlvain Construction Our corporate attorney, Russell Case, formerly of Hawley Troxell and ReddRox Chairman of the Board, Carl Johnston became a frightening nightmare. Thanks to Wells Fargo who informed me of potential criminal actions, and to protect us just at the right time to avoid Security Exchange Commission criminal action which would have left ReddRox lost forever. ReddRox Board of Directors voted in December 2009 were named in an Ada Country police report. These individuals will be held accountable for a number of actions that abrubtly ended ReddRox in May 2010. Documents will become public spring of 2014 to only residents of Eagle, Idaho. Reddrox Vice President of Sales, Alan Linder, falsely contacted Central District Health of Idaho and the FDA. Documentation is available for our company's previous clients and CEO of the food and beverage industry. Boise Cascade fired my mother in 1986 leaving her poisoned from second hand cigarette smoke forever. This spring the CEO and board of directors will be contacted and given full details and asked to please help my 82 -year-old mother. She lives with pain every day. Worse of all, she gave her heart and soul to her job. Lastly, SunOpta a U.S. Company will be asked in the future by the Idaho children shareholders why our bottle runs were ruined making it impossible to recover from Reddrox losses in 2007. This company cannot harm another small company ever again; I will make every effort to make sure a situation like this never happens again.

With Love & Compassion, Lisa Marie NBC., News...February 27, 2014 Hundreds of Foods in U.S. Contain Hazardous Chemical: Report Nearly 500 foods found on grocery store shelves in the United States, including many foods labeled as "healthy," contain a potentially hazardous industrial plastics chemical, according to a report issued Thursday by a health research and advocacy group. Azodicarbonamide, also known as ADA, was found as an ingredient in breads, bagels, tortillas, hamburger and hot dog buns, pizza, pastries, and other food products, according to a report by the Environmental Working Group, based in Washington. Some consumer groups have called for the removal of azodicarbonamide from use in foods. Fast food chain Subway said earlier this month that it was removing the chemical from its products, but stated that ADA is a safe and widely used ingredient for many foods. Azodicarbonamide is fully approved for use in food by the United States Food and Drug Administration and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. But ADA is banned as an additive in Australia and some European countries. As a food additive, azodicarbonamide is used as a flour bleaching agent and as an oxidizing agent in dough to improve its performance for bakers. It is also used in plastics to improve elasticity and can be found in yoga mats and shoes. The World Health Organization states that epidemiological studies in humans and other reports have produced "abundant evidence that azodicarbonamide can induce asthma, other respiratory symptoms, and skin sensitization" to people working with the chemical. The Environmental Working Group said manufacturers should immediately end the use of ADA in food. U.S. Senator Charles Schumer, a Democrat from New York, this month called on the FDA to ban ADA from foods. The FDA states that azodicarbonamide can be used safely if the amount in flour does not exceed 2.05 grams per 100 pounds of flour or 45 parts per million. -Reuters First published February 26th 2014, 11:58 pm
