MOTION CARRIED
NEW BUSINESS:
(CONSIDER REQUEST FROM LYNN MYERS [OWNER] CONCERNING THE SPECIAL
ASSESSMENT ASSOCIATED WITH SIDEWALK, CURB AND GUTTER FRONTING AT
708 MAIN STREET)
E1Jay Waite, 411 Blaine Street, presented information concerning the request from Lynn Myers. Mr.
Waite read into the record a letter received on September 21, 2009 from Lynn Myers (CC- 1000). He
stated that the sidewalk repairs at the site were made by the City in 2004 due to safety concerns.
In response to questions from the Mayor, Aaron Seable, 1303 12"' Avenue, Nampa, noted that if the
lien is released and then re- filed, it would have a priority date equal to the date that it was re- filed.
Mr. Waite reported that a few years ago Council had granted an opportunity to release an LID lien for
the purpose of an elderly couple refinancing their home for a lower interest rate. The LID was then re-
filed.
BOOK 50
PAGE 132
In response to questions from Councilman Hopper, he noted that Mr. Myers is proposing to complete
the payment within a twelve month period. Mr. Myers had requested a forgiveness of interest since
2004 because nothing has been paid and apply the 25 percent City factor that is done in normal
concrete LIDS. There would be a reduction from the original assessment and then a forgiveness of any
interest that has accrued since the date of completion.
Mr. Hopper noted that it seems reasonable to work with Mr. Myers concerning this issue
MOVED by Hopper, SECONDED by Blacker to grant the 25 percent City factor applied to normal
concrete LID'S on completed work, that the payment be restructured for the neat twelve months, and
the agreement not include any back interest accrued since 2004 with the stipulation that staff has the
authority to re -file the lien if the obligation has not been paid off within the neat twelve months.
Councilman Callsen asked if the time frame failed, does the 25 percent go back on the obligation along
with interest.
The Mayor stated that such a decision would need to come back before Council if they had previously
determined to forgive the interest. Discussion followed.
MODIFIED MOTION: MOVED by Hopper /SECONDED by Blacker to accept a twelve month
repayment of the principal at 75 percent of the original, leave the lien in place, and at the end of the
twelve month period (if the principal is completely paid off), the interest would be forgiven.
Aaron Seable asked Mr. Waite if the party is planning to refinance their loan on the building, which the
presence of the lien would affect.
Mr. Waite replied that Mr. Myers had not indicated any refinancing possibilities, only a plan to pay off
the back taxes from 2004 and 2005.
Roll call vote. Those voting yes: Hopper, Callsen, Dakan, Sobba, Blacker, and Oates. Those voting
no: none. Absent and /or not voting: none.
MOTION CARRIED

MOTION CARRIED
(PUBLIC HEARING: PROPOSED CLARIFICATION OF THE URBAN RENEWAL PLAN
FOR THE CALDWELL EAST URBAN RENEWAL PROJECT AND CALDWELL EAST
WORKABLE PROGRAM [THE "PLAN "] TO MAKE CLEAR THAT ACTIONS AND
PROJECTS FOR EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES INCLUDING COLLEGE PUBLIC
FACILITIES ARE INCLUDED IN THE PLAN)
BOOK 50
PAGE 133
E1Jay Waite, Urban Renewal Chairman, 411 Blaine Street, presented the staff report. He outlined
information concerning the proposed clarification to the Caldwell East Urban Renewal Plan. He noted
that the public hearing was properly noticed.
The Mayor clarified that the public hearing would deal with five words added to the 2009 Clarification to
Plan - Section 301 (a) General to read: "including without limitation college facilities" and Item IV -
Proposed Workable Program/Implementation Plan to read: "In addition there are a number of other
educational facilities needs in the area including, without limitation, college facilities for the Caldwell
area in partnership with schools, colleges, and other entities. These would include public facilities for
Treasure Valley Community College."
Bruce Schultz, Director of Treasure Valley Community College Caldwell Center, 1632 E. Chatham,
Eagle, spoke in favor of the request. He noted that the current Caldwell TVCC campus was established
in March 2003. In the six years of operation, over 6,500 students have been instructed and over 2,000
have graduated with an Associate of Arts Degree. Approximately 90 percent of those students have gone
on to attend four -year colleges located within the Treasure Valley. Approximately 1,000 students have
graduated with an Applied Science Degree and have moved immediately into the workforce. Nearly 500
students have completed the two -year certificate program in professional/technical fields and 600
students completed the one -year certificate programs in professional/technical fields. Over the past six
years, TVCC has generated a revenue base of over eight million dollars and employed nearly 100
professional and instructional Idaho staff. Ten local off -site campuses have been utilized over the six -
year period of time. Twenty -one instructional courses were offered in 2003 and 185 courses are now
offered in 2009. The annual enrollment growth averages a 35 percent increase. The new Fire Science
Technology degree was implemented this fall at the Caldwell Center. The current enrollment of "live"
students amounts to 900 students, 400 students in the distance education classes, and 513 students with
dual enrollment at the Caldwell Center and the Ontario Campus.
He stated that TVCC is currently working with a number of Caldwell community partners in establishing
a modern educational facility that we will have a significant value to the Caldwell community but also to
the projected 1,500 students in the 2010 fall enrollment. He expressed his support of the amendments
that allow for Council and Urban Renewal involvement in college improvements.
Dennis Cannon, 411 Blaine Street, spoke in favor of the request. He stated that Caldwell is very
fortunate to have TVCC located within the community. He noted that the addition of the TVCC campus
to the downtown will stimulate its economic growth.
Chris Yamamoto, 818 Suncrest, spoke in favor of the request. He reported that the Urban Renewal Plan
was previously amended to include the YMCA as a specific recreational facility. He noted that by
amending the Urban Renewal Plan, it would not only allow for the growing interest in educational
institutions within the downtown, but also to other areas within the community such as Sky Ranch.
Ken Wien, 16847 Lonkey Lane, spoke in favor of the amendment. He noted that he is an
AmeriCorp /Vista worker with the City of Caldwell. In the past he worked as a Main Street manager and
has worked on Chamber of Commerce boards and statewide business bureaus. His purpose as a Vista
worker has been to bring together the business people and others who are interested in seeing the
downtown grow. He reported that the attitude of the local citizens has been very cooperative and excited
about the possibility of a TVCC downtown campus.
Rem Fox, 2301 Idaho Avenue, spoke in favor of the request. He noted that any successful city within the
United States has an ultimate foundation of education. Caldwell is fortunate to have the availability of a
four -year liberal arts college, a university extension center, and a community college. He noted that
Houston, Texas is a strong example of community involvement in education. They invested $420
million in the Longhorn Community College two years ago and it is now the largest community college
in the nation. If Caldwell leverages the tripod — the College of Idaho, the University of Idaho Extension
Center, and the Treasure Valley Community College — thereby unifying an organizational structure, it
would not only put the community on the map, but would also have a long term output of students and
businesses. He concluded by stating that this is a tremendous opportunity for Caldwell.
Karman Fox, 2301 Idaho Avenue, spoke in favor of the request. She noted that she is a concerned parent
with children who attend the Caldwell schools. TVCC can bring an opportunity for a formal college
education to many individuals within the community.
Pat Charlton, Assistant Superintendent of the Vallivue School District, 15641 Longhorn Drive, spoke in
favor of the request. He noted that the Vallivue Academy ( Vallivue School District's first alternative
high school) partnered with the Urban Renewal Agency last year when they opened the facility in the old
Cable One building off of Happy Day Drive. Last year's enrollment was 60 students. A major remodel
was done to the building this summer to improve and expand the facility. He stated that this could not
have taken place without the assistance of the City of Caldwell and the Urban Renewal Agency. He
noted that Superintendent Grant was not able to attend due to a death in the family, but wanted to express
the school district's support of the proposal and express appreciation for the partnerships with the City of
Caldwell, the Urban Renewal Agency, and TVCC. He noted that the Vallivue School District currently
has students enrolled in TVCC classes.
Scott Curtis, YMCA Director, 3720 S. Indiana, spoke in favor of the request. He thanked Council for
their support of the YMCA. He noted that the YMCA has partnered with TVCC for the past four years.
The college has provided great opportunities for YMCA staff members and the youth within the
community.

Tracy Casper, Chairman of the Board for the Caldwell Chamber of Commerce, 3041 S. Whitepost Way,
Eagle, reported that her comments were for informational purposes only. She noted that she was neutral
to the amendments as representative of the Chamber of Commerce Board; however, the Chamber Board
has been very supportive in the past of TVCC's expansion in Caldwell. The college has provided
educational services to local businesses which support continuing economic development.
Mike McGinnism 3872 Bunchberry Way, Boise, spoke in support of the request. He noted that he owns
a sports bar in Meridian and will soon be opening a business in Caldwell.
Randy Million, Chairman of the Downtown Steering Committee, 707 Chaparro, spoke in favor of the
Urban Renewal Plan modification. He noted that the Downtown Steering Committee is very supportive
of the TVCC project concerning the campus relocation to the downtown area
Karen Alldredge, 3107 Arlington Avenue, spoke in opposition to the request. She expressed concern
regarding the spending of tax dollars for the TVCC downtown campus project. She noted the presence
of other colleges within the area such as the College of Idaho, Northwest Nazarene University, the
College of Western Idaho, University of Idaho, Boise State University, Apollo College, ITT, and Stevens
Henager College. She urged Council to not approve amending the Plan.
In rebuttal, E1Jay Waite stated that the community support concerning the Urban Renewal Plan
amendment has been strong as expressed at other public hearings which have been conducted regarding
this issue.
In response to questions from Councilman Oates, Mr. Waite stated that TVCC has currently outgrown
their rented facility. The proposal involves constructing a building in downtown Caldwell along Indian
Creek that would house classrooms, faculty space, the bookstore, and student services. The size of the
building would be approximately 30,000- 35,000 sq. ft. They would pay rent for the facility at the rate
they are paying now and Urban Renewal would provide that space. The rent would be used to eliminate
the funds that Canyon County, Urban Renewal, and the City of Caldwell are currently making to foster
economic development in this community to the Canyon Economic Development Council. Therefore,
the rent (and not the taxpayers) would fund Economic Development. The businesses that would come to
town would be used as educational opportunities for the students. This would become a very powerful
economic engine for Caldwell and a strong benefit for the community. As the need for more classrooms
arise, it would be addressed at a future date as to how that expense would be paid for. He noted that he
expected opportunities for TVCC to participate to even a greater degree in the future.
Councilman Oates stated that he wanted clarification that the City is not just providing the facility for
TVCC. He noted the points expressed by Ms. Alldredge were well taken, especially as it relates to the
birthing of the College of Western Idaho and the accompanying taxation process.
Councilman Callsen asked if any of the Caldwell High Schools students in attendance wanted to express
their views concerning the proposal.
Andrew Taes, 1516 North Plateau, spoke in favor of the request. He noted that he appreciated the
availability of classes held locally and not having to attend classes only at the Ontario campus.
Councilman Hopper expressed his opinion that the language change is unnecessary. The original Urban
Renewal Charter, educational facilities was clearly stated in the mission of what the Urban Renewal
Agency was trying to support. He noted that property has been provided for schools in both the
Caldwell and Vallivue School Districts as well as infrastructure assistance and aid to new construction of
schools in both districts by Urban Renewal. It is a natural extension that educational facilities is not just
about public schools but also private schools, vocational training, and whatever kinds of education that
the community needs. Studies show that as your residents and workforce are educated, it improves the
standard of living for the entire community. Education provides more opportunities, economic growth,
better jobs, and opportunities for those looking to relocate and establish a business with the trained
workforce that they need. The mission of the Urban Renewal Agency all along has been to support
education. This project will provide the bridge to education in the vocational and a fundamental higher
education process. By way of TVCC's consistent record enrollments, it is evident that there is a need
for TVCC and the type of education it provides to this community.
The Mayor expressed that the action tonight simply allows the Urban Renewal Agency to further invest
in the families and children of this community. This action is investing in human capital - investing in
people. These dollars are being spent to create opportunity that may not otherwise exist. There is not a
better investment of any dollar, whether it is private, personal, or tax dollars than investing in the lives of
people. Whatever investment is made over the period of years, will be repaid by the very students who
attend there. Once the cost of that facilities is paid for, those dollars will continue to come back and
provide further funding for economic development, further funding of opportunity within that agency,
and certainly invest further in the lives of the citizens of Caldwell. This is not just about investing in
bricks and mortar, but it is about investing in people.
Councilman Callsen stated that this action is one more piece of the puzzle that will continue adding pride
in our community.
