Votes at a glance: Meridian council approves $37,000 streetlight amendment, annexes 33.893 acres
Summary
At the May 20 session the council approved a FY25 budget amendment for streetlight maintenance, and adopted an annexation/rezoning ordinance for a 33.893‑acre parcel; the Chick‑fil‑A drive‑through appeal was decided separately (see related story).
Key formal actions recorded by the Meridian City Council on May 20, 2025:
1) Fiscal year 2025 budget amendment — streetlight maintenance and repair ($37,000) A motion to approve a FY25 budget amendment in the amount of $37,000 for streetlight maintenance and repair passed by roll call. Staff said the maintenance/repair line had roughly $12,000 remaining and would run out at current expenditure rates by the end of the month without the amendment. Councilman Taylor moved the motion; council members voted aye on the roll call (unanimous). The amendment draws from the city’s general fund balance.
2) Ordinance 25‑2084 — annexation and rezoning (33.893 acres) The council adopted Ordinance No. 25‑2084, annexing a parcel described in city exhibits and rezoning 33.893 acres from RUT to ME zoning. The ordinance directs staff to update official maps and file copies with Ada County and the state tax commission. Councilman Taylor moved the ordinance; the council approved it by vote.
(See separate coverage for the Chick‑fil‑A drive‑through appeal, which the council considered in a public hearing and upheld the director’s denial by a 4–1 vote.)
Ending: Staff will implement the approved budget amendment and the city clerk will file the annexation ordinance copies as required by state law.
