Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
Tuesday
july
26th,
the
time
is
six
o'clock,
the
the
appointed
time
for
the
presentation
of
our
tentative
budget
presentation.
All
three
commissioners
are
present
and
I
would
like
each
elected
official
to
introduce
themselves
as
well.
So
we'll
start
down
here
with.
A
Okay,
we
have
most
everybody
here,
there's
a
few
absent
for
personal
reasons,
but
hey
we're
here
for
the
tentative
budget
presentation.
A
The
this
commission
spent
a
tremendous
amount
of
time
putting
together
the
the
budget
and
our
clerk's
office
have
been
working
diligently
to
put
it
all
together
in
a
little
packet,
and
so
that's
what's
here
now,
if,
if
there
are
anyone
who
wishes
to
testify
after
the
clerk's
office
gives
us
gives
us
the
presentation
on
the
tentative
budget,
please
sign
in
in
the
back,
so
we
we
can
know
who
wants
to
speak
so
there's
a
sign
up
sheet
in
the
back.
A
So
let
us
know
if
you
want
to
speak
and
that's
and
that's
how
you
do
that.
Okay
without
further
ado,
we'll
turn
this
over
to
our
soon-to-be
new
clerk.
Mr
trent
triple.
H
H
H
H
In
a
moment,
I
will
present
the
budget
using
our
budget
explorer
that
allows
every
citizen
to
see
exactly
where
their
tax
dollars
are
going
down
to
the
penny.
But
I
thought
I
would
start
off
by
stating
that
two
out
of
every
three
tax
dollars
in
this
budget
account
for
two-thirds
of
the
tax
dollars
required
for
this
budget.
H
As
you
can
see,
numbers
are
numbers
and
you're
going
to
hear
a
lot
of
them
from
me
today.
But
hopefully
you
will
get
a
sense
for
what
those
actually
mean.
I
can
throw
numbers
at
you
all
day
long,
but
what
we
want
to
get
out
of
this
is
to
help
you
understand
that
the
tax
dollars
and
the
revenue
that
we
receive
from
fees
were
able
to
create
and
maintain
a
safe,
attractive,
strong
community.
H
H
But
I
am
pleased
to
report
that,
through
collaboration
tapping
into
funds,
balanced
fund
balance
savings
and
some
sacrifices
on
the
part
of
the
elected
officials
in
their
submitted
budgets,
we
were
able
to
achieve
a
much
needed
increase
in
employee
wages,
while
not
taking
any
of
the
allowable
three
percent
tax
increase
in
the
general
fund
and
still
provide
top-notch
services
for
our
citizens
to
kill
two
birds
with
one
stone.
I'm
going
to
walk
through
our
award-winning
budget
explorer
to
present
the
budget
and
showcase
the
transparency
of
the
process
and
the
numbers
behind
it.
H
H
H
While
your
consolidated
tax
bill,
which
includes
all
of
those
taxing
districts,
is
sent
to
you
from
the
county
treasurer,
we
only
control
a
portion
of
the
total
tax
levied
on
on
each
citizen
of
the
tax
dollars
allocated
towards
the
county.
What
percentage
is
going
to
what
area
well
say?
Our
beloved
treasurer
beth
mohn
collected
100
from
me
in
county
taxes,
of
that
100,
50
and
40
cents
would
go
towards
public
safety,
which
is
police
and
emergency
services,
etc.
H
Twenty
six
dollars
and
seventy
cents
would
go
towards
general
government
services,
which
is
facilities.
I
t
department
and
support
offices.
Seventeen
dollars
and
twenty
cents
would
go
towards
judicial
services.
Prosecuting
attorneys,
public
defenders,
clerks
and
court
admin.
Two
dollars
would
go
towards
sanitation
or
weed
pest
and
mosquito
three
dollars
would
go
towards
health
and
welfare.
H
There
was
inflationary
costs
for
fuel
transportation
and
such
for
our
major
product
projects
are
capital
expenses.
Two
major
projects
accounted
for
the
increase
there,
7.5
million
dollars,
which
have
been
approved
for
a
larger
drug
problem,
solving
court
treatment
center,
as
well
as
five
million
dollars
for
a
new
financial
system
to
overhaul
our
in-house
system.
That
we've
had
for
quite
a
while.
H
H
The
special
taxing
districts
of
ems,
pest
mosquito
and
avamor
under
ada
county's
purview
will
be
taking
the
three
percent
increase
and
new
construction
role.
The
total
increase
in
property
taxes
for
those
special
taxing
districts
is
just
over
five
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
or
just
under
department
revenues.
H
H
H
We've
already
mentioned
the
team
that
put
this
together
put
on
here.
You
can
see
our
county
commission
with
chairman
beck
commissioners,
kenyan
and
davidson.
They
were
instrumental
in
helping
us
approve
this
budget
and
work
through
the
budget
deliberations
of
the
elected
officials
and
department
heads.
We
also
have
information
on
this
tool
for
you
to
be
able
to
contact
them.
If
you
have
questions
about
any
of
the
the
budget
presented
today,
if
you
hover
over
each
one
of
them,
you
can
see
their
contact
information
as
well
as
links
to
their
websites.
H
The
budget
process,
much
of
which
is
stipulated
by
statute,
kicked
off
for
us
early
in
the
year
on
january
18th,
where
we
receive
direction
from
the
board
as
to
the
priorities
for
elected
officials
in
developing
their
individual
budgets,
they
gave
us
direction
to
use
flat
budgets
from
fy
22,
but
allowed
us
to
increase
those
capital
expenses
by
3
percent
to
adjust
for
inflation
at
that
time.
That
seemed
sufficient.
H
As
we
got
the
budgets
submitted,
you
can
see
the
major
expenses
involved
with
it
with
a
five
percent
goal,
increase
the
dollar
an
hour
increase
as
well
as
new
positions,
special
salary
adjustments
and
health
insurance
increases
with
inflation
at
the
way
it
was.
We
also
had
to
deal
with
some
supplementals
here.
You
can
see
in
our
transformation
board
process.
Supplementals
were
considered
and
prioritized.
H
Our
next
step
was
to
move
into
budget
presentations
by
each
of
the
elected
officials
on
here.
You
can
link
to
their
actual
budget
submissions
as
well
as
their
presentations
that
happened
that
week
as
well
as
the
deliberations
the
following
week.
Here
you
can
see
the
links
to
those
sites
if
you
want
more
information
or
to
review
what
was
discussed
during
these
deliberations.
H
That
leads
us
to
today
our
budget
presentation
to
the
public.
Following
our
budget
presentation
today
of
the
tentative
budget,
a
final
budget
will
be
adopted
on
august
16th
of
note.
The
budget
that
we
are
presenting
today
cannot
increase,
but
it
can
decrease,
and
then,
in
september
we
will
go
out
for
the
final
levy
set.
H
This
is
an
amazing
tool.
It
has
a
lot
of
numbers
on
it:
lots
of
twos
and
threes,
but
I'm
going
to
try
to
get
you
to
the
point
where
you
can
understand
how
to
dive
in
and
get
to
where
you
want
to
see
where
the
numbers
are
on
the
top.
You
can
see
the
overall
budget,
which
includes
revenues
as
well
as
use
of
savings.
We
used
a
large
percentage
of
our
savings
this
year
to
try
to
keep
property
taxes
down.
H
You
can
see
that
up
here.
There
is
a
tree
map
of
the
size
of
the
budget
pertaining
to
the
and
right
now
it's
showing
you,
the
entire
ada
county
budget,
and
you
can
also
see
historical
trends
on
the
right
from
fiscal
year
to
fiscal
year.
In
the
lower
right
hand,
corner
is
a
tool
that
you
can
use
to
assess
generally
what
your
taxes
would
be
on.
Your
home,
you
can
plug
in
there
your
exact
assessed
value.
H
If
you
claim
the
homeowner's
exemption
and
it
will
calculate
for
you
how
much
ada
county
taxes
you
will
be
receiving
in
the
lower
middle
portion,
you
can
see
the
breakdown
of
what
is
being
used
for
that
entire
budget.
So
for
our
entire
budget,
you
can
see
property
taxes
of
158
million
dollars.
You
can
see
departmental
revenues
of
95
million
dollars
and
other
governmental
agencies,
66
million
dollars,
as
well
as
the
use
of
savings
that
I've
already
mentioned.
H
Let's
dive
deeper
into
here,
so
you
can
see
how
this
tool
works.
If
we
were
to
click
on
public
safety,
it
groups
all
of
those
departments
that
have
to
deal
with
public
safety
into
one
budget,
and
you
can
see
of
the
471
thousand
dollar
home.
Two
hundred
eighty
two
dollars
is
going
towards
public
safety.
H
If
you
were
to
hover
over
the
but
the
chart
here,
you
can
see
that
it
pops
up
with
additional
information
for
the
highlights
for
each
one
of
those
individual
things.
You
can
also
dive
down
deeper
into
each
one
of
these.
H
H
You
can
also
see
down
there
that
he
is
predominantly
property
tax
funded,
as
well
as
some
help
from
departmental
revenues
and
other
government
agencies,
and
you
can
also
see
the
lion's
share
of
taxes
are
going
to
support
again
public
safety.
Here,
if
you
scroll
over
the
bars
over
here,
you
can
see
the
percentages
change
from
each
year
to
year.
H
If
you
were
to
go
to
the
bar
chart,
it's
just
a
different
depiction,
showing
you
the
largest
to
the
smallest,
and
you
can
scroll
down
down
to
very
finite
detail
of
every
line
item
within
the
sheriff's
budget,
which
will
show
you
what's
made
up
of
it.
If,
for
instance,
we
were
to
go
to
emergency
medical
services.
H
You
can
see
the
highlights
for
their
budget.
This
year
are
three
new
ambulances
which
were
desperately
needed.
You
can
also
see
pay
adjustments
for
all
positions
under
fifteen
dollars
an
hour.
I
might
remind
everyone
that
you
can
make
significantly
more
than
that
working
at
mcdonald's
and
yet
we're
having
folks
drive
ambulances
and
save
people's
lives
for
less,
which
was
a
much
needed
adjustment.
H
If
we
were
to
go
into
general
government
under
auditor
and
elections.
H
You
can
see
on
here
the
budget
highlights
the
new
financial
system.
If
you
look
at
the
bar
chart
on
the
right,
you
would
think
wow.
That
is
a
significant
increase
from
last
year
to
this
year.
Again,
that's
five
million
dollars
for
a
financial
system
next
year
that
will
drop
off
and
it
will
be
readjusted
back
to
probably
more
normal
levels
for
budgetary
reasons,
but
as
part
of
the
auditor
recorder
elections
office,
I'm
proud
to
say
that
we
only
cost
you
two
dollars
and
seventy
cents.
H
H
You
can
see
there
are
five
new
positions
to
support
the
three
new
judges
that
the
legislature
approved
as
well
as
market
adjustments
for
all
our
our
court
clerk
court
clerk
positions,
those
that
are
helping
the
judges
and
you
can
see
the
year
to
year,
change
over
on
the
right
hand,
side
if
we
go
to
prosecutors.
H
It
didn't
make
sense
to
bring
on
more
positions,
even
though
they
were
technically
needed
because
of
the
growth
when
we
couldn't
even
fill
the
positions
that
we
had
so
in.
For
instance,
in
this
case,
the
prosecutor
decided
not
to
bring
on
the
two
new
positions
and
use
funds
to
be
able
to
adjust
pay
wages
for
those
positions
that
were
vacant
to
attract
more
attorneys
to
be
able
to
come
to
the
county.
H
As
you
can
see,
eight
new
positions,
22
special
salary
adjustments
and
then
a
construction
of
a
new
combined
administration
operations
building,
but
it
cost
taxpayer
dollars
zero
other
than
use
of
the
landfill,
because
this
is
largely
it's
solely
supported
by
department
revenue.
So
you
can
see
down
here.
Zero
of
your
tax
dollars
are
going
towards
the
landfill.
H
H
H
The
magenta
is
related
to
capital
expenses
that
we
have,
and
you
can
look
at
some
of
these
on
the
right
hand,
side
and
see
from
year
to
year.
The
top
five
line
item
increases
from
one
year
to
the
next,
and
you
can
see
for
staff
that
17
million
dollar
figure.
That
was
our
biggest
increase
in
the
line
items
for
our
decreases.
You
can
see
our
master's
facility
plan,
we
didn't
fully
fund
this
year.
H
H
If
you
were
to
look
at
clerk
auditor
recorders,
normally
our
personnel
is
our
largest
expense
across
the
county.
That's
true
this
year,
however,
because
of
the
five
million
dollar
financial
system
that
we
are
bringing
on
board,
you
can
see
that
significant
jump
in
expenses
there
again
that
will
decrease
the
following
year.
When
that
contract
is
completed,
you
can
roll
over
any
one
of
these
and
see
the
historical
trends
from
year
to
year
for
each
detailed
line.
Item
expense,
which
is
a
great
tool
to
be
able
to
use.
H
Revenues
you'll
see
three
three
colors
here:
green,
which
is
related
to
property,
tax,
lime,
green,
which
is
related
to
sales,
tax
and
magenta,
which
is
related
to
other
department
revenue.
Okay
and
again,
you
can
see
the
largest
increases
over
here
on
the
right
hand,
side,
as
well
as
the
top
five
decreases.
H
H
If
you
see
here,
the
property
taxes
used
to
support
judicial
services
took
a
nosedive
this
year,
that's
a
good
thing,
because
the
10.3
million
dollars
in
public
defense.
H
H
You
can
see
all
the
links
to
documents
and
videos
of
any
of
the
budget
deliberations
that
were
used
to
develop
this
budget.
You
can
go
on
there
and
again
do
deep
dives.
Just
like
I
showed
you
how
to
do
right
now
and
learn
as
much
as
you
want
about
any
of
this,
the
line
items
that
we
have
for
expenses
or
where
any
of
our
money
is
coming
from
in
terms
of
property,
tax
sales,
tax
or
department
generated
revenue.
H
A
I
hope
everyone
noticed
what
a
great
presentation
that
was,
and
that's
an
excellent
budget
tool.
If
anybody
is
interested
in
digging
deeper
into
it,
you
can
just
go
online
and
get
all
the
information
that
you
want,
and
I
think
it's
noteworthy
that
we
all
at
the
county
wanted
to
provide
the
best
government
services
we
could
for
the
least
cost,
and
that's
part
of
the
reason
that
we
did
not
take
the
increase
of
three
percent,
which
is
allowed
by
law
for
property
taxes.
A
We
kept
that
at
zero
and
I'm
happy
that
we
were
able
to
do
that.
I'm
pleased
that
all
of
our
department,
officials
and
our
other
elected
officials
helped
in
in
that
effort
and-
and
it
was
a
unanimous
vote
of
this-
this
commission
to
proceed
in
that
direction.
Now
we
we,
we
will
accept
any
comments.
If
anybody
wants
to
make
a
comment,
if
you,
if
you've
signed
up
in
the
back,
then
go
ahead.
A
I
I
For
the
past
two
and
a
half
years,
I've
volunteered
at
jesse
tree
a
small
emergency
rental
and
eviction
non-profit,
and
I
heard
hear
firsthand
how
difficult
it
is
for
people
to
pay
rent
and
to
find
housing
for
low-income
idahoans
housing
is
becoming
increasingly
unaffordable.
Just
two
hours
ago
I
talked
to
two
people.
One
was
a
single
mom,
a
low-income
single
mom,
whose
kids
were
sick
for
three
weeks,
so
she
lost
some
pay
and
a
young
guy
that
works
in
the
mall.
I
Who
has
medical
issues
so
he's
not
always
able
to
get
his
full
paycheck
and
their
rents
have
been
raised
and
they
are
struggling
to
keep
make
ends
meet.
Many
of
these
low-income
families
are
paying
over
30
percent
of
their
income
for
rent
and
some
as
high
as
50
percent,
leaving
them
with
little
money
left
over
to
pay
for
everything
else,
such
as
food,
gas,
clothing
bills
and
other
expenses.
I
I
So
far
this
year,
jesse
trey
has
prevented
for
over
over
500
families
from
eviction,
and
we
have
talked
with
over
2
000
tenants
at
risk
for
eviction,
and
this
is
only
july,
but
jesse
tree
is
just
a
small
non-profit
and
we
can't
meet
the
rising
need
alone.
So
it
is
extremely
disappointing
to
see
no
commitments
to
address
the
housing
crisis.
In
this
current
budget
of
ada
county
ada
county
received
more
than
90
million
dollars
from
the
american
rescue
plan
act
and
could
be
dedicated.
I
Dedicating
some
of
these
funds
to
address
the
housing
crisis
nationwide
more
than
638
million
dollars.
In
arpa,
funds
are
being
invested
in
emergency
rental
assistance
and
eviction,
prevention,
programs,
cities
and
counties
across
the
u.s
are
using
these
funds
to
construct
new
multi
and
single
family,
affordable
housing
units
update,
affordable
housing,
finance
partnerships
to
help
prevent
homelessness,
build
transitional
housing
and
other
innovative
solutions.
I
It
is
disappointing.
This
commission
has
decreased
its
funding
for
new
path,
despite
the
fact
that
a
study
by
boise
state
found
that
it
saved
the
county
1.3
million
in
his
first
year
of
operation,
the
funding
that
jesse
tree
catch
and
idaho
housing
authority
received
through
the
cares
act
is
going
to
run
out
in
three
to
nine
months.
I
Aydah
county
could
be
a
leader
in
the
prevention
of
homelessness.
Such
funds
will
allow
ada
county
to
avoid
a
serious
homeless
crisis.
I
feel
that
we
are
at
a
tipping
point
with
our
housing
crisis
in
ada
county.
Our
calls
at
jesse
tree
are
rising
and
more
and
people
are
teetering
on
the
verge
of
eviction.
I
J
Hello
again,
hello,
patricia
nielsen,
3225,
snowflake
way,
boise
idaho.
First,
I
want
to
echo
the
concerns
of
jessie
tree
and
I
encourage
the
use
of
the
arpa
money.
I
know
there
has
been
some
for
the
boise
city,
ada
county
housing
authority,
but
I
know
too
many
people
who
are
really
struggling
right
now,
particularly
with
housing.
J
So
I
just
want
to
echo
everything.
Linda
said.
I
also
want
to
give
a
nice
shout
out
to
our
assessor.
Maybe
you
know
maybe
I'll
come
in
august
to
the
adoption
hearing
too,
but
thank
you
for
all
your
your
service
over
the
years.
A
couple
of
things
that
I
just
want
to
these
are
just
comments.
You
know
with
my
four
eyes
going
through
the
budget
and
the
the
budget
explorer.
J
I
see
things
so
I
thought
I
would
call
them
out
to
your
attention
and
the
first
is
that
there's
a
disconnect
in
the
narrative
between
the
budget
explorer,
there
seems
to
be
much
more
detail,
especially
in
the
department
narratives
than
there
is
in
the
actual
printed
documents.
I
would
encourage
those
to
be
kind
of
synced
up
as
to
be
to
to
really
highlight
the
transparency.
J
That's
in
the
budget
explorer
in
the
adopted
document
and
one
one
example-
and
it
was
mentioned
you
know
the
five
percent
cola
and
the
dollar
an
hour
pay
increase
fantastic,
but
I,
as
a
citizen,
I
have
a
hard
time
when
I
went
through
the
narratives
in
the
budget
explorer
and
I'll
just
give
as
a
reference.
Some
of
them
are
highlighted.
You
know
the
prosecutors
have
the
two
248
000,
for
you
know
retaining
I'm
not
sure
how
that's
done
going
to
be
done.
The
trial
court
administrator
has
some
special
salary
adjustments.
J
So
I'm
not
sure
what
the
total
salary
increase
is
to
county
employees,
but
I,
I
suspect,
if
it's
in
addition
to
the
five
percent
and
the
one,
then
that
might
be
something
to
to
highlight
the
other
disconnect
I
had
in
the
last
part
of
the
printed
document
is
the
capital
investment
plan
or
you
know,
funding
plan,
but
it
also
seems
like
there
isn't
anything
equivalent
that
I
could
find
and
I'll
spend
more
time
on
the
budget
explorer.
J
But
I
do
want
to
say
when
I
looked
at
the
master
facilities
plan,
it's
as
you
know,
willfully
underfunded,
and
I
really
fear
what
is
the
cost
of
not
funding
that,
and
so
I
think,
there's
a
there's
going
to
be
a
real
need
to
update
that
with
the
inflation,
everything
else,
the
master
facilities
plan
or
it's
a
useless
document.
There
was
also
I
couldn't
make
a
clear
connection
to
a
project
in
the
master
facilities
plan
to
the
equivalent
or
maybe
a
part
of
a
project
or
phase
of
a
project
in
the
budget.
J
The
other
thing
in
the
document
it
kind
of
didn't
have
individual
project
funds.
They
were
kind
of
lumped
up
into
one,
so
I
couldn't
tell
how
much
each
project
was
going
to
get
that
year.
I
could
kind
of
maybe
find
it
in
the
narrative,
but
I
would
encourage
again
all
those
links
to
be
be
firmly
made
and
then
my
last
comment
is
that
parks
master
plan.
That's
a
great
thing.
J
A
K
K
Do
you
need
any
more
information
other
than
that?
Okay?
I
am
going
to
kind
of
make
my
comments
short
because
linda
over
here
took
my
script.
Okay,
most
of
it
linda's
your
fault
anyway,
but
I
am
very
concerned
about
the
arpa
dollars
that.
C
K
Have
I
understand
it's
90
million
and
I'm
really
hoping
that
what
is
decided
will
be
very
transparent
about
where
that
money
is
going
to
be
spent,
and
also
I
would
encourage
you
to
to
invest
some
of
that
money
into
the
non-profits.
K
Now
these
are
boots
on
the
ground.
People
that
really
are
helping
the
under
served
people
in
our
community
and
heaven
knows
we
have
a
lot
of
those
kind
of
people
which
need
a
lot
of
help.
So
I'm
hoping
that
you
consider
that
I
actually
came
with
questions
and
I
understand
I
can't
ask
the
questions
so
I
have
a
copy
for
the
three
of
you
of
the
questions
and
I'm
hoping
that
at
some
point
you
will.
I
have
my
email
on
here.
K
If
you
could
email
me
the
answers,
because
I'm
computer
illiterate,
I
really
tried
to
get
on
the
website
to
try
and
figure
out
how
to
do
this,
to
communicate
with
you
on
the
website,
and
I
got
I
just
had
all
kinds
of
problems.
I
know
it's
really
hard
for
you
to
believe
that
my
son
is
a
computer
engineer
actually
at
bsu,
but
his
mom
is
just
lucky
to
be
able
to
turn
the
damn
thing
on
and
off.
A
Sure
just
give
that
to
our
clerk
and
we'll
we'll
we'll
have
that
up.
A
L
And
I
live
at
1102
north
19th
street
in
boise,
idaho.
I
am
also
president
of
the
county
homeless
coalition.
I
would
like
to
endorse
actually
the
great
overview
that
you
previously
heard
that
talked
about
just
how
critical
the
times
are
today
about
housing
crisis.
L
The
condition
people
are
in
I'm
guessing
that
every
one
of
you
just
like
all
the
rest
of
us
know
someone
who's
housing
insecure
at
the
moment.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
accepting
the
federal
arpa
funds.
I
know
that
you've
done
that,
as
well
as
the
emergency
rental
assistance
funds
because
of
our
current
crisis.
L
These
dollars
are
absolutely
critical
to
our
community
cities
and
counties
across
the
country
have
figured
out
really
creative
and
very
effective
by
the
way
ways
to
use
these.
These
monies
we've
got
lots
of
people
with
feet
on
the
ground.
Who
know
how
to
do
that.
We
must
also
use
this
windfall
it's
essential.
It
will
save
us
future
dollars
and
we'll
mitigate
future
problems.
L
I
ask
you
to
act
swiftly.
As
you
well
know,
these
funds
are
limited
in
terms
of
time
and
find
reliable
community
partners
who
can
use
this
money
effectively
and
it's
in
essential
that
it
go
to
the
welfare
and
well-being
of
ada
county
residents,
rather
than
being
sent
out
of
state
for
other
states
to
use.
Thank
you
very
much.
Please
mobilize
quickly
and
use
these
dollars,
and
thank
you
for
for
your
transparency.
L
I'm
certain
that
kay
marquad,
who
is
just
here,
has
gone
through
every
part
of
your
budget
analysis.
So
thank
you
for
being
transparent
in
the
way
that
funds
get
used.
We
really
appreciate
it
and
thank
you
for
your
service.
Thank.
M
Name
is
melissa
miller,
I'm
at
901,
west
howe
street
in
boise,
83706
and
I'll
be
really
quick.
I
just
came
to
echo
everything
that
was
just
said
and
my
concerns
about
homelessness,
housing,
evictions,
so
just
kind
of
the
lack
of
comments
and
addressing
the
housing
crisis
in
the
budget
in
general
and
again,
just
echoing
about
the
cares
act
running
out
the
90
million
dollars
of
the
arpa
fund
and
the
cuts
to
the
new
path
housing.
All
just
stood
out
to
me
as
big
concerns.
M
So
I
think
everyone
else
said
it
a
lot
more
eloquently
than
I
will,
but
I
just
wanted
to
echo
because
that's
what
I
came
for
today.
B
Mr
chairman,
yes
go
ahead,
just
based
on
the
public
testimony
that
we
received
one
of
the
things.
I
might
note
the
grant
funding
that
we
receive
we
budget
and
manage
that
separately
than
this
annual
budget
process,
so,
for
example,
the
arpa,
the
emergency
rental
assistance
program,
one
of
the
things-
I
will
note,
I
believe,
if
you
elizabeth,
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
here,
but
on
the
county
website,
we
do
have
a
sir,
a
public
survey
going
out
regarding
the
arpa
funds
right
now
and
are
seeking
public
comment
in
terms
of
our
use.
B
We've
used
some
of
the
money,
so
we
are
working
on
that
and
working
on
our
efforts
for
both
public
feedback,
as
well
as
transparency
related
those
funds,
and
so
we
welcome.
Obviously
we
all
heard
it
here
tonight,
but
welcome
any
feedback
regarding
the
utilization
of
those
funds
as
we
aim
towards
you
know,
we
have
some
projects
in
the
work
but
are
still
always
looking
for
ways
that
we
can
take
advantage
of
those
resources.
B
C
C
This
is
perhaps
the
very
best
budget
and
in
a
couple
of
different
ways,
is
the
process
and,
and
the
transparency
is
just
absolutely
amazing-
it's
the
process.
It's
a
very
fair
process.
Years
ago,
a
lot
of
the
budgeting
took
place
behind
closed
doors
with
private
conversations,
and
none
of
this
budget
has
been
done.
That
way
at
all,
it's
been
very
much
in
the
open
from
the
transformation
board,
prioritizing
capital
projects
to
the
budget
hearings
that
we've
had
and
are
televised,
or
at
least
streamed.
Now
the
transparency
that
this
budget
explore.
It's
just
absolutely
amazing.
C
I've
just
loved
to
just
sit
and
kind
of
wallow
in
in
all
this
and
learn
so
much
and
get
a
real
feel
of.
What's
going
on.
So
it's
the
transparency
is
just
amazing,
and
then
I
just
want
to
end
on
the
budget
piece
it's,
although
the
elected
officials
in
the
department
has
been
particularly
the
county
commissioners,
just
approached
us
in
a
very
responsible
way,
and
I
really
appreciate
that
they
quizzed
us
as
we
were
giving
our
our
presentations
and
they
asked
very
good
questions
and
causes
sometimes
step
back
a
little
bit
and
reconsider
something.
C
So
I
think
you've
just
done
a
very
responsible
job.
I've
seen
some
or
some
boards
just
kind
of
just
rubber
stamp.
Everything
that's
been
said,
and
I
know
that
you
have
not
done
that
you've
taken
it
very
seriously.
Two
more
comments
I
would
just
like
to
make.
First
of
all,
this
is
the
most
public
input
I
have
seen
it,
and
probably
the
last
five
years
at
least,
and
it's
so
encouraging.
It
was
just
really
good
constructive
input.
C
It
wasn't
just
carping
and
criticizing,
but
it
was
just
real,
genuine
points
that
that
needed
to
be
considered.
I
really
appreciate
that
last
thing
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
the
kind
words
that
people
have
said
tonight
is
just
it's
extremely
humbling
and
it's
it's
hard
for
me
to
say
goodbye,
but
it's
time
to
move
on
and
and
do
other
things
in
my
life,
and
I
just
appreciate
the
kind
words
and
the
sense
of
appreciation
that
people
have
expressed
for
the
work
that
we've
done
in
the
assessor's
office.
A
D
Well,
I
just
want
to
thank
trent
for
that
presentation.
I
think
it's
excellent.
I
think
the
budget
tool
is
just
incredible
as
far
as
transparency
goes,
and
I
don't
think
citizens
could
ask
for
a
more
transparent
online
budget
to
go
through
and
so,
and
I
want
to
thank
everybody
for
coming
out
and
giving
their
opinions
on
it.
D
I'm
wondering
if
we
might
be
able
to
include
a
one
extra
page,
maybe
a
summary
page
that
would
break
down
all
aveda
county's
sort
of
social
programs
on
just
one
page.
You
know
everything
that
we're
doing
to
address
housing
or
homelessness
or
drug
treatment
or
the
opioid
epidemic,
and
you
could,
you
know,
combine
all
the
you
know:
the
arpa
programs,
the
e-wrap
programs
or
whatever
came
out
of
general
budget
just
as
sort
of
a
basic
overview
of
everything.
D
E
Sure
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
the
folks
that
came
and
gave
their
input
their
feedback.
That
was
very
constructive
and
very
helpful,
and
I
saw
trent
over
there
taking
notes.
So
I'm
sure
we're
going
to
take
that
to
heart,
and
I
think
commissioner
davidson
has
a
really
good
point.
E
There
are
a
lot
of
really
good
community
programs
that
we
do
fund
and
we
made
some
big
differences
this
year,
and
so
I
think,
having
those
highlighted
on
our
web
page
in
other
places
as
well,
since
the
indigent
fund
is
going
away,
trend
is
looking
at
reorganizing
some
of
the
departments,
so
we
have
more
of
a
robust
community
program
right
now,
it's
all
under
the
board
of
county
commissioners,
but
we
really
want
to
have
more
oversight
on
those
programs
and
take
a
stronger
look
at
those
programs,
and
so
certainly
the
arpa
opportunity
is
going
to
kick-start.
E
F
Yeah,
that's
right.
So
first
I'd
like
to
thank
the
board
for
a
lot
of
things
that
it
did
for
our
employees.
You
know
the
sheriff's
office
has
the
largest
number
of
employees
out
of
the
county,
and
I
have
received
a
lot
of
comments
on
what
you've
done
for
them
in
this
budget.
They're
very,
very
appreciative-
and
I
want
you
to
know
that
I'm
not
just
trying
to
pat
you
on
the
back,
but
some
of
them
thought
I
did
it
for
them,
but
I
I
I
told
them
that
was
the
commissioner's
doing
so.
F
I
appreciate
that.
I
also
appreciate
again
all
the
all
the
questions
and-
and
you
know
the
way
that
you
kind
of
make
us
do
our
homework
to,
because
we
know
that
we
shouldn't
be
able
to
stand
up
here
and
just
have
you
write
us
checks,
so
I
appreciate
that
it
increases
the
transparency,
makes
us
work
for
for
what
we
need
trent
and
kathleen.
Thank
you
so
much
for
I
mean
you've
helped
our
agency
through
this.
F
So
much-
and
there
are
a
lot
of
people
that
are
on
this
up
here,
sitting
that
I
won't
get
to
work
with
next
year
either
and
it's
too
bad
that
it
was
a
little
bit
short-lived
for
me,
because
it's
only
been
about
a
year
that
I've
got
to
work
closely
with
the
three
of
you
that
are
leaving.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
everything
that
you've
done
and
and
just
know
our
our
employees
appreciate
you.
Thank
you.
Jake.
A
G
Also,
just
echo
those
comments,
thank
you
all
for
your
service
when
you
said
that
it's
going
to
look
very
different
up
here,
it
just
really
kind
of
hits
like
wow.
It's
we've
accomplished
a
lot,
but
it
will
look
very
different.
I
do
want
to
also
thank
clerk.
Mcgrain
trent
kathleen
everyone
in
the
staff
there.
Everything
that's
gone
into
this
for
the
last
seven
months,
or
maybe
not
quite
that
long,
but
a
long
time
also
want
to
thank
the
board
for
the
hard
decisions.
G
A
Okay,
thank
you.
I'd
also
like
to
to
add
that,
during
this
budget
process,
this
was
a
different
year
because
of
all
the
inflation
and
the
gas
prices
and
so
forth.
The
labor
shortages
that
we
that
we
are
encountered
as
everybody
else
in
the
community
encounters
these
labor
shortages
as
well,
and
so
it
was
our
collective
decision
that
we
were
going
to
do
the
best.
A
We
could
to
make
sure
that
our
employees
were
well
taken
care
of
because
our
employees
are
the
ones
that
provide
the
services
to
the
to
the
public,
and
so
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
they
were
comfortable
in
their
positions
and
that
they
were
getting
a
competitive
pay
and
that
they
were
able
to
buy
their
groceries
and
their
gas
to
get
to
work.
A
And
that's
the
reason
that
we
come
up
with
the
with
the
type
of
a
pay
plan
that
we
did
this
this
year
to
protect
our
employees,
because
that's
that's
the
heart
and
soul
of
our
whole
government
as
our
as
our
employees,
and
we
want
to
and
we've,
and
I
think
we
we
have.
We
have
a
special
place
here
in
ada
county
and
you
don't
really
realize
that
until
you
go
around
the
rest
of
the
state
and
examine
how
other
counties
do
business.
A
We
have
a
a
group
of
of
individuals,
elected
officials
and
our
department
heads
that
are
strong-willed
and
have
a
good
good
opinions,
but
we
can
disagree
without
being
disagreeable
and
I
think
that's
one
of
the
hallmarks
of
this
of
this
county
government.
Is
we
cooperatively
work
together
to
for
the
for
the
public's
good,
because
a
lot
of
the?
In
fact
most
of
the
of
the
programs
that
we
do
in
the
county
are
mandated
by
the
state
of
idaho?
We
only
have
a
small
amount,
that's
flexible,
the
rest
of
it.
A
We
we
have
to
do
because
that's
what
the
state
law
requires
us
to
do,
and
I
think
we've
done
that,
and
it
was
our
objective
from
the
beginning
that
we
wanted
to
provide
the
best
government
possible
for
the
least
amount
of
tax
dollars,
and
I
think
we've
accomplished
that
in
this
budget
I
think
we
accomplished
it
in
last
year's
budget
and-
and
we
have
all
of
the
elected
officials
and
our
department
heads
to
thank
for
that.
And
so
I
want
to
thank
trent
for
your
presentation.
A
If
you
haven't
had
a
chance
to
look
at
the
at
the
budget
tool
that
trent
export
deal,
look
at
look
it
up
and
I
think
you'll
be
you'll,
be
pleased.
Now
the
the
biggest
share
of
our
discussion
tonight
was
our
our
our
input
was
was
about
homelessness,
and
I
can
tell
you
I've
been
to
los
angeles.
I
have
a
daughter
that
lives
in
redondo,
beach
and
I've
been
to
los
angeles
a
number
of
times
and
it's
a
tragic
human
situation
that
they
that
they
have
there
with
the
homeless
people.
A
I've
been
to
portland
and
in
fact
I
went
on
my
honeymoon
to
portland
and
it
is
way
different
now
than
it
was.
Then
it's
been
a
while.
Yes,
that
has
been
a
little
while
and
the
the
the
homelessness
that
exists
in
our
in
our
in
these
cities.
It's
a
tragic
human
human
problem
and-
and
we
are
going
to
we
do
the
best
we
can
to
the
degree
we
have
the
responsibility
to
it
to
address
that,
and
we
will
continue
to
to
look
at
it
closely.
So
without
any
further
discussion.
Oh
mr
chair,
yes,.
D
D
You
know
a
year
ago
we
made
a
commitment
that
we
wanted
to
see
every
employee
in
ada
county
make
above
15
an
hour,
and
a
year
ago
we
got
the
vast
majority
of
them.
This
year
we
were
able
to
make
sure
that
everybody
got
over
15
an
hour
and
that's
you
know
very
important
because
of
the
you
know
again:
the
inflation,
the
rise
and
rents
and
housing
prices.
D
Of
course,
that's
not
the
end
of
the
discussion.
You
know
we
have
to
be
able
to
respond
to
the
economy
and
make
sure
that
we
don't
leave
our
employees
behind
when
the
economy
changes,
and
so
I'm
I'm
happy
that
we
were
able
to
get
everybody
over
15
and
again
we're
going
to
always
keep
re-examining
that
each
year
to
make
sure
that
our
employees
can
continue
to
work
here,
because
you
know
if
they
don't.
D
A
Thank
you
all
right.
If
there's
no
further
comments,
I
again
want
to
thank
everybody
who
came
to
this
meeting
tonight.
I
want
to
again
thank
our
all
of
our
elected
officials
and
our
department
heads
and
particularly
trent,
with
your
presentation.
That
was
a
great
presentation.
I
think
it
was
easy
to
understand
and
with
that
will
be
adjourned.
Thank
you.
