Okay
good
morning,
everybody
and
welcome
to
the
Boise
Public
Library
Board
of
Trustees
meeting
for
today,
Wednesday
March
8th.
Let's
start
with
our
roll
call.
B
Pantera
here
fresh
here
comments
here,
three
board
members

Magnuson
and
funny
awesome
great.
Do
we
have
any
staff
introductions
this
morning?
Yes,
thank
you
I.
We
have
some.
B
In
the
back,
maybe
you
could
stand
up.
This
is
Josh
letsinger.
He
is
our
new
Communications
manager.
B
Last
week,
where
the
city
so
we're
very
excited
and
as
you
know,
we've
already
talked
to
him
about
one
of
our.
B
Is
on
that
already
and
then
also
Eric
bellemoria
will
be
presenting
ideas.
The
city's
finance
manager
so
you'll
hear
from
people
later
today
and
then.
B
B
C
Hello
good
morning,
just
a
couple
of
quick
Updates
this
morning
on
February
20th
after
I
had
a
conversation
with
Jessica
about
House
Bill
139.
We
sent
a
message
to
our
contact
list,
encouraging
folks
to
get
in
touch
with
their
legislatures
with
their
views
on
that
bill,
and
we
had
some
really
good
and
thoughtful
responses
from
people
that
people
copied
us
on
what
they
sent
on
to
the
legislature.
So
that
was
I
think
a
success.
From
our
point
of
view.
We
are
also
going
through
our
membership
drive
right
now.
C
This
is
the
first
year
that
we've
been
able
to
accept
memberships
online,
and
so
that's
a
new
transition
for
us
and
is
going
quite
well,
and
we
are
also
have
our
board
meeting
tomorrow,
where
we
will
be
looking
at
three
scholarship
applications
from
library
staff,
and
we
are
very
excited
about
all
of
that
great
energy
and
excitement
that
those
scholarship
applications
always
bring.
C
So
oh
and
I
should
say
too
that
our
donations
are
up
and
running
across
the
street
from
the
library
after
our
soft
launch
a
few
weeks
ago,
and
we're
also
having
a
very
good
response
to
that.
So
hopefully
that
will
continue
to
keep
our
store
stocked
and
maybe
allow
us
to
do
some
other
things
later
on
once
the
inventory
is,
is
built
back
up.
C
We're
the
Old,
Foothills,
School
location,
so
just
sort
of
right
across
River
Street
from
the
library,
and
we
are.
We
currently
have
we're
currently
accepting
donations
three
days
a
week
and
we're
looking
at
possibly
having
another
crew
start
to
take
donations
an
additional
day,
but
we
don't
have
that
finalized
as
yet
right
now.
It's
Monday
Thursday
and
Friday
from
11
to
1.
B
C
B
E
Morning,
how
are
you
hey
it's
good
to
be
here
and
I
apologize
first
of
all
for
missing
last
month's
meeting,
it
was
by
air
and
I,
missed
the
date
and
I
apologize,
but
I
wanted
to
just
give
a
couple
updates
for
the
foundation.
As
mentioned
earlier.
The
foundation
is
in
a
position
right
now,
where
we
are
looking
to
strengthen
our
foundation.
E
We've
had
a
few
retirements,
we've
had
a
few
moves
over
the
past
couple
years,
and,
and
so
we're
eager
to
you
know,
build
up
and
strengthen
our
foundation
once
again
due
to
those
retirements
which
are
we
applauded
and
we
were
grateful
for,
but
we
we
missed
some
of
those
individuals
serving.
E
E
So
we
do
have
a
donation
process
in
place,
but
we
are
looking
to
enhance
and
to
improve
that
to
to
better
benefit
the
the
library
and
so
that
will
be
forthcoming,
hopefully
soon
that
we
can
announce
exactly
what's
happened
there
and,
furthermore,
the
boys,
the
Boise
comic
arts
festival,
is
in
our
in
our
minds
and
we're
taking
steps
to
actively
visit
Business
Leaders
to
invite
sponsorships
of
the
Boise
comic
Arts
Festival.
E
The
foundation
has
taken
this
on
to
to
be
the
major
sponsor
for
the
the
festival
and
any
monies
that
we
can
receive
from
the
business
communities
and
or
individuals
in
sponsoring.
That
will
allow
the
foundation
to
contribute,
perhaps
the
lesser
amount
and
be
available
for
other
opportunities
and
and
the
future
festivals
as
well.
So
that
is
kind
of
our
focus
on
going
forward
and
for
the
next
few
months,
and
that's
really
all
I
have
right
now.
B
Thank
you.
So
much
no
worries
about
missing
you.
Last
month,
it's
great
to
hear
from
you
this
month
and
I
know
I'm
excited
for
recap:
I've
been
seeing
the
social
media
posts
with
the
dates
and
getting
excited
about
it
already
so
glad
to
hear
that
you're
coming
up
some
additional
support.
We
appreciate.
A
A
B
Opportunity
to
provide
you
with
an
update
on
the
Idaho
legislature.
I
want
to
talk
about
some
upcoming
opportunities.
We
have
for
the
board
to
engage
with
staff
and
then
there's
not
here
at
this
meeting.
Brian
plenney.
B
Update
I
think
you'll
figure
that
a
little
bit
on
Wednesday
March
1st,
the
house
education
committee
held
a
hearing
on
two
Library
related
bills.
Rep.
A
B
Crane
of
Nampa
introduced,
House
Bill,
139
139
would
have
provided
for
a
civil
cause
of
action
against
Library
governing.
B
Such
as
the
library's
borders,
library
or
School
Board
municipality,
that
has
the
authority
over
a
library
which
would
provide
harmful
materials
to
children
and
the
amount
of
that
civil
liability
would
be
ten
thousand
dollars
per
item.
So,
as
you
might
imagine,
that
was
concerning
to
us
for
a
lot
of
reasons,
one
that
clinical
to
minors
wasn't
clearly
defined.
We
thought
it
was
subjective
and
punitive,
so
both
Brian
and
I
were
there
to
testify
in
opposition
to
139.
B
Although
we
weren't
appalled
at
that
time
that
house
bill
or
the
house
education
committee.
B
Not
to
send
it
forward
to
the
Full
House
foreign,
after
that
they
started
hearing
on
House
Bill
227,
and
this
bill
was
something
that
the
Idaho
Library
Association
had
worked
to
provide
for
consideration.
It
was
introduced
by
Jack
Nelson
Jerome,
and
we
really
thought
it
would
codify
some
of
the
best
practices
made.
A
B
Clear
to
the
public,
the
role
of
local
oversight
and
make
sure
that
every
Library
had
clear
and
consistent
collection
development
policies,
a
process
for
a
review
on
a
daily
basis,
so
I
had
submitted
written
testimony
and
supported
that
bill
and
had
the
opportunity
to
testify
the
house
education
committee
adjourned
before
taking
a
question
on
that
bill.
B
So
where
we
are
today,
as
we
expected,
there
will
actually
be
a
new
new
bill
introduced
and
we're
hearing
that
it
may
be
introduced
in
the
Senate,
and
it
may
be
a
bit
of
a
lens
of
this
year's
house
39
and
last
year's
House
Bill
666..
We
haven't
seen
it
so
we
don't
have
any
additional
information
for
you
on
that.
A
B
A
punitive
failure
race
is
still
something
that
would
be
considered
this
session,
and
obviously
we
will
be
updating
you
if
there
are
opportunities
for
engagement
and
I
know
that
I
really
appreciate
anybody,
knowing
that
Ryan
is
not
available
that
you're
just.
B
We
also
know
that
the
overwhelming
majority
of
items
don't
support
censorship
into
these
actions
that
will
result
in
censorship
and.
B
F
Yes,
I
guess
just
appreciate
your
work
going
down
there
and
people
being
involved,
including
Friends
of
the
library
as
well.
Librarians
jobs
are
hard
enough
already.
You
know
to
feel
like
you're
under
attack.
It's
really
really
difficult,
challenging
and
so
I
definitely
know
the
effect
of
the
ads
on
stats.
I
appreciate
everybody
kind
of
pushing
through.
B
B
In
fact,
on
Tuesday
April
11th,
the
library
is
going
to
hold
a
staff
appreciation
event
you
are
all
invited.
Carrie
Davis
will
send
out
a
request
for
you
to
RSVP
to
that,
because
particularly
we
anticipator
will
have
three
or
more
of
you
and
we'll
need
to
do
a
public
notice
for
that
that
I'd.
B
And
then
another
opportunity
for
a
board
of
trustee
member.
If
you'd
like
to
join
me
on
Wednesday
April
5th
for
our
home
business
team
is
celebrating
National
Library
Outreach
day
at
the
senior.
B
B
All
right,
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
move
on
to
the
questions
from
Ryan,
he
asked
for
the
director's
report.
If
there
is
an
updated
schedule
for
the
library
website,
redesign
and
I
don't
have
something
to
share
with
the
board
this
month,
but
I'm
going
to
have
something
next
month
for
that,
and
then
he
also
made
an
observation
that
in
the
renovations
of
the
downtown
location
it
looks
like.
We
do
have
a
lot
of
activity
last
month
we're
not
as
accurate.
B
F
A
B
B
B
Policy
3.05
Section,
3,
page
105,
home-based
services
and
3.058
scope,
company
services.
B
Now
we
can
talk
about
3.06
if
there
are
no
questions
on
3.05
3.06,
as
you
may
notice,
has
a
first
effective
date
of
March
of
2020,
and
this
is
directly
related
to
covid,
and
this
was
the
policy
that
was
put
in
place
by
the
board
and
over
in
order
to
give
the.
B
Authority
to
close
based
on
the
pandemic,
and
since
then
we
have
used
it
not
necessarily
for
covid
now,
but
have
had
a
couple
opportunities
where
we
have
used
this
policy,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
have
learned
is
that
when.
B
The
program
was
canceled
and
it
turns
out
that
that
is
not
something
that
we
that
I,
as
the
Director
have
been
contacting
the
board
residents
about
when
a
program
is
canceled,
and
that
made
me
you
know
some
of
the
programs
get
canceled,
because
it's
a
story
time
in
a
park
and
the
air
quality
index
is
in
the
you
know,
100
or
150
or
above
so
we
don't
do
those
afterwards.
So
we'll
cancel
that
program
or
if
it's
a
program,
that's
with
a
partner
and
the
partner.
B
F
B
A
B
B
B
Limited
you
know
severe
weather
building
safety.
We
got
the
request
for
closure
or
something
where
it's
unsafe,
so
edits
that
we
put
forward
for
you,
for
consideration
are
really
the
ones
that
we
think
reflect
how
we've
been
achieve.
You
know
three
years
that
we've
had
this
policy
in
place.
How
we've
used
it.
B
Right
really
just
a
question
so,
with
regard
to
canceling
programming
and
meeting
rooms
of
stuff,
that
was.
B
I
mean
I,
don't
necessarily
need
to
stay
in
policy,
but
is
there
a
regulation
or
anything
governing
that,
or
is
that
just
more.
B
Just
a
day-to-day
operational
yeah
I
think
it's
a
day-to-day
operational
like
you
know,
for
instance,
if
we
do
need
to
like
say
we
have
to
cancel
an
outdoor
story
time,
we
do
it.
You
know
we
notice
that
by
social
media
we
pull
something
up.
You
know
physically
at
that
location,
or
you
know,
science
board.
That
says
alert.
A
B
B
B
B
E
B
Sure
the
other
instance
I
wondered
that
I
didn't
notice
here
that
I,
if
I
recall
correctly,
we've
had
is
closures
like
full
building
closures
or
reduction
of
hours
due
to
Staffing
Workforce
issues.
So
these
are
kind
of
these
feel
more
like
health
and
safety,
but
yeah
we
handle
it
as
the
programmatic
points.
C
B
The
as
the
because
I
consider
that
reduced
hours,
okay,
and
so
that
is
so.
E
C
B
The
the
reduction
in
hours
is
due
to
staff
sure
yeah
I,
don't
know
if
it's
that
way,
it.
B
B
B
B
And
then
I
will
raise
the
question
for
the
record
that
that
Brian
had
as
well.
He
had
a
suggestion.
B
In
the
first
paragraph,
he
was
recommending
putting
a
period
after
the
word
hours,
so
after
unscheduled
closures
and
or
reduced
hours,
putting
a
period
in
Striking
the
rest
of
that
sentence,
and
we
had
talked
about
that.
Thank
you
for
remembering.
We
had
talked
about
that
and
wanted
to
leave
the
rest
of
the
sentence,
because
we
thought
it
actually
provided
a
little
bit
of
the.
A
B
For
unscheduled
in
terms
of
reduced
hours,
but
we
wanted
the
examples
below
show
some
of
the
safety
or
the
well-being,
but
we
wanted
to
have
a
little
bit
more.
That
was
my
thing.
I
would
agree
on
leaving
it
in,
but
I
had
the
thought.
Maybe.
B
B
A
B
So
much
I'm
very
happy
to
be
here
today.
We've
got
some
great
content
for
you.
Hopefully
we're
really
excited
to
be
able
to
share
this
with
you.
B
All
right,
thank
you,
so
our
agenda
today,
we've
got
there.
We
go.
We
got
the
we
have.
The
council
presentation,
update,
revisit
the
project,
Timeline,
review,
revised
vision,
mission
and
value
statements
and
review
new
strategic
priorities
and
goals,
as
well
as
next
steps.
So
at
our
last
boarded
board
meeting
we
discussed
the
12
key
insights
in
depth.
We
obviously
have
a
lot
of
content
today
against
the
discussion.
B
So
for
the
council
presentation,
Jessica,
reviewed
phase,
one
of
the
library
strategic
planning
process
was
it
last
last
Tuesday
or
two
Tuesdays
ago,
yeah
28th,
yes,
a
28th.
B
We
brought
to
them
I
wanted
to
share
a
few
of
the
comments.
If
you
haven't
watched
the
reporting
that
we've
just
been
sure
if
you've
had
you
haven't
had
a
chance
yet
so
some
of
the
the
comments
received
during
that
presentation
from
Council
Members
was
real
appreciation
for
Library
staff
on
multiple
fronts,
appreciation
for
the
amount
of
community
outreach
done
in
Phase
One
and
that
the
plan
will
be
built
on
my
community.
If
what
we
received
council
members
noted
that
this
is
an
important
time
to.
A
B
Lifelong
Opera
learning
opportunities
that
public
libraries
provide
that
Equitable
access
to
Services
requires
actual
access
to
facilities.
Comment
that
the
supporting
role
is
a
central
access
point
for
Community
Resources
requires
training
and
professional
development.
Library
staff
and
additional
Staffing
and
Facilities
will
be
needed
to
maintain
all
levels
of
Library
services
at
CC
Pros
en.
F
Yeah,
maybe
just
a
little
bit
of
context.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
add
a
little
bit
more.
It
was
very.
It
was
very
interesting
meeting
because
we
also
got
plans
from
some
other
departments
and
stuff
like
from
the
police
department,
the
fire
department,
and
it
was
really
impressive,
I-
think
to
see
the
amount
of
Outreach
that
the
library
had
done
and
how
the
outreachable
and
form
sort
of
the
next
steps
and
I
think
that
there
is
probably
some
desire
from
Council
to
get
to
some
of
the
specifics.
F
You
know
what
that
might
include
Staffing
location
recommendations,
things
like
that,
because
I
think
we
all
know
that
that's
the
discussion
that
has
to
happen
at
some
point-
and
you
know
people
I,
think-
are
eager
to
not
dance
around
it.
So
I
would
just
you
know,
relay
encouragement
for
the
Strategic
plan
and
the
libraries
yeah
I.
B
A
B
All
right,
so,
very
briefly,
on
our
project
timeline.
We
are
actively
engaged
in
the
directing
of
the
Strategic
plan,
we're
feeling
on
track
for
phase
two
there
and
then,
as
part
of
that
drafting
the
plan.
The
first
part
of
that
is
revising
or
refining
the
Mission,
Vision
and
values.
The
library
management
team
created
the
new
versions
that
you'll
see
shortly
then
we
gathered
staff
input
and
then
we
updated
them
brought
them
back
to
the
staff
and
now
we're
bringing
them
to
you.
B
Okay,
perfect.
Thank
you
all
right.
So
our
mission,
thank
you
for
your
patience
with
that
our
vision,
aspirations
we
have
for
the
library
we
actually
don't
currently
have
a
vision.
So
our.
B
We
see
Public
Library
is
where
everyone
in
Boise
goes
to
grow
our
mission,
our
purpose
and
why
we
exist.
Our
mission
is
to
provide
access
and
opportunity
for
Everyone
by
connecting
people
to
ideas,
information
and
the
community
and
our
values.
What
we
believe
in
our
revised
values
are,
we
welcome
and
serve
everyone.
We
provide
information,
services
and
programs
that
are
free
and
open
to
all.
We
uphold
the
rights
of
privacy
and
the
freedom
to
read
and
seek
and
hold
different
points
of
view,
and
we
adapt
to
emerging
needs
in
our
community.
B
B
And
more
here's
exactly
what
we're
talking
about
so
with
that
I
have
got
all
three
of
those
versions
on
the
screen
and
just
wondered
if
you
would
be
interested
in
a
brief
discussion
on,
and
these
are
working
drafts
based
on
the
phase,
one
input
with
staff
staff
review
and
as
a
trustee
in
your
role
advocating
for
the
library
of
the
community.
Do
you
feel
that
these
are
clear
enough.
B
Like
I'm
talking
a
lot
this
time
but
I
think
they
look
really
good
I
really
like
them
at
First,
Watch
I
had
one
comment
or
thing
to
consider
on
the
values
we
provide
information,
services
and
programs.
I
think
it'd
be
good
to
have
something
to
do
with
space
or
place
because
I
think
that's
an
important
part
of
the
library
too,
and
that
came
up
quite
a
bit
at
the
sessions
I
was
at.
Is
we
want
a
neighborhood
place
or
we
want
it.
B
What
do
you
think,
but
we
just
want
to
make
sure
we
got
them
in
front
of
you,
we'll
make
sure
you
have
copies
of
this
presentation.
A
B
You'll
have
time
you'll
see
these
again,
but
we
wanted
to
see
this
is
our
current
working
draft.
These
are
great
suggestions,
so,
yes,
thank
you
and
again.
You'll
have
chances
to
give
us
additional
feedback
as
well,
so
if
you're
comfortable
with
it
I'll
move
into
our
next
piece
of
what
we're
doing
today,
which
is
the
next
step
of
drafting
the
plan,
is
defining
the
Strategic
priorities
and
goals.
The
Strategic
priorities
is
both
both
of
the
city
of
Boise
use
it
overall
and
then
also
what
other
City
departments
uses
such
as
the
fire.
B
They
recently
the
strategic
planning
these
strategic
priorities
as
their
highest
level,
so
we're
adopting
that
vocabulary
as
well.
The
project
team
umez
behind
me
who
you've
met
before
and
some
other
presentations,
Emily
and
Jessica.
We
love
the
effort
and
then
worked
with
the
library
management
team
to
Define
these
they're
again,
based
on
the
phase.
One
input,
the
12
key
insights
that
we
discussed
last
time
so
without
further.
A
B
Our
four
strategic
priorities
for
the
next
five
years
are
to
expand
access,
increase
impact,
optimize
resources
and
measure
value
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
each
one
of
those
on
the
next
few
slides
and
then
again,
I
have
another
slide
that
has
them
all
in
one
for
discussion.
If
interest
is
there
so
for
that,
first,
one
expand
access,
make
our
collections,
programs
and
services
available
when
where
and
how
people
want
them
as
the
priority,
the
Strategic
priority,
the
goals
increase,
access
to
materials,
enhance
and
expand.
B
Physical
presence
increase
the
number
of
residents
who
benefit
from
library
services
next,
one,
the
priority
increase
impact,
create
valuable
experiences
for
every
resident
and
meets
their
needs
at
every
stage
of
life
goals
under
that
are
Elevate,
literacy
and
lifelong
learning
and
collaborate
with
Community
organizations
under
optimized
resources.
Priority
modernize,
strengthen
and
streamline
our
operational
capabilities
goals
under
that
priority
modernize
operations
and
invest
in
the
employee
experience
and
finally,
priority
strategic
priority
measure,
value,
establish
impact
and
performance,
metrics
and
use
data
for
decision
making
goals
under
measure
value
are
defined
and
communicate.
B
Bit
more
about
that,
we've
got
that
again
all
of
those
on
one
page
and
we
wanted
to
give
a
little
bit
more
context
for
them.
So
we'll
be
using
these
strategic
priorities
and
goals
to
draft
the
plan
itself
and
to
create
the
collateral.
A
B
That
would
be
a
new
web
page,
a
document
we
hand
out
an
executive
summary
and
then
use
moving
forward
with
working
with
staff
on
these
so
I'm,
using
using
them
on
all
those
external
facing
elements
to
write
the
narrative
for
the
Strategic
plan.
B
We
kept
thinking
about
what
you
said
Rebecca
last
time,
which
was
how
many
goals
really.
B
On
and
so
with
that
in
mind,
I've
folded,
one
goal
under
each
strategic
priority
that
the
library
management
team
really
talked
through,
that
we
wanted
to
have
four
goals
that
we're
starting
with
focusing
on
an
fy24.
B
So
knowing
that
all
of
these
things
are
what
we
want
to
accomplish
over
five
years,
but
really
focusing
at
first
based
on
criteria
a
variety
of
criteria
so
including
capacity
budget
dependencies
and
breadth
of
impact.
These
are
the
ones
that
we're
highlighting
a
couple
of
them
in
particular.
Also.
We
feel
really
addressed
a
lot
of
the
discussion
at
the
last
board
meeting
about
the
key
Insight
number,
eight
being
the
most
important,
which
is
the
community,
does.
A
B
Realize
or
know
enough
about
what
the
library
does,
as
we've
done,
some
more
research
and
thought
about
it.
Collaborating
with
Community
organizations
is
one
of
the
best
ways
to
get
that
information
out
there,
especially
for
people
in
need
in
the
community,
and
so
we,
although
it's
not
written
in
there,
we
really
feel
like
that.
B
That
is
key
to
addressing
the
key
Insight
number
eight,
as
well
as
Define,
and
communicate
impact
under
measure
value
that
right
now,
even
even
at
the
last
board
meeting
when
Eliza
presented
on
the
ulc
business
calculator
and
having
you
know,
discussions
where
you
all
need
suggestions
too,
how
could
you?
What
could
you
do
with
this
for
programs?
B
Would
you
do
something
similar
and
that
sort
of
thing
that
for
us
to
be
able
to
really
Define
the
impact
that
we
can
in
our
community
and
Community,
we
needed
to
Define
that
first
and
then
start
communicating
that.
So
we
also
you
know
let
that
address
that.
So
that's
that's
a
little
bit
of
background.
What
I
wanted
to
give
to
you
about
why
I
highlighted
those
four
in
particular
and
then
kind
of,
as
you
mentioned,
Nikki
and
Hansen
expand
physical
presence.
B
B
You
know
this
is
directly
what
we
heard
from
the
community
in
so
many
ways
that
enhancing
and
expanding
the
locations
that
we
have
and
more
locations
is
key
to
us,
our
universe
and
then
I'm
sure
it
makes
sense
I'm
sure
to
all
of
you
that
investment,
employee
experience
is
so
important
with
so
many
changes
in
the
world
and
then
just
we've
got
such
an
incredible
Workforce
such
incredible
staff
we'll
make
sure
they
have
everything
they
need
to
be
able
to
participate
internally.
B
The
slide
that
had
the
the
three,
the
I
think
the
piece
that
I
just
want
to
highlight
before
we
have
the
discussion
is
there
is
the
work
that
we're
doing
internally,
that
sort
of
keeps
going
on
the
objectives
like
okay
in
those
goals
like
whether
actually
what
happens
year,
one
would
have
Bruce
got
that
so
we're
doing
that
work
also,
but
didn't
want.
D
D
B
I
think
this
all
looks
really
good.
I
did
have
a
question
like
where
and
how
is
the
board
involved
in
the
plan?
Is
this
what
you
see
going
forward
as
sometimes
creative
that
you
just
submitted
to
us
at
a
meeting
or.
B
Already
and
then
we
see
it
and
I
do
like
these
and
I
think
they
look
great,
but
I
don't
want
it
to
get
presented
at
the
end.
After
all,
the
work's
been
done
and
then
have
major
things.
We
don't
agree
with
or
not
that
that's
likely
to
happen,
but
I
guess
I'm
wondering.
Is
there
room
for
a
little
more
board
involvement
in
the
process
of
putting
this
together
or
is
that
something
because
I
think
with
the
first
piece
we
had?
You
had
the
Strategic
committee
and
we
had
a
board
referral
hand.
F
A
B
I
agree:
I
think
it
would
be
worth
a
work
session
or
an
opportunity
where
we
could
spend
more
time,
particularly
as
you
get
into
the
objectives
component
and
thinking
more
about
what
does
this
look
like
in
practice
and
how
is
that
going
to
be
communicated
rolled
out
if
nothing
else
from
us
being
able
to
share
sector
perspective
from
different
Arenas
and
making
sure
that
we
all
have
a
clear
understanding
as
we're
communicating
and
thinking
about
your
plan
as
well
and
you're
right?
B
We
don't
want
to
so
I
real
anybody
to
be
like
I,
don't
know
if
that's
the
the
right
goal
or
objective
in
their,
not
that
I
think
they
would
too
much
I.
Think
our
objective
is
to
listen
to
you
all,
but
also
be
able
to
offer
whatever
perspectives
and
just
outside
expertise.
We
might
wow,
however,
that
might
look.
Yeah,
I
almost
think
one
or
two
work
sessions
that
just
focus
on
the
Strategic
plan
and
where
you
are
would
be
a
good
way
to
do
it.
A
B
A
B
Really
have
a
longer
discussion
think
in
more
detail
about
you
know
in
more
detail
like
you're
doing,
but
just
like,
maybe
a
little
more
detail
and
a
little
more
time
for
input
things.
Is
that
how
you
would
see
it
yeah.
A
B
For
objectives
where
you're
thinking
that
area
of
focus
may
be
just
to
be
able
to
have
conversation
at
Greater,
Life
yeah,
that's
about
the
lines
of
what
how
I
would
see
it
and
they
don't
have
to
be
very
long.
They
usually
work
sessions,
maybe
or
maybe
just
to
be
able
to
have
discussion
with
a
couple
of
the
key
leaders
that
are
working
on
that's
kind
of
cool.
A
F
I
think
one
thing
that
could
be
valuable
in
a
work
session
is
trying
to
understand
what
the
Ford's
role
is
in
those
different
aspects,
and
so,
like
a
lot
of
times,
you
know
if
I'm
presenting
to
a
bbp
board
member,
for
example,
and
I
say
you
know,
one
of
our
goals
is
invest
in
employee
experience.
But
what
does
that
mean
for
the
board?
And
what
is
the
word
responsibility
for
involvement
in
that
area,
and
so
I
guess?
F
Maybe
if
we
were,
as
the
council
liaison,
you
know,
looking
at
and
kind
of
as
a
somewhat
in
the
non-profit
sector.
Looking
at
what
a
work
session
would
look
like.
I
think
that
that
might
be
really
interesting
is
to
see
like
what
is
the
board's
role
and
responsibility
and
shared
understanding
of
what
this
actually
means.
B
Yeah
I
can
appreciate
that
again.
I,
don't
think
our
aim
is
to
change
direction
or
force
or
take
away
from
the
expertise
of
the
staff
leadership
of
the
library
merely
just
a
feel
involved
in
the
offer,
perspectives
and
understanding.
F
B
Something
else,
one
additional
thought
and
I
believe
it
is
just
a
thought
for
my
public
health
brain.
Forgive
me
because
you
all
know
I'm
in
the
middle
of
my
assessment
industry,
industry
level,
assessment
in
the
community
right
now
when
we
get
to
the
goal
level-
and
maybe
you
would
do
this
more
at
the
objective.
B
Consider
measures,
and
even
potentially
looking
at
making
smart
goals
in
terms
of
thinking
about,
especially
since
we're
looking
at
measuring
value.
The
Strategic
plan
is
a
great
place
to
start
with
that,
in
terms
of
thinking
about
enhancing
and
expanding
physical
presence,
what
specific
components
of
that
using
a
smart
or
smart
email
with
inclusive
the
added
smarty
smarty
goals?
Can
we
have
to
have
those.
B
The
goal
is
kind
of
a
higher
level
umbrella
for
you,
and
you
can
do
that
under
the
objectives,
but
I
think
having
some
measurable
components
for
that.
Even
if
they're
three
to
five
year
or
longer
would
be
really
helpful
for
us
so
that
we
can
talk
to
speak
to
the
progress
in
it.
When
you
know
that
it's
achieved
what
success
is
going
to
look
like
under
some
of
these
areas
and
I
like
the
collaborate
with
Community
organizations
and
from
my
perspective,
I.
B
B
We
value
the
library
as
a
place
for
nonprofits
and
other
organizations
to
be
able
to
share
and
promote
their
services
with
the
patrons
of
the
library
as
well,
and
so
I
think
reflecting
that
under
that
goal
will
be
important
in
terms
of
both
how
you're
collaborating
to
promote
awareness
of
the
resources
and
services
that
the
library
provides,
but
also
being
a
convener
and
a
resource
for
sharing
other
community
organizations.
Information
to
the
folks
that
are
coming
through
here
as
well.
B
B
Facing
implementation
process
document,
which
would
outline
objectives,
actions
of
timelines
for
Foy,
23
and
24
and
with
your
feedback,
those
are
our
next
steps
in
mind.
B
Can
you
remind
me,
Heidi,
with
the
kind
of
General
timing
sense
of
for
these
two
components
that
you
have
here
we're
hoping
to
have
something
ready
for
the
summer,
so
we're
really
trying
to
I
think
that's
part
of
it
is
we've
gotten
feedback
and
talking
to
different
stakeholders
that
we
got
so
much
input.
They
just
really
wanted
us
to
start
doing
the
work
and
show
back
I
think
maybe
that's
where
we
got
a
little
bit
of.
B
Go
and
so
I
think
that
will
be
part
of
it
is,
is
determining
you
know
how
how
soon
we
can
get
those
work
sessions
scheduled
that
sort
of
thing-
and
you
know
we'll
we'll,
keep
working
on
it
while
taking
additional
input
and
to
make
sure
that
when
we
bring
those
two
different
approval,
it's
something
that
ready
for.
B
B
From
the
City
Department
of
Finance
and
administration
he's
our
project
manager
to
go
through
the
2024
budget
process
with
us
love.
Thank.
D
You
very
much
good
afternoon,
it's
my
pleasure
to
be
here.
We
have
some
something
of
a
brief
presentation
today,
based
on
where
we
are
in
the
budget
process,
but
let
me
just
kind
of
first
provide
an
overview
of
what
the
budget
process
you.
D
To
figure
lots
of
discussion
about
this
over
the
sewing
months,
what
we
try
and
accomplish
really
what
we
try
and
do
is
ensure
funding
for
the
next
fiscal
year.
It's
allocated
by
the
city
council
alliance
with
the
current
values
and
priorities
when
we
do
when
we
do
go
through
the
annual
budget
process,
we're
not
resetting
the
entire
budget
for
the
entire
organization
and
in
reality,
the
majority
of
the
expenditure
budget
is
dedicated
towards
ongoing
expenses,
primarily
people.
D
Take
an
incremental
budget
approach
whereby
we
we
look
at
what
was
approved
in
the
prior
year.
We
eliminate
any
items
that
were
funded
only
on
a
one-time
basis
and
then
we
make
changes
to
to
that
as
necessary
when
we
go
through
the
budget
process.
Obviously
we're
looking
to
ensure
that
we
have
sufficient
funds
available
to
support
all
planned
and
ongoing
costs
we
adjust
for
the
cost
of
revised
or
just
for
the
revised
cost
of
ongoing
Services,
whether
equal
utilities
fuel.
You
know
everything
that
would
Encompass
what
we
do.
D
We
adjust
our
revenues
to
reflect,
anticipated
changes
and
I'll
speak
briefly
to
that
on
the
subsequent
site
and
then
really
seek
to
resolve
the
differences
between
anticipated
revenues
and
expenditures.
So
if
we
have
more
revenue
and
figure
out
how
to
allocate
it,
if
we
have
more
expenses
to
figure
out
where
we
can
kind
of
Meet,
the
revenue.
D
So,
as
I
mentioned,
you
know
we
are
quite
early
in.
D
Development
process
last
year,
I
think
I
came
and
spoke
to
the
board
in
April,
and
you
know,
given
another
month,
we
might
have
a
little
bit
more
information
to
share
the
general
fund
forecast,
which
is
really
the
basis.
For
you
know,
making
decisions
as
part
of
the
budget
process
is
still
under
development.
There
are
numerous
decisions
yet
to
be
made,
and
some
of
those
are
highlighted
here.
You.
E
D
Whether
to
take
the
full
three
percent-
that's
allowable
under
State
Statute,
or
something
less
decisions
around
fees
of
charges,
you
know
changes
to
the
fees
that
we
assess
resource
changes,
whether
it
be
the
addition
of
new
positions,
augmented
service
lines,
things
of
that
nature.
D
Compensation
decisions
still
have
yet
to
be
made
which
accountable
projects
are
going
to
move
forward
and
then
any
response
that
we
might
have
to
legislative
impacts
to
our
budget
as
well,
but
with
that
I
can
provide
kind
of
an
overview
of
how
the
city
of
Boise's
budget
is
constructed,
with
maybe
some
specific
call
outs
to
the
library
and,
on
behalf
of
the
stand
for
any
questions
through
this,
so
the
slides
that
you'll
be
seeing
are
based
on
the
current
Year's
budget,
in
recognition
of
the
fact
that
all
those
things
I've
just
mentioned
haven't
been
yet
resolved,
and
you
can
see
on
this
slide
this.
D
The
current
fiscal
years
budget
when
adopted,
was
just
north
of
860
million
dollars.
D
You
can
see
how
that
was
allocated
general
fund,
Capital
funds,
Enterprise
fund
and
other
funds,
so
the
general
fund,
at
36
of
our
current
year
budget
really
accounts
for
ongoing
costs
associated
with
General
government
services,
so
fake
police,
fire,
Parks,
Library.
A
D
Of
that
nature
also
primarily
supported
by
taxes
for
the
library
that
would
Encompass
All
Staffing
as
well
as
any
other
day-to-day
operational
Capital
funds
covers
infrastructure
projects,
major
equipment
such
as
Vehicles
fire
trucks,
Courier
Vans
things
like
that
major
repairs
and
maintenance,
including
major
repairs
and
maintenance
at
the
library,
also
primarily
supported
by
taxes
and
in
some
instances,
developments.
It's
not
applicable
to
libraries,
but
that's
the
other
Revenue
stream
here
and
you
can
think
through.
D
Like
I
mentioned
major
repairs
at
the
main
library
or
past
projects
like
Bound,
Crossing,
Branch
Library
would
be
covered
under
Capital
funds.
Enterprise
funds
not
really
applicable
to
the
library,
but
that
would
be
operating
and
capital
costs
for
airport
Solid,
Waste
fund,
water,
renewal
fund
and
geothermal
fund.
Those
are
not
tax
supported.
Those
are
primarily
supported
from
user
fees
and
then
all
other
funds.
It's
kind
of
a
hodgepodge
make
up
about
10
of
our
budget,
including
Debt,
Service
housing,
Fleet
risk.
D
D
D
Some
of
the
other
categories
include
sales
tax
is
just
under
10,
departmental
revenue
and
I'll
speak
a
little
bit
to
that.
There
is
a
library
component
there
at
10.
If
you
highlighted
on
the
slide
I'll
just
you
know
Focus
just
briefly
here
on
property
tax,
because
it
is
such
a
large
component
of
our
revenues.
D
In
the
current
year
the
budgeted
Revenue
estimate
was
175.4
million
dollars
in
terms
of
year
over
year,
growth
there's
two
factors:
one
is
base
grows
to
support,
cost
increases
on
existing
services
and,
as
part
of
the
current
Year's
budget,
the
city
council
approved
the
2.45
degrees,
really
in
recognition
of
kind
of
multiple
things
that
we
have
to
keep
keep
going.
You
know
obviously
need
to
sustain
operations,
and
there
was
also
a
goal
there
to
provide
relief,
homeowners
feeling
the
pitch
of.
D
We
also
grew
by
one
percent
associated
with
new
construction.
Those
are
new
payers
paying
into
the
system
and,
typically
that
revenue
is
dedicated
towards
growth
related
services.
As
part
of
this
year's
budget,
the
council
also
approved
a
rebate
program
for
qualifying
homeowners.
That
was
something
that
I
think
the
city
was
very
excited
to
be
able
to
offer
and
wasn't
available
in
Prior
years.
D
This
was
the
first
year
we
were
actually
eligible
to
offer
that,
based
on
some
new
state
legislation,
we
didn't
include
any
use
of
Oregon
property
taxes,
in
other
words
trying
to
recoup
taxes
not
not
assessed
in
Prior
years.
D
You
might
recall
that
in
2021,
right
after
code
hit
us,
the
city
council
approved
the
zero
percent
increase
again
in
recognition
of
some
of
the
struggles
of
of
homeowners.
Lastly,
the
the
fiscal
year
23
property
tax
budget,
was
well
below
the
eight
percent
cap.
It
was
established
by
the
city,
council
or
another
city
by
the
state
legislature.
D
One
more
illustration:
around
property
taxes,
because
I
think
a
lot
of
people
have
shown
interest
on
this,
and
this
is
really
kind
of
the
burden
shift
and
speaks
to
a
lot
of
the
strategies
that
we've
employed
in
the
city
council
has
improved,
has
approved
around
property
taxes.
And
if
you
go
back,
you
know
20
years
there
was
approximately
an
equal
burden
shared
amongst
property
taxes
between
residential
and
looking
commercial
and
as
you.
D
What
you
can
see
here
is
that
you
know,
especially
since
the
Great
Recession
and
especially
since
2016,
when.
D
A
change
to
the
homeowner's
exemption
for
the
property
taxes
we've
seen
quite
a
diversion
so
where
we
were
approximately
50
50
or
20
years
ago,
now
we're
more
at
75
points
and
under
the
current
construct
we
can
expect
that
to
continue,
regardless
of
whether
the
city
takes
three
percent
on
a
sub
on
a
previous
slide.
I
did,
you
know,
speak
a
little
bit
to
departmental
revenues
in
the
current
fiscal
year
budget
that
makes
up
about
32
million
dollars
of
our
overall
general
fund
revenues.
D
Library
makes
up
about
one
percent
of
that
and
you
can
see
on
this
slide
here.
What
that
one
percent
is
comprised
of
approximately
64
is.
D
Very
small
portions
associated
with
replacement
library
cards
facility,
rentals
materials,
recovery.
D
This
slide
demonstrates
how
the
general
fund
budget
is
allocated
by
Department.
It's
part
of
the
current
fiscal
year
budget.
You
can
see
over
half
of
the
general
fund
resources
dedicated
towards
Public
Safety,
and
you
can
see
on
the
bottom
right
portion.
Library
makes
up
about
five
percent
of
the
general
fund
budget.
D
Just
a
couple
of
key
dates
and
I'd
be
happy
to
stand
for
any
questions.
We
are
gearing
up
towards
a
budget
workshops
in
the
month
of
May,
where
each
of
the
Departments
have
an
opportunity
to
come
and
present
to
the
city
council,
so
that
would
be
May
23rd.
The.
A
D
June
16th
we'll
have
our
our
overall
budget
Workshop
to
kind
of
go
over
decisions,
changes
that
might
be
incorporated
after
that
May
23rd
workshop
on
June,
28th
and
then
July
11th
would
be
a
couple
of
public,
that's
kind
of
an
overview
of
our
budget
kind
of
where
we
stand
right
now
against
the
early
stages.
But
we
thought
I'd
be
happy
to
try.
B
B
Will
start
and
obviously
this
making
this
something
familiar
to
you
and
it's
new
for.
B
Like
Tasha,
where
we
will
start
to
have
a
standard,
there'll
be
a
budget
overview
that
has
the
process
where
we're
in
it
and
we'll
put
in
some
of
the
city
priorities
and
sort
of
the
where
we
have
a
clear
forecast,
we'll
be
able
to
share
that
with
you,
and
it
shows
how
Library
parties
fit
into
that
and
we'll
just
have
it
in
every
month's
agenda
or
everyone's
package.
So
you'll
be
able
to
see
that
consistently
and
then
we'll
bring
new
materials.
B
And
then
you
know
you
look
at
the
budget
and
then
it'll
go
to
council
after
that,
so
they're
part
of
it
is
lining
up.
So
when
the
budget
office
has
stuff
but
we'll
you'll
start
to
see
more
of
a
detailed
timeline
that
I'll
be
sharing
in
the
packet
that
will
include
sort
of
Library
board
meetings
of
what
you're
going
to
get
those
meetings.
