Madam
mayor
members
of
the
council
good
morning
and
welcome
to
the
last
city
council
meeting
and
work
session
of
the
year.
This
is
a
strategic
planning
session,
so
we're
bringing
to
you
the
topics
either.
You've
asked
me
to
follow
up
on,
or
I
thought
you
might
be
interested
in,
so
we're
going
to
start
with
staff
introductions
of
some
new
staff
members
who
we
hope
you
interact
with
in
the
coming
months.
C
Then
we'll
talk
about
language
access,
then
we'll
do
the
clean
city
index
and
then
we'll
do
a
housing
update,
focused
on
the
projects
we
currently
have
underway
and
then
originally
in
our
planning,
we
anticipated
an
executive
session,
but
that
item
has
been
pulled
so
there's
a
little
more
time
in
case.
You
want
to
dive
deeper
into
any
of
these
topics,
and
so
with
that
I'll
ask
kate
nelson
to
come
up
and
introduce
herself.
D
Okay
well
good
morning,
it's
very
nice
to
be
in
front
of
you.
I
was
trying
to
think
of
a
few
things
that
you
might
not
know
about
my
history
work
history,
so
I
will
share
that.
After
graduate
school,
I
went
to
university
of
idaho
and
worked
in
special
education
before
switching
to
work
in
entrepreneurship,
which
included
supply,
chain
management,
international
sales
and
a
fantastic
array
of
opportunities
that
only
a
very
small
business
started
up
in
boise.
Idaho
can
provide
it
was
during
that
time.
D
I
began
volunteering
in
the
boise
community
and
was
really
drawn
to
focusing
my
efforts
in
the
non-profit
sector,
and
I
found
a
home
at
janus
for
just
about
10
years.
I
joined
them
in
early
2012,
where
I
worked
on
anti-poverty
efforts
that
included
microlending
child
care,
development,
entrepreneurship
and
youth
leadership.
D
D
So
that
is
one
of
my
primary
areas
of
focus
at
this
time,
specifically
the
external
applications
of
where
the
city
is
going
to
devote
funds
and,
in
addition
to
arpa
and
the
external
engagement,
the
other
piece
is
child
care,
where
I'm
I'm
charged
with
advancing
the
task
force
task
force's
recommendation,
examining
where
we
as
a
city
can
help
alleviate
some
of
the
burden
that
is
felt
by
the
child
care
crisis.
Here
in
boise,
we
know
exists
across
the
country
so
with
that
I'll
stand
for
any
questions
at
this
time.
D
D
F
Madam
mayor,
one
of
the
items
that
kate
did
not
mentioned
is
on
her
resume.
Is
I
met
kate
when
she
very
generously
joined
our
advisory
board
for
energize
our
neighborhoods
some
years
back?
So
that's
when
I
got
to
know
kate,
she
has
so
much
care
for
a
community,
so
many
amazing
connections
that
she
brings
to
our
city.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
taking
on
this
test.
Kate.
G
A
mirror,
maybe
not
kate,
I
was
just
going
to
say,
welcome
aboard
and
it's
really
great
to
have
someone
with
your
breadth
of
skills
in
this
position,
because
this
is
a
position
that
really
is
a
generalist
position
and
that
breadth,
I
think,
will
will
serve
you
and
the
city
really
well.
So
welcome.
Thank
you.
So
much
thanks.
H
Hello
good
morning,
everyone,
so
my
name
is
adon
galindo,
I'm
the
new
strategic,
real
estate
manager
for
the
city.
Prior
to
this
I
come
from
the
private
sector,
where
I
worked
at
albertsons
for
the
past
five
years,
working
on
corporate
and
real
estate
strategy,
and
basically
you
know,
facilitating
negotiating
and
executing
transactions
large
and
small.
For
them.
You
know
small,
as
thirty
thousand
dollars
for
a
you
know,
a
store
all
the
way
up
to
a
couple
billion
dollars
and
sell
these
backs.
H
Prior
to
that,
I
was
in
commercial
real
estate
as
a
broker
in
san
francisco.
Working
with
you
know,
companies
and
finding
office
representing
landlords,
and
you
know
helping
tenants
get
in
those
offices
and
investment
sales
and
prior
to
that,
I
was
doing
multi-family
so
on
the
property
level,
doing
leasing
and
then
rose
up
to
do
asset
management.
So
I
have
a
full.
H
I
H
G
B
A
H
J
Good
morning,
mayor
maclean
members
of
council
honor
to
officially
introduce
myself
today,
I'm
just
in
court
communications,
director
and
mayor's
press
secretary
move
to
the
area
in
1990.
Take
no
credit
for
this
smart
decision.
It
was
done
by
my
parents.
I
was
11.,
but
as
I
grew
up
going
to
middle
and
high
school
here
and
at
boise
state
university,
I
saw
how
thousands
of
people
were
learning
what
my
parents
had
learned
when
I
was
young.
That
boise
is
the
most
special
place
in
america,
we're
for
14
years
right
down
the
road
at
ktvb.
J
Sharing
this
community
stories
stories
that
I
thought
were
truly
making
a
difference.
Six
years
ago
I
took
a
job
opportunity
out
of
state
and
the
ozarks
and
all
the
ozarks
had
some
good
people
as
you
might
expect.
It
is
most
definitely
not
boise
idaho,
when
my
contract
was
up
three
pause
for
laughter.
Thank
you.
When
my
contract
was
up
three
years
ago,
I
received
opportunities
from
west
texas,
southern
illinois
and
eastern
washington,
which
are
also
very
much
not
boise,
idaho.
My
wife
and
I
realized
what
my
parents
did
decades
ago.
J
That
boise
is
the
best
place
on
the
planet,
to
live,
work
and
raise
a
family
that
it
truly
is
a
city
for
everyone.
We
moved
back
her
with
a
job
me
not
so
much.
I
eventually
found
one
worked
in
pr
for
three
years
and
when
I
saw
this
opportunity,
I
truly
considered
it
a
dream
job
and
even
though
I've
worked
here
two
months,
I
still
do
courtney
washburn
called
and
said
they
were
going
to
make
an
offer
on
this
position,
and
I
said
to
whom
she
said
after
some
silence.
Second,
guessing
yourself
to
me,.
J
In
my
brief
time
here,
I've
seen
a
true,
legitimate
and
genuine
passion
from
the
mayor
from
everyone
on
this
council
from
everyone
in
this
building
who
talks
the
talk
and
walks
the
walk,
they're
doing
the
work
that
they
want
to
make
the
city
even
more
a
city
for
everyone,
it's
an
honor
to
be
here.
Thank
you
so
much
and
I
stand
for
questions.
F
Madam
mayor,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
pinch
it
for
the
mayor
at
a
uli
event.
Several
weeks
ago
and
justin
sent
me
amazing
preparation.
I
was
very
pleased.
He
has
a
way
with
words
and
he
has
a
way
with
telling
our
story
in
a
way
that's
going
to
connect
with
audiences.
So
I
appreciate
your
work
so
far,
justin
and
I
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
you.
G
Welcome
justin
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
do
a
couple
of
things
in
in
terms
of
press
and
and
other
events,
and
I
just
would
encourage
you
to
reach
out
to
these
other
council
members
they're,
as
you
noted,
very
passionate,
very
skilled.
Everyone
has
a
particular
interest
and
I
think
we
can
do
a
good
job
representing
the
city.
Your
skills
are
are
clearly
going
to
be
helpful
in
that.
K
Madam
mayor
and
city
council
members
good
morning,
my
name
is
tiffany
brogi
mccree.
I
am
the
new
energizer
neighborhoods
program
manager,
just
like
justin's
sentiment.
I
came
to
boise
state
probably
about
11
years
ago,
and
graduated
got
a
position
back
in
southern
california,
where
I'm
from
and
decided
that
wasn't
the
place.
For
me,
I
was
in
public
relations
where
I
specialized
in
energy
land
use
and
local
government
moved
back
to
idaho,
where
I
have
been
the
communications
manager
for
public
works
at
the
city
of
nampa.
K
This
transition
has
been
seamless
and
I'm
super
grateful
for
this
opportunity,
and
over
these
past
few
weeks,
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
meet
with
several
neighborhood
associations
and
see
what
their
priorities
are
and
how
we
can
help
better
support
them
in
the
future.
So
thank
you.
I
will
stand
for
any
questions.
L
I
know
that
several
other
of
our
council
members
that
was
the
same
way
and
I
oftentimes
think
of
our
neighborhoods
and
our
neighborhood
association
associations
as
our
greatest
untapped
potential,
so
it's
exciting
to
have
somebody
in
a
role
that
can
really
bring
them
in
and
help
them
make
our
city
better
and
feel
like
they're
part
of
the
team
as
well.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
F
F
We
have
so
many
special
people
who
are
passionate
about
their
neighborhoods
throughout
the
city
and
I
think
it'll
be
great
to
have
your
skills
and
helping
them
turn.
Those
in
turn
that
passion
into
positive
action
on
behalf
of
their
neighborhoods
and
preserving
all
of
the
special
characteristics
of
the
place
where
they
live.
So
thank
you
so
much.
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you.
Thank
you,
madam.
G
Here
welcome
I'll
echo
what
the
others
have
said
about
the
importance
of
this
position
and
add
sort
of
an
echo
of
what
I
said
to
kate,
which
is
that
our
neighborhoods
are
really
varied.
They
need
someone
who
can
respond
to
all
kinds
of
different
issues
and
needs,
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you.
It
sounds
like
your
experience
will
serve
that
well.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
I
Vladimir,
thank
you
welcome
tiffany.
Thank
you
so
much
for
joining
us.
If
I
could
make
one
little
request
something
I've
learned
over
the
last
four
years
is
there
is
this
bifurcation
between
property
owners
and
renters,
at
least
from
some
of
the
folks
that
we've
heard
come
testify
here
before
us,
and
if
there's
anything
you
can
do
to
help
people
recognize
neighborhood
associations
recognize
that
renters
are
also
part
of
our
community
and
they
have
something
particular
to
offer.
I
C
The
city
as
every
employer
is
currently
doing
is
struggling
with
labor
shortages,
and
then
I
think
new
challenges
and
retention.
I
think
the
impact
of
covid
on
the
workforce
has
people
making
different
life
choices,
I'm
also
it's
highly
competitive.
So
in
some
cases,
even
when
we're
able
to
recruit
staff,
they
are
quickly
stolen
by
someone
else
who
appreciates
their
talents.
C
So
our
vacancy
rate
and
our
retention,
approaches
and
recruitment
approaches
are
fluctuating
in
order
to
stay
competitive
in
the
current
labor
market.
Also,
the
projects
are
becoming
more
complex
and
that's
intentional.
We
have
had
a
lot
of
discussions
and
I
have
heard
your
desire
to
do
what
we
often
refer
to
as
stacking
benefits.
C
So
if
we
want
each
project
to
be
our
best
project
where
we
need
to
ensure
or
at
least
consider
an
economic
development,
development
component,
a
transportation
aspect,
a
clean
energy
aspect
in
affordable
housing
stacking
those
projects
has
made
the
need
for
project
management
more
urgent
and
more
sophisticated
than
perhaps
some
of
the
city's
projects
in
the
past.
A
good
example
is
what
we'd
like
to
do
at
fire
station
5.
C
C
The
stability,
I
think
that
we
all
want
found
comfort
in
is
no
longer
part
of
the
equation,
particularly
as
we
move
to
provide
the
best
services
the
city
can
to
the
most
number
of
people,
and
with
that
I
just
want
to
do
a
overview
of
the
ibc
you
have
half
of.
It
is
a
request
for
ftes.
The
first
two
items
are
with
the
enterprise
funds.
M
Good
morning,
madam
mayor
members
of
the
council,
as
courtney
mentioned,
we
have
a
number
of
budgetary
adjustments
for
your
consideration
this
morning,
I'm
going
to
break
them
apart.
First
talk
about
the
general
fund
positions
and
we'll
go
into
excuse
me.
The
non-general
fund
positions
we'll
go
into
the
general
fund.
We
have
some
non-uh
personnel
related
changes,
and
then
we
have
our.
C
M
Thank
you
so
looking
at
position,
adjustments
in
other
funds,
apart
from
the
general
fund,
as
courtney
mentioned,
there
is
a
recommendation
in
the
airport
fund
for
project
management
support.
As
we
look
at
the
number
of
projects
being
added
and
that
the
airport
is
is
aiming
to
deliver
project
management
support
has
been
an
increasing
need.
You
could
look
at
parking
garages,
concourse
development
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
M
M
There
is
some
increasing
needs
out
there.
Those
positions
include
a
industrial
electrician,
a
project
manager,
two
wastewater
process,
analysts,
an
administrative
support,
comm
coordinator,
as
well
as
two
revenue
analysts
and
finally,
in
the
non-general
fund
section
we
have
a
recommendation
to
add
one
fleet
mechanic
to
the
department
of
finance
and
administration
that
mechanic
position
will
aid
the
department
in
keeping
up
with
proactive
maintenance
needs,
as
well
as
with
growth
within
the
organization.
G
Adamira
thanks
should
we
have
questions
as
we
go
along?
Should
we
wait
till
the
end?
I
don't
care
which
okay,
just
a
question
about
the
public
works
positions,
not
a
specific
one,
but
just
as
a
larger
ongoing
question.
So
obviously,
during
the
budget
process
this
year
we
approved,
I
think,
another,
seven
positions
in
public
works.
They
were
mostly
lower
level
as
I,
as
I
looked
them
up.
G
G
My
longer
term
question
is,
as
we
look
at
the
budget
next
year
and
look
at
the
vacancies
that
we've
had
first,
you
know
over
this
year
and
adding
all
these
new
ftes
will.
We
do
be
doing
some
kind
of
a
look
at
a
balancing
process
to
make
sure
that
we're
in
the
right
place
in
terms
of
the
number
of
staffing
and
and
the
amount
of
work-
and
I
know
that
may
be
hard
to
answer
because
we're
so
short
staffed
at
the
moment,
but
I'm
just
wondering
how
that's
going
to
work
next
year.
N
M
M
This
position
will
prov
both
provide
direct
support
to
those
community
members,
as
well
as
maybe
ease
a
burden
on
other
departments
across
the
organization
and
also
serve
as
a
single
point
of
contact
for
social
service
providers.
So
as
they're
interacting
with
with
the
library
and
ways
to
service
those
community,
members
will
have
one
one
point
of
contact.
F
Madam
mayor,
I
think,
since
we're
stopped
here
and
jessica
came
up,
I
had
some
questions.
This
is
the
first
I
have
heard
of
it
is
through
this
interim
budget
change.
So
I
would
love
to
know
a
little
bit
more
about
how
this,
because
this
is
a
fairly
big
departure
from
the
way
that
we've
provided
service
in
the
past.
So
I'm
kind
of
curious
like
what
is
the
chain
of
command?
How
will
this
person
interact
with
social
services?
O
O
Eric
alluded
to
it.
We
right
now
are
seeing
people
who
are
coming
to
us.
We
are
a
safe
trusted
institution
and
people
who
are
coming.
You
know
coming
daily
to
my
staff,
saying
I've
lost
my
job.
I
won't
be
able
to
make
rent
this
week.
Can
you
help
you
know
I've?
I
am
trying
to
apply
for
social
security.
Did
I
do
it
right?
You
know.
The
the
entry
into
social
services
is
often
new
and
scary
for
people
and
the
library
is
asked
on
a
daily
basis
to
help
people
navigate
social
services.
O
You
know
we
actually
looked
at
different
models
for
how
to
bring
this
resource
into
the
library
we
thought
about
adding
somebody.
You
know
the
bpd
has
a
mental
health
position
as
well.
You
know,
should
we
ask
one
of
those
staff
person
to
join
us?
We
thought
about
or
outsourcing
it
as
well,
but
to
the
point
of
we
need
to
make
sure
that
this
position
understands
the
role
of
the
library
and
understands
library
resources
and
can
work
with
our
staff
effectively.
That's
why
we
decided
that
it
really
made
sense.
O
F
Madam
mayor,
just
one
follow-up,
thank
you
so
much
for
that
context.
I
really
appreciate
it.
I
think
what
I
heard
was.
This
is
more
of
a
social
services
coordinator
than
because,
when
I
saw
a
mental
health
coordinator,
I
was
thinking.
Oh
my
gosh.
There
are
people
in
the
libraries
who
are
having
mental
health
crises
and
we
need
somebody
to
intervene.
Yes,
so
is
it
that
too.
O
It
is
that
too,
okay
and
and
quite
frankly,
it's
very
unsatisfying.
When
someone
walks
in
and
says
I
don't
have
a
reason
to
live.
Can
you
help
me
and
my
staff
our
option
right
now
is
to
hand
somebody
the
number
for
the
suicide
hotline
or
to
call
the
to
call
9-1-1.
That's
that's
not
meeting
people's
needs.
We
know
that
we
know
that
there's
a
model
that
exists
that
actually
can
help
train
our
staff
and
allows
people
to
set
up.
You
know
one-on-one
time
with
someone
who
can
really
help
them
enter
into
a
social
safety
net.
O
O
They
are
not
able
to
authenticate
their
email
because
they,
you
know
they're,
they
can't
their
phone's
been
turned
off
so
they're.
You
know
the
having
somebody
who
can
you
know
help
navigate
in
a
much
more
in-depth
way,
we'll
keep
those
crisises
that
early
prevention
will
really
help.
Make
sure
that
when
we
do
have
a
true
crisis,
we're
already
tapped
into
the
fabric
of
boise
that
can
help
those
people.
F
My
mirror,
that's
wonderful,
jessica.
I
think
that
librarians
are
superheroes
anyway,
it
sounds
like
you
found
a
way
to
add
another
superhero
to
your
squad
in
a
way
that
our
citizens
need.
So
I
really
appreciate
you
sharing
that
and
giving
us
that
context
and
sharing
with
us
what
the
need
is
much
appreciated.
P
Madam
mayor,
two
quick
questions,
and,
first
of
all,
I
I
highly
approve
of
this
position
and,
and
you
did
a
great
job
describing
how
important
it
is
and
and
how
it'll
serve
our
community.
Well,
this
first
one's
just
really
easy.
Will
this
position
be
centered
at
the
main
library
and
will
be
able
to
go
around
and
or
or
where
will
they
be
located.
O
Madam
mayor
councilmember
thompson,
we
anticipate
that
this
position
will
have
sort
of
a
landing
spot
at
the
downtown
location,
but
absolutely
will
travel,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
will
work
with
is
ask.
You
know
the
person
to
identify
a
a
good
schedule
for
that.
That's
predictable
because
we
are,
while
we
see
the
most
critical
need
at
the
downtown
location,
we're
absolutely
seeing
the
same
need
in
all
our
locations
as
well.
P
Thank
you
ma'am
mayor
one
last
question.
It
makes
total
sense
for
this
to
be
centered
within
the
the
library
system,
but
can
this
position
also
assist?
If
say,
someone
had
those
similar
comments
from
the
utility
billing
line
or
something
can
it
serve
a
greater
the
greater
city?
I
think
it
makes
sense
to
be
at
the
library-
that's
probably
90
95,
but
there
might
be
other
instances
where
the
individual
enters
city
hall
and
asks
a
receptionist
something
similar.
I
don't
know,
but
can
they
be
directed
to
that
individual
as
well.
O
Adam
councilmember
thompson:
I
love
that
idea.
I
think
part
of
what
we
great
is
having
this
position
sit
at
the
table
with
other
similar
city
departments
and
people
in
the
same
role
and
to
really
assess
how
do
we
make
sure
that
we
are
effective
for
for
everyone
and
that
you
know
one
city
you
come
in
and
if
you
are
in
crisis,
we
should
be
able
to
very
quickly
identify
how
someone
can
be
supported.
O
G
That's
a
great
suggestion
for
the
position
to
consider.
Thank
you
it.
It
sounds
from
this
conversation
like
there
is
general
support
for
this,
but
some
questions
about
how
it's
all
going
to
work.
I
wonder
if
we
approve
this
today
if
we
could
have
some
follow-up
and
a
discussion
about
that,
because
I
think
there
I
think
a
lot
of
us
are
really
excited
about
the
prospect.
M
The
next
proposed
adjustment
would
be
the
addition
of
a
management
assistant
within
the
human
resources
department.
The
goal
of
this
position
would
be
to
free
up
staff,
oftentimes
senior
level
staff
within
the
department
to
focus
on
both
the
day-to-day
operations
of
the
department,
as
well
as
strategic
leadership
issues.
One
of
the
things
that
the
department
has
been
encountering
recently
has
been,
you
know
the
extreme
level
of
vacancies
across
the
organization
we
were
looking
at
looking
at
this
this
morning,
currently
there's
approximately
160
plus
vacancies
across
the
organization.
M
I
M
I
C
Madam
mayor
council,
pro
tem,
we
are
doing
accident
reviews
and
expanded.
I
think
what
we
might
want
to
do
is
bring
you
back
the
whole
picture
of
vacancy
rates,
how
we're
recruit,
recruiting
what
the
retention
issues
are
and
what
we're
doing
to
address
those
if
you're
interested
in
a
full
picture,
so
you're
not
just
getting
pieces
of
it.
Yeah.
Q
Q
Yeah
and
let
me
just
chime
in
that,
just
as
an
awareness,
so
the
hr
department's,
the
only
department
that
doesn't
have
a
chief
administrative
officer
or
a
dedicated
admin,
so
there's
sort
of
no
one
to
turn
to
to
do
just
the
basic
stuff
and,
as
you
know,
we've
just
got
a
whole
lot
going
on.
So
asking
senior
managers
to
do
their
own
admin.
Just
is
not
a
good
use
of
time
or
money.
So
this
one
is
is
that's
why
we're
bringing
it
here
yeah.
F
I
was
very
excited
to
see
these
positions
being
promoted
to
full-time,
and
I
think
it
also
speaks
to
the
approach
that
arts
and
history
has
had
throughout
the
years
of
being
very
conscientious
with
the
resources
that
they
have
in
making
sure
that
they're
they
have
staff
doing
the
tasks
that
they
need
them
to
do.
But
this
really
reflects
that
they
need
more
time
to
do
those
things.
We
have
the
most
robust
arts,
culture
and
history
department
that
we've
ever
had.
F
G
It's
probably
been
understaffed
its
entire
life
and
we're
now
you
know
growing
up
as
you
as
you
do
and
recognize
the
need
to
step
up
the
game
in
in
these
and
other
places.
So
I
think
you
know,
as
I
look
at
these
overall,
that
sort
of
of
where
we
are.
We've
tried
really
hard
to
maintain
the
staffing
levels
that
we
had
as
a
smaller
city
and
we're
now
a
larger
city
and
we're
struggling
with
how
to
get
there.
So
look
forward
over
this
process
and
the
next
budget
year
to
really
digging
into
that.
I
I
I
think
departments
like
this
are
minimized
and
are
viewed
as
being
fluffy
and
fun
and
and
it
this
could
not
be
further
from
the
truth.
This
department
has
done
very
important,
vital,
cutting-edge
work
to
bring
forward
the
best
parts
of
our
community
and
to
bring
them
together
and
to
transform
us
as
an
organization.
So
terry,
under
your
leadership.
Thank
you
so
much
for
bringing
forward
dei
at
the
city
of
boise
through
arts
and
history.
M
Thank
you
very
much.
The
last
category
within
the
general
fund
of
position
adjustments
is
for
project
management,
as
courtney
prefaced
this.
This
discussion
with
this
recommendation
would
be
for
one
new
project
management
resource
within
the
public
works
department,
as
well
as
two
within
the
office
of
the
mayor
as
outlined
on
the
slide.
You
know
the
recommendation
here
allows
for
the
advancement
of
some
key
city-wide
strategic
initiatives.
M
In
particular,
they
will
help
support
complex
projects
that
span
multiple
departments.
In
evaluating
this.
This
this
request
the
addition
of
permanent
contra
or
permanent
project
management
support,
compares
favorably
to
contractors
as
part
of
the
fiscal
year
22
adopted
budget,
the
city
council
did
approve
some
one-time
resources
in
the
mayor's
office
for
project
management,
support
it's
very
difficult
in
this
environment
to
recruit
people
to
accept
temporary
positions
at
that
level.
M
So,
if
you
think
about
those
capital
project
areas
that
I
referenced
just
a
moment
ago,
many
of
those
already
have
allocations
in
place.
So
the
idea
is
that
these
positions
should
be
able
to
charge
off
a
portion
of
their
time
to
those
to
those
areas
as
well
as
potentially
to
arpa
projects
once
those
are
fully
identified.
F
F
F
What
are
our
needs
ongoing
for
permanent
project
managers?
Is
it
three?
I
don't
really
know
I
mean
I
haven't
seen.
We
have
some
kind
of
top
level
projects
that
they
could
take
on
we're
not
really
provided
with
a
lot
of
information
on
what
those
projects
will
be
and
if
we
need
three
project
managers
to
do
those.
F
So
this
is
the
piece
that
I'm
least
comfortable
with,
and
I
think
we
should
really
be
keeping
track
of
our
additions
of
full-time
staff
and
how
that
impacts,
our
city
budget
going
forward,
and
it's
something
I'm
really
going
to
be
looking
at
and
keeping
track
of,
and
because
these
are
you
know,
these
are
ongoing
expenses.
These
come
straight
out
of
our
bottom
line
straight
out
of
the
general
fund,
and
I
want
to
be
really
conscientious
of
that
of
that
going
forward.
M
Councilmember
one
thing
I
might
reference
in
relation
to
your
concern
is
that
we're
about
a
month
away
from
having
our
fiscal
year
23
through
27
general
fund
forecast,
which
we'll
be
bringing
forward
for
you,
know,
city
council,
review,
one
element
of
the
last
forecast
that
we
did
as
part
of
the
fiscal
year
22
budget
is
we.
We
had
included
a
an
assumption
that,
on
an
annual
basis,
there
would
be
a
need
for
additional
staff
across
the
organization
that
assumption
was
approximately
750
000
or
an
allowance
within
our
forecast.
M
M
So,
as
you
look
at
this
375
000,
I
think
a
portion
of
it
could
be
charged
off
to
existing
already
approved
budgetary
allocations.
Secondly,
that
750
000
allocation
may
need
to
be
reduced
going
into
the
fiscal
year,
23
build
as
a
result
of
this,
but
it.
But
I
think
that
we
did
allow
for
some
level
of
ongoing
resources
beyond
what
was
already
approved.
F
C
Is
it
project
management
we
need?
Is
it
prioritization?
We
need
like
what
is
it?
Do
we
need
to
solve
the
issue
of
execution?
So
we
don't
do
everything
all
the
time
slowing
the
portfolio
projects
down.
So
just
in
terms
of
background.
That's
that's
where
the
need
was
identified
from
the
departments
that
if
there
was
some
person
in
a
position
whose
day-to-day
was
just
moving
some
of
these
projects
forward,
particularly
when
they
involved
multiple
departments
that
that
that
was
a
need
identified
through
the
portfolio
management
tool.
I
just
offered
that
as
background
and.
F
The
mayor,
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
prioritization
was
part
of
that
conversation,
because
I
think
that
you
know
we
do
have
a
lot
going
on.
I
know
that
everyone's
being
pulled
from
multiple
directions
and
there's
no
way
to
get
everything
done
at
the
same
speed.
You
know
like
that's
just
the
reality
that
we
live
in,
so
I'm
glad
that
prioritization
was
a
piece
of
that
in
thinking
about
this
a
little
bit
further.
F
E
E
I
just
have
to
trust
that
these
are
the
right
things.
I
don't
have
enough
information,
I
don't
understand.
What's
going
on,
we
do
a
lot
of
business
by
interim
budget
change
and
I
rarely
feel
that
I
have
the
context
to
competently
make
the
decision,
and
so
then
I
just
trust
that
these
kinds
of
detailed
conversations
have
happened.
We
don't
have
time
to
really
explore
and
ask
and
learn
and
understand
each
item
and
it
makes
it
very
challenging-
and
I
feel
very
challenged
here
because
I'm
just
going
to
have
to
take
everybody's
word
for
it.
E
These
are
the
right
things
to
do.
I
have
not
been
given
an
opportunity
or
had
a
chance
to
really
understand,
what's
happening
here
and
they
are
big
changes,
especially
the
permanent
full-time
employees.
So
I
want
to
raise
that
because
we'd
said
a
couple
of
meetings
ago
that
I
had
ideas
for
how
we
can
work
better
as
a
mayor
and
councilman
city.
E
G
Vladimir,
you
know
it
it.
It's
not
surprising
to
me
that
that
two
years
into
a
new
administration
and
a
relatively
new
council
we're
bumping
into
some
things,
process-wise
that
we
just
haven't
run
into
before,
and
I
think
it's
incumbent
on
all
of
us
to
figure
out
the
process
forward
to
make
sure
that
everyone
feels
like
they're.
G
G
So
I
guess
I
would
suggest
that
we
and
I'm
suggesting
this
to
my
fellow
council
members
that,
given
the
information
we
have
been
given
today,
that
we
do
trust
that
this
is
something
that's
been
looked
into
pretty
heavily
by
the
staff.
And
yet
we
also
ask
that
if
we
approve
this
today,
we
get
a
presentation
on
the
11th
that
digs
into
some
of
those
questions
not
to
pull
that
approval
back,
but
to
offer
direction
on
how
it
will
go
forward.
G
I
think
I
think,
there's
a
basic
outline
here.
I
think
it's
strong,
I
think
I've
heard
some
discussion
today
that
offers
maybe
some
additional
suggestions
for
you
know
details
of
how
it
will
go
forward,
and
I
certainly
think
there's
opportunity
to
have
a
discussion
about
that
detail
and
so
that
everybody
feels
comfortable,
that
this
is
the
right
direction
and
then,
as
I
stated
earlier,
I
think
you
know
again
maturation,
process
of
a
smaller
city
becoming
a
bigger
city
and
figuring
out.
C
G
And
how
do
you
control
that
and
to
what
extent
do
you
control
that
I've
watched
over
the
years
as,
for
instance,
the
idaho
transportation
department
has
been
completely
handcuffed
by
the
legislature
in
terms
of
the
number
of
of
internal
ftes?
They
have
and
responding
to
that
by
hiring
any
number
of
contractors
externally,
which
over
time
really
wasn't
the
most
efficient
way
for
them
to
to
work
and
figuring
that
out.
After
the
fact,
I've
watched
another
department
higher
up
and
in
places
where
state
department
that
that
they
probably
could
have
been
done
contractors.
G
B
L
L
It
is
really
difficult,
and
sometimes
a
little
scary,
to
see
new
positions
that
you
don't
totally
understand
and
exactly
how
they're
gonna
work,
and
there
is
a
certain
amount
of
trust
that
has
to
go
into
making
those
and
as
someone
who
runs
an
organization
who
knows
every
single
tiny
thing,
that's
going
on.
Sometimes
there's
the
same
desire
to
want
that
when
I
see
positions
coming
forward,
but
I
also
know
that
that's
impossible,
and
I
know
that
we're
in
a
time
right
now
where
things
are
changing
quickly.
L
I
feel
comfortable
with
these
positions,
because
I
do
believe
that
investing
in
these
positions
are
investments
in
the
city
as
a
whole
and
as
the
team
as
a
whole
and
hopefully
helping
us
address
the
other
vacancies
that
exist
and
preventing
more
from
happening.
So
I
agree
that
more
conversations
need
to
be
had.
I
especially
am
looking
forward
to
a
conversation
about
that
mental
health
coordinator,
because
I'm
not
convinced
that
there
shouldn't
be
two
more
positions
similar
at
other
branches
of
the
library
in
the
future.
E
Madam
mayor,
if
I
can
maybe
clarify
what
I
said
a
moment
ago,
you
know
the
concern
is
not
that
that
I
that
I'm
worried
about
problems
here
and
therefore
want
to
jam
this
up.
I'm
very
aware
of
the
year-end
pressures
that
we're
under
I'm
very
aware,
as
I've
tried
my
best
to
dig
into
these,
why
we're
doing
them
and
they
make
sense
the
opposite.
It's
just
a
broader
observation
that
this
type
of
process
puts
me
in
a
bind.
I
appreciate
the
council
president's
proposed
solution
with
a
follow-up
meeting.
E
That'll
be
very
helpful
to
me.
That's
not
the
way
we
can
do
business
as
a
matter
of
course.
That
is
asking
us
to
vote
and
then
telling
us
why
we
voted
later.
It's
not
the
right
way
to
do
it
so
in
this
instance
good.
Yes,
I
like
it,
but
I
just
I'm
going
to
need
more
context
and
more
help
so
that
I
can
understand
these
types
of
big
changes
properly,
as
we
continue
to
do
business.
P
P
We're
we've
grown
up
tremendously
in
the
last
12
years
and
I
just
say
12,
because
it's
how
long
I've
focused
heavily
on
the
city
of
boise,
but
it's
nowhere
comparable
to
where
it
was
when
I
began,
and
I
think
that
having
positions
that
can
really
hone
in
on
the
amount
of
work
that
needs
to
be
done
is
is
an
increasingly
important
need,
and
so
I
I
do
see
the
need
for
these
positions
when
I
speak
to
it.
In
that
context,
thank
you.
I
I
So
I
am
fully
in
support
of
these
changes
and
I
agree
with
councilman
halliburton.
I
think
if
we
don't
provide
the
support
for
our
current
staff,
we
are
going
to
see
more
people
leaving
they
are
over
taxed,
so
much
is
expected
of
them.
I
the
discussion
of
the
mental
health
coordinator.
What
did
we
do?
It's
like
we
swarmed
like?
Can
this
person
go
there?
Can
we
have
them
deal
with
this?
I
mean
to
me:
that's
that's
a
perfect
example.
It's
like
these
are
things
that
we
need.
These
are
people
that
we
need.
I
We
absolutely
should
be
asking
questions
about
what
they're
going
to
be
bringing
to
the
organization.
But,
overall,
when
I
look
at
this,
I
see
us
trying
to
do
our
work
better
and
providing
the
support
that
the
our
current
staff
needs
to
keep
pace
with
our
growing
city.
So
I
am
in
support
of
these
changes.
I
M
Sure
sure
I
will
I
will
go
quickly.
I
just
had
two
more
adjustments
that
were
included
in
the
in
the
packet.
One
was
a
technical
adjustment
for
the
way
that
we
account
for
our
police
tasers,
there's
no
cost
impact
associated
with
that.
It's
moving
it
from
our
capital
budget
to
our
operating
budget.
The
other.
The
other
item
before
going
into
end
of
year,
was
a
geothermal
project
for
upgrades
at
ninth
and
bannock,
utilizing
250
000
from
the
operating
contingency,
which
was
a
subset
of
that
portfolio.
F
F
G
A
G
A
F
G
E
B
E
E
C
Eric
madam
mayor,
if
I
could
just
ask
council
members,
if
you
want
to
send
me
those
questions,
and
you
can
help
me
not
guess
what
the
follow-up
is
so
like
any
topics
that
you
want
me
to
bring
to
you
on,
the
11th
would
be
helpful.
If
you
could
just
let
me
know
so
I
so
I
know
what
what
we're
looking
for
to
make
the
11
successful.
I
would
appreciate
it
and
now,
madam
mayor,
we
have
a
follow-up
on
language
access.
C
This
is
based
on
the
language
access
policy
you
adopted
in
february
2021,
and
what
we're
looking
for
today
is
for
you
to
affirm
the
next
steps
based
off
the
recommendations
of
staff
that
were
informed
by
a
consultant
that
helped
us
through
this
process.
So
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
crm
manager.
R
Madam
mayor
and
council
members
good
morning,
that's
the
first
time.
I've
ever
said
that
so
I
feel
really
cool
right
now.
My
name
is
sierra
garciana.
I
am
the
city's
community
accessibility
manager
and
ce
prior
to
joining
the
ce
team.
I
oversaw
the
city's
language
access
program
down
in
hr
today,
lana
and
I
will
be
giving
an
update
regarding
the
program's
history,
what
we've
learned
and
where
we
would
like
to
take
next
steps.
R
In
previous
years,
language
access
at
the
city
was
considered
more
of
a
legal
necessity
and
had
minimal
organizational
support.
However,
in
looking
ahead,
this
organization
recognizes
the
need
to
align
language
access
as
part
of
being
a
city
for
everyone
where
all
members
of
our
community
resources
have
equitable
access
to
resources
and
information.
R
So
before
diving
in
to
our
current
works,
I'd
like
to
share
some
background
of
our
journey.
So
far
before
our
roles
were
created.
Language
access
resources
were
sparse
for
staff
staff.
Awareness
of
our
base,
legal
obligations
to
provide
interpretation
was
mostly
unknown,
and
services
were
not
proactively
provided
in
early
2018.
R
The
title
vi
position
was
created,
for
which
I
was
hired.
A
little
back
story
on
that
title
vi
is
the
title
vi
of
the
civil
rights
act
of
1964,
which
speaks
to
removing
barriers
that
prevent
minority,
low-income
or
limited
english,
proficient
individuals
from
participating
in
city
services
and
activities
so
part
of
that
role.
I
was
also
combined
as
the
ada
coordinator,
as
well
as
an
employee
relations
specialist
role,
so
I
function
as
all
three
which
kind
of
hints
back
at
the
legal
obligation
to
things
in
2019.
R
R
R
R
As
you
might
have
guessed,
or
even
seen,
services
are
currently
being
provided
at
varying
degrees
across
the
organization
resulting
in
fragmented
processes
and
different
experiences
across
the
city,
depending
on
the
department
building
upon
what
I
was
able
to
accomplish.
We
have
an
opportunity
to
shift
to
a
more
meaningful
approach
that
is
connected
and
consistent
citywide
to
capitalize
on
this
opportunity.
A
budget
priority
was
set
in
fy
21
to
explore
building
a
formalized
language
access
program.
R
The
acsi
team
reviewed
my
existing
work,
which
included
language
access
plans,
staff
surveys
and
initial
work
regarding
translation
of
vital
documents.
They
also
collected
data
on
who
makes
up
our
boise
conducted
multiple
interviews
and
facilitated
a
focus
group.
Their
work
culminated
in
a
final
report
delivered
to
the
city
in
october.
R
R
A
piece
of
data
from
the
acsi's
final
report
indicated
that
6.4
percent
of
boise's
population
is
foreign
born.
The
largest
shares
of
boise's
foreign-born
population
from
a
single
country
were
born
in
mexico,
china,
iraq,
india,
germany,
canada,
philippines,
laos,
eastern
african
countries
and
vietnam.
R
Taking
a
look
into
the
languages
spoken
by
our
foreign-born
population
of
the
10.1
percent
of
our
community,
who
speak
a
language
other
than
english
at
home,
6.6
speak
english
very
well.
While
3.4
speak
english,
less
than
very
well
of
the
7
305
limited
english-speaking
people,
42
speak
spanish
and
58
speak
other
languages.
R
S
So
that's
one
of
the
reasons
we
one
of
the
main
reasons
we
went
with
acsi
and
as
sierra
shared
they
did
do
interviews
conducted
which
showed
us
that
we're
at
the
ad
hoc
level-
and
that
means
that
we
do
offer
language
access
services,
but
really
on
requests.
So
that
could
mean
anything
from
somebody
requesting
language
access
at
a
department,
but
their
experience
could
be
very
different.
S
How
and
what
we
translate,
including
signage,
we'll
some
pretty
quick
things
we
can
do
is
have.
I
speak
cards
for
folks
who
are
coming
into
our
different
facilities
to
be
able
to
quickly
identify
the
language
that
you
know
they.
They
prefer
to
speak
in
and
we
can
serve
them
in
and
we'll
update,
website,
content
and
documents
and
ensure
that
each
is
done
with
cultural
competence.
S
We
will
coordinate
on
technical
assistance
to
establish
key
roles
in
departments
for
centralized
coordination,
so
this
means
that
we'll
work
with
each
department
to
identify
dedicated
language
access
coordinator.
So
this
will
take
the
work
of
the
language
access
manager
where
the
work
will
be
centralized
and
really
have
tentacles
throughout
the
organization.
S
For
example,
if
on-camera
video
conferencing
proves
to
be
helpful,
but
that's
a
tool
we'll
explore
as
well
and
then
ongoing
compliance
and
cultural
competence,
training
will
incorporate
language
access,
training
into
new
higher
orientation
and
ensure
frontline
staff
receive
cultural
competence
training.
This
is
something
we
are
hoping
to
do
in
partnership
with
hr.
We
know
that
this
isn't
something
that
can
just
live
within
one
person
in
the
language,
access
manager
that
really
needs
to
permeate
throughout
the
organization
and,
to
that
end
we'll
look
to
hire
and
retain
bilingual
staff.
S
I
Mayor,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
lana,
so
that
part
about
the
hiring
and
retaining
bilingual
staff.
I
know
there
are
some
states
that
pay
a
pay
differential
for
folks
who
have
that
ability.
I
don't
think
we
do
that
in
idaho,
but
is
there
going
to
be
an
attempt
to
to
to
perhaps
offer
that
as
part
of
this,
I
know
that
you
know
being
a
bilingual
person
myself.
I
I
remember
when
I
was
the
only
bilingual
civil
rights
investigator
for
the
human
rights
commission
and
I
was
paid
a
whopping
10
cents
extra,
for
that
you
know,
could
finally
buy
that
gallon
of
milk.
I
had
my
eye
on
so
it's
just
not
something
that's
appreciated
in
terms
of
salary
from
what
I've
experienced
in
idaho.
So
I'm
just
wondering
if
that'll
be
part
of
the
conversation
as
well.
S
S
Make
sure
I
know
where
I'm
at
oh
there
we
go
okay,
so
next
we'll
provide
on-call
and
interpretation
services
that
already
exists,
but
really
strengthening
that
practice
and
ensuring
that
that's
that's
information
that
is
available
across
the
city
that
those
services
are
available
and
then
translate
and
share
out
vital
documents.
So
we
really
worked
closely
with
acsi
to
help
us
determine
how
do
we
and
what
do
we
consider
to
be
vital
documents
and
really
landed
on
using
the
four
factor
analysis
so
determining
the
number
of
limited
english
proficient
residents?
I
Just
another
question
you
know:
lana,
we
were
just
having
a
conversation
me
and
bilingual
spanish-speaking
friends.
One
of
my
other
hats
that
I
wear
is:
I
do
voice
over
work
for
local
production
companies
and
sometimes
when
we
get
scripts,
it's
very
clear
that
they
have
hired
somebody
to
translate
a
document,
and
it's
not
the
type
of
spanish
that
folks
from
the
mexican
community
would
speak,
and
since
your
data
has
shown
that
a
good
number
of
our
folks
who
are
not
from
the
us,
a
large
number
of
them
come
from
mexico.
I
S
Madam
mayor
council,
member
sanchez-
yes
absolutely,
and
I
think
that
that's
been
proven
to
be
a
successful
model
as
well.
As
I
mentioned,
we've
been
working
with
our
resettlement
agencies
on
getting
covet
information
translated,
there's
some
words
that
just
don't
exist
in
some
languages.
So
working
really
closely
with
native
speakers
to
ensure
that
we're
providing
information
in
the
way-
and
that
makes
sense
in
their
languages
is
really.
I
Important
lana
one
one
other
thing
I
might
add,
and
I
don't
know
if
that's
going
to
be
part
of
the
the
information
that
the
agency
provided,
but
I'm
also
wondering
the
education
level
of
folks
because,
as
we
know,
there
are
highly
technical
words
that
are
involved
in
some
of
these
documents
that
are
just
they
might
as
well
be
in
a
completely
other
language.
Just
because
the
level
of
reading
is
different.
So
I'm
wondering,
if
that'll
be
a
part
of
this
as
well.
S
And
I
think
yes,
madam
mayor
councilmember
sanchez,
yes,
that
will
be
a
part
of
it.
I
think
the
other
consideration
here-
and
I
can
talk
about
this
for
a
long
time.
So
thank
you
for
asking
these
questions
is
how
we
deliver
the
information
right.
We
know
that
in
some
of
our
community
groups
they
use
whatsapp
and
translating
something
into
a
physical
document,
isn't
going
to
have
the
same
impact,
and
is
it
going
to
be
able
to
be
received
the
same
way?
So
those
are
all
things
that
we're
going
to
be
looking
into.
S
And
then
the
last
consideration
or
q
recommendation
excuse
me
is
community
outreach
and
engagement,
and
I
think
this
is
what
we've
been
talking
to
is.
We
can
have
all
these
really
great
resources,
but
if
our
community
doesn't
know
about
them,
that's
we're
doing
ourselves
in
the
residence
a
disservice.
So
we're
going
to
be
placing
a
lot
of
effort
into
engaging
the
community
and
outreach
and
education
to
ensure
that
the
residents
who
would
benefit
from
language
access
services,
note
that
they're
available
know
how
to
find
them
and
access
them.
S
S
S
So
more
condensed
version
for
next
steps
is
we'll
hire
language
access,
manager,
recruitment
is
already
underway
and
we
hope
to
onboard
somebody
in
early
2022,
knowing
that
spanish
is
the
top
language.
Our
goal
and
intention
is
to
hire
a
native
spanish
speaker
for
both
the
language
and
the
cultural
competence
that
we've
discussed
mayor
and
council.
You
will
receive
a
mid-year
update
from
the
language,
access
manager
on
progress
and
recommendations
for
next
steps
and
that'll.
Be
it
madam.
I
S
G
Thanks
thanks
for
the
presentation,
one
of
the
things
I
didn't
hear
and
you're
probably
working
on
it,
you
just
didn't
add
it
to
this-
is
how
we're
working
with
partner
agencies
that
also
work
with
many
of
these
folks
with
with
different
language
barriers.
Just
so
that,
to
the
extent
we
can
we're
coordinating
making
it.
A
S
Sure
so
we
they
were
included
in
the
interviews,
surveys
and
focus
groups
to
make
sure
that
a
we
got
that
the
consultants
had
a
very
clear
understanding
of
the
work
that
they
do
with
the
residents
that
they
serve.
Who
are
non-native
english
speakers
and
we
included
non-native
english
speakers
in
those
processes
as
well
and
then
in
the
community
partnerships
position.
That
role
is
really
focused
also
on
building
those
relationships
and
in
my
role
I
work
really
closely
with
some
of
the
community
members
and
resettlement
agencies.
So
there's
that
two-way
communication.
F
C
It
is,
I
think,
human
tendency
when
we
present
data
to
request
more
data,
and
I
urge
you
to
think
about
the
use
of
the
data
we
currently
have
before
we
acquire
more.
It's
really
exciting.
I
think
it
allows
for
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
do
target
and
investments
in
parts
of
the
city
who
could
really
use
the
support
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
steve.

An
important
decision
in
the
process
was
determining
the
appropriate
geographic
scale
for
the
index
matching
the
prior
work
in
the
community
development
analysis.
The
example
is
reviewed
from
other
cities
and
the
scale
of
available
data.
We
found
that
data
at
the
census
tract
level
to
be
the
most
appropriate
for
reference.
Boise
has
a
total
of
49,
full
or
partial
census,
tracts
that
cover
the
city.
T
T
T
T
T
The
identification
of
priority
areas
in
the
index
provides
an
opportunity
to
integrate
additional
considerations
around
environmental
justice,
health
and
equity
into
city
project
and
resource
prioritization.
The
index
provides
additional
data
and
a
supplemental
tool
to
support
decision
making.
It
has
the
potential
to
help
prioritize
our
community
climate
action
work,
but
also
to
be
incorporated
into
a
broader
range
of
decision
making
processes
for
other
city
programs.
T
T
And
then
for
the
last
slide,
I
just
wanted
to
close
here
with
some
examples
of
how
this
might
impact
implementation
of
particular
programs.
So
the
first
one
I'll
mention
is
the
city
of
trees,
challenge
and
with
that
program,
they've
already
had
an
opportunity
to
use
the
clean
city
index
and
that
specifically
was
used
to
identify
areas
of
the
city
that
lack
tree
canopy
for
the
planting
prioritization.
T
That
was
done
in
the
borah
and
liberty
park
neighborhoods
for
climate
action.
The
index
identifies
areas
where
household
energy
burden
is
high,
so
this
provides
an
opportunity
potentially
to
target
our
energy
efficiency
program,
work
either
independent
by
the
city
or
in
partnership
with
our
utilities
to
those
areas
and
help
reduce
that
cost
burden
for
those
residents
that
need
it,
the
most
and
last
but
not
least,
utility
affordability.
E
Madame
go
ahead,
a
couple
of
questions
steve
first,
this
is
a
great
tool
and
I
can't
imagine
anything
other
than
it
was
a
tremendous
amount
of
work.
So
thank
you.
You
know
kind
of
at
a
high
level.
The
purpose
of
this
kind
of
tool,
among
other
purposes,
is
to
identify
and
capture
negative
externalities
right,
like
we
have
a
city
design
that
has
caused
an
economic
inefficiency
such
that
people
over
here
have
lower
incomes,
or
we
have
traffic
designs
such
that
people
over
here
suffer
more
in
inversions,
et
cetera,
et
cetera,
et
cetera.
E
I'm
just
throwing
this
out
there
in
the
implementation
phase
as
you're
working
into
that.
I
would
love
to
be
able
to
consider
this
as
a
factor
in
land
use
planning
decisions.
Many
of
the
many
of
the
things
that
you've
identified
go
to
the
things
that
lupa
asked
us
to
look
at
or
that
blueprint
boise
asks
us
to
look
at,
but
to
the
extent,
this
is
an
objective
quantifiable
way
to
measure
some
of
those
externalities.
A
E
T
Madam
mayor
council,
member
beijing
really
appreciate
that
feedback.
I
think
we've
really
just
started
to
scratch
the
surface,
potentially
as
how
we
could
use
that,
and
we've
been
working
internally
over
the
last
couple
months
to
connect
the
work
that
we've
done
with
other
departments
across
the
city.
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
align
it
with
other
work,
maybe
specific
to
planning
and
development
services.
T
F
So
thank
you
for
your
work.
I
think
it's
pretty
awesome
and
just
to
kind
of
follow
on
on
the
examples
of
implementation.
Those
are
really
fantastic
examples.
Some
other
folks
that
I
think
could
be
interested
in
this
information
are
our
healthcare
systems,
especially
on
the
health
piece
of
that
and
looking
at
different
neighborhoods
and
how
they
fare
as
far
as
health
outcomes
for
residents,
so
great
work,
steve.
Thank
you.
So
much.
T
Madam
mayor
council,
member
woodings,
thank
you
for
your
for
your
thoughts
there.
I
think
again,
there's
a
lot
of
potential
for
use
application.
It
paints
a
really
broad
picture.
You
know,
no
one
specific
is
really
driving
the
whole
outcome
that
you
saw
there,
but
I
think
there's
an
opportunity
for
areas
of
interest
like
health
for
folks
that
are
particularly
interested
in
that
to
take
a
deeper
dive
and
really
hone
in
on
areas
of
the
city
where
that
might
be
a
challenge.
I
T
T
The
areas
that
you
see
in
blue,
at
least
for
the
inputs
that
went
into
this
model,
were
those
that
came
in
an
output
to
say
if
there
are
potential
areas
of
focus,
to
make
improvements
in
those
areas
that
these
high
to
medium
high
priorities,
so
that
the
tracks
that
you
see
in
in
the
dark,
blue
and
then
the
medium
blue.
If
you
will,
would
be
the
areas
to
focus.
I
T
So
the
examples
of
the
data
that
we
looked
at
to
see
there
are
are
those
that
are
shown
on
the
slide
so
with
so
with
environmental
factors,
so
we're
thinking
about
flood
risk.
So
if
you
break
that
down
what
we
did
is
we
looked
at
the
potential
for
flood
risk
all
across
the
city,
and
then
we
mapped
each
census
tract
to
determine
which
had
the
highest
potential
for
flood
rent
flood
risk.
T
T
Madam
mayor
council,
member
sanchez,
so
I
I
don't
think
there's
a
specific
way
to
answer
that
question,
but
I
can
say
that
income
was
one
of
the
34
metrics
that
was
included.
So
it
is
part
of
the
analysis
that
produced
these
results
just
but
but
one
of
34
factors.
So
it's
a
consideration,
but
not
a
primary
consideration.
C
L
Quick
question
there
and
it's
kind
of
related
to
what
council
member
sanchez
was
bringing
up.
I
mean
one
of
the
things
that
I
noticed
when
we
look
at
some
of
the
darker
blue
areas
is
that
they
tend
to
be
along
busier
road
corridors
that
might
be
closer
to
traffic
and
emissions
and
hazards
and
stuff
that
are
presented
there.
L
T
L
T
L
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
that.
I
I
bring
that
up
because
that's
one
of
the
easiest
ones
for
me
to
see
in
the
world
that
I
work
in
when
I
look
at
inequalities
as
far
as
where
people
live
in
in
those
types
of
environments.
So
I
don't
know
if
that's
helpful
or
not
as
far
as
some
normal
people,
language,
at
least
it's
normal
in
the
transportation
world.
For
me,.
C
And
a
member,
madam
mayor
council
members,
I
will
offer
a
follow-up
because
I
needed
it.
It's
really
challenging
to
represent
this
sophisticated
tool.
That's
an
interactive
map
in
a
flat
power
point
in
front
of
council,
so
I'm
sure
I
can
volunteer
steve
to
sit
down
and
like
navigate
through
this
in
real
time,
because
I
was
interested
in
is,
if
you
remove
one
of
the
inputs,
what
happens?
C
How
is
it
weighted?
Where
actually
are
we
looking
at
and
which
communities
are
we
looking
at
steve?
Did
it
with
me
and
then
kindly
sent
me
the
link
and
I
got
super
overwhelmed
and
couldn't
figure
out
how
to
use
it.
So
I'm
sure
we
can
get
you
the
link.
If
you
would
like
steve's
help
in
navigating
this
complicated
tool,
I'm
sure
we
can
make
that
happen
as
well.
I
Those
can
be
triggering
for
folks
and
if
we
don't
give
some
detail
behind
that
people
will
fill
that
in
with
their
own
story,
and
so
I
think
it's
important
that
we
I'm
all
about
social
justice,
but
for
those
folks
who
who
don't
weren't
as
familiar
with
that
term,
I
don't
think
they
would
fully
appreciate
what
you're
talking
about
here.
So
I
guess
that
that's
what
I
would
like
to
see
a
little
more
behind
that
to
flush
that
out
a
little
bit
for
folks.
T
T
Member
sanchez
appreciate
that
comment.
You
know,
I
think
this
is
this
tool,
while
really
powerful
in
and
of
itself
does
bring
up
some
communication
challenges
and
we're
certainly
working
on
that
with
our
ce
team.
To
make
sure
we
put
the
best
foot
forward,
as
this
gets
more
broadly
shared
out
into
the
community.
G
I
had
the
opportunity
to
watch
as
this
tool
was
used.
Maybe
you
know
for
the
first
time
in
real-time
biocity
group,
on
the
city
of
trees,
challenge
and
first
of
all,
kudos
to
everyone
who
worked
on
it
for
developing
this
really
robust
data
set
that
they
were
able
to
use
in
a
way,
as
I
understand
it,
that
no
other
city,
at
least
to
date,
had
used
in
determining
you
know
how
to
target
their
tree.
Planting
efforts
based
on
equity
and
based
on
some
of
these
other
metrics.
I
think
councilmaber
beijing's
comment
about.
G
How
can
we
use
it
in
our
development
applications
to
give
us
better
information,
as
we
make
development
decisions
is
another
example.
It
seems
to
me
that
maybe
the
biggest
challenge
now
that
we
have
this
really
robust
set
of
data,
is
understanding
what
priorities
we're
going
to
set
to
use
it
for
and
how
we're
going
to
do
that.
G
As
we
make
decisions-
and
I
I
don't
pretend
to
have
the
answer
to
that-
I
just
know
that
it's
capable
of
so
much
that
it
would,
I
guessing
be
helpful
to
staff,
certainly
be
helpful
to
me
to
have
those
discussions
and
really
develop
direction
about
at
least
top
line.
How
to
use
it
doesn't
doesn't
mean
that
if
a
staff,
member
or
a
certain
initiative
comes
along
and
says,
wait
a
minute,
we
can
use
it
this
way,
we
wouldn't
do
it,
but
but
really
dig
in
and
prioritize.
T
Madam
mayor
council,
president
clegg,
it
does-
and
I
think
the
way
I
think
about
the
tool
and-
and
hopefully
others
will
is
that
it's
probably
not
a
one
size
fits
all.
It's
a
supplement
to
the
other
decision,
making
tools
that
are
already
embedded
in
in
various
programs
across
the
city
and
I'm
and
I'm
hopeful
it'll
be
one,
that's
beneficial,
but
I
think
the
use
case
is
going
to
going
to
vary
depending
on
the
nature
of
work.
T
Yeah
mayor
council
member
clegg
agree
with
that
point.
Definitely
there
are
some.
You
know,
as
we
presented
in
the
actions,
there's
some
clear
things
that
we
know
to
make
for
to
move
forward
that
this
definitely
supports,
and
I
think
one
thing
that's
been
helpful
as
well-
is,
as
we
look
to
other
cities
for
guidance
in
developing
the
tool,
we're
also
seeing
some
of
them
move
into
an
implementation
phase
with
the
work
that
they've
done.
So
we
can
learn
some
lessons
there
potentially
to
apply
to
our
work
as
well.
A
All
right
looks
like
there
are
no
further
comments.
Steve
is
this
your
yeah?
This
is
it
right.
I
I
just
want
to
say
I
appreciate
the
presentation
and,
as
we
move
into
a
conversation
also
about
housing,
you
know
it's
looking
at
tools
like
this
and
how
we
use
it
for
different
policy
decisions,
but
it
highlights
the
really
the
codependency
and
integration
of
all
the
issues
that
we
care
about.
C
We
have
expanded
the
team,
we
have
added
new
staff,
they
have
been
working
behind
the
scenes
to
get
the
pieces
and
parts
in
place
to
start
accelerating
what
the
city
can
do
in
the
housing
space.
A
lot
of
that
has
been
behind
the
scenes
today.
I'm
hopeful
maureen
will
bring
to
you
what
we
have
underway
and
where
we're
headed
in
the
housing
space,
so
that
you
get
the
clarity
you're
looking
for
in
terms
of
what
are
we
doing
and
what
we
plan
on
doing
and
getting
your
feedback
associated
with
that.
So
maureen.
U
Thank
you,
courtney,
mayor
and
council
thanks
for
having
me
this
morning,
as
courtney
mentioned,
I
am
here
to
provide
a
an
update
on
our
housing
goals,
the
strategies
to
meet
those
goals
and
our
progress
to
date,
I
tried
to
keep
this
presentation
pretty
high
level.
So
if
there
are
specific
project
level,
questions
that
I
don't
have
the
details
front
of
mind,
I'm
happy
to
come
back
with
a
written
update
and
then
my
colleagues
from
public
works
are
here
as
well.
U
U
U
U
U
This
means
that
we're
talking
about
the
workforce
that
keeps
our
city
running
we're
talking
about
wait,
staff
and
cashiers
we're
talking
about
teaching
assistants
and
day
care
providers
that
care
for
our
kids,
while
we're
at
work
we're
talking
about
the
vet
techs
that
take
care
of
the
pets.
We
love
the
certified
nursing
assistants
that
do
the
prep
work
before
we
see
the
doctor.
U
U
Again,
since
we
were
here
at
the
end
of
august
and
courtney
alluded
to
this
in
her
opening
comments,
the
work
our
team
has
undertaken
has
included
some
significant
heavy
lifting
behind
the
scenes.
This
work
has
been
led
by
anna
drennan.
You
met
her
in
august
she's,
our
new
housing
manager
joined
our
team
in
july
and
also
deanna
dupuis,
who
joined
our
team
in
her
new
position
over
the
summer.
U
We
continue
to
look
for
opportunities
to
acquire
land
via
the
city's
land,
trust
and
also
our
beginning
to
prepare,
as
the
mayor
stated,
our
city-owned
parcels
for
housing.
We
are
committing
the
funds.
These
housing
projects
need
the
dollars.
They
need
to
make
sure
they
have
the
resources
to
get
built
and
be
made
available
to
rent
for
residents
that
need
affordable
housing
and
then
we're
also-
and
this
is
critical
and
again
excuse
me
again-
the
mayor
mentioned
it-
we're
also
partnering
to
make
sure
the
city
is
not
the
only
problem
solver
at
the
table.
U
F
U
Mayor
council,
member
weddings
in
the
next
two
slides,
I'm
going
to
show
you
exactly
which
projects
we're
counting
towards
those
1162
homes.
But
yes,
it
does
inco
include
moda
franklin
and
it
will
include
any
projects
for
which
the
city
is
making
an
investment
using
one
of
the
tools
available
to
us,
including
the
housing
bonus
ordinance.
Okay,
sorry,
I
jumped.
U
So
moda
franklin
went
through
a
process,
not
unlike
this
one.
We
refined
the
process
state
and
arthur
is
going
through
it.
Currently,
we
have
these
as
examples
these
projects
as
examples
to
implement
measure
and
learn
from
and
then
to
streamline
our
efforts
across
city
departments
and
to
include
other
strategic
initiatives.
U
U
U
U
This
is
what
the
capacity
added
to
our
team
is
enabling
two
years
ago,
or
even
a
year
ago,
we
relied
much
more
heavily,
if
not
solely
on
housing
and
urban
development,
to
our
federal
grant
programs
on
on
housing
and
urban
development,
funded
housing
projects
to
increase
the
number
of
affordable
homes
in
boise,
and
you
can
see
here
with
a
commitment
to
invest
in
both
staff
capacity
and
funds.
The
significant
shift
in
impact.
U
This
is
a
slide
that
I
intend
to
be
used
if
it's
useful
as
a
handout,
it's
probably
more
more
useful
as
a
handout
than
a
slide.
So
you
don't
need
to
necessarily
try
to
read
the
detail
on
the
right,
but
those
are
the
14
projects,
just
a
high
level
summary
of
what
you
saw
on
the
previous
slide,
but
the
focus
more
so
here
is
on
the
map.
U
I
do
want
to
remind
residents
that,
as
the
city
leads
in
this
space
to
deliver
housing
to
those
who
need
it
most
and
because
I
know
this
got
mentioned
earlier
in
the
work
session,
you
know
development
takes
a
while
years,
really
there's
increased
costs,
there's
supply,
chain
issues,
etc,
etc.
But
I
do
want
to
remind
those
in
need
that
those
today
that
need
help
with
housing
costs
that
the
city
does
continue
to
offer
emergency
rental
assistance
and
the
mortgage
assistance
program.
U
U
Okay,
finally,
this
is
my
last
slide
before
any
questions
or
discussion,
but
just
one
more
visual
depiction
of
what's
happening
now,
so
that
you
can
continue
to
see
what
we
have
before
us
again.
This
represents
the
14
projects
that
are
currently
in
the
pipeline
and
the
phase
in
which
they
are
in
now
again,
it
does
not
reflect
any
new
opportunities
that
we
may
be
able
to
pursue
or
will
pursue
in
the
coming
months.
U
I
U
Madam
mayor
council,
pro
tem
sanchez,
this
presentation
on
the
1163
homes
included
here,
does
not
include
any
of
our
housing
preservation
efforts.
I
do
intend,
or
our
team
intends,
to
build
out
specific
strategies
and
specific
programming
if
you
will
to
move
towards
our
goal
of
creating
or
excuse
me
of
preserving
1
000
homes.
But
what
you
see
here
today
really
focuses
just
on
those
homes
that
we're
looking
to
create.
Okay,.
A
A
Sure,
I
think
that's
a
really
good
point
and
partnership
is
incredibly
important,
and
so,
if
you'll
remember
that
these
are
tied
mainly
to
the
land
that
we
have,
so
we
want
to
as
effectively
as
possible
use
assets
that
we
have
in
our
inventory,
as
well
as
other
places
where
federal
funds
that
we
distribute
would
incent
folks
to
and
build.
We
do
need
partnership
just
completely
private,
from
the
city
willing
also
to
build
homes
at
boise
budgets.
A
We've
called
on
the
state
and
the
governor
is
looking
at
investing
in
the
housing
trust
fund,
but
also
there
they've
now
done
an
assessment
of
their
assets
that
could
be
land
more
used
more
effectively.
The
partnership
we
have
with
ccdc
is
key,
and
the
chairman
of
ccdc
in
2020
said
that
her
goal
was
to
see
ccdc
move
into
the
affordability,
space
and
they've
done
that
very
effectively,
and
I
appreciate
that
and
then
there's
the
other
things
that
maureen's
come
to
us
and
will
come
to
us
again
when
it
comes
to
housing.
A
The
unhoused
we're
looking
at
medicaid
and
reimbursement
for
some
of
those
expenses,
other
entities
and
organizations
to
be
partners
in
that
space.
As
well
as
a
conversation
with
the
business
community
at
large
about
helping
to
provide
housing
for
their
employees
when
appropriate,
so
all
of
that
is
happening,
and
while
we
want
to
maximize
the
land
that
we
have
under
inventory,
deal.
F
Yeah,
madam
mayor,
I
just
wanted
to
offer
that
comment
that
you
just
made
one
of
the
things
that
came
out
of
the
associated
taxpayers
conference
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
was
the
willingness
and
understanding
of
some
of
our
large
employers
that
they
now
play
in
the
housing
arena
as
well,
particularly
from
odette
bolano,
the
ceo
of
senelles.
So
I
think
that
that
offers
some
really
great
opportunities
to
either
share
our
expertise
with
them.
A
If
it's
not
typically,
I'm
zoned
for
residential
with
the
with
the
tie-in
to
staff,
not
specific
to
any
employer.
That's
been
referenced
today,
but
to
some
conversations
we've
had
with
others,
so
really
appreciate
that
the
business
community
understands
as
the
tie-in
not
only
to
their
ability
to
hire
but
to
the
economic
health
of
our
region
in
general,
as
was
indicated
several
years
ago
by
brookings
and
now
the
the
business
community
is
a
willing
and
ready
partner
to
attend
to
address
this
and
to
help
us
encourage
other
public
agencies
to
partner
as
well.
I
Madam
mayor
maureen
do
we
know
if
members
of
the
public
if
they
know
that
they
too,
can
participate
in
this
process?
I
I
think
about
recently
being
contacted
by
neighbor
works
about
somebody
who
wanted
to
donate
their
home
like
the
actual
structure
and
just
move
it
to
a
piece
of
property,
and
I
was
really
pleased
to
hear
that
I
have.
I
had
not
heard
that
before
and
you
know.
Are
we
letting
folks
know
that
if
they
want
to
do
something
like
that,
that
that's
possible.
U
Mayor
mclean,
council,
pro
tim
sanchez,
the
the
short
answer
is
yes,
certainly,
there's
some
challenges
in
in
meeting
kind
of
the
wish
list,
if
you
will,
or
maybe
meeting
some
of
those
opportunities,
especially
if
they're
on
a
smaller
scale.
But
the
short
answer
is
that
we
have
a
pretty
robust
network
of
partners.
That
knows
the
city
has
resource
and
knows
that
if
they
want
to
partner
on
affordable
housing
that
we
are
all
ears
in
terms
of
resources,
ideas
and
really
leveraging
each
other's
strengths.
