Here,
well,
it's
your
weddings
here
all
present
come
on
up
Eric
good
to
see
you.
We've
got
a
whole
bunch
of
items
on
interim
budget
changes,
quite
a
few
of
which
I
are
pretty
exciting
from
the
Warm
Springs
I'll
call
it
Community
Center
to
funds
for
state
and
Arthur
homes
and
then
additional
rental
assistance.
So
thanks
for
walking
us
through
those.
D
Thank
you
very
much,
Madame
mayor
members
of
the
council.
We
have
14
interim
budget
changes
for
your
consideration
this
afternoon,
all
but
three
of
which
are
budget
or
Revenue
neutral.
The
first
three
are
for
the
airport.
They
all
three
of
these
are
to
cover
increase
in
construction
costs
or
for
utility
relocations.
D
The
fourth
item
is
for
two
distinct
arts
and
history.
Department
related
projects
funded
with
CCDC
resources.
The
first
one
is
art
public
art
at
West,
Grove
Street.
D
The
public
art
would
be
a
component
of
the
overall
project
to
bring
new
public
space
downtown.
Celebrating
the
history
of
the
old
Boise
neighborhood,
the
second
one
old
Boise
blocks,
public
art
actually
has
two
distinct
components.
The
first
is
for
the
design
and
Fabrication
of
public
artwork
that
would
serve
as
a
barrier
between
the
water
wheel
and
the
sidewalk
at
CW
Moore
Park.
D
The
fifth
item
is
a
budget
neutral
appropriation
increase
in
the
mayor's
office,
funded
through
a
reduction
of
the
city
council,
strategic
planning,
contingency
contingency,
as
a
contribution
for
the
2023
4th
of
July
parade.
There
would
be
an
additional
ten
thousand
dollar
in-kind
donation
or
contribution
from
the
mayor's
office
for
items
such
as
police
services
and
parking
included.
As
part
of
that
item
as
well
item
would
be
for
the
installation
of
a
burn
prop
at
the
fire
training
center.
D
This
gas-fired
prop
at
the
cost
of
a
quarter
of
a
million
dollars,
would
be
funded
through
a
donation
from
the
National
Park
Service,
and
when
the
fire
training
center
Tower
was
constructed,
it
was
constructed
to
accommodate
this
eventual
prop.
So
we
have
that
element.
Next
item
is
the
purchase
of
SCBA
equipment
funded
through
a
grant
from
FEMA.
D
The
current
SCBA
equipment
has
reached
the
end
of
its
useful
life.
This
grant
would
be
again
supported
through
FEMA
resources.
Boise
is
coordinating
the
purchase
of
this
and
the
the
overall
Grant
process
on
behalf
of
other
local
fire
districts,
including
Eagle,
Middleton,
Knack,
fur
and
Whitney.
D
The
eighth
item
is
for
a
an
Associated
piece
of
equipment,
along
with
the
scbas,
which
is
a
compressor
that
piece
of
equipment
would
be
funded
via
a
donation
from
the
National
Park
Service.
D
The
next
item
is
an
increase
to
our
risk
management
fund
to
support
higher
than
anticipated
Insurance
costs
for
for
various
risk
services
at
the
city,
it
will
be
funded
from
fun.
Fun.
Balance
within
the
risk
management
fund.
D
Tenth
item
is
a
series
of
Investments
at
the
downtown
library,
all
three
funded
from
the
project
portfolio
fund
established
as
part
of
the
FY
23
adopted
budget.
The
first
element
would
be
a
six
hundred
thousand
dollar
investment
for
renovations
on
the
first
floor,
covering
a
remodeling
of
the
entrance
circulation
desk
and
expansion
of
the
youth
services
area.
D
Second
element
is
thirty
thousand
dollars
for
a
space
study
at
the
main
library
to
maximize
public
space
usage
there,
and
the
third
item
would
be
for
fourth
floor
Renovations,
basically
converting
a
work
room.
That's
been
used
for
storage
for
additional
staff
space
item
number
11
is
for
planning
and
design
work
associated
with
the
new
city
facility
at
Warm,
Springs
Golf
Course.
D
D
The
12th
item
is
for
a
mapping
project,
a
goat
heads
mapping
project
and
the
Boise
Foothills
for
the
development
of
a
map
of
goat
head
hot
spots
to
advance
eradication
efforts.
That
project
would
be
funded
through
the
open
space
and
clean
water
Levy
fund.
D
The
13th
item
is
an
investment
for
the
state
and
Arthur
affordable
housing
project.
That
investment
would
have
two
components:
1.2
million
loan
of
federal
home
funds
that
would
be
repaid
to
the
City
by
a
HUD
at
a
later
date,
and
a
one
million
one
million
dollar
contribution
of
City
funds
from
the
hcd
housing
investment
program.
D
The
final
item
would
be
an
increase
for
the
Emergency
rental
assistance
program
that
investment
would
be
funded.
The
city
investment
would
be
reimbursed
by
a
contribution
from
the
Department
of
Treasury
to
extend
that
program.
1.4
million
would
go
directly
to
emergency
rental
assistance,
with
the
remaining
6.7
million
available
for
future
construction,
Rehabilitation
or
pres
housing,
affordability,
preservation,
projects
with
that
I'd
be
happy
to
stand
for
any
questions,
and
we
have
Representatives
available
for
the
majority
of
these
projects
here
as
well.
E
Thank
you
so
much.
That
was
a
really
well
summarized
report.
I
just
had
a
quick
question
with
respect
to
the
library
project,
in
particular
the
notation
that
the
six
hundred
thousand
dollar
allocation
would
is
not
kind
of
necessarily
aligned
with
the
American
Disabilities
Act
and
the
the
additional
kind
of
Maintenance
repairs.
I
was
just
curious.
If
you
could
speak
to
you.
Are
we
planning
to
align
those
to
ensure
that
there's
access
and
part
of
that
project,
especially
on
the
American
Disabilities
Act,
is
my
primary
issue.
F
Mayor
council
member,
we
have
current
projects
going
for
Ada
right
now
and
major
repair
and
maintenance,
and
so
this
project
just
kind
of
fits
in
with
nice
timing.
So
we
are
taking
care
of
all
of
that
through
separate
projects.
Okay,.
G
Senator,
mayor
I,
don't
have
any
questions.
I
just
have
a
couple
of
comments,
one
these
are
there's
14
items
here.
So
there's
a
lot
of
changes
but
they're
all
super,
exciting
and
I.
G
Think
a
lot
of
them
speak
to
the
city's
like
great
Partnerships
that
we
have
across
the
board
whether
it's
fire
national
parks,
CCDC
and
arts,
and
history
council,
member
willett's
efforts
with
the
Fourth
of
July
parade,
Boise,
State
University
and
the
clean
water
and
open
space
advisory
committee
with
the
goat
heads
and
you
know
all
the
stuff
that
our
housing,
our
housing
staff,
is
working
with
with
the
housing
authority
and
plan
development,
Idaho,
Housing
and
finance
Association
and
HUD.
G
There's
just
so
many
ways
where
we're
working
together
with
different
departments
to
make
a
lot
of
these
things
happen,
and
it's
really
cool
to
see
all
that
collaboration.
One
I
think
special
note.
The
one
that's
related
to
puncture
eradication
I
have
nothing
to
do
with
this
whatsoever,
but
during
the
previous
administration,
I
remember
going
to
Mayor
beater
at
the
time
and
talking
about
go
ahead
Fest
and
he
asked
if
it
was
really
going
to
be
possible
to
get
rid
of
goat
heads
in
the
Treasure
Valley
and
I
and
I
told
him
like.
H
G
I,
don't
know
that
it's
going
to
be
that
possible,
but
this
is
a
really
cool
project,
because
it's
a
PhD
project
at
Boise,
State
University,
where
they're
really
taking
a
scientific
method
to
figuring
out
where
is
puncture
Vine
or
go
ahead
spreading
from,
and
how
can
we
eradicate
it
from
those
areas
to
keep
it
from
spreading
further?
And
so
it's
a
much
more
scientific
approach
than
I
ever
would
have
envisioned
to
helping
get
rid
of
these
things.
G
But
it's
just
a
really
cool
way
that
we
can
partner
with
Boise
State,
some
of
their
best
and
brightest
students
and,
of
course,
Martha
Braven
of
the
city
of
Boise,
to
figure
out
how
we
can
make
a
a
great
stab
at
getting
rid
of
these
things.
And
then
the
the
second
thing
was
just
a
big
compliment
to
council
member
Willets
I
know
that
she
put
a
lot
of
effort
to
get
this
into
the
interim
budget,
change
and
I.
Think
it's
really
exciting
to
have
this
back
in
Boise.
It's
a
good
job.
A
C
I
would
just
like
to
Echo
councilmember
Hallie
Burton's
comments.
There's
a
lot
here.
Thank
you.
Eric
I
know
you're
busy
preparing
the
upcoming
budget.
Obviously
I'm
very
excited
about
the
opportunity
that
we
have
to
celebrate.
The
Fourth
of
July
I
want
to
compliment
Todd
Christensen
who's
here
from
cap
Ed,
Credit,
Union,
who's,
helping
us
spearhead
this.
We
have
a
remarkable
opportunity
as
a
community
to
come
together
and
celebrate
the
founding
of
our
country,
and
the
theme
of
this
year
is
founding
fathers
and
founding
mothers,
which
I
very
much
appreciate.
C
As
a
side
note,
if
you
haven't
read
cookie
Roberts
book
on
founding
mothers,
it
is
a
must,
read,
excellent
and
also
we're
going
to
be
celebrating
the
250th
anniversary
celebration
of
our
country
coming
up
in
a
few
years.
So
this
is
just
getting
us
on
the
track
to
have
Boise,
be
on
the
map
for
that
sort
of
Celebration
and
I
appreciate
the
mayor's
office
for
their
country
for
her
contribution,
and
also
for
the
city
council,
positive
pending
to
get
us
off
the
ground.
C
A
Yeah
and
on
that,
just
before
we
vote
I
want
to
thank
you
too,
for
working
on
it
into
cap.
Ed
I
also
want
to
thank
the
family
that,
for
years
put
this
on,
it's
I
think
we've
discovered,
especially
as
we
now
have
a
title
sponsor.
A
That's
hired
folks
to
help
make
this
happen,
how
how
much
work
it
was
for
the
family
that
made
our
fourth
of
July
parade
happen
for
so
many
years,
and
it,
you
know,
made
sense
that
they
needed
to
take
a
break,
and
it's
lovely
that
the
community
came
together
to
bring
this
back
and
I
look
forward
to
pancakes
after
and
all
the
other
events
around
it,
but
just
want
to
give
a
nod
to
to
the
family
that
for
so
many
years,
organized
that
parade
on
their
own
and
those
of
us
that
are
in
the
middle
of
special
events
permits
and
all
those
other
things
really
know
how
much
work
went
into
it
and
the
effort
that
they
made,
and
so
thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
you've
done
into
the
title.
A
Sponsor
cap
Ed
for
bringing
us
all
together
around
it
and
thanks
to
all
the
staff.
That's
here
today,
I'm
the
council
president
pro
tems
right.
All
all
of
these
budget
changes
are
really
a
result
of
really
important
Partnerships,
which
bring
great
results
and
work
onto
the
ground
in
our
community
for
Boise.
So
appreciate
that
Amanda.
G
Mayor
yeah,
there
is
one
more
that
I
didn't
mention
and
that's
the
incredible
donor
who's
making
the
Warm
Springs
Golf
Course
the
the
space
there
possible.
So
a
big
thank
you
to
them
as
well,
and
to
our
Parks
and
Rec
team,
who
helped
put
that
together.
C
I
I
A
Eric
and
Chloe
welcome
Chloe's
gonna
walk
through
an
update
on
the
grants
that
we're
providing
to
small
businesses
in
our
community.
J
Good
afternoon,
mayor
and
city
council
I
am
Chloe
Ross
a
strategic
initiatives
manager
in
the
mayor's
office
and
I
am
here
to
provide
a
wrap
up,
which
will
include
an
overview
of
the
arpa
small
business
grant
program.
I'm
going
to
review
details
of
the
program
set
a
little
context
and
then
talk
about
our
vetting
as
well
as
the
amendment
that
we
have
on
the
consent
agenda
at
6
PM
to
give
United
Way
a
little
bit
more
money
to
make
this
happen.
J
As
a
reminder,
this
is
one
of
the
five
arba
projects
Council
earmarked
in
2021
that
would
go
directly
into
the
community
to
address
pandemic
related
impacts.
Two
million
dollars
was
set
aside
to
administer
four
thousand
dollar
mini
grants
to
small
businesses
in
our
community.
We
had.
We
have
funding
for
about
500
small
businesses
and
we've
partnered,
with
the
United
Way
of
Treasure
Valley
to
administer
the
funds.
J
The
grant
program
was
designed
to
Target,
especially
small
businesses
in
our
community,
who
were
adversely
impacted
by
the
pandemic
and
who
may
not
have
been
on
it,
who
may
not
have
been
able
to
access
pandemic,
related
relief,
otherwise
recipients
don't
have
any
obligation
to
pay
the
money
back
or
to
report
on
purchases
made
with
those
funds.
This
is
a
no
strings
attached.
Grant
meant
to
provide
relief
to
those
businesses
in
our
community
who
may
have
fallen
through
the
cracks.
J
The
application
was
open,
November
1722
to
January
31st
2023.
We
reached
out
to
over
2100
businesses
in
the
community
to
advertise
this
opportunity,
and
then
we
provided
translation
services
in
Spanish,
Swahili
and
Arabic
to
make
sure
that
this
was
truly
accessible
to
as
many
businesses
and
and
business
owners
as
possible
once
the
application
was
closed.
Earlier
this
year,
a
small
But
Mighty
team
of
City
staff
reviewed
and
vetted
each
application,
and
once
that
review
process
was
over
487
businesses
have
been
approved
to
receive
a
four
thousand
dollar
Grant
in
this
month.
J
To
give
you
a
sense
of
what
types
of
businesses
the
these
businesses
range
from:
auto
mechanics
to:
hair,
stylists
and
nail
techs,
massage
therapists,
counselors,
lawn
and
repair
maintenance
companies,
small
restaurants-
and
there
are
even
some
musicians
in
the
group.
J
The
first
four
pretty
self-explanatory,
but
I
would
like
to
comment
on
the
qualified
industry
codes
and
the
negative
economic
impact,
because
we
wanted
to
Target
specific
businesses
who
we
know
fared
poorly.
During
the
pandemic,
applicants
were
asked
to
select
an
industry
from
the
selection
of
Nike's
codes
and
Nike
stands
for
North
American
industry
classification
system,
which
is
just
a
set
of
codes
that
is
used
by
the
federal
government
to
essentially
collect
and
analyze
information.
J
Additionally,
in
order
to
be
eligible,
applicants
had
to
have
experienced
negative
economic
impact
and
to
show
this,
they
could
either
identify
that
their
business
lives
in
a
qualified
census
tract
or
that
they
had
experienced
negative
economic
impact,
which
we
would
consider
periods
of
closure
trouble,
covering
payroll
or
operating
costs,
or
just
a
general
inability
to
weather
financial
hardship.
And
at
any
time,
we
reserve
the
right
to
reach
out
and
collect
documentation.
That
would
prove
negative
economic
impact.
J
J
J
Throughout
the
entire
vetting
process,
we
identified
a
total
of
33
people
who
invented
a
fake
business
or
applied
on
behalf
of
a
real
business
without
the
knowledge
of
the
business
owner
and
in
those
instances
the
business
owner
was
was
contacted
to
verify
the
identity
and
upon
authorization
or
not
authorization.
The
business
owner
was
offered
the
grant
as
long
as
the
business
was
verified
as
eligible
and
then
what
we
did
was
take
that
list
of
33
and
share
that
with
the
police
department
for
further
investigation.
J
The
result
of
the
review
found
that
four
percent
of
the
applicants
had
falsely
self-attested
to
having
negatively
experienced
a
negative
economic
impact,
so
that
looked
like
of
those
35
businesses
23
were
able
to
provide
proof
of
financial
impact,
acceptable
proof.
Three
were
unable
to
provide
sufficient
documentation,
one
provided
false
documentation
and
eight
were
non-responsive.
J
A
A
Thank
you
to
you
and
the
team
for
the
work
that
went
into
this
I
mean
this
was
our
opportunity
to
give
funds
back
to
businesses
that
struggled
during
the
pandemic.
A
That
didn't
receive
funds
from
other
sources,
and
it
was
something
that
was
important
to
you
that
we
go
back
to
those
that
didn't
qualify
for
or
didn't
or
we'd
run
out
of
funds
to
support
businesses
that
had
tried
to
earlier
in
the
pandemic,
and
our
goal
with
this
was
really
to
support
small
businesses,
as
you
know,
as
often
and
as
much
as
we
could
and
I,
also
appreciate
that
you
brought
up
the
number
of
businesses
that
you
found
that
you
know.
A
Hadn't
done
the
application
correctly
or
they'd,
falsely
attested
to
the
impact,
because
it
was
important
to
us
also
to
demonstrate
that
we
had
the
processes
in
place
to
make
sure
that
those
that
worked
hard
played
by
the
rules
and
were
eligible
for
these
funds
could
receive
them
to
help
their
businesses.
But
on
the
other
side
that
we
weren't
giving
them
to
businesses
that
should
receive
them.
A
B
You
mayor
Madam,
mayor
I,
have
a
question
about
the
language
access
piece
you
had
mentioned:
Spanish,
Swahili
and
Arabic
Arabic.
B
Do
we
keep
track
of
businesses
in
Boise
and
what
their,
what
the
first
language
of
their
owners
is
I'm?
Just
like
super
curious
about
that.
J
Mayor
and
council
president
woodings,
that
is
a
good
question
and
I
I,
don't
believe
that
we
have
a
certain
list
of
number
of
who
are
certain.
You
know
speaking
certain
languages,
but
that
list
was
selected
based
on
who
are
targeted.
Industries
were
and
I
think
kind
of
a
general
sense
of
you
know
who
owned
those
businesses
and
and
what
could
be
the
broadest
reach.
B
It
would
be
like
as
we're
licensing
businesses,
it
would
be
interesting
to
have
that
as
a
question
to
kind
of
capture
those
demographics,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
what
we
think
is
actually
true
as
we're
going
about
things
like
this
in
the
future.
So
I
I
really
appreciate
that
and
great
job.
B
This
was
something
that
came
up
really
early
in
the
pandemic,
as
very
small
businesses
were
struggling
a
lot
and
there
wasn't
a
lot
of
help
out
there
for
them.
So
I'm
glad
that
we
were
finally
able
to
get
some
assistance
so
better
late
than
never
right.
G
Memory,
yeah
I
would
just
Echo
your
words.
You
know
personally,
it's
it's
not
easy
to
apply
for
Grants,
even
in
the
nonprofit
sector,
when
you're
trained
how
to
do
it,
it's
not
easy
to
do,
and
these
are
you
know,
small
businesses
who
don't
do
this
on
a
regular
basis
going
to
a
time
of
Crisis,
you
know
trying
to
figure
out
ways
to
make
ends.
G
Meet
and
I
just
really
appreciate
all
the
extra
effort
that
went
into
it
from
the
staff
from
the
folks
at
the
United
Way
to
really
make
sure
that
we
were
doing
everything
we
could
to
help
folks
out
as
much
as
we
can
and
sort
of
the
you
know
the
hands-off.
You
know
no
strings
attached
approach.
You
know
we
know
that
these
businesses
struggled
and
now
we
want
to
give
them
whatever
resource
we
can
for
them
to
get
back
on
their
feet
and
do
the
best
that
they
can
so
again.
G
J
K
A
I
All
right,
thank
you.
So
I
am
Sarah
Borden
HR
director,
and
it
was
about
a
year
ago
that
I
came
to
you
and
said
I
asked
for
some
help.
We
had
our
HR
department,
the
city
was
growing
and
we
couldn't
keep
up
with
demand.
So
I
asked
for
some
help
with
some
security
coverage.
We've
gotten
that
now
for
the
libraries
that
feels
really
great.
We
asked
for
business
partners.
I
We
now
have
those
stood
up
and
people
in
place
and
they
are
serving
as
the
first
point
of
contact
for
our
departments
and
having
a
lot
of
success
and
I'm
getting
a
lot
of
really
good
feedback
from
directors
saying
they
feel
much
better
support
and
then
what
the
other
thing
that
we
asked
for
was
some
help
with
the
talent
acquisition
team
to
stand
up
a
team
that
could
really
address.
How
do
we
get
the
best
brightest
employees
as
quickly
as
we
can
so
I'm
happy
to
report
as
of
yesterday?
I
I
So
I'm
going
to
run
through
just
some
national
and
state
Trends,
so
you
all
can
see
what
is
the
status
of
this?
We
know
after
the
pandemic,
finding
employees
was
has
gotten
really
hard,
so
I
want
to
just
get
us
up
to
speed
on
current
state.
I
want
to
talk
some
more
about
city
of
Boise
data
specifically
and
then
some
of
the
strategies
that
we've
got
in
place
and
are
working
on
so
National
Trends
we'll
make
this
as
simple
as
possible,
but
essentially
the
top
line
is
hires.
I
The
bottom
line
is
separations
when
you
have
more
hires
and
separations
you're
in
a
tough
spot
right,
there
are
fewer
people
available
to
come
and
work
for
you,
so
you
can
see
nationally
go
back
to
February
of
21
we're
about
there.
It's
it
went
up
and
then
it's
come
back
down,
but
we're
still
in
a
tough
spot.
So
to
say
this
has
resolved
itself.
Just
isn't
the
case.
Everybody
is
still
kind
of
vying
for
for
the
same
employees
and
then
this
one
just
shows
that
we
track
with
the
US.
I
So
these
are
job
openings
as
a
percent
of
employment.
The
thing
to
note
here
is
that
the
blue
line
is
the
US
and
then
the
red
dotted
line
is
Idaho.
We
tend
to
have
a
bit
harder
time,
we're
a
growing
city,
we
need
more
people
and
that
it
we
we
track
the
trend,
but
it's
just
a
little
even
tougher
than
some
of
the
other
places
in
the
country.
L
I
This
is
not
resolved
itself,
so
we're
all
still
kind
of
in
the
same,
the
same
spot
and
then
I
want
to
talk
specifically
about
Idaho.
This
is
a
super
busy
chart,
but
it's
what
I
used
even
last
year
to
show
you,
the
the
blue
dark
blue,
is
the
Idaho
unemployed.
You
can
see
with
covid
the
spike
in
terms
of
people
unemployed
and
then
it
kind
of
is
leveled
out
the
light
blue
are
available
postings
and
then
the
dotted
is
the
ratio
of
job
postings
to
unemployed.
I
The
bottom
line
of
this
is
that
there
are
one
and
a
half
jobs
per
available
person,
so
we
have
more
jobs
than
we
have
people.
It's
gotten
a
whole
lot
better
than
it
was
last
year,
but
it's
still
we're
out
of
whack.
So
we
are
vying
for
the
same
folks
with
everybody
else
in
in
Idaho
as
well.
Idaho's
unemployment,
most
recently
looks
like
it
was
about
2.6
percent.
I
The
western
region
so
take
Colorado,
go
north
and
south
and
then
left
or
west
that
it's
about
4.3,
so
Idaho
is
really
really
super
tight
and
we're
growing.
So
it's
just.
It
continues
to
be
a
tough
spot,
so
it
it
essentially
tells
us
thank
you
for
letting
us
have
a
talent
acquisition
team,
because
we
darn
well
need
it,
and
this
I
just
wanted
to
show
you.
I
So
you
know
kind
of
the
situation,
we're
in
so
just
a
reminder
when
we
talk
about
our
employees,
what's
the
size
of
the
workforce,
I'm
not
going
to
read
through
each
of
those,
but
this
is
the
the
volume
of
of
folks.
We
need
to
just
keep
keep
to
be
functional
and
you'll
see
their
640
annual
average
temp
and
seasonal
employees.
We
are
hot
and
heavy
right
now,
hiring
lifeguards
play
camps,
all
that
kind
of
stuff.
So
that's
going
on
right
now,
so
there
is
some
fluctuation
in
the
workforce
based
on
that.
I
I
They
just
haven't
done
it
yet
so
as
soon
as
the
academy
runs
through,
then
those
vacancies
drop
because
we're
able
to
fill
those
there's
also
the
case
that
some
vacancies
are
there,
but
we're
just
not
quite
ready
to
hire
the
organization
isn't
ready,
but
they
know
they're
going
to
need
some
folks
to
do
some
things
coming
forward
and
I'll
talk
about
that
in
just
a
minute.
But
the
vacancy
right
now
is
hovering
right
around
10,
it's
better
than
it's
been,
but
it's
still
higher
than
we
want.
I
G
I
Think
every
director
is
running
into
this
yeah
there's
some
that
it
feels
like
it's
gotten
better.
The
fact
HR
is
fully
staffed,
feels
really
good,
so
it's
possible,
but
it
to
say
yeah,
oh
yeah,
we're
seeing
the
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel.
It's
still
it's
still
pretty
rough.
Thank
you,
yeah.
I
Okay,
so
I
want
to
now
talk.
This
is
human
resources,
so
I
want
to
talk
about
the
people
that
we
were
able
to
bring
in.
These
are
our
recruiters,
so
we
have
Amanda
who's
been
with
the
city,
and
this
was
a
promotion
for
her.
We
have
Manju
who's
relatively
new
to
the
city,
but
has
a
whole
lot
of
experience,
and
some
of
you
might
have
already
worked
with
her
in
Recruitment
and
then
we
have
Sam
who's,
got
previous
experience
and
then
worked
with
the
National
Guard.
I
So
these
are
the
recruiters
who
do
everything
from
the
minute.
A
requisition
comes
up
through
having
someone
get
an
offer
letter
and
they
are.
They
have
a
lot
of
energy.
It's
a
it's,
a
rare
breed
who
can
do
Recruitment
and
they're?
Really
awesome
team
and
Megan
mcjunkin
is
the
senior
manager
if
you've
worked
with
Megan,
and
these
are
our
coordinators,
so
the
minute
that
the
offer
letter
goes
out
until
they're
onboarded.
These
are
the
lovely
folks
that
help
us
do
that.
The
first
Sarah
we
joke
there
are
four
Sarah's
in
HR.
I
If
you
throw
a
rock
you'd
hit
one,
but
this
Sarah
is
dedicated
to
Public
Safety
Sarah
C
has
been
with
the
organization
for
eight
years,
supporting
the
recruitment
we
used
to
do
and
then
some
of
the
onboarding
and
then
Mary
Ellen
she's
been
with
HR
as
a
as
a
function
for
a
long
time.
So
these
are
the
coordinators
that
do
the
administration
to
get
people
ready
and
onboarded
as
quickly
as
possible.
I
So
by
investing
in
town
acquisition
team
like
I
mentioned
earlier,
we've
got
a
dedicated
team.
Now
this
is
what
they
do
for
living.
It's
a
lot
of
work,
but
it
is
the
only
thing
they
do:
they're,
not
distracted
by
a
whole
bunch
of
other
things
they
used
to
have
to
add
to
the
job.
So
they
do
everything
from
sourcing
through
onboarding
going
and
finding
people
where
they
are.
It
used
to
be
back
when
we
had
39
applicants
per
job.
I
You
could
just
say:
hey,
we
got
another,
one
benefits
are
great
come
on
over
and
we
get
a
whole
bunch
of
applicants.
That's
just
not
the
way,
so
we
have
to
now
go
actively
look
for
folks.
We
also
are
partnering
differently
and
better
with
the
hiring
managers
so
by
new
service
levels.
That
means
that
we
go
in
and
we
do
an
intake
for
every
new
open
position.
What
are
you
looking
for?
What's
the
expectation
what's
the
skill
set,
so
our
expert
recruiters
can
go
look
for
that
and
then
also
we're
now.
I
Writing
offer
letters
as
an
example,
so
they're,
consistent,
they're,
clear,
they're,
accurate
all
those
kinds
of
things,
so
there's
a
different
service
level
with
our
hiring
managers
and
that's
been
well
received.
The
other
thing
is
with
the
applicant
experience:
how
can
we
make
onboarding
better?
How
can
we
make
it
quicker
and
as
easy
as
possible?
I
One
of
the
things
we're
excited
about
that
we're
doing
is.
We
are
now
doing
background
checks
by
Outsourcing
instead
of
instead
of
doing
them
ourselves.
Sorry
I've
taken
deep
breath.
I'm
talking
too
fast
anyway,
so
we're
Outsourcing
background
checks
to
make
that
quicker,
easier
and
keep
our
staff
focused
where
they
need
to
focus.
C
I
Yeah,
so
we
would
agree
on
compensation,
then
they'd
go
write
them.
Sometimes
they
were
what
we
thought.
They'd
be
sometimes
they
weren't.
So
this
is
just
bringing
more
consistency
to
the
process
and
taking
a
load
off,
and
we
had
people
in
departments
who
weren't
HR
people
that
were
trying
their
best
to
serve
as
an
HR
person,
because
that's
all
we
had.
C
I
So
here
are
some
of
the
Community
Partnerships
we've
got
going
and
we
are
always
welcome
to
More.
If
you
know
some
that
we
should
be
talking
to
we're
happy
to
do
that.
We
have
neighbors
United
and
International
Rescue
committee
and
we're
starting
to
just
build
some
potential
strategies
on
how
we
might
work
with
them.
I
We
have
the
folks
through
Mission,
43
hire
heroes
are
one
of
our
business
partners.
Dietrich
Morgan
came
from
them.
That's
been
a
phenomenal
partnership,
they're
very
receptive
and
responsive
and
we're
getting
great
talent
from
that
group
and
partnering
with
them.
We've
got
BSU
internships,
I
think
in
the
mayor's
office,
or
some
some
of
the
mayor's
initiatives
have
some
of
those
interns,
as
well
as
in
the
department,
so
we've
been
able
to
partner
with
BSU.
In
that
way,
then
we've
been
talking
to
CWI
around
trades
and
mechanical
positions,
and
how
can
we
build
that
pipeline?
I
Public,
Works
and
Airport
have
a
whole
lot
of
positions
that
need
to
be
filled
that
tie
to
these
kinds
of
skill
sets.
So
how
do
we
bring
those
folks
in
the
Idaho
commission
for
Blind
and
Visually
Impaired,
we're
doing
some
work
to
bring
some
folks
in
and
see
how
that
works?
There's
some
youth
volunteer
training
going
on
just
to
get
people
some
skill
sets
so
that
they
can
come
in
and
help
out.
I
And
then
we're
also
doing
better
sourcing
and
advertising.
So
LinkedIn
many
of
us
are
on
LinkedIn.
They
have
really
great
recruiter
tools,
so
we
didn't
just
say:
oh
yeah,
we're
gonna,
we're
gonna
post
some
stuff
every
now,
and
then
we're
actually
subscribing
to
their
recruiter
tools
so
that
we
can
get
more
access
and
more
visibility.
There
we
use.
I
I
Also
been
nice
because
the
Departments
have
been
partnering
with
us
and
bringing
their
staff.
Who
knows
the
jobs?
We
aren't.
Experts
in
you
know
HVAC,
and
that
kind
of
thing,
but
they
are
so
they
can
come
talk
to
their
folks.
Okay,
I
just
have
a
couple
more
slides
and-
and
this
gets
to
the
good
news
which
were
whoops
somehow
that
got
backwards.
I
I'll
put
it
here,
it's
funny
in
my
slide
deck
one
other
thing
I
just
want
to
touch
on
is
with
200
vacancies.
We
can't
just
keep
saying:
oh
yeah.
We
have
200
vacancies.
What
we
want
to
do
is
say
of
these.
When
do
you
need
them?
So
let's
put
them
on
a
timeline
and
say
we
know
we
need
to
hire
these
15
this
month,
the
next
20
the
next
month,
so
that
we
know
when
we
are
going
at
it
and
make
sure
those
are
accurate
vacancies,
and
then
we
can
plan
and
start
sourcing.
I
I
Okay,
that's
what
I
thought
it
was
done.
Okay,
so
the
Orange
Line
are
the
number
of
vacant
positions
and
the
blue
are
the
positions
being
filled?
The
good
news
is
they're
starting
to
come
together.
That's
exactly
what
we
want
to
see.
We
are
anticipating,
with
this
new
team
that
we
can
move
faster
now
that
they
are
in
place.
We
got
our
processes
pretty
well
defined.
The
way
we
do
businesses
is
established
now,
and
so
we
could
just
move
a
little
faster.
So
this
since
January
is
making
us
feel
pretty
good.
I
We
know
there's
work
to
do,
but
we're
at
least
heading
in
the
right
direction,
and
then
the
last
one
I'll
leave
you
with
is
just.
We
now
have
actually
58
I
look
today,
jobs
open
that's
more
than
we
typically
do
it
used
to
be
in
the
40s.
We
now
have
capacity
to
advertise
more
jobs
to
go
for
more
jobs
and
get
them
out
there
invisible
to
people
who
might
be
looking
for
one.
So
the
news
is
good.
It's
just
we're
going
to
have
to
keep
after
it
and
be
pretty
aggressive
in
what
we're
doing.
I
I
The
Hope,
though,
is
that
we
can
keep
it
up
right.
So
if
we
know
we've
got
that
many
vacancies,
how
do
we
plan
ahead,
so
we
can
keep
bringing
them
in
sooner,
not
kind
of
waiting
and
like
oh
now,
I
might
be
ready.
You
might
be
ready.
How
can
we
be
much
more
proactive?
The
other
thing
now
that
we
have
the
business
partners
in
place.
I
It's
a
great
partnership,
because
they
now
know
the
library
person
knows
what
the
library
needs
are,
so
we
can
talk
to
them
about
it
and
see
what
we
can
be
doing
to
be
ready
for
when
when
their
needs
arise,
so
it
just
is
a
much
tighter,
easier
way
to
work.
Now
that
we've
got
the
resources
we
need
to
do
it
so
again,
thank
you
for
last
year
and
getting
us
set
up
well
for
now
any
other
questions.
E
Yes,
just
on
your
last
slide,
I
noticed
those
55
job
postings,
but
to
the
mayor's
question
about
seasonal
employees,
I
presume,
based
on
the
presentation
we
had
earlier,
especially
from
Parks
and
Rec,
that
that
may
not
be
indicative
of
the
number
of
actual
jobs
available.
I
presume
one
posting
for
a
seasonal
employee
might
lead
to
five.
I
B
Madamir
yes
well,
Sarah
I
just
want
to
commend
you
on
potentially
being
the
only
entity
in
the
entire
city
of
Boise
who's,
fully
staffed
right
now.
Well,.
I
B
And
plus,
we
recently
got
to
work
with
Manju
and
she's
fabulous
like
it's
so
great
working
with
a
recruiter
who
really
knows
their
stuff
and
can
give
great
advice
and
really
provide
good
guidance
when
you're
recruiting
for
a
really
important
position.
So
I
appreciate
all
your
work,
yeah.
Thank
you
and
we'll
just
keep
hiring
yeah.
I
F
C
G
Mary
I
know
that
we've
been
doing
a
lot
of
different
tabling
activities,
different
job
fairs
and
stuff,
like
that
I'm
kind
of
curious.
If
we
can
tell
when
people
apply
or
when
they
actually
get
a
job,
if
we
can
tell
where
they're
coming
from
and
like
which
areas
are
more
effective
than
those
or
if.
G
I
A
A
L
Mayor
council
members
I'll
go
through
quickly
an
update
on
efforts
around
Pathways
in
the
city.
Joining
me
this
evening
are
Jessica
zielag,
who
leads
the
planning
team
within
planning
and
development
services
and
Tessa
Gregor,
who
leads
the
mobility
and
public
spaces
team,
she's
new
to
the
city
and
also
Karen
Gallagher
who's
here
that
you
know
and
has
worked
for
the
city
for
quite
some
time
on
all
issues
related
to
Transportation
I'll,
announce
if
it,
if
you
don't
know
that
that
Karen
will
be
retiring
soon,
so
she'll
be
leaving
the
city.
L
First
of
all,
regarding
the
background
on
Pathways,
the
pathways
plan
was
adopted
by
the
city.
Just
over
a
year
ago,
in
January
of
2022,
it
does
Envision
a
network
of
Pathways
throughout
the
city
that
that
connect
us
connect.
Neighborhoods
connect
people
to
Parks,
connect
people
to
places
they
need
to
be
supports.
L
Goals
and
priorities
around
mobility
and
Equity
climate.
It's
a
fundamental
part
of
how
you
all
see
the
city
growing.
We
recognize
that
and-
and
this
is
something
of
great
urgency
for
the
city,
because
we
are
growing
and
it's
important-
that
we
grow
around
more
and
more
people
having
access
to
Pathways
throughout
the
city
and
therefore
having
options
for
how
they
get
around
and
have
better
access
to
the
things
that
they
need.
L
It
is
the
case,
as
you
know,
that
a
little
more
than
75
percent
of
residents
of
the
city
live
within
a
10-minute
walk
of
existing
or
planned
Pathways
that
are
part
of
that
plan
that
was
adopted
by
City
Council
in
January
of
2022,
some
things
that
have
gone
on
related
to
implementation
of
Pathways.
That
includes
funding
for
some
pathway,
projects
of
a
real
potential
and
a
place
where
we're
excited
to
continue
the
work
the
city's
already
started
is
is
on
the
Garden
Street
cassia
effort,
which
is
exciting.
For
many
reasons.
L
The
city's
been
working
on
the
the
canal
there.
That
would
connect
the
park
with
the
neighborhood
south
of
there
for
a
number
of
years
and
has
gotten
funding
for
that
through
Federal
grant
program
with
the
assistance
of
compass,
and
so
that's
wonderful,
but
it's
also
just
part
of
a
bigger
Network
on
the
bench.
L
You
know
the
achd
has
a
a
plan
to
and
they're
starting
their
execution
of
improvements
to
Garden
Street,
which
of
course
connects
you
to
ultimately
with
this
Improvement
to
the
canal,
to
the
park
to
cassia
Park,
but
then
South
all
the
way
to
the
the
green
belt.
It's
it
exemplifies
a
lot
of
what
the
pathways
plan
is
about
and
there's
potential
beyond
the
park
going
north
to
continue
that
extension
and
connect
many
things
on
the
neck.
So
that's
an
on
the
on
the
bench.
So
that's
an
exciting
one.
L
We
have,
since
the
adoption
of
the
pathways
plan,
been
requiring
dedication
of
Pathways
or
easements
through
private
development.
This
is
something
the
planning
department,
of
course,
is
responsible,
for
we
have
some
exciting
examples
of
that,
including,
but
not
limited
to
what
you
saw
on
the
bench
on
Victory
Road
earlier
this
year
and
late
last
year.
I've
got
an
image
of
that
coming
up,
but
that's
a
nice
example
of
the
way
in
which
we're
incorporating
Pathways
into
private
development,
as
individual
developers
are
giving
us
plans
for
development
in
the
city.
We
are
for
the
first
time.
A
And
Tim
on
that
I'd
say
too
that
you
know
that's
an
important
highlight
for
Council
since
Council
approved
this,
the
no
the
no
Pathways
be
pushing
with
development.
In
fact,
it
was
we're
on
Tuesday.
So
just
last
night,
another
development
at
planning
and
zoning
commission
agreed
to
install
a
pathway
easement
along
the
railroad,
so
we're
building
out
the
network,
because
we
now
have
this
Vision
that
encourages
others
to
participate
in
it.
L
That
thank
you
mayor.
That's
an
underappreciated
element
of
the
pathways
plan,
the
impetus
that
has
provided
to
start
making
these
connections
all
over
the
city
as
each
individual
development
comes
together.
It's
like
these
individual
puzzle
pieces
coming
together,
one
by
one.
In
addition,
we'll
now
have
this.
L
This
will
be
coming
to
Council,
of
course,
in
June,
of
course,
a
new
modern
zoning
code,
which
includes
a
requirement
around
Pathways,
there's
a
section
of
this
new
code
entitled
development
and
design
standards,
which
includes
a
section
on
multi-use
Pathways
which
didn't
exist
before
so
incorporating
it
into
our
zoning
code,
moving
on
design
and
implementation
of
the
pathways
plan,
and
then,
of
course,
our
new
mobility
in
public
spaces
team
within
planning.
We
test
us
here
as
the
leader
of
that
group.
L
L
Regarding
that
program,
this
is
our
team
within
planning
to
work
on
mobility
in
public
spaces,
and
that
includes,
most
importantly,
the
pathways
program,
which
has
various
elements
to
it,
including
continuation,
mostly
focused
on
implementation
of
the
pathways
that
we
are
currently
working
on,
but
then
also
expansion
of
the
pathway
system,
working
with
our
critical
Partners,
like
parks
and
achd,
on
implementation
of
the
program,
but
also
really
building
out
a
community
engagement
program
around
the
pathways.
This
should
be
something,
as
you
know,
that
the
community
celebrates
as
it
does,
the
trails
and
the
Foothills.
L
L
It
really
builds
off
the
green
belt
as
the
main
spine,
of
course,
so
seeking
to
make
connections
to
the
Greenville
Greenbelt
get
people
connected
to
the
green
belt
throughout
the
city,
no
matter
what
corner
of
the
city
you
live
in,
we've
got
opportunities
for
this,
and
it
would.
It
would
involve
a
variety
of
connections.
You
know
that
would
involve.
L
We've
got
to
be
creative
about
how
we
make
these
connections
and
but
the
the
point
is
to
is
to
create
you
know
smaller
Connections
in
neighborhoods
to
get
people
around
their
neighborhood,
but
it's
also
these
bigger
connections
that
are
similar
to
the
green
belt,
in
the
sense
that
they're
they're,
like
the
main,
the
main
roads
or
the
the
main
Pathways
that
get
get
people
between
different
parts
of
the
city.
So
many
opportunities
for
this
in
Boise.
L
And
with
regard
to
implementation,
prioritizing
connectivity-
and
this
involves,
of
course,
on
this
list
here-
connecting
people
to
whether
it's
a
public
thing
like
a
library
or
park
or
places
they
need
to
get
like
shopping
or
schools.
All
these
things,
how
we,
how
we
prioritize
projects
that
are
creating
that
connectivity
and
safety
for
people
outside
the
car
and
that
we're
doing
it
equitably
as
I
said
kind
of
being
creative
about
how
we
do
these
things.
L
You
know,
there's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
about
the
canals
which
are
in
such
an
important
part
of
this.
You
know
how
that
is.
We
have
Canal
company
partners
that
we
takes
time
to
work
with
and-
and
these
are
very
important
parts
of
the
system,
but
we've
got
to
be
open
to
other
ways
to
get
around,
and
sometimes
that's
Parks,
sometimes
it's
streets.
L
All
of
those
things
need
to
be
part
of
the
solution
and
part
of
the
network
here
and
then,
as
I
said,
you
know
this
community
engagement,
part
of
it,
is
really
seeking
to
have
a
whole
program
around
celebrating
each
each
segment
of
the
system
as
they
come
on
board
and
building
momentum
around
the
community
support
for
this,
and
that
includes
meaningful
engagement
with
with
everybody
neighborhood
associations
that
we
have
in
the
city.
Other
organizations
that
care
about
this
individuals.
L
L
Sorry
you've
got
the
rendering
on
top
and
also
the
kind
of
cross
section
on
the
bottom,
which
show
the
pathway
on
Victory
itself
on
the
bottom,
but
then
also
at
the
back
of
these
sites,
a
pathway,
the
developers
in
this
case
really
designed
their
new
new
neighborhoods
around
that
pathway
really
embraced
the
design
of
the
pathways
integral
to
kind
of
the
public
realm
within
these
neighborhoods,
which
is
exactly
what
we
want.
We
don't
you
know.
Ideally
it
becomes
part
of
the
fabric
of
the
city.
C
Can
you
talk
to
me
a
little
bit
about
the
plan
for
signage
because
oftentimes
there
are
ways
to
get
places
that
aren't
on
Main
arteriors
if
you
have,
if
you're,
walking
or
biking,
but
you
don't
know
that
they're
there.
If
you
don't
know
that
they're
there.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
and
maybe
that's
what
this
new
person
is
going
to
do
to?
Let
people
know
there's
a
way
to
get
around.
L
Mayor
councilmember
Willits
you
hit
on
an
important
Point
here,
which
is
kind
of
way
finding
or
knowing
where
to
go,
and
certainly
there's
a
going
to
be
a
huge
effort,
as
part
of
that
I
think
that's
one
of
our
opportunities
in
terms
of
kind
of
establishing
the
identity
of
these
Pathways
in
the
city,
which
we
really
haven't
done
yet
you
know
seeking
to
with
yes
with
our
leadership
now
that
we'll
have
within
PDS
among
the
things
that
we'll
be
doing-
and
this
relates
directly
to
community
support
for
and
the
celebration
that
we
have
around
these
Pathways
is
what
you're
speaking
to
council
member.
L
You
know
that
people
know
how
to
get
about,
and
signage
is
going
to
be
critical
to
that,
and,
ideally
the
signage
is
designed
as
part
of
an
overall
package
that
helps
identify
Pathways
as
such
a
special.
You
know
you
think
about
the
interstate
highway
system
years
ago,
that
and
fascinating.
You
know
graphic
design
challenge
around
signage,
as
it
relates
to
those
things.
It's
a
similar
case
here.
L
We
really
want
to
brand
the
in
Boise
this
alternative
to
driving
the
pathway
system
and
how
it
connects
to
neighborhoods
and
how
it
gets
you
places
you
need
to
go
and
use
the
signage
as
one
of
the
vehicles
for
really
identifying
Pathways
in
a
substantial
way
and
then
next
steps.
So
we,
as
I
said
we've
got
our
our
Pathways
person
beginning
this
month.
L
So
you'll
hear
a
lot
more
from
us
about
this,
always
looking
at
funding
and
and
ways
in
which
we
can
seed
funding
to
the
city
to
help
us
secure
other
funds,
whether
it's
through
local
government,
Partners
or
Federal,
grant
programs
that
are
available
so
funding
will
be
a
big
part
of
what
we're
seeking
to
pursue
in
Earnest
coordination.
I
think
you
know
the
this
issue
that
that
we're
seeking
to
really
bring
together,
everybody
that
has
a
stake
in
this
and
has
a
role
in
it.
L
City
Departments,
of
course
Parks
most
especially
but
other
partner
agencies
and
we'll
just
have
a
much
better,
much
better
capacity
to
do.
The
coordination
that's
needed.
That
cassia
case
is
such
a
good
one,
with
Garden,
Street
and
and
then
what's
possible
kind
of
south
of
the
park,
and
that's
going
to
require
a
lot
of
coordination
which
we
we
know.
We
need
to
do
a
much
better
job
of,
and
we're
excited
to
have
the
people
that
we
need
to
do
that,
and
also
with
the
community
outreach.
L
F
L
G
Getting
married,
I
figured
somebody
else
would
have
a
question
first.
Maybe
one
will
pop
up
I've
got
some
questions,
I
think
about
Community,
Outreach
and
I.
G
Think
we
maybe
have
a
good
example
of
one
of
the
things
that
were
a
requests
for
reconsideration
later
tonight
from
our
our
Northwest
Boise
neighborhood
association,
when
we're
doing
Outreach
like
how
do
you
envision
that
lookie
and
how
do
neighbors
or
neighborhoods
have
an
opportunity
to
to
identify
where
a
pathway
is
going
to
go
what
it
looks
like
so
that
we
can
kind
of
create
a
little
more
predictability
for
them
on
when
it
might
take
place
or
what
it
might
look
like.
Well,.
L
I
think
the
the
effort
we
have
around
neighborhoods
and
just
Community
engagement
in
general
is
just
going
to
expand
into
areas.
We
can't
entirely
foresee
right
now,
but
what
we
would
expect
is
that
we
are
regularly
engaging
with
neighborhoods,
especially
those
where
we've
got
priority,
Pathways
that
we're
seeking
to
pursue
so
that
we're
with
them
constantly
talking
about
these
things.
I
mean
it's:
it's
not
going
to
be
treated
like
a
development
project
that
we
see
you
once
every
few
years
about.
L
It
needs
to
be
something
that
we're
building
a
program
around
Community
engagement
and
people's
involvement
in
the
implementation
of
Pathways,
but
also
their
kind
of
celebration
of
them
I
mean.
So
all
that
we're
talking
about
is
creating
this
whole
Community
engagement
program,
that
is,
is
commenter
it
with
the
the
importance
of
this
program
to
this
community
and
so
I'm,
not
I'm
council
member,
Halliburton,
I'm
trying
not
to
get
too
specific
just
because
I
think
any
any
suggestion
that
you
have
or
any
council
member
of
course
has.
We
want
to
full.
L
We
want
to
incorporate
into
this,
but
I
also
don't
want
to
limit
us.
We
see
this
as
a
big
effort
around
Community
involvement
in
support
for
and
celebration
around.
The
growing
of
this
system.
G
Tim,
thank
you
for
the
answer
there.
One
of
the
things
that
I
really
like
about
what
you
said
earlier
was
sort
of
this
envisioning
process
of
what
it's
going
to
look
like,
because
I
think
that's
sort
of
one
of
the
challenges
is
that
we
are
having
this
great
success
in
piece
by
piece
as
a
development
comes
in,
we
get
a
section
of
that
pathway
in,
but
we
don't
exactly
know
what
the
overall
vision
of
that
particular
pathway
is
going
to
look
like
so
in
in
their
circumstance.
G
You
know
related
to
the
reconsideration
tonight.
We've
got
a
proposal
going
forward
and
we've
we're
telling
them
that
they
need
to
put
in
a
pathway,
but
we
don't
necessarily
know
exactly
what
we
want
that
pathway
to
look
like.
Yet
in
this
particular
neighborhood.
You
know
a
nice
paved
pathway,
might
work
really
well
or
like
a
compacted
gravel
pathway.
G
You
know
the
horses
could
ride
on,
might
also
work
kind
of
well
and
so
I
think
that
that's
where
you
know
I'm
running
into
a
little
bit
of
challenges
with
folks
is
that
people
want
to
know
sort
of
like
what
is
this
pathway
going
to
look
like
in
my
particular
neighborhood?
It
might
look
different
from
place
to
place,
and
you
know
one
of
our
department
does
such
a
great
job.
With
that
you
know,
is
there
parks
and
rec
department
I?
G
Think
about
you
know
when
Primrose
Park
was
proposed
in
the
medium
where
we
sit
down,
and
we
talk
about
this
is
how
much
funds
we've
got
available
for
this
thing.
So
here's
some
of
the
amenities
we
might
want
to
have,
and
what
do
you
want
to
see
it?
Look
like
and
I
I
just
get
the
feeling
that
people
are
going
to
be
so
excited
when
it
comes
to
that
opportunity
to
kind
of
engage
in
that
visioning
project
and
I
think
you've
got.
F
A
Coordinator
and
you
know,
I
think
I.
What
I
really
liked
saying
to
was
the
the
overall
map
with
the
green
belt
in
the
middle,
because
it
really
was
a
vision
of
connecting
pretty
much
farmlands
to
Foothills
But,
ultimately
to
the
green
belt.
First,
they
got
this
conversation
going
about
Pathways
and
and
as
council
member
Willits
pointed
out,
it's
not
just
along
the
canals
or
places
through
neighborhoods,
too,
and
so
I
appreciated
the
suggestion
that
we
all
look
to
and
likely
fund
at
some
point
in
the
future.
A
A
We
will
move
into
the
float
and
safety
plan,
there's
been
quite
a
bit
of
collaboration
between
the
county
parks
department
and
our
parks
department
on
this,
and
just
while
they're
setting
up
I
will
continue
to
urge
the
public
to
please
stay
off
the
river
and
away
from
the
river.
K
Yeah,
thank
you,
madam
Merritt.
That's
exactly
how
I
was
going
to
start
this
presentation
because
and
it's
the
perfect
intro,
because
you're
going
to
see
a
lot
of
beautiful
pictures
of
people
floating
the
Boise
River
The
Branding
we've
put
together
for
this
really
new
campaign
that
we've
created
over
the
last
nine
months,
and
my
name
is
Bonnie
Shelton
I'm,
the
communications
and
marketing
superintendent
for
Boise,
Parks
and
Recreation
and
I
stand
Here
representing
a
much
larger
group
of
stakeholders
and
partners
who
have
been
working
on
this.
As
I
said
really
for
nine
months.
I
know.
K
Some
of
you
are
probably
very
excited
to
see
this
update
because
there's
been
a
lot
of
discussions
happening,
especially
after
the
season
that
we
had
last
year.
It
was
so
busy
so
today
we're
going
to
give
you
an
overview
of
what
we've
put
together.
The
new
website
and
tools
that
have
been
created
and
then
Boise
fire
is
going
to
give
an
update
on
current
conditions
and
kind
of
the
Outlook
that
were
thinking
we're
going
to
see
for
the
rest
of
this
year.
K
So
to
start
just
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
background.
I
mentioned
I
represent
a
much
larger
team.
The
main
lead
agencies
that
are
a
part
of
this
float,
the
Boise
River
kind
of
activity
is
Ada,
County,
Parks
and
waterways
and
I
know
Scott
Coburg
is
here
the
director
of
Ada,
County,
Parks
and
waterways.
K
K
The
dive
team
is
on
the
river
doing
rescues
whenever
they
get
a
call
for
service,
and
we
have
Representatives
Chief
Niemeyer
and
his
team
are
here
today
and
then
director
Holloway
as
well
we've
all
kind
of
been
talking
putting
these
things
together
and
coming
up
with
what
you
see
in
that
description
at
the
bottom
of
this
slide,
if
you're
familiar
with
the
ridge,
Rivers
partnership
I
also
oversee
Communications,
for
that
a
lot
of
this
is
modeled
the
same
way
that
we've
found
success
with
Ridge
Rivers.
K
It's
a
multi-agency
partnership,
overseeing
a
recreation
activity
that
everyone
enjoys,
and
so
you'll
see
a
lot
mimicked
in
what
we're
proposing
for
kind
of
this
new
Outreach
campaign
for
the
Boise
River
as
well,
and
then
you
see
the
new
logo,
there
float
the
Boise,
we
worked
with
Community
engagement.
All
of
this
work
was
done
in-house
by
the
way,
with
the
talent
and
expertise
that
we
have
here
at
the
city
and
at
the
county,
which
I
think
is
really
cool
and
just
shows
kind
of
the
power
that
we
have
when
we
all
come
together.
K
It's
consistent,
it's
colorful,
eye-catching
recognizable
and
again
we
wanted
the
public
to
see
this
and
know.
This
is
official
information
coming
from
these
entities
about
floating
the
Boise
River,
so
we're
going
to
dive
in.
We
have
a
brand
new
website.
It's
live
now.
It's
called
floattheboise.org
and
there
is
a
story
map
that
I
want
to
demo.
For
you
and
Chloe
salabanks
is
my
right-hand
woman.
K
She
shepherded
this
through,
while
I
was
on
maternity
leave
and
I
got
to
come
back
and
just
kind
of
put
a
bow
on
everything
and
show
it
to
you
today
and
I
hope.
I've
embarrassed
her
as
much
as
I
was
intending
to
so
this
is
the
new
website.
I
have
to
give
Joanna
zibol,
who
is
an
analyst
she's,
a
rock
star
with
Boise
fire
and
chief
Niemeyer
just
said:
go,
and
she
built
this
entire
platform
that
you
are
about
to
see.
You'll
notice,
we
have
all
of
the
dangerous
river
condition
information.
K
We
can
update
this
at
a
moment's
notice.
So
when
that
was
put
into
effect,
we
put
all
of
these
banners
on.
We
updated
the
information
on
the
page,
and
our
goal
was
really
to
create
One
Source,
a
One-Stop
shop
where
people
can
go
and
get
all
the
information
they
may
need,
rather
than
having
to
go
to
Ada
County's
website
for
shuttle,
information,
Parks
and
Recreation
for
the
take
out
just
sending
them
to
different
agencies.
Now
it's
all
in
one
place
coordinated
good
to
go.
K
So
we're
going
to
take
a
look
at
the
interactive
map
and,
if
you're
familiar
with
the
ridge
to
Rivers
interactive
map,
this
works
very
similarly,
so
you
can
go
down
the
Boise
River
from
Barber
Park
to
Ann
Morrison,
and
you
can
click
on
the
different
hazards,
the
known
hazards
that
are
in
the
river.
It
also
shows
Bridges.
K
It
shows
the
diversion
dams
or
Rapids
that
you
will
encounter
when
you're
floating,
so
that
really
you
can
be
prepared
for
what
you're
going
to
encounter,
rather
than
just
blowing
up
your
unicorn
or
donut
or
whatever
it
is
that
we
see
people
floating
with
that
we
really
try
to
discourage.
We
want
people
to
understand
this
is
a
wild
Scenic
River
that
you
will
be
encountering
unknown
hazards,
potentially,
while
you're
out
there
so
preparing
them.
K
They've
really
done
a
great
job
of
putting
all
of
their
expertise
and
knowledge
into
this
one
tool,
and
we
can,
as
I
mentioned,
update
this
in
the
moment
so
this
summer,
if
they
find
something
new,
the
dive
team
has
access
and
can
literally
be
on
the
banks
adding
something
to
this
map.
It
comes
to
the
communications
team
and
we
can
share
that
information
with
the
public.
So
it's
really
iterative.
K
It's
a
super
cool
technology
that
we
were
already
using
in
the
city
that
now
we've
applied
to
floating
the
Boise
River
and
then
the
guided
tour
is
the
other
thing
that
I
wanted
to
point
out.
This
is
just
a
little
bit
different
in
that
it's
scrollable,
so
you
can
basically
float
the
river
on
your
phone
and
see
all
of
the
different
hazards
that
you
will
encounter.
K
We
still
have
a
couple
photos
to
put
up
we'll
have
to
do
that
when
the
river
goes
down
and
flow
a
little
bit,
but
just
another
way
that
we
can
visually
show
people
hey
here's
what
you're
going
to
encounter.
This
is
why
you
need
to
wear
good
shoes.
This
is
why
we
recommend
a
life
jacket,
even
if
you're
over
14
years
old,
just
something
that
people
can
get
that
visual
connection
to
what
they're
about
to
experience
and
I.
K
Think
for
visitors
coming
to
the
city
who
have
never
seen
our
River
before
but
want
to
take
part
in
this
summer
tradition.
This
is
a
really
great
way
to
kind
of
get
their
feet
wet.
If
you
will
there's
just
so
many
boating
and
floating
punts
that
come
along
with
this
presentation,
so
I
apologize,
just
kind
of
comes
out
and
then
I'd
encourage
you.
This
website,
as
I
mentioned,
is
live
now,
so
please
go
and
explore
we're
going
to
be
slowly
rolling
it
out
to
the
community.
K
Obviously,
with
the
caveat
that
the
river
is
not
safe
for
floating
really
at
any
time,
but
especially
right
now,
it's
something
that
you
need
to
take
very
seriously.
We've
put
current
condition
information
because
we
get
the
question
a
lot.
Well,
what
is
it
at
right
now
and
how
does
that
compare
to
normal
flows?
So
we've
made
that
very
obvious
we're
clearly
well
above
what
normal
flows
would
be
considered
before
the
Riven
River
would
open
for
floating
and
then
safety
checklist
parking
and
rentals.
All
that
good
stuff.
C
Madam
mayor,
yes,
one
of
the
things
that
we
thank
you
yeah.
This
looks
great
and
I
love
the
logo.
One
of
the
things
that
we
talked
about
with
the
county
is
some
sort
of
live
parking
metric,
particularly
at
Barber
Park,
because
we
know
that
there's
overflow
there
it
can
get
really
new.
C
It
can
become
a
nuisance
for
the
neighbors
and
you
know
kind
of
like
what
we
do
at
the
airport.
Is
that
going
to
have
the
opportunity
to
be
on
the
parking
rental
site,
Madame.
K
Mayor
and
council
member
Willits-
that
is
definitely
something
that
we're
looking
into
I.
Think
the
good
news
is.
We
have
this
platform
now
and
now
it's
just
a
matter
of
creating
what
will
be
the
most
useful
for
the
community
and
I
think
with
the
communications
channels
that
we
have
now
it'll
be
super
easy
for
us
to
communicate
with
the
county.
When
they're
seeing
Barbara
Park
fill
up,
we
can
quickly
update
the
website.
K
K
Madame,
mayor
council,
member
Willits
I
think
we're
going
to
try
to
bite
off
just
as
much
as
we
can
for
this
first
season
and
then
we're
going
to
be
meeting
weekly
during
the
season.
Talking
about
things
that
we
can
improve,
I
would
think.
Maybe
my
goal
and
I'd
have
to
talk
with
the
team
would
be.
Maybe
that
would
be
something
that
we
do
next
year
and
have
available
just
as
we
look
at
some
different
Technologies,
but
because
the
airport's
already
doing
it,
I
can
talk
to
my
counterparts
there
and
see
how
that
all
works.
Yeah.
K
And
then
this
was
just
a
hit
home
that
we
designed
this
website
with
mobile
compatibility
in
mind.
We
know
that
most
people
are
going
to
be
accessing
this,
while
they're
in
line
to
rent
their
raft
or
while
they're
on
the
shuttle
bus,
and
so
it
is
a
really
great
experience
and
we've
made
sure
that
there's
not
too
much
text
that
you
can
scroll
through
and
everything
loads
and
it
looks
really
nice
so
Joanna
she's
the
best
and
then
Communications
tools
and
channels.
So
obviously
you've
seen
the
main
website.
K
We
are
also
putting
together
a
coordinated
social
media
plan
because
we
think
a
lot
of
the
people
that
we're
trying
to
get
the
safety
information
to
are
the
ones
using
Instagram,
especially
so
we've
created
a
new
Instagram
that
will
go
hand
in
hand
with
the
float.
The
Boise
River
Facebook
page.
That
Ada
County
has
already
had
success
with
we'll
be
sharing
communication
across
those
two
channels
that
is
very
similar
will
be
in
coordination
throughout
the
year.
K
A
lot
like,
if
you've,
seen
how
we
do
the
Boise
Whitewater
Park,
just
giving
updates
across
both
channels,
so
whether
you
follow
us
on
each
or
still
getting
the
same
official
information
and
it's
such
a
visual,
medium
I
think
it'll
do
really
well
with
the
public
and
we
can
have
them
share
photos
and
images
with
us
when
they're
in
that
fun
portion
of
the
Season
that
we
can
use,
because
this
is
such
a
popular
Pastime
here
in
Boise,
we
want
people
to
have
fun
as
well
and
be
safe,
and
then
the
media
is
a
big
partner
in
this.
K
We
share
a
lot
of
information
with
them
and
hope
that
they
then
share
it
with
their
audiences.
So
news
releases
regular
interview,
availability,
especially
ahead
of
the
weekend.
We
know
that
a
lot
of
times.
This
is
something
that
they
cover
on
those,
maybe
what
are
considered
off
days
but
trying
to
make
it
easier
for
them
to
connect
with
us
and
get
the
most
up-to-date
information.
Psas
and
safety
reminders.
K
Covid
made
QR
codes,
so
popular
we're
going
to
try
to
capitalize
on
that
and
get
people
where
they
are
in
both
parks
and
then
we're
also
going
to
be
adding
a
hazard
photo
gallery
and
in
River
videos,
as
I
mentioned
throughout
the
season,
just
to
continue
that
visual
representation
of
what
people
will
encounter,
and
these
are
the
signs
that
we
put
together
so
far
on
the
left.
You'll
see
a
magnet
that
will
go
on
the
shuttle
buses.
K
So
hopefully
we
can
capture
people
while
they're
on
their
ride
from
Ann
Morrison
to
Barber
Park
to
float
or
maybe
afterwards
they
want
to
check
out.
What
was
that
that
I
encountered
or
how
can
I
avoid
that
next
time?
And
then
the
know
before
you
go
messaging
is
really
the
signage
that
will
be
in
Barber
Park
and
at
Ann
Morrison
just
trying
to
get
people
before
they
hit
the
river
just
so
they
have
some
knowledge
about
what
they're
going
to
encounter
and
then
lead
up
to
opening
day
and
in
season
updates.
K
I
swear
every
may
we
get
questions.
When
is
the
river
opening?
When
can
I
float?
It
is
like
clockwork,
and
so
we
really
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
capitalize
on
that
interest,
to
get
these
new
tools
out
to
the
community
and
then
start
reminding
them
about
how
they
can
prepare
to
have
a
safe
fun
float
on
the
Boise
River.
K
So
we
will
be
working
with
our
partners
throughout
this
group
just
to
continue
a
slow
and
steady
role
until
we
do
get
to
the
point
where
it
is,
you
know
a
possibility
that
the
River
float
season
will
start
and
we'll
do
a
coordinated
announcement
about
that
and
really
work
to
get
the
community
prepared
and
then
consistent
web
and
social
media
updates.
As
I
mentioned,
we're
going
to
be
highly
coordinated
and
then,
if
you've
seen
our
Rich
Rivers
muddy
trail
reports
that
we
started
doing.
K
This
was
a
targeted
way
to
just
try
and
get
people
right
before
a
weekend
or
a
time
when
we
really
are
anticipating
bad
conditions
that
could
deteriorate
quickly.
We
would
put
together
just
a
quick
report
that
had
some
pictures,
maybe
video
send
it
to
our
Media
Partners
post
it
on
our
website
and
it's
been
very
successful
in
helping
spread
the
message
about
how
people
can
use
the
trails
responsibly
and
we
feel,
like
that's,
a
really
good
fit
for
the
information
we're
going
to
be
sharing
here
about
the
river.
K
So
we'll
continue
with
that
and
then
I
did
just
want
to
mention
we're
coordinating
with
additional
stakeholders
as
well.
So
itd
is
a
big
partner
in
this
Boise.
Fire
would
really
love
to
get
some
additional
wayfinding
signs
on
those
bridges
where
they
had
a
majority
of
rescue
calls.
Last
year.
Broadway
Bridge
is
one
of
those,
so
we've
been
trying
to
see
how
we
could
potentially
make
that
happen.
There's
a
lot
more.
B
I,
don't
have
any
questions
I
just
want
to
commend
everyone.
Thank
you
for
coming
and
thank
you.
I
mean
Scott
has
been
involved.
This
whole
time.
I.
Remember
these
very
early
meetings
that
we
had
with
Ada
County
and
council
member
bajent
and
we're
all
in
this
room
talking
through
parking
issues
in
Barber,
Valley
and
just
to
see
how
far
this
collaboration
has
come
is
really
cool.
I.
Think
it's
going
to
be
a
wonderful
tool
for
our
residents.
B
It's
going
to
make
it
so
that
people
can
still
have
fun
on
the
river
in
a
way.
That's
more
safe
I
was
dismayed
to
see
that
there
were
paddle
boarders
on
the
river
without
life
jackets
on,
because
every
paddle
boarder
should
be
wearing
a
life
jacket
on
the
river
so
dangerous,
but
this
will
be
a
really
great
tool
for
us.
I
hope
that
it
results
in
a
safer
float
season
for
everyone,
because
it
is
one
of
the
things
that
we
all
love
most
about.
B
Living
in
Boise
is
having
an
accessible
River
and
having
that
Recreation.
So
I
just
want
to
give
my
kudos
well
done.
I
hope
everyone
follows
you
on
social
media
and
gets
all
these
great
updates
and
thanks
to
our
Media
Partners
for
helping
us
get
the
word
out.
E
Think
the
ridge
Rivers
is
such
a
great
source
of
information
that
I
use
very
frequently,
and
so
I
love
that
this
is
a
similar
type
resource
that
we
can
use
for
the
for
the
Boise,
River
and
I
I
love
the
the
logos
and
the
development
of
all
that
I
think
it's
great,
for
you
know
just
being
able
to
catch
the
attention
of
our
community
and
to
hopefully
both
Elevate
the
safety
issues,
but
also
really
kind
of
highlight
this
really
important
aspect
of
kind
of
getting
getting
into
into
Boise
during
this
season.
K
G
Ben
Mary
job
well
done.
This
is
awesome
to
see
it's
great,
to
see
everybody
coming
together.
I,
remember
those
conversations
as
well
I
think
council,
member
Beijing,
maybe
made
the
the
motion
of
like
yes,
Council
direction
is
for
you
three
to
combine
and
start
working
together
and
figuring
out
more
of
a
joint
way
to
do
this,
and
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
I
just
became
your
fourth
follower
on
Instagram
and
I.
Remember.
G
I
think
I
think
I'm
just
your
fourth
at
this
point,
but
we'll
maybe
there's
more
already
I
do
remember.
Welcome.
A
G
Meeting,
thank
you.
One
of
the
things
that
we
talked
about
or
I
talked
about
and
joked
about
was
no
more
unicorns
on
the
river
and
floating
uniforms.
Yes,
yeah
the
floating,
the
inflatable
unicorns
on
the
river
and
somebody
published
it.
It
wasn't.
Boise,
Dev
and
I
got
a
bunch
of
pushback
on
Instagram
about
banning
unicorn
floats
from
the
river,
but
it
is
a
concern.
K
Madame
mayor
and
Council
Pro,
tem,
Hallie
Burton
completely
agree
it's
fun
to
joke
about
it,
and
obviously
you
see
that
a
ton
once
the
float
season
opens
and
I,
don't
think
we'll
ever
curb
that
completely,
but
I
do
think
we
can
make
some
videos
and
really
show
the
public
why
that
is
not
a
safe
Choice.
It
just
makes
paddling
difficult
trying
to
hit
some
of
those
currents
that
you
need
to
hit
to
stay
out
of
the
trees.
K
I
think
that's
where
I'll
lean
on
our
Boise
fire
experts
to
help
with
a
lot
of
the
PSAs
and
things
that
we
can
put
together
using
these
channels
that
I
think
we
can
eventually
get
some
more
buy-in
on.
Why
the
just
not
the
best
route
and
not
the
safest
route
on
the
river.
So
I
hear
you
and
I
completely
agree.
Yeah.
G
And
Madam
mayor
just
follow
up
there
I'm
concerned
about
the
danger
I'm
also
concerned
about
how
full
that
trailer,
full
of
plastic
is
at
the
end
of
every
single
floating
day,
and
so
any
sort
of
awareness,
I
think
that
we
can
do
there
about
the
amount
of
stuff
that
we're
adding
to
the
landfill
and
the
bottom
of
the
river
on
a
daily
floating
Base
by
some
of
just
the
you
know
absolute
garbage
that
people
are
being
sold
to
float
down
the
river
with,
so
that
that
awareness
is
great
but
again
I
don't
want
to
end
on
a
negative
note.
G
K
Not
America
Council,
Pro,
Tim,
Halley
Burton
I
also
wanted
to
mention
that
we
are
working
on
increasing
the
amount
of
life
jackets
that
are
available
to
people,
so
there
have
been
stations
added
at
Barber,
Park
there'll
be
a
station
at
in
Morrison,
where
you
can
drop
it
off
and
we're
just
going
to
try
to
tie
that
all
into
our
messaging
as
well
to
increase
safety
and
I'm
glad
you
guys,
like
the
logo,
because,
honestly,
we
don't
want
to
take
the
fun
out
of
it.
K
A
I
I
just
had
one
question
you
might
have
covered
this
I
mean
I'm,
not
a
web
person,
but
when
I
think
about
where
to
get
information
when
I
go
outside
I
think
Ridge
to
Rivers,
so
like
people
that
have
been
here
forever,
with
Ridge
to
Rivers,
might
Google
Ridge
to
Rivers.
For
this,
will
there
be
kind
of
cross-linking
and
branding
like
if
I
go
to
Ridge
Rivers
can
I
see
a
place
to
click,
float
the
river.
K
Madame
mayor,
that's
a
great
idea.
We
definitely
can
I
think
that's
the
great
part
about
owning
all
of
these
resources
is
we
can
cross
promote
and
then
the
reason
we
chose
float
the
boise.org
is
we
wanted
that
Google,
analytics
and
SEO,
because
that's
exactly
what
people
are
going
to
search
and
we
want
ours
to
be
the
first
thing
that
they
see
since
there
are
so
many
groups
and
blogs
and
people
who
are
putting
out
information,
but
not
from
an
official
source.
K
H
Madam
mayor
council,
my
name
is
Paul
Robertson,
the
division
chief
of
Special
Operations
for
Boise
fire
department
and
I'll
cover
this
single
slide
with
you.
All,
first
and
foremost,
I've
been
doing
this
for
a
while
and
kudos
to
Courtney
Washburn
Steve
Rutherford,
who
kicked
a
lot
of
this
meeting
off
with
Scott
kohlberg
and
others
at
the
table.
Stakeholders
that
put
the
momentum
behind
this
to
do
a
lot
of
work
and
some
of
those
people
have
already
been
mentioned
and
I
appreciate
your
recognition
of
the
hard
work.
H
There's
been
a
tremendous
amount
of
effort
put
into
making
this
float
season
a
safer
float
season
as
we
approach
it,
ironically,
that
we
happen
to
be
at
a
flood
stage
or
near
a
flood
stage
at
the
moment.
Currently
the
river's
flowing
just
around
6
000
CFS,
and
that
water
remains
very
fast.
It's
very
cold.
There's
a
lot
of
debris
in
there
there's
a
lot
of
unseen
strainers
so
that
provoked
the
dangerous
river
condition
posting
on
or
about
April
28th.
H
What
the
water
temperature,
it's
roughly
in
the
40s,
so
given
a
cold
water
temperature
like
that,
even
a
very
qualified
professional
swimmer
can
get
in
trouble
very
quickly
losing
their
mobile
mobility
and
dexterity.
So
that's
a
cautionary
in
in
itself
and
that
the
water
is
so
cold.
As
I
mentioned.
There's
a
lot
of
debris,
that's
unseen,
strainers
that
are
on
stream
scene.
So
again
that
reinforces
the
dangerous
river
condition
that
we
posted
I'm
just
going.
A
To
ask
strainers
in
regular
people
talk
yeah.
H
Strainers
would
be
much
like
a
screen:
that's
underwater
water
passes
through
it,
but
things
people
objects
don't,
and
so
if
people
get
swept
underwater
and
there's
a
strainer,
underwater
or
even
above
water,
they
got
caught
up
in
that
because
they
can't
pass
through.
So
that
would
be
the
term
strainer
Madame
mayor.
H
The
official
announcement
of
float
season
will
come
as
Bonnie
mentioned
as
a
coordinated
effort
and
a
lot
of
that
comes
from
Scott
kohlberg
and
the
rental
opportunities
that
they
have
up
there
and
when
it's
the
appropriate
time
to
execute
the
opening.
But
again
we'll
reinforce
or
I'll
reinforce
that.
As
we
all
know,
the
river
is
at
a
very
dangerous
State
at
6
000
CFS
we're
about
a
thousand
below
the
7
000
flood
stage
level,
and
it
is
not
an
ideal
Condition.
H
H
The
river
always
remains
cold,
so
it's
always
a
cold
body
of
water
because
of
that
water
coming
out
of
Lucky
Peak
and
at
the
lower
levels
of
that
Reservoir.
But
we
really
look
for
water
levels
somewhere
in
the
neighborhood
of
1500,
ideally
1200,
CFS
and
below
and
Scott
kohlberg
takes
those
into
account.
So
we
start
hitting
that
1500
CFS.
We
really
start
talking
about
a
communication
plan
about
opening
the
river.
B
Mayor
great
job,
everyone
I
am
hoping
that
we
have
a
much
safer
season
than
we
had
last
year.
I
know
that
last
year
we
had
quite
a
few
dangerous
situations
and
a
lot
of
police
or
a
lot
of
fire
response
time
spent
on
the
river
at
a
great
cost.
To
both
you
know
our
budget
and
also
your
safety.
So,
let's,
let's
hope
for
a
better
year
this
year,.
A
All
right
with
that,
we
don't
have
exact,
so
we
will
recess
until
six
o'clock
thanks
everybody.
