They
are
thinking
of
boiseans
and
just
know
that
folks
are
with
us
for
us
and
waiting
for
the
right
time
to
care
for
and
those
members
of
our
community
who
are
deeply
hurting,
and
I
will
close
with
thanking
all
that
have
stepped
up
all
who
did
unspeakable
and
things
they
didn't
know
that
they
could
do
yesterday
and
thank
our
first
responders
for
responding
and
caring
for
those
that
needed
it
when
they
needed
it
amen
to
each
of
you
for
stepping
up.
Thank
you.
C
E
This
is
not
something
any
of
us
ever
expected
to
have
happen
here,
even
though
we
knew
it
was
possible,
even
though
in
this
world,
in
the
way
that
we
are
living
in
this
world,
it's
always
possible
and
yet
boisean
stepped
up.
Our
first
responders
came
and
did
their
job
in
a
way
that
made
it
much
less
tragic,
much
less
worse
than
it
might
have
been.
F
E
F
Just
on
top
of
what
everyone
else
has
said,
I
want
to
acknowledge
all
of
the
mall
employees.
As
someone
who
worked
in
the
mall
in
a
fishbowl
covered
in
windows
for
a
decade,
I
think
of
all
those
employees
who
took
care
of
their
customers
and
did
their
best
to
keep
everyone
safe,
so
you're,
seeing
thank
you
for
doing
your
very
best
and
I'm
sorry
that
this
was
a
situation
that
was
presented
to
us
just
take
care
of
each
other.
Thank
you.
G
Those
who
are
no
longer
with
us
is
to
do
better
moving
forward
that
we
not
waste.
This
experience,
I'm
a
woman
of
deep
faith,
I
believe
in
prayer,
but
it
needs
to
be
followed
up
by
action,
and
if
people
in
our
community
are
so
moved,
I
hope
that
they
will.
I
hope
they
will
look
for
ways
that
we
can
prevent
something
like
this
from
happening
in
the
future.
And
again
I
hold
very
dear
to
my
heart.
A
Well,
thank
you
all
we
will.
As
I
said,
we
will
continue
to
have
updates
for
the
community
and
there
will
be
opportunities
and
to
come
together
and
when
the
moment
is
right
in
the
coming
weeks
with
that,
we
are
going
to
start
working
on
our
regularly
scheduled
agenda
today,
but
for
something
that's
not
on
the
agenda,
but,
as
you
can
see,
rebecca
huff,
the
director
of
our
airport
is
here.
A
A
So
she
didn't
tell
me
it
was
a
big
deal,
but
we
are
new,
a
new
medium
hub
airport
and
it
is
truly
because
of
the
work
and
the
focus,
dedication
and
perseverance
of
our
director
rebecca
huff
and
her
team,
and
we
have
seen
this
airport
in
the
years
since
rebecca
joined
the
city
grow.
She
recognizes
the
value
of
the
airport
in
terms
of
our
economic
opportunity
and
economic
development.
A
E
Not
be
hurt
as
much
by
what
happened
with
covid
as
most
places
and
to
be
poised
and
ready
to
jump
back
into
full
operations
more
quickly
than
a
lot
of
places.
So
I
would
agree
with
the
decision
of
whoever
the
jury
was.
That
rebecca
is
well
deserving
of
of
this
honor,
and
thank
you
for
all
that
you
do,
for
our
airport
and
for
our
city,
rebecca.
H
Vladimir,
I
think
one
of
the
things
I've
learned
most
as
a
newer
city
council
member
is
actually
what
the
airport
does
and
the
capabilities
of
what
our
airport
can
do.
I
think
one
of
the
first
things
that
you
do
is
you
get
a
tour
of
all
these
different
places
and
boise
all
of
our
different
departments,
and
you
go
to
the
airport
and
you
say
like
this
is
a
complex
place,
but
then
you
take
the
tour
you're
like
holy
crap.
H
How
how
special
the
boise
airport
really
is
for
me
personally,
like
during
covid
one
of
the
bright
spots
was
the
boise
airport,
because
we,
you
were
kind
of
looking
for
these
different
points
of
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel
of
recovery,
and
it
seemed
like
every
other
week.
There
was
like
a
new
announcement
of
a
new
non-stop
flight.
We
had
to
a
new
location
and
the
people
were
interested
in
being
connected
to
boise
and
as
that
was
happening,
you
also
got
to
start
to
see
like
how
this
is
going
to
bring
business
here.
H
F
The
airport
is
one
of
my
very
favorite
places,
because
it
usually
means
that
either
I'm
feeling
very
productive
or
I'm
going
on
vacation
and
in
either
instance,
I'm
at
my
absolute
happiest,
and
I
also
want
to
recognize
the
additional
complex
complexity
that
comes
with
being
a
medium
hub
airport.
I
know
that
there
are
extra
requirements
now
that,
as
we
look
at
adding
our
second
terminal,
that
that
might
look
a
little
bit
different
than
some
of
our
original
plans
unless
rebecca
has
expertly
planned
for
all
of
those
things
in
advance,
which
she
probably
has.
F
G
C
Well
good
morning
and
thank
you
all
for
such
kind
words
today.
I
just
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
your
leadership,
because
we
could
not
do
the
things
at
the
airport
that
we
do
without
having
a
strong
mayor
and
council
supporting
us,
and
so
I'm
really
grateful
for
your
vision,
because
well,
I've
been
here
almost
a
decade.
C
It's
all
of
you
and
it's
definitely
our
entire
team
at
the
airport
and
when
you
think
about
the
complexity
of
the
airport
and
the
24-hour
day,
seven
day-to-week
operation
it
is,
it
takes
a
team,
it
takes
an
entire
organization
and
it's
not
just
something
that
one
person
does
so.
Thank
you
and
I
appreciate
the
kind
words.
A
Good
to
see
you
rebecca,
thank
you
all
right
now
we're
going
to
move
into
a
presentation
by
sean
keithley
on
the
results
of
our
economic
economic,
strategic
plan
and
just
to
tee
this
up.
It
was
june
of
2020
that
our
economic
recovery
task
force
suggested
a
suite
of
actions
that
we
could
take
as
a
city
to
support
economic
development
and
economic
opportunity
in
our
city
and
region.
A
One
of
those
things
that
we
knew
was
important
to
do
was
to
undertake
a
strategic
planning
process
to
hear
from
hundreds
of
stakeholders
in
this
community
to
develop
the
best
and
most
effective
ways
that
our
staff
could
support
long-term
economic
opportunity
in
boise
and
beyond,
and
sean
is
here
today
to
share
with
us
the
takeaways
I'm
from
that
report
and
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
We
are
tighter
on
time
than
we
intended
so
I'll.
A
I
Thank
you
mayor
members
of
the
council.
As
always,
it's
it's
an
honor,
and
it's
with
gratitude
and
humility
that
I
am
here
today
to
present
to
you,
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
the
outcomes
at
a
high
level
of
our
economic
development,
strategic
planning
effort,
which
have
been,
which
has
been
something
we've
been
undertaking
as
staff
with
many
hands
from
the
community
over
the
past
nine
months
and
are
very
close
to
wrapping
up
the
effort.
Today.
I
I
I
We
have
officially
two
people,
two
or
three
people
in
our
office
in
the
mayor's
office,
that
guide
economic
development,
but
really
we
have
an
entire
city
organization
and
a
broader,
extended
arm
of
our
trusted
partners
and
stakeholders
on
the
outside
that
are
that
are
working
with
us
to
implement
economic
opportunity
for
everyone,
a
city
for
everyone
and
all
the
things
that
go
into
that.
The
things
that
go
into
that
of
course
include
economic,
broad,
economic
development,
broadly
speaking,
housing,
transportation,
climate
community
engagement,
water
renewal
and
a
host
of
other
priorities.
I
Those
are
just
a
few,
but
I
just
want
to
make
the
the
the
point
that
this
is.
This
is
something
that,
although
we
think
of
economic
development,
in
terms
of
our
day-to-day
processes
and
operations,
it
really
touches
so
many
things
in
the
city
that
go
outside
of
our
direct
responsibility
and
that's
why
this
document
is
here
to
help
guide
the
work
across
the
city
internally,
as
well
as
our
external
stakeholders.
I
Those
are
traditionally
for
us,
anyway,
are
business
attraction,
business
retention
and
expansion,
a
support
for
entrepreneurship
and
promotion
of
small
business,
development
of
relationships
and
key
partnerships
that
enable
us
to
do
the
work
that
we
do
and
what
I'll
just
call
creative
solutions
that
enable
us
to
be
agile
from
an
economic
development
standpoint
and
to
be
a
resource
for
city
leadership.
When
it
comes
to
complex
issues
that
we
need
to
act
upon
quickly.
I
We
also
had
an
internal
advisory
committee
that
helped
to
guide
this
work
and
ensure
that
we
kept
the
work
of
the
of
the
project
within
the
bounds
of
the
of
the
city's
priorities
within
the
council's
priorities,
and
that
we
were
going
to
be
aligned
with
the
broader
departmental
priorities
in
the
city.
The
internal
advisory
committee
was
comprised
of
council
leadership.
I
More
than
100
of
these
community
leaders
across
13
different
focus
groups
that
ended
up
being
the
mechanism
for
which
they
provided
input
into
the
plan.
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
the
feedback
from
these
folks
and
I
I've
actually
provided
a
copy
of
the
full
stakeholder
list
for
your
reference.
That
will
be,
including
with
a
copy
of
the
strategic
plan
that
I
know
that
city
council
staff
has
provided
to
you
on
your
desks
and
wanted
to
just
emphasize
how
how
how
far-reaching
and
broad
this
ownership
of
the
plan
was.
I
All
the
way
through
we
had
some
of
our
largest
employers,
represented
along
with
some
of
our
our
smallest
and,
of
course,
involved
the
important
stakeholders
in
parts
of
our
economy.
Like
the
airport,
we
had
a
number
of
businesses
from
the
airport
area
represented
businesses
from
our
manufacturing
base.
I
We
had
community
organizations
across
the
board,
including
the
hispanic
chamber,
women's
business
center,
so
I
could
go
on,
but
suffice
to
say
that
we
did
our
best
to
make
this
a
plan
that
would
be
truly
broadly
informed
by
the
community
and
I
don't
think
we
could
have.
I
think
we
gave
it
our
best
effort
to
make
sure
that
it
was
as
inclusive
as
possible
and
we're
very
proud
of
that,
and
very
thankful,
of
course,
for
the
input
from
our
stakeholders.
I
It's
the
the
overall
broad
landscape
of
the
boise
economy,
key
trends,
data
points
and
things
that
would
inform
strategic
prior
priorities
along
the
line
and
complement
our
stakeholder
engagement
efforts
that
stakeholder
engagement
piece,
of
course,
probably
the
the
largest
portion
of
the
project
in
terms
of
our
time
and
budget
again
that
intentional
effort
to
gather
input
from
a
broadly
representative
group
of
stakeholders
as
possible,
and
that
was
really
more
the
qualitative
information
I'll
add
as
well
that
we
had
a
business
survey
that
reached
over
60..
They
got
responses
from
over
60
business
leaders.
I
I
So
with
all
that,
we
put
together
the
information
to
come
up
with
a
set
of
strategies
and
actions.
That
would
actually
be
what
the
plan
is
telling
is
directing
staff
to
do
to
execute
on
on
the
priorities
that
the
community
informed
us
of
and
then
finally,
the
implementation
and
implementation
and
tracking
plan,
which
are,
we
are
finalizing
now
with
our
consultant.
I
In
terms
of
how
it's
evolved.
Over
the
past
20
years,
we've
seen
a
general
trend
of
an
employment
focus
away
from
manufacturing,
as
as
the
focus
of
the
economy
and
more
towards
services.
Although
manufacturing
does
play
an
important
role
and
we'll
continue
to
we've
seen,
we
see
high
education
attainment
compared
to
the
united
states
overall,
with
a
a
special
level
of
achievement,
significantly
greater
in
the
area
of
bachelor
degree.
Education,
bachelor
degree
attainment
wages
overall
about
equal
to
the
u.s
average.
I
But
it's
important
to
note
that
housing
prices
have
risen
faster
than
wages
over
recent
years
and
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
housing
is
such
an
important
piece
of
economic
development
in
this
plan
and
how
we
address
that
and
unemployment
consistently
lower
than
u.s
averages
overall.
But
it
is
much
higher
for
people
of
color.
I
Some
key
opportunities
that
were
highlighted
in
this
landscape
assessment
of
boise
economy.
The
western
u.s
represents
a
growing
opportunity
for
trade
and
business
to
business
relationships,
as
we've
been
seeing
in
in
recent
years.
The
the
strong
and
growing
town
town
that
we
have
is
an
asset
that
is
consistently
highlighted
by
our
our
own
employers,
as
well
as
those
that
we
are
looking
to
attract
to
the
city
as
a
place
that
is
critical
for
continued
investment
and
to
help
grow
over
time.
I
Local,
higher
education
resources,
of
course,
including
career
and
technical
education,
are
valuable
assets
when
it
comes
to
workforce
development
and
innovation.
Of
course,
those
are
partnerships
that
will
help
us
execute
on
those
goals
and
then,
finally,
again
in
investment
in
housing,
affordability
and
overall
supply
of
housing
is
critical
to
meeting
economic
development
goals
for
our
city.
I
The
second
phase
of
the
project
stakeholder
engagement-
I've
talked
a
little
bit
about
this
already,
so
I
won't
go
into
it
too
far
here.
But
I
just
highlight
again
the
fact
that
those
focus
groups
in
the
business
survey
and
the
responses
from
the
survey
from
that
range
of
businesses
and
organizations,
small,
midsize
and
large
helped
inform
the
strategic
themes
of
our
plan
and
those
strategic
themes.
I
I
That
ties
right
into
another
key
priority
for
employers,
large
and
small
here,
and
that's
attraction
of
workforce
and
talent
and
part
of
that
is
it's
workforce
and
talent
is
a
complex
issue.
It
involves
a
lot
of
things
important
pieces
of
those
include
things
like
child
care,
education,
access
to
mobility,
access
to
jobs.
I
I
I
We've
also
heard
that
this
is
something
that
we
can,
as
as
far
as
making
it
a
priority
for
communication,
something
that
we
can
use
to
work
with
our
partners,
such
as
the
capital
city
development
corporation
corporation
and
the
convention
visitors
bureau,
to
make
a
part
of
their
priorities
as
well.
We've
already
started
those
conversations
and
have
seen
keen
interest
in
helping
us
to
communicate
and
carry
this
message
forward.
I
As
far
as
where
our
focus
goes.
Some
of
those
include
clean
energy
and
the
green
economy,
technology
and
advanced
manufacturing,
the
creative
economy
and
the
arts,
local
food
and
agriculture,
tourism
and
hospitality
and
health
care.
These
are
all
parts
of
our
economy,
our
economy,
they're,
absolutely
critical,
now
and
important
that
we
move
forward
with
supporting
when
it
comes
to
the
various
ways
that
we
do,
that
through
entrepreneurship,
retention,
expansion
and
business
attraction,.
I
And
finally,
workforce
development
and
talent-
and
this
is
again
where
we
lean
on
our
partners
heavily
to
ensure
that
we
can
execute
on
these
these
areas
in
higher
ed,
technical,
ed
and
and
partner
organizations
like
the
chamber
and
be
vet.
This
is
that
holistic
view
of
workforce
development
that
includes
addressing
things
like
child
care
and
and
mobility,
and
it's
also
a
focus
on
inclusion
and
expanding
workforce
participation
and
providing
support
to
fill
workforce
gaps
where
they
exist.
I
A
few
examples
of
these
are
a
scorecard
that
can
again
intentionally
document
how
we
focus
on
our
efforts
on
business
attraction,
retention
and
expansion,
how
we
can
intentionally
track
engagement
with
our
stakeholders.
We've
already
started
moving
on
this
with
a
crm
tool
within
the
mayor's
office
to
ensure
that
we
can
document
a
report
on
our
progress
and
then
finally,
an
implementation
of
an
online
data
dashboard,
which
our
consultant
is
helping
us
to
to
prepare
so
that
we
have
ready
access
to
data
points
and
reporting
tools.
H
Well,
first,
sean
thanks
for
the
thanks
for
the
presentation.
I
know
how
much
work
goes
into
a
strategic
plan.
I've
been
involved
in
quite
a
few
of
them
recently
and
I
also
know
how
important
they
are.
They
are.
So
thank
you
for
the
work
and
thank
you
for
the
massive
amount
of
community
engagement
that
you
did.
I
was
really
excited
to
see
that
promoting
boise
has
a
welcoming
community
be
included
on
there
because
I
had
heard
from
so
many
people.
H
The
role
that
boise
has
to
play
in
making
sure
that
people
are
wanting
to
come
here
and-
and
I'm
really
excited
to
see
that
on
there
I
do
have
a
question
about
workforce
development
and
kind
of
wondering
if
we've
already
been
able
to
see
any
specific
gaps
that
need
to
be
addressed.
I
know
it's
kind
of
a
tough
time
during
the
pandemic,
because
there's
gaps
all
over
the
place,
but
if,
during
this
process,
if
there
was
anything
identified
as
far
as
long-term
gaps
that
need
to
be
addressed
or
if
we're
at
that
stage
yet.
I
Madam
mayor
council,
member
halliburton,
certainly
we've
had
some
initial
conversations
with
our
workforce
development
partners
and
have
been
able
to
see
progress
on
a
couple
of
items
that
we
initially
identified
as
priorities
for
economic
development.
One
of
them
was
a
development
of
a
an
apprenticeship
program
that
the
college
of
western
idaho
has
been
working
on
moving
forward.
I
know
they
have
staffed
that
position
now
and
it's
something
that
we're
excited
to
see
where
we
can.
We
can
partner
it's
a
it's
an
item.
I
That's
given
more
more
horsepower
to
the
ability
to
connect
students
in
the
region
who
are
interested
in
entering
the
workforce
on
the
career
technical
side,
with
a
program
that
can
adequately
identify
opportunities
for
them
to
grow
their
skills
and
ultimately
gain
employment,
and
in
the
plan
we've
we've
set
forth
some
of
the
ways
that
we
can
work
more
intentionally
with
organizations
like
cwi
and
and
boise
state.
The
venture
college
just
to
name
a
couple
on
initiatives
that,
though,
that
our
workforce
development
partners
have
have
worked
hard
to
identify.
F
I
Madam
mayor
councilmember
williams-
certainly
this
is
something
that
was
highlighted
and
again
by
some
of
our
most
significant
employers
in
the
region
as
a
priority
to
address
in
terms
of
broadly
addressing
diversity,
equity,
inclusion
and
and
workforce
gaps,
and
the
plan
outlines
a
few
actions
that
we've
we've
identified
as
first
steps
to
more
intentionally
work
with
our
partners,
like
our
educational
institutions,
to
and
organizations
like
the
chamber
to
more
intentionally
reach
out
to
folks
in
the
community.
That
may
be
underrepresented
in
some
of
those
programs
that
exist
now.
I
Both
workforce
development
programs
are
are
mentoring
and
networking
programs
in
our
in
non-profit
organizations
and
organizations
like
the
chamber.
So
it
sets
forth
a
course
for
staff
to
work
with
our
partners
there
to
ramp
up
our
certainly
communicate
or
desire
to
see
additional
engagement
on
that
level
and
and
hopefully
ramp
up
their
efforts
as
well.
So
yes,
in
the
in
the
plan,
we've
certainly
spelled
those
out,
and
I
heard
loud
and
clear
that
this
is
something
that
we
need
to
spend
our
our
time
and
resources
on
improving.
F
G
G
G
I
G
Thank
you,
sean
just
a
quick
follow-up.
Madam
mayor,
I
think
it's.
What
I
value
about
your
presentation
today
is
that
you
are
speaking
to
the
fact:
it's
not
just
about
attracting
those
folks,
it's
when
you
do
attract
them,
and
then
they
make
that
commitment
to
live
and
work
in
our
city
and
then
they
find
that
they
cannot,
because
the
culture
does
not
accept
them
and
it's
not
a
healthy
environment.
For
folks,
I
think
that's
what
a
lot
of
folks
of
color
experience.
G
D
It
looks
like
we're
running
out
of
time
sean
something
I'd
appreciate.
Just
following
up
and
hearing
early
in
your
presentation,
you'd
explain
that
the
boise
economy
is
balanced
and
then
the
next
bullet
explained
the
transition
from
manufacturing
to
service
sector
type
work.
And
I
just
wonder
if
that's
just
a
helpful
fact
to
know
or
if
you
view
that
as
a
strategic
risk
and
something
that
we
need
to
address
and.
D
I
Madam
mayor
council,
member
beijing,
thank
you
for
that
question.
So,
just
a
point
of
clarity
on
that
services.
There
are
broadly
defined
as
services
that
include
you
know
professional
and
technical
services
high
paying
what
you
would
call
service,
oriented
jobs,
office,
jobs
generally
speaking,
and
the
manufacturing
sector
shift,
I
think,
was
largely
represented
just
in
terms
of
pure
numbers
by
you
know.
I
If
you
look
in
the
past
20
years,
the
pivot,
by
micron,
for
example,
from
a
a
production
facility,
a
facility
focused
on
production
to
more
of
an
r
d
facility
that
had
a
smaller
production
element
to
it.
So
as
it's
represented
in
the
numbers,
a
lot
of
those
manufacturing
jobs
that
that
were
that
disappeared
during
that
time
were
due
to
that
pivot,
certainly
not
to
say
that
manufacturing
again
is
not
absolutely
fundamental
to
our
economy.
I
Here
represents,
in
terms
of
our
wages,
the
highest
wages
of
of
any
sector
in
our
economy,
largely
to
do
with
the
fact
that
we
still
and
enjoy
a
significant
presence
from
from
from
major
manufacturing
entities,
micron
of
course,
being
one
of
them.
So
it's
it's
something
that
again
remains
fundamental
to
our
economy.
I
We
have
a
an
opportunity
with
the
area
of
the
city
that
we
have
positioned
for
that
in
southeast
boise,
the
manufacturing
quarter
around
the
eisenmann
area
and
federal
way.
We
still
have
a
large
amount
of
land
to
devote
toward
that
in
terms
of
land.
That's
been
zoned
and
contemplated
for
that
as
far
as
future
land
uses.
So
I
don't
think
that
that
particular
statistic
represents
a
a
risk
in
further
loss
of
a
manufacturing
sector.
I
So
that's
an
area
where
I
think
we
we
can
see
a
real
opportunity
for
growth
in
the
coming
years
and
as
the
as
the
work
highlighted
in
terms
of
our
workforce
development
piece
of
that
focusing
on
on
high-tech
manufacturing,
advanced
manufacturing
is
a
piece
we
will
continue
to
look
to
support
and
ensure
that
our
workforce
partners
are
also
supported
by
our
our
efforts
in
that
regard.
To
to
drive
that
forward.
A
Thank
you.
I
think
that
was
a
great
question
and
I'm
glad
that
we
were
able
to
flush
that
out
a
little
bit
more
with
that
sean.
I'm
sure
that
there's
additional
follow-up
you'd
like
to
share
council
might
have
it
and
they'll
direct
it
through
amanda.
But
I
appreciate
you
being
here
today
and
just
want
to
reiterate
that
you
know
this.
A
So
next
up,
we've
got
doug
with
us
today
as
a
follow-on
follow-up
to
the
conversation
we
had
goodness
it
was
about
a
month
ago,
and
the
purpose
of
this
is,
as
we've
all
stated,
our
goal
is
to
protect
our
parks.
There's
been
concern
that
the
protections
aren't
in
place
to
ensure
that
you
know
for
generations
to
come.
A
They
will
be
protected
and
that's
our
intent
and
when
doug
was
with
us
last
time
he
went
through
the
status
of
different
open
lands
within
our
city
that
are
set
aside
for
parks
and
a
likely
calendar
of
when
we
could
develop
them.
And
then
we
asked
him
to
come
back
with
some
recommendations
on
how
we
could
take
steps
to
ensure
that
these
parcels
are
protected
in
perpetuity
and
appreciate
the
work,
look
forward
to
the
suggestions
and
take
it
away.
Doug.
J
Good
morning,
thank
you,
madam
mayor
council
members.
I
obviously
wish
it
was
a
better
day
to
be
presenting
something
park
related,
which
is
always
a
good
thing
happening
in
our
community.
But
we
we
power
through
today
and
again,
thank
you
for
tuning
that
up
for
me,
madam
mayor,
so
the
mayor
reached
out
and
and
asked
us
after
the
last
presentation
and
some
of
the
council
members
as
well
to
take
a
look
at
as
we
move
into
the
future.
J
And
so
we
just
banged
out
a
very
simple
goal
for
the
mayor
council
to
look
at
and
really
essentially
it's
to
protect
park
and
open
space
property
owned
by
the
city
of
boise
and
to
pre
anything
other
than
their
intended.
Use,
and
you'll
probably
hear
from
me
a
number
of
of
times
today
to
to
use
the
words
protection
and
certainly
intended
use,
because
that
really
is
what
the
focus
of
today's
conversation
with
the
mayor
council
will
center
around.
J
But
what
we
do
have
for
you
today
is
is
to
let
you
know
that
all
14,
open
space
reserves
do
not
have
any
prohibition
that
would
prevent
this
body
from
providing
the
protection
over
them,
nor
would
any
of
the
103
park
sites.
So
in
other
words,
we
found
nothing
in
our
files
that
would
prohibit
you
to
provide
additional
protections
for
these
parks
and
open
spaces,
as
as
we
would
move
into
future
generations,.
J
A
Jump
in
there
too,
just
so
council
knows.
Yesterday
I
signed
the
papers
on
the
the
most
recent
open
space
acquisition
and
we
included
language
in
there
to
protect
it
moving
forward.
I'm
asked
that
question
before
signing.
It
was
reflective
of
the
information
that
brought
us
and
so
we're
already
implementing
some
of
these
steps.
J
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
That
is
correct.
The
personally
property,
as
we
refer
to
it
are
horizon
hills
actually
closed
yesterday.
So
congratulations,
mayor
and
city
council
on
being
the
owners
of
a
of
some
new
foothills
property
and,
as
the
mayor
pointed
out,
there
is
language
in
there
that
says
that
that
property
will
always
be
utilized
for
its
intended
use
as
open
space.
J
J
In
fact,
we
discovered
that
there
are
35
different
parks
and
I
will
show
those
to
you
in
a
moment
that
actually
already
have
written
protection
in
with
deed
restrictions
or
donation
agreements
that
are
already
embedded
in
those
park
sites.
So
there
there's
nothing
more.
That
could
be
done
with
them
other
than
be
a
park
in
our
system.
We
did
find
five
interesting
parks
that
we'll
refer
to
as
outliers.
That
really
isn't
a
challenge.
J
J
Each
of
these
has
something
in
the
file
that
says
it
will
remain
a
park
for
generations,
most
of
them
as
well-
and
I
would
add
here,
madam
mayor
and
council
members-
have
remedies
as
well
embedded.
So
not
only
does
it
say
it
has
to
be
a
park,
but
then
it
goes
on
to
say
if
it's
not
and
then
it
has
a
remedy
and
for
most
of
those
that
were
donations,
it
would
refer
back
to.
J
J
A
You
yeah
thanks
for
bringing
that
up
doug,
because
while
this
is
the
develop
park
pieces,
we
we
agreed
to
a
calendar
for
development
of
that
open
parcel
at
borah
park
in
the
last
meeting
it
was
there
was
a
timeline
on
there
and
so
you'll
be
talking
about
that
in
others
next
or
before.
This
ends
correct,
correct,
correct.
J
J
So
one
of
the
so
again
to
look
at
all
of
our
assets,
one
of
the
the
questions
the
mayor
had
council
members
was.
Can
you
also
tell
us
what
those
protections
are?
In
other
words,
what
what
parks
and
I
listed
the
previous
35-
do
we
have
protections
already
under
or
do
we
have
any
protections
overlaid
on
this,
and
so
you
saw
the
35.
J
J
We
had
to
seek
and
get
approval
from
the
blm
in
order
to
put
the
bike
park
in
which
they
provided,
because
it's
a
recreational
use.
Anything
outside
of
that
would
actually
revert
the
military
reserve
back
to
the
federal
government
and
it
would
become
part
of
the
department
of
interior
believe
it
or
not.
That
has
happened
in
our
history
several
decades
ago.
J
I
believe
there
was
some
landfill
issues
that
was
occurring
in
military
reserve
and
the
federal
government
took
the
reserve
back
and
we
were
able
to
to
fix
the
the
issue,
and
then
we
got
military
reserve
back
to
us.
So
we
never
want
to
see
that
happen
again.
So
we're
very
careful
of
what
happens
in
the
military
reserve,
but
of
these.
That
is
the
only
other
one
that
we
that
that
we
don't
actually
own
as
a
city
of
boise,.
E
J
Madame
meter
council
president
clegg,
I'm
very
glad
you
brought
that
up.
I
have
looked
at
that
file,
probably
more
than
any
other
file
we
have,
and
it
actually
does
not
have
language
in
there.
That
says
it
has
to
be
maintained
as
as
open
space.
It
has
some
language
in
there
on
federal
funding
that
some
federal
funding
that
was
that
was
received.
J
E
J
Yes,
it
and
madam
mayor
council,
president
clay.
There
is
and
we'll
go
back
on
our
review
that
we're
not
done
with
the
reserves.
Yet.
Madam
mayor
council,
member
clay,
because
of
all
the
individual,
we
haven't
gone
through
every
single
individual
parcel
and
we'll
give
some
more
attention
to
hull's
gulch.
That
one
was
a
little
interesting
in
looking
at
the
file
on
that.
I
would
have
assumed
that
would
have
had
language
that
would
have
had
some
perpetuity
intended
use
language
in
it.
J
J
Lease
renewals
for
both
of
those
it's
owned
by
the
boise
school
district
and
then
eagle
rock
park
and
veterans
memorial
park
are
actually
owned
by
the
state
so
we'll
we
will
be
having
conversations
with
both
the
state
and
the
school
district
about
our
process
and
and
what
our
plans
are.
We
will
need
them
to
be
able
to
participate
with
us
if
we
are
to
include
these
four
sites
into
our
protection
requirements,
but
again
we'll
have
those
have
those
conversations
with
with
those
two
entities.
J
Florence
park
was
the
interesting
one
and
if
you're
not
familiar
with
florence
park,
it's
off
of
fairview
avenue
and
for
our
council
members
that
are
involved
in
girl
scouts,
it
is
right
next
door
to
the
previous
server
silver
sage,
girl
scout
headquarters
and
it's
a
small
two-acre
park
that
was
donated
to
us,
I
believe
in
1998
and
in
the
donation
agreement.
It
actually
does
state
that
the
city
can
sell
the
park
if
it
chose
to
do
so.
J
So,
as
madame
mayor
mentioned
earlier,
I
was
here
a
month
ago
to
go
through
a
quick
overview
of
our
undeveloped
park.
Spaces
which
is
included
would
be
included
in
this
protection
potential
protection
that
that
the
council
could
consider
and
I'll
just
quickly
run
through
these
again.
For
you
serena
park,
which
is
in
southwest
boise,
we
have
slated
a
construction
timeline
of
2028
for
that
park.
The
pierce
park
site,
which
is
just
below
the
newest
foothills
property
that
we
just
closed
on.
Yesterday,
it's
at
the
very
end
of
pierce
park
lane.
J
We
have
a
2024
construction
timeline
for
that
sioux
park,
which
is
out
at
the
junction
of
warren
springs
and
idaho,
21,
just
below
the
bridge,
a
construction
timeline
of
2030
spaulding
ranch
which
we're
moving
forward
and
have
been
moving
forward
for
the
last
two
years.
There,
the
construction
timeline
in
2023.
We
have
a
number
of
things,
we're
going
to
be
doing
out
there,
but
this
will
always
be
this
should
actually
say
2023
and
on
because
it
will
be
something
that
will
be.
J
J
J
mcdevitt
parcel
in
west
boise.
We
have
about
eight
seven
and
a
half
to
eight
acres
of
undeveloped
property.
There
we're
looking
at
2026
liberty
park
parcel
is
to
be
determined
that
is
a
life
estate
by
the
family
that
we
purchased
liberty
park
from,
and
so
that
would
be
determined
when
that
life
estate
no
longer
exists,
and
then
the
warm
springs
parcel
we're.
Looking
at
a
2024
timeline.
E
E
J
Place,
madame
council
president
clay-
that
is
a
great
question
and
you
know
what
I
believe
on
the
undeveloped
park
sites.
I'm
not
sure
what
detail
we
went
through
in
those
files.
So
we
will
do
that
and
get
that
back
to
you
because
you're
exactly
right.
There
is
a
historical
designation
on
spalding
ranch,
for
example,
so
that
would
have
some
significant
protections
on
that
parcel
as
well.
So
we
will
go
back
through
that.
My
apologies
for
that.
E
J
J
J
Today
would
be
great
if
there's
any
feedback
thoughts,
any
direction
from
city
council
on
thoughts
that
you
have
moving
forward
on
on
some
potential
protection
options.
What
you
would
like
to
see
and
also
moving
forward
when
we
acquire
new
properties,
it
would
be
under
the
assumption,
if
we're
protecting
everything
we
have
now,
we
would
want
obviously
something
in
place
that
would
also
provide
that
same
type
level
of
protection
for
any
new
acquisitions.
We
have
so
any
direction
we
could
get
from
council
today.
J
I
anticipate
that
will
be
wrapped
up
in
the
next
several
weeks
and
that
there'd
be
an
opportunity
for
our
legal
team
to
come
back
to
council
with
those
options
for
you
to
review.
But
we
certainly
would
be
open
to
any
feedback.
We
have
on
what
we've
discussed
today
and
that
we
can
get
that
to
our
legal
team
and
and
have
them
include
that
in
any
of
the
options
that
they
would
be.
Bringing
back
to
you.
A
It's
important
that
we
do
hear
the
recommendations
from
you
and
the
legal
team
in
terms
of
the
steps
that
we
can
take
as
a
city
to
make
real
the
commitment
that
we
all
have
I'm
so
interested
to
hear
people's
feedback.
I
do
have
one
that
I
thought
of
one
question
that
I
thought
of.
While
you
were
listing
and
doesn't
need
to
be
answered
today,
but
when
you
come
back,
I'm
also
curious.
A
If
funds
are
used
to
acquire
access
to
canal
pathways
to
create
canal
pathways,
you
know
some
a
conversation
too
about
what
that
means.
I
know
some
of
it
will
be
leased,
etc,
but
if
there
are
ways,
if
with
our
investment
for
pieces,
that
we
can
protect
them
as
we
would
parks,
we
ought
to
know
that
if
we
can't,
we
ought
to
know
that
too.
D
I
think
the
public
certainly
expects
that
our
parks
are
going
to
be
our
parks
forever.
That's
what
what
we
all
understand,
but
we
should
also
recognize
a
little
bit
of
humility
with
respect
to
future
city
councils.
City
leaders,
city
needs,
and
I
think,
whatever
you
know
at
a
high
level,
whatever
rule
we
craft
or
whatever
restrictions
we
put
in
place,
probably
shouldn't
be
blanket
identical
for
every
parcel
and
they
shouldn't
they
shouldn't
unduly.
E
Madame
mayor,
thank
you.
I
I
think
councilmember
beijing
brings
up
a
good
point
because
you
know
who
knows
what
does
happen
in
a
very
long
future.
On
the
other
hand,
I
do
believe
pretty
strongly
that
people,
especially
boiseans
value
their
parks
very
highly
and
once
parkside
is
developed.
They
expect
it
to
remain
apart,
and
so
I
think
we've
got
our
develop
parks
as
one
and
then
the
undeveloped
parcels
or
the
future
purchases
as
another.
E
We
have,
for
many
years,
talked
about
co-locating
other
city
services
at
certain
park
sites,
fire
stations,
police
substations,
maybe
even
in
the
future,
you'd
think
of
a
branch
library.
I
don't
know
for
sure
what
those
might
be.
But
again,
I
would
not
want
to
foreclose
the
opportunity
to
do
something
that
would
actually
provide
better,
more
efficient,
more
serendipitous
service
to
our
residents,
because
we've
so
tightly
tied
down
what
we
can
do
with
that
site,
that
that
is
a
use
that
wouldn't
be
allowed,
even
though
it
serves
the
public.
E
So
for
me
it
would
be
whatever
these
protections
are.
Keep
the
public
in
mind
serve
the
public,
be
able
to
trade
if
there's
a
good
reason
and
a
betterment
by
doing
that
and
making
sure
that
whatever
it
is,
we
do
we
do
it
very
intentionally,
very
transparently
that
everybody,
as
council
members
agent,
said
understands
what
the
policy
is,
so
that
as
we
move
forward
and
either
acquire
or
develop
sites,
everyone
knows
what
the
expectations
are.
J
Council,
member
clay,
great
great
feedback-
and
I
agree-
it's
not
a
one
size
fits
all.
So
I
appreciate
mayor
mclean
pushing
this
ahead
to
say,
let's
start
looking
at
this
now
and
I
think
it's
still
going
to
be
some
there's
going
to
be
some
time
that
we're
going
to
need
to
go
through
and
and
we
have
a
lot
of
assets
and
if
it's
not
a
one
size
fit
all.
J
I
think
we
really
want
to
look
at
how
that
is
going
to
play
out
across
what
would
be
117
potential
different
sites
that
we
have
in
our
system.
So
I
think
that's
a
great
great
comment.
I
would
point
out
on
the
undeveloped
sites,
council,
member
clay.
You
did
bring
up
the
spaulding
ranch
and
the
the
protection
there.
F
Madame
doug,
thank
you
so
much
for
this.
I've
been
hearing
a
lot
from
folks
around
borah
park
about
the
redevelopment
of
that
parcel.
So
it's
been
really
nice
to
have
some
have
some
clarity
from
your
last
presentation
on
what
the
master
planning
and
capital
improvement
schedule
looks
like
on
that.
So
I
appreciate
it.
I
have
a
question
around.
F
We've
talked
a
lot
about
lay
down
yards
and
maintenance
sites
that
exist
in
the
parks,
particularly
julia
davis,
and
how
those
might
actually
have
a
higher
use
for
our
city.
I'm
wondering
if
there's
been
any
conversation
about
about
that
and
what
that
might
look
like
as
far
as
having
this
conversation
about
preserving
park
sites
in
perpetuity
and
maybe
how
those
more
facility
type
uses
might
be
treated
differently.
J
J
It
is
a
completely
separate
parcel
that
the
city
purchased,
so
it's
not
part
of
what
the
donation
agreement
that
came
from
the
davis
family
that
continues
to
move
forward.
Our
facilities,
team
within
the
city
is,
is
continuing
to
look
for
where
we
will.
We
need
to
have
a
place
to
go
first,
because
it's
quite
a
large
commitment
to
move
our
entire.
We
have
two
different
divisions:
maintenance
divisions
that
work
out
of
that
location.
J
So
it's
finding
a
suitable
location
for
that
and
then
freeing
that
up
for
for
development,
we've
looked
through
our
entire
inventory
to
see
if
we
have
other
locations
that
would
that
would
apply
to
that
same
type
of
concept,
and
we
really
don't
have
any
right
now.
We've
actually
had
to
create
a
couple
of
spots
within
parks,
for
example
anne
morrison,
at
the
at
the
northwest
corner
beyond
together
treasure
valley,
dog
island,
we've
created
a
maintenance
area
there
to
help
accommodate
some
of
the
overflow
that
we
have
for
our
downtown
park.
J
G
I
think
it's
wonderful
that
we're
doing
this
work,
especially
because
it
honors
the
people
who
have
been
generous
enough
to
give
to
to
create
these
spaces
for
for
our
community
members,
I'm
wondering
if,
as
part
of
the
record,
I
think
it's
fascinating
how
council
president
clegg
remembers
certain
things
and
then,
as
you
look
in
the
papers,
you're,
maybe
not
finding
it
there
or
it's.
I.
G
I
would
like
for
us
to
highlight
that
part
of
the
reason
that
we
want
to
protect
these
pieces
of
land
as
open
space
and
parks
is
for
equity.
I
mean
we
talk
about
diversity
and
inclusion,
but
sometimes
we
skip
over
the
equity
part
and,
as
we
create
more
dense
housing
opportunities
in
our
city,
to
fit
more
people
and
have
more
more
multi-family
options,
it's
probably
going
to
be
less
children
having
a
backyard
to
play
in
and
the
reality
is
the
city
of
boise.
G
Is
that
backyard-
and
I
would
just
like
for
us
to
if
we
can
put
some
language
in
there-
referencing
equity-
that
that's
a
big
part
of
why
we
want
to
protect
these
open
spaces?
And
these
parts
is
for
those
folks
who
will
not
have
that
opportunity
to
enjoy
their
own
space
and
they
need
to
make
use
of
all
these
wonderful
spaces
that
the
city
is
providing
for
them.
B
H
E
A
The
courtney's
here
to
update
everyone
on
a
couple
strategic
priorities
and
then
also
to
give
everyone
a
chance
to
provide
feedback
on
the
things
that
you
were
working
on
or
hope
to
work
on
in
the
coming
year
and
there
you
know
there
are
some
big
things
like
arpa
that
we're
waiting
for
all
of
you
have
been
invited
to
various
listening
sessions
to
kick
that
off.
There's
some
other
topics
that
courtney
has
to
just
run
through
and
update
everybody
on,
but
thought
it
was
a
good
time
to
do
that
before
lunch.
K
As
the
mayor
indicated,
we
are
in
the
process
of
collecting
internal
and
external
ideas
for
the
funding.
The
mayor
and
council
will
be
involved
in
listening
sessions
with
community
leaders
to
get
that
high
level
input.
In
addition,
our
online
survey
open
to
our
residents
has
been
open
and
is
expected
to
be
open
until
december,
and
then
another
aspect
of
the
arpa
funding
is
trying
to
navigate
with
our
state
and
other
local
entities
in
terms
of
where
they're
putting
their
resources.
K
As
you
can
imagine,
the
city
wants
to
take
as
much
advantage
of
as
much
of
this
funding
as
it
can
so
we're
conducting
meetings
and
discussions
with
our
partners
at
the
state
and
local
level,
and
also
in
the
non-profit
spaces,
to
get
a
better
understanding
of
where
everyone
is
thinking.
They
may
be
using
their
own
allocation
of
arpa
funding
to
best
support
the
community
and
then
we're
also
investigating
where
we
can
get
stacked
benefits.
K
K
F
The
mayor,
thank
you,
courtney.
I
appreciate
that.
I
would
think
that
once
we
have
that
expert
in
place
getting
a
work
session
presentation
on
what
we
anticipate,
that
arpa
funds
will
be
able
to
be
used
for
so
that
the
community
has
a
little
bit
more
clarity
around
that.
I
know
that
I've
been
following
the
conversation
pretty
closely
and
I
don't
have
much
clarity,
so
I
think
it
would
be
really.
K
D
Madam
mayor,
just
quick
on
the
arpa,
no
feedback
just
a
compliment,
it's
pretty
clear
that
we're
doing
a
much
better
job
at
the
city
than
certain
other
agencies
in
the
state,
while
the
state
has
been
frankly
and
a
lot
of
that
is
exactly
this
kind
of
work,
and
I
think
it's
mostly
you
so
so.
Thank
you.
It
really
matters.
It's
it's
important
to
our
community.
It's
a
lot
of
money
and
it's
going
to
do
a
lot
of
good.
So
thank
you.
D
H
You
know
directly
about
the
arpa
funds,
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
we're
working
and
talking
and
having
lots
of
conversations
with
the
non-profit
sector.
I
think
when
it
comes
to
working
with
and
identifying
a
lot
of
our
marginalized
communities
and
ones
who
maybe
were
not
able
to
take
advantage
of
some
of
the
support
that
was
offered
earlier,
is
just
so
important
and
they're,
probably
our
best
connections
to
a
lot
of
those
communities.
H
The
second
part-
and
you
know
I've
mentioned
this
before,
and
I
just
want
to
continue
to
make
sure
that
I've
got
this
on.
The
record
is
that
if
there
is
support
for
small
businesses,
I
know
there
are
so
many
businesses
who
applied
for
first
rounds
of
funding
earlier
through
the
cares
act
who
were
not
able
to
get
funding
either
because
they
they
weren't
able
to
get
high
enough
on
the
list
or
there
were
smaller
clerical
errors.
H
E
K
E
Well,
thank
you,
courtney.
I'm
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
listening
sessions
I'll
have
to
miss
one
of
those,
unfortunately,
but
we'll
be
at
the
others.
I
also
wonder,
as
we
partner
with
our
other
local
agencies
and
nonprofits,
if
there
might
be
a
role
for
certain
council
members
with
certain
ones
if
they
have
a
relationship.
So
just
keep
that
in
mind.
I
think
there's.
Sometimes
those
personal
relationships
can
make
all
the
difference
in
figuring
out.
E
If
there
is
a
partnership
there
and
I
knowing
this
council,
I'm
pretty
confident
that
they'd
be
willing
to
participate
in
the
places
where
they'd
be
helpful
and
needed.
So
we'll
look
to
you
for
guidance.
On
that.
The
last
question
I
have-
and
I
haven't
heard
the
last
outcome
of
this.
I
know
that
the
federal
that
treasury
is
going
to
resend
and
redistribute
some
of
the
era
round
one
funds,
but
I
wasn't
clear
on
some
of
the
cares
funds.
E
K
Madam
mayor
council,
president,
I
don't
know
the
answer
to
your
question.
I
do
know.
Boise
is
well
positioned
to
receive
reallocated
funds
because
we
have
been
spending
money
at
a
much
higher
rate
than
similar
cities
or
anyone
in
idaho,
frankly
so
I'll
loop
back
to
you
in
regards
to
those
funds.
I
just
don't
know
the
answer
right
now,.
A
And
I'll
jump
in
here,
too,
we've
received
no
indication
that
they
would
be
reallocated
to
us.
However,
I'm
given
the
track
record,
we
have
in
investing
them
wisely
and
quickly
to
the
beneficial
use
of
the
community.
We
are
prepared
to
request,
apply
for
take
any
steps
necessary
to
ensure
that
boiseans
and
are
able
to
benefit
from
those
resources
that
are
available.
G
Mayor,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Courtney
yeah.
I
think
we
were
all
horrified
to
read
in
the
news
that
our
state
could
possibly
turn
back
millions
of
dollars
that
idahoans
need,
and
I'm
just
very
proud
of
us
of
our
city
of
our
leaders,
who
have
made
sure
that
our
people
have
access
to
that
much
needed
resource,
and
so
that's
all
I
wanted
to
say
is
thank
you.
E
K
E
Just
going
to
suggest
that,
given
that
I
don't
know
that
most
of
us
have
had
an
opportunity
to
think
about
that
that
we
put
that
off
and
actually
have
a
more
of
a
roundtable
discussion
or
about
that
rather
than
a
dias
one.
If
that's
a
possibility
at
some
point
at
maybe
our
december
strategic
planning
meeting.
A
K
Courtney
did
you
want
some
more
updates?
Is
that
okay,
madam
mayor
members
of
the
council,
just
because
these
aren't
necessarily
strategic
initiatives,
but
our
department
directors
play
critical
roles
in
the
city.
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
an
update
that
we
are
in
the
process
of
recruiting
a
new
planning
and
development
services
director.
We
expect
that
to
be
completed
in
december
and
also,
if
you're
not
aware.
K
Terry
schwartzman
is
retiring
from
the
city
and
we
are
working
with
her
to
recruit
the
next
director
of
arts
in
history,
and
the
only
other
update
I
wanted
to
mention
today
is
the
city
staff
in
the
climate.
Division
have
completed
the
clean
cities
index
and
we're
working
on
what
the
implementation
of
that
information
would
look
like
to
bring
it
forward
to
you,
probably
in
late
november,
early
december.
K
As
a
reminder,
that's
the
information
we
collected
to
get
a
better
understanding
of
our
more
vulnerable
neighborhoods
in
terms
of
health
impacts,
heat
impacts
in
regards
to
the
tree
canopy
initiative,
where
we're
lacking
in
the
community-
and
it
really
has
produced
some
really
interesting
information.
But
we
feel
it's
important
to
bring
it
to
you
with
a
plan
to
address
the
challenges
that
came
through
with
that
data,
and
with
that
those
are
the
updates
I
had,
but
a.
F
Mayor
courtney,
that
is,
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
seeing
that
I
think
that'll
be
really
interesting
data.
The
other
day,
I
was
looking
back
through
our
neighborhood
almanacs,
which
were
something
that
we
had
for
a
while
and
were
presented
as
part
of
our
our
packets.
When
we
were
looking
at
developments,
they
were.
Do
you
remember
what
those
were
the
little
the
little
kind
of
one
pagers
on
you
know
how
much
of
a
neighborhood
was
rentals
versus
ownership,
the
general
demographics?
F
E
Madam
mayor,
just
one
note
on
the
clean
cities
index
I've
been
told
by
the
folks
who
are
working
on
the
city
of
trees,
challenge
that
is
actually
data,
that's
probably
better
and
more
and
deeper
than
any
city
that
they've
been
working
with
across
the
country
on
tree
planting,
and
so
I
think,
there's
a
real
opportunity
to
use
it.
Especially.
E
The
american
forest
foundation
has
recently
adopted
a
tree
equity
program
in
urban
areas
across
the
country,
and
I
think
we
have
an
opportunity
to
provide
leadership
in
how
to
measure
that
and
how
to
work
on
it.
And
so
I
I'm
really
excited
about
the
clean
cities
index.
I
know
there's
still
lots
more
work
to
be
done
on
it,
but
but
kudos
to
everyone.
Who's
worked
on
it
so
far,
and
the
kind
of
the
deep
information
that
is
giving
us
that
many
other
cities
don't
have
access
to.
H
H
H
I
think
that
my
three
things
were
the
canal
pathways
learning
as
much
as
I
can
from
all
of
you
and
from
all
of
our
staff
and
then
also
being
a
really
really
good
team
member.
One
of
the
things
that
I
recognize
is
that
we
have
at
least
one
new
council
member
who's
going
to
be
here
next
year
and
there's
probably
some
opportunity
to
make
sure
that
the
conversation
that
we
had
in
2020,
where
we
clearly
understood
what
other
folks
were
doing,
is
something
that
we
kind
of.
H
So
I
guess
just
to
follow
up
and-
and
let
folks
know
what
I'm
working
on
the
canal
pathways
effort
or
the
pathways
program
is
something
I
I
think
we
expect
to
see
a
master
plan
proposal
before
the
end
of
the
year
or
early
next
year.
That
certainly
will
be
something
that
I'll
be
continuing
to
work
on
especially
hearing
sean's
presentation
about
quality
of
life,
the
incredible
things
that
the
city
is
doing
with
the
climate
action
road
map.
H
I
think
that
there's
still
some
great
great
overlaps
there
and
even
with
the
parks
that
we
were
talking
about
earlier.
This
is
something
that
I'm
going
to
continue
to
work
on,
and
then
the
other
thing
that
I
would
just
add
is
that
I'm
a
liaison
to
our
neighbors
united
committee,
which
some
of
you
may
or
may
not
know
exactly
what
that
is.
But
it's
a
collective
impact
group
for
our
refugee
community
and
organizations
that
serve
refugees
and
new
americans
and
going
forward
with
arpa
funds
with
recoveries
with
workforce
development.
H
With
all
these
other
things
that
we're
working
on,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
really
are
doing
everything
that
we
can
to
be
a
welcoming
community
for
our
both
existing
refugee
and
new
american
community,
as
well
as
the
incoming
refugees
that
we'll
start
seeing
we're
already
starting
to
see
at
this
point.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that
other
council
members
know
that
that's
on
on
my
radar
and
the
city
knows
that.
That's
something
that
I
have
interested
in
helping
out
in
any
way
that
I
can
and
then.
Finally,
our
climate
action
roadmap.
H
So
thank
you,
madam
mayor,
for
giving
me
this
opportunity
and,
like
I
said,
I
think
that
this
is
something
that
would
be
great
to
have
on
the
schedule.
So
when
we
would
know
when
this
would
happen,
that
was
strategic
in
helping
us
decide
what
our
council,
member
funds
were
going
to
be
used
for,
or
new
council
members
who
may
be
coming
in
and
all
these
other
things.
Thank
you.
F
F
F
I've
talked
to
sean
about
it
a
few
times
kind
of
throughout
the
year,
but
I
I
mean
I
know
it's
going
to
be
a
huge
investment
and
I
know
that
we're
going
to
need
some
leadership
on
what
that
investment
looks
like
so
as
much
as
I
can
be
helpful
and
not
a
hindrance
or
a
pest
to
the
people
who
are
doing
the
work
on
it.
I
would
love
to
do
that.
F
I
recognize
it
as
one
of
the
biggest
equity
issues
in
our
city
and
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
using
some
of
our
funding
to
increase
broadband
equity
throughout
boise.
I
think
we've
really
felt
the
implications
of
that
over
the
past
year
in
our
community.
So
that's
kind
of
number
one
and
then
number
two
is
really
once
our
census
data
is
in
and
we
have
kind
of
that
census.
Tract
data,
looking
a
little
bit
more
holistically
at
where
our
gaps
are
and
where
equity
doesn't
exist
in
boise.
F
You
know
like
some
of
the
climate
impact
stuff.
I
think
broadband's
a
big
piece
of
that.
I
think
that
just
environmental
health
is
probably
a
big
piece
of
that
transportation
and
just
making
sure
that,
when
we're
investing
we're
investing
in
a
way,
that's
equitable
to
all
of
our
all
of
our
citizens,
not
just
in
one
area
of
the
city
or
another.
So
that's,
I
think,
more
big
pictures
strategically,
where
I'm
really
interested
as
we
keep
going
down
this
road
of
infrastructure,
investments
and
arpa
funding
investments.
F
So
those
are
kind
of
my
two
initial
thoughts.
I'm
always
always
interested
in
having
conversations
about
how
we
help
families,
especially
working
families,
with
after-school
opportunities
for
their
kids
and
how
we
might
expand
that
out
as
part
of
as
part
of
arpa
funding.
And
I
don't
ever
want
to
be
a
hindrance
or
viewed
as
a
pest.
But
I
just
want
to
be
helpful
in
any
way
that
I
can.
E
Thank
you.
Well,
not
surprisingly,
I'm
continuing
to
be
interested
in
forwarding
the
cities
of
city
of
tree
challenge
the
folks
that
have
been
working
on
it
have
been
having
conversations
for
how
to
grow
it
beyond
what
it
is
now
and
especially
how
to
work
with
other
cities
who
are
interested
in
it.
So
part
of
that's
internal
to
the
city.
Part
of
that
will
be
external.
E
I'm
really
interested
to
be
honest
with
you
in
working
with
a
new
person.
Now
that
we're
going
to
have
one
on
neighborhoods
and
figuring
out
what
what
that
means
going
forward.
I
think
we've
had
kind
of
a
eclectic
mix
of
policies
and
and
people
working
with
neighborhoods
and
never
really
had
a
clear
strategy
about
what
we
were
trying
to
accomplish
with
it.
E
Those
will
be
primarily
focused,
regionally
and
or
even
nationally,
but
to
the
extent
that
I
can
well,
I
will
always
will,
but
to
the
extent
that
it's
needed
I'll
make
sure
that
everyone
here
gets
involved
in
any
decisions
that
involve
the
city
of
boise.
The
city
obviously
owns
18
miles
of
the
rail
that
will
connect
back
to
the
main
line.
If
there
does
end
up
being
passenger
rail,
that
18
miles
will
end
up
being
in
play
and
in
use,
and
so
there
will
be
some
decisions
around
that
that
will
need
to
be
made.
E
Council
member
halliburton
has
been
helping
lead,
a
task
force
on
safe
streets,
vision,
zero
and
that
task
force.
I
will
be
bringing
something
forward
in
the
next
bit,
we'll
necessarily
have
to
partner
with
all
of
our
other
local
partners
to
get
much
done,
so
that
will
be
a
bigger
effort,
but
it
will
include
a
lot
of
things
that
the
city
has
to
do
and
then.
D
Madam
mayor
thanks
and
thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
provide
this
feedback
or
insight,
I
suppose
I'm
sorry.
These
are
kind
of
scattered
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
more
of
an
opportunity
to
talk
about
this
when
I've
had
a
little
more
time
to
prepare,
but
the
kind
of
grab
bag
that
I've
jotted
down
here.
First,
I
have
some
internal
feedback
and
suggestions
for
our
own
inside
the
council,
workflow
and
you
know
ways
to
improve
the
way
we
do
business
and
then.
D
Secondly,
the
way
we
do
business
with
the
mayor's
office,
I
think
I
have
some
good
ideas
there
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
working
on
them.
That's
not
strategic,
that's
just
tactical!
I
suppose
I
am
really
looking
forward
to
doing
everything
I
can
to
help
the
mayor
integrate
our
climate
work
with
economic
development.
D
It's
just
become
so
obvious
to
me
in
the
last
year
that
inefficiencies
and
difficulties
there
are,
in
certain
narrow
cases,
really
strangling
our
housing
supply,
which
affects
everyone
and
in
other
cases
you
know
incongruities
between
the
zoning
code
and
blueprint.
Boise
and
other
places
are
just
it's
really
setting
the
public
up
for
the
wrong
expectations,
which
causes
disappointment
and
frustration
in
our
community,
which
then
makes
it
harder
to
get
anything
else
done.
D
D
The
new
director
will
surely
help
with
that
a
lot,
but
that's
pretty
top
of
mind
for
me
because
it's
such
an
important
part
of
our
city,
hopefully
not
into
the
next
year,
hopefully
over
the
winter
you're,
going
to
see
some
things
from
me
on
really
trying
to
nail
down
and
fix
some
of
the
floater
issues
with
parking
and
barber
park.
I
know
staff
is
already
working
and
helping
with
that,
but
that
was
an
ongoing
issue
last
year.
D
I
D
A
A
D
On
our
radar-
and
I
think
it's
important-
we
should
all
be
watching
as
we
get
through
these
elections
in
the
first
year,
first
half
year
with
districts,
half
districts,
and
we
should
be
thinking
about
things
both
culturally
and
procedurally,
that
we
may
need
to
change
on
the
council
as
the
nature
of
representation
in
our
community.
Changes.
