Thank

We
have
nothing
on

so
we'll

first
up
is
the
ratification

to
julie
of
julianne
donnelly
zuul
to

I'm
not

A
All
right,
I
just
want
to
thank
her
for
her
interest
in
serving
in
this
role
and
with
that
it's
properly
before
us.
E
Madam

yes,
I
move
that
we
ratify
the

by
the
eight
accounting
commissioners
of
julianne
donnelly

Second,.

F

G

In
short
council
found,
the
decision
of
the
commission
was
arbitrary
and
did
exceed
their
statutory
authority
included
in
your
packet
are
findings
and
conditions
reflecting
this
decision.
They
are
essentially
the
same
ones
that
were
initially
recommended
by
staff
to
the
commission.
We
are
asking
that
you
adopt
the
findings
today.
Thank.
E
You,
yes,
I've
reviewed
the
findings
and
the
record
at
our
hearing
and
agree
that
the
findings
do
reflect
the
discussion
we
had
that
night
and
with
that
I
would
move
approval
of
the
findings
for
drh
20-398-1521,
north
fifth,
fifth
street.
Second,.
F
C
A
And
now
we're
going
to
move
into
the
revised
number
three.
So
that's
fy
2020
end
of
year
report
with
mike
schrack.
I
saw
you
there
mike.
Oh
eric.
Is
it
you
eric
there.
E
H
And
eric
will
be
running
the
slides
and
good
afternoon
council
members
in
your
packet.
You
should
have
received
an
electronic
copy
of
the
end
of
your
report.
We
finished
recently
the
next
slide.
Eric
has
a
picture
of
of
the
cover
and,
if
you're
curious,
I
understand
that
is
hubble
creek
park,
and
so
today
I
will
go
through
the
general
fund.
First,
the
results
and
then
also
briefly
the
enterprise
funds
and
the
other
funds
and
then
also
the
economic
brief.
H
H
So
before
we
show
you
a
lot
of
numbers,
we
thought
we
would
start
with
something
that
a
slide
that
doesn't
have
numbers
aside
from
the
year,
and
this
is
just
some
themes
to
give
you
a
sense
of
what
we
see
as
we
got
through
the
report
and
what
fiscal
year
2020
ended
up
as
and
as
we
look
forward
so
for
the
fiscal
year,
revenues
were
close
to
budget.
Overall,
we
had
shortfalls
in
parks
and
recreation,
user
fees,
a
significant
shortfall
and
also
parking
related
revenues
were
down.
Those
were
a
couple
of
the
big
shortages.
H
We
were
surprised
with
sales
tax
being
up
and
development
fees
were
higher
than
anticipated.
Construction
continued
through
the
pandemic.
So,
in
sum,
we
ended
up
very
close
to
budget
just
slightly
under
also
the
local
economy
held
up
better
than
expected.
H
Part
of
that,
we
think,
is
just
a
strong
economy
going
into
the
pandemic
and
driving
around
town.
Currently,
you
will
see
hiring
signs
out
there
so
that
we
believe
has
helped
us
also
the
federal
stimulus
back
in
the
spring
that
lasted
through
the
summer,
and
some
still
continues
that
provided
significant
support
far
and
wide
and
reduced
the
economic
damage.
There
were
payments
to
taxpayers.
H
H
The
other
theme
out
there
is
with
the
city,
revenues
are
close
to
budget,
but
we
had
significant
expense
savings.
This
was
due
to
proactive
cost
management.
H
We
had
less
hiring
activity,
more
vacancies,
a
hiring
freeze
except
for
critical
positions.
We
didn't
hire
as
many
seasonal
and
temporary
employees.
Unfortunately,
they're.
Also,
we
limited
maintenance
and
operations
expenses.
We
had
closed
facilities,
so
we
had
significant
cost
savings.
We
also
did
not
need
to
rely
on
our
contingency
account
funds,
so
that
is
something
also
that
shows
up
in
our
accounts
cost
savings.
H
So
we
finished
the
year
positive
better
than
we
thought
it
would
be.
We
just
want
to
make
the
point
that
we
still
see
future
risk
out
there.
As
far
as
balancing
the
budget
goes.
This
could
be
coveted
impacts,
we're
not
sure
how
if
there
will
be
long-term
impacts,
changes
in
the
economy,
we
could
have
funding
challenges
some
of
our
revenues
and
our
expenses
continue
to
increase.
H
One
thing
on
our
to-do
list
for
the
january
is
to
update
our
five-year
forecast.
That
will
hopefully
give
us
some
insight
into
what
we
see
for
the
the
coming
years,
starting
with
the
2022
budget
year
and
then
looking
out
from
there
and
so
kind
of
in
some.
Where
we
see
things
too
with
the
economy
is
there's
certainly
optimism
now
with
a
vaccine
which,
which
is
very
significant,
there's
also
a
question
right
now
about
stimulus,
whether
there
will
be
more
and
if
there
isn't
stimulus,
there's
a
question
out
there.
H
We
could
have
a
double
digit
double
dip
recession
and,
aside
from
that,
there's
certainly
a
lot
of
people
out
there
who
are
who
are
suffering
financially
currently
so
so
now
we
have
some
numbers.
This
is
on
page
eight
of
the
end
of
the
report.
It
is
a
key
report.
Sorry,
it's
kind
of
like
an
eye
chart,
there's
a
lot
of
numbers
there.
H
One
thing
we
did
this
year
was
we
shaded
a
couple
things,
one
just
the
2020
column,
so
you
can
pick
that
out
and
then
the
variances
to
budget
over
on
the
right
side
and
in
reviewing
the
report,
it's
always
helpful
for
like
revenues.
If
you
scan
down
the
shaded
column
on
the
right,
you
can
see
some
of
the
variances
sales
tax
is
the
second
one
and
it
was
1.4
million
over
budget,
and
so
on.
H
The
other
thing
with
revenues
is
we
do
have
the
governor's
public
safety
grant
initiative
revenue
booked
in
fiscal
year
2020
due
to
accounting
rules,
it's
really
a
fiscal
year,
2021
item,
but
that
is
in
there
going
down
to
expenditures
again
in
the
blue
shading.
You
will
see
personnel,
6.3
million
below
budget
and
then
maintenance
operations,
15.7
million
under
budget.
H
H
H
H
If
we
include
parking
fines,
it
was
about
eight
hundred
thousand
and
then
again,
sales
tax,
1.4
million
above
budget
a
surprise
how
well
that
held
up
and
there's
a
there's,
a
lot
of
parts
of
the
economy
out
there
that
are
actually
doing
quite
well
like
recreational
vehicles,
and
such
we've
talked
to
the
state
tax
commission
on
how
these
numbers
are
so
good.
Also,
development
fees,
construction
continued:
we
did
not
have
a
high
bar
for
a
budget,
but
still
it
was.
It
was
good
performance.
H
Looking
back
at
how
construction
continued
and
development
fees
came
in
above
budget
also,
just
a
point
of
notice,
property
tax
was
slightly
above
budget.
We
thought
there
might
be
a
drop
in
tax
payments
as
the
economy
ground
to
a
halt
in
the
spring.
H
That
really
did
not
occur,
and
then
there
always
are
some
prior
year
payments
which
come
in.
So
that's
how
we
end
up
slightly
above
budget
and
then
also
just
to
note
the
27.9
million
for
the
the
property
tax
reduction
for
fiscal
year
2021,
that
is
in
the
revenue,
and
when
we
look
at
revenues
to
do
comparison,
we
took
that
out
and
then
moving
on
to
expenses
again
personnel,
nearly
four
percent
below
budget
6.3
million
again
hiring
freeze,
fewer
seasonal
and
temporary
employees,
maintenance
and
operations,
15.7
million
nearly
30
below
budget
again
proactive,
cost-saving
efforts.
H
Citywide
really
brought
this
down.
When
we
look
at
the
15.7
million
over
14
million
is
shown
in
the
bullet
points
below
there
operating
contingencies.
H
Also
in
miscellaneous
expenses,
they
were
nearly
four
million
below
budget.
2.3
million
of
this
was
due
to
the
timing
of
vrt
grant
funds.
A
large
portion
of
that
will
be
re-budgeted,
but
that's
what's
going
on
there,
and
that
brings
us
to
the
the
re-budget
topic.
We've
got
these
savings,
but
again
a
significant
amount
of
savings
are
for
things
which
will
be
move
forward
to
fiscal
2021
as
rebudgets
or
we're
encumbered.
H
There
was
a
pandemic
related
grant,
which
has
helped
offset
some
of
that
revenue
loss
and
keep
the
airport
so
that
their
their
financials
are
not
too
far
out
of
whack
operating
expenditures
were
also
down:
6.6
million
about
15
percent
364
000
of
that
was
in
personnel,
three
and
a
half
million
in
maintenance
and
operations,
and
then
2.7
million
in
miscellaneous
expense.
H
Capital
revenue
was
also
down
driven
by
the
pandemic.
Limiting
air
travel
just
another
other
impact
revenues
for
this
year
and
then,
as
you
know,
there
was
a
lot
of
capital
projects
that
were
planned.
The
year
had
87
million
of
budgeted
capital
projects
about,
22
million
was
done,
and
basically
just
the
pandemic,
and
the
very
significant
reduction
in
travel
has
caused
a
reevaluation
of
the
planned
projects
so,
as
airport
recovers,
those
will
hopefully
come
back,
but
that
may
take
some
time.
H
The
geothermal
fund
revenue
for
water
sales
was
144
000,
nearly
20
percent
under
budget
and
also
70
000
below
last
year.
Driving
factors
here
is
a
relatively
warm
winter
as
far
as
weather
goes.
There's
also
some
evidence
that
the
pandemic
just
lowered
heating
demand
for
downtown
fewer
people
around
buildings
didn't
have
quite
the
the
heating
demand.
If,
if
workers
aren't
here,
total
operating
costs
were
10,
10.5
percent
below
budget.
H
Moving
on
to
solid
waste
fund,
departmental
revenue
for
fees
was
slightly
below
budget
838
thousand
about
two
percent,
there's
some
sense:
the
pandemic
reduced
demand
or
growth
slightly
there
operating
expenses
like
we've
seen
elsewhere,
were
eighty
nine.
H
Just
slightly
under
budget
for
water
renewal
fund
the
fee
revenue
there
was
3.3
percent
over
budget
about
1.8
million.
The
budget
did
not
reflect
the
5
rate
increase,
so
if
it
had
been
in
there,
you
would
have
expected
or
without
that
in
there
you
would
expect
more.
Like
a
five
percent
increase
versus
three
point:
three
percent,
it
appears
there's
some
softness
in
revenue
and
demand
for
services.
Given
the
pandemic
and
closed
businesses
failed
businesses,
crop
revenue
was
also
down.
H
That's
what's
what's
driving
that
there,
why
it's
not
a
higher
increase?
What
was
higher
was
capital
revenue.
It
was
10.6
million
and
that
is
due
from
development
contributions
and
connection
fees
that
exceeded
the
budget
significantly
by
55,
and
that
is
hard
to
predict
when,
when
those
development
contributions
and
fees
come
in
total
operating
expenditures,
53.7
million
were
1.1
percent
below
budget.
This
was
due
to
maintenance
and
operations
costs.
H
Personnel
cost
was
actually
above
budget,
the
enterprise
funds
had
large
or
significant
pension
liability
adjustments.
These
are
non-cash
expenses,
but
they
they
do
need
to
book
the
expense
and
the
one
in
the
water
renewal
fund
was
2.1
million
that
drew
a
personnel
cost
up.
H
H
Moving
on
to
housing
funds,
revenue
was
50
of
budget
there's
a
number
of
programs
in
these
funds
and
timing,
a
federal
grant
reimbursements
or
when
these
projects
start
is
what
drives
revenue
here,
likely
some
slowdowns
and
projects.
There
is
the
cause
of
that.
Likewise,
operating
expenditures
were
under
budget
significantly
and
again,
there's
just
a
variety
of
programs.
So
we
we
see
fluctuation
in
there,
it's
nothing
to
too
atypical
for
the
housing
funds.
When
we
look
at
them
all
together,
property
management,
rent
revenue
was
below
budget
48
000.
H
We
had
rental
turnovers
and
vacancies
a
little
higher
than
projected
and
I
believe,
we're
still
doing
the
renovations
up
on
vista,
which
is
driving
the
the
vacancies.
As
those
units
get
rebuilt,
operating
expenditures
were
below
budget,
we
had
reduced
emino
costs,
just
some
things
were
delayed
and
costs
were
safe
there
as
well
fleet
services
revenue
was
sixty,
seven
thousand
about
two
percent
below
budget.
Do
the
pandemic.
Reducing
services
by
city
departments
for
vehicles,
fewer
city
vehicles,
being
driven
fewer
miles,
just
reduces
their
workload.
H
H
Risk
management
workers,
comp
revenue
of
7.1
million,
was
2
percent
above
budget
expenditures
were
2.1
million
under
budget.
This
is
due
to
the
mid-year
funding
increase.
We
did
a
year
ago,
two
million
dollars
of
year-end
funds
went
into
workers
comp
and
that
raised
the
expense
budget.
So
the
claims
are
out
there
that
we
believe
will
will
bring
in
the
expenses
just
they
have
not
not
come
in
yet
so
expenditures
came
in
under
budget.
H
Due
to
that
reason,
costs
are
expected
to
continue
to
trend
higher,
given
new
legislation
more
and
larger
claims
and
the
higher
self-insurance
threshold
every
every
claim
we
have
to
pay
cost
the
city
more
before
the
insurance
kicks
in
and
then
the
last
fund
to
cover
here
is
a
capital
fund.
H
Capital
fund
revenues
were
32.5
million;
it
was
10
million
less
than
budgeted.
This
is
primarily
due
to
timing
of
projects
and
impact
fee
transfers
that
comes
in
as
revenue.
Five
million
is
recommended
for
re-budget
into
fiscal
year
2021..
H
Likewise,
capital
expenses
were
18
million
below
the
budget,
and
that
was
32.2
million
below
the
budget.
24.6
million
is
recommended
for
rebudget
into
next
year.
H
H
Okay,
the
economic
brief
is
in
the
back
of
the
packet
of
the
your
electronic
copy,
page
64-74
and
just
a
few
highlights
employment.
For
september
the
unemployment
rate
was
5.8
percent.
That
was
up
from
a
very
low
2.1
percent
a
year
ago.
So
unemployment
is
is
still
high.
We've
had
some
recovery
I'll
show
you
a
graph
in
a
minute
october
came
down
a
little
bit.
H
The
labor
force
during
the
fiscal
year
grew
by
4
500
workers
about
a
3.4
increase,
but
there
were
fewer
jobs.
If
you
look
year
to
year
year
end
to
year
end
and
then
some
economic
sectors
have
recovered.
H
Some
are
doing
well,
some
remain
badly
damaged,
that's
just
what's
what's
going
on
out
there
and
with
a
vaccine
that
should
start
to
improve
in
other
sectors,
but
that's
going
to
probably
take
some
time
and
in
the
meantime,
we've
got
unemployment
and
we've
got
some
businesses
which
continue
to
struggle
very
much
and
that
affects
a
lot
of
people.
A
I
Go
ahead.
Thank
you.
Madam
mayor
yeah,
I
have
a
question
about
the
unemployment.
The
idaho
department
of
labor,
I'm
seeing
from
social
media
posts
that
something
I
feared
would
happen
is
starting
to
happen,
and
that
is
that
the
department
of
labor's
fraud
unit
is
starting
to
basically
go
after
people
who
were
possibly
overpaid
or
some
sort
of
error
may
have
happened
in
getting
monies
out
to
them
and
it
seems
like
they
are
now
trying
to
recoup
those
funds
and,
as
you
mentioned,
we're
not.
J
I
Of
the
woods-
and
you
know
I-
I
speak
from
knowledge
of
what
it's
like
to
be
in
a
situation
like
that,
where
there
is
confusion
about
whether
or
not
someone
is
owed
monies
and
then
putting
them
in
the
position
to
need
legal
resources
to
advocate
for
themselves-
and
you
know,
our
people
are
suffering
so
much
right
now
that
to
put
that
on
them,
when
we
are
just
barely
getting
to
the
point
where
we
may
have
access
to
vaccine
and
who
knows,
if
everyone
who
has
access
to
that
medication
will
actually
take
it.
I
I
just
want
to
know
you
know
what
are
what
are
we
hearing
in
terms
of
you
know,
perhaps
if
the
department
of
labor
would
hold
off
on
their
normal
approach
of
going
back
and
trying
to
recruit
funds
that
may
or
may
not
have
been
given
to
the
public
erroneously,
either
through
the
individual's
error
or,
quite
frankly,
the
department
of
labor's
error.
H
Madam
mayor
councilman
sanchez,
I
did
see
an
article
in
the
idaho
statesman
about
that
a
day
or
two
ago
where,
yes,
it
sounds
like
if
you
do
not
agree
to
pay
back
something
for
like
it's
often
the
the
waiting
week
or
some
something
someone
improperly
claims
benefits
during
that
week,
and
then
they
discover
it,
and
if
you
don't
agree
to
a
payment
plan,
then
later
on,
it
will
come
out
of
tax
refunds
or
other
things.
H
So,
yes,
that
does
appear
to
be
the
case
that
there
are
some
people
that
got
overpaid
a
little
bit
and
unfortunately,
that's
what
what
typically
occurs
there.
I
don't
know
much
more
about
that.
The
other
thing
worth
mentioning
is
that
later
this
month,
the
extended
federal
unemployment
benefits
would
expire
without
more
stimulus
to
carry
them
forward.
So
another
big
lever
there,
as
far
as
helping
people
out
who
are
in
in
need
right
now.
I
I
I
mean
there
were
people
who,
from
what
I
understand,
still
haven't
received
their
benefits
that
they
applied
for
back
in
the
spring,
and
I
just
fear
that
we're
you
know
our
people
are
going
to
be
in
trouble
and
that
we
need
agencies
like
the
department
of
labor
to
do
better.
Quite
honestly,
right
now
is
not
the
time
to
be
going
after
funds
when
our
people
desperately
need
them,
and
the
reality
is.
The
department
of
labor
does
not
record
its
phone
calls
with
claimants.
I
H
Okay.
Next
point
is
the
construction
development
from
for
the
fiscal
year
from
what's
going
on
there
for
the
fiscal
year
annual
permit
volume
of
21
697
permits
was
down
slightly
about
two
percent
from
the
year
before
total
development
revenue
decreased,
6.4
percent
about
a
million
dollars
and
while
they're
slightly
lower.
If
you
would
ask
me
months
ago,
I
would
have
said
they
could
have
been
significantly
lower
than
that.
That's
still
actually
a
good
year
and
fiscal
year,
2019
was
a
record
year
as
far
as
revenues
go
so.
H
We
do
see
a
subdued
level
of
construction
development,
but
still
things
are
continuing
and
moving
forward
and
was
a
very
active
environment,
very
strong
first
quarter,
so
hopefully
that
will
pick
up
as
we
get
through
the
winter
and
get
the
vaccine
out
and
move
forward.
Hopefully,
that
will
will
recover
fully
in
in
short
order
sales
tax
city
sales,
tax
receipts
were
up
4.1
percent
over
the
fiscal
year
before
again,
that
was
kind
of
a
surprise.
H
It's
worth
knowing
state
receipts
were
up
even
more.
Some
of
his
is
due
to
online
payers
which
new
online
payers
for
another
four
years,
their
sales
tax
revenues
go
into
a
tax
relief
fund.
They
don't
go
into
revenue
sharing
with
cities
and
counties,
also
looking
forward
new
idaho
legislation
as
of
july,
we
expect
that
will
cap
the
city's
sales
tax
growth
at
one
percent
this
year
most
of
this
year
it
actually
ends
with
the
state's
fiscal
year.
H
Each
year
the
state
will
take
a
look
at
sales
tax
per
capita
across
different
cities.
Look
at
an
average
if
you're
above
average,
you
get
limited
to
one
percent
growth,
if
you're
below
average,
you
get
higher
growth.
This
is
an
effort
to
balance
out
sales
tax
on
per
capita
basis
across
the
state
and
then
the
last
point
here,
air
traffic
airport
traffic
again
is
way
down.
It
has
improved
from
a
low
in
april.
H
H
H
H
And
then
this
graph
just
shows
the
permit
revenue
the
green
line
off
to
the
right.
The
high
line
was
how
strong
the
first
quarter
of
2020
was,
and
then
the
blue
dotted
line
shows
what
we've
been
doing.
It's
been
flat
through
the
rest
of
fiscal
year
20,
but
again
it
was
a
pretty
good
year.
A
Before
eric
jumps
in,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
mike
and
also
preemptively
eric
for
the
work
that
you
and
your
team
together
have
done
this
year.
You
know
this
was
a
challenging
year.
It
was
challenging
at
the
in
the
early
part
of
the
year
because
we
weren't
sure
you
know
what
to
expect
with
covet
and
we
needed
to
make
sure
that
we
had
resources
set
aside.
A
We
had
new,
almost
infrastructure
that
we
had
to
prop
up
to
meet
community
needs
based
on
coveted
we
needed
to
set
aside
funding
for
a
reserve,
and
then
all
of
us,
of
course,
with
a
you
know,
an
affordable
housing
need
in
this
community,
an
affordability
crisis.
That's
only
been
exaggerated
since
covet
that
you
know
you
helped
us
be
able
to
address
through
property
taxes
and
changing
our
budgets,
and
just
as
we
go
into
budget
changes,
and
we
look
at
where
we
ended
up,
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
it
was.
A
You
know
the
work
that
all
of
you
did
in
consultation
and
in
partnership
with
council
that
made
it
possible
for
us
to
be
conservative
in
our
budget
settings
and
come
up
with
funds
that
we
needed
to
provide
unexpected
services
to
the
residents
and
now
to
take
to
take
the
unexpected
funding
results
to
cover
some
of
those
costs.
That
we've
been
out
because
revenues
weren't
covered
by
cares,
funding
and
then
to
prepare
for
the
future
and
to
really
address
community
needs.
So
just
want
to
acknowledge
the
work
that
you've
done
and
appreciate
it.
E
Mayor
and
I
will
just
echo
the
mayor's
thanks
to
mike
and
eric
and
the
whole
team
on
working
through
these
budget
issues
in
such
an
unusual
year.
E
It's
not
unusual
at
this
time
of
year
for
us
to
have
a
list
of
priorities
that
aren't
completely
fleshed
out.
So
I
appreciate
all
of
the
buckets,
if
you
will
of
funding
for
particular
initiatives
and
just
want
to
clarify
not
you
already
said
it,
but
just
want
to
reiterate,
if
you
will,
that
city
council
looks
forward
to
working
on
the
specific
specifics
of
the
initiatives,
for
instance
in
housing,
transportation,
economic
development,
innovation
and
performance
and
climate
action.
E
So
I
know
that
this
next
few
months
will
be
a
busy
time
to
try
and
figure
out
how
to
take
advantage
of
the
fact
that
we
did
have
a
little
more
revenue
left
to
put
towards
some
of
these
initiatives
and
look
forward
to
working
on
that.
J
J
We
have
two
interim
budget
changes,
the
first
being
a
revenue
neutral
grant
from
the
idaho
department
of
lands
which
allows
the
city
to
address
hazardous
land
fuels
and
education
efforts,
and
then
the
second
item
is
for
janitorial
services.
This
item
was
discussed
during
the
development
of
the
fiscal
year
21
budget.
J
I'll
also
note
that
this
item
is
really
kind
of
the
first
phase
of
a
larger
approach
to
how
janitorial
services
are
provided
at
city
hall
and
city
hall
west
once
we
get
through
covid.
The
idea
is
that
we
will
move
from
a
model
where
we
have
reduced
frequency
to
maybe
increasing
the
level
of
frequency
for
garbage
collection,
but
it
would
occur
in
a
different
manner,
meaning
rather
than
having
individual
garbage
and
recycling
at
desks
and
cubicles
and
offices.
J
It
would
go
to
a
more
centralized
approach,
which
would
you
know,
allow
for
feeding
into
some
of
our
sustainability
goals,
so
I'll
now
move
into
the
end-of-year
recommendations
that
are
achievable
because
of
the
the
the
good
management
from
staff
from
our
executive
management
team
from
the
mayor
and
council
and
from
some
of
those
revenues
that
mike
outlined.
So
the
first
recommendation
is
to
address
some
high
priority.
J
J
This
4.7
million
dollars
would
allow
for
some
very
significant,
meaningful
repairs
along
the
green
belt
along
shoreline
wood
duck
island
and
a
few
other
priority
areas.
It
would
allow
for
repairs
to
the
boise
depot.
J
This
funding
would
allow
for
the
remediation
of
some
of
the
the
algae
bloom
issues
and
an
ongoing
remediation
for
those
algae
bloom
issues
at
esther
simplot
in
quinn's
pond,
to
hopefully
make
those
assets
available
throughout
the
summer
in
perpetuity
and
then
various
other
needs,
including
parking
lot
resurfacing.
J
Various
accessibility
measures,
the
restroom
replacement
at
road
skate
park,
eagle
rock
park
tree
tree
removal,
hazardous
tree
removal,
various
other
improvements,
one
of
the
things
when
it
comes
to
parks,
major
repairs
and
maintenance,
and
really
major
repairs
and
maintenance
altogether.
Is
that
it's
it's
very
important.
You
address
those
things
as
needs
are
identified
and
you
don't
fall
behind
to
the
degree
that
you
fall
behind
and
you're,
not
proactively
maintaining
assets,
it
just
becomes
very,
very
costly
repairs
become
worse
and
it's
a
very
difficult
cycle
to
come
out
of.
J
So
it's
a
really
positive
development
that
we
can
allocate
these
funds
here.
Excuse
me,
the
second
recommendation
is
for
the
completion
of
two
parks
bowden
park,
which
is
out
in
the
central
bench
near
south
pool
at
south
junior
high
and
then
mullin
our
park
out
in
the
southwest.
J
Both
of
these
parks,
bowden
was
actually
beyond
the
10-year
capital
improvement
plan.
The
master
plan
called
for
the
the
establishment
of
a
playground.
This
funding
will
allow
for
an
accessible
playground
in
that
area
that
that
it's
sorely
needed
and
then
molinar
that
project
has
been
funded
over
time.
There's
been
some
funding
gaps
associated
with
the
playground
structure
and
with
the
splash
pad
that
those
funds
have
been
allocated
about
18
months
ago.
J
This
funding
would
also
allow
for
the
completion
of
the
walking
path
out
of
that
park,
and
then
the
remaining
parks
amenities
play
like
the
basketball
and
tennis
and
skatepark,
are
funded
in
subsequent
years
of
our
capital
improvement
plan.
J
Mike
spoke
a
little
bit
about
workers,
compensation
and
rising
costs
associated
with
workers.
Comp
claims
allocating
two
million
dollars
will
help
to
stabilize
that
fund
and
also
help
reduce
the
rate
of
growth
of
contributions.
J
As
we
look
into
our
forecast
in
future
years
from
the
general
fund
into
the
compensation
fund,
these
unallocated
funding
amounts
will
allow
for
us
to
address
some
projected
revenue
shortfalls
in
fiscal
year.
J
21.
so
mike
spoke
about
revenue
shortfalls
that
were
experienced
in
both
parks
and
recreation
and
parking
we
anticipate
due
to,
I
guess,
the
condition
of
covid.
As
we
see
it
right
now.
We
anticipate
falling
short
absent
these
measures
in
both
of
these
categories
in
fiscal
year,
21.
J
There
are
a
series
of
strategic
initiatives
which
councilmember
clay
referenced
a
moment
ago.
We
have
staff
available
if
there
are
any
questions,
but
3.3
million
dollars
is
allocated
for
housing,
innovation,
transportation,
economic
development,
innovation,
performance,
climate
action,
leadership,
development
and
community
engagement.
These
are
long-standing
mayor
and
city
council
priorities
that
we
are
in
a
position
to
be
able
to
to
make
some
advancements
on.
In
some
of
these
areas,
there
were
plans
that
were
established
as
part
of
the
fiscal
year
21
budget
development
process.
J
J
There
are
funds
allocated
to
advance
efforts
associated
with
internships
fellowships
and
then
onboarding
of
board
and
commission
members,
and
after
that
there
is
approximately
just
just
over
900
000
available
to
be
transferred
to
our
capital
fund
for
future
uses.
J
We
signaled
as
part
of
the
fiscal
year
21
process
that
there
was
a
cost
associated
with
case
management,
software
for
our
legal
team,
we're
still
kind
of
working
through
those
costs,
but
we
do
anticipate
bringing
forward
a
re-budget
or
s
interim
budget
change,
request
that
would
use
utilize
a
portion
of
those
funds
later
on
this
fiscal
year.
K
Madam
mayor
go
ahead,
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
circle
back
on
something
that
eric
had
said
in
in
a
bit
of
process
that
I
think
council
president
claire
alluded
to
earlier.
So
on
the
strategic
initiatives
piece.
Once
the
plans
are
produced,
then
any
expenditures
to
implement
the
plans.
We'll
then
come
back
to
city
council.
Is
that
how
I'm
understanding
it
to
work.
J
I
thank
you
council,
member
for
for
those
plans,
such
as
the
economic
development
plan,
and,
I
think,
there's
a
couple
of
others.
I
think
that
they
would
come
forward
for
for
specific,
specific
action.
K
Approval,
madam
mayor,
I
mean
one
area
of
concern
that
I
have
is
we
have
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
innovation
and
performance
without
any
real
specific
measures
or
plans
attached
to
it.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we
see
where
the
money
goes
part
of
what
we
do
for
the
city
is
we
make
sure
that
taxpayer
funds
are
spent
appropriately,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
proper
oversight
there.
A
K
E
Vladimir
yep,
thank
you.
I
I
appreciate
that
clarification.
That
was
what
I
was
trying
to
say,
probably
not
very
artfully.
I
guess
eric
the
other
question.
The
0.9
million
to
the
capital
fund
looks
like
there
may
be
a
an
expenditure
looming
for
case
management
and
legal.
That
too,
would
come
back
to
us
is
that
is
that
correct,
before
it
was
spent.
E
The
capital
fund
is
just
a
big
fund
and
actual
expenditures.
Out
of
it
come
back
to
us.
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
for
members
of
the
public
who
may
be
watching,
sometimes
I
think
it's
it
seems
really
opaque
to
people
that
what
we're
doing
here,
it's
always
good
to
make
sure
that
that
people
understand
that
this
creates
the
opportunity,
and
then
the
opportunity
is
seen
through
later
with
another
action.
A
J
Thank
you
mayor,
so
I
guess
to
conclude,
the
end-of-year
exercise
we'd
be
looking
for
approval
on
our
end
of
year
report.
The
interim
budget
changes
those
associated
with
the
unallocated
funding
from
fiscal
year,
20
and
otherwise,
and
all
other
all
other
interim
budget
changes
as
part
of
the
the
actions
earlier
in
the
in
the
council
meeting
the
contingent
appropriation
use
and
the
re-budget
and
comfort
items
were
approved.
E
All
right,
anna
mayor,
I
think
we
can
handle
these
first
three.
I
hope
in
one
motion.
I
would
move
that
we
approve
the
end-of-year
report
and
the
associated
interim
budget
changes
for
end-of-year
unallocated
funds
and
the
other
interim
budget
changes,
as
included
in
the
interim
budget
change
report
presented.
E
F
C
C
F
C
E
Could
for
the
council
members,
especially
council,
member
beijing
and
hallie
burton
who
really
haven't
been
through
this
process
before
this
is
actually
kind
of
the
kickoff
of
next
year's
budget
process,
where
we've
now
allocated
the
funds
that
we
have
left
from
this
year,
so
that,
as
we
start
the
next
year,
we
can
begin
looking
at
what
opportunities
or
challenges
are
before
us
and
appreciate
the
level
of
detail
that
we
got
this
year
on
on
knowing
what
some
of
those
opportunities
and
challenges
are.
So
thank
you.
A
D
I
just
want
to
say
vocalize
my
appreciation
for
councilmember
clegg
and
kind
of
helping
guide,
some
of
the
new
council
members
through
this
process,
also
council,
member
sanchez-
and
I
I
think,
have
the
honor
of
sitting
as
liaisons
for
the
parks
and
rec
commission,
and
I
am
really
excited
to
see
the
different
things
that
we
hope
to
be
able
to
do
with
this
end-of-year
funding,
knowing
that
our
parks
are
being
more
heavily
used
than
they've
ever
been
used
before
and
there's
certainly
a
need
there
and
the
two
of
the
items
on
there
specifically
have
to
do
with
keeping
kids
cool,
whether
that's
the
algae
treatment
or
the
splash
pad
at
walnut
park,
and
in
a
year
where
we
may
not
be
able
to
open
our
pools.
D
A
A
I
appreciate
maria
being
here,
I've
combed
through
a
lot
of
the
responses,
and
I
find
it
them
very
very
interesting
and
maria
has
done
even
more
combing
to
share
with
us
on
what
we've
learned
so
far
as
we
look
to
from
the
next
steps
in
from
a
policy
perspective
and
keeping
our
community
safe,
but
before
we
do
that,
nobody
can
see
them,
except
for
the
three
of
us
that
are
the
four
of
us
that
are
back
here.
A
We've
got
jim
schiffler,
our
downtown
officer,
that's
here
at
city
hall
today
today
is
his
last
city
council
meeting
as
a
member
of
the
boise
police
department.
He
will
be
retiring,
and
so
that's
why
I
was
like
wildly
motioning
that
I
wanted
jim
to
come
in
for
a
second
just,
so
we
could
say
thank
you.
A
A
Yeah.
It's
been
been
lovely,
so
congratulations,
though
you
deserve
it.
Next
chapter
better
make
it
fun,
because
otherwise
we'd
like
to
have
you
here.
Okay,
thank
you
all
right,
maria.
If
you'll
jump
in.
L
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
and
council
members
at.
Can
you
all
see
the
screen
that
I
shared
I'm
not
as
confident
as
eric
with
the
screen
sharing.
So
I
see
it
and
I
feel
like
it's
fitting
to
be
here
in
front
of
you
with
these
survey
results
on
the
day
that
officer
schiffler
is
retiring.
L
I
first
met
him
when
he
was
at
my
former
place
of
work,
doing
an
active,
shooter
training
and
while
it
was
at
both
times
a
little
alarming,
I
felt
great
comfort
like
knowing
that
bpd
had
that
training
in
in
place.
L
You
will
remember
that
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
chief
lee
was
in
front
of
you
talking
about
some
potential
policy
changes
and
that
he
and
bpd
are
looking
at,
and
we
fielded
a
survey
for
the
community
right
after
that
presentation.
L
We
kept
it
over
for
kept
it
open
for
a
couple
of
weeks
with
the
goal
of
really
hearing
from
the
community
about
their
thoughts,
their
concerns,
their
hopes,
their
desires
and
getting
some
input
on
some
of
the
specific
policies
that
chiefly
is
thinking
about
and
proposing.
L
So
I'm
going
to
give
you
a
very
high
level
view
of
those
survey
results.
We
got
about
250
pages
of
results,
a
lot
of
open-ended
questions
which
we
did
very
intentionally
so
that
the
community
could
give
us
their
feedback
in
their
with
their
words
and
their
experiences
and
their
concerns
and
their
thoughts.
So
it's
a
lot
to
read
through.
I
will
tell
you
that
our
respondents
are
incredibly
incredibly
thoughtful
and
we
did
not
get
a
lot
of
sound
bites.
L
We
got
a
lot
of
really
thoughtful,
thought-provoking
interesting
and
important
comments
from
the
community
and-
and
I
would
encourage
you
if
you're
interested
in
digging
deeper,
to
read
through
some
of
those
comments,
because
they're
really
they're
really
terrific
okay.
So
that
being
said,
I'm
going
to
like
kind
of
bust
through
some
of
the
demographics
and
the
way
that
we
did
the
community
survey.
To
give
you
a
sense
of
it.
We
had
723
total
responses
to
give
you
some
context.
That's
pretty
good!
That's
about!
L
We
usually
get
about
a
third
to
a
half
as
many
responses
when
we
put
a
community
survey
like
this
out
so
of
those
723
responses,
631
or
boise
residents.
So
I've
narrowed
the
data
feedback
that
I'm
giving
to
you
just
by
boise
residents,
but
just
know
we
did
have
like
a
total
of
723..
L
L
I
think
it
went
out
through
the
council
account
through
the
mayor's
social
media
account
through
several
personal
accounts.
We
used
our
internal
and
external
newsletters
to
push
it
out
a
couple
of
a
couple
of
different
times.
We
worked
with
community
partners
to
make
sure
we
got
as
deep
into
the
community
as
we
could.
We
encouraged
our
liaison
officers
to
share
it
with
the
communities
that
they
liaised
to.
L
We
work
pretty
hard
to
get
it
out
into
the
community
and
we're
continuing
to
work
to
make
sure
that
as
we're
putting
our
surveys
out
to
the
community
that
we're
getting
them
out
as
deeply
as
possible,
we
did
from
the
very
beginning
produced
both
in
english
and
a
spanish
version
of
the
survey
from
the
get-go.
L
The
caveat
with
our
under
24
is
that
we
didn't
ask
school-age
kids
to
fill
out
the
survey.
So
it's
probably
not
wildly
underperforming
it's,
but
when
we
try
to
compare
it
with
census
data,
it
can
be
a
little
tricky.
Sometimes
apples
to
oranges
or
the
one
group
that
was
over
represented
in
terms
of
age
was
35
to
54..
The
bulk
of
our
respondents
fell
into
that
35
to
54
age
range
and
you'll
notice
substantially.
L
Women
are
overrepresented
in
this
particular
sample
of
those
who
chose
to
respond
to
the
survey
in
the
city
of
boise,
we're
more
at
like
a
51
49,
split
women
and
men
and
you'll
see
by
the
results.
We
were
56
female
and
then
we
tracked
non-binary
the
census
does
not.
So
that's
an
extra
data
point.
L
We're
going
to
get
this
dialed
in
with
ipt
and
cnce
are
working
on
a
team
to
really
think
through
the
way
we
do
these
community
surveys,
so
we
can
make
sure
that
we're
getting
back
very,
very
consistent
data
and
data
that
allows
us
to
track
next
to
like
existing
census
tract
data.
So
for
this
survey
we
used
what
surveymonkey
recommended,
which
is
a
little
bit
different
than
the
census
tract
categories.
L
That
being
said,
when
we
look
at
the
racial
distribution
of
the
survey
and
the
racial
distribution
of
the
census,
data
from
2019,
we
came
really
really
close
and
mem,
and
members
of
our
communities
of
color,
the
black
african-american
community
and
multi
multiracial
community
were
very
well
represented
in
this
sample
and
the
white
community
just
like
a
tiny
bit
underrepresented,
but
not
substantially
enough.
I
think
to
be
statistically
significant.
L
The
one
place
we
did
see
a
pretty
substantial
gap
was
in
education.
Respondents
to
this
survey
were
very
highly
educated.
We
saw
a
much
higher
level
of
graduate
school
level.
Education
of
respondents
in
this
survey
than
we
do
in
the
community
at
large,
so
not
entirely
sure
how
to
account
for
that,
but
just
wanted
to
make
sure
to
bring
that
to
your
attention
that
this,
the
the
level
of
education
was,
was
pretty
high.
Among
respondents
of
this
survey.
L
So
getting
into
kind
of
the
nuts
and
bolts
of
it.
The
first
question
we
asked
was
really
simple:
what
does
public
safety
mean
to
you
and
by
and
large
overwhelmingly
respondents
answered
with
some
version
of
you
know.
I
just
want
to
be
able
to
live
my
life.
I
want
to
be
able
to
walk
around.
I
want
to
be
able
to
take
my
kids
to
play.
L
I
want
to
be
able
to
go
to
parks,
enjoy
everything
there
is
to
be
about
boise
and
not
feel
worried,
not
feel
like
I'm
going
to
be
the
victim
of
a
crime,
not
worry
that
I'm
going
to
be
harassed,
and
I
want
my
neighbors
to
be
able
to
do
the
same
thing.
I
want
everybody
to
be
treated
equitably,
and
I
want
to
know
that
if
something
happens,
there's
someone
that
I
can
call
for
help.
L
That
was
that
sort
of
overwhelming
theme
that
came
from
that
now
there
was
a
healthy
dose
of
law
and
order
mixed
in
you
know.
We
want
to
make
sure
the
laws
are
like
really
strictly
enforced
and
substantially
throughout
the
survey,
not
only
in
this
question
but
in,
like
every
other
question
that
we
asked,
our
respondents
used
it
as
an
opportunity
to
talk
to
us
about
their
desire
to
see
stronger
enforcement
of
traffic
rules
and
regulations.
L
Other
thing
to
note
is
that
there's
a
really
broad
view
of
what
public
safety
means
among
our
respondents,
not
only
did
folks
mention
crime
like
wanting
to
feel
safe
out
in
the
community.
They
mentioned
a
whole
host
of
other
kinds
of
issues:
public
health,
access
to
services,
safe
buildings,
safe
food
to
eat
like
the
kind
of
the
whole
gamut
of
what
you
might
think
about.
When
you
think
about
public
safety,
it
was,
it
was
all
across
the
board.
L
Now
again,
this
is
really
high
level,
and
I
want
to
generalize-
because
we
do
know
that
that
individuals
experience
this
very
differently
and
may
define
some
of
these
things
very
differently
in
in
the
ways
in
which
they're
saying
it.
But
it
was
very
remarkable
to
see
how
many
people
answered
it
in
really
really
similar
ways.
L
So
then
we
asked
how
safe
do
you
currently
feel
as
a
resident
of
boise
and
overwhelmingly
folks
feel
see,
told
us
they
feel
very
safe
or
somewhat
safe,
pretty
positive
numbers
here,
and
I
will
make
sure
that
you
all
have
access
to
this
slideshow
as
well.
So
I
know
we're
going
through
it
fairly
quickly,
but
I'll
make
sure
that
you
have
access
to
it
right
after
this
presentation.
L
The
one
question
that
I
think
caused
us
a
little
bit
of
concern
and
that
I'd
like
to
do
a
little
bit
of
a
deeper
dive
into
with
our
data
team
is.
We
asked,
has
your
feeling
of
safety
improved
or
declined
in
the
past
year,
and
we
saw
a
substantial
number
of
folks,
almost
50
saying
declined,
and
so
I
think
that
that's
an
area
for
us
to
pay
just
a
little
bit
of
attention
to
it's
across
the
board.
L
We're
going
to
look
and
see
if
that
has
any
statistical
significance
with
any
of
the
demographic
information
that
we've
gathered
from
our
respondents.
But
it's
across
the
board
enough
that
some
of
it
may
just
be
a
result
of
this
like
very
unusual
time
that
we're
in
and
the
breadth
of
which
people
think
about
public
safety,
but
just
know.
I
I
anticipate
that
that
was
going
to
be
something
that
you
all
were
as
curious
about
as
we
are.
L
We
did
ask
we
did
want
to
kind
of
find
out
what
kind
of
interactions
people
had
with
bpd
as
they
were
thinking
through
this
survey,
and
we
allowed
them
to
choose
as
many
as
they
as
many
as
they
had
had.
So
this
doesn't
represent.
How
often
people
in
the
community
have
had
these
experiences.
We
asked
people
to
choose
whichever
they
had
so
you'll
see.
Traffic
stops.
Major
events
are
the
biggest
health
and
welfare
checks
kind
of
down
lower.
L
So
then,
on
policy
updates,
the
chief
had
presented
several
different
kind
of
policy
updates
that
he's
thinking
about,
and
we
asked
folks
to
rank
them
and
then
you'll
see
that
they're
presented
to
you
sort
of
in
the
order
in
which
they
scored.
So
the
system
kind
of
takes
all
of
that
information
together.
The
way
everybody
ranks
them
and
then
assigns
a
score
based
on
that
algorithm
so
far
and
above
you'll
see
that
the
responses
that
people
scored
they'd
like
to
see
a
focus
on
mental
health
addiction
and
homelessness
lower.
L
But
I
think
you
know
still
important,
which
is
why
we
see
chiefly
presenting
a
need
to
look
into
these
policies,
are
stopping
the
use
of
no
knock
warrants
and
banning
vascular
holds
and
then
right
in
the
middle,
adding
patrol
officers.
So
just
that's
kind
of
how
it
how
that
shook
out.
L
We
asked
about
crowd
management
and
I'm
really
glad
that
we
did
since
when
we
asked
what
kind
of
interactions
folks
had
had
with
bpd
attending
a
large
event
was
such
a
was
such
a
a
substantial
part
of
that.
So
one
person
said-
and
I
thought
this
was
this-
this
reflected
what
we
saw
through
a
lot
of
the
comments,
I'm
unfamiliar
with
the
current
process,
because
the
question
that
we
asked
is
that
we
said
bpd
is:
has
recently
updated
its
crowd
management
practices.
L
L
So
again,
we
know
folks
will
have
really
different
definitions
of
what
a
violent
group
is
very
different
definitions
of
intimidation,
very
different
definitions
of
freedom
of
speech,
but
this
was
the
major
theme
of
how
people
responded:
a
high
desire
for
freedom
of
speech
in
a
safe
in
a
safe
way
and
then
underneath
that
what
came
up
over
and
over
again
was
equal
treatment
during
an
event,
so
that
if
there
are
opposing
sides
to
a
particular
large
event
that
they're
treated
equally
by
the
police
department,
there
was
a
desire
for
physical
space.
L
In
the
event
that
there
are
different
sides
to
an
issue.
They
would
like
to
see
bp
bpd
respond
quickly,
de-escalate
any
hot
spots
that
arise
and
to
do
some
of
that
in
real
time
to
be
able
to
address
illegal
activity.
That
happens
in
large
events
in
real
time,
and
then
one
kind
of
caveat
to
this
to
this
last
one.
L
I
wanted
to
make
sure
to
bring
it
to
your
attention
because
it
came
up
so
much
in
the
answers
to
this
question,
and
it
is
something
that
is
not
in
the
jurisdiction
of
the
city
of
boise,
which
makes
it
a
little
bit
of
a
tricky
wicket.
But
folks,
a
big
theme
throughout
the
answers
to
this
question
were
people
feeling
uncomfortable
with
the
presence
of
guns
at
big
events
like
this.
So
with
that
caveat
not
in
in
the
city
of
boise's
jurisdiction,
but
it
came
up
so
regularly.
L
We
asked
also
about
recruitment,
training
and
leadership,
and
what
what
would
the
community
like
to
see
the
police
department
take
into
consideration
in
thinking
about
recruitment
and
thinking
about
leadership
and
training?
It's
broken
into
a
couple
of
different
categories:
you'll
see
in
recruitment.
We
heard
a
lot
about
diversity.
L
There
was
a
lot
of
feedback
in
the
survey
about
looking
for
officers
that
had
bachelor's
degrees
and
and
above
higher
levels
of
formal
education,
and
I
will
let
chief
lee
figure
out
how
that
all
like
comes
into
a
recruiting
a
recruiting
bubble
together.
I
trust
and
and
trust
him
certainly
more
than
I
trust
myself
to
find
police
officers
and
then
in
training
and
leadership.
L
A
lot
of
the
things
that
we
saw
come
up
in
the
other
questions,
so
a
real
focus
on
de-escalation
on
how
to
handle
mental
health
issues
when
they
come
into
contact
with
that
really
strong
emphasis
on
implicit
bias,
training,
transparency
and
the
discipline
in
the
discipline
process
and
then
increased
staffing.
I
think
increased
staffing
went
hand
in
hand
with
with
traffic,
with
the
need
to
to
see
more
enforcement,
around
traffic
type
issues.
L
We
asked
about
some
other
policy
updates
and
the
community
came
back
with
lots
and
lots
of
different
ideas
hard
to
kind
of
get
down
thematically.
So
I
included
some
here
again
a
focus
on
mental
health.
A
few
a
few
folks
suggested
a
special
unit
for
mental
for
mental
health
to
to
think
about
mental
health
issues
and
deal
with
those
in
our
community
strong
emphasis
on
enforcing
the
speed
limit,
enforcing
red
lights,
a
couple,
a
a
thread
of
bringing
back
the
ombudsman
a
process
for
feedback.
L
There
was
a
little
bit.
I
was
I
found
kind
of
interesting,
but
several
several
respondents
talked
about
evaluating
the
black
cars
that
bpd
uses
the
uniforms,
the
suvs
they
can
be
a
little
bit
intimidating
so
that
that
was
a
thread
that
ran
through
a
lot
of
the
comments.
Hiring
more
officers
and
increasing
funding
was
a
thread
continuing
the
emphasis
on
and
increasing
the
emphasis
on
community
policing
and
then
in
several
ways.
Respondents
brought
up
the
idea
of
like
hey:
should
police
officers
have
beats?
Should
we
do
kind
of
neighborhood
policing
again?
L
L
Now
I
wanted
to
give
you
the
the
sentiment
response
that
surveymonkey
develops
it's
a
little
bit
kitschy
but
really
represents
well
the
response
that
we
got
it
from
our
respondents
and
I
imagine
it
matches
what
all
of
you
are
getting.
I
see
a
lot
of
what
comes
in
through
the
mayor's
email.
I
get.
C
L
L
So
we,
it
was
a
little
risky,
but
we've
been
working
on
some
dashboards
in
response
to
what
you
all
in
the
community
asked
for
earlier
this
summer
and
chief
lee
has
been
encouraging
since
he
arrived
in
july,
they
are
in
their
infancy
and
we're
just
beginning
with
them,
but
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
giving
the
community
some
real,
tangible
things
to
weigh
in
on
in
this
survey
that
it
was
that
we
weren't
just
asking
a
bunch
of
kind
of
fluffy
questions.
L
The
biggest
piece
of
advice
that
we
got
and
that
we
know
is
kind
of
an
issue
and
we're
working
with
kyle
and
ipt
about
is
just
improving
the
mobile
view.
Our
current
dashboard
software,
I'm
going
to
be
way
out
over
my
skis
and
talking
about
like
the
background
platform
that
like
it's
built
on,
but
something
about
that
makes
it
a
little
bit
tricky
for
mobile
consumption.
L
So
that's
going
to
be
something
that
we
need
to
address
and
then
additional
dashboards
ideas
for
dashboards
that
came
up
for
traffic
use
of
force,
additional
demographics
and
types
of
offense,
but
so
far
they
seem
generally
user
friendly.
As
we
continue
to
develop
those
dashboards
we'll
make
sure
that
we're
getting
community
feedback
on
it
so
that
we're
developing
what
the
community
will
find
useful
and
in
ways
that
they
can
consume
the
information.
I
Good
good,
thank
you,
madam
mayor
hi,
maria.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
the
presentation
so
in
regards
to
the
dashboards.
Are
those
going
to
be?
Is
that
going
to
be
offered
in
multiple
languages,
or
at
least
spanish
as
well.
L
Yeah
we're
going
to
work
on
it.
We
were.
We
were
trying
to
get
that
ready
for
this
survey
and
it
just
was
like
the
platform
that
it
gets
built
in
and
the
way
that
the
data
is
brought
into
it.
We're
going
to
have
to
do.
I
think,
just
a
little
bit
more
work
on
the
back
end,
but
that
is
that
is
100
on
our
to-do
list.
I
L
L
L
I
think
I
think,
in
large
part
folks
also
want
to
see
how
some
of
these
other
with
demographics
want
to
see
how
demographics
interplay
with
types
of
offense
use
of
a
force,
traffic
stops,
and
things
like
that,
so
we're
going
to
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
that
really
right.
L
So
with
that,
I
would
say
any
other
questions
I
do
think
we
hopefully
still
have
chiefly
and
or
allison.
If
you
have
any
specific
policy
questions,
I
believe
next
steps
I'll
make
sure
that
you
have
the
deck
and
then,
if
anyone
wants
to
read
the
comments
themselves,
I
know
that
that
chief
lee
is
going
to
read
through
and
digest
all
of
the
comments
as
well
and
we'll
send
some
of
the
dashboard
information
to
the
folks
that
are
working
on
the
dashboard.
L
So
everybody's
really
got
a
good
sense
of
what
the
community
is
thinking
and
then
I
believe
chiefly
will
be
incorporating
the
community
feedback
into
further
recommendations
that
that
he'll
bring
forward.
K
And
a
mayor
yes,
go
ahead,
thank
you
so
much
maria
for
that
presentation.
It's
it's
great
to
see
that
so
many
people
decided
to
take
part
in
the
survey,
because
I
know
that
sometimes
it's
really
hard
to
get
people
to
especially
fill
out
surveys
with
open-ended
questions.
So
I
think
that
that's
really
valuable.
K
My
question
is
around
the
way
that
the
responses
are
parsed
out.
If,
if
we
receive
the,
you
know
kind
of
full
response
report
from
you
will
we
be
able
to
see
trying
to
ask
this
question
in
a
way
that
makes
sense
and
it's
kind
of
difficult
so
say
you
have
a
respondent
who
is
54
years
old
and
white?
Will
we
be
able
to
see
what
their
responses
were
versus
somebody
who
is
28
years
old
and
hispanic
and
what
their
responses
were?
Does
that
make
sense.
L
It
does
make
sense-
and
thank
you,
madam
mayor,
and
thank
you
council
pro
tem
whittings.
Let's,
we
can
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
I
think
what
I
would
it
would
encourage.
You
know
the
way
that
the
responses
come
in
is
such
that
they're
anonymized.
So
we
try
not
to
track
some
of
that,
but
I
think
what
we
can
do
is
look
for
trends,
particularly
if
there
are
kind
of
certain
questions
and
certain
trends
we
we
want
to
look
for
with
open-ended
surveys.
L
L
It
also
makes
then
showing
those
relationships
in
the
data
much
more
labor-intensive
and
much
more
work,
because
a
human
being
has
to
then
go
in
and
code,
the
different
words
and
code,
the
different
responses,
and
when
you
do
just
questions
where
you
ask
people
to
do
a
data
point,
the
software
does
all
of
that,
for
you.
So
one
thing
that
I
might
suggest
like,
like
I
mentioned
earlier,
sending
the
information
about
people's
feeling
of
safety
declining
to
the
data
team.
F
Madam
mayor
great,
thank
you
thanks
maria
great
presentation
and
very
enlightening
helpful.
A
few
quick
comments.
Yeah.
I
was
very
interested
in
that
list
of
open
comments
like
the
the
darker
vehicles.
That's
that's
interesting.
You
know
those
types
of
things
that
I
certainly
wouldn't
have
thought
of
would
come
out.
F
So
I
look
forward
to
seeing
more
of
the
comments
that
came
in
and
then
to
the
question
that
council,
member
weddings
just
had
it
kind
of
ties
into
one
of
the
things
I
was
hoping
or
hopefully
we
can
get
to
is
it's
very
you
know
concerning
to
see,
even
though
it's
a
small
percentage
that
four
to
five
percent,
maybe
it
was
less
that
feels
very
unsafe
and
knowing
who
that
population
is
and
or
demographics
or
something,
I
think,
is
pretty
vital
to
the
police
department.
F
So
that'd
be
that'd,
be
great.
If
there's
anything
you
know
we
could
get,
the
police
department
could
get
to
to
do
more
and
maybe
us
from
a
policy
perspective.
And
lastly,
I
just
had
those
were
just
comments.
The
question:
do
you
think
the
the
fact
that
50
of
folks
fill-
I
don't
know
if
it
was
it,
wasn't
less
safe
but
less
positive
about
the
police
department
or
something
along
those
lines
this
year?
Do
you
think
that
ties
into
the
the
national
things
that
have
been
happening?
F
I
certainly
I
know
we
certainly
have
had
some
of
our
own
protests,
but
do
you
think
that
ties
into
the
the
national
pulse
the
minneapolis
and
things
like
that.
L
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
council
member,
you
know
I
don't.
I
don't
want
to
speculate
too
much
we're
in
a
we're
in
really
unprecedented
times
and
in
the
previous
question,
community
members
defined
public
safety
really
really
broadly.
L
L
L
So
I
I
I
want
to
be
a
little
careful
about
extrapolating
too
much.
I
do.
Your
point
is
very
well
taken.
That
is
a
question
where
I
think
we
really
want
to
dig
in
on
that
and
see
if
there
are
relationships
between
any
of
the
demographic
information
that
we
have
about
the
folks
who
answered
that
way
and
that
feeling
of
extreme
unsafety
in
our
community.
H
D
You
madame,
I
guess
I've
got
a
question
and
maybe
a
comment.
The
question
would
be-
and
maybe
you
already
answered
this
when
you
answered
pro
tem
wooding's
question
is
like.
Could
we
tell
if
there
was
a
correlation
between
demographics
and
the
feeling
of
safety
in
the
survey
results,
or
was
that
something
that
was
able
to
be
measured
in
that
data?.
L
Oh,
thank
you
councilmember,
halliburton,
that
I
that
I
I
believe
that
we'll
be
able
to
get
I
just
wanted
to.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
can
send
a
comprehensive
list
to
our
data
team
and
send
that
to
them,
but
that
we
should
be
able
to
get.
D
Perfect,
thank
you
and
then
I
guess
my
comment
would
be
seeing
the
need
or
the
desire
from
the
community
for
enforcement,
maybe
specifically
with
speeding
and
stop
signs.
D
I
know
our
police
chief
is
well
aware
of
this
coming
from
portland,
which
I
believe
is
a
vision,
zero
community,
that
that
our
road
and
our
street
designs
play
such
a
major
role
in
that
part,
and
maybe
there's
some
advent
advantages
to
sharing
some
of
this
input
with
our
partners
in
a
county
highway
department
as
well,
so
that
we
know
when
we're
talking
about
traffic
enforcement,
that
we're
really
trying
to
build
self-enforcing
streets
to
lower
the
need
so
that,
hopefully,
the
most
common
interaction
people
have
with
police
officers
the
or
the
second
highest
one
isn't
getting
pulled
over
in
their
cars.
C
Thank
you,
maria,
to
follow
up
on
a
question
argus
on
your
response
to
the
pro
tems
question
about
how
difficult
it
is
to
suss
out
general
feelings
of
unsafeness
compared
to
maybe
specific
things
specific
instances
of
unsafeness
compared
to
I
imagine.
E
L
Thank
you,
council.
Member
of
agent,
I
mean
here's
what
I
will
say
the
office
of
community
engagement.
I
mean
we're
here
as
as
a
service
office
right.
We
you
all
the
mayor
and
the
police
department,
asked
to
see
this
kind
of
information
from
the
community
and
we
enjoy
asking
the
community
for
their
opinions
for
their
thoughts
for
their
hopes
for
their
fears.
So
I
would
say,
if
a
year
from
now
there's
a
desire
to
to
replicate
this
survey
or
put
similar
questions
out
to
the
community.
We
certainly
could
do
that.
C
A
I
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
so
maria.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
so
much
for
highlighting
the
wish
and
desire
of
of
our
residents
in
boise
to
disallow
weapons
in
our
city.
I
I
I
recognize
that
that's
out
of
our
hands,
but
I
I
do
think
it's
important
that
that
that
that
be
raised
up
as
a
concern
of
our
of
our
residents,
because
the
fact
is
we
are
the
capital
city,
we're
not
in
a
rural
area,
and
you
know
to
have
folks
for
whom
that
is
part
of
their
culture.
It's
not
really
part
of
boise's
culture.
I've
lived
here
30
years
and
you
know
it's
been
within
the
last
several
years.
I
I
I
really
appreciate
you
pointing
that
out
and
also
that,
when
it
comes
to
issues
of
safety
that
it's
not
just
about
whether
or
not
we
have
weapons
on
our
streets,
it's
also
all
the
other
different
things
that
come
into
making
a
person
feel
like
they
can
live
a
full
life,
and
I
imagine
that
would
include
having
something
as
basic
as
access
to
healthy
food
and
shelter.
I
So
I
really
appreciate
you
really
pointing
all
of
those
things
out
moving
forward.
I
hope
that
we
will
continue
to
do
this
type
of
community
engagement,
and
perhaps
we
can
refine
it
to
make
sure
that
we
are
reaching
out
to
those
communities
who
may
not
feel
as
much
comfort
in
filling
out
a
survey
but
perhaps
may
embrace
something
a
little
bit
more
intimate.
I
do
know
the
challenges
that
we
have
this
year
with
the
pandemic,
prevented
that
that's
sort
of
engagement,
but
fingers
crossed
that
the
vaccine
works
and
that
we're
able
to.
H
I
In
a
more
personal
way,
moving
forward,
perhaps
we
can
embrace
that
more
focused
group
type
interaction
so
that
we
can
get
a
more
nuanced
response
to
some
of
these
questions.
But
thank
you
so
much
for
the
survey.
L
Thank
you,
council
member,
I
would
say,
with
the
exception
of
the
seven
of
you,
the
community
engagement
team
is
the
most
the
chomping
at
the
bit
to
get
through
covid
and
get
back
to
the
ability
to
have
some
of
those
kinds
of
conversations
face
to
face.
A
E
Quick,
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
I
think
we
need
to
be
careful
not
to
conflate
this
survey
with
a
scientific
survey
which
the
city
does
do
every
couple
of
years,
and
I
think
some
of
you
have
expressed
an
interest
in
adding
some
beefed
up
public
safety
questions
into
that
more
scientific
survey.
At
least
I'm
surmising
that
that's
what
I'm
hearing
somewhat.
E
E
Look
at
reaching
out
to
some
of
the
folks
who
didn't
respond,
and
certainly
we've
we've
pointed
out
that
some
of
those
are
in
our
minorities,
people
of
color.
But
I
think
it's
also
clear
to
me
that
we
have
a
lot
of
people
living
in
this
city
who
have
a
lower
education
attainment
than
what
we
saw
on
this
survey
that
we
need
to
hear
from,
and
so
I
hope
that,
as
we
do
look
forward
to
figuring
out
how
to
how
to
reach
out
to
people
that
we
keep
that
in
mind.
E
I
I
think,
most
importantly,
that
we
now,
with
this
information,
begin
to
craft
some
potential
solutions
and
start
talking
to
people
about
some
of
those.
I
think
we'll
get
some
probably
more
detailed
responses
once
people
know
what's
on
the
table.
I
think
this
is
a
great
way
to
start
really
really
appreciate
the
work,
but
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't.
We
don't
expect
too
much
from
this,
that
we
don't
expect
scientifically
valid
results,
because
that's
not
what
this
is.
This
is
community
engagement
and
we
probably
need
both.
E
We
do
need
both,
but
this
is
a
great
start.
So,
thank
you.
