B
C
D
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
council,
members
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
be
with
you
this
afternoon
to
talk
about
just
give
you
a
quick
update
on
some
of
the
cool
things
that
are
going
on
in
the
recreation
division
of
Parks
and
Recreation
as
Med
American
council
members
are
where
we
have
six
different
divisions
within
our
department.
You
hear
mostly
from
our
park
side
from
the
most
part
and
activities
happening
there
when
we're
opening
up
new
new
parks
and
and
cutting
ribbons
on
playgrounds
and
opening
splash
pads,
and
things
like
that.
D
So
today,
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
an
update
on
some
of
the
exciting
things
that
are
happening
on
the
recreation
side
of
our
business,
which
we've
always
referred
to
as
kind
of
the
the
fun
group
that
gets
to
work
with
kids
and
play
things
and
play
sports
and
have
really
a
good
time
on
the
park
facilities
that
our
Parkside
maintains
so
to
to
kick
this
off
Madam
mayor
council
members.
D
This
is
just
a
quick
snapshot
of
some
of
the
facilities
that
we
have
in
our
inventory
that
this
programming
occurs
in.
We
have
our
Fort
Boise
Community
Center,
the
dickerly
senior
center,
both
of
our
golf
courses
at
Warm,
Springs
and
Quail
Hollow
Idaho
ice
world.
We
have
six
outdoor
pools,
four
that
will
be
open
as
Madam
mayor
council
members
are
aware
this
summer
and
four
that
have
been
open.
Actually
only
four
of
the
six
since
2020.
D
I
would
add.
Here
we
do
have
a
seventh
pool
that
the
city
of
Boise
owns
Which
is
located
inside
of
the
West
Boise
YMCA,
the
boy
it's
referred
to
as
the
Boise
City
Aquatic
Center,
the
the
YMCA
maintains
schedules
and
that
pool
for
us,
but
it
is
open
to
the
public.
So
it
is
in
our
inventory
from
a
public
access
pool
and
an
indoor
one
as
well.
We
have
10
school-based
community
centers.
D
And
so
it's
been
about
18
months
in
the
works
trying
to
get
enough
folks
hired
that
we
could
get
that
one
open
to
and
so
happy
to
say
it's
open
and
is
that
capacity
with
the
number
of
kids
we're
serving
at
Hillcrest,
and
it
was
visit
capacity
day.
One
Zoo
Boise
is
one
of
our
other
facilities,
obviously,
and
then
the
Jim
Hall
Foothills
Learning
Center,
as
well
as
the
Boise
Urban
Garden
school,
where
we
also
have
a
number
of
our
activities.
D
So
just
a
quick
just
a
snapshot
in
time
to
get
an
idea
of
of
how
well
things
are
really
going
this
2023
season.
D
So
we
started
registration
on
April
17th
and
on
that
day
we
actually
collected
415
thousand
dollars
in
Revenue.
Just
in
that
one
day
and
to
give
you
an
idea
of
our
previous
high
was
in
2022
last
year,
and
that
was
it
just
under
280
000
that
we
collected
in
that
one
day
in
total
revenue,
the
next
highest
was
in
19
pre-covered
and
that
was
I
believe
like
right
around
180
000.
D
So
you
can
see,
there's
a
trend,
that's
occurring
from
a
revenue
perspective
on
the
popularity
of
of
what
we're
offering
through
the
recreation
division
in
parks
and
recreation.
We
also
took
just
a
quick
snapshot
of
a
10-day
period
from
that
17th
to
the
27th,
and
we
did
602
000
and
again
our
previous
High
same
snapshot.
Last
year
previous
high
was
a
462
482..
D
We
also
did
7120
people
that
enrolled
during
that
10-day
snapshot
again
our
previous
height
during
the
same
snapshot
last
year,
which
was
our
high
it
we
had
5822
so
you're,
seeing
us
a
trend
occur
here
and
we're
going
to
have
a
slide.
It's
a
few
slides
down
that
I
will
address
some
of
the
reasons
why
I
believe
and
our
team
in
Parks
and
Recreation
believe
that
that
why
that
trend
is
occurring-
and
this
is
the
best
news
in
my
opinion-
is
in
that
10-day
snapshot.
D
We
have
already
distributed
126
thousand
dollars
worth
of
scholarships,
and
so
we
are.
We
are
hitting
the
number
number
of
kids
that
we
need
to
be
serving
on
that
day,
one
just
as
an
anecdotal
number.
We
did
89
000
just
on
that
April
17th,
89
000
dollars
in
scholarships,
so
we've
got,
we
do
have
a
still
have
a
great
need
out
there
and
and
why
I
I
love?
That
number
is
one
as
I
mentioned,
we're
hitting
a
need
that
we
think
we
need
to
hit.
D
But
there's
been
this
trend
in
our
city,
as
you
all
are
aware
of
where,
where
the
thought
process-
and
this
is
coming
too
from
numbers
and
data
we're
getting
from
the
Boise
school
district-
that
their
Title
One
numbers
are
going
down,
which
is
Title,
One
is
50
of
free
and
reduced
lunch
for
a
particular
School.
Those
numbers
continue
to
go
down
any
day
now
we'll
see
a
new
report
in
2023
on
what
schools
still
qualify
and
what
those
percentage
numbers
look
like.
D
You
know
in
the
city
of
Boise
and
so
they're
moving
to
other
locations
and
therefore
their
Title
One
numbers
are
reflecting
that,
but
our
scholarship
numbers
continue
to
reflect
a
different
story
that
there
still
are
folks
children
in
need
in
our
community
that
are
taking
advantage
of
the
programs
that
you
all
are
endorsing
and
offering
and
are
and
and
are
being
that
need,
is
being
met
through
our
scholarship
program,
so
I,
even
though
we
are
seeing
what's
happening
in
schools,
we're
just
not
really
reflecting
that
at
this
point
in
the
programs
that
we're
offering,
which
is
really
something
we
are
happy
to
see.
D
We
also
have
started
in
working
closely
with
the
school
district
and
looking
at
how
we
should
be
translating
our
scholarship
applications,
and
you
see
we
have
five
different
languages
now
that
we
are
utilizing.
So
we
do
have
a
very
large
Refugee
population
that
takes
advantage
of
our
programs
and
activities,
which
is
great
and
I.
Think
part
of
that
is
because
we
make
it
so
easy
for
families
to
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
the
scholarship
program.
D
This
is
our
summer
play.
Camp
program
is
really
our
Flagship
summer.
This
is
our
version
of
daycare
for
working
parents
during
the
summer
time
extremely
affordable.
It's
about
100
bucks
a
week
to
have
your
children
in
an
all-day
camp.
We
have
eight
camp
locations
that
we
offer
this
program
three
years
ago.
We
had
five,
then
it
went
to
six.
Then
it
went
to
seven
and
then
we
added
an
eighth
to
try
to
keep
up
with
the
demand.
D
This
program
is
completely
sold
out
for
the
entire
summer
and
we
have
wait
lists
at
all
campsites.
I
will
announce.
Today
we
do
have
another
Park
location.
D
We've
identified
we're
still
about
eight
to
ten
plus
employees
short
of
getting
that
open,
we're
hoping
we
could
make
that
announcement
in
the
next
few
days
to
the
next
week
so
that
we
can
get
that
open
and
then
take
our
wait
list
would
be
our
first
folks
that
would
that
would
go
to
that
camp,
and
so,
as
we've
talked
about
wait,
lists
and
Council
may
be
asking.
Why
aren't
we
offering
more
than
than
to
to
accommodate
the
wait
list
and
I
that
we'd
love
to
do
that?
D
And
it
really
comes
down
to
because
these
programs
pay
for
themselves.
So
it's
not
a
matter
of
of
finances.
It
really
comes
down
to
being
able
to
get
the
bodies
to
get
be
able
to
hire
staff
to
be
able
to
open
additional
locations.
So
we
would
have
opened
this
ninth
one
and
done
it
immediately.
Had
we
had
the
staff
to
be
able
to
do
it
so
fingers
crossed
that
we're
going
to
get
to
that
at
some
point
in
the
next
several
days.
D
So
Environmental
Education
is
one
of
our
top
priorities
in
our
department.
Most
of
this
comes
in
our
it
from
our
open
space
and
clean
water.
Excuse
me
open
space
and
foothills
division,
and
if
some
of
you
may
be
familiar
with
Boise,
Urban,
Garden,
school
or
bugs
that
is
actually
part
of
our
department,
it
is
housed
in
our
Foothills
and
open
space
division.
In
2014
we
brought
Boise
Urban
Garden
School
into
our
fold,
and
so
it's
part
of
a
city
program.
D
Now
it
is,
it
operates
out
of
cumber
Park,
which
is
at
Ustick
in
Five
Mile.
And
if
you
see
here,
we
are
doing
quite
well
in
our
Environmental
Education.
We
all
of
our
outdoor
preschool
program,
which
I
believe
we
started
that
four
years
ago,
are
all
full
for
the
summer,
as
well
as
our
day
camps,
which
is
our
first
year
offering
that
so
two
of
those
three
camps
are
currently
full.
D
We
do
some
adult
programming,
environmental,
Environmental,
Education
and
those
also
are
really
popular
I
just
list
them
there,
so
that
we
know
that
we
offer
things
for
parents
too,
but
most
of
what
we
do
in
this
is
really
for
our
preschool
through
sixth
grade
Boise,
Urban
guidance.
School,
you
see
the
programs
we
have
there
and
again
all
of
those
are
pretty
much
full
for
the
for
the
entire
summer.
D
So
we
believe
when
we
started
this,
we
really
hit
a
nerve
with
our
community
and
with
with
the
schools
that
we're
serving
as
well
in
this
program,
there
is
a
real
desire
to
start
educating
our
children
at
a
very
young
age,
how
to
take
care
of
their
environment.
Here
in
the
city
of
Boise
adaptive
Recreation,
we
do
have
a
very
robust
therapeutic
and
adapted
program.
D
This
program
has
grown
significantly
over
the
last
probably
10
years
again.
It
is
at
a
point
where
getting
qualified
staff
to
be
able
to
work
in
this
program
has
really
hindered
us
a
little
bit
on
how
much
further
we
can
grow,
because
this
is
the
only
program
of
its
kind
that
is
open
to
the
public
and
is
cost
effective
in
the
entire
Treasure
Valley
we
draw
from
the
entire
Valley,
so
we
we
see
Meridian,
we
see
Nampa
Caldwell.
D
We
get
participants
literally
from
all
over
the
Treasure
Valley
because
of
the
uniqueness
of
the
program
that
we
offer
and
you
can
see
the
participation
numbers
have
gone
up
significantly
just
year
over
year
from
22
to
21.
all
the
programs
that
we
run
continue
to
be
really
popular
wheelchair
basketball.
Our
rugby
program,
which
I
didn't
list
on
here,
is
also
really
really
super
popular
and
our
social
club.
This
is
something
that
we
do,
and
this
is
like
dinner
in
a
movie.
D
This
is
like
dinner
and
a
bike
ride
on
the
green
belt,
with
with
our
participants
very
popular-
and
this
is
an
interesting
note
out
of
270
days
last
year,
we
offered
399
programs,
so
we
were
doing
something
every
single
day,
plus
some
throughout
the
course
of
the
year.
So
again,
we'll
do
more
and
once
Staffing
starts
to
become
a
little
more
available
in
our
communities,
just
not
there
now,
and
these
conversations
obviously
are
city-wide,
but
they're
also
industry-wide,
and
there
isn't
anyone
I
talk
to
in
the
community.
D
D
I
threw
adult
softball
in
here.
Adult
softball
is
required
to
recover
all
of
the
revenue
it
is.
It
is
needed
in
order
to
run
the
program,
so
they
have
to
generate
enough
Revenue
to
get
to
get
all
the
direct
costs
to
operate
the
program
back,
which
is
basically
the
same
model
we
use
for
all
of
our
adult
programs,
whether
it's
art
or
any
other
program.
We
offer
the
golf
course
in
ice.
D
World
operate
a
little
bit
differently,
they're
required
to
also
bring
in
enough
revenue
and
enough
profit
that
they
also
can't
cover
all
of
their
major
repair
and
maintenance,
Capital
costs
as
well.
So
if
we
need
to
buy
a
new
Zamboni
at
ice
world,
the
ice
World
profits
have
to
have
the
money
to
be
able
to
pay
that
and
again
Madam
mayor
council
members
you're
where
we
operate.
D
The
golf
courses
that
same
under
that
same
model,
we
just
moved
ice
world
into
that
model
this
past
year,
so
we're
in
our
second
year
and
by
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year,
we
should
have
in
our
Reserve
account.
D
So
we
get
to
maintain
our
our
profits
at
the
end
of
the
year
to
be
able
to
pay
for
Capital
costs
and
all
those
other
indirect
costs
that
some
of
our
other
programs
do
not
have
to
pay
we'll
have
just
probably
over
a
million
dollars
in
that
account
after
just
two
years
at
ice
world.
So
the
model
you
all
are
aware
of.
We've.
D
We
really
went
to
a
model
at
ice
world
where
we're
focusing
on
our
programming
from
September
or
october-ish
through
the
end
of
April,
and
then
what
we
do
the
rest
of
the
year.
Is
we
really
just
rent
ice?
We
don't
do
a
lot
of
anything
else
during
the
course
of
the
summer
time,
and
that
has
cut
our
costs
significantly
and
then
we've
just
really
really
promoted
our
learned
Escape
program
to
get
skates
on
children
all
through
the
City,
and
you
can
see
by
the
Numbers.
It's
just
we've.
D
We've
grown
those
programs
significantly
and
it's
showing
in
our
certainly
in
our
bottom
line,
but
to
see
those
kinds
of
increases,
and
these
are
all
year
over
year.
So
we're
32
percent
learn
to
play
hockey
we're
at
75
percent
and
it
always
helps
when
there's
a
either.
D
The
idle
Steelheads
are
doing
really
well,
which
they
they
did
really
well
this
year
or
it's
a
winter
Olympic
season
or
winter
Olympic
time
and
all
of
our
programs
really
benefit
from
that
and
then
I
learned
to
skate
because
you
can't
play
hockey
until
you
learn
to
learn
to
skate,
then
you
have
to
go.
Learn
to
play
hockey
so
to
see
those
kinds
of
numbers
increasing
have
been
amazing
for
us
and
then
the
rounds
of
golf.
D
You
can
kind
of
Follow
That
trend
from
2019
pre-covered
through
where
we're
at
today,
so
we're
we've
gone
from
71
to
77
000
rounds
combined
between
both
Quail
Hollow
and
Warm
Springs.
When
we
took
over
Quail
Hollow
as
a
as
a
fun
fact,
we
were
just
over
a
million
dollars
in
Revenue
there,
so
it's
almost
doubled
since
we've
had
that
course,
since
2013.
now,
unfortunately,
our
expenses
continue
to
go
up
with
that
Revenue,
so
we're
not
generating
that
kind
of
of
of
profit
at
Quail.
D
So
this
is
a
slide
I
mentioned
earlier
and
I'm
going
to
go
right
to
the
last
bullet
point
since
I
mentioned,
why?
Why
are
we
seeing
some
good
things
happening
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
embarked
on
a
year
ago?
Is
we
revamped
just
the
online
interaction
that
you
have
the
activity
guide?
We've
created
a
better
Guide
online,
that's
more
usable,
more
accessible
and
more
user-friendly,
and
that
certainly
has
helped
our
accessibility
per
your
per
your
direction
and
poor
per
the
mayor's
vision
of
making.
D
You
know
creating
a
city
for
everyone
in
in
Boise.
You
know
our
our
goal
is
to
create
accessibility
in
everything
we
do
and,
however,
we
do
it
and
I
think
that
the
fact
that
we
have
we
have
done
everything
that
we
can
and
continue
to
do
more
to
make
programs
accessible
to
everybody.
We
you
saw
what
we're
doing
with
our
scholarship
program
and
translating
into
five
different
languages.
We
go
out
to
the
schools
and
we
talk
to
counselors.
We
talk
to
teachers,
we
talk
to
principals,
you
know
we
we're.
D
Probably
we
have
these
waiting
less
because
we're
going
above
and
beyond
what
we
have
normally
done
in
the
past,
to
really
make
our
programs
accessible
to
the
public
because
they
are
so
affordable
and
because
we
have
a
robust
scholarship
program
and
and
I
I
would
be
a
Mis
remiss
for
not
saying
that
the
quality
of
the
program,
we're
always
going
to
say,
is
best.
We
think
it's
is
it's
the
best
in
the
state
of
Idaho
it's
best
in
the
country,
and
so
because
of
that
quality
of
program.
D
People
continue
to
bring
their
children
back
to
our
play,
Camp
to
our
art
camps
to
all
of
the
other
programs
and
activities
that
we
offer,
and
you
know
a
great
example
of
that
is
when
three
of
the
eight
play
camp
sites
filled
up
within
five
minutes
of
registration,
and
so
that
tells
us
we're
doing
something.
You
know
right
on
the
quality
and
and
then
affordability.
You
know
we.
We
continue
to
be
the
best
bargain
in
Town,
based
on
that
quality
and
based
on
that
accessibility
for
our
customers.
D
This
is
just
a
quick
snapshot
of
just
some
of
the
free
things
that
happened
in
the
course
of
the
year,
so
we
have
all
our
splash
pads
and
the
Ann
Morrison
Fountain
will
all
be
turned
on
and
Memorial
day
we'll
be
cutting
a
ribbon.
D
Madame
mayor
council
members
on
that
Ann
Morrison
piece,
the
movies
Under,
the
Stars,
we're
back
now
that
we're
out
of
covet
and
got
all
that
going
on
we'll
be
doing
free
movies
at
Julie,
Davis
Park,
one
in
each
of
those
three
months:
June
July
and
August
our
fireworks
celebration
again
at
4th
of
July
at
Ann
Morrison.
D
We
do
our
free
meals,
partnership
with
the
Boise
school
district,
we're
doing
doing
that
at
four
park
locations
again,
and
so
the
district
provides
the
food
and
our
team
provides
the
distribution
of
the
food
at
those
park
locations.
We
do
our
annual
kids
shopping
event,
every
December,
where
we
take
kids
from
a
couple
of
our
community
centers
to
Target
for
a
one-day
shopping
event,
and
then
we
do
our
life
Jack
loaner
program
in
cooperation
with
St
Luke's.
D
D
C
I
will
just
flag
I'm.
Thank
you.
Doug
I
didn't
realize
you're
done,
I
was
at
Quinn's
ponds
this
weekend
and
they're
packed
and
people
were
on
the
water.
So
I
know
that
we're
encouraging
people
not
to
be
on
the
river,
but
just
timing.
Wise
people
were
out
there
a
little
earlier
than
I
expected,
so
we
might
want
to
get
those
life
jackets
out
earlier
than
expected.
Yeah.
D
Madam
mayor
council
members-
yes,
I,
think
that
I
don't
even
know
if
we
had
the
loner
stations
up
and
available,
but
we
will
get.
We
will
get
on
that.
D
We
had
some
discussions
about
it
today
about
the
the
timing
and
we're
gonna
hit
a
little
bit
of
a
coal
spell
coming
through
the
weekend,
but
it's
going
to
warm
back
up
again
and
and
with
the
river
and-
and
we
did
this
happened
again
four
years
ago
three
years
ago,
however
long
it
was
when
we
had
the
the
high
river
flows,
we
just
got
slammed
in
all
of
our
waterways,
particularly
that
complex,
so
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
And
America,
yes,
Doug
thanks
for
the
presentation,
just
a
comment:
I
was
one
of
those
parents
that
participated
in
the
camps
during
summer
as
a
working
parent
loved
it
I
was
also
one
of
those
parents
that
missed
the
deadline,
thought
of
it
too
late
and
things
felt
filled
up.
So
you
know
whatever
we
can
do
to
give
parents
more
options.
It's
a
high
quality
program,
my
children
loved
it.
A
D
Council
mayor
Willis,
thank
you
and
that's
why
we
started
that
registration
in
February.
So
if
we
can't
accommodate,
then
we've
got
enough
of
a
Runway
where,
where
parents
can
find
something
for
their
kids
still
to
do,
whether
it
be
with
Parks
and
Recreation
or
whether
it
be
in
another
program
in
the
city,
got
plenty
of
time
to
to
try
to
find
that.
But
stay
tuned.
D
Because
if
you're
on
a
waiting
list,
I'm
feeling
really
confident
that
we're
going
to
have
another
Park
that
we're
going
to
open
up
inside
inside
the
very
close
to
downtown.
E
Hey
man,
thank
you
along
the
lines
of
what
councilmember
Willett
said
about
needing
more
capacity.
He
said.
One
of
the
issues
is
a
staffing
issue,
just
bodies
to
fill
the
Staffing
roles
to
support
these
programs.
Is
it
that
the
positions
exist
but
are
vacant,
or
that
we
need
more
positions
to
do
the
work
or
both.
D
Madam,
mayor
council,
member
Beijing,
it's
it's,
we
have
a
certain
number.
We
need
to
hire
to
fulfill
all
of
our
all
of
the
programs
that
we
have
to
offer
we're
not
even
quite
there.
Yet
we
still
have
a
number
of
vacancies
right
now.
Those
are
positions
we
need
to
to
even
fill
some
of
the
play
camp
sites.
We
have
right
now
and.
C
D
They're
the
hardest
to
hire
right
now,
we're
not
having
a
lot
of
difficulty
other
than
our
janitorial
positions
and
hiring
full-time
employees.
It's
really
the
seasonal
on
our
park
side
and
then
the
temporary
employees
on
our
Recreation
side
that
we're
and
they're
mostly
college
and
high
school
students
and
we're
just
not
getting
that
volume
of
of
applicants
that
we
have
that
we
receive
pre-pre-pandemic
I.
E
D
D
The
wheat
camps
that
we
have
both
in
terms
of
our
art
program
and
in
our
record
program
as
well,
which
are
weekly
camps
all
day
for
for
kids
to
be,
and
that
we
are
are
also
at
bulging
at
the
seams,
with
waiting
lists
so
again
getting
the
Personnel
to
be
able
to
offer
more
of
those
we
want
to
do
that.
We
want
to
offer
more
and
it's
not
an
expense.
It's
actually
everything
covers
its
own
costs,
its
bodies.
We
need
understood.
Thank
you.
D
C
And
last
year,
if
I
remember
correctly,
because
these
are
seasonal
employees
and
now
suddenly,
like
I,
saw
it
with
my
own
kids.
High
school
kids
have
a
ton
of
high
paying
options
these
days,
and
so
last
year
you
put
together
a
pay
structure
to
incentivize
some
of
those
students
to
or
young
people
to
come
and
get
hired
stay
through
the
summer.
Are
you
doing
something
similar
to
that.
D
Yeah
matter
mayor
council
members,
we
are
and
we're
also
we've
worked
closely
with
our
HR
team
to
continue
to
expand
the
pay
scale,
great
good.
The
problem
we
get
into
is
then
our
full-time
employees
that
are
at
the
lower
end
of
the
pay
scale.
You
start
having
compression
where
we
have
a
part-time
person
making
as
much
as
somebody
who's
full-time
and
so
there's
some
issues
that
we
get
into.
But
they've
worked
great
with
us
in
getting
it
expanded
and
we
did.
D
We
did
our
play
camp
and
our
10
communities
or
10
school-based
community
Center.
We
got
pay
raises
for
all
of
those
expanded.
The
pay
scale
not
raises
per
se
it's
just.
We
now
have
more
flexibility.
We
can
hire
instead
of
it
14
we
can
hire
at
16
an
hour,
and
that
makes
a
big
difference
in
a
in
a
high
schooler's
life.
F
Doug
I
just
want
to
commend
you
all
like
council,
member
Willits,
my
kids
have
been
through
many
many
city
of
Boise
camps,
I
think
the
some
of
the
best
are
out
at
bugs,
which
is
just
so
much
fun.
It's
like
it's
a
fun
place.
It's
a
fun
park,
it's
a
great
place
to
pick
them
up
from,
because
then
they
can
play
on
the
splash
pad
afterwards,
it's
just
a
fabulous
facility
and
your
staff
is
amazing.
I
mean
from
the
pools
to
camps
and
art.
F
It's
always
been
a
fabulous
experience,
so
I
want
to
thank
you
and
I
see
a
member
of
the
media
in
here.
So
if
you
want
to
help
us
get
the
word
out
about
some
seasonal
positions,
we'd
really
appreciate
that
and
I'll
help
try
to
get
the
word
out
too,
with
folks
who
have
high
school
kids,
who
I
think
needs
something
to
do
in
the
summer
time.
I
think
that's
a
positive
product,
productive
way
to
give
back
to
the
community.
So.
C
Right,
it's
really
exciting
to
see
the
use
of
the
programs
that
we
offer
and,
as
you
pointed
out,
the
growth
and
scholarships
that
we're
able
to
offer
too.
So,
thanks
for
the
presentation,
looking
forward
to
seeing
lots
of
young
boysians
having
tons
of
fun
in
our
parks
with
our
great
Parks
and
Rec
staff,
great.
C
C
Welcome
we've
got
Samantha
Beck
as
well
with
us.
Welcome
now
we're
going
to
go
through.
This
is
really
exciting
work.
I've
I
saw
a
presentation
early
from
the
whole
team
that
was
part
of
this
process
from
folks
in
the
clerk's
office
to
agencies,
other
agencies
to
child
care
providers,
and
so
we're
going
to
have
an
update
on
how
we're
trying
to
make
this
easier
and
faster
to
license
in-home
child
care
facilities
and
I'm.
Glad
you're
here.
G
Thanks
mayor
mayor
council
members,
my
name
is
Kyle
Patterson
I'm,
the
director
of
innovation
and
performance
I'm
here
today,
along
with
my
colleague
Sam
Beck,
to
present
about,
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
some
work
that
we
recently
completed
in
collaboration
with
several
City
departments,
as
well
as
Central
District
Health,
to
really
transform
our
processes
around
in-home
child
care.
Licensing.
Before
I
talk
about
that,
though,
I
want
to
share
a
couple
of
quick
updates
on
some
other
projects
that
I'm
really
excited
about.
G
One
is
the
Innovation
Challenge,
which
is
a
project
that
we
piloted
back
in
the
summer
and
fall
of
the
previous
year,
in
which
we
invited
staff
to
submit
creative
ideas
that
Advance
City
goals,
and
the
idea
here
was
really
that
we
really
believe
great
ideas
can
come
from
anywhere
in
the
organization.
We
want
to
provide
a
pathway
for
those
ideas
to
be
heard
by
leadership.
I
thought
it
was
a
great
success.
We
got
a
ton
of
Engagement
from
staff.
G
There
were
673
ideas
submitted,
almost
500
staff
participated,
which
is
like
25
of
all
the
staff
in
the
city,
which
is
amazing
out
of
that
pool
of
almost
700
ideas.
Department
selected
more
than
50
ideas
that
they
wanted
to
implement.
One
of
many
great
examples
is
the
compost
cam
screenshot.
You
can
see
on
this
slide.
As
you
all
know,
the
City
offers
free
compost
to
residents
at
a
couple
of
sites,
but
often
residents
don't
know,
are
kind
of
worried
that
they'll
show
up
and
there
won't
be
any
compost
left.
G
So
they
often
email
or
call
our
curb
IT
staff
to
ask
hey:
is
there
compost?
Actually
there?
One
of
the
kerbet
staff
came
up
with
the
idea.
Well,
why?
Don't
we
put
just
a
camera
up
at
the
sites
that
way
residents
can
see
in
real
time
any
time
of
day
whether
or
not
there's
compost
there
and
they
know
before
they
go
out.
G
It's
a
much
better
resident
experience
right
because
they
don't
have
to
call
or
email
and
wait
for
a
response,
and
it
also
saves
staff
time
because
hopefully,
they'll
receive
fewer
of
those
calls
and
emails
that
they
need
to
respond
to.
So
just
a
great
idea,
I,
don't
think,
would
have
been
heard
without
this
Innovation
Challenge.
G
Another
project
I'm
really
excited
about
I've
been
working
on.
For
the
past
few
months
is
a
housing
data
portal,
which
is
intended
to
be
a
public-facing
website
to
provide
transparent
access
to
data
around
housing
and
I've
been
fortunate
to
work
with
few
dozen
community
members
who
are
really
interested
in
this
area.
G
We
did
some
focus
groups
back
in
January
to
get
some
feedback
on
what
folks
would
actually
like
to
see
on
a
public-facing
data
portal
and
also
those
folks
more
recently
have
been
really
great
at
providing
feedback
on
drafts
of
this,
as
we
continue
to
iterate
on
it.
We're
really
close
we're
almost
ready
to
publish
it
and
we're
aiming
for
early
summer
to
publish
that.
G
But
let's
talk
about
the
thing
I'm
actually
here
to
talk
about
today,
so
process,
Innovation
process
Innovation
is
really
about
taking
Frontline
staff
who
operate
and
manage
a
process
on
a
day-to-day
basis,
giving
them
some
really
simple:
training
and
Tools
around
process
Improvement
and
then
really
just
getting
out
of
the
way
and
empowering
them
to
find
process
Innovations
in
their
work.
We
really
focus
on
sort
of
small
scale,
Innovation,
so
low
cost
low
effort,
innovations
that
are
within
their
control
and
maybe
individually.
G
They
won't
have
a
big
impact,
but
if
we
get
a
lot
of
Staff
by
doing
a
lot
of
process,
Innovation
Innovation
it
can
have
a
really
tremendous
impact.
Denver
is
a
great
example
of
this.
They
were
the
first
city
to
create
a
process
Innovation
program
10
or
11
years
ago,
and
you
can
see
the
numbers
there
over
that
10
or
11
year
period.
They
have
saved
the
City
and
County
of
Denver,
more
than
60
million
dollars,
six
zero
million
dollars.
G
So
it's
an
approach
that
we
know
Works
we've
seen
it
be
effective
here
in
the
city
and
we
use
it
around
child
care.
We
focused
on
child
care
for
this
because
one
obvious
just
really
highly
important
to
our
community.
For
example,
I
couldn't
be
here
working
today
or
presenting
to
you
if
I
didn't
have
access
to
high
quality
child
care.
For
my
daughter
and
I
know
so
many
of
us
face
that
same
Challenge
and
there's
often
a
dearth
of
child
care
opportunities
out
there.
A
lot
of
long
wait
lists.
G
We
focused
on
in-home
providers,
specifically
because
we've
just
really
heard
from
the
community
that
that
process
is
specifically
pretty
challenging
for
folks
and
that's
exacerbated
by
the
fact
that
these
tend
to
be
smaller
providers.
They
may
not
be
as
experienced
navigating
City
processes
as
larger
centers
and
also
in-home
providers
are
more
likely
to
be
bilingual
or
multilingual,
and
so
there's
a
language
barrier
there
as
well
that
we
wanted
to
address,
and
so
we
felt
like
this
is
a
really
important
area
to
make
our
processes
easier
and
streamlined
and
I
do
want
to
be
clear.
G
So
we
assembled
a
dream
team
of
City
staff
from
clerk's
office
code
enforcement
planning
and
development
services
mayor's
office,
and
then
we
were
also
really
lucky
to
get
somebody
from
Central
District
Health.
The
person
who
oversees
the
inspectors,
who
do
Health
inspections
for
child
care
facilities,
and
they
were
just
this
group-
is
really
amazing.
They
were
doing
their
40-hour
week,
job
and
this.
G
On
top
of
it,
and
they
did
really
tremendous
work,
none
of
the
impacts
you're
going
to
see
were
possible
without
them
and
at
the
risk
of
sort
of
sounding
hyperbolic
like
there
really
is
something
magical
that
happens
when
you
can
get
these
folks.
Who
do
this
work
every
day?
Who
really
care
about
customer
service
who
know
the
process
forwards
and
backwards,
and
just
let
them
take
a
step
back
and
give
them
some
time
and
space
to
like
holistically,
get
the
process
together
and
what
they
can
change.
G
You
get
some
really
wonderful
outcomes
and
oh
geez,
there's
a
lot
of
Animation
here
that
I
wasn't
expecting.
G
We
really
wanted
to
Center
this
process
around
the
voice
of
the
customer
and
make
this
a
really
customer
focused
process,
and
so
to
do
that
we
invited
actual
in-home
providers
to
come.
Talk
to
the
group
about
their
experiences
around
child
care
licensing.
What
worked
well,
but
also
what
was
challenging,
what
the
pain
points
were.
G
We
also
invited
folks
from
a
couple
of
organizations,
Idaho
stars
and
Janus
that
have
clients
that
serve
folks
who
are
in-home
child
care
providers
and
have
a
lot
of
knowledge
of
the
experience
through
that
to
share
their
experience
with
us
as
well,
and
in
fact,
I
think.
Today
we
have
a
couple
of
folks
Lisa,
just
from
Idaho
stars
and
Olivia
Manley
from
Janus,
who
were
sort
of
part
of
this
process
really
gave
some
invaluable
feedback,
no
pressure,
Lisa
and
Olivia,
but
did
either
of
you
want
to
say
anything.
H
H
G
G
Yeah,
thank
you
both
okay,
so
we
did
all
that
work
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
found
is
not
surprisingly,
the
process
is
a
very
long.
One
and
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
text
on
this.
You
don't
have
to
read
it.
I'll
just
walk
you
through
briefly.
What
this
process
looks
like
so
imagine,
I'm
an
in-home
provider.
First
I
have
to
go
to
the
planning
and
development
services
department.
I
have
to
pay
a
fee,
fill
out
an
application,
provide
some
documents.
They
review
all
that,
hopefully
everything
goes
well.
G
I
get
a
thumbs
up
then,
and
only
then
I
go
to
the
clerk's
office,
where
I
pay
a
fee,
I
fill
out
an
application,
provide
some
documents
get
fingerprinted.
They
review
everything.
Hopefully
you
get
a
thumbs
up
then,
and
only
then
you
reach
out
to
Central
District
Health
to
schedule
an
inspection
pay
a
fee
fill
out
an
application
do
all
of
those
things,
and
hopefully
that
goes
well
and
then
in
a
way,
then,
do
you
reach
out
to
our
code
enforcement
division
to
schedule
a
second
inspection,
hopefully
that
all
goes
well.
G
If
you
do
all
of
those
things
and
you
finally
get
a
license,
so
94
days
is
a
long
time
to
wait
for
a
license,
and
you
add
on
that.
Anybody,
for
any
reason
can
appeal
pds's
decision
about
your
permit
and
if
they
do
that,
that
adds
an
additional
90
days.
So
now
we're
talking
about
potentially
a
six-month
process
in
which
this
person,
who
wants
to
provide
these
really
important
services
to
our
community,
can't
do
that.
G
Not
surprisingly,
there
are
also
a
lot
of
fees
involved,
as
you
could
tell
from
the
previous
slide
right.
So
the
total
cost
of
getting
a
license
is
about
700.
To
be
clear,
this
isn't
all
City
fees.
There
are
some
fees
from
Central,
District,
Health
and
other
places,
but
in
total
at
700
we
definitely
heard
from
community
members
that
the
total
cost
is
challenging
for
sure.
But
one
of
the
bigger
challenges
is
really
just
that
all
those
fees
are
scattered
around.
G
You
don't
get
visibility
at
the
front
end
of
the
process
that
it's
going
to
be
700
bucks,
you
just
know
PDS
is
charging
me
230
and
then
I
get
to
Clerk
and
they're
charging
me
another
105
and
then
I
get
on
and
on
like
that,
and
so
that
was
definitely
an
area
where
we
wanted
to
improve
so
I'm
going
to
pass
it
to
Sam
in
a
second
to
talk
about
the
specific
processed
Innovations
we
made.
But
I
just
want
to
show
you.
G
This
group
identified
some
really
fantastic
process
Innovations
if
we're
able
to
implement
all
of
them
and
we're
all
well
on
track
to
do
that.
We
think
that
by
doing
so,
we
can
reduce
the
time
to
license
by
more
than
60
days.
So
take
it
from
94
days
down
under
30
days,
which
is
fantastic.
G
We
think
we
can
reduce
fees
by
257
dollars
so
from
like
700
bucks
to
like
450
bucks
and
again
we're
not
reducing
fees
by
just
saying
we'll
charge
less
we're
reducing
fees
because
we've
streamlined
the
process,
which
means
it
takes
less
staff
time,
which
means
we
don't
have
to
charge
as
much
money
and
then
just
improving
customer
experience.
I
just
got
to
say,
like
I,
see
this
and
it
kind
of
blows
my
mind.
This
is
a
huge
difference
to
this
process.
G
If
we
can
get
all
of
this
work
done
so
now,
I'm
going
to
invite
Sam
up
Sam
is
a
fellow
with
the
city
for
two
years
as
part
of
Bloomberg
philanthropies
and
Harvard
University.
So
you
just
got
her
Master's
in
public
policy
last
year
from
Harvard
University
and
we're
lucky
to
have
her
here,
and
she
actually
was
the
one
I'm
taking
a
lot
of
credit
for
this.
G
I
Thanks
Kyle
and
thank
you
mayor
and
Council
for
your
time
today.
I'm
really
excited
to
be
here
talking
about
this
work
and
thank
you
to
Lisa
and
Olivia
too
for
being
here
and
making
the
time
out
of
your
day
at
on
kind
of
short
notice.
I
So
we
really
appreciate
it
before
we
get
started
and
before
I
jump
in
I
Advance
like
that
yeah,
okay,
before
I
jump
in
I,
just
want
to
stay
on
a
personal
note,
how
amazing
it's
been
to
have
this
project
be
sort
of
one
of
the
first
big
things:
I
work,
I
work,
I've
worked
on
in
Boise,
all
of
the
Frontline
staff
that
I
worked
with
were
amazing
and
it
was
so
cool
to
just
watch
people
day
in
and
day
out,
working
across
Department
boundaries
to
make
something
better
for
our
community
members,
and
it
made
me
feel
really
lucky
to
be
here
in
Boise
for
my
fellowship.
I
I
I
It's
not
even
like
a
maximum,
it's
kind
of
like
an
average
middle
of
the
road
estimate
for
getting
one
of
these
in-home
Child
Care
Facility
licenses,
which
is
a
really
long
time,
but
we're
pretty
confident
that,
with
these
changes
implemented,
we
can
reduce
that
to
25
days
for
all
licenses
from
one
from
a
license
for
one
child
up
to
12
children
for
an
in-home
license
and
one
of
the
huge
things
one
of
the
simple
but
impactful
things
that
we
can
do
to
make
that
happen
is
to
stack
steps.
I
So
when
our
group
got
in
a
room
together
and
mapped
out
the
process,
we
realized
that
a
lot
of
what
was
taking
time
for
these
applications
was
just
waiting.
So
applicants
were
submitting
one
thing
and
then
waiting
to
get
it
back.
For
example,
they're
planning
and
zoning
application
waiting
to
get
it
back
before
they
were
able
to
go
to
the
clerk
so
by
allowing
them
to
start
everything
at
one
time
and
submit
all
those
different
things
to
different
groups.
I
I
Another
time-saving
measure
that
we're
our
group
recommended
was
to
take
the
Central
District
Health
inspection
and
the
Boise
code
enforcement
inspection
and
collaborate
across
our
groups
to
just
make
that
one
inspection
before
the
facility
opens
once
the
facility
opens.
Those
inspections
will
remain
unchanged.
I
What
we
realized
was
that
the
two
inspections
were
mostly
duplicative
and
the
City
of
Boise
looks
at
the
results
of
the
Central
District
Health
inspection
anyway,
so
to
go
back
out
and
check
through
the
exact
same
things
that
they'd
already
checked
10
days
before
it
doesn't
make
a
lot
of
sense
from
our
resources
or
time
perspective
and
we're
able
to
maintain
those
really
high
standards
that
Boise
has
for
licensing.
Even
if
we
do
this,
so
we
think
it's
a
no-brainer
to
try
to
collapse.
I
Next,
you
heard
Kyle
talk
about
that
Planning
and
Zoning
application.
That
has
to
be
completely
done
before.
Applicants
can
come
to
clerk
to
do
their
background,
checks,
pay
their
clerks
fee
and
do
that
entire
second
application
process
and,
in
addition
to
kind
of
taking
a
long
time,
that's
just
confusing
right.
You
walk
into
City
Hall
thinking
you're
here
to
apply
for
a
child
care
license
and
clerk
tells
you,
oh
no.
I
So
that
goes
from
231
dollars
to
zero
dollars,
and
that's
where
that
257
dollar
cost
saving
comes
from,
which
is
actually
a
37
reduction
in
total
fees
for
a
child
care
license,
and
the
City
of
Boise
isn't
even
responsible
for
100
of
the
fees
that
we're
charging.
So
we're
really
doing
our
part
to
try
to
reduce
the
financial
burden
on
people
who
are
providing
a
really
important
service
in
our
community.
I
And,
finally,
applicants
are
required
to
do
a
fingerprint
background
check,
but
their
entire
families,
anyone
living
in
their
home,
their
entire
household
member,
their
entire
household
is
also
required
to
do
that.
Fingerprint
background
check,
which
is
a
really
important
safety
check
that
we
have
in
place
for
the
city
to
issue
a
license.
I
Unfortunately,
it
can
cause
a
bit
of
a
bottleneck,
because
every
single
member
of
the
household
has
to
come
to
City
Hall
in
person
between
eight
and
five
in
order
to
get
fingerprinted,
and
it
can
just
take
a
long
time
if
someone
has
a
full-time
job
that
doesn't
have
a
lot
of
flexibility.
Sometimes
it
can
be
difficult
to
get
those
family
members
into
City
Hall
and
it
can
take
a
few
weeks
and
so
the
clerk
we
as
a
group
sort
of
brainstormed
around
this
issue
and
the
clerk
has
been
so
amazing
and
they're.
I
Now,
actually,
they
started
a
few
months
ago,
they're
open
until
I
think
6
pm
on
Tuesday
nights.
So
people
can
come
in
after
work
if
they
need
to
do
that,
and
that
also
has
an
added
benefit
of
helping
child
care
providers,
not
only
child
care
providers
who
are
applying
for
a
license
for
the
first
time,
but
child
care
providers
who
are
reapplying
for
their
license
for
the
next
year,
renewing
their
license.
G
Thanks
Sam,
so
a
couple
of
upcoming
Council
decisions,
I
wanted
you
to
be
aware
of,
as
it
relates
to
this
project.
One
is,
as
Sam
mentioned,
we're
trying
to
collapse:
Central
District,
Health
and
code
enforcement
inspection
into
one
inspection.
In
order
to
do
that,
we
need
to
make
some
minor
code
changes
in
language
just
to
make
it
clear
that
Central
District
Health
can
sort
of
be
a
designee
to
do
that.
G
Inspection
for
US
legal
is
working
on
that
right
now,
along
with
DFA
they're,
doing
a
lot
of
great
work,
and
we
expect
something
to
come
to
You
In
Summer.
With
that
information.
That
would
we
would
ask
for
support
in
that
decision
and
then,
second,
to
change.
The
way
that
PDS
is
involved
in
the
process
would
require
the
modern
zoning
code
to
pass.
There's
some
pieces
in
that
are
really
important
to
streamlining
that
process.
G
F
Metamere,
thank
you
so
much
Kyle.
It
was
really
cool
meeting
with
Sam
kind
of
at
the
beginning
of
this
process
and
learning
what
she
was
interested
in
and
it's
nice
to
see
how
that
went,
that
people
were
brought
in
and
really
appreciated
the
process
and
I
think
that
it
gives
us
a
good
kind
of
a
good
ground
for
future
improvements
to
some
of
our
processes.
F
So
that's
great
I
just
had
a
couple
of
questions
and
you
already
answered
one
regarding
notification
to
neighbors
and
kind
of
that
coming
out
when
we
do
the
zoning
code
update.
So
we
got
that
one
I
had
a
question
about
fingerprinting.
So
people's
fingerprints,
don't
change
on
a
year-to-year
basis.
Do
we
keep
those
digitally?
Is
there
a
way
that
people
don't
actually
have
to
do
the
fingerprint
portion
on
a
yearly
basis
and
that's
not
something
that
necessarily
changes?
Madame.
G
Mayor
council
president,
that's
a
great
question.
We
actually
talked
a
whole
lot
about
this,
we're
trying
to
come
up
with
some
way
around
it
as
I
understand
it.
There's
some
federal
regulations
that
limit
the
amount
of
time
the
city
can
hold
somebody's
fingerprint
on
record.
So,
while
their
fingerprint
doesn't
change,
we
can't
just
keep
it
on
record
and
then
run
it
again.
In
a
year
we
also
explored
like
there
are
some
background
checks.
You
can
do
that
aren't
connected
to
a
fingerprint.
G
So
could
we
say
every
other
year
do
a
non-fingerprint
one,
so
folks
don't
have
to
come
down,
because
that
is
a
big
challenge
for
folks,
but
there
was
just
some
questions
about
the
quality
of
that.
You
know
if
somebody
used
a
different
different
name
in
a
different
state
and
that
wouldn't
show
up,
and
so
we're
still
open
to
other
ideas.
Folks
may
have
about
ways
that
we
can
make
ensure
that
you
know
we're
doing
this
safely,
but
also
making
it
easy
for
folks
gotcha.
J
Madam,
mayor
Kyle,
my
question
is
also
on
the
same
vein:
I've
been
fingerprinted
for
a
number
of
jobs
that
have
required
that
and
I've
used
a
third
party
service.
Is
there
maybe
there's
a
federal
requirement?
The
city
can't
retain
these
records,
but
it
is
it
the
state
that
requires
the
city
to
hold
this,
and
the
federal
government
says
we
can't
hold
it
that
long
like
is
there
some
type
of
work
around
that
could
be
found
so
that
we
don't
have
to
do
this
or
that
a
third
party
could
matter.
G
Mayor
council,
member,
that's
a
really
great
question:
it's
a
pretty
complicated
legal
situation
and
I
won't
pretend
to
have
all
of
the
answers,
but
my
understanding
is
that
it's
a
federal
government
required
that
we
requirement
that
we
can't
other
states
have
found
a
way
around
it.
So
Florida,
for
example,
has
sort
of
like
a
fingerprint
Clearinghouse
so
that
you
can
just
get
fingerprinted
once
and
use
it
for
any
sort
of
need
that
you
have
that
required
some
level
of
State
legislation
to
make
happen
so
that'd
be
great
to
see
here
and
I
do
also
think.
G
There's
some
other
states
where
there
are
private
companies
who
do
this
work
so
sort
of
they
fingerprint
you
certify.
You
are
who
you
are
right.
They
can
maintain
those
records
and
then,
in
the
next
year,
when
you're
coming
up
for
recertification,
the
city
could
reach
out
to
this
organization
right
and
so
you're,
maybe
paying
a
fee
to
this
organization.
G
Something
like
that
would
be
great
we're
not
aware
of
any
of
those
companies
operating
in
Idaho.
You
need
like
physical
locations
to
actually
fingerprint
folks,
so
if
either
of
those
change
either
at
the
state
level
or
private
companies
coming
to
Boise,
it
would
be
awesome
to
be
able
to
make
that
change.
But
I'm
not
aware
of
a
way
to
do
that
now.
B
Yeah
I
find
it
very
interesting
that
most
of
our
heads
have
gone
like
straight
to
fingerprinting.
B
There's
got
to
be
a
way
to
do
this,
and
so
I'm
sure
we
can
all
pepper
you
with
with
quite
a
few
ideas,
but
I
hope
that
one
of
the
takeaways
is
that
if
there
is
a
way
for
you
to
come
up
with
ideas
that
there's
probably
a
council
here,
that
would
be
very
willing
to
explore
ways
to
help
make
those
ideas
possible
so
certainly
willing
to
see
what
we
could
do
there
or
talk
with
Folks
at
the
state
to
see
how
we
could
support
something
like
that.
B
Mostly
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
and
thank
you
to
the
folks
in
the
private
sector,
and
certainly
the
nonprofit
sector
as
well,
especially
the
folks
over
at
Janus
and
kind
of
helping
overcome
some
of
those
barriers
with
an
organization.
That's
already
established
so
much
trust
in
the
community
and
bringing
those
voices
and
the
nuances
of
these
together
so
to
to
both
of
you.
Thank
you
for
being
involved
with
this
process.
B
F
But
Amir
I
just
want
to
follow
up
on
a
the
question
that
I
didn't
ask,
because
it
was
already
answered
when,
as
we're
going
into
the
zoning
code,
hearings
I
think
it's
really
important
to
kind
of
put
an
exclamation
point
on
that
that
this
is
the
type
of
in-home
business
that
we're
trying
to
make
it
easier
to
provide
to
the
community
as
part
of
the
rewrite
of
a
zoning
code
and
child
care
is
super
important.
F
C
Yeah
I
want
to
thank
you
and
the
team
too.
It
was
I'll
just
say.
First
off
it
was
I,
came
to
for
a
presentation.
I
referenced
this
at
the
beginning,
where
everybody
that
had
worked
on
this
was
together
and
it
was
really
fun
to
see
as
I
think
you
mentioned,
the
cross,
or
maybe
Sam
said
it.
I
can't
remember
the
club
with
the
cross
collaboration
of
all
the
different
offices,
all
the
different
agencies,
all
the
different
organizations
that
came
together
to
work
on
something
that
is
really
important.
C
I
mean
many
of
us
wouldn't
be
here
if
it
weren't
for
child
care,
I.
Think
back
to
I
mean
when
our
our
kids
were
little
even
before
there
was
this.
You
know
big
demand
and
growth
that
our
city
has
seen.
It
was
hard
to
find
a
spot,
and
you
know
the
spots
that
we
had.
They
started
only
in
June.
So
then
there
was
like,
if
you
didn't,
have
your
baby
time
right
right.
You
had
this
lag
time,
and
so
our
son
was
in
in-home
Child
Care
waiting
until
he
could
go
elsewhere.
C
It
was
a
great
experience.
It
was.
It
was
such
a
great
experience.
It
was
really
hard
to
find
and
I
had
a
lot
of
people
that
were
helping
me
figure
out
where
to
look
and
to
I
mean
what,
when
we
think
about
this,
this
is
I
mean
it's
60
out
of
90
days.
So
that's
you
know
over
60
reduction
in
time,
but
percentages
aside,
that's
two
months
where
kiddos
could
be
cared
for
and
people
could
be
back
to
work
and
that's
a
lot
of
time
for
families.
I
mean
that's
two
months
of
a
paycheck.
C
It's
a
lot
of
time
for
businesses
that
need
the
two
months
of
work
and,
of
course,
it's
income
for
the
folks
that
are
providing
the
care.
So
that's
that's
a
lot
of
days,
and
you
know
the
money
is,
as
you
said,
is
37
so
again
for
somebody,
that's
trying
to
start
a
fledgling
business
as
we
seek
to
make
it
easier
for
them,
both
in
citing
it
at
home.
So
maybe
they
can
stay
home
with
their
own
kids
while
they
care
for
others,
and
then
you
know
coming
up
with
the
resources
to
do
it.
