I,
it's

the
historic
preservation
commission

without
objection.
A
Well,
you
were
approved
well
thanks.
So
come
on
up
thanks
for
being
here
and
I,
really
appreciate
your
desire
to
serve
on
this
commission
and
what
I
know
the
council
would
love
to
hear
from
you.
Oh
well,
yes,
I
just
want
to
thank
the
mayor
and
the
council
for
for
putting
trust
in
in
me
in
this
position.
A
I
look
forward
to
serving
the
city
in
this
in
this
regard,
when
my
husband
and
I
moved
to
Boise
five
years
ago
from
Oklahoma,
we
knew
it
was
a
special
place,
but
really
had
no
idea
how
much
we'd
fall
in
love
with
it
here
and
look
forward
to
serving
the
city
and
helping
it
to
be
just
a
fantastic
place
that
it
that
it
is
so.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
Madame
here,
I
just
want
to
comment.
I
was
so
impressed
with
Mr
Park's
resume
I.
A
A
Well
have
a
wonderful
evening,
don't
feel
obligated
to
stay
for
the
meeting.
The
next
step
we
have
the
consent
agenda,
all
items
with
an
asterisk
are
considered
to
be
routine
by
the
council
and
will
be
enacted
by
one
motion.
There'll
be
no
separate
discussion
of
these
items
unless
a
council,
member
or
citizen
still
requests,
in
which
case
the
item
will
be
removed
from
the
general
order
of
business
and
considered
in
its
normal
sequence,
a
move
that
we
approve
the
consent
agenda
as
presented.
Second,
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second
new
discussion.
A
Yeah
Madam
mayor
I
just
wanted
to
call
out
a
couple
of
resolutions
that
I
that
stood
out
to
me,
resolutions,
45-23
and
46-23-
are
our
agreements
with
Americorps
volunteers
to
serve
our
parks.
Department.
Americorps
is
just
a
really
cool
program
that
teaches
kids
great
life
skills.
A
They
get
wonderful
work
experience
and
maybe
have
some
cool
experiences
that
they
might
not
otherwise
have
so
it's
great
to
have
them
for
for
a
little
while
in
our
parks,
specifically
here
it's
for
Boise,
Urban,
Garden
school
and
the
Jim
Hall
Foothills
Learning
Center,
which
are
two
fantastic
facilities,
so
just
wanted
to
call
attention.
A
Thank
you,
Claire
hi.
Yes,
Hallie
Burton,
yes,
Willits.
Yes,
weddings,
yes
agent.
Yes,
all
in
favor
motion
carries
and
next
I
want
to
make
sure
that,
yes,
we
move
into
ordinances.
There's
one
ordinance
on
first
reading,
Madame
mayor
I,
ask
unanimous
consent
that
all
ordinances
on
first
reading
be
read
by
number
and
title
only
and
filed
for
the
second
reading
calendar.
A
We've
got
nothing
on
second
and
third,
so
we'll
move
into
new
business.
We
have
one
item
on
the
agenda
tonight:
it's
the
public
hearing
for
the
proposed
initiative.
Petitions
we're
going
to
start
with
Jamie
heiserling,
our
Deputy
City
Clerk,
and
then
we
will
have
a
presenter
from
the
Boise
Parks
Association,
two
you're
sharing
your
time.
Okay,
great
so
we'll
have
the
two
of
you
come
up
or
you've
figured
out,
but
for
the
presentation
and
then
we
do
have
anybody.
A
We
I
see
that
you're
all
here,
two
of
you
signed
up
in
advance
to
testify
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
call
the
two
people
that
signed
up
in
advance
and
then
I
will
so
that
we're
saving
time
I'm
gonna.
Ask
that
after
you
speak,
you
put
your
name
and
address
on
this
piece
of
paper.
A
Whilst
the
next
person
is
speaking
so
we're
just
kind
of
moving
through
and
and
I'll,
probably
just
start
I,
don't
not
Point
At
You
in
a
rude
way,
but
I'll,
probably
just
like
Point
towards
people
to
have
you
come
up
so
that
everybody
has
a
chance
to
talk,
but
we
can
move
through
and
hear
you
and
and
we'll
see.
A
Also,
of
course,
if
there
are
people
online
and
I'll
check
in
occasionally
to
see
if
anybody
on
Zoom
wants
to
testify
and
then,
according
to
my
schedule,
we'll
then
close,
the
public
hearing
and
the
council
will
deliberate
on
next
steps:
sound
good
everybody,
great
all
right,
Jamie!
A
A
A
Following
the
staff
report.
As
the
mayor
indicated,
she
will
open
the
public
hearing
and
we
will
begin
with
the
Boise
Parks
Association
presenting
for
15
minutes,
followed
by
comments
from
the
general
public,
both
in
person
and
online
at
a
total
of
three
minutes.
Each.
The
mayor
will
then
close.
The
public
hearing
and
as
she
indicated,
Council
will
deliberate
and
they
will
take
an
action
one
of
two
actions
either
to
adopt
the
ordinance
as
it
is
written
or
to
not
adopt
the
ordinance.
A
The
ordinance
for
consideration
was
brought
forth
using
the
initiative
process,
which
allows
for
the
direct
legislation
by
the
people,
just
as
the
city
council
develops
and
passes
ordinances.
This
citizen
process
is
another
way
to
propose
and
pass
laws
that
stand
on
the
same
legal
footing
as
any
ordinance
passed
by
Council.
A
from
there.
The
City
attorney
provides
a
certificate,
a
review
back
to
the
petitioners
back
to
city
council,
as
well
as
the
clerk's
office,
and
that
City
attorney
review
proposes
style
and
format
changes
based
on
the
initiative
petition
that
was
submitted.
They
also
discussed
substantive
legal
concerns.
It's
important
to
note
that
what
is
provided
in
the
certificate
of
review
is
only
advisory
and
that
the
petitioners
can
either
accept
or
reject
those
recommendations
in
part
or
fully.
A
A
A
The
total
number
of
those
individuals
who
voted
in
the
November
1st
2021
election
was
34
113
qualified
voters,
so
20
of
that
number
is
six
thousand
eight
hundred
and
twenty
three
signatures
that
were
required
to
be
obtained
by
the
petitioners.
In
order
to
perfect
the
petition
and
move
this
to
the
next
step
of
the
process.
A
A
A
In
fact,
verify
the
petition's
signatures
to
see
if
the
number
of
required
signatures
was
obtained,
the
county
actually
returned
those
to
the
city
of
Boise
on
December
27th,
so
approximately
30
days
after
receipt
and
verified
that,
in
fact,
enough
signatures
had
been
gathered,
a
total
of
seven
thousand
three
hundred
and
thirty
four
verified
signatures
based
on
that
December
27th
date.
The
city
now
has
30
days
in
which
to
legally
notice
and
conduct
a
public
Hearing
in
which
to
consider
all
of
the
all
of
the
portions
of
the
actual
ordinance
itself
that
is
being
presented.
A
That
really
brings
us
to
where
we
are
here
today.
Just
a
quick
note
and
I'm
sorry.
This
is
too
small
to
see.
The
great
great
news
is
is
that
this
is
all
available
on
our
elections
website,
but
this
is
the
final
report
that
was
provided
by
the
80
County
elections
office
back
to
our
office,
which
indicates
how
many
valid
signatures
there
were
and
out
of
those
that
were
collected
that
were
not
valid,
the
basis
on
which
those
were
rejected.
Additionally,
we
have
the
certification
of
signatures
also
available
on
our
website.
A
So
now
that
we
have
reviewed
all
of
the
legal
requirements,
timelines
and
submission
process
to
perfect
the
petition,
what
I
would
like
to
do
is
review
the
very
specific
language
of
the
petition.
So
we
are
all
starting
from
the
same
standpoint
and
we
understand
what
is
being
presented
for
discussion
this
evening.
C
Parks
wildlife,
habitat
and
open
space
are
vital
to
the
quality
of
life
of
children,
adults
and
seniors
in
Boise,
as
the
City's
population
grows,
the
importance
of
parks
and
open
space
for
Boise
residents
also
grows
moving
into
the
definition
section.
There
are
four
definitions
that
are
laid
out
within
the
ordinance.
The
first
is
change
in
use.
C
C
Open
space
is
defined
as
any
and
all
lands
owned
or
maintained
by
any
Boise
City
Department
that
are
designated
dedicated
or
otherwise
restricted
to
use
is
consistent
with
open
space.
At
the
time
of
or
subsequent
to,
enactment
of
this,
article
7-7d
open
space
shall
include
any
land
that
is
used,
designated
or
acquired
as
open
space
or
land
that
is
preserved
as
undeveloped
Green
Space.
C
Foreign,
this
is
followed
by
a
section
7-7d-3
public
vote
which
states,
notwithstanding
any
rule,
regulation,
ordinance
or
law.
The
city
shall
not
sell
trade,
dispose,
transfer,
gift
or
change
in
use
of
any
park
or
open
space
in
excess
of
five
five
percent
of
its
land
area.
Unless
the
city
council
determines
it
is
in
the
public
interest
by
submitting
any
such
proposed
action
to
the
qualified
electors
of
the
city.
The
results
of
the
election
regarding
such
proposed
sale,
trade
disposal,
transfer,
gift
or
change
in
use
shall
inform
the
city
council's
public
interest,
determination.
C
The
next
section
is
exemption
for
imminent
domain,
which
states
this
article
7-7d
shall
not
apply
to
any
successful,
imminent
domain,
proceeding
in
a
court
of
competent
jurisdiction
or
any
other
final
order
from
a
court
of
competent
jurisdiction.
Provided,
however,
that
the
city
takes
action
to
oppose
such
condemnation
and
participates
in
the
defense
of
such
imminent
domain
proceedings
in
all
administrative
and
trial
court
proceedings
related
to
such
condemnation.
C
And
finally,
the
last
section
is
severability,
which
states,
if
any
section,
paragraph
clause
or
other
portion
of
this
article,
7-7d
or
the
applicant
thereof,
is
held
to
be
invalid,
unlawful
void
or
unenforceable
to
any
extent.
For
any
reason,
the
validity
of
the
remaining
portions
of
this
article
7-7d
shall
be
enforced
to
the
maximum
extent
possible
by
law
to
further
the
purposes
set
forth
in
this
article.
7-7D.
C
Foreign,
so
again,
we've
reviewed
the
process
to
date.
We
review
the
specifics
within
the
ordinance,
and
that
brings
us
really
to
the
options
that
are
being
proposed
before
Council
this
evening
and
the
implications
and
timeline
of
each
ordinance
and
each
option.
Excuse
me
not
each
ordinance
but
each
option
before
heading
into
the
public
hearing,
so
the
options
as
mentioned
before
Council
this
morning
or
this
evening,
are
to
adopt
the
ordinance
or
to
not
adopt
the
ordinance
and
each
timeline
is
provided
here
at
a
very
high
level.
E
The
first
step
of
submission
of
would
be
submission
of
arguments
by
the
public
in
preparation
for
such
voters.
Pamphlets,
an
argument
is
a
legal
term
that
refers
to
a
persuasive
writing.
In
this
case
it
would
be
a
persuasive
writing
supporting
and
a
persuasive
writing
opposing
the
passing
of
this
ordinance
not
to
exceed
500
Words.
E
If
more
than
one
argument
is
received
by
the
city
of
Boise,
it
would
be
up
to
the
city
clerk's
office
to
determine
which
one
would
be
placed
within
the
actual
voter's
pamphlet.
In
selecting
an
argument,
the
city
clerk
is
required
to
give
priority
order
to
those
arguments
that
are
submitted.
First.
Priority
is
given
to
the
proponent
of
the
initiative
followed
by
any
association
of
citizens
and
then
individual
voters.
E
E
E
E
I
think
it
is
important
to
note
here
and
we've
probably
seen
this
in
Prior
slides,
but
just
to
clarify
anytime.
There
is
a
reference
because
we
are
using
state
code,
any
reference
to
the
Secretary
of
State.
That
duty
is
deferred
to
the
city
clerk
for
city
initiatives
same
as
the
Attorney
General.
Anything
that
is
been
referred
to
as
the
Attorney
General
is
delegated
to
the
Boise
City
attorney,
so
just
wanted
to
make
that
clarification
quickly
as
we
walk
through
this.
E
So
it
is
important
to
note
that,
after
the
voters,
pamphlet
is
actually
printed,
it
has
to
be
distributed
and
mailed
to
every
household
in
the
city
of
Boise.
Additionally,
we
are
required
to
also
make
that
available
to
anyone
upon
request
per
our
per
our
prior
2019
process.
We
will
make
those
voter
pamphlets
available
in
other
languages.
E
So
that
brings
us
to
the
final
step.
So
if
the
ordinance
is
not
adopted,
the
final
step
is
a
vote
on
the
ordinance
as
it
is
placed
on
the
November
7th
ballot.
The
ordinance
must
receive
a
majority
of
votes
in
favor
to
pass
within
30
days
of
the
election.
The
votes
will
be
canvassed,
the
mayor
would
issue
a
proclamation
and
the
city
clerk
would
publish
the
ordinance
within
30
days
of
said,
Proclamation.
E
E
E
They
are
a
point
of
civic
pride
while
I
was
gathering
signatures,
people
exclaimed
the
parks
and
open
space
are
why
I
live
in
Boise
people
literally
grabbed
the
clipboard
out
of
my
hands
to
sign.
At
times.
Voting
on
this
initiative
will
Foster
even
greater
Goodwill
for
parks
and
our
local
public
lands.
E
It
will
help
spur
additional
conservation
of
green
space
and
natural
areas
in
an
ever
densifying
cityscape.
It
will
enable
Boise
to
better
face
challenges
of
climate
stress,
helping
cool
and
ameliorate
the
urban
heat
island
effect.
Research
shows
that
Urban
trees
store
carbon
dioxide,
carbon
dioxide,
keep
cities,
cool,
reduced
air
and
water
pollution
and
boost
mental
health
and
Community
well-being,
tree
field
spaces,
help
combat
depression
and
enhance
child
development.
E
Boise
parks
are
a
mecca
for
folks
from
across
the
Treasure
Valley
and
beyond.
Our
success
with
the
petition
effort
demonstrates
that
we
are
acting
in
the
best
interest
of
the
public
and
future
Generations
resounding
support
by
Boise
shows.
They
agree
that
public
parks
should
be
protected,
kept
whole
and
preserved
for
public
enjoyment
of
myriad
activities
as
places
for
children,
learning,
Sports,
Daily
dog
walks,
meeting
with
Neighbors
playing
music,
exercising
relaxing
after
work,
nature
study,
a
balloon
festival
or
Pride
event,
impromptu
picnics,
scalp,
tube
activities
and
so
much
else.
The
parks
protection
initiative
also
protects.
F
Offers
no
alternative
program
to
protect
numerous
open
space
areas.
It
is
a
serious
concern
that
the
city
is
now
proposing
to
amend
zoning
of
some
open
space
properties
to
permit
development
on
public
open
space
lands,
as
shown
in
a
draft
zoning
code
rewrite
nearly
all
of
Boise's
5
000
Acres
of
Foothills
reserves
are
located
outside
City
Limits
within
our
beautiful
foothills.
F
E
Foothills,
open
space
campaign
was
led
by
Lauren
McLean,
with
the
support
of
then
mayor
Brent,
Coles
and
hundreds
of
volunteers,
environmentalist
Recreation,
recreationalists
and
Boise.
Voters
who
approved
two
Foothills
and
open
space
Levy
bonds
agree
that
there
is
a
great
public
value
to
open
space
lands
and
they
must
be
preserved
and
protected
from
development
now
and
in
the
future.
F
Symbolizes,
so
much
of
why
we
live
here
and
the
quality
of
life
that
this
entire
Community
has
said
tonight.
We're
wanting
to
preserve
those
were
now
mayor,
McLean's
words
over
20
years
ago,
when
the
first
Levy
passed,
the
loss
of
open
space
is
an
inexcusable
environmental
choice
for
the
city
of
trees.
It
will
cause
permanent
loss
of
wildlife,
habitat
and
biodiversity.
With
current
escalating
development
pressures,
city-owned
open
space
lands
provide
ever
more
important.
E
E
Deer
Raptors
and
migratory
songbirds
they
are
important
for
biodiversity
conservation
and
rare
plant
survival.
Loss
of
open
space
would
also
trigger
poor
water
quality,
as
undeveloped
open
space
naturally
absorbs
runoff,
reducing
sediment
and
pollutants
entering
water
loss
of
natural
vegetation
areas
that
help
improve
air
quality
would
also.
E
Ample
outdoor
areas
and
green
space
are
for
children
and
adult
health
and
well-being.
The
city's
own

States

The
public
supports
this
initiative
and
we
need
to
keep
our
local
public
lands
in
public
hands.
So
I
urge
you
to
adopt
the
initiative
and
protect
these
Irreplaceable.
H
H
Good
evening,
good
evening,
Madam
mayor
and
Council
first
I'd
like
to
thank
the
office
of
the
City
attorney
in
the
office
of
the
city
clerk
for
their
diligent
help,
helping
us
Shepherd
this
through
the
process.
H
H
Parks,
promote
Public
Health
by
providing
places
to
walk
and
exercise,
increasing
physical
activity
and
reducing
stress,
stress,
preservation
of
Boise's
unique
natural
heritage,
not
only
protects
the
quality
of
life
of
all
Boise
residents,
but
it
promotes
tourism
and
it's
thus
important
to
the
economic
development
and
stability
of
Boise.
Given
the
importance
of
parks,
the
disposal,
sale
or
change
in
use
of
parks
or
open
space
should
only
be
done
with
care
and
consultation
with
the
electorate.
H
The
city's
current
deed
restriction
program
is
purportedly
intended
to
preserve
Parts,
but
it
was
announced
in
March
of
2022
only
after
becoming
informed
of
a
ballot
initiative
to
protect
parks,
deed
restrictions
and
Covenants
are
legally
and
politically
insufficient
to
protect
Parks,
because
the
city
can
and
will
terminate
them.
No
one
can
cite
legal
Authority
case
law
or
statutes
that
prevents
the
termination
of
these
deed
restrictions
and
Covenants.
The
instruments
are
titled
deed.
H
Excuse
me,
Declaration
of
deed
restriction
and
restrictive
covenants
and
again
there's
no
legal
Authority,
distinguishing
the
termination
of
deed
restrictions
from
the
termination
of
restrictive
covenants
deed
restrictions
are
restraints
upon
alienation
and
disfavored
by
courts
all
the
way
up
to
the
U.S
Supreme
Court.
They
can
be
terminated
simply
by
a
abandonment
or
change
of
circumstances.
Again,.
I
I
The
city
council
is
presently
adopting
restrictions
in
a
piecemeal
manner,
just
as
it
would
do
when
they're
terminated,
City
Council
Members
have
simultaneously
stated
that
restrictions
and
Covenants
are
superior
protection
for
the
parks,
but
flexibility
is
needed
for
the
future.
This
inconsistency
shows
the
disingenuous
nature
of
the
city's
deed
restriction
program.
It
highlights
the
necessity
of
allowing
the
public
to
have
a
say
on
what's
In
The
public's
best
interest.
I
Members
of
the
council
have
already
stated
that
they
will
not
vote
this
initiative
if
it's
approved
by
voters,
All
City
Parks
should
have
the
same
protection
so
that
all
boiseans
have
the
same
protections
of
their
Parks
deed.
Restrictions
could
be
terminated
for
parks
in
the
communities
with
less
political
power
in
April
of
21
2021.
The
city's
Consultants
prepared
a
study
of
18
parks
as
properties
potential
for
residential
development
and
they
considered
such
criteria's
political
support.
I
These
Parks
included
Liberty
Park,
the
Arboretum
Kasha
Park
Bora
Park
Pearl
Jensen
Park
Alta
Harris
Park
magurdio
Park
Wrigley
park,
Chief,
Eagle
Library.
Excuse
me:
Chief
Eagle,
Eye,
Reserve
political
support
in
26
years
of
practicing
law.
There's
one
thing:
I've
learned
find
somebody
who
knows
subject
matter
better
than
you
do:
Jim
Hall,
Boise,
Parks
and
Recreation
director
from
1992
to
2012
supports
our
initiative.
I
I
B
J
You
have
men
who
will
exclude
any
creatures
from
the
shelter
of
compassion
and
pity
you
will
have
men
who
will
like
likewise
deal
with
their
fellow
men.
That's
Francis
of
Assisi
parks
and
open
space,
go
hand
in
hand
for
the
health
and
well-being
of
the
community
and
our
environment.
This
is
why
the
parks
protection
initiative
is
needed
and
the
public
supports
it.
J
Actually,
two
questions
for
you:
Mr
King,
first
like
to
set
the
tone
I'm
with
you
on
protecting
the
parks
that
I'm
with
you
on
protecting
the
Open
Spaces
I
have
some
more
technical
questions
about
how
this
works
and
the
first
is
the
eminent
domain
provision
which
would
require
the
city
to
oppose
eminent
domain
proceedings.
So
the
question
is:
first:
does
that
mean
the
city
can
never
begin
an
imminent
domain
or
condemnation
proceeding
and
second
based
on
your
26
years
of
practicing
law?
J
J
If
you're
going
to
declare
imminent
domain
over
Parks
or
open
space,
you
would
have
to
put
it
up
to
a
vote
of
the
of
the
electorate.
If
the
state
or
the
federal
government
come
in
and
declare
imminent
domain
to
take
title
to
property,
that's
Parks
or
open
space,
you
would
be
obligated
to
defend
it.
If
you
do
defend
it,
it
would
be
exempt
from
the
statute.
J
My
second
question
had
to
do
with
this.
With
the
point
you
made
very
strongly:
I
thought
that
deed
restrictions
aren't
strong
enough
and
then
an
ordinance
like
this
is
needed
and
the
concern
I
take
it
is
that
a
different
Council
or
maybe
this
council
could
could
wish
to
undermine
the
protection
of
parks
and
could
take
action
and
therefore
cause
a
dude
restriction
to
be
abandoned
or
whatever
I
guess.
J
My
question
is:
why
is
the
ordinance
stronger
if
any
council
at
any
time
could
just
repeal
it
on
a
whim,
because
once
the
electorate
votes
for
this,
and
once
it
all
passes
in
it's
every
single
Park
in
the
city,
you
will
not
come
through
and
terminate
an
entire
ballot
initiative
like
this,
without
putting
a
lot
of
political
Capital
at
stake
one
by
one
by
one
you
most
certainly
would
take
them
out,
just
as
the
city
has
threatened
to
do
before
I
see.
So
the
point
is
not
that
it's
legally
stronger.
J
K
To
say
that
the
deed
restrictions
can't
be
removed,
we've
heard
that
statement
made
it's
not
true.
No
I
was
just
asking
about
the
strength
of
the
ordinance
I.
Think
I
I
took
your
point.
I
appreciate
that
yeah,
but
we
understand
what
you're
thinking
that
once
it's,
if
you
adopted
it
here
tonight,
do
you
have
the
authority
to
do
what
you're
going
to
do
you
do,
but
then
it's
different.
It's
all
the
parks
and
especially
after
the
voters,
vote
for
this.
K
J
I
did
get
one
sheet
from
the
clerk,
so
what
I'm
going
to
do
is
I'm
first
going
to
call
the
two
people
that
sign
up
early
I,
don't
see
Richard
Llewellyn,
oh
Richard,
there
you
are
on
Zoom
great
you're
up
Richard
and
then
we've
got
Kathy.
Coops
is
Kathy
here
in
person
or
is
it
hi
Kathy?
So
then
you'll
come
on
up
and
then
I'll
start
working
through
the
list.
Go
ahead,
Richard
great!
Thank
you!
Richard
Llewellyn,
9170,
Hill
Road.
J
Thank
you
for
having
this
hearing
and
I
really
appreciate
the
presentation
by
Deputy
city
clerk,
very
clear
and
from
the
Boise
Parks
Association,
so
I
urge
you
to
adopt
the
citizens
ornaments
as
it
is
written
tonight.
It's
a
good
policy.
J
Open
Spaces
in
the
area
of
impact
have
not
been
well
protected,
except
in
the
Foothills
and
currently
about
two-thirds
of
boy
students
live
south
of
the
river
and
likely
by
the
next
census.
I
wouldn't
be
surprised
at
five.
Six
will
reside
there,
but
the
vast
majority
of
protected
open
space
is
north
of
the
river,
and
much
of
that
is
for
positive
reasons.
M
Of
you
inspired
boycians
to
protect
open
space
across
the
city,
but
there
is
a
disparity
exists
and
some
of
that's
because
farmlands
have
been
easier
to
develop
both
politically
sometimes
physically
and
sometimes
because
we
just
have
kind
of
a
tradition
since
the
1980s
of
thinking
that
farmlands
haven't
been
as
important
to
save,
and
some
of
it
has
been
political,
and
that
is
in
part
because
it's
very
difficult
to
create
a
sense
of
political
identity
and
coalesce
around
movements
in
the
area
of
impact.
M
So
all
of
that
together
brings
us
to
how
important
it
is
to
protect
open
space
across
the
city,
especially
in
the
area
of
impact,
because
that's
the
area
that
we're
growing
into-
and
there
has
been
the
mcgregio
park
case,
which
I
was
kind
of
astonished
by
to
be
honest,
I.
Think
it
really
called
attention
to
how
important
it
is
to
make
sure
that
we
really
think
of
the
political,
long-term
viability
of
open
space
in
Boise.
M
If
we
start
to
see
open
space
as
something
just
for
the
politically
powerful
just
for
people
that
live
north
of
the
river
as
I
do,
then
it
will
become
less
likely
to
be
fully
embraced
in
the
future,
and
that
would
be
tragic.
So
please
support
this
ordinance
tonight.
M
It's
the
most
efficient
way
of
of
resolving
this.
If
you
don't
you
decide
not
to
adopt
it,
there
are
some
benefits
to
that.
I
think
the
Clarion
call
to
the
November
election
from
residents
across
Boise
would
be
healthy.
It
would
be
a
good,
perhaps
political,
remedy,
of
much
that
ails
us,
but
the
best
and
most
efficient
use
of
your
power
tonight
is
to
adopt
the
ordinance.
So
thank
you.
M
For
you,
I
just
have
a
short
statement
myself,
but
just
before
I
left
the
house
this
evening.
Somebody
emailed
me
a
letter
that
they
wanted
me
to
read.
Should
I
do
those
separately?
No,
actually
you
can't
okay
together,
yeah
and
you've
got
three
minutes,
and
so
what
I'd
suggest
is
that
if
you
don't
finish
it,
you
can
just
give
it
to
me
and
it'll
go
into
the
record.
Okay,
all
right,

and

it
helps
to
build
a
sense
of

Of
these
spaces
engendering
a
sense
of

At
a
time
when
Boise
has
seen

it

more
important
than
ever
to
support

Improving

In

of
making

one

the
best
places
to
live
in
the
United

because
of
its
parks

it
is

continue
to
support

adopt

that
will
protect
them

My
own
brief
comment
is:
if
the
city
values
the
voters
wishes,
then
you
will
also
be
in
favor
of
this
initiative.
N
As
I
was
someone
who
went
out
and
got
many
many
signatures
at
various
locations
all
over
the
city
of
Boise
and
I
can
tell
you
that
the
vast
majority
of
Boise
voters
are
overly
in
favor
of
this
initiative.
So
I
would
encourage
the
mayor
and
city
council
to
adopt
this
initiative
in
its
current
form.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
and
I'll
give
it
to
the
clerk.
N
So
it's
part
of
the
record
I
appreciate
it
so
now
I'm
going
to
start
calling
people
multiple
names
in
a
row
and
if
I
call
you
please
come
on
up
and
sit
in
the
front
row.
First,
we're
going
to
have
John,
Gannon
and
then
SD
and
then
David,
Millville,
The,
Shins
and
Amy
Russell,
please
just
head
up
on
here
and
then
I'll
have
you
cycle
through

representative.

you.

O
Direction
and
future
of
public
property
in
Boise
is
an
important
and
challenging
decision,
especially
with
the
growth
pressures
we
will
see
as
Micron
and
other
companies
add
thousands
of
jobs
to
this
community.
Open
space
and
parks
are
primary
characteristics
of
Boise
living.
They
stand
in
contrast
to
the
congestion
and
difficult
living
experiences
we
see
in
other
metropolitan
areas.
O
O
I've
lived
in
Boise
for
40
years
and
today
the
green
belt
and
foothills
are
becoming
more
and
more
congested,
I
hike
up
Table
Rock
in
the
summer
and
on
Saturdays
and
Sundays
it's
a
constant
stream
of
people
going
up
today,
Ann
Morrison
Park
is
packed
on
weekends.
Even
the
new
molinar
park
on
Maple
Grove
is
often
full
and
they
will
get
more
congested
as
we
grow.
O
I
can
honestly
say
that
if
mcgregio
had
just
modest
improvements
like
a
bike,
jogging
path,
shade
trees
and
a
few
picnic
tables,
I
would
use
it
and
there's
no
question
that
are
other
parks
and
Open
Spaces
throughout
the
city
are
fully
used
and
often
congested
on
the
weekends
I
encourage
you
to
adopt.
This
ordinance
preserve
the
best
that
makes
Boise
a
special
place
to
live,
preserve
the
best
of
Boise
for
our
kids
and
our
future
Generations.
O
Don't
allow
Boise
to
become
a
congested
difficulty,
difficult
city
to
live
in.
Thank
you.
Ben
Mary
I've
got
a
question
thanks
representative
again
for
for
coming
today,
I've
got
a
question
about
kind
of
your
thoughts
on
what
change
of
use
means
just
because
you
sort
of
brought
it
up
in
regards
to
margario
park.
If
I
had
a
bike
path
had
a
couple
things
going
through
it,
which
I
agree
would
be
wonderful.
O
B
What
your
thoughts
are
is
that
considered
a
change
of
use
would
that
take
a
vote
to
actually
change
the
way
that
we
were
using
that
area
since.
P
My
understanding
and
I
don't
have
the
exact
language
in
front
of
me,
but
my
understanding
Miss
mayor
and
city
council,
member
Halliburton.
My
understanding
is
and
I
think
the
intent
was
that,
if
it's
used
as
part
as
a
recreation
area
park
open
space
that
that's
all
kind
of
that's
in
the
same
same
kind
of
use.
Now,
if
you
were
to
take
10
of
a
park
and.
B
P
A
some
other,
some
other
or
just
sell
it
to
a
developer
or
something
that
would
be
a
very
material
change
in
use.
But
it's
not
my
understanding
and
I.
Don't
think
it
was
the
it
is
the
intent
to
to
affect
if,
if
it
was
more
of
a
Recreation
Area
mcgregio
was
more
Recreation
Area,
as
opposed
to
greened
up
160
Acres
I,
wouldn't
think
that
would
be
a
change
in
use.
That
was
that's,
certainly
not
the
intent.
I
appreciate
your
feedback
with
that.
Thank
you.
B
R
Council
to
adopt
the
parks
and
open
space
protection
initiative
as
it
is
written
in
its
current
form.
It
is
admirable
that
the
city
has
implemented
deed
restrictions
on
Park
Properties
within
the
city
of
Boise,
but
we
know
that
those
deed
restrictions
were
never
meant
to
be
permanent.
Those
deed
restrictions
have
been
easily
placed
onto
park
properties
and
can
just
as
easily
be
removed
at
any
time
in
the
future.
R
Our
initiative
will
provide
public
input
by
allowing
a
vote
of
the
people
to
give
any
future
city
council
a
clear
understanding
of
what
is
in
the
best
interest
of
the
city.
It
provides
an
overall
sense
of
security
in
knowing
that
the
decision
to
dispose
of
public
lands
will
be
guided
by
a
public
vote.
R
I
have
worked
hard
to
ensure
that
the
park
sites
and
open
space
lands
that
were
set
aside
in
the
past
will
be
protected
now
and
for
our
future.
Generations
I
know
that
my
goals
are
aligned
with
your
goals,
because
I
have
participated
as
a

And
then
we'll
have
Bonnie
krep
and
Richard
Smith
also
be
ready
good
evening
mayor
McLean
and
City
Council
Members,
my
name
is
David
meevil
de
Chen
I
live
at
406
North
Atlantic
Street
here
in
Boise
I've
been
a
proud
resident
of
Boise
since
2012,
serving
as
a
public
school
teacher
in
both
dual
language
and
gifted
education
programs
at
what
school.
I'm
sorry
currently
work
at
collister
elementary
great
as
a
passionate
Gardener
artist
friend
and
neighbor
I'm
well
regarded
by
this
community.
L
That
I
call
my
home
I
speak
this
evening
to
express
my
support
for
the
Boise
Parks
association's
ballot
initiative.
I
believe
that
amending
city
code
to
require
voter
approval
for
changes
to
Boise's
parks
and
Open
Spaces
is
absolutely
necessary
to
protect
their
integrity.
This
belief
enjoys
broad
public
support
from
Boise
residents
and
Beyond.
Allow
me
to
explain
why
I
think
and
feel
the
way
I
do
about
this
initiative.
L
I
became
involved
with
the
Boise
Parks
Association
in
the
ballot
initiative
this
past
spring
after
learning
about
decisions
being
made
by
the
city,
contrary
to
the
development
of
magrudio
Park
163
acres
of
land
set
aside
by
the
city
of
Boise.
In
1993
as
a
future,
Regional
Park,
like
most
people,
I,
was
not
aware
that
deed
restrictions
and
permanent
open
space
designations
could
be
so
easily
revoked
by
the
city.
Let
me
reiterate
that
the
same
entity
that
places
protections
on
public
lands
Canon
does
remove
those
protections
without
notification
or
consent
from
Boise
residents.
L
B
S
Socioeconomic
Spectrum,
together
by
exceeding
the
requirement
to
get
this
initiative
to
the
ballot
in
November
Boise
residents,
have
sent
a
clear
message
to
the
city
that
they
want
to
be
directly
involved
in
maintaining
the
Integrity
of
their
beloved
parks
and
Open
Spaces
current
and
Future
I
urge
you
fully
to
adopt
this
initiative
without
alteration
as
necessary
and
broadly
supported
measure
to
protect
the
future
of
our
beloved
Park
system.
They
are
an
integral
part
of
what
makes
Boise
such
a
wonderful
place
to
live,
work
and
visit.
Thank
you.
S
Thank
you
for
your
time,
Amy
and
then
Bonnie,
Richard,
Marissa,
Keith
and
then
Alexandria
danilovich,
hi
hi.
Madam
mayor
members
of
city
council,
my
name
is
Amy
Russell
and
I
live
at
5310,
South
Umatilla
Avenue
in
Boise
and
I.
Pardon
me
respectfully
request
that
you
adopt
this
initiative
as
written
I
found
some
interesting
information
from
the
national
Recreation
and
Parks
Association
about
the
impacts
of
parks
and
open
space
and
I'm
going
to
share
a
couple
of
those
with
you.
S
There's
been
several
studies
that
have
confirmed
that
separation
from
nature
is
detrimental
to
human
development,
Health
well-being,
and
that
regular
contact
with
nature
is
required
for
good
mental
health.
Scientists
in
the
Netherlands
found
that
people
who
lived
in
residential
areas
with
the
least
Green
Space
at
a
44
higher
rate
of
physician
diagnosed
anxiety
disorders
than
people
that
who
lived
in
the
greenest
residential
areas.
S
People
who
live
in
close
proximity
to
Natural
spaces
had
significantly
improved
mental
health
in
up
to
three
years
after
the
move,
so
they
had
long
term
and
the
use
of
green
spaces
associated
with
decreased
Health
complaints,
improved
blood
pressure,
cholesterol
levels,
reduced
stress,
improve
General,
Health
perceptions
and
a
greater
ability
to
face
problems,
and
that's
just
the
human
impact.
Obviously
there's
huge
environmental
impacts
too.
S
S
The
trees
plants
within
Parklands
and
Open
Spaces
remove
carbon
pollution
from
the
air
that
we
breathe,
but
the
truth
is
I
know
that
you
guys
already
understand
this
and
I
know
that
you
guys
value
our
parks
and
our
Open
Spaces,
just
as
much
as
we
do,
and
it
makes
Boise
a
wonderful
place
to
live.
So
there
have
been
some
concerns,
as
I
was
doing.
Some
Signature,
Collection
and
I'll
address
a
couple
of
those
that
you
know.
S
People
asked
you
know
concerned
that
this
would
hamstring
you
guys
and
that
we
elect
you
guys
to
make
these
kind
of
decisions
for
us,
and
I
can
appreciate
that,
but
I
think
When
people's
literal.
Based
on
the
statistics
we
heard
mental
and
physical
well-being
is
at
stake
that
it's
vitally
important
that
we
ensure
the
community
is
in
full
agreement
before
we
make
any
major
changes
to
our
parks
and
open
space,
particularly
our
open
space
cases.
S
S
And
what
was
really
apparent
to
me
talking
to
people
is,
they
are
really
passionate
about
our
parks
and
Open
Spaces.
It
is
what
makes
people
absolutely
love.
Boise,
I,
would
say,
probably
at
least
90
percent
of
the
people
that
I
talked
to
were
really
enthusiastically
in
favor
of
it.
There
was
lots
of
expletive
yeah
I'll,
sign
that,
particularly
at
Hyde
Park.
We
had
a
lot
of
enthusiastic
people,
it
was
fun.
A
lot
of
people
thanked
us
for
doing
this,
and
then
there
was
actually
quite
a
few
people.
S
B
Public
input
before
they're
made,
but
our
parks
and
Open
Spaces
are
an
absolutely
an
area
where
I
think
the
public
should
have
some.
It
should
and
want
to
have
a
direct
impact
on
how
they're
preserved
so
I
hope
that
you
guys
can
see
the
positive
intent
of
this
and
will
implement
it
as
written,
which.
U
Is
a
beautiful
city
and
we
really
want
to
work
to
to
keep
it
that
way.
So
thank
you
all
right,
Bonnie
Krupp
and
Richard
Smith,
Marissa,
Keith,
Alexandria
and
then
Brian
Earth.
Thank
you
mayor
McLean
and
I
esteem.
City,
Council,
Members,
I,
just
wanted
to
briefly
say:
I
am
in
favor
of
it.
Obviously
Park
when
that
was
suggested
for
development
rather
than
a
park,
I
think
it
galvanized
a
lot
of
people
and
I.
Just
briefly
wanted
to
say,
when
you
close,
the
Foothills
I
want
to
point
out
the
Palo
Alto
Foothills.
U
Probably
none
of
you
are
young
enough
to
remember
it.
I
voted
to
close
the
Foothills,
so
we
had
open
space.
Meanwhile,
I
lived
down
in
Palo,
Alto,
wait!
I'm!
Sorry,
are
you
talking
about
one
bath
apartment?
Are
you
talking
what
I'm
saying
is?
Basically
when
you,
you
can't
sell
off
pieces
of
parks
when
you
get
a
cloak
want
to
close
the
Foothills.
There's
no
place
to
go,
it's
it
turns
into
a
disaster,
so
the
more
Foothills
that
are
closed,
the
more
we
need
parks
around
smaller
communities.
U
U
It's
I
think
you
would
have
a
lot
of
power
to
direct
our
initiative
forward,
but
you
know
that's
up
to
is
that's
in
your
ballpark
and
we'll
see.
Thank
you
thanks.
Bonnie
Richard
Mr
Smith
welcome
thanks
good
evening,
mayor
McLean
and
members
of
the
council.
U
I,
don't
have
anything
extensive
to
add
to
the
testimony
we've
heard
so
far,
mostly
my
personal
opinion
that
the
last
few
years
life
has
in
Boise
has
become
a
lot
noisier
and
a
lot
more
crowded
and
a
lot
less
attractive
than
it
was
just
a
few
years
ago.
I
live
in
an
area,
that's
been
developed
a
long
time
ago
and
they
were
supposed
to
have
a
park
and
never
happened.
U
I
wish
there
were
a
park
near
me,
so
I
do
hope
that
we
save
open
spaces
for
future
residents,
of
which
there
seem
very
likely
to
be
very
many
of
them.
It's
the
question
of
the
process.
Well,
I
can
hardly
think
of
anything
more
representative
of
the
people's
will
than
an
initiative,
and
it
looks
like
I.
U
This
one
has
great
support.
I
collected
several
signatures,
a
couple
hundred,
maybe
and
I,
would
amplify
or
add
to
the
comments
that
it
has
strong
support
for
people
that
live
in
Boise
and
people
that
live
outside
of
Boise,
even
in
other
states.
They
envied
us
and
wish
that
we
they
had
similar
Provisions
in
their
local
laws.
U
So
I
do
hope
that
you
pass
this
resolution
and
adopted
as
an
ordinance
and
for
the
sake
of
the
present
residents
and
the
future
residents
and
as
a
general
example
of
good
governance.
So
thank
you
for
your
time.
I
live
at
670,
South,
Colfax
Street
in.
V
Boise,
pretty
close
to
the
intersection
of
84
and
Five
Mile
and
there's
not
many
parks
around
there.
Yeah
I
was
actually
curious
to
know
which
parcel
you
were
referring
to.
That
was
intended
to
be
a
park,
but
didn't
I
did
not
hear
from
my
neighbor.
She
had
thought,
she'd
lived
there
decades
and
told
me.
They
were
supposed
to
be
one
in
that
subdivision
that
had
never
happened,
and
so
I
would
say
that
it's
not
a
great
precedent,
I
suppose
I'd
say
and
in
in
the
place
where
I
live.
There's
not
many
places.
V
U
B
W
By
saying
the
city
was
looking
at
annexy,
mcgirtia,
Park
and
I
was
happy,
because
I
knew
that
for
the
that
was
the
first
step
towards
screening
it
Greening
it
up,
and
that
the
community
would
be
excited
that
this
long
promised
Park
would
be
built.
Then
she
went
on
to
say
that
they
were
annexing
it
to
build
housing
and
would
be
doing
a
land
swap
for
land
in
the
Foothills
and
seven
acres
was
all
that
would
be
left
of
magardia
Park.
It
was
portrayed
as
a
done
deal
no
discussion
and
no
public
involvement.
W
Honestly
I
didn't
even
know
how
to
react.
I
was
so
angry
and
disappointed
and
I
felt
betrayed
by
the
city
fooled
by
those
I
had
supported
utter
belief
that
the
city
would
break
trust
with
the
residents
of
west
and
southwest
Boise
and
really
the
entire
city.
In
this
way,
I
was
so
upset
that
I
remember
telling
the
director
I'm
sorry,
but
I
need
to
get
off
the
phone
with
you,
because
I
was
not
sure
that
I
could
maintain
control.
W
When
I
hung
up,
all
I
could
do
was
sit
and
cry.
My
husband
came
home
and
he
thought
somebody
had
died.
Many
residents
across
the
city
felt
that
way
when
they
found
found
out
about
Margarita
Park,
the
and
after
a
moment
of
shock
they
rallied
and
formed
groups
and
began
a
fight
to
save
that.
Park
people
were
horrified
that
the
city
of
Boise,
that
has
been
a
champion
of
parks
and
open
space,
would
even
consider
selling
off
a
future
Park
and
many
were
concerned
about
how
safe
their
own
nearby
parks
and
open
space
were.
W
This
initiative
is
a
reaction
to
the
city,
breaking
Trust
of
the
residents
of
Boise
and,
in
my
experience,
most
people
from
the
North
End
to
Southwest
Boise
from
East
End
to
Old
Hill
Road
support
the
intent
of
it
because
when
you
lose
trust
or
you
have
been
hurt
by
someone
or
something
you
take
measures
to
make
sure
that
it
does
not
happen
again.
So
I'm
just
going
to
leave
you
with
this
quote.
Boise's
many
Open
Spaces
bring
us
together,
and
the
lasting
impact
of
these
protections
will
benefit
generations
to
come.
W
No
matter
where
you
live
in
Boise,
you
should
have
access
to
nearby
parks
and
I'm
proud
of
the
work
we
do
to
ensure
just
that.
This
was
on
the
mayor's
Facebook
page
just
a
few
days
ago.
So
I
do
hope
that
city
council
will
be
proud
of
the
work
that
the
residents
have
done
to
protect
generations
to
come
and
make
sure
that
what
happened,
what
almost
happened
at
mcgregio
cannot
happen
to
another
park
or
open
space
in
the
future.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
B
Pay
your
meter
as
I'm
sure
well,
I
am
pregnant,
so
a
little
bit
of
nausea
has
happened,
but
congratulations.
You
need
some
water,
no.
D
I'm
good
right
now,
thank
you.
I
do
appreciate
it.
I
have
a
bottle
actually
all
right.
Okay,
hopefully
I
can
answer
your
question.
Council
Pro,
tem,
Holly,
Burton,
but
good
evening,
and
thank
you
for
allowing
us
the
time
to
speak.
My
name
is
Alexandria
danalovich
and
I
live
at
8566.
West,
Thunder,
Mountain,
Boise
I
come
before
you
this
evening.
As
a
representative
for
friends
of
mcgregio
Park,
so
I
am
one
of
those
groups.
D
Unfortunately,
we
saw
this
with
the
magurdio
park
property
which
not
only
has
restrictive
covenants.
It
has
the
grant
of
avocation
easements
and
it
went
through
the
process
of
being
officially
set
aside
as
another
Regional
Park,
such
as
Ann
Morrison,
another
Crown
Jewel
of
Boise
restrictive
covenants
for
mcgurtia
Park,
and
this
is
where
I
hope
to
answer
your
question.
D
There
shall
be
no
residential
development
on
the
property.
There
shall
be
no
commercial
or
industrial
uses
or
development
on
the
property
other
than
recognized
sports
and
recreation
facilities
and
programs
operated
by
or
contracted
to
be
operated
by
Boise,
Parks
and
Recreation
Department
water
rights
associated
with
the
property
shall
not
be
transferred,
but
maybe
least
on
a
year-to-year
basis
when
not
being
fully
used
on
the
property.
No
use
of
the
property
shall
be
allowed
that
would
jeopardize
those
water
rights.
D
The
property
shall
be
used
in
perpetuity
as
open
space
and
for
public
Recreation
and
sporting
activity,
except
that
it
may
be
farmed.
The
property
shall
be
burdened
with
an
avigation
easement
in
favor
of
Boise
Air,
Terminal
and
gowenfield,
a
copy
of
which
is
attached.
If
you
guys
want
it,
I
have
the
copy
breach
of
any
of
these
covenants
shall
result
in
reversion
of
management
and
operation
interest
of
the
said
property
to

The
initiative
process
arises
from
the
Idaho
Constitution
article
3
section.
One
and
accent
extends
to
the
cities
by
legislative
mandate.
It
is
not
an
inconvenience
created
by
rabble,
rousers
and
malcontents
to
Vex
established
Authority.
The
initiative
process
is
a
mandate
significant
enough
to
be
embodied
in
the
Idaho
Constitution
that
enables
voters
to
address
issues
of
concern.
Y
So
in
the
Idaho
Constitution,
we've
got
several
types
of
decisions
that
legislators
even
themselves
disavowed
or
suggested
that
they
shouldn't
have
the
authority
themselves
to
make
they're
in
issuing
City
councils
or
other
local
authorities
decisions.
They
said
we're
not
going
to
let
them
make
certain
types
of
decisions
as
well.
These
are
Bond
elections.
These
are
an
array
of
different
subjects
that
are
important
enough
to
Idaho
legislators
that
voters
be
directly
involved.
Y
B
Z
Z
There's
a
nitpicking
want,
which
is
diligence
also
known
as
diligence
right
and
I'll
remind
you
that
as
members
of
city
council,
you
have
pretty
extensive
discretion
and
interpreting
ordinances
of
the
city
of
Boise,
so
where
there
might
be
a
good
argument
to
say
that
a
certain
bit
of
language
might
be
abused
or
counter
the
intent.
Z
You
actually
are
operating
in
a
wide
scope
of
to
ensure
that
that
doesn't
happen
and
that
the
measure
does
what
it
says
and
does
what
it's
intended
to
do
with
that
I'll.
Thank
you
and
encourage
support.
Yeah
I
have
a
question
for
Brian
yeah.
Z
Thank
you
for
Testimony.
You
know
one
of
the
things
that's
been
talked
about
over
and
over
again
is
equity
and
I'm.
I'm,
also
really
passionate
about
making
sure
all
areas
of
the
city
have
the
same
amenities.
One
of
the
things
that
we've
been
talking
about,
West
Boise,
is
getting
a
library
because
we're
in
this
donut
hole,
I'm
I'm,
getting
to
you
the
question
here.
One
of
the
things
that
came
up
in
a
meeting
last
week
was
hey.
Z
Z
The
ordinance,
depending
on
the
specific
situation,
would
require
that
as
a
procedure,
you
would
have
to
put
that
to
a
vote
if
it's
over
10
percent
of
the
parcel
at
issue
or
five
percent
also
I'm.
Sorry,
five
percent
of
the
parcel
okay.
Thank
you
sure
thank
you.
Tom
I
keep
saying
Cooper,
but
it's
coops
I'm.
Sorry.
AA
Both
Madam
mayor
and
and
councilman,
the
two
two
observations
I
also
tried
to
gather
script
signatures,
I,
didn't
smile
as
pretty
as
some
of
these
people
did
and
and
I
didn't
get
quite
as
many
but
I
I
tried
and
while
Gathering
those
signatures.
I
was
surprised
how
enthusiastic
so
many
of
the
voters
were
to
sign
and
show
support
for
preserving
parks
and
open
space.
AA
My
second
point
is
right:
represent
a
working
laborer
kind
of
person
who
saved
for
the
first
23
years,
I
lived
here
and
then
moved
to
a
lot
adjacent
to
a
future.
Park,
therefore,
guaranteeing
me
what
I
love
it's
just
having
been
raised
on
Ranch
I
like
to
be
able
to
see
something
other
than
a
trash
can
out
my
window
from
the
neighbor,
so
I
had
a
park
and
I'm
living
adjacent
to
a
future
Park
except
that
that's
been
jeopardized.
AA
AA
Hasn't
been
true
for
some
people
in
town,
this
initiative
will
help
solidify
the
plans
that
are
in
place
to
benefit
future
growth,
keeping
Boise
the
attractive
place
to
live
that
it
is
I,
encourage
you
to
adopt
it
in
full.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
Dave
Kangas,
and
then
is
anybody
else
wanting
to
testify
all
right,
I'm
going
to
ask
you
to
come
to
cover
row
over
here.
AA
B
To
Boise
residents
or
to
you,
the
Foothills
levees,
the
Foothills
themselves
are
just
what
make
Boise
what
it
is,
and
your
efforts
to
preserve
parks
within
the
city
limits
is
also
acknowledged.
You
know
how
important
parks
are.
What
is
missing
from
this
conversation
tonight
is
the
area.
AB
It
is
a
little
difficult
to
get
from
there
to
the
Foothills,
and
if
we
want
to
cut
back
on
traffic,
we
need
to
have
Parks
out
there
for
them
for
future
generations
for
future
kids.
So
they
have
that
same
opportunity
and
the
same
love
for
Boise
the
people
in
the
North
End.
Have
we
have
seen
what
can
happen?
Yes,
you
stopped
mcgregio
Park
from
being
developed.
Yes,
you've
helped
with
the
open
space
next
to
Indian,
Creek
golf
course,
but
look
what
happened
in
Eagle
when
they
elected
a
mayor.
AB
He
immediately
sold
the
park
without
a
public
hearing
those
kind
of
things.
That
is
what
stirred
this
effort
and
Gathering
11
000
signatures
is
not
easy.
It
doesn't
happen
with
a
snap
of
a
finger.
It
takes
a
lot
of
organization,
a
lot
of
volunteer
work
and
a
lot
of
people
spending
their
weekends
Gathering
signatures.
AB
Please
pass
this
as
it
is
written,
so
future
Generations
can
have
the
same
opportunity
that
we
have
John
Gannon
brought
up
a
great
point,
and
it
would
be
great
if
we
could
somehow
use
the
Clean
Water
Levy
to
make
mcgregio
Park
a
wildlands
park.
I,
don't
know
how
that
would
work,
but
that
would
be
a
great
opportunity.
B
Q
Q
Build
more
housing,
more
densely,
the
need
for
recreational
lands
grows
exponentially.
In
addition,
the
rising
costs
of
land
makes
acquisition
a
future
Parklands
significantly
more
challenging.
Therefore,
we
should
hold
on
to
what
we
have
to
achieve.
The
city's
Benchmark
of
everyone
having
a
park
within
a
10-minute
walk,
sacrificing
Park,
open
space
to
solve
a
nationwide
and
multi-pronged
housing.
Affordability
crisis
is,
in
my
estimation,
both
short-sighted
and
wrong-headed.
The
council
has
a
solution
to
our
housing
affordability
crisis.
Q
Complex
built,
provide
mixed
income
housing
across
every
census,
tract
in
the
city
and
solve
for
affordability,
without
sacrificing
that
which
make
marks
Boise's
unprecedented
quality
of
life,
our
precious
recreational
lands.
It
is
a
false
dilemma:
fallacy
to
say
that
we
must
choose
between
green
space
and
more
housing.
Once
we
lose
Green
Space,
we
will
never
get
it
back.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
and
sir
I'm.
Sorry
I
recognize
you
but
I.
Don't
remember
your
name
come
on
up.
Q
Evening,
Eric
Shulman
from
the
north
ends
speaking
on
behalf
of
my
neighbors
with
two
legs
and
four
legs
hey.
This
is
a
really
good
thing.
You
know
basically,
you've
just
had
a
whole
bunch
of
Consultants
go
out
and
talk
to
people
about
what
they
thought
about
your
process
and
how
you
manage
parks,
and
we
came
back
with
a
lot
of
opinions.
Some
of
what
you've
heard
here,
but
mostly
the
thing
that
happened
to
me.
The
most
is
when
I
said
to
people
do.
B
B
If
they
can
do
that,
the
thing
is
is
that
there
is
a
perception,
to
a
great
extent
that
the
process
can
be
manipulated
in
order
for
us
to
lose
open
space
or
parks.
And
this
brings
more
transparency
to
it
and
as
well.
A
tool
for
City
staff
when
those
opportunities
are
weighed
between
development
or
other
use
of
space,
or
particularly
whether
open
space
should
maintain
open
space
or.
V
B
V
AC
B
AD
It
looks
like
I'm
going
to
continue
the
unanimous
testimony
and
favor
of
this
ordinance.
My
name
is
Greg.
Ferch
I
would
like
to
point
out
that,
while
I
also
find
it
would.
B
Action
tonight
would
be
to
save
the
taxpayers,
the
printing,
the
mailing
business
distribution
costs
and
everything
that
precedes
the
vote.
I
would
further
say
that
I
spent
the.
F
B
AD
20
years
living
out
in
the
area
of
molinar,
Park
and
I
agree
with
representative
Gannon
as
to
how
popular
or
how
quickly
and
popular
that
molinar
Park
became.
We
were
so
starved.
V
Became
overpopulated
the
dog
park
is
highly
used
and
I
would
like
to
point
out
that
I
spent
three
years
of
my
20
years,
roughly
out
there
as
president
of
the
Charleston
homeowners,
association
and
I,
was
there
during
the
time
period,
where
some
of
our
residents
might
have
thought
considered
it
to
be
the
Hostile
takeover
of
by
the
city
of
our
once
unincorporated
subdivision,
and
during
that
time
frame
and
the
negotiations
and
the
presentations
by
City
members.
V
The
molinar
park
was
one
of
the
carrots
that
we
were
given
in
order
to
be
yeah,
I
guess
I,
don't
want
to
necessarily
use
the
word
appeased
by
our
annexation
into
the
city
at
that
time,
but
that
was
one
of
the
one
of
the
things
that
was
brought
up
in
those
discussions
and
I
see
this
ordinance
as
a
means
to
put
a
little
punch
behind
the
concept
of
promises
made.
V
Promises,
Kept
and
I
think
that
you
know
we
should
go
ahead
and
pass
this
and
make
sure
that
those
residents,
especially
in
South
Boise,
that
are
you,
know,
craving
Recreation
areas.
It
was
previously
mentioned
how
difficult
it
is
to
get
to
the
North
End
and
for
some
of
us
it's
a
30,
45
minute
project
just
to
get
to
the
Whitewater
Park,
the
Foothills
Etc
and
preserving
in
this
case.
Specifically,
the
mcgurdio
park
would
be
very
advantageous
and
it
kind
of
gives
a
bull
work
to
promises.
F
F
What,
oh,
were
you
planning
on
testifying,
I'm,
sorry,
I
didn't
see
you
move
up
there,
we're
going
to
take
one
more
in
person
and
then
I
am
going
to
ask
that,
like
you,
let
the
set
the
person
in
the
queue
online
know
so
that
we're
not
doing
this
in
between
everybody
thanks
good
evening,
mayor
McLean,
City,
Council
Members.
Thank
you
very
much
for
opening
the
testimony
here
for
allowing
us
time
to
speak.
F
You
know,
I
am
a
member
of
Southwest
Boise,
I'm,
Kathy,
Corliss
I'm
at
8528,
West,
Vincent
and
I.
Don't
want
to
necessarily
add
on
to
the
to
what
you've
heard
tonight,
but
I
do
want
to
share
with
you
a
day
in
the
life
of
me.
My
family,
my
family
and
I
are
very
active.
We
love
the
Foothills.
F
We
love
the
parks
and
appreciate
the
hard
work
you've
all
done
to
preserve
the
parks
that
we
have
today
on
an
average
Saturday
in
the
summer
we
take
our
bikes
and
we
have
to
load
them
onto
our
truck.
My
husband
with
his
back
now
has
an
electric
bike
and
let
me
tell
you
that
thing's
heavy
and
we
have
to
drive
across
town
to
find
a
place
where
we.
AC
It
the
green
belts
or
Whitewater
Park
and
that's
a
half
hour
of
travel
time
because
we're
you
know
we're
busy.
We've
grown
as
a
city,
there's
a
lot
more
people
here,
it's
a
half
hour
to
get
there.
It's
15
minutes
to
unload
those
bikes
right
and
then
we
start
on
our
fun
adventure
of
a
half
hour
to
an
hour
ride
to
come
back
to
then
load
up
those
bikes
again
and
then
to
drive
across
town
back
to
where
we
reside
in
Southwest
Boise.
AC
It
would
be
fantastic
if
we
could
all
come
together
and
start
working
on
some
Pathways
and
some
projects
and
mcgregio
park
is
an
excellent
area
for
those
to
be
at.
We
are
at.
There
is
a
grave
inequity
of
parks
out
there
and
Open
Spaces,
but
it's
not
just
open
space
but
open
space.
That's
useful
that
we
can
walk
and
that
we
can
bike
that
we
can
take
our
lovely
furry
friends
and
go
for
a
nice
hike
without
having
to
spend
two
hours
to
get
across
town.
So
we
need
this
I.
AC
You
know
I
urge
councils
to
think
about
not
just
the
legal
ramifications
of
what
they
can
and
what
we
should.
But
what
is
the
right
thing
to
do
for
us
for
now
and
for
our
kids
in
the
future.
We
need
the
open
space,
we
need
parks
and-
and
we
need
to
have
that-
you
know
like
I,
said
for
those
future
generations
and
ease
the
burden
of
people
having
to
cross
clear
across
town
to
access,
Pathways
and
safe
areas
where
they
can
walk
and
bike
and
I.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration.
AC
AC
We
can't
hear
you
I
think
either
you're,
muted
or
you've
just
got
the
wrong
audio.
Sorry
about
that
now.
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
I
will
say
that
your
suit,
when
you
move,
you
start
to
look
like
I,
don't
know
like
a
hologram
or
something
so
I'm
gonna
propose
that
you
stay
still.
While
you
speak
to
us,
if
at
all
possible,
so
he
can
see
you,
okay,
I'm,
real
okay,
my
name
is
Gary
Richardson
I
live
at
746
Santa
Paula
court
and
I'll
doppy
Heights,
immediately
adjacent
to
the
Boise
Fort.
T
Boise
military
Reserve,
Boise's,
oldest
and
largest
open
space
Reserve.
When
we
moved
here
in
1986,
the
reserve
comprised
460
Acres,
it's
now
734
Acres
as
a
result
of
the
work
of
a
coalition
of
many
citizens
yeah.
Yes,
your
audio,
isn't
on
Diane
his
audio's
on
I
promise.
We
can
hear
it
okay,
we
can't
hear
it
on
the
scans.
T
All
right,
never
mind
all
right
anyway,
go
ahead,
Gary,
we're
ready
that
expanded
to
734
Acres
from
the
work
of
a
coalition
of
many
citizens
that
enlightened
City
officials
in
1986,
spurred
by
former
Parks
commissioner
Alice
Dieter,
a
group
of
neighborhood
of
neighbors
formed
the
friends
of
military
Reserve
to
ensure
the
permanent
protection
of
this
Reserve.
T
Many
of
us
were
instrumental
in
forming
the
Boise
front
coalition
of
citizens
and
officials
from
many
agencies
to
work
with
Foothills
Property
Owners
to
protect
and
expand
a
system
of
trails
and
open
space
that
eventually
became
the
ridge
to
Rivers
system.
We
also
worked
with
the
Boise
water
company
development
arm,
many
citizens,
volunteers
and
City
officials
to
protect
Hall's
Gulch
from
development
by
creating
Boise's
second
open
space
Reserve.
T
We
helped
create
and
pass
the
10
million
dollar
Foothills
Levy
that
you
mayor,
McLean,
LED
with
results
which
resulted
in
the
rivers
Ridge
to
Rivers
system
acquiring
some
40
million
dollars
worth
of
open
space
and
Trail
easements
across
the
Boise
front.
I
cite
these
accomplishments
to
acknowledge
many
decades
of
citizens
and
enlightened
government
efforts
to
permanently
protect
Boise's
parks
and
Open.
T
Spaces
I
urge
you
to
enact
the
citizens
initiative
before
you
tonight,
which
will
ensure
that
all
boyceans
have
a
say
in
the
permanent
protection
of
our
parks
and
open
spaces
and
I
would
urge
you
to
listen
to
what
people
from
the
southwest
area
are
saying.
We
need
a
necklace
of
open
space
parks
around
the
city
all
around
the
city,
not
just
in
the
foothills.
So
thank
you
for
listening
thanks,
Gary
there's.
Nobody
else
online.
T
T
We
can
still
hear
you
Gary
nope,
okay,
people
have
been
know
to
raise
their
hand,
the
clerk's,
making
sure
that
nobody,
that's
watching
online,
wants
to
testify
anybody
else
in
the
room
want
to
testify
all
right,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
close
the
public
hearing.
T
T
B
B
B
B
B
What
have
you
and
Mary
had
a
clarifying
question?
Doesn't
the
neighborhood
association
or
the
parks
Association
get
to
do
some
sort
of
recap
on
something
like
this,
because
I
know
models
in
the
past
the
it's
not
like
a
development
application?
Okay?
So
it's
different!
It's
a
it's
a
different
kind
of
public
hearing
like
when
we
have
an
ordinance
say
on
like
what
we've
had
ordinances
on
like
airbnbs
and
stuff,
where
we
hear
from
public
and
then
it's
before
you
all.
B
B
B
If
that's,
what
the
motion
is
correct,
yeah
I
mean
I,
take
the
cue
from
whatever
the
attorney
says
is
where
I'll
take
my
cue,
yeah
yeah.
No,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
understand
your
intent.
You're
not
sending
this
to
the
ballot
foreign
you're,
proposing
it
be
approved
by
Council,
correct,
so
I
would
propose
that
you
send
it.
What
do
we
do
in
this,
and
so
we
can
make
a
motion
your
honor,
to
dispense
with
the
reading
rules.
B
Have
it
read
in
full
by
title
and
have
that
the
normal
motion
that
we
would
do
to
dispense
with
the
reading
rules,
it's
red
and
affordable
tonight
and
Ambassador,
okay
and
then
so
the
motion
the
motion
would
be
to
dispense
well
here.
Why
don't
you
say
it
and
you
can
say
so,
moved.
B
If
the
secondary
is
all
right
with
us,
you
probably
will
be
probably
Madam
mayor.
It
would
be
moving
to
that
further
reading
of
ordinance
summer
4-23
be
dispensed
with,
and
the
record
reflect
that
it
has
been
read
in
football
for
the
third
time
following
a
single
reading
of
the
ordinance,
so
I
moved.
Second,
all
right
is
there
a
discussion,
yeah
Madam,
mayor
I
guess
is
the
maker
of
the
motion.
B
First
of
all,
I'd
like
to
thank
everybody
who
came
out
tonight.
You
know
it's
this
sort
of
Citizen
interaction
that
makes
our
democracy
work
and
that's.
Why
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we
listen
to
Citizen
interaction.
First
and
foremost,
we
also
got
I
personally
got
a
lot
of
letters
on
this
and
there
was
lots
of
similar
themes,
many
of
them
that
were
mentioned
here
tonight,
but
a
couple
of
things
that
I
think
are
really
important.
B
B
B
Think
this
this
ordinance
will
do
so,
and
the
other
thing
that
I
would
say
to
my
motion
is
that
we
know
the
government
is
a
process
that
we're
going
to
learn
from
this
and
I
think
it's
important
that
we
give
citizens
a
voice
on
something
that
is
really
important
to
the
reason
that
we
live
here
and
that's
the
Foothills
which
are
the
canvas
of
our
city,
but
also
all
the
other
areas
of
the
city
that
deserve
to
be
beautified
as
well.
B
I
seconded
the
motion
for
many
of
those
same
reasons.
You
know
we're
here
on
it
citizens
initiative.
Where
really
everybody
agrees
with
the
point,
which
is
don't
be
disposing
of
parks,
don't
be
disposing
of
open
places,
open
spaces
and
don't
be
disregarding
the
genuine
concern
and
will
and
values
of
the
people
who
live
in
this
city?
B
It
was
particularly
when
you
do
so,
and
so
I
seconded
the
motion,
because
I
very
strongly
believe
that
I
will
say,
like
in
transparency
and
Clarity
I,
do
think
it
needs
to
be
amended
and
tweaked
a
little
I.
Don't
read
the
imminent
domain
provision
quite
the
same
way.
You
do
I
agree
with
the
intent
that
you
articulated
there's
a
few
other
little
places
where
I
think
we
might
need
to
adjust
it
to
make
things
administratively
simpler
on
the
city,
but
the
point
of
the
ordinance.
B
We
don't
want
the
city,
you
know
the
parks
are
supposed
to
be
the
parks
so
they're
supposed
to
stay.
The
parks
is
something
that
we
all
we
all
agree
with
here,
so
how
we
may
decide
in
the
future
to
adjust
this
ordinance
I
think
remains
to
be
seen
from
my
perspective,
but
not
with
the
intent
of
thwarting
the
purpose
of
it,
which
is
to
keep
our
Open
Spaces
open
and
to
keep
our
Parks
parks.
B
First
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone
who
wrote
us
emails.
I
did
not
respond
to
all
of
them
and
I
apologize.
There
were
a
lot
and
everyone
who
came
out
tonight
and
really
kept
this
conversation
respectful.
B
It
helps
that
everyone
agrees.
I
mean
everyone
in
this
room
agrees
that
we
need
to
protect
our
Parks
we've
taken
steps
as
a
city
to
do
that.
This
takes
it
one
step
farther
and
I
really
appreciated.
B
I
think
it
was
something
that
Marissa
said
about
the
trust
of
residents
and
that
trust
extending
to
if
we
have
a
project
on
as
on
a
designated
open
space
like
a
library,
you
know
like
affordable
housing
that
might
be
co-located
with
a
park,
we're
taking
that
to
the
voters
and
seeing
if
that's
something
that
everyone
agrees
with
that's
a
good
idea
and
that
reflects
our
community's
values.
B
So
I
appreciate
that
that
option
has
been
put
out
on
the
table
tonight,
as
you
know,
an
acceptable
path
forward,
so
that
we
can
accomplish
all
of
our
City's
priorities
and
also
preserve
all
of
the
Open
Spaces
that
we
love
so
dearly.
The
other
thing
that
came
up
a
couple
of
times
were
Pathways
and
pathway
connections.
B
We
have
an
incredible
Pathways
plan
and
this
all
dovetails
together
with
Pathways
connecting
open
spaces
and
hopefully
creating
bike
paths
all
around
the
city,
so
that
people
don't
have
to
drive
their
bikes
to
the
green
belt
and
put
up
their
back
lifting
their
e-bike
into
the
back
of
their
truck,
because
I've
done
that
before
we
don't
want
that.
B
We
want
everyone
to
have
really
great
access,
and
so
thank
you
to
everyone
who
went
out
and
gathered
signatures
who
talked
to
Residents
I
know
what
that
feels
like
I've
done
that
before
it's
a
lot
of
work,
it's
sometimes
daunting.
It's
you
know,
take
some
guts
to
get
out
there
and
talk
about
what
you
care
about,
but
I.
Just
really
appreciate
everyone
and
I'll
be
supporting
the
motion.
B
Thank
you,
I'll.
Let
Jimmy
have
the
last
word
tonight.
Great
you
know.
I
I
will
also
be
supporting
the
motion
and
I.
Think
my
time
in
public
service
has
been
a
reflection
of
my
commitment
to
open
space
and
Parks
and
Recreation
for
this
city
before
I
was
elected.
I
worked
on
the
whole
sculpture
initiative.
Most
recently,
I've
been
the
champion
for
molinar
Park
to
make
sure
that
it
got
done
more
quickly
than
it
might
have
had
somebody
on
Council
not
taking
it
on
as
as
a
project.
B
I
will
say
one
other
thing,
though,
about
promise
is
made
and
Promises
Kept
been
on
this
Council
for
a
long
time,
and
one
of
the
promises
that
the
city
made
in
addition
to
building
parks
in
the
southeast
Southwest
was
to
bring
infrastructure,
and
they
did
that
at
Great
expense
city
has
spent
a
lot
of
money
on
infrastructure,
especially
sewer,
and
in
return
for
that
there
was
a
promise
that
annexation
would
be
on
the
table
and
it
turned
out
not
to
be
so.
Here's
all
I
have
to
say
about
that
going
forward.
B
I
hope
all
of
us,
myself,
included,
recognize
and
embrace
the
fact
that
government
is
a
two-way
street.
You
can't
just
ask
you
have
to
give
you
guys
have
given
a
lot
to
get
this
initiative
on
the
ballot
to
get
it
here.
I
know
how
much
you're
capable
of
giving,
because
you've
shown
us
you're,
you're
capable
of
giving
a
lot.
B
If
we're
going
to
get
to
that,
it's
going
to
take
a
partnership
with
people
who
live
out
there
in
support
of
them
in
the
same
way
that
people
in
other
parts
of
the
city
supported
paying
for
the
open
space
that
exists
to
the
north
of
the
city.
I
think,
if
it
were
to
happen,
it
would
cement
Boise's
place
in
this
world
of
of
Western
cities
and
what
makes
them
special
as
the
one
that
is
really
special.
B
So
what
I
see
tonight
is
a
an
initiative,
that's
somewhat
flawed
in
its
minutia
and
some
of
the
definitions
and
probably
will
need
to
be
adjusted
to
make
sure
that
it
works
appropriately
and
can
be
administered
appropriately.
But
I,
see
the
heart
of
the
initiative
is
that
we
all
love
this
place.
We
all
love
the
space.
B
We
all
love
what
it
gives
us,
especially
the
recreational
opportunities,
and
can
we
use
this
and
the
energy
and
the
momentum
that
you
all
have
created
to
take
that
the
next
step
and
not
just
have
open
space
and
and
parks
in
one
part
of
the
city.
But
let's
have
it
ring
the
entire
city.
That
means
it
has
to
be
an
entire
city
to
do
that.
So
I
hope
I
won't
be
here
in
this
scene
to
make
that
happen,
but
I
hope
to
see
it
happen.
B
I
hope
to
work
on
helping
make
that
happen,
because
I
Envision,
something
that
is
even
more
special
than
what
we
have
today
and
all
of
you
have
spoken
eloquently
about
how
special
it
is.
Thank
you,
amen,
Mary
I
can
be.
I
can
be
pretty
brief
here.
I'm
definitely
going
to
be
supporting
the
motion
and
I
agree
with
everything.
That's
been
said
by
every
council
member.
B
B
I
really
appreciate
a
couple
of
the
folks
who
brought
forward
some
specific
intentions
on
how
we're
using
some
of
the
wording,
because
I
do
think
that
that's
important
and
I
think
that
most
of
us
here
can
agree
on
what
the
intentions
are.
You
know
for
this
ordinance
and
I
think
that
Council
can
agree
that
we
want
to
honor
those
intentions
as
well.
B
One
of
the
things
I
appreciate
about
council
member
of
agent
is
that
he's
pretty
good
at
taking
good
ideas
and
sometimes
strengthening
them,
making
them
better
figuring
out
things
that
maybe
need
to
be
changed
or
tweaked
a
little
bit
here,
so
that
we
truly
do
honor
the
intention
of
what
you
all
are
trying
to
do,
while
also
making
sure
that
we
have
clear
expectations
for
everyone.
One
else
of
what
the
intention
of
this
is
trying
to
do
so
I
also
wouldn't
be
surprised
if
there
weren't
some
small
amendments
that
could
be
made.
B
That
could
make
this
a
little
bit
stronger
without
you
know,
dishonoring
the
intention
of
what
you
all
work
so
hard
to
create
and
I
think
that
that's
something
that
we
can,
we
can
work
on
together
as
well,
so
be
supporting
the
motion
and
and
appreciate
everybody
being
part
of
this
yeah.
B
Yes,
I'm.
Sorry,
just
a
point
of
order
that
the
motion
on
the
table
currently
is
to
dispense
with
the
reading
rules,
and
that
would
allow
for
the
immediate
consideration
of
the
ordinance
under
the
Idaho
Statute.
So
just
taking
clarification
on
a
vote
for
that
first
and
then,
council
member
Wills
could
remake
her
motion
sure.
So,
but
we
won't
talk
again
this.
This
is
the
talking
time.
Okay,
so
we'll
go
ahead
and
finish
comments,
take
the
vote
and
then,
after
the
reading,
immediately
make
the
the
second
thing.
B
I
won't
be
voting,
but
I
just
I
wanted
to
say
a
couple
things.
It
was
really
wonderful
to
have
everybody
here
tonight.
I
appreciate
you
I'm
coming
and
you
know
it
was
also
reminded
me
so
deeply
and
really
viscerally
about
why
it
is
that
the
people
of
Boise
and
love
this
place,
that
we
call
home
and
and
love
the
people
and
that
make
this
place
home.
B
And
it's
really
odd
Katie
to
be
reminded
of
words
that
I
spoke
gosh
on
like
such
a
happy
day
when
I
was
in
my
early
20s
I'm
working
with
you
and
Jim
and
Elaine
and
probably
Lori,
and
so
many
other
people
to
protect
our
open
space,
and
that
was
the
start
of
so
much
of
the
work
that
I've
done,
but,
most
importantly,
the
start
of
so
much
of
the
community.
B
That's
been
built
around
protecting
this
place
that
we
call
home
and
it's
why
you
know
whether
it
was
on
the
Parks,
Board
or
then
on
Council
and
now
as
mayor
and
we've
really
sought
opportunities
to
create
special
places
for
our
kids
and
I
could
just
imagine
having
Runabout
measuring
collected
signatures,
I
love,
the
rabble,
Rouser
quote
Brian
and
that's
I
was
laughing.
B
So
I
was
like
who
said
that,
because
that's
what
it
felt
like
at
times
when
I
was
collecting
signatures,
it
makes
me
value
the
process
and
the
outcome
that
comes
when
citizens
engage
and
when
we
have
a
community
of
people
that
do
that.
I
can
just
imagine
because
I
saw
so
many
of
you.
B
What
have
you
at
this
at
the
market
was
a
step
that
continues
to
strengthen
the
community
that
we
have
and
the
value
that
we
all
place
on
each
other
and
on
this
place,
that
we
love
and
it's
why
I'm
super
proud
of
the
fact
that,
together
with
this
Council,
like
we've,
made
it
clear
that
we
want
every
kid
in
this
community
to
be
able
to
walk
to
a
park
safely
within
10
minutes.
That's
going
to
take
a
long
time
to
get
there.
But
that's
that's!
B
What's
guiding
us
as
we
seek
to
use
open
space
funds
to
purchase
future
Parkland
on
Shamrock,
because
it's
open
space
for
West
Boise
and
we'll
continue
to
do
that.
It's
why
pathways
are
so
important,
because
these
two
will
become
ways
to
connect
people
to
give
us
a
spot,
to
take
a
break,
to
commute
more
easily
and
more
safely
to
work
when
I
think
about
Marissa
driving
biking.
B
All
the
way
in
I'm
always
so
impressed
to
be
able
to
commute
more
more
safely,
but
also
to
provide
places
to
connect
and
frankly
play
in
linear
ways
and
to
the
gentleman
that
talk
tonight
about
his
daughter
visiting
not
having
a
run
really
close
to
riding
ball
canal,
and
while
we
can't
necessarily
get
riding
Buck
now
there
are
lots
of
ditches,
laterals
and
drains
that
come
off
of
riding
ball
and
that
we've
identified
in
those
112
miles
that
we
want
to
set
aside.
B
So
I
think
that
this
step
in
passing
this
tonight
that
the
council
seems
to
be
taking
is
the
right.
One.
I'm
really
appreciate
the
history
that
boiseans
have
is
Gary
and
Diane
I'm,
so
well
laid
out
when
we
could
hear
them
both
of
protecting
these
places
that
we
love
and
then
creating
spaces
for
those
that
come
alongside
us
as
new
residents.
We
call
them
boiseans.
We
don't
tell
them
to
go
elsewhere.
B
They
are
boiseans
to
help
us
protect
the
next
thing
for
our
kids
and
their
kids
and
the
kids
that
will
come
after
and
so
I
think
this
is
a
great
step,
and
it
is
one
of
those
things
as
council
member
Willett
said
that
we'll
look
back
on
and
recognize
that
their
need
or
might
need
to
be
some
tweaks,
but
