If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
All
present
councilmember
thompson,
it
looks
like
you're
unmuted,
but
we
didn't
hear
you.
Will
you
just
do
a
mic
check
nope?
So
I'm
going
to
suggest
you
check
your
audio
settings,
particularly
since
you're
going
to
need
to
be
talking
this
morning.
A
Okay,
we
will
move
into
an
update
on
our
zoning
code
rewrite
just
as
a
review.
This
was
a
process
that
we
began
talking
about
undertaking
a
couple
years
ago
and
then
in
the
last
year,
2020
citizens
came
together.
I
think
it's
is
it
wendy.
That's
here
with
us
today
to
discuss
hi
wendy,
welcome
to
discussion
in
the
in
the
mo
in
the
process.
A
If
you
haven't
gotten
it
we'll
make
sure
that
you
get
it
as
council
members
by
email
or
by
a
link,
and
then
the
public
also
once
after
this
presentation
should
be
able
to
take
a
look
at
the
summary
that
includes
an
update
on
the
break,
the
breakdown
of
who
we've
talked
to
like
renters
homeowners,
etc.
A
The
steps
moving
forward
and,
of
course,
the
feedback
that
we
received
from
the
public.
That's
made
it
clear
that,
having
a
simple,
understandable,
predictable
zoning
code
that
allows
for
housing
where
we
need
it
and
our
community
to
grow
is
really
important,
and
so
with
that
I'll
pass
it
over
to
wendy
or
andrea
thanks
for
joining
us.
B
Good
morning,
thank
you,
madam
mayor
council,
president
council
members,
so
nice
to
see
you
all
this
morning.
It's
been
a
little
while,
since
I've
seen
your
faces
so
today,
andrea-
and
I
are
going
to
give
you
an
update,
as
madame
mayer
said,
on
the
zoning
rewrite
project,
the
project
itself
is
one
that
I'm
sure
you're
familiar
with.
B
So
we
are
going
to
walk
you
through
an
overview
of
the
project
to
reground
everyone
on
what
we're
trying
to
do
review
the
scope
and
the
phases
of
the
project
and
how
we're
trying
to
get
it
accomplished.
Talk
about
when
show
you
the
timeline
and
then
andrea
is
going
to
give
you
some
really
specific
project.
Progress
updates
on
our
outreach
to
date,
as
well
as
what
we've
heard
from
our
community.
B
The
point
of
the
project,
the
the
overall
object
and
scope
goals
of
the
project
are
to
rewrite
our
zoning
code.
As
you
know,
our
code
is
approaching
55
years
old
and
zoning
codes
have
about
a
50-year
horizon,
so
we
are
working
on
the
code
to
modernize
it
and
probably,
most
importantly,
for
us
is
the
city
of
boise
to
implement
blueprint
boise.
B
So
we
are
building
on
our
mission
and
our
goals
across
the
city.
Our
strategic,
the
strategic,
important
area,
areas
that
you
as
council
members
and
our
community
have
indicated
are
important
and
trying
to
fully
engage
the
community
in
this
complex
project.
Our
zoning
code
needs
to
be
user
friendly,
so
that
developers,
homeowners
renters.
We
all
understand
what
the
zoning
code
is
and
making
zoning
fun
and
exciting,
of
course,
is
a
great
challenge.
So
we
are
trying
to
pull
in
as
much
of
the
community
as
we
can
so
that
we
can
really
incentivize
good
design.
B
The
difference
between
having
something
designed
well,
where
people
enjoy
living
in
the
city
and
have
something
designed
poorly,
has
a
direct
effect
on
how
we
all
feel
about
living
here,
so
that
those
are
our
scope
overviews
and
what
we're
trying
to
get
accomplished.
We've
broken
the
project
down
into
multiple
phases.
B
Phase
one
was
really
organizing
the
work
we
did
engage
an
external
consultant
who's,
a
specialist.
In
writing
zoning
codes.
The
specialist
name
is
clarion,
the
name
of
the
company
you've
probably
heard
of
them,
and
then
we
went
through
a
preliminary
outreach
assessment.
B
This
is
this
was
our
phase
two,
and
this
is
when,
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
we
reached
out
to
the
community
and
gathered
as
much
feedback
and
input
as
we
could.
The
diagnostic
report
was
the
major
deliverable
from
that
phase
and
that's
the
specific
update
that
andrea
is
going
to
share
with
you
shortly.
B
B
So
the
zoning
code
itself
can
be
a
little
weighty
and
so
we've
broken
the
code
into
three
different
modules:
module
one,
which
is
what
we're
working
on
right
now
is
a
three
to
four
month
period
of
time,
where
the
consulting
team
and
our
internal
pds
team
work
together
to
draft
the
first,
the
first
installment
of
the
zoning
code.
This
is
really
focused
on
uses.
B
B
That
phase
3
in
the
middle
of
the
diagram
in
green
is
where
we
are
and
in
phase
three
we
have
three
different
public
input
months
set
aside,
and
that
doesn't
mean
that's
the
only
time
we're
listening,
but
those
are
the
months
that
we
specifically
the
major
deliverable
and
the
major
tasks
for
the
project
is
to
listen
so
may
august
and
november
are
the
three
months
that
we
anticipate
planning
events,
making
sure
that
we're
hearing
from
the
public
and
then
into
the
phase
four
and
five,
which
is
the
blue
off
to
the
right
of
your
slide.
B
This
is
when
we
start
to
compile
the
code
and
put
it
all
together
for
public
release.
Of
course
the
public
will
be
able
to
comment.
Then
too.
We
have
two
months
set
aside,
but
at
that
point
we're
in
2022.
So
our
strategy
is
to
pull
the
public
in
and
get
input
early,
but
do
it
in
a
way
that
is
digestible
pieces
of
information,
the
zoning
code
itself.
B
If,
if
someone
starts
from
scratch
to
read
the
zoning
code,
it
it
might
be
overwhelming
so
we're
trying
to
release
it
in
pieces
as
we
go,
there
are
some
really
specific
major
milestones
that
we
are
targeting.
So
our
diagnostic
report
has
just
been
completed
and
that's
what
andrea
will
go
over
with
you
shortly
our
phase
three
completion.
B
B
B
So,
a
little
bit
more
than
a
little
bit
less
than
two
years
from
now.
The
project
is
doing
very
well.
We
are
currently
in
execution
for
our
phase
three,
and
everything
is
proceeding
in
a
way
that
we
feel
like.
We
have
good
engagement
from
the
community.
C
You
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
here
if
I
could,
and
that
way,
maybe
andreas
as
she
is
talking
can
also
answer
some
of
them.
So
in
the
project
over
you
view,
you
talk
about
streamlining
the
process
and
making
it
more
predictable,
which
is
certainly
one
of
my
big
goals.
But
what
I
didn't
really
hear
in
there
is
ensuring
that
what
is
able
to
be
developed
aligns
with
what's
in
blueprint,
boise
and
what's
in
our
predicted
land
use
changes
in
the
future.
B
Excellent,
thank
you
for
the
question
council
president
clegg,
so
the
blueprint
boise
is
the
foundational
document
that
both
our
consulting
team
and
our
internal
pds
team
is
using
as
guidelines
so
blueprint.
Boise
is
what's
informing
the
code,
rewrite
the
the
concept
of
the
neighborhood
activity,
centers
and
the
concept
of
the
regional
activity
centers
and
concentrating
concentrating
density
in
alignment
with
those
activity.
B
Centers
is
very
much
guiding
our
plan,
however,
with
the
current
zoning
code
right
now,
the
perception
that
we've
heard
loud
and
clear
from
the
organ
from
the
community
is
that,
depending
upon
who
is
doing
the
building,
the
rules
are
different.
So
that
is
the
perception
that
that
we
are
working
to
try
to
respond
to
did
that
answer.
Your
question.
C
A
little
I
just,
I
just
hope
that
we
really
focus
on
aligning
with
blueprint
voicing
more
than
streamlining,
aligning
with
my
job
a
lot
easier
right
now.
The
plan
doesn't
always
align
with.
What's
what
can
be
approved,
and
that
makes
it
really
tough
and
I
think,
that's
part
of
where
that
perception
about
subjectivity
comes
in.
B
C
Thank
you
second
question.
If
I
could
you
talked
about
that,
we'll
next
look
at
uses
and
then
look
at
design,
we'll
look
for
public
input,
so
two
things
I
first
of
all
was
hoping
that
we'd
focus
a
little
more
on
a
form
based
code
and,
if
we're
going
to
do
that,
we
probably
need
to
educate
both
the
public
and
the
development
community
about
what
that
is,
and
if
we're
going
to
do
that,
I'm
not
sure
that
you
know
and-
and
certainly
I
can
be
corrected
on
this-
I'm
not
sure
that
identifying
the
uses.
C
B
I
can
certainly
try
council
president,
and
then
I
will
ask
andrea
to
pitch
in
so
the
consultant
clarion
speaks
quite
often
about
form-based
codes,
so
he
is
indeed
steering
us
in
the
direction
of
form-based
zoning
and
the
sequence
that
their
firm
is
recommending
that
we
follow
that
we've
been
following
to
date
helps
walk
the
community,
specifically
the
city-wide
advisory
committee,
this
group
of
12
citizens
that
are
helping
advise
us
as
we
go.
B
It
walks
us
through
and
educates
as
we
go.
So
today,
we've
spoken
not
only
about
the
zones
and
about
how
many
there
are
and
whether
or
not
we
have
the
appropriate
number
should
we
collapse
should
we
expand,
but
as
well
as
the
uses
within
the
context
of
compatible
form.
So
the
clarion
team
is
guiding
us
in
the
direction
of
form
based
and
that's
probably,
if
I
go
much
further
than
that,
I'm
certainly
out
of
my
expertise.
B
D
Yes,
thank
you
wendy
and
madam
mayor
council,
president
clegg.
Yes,
so
we
are
looking
at
uses
first
to
kind
of
create
a
foundation
for
us
to
build
on.
So
what
is
allowed,
what
is
not
allowed
and
what
is
conditionally
allowed,
and
so
we've
had
some
misalignment
with
what
we
have
in
our
current
existing
code
and
what
our
blueprint
boise
or
our
comprehensive
plan
speaks
to,
and
so
we
want
to
create
that
foundation
first
and
then
we'll
move
on
to
the
design
standards
that
will
support
that
foundation.
C
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
If
I
could
follow
up
so
andrea,
it
still
sounds
to
me
like
we're,
really
focused
on
separating
uses
in
different
part
of
the
city.
Cit
different
parts
of
the
city,
rather
than
looking
at
the
kinds
of
form
that
can
house
different
kinds
of
uses
and
allowing
that
to
happen
is,
is
that
am
I
hearing
you
wrong,
or
is
that
so.
D
Madam
mayor
council,
president
clegg,
actually
our
conversations
with
our
community,
as
well
as
our
citywide
advisory
committee,
have
almost
been
an
integrated
approach.
So
people
have
said
okay,
our
comprehensive
plan
has
identified
these
mixed
use,
activity
centers
and
places
where
multiple
uses
jobs,
places
for
people
to
visit
and
recreate
can
occur,
but
our
current
zoning
code
doesn't
allow
for
that,
and
so
that's
kind
of
what
we're
looking
at.
So
you
know
we
haven't
finalized
anything.
D
D
We
have
talked
about
form
based
code,
we've
talked
about,
you
know
a
traditional
text
base
or
euclidean
code
as
well,
which
we
currently
have,
and
I
think
that
the
city-wide
advisory
committee,
as
well
as
our
community,
has
said.
I
think
we
need
a
really
good
balance
of
both
of
these
types
of
codes,
so
they
want
the
text,
but
they
also
want
the
visual
illustration
and
those
graphics
that
come
with
form
based
to
create
that
urban
form
that
we're
all
looking
to
achieve.
D
So
I
think
we're
going
to
get
a
really
good
balance
as
we
move
forward
we're
just
starting
that
drafting
process
of
module.
1
now,
and
so
I
think,
when
we
visit
with
you
next
time,
we're
going
to
have
a
good
foundation
for
you
to
take
a
look
at
and
and
see
how
we're
moving
along
and
how
we're
progressing.
E
I
just
want
to
reinforce
the
council
president's
input.
It
seems
to
me
if
this,
if
the
sort
of
structure
of
our
approach
is
to
define
uses,
then
go
look
at
form
and
layer
that,
on
top
that
what
we
will,
what
the
result
will
be
a
use-based
code,
and
so
the
the
council
president
said
it
better
and
ask
better
questions
than
I
can.
E
But
I
share
her
concern
if,
if
we
are
looking
first
at
uses
and
then
looking
to
design
guidelines
that
that
we
think
are
compatible
with
those
uses,
we
will
be
creating
a
use-based
code,
not
a
form-based
code,
and
that's
okay.
Maybe,
but
if
the
goal
is
really
to
balance
and
really
to
lean
hard
into
form
based,
it
seems
to
me
that
this
set
of
next
steps
just
sets
it
up
to
make
that
very
difficult.
D
Madam
major
councilman
beijing,
you
know
we
have
talked
to
our
consultant
about
that
they're
very
aware.
They
have
done
over
200
codes
nationwide
and
they
have
a
firm
belief
that
this
really
is
the
best
way
to
go.
D
They
feel
that
political,
buy-in
and
public
buy-in
has
to
occur
through
the
use
process
and
so
identifying
where
density
should
be
located
and
really
focusing
on
housing
uses
and
well
as
well
as
transportation,
and
how
those
integrate
together
early
on
so
that
we
can
actually
establish
a
map
that
will
guide
us
further
but
like,
as
I
said,
you
know,
our
discussions
haven't
been
isolated
by
any
regard.
You
know,
because
everything
is
so
integrated
with
one.
D
F
A
Mayor
go
ahead
and
then
I'd
like
andrea
to
move
through
what
she
intended
to
present
too.
From
a
time
perspective,.
F
Thank
you,
andrea
wendy.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
presentation
today.
As
as
you
may
be
aware,
we
at
the
city
of
boise
have
embarked
on
work
to
create
a
strategic
plan
for
diversity,
inclusion
and
equity
that
will
affect
every
bit
of
work
that
we
do
at
the
city
of
boise
and
certainly
the
work
that
you're
doing
here
affects
our
entire
city
and
affects
everybody
at
every
economic
level.
F
Every
walk
of
life,
and
I'm
just
wondering,
will
you
be
bringing
that
lens
to
this
work?
I
know
for
myself.
F
I
had
no
idea
that
there
were
such
things
as
zones
until
I
became
a
homeowner
in
the
early
2000s
and
a
fraternity
house
wanted
to
move
into
my
neighborhood
and
in
fact
that
would
that
was
the
very
first
time
that
I
came
before
this
council
as
a
constituent
giving
my
input
on
on
that.
So
I'm
just
I'm
just
wondering.
F
B
Madam
mayor
councilmember
sanchez,
I
would
like
to
take
a
a
try
that
answer.
So
yes
is
the
short
answer.
The
dei
efforts
that
are
underway
throughout
the
city
are
something
very
well
known
to
me.
Certainly
as
we
move
through
this
project,
we
will
be
bringing
that
lens,
specifically
and
andrea
will
touch
on
it.
In
her
update,
we
are
engaging
right
now
with
a
public
survey.
We
put
mailers
in
the
mail
starting
yesterday
reaching
out
specifically
to
the
areas
of
our
city
that
traditionally
don't
always
engage
with
us.
B
I'm
in
the
very
attempt
to
try
to
hear
some
of
the
voices
that
we
don't
always
hear.
If
that
method
of
outreach
using
a
mailer
sent
to
people's
homes
is
not
successful,
then
we
will
try
something
else.
It's
very
important
that
we
hear
all
the
voices
across
the
city,
or
else
our
zoning
code
project
will
be
significantly
less
successful.
F
Thank
you,
wendy
one.
One
bit
of
advice
I
would
suggest
for
for
you
is
to
connect
with
the
folks
who
worked
on
our
local,
complete
count
for
the
census.
In
2020,
we
developed
some
very
strong
partnerships
in
that
effort
to
to
have
a
complete
count,
and
I
believe
those
partnerships
were
invaluable.
F
These
folks
already
have
those
strong
relationships
with
diverse
members
of
our
community
and
it
would
save
us
a
lot
of
reinventing
the
will
if
we
just
go
back
to
those
initial
relationships
that
we
that
we
took,
we
took
great
pride
in
in
doing
a
great
job
in
doing
our
local
complete
count
in
2020,
and
so
I
suggest
we
keep
going
with
those
relationships
that
we
started.
D
Right,
thank
you
so
much
so.
As
wendy
had
noted,
we
have
had
significant
pros
progress
in
regard
to
our
public
engagement
activities.
They
originally
started
in
november
of
19,
and
that
was
under
our
previous
mayor
meter.
D
We
had
our
frequent
users,
so
we
had
architects,
engineers,
land
surveyors
planners,
and
then
we
also
had
our
active
community
members
that
we
hear
from
on
a
regular
basis.
We
asked
them
to
come,
join
us
as
well,
so
we
ultimately
touched
approximately
80
people
through
that
event,
and
then
we
had
a
mayoral
change
and
mayor
maclean
said:
hey.
D
Ultimately,
they
said
we
need
to
align
with
blueprint
boise
that
there
is
not
the
tools
that
we
need
in
the
zoning
code
today
to
adequately
implement
blueprint
voicing
they
wanted
better
zoning
districts.
That
would
allow
for
us
to
implement
those
activity,
centers
that
are
discussed
in
the
comprehensive
plan.
They
wanted
better
use
regulations,
meaning
they
wanted
uses
more
uses
that
were
allowed
and
then
a
clearer
division
of
what
was
allowed
and
what
was
prohibited.
D
In
addition
to
that
initial
outreach,
we
also
heard
from
clarion
as
they
reviewed
our
our
current
code,
and
they
said
also
that
our
current
code
and
blueprint
boise-
they
just
aren't
aligned
with
one
another,
and
there
really
isn't
they
aren't
supporting
one
another.
The
way
they
should.
They
also
identified
that
we
had
some
outdated
subdivision
standards
that
also
should
be
reviewed
through
the
updated
process.
D
D
D
D
And
so
what
we
learned
was
that,
ultimately,
we
need
to
have
a
simplified
approach
to
gathering
information
and
making
sure
that
it
is
understandable
by
everyone,
whether
you're,
a
frequent
code
user
or
a
property
owner,
or
just
somebody
interested
in
how
the
city
is
growing
and
evolving
over
time.
D
D
We
also
heard
that
the
ordinance
was
very
confusing.
It
was
long.
They
felt
that
it
was
inconsistently
applied,
and
there
was
this
perceived
notion
that
the
code
favored
development
interests,
so
we
needed
to
take
that
into
heart.
They
also
noted
that
there
were
ways
that
zoning
requirements
could
be
varied
or
waived
through
variances
and
waivers,
and
they
felt
that
that
made
our
process
unpredictable,
and
so
they
asked
the
city
to
create
a
predictable
set
of
standards
that
would
be
applied
over
time
equitably
and
not
buried
or
waived
throughout
the
process.
D
We
also
heard
that
neighbors
neighborhood
plans
and
neighborhood
associations
were
unsure
of
how
they
fit
into
that
development
process
and
how
they
could
influence
what
they
wanted
to
see
in
their
neighborhoods.
So
we
need
to
clarify
that
role
as
we
move
forward
and
how
they
can
engage
into
the
process.
D
So
we
were
able
to
package
all
of
that
information
up
into
a
single
report,
which
is
the
diagnostics
and
solutions
report
that
mayor
mclean
was
referring
to.
We
will
make
sure
that
each
one
of
you
receive
a
copy
of
that
final
document.
Ultimately,
it's
it
talks
about
what
we
heard
from
our
boise
citizens
through
all
that
engagement.
D
So
that
was
a
big
deliverable
for
us
and
that
actually
ended
phase
two,
as
we
move
into
phase
three
we're
going
to
be
working
on
that
draft
module,
one
which
is
permitted
and
allowed
uses
and
you're
going
to
see
a
draft
document
come
to
us
april.
22Nd
is
going
to
be
its
big
debut,
but
we've
got
a
lot
of
work
before
that
draft
document
is
done
and
as
wendy
had
mentioned,
we
have
compiled
a
very
simple
survey.
D
It's
three
very
easy
questions
that
we
are
publishing
online,
so
it
went
online
yesterday
it's
for
everyone
to
participate.
However,
in
talking
about
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion,
just
as
councilmember
sanchez
had
recommended,
we
have
to
get
our
community
involved.
D
And
so
we
wanted
to
target
those
individuals,
and
so
we
have
sent
just
over
14
000
postcards
out.
Individuals
have
the
option
to
fill
out
the
survey
on
that
postcard
place
a
stamp
on
it
and
return
it
to
us,
or
they
can
go
online
and
fill
out
the
survey
there.
So
they
have
two
options.
So
that
is
we're
hopeful
that
that's
going
to
touch
a
lot
of
those
households
and
those
families
and
individuals
that
we
may
not
hear
from
regularly.
D
D
We
also
have
some
accessibility
partners
that
we're
working
with
to
see
if
we
can't
touch
some
of
those
other
communities
as
well.
So
we
want
to
keep
in
mind
that
this
is
only
one
way
that
we're
touching
our
community.
We
still
have
our
project
website
that
anybody
can
visit.
We
have
an
email
and
a
newsletter
that
we
are
sending
out
to
anybody
that
signs
up
to
be
on
our
email
list.
D
We
have
our
continued
city-wide
advisory
committee
meetings
that
are
held
on
the
third
thursday
of
each
month.
With
the
exception
of
april,
we've
actually
moved
that
to
the
fourth
thursday,
we're
also
doing
road
shows
and
meeting
with
a
number
of
individuals.
So
thus
far,
we've
met
with
the
american
institute
of
architects.
D
The
builders
contractors
association
we've
met
with
our
accessibility
committee,
we're
meeting
with
public
works
and
we've
also
met
with
the
sierra
club
and
we'll
continue
to
do
those
road
shows
as
well,
and
then
we've
heard
from
citizens
or
groups
that
say
hey.
We
want
to
come
in
and
visit
with
you
and
we've
had
open
office
hours,
and
so
we've
made
time
for
those
individuals
as
well.
D
Then,
as
we
move
to
module
two,
we
will
say:
hey.
What
do
you
think
about
these
design
standards?
Are
they
achieving
what
we're
looking
for
as
a
community
and
then
we'll
go
back
out
again
in
november
through
december
and
touch
bases
with
everybody
to
make
sure
our
processes
and
procedures
are
working
but,
as
promised
we'll
be
re
visiting
with
you
multiple
times
to
keep
you
up
to
date
and
make
sure
that
you
know
what
our
community
is
saying
and
ensure
that
you
are
participating
to
the
level
that
you'd
like
to.
D
So
that
really
is
where
we
are
with
our
process
and
how
we've
come
thus
far.
We
know
we've
got
a
long
road
ahead,
but
we
have
a
lot
to
celebrate.
So
with
that,
I
can
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have.
Madame
mayor.
F
F
I
think
they'll
be
key,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
that
they
understand
the
connection
between
this
rewrite
that
we're
doing
in
zoning
and
how
it
directly
affects
the
quality
of
life
of
the
people
that
they
serve.
So
I
think
once
we
can
do
that
andrea,
I
think
we'll
be
able
to
connect
more
with
that
population.
F
I've
done
outreach
myself,
and
I
found
that
when
I
tried
to
do
it
directly
with
with
communities
that
I
did
not
have
a
strong
relationship
with
it
took
much
longer
and
yes,
I
could
mark
it
off
my
list
of
things
to
do
that.
Well,
I
did
it,
but
was
it
effective?
Did
I
get
the
results
I
wanted.
F
I
found
that
when
I,
when
I
connected
with
those
groups
that
already
had
an
established
relationship
with
those
communities,
once
I
established
that
relationship
I
was
able
to
piggyback
they
loaned
me
their
credibility
and
and
and
then
I
was
able
to
get
the
results
that
I
was
looking
for.
So
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we
really
connect
with
those
partners,
those
potential
partners
and
make
sure
that
they
understand
the
relevance
of
this
zoning
rewrite
and
how
it's
going
to
positively
affect
their
their
constituents
that
they
serve.
D
Madam
mayor
councilman
sanchez,
thank
you
so
much.
I
think
you
are
absolutely
right,
and
so
we
are
going
to
spend
this
next
period
of
time
really
focused
on
building
those
relationships
so
that
we
know
how
best
to
do
that
next
step
of
public
outreach
that
we're
going
to
see
in
may
so,
we've
got
some
time
to
really
build
on
those.
A
Madam
mayor,
I'm
gonna
we're
15
minutes
over
on
this,
so
it
looks
like
both
council
president
and
council
member
weddings
have
something
to
say,
and
then
I'm
going
to
ask
that
everybody
get
additional
comments
through
amanda
to
share
so
that,
because
I
want
to
make
sure
that
council
member
thompson
has
time
to
present
his
ordinance
go
ahead.
I'm
council,
member
wittings
thank.
G
You
just
on
a
process
from
a
process
standpoint.
I
think
it
would
have
been
helpful,
at
least
for
me,
to
receive
the
report
in
advance
of
this
presentation
so
that
I
can
kind
of
wrap
my
head
a
little
bit
more
around
it
and
have
better
questions
to
ask,
and
also
from
a
process
standpoint.
Andrea
and
wendy.
Are
you
guys,
working
with
the
office
of
community
engagement
on
this,
as
well
as
you're
figuring
out
the
outreach?
B
Madam
mayor
council,
member
weddings,
yes,
that
we're
working
with
them
very
closely,
they
have
had
a
team
member
on
the
project
team,
and
now
they
have
multiple
helping
us
out,
so
we
are
trying
to
leverage
them
to
the
best
of
our
ability.
Great.
Thank
you.
C
A
H
Okay,
great
and
I'm
sharing
my
screen.
Hopefully
you
can
see
that
now
and
anyways.
I
was
I'll
propose
that
you
let
me
get
through
my
presentation
and
then
save
questions
for
the
end
and
then
maybe
we
can
also
go
over
11
30
just
slightly,
but
I'll
move
quickly,
as
I
can
be
thorough.
A
H
Absolutely
well,
I
feel
like
today,
I'm
presenting
my
life's
work.
It's
it's
been
a
long
ride
and
I'll
tell
you
what
I
I
want
to
start
off
by
thanking
three
people
that
have
done
an
immense
amount
of
work.
That's
jen,
patino
and
legal
who's,
put
countless
hours
and
then
two
on
the
outside
jeff
rosenthal,
idol,
humane
society
and
lisa
kaufman
with
human
society
of
america.
H
What
I'm
proposing
is
not
just
an
animal
code
but
a
compassionate
animal
code.
It's
really
common
sense
changes.
It's
a
complete
rewrite.
It's
essentially
a
repeal
and
replace
of
our
current
code.
As
we
all
know,
boise
is
really
at
the
center
of
the
universe.
When
it
comes
to
dogs,
I
mean
dino.
Humane
society
literally
brings
more
in
just
to
meet
demand
and
that's
very
uncommon.
Around
the
united
states,
as
you
know,
worked
over
two
years
on
this
extremely
passionate
about
animals,
and
I
know
you
all
are
too.
H
I
know
you
all,
have
dogs
cats
or
have
been
prior
dog
cat
owners.
So
it's
it's
nothing
new
to
all
of
you.
Okay.
Now,
if
I
figure
out
how
to
switch
the
slide,
let's
there
there
we
go.
Okay,
so
how
did
we
get
here?
You
know,
as
you
know,
by
now
the
state
of
idaho
is
way
behind
when
it
comes
to
animal
protection.
H
We're
45th
in
the
country
not
a
great
place
to
be,
and
there's
nothing
on
the
horizon
that
the
state
legislature
is
going
to
be
doing
anytime
soon
for
our
companion,
animals
reached
out
early
and
and
noted
and
found
out
with
the
state
ag
that
we
have
clear
authority
to
regulate,
in
particular
around
companion,
animals
and
exotic
animals.
This
will
not
impact
hunting
in
any
way.
It
will
have
impact
those
that
are
private
breeders
of
animals.
H
It
doesn't
impact
production,
agricultural
animals,
those
are
primarily
hands
off
to
us,
but
if
we're
going
to
make
a
difference,
if
we're
going
to
have
a
change,
this
has
to
happen
at
the
local
level.
I've
been
working
over
the
last
two
years,
as
I
told
you
with
lots
of
different
folks
in
this
community,
I've
worked
with
idle
humane
society
experts.
I've
attended.
The
animal
law
conference
made
my
major
connections
there:
animal
enthusiast
owners,
kennel
clubs,
handlers
of
special
animals
like
the
raptors,
and
you
know
today
it's
been
really
overwhelming
in
terms
of
support.
H
I've
received
hundreds
of
emails
in
support
of
these
modifications.
This
is
my
second
time
before
council,
the
first
time,
of
course,
2019
and
kovitz
certainly
slowed
things
down
as
well.
I've
been
before
leadership
council
leadership
in
the
mayor
twice
to
discuss
this
and
had
extensive
involvement
from
the
legal
team,
jen
pitino
in
particular,
big
thanks
again
to
her.
This
code
is
really
split
into
two
sections:
general
enforcement
and
animal
cruelty.
General
enforcement,
as
you
know,
right
now,
is
handled
by
the
idaho,
humane
society.
We
hired
them
to
do
that
work.
H
They
they
weren't
able
to
really
use
our
code.
It
was
so
antiquated
and
out
of
date.
So
this
really
does
a
lot
of
cleanup
that
I
that
we
need
new
definitions.
H
It
amends
the
role
of
our
animal
enforcement,
clarifies
it
if
dog
licensing
gets
cleaned
up,
we
had
the
option
for
a
two
or
three
year
license.
It
adds
the
rabies,
vaccination
or
also.
This
should
be
noted.
Proof
of
an
anti-body
titer
test
is
also
okay,
which
is
important
to
many
of
our
animal
animal
owners
out
there.
It
updates
the
non-commercial
kennel
license,
which
is
near
and
dear
to
my
heart.
H
I
once
had
to
go
door
to
door
for
that,
because
I
had
two
indoor
cats
and
three
dogs,
so
it
crossed
the
four
dog
limit.
It
keeps
the
limit
at
four.
Unless
you
have
all
cats,
then
it
goes
up.
You
can
have
five,
it
does
put
the
limit
total
max
at
ten.
The
big
kicker
on
the
non-commercial
kennel
license
here
is
going
door-to-door
is
very
intrusive.
There's
some
individuals
that
now
are
next
to
apartment
complexes
requiring
over
40
signatures
to
get
every
single
year.
H
This
just
adds
an
option
where
you
also
we
can
do
a
mailing.
The
city
clerk
will
do
a
mailing,
rather
as
an
option
to
going
door-to-door
from
time
to
time.
So
the
move
on
to
this
next
sled,
the
it
also
does
in
improvements
you
know
around
what
was
called
vicious
dog.
It
will
be
dangerous
or
potentially
dangerous
dog.
H
This
was
a
a
pretty
heavy
lift
to
be
honest,
to
ensure
that
we
get
it
right
and
make
sure
we
have
a
process,
that's
fair
for
both
the
animals
and
the
individuals
and
or
other
animals
that
are
involved
in
something
that
occurs.
H
Barking
dog
is
much
better
defined
in
how
to
enforce
a
barking
dog,
clearly
define
and
and
how
that
process
can
move
forward.
It
also
ensures
protections
for
ada
service
dogs,
which
wasn't
in
there
at
the
time
now
pardon
the
pun,
but
let's
move
to
the
800
pound
gorilla
in
the
room,
and
that
is
animal
cruelty.
H
Now
this
will
add
specifically
a
section
a
definition
of
what
animal
hoarding
is,
and
it's
not
based
on
a
number
of
animals
again
that
the
number
of
animals
is
covered
under
the
non-commercial
kennel
license,
but
it
does
provide
a
definition
and
it
adds
that
that
is
a
form
of
animal
cruelty
in
terms
of
cruelty
itself.
H
It's
much
more
clearly
defined
so
that
it
actually
can
be
enforced
things
that
are
common
sense,
such
as
food
in
sufficient
quantity,
water,
veterinary
care,
that
is
reasonable,
a
living
environment,
that's
free
of
excessive
waste,
and
contaminants
prevents
severe
matting
and
severely
overgrown
nails
and
or
hooves
prevents,
beating
or
intentionally
injuring
your
pet
prevents
dumping
or
abandoning
your
pet.
H
It
permits
prevents
intentionally
poisoning
a
pet
owned
by
another
person
adds
hoarding
of,
and
you
know
it
adds
extreme
heat
cold
that
results
in
things
such
as
hypothermia
or
frostbite
as
diagnosed
by
a
veterinarian,
and
it
also
ups.
We
are
limited
in
what
we
can
do
in
terms
of
fine,
but
it
makes
the
minimum
fine
250
for
animal
cruelty,
which
of
course,
is
much
too
small,
but
it's
one
of
the
best
things
we
can
do
in
terms
of
enforcement.
H
H
This
is
clearly
a
form
of
animal
abuse.
It's
proven
bears
on
roller
skates
and
elephants
on
a
dress
in
their
head
is
not
something
we
need
to
see
and
how
they
are
trained
to
perform.
Those
acts
and
travel
around
the
the
country
is
a
form
of
animal
cruelty.
This
also
will
add
a
feral
cat
section.
So
I
want
to
explain
this
because
there's
a
lot
of
misunderstanding
around
it.
Cats
come
in,
you
know
it.
Let
me
back
up
it's.
It
is
in
the
the
code.
H
It
was
before
it's
more
clear
now
that
you
are
supposed
to
keep
your
your
cat.
Just
like
your
dog
indoors.
We
all
know
many
people,
let
their
cats
roam
free
during
the
day.
There's
one
in
my
neighborhood.
He
lives
a
great
life
and
he's
always
walking
around
we.
We
do
know
that
does
limit
their
lifespan,
but
it's
it's
what
the
owner
has
chosen
to
do,
but
what
happens
is
when
a
cat
pick
is
is
picked
up
by
the
humane
society
they're
quite
frequently
collected
back
by
the
owner.
H
If
it's
a
house
cat,
if
it's
that
they've
been
letting
out-
and
they
know
it's
gone
and
they
go
check
for
it,
it's
the
feral
cats,
they
don't
get
taken
back
and
cats
get
very
sick
very
quickly
when
they're
getting
very
nervous
in
the
shelter
and
within
days,
they're,
sick
and
very
well
might
have
to
be
put
down,
and
what
this
does
is
allow
a
couple
days
for
someone
to
come.
H
First
get
their
animal
when
he's
missing,
if
they
don't
spayed
or
neutered
by
iowa
humane
society
on
their
bill,
and
they
take
it
back
and
release
it
into
the
location.
It's
the
humane
thing
to
do
with
these
animals.
They
they
will
die
quickly.
If
this
process
isn't
adhered
to,
the
humane
society
no
longer
does
kill
cats.
They
will
not
go
back
in
that
practice.
H
If
we
don't
imply
or
put
this
into
place,
what
we
could
end
up
saying
is
a
shelter
that
just
simply
no
longer
handles
cats,
that's
not
where
we
want
to
go,
and
it
should
be
noted
that
only
about
five
percent
of
the
actual
feral
cat
population
ends
up
coming
into
the
shelter
and
would
go
back
out.
It's
a
very
small
percentage
that
they
actually
bring
in.
H
This
also
will
close
the
puppy
mill
loophole
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is
ending
the
sell
of
dogs
and
cats
in
retail
pet
stores.
Quite
frequently,
these
are
linked
to
two
puppy
mills
in
terms
of
how
they
are
obtained.
This
is
commercially
bred
cats.
This
is
not
zamzo's
petsmart,
they
do
an
outstanding
job.
Those
are
animal,
shelter,
pups
also
there's
a
clear
breeder
exemption,
so
they
will
not
be
impacted.
I
support
breeders.
H
One
of
my
animals
is
from
a
fully
full
bread,
finish
lapin
as
well,
and
I
show
my
support
for
them.
There's
currently,
no
retail
pet
stores
in
boise,
there's
has
been
in
the
past
both
had
very
dire
histories
and
recorded
pass
with
those
animals,
but
presently
there
are
none.
So
this
is
a
really
good
time
to
do
it.
It
also
includes
in
the
park.
You
know
the
parvo
puppies
coming
out
of
cardboard
boxes
to
some
degree.
H
H
What
this
will
do
we'll
say
that
the
us,
the
sell
of
these
animals
from
our
parks,
the
streets,
the
alleyways
sidewalks
public
right-of-ways-
is
also
no
longer
allowed,
so
it
partners
with
the
company
that
says
you
know
what
you
can't
do
it
here
and
now
the
city
says,
and
you
can't
just
push
it
out
onto
the
sidewalk,
so
it
closes
that
loophole
and
gets
us
moving
forward,
and
then,
lastly,
I'm
sorry
I
I
just
covered
that
slide,
but
I
hadn't
turned
the
slide
yet
so
again,
yeah
it
that's
to
the
animal
stores
and
that's
to
the
animals
in
public
right,
aways,
the
cardboard
box
puppies.
H
Lastly,
this
is
where
we
can
do
some
real
good
as
well
animals
and
hot
animals
unattended
in
hot
cars.
First
of
all,
it
prohibits
it.
It
says
that
if
they're
it's
too
hot
or
then
certainly
it's
a
form
of
animal
cruelty
too.
But
what
we
do
here
is
we
will
really
set
the
gold
standard
we
go
above
and
beyond.
This
has
been
done.
The
good
samaritan
clause
that
allows
an
individual
to
check
the
you
know,
look
around
they
see
this
dog
is
clearly
in
going
to
die
or
in
harm's
way.
H
They
they
check
the
doors
they
look
for
the
owners
around
the
vehicle
they're,
not
there.
This
allows
them
to
enter
that
vehicle
and
save
the
the
animal
it's
under
strict
criteria.
Again,
you
know
checking
the
door
look
for
the
person,
but
they
have
to
call
9-1-1.
First,
they
get
the
police
on
the
phone.
They
find
out
how
how
soon
the
the
police
will
be
able
to
get
there
and
they
say.
Okay,
then
go
ahead.
You
you
enter
that
vehicle,
we're
on
our
way.
H
They
stay
with
the
the
animal
until
the
the
police
are
there.
They
completely
relinquish
the
rights
of
the
animal
to
the
police
at
that
time,
so
this
will
really
set
the
gold
standard.
It's
been
done,
statewide
the
the
good
samaritan
in
around
30
states.
We
would
be
the
first
city,
I
believe
in
america
to
take
it
on
ourselves,
but
it's
not
going
to
happen
in
idaho
folks.
So
it's
it's
on
us
to
do
these
types
of
actions.
Take
these
things
and
save
our
our
furry
friends
and
that's
where
I'll
leave
it.
H
H
I
know
pat.
I
also
know
that
patrick
agent
had
some
recommendations
and
elaine
had
a
comment
in
terms
of
the
signage
for
a
potentially
dangerous
dog.
You
can
add
those
now,
if
you'd
like
get
them
on
the
record.
E
E
But
first
I
want
to
point
out
that
I
did
consult
with
the
most
important
constituency
I
have,
which
is
my
veterinarian
fiance,
and
she
had
nothing
but
praise
for
many.
Many
of
the
things
that
you
put
in
here.
E
She
was
particularly
impressed
that
you
included
excessive
matting
in
the
definition
of
animal
cruelty,
so
good
job,
section,
511
deals
with
dangerous
dogs
and
it
creates
exceptions
for
dogs
that
attack
foul,
there's
a
conflict
in
the
words
with
domestic
and
wild
fowl.
I
think
that's
just
an
easy
cleanup.
E
It's
511
c8,
so
whoever's
taking
notes
on
this
can
catch
that
the
bigger
concern
I
had
was
in
five
120
that
dealt
with
impoundment,
so
section
5120
c1
says
that
we
can
notify
an
owner
of
impoundment
by
mail
but
then,
depending
on
the
type
of
animal
e2
and
and
20
f,
make
it
so
that
the
animal
can
be
disposed
of
or
adopted
out
in
three
days.
So
it's
possible
that
you're
notified
by
mail.
E
You
get
your
mail
three
or
four
days
later
and
your
animal's
already
gone
so
there's
a
timeline
issue
to
address
in
there
and
then
the
third
thing
is
animal
proteins,
the
animal
license.
We
require
cats
and
dogs,
dogs
in
particular
to
be
licensed.
I
think
that's
great,
but
I'd
like
to
loosen
up
how
we
require
licenses
to
be
displayed
so,
for
example,
my
dogs,
I
don't
use
the
city
tags,
I
have
an
engraved
brass
plate,
that's
riveted
to
their
collar,
so
it
can
never
be
lost.
E
H
C
You,
madam
mayor,
go
ahead
just
just
for
everyone
else
real
quickly.
I
asked
that
councilmember
thompson
changed
the
provision
that
dangerous
or
potentially
dangerous
dogs
be
that
public
be
notified
by
a
sign,
saying:
beware
of
dogs
to
one
saying
dangerous
or
potentially
dangerous
dogs
per
boise
city
code
xyz,
because
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
beware
of
dog
signs
around
and
it
would
be
confusing.
H
Thank
you
for
that,
madam
mayor.
If
I
could
just
add
the
next
steps
as
well,
I
forgot
that
was
my
last
slide
there.
So
the
complaint
ordinance
will
be
available
online.
It
is
currently
but
we're
going
to
have
a
site
set
up
where
which
will
allow
residents
to
submit
their
thoughts
in
advance
of
the
public
hearing
and
we'll
be
engaging,
and
we
have
already
started
social
media
outreach
via
the
various
city
media
channels
and
we're
proposing
the
public
hearing
be
on
april
6th
to
move
forward.
G
Madam
mayor,
I
want
to
thank
council
member
bay
gent
for
making
that
clarification
about
the
callers.
My
dog
also
does
not
wear
her
tag
on
her
collar,
but
she
has
a
engraved
plate
because
when
she
shakes
her
head,
it
wakes
up
the
kids
and
otherwise
you
know
and
she's
a
runner,
so
we
have
to
make
sure
that
she
always
is
wearing
identification
at
all
times.
I
want
to
thank
council
member
thompson
as
well
for
really
taking
some
of
my
early
comments
into
consideration
in
this
subsequent
draft.
G
My
I
had
some
concerns
earlier
about
the
language
around
the
the
agency
that
is
enforcing
these
laws
and
providing
our
animal
control
and
care,
and
he
really
took
those
into
account
and
came
back
with
a
much
better
draft
that
not
only
reflects
our
current
agreement
with
our
animal
control
and
care
agency,
which
is
the
idaho
humane
society,
but
leaves
our
options
open
for
the
future
in
case
that
agreement
should
need
to
change
in
any
way.
So
I
really
appreciate
that
thanks
councilmember
thompson,.
H
Thank
you,
councilmember
weddings
and
all
of
you.
I
also
madame
mayor.
I
I
should
mention
that
each
any
of
these
tweaks
that
have
been
mentioned
will
certainly
get
into
the
final
thing,
but
it
they'll
be
made
after
the
public
hearing,
so
everyone
will
be
commenting
on
the
the
current
draft
in
terms
of
the
citizens,
we'll
be
commenting
on
that
and
then
post
public
hearing
these
edits
in
any
other
potential
edits
would
be
made
before
a
first
reading.
F
Madam
mayor,
yes
go
ahead.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
councilman
thompson.
This
is
great
work.
I
have
to
admit.
I
am
concerned
about
the
cats
at
large
portion
and
you
know
I'm
a
renter,
so
I
I
have
to
comply
with
what
the
property
owner
asks
and
I'm
not
allowed
to
have
my
cat
inside.
F
You
know,
and
I
actually
got
my
cat
from
the
humane
society
for
10
bucks
best
10
bucks
I
ever
spent.
So
you
know
I'll
just
share
something
personal.
The
fact
is,
my
cat
is
an
emotional
support.
Animal.
I
have
a
letter
from
a
doctor,
but
I've
never
really
pushed
it
with
my
landlady.
F
If,
if
that
part
stays,
I
would
have
to
do
that
and
I
have
to
admit
as
a
renter
it
gives
me
pause.
You
know
renters
or
in
tenuous
situations,
especially
these
days,
and
a
lot
of
us
very
rarely
want
to
push
our
luck,
even
if
we
have
the
law
behind
us.
So
I
just
want
to
bring
that
to
your
attention.
F
People
tend
to
think
of
dogs
as
support
animals
or
emotional
support
animals
and
service
animals,
but
there
are
other
animals
that
serve
that
role
and,
in
my
case,
murray,
the
cat
is
my
emotional
support
animal.
So
that's
just
one
area.
I
think
we
need
to
spend
some
time
educating
folks,
if
that's
gonna
stay
in
this
ordinance.
H
H
It
it's
it's
it's
more
clarified,
but
it
that
that
was
the
law
before,
but
the
the
primary
reason
for
that
council
member
sanchez
is
for
liability
reasons,
just
say
that
you're,
a
cat
jumps
into
someone's
backyard
and
their
dog
kills
it.
It
protects
the
person
that
owns
the
dog
because
it
was
on
private
property.
So
it's
it's
really.
It's
not
that
humane
society
is
certainly
not
out
trying
to
find
cats
and
bring
them
in
that's
not
their
role.
H
I
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
tj,
councilmember
thompson.
I
just
wanted
to
say
good
job
putting
this
together.
I
know
how
much
work
you
put
into
it
and
how
important
this
is
to
you.
I'm
really
excited
to
see
what
the
public
engagement
is
going
to
look
like
at
the
public
hearing
in
all
these
other
areas,
because
people
do
care
about
those
their
animals.
I
So
much
and
even
small
things
like
the
things
that
council
member
beijing
and
council
member
woodings
brought
up
about
the
tags,
those
types
of
things
I
expect
those
will
be
some
of
like
the
minor
changes
that
we
see
and
I'm
excited
to
see
what
some
other
you
know.
Smaller
things
come
up,
but
again,
thanks
for
all
the
work
that
you
put
into
this
and
the
team
that
worked
with
you
as
well.
B
E
C
Thank
you
and
mayor
just
thank
tj
for
bringing
this
forward
and
look
forward
to
the
public
hearing
as
well.
Thank
you.
