C
D
A
All
right:
well,
we've
got
one
item
on
our
agenda
for
this
morning
before
the
noon
council
meeting,
and
that
is
our
budget
with
Eric
is
here
with
his
team.
You
know
I
just
want
to
say
a
couple
things
as
we
kick
off.
I
appreciate
all
the
work.
That's
gone
into
this
and
I'll
say
more
of
that
at
the
end,
and
just
a
reminder
that
today
is
a
work
session
work
through
it.
A
If,
if
there
are
questions
that
can't
be
answered
this
morning,
we'll
collect
them
we'll
get
back
to
you,
the
the
time
timing
wise.
This
is
the
time
to
have
all
the
presentations
work
through
it
and
then
recognize
that
you
know.
Once
we've
passed
this
budget,
we
will
it's
a
work
in
progress
throughout
the
year
and
there
will
be
changes
and
one
I
wanted
a
flag.
Is
that
and
there
was
discussion
about
Staffing
for
Planning
and
Zoning.
A
This
is
an
example,
but
that
Staffing
was
dependent
on
action
that
you
took
last
week
with
the
modern
zoning
code,
and
so
that
won't
be
in
this
budget,
but
we'll
address
it
through
ibc's
after
the
process.
Just
based
on
based
on
timing
and
just
let's
say,
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
conversation
today,
because
this
this
budget
continues
to
be
a
reflection
of
the
values
and
goals
and
vision
that
we
have
and
I'm
really
excited
about.
The
advancements
that
we
are
able
to
make.
E
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
Madame
mayor
members
of
the
council.
It's
my
pleasure
this
morning
to
present
the
fiscal
year
2024
proposed
budget.
This
morning
we
have
several
items
to
work
through
I'll.
Do
a
brief
overview
of
our
agenda?
I
have
just
a
few
introductory
slides.
I
will
then
spend
a
little
bit
of
time
going
through
themes
and
strategies
included
within
this
budget.
We'll
do
a
city-wide
summary
we'll
go
through
general
fund
revenues
and
general
fund
expenditures.
E
Travis
will
Travis
black
will
go
through
our
Capital
fund
and
do
an
overview
of
the
capital
fund
and
Sean
Wilson
will
join
and
do
a
little
little
discussion
around
cost
escalation
that
we're
seeing
within
our
capital
projects,
we'll
discuss
fees
and
charges
and
then
move
on
to
motions
and
next
steps.
You
can
see
a
picture
on
on
this
slide
of
it's
a
screenshot
from
the
city's
website.
E
There
was
a
website
established
to
capture
citizen
feedback
that
that
website
went
live
earlier
in
the
spring
I
think
in
April,
and
through
that
website
we've
been
able
to
collect
citizen
comments
on
the
budget
a
little
overview
as
to
the
budget
process.
In
total,
you
can
see,
on
the
left
hand,
left
hand
side
of
this
Slide
the
City
Council
kind
of
timeline.
So
we
began
the
conversation
mid-april
with
the
city
council,
where
we
did
a
comprehensive
budget
overview
subsequent
to
that
right.
E
A
couple
weeks
ago
on
June
16th,
we
released
our
our
budget
book
and
that
leads
us
to
today.
Our
second
budget
Workshop
subsequent
to
today,
we'll
have
the
public
hearing
scheduled
for
July
11th,
ultimately
leading
up
to
the
approval
of
the
budget
and
the
approval
of
rl2
related
to
our
property
taxes
on
August
29th.
E
From
a
public
perspective,
you
can
see
again
that
the
budget
feedback
website
went
live
on
April
10th,
giving
an
opportunity
for
the
public
to
provide
commentary
on
the
city's
strategic
priority
areas
and
how
the
budget
can
have
a
positive
impact
on
the
community
with
that
feedback
being
shared
throughout
the
budget
process.
Again,
ultimately,
leading
up
to
the
July
11th
public
hearing
where
members
of
the
of
the
public
are
invited
and
encouraged
to
come
and
provide
their
feedback
on
on
the
proposed
budget.
E
The
budget
document
itself
again
was
released
on
June
16th.
It
is
available
on
the
city's
website.
You
can
see,
on
the
left
hand,
side
that
the
cover
of
that
document
I'd
also
be
remiss
to
not
mention
that
there
is
an
opportunity
to
interact
with
the
budget
on
a
daily
basis.
We
have
a
budget
transparency
tool
called
openbook
where
the
community
can
see
in
real
time
budget
to
actual
information.
E
So
that's
that's,
obviously
our
first
and
foremost
consideration
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
balanced
budget,
but
above
and
beyond
that,
we
look
to
ensure
that
any
changes
that
we
include
in
the
budget
are
sustainable
over
time,
that
we
have
the
appropriate
treatment
of
one-time
revenues
and
ongoing
revenues
and
really
build
a
budget
in
response
to
the
current
economic
climate.
You'll
see
throughout
this
presentation
that
there
have
been,
you
know,
different
allowances
for
a
potential
recession.
E
We
really
want
to
ensure
that
the
the
city
and
the
city's
budget
is
on
strong
footing
throughout
the
throughout
the
fiscal
year
when
we
do
the
the
the
budget
we're
looking
not
only
at
a
one-year
Horizon
but
a
a
five
and
a
ten
year,
Horizon
so
going
to
that
second
bullet
again,
making
sure
that
any
changes
can
be
supported
over
time
to
the
best
of
our
knowledge.
E
Second
theme
we'd
like
to
highlight
is
property
tax
relief.
The
mayor
mentioned
this
will
be
going
into
detail
throughout
the
presentation
on
this,
but
there
is
a
two
percent
base:
growth
assumption
on
property
tax
two
percent
represents
approximately
or
represents
two-thirds
of
the
maximum
allowable
amount
when
combined
with
assessment
data,
which
again
I'll
be
going
going
over
throughout
the
presentation
and
the
effects
of
House
Bill
292.
E
There
is
a
favorable
condition
present
for
residential
property
taxpayers,
and
really
this
is
really
the
first
time
in
over
a
decade
that
we've
seen
some
some
sort
of
relief
across
the
across
the
board
for
residential
taxpayers.
E
Also
included
in
this
proposed
budget
is
the
continuation
of
the
property
tax
rebate
program
into
fiscal
year
2024..
It
was
included
for
the
first
time
because
it
was
allowed
for
the
first
time
in
fiscal
year
2023
there
was
a
very
successful
rollout
and
high
participation
levels,
so
the
continuation
of
that
program
is
again
proposed
for
fiscal
year.
24.
E
E
The
Treasure
Valley
MSA
has
grown
by
you
know
approximately
14
over
the
last
five
years,
and
you
know
many
community
members
throughout
the
Treasure
Valley
rely
upon
the
city
of
Boise,
for
various
services
proposed
Investments
included
within
this
budget
will
help
the
city
respond
to
increased
service
demand
for
City
Services
for
years
to
come.
E
Fourth
theme
will
highlight
is
really
addressing
pressing
Community
needs.
There
are
investments
included
in
this
budget
to
support
existing,
affordable
housing
to
provide
emergency
Sheltering
for
vulnerable
community
members,
a
significant
Public
Safety,
Investments
and
modern
zoning
code
implementation
approved
last
week.
E
Looking
at
growth
Trends
in
terms
of
positions,
we
also
presented
the
slide
in
May,
but
I
think
it's
it's
interesting
to
look
at.
If
you
look
at
fiscal
years,
20
through
2017
through
2020,
most
immediate
years
before
covid,
we
were
averaging
approximately
28
positions
per
year
in
the
general
fund.
E
The
two
years
proceeding
this
year
that
we're
talking
about.
We
had
added
an
average
of
47
positions
per
year
and
that
was
very
much
yeah.
A
catch-up
catch-up
situation
following
very
minimal
investments
in
fiscal
year
2021
and
in
response
to
kind
of
rapid
growth
in
the
community
fiscal
year.
24
includes
the
addition
proposed
edition
of
26.7
FTE,
which
is
really
in
line
with
the
historical
average.
E
You
can
see
the
chart
on
the
left
that
the
fiscal
year
2024
investment
in
new
positions
is
just
below
the
trailing
average
between
fiscal
year
2017
through
fiscal
year,
2024..
So
again,
a
return
to
normal
and
that's
a
a
theme
you'll
see
in
various
places.
Throughout
the
fiscal
year,
24
proposed
budget.
E
As
we
look
at
the
various
Investments
that
are
included
in
the
proposed
budget,
I
wanted
to
highlight
some
of
the
tools
that
enabled
those
Investments
to
to
be
possible.
First
carryover
funding
from
fiscal
year
2023.
This
is
a
continuation
of
a
strategy
that
we've
employed
the
last
few
years,
whereby
we
early
recognize
plan
savings
from
the
current
fiscal
year
and
proactively
allocate
those
as
part
of
the
upcoming
fiscal
year.
So
there's
approximately
6.6
million
dollars
allocated
in
fiscal
year,
2024
from
FY
23
unallocated
funds.
E
There
was
a
modified
approach
to
funding
vacancies
included
as
part
of
this
budget.
We
have
continued
to
see
very
high
vacancy
levels
and,
while
you
know
there
may
be
signs
of
that,
improving
most
recent
data
indicates
we're
still
hovering
around
that
10
percent
vacancy
level.
E
we've
looked
at
our
service
contracts
in
relation
to
our
Public
Safety
Services,
our
fire
service
contracts
that
we
provide
on
behalf
of
various
fire
protection
agencies,
our
police
contracts
for
BSU,
for
school
districts,
so
on
and
so
in
the
airport,
and
we
have
employed
a
cost
recovery
strategy
with
those
contracts
to
ensure
that
city
of
Boise
is
collecting
the
appropriate
amount
for
our
maintenance
and
operation
overall
maintenance
and
operation
budget,
which
is
another
way
of
saying
our
non-personnel
budget
within
the
general
fund.
E
We
have
done
some
continued
right
sizing
in
many
instances
we
held
the
line
and
we
had
no
growth,
and
then
we
also
had
a
1.5
percent
across
the
board
reduction
of
which
half
was
assumed
to
be
ongoing,
that
that
approach
resulted
in
savings
of
approximately
five
hundred
and
sixty
thousand
dollars
in
fiscal
year,
2024
280,
000
of
which
is
considered
ongoing.
E
The
budget
includes
the
elimination
of
what
we
called
an
off-cycle
Personnel
adjustment
funding
allocation,
that
allocation
allowed
departments
through
certain
approval
channels
to
make
changes
to
compensation
and
to
classifications
of
positions
within
again
certain
criteria
as
part
of
this
budget.
We
are,
we
have
recommended
the
elimination
of
that
bucket
and
we
are
pursuing
an
approach
whereby
we
include
those
items
in
the
annual
budget
going
forward.
E
E
Finally,
as
a
result
of
the
current
economic
climate,
Rising
interest
rates-
and
you
know,
savings
that
we're
saying
due
to
vacancies
and
other
other
factors-
we
have
relooked
at
our
interest,
earnings
estimates
and
it
have
included
higher
degree
of
Interest
earnings
in
fiscal
year,
2024.
E
foreign.
We
do
have
tools
at
our
disposal.
Should
we
see
the
economy,
you
know
result
in
a
recessionary
environment.
E
The
first
one
I'll
mention
is
the
unallocated
Opera
operating
contingency.
We
have
included
in
this
budget
500
000
for
that.
For
that
purpose,
we've
also
allocated
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
recommended
the
allocation
of
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
an
economic
uncertainty.
Reserve
both
of
those
items
could
be
used
for
unexpected
expenses
or
unanticipated
Revenue
reductions.
E
I'll
mention
that
we
retain
our
cash
flow
Reserve,
which
is
set
at
eight
percent
of
our
general
fund
budget,
and
we
have
that
available
to
respond
to
any
kind
of
recessionary.
Environment
vacancies
is
an
approach
that
is
always
available.
You
know
if
the
economy
were
to
take
a
turn,
we
could
look
to
hold
vacancies
in
the
future.
E
We
could
look
at
the
annual
transfer
into
our
Capital
fund
from
the
general
fund
and
we
could
also
pursue
holdbacks
on
discretionary
expenditures
again
if
the
situation
called
for
that
before
I
move
on
to
the
Citywide
summary,
maybe
I
can
pause
for
a
moment.
If
the
council
has
any
questions
on
overall
themes
and
approach.
F
Thanks
Eric
one
quick,
quick
clarification
on
the
economic
uncertainty
I'm
on
I'm
a
13.,
so
it
looks
like
the
unallocated
operating
contingency
fund
is
500
000,
but
then
you
mentioned
another
one.
Can
you
tell
us
what
those
combined
numbers
would
be
absolutely.
E
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Councilmember
Willits,
the
unallocated
operating
contingency
is
recommended
at
500
000
in
fiscal
year
2024,
as
is
the
economic
uncertainty,
so
in
total
there's
one
million
between
those
two.
E
A
There's
the
prices
rise
on
something
that
we're
working
on,
so
we
we've
always
held
that,
and
since
covid
we've
had
an
uncertainty
Reserve
just
because
you
know,
we've
been
up
and
down
economically
and
it's
hard
to
project
where
we'll
be,
and
so
it's
almost
like
having
like,
when
you
do
your
annual
budget,
you
just
set
a
site
in
case
you
have
expenses
that
you
don't
expect
related
to
this
topic,
so
they're
held
and
then
accounted
for
through
interim
budget
changes.
If
they're
used
got.
G
I
just
want
to
comment
that
I
appreciate
the
Clarity
of
having
Personnel
decisions
made
at
budget
time
rather
than
throughout
the
year.
I
know
that
that's
something
that
we've
worked
on
throughout
the
last
several
years
is
getting
that
kind
of
baked
in
at
the
beginning
of
the
year,
rather
than
dealing
with
it
in
one
Ops,
which
I
think
creates
a
little
bit
of
muddiness
and
less
Clarity.
So
thank
you.
E
Moving
on
to
a
city-wide
summary,
the
fiscal
year,
2024
proposed
budget
total
747.1
million
dollars
net
of
the
contingent
appropriation.
The
contingent
appropriation
is
available
to
support
re-budgets
unanticipated
grants,
things
of
that
nature,
and
typically,
we
will
utilize
that
contingent
appropriation
at
the
tail
end
of
the
calendar
year
when
re-budgets
and
carryover
encumbrances
are
approved
by
the
city
council.
E
So,
looking
at
focusing
on
that
747.1
million
dollars,
you
can
see
almost
half
of
it
is
allocated
towards
our
Enterprise
funds,
40
towards
general
fund
and
smaller
amounts
towards
the
capital
fund
and
our
other
funds,
a
brief
overview
of
of
what
what
is
entailed
or
what
is
included
within
each
of
those
categories.
The
general
fund
at
3.9
million
dollars
covers
operating
costs
associated
with
General
government
services,
think
things
like
police
fire
parks
and
Library.
E
The
primary
funding
source
for
the
general
fund
is
taxes,
property
tax
sales
tax.
We
also
have
included
in
their
things
like
interest,
earnings
or
departmental
revenue
and
liquor.
Tax
are
capital
funds
at
27.1
million
dollars
are
largely
to
support
infrastructure
projects,
major
equipment
and
major
repairs
and
maintenance
again
for
General
governmental
functions,
police
fire,
Parks
Library.
So
on
and
so
forth,
the
the
primary
funding
source
for
that
category
are
taxes.
E
We
do
an
annual
transfer
from
our
general
fund
to
the
capital
fund,
as
well
as
development
impact
fees,
Enterprise
funds
in
fiscal
year,
2024
total
just
under
370
million
dollars.
Within
our
Enterprise
funds.
We
account
for
operating
and
capital
costs
for
our
airport,
geothermal,
solid
waste
and
water
renewal
funds.
E
When
you
look
at
how
that
747.1
million
is
allocated,
you
can
see
three
slices
of
the
pie
that
are.
F
E
Pretty
close
in
in
proximity
to
one
another,
Personnel
represents
about
35
percent
of
our
overall
budget
that
would
cover
salary
and
benefit
costs
associated
with
permanent
and
temporary
City
positions.
E
Our
maintenance
and
operation
or
non-personnel
is
set
at
283
million
dollars
that
covers
things
like
supplies,
utilities,
insurance
contracts
for
services
transfers,
as
well
as
our
contingencies,
and
then
our
capital
and
Equipment
covers
infrastructure
projects.
Things
like
fire
stations,
Park
improvements,
vehicle
Replacements
airport
improvements,
water
renewal
facilities
and
the
like.
E
E
That
decline
is
attributable
to
lower
carryover
from
the
prior
year
and
higher
levels
of
one-time
funding
in
fiscal
year,
2023
primarily
attributable
to
the
American
Rescue
plan
funds.
E
Looking
at
the
overall
general
fund
Revenue,
approximately
60
percent
of
general
fund
revenues
are
derived
from
property
taxes.
That
60
percent
is
just
a
couple
of
tick
marks.
Higher
than
the
fiscal
year,
2023
amount
fiscal
year,
2023
property
tax
made
up
about
57
of
of
general
fund
revenues.
The
primary
difference
here
is
not
an
increase
in
property
tax,
but
more
so
a
decrease
in
some
of
the
other
categories.
E
Again
fiscal
year,
2023
included
a
higher
degree
of
carryover
funding
from
fiscal
year
2022,
as
well
as
significant
allocations
for
the
American
Rescue
plan.
Act
you
can
see
after
the
property
tax
at
60
percent.
Departmental
revenue
is
our
next
largest
category
at
12
overall
overall
revenues,
sales
tax
at
nine
and
development
fees
at
five
percent.
E
There
is
a
comprehensive
overview
of
each
Revenue
category
included
in
the
budget
document
where
we
go
through
themes,
approaches
and
Trends
in
the
development
of
each
of
the
revenue.
Estimates
included
on
this
slide.
E
The
growth
in
property
tax
for
fiscal
year
2024
is
attributable
to
two
things
this
year
and
that's
the
case.
Every
year,
it's
attributable
to
any
base
increase
that
the
city
council
might
approve,
as
well
as
new
construction,
which
results
in
new
payers
so
included
in
the
fiscal
year
of
2024.
Proposed
budget
is
a
two
percent
base
increase
again
less
than
the
three
percent
maximum
and
a
1.1,
the
equivalent
of
1.1
percent
growth
for
that
new
construction
overall
Excuse
Me
overall
average
growth
of
1.86
percent
since
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic.
E
When
we
look
at
the
base
growth
now
that
correlates
to
7.5
million
in
Total
Property
Tax
relief,
which
is
ongoing.
E
I
mentioned
at
the
beginning
of
this
presentation
that
the
budget
includes
funding
for
the
property
tax
rebate.
Again,
this
is
the
second
year.
This
would
represent
a
total
of
2.4
million
dollars
over
the
two-year
term
of
this
program.
E
There
is
no
use
of
foregone
property
taxes
included
within
this
budget.
The
growth
is
well
below
the
eight
percent
cap
that
was
established
by
the
state
in
calendar
year
2021.,
the
average
homeowner
is
expected
to
see
property
tax
reductions
on
their
bills.
That
will
go
out
in
November
of
2023.,
so
we
do
expect
a
favorable
condition
for
residential
property
taxpayers.
There
are
numerous
things
that
caused
those
reductions
to
to
be
forecasted.
First
is
assessment
trends.
E
We
are
seeing
residential
property
values
decreasing,
while
commercial
properties
are
increasing,
which
is
not
a
trend
that
we
have
seen
in
recent
history.
The
city
budgeting
approach
again
of
taking
less
than
the
maximum
growth
is
a
positive
factor,
as
are
the
unquantified
impacts
from
house
bill.
292.
E
E
Okay,
looking
at
the
Levy
rate
and
the
taxable
value
history,
those
two
things
are
highly
correlated.
The
levy
rate
tends
to
go
down
when
property
values
are
increasing
and
go
up
when
property
values
are
decreasing.
So
you
can
see
on
this
Slide.
The
levy
rate,
which
is
represented
on
Blue
in
the
on
the
blue
line,
has
been
going
down
in
recent
years,
while
the
taxable
value
has
been
going
up
at
the
far
right
hand
side
of
this
slide.
E
You
can
see
that
for
the
first
time
really
over
the
last
10
years,
we
are
seeing
declines
in
taxable
value,
with
a
slight
increase
in
the
levy
rate.
I'll
go
over
in
just
a
moment
what
that
means
for
the
average
priced
home,
but
before
I
do
that.
Let
me
just
look
at
this
is
analysis
we've
shown
in
Prior
years,
which
shows
the
average
residential
property
within
city
limits,
and
you
can
see
that
in
fiscal
year
2016
the
blue
line
on
that
graph.
E
If
you
follow
that
line
to
the
right,
you
can
see
that
in
fiscal
year
2024
we
expect
74
of
the
average
price
home
to
be
subject
to
property
tax.
So,
increasingly,
a
high
percentage
or
increasing
percentages
of
homes
are
subject
to
property
taxes.
E
This
is
you
know.
This
overall
trend
is
attributable
to
the
diminishing
value
of
the
homeowners
exemption
over
time,
as
well
as
the
trend
line
that
we've
seen
of
hiring
assessed,
increases
for
residential
for
versus
commercial,
with
this
being
the
first
year
in
in
recent
history
that
that
trend
has
been
reversed.
E
So
we'll
look
a
little
bit
at
the
average
homeowner
impact
this.
This
is
a
a
chart
that
the
council
is
very
familiar
with
that
we
show
each
year
you
can
see,
on
the
left
hand,
slide
left-hand
portion
of
this
slide.
We'll
go
through
the
assessed
value
of
of
each
home
and
what
the
impacts
would
be
if
three
percent
zero
percent
and
ultimately
the
two
percent
that
is
recommended
within
this
budget,
so
line
lines,
one
through
eight
represent
what
the
average
home
would
see.
E
If
the
city
were
to
have
elected
to
take
a
three
percent
increase
see
online
two.
You
can
see
the
assessed
value
for
that
average
priced
home
in
fiscal
year,
20
2023
or
that
should
be
tax
year
2023
fiscal
year
24.
E
is
seeing
a
decrease
of
13.8
percent.
When
you
see
the
homeowner's
exemption
being
fixed
at
125
000
online
for
the
taxable
value
of
that
average
priced
home
is
17.7
percent
less
than
fiscal
year.
2023.
E
The
overall
city
taxes
on
line
six,
if
the
city
were
to
have
elected,
a
three
percent
increase,
would
go
down
by
7.86
7.8
percent
at
approximately
125
reduction
lines.
8
through
14
represent
the
change
on
that
average
priced
home.
If
the
city
were
to
have
elected
a
zero
percent-
and
you
can
see
that
if
the
city
were
to
have
elected
a
zero
percent
on
line
14,
the
the
reduction
in
taxes
would
be
166
dollars.
E
So
really
Alliance
16
through
24,
represent,
what's
included
within
this
budget
on
line
22,
you
can
see
that
the
two
percent
increase
recommended
within
this
budget
is
expected
to
result
in
a
decrease
of
approximately
138
dollars
for
the
average
priced
home.
Saving
approximately
fourteen
dollars
as
compared
to
of
the
city,
were
to
take
the
the
full
increase
with
the
two
percent
increase,
costing
the
average
homeowner
approximately
28
on
an
annualized
basis.
E
So
again
favorable
conditions
for
property
taxes
on
the
average
homeowner.
The
decreases
in
assessed
value
for
Residential
Properties
paired
with
what
we're
seeing
are
increased
values
for
commercial
properties.
We're
seeing
the
burden
shift
be
the
impacts
of
Burden
shift,
be
lessened
a
little
bit
that
the
subsequent
slides
will
still
show
that
burden
shift
is
a
very
real
issue,
but
we
have
we
are
seeing
some
improvement
there
for
the
third
time
in
the
in
the
the
past
four
years.
E
E
Based
on
testimony
at
the
state
legislature,
when
House
Bill
292
was
being
debated,
we
could
see
the
average
home
could
see
reductions
as
much
as
20
percent,
with
at
least
within
fiscal
year
2024,
resulting
in
you
know,
for
at
least
for
the
average
price
home.
Approximately
three
hundred
dollars
of
savings.
E
So
again,
just
to
summarize
this
slide,
even
even
if
the
city
were
to
have
taken
the
max
increase,
you
would
have
seen
a
reduction
of
124
dollars
on
the
average
price
home
by
taking
two
percent
versus
the
three
percent
allowable
taxes
on
the
average
home
are
expected
to
go
down
by
approximately
140
dollars.
E
This
slide
right
here
shows
burden
shift
over
time
or
the
the
burden
of
property
taxes.
Over
time
and
again,
you
know,
looking
back
and
historically,
we
had
seen
the
residential
sector
of
the
community
taking
on
increasing
and
increasing
amounts
of
the
overall
share
of
property
taxes.
If
you
look
at
fiscal
year,
2000
residential
and
Commercial
basically
split
the
burden
50
50.
E
in
the
years
since
the
Great
Recession,
approximately
2010
2011,
we've
seen
commercial,
paying
less
and
less
of
the
overall
burden
of
property
taxes
with
residential
taking
on
more
and
more
last
year.
At
this
time,
we
were
looking
at
approximately
74
for
commercial
versus
26
for
residential
this
year.
With
the
trends
that
we're
seeing
in
assessments,
we
are
looking
at
67
for
residential
versus
approximately
33
percent
for
commercial.
E
Looking
at
kind
of
that
burden
shift
over
time,
this
slide
was
also
introduced
last
year.
As
part
of
the
workshop,
let
me
walk
through
what
what
the
story
this
slide
is
telling
us
so
on
the
bar
chart,
you
can
see
Gray,
the
gray
bars
represent
basically
a
baseline.
That
would
be
what
the
average
homeowner
was
paying
in
property
taxes
in
fiscal
year,
2013.
E
661
dollars
for
city
taxes,
the
green
and
the
peach
represent
the
so
the
green
represents
what
the
property
taxes
would
be.
The
incremental
increase
would
be
on
that
average
home
subsequent
to
fiscal
year
2013
if
they
tracked,
with
the
zero
to
three
percent
that
the
city
can
take
as
part
of
the
annual
budget
process.
So
you
can
see
in
fiscal
year
2024
the
city
took
a
three
percent
increase
that
year,
which
would
have
correlated
to
a
twenty
dollar
increase.
E
However,
there
was
a
94
dollar
increase
on
that
average
priced
home
twenty
dollars,
which
could
be
attributed
to
the
three
percent
increase
and
seventy
four
dollars,
which
would
be
attributable
to
burden
shift
the
residential
sector,
picking
up
more
versus
the
versus
the
commercial
sector.
E
That's
additive
over
time,
and
you
can
see
that
as
you
go
from
left
to
right
on
this
slide,
the
green
Grows
by
somewhere
between
zero
and
three
percent
each
year
and
the
peach
portion
grows
much
more
rapidly,
encouraging
that
in
fiscal
year
2024
the
peach
portion
is
less
than
it
was
in
fiscal
year.
2023.
E
However,
it
is
still,
you
know,
a
very
high
number
in
terms
of
the
amount
of
the
property
tax
burden
that
has
been
taken
on
by
the
residential
community
and
we'll
have
to
see
if
this
is.
This
is
a
trend
that
continues
over
time.
E
If
residential
continues
to
be
assessed
at
a
lower
increase
than
commercial,
it
very
well
may
be
something
that
we
see,
that
has
not
been
historically
the
trend.
We
have
seen
various
blips.
If
you
go
back,
you
know
20
years
where
you
might
see
commercial
increase
at
a
higher
rate
than
residential
on
a
one-off
basis
and
usually
the
following
year.
That
Trend
reverses
so
remains
to
be
seen.
E
If,
if
that
trend
line
will
continue,
but
you
can
see
here
that
since
fiscal
year
2013
the
taxes
on
the
average
home
have
increased
by
120
or
795
dollars,
73
of
that
is
due
to
burden
shift
that
burden
shift
again
due
to
the
diminishing
value
of
the
homeowner's
exemption
and
then
the
rate
of
increase
for
residential
versus
commercial
properties.
E
If
taxes
on
the
average
home
tracked
with
the
annual
budget
increase
of
anywhere
between
zero
and
three
percent
again
two
percent
for
this
upcoming
fiscal
year,
the
average
home
would
have
seen
a
lower
cumulative
increase
of
214
dollars
or
32
percent
over
that
time
period
and
absent
the
burden
shift
that
red
line
on
this
on
this
chart.
It
represents
where,
where
CPI
was
over
that
over
that
period,
and
you
can
see
that
had
property
taxes
increase
with
CPI
we'd
be
right
at
that
green
line.
Basically,
what
this?
E
C
Madam,
mayor
Eric
I
have
a
quick
question
about
this
slide
in
the
previous
slide.
So
if
you
can
go
back
one.
C
We
see
in
the
peach
section
that
the
numbers
it's
581
versus
417,
so
the
amount
attributable
to
burden
shift
paid
is
still
significantly
higher,
even
though
the
assessment
percentage
is
close
to
the
same,
and
my
question
is
that
because
of
the
homeowner's
exemption
like
you'd,
think
let
me
ask
it
in
a
better
way.
So
can
you
go
back
one
slide?
C
You
would
think
looking
at
the
yellow
line
here,
that
the
peach
bars
in
the
next
slide
for
2020,
2019
and
2020
would
be
the
same
this
year
as
they
were
in
2020,
2019
2020,
but
they're.
Not
it's
like
a
hundred
dollars
different.
Is
that
because
the
homeowner's
exemption
is
that,
is
that
why
those
numbers
don't
line
up.
E
Thank
you
for
that
question.
I
think,
there's
numerous
factors
for
that:
the
homeowner's
exemption,
certainly
being
one.
If
you
go
back
a
couple
of
years,
you
know
there
has
been
modest
increases
in
our
property
taxes
subsequent
to
there.
So
last
year
there
was
a
2.45
this
year,
the
two
percent,
so
that
will
also
have
an
effect
as.
I
E
C
Okay,
the
takeaway
point,
though
I
suppose
is
burden
shift,
is
still
real.
We
have
one
small
tick
in
the
right
direction.
This
year,
it's
pulled
us
back
to
2019
levels,
maybe
when
the
burden
shift
was
still
bad
and
we
shouldn't
probably
plan
on
this
problem
solving
itself.
E
Council,
member
of
agent,
I
I,
think
you
know
we
will
have
to
wait
and
see
and
and
see
if
the.
If
the
trend
continues,
we
historically
haven't
seen
that
continue.
You
know
over
a
protracted
period.
It
is
good
news
this
year
and
again
we'll
just
have
to
track
it
and
watch
it.
Thank
you
very
much.
E
This
is
a
slide
that
we
showed
last
year
that
illustrates
I
have
two
more
slides
on
on
burden
shift,
so
so
this
one
here
shows
the
property
tax
burden
shift
within
the
city
of
Boise,
for
for
the
average
home
and
the
average
home
is
represented
on
this
chart
in
green,
and
you
can
see-
and
this
is
cumulative
over
time-
the
the
property
taxes
for
city
taxes
on
that
average
priced
home.
E
Increasing
the
blue,
the
blue
represents
the
average
growth
in
city
of
Boise
property
tax
collection
since
fiscal
year
2012.,
whereas
the
yellow
and
red
represent
two
big
box.
Retailers
within
city
limits,
all
things
being
equal,
one
might
expect
to
see
property
taxes
for
any
taxpayer
to
track
equally
to
that
blue
line
or
to
that
to
that
blue
blue
section
in
the
chart.
However,
that's
not
what
we
see
we
see
due
to
homeowners
exemption
being
being
fixed
due
to
different
various
other
factors.
E
Madam
mayor,
thank
you
for
that
correction,
yes,
being
being
steady
at
the
125,
000
and
unchanging,
based
on
valuation
shifts,
you
see
different
properties,
paying
different
amounts
and
kind
of
wild
valuation
shifts.
E
E
with
the
valuation
changes
the
most
recent
valuation
data
that
we've
seen
from
the
Assessor,
those
two
big
box.
Retailers
are
going
to
be
slightly
slightly
different
one,
paying
just
a
little
bit
more
than
they
did
back
in
2013.,
one
still
slightly
less
than
they
were
in
fiscal
year.
2013.
E
you
can
see
the
green
again.
This
is
a
kind
of
a
similar
type
view
as
the
prior
slide,
where
there
is
an
improvement
still
high,
but
we
are
seeing
an
improvement
in
residential
property
tax
and,
as
it
comes
to
burden.
E
We
did
an
analysis.
This
is,
admittedly,
not
a
scientific
analysis,
but
we
wanted
to
test
whether
this
slide,
where
we
looked
at
two
properties,
held
true
across
the
city.
So
the
budget
office
didn't
analysis
where
we
looked
at
100
properties.
We
looked
at
100,
Residential
Properties
and
we
looked
at
100
Commercial
properties
and
we
we
wanted
to
find
properties
that
had
been
around
since
fiscal
year
or
since
tax
year
2000.
E
So
we
weren't
looking
at
newer
homes,
weren't
looking
at
newer
businesses,
but
we
wanted
to
find
you
know
properties
that
we
could
basically
correlate
to
that
other
other
line
chart
that
I
had
showed
and
we
wanted
to
see
if
if
that
story
was
consistent-
and
we
also
wanted
to
see
if
it
was
consistent
across
the
city
so
again,
admittedly,
this
is
not
a
scientific
study.
This
is
not
every
property
within
within
City
Limits,
but
we
looked
within
each
comprehensive
plan
planning
area
and
we
found
that
this
story
is
consistent.
E
If
you
look,
for
instance,
on
the
central
bench,
you
can
see
that
residential
property
in
residential
property
taxes
are
1.3
times
higher
than
commercial
property
taxes.
If
you.
E
1.3
times
the
rate
that
commercial
properties
have
increased,
you
can
see
that
across
across
the
entire
city
over
time
you
know
we,
we
might
look
to
expand
this
analysis.
But
again
we
wanted
to
test
whether
this
story
that
we're
seeing
on
the
big
box,
retailers
held
true,
and
it
did.
E
I'll
move
to
the
property
tax
rebate
program
council,
member
Holly,
Burton
I-
do
have
an
answer
to
that
question.
You
had
asked
before
I
go
into
detail.
The
average
benefit
that
was
realized
as
a
result
of
this
year's
program
is
approximately
650
dollars
for
those
eligible
for
that
program.
E
So
again,
this
budget
recommends
the
continuation
of
the
property
tax
rebate
program.
That
program
was
first
made
allowable
last
fiscal
year
due
to
House
Bill
550,
allowing
cities
to
provide
a
property
tax
rebate
in
fiscal
year.
2023
the
city
of
Boise
was
the
only
City
in
the
state
to
offer
this
program.
E
It
was
a
very
successful
rollout.
Therefore,
1.2
million
is
allocated
again
for
this
program.
E
The
Boise
residents
approved
for
the
circuit
breaker
program
are
eligible
to
participate
within
this
rebate
program.
The
parameters
of
the
rebate
program
must
be
outlined
in
an
ordinance
Council
approved
an
ordinance
last
fall
for
this.
Our
goal
is
to
update
that
ordinance
again
in
the
fall
for
next
fiscal
years
program.
E
Looking
at
foregone
property
taxes,
whenever
a
city
within
the
state
of
Idaho
elects
to
take
something
less
than
the
Max
Base
growth,
something
less
than
three
percent
cities.
Have
the
option
to
declare
the
difference
between
what
was
taken
and
what
was
untaken
as
foregone.
Basically
preserving
the
right
to.
J
E
E
The
city
council
does
have
the
option
to
declare
the
1.8
million
dollars
that
is
not
being
recommended
as
part
of
the
fiscal
year
2024
budget
as
foregone
our
current
foregone
balance
is
5.7
million.
It
would
be
7.5
million
upon
approval
of
that
1.8
million
in
Prior
fiscal
years.
When
the
city
council
has
approved
any
untaken
property
tax
amount
to
be
added
to
the
foregone
balance.
As
part
of
the
resolution,
it
has
included
language
that
any
foregone
amount
would
not
be
taken
in
a
recessionary
period.
E
Again,
there's
no
plans
to
utilize
that
foregone
balance.
However,
any
future
use
would
be
subject
to
restrictions
placed
on
foregone
use
that
were
replaced
by
the
state
legislature
in
2020-21
and
yeah,
declaring
that
amount
as
foregone
would
be
subject
to
a
public
hearing
which
would
be
scheduled
for
July
11th.
E
K
You
met
a
mayor
Eric.
What
could
you
speak
to
the
restrictions
placed
on
foregone
in
2021
and
then
also?
Is
there
a
time
limit
on
when
foregone
could
be
taken.
E
Yes
per
2021
legislation,
there's
a
max
amount
that
can
be
taken
in
any
fiscal
year,
which
is
one
percent,
so
the
city's
foregone
balance
includes
several
years
of
decisions
of
not
taking
up
to
three
percent.
So
in
the
first
year
after
covid,
the
city
took
zero
percent,
so
there
was
three
percent
built
into
that
foregone
balance.
E
Last
year
we
took
2.45
versus
the
three,
so
there
was
3.55
in
that
balance
and
an
additional
percent
would
be
added,
so
in
total
there
would
be
4.55
the
equivalent
of
4.55
percent
that
2021
legislation
preclude
cities
from
taking
anything
above
and
beyond
one
percent
in
any
given
fiscal
year,
so
as
to
avoid
shock
to
the
to
any
taxpayers.
E
So,
moving
on
from
property,
tax,
I'll
I'll
focus
on
sales
tax.
For
just
a
moment,
the
fiscal
year
2024
proposed
budget
for
sales
tax
is
recommended
at
26.6
million
dollars.
That
rev
represents
a
one
percent
annual
growth
rate,
as
well
as
the
previously
unbudgeted
growth
from
fiscal
year,
2022.
E
foreign,
we
have
seen
State
Statewide
sales
collections,
begin
to
moderate
a
little
bit,
albeit
still
remaining
in
positive
territory.
E
One
thing
I'll
mention
on
sales
tax
is
that
our
fiscal
year,
2024
proposed
estimate
reflects
the
impacts
of
house
bill.
292.,
House,
Bill
292
redirected
online
sales
tax
that
was
previously
forecasted
to
be
returned
to
municipalities,
to
support
a
portion
of
the
property
tax
growth
so
that
sales
tax
growth
is
no
longer
included
within
the
city's
sales
tax
estimates
or
within
our
forecast
again,
as
it's
being
used
to
support
a
portion
of
house
bill.
292.
E
Development
fees
is
one
of
our
more
economically
sensitive
categories
in
fiscal
year
2024.
The
recommended
budget
estimate
is
14.9
million
dollars
for
base
activities.
That
would
be
effectively
flat
from
the
fiscal
year
2023
budget.
There
is
an
additional
1.1
million
dollars
included
in
part
of
our
development
fees,
estimate
that
is
attributable
to
Micron
related
projects
outer
ear
growth
within
development
fees
is
highly
correlated
to
Micron
development
and
I
will
mention
within
this
category.
There
are
expenditure
offsets.
E
This
category
is
not
available
for
General
city-wide
use
it's
available
to
support
the
costs
provided
by
our
Public
Works
planning
and
development
services
and
fire
departments
for
various
plan
review
and
inspection
services.
E
Within
our
overall
general
fund
Revenue
estimate,
you
can
see
that
over
half
of
our
departmental
revenues
are
associated
with
Public
Safety
contracts,
so
services
that
our
police
department
and
our
fire
department
provide
on
behalf
of
other
jurisdictions
via
reimbursement
agreements,
represent
53
percent.
Of
that
Revenue
estimate.
E
The
overwhelming
majority
of
of
the
other
47
percent
is
attributable
to
Parks
and
Recreation
services.
You
can
see
Zoo
Idaho
ice,
World,
Golf,
Cemetery,
Aquatics
and
others,
and
again,
as
with
development
services,
there
is
an
expenditure
offset
for
these.
Any
departmental
revenues
really
cover
a
portion
of
our
expenses
that
we
see
and
any
revenues
are
not
available
for
city-wide
use
the
fiscal
year
2023
budget
overall
for
Department
revenues
was
36.9.
E
Million,
4.4
million
dollar
year-over-year
increase
that
4.4
million
dollars
was
attributable
to
primarily
two
things:
one,
the
public
safety
service
contracts
now
reflecting
indirect
costs,
as
well
as
various
Parks
and
Recreation
items
to
reflect
higher
activity
levels
and
fee
increases
to
keep
up
with
costs.
E
E
E
Before
I
move
on
to
general
fund
expenses,
maybe
I
can
pause
if
the
council
might
have
any
questions.
E
Okay,
moving
on
to
general
fund
expenses,
you
can
see
that
just
over
two-thirds
of
overall
general
fund
expenditures
are
dedicated
towards
Personnel,
so
our
people,
our
next
category,
is
mno
and
major
equipment.
At
19,
very
small
portions
represent
representing
contingency
VRT
at
four
percent
and
transfers
at
six
percent.
That
VRT
at
four
percent
is
of
the
overall
general
fund
budget.
E
When
we
look
at
how
that
70
percent
or
our
Personnel
allocation
is
divided
amongst
various
categories,
just
under
60
of
that
is
dedicated
towards
salaries,
retirement
and
post-employment
costs
representing
15
Health
at
18
in
various
other
categories,
including
overtime,
one-time
compensation
and
temporary
wages,
just
under
just
under
10
in
total
foreign
budget,
does
recommend
some
compensation
adjustments
for
our
general
employees.
E
The
goals
of
those
of
those
adjustments
were
to
really
retain
the
The
Talented
team,
to
preserve
Market
alignment
and
to
maintain
employees
buying
Power
Within
These,
challenging
Economic
Times.
E
E
That
strategy
outlined
on
the
right
hand,
side
of
the
slide
again
is
only
for
our
general
employees
for
our
police
and
fire
employees
whose
compensation
is
set
by
contract.
Those
terms
are
not
applicable.
Their
compensation
is
again
set
by
by
contract,
which
was
very
recently
approved
by
the
city
council.
E
G
L
E
As
we
look
at
our
maintenance
and
operation
expenditures
across
the
organization
within
the
general
fund,
you
can
see
there's
various
categories,
how
that's
allocated
the
largest
slice
of
that
pie
being
professional
and
service
contracts
at
just
under
30
percent
supplies
and
equipment,
17
and
software
maintenance
at
13.
E
As
the
three
largest
categories
I
mean
it's
an
operation
also
includes
things
like
Insurance
fuel
rents
and
leases,
and
our
contribution
towards
Idaho
Humane
Society,
as
we
look
at
excuse
me
as
we
look
at
general
fund
expenditures
by
Department
just
over
just
over
50
percent
of
our
overall
general
fund,
is,
is
dedicated
towards
Public,
Safety,
police
and
fire
and
police
accountability.
E
The
next
largest
slices
of
the
pie
include
Parks
library
and
arts
and
history
at
16,
just
just
under
16
percent.
Some
of
our
service
departments,
DFA
hrit
and
legal
at
16.6
percent
I,
will
mention
when
I
when
I
look
at
those
departments.
There
are
internal
functions
that
reside
within
those
within
those
departments.
There
are
also
numerous
external
functions
that
are
included
within
those
internal
service
departments.
E
As
we
look
at
excuse
me,
as
we
look
at
position,
editions
included
as
part
of
the
fy24
budget,
the
chart
or
the
table
on
the
left
hand
slide
is
included
within
the
budget
document.
There
are
26.7
FTE
within
the
general
fund
recommended
as
part
of
this
budget.
There
is
an
additional
27
FTE
within
our
various
Enterprise
funds,
included
as
part
of
this
budget.
That
26.7
FTE
within
the
general
fund
is
demonstrated
within
the
pie
chart
on
the
right
hand,
side
12
of
those
26.7
FTE
are
dedicated
towards
our
Public
Safety
departments.
E
Five
and
a
half
of
those
FTE
are
cost
neutral
for
things
like
Parks
and
Recreation
services
and
parking
compliance,
two
FTE
associated
with
the
modern
zoning
code,
13
13
or
three
three
and
a
half
FTE
for
our
support,
support
departments,
the
one
and
a
half
FTE
to
support
the
city
council
and
then
2.25
FTE
for
various
other
purposes.
You
can
see
on
this
slide
really.
The
primary
focus
of
positions
included
as
part
of
this
proposed
package
were
externally
facing.
A
All
right
and
I'll
just
remind
Council
that
that
three
and
fire
is
to
add
four
person
Staffing
at
the
first
station
that
was
recommended
by
leadership,
and
then
we
intend
every
year
to
move
from
there.
E
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
and
and
just
one
follow-up
question:
councilmember
woodings
regarding
police
fire
compensation.
L
The
recommended
Capital
fund
budget
for
2024
is
27
million
dollars,
over
half
of
which
is
for
major
equipment
and
major
repairs
and
maintenance.
The
major
repairs
and
maintenance
budget
primarily
reflects
deferred
maintenance
at
the
downtown
library,
as
well
as
investments
in
parks
and
recreation.
L
On
the
meq
front,
the
majority
is
for
Public
Safety
Vehicles,
both
police
and
fire
there's
also
a
million
dollars
for
it
equipment
needs
and
also
for
park
and
rec.
So
another
million
dollars
for
that
on
the
capital
project
front
over
two-thirds
of
the
recommended
12.2
million
of
overall
Capital
Project
funding
would
be
for
the
city
facility
at
Warm
Springs,
which
had
the
first
million
dollars
approved
as
part
of
an
IBC
I
think
two
months
ago.
L
In
addition
to
that
that
City
facility
there's
numerous
planning
dollars
set
aside
and
the
recommended
2024
budget,
including
planning
for
police
technology
improvements,
future
Pathways
enhancements
to
8th
Street,
as
well
as
back
to
Eric's
point
on
the
four-person
Staffing
design
studies
for
station
remodels
to
accommodate
that
four-person
Staffing.
L
Just
I
wanted
to
include
this
slide
just
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
historical
context,
because
you
know
in
the
budget
book
I
talk
about
a
you
know,
a
basically
a
two-thirds
reduction
in
the
capital
budget
this
year.
But
I
wanted
to
include
this
for
context
to
show
that
we're
really
it's
really
just
a
return
to
normal
and
that
last
year
was,
although
they
were
all
planned
projects,
it
was
just
unique
that
they
all
hit
in
the
same
year.
So
we
had
an
abnormal
number
of
fire
engines.
L
You
know
it
was
just
oh
and
the
13.5
million
of
a
transfer
to
the
housing
fund
that
represented
future
program
amounts
for
affordable
housing
that
we
had
set
aside
in
the
capital
fund,
but
we
accelerated
all
that
into
that
transfer
last
year.
So
again.
Hence
you
know,
as
you
can
see,
the
the
very
high
level
of
funding
last
year
and
this
year
is,
as
was
it
kind
of
the
theme
and
excuse
me
in
the
in
the
general
fund,
section
kind
of
return
to
normal
foreign
to
the
revenue
side.
L
L
Historically,
it's
been
around
13
million
dollars
that
was
reduced
last
year
due
to
police
tasers,
as
well
as
major
repairs
and
maintenance
investment
for
the
housing
stock
for
our
housing
team,
and
so
because
of
that
it
reduced
the
ongoing
base
transfer
to
12
and
a
half
this
year
in
the
recommended
budget,
it's
recommended
to
bring
that
back
to
13
million
both
for
fiscal
24
and
25,
and
then
increase
it
to
13.5
million
thereafter.
L
In
addition
to
the
general
plan,
transfers,
there's
roughly
three
and
a
half
million
for
electric
franchise
fees,
which
is
in
line
with
historic
revenues
in
that
category,
there's
also
a
two
million
dollar
donation
that
we'll
talk
about
more
later,
one
million
of
interest
income
and,
as
Eric
noted
in
the
general
funds
section,
that's
increased
due
to
the
interest
rate
environment
as
well
as
increased
fund
balance
and
then
finally,
there's
350
Grand
from
cdbg
funding
for
the
restroom
and
CW
Moore
Park.
L
So
the
creation
of
this
five
and
a
half
million
dollar
Reserve
results
in
effectively
no
kind
of
Freer,
otherwise
unprogrammed
fund
balance
at
the
end
of
2028,
but
I
would
also
note
that
we
anticipate
that
one-time
savings
that
we
recognize
or
that
we
find
going
forward,
could
be
used
to
supplement
the
facility
Reserve
and
kind
of
the
purpose
of
setting
up
the
facility
Reserve,
rather
than
just
having
five
and
a
half
million
dollars
sit
in
an
unrestricted
fund
balance.
L
It's
kind
of
force
future
trade-off
discussions,
as
opposed
to
just
taking
money
from
fund
balance.
Now
we're
taking
money
from
this
facility
Reserve,
so
it
forces
a
better
conversation
on
you
know:
what
are
we
getting
and
what
are
we
giving
up
for
you
know
new
projects
or
cost
overruns
on
existing
projects
that
Sean
Wilson
will
actually
talk
about
in
a
little
bit
in
terms
of
the
cost
escalation.
L
L
So,
for
example,
the
2023
ending
balance
would
be
about
seven
million
dollars
higher,
if
not
for
advanced
funding
for
fire
station
13.,
but
that
also
gives
a
a
lever
that
we
have
in
future
years.
So
if
we
were
running
lower
on
fund
balance
than
we
had
projected,
you
know
it.
We
would
not
Advance
money
for,
let's
say
a
new
park,
for
example,
if
we
needed
to
cover
other
items
in
the
capital
fund.
F
L
L
In
addition
to
being
a
return
to
normal
is
there's
a
lot
of
planning
dollars
and
so
planning,
for
you
know:
potential
fire
station
remodels,
there's
also
planning
not
set
aside
in
the
capital
fund,
but
planning
for
police
staffing
needs
and
that
relates
to
police
facility
needs
and
then
there's.
There
is
back
in
the
capital
fund,
ongoing
planning
dollars
for
the
downtown
or
for
the
library
system
overall
and
so
again,
without
knowing
what
those
plans
are
going
to
generate.
It's
just
setting
aside
money
because
we
know
there's
going
to
be
a
significant
need.
There.
A
I'm
I'll
try
to
clarify
it
in
like
regular
people
terms
for
my
own
I
want
to
repeat
back
so
I'm.
Sure
too,
the
capital
fund
is
where
this
the
money
is
stored
for
capital
projects.
So
this
is
reflective
of
the
projects
that
have
been
listed
and
approved
on
our
Capital
Improvement
plan
and
shows
you
know
once
they
begin
to
be
completed
where
we
are
and
that
Reserve
piece
is
reflective
of
funds
that
have
been
set
aside
for
Hillcrest
library
that
were
set
aside
quite
a
while
ago.
A
I
think
that's
you
know
at
one
point:
I
think
it
was
maybe
1.8
million
dollars.
Some
other
future
needs
that
have
been
presented
by
police
and
fire,
for
example,
but
and
then
over
time
throughout
the
years
when
we
have
funds,
we
put
them
into
the
capital
fund
to
then
be
able
to
cover
whatever
else
is
planned
for.
A
L
L
That's
also
true,
sorry,
just
to
elaborate
a
little
bit
more.
That's
also
true
for
other
planned
projects.
So,
for
example,
there's
funding
set
aside
for
for
pools
for
Lowell
and
South
again
orange
bar
is
not
yellow
bar.
A
And
part
of
the
when,
when
he
mentioned
the
library
in
the
yellow
bar,
that
is
recognition
that
the
library
is
has
just
done
a
program
related
strategic
plan
and
they
will
move
into
a
facilities
plan,
and
so
we've
held
some
money
there
in
reserves
and
then
every
year,
as
we
have
a
better
sense
of
what
our
one-time
funding
looks
like
at
the
end
of
the
year
Etc,
then
we
start
to
replenish
this
again,
not
replenish,
but
we
add
to
it.
A
K
Mayor
can
I
get
some
clarity
on
the
11.5
million
for
repairs
for
the
downtown
library.
That's
planned
or
budgeted,
or
could
you
what
fiscal
year
are
we
anticipating
those
expenses?
That's.
L
Yes,
through
24,
it's
approximately
seven
and
a
half
I
believe
seven
and
a
half
or
eight
it's
been
planned,
either
in
24
or
prior
to
that
to
deal
with
the
Deferred
maintenance
downtown.
There's
additional
funding
set
aside.
L
The
next
big
amount
is
I
believe
it's
3.7
million
in
fiscal
26
to
kind
of
do
some
more
of
the
larger
Building
Systems
and
you
know
like
kind
of
cite
work
such
as
parking
lot,
repairs
things
like
that,
but
the
total
over
the
the
total
deferred
maintenance
that
we
expect
to
spend
is
eleven
and
a
half
million
dollars.
L
L
On
major
equipment,
the
recommended
budget
is
six
and
a
half
million
dollars
in
fiscal
2024,
as
is
the
was
the
case
with
the
general
fund,
the
overall
Capital
fund
down
significantly
from
the
last
couple
years,
but
in
line
with
historical
trends,
you
know
I
think
one
of
the
one
of
the
big
things
last
year
was
we
had
four
fire
engines
and
a
unusually
large
number
of
police
vehicles
that
needed
to
be
replaced
so
that
drove
up
last
year's
meq
budget
the
year
before
that
in
22
there
was
2.2
million
for
police
technology
equipment,
handheld
radios
in
vehicle
technology
equipment.
L
L
On
the
major
repairs
and
maintenance
front,
the
bar
chart
on
the
on
the
left
is
there
to
demonstrate
that
we're
continuing
to
invest
more
in
major
repairs
and
maintenance,
because
investing
in
major
repairs
and
maintenance
can
avoid
more
costly
repairs
and
or
outright
Replacements
down
the
road.
So
that's
a
good
use
of
current
funding,
specifically
the
24
proposed
budget
includes
3.7
million
to
address
deferred
maintenance
of
the
downtown
library,
an
additional
2.8
million
for
Parks,
which
includes
funding
for
a
new
bathroom
at
the
Rose
skate
park.
L
Other
things
like
pool
repairs
at
the
natatorium
playground,
equipment
at
Hewitt,
Park
and
roof
repairs
at
the
Morris
Hills
mausoleum,
Beyond,
Parks,
there's
also
1.7
million
program
for
Public
Works,
which
primarily
reflects
maintenance
needs
at
City,
Hall
and
City
Hall
West
things
like
HVAC
systems,
roof,
repair
and
Replacements
things
of
that
nature,
and
then
there's
also
145
000
for
arts
and
history,
and
that's
up
substantially
from
the
ninety
thousand
dollars
in
the
23
budget.
L
L
As
a
result
of
you
know
this
lower
funding
and
the
fewer
number
of
projects
the
in
2024,
we
anticipate
that
staff
will
be
focused
on
largely
three
items
and
and
the
first
is
working
on
projects
that
were
approved
in
that
larger
budget
in
2023.
L
The
other
major
theme
for
24
will
be
planning,
as
I
mentioned,
before,
there's
planning
dollars
set
aside
for
in
the
2024
budget.
For
future.
You
know:
Erp
system
replacement,
new
pathways,
four-person
Staffing
at
certain
fire
stations,
improvements
to
8th
Street
police,
Information,
Technology
systems
and
Library
System
needs.
So
a
lot
of
planning
money
has
been
set
aside
in
the
2024
budget.
L
L
Finally,
turning
a
little
bit
away
from
the
capital
fund,
in
particular
development
impact
fees,
as
I
alluded
to
when
we
were
talking
about
the
fund
balance,
is
a
primary
funding
source
for
the
capital
fund
and
what
we've
done,
starting
with
when
we
adopted
the
the
new
impact
be
plan
in
last
year
in
in
the
spring,
we've
done
annual
inflationary
adjustments,
which
we've
been
doing
for
years.
L
But
the
new
thing
that
we
started
doing
was
tying
them
this
to
this
building
cost
index
by
the
engineering
News
Record,
and
we
just
felt
that
that
was
a
better
reflection
of
the
actual
cost
that
we
were
seeing
as
well
as
it
was
recommended
by
our
impact
fee.
L
Consultants
used
by
a
lot
of
other
governments
throughout
the
throughout
the
state
and
the
Treasure
Valley
in
particular-
and
you
know,
as
you
can
see
here
in
the
2010s,
the
inflation
was
relatively
constant
at
around
two
and
a
half
percent
that
started
to
go
up
in
2020
and
then
the
recommended
impact
fee
increase
for
fiscal
23,
which
reflected
the
calendar
year.
21
increase
where
inflation
was
13.1
percent.
This
year,
effective
October
1st
were
recommended
and
recommending
a
9.4
percent
increase
which
reflects
the
inflation
seen
in
calendar
year
2022.
L
and
then
the
last
data
point
on
there
is
just
in
June
we're
kind
of
back
to
that
10-year
average
that
we
had
in
the
2010s
whether
or
not
that's
an
anomaly
or
a
truly
a
return
to
normal,
we'll
see
I.
You
know
one
data
point
is
not
a
trend
make,
but
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that
Sean
Wilson's
here
to
kind
of
address
some
of
the
inflation
pressures
on
City
projects.
J
Mayor
council
members
just
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
machine,
with
construction
escalation
and
before
I
start
just
want
to
apologize
for
the
construction
place
that
we
had
earlier
in
the
meeting.
That's
part
of
my
team,
so
it
remains
a
challenge
against
like
across
all
construction
types,
we're
seeing
it
in
a
water
renewal
fund,
seen
it
at
the
airport,
seen
in
the
general
fund
an
entirely
variable
depending
on
the
construction
type.
One
thing
we
are
noticing
there's
still
supply
chain
issues,
but
there's
not
as
much
so
past.
J
Couple
years
we've
been
seeing
like
maybe
50
70
of
the
trades
have
been
having
problems
and
now
it's
down
to
10
or
20
percent.
So
it's
starting
to
stabilize
quite
a
bit.
The
other
part
is
there's
sort
of
this
cumulative
changes.
So
we
had
two
years
of
very
high
escalation.
That
Travis
just
talked
about
see
what
she
has
a
big
impacts.
We're
trying
to
work
through
so
I
pulled
this.
J
This
data
from
Bureau
Labor
Statistics,
so
BLS
produces
producer
price
index
for
final
product,
and
this
particular
one
is
a
a
school.
What
does
it
cost
to
build
a
school
in
the
U.S
and
what
did
it
cost
you
know
historically,
and
the
school
is
very
similar
to
some
of
our
Municipal
construction,
like
fire
stations,
libraries,
that
sort
of
thing
and
all
of
what
they
published
is
about
a
30
compounding
increase
the
past
two
years,
so
quite
a
quite
a
significant
impact
that
we're
trying
to
manage
so
mitigation
and
navigation.
J
We're
doing
a
lot
of
strategies
to
try
to
figure
out
how
to
manage
how
much
escalation
they've
been
so
anything
that
was
programmed
prior
to
2021,
we're
re-looking
at
it,
and
updating
the
estimates
seeing
where
it's
at
more
due
diligence.
So
we're
engaging
a
lot
more
experts
in
the
current
projects
to
make
sure
we
get
really
good
pricing.
J
Putting
a
lot
more
pressure
on
our
design
teams
to
design
the
budget
cut
scope
do
what
we
can
and
prioritizing.
So
if
we
need
to
invest
in
certain
areas
and
not
others,
that's
the
direction
we
had
so
very
brief.
But
if
there's
any
questions
on
escalation,.
G
Any
questions
for
Sean
Sean
I
had
one
and
I
think
that
you're
the
right
person
to
ask
so
on
the
library
we
have
quite
a
bit
of
money
that
we're
allocating
toward
just
kind
of
repair
upkeep
on
the
main
library
have
those
all
been
evaluated
for
being
like
the
absolute
necessary
things.
We
must
do
to
keep
it
operational
in
light
of
undergoing
a
big
facilities,
planning,
process
and
changes
that
could
come
in
out
years.
Can
you
kind
of
give
a
little
bit
of
flavor
to
that
yeah.
J
Mayor
council,
member,
yes
to
all
of
that,
so
just
most
of
all
the
Investments
right
now
are
just
keep
the
building
running
for
another
at
least
10
years.
Joseph,
Jessica
and
I
worked
kind
of
that
out.
So
nothing
there's
nothing
I,
guess
outside
of
just
keeping
it
running
for
10
years.
Besides
we're
also
doing
summer
modeling
and
trying
to
maximize
some
public.
I
J
H
Think
that
that's
one
of
the
things
that
I've
noticed
during
during
the
the
board
meetings
that
I'm
delays
on
to
is
that
their
staff
has
been
operating
in
a
building
that
hasn't
been
fully
functional
for
several
several
years
and
there
weren't
a
lot
of
Investments
that
were
put
into
that
building,
because
we
didn't
know
what
was
going
to
happen
with
it,
and
so
now
we're
getting
the
building
not
only
like
just
the
bare
bones
running,
but
also
operational
for
the
programs.
H
That
Steph
is
trying
to
do
at
the
same
time
and
I
think
that
that's
also
related
to
even
staff
retention.
You
know
trying
to
do
a
job
in
a
space
that
doesn't
have
the
necessary
facilities
to
actually
do
the
job
is
difficult
too.
So
it's
kind
of
a
double
thing
there.
That
I
think
is
really
important
to
note.
E
Thank
you
Sean.
The
last
section
before
we
move
on
to
kind
of
the
more
procedural
portions
are
fees
and
charges.
So
a
change
that's
been
included
as
part
of
the
fiscal
year.
2024
budget
is
that
we
have
represented
all
fees
within
the
budget
document
as
opposed
to
past
practice,
which
was
just
fees
that
are
recommended
to
be
changed.
E
This
change
was
basically
done
in
the
spirit
of
transparency
to
show
the
community
to
show
the
elected
officials.
All
of
the
various
fees
that
are
being
collected
I
will
mention
that
there
are
some
minor
exceptions
to
that
to
what
is
included
within
our
budget
document.
Certain
fees
which
are
included
in
ordinance
are
not
reflected
within
that
fees
and
charges
schedule.
Think
things
like
our
development
impact
fees.
There
is
a
separate
process
to
update
those
fees.
E
It's
actually
a
concurrent
process
to
the
budget
process,
but
what
is
included
in
the
budget
document
are
all
fees
and
charges
that
are
eligible
to
be
updated
via
resolution
So,
within
that
1
530
fees
that
are
included
within
the
budget
document,
just
under
half
of
them
are
recommended
to
be
increased.
E
Just
under
half
are
recommended
to
be
unchanged,
there
are
four
percent
or
four
percent
of
the
total
fees
are
are
new.
There
are
23
fees
that
are
recommended
to
be
eliminated,
and
just
a
very
small
handful
recommended
to
be
decreased.
E
I
did
mention
that
there
are
certain
fees
not
outlined
in
the
fee
schedule,
those
that
are
updated
via
ordinance.
The
other
caveat
to
that
is
there
are
certain
fees,
particularly
within
planning
and
development
services.
They're
valuation
based
and
displayed
in
Separate
Tables.
E
Any
fees
that
are
increasing
by
greater
than
five
percent
or
fees
that
are
new,
are
subject
to
a
public
hearing
that
public
hearing
is
scheduled
for
July
11th
and
the
fees
would
would
need
to
be
approved
via
a
resolution
per
state
code.
Any
fees
that
are
established
by
municipality
must
not
exceed
the
cost
of
the
service
being
rendered.
The
majority
of
the
proposed
increases
are
to
keep
up
with
cost
increases
within
the
general
fund.
E
I'll
mention
again
that
scholarship
funding
remains
in
place
for
our
Parks
and
Recreation
programs
associated
with
our
youth.
Certain
fees
are
recommended
to
be
adjusted
higher
than
you
know.
The
the
cost
of
fiscal
year
24
increases
due
to
several
years
of
them
not
being
updated
and
I'll
mention
it
for
planning
and
development
services.
Changes
are
not
recommended
as
part
of
this.
This
budget
process,
as
funding
is
included.
E
As
we
look
outside
of
the
general
fund
within
our
water
renewal
fund,
there
is
a
9.9
percent
recommended
increase
for
commercial
versus
7.5
percent
increase
for
residential
payers
within
Solid
Waste.
There
is
a
4.9
recommended
increase
to
cover
increasing
costs.
Also,
a
4.9
percent
recommended
increase,
in
geothermal
to
account
for
increasing
costs
and
to
allow
for
reinvestment.
In
some
of
our
aging
infrastructure.
E
Travis
went
through
our
development
impact
fees.
A
9.4
percent
increase
is
proposed
again
in
a
concurrent
process,
not
included
within
our
budget
document,
but
that
9.4
percent
recommended
to
keep
Pace
with
the
growth
and
project
costs
that
9.4
percent
increase
was
presented
and
approved
by
our
development
impact
fee
advisory
committee,
and
there
would
be
a
separate
public
hearing
on
July
11th
for
the
for
those
increases
to
be
approved.
E
In
terms
of
next
steps,
you
know
I
think
what
we
need
for
today
is
to
advance
the
budget
process
to
the
next
stage,
which
would
be
the
July
11th
public
hearing
in
order
to
do
that,
we'd
be
looking
for
city
council
approval
or
any
amendments
to
what's
presented
as
part
of
the
fiscal
year
24
budget,
so
we
can
pursue
the
the
requisite
noticing.
E
A
And
we've
got
about
I
think
it's
25-ish
minutes
till
the
photo
appointment
if
I'm
correct,
and
so,
if
there,
if
we'll
get
through
as
many
questions
we
can,
if
there
are
more
we'll
hold
them
and
come
back
with
answers
too,
go
ahead.
That's
just
not
for
you,
but
just
for
everybody,
just
kind
of
know
what
I'm
thinking
Logistics
wise
I.
K
Doug,
first
of
all,
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
your
promptness
and
your
thoroughness
and
my
repeated
inquiries
about
what's
going
on
at
parks,
and
so
thank
you
for
that.
But
I
just
wanted
to
just
get
on
the
record
and
about
what's
exactly
in
this
budget
related
to
two
developments
in
my
neighborhood
Spalding
Ranch
in
The,
Goddard,
linear
Park.
What's
in
this
budget,
what
do
we
What
expenses
related
to
those
Park?
M
A
M
Absolutely
thank
you,
madam
mayor,
for
clarifying
that.
So
this
fiscal
year
we
have
just
under
1.7
million
I,
believe
it's
1.685
to
be
exact
remaining
in
that
impact
fee
account
and
the
projects
we
are
undertaking
this
year
would
be
to
establish
the
roadway
through
the
ranch.
So
this
is
a
roadway
that
will
get
us
from
one
end
of
the
20
acre
piece
to
the
other
end.
Pretty
important
piece,
also
completing
the
irrigation
system
throughout
the
entire
throughout
the
entire
Ranch.
M
So
both
of
those
projects
are
pretty
important
for
us
to
get
our
crops
in
the
ground
which
we
are
anticipating
that
happening
in
fiscal
year,
2024
so
next
summer,
we're
hoping
to
be
working
with
our
stakeholders
to
actually
have
various
crops
in
the
ground
at
that
location,
so
the
irrigation
and
and
roadway
is
very
important.
We're
also
hopeful
to
create
in
our
master
plan,
we
have
a
gravel
pathway
that
also
follows
the
road
and
also
a
concrete
sidewalk
that
goes
from
the
existing
house
out
to
the
property.
M
So
our
hope
is
in
that
1.685
we'll
have
enough
funding
there
to
get
all
of
that
done.
Fingers
crossed.
Of
course,
we
just
heard
from
Sean
Wilson
about
escalating
costs.
It
has
not
gone
out
to
bid
yet
we
anticipate
that
occurring
in
early
July
once
we
get
those
bids
in
for
those
pieces
of
that
project.
If
there's
anything
left
over,
we
want
to
apply
that
and
look
at
how
we
could
raise
some
additional
funding
to
also
do
the
restroom
at
that
location
as
well.
M
M
2023
we're
proposing
to
fund
that
linear
Park,
which
is
located
on
Goddard
Street
across
from
Capitol
High
School,
by
using
open
space
and
clean
water
Levy
funding
and
that
bid,
hopefully
for
the
Goddard
linear
Park,
will
go
out
again
pretty
similar
to
the
time
frame
with
Spalding
Ranch
sometime
early
July
and
then
we're
hopeful
to
go
to
the
open
space
at
clean
water
Committee
in
early
August.
To
ask
for
funding
to
go
ahead
and
complete
that
project
as
well.
Also,
we
believe,
we'll
be
breaking
ground
on
that
Park
sometime.
M
H
And
Mary
yes,
Eric's,
probably
not
for
you
Doug,
unless
anyone
has
any
more
questions
for
Doug.
M
M
H
Eric
I
just
had
one
question
so
on
our
on
our
budget
motion
sheet.
Here
we
have
Finance
Administration,
a
request,
I
think
for
2.45
ftes
and
then
in
the
budget
book
I'm.
Looking
at
60,
page
61.
H
I
see
changes
of
0.45
and
I'm
just
trying
to
make
sure
that
that
team
is
getting
the
additional
Staffing
that
they
need
and
my
concerns
in
the
question
that
I'm
the
reason
why
I'm
asking
this
is
I'm
thinking
a
lot
about
our
modern
zoning
code,
I'm
thinking
a
lot
about
Code,
Compliance
and
code
enforcement
and
wanting
to
make
sure
that
that
team
has
got
the
the
staff
that
they
need
to
be
able
to
address
any
sort
of
issues
that
might
grow
with
the
new
zoning
code.
H
E
That
America
councilmember
Holly
Burton.
Thank
you
for
the
question
in
regards
to
the
the
2.45
that
you're
seeing
within
the
Motions,
that's
representative
of
two
separate
Investments,
so
the
0.45
investment
that
you
saw
on
page
61,
as
well
as
on
page
63,
an
additional
to
to
FTE
associated
with
our
parking
program
as
it
relates
to
Staffing
for
the
zoning
code,
there
is
to
FTE
within
our
planning
and
development
services
department
that
are
included
to
be
funded
in
fiscal
year.
E
2024
anticipate
a
interim
budget
change
to
advance
those
positions
into
fiscal
year,
2023
at
July,
18th.
Upon
final
approval
of
that
zoning
code.
H
That's
great,
thank
you
yeah
I
guess.
Maybe
just
one
thing
I
would
like
for
Council
is
that
that
might
be
an
area
that
we
look
at
and
examine.
I,
don't
know
if
there's
going
to
be
a
need
for
more
Staffing
there
or
even
to
be
examining
the
bandwidth.
You
know,
as
the
new
zoning
code
goes
in
place,
will
there
be
a
need
for
more
Code
Compliance
code
enforcement,
related
issues
and
yeah?
So
maybe
that's
just
teeing
up
a
future
conversation
thanks,
sir.
F
This
might
be
an
Eric
and
or
Doug
question
as
part
of
the
motion
sheet.
It
talks
about
the
new
city
New
City
facility
at
Warm
Springs.
We
got
a
donation
and
it
looks
like
we're
also
taking
some
of
the
capital
fund.
Can
you
walk
us
through
the
the
cost
of
that
project?
How
much
it
is
donation?
How
much
is
City
and
then
was
this
on
the
planning
prospectus
and
the
donation
helped
make
it
sooner
walk
us
through
the
timeline
on
that.
E
Absolutely
I'll
give
it
a
shot
and
Doug
if,
if
I
miss
anything,
please
come
up
and
correct
me,
so
the
the
planned
cost
for
that
that
investment
is
9.6
million
dollars.
It
has
been
long
desired
to
be
a
a
project
to
be
addressed.
There
are
numerous
deferred
maintenance
issues
associated
with
that
facility,
absent
the
construction
of
this
new
facility.
E
There
would
need
to
be
significant
Investments
to
continue
services
at
Warm
Springs
that
9.6
million
dollar
investment
for
Warm
Springs
is
supported
via
a
few
different
approaches.
First
and
foremost,
is
the
the
donation
very,
very
generous
donation
from
from
a
private
resident.
Secondly,
a
two
million
dollar
contribution
from
our
golf
Reserve.
E
So
at
the
end
of
every
year
there
is
an
accounting
done
to
look
at
net
revenues
versus
Net
expenses
or
at
the
golf
courses
and
anything
in
terms
of
direct
expenses.
Anything
above
and
beyond,
or
expenses
that
is
collected
is
deposited
within
that
goal
for
golf
Reserve.
So
that's
two
million
dollars.
The
remaining
4.1
million
dollars
is
effectively
a
alone
from
the
from
the
Gulf
or
excuse
me
from
the
capital
fund,
which
will
be
recouped
over
a
10-year
period.
From
increased
revenues
generated
at
the
facility.
F
E
K
Man
mayor,
yes,
could
we
just
have
I'd
like
to
better
understand
the
library's
strategic
planning
around
facilities?
I
know
that
may
have
some
budget
implications,
but
I'd
like
to
better
understand
that.
I
What
you'll
be
looking
at
Madam
mayor?
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
councilmember
Nash,
for
the
opportunity
to
speak,
as
was
referenced
by
some
of
my
colleagues.
We
have
just
completed,
and
actually,
since
I
spoke
with
you
in
May,
in
our
June
board
meeting
the
library
Board
of
Trustees
approved
our
new
strategic
plan
with
a
couple
modifications
that
we're
making,
but
this
will
set
the
programmatic
direction
for
the
programs
and
services
that
we
provide
as
part
of
the
fiscal
year
24
budget.
We
are
requesting
funding
to
do
a
full
facilities
plan.
I
We
made
a
deliberate
choice
to
start
with
the
programs
and
services
and
then,
after
you
know,
understanding
what
the
community
wants.
Our
impact
to
be
than
to
do
the
next
work
to
look
at
okay.
What
are
the
facilities
that
we
need
across
the
system?
What
are
the
staff
competencies
that
we
need?
So
they'll
also
be
looking
at
what
you
know:
what's
our
new?
I
What's
a
modern
Staffing
model
for
our
library,
so
that
is
work
that
we're
really
excited
about
kicking
off,
but
we
definitely
needed
that
peace
from
the
community
about
what
they
want
to
see
us
the
role
they
want
us
to
play
in
education,
the
role
they
want
us
to
play
in
community
support
where
they
want
us
to
lead
in
terms
of
lifelong
education,
but
also
then,
where
they
want
us
to
support
Economic
Development,
some
of
the
services
that
we're
starting
to
provide
and
then
how
to
be
more
efficient.
I
So
what
was
interesting
to
me
is
that
when
we
specifically
went
to
the
community
to
talk
about
Services,
how
much
feedback
we
heard
was
also
wanting
to
really
have
a
robust
discussion
about
facilities
and
the
blend
between
what?
What
do
we
want
to
have
in
our
buildings?
What
do
we
want
to
have
outside
of
our
buildings?
Would
we
want
to
have
technology-wise,
so
I
think
we're
in
a
really
good
spot
to
start
that
work
as
soon
as
the
fiscal
year
kicks
in.
I
Council,
member
Nash
no
I
right
now,
we
have
just
started
the
early
planning
on
that
and
so
we're.
You
know
that
would
be
lockstep
with
support
from
Public,
Works
and
we'll
have
to
really
think
about
the
right
scope
and
we
could
get
back
to
you
with
what
that
would
look
like,
and
involvement
from
the
community
as
well.
A
Yeah
I
want
to
just
pick
up
and
and
emphasize
that
Community
involvement
piece
so
I'm
in
the
budget
is
the
request
for
funds
that
would
allow
the
library
to
begin
the
strategic
planning,
kind
of
facilities,
planning
process
and
once
they're.
At
that
point,
the
public
should
expect,
as
we
expect
a
robust
Community
engagement
part
of
that,
and
so
as
I
would
imagine
that,
as
the
library
Works
to
determine,
who
will
partner
with
them
to
take
a
look
at
this.
I
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
I.
Would
just
I
want
to
reiterate
that
point,
because
I
do
think
we
were
for
my
takeaway
from
the
strategic
planning
process
was
how
much
Community
engagement
we
got.
We
were
actually
you
know
we
were
coming
out
of
covert.
We
weren't
sure
how
much
the
community
would
have
attention
and
focus
on
libraries.
I
We
were,
quite
frankly,
just
so
thrilled
to
be
overwhelmed
with
communities,
support
and
engagement.
You
know
we
had
done
some
open-ended
surveys
and
got
just
so
much
more
data
than
we
had
expected.
It
was
so
rich.
It
actually
took
us
longer
to
go
through
and
one
of
the
things
in
particular
that
the
library
Board
of
Trustees
had
really
robust
discussions
at
our
board
meetings
about
making
sure
that
we
were
really
looking
across
the
system
and
seeing
okay.
A
Thank
you
all
right,
I
just
want
to
just
before
we
wrap
up.
Are
you
doing
motions
next,
okay,
I
am
gonna,
ask
some
staff
to
stand
and
and
be
recognized
so
that
we
can
thank
everybody
properly.
First,
of
course,
I
want
to
thank
our
I'm
not
going
to
ask
our
directors
to
stand.
A
We're
looking
right
at
you,
because
you're
in
the
front
rows
appreciate
everything
that
you
do
day
in
day
out,
of
course,
to
help
us
run
the
city
and
provide
service
and
meet
our
goals
and
mission
and
vision,
but
also
the
lead
up
to
this
and
all
the
planning
and
thoughts
that
went
into
creating
a
budget
that
reflects
our
values
and
and
the
importance
of
service
to
Boise
Christine
Miller,
who
in
our
office
Works
directly
with
the
Departments
and
through
this,
of
course,
Eric,
who
we
see
often,
and
then
the
finance
team
in
the
back
I'm
gonna,
call
some
names
and
actually
ask
you
to
stand,
because
we
don't
see
all
of
you
all
that
often
and
then,
if
I
miss
some
of
you
I'm
gonna,
say
sorry
and
then
ask
you
to
stand
to.
A
But
of
course,
Travis
black
presented
Sean
did
as
well
Justin
Erickson.
Thank
you,
Justin
Jesse,
Stevenson,
Kyra,
Nielsen,
Lisa
Owens.
There
you
are
I,
didn't
see
you
back
there,
Lisa
Mike,
Shirak
and
then
the
rest
of
you
that
are
here
that
have
provided
help
and
support
through
this
as
well
in
the
Budget
Finance
team.
Thank
you.
So
very
much
really
appreciate
it.
A
G
Turn
it
over
to
you
amen,
Amir.
Thank
you
for
those
comments.
I
just
want
to
Echo
that
I'm
so
thankful
that
we
have
so
many
talented
engaged,
dedicated
people
at
the
city
who
love
numbers,
because
I
can't
imagine
doing
that
work
day
in
and
day
out
and
I'm,
so
thankful
that
you
all
love
doing
that
work
day
in
and
day
out,
so
that
we
can
have
a
budget.
We
can
Shepherd
our
taxpayer
dollars
intelligently
and
carefully
into
the
programs
that
are
important
for
our
residents.

worked

lot
of
times.
I
would
invite
all
members
of
the
community
who
care
about
the
budget
and
care
about
the
priorities
that
we
present
in
this
budget
to
come
or
join
us
via
Zoom
for
that
public
hearing
and
share
your
thoughts
and
hopes
for
our
city.

H
Then
Mary,
yes,
since
this
is
the
last
kind
of
motion
last
time
for
discussion,
just
a
couple
comments.
One!
Thank
you
to
the
staff.
This
is
the
thinnest
Book
for
a
budget.
I
think
we've
gotten
since
I've
been
on
here
and
it's
very,
very
readable.
So
it's
really
good
for
the
public
to
be
able
to
have
something
and
for
us,
as
council
members
to
be
able
to
have
something
that's
easy
to
digest.
H
This
was
probably
more
appropriate
for
the
very
first
motion,
but
I'm
always
excited
to
see
us
invest
in
additional
Staffing
and
staffing
needs
for
the
city.
I
say
this
every
single
year,
but
people
are
programs.
H
When
we
look
at
each
one
of
those
employees
that
we
truly
need
them
to
make
sure
that
we
can
continue
the
services
that
we
have
in
the
community
and
then
the
last
part
there
there's
also
some
investments
in
some
raises:
first
staff,
both
in
Merit
and
in
base,
as
well
as
some
additional
benefits
for
staff
as
well,
and
many
of
those
were
actually
identified
by
our
HR
team
I'm,
reaching
out
to
our
staff
to
see
what
it
was
that
they're
looking
for
bringing
some
of
those
things,
I
think
up
to
some
best-in-class
standards
and
again
the
more
that
we
can
keep
staff
around
and
the
more
that
we
can
recruit.
H
G
Council
member
Hallie
Burton
said
about
investing
in
Staffing
and
just
want
to
point
out
that
about
half
of
our
budget,
our
general
fund
budget
goes
to
Public
Safety
and
we,
through
a
hard
negotiated
contract
process
done
by
many
people
here
in
this
room
in
a
very
transparent
way
that
really
took
Council
priorities
into
account
throughout
that
worked
very
hard
to
get
us
new
Public
Safety
contracts,
so
I
just
want
to
commend
staff
in
the
room
and
also
the
unions
for
engaging
on
that,
because
it
is
such
a
huge
part
of
our
budget.
