Well,
good
morning,
everybody,
I
think,
we'll
go
ahead
and
get
started.
The
council
president
will
be
with
us
shortly:
let's
go
ahead
and
start
with
a
call
to
order
and.
B
B
A
And
that's
enough
right:
okay,
all
right
great!
Well,
welcome
everybody!
Today
we
are
attempting
to
get
back
to
a
work
session
format
where,
on
the
daytime
meeting,
we
spent
some
time
hearing
from
staff
on
our
more
strategic
initiatives
that
all
of
us
are
working
on.
So
today,
we'll
hear
on
about
parks,
planning,
housing
plans
and
then
climate
work,
that's
being
done,
and
with
that
I
believe
jennifer
tomlinson
is
with
us
to
present
from
the
parks
department.
D
Hi,
madam
mayor
council
members,
thank
you
for
having
me
I'm
just
going
to
provide
an
overview
of
some
of
the
stuff
that
we've
been
working
on
since
december,
when
council
approved
an
additional
about
four
and
a
half
million
dollars
for
some
of
our
major
repairs
and
maintenance
projects
and
then
also
a
couple
of
our
capital
projects
that
we
have
that
are
actually
under
construction.
A
A
D
About
that
so
used
to
teams
meetings,
it's
all
different
in
zoom,
so
just
real
quickly.
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
guys
kind
of
a
geographic
overview
over
where
a
lot
of
our
projects
are
happening.
So
we
have
them
really
spread
out
all
throughout
town
and
we're
working.
D
A
lot
of
the
funding
was
dedicated
to
greenbelt
replacement,
so
that's
happening
kind
of
all
over
the
city,
and
then
we
do
have
kind
of
a
gap
in
the
west
bench
this
year,
but
that's
because
we
have
so
many
projects
being
held
over
from
last
year.
So
last
year
we
went
through
a
few
like
a
couple
of
projects
through
the
strategic
planning
contingency
for
new
restrooms.
I
think
we
have
two
new
restrooms
going
in
the
west
bench
and
those
have
been
on
back
order
for
a
very
long
time
from
one
of
our
vendors.
D
So
that's
really
the
reason
why
there
aren't
a
ton
of
projects
over
there,
but
we're
really
focusing
on
the
southwest
the
central
bench
and
then
downtown
and
a
little
bit
in
the
southeast.
D
So
one
of
our
large
projects
that
we're
working
on
is
repairing
some
of
the
stucco
at
the
depot.
Just
if
you
can
from
far
away
it
looks
beautiful
right,
everything
looks
wonderful,
but
when
you
zoom
in
on
it
a
little
bit,
you
can
start
to
see
where
we're
having
some
spalling
in
the
stucco.
So
we
have
a
specialist
who
specializes
in
this
kind
of
stucco
repair
that
we
have
hired
to
take
a
look
at.
D
It,
come
up
with
a
plan
for
how
to
phase
the
improvements,
because
it
is
fairly
significant
and
it's
especially
on
the
tower
and
the
tower
requires
some
additional
equipment
to
get
in
and
to
get
the
stucco
replaced
up
there.
So
we're
working
on
that.
I
think
we're
anticipating,
that's,
probably
going
to
be
a
one
to
two
year
process,
just
because
of
the
intricacies
in
it
and
because
it's
such
a
highly
specialized
kind
of
stucco.
That's
on
the
depot
one
of
our
next
project
here.
A
E
Go
ahead,
thank
you.
Jennifer
remind
me.
I
thought
we'd
get
a
fairly
significant
stucco
repair
on
the
depot.
Not
that
long
ago,
comment
on
that
what
happened.
D
Madam
mayor
council,
member
clegg-
so
I
I
want
to
say
that
was
about
10
years
ago,
and
I
think
that
was
only
a
portion
of
it
where
the
fascia
and
the
roof
kind
of
line
up.
So
the
the
damage
is
a
little
bit
more
widespread.
So
we're
looking
at
kind
of
doing
a
much
larger
project.
This
time.
E
Thank
you
follow
up.
If
I
could,
I
guess
I
it's
good
to
hear
that,
and
I
would
suggest
we
do
what
we
need
to
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
have
to
do
this
every
10
years.
D
D
Over
at
esther,
simplod
we've
been
working
for
the
last
couple
of
years
to
come
up
with
a
a
more
a
significant
plan
and
investment
to
really
address
the
water
quality
impacts
that
we've
been
having
over
there.
So
we've
been
working
closely
with
public
works.
They
they
have
been
working
on
securing
an
additional
water
right
from
the
boise
river.
D
So
this,
actually,
I
think
in
about
a
month
we're
gonna
start
construction
of
a
new
intake
from
the
boise
river
that
will
go
into
quinn's
pond
and
then
in
the
next
winter
once
the
irrigation
season
is
over,
then
we're
going
to
work
on
kind
of
the
ponds
over
at
estherson
plot.
So
this
is
really
almost
a
three-phase
project
where
we
have
to
get
the
water
right.
We
got
to
get
the
new
intake
from
the
river
and
then
we
work
on
the
ponds
over
at
esther.
D
In
the
meantime,
we
do
intend
to
rent
additional
water
for
the
summer
so
that,
hopefully
we
don't
see
the
harmful
algae
blooms
that
we
saw
last
summer
that
ended
up
keeping
the
ponds
closed
for
a
good
bit
of
time.
So
we,
I
think,
we're
on
the
same
page.
The
dilution
is
the
solution,
so
we're
really
doing
everything
we
can
to
get
that
and
to
get
the
water
and
the
ponds
mixing
up
really
well.
D
Over
at
eagle
rock,
which
is
located
in
the
east
end
last
year,
we
started
having
a
play
camp
at
this
particular
park
and
through
the
play
camp
and
through
the
scheduling,
we've
realized
that
the
restrooms
and
the
shelter
are
really
inadequate
for
the
needs
to
have
as
many
kids
as
we
were
having
at
the
park.
So
we
had
originally
had
this
scheduled
for
this
year,
but
this
funding
allowed
us
to
go
with
a
different
vendor
for
our
restroom
buildings
and
for
our
shelters.
D
So
we
have
completed
tearing
down
the
existing
restroom
and
shelter
and
then
we're
going
to
be
building
a
new
three-stall
restroom
with
a
fairly
significant
amount
of
storage,
so
that
we
can
both
have
play
camp
equipment
stored
in
there
and
so
that
we
can
have
our
custodial
staffs
equipment
that
they
usually
need
on
site.
So
this
one
should
be
complete
by
may.
We
have
like
that's
our
absolute
deadline
because
play
camp
starts
and
we're
not
going
to
have
kids
in
porta
potties,
because
that
would
be
awful.
D
F
Just
real
quick
jennifer
about
eagle
rock:
do
we
have
any
updates
or
dates
scheduled
for
the
planting
of
the
bitter
brush
and
the
sagebrush
in
that
area?
Has
that
been
rescheduled.
D
Adam
mayer,
councilmember
hallie
burton
I
believe,
martha's
running
that
project,
and
I
think
she
probably
has
it
scheduled
for
later
this
swing,
what
or
the
spring
once
we
have
volunteers
that
are
able
to
come
back
and
do
projects
for
us
perfect.
Thank
you.
They
they
have
done
a
significant
amount
of
planting
over
in
the
reserve.
It's
it's
pretty
incredible.
What
they've
been
able
to
accomplish
so
far.
D
So
we
have
this
restroom,
the
one
on
the
left
at
road
skate
park.
We
have
not
opened
this
restroom
since
about
2015,
because
we've
had
so
many
issues
with
it.
It's
it
doesn't
meet
any
of
our
current
design
standards
and
we've
just
basically
had
a
porta
potty
that
sits
in
the
parking
lot
and
is
one
of
the
grossest
ones.
D
I
think
that
we
have
in
our
system,
so
we
have
been
trying
for
a
few
years
to
get
this
replaced
with
a
more
urban
bathroom
which
the
portland
blue,
you
can
see
the
rendering
on
the
right
we're
actually
putting
one
of
these
over
at
11th
and
bannock
too
it'll
really
kind
of
clean
up
the
area
a
good
bit
and
it
that
building
was.
I
think
that
building
was
built
in
like
the
70s
and
it
really
does
block
a
lot
of
what's
going
on
in
the
park.
D
So
this
is
a
super,
exciting
project,
because
we're
hoping
we
can
get
rid
of
one
of
those
porta
porta-potties,
the
porta-potty,
which
would
be
awesome,
and
then
this
is
something
that
we
can
open
year-round
and
it
has
a
lot
of
like
features
designed
for
an
urban
area,
so
maintenance
of
it
is
really
straightforward
and
it
it's
we're,
really
excited
to
try
it
out
in
the
system
because,
like
I
said,
we
don't
have
any
so
far
and
now
that
we're
developing
a
lot
more
in
the
urban
areas,
it's
a
really
interesting
model
for
moving
forward.
G
D
Madam
mayor
council,
member
sanchez,
I
know
it's
really:
it's
isn't
it
fun
to
talk
about
bathrooms,
but
it
so
it
has.
A
lot
of
we've
actually
worked
with
police
on
designing
this.
It
has
a
lot
of
features
that
are
that
make
it
less
interesting
of
a
place
to
kind
of
hang
out.
So
it's
it's.
It's
got
louvers
on
the
bottom,
so
you
can't
see
it
it.
D
You
can't
see
out
of
it,
but
you
can
see
if
there's
somebody
in
it
and
then
all
of
the
fixtures
are
on
the
exterior
of
the
building.
So
like
the
sink
and
then,
like
the
the
hand,
wash
station,
those
are
all
on
the
exterior
of
the
building.
So
it's
really
a
restroom,
that's
designed
to
like
getting
get
out
into
your
business
and
move
on
with
your
day.
So
that's
that's.
Why
we're
interested
in
seeing
how
it
works
in
this
area.
D
Our
original
fy
21
budget
had
one
section
of
greenbelt
and
that's
the
section
from
east
park
center
down
to
the
orange
bridge
on
the
south
side
of
the
river,
with
the
additional
funding
we've
been
able
to
add
over
a
mile
from
9th
street
to
the
firefighters
memorial
on
the
north
side
of
the
river,
we're
able
to
correct
this
issue
that
we
have
as
a
result
of
2018
flooding
where
the
bank
of
the
river
completely
eroded
underneath
the
path
this
one's
out
by
lake
harbor
and
then
really
the
bulk
of
our
time
is
going
to
be
spent
on
this
9th
street
to
firefighters
from
memorial
section.
D
It
is
a
it's
it's
a
it's
fun
for
kids
who,
like
riding
bikes
and
they
love
bumps
in
pathways.
It's
terrible
for
us!
It's
just
the
tree
roots
have
really
impacted
it.
The
last
time
we
did,
this
section
was
in
2010
and,
as
you
can
see,
we
did
it
in
asphalt
and
it's
just
not
holding
up
to
the
trees.
So
there
will
be
a
series
of
green
belt
starting
this
spring.
D
We're
trying
to
schedule
them
based
on
the
areas
that
are
most
prone
to
flooding,
so
those
are
the
ones
that
we
would
do
later,
so
this
one
by
lake
harbor
that
one
will
be
done
later
in
the
year
and
then
like
this
section
on
the
north
side
of
ann
morrison,
that'll,
probably
be
done
sooner,
because
that
area
is
not
impacted
by
flooding.
We
just
don't
know
what
the
spring
is
going
to
look
like
with
winter
runoff
and
flows.
E
Madden
bear
yes,
thank
you,
jennifer
the
section
there
by
the
firefighters,
memorial
there's
also
a
restroom
in
that
little
park.
Have
we
thought
about
replacing
that
restroom
also
with
a
portland
lou.
D
Madden
mayor
council,
president
clegg,
the
restroom
at
riverside
is
actually
scheduled
for
replacement,
it's
about
to
be
demoed
and
we
are
using
a
cxt
on
that
one.
We
needed
more
storage
space
than
the
portland
lube
provides,
so
we
had
to
be
able
to
build
in
a
garage
on
that.
That's
one
of
our
restrooms
that
we're
still
waiting
on
from
our
normal
vendor.
D
And
then
so,
then,
I
believe
there
was
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
that
was
listed
in
the
new
update
for
parking
lot
renovations.
We
have
93
parks
in
the
system.
They
all
have
parking
lots.
D
A
lot
of
them
are
asphalt,
some
of
them
are
deteriorating,
so
the
bulk
of
the
funding
will
be
spent
on
redoing
the
fort
boise
community
center.
The
remaining
parking
lot.
We
did
the
senior
center
side
of
it
a
few
years
ago
and
now
we're
gonna
do
the
rest
of
it
and
then
we're
gonna
be
spending
about
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
on
sealcoating.
Some
of
our
existing
parking
lots
that
aren't
in
the
worst
shape,
but
definitely
need
some
attention
so
that
we
can
preserve
them
for
the
long
haul.
D
We
learned
that
in
the
summer
they
get
kind
of
hot.
So
we
took
a
look
at
the
sites
where
we
installed
those
the
ones
that
don't
have
significant
canopy,
covering
them
and
especially
cacha,
because
it
does
have
a
play
camp.
So
we're
looking
at
installing
some
shade
features
over
some
of
the
elements.
The
two
to
five.
D
This
piece
right
here,
some
of
the
swings
over
here
and
then
in
this
area
and
the
hope
is-
is
that'll,
bring
down
the
temperature
of
the
whole
area
and
make
it
more
comfortable
so
that
kids
can
use
it
all
throughout
the
day,
instead
of
just
in
the
morning
and
just
in
the
evening
hours.
We're
also
looking
at
camel's
back
park
for
this.
But
we
still
need
to
get
a
better
idea
of
what
the
shade
canopy
looks
like
there
from
the
trees.
D
D
One
of
our
biggest
projects
that
we're
working
on
that's
like
one
of
the
coolest
and
most
exciting,
and
I
can't
say
thank
you
enough
for
giving
us
additional
funding
for
this
project
because
it's
turning
out
to
be
pretty
spectacular
is
molinar
park.
So
last
year
we
went
through
the
process
of
updating
our
master
plan
for
this
park
because
we
had
the
we
had
a
lot
of
the
amenities
located
on
the
north
side
of
the
parking
lot.
D
Achd
is
redoing
maple
grove
right
now,
so
they're
using
a
large
storm
swale
that
ended
up
impacting
the
park
a
little
bit.
So
we
updated
the
master
plan
and
we
turned
this
entire
area
into
a
dog
park
and
that
has
since
been
opened.
So
we
did
that
through
a
neighborhood
reinvestment
grant
last
year
and
I
think
it
just
opened.
Maybe
like
six
months
ago,
it's
been
really
successful.
D
The
neighbors
are
really
enjoying
having
a
place
to
take
their
dogs
to
and
the
turf
is
actually
holding
up
to
them,
which
is
pretty
exciting,
and
then
the
larger
project
that
we're
going
to
be
working
on
is
the
splash
pad
splash
pad
and
playground.
D
So
this
is
our
first
real
large
scale
community
wide,
I
would
say,
splash
pad.
We
have
facilities
at.
We
have
some.
We
have
some
splash
features
of
bora.
We
have
some
at
cumba
over
in
west
boise
and
then
we're
also
working
to
redo
the
ann
morrison
fountain,
so
that
it's
more
of
an
interactive
feature.
But
this
is
a
really
like
this
is
like
a
dedicated
splash
pad
and
it's
gonna
be
located
right
next
to
the
playground,
and
it's
really
like
the
coolest
playground
ever
so
it's
pretty
exciting.
D
We
have
a
dueling
65
foot,
long,
zip
lines
that
you
can
see
back
in
this
corner,
so
kids
can
race
each
other,
which
is
like
the
most
amazing
energy
burner
ever
for
small
kids.
We
have
a
lot
of
seating
area
like
a
shelter
for
parents
so
that
they
can
see
their
kids
like
all
over
the
playground.
We
have
this
spectacular
tower
that
should
be
really
fun.
D
We
have
net
climbers
spinners
and
then
we
have
some
more
big
o
swings
and
one
of
the
other
things
that
we
were
able
to
do
on
this.
One
also
is
add
shade,
because
this
is
this
is
an
area
that
doesn't
have
a
lot
of
tree
canopy,
since
it's
a
newer
facility,
so
having
shade
on
this
is
going
to
be
really
important
from
the
get-go.
D
So
the
way
the
splash
pad
will
be
programmed
is
like
from
the
end
of
may,
until
probably
september,
we'll
leave
it
on
it's
going
to
be
a
it's
a
system,
that's
not
going
to
require
chemical
treatment,
so
it'll
be
a
lot
simple
it'll
be
similar
to
what
we
do
with
combo,
where
we
have
a
holding
tank
and
then
the
water
like
recirculates
through
and
this
one.
We
anticipate
opening
by
memorial
day.
D
And
then
just
a
couple
of
quick
capital
updates,
I
just
wanted
to
let
you
guys
know
that
bowler
park
is
under
construction.
They
have
one
of
the
largest
dirt
piles
that
I've
ever
seen
on
any
of
our
property.
So
they
are
clearing
that
out
for
the
green
space.
And
then
one
of
the
pretty
neat
things
we
were
able
to
do
is
work
with
this
adjoining
church.
D
So
they're
going
to
be
they're,
going
to
be
developing
this
area
into
green
space
as
well,
and
so
it'll
be
pretty
seamless
the
amount
of
green
space
that
is
open
and
it'll
be
a
lot
larger
than
we
were
intending
on
doing
ourselves,
because
we
were
really
working
to
preserve
some
of
the
sage
step
kind
of
ecosystem
that
we
have
out
there.
So
we
were
pretty
strategic
in
where
we
put
the
green
space.
D
This
will
include
an
additional
60
trees
and
I
think
the
ibc
came
before
you
guys
in
november
or
december,
but
this
is
the
this
park
will
be
fully
built
out,
so
we're
getting
playground
we're
getting
splash
pad
our
misters
and
then
we're
getting
like
an
adult
gym
out
there
as
well
a
skate
park.
It's
it's.
It's
really
exciting
to
be
able
to
build
one
out,
like
you
know
from
start
to
finish,
so
the
projects
manager
on
this
one
is
really
excited,
and
it's
by
my
house.
D
So
it
gets
an
incredible
level
of
project
management
oversight,
as
I
drive
by
it
like
12
times
a
day
and
then
that
one's
anticipate
anticipated
to
be
done
by
june.
D
You
know
we
have
a
layout
of
it,
we
don't
have
it
rendered,
though
I
could
send
you
the
layout.
If
you'd
like
to
see
it
that'd.
D
And
then,
finally,
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
guys
a
quick
update
on
the
11th
and
bannock
site.
It
still
doesn't
have
a
name,
but
we're
going
to
be
going
through
a
naming
process
here
shortly.
This
project
is
a
partnership
between
us,
rafaeli,
najas
and
ccdc
for
construction
of
this
urban
park.
The
building
is
complete
and
they're
working
on
the
infrastructure
right
now
and
this
site
is
the
receiver
site
for
the
public
works
lander
street
tree
removal
mitigation
dollars.
D
So
with
that
funding,
we
were
able
to
develop
a
pretty
comprehensive
silver
cell
system
on
site
and
that
really
does
allow
trees
just
to
grow
so
much
bigger
a
good
bit
faster
and
provides
way
more
drainage
than
we
would
have
gotten
otherwise.
So
a
lot
of
subsurface
work
is
going
on
right
now,
and
this
one,
I
think,
is
also
supposed
to
be
done
by
like
june
or
july,
and
once
we
have
a
name
for
it
identified.
I
believe
we'll
bring
that
back
before
you
guys
for
approval,
and
that's
all
I
have
so.
H
Madam
mayor,
yes,
go
ahead:
yeah
thanks,
jennifer,
that's
very
exciting.
The
monarch
is
really
cool
and
can't
wait
to
see
what
you
all
come
up
with
with
bowler
and,
of
course,
11th
and
bannock.
I'm
especially
excited
about
it's
right
next
to
my
place
of
employment,
idaho
power.
So
it's
going
to
be
a
great
place
to
utilize
regularly
once
we
all
get
back
to
working
in
the
office.
H
You
had
mentioned
two
two
restrooms
we're
on
hold,
I
assume
one's
cottonwood
park
and
what
does
it
mean
to
have
a
a
restroom
on
backorder?
I
don't
understand
that
thanks.
D
Madam
mayor
councilmember
thompson,
our
vendor
relocated
their
manufacturing
facility
actually
from
washington
to
nampa
and
when
they
did
that
they
ended
up
having
some
significant
issues
and
being
able
to
set
up
their
new
shop
and
turn
out
our
facilities.
So
usually
it
takes
about
120
days
to
get
one
of
those
manufactured,
but
and
at
the
same
time
we
put
in
an
order
for
like
six
restrooms,
so
we
had
a
large
order
in
so
we
have
been
waiting
they're
starting
to
finally
roll
off
the
assembly
line.
D
Right
now
we
just
got
one
out
at
hillside
to
hollow,
but
redwood
and
cottonwood
they've
both
been
bid,
so
they
have
been
awarded
to
a
contractor
for
installation.
I
think
redwood
is
gonna,
probably
go
in
first
and
then
cottonwood
will
go
in
after
that,
but
they
should
be
going
in
sometime.
I
would
say
like
in
the
next
four
months
at
the
latest.
E
E
You
jennifer
tell
us
where
the
new
master
plan
on
anne
morrison
is
you
mentioned
that
we're
looking
at
doing
some
interactive
features
around
the
the
fountain?
I
know
that
that's
going
to
be
sort
of
a
overtime
process,
but
any
other
improvements
scheduled
this
year
toward
that
master
plan.
D
Madam
mayor
council,
president
clegg,
so
we
have
the
fountain
scheduled
for
this
year.
One
part
one
project
that
the
the
morrison
foundation
is
working
on
is
a
donor
recognition
area,
so
that'll
probably
go
in
we're
thinking
around
the
same
time
as
the
fountain,
just
because
it's
kind
of
in
a
similar
area,
and
then
we
have
had
the
connection
from
paisley
street
down
into
the
park
engineered,
so
we're
trying
to
figure
out
what
the
funding
is
going
to
look
like
on
that
one.
D
Additionally,
the
morrison
foundation
is
working
with
us
on
relocating
the
clock
tower
and
getting
that
thing
getting
it
like
resurfaced.
So
I
think
the
clock
tower,
I
believe,
is
going
to
happen
this
year
and
then
the
connection
to
pisley
is
really
going
to
be
contingent
on
funding.
The
big
big
project
is
going
to
be
the
roadways
and
we
don't
have
that
currently
funded.
Yet
it's
going
to
be
a
massive
project,
so
I
think
we're
all
scratching
our
heads
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
you
know,
realign
a
bunch
of
roadways
in
170,
acre
park.
D
But
yeah
that'll
be
that'll,
be
a
really
significant
project
other
than
that.
As
far
as
like
our
agreement
with
the
morrison
foundation
together,
treasure
valley,
dog
island
was
part
of
that
agreement.
The
fountain
is
part
of
our
contribution
and
then
yeah
they're
they're
responsible
for
the
donor
recognition
and
then
potentially
the
clock
tower.
E
Good
sounds
like
we're:
making
progress,
that's
great,
I
think
so
and
then
follow
up.
If
I
could
madame
mayor,
of
course,
I
know
it's
been
very
difficult
with
covid,
but
are
we
planning
when
we're
able
to
have
some
kind
of
a
celebratory
concert
or
something
at
the
jean
harris
band?
Show?
Madam.
D
Mayor
council,
president
clegg,
I
think
doug
had
been
working
with
jody's
husband,
mr
steigers,
to
talk
about
some
sort
of
event
that
we
could
do
over
there,
and
I
think
it's
really
just
going
to
be
contingent
on
the
our
numbers
for
outdoor
outdoor
and
undergatherings
being
reduced.
So
it
would
be
amazing,
it
looks
incredible.
I
don't
know
if
you've
been
by
it,
but
it
looks
wonderful
and
the
inside
of
it
is
just
so
much
it's
leaps
and
bounds
ahead
of
where
it
was
so.
It's.
D
D
Thanks
for
the
opportunity,
it's
great
to
get
to
update
you
guys
on
all
the
cool
stuff
we
have
going
on,
take
care.
A
A
Okay,
great
well
welcome
kyle
is
helping
lead
up
a
cross-sectional
team
of
city
employees
that
are
tasked
with
coming
up
with
new
ideas
to
address
our
affordable
housing
needs
in
the
community.
So
with
that
kyle
take
it
away.
I
Madam
mayor
council
members
good
morning,
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
I'm
here
today
to
give
you
some
background
and
an
update
on
the
innovation
track
and
that's.
E
I
Harvard
bloomberg
program
that
we
applied
to
and
were
accepted
to
back
in
november.
I
especially
wanted
to
update
you
because
we
set
aside
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
the
housing
innovation
ibc
that
came
to
you
back
in
december
to
pilot
one
or
more
solutions
that
come
out
of
this
program
and
just
to
make
sure
we're
clear.
I
believe
there
was
a
million
dollars
set
aside
in
the
ibc
for
housing,
innovation
and
only
100
000
of
that
is
allocated
to
this
program.
I
I
think
my
colleagues
in
pds
will
come
to
you
in
the
coming
weeks
to
talk
about
how
we'll
spend
the
rest
of
that
money,
so
you
can
see
on
the
slide
a
description
of
the
program.
I
underlined
two
items
that
I
think
are
central
to
this
work.
The
first
is
creative
ideas
right
and
when
we
talk
about
complex
challenges
like
housing,
affordability
or
climate
change
or
inclusive
economic
growth,
these
are
all
systemic
problems,
as
we
all
know,
with
lots
of
root
causes
right.
I
So
traditional
solutions
and
best
practices
are
really
important
in
those
cases,
but
I
don't
think
they're
sufficient.
I
really
believe
we
have
to
come
up
with
creative
ideas
to
be
successful
in
those
areas.
The
second
phrase
I
want
to
highlight
is
engage
residence.
This
program
is
really
grounded
in
the
idea
that
people
in
closest
proximity
to
the
problem
are
closest
to
the
solution.
I
We
are
one
of
11
cities
participating
in
the
program
this
year.
Other
cities
are
focusing
on
challenges
ranging
from
food
deserts
to
small
business
support.
But,
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
we
are
focused
on
housing,
affordability,
since
that's
such
a
critical
challenge
for
our
community,
I've
recruited
a
core
team
of
12
superstar
city
staff,
I'm
really
excited
about
to
participate
in
the
program.
I
asked
directors
to
nominate
their
best
and
brightest
folks
who
are
creative
problem
solvers,
and
I
think
we
have
that
group
here
and
we
also
know.
E
I
To
come
up
with
innovative
ideas,
we
need
a
really
diverse
group
of
perspectives
at
the
table,
so
I
recruited
as
diverse
a
group
as
possible,
and
I
really
do
mean
diverse
in
every
sense
of
the
word.
We
have
folks
from
10
different
departments,
so
it's
not
just
the
team
of
the
city's
housing
experts.
Here
there
are
folks
with
different
types
of
jobs
and
levels
of
seniority.
You
know
you
can
see
librarians
and
analysts
and
even
the
director
of
our
office
of
community
engagement.
I
I
The
program
uses
a
design-based
innovation
approach
which
builds
on
some
of
the
great
work.
I
think
the
city
is
already
doing
to
engage
the
public.
So,
under
this
approach,
you
know,
rather
than
making
residents
come
to
us
in
formal
meetings,
to
talk
about
challenges
in
this
approach,
we
go
to
them
and
interact
with
them
in
their
homes
and
workplaces,
and
rather
than
pulling
together
our
internal
subject
matter,
experts
trying
to
find
one
best
solution
and
waiting
to
launch
it
until
it's
perfect.
I
And
you'll
see
here
the
innovation
framework
that
we're
using
as
part
of
this
program,
to
guide
our
work.
There
are
three
phases
there
phase
one,
which
is
that
kind
of
red
circle
is
understanding
the
problem.
So
this
is
where
we
are
now
through
the
end
of
march,
we're
interviewing
lots
of
stakeholders
with
a
special
focus
on
hearing
from
underrepresented
communities
and
doing
lots
of
other
research
and
literature
reviews,
etc.
I
Then,
in
phase
two
starting
in
april,
that's
when
we'll
start
actually
generating
new
ideas
for
solutions
and
then
testing
and
iterating
on
that
until
we
feel
like
we're
in
a
good
place
to
make
sure
that
they'll
be
successful
and
then
in
phase
three
is
when
we
deliver
initiatives.
So
it's
in
that
phase
that
we
would
use
the
funds
from
the
ibc
to
pilot
and
test
one
or
more
of
the
solutions
from
the
group.
So
we
would
definitely
come
back
to
you
all,
then,
with
more
information
at
that
point.
I
J
Yes,
madam
mayor
council,
members
leon
lutzen.
Hopefully
you
can
see
me,
I'm
not
sure.
J
A
lot
less
zoom
familiar
than
I
am
teams
familiar
but
yeah,
so,
first
off
great
being
a
part
of
this
team.
Great
being,
I
guess
the
housing
expert
on
the
team
that
gets
to
talk
about
housing
with
folks
who
don't
have
to
think
who
aren't
thinking
about
this
in
the
same
way
that
I
am
every
day,
it's
helped
me
one
understand
kind
of
where
our
community
is
and
their
understanding
of
housing,
how
these
pieces
fit
together
or
aren't
fitting
together.
Very
well.
J
So
from
that
perspective,
it's
been
a
really
personally
great
experience
for
me,
and
I
also
will
highlight
you
know
there
are
so
many
things
we're
doing
on
the
housing
front
right
now
that
this
is
just
perfect
timing
for
the
innovation
program.
You
know
one
more
tool,
one
more
one,
more
thing
that
we
can
layer
on
our
efforts
to
to
solve
problems
in
terms
of
housing,
affordability
and
housing
supply,
so
to
kind
of
demonstrate
how
this
program
works.
J
We've
provided
some
examples
here
from
other
cities
that
participate
in
the
past
and
they've
engaged
in
a
variety
of
topics.
None
of
these
are
necessarily
housing
focused,
so
much
as
maybe
st
paul
minnesota
is
to
a
certain
extent,
but
I'll
walk.
You
through
the
sioux
falls
example
to
maybe
explain
the
three
phases
that
that
kyle
walked
you
through
quickly
at
the
beginning.
J
So
thank
you
kyle.
So
in
the
first
phase,
as
we
mentioned,
this
is
the
understand
the
problem
phase
and
honestly
for
our
group.
That's
where
we
are
right
now
and
that's
probably
been
our
biggest
challenge
is,
as
kyle
mentioned
before,
everyone
wants
to
immediately
think
of
a
solution.
J
The
second
some
problems
identified
and
this
program
really
asks
you
to
dig
in
and
understand
and
explore
the
problem
to
get
to
deeper
triggers
deeper
things
that
might
be
might
be
creating
it
before
you
jump
to
the
solutions
phase,
I
think
the
idea
there
being
that
oftentimes,
the
quickest
solution
right
out
the
gate-
probably
isn't
the
best
one.
So
this
whole
build
measure
learn
approach.
Is
is
really
reinforced
through
this
effort,
so
in
sioux
falls
south
dakota.
They
were
attempting
to
improve
their
public
transit
system.
J
So
in
the
phase
that
we
are
in
right
now,
they
understand
the
problem.
They,
the
team,
actually
rode
the
bus
to
understand
the
resident
experience.
Surprisingly,
not
a
lot
of
those
members
of
the
team
had
actually
ever
ridden
the
public
bus,
so
that
was
an
important
first
step
is
to
understand
the
experience
of
the
people
they
were
trying
to
solve
a
problem
for,
as
kyle
mentioned,
what
we'll
be
doing
is
interviewing
a
lot
of
folks
engaged
in
housing
or
housing,
affordability.
J
So
next
generating
and
testing
new
ideas,
so
in
sioux
falls
I
invited
40
residents
to
generate
ideas
with
their
team.
Obviously
that
was
a
pre-covet
experience,
so
we're
figuring
out
how
we're
going
to
do
that
here.
We
thankfully
have
maria
with
ce,
to
kind
of
help
us
figure
out
engagement
strategies
that
can
work
in
in
our
current
times
regarding
covet
and
and
all
the
other
things.
A
big
part
of
this
is
as
kyle
mentioned,
you
don't
create
the
one
perfect
idea
and
move
forward
with
it.
J
You
work
through
lots
of
small
ideas
and
workshop
them
and
and
see
what
really
rises
to
the
top.
So
in
doing
that,
sioux
falls
developed
a
simple
map
outlining
new
transit
ideas.
They
allowed
their
residents
to
interact
with
the
map
and
provide
feedback.
J
J
200
000
was
allocated
in
sioux,
falls
to
implement
the
project,
obviously
identified
partners
and
what
they
ultimately,
what
ultimately
resulted
on
out
of
sioux
falls
was
an
on-demand
public
transit
system
which
was
kind
of
a
game
changer
for
them
and
just
personally
reading
about
it.
This
morning
it
sounds
like
it's
been
pretty
successful
again,
considering
everything
happening
with
public
transit
during
the
time
of
covid.
They
have
seen
some
some
impressive
results
out
of
this
out
of
this
program.
J
So
in
terms
of
the
timeline,
as
I
mentioned
before,
we're
really
in
that
understand
the
problem
phase,
probably
for
another.
You
know
two
months
roughly
we're
currently
between
scheduling
interviews
with
stakeholders,
other
folks
close
to
the
problem
engaged
in
housing
and
doing
a
lot
of
research.
So
some
of
the
research
we're
doing
there
is
looking
at
all
of
the
past
conversations
the
city's
had
regarding
housing
back
to
you
know
even
the
conversations
community
conversations
on
growth.
J
I
think
there's
some
important
stuff
there
that
our
team
is
reviewing
again
to
understand
what
some
of
the
perceptions
are
regarding
housing,
some
of
the
the
concerns
and
then
we
you
know
simultaneously,
have
a
lot
going
on
with
community
development
analysis
that
was
recently
completed
by
vitruvian
for
housing
and
community
development
and
there's
some
follow-up
efforts
going
into
that
in
terms
of
housing,
gaps,
analysis
and
different,
different
things
like
that
obstacles
to
housing,
and
then
we
also
have
the
csh
study,
which
is
forthcoming.
J
That's
taking
a
more
in-depth
look
at
supportive
housing,
so
our
team
is
engaged
in
researching
all
the
efforts
going
into
that
april
through
july
again,
we'll
be
generating
testing
those
new
ideas
and
then
look
to
bring
some
initiatives
forth
to
city
council
in
july
and
august.
We'll
obviously
be
circling
back
to
update
you
as
we
go
through
this
process,
and
many
of
you
will
probably
be
a
part
of
the
conversation
in
terms
of
the
stakeholder
interviews
that
we
have.
I
think
that's
our
last
slide.
F
Thank
you
maybe
for
kyle
or
leon
either
one
feel
free
to
jump
in
in
that
sort
of
in-depth
research
area.
I'm
just
curious
if
you've
found
any
unique
ways
or
opportunities
or
seen
any
success
in
reaching
some
of
our
under
represented
and
under
you
know,
communities
that
aren't
able
to
engage
as
much
as
that.
We
would
typically
love
to
see
them
engage,
and
I
don't
know
if
this
has
given
you
any
opportunities
to
engage
with
them
more
and
if
there's
any
ways
that
we
can
kind
of
duplicate
those
efforts
into
other
things.
I
I
I'll
take
that
question.
Madam
mayor
council
member,
we
are
at
the
very
beginning
of
that
stakeholder
interview
phase,
so
I
won't
pretend
like
we
found
any
silver
bullet
yet,
but
I
do
think
the
critical
piece
is
rather
than
forcing
folks
to
come
to
us
in
a
community
environment.
How
can
we
go
to
them
and
talk
to
them
in
an
environment
they
feel
comfortable
in
whether
it's
their
home
or
their
workplace
or
in
times
like
this?
Maybe
it's
still
zoom
but
being
able
to
have
that
kind
of
one-on-one.
I
Conversation
with
folks
is
a
very
different
environment
than
having
folks
come
to
a
community
conversation
or
a
listening
session
where
they
might
not
get
heard,
and
so
I
think
that
will
be
critical
but
of
course,
we're
engaging
in
some
of
the
same
kind
of
tactics
we
have
in
other
areas
where
trying
to
connect
with
folks
through
trusted
community
members
through
community
organizations
as
a
way
to
chat
with
those
folks.
Of
course,
we
have
to
be
careful
too
right,
because
for
a
lot
of
folks
who
may
have
had
you
know,
are
experiencing
housing.
I
Instability
may
have
had
a
lot
of
trauma
in
their
past,
seeking
them
out
to
talk
about
their
experience,
could
may
not
be
the
most
trauma-informed
response
right,
so
we're
trying
to
really
be
careful
about
how
we
do
that
as
well,
so
that
folks
feel
comfortable
telling
their
story
in
a
safe
environment.
F
Madam
mayor,
just
quick,
follow
up
sure,
yeah
kyle
thanks
so
much
for
for
that
explanation.
One
of
the
things
that
I'm
excited
about
with
this
whole
project
is
to
see
what
efforts
can
be
duplicated
in
the
other
things
that
we
do
with
the
city
beyond
housing
and
so
I'll,
be
really
interested
to
see
what
sort
of
success
and
what
sort
of
strategies
come
out
of
that
engagement
and
communication
project
process
with
our
our
community
members,
because
that
definitely
seems
like
something
that
we
can
do
across
the
board.
Thank
you.
I
Madam
mayor
council
member,
I
think
that's
a
really
great
point
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
intentionally
selected
members
of
this
core
team
from
across
city
departments.
The
hope
is
that
they
can
learn
some
of
these
techniques
and
bring
them
back
to
the
work
that
they're
doing
right.
So
this
may
not
be
about
recycling,
but
when
we
launch
a
new
recycling
program
right,
we
have
somebody
who
knows
these
skills
and
can
approach
that
problem.
In
that
way,.
G
Go
ahead.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
Thank
you
kyle.
Thank
you
leon.
So
one
one
of
the
things
that
I
thought
was
really
wonderful
about.
Our
census.
Work
last
year
was
that
we
cultivated
those
relationships
with
many
folks,
in
typically
underrepresented
communities
within
boise.
It
would
be
great
if
we
could
reach
out
to
those
folks.
G
Tester
is
it's
one
of
the
most
painful
experiences
I've
ever
had
in
my
life,
because
you
know
people
don't
discriminate
in
the
ways
that
we
would
think
they
do
it
with
a
smile,
they're,
very
nice.
But
then,
when
you
look
at
the
data-
and
you
realize
oh,
this
person
denied
me
housing
and
the
proof
is
there
there's
no
denying
it,
even
though
they
were
very
nice
when
they
did
it.
I
G
Mayor
council,
I
I
appreciate
kyle
what
you
said
earlier
about
you
know
talking
to
folks
about
the
trauma
that
they've
experienced
in
in
their
housing.
I
am
one
of
those
people
and
I
would
be
happy
to
be
available
to
help
with
that,
because
the
reality
is,
you
know
difficult
challenging
things
happen
to
us,
and
the
only
thing
that
would
make
it
worse
is
to
not
use
that
experience
to
help
make
things
better,
which
is
what
myself
and
a
lot
of
folks
have
chosen
to
do.
G
So
I'd
be
happy
to
to
mine
that
in
service
to
our
community.
I
Madam
mayor
council
member,
I'm
so
glad
you
said
that,
because
I
believe
you
are
on
our
list
of
stakeholders,
so
somebody
will
be
reaching
out
to
you
on
that
front.
I
think
it's
a
really
great
point
about
building
on
some
of
the
successes
we've
had
with
the
census,
outreach
and
leveraging
those
relation
relationships
and
partnerships
for
this,
and
so
we'll
be
looking
to
do
that
as
well.
A
E
Go
ahead.
Thank
you.
This
is
great
discussion.
I'm
happy
to
hear
more
about
this
initiative
really
happy
to
hear
about
an
initiative.
That's
focused
on
finding
folks
where
they
are
who
are
who
are
the
ones
who
can
benefit
from
whatever
actions
we
take.
We
often
hear
from
from
folks
who
think
they're
going
to
be
impacted
by
it,
but
we
don't
often
hear
from
the
folks
who
might
benefit
from
action.
So
this
is,
I
think,
a
really
important
step
question.
E
I
didn't
hear
you
talk
about
the
private
sector
and
how
they're
going
to
be
engaged
in
this,
and
I
ask
because
I
think
that
this
is
a
a
problem.
That's
way
too
big
for
government
in
general,
but
especially
a
city
like
the
city
of
boise
to
sell
by
ourselves.
So
I'm
assuming
that
part
of
the
engagement
will
include
private
sector
but
developers,
but
wonder
if
you
could
expound
on
that
a
bit.
B
I
I
feel
like
I'm
doing
all
the
talking.
I
can
let
leon
take
away,
but
I'll
say
definitely,
you
know
we're
looking
at
engaging
different
stakeholder
groups
and
some
of
those
will
include
folks,
like
developers
who
are
doing
this
work
and
others
who
are
who
are
interested
in
this
work,
not
just
kind
of
those
folks
experiencing
housing
instability.
I
think
it's
a
great
point,
but
I'll
I'll
defer
to
leon.
J
J
We
will
be
engaging
with
affordable
housing
developers,
but
those
also
who
you
know
maybe
again
have
never
really
touched:
housing,
affordability
and-
and
you
know,
interestingly
enough-
I
I've
there's
a
bit
of
optimism
here
on
a
tuesday
morning,
but
I'm
I'm
experiencing
the
sense
of
altruism
in
the
development
community,
where
a
lot
of
folks
are
starting
to
realize.
Like
okay,
I'm
I'm
profiting
a
lot
off
of
housing
in
this
community,
and
you
know
what
role
can
I
play
to
to
help
the
bigger
pictures?
J
So
I
think
we've
kind
of
got
this
interesting
spirit
in
the
community
right
now
that
I
hope
this
program
and
other
efforts
can
capture.
I
think
it's
a
excuse
me
a
perfect
time
to
have
that
conversation
so.
G
Later
go
ahead,
thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
in
terms
of
the
folks
that
you're
engaging
with
specifically,
we
are
including
renters,
correct.
A
A
K
It's
really
nice
to
see
everyone
and
certainly
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
be
here
today
and
and
give
you
all
an
update
on
our
climate
action
initiatives
thought
it
would
be
good
to
start
this
morning
with
just
some
brief
background
on
the
formation
of
the
climate
action
division.
K
As
you
all
are
aware,
our
team
was
formed
last
fall
to
work
together
with
marin
council
to
develop
and
frame
climate
policies
to
lead
implementation
of
our
climate
action
and
greenhouse
gas
emissions
reductions
to
carry
forward
our
prior
work
on
energy
policy
and
programs
to
work
on
related
programs
like
sustainability
and
air
quality
that
have
now
been
moved
into
and
are
part
of
the
division
and
then
to
measure
and
track
progress
through
climate
and
energy
data
and
metrics.
K
Additionally,
the
division
helps
coordinate
with
all
of
our
departments
and
external
stakeholders
on
climate
action
implementation,
and
then
we
support
the
range
of
other
climate-related
programs
across
the
city,
some
of
which
I'll
touch
on
in
the
next
slide.
Here
wanted
to
start
with.
A
few
recent
highlights
before
we
moved
into
a
project,
update
we're
seeing
good
trends
in
our
work
to
reduce
the
city's
carbon
footprint.
K
In
looking
at
our
municipal
greenhouse
gas
emissions
inventory,
we
note
a
16
reduction
from
2015
down
to
2018
and
we'll
touch
a
little
more
on
those
inventories
in
the
subsequent
slides.
But
that
downward
trend
is
a
good
indication.
There
may
be
some
year-to-year
fluctuations
as
we
go
forward,
but
certainly
all
in
all,
I
think
we're
headed
in
the
right
direction
there
and
some
of
the
items
that
are
contributing
to
that
come
from
a
wide
range
of
programs
across
the
city
and
perhaps
not
those
that
we
might
think
of
as
typically
climate
action.
K
Recently,
the
police
micro
district
building
was
remodeled
and
the
decision
was
made
to
have
that
building
be
all
electric
to
serve
as
a
pilot
potentially
for
other
city
facility,
remodels
or
new
construction,
and
then
additionally
republic
services,
the
city's,
refuse
hauler,
will
be
in
the
process
of
deploying
as
many
as
10
electric
trash
trucks
over
the
next
one
to
two
years
once
these
are
all
on
the
ground.
This
will
be
about
15
of
their
fleet,
that's
out
and
about
any
given
day
collecting
trash
recycling
and
compost.
K
So
that
is
certainly
an
exciting
development
and
will
help
to,
I
think,
promote
fleet
electrification
in
those
large
type
vehicles
in
other
other
private
public
sector
entities
and
then
finally
wanted
to
note
the
important
work
of
the
city
of
trees
challenge.
K
We've
been
working
on
the
roadmap
since
the
early
fall
and
are
getting
ready
to
close
in
on
a
draft
for
consideration,
that's
being
reviewed
by
staff
currently
and
we'll
work
to
get
that
rolled
out
and
get
some
community
feedback
on
it,
probably
in
late
february
or
early
march.
That
road
map
will
really
help
guide
the
work
that
we
do
go
for
going
forward
in
the
near
term
and
long
term
and
likely
establish
a
carbon
neutrality
goal
for
the
community.
K
In
addition
to
that,
community-facing
work
we're
also
starting
work
on
mapping
that
out
for
for
our
emissions
within
the
municipal
government
as
well,
we'll
work
on
that
through
this
year
and
anticipate
having
that
completed
in
the
summer
time.
K
Another
project
that's
active
currently
is
what
was
previously
referred
to
as
the
environmental,
justice,
community,
health
and
equity
based
line,
we're
tentatively
calling
that
to
the
clean
city
index,
and
that
is
an
effort
to
help
understand
baseline
conditions
around
those
issues
across
the
city
and
then
help
prioritize
specifically
with
respect
to
climate
action,
implementation,
particular
parts
of
the
city
that
might
benefit
from,
for
example,
tree
planning
or
targeted
energy
efficiency
programs
or
many
of
the
various
activities
that
we
might
do
related
to
climate
action
or
potentially
other
city
services.
K
I
mentioned
previously
greenhouse
gas
emissions
inventories.
The
city
has
historically
developed
those
for
both
the
community
and
and
our
municipal
operations
on
a
five-year
interval
starting
back
in
2000,
starting
in
2018.
We've
worked
to
update
those
on
an
annual
basis
going
forward.
Our
2018
inventories
are
complete
and
have
been
publicly
released
for
the
first
time,
so
those
are
out
and
available
for
the
community
to
review
we're
closing
in
on
the
completion
of
2019
and
then,
as
data
comes
in
across
this
year,
we'll
look
to
release
the
2020
inventory.
K
Additionally,
we've
got
a
number
of
projects
happening
related
to
the
implementation
of
boise's
energy
future.
As
mayor
and
council
remember
that
city
adopted
that
plan
in
2019
and
the
associated
goals
for
clean
electricity
that
came
along
with
it.
So
we've
been
working
actively
in
a
number
of
areas:
first,
to
increase
energy
efficiency
program
participation
across
the
community
from
residents
and
businesses.
K
The
first
set
of
data
that
we
have
in
for
2019
from
idaho
power
is
showing
a
good
participation
across
the
city
in
those
programs.
So
we're
excited
to
see
that
continue
and
hopefully
increase
that
going
forward.
K
We've
also
been
active
in
discussions
around
renewable
energy
procurement,
looking
at
opportunities
for
the
city
as
a
customer,
customer
or
other
large
energy
users,
or
even
small
energy
users
at
the
household
level,
to
have
a
different
opportunity
to
procure
renewable
electricity
from
the
utility
provider
modeling
that
work
on
efforts
that
have
happened
in
other
states
and
with
other
utilities
related
to
that
we're
very
active
with
the
public
utilities
commission
ensuring
our
involvement
in
various
cases
that
deal
with
energy
efficiency
or
renewable
energy,
making
sure
the
city's
perspectives
are
provided
in
those
proceedings
and
hopefully
ensuring
outcomes
that
benefit
our
goals
and
strategies
that
are
identified
in
boise's
energy
future.
K
The
thermal
energy
strategy
council
may
recall
when
boise's
energy
future
was
adopted.
We
set
very
clear
and
numeric
goals
for
electricity,
but
on
our
thermal
energy
side
with
our
natural
gas
and
geothermal,
the
planning
and
goal
setting
was
not
as
detailed
and
when
that
came
to
council
for
approval,
you
all
directed
staff
to
take
a
harder
look
at
that
a
little
more
quickly
than
we
had
anticipated.
So
we
are
and
have
embarked
on
that
thermal
energy
strategy.
K
Again,
that's
a
first
half
of
this
year
project
so
we'll
certainly
keep
you
all
up
to
speed
as
we
make
progress
there,
but
likely
looking
to
come
back
sometime
this
summer
with
some
additional
details
there
and
then
the
new
program
for
this
year
in
the
budget
was
energy
and
water
efficiency
for
vulnerable
communities.
K
We're
just
getting
started
with
that
effort,
so
certainly
more
to
come
there.
But
I
wanted
to
mention
that,
as
it
was
a
budget
priority
for
the
year.
K
K
A
significant
majority
of
our
emissions
come
from
the
electricity
that
we
use
in
our
buildings
and
our
water
renewal
facilities,
and
we
know
with
the
work
that
we've
done
in
boise's
energy
future
we're
on
a
good
path
to
move
towards
100
clean
electricity,
so
that
shifts
our
focus
to
moving
the
other
energy
sources
that
we
use
in
our
building
and
our
fleet
vehicles
to
electricity
or
other
clean
sources.
K
We're
currently
analyzing
a
group
of
our
buildings
to
determine
the
feasibility
of
shifting
their
energy
use
to
all
electric
while
incorporating
opportunities
to
make
them
more
efficient
and
then,
additionally,
we're
also
evaluating
opportunities
within
the
motor
pool,
which
are
the
vehicles
that
you
see
downstairs
when
you
come
and
go
in
the
basement
to
convert
them
to
electric
vehicles
where
appropriate.
K
Given
the
sort
of
periodic
use
of
a
lot
of
those
vehicles
and
and
short
distance
nature
of
the
trips,
a
lot
of
those
will
be
well
suited
to
converting
to
the
types
of
electric
vehicles
that
are
available
currently
so
we're
coordinating
with
fleet
services
to
take
a
look
at
that
and
see
what
opportunities
exist
and
what
might
be
able
to
be
funded
with,
with
the
end-of-year
funds
that
are
provided.
K
In
addition,
we'll
also
be
looking
at
any
necessary
charging
infrastructure.
Of
course,
that
will
have
to
be
incorporated
along
to
accommodate
the
addition
of
those
vehicles.
K
So
we're
certainly
excited
to
finish
these
analysis
and
evaluations
for
the
buildings
for
the
fleet
vehicles
and
then
update
council
accordingly
about
where
we
might
be
headed
with
those
particular
projects.
As
we
progress
through
the
end
of
the
year,
I
will
also
anticipate
being
back
soon
with
more
updates
and
details
on
the
climate
action
roadmap
and
look
forward
to
sharing
those
with
you
all,
and
that
comes
to
the
end
of
my
slides.
So
I'll
be
glad
to
answer
any
questions.
B
Steve,
thank
you.
So
much
is
our
greenhouse
gas
inventory
publicly
available
right
now.
K
Madam
mayor
council,
member
bajan,
yes,
currently,
the
2015
and
2018
inventories
and
a
comparison
of
the
two
are
posted
on
the
city
website.
B
Thank
you
if
I
can
quickly
follow
up
when
we
passed
the
budget
last
summer,
we
had
a
few
things
that
we
directed
or
suggested
or
asked,
and
based
on
this
presentation,
you
pit
them
all.
It's
amazing.
Thank
you
so
much.
I
know
a
lot
of
people
really
cared
about
that
and
had
a
lot
of
conversations
with
us
privately
about
that.
You
made
a
commitment
last
summer
and
you've
delivered
on
it.
K
E
Thank
you,
steve,
like
councilmember
beijing,
I
want
to
congratulate
you
on
how
much
you
guys
have
gotten
done
recently,
it's
great
to
see
so
much
progress
so
quickly.
E
As
I
looked
at
your
pie
chart,
it
was
obvious
that
our
next
two
areas,
where
we
likely
to
make
the
biggest
impact,
would
be
public
works
facilities
and
various
government
buildings
and
just
wondered
if
you
given
the
progress
today
if
you've
begun,
we
we
know
that
we
have
a
strategy
in
public
works.
Given
our
recent
public
works
presentation
and
how
they're
going
to
go
forward
in
really
updating
their
facilities,
especially
the
waste
water
renewal
facilities.
E
E
If,
if
we
wanted
to-
and
maybe
you
know,
identify
what
are
the
highest
use,
energy
buildings
and
you
know,
put
them
in
a
different
category
and
then
the
ones
that
maybe
are
are
lower
use,
but
there's
pretty
easy
strategies
that
we
could
implement
and
and
try
to
bite.
Those
off
just
wondered
if
you've
begun
to
develop
a
strategy
on
that.
K
K
I
think,
certainly
recently,
those
discussions
have
shifted
a
little
bit
towards
electrification,
but
I
think
there's
certainly
an
opportunity
to
merge
those
two
areas
as
we
go
forward
and,
as
you
recall,
back
a
couple
slides
for
me,
both
the
municipal
climate
action
roadmap
and
the
thermal
energy
strategy,
I
think
have
pieces
of
some
of
the
questions
that
you're
getting
at
there
and
we'll
provide
an
opportunity.
K
I
think,
to
lay
out
what
those
strategies
are
in
a
little
more
detail
and
and
to
bring
those
back
and
have
counsel,
give
us
confirmation
and
direction
on
what
the
concepts
and
paths
forward
there
in
those
areas
are.
E
Thank
you
follow
up.
If
I
may
so
steve
early
on,
we
began
to
energize
our
neighborhoods
to
do
some
community
education
around
energy
efficiency
and
a
little
bit
around
electrification,
but
mostly
around
energy
efficiency.
It
seems
to
me,
as
we
go
forward.
You
know.
Not
only
are
those
buildings,
a
big
piece
of
our
portfolio
in
terms
of
energy
use,
they're,
certainly
a
big
piece
in
terms
of
the
rest
of
the
community
as
well,
especially
existing
buildings.
E
So
as
we
go
forward,
it
would
be
good
as
you
develop
this
strategy
to
also
develop
a
strategy
of
how
to
share
what
we
learn
with
our
community
members,
but
also
perhaps
develop
a
strategy
to
encourage
or
incent
them
to
also
get
on
board
in
terms
of
some
of
the
the
improvements
that
could
be
made
to
lower
their
own
energy
use.
K
Madam
mayor
council,
member
council
president,
thank
you
for
those
comments.
One
thing
I
didn't
mention
in
this
slide
is
council.
Al
also
prioritized
the
hiring
of
an
energy
program
manager
with
the
fy
21
budget.
K
I'm
really
excited
to
report
that
our
our
manager
started
yesterday,
certainly
both
on
a
professional
and
a
personal
level
in
terms
of
capacity
for
our
team
and
certainly
there's
a
ton
of
opportunity
to
share
both
the
availability
of
of
existing
efficiency
programs
that
our
utilities
offer
certainly
case
studies
in
our
own
facilities
and-
and
I
appreciate
the
acknowledgement
of
our
facilities
as
significant
energy
users
in
the
community.
Just
just
for
council's
reference.
K
Our
facilities
collectively
use
about
two
percent
of
the
electricity
in
the
entire
city,
so
it
doesn't
sound
significant,
but
when
you
think
about
the
vast
number
of
accounts,
it
is
so,
I
think,
there's
a
great
opportunity
for
us
to
lead
by
example
and
then
share
that
that
knowledge
and
information
with
the
community
to
hopefully
encourage
their
participation
as
well.
E
G
Madam,
thank
you
steve.
Thank
you
so
much
for
providing
this
great
information.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
truly
committing
to
learning
as
much
as
you
can
about
the
issues
of
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion.
G
I'm
thinking
in
terms
of
you
know
the
brown
water
issue
that
we
have
up
on
the
bench.
I
mean.
That's
something
that's
been
brought
to
our
attention
for
quite
some
time
and
I
think
folks,
looking
from
the
outside
in
wonder
why
that's
still
an
issue,
and
it
perhaps
is
it
because
people
who
live
in
that
particular
part
of
our
city
are
not
viewed
as
being
at
a
particularly
high
socioeconomic
level
and
when
those
things
are
brought
to
our
attention.
G
K
Madam
mayor
council,
member
sanchez,
thank
you
for
that
question.
So
what
we're
looking
to
do
with
the
environmental
justice
baseline,
slash,
clean
city
index
is
start
to
identify
on
a
geographic
basis
where
some
of
our
issues
might
exist
around
environmental
justice,
around
equity,
around
community
health,
and
certainly
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
work.
That's
been
done,
previous
to
our
current
efforts
with
energize
with
some
of
the
work
that's
been
done
in
housing
and
community
development.
K
What
we're
looking
to
do
is
sort
of
build
on
and
supplement
that
work
kind
of
specific
in
some
ways
to
the
environmental
justice
question
was,
which
hasn't
been
specifically
evaluated
in
the
past
and
and
maybe
without
commenting
specifically
on,
particularly
on
those
issues
that
you
raised.
K
I
think
certainly
the
index
gives
us
a
toolkit
in
going
forward
with
programming
or
with
outreach
or
with
community
engagement,
to
touch
and
reach
those
communities
that
might
have
been
historically
represent
underrepresented
or
to
address
those
types
of
environmental
justice
challenges
and
perhaps
a
more
forward-facing
manner
than
they
have
been
in
the
past.
G
Thank
you,
steve,
just
a
quick
follow-up.
Madam
mayor,
one
thing
I
know,
as
somebody
who
comes
from
a
low-income
background,
is
there
isn't
an
appreciation
for
the
conservation
type
efforts
that
poor
people
do
just
because
of
survival?
And
I
know
that's
that's
something
that
I've
seen
missing
from
from
that
movement
is
an
inclusive
approach.
To
that
you
know
not
all
of
us
are
going
to
have
electric
cars
that
sort
of
thing,
but
just
because
of
the
nature
of
the
way
we
move
through
this
life
at
that
socioeconomic
level.
G
We
have
to
be
wise
with
our
resources,
and
I
know
I
would
like
to
see
recognition
of
that
recognition
that
there
are
folks
who
do
engage
in
that
type
of
behavior
out
of
necessity,
but
I
don't
know
that
it
has
the
same
value
when
we
think
of
conservation
efforts
at
a
higher
level
and
if
there's
a
way
that
we
can
be
inclusive
in
the
way.
We
acknowledge
that
work
of
folks
who
are
doing
it
at
a
very
basic
level,
but
it
is,
it
is
conservation
work.
I
know
for
myself.
G
I
was
happy
to
learn
that
my
personal
hero,
dolores
huerta,
who
is
most
well
known
for
her
works
in
advocating
for
farm
workers,
but
her
efforts
in
the
conservation
movement
began
with
conserving
the
people
and
protecting
people
from
being
exposed
to
pesticides
and
the
conservation
movement
that
I
recognize
seems
to
be
focused
on
the
food
that's
covered
in
pesticides.
So
that's
an
example
of
where
I
would
like
to
see
us
be
inclusive
in
the
way
we
talk
about
these
conservation
efforts
that
it
does
include
people
at
all
socioeconomic
levels.
K
Madam
mayor
council,
member
sanchez
appreciate
those
comments
and
you
know
have
enjoyed
having
some
of
those
conversations
with
you
in
the
dei
initiatives.
I
I
think
I
just
mentioned
a
couple
things
in
response
to
that.
K
First,
as
we
convene
with
our
our
peers
nationally
across
cities,
the
discussion
in
a
lot
of
ways
in
the
last
year
has
has
pivoted
from
sort
of
the
technical,
climate
and
energy
issues
that
we
typically
discuss
to
conversations
around
equity
conversations
around
reaching
frontline
communities,
so
so
we're
certainly
listening
and
learning
and
have
a
lot
a
lot
to
learn
and
a
lot
of
opportunity
there.
K
I
also
wanted
to
mention
just
from
a
staffing
perspective.
In
addition
to
the
energy
program
manager,
the
community
engagement
team
also
recently
brought
on
a
climate
communications
coordinator
to
help
support
our
climate
efforts
to
to
help
us
technical
folks
talk
better
to
the
community.
So
we're
certainly
excited
to
see
how
that
staff
can
help,
supplement
our
work
and
and
help
us
with
the
goal
of
of
reaching
those
frontline
communities
and
the
folks
that
you
mentioned.
F
Steve
I'll
I'll
reiterate
the
congratulations
on
you
know
the
accomplishments
and
the
thankfulness
for
all
the
hard
work
done,
and
then
you
know
thankfulness
for
for
listening
to
council
president
pro
tem
sanchez
and
some
of
those
requests.
Sometimes
I
think
language
is
such
a
big
deal
in
how
we
talk
and
and
the
words
that
we
use
one
of
the
things
I
saw
on
the
the
chart
that
you
had
on
the
on
the
last
slide
there.
I
think
it
was
eight
percent
for
was
it
employee
commuting.
Is
that
correct?
F
That's
correct
and
I'm
just
a
little
curious
about
that
statistic,
and
if
that
is,
if
that's
something
that
we're
looking
at
from
from
year
to
year,
if
that
was
2020,
you
know
during
covid
when
there
wasn't
as
much
remote
commuting
and
how
significant
is
that
eight
percent,
when
looking
at
this
total
effort.
K
K
So
we,
you
know,
we
source
those
numbers
from
a
variety
of
different
factors,
primarily
from
approved
protocols
that
a
lot
of
cities
around
the
country
use
that
particular
data
point
for
boise
has
been
gleaned
the
past
couple
years
from
a
study
that
was
done
of
how
staff
commutes
to
work.
It's
it's
a
few
years
old,
so
it
likely
needs
some
updating,
but
that's
how
that
data
point
is
being
generated
and
certainly
that's
something
we'll
we'll
discuss
internally.
F
A
All
right,
well,
it
looks
like
everybody's
had
their
questions
or
comments
made.
I
just
want
to
say
this:
we're
going
to
move
into
an
executive
session
next,
but
if
I
didn't
have
to
have
a
mask
on,
you
would
have
seen
me
in
all
of
these.
Presentations
really
smiling,
because
this
has
been
this
last
year
has
been
rough
on
the
community
rough
on
our
staff.
A
But
I
really
appreciate
that
with
the
team
of
people
that
we
have
at
the
city
of
boise
and
partnership
with
all
of
you,
as
council
members
in
the
community,
that
we've
been
able
to
stay
focused
on
the
priorities
that
we
brought
last
year
at
this
time.
That
we
said
were
our
priorities:
around
housing,
climate,
innovation,
economic
development,
community
support
and,
of
course,
addressing
investments
around
the
city
and
parks,
and
so
