There's
I
just
see
three
council
members
right
now
and
patrick.
I
guess
there
and
it's
one
two
three
four
five
is
patrick
joining.
If
patrick
just
makes
some
noise,
we'll
then
see
him
great
okay,
at
least
now.
I
can
see
all
six,
that's
what
I
needed
and
we'll
welcome
everybody
clerk.
Will
you
go
ahead
and
call
the
roll
we'll
call
the
meeting
to
order
agent.
E
F
A
Thank
you
welcome
everybody.
So
this
is
the
beginning
of
a
new
way
of
doing
remote
meetings.
Where
we'll
just
have
one
council
person
present
I'll,
say
this
again,
I
guess
at
six
o'clock
when
people
are
here,
but
all
of
our
staff
are
also
on
the
zoom,
along
with
five
of
our
council
members.
So,
first
off
we
have
two
items
today.
A
First
off
we
have
chief
lee
with
an
update
on
police
policies
and
just
in
kicking
that
off
the
chief
has
been
with
us,
was
it
it
was
four
or
five
sessions
that
the
chief
joined
city
council
at
work
sessions
to
review
a
list
of
things
that
the
council
members
had
asked
to
take
a
look
at
and
policies
procedures,
trainings,
etc,
and
today
is
back
with
us
to
walk
through
the
changes
that
he's
made
in
the
time
that
he's
been
here,
I'm
at
the
behest
of
council
and
in
my
office
and
then
with
a
proposal
for
how
we
can
get
feedback
from
the
public
on
some
proposed
changes,
and
so
with
that
I'll
ask
chief
lee
to
jump
into
his
presentation
and
then
I
think
there'll
also
be
links
for
the
public.
A
G
G
A
G
Perfect,
so
my
apologies
for
my
my
technical
skills
there,
I'd
like
to
thank
city
council
for
this
opportunity
to
speak
to
you
tonight
and
to
provide
an
update
on
policing
in
our
community
and
so
first
off
I'd
really
like
to
thank
council
for
their
involvement
and
guidance
in
helping
with
the
police
department.
After
my
arrival
here
and
based
on
concerns
raised
by
council
members
and
the
public
over
the
summer,
the
boise
police
department
has
completed
the
following
initiatives.
G
We've
been
working
under
an
updated
draft
policy
for
public
order,
policing
or
what
more
commonly
referred
to
as
crowd
management.
This
includes
a
new
planning
process
and
the
assignment
of
liaison
officers
to
all
groups
that
may
be
involved
in
any
form
of
protest
activity.
As
the
mayor
and
council
mentioned
in
the
news
release
earlier,
there
will
be
a
survey
available
for
community
to
fill
out
about
policing
and
public
safety
feedback
related
crowd
management
is
one
of
the
topics
that
the
public
has
the
opportunity
to
address.
G
We've
also
enhanced
our
crisis
intervention
training.
So
all
officers
who
have
not
already
received
the
40
hours
of
crisis
intervention
training,
which
is
the
national
standard
for
specialized
crisis
intervention
teams
and
is
going
to
be
the
baseline
for
every
officer
in
the
city
of
boise.
They
are
scheduled
to
receive
it.
The
pandemic
has
had
us
stretch
out
because
of
class
sizes.
We've
had
to
stretch
out
how
long
that
training
is
taking
to
deliver.
So
we
had
hoped
to
be
done.
Close
to
your
end
is
going
to
stretch
into
next
year.
G
Just
so
we
can
keep
those
class
sizes.
Safe,
two
classes
have
already
occurred.
Cit
training
can
reduce
the
number
of
arrests
and
citizens
with
citizens
experiencing
mental
illness,
while
simultaneously
increasing
the
likelihood
that
individuals
will
receive
mental
health
services.
That's
part
of
why
we
want
to
emphasize
this
approach
so
much.
G
We
reinforce
the
message
with
officers
that
they
are
to
be
apolitical
and
avoid
any
action
that
could
violate
the
city's
policy
on
political
speech.
So,
for
example,
the
department
stance
of
the
thin
blue
line,
flag
or
symbol
not
be
displayed
on
department
issued
items
vehicles
or
outside
officers
is
similar
to
other
prohibitions
on
political
activities
on
city
property.
G
G
The
boise
police
department's
also
updated
our
implicit
bias,
training
and
officers
will
go
through
this
updated
training
in
december.
This
training
discusses
new
content,
including
procedural
justice
and
its
corresponding
elements.
The
training
also
includes
recorded
interviews
from
community
members.
G
These
videos
allow,
for
especially
under
these
times
as
close
to
in-person
representation
and
perspective
from
individuals
who
have
personal
experience
with
bias
and
provide
recommendations
to
our
officers
from
our
community
members
on
ways
to
counteract
it.
This
training
was
developed
using
a
variety
of
sources,
including
research
from
dr
bryant
marks
of
morehouse
university,
with
a
national
training
institute
on
race
and
equity
and
dr
kimberly
khan,
the
associate
professor
professor
of
social
psychology
at
portland
state
university
in
lead
of
the
gender
race
and
sexual
prejudice
lab.
G
I'd
like
to
add
that
the
team
here
at
the
boise
police
department
that
was
able
to
compile
this
training
update
it
revise
it,
connect
with
the
community
members
and
capture.
This
information
did
an
incredible
job,
especially
in
light
of
the
challenges
of
the
pandemic
and
with
the
time
constraints,
knowing
that
we
wanted
to
start
delivering
this
training
prior
to
years
in
because
of
the
importance
it
holds
to
the
community.
G
We
have
several
initiatives
that
are
still
in
progress
and
are
awaiting
input,
and
I
would
ask
respectfully
that
the
the
council
weigh
in
on
some
of
these
issues
and
express
to
us
the
best
way
to
move
forwards.
So
the
following
initiatives
are
in
the
final
stages
and
again
I
really
look
forward
to
your
input
on
them.
G
G
Best
practice
would
be
to
classify
it
as
a
deadly
force
in
the
new
policy,
and
we
have
a
draft
policy
which
is
on
review
as
part
of
a
complete
review
of
the
use
of
force
policy,
we're
looking
to
add
clarity,
definitions
and
to
make
sure
that
it
is
more
comprehensive.
In
addition
to
being
in
line
with
best
practices,
part
of
the
desire
to
do
that
is
not
only
make
the
policy
in
a
single
place
single
shop,
more
understandable
for
our
members,
but
also
for
the
public
as
well.
G
The
boise
police
department
is
reviewing
its
own
pursuit
policy
and
working
with
other
agencies
with
a
goal
of
entering
into
a
county-wide
agreement
on
pursuit
management.
The
boise
police
department
is
in
favor
of
a
strict
pursuit
policy
and
would
like
to
be
in
alignment
with
other
local
agencies
whose
pursuits
may
enter
into
our
city
limits.
G
G
Well,
you
will
be
receiving
a
memorandum
regarding
the
school
resource
officer
program
in
your
friday
packet.
I
know
that
council
has
asked
about
that.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
were
able
to
provide
more
information
than
could
be
provided
here
in
a
work
session
to
include
history
of
the
programs,
its
goals
and
how
the
boise
police
department,
school
resource
officer
program
differs
from
most
other
programs
in
the
united
states.
G
G
We
haven't
for
life
description
thrown
the
live
switch
on
them,
yet
we
understand
we're
still
missing
a
lot
of
data
that
we've
been
asked
to
provide
we're
working
to
build
the
infrastructure
and
mechanisms
to
actually
accurately
capture
that
information,
but
these
two
dashboards
have
been
created
for
calls
for
service
and
response
times
we're
working
on,
creating
a
way
to
capture
resonance,
resonant,
stop
data
and
use
of
force
data
to
allow
public-facing
dashboards
in
the
future.
This
data
will
include
demographic
information.
I
know
that's
been
very
important
to
council
as
well.
G
G
H
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
good,
to
see
you
chiefly
regards
to
these
dashboards.
Will
we
have
those
in
multiple
languages
chief.
G
That
that
is
the
long-term
goal
right
now,
we've
thrown
them
live
as
they
present
here,
so
they
are
public
facing
now
with
just
these
two
dashboards.
I
think
I
misspoke
and
said
that
we're
waiting
to
throw
the
switch
live
earlier.
They
are
alive
as
of
today
for
the
public,
but
the
goal
is
to
make
them
accessible
to
every
member
of
the
community.
G
We
also
have
a
number
of
projects
that
are
still
in
progress,
and
I
look
forward
to
your
thoughts
on
prioritization.
Some
of
the
projects
will
include
a
complete
reorganization
and
rewrite
a
policy
revision
of
three
critical
policies.
Forced
discipline,
pursuit
as
I've
already
mentioned,
are
in
progress,
but
there
are
multiple
additional
areas
of
concern
where
existing
policy
doesn't
reflect
national
best
practice
and
therefore
may
subject
the
city
to
liability.
G
Given
the
scope
of
the
initiative
to
restructure
and
rewrite
the
entire
manual,
it
may
be
necessary
to
contract
or
consult
with
a
firm
or
an
individual
with
the
needed
skill
set.
There
was
an
effort
in
previous
administrations
to
just
for
lack
of
air
description
to
streamline
the
manual,
so
it
was
more
digestible
by
the
public.
I
think
in
some
of
that
effort.
With
that
being
the
focus,
we
may
have
inadvertently
created
areas
that
we
do
now
need
to
build
out
more
given
boise's
location
on
an
interstate
highway
and
information
from
previous
investigations.
G
We
have
completed
a
training
and
needs
assessment
and
are
working
to
update
our
training
and
education
plans
to
continue
to
address
procedural
justice,
continued
implicit
bias,
training
in
constitutional
policing
among
other
topics,
but
we
look
to
counsel
for
any
other
topics
that
they
believe
that
we
should
include
that
may
not
have
been
captured
in
our
initial
internal
training
needs
assessment,
as
it
sits
now.
G
We're
also
looking
at
our
goals
around
recruiting
staffing
and
leadership
development,
with
a
focus
on
recruiting
that
includes
equitable
access
to
employment
for
all
people.
We
want
to
allocate
resources
to
separate
training,
education
and
development
to
its
own
division,
to
emphasize
that
need
to
internally
grow
and
develop
the
culture
here
in
the
police
department.
As
it's
currently
assigned,
it
falls
under
a
single
captain
that
also
manages
the
professional
standards
division,
which
would
include
policy
in
internal
affairs.
G
You
know
we're
grateful
to
live
in
a
city
where
we
can
collaborate
and
prioritize
the
efforts
of
the
police
department,
and
we
appreciate
your
input
and
your
feedback
and
we're
also
looking
forward
to
hearing
from
the
public
about
what
they
have
to
say
or
their
priorities,
and
with
that
I
would
conclude
my
presentation
and
open
it
to
any
questions.
As
I
try
to
stop
screen
sharing.
Let
me
see
if
I
can
pull
this
off.
E
Thanks
for
being
here,
one
just
quick
thing
in
the
memo
we're
gonna
receive
on
sros,
it
would
be
helpful
if
included
in
there
is
the
school's
perspective
and
what
you
know
what
they
think
they
want.
They
need,
etc,
etc.
In
addition
to
everything
else,
you're,
including
if
that's
easy
to
get
that'd,
be
really
great.
I
Madam
mayor,
yes
go
ahead.
Thank
you
also.
I
I'd
like
to
also
thank
you
for
being
here
today,
chiefly,
I
know
you
recognize
how
important
this
has
been
to
the
city
council
to
really
review
these.
I
appreciate
how
quickly
you've
been
able
to
get
at
least
a
foothold
on
so
many
different
subjects.
I
So
just
a
couple
of
comments,
as
you
ask
for
them,
I
do.
I
am
very
supportive
of
the
two
member
behavioral
health
team.
I
think
is
probably
the
most
important
thing
we
could
do
as
we
try
to
as
we
implement.
That
is,
is
to
enhance
our
already.
I
think,
strong
coordination
with
all
the
other
agencies
in
the
valley.
I
I
think,
having
another
team,
will
probably
give
us
more
capacity
to
to
make
that
coordination
a
little
bit
stronger,
because
that
would
be
my
my
biggest
ask
on
that
particular
one
on
the
use
of
force
policy.
I'd
like
to
see
the
updated
discipline
be
included
in
the
policy,
so
it's
really
transparent
to
our
community
members.
What
the
discipline
for
not
following
the
policy
would
be-
or
at
least
an
indexing
to
where
that
discipline
would
be
something
that
will
help
make
that
transparent.
I
If
you
could
I'm
glad
to
see
that
you
are
looking
to
make
that
discipline
policy
more
transparent,
I
think
I
hope
that
our
police
sworn
officers
understand
that
that's
actually
something
that
will
be
good
for
them,
because
it
protects
them
from
being
asked
or
required
to
do
something
that
you
know
being
disciplined
in
a
way
that
is
with
policy
and
not
having
it
be
questioned
whether
or
not
that
discipline
was
carried
out.
So
I
I
really
do
applaud
you
for
making
that
transparent.
I
I
shared
with
you
some
dashboards
from
chattanooga,
I'm
sure
there
are
others.
I've
been
looking
around
so
as
you
go
forward
with
that
dashboard
project,
I
think
there
are
some
resources
around
the
country.
I
In
addition
to
the
good
suggestions,
which
I
know
we
will
get
from
various
community
members
that
might
help
us
understand
how
best
both
to
collect
the
data
and
what
data
collect.
I
think
chattanooga
did
also
have
to
go
through
the
process
of
figuring
out
how
to
collect
demographic
data,
and
it
might
be
worthwhile
communicating
with
them
about
some
of
their
lessons
learned
then.
I
Finally,
I
just
want
to
say
that
adding
the
services
coordination
team
to
that
behavioral
health
team
unit,
I
think,
will
be
really
important
to
making
sure
that
there
is
follow-up.
I
wonder
if
that
particular
team
either
could
sit
outside
of
the
department
as
a
contract,
or
at
least
could
be
non-sworn
civilians.
I
I
think
that
there
would
be
some
benefit
to
doing
it
that
way
in
terms
of
trust
within
the
community,
but
also
in
terms
of
communication
with
the
other
service
providers
and
the
way
that
we
we
can
ensure
that
folks
are
getting
the
best
opportunity
to
receive
services.
Those
would
be
my
suggestions.
I
really
appreciate
the
hard
work
you've
done
today.
C
Go
vladimir
chief
great
to
see
you,
I
was
hoping
to
see
you
at
the
substation
opening
today,
but
congratulations
on
on
getting
that
there
and
hopefully,
we'll
have
an
opportunity
to
celebrate
that
at
some
point.
Councilmember
clay
touched
on
a
lot
of
the
the
things
that
I
was
going
to
talk
about.
The
behavioral
health
response
team
was
something
that
myself
and
other
council
members
were
certainly
pushing
for.
I
guess
my
question,
for
you
is
what
type
of
input
are
you
seeking
for
that
group?
You
mentioned.
G
I
think
that
if,
as
you
have
contact
with
a
community,
if
we
recognize
that
there
are
service
gaps
either
either
through
service
providers,
that
we
may
not
be
connected
with
hours
or
days
at
which
we're
deploying
our
behavioral
health
response
teams,
any
innovation
or
approaches
that
you
hear
from
through
other
legislators
throughout
the
nation
with
their
approaches
that
may
be
beneficial
any
input
along
those
lines
to
help
us
both
craft
and
deploy.
The
program
would
be
appreciated.
C
Yeah,
madam
mayor
chief
lee
thanks
for
that
clarification,
the
the
team
that
you
have
on
right
now
has
done
such
a
great
job
at
networking
with
the
community
and
really
forming
those
relations,
and
I
guess
I
would
just
maybe
encourage
some
of
the
same
stuff
in
the
nonprofit
sector.
That's
probably
serving
a
lot
of
the
people
that
they're
working
with
just
making
sure
that
they're
they're
deeply
connected
because
a
lot
of
times
you
know,
speaking
as
a
non-profit
leader,
we're
the
ones
who
are
calling
for
those
services
directly
and
so
forming.
C
H
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
thank
you
for
the
presentation,
chiefly
a
couple
of
things
about
the
reviewing
of
the
sro
program.
I
I
appreciate
a
council
member
beijing's
request
that
we
ask
the
schools
how
they
feel
about
that
process
and
how
that
system
is
working.
I
would
also
ask
that
we
could
be
sure
to
consult
with
parents
about
how
they
feel
about
having
the
sros
being
on
campus
and
interfacing
with
their
children,
and
also
will
that
demographic
information
be
gathered
about.
H
You
know
what
is
the
racial
and
ethnic
component
of
of
the
students
who
interface
on
an
escalating
level
with
sros.
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
mention.
I
really
applaud
your
commitment
to
wanting
to
diversify
the
bpd
and
doing
recruitment,
doing
outreach
to
diverse
prospects.
H
One
thing
that
we've
learned
over
the
last
few
months
as
the
city
embarks
on
its
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion,
work
that
is
going
to
be
for
the
whole
organization
is
we've
talked
about
how
recruitment
is
is
not
enough
in
in
terms
of
where
we
want
to
be
with
our
organization
that
we
really
have
to
look
at.
H
I
guess
what
we
would
call
the
the
health
of
the
environment
of
of
the
water
that
folks
are
going
to
be
entering,
and
so
I
know
that
we
held
space
for
our
extended
team
for
two
bpd
staff
persons,
and
I
was
just
wondering
if,
if
we
have
that
have
we
got
the
two
people
from
bpd
are
going
to
be
participating
on
our
extended
team.
G
There
is
still
there's
still
lieutenant
labar,
that's
participating
on
the
team,
we're
looking
for
a
suitable
replacement
for
the
other
person
to
participate.
H
Great,
I
it's
only
been
a
short
while
that
we've
been
doing
this
work
with
the
dignitas
agency,
but
I
can't
speak
for
my
colleagues,
but
I
know
I've
been
very
impressed
with
the
work
that
they're
that
they're
bringing
forward
and
and
the
the
training
that
they're
putting
us
through,
and
so
I
I
hope
that
we're
able
to
find
somebody,
I
think
bpd,
would
would
really
benefit
from
this
process
and,
of
course,
would
love
their
input
as
we
move
forward.
So
thank
you
for
your
presentation
today,
chief.
D
D
Folks,
I
think
the
long
term
ask
that
I
would
have
was
that
we
gathered
some
data
and
some
information
on
how
we
can
better
serve
those
vulnerable
citizens
that
they'll
be
interfacing
with,
and
I
think
that
long
term
I
would
hope
that
there's
a
way
that
we
can
more
efficiently
both
use
public
funds
and
lead
to
better
citizen
outcomes
for
a
lot
of
folks,
and
I
think
that
having
that
kind
of
team
would
give
us
the
information
that
we
need
to
make
some
decisions
to
that
end.
So
thank
you.
I
appreciate
it
a
lot.
F
Mayor
t.j
here,
chief
lee,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
information,
I'm
very
supportive
of
all
the
proposed
changes
and
things
you've
done
to
date.
I
think
they've
been
very
good
ones
and
very
much
on
the
pulse
of
this
community.
F
I
am
very
interested
in
what
the
the
results
will
show
and
will
do
my
part
to
try
to
get
that
information
out
to
get
a
good
response.
I've
always
been
very
supportive
of
the
sro
program,
but
I'm
very
interested
in
hearing
what
community
members
think
of
it
all
populations
and
as
councilmember
beijing
said,
the
school
districts,
and
I
would
I
would
include
west
data,
of
course,
my
district
out
here
and
then
just
keep
up
the
good
work.
I
appreciate
this
this
information
and
we'll
keep
moving
forward.
Thank
you.
H
One
last
point
out,
since
the
sro
seems
to
be
something
that
we're
focusing
on
chief.
I
think
it
would
be
great
if,
if
part
of
that
data
collection
would
include
the
students
themselves-
and
you
know
we-
we
tend
to
talk
about
kids
and
sometimes
we
forget
to
consult
with
them,
and
I
think
it
would
be
valuable
to
hear
from
them
what
how
they
feel
about
the
sros
being
in
the
schools.
I
Madam
mayor,
I
guess
just
for
the
public
if
we
could
talk
a
little
bit
about
process
and
what
we're
going
to
do
going
forward
from
here.
I
I
don't
know
that
I
have
all
the
facts,
but
this
is
going
to
the
public
for
some
input
and
obviously
some
of
these
will
be
budget
decisions
as
we
go
forward
with
next
year's
budget.
But
maybe,
if
either
you
or
the
chief
could
talk
about
that,
the
public
would
have
better
understanding
of
how
they
can
give
us
input.
G
I
can
speak
to
it
quickly,
president
clay,
so
there
is
a
survey
that
went
out
today
that
went
live.
I
believe
today
that
would
include
a
variety
of
areas
where
asking
the
public,
essentially
for
their
input
about
prioritization,
open
it
up
to
additional
information
sort
of
a
free-form
box
at
the
end
that
may
not
have
been
included,
but
essentially
lays
out
many
of
the
same
sort
of
initiatives
that
are
in
progress
or
in
flight
asking
them
for
their
input
about
you
know
what
level
should
we
prioritize
this
at?
G
What's
your
additional
concerns
related,
so
that's,
I
think,
at
a
very
high
level.
The
best
way
that
we
could
reach
out,
especially
with
a
pandemic,
was
to
essentially
offer
out
an
electronic
survey.
H
Yes,
go
ahead.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
chief,
I
know
we
we
said
that
eventually,
we'll
we'll
be
getting
those
multiple
languages.
Is
there
a
pulse,
possibility
that
we
at
least
get
it
in
spanish
as
soon
as
possible?
I
I
just
think
it's
important
at
this
point
when
we
do
this
type
of
data
gathering
that
we
do
what
what
we
can
to
at
least
have
things
in
spanish
when
it's
this
important.
G
H
A
Okay,
well,
it
looks
like
everybody's
good.
For
the
time
being,
I
really
appreciate
the
the
work
that
you've
done
on
this
chief
and,
of
course,
the
feedback
that
we
got
from.
So
many
of
the
public
at
the
beginning
of
the
summer
has
helped
us
shape
kind
of
with
you.
The
policy
changes
that
we're
considering.
A
But,
of
course,
we
look
forward
to
hearing
from
the
public
through
the
survey
which
should
be
on
our
website,
for
people
to
find
and
and
then
we'll
have
a
process
through
which
we,
as
you
said,
you'd
help
help
us
prioritize.
The
policy
changes
that
that
are
made
and
when
they're
made
so
really
appreciate
the
work
so
far
and
look
forward
to
more.
A
Okay,
next
up,
we
have
mallory
wilson
and
kyle
patterson
with
a
cobia,
19
update
I'll,
say
just
a
couple,
quick
things.
Some
before
mallory
takes
the
floor
as
well.
Mallory
and
kyle
are
both
on
zoom
as
part
of
the
likely
to
be
covered
by
some
of
the
covet
update.
That
mallory
shares
with
us
council
leadership,
and
I
spoke
last
week
about
ways
that
we
could
as
a
city
and
celebrate.
A
Well,
we
have
to
do
two
things:
that's
what
mallory's
and
staff
have
been
working
on
first
shore
up
city
operations
to
make
sure
that
our
employees
stay
healthy.
So
we
can
continue
to
provide
services
to
to
our
residents
and
then
also
given
the
rising
numbers,
determine
what
changes
need
to
be
made
in
our
orders
and
processes
and
procedures
in
order
to
make
sure
that
businesses
that
need
our
support
to
enforce
orders
have
it
and
then
those
that
aren't
acting
according
to
protocols
are
held
accountable.
A
And
so
we
have
gotten
to
work
on
that
and
we
expect
by
later
this
week,
mallory
will
have
details
on
both
internal
and
external
changes
and
to
operations
and
policies,
but
we
wanted
to
get
mallory
in
front
of
council
and
the
public
tonight
to
to
let
us
to
share
where
staff
is
headed,
to
give
us
an
update
and
then
also
just
to
let
all
of
you
know
that,
and
by
and
end
of
week,
possibly
even
tomorrow,
thursday
and
we'll
have
more
specific
details
to
share
with
members
of
council
and
the
public
and
then.
A
Finally,
this
morning
I
invited
a
medical
professionals-
healthcare
executives,
to
share
a
briefing
with
me
on
what
they're,
seeing
in
their
hospitals
and
what
their
models
are
demonstrating
is
likely
to
come
as
well
as
to
provide
suggestions
for
what
we
as
a
city
could
do,
and
so
all
of
that
is
going
into
the
work
that
mallory's
supporting
at
this
point.
So
thanks
mallory
for
joining
us
tonight,
yeah
good
afternoon.
Can
you
hear
me?
We
can't
hear
you
malory,
okay,
stand
by
one
minute
I
feel
like.
A
A
B
Okay,
sorry,
I
yeah
I'm
in
a
new
space,
and
so
my
I'm
having
some
some
challenges
with
figuring
out
the
best
way
to
use
all
this
technology
or
most
efficiently.
So,
yes,
let
me
I'm
gonna
share
my
screen
for
a
couple
of
quick,
slides.
B
Okay,
so
are
we
all
seeing
that
and
you're
all
hearing
me
just
confirm
that,
since
that's
a
little
rocky
at
first,
okay,
so
kind
of
as
mayor
as
you
alluded
to
we'll
just
kind
of
want
to
highlight
a
quick
current
situation
update
some
of
the
cases
some
of
the
stuff
that's
going
on
within
the
city,
just
to
really
highlight
that,
because
we
really
are
at
what
continues
to
be
a
very
critical
time
in
this
pandemic.
B
Last
week
you
all
heard
from
kimberly
link
from
central
eastern
tel
and
the
situation
hasn't
really
improved
since
then,
as
far
as
any
of
our
case
counts
go,
and
so
so
it
really
is
just
a
critical
situation
and
then
kyle
is
going
to
highlight
kind
of
that
link
from
some
of
our
wastewater
data
that
we've
been
looking
at
and
then
also
go
into
some
of
the
internal
planning
process
that
we
are
looking
at
for
city
operations
to
coincide
with
the
governor's
role
back
to
stage
two
and
then,
as
you
referenced
your
conversation
this
morning,
I
captured
a
couple
of
those
recommendations
to
bring
forward
and
then
then
we
can
have
a
bit
of
discussion
on
some
of
the
next
steps
for
the
community.
B
If
you
want
to
discuss
a
little
more
in
depth,
some
of
the
enforcement
and
mayor,
I
believe
you
wanted
to
have
a
little
bit
of
a
discussion
regarding
some
of
those
next
community
steps.
B
So
with
that,
so,
as
we
all
know,
the
governor
moved
the
state
back
to
a
modified
stage
two
on
friday
for
us
here
locally,
really
the
only
thing
that
kind
of
changed.
As
far
as
some
of
the
orders
go
was
the
group
gathering
limit
down
to
10..
We've
obviously
been
in
some
some
more
restrictive
orders
since
then,
and
then
also
wanted
to
highlight
that
boise
school
district
and
boise
state
have
returned
to
remote
learning
through
the
holidays.
B
A
You're
mallory
you're
sharing
a
presentation
but
you're,
not
in
presentation
mode.
It
looks
like
you're.
We
can
see
all
your
toolbar
and
everything
okay.
B
Okay,
let's
see
I'm
not
sure
if
I'm
gonna
be
able
to
to
do
that,
I
think
I'm
just
gonna
have
to
do
it
in
non-presentation
mode.
We'll
go
back
to
that!
We'll
have
to
look
at
this.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that,
as
I
pull
up
my
notes
that
you're
not
seeing
those
that
you're
still
seeing
my
my
presentation
at
least.
B
No,
no,
I
would
have
preferred
that,
but
it's
without
I'm
just
on
my
one
surface
tablet,
and
so
it's
a
little
more
challenging
to
to
get
all
that
going.
So
so,
as
I
was
saying,
the
governor's
back
stage,
she
really
does
indicate
a
level
of
spread
and
concern
that
we
have
within
our
community
and
across
the
state.
B
It
took
us
close
to
two
months
to
get
to
the
most
recent
low
point
we've
had,
so
I
would
assume
that
it's
going
to
take
us
at
least
that
long
to
get
back
down
to
lower
case
rates
again,
if
we
are
close
to
the
peak
of
this
spike,
which
I
really
hope
that
we
are
so
that's
kind
of
where
we're
looking
at.
As
far
as
our
planning
horizon
and
kind
of
where
some
of
the
the
community
is
around
us,
and
so
with
with
this
continued
case
right,
it's
the
continued
situation.
B
B
We
continue
to
interface
with
other
aspects
of
the
community
as
well
and
really
in
partnership
with
our
response
partners
at
the
county
and
at
central
district
health,
councilmember
haliburton.
I
believe
that
you
are
now
working
as
part
of
the
refugee
working
group
that
the
county
has
set
up
in
their
community
resilience
branch.
So
that's
great,
and
I
know
that
shirley
o'neill
here
at
the
city
and
community
partnerships
is
making
sure
to
tie
into
those
efforts
as
well.
B
So
with
that,
just
a
quick
look
at
our
case
rates
as
we
can
see,
we
are
much
higher
than
we
were
in
july,
so
really
just
to
kind
of
hammer
home
the
severity
of
our
current
situation.
B
We've
well
exceeded
those
those
last
numbers
and
again
just
kind
of
wanted
to
point
out
that
you
can
see
on
the
graph.
It
took
us
close
to
two
months
to
to
get
from
that
high
point
in
july,
and
so
that's
really
what's
kind
of
driving
our
considerations
for
for
what
we're
looking
at
for
the
next
bit
of
time
as
the
city.
A
Mallory
just
because
I
think,
because
it's
we're
not
in
sorry
slideshow
mode
ends
mid-october.
We
can't
see
the
slide's
cut
off
there.
We
go
okay.
J
Madam
mayor
council,
members
good
afternoon,
as
you
all
know,
the
city's
been
testing
its
wastewater
for
the
virus
that
causes
covid19
daily
since
june.
We
know
that
individuals
who
are
infected
with
coca-19
shed
the
virus
in
their
feces,
so
wastewater
is
just
a
really
great
way
to
track
the
spread
of
the
virus
across
our
community
without
having
to
test
everybody-
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
especially
to
the
staff
at
public
works.
Who've
done
really
the
work
to
make
this
testing
happen
and
provided
the
leadership
to
make
it
happen
as
well.
J
J
Days
before
we
see
those
new
cases
confirmed
and-
and
you
know
it
did
really
ring
the
alarm
bell
for
us
before
the
june
spike
in
cases
that
you
can
see
in
the
data
we
saw
that
spike
in
the
wastewater
data
before
we
saw
an
increase
in
new
cases.
J
Saint
luke's
is
also
using
this
data
for
their
longer
term
modeling
of
hospitalizations,
and
they
say
it's
really
increased
the
accuracy
of
those
longer
term
forecasts
for
them.
We're
also
working
really
closely
with
the
cdc
who's
working
to
develop
a
national
wastewater
surveillance
program
and
they're
very
excited
about
our
data.
J
In
fact,
they
say
we
have
the
most
robust
wastewater
data
in
the
country
and
and
are
a
model
for
others
on
that
front,
and
actually
the
cdc
is
working
right
now
to
study
our
data
and
do
some
analysis
on
that
and
I'll
share
those
results
with
you
when
we
get
that
but
they're
using
that
to
inform
their
program.
So
I'm
sorry
for
that
large
background.
But
so
what
does
this
data
tell
us
on
the
unchart
we're
looking
at
it?
J
G
J
Indicator,
I
think,
demonstrating
that
the
prevalence
of
the
virus
is
high
and
increasing
in
a
dramatic
way
in
our
community.
I
know
in
previous
waves
folks
have
posited
that
covet
cases
are
increasing
only
because
we're
testing
more
people-
and
I
think
this
wastewater
data
demonstrates
very
clearly
that
that's
not
the
case
that
this
increase
increase
in
cases
is
real,
and
so
this
is
just
another
set
of
data
that
we'll
continue
to
track
through
this
wave
and,
of
course,
this
data
is
also
available
on
our
website.
So
it's
publicly
available
on
our
dashboard.
E
Okay,
this
might
not
be
a
question
for
you,
but
I'm
curious
that
wastewater
data
is
its
virus.
No,
you
know
the
virus
copies
per
liter,
so
it's
the
amount
of
virus
in
a
volume
of
water,
and
I
know
that
the
volume
of
water
that
goes
through
our
waste
treatment
plants
and
through
our
waste
treatment
system
changes
seasonally
it's
different
in
the
summer
that
it
is
in
the
winter.
Do
we
adjust
for
that?
Or
do
we
account
for
that
because
you
could
get
you
could
dilute
or
concentrate
test
results
depending
on
the
water
flow?
J
Yeah,
council
member,
that's
a
great
question.
I
appreciate
your
nerdy
wonkiness
on
that
question.
That's
exactly
right!
What
we
show
on
the
dashboard
itself
is
virus
copies
per
liter,
so
the
number
of
copies
of
the
virus
per
liter
of
wastewater.
We
also
track
it
internally
and
adjust
for
the
flow
there
and
really
what
we've
seen
is
that
the
flow
over
the
past
six
months
has
not
changed
enough
from
day
to
day
that
that
those
results
look
significantly
different
than
what
you
see
on
this
chart.
B
Yeah
so,
and
this
kyle's
just
going
to
give
us
a
little
bit
of
a
unless
you
had
something
else
on
wastewater
kyle.
This
is
going
to
give
us
a
little
bit
of
an
update
just
as
to
what
we're
looking
at
from
a
city's
perspective,
moving
forward.
Knowing
that
we
have
moved
back
to
stage
two
as
a
state,
and
so
I
won't
steal
any
of
kyle's
thunder
and
let
him
continue
on.
J
So,
given
the
conditions
in
the
community,
the
high
number
of
cases,
the
high
levels
of
virus
in
our
wastewater
mallory-
and
I
are
working
closely
with
city
leadership,
so
department
directors
and
the
mayor
to
sort
of
rethink
city
operations
and
ensure
that
we
are
one
doing
our
part
to
stop
the
spread
of
the
virus
in
our
community,
but
two
also
protecting
our
staff.
So
we're
dusting
off
those
stage,
two
plans
that
we
developed
way
back
in
the
spring
and
updating
them
based
on
things.
We've
learned,
since
that
plan
was
first
put
into
place.
C
Mayor
council,
member
holly
burton.
C
Kyle
sounds
like
you're
gonna
come
back
with
some
more
information
on
that.
Are
you
seeing
anything
already
in
phase
two,
that's
kind
of
outdated
that
science
has
shown
us
a
different
direction
or
precautions
that
are
no
longer
needed
versus
more
extreme
cautions?
Have
you
have
you
found
any
at
this
point
that
you
feel
comfortable
talking
about.
J
Yeah,
I
think
the
big
area
we're
having
conversations
about
is
outdoor
services,
so
many
of
our
field
services
that
happen
outdoors
like
say,
code
enforcement
or
animal
enforcement.
Things
like
that,
where,
in
stage
two
previously,
we,
I
think
basically
canceled
anything
that
was
non-essential.
J
C
Yeah,
madame
mayor
cal,
I'm
I'm
excited
to
hear
what
some
of
those
things
are.
I
think
that
there's
so
many
businesses
organizations
in
the
community
who
are
also
figuring
out
like
what
does
it
mean
to
go
back
to
phase
two
in
the
within
their
own
organizations,
and
you
know
what
adjustments
were
they
doing
back
then
that
are
no
longer
valid,
since
I
don't
even
know
at
that
time,
if
we
were
advising
people
to
wear
mask
yet
or
if
we
were
still
conserving
them
for
hospital
workers,
and
so
I
think
so
much
has
changed.
B
Yeah
and-
and
I
think
that's
a
great
point-
because
that's
we
really
did
you
know
that
we
know
so
much
more
about
the
virus
now
than
we
did
the
last
time
we
were
in
stage
two
or
even
when
we
are
in
stage
three.
You
know
we.
B
We
continue
to
learn
more
every
day
and
and
the
focus
on
this
I
know
kyle
doesn't
like
to
refer
to
the
stages
anymore,
because
we
really
are
learning
so
much
that
we
can
be
a
little
more
precise
in
in
what
we
offer
and
continue
to
offer
things
that
we
know
we
can
do
safely,
but
while
maintaining
that
we
keep
our
employees
and
the
public
that
we
interact
with
in
the
community
as
a
whole
as
safe
as
we
can.
So
thanks
kyle
for
that.
B
So
next,
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
a
couple
of
the
recommendations
that
I
captured
from
this
morning's
conversation
that
the
mayor
had
with
some
of
our
healthcare
partners,
because
I
really
do
think
that
it's
good
for
for
us
to
see
as
a
city
as
we
look
to
move
forward
and
covet,
and
it's
good
for
the
the
public
to
see
as
well.
Again,
what
our
health
care
partners
are
seeing
and
are
recommending
to
make
sure
that
we
can
try
to
to
growl
this
pandemic
a
little
bit
as
we
move
forward.
B
I
know
both
the
the
mayor
and
some
of
the
the
healthcare
partners
this
morning
said
you
know
we
are
getting
really
close
to
not
the
end,
but
to
where
the
end
is
in
sight.
We
have
a
vaccine,
that's
working
its
way
through
the
process
and
will
hopefully
be
available
soon.
We
just
gotta
get
through
kind
of
a
last
little
bit
and
really
do
do
our
do
our
part,
and
so
with
that.
Some
of
the
recommendations
that
I
captured
were
to
continue
to
support
those
businesses
that
are
employing
good
practices.
B
We
see
a
lot
of
businesses
in
the
community
that
have
done
their
research
are
really
doing
their
part
and
to
make
sure
that
that
we're
supporting
those
those
entities
and
part
of
I
think
what
our
discussion
will
be
here
in
a
second-
is
to
look
at
what
enforcement
looks
like
and
and
what
consequences
could
be
for
non-compliance
continue
to
limit
those
large
gatherings.
B
We
did
see
that,
with
the
governor's
move
to
stage
two
in
his
most
recent
order,
with
limiting
any
any
gatherings
of
any
kind,
either
social
or
public
within
you
know
to
10
people,
and
then
I
think
I
think
it
was
a
debilanto
from
st
owls
who
had
said.
B
We
really
just
need
to
hunker
down
and
I
think
that's
a
a
great
way
to
put
it,
because
I
think
we
do
just
have
this
last
little
bit
to
kind
of
get
through
until
until
we
can
to
look
to
the
other
side
so
that
next
one's
really
similar
further
limiting
our
social
gatherings
and
public
events
at
the
city.
I
know
we
we're
not
permitting
any
special
events,
at
least
to
the
end
of
the
year,
and
so
we'll
have
to
revisit
that
soon.
B
As
we
look
look
forward
and
then
some
of
the
things
that
we're
granted
that
we
kind
of
already
are
doing,
are
you
eliminating
the
number
of
people
in
businesses
requiring
masks
and
then
enforcing
compliance
really
doing
what
we
can
to
make
sure
that
those
mitigation
measures
are
in
place.
B
So
with
that
mayor,
I
think
you
wanted
to
maybe
lead
a
bit
of
a
discussion
on
the
next
steps.
Or
do
you
want
me
to
go
into
some
high
level
of
some
of
the
other
things?
We're
thinking
and
I
will
stop
sharing.
A
I
mean
we've
got
about
10
minutes
before
we've
got
to
jump
on
an
that.
We've
got
a
some
of
us
have
to
head
into
another
thing,
but
if
there
are
any
kind
of
high
level
updates
that
you
want
to
provide
on
operations,
you're
welcome
to
do
that.
If
there's
any
questions
from
council,
we
can
do
that
I'll.
A
Just
reiterate
that
you
know
we
are
really
odette
was
right
when
she
said
we're
so
close,
and
I
hadn't
even
thought
of
it
myself
to
be
honest,
that
you
know
when
they
were
talking
about
now,
the
by
the
end
of
december,
having
a
vaccine
not
for
not
enough
for
everybody
by
any
stretch,
but
with
with
the
state
and
others
now
planning
for
distribution
of
a
vaccine
that
we
are
close
and
we've
spent
10
months.
A
You
know
hunkering
down,
trying
to
be
safe
and
to
be
smart
and
to
be
mindful
of
residents
in
our
community,
so
we
can
either
I
mean
just
because
we're
close
doesn't
mean
we
should
just
give
up,
because
the
doctor's
models
showed
that
by
christmas
or
by
the
first
week
of
december,
they
expect
to
see
twice
as
many
people
in
the
hospitals
now
and
by
christmas
three
times
and
then
beyond
and
and
that
has
dire
consequences
on
who
is
able
to
receive
medical
care
and
when
people
need
medical
care.
A
D
Madam
mayor
go
ahead,
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
I
know
that
this
is
not
an
ideal
situation
for
just
having
two
of
us
here
in
this
huge
council
chamber,
and
I
know
that
some
council
members
have
some
concerns
about
that
and
think
that
there's
a
safer
way
to
do
it.
I
just
want
to
reiterate
that,
with
all
of
the
data
that
we've
been
hearing
from
our
healthcare
partners
about
minimizing
the
number
of
people
that
are
gathered
together,
that's
why
we're
doing
this.
D
The
way
that
we
are
so
that
we
as
members
of
city
council,
can
model
that
behavior
that
we
are
getting
the
absolute
minimum
number
of
people
together
to
hopefully
slow
the
spread
of
this
virus
and
to
model
good
behavior.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
my
fellow
council
members
for
understanding
that
this
is
a
temporary
situation.
Hopefully
we
can
all
be
together
at
the
diocese
again
sooner
rather
than
later,
but
for
right
now.
This
is
just
a
really
important
way
for
us
to
do
this.
A
A
It
was
part
of
stage
two
before
and
it's
for
that
reason
that
we
have
to
have
some
people
in
these
chambers
and
then
you
know
others
have
asked
why
we
haven't
just
on
our
own
clamp
down
on
the
number
of
people
that
can
be
in
the
chambers,
and
so
we've
now
separated
people.
I
think
12
feet
chairs
are
separated
by
12
feet.
A
The
public
will
have
to
wear
masks
at
all
times,
but
we
are
also
mindful
and
while
we
we've,
it's
been
suggested
that
we
make
a
limit
of
a
certain
number
of
people
in
the
chambers,
and
we
have
volunteers
that
are
tasked
with
moving
people
in
and
out
of
this
building.
And
so
we
also
need
to
be
think
mindful
of
the
health
of
our
staff
and
volunteers
and
for
big
hearing
nights
like
tonight.
A
If
we
had
a
limited
number
of
people,
we'd
have
to
be
moving
people
in
and
out,
and
then
the
pressure
and
potential
impact
that
that
has
on
our
staff
is
high,
and
so
really
it
would
be
best
if
we
were
virtual
fully
and
so
that
all
of
us
had
the
same
experience
rather
than
having
council
members
that
feel
left
out
at
home
or
those
of
us
that
have
to
be
here
here
and
for
our
staff
and
we've
minimized
staff
in
the
building
as
well.
For
that
very
reason,
so
I
will
you
know.
A
I
think
many
of
us
will
continue
to
ask
that
that
we'd
be
able
to
go
virtual
fully
again.
But
in
the
interim
we
are
taking.
As
many
precautions
as
possible
to
protect
the
employees
that
have
to
be
here
as
well
as
the
public
becomes,
and
our
council
members.
I
A
I
I
Tonight
I
have
found
that
we've
been
able
to
conduct
our
business
well,
we've
been
able
to
conduct
it
while
ensuring
that
everyone
has
a
voice,
and
I
know
that
your
commitment
to
that
and
our
city
council's
commitment
to
that
that
we'll
continue
to
do
everything
we
can
to
ensure
that
everybody
is
heard
on
the
issues
where
they
need
her.
I
It
would,
I
think,
frankly,
be
easier
to
do
it
all
virtually
at
this
point,
but
whatever
it
is,
will
ensure
that
we're
getting
that
job
done.
It's
my
so
it's
my
comment.
My
question
is
going
forward.
I
I
We
know
that
we're
going
to
have
to
start
planning
for
next
year
soon.
I
guess
the
the
question
is:
are
we
going
to
try
and
make
decisions
soon?
Are
we
going
to
sort
of
slow
roll
through
and
find
out
what
what
the
vaccine
distribution
looks
like?
What?
B
And
I
mean
madam
mayor
go
ahead
and
speak
a
little
bit
to
that.
Is
that
you
know
every
time
we
look
at
this,
whether
we
were
in
the
stages
or
kind
of
now
as
we're
in
a
state
stage
too,
but
we're
evaluating
things
at
the
city.
We
always
set
a
bit
of
a
planning
horizon
so
that
we
have
a
set
date
and
time
that
we
need
to
reevaluate.
B
You
know
kind
of
at
an
end
date,
at
least
if
it
needs
to
happen
sooner.
It
needs
to
happen
sooner,
but
we
always
set
ourselves
kind
of
a
an
end
date
for
our
current
planning
horizon
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
time
to
check
in
and
reevaluate
that
next
step
and
so
for
us.
Currently,
we
kind
of
aligned
with
the
boise
school
district
and
through
the
holidays.
So
we
are
looking
through
january
15th.
Obviously,
department
directors
are
are
starting
to
look
at
what
the
longer
term
looks
like.
B
I
F
Madam
mayor
tj,
hey
mallory
kyle.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
this
update
and
the
the
steps
you're,
taking
the
careful
steps
that
you're
taking
to
ensure
and
mayor
mclean
to
ensure
that
we're
we're
moving
in
the
right
direction
at
a
at
a
rate,
that's
safe
for
the
public
and
at
the
same
time.
Well
I'll,
certainly
be
supportive
of
these
steps
and
ensuring
you
know
if
there's
services
that
we
we
can,
you
know,
shut
down
for
a
temporary
time.
F
That
may
not
be
necessary
at
this
time
where
we
want
to
have,
but
we
can't
maybe
aren't
maybe
being
utilized
to
the
same
level
that
it
could
be
and
for
safety
reasons,
but
there's.
I
think
we
also
want
to
ensure
that
we're
looking
at
things
that
maybe
will
still
be
safe
if
done
correctly,
whether
that's
animal
enforcement.
F
I
know
that's
on
humane
society,
but
I
would
hate
to
see
that
shut
down
during
the
winter
months,
when
it's
certainly
a
vital
time
for
our
furry
friends
and
then
also
whether
it's
permitting
residential
business.
You
know
a
lot
of
people
are
stuck
in
their
homes
and
they're
doing
a
lot
of
projects
there.
There
can
also
be
some
protective
measures
taken
by
our
folks
masking
up
working
with
family
members
or
whatnot
to
ensure
that
it's
a
safe
environment.
F
So
while
I
certainly
support
taking
a
break
from
many
of
the
services
that
are
non-essential,
I
think
there
still
are
some
that
are
very
essential
and
we
want
to
use
our
best
practices
and
ensure
that
we
we're
continuing
to
maintain
a
safe
environment
for
our
our
workers,
but
also
keeping
the
city
moving
forward.
A
Of
course,
yes
thank
you
for
that
comment.
I'm
gonna!
We,
some
of
us
have
an
appointment
at
five
o'clock.
I
believe
so.
I
need
to
wrap
us
up.
We
will
have
another-
I
imagine
we'll
have
another
update
at
our
next
meeting
and
where
we
can
we'll
go
into
detail,
but
there'll
be
memos
for
everybody
in
advance
of
that.
