A
A
C
It
thank
you,
madam
mayor
council,
members,
jennifer
tomlinson
park
superintendent,
I'm
going
to
put
up
my
screen
here.
So
can
everybody
see
that
beautifully
serene
park
picture.
A
A
The
williams
park.
C
So,
just
a
quick
outline
of
what
we
hope
to
cover
today,
really
what
our
current
service
levels
are,
how
we
break
the
city
up
into
different
geographies,
what
progress
we've
really
made
on
achieving
those
levels
of
service,
the
gaps
that
we
have
and
then
really
just
where
we're
headed
in
the
future
and
how
we
develop
our
plan
moving
forward.
D
C
With
that,
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
little
bit
of
background
on
what
our
current
level
of
services,
so
we
define
the
level
of
service
to
articulate
how
we're
serving
our
residents
in
the
city
they're
served
by
a
hierarchy
of
park
types
and
we've
had
this
hierarchy
in
place
since
about
the
mid
90s.
C
We
in
defining
the
level
of
service
we
have
to
set
the
baseline
for
when
we
develop
our
capital
improvement
plan.
So
the
capital
improvement
plan
will
be
based
on
our
level
of
service,
how
we
calculate
that
amount
and
what
we
are
looking
at
moving
forward
and
that
feeds
into
our
impact
fee
collection
practices.
So
it's
all
wrapped
up
in
this
one
big
kind
of
thing,
with
lots
of
different
pieces
and
parts.
So
our
neighborhood
park
service
level
has
been
at
1.15
acres
per
thousand
residents.
C
We
have
that
laid
out
and
that
was
set
as
a
goal
for
2030
and
those
parks
are
generally
seven
to
ten
acres
in
size,
so
we
have
them
kind
of
all
over
town
and
then
we
have
community
parks
that
are
larger.
Those
are
about
20
acres,
where
we
have
sports
fields
and
we
generally
assume
people
are
going
to
drive
to
those
facilities,
so
they're
reservable
they
just
have
larger
spaces
and
that
one
we
have
0.81
acres
per
thousand
people,
and
once
we
build
alta
harris,
we
will
have
met
these
service
levels.
C
C
So
just
a
map
kind
of
showing
where
we're
at
on
our
neighborhood
parks.
The
way
that
this
has
historically
been
calculated
is
we
put
a
dot
in
the
middle
of
a
map.
We
draw
a
circle
around
it,
that's
half
a
mile,
it's
as
the
crow
flies.
It
doesn't
take
into
account
any
kind
of
connectivity
how
people
get
there.
It's
it's
just
kind
of
a
circle
on
the
map.
C
So,
as
our
data
collection
practices
have
really
started,
improving,
we
now
are
able
to
better
tell
how
people
are
accessing
our
parks
and
kind
of
what
our
best
vision
is
for
how
people
should
be
able
to
get
to
parks
so
with
neighborhood
parks
in
particular.
We
really
really
want
to.
You
know,
make
it
so
that
they
are
highly
accessible
by
bikes
and
beds,
so
that
people
can
walk
and
they
don't
have
to
drive
to
get
out.
C
You
know
to
get
to
something:
that's
only
half
a
mile
away
in
theory,
but
when
you
look
at
the
map,
you
see
we
have
really
good
coverage
and
that's
because
it
it's
not
taking
into
account
that
street
network,
it's
really
just
kind
of
a
blob
on
a
map,
and
it
covers
a
much
larger
area
so
with
our
community
parks.
C
It's
the
same
kind
of
thing:
it's
a
larger
blob,
but
it's
still
just
a
mile
circle
around
it,
but,
as
we've
been
kind
of
taking
a
look
at
and
taking
stock
in,
where
we're
at
kind
of
re-running,
the
analysis
on
the
accessibility
of
our
facilities,
we've
really
taken
a
look
at
that
street
network
pathways.
Sidewalks,
so
that
we
can
get
a
better
idea
of
how
we're
really
serving
people
so
that
they
do
have
that
ability
to
walk
or
bike
to
parks.
So.
B
C
Boise
hills
park,
it's
a
fairly
dramatic
example,
because
the
street
grid
in
the
area
is
not
very
good,
but
you
can
see
how
we
go
from
serving
a
much
larger
population
down
to
something
that's
about
a
third
of
the
size
of
what
we
are
covering.
You
know,
kind
of
in
the
existing
level
of
service
and
the
way
that
we
calculate
it
currently.
So
this
has
really
had
a
like.
C
C
So
the
10-minute
walk
is
something
in
kind
of
park
world,
nationally
that
a
lot
of
cities
have
gone
to
our
national
organization,
which
is
the
national
recreation
and
park
association
who
provided
the
guidelines
for
acres
per
thousand
and
the
kind
of
the
half-mile
radius
have
really
gone
to
this
10-minute
walk
as
a
as
a
service
level.
C
So
the
most
important
part
of
this
question
is:
how
do
we
define
it?
And
what
do
we
want?
Folks
to
have
access
to
and
something
that
we
really
learned
a
lot
through
kovid
is
the
need
for
having
open
spaces
close
to
where
people
live
that
way
they
can
get
out
of
their
houses.
You
know
when
everybody's
in
it
and
they
need
their
space,
so
our
parks
got
used
way
more
than
normal.
Through
covid,
we
saw
a
lot
of
impacts.
C
Trails
greenbelt
our
use
was
up
double
in
most
places,
but
we
really
want
to
be
able
to
provide
those
facilities
close
to
home
for
folks
and
so
the
having
the
park
not
necessarily
tied
to
an
acreage
right.
So
it's
a
saying
everybody
will
have
access
to
a
seven
acre
park
is
a
really
difficult
goal
to
achieve,
mostly
because
we're
built
out
as
a
city
and
finding
a
seven
acre
parcel
is
like
the
most
amazing
thing
in
the
world.
C
Just
really
providing
so
people
can
get
outside
is
kind
of
the
direction
that
we're
headed
in
and
then
just
as
we
look
at
our
city
from
accessibility
and
a
connectivity
standpoint
being
able
to
provide
services
within
the
15-minute
walk
or
a
15-minute
bike
ride
as
part
of
the
15-minute
city
parks
are
considered
an
essential
service
and
one
that
we
would
need
to
be
able
to
achieve
that
service
level.
C
So,
with
that
kind
of
framing
the
kind
of
discussion
on
where
we're
at
and
what
the
10-minute
walk
is,
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
guys
a
couple
of
examples
of
what
this
could
look
like.
You
know,
historically,
like
I
said,
7
to
10
acres,
20,
acres,
much
larger
land
and
now
we're
really
looking
at
smaller
kind
of
micro
parks
and
being
able
to
provide
those
services
in
conjunction
with
other
projects
that
are
going
on.
C
We
are
currently
working
through
these
numbers
and
we
participate
in
the
trust
for
public
lands
park,
score
project
and
we
have,
for
the
last
probably
five
or
six
years
and
that's
where
they
measure
the
top
100
cities
by
population
and
they
determine
who
they
rank
us
according
to
where
we
stand
in
a
number
of
different
metrics
like
this
is
where
we're
the
number
one
dog
park
city
in
the
country,
because
we
provide
more
off
leash
dog
areas
than
any
other
city
per
for
the
population
that
we
have.
C
But
when
we
look
at
our
map,
we're
at
63
percent
of
residents
that
currently
do
have
access
or
live
within
a
10-minute
walk
of
an
open
space
and
we
included
all
of
our
facilities
and
then
schools
as
well,
because
they
do
have
open
space
that
is
available
to
the
public
after
school
hours.
C
C
E
C
Madam
mayor
council
member
thompson,
it's
generally
a
half
a
mile.
C
Depending
on
well,
it's
depending
on
the
person
who's,
so
it's
different
for
different
populations
and
users
so,
like
it's
broken
down
based
on
the
different
age
groups
that
we
would
see
so.
F
Madam
mayor,
thank
you
just
to
follow
up
on
council
member
thompson's
question
about
who
does
that
apply
to,
and
what
does
that
mean?
How
do
is
there
any
metric
in
there
to
consider
folks
with
mobility
issues
that
sort.
C
Of
thing,
madam
mayor
councilmember
sanchez,
I'd
have
to
go
back
and
double
check
and
see.
If
there
is,
I
believe
that
there
is-
or
at
least
it's
accounted
for
in
there,
and
I
know
that
they
look
at
the
excess,
like
the
physical
accessibility
of
sidewalks
and
the
street
system,
and
all
of
that,
when
they're
doing
the
kind
of
behind
the
curtain
calculation
so.
C
So
a
few
different
ways
we
can
look
at
getting
there.
We
can
look
at
the
smaller
park
sites.
C
Franklin
park
is
a
really
good
example
of
a
really
exciting
project
that
we
were
able
to
kind
of
as
a
city
all
pull
together
around
with
the
housing
project
that's
going
in
and
then
with
our
facility
in
franklin,
park's
only
three
acres.
This
has
been
a
really
interesting
and
great
partnership
that
we
have
had
with
the
developer
on
this
project,
so
we
have
been
working
with
him
on
he's,
basically
like
they're,
providing
a
publicly
accessible
restroom
that
faces
on
to
the
park.
C
So
we
don't
have
to
build
a
separate
building
in
the
park
and
then
we'll
maintain
it
or
on
this
one
we're
able
to
use
cdbg
funding
to
purchase
like
play
equipment
so
we're
going
to
be
able
to
really
improve
the
amenities
in
the
area
as
that,
affordable
housing
project
comes
in
so
looking
for
opportunities
to
partner
on
those
kinds
of
affordable
housing
projects,
they're
really
great
uses
that
co-locate
well
with
each
other
and
they
provide
they
create
just
really
lively
and
dynamic
spaces
really
really
close
to
where
folks
live
and
then
also
identifying
potential
parcels
that
could
increase
connectivity.
C
C
C
So
if
we
were
to
look
at
any
kind
of
park
in
this
area,
we
would
end
up
filling
out
a
big
deficit
that
we
have
in
our
service
area
and
we
would
be
able
to
serve
those
new
residents
moving
into
the
city.
This
is
just
an
example.
We
we
haven't
done
anything
to
move
forward
on
this,
but
the
kind
of
the
blue
blob
on
the
right
shows
an
increase
in
service
level
to
about
an
additional
700
households.
C
So
it
would
really
move
the
needle
on
where
we're
at
in
this
area,
and
then
we
would
be
able
to
start
looking
at
how
we
connect
up
to
that,
because
there
are
actually
some
canals
over
in
this
area
that
could
provide
some
real
connectivity.
If
we
were
to
put
some
sort
of
facility
over
here
and
then
this
is
a
project-
that's
pretty
live
as
of
last
week
and
that's
the
kasha
park
bikeway.
C
So
this
bridge
was
placed
last
week
and
this
is
an
achd
project,
and
this
was
this
provided
the
opportunity
just
by
working
with
the
canal
company
and
really
looking
at
the
greater
connectivity
in
the
area
of
creating
not
only
a
bikeway
that
spans
almost
the
entire
central
bench.
But
as
you
can
see
on
the
right,
we
are
actually
opening
up
access
to
a
number
of
homes
that
haven't
had
access
to
that
park
before.
So.
C
Maintenance
has
a
bigger
impact
on
our
maintenance.
It's
not
something
that
we
don't
already
do
so
we're
very
comfortable
with
it,
and
we
do
you
know
it
is
part
of
our
portfolio
as
it
is.
C
The
timing
right
now
we're
working
on
the
capital
plan.
It's
a
10-year
planning
horizon,
but
this
would
really
be
our
kind
of
our
introduction
into
looking
at
this
service
method
and
this
model
to
see
if
it
works
for
us
as
a
city.
It
would
be
our
first
kind
of
you
know,
step
into
this,
to
see
how
we
can
accommodate
it.
You
guys
know
our
real
estate
prices
are
like
through
the
roof
right
now,
so
our
dollar
doesn't
go
as
far
as
it
used
to.
C
That
being
said,
we
do
have
a
lot
of
grant
opportunities
that
are
available
to
us
that
we
could
partner
on
like
the
land
and
water
conservation
fund
is
a
great
program
that
we've
done
a
lot
of
work
with
and
that's
a
50
match.
So
if
we
got
250
000
from
them,
we
would
match
that
and
then
we
would
have
a
much
more
robust
project,
so
that's
kind
of
the
long
and
the
short
of
it
in
15
minutes
or
less,
and
I
guess
what
that'll
stand
for
questions.
Madam.
F
Mayor,
thank
you
that
was
awesome,
but
I
have
a
question
of
course,
so
I
imagine
for
the
community
neighbor
the
community
parks.
You
can
probably
track
by
the
the
nature
of
their
use,
how
many
people
use
them?
Is
there
a
way
to
track
the
use
of
the
neighborhood
parks
like
how
many
people
do.
C
We
have
there
council,
member
sanchez,
we
use
a
lot
of
temporary
pedestrian
counters,
so
we
can
always
deploy
those
to
kind
of
wherever
we
want
and
we
can
get
at
least
a
point
in
time
count
of
how
many
people
are
using
them.
We
generally
try
to
set
them
out
in
like
may
june,
because
those
are
our
highest
use
times
when
everybody's
like
ready
to
get
outside
after
a
long
winter,
so
that
we
could
absolutely
do
that
and
then
we
would
just
it
would
be
head
and
bike
is
what
we
generally
count.
C
G
G
I
am
very
lucky
to
have
a
neighborhood
park
in
my
neighborhood,
and
I
know
that
in
at
my
park
at
least
we
contract
with
sunshine
landscape
on,
like
the
grass
maintenance
in
the
park.
G
Do
you
have
kind
of
a
feeling
for
how
much
can
that
ongoing
maintenance
is
per
year
on
a
neighborhood
park
that
you
build
into
modeling
because
it
seems
like
you
know.
I've
lived
near
a
couple
of
neighborhood
parks
in
my
time
in
boise
and
those
seem
to
be
a
really
great
tool
and
it
seems
like
they
might
be
a
little
bit
less
expensive
just
to
have
some
neighborhood
green
space
and
they're
widely
used
by
everyone
in
our
neighborhood.
G
So
it
could
be
kind
of
an
eat,
more
easily
deployed
tool
than
doing
a
whole
green
up
with
a
playground
with
you
know.
All
of
these
other
things.
C
Madam
mayor
councilmember
whittings,
we
do
have
that
information
and
we
track
it
by
park
location
and
we
we
have
a
kind
of
a
tiered
model
in
our
maintenance,
so
with
our
parks
that
are
further
away
from
the
urban
core.
Those
are
the
ones
that
we
usually
contract
out.
So
sunshine
is
out
at
like
the
magnolias
molinar,
those
kinds
of
places,
but
we
do
have
it
broken
down
by
by
park.
So
I'd
be
happy
to
get
that
information
and
bring
it
back.
If
you
would
be
interested
in
seeing
that
or
not,
I.
G
I
guess
I'm
just
trying
to
figure
out
like
what's
the
right,
what's
the
way
that
we
can
deploy
open
space
as
widely
as
we
can,
especially
in
those
underserved
areas
in
the
most
affordable
and
sustainable
way
possible.
Does
that
make
sense?
And
maybe
maybe
you
have
a
sense
of
what
that?
What
the
best
way
to
do
that
would
be.
C
Madam
mayor
council,
member
woodings,
there
is
a
there's
almost
a
level
of
where
it's
more
affordable
to
contract,
something
out
for
us
than
to
bring
on
additional
staff
to
take
care
of
it.
And
so
we
have
somebody
who
oversees
all
of
those
contracts
and
he
could
very
easily
tell
you
which
ones
are.
You
know
where
it
where
it
makes
more
sense
to
have
that
contracted
out,
because
it
is
a
lot
cheaper
in
some
instances
so
and
you're
by
aldape.
Part
correct.
Is
that
right?
C
Okay,
so
yeah
that
one
definitely
is
contracted
out,
because
it's
so
remote
and
it's
not
located
by
anything
else
that
we
do.
So
that's
really
how
we
look
at
it
is
geographically
and
then
we
just
kind
of
tier
the
level
of
service
based
on
where
it's
at
and.
A
Also
to
the
council,
members
question
and
jennifer
you'd
suggested
at
the
beginning
that
we
do
look
to
as
the
council
member
was
bringing
up
smaller
parks,
so
reimagining.
What
what
a
park
looks
like
doesn't
have
to
be
the
large
expanse
of
julia
davis
or
camel's
back,
but
it
could
be
out
the
size
of
aldape
or
boise
hills
like
you
showed,
or
the
little
park.
A
That
is
near
the
council
president,
that
creates
opportunities
for
residents
to
have
access
to
open
space
within
that
10-minute
walk,
but
with
a
different
expectation
of
what
that
looks
like
as
we
get
as
our
city
continues
to
grow.
G
Madam
mayor,
just
to
kind
of
follow
up
on
that,
I'm
thinking
of
you
know
jennifer
pointed
out
that
land
prices
are
getting
so
expensive
as
we
grow,
and
so
it
might
make
sense
to
create
more
of
those
kind
of
pocket
park,
opportunities
on
lower
cost
small
pieces
of
land
throughout
the
city
than
to
try
to
get
acres
of
land,
and
I
think
that
that
may
have
been
said
so,
maybe
I'm
just
amplifying
it.
I'm
not
sure.
G
But
I
appreciate
the
conversation
because
I
think
that
having
access
to
open
space
is
part
of
what
makes
neighborhoods
so
vibrant
and
so
creating
more
opportunities
is
really
important.
F
A
Mayor,
yes,
we'll
go
with
the
council
president
pro
tem
and
then
the
council
president.
C
And
mayor
council
members
sanchez,
they
all
have
a
bunch
of
different
names,
so,
basically
anything
less
than
seven
acres
in
size.
We
can
kind
of
call
it
whatever
we
want.
We
go
with
micro
park,
just
because
it's
I
mean
in
our
scale.
It's
really
small.
You
know
when
most
of
the
stuff
we
have
is
seven
to
ten
ten
acres
in
size,
so
it's
teeny,
but
it's
just
basically
anything
that's
less
than
seven
to
ten
acres
in
size.
C
A
But
I
think,
there's
also
great
potential
with
the
work
that
the
parks,
department
and
council
president
and
council
member
hallie
burton
are
doing
on
the
canal
pathways
to
make
it
possible
to
have
10-minute
access
to
parks
in
different
ways
too,
because
of
the
potential
there
for
additional
and
different
kinds
of
open
space.
Definitely,
council.
H
President,
thank
you,
madam
mayor,
that
gets
at
actually
what
my
question
was
and,
and
I
was
going
to
mention
the
little
park
by
near
my
house,
gordon
bowen
park.
It's
on
what
used
to
be
two
residential
lots.
I
I
don't
know
if
it's
the
smallest
park
in
the
system.
That's
actually
got
playground
and
stuff
and
so
forth,
but
I
think
it
might
be,
but
it's
plenty
big
lots
of
kids
use
it.
H
Lots
of
people
go
over
and
picnic,
and
so
I
guess
in
answer,
maybe
to
or
to
further
probe
the
question
that
council
president
pro
tem
sanchez
asked.
Are
we
going
to
develop
some
criteria?
H
I
mean
I,
I
suspect,
we'll
take
anything
at
some
point
like
gordon
bowen
ended
up
being
those
two
houses
that
were
abandoned
and
eventually
demolished
and
the
city
ended
up
with
the
land,
but
it
might
be
helpful
as
part
of
this
to
create
criteria
about
what
we're
aiming
for,
for
instance,
the
example
that
you
showed
on
west
fairview
and
shamrock
one
would
suspect
a
one-acre
park.
H
There
would
probably
be
really
big
enough
to
serve
their
needs
and
small
enough
to
be
affordable
and
part
of
whatever
development
ends
up
on
that
remaining
10
to
12
acres.
So
I
just
wondered
if
you
thought,
through
that
process,.
C
Madam
mayor
council,
president
clegg,
we
have
kind
of
put
some
preliminary
thought
towards
it,
so
there
there
is
well
there's
two
different
potential
like
outcomes
that
could
happen.
One.
We
don't
want
to
get
like,
I
don't
say,
junky
leftover
parcels,
but
ones
where
the
access
really
doesn't
serve
anybody
other
than
the
people
around
it
right,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
areas
like
that
in
the
city
where
it's
just
it's
a
very
small
and
has
a
very
limited
impact.
C
C
That's
probably
the
the
most
important
thing
that
we
can
take
a
look
at
and
then
the
equity
piece
in
it
is
also
super
critical
and
the
equity
portion
has
actually,
as
of
this
year,
been
built
to
our
truck,
been
built
into
the
trust
for
public
lands,
our
criteria
and
how
we're
ranked
nationally.
So
it
is
a
piece
that
we're
looking
at,
but
in
instances
where
something
may
be
so
small
that
it
doesn't
really
impact
anything.
That's
where
maybe
we
look
at
our
connectivity.
C
So
I
think
we
have
a
lot
of
different
options
and
how
we
actually
implement
this,
and
we
can
set
up
some
standards
so
that
you
know
we
can
just
really
make
sure
that
we're
getting
the
most
bang
for
our
buck,
where
we
are
because
you
know,
unfortunately,
I
think
we're
probably
gonna-
be
paying
development
prices
which
are
much
higher
than
people
donating
to
the
city
out
of
the
kindness
of
their
heart.
So
thank.
H
You
that
that
helps
a
lot.
I
think
I
think
those
are
all
good
points.
The
other
one
I
thought
of
especially
with
canal
pathways
is
there
might
be
opportunities
along
those
to
have
little
pockets
along
the
canal
pathway
with
access
to
it,
so
keep
our
eyes
open
for
those
kinds
of
locations.
H
I
Jennifer,
that
was
a
short
presentation
that
you
packed
a
lot
into
and
it
was.
It
was
pretty
impressive
to
be
able
to
look
at
things
from
that
point
of
view,
particularly
the
slide
that
you
had
in
west
boise
kind
of
over
by
shamrock
and
then
the
other
one
with
what
that
bridge
did
to
open
up
a
few
more
houses
and
how
bang
for
the
buck.
You
can
really
not
necessarily
build
a
new
park,
but
create
access
that
way.
I
That
was
such
a
great
way
to
look
at
it,
and
I
just
would
encourage
you
to
keep
doing
that.
I
mean
even
same
in
kasha
park
like
we
can
look
at
that
that
north
entrance
along
garden
street
and
that
same
map
could
show
us
exactly
how
many
people
that
would
reach
if
we
were
able
to
create
access
at
these
different
points.
I
A
Great
well,
I
I
think
that
unless
you
need
additional
direction
today,
I
think
we're
good.
C
No
adam
mayer,
I
feel
like
we're
all
good
with
this,
and
so
we'll
move
forward
as
far
as
next
steps
on
developing
a
capital
plan,
that
really
does
focus
on
connectivity
in
smaller
parks
and
then
those
criteria
that
we
are
involved
in
and
how
so
we'll
probably
bring
the
criteria
back
before
you
guys.
Just
for
your
input,
clarification
on
that
and
then
we'll
move
forward
with
our
capital
planning.
That
sounds.
D
A
Yeah.
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
good
to
see
you
too
all
right.
We
have
an
executive
session,
we're
headed
into.
