A
All
right
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
call
the
meeting
to
order.
My
name
is
Jimmy
halliburn
I
am
not
the
mayor
of
Boise
I'm,
a
council
member
council
member
Pro
tem
just
to
clear
up
any
sort
of
confusion.
Tonight
the
mayor
is
online,
but
the
person
running
the
meeting
has
to
be
here
and
be
present.
You
can
just
refer
to
me
as
council
member
Hallie
Burton
instead
of
Mr
Mayor
or
anything
that
was
a
little
wonky
during
the
work
session
earlier
today.
We'll.
B
A
It
under
advisement,
we
start
each
meeting
with
a
with
a
moment
of
silence
in
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance.
We
do
have
a
scout
group
here
today:
who's
going
to
help
us
with
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance.
So
if
you
all
want
to
go
ahead
and
stand
up,
maybe
we
can
just
stand
in
this
area
down
here
and
any
of
the
Scout
members
that
want
to
join
are
certainly
welcome
to
join.
B
D
A
E
A
F
Thank
you
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all
for
being
here
and
as
someone
who
got
their
Eagle
Scout
on,
like
their
18th
birthday,
if
you're
close
just
keep
plugging
along
and
yeah.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
A
Perfect,
all
right,
I
would
Echo
that
thanks
and
gratitude
for
coming
today
again
stick
around
as
long
as
you
want.
We've
got
a
really
fun
Valley
Regional
Transit
thing
on
one
of
our
first
items
on
the
agenda,
so
that
might
be
a
fun
one
to
stick
around
for,
but
if
you
have
to
take
off
earlier
than
that,
that's
okay,
too.
A
G
D
E
A
We
do
have
one
item
on
special
business
item
number
or
CVA
22-27.
G
H
You
mayor
members
of
the
council,
this
item
sure
look
familiar
to
you
on
May
16
2023
city
council
heard
an
appeal
of
the
Planning
and
Zoning
commission
denial
of
a
variance
which
was
CVA
22-00027
located
at
40
4355
North,
five
Shire
Avenue.
The
variance
was
for
a
small
detached
structure
to
encroach
in
the
street
side
setback
and
rear
setback.
At
this
hearing,
Council
approved
the
appeal
and
the
variance
request
and
instructed
the
planning
team
to
come
to
return
for
the
revised
findings
and
conditions
of
approval.
B
B
I
reviewed
the
revised
findings.
They
captured
several
of
the
things
that
we
talked
about
in
the
meeting
and
I'm
very
pleased
with
them,
and
I
would
move
to
approve
the
revised
findings
for
cav22-27.
G
E
A
Next,
we
have
the
consent
agenda
before
allowing
for
a
motion.
Stale
all
items
within
asterisk
are
considered
to
be
routine
by
Council
and
will
be
enacted
by
one
motion.
A
B
I'd
move
to
remove
resolution
296
23
from
the
consent
agenda
and
table
that
item,
because
the
public
works
department
has
elected
not
to
proceed
with
that
particular
agreement
for
services
and
to
remove
item
number
F
in
subdivisions
for
separate
consideration.
G
B
I
Yeah
council
member
I'd,
just
like
to
points
me
out
that
was
that
motion
was
fine.
I
had
a
flanny
look
on
my
face
because
I
couldn't
tell
I,
didn't
I
thought
you
said
298
23,
but
you
said
296
23,
correct,
okay,.
E
I
It's
the
council
support
of
the
community
investment
framework
that
Micron
is
putting
forth
as
part
of
their
commitment
to
our
city
and
state,
as
they
work
with
us
to
not
only
make
the
Investments
that
they're
making
in
their
own
company,
but
in
our
community
to
further
Advance
workers.
Education.
I
Our
efforts
around
housing
conservation,
Etc
together
I,
wanted
to
call
this
out,
because
this
is
a
step
that
the
company
is
taking
in
collaboration
with
our
city
and
other
organizations
to
memorialize
their
own,
their
Investments
above
and
beyond
their
corporate
investments
in
this
city,
as
they
seek
to
apply
for
and
win
at
ships.
Grant
and
overall
I
appreciate
this
effort.
I
And
so
I
appreciate
that
the
company
is
proposing
a
community
investment
framework
would
encourage
the
council
to
support
this
resolution
that
acknowledges
it
and
be
because
this
will
be
a
part
of
a
larger
Community
Support
statement,
that's
created
as
they
apply
for
chips
funding
to
support
their
investment.
Here.
A
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
Any
other

B
I
move
that

interfering
with
the
immediate
consideration
of
ORD

be
suspended,
that
the

different

that

It

been
read
the
third
time
in
full.
G
D
E
G
A
E
A
All
right
and
for
our
Scout
groups,
that
was
the
more
procedural
part
of
the
city
council
meeting.
It
does
get
slightly
more
interesting
and
hopefully
a
lot
more
interesting
to
come.
So
if
you
do
want
to
stick
around
a
little
bit
longer,
you
certainly
can
we
are
moving
on
to
a
new
business
and
what
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
do
is
just
pull
that
first
item
that
was
off
the
consent
agenda.
A
H
Thank
you
mayor
members
of
the
council.
The
item
before
you
tonight
is
the
final
plat
application
for
the
Harris
Ranch
each
subdivision,
which
is
comprised
of
59
buildable
odds
and
two
common
Lots.
This
preliminary
plan
application
was
originally
heard
at
City
Council
on
June
29
2000
2021
for
these
type
of
final
applications
are
usually
consented
city
council.
However,
there
have
been
some
concerns
expressed
for
the
project
as
such,
it's
being
heard
as
you
can
see
from
the
slide.
The
subject
property
is
located
within
the
Foothills
at
the
end
of
council
Springs
Road.
H
It
is
located
also
within
the
Harris
Ranch
master
plan,
and
the
subdivision
was
conceptually
approved
as
part
of
this
master
plan
or
a
quick
history
of
the
Harris
Branch
development
as
pertains
to
the
subdivision.
In
summary,
the
Harris
Ranch
east
subdivision
is
now
proposing
59
buildable
Lots
Which
is
less
than
177
buildable
lots
that
were
allowed
to
the
Harris
Ranch
specific
plan
for
this
development
during
the
June
29
2021
city
council.
Preliminary
plot
hearing
the
neighbors
expressed
concerns
of
the
project
in
terms
of
traffic
Trailhead
parking
and
site
restoration
at
the
hearing.
H
City
council
addressed
these
concerns
and
in
terms
of
the
trailhead
parking
and
traffic,
the
council
then
instructed
the
applicant
to
work
with
achd
on
different
turnaround
designs
at
the
end
of
council
spring
roads.
As
such,
the
applicant
met
with
achd
regarding
different
alternative
designs,
but
achg
would
only
approve
the
turnaround
design
proposed
on
the
initial
plat.
However,
they
would
eventually
consider
an
alternative
design
for
the
turnaround,
but
the
site,
grading,
road
work,
storm
water
improvements
and
infrastructure
had
already
completed
at
that
point.
H
I
would
also
note
that
the
pulmonary
plot
requires
the
applicant
to
work
with
Richard
rivers
on
identifying
a
trail
pathway
through
through
the
site
connecting
Homestead
Trail
to
Peace,
Valley,
Trail
or
Peace
Valley
Overlook
Reserve.
This
Trail
is
marked
here
on
the
on
the
slide
as
shown
in
red
and
will
be
dedicated
within
a
public
access
easement.
The
trail
will
need
to
be
installed
prior
to
the
recording
of
the
subdivision.
In
conclusion,
the
final
plot
is
substantially
consistent
with
the
approved
preliminary
plot,
and
the
planning
team
recommends
approval.
Thank
you.
A
I'm
hearing
none
Scott
wonders
you're
more
than
happy
to
present
or
or
you
can
present
if
you'd
like
to,
if
you're
in
agreement,
you
can
say
you're
in
agreement
and
then
we
can
open
it
up
to
looks
like
you
want
to.
Thank
you.
J
Council,
member
Hallie,
Burton
Todd
Tucker,
actually
with
Boise
Hunter
homes,
business
address,
923,
South
Bridgeway
place
in
Eagle
Idaho.
So
a
couple
of
items
we're
in
agreement
with
all
the
conditions
of
approval.
We're
just
here.
J
We'd
heard
that
the
item,
one
that
the
neighborhood
association
had
some
concerns
to
address,
not
necessarily
what
the
project
itself
I
believe
they're
in
support
of
that
we've
been
fairly
good
partners
working
with
them
through
issues,
I
think
some
of
the
concerns
they
have
are
just
about
the
process
and
maybe
staff
and
some
things
that
have
happened
there
and
concerns
with
achd.
J
We're
like
I,
said
we're
in
agreement
with
all
of
the
conditions
of
approval,
I'm
excited
to
get
this
project
approved
and
and
get
get
started
on
it
as
far
as
the
finishing
it
I
guess,
we've
already
really
started
it
getting
finished
on
it.
I
know.
One
of
the
concerns
that
the
neighborhood
association
had
was
one
of
our
conditions
of
approval
is
that
we
donate
thirty
thousand
dollars
to
the
Harris
Ranch
wildlife
mitigation
Association,
those
those
fees
to
be.
J
There
was
no
timeline
really
on
it,
but
really
the
what
we
were
planning
on
is
is
donating
those
the
that
fee
or
that
that
that
money
prior
to
the
city
engineer
signing
the
the
mylar
on
the
final
plot
before
it
gets
reported.
J
However,
after
hearing
their
concerns
and
the
need
for
the
Harris
Ranch
wildlife
mitigation
Association
to
get
that
money
sooner,
I
actually
have
a
actually
have
a
check
that
we
cut
earlier
today
and
are
ready
to
donate
those
funds
now
ahead
of
when
we
initially
were
planning
on
doing
that
prior
to
the
city
engineer
signing
the
plot.
As
far
as
the
turnaround
goes,
you
know
the
the
instruction
was
really
for
staff
to
work
with
achd
and
try
to
get
that.
J
That
item
satisfied,
we
we
were
also
partners
with
them
and
trying
to
get
that
done.
We
presented
several
different
ideas.
I
have
several
different
meetings,
starting
back
in
July
of
2021,
all
the
way
up
until
February
of
2023
I'm
trying
to
get
that
worked
out
and
and
up
until
very
recently,
achd's
position
was
no.
J
You
can't
do
it
so
we
went
ahead
and
installed
all
the
infrastructure
utilities
that
we
needed
to
down
there
and
by
the
time
they
said,
okay,
we'll
waver
a
little
bit,
it
wasn't
feasible
anymore
because
it
didn't
fit.
J
So,
having
said
all
that,
we
are
in
support
of
the
staff
reports,
we're
in
agreement
with
all
the
conditions
of
approval
request,
your
approval
tonight,
like
David,
said.
Usually
these
are
held
on
or
heard
on
consent
agenda,
but
we
understand
that
neighborhood
association
want
to
address
them.
So
that's
really
all
that
I
had
to
say
on
the
item.
B
I
remember
the
meeting
I
remember
a
lot
of
discussion
about
that
turnaround.
It
was
unresolved
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
and
the
direction
was
go,
have
a
lot
of
meetings,
talk
and
coordinate
and
try
to
see
if
achd
will
move
or
if
there's
a
way
to
work
it
out
that's
acceptable
to
everyone.
I
understand.
B
You
then
had
a
bunch
of
meetings,
weren't
able
to
work
it
out
and
proceeded
to
construct
the
turnaround
as
proposed
and
designed
Now
achd
sort
of
after
the
fact
has
moved
and
is
willing
to
consider
a
different
style
or
different
configuration
for
the
turnaround,
but
you've
already
kind
of
embarked
on
your
journey
with
the
original
configuration.
And
so
the
issue
is,
do
you
have
to
go
back
and
undo
that
work
and
lose
that
cost
to
meet
now
that
achd
has
moved
and
it's
flexible
is
that
is
that
the
Crux
of
the
issue.
J
Council,
member
Halliburton,
councilmember,
Beijing
yeah,
that's
basically
yeah
correct.
The
direction
was
go:
try
to
figure
out
a
solution
with
achd.
We
had
several
meetings
with
them.
The
response
was
always.
This
does
not
meet
our
standards.
This
does
not
meet
our
policy
manual.
You
cannot
do
it
we're
not
going
to
allow
it,
and
so
we
we
couldn't
hold
up
our
progression
on
the
project
for
that
we
just
kept
getting
the
answer
of
no.
No.
No.
J
So
we
move
forward
installing
Idaho
Power
down
Council,
Springs
Road
and
some
other
utilities
and
the
the
the
large
drainage
basin
that
we
had
to
install
at
the
base
of
the
Hill
was
put
in.
After
all,
of
those
improvements
were
made
again,
we
never
received
anything
official
from
achd
I've
just
heard
through
the
homeowner,
not
the
homeowner,
the
neighborhood
association
that
oh
achd
has
now
changed
their
mind.
They
they
might
allow
something
different
in
there
than
than
what
they
had
before,
but
yeah.
J
At
this
point,
the
improvements
we
made
were
probably
if
we
have
to
go,
make
changes
rip.
All
of
that
out
we're
probably
looking
at
a
million
dollars
to
rip
out
what
we've
done
so
that
we
can
now
put
in
a
turnaround
at
the
end
of
the
road
that,
in
reality,
the
the
neighborhood
association
is
the
only
one
requesting
we
we
met
with
the
Boise
City
Planning
department.
They
we're
not
pushing
this
issue.
We've
met
with
achd.
J
We
obviously
know
that
they
didn't
think
it
was
an
issue
we
met
with
the
Parks
and
Recreation
Department
staff
members
as
well
from
the
city
of
Boise.
They
did
also
not
think
that
it
was
an
issue
or
a
needed
item.
So
all
of
the
responses
that
we
got
from
the
public
agencies
were
we
don't
want
this.
This
isn't
allowed
really
it's
the
neighborhood
association
which
we're
good
partners
with.
If
we,
if
it
could
have
worked,
we
would
have
been
happy
to
do
it.
J
B
So
one
more
question:
just
so:
I'm
clear,
yeah
the
direction
or
the
you
know.
The
conclusion
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
was
go:
have
these
meetings
and
see
if
it's
possible,
you
got
official
word
from
achd
that
the
answer
was
no
after
having
those
meetings,
so
in
my
mind
you
met
the
condition
and
now
there's
sort
of
soft
word
or
speculation
that
the
answer
might
be
yes
and
it
I
I
think
I,
understand
yeah
sorry
I
had
to
walk
through
it.
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you.
No
problem.
A
All
right,
thank
you.
I've
got
Gary
VC
from
the
Barbara
Valley
neighborhood
association,
I,
don't
know
if
you're
testifying
on
behalf,
but
on
behalf
of
the
barber
Valley
neighborhood
association
or
on
behalf
of
yourself.
A
All
right
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
give
you
up
to
eight
minutes
today.
I.

for
pulling
this
item
from
consent
tonight
to
allow
me
to
address
two
project
related
topics
that
have
not
played
out
as
expected
that
we
thought
you
should
be
aware
of.
First
and
foremost,
bbna
has
no
issues
with
final
map.
We
want
to
make
that
abundantly
clear
and
we
support
its
approval
tonight
to
complete
the
entitlements
for
the
project.
K
We
have
a
good
relationship
with
Boise
Hunter
homes.
Construction
is
ongoing
and
we
see
this
approval
as
of
tonight
as
a
formality.
At
your
June
29
2021
hearing
almost
two
years
ago,
bbna
requested
a
condition
of
approval
for
a
Trailhead
turnaround
to
prevent
vehicles
from
using
the
neighborhood
streets
and
trying
to
find
parking
at
the
trailhead.
K
K
Bvnh
chose
not
to
accept
a
vague
unexplained
position
about
an
unidentified
policy.
As
final,
we
were
able
to
establish
Communications
with
achd
staff
and
Leadership,
and
the
mayor's
Transportation
advisor
and
current
criteria
was
in
fact
exchanged
with
the
developer
to
attempt
to
provide
for
the
design
which,
at
the
time
achd
said
they
would
support.
K
It's
important
to
note,
however,
that
these
discussions
did
not
occur
until
just
three
months
ago,
one
and
a
half
years
after
the
hearing
once
the
design
was
evaluated,
it
was
determined
that
the
Harris
ran.
Excuse
me,
Harris
East
improvements
had
unfortunately,
already
progressed
too
far
to
allow
for
the
turnaround
had
a
true
resolution
of
this
matter
been
prioritized
early
on,
not
18
months
after
approval.
K
All
improvements
could
have
been
designed
to
achieve
the
right
solution
that
everyone
wanted,
and
unfortunately,
now
it's
too
late.
Additionally,
tying
satisfaction
of
conditions
to
the
final
map
hearing
or
the
recreation
of
the
map
is
far
too
late
in
the
process
in
this
case,
two
years
after
the
Project's
approval.
Yet
construction
has
been
ongoing
since
last
year,
satisfying
conditions
should
be
tied
to
the
issuance
of
permits
until
the
condition
is
satisfied
permits
should
not
be
issued.
K
K
We
appreciate,
then
council
person
clegg's
attempt,
but
it
ended
up
being
procedurally
unenforceable.
It
wasn't
a
condition
of
approval.
It
was
direction
to
staff
that
could
not
be
enforced
in
the
future.
Bvna
suggests
that
Expectations
by
Council
or
pnz,
be
in
the
form
of
a
condition
of
approval
to
make
it
binding
on
all
parties
and
to
formalize
the
requirement
so
parties
work
aggressively
and
collaboratively
to
satisfy
the
condition.
K
The
second
matter
is
another
procedural
matter
regarding
the
payment
of
the
thirty
thousand
dollars
by
the
developer
to
the
Harris
Ranch
wildlife
mitigation.
Association
again,
as
Todd
mentioned,
there's
a
there
was
a
lack
of
specificity
in
the
condition
which
would
have
delayed
payment,
we're
thrilled
to
hear
and
appreciate
it
very
much
the
fact
that
they
have
agreed
to
pay
the
to
make
the
payment
tonight.
K
However,
this
is
another
example
where
conditions
should
be
tied
to
permits
and
be
fair,
very
specific
about
when
they
should
be
complied
with.
Again,
there
was
no.
There
was
no
specificity
in
the
condition
of
approval,
which
would
have
tied
payment
to
a
specific
date.
So
thank
you
to
Boise
Hunter
homes
for
making
that
payment
tonight,
that's
about
all
I
had
tonight.
Thank
you
for
your
service
to
our
city
and
neighborhood
and
for
hearing
our
concerns
and
for
pulling
it
off
the
consent
agenda.
A
L
A
For
improvement
in
the
process
correct
questions
from
Council.
F
So
my
question
is,
would
you
have
had
us
propose
a
condition
regarding
achd
that
may
have
been
binding?
That
may
not
have
been
consistent
with
achd
policy.
K
Council
members,
I
I,
think
a
condition
could
have
been
stated
for
to
make
an
attempt,
not
necessarily
not
knowing
what
the
outcome
would
have
been
it
could
have
become.
It
could
have
been
made
as
a
condition
of
approval,
to
make
it
an
honest
effort
to
to
resolve
the
matter
and
come
up
with
a
solution,
a
design
solution
that
works
for
everybody.
K
In
the
end
we
were
able
to
accomplish
that,
but
so
with
a
little
effort
it
could
have
been
accomplished
and
we
in
fact
did
accomplish
it,
except
for
the
fact
that
physical
improvements
had
already
been
made
as
they
had
the
right
to
make.
They
had
a
permit
to
construct
those
those
utility
improvements,
but
unfortunately
the
timing
didn't
allow
the
two
to
to
marry
up.
You
know.
A
Thank
you
Gary.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
I
think
we
need
to
open
it
up
for
public
testimony
now
as
well.
I
don't
see
anyone
signed
up.
If
there's
anyone
in
the
audience
that's
planning
on
testifying
I,
don't
know.
If
there's
anyone
online
I,
don't
think
there
is.
A
G
B
For
Hallie
Burton:
well,
nobody
opposes
it.
So
that's
a
point
in
its
favor
I.
Remember
this
meeting
pretty
clearly
we
talked
about
this
for
a
long
time.
It's
not
really
a
basis
for
my
decision
here,
but
the
my
recollection
is
that
the
neighborhood
wanted
a
particular
configuration
of
turnaround.
B
We
recognized
that
we
don't
have
jurisdiction
over
the
way
that
those
are
built
or
configured.
We
wanted
to
accommodate
the
neighborhood
and
try
to
get
towards
a
resolution
that
would
make
everybody
happy,
and
so
we
moved
to
approve
it
with
the
condition
that
the
applicant
talked
to
achd
and
see
what
could
be
done.
B
That
condition
was
tied
to
the
final
plot,
which
is
why
we're
here
today
the
applicant
did
talk
to
achd
and
couldn't
get
it
done.
I
understand
the
neighborhood
had
its
own
Communications,
including
Communications,
with
the
elected
officials
at
achdu,
have
the
ability
to
influence
policy
and
they
made
some
progress,
but
the
fundamental
issue
and
the
reason
the
condition
is
squishy
is
because
we
can't
require
achd
to
do
anything.
We
certainly
can't
require
achd
to
violate
its
own
policy
and
constructing
a
turnaround.
So
we
as
a
gesture
of
Goodwill,
impose
the
condition
that
the
conversations
happened.
B
I
am
super
allergic
to
conditions
that
we
issue
that
say,
go,
have
a
conversation
or
go,
discuss
something
and
see
where
you
get
because
they're
on
specified
and
Mr
VC
is
right.
It's
vague
and
it's
open
to
gamesmanship.
Sometimes
I
prefer
we
didn't
issue
those
conditions
at
all.
I
prefer
we
just
followed.
The
letter
said
you
get
your
HD
HD
approval,
you're
good
to
go,
and
you
don't
do
these
additional
conversations,
but
we
did
it
as
a
way
to
try
to
accommodate
the
neighborhood
association
and
get
them
something
that
they
wanted.
I'm.
B
E
A
All
right-
and
if
you
don't
know,
that's
the
sound
of
the
rain
hitting
the
top
of
the
ceiling-
that's
a
little
bit
loud.
Maybe
it's
not
loud
for
you
all,
but
it's
loud
up
here
we're
going
to
move
into
what
was
going
to
be
our
first
item
in
new
business,
Valley,
Regional,
Transit
presentation
and
public
hearing
Brie
are
you
presenting?
Are
we
going
straight
to
Elaine
I.
E
M
Okay,
Council
prep
time,
council
members,
Brie
brush
mayor's
office
I
have
just
a
short
introduction
for
vrp.
M
Do
my
best
we're
here
tonight
to
conduct
your
annual
public
hearing
for
Transit,
so,
like
I,
said,
I'll
start
off
with
an
introduction
about
the
bridge
funding
you
heard
about
in
the
budget
workshop
for
a
VRT
a
couple
weeks
ago,
and
then
we'll
have
an
update
from
Valley
Regional
Transit
on
their
better
bus
initiative.
Then
we'll
go
into
the
public
hearing.
M
So,
like
I
said
a
few
weeks
ago
in
your
budget
Workshop,
you
heard
about
the
potential
for
bridge
funding
for
VRT
to
the
tune
of
about
a
million
and
a
half
dollars,
and
this
would
allow
us
to
avoid
pretty
drastic
service
reductions
for
VRT
while
they
pursue
a
sustainable
funding
strategy
with
their
new
leadership.
It
also
allows
us
to
make
some
performance
tweaks
eliminating
low
performing
routes,
while
still
adding
frequency
on
our
high
priority
best
and
class
bus
routes.
M
State
Vista
in
Fairview
and
staff
in
brt
will
continue
to
collaborate
on
further
changes
to
the
network,
but
that
this
allows
us
an
opportunity
to
continue
those
discussions
without
pretty
dramatic
reductions
to
the
network.
You'll
hear
a
little
bit
more
about
that
from
brt,
but
I
just
wanted
to
set
the
scene
for
kind
of
what
you'll
be
hearing
about
this
evening.
So
with
that,
I
would
stand
for
any
questions
and
then
I'll
hand
it
over
to
Elaine.
A
N
We
get
to
talk
about
conditions
that
we
kind
of
cobbled
together
to
try
and
help
the
neighborhood
and
I
get
to
listen
to
the
rain
on
the
on
the
roof
haven't
heard
for
a
while,
it's
great
to
be
here.
I
I
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
be
back
so
soon.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
for
the
public
to
weigh
in
on
transit
in
our
region.
I
think
it's
always
important
for
that
also
like
to
comment
how
good
it
was
to
hear
that
the
percent
for
art
amendments
are
finally
on
reading
calendar.
N
Thank
you,
Madam
mayor
council,
president
weddings,
council,
president
pro
tem
Holly,
Burton
and
council
members.
N
Let's
see
I
get
to
move
this
myself,
don't
we
so
we're
here
tonight
to
talk
about
remind
you
and
the
public
because
they
weren't
some
of
them,
probably
weren't
here
when
I
was
here
the
first
time
who
we
are?
Why
we're
here?
N
What
our
current
projects
are,
what
the
better
bus
initiative
is
and
then
a
little
more
time
on
the
activities
that
we've
as
Valley
Regional
Transit,
have
undertaken,
since
our
last
visit
a
little
bit
of
review
of
the
public
input
that
we've
received
based
on
that
and
then
talk
about
the
budget,
development
and
schedule
ongoing.
N
So
who
is
VRT
we're
18,
fixed
routes
across
two
counties?
We
have
on-demand
service
in
Canyon,
County
with
a
four
bus
system
and
just
began
on-demand
service
in
Eagle
with
a
two
bus
system.
At
current,
we
provide
access
service
to
those
who
are
disabled,
who
qualify
for
it.
We
have
specialized
transportation
service
and
those
are
for
older
adults
and
again
persons
with
disabilities
who
qualify
and
we're
actually
looking
to
expand
and
improve
that
service.
This
year.
N
We
also
do
some
Transportation
demand
management
across
the
region,
but
specifically
focusing
in
downtown
Boise
with
citigo,
and
with
that
particular
project.
We
work
with
a
lot
of
the
businesses
to
help
their
employees,
use
the
bus
more
easily
and
use
some
of
the
other
things
that
support
the
best
more
easily
as
well.
We
also
have
a
lot
of
things
that
help
writers.
We
have
a
help
desk,
we
have
trip
planning,
we
have
a
navigation
specialist
who
can
come
out
and
help
someone
learn
how
to
ride
the
bus.
N
N
N
As
you
can
see,
they're
focused
in
Ada
County
and
there's
a
reason
for
that.
There's
only
so
much
money
in
our
system
and
that
is
frankly
construct
of
of
the
state
and
the
way
that
we
are
authorized.
We
have
no
taxing
authorities,
so
all
of
the
funding
that
we
get
comes
either
from
money
that
we
can
earn
through
selling
advertising
or
other
things
or
fares
or
from
contributions
from
our
members
and
city
of
Boise,
has
always
been
the
highest
contributing
member.
N
We
absolutely
appreciate
and
count
on
that,
but,
as
you
can
see,
it
puts
us
well
behind
our
peers
in
terms
of
the
kinds
of
service
that
we
can
provide,
and
this
is
just
another
version
showing
that
the
actual
service
we
can
provide
for
those
dollars.
We
have
our
own
budget
development
process.
I've
been
learning
that
it's
kind
of
an
interesting
process.
N
The
first
part
of
it
follows
much
of
what
the
city
does:
we
analyze
previous
years
costs
and
expenses
and
look
at
projects
and
plan
projects,
but
then
we
have
to
allocate
revenue
or
a
request
for
Revenue
based
on
share
of
regional
costs,
population
service
hours
within
a
jurisdiction
and
then
count
on
our
partners
to
contribute.
We
don't
know
what
our
revenue
is
going
to
be
until
the
middle
of
August.
We
have
to
certify
our
budget
same
time.
You
guys
do
so.
It's
a
little
bit
challenging
frankly,
I've
learned
much
more
challenging
than
I
thought.
N
In
2019,
we
developed
an
mou
as
the
city
of
Boise.
That's
why
we're
here
tonight
we're
having
a
public
hearing,
because
that
mou
requires
it,
but
in
addition
to
the
public
hearing,
what
that
mou
asked
us
to
do
was
work
together
to
make
the
system
better
to
figure
out
what
the
long
term
was
going
to
be
and
I
think
we've
come
quite
a
ways.
In
those
those
few
years
we've
instituted
15-minute
Peak
service
on
State
Street
and
on
Vista
we
have
service
till
9
pm
on
many
routes.
N
We
have
enhanced
Saturday
service
and
we've
begun
electrifying
our
Fleet
to
begin
to
meet
the
climate
action
goals
that
the
city
has.
We
have
some
challenges
right
now,
with
wages
and
Fuel
and
insurance,
just
like
Olive
like
you
do
and
every
other
agency
right
now
we
were
able
to
fill
some
of
those
holes
with
coveted
relief
funds.
Those
are
now
depleted.
N
We've
been
able
to
increase
directly
generated
Revenue
more
than
we
thought
we
could
when
I
first
came
to
you
in
March,
and
we've
also
learned
that
our
Affairs
in
advertising
are
up
a
bit
more
than
we
thought
so
I
think
we're
actually
in
a
pretty
good
position
to
do
that
long-term
planning
that
will
need
to
do
to
understand
if
the
bridge
funding
that
you
are
so
generously
providing
can
get
us
to
a
long-term
solution.
N
Again,
a
little
bit
of
a
reminder.
We
were
successful
in
competing
for
two
discretionary
grants:
10
million
dollars
on
State
Street
to
help
with
projects
there,
20
million
dollars
to
continue
our
electrification
of
the
fleet.
A
couple
of
other
projects-
capital
projects,
our
Orchard
facility-
we're
expanding
that
lot
in
part,
because
the
electrification
and
then
we've
begun
building
better
Transit
Islands,
as
demonstrated
on
Fairview.
N
We
kicked
off
the
Lono
Grant
just
this
last
week
it
will
install
on-route
charging
at
Main
Street
Station
it'll,
extend
the
range
of
our
electric
Fleet
and
we'll
be
able
to
expand
the
fleet
as
a
result
on
State
Street.
We're
going
to
improve,
select
stops
along
the
Route
at
the
transitorian
development
nodes
that
were
identified
in
the
studies,
we'll
install
new
signage
and
we'll
build
some
connecting
sidewalks
and
Pathways
so
that
people
can
get
to
the
service
on
State
Street
more
easily.
N
Those
transferred
Islands
on
Fairview
will
soon
look
like
this,
we'll
be
adding
new
signage
that
will
make
them
much
more
visible.
Some
of
them
will
have
real-time
information,
and
all
of
them
will
have
QR
codes
to
get
to
more
detailed
route
information
foreign
we
hear
from
everyone
that
they
want
better
buses
and
we
do
too.
N
A
A
I
I
I
was
I
just
jumped
up
for
a
second.
Are
we
stopping
because
the
microphones
aren't
working
or
what's
going
on.
A
Okay,
I
think
we're
gonna
actually
go
ahead
and
call
the
meeting
back
to
order
it's
going
to
be
a
little
bit
tricky.
We
don't
know
when
the
storm
is
going
to
pass,
but
we're
actually
going
to
do
all
the
presenting
all
the
public
testimony
all
the
questions
from
Council
over
here.
A
If
you
all,
can
hear
well
from
where
you're
sitting
right
now
stay
where
you're
seating,
if
not
move
over
to
this
area,
if
it
does
start
to
ease
up
we'll
pop
back,
there
so
I'm
gonna
hand
it
back
over
to
director
Clegg,
and
we
will
take
the
meeting
from
the
seats
over
here
people
who
are
tuning
in
online.
A
N
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
talk
about
this
slide
again
because
I'm
not
sure
any
of
you
heard
what
I
was
talking
about.
This
is
the
slide
that
shows
our
long-term
Vision.
Aha,
we
can
get
at
least
one
yeah
I
think
that
one
at
least
can
turn
so
that
you
guys
can
see
it
better.
So
we'll
do
that
there
you
go
a
little
bit
better.
Okay,.
N
Go
so
this
is
our
long-term
vision
of
what
we
think
the
bus
system
could
be
like
if
we
had
the
amount
of
money
that
a
typical
region,
our
size,
would
have
and
that's
about
four
times
more
money
than
what
we
have
today.
But
what
you
see
here
is
the
beginnings
of
this
frequent
Network
that
we're
talking
about
already
I,
think
whoops
I
think
I
already
talked
to
you.
The
last
time
I
was
here
about
frequency.
This
is
just
a
reminder.
If
you
have
a
car
that
only
starts
once
every
hour,
it's
not
very
convenient.
N
If
you
can
start
it
every
30
minutes,
it's
a
little
more
convenient,
oh
wait!
A
minute!
I
can
start
my
car
every
15
minutes.
I
can
probably
make
that
work.
So
if
you
equate
that
to
a
bus
system,
if
you
can
have
a
bus
system
that
comes
every
15
minutes,
most
people
can
figure
out
a
way
to
make
that
work
and
make
it
well.
N
So
we
oops
ask
people,
would
you
support
more
frequency
and
people
said
yes
in
Boise
at
87
percent.
They
also
would
like
better
bus
rides,
which
means
more
Wi-Fi
on
the
buses.
Those
kinds
of
things
better
bus
stops
which
we'll
talk
about
in
a
minute
and
they'd
love
to
have
Regional
Rail,
but
they
also
said
yes,
we
would
support
if
our
city
council
were
willing
to
spend
more
money
on
that
and
especially
supported
that
when
we
talked
about
better
buses.
N
So
again
we
appreciate
your
commitment
to
making
that
happen.
N
I
keep
skipping
sorry,
my
slides
have
gotten
out
of
order
as
well.
There
we
go
so
we
redesigned
the
bus
system
and
put
it
out
for
public
comment
and
in
restructuring.
We
took
the
lower
performing
services
and
moved
them.
Remove
some
of
them
and
made
made
some
of
them
even
lower
perform.
N
You
know
even
less
convenient,
but
in
return
for
that,
we
took
the
frequent
routes
and
made
them
more
convenient
and
more
frequent
and
put
15-minute
service
on
Fairview,
for
instance,
and
ask
people
then
what
they
thought
so
remember
the
first
time
they
said.
Theoretically,
we
support
more
frequency,
better
buses,
and
then
you
say,
oh
yeah,
but
how
about?
If
it
affects
your
route?
How
do
you
feel
not
surprisingly,
people
felt
a
little
bit
different?
So
again,
just
reminder
this
is
what
the
network
looks
like
today.
N
N
We
got
a
lot
of
people
who
ride
currently
to
respond
to
the
survey,
which
is,
we
feel
like
a
really
good
thing,
but
we
also
got
some
people
who
don't
ride,
which
again
is
a
good
thing,
because
we're
hoping
that
those
are
people
that
might
be
attracted
to
these
better
routes
that
we're
creating,
and,
in
fact,
if
you
look
down
at
these
blue
bars
over
here,
you'll
find
that
the
people,
the
reason
people
don't
ride
today-
is
the
bus
doesn't
go
where
they
need
to
go,
and
it
doesn't
come
often
enough.
N
N
So
here's
support
for
the
particular
revisions
just
based
on
the
roots
that
you
would
typically
see
the
most
service
in
Boise.
If
you
look
at
just
the
support
for
the
root
revisions
in
general,
there
was
a
fair
amount,
more
support,
even
though
there
was
also
more
opposition.
But
if
you
look
at
the
comments
by
current
writers
of
that
route,
there
was
a
lot
of
opposition
to
the
changes
so
again,
not
surprising
to
us.
We
are
we
suspected.
That
would
be
the
case
really
interesting
thing.
N
We
thought
was
very
fun:
I
I'm,
very
excited
by
it.
A
writer
on
Route
10,
created
their
own
QR
code
survey
and
handed
it
out
to
people
to
go
onto
the
survey
and
comment.
That's
the
kind
of
public
participation,
I,
love
and
was
so
excited
to
see.
So
you
see
a
lot
of
comments
there,
that's
great
and
it's
partly
because
there
was
activism
there,
which
is
good.
N
So
what
we
heard
in
general
people
prefer
frequency
and
principle,
but
not
at
the
expense
of
coverage
of
a
server
route.
There's
strong
support
for
direct
connections,
both
the
direct
connections
that
we're
creating
with
the
Grid
in
Boise,
but
also
stronger
support
for
more
direct
Connections
in
her
County
there's
concern
about
how
on
demand
would
work.
N
We
recognize
that
we
didn't
explain
how
on
demand
would
work
very
well,
so
I'm
not
surprised
there,
we'll
do
a
better
job
with
that,
and
we
know
that
there
needs
to
be
a
review
of
the
balance
between
coverage
and
frequency
on
the
central
bench
and
particularly
in
particular,
and
on
the
inner
County
we'd
want
to
revisit
the
changes
in
Southeast
Boise
and
some
of
the
changes
on
Hill
Road,
and
we
know
that.
There's
concern
about
the
implementation
timeline.
N
I
was
concerned
about
the
implementation
timeline
myself
and
so
next
steps.
We
had
our
executive
board
meeting
yesterday
and
at
that
meeting,
I
requested
that
the
executive
board
postponed
the
final
decision
on
this
till
October
I
just
thought
August
was
too
soon
and
there
wasn't
enough
time,
especially
with
the
things
that
everyone's
staff
is
working
on
right
now,
to
work
together
to
get
good
collaborative
Solutions,
and
so
the
board
agreed
to
that.
N
So
between
now
and
October,
I'll
talk
about
the
specific
schedule,
we're
going
to
build
in
a
process
for
collaboration
with
your
staff,
with
staffs
of
other
agencies
and
other
cities
and
count
and
the
counties
and
also
look
develop
another
way
for
the
public
to
give
us
input.
Once
we
come
up
with
a
solution
or
a
final
proposal,
so
the
process
for
the
service
change
decision
will
still
go
to
the
Valley
Regional
Transit
board,
as
it
always
does.
N
N
So
tonight
we
get
to
hear
from
the
public.
Maybe
if
anyone
is
left,
we
hope
hope
there
is,
if
not
we'll,
we'll
be
taking
comment
from
them
again.
N
Between
now
and
July,
local
jurisdictions
will
finalize
your
budgets
and
that
will
help
us
begin
to
finalize
ours
between
today
and
July
21st,
we'll
collaborate
with
staffs
of
all
the
agencies,
cities,
counties,
we'll
collaborate
with
leadership
and
we'll
be
looking
at
those
comments.
We
already
got
and
work
on
those
to
come
up
with
a
final
proposal
and
then
we'll
that'll
give
us
a
bit
of
time
to
prepare
that
final
proposal
for
public
release.
N
We'll
launch
a
comment
period,
the
first
part
of
August
on
that
final
proposal
and
sometime
in
September,
we'll
have
two
public
hearings
in
Ada
County
and
two
public
hearings
in
Canyon
County.
Those
public
hearings
are
for
the
VRT
board
members,
but
city
council
members
and
mayors
of
the
jurisdictions
that
are
served
are
always
encouraged
to
come
to
those
and
be
part
of
them,
looks
like
we
may
get
to
a
point
where
we
can
go
back
up,
we'll
see
so
we'll
solicit
comments
and
hold
those
public
hearings
and
then
on
October,
2nd.
N
Thank
you
for
the
commitment
for
the
one-time
funds.
I
can't
tell
you
how
much
it
means
to
be
able
to
plan
not
to
cut
service
but
how
to
make
service
better,
and
that's
really
in
the
position
that
we're
in
now
and
even
though
there
will
be
changes.
We
firmly
believe
that
that
the
bulk
of
those
changes
will
be
to
produce
better
service.
So
thank
you.
We'll
use
the
input
we
get
tonight.
The
input
we've
gotten
so
far
develop
a
Transit
Network
that
supports
the
city
of
Boise's
comp
plan
and
new
zoning
rewrite.
N
We
met
for
the
first
time
with
staff
today
on
that
and
we're
excited
to
about
what
we
learn
from
each
other
I
think
we'll
develop
a
network
that
grows
productivity
or
ridership
and
grows
Fair
Revenue
as
ridership
grows.
We'll
do
that
through
frequency
and
connections,
but
we'll
keep
in
mind
the
coverage
that
is
vital
to
so
many
people
in
this
in
this
city.
N
By
responding
to
those
coverage
needs
and
their
public
comment
comment,
we
really
want
to
check
the
alignment
of
VRT
in
the
city's
environmental
goals,
we're
moving
toward
electrification.
You
got
you
all
have
a
climate
action
plan.
That's
been
based
on
a
deep
understanding
of
how
to
meet
your
climate
goals.
We
haven't
done
that
kind
of
analysis,
but
I
think
it's
time
that
we
begin
doing
that
and
seeing
you
know
what
is
our
goal
for
electrification?
How
soon
can
we
get
there?
N
What
are
the
challenges
that
we'll
face
along
the
way
and
I
think
there's
a
lot
to
learn
from
the
city
and
how
you
approached
it
as
we
do
that
and
then
we're
looking
hard
to
bring
new
partners
to
the
table
to
increase
long-term
funding
in
the
very
long
term,
well
in
midterm
funding
in
the
long
term,
we're
going
to
be
looking
to
find
a
taxing
Source,
a
taxing
authority
of
our
own
and
I.
Think
if
we
show
that
we're
doing
everything
we
can
to
make
a
better
system.
N
If
we
show
that
people
support
that
better
system
we'll
get
there,
but
in
the
short
and
Midterm
we
need
to
keep
the
system
working
as
well
as
we
can
so
that
we
can
prove
that
so
in
in
that
time
frame
we'll
be
looking
at
business
partners
at
through
potentially
business
Improvement
districts
or
other
kinds
of
mechanisms
to
see
if
we
can
bring
them
to
the
table,
potentially
look
at
homeowners
associations,
various
residential
developments
that
might
have
a
lot
of
writers
and
see
if
we
can
get
them
in
the
game
in
terms
of
funding,
we've
also
identified
some
federal
financing
options
that
might
help
us
provide
some
long-term
funding.
N
And,
finally,
we
want
to
plan
for
the
future.
We
know
that
we
need
to
separate
our
operations,
our
mno
and
our
capital
projects
in
our
funding
plans,
so
that
they're
more
easily
understood.
We
know
that
we
need
to
develop
those
options
for
further
service
enhancements
so
that
everyone
understands
what
they
are,
how
much
they
would
cost
and
where
they
would
go,
what
what
quarters
they'd
serve.
So
once
we
do
that,
we
will
update
our
Transit
development
plan,
which
is
similar
to
our
CIP
and
mno
and
budget
all
put
together.
N
It's
kind
of
an
interesting
plan
and
our
valleyconnect
2.0,
which
is
more
like
our
comprehensive
plan
once
we're.
There,
then
I
think
we
can
talk
about
base
contributions
going
forward
and
really
give
both
you
and
Valley
Regional
Transit
a
better
idea
of
what
kind
of
commitment
we
would
need
to
get
to
our
goals
and
how
soon
we'd
need
it.
And
with
that
I
stand
for
questions
and
welcome
any
input.
A
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
have
the
council
take
their
seats
back
up
here,
Bree,
if
you
wouldn't
mind
just
being
prepared
to
take
questions
and
if
you
are
planning
on
offering
any
public
testimony.
If
you
want
to
just
move
to
the
front
row
so
that
we're
ready
ready
to
rock
when
we
get
there
so
council
members
I
think
we
can
take
our
seats
and
get
ready
for
our
questions.
A
Well,
that
is
certainly
a
first
first
for
me,
my
time
on
Council
I,
don't
know
about
a
former
council
president
Lincoln.
If
she's
had
one
quite
like
this,
but
maybe
it's
a
sign
that
I'm
not
supposed
to
be
sitting
in
the
seat,
but
with
that
council
members.
If
you
have
any
questions
for
director
clay,
Now's,
the
Time.
B
Councilmember
Halliburton
councilmember,
Beijing
I
had
one
question
and
it's
kind
of
a
technical
question
I'm
going
to
ask
it
a
Brie
as
well,
but
in
the
there's
an
accompanying
memo,
where
we
talk
about
Bridge
funding,
a
couple
of
different
options:
staff
recommendation
for
option
two,
which
provided
additional
clarity.
B
They
both
referenced
funding
to
maintain
the
total
cost
of
existing
transit
services
for
fiscal
year
2024
and
future
years
as
necessary
and
I
was
a
little
bit
uncertain
as
to
what
that
meant.
B
If
here's
my
prior,
if
there's
a
certain
amount
of
money
and
you
need
it
this
year,
you
should
ask
for
it
this
year.
If
you
don't
know
how
much
money
you
need,
you
should
ask
her
how
much
money
you
need
this
year
and
if
you
need
more
next
year,
ask
for
that
amount
next
year.
What
we
don't
want
to
do
is
you
know,
write
a
big
check
that
doesn't
create
incentives
to
make
progress
for
two
years
or
longer
and
then
have
that
sitting
out
there.
So
maybe
that's
not
what
that
language
means
at
all.
B
But
that's
what
I
wanted
to
talk
about
both
From
vrt's
perspective
and
then
the
cities
to
understand
what
goals
we
were
trying
to
accomplish.
That's.
N
A
great
question:
I'll
take
it
first
from
our
perspective,
we
asked
for
what
we
thought
we
needed
to
keep
the
same
number
of
service
hours
in
the
system
for
next
year,
because
we've
been
more
successful
with
advertising
and
a
couple
of
other
things
that
we
thought
that
1.5
million
might
go
a
little
bit
further
than
next
year.
We're
not
you
know
nothing
certain
in
in
our
our
financing.
World
that
was
unknown
when
we
asked
for
it
in
March,
doesn't
mean
that
reducing
that
would
make
it
easier.
N
N
If
you
want
to
grow
that
service
I
would
tell
you
I,
don't
anticipate
that
level
of
funding
being
less
in
the
future
on
an
ongoing
basis
unless
we're
very
successful,
more
successful
than
I'm,
hoping
well
I'm
that
I'm
predicting,
but
not
more
successful
than
I'm,
hoping
for
in
earning
that
other
funding
through
business
Partnerships
and
the
things
I
talked
about
so
I,
don't
know
if
that's
real
clear,
but
yes,
we
need
this
much
funding
going
forward,
we're
trying
to
find
other
ways
to
get
it
we're
trying
to
clarify
what
the
process
is
and
where
all
the
money's
going,
so
that
you
can
make
a
better
decision.
N
B
B
What
we
should
talk
about
as
we
get
into
our
budget
process
further,
is
just
a
way
of
ensuring
that
we're
transparent
and
clear
on
whether
this
is
one-time
funding,
whether
this
is
multi-year
funding,
whether
this
is
accidentally
and
kind
of
inadvertently,
committing
to
Something
in
perpetuity
that
we
didn't
quite
intend
and
just
creating
more
certainty
so
that,
as
as
you
said,
Council
I
almost
said
council
member,
as
you
said,
Elaine,
we
all
know
what
expectations
are
being
set
and
we
know
what
goals
we're
trying
to
achieve
together.
M
Pro
tem,
the
only
thing
that
I
would
add,
is
when
we
fall
when
staff
follows
a
step
ahead
of
your
budget
process.
We
have
a
resolution
that
says
you
know
this
is
the
funding
we
commit
to
VRT.
We
can
also
include
in
there
just
some
I
guess,
reporting
or
billing
set
up
that
we
would
like,
like
our
typical
structure.
Is
they
bill
us
Capital
as
it
comes,
so
we
don't
ever
pay
for
the
full
amount
at
once
like
there
are
things
we
can
do
to
sort
of
get
at
that
and
truck
through
it.
Okay,.
B
And
maybe
I'm
the
only
one
who
has
a
concern,
in
which
case
it's
not
a
concern
of
council.
Then
it's
just
me
and
it
doesn't
matter,
but
it's
good
to
be
clear
and
and
it's
good
to
not
make
open-ended
multi-year
commitments
in
a
single
budgetary
cycle,
so
just
putting
up
internet
to
talk
about
more
as
we
get
to
that
point.
Great.
A
And
now
questions
from
other
council
members
questions
council
president
pro
Tem
or
not
pro-time
president.
O
Thank
you,
I,
don't
have
any
questions,
but
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
really
appreciate
the
extra
work
that
was
done
since
our
last
work
session
on
VRT
funding
and
the
work
that
director
Clegg
put
in
with
our
staff
to
develop
a
good
recommendation
based
on
what
they
heard
from
us
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
public
hearing.
So
that's
all
I've
got
right
now.
Thank
you.
A
Great,
thank
you.
Council
president.
One
question:
I
guess
that
I've
got
I,
think
that
you
have
outlined
that
you're
going
to
maintain
the
same
with
the
funding
is
approved,
you're,
going
to
maintain
the
same
amount
of
service
hours,
but
not
necessarily
the
same
service
areas
as
far
as
the
routes
go.
So
there
may
be
some
routes
that
do
get
cut
or
reduced.
You
know,
even
though
the
service
hours
will
stay
the
same
and
so
I
guess
what
I'm?
What
I'm
trying
to
understand?
N
A
N
You
councilman
president
pro
tem.
Yes,
I!
Think
that
the
scenario
three
was
in
fact
providing
some
coverage
with
on-demand
Services
right
now.
The
city
already
supports
supplement
committing
services
with
lift
connections
which
allow
you
to
order
a
lift
for
two
dollars.
That
gets
you
to
a
Transit
connection,
we're
looking
at
whether
or
not
that's,
maybe
the
best
way
to
provide
some
service
in
places
where
it
might
get
cut.
N
We're
also
looking
potentially
at
providing
Trippers
or
peak
hour
service
on
particular
routes,
where
the
ridership
is,
is
very
peaky
and
not
all
day
as
a
way
to
preserve
some
service
hours
and
still
move
some
of
those
to
frequency.
So
those
are
the
kinds
of
questions
that
we'll
be
asking
ourselves
and
your
staff
and
the
public
as
we
develop
this
final
proposal.
N
The
on-demand
service
that
just
started
in
Eagle
is
is
proving
to
be
pretty
easy
to
use,
but
we
did
not
do
a
good
job
I,
don't
think
of
explaining
how
it
works
and
what
it
is
when
we
propose
the
scenarios
to
the
to
the
folks
in
may,
we
do
have
a
little
bit
of
experience
now
with
it
in
Canyon.
A
Thank
you
for
the
answer
and
second
part
there
just
to
follow
up
at
this
point.
Do
we
know
the
specific
routes
that
we
think
we
might
be
cutting
or
reducing,
or
is
that
still
kind
of
being
evaluated
through
this
process?
We.
N
Know
the
three
routes
that
showed
having
the
lowest
performance
overall,
we
showed
those
to
you
last
time
and
that's
the
10
and
the
four
and
the
one.
N
We
know
that
the
10,
for
instance,
has
good
ridership
Peak
during
Peak
periods.
We
know
that
one
has
some
demand
During
certain
times.
N
A
A
P
P
I'm
Ian
Bott
I
live
on
2260
Harrison,
Boulevard,
Apartment,
208,
Boise,
Idaho,
83702
and
I
want
to
say
that
having
the
having
some
that
the
bus
system,
I've
used
for
20
years
and
I
was
a
volunteer
and
I
have
done
some
other
various
bus
projects
and
and
advocacy
in
the
past
and
I.
Think
that
my
main
two
points,
one
I've
known
some
of
the
riders
for
a
long
time
and
I've
known
a
lot
of
pastors
and
it
to
me
the
bus
system
is
like
and
under
it's
like
an
umbrella.
P
Family
and
I
have
definitely
seen
a
lot
of
relay
solid
amounts
of
rapport
with
some
of
the
bus
passengers
and
the
drivers
and
I
have
seen
some
of
the
and
they
have
become.
Some
of
them
have
become
like
family
members
to
a
lot
of
them.
The
next
point
that
I
want
to
say
is
that,
with
the
bus
system
being
having
more
chances
during
the
peak
hours,
you
would
be
getting.
You
would
still
be
able
to
keep
a
lot
of
the
routes
and
I
feel
like
also
with
the
bus
system.
P
You
there's
a
lot
of
people
who
our
students
say,
use
it
so
I
feel.
Like
you
know,
more
money
would
potentially
keep
some
of
the
routes
and
you
would
potentially
get
some
college
students
using
some
of
the
routes
as
well
so
I'm
in
favor
of
the
changes
I.
The
only
concern
I
have
is
that
the
10
would
not
run
as
often
but
with
the
nine
being
walkable
from
where
I'm
at
only
like
a
milestone,
walk
and
it
running
every
15
minutes.
P
That's
not
a
total
concern,
because
I
would,
just
most
days
are
walkable
to
get
there.
So
thank
you
for
your
time
and
if
anyone
has
any
questions,
you
can
ask
you
can
ask
me
and
I'm
I'll
be
happy
to
stand
for
anything
well.
A
Ian
I
appreciate
you
hanging
in
there
with
us
tonight.
I
believe
that
you
test
did
you
testify
last
year
during
the
VRT
public
hearing,
yeah
I
thought
so
well,
I
appreciate
you
throwing
up
to
testify
and
hanging
out
with
us
throughout
the
storm.
It
looks
like
you
might
have
a
couple
questions
from
council
members.
B
No
Mr
Bob
I
was
just
going
to
say,
I.
Remember
you
from
last
year
and
thanks
for
coming
again,
I
am
really
impressed
that
you
made
it
down
here
in
this
weather
and.
P
A
M
L
So
my
head
nod
was
just
in
agreement
with
what
Bree
was
saying
so
I
think
the
council
can
provide
Direction
back
to
Brie
and
we
would
bring
it
back
kind
of
form
of
a
resolution
and
if
it
needed
tweaking
at
that
time,
that's
when
we
would.
We
would
tweak
thank.
A
Yeah
and
I
think
most
folks
are
there.
It
doesn't
sound
like
we
actually
need
to
have
a
motion
on
the
table.
I
think
I
would
remind
Council
that
this
amount
of
funding
is
built
into
the
budget
at
this
point,
and
Steph
is
looking
for
any
sort
of
direction
or
feedback
to
bring
back
in
a
resolution
form.
A
B
B
We
have
two
options
in
a
memo
here,
they're,
basically
the
same,
but
one
provides
some
additional
context
for
the
money.
That
makes
sense-
and
it's
great
my
concern
is
kind
of
this
sentence.
B
That
I
think
is
important
is
that
if
it's
Bridge
funding
it's
temporary,
if
it's
funding
to
cover
a
shortfall,
it
should
be
a
specific
amount,
and
if
it's
from
the
fiscal
year
2024
budget,
it
should
cover
a
one-year
cycle.
If
what
we're
really
intending
is
to
permanently
fund
some
sort
of
shortfall.
You
know
we
should
say
that
and
do
that.
But
if
we
think
that
this
money
might
last
for
multiple
years,
then
we
should
be
using
the
excess
to
offset
the
five
percent
from
some
next
year.
B
If
that's,
if
it's
actually
Bridge
funding-
or
we
should
you
know,
we
should
have
more
clarity
around
this,
because
right
now,
it's
too
squishy.
It
essentially,
in
my
mind,
says
we're
going
to
provide
Bridge
funding
for
an
unknown
period
in
an
unknown
amount
for
unspecified
purposes,
and
that's
just
too
fuzzy
in
my
mind,
so
not
saying
that
money
doesn't
need
to
come,
or
you
know
anything
like
that,
but
more
transparity,
transparency
and
clarity
about
how
we're
going
to
be
allocating
it
on
what
timeline
and
how
it
will
be
used
would
be
nice.
G
Keith
I
just
to
follow
up
on
council
member
agents,
a
comment
there
I
read
this
a
little
bit
differently,
so
maybe
I'm
less
concerned,
but
I
think
it's
just
a
matter
of
phrasing.
As
I
read
it
it's
the
cost
to
maintain
existing
services
for
this
year,
but
as
we
move
forward
and
moving
and
some
of
the
implementation
of
the
things
that
you
want
to
do
in
this
fiscal
year,
that's
going
to
impact
future
years
is
how
I
read
it,
but
I
just
I
guess
to
the
council
members
point.
O
A
A
Maintaining
the
amount
of
service
hours
that
we
have
I
do
have
some
concerns
about
I'm
route
number
10,
specifically
because
it's
used
a
lot
by
our
population
with
Refugee
resettlement
background
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that,
as
we're
kind
of
evaluating
there,
that
we
do
some
extra
due
diligence
and
working
out
to
some
of
that
community
and
making
sure
that
there's
kind
of
awareness
of
some
of
the
other
options
that
might
be
out
there
if
there
is
a
reduction
in
service
or
hours
in
that
area,
but
really
appreciate
the
time
and
effort
put
into
this.

Q
Good
evening,
mayor
council
members,
the
item
before
you
is
a
request
for
the
vacation
of
a
plot.
Note,
the
delineate
setbacks
associated
with
the
Big
Sky
subdivision
number
two.
The
subject
property
is
located
at
4277
North
Columbine
Street
on
0.93
Acres
within
an
r1a
BSN
single-family
residential
with
Big
Sky,
neighborhood
overlay
Zone.
Q
The
subject.
Plaid
note
that
was
established
through
the
Big
Sky
subdivision
number
two
recorded
in
1971
defines
25
foot
side
and
rear
setbacks
for
the
subdivision
which
the
applicant
requests
to
vacate
in
order
to
construct
an
accessory
structure
in
the
rear
portion
of
the
property,
with
20-foot
side
and
rear
setbacks.
In
accordance
with
the
Big
Sky
neighborhood
overlay
dimensional
requirements,
the
proposed
location
of
the
accessory
structure
was
preferred
by
the
applicant
in
order
to
retain
an
existing
mature
Willow
Tree
in
the
rear
yard.
Q
With
the
reduced
rear
setback
of
20
feet,
approximately
45
feet
would
separate
the
proposed
structure
from
the
nearest
residential
building
to
the
West,
which
is
not
within
the
BSN
overlay
and
zoned
r1c.
Large
mature
trees
along
the
shared
property
line,
buff
of
the
two
properties
and
the
visual
impact
of
the
proposed
accessory
structure
will
be
minimal.
This
vacation
will
only
apply
to
the
subject
property.
A
All
right.
Do
we
have
the
applicant
here
Paul
George,
any
additional
comments.
Are
you
in
agreement
with
staff,
wonderful
I,
don't
think
we
have
any
one
from
West
Valley
neighborhood
association.
Nobody
here
from
the
public
to
testify
all
right,
we'll
go
ahead
and
close
that
and
open
up

SOS
23-14,
David,
Moser
you're

up.
H
Thank
you,
mayor
members
of

The
applicant
is
requesting
a
vacation
of
a
plot
note
that
prohibits
vehicle
access
to
Bogart
lane
from
the
Silver
Cloud
subdivision.
The
central
property
is
about
two
acres
in
size
and
located
at
6124
North
Bogart
Lane
in
a
c2d

and,
as
you
can
see
from
the
aerial

is
located
at
the
intersection
of
Bogart

in
2013,
Ada
County
approved
the
Silver
Cloud
subdivision,
with
a
plot
note
that
prohibits
direct
vehicle
access
to
Bogart
Lane.
H
Since
it's
a
collector
or
our
collector
roadway,
the
city,
the
city
of
Boise,
intends
to
construct
fire

number
13
on
subject
property,
which
requires
vehicle
access
to
Bogart

from
the
fire
station
and
the
associated
parking
lot.
As
such,
the
above
mentioned,
plot

in

Thank
you
mayor
members
of
council.
The
item
before
you
tonight
is
a
preliminary
plaque
comprised
of
nine
buildable
lots
and
one
common
lot
on
0.97
Acres,
located
at
10133
West
Overland
Road
in
nod,
Zone
on
May,
8th
2023,
the
Planning
and
Zoning
commission
approved
a
conditional
use
permit
for
Planned
unit
development,
comprised
of
nine
attached,
Town
townhouse
dwellings
and
recommended
approval
of
the
preliminary
subdivision.
H
The
Pud
was
not
appealed
and
only
the
preliminary
plot
is
before
council
tonight
now,
as
you
can
see
from
the
aerial
photograph,
the
property
is
located
between
an
assisted
living
facility
to
the
North
and
the
D
chat
single-family
residential
neighbor
to
the
south.
In
addition,
there
are
more
intense
commercial
uses
located
along
Overland
Road
to
the
North,
and
the
side
was
within
about
a
quarter
mile
of
a
community
activity
center
located
at
Five
Mile
an
overlap,
an
Overland
Road
intersection,
there's
also
public
transit
along
Overland,
Road
abutting
the
site.
H
This
slide
shows
the
preliminary
Platt
site
layout
for
the
project.
The
development
is
comprised
of
nine
attached
two-story
townhouses,
with
a
density
of
9.2
units
per
acre
in
a
nano
Zone
which
allows
14.5
units
per
acre
density,
the
Pud
granted
reduced
interior
side
setbacks
and
allowed
for
reduced
lot
sizes,
widths
and
Street
Frontage
standard
requirements.
In
order
to
construct
the
the
approved
townhouses,
it
should
be
noted
that
there
was
opposition
for
the
project
at
PNC.
Hearing
these
concerns
are
generally
involved
traffic
potential
adverse
impacts
on
the
adjacent
properties
of
compatibility.

that
very
adventurous,
unexpected
city
council
meeting
we'll
take
a
motion
to
adjourn.

Council
member
Hallie
Burton
I
would
just
like
to
note
that
I'm
in
Eugene
Oregon
today,
and
it
is
perfectly
dry
and
sunny
here
so
I-
don't
know
how
the
world
is
upside
down,
but
I
hope
that
everyone
stays
dry
out
there.
Yeah.
