A
We
will
go
ahead
and
call
the
meeting
to
order.
The
council
president
will
be
arriving
shortly
and
just
before
we
do
the
attendance
we're
just
going
to
flip
the
order.
So
instead
we're
going
to
start
with
brandy,
welcome
brandy
for
a
presentation
on
organizing
our
city
government
and
then
we'll
move
into
kathy
griezmeyer's
discussion
of
federal
funding
opportunities
and
then
we'll
finish
with
interim
budget
changes.
C
C
So
mayor,
council
members,
my
name
is
brandi
burns,
I'm
the
history,
programs,
manager
for
the
boise
city,
department
of
arts
and
history,
and
I
get
the
honor
of
sharing
with
you
the
story
of
how
we
organized
our
municipal
government.
C
This
area
was
home
to
shoshone,
banik
and
northern
paiute
peoples,
and
it
was
also
an
annual
meeting
place
where
tribes
came
together
and
traded.
They.
C
You
know
the
the
tribes
that
called
the
this
area
home
they
fished
in
the
river
they
they
got
to
enjoy.
Many
of
the
things
that
we
enjoy
today,
such
as
mild
winters
and
warm
summers
they
fished
salmon
out
of
the
boise
river,
and
it
was
quite
the
place
to
be
these
tribes
encountered
indirect
euro-american
contact
from
around
1700
to
1811,
and
then
they
were
experienced
direct
contact
once
a
gold
was
discovered
in
the
boise
basin
area
and
like
many
western
cities
in
the
united
states,
boise
really
blossomed.
C
As
a
city
during
the
gold
rush,
gold
was
found
in
the
boise
basin
in
august
1862,
which
is
where
I
grew
up
at
thousands
moved
to
the
area
in
hopes
of
finding
gold
and
on
march
4th
1863,
the
united
states
government
created
idaho
as
a
new
territory
in
response
to
this
large
influx
of
population,
and
the
president
lincoln
was
also
very
interested
in
the
money
for
the
civil
war.
C
The
rise
of
mining
interests
and
all
this
population
boom
prompted
the
us
military
to
establish
fort
boise
in
the
summer
of
1863.
So
just
a
few
short
months
after
the
territory
was
created,
the
fort's
commander
was
major
picnie
lujan
beale
and
he
selected
the
site
for
the
fort.
They
began
construction
on
july
6th
and
they
and
he
worked
with
residents
of
the
area
to
plat
the
city,
the
very
next
day
on
july
7th-
and
this
is
the
the
plot
that
they
drew
out.
It
was
10
blocks.
C
They
wrote,
as
you
can
see,
on
the
map.
Here
they
wrote
names
of
individuals
who
were
laying
claim
to
the
lots,
and
some
of
the
lots
were
reserved
for
pinkney
lujan
beale
and
he
wrote
to
his
family
quote.
I
believe
they
have
given
me
three
or
four
lots.
If
the
town
ever
becomes
worth
anything,
I
will
give
the
lots
to
you
children
now.
I
don't
know
if
how
long
he
held
on
to
those
but
they'd
be
worth
quite
a
bit
today.
C
This
is
a
photo
of
main
street
in
1866.
You
can
see
the
dirt
road
that
was
main
street.
A
lot
of
buildings
had
popped
up
in
those
few
short
years,
mostly
wood
construction,
and
it
was.
We
were
quite
a
busy
supply
town
not
only
for
the
miners,
but
as
a
stopping
off
point
for
people
continuing
westward.
C
And
boise
was
really
interested
in
being
the
capital
and
in
an
attempt
to
prepare
for
that.
The
citizens
had
really
started
to
spruce
up
the
city.
After
only
a
year
of
development,
boise
had
quote
about
60
buildings
of
various
shapes
sizes
and
constructions
and
in
construction,
most
of
which
were
lumber
intersper
interspersed
with
adobe
peat
or
turf.
We
had
nine
general
stores,
two
breweries,
two
blacksmith
shops,
a
lumber
yard,
a
butcher
shop,
a
tin
store,
and
everyone
is
really
they
like
to
point
this
out.
C
We
were
designated
as
the
capital
because
of
the
efforts
of
one
of
those
founders
of
that
day
on
the
plat,
as
they
were,
drawing
out
the
plat.
His
name
was
henry
c
riggs,
and
one
of
the
northern
newspapers
described
him.
This
way
quote
he
is
a
man
of
fine
appearance
and
business
qualifications
and
would
make
a
useful
member
if
he
were
not
troubled
with
territorial
capital
and
boise
city
on
the
brain.
C
The
only
things
he
has
asked
for
yet
for
boise
city
are
the
territorial
capital,
a
branchment,
an
assay
office,
a
distributing
post
office
and
a
division
of
boise
county
and
the
location
of
the
county
seat.
At
that
place,
I
have
to
say
that
riggs
was
such
an
astute
politician
that
he
secured
all
of
those,
except
for
the
branch
mint
and
because
of
those
efforts.
Boise
was
designated
as
the
capital
effective
december
24th
1864..
C
C
C
Now
this
is
a
a
great
1873
map
of
idaho
and
montana
and
wyoming,
and
in
it
ada
county
is
just
it's.
It's
actually
quite
large.
It's
this
big
boise
county
used
to
constitute
all
of
that
area,
and
so
ada
county
was
divided
out
of
boise
county
and
we
became
an
independent
county
on
february.
6
1865
and
the
newspaper
of
the
idaho
statesman
described
us
this
way
quote
geographically,
our
position
is
unequaled
with
respect
to
the
richest
minds
in
the
world.
C
C
It
is
not
too
much,
therefore,
to
look
for
this
to
become
the
richest
agricultural
county
of
equal
area
to
be
found
anywhere
and
in
that
same
article,
the
paper
noted
that
the
seat
of
government
of
the
territory
is
legally
here,
though
temporarily
in
the
hands
of
a
lawless
mob
and
what
they
were
referring
to
was
the
lewiston
probate
judge
who
was
preventing
the
papers
of
the
territorial
government
to
come
down
here
to
boise,
the
judge
had
ruled
that
boise
had
been
improperly
established
as
the
capital
and
that
the
territory
no
longer
had
a
legitimate
government.
C
The
judge
also
authorized
the
sheriff
to
prevent
idaho,
governor
caleb
lyon
from
leaving
the
city
and
that
that's
who
is
pictured
here.
Lion
was
quite
an
eccentric
governor
and
he
was
fairly
annoyed
at
these
turn
of
events.
So
under
a
ruse
of
going
duck
hunting,
he
escaped
the
territory
and
went
into
washington
territory.
C
He
did
that
on
december
29
1864
and
this
left
idaho,
without
a
chief
executive,
and
this
made
the
lewiston
judge,
place
the
territorial
seal
and
all
of
the
archives
in
the
county
jail
under
an
armed
guard.
24
7..
C
These
items
were
really
only
symbolic
of
territorial
government.
They
didn't
really
have
any
intrinsic
significance
outside
of
that,
but
they
were
going
to
hold
on
to
them
and
not
let
them
out
and
so
for
three
months
this
occurred.
C
They
thwarted
all
of
boise's
efforts
to
get
the
records
back,
but
acting
governor
clinton,
dewitt
smith
finally
reached
idaho.
He
had
been
trying
for
six
months
but
was
delayed
and
he
actually
used
military
support
from
fort
laughlin
to
overcome
the
guards
and
remove
the
items
from
the
jail,
and
he
arrived
in
boise
on
april
14
1865
to
a
hero's
welcome,
and
despite
all
of
this
excitement
that
we
had
about
becoming
the
capital
city
of
the
territory,
there
were
a
lot
of
people
who
were
reluctant
to
establish
municipal
government.
They
passed.
C
There
was
an
election
in
january
of
1865
to
pass
our
city
charter,
but
they
defeated
those
efforts.
They.
The
paper
noted
that
voting
was
light
overall
and
the
charter
had
only
failed
by
24
votes
and
that
really
they
weren't
sure.
If
that
should
count,
since
they
were
pretty
sure
that
people
outside
of
city
limits
were
voting
and
had
skewed
the
results.
C
But
nonetheless,
the
charter
didn't
pass,
and
it's
just
really
it's
it's
unique
to
think
about
how
excited
everybody
was
to
be
the
capital
city,
and
yet
they
were
not
willing
to
establish
a
local
government,
a
local
city
government.
On
top
of
all
of
that.
C
C
Excuse
me
by
naming
a
temporary
council
and
mayor
in
the
text
of
the
city
charter,
but
somehow
they
neglected
to
actually
name
anybody
in
the
charter,
so
it
effectively
postponed
the
organization
of
our
municipal
government
for
several
months
until
we
could
hold
a
municipal
election
on
monday
may
1866,
which
is
just
a
little
over
a
year
after
clinton
smith
had
reached
boise,
and
at
this
point
you
really
see
the
anti-charter
movement
take
hold.
C
There
were
citizens
debating
the
the
drawbacks
and
the
benefits
of
having
municipal
government
and,
as
you
can
imagine,
most
of
them
on
the
side
of
the
anti-charters
were
because
of
taxes.
They
were
very
anti-tax
and
the
the
reason
that
they
listed
was
all
of
the
hardships
that
they
were
experiencing
in
boise
at
the
time
and
just
to
give
you
a
picture
of
what
they
were
experiencing.
C
I'm
going
to
read
a
little
bit
of
a
letter
from
acting
governor
smith,
where
he
wrote
home
to
his
brother
quote.
The
past
winner
has
been
the
most
severe
of
any
ever
known,
and
hence
everybody
is
behind
hand.
It
put
back
all
mining
operations,
as
well
as
agricultural,
immense
quantities
of
stock
died
and,
owing
to
the
impassable
condition
of
the
roads,
provisions
became
very
scarce
when
the
snow
at
last
commenced
melting.
The
rivers
and
streams
raised
so
high
that
nearly
every
bridge
in
the
territory
was
swept
away.
C
So
by
the
time
we're
trying
to
get
the
charter
passed
in
1866
people
were
still
experiencing
the
after
effects
of
these
of
this
winter.
They
were
living
in
very
small
homes.
As
governor
smith
wrote,
he
declared
boise
homes
of
the
time
quote
magnificently,
odious
and
grandly
small
end
quote
now.
This
is
coming
from
the
perspective
of
a
man
from
the
east,
so
he's
used
to
a
different
type
of
living.
At
that
time,
the
1866
charter
did
fail.
C
The
the
people
elected
several
individuals
that
ran
on
the
ticket
that
if
they
were
elected,
they
would
refuse
to
organize,
and
so
we
had
to
delay
talking
about
becoming
a
city
again
until
january
1867,
and
that's
when
the
territorial
legislature
tried
the
charter
issue
again.
This
time
they
said
you
only
get
10
days
to
hold
an
election
and,
of
course,
the
anti-charter
movement
organized
very
quickly.
Again,
they
won
233
votes
to
133.
C
They
elected
dr
ephraim
smith
here
who
of
course
refused
to
take
office
and
his
council
declined
to
organize
and
of
course
they
they
listed
taxes
and
expenses.
As
the
chief
reason
of
why
we
shouldn't
organize,
and
then
things
started
to
change
later
that
year,
in
november
1867,
the
idaho
statesman
published
an
article
that
discussed
the
townsite
law
that
congress
had
recently
passed
and
how
that
law
would
affect
securing
land
titles
in
boise.
C
The
newspaper
urged
officials
that
had
been
elected
in
that
previous
election
to
go
ahead
and
organize
just
so
that
they
could
deal
with
this
issue
of
land
titles.
They.
They
especially
noted
that
they
didn't
need
to
worry
about
anything
else.
They
just
needed
to
do
this
one
thing,
and
then
they
could
leave
office.
C
So,
after
a
lot
of
deliberation,
the
majority
of
officials
did
decide
to
take
office,
except
for
dr
ephraim
smith.
He
refused
to
take
office,
and
so
they
appointed
henry
prickett
as
mayor
and
just
as
a
little
side
note.
Prickett
would
later
serve
as
the
territorial
he
would
serve
as
a
justice
of
the
territorial
supreme
court.
C
C
So
they
they
went
ahead
and
did
that.
The
mayor
submitted
this
plat,
not
this
particular
one.
But
this
outline
of
the
new
plat
on
november
25th
1867,
the
city
had
grown
from
10
blocks
to
140
blocks,
and
they
had
reserved
two
whole
blocks
right
here
for
construction
of
the
capital
building
and
it
took
a
little
bit,
but
eventually,
president
ulysses,
s
grant
signed
our
town
site
patent
on
may
2nd
1870
and
we
we
were
official.
C
The
newspaper
kept
saying
things
like
well,
they
did
the
town
site
law,
we're
all
legal.
Now
we're
not
going
to
have
the
council
and
mayor
worry
about
anything
else,
they're
going
to
just
leave,
but
they
didn't.
They
started
working
on
early
ordinances.
C
C
C
And
you
know
you
had
to
keep
your
yards
clean.
They
didn't
want
you
to
discharge
firearms
within
city
limits,
so
they
they.
They
did
a
few
more
things
than
just
file
our
our
plat.
But
shortly
after
that,
there
were
still
citizens
opposed
to
municipal
government.
C
This
repeal
the
charter
movements
began
and
the
statesmen
said
quote
this:
levying
of
city
taxes
and
city
licenses
is
directly
contrary
to
the
will
of
the
people
and
in
1870
they
there
were
60
male
citizens
who
signed
the
charter,
a
petition
to
abandon
the
charter.
They
requested
the
state
legislature
to
disincorporate
boise.
C
They
felt
that
boise
did
not
require
a
city
government
and
that
the
municipal
body
was
not
worth
the
expense
and
the
signers
of
the
petition
included
prominent
citizens
such
as
james,
a
penny
and
peter
sauna,
who,
ironically,
would
later
serve
as
boise
mayors.
They
tried
it.
It
didn't
work
in
1870,
so
they
tried
again
in
1873
and
the
motion
failed
just
because
of
a
veto
by
idaho,
governor
t.w
bennett.
C
This
is
governor
bennett
here
and
he
he
vetoed
it
for
two
main
reasons:
one.
He
concluded
that
the
bill
was
in
conflict
with
the
constitution
of
the
united
states
of
america,
and
he
felt
that
it
would
not
serve
the
citizens
of
boise
or
the
territory
of
idaho
as
a
whole
to
dissolve
the
city
government
of
idaho's
territorial
capital.
C
He
argued
that
complaints
of
inefficiency
and
mismanagement
did
not
justify
repealing
the
city
charter
and
he
said
quote.
It
may
be
said
that
the
city
authorities
have
been
inefficient
and
imprudent,
but
it
does
not
follow
that.
We
need
no
city
government.
I
have
yet
to
learn
that
the
true
methods
of
reform
consist
in
a
surrender
to
abuses,
complained
of
and
a
public
acknowledgement.
C
The
same
reasoning
could,
with
equal
propriety,
be
used
in
favor
of
dissolving
all
corporate
governments,
county,
territorial
and
national
for
and
all
of
them.
Doubtless
abuses
exist.
I
prefer
rather,
that
system
of
reform
which
would
rely
upon
the
people
to
correct
abuses
by
the
manful
exercise
of
the
power
wisely
placed
in
their
hands.
C
He
said
that
in
january
of
1873
and
of
course
he
uses
manful,
because
at
that
time
women
did
not
have
the
right
to
vote,
so
it
was
only
men
that
were
voting,
so
I
just
want
to
say
like
why
is
this
charter
still
worth
talking
about,
and
why
am
I
presenting
it
to
you
today?
Well,
it's
it.
It
really
shaped
boise
between
1940
and
1960.
C
C
This
was
because
of
the
limits
of
the
charter,
more
less
than
half
of
boise's
population
at
this
time
lived
within
city
limits.
So
what
you
had
was
a
majority
of
citizens
living
outside
of
the
limits
and
they
were
not
paying
taxes
to
help
support
the
city
services
that
they
were
using.
C
The
funding
problems
that
arose
became
ever
more
evident
after
1960
and
elected
officials
and
citizens
were
tired
of
having
to
go
through
idaho's
legislature
to
get
city
charter
amendments.
So
boise
civic
leaders
arranged
for
boise
to
become
a
traditional,
idaho
city
with
regular
statutory
powers
in
a
special
election
that
they
held
in
august
of
1961..
C
The
boise
voters
did
abandon
their
1860,
their
1866
city
charter
forever
and
after
a
few
initial
expansion
efforts,
a
1962
ordinance
provided
a
systematic
procedure
for
city
planning
and
expansion.
C
And
this
designation
helped
city
promoters
bring
in
federal
funding
and
what
that
did
was
it
provided
the
catalyst
for
urban
renewal
in
the
1960s
and
1970s,
and
so
the
city
charter
really
shaped
it.
C
Both
stalled,
boise's
growth
and
then
the
abandonment
really
shaped
our
growth
and
created
in
part,
the
city
that
you
all
govern
right
now
and
I
think
that
it's
important
to
at
least
understand
how
we
got
to
where
we
are
today
and
that
you
know
I
can't
say
this
for
sure
yet,
but
we're
still
looking
for
other
western
cities
at
this
time
period
that
had
similar
roots
as
boise.
Did
this
whole?
We
don't
we
want
to
be
the
capital,
but
we
don't
want
city
government.
C
We
can
handle
things
on
our
own,
so
I
think
that
we
live
in
a
really
unique
and
interesting
place
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have
about
this
particular
topic
or
other
boise
history
ones.
Thank
you.
D
E
Mayor
yeah
go
ahead.
Thank
you,
madame
brandi.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
doing
this
really
amazing
presentation.
You
know
I
I
asked
mayor
maclean.
If
we
could
have
you
come
back
and
do
this
presentation.
E
I
know
you
did
a
version
of
this
back
in
2018
when
council
member
woodings
and
I
first
joined,
and
I
found
it
to
be
very
powerful,
as
we
started
our
our
time
and
service
here
to
the
city
to
have
that
context,
and
I
particularly
appreciate
the
fact
that
you've
added
the
very
beginnings
of
our
of
our
region,
which
included
the
original
inhabitants
of
the
boise
valley,
and
I
also
appreciate
the
context
you
have
provided
us
about.
E
You
know
what
our
city
needed
to
do
all
those
many
years
ago
in
regards
to
controlling
communicable
diseases.
I
think
for
us
this
past
year
and
what
we've
been
through
in
managing
this
pandemic.
E
You
know
for
us,
it's
been
somewhat
traumatic
and
such
a
shift
in
losing
our
ability
to
go
about
businesses
as
normal
and
just
to
have
you
have
that
context
to
provide
that
context
for
us
that
this
is
an
issue
that
people
have
had
to
contend
with
before
and
they've
and
that
the
city
leaders
have
needed
the
power
to
to
address
it
in
a
way
that
keeps
our
our
citizens
safe.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
you
so
much
for
this
really
powerful
presentation.
C
You're
welcome
thank
you,
councilmember
sanchez
and
I'm
always
happy
to
do
additional
research
on
other
presentations
like
the
all
last
year,
co-opted
by
the
pandemic,
but
about
women's
suffrage
and
the
contributions
of
boise
women
to
our
city
and
there
there
is
a
rich
history
to
learn
more
about
those
other
communicable
diseases
that
boiseans
had
to
contend
with
in
the
when
our
water
supply
was
really
poor
and
other
issues
like
that.
F
F
My
only
question:
do
you
know
if
there's
any
charter
cities
in
idaho
still
or.
C
I
think
we
were
one
of
three
I'd
have
to
double
check,
but
there
could
be
one
or
two
left
that
have
not
abandoned.
A
Great
well,
thank
you
for
coming
and
lisa
council
president
pro
tem
thanks
for
asking
that
brandi
come
and
share
this
history
with
us.
It
was
great.
It's
been
a
while
that,
since
we've
gotten
a
history
presentation,
we
did
quite
a
bit
during
the
sesquicentennial
and
but
that
was
a
ways
back.
So
thanks
for
joining
us,
yeah.
A
A
Next
up,
we've
got
kathy
griezmeier
who's
here
in
the
building,
she's
stepping
up
the
podium
to
discuss
federal
funding
opportunities,
and
this
should
be
a
great
discussion
because,
as
all
of
you
know,
you
were
involved
with
you
know-
we
had
cares
funding
to
begin
with.
That
came
through
the
state
that,
in
fact,
we've
got
quite
a
few
staff
here
that
were
involved
in
distributing
that
the
first
time
around
and
now
with
the
new
programs.
A
There's
funding
coming
direct
to
cities
really
in
response
to
many
cities,
including
hours
working
with
the
administration
asking
that
these
funds
be
made
direct
to
cities.
So
we
have
more
flexibility
to
meet
our
residents
needs
and
with
that,
of
course,
come
future
decisions
that
we'll
need
to
make
and
an
allocation
of
resources
making
sure
we
get
those
dollars
out
to
the
public
as
quickly
as
possible
for
the
biggest
impact
and
kathy's
here
today
to
walk
us
through
some
initial
thoughts.
A
All
of
this
is
preliminary.
The
guidance
just
came
out
this
week
and
we
have
quite
a
few
years
to
make
these
investments,
but
with
that
kathy
I'll
hand
it
over
to
you
thanks
for
joining
us.
G
Great
thank
you,
madam
mayor
and
council
members.
Oh
good
looks
like
my
powerpoint's,
been
pulled
up.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
this
afternoon.
G
G
The
city
will
receive
2.9
million
in
home
allocation
for
housing
assistance,
another
8.8
million
in
emergency
rental
assistance
program,
funding
which
the
city
applied
for
last
week,
and
then
the
airport
did
receive
another
6
million
as
a
part
of
the
airport
improvement
program.
So
there
are
a
number
in
addition
to
the
local
government
funding
piece
that
we're
set
to
receive.
There
are
also
a
number
of
other
federal
programs
that
the
city
can
participate
in
and
will
receive
its
own
funding
as
well.
G
And
then
what
was
much
anticipated
was
the
u.s
department
of
treasury
guidance
also
came
out
yesterday
and
they
released
an
interim
final
rule
which
is
then
going
to
be
used.
The
treasury
created
an
faq
document
that
we
look
at
really
closely
to
help
kind
of
review.
G
What
the
parameters
are
for
this
funding
important
to
note
that
we
will
receive
our
money
in
two
tranches
this
this
go
around,
so
we
will
receive
our
half
of
the
36.9
million
this
year
and
then
we'll
be
eligible
to
apply
for
our
second
allocation
next
year
as
well,
and
we'll
be
able
to
use
the
funds
through
december
31
2026
with
the
need
to
obligate
those
funds.
So
we
need
to
have
a
game
plan
for
how
we
anticipate
to
use
that
money
by
december
31st
2024.
G
So
this
is
a
much
longer
time
frame
than
we
had
under
cares
act
where
we
needed
to
have
money
spent
essentially
by
the
end
of
calendar
year,
2020
and
so
moving
forward,
and
also
I'll
ask
you
folks.
Do
you
have
questions,
I'm
happy
to
pause
and
answer
questions
as
we
go
along
since
there
are
a
lot
of
layers
with
the
rescue
plan
also.
A
On
that,
especially
if
anybody
lisa
holly
patrick,
if
you
all
want
something
just
jump
in
you,
don't
have
to
go
through
me
because
it
might
just
if
you
want
to
catch
kathy
while
she's
going
through
something
just
jump
in
and
ask
her
the
question
great.
G
G
Two
also
unique
about
this
film
was
something
that
local
government
spent
a
lot
of
time.
Lobbying
the
new
administration
and
post,
including
cities
and
counties
as
this
relief
package
was
taking
shape
once
the
biden
administration
came
into
office
was
to
allow
for
this
money
to
be
used
to
offset
revenue
reductions.
That
was
not
something
that
the
city
was
allowed
to
use
its
care
act
funding
last
year
for
and
was
a
really
key
component.
G
G
I
will
say:
we've
also
been
closely
tracking
how
the
state
is
anticipating
to
spend
its
money.
So
governor
little
announced
once
the
allocations
were
announced
for
the
state,
so
the
state
is
receiving
its
own
money.
Cdbg
entitlement
cities
will
have
their
own
application
and
then
and
then
the
state.
A
G
Oh
the
county.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mayor
mayor
with
the
with
the
lifeline
assistance.
There.
Counties
will
also
be
able
to
get
some
funding
as
well,
and
so
governor
little
has
announced
that
he's
really
looking
at
from
a
state
level
investment
to
take
his
time
and
making
help
in
deciding
how
the
state's
going
to
end
up
spending
their
money
and
wants
to
use
what
he's
considering
one-time
investments
for
one-time
expenses.
G
Just,
I
think
important
to
note
how
the
the
state
is
looking
at
how
it
will
spend
its
money,
which
is
also
sort
of
kind
of
leading
the
conversation
at
the
legislative
level
for
how
the
legislature
wants
to
engage
and
allocating
the
state's
funding.
The
state
has
no
authority
in
spending
the
city's
money,
but
I
do
think
it's
just
important
to
know
what
the
state
is
looking
at,
since
it
will
also
be
allocating
some
funds
for
local
governments
and
then
I'm
just
looking
at
my
notes.
G
The
biggest
thing
as
it
relates
to
bucket
number
one
for
responding
to
public
health
emergencies,
so
that
will
is
very
closely
aligned
with
how
we
were
able
to
spend
our
cares
act
funding
last
year.
So
things
like
ppe,
public
safety
and
health
protections
being
able
to
offset
costs
for
things
like
teleworking
ways
that
we
needed
to
respond
as
a
city
both
from
an
employer
standpoint,
but
also
providing
services
to
residents.
G
You
know
how
are
we
able
to
help
mitigate
those
ongoing
expenses
that
are
unexpected
due
to
the
covet
pandemic,
so
in
terms
of
next
steps
for
how
this
funding
will
be
allocated
to
offer
a
little
bit
of
a
timeline,
and
this
has
actually
already
started
this
first
bullet
but
we're
looking.
There
is
a
funding
work
group
here
at
the
city,
that's
comprised
of
staff
in
the
mayor's
office,
dfa
and
legal
that
meet
together
weekly
to
discuss
best
uses
and
recommendations.
G
We've
been
closely
waiting
and
watching
to
see
when
treasury
guidance
would
will
be
released,
and
so,
while
we
were
waiting
for
this
document
to
come,
which
came
yesterday,
we've
been
meeting
with
different
departments
beginning
to
understand
what
ongoing
needs.
The
city
had
both
from
a
revenue
loss
perspective
and
what
those
numbers
might
look
like,
but
also
departmental
needs,
as
well
as
looking
externally
at
what
ongoing
community
needs,
might
still
need
some
additional
assistance
to
respond
to
cobit
19.
G
and
now
that
we
have
received
the
treasury
guidance.
Legal
and
dfa
will
be
combing
pretty
in
depth
into
that
guidance.
To
help
understand
what
are
the
legal
parameters
in
which
we'll
be
able
to
use
this
money
and
how
we
can
best
spend
to
then
match
up
those
recommendations
that
the
funding
work
group
has
been
bringing
together
right.
Now,
we're
really
looking
what
we're
understanding
from
treasury
guidance
that
there
is
a
lot
of
flexibility
and
how
we
might
be
able
to
provide
for
ongoing
services.
G
I
had
a
phone
call
with
the
treasury
department
earlier
this
year,
for
example
on
the
emergency
rental
assistance
program,
and
they
were
very
much.
You
know
your
local
community.
You
know
what
needs
you
have
do.
What
you
need
to
provide
for
those
community
groups
that
are
in
need
document
and
put
a
policy
in
place,
but
do
take
care
of
those
folks
who
you're
charged
with
with
protecting
and
providing
services
for,
and
that
seems
to
be
relatively
consistent
with
the
very
quick
review.
G
So
there
are
a
handful
of
moving
pieces
still
at
play
here,
but
certainly
something
that
we'll
be
very
closely
monitoring
as
we
move
forward,
I'm
going
to
jump
into
a
different
bucket
of
federal
funding,
so
I'll
pause
here
in
case
folks
have
questions
about
american
rescue
plan
funding
timeline
and
next.
A
Steps,
let's
go
with
councilmember
woodings
and
then.
H
Hallie
burton
excellent,
thank
you.
Kathy
is
city
staff,
also
coordinating
with
their
counterparts
on
the
state
level.
As
far
as
like
broadband
infrastructure
and
some
of
that.
G
Madam
marin
and
council
member
weddings-
yes,
I
think
now
that
we
have
treasury
guidance
and
there's
an
opportunity
to
really
fully
understand
what's
eligible
at
play
here.
I
think
that
we
can
definitely
continue
to
have
conversations
with
the
governor's
office
or
with
with
legislators,
who
might
be
a
part
of
the
study
committee
that
the
legislature
has
formed
that
will
be
making
recommendations
to
the
governor
around
how
the
state
uses
its
funding
prior
to
treasury
guidance
being
released.
The
legislation
really
was
like
a
one
line.
G
We
can
offer,
and
we've
had
some
initial
conversations
with
with
it
and
public
works
also
in
terms
of
what
kind
of
initial
ideas
they
might
have
about
how
we
can
make
those
investments.
A
I
just
want
to
throw
in
something
here
too,
before
councilmember
hallie
burton
our
I.t
staff,
the
it
department
and
public
works
has
worked,
has
been
working
on
a
conceptual
plan
related
to
broadband
for
the
last
year,
because
we
knew
at
some
point.
A
There
would
be
this
opportunity
and
they
were
very
helpful
in
us
lobbying
the
administration
to
include
broadband
and
a
list
of
things
that
we
could
likely
spend
money
on,
and
I've
also
had
initial
conversations
with
the
county
in
terms
of
their
bucket
of
funding,
which
is
95
million
dollars
and
their
interest
in
working
with
us
and
potentially
the
other
cities
that
have
funding
to
make
sure
that
these
investments
are
leveraged
most
effectively,
especially
from
a
broadband
infrastructure
perspective.
For
this
valley.
I
Thank
you
kathy.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
realized
that
you're
learning
some
of
this
stuff
in
real
time.
So
thanks
for
keeping
us
up
to
date,
I
saw
some
of
the
stuff
come
out
just
today.
So
on
one
of
the
slides.
That
said,
I
think
we
were
obliged.
We
need
to
have
the
money
obligated
by
2024,
I
believe
and
then
spent
by
2026
and
then
the
date
that
we're
we've
kind
of
identified.
I
As
far
as
mid-june
for
recommendations,
I
guess
I'm
wondering
if
what
the
what
the
date
for
for
june
june
is,
if
it's
not
that
obligated
by
do,
we
think
that
we
will
know
a
lot
of
how
we
want
to
spend
the
funds
by
that
date.
Is
there
a
reason
that
we
need
to
identify
it
within
the
next
month
versus
waiting
longer
to
evaluate
it
more?
Does
that
make
sense?
It.
G
And
so
I
do
think
that
there's
partially,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
being
responsive
to
community
needs,
knowing
that
there
are
ongoing
consequences
to
the
pandemic
and
that
folks
are
still
struggling,
and
I
think
we
want
as
a
as
a
council
and
with
the
mayor's
office,
to
be
able
to
present
some
recommendations.
G
I
also
think,
as
we're
continuing
to
review
the
treasury
guidance
and
kind
of
recognizing
what
the
state's
doing
what
the
county
is
doing.
I
know
there
are
a
handful
of
webinars
that
the
national
league
of
cities
and
u.s
conference
of
mayors
are
hosting.
So
I
think
it's
an
ambitious
goal
because
I
think
we'd
like
to
at
least
offer
a
recommendation
of
industries
that
have
been
targeted
so,
for
example,
performing
arts
and
venues
have
really
been
left
out
of
federal
relief
packages.
G
Previously
restaurants,
you
know
minority-owned
businesses,
immigrant
community,
you
know
there
are
definitely
segments
of
our
community
that
were
not
really
prioritized
in
the
last
round
of
coveted
funding,
we'd
like
to
make
some
recommendations
to
prioritize
them
moving
forward,
but
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we
give
ourselves
a
little
bit
of
time
to
review
guidance,
but
then
make
a
recommendation
and
certainly
welcome
the
feedback
and
recommendations
in
terms
of
next
steps.
Next
steps.
I
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
Just
quick,
follow
up.
I'm
glad
that
you
kind
of
brought
up
all
the
things
that
you
did
there
towards
the
end.
I
think
that's
where
a
few
of
my
questions,
we're
going
to
be
guiding
is
trying
to
figure
out
you.
I
I
You
know
that
we
could
have
done
things
better
until
you
know
several
months
after
we
implemented
some
of
those
things
in
the
future,
and
so
I
guess
I'm
hoping,
I
think
that
there's
probably
some
funds
that
are
really
easy
to
identify,
how
we
could
use
them
immediately,
and
I
also
am
hoping
that
there's
some
data
that
we
can
use
to
really
make
sure
that
we
understand
who
we've
helped
already.
You
know
who
are
who
we're
missing,
what
opportunities
that
are
out
there
and
that
we
take
the
time
to
do
that
as
well.
So
thank
you.
G
Madame
and
councilmember,
if
I
can
respond,
I
think
that's
a
really
excellent
point
and
something
that
we've
seen
a
lot
in
the
legislation
that
was
enacted,
there's,
definitely
sort
of
a
built-in
focus,
around
equity
and
equitable
response
to
pandemic
recovery,
and
so
beyond.
You
know
things
that
have
been
maybe
more
traditionally
thought
of
workers,
particularly
small
businesses.
G
This
legislation
also
really
wants
to
focus
on
hardest
hit,
families
and
communities,
and
so
addressing
health
disparities
and
social
detriments
of
health,
investing
in
housing
and
neighborhoods,
addressing
educational
disparities,
promoting
healthy
childhood
environment.
So
there's
definitely
a
lot
more
focus
and
I
think
expanded
eligibility
usage
for
this
money
to
really
make
those
sort
of
like
familial
and
social
investments
that
we
need
to
really
help
all
community
members
and
all
community
groups
to
respond.
A
We
look
to
build
out
programs
so
that
we
can
get
feedback
from
council
members
to
see
if
there's
anything,
we're
missing
or
on
top
of
people's
minds
and
then
recognizing,
of
course,
that
for
the
money
that
we
get
direct
to
the
community,
we
do
want
to
move
that
as
quickly
as
possible
when
they
need
it
most.
But
then
there
will
be
other
longer-term
investments
where
we
might
say.
Okay,
we're
gonna
allocate
this
much
money
to
broadband
this
month,
money
to
water
renewal,
and
we
know
that
that
will
take
longer.
E
Madam
mayor,
yes,
thank
you
madame.
Thank
you
kathy.
This
is
great
great
news
to
hear
about
all
of
this
opportunity
that
we're
going
to
have
moving
forward.
I'm
wondering
since
the
governor
has
announced
that
I
guess
we're
going
to
cut
off.
I
think
three
of
the
unemployment
packages
that
were
funded
by
the
federal
government,
I
think,
starting
in
june,
which
means
they're
going
to
be
cut
off
about
three
months
shy
of
when
they
were
originally
supposed
to
end.
E
I'm
wondering
if
we're
going
to
have
anything
in
place,
possibly
to
help
fill
in
that
gap
for
folks,
because,
as
you
mentioned,
we're
still
dealing
with
the
pandemic,
people
are
still
not
back
where
they
need
to
be
so.
I
wanted
to
mention.
That
is
something
that
we
might
need
to
look
into
and
see
if
the
usage
of
these
funds
could
help
our
people
in
any
way.
E
E
E
I
met
with
a
gentleman
by
the
name
of
dmitry
booker
last
night,
who
was
on
his
way
to
sun
valley
to
meet
with
a
gentleman
who
decided
to
sell
his
property
to
dimitri
because
he
knew
he
was
going
to
turn
this
property
into
affordable
housing
units
and
he
did
it
with
that
in
mind.
Other
people
wanted
to
buy
that
property.
E
He
specifically
chose
dimitri
to
do
it
because
he
knew
he
was
going
to
turn
us
into
affordable
housing
and-
and
so
when
talking
to
dimitri's,
like
I'd
like
to
see
more
more
people
of
color
in
this
industry
in
creating
affordable
housing
and
just
being
a
part
of
the
game.
G
E
G
Madam
marin
council
president
pro
tem
sanchez,
thank
you
for
the
question.
The
coveted
funding
group
work
group
meets
on
wednesdays
and
since
the
governor's
announcement
just
came
out
today,
that's
something
I
can
definitely
tap
as
a
discussion
point
for
tomorrow.
G
What
is
interesting
about
the
treasury
guidance
I
was
reviewing
today
is:
it
does
allow
for
direct
payments
to
individuals,
which
was
not
something
that
was
allowed
in
previous
allocations,
so
that
again
just
highlighting
the
increased
flexibility
in
this
new
relief
packages
and
also
an
opportunity
for
the
city
to
get
creative
in
terms
of
the
types
of
programs
we're
responding.
And
then
I
would
definitely
love
to
follow
up
with
you
just
in
terms
of
how
we
can
make
sure
that
folks
from
underrepresented,
underrepresented
communities
can
be
involved
in
this
conversation.
G
Certainly
again,
knowing
that
there
are
many
segments
of
our
community
that
weren't
prioritized
in
the
last
copen
relief
package,
and
yet
how
can
we
continue
to
provide
assistance
in
that
space?
The
workgroup
has
sort
of
tossed
around
a
number
of
ideas,
around
cobin
resource
navigators
that
can
reach
out
to
underrepresented
communities
or
help
provide
cultural
or
language
assistance
and
in
receiving
some
of
the
federal
benefits
that
are
still
available
in
addition
to
what
the
city
might
be
doing.
So
there
are
a
handful
of
ideas,
but
I'd
love
to
connect
more.
G
G
This
year
is
the
first
time
in
10
years
that
the
house
has
opened
up
a
federal,
ear,
marking
process
where
we
were
allowed
to
participate
in
submitting
some
community
earmarking
projects
to
congressman
simpson's
office,
which
I'm
happy
to
think
it's
safe
to
announce
that
we
received
700
000
in
funding
to
support
the
paving
of
a
new
taxi
lane
at
the
airport.
We
had
submitted
a
plan
also
for
recycled
water
that
wasn't
accepted
but
was
submitted,
and
then
we
worked
in
partnership
with
valley
regional
transit
to
submit
this
is
kind
of
jumping
into
number
two.
G
The
transportation
committee
earmarks,
but
we
submitted
a
letter
of
support
for
some
state
street
funding,
which
was
accepted
also
at
202
million
dollars.
Excuse
me,
and
so
this
is
the
first
time
in
a
long
while
this
process
has
been
open.
But
we
were
happy
to
you
know,
be
a
part
of
the
process,
have
conversations
with
congressman
simpson's
office
and
be
able
to
submit
a
handful
of
earmark
requests,
which
I'm
happy
to
report
that
several
were
funded
and
then
moving
forward.
G
The
senate
is
also
opening
an
appropriations
process,
but
I
just
confirmed
last
week
that
our
idaho
senators
are
not
participating,
but
moving
forward.
We'll
definitely
be
communicating
with
them
about
what
we
did
submit
for
earmark
request
over
in
the
house,
so
that
if
and
when
an
appropriations
bill
does
come
before
them
in
the
senate,
they
have
an
understanding
of
what
boise's
needs
are
and
can
continue
to
advocate
for
the
city
on
our
behalf
and
then
a
really
big
conversation.
That's
continuing
to
happen.
G
Right
now
is
also
the
american
jobs
plan,
which
president
biden
has
been
doing
a
little
bit
of
a
tour
announcing
his
infrastructure
investments
that
he
is
anticipating
to
introduce
nothing.
Super
formal
has
been
moved
forward,
but,
just
generally
speaking,
the
white
house
sent
out
a
one-page
fact
sheet
in
terms
of
investments.
G
That
would
be
specific
to
idaho,
which
I
pulled
up
some
of
our
key
strategic
priorities
for
the
city
in
terms
of
transit,
clean
drinking
water,
housing,
broadband
investments
again
in
just
general
infrastructure
upgrades
and
so
pretty
large
chunks
of
money
that
might
be
potentially
available
here
that
we,
you
know,
could
be
able
to
align
with
some
of
the
city's
strategic
priorities.
But
we
should
know
more
sometime
in
early
summer
as
this
bill
continues
to
take
shape
right
now.
G
So
we
hope
to
continue
making
those
meetings
a
priority.
Continuing
continuing
and
moving
forward
and
they've
been
very
open
to
the
conversations,
and
we
thank
them
for
their
time
to
be
able
to
meet
with
them
and
help
provide
additional
contacts
for
our
needs
here
locally.
G
K
Had
a
mirror,
thank
you
kathy,
sorry,
for
being
late.
My
granddaughter
was
in
a
concert,
so
I
was
able
to
catch
just
a
portion
of
that
on
the
additional
opportunities.
K
First
of
all
I'll,
you
know,
I
I
like
what
I
was
hearing
about
the
arp
funds
and
you
know,
as
you
said,
we've
got
a
while
to
spend
them,
but
we
should
identify
those
priorities
soon,
so
looking
forward
to
that
process
on
the
additional
funds,
I
know
that,
right
now
we
don't
have
inner
city
passenger
rail
here,
but,
as
you
know,
I
have
been
working
hard
with
a
group
in
the
greater
northwest
to
re-establish
that,
so
just
want
to
make
sure
we
get
that
on
our
our
list,
even
though
it's
not
on
the
white
house's
list
and
for
fellow
council
members
know
that
that
effort
actually
does
look
pretty
positive
at
this
point
more
so
than
than
I've
seen
in
a
bit.
A
Yeah
all
right
well
kathy.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
joining
us
and
I'll
echo.
The
council
presidents.
Thanks
for
your
work,
you
know
it's
been.
A
This
is
a
an
unprecedented
time
with
all
of
first
off
what
we've
experienced
in
the
last
year
with
our
concerns
about
where
the
economy
might
head
what
we've
actually
seen
here
in
boise
and
then
now
the
investments
that
are
being
made
in
infrastructure
around
this
country
that
we
haven't
seen
in
so
long
and
so
as
kathy
has
navigated
all
of
this
working
with
the
council
president
when
it
comes
transportation,
others
on
other
topics
have
really
appreciated
all
the
headway
you've
made,
and
I
am
optimistic
that
we
will
be.
A
We
will
have
an
opportunity
to
work
with
the
public
on
some
of
these
big
bigger
items
like
the
council
president
suggested
rail,
which
will
be
part
of
the
conversation
that
I
have
tomorrow,
but
want
to
thank
you
for
everything.
You've
done
and
a
lot
of
department
head
directors
are
in
here
right
now,
because
they've
been
involved
in
many
ways,
helping
us
present
to
the
administration
suggestions
for
what
these
bills
should
look
like
in
cover
and
so
appreciate.
Your
help.
A
Okay,
next
up
our
final
item,
we
are
perfectly
on
time.
This
is
amazing.
Actually
is
an
interim
budget
change
eric's
going
to
come
up
and
present
the
financial
pieces
for
those
of
you
online
just
so
you
know,
we've
got
quite
a
few
staff
directors
in
here
as
well.
So
linda,
I'm
director
of
finances
here,
celine
are
you
here
for
pds,
oh
kelsey,
kelsey,
that's
right!
So
kelsey
is
here.
A
Celine
is
here
as
well,
but
so
for
pds
maria
is
here
from
community
engagement,
to
answer
any
questions
if
they're
needed-
and
I
just
want
to
tee
this
up
with
appreciate
the
the
work
that
staff
has
put
into
addressing
what
we
much
of
what
was
just
came
up
in
kathy's
presentation,
the
unprecedented
opportunity
to
make
investments
in
the
city
through
arp
funding
and
the
other
funding
that
we'll
be
applying
for,
but
then,
of
course,
how
in
many
ways
lucky.
A
We
have
been
that
as
a
council
and
as
a
city,
we
made
quick
decisions
to
protect
public
health.
We
made
budget
decisions
last
year
that
were
conservative
decisions
to
prepare
for
what
we
expected
to
see
a
slowdown
and
in
protecting
public
health.
A
Reopening
businesses
doing
what
we
did
together,
we've
now
seen
a
boom
that
most
people
wouldn't
have
foreseen
and
with
that
so
much
more
pressures
on
our
staff
and
team
to
be
able
to
deliver
for
the
community
when
they're
asking
for
so
much
right
now,
and
so
eric
will
go
through
some
of
that.
We
can
answer
more
questions
if
needed,
but
appreciate
the
guidance
that
came
from
the
executive
management
team
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
the
city
could
provide
what
the
city
is
asking
for.
Now,
I'm
given
where
we're
at.
L
L
L
So
the
first
two
items
are
airport
items
both
of
those
are
cost
neutral
m
is
for
the
replacement
of
some
core
network
switches
that
run
our
hvac
baggage
and
communication
systems.
That
one
is
revenue
neutral
in
that
it
would
be
a
reduction
to
another
project
and
supported
by
federal
funds.
L
The
next
one
is
the
airport
taxiway
s
extension.
That
project
is
it's
really
a
an
acceleration
and
that
front
that
project
will
be
funded
through
a
reduction
to
the
baggage
systems
upgrade
project.
The
third
item
is
also
a
revenue
neutral
item.
It
is
the
addition
of
three
and
a
half
positions
for
the
department
of
finance
and
coming
after
kathy's
presentation.
Just
now,
those
three
and
a
half
positions
would
be
directly
administering
the
american
rescue
plan
receipts.
L
There
is
a
pretty
significant
compliance
requirements
and
sub-recipient
monitoring
and,
as
kathy
mentioned,
those
funds
need
to
be
committed
by
2024
but
spent
by
2026.
So
we
do
anticipate
that
the
time
frame
for
administration
of
this
work
being
quite
extended.
L
The
fourth
item
is
an
increase
to
our
time
and
attendance
system.
That
project
has
been
going
through
some
additional
due
diligence
work
and
it
is
anticipated
that
an
additional
325
000
is
required.
There
are
some
significant
efficiencies
which
will
be
realized
through
the
completion
of
that
project.
L
The
next
item
is
the
addition
of
two
positions
to
our
human
resources
department
and
those
two
positions
are
key.
As
we
look
to
expanding
our
service
offerings
coming
out
of
kovit
and
addressing
some
key
staffing
level
deficiencies,
the
ongoing
impacts
associated
with
those
positions
would
be
built
into
the
fiscal
year,
22
proposed
budget,
which
will
be
presented
to
you
for
your
consideration
next
month.
L
The
next
item
is
another
revenue
neutral
item
per
council
direction.
It's
directing
the
proceeds
from
the
sale
of
the
old
fire
station
number
eight
facility
on
overland
towards
the
grower
housing
project.
L
L
L
This
250
000
increase,
will
address
uncompleted
implementation
issues
and
resolve
some
some
unfinished
punch
list
items.
L
The
second
to
last
item
is
in
public
works.
It
is
additional
funding
for
sewer
trunk
extensions,
the
fiscal
year
21
amount
has
been
exhausted
and
any
investments
within
this
project
are
in
compliance
with
the
city's
sewer
extension
policy
and
the
last
two
items
are
largely
revenue
neutral
as
well.
One
is
the
shift
of
a
position
from
our
planning
and
development
services
department,
our
energizer
neighborhoods
coordinator
into
the
community
engagement
department,
and
the
second
is
a
shift
of
a
position
from
our
parks
and
recreation
department.
H
Madam
mayor
sure
go
ahead.
Thank
you.
I
have
some
questions
about
the
pds
item.
Whoever
wants
to
answer
that
one,
I
don't
know
if
it's
kelsey
or
someone
else
sure.
D
D
H
You,
I
am
hope
sorry
I
heard
about
I
hadn't
heard
about
the
process,
so
I
appreciate
you
filling
filling
us
in
on
that
and
on
that
item
then
my
reading
of
it
was
it's
anticipated
that
development
application
fees
would
increase
enough
to
cover
those
positions.
Ongoing
is
that
kind
of
the
expectation
it's
like
577
000.
D
I
D
I
Pbs
related
question,
so
I
thought
no,
it
might
be
a
good
time
so
similar
similar
question.
It
looks
like
it's
revenue
neutral,
you
know,
since
the
the
fees
you
know
end
up
paying
for
the
positions-
and
I
guess
you
know
my
curiosity
is-
is
that?
Are
we
going
to
still
be
able
to
keep
up
with
the
amount
of
stuff
that's
coming
in
or
is
there
would
we
generate
additional
revenue?
You
know,
would
we
get
more
applications
through
if
there
was
additional
staffing
with
it
as
well,
and
I'm
just
kind
of
curious
like?
I
D
I
Yeah,
thank
you
for
the
the
answer
there.
I'm
definitely
curious
just
with
the
growth
that
we're
experiencing,
that
we
expect
to
continue
to
see.
You
know
it's
definitely
something
that
I
had
anticipated
was
the
need
for
for
more
staffing
there
and
and
had
actually
thought
that
it
might
be
a
little
bit
more.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
and
I'll
jump
in
here
too.
I
just
want
to
say
on
behalf
of
staff,
councilman
halliburton,
I'm
sure
that
they
appreciate
your
question
because
they
are
celine's
here,
and
you
know
there
are
many
of
them
that
have
been
doing
what
they've
been
that
they
have
to
do,
which
is
respond
to
what
they're
having,
and
I
really
appreciate
members
of
the
development
community.
A
Also
that
have
helped
us
think
through
where
the
pressure
points
are
what's
needed,
and
that's
why
you
see
also
in
here
the
software
that
needs
to
be
updated,
but
but
staff
are
feeling
very
overwhelmed.
We're
five-year
highs
for
all
the
application,
we're
getting
and
we're
184
of
normal
and
so
to
their
best.
Yes,
they
propose
this
they're
grateful
that
we're
considering
it
now
to
meet
the
current
need
and
then
yeah,
just
like
in
so
many
departments
with
a
growing
city.
You
know
we'll
have
to
have
that
conversation
of
what's
next.
K
Sure
thanks,
I
just
want
to
comment
it's
unusual
to
make
this
many
staffing
changes
at
this
time
of
year,
but
I
appreciate
the
administration
bringing
these
forward
now.
I
think
we've
heard
why
pds
is
so
important
at
the
moment.
K
I
think
the
same
can
be
said
for
hr
positions
there
and
the
positions
to
manage
these
grant
funds,
I
think,
are
something
that
sets
us
up.
I
I
hope
in
the
future
to
better
take
advantage
of
federal
opportunities.
So
I'm
really
looking
forward
at
the
budget
workshop
to
really
discuss
long-term
needs
and
staffing
and
how
we
project
those
out
how
we
look
at
making
them
sustainable.
For
instance,
you
know
these
grant
funded
ones
are
sustainable.
K
Now,
with
these
grants,
as
we
look
forward,
if
we
can
get
more
grants
using
those
same
positions,
can
we
make
them
sustainable
long-term?
I
think
we
probably
can,
but
just
having
those
kinds
of
discussions
to
set
that
up
the
one
other
one
I'll
note
and
I've
had
a
discussion
with
ce
about
this.
I
fully
support
moving
the
energized
folks
over
to
ce,
but
also
look
forward
to
a
discussion
about
how
to
best
use
our
neighborhood
assets
and
where
to
best
use
them.
K
But
I
think
this
is
a
good
first
step
to
get
us
started
down
that
road.
So
appreciate,
seeing
that
as
well.
E
Go
ahead.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
yeah.
I'm
I'm
100,
supportive
of
us
getting
the
folks.
We
need
in
place
to
do
all
of
this
work,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
our
staff
who
who
have
been
working
as
hard
as
they
have
under
these
conditions,
and
it's
it's
very
impressive,
and
I'm
very
grateful
to
them
the
hirings
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
in
hr.
E
E
I
really
stress
the
importance
of
having
folks
come
on
board
with
a
strong
commitment
to
dei
and
knowledge
of
that,
and
I
just
strongly
encourage
that.
We
look
for
folks
like
that
who
come
to
the
city
with
that
knowledge
and
with
that
expertise
as
much
as
we
can
again,
because
it
is
so
important
to
the
way
we
create
our
organization
moving
forward.
So
thank
you.
J
A
J
Sorry
go
ahead.
Thank
you.
I
think
the
same
thing
as
everybody
else,
particularly
with
respect
to
pds,
and
I'm
glad
we're
doing
this
now
and
not
in
the
budget,
as
would
be
our
ordinary
course,
because
I
don't
think
those
positions
would
be
really
fillable
until
october,
and
I
I
can't
imagine,
asking
our
staff
to
do
all
that
extra
work
until
then.
J
My
only
other
comment
is
very
similar
to
the
council
presidents,
with
particularly
the
dfa
positions,
which
I
kind
of
take
to
be
grant
funded,
they're
going
to
be
allocating
this
grant
money
and
working
on
it,
they're
revenue
neutral
in
that
sense,
but
I
think
if
I
understood
the
council
president
correctly
longer
term,
they
may
not
be
in
the
event
that
the
funding
for
those
positions
dries
up,
and
so
I
wanted
to
flag
it
and
help
us
all
be
alert
to
that
possibility
this
year
and
next
year,
as
we're
continuing
to
create
our
budgets,
we
don't.
J
I
don't
know
that
we
all.
I
don't
think
we
want
to
accidentally,
create
unfunded
positions
and
then
end
up
with
something:
that's
not
net
revenue,
so
our
net
revenue
neutral.
So
I
wanted
to
flag
that
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
conversations
that
the
council
president
suggested
that
we
have
in
the
budget
workshops
and
and
like
the
council
president.
Thank
you
for
bringing
this
forward.
A
K
With
that,
I
would
move
approval
of
the
interim
budget
changes.
Fy
2021
brought
forward
on
may
11,
2021
1-10
and
three
position.
A
We
have
a
motion
and
two
seconds.
Thank
you.
I
think
we've
had
all
the
discussion
folks
needed
to
have
yes,
yeah
all
right
clark.
Will
you.
J
A
Thank
you
eric
thanks,
everybody
for
being
here
for
that
one,
and
with
that
we
don't
have
an
executive
session
yeah.
So
we
are
adjourned
till
six
o'clock
see
you
all
back
here.
