A
mayor
I
move
approval
of
the
city
council,
minutes
of
the
work
session
and
regular
evening
meeting
of
October
18
2022.
Second.
B
E
A
Carries
and
next
up
we've
got
two
items
on
special
business.
First,
we
have
Chief
Niemeyer
here
for
the
recognition
of
FEMA
certification
of
Rachel
Holford
welcome.
F
Madam
mayor
council
good
afternoon-
yes,
it
is
my
honor
to
be
here
with
Rachel
to
recognize
her
for
an
outstanding
achievement
and
I'm
going
to
put
my
cheaters
on
so
I
can
actually
read
this
Rachel
Holford
Boise
fires
and
the
City
of
Boise's
emergency
preparedness
manager,
graduated
from
FEMA's
National,
Emergency,
Management,
Advanced
Academy
at
the
Emi
Institute
in
Emmitsburg
Maryland.
F
F
The
academy
consisted
of
four
courses:
application
of
advanced,
individual
Concepts
and
Emergency
Management
assessment
of
teams
in
professional
Emergency,
Management
contemporary
issues
in
the
emergency
management
organization
and
advanced
concepts
and
policy
in
the
Emergency
Management
professionals
world
after
graduation
Rachel
returned
back
to
Boise
to
help
lead
the
Boise
Airport
full-scale
disaster,
exercise
that
ensured
multiple
Treasure
Valley
agencies
or
prepared
the
event
of
an
aviation
disaster.
This
is
a
lot.
This
is
a
mouthful,
although
we
don't
often
think
about
large-scale
disasters
happen
in
our
community.
Rest
assured
the
city
of
Boise
and
Boise.
F
Fire
is
grateful
to
have
Rachel's
leadership,
training,
expertise
to
lead
our
emergency
preparedness
and
response
and
I.
Now
that
I've
read
that
certainly
I've
worked
with
Rachel
a
long
time
and
I
greatly
appreciate
her
leadership.
She
has
dedicated
absolutely
dedicated
in
the
role
of
emergency
preparedness.
She
has
our
city
prepared
for
things
that
we
might
not
expect
so
with
that.
I
would
also
like
to
read
her
official
certificate.
F
This
is
the
Emi
Institute
certificate
of
completion
to
Rachel
Holford,
the
national
preparedness
directorates,
Emergency
Management
Institute
on
recommendation
of
faculty
and
in
recognition
of
successful
completion
of
the
requisite
courses
of
study
confers
their
certificate
of
completion
of
the
National
Emergency
Management
Advanced
Academy
issued
August
15
2022..
This
is
a
big
deal
for
Rachel
in
the
discipline
that
she
oversees.
So
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
congratulated
her
the
right
way
and
I
would
hope
you
would
join
me
in
congratulating
her
foreign.
G
I'd
just
like
to
say
thank
you
in
the
20
years
that
I've
been
doing
Public
Safety.
This
is
a
big
deal.
We've
talked
about
it
for
many
years
to
have
a
program
here
that
really
focused
on
preparedness
and
resiliency
and
I
am
so
grateful
to
have
continued
this
education
in
this
process
and
also
learned
from
many
others
Across.
The
Nation
I
can
tell
you
right
now
with
all
of
my
cohort.
They
were
very
proud
of
where
Boise
has
come
and
where
we
are
headed.
G
A
Well,
Rachel
I
just
want
to
say
a
quick
congratulations.
There
might
be
some
other
students,
but
not
only
congratulations,
but
thank
you
for
all
that
you
did
lead.
You
have
done
and
will
continue
to
do,
but
you've
been
acknowledged
and
you've
completed
this
program,
which
is
incredible
for
you
and
for
our
team
and
for
our
residents,
but
really
appreciate
all
that
got
you
to
the
point
where
it
made
sense
that
you
complete
this
program.
So
thanks.
H
Thank
you,
Rachel
for
your
service.
It's
really
tremendous
to
have
you
as
a
resource
for
our
residents.
I
hope
that
we
never
have
to
fully
exercise
your
expertise,
obviously,
but
it's
really
comforting
to
know
that
we
have
people
with
your
specific
expertise
and
skills
and
certification,
helping
us
in
these
very
critical
areas
and
I
just
want
to
additionally
say
it's
really
neat
to
see
civilians.
H
A
Thank
you
all
right.
Next,
we
have
Eric
with
the
quarterly
Finance
report,
and
you
all
saw
that
we
tried
to
update
this
report
and
and
its
delivery
in
such
a
way
that
makes
it
more
user
friendly
for
both
council
members,
myself
and
importantly,
the
public.
A
I
I
That's
really
cool.
Thank
you
very
much.
Madam
mayor
members
of
the
council.
We're
excited
to
discuss
with
you
a
proposed
process,
Improvement
related
to
our
quarterly
Financial
reports.
I
I'll
just
provide
a
brief
overview.
Each
quarter.
The
finance
department
prepares
the
court
of
quarterly
financial
report
for
the
city
council
after
the
report
is
prepared,
the
budget
office
will
really
Mike
sharak
who's
here
with
us
today
summarizes
and
presents
the
highlights
of
that
report
to
the
city
council
for
anyone
that
would
be
interested.
I
We
do
post
all
of
our
past
quarterly
Financial
reports
on
the
Department
of
Finance
website
before
I
get
into
you
know
some
of
the
motivations
for
you
know,
proposing
these
process
improvements
and
specifically
specific
recommendations.
Let
me
just
kind
of
touch
on
the
intent
of
the
quarterly
financial
report.
Really,
the
idea
there
is
to
provide
an
overview
of
the
city's
financial
performance
through
that
particular
quarter
and
outline
for
for
the
city
council
and
for
the
public
any
variances
from
from
budgeted
expectations,
as
well
as
their
root
causes.
I
So
we
are
proposing
some
some
amendments
to
the
quarterly
report
and
we've
been
using
the
current
format
for
just
under
10
years
now,
so
I
want
to
kind
of
speak
to
the
drivers
as
to
why
we're
looking
to
make
some
make
some
enhancements
really.
First
and
foremost,
we
are
looking
to
concentrate
the
focus
of
the
quarterly
report
on
items
that
the
the
council
can
use
for
decision
making,
as
well
as
to
improve
the
readability
for
anybody
that
happens
to
pick
up
the
report.
I
What
we'd
really
like
to
do
is
to
focus
the
the
the
the
discussion,
the
comments,
the
questions
around
those
areas
where
there
actually
is
something
meaningful
to
report
we'd,
also
like
to
as
we
look
to
refresh
this
report,
place
an
enhanced
focus
on
operations
as
to
you
know,
really
speaking,
to
the
reasons
why
deviations
from
expected
levels
might
be
occurring
in.
In
the
current
report,
it
could
be
construed
as
difficult
for
the
reader
to
actually
find
that
need
to
know
information,
because
there
is
so
much
information
included.
I
We're
also
looking
at
this
as
an
opportunity
to
to
include
some
new
informational
points
that
we
haven't
reported
on
in
the
quarterly
financial
report
previously
and
I'll
I'll
outline
those
in
a
moment
and
then
finally
strengthen
the
link
between
Local
Economic
performance
and
the
city's
financial
performance.
I
So
we
presently
have
the
quarterly
financial
report
and,
as
an
appendix
we
have
the
economic
brief
we'd
like
to
combine
elements
of
the
economic
brief
into
the
quarterly
report,
cease
doing
two
separate
reports
and
ensure
that
the
economic
information
that
we
include
in
the
quarterly
report
has
a
close
connection
to
the
city's
financial
performance.
I
Obviously
we're
looking
at
this
in
the
spirit
of
continual
process
Improvement,
but
also
looking
to
reduce
report
preparation
time
and
ensure
that
staff
is,
you
know,
focusing
their
time
on
Analytics.
I
I'll
now
kind
of
go
through
each
of
the
proposed
sections
that
we
would
include
in
this
revised
format
and
as
I
go
through,
you
know
feel
free
to
interrupt
really.
What
Our
intention
here
is
to
solicit
any
feedback,
so
we
can
take
that
feedback
as
we
go
throughout
the
presentation
or
also
allow
time
at
the
end,
for
you
know
any
comments,
questions
or
feedback.
I
So
in
the
revised
format,
which
we
did
give
an
example
of
of
that
revised
format,
I
think
in
your
Friday
packet,
we
would
first
include
an
executive
summary,
and
within
that
summary
section
we
would
outline
the
purpose
of
the
report
in
any
key
high
level
takeaways
of
financial
performance.
That
might
be
somebody
might
be
looking
for
without
having
to
read
the
entire
thing.
I
We
would
then
establish
a
a
new
section
called
the
the
Boise
economic
environment
section,
and
in
that
section
we
would
include
high-level
key
economic
indicators
that
are
either
impacting
the
community
or
impacting
our
financial
performance.
We
would
certainly
seek
to
abbreviate
the
number
of
indicators
that
we
that
we
report
on
to
focus
on
those
that
are
probably
most
meaningful
to
our
Revenue
Collections
and
expenditure
environment.
I
I
This
would
also
be
a
high
level
overview,
followed
by
a
discussion
of
revenues
by
category
by
category
I'm,
meaning
property
tax
and
then
sales,
tax
and
development
fees
in
each
of
the
categories
that
we
presently
include
in
our
budget
document,
and
then
there
would
be
a
narrative
following
you
know,
a
table
and
some
high-level
information,
and
in
that
narrative
we
would
highlight
departmental
variances
from
anticipated
collections.
I
We've
proposed
doing
the
same
with
the
expenditures,
a
high
level
overview
of
our
expenditures
by
category,
and
that
would
be
personnel,
mno
and
capital
and
equipment
followed
by
a
discussion
of
expenses
by
each
category
showing
historical
performance
and
current
performance,
and
in
that
narrative
we
would
highlight
departments
that
have
variations
from
anticipated
collections.
I
We
would
then
propose
doing
a
summary
of
other
funds.
So
presently
we
report
on
every
fund
outside
of
the
general
fund,
but
some
of
those
funds
are
really
quite
small
and
oftentimes.
I
There's
not
not
much
news
new
to
report
actually,
so
what
we
would
propose
would
be
every
quarter,
ensuring
that
we
always
talk
about
the
airport,
the
solid
waste
and
the
water
renewal
funds,
and
then
the
other
funds
would
be
would
include
a
narrative
as
warranted
and
I'll
outline
in
a
little
bit
how
we
would
ensure
that
the
council
still
had
a
view
into
the
financial
performance
of
those
funds.
I
We
propose,
in
this
revised
format,
to
include
the
contingency
tracker.
That's
currently
an
element
of
the
quarterly
report
that
I
think
is
valuable
for
the
council
members.
It
outlines
any
amounts
allocated
for
the
city
council,
strategic
planning
contingency
or
for
the
unallocated
operating
contingency
as
well
as
any
uses
throughout
the
year,
and
we
propose
continuing
to
report
on
that.
I
A
few
new
sections
which
we
have
proposed
to
add
would
be
an
overtime
analysis
outlining
the
budgets
for
every
department
for
overtime,
the
proposed
usage
and
a
narrative,
if
warranted
on
Department
use.
I
The
next
element
would
be
also
a
new
section
which
would
be
a
vacancy
status
and
in
that
vacancy
status
we
would
show
the
number
of
vacancies
in
the
general
fund
all
of
those
in
the
other
funds,
as
well
as
aggregate
that
for
a
city-wide
vacancy
report.
I
think
that
would
be
a
very
telling
report
when
you're
looking
at
the
financial
performance
of
any
individual
Department.
I
Another
new
element
that
we're
proposing
to
add
would
be
an
IBC
look
back
table.
So
presently
the
council
approves
interim
budget
changes
throughout
the
course
of
the
year,
but
oftentimes
it
can
be
a
little
cumbersome
to
go
back
and
find
what
what
was
approved
and
when
that
was
so,
we
would
include
a
summary
table
outlining
all
of
the
changes
by
fund
and
the
date
that
those
changes
were
made
just
for
quick
reference.
I
We
would
then
propose
continuing
with
our
Capital
status
report.
That's
an
element
of
the
report
as
currently
structured,
but
we
would
propose
moving
the
comments
within
that
report
to
an
exception
based
for
projects
that
are
on
track
or
have
exceeded
anticipated
levels
or
schedule
might
be
deviating
from
the
proposed
schedule.
I
I'll
also
note
with
this
that
monthly
financial
information,
this
the
quarterly
financial
report
is
not
the
only
place
to
find
monthly
financial
information
back
in
early
2021,
we
implemented
the
city's
open
budget
platform
called
openbook
and
through
that
platform,
any
member
of
the
community
or
elected
official
or
anybody
could
go
in
and
see
how
we're
spending
our
money
at
an
even
much
more
granular
level
than
is
included
in
our
budget
document,
so
that
information
would
continue
to
be
available.
I
In
terms
of
next
steps,
you
know
obviously
we're
here
to
solicit
any
feedback
on
these
proposed
changes
pending
that
feedback.
We
would
then
work
to
refine
the
presentation.
I
The
the
illustrative
example
which
was
distributed
last
week
was
was
purely
that
it
was
illustrative
and
we
would
work
to
improve
the
the
graphical
display
of
information.
You
know
make
sure
that
it
it
it
meets
our
objective
of
readability.
I
We
would
work
to
enhance
our
internal
monitoring
procedures
and
automate
production,
and
then
our
goal
here
is
to
implement
this
revised
structure
in
time
to
have
it
be
reflected
as
part
of
our
quarter.
One
report
for
fiscal
year
23,
so
that
would
be
a
February
time
frame
of
next
calendar
year.
E
Mayor
first
feedback,
the
new
sections,
particularly
the
overtime
report
and
empty
ftes
I,
think,
are
going
to
be
really
Illuminating.
So
thank
you.
I
had
a
question,
my
understanding,
of,
like
exception
exception,
based
reporting,
is
like
from
the
database
world
where
you
have
a
body
of
data,
and
then
you
get
incoming
data
streams
and
you
flag
and
deal
with
something
that
deviates
from
the
basic
body
of
data
and
I
assume
it's
kind
of
the
same
here.
But
the
question
is
like:
what's
the
what's
the
register
basic
data
that
we're
noting
exceptions
against?
E
I
Council
member,
thank
you
for
that
question.
The
the
way
that
we
would
approach
this
is,
we
would,
you
know,
obviously
have
our
have
our
budget.
We
would
look
at
the
actual
budget
to
actual
variances
for
every
single
department
and
we
would
have
to
establish
some
sort
of
a
of
a
materiality
threshold
for
variances.
In
some
instances
they
may
be
very
small.
In
other
instances.
I
They
may
be
bigger,
it's
hard
to
establish
a
mathematical
equation
to
do
that
because
of
seasonality
and
and
the
way
that
some
of
our
revenues
and
expenditures
occur,
but
you
know
we're
building
out
seasonality,
tracking
and
mechanisms
that
we
would
be
able
to
do
that,
not
sure
if
that
answers
the
question
it.
E
I
think
so
so
that
the
we're
tracking
deviations
against
the
budget
and
there's
going
to
be
some
challenges,
because
Revenue
comes
in
in
different
ways
and
expenditures
go
out
in
different
ways,
but
the
Baseline
that
we're
noting
exceptions
to
is
that
the
budget,
as
that
we
passed,
that
is
correct.
Awesome.
Thank
you.
Thanks.
D
Madam
mayor,
so
a
little
bit
of
follow-up
on
that
and
I'm
I
was
glad
to
hear
you
say
that,
because
this
was
my
question
that
not
every
exception
will
be
measured,
the
same
way
that
you'll
measure
it
based
on
what
is
exceptional,
for
that
particular
thing.
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
and
I
I
think
that
for
those
of
us
who've
been
reading
these
for
a
while.
D
D
Thank
you
quick
question.
You
noted
that
everyone
will
still
have
access
to
the
base
numbers
behind
all
of
this
on
our
open
book
platform.
D
Just
would
you
include
a
link
to
that
every
time
you
do
one
of
these
just
so,
if
other
people
are
looking
at
it
or
council
members,
and
they
want
to
go
dig
into
the
data,
they
don't
have
to
go.
Look
that
up.
D
H
I
just
want
to
know
how
how
nice
it
is
that
you
are
putting
forward
effort
to
make
sure
that
not
only
council
members,
but
the
public
are
receiving
this
information
in
a
way
that
makes
sense
that
is
enlightening
and
that
it's
both
of
those
things
without
having
to
have
like
some
kind
of
business
degree
or
being
an
accountant
or
an
economist,
so
I
think
that
that's
really
great
it
just
really
enhances
our
understanding
of
things
and,
similarly,
in
the
department
of
internal
audit,
we're
doing
some.
H
You
know
Brian's
walking
us
through
something
similar
like
what
does
it
look
like
to
have
reporting
that
really
works
and
makes
sense
and
is
easy
to
use
and
easy
to
understand.
So
I
think
that
those
those
two
things
I
think
are
great
to
have
really
appreciate
your
efforts
in
that
area.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
C
You
and
mayor
just
a
quick
question,
so
this
is
hopefully
going
to
be
more
efficient
for
you
and
your
team.
Do
you
know,
do
you
have
an
idea
of
how
much
time
you
think
this
is
going
to
save
for
y'all.
I
Councilmember
I
I
can't
answer
that.
I
would
speculate
that
in
the
earlier
months,
the
the
earlier
iterations
that
this
is
probably
going
to
be
a
little
bit
more
of
a
lift
as
we,
you
know,
kind
of
work
through
process
improvements
and
make
sure
we
get
all
of
our
wiring
straight,
but
we
do
spend
a
significant
amount
of
time
on
this.
You
know
I
would
I
would
guess
you
know
a
matter
of
days
when
you
look
at
cumulative
hours,
yeah.
C
I
I
think
it's
like
council,
member,
woodings
I
think
it's
so
great
that
we
are
looking
at
systems
and
process
Improvement
and
that
you
all
are
being
proactive
about
that
and-
and
it
may
take
us
a
little
bit
of
time
for
us
to
get
used
to
it.
If
we've
been
looking
at
the
same
thing
for
a
really
long
time
but
yeah,
hopefully
that
that
is
the
case,
it
does
save
you
some
time
and
provide
that
greater
understanding
for
everyone.
So
appreciate
the
efforts
there.
Thank
you.
J
Madam
mayor,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Eric
I
remember
when
I
first
got
on
Council,
it's
it's
hard
to
admit
when
you
don't
know
something:
it's
embarrassing.
You
feel
stupid
and
I.
J
Remember
getting
here,
and
the
language
is
internal
to
this
world
and
there
was
a
lot
of
use
of
acronyms
and
folks
were
very
kind
in
adding
a
legend
to
our
agenda,
moving
forward,
which
I
greatly
appreciate,
and
what
I
appreciate
is
that
there
has
been
that
constant
effort
to
try
to
make
this
very
dense
information
accessible,
not
just
to
the
folks
here
at
the
Deus,
but
to
our
community
members.
J
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
that
and
I'm
certain
that
our
our
constituents
really
appreciate
that,
because
again,
when
you
don't
know
the
language,
when
you
don't
know
the
internal
workings,
it's
really
easy
to
just
turn
away
from
this
and
I
think
when
we
provide,
when
we
indicate
to
our
folks
that
we're
we're
doing
this,
we're
being
proactive
about
it
and
not
waiting
for
them
to
make
themselves
vulnerable
and
and
share
that
they
don't
understand.
J
C
A
D
A
mirror
yes
I,
have
a
resolution
to
defer
without
I
would
move
that
we
defer
resolution
639-22
to
a
date
certain
of
November
1st.
E
A
You
now
the
rest
of
the
items
are
considered
to
be
routine
by
the
council
and
be
enacted
by
one
motion.
There's
no
separate
discussion
on
these
items
unless
a
council,
member
or
citizens
so
requests,
in
which
case
the
end
will
be
removed
from
the
general
order
of
business
and
considered
in
its
normal
sequence.
Madame.
