F
I
think
2021
is
when
I
was
just
it
was
during
covid,
so
it
was
all
over
Zoom,
but
anyway,
I
appreciate
that
so
I'm,
a
wildfire
mitigation,
specialist
I'm,
a
captain
in
our
Wildfire
division
for
the
Boise
fire
department,
been
on
the
department
over
22
years,
I'm
a
certified
Wildfire
mitigation
specialist,
so
I
have
special
skills
and
expertise
in
Wildfire
mitigation.
I
work
with
our
city
of
Boise
Wildfire
mitigation
team,
which
is
multiple
different
departments
around
the
city
working
on
large-scale.
You
know
fuel
mitigation
projects.
F
F
So
my
full
efforts
are
are
focused
on
doing
Wildfire
mitigation
for
the
city
and
trying
to
protect
our
community
members
from
threat
of
wildfire
in
October
last
year
they
shifted
my
role
in
position
under
Tony
Piscopo
he's
our
Wildfire
division
chief
and
our
fire
prevention
or
fire
marshal,
or
our
fire
prevention
division.
Chief
Mike
bazano
I
no
longer
report
directly
to
Mike
I
report
directly
to
Tony
Piscopo
in
our
Wildfire
Division
and
our
Wildfire
division
is
pretty
thin.
F
It's
Tony
myself
and
a
part-time
employee,
and,
and
then
we
try
to
you,
know,
work
with
community
volunteers
and
that
sort
of
thing
to
to
maintain
maintain
some
of
the
programs
that
we're
currently
doing
as
such
being
shifted
over
from
prevention,
division
to
Wildfire
and
reporting
to
our
division.
Chief
Tony
Piscopo
I
no
longer
review
Wildfire
safety
plans,
which
are
a
requirement
for
new
developments
in
the
city
of
Boise.
When
new
development
is
built
in
a
Wildland
Urban
interface
area,
they're
required
to
have
a
wildfire
safety
plan
that
goes
over
vegetation
management.
F
Provided
those
comments
and
advice
to
you
know
our
fire
marshal
in
the
past
and
then
the
fire
marshal
decides
whether
that
plan
is
acceptable
or
not
and
reaches
back
out
to
the
developer,
to
let
them
know
so,
I've
only
provided
advice.
You
know
to
our
fire
marshal
in
the
past.
I.
Don't
do
that
anymore.
So
I've
been
writing
since
your
advisory
opinion.
Prior
to
this,
on
this
particular
case,
I've
been
writing.
F
Wildfire
safety
plans
for
developers
out
in
the
city
of
eagle
in
Elmore
County
in
unincorporated,
80
County,
outside
of
the
area
that
we
provide
service
for,
and
so
my
question
before
you
today
is
since
I
am
no
longer
providing
comments
on
those
plans
to
our
fire
marshal
and
since
I
am
no
longer
reporting
directly
to
our
fire
marshal.
My
my
supervisor
is
Tony
boscope
on
our
Wildfire
division,
I
I'd.
F
F
We
want
to
make
sure
that
people
that
are
writing
those
sort
of
plans
are
doing
those
right
for
the
best
interest
of
the
community
and
the
you
know,
protection
of
the
community
from
Wildfire
a
lot
of
folks.
Don't
think
that
we
have
a
huge
threat
of
wildfire
in
this
community,
but
you
can
only
look
back
a
year
on
a
marshall
fire
in
Boulder
County
and
see
that
in
a
shrub-step
environment
where
they've
got
grasses
and
shrubs
they
lost
over
1100
homes.
F
That
was
a
big
issue
right
on
on
flat
terrain,
and
we
have
you
know
a
different
terrain
here,
so
it
just
takes
the
right
wind
blowing
fire
at
the
right
time.
You
know
to
lose
a
lot
of
structures
and
I
I,
I'm
I
was
born
and
raised
here.
I,
don't
want
to
ever
see
that
happen
to
our
community.
So
that's
that's
what
I
have
to
say.
G
F
F
So
the
the
way
things
are
currently
set
up
is
the
I'll
give
an
example
of
one
gentleman.
I
won't
say
the
name,
because
I
know
this
for
the
record
and
such
but
writing
Wildfire
safety
plans
for
area.
He
provides
those
to
the
developer.
The
developer
submits
those
to
the
city,
and
so
that's
there
he's
out
of
that.
F
Loop
he's
a
subcontractor
for
the
developer
and
he
simply
submits
those
to
developer
the
developer,
and
he
talked
about
revisions
to
that
particular
plan,
which
is
the
same
thing
I've
done
in
other
jurisdictions
in
our
area
and
then
it's
upon
them
to
submit
that
to
the
city.
It's
a
complete
plan
at
that
point
and
there's
I
would
tell
the
developer
to
work
with
the
fire
marshal
on
that.
You
know
and
the
fire
marshal
our
fire
marshal
knows
this
stuff
enough.
F
After
being
around
for
as
long
as
he
has
and
and
from
you
know
with
me,
assisting
his
understanding
of
wildfire
preparedness,
he's
got
a
good
grasp
on
this
stuff.
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
that
there's
any
need
for
him
to
contact
me
personally
or
this
other
gentleman
and
if
they
did
I
would
refer
him
to
the
developer.
E
Good
afternoon,
thanks
for
your
conscientiousness
and
bringing
this
back
to
to
the
ethics,
commission,
I
think
that's
I,
think
that's
really
laudable
and
thanks.
Thanks
for
your
good
work,
too,
you've
described
a
bit
about
how
your
job
responsibilities
have
changed
here
within
the
city
wondering
a
little
bit
about
the
the
nature
and
scope
of
your
work.
You
know
in
your
private
capacity,
so
is
it
does
it
continue
to
be
the
case
that
all
of
your
work
is
done
after
hours
weekend
outside
the
sort
of
regular
business
hours
of
the
city?
E
So
that's
one
two:
is
it
still
the
case
that
you
don't
make
use
of
City
facilities
and
resources
in
the
execution
of
that
work?
And
then
three?
Does
it
remain
the
case
that
you,
you
know,
try
to
keep
that
that
firewall
up
in
terms
of
communications,
obviously
there's
been
a
little
bit
of
bleed
over,
isn't
the
right
term
right,
but
you
do
have
that
that
unique
skill
set
and
and
knowledge
base,
but
to
the
same
extent
that
it
was
true.
E
F
First
thing
I
tell
developers
right
off.
The
bat
is
listen,
I
work,
full
time
for
the
Boise
fire
department,
and
you
know
I
am
available
on
Friday
Fridays
I'm
available
on
weekends.
You
know
I'm
available
in
the
evenings
and
I
work
in
the
evenings
late.
Typically,
so
I
do
maintain
that
separation
and
I
take
that
very
seriously.
So
thank
you
for
the
question.
Thanks.
B
F
If
they
shifted
my
position
back
into
the
prevention
division,
which
I
I
don't
see
them
ever
doing,
and
if
that
was
the
case,
then
I
would
have
to
pull
back
from
doing
those
sorts
of
things
again
for
developers
in
the
city
of
Boise.
That's
the
only
thing
that
I
can
think
of.
That
would
end
up
being
a
potential
issue,
but
because
Wildfire
is
such
a
prevalent
sort
of
destructive
force
in
in
our
society,
and
it's
all
over
the
news
every
year
they
they
dedicated
my
position
2011
to
doing
Wildfire
mitigation.
F
B
One
other
thing:
Mr
McAdams:
when
you
go
on
these
seminars,
when
you're
traveling,
we
say
when
you
use
your
vacation
time,
you
don't
use
the
city
of
Boise
or
in
the
capacity
to
for
this.
You
know
you
don't
wear
any
uniforms
or
any
portray
yourself
as
because
that
could
potentially
you
know,
show
some
influence
to
somebody.
That's.
F
A
great
question,
and
and
no
I
do
not
when
I
teach
for
National
Fire
Protection
Association.
They
want
me
to
wear
their
logo,
so
I
have
shirts
to
have
the
NFPA
logo
on
it.
I
have
my
own
shirts
that
have
the
MC
fire
LLC
logo
on
it
that
I
use
when
I
teach
my
own
classes
or
when
I'm
meeting
a
developer,
or
you
know
doing
some
sort
of
consulting
job
for
someone.
So
no
I
I
separate
those
completely.
F
In
fact,
I
was
just
talking
to
Chief
Gervais
before
I
came
down
here
about
a
conference
at
UC.
Davis
is
hosting
in
in
February
I'm
taking
vacation
leave
to
go,
learn
more
about
Wildfire
resilient
structures
at
this
particular
conference,
which
helps
me
in
my
Consulting
business.
But
it
also
helps
me
in
my
business
that
I
do
with
Wildfire
mitigation,
the
city
of
Boise,
so
I
I
feel
like
that
everybody
should
take
on
that
sort
of
lifelong
learner
concept.
F
You
know
that
there's
never
enough
information
that
we
can
cram
into
our
toolboxes
and
I
want
to
do
my
job
with
Excellence,
both
with
you
know,
for
the
Boise
fire
department
and
for
developers
that
I
work
with
and
and
the
students
that
I
teach,
and
so
with
that
thought
in
mind.
I
mean
I,
I,
separate
everything
I'm
going
down
there,
I
paid
for
it.
You
know,
for
the
the
trip
and
for
the
conference
I'm
taking
vacation
leave,
I
paid
for
all
that
with
my
business.
G
F
C
H
H
If
you
know
in
the
event
Jerry
that
there's
a
requirement
that
you
scrub
any
reference
to
the
city
of
Boise
from
kind
of
your
biography
and
your
about
you
section
on
this
site
to
the
extent
that
that
causes
some
sort
of
conflict
is
that
I
guess
in
in
your
mind?
Is
that
devalue,
your
your
advertising
or
how
you
hold
yourself
out
to
the
public?
Or
would
you
have
no
concern
removing
that
from
the
site.
F
F
You
know
you
know,
I,
don't
think
it.
It
puts
me
out
there
as
working
for
the
city
of
Boise
I'm,
just
stating
a
fact
that
I've
I've
been
a
firefighter
for
the
city
of
Boise
for
over
22
years.
You
know
this
is
my
experience
level
and
and
when
I'm
giving
my
bio
at
a
conference
that
I'm
teaching
either
you
know
I'm
doing
a
presentation
for
the
city
of
Boise
or
or
else
wise.
You
know,
I
I
give
my
biography.
F
I
I
went
to
graduate
school
at
Willamette,
I
went
to
Boise
State
University
did
my
undergrad
in
Psychology
I,
give
the
whole
Spiel
right,
including
my
time
with
the
Boise
fire
department.
I,
don't
think
that's
a
conflict
of
interest
in
and
of
itself,
but
if,
if
you
all
do
think
it
is
a
conflict,
interest,
I'm
happy
to
take
it
off
my
website.
H
Okay,
yeah
and
I,
don't
think
we're
to
the
point
of
making
that
detailed
of
a
determination,
but
that
was
really
the
only
overlap
that
I
could
find
between
your
your
private
Consulting
business
and
your
position
with
the
city
of
Boise.
There's
mechanisms
in
place
in
other
professions
to
to
address
those
things
and
work
to
separate
them
without
you
having
to
have
a
15-year
Gap
in
your
resume
when,
when
you're
presenting
yourself
as
a
candidate
for
one
of
these
opportunities,
so
just
wanted
to
chat
through
it
really
quick.
Thank
you.
B
E
G
E
E
So
I
I
think
that
you
know,
for
my
own
part,
having
just
reviewed
the
the
annual
report,
not
with
the
fine-tooth
comb
but
but
a
a
skim.
More
than
a
skim
looks
great
to
me.
I'm
grateful
for
the
work
that's
gone
into.
It
I
think
that
we
might
need
to
either
revise
the
the
agenda,
or,
at
least
in
our
motion,
to
approve
make
sure
that
we're
approving
the
right
report
by
by
name
if
it
is
in
fact
the
annual
report
for
2022.
B
G
I
Yes,
I,
don't
know
how
much
detail
I
need
to
provide
or
really
what
needs
to
be
said
on
that
other
than
the
fact
that
the
two
positions
that
are
up
they're
ending
in
February
of
this
year
would
be
Chair
King
and
then
commissioner
Church
and
then
there
is
a
vacant
position
as
well
and
just
background
on
the
various
positions.
The
chair,
Mr
King
is
the
employee
from
the
city
of
Boise.
I
That's
on
the
commission,
and
that
is
one
of
the
positions
that's
up
for
election
in
February
and
then
there
are
two
positions
appointed
by
the
council,
the
city
council
and
one
of
those
is
currently
vacant
and
and
then
there
are
two
positions
from
the
mayor's
office
and
one
of
those
positions
is
the
one
that
will
be
up
for
election
as
well
in
February,
so
I
believe
it's
three
total
seats.
If
that's
it's
not
right.
C
B
I
H
I
know
that
commissioner
Roark
has
been
here
since
the
beginning
of
time.
I
think,
but
are
there?
Is
there
any
sort
of
limitation
on
the
amount
of
time
someone
can
serve
on
the
commission,
regardless
of,
and
maybe
it
differs
by
their
appointment,
but
I
guess
my
concern
would
be
if
for
some
reason,
commissioner
church
and
commissioner
King
both
can
continue
and
we
don't
fill
one
of
those
other.
A
E
C
I
All
right,
we
wasn't
a
whole
lot
of
activity
that
specifically
implement
or
implicated
the
ethics
commission.
The
three
items
that
I
will
just
Briefly
summarize
the
first.
We
received
a
question
to
the
inbox
from
a
city
employee
who
was
offered
football
tickets
to
a
Boise
State
game
by
a
personal
friend.
I
Second,
we
received
a
question
to
the
inbox
from
a
member
of
city
council
regarding
the
possibility
of
serving
on
the
board
of
a
non-profit
operation
without
any
compensation,
and
that
individual
was
told
to
please
submit
a
request
for
advisory
opinion
to
the
commission.
None
has
yet
been
submitted,
but
that
is
the
status
of
that
email
request
and
the
third.
There
was
a
question
from
another
city
employee,
about
accepting
a
contract
to
perform
work
on
the
construct
construction
of
an
ice
rink
in
a
different
city
in
the
state.
