A
A
That
I
actually
haven't
been
able
to
come
and
see
hybrid
for
so
long
and
then,
as
we
transition
back,
it
just
hasn't
been
scheduled.
So
it's
really
exciting
for
me
to
to
be
here
and
see
you
all
those
of
you
that
are
in
the
room
face
to
face,
and
then
thank
you
to
those
of
you
for
your
service
to
the
call
then.
So
I
appreciate
the
time
and
I
wanted
to
come
and
talk
and
give
you
an
update
really
on
some
of
our
priorities
and
how
they
connect
with
the
open
space
committee.
A
But
thank
you
for
including
pathways
and
that
connection
that
I
think,
is
really
important
from
our
farmland
to
our
food
bills
as
part
of
within
your
conservation
criteria
and
as
we've
launched
our
pathways
master
plan.
Because
you
know,
we've
got
council
members,
clay
and
cali
burton
that
are
really
interested
in
expanding
access
along
the
canals.
But.
E
A
Corridors
in
some
ways
as
we
reimagine
what
living
space
and
park
slope
right
here
and
that
plan
that
was
just
finalized
right
now.
We
have
50
miles
in
our
city
of
access
along
canals,
and
our
goal
is
to
pretty
much
triple
that,
because
the
plan
calls
for
another
110
or
111
miles
of
pathways
eastmans
that
we
believe
that
we
can
acquire
for
our
residents
and
that
fan
also
calls
in
the
priorities
that
you
all
have
set
in
terms
of
your
conservation
criteria.
And
so
it
gives
an
add
to
that.
A
E
A
Natural
plants
back
in
the
ground
so
so
and
and
that's
a
big
part
of
our
climate
action
plans.
But
then
also
our
commitment
to
the
america
initiative
to
set
aside
and
protect
clean
water
and
open
spaces
to
increase
citizen
engagement
when
it
comes
to
protecting
our
environment.
Checking
our
open
space,
clean
water
and,
of
course,
mitigating
the
climate
and
then
restoring
or
protecting
existing
natural
areas
within
our
parks
and
seeking
as
many
opportunities
to
create
those
natural
spaces
within.
A
That
we're
creating
and
all
of
that
combined,
I
think
so
closely
aligns
to
the
priorities
that
you've
established.
That
now
will
be
really
complemented
by
your
interest
in
including
pathways
in
the
criteria,
because
this
loving
and
important
funding
source
will
seek
additional
funding
elsewhere,
but
it
creates
that
care
if
you
will
to
find
additional
funding
to
be
able
to
make
good
honor
full
vision
that
our
pathways
committee,
our
council
and
my
office
and
our
city
quite
frankly,
has
when
it
comes
to
preserving
and
granting
access
to
our
folks.
So
I
just
wanted.
E
A
When
you
think
about
like
the
kinds
of
projects
or
the
sorts
of
investments
that
you'd
like
to
see
made
with
the
levy
funds,
what
are
you,
what
are
you
sort
of
you
sort
of
envision
sure?
Well,
one
I'd
say
that
I
also
think
that
there's
types
of
projects,
the
language
is
clear:
it's
clean
water,
open
space
so
and
the
public
around
the
city
supports
it.
A
It
possible
for
this
commission
then
to
have
the
resources
to
set
us
up
space
and
to
protect
our
clean
water
and,
as
we
look
at
land
becoming
more
and
more
difficult
to
acquire,
as
we
tend
to
grow
up
as
a
city
and
grow
together
and
having
that
kind
of
the
linear
parks.
If
you
will
the
open
spaces
great
spaces
throughout
the
community
are
really
important
to
me,
and
I
think
they're
important
for
the
community.
A
But
then
the
other
thing
I'd
say
is
that
we've
tried
to
find
clean
water
projects
and
we've
also
committed
to
america,
the
beautiful
for
by
2030
to
have
invested
30
million
dollars
in
opus,
basically
water
and
so
there'll
be
opportunity
as
we
move
forward
to
have
the
public
say
yet
again
that
this
is
important
and
then
to
really
figure
out
how
to
nail
that
clean
water
piece.
But
I
do
see
pathways
also
as
that
access
along
the
water
it
connects
to
the
river.
Eventually.
How
do
we
do
that.
A
It's
important
to
the
public
that,
as
land
and
access
negotiate
become
more
constrained.
We
spend
that
money
right.
They
made
the
investment
in
2015.
Each
of
us
made
the
investment
in
2015
and
we've
done
great
with
it,
and
the
opportunities
as
our
city
grows
just
get
tougher
to
find,
and
so
I
would
really
like
to
see
the
if
you
will
the
final.
B
Committee
members,
the
mayor,
has
asked
our
department
parks
and
recreation
to
take
away
implementing
the
results
of
the
pathways
plan,
and
so
we're
going
through
the
process
right
now
of
identifying
some
of
the
key
priority
connections
that
the
committee
identified
and
looking
at
how
we
could
implement
the
strategy
of
the
of
the
plan
and
take
that
back
to
the
layer
to
take
a
look
at
what
our
recommendations
are
and
moving
that
forward.
And
so
some
of
that
is,
is
you
know,
it'll
be
improving
pathways.
B
The
connection
itself.
There
is
a
current
connection,
for
example,
on
a
canal
way
or
creating
a
new
pathway
that
will
create
a
connection
according
to
the
priority
plan,
and
if
it's
a
canal,
there's
not
only
improvement
output,
but
you
have
low
intensity
and
you
also
have
to
look
at
the
potential
for
easiness.
So,
as
we
start
digging
into
this,
it
is
going
to
be
a
plan.
That's
going
to
take
some
time
to
implement
because
there'll
be
a
lot
of
negotiation
that
will
have
to
occur
to
create
this
robust
connectivity
that
they
are.
B
B
It's
becoming
almost
theory
it'll
be
similar
to
the
green
bill
in
that
there's,
a
lot
of
landowners
that
have
property
within
the
priority
recommendations
of
the
pathway
committee.
So
there
is
going
to
be
easement
requirements,
purchasing
of
land
potentially
to
pull
off
the
connectivity,
which
is
nothing
new
to
us.
B
B
B
To
work
with,
because
they're
very
protective
of
their
liability
along
their
waterways
and
that
totally
makes
sense,
but
we
do
have
some
great
relationships
with
a
number
of
those
and
we're
going
to
be
leveraging
those
in
looking
at
some
of
those
priorities
that
the
pathways
committee
has
come
up
with
on
how
we
can
start
actually
picking
off
some
of
the
low-hanging
fruit.
That
would
create
some
really
vital
connections
within
the
community,
working
closely
with
your
with
the
irrigation
companies.
But
it
is
going
to
be
a
challenge
and
getting
easements.
B
B
You
know
in
not
only
connecting
parks
through
the
pathway
system,
but
potential
new,
open
space
opportunities
throughout
the
community
as
well,
and
it's
a
transportation
corridor
just
like
the
green
belt.
So
wherever
we
can
even
match
up
connections
that
would
give
folks
to
the
green
belt
is
a
huge
benefit.
A
They
even
took
me
on
industry.
Now
I
even
got
to
do
a
ditching
afternoon.
It
was
super
fun
just
to
like
be
in
the
truck
and
go
down
all
these
canal
passes.
I
normally
wouldn't
get
to
drive
on
in
the
car
and
really
really
see
it
from
a
different
perspective.
As
we
talked
about
how
we
could
partner
to
acquire
public
access.
A
C
A
E
D
A
A
A
lot
of
working
energy
into
it.
So
thank
you
for
that
question.
Yes
directed
to
you.
Is
there
anything
that
we
could
do
as
committee
members
or
to
encourage
you,
know,
friends,
family
other
people
that
are
excited
about
that
project
to
help
you
move
forward?
That's
a
great
question.
I
appreciate
it.
You
know
once
the
committee
has
has
worked
with
parks
to
come
up
with
those
priorities
and
you
all
have
seen
it
and
we're
going
to
share
that,
of
course
with
council
as
well
as
they
weigh
in
engaging
the
public
on.
A
You
know,
there's
not
an
action
tape
right,
but
engaging
the
public,
letting
them
know
that
this
is
some
of
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
and
then
encouraging
them
to
support
us
along
the
way
is
always
great,
and
then
we
have
a
ton
of
feedback
during
the
pathways
plan.
So
there
were
opportunities
for
the
public
to
do
surveys
to
show
up
at
parks
and
talk
about
what
they
wanted
to
see.
But
we're.
A
D
A
A
D
A
A
This
application
we
originally
discussed
last
fall
and
at
that
time
there
was
a
lot
of
questions.
We
only
had
a
very
you
know,
small
quorum,
and
I
believe
it
was
community
member
from
billy
who
asked
that
we
bring
it
back
when
we
have
a
vote
and
in
that
time
we
have
taken
the
time
to
revisit
the
conservation
criteria
based
on
the
initiatives
that
and
strategic
efforts
that
have
began
and
since
2017.
A
Better
informed
on
how
we
should
approach
discussions
with
regard
to
this
improvement
project.
Very
briefly,
a
reminder.
Hopefully
you
had
a
chance
to
look
through
the
application
again
or
today,
but
this
is
a
partnership
project
that
is
proposed
between
the
city
of
boise,
public
works
and
parks
and
bsu
to
try
and
get
a
better
understanding
about
how
shrub
ecosystems,
sequester
carbon
in
the
soil.
A
A
C
E
A
I
can
try
that
and
then
martha
can
correct
me.
If
I
get
mistaken,
my
understanding
is
we
honed
in
on
the
match
a
little
bit
more
specifically,
so
that
it
was
clear
that
boise
state
and
the
the
match
that
that
boise
state
was
providing
with
staffing
and
the
funding
that
the
city
would
be
providing
would
be
going
towards
deliverables.
I
also
understand
that
public
works
was
able
to
increase
their
contribution
to
the
project.
A
E
E
We
haven't
honed
in
on
a
specific
amount
above
that,
but
now
that
our
subsequent
year
budget
funding
has
kicked
in,
we
may
be
able
to
to
supplement
that
a
little
bit
based
on
the
outcome
of
the
process.
So
I'm
certainly
willing
to
continue
those
discussions
with
commissioner
arkell
marca
martha
and
the
others
as
necessary.
A
C
Yeah,
I
can
I
can
chime
in
here
so
I'm
the
graduate
coordinator
for
the
biology
department
in
in
boise
state,
and
so
if
we
are
able
to
provide
a
little
bit
of
funding
to
a
student
to
achieve
part
of
this
project,
it
is
very
likely
that
boise
state
university
will
match
those
funds
with
a
ta
line
to
support
a
student.
So
I
think
we
have
a
a
high
possibility
of
making
this
happen.
I
just
can't
say
it.
A
A
C
A
Yeah,
so
as
a
reminder,
and
for
those
of
you
who
have
are
sort
of
new
to
our
committee,
you
make
a
recommendation.
It
gets
taken
to
the
mayor
and
council
for
consideration.
Should
they
recommend
moving
forward.
Then
I
go
back
and
work
with
the
applicant
to
create
an
agreement
that
then
goes
to
council
for
approval
and
that
agreement
would
stipulate
details
such
as
who
owns
the
information
and
how
you
know
billing
will
be
handled
and
who's
the
project
manager
and
all
that
stuff.
D
C
Yeah,
that's
a
really
good
question.
Thank
you.
So
what
we
are
planning
on
doing
is
collecting
a
whole
bunch
of
some
samples
from
different
areas
that
have
different
types
of
vegetation
in
them,
and
what
we
do,
then,
is
we
can
understand
how
different
types
of
vegetation
impact,
the
amount
of
carbon
that
sits
in
the
soil,
and
then
we
work
with
a
modeler
who
then
is
able
to
model
how
vegetation
is
linked
to
soil
carbon.
C
C
It's
not
nearly
as
time
intensive,
but
we
really
just
need
those
first
data
to
get
the
the
baseline
the
foundation,
and
then
we
can
use
that
to
quantify
into
the
future
and
it
will
really
give
us
an
understanding
of
how
different
restoration
projects
to
get
sagebrush
back,
for
example,
or
to
plant
other
types
of
vegetation.
How
that
will
impact
soil
carbon
into
the
future,
even
with
changes
in
climates
we'll
be
able
to
to
model
it
in
to
the
future?
If
you
know
it
gets
drier
or
better
or
warmer.
A
I'm
sure
if
I
can
just
add
one
point
in
context,
because
I
think
what
dr
degraff
mentioned
about
utilizing
kind
of
baseline
data
to
step.
You
know
more
and
more
information.
On
top
of
so
we
can
make
better
management
decisions
when,
when
we
first
started
as
a
committee,
we
didn't
have
a
habitat
map
of
all
of
our
reserves,
and
we
marked
the
worked
with
a
consulting
firm
to
make
sure
that
we
had
a
good
idea.
What
the
habitat
was
across.
A
A
E
A
I
sort
of
think
that
our
residents
are
going
to
expect
this
from
us
to
be
able
to
answer
answer.
Questions
like
this.
As
climate
change,
you
know
continues
to
impact
us
more
and
more.
It's
also
not
a
very
expensive
project,
especially
in
terms
of
all
the
all
the
levy,
funds
that
remain,
and
it's
you
know
difficult
to
buy
real
estate
in
a
way
that
wasn't
true,
certainly
ten
years
ago,
maybe
even
five
years
ago,
maybe
even
two
years
ago.
So
I
I'm
really
excited
about
this
project.
A
A
A
A
I
would
say
my
suggestion
would
be
that
the
committee
consider
a
motion
that
would
recommend
funding
the
project
in
total,
including
potential
opportunities
to
form
additional
match
and
project
improvements.
The
data
piece,
I'm
I'm
fully
confident-
does
not
need
to
be
a
part
of
the
motion.
I
think
we
can
work
that
out.
A
C
A
A
A
D
A
A
A
Executive
session
this
for
this
meeting-
and
I
will
I
don't-
have
any
committee
updates
that
I
need
that
time
for
executive
session?
Okay,
that
sounds
great,
we'll
move
into
executive
session,
I'm
gonna
leave
before
you
do
that.
Can
I
take
a
picture
of
that
just
stay
where
you're
at
actually
cause
I
was
like.
Oh,
I
should
just
go.
