Say
hi
barbara
for
the
newer
members
of
our
committee.
We
did
this
more
frequently
before
oven,
where
we
would
bring
folks
in
and
have
educational
sessions
and
those
types
of
sessions
would
relate
to
you
know,
helping
you
better
understand
or
evaluate
improvement
project
applications
as
they
come
through
or
just
have
a
better
understanding
of
the
areas
that
you
are
interested
in:
the
boise
foothills
and
the
boise
river
corridor
and
natural
landscapes.
C
C
Okay,
well,
barbara
goes
kind
of
way
back
with
boise
and
left.
C
For
you
plant
nerds
out,
there
is
like
the
place
to
be.
If
you
want
to
be
a
botanist
and
barbara
has
she's
a
boise
native
she's
got
family
in
the
area.
She
has
come
back
to
us
and
has
begun
to
describe
new
species
of
plants
that
are
local
and
endemic.
She.
B
C
G
Well,
thank
you
very
much
for
allowing
me
to
present
to
your
group.
I
have
put
together
a
powerpoint,
so
if
I
can
share
the
screen,
it
looks
like
I
can
I'll
get
going,
so
I
can
make
sure
I
make
it
through
what
I
want
to
do
within
my
allotted
time
frame.
G
Okay,
so,
basically,
you
know,
treasures
of
the
boise
front
is
the
title
that
I've
been
using
for
this.
I,
like
treasure,
valley,
as
well
as
the
treasures
play
and
as
sarah
already
mentioned,
I
am
a
boise
native
born
and
raised
here.
Cut
my
teeth
on
the
local
flora
ended
up
becoming
a
professional
botanist,
mostly
in
western
north
american
floristics
and
taxonomy.
G
I've
published
nearly
about
40
new
plants,
which
may
sound
interesting
point
out
that
there's
actually
about
60
new
plants
per
year,
published
in
north
america,
two-thirds
from
western
north
america.
So
it's
basically
an
ongoing
thing.
We
are
still
learning
the
flora
I
returned
to
boise,
took
early
retirement
in
2005,
picked
up
on
the
boise
flora,
which
I've
been
working
on.
Basically,
since
a
grad
student
in
the
19
undergrad
of
the
1970s-
and
it
became
my
primary
project
during
the
pandemic-
let's
see
so
are
you
seeing
this?
Okay?
G
Yes,
okay,
just
encourage
me
to
check,
so
I
also
want
to
emphasize
that
this
kind
of
work
isn't
just
data
mining
compilation.
I
mean
to
do
it
the
way
that
I've
been
taught
to
do
it.
It's
original
research
I
mean
there's
it's
mostly
thousands
of
hours
of
on
the
ground
surveys,
making
species
list
or
bearing
collections
original
photos
and
pointing
out
that
deleting
erroneous
previous
reports
is
as
important
as
what
species
to
include,
and
that
can
take
a
lot
of
time
to
go
through
when
there's
herbarium
specimens
at
boise,
state
or
cfi.
G
For
some
of
these
reports,
you
can
check
to
see
if
they're
correctly
identified
or
if
they
actually
are
possible
additions,
and
I've
been
doing
this
recently.
Most
of
them
turn
out
to
be
either
out
of
the
area
or
incorrect
and
incorrect.
It's
not.
G
You
know
that
big
of
a
deal
it's
par
for
the
course
I
correct
some
of
my
own
early
identifications
identification
is
actually
sometimes
putting
a
name
on
things
as
a
moving
target,
because
there's
so
many
new
information
coming
in
on
taxonomy,
I
use
multiple
keys,
floras,
sometimes
conflicting,
sometimes
even
contact
the
specialists
themselves
to
find
out.
What's
going
on.
What
should
I
call
this
india?
One
thing
I've
learned
is
the
boise
area
is
surprisingly
under
botanized
we
tend
to
take
the
local
flora
for
granted.
G
Oh,
we
got
better
brush
and
sagebrush
and
balsam
root
and
probably
well
there's
probably
it's
pretty
well
known.
It
turns
out,
though,
that
although
there's
lots
of
springtime
collections
in
the
herbery
and
others,
local
botanists
seem
to
scatter
to
the
high
country
as
soon
as
they
can,
and
so
it's
really
been
kind
of.
We
take
for
granted
what
we
have
locally
and
the
fact
that
there
hasn't
been
that
many
public
trails
until
more
recently
and
even
those
are
more
concentrated
in
the
foothills.
It's
still
hard
to
really
explore.
G
What's
in
the
upper
part
of
the
boise
front,
it's
an
ongoing
thing
and,
as
a
result,
the
existing
wildflower
guides
unless
you're
only
a
subset
of
what's
actually
present,
that
I've
been
finding
out
there
and
my
current
project
is
itself
a
long-term
work
in
progress.
Anyhow.
Major
conclusion:
the
boise
area
is
special.
G
This
is
because
of
its
diverse
geology,
it's
right
where
the
idaho
batholith
meets
the
lake,
idaho
sediments,
and
then
you
have
the
salt
flows
coming
in
from
the
south
as
well
as
a
result,
it's
actually
at
the
boundary
of
three
floristic
provinces
and
you
have
to
use
two
different
floras
to
keep
plants
out
locally,
the
the
pacific
northwest
and
the
floor
of
the
intermountain
region,
but
you
could
also
have
it
within
the
floor
of
the
rocky
mountains.
G
There's
a
5
000
foot
elevation
gradient,
going
all
the
way
from
the
shrub
step
at
the
pan
river
bottom
lens
to
conifer
forest.
So
the
result,
a
rich
diversity
of
plants
may
be
many
of
them
previously
under
record
under
recorded,
including
several
unique
and
otherwise
noteworthy
species.
G
Okay,
the
coverage
that
I'm
using
for
this
work,
I
decided
I
wanted
maximum
habitat
diversity
on
publicly
accessible
trails
within
about
an
hour's
drive
of
downtown
boise,
both
to
encourage
the
sense
of
place
and
hopefully
to
minimize
carbon
footprint.
You
know
to
get
out
and
find
out.
G
You
can
do
stuff,
so
pretty
much
highway,
55
eagle,
road
to
the
west,
blacks,
creek
road
to
the
east
kunimora
road-
and
this
is
not
includes
not
only
the
ridge
to
rivers
but
the
avamor
trails,
oregon
trail
from
bonneville
point
greenbelt,
residential
areas,
hubbard
and
black's
creek
reservoir,
and
I
have
it
divided
into
eight
by
geographic
units.
G
So
the
green
belt
includes
the
residential
area.
South
of
I
mean
north
of
interstate
80.
South
boise,
I've
recently
decided
going
down
to
kunamora.
Oregon
trail
is
more
for
those
upland,
plateaus,
lucky
peak
foothills,
proper,
is
up
to
where
the
lake
idaho
sediments
are.
I've
decided
to
treat
the
avamore
and
hidden
springs
valley
area
on
the
other
side
of
daniel
creek
as
its
own
unit.
G
Middle
elevations
is
above
the
sediments
of
the
sediments
of
lake
idaho
and
before
you
hit
the
conifer
zone
and
thanks
to
martha
braybeck
for
doing
that,
she's
still
working
on
this
one.
So
how
many
do
we
have?
You
might
have
thought
a
few
hundred.
No
I've
added
pushed
it
up
over
a
thousand
still
adding
more
as
we
go
along
less
than
two-thirds
negative
one.
More
than
one-third
non-native
thing
I
like
to
focus
on
is
the
herbaceous.
G
Here's
your
best
known
rare
plants,
aussies
onion,
mulford's,
milk,
veg,
sacajawea
bitterroot
on
the
top
slick,
spot,
pepper
grass
over
towards
eagle
and
there's
also
some
newly
published
ones.
Here's
the
boise
san
verbena,
published
in
2016..
I
did
that
one
jim
smith
and
don
mansfield,
the
college
of
idaho
boise
state,
recently
published
andrus
biscuit
root.
G
These
have
been
known,
but
it's
been
shoehorned
into
something
else
and
they've
done
the
work
to
say.
Oh,
it's
distinct
and
there's
still
other
plans.
I
like
to
use
the
phrase
they
haven't
read
the
book.
You
try
to
key
them
out,
there's
something
wrong:
there's
no
other
name
and
you
kind
of
think.
Well,
maybe
these
are
other
candidates
for
eventually
needing
their
own
name.
G
There's
this
unusually
small
flower
little
thing
called
a
moon
cup
which
I've
mostly
just
seen
on
polecat
gulch.
This
little
compact
form
of
western
bladder
pod
should
be
on
limestone.
Instead,
it's
on
granite
along
one
tiny
spot
on
morris
mountain,
this
form
of
keys
out
best
with
tommy's
onion,
but
doesn't
quite
fit.
You
can
find
it
over
north
of
hidden
springs
and
also
in
east
foothills,
preserve
and
then
the
paintbrush
on
schaefer
beauty,
the
most
common
one
there.
G
You
know
it
kind
of
has
the
wrong
color
for
one
species
the
wrong
leaf
for
another,
and
I
need
the
paintbrush
people
to
look
at
it.
A
few
other
plants
you're
going
to
find
around
here
that
actually
are
on
the
idaho
rare
plant
list,
but
I
don't
think
they've
really
made
it
too
much
or
at
least
they've
been
considered,
I'm
not
totally
sure
on
the
status
of
all
of
these,
but
they're,
certainly
ones
that
should
be
considered.
G
The
rabbit's
foot
milk
fetch
over
near
lucky
peak
moisty
milk,
fetch
common
up
on
the
watchman
trail
acoustics
primrose
down
here
in
the
foothills,
are
only
native
primrose
troop
primrose,
even
some
hedgehog
cats,
that's
over
towards
lucky
peak
and
then
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
these
things
locally
rare.
They
don't
have
any
state
status,
but
if
we
really
are
interested
in
you
know
what
all
adds
to
our
local
diversity.
These
are
the
things
that
could
easily
disappear
simply
by
not
paying
attention
q6
bluebell
found
and
up
near
lucky.
G
You
know
the
norton,
it's
right
near
the
nordic
lodge
if
it
hasn't
already
been
bulldozed,
hairy,
swamp
nettle.
I
found
above
diversion
dam
purple
sage.
The
only
place
that
grows
north
of
the
snake
river
plains.
It's
common
enough
south,
but
this
is
our
only
population,
none
of
it
on
protected
land,
franklin
sandwort,
another
sand,
endemic
idaho.
Our
little
genus
named
after
our
state
used
to
be
much
more
common
is
now
very
hard
to
find
because
it
means
open
space
canvas.
G
There's
only
a
few
places
you
can
find
that
locally
minidoka
penstemon
only
down
in
blacks,
creek
reservoir,
rattlesnake,
plantain
orchid,
could
be
you
know,
wiped
out
by
forest
spinning.
If
it's
not
paid
attention
to
and
here's
a
list
of
things
that
are
historically
there's
records
of
them,
I
haven't
been
able
to
find
them
during
the
current
period.
Maybe
you
know
they
challenges
for
people
to
go.
Look
at
a
lot
of
these
would
be
up
in
the
mid.
Elevations.
G
Also
pay
attention
to
special
habitats.
Like
alkali
flats
slick
spots,
south
alpine
rock
gardens
open
sandy
slopes.
I
mean
this
is
where
most
of
our
rarest
plants
live,
but
once
the
non-native
annual
grasses
take
over
it's
no
longer
the
same
habitat
and
the
neat
stuff
starts
disappearing.
Wind
swept
ridge.
G
Slowly,
you
know
paying
attention
all
these
diverse
habitats
is
what
supports
the
plants,
though,
of
course,
the
most
important
habitat
is
shrub
staff
which,
when
I
grew,
was
growing
up
here
it's
what
was
you
know
the
most
common
thing
all
over
it's
becoming
increasingly
hard
to
find
because
it
gets
invaded
by
non-native
animals
and
what
you
have
is
bunch
grasses,
scattered
shrubs
lots
of
scattered,
wildflowers
and
critically.
Is
all
this
open
space
in
between
them,
cryptogamic
crust,
sometimes
or
biotic
crust?
G
It's
called,
but
that's
such
a
critical
part
of
the
functioning
ecosystem
and
what
provides
the
diversity
of
habitat
for
both
the
plants
and
the
animals
that
depend
on
this
and
the
problem
with
things
like
cheap
grass
is
and
even
bachelor
buttons.
These
annuals
fill
in
the
gaps,
and
then
they
also
carry
fire
more
easily
too,
and
I
wanted
to
emphasize
too
that
it's
easy.
You
know
this
if
you
disturb
it
turns
into
you
know
a
monoculture
of
non-natives.
G
This
is
easy.
What
is
less
understood
is
that
restoration
is
we're
still
working,
even
if
it's
possible
very
hard,
very
expensive
best
is
not
to
disturb
in
the
first
place,
because
it's
lost
you've
lost
that
diversity.
G
I
also
thought
it
worth
mentioning
that
the
feral
or
cereal
rye,
actually
in
the
lower
foothills,
is
even
worse
than
cheatgrass,
as
well
as
being
highly
flammable.
But-
and
you
know,
that's
the
thing
that
really
needs
more
attention.
Although
I'd
like
to
point
out
a
possible
creative
solution
and
I'll
figure
out
how
to.
C
F
G
Gotta,
be
a
market
and
part
of
what
I've
been
finding
with
my
thing,
isn't
just
finding
all
the
exciting
new
you
know
overlooked
natives
and
saying:
oh,
here's
a
pretty
another
real,
pretty
flower,
but
also
taking
note
of
what
are
the
non-natives
that
there's
a
steady
rain
of
new
non-natives
and
some
of
them
are
have
invasive
potential.
G
The
hardy
pampas
grass
is
one
that
the
native
plant
society
has
targeted,
for
this
needs
to
no
longer
be
sold
it's
just
too
invasive
locally
patient
stock.
You
know
we
need
to.
It
looks
like
curly
dock
on
steroids
and
it's
spreading
like
crazy
along
the
green
belt,
dyer's
broom,
it's
still
small
enough
quantities,
it
could
be
eliminated
but
hasn't
been,
and
european
spindle
tree
is
starting
to
be
showing
up
all
over
the
place,
and
these
are
just
you
know.
G
I
choose
four,
because
that's
what
I
can
put
on
and
just
pointing
out
for
I've
got
instead
of
just
breaking
this
into
native
and
non-native.
These
are
the
number
of
plants.
I've
got
a
separate
category,
it's
a
subset
of
native
of
what's
the
sensitive,
and
this
isn't
just
the
ones
that
are
listed
rare,
but
things
that
are
just
going
to
be
in
a
few
places,
and
this
number
I
need
to
boost
up,
I
have
to
go
through
and
decide
which
other
things
locally
should
be
on
it.
G
G
I've
also
got
a
few
persisting
where
you
know
like
lilac
waves
are
okay,
I've
seen
a
few
plants,
are
they
going
to
persist
or
they're
going
to
just
going
to
blip
out
planted
category
is
a
separate
one
and
just
to
try
to
explain
it's
things
that
are
often
often
treated
as
native,
but
based
on
what
I
remember
being
present
when
I
was
growing
up
where
they're
growing
now
are
the
only
things
I've
found
planted
along
trails
or
in
areas
where
other
planning
or
other
things
aren't.
G
As
far
as
I
can
determine,
none
of
these
are
originally
native
to
the
boise
front.
Their
only
presence
here
is
because
they've
been
planted,
four
wing
shad
scale
popular
included
in
seed
mixes
silver
sagebrush.
I
see
in
plantings,
palmer's
penstemon
well
established
in
a
lot
of
places
native
to
the
south
of
us,
and
it
turns
out
what
we
think
of
as
the
lewis's
flax.
G
That's
common
in
seed
mixtures
is
actually
the
european
perennial
flax
and
it's
a
different
species,
even
from
the
one
that's
native
and
the
only
place
our
native
lion
luisia
grows
is
up
in
the
foot
conifer
zone,
okay
and
with
all
the
threats
going
on
you
know.
Basically,
the
flora
seems
under
siege,
which
is
why
I've
increasingly
tied
a
lot
of
my
work
to
activities
to
raid
public
awareness,
giving
talks
workshops
for
general
audiences
developed
a
series
of
glided
wildflower
walks.
G
We've
now
got
an
agreement
to
have
this
annually
at
the
idaho
botanical
garden
on
mother's
day,
and
I
hope
that
we
get
the
you
know
the
publicity
out
more
and
get
people
used
to
doing
this,
and
all
of
these
incorporate
a
boise
front,
101
interpretive
overview,
because
I'd
like
to
try
to
make
people
understand,
what's
special
about
our
place
and
get
them
to
appreciate
it.
Okay.
G
So
the
wildflower
walk
series
that
I
developed
several
years
ago
is
guided
one
to
three
hour
walks,
mostly
after
dinner,
mostly
about
two
to
three
miles
long
takes
when
you're
stopping
at
looking
things.
You
can't
do
long
walks,
you,
you
know
two
and
three
miles
is
about
what
you
can
do
with
plant
lists
to
hand
out,
and
they
were
selected
to
introduce
the
maximum
diversity
of
networthy
plants
and
habitat
types
throughout
the
boise
front
and
throughout
the
year,
and
they
include
not
just
the
wildflowers
but
natural
and
cultural
history.
G
So
the
complete
series
almost
function
as
a
boise
front,
101,
here's,
the
ab
that
was
in
spring
2019
that
got
cancelled
during
the
pandemic.
We
were
doing
these
through
the
foothills
learning
center.
I'm
still
kind
of
trying
to
get
the
publicity
working
on,
but
with
the
pandemic
I
started
working
on
converting
them
to
self-guided
versions.
G
Here's
the
full
list
that
we
were
doing
and
they
were
timed
again
so
that
you
could
have
them.
You
know
from
I'll
have
that
get
the
jump
on
spring
as
soon
as
buttercup
started
blooming
and
I
used
to
just
go
to
early
july,
I've
added
a
self-guided
one
for
schaefer
loop.
That
could
be
any
time
during
the
summer.
G
G
This
is
the
website
that
started
working
on
during
the
pandemic
me
working
on
the
content,
bob
cabell
and
paul
schaefer
is
the
ongoing
person
who's
actually
making
it
work,
and
so
here's
what
one
of
the
converted
self-guided
walks,
looks
like,
or
at
least
you
know,
kind
of
the
introduction
to
what
it
is
a
little
bit
description
I'll
give
the
list
of
what
plants
you
see
at
different
stretches
also
include
some
notes
that
I
you
know
like
I
said
I
try
to
get
the
whole
picture
of.
What's
going
on.
G
This
site
is
also
where
my
flora
is
rather
than
publishing
as
a
seeing
it
as
a
book
as
primary
thing.
I
figured
I'll
just
go
ahead
and
make
it
an
online
flora,
and
this
is
an
example
of
one
of
the
pages.
G
It's
not
necessarily
the
most
pretty
looking
yet
been
working
more
on
the
content
and
have
it
out
paul's
been
having
fun
with
this
part,
but
it's
the
latin
name,
a
common
name.
This
is
what
used
to
be
known
as
gray's
biscuit,
root,
long
story
there,
but
family,
it's
native.
It's
herbaceous.
We
can
add
the
flower
color
now
the
distribution
based
on
those
eight
categories
and
I'm
mostly
just
trying
to
get
the
stuff
that
you
can't
find
just
anywhere
and
instead
I'll
make
links
to
other
places.
G
If
you
want
to
find
out
more
about
this
plant
and
then
what
I
want
to
do
for
everything-
and
I've
just
done
this,
for
a
few
so
far
is
have
a
discussion
as
well
again
stuff,
that's
specific
to
the
boise
area.
In
this
case,
phragmites
is
interesting
because
it's
got
two
subspecies
australis,
which
is
considered
invasive,
but
the
native
subspecies
americana
isn't
and
so
trying
to
decide
which
one
we
have
it's
still
they're
hard
to
tell
apart.
G
I
think
we
only
have
americana,
so
we
don't
need
to
consider
it
invasive
paul's
also
put
together
this
lovely
search
page,
so
you
can
search
for
you
know
if
you
want
to
find
out
how
many
herbaceous
plants
with
orange
flowers
found
in
the
foothills.
You
know
you
can
do
these
various
kinds
of
queries.
G
Okay,
current
and
future
plans.
Future
possibilities
still
need
to
re
still
working
on
the
species.
As
I
said,
this
is
a
long
term.
Work
in
progress
add
more
photos,
discussion
at
front
matter,
so
you
know
history
geology,
I'd
love
to
recruit
additional
collaborators
to
expand
beyond
vascular
plants.
I
definitely
want
to
complete
the
wildflower
walk
conversion.
I'd
also
like
to
train
some
other
volunteers,
perhaps
master
naturalists,
to
get
reached,
see
them
picking
up
and
leading
the
walks
rather
than
me
being
the
only
one
to
do
it.
G
It
would
make
more
sense
for
me
to
train
others.
I
think
it'd
be
great
to
have
some
collaborators
to
develop
some
k-12
nature,
interpretive
models,
maybe
based
on
some
of
these
same
areas
and
also
definitely
want
to
develop,
expand
the
interactive
citizen
scientists
with
binaturalist.
I
consider
what
I'm
doing
kind
of
the
baseline
read.
You
know,
specialist
generated
foundation
that
can
then
be.
You
know,
supplemented
with
all
the
next
things.
G
Here's
an
idea
that
I
came
up
with
early
on
too
that
I'd
like
to
do
eventually
to
try
to
encourage
people
to
get
out
and
look
appreciate.
The
wildflowers
more
is
actually
put
points
on
each
one
and
set
up
competitions
just
so
you
can
come
up
with
the
most
points,
so
something
like
early
baltimore.
Everybody
can
do
that.
Ten
points,
idaho.
If
you
find
that
250
points,
non-natives
zero
points
guiding
principle.
This
is
me
with
my
grand
niece.
G
Our
future
is
on
this
planet's
opinion,
whether
we
can
transform
a
relationship
from
exploitation
to
stewardship
business,
as
usual
is
not
an
option
and
acknowledge
all
the
people
who
have
helped
allow
this
to
happen
and
so
happy
to
answer
any
questions,
and
thank
you
again
for
allowing
me
to
present
to
you.
C
C
C
G
News
yeah
now
that
we
tried
it
best
last
spring
and
it
seemed
to
have
worked
very
well
so
outdoor
space,
so
we
could
social
distance
more,
but
even
beyond
the
need
for
that,
I'm
still
a
little
bit
reluctant
to
offer
the
walk
series
myself.
G
I
just
feel
it
would
be
a
better
use
of
my
time.
You
know
I
could
leverage
my
you
know,
expertise
by
training,
other
people
to
lead
the
walks,
and
then
you
could
have
a
whole
bunch.
More
people
be
able
to
lead
the
walks,
because
you
know
it
was
less
than
10.
We
put
a
cap
of
20
on
and
most
of
them
never
seem
to
show
half
them
never
showed
up.
So
it
was
fun
to
do,
but
it
was
you
know.
G
So
if
you
guys
would
ever
like
to
go
out
on
one
of
these
walks,
that's
another
possibility
to
do
so.
That's
a
great.
C
G
Okay,
well,
I
will
leave
and
happy
to
answer
further
questions
by
email
and
other
stuff
too.
So,
thank
you
again.
Thank
you.
Barbara.
C
B
B
F
C
Science
and
again,
just
to
remind
you,
the
whole
purpose
here
is
to
make
sure
that
the
work
that
you
all
are
doing
to
evaluate
potential
funding
for
for
public
benefit
projects
is
informed
by
and
reflective
of
the
public
feedback
that
we're
getting
with
regard
to
this
work
and
the
public
feedback
that
we're
getting
with
regard
to
larger
and
different
effort
efforts
that
the
city
is
doing
that
they
were
right.
C
So
that
was
one
of
the
things
that
I
kept
coming
back
to,
and
I
think
the
group
kept
coming
back
to
in
our
discussions
at
the
subcommittee
level
was
yes,
there's
a
client
action
roadmap
and
it
does
have
some
goals
that
relate
to
the
work
that
we're
doing,
and
you
know,
there's
some
questions
on
whether
or
not
people
expected
when
they
voted
for
the
levy
to
have
climate
be
a
part
of
the
discussion,
and
you
know
I
think
our
thinking
at
the
end
of
the
day
is
these
plans
are
community
vetted
and
often
community,
driven.
C
Policy
makers,
so
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
at
least
addressing
these
different
goals
from
different
plans
that
relate
to
the
levy
in
our
analysis.
So
my.
B
C
Is
to
go
back
and
draft
up
new
conservation
criteria
that
has
been
informed
by
that
discussion
and
then
I
will
bring
that
back
to
the
subcommittee
for
revision
edit
further
discussion,
and
then
we
will
bring
it
to
the
full
committee
for
discussion.
And
hopefully
you
know
a
vote
on
whether
or
not
you're
comfortable.
C
Be
you
know,
the
expectation
we
would
put
on
applicants
would
be
to
address
things
like
you
know.
How
does
your
pathways
proposal
directly
relate
to
the
language
in
the
levy
that
says
you
know
it
can
be
used
for
enhanced
recreational
opportunities
and
trails
or,
for
example,
how
does
your
carbon
capture
or
your
you
know,
shrub
planting
project
improve
the
city's
efforts
to
sorry,
you
get
that
where
your
ear
starts.
Turning
it's
very.
C
Getting
applications
that
are
more
broad,
maybe
outside
of
what
we're
used
to
that
we're
still
tying
it
back
to
what
those
levy
funds
should
be
used
for,
and
I
think
ultimately,
it's
a
really
good
thing,
because
we
haven't
been
getting
a
lot
of
applications.
If
you
haven't.
B
C
C
If
you
haven't
had
a
chance
to
look
through
those
plans,
even
if
you're
not
doing
it
with
a
highlighter
and
a
fine-tooth.
Well,
please
do.
I
think
it
will
help
inform
our
discussions
moving
forward
and
help.
C
You
know,
efforts
across
the
city
are
sort
of
aligning
with
regard
to
conservation
and
environmental
improvement,
so.
B
C
E
Yeah,
I
think
just
that
it
is
going
to
take
some
open-mindedness.
I
guess
to
what
we've
traditionally
done.
I
thought
about
doing
this,
and
so
just
opening
up
the
opportunities
is
the
goal
of
the
subcommittee
right
to
get
the
money
out
the
door,
because
it's
not
going
out
the
door
and
it's
going
to
look
bad
if.
E
That
it's
just
sitting
there
collecting
no
interest,
and
you
know
hopefully
this
opportunities
will
be
some.
I
predict
that
there'll
be
probably
some
pushback
if
we
can
pull
some
of
these
projects
off,
although
they
meet
the
criteria,
that's
not
what
most
people
think
this
money
is
for,
and
especially
if
it's
a
project
that
could
arguably
be
used
for
general
funds
or
green
up
funds
from
a
park
or
something
like
that.
E
You
know
yeah,
it
could
be
used,
you
know,
but
we
don't
have
those
funds
available
now
and
don't
know
when
they
will
be
available.
So
let's
put
this
so
they
might
even
get
used.
That
does
follow
the
criteria
of
the
levy.
C
The
if
it's
all
right
with
you,
mr
sheriff,
so
the
pilot,
the
pilot
trail
management
program.
Our
survey
ended
last
week
last
wednesday.
A
week
ago
today
we
had
over
about
2500
responses.
F
C
C
Of
you
who
have
no
contacts,
that's
like
really
good
engagement.
When
we
do
other
city
surveys
they
don't
they
don't
get
that
much
engagement,
it's
very
hard
to
get
that,
so
our
users
are
passionate,
they're
engaged.
They
want
us
to
hear
their
voice
and
we
are
providing
them
with
opportunities
to
do
so.
So
we've
been
going
through
that
data
these
last
few
days
we
had
a
statistician,
look
at
the
raw
data
and
help
us
kind
of
look
under
the
hood
a
little
bit
like.
Yes,
you
have
this
percentage
of
support.
C
The
whole
goal
of
this
effort
to
try
and
change
management
strategies
on
certain
trails
has
been
led
by
the
public
driven
by
their
feedback,
and
we
did
our
best
to
make
a
transparent
and
accessible
process.
It
was
great
work
by
the
team
and
it
took
a
team
for
sure
so
long.
C
B
C
A
No,
mr
president,
just
that
it's
at
four
o'clock
ish
we'll
give
the
time
on
that
in
the
next
couple
of
days,
but
it
would
be
great
for
anyone
who
could
tune
in
to
get
an
update
on
that.
Sarah
will
be
providing
that
to
the
mayor
and
council
and
we'll
be
looking
for
either
affirmation
of
the
plan
being
adopted,
moving
forward
or
an
actual
potential
vote
by
the
council
to
adopt
the
plan
moving
forward
and
the
plan
is
what
we've
been
doing.
So
it's.
Basically,
it's
been
working
and.
E
A
Would
echo
what
superintendent
oracle
said
that
it
was
a
team
effort,
but
this
has
been
a
very,
very
thorough
engaging
process
and
you.
B
F
A
This
last
one,
and
then
we
monitored
in
between
feedback
weekly
from
our
users,
and
so
we've
used
all
that
to
create
this
database.
That
really
does
demonstrate
it
worked.
The
engagement
worked,
the
trial
pilot
worked,
and
so
we
believe
now
to
move
forward
with
what
we've
been
doing
to
continue
to
do.
A
That
and
there'll
be
some
alterations
with
the
poll
cal
loop
that
we'll
be
looking
at
doing
and
again
that
was
based
on
feedback
from
from
our
users,
but
overall
it
was
very
successful
and
so
so
we're
anxious
to
get
that
done
and
move
on
and
then
kind
of
see
what
our
next,
what
our
next
plans
are.
A
I
wanted
to
back
up.
Just
with.
I
really
appreciate
what
committee
member
raver
said
about
the
subcommittee
work
on
the
on
the
criteria.
Look
at
it
adjusting
the
criteria,
and
I
think
it's
important
that
we
continue
to
be
very
good
stewards
of
that
funding
of
that
levy
money.
A
But
I
think
the
point
to
be
made
is
we
do
need
to
figure
out
ways
to
get
more
this
money
out
into
projects
in
the
community,
and
so
I
think
your
work
as
a
subcommittee
on
looking
at
that
criteria
with
with
sarah
is
really
important
right
now,
so
that
we
can
broaden
the
scope
a
little
bit
and
it's
probably
not
gonna
change
a
lot.
A
But
I'm
hoping
there's
enough
of
a
tweak
that
we
can
create
some
more
interest
in
the
community
for
more
clean
water
opportunities,
because
I
know
the
council's
looking
at
that
fund
and
just
kind
of
wanting
us
to
to
get
it
into
the
community
and
so,
but
but
still
be
good
stewards
of
the
money.
We're
not
going
to
be.
You
know,
picking
projects
that
that
don't
fit
the
criteria,
obviously
or
that
we
can't
support,
and
we
feel
that
the
mayor
and
council
can't
support.
A
But
I
appreciate
committee
member
ravers
comments
that
this
is
a
good
move
to
try
to
see
if
we
can
enhance
some
of
the
opportunities
out
there
so
and
use
you
folks.
So
committee
members,
as
you
know,
people
in
the
community
that
might
have
projects
out
there-
let's,
let's
get
those
let's
get
applications
and
get
them
in
here.
So
if
you're
familiar
with
what
it
could
be
neighborhood
associations,
it
could
be
nonprofit
organizations
if
you're
familiar
with
anyone
that
that
is
even
thinking
about
doing
a
project.
A
You
believe,
would
qualify,
get
it
to
sarah
and
she
could
qualify
it
in
five
minutes,
whether
it
really
does
fit
the
criteria
and
if
it
does
walk
people
through
getting
that
organization
getting
an
application
in
to
us
so
that
we
can
get
some
of
this
money
out
in
the
community.
E
Yeah
I
do
at
one
time
we
talked
about
helping
fund
a
multi-city
analysis
of
the
clean
water,
clean
water
projects
that
can
benefit
the
boise
river.
Is
there
any?
Have
you
guys
thought
about
that
at
all?
Is
it
something
we
should
revisit.
C
Yes,
that
is
a
great
question
and
we
are
trying
to
drop
some
work
up
with
ada
county
as
our
upstream
neighbor,
because
they
have
a
lot
of
potential
in
the
larger
pools
area
and
actually
almost
had
a
complete
application
to
bring
to
you.
But
the
county
wasn't
ready
to
take
it
forward.
C
There's,
even
though
I
don't
always
have
applications
for
you,
there's
always
conversations
going
on
right
now
we
are
talking
with
the
city
of
cuna,
ada
county
and
a
number
of
other
stakeholders
fishing
game
to
put
together
an
improvement
project
concept
for
hubbard
reservoir,
although
that's
not
along
the
boise
river,
as
you
say,
but
it
is
trying
to
work
across
those
jurisdictional.
Boundaries
can
sometimes
be
a
little
challenging,
but
I
think
we're
gaining
headway
with
a
couple
of
these
projects.
Just
take
some
time.
B
E
E
C
The
core
of
engineers
put
together,
I
think,
five
years
ago,
a
stewardship
plan
for
the
boise
river
that
we're
still
utilizing
along
the
you
know
the
portions
that
the
city
manages
to
help
identify
and
manage
invasive
species.
C
C
E
B
Yeah,
I
was
you
know,
I'm
new
only
my
second
meeting,
but
I
just
wanted
to
ask.
If
historically
have
we
been
turning
down
very
many
applications
or
we
just
not
had
a
lot
of
interest.
It
sounds
like
this.
We
have
a
decent
amount
of
money
left,
which
is
great,
but
I
guess
I
was
just
wondering
if
people
have
been
you
know
not
as
excited
to
put
in
applications
because
people
have
been
turned
down
or
what
that
has
looked
like
in
the
past.
C
Since
then,
we've
seen
we've
gotten
one
to
three
applications
over
the
past
four
or
five
years
each
year,
and
I
think
we
have
moved
to
forward
the
wildlife
overpass
project
that
we
are
participating
in
between
here
in
iowa
city
and
then
the
golden
legal
autobahn
society
project
that
you
were
all
you
know
just
recently.
C
We
have
about
eight
million
dollars
left
and
I
think
you
know
we've
been
very
fortunate
in
having
been
able
to
acquire
property
at
good
rate.
You
know
good
values,
so
I
don't
want
there
to
be.
You
know
any
sort
of
perspective
that
we
have
been
idle
with
that
two.
G
C
You
know
hundreds
of
acres
have
been
protected
in
that
time
and
we
have,
you
know,
moved
moved
some
projects
forward,
but
it's
hard
to
meet
the
criteria
as
it's
written
and
you
have
to
have
projects
that
are
owned
on
land
that
is
either
owned
or
managed
by
a
public
agency.
B
C
C
F
C
F
A
E
On
our
website,
we
probably
ought
to
add
the
projects
that
have
been
acquired.
The
properties
have
been
acquired.
Oh
okay,
right
now,
if
you
look
on
our
website,
it
looks
like
we
have
one
stalled
project
and
one
forty
thousand
dollars.
C
E
D
I
have
one
if
you
don't
mind,
I
thought
about
this
other
project.
We
had,
it
was
boise
state
and
they
were
going
to
improve
the
river
area
with
boardwalks
and
stuff,
and
we
we
really
liked
that
project,
but
it
just
seemed
like
they.
They
weren't
really
prepared
in
their
application,
and
I
I
was
wondering
if
we
might
see
that
that
one
again
yeah
there
was
two.
B
C
C
A
D
C
This
update
of
the
criteria
is
very
timely,
not
only
because
we
have
you
know
newer
committee
members,
but
and
newer
policies
that
we
need
to
incorporate,
but
also
because
we're
start.
We,
you
know
we're
coming
out
of
this
this
weird
time
when
people
were
trying
to
teach
again
about
how
to
initiate
things.
F
F
F
A
Coming
in,
but
one
of
the
I'm
glad
you
brought
it
up
because,
mr
president,
commission
members
is
that
that
part
of
the
issues
we
were
having
with
esther
simplot
pond,
particularly
pond
one-
is
the
crane.
Creek
drainage
runs
adjacent
to
that
pond,
and
it
is
the
highest
e
coli
bacteria
infested
body
of
water
in
that
whole
area
and
our
public
works
team
is
pretty
convinced
that
that
has
a
has
had
a
dramatic
effect
on
esther
sin
plot
and
it
all-
and
it's
going
straight
to
the
river
and.
A
It's
gathering
runoff
from
like
20
different
areas
that
go
into
that
small
creek,
and
so
you
know
we
talked
about
when
we
were
talking
about
cottonwood
creek.
Is
that
potentially
a
project
that
could
come
forward
to
to
this
committee
to
look
at
putting
some
funding
in
to
clean
up
that
crane
creek
before
it
discharges
into
the
into
the
river?
And
so
we
haven't
talked
about
it
internally,
much
except
with
a
couple
of
our
public
works
teams.
A
So
it's
a
great
example,
though,
of
all
that
runoff
going
into
crane
creek,
which
I'm
again
not
an
expert
on
that
other
than
being
told
it's
like
20,
different
sources
of
all
kinds
of
really
bad
stuff
ending
up
in
there,
and
I
can
attest
to
the
fact
that
it's
the
highest
e
coli
water
source
we
have
in
that
area.
It
still
runs
through
my
backyard.
Doesn't
it.
A
Along
it's
picking
up
a
lot
of
mainly
runoff,
it's.
A
And
so
I
don't
think
you
know
when
they
put
that
when
they
creak
underground
a
lot
of
it.
Just
you
know
back
in
1900,
they
didn't
really
plan,
they
probably
dreamed
right
into
it.
Yeah.
I
think
that
there
is
opportunities
with
a
lot
of
drainages
and
I
don't
know
sorry,
I
don't
want
to
steal
in
that
restaurant
you
got
but
cottonwood
creek.
If
you
wanted
to
give
an
update.
Yes,
if
we
wanted
to
give
an
update
on
that's
part
of
your
update,
I
think
it's
timely.
A
C
Dead,
yes,
it's
that's
no
longer
moving
forward.
The
barriers
of
you
know
the
high
price
of
construction,
not
having
the
funding
to
do
it,
and
then
we
sort
of
found
out
very
recently
that
we
didn't
have
support
from
the
family
that
donated
the
park.
F
B
C
Stacked
on
top
of
each
other
problems
that
we
had
no
solutions
for,
and
neither
did
the
partners
so
unfortunately,
that
project
is
not
moving
forward.
We
do
have
you
know
the
construction
documents.
Should
our
partners
find
1.3
million
dollars.
A
And
a
design
the
design
wasn't,
was
a
problem.
It's
going
to
take
out
a
lot
of
trees
and
healthy
trees.
Large
you
know
100
year
plush,
trees
in
julia
davis
park,
and
so
and
and
in
the
end
it
I
think
the
way
it
was
characterized
is
the
the
cost
associated
didn't
provide
the
benefit
that
it
would
that
we
would
like
to
see
at
the
end
of
the
day.
A
It
would
only
have
water
in
it,
maybe
five
weeks
a
year
and
other
than
that
it'd
be
dry
and
so
and
there
was
no
guarantee
that
the
fish
habitat
would
actually
you
know,
be
enhanced
with
with
during
that
five
week
period.
So
there
were
a
lot
of
issues
that
we
that
we
couldn't
get
answers
for
and,
as
sarah
mentioned
and
the
family
just
wasn't
hip
on
the
design
when
it
finally
was
was
completed
by
the
engineering
firm
it
was,
it
was
large.
It
was
in
some
areas,
70
feet
wide.
F
C
A
Than
10
feet
deep
and
it
had
to
to
be
constructed
that
way,
because
at
the
runoff
peak
runoff
it's
200
cfs
that
would
come
through
the
canal,
so
you
had
to
build
it
like
that
concept.
A
church
parking
lot
for
easter
sunday,
you're
building
this
canal
to
handle
200,
cfs
and
then
the
rest
of
the
year
it's
empty,
and
so
they
couldn't
really
give
a
guarantee
that
even
spawning
activity
was
going
to
occur,
and
so
the
family
just
said.
A
A
C
And
I
think
that's
I've
made
some
put
some
feelers
out
this
week,
just
start
trying
to
start
some
conversations
related
to
it,
and
so
hopefully
you
know
hopefully
I'll
be
able
to
meet
with
some
of
our
public
works
team
and
see
what
opportunities
there
might
be.
But
in
answer
to
your
question
about
storm
water,
you
know
really.
C
So
I
don't
know
what
the
solution
will
be
for
green
creek
it'll
depend
on
kind
of
ownership
along
its
alignment,
and
you
know
what
we're
able
to
do
and
where
so,
just
moving
real
quick
on
to
a
couple
of
updates.
We
did
close
on
the
horizon
hills
property
on
monday
last
monday,
and
so
that's
very
exciting.
Congratulations.
C
B
C
Yes
and
the
timing
worked
out
such
that
you
know,
we.
C
Trails
in
there
that
are
not
protected
for
public
access.
The
pursley
family
generously
sold
this
property
to
us
at
a
significant
discount
so
that
we
could
start
to
build
relationships
with
neighboring
property
owners
go
through
the
planning
process.
If
any
of
those
properties
should
be
developed
to
start
to
formalize
public
access
connectivity
and
open
space
in
the
east.
C
Foothills
of
boise,
so
this
is
good
stuff
yeah
we
close
on
october
25th
and
finally,
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
hopkins
range
reserve.
So
I
think
I
told
you
last
time
we
met
the
construction
of
the
trail
had
begun
and
that
we
are
designing
the
trailhead
right
now.
C
C
So
without
any
additional
capital
funds,
which
there
is
none,
we
will
either
have
to
put
this
project
on
hold
or
find
alternative
funding
sources,
and
given
that
we
are
now
going
through
this
criteria,
you
know
enhanced
recreational
opportunities
and
trails
is
one
of
our
one
of
our.
You
know,
mission.
C
I
should
say
so
I
it
might
be
a
slightly
awkward,
but
I
am
going
to
be
bringing
that
to
you.
I
don't.
C
That's
one
that
will
be
coming
forth,
hopefully
in
the
next
month,
I'm
expecting
to
get
a
design
of
the
new
trailhead
in
the
next
two
weeks
and
our
trail
contractor
just
quit
because
he
doesn't
feel
like
he
can
complete
the
project
without
losing.
B
C
So
we're
gonna
have
to
go
out
to
bid,
so
I
will
tell
you
more,
as
I
learn
more,
I
think
that
was
it
on.
B
C
It's
bogus
basin
road
north
of
the
dry
creek
pull
out.
I
think
the
best
way
to
describe.
C
C
F
C
E
C
Old
homestead
site
for
the
hawkins
family
there
used
to
be
a
hunting
lodge.
Well,
it's
like
a
hunting
cabin
there
and
we
demolished
it
in
2019
and
so
there's
even
a
potential,
maybe
for
some
water
because
there's
a
well.
I
need
to
figure
out
if
it
is
still
producing.
You
know.
C
I
think,
ultimately,
the
design
for
the
trailhead
might
be
really
something.
B
C
C
Hawkins
loop
is
going
to
be
a
directional
trail
and
it'll
be
about
six
miles.
We
heard
so
much
feedback
through
this
pilot
management
program
that
that's
a
lot
for
most
people
and
not
everybody
wants
to
go
on
a
six
mile
hike
which
I
can
contest
to
because
I
have
a
nine-year-old.
C
C
Session
today
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions,
but
next
month
in
december
we
will
hopefully,
if
there's
time,
I'm
happy
to
bring
in
our
stormwater
folks,
and
we
can
talk
about
crane,
creek
and
some
opportunities
there.
