B
E
C
C
F
So
my
name
is
Jason
Miller
I'm,
a
landscape
architect
in
the
Park
Boise
Park
and
Rec
Department.
You
know
I'm
going
to
be
giving
some
I'm
here
today
to
provide
updates
to
our
projects,
including
our
ongoing
initiatives,
and
here
are
the
specific
items
that
I
would
like
to
discuss.
F
Wrapping
up
our
projects,
which
are
our
new
amenities
and
assets
to
be
added
to
the
park
portfolio
ongoing
projects,
our
various
projects,
our
team
is
actively
working
to
complete
kind
of
looking
ahead.
What's
on
the
draft
boards,
what's
on
pause,
looking
at
our
sustainability
initiatives,
as
well
as
our
design
and
development
team
restructuring,
those
are
my
topics
so
so
slide.
One
wrapping
up
the
projects
I
will
complete
in
FY
23.
F
F
F
The
next
project
is
cassia
Park,
which
is
a
major
r
m
funded
Park.
The
goal
is
to
provide
shade
structures
for
the
playground
amenities.
This
one
has
taken
some
time,
as
I
did
go
to
through
a
legal
process.
There
were
numerous
delays
in
implementing
the
project,
but
we're
excited
to
announce
that
the
shade
structures
are
in
place
and
the
residents
can
enjoy
them
this
upcoming
summer.
F
The
total
cost
of
this
project
was
sixty
thousand
dollars
and
it
was
it's
substantially
complete
and
it's
awaiting
final
Landscaping
foreign
projects
that
we're
working
on
right
now
is
the
Ann
Morrison
Park
fountain.
As
everyone
knows,
Ann
Morrison
is
one
of
the
most
highly
used
parks
in
the
city
of
Boise.
The
fountain
is
the
centerpiece
of
the
park.
It
was
outdated.
It
was
in
constant
need
of
maintenance.
F
F
A
few
fun
facts
about
the
fountain
is
that
the
fountain
will
have
69
active
Jets,
14
waterfalls
with
seating,
non-slip,
accessible,
rubber
surfacing.
It
took
over
248
conduits
and
over
10
miles
of
wiring
needed
to
build
the
fountain.
It
will
have
83
LED
lights
and
the
fountain
is
interactive
as
well
as
static
and
should
make
the
letters
a
m
with
a
show
sequence
included.
F
The
funding
is
from
a
combination
of
different
sources
and
the
skate
park.
The
city
is
receiving
a
donation
from
J.A
Catherine
Albertson
Foundation
to
build
the
one-of-a-kind
skate
park
for
the
community.
It
is
anticipated.
This
will
attract
users
from
the
entire
region.
To
this
skate
park.
The
splash
pad
is
also
being
installed.
The
final
amenities
on
the
master
plan
include
a
volleyball
court
will
be
installed
at
a
later
date.
The
total
cost
for
the
skate
park
is
one
million
dollars.
Splash
Pad
is
1.2
million
and
Memorial
Day
is
the
anticipated
completion
for
the
project.
F
So
Julia
Davis
Park
has
we've
been
adding
amenities
to
the
East
End
of
the
park.
This
was
done
through
a
combination
of
funding
sources.
It's
an
installation
of
a
new
restroom
and
shelter
at
Julie,
Davis
Park.
This
is
near
the
intersection
of
Myrtle
and
South
Broadway.
F
With
the
go
to
provide
service
to
that
area
of
the
park.
The
restroom
will
serve
the
tennis
courts,
the
cancer
survivor,
Memorial,
the
shelters,
the
large
play
field
and
the
Greenbelt
users.
Total
cost
is
1.2
million
and
the
schedule
completion.
It
will
be
open
later
this
spring
and
we're
already
taking
reservations
for
the
shelter
this
summer.
So.
F
So
bridge
and
Julie
Davis
Park,
located
at
the
entrance
of
the
park
along
River
Street
near
third
and
Myrtle,
is
currently
failing
in
need
of
replacement.
The
bridge
was
noted
to
have
significant
structural
issues
in
2022,
and
the
project
was
prioritized
due
to
the
ongoing
need
for
access
to
the
zoo
and
amenities
on
the
east
side
of
the
park.
It
serves
as
a
service
entrance
to
the
zoo
and
provides
access
to
the
bocce
ball
toddler,
playground
and
Tennis
Courts.
F
This
is
being
repaired
using
Capital
funds,
the
total
cost
of
700
000.
and
the
schedule
for
completion.
The
project
is
scheduled
to
start
right
after
tree
fort,
as
anticipated
to
be
complete
by
June.
Park
patrons
will
have
alternate
routes
during
construction
because
of
previously
improved
roadways
within
Julie,
Davis,
Park.
F
The
next
one
is
Hawkins
Ranch
Reserve
Trailhead.
This
one
was
funded
from
ridges
to
Rivers,
Heritage
funding
and
impact
fees.
The
total
cost
was
one
million
dollars.
The
trailhead
is
the
last
step
in
providing
the
public
access
to
Hawkins
range
Reserve.
There
are
400
Acres
of
open
space
and
critical
wildlife,
habitat
purchased
by
the
city
in
2016
and
2017..
F
The
trailhead
will
include
Ada
parking,
25
stalls,
restroom
horse
trailer
and
turn
around
on
the
schedule.
Completion
for
this
there
will
be
a
ribbon
cutting
schedule
for
May
4th
and
the
area
will
be
seasonally
closed
from
December
1st
to
April
30th,
with
a
dog
on
leash
requirement
from
May
1st
to
June
15th
for
Elk
calving.
F
At
Pine,
Grove
Park
we're
adding
some
amenities
to
the
park.
Pine
Grove
Park
is
located
on
Maple
Grove
between
Franklin
and
Overland.
The
park
will
include
two
new
shelters,
a
new
playground
and
surfacing
in
the
dog
park.
This
is
funded
with
impact
fees,
the
total
cost
is
1.7
million,
and
the
estimated
completion
is
spring
of
2023.
F
So
Veterans
Memorial,
Park
master
plan,
Boise,
Park
and
Recreation,
is
in
a
lease
agreement
with
Idaho
State,
Parks
and
Recreation,
which
requires
a
Master
Plan
update
in
2023.
We
started
this
process
in
January
with
holding
the
public
open
house
we
received
over
1300
responses
and
the
Master
Plan
update
will
be
presented
to
the
Commission
in
the
in
May.
The
Master
Plan
update
will
include
a
new
amenity
in
the
park
survey.
Results
included,
strong
support
for
a
nature,
playground,
Shada,
Plaza
and
disc
golf.
F
Numerous
security
and
safety
concerns
were
identified
in
the
survey
as
well,
and
a
portion
of
the
new
amenity
funding
is
planned
to
be
allocated
to
address
safety
within
the
park.
This
is
going
to
be
paid
for
with
impact
fees
and
there's
660
000
for
a
future
amenity.
F
F
It's
currently
at
90
construction
documents
pending
achd
approval
and
the
total
cost
is
700
000
funded
by
the
capital
fund.
It's
anticipated
construction
is
2023
summer
2023.,
so
Goddard
Park
is
located
north
of
Capitol
High
along
Goddard
Road
between
Maple
Grove
and
Glenwood
Street,
it's
south
of
settlers
canal,
and
it
will
serve
the
pathway,
connection
between
Hidden
Lakes
reserve
and
the
future
Spaulding
Ranch.
F
The
project
includes
a
10
foot,
wide
multi-use,
Trail,
shade,
Pavilion,
pollinator
Garden
native
plant
garden
and
sensory
garden.
That's
anticipated
construction
is
late
summer
2023.
This
was
an
energized
project
that
was
brought
forward
by
The
Neighborhood
Eagle
Rock
Park
pickleball
courts
is
also
being
completed.
This
summer,
Spalding
Ranch,
located
at
Cole,
Road
and
Goddard,
we're
anticipating
a
construction
late
summer,
early
fall
for
a
new
roadway
through
the
northeast
corner
of
the
park
kind
of
like
connecting
Glenwood
with
coal
and
then
the
Boise
Whitewater
Park.
F
So
looking
at
looking
ahead
projects
that
will
occur
in
fy24,
we
have
the
mausoleum
where
repairs
to
the
building
uncovered
significant
roof
damage
and
replacement
was
needed.
The
repairs
will
provide
a
safe
and
improved
Mausoleum
for
visitors.
The
cost
is
268
000..
The
Hawaii
parking
lot
part
of
the
Hawaii
Park
is
a
five
acre
neighborhood
park
on
the
bench
near
Vista
and
I-84.
F
F
Esther
Simplot
floodplain
improvements
or
is
work
that
is
ongoing,
we're
partnering
with
Public
Works
to
provide
enhancements
that
are
needed
to
meet
FEMA
requirements,
and
then
we
have
Julie
Davis
Rose
Garden,
which
is
fundraising
stage.
It's
in
the
fundraising
stage
by
an
outside
consultant
Ann
Morrison
Park.
We
have
the
park
Clock
Tower
with
the
Harry
W
Morrison
Foundation
has
proposed
to
relocate,
enhance
the
clock
tower
in
Ann
Morrison
Park.
F
521
Grove
CCDC
is
developing
a
park
at
6th
and
Grove
to
be
donated
to
Boise
Parks.
An
open
house
is
scheduled
for
early
April,
with
three
concepts
being
presented
to
the
public
from
the
design
team.
Willow
Lane,
the
Rotary
Club
is
developing
a
design
for
a
pathway
in
Memorial
Park
amenity
at
Willow
Lane.
The
Rotary
will
pay
for
design
and
construction
of
that
and
donate
and
donate
to
the
city.
F
So
projects
that
are
currently
on
pause
include
South
and
Lowell
pool
considerations.
We
agreed
to
postpone
the
pool
projects
until
funding
sources
identified,
and
then
we
have
the
goal
for
the
improvements
to
the
Whitewater
Park
phase.
One.
The
goal
is
to
update
phase
two
to
create
a
low
Hazard
stable
wave
for
year-round
Recreation
then
proceed
to
The
Phase
One
updates,
so
they
kind
of
work
together
in
order
for
the
hydraulic
model
to
work
out.
So.
F
As
far
as
Department
initiatives,
we
have
three
three
initiatives
that
we're
working
on
ongoing.
We
have
America
the
Beautiful.
The
slide
shows
that
you
know
what
our
goal
is
to
conserve:
30
percent
of
the
land
and
water
by
2030
in
2022.
These
are
some
of
the
highlights.
We
added
1.6
percent
to
our
open
space,
bringing
into
19.6
we
added
set
1.7
to
the
park,
site
management,
bringing
it
to
16.7
and
we
funded
two
open
space,
Improvement
projects,
two
Trail
accessibility,
improvements
in
Hawkins
range,
Reserve,
Trail
and
trailhead.
F
The
city
of
trees
is
kind
of
our
second
initiative
that
we're
have
working
within
our
department
in
which
we
partner
with
the
Treasure
Valley
tree
canopy
and
The
Nature
Conservancy
of
Idaho.
The
goal
of
One
Tree
for
every
household,
which
is
a
hundred
thousand
trees,
is
currently
at
fifteen
thousand,
and
we
expect
to
continue
to
see
that
number
increase
throughout
the
year.
We
also
anticipate
that
we'll
be
achieving
the
second
goal
of
sponsoring
one
seedling
for
every
person
in
the
city,
235,
000
trees
and
we're
currently
at
149.
F
Yep,
the
tree
assessment
is
being
updated
this
year.
The
tree
canopy
assessment
is
the
key
to
identifying
locations
for
where
and
how
to
plant
trees.
You
know
our
10
year
old
assessment
shows
16
canopy
with
our
Target
of
30,
so
we're
hoping
our
numbers
we'll
project
better
than
that
when
they
come
back
in
the
Boise
tree,
captains
will
continue
and
be
the
most
direct
way
for
citizens
to
obtain
trees
through
for
the
community.
The
coupon
program
will
remain
as
well
with
our
partner
nurseries
of
zamzow,
Edwards
and
transwitty
this
year.
F
There's
the
first
year,
the
outside
funding
will
match
the
internal
funding
with
two
key
grants
and
events
that
are
planned.
There's
35
000
for
the
Arbor
Day
planting
at
Lowell,
Scott,
Middle,
School
across
McDevitt,
and
then
there's
also
15
000
allocated
for
10
Park
sites
to
receive
trees.
This
fall.
F
F
F
Once
a
10-minute
walk,
Gap
has
identified
areas
are
prioritized
based
on
the
six
equally
weighted
factors
which
are
population
density,
density
of
low-income
households,
density
of
people
of
color,
air
pollution,
respiratory
Hazard,
Urban
heat
Islands,
mental
and
physical
health,
and
so
our
team
has
been
working
to
identify
these
areas
of
the
like
three
prod.
Three
projects
have
developed
from
from
this
plan,
which
include
Primrose,
Park,
the
linear,
Park
and
pathway
at
Goddard,
as
well
as
our
newest
Park,
which
is
Shamrock
Park.
So
those
are
all
items
that
have
come
from
this
initiative.
F
Final
thing
is
just
our
design
and
development
restructuring
that
we're
doing
in
our
parks.
Department,
Sarah
Urkel,
has
kind
of
taken
the
initiative
on
this
to
create
a
new
structure
for
our
team.
Previously
there
were
three
Las
that
were
working
as
an
individual
project
managers
and
the
new
team
will
be
more
agile
and
adaptable
and
able
to
deliver
projects
to
the
community
in
a
timely
manner,
as
well
as
reduce
project
costs,
and
so
we're
excited
about
that.
It
includes
a
construction
lead
to
kind
of
handle.
F
The
day-to-day
construction
coordination,
piece
of
site
visits,
change,
requests,
Etc,
an
LA
designer
focused
on
design
and
production,
and
then
a
design
and
development
project
manager
will
serve
to
coordinate
the
team
with
kind
of
planning,
GIS
and
design
to
improve
quality
control
and
kind
of
Define.
The
workload
for
the
team
and
I
just
want
to
say,
given
all
the
work
that's
going
on,
I
want
to
thank
our
team
for
their
efforts
and
for
the
things
that
they're
doing
to
keep
all
of
these
moving
forward.
F
That
includes
Sarah
Oracle,
for
kind
of
setting
the
Course
Eden
begliner
for
coordinating
the
team,
Trevor
Kessner
for
his
planning
efforts,
Dan
Falconer
for
kind
of
overseeing
the
implementation
and
Jeff
and
Stacy
for
their
GIS
and
support
throughout
the
process.
We
thought
I
would
like
to
open
it
up
for
questions.
B
Commission
members,
thank
you
Jason,
and
we
went
through
it
really
quick
because
we
need
to
keep
moving
because
there's
I
think
there's
a
certain
basketball
game
or
something
happening
that
I'm
told
we
got
to
really
keep
this
moving.
So
I
appreciate
Jason.
He
would
have
taken
a
lot
more
time,
I
think
on
some
of
the
project,
but
I
just
want
to
outline
I
hope.
B
The
commission
recognizes
the
work
that
the
department
is
going
through
on
projects
that
we're
going
to
be
finishing
up,
projects
that
were
that
were
excited
about
coming
down
the
line.
One
of
the
things
that
Jason
went
over
real
quick
was
that
last
slide
on
the
restructuring.
B
We
really
felt
like
we
need
to
do
something
different
with
our
Landscape
Architects
and
with
our
design
and
development
team.
So
we
had
three
Landscape
Architects
that
reported
into
the
park
Division,
and
they
wore
all
the
hats.
They
did
the
design
they
put
together
the
bid
documents
they
put
it
out
on
the
street.
They
would
get
the
bid
back
and
then
they
would
manage
the
actual
construction
out
in
the
field
and
it's
hard
to
do
all
of
those
things
at
once.
B
When
here
comes
another
project
down
the
line,
we
need
you
back
in
the
office
work
on
the
design
piece
on
that
and
then
here's
another
one.
These
you
know
bid
docs
need
to
be
put
together
and
so
Sarah
arkel,
our
superintendent
of
parks,
came
up
with
a
plan
that
is
going
to
work
perfectly
for
us
and
the
first
move
we
did
is
first
off
our
three
Landscape
Architects.
Ironically,
all
got
jobs
in
the
private
sector,
all
within
about
six
months
of
each
other,
and
so
one
left
and
then
Sarah
started
thinking.
B
How
are
we
going
to
restructure
this
and
then
the
second
left,
and
then
we're
like
okay?
Now
we
do
need
to
do
something
a
little
bit
different
and
then
we
lost
our
third
and
at
the
same
time
we
hired
Jason.
So
Jason
is
the
lone
landscape,
architect,
out
of
three
that
we
used
to
have
doing
all
the
work,
but
what
we
did
is
rather
than
make
Jason
put
a
hat
on
and
go
out
into
the
field
and
actually
manage
what
our
contractors
are
doing.
B
That's
where
we
hired
someone
who
has
that
expertise
that
that's
all
he
does
and
it's
Dan
Falconer,
who
is
already
part
of
our
team
and
his
job
is
just
to
make
sure
it's
getting
done
and
getting
done
right.
So
he
is
running
heard
on
all
of
our
contractors
out
in
the
field.
So
all
the
projects
you
see
going
on
Dan's
going
from
Project
to
project
to
make
sure
that
it's
getting
done
so
our
landscape
folks
can
be
strategic.
They
can
be
Innovative.
B
They
can
spend
more
time
looking
at
design
cool
things
that
we
want
to
see
in
designs
in
the
future
and
not
have
to
worry
about
all
the
other
hats
that
they
have
to
wear
the
third
position
that
will
fill
those
three
Landscapes.
So
we
filled
to
one
with
an
outside
construction,
our
Dan
Falconer,
being
our
our
on-site
construction
manager,
jasonfield
won
as
a
landscape.
Architect
and
in
the
third
position
is
going
to
be
a
manager
that
will
oversee
all
of
the
functions
in
that
in
that
group
which
we've
never
had
previously.
B
So
they
will
oversee
the
gis
piece,
the
design
piece
and
then
the
outside
construction
piece.
So
we're
looking
for
a
unique
individual
that
has
good
strong
project
management
background.
They
may
or
may
not
be
a
landscape
architect.
They
may
be
have
strong
project
manager,
Construction,
project
manager,
experience
we're
just
kind
of
looking
for
that
unicorn
that
can
oversee
the
entire
division
that
we
have
there
now,
and
so
we're
really
excited
about
what
already
is
happening
and
I
gotta
say:
Jason,
you
have
done
a
fantastic
job.
B
It
I
his
productivity
is
efficiency,
his
creativity
and
and
I
don't
want
to
take
anything
away
from
the
previous
Landscape
Architects
we've
had,
but
sometimes
when
you
get
it's
like
a
coach,
a
new
coach
comes
in.
B
They
have
a
whole
different
view
of
how
things
could
be
done
and
should
be
done
and
all
of
a
sudden
you're
winning
games
and
maybe
winning
more
games
and
that's
the
way
I
feel
when
we
hire
Jason
is
he
just
came
in
and-
and
he
just
has
a
different
View
and
it's
a
really
good
view,
and
so
we're
real
excited
about
the
work
that
he's
doing
with
us
and
we
stole
him
from
a
private
company.
B
So
we
lost
three
two
private
and
then
we
went
out
and
got
somebody
from
private,
yes,
right
and
and
Jason
actually
was
one
of
our
companies.
We've
done.
A
lot
of
work
with
was
was
gglo,
which
has
done
a
ton
of
work
for
Parks
and
Recreation
and
for
the
city
in
general,
and
he
was
a
landscape
architect
with
that
organization,
and
we
we
got
him
and
so
we're
real
excited
about
that.
F
B
Part
we're
we're
really
it's
going
to
allow
us
to
be
better
at
what
we
do
and
in
our
project
management
and
in
in
really
executing
the
work
that
that
we're
doing-
and
you
see,
we've
got
a
lot
of
stuff
going
on
we're
trying
to
be
very
judicious
in
adding
a
lot
of
a
lot
more
things.
B
So
the
stuff
you
see
going
on
there
is
plenty
to
to
keep
us
busy
for
the
next
all
the
way
through
24
and
then
we'll
look
at
what
what's
coming
down
the
line
in
25
and
26..
So
nice
work,
Jason
and
then
so
Madam
president
I,
would
I
think
Jason
would
stand
for
any
questions.
If
anybody.
C
Well,
I
would
just
like
to
say
thank
you,
because
the
work
is
amazing.
I
I,
head
up
the
Boise
sofu
festival
at
Junior,
Davis
Park
and
we're
just
excited
super
excited
for
the
work
that's
being
done
in
Julia,
Davis
Park,
that's
our
home,
where
we
plan
to
stay.
So.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
work
that
you're
doing.
Thank
you.
D
I
would
say:
I
would,
second,
that
one
of
the
things
that
I
was
sworn
to
when
I
came
on
the
commission
was
making
sure
anytime.
We
do
a
new
park
that
we
can
try
to
have
like
a
water
feature
for
kids,
to
interact
with
right.
So
I
really
love
the
design
with
molinar,
there's
so
much
to
love
in
all
of
the
stuff
that
you
presented
today.
But
that's
just
one
particular
piece
for
me
that
you
know
kind
of
on
that
end
of
town
too,
on
the
the
South.
F
E
D
So
that's
a
really
cool
feature
so
keep
up
the
good
work
and
all
of
it,
but
you
know
be
in
the
the
architect
guy
keeping
the
focus
on
some
of
those
water
features
is
really
great
for
our
kids.
So
thanks
for
doing
that,.
G
Madam,
chair
I'm
glad
that
you're
putting
the
pressure
on
the
water
features
because
I
think
I
think
sometimes
when
the
city,
staff
and
Doug
sees
them
come
up
they're
like
woo.
This
is
great.
Another
water
feature
that
we
got
to
figure
out,
how
to
run
10
miles
of
wiring
to
and
all
the
lights
and
everything
else
that
goes
with
it.
G
I
just
want
to
say
thanks
for
the
presentation,
I
think
it's
it's
so
cool
and
whenever
I
see
something
like
this,
like
that's
a
cool
project,
that's
a
cool
project
and
then
it
starts
to
add
up
and
you're
like
holy
crap.
This
is
a
lot
of
you
know,
really
cool
things
and
I.
G
Think
it
makes
me
think
about
how
rad
it
would
be
to
be
working
in
the
parks
department
to
have
your
thumb
print
on
so
many
things
that
mean
so
much
to
so
many
folks
in
the
community,
but
to
all
of
you
all
as
well,
who
don't
actually
get
paid
to
to
be
here.
I
hope
that
you
can
see
your
thumbprint
on
the
well
as
well.
G
A
Madam
chair
speaking
of
working
for
free,
brings
the
question
up
of
funding
Doug
or
Jason.
Can
you
give
us
some
idea
of
how
future
funding
looks?
Are
we
going
to
be
doing
well
and
be
able
to
do
more
projects,
or
are
we
having
to
cut
back.
B
Madam
president,
commission
members,
all
of
our
Capital
plan,
is
built
upon
impact
fees,
so
any
new
projects,
so
the
the
so
there's
really
three
buckets
of
money.
We
have
an
equivalent
bucket
of
money.
We
have
a
major
repair
and
maintenance
bucket
of
money.
That's
a
general
fund
money
that
comes
as
an
allocation
from
the
city
that
we
can
use
to
maintain
what
we
have
and
replace
what
we
have
and
then
the
third
bucket
is
the
capital
piece
where
we
build
new
things
and
that
is
99
driven
by
impact
fees.
B
So
the
concept
is
obviously
growth
pays
for
itself,
and
so,
as
impact
fees
are
collected
in
the
different
regions,
the
different
planning
areas
of
the
city.
We
have
access
to
that
to
that
to
make
plans
on
what
we're
going
to
do
with
that
in
those
different
planning
areas.
So
we
do
have
a
capital
plan
that
takes
us
out
and
we
we're
happy
to
bring
that
to
the
commission
for
your
review.
B
So
you
can
see
some
of
the
things
we're
planning
over
the
next
year
know
five
years,
for
example,
but
we
do
have
plans
over
the
next
five
years,
but
it
is
based
upon
forecast
and
projections
on
what
we
plan
on
collecting
from
those
different
planning
areas
to
be
able
to
have
the
funding
to
to
to
do
some
things
so
give
an
example.
B
In
our
24
plan
we
have
a
Master
Plan
update
for
McDevitt
Youth,
Sports
Complex,
which
is
out
at
Eagle
Road
and
McMillan,
and
we'll
work
with
the
neighborhood
on
what
that
plan
will
look
like,
but
we
have
about
1.2
million
in
that
account,
so
we
will
work
with
the
neighborhood
to
master
plan.
B
But
if
you
want
Sports
Fields
a
little
bit
less
expensive
to
Green
up
the
space
as
opposed
to
add
the
amenities
in
so
that
gives
an
example
of
kind
of
what
how
it
works
so,
but
we're
contingent.
We
also
could
get
general
fund
money,
and
that
is
so.
The
splash
pad
at
molinar
now
is
being
paid
for
by
city
funding
that
that
the
city
actually
allocated
the
council
allocated
money
to
get
that
done
and.
B
So
the
skate
park
at
molinars
being
funded
by
the
J.A
and
Catherine
Albertson,
Family
Foundation
to
the
tune
of
a
million
dollars,
and
that
was
in
the
master
plan
to
do
that.
Someday
someday
probably
was
going
to
be
a
long
ways
down
the
road
to
do
that.
So
the
fact
that
we
got
that
donation
get
that
speeded
up
a
little
bit
as
well,
so
hope
that
answers
your
question
that
we
have
a
plan
and
we
have
a
matching
funding
in
Impact
fees.
B
And
if
we
don't
have
that-
and
we
still
want
to
execute
some
of
those
things
in
the
plan,
then
we
would
be
required
to
go
back
to
the
city
and
say
we're
going
to
need
council
member
Hallie
Burton
we're
going
to
need
funding
to
close
the
gap.
If
we
want
to
do
do
something,
but
it's
not
uncommon
for
the
council
to
come
to
us
and
say
where's
this
at
we
don't
have
the
funding
to
do
it.
B
Well,
maybe
we'll
provide
that
then
to
do
that,
but
I
I
really
like
the
idea
of
growth
paying
for
itself,
and
so
impact
fees
are
pretty
important
to
our
development.
A
B
Correct
Madam
president
commission
members,
there
have
been
occasions
where
we
have
borrowed
against
impact
fees
to
get
something
done
sooner
and
then,
as
those
fees
come
in,
then
it
replenishes
that
account
that's
just
taken
money
from
the
general
fund,
loaning
it
to
ourselves.
While
we're
waiting
for
the
impact
fees
to
be
reimbursed
through
that.
B
D
B
It
cannot
be
a
great
word
for
a
lot
of
people.
Growth
helps
us
in
Parks
and
Recreation,
because
growth
contributes
to
impact
fees
which
allows
us
to
build
literally
I
believe
within
the
last
five
years
we've
spent
somewhere
in
the
neighborhood
of
11
to
13
million
on
new
projects.
All
came
from,
Impact
fees
didn't
come
from
the
general
fund
and
those
were
generated
by
new
construction,
so
we're
a
great
example
of
how
growth
can
really
work
in
a
community.
B
If
it's
done
the
right
way
and
if
we
plan
it
the
right
way
to
actually
provide
amenities
that
are
needed
to
keep
up
with
that
growth
as
well.
E
Madam
president
and
Commissioners
quick
question:
first
of
all,
thank
you.
I
mean
this
is
all
amazing.
Thank
you
very
much.
It's
it's
just
wonderful
to
see.
What's
going
on
in
Boise
the
Parks
and
Rec
Department
America
is
a
beautiful
initiative.
I'm
wondering
you
know,
speaking
of
funding
and
all
that
sort
of
thing
is
there
and
I
apologize,
I'm
still
kind
of
new?
Is
there
a
strategy
for
building
out?
You
know,
because
the
I
think
it
was
the
open
space.
There
was
another
bar
that
showed
it
pretty
far
back.
E
B
The
the
short
answer
is
yes,
we
are
looking
at
every
project
and
Jason
could
even
jump
in
wherever
we're
doing
design
work.
We
have
an
eye
to
that
on
how
we
can
Implement
different
types
of
amenities
in
our
in
our
Park
design.
That
will
contribute
to
that
30
goal
and
we're
making
great
progress.
B
The
mayor
and
I
did
a
presentation
yesterday
up
at
the
Foothills
Learning
Center,
and
we
both
got
an
opportunity
to
talk
quite
a
bit
about
the
America,
the
Beautiful
initiative,
which
is
a
mayoral
driven
initiative
in
our
department
and
we're
we're
adding
one
and
two
percent
every
year,
and
we
already
were
in
that
13
to
14..
So
now
we're
we're
somewhere
in
that
16
to
17
percent
range
and
so
by
2030.
