So
this
is
a
proposed
amendment
to
the
master
plan
for
ivy
wild
park.
Ivy
wild
park
is
located
in
boise.
We
were
approached
by
the
skate
association
and
the
southeast
neighborhood
association
to
gauge
interest
in
locating
a
skate
spot,
which
we
have
started
to
locate
in
neighborhood
and
community
parks
across
the
city.
Bowler
is
our
most
recent
example,
but
this
provides
kind
of
a
drop-in
skating
function
for
residents
nearby
the
park.
It's
not
the
full
skate
experience
like
you
would
get
at
roads
or
at
fort
boise.
F
It
is
a
place
for
some
of
our
younger
users
to
begin
to
hone
their
skills
in
the
sport,
so
we
sent
out
postcards
to
residents
within
one
mile
of
the
site
and
our
original
proposal
had
the
skate
park
being
located
just
adjacent
to
leadville.
You
can
see
it
up
here
on
the
map.
We
did
receive
quite
a
few
comments
in
support
of
it.
We
did
get
about
600
responses,
of
which
80
percent
did
support,
locating
it
in
the
park,
the
20
that
we
heard
from
that
were
opposed
to.
F
F
It
also
impacts
less
of
the
landscape
and
it
doesn't
impact
any
trees
in
this
location.
I
mean
we
heard
from
residents
that
was
really
important,
that
we
do
look
at
preservation
of
trees
as
part
of
locating
this,
so
we
sent
the
postcard
back
out
and
then
we
got
a
lower
response,
but
I
think
we
got
20
emails
and
I
think
we
had
two
that
were
opposed
to
it
and
the
stated
reason
for
being
opposed
to
it
was
because
of
the
the
location
next
to
the
walking
path
in
ivy
wild.
F
A
lot
of
people
use
that
as
a
loop
as
an
exercise
loop,
so
the
location
is
separated
from
the
path
by
a
few
trees
and
a
little
bit
of
a
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
buffer
there.
We
don't
have
a
final
design
on
this
yet
because
we
are
still
in
the
early
stages
and
the
boise
state
association
in
partnership
with
the
southeast
neighborhood
association,
are
looking
at
doing
a
neighborhood
reinvestment
grant
for
the
project.
F
G
F
G
G
The
previous
location,
and
so
I
think
the
current
location
is
much
better
and-
and
you
know,
people
walking
by
can
listen
to
the
skateboards
smack
on
the
ground,
while
they're
walking
by,
but
it's
not
gonna
disrupt
them
for
too
long,
and
so
I
do
like
the
location
much
better,
and
I
mean,
if
you
needed
to
make
it
even
bigger.
I
wouldn't
see
why
you
couldn't
bulb
out
the
sidewalk
a
little
bit
to
make
more
room.
F
H
F
I
F
Know
serene
type
area,
and
so
I
could
see
there
being
some
potential
use
conflict.
That
being
said
during
the
day,
you
know
the
skate
area
probably
won't
get
that
much
use.
So
we're
definitely
looking
at
an
opposite
hours
kind
of
use,
pattern
that
we
would
see.
So
I
would
anticipate
us
seeing
a
lot
of
skaters
in
the
afternoon
and
evening
hours,
and
then
we
get
a
lot
of
daytime
walkers
in
this
park.
A
All
right,
I
think
at
this
time
we'll
go
ahead
and
open
the
public
hearing.
Those
wishing
to
testify
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
begin
with
the
people
who
are
present
here.
Each
participant
will
be
allowed
three
minutes
to
speak
if
you're,
a
representative
of
a
neighborhood
association
or
other
organization.
Please
state
that
if
you
are
the
sole
representative
for
the
organization,
you'll
be
given
10
minutes
to
speak
when
called
to
testify.
J
A
J
Thank
you.
Okay,
tony
todorica
address
is
2241
colorado,
I'm
actually
very
close
to
the
original
site.
It's
still
within
75
yards
of
my
home
again,
very
opposed
to
the
noise
and
the
the
traffic
that
will
be
coming
here.
The
the
the
element,
the
people
that
work
will
be
coming
there
and
I
don't
suspect
that
that
the
borders
will
will
go
home
at
sunset
it
because
of
lights
and
their
friends
there.
J
I
don't
see
why
they
would
be
going
home
at
a
particular
time,
they're
going
to
be
there
into
the
night,
I
foresee
them
bringing
their
music
to
the
place.
We
mentioned
a
clash
of
potential
clashes
between
the
path.
The
path
is
right
is
right.
Next
to
the
the
border,
so
people
it's
a
very
popular
dog
park,
so
that
they're
going
to
be
right
up
next
to
each
other
there.
I
it
also
occurs
to
me
that
we
have
a
tremendous.
J
J
That's
slapping
sound!
Oh,
I
think
we
know
what
that
is.
That's
not
pleasant!
There's
such
a
thing
in
the
real
estate,
the
quiet
enjoyment
of
our
property,
and
so
that's
not
the
sound
that
I
want
to
hear
that
that
slapping
of
the
skateboards
there
and
I
think
the
police
are
going
to
have
to
come
out
and
enforce
that
sunset
thing.
It'll
be
just
another
trip
for
them.
J
E
E
First
of
all,
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
taking
time
to
hear
us
and
kind
of
give
a
little
background
on
the
on
the
skate
spots
and
dots.
They
really
are
meant
to
just
kind
of
create
outlets
for
kids
in
local
neighborhoods.
These
you
typically
are
not
destinations
for
a
lot
of
skateboarders
to
travel
to.
There
are
bigger
facilities
that
that
can
happen
to,
but
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
create
open
spaces
and
activities
for
kids
in
these
parks.
E
E
What
we
find
is
that
these
kids
really
need
an
outlet
and
when
a
lot
of
our
park
systems
they,
when
kids
get
to
a
certain
age,
we
find
that
the
facilities,
don't
necessarily
have
all
the
amenities
that
keep
them
engaged
in
those
spaces,
and
we
want
to
keep
them
outside
and
doing
activities
rather
than
just
being
inside
and
on
their
computers.
So
anything
we
can
do
to
to
to
encourage
these
kids
that
ultimately
become
friends
with
people
that
they
probably
would
never
understand
or
be
friends
with
you
find
a
common
bond
and
skateboarding.
E
It's
not
easy.
It
creates
a
there's,
a
lot
of
failures
that
are
involved,
but
it
teaches
you
how
to
overcome
those
failures
and
there's
a
lot
of
good
qualities
that
come
from
it
being
a
professional
business
owner.
I
know
that
throughout
my
life,
skateboarding
has
continuously
kept
me,
creative
and
looking
at
things
from
different
perspectives
and
trying
to
understand
a
broader
picture,
and
so
we
do
have
goals
that
we'd
like
to
see
more
skate
facilities
throughout
the
the
city,
the
for
the
most
part,
we're
kind
of
under
represented
in
in
our
park
system.
E
And
if
you
look
at
a
lot
of
the
usage
that
goes
on
in
at
the
skate
facilities
that
we
have
they're
very
well
used,
and
so
we
want
to
be
able
to
give
that
opportunity
for
all
these
kids
in
these
neighborhoods
and
and
adults
alike,
and
also
it's
it's
not
just
features
that
are
going
to
cater
to
skateboarders
alone,
whether
it's
scooters
or
bikes
a
lot
of
these
little
small.
They
call
them
kind
of
skate
spots
or
dots
tend
to
just
kind
of
try
and
fit
in
with
the
environment.
E
E
K
Hello,
my
name
is
laurie
wright,
that's
very
loud,
madam
president
and
commission
thanks
for
having
us
here.
I
am
a
longtime
boise
business
owner,
I'm
also
I
was.
I
had
a
skate
shop
and
snowboard
shop
for
a
long
time,
since
retired
semi,
retired
still
on
the
boise
skateboard
association
board
of
directors.
K
We're
looking
at
kids
that
are
in
about
a
mile
of
that
that
can
skate
or
scooter
or
bicycle
to
this
spot
and
I
sure
see
a
lot
of
kids,
scootering
and
biking
and
skateboarding,
and
we
want
the
neighbors
to
be
happy.
We
want
this
to
be
a
positive
thing
for
our
young
people,
as
well
as
for
the
neighborhood,
so
we
encourage
you
to
vote
yesterday
and
thanks
for
listening
to
me.
Thank
you.
Would
you
please
state
your
address
for
the
record.
D
L
Hello,
I'm
tommy
tomczak
and
my
address
is
2258
blondmont
avenue
I
don't
live
relatively
close
to
the
park,
but
my
opposition
is
for
the
fact
of
many
times,
and
I
have
done
some
research
on
this
and
often
what
happens
with
these
parks
and
I'm
not
sure
what
age
range
you
are
gearing
the
park
but
oftentimes
what
happens?
It
brings
in
a
bad
element
and
for
lack
of
a
better
word.
The
word
predator
comes
to
mind
and
some
of
these
people
usually
a
little
older
than
the
kids
that
are
using
the
park.
L
They
will
come
in
and
talk
to
the
young,
kids
and
coerce
them
or
talk
them
into
you
know:
selling
of
drugs
or
other
sort
of
activities
which
I
don't
have
kids,
but
I
am
really
concerned
about
those
things
happening
to
any
of
our
children
in
our
community.
So
that
really
is
my
point
and
I'm
wondering
if
this
goes
through,
which
I
hope
it
doesn't.
L
For
that
reason,
is
there
security
cameras
going
to
be
placed
in
case?
Things
do
happen
that
are
unlawful
and
and
somebody
does
get
hurt
that
there
is
some
recourse.
That
is
that
they
can
follow
up
with
security
cameras
or,
and
what
is
the
age
range
that
you
are
looking
at
here,
I'm
kind
of
curious.
It
wasn't
really
specified.
F
Sure,
madam
president,
commissioners,
this
is
really
geared
towards
our
entry
level
kind
of
skaters.
So
it's
intended
as
laurie
said
for
kids,
who
are
you
know
within
a
one
mile
area
that
will
probably
scooter
skate
to
the
site?
It's
an
introduction
into
the
sport.
So
I
think
we're
generally
looking
at
a
lot
younger
users
here.
The
level
of
complexity,
of
the
amenities
that
we're
providing
would
not
be
something
that,
like
a
grown-up
skater,
would
ever
not
would
never
be
interested
in,
but
it
would
probably
bore
older
people
who
are
skaters.
F
Madam
president,
there's
no
specific
age
range.
I've
seen
kids
as
young
as
three
at
rhodes,
which
I
thought
was
incredible,
but
you
know
it's
it's
really
geared
towards
those
younger
users.
You
might
get
kids
up,
12
14,
who
are
using
it,
I
would
say,
but
I
think
14
is
probably
the
ceiling.
I
don't
know
if
you
guys
want
to
speak
to
that
a
little
bit
or,
if
that's
about
where
we're
at
yeah
there's
no
real
science
behind.
L
So
and
you
presume
or
foresee
that
there
will
be-
I
mean
nobody
can
do.
That,
actually
is
to
say
no
there's
not
going
to
be
any
bad
influences
coming
into.
The
area
is
really
my
concern
and
once
those
type
of
things
start
to
roll,
they
they
grow
quickly
and
they
cause
a
lot
of
damage,
and
I
know
it
sounds
like
a
horrible
thing,
because
I'm
saying
you
know
I
think
kids
should
have
a
place
to
go
and
there
should
be
alternatives.
But
I
this
the
parks.
A
B
M
M
M
M
It's
going
to
be
plenty
light
for
kids
to
skate
and
12
13
14
year
old,
kids,
they're
going
to
be
out
after
dark,
especially
in
the
summer
time.
I
just
think
this
is
a
tremendously
bad
idea
and
just
because
someone's
offering
to
pay
for
it,
you
know.
I
think
this
is
one
particular
gift
horse
that
we
need
to
look
in
the
mouth
and
say
maybe
not
a
good
idea.
C
Obviously,
we
we've
heard
from
three
today
that
that
are
opposed,
I'm
just
trying
to
sort
this
out
of
my
mind.
I
you
know
being
a
a
principal
as
as
well
for
for
a
long
time
at
a
high
school.
I
I
can
tell
you
that
it's
so
valuable
to
have
you
know
a
safe
and
productive
place
for
the
kids
to
skateboard.
C
The
skateboard
association
would
be
somewhat
disappointed,
sometimes
in
principles
that
talk
to
the
kids
about
you
know
the
cat,
the
campus
at
capitol
high
school
was
not
a
safe
place
to
skateboard,
but
there
are
other
places
to
do
that,
and
I
know
I
guess
personally,
knowing
that
we
have
so
many
kids
that
enjoy
this
sport
having
other
places
really
throughout
the
city.
In
my
mind,
to
to
help
with
that
kids,
obviously,
capital
would
have
a
ways
to
go
to
get
to
some
of
the
other
skate
parks.
A
C
Throughout
our
city,
I
think
as
a
positive
thing
for
our
kids,
it's
safe,
it's
something
we
can
monitor
it's
it's
all
together
and
actually
having
a
kind
of
an
entry-level
skate.
Skatepark
is
going
to
attract
a
lot
of
young
kids
and
give
them
something
to
do
and
it's
outside
right
and
so
during
covid.
C
C
C
J
H
H
Whatever
the
stigma
is,
that
sometimes
is
attached
to
skateboarding,
I
don't
think
is
justified
when
you
look
at
how
well
the
parks
have
worked
here
in
town
and
and
how
that
sport
has
thrived
in
spots
where
we've
provided
kids
and
adults
opportunities
to
enjoy
the
sport,
so
my
perspective
is
the
concerns
are,
are
expressed
and
heartfelt
by
those
neighboring
it.
I
understand
that,
but
from
my
perspective,
this
is
a
nice
solution
to
minimize
the
impact,
but
still
provide
the
benefit.
A
You,
commissioner,
I
want
to
echo
what
the
commission,
what
these
two
commissioners
have
said,
that
I
do
appreciate
always
input
from
the
public
and
the
testimony
that
was
given
today
and
also
the
time
that
people
took
to
write
emails
and
and,
as
they
said
overwhelmingly
in
favor
of
this
little
spot,
and
that
is
another.
I
guess
clarification
that
I
see
in
terms
of
it's
not
really
a
skateboard
park
at
the
level
we
see
at
rhodes
park,
but
it's
a
little
spot
kind
of
a
trading
area.
A
That's
how
I
kind
of
I
picture
it
like
a
training
wheels
for
skateboards
and
the
park.
Definitely
we
want
the
park
to
be
usable
for
as
many
people
as
they
can
be,
and
we
do
want
to
address
concerns.
Neighbors
have
about
noise,
and
I
do
so
much
appreciate
the
way
the
department
addressed
the
concerns
of
the
neighbors
by
moving
the
spot.
A
F
Sure,
madam
president,
I'm
happy
to
talk
about
that,
so
our
skate
parks
are
really
we
get.
Users
who
are
a
little
bit
older
and
both
rhodes
and
for
boise
are
very
popular
with
users
who
live
either
in
the
north
or
the
east
ends,
but
roads
specifically,
we
do
have
people
drive
to
that
park.
It's
a
world-class
facility.
F
We
have
had
you
know
professional
competitions
there
it
it.
It
draws
a
different
user
than
what
we
are
proposing
here.
Our
first
skate
spot
installation
at
bowlers
at
bowler
park,
which
is
a
three
acre
park
in
southeast
boise,
has
been
very
successful.
We
generally
see
kids
at
that.
One
who,
I
would
say,
are
between
like
7
to
12
13,
who
are
using
it
and
in
that
one.
F
Actually
we
see
a
lot
of
scooter
use,
but
it
is
really
geared
towards
people
who
are
you
know
nearby,
who
don't
have
to
get
into
a
car
to
travel
to
it
in
that
park
in
particular,
we
only
have
like
15
parking
spaces,
so
we
really
are
drawing
from
neighbors
who
are
directly
around
it.
They're,
not
there
for
like
hours
on
end
they're.
You
know
they're
there
for
shorter
periods
of
time.
It's
a
lot
of
the
users
that
I
see
at
that
park
are
get
home
from
school.
F
F
If
there
are
people
in
the
park
after
that,
police
will
be
by
to
kindly
ask
them
to
leave,
and
we
do
that
in
all
of
our
parks.
Now,
if
we
do
see
an
issue,
we
immediately
notify
police
and
then
they
immediately
put
on
their
route.
So
we
have
a
great
working
relationship
with
our
police
department.
As
far
as
that
is
concerned-
and
I
you
know
it-
it's
small-
this
is
even
smaller
than
what
we
have
at
bowler,
so
I
wouldn't
anticipate
more
than
like
four
or
five
kids
being
on
it
at
a
time.
F
I
just
don't
think
it
the
space
that
we
have.
I
don't
think
we
have
the
capacity
to
see
that
many
more
kids
using
it
like
at
one
time
so
you're
right
in
your
training,
wheel,
kind
of
simile-
that's
that's
pretty
much!
What
it
is.
It's
an
educational
experience
for
kids,
so
they
could
really
work
to
start
building
up
that
confidence.
That
josh
was
talking
about.
As
far
as
you
know,
experiencing
skating,
there
is
a
lot
of
failure
in
it
so
and
you
have
to
really
try
to
get
good
at
it.
N
Yeah,
madam
president,
commission
members
and
I'm
glad
jennifer
you
brought
up
the
the
connection
we
have
with
police.
All
of
our
parks
are
open.
You
know,
sunrise
to
sunset,
so
there's
always
challenges
regardless
of
what
the
amenities
we
have
in
any
of
our
park
locations
with
keeping
people
out
after
dark.
N
In
this
instance
too,
though,
where
you're
talking
about
an
amenity
that
is
a
small
skate
facility,
the
skating
community
is
a
community,
and
so
we
do
have
the
ability,
through
the
association,
the
contacts
of
the
association
to
make
sure
that
folks
understand.
You
know
they
need
to
be
out
there
at
dark
and
if
there's
an
issue,
we
have
no
issue
reaching
out
to
the
association
they
get.
The
word
out.
N
They
just
have
a
tremendous
network
to
be
able
to
help
us
in
getting
the
word
out
when
there
are
issues
that
are
occurring.
So
you
know
between
that
and
the
fact.
If
we
have
some
issues,
we
would
certainly
notify
our
bike
patrol
or
our
police
patrol,
but
I
think
the
other
point
jennifer
made
that
I
think
we
need
to
emphasize
is
this:
is
not
roads?
We're
not
gonna
have
75
kids
at
a
time
skating
here,
so
it'll
be
a
very
small
number
and
it
is
entry-level
park.
N
So
you
know
I
I
think
it'd
be
very
controllable
from
the
sunset
perspective,
so
I
don't
think
that's
a
big
deal.
I
don't
see
us
putting
cameras
here,
at
least
at
this
point
in
time,
although
we're
deploying
cameras
in
a
lot
of
different
locations
within
our
park
system.
So
I
would
say
that
would
be
something
would
never
occur,
but
at
this
point
in
time
that
is
not
something
that
we
were.
That
would
be
planning
on
doing.
F
Madam
president,
if
I
could
just
add
one
more
point,
so
the
concept
that
we're
showing
on
the
screen,
that
was
our
preliminary
concept
for
a
rectangular
area.
We
have
a
lot
of
flexibility
in
the
design
to
make
it
as
large
or
small
as
we
want
to
so
we
can
really
address
buffering
between
the
pathway
to
try
to
separate
those
uses
as
much
as
we
can
and
we
can
kind
of
smush
it
over
so
that
you
know
there
is
a
good
section
between
the
pathway
and
the
actual
users
of
the
skate
park.
G
G
G
So
I
I
know
that
I
understand
the
concern
and
I
probably
would
be
too
if
I
was
right
next
to
this,
but
I
think
that's
a
long
way
for
noise
to
travel
depending
on
the
wind
blowing
traffic
on
the
road.
You
know
other
things
so
but
one
question:
is
it
all
surf
right
at
the
surface
or
will
be
any
digging
down
for
this
park?.
F
F
G
Well,
I
think
also
if
this
does
go
through
and
the
park
is
built
and
it's
very
successful
and
there
are
issues
with
noise,
then
there's
ways
to
even
address
that
with
shrubbery
or
some
sound
walls,
or
something
like
that.
So
I
think
there's
some
solutions
that
we
could
address
in
the
future.
If
it
it
does
become
a
problem.
I
Hi
good
afternoon,
everyone
yeah,
I
have
a
comment.
Actually,
my
my
son
is
a
skateboarder
and
he's
30
now
but
and
I
used
to
have
to
drive
him,
you
know
to
roads
and
some
of
the
other
bigger
parks,
and
you
know
we
had
to
make
a
makeshift
little
skate
area
between
the
ages
of
six
and
probably
12.
You
know
because
I
couldn't
get
him
down
there
as
often,
but
I
know
skateboarding
kind
of
saved
my
kids
life.
A
C
A
O
O
Than
jennifer,
so
I
thank
you
so
much
for
letting
me
come
today
and
talk
about
my
division.
It
is
an
amazing
honor
to
run
this,
and
before
I
was
superintendent
of
recreation,
I
ran
the
community
centers
at
school
sites.
So
if
I
talk
a
lot
about
them,
it's
because
that's
where
I
started
and
it's
kind
of
my
heart
so
a
little
bit
of
an
overview.
O
We
have
lots
of
stuff
going
on
with
the
recreation
we
have
our
facilities
of
the
senior
center
for
boise,
idaho
ice
world,
our
two
wonderful
golf
courses
quail
hollow
and
warm
springs,
and
the
school-based
community
centers
that
I
mentioned
before
programs.
This
is
just
a
really
high
level
view
of
what
we
do,
but
visual
and
performing
arts.
We
have
a
very
robust
program
there,
adaptive
recreation.
O
Sports,
we
let
our
clubs
take
care
of
those
types
of
opportunities,
so
we
want
to
reach
the
kiddos
that
maybe
do
something.
That's
a
little
more
of
an
alternative
opportunity,
senior
senior
services.
We
were
able
to
take
over
the
dick
early
senior
center
a
couple
of
years
ago,
and
it's
been
an
amazing
experience.
O
Teens
love
our
teams.
We
have
some
community
centers
that
are
targeted
towards
teens
and
programming,
definitely
focus
on
the
junior
high
area
before
they
start
driving
because
that's
when
they
tend
to
get
into
some
trouble.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
providing
positive
opportunities
for
them
hockey
figure
skating
and
learn
to
skate
at
idaho
ice
world.
Very
much
a
growing
sport
very
much
a
passionate
group
that
that
enjoys
what
they
do
and
loves
that
facility,
because
it
is
a
regional
facility.
O
O
The
city
is
very
generous
in
providing
opportunities
for
kids
who
can't
afford
to
participate
in
our
programs
very
much
so
our
programs
are
affordable.
It's
been
a
mission
of
ours
to
make
sure
they're
affordable,
but
even
that
does
not
do
it
for
some
of
our
for
our
kiddos,
and
so
we
make
sure
that
there's
absolutely
no
reason
for
any
child
who
wants
to
participate
in
one
of
our
programs.
O
They
get
to,
we
make
it
happen,
and
our
lifetime
and
leisure
opportunities
is
targeted
towards
senior
services
and
that's
folks
who
want
to
go
places
and
have
fun
and
just
need
a
little
bit
of
structure
and
guidance
through
us
to
get
there.
We
even
send
folks
out
of
the
united
states
on
certain
programs,
so
it's
a
really
fun
fun
program
that
we've
partnered
with
lots
of
organizations
on
okay
highlights
idaho
ice
world.
O
However,
those
participants
have
really
rallied
those
clubs
have
really
rallied
and
been
supportive
of
what
we
need
to
do
to
keep
that
facility
open
and
with
that
restructure.
I
did
some
internal
employee
restructuring
of
that
facility,
because
we
definitely
want
that
to
be
solvent.
We
don't
want
to
take
money
from
the
general
fund.
We
have
lots
of
needs
in
this
city
that
that
money
can
be
dedicated
to,
and
so
we've
worked
very
very
hard
to
make
that
facility
be
that
way,
and
I
really
do
feel
like
we're
on
the
right
track.
O
It
was
very
much
like
pools
before
you
don't
make
money
in
pools,
you
just
don't
there's
no
way,
but
with
ice
world.
I
think
we've
figured
it
out,
and
so
I'm
really
excited
to
see
how
that
turns
out,
because
I
think
it's
going
to
be
pretty
great
quail
hollow
in
warm
springs,
never
closed
during
covid,
and
they
I
mean.
I
don't
know
if
this
is
the
way,
I'm
supposed
to
say
it,
but
they
have
rocked
it
like
crazy.
O
They
made
over
a
million
dollars
during
covet
and
they
have
worked
really
hard.
Some
older
adults
who
participate
in
our
golf
courses,
weren't
really
excited
about
the
masks,
got
a
little
bit
of
pushback,
but
our
customer
service
at
those
golf
courses
are
top-notch
they're
exceptional
and
they
made
it
work,
and
there
was
things
with
the
carts
there
was,
I
mean,
there's
so
many
things
that
we
had
to
work
around
and
those
the
team
members
that
are
on
those
golf
courses
were
phenomenal,
and
I
just
if
I
could
give
them
a
big
ol
shiny
star.
O
O
O
And
now
that
we've
been
in
covid
for
two
years,
people
understand
people,
don't
like
it,
but
they'll
do
it
because
they
want
to
participate
or
be
in
our
facilities
and
my
team
members
who
face
those
customers
every
day,
who've
done
it
with
a
smile
since
day.
One
understand
the
feelings
of
our
participants
understand
that
this
is
hard
and
have
dealt
with
it
with
grace
and
compassion
and
I'm
just
really
proud
of
them
as
well.
O
O
O
O
O
O
Something
else
that
we
do
is
we
have
a
very
robust
art
program
through
our
visual
arts
that
go
into
the
schools
and
teach
every
single
grade
twice
a
year
for
free
at
these
title,
one:
schools,
art-
you
know
it's
a
lower
on
the
priority
list
in
the
schools
and
so
for
us
to
come
in
and
be
able
to
do.
That
is
amazing
and
we're
teaching
pottery
like
we're
not
throwing
out
crayons
like
we're
teaching
them
art
with
a
quality
instructor.
So
we're
really
proud
of
that
program.
O
O
That's
why
I
got
hired
was
to
open
those
two
community
centers,
and
then
we
opened
whitney
a
year
later
in
partnership
with
the
school
district,
and
I
remember
reading
the
the
plan
on
it
and
it
was
like
we're
really
hoping
to
reach
40
kids
at
each
center
yeah.
Well,
that
didn't
happen.
Morley,
nelson
and
whitney
reaches
about
150
a
day.
This
is
pre-copied
and
then
we
said
well,
okay.
O
So
we
have
we
reached
a
smaller
amount
of
children,
but
still
maxing
out
on
space
and
at
one
point
we
were
reaching
800
kids
a
day,
easy
now,
that's
controlled
chaos,
so
we
had
to
change
a
few
things
to
make
sure
that
we
were
still
providing
quality
programming.
We
weren't
just
a
babysitter
and
I
feel
like
we've
done
that
and
then
covet
hit,
and
so
now
we
have
a
reduced
amount
of
children
who
can
be
in
the
facility.
So
we
can
make
sure
that
we
can
do
spacing.
O
They
wear
masks
all
those
sorts
of
things
and
it's
it's
significantly
less,
now
we're
only
allowing
60
at
morley
and
whitney
and
we're
hoping
that
that
will
expand.
Once
how
I
tell
my
team,
is,
I
say
I
don't
say
when
kobe
goes
away,
I
say
when
code
finds
its
place
and
when
kobet
finds
his
place,
then
hopefully
we'll
start
to
build
those
numbers
back
up.
O
We
also
do
a
registration
process
now
where
it
was
drop
in
before
just
so
that
we
can
have
more
accountability
with
the
parents,
and
it's
been
wildly
wildly
successful,
as
you
can
see
on
their
macmillan.
Kid
city
is
in
the
west
data
school
district
and
we
were
able
to
within
the
city
limits
and
we
were
able
to
provide
that
with
them
as
well.
O
We
have
a
phenomenal
relationship
with
boise
schools
district
and
our
joint
use
agreement
and
we're
building
one
with
west
ada,
so
that
is
that
is
amazing
and
then
of
course,
fort
boise
and
the
dickerly
senior
center
and
hillcrest
isn't
open.
Yet
because
that's
our
brand
new
site-
and
we
will
once
we
can
find
staff-
and
I
just
that's
all-
I
need
to
say
about
the
staffing
issue.
O
So
this
is
emily
kovorick.
She
is
our
adaptive
recreation
guru
and
we
just
wanted
a
fun,
a
fun
picture
with
her
and
a
participant,
so
director
holloway.
I
do
believe
I
kept
that
at
10
minutes
like
you
requested
and
yeah
any
questions
or
comments.
I
would
be
happy
to
answer
I
I
can
talk
about
my
team
for
hours,
so
be
careful
what
you
ask
and
I'm
ready.
A
Superintendent
brown-
I
just
wanted
to
you-
you
kind
of
mentioned
this,
but
I
just
wanted
to
toot
the
department's
horn
on
your
horn
on
this.
When
you
know
covet
hit
and
schools
were
closed
down,
daycares
were
closed
down
and
kids
didn't
have
anywhere
to
go
this,
this
city
pivoted
and
your
department
pivoted,
and
we
had
a
place
for
kids
to
go.
We
had
help
for
them
for
digital
school
and
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
a
little.
O
A
O
O
But
we
absolutely
sat
there
with
the
kiddos
for
the
school
and
it
was
some
of
the
the
kids,
especially
the
refugees,
that
we
had.
Staff
sit
with
them
all
day
to
make
sure
that
they
are
having
a
learning
environment
and
it
was.
It
was
fun.
It
was
hard,
but
it
was
amazing,
like
if
I
asked
those
folks
now
they
all
would
say
what
an
incredible
experience
that
was,
once
the
fear
subsided
a
little
bit.
C
C
I
can
tell
you
like
the
golf
courses
without
our
two
city
golf
courses,
our
junior
golf
program
would
not
exist
and
we
just
we're
just
struggling
getting
on
any
golf
course
in
our
city
for
for
kids
to
golf,
but
but
your
staff
at
those
two
city,
golf
courses,
those
guys
are
great.
In
fact
they
should
take
the
rest
of
the
the
time
off
for
no
can't
can't
approve
that
today,
but
there's
there's
many
more
the
community
centers.
Of
course
you
know
just
just
what
our
president
was
talking
about.
C
Just
you
know,
and
taking
care
of
families
and
all
that
time
with
food
because
it
just
was,
it
was
really
hard
for
so
many
families
and
you
guys
stepped
up
and
then
just
gosh,
the
you
know
fort
boise,
the
community
center,
all
of
those
people,
paula,
lawson
and
and
and
marcy
and
carrie.
Just
all
those
guys
take
care
of
us
in
tennis,
courts.
M
C
It's
all
focused
around
trying
to
help
these
kids
and
the
families
and
man
it's
just
it's
just
super
awesome,
like
I
said
you
guys
have
awesome
programs
and
your
people
are
awesome
and
please
share
with
them
just
how
much
we
appreciate
everything
they
do
for
our
schools,
our
kids
and
the
neighborhood
schools.
It's
it's
working
and
it's
it's
just
it's
really
fun
to
be
part
of
that.
Like
I
mean
I
don't
know
if
I'll
be
around
here
forever,
but
I
know
this
this
particular
thing.
C
O
Madam
president,
commissioner,
thank
you
so
much.
I
think
the
school
district
relationship
is
very
unique.
When
I
go
to
different
conferences,
they
don't
get
along,
they
just
don't,
and
even
even
in
the
summer
you
know
the
idaho
food
bank
was
so
so
overwhelmed.
They
couldn't
do
the
picnic
in
the
park
program
and
we
partnered
with
the
school
district,
and
we
just
took
it
on
and
we
fed
those
families
and
we
couldn't
do
it
without
you.
O
O
A
P
Thank
you
so
much
chair.
First
of
all,
I
just
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
your
continued
service
on
the
commission
and,
of
course,
thank
our
parks
and
rec
staff,
who,
I
believe,
are
among
the
unsung
heroes
and
the
city
of
boise
and
meeting
the
needs
of
our
community
that
have
become
more
pressing
in
the
last
couple
of
years.
P
I
just
want
to
re-emphasize
the
significance
of
this
work
that
parks
and
iraq
has
provided
to
our
community
at
this
time
of
crisis
that
you
know,
we've
had
to
make
room
for
it's.
You
know,
I
think
many
of
us
thought
we
would
beyond
would
we
would
be
beyond
having
to
make
so
much
room
for
covid
at
at
this
point,
and
it's
it's
still
with
us,
and
I
just
want
to
point
out
the
significance
of
the
work
that
was
just
shared
with
us.
P
I
can't
emphasize
it
enough,
so
I
just
want
to
on
a
personal
thank
everyone
for
the
work
that
they
do
and
for
the
way
that
you
do
it.
You
do
it
with
a
sacred
heart
for
public
service
and,
as
commissioner
baber
has
said,
all
of
these
amenities
are
a
true
blessing
for
our
community
and
the
impact
that
it
has
on
the
overall
health
of
our
community
cannot
be
overstated.
N
So
we
really
appreciate
that
and
roseanne
and
her
team
have
done
a
phenomenal
job
and
I'm
not
gonna
pile
on
now
with
everybody
else.
But
obviously
roseanne
knows
recreation
has
a
soft
spot
with
me,
because
that's
I
had
her
role
prior
to
her
moving
into
that
role.
So
when
she
talked
about
the
scholarship
piece
and
I'll
leave
it
on
this
note
20
years
ago,
we
did
244
scholarship
activities
for
children
and
I
think
the
total
amount
was
somewhere
in
the
3
dollar
range.
N
Our
last
pre-covered
year
we
did
almost
seventeen
thousand
scholarship
activities
for
children
and
topped
that
two
hundred
thousand
dollar
note.
So
one
would
say:
well
that's
because
our
community's
grown-
and
you
know
the
need-
is
out
there
and
all
those
things,
and
some
of
that
is
true,
but
really
it's
a
the
factor.
That's
driving.
That
is
our
ability
to
do
better
outreach
and
to
better
coordinate
with
organizations
within
the
community
and
identify
families
identify
children.
