A
A
So
when
I'm
here,
when
I
call
your
name
please
let
me
know
that
you're
here,
commissioner
ellis
here,
mr
crowley,
here,
commissioner
hilton
commissioner
morgan
here,
commissioner
collette
all
right
looks
like
we
have
a
quorum
and
we
can
jump
in.
The
first
item
on
our
agenda.
Is
the
approval
of
the
minutes
from
our
last
regular
meeting
on
march
2nd,
and
I
would
entertain
a
motion.
B
A
D
Thank
you
chair.
We
just
wanted
to
provide
an
overview
of
the
water
outlook
for
2022.
Most
of
you
know.
We
had
a
bad
water
year
in
21.
It's
not
looking
much
better
for
22,
at
least
not
yet
so
john
rolled
in
our
strategic
water
resources
manager
is
going
to
give
you
an
overview
of
of
the
outlook
and
any
steps
the
city's
taking
to
to
address.
So
john
thanks.
E
E
E
But
since
then
does
the
spigot
dried
up
or
turned
off
and
we've
seen
very
dry
conditions
february
was
the
driest
on
record
at
the
airport
and
we
have
the
we
got
the
third
driest
period
from
january
to
to
march.
So
we
just
found
that
out
so
not
not
too
terribly
great
on
the
waterside
outlook,
but
that
has
dropped
us
so
again
from
130
coming
into
this
year
and
in
early
january
down
to
if
you
can
read
on
this
63
percent
snowpack
of
63
of
average
snowpack
in
the
boise
river
drainage.
E
So,
as
steve
had
mentioned
last
year,
was
it
was
a
challenging
year
as
well?
Well,
we
got
through
it
without
too
many
scrapes
and
bruises,
but
it
was
a
challenging
year.
So
I
thought
it
might
be
helpful
if
we
kind
of
compared
last
year
to
what
we're
seeing
this
year
at
the
same
time,
just
to
kind
of
give
you
a
flavor
of
of
what
we
might
be
able
to
expect.
E
So,
if
you
look
over
the
the
left
figure,
the
state
of
idaho
is
the
is
the
snow
water
equivalent
for
all
the
different
basins?
And
if
you
look
down
around,
if
you
can
locate
where
the
boise
river
drainage
is
down
kind
of
on
the
lower
left,
we
were
at
91
of
average
last
year
at
this
time
that
actually
we
we
started
to
to
get
drier
after
in
april.
So
we
had
a
more
of
a
a
wet
winter
early
spring,
but
we
had
a
dry
later
spring.
E
If
you
kind
of
go
over
to
the
right
map,
you
can
see
we're
already
experiencing
those
dry
conditions
earlier.
So
that's
not
not
a
good
sign
we're
about!
Well,
if
you
go
with
the
current
forecast
of
61
we're
about
30
percent
lower
in
snow
water,
equivalent
or
snowpack
for
this
time
of
year,
and
that's
near
the
april
first
average.
E
Looking
at
our
storage
capacity
at
this
time,
if
you
you
can
look
at
this,
is
the
the
bureau
reclamation's
t-cup
diagram,
adjusted
a
little
bit
just
to
focus
on
what
I'm
talking
about
today,
the
three
upper
reservoirs
lucky
peak,
arrowrock
and
anderson
ranch-
you
can
see
arrow
rocks,
getting
close
to
being
full,
but
lucky
peaks
at
about
50
and
anderson
ranch
is
about
40
percent
last
year.
At
this
time.
E
On
april
1st,
we
were
at
64
full
and
this
year
we're
at
55
so
we're
coming
in
about
9
shy
of
last
year,
not
all
bad
news.
This
these
numbers
are
actually
around
around
average.
The
64
is
a
little
above
average
and
the
55
is
about
92
percent,
so
just
a
little
bit
below
average,
but
that
it's
it's
it's
hard
to
to
compare
those
to
to
look
at
that
without
thinking
about
flood
control
operations,
because
we
don't
have,
we
haven't
had
any
flood
control
operations
this
year.
E
E
Switching
over
to
the
the
drought
monitor
again,
the
left
is
2021
and
the
right
is
2022..
If
you
can
zero
in
and
find
ada
county
there
on
the
bottom
left
of
the
figure
of
the
state
idaho
we
at
this
time
last
year
we
weren't
in
drought
conditions
and
again
going
back
to
what
I
said
earlier.
It
started
to
get
dry
about
this
time,
so
it
hadn't
kicked
in.
E
Yet,
if
you
go
over
to
the
right
in
2022
and
you
find
ada
county
again,
you
can
see
we're
already
two
steps
ahead
in
the
in
the
drought
severity.
So
we're
already
at
a
moderate
drought,
and
I
think
what
most
folks
can
tell
when
they're
going
out
in
their
yards,
they
can
see
the
their
yards
are,
are
dry,
grass
turf
is
dry
and
it's
begging
for
water.
The
the
recent
rain
was
a
blessing
and
helped
we
need.
We
need
a
few
more
of
those
for
sure.
E
So
kind
of,
to
sum
it
up,
looking
at
at
the
april
first
snapshot
our
snowpack's
about
30
percent
lower
than
it
was
last
year.
Our
reservoir
storage
is
about
10
percent
lower
than
last
year,
and
our
drought
conditions
are
are
more
intense
now,
not
to
say
we
couldn't
still
get
a
wet
late
spring.
I
don't
think
it's
it's
not
in
not
in
the
forecast
at
this
point,
but
that
could
change
the
cooler
temperatures.
I
know
the
forecast
is
for,
for
average
to
cooler
temperatures.
So
hopefully
we
don't
get
that
record
heat.
E
We
had
last
year
in
june
that,
where
we're
over
100
for
most
of
the
summer,
so
that
that
will
help
so
it's
it's
it's
it's
not
looking
good,
but
it
we
haven't
lost
all
hope
yet
and
and
the
on
the
other
side
on
the
brighter
side,
we
do
have
a
year
of
experience
operating
under
these
conditions.
So
there's
a
lot
more
continuity
between
agencies
talking
and
and
so
that
that
should
go
a
lot
smoother
this
year.
E
You
chair,
so
I
want
to
start
with
what
we've
what
we've
been
doing
internally,
the
the
20
mile
south
farm
is
our
biggest
water
user
and
irrigation
is
the
the
biggest
cost
component
of
their
operating
budget.
So
we've
spent
a
lot
of
time
over
the
years
trying
to
dial
in
our
irrigation
and
make
it
as
efficient
as
possible.
So
we
we
calculate-
or
we
use
the
aggregate,
the
bureau
of
reclamation's
agreement,
evapotranspiration
numbers
to
determine
what
the
plant
needs
are
and
we
we
strive
to
deliver
exactly
that.
E
We
also
have
we
to
do
that.
We
have
automated
pivot
systems
that
are
programmed
to
with
those
with
those
volume
numbers
in
mind
to
actually
deliver
that
amount
of
water.
We
have
soil,
moisture,
probes
that
look
to
make
sure
that
the
water
is
staying
in
the
root
zone
and
we're
not
over
irrigating,
and
then
we
can.
So
if
we
are,
then
we
would
back
off
I'll
draw
your
attention
to
this
figure
on
the
upper
left.
Those
that's
a
that's
a
pivot
circle,
there's
two
pivot
circles
there.
Actually
one
is
darker
and
then
one
has
look.
E
You
can
see
some
yellow
and
that's
a
program
that
the
farm
has
that
looks
at
a
pivot.
It
takes
aerial.
Imagery,
looks
at
that
pivot
area
and
the
yellow
areas
are
where
water
is
not
being
applied
as
effectively.
So
we
can
go
in
and
know
that
our
pivot
nozzles
aren't.
They
may
be
clogged,
something
might
be
a
leak
of
some
kind,
and
so
we
can
go
in
there
and
make
fine
make
some
fine-tuned
fixes
and,
as
always,
ben
nyger
out
at
the
farm
he's
always
interested
in
new
technology
and
new
software.
E
Our
second
biggest
water
user
is
the
parks,
and
they
do
a
lot
of
very
similar
things
that
are
being
done
out
at
the
farm
they're,
also
on
et
demand-based
irrigation
trying
to
deliver
just
what
that
plant
needs
using
soil,
moisture
probes,
there's
a
picture
there
on
the
bottom
left
of
a
weather
station
that
they
have
out
there
to
try
and
to
help
calculate
those.
Those
vapor
transpiration
numbers
they're,
also
going
they're
trying
to
remove
all
non-functional
turf,
which
is,
if
you're
not
familiar
with
that
term.
E
It's
turf,
that's
not
being
used
for
sports
fields
or
walking
or
some
type
of
recreational
activity.
It's
a
good
example
would
be
like
in
this
top
left
picture.
A
median
you
know
having
a
bunch
of
turf
out
there
is,
is
it's
not
being
used
and
so
we're
they're
going
through
and
actually
replacing
those
medians
in
other
areas
where
we
have
non-functional
turf
and
putting
in
more
drought,
drought,
tolerant
landscaping-
and
in
this
case
here
in
this
upper
left
picture,
some
some
drip
irrigation.
E
They
also
have
existing
drought
guidelines
that
have
been
around
for
for
quite
a
while
that
kind
of
dictate
when
surface
water
goes
off
when
the
irrigators
stop
their
water
and
it's
and
it's
and
folks
will
start
to
turn
to
groundwater
to
irrigate
they
have.
They
have
set
up
some
priorities
on
which
parks
will
have
highest
priority.
If
you
can
imagine,
medians
get
less
priority
and
morrison
gets
a
lot
more
priority.
E
You
know
so
that
the
big
jewels
get
the
highest
priority
and
when
the
surface
water
turns
off
and
something
again
going
back
to
lessons
learned
from
last
year.
One
thing
we
did
in
coordination
with
viola
a
couple
folks.
Here
we
were
coordinating
when
surface
water
turned
off.
We
decided
to
coordinate
with
with
viola
to
say
we
know
our
parks
may
need
to
go
on
some
ground
water,
we're
going
to
try
and
deficit
irrigate,
so
we're
not
pulling
too
much
from
the
ground
and
are
using
our
potable
supply.
E
E
We're
planning
this
year
for
a
in
during
this
the
summer,
early
late,
let's
say
late
spring
early
early
summer
and
then
throughout
the
irrigation
season,
to
conduct
an
education
and
awareness
campaign.
To
so
folks
understand
what
we're
dealing
with
here,
we're
going
to
be
monitoring
the
conditions.
If
they
get
worse,
then
we'll
you
know
we'll
change
our
messaging
we're
considering
a
voluntary
water
use
reduction
target
as
part
of
the
kind
of
an
attention-getting
method.
E
But
the
big
part
of
the
awareness
campaign
will
just
be
recommending
indoor
and
outdoor
conservation
measures,
best
management
practices
similar
to
the
ones
we're
using
out
at
the
farm
and
our
parks
point
folks
to
the
boise
watershed,
all
the
educational
programs.
We
have
and
information
we
can
have
online
and
one
thing:
that's
a
cool
opportunity
is
we're
going
to
encourage
the
use
of
smart
meters.
E
E
So
we
can
cut
down
on
our
on
our
demand,
we're
going
to
try
and
fortify
our
surface
water.
We
have
an
existing
ordinance
that
requires
surface
water
to
be
used
on
a
property
that
had
that's
been
developed.
That
was
a
was
farmed
before
and
had
irrigation
water
that
water
needs
to
stay,
we're
going
to
try
and
strengthen
that
language
a
bit
so
just
things
like
that.
E
A
C
Chair
to
robot
sorry,
I
just
thought
of
something
commissioner
ellis
I
was
gonna
say
I
don't
have
a
question,
but
I
wanted
to
comment
on
the
first
set
of
slides,
so
we
kind
of
just
saw
a
subset
just
recently,
two
or
three
slides
in
the
set
before
it
was
to
say
it
was
such
a
good
visual
to
help
with
understanding
the
water
levels,
the
snow
pack
and
and
whatnot
all.
That
is
just
really
helpful
because
really
good
slides
and
thank
you
for
that.
A
D
Chair
gravath,
thank
you,
and
this
is
the
culmination
of
multiple
months
of
of
work
with
the
commission,
so
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
heather
buchan,
our
chief
administrative
officer
and
she'll
go
over
the
the
com
combination
of
both
our
own
costs,
our
capital
costs
that
lead
to
the
rate
recommendation
and
then
how
that
integra,
how
the
cost
of
service
integrates
into
that
recommendation
specifically
for
water
renewal,
so
heather.
F
So,
as
steve
mentioned,
this
is
a
fine
or
one
of
the
final
presentations
for
our
budget
and
cost
of
service
study
that
we've
been
talking
about
since
january,
so
appreciate
the
commission's
patience
with
the
continual
presentations
that
we've
had,
but
I'm
excited
to
have
kind
of
a
culminating
and
presentation
and
asking
for
several
motions
from
the
commission
this
afternoon.
F
So
we'll
dive
right
in
and
a
lot
of
the
slides,
I'm
showing
today
are
slides
that
you've
seen
over
the
last
few
months,
but
just
a
bit
of
a
reminder
of
where
we
are
with
the
budget
and
what
you've
seen
so
that
as
you're
making
the
final
motions
today,
it's
kind
of
a
refresher.
So
you
aren't
thinking
what
am
I
approving
so
we'll
just
jump
right
in
so
we've
seen
this
slide
multiple
times
we're
at
the
end
of
the
arrow
there.
F
So
some
of
our
overarching
assumptions
here
we'll
go
through
these
really
quickly.
We've
talked
about
them
before
for
revenue
budgets
that
we're
assuming
account
growth
of
one
percent
per
year,
investment
interest
of
only
half
a
percent.
We
are
assuming
that
those
will
be
conservative
and
we
may
anticipate
a
little
bit
more
growth
or
more
revenue
from
the
investment
interest,
but
we
feel
it's
better
to
be
a
little
bit
conservative
than
not
and
fall
short
of
our
revenue
projections
for
personnel
costs.
F
F
We
do
go
through
our
budget
line
by
line,
so
this
1.15
percent
is
a
starting
point
as
we
review
each
account
throughout
our
budget.
We
consider
where
there
may
need
to
be
more
larger
increase
for
items
considered
like
chemical
or
something
like
that
that
is
increasing
substantially
year
over
year
or
when
we
might
not
need
an
increase
at
all,
and
we
would
reflect
that
as
a
zero
percent.
F
So,
overall,
when
we
look
at
our
budgets,
our
total
increase
will
be
more
than
1.15
for
the
operation
of
maintenance
line
items,
but
this
was
a
starting
point,
so
we'll
quickly
review
through
each
of
the
different
funds
and
then
at
the
end
of
each
fund.
We'll
talk
about
the
proposed
rate,
increases
cash
flow
projections
and
then
impacts
of
rates
on
monthly
budgets,
where
applicable
so
for
the
water
renewal
fund.
F
Then
we've
talked
about
the
capital
multiple
times
already
and
won't
review
the
projects
in
particular,
but
this
is
the
list
of
projects
and
the
proposed
budget
amounts
for
fiscal
2023.
We
have
projects
at
lander
street
that
are
continuing
the
repair
replacement
work
there
also
meeting
regulatory
requirements
and
capacity
improvements.
West
boise
is
also
regulatory
and
capacity
driven
with
a
few
items
for
repair
maintenance.
The
new
recycled
water
program
is
continuing
the
collection
system.
F
So
next
we
mentioned
this
last
time
just
giving
an
idea
of
what's
going
on
in
our
fund.
There
are,
and
this
one
slide
summarizes
a
lot
of
work.
That's
happening
we're
implementing
our
capital
improvement
plan
that
was
part
of
our
water
renewal
utility
plan.
We
are
doing
executing
a
staffing
plan
right
now,
so
that
we're
ensuring
staff
appropriately
to
execute
the
work
that's
coming
forward.
F
So
then,
what
does
that
look
like
for
our
budget?
I
don't
expect
you
to
look
at
every
number
on
this
slide,
but
the
important
points
here,
if
we
look
at
the
total
revenues,
our
total
revenues
for
on
this
fund
are
anticipated
to
be
73.5
million
dollars,
and
our
total
expenditure
budget
is
about
64.8
million,
so
we're
anticipating
a
net
income
of
roughly
8.7
million
dollars,
and
that's
intentional
that
net
income
helps
us
fund
the
capital
projects
that
are
upcoming,
that
we
just
talked
about
and
some
of
the
future
work
that
we'll
be
doing.
F
We
also
have
resource
resource
requests,
which
are
basically
fte
requests
that
we've
talked
about
previously.
I
won't
go
through
the
list
of
them
again,
but
you
can
see
the
titles
and
a
little
bit
of
a
note
about
each
one
of
them.
There
will
be
11
positions
that
we're
requesting
and
roughly
1
million
dollars
of
total
budget
associated
with
those.
If
all
of
those
are
approved,
then
that
additional
budget
would
be
added
to
our
operational
budget
for
fiscal
2023.
F
F
We
whittled
that
list
down
to
the
11
that
were
proposed,
so
that
leaves
us
19
or
so
that
we're
not
moving
forward
right
now,
but
those
needs
are
still
there
and
as
we
move
forward
through
the
coming
10-year
window,
we
anticipate
that
we
will
need
to
add
additional
ftes.
Some
of
the
drivers
that
are
listed
here
are
reasons
for
that.
So
growth,
that's
coming
across
the
board.
We,
as
we
noted
we
have
regulatory
permits,
so
compliance
with
those
are
will
cause
additional
workload,
flow
and
load
increases
that
are
anticipated
within
our
materials
management
fund.
F
There
are,
as
we
have
growth,
that
a
workload
also
increases
implementing
our
utility
plan
and
being
able
to
execute
on
that
we're
also
expecting
to
have
business
and
process
improvements
that
we
need
to
take
on
and
then
organizational
development
and
change
management.
F
So
okay,
so
we
talked
about
this
briefly
last
month
about
our
water,
renewal
rate
recommendations
and
we've
talked
about
the
umbrella
rate
increase,
as
we
talked
last
year
about
the
bond
recommendations
and
getting
that
in
place.
So
the
umbrella
rate
increase
for
the
utility
would
be
a
9.9
percent
increase
for
fiscal
2023,
that
is,
for
an
average
rate
for
all
users.
When
we
overlaid
the
cost
of
service
study
on
top
of
that
rate
increase,
then
we
start
looking
at
slightly
different
rates
increases
by
category
or
by
class.
F
So
for
single-family
and
multi-family
residential
we're
requesting
a
7.5
rate
increase
unmonitored
commercial,
an
8.4
percent
increase,
monitored
commercial
would
be
an
average
of
about
not
quite
17
percent
and
then
with
an
eagle
sewer
district,
roughly
6.9
percent,
the
other
two
sewer
districts,
west
boise,
sewer,
district
and
garden
city
would
also
be
going
up
slightly
more.
The
their
rate
increases
are
governed
by
contracts,
so
we'll
be
updating
our
contracts
with
them
to
reflect
the
differential
and
rate
increase
there.
F
F
F
So
comparable
rates
this
is
we
update
this
every
year,
so
from
the
lowest
rate
in
the
area
which
right
now
is
for
west
boise
sewer
district
at
23.
F
You
can
see
the
middle
range
of
that
the
blue
bars
are
kind
of
locally
were
averaging,
I
think
the
37
dollars
and
50
cents.
The
boise
current
rate
is
shown
on
here,
which
is
a
40
dollars
and
43
cents.
The
our
proposed
rate
is
also
shown
on
here
of
cents
just
to
give
an
idea
of
where
we
fall
in
that
range,
so
we're
a
little
bit
on
the
upper
end,
but
we
know
that
the
rates
that
are
shown
on
this
graph
for
the
other
municipalities
or
other
sewer
districts
are
their
rates
current
rates.
F
We
don't
yet
know
what
their
proposed
rates
are
going
to
be,
so
we
anticipate
that
their
rates
will
also
be
increasing
this
next
year.
We
just
don't
know
how
much
so
we
expect
the
the
tide
so
to
speak,
to
rise
for
all
of
them.
In
addition,
and
be
somewhat
closer
to
where
we
are
anticipating
hours
for
next
year,
and
then
you
can
see,
the
bars
in
green
would
be
the
regional
comparisons
for
spokane
portland
and
seattle.
F
So
then,
our
rate
outlook-
this
is
just
looking
forward
for
the
next
10
years.
You
can
see
our
fiscal
20
2023
is
the
9.9
percent
and
then
looking
out
to
2032
we're,
estimating
rates
could
drop
down
to
5
percent.
F
F
So
then,
trying
to
put
things
in
context
for
my
cash
flow
slide
here
this
the
capital
seems
a
little
out
of
order,
but
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
reminder
of
kind
of
that
10-year
projection
of
the
capital
spending.
So
we
anticipate
that
we'll
be
increasing
in
the
24
25
26
to
around
our
peak
of
our
capital.
Spending
then
dropping
down
slightly
in
the
years
following
that.
So
when
we
look
at
our
cash
flow
projection,
I'll
orient
us
on
this
slide
a
little
bit.
F
The
blue
line
that
looks
like
a
the
ball
balances
out
there
in
the
middle
of
it
a
little
bit.
That's
our
cash
on
hand
or
our
fund
balance,
and
then
the
dash
line
that's
going
across
is
what
our
target
fund
balance
would
be
to
cover
180
days
cash
or
100
days,
80
days
of
operational
costs.
So
you
would
expect
that
we
don't
want
that
to
be
just
our
minimum.
We
have
capital
costs
and
other
things
to
cover
with
our
fund
balance.
F
We
anticipate
drawing
our
fund
balance
down
as
we're
starting
to
utilize,
some
of
that
built
up
fund
balance
towards
our
capital
projects
and
then
in
2025,
26
out
through
2029
that
little
those
bump
ups
in
those
years
would
be
where
we're
receiving
funds
from
our
bonds.
That
we
will
be
issuing
that
bumps
our
cash
flow
up
temporarily,
and
then
we
draw
it
down
as
we
utilize
that
for
the
capital
projects
that
we're
spending
on.
F
So
you
can
see
we
start
kind
of
if
you
average
those
out,
though
we
start
leveling
out
kind
of
in
the
next
10-year
window
as
we're
utilizing
the
cash
more
readily
for
the
bonds
that
we
are
or
for
the
capital
projects
that
we
are
paying
for
going
forward.
C
F
Why
is
this
going
the
wrong
direction?
There?
We
go
so
solid
waste
fund,
so
for
fiscal
2023
budget
drivers
in
this
fund
are
really
driven
by
the
service
that
we
provide
to
our
customers.
F
Probably
three
or
four
years
ago,
market
has
to
has
shifted
more
towards
a
united
states
or
national
use
of
our
commodities,
but
those
markets
are
emerging
and
not
fully
utilizing
those
commodities.
Yet
so
prices
are
still
pretty
volatile
but
have
stabilized
a
bit
for
our
services.
We've
added
10,
electric
trucks
or
our
adding
within
this
year.
So
within
fiscal
22,
all
10
trucks
will
be
on
the
road
and
we
are
anticipating
those
costs
for
our
fiscal
2023
budget
in
fiscal
22.
F
We
also
added
expanded
our
compost
facilities,
so
this
2023
budget
is
anticipating
that
expansion.
So
we
start
paying
republic
for
that
expansion
and
then
also
with
the
republic
services
contract
last
year
with
the
crazy
local
market.
The
labor
market
they
were
experiencing
difficulties
with
keeping
drivers,
keeping
mechanics
and
whatnot,
so
there
were
wage
increases
there
related
to
providing
service,
so
those
wage
increases
are
being
reflected
over
into
our
2023
budget
as
well.
F
We
do
have
a
resource
request
and
this
resource
request
is
actually
moving
through
the
process.
Right
now,
in
fiscal
22,
we,
our
hazardous
household
waste
environmental
coordinator
position,
was
vacated
just
a
few
months
ago
by
an
employee
that
had
been
here
a
long
time
and
she
worked
part-time
doing
a
huge
amount
of
work
in
that
part-time
employment.
So
as
we're
trying
to
go
out
and
hire
for
a
new
replacement
for
that
position,
we
realized
that
it's
a
very
niche
position
and
would
be
difficult
to
hire
as
only
half
fte
plus.
F
The
workload
now
is
larger
and
it
really
needs
to
be
a
full
fte.
So
we're
asking
to
add
a
half
fte.
As
I
mentioned,
we
are
doing
that
in
fiscal
22,
but
we
also
need
to
reflect
it
into
our
fiscal
23
budget
and
that's
why
we're
noting
it
for
approval
our
proposed
budget
for
fiscal
2023.
Then
the
revenues
are
estimated
to
be
just
shy
of
40
million
dollars.
F
Our
expenditure
bill
budget
is
anticipated
to
be
slightly
over
40
million
dollars
at
40
million
800
000.
So
when
you
take
the
difference
there
that
results
in
a
net
deficit
of
roughly
eight
hundred
and
sixty
thousand
dollars,
so
we
obviously
don't
want
to
operate
the
fund
in
a
negative
situation,
so
we
are
proposing
a
rate
increase
for
the
utility
of
roughly
three
percent.
F
So
our
as
I
noted
the
net
income
before
the
rate
increase
is
roughly
863
thousand
dollars
short
the
net.
The
three
percent
rate
increase
would
generate
roughly
1.1
million
dollars,
and
so
our
net
income
after
the
rate
increase,
would
be
roughly
275
000
for
fiscal
2023.
F
F
So
our
cash
flow
projection
for
the
solid
waste
fund
again
the
dashed
line
across
the
graph
shows
what
our
minimum
target
balance
is
and
in
this
fund
it's
assuming
a
30-day
cash
on
hand
which
would
provide
for
one
month's
operational
reserve.
F
F
So
rate
comparables,
so
it's
a
little
challenging
when
we're
looking
at
solid
waste
to
compare
apples
to
apples,
because
the
services
that
boise
provides
are
different
than
maybe
the
services
that
some
of
the
neighboring
cities
provide.
So
we
tried
to
make
it
as
comparable
as
possible,
but
the
gray
bars
for
all
the
other
cities
are
representing
their
trash
and
recycling
service
and
for
boise
it
represents
our
trash
recycling
and
compost
service.
F
I
believe
a
couple
of
our
neighboring
cities.
I
think
eagle,
is
starting
a
compost
service
that's
by
subscription,
so
that
would
be
on
top
of
the
price
that
is
noted
here
so
and
I'm
I
believe,
maybe
garden
city
and
star
are
doing
that
as
well,
so
comparably
for
the
service
that
we're
providing
were
pretty
much
in
the
middle
of
the
pack
and
so
the
first.
It
shows
both
rates,
both
the
pre-rate
increase
and
post-rate
increase
on
the
chart
or
on
the
graph
for
boise.
F
F
We
are
requesting
a
geothermal
project
representative.
This
is
one
of
the
items
that
was
discussed
in
that
strategic
planning
design
sprint.
We
have
one
person
that
is
tasked
with
managing
the
geothermal
system,
and
that
is
a
full-time
job.
So
working
on
expanding
use
or
attracting
new
customers
is
not.
You
know,
there's
not
a
lot
of
time
for
that
to
happen,
so
this
representative
would
allow
that
to
happen.
The
cost
of
it
we're
asking
the
general
fund
to
contribute
to
that
cost,
because
the
geothermal
fund
is
somewhat
resource
constrained.
F
But
when
we
look
forward
here
at
this
chart,
we
did
include
that
as
part
of
the
personnel
expense.
If
the
general
fund
does
cover
that
the
personnel
expense
in
the
geothermal
fund
would
be
reduced
to
reflect
that
so,
and
so
our
total
water
sales
revenue
for
geothermal
fund
is
roughly
670
thousand
dollars
estimated
for
fiscal
2023.
F
Our
expenditure
budget
is
estimated
at
just
about
883
000,
which
does
result
in
a
deficit
of
about
213
000
for
the
fund.
We
are
and
purposely
in
this
fund,
using
some
of
our
fund
balance,
basically
through
our
funded
depreciation,
so
that
we
can
make
strategic
repairs
on
the
system.
So
that
is
intentional.
F
We
are
not
recommending
a
rate
increase
for
fiscal
2023
at
this
time,
although
we
did
consider
that
as
an
option,
so
our
geothermal
cash
flow
projection.
You
can
see
as
we
move
forward.
It
grows
slightly
over
the
years,
but
not
substantially
with
over
time.
So
for
fiscal
2023.
You
can
see
where
are
dipping
down
slightly
because
of
that
use
of
fund
balance
and
then
slightly
growing
over
the
next
few
years.
F
Then
the
municipal
irrigation
fund-
this
is
our
smallest
of
our
enterprise
funds.
The
operating
revenues
are
about
54
000
and
our
operating
expenses
are
about
44
000,
so
it
gives
us
a
net
income
of
roughly
10
000.
Each
year
rates
are
reviewed
annually
in
january
as
set
by
state
code.
So
john
gunderson
will
review
those
with
the
commission
at
that
time.
F
Last
but
not
least,
is
a
general
fund
and
just
a
reminder
of,
what's
included
in
the
general
fund.
We
have
our
facility
program
management,
which
manages
the
maintenance
of
all
of
our
general
city
facilities,
facility
services
and
operations
is
the
planning
and
construction
side
of
the
house
for
our
general
city.
Facilities
includes
municipal
lighting,
climate
action,
air
quality
and
energy.
The
water
supply
team,
which
john
rolden
just
gave
you
a
presentation
regarding
stormwater
and
then
drainage,
hillside
and
dis.
F
So
we
changed
the
amount
that
we
had
originally
included
on
the
slide
to
just
say
under
discussion,
because
the
amount
is
going
to
change
so
we'll
keep
you
posted
as
we
get
a
more
firm
number
there,
but
otherwise
the
projects
are
still
the
same
list
of
projects
and
otherwise
the
same
amounts
long-term
planning.
We
talked
about
these
items
as
well.
F
The
climate
action
and
energy
future
plans
they're
the
implementation
phase
facility
program
management
that
support
facility
plan
that
was
on
the
prior
slide
and
the
office
work
space
planning
those
are
in
either
implementation
phases
or
ongoing
water
resources.
The
one
water
study
is
going
to
be
a
new
study
for
this
next
fiscal
year
and
we
are.
We
are
requesting
funds
for
that
from
the
general
fund.
We
have
streetlight
and
drainage
and
gulches
asset
management
programs
also
that
are
ongoing.
F
F
So
that
generates
that
revenue,
our
expenditure
budget
is
roughly
8.2
million
dollars
for
the
general
fund
and,
as
you
can
see,
a
significant
portion
of
that
about
3.5
million
is
personnel
expenses
and
the
remaining
difference
is
o
m
expense
of
about
4.7
million.
The
net
income
on
this
is
really
what
the
property
tax
portion
or
general
fund
support
is
of
this
function.
So
where
are
other
revenues
as
a
as
a
president
of
boise
we're
paying
those
property
tax
or
sales
tax
and
whatnot?
Those
are
supporting
the
services
that
we
provide
here
as
well.
F
So
that
concludes
the
overall
presentation.
So
next
would
be
requesting
the
motion
from
commission.
I
have
a
proposed
motion
or
several
motions.
If
there
are
questions
we
can
consider
those
maybe
before
and
then
we
can
move
to
the
motion.
A
B
Thank
you,
mr
chair
heather.
Thank
you
again
for
your
working,
your
presentation,
hey
no
problem
with
the
water
renewal
rate
plan.
Please
see
the
residential
increase
is
somewhat
less
than
the
overall
on
the
the
solid
waste
rate
plan
you
mentioned.
The
three
percent
increase
is
that
universal
for
all
customer
classes.
F
Chair
commissioner,
crowley
right
now
we're
anticipating
that
to
be
universal
for
all
rate
classes.
We
are
doing
a
little
bit
further
analysis
to
confirm
that,
but
at
this
point
we
are
assuming
that
that
would
be
for
each
class.
Yes,.
B
As
just
as
a
follow-up
feather,
is
that
three
percent
just
for
one
year
or
are
you
I
didn't
see
anything
specifically
referenced
for
multiple
years
subsequent
to
fiscal
fiscal
year
23?
Is
that
the
three
percent
is
that
it
for
the
next
two
or
three
years.
F
Chairman
and
commissioner
crowley,
the
three
percent
is
for
fiscal
2023
and
then,
as
we
let
me
go
back
to
that
slide.
F
Sorry
for
the
flipping
through
slides,
so
if
we
look
at
the
cash
flow
projection
going
forward,
when
we
dip
down
slightly,
then
there
would
be
a
slight
rate
increase
to
bring
it
back
up
a
little
bit
more,
but
it
the
fund
would
would
need
slight
rate
increases
over
time
to
keep
up
with
inflation
or
we
don't
have.
F
F
And
mr
or
chair,
maybe
I
can
define
what
the
motions
are
so
that
we
can
walk
through
them
really
quickly.
So
the
first
motion
would
be
requesting
approval
of
the
water
renewal
cost
of
service
analysis
and
that
three-year
phase-in
that
we
talked
about
last
meeting.
F
The
next
motion
would
be
requesting
approval
of
each
of
the
different
funds,
as
we've
presented
the
budgets
for
each
of
those
different
funds
and
then
the
next
two
motions
would
be
requesting
the
rate
increases
for
solid
waste
fund
and
water
renewal
fund,
and
so
the
one
for
the
solid
waste
fund
kind
of
goes
back
to
that
question
that
commission
member
crowley
asked
about
the
three
percent
increase
right
now
we
are
anticipating
that
will
be
a
three
percent
for
each
class
of
customer.
F
A
Awesome
thanks
for
the
quick
explainer
and
just
to
clarify
these
are
each
meant
to
be
separate
motions,
or
can
we
make
a
single
motion
for
approval
of
the
four
segments
and
forwarding
the
recommendations
on
if
we,
if
the
commission
wishes.
F
A
B
Oh
mr
chair.
B
If
there
are
no
additional
questions,
I
would
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
please
or
approval
of
the
water
renewal
cost
of
service
analysis,
including
a
three-year
phase-in
period
to
reflect
the
cost
to
serve
into
individual
customer
classes.
A
All
right
hearing,
none
all
those
in
favor
of
the
motion,
please
indicate
by
saying
aye
aye
any
oppose
the
same
sign
hearing
none
the
motion
carries
and
then
do.
We
need
a
separate
motion
to
pass
these
recommendations
on
all
right.
So
now
on
the
table,
we
need
a
motion
to
pass
on
the
recommendations
made
in
the
previous
motion.
All
right.
B
Given
the
commission's
approval
of
the
prior
motion,
I
would
move
that
the
commission
asked
the
staff
to
forward
these
recommendations
on
to
the
mayor
and
city
council
for
inclusion
approval
in
the
city's
overall
fiscal
year.
23
budget.
A
C
A
A
The
discussion
around
the
public
works
commission's
subcommittees
and
I
will
join
director
burgos
in
introducing
this
topic
a
little
further
and
leading
a
discussion
around
some
of
what
we've
already
generally
introduced.
D
Chair
grave,
thank
you
very
much.
I
wanted
to
spend
a
little
time
talking
about
some
of
the
concepts
that
the
chair
and
I
discussed
over
the
last
several
months.
So
as
as
we
presented
last
commission
meeting,
we
talked
about
starting
with
two
specific
subcommittees
to
be
part
of
the
public
works.
Commission.
One
is
focused
on
water,
renewal
services,
the
second
on
climate
action,
the
the
water
renewal
services
subcommittee
from
a
staff
perspective.
D
It
would
be
really
helpful
for
staff
to
be
able
to
meet
with
two
commissioners
at
a
time.
The
subcommittee
have
those
discussions
and
then
take
that
to
the
larger
commission,
with
those
two
sub
subcommittee
members
being
able
to
represent
the
discussions
and
be
able
to
present
some
of
that
information
back
to
their
colleagues.
D
On
the
commission,
in
addition
specific
to
water
renewal,
we'd
like
to
have
the
opportunity
to
have
a
I'll
describe
it
as
a
standing
report
out
to
the
subcommittee,
because
there's
just
going
to
be
a
lot
of
information
that
we'll
be
gathering
to
ensure
that
projects
are
on
on
budget
on
schedule
that
we're
managing
risks
associated
with
some
of
the
large
expanded
expenditures
that
are
coming
there'll,
be
discussion
on
things
like
our
bond
issuances
and
so
that
information
we'd
like
to
start
to
develop
kind
of
a
ongoing
report
that
we
update
on
a
regular
basis
just
to
keep
transparency
into
the
programs
and
into
the
projects
that
will
be
moving
forward
in
the
coming
decades
and
beyond.
D
So
that
would
be
for
water
renewal
services.
Then,
on
the
climate
action
side,
that's
going
to
be
a
a
large
kind
of
catch-all
for
a
lot
of
the
work.
That's
happening
on
the
energy
front.
Waterfront
solid
waste
would
be
part
of
that.
That
subcommittee,
and
similarly
we'll
have
some
standing
information
that
we
provided
the
subcommittee
members.
But
then
there's
certainly
going
to
be
some
policy
discussion
that
we're
going
to
need
help
with
navigating
things.
D
Like
renewable
energy
policy,
solid
waste,
the
strategic
plan
that
we'll
be
developing
for
the
solid
waste
program,
so
again
more
policy
level
discussion.
D
It's
staff's
thoughts,
moving
forward
that
we
would
start
with
two
commissioners
as
this
as
the
subcommittee,
let's
at
least
just
start
there
and
then,
as
we
start
to
ramp
up
and
we
feel
like
we're
ready
to
start,
including
if
we
want
to
start
including
members
of
the
public
at
large.
We
could
potentially
do
that,
but
our
recommendation
is
to
just
start
with
two
commissioners
at
first
and
get
kind
of
ramp
up
our
process
and
kind
of
get
a
little
bit
of
a.
D
I
guess
a
pattern
going
and
getting
information
out
so,
and
I
think
that's
what
I
wanted
to
highlight
so
I'll
turn
it
over
to
chair
of
that
for
for
his
comments,
and
then
I
know
you
wanted
to
discuss
with
the
commission,
maybe
who
might
be
on
which
subcommittee.
A
A
What
would
our
expectations
and
our
requests
be
of
staff
in
helping
equip
us
to
engage
in
these
sort
of
deeper
dive
conversations?
Learning
more
some
of
the
nitty-gritty
of
these
different
topics?
A
C
G
This
may
not
sound
the
greatest.
I
am
very
powering
through
a
head
cold,
but
I
don't
have
any,
as
you
said,
fleshed
out
thoughts
other
than
this
is
very
exciting
and
welcome.
G
From
my
end,
I
feel
like
it's
very
refreshing
and
needed
to
be
able
to
have
us
be
able
to
present
back
to
the
commission
through
subcommittees,
more
deeper
level,
content
and
initiatives
and
thought,
and
so
I
just
I'm
very
excited
to
engage
in
this.
A
All
right
well
hearing
none.
Then
I
would
open
up
to
the
members
of
the
commission
who
are
here
for
your
preliminary
interest
in
participating
in
either
of
these
subcommittees.
G
C
I
too
am
interested
in
the
climate
action
group,
but
I
really
don't
want
it
to
be
too
heavy
in
one
area,
so
I'm
flexible
as
well.
I
really
like
to
dive
into
solid
waste,
but
I
don't
know
where
that
fits
into
things,
but
I
also
feel
like
I
have
a
lot
to
learn
in
the
water
area,
so.
A
Awesome-
and
we
can
take
just
a
little
bit
longer
to
consider
as
we
iron
out
some
of
the
more
specific
scope
of
work
and
identify
a
place
to
start
before.
A
We
make
our
official
motions
for
creation
of
these
subcommittees
and
I
will
work
to
follow
up
with
the
commissioners
who
are
not
currently
present
to
gauge
their
interest
as
well
and
also
recognize
the
capacity
that
we
all
have
to
contribute
in
a
in
a
useful
manner
to
any
of
these
efforts,
and
we
will
also
continue
to
learn
and
be
engaged
as
members
of
this
body.
A
Any
other
input
or
questions
from
staff
of
the
commission
moving
forward,
as
we
continue
to
continue
to
gauge
out
these.
These
ideas.
A
All
right
well
hearing
none,
I'm
really
excited
that
we
are
just
inches
away
from
officially
deep,
diving
and
hopefully
providing
some
some
much
needed
input
on
some
of
the
things
that
we
don't
regularly
have
time
to
explore
on
in
our
regular
meetings.
So
thank
you
all
so
much
for
your
interest
and
for
your
your
enthusiasm
all
right
with
that.
D
Chair
giveaway,
thank
you,
so
the
reports
were
included
in
the
packets.
I'll
certainly
stand
for
any
questions
you
may
have
within
the
reports.
I
did
want
to
note
and
include
the
commission.
We
have
the
earth
day
event
coming
up
on
the
23rd
of
april
and
that's
going
to
be
our
kind
of
remissioning
rededication
of
the
boise
watershed
to
be
focused
on
the
water
and
climate
action
center
and
as
far
as
we
know,
it's
going
to
be
the
first
of
its
kind
in
the
u.s.
D
So
we're
really
excited
about
that
and
and
that
that
official
kind
of
remissioning
is
going
to
happen
on
the
23rd.
So
please,
if
the
commissioners
are
so
inclined,
it's
a
saturday
and
it'll
be
from,
I
think
it's
11
to
2
o'clock
at
the
watershed.
So
please
join
us
and
then
I'll
stand
for
any
questions.
Y'all
may
have
on
the
the
director's
reports.
A
Awesome,
yes,
and
I
believe
that
kathy
did
send
out
the
official
invitation
via
email
fairly
recently.
Are
there
any
questions
about
the
director's
reports.
A
All
right
hearing,
none
before
we
wrap
up,
I
would
just
remind
everybody.
We
got
another
email
from
staff
request
from
the
office
of
community
engagement
for
headshots,
so
if,
by
this
coming
monday,
you
could
send
a
headshot
in
they
are
revamping
a
webpage
on
the
city
of
boise
website
to
provide
more
access
to
information
about
the
work
that
we
do
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
our
smiling
faces
up
there.
