So this week we all need to sing 11 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:45,280 for Commissioner. >> We have a big audience here today. 12 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,040 » So at an appropriate time in the meeting.

Madame President, commissioners, and congratulations, 32 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:36,479 Commissioner Nelson. Um and congratulations, Commissioner Goldthorp. 33 00:04:33,919 --> 00:04:41,840 We uh [laughter] um in true commission fashion, you're 34 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:46,639 always one step ahead of me. So, uh, um, we do have some some cake to share 35 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:52,400 during the break. Uh, commissioners, just a couple, um, 36 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:58,960 updates for you today. Uh, in the news this week, we had EJ who who shared an 37 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:03,600 update on the Eustic 10 mile to lender project. That project is um, making good 38 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:07,440 progress. It is open one lane in each direction at this point in time, and 39 00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:11,759 we're shooting for the end of October uh, to have that project fully open. So, 40 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:17,600 good progress is being made there. Uh, we also had Aaron uh Williams on to 41 00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:23,520 speak with the statesman about the Swan Falls project. Uh, project, this is the 42 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:26,639 bridge crossing. Um, project was accelerated thanks to the federal 43 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:31,600 funding that we got for the design of that. Um, it's now in the 5-year plan, 44 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:36,479 uh, with the design to be finished by 2029. So, uh, this is the project that 45 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:42,160 spans the the railroad tracks and the and Indian Creek. um uh pretty big deal 46 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:46,320 for CUNA for quite some time and we're excited to see that project moving 47 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:52,880 forward. So, thanks to both EJ and Aaron for their uh coordination and 48 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:58,000 communication with um our local press. Uh commissioners, just a couple um 49 00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:02,320 updates on some projects that are um in the works just to make sure that you're 50 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:08,319 fully um on board with the uh what's going on. These are some larger projects 51 00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:12,400 here. Uh many of you are are well aware of the Dry Creek development that's 52 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:17,919 happening off of Highway 55 at Dry Creek Road. Um as they move into the next 53 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:23,680 phase, one of the things that's um they're ready to begin work on is the uh 54 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:28,400 crossing of Quail Valley or Brookside that extends into Quail Valley over to 55 00:06:25,919 --> 00:06:33,759 Dry Creek Roads or there'll be another um way out of the neighborhood. Um, in 56 00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:37,919 order to do that, um, and and prepare for that, they are in the process of 57 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:42,160 there's going to be a closure, a six-week closure. Now, speaking to the 58 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:48,880 good of our team, I think the original request was for 10 to 11 months, and the 59 00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:54,319 team got it down to 6 weeks. So, um that during this time they're going to be 60 00:06:50,319 --> 00:07:00,240 making uh the the realignment there right below B um of Dry Creek Road and 61 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:04,240 as well as replacing um the section between that new [clears throat] 62 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:08,720 connection and Seaman's Gulch. Uh they're also going to be building a a 63 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:13,360 new temp road there where the yellow is during the six week closure. So, um a 64 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:17,919 lot of good realignment that's will be happening out there. Um, as a resident 65 00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:21,280 that lives off in that general area, I've been visiting a lot with my 66 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:25,199 neighbors, so hearing a lot about this. But, um, the team has done a great job 67 00:07:23,599 --> 00:07:30,160 of already coordinating with the school district. Uh, luckily the students here 68 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:34,319 um, [clears throat] mostly are part of the West School District, so they're not 69 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:38,720 needing to go into the elementary school that's in Hidden Springs. Um, there are 70 00:07:37,199 --> 00:07:42,160 a couple, but they're they don't have any a couple houses that would 71 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:48,080 correspond to that, but they don't have any kids in Hidden Springs. So, um, so 72 00:07:45,599 --> 00:07:52,000 really positive thing, uh, good progress here, but just wanted to report on on 73 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:56,639 this work. And all of this is part of that extraordinary impact fee, um, and 74 00:07:54,639 --> 00:08:01,440 will be paid for as part of that process. 75 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:05,759 Uh, we also have a closure that's coming up um on Fairview Bridge. It's actually 76 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:10,000 happening today and part of tomorrow. It's it's really just a six-hour closure 77 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:14,960 in the middle of the day and possibly part of in tomorrow. Um, this is a 78 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:20,879 bridge inspection that that has to happen um and is scheduled about a year 79 00:08:18,639 --> 00:08:27,440 in advance and so we were not able to to move it. Um, but it's only going to 80 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:31,680 close it down to two lanes going uh eastbound there. Uh, it doesn't close 81 00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:35,519 the the bridge completely. We probably would have been a little bit more 82 00:08:32,719 --> 00:08:40,959 concerned recognizing we already have uh with the sewer work that's happening for 83 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:46,959 the um College of Western Idaho construction that's happening at at 84 00:08:42,719 --> 00:08:51,120 Whitewater and Fair or Maine. um that intersections closed at Whitewater and 85 00:08:48,959 --> 00:08:56,160 Maine. And so uh probably would have been a bigger deal had um it been a full 86 00:08:54,320 --> 00:09:00,240 closure of the bridge, but we do have to get that inspection done in order to 87 00:08:58,399 --> 00:09:04,399 stay in full compliance with with federal rules. Um and in order to do 88 00:09:02,959 --> 00:09:10,720 that, they have to put something on the bridge. So um but this is this is up and 89 00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:14,240 coming um today as well as tomorrow but should hopefully we won't have see any 90 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:17,920 impacts but because it is impacting one of the route ingress routes into 91 00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:21,560 downtown wanted to make sure that you are all aware of that. 92 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:36,560 Hi CJ Hancock. I'm a lead worker here at the paint striping and pavement [music] 93 00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:41,440 marking crew at ACD. I've been here for 10 years. So, the way that I ended up 94 00:09:38,959 --> 00:09:45,920 here on the paint crew was I actually had [music] some prior experience in 95 00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:52,880 Southern California. I was in the union there and when I moved here to Idaho 96 00:09:49,506 --> 00:09:57,760 [music] in 2016, I ended up applying for the job and got hired [music] full-time. 97 00:09:55,120 --> 00:10:01,760 When I first started here at ACD, I was a GEO, a general equipment operator, 98 00:09:59,986 --> 00:10:06,000 [music] and over the years, I worked my way up to a senior equipment operator, 99 00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:12,640 and then later becoming a lead worker. As a lead worker here, I help manage and 100 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:17,672 supervise a group of [music] about 20 people in our busy season. The average 101 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:22,720 day that we have consists of a lot of [music] striping. We stripe the entire 102 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:26,079 county every year. We repaint and restripe pretty much everything with 103 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:30,640 either the stencil trucks or the paint trucks. And then all the new install 104 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:34,720 goes in with thermal plastic after the chip seal or whenever [music] we have 105 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:39,200 work orders or changes. So during the chip seal season, um it's it's the 106 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:44,560 busiest time of the year. We have to start at 3:00 in the morning to 107 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:48,800 basically get all of the mains done before all the early morning commutes 108 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:52,800 start. It kind of just keeps us out of the way of the public so that we're not 109 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:57,920 causing more congestion. We try our best to stay out of traffic's way and to keep 110 00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:02,959 a mobile operation that keeps traffic flowing with as minimal disruptions as 111 00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:08,320 possible. I think that my favorite part of the job is seeing the completed work. 112 00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:12,560 Nothing really feels better than when you have pretty much a black canvas and 113 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:16,320 you get to just be an artist and [music] make everything look new again. And we 114 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,959 have a great team. I love the people I've worked [music] with. I've been 115 00:11:17,279 --> 00:11:22,399 working with them for a long time. I think the hardest part of the job is 116 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:27,920 probably training. We [music] have a lot of seasonal employees, a lot of new 117 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:32,320 traffic rovers that come and go, and just having safety [music] being our top 118 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:36,880 priority, just having everybody stay on the same page and in the way that we do 119 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:42,959 things. So, outside of work, I like to play a lot of sports. I play actively 120 00:11:39,839 --> 00:11:47,600 basketball, volleyball, flag football, cornhole leagues, kickball leagues. 121 00:11:45,279 --> 00:11:52,000 Pretty much [music] anything that you could think of, I'm out there doing it. 122 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:56,399 Keep my kids involved. Go paddle boarding, hit the water, staying busy, 123 00:11:54,480 --> 00:12:01,320 staying active. Those are probably some of my favorite things to do outside of 124 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,320 work. 125 00:12:01,839 --> 00:12:08,240 Commissioner CJ is really a great example of ACD and has always impressed 126 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:12,240 me. From my very first meeting with him, he was talking about ways we could make 127 00:12:10,639 --> 00:12:17,279 things more efficient and more effective. It's truly a good example. 128 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:21,680 Um, and it's apppropo. Last night I had the opportunity, not last night, the 129 00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:25,760 night. Well, I've kind of lost track because I got up at 2 in the morning 130 00:12:23,279 --> 00:12:33,040 yesterday uh to go out with our paint crew. Uh truly a wonderful team. We were 131 00:12:29,279 --> 00:12:38,480 able to um uh prepare and and get it set up as well as then mark out um the 132 00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:43,519 intersection of Locust Grove and Pine. It was one of the last ones um they had 133 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:47,839 from Chip Seal to of the larger intersections and the whole crew was out 134 00:12:45,279 --> 00:12:55,760 there uh making those changes. I'll tell you it definitely impressed me um as you 135 00:12:52,079 --> 00:12:59,600 have cars whizzing by at 30 40 mph. I watched a dump truck go by or or a 136 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:04,639 garbage truck go by. I'm sitting here going, "Did you not see the 50,000 cones 137 00:13:02,079 --> 00:13:07,920 we have out here?" Um, so truly they they they are focused on safety and 138 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:11,760 making sure because they are in the middle of traffic in some of the busiest 139 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:15,120 intersections. We even identified maybe some ways to make that even safer while 140 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:21,760 we were out there. So, it was a really great um opportunity. But, uh, as I went 141 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:26,399 to bed the night before at at 6:00 at night, I realized the sacrifices, um, 142 00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:30,079 these guys make as I'm saying good night to my family and I'm going to bed while 143 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:34,880 they're going to still be up for many hours and and the sacrifices they make 144 00:13:32,399 --> 00:13:39,279 during the summer in order to do the job and to make sure that, um, they're safe 145 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:44,720 as well as the public continues to to move. So, uh, great experience there. 146 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:51,040 Uh, just a couple statistics on our our paint crew. uh just in July and August 147 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:58,160 alone they striped over 1,100 miles um and installed in in August alone 1,800 148 00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:03,360 pavement markings which is a 55% increase over last year um just just 149 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:09,120 tremendous amounts of work the team is doing very well um and continuing to 150 00:14:06,639 --> 00:14:12,560 make it you know for me I told them it's a sense of pride when I drive around and 151 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:15,920 I see the brand new paint on the road I'm like look at what they did look at 152 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:19,279 what our guys are doing and it just shows up somehow in the middle of the 153 00:14:17,279 --> 00:14:24,959 night. You never you never actually see it happening. They're just doing it. So, 154 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:30,320 um kudos to to them for that great um for the great work they're doing. 155 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:35,600 A couple of agenda items that are up and coming. Um uh we will have next week for 156 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:39,839 you. Today you'll hear about the 5-year plan. Next week we'll have the bid award 157 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:45,120 for the Eert Bridges and Roundabout. Um, as you may have seen from the the report 158 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:50,240 that we sent out, um, it came in well under, um, our initial estimates. So, 159 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:55,040 uh, really pleased with that. Um, as that's moving forward, we'll also have a 160 00:14:52,079 --> 00:15:00,079 a work session on micro trenching, um, with the 5-year plan adoption later this 161 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:06,240 month. Uh in October, we'll be bringing back to the second phase of our slow 162 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:10,480 zone pilot program um with where we're looking at the central bench for a slow 163 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:14,240 zone. Um and and our team will introduce that and what we're looking at doing 164 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:18,000 there um in and around some of the schools up on the bench. Um as well as 165 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:25,120 we'll be bringing back the next iteration of our our development policy 166 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:29,040 um for consideration and conversation. Uh commissioners, you can see obviously 167 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:33,920 a lot of things are up and coming. Uh next week we will have our all staff on 168 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:41,519 Tuesday at the Adams broom shed. Um this will likely be one of our last at the at 169 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:46,720 Adams. So um as we get ready um next year to move into the new location 170 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:50,959 um as well as we will have the chipsil celebration. You'll also see a number of 171 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:55,360 open houses and open streets events and other public events that are up and 172 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:59,680 coming. And with that, commissioners, I'm happy to stand for any questions. 173 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:08,240 » Commissioner Gold. >> Yes. Uh, so I I watched CJ 174 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:15,519 sprinkling all the uh beads down so that everyone would be able to see those uh 175 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:21,519 stripings while we while it rains or any chance that that he was the guy on 176 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:26,560 with the little canister of beads on a skateboard being dragged behind one of 177 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:29,680 the paint trucks that did the regular striping. I'm just kidding here. 178 00:16:28,406 --> 00:16:32,959 [laughter] I think our trucks actually do that. 179 00:16:31,759 --> 00:16:37,199 » The trucks do that. >> Yeah, they right right behind the paint 180 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:42,320 there's there's beads that are falling. Um and so yeah, the our our our paint 181 00:16:39,839 --> 00:16:46,720 our striper trucks do lay the the glass. >> Take a little video of that to show 182 00:16:44,079 --> 00:16:50,639 people that, you know, email us and call in and complain that we don't do any of 183 00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:56,399 that. [laughter] >> I I'm sure we have some good video of it 184 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:58,079 already, but uh um it's a good point. >> Madam President, 185 00:16:57,279 --> 00:17:02,000 » Mr. McKenny. >> Uh, director, just one quick question 186 00:16:59,839 --> 00:17:08,079 then on on the striping issue. I've had a number of residents who have uh asked 187 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:11,679 questions or expressed concerns about places where they believe after chip 188 00:17:09,839 --> 00:17:16,319 seal that crosswalks weren't put back in. Who do they need to contact to uh if 189 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:20,720 they have that concern? >> Yeah, they absolutely can just reach out 190 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:26,880 through ACD Connect and that will get it to the right people um and we'll be able 191 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:30,080 to confirm that for them. Madam President, Commissioner, 192 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:35,840 » and there may be Sorry, Madame President. Um there will be uh they're 193 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:39,919 still working on the markings, so they're not fully done for wi with all 194 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,799 of those and so some of those may still be in the works. 195 00:17:42,559 --> 00:17:47,840 » Sure. >> Pickering. 196 00:17:44,559 --> 00:17:52,240 Um, director Head, I don't mean to ask a question you're not may maybe not 197 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:59,440 prepared to answer um because it's kind of ITD2, but there's been a lot of uh 198 00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:07,280 challenges with congestion at peak hour leaving downtown on Front. Um, obviously 199 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:13,919 there's we've got the closure on Fair View, a few other pieces. Front Street 200 00:18:09,919 --> 00:18:18,720 is not our jurisdiction, but it's pretty challenging. I was just curious, do we 201 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:22,960 have an assessment of what exactly is going wrong there? Are we working to fix 202 00:18:21,039 --> 00:18:26,240 that flow a little bit better? Kind of what's your what's the team's assessment 203 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:30,240 of that? >> Madame President, Commissioner 204 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:36,480 Pickering, I think your your analysis is probably um appropriate in terms of the 205 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:41,919 impact of having that closure. um it is pushing traffic onto whether it be State 206 00:18:39,039 --> 00:18:47,039 Street or or front um for people trying to exit downtown. So um I will 207 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:53,760 definitely ask to the team to to look at that to make sure that there's um 208 00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:57,760 nothing that's that's um wrong with the equipment um and making sure that the 209 00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:03,679 signal timing is appropriate, but it may not be. We are already um pretty maxed 210 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:09,120 out. We have double cycles on on Front Street to for for the through traffic. 211 00:19:06,559 --> 00:19:14,640 Um and so I think any additional traffic's probably being noticed um with 212 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:18,720 the people being pushed off of Fairview. >> Well, I noticed Oh, sorry. I I also 213 00:19:16,799 --> 00:19:23,280 noticed that it, you know, got considerable considerably worse, you 214 00:19:21,679 --> 00:19:27,919 know, around start of school time because I think if I think it closed a 215 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:33,039 few weeks before, right around so it really hasn't gotten as bad up until 216 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:38,640 recently. And so I'm just wondering if >> what's changed 217 00:19:35,039 --> 00:19:42,720 » um you know is it truly Yeah. And it's also backing up on 13th. So there's I 218 00:19:40,559 --> 00:19:48,080 mean even the corridors to get to front are taking you know 10 15 minutes to get 219 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,799 to through one light cycle. >> Yeah. Madame President, Commissioner 220 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:56,320 Pickering, one of the things that changed in the last few weeks is they 221 00:19:52,880 --> 00:20:01,600 the closure moved from between 27th and and Whitewater to in the intersection. 222 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:08,080 So those who would have used white water to to get onto the connector um 223 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:13,679 previously are now being forced onto roads like like 13th Street um to be 224 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:17,520 able to get on the connector sooner. So um that's I think a big part of what you 225 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:22,240 might be seeing there. They're either there or on onto Curtis. Those are the 226 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:25,840 two options to get there. Um and I think that that's pro probably what you're 227 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:28,559 seeing. But we'll uh we'll take a look. It might be worth I mean I know 228 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:32,640 Shandandy you have enough on your plate but from a communication standpoint and 229 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:36,559 also working with the city to make sure that folks kind of understand because 230 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:41,679 I'm seeing a lot of you know frustration and people care right and it's coming 231 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:46,320 out in I think very loud ways um but I think just kind of being clear about 232 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:49,360 this is a system we don't have control over we only have control over certain 233 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:57,360 parts of that right and we need to work together to figure that out. Thank you 234 00:20:54,159 --> 00:21:03,760 Nelson. Yeah, I uh took me about a half hour to get through downtown last week 235 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:08,559 and uh I was wondering if we could um maybe have Compass at the appropriate 236 00:21:05,919 --> 00:21:11,360 time give us an update on the congestion management system report that they do 237 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,880 every year >> to see where we're seeing recurrent 238 00:21:13,039 --> 00:21:20,080 congestion and then what what's the trends? I've been really kind of curious 239 00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:23,760 about that. So, there's a good time that someone there could come at a maybe a 240 00:21:21,679 --> 00:21:29,120 work session at some point and give us an update. Um I'm very patient person I 241 00:21:27,360 --> 00:21:33,600 guess but [laughter] uh I was really curious on with the 242 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:38,960 growth particularly in downtown and other parts of the county are there um 243 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:42,960 what can we expect in terms of recurrent congestion would be good to share. 244 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,960 » Yeah. >> Yeah. 245 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:51,520 » Any other questions or comments for the director? 246 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:55,600 All right. Thanks for a great report and we will be at ease until noon. 247 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,000 11. 248 00:32:10,307 --> 00:32:14,399 » [laughter] >> What the hell 249 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,240 radiation or chemo. >> Yeah. 250 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:25,120 » All right. Good afternoon everybody. It's now 12:00 and I will call the 251 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:28,399 commission meeting to order. Thanks to everybody joining us in person and 252 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:31,559 online and please join us in the pledge of allegiance. 253 00:32:33,039 --> 00:32:41,519 » I aliance of the United States of America to the 254 00:32:39,919 --> 00:32:47,799 stands and under God, indivisible, with liberty 255 00:32:44,799 --> 00:32:47,799 and 256 00:32:49,519 --> 00:32:54,480 » All right, the first item is to adopt the agenda. Is there a motion? 257 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:57,200 » So moved. >> Second. 258 00:32:55,519 --> 00:32:59,679 » All right, we have a motion. >> He wasn't. So, 259 00:32:57,919 --> 00:33:03,679 » is there any discussion? >> Seeing none, all in favor? 260 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:07,840 » I Okay, motion carries. Next up is the consent agenda. Items on the consent 261 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:11,360 agenda are considered to be to be routine and will be enacted by one 262 00:33:09,919 --> 00:33:15,440 motion. There will be no separate discussion on these items unless a 263 00:33:13,039 --> 00:33:18,480 commissioner citizens so requests in which case the item will be removed from 264 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:22,240 the consent agenda and placed on the regular agenda. All consent agenda items 265 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:26,159 are commission action items unless noted. I don't believe we have any 266 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:28,640 requests on the consent consent agenda today. Do we have a motion? Madam 267 00:33:28,159 --> 00:33:31,840 President, >> Commissioner McKenna, 268 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:36,000 » let me first note that this is a long consent agenda, longer than typical, but 269 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:38,720 I believe most of it has to do with the fact that we recently passed a new 270 00:33:37,279 --> 00:33:43,840 budget and so a whole bunch of things are happening right now because of that. 271 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:48,399 So, I've looked through all of these and it all looks in good order. I move that 272 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,159 we approve the consent agenda as published. 273 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:54,399 » I'll second. >> We've got a motion and a second.

Uh it's actually on 313 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:19,839 the Popular Street portion of that. Uh the owners of the property are 7250 314 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:28,000 Popular Street owners. They named it after their address. Um, this project is 315 00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:35,440 part of ACD's adopted 2026 to 2030 5-year plan. Construction is scheduled 316 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:42,160 to begin in fiscal year 27. This side, this vicinity map shows the 317 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:48,800 location of the acquisition. You can see Cole Road over there on the west side of 318 00:39:45,599 --> 00:39:53,520 the acquisition. Uh, our acquisition is just on the north side of Popular 319 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:57,320 Street, about one or two properties in from Cole Road. 320 00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:07,040 Here is a a closer zoom in of the property. Uh, in this case, the 321 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:10,040 acquisition is a temporary construction easement. 322 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:19,200 The property size before the acquisition is 2.470 acres. That property size 323 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:26,000 remains the same because this is only a temporary acquisition. The temporary 324 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:32,000 construction easement is 2,121 square ft. The property is zoned as 325 00:40:29,599 --> 00:40:35,000 residential urban or a multifamily residential. 326 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:43,599 The offer package was sent in July of 2025. 327 00:40:40,720 --> 00:40:50,400 Um we have had ongoing negotiations with the property owner and if the and in 328 00:40:46,240 --> 00:40:56,880 August of this year staff ACD staff both legal and rightway has been in contact 329 00:40:53,119 --> 00:41:02,480 constant contact with the uh property owners legal council. We are close to a 330 00:40:59,839 --> 00:41:06,560 resolution. However, due to the project timelines we need to move forward with 331 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:11,359 the condemnation. It is staff recommendation that the 332 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:17,440 commission declare that the acquisition area as necessary for the project as 333 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:22,480 rightway and public use. Authorize staff to proceed with the condemnation action. 334 00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:28,240 Execute an order of condemnation for the acquisition area.

Following our uh 405 00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:53,920 the updated or the draft initial draft of the five-year with those updated 406 00:49:50,079 --> 00:49:58,160 statuses as well staff invited uh partner agencies if there were uh 407 00:49:56,079 --> 00:50:02,559 interesting of meetings or any had any questions regarding any any of their 408 00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:08,000 list. Uh we were more than happy to to meet with them. Um one uh the city of 409 00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:12,960 Maria invited staff to attend one council meeting and city of voice 410 00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:18,400 invited at a staff level uh meeting to discuss some of the projects listed in 411 00:50:14,720 --> 00:50:22,960 the p participation list. Uh this slide we highlighted what uh some of the we 412 00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:27,280 highlight we summarized the project program in relations to their top three 413 00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:32,720 uh projects listed in the prioritization list with 37 of those projects having a 414 00:50:30,240 --> 00:50:37,040 construction year associated with them and 15 of those projects having at least 415 00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:42,160 one of the phases whether it's design or right or rightway acquisition phase 416 00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:47,440 listed in one in in in there in the prior decision list. 417 00:50:45,119 --> 00:50:51,680 And sorry, just to note, and I didn't know if you were going to mention this, 418 00:50:48,720 --> 00:50:56,400 the we did receive a letter of support um from Ada County and in response to 419 00:50:54,400 --> 00:51:00,640 the draft plan just indicating their gratitude for the work of the 420 00:50:58,240 --> 00:51:04,720 recognition of the work that's happening >> and the projects that we are doing for 421 00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:07,960 them. >> Yes, absolutely. 422 00:51:09,839 --> 00:51:16,800 Now move forward to the recommended changes following the initial draft 423 00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:22,880 commission. After uh the review of all the feedback received um in uh further 424 00:51:20,319 --> 00:51:28,559 review of the initial draft uh staff recommends that uh identified that the 425 00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:33,520 Boisey Hill Drive 7th Street Mesa Grande Lane be added to the initial draft and 426 00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:38,559 add construction to 2029. uh this is a project that uh in the past 427 00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:44,079 it uh it was identified as an RPI project but was deemed that it needed to 428 00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:50,880 be more uh from the capital side. So we move it into the plan due to uh that 429 00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:55,359 evaluation consideration. Um then uh another addition or modification to the 430 00:51:53,599 --> 00:52:01,760 plan which was already part of the priority quarter list is the addition of 431 00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:06,960 a design year to the lake hesil uh extension. Considering that city of 432 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:14,079 Boyise uh received a bill grant for that work, we ACDA is supporting those those 433 00:52:09,599 --> 00:52:20,640 efforts uh and considered that uh it was necessary to start uh showing those 434 00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:25,040 dates or those years in deadline. >> Um let's go back to that for a second. I 435 00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:27,839 I believe we've talked about in the past this build grant that the city of Boise 436 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:31,920 received, but I don't recall the details. Could you review that for me? 437 00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:36,000 What did what did Boyisey receive? Is it just for design? 438 00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:40,880 Madam, give me the rundown on that. >> Madam President, Commissioner McKini. 439 00:52:37,599 --> 00:52:44,640 Absolutely. Uh the bill grant um that the city received was focused on the 440 00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:52,880 design work for the Lake Heso extension from Orchard Street to Heisenment. Uh 441 00:52:47,359 --> 00:52:59,440 this focuses solely on the on the on the on the 100% design needed for that 442 00:52:55,760 --> 00:53:04,079 border. Um I think as part of that brand AC committed to a certain match that was 443 00:53:01,839 --> 00:53:09,200 discussed earlier this year but those are the details that were present 444 00:53:07,839 --> 00:53:14,640 » sorry I thought it was more of like a concept like theoretic was design 445 00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:18,800 » they can add some elaboration to that madam president commissioners so they 446 00:53:17,119 --> 00:53:23,680 will need to go through the initial concept um alignment um because it's a 447 00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:29,839 federal grant there'll also be NEPA and other other components connected to that 448 00:53:26,720 --> 00:53:34,800 um the intent is to take it to um as far in the design process as possible within 449 00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:40,800 the 7 million that they receive 7 million with the match combined. Um and 450 00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:46,079 so with that they plan to take it as far as possible in the design process. Um it 451 00:53:43,599 --> 00:53:51,040 should be at that point in time um fairly far along that we could begin the 452 00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:55,520 rideway phase um and move further with the project. 453 00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:58,640 » Members, go ahead. And since is did we receive any other recommended 454 00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:03,440 recommended changes from other city partners? 455 00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:07,920 » Uh the from conversation with staff most of the uh 456 00:54:06,240 --> 00:54:11,920 short answer is no. There was no specific additions to the initial draft. 457 00:54:10,079 --> 00:54:17,680 Most of uh of the conversation was related to their uh prioritization list 458 00:54:15,599 --> 00:54:22,960 request. For example, city boy requested the addition of uh LA and Alpine 459 00:54:21,359 --> 00:54:25,839 intersection in terms of prioritization of this. We're 460 00:54:24,240 --> 00:54:30,800 » um considering the work that they have done in that area, but beyond that 461 00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:35,359 project, there hasn't been any other specific that would be recommended to be 462 00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:39,200 added the initial draft >> that would include Garden City or 463 00:54:37,119 --> 00:54:42,720 Meridian. Commission. Well, 464 00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:46,040 » Alex has pretty much covered what I was going to ask. 465 00:54:46,827 --> 00:54:48,847 » [clears throat] 466 00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:57,599 » Now entering to the key dates and milestone commission. Uh we still uh 467 00:54:55,440 --> 00:55:03,280 have a comment per partner agency all the way to the adoption hearing. Welcome 468 00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:09,520 any feedback letter of recommendation from them. uh and uh 469 00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:14,319 we will share it with the commission as soon as we have received any uh line of 470 00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:19,760 communication from the from any of the partner agencies. Um following today's 471 00:55:17,119 --> 00:55:26,480 meeting, we'll be releasing the draft 27 2031 5-year plan for public review uh in 472 00:55:24,079 --> 00:55:32,559 preparation in leading towards the adoption hearing on September 23rd when 473 00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:37,440 the commission will be able to uh take it under consideration. So, uh, with 474 00:55:34,720 --> 00:55:40,000 that, I will I present for any questions. 475 00:55:38,319 --> 00:55:45,440 » Thank you, Edmonson. Are there any other questions? Commissioner Nielson? 476 00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:49,680 » Yeah. Um, Ed and I have lots of paper on the five-year plan, lots of project 477 00:55:47,119 --> 00:55:53,520 list, but what I don't have, and you summarized it, so it must exist of which 478 00:55:51,839 --> 00:55:58,640 projects are in design versus construction or what phase. I have 479 00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:03,359 title, I have a description, I have a year, I have all but I don't have a 480 00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:08,160 phase. So if there's some summary of that that can be posted. I I know it 481 00:56:05,599 --> 00:56:12,160 exists but that's where I'm trying to ascertain the and some of them I just 482 00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:17,920 know because I I designed but I I don't I can't see that 483 00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:22,400 in what I have. So that summary could be provided and then the second question um 484 00:56:20,799 --> 00:56:26,079 I don't recall the exact number it's very large but uh in approving the 485 00:56:24,559 --> 00:56:32,640 budget we didn't approve specific projects but there was an amount. So, 486 00:56:27,839 --> 00:56:37,440 are we with this change dialing in with the budget amount that was approved 487 00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:40,559 » for the capital projects? Does that make sense? I mean, 488 00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:45,280 » Madame [clears throat] President, Commissioner, um, with the cap with the 489 00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:47,920 budget, you did adopt a capital budget. >> Yeah. 490 00:56:45,599 --> 00:56:51,760 » Um, and that capital budget include included a list of projects that were 491 00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:56,640 Okay. Um, that are currently scheduled for the first two years. The five-year 492 00:56:54,240 --> 00:57:02,160 plan includes those first two years and then three more years after that. Um so 493 00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:10,000 we we reflect exactly what was adopted in the in the budget in the five-year 494 00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:13,680 plan um in those first two years. >> Just a followup, Madam President. So 495 00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:16,640 with the savings on eert, for example, is that going to be a future 496 00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:21,119 recommendation or are we just going to wait and see? Um 497 00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:26,880 » yeah, Madame President, Commissioner, um we we typically will look uh account for 498 00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:30,559 those during um budget adjustments. >> Yeah. 499 00:57:27,359 --> 00:57:35,520 » And the the good news and the bad news on on Eert is with those savings, a lot 500 00:57:33,599 --> 00:57:40,240 of those are grant funds that are going to be saved. So, um those those right 501 00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:45,119 those funds don't necessarily come back to us. They're but so there'll be a 502 00:57:42,799 --> 00:57:47,760 reduction in revenue as well as an expense. 503 00:57:45,839 --> 00:57:52,960 » Thanks for that reminder. Yeah, opportunist 504 00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:58,079 » just more of a comment and I think it's really 505 00:57:54,480 --> 00:58:03,040 great to see how one obviously like a letter from the county. We've never 506 00:58:00,799 --> 00:58:08,319 since I've been here haven't received something like that in support for the 507 00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:13,760 five-year plan. And then also to have such small change. I mean, these are 508 00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:17,200 obviously very impactful changes, but they're kind of no-brainers, right? 509 00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:22,160 that's very like oh we just learned more this is going to be more capital we had 510 00:58:19,359 --> 00:58:25,280 factored in this grant so I think that I just I feel like I feel compelled to 511 00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:30,720 share like I think that that's obviously a reflection of the team's work and the 512 00:58:28,319 --> 00:58:34,480 you know intention around centering priorities 513 00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:40,559 working closely with our municipal and county partners um obviously no one's 514 00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:44,720 ever it's never perfect or no process is perfect no one's 100% satisfied but some 515 00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:48,640 of those projects folks were very happy with the fact that they were on her. So, 516 00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:53,920 I just wanted to make sure that I acknowledge like the process and the 517 00:58:52,160 --> 00:59:00,880 outputs and the outcomes seem to be working and great job. 518 00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:06,720 Any other comments or questions? All right. Thank you so much, Robinson. 519 00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:14,839 Appreciate it. Uh, next we will have executive session. So, 520 00:59:10,559 --> 00:59:14,839 anybody else again next week?
