72
00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:02,480
» Jim Taylor, 1052 Trent Drive, Middleton,
Idaho.

73
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:07,200
Honorable mayor, honorable members of
the council, I'd like to come to you

74
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,200
today to present you with a complaint.

75
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:14,800
Councilwoman Councilwoman Graner
did

76
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:19,560
at the Greater Met- Middleton Parks and
Recreation District did make spurless,

77
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:25,960
and inflammatory,
and repeated

78
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:30,040
comments against me and my family.
This was done in an attempt to damage my

79
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:33,720
reputation
and my family financially.

80
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,760
You were Well, you said you were doing
this as a private citizen and not a

81
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:47,919
member of the council.
You must remember, you're always a

82
00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:47,919
member of the council.

83
00:06:52,760 --> 00:07:01,160
The problem is that you
repeatedly and loudly wanted them to

84
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:07,320
give it to anyone but me.
This being the concession stand at Foot

85
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,320
Park.

86
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:14,400
All of this is recorded just as it is
here because of the public meeting, and

87
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:17,120
I urge the council, if they wish to, to
look into it.

88
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:24,960
Councilwoman Graner, you not only opened
yourself up to liability,

89
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:29,760
and the city of Middleton's liability,
but you were at the time an employee of

90
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:35,640
the Greater
Middleton Parks and Recreation District,

91
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:42,680
and left your job solely from your job
at the city solely to make these

92
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,680
inflammatory remarks about me.

93
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:52,240
Now, I love this city.
I have donated over 40 years of my life

94
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:56,320
doing different things for the city
and volunteered

95
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,920
and helped in any way that I could for
this city.

96
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,640
I leave this to the mayor and the city
council to deal with as they wish.

97
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:16,840
And my church, where I attend with my
wife every Sunday, we do the Lord's

98
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:20,640
Prayer.
And in the Lord's Prayer,

99
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:30,440
we said we ask the Lord to forgive us
our trespasses as we forgive those who

100
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:33,720
trespass against us.
Council member Grinde,

101
00:08:34,599 --> 00:08:37,280
I forgive you.

102
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:47,280
Questions?
>> Not at this time. Thank you very much.

103
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:55,160
All right.
Uh we'll move on to uh

104
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:59,600
our first action item
uh

105
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:03,320
which is to approve the consent agenda
items of routine administrative

106
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:06,360
business. Mr. Waldman.
>> Council, any question on the consent

107
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:07,800
agenda?
>> No.

108
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,440
» None here.
>> Hearing none, I move

109
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,240
we approve the consent agenda items A,
B, and C.

110
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:17,200
» Second.
>> Moved by myself, seconded by Council

111
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,000
member Grinde. All those in favor?
>> Aye.

112
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:22,240
» Aye.
>> Those opposed?

113
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:24,800
Hearing none, motion is unanimous.
>> All right.

114
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:31,160
Then we'll move on to item number two,
which is considering considering

115
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:36,360
authorizing the mayor to sign a letter
of intent between the City of Minot and

116
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:43,880
Knife River Corporation regarding the
anticipated upcoming amended contract

117
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:47,680
for the gavel pit gavel pit gravel pit
project. Too many peas in there. Mr. Van

118
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:51,120
Guilder.
>> Good evening, Council. Jason Van

119
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:56,760
Guilder, your Public Works Director.
As I think we've discussed this a number

120
00:09:54,320 --> 00:10:00,760
of times before, but uh
with some new members on the council,

121
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:04,720
I'm not I'm not exactly recalling what
we have discussed in detail. So, I'll

122
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:09,120
give a brief overview and I'll be glad
to answer your questions. We have a

123
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:14,040
contract with Knife River for mining of
gravel out of some city property south

124
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:17,680
of Mill Slough.
Uh that contract has been going on for 2

125
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:22,960
or 3 years.
Uh with the royalties from that, we have

126
00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:27,640
had them construct a
uh the roundabout at Sawtooth uh Road

127
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,800
and Middleton Road.
Uh

128
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:34,160
with that was sort of an advance on some
royalties for from that gravel mining

129
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:39,680
contract.
Uh they have mined out some gravel areas

130
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:43,839
that that were available to them.
Uh there's been a hold up on what

131
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,839
additional

132
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,520
» I'm sorry.
>> Okay. Okay.

133
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,640
» I'll keep going. Sorry. Private
conversation. I'm sorry.

134
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:52,320
» A a uh
there's been some discussion about how

135
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:55,920
much more area could be cuz there is
some wetlands on that property.

136
00:10:54,360 --> 00:11:01,560
Uh they have reached out to us about
about 6 months or a year ago and said

137
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:05,720
there was only kind of a little bit of
gravel left to mine out from the areas

138
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:11,880
that are currently available to them.
And uh uh wanted to do that. We also

139
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:15,640
recognized at that time that backfill
was not coming back into the site as we

140
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,240
had
we had both hoped a number of years ago

141
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:23,680
when we were entering into this
contract. So, uh the city

142
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:28,680
took a look at that and said uh it would
kind of might be in our best interest to

143
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:32,240
stop mining because if they keep mining
there wouldn't be anything left but a

144
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:37,400
couple big lakes. We'd like some areas
for some parking or some other more park

145
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:41,880
amenities as that's our long-term plan
for that area.

146
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:45,680
So, we we kind of discussed both of
those things.

147
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:50,640
Uh I have worked with our legal counsel
and their legal counsel.

148
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:56,680
Uh what we would like to suggest to you
is a non-binding letter of intent.

149
00:11:54,520 --> 00:12:02,520
The goal of this letter is to lay out
sort of a path forward with them in that

150
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:06,320
they're going to agree to stop mining uh
the gravel that's there. We will agree

151
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,360
to
uh

152
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:14,320
We will eventually This is a pathway
towards finally getting a final

153
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:18,760
amendment to our gravel land lease right
now. This is non-binding, but we we

154
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:22,280
would like to be on a pathway that will
get us to where they will leave the

155
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:26,080
gravel in place that still remains there
currently.

156
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:30,320
They will work with us and our park
designer to

157
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:34,880
uh figure out what what best how best
that area is going to be as a park with

158
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:39,200
what's there and what they can be doing
to kind of shape the area to get us in a

159
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:42,720
good position to that and so that's not
being left as

160
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:47,160
kind of a gravel mine.
Will help us uh shape how we're going to

161
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:52,200
uh
do a final gravel reclamation plan that

162
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,920
needs to get approved by ID
uh

163
00:12:52,960 --> 00:13:01,040
Department of Lands.
And then also let us work with our

164
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:06,280
engineers to our and our park designers
to to discuss the permitting and get the

165
00:13:03,560 --> 00:13:10,440
permitting kind of lined out for how we
will get that through the core and

166
00:13:07,839 --> 00:13:13,880
through the uh
uh

167
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:19,080
through the the flood plain permitting
and through the the uh reclamation

168
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:22,000
closure of that pit. So, there's a
number of things that we need to kind of

169
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:25,640
work with them on
on that. Uh we've have already

170
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,920
uh
had [snorts] two or three master plans

171
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:33,200
for that park done before we do another
one. We'd like to make sure that we're

172
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:37,160
all on the same path and that the the
the park that's going to be there is the

173
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:41,040
park that we're master planning around.
So, that was the intent of the letter

174
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:44,840
that you have before you. This has been
approved reviewed by our council and by

175
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:48,640
their council and is
kind of before you. Again, it's

176
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:52,000
intended to be non-binding, but we would
like to give the mayor authority to say

177
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:56,320
this is the direction that we would like
to be going with with Knife River.

178
00:13:55,160 --> 00:14:01,400
Uh if you have any questions, I'll be
glad to stand for them.

179
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,400
» Any questions, counselor?

180
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:10,240
» Yeah. Just real quick here.
Uh so, obviously from this we've come to

181
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:15,760
some monetary amount that's going to be
paid to them. Is that

182
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:19,120
» Yes. Uh we have we have
uh

183
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:24,240
within this there is the amount that we
agreed would be the cost of the

184
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:29,000
roundabout that they constructed.
We they have already reduced that amount

185
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:35,520
by the gravel royalties that they have
removed from the from the pit already.

186
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:39,240
Uh so, the balance of that and I don't I
don't have an exact number because I

187
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:42,200
don't remember exact number and because
they're still hauling out a little bit

188
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:47,960
of the gravel that they've already
processed. So, once once we get all that

189
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:53,000
done, that will lead us to the exact
number of what will make them whole and

190
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:59,160
will allow us to go. That money we have
budgeted in next year's uh a budget

191
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:03,480
that's been approved and is actually
eligible to be reimbursed through impact

192
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:07,000
fees because it's for a project on the
impact fee schedule.

193
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:10,960
» Okay, that's exactly where I was going.
Then um

194
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:14,080
there there I tried to read through this
uh

195
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:17,920
um receiving the gravel mining and
they're doing site grading.

196
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:21,480
The site grading is not going to be
anything additional cost-wise. It's

197
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:24,640
going to be just
part of what we're reimbursing through

198
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:29,240
uh
the the not item two roundabout payment

199
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:35,280
that there's going to be no additional
>> We have always known that uh they they

200
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:39,560
stockpiled some of the topsoils along
the back edge bank knowing that that

201
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,600
would be
ideal for kind of

202
00:15:40,590 --> 00:15:43,880
» [clears throat]
>> smoothing out some of the edges. There's

203
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:48,680
kind of a
a little artificial berm along the near

204
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:52,920
triangle uh pond that kind of needs to
get graded out. And then along where we

205
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:56,320
think there might be some beaches,
there'll probably be a little bit of

206
00:15:54,000 --> 00:16:00,920
grading to make sure that the the pit
doesn't have a big drop-off at the edge

207
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:03,240
of the water. So, no, we're not
anticipating paying them anything.

208
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:06,560
» just wanted to make sure. It didn't say
anything about additional. It sounded

209
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:10,120
like that was all part of the original
agreement.

210
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:15,080
And so, just a curiosity question, could
I hear you say that is there is going to

211
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:17,800
be a lake there at some point or is it
the areas where we're back to

212
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:22,160
» Two large water bodies that will
probably always be large water bodies.

213
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:26,480
» And the areas that we're backfilling or
absent as much backfill as we hoped for,

214
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:30,320
they'll be flat
>> We had We had uh

215
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:36,400
some hope that there would be enough
backfill just coming in to fill up at

216
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:41,560
least one of those lake areas and
provide a lot of areas for some some

217
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:46,200
feelings and some
picnic areas and and that's that's just

218
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,920
not the case of how things have worked
out. So.

219
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,000
» Okay.
Okay. That's all I got. Thank you,

220
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,280
Jason.
>> Thank you.

221
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,480
» Any other questions, Council?
>> Nope.

222
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:03,160
» Okay.

00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:10,760

we still will vote to give you the

00:17:07,839 --> 00:17:10,760
authorization to sign.

226
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,040
» It's just a letter of intent, so
>> Right.

227
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,240
» Yeah.
>> So, I will I move we authorize the mayor

228
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,640
to sign the letter of intent between the
city of Middleton and Nigh Corp

Our new South Middleton Road

353
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,680
extension.
I was always told that's right in right

354
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:42,880
out.
>> Mhm.

bound people turn left.
>> [snorts]

357

» There's not a sign out there.
So,

358

put some signs up.
>> Yeah. And don't do that.

359
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,720
You haven't recruited yet?

right out.
>> Yes. Yeah.

361
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:09,800
Just for your knowledge,
um we have had a discussion with ITD.

362
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:13,360
It's their intersection.
They they are going to come out and put

363
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:19,240
in some temporary
uh pork chop to alleviate the

364
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:22,560
misdirection of traffic. So, that should
be coming soon.

365
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,720
» All right. Good.
>> All right.

366
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:29,600
Um
let's uh move on to mayor and council

367
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,920
comments.
I'm sorry.

368
00:27:30,120 --> 00:27:35,960
» One one message for these guys.
>> Oh, absolutely.

369
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:43,240
» Yeah. So, uh all you students, listen
up. So, uh part of our community is a

370
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:47,400
formalized It's called a youth council.
And it can be from any school and ages

371
00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:53,920
from
I'm not sure. Very young up to your age.

372
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:58,600
And youth council is the youth's
representatives, like we are city

373
00:27:55,440 --> 00:28:04,680
council here, they are the youth council
for youth and related uh

374
00:28:02,120 --> 00:28:10,040
topics, issues, concerns that you as a
youth council can bring

375
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:13,120
to us as city council. It's a formalized
program.

376
00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:15,720
And they are right now in the process of
recruiting

377
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:19,480
uh
um people to be on that youth council.

378
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:24,920
You actually come to meetings. It's
formally you sit here just like we are.

379
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:29,400
And you discuss topics of of relevance
to young people in the community.

380
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:35,040
And it is a very important role. And I
would encourage anybody with an interest

381
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:38,960
in doing what we're doing at your age
to seek it out, participate. You can get

382
00:28:37,360 --> 00:28:42,640
let me know personally if you need
contact and I can let you know.

383
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:47,040
But I wanted to share that with you all.
You're all here in a captive audience.

384
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,360
So, thank you, mayor, for letting me
speak.

385
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:53,520
» Well, I I'd like to thank you all for
attending today.

386
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:55,880
Um it certainly was great to pick at you
for a little bit.

387
00:28:55,040 --> 00:29:00,560
Um

388
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:05,760
studies as you move forward. Please
remember that you are almost old enough

389
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:09,920
to vote and get involved in what's going
on in your community.

390
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:13,920
Um those of you that are seeking legal
degrees or business degrees,

391
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:20,200
Mark has pointed you in a very good
direction to help you on your way. So,

00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:23,240
please get involved and keep working to
keep Middleton the wonderful town that

00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:26,040
it is.
>> That's a very

394
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:28,520
» have a recruiter yet?
>> No.

395
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,400
Doesn't matter if it's the Air Force.
>> [laughter]

396
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:33,520
» ALL RIGHT.
WE CAN POINT YOU IN THE RIGHT WAY. WE

397
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:36,960
STILL GET HIM IN THE EVEN THE Air Force.
>> That's okay.

398
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:41,120
» But uh you know, Mayor, uh Mayor, that
was that's a great point. I mean, this

399
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:43,840
is a a fantastic resume opportunity for
you all.

400
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,520
Just a a great thing to put on your
resume. Thank you.

401
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:51,120
» Uh
>> Okay, we have a a few minutes here. Uh

402
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:56,600
so, let's uh dive into these comments. I
have a couple for you tonight. Um

403
00:29:54,200 --> 00:30:02,520
one that was brought up at the Treasure
Valley Partnership of Idaho the other

404
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:10,520
day, which is an issue with uh Bitcoin
and the ATMs that are being used for

405
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:15,400
fraud across the valley. Um we have seen
hundreds of thousands of dollars going

406
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:22,080
into these machines that are totally
wasted, um not recoverable. So, um

407
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:27,240
if you guys
find yourself in a situation where

408
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:32,400
um you're not sure
that you're talking to a

409
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:38,000
complete resident or complete
representative of a a company that you

410
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:44,240
actually know, either hang up or get
some more answers. Don't go put any

411
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:47,440
money in an ATM Bitcoin, that's going to
go away and you're going to suffer from

412
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:55,640
it.
So, we will be looking towards some

413
00:30:52,160 --> 00:31:00,440
issues with our council to
remove such devices from our community.

414
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:06,440
We also had a
discussion with uh

415
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:14,920
the Treasure Valley Partners on the
pathway etiquette and

416
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:20,600
signage situation.
They provided a wonderful trifold

417
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:25,640
advertisement for
etiquette on the green belts,

418
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:31,360
specifically to address the issue of the
electric motorcycles on the green belts

419
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:37,400
and on city streets
from unlicensed drivers,

420
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:42,240
under the age, without insurance.
So, those issues are are definitely

421
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:48,240
coming forward and we expect the
legislature to enact another law this

422
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:54,320
year to prohibit
electric motorcycles on city streets by

423
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:58,680
underage drivers. So, if you guys have
brothers and sisters that are riding an

424
00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:01,960
electric motorcycle on the city street,
remind your parents that they are not

425
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,480
allowed.
Okay?

426
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:13,240
We had an invitation from Mayor Chadwick
to attend the City of Stars

427
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:22,520
What do they call that? Uh
State of the city. Thank you.

428
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:28,440
That will be 5:00 p.m. at the Eagle
Nazarene Church in Star on the 21st.

429
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:32,640
So, if you have time and would like to
attend,

430
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:36,480
I'm sure they'd love to have you there.
A very wonderful event happened today

431
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:40,640
that
uh

432
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:44,880
has a long time in coming. Fortunately,
our our legislature has stepped up a

433
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:52,120
little bit and
uh funded a school. This is the second

434
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:56,440
school funded in Idaho that is without
taxpayer revenue.

435
00:32:54,040 --> 00:33:01,120
Um it is funded through the legislature
on

436
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:05,040
um different programs and ours.
Uh

437
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:09,080
superintendent of schools, Mark Gee, has
been

438
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:17,080
instrumental in making this uh come
forward. It's been over a decade since

439
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:21,400
our community actually approved the
purchase of a new school, but we do have

440
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:26,840
a new elementary school coming on
Kingsbury, and we were lucky enough to

441
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:31,720
attend the groundbreaking today. So,
uh moving forward with that, uh I think

442
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:37,880
that's going to be a wonderful asset the
next couple of years. Unfortunately, it

443
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:39,880
will not cure our school capacity
problem.

444
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:44,520
» Which one of them?
>> It does address the elementary schools,

445
00:33:42,008 --> 00:33:50,400
[clears throat] but let's face it,
junior high and high school are equally

446
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:57,160
affected by the growth that our
elementary schools are now seeing.

447
00:33:53,840 --> 00:34:03,240
Um the last thing I have is uh
uh I was able to attend a water college

448
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:09,679
in Boise um just this last week, which
was very informative as to how our water

449
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:14,480
is supplied from Lucky Peak through the
system

450
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:18,639
um down here to the valley. So, uh
it was great to walk through that and

451
00:34:16,639 --> 00:34:24,240
actually get a chance to speak with some
of our legislators about the

452
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:29,240
housing problems that are created
because of covering up farmland and

453
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:33,040
and uh
not

454
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:42,000
using that water
for crops but for watering somebody's

455
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:46,200
lawn which still has the same impact so
it was a [snorts] great thing to attend

456
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,200
to and

457
00:34:46,879 --> 00:34:52,679
would be more than happy to share the
information with you if you want to talk

458
00:34:50,399 --> 00:34:55,399
about it.
So

459
00:34:53,840 --> 00:35:00,040
this time let's
move on to Council comments

460
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:05,000
anything that you ladies and gentlemen
would like to bring forward.

461
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:10,160
» I'm good.
>> Just to add to the groundbreaking for

462
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:12,880
the school you know I was there with a
few of you guys and it was it

463
00:35:11,744 --> 00:35:17,000
[clears throat] was really neat seeing
the community get together that the

464
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:19,320
teachers and the different leaders of of
Star and Middleton and having that

465
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:23,760
connection and I [snorts] thought that
was like really really really neat.

466
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:28,119
I'm proud of our town.
>> We also have more city council members

467
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:32,000
from Middleton and Star.
>> [laughter]

468
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,000
» Not that it's a competition.

469
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:37,960
It is the Middleton School District just
happens to be

470
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:42,480
all the way over in Star.
Unfortunately the the growth from Star

471
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:49,280
is getting to that site faster than the
growth from Middleton

472
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:49,280
and that's just how it is unfortunately.

473
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:56,880
Absolutely. Simple.
