Paul Paul, do we have a thumbs up?

Umday evening, and guess what?

The air conditioning is working, so you should all be happy, right?

Anyway, we're gonna start off with what I feel like is the most important uh agenda of any council meeting, and that's gonna be the invocation and the pledge of allegiance, and that's gonna be done by Pastor Monty Sears with the Christian Faith Center.

I'm hearing feedback, is that somebody else's voice?

Okay.

Anyway, go ahead and come up, Pastor.

And we'll all stand, please.

All righty.

Let's pray.

Dear Heavenly Father, we come to you this evening in Jesus' name.

Father, we thank you for the greatest nation under heaven, America.

And God, we we thank you for one of the greatest communities in America, Nampa, Idaho.

Father, I thank you for the heritage that we have as a city, a state, and a nation.

And Lord, I personally uh I I've known the mayors personally over the years, and I want to thank you for raising up amazing leaders to lead our beloved NAMPA.

Each and every mayor has left a legacy, a foundation to build upon.

So, Lord, we honor them tonight, and it is with tremendous excitement we look forward to our future under the capable leadership of our new mayor, Darl Bruner.

God bless him, his family.

We thank you, Lord, for our police and fire departments, our first responders.

We pray that you would protect them and their families as they protect us.

You said in your word in Psalms chapter 33, verse 12 blessed is a nation whose God is the Lord.

The people he has chosen for his own inheritance.

I pray that you'd continue to smile upon our great city, Nampa, Idaho, this community, its leaders, and its people.

Please grant wisdom, protection, provision, peace, as we follow your sacred word, and honor your proven values.

And Father, I ask in Jesus' name finally that you would bless this Nampa City Council meeting, and I pray this in the matchless name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.

Thank you so much.

As you see, as you see behind me, I'm gonna be re-reminding in my next year and a half.

In God We Trust.

So but our uh sovereign God is looking after Napa.

I'm confident of that.

Okay, we're ready for roll call.

Gog.

Present.

Here.

Bills.

Reynolds.

Here.

Rodriguez.

Griffin.

Here.

I'll present.

Okay.

No proclamations tonight.

So I'll let our clerk announce the uh public forum.

Mr.

Mayor, regarding public forum, I did want to announce that we reached the maximum number of signups allowed for public forum, and they are being shown as Napa residents.

So we will be calling the individuals based on the order of sign ups, and some may not be called upon due to the maximum allowed.

Okay, thank you very much, madam clerk.

I did make one exception to this.

And you if you want to let me have it later, it's because of an age demographic.

But we have a 10-year-old young man that uh called me this afternoon and said he had written out his statement.

He did not make it here in time for the top five, but I told him he was going to be able to do it.

And Ezekiel Garcia, Mr.

Z Ezekiel Garzia, you're up front, please.

Thank you for your passion.

Okay.

You can take it out.

Yeah.

There you go.

My name is Ezekiel Garcia, and I live on Malad Drive and Rain Tree Subdivision in South Anampa.

I believe that cutting the funding from the library is very unnecessary because of one thing being that books are very expensive nowadays because of inflation.

And if we lose library funding, a lot of people will lose books or lose money, and that would ruin many lives.

Books are important because they keep you informed so you can be an educated citizen and know what you're voting on.

And without books, people don't know what they're voting on, and we're not having a true representation of the people.

Also, the library gives kids the option to be smarter without this.

They just are without this, they just believe whatever their teachers tell them.

The library also can only hold so many books.

If you cut the funding, though we can't get back book, I mean, then we can't get books from other libraries, and the hatchet is one book that we do not keep on hand readily available in NAMPA.

In fact, from my reading list, there are four books.

All of them had to be requested from other libraries throughout the state, and that's just for a sixth grade reading list.

So am I supposed to buy every single book when I have a library that's supposed to have these options?

These aren't new books, they're older than my mom.

You can take funding from other places or spend more money on the libraries, but cutting the funding makes no sense unless your goal is to have stupid citizens.

Thank you for listening.

Ezekiel, where are you attending school coming up in the fall?

Uh well, I'm attending school at Holm at 360.

Where are you taking your courses from?

Oh, um, I forgot.

I think I think uh Mrs.

Garcia, you said Arizona State, is that correct?

Yeah.

So can we be proud of this 10-year-old that's already taking college courses?

Thanks.

Yeah.

Very well done.

Thank you, Ezekiel.

Appreciate it.

Madam Clerk.

Mr.

Mayor.

Thank you.

Mr.

Mayor, um, I'll start going down the list.

If someone has called and they are not here, then we will go to the next person in line.

And they do have three minutes, and please announce your name and address.

Our first speaker is Melinda Parker.

Thank you.

My name is Melinda Parker, and I live at 816 17th Avenue South.

Mayor and Council members.

My name is Melinda Parker, and I'm a tax-paying citizen of District 3.

I'm here today to remind you of the cultural capital that is the Napa Public Library, a valued common good in our community that serves all who live here.

In 2025, the NAMPA Public Library logged more than 724, 700 and 274 physical visits and circulated over 708,000 physical items.

The library saw a 34 percent increase in adult participation of programs.

And the youth and family attended 409 programs at NAMPA Public Library.

In challenging economic times, NAMPA relies more than ever on the library's services and programs.

Whether the library is gifting books to early readers, leading summer reading programs for youth and adults, hosting cultural events and art exhibits, inviting AARP to assist with tax returns, or sponsoring senior exercise programs.

The NAMPA Public Library is at the core of our community in the vital heart of our downtown.

Thank you for your past support of the NAPA Public Library.

We are here to implore you to continue that support and increase it as our city grows and the people you serve look to the library for the best NAPA has to offer.

We are here to ask that you fully realize the common good embodied by our library.

Thank you.

And thank you to all who showed up to support the library.

Thank you.

Just uh just for just protocol for council hearings.

Your support is wonderful for whoever's speaking, but as far as clapping, yelling, shouting, it's just not the proper protocol for a council meeting.

So I will ask you to refrain from that.

Okay.

Next.

Mr.

Mayor, our next speaker is Myra Deonda Hernandez.

Hello, good afternoon.

My name is Myra DeNda Hernandez.

I'm a community school coordinator with the Federal Programs Department in the Nampa School.

Your address, please.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Thank you.

1212 Williams Lane, Nampa, Idaho.

I'm a community school coordinator with the federal programs in the Nampa School District.

I support Endeavor Elementary, which is a K through five elementary school with around 600 students enrolled, the majority of them living in North Nampa.

A community school is a school that's designed to meet the needs of students and families.

Community schools seek feedback from students, families, and staff on what they need or what they want.

We then collaborate with them and community partners to provide opportunities to meet those needs.

With this feedback, we created opportunities and spaces for connection.

Earlier this year, we began hosting gatherings out in the community, and we saw a drastic change in attendance.

Our first community outing was in partnership with the Nampa Public Library.

The library brought over reading passports to our school.

Teachers explained to the youth, teachers explained the youth reading program to the students, gave them a reading passport, and we set up a date to all meet at the library and explore it together.

Laura Abbott, the public services manager, helped facilitate this event, making it a smooth and easy process.

Students who met the reading goal got to pick a prize, participate in fun activities, and explore the library.

I recall families mentioning it, mentioning to me that it was their first time at the library or that they got their first library card while they were there.

In total, we had over a hundred students and families show up and connect at their local library.

This would not have been made possible without the staff who prepared the reading passports, drop them off at our school, organized activities, and manage the tables and library during the event.

A few months ago, some federal program employees teamed up to tackle the summer slide that many students experience over the summer.

Like any skill without continuing to practice reading over the summer, many of our students fall behind in the progress they make throughout the year.

We came up with a creative approach, which was putting books out into the community where the people are.

We reached out to our partners at the library, specifically Jeanette Leroy, who's the outreach manager, and Kelsey Kay, who's an outreach specialist.

They both do amazing work by driving the bookmobile around and meeting community members where they are.

They were excited to work together and support the literacy of our NAMPA children.

Together, we created literacy kits for over 500 children in NAMPA and placed them throughout the community in places like the NAMPA Housing Authority, a neighborhood works property called Gateway Crossing, and the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge.

These items are available to all NAMPA children with the goal of helping maintain reading throughout the summer.

The work of the library goes beyond the building located in downtown Nampa.

The library is a resource that we need to support and partner with in creative ways to bring more awareness to the amazing work they do out in our community.

Cutting funds is not going to enrich or strengthen our NAMPA community and youth.

There's power and knowledge and power and community, both of which our NAMPA community members deserve complete access to.

Next, Madam Clerk.

Kristen Tom.

Hi, I'm Kristen Tom.

I'm a NAMPA resident at 12370 White Chapel Way in South Nampa.

I'm also a downtown business owner, so here on both accounts here.

Here to speak also in support of the NAMPA library and ensure the original budget cut proposed to cover cost of living adjustments for staff does not make it into the final version of the budget.

From recent communication with a few council members, it sounds like that budget cut will be avoided, which we will all be very thankful for.

But we want to make sure and urge you to move forward with no cut to the library budget here and without needing to cut staff or programming to enact the cost of living adjustment for city employees.

More than two-thirds of Nampa residents, I'm sorry, more than one third of NAMPA residents currently hold the library card, and the facility and services provide vital resources for children, teens, families, at risk community that suffer from lack of resources elsewhere.

On a personal note, the library is an important resource for my 93-year-old grandfather.

He's part of the greatest generation or the silent generation.

He takes both of those names to heart.

He's a man of few words.

But the library every two weeks is the one social outing that he looks forward to with Gusto.

We always make sure that we have it on the calendar for him and that he's gonna make it there.

Got a stack of books, brings it in, but more than that, it's a community space.

It truly is.

He loves coming home and telling us what kids were up to at the library, who he saw there, what the latest art or history uh displays up at the library were.

It's such an important part of our community here.

As a business owner in downtown Nampa, I just have to throw this out there.

Every time the library has one of their tons and tons of major events, we see more people downtown.

That means more people coming to our businesses.

It really does bring people downtown.

It's an important cornerstone of our downtown.

And I'd further register emphatic support of remaining in the Lynx Consortium.

This was discussed last week at a meeting, and you heard from Ezekiel a few minutes ago.

Uh, this Lynx consortium is uh a support uh or I'm sorry, a cooperative agreement between the uh Southern Idaho libraries where CARD members can access resources and facilities across those libraries.

This is a really important piece to expand the breadth of our library system and how much our residents here in NAMPA can get.

Uh, some city council members seem to think this was unnecessary and left uh NAMPA subsidizing non-residents, but really the reciprocal benefits that we in NAMPA receive from this are huge, as you heard from Ezekiel.

Absolutely vital.

It massively expands the scope and breadth of our library through this cooperative agreement.

Please hear us today, go listen to the stories outside of how much this community loves our library and wants to continue the support there.

We want to go forward with no cut to budget and making sure that we are supporting our library and our librarians.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Madam Clerk.

Our next speaker is Amy Michaels Lichenham.

Good afternoon.

My name is Amy Michaels Lichenham.

I live at 149 North Yale Street, two blocks left of here, uh, west left, same.

Um I come with many positions.

One is I am your Idaho State Legislative District 12 chairman.

So I am in front of our mutual constituents on a regular weekly basis.

I am also your precinct 311 uh committee person.

I am a homeowner that helps pay the taxes.

I am a local author with my books in the library.

It is really important to us that our readers are able to reach our materials.

And we donated those, over 40 local authors just this last spring, donated hundreds of books for free to our library.

Um I do want to take a moment to publicly and personally thank you, Councilman Rodriguez, for your phone call and your outreach and your willingness to work with us.

And we understand that it's not all completely just the cut, because I believe what I understand is that the cut was only the 12,000, but what we're looking for is trying to mutually find a way to fund the library so that we can maintain our current staff.

Um if there's a way that we can work together, we really desperately want to keep that staff so that we can keep those programs.

And then uh Councilman Griffin, thank you also for your email.

I remember my daughter making uh posters for you in middle school at West, and I'm really proud of you to see you up here.

So everything I had planned to say has already been said, and I know that you guys already know all of the statistics and the numbers.

And in the 25 years that I've lived here in NAMPA, when I first moved here, we didn't even qualify for community development block grants.

And so that just shows so much growth, and I'm so proud of us as a city.

Um, and I'm almost kind of shaking because I'm so passionately excited about this.

And please, I hope you hear us, and let's work together to try to find the funding in order to keep our staffing as best as possible.

Thank you.

Clark is this our final uh speaker?

Yes, Mr.

Mayor.

Our last speaker is Lucy Prebe.

Hi, I'm Lucy Preebe.

I live at 3431 Southside Boulevard, Nampa.

Okay.

In May of this year, the Columbia Science Olympiad team needed t-shirts for a stake competition, which was only a few days away.

With limited time and money, we decided to make them ourselves with the cricket machine that the NAMPA Public Library had recently made available to the public.

I never used one before, but over the course of three hours, four different library employees helped me throughout the process of using the app, tools, and the older computer it was paired with.

Needless to say, without the assistance of the consistently patient, determined staff and the free public resources they provide, the t-shirts would have never happened.

And this isn't an isolated experience.

The library's programs, resources, and employees are an integral part of this community.

Last council meeting's discussions of reducing library funding hits particularly close to home for so many people because the library is such an important part of growing up and living in NAMPA.

Even when considering to simply remove programs not intended for children, the council overlooks the importance of the library as a third space for all ages.

The myriad of programs that accept all ages allow adults to better themselves and gain new skills.

Not only does the library offer programs for fun like dance, theater, or learning to play guitar, but they also provide avenues to learn skills that increase employability for adults, which benefits the community as a whole.

The library also offers kits with which you can learn skills from cooking to identifying constellations.

These programs provide free, equitable access to education, skill building, and social connection, all of which are vital in an increasingly digital age.

Involved citizens are better citizens, and literate citizens are better citizens.

Creating a space where learning is based on exploration and choice creates the backbone of a learner who associates the act of reading and learning as fun and exciting.

The library creates a low-cost opportunity for community and a third space centered around bettering yourself.

Decreasing personnel exiting the Lynx consortium and decreasing programming removes avenues to incentivize literacy.

The Lynx consortium specifically allows greater access to reading materials without the burden of cost on just the NPL.

Links allows Idaho readers access to niche topics without every library in the area needing to make additional purchases on materials that may not be checked out frequently, but prove vital when trying to understand as topic area.

It isn't unfair for someone in Caldwell to act access NAMPA resources because we are equally able to access theirs.

Not only that, but communities with higher literacy rates report lower rates of violent crime and increased economic stability as literate adults are more successful in the workforce.

More than 60% of all prison inmates in the US are functionally illiterate and patients with low literacy face higher hospitalization hospitalization rates and increased health care costs because of difficulties navigating medical forms and prescriptions.

Funding literacy saves the city money on social programs later on and decreases cyclical poverty and protects the citizens of NAMPA.

Personally, I would much rather have a non-resident access lit library materials for lower costs than end up struggling their entire life.

So, Council, I ask you to protect an institution designed to incentivize literacy and therefore continue to make NAMPA a better place.

Thank you.

Lucy, you got six minutes of content in three.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you all for uh your willingness.

I know that sometimes uh takes a little courage to get up there, but you all did very, very well appreciate that.

Okay, uh amendment agenda.

We do have uh one announcement before the council votes on adoption of the go ahead.

Yeah, two, I'm sorry, thank you.

Thank you.

She's gonna keep me in line and I two two announcements.

The first one is uh proposed amendments to agenda is I item six five Grace Bible.

Is anybody was anybody here for Grace Bible?

Okay.

Anyway, that's not going to be heard tonight.

It's being rescheduled to September 8th, 2026 due to non-compliance of property posting by applicant.

The other announcement is 6-4 Prescott Lane.

Anybody here for Prescott Lane?

Okay.

Anyway, there uh we will not have a verdict on that till six o'clock, where the council will vote.

Uh, as far as the developer has asked for a continuance to November.

I bet that'll be voted on at six o'clock, and we will move that public hearing up first so the vote will take place so you don't have to wait any long any longer than you have to if it's not going to happen tonight.

So all right.

Any questions on that?

No, we're good to go.

Okay.

All right.

Now we're uh ready for the uh adoption of the agenda.

Mayor.

Yes.

If I could pull two items off the consent agenda.

Okay.

Representative Griffin.

One for A and one for D, please.

Council, do you need to review that first?

One for A and one four D.

Okay.

And you just those are just the authorized and you or you're aware of public hearings.

Correct.

So your rationale for polling those?

Well, council pro or mayor, if I could, uh I think we've continued the discussion every time we have a public hearing of maybe we should stop having public hearings until we have a discussion.

So as we continue to keep authorizing hearing after hearing, which is growing and growing the city out in and everywhere without having a a plan of what's the direction desired by this council, uh, I think we should hold on authorizing another public hearing to that date until we're able to have a workshop or a discussion to figure what we're going to do in terms of development.

Well, Mayor.

So the reality is if council wants to put a moratorium on applications, then council members should request that be set on the agenda to establish a moratorium and but to continue to take applications and for them to go through planning and zoning and then come to us for authorization to now have a public hearing with council and to be uh stopped at this stage is inappropriate to the person who's making the application and doing all the the work.

It's uh inappropriate for plan zoning commission to hear a hearing if council has thoughts otherwise.

So if if that's a direction or a majority of council is wanting to go, uh I think it's important that we do it in a fashion that is providing proper notification and proper date sensitive of when such moratorium would be going into effect.

So mayor, if I could I think I think pulling uh individual deals off uh without uh treating everything consistently would be uh inappropriate.

The quick question and uh I'll get back to you, councilman.

Uh Christie or whoever could announce have these have these uh have they already been notified or thank you, Mayor the applicants uh have the mayor have the applicants been notified of their public hearing date?

Yes, yes, they have they've already been notified.

Okay, go ahead, thank you.

Well, then that opened up another piece for me.

Why are we authorizing something that's already approved?

Why are you saying that's approved?

The public hearings already approved.

She said they've already received notice of their date of the public hearing.

Why would we even go through the authorization process because our ordinance specify uh a procedure to be followed that if uh an applicant submits, there's a procedure and a date certain uh set and and staff has responsibility to respond accordingly, and our ordinance say if uh planning zoning uh approves or doesn't approve, and the case of what the annexation and zoning is about goes on to uh city council, and so our ordinances are already provide for the procedure.

So if people are only following the procedure, we're now looking to interrupt the procedure and establish a different procedure uh in the third quarter.

And so uh that part seems inappropriate to me, and it doesn't seem like it follows our ordinance.

Madam Clerk, we'd like to you would please.

Uh mayor uh councilmember Griffin.

Uh and I I will defer to Preston, um, our city attorney, but um we are not required to put the um authorization for public hearings on the agenda, but we have been doing it.

We have historically been doing it just as a way to notice the public again.

It we provide try to provide as much opportunity to the public of what is coming up at the next meeting.

Mayor, if I may, um there's also another practical point to it.

It allows council to know how many public hearings will be on a single night.

So if there's another matter you feel there may be too much, you may move to move it to another.

Um, but uh city clerk uh uh Ms.

Tim is correct.

Um there's not a an ordinance or statute that requires it, but it's more of a practical operation um agenda management practice we follow.

Mayor, if I could then, and I'll withdraw having it pulled from the consent agenda for an actual vote since it's procedural in nature anyway.

Uh I would strongly encourage that we have a workshop to discuss two issues, a moratorium and mitigation fees as soon as possible if we could.

I think just tonight we have 1400 homes potentially or doors getting approved tonight uh prior to this discussion happening.

I think it's important that we have this beforehand rather than keep kicking the can down the road.

Okay, and let me go ahead and then and our chief of staff clay long is is that potentially uh we've hit we've had a request.

Is that would that be able to be happened before the August 3rd in our next council meeting?

No.

No.

No, I just heard a no from our president.

So okay.

Anyway, we will look at a date forward and uh inform the council.

Uh uh Mayor.

Yes.

Um we had uh at length discussions on mitigation fees.

Um I think two meetings at least, if not three.

Yeah, I wasn't a part, but I read about those.

Yes, and uh our legal provided an opinion.

It wasn't something that we felt comfortable doing legal-wise.

Uh I'm not willing to discuss it again.

Uh it was something that was gonna get us in trouble.

And um the uh moratorium, I think was a legal opinion as well.

I don't believe it's legal um unless we have a a reason.

So anyway, uh I think that uh if legal could provide us with uh an opinion in uh that would be fantastic.

Mayor, if I could.

As case law evolves, which it does, there are differing opinions on mitigation fees since the last time we visited, and I think a conversation is warranted, and I would encourage that we invite other attorneys that have implemented mitigation fees to give us their perspective as well.

Mayor, if I may, on that point.

Not not to be combative or anything, but um other attorneys do not owe another a duty of care or uh loyalty to the city.

Um if you want to hire another attorney, that's your prerogative.

Um there's times and places to get a second opinion.

Um whatever the council mayor's wishes are, I'm happy to weigh in on it.

We did have a good at length discussion.

I have actually visited with those attorneys from other jurisdictions.

Happy to have a discussion, whatever the council's will is um on that point, but just thought I'd make that clarification.

Okay, and we'll make that decision not at this council meeting tonight, but uh in the next few days as far as uh merit for a workshop.

Mayor Booner, yes, yes.

Um I I I think number one, the attorney issue um is this the more we come to terms with other agencies and other attorneys, the better the result.

That's why I agree with uh uh uh uh councilman Griffin on that issue.

If it doesn't go, it doesn't go.

But we've got to give it and we owe it to the community to do just that.

The second thing is uh I am in favor of this because it benefits our community.

So we need to take a good look at it.

Whether it passes or not is a whole different ball game.

It's a decision of the council, but I think we deserve the community deserves us to thoroughly look through this growth issue.

And what councilman is griffin is is is going toward is making it easier for our community.

So I agree with that a hundred percent.

Okay.

Any any further discussion before we move?

Yes.

Um, since I was not elected at the time of this deep discussion, evidently that happened.

I too would like to have a presentation and have a discussion on this topic.

Okay.

Mayor.

We're I think I figure we're gonna know what right.

Just because it was noted uh that there were a lot of um developments that were coming before us tonight, just six four that prescott that that was moved, correct?

So we're not voting it hasn't we will be voted whether you're gonna continue it or not.

Correct.

So that's that'll happen at six o'clock.

Okay, thank you.

Okay, no further discussion.

So then again, that uh date and time if we decide on a workshop will be worked out and it'll be up to council, I guess whether you attend or not.

So we'll move on.

All right, so we got a need to vote then on adoption of the of the agenda.

I move that the uh to adopt the agenda as presented.

So moved.

Second roll call.

All an aye.

I'm sorry, all in favor say aye.

We don't need a roll call.

We'll move this along.

Okay, consent agenda, same thing.

So moved.

Second.

All in favor?

Okay.

All right, still we have time before public hearing, so we can go ahead and move on to uh action items.

Mr.

Mayor, yes.

I know this might be a little out of line.

Um, but uh due to the huge number of uh residents that showed up tonight they care about our library.

I was wondering if you could have our chief of staff give a quick synopsis on what we did on Wednesday at our budget hearing and what the process is going forward for our public hearing, just so everybody's on the same page and and they know what's there any appro a problem uh legal with with that not being on the agenda.

Um one piece is we usually have staff communications noted up.

We will we will have staff communications before the action items, but um that would be the best time to do it.

Um we could shoehorn it in, it's not like a public hearing where there's a affirmative vote.

I think would be okay.

Our common practice though is to notify the public just so they can tune into it, but I think it'd be okay to have that.

But I would recommend during it uh have it done during staff communications.

Okay.

Isn't that where we're at on the that's where we're that's actually where we're at.

I I made it I made the mistake as far as uh omitting that.

So since Clay Clay Clay Long Chief of Staff, since you're already up, thank you, Mayor Council for the record, Clay Long Chief of Staff.

Um so to recap back from Thursday, or excuse me, from Wednesday, we had discussion on the library budget.

Um the motion that was made was to remove the 12,000 doll that was allocated for parking because NDC had decided to not charge city staff or library staff for that to discuss purchasing policy to ensure that it's following uh the policy that the city uses, and then for us to work with library staff to identify items that could potentially be reduced in the ask for the FY27 budget and come back during the council workshop in August for council to take consideration on those items.

This would be during the public hearing on the 17th.

Correct.

Okay.

Mayor, yes, just uh a double take at it.

For perfect clarification, only 12,000 was withheld from the budget.

That's correct, almost thank you.

And it's been replaced by another budget by another entity.

So there's really the effect is zero.

Currently, there's no cut to libraries.

That is that there's no correct.

So what is in discussion is the increase from the FY26, what's been requested for 27, but no decrease or cut from the actual budget.

Okay.

Thank you very much.

Appreciate it.

Now we're ready for our next uh staff communication, which is going to be Jennifer Vanderpool.

And I understand this is your first time, no pressure, right?

Okay, this is this is parks and recreation staff communications update on city aquatics programming.

All right, my name is Jessica Vanderpool.

I'm the aquatic supervisor for the city.

Uh so I am in charge of all the aquatics facilities.

So all the pools at the rec center, Lincoln Pool, Lakeview Water Park, as well as the two splash pads.

So I'm honored to present today about a few exciting programs in the aquatics department.

Um the aquatics is a lifelong skill and one that opens up many doors.

Uh I love creating opportunities for people to have fun in our pools and our splash pads, but beyond that, um my personal goal is to create effective water safety awareness.

Uh the following two programs that I'm going to present on uh really focus on ways our department encourages water education and promotes water safety.

So the first one is called Safe Swim.

So May is Water Safety Awareness Month, and so I wanted to provide a program that highlights the importance of all components of being uh safe uh before our outdoor pools opened opened for the summer.

So prior to being the aquatic supervisor, I was actually um a paramedic for Ada County Paramedics.

Um and so I just wanted to create a program that would merge water safety with public safety.

So Safe Swim is a free event that we do at the very end of May in preparation for our outdoor pools being opened.

We focus on all aspects of water safety.

So we're eight we were we're able to partner with many organizations to bring a well-rounded interactive special event.

Uh if children participate in each of the six water safety stations, they get a free pass to one of our outdoor pools.

So we do Sun Safety, which is presented by St.

Luke's, uh, Canal Safety, which was presented by Nampa Fire, uh, inwater skills, which was presented by our aquatics uh swim instructors, but then we also talked to the parents while the kids are in the water about how to be water watchers and how to keep their kids safe.

Uh we do hands-only CPR and how to call 911, which was presented by Canning County Paramedics, and they brought an ambulance out onto the pool deck, and kids could go tour the ambulance.

Uh boating safety uh brought to by uh Canning County Sheriff, and they also brought a boat out for the kids to play with in uh and life jacket safety, which was uh the Coast Guard Auxiliary came out and did life jacket fittings.

Um Idaho has many water uh fun water related activities, but we have a drowning rate that's higher than the national average.

So my goal was continuing to continuing to get the word out about how to be safe in on and around the water.

So I have a little video to show you um what our event went, what our event was like so this um uh May was our second time doing that event, and it was very successful.

So I'm pretty proud of that event.

Um another program that I wanted to present to you is about the American Red Cross Centennial campaign.

So in 2014, the American Red Cross celebrated 100 years of providing water safety and drowning prevention.

And so they started a campaign that focuses on reducing drowning rates in high risk communities by providing accessible swim lessons and training opportunities.

So because of uh the recenter and the city's positive relationship with the Red Cross, they came to us and asked to partner with us.

Um so the city of Nampa is the only representative in the state of Idaho for this centennial campaign.

So it's a five-year partnership that provides discounts for swim lessons as well as lifeguarding and CPR classes.

Uh each year we're able to provide a hundred and seventy-five scholarships to adult and children for swim lessons at a discounted rate.

Uh so since starting our partnership with the Red Cross in April, we've already issued 82 scholarships, and a majority of them have been people who have never taken swim lessons before.

So that's kind of the true purpose of uh the campaign.

Personal story, we had a mom whose stepson um passed away from a drowning incident, and so she had initially chosen to never have her kids participate in any aquatic events at all.

But due to the scholarship, it encouraged her to sign up for um swim lessons for her kids, and I think that that'll be a life-changing um opportunity for her kids.

So that was pretty cool.

Um our swim lesson program is very successful.

Um, however, we identify that there are many barriers that make it difficult for people in the community to access swim lessons.

So, aside from price, transportation is another barrier.

So we've partnered with a local daycare to offer swim lessons at a scholarship to those children.

So the daycare buses the kids to the pools, and then we offer swim lessons to their kids.

I love how this campaign creates a bridge and bridges the gap that provides programming for people who would not normally participate.

So here's another video to show you our swim lesson program.

Sorry about the audio on those videos, but at least it gives you a really good idea of what's going on.

A picture says a thousand words.

Uh, but yeah, the next steps for our program, um, I'd love to create a partnership with schools where we can bust kids in from schools into the rec center and offer even more swim lessons without the barrier of uh transportation.

So in conclusion, I'm excited about the programs we offer um and the emphasis on water safety education, and I look forward to building relationships with the community to continue our goals of keeping people safe in on and around the water.

Thank you.

Jennifer, that's exciting.

You you did very well.

I see I know you've been a public speaker before by that, but uh anyway, just thank you for what you're facilitating and also partnering with Red Cross and Metro School District.

Can I just correct?

Are you sure?

This is Jessica.

Jessica.

You know Jennifer.

This is the I'm her sister.

This happens every day.

I'm gonna just tell you the banner poop every day.

We look the same, people's the same person.

It's all right.

I'll say what I've been doing when I call somebody the wrong name.

I I repeat it five times and it finally maybe.

Okay.

There you go.

Now you'll never forget.

Mayor.

Mayor.

Thank you very much.

Jessica, really quick before you go.

Um, the safe swim program, the water safety one.

How do people learn about that for next year?

I'm assuming you're gonna do it next year as well.

Yes, the plan is to do it every year.

Um, we advertise, put stuff on Facebook, Instagram.

Um, so yeah, that's and we did a press release as well.

Okay, so is that the city page or is that the parks page?

Just so we can let people identify it.

I think I'm not for sure if we did it on the city page.

Did we do it on the it's just on the NAMPA parks and recreation?

Thank you.

Yep.

Thanks, Jessica.

Any other questions?

How about that?

Just a quick uh before I know Crystal's coming up.

No, you're you're fine, Jessica.

I just wanted to uh recognize uh councilman uh emeritus Martin Thorne that's here, slipped in.

You can just raise your hand.

Okay, good.

All right, appreciate you.

Can you make a statement and just uh can you can we wait till the communications okay?

If it's okay with legal, you you can Martin go ahead, Crystal.

Awesome.

Uh good evening, Mayor and Council.

My name is Jessica.

Uh for the record, Crystal Craig, director of the city.

No, you're Jennifer, I know.

Okay, go ahead.

I know I had one Jennifer sometime up here.

I have a few things to uh update the council members on today.

The first is an incident that happened on June 26 of 2026.

Um, as most of us NAMPA residents know, there was a 100 year storm event.

We received 1.13 inches of rainfall in 17 minutes.

Um I'm not gonna actually go through the report, but I did provide that in the council packet for anyone that is interested.

The second update I had for council is regarding a potential project.

Should the council um deem funding for that moving forward.

I know that during the June workshop, there was a just under a million dollars of capital projects that was reduced and has a potential for being reallocated to another project at the time.

We had been public works had been told that they would like to we council would like us to come up with a potential project for uh deferred maintenance.

This is the project that we have come up with.

Also, in the last budget uh workshop in July, there was just over a million dollars of operations fund that also has the option of being reallocated.

This again is that same potential project.

The project we've come up with is Davis Avenue.

We're calling it the Davis Avenue Corridor.

It's between Midland and I'm I'm gonna call it Northside, it's right where Northside becomes Yale.

Um this project, in order to redo the pavement as well as the ADA ramps, and in order to rehab the pavement, we have to upgrade the ADA ramps as well.

Um and in and uh replace the water infrastructure, any of the aging irrigation infrastructure, and then rehab the sewer if necessary, would cost about 3.5 million dollars.

So council um in the potential cuts has come up with about 2.1 million dollars of it.

I broke it up into different sections.

The the green section all the way to the right is arguably the worst for um pavement condition.

That's gonna be almost a million dollars, about $900,000 if they opt to do the orange section in the middle.

Um, that's you know, just under about 1.8 million dollars.

Um that has new water lines, so it would just need new irrigation, the sewer rehab and new pavement, and then the blue all the way to the right is in the best condition as far as pavement condition, um, but the pipes there are still 50 to 70 years old.

So I know this will be an ongoing conversation for projects.

Uh our city staff has already started the design on this, so we will have a shelf ready design should funding become available for immediate deferred maintenance.

Mayor question.

Yes, Council President.

So, Crystal, uh how does this work gonna tie in to the Midland Davis intersection redo?

Timing timing wise, etc.

What what's your thoughts there?

Mayor, Councilman Bills.

Um, so we have that that Midland Davis project that's currently under design.

We're not planning to build that for another two years.

Um, so should this project advance ahead of that one?

We will stop it right where that that signal is going to tie in at on the Davis side.

And then the build grant, which I'm gonna talk about next, should fix some of the pavement on the the east side right at Yale, but it should not extend onto Davis Avenue.

Okay, thank you.

Any other questions on that before I move to my next one?

Ending on a happy note.

You can bring your pom poms.

Okay, go ahead.

Very, very excited.

Uh also uh it is my privilege and honor to report out on our latest grant um award.

We it is for almost 23 million dollars.

Um, it was a build grant.

We called it the North Side Corridor Community Community Connectivity and Safety Improvements, which is a big mouthful.

So in the in the grant, we actually called it NC3 was our acronym for it.

Um this extends roughly from on the north north side at north side and fourth, um, the north end of the project, all the way down to 7th and 12th.

And I'm gonna go over briefly what each of the different phases and what this grant will get us.

Should council decide to accept the grant.

First, why this matters, it's a highly competitive grant.

There were over 1,200 applications nationwide, and only 127 of those grant applications were awarded.

Two of them were in Idaho.

Ours was the largest in Idaho.

It's a national investment.

16 billion dollars was requested, only 1.74 billion was awarded.

Um that almost 23 million dollar award um got got um 92 percent of the maximum award, which was 25 million.

And as I mentioned before, there were two Idaho grants, one for the city of Boise.

That was for the extension of Lake Hazel south of the airport.

That was a planning study grant in the tune.

I think of about 5.6 million, and then ours, which was a capital construction.

So this will get us all the way through design, right-away, and construction.

So finished product at 23 million dollars.

So phase one is the first project that we will start on.

This was designed as part of our RAISE grant.

Um this will install a signal at North Side and Forth, as well as replace our the aging um bridge.

It's a one-lane bridge over Broadmoor Avenue or Broadmoor, I think it's Avenue, Broadmore.

Uh that is the road that connects our water renewal facility, our streets, and our fleet facilities to the rest of NAMPA.

It is NAMPA's only one-lane bridge.

It was Crystal's personal goal to get this bridge replaced when I accepted this role uh almost four years ago.

Uh I was like, why do we have a one-lane bridge in an urban area?

Um, and we were able to design it at zero cost to NAMPA residents through the RAISE grant, and then if we decide to accept this grant, we'll be able to build it at zero cost to the NAMPA residents, which is really awesome, as well as installing um an RFB, the Flashing Beacon Crosswalk along the Indian Creek pathway to get people from 6th Street and 4th Street across uh the street in Broadmoor.

Phase two is also currently under design with a grant.

It is a safe streets for all grant.

That grant will only get us to 30 percent.

So the build grant will pick up the project at 30 percent, take it through final design, and then build it.

This will modernize the intersections at second street south and third street south, where they intersect with North Street.

It will add um additional storage to that free running right on the southbound movement over by uh Fred Meyer, as well as allow for two through lanes at North Side and Third, um, which will allow us to greatly improve the capacity of that intersection and the storage links associated with that.

Um, you'll see new pedestrian ramps at all of the corners, um, and then we'll really um be able to, like I said, improve the traffic flow and attach those two signals to our traffic management center.

And then last it will install a RRFB, so a new pedestrian crossing at Smith and Yale Street to get people to the NAMPA City Hall safely.

That additional lane, I should note, will terminate around Hudson Avenue.

So you'll you'll be able to have two through movements going southbound, and then they'll have to merge back into that one lane.

And then last is phase three.

This is also currently under design with our safe streets for all grant.

This only got us to a concept level, so this grant will pick it up at concept, finish it through final design, purchase all the right-away and build it.

Um this will install a signal at 7th and 7th, where NAMPA just had its first fatality on this corridor not too long ago, uh tragically.

It will improve all of the ADA ramps along this entire one mile section right here, um, as well as get us new pavements, new infrastructure, pipes, um, things like that, and allow for roads roadway lighting at the intersections.

So, project timeline.

This is a massive, massive project for us to put in it into perspective.

Um, in the past four years since we started doing our own grant writing here.

NAMPA's received 30 about 34 million dollars in transportation grants.

This one is for 23 million dollars in addition.

So this is a massive project for NAMPA, um, especially for transportation.

So, phase one, like I said, it's shuffle ready.

It'll probably take about six months to get through all the grant paperwork with the federal government, um, but we're hoping to be in construction mid-27, so this fiscal year.

You guys will be seeing it come as an amendment.

Uh, phase two, which is that north side's second and third section.

Um, we're planning to finish the planning and environmental, um, start right away and finish final design through 28 and then construct it in calendar years 29 and 30.

And then phase three will follow along right behind that, just a little bit behind with construction in 2030 and 31.

Uh, we didn't do this alone though, so I I can't take all of the credit here.

Um, we hired two consultants to help us through the grant writing process.

Burgess and NIPL did some of the writing, HDR engineering did our benefit cost ratio for us.

We had great help and leadership through our metropolitan planning organization, Compass, as well as LTAC.

Um, and then we have a phenomenal grant writer writer, Sheila Gibson.

She really spearheaded this is her first large award.

She's very, very excited.

And then we had a ton of letters of support from uh agencies and and commun and community members throughout.

So Crystal, what is it?

What's LTAC L H T A C who are they?

It's the local highway technical assistance council.

They manage the manage the federal projects.

Um it's like an offshoot of ITD almost.

All right.

And I just want to repeat this is the city is not matching.

There's no matching with this grant.

It's total of federal grant coming with no matching.

And I think you're getting the indication.

I'm glad you folks stayed a while.

I think you're getting the indication that there are infrastructure needs in NAMPA.

And a lot of them are below the streets that you're not noticing.

So we're we're 135 years old.

This council and a lot of these department heads.

We're gonna do our best to work work this through.

And uh and if we can get a few more grants like this, Crystal, like maybe maybe next year we'll get another one.

We're on it.

Okay.

Great job, sir.

All right, thanks.

Great job.

Mayor questions for her at all.

If I could, Mayor, uh, we had previously discussed this, so it shouldn't be out of left field.

With this grant, is it going to be taking up all of our staff's time implementing this grant, or was there some funding built in for it to be outsourced and continued elsewhere?

Mayor, Councilman Griffin, you bring up a great point.

Our city staff does not have capacity to take on a grant of this magnitude.

Um we built in costs to hire a consultant to help us manage his project into our grant request.

Thank you.

Yes.

Uh Mayor Councilman Rodriguez, are we speaking about North Side Boulevard going up towards Carcher Boulevard?

Um, so um count uh currently North Side um Boulevard between 2nd Street and Carcher is um widened to its full build out.

However, we are doing a roundabout at Northside and Carcher.

That will that's planned for fiscal year 27.

Um, so we should start construction on that soon.

That will be our largest roundabout to date.

It is designed to handle doubles to go through that as opposed to the single tractor trailer through that, and then we will be widening to the north.

We received a grant through the EDA to get that widened all the way up to Birch, and then we have a project that's currently in design to widen all the way to Cherry.

So after those projects are complete, we will be widened from Cherry Lane south to second street.

So just to reiterate the North Site Boulevard intersection that connects in the carcher that will ultimately become a roundabout.

It has the one lane will it become two lanes on both sides after that project's completed heading south of Northside?

It will have two lanes going north and south all the way up to Birch, and we will connect to the next project.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Appreciate Crystal, your good work.

Uh Martin, you're we've already already had our public forum, so not on the agenda.

Is this something that we could make copies of and distribute to the council that you have?

Legal, legal if I may, Mr.

Mayor.

Um it would be helpful to know the substance of it.

Um if that could be disclosed here, it may be uh something's distributed later.

Martin Martin to come up quickly and tell us what the substance is and then legal make a decision.

You know, I I'll I'll be the bad guy.

Martin Thorne, 8168 Limberloop Drive, Nampa.

The reason I wanted to be here to enter into the record of the city, the passing of an outstanding citizen.

Ken Harward passed away Friday.

And I think it should go into the record, all of the contribute and all of the things that he did for the city of NAMPA.

Amen.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Martin, thank you.

And if you have Ken Harwood, I imagine there will I don't like the word obituary, but that's a lot of those these days.

And you need to read.

He was amazing what he has done done for the city of NAMPA.

And uh, and we continue to benefit from what he provided.

So thank you.

Okay, we have one more uh communications before we go to public hearing.

Christy, you're on, huh?

Uh yes, thank you, Mayor.

My name is Chris Me Christy Watkins.

I'm the principal planner for the planning and zoning department.

Um Doug Kritchfield and I will be splitting this.

He's gonna do the comprehensive plan um presentation, and I'm going to give you the update from the last planning and zoning commission meeting.

They recommended for approval the final plat for Deer Flat Ranch number two.

And they recommended for approval the final plat for Lakeview number one.

They also granted an extension for a conditional use permit of an existing RV park.

They're going to be adding 50 or so sites to their current park.

And then public hearing items, they granted a conditional use permit for home occupation firearm sales at 1024 10th Avenue South.

And they approved a conditional use permit for an a custom truck fabrication facility on 11th Avenue.

And then the last thing that they did was recommend approval of a project coming forward to you in August for a development agreement modification, a rezone, and a preliminary plat for Springshores Common, which is on the northwest corner of Cherry and 11th Avenue North.

So with that, I will pass this on to Doug, and he will talk to you about the comprehensive plan.

Did you have any questions about any of those projects?

Can't get into too much detail, but no, okay, thank you.

Rodney spoke to you two weeks ago about the vision themes that we've uh came up with out of last summer's work.

Uh tonight we just wanted to go over quickly the two additional subjects and then we'll finish off the rest of it over the next two council meetings.

Um the third uh element of the comprehensive plan was the vibrant and social economic centers.

And uh this was intended to build on downtown uh NAMPA's historic character, small business vitality, local shops and so forth, to encourage mixed use redevelopment where we can and employment areas and to celebrate local landmarks and cultural spaces in NAMPA.

Um and so uh out of that there were three objectives that uh the uh focus groups came up with.

Uh the first one was business growth attraction and retention.

Uh and the um the out of those objectives um there were uh initiatives that uh they suggested that we do to to be able to do this work, and one was to convolve uh cultivate a business business friendly environment.

The second one was to strengthen strengthen business retention attraction and regional partnerships, and the third one was to support entrepreneurs and startup businesses.

Um the second objective was entertainment, arts and culture.

Um the suggested initiative is to expand entertainment, arts and cultural venues and family-oriented gathering spaces again where wherever we have the opportunity to do that.

And thirdly, uh the draft objective was to access local destinations and uh create multiple mixed-use activity areas across NAMPA.

Uh the intent is really to try and get people out of their vehicles if they're living adjacent to mixed use, they can walk to services rather than get in their cars to do that.

The uh the fourth uh focus was enhanced parks, open space, and natural areas to expand and connect NAMPA parks, trails, and green bells to provide recreation entertainment amenities for all ages to protect the natural systems that support NAMPA, including our groundwater soils, open spaces, habitat, and uh manage floodplains and sensitive areas to ensure safety and environmental health.

Uh there were five objectives uh out of this principle of this focus area.

Uh the connected pathways and trails involves uh developing a connected system of pathways.

We heard that a lot when we were out last summer talking to people and their I want to commend the parks department for the great work that they are doing to start to link up our trail system.

Um secondly was open space and agricultural preservation and to promote um stewardship of open spaces and to preserve agricultural land as much as we can by uh by developing infill and avoiding large lot development on the fringe.

Uh the third was to enhance our urban natural areas.

And uh, this is a shot, for example, of 10 mile creek from highway where highway 16 crosses over.

Uh we've already created a system out here called the waterways district in the Highway 16 specific area plan.

And we we uh would encourage uh and monish the council uh in our planning effort to ensure that wherever we have waterways so that we take advantage of those as as much as we can to promote uh the health of the waterways as well as the community that utilizes these areas and um the the uh uh to expand these natural areas into the subdivisions or have subdivision access to these natural areas uh wherever we can.

The fourth um oh excuse me, and to encourage opportunity to support parks and open space in natural areas.

The fourth one was equitable and access uh accessible facilities.

Um so what that means is for the initiative is to provide accessible and welcoming, inclusive and safe spaces for people of all ages, abilities, and ethnicities together socialize and recreate.

Uh the Napa Rec Center does a wonderful job at doing that, and we would uh emphasize encouraging that going forward.

We excuse me, we had a question come up about what is equitable and accessible mean.

And um in the document, uh it's it indicates an intentional effort to ensure that we're providing public facilities for the entire community.

Uh and within those facilities, it's a reassurance that everyone has equal opportunities for access and that the facilities address the needs of the target audience.

Um, for example, uh a park that's located in an area and underserved area based on parks and recreation department service delivery standards.

Uh we would uh emphasize that the play equipment has elements that appeal to a wide spectrum of abilities, including autistic, handicapped, or developmentally disabled, as well as those who do not have those needs, and we would encourage that as well in in subdivision development uh as they develop parks so that uh the appeals to the greatest audience.

Um and so uh the last one is sustainable maintenance and in operations, and again I commend Cody and his staff uh just to continue to maintain our parks and open spaces in a sustainable, sustainable and cost-effective manner.

Um so with that, uh those are the issues.

Uh, there are any questions, are we moving in the right direction?

Mayor.

Yes.

Thank you for that.

Um, the enhanced urban natural area that you spoke on.

Yeah.

If water is available for uh a project coming forward, will you guys include that in the packet for us or staff communication so that we're aware of that?

Uh certainly, absolutely.

Yes.

That would be helpful.

Yeah, thank you, Mayor.

Take that into account.

Thank you.

Any other questions?

Mayor Bruner.

Yes.

Um I wish Rodney was here, but he's not, so I'm gonna ask you and Christy and also Mayor, that's gonna come to you as well.

When we approve subdivisions and projects that come before us, um and there's modifications or or uh uh the condition of approval for each development.

Is there anyone within our city employees that actually goes out and verifies that the developments is following or following the rules of applications?

Yeah, Mayor and Councilmember Rodriguez, that's a great question.

We we do have staff.

Um Hayden Draper, uh, who's landscape architect, he's just come on with us, uh, he does those inspections for us.

Uh we have uh been doing that continually for the last five years.

Uh we are also checking plans to make sure that the the proposed developments uh meet health safety and welfare standards and that they uh meet any of the standards that are required by code and we ensure follow-up, sorry.

So uh is there is there a report that you're that you file uh within planning and zoning or building or civil that that actually indicates that they have a correction and before the bond is approved or released.

So uh excuse me, Mayor and Councilmember Rodriguez.

So if we have an issue that um we cannot release bond funds because something wasn't done properly, uh we will notify uh the contractor or the developer and ensure that those things are corrected before that bond uh is released, and that's recorded in an email fashion.

That doesn't come to the council because it's already been approved, right?

Yeah, okay.

I'll get back with you on this.

All right, Mayor.

Yes, writing on these coattails, uh, and I know that uh Daniel isn't here or um Rodney, thank you.

But Christy is uh if is there something that we could be doing better in our uh approvals of these projects to make sure there's stronger teeth on our development agreements.

I know one's getting worked out right now, but there's a development in my district that we might have been a little too loose on and uh the neighbors are feeling the repercussions of such a thank you, Mayor, um councilman Griffin.

Um of course you can always make more strict conditions in your development agreements and in your motions.

Umtimes it's hard to know ultimately what the design of that project is going to look like.

Um I know the one that you're speaking about.

We've been in touch with the neighbor, um, we've been in touch with the developer, we've worked out a new design.

Um, and it's working out exactly the way that discussion was intended for.

So um that all went very well.

Um if you wanted to be specific in height, and unfortunately, I am not a civil engineer.

So if you said to me we need a 20-foot berm, that would seem excessive to me.

Um I don't know what would be appropriate.

So it's hard to put a size limit on a condition, right?

Without knowing what that's gonna look like on the ground.

And I and you spoke exactly to it.

And for background, you've done an exceptional job mitigating this issue.

Uh, and I appreciate that.

This isn't a call out to disparage, it's a call out of praise.

And I'm grateful that the developer was willing to spend a lot of money to do redesigns, and and thankfully so.

Uh I just bring it up in future approvals if our development agreement, and that's why I've always stayed kind of open-ended, specifically on the berm.

How tall should it be, I don't know, but it should cover the rooftops.

I think was uh we just don't know what that means.

So I just putting that on notice, maybe we should be more definitive or not.

Uh help us along if you feel that something is ambiguous.

Yes, thank you.

Uh Councilman Griffin, absolutely.

Um, if we feel like you guys are kind of going in that direction, or we hear you know, specific comments, um, we need to make sure that those things are addressed in your motion.

Otherwise, um and not just left to the discussion that happened, but they need to actually be outlined in the motion.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I think we're uh it's okay, we'll hear from uh council president.

Well, Christy, uh as you guys have done in the past, it'll be well to occasionally have a workshop update to walk through some of the issues that council members bring up to you or want to see changed in the design documents uh and to make sure that we have vetted those uh from the staff level, community level, and then council level.

Um so if if you know we want a berm to uh the height of the the eve of the house or to the peak of the house.

Um have to understand that then the berm grows in width by a considerable amount.

So again, if if we're going for those types of changes, then we need the proposals put before council and uh workshop to physically understand what that means.

Uh and then it's important that uh the applicants, whoever they might be, singleton, large entity, uh understand what NAPA's asking for as well.

So your mic doesn't work.

Thank you.

Sorry about that.

Thank you, Mayor and uh Councilman Bills.

Um, I I totally agree with you.

Um I believe that we are putting something together right now where we're going to be talking about some various different standards that are in chapter 27 about our subdivisions.

And so if there is something that needs to be written into that to uh create a more permanent standard, um absolutely we'd be happy to discuss that at that time.

So I will talk to Rodney about that.

So that's a second request for a workshop there again.

We will decide that after late later.

Yes.

Maybe facilitate that if you feel like it's needed.

Yes.

Oh sorry.

Yeah, names and numbers.

I'm not good at okay.

Okay.

Doug, I think that's it.

Okay.

Thank you so very, very much.

Okay, we're gonna move to public hearings.

It's about uh 13 after, so we're a little late, so let's get moving.

I'm gonna just let you know again on 6-4.

We're gonna move that first.

Received a communication from a gentleman by the name of Ryan Cutler, representing Prescott Farm LLC this morning.

And uh he has requested uh from the landowner that uh for a continuance.

The landowner is not gonna be available, I believe, until November 16th.

So I'm gonna read through this, and then council, you will need to uh vote and decide whether you want to go ahead and uh work through this uh proposal tonight or whether you are okay with a continuance.

So I'll read it.

Uh 64 annexation and zoning to RMH multifamily residential zoning district comprehensive plan text amendment to change the text on the map in the highway 2026 specific area plan that restricts restricts high density residential to eight to twelve dwelling units an acre to eight plus dwelling acres and an acre, as is allowed in the high development agreement for the future, high density residential designation.

I'm sorry, I missed on let me go back just one more eight plus dwelling units an acre, as is allowed in the high development agreement for the future development of a project known as Prescott Creek at zero eighteen two ninety Prescott Lane, 1831911 Avenue North, a total of 80.81 acres in three parcels.

And there again it's for Ryan Cutler representing Prescott Farm LLC.

The original concept was future development of 380 townhouses and 760 multifamily units in 24 Plex and 88 Plex buildings.

So any comments on that, or are we ready for uh roll call as far as whether we're gonna continue or work it?

Mr.

Mayor.

Yes.

I would make a motion that we continue this at a date certain of um which what's our date?

September 16th November 16th.

Okay.

Second.

We have a motion and a second.

Any further discussion?

Roll call, please.

Cogs.

Yes.

Rodriguez.

Yes.

Griffin.

Yes.

Yes.

Reynolds.

Yes.

All in favor, motion carries.

Mr.

Hyman.

Go.

No.

Not till January for the county.

Okay.

All right.

Okay, we're ready to move on then to uh 661.

As long as I can find it, there it is.

Okay, this is 6-1 public hearing action item.

Adopt the 2026 annual action plan as presented and authorized final submission to the Department of Housing and Urban Development for approval on or before August 16th, 2026.

And it says Matt, you're already up.

Yes, uh Mayor Brunner and Council, Matt Jameson, Economic Community Development.

Uh we are here tonight to talk about the 2026 annual action plan.

Um the sort of culmination of the planning process.

If I can get my program to advance.

There we go.

Uh so the culmination of our planning process, and this is the fifth year.

2026 represents the fifth year of our five-year consolidated plan, uh, which was 22 to 2026.

Um, and so tonight will be the adoption of that plan, uh, authoring us to submit it to HUD uh on or before August 16th.

Um staff prepared this plan uh back around June 10th, opened it up and made it available to the public, so it's been out for a 30-day required public comment period.

Um if you'll recall, council allocated these funds at the April and May uh hearings, and that we have uh and the the original applications were all taken back in February 26th.

Uh the funding categories in general for CDBG uh community development block grant funds for those that don't know uh CDBG uh they're typically administration and planning, public service, and non-public service is what we tend to fund.

Uh we did put uh 129,872 towards admin and planning, which is uh just under the regulatory cap that we're allowed.

Same with public services.

We uh we funded 97,404, which was uh right at the 15 percent cap that uh we are allowed to fund non-public or to public service, and the remainder 792 96473 went to non-public service activities, which I'll summarize in a second.

Uh the total, which was 1,020,240 dollars and seventy-three cents allocated.

Uh for the public services, uh, we did fund uh four different activities which met um what were uh the identified priority needs in our consolidated plan.

Uh those needs addressed would be homelessness prevention through rent and utility assistance, domestic violence support, uh, homelessness assistance and senior services.

For the non-public service, we funded three parks, which was Sunset Oaks Park, Lion, uh Lions Park Basketball Court, and Hunter's Park Basketball Court replacements, and then Stanley Creek and Roosevelt Avenue pedestrian and crossing improvements were funded uh through public works.

And finally, our housing, the housing portion of the non-public service was 100,000 to housing affordability, uh, which in can include uh city match for affordable housing development.

Uh it can also include down payment assistance, it's kind of whatever you whatever we might need it to be.

It's designed to help us react if things come in uh mid-year.

Um, and we've allocated those funds for this year uh just recently.

So uh those funds are being used, um, and hopefully we'll find another recipient this coming year.

The uh and then the home repair low program, uh, which provides um critical home repair funds to low income households, things like water sewer mains, um furnaces, AC units for uh for older folks.

But uh so those funds are all included in the plan.

Um the plan once it's opened up for public comment.

Uh the staff we reached out through uh not only email communication to area stakeholders and uh the targeted beneficiaries that they try to reach, and we also held two open houses at the library and one at Idaho uh Hispanic uh cultural center.

Uh we've received uh four comments to date.

Um the one of the comments that we received was uh from a NAMPA resident uh that housing is difficult for young families, and uh anything that we're putting towards helping those families with housing is a good idea.

Um a gentleman that was homeless did make a comment on the plan as we discussed things we'd funded.

He said 100,000 probably wasn't enough for a housing affordability, and he's finding that uh people who are on disability or limited income or having a difficult time right now uh getting that housing, and then uh an employee at St.

Vincent DePaula, also a NAPA resident, uh, did provide comment uh that the individuals that come in looking for services from them, uh two of their highest need requests is rent assistance and food access.

So we're we're we're tackling that on the the rent assistance side in this plan, thankfully, and then on the food side we're we're tackling that in other ways, but not through the grant.

Uh and then from our uh regional stakeholders and and uh some of the residents they uh they assist, uh same kind of comments.

Transportation housing, the highest priority needs that were identified in both the comments received there.

Uh so that is kind of just the summary of the plan.

It's once again it's been out for the public to kind of consume.

And at this point, we're just sort of accepting the plan and and moving forward, submitting it to HUD.

Once approved, we can act on this plan beginning October 1, as long as the grant re uh grant agreement from HUD is received.

Any questions for Matt?

Thank you, Matt.

Appreciate it.

Okay, this is time for public testimony.

There's no one currently signed up.

Is there anybody interested in speaking to this issue?

Okay, Mayor.

Second.

Right.

So we uh all in favor.

All right.

Anything further, Matt, at all?

Uh no.

Uh okay.

If there's any changes to this plan, um, I will come back for you.

We'll make a modification uh and change it with HUD later on.

But okay, do we have a motion then as far as uh this action?

Annual action plan that's presented.

Second.

Okay, we have a motion and a second.

No discussion.

We'll have roll call.

Scog, yes.

Bills, yes, Runnels, Rodriguez, Jingula, yes, Griffin.

All in favor, motion carries.

Okay, six two is our next public hearing, and I will read hopefully read it better than I have so far.

Uh comprehensive uh plan map amendment from low density residential to medium density residential, addressed as 5601 East Locust Lane for Ray Bullinger, original concept, future annexation and zoning to RS4, single family residential or RD, two-family duplex residential for cottage style townhouses.

Is our applicant here?

Just name and address, sir.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Mayor, members of the council, Sean Wardle, 2239 East Granor Street, Meridian, Idaho, on behalf of the applicant, Ray Bollinger.

Um I need to click me.

Okay, we'll do it that way.

Thank you very much.

I appreciate your time tonight.

Um we are here to discuss uh this particular piece of property and a comprehensive plan amendment um from uh low density residential to medium density residential.

Um we're in front of the the council here tonight uh because the the current site location, if you'll move to the next slide, please, Terry.

Thank you.

Is a two-acre site on locust lane.

Uh we currently have 10 mobile homes on uh the site existing.

And um want to point out that uh this is this is not a referendum on a affordable housing um uh not a referendum on the on the mobile home, simply a comprehensive plan amendment that would allow the developer to continue to keep the density that he currently has.

Um so uh I'm gonna point out a couple of site constraints.

The first of which is locust lane that would require an additional excuse me, 50 foot ride away uh from the center line and then a 25-foot landscape buffer.

In addition to that, we've got the Odell drain on the southern portion of the property, which will require another 25, which has a 25-foot easement.

And so we're dealing with uh um quite a constrained site within future development.

Um if we can move to the next slide, please.

Oops, back one, please.

This is the 2020 to 2023 comprehensive plan, which actually designates the property as a medium density residential parcel.

Um if we move to the next uh, which is your 2040 plan, we're now looking at a um adjacent to our mixed use.

Um this wouldn't qualify for a mixed use designation simply because we we would only be doing residential development.

There's not enough room on the site to do something different with that.

Um so the the adjacent development uh just to the north.

I I know staff will talk a little bit about what that density looks like and how that was approved.

Um, but uh we feel that the medium density resident residential designation still meets the the goals of the comprehensive plan.

Our applicant landowner wasn't involved in that process.

And in my experience, through some of the comprehensive plans, you take an existing built environment and consider that during your comprehensive plan.

I think this simply just got missed in that process.

And so we're here to ask you to effectively uh write that situation.

Um next slide, please.

So we initially presented a town home concept um with 10 additional lots, and um uh initially during our preliminary application, um, staff didn't necessarily like this design.

So uh again, we are not asking for an approval of a project, we're only asking for a designation.

We know we have to go back through the process with the planning and zoning commission.

Um, and so all we're we're presenting here tonight are some concepts.

The owner, the owner would like the owner's real desire is to is to make this property better for the city of Nampa.

Um the current built environment is is not one from a community perspective that he would like to continue to own long term.

However, economically, um, if we were if we were to stay with the low density residential designation, we would get between three and five units, and so three to five um lots on this particular site after having pulled uh sewer water as well as the rest of the utilities and then putting in curb gutter and sidewalk makes it frankly economically unfeasible, and so that's what we're here to ask for tonight.

Um the next concept we have was a five cluster com uh complex on the site of five units, and then we've we've matched the density in our in our last designation, which is 10 units here.

So again, existing site here to the left, and then potentially what could happen with a due new designation, which we feel would be a benefit to the community in Ampa.

Um there was some discussion about whether this could be part of a larger project.

I think you can see the site um that canal right there provides uh um a barrier um to be part of the larger farm parcel to the south.

Uh it's also not one that that a developer would need to pick up for access, right?

So we're basically we're trying not to create a county enclave here.

So um questions about you know why now why not wait until the 2050 plan?

Um this particular owner would like to do something sooner than later, and uh we understand that this is an additional step in the process, and that's why we're here today.

And with that, I would uh stand for any questions.

Council, yes now, one thing.

Yes, uh Sean.

Is our our is there a community well here or is it each has their own or not?

Or septic tank?

Uh so each of the so there are um subject tanks and then um individual wells there.

Was that the question you asked?

Yes, yes.

So will you be using those on the new homes?

Or you'll be taking all that on connecting to the city.

Could you turn it up a little more?

I'm sorry, could you could you speak a little closer on the microphone?

Are you going to remove those subtlets or connections?

Um with water wells.

So it would be our intention through another application to bring the development back, but to but to connect to city city services.

I see.

Okay, thank you.

Any other questions for the applicant?

Okay, thank you.

Terry, I think it's your own.

Sorry, we forgot the popcorn tonight.

Maybe next time.

Sorry about that delay.

Thank you, Mayor and Council members.

My name is Terry Friend, associate planner for the City of Nampus Planning and Zoning District.

Sorry, planning and zoning department.

Uh the requested action for you today is a comprehensive map amendment from low density residential to medium density residential for a two point one nine acre parcel at 5601 East Locust Lane.

Uh the applicant is Ray Bollinger, who's looking for a future annexation and zoning that would allow the property to be redeveloped in some way.

Um at the conclusion of the public hearing before planning and zoning commission, the commission did vote five to two to recommend denial of this application.

Um the property is currently still under Canyon County jurisdiction with a land use designation on our future um land use map as low density residential, and as we'll talk about in a little bit, that's sort of flipped flopped some in the past few years.

Um so as shown in shown on the zoning map, the area to the south and ease of the subject property are also in Canyon County jurisdiction, those kind of dark areas there, as well as all of the TAN.

Um they are designated low density, excuse me, they are designated low density residential also on the future land use map.

The annexed property to the north, what you see in that sort of lighter color yellow there is Terrace Falls Estates.

It's zoned RS 8.5, but does have a development agreement that requires that the maximum, sorry, the minimum lot size there is 12,000 square feet, which would actually now fall in NAMPA's RS 12 zoning district, which is something that works in the low density residential um designation.

The area of the property to the west that you see there in the brighter yellow is the Harvest Creek subdivision.

It is zoned RS six and falls under the residential mixed use land use designation on the future land use map.

So Idaho State Code requires that cities develop a comprehensive plan and a map of projected land uses for our jurisdiction.

Um it's a simple one-liner in their code.

Uh NAMPA has met this requirement through the development of the 2040 comprehensive plan.

That's the one we have in use now.

Um it was adopted in 2020.

The plan and the map was developed with a long-range planning perspective, public engagement, interdepartmental coordination, um, to align the city's growth goals, um, address community needs and provide visualization for land uses throughout the city.

Unlike zoning codes, the future land use map is somewhat flexible.

It's subject to change at the planning and zoning and city council's desire as you periodically want to impose or act differently.

So, how about that flip-flopping, right?

Okay, so in late 2022, we know that the original 2040 comprehensive plan was adopted in 2020.

In late 2022, NAMPA reevaluated the future land use map through an extensive planning process that included public outreach, meetings with stakeholders, workshops with the planning and zoning commission and city council open houses.

We had surveys, and based on this input, City Council adopted a revised future land use map in February of 2023.

And so this slide shows the area surrounding the subject property, which we see on the left there with a little star as it was originally designated in 2020 as medium density residential, but with that additional effort, we've now switched to the map in the upper corner, and you see that we are now in the low density residential zone designation, sorry, not zone designation all around that and further to the east and then to the west.

We've chosen that residential mixed use.

Now that was done based on the feedback that we received during that process.

They are still in the Canyon County, and they're anticipated to be in that use for quite some time.

This slide shows that future land use map designation change.

And as you can see, a large swath of land at the eastern and southeastern borders of NAMPAS planning area has been designated as low density residential, creating that buffer between city and the surrounding agricultural land in Ada and Canyon Counties.

But most specifically, sorry, the building department gave their typical that chapter four, our title four, is going to apply.

Code compliance did indicate that there was some accumulation of things, tires, furniture, trash, debris, weeds, some inoperable vehicles.

Those are all things that can be addressed through conditions of approval at the time of annexation.

But the long-range planning team, Doug Critschfield, did provide comments indicating concerns as detailed on the slide and in your staff report.

Primarily his concern focused on the proposed map change allowing for development that would be inconsistent with surrounding large lot development, sorry, large lot developed properties in Terrace Falls estates and the undeveloped Canyon County rural properties and the proposed land use designation change would not yield development that's consistent with the council's long-range vision of the area.

Two public comments were received.

They were both received late, so I think they're in hard copy in front of you.

These have been added as late comments.

Nori Nunes wrote in opposition to the request, citing concerns about increasing housing density and the proposal for more houses or townhouses worsening the existing heavy traffic in the area, which often includes high rates of speed night and day, she says.

And Stephen and Shannon McCargu, sorry if I'm buttering a name there, wrote in opposition to the request, indicating concerns that this change would decrease their property values after alter the aesthetic character of the neighborhood with high density townhomes or other high-density housing and exasperate existing traffic congestion in the area.

They do argue that such a development would not align with the Terrace Falls subdivision community that was and their established residential character and would primarily benefit a single developer at the expense of current homeowners.

The facts related to this application have been detailed in your staff report, and they're outlined on the next three slides, which I won't read to you word for word, but I did highlight just a few that I wanted to bring forward tonight.

The project proposes to change the land use designation for only the 2.19 acre subject property from low density to medium density residential.

The future land use map was real reevaluated through a significant planning process in late 2022.

And as the result of the adoption of that map of that map in 2023, the designation for this property and the surrounding area was intentionally changed from medium density residential to low density residential because council envisioned this area to be rural in nature.

The land use designation change requested by the applicant, like this proposal, are typically done with a consensus of the surrounding community and support of the city's long-range planning professionals.

This application is not meeting that criteria.

And NAMPA is currently undertaking the development of the 2050 comprehensive plan.

That's what we were talking about with you earlier.

This plan is expected to be ready for review and adoption summer of 2027.

So during the comprehensive plan work that we're doing now, the future land use map is going to be re-evaluated and modified if it's deemed necessary.

So on this slide is the conclusion that includes that's included in your staff report, which finds that approving the applicant's request for a change to the future land use map designation for this property would not yield development that aligns with the council's long-range vision for development in this area.

No specific conditions of approval have been recommended at this time.

There could be some conditions that are anticipated during the future request for annexation.

And here are the potential motions for your consideration.

Any questions for Terry?

Council.

Okay, thank you very much.

We'll move on to uh public testimony.

How many?

How many do we have signed up for Mr.

Mayor?

We have three people that have signed up.

Three individuals.

Okay.

First one will may come up, please.

Name and address and three minutes.

Our first speaker is Stephen McCargue.

Good evening, Mayor.

Uh, ladies and gentlemen of the council.

My name is Steve McCarg.

I live at 3588 Angel Falls Way in Nampa.

Uh we recently moved to that home after being in rural Candy County for uh the last 20 years.

Uh just moved in, still living in Box World in my garage.

Uh, my wife and I were recently notified by Lenar Holmes of the City Council meeting.

Uh, we understand from the city that Mr.

Ray Bollinger of Emmett Idaho currently desires to amend the zoning from single family residential homes to two-family duplex residential homes.

Well, my wife and I strongly argue against these changes.

As I'm close to retiring, we chose the Terrace Falls development in zone two of the city because of the wonderful single family homes that were offered there in this rural portion of NAMPA.

To build transient non-owner rental homes, two-family duplex residential town homes uh across the street from our Terrace Falls homes, significantly reduces the value of the investment that we have just invested uh in this city.

Most concern to me uh is the comprehensive plan, and as I've already heard in the testimony from the city, uh it's just not in it's just incongruent.

Um that area across the street.

Currently, I almost hit a child on the way here tonight.

Um there are derelict cars across the street, and uh the traffic is unbelievable.

Um I drive to Gowan Field every morning.

Uh it's 15 miles to take locust all the way to five mile.

Uh takes about 30 minutes in the morning without train traffic.

Uh in the evening, it takes about the same amount of time, but it bottlenecks constantly at Happy Valley because the nonlinear intersection there, people are in a hurry.

They drive very fast along there, as we found in the last two months.

What I would tell you overall is that the locust lane zoning for two-family duplex residential reduces the value of the single-family residential home owners that own homes.

There's I think three homes left to be sold in that development.

Cookie cutter architecture, as I've already seen and I've read in the minutes from the last meeting.

There's nine styles of homes, eight different uh pallets of color.

Um, and to put those style homes across the streets just not a good thing for my wife and I.

Um, and I would yield back my time to you and uh take any pertinent questions that you have for me.

Mayor Bruner.

Yes, Councilman.

Uh I don't have a question.

I well, I do.

What is monolithic one style?

Beige, windows, three stories, they all look the same.

Cookie cutter, cookie cutter.

Thank you.

Yes, sir.

I didn't know that one.

Mayor.

I would be lying if I didn't tell you I used some AI.

Oh, there you go.

At least you're honest.

That's good.

Yes.

Would you see the current project that is there as a uh an increase to your property values compared to this project that's potentially being proposed?

Because I'm just I'm trying to weigh a quarter to a quarter.

Which quarter do we want?

Well, I live on a third of an acre lot.

That was the reason that we purchased that home.

Um these are gonna be transient homes as are proposed.

Um people aren't gonna own those.

Uh Mr.

Bollinger is gonna be the only beneficiary of amending the current plan.

Uh so he himself will be the single beneficiary versus 74, I think, homes across the street in the Terrace Falls development, where we own our homes.

We're invested in them.

We want to keep them up.

We want the city to be proud of our development.

We want crime to be low, children to be able to play, not be concerned about people flying in and out of that area, as I've seen in other developments in the city.

I myself have lived in a townhouse, two of them on 12th Avenue 38 years ago.

So uh they're of value to those that need that kind of housing.

And I'm not arguing against townhomes.

They're perfectly fine for people that want them.

But in the development that was developed across the street on the north side of Locust, it's just incongruent to build a bunch of monolithic cookie cutter homes and then put that upon me as a homeer when I'm two months into my new home.

So just to restate another way, and thank you for that.

Do you feel that the current property that's there is maintained and it's more of an enhancement to your area than what's proposed?

I've seen the police there three or four times just this week.

Okay, thank you.

Mayor.

Yes, councilwoman.

Um, I have a similar question to uh Councilman Griffin's.

Um the condition of the property right now is pretty dim.

It is.

So what is your idea of what that should be?

If um, how should that be developed?

What would you as and perhaps your neighbors like to see there?

I think single-family homes.

It's a small lot, um, definitely.

There are four other homes if you drive there, and I'd encourage you to go there and see these things for yourself, uh, see the traffic, see what's being built.

Um, there are several older homes, probably 40, 50-year-old homes along that just to the east of where those trailer homes are now.

Um I know it's already been stated by the developer that they would only put three homes potentially in there to mimic the other home styles in this area.

Um, I think that would be perfectly fine.

Um, I know the farmers around that area, they're family friends of ours.

Uh that was one of the big reasons we decided to move there.

Is he said my kids are gonna farm this ground for a long time, and we've lived in rural Canyon County out by Swan Falls for years, and coming back into town.

We were a little hesitant living in a subdivision again where I'm used to shooting coyotes off my back porch.

Not okay now.

Totally perfectly fine with that.

But I also don't want a constant transient traffic across the street on an highly cannot tell you how dangerous locust is, uh, both at the happy valley side and at the south side roundabout, which is wonderful.

We put a roundabout in there, but it's still a very dangerous part of town right now because people are just in a hurry.

They're just in a hurry.

Uh in that happy valley turn is quite treacherous because of the power pylon that's right there that blocks people's view.

Thank you.

Any other qu questions?

Thanks for your service, by the way.

Thank you, Mayor.

Mr.

Mayor, our next speaker is Bob Sun.

Three three three minutes.

Okay.

Bob Zone 5401 East Terrace Falls Court, Napa.

And I'd like to thank Terry for taking half my thunder so much.

He spilled most of it.

Um I'd like to just uh touch the fact on some city facts as far as the sewer connections in that part of town.

Um before Harvest Creek, there was only 340 allowed.

So Harvest Creek took 214, Terrace Falls took 97, leaving a balance of 29.

Obviously, they're not going to touch 29, but do we really want to flow the sewers at 100%?

It's gravity fed, and all I can think about is Super Bowl Sunday, and everybody gets up at commercial time and flushes a toilet and the manholes pop off the street, you know.

Um so you know, we are at max capacity for the sewer.

Uh the other thing is the compatibility was brought up.

There's not a townhouse anywhere in that southeast quadrant.

Uh so no compatibility.

Um I don't think it we're at the point listening to budget hearings and everything else that we should be changing the comp plan.

I think we should go with it.

I mean, it's only been three years since they actually pushed that line to the west to make that buffer bigger, as Terry mentioned.

Um so, and as most of you already know, Terrace Falls is not 8.5, it is an R12.

Um in February of 22.

Our mayor here made the motion to make Terrace Falls meet our 12, and it does.

So hopefully in the future we can actually change that.

Um so anyway, that's my speech.

But like I said, Terry took a lot of it, but I'd like to see him do something with it.

Maybe we can get a hold of Mr.

Henman and the county can uh can make them clean it up.

But uh, I mean, you have no jurisdiction over it, I get it.

But um if they want to make three houses, perfect, but I don't think it should be medium density.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Mr.

Mayor, our last speaker is Noreen Noons.

Hello.

Um I guess I made a mistake last week when I brought in my paper.

Um thinking.

Oh, I'm sorry.

That's fine.

I know that.

Um, Noreen Nunes 5547 East Victoria Falls Drive in Napa.

And um again, I you should all have copies of this paper, or I thought you would.

But anyway, um the comprehensive the as stated in the planning and zoning hearing on May 12, 2026.

I'm against changing this low residential housing, and which keeps the number of homes low to 10 currently, but changing this to median density with more houses and townhouses does not seem feasible to me.

The traffic as you know on low cost is already heavy with this traffic often at high rates of speeds, and this will increase it to a dangerous level with more vehicles traveling on it.

My backyard butts up right to locusts, and I hear the cars, trucks, and motorcycles speeding all the time, day and night.

There are also many houses already built and still being built west of this parcel, which has already contributed to the heavy traffic.

So I don't see making it any worse with more homes as a smart or safe thing to do.

So I urge you to please vote no regarding the increase of houses on Locust Lane and help keep the residents safe.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Is there anyone else that's interested did not sign up?

Yes.

I'm not gonna argue with you.

Okay, no, you're up here.

She doesn't want to see me lose.

My name is Hubert Osborne.

I reside at 4199 East Switzerway, which is in the Bridgewater subdivision, which is nearby.

This is another example of spot zoning, which I uh hate.

Southwest Health District usually takes care of the problems with sewer and water and make them clean it up.

And uh hooking on to our uh water and sewer would be a good thing for that area, but uh I would just say you don't take a bad situation and make it worse forever.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I have a question for yes, uh you Mr.

Osborne.

You've lived in that area over how many years since 1983, okay.

And when that trade accord was there, when that trade accord started when they put it in.

You remember it had about 20, even 30 trailers there at one time, right?

It was there before 1983.

Okay.

And we called that high density because of the trailers.

With Billy called it low-cost housing.

Yes.

Now that they are going to or would like to propose a different style of what would you call that now?

High density, medium, low.

Well, they're looking at at least medium density.

But with the amount of homes, single homes there.

Would you say that's a detriment to that area now?

As it is now?

It's already a detriment, but I I don't see that putting up new buildings changes the character.

That's what I wanted to hear.

Thank you, sir.

Okay, are we ready?

You didn't think I was going to be quiet, did you?

Linda Steele, 1219, South Spring Valley Drive in Nampa.

I have a vested interest here.

I sold a home in Terrace Falls.

So I'm very concerned about this.

I've heard from a lot of the residents that are upset about this.

But I don't want to everybody's basically said the same thing, and I do not want to repeat what everybody has said, but I do want to point out, I am gonna repeat.

Based on that feedback and based on all that homework, it was decided that the area was going to be changed to low density.

What are you gonna do now?

You're gonna because of one applicant, you're gonna turn around and tell all the people in the city of Napa.

Oh, we're we're just joking.

We're gonna change it back to medium.

Can't do that.

Yes, what's there now is an eye sort.

No two ways about it.

And shame on the landowner for not cleaning it up.

Somebody will get to that sooner or later.

That doesn't mean you replace something bad with something worse or equally as bad.

So I'm asking you please to do the right thing and oppose this project.

Thank you very much.

Is there anyone else interested in speaking?

If not, we'll have the applicant come back and address any any uh concerns or questions, mayor, members of the council.

Uh thank you, and we appreciate uh comments from uh from the neighbors.

I I I will say that we're not here with an application for the development today.

And I want to make that very clear because there's a very public process in which uh we will work with with the neighbors and and everyone through that process and talk about what this could be.

However, today we're here for a comprehensive plan amendment simply because the current change within the comprehensive plan makes a redevelopment of this project, in our opinion, in the owner's opinion, economically unfeasible.

And so um we also understand that if this were 2.19 acres of empty land, we wouldn't be asking for an additional designation.

We we get that.

We're we're here frankly to appeal to your common sense.

We really feel like we can do a better project than what is there currently, but we need at least the ability to seek the zoning in the medium density residential.

Um and that and that's what we're asking here today, and and I would appeal to um you know your your sense of of community and and what could be a potentially much better project.

With that, I would stand for any questions.

Any questions, council?

Mayor, yes.

J just to uh confirm or clarify, has the property owner been aware of the code compliance issues at the property and have done anything to remediate that as it currently stands before we approve a future project, hoping on good faith that it stays operational.

So the short answer to your question is is I'm not involved in the in that piece of the puzzle.

I'm here as a planning representative for the owner.

Uh my understanding is that uh the uh within Canon County's jurisdiction, it's currently in Candy County.

Uh code enforcement with the city of Nampa has called out some issues, but those wouldn't wouldn't happen until we applied for annexation.

So that's my understanding of the current situation of the problem.

So the current state of the property is at the standard that Kenyon County would like it to be at the speaking to your the current um condition of the property is currently at what Canyon County standards have allowed for.

I don't know.

I don't I don't know what Cannon County standards are.

I'm apologize.

Okay, any any further questions?

Okay.

Thank you, Sean.

Okay, if there's no one no one else, then we'll we'll have a motion to close the public hearing, please.

All in favor?

Okay.

Any council discussion before we make a motion?

I I needed to come up with a question for Terry, and I did in the meantime.

Can I ask staff a question?

Terry, I know we're still in the thick of the 2050 amendment changes, but based off of what you're currently seeing and what's currently being allocated.

Will this stay low density in the 2050 map or will it move to medium density summer of 2027?

Crystal ball here.

Okay.

Thank you, Mayor and Councilman.

Um we're still in the thick of it, and the conversations regarding the future land use map haven't happened yet.

Question, sir.

Yes, sir.

Terry, um if this does pass.

What would be the fiscal impact for the city of Napa residents?

And the city of Napa to allow connection with water, sewer, and irrigation.

I know Jandra's not here, but he could probably answer, but I'll wait for Mark.

Uh Mayor and Councilmember Rodriguez, we're not we're not at that part in the application yet.

Again, this is a comprehensive plan amendment.

And when it comes to for annexation and for zoning, then that would be required the analysis as such.

Thank you, sir.

Anyone else, counsel?

Okay, I think we're ready for a motion, please.

Uh Mayor, I uh my thoughts are uh it this application should have been for a comp plan amendment along with zoning along with the plat.

And it should have been known to know exactly what's going to transpire uh five years, ten years from now, we'd be wanting to see something as what could be in terms of what's been as a possible use, uh a good in fill project.

However, it's unknown and it's one step at a time uh on an unknown situation.

So therefore I move to deny the comprehensive plan amendment from low density residential to medium density residential at 5601 East Locust Lane.

So presented.

I think uh we can uh count councilman had the second.

Okay, any further discussion?

Real call, please.

God's to deny it, right?

Yes.

Sorry, Angula, yes.

Rodriguez, yes, Griffin, yes, Reynolds, yes, Bills.

Yes.

All in favor, motion carries.

Thank you.

Okay, that ends that one, and we're uh are we uh do we need a break, counselor?

Are we all right to move on?

I don't know about you folks, but I do let's do uh can we make it five minutes here?

Yeah, okay, five minutes.

Five minutes, but uh there's yeah, I think it is a correct one.

We didn't have a thing.

So I guess like the way you know kind of narrow down the previous time they're gonna add some.

Yeah, yeah, my key in the family.

Oh yeah, then we're gonna go.

Well, if I don't know, uh well, get it brought up.

So yeah.

Right.

She what is it?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, they all should push through which is which is whatever.

Yeah.

They look at it by us.

And I know why it's like a lot of things.

So there's not these done.

Yeah.

With that question with whatever I can do.

So actually the decision.

Um but this isn't a level that's kind of it's funny.

So we have just more stories and then all council members, please come to come to the your seats.

I'll get here before the other two.

Simple to use turn back.

Simple to use points are school.

I mean, I met him in Miller.

I mean thinking of his name.

No, no, no.

Not a problem.

Okay, we have a we have a quorum.

We're getting started.

Okay, we have uh our next next uh public hearing is a six-three action item, and I will read that variance of NCC 10-23-20, limiting permanent freestanding pole or monument signs in the IL, which is light industrial zoning district to a maximum of 40 feet height and 300 square feet area, addressed as 228 East Chisholm Drive for Steve Thiesson representing Braven Ida.

Is it Brivan or Braven?

Brivan Bryant Idaho LLC, original concept 90 feet foot tall, multi-tenant sign with tenant signs totaling one thousand one hundred square feet in sign area.

And this is continued from June 1st, 26 meeting.

Applicant is here.

Thank you.

Good evening, Mayor Bruner and Council members.

Thank you for your consideration of our signage variance application this evening.

The subject property is located west of Centennial Golf Course along I 84.

If you're familiar with this location of a range of industrial uh buildings to the north, west and south, and then the golf course uh directly east of us.

So the proposed uh monument sign is uh basically central to the overall property.

And the intent of the sign is right now the entire building is basically down in a hole.

Um you can barely see it from the interstate, especially if you're going eastbound.

And so the intent with the the monument sign is to bring visibility to uh the tenant.

Uh bath fitter occupies the center space right now, uh, but they're having trouble with with people being able to locate the space.

They are committed to doing this project, so they're currently building out tenant spaces for each of the individual uh tenants that are are in that, which are nine, and they're building out a second floor, the building up bathrooms, so these are gonna be move-in-ready tenant spaces uh this fall.

Um the next step is they really want to have that visibility so that this is a successful project.

Uh so a couple concept renderings.

Essentially, if you eliminate the height of the the hole that we're in, the signage would be uh compliant, but based on the nature of the terrain, uh we have to ask for this this variance.

Uh the sign and the height of the sign was previously approved uh about a year ago, and the only delay there was just building out this tenant improvement and in working with building department when we did the original shell.

Uh the impact fees were not paid for in the original construction.

So when we went to do our tenant improvements, there was a fairly hefty uh fee that we had to absorb for that, so that caused some delays, which allowed our uh previous approval to expire, which is why we're before you today.

So with that, we did follow up with uh KIVI, which is the TV station, uh directly west of us.

It's that kind of cool ziggurat looking building.

Uh they have a sensitivity to um line of sight for their their TV station, their signals, and so just wanted to triple check with Jeff over there that he was still good with the previously proposed height of 90 feet, um which he was fine with.

That didn't change.

He just wanted to make sure.

So I don't I don't see him tonight.

So we've gone through several uh different applications with him over the years and built trust with him.

So uh I think that reflects that he's comfortable with our application.

So with that, uh what we're proposing is a 90-foot sign with the revised uh code.

I think NAPA's current monument signs uh allow for 80 feet.

Um so we'd just be asking for that additional 10 10 feet.

Um and then I think the unique thing with NAPA's code is it it's mostly written or geared towards single tenant spaces, uh buildings, and what we're proposing is uh a multi-tenant sign similar to what you see kind of by top golf or the industrial parks kind of going to the west versus having three or four monument signs on this property and kind of smattered.

And what we're proposing is uh a multi-tenant sign similar to what you see kind of by top gall for the industrial parks kind of going to the west versus having three or four monument signs on this property and kind of smattered.

Um we went to the owner uh a year and a half ago and said, why don't we just see if we can do one sign and do a multi-tenant sign with cabinets just to eliminate and reduce sign clutter because we do have a firm out of that uh along the interstate, not just in Napa, but just kind of in general, and so the intent with this was really to consolidate signage and give an opportunity for visibility, but not just smatter a bunch of signs along ID4.

Any questions from Mr.

Hatch?

Council questions.

Okay, thank you.

Terry, you're up again.

Thank you, Mayor and Council members for the record.

My name is Terry Friend, associate planner with the City of Napa's planning and zoning department.

Um we're talking about a sign tonight, 90 foot tall, um 1,149 square feet for a property that is um in the aisle zoning district.

It's surrounded by the rest of that development to the north, which is mostly commercial, um, and then to the east we have the golf course to the south.

We have light industrial as well.

Um and to the west is also the development.

So we're talking about the gray square there and a sign that's um intended for everybody in that building.

This property was annexed in 1987 to industrial park.

Um it was rezoned from IP industrial park to um community business in 1996.

Um, and then it was rezoned from uh community business to light industrial in 2022.

We did a design review for um the 1,409, no 149,000 square foot industrial building that you see pictured there in 2023.

Um, and then in 2025, we did this variance once before.

The sign looked a little bit different, but it was still 90 square, sorry, 90 feet high.

It was 1,110 square feet at the time.

So sign variances.

We've done them a lot, you know the history here, but just as some examples, this slide shows um some nearby locations that exceed the sign sizes specified in the current code.

Um we see sign two and three, which are both off of north side, have been granted variances for 90 feet and 91 feet, respectively.

And then closer to Franklin, where this location is, we see sign seven for stinker is eighty-five feet high.

Um, an applicant from 2022 uh provided this photograph kind of showing some competition, right?

For signs.

Why do we need to go higher?

Well, there's a lot of signs that are already higher, so we've got this competition going on.

Um most of the ones noted there are all single tenant.

Um by comparison, Treasure Valley Marketplace, which is multi-tenant sign, is 70 feet high.

Treasure Valley Crossing also a 70-foot high sign, um, multi-tenant.

Idaho Guns and Outdoor has a 65 foot high pylon sign that's 300 square feet.

And then most recently, prior to the code change in 2025, Blue Beacon truck wash was granted a variance to allow a 60-foot high pylon sign due to the site's location below the freeway grade.

So we've done a lot of work on this section of code because we've had so many variances over time.

Our city attorney at the time in 2023 said you should really look at changing the code instead of doing a bunch of variances.

And so City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission members got together as a committee to look at this, and they did make a recommendation, which was finally adopted in 2025 to increase the allowed height of the sign to be 60 feet above the deck of the freeway height at the sign location, up to 80 feet height total.

So we've got two numbers going on there.

When we did that, they were working, they were looking primarily at commercially zoned properties.

So maybe inadvertently we didn't separate out industrial.

And so what came through was that change in sign height, but then a limitation to 200 square foot of sign area, which was and still is what's possible in the commercial zone, but this is a location in the industrial zone.

A 40-foot high pylon sign in the industrial zone can be 300 square feet.

So we've got a little bit of nuance going on there in the sign code with this hearing because the application is for a much much larger sign than either the 200 or the 300 square foot of sign area.

So as we saw before, this is the proposed sign.

We've got a hundred square foot of sign area for each of 10 tenant panels.

And then there's an additional 149 square foot assign, which is utilized to identify the development name, which is the meadows.

And the height of the lowest cabinet on this sign is 28 foot four inches above grade.

And there's a two-foot gap between each of those sign cabinets.

There is shown at 24 feet, which is what the sign company had estimated was the height of the freeway deck at that sign.

However, based on available information from city engineering department, we estimate that the freeway deck height is closest, sorry, the area closest to the proposed sign location is elevated at 19 feet.

So we've got a little five-foot discrepancy there.

This is a view from westbound I-84, the set the property as we're going past it here.

So applicable code would be the variance code.

And the purpose of a variance is intended for evening an uneven playing field.

So the council is empowered to grant variances in order to prevent or lessen practical development difficulties, unique site circumstances, and unnecessary physical geographical hardships, inconsistent with the objective of the code.

And the purpose of the variance is to provide fair treatment and to see that individuals are not penalized because of site characteristics that are beyond their control.

A variance is not intended to allow something that others do not have the right to do.

Literal interpretation of the code would result in a practical difficulty inconsistent with the objectives of the code.

Literal interpretation of the code would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same area.

Granting of the variants will not constitute granting of special privileges that's not consistent with the limitations that other properties in the same area are impacted by.

And granting of the variants will not be detrimental to public health safety and welfare or injur to properties or improvements in the vicinity.

So that's the code we're working for tonight.

If you were to find that the criteria have been met, I've recommended six conditions of approval that you'll see in your staff report.

That the approval of the variance would be to allow a sign area up to 1,149 square feet, and the grant of the variants would be allowed for a sign up to 90 overall square feet.

Now to kind of lock them into the concept that you're looking at tonight so that they don't just come back with whatever.

With the exception that they could make adjustment to sign dimensions if it was required to comply with city state or federal code and to and or to ensure the efficient functioning and maintenance of the sign.

We want to make sure that they can take care of it over time.

Any proposed changes to the design should keep that overall appearance and proportions of the sign as closely as possible.

For that the building department put in their standard that it needs to meet building regulations.

Engineering didn't have any comments, but they were the ones that provided me the information about the contour there at the freeway.

And Lumen does not have any facilities in that proposed area.

So but if there was any changes to the project, they would want to review it again.

The facts regarding this application are listed in your staff report.

And on the screen here, again, I'm not going to read those word for word, but I did want to point out a couple.

Sorry.

The proposed sign is 10 feet taller than the maximum height allowed by the for freeway addressing signs based on that revised code we adopted in 2025.

Could be designed to adhere to that 80-foot sign height and still be visible from the freeway deck height.

Those are generally one tenant, or sorry, one advertisement.

This is different than that.

Um these facts can go both ways, certainly.

So if you choose to approve, there is potential conclusion here.

And I've also can included in your packet a potential conclusion for denying the sign if you decide that we don't meet all five of those criteria.

And here is some potential motions which address both the sign height and the sign area together.

If you wanted to split those out, I do have um potential motions for those as well.

Thanks, Terry.

Any questions for Terry?

Okay.

No one is signed up for public testimony.

Is there anyone uh still remaining that's interested in testifying?

Okay, uh Mr.

Hatch, you may come up if you have any further responses.

Mayor Brunner and Council members, uh, thank you again for your consideration of our application this evening.

Um over the last four years that we've been working on this project.

We've rezoned this land several different times.

We've carved it up in various different ways.

Really, the intent with that is to be meaningfully active towards what we're seeing in the market for NAMPA, uh, versus uh you know, speculation.

We're really trying to craft this development for something that meets the needs of NAMPA.

And so even last fall, um, when we were open and operational, people were were coming in, they say you know, we feel like we're in a hole here, we can't really see, and we are we're struggling with getting tenants because of that.

And so this resolves the need to really make you know this development uh viable buildings built, buildings there, it's operational.

Um so the so the request is really just to be able to do that.

But with that, uh if there are any questions, I will uh I will stand for any.

And I think your consideration any questions?

Okay, thank you.

Second, all in favor?

Mayor, I make a motion to approve the requested variance as shown on the screen.

Second, okay.

We have a motion and a second.

Any further discussion?

Mayor, did we need to include that condition number four that Terry brought up?

I I would have to go back and see number four or um mayor and uh councilman Jingula.

If if it's listed in the conditions of approval, it will be included.

We're okay.

Okay, perfect.

Thank you.

Okay, roll call, please.

Scog, yes.

Jingula, yes, Rodriguez, yes, Griffin.

No reynolds, yes, Bills.

Yes.

Five in favor, one opposed, motion carries.

Okay, thank you, sir.

Any questions for Mark?

I'll move.

Second.

Okay, we have a motion and a second.

Not seeing any discussion, so let's go for roll call.

God, well, well, well, you gotta hurry up.

I'm sorry, sir.

I do have a question.

Okay.

Um in this year's budget we audited.

We see here 25 is 1.6.

So that's already designated from 25.

What are you referring?

I would say what are you referring to?

Okay, okay.

Okay, so roll roll call on 5.1, please.

Scott, yes.

Jingula.

This is 5 2, yes.

5 2 5 1.

5 1.

5 1.

Yes.

It's okay.

Authorized mayor and public works directors to sign work package number three amendment to the CM slash CC agreement with MCO dash KRC joint venture LLC for the Pertham Sewer Trunk Project Extension.

Work package three.

This is at 11th Avenue to Can Ada in the amount.

Not I'll I'll finish it.

Not to exceed 11 million 133,270 and 95 cents.

Approved by attorney Mark Hilde, pending approval in fiscal year 26 budget amendment.

And uh John, you've been here that the last council meeting.

We hung you had to hang in there too.

Okay.

Second.

Okay, we have a uh we have a second.

Okay, any discussion?

Roll call, please.

No, and now you're ready for now.

You're ready for discussion.

John, you probably got to come out.

1.6 is in 25 budget.

So this has nothing to do with 26.

Mayor, Councilman Rodriguez, John Spencer, Director of Water Resources.

Um that is correct.

This is what was approved in the FY25 budget.

Mayor.

Yes.

Uh for finance.

What was the total amount of dollars that was taken for foregone taxes when you calculate the three percent and the one percent together?

We don't have in what year?

Oh, he is FY25.

What year last year's 25.

We only took the one percent, which was 468,000, and that went to police.

So why the project funding FY25 approved budget says 1.642 million from foregone taxes.

We had is that 25 or 24?

That could be wrong.

We did approve 1.6 million dollars in forego.

I it could have been 25, and that went to um the fund balance to fund this.

Yes, that did.

But if it was 25, I could be wrong on the year.

No worries.

And is that just the three percent, or is that the three percent plus the one percent that we it's the three percent plus the one percent?

But in year two, we took that one percent and twenty-six and diverted it to police.

Okay, then I probably have my years backwards as well.

I had remembered we approved foregone specifically for police and law enforcement, so that's where I just needed a clarification if 100% of foregone taxes were taken and given to the Purdom Drain project, even though we had voted on those that go to public safety.

So thank you for clarifying.

No, no, well, in that year it all went to the Purdham drain.

In the second year, in the council approval, we moved that to with council approval.

We moved that back to the police in year two, that one percent, but not in year one.

So both were done with council approvals.

Thank you.

Any further discussion?

We do have a motion and a second.

Roll call, please.

Scog, yes.

Yes, Rodriguez, Griffin, yes, Bills, yes, Reynolds, yes, all in favor, motion carries.

Thanks, John.

That was the time and space.

I did encourage him though to uh visit with staff, come to a public forum, reach out to the council if he has other concerns and questions.
