Subject: July 12 River Meeting Results
Thanks to all 23 who attended the Boise River flooding discussion on Wednesday July 12. The participant list is
attached for your ongoing networking. Please do let me know who else needs to be included. Thanks.
As a group, an agreement was made to meet again to continue learning and exploring what can be done to
continually improve Boise River flood -related issues.
NEXT Meetina:
Thursday, August 3, 2006
3:00 to 4:30 p.m.
State Capitol, House Caucus room, 3rd Floor
Targeted Agenda Topics: (Please let me know how to be in contact with the right presenters on our 3 topics.
Thanks.)
1. David Jackson regarding mitigation planning, - Scott VanHoff, or whom, can help with this?
2, 2006 River Flows and Embankment changes and what needs to be/can be done, - WHO can help on this?
3. Code Examples from other states related to floodway management that could work in Idaho — Scott VanHoff,
can you help with this?
Please invite people that you believe should be in attendance at the next meeting. Thanks.
July 12. 2006 Meetina Notes:
Boise River from Lucky Peak to the Snake River maps provided by Tony Morse at Idaho Water Resources —
Thanks.
The 2006 Boise River events are considered "full banks" rather than real flooding by scientists and engineers who
track the River.
Concerns along the River: property, roads, bridges, water treatment plants, and others.
Three dams up river affect the River: Lucky Peak, Arrowrock and Anderson Ranch.
Give the River room to move — don't build it all up. The River is a system and should be looked at as the Targe
system it is.
FEMA views Boise and the Boise River as a high risk situation. Some are exploring grants for more river research
and actions.
7/18/2006
Page 2 of 2
Flood information maps are out of date because FEMA information is not accurate. Maps depicting flood -zones
need updating.
In late September the new Canyon county FEMA map will be released.
Also Discussed
A. Planning — The Treasure Valley Partnership is doing some work on building ordinances. Mayor Nancy
Merrill shared information.
B. Emergency Response — Both Ada and Canyon counties have plans in place, contacts identified, and yet
there is not clarity on who will pay for response work completed. Ada County annually updates its plan.
Doug Hardman, Pat Lucas, and Jerry Russell spoke to this area.
C. Emergency Recovery 2006 — some discussed occurred here, but no clear actions resulted.
D. Emergency suggestions for action: need consistent and strong flood plain ordinances, could clarify state
code dealing with Flood Control Districts, local jurisdictions need disaster recovery funds and to push
buying flood insurance, encourage home owner associations to have funds for embankment maintenance
and repair, identify who is responsible for breaches, other states have codes on development in floodways
and flood zones — Idaho could too, River and flooding issues affect every county in Idaho.
E. There are 57 levies along the Boise River and only about 6 of them are structurally safe. An inventory of
the levies is needed.
What else needs to be in our minutes?
Feel free to contact me.
Thanks Again,
Jana Kemp

Local Option Transit Tax /Regional Public Transportation
Authority
The Coalition for Regional Public Transportation, which is based in the Treasure Valley,
is a large group of business leaders and local officials who are concerned about the future
of public transportation in the region. This Coalition began meeting in November 2005
with the intent of learning more about transit on a local, regional and national level, about
how public transportation works, how it is funded, and what needs to be done to develop
a regional public transportation system in the Treasure Valley.
In May 2006, the Coalition completed work on a recommendation for a local funding
source available to any regional public transportation authority in the state to fund public
transportation. The proposed funding legislation is a revision of the existing regional
public transportation (RPTA) code. It would give RPTAs the ability to ask voters to
approve a sales tax dedicated for transit.
Included in this packet is the following information:
• The key elements of the Treasure Valley regional public transportation plan.
• A cost projection for Treasure Valley bus operations and high capacity transit
development.
• A color map showing the six-year build out of the regional transit system.
• A question and answer sheet on the funding recommendation, along with a coalition
membership list.
• Fact sheet about the proposed legislation.
• Copy of the RS.
For more information on the Coalition for Regional Public Transportation and the
funding recommendation, you can visit www.vallevreaionaltransit.org (click on the
Transit Coalition Link) or contact Roy Eiguren, VRT Legislative Consultant, at 208-388-

What are the Key Elements of the Treasure Valley
Regional Public Transportation Plan?
Valley Regional Transit (VRT), the regional public transportation authority for Ada and Canyon counties
was established by a majority of citizens (70 percent) in a ballot referendum held in November 1998.
VRT is a public agency governed by a board of 28 local elected and appointed officials charged with
planning, coordinating and implementing public transportation services in the two -county region.
The 2005 base system was established by VRT in a restructure of transit services in and between the
cities of Nampa, Caldwell, Boise and Garden City. The goals for the restructure were to establish a
foundation to build future regional service improvements, improve regional connections, make the system
simple and direct, and offer more frequent services on key corridors.
The plan for service expansion builds on the 2005 base system and offers services in every city in
Ada and Canyon counties. The build -out for the system would be completed in a six-year time frame
with the requested funding level.
The coverage and frequency of services and hours of operations are scaled to fit the need of rural and
urban communities. Transit infrastructure such as park and ride lots, transit centers, and maintenance
and operations facilities are proposed to tie the services together through a regionally coordinated capital
plan.
The plan emphasizes improving regional connections along major corridors and improving options to
make the services more desirable to commuters as well as those who are dependent on the transit
system to meet their transportation needs. The services would include expanded hours of service (5 a.m.
to 10 p.m.) along many of the major routes, as well as additional frequency, which would increase peak
service from every 30 minutes to every 15 minutes in key regional corridors and local routes.
Beyond the six-year plan, the longer-term vision for transit in the region includes acquiring the existing
rail corridor, and locating, designing and building the transit infrastructure referenced above. High
capacity transit, such as bus rapid transit and fixed -guideway streetcar services will be developed in key
transportation corridors and urban centers.
If You Build it Will They Ride?
Local and state leaders have heard from thousands of citizens between 2002 and 2005 through public
opinion surveys, open houses, informational meetings, hearings and community presentations designed
to seek comments and gain an understanding of the needs and wants of area residents for a regional
public transportation system. Below are some of the common themes found in outreach efforts:
• 2002 — In a random telephone survey conducted by Northwest Research of 600 households in
Ada and Canyon counties 88 percent of survey respondents in both Ada and Canyon counties
said they support developing regional transit services. Eighty percent of respondents indicated
they would use the services one to two times a week
• 2003 — A random telephone survey of 600 residents in Idaho found that 60 percent of survey
respondents identified a lack of public transportation services in Idaho as the #1 and #2 "major
causes" of transportation problems in the state.
• 2004 poll of Boise Metro Chamber members concerning the quality of life in the Treasure Valley
found that 70 percent of respondents think the adequacy of the transportation system to support
growth is a major challenge facing the region's businesses.
• 2003 through 2005 approximately 2,000 residents from the Treasure Valley participated in
workshops, open houses and presentations on the regional transportation system. Strong
support for public transportation was a common theme throughout the planning process.
Increasing gas prices and the pressures of growth on the transportation system in the Treasure Valley
will likely solidify the already strong support for public transportation.

Q&A
RECOMMENDATION FOR LOCAL OPTION FUNDING
FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
What is the Coalition for Regional Public Transportation?
The Coalition is composed of business leaders and local officials from the Treasure Valley.
What is the Coalition's obiective?
The Coalition's objective is to develop a recommendation available to any regional public
transportation authority in the state to fund public transportation. The Coalition will continue to
work with the leadership of Valley Regional Transit to enlist support from companies, business
leaders, chambers of commerce, legislators, interested citizens, statewide organizations and
community organizations to achieve passage of state legislation.
Why did the Coalition take on this important challenge?
Community leaders know that to sustain and enhance economic development opportunities, a
sustainable transportation system is critical. The Treasure Valley is experiencing rapid growth.
The April 2006 Ada and Canyon county population estimate (560,000) is approaching the
current projections for 2010.
What do the ptoiections indicate for the future?
Current trends indicate that the population of Ada and Canyon counties will exceed one million
people by the year 2030. Without significant investments in the transportation system,
including public transportation, this area will not be able to keep up with the transportation
needs. In addition, air quality continues to be a concern with business leaders and residents.
How can public transportation help?
The public transportation system planned for the region reduces projected increases in vehicle
miles traveled and vehicle emissions. In order for the region to continue enjoying growth and
prosperity and maintain a viable transportation system, alternatives to the single occupant
vehicle have to be developed and supported.
Is there a plan for regional public transportation in the Treasure Valley?
Valley Regional Transit and the Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho
(COMPASS) have developed the regional public transportation plan. The plan includes various
levels and types of service designed to expand transportation choices into a fully integrated
transportation system.
How is public transportation funded now?
The limited transit service available today in Ada and Canyon counties is supported by voluntary
local contributions from the local jurisdictions that receive services. These local contributions
are
40874.0007.870652.1
Page 2.
matched with limited federal funds. The current funding structure is not stable and does not
provide adequate resources to implement effective service levels.
What funding source did the Coalition conclude would be the best option for public
transportation in the region?
The proposed funding legislation is a revision of the existing regional public transportation
authority (RPTA) code. Upon voter approval in an election held within the jurisdictional
boundaries of the RPTA (Ada and Canyon counties), a local option sales tax would be used for
financing, constructing, operating and maintaining public transportation systems where there is
an adopted public transportation plan [Chapter 21, Title 40, Idaho Code].
Would the local option authority apply to anv service other than public transportation?
The funds raised under the local option authority of a RPTA could only be used for "Public
Transportation Systems" which would include systems and services designed to transport
customers on local and regional routes, including buses, vanpools, demand response services,
rail, rail corridor, park and ride and so forth, which are compatible with adopted state, regional
or local transportation plans [Section 40-2103].
How would the local option funding be approved?
The local option sales tax could only be on the ballot in November of an even numbered year to
assure a high voter turnout. Approval would be by simple majority [Section 40-2111].
What are the limits on how much sales tax could be levied in a referendum?
The legislation would authorize not more than 0.5 percent tax in the initial election. The local
RPTA will decide the tax rate in the initial election in an amount necessary to support adopted
plans and budgets. In subsequent elections, the maximum tax could not exceed 0.75 percent
[Section 40-2112].
Would the sales tax ever sunset?
The sales tax sunsets after 20 years unless it is reauthorized by voter approval. Reauthorization
in a general election may be considered two (2) years prior to the sunset date. The sales tax
collections will continue until any outstanding bonded indebtedness is retired [Section 40-2112].
How would the bond provisions in the legislation work?
The RPTA, upon 2/3rds voter approval, may issue bonds for purposes of financing its public
transportation infrastructure. A 2/3rds super majority is required by the Idaho Constitution and
is patterned after typical Idaho bond statutes [Section 40-2114 through 40-2118].
How are the sales taxes collected?
Sales taxes are collected through the State Tax Commission and distributed back to the regional
transportation authority [Section 40-2113].

RECOMMENDATION ON LOCAL OPTION TRANSIT FUNDING LEGISLATION
► The proposed legislation is a revision of the existing regional public transportation authority
(RPTA), upon voter approval, to levy a local option sales tax for the purposes of financing,
constructing, operating and maintaining public transportation systems where there is an
adopted public transportation plan [Chapter 21, Title 40, Idaho Code].
► "Public Transportation Systems" include systems and services designed to transport customers
on local and regional routes, including buses, vanpools, demand response services, rail, rail
corridor, park and ride and so forth, which are compatible with adopted state, regional or local
transportation plans [Section 40-2103].
► The sales tax referendum can only be on the ballot in November on even year elections to
assure a high vote turnout and would pass with a simple majority [Section 40-2111].
► The legislation would authorize not less than 0.1 percent or more than 0.5 percent in the initial
referendum. The tax would be imposed in amounts necessary to support adopted plans and
budgets. The maximum tax authorized would not exceed 0.75 percent [Section 40-2112].
► The sales tax sunsets after 20 years unless it is reauthorized by voter approval. Reauthorization
in a general election may be considered two (2) years prior to the sunset date. The sales tax
collections continue until existing bonded indebtedness is retired [Section 40-2112].
► The RPTA, upon 2/3 voter approval, may issue bonds, for purposes of financing its public
transportation infrastructure. Bond provisions are patterned after typical Idaho bond statutes
[Section 40-2114 through 40-2118]. Debt service is limited to no more than 20 percent of
revenues.
► Sales taxes are collected through the state tax commission and distributed back to the regional
transportation authority [Section 40-2113].

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Theresa Verschuren, Assistant to the Mayor
RE: Healing Field Flag Display Costs
DATE: July 18, 2006
The Mayor has asked for some basic information on the cost of Healing Field flag
display.
Healing Field is a temporary memorial — usually up only 4 days (though some
have left them up for a week).
The cost per flag is $15.00 dollars. One rebar installer is included with each 250
flags purchased. As the number of flags being purchased increases, so do
additional promotional items in each kit. The attached paper shows the various
packages and what is included.
Please note that if you purchase less than 600 flags ($9,000), it does not include a
grid map (showing you were to place the flags) or the marking cables. They can
be purchased separately ($40 custom grid and $60 marking cables).
Healing Field would like to see at least 5 x 10 spacing of flags (horizontal rows
spaced every 5 feet and vertical rows 10 feet apart). They say 1 acre with flags
spaced at 5 x 10 will accommodate about 820 flags ($12,300). Healing Fields
suggests the location should be a grass site and visible from the road, with
sufficient parking.
Merrill Park is the preferred location. Total acreage at the park is roughly 9 acres
(with about half of it grass), there is a large grass area to the east that would be a
good location. Please see the attached map of Merrill Park.
Flags can be kept or given away after the event.
There is a re -licensing Fee — to put the flags back up outside the calendar year
it will cost $600.00, or $100.00 inside the year.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Theresa Verschuren, Assistant to the Mayor
RE: Partnering with Boise City on a Grant for a Rain/Stream Gauge at Dry Creek
DATE: July 17, 2006
Boise City Public Works is applying for a grant to install new rain/stream gauges in
the Boise foothills. They would like to know if the City of Eagle would be interested
in partnering with them on the grant application for a gauge on Dry Creek
(somewhere above Highway 55).
The Mayor requested additional information to share with Council. I contacted Boise
City and spoke to Rob Bousefield, Assistant City Engineer. Below is information shared
by him.
The National Weather Service notified Boise City about an upcoming Weather Service
grant for rain/stream gauges. They also mentioned to Boise City that it would make
sense to have one more gauge to the West — on Dry Creek. The Weather Service does
not directly fund these gauges, they rely on partners to collect data (i.e,. Boise City)
Boise City will be adding new gauges and replacing some old gauges with real time
gauges which instantaneously provide data the National Weather Service at the
Airport.
Cost There is no upfront capital cost. There is no local match. The grant fully pays for
the equipment.
Benefit: I would provide advance warning for flash flooding — providing additional
protect to our citizens. It would also monitor what it really happening out there.
How they operate: The new Alert System rain/stream flow gauges will be tied into the
National Weather Service at the Airport. The gauges feed data back to weather service
where they are monitored. Equipment must be in a direct line of site to the Airport (so
a repeater may be necessary to transmit data).
Annual Maintenance: Operation and maintenance of rain gauges is not covered by the
grant. Currently, Boise City spends less than $1,000 a year for 4 rain gauges. In the past
3 years, they haven't had to buy any equipment. They are very low maintenance
(yearly battery change and dusting). But if things go wrong, crews need to research the
problem. There was a past problem of vandalism (shooting at them) and they had to be
replaced. Since then they found better protect and haven't had any incidents.
Equipment Cost
$4,000 - Rain /steam gauge to collect data
$4,000 - for a repeater (if needed to make a direct line of site) on ridge top to shoot the
information to the weather service
Replacement cost: Approximately $3,500 for a real time rain gauge
Question from Boise City: Is the City of Eagle interested in investigating it? Do you
want Boise to pursue the Dry Creek gauge?

Boise City Public Works is applying for a grant to install new rain/stream gauges in the Boise foothills. They
would like to know if the City of Eagle would be interested in partnering with them on the grant application for
a gauge on Dry Creek (see below). As you are aware, there currently is no gauge or warning system on Dry
Creek.
These new Alert System rain/stream flow gauges will be tied into the National Weather Service and greatly
assist them in issuing watches and warnings. A map is attached showing preliminary gauge locations.
If Eagle is interested in pursuing this, at your earliest convenience please contact:

Doug
As we discussed, Boise Public Works is planning on submitting a grant application to add / replace some rain
gauges with ALERT gauges. In one location (on Cottonwood), we would use a combination stream gauge /
rain gauge. A possible location for another combination guage would be on Dry Creek, somewhere above Hyw
55, and we were wondering if you or Eagle or ?? may want to team up on a grant application. You would have.
to come up with the annual maintenance costs for the gauge, but that is not too high.
The grant application is due around the end of Sept., but we would need to know well before that if we were to
team up.
Let me know what you think.
Rob
