We are excited to see it come to life! I am writing to make you all aware of some of the activities of some neighbors along the parcel border on the Lakemoor subdivision side as well as the unapproved plantings and construction that has occurred on that parcel without an approval from the City of Boise or the City of Eagle. Unapproved Additions Rob and Cary (meson that live at 739 E Lakebrook Ln, Eagle ID ((mesons) have had extensive construction work done on this parcel without approval or public review. On 10/29/2020 the (mesons planted a Colorado blue spruce, weeping spruce, and several ornamental grasses, killed all native grass and replaced it with domestic sod, and installed landscape lighting on city property directly behind our house within our established historic view without permission from the city. The Lakemoor ACC had a formal survey of property lines completed that establishes the park border which basically follows the fence pictured below. As you can see the !mesons pushed their project beyond their property line with several tree and ornamental grass plantings and landscape lighting. The Lakemoor ACC warned the !mesons against planting on public property as well as placed several conditions on the project with regard to patio and plant placement. The (mesons feel they are entitled to do whatever they want and ignored the ACC stipulations for patio and planting placement in addition to planting on city property as well. We have also filed a complaint against the (mesons with the Lakemoor HOA for the violation of ACC conditions regarding patio and planting placement. The Lakemoor ACC has no jurisdiction over public land so that is why I am writing the City of Eagle regarding the unapproved construction. The ACC has re-scinded the initial landscape approval as it was not followed by the (mesons but the (mesons are refusing to remove the additions they made to city property. The (mesons vehemently believe City property is theirs, to do as they please. Rob (meson expressed that clearly on a phone call with Justin on 10/28/20 when he said "We've talked to the Board (Lakemoor) and they said it was just fine to plant whatever we ((mesons)want on city property". We have an audio recording of this conversation that will confirm this statement. Justin has discussed this claim by Rob (meson with Dennis Baker of the Lakemoor HOA Board and he confirmed it is not what the Lakemoor Board told the (mesons. Unfortunately the (mesons feel that they are entitled to do whatever they want on public land and treat it as their own. We understand that some changes might occur to this parcel but expect that those changes should go through a public process as it is public land.

Harassment of Public on Public Land A group of Lakemoor residents including the (mesons have repeatedly harassed the public on public land. The Lakemoor residents which I am referring to live on the boarder of the park and the parcel in question. Unfortunately these residents have repeatedly verbally threatened, harassed, and turned sprinklers on anyone that gets close to the highlighted area below to deter them from using public property near their house. They have made the claim in the Planing and Zoning meeting for the annexation of this parcel that they have witnessed fornication, urination, defecation, and harassing of homeowners. I have lived on this lake for 11 years and have only seen these Lakemoor homeowners harassing fisherman. This even includes an 11 year old girl and her younger brother. I have documented numerous incidents and have video interviews with fisherman that can attest to this behavior. The only defecation or urination we have witnessed on public property have been the (meson's dogs which are allowed to roam free in this area. These Lakemoor residents along the lake have even planted numerous bushes and trees on city property without permission to restrict access and block the view of the greenbelt. The area in question is highlighted below in Figure 1 (Area). This parcel is in the process of being annexed by the City of Eagle as part of the Pamela Baker Park project. The highlighted area is very popular with folks that like to come and fish for bass on City property. We have lived in Lakemoor since 2011 and have never witnessed any of the folks that fish in the highlighted area to be hostile or disrespectful to the neighbors of Lakemoor. I have highlighted their actions and behavior below for reference. • Lakemoor residents on the lake have previously planted approximately 15-20 trees and bushes around the lake to prevent public access and block the view of the greenbelt from their properties. (1 on the map) • On numerous occasions Lakemoor residents in question have harassed and falsely told folks fishing on City property around "Tomahawk" near their house that they are on private property and they need to leave (2 on the map) • The Lakemoor residents in question have installed a "Private Property" signs well into city property to deter the public from accessing city property near their house (3 on the map) • After verbally harassing folks fishing on city property they have turned the sprinklers on them to force them to leave (I can provide other witnesses if needed including someone that was fishing and had the sprinklers turned on them if needed) (2 on the map) • During their recent patio expansion project the (mesons have re-wired the sprinklers on City property so that they can wirelessly control the sprinklers and turn them on when anyone is fishing in the highlighted area. (4 on the map) • The Imesons have installed wiring and landscape lighting across city property to provide uplighting on Cottonwood trees that are located well onto City property (5 on the map) • Imeson addition of Colorado blue spruce and weeping spruce wasplanted on City property. The tree was planted within our established historical view and it appears to have be done on purpose. (6 on the map) • The (mesons planted ornamental grasses on City property directly behind our house within our established historical view.

Any improvements to public property should go through a public process with input from all affected parties. We along with several other folks in Lakemoor fear that their behavior from these Lakemoor residents on the border of the park will continue and will become a challenge for the City once the Pamela Baker Park has been completed.lf these Lakemoor residents that border the lake would like to keep the public away from the property they should install a fence as many have done. We understand that there will be plantings and changes once the park is developed that could affect our property and view but we will have our chance to voice our opinion and be heard in a public hearing which is how public land should be developed.

The project area consists of an approximately 13-acre parcel north of the North Channel Boise River. Situated wholly within the floodplain,the project area is located in the Columbia/Snake River Plateau ecologic subregion of the Arid West, approximately 1.25 miles southeast of the intersection of State Highway 55 (SH-55) and South Edgewood Lane in Eagle,Ada County, Idaho, in Sections 15 and 16,04N, 01E or latitude 43.682265°, longitude-116.331574° (See Appendix A—Maps and Figures). 2.0 Data Collection and Projection Data collected in the natural features analysis were recorded using a Trimble R1 GNSS Explorer Global Positioning System (GPS),operating in the Collector application platform with sub-meter accuracy. ArcPro Global Information System (GIS)software was utilized following field visits to integrate spatial data gathered in the field with ArcGIS Earth to create project maps. All GIS mapping and analysis was conducted in the Idaho West State Plane Projection in the North American 1983 Datum. 3.0 Existing Conditions A baseline site assessment of the proposed Charlie Wood Park project area was conducted to determine the nature of existing land use, hydrology, utilities, easements,encumbrances,water rights, historic resources, and hazardous materials that may affect development of the proposed project. The assessment consisted of a desktop search of existing data and field visits to understand current conditions of the project site. 3.1 Land Use The area surrounding the proposed project's location is compiled of a multi-use commercial and residential urban landscape with the southern end of the study area near the North Channel of the Boise River.The river corridor is a valuable recreation commodity for the public and is utilized for biking, fishing,floating, bird watching, etc.The Boise River Greenbelt system runs through the study area, linking various municipalities along the river corridor through a network of trails, bridges, and paths. 3.2 Hydrology The study area is located in the Lower Boise River subbasin (Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 17050114), which drains 2,773 square miles (USGS 2021a).The Boise River flows generally in a westerly direction, originating in the Danskin,Trinity, and Sawtooth Mountain ranges and eventually discharges into the Snake River near Parma, Idaho.The main stem Boise River(HUC 17050114) has a mean annual discharge of approximately 3,300 cubic feet per second (cfs) as recorded at the closest United States Geological Survey(USGS) stream gauge located at the Glenwood Bridge in Boise, Idaho (USGS Gauge#13206000), which is approximately 3.1 river miles upstream from the project study area. City of Eagle—Charlie Wood Park Concept Parcel Use Recommendation 5 The study area is located along the North Channel Boise River(HUC 17050114007653).There is no discharge data readily available for the North Channel; however,some information suggests that a 60/40 flow split between the North and South Channels is a targeted ratio. Snowpack depth in the upper reaches of the watershed influences spring discharge rates significantly. The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), in conjunction with the Bureau of Reclamation, regulates discharge from the upstream dams to manage storage for irrigation and for downstream flood control. High water events are common in the lower Boise River and can reach flows in excess of 7,000 cfs depending on snowpack, spring temperatures, and rain events. Typical springtime high flows occur mid-May to mid-June and average 2,837 cfs at Glenwood. Low flows occur October through April and average 405 cfs based on monthly discharge data recorded over the last 37 years at the Glenwood gauge. 3 3 Fxistine Ut;��tie The Eagle Sewer District recently installed a 24-inch pressure sewer main adjacent to the east property line.The sewer main crosses the SE corner of the project area, crosses under the North Channel Boise River,and ultimately flows to the Boise Sewer Treatment Plant. Additionally, aerial photographs show overhead power lines adjacent to the western project area boundary. However, during field investigations,the overhead power lines were not observed. No other utilities were identified during the desktop data search or during field investigations. The most readily available and reliable source of power for the project would be located at the end of S. Edgewood Lane.Tying in to this power source would require coordination with the utility company (Idaho Power),cutting trench or direct drilling out to the park site, installing electrical conductors, and installing distribution terminals at either end.This would not be a complex undertaking but should be a consideration during future project planning and budget allocation. 3.4 Easements. Fnc'u hranres The project area is located in Parcel No. R7400680360, Lot 34 Block 1 of RENOVARE SUB NO 1.The City is the sole owner of the land within the parcel.The City of Eagle has an existing easement near the southeast corner of the project area fora 24-inch diameter pressure sewer main that crosses under the North Channel Boise River. The Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR) maintains jurisdiction of the bed and banks of the navigable waters of the state, including the North Channel Boise River.Any modification to the bed and banks of the river would require a stream alteration permit through the IDWR. National Pollutant Discharge E imination System The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality(IDEQ),operating under their authority over Section 401 of the Clean Water Act require any action resulting in greater than 1-acre of surface disturbance be authorized and permitted in accordance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System. 1,4.3 Discharge of Dredged or Fill Material in Waters of the United States The USACE,operating under their authority over Section 404 of the Clean Water Act require any action resulting in the discharge of dredged or fill material in waters of the United States, including wetlands be authorized and permitted in accordance with federal law. Project actions affecting waters of the United States, including wetlands would likely require permitting under the Nationwide Permit Program at the directed of the regional regulatory office project managers (s) in Boise, ID. City of Eagle—Charlie Wood Park Concept Parcel Use Recommendation 6 The Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA),operating under the authority of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) maintains regulations over development within special flood hazard areas including the floodplain and floodway. Background research identified the effective "Flood Insurance Study for Ada County, Idaho and Incorporated Areas"16001CV001C and the effective Federal Insurance Rate Map(FIRM) Panel 16001C0162J dated June 19, 2020. Additionally, North Channel Boise River flows developed for the FEMA 2003 Effective Model are based on a 50-year flow of 7,450 cfs and a 100-year flow of 12,375 cfs. Floodway and Floodplain boundaries are shown in Appendix A—Maps and Figures: Natural Features Map. Analysis indicates 95%of the project area is within the floodway(Zone AE).The remaining 5% is within the 100-year floodplain (Zone A). A base flood elevations (BFE) has been defined for the area which ranges from±2,574 feet above mean sea level along the east end to±2,571 feet above mean sea level along the west end of the parcel. Based on stipulations of the NFIP, any fill placed in the floodway would be required to result in a "No- Rise" in BFE. If project actions result in fill results in a "Rise" condition, a Conditional Letter of Map Revision and Letter of Map Revision would need to be submitted to FEMA for revision of the associated FIRM map(s). Eagle City Code Section 10-1-8-7G states all fill being placed in the floodplain and/or development within special flood hazard areas shall result in "no-net-loss of natural storage"volume. Any"development" would likely require a City of Eagle Floodplain Development Permit to maintain consistency with the City ordinance. 3.5 Water Rights and Irrigation A review of the IDWR website was conducted to identify any existing water rights for the parcel.Though no water rights for the parcel were found, it appears any water rights available would be "shares"from the New Union Ditch Company and/or Eagle Water Company. A records request was submitted August 3, 2021 to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) (Records Request#21392).The SHPO conducted a search of all known cultural,archaeological and historic sites within a 1-mile radius of the project area. Results of the records request show that 20 cultural and historic sites occur within the one-mile search radius including 2 archaeological sites, 7 historic architectural sites, and 11 linear sites consisting of 7 agricultural waterways,2 emigrant trails, 1 new road, and 1 railroad.The records search indicates no known cultural, archaeological or historic sites occur within the project area.Therefore, development of the project would not result in any adverse effect on cultural and historic resources. 3.7 Hazardous Materials The IDEQTerradex Web Mapping service was queried to identify known hazardous waste sites or hazardous waste generators with a half-mile of the project area.The database query did not identify any known sites or generators within the project area.The Terradex data query results are summarized in the Baseline Site Assessment Memo prepared for the project,which is available in the project Sharepoint site. City of Eagle—Charlie Wood Park Concept Parcel Use Recommendation 7 4.0 Natural Features Analysis 4.1 Major Habitats The project area and adjacent lands and waters support 6 major habitat types including forested riparian wetlands, herbaceous riparian habitats, lacustrine open water habitats,forested uplands,fallow uplands, and the riverine habitat associated with the North Channel Boise River. The forested riparian habitats consists of a relatively diverse, mixed stand of trees,shrubs and grasses. The tree strata consists of cottonwood, maple, elm, and catalpa trees with a shrub layer consisting mainly of dogwood, currant,false indigo,willows, and wild rose. The herbaceous understory of the forested riparian habitat consists mainly of reed canary grass,a dominant invasive species common to the region. The lacustrine open water habitats consist of two excavated ponds. Each pond supports a narrow herbaceous riparian habitat confined to the wetted perimeter of the pond.The aquatic habitat supports a number of species of fish including largemouth bass, bluegill,and warmouth. American bullfrog,a non- native species as observed in the ponds,as were painted water turtles,which are native to the state but introduced to the region.The lacustrine habitats are directly influence by groundwater associated with the Boise River and the elevation of the ponds is dictated by the flow volume being discharged in the adjacent river channel. The fallow upland habitat consists of very few species, mostly considered invasive, non-native,or both. Cheat grass and puncture vine are prevalent in the project area. No shrubs are present in the fallow uplands and a few scattered trees including Chinese elm,catalpa, and black locust make up the forested upland habitats. The riverine habitat consists of the North Channel of the Boise River from the ordinary high water mark riverward.This habitat supports a number of fish species including rainbow trout, brown trout, mountain white fish, large-scale succor,sculpin, dace,shiner, and chubs. A myriad of aquatic invertebrates inhabit the riverine habitat, as do amphibians including frogs and salamanders. Given the seasonal variability of river flows, aquatic plants are not prevalent in the riverine habitat. Appendix A—Maps and Figures shows major habitat types in the project area.Appendix B—Species Lists includes a list of all species observed in the project area during field visits. The study area is underlain by two different soil types making up a typical fluvial cobble,gravel,sand matrix common to the river floodplain (USDA 2021a).One soil unit in the study area, "Notus-LesBois complex,0-1 percent slopes,"was listed as predominantly hydric on the NRCS State list of hydric soils for Idaho(USDA 2021b).A map of soils within the study area, including a summary table derived from the NRCS Web Soil Survey, is located in Appendix A—Maps and Figures. 4.3 Aquatic Resources A total of four wetland habitats and two man-made excavated ponds were delineated, characterized, and mapped by a wetland scientist on May 27, 2021,within the 13-acre project study area.Two wetlands, including a palustrine forested habitat along an existing slough and the palustrine forested riparian habitat have a direct hydrologic connection with the Boise River, a tributary of the Snake River. The two excavated ponds on site, including the fringe herbaceous wetland habitats associated with them are directly influenced by groundwater associated with the Boise River,though no direct hydrologic connection was observed on site. Aquatic resources delineated in the project area are City of Eagle—Charlie Wood Park Concept Parcel Use Recommendation 8 documented in the Aquatic Resource Delineation Report prepared for the project. That report is stored in the project sharepoint site. 4.4 Special Status Species Special status species include plants and animals listed by the State of Idaho and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service(USFWS) as species that are considered sufficiently rare or prone to impact and require special consideration for either protection under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) or under other laws such as the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. 4.4.1 Threatened. Endangered, and Candidate Species The USFWS Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) database was queried to determine if any species listed under the ESA occur in or have the potential to occur in the project area.The IPaC database query identifies all listed species by county,which is a relatively general extent and does not specifically represent the conditions at the project area.The IPaC query identified one species listed as Threatened,slickspot peppergrass that may occur in the project area. During the aquatic resource delineation,the site was thoroughly scanned for any suitable habitat for slickspot peppergrass. Neither plants, nor suitable habitat was identified. Based on the absence of individuals and suitable habitat,the project would have No Effect on ESA-listed species. The IPaC database query report is included in Appendix C—Special Status Species. 4.4.2 Migratory Birds and Eagles The IPaC database query also identified 9 bird species that are considered species of particular concern either because they occur on the USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern list or warrant special attention in the project area. Key species on the list that are likely to occur in the project area for all or part of their life include bald eagle who winter and breed along the river corridor,evening grosbeak, and olive- sided flycatcher. Development of the project area into a nature park amenity is likely to result in an overall improvement to habitat for these special status species. Therefore, project actions are not likely to result in adverse effect to any migratory bird species or eagles.The IPaC database query report is included in Appendix C—Special Status Species. 3 3 'dab() cyc Gre3test `orsoF1'3ti " Need The Idaho Department of Fish and Game maintains a list of Idaho's Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN).A desktop search of the Idaho Fish and Wildlife Information System (IFWIS)was completed to identify sensitive plant and animal species considered Idaho's SGCN.The results of the database record search identified three SGCN that may be present in the project area.All species are bumblebees.The IFWIS database query report is included in Appendix C—Special Status Species. '„\-3:;\,.0 Soe ie The Idaho State Department of Agriculture,with support from the University of Idaho, Bureau of Land Management,and United States Forest Service publish a state list of Idaho's noxious weeds. Idaho's noxious weeds are plant species that have been designated "noxious" by law in the Idaho Code and include species that are known to make significant modifications on the landscape. The state list includes 70 species. During field investigations,4 listed noxious weeds were identified in the project area including whitetop,yellow iris, purple loosestrife, and puncture vine. Another significant invasive species that is prevalent in the project area is false indigo.This riparian shrub is a major problem in the Boise River corridor and much work has been done to develop methods for removing this species from the area. City of Eagle—Charlie Wood Park Concept Parcel Use Recommendation 9 Aquatic invasive species are also of concern in the project area. However, none were observed during field investigations. The proposed project actions should include measures to reduce and/or eliminate noxious and invasive species from the project area, either through mechanical means, application of herbicides or a combination of both methods. Non-native invasive species are shown in the Natural Features Map in Appendix A—Maps and Figures. 4.5 Photo Monitoring Points Four photo-monitoring points were established during the aquatic resource delineation to provide a consisted point for collecting annual monitoring photos of the project site. Each photo monitoring point is marked in the field with a survey hub. Initial site photos and data points were collected at each monitoring point during the delineation. These photos will be valuable in monitoring the success of the project actions as well as providing a future dataset that may prove useful in other land-use decisions. Photo points are shown in Appendix A—Maps and Figures. 5.0 Access Limitations and Parking Constrains Access to the proposed park is constrained by surrounding land use, property ownership, and situation of the project area in the floodplain/floodway. Given these existing constraints, access to the site will be primarily via the existing Boise River Greenbelt system accessed from existing parking areas,future foreseeable parking facilities, and proposed new parking opportunities identified through development of this concept plan. 1 Fxisting .Access a" D?rk;,,CY �l`�✓, -r .�,�t�e� Existing parking areas that could be utilized by the public for the proposed park includes: • An unofficial area along South Eagle Road, southeast of the SH-55 bridge (1.2 mile to park site) • Parking at Reid Merrill Park off E. Shore Drive and S. Palmetto Drive (1 mile to par site) • Designated greenbelt parking located in a shared lot with neighboring businesses off S. Edgewood Lane (.2 miles from park site) Other greenbelt access locations that lead to the park area are in residential neighborhoods not suitable or intended to handle large volumes of parked vehicles. S.2 Reasonably Fore R.°eh!e Ci;ti rP A nacc Ord C)frtortLinitiPC There is potential that a City-owned parking facility will be built near the intersection of Mace Rd. and S. Eagle Road at the southern terminus of the bike/pedestrian bridge currently being designed by contracted engineers.This potential future parking opportunity would be a primary access point for the public to navigate to the proposed project area via the existing greenbelt,guided by specific wayfinding signage. With the anticipation of additional parking needed to facilitate the use of the new park, it is proposed that local business and property owners near the proposed park be contacted to discuss possible shared parking opportunities. Existing access,ADA compliance, proximity to the park site, existing zoning, property ownership,and existing access are major contributing factors for identifying plausible shared parking opportunities. Based on these variables, property owners and existing businesses along S. Edgewood Lane, E. Riverside Drive, and S. Palmetto Drive are prime candidates for this discussion. City of Eagle—Charlie Wood Park Concept Parcel Use Recommendation 10 The Boise River is a highly valued public amenity in the Treasure Valley and is utilized all summer by floaters, anglers, bird watchers, etc. Another feasible point of access to the proposed park could be via the river. Floaters utilizing the river corridor could be provided access and wayfinding at the river's edge as a means of providing greater opportunities for the public to access and utilize the park Wayfinding Wayfinding signage would provide potential park users information to garner interest and the means of navigating to the proposed park site. Wayfinding should be strategically located at existing and proposed parking/access locations,described above.The wayfinding signage could be incorporated into existing greenbelt wayfinding signs or could be installed, in similar fashion at new locations where greenbelt users could readily access the proposed park. Access points and parking areas, both existing and proposed, as well as proposed wayfinding locations are shown in Appendix A—Maps and Figures. 6.0 Constructability Constraints and Opportunities Construction access is the main constrain for development of this project.The design team has discussed installing a temporary access just east of the existing steel girder bridge at the northwest corner of the project area to provide ingress/egress for construction equipment onto the site. The design of this crossing facility would be dependent on the equipment needed to construct the proposed project and would include either a temporary bridge or temporary hardened "wet" crossing of the existing slough.This may require use agreements with Renovare but without better construction access, the scope of work is severely limited and will be very costly. It is possible that the construction process will damage the existing asphalt pathway between the project area and S. Edgewood Drive but this cannot be assessed at this point without knowing the depth of asphalt and base installation. The construction process would begin at the far southeast corner of the site and move toward the existing access point. Staging for materials and equipment would be located in the northwest corner of the project area. Since this is not a highly visible site there are less concerns with vandalism and traffic control but these issues will still need to be addressed. Public neighborhood meetings for the stakeholders who will be directly affected by the construction disturbance should be held in order to attain public buy-in and address concerns. Coordination with the USACE, FEMA,and other agencies will need to commence immediately after budget and scope are determined.The permitting process will illuminate constructability constraints, especially in light of the project area situation in the floodplain/floodway as well as other environmental constraints that will guide the design process.The options provided in this section are high level,with the City's direction the design team will determine the best use of resources to yield the most appropriate land use for this site. 7.0 Concept Parcel Use Recommendations The following recommendations were developed following a visioning workshop where members of the design team brainstormed potential site development ideas based on constraints such as accessibility, landscape orientation, access to power and irrigation,and parcel situation in the floodplain. The design team sees great potential for this site to become a nature park and a true hidden gem for the public.There are opportunities to incorporate recreation opportunities,outdoor education amenities, compensatory wetland mitigation benefits, and long-term enhancements benefitting the biological integrity of the Boise River corridor. City of Eagle—Charlie Wood Park Concept Parcel Use Recommendation 11 To that end,the site location, although off the beaten path, is uniquely positioned for the proposed park project to incorporate design features that would establish a hydrologic connection between the Boise River and the existing slough that runs on the northern side of the site. Providing off-channel refugia would create trout spawning opportunities that are uncommon and highly desirable along the Boise River,which is largely devoid of off-channel spawning and brood-rearing habitat. Improving fisheries at the site would also create another draw to the park, building on the purpose of creating recreation opportunities while also benefitting the riverine habitat as a whole. Additionally, routing a small volume of river water through the existing ponds would mitigate the stagnant water issue and encourage water recreation and overall aesthetic appeal of the proposed park. The design team has also explored the option of lowering the site elevation on the northwest project area to improve hydrologic conditions suitable for a more diverse plant pallet.This lowering of the site and diversification of topography would substantially increase the breadth of available habitat benefiting the riparian habitat through species richness, increased biodiversity, and floodplain functionality. In the areas depicted in Appendix A—Maps and Figures, Concept Site Plan labeled wetland expansion areas;there is potential for lowering the existing topography sufficient to intercept the hyporheic zone (subsurface zone of saturation) of the nearby Boise River,thereby creating conditions suitable for the establishment of approximately 1.75 acres of wetland habitat.The benefit of creating wetlands as a component of the project would further enhance the biodiversity of the site and may be potentially used to compensate for the loss of aquatic resources as a result of other City projects(i.e. compensatory wetland mitigation). Under the 2008 Final Compensatory Mitigation Rule, establishment of wetlands at the project site for the purpose of providing compensatory mitigation for other City projects requires the City to implement a project that results in impacts to aquatic resources,thereby requiring permitting and compensatory mitigation under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Wetlands established at the project site cannot be used to offset future impacts from City projects that do not have a Section 404 permit and associated mitigation requirement. Building wetlands for future, unknown compensatory mitigation needs can only be done by a private mitigation bank or in-lieu fee mitigation program. As the City implements projects in the future,the park site could be utilized to provide compensatory mitigation via establishment of wetlands and other aquatic resources at later dates. The secluded nature of the project area provides a unique opportunity for birdwatching and the chance to view other wildlife as well. Installation of wood duck boxes, bat boxes, pollinator habitat,and raised boardwalks would increase the user experience immensely while also providing a valuable venue for environmental education and access for those whose mobility limits them from enjoying local wildlife. With these ideas in mind,the design team would like to present the following list of possible parcel use recommendations that would meet the project purpose and need to create a valuable, esthetic, and ecologically important amenity that the public will enjoy for years and decades to come. • Access-Include wayfinding signage to Greenbelt access points and parking areas. • River Restoration Enhancement-reconnect historic side from the Boise River through existing ponds and into the existing slough, creating off-channel salmonid brood rearing and spawning opportunities. • Establishment of aquatic habitats to offset impacts resulting from future City projects City of Eagle—Charlie Wood Park Concept Parcel Use Recommendation 12 • Waterwise Educational Garden- plant water or fire wise plants and include interpretive signage • Habitat enhancement-install bird boxes and pollinator habitat to encourage greater biodiversity • Bird Watching- install a bird viewing stand over tall vegetation with interpretive signage • Vegetative Buffer-plant evergreen and deciduous trees/shrubs to provide visual and auditory buffer from adjacent residential zone • Dryland Meadow- plant native and xeric vegetation for pollinators and birds • Fishing Peninsula- build earthen peninsula for better access to fishing pond • Habitat restoration- Reshape ponds and add islands to create a more diverse riparian habitat. • Educational Signage-include interpretive signage of wildlife and habitats around the project site to provide local educators a venue to expand knowledge and appreciation of local ecology. • Passive Recreation-create opportunities to sit and enjoy the site • Water Recreation- mitigate the stagnant water by piping in water from the Boise River making ponds attractive for non-motorized water recreation. • Multi use pathways-Connects the site to the existing Greenbelt trails and directs circulation through site. • Topographic recontouring to build complexity to uplands for improving plant diversity. • Non-native invasive species control.Terrestrial and aquatic. The lack of power and irrigation water at the project area is also going to determine what design elements can be implemented. During the visioning process, we discuss several options to bring these amenities to the site. Installing solar power infrastructure and using the water in the ponds to irrigate the planting was discussed.At this point we are not confident that there would be enough power to get the pressure required but this can be further investigated. The City could also contact Renovare to inquire if we could tap into their power and water for the establishment period. Planted vegetation, although selected to be water wise,will benefit greatly from a three year irrigated establishment period. Without this establishment period there is a high likelihood of non-native invasive plants outcompeting them resulting in a very long establishment period and a high mortality rate of desirable plants.The Ada County Highway District has been refining the process of vegetated bioswales over the last several years. Methods from their work can be incorporated into this project to improve the likelihood of successful plant establishment. Lists of proposed plant species are included in Appendix B—Species Lists.This suite of species have shown moderate to high success rates without irrigation,following a three-year irrigated establishment period.The following recommendations based on best professional judgement developed through years of experience in landscape design and application in the Treasure Valley will greatly improve the successful establishment of desired plants and plant communities for the proposed project: • Conduct a robust non-native, invasive species removal and control campaign at the onset of the project, preferably well in advance (1-2 years)of site development • Establish a supplementary irrigation source for the establishment period • Use seed or plant material native to the Treasure Valley • Utilize cover crops during the establishment period to dissuade non-desirable species establishment • Seed in the fall as these species need to over winter before they will germinate • Weeds can quickly outcompete your desirable species. A maintenance team ready to remove weeds every 2 weeks from March—October is recommended • Prioritize a goal of 90% desirable plant coverage within the first year of the project. Once you reach this point,the amount of maintenance significantly decreases • Recommended seeding rate for all of the grasses, rushes, and sedges are 25 to 50 lbs/live seed per acre. • It is not common for the initial seeding to take up to 2 years before full germination. City of Eagle—Charlie Wood Park Concept Parcel Use Recommendation 13 summary This draft report is intended to document existing site conditions and make future parcel use recommendations relative to current environmental and socioeconomic conditions in the vicinity of the project site. We anticipate this report will serve as a starting point for development of a site plan and as a tool for use in determining the cost reasonableness of project implementation. The project site is well suited for development as a mixed use recreation amenity as well as a valuable natural area.Accessible to educators and the general public,the park should include elements of environmentally conscious planning and ecological restoration, providing a venue showcasing the Boise River corridor and the value it provides to the citizens of Eagle and the greater Treasure Valley.

New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e)of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days.This verification can be completed formally or informally as desired.The Service recommends that verification be completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information.An updated list may be requested through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list. The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1)and 7(a)(2)of the Act and its implementing regulations(50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or designated critical habitat. A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects(or other undertakings having similar physical impacts)that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act(42 U.S.C. 4332(2) 08/13/2021 Event Code: 01EIFW00-2021-E-04200 2 (c)). For projects other than major construction activities,the Service suggests that a biological evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12. If a Federal agency determines,based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at: http://www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act(16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require development of an eagle conservation plan (https://ww.fws.gov/migratorybirds/pdf/management/eagleconservtionplanguidance.pdf). Additionally,wind energy projects should follow the wind energy guidelines(https:// www.fws.gov/ecologica-services/energy-develpment/wind/html)for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and bats. Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: https://www.fws.ov/bidsbird-enthusiasts/threats-to-b i rds/collisions/communication-towers.php. We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project that you submit to our office.

Please make sure you read and understand the FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report"before using or attempting to interpret this report. Probability of Presence ( ) Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s)your project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-week months.)A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence.The survey effort(see below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high. 08/13/2021 Event Code: 01EIFW00-2021-E-04200 How is the probability of presence score calculated?The calculation is done in three steps: 1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is 0.25. 2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12 (0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2. 3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the probability of presence score. Breeding Season ( ) Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time-frame inside which the bird breeds across its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project area. Survey Effort(1) Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys. No Data (—) A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week. Survey Timeframe Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse. probability of presence breeding season I survey effort —no data SPECIES I, VAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT, NOV DEC Bald Eagle Non-BCC 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 111 t 414+ ++ 1411. 1 11 Vulnerable Be , BCC CC Rangewide 11 I I -}-f+� t f I 10111 111 i F+4 111 I * � I +f111*44 �W�I III I Ra (CON) 08/13/2021 Event Code: 01EIFW00-2021-E-04200 4 Clarks Grebe BCC Rangewide 1 f I T 1 11 1111 111 111$ $+++ ++++ +++41 ISO 1 ++1-+ ++}+ 1141 (CON) ,j, j I y I y y,j, Evening Grosbeak +*TT +-�+_I 1 H ++T* 1 1 1 1 ++++ +1++ ++ 1 1- T T+I 1T1-T 1+ 1 TT� 1 BCC Rangewide T T (CON)Fran 1 j 1 j j f i BCC lin'sRan Gull L 1�_� �+++ ++++ ++S I II 1 � ++++ ++++ 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 11+T ++++ ++++ BCC Rangewide I I (CON) j j j j j j j i j j j j j j j j j l j j j j i j j 1 f Lesser Yellowlegs 11 1 1. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1+1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 I -1 1 1 1 1� 1 1 1*1 I }+1 1 } }_� 11 1 1 1 BCC Rangewide j (CON)W 1's Woodpeckerf i. l l TM ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ +$++ 101+ ++++ ++1 BCC Rangewide (CON) + ii j iy 1 Flycatcher ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ +++T +T++ ++++ +++T I+++ ++++ ++++ ++++ Flycatcher BCC Rangewide (CON) u Hummmm ingbird ++++ 111 11111 1 +-1-+ +0++ +111 111 11111144 ++++ ++++ TMH BCC Rangewide (CON) Additional information can be found using the following links: • Birds of Conservation Concern http://www.fws.gov/birds/management/managed-species/ birds-of-conservation-concern php • Measures for avoiding and minimizing impacts to birds http://www.fws.gov/birds/ management/project-assessment-tools-and-guidance/ conservation-measures.php • Nationwide conservation measures for birds http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/pdf/ management/nationwidestandardconservationmeasures.pdf Migratory Birds FAQ Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds. Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area.When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures or permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species present on your project site. 08/13/2021 Event Code: 01EIFW00-2021-E-04200 What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location? The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC)and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location. The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid cell(s)which your project intersects, and that have been identified as warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or development. Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the AKN Phenology Tool. What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location? The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network(AKN). This data is derived from a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets. Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me about these graphs" link. How do I know if a bird is breeding,wintering, migrating or present year-round in my project area? To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within(i.e. breeding, wintering, migrating or year-round), you may refer to the following resources: The Cornell Lab of Ornithology All About Birds Bird Guide, or(if you are unsuccessful in locating the bird of interest there), the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Neotropical Birds guide. If a bird on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your project area, there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area. What are the levels of concern for migratory birds? Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern: 1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern(BCC) that are of concern throughout their range anywhere within the USA(including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands); 2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and 08/13/2021 Event Code: 01EIFW00-2021-E-04200 6 3. "Non-BCC -Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area,but appear on your list either because of the Eagle Act requirements(for eagles)or(for non-eagles) potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities (e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing). Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics. Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean Data Portal.The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may be helpful to you in your project review.Alternately, you may download the bird model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf project webpage. Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring. What if I have eagles on my list? If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur. Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of birds of priority concern.To learn more about how your list is generated,and see options for identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s)that overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look carefully at the survey effort(indicated by the black vertical bar)and for the existence of the "no data" indicator(a red horizontal bar).A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey effort is high,then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of certainty about presence of the species.This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might be there, and if they might be breeding(which means nests might be present).The list helps you know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities, should presence be confirmed.To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell 08/13/2021 Event Code: 01EIFW00-2021-E-04200 me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page. 08/13/2021 Event Code: 01EIFW00-2021-E-04200 Wetlands Impacts to NWI wetlands and other aquatic habitats may be subject to regulation under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, or other State/Federal statutes.

July 29, 2021 2021- MEMO FROM THE MAYOR SUBJECT: The Heart-Break of a Missing Child,Part 1 At a Glance: • Police can expect a kidnapper who intends to murder an abducted child to do so within 24 hours in 91% of the cases based upon a State of Washington Study. • When parents or guardians determine their child is missing,they need to report it to law enforcement right away—no waiting. • Parents and guardians of young children in Emmett need to acquire and complete a Keep My Child Safe Kit from the Emmett Police Department if they have not already done so. Some Horrific Statistics School is now in session. Accordingly, the City of Emmett takes a pro-active stance with regard to our children's safety, particularly their going to and from school. For example, Public Works will redo the cross-walk striping so they can be clearly seen—at least when road white paint is available. We are currently experiencing shortages due to, you guessed it, Covid. For the first week or so,we increase our police patrols around the schools to make sure the school speed zones are obeyed. We sometimes install certain electronic signs, such as rapid flashers at school crosswalks or speed detection signs that inform drivers closest to the sign the speed at which their vehicle travels. Later, once the students are settled into their routines, School Resource Officers (SROs) will have talks in individual class rooms about safety issues. But what happens when children go missing? What do we do then? Indeed, what does our community as a whole do then? We have been heavily touched in recent months in this area where missing children are concerned. To be sure, there exist different episodic types when children go missing. The Department of Justice recognizes at least six: (1)Nonfamily Abduction, (2) Stereotypical Kidnapping, (3) Family Abduction, (4)Runaway/Thrownaway, (5)Missing Involuntary, Lost or Injured, (6)Missing Benign Explanation. The one aspect about"runaway"that Chief Kunka and I agree upon, focuses upon what the response should be when a child is reported as having runaway. For our purposes, the Emmett Police Department and our newly established protocol addressing the Mandatory Alert for Missing Children(MAMC)requires that when a child is reported as having runaway, we don't wait for that child to"stay overnight" somewhere. We take immediate action. Accordingly, we expect parents and our school officials to utilize the same standard. To do otherwise is fool hardy—indeed, to do otherwise is criminally negligent. A 1992 study conducted by our neighboring state of Washington entitled Investigative Case Management for Missing Children Homicides found that while 19% of missing children were reported as missing immediately upon their discovery of being so, and 25%were reported after one hour, and the vast majority, 86%,were reported within twenty-four hours, regrettably, that same report found that 44% of children abducted and murdered, experienced their fate of homicide within one hour of their abduction. 91% of the abduction and murders in Washington studied happened within twenty-four hours. Parents Should be Proactive Before Being Reactive Allstate—that's right, the good hands people—have produced a handy document called the "SafeWise Kids Child ID File". The Emmett Police Department has several of them, and it would make this mayor ever so thrilled if we had to place several orders for more. Why? Because it would mean Emmett's parents are being proactive before they have to be reactive in reporting a child as missing. The Child ID File is cleverly conceived. It gives cues to the parents in writing as they complete it. For example, it cues parents to update the file regularly as the child grows (at least yearly) and to keep it in a safe, accessible place. Guns safes come to mind. It also cues parents to review safety procedures with their children regularly. For example, they are instructed to listen to their concerns and worries. The single most important tool is a current photo ID of the child. Inexplicably,when one goes to the Idaho State Police website for missing persons, their photos cannot be readily found. Emmett's response will be different. Having at least one parent's permission, we will post the photo of a missing child on the official City of Emmett website and, through other social media platforms, direct local residents to the city website photo. Chief Kunka and the Emmett City Police Department are making child safety in the City of Emmett a major emphasis. It has been observed that one can determine the value of a society by how that society treats its young and its aged. For example, parents and guardians (typically, grandparents)can come to the Emmett Police Department and obtain"Keep My Child Safe"kits, that include having children fingerprinted, the Child ID File and an eight by three-and-one-half inch pre-printed card, laminated, that provides a"cheat sheet"on (1)how parents can be proactive by utilizing"safe talk"early and regularly, (2)how to be prepared in case a child goes missing(essentially,prepare a Keep My Child Safe Kit, now available at the Emmett Police Department) and(3)what to do if a child turns up missing. The first four items on the list are crucial to Emmett's system. • SEARCH your home(immediately) and check with relatives, neighbors, and friends to try and locate your child; and • If you cannot find your child, immediately REPORT your child as MISSING to local law enforcement(911); and • LIMIT access to your home until law-enforcement officers arrive and able to collect evidence; and • GIVE LAW ENFORCEMENT officers ALL of the information they request about your child, especially any information that would assist them in the search (i.e., the Keep My Child Safe kit). In the next installment,we will cover more preparation hacks, such as keeping an old toothbrush in an envelope licked to close BY your child at room temperature in a dry, easily accessible place far away from heat—and more on MAMC. • City o J. D. HUFF Fruitland POLICE DEPARTMENT Chief of Police 200 S. WhitIey 208-452-3001 �✓ O. P.O. Box 324 FAX 208-452-6167 FRUITLAND, ID 83619 Prepared comments from Fruitland Chief of Police JD Huff, presented at a Press Briefing, 2:00 p.m.,Wednesday, August 4, 2021. Introductions: Captain Matt Sly Idaho State Police, Chief Jon Plaza Payette Police Department, Payette County Sheriff Andy Creech,Chief Jerry Campbell Fruitland Fire Department, Ron Christensen Idaho Mountain Search and Rescue. Michael's family is not here with us, but our thoughts are with them and we ask you to respect their privacy at this very difficult time To begin, we are just beyond the one week mark in our search for our missing and endangered 5- year-old Michael Joseph Vaughan. I have to tell you that I spent my entire childhood in the neighborhood where Michael went missing. My children are growing up here. My law enforcement partners are mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, or friends of children just like Michael. We are all in and we are committed to finding Michael. As you know, Michael was last seen near his residence on SW 9th St. at approximately 6:30 pm on Tuesday,July 27, 2021. The first missing and endangered child alert went out at 8:20 pm with four different alerts to email, phone call and texts messages being issued to area residents until 11:20 pm that night. Michael's image and information went out to a nationwide law enforcement database known as NCIC(National Crime Information Center). Since the time of notification, the Fruitland Police Department, FBI, Idaho State Police, with assistance from the Boise Police Department and 13 different Idaho law enforcement Agencies conducted complete and methodical and thorough searches. That search has included nearly 200 residential homes and properties and interviews with all of the residents. 5 year olds can get into things. We have looked through nearly 200 garbage cans,drained canals and irrigation ditches, and pumped a septic tank in the area that had a make-shift 2x6 wooden lid. We have gathered over 60 different video files from residential and business security cameras and are combing through that data as we speak. To date, we have received 163 tips. All have been assigned to investigators for follow up. Many have already been cleared. Others are being worked on as we speak. I We have conservatively estimated the number of man hours from law enforcement agencies only to be in the 2,500 hour range. That doesn't include our fire, EMS, search and rescue partners or the hours put in by volunteers from our community. I have never seen a police presence like this before and on behalf of Michael's family and the citizens of the City of Fruitland I sincerely extend our thanks to all of the Chiefs and Sheriffs who have come to our aid providing manpower and resources over the last week and in the weeks to come. I would also like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to our friends and residents in the primary search area of SW8th St., SW9th St., Crestview Subdivision, Hidden Meadows Subdivision,and the Three River's Way Subdivision. Your patience with our investigation doesn't go unnoticed. We have been through your homes and in some instances several times. I truly appreciate your help. Our search and rescue efforts include the assistance of our citizens from the night Michael went missing to present. I thank you and ask you to continue to search your property as, again, 5 year olds are crafty and can get into small places. Since notification, we have conducted an exhaustive ground search employing the Idaho Fish and Game, Idaho Mountain Search and Rescue Team, National Center for Missing and Exploited Children,both Fruitland and Sand Hollow Fire Departments, and a coordinated search effort by citizens. We have methodically and thoroughly searched over 3000 acres of farm ground with multiple certified canine teams. We have searched 29 miles of riverbank using private fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, sophisticated drones, boats, boats with canines, kayaks, and paragliders. I'm unsure of the number of man hours involved in this effort, but I'm sure it would mirror the investigative effort. Drone flights will continue, along with river bank searches by boat. This morning, the search continued into the area below SW8th St. where some heavy foliage was removed and a specialized canine deployed. In the near future we have a dive team scheduled to search ponds in the slew area near the SW 8th St. Our intensive search and rescue efforts will continue as long as we have resources available. We know people in this community and elsewhere are concerned about Michael. We will continue to issue updates as best we can and as the investigation allows. 2 To our local media, thank you for working with us. It's difficult to respond to every individual inquiry. We will try to address your questions in the updates we issue, and we appreciate your patience. Please understand, we cannot detail the nature of some of the information we've received or are looking into. We do not want to release anything that could jeopardize our ability to find Michael. What I can say is we have not eliminated any possibility. Social media can be a great tool, but sadly, can also be a hindrance to sharing accurate information. If there is a development in this case, I will notify you. If the information on Facebook or any social media doesn't come from me or the Fruitland Police Department, you need to consider it suspect. Rumors, speculation, and innuendo complicate our investigative efforts. We really appreciate the community's support in this. Back to NCIC. Michael's information as an endangered Missing Child was entered into NCIC (National Crime Information Center)database as soon as possible after he was reported missing. That means if Michael is found by law enforcement anywhere in the country, he'll be identified and we'll be notified. What can people do? If you live in the immediate area, please thoroughly search your property, if you've looked once look again. Look in all outbuildings and vehicles. Walk fence lines. We also ask residents to review any security camera footage for any sign of a small child in the area. We continue to say this, but children move around and wander, they may have traveled back into your yard without your knowledge. If you know something, perhaps you've been unsure, even afraid to reach out to us and share it, we're here, we want to listen to what you have to say. We are very grateful for the public's assistance and again, we're following up on each lead we receive. Our Investigators are laser-focused and morale is good. We support each other. We are committed to finding Michael and will leave no stone unturned. We also want to emphasize Michael/MJ's family continues to be fully cooperative with law enforcement. We ask the community to be respectful of their privacy. 3 Michael was last seen wearing a light blue Minecraft t-shirt,dark blue or black boxer briefs with a green stripe and child's size 11, blue flip flops. He stands 43 inches tall, is 50 lbs., with blonde hair and blue eyes. He answers to the nickname "Monkey." If you see Michael/MJ or have information, please call the Payette County Sheriff's Office at 208-642-6006 Ext 0. Additional comments from Chief Huff given at the press briefing: We've employed a dive team to come in soon. The reason why we're doing that is because we have a lot of resources available to us. While we're not sure what happened, we're going to use every resource available. They're going to be at the end of SW 8'h Street down by the Snake River and the slew area. A few private individuals have contacted me about a reward. That will be coming. For people from outside the immediate Fruitland area who want to help,they need to take a look at our flyers and stay vigilant. That's the best thing they can do for us. We've got a lot of support in this community and everybody wants to help. We're all emotionally tied to this and we appreciate that. Our primary goal, the number one goal we all have is to find Michael and bring him home. I want to just thank our community. In the last seven days, our community partners, business owners have donated a countless amount of food and drink to our search effort and I just want to throw it out there to them that they've been wonderful, their support has been great,just a sincere thank you. The intense heat has been a problem,especially with the canines. They're tough but they can only go so long before those dogs need a break. I'd say the same thing for our searchers. They're out there slugging it out in the field, sometimes through the mud, doing what they do. I can't say enough for them, they're super tough. After the heavy rain the other, it was also a major concern with the scent tracking dogs. We will continue to deploy them as long as they're available to us.
