City Treasurer provides explanations to the public testimony that was given tonight.
Long Range Planner,Nichole Barid Spencer states that the pump has been purchased for Pamela
Baker Park and it is budgeted to be installed next year.
City Treasurer explains the taxable value in Eagle.
Discussion regarding tax levy rates.
Council Russell states by not taking the 3% we are risking funding things using one-time fees
because we do not have a significant property tax income to our City.Yet the City is increasing the
police budget by $700,000 instead we are reallocating funds from a Capital Maintenance Project.
How do you continue to do that year after year when you are not having enough funding to cover
the basics. If we do take the 3% it would not resolve in a property tax increase this year.
Treasurer Rekow,states that per Google,the median home price in Eagle is$828,000.For the City
tax bill only, it would be $392.23 if the City took a 1%increase.
General Discussion.
Council May states that when you do the budget,we have a lot of wish list items in there and a lot
of needs.Next year the City should start with a flat budget of what we absolutely need.The Council
was very generous this year. This is not a position that they should be in. The Council needs to
have the revenue assumptions in the begging and start with brass tax. What do we need and then
we build. We need to manage expectations within our own resource. This is not free money.
Rekow states that the firm number for property taxes are received last minute and they comply with
state code dates.
Council May states that next year, there needs to be more discussion time and more information
between Council members before the deadline.
Council Russell recommends taking the small amount of a little less 1%.
Russell moves,pursuant to Idaho Code,Section 50-902,that the rule requiring Ordinances
to be read on three different days with one reading to be in full be dispensed with,and that
Ordinance#941 be considered after being read once by title only. Seconded by

Gindlesperger states that law enforcement is always top priority. However, from a business

Page 5
K:\COUNCIL\MINUTES\Temporary Minutes Work Area\CC-08-13-24agmin.docx
needs to be continued to be funded for. We have nothing to base our data on for the actual level of
service. The City needs to stay in our means and be fiscally responsible. Kvamme wants
clarification that nothing is being eliminated from the proposed budget that was discussed at the
last meeting.He is not adverse on taking back on the capital projects budgets and operation budget.

won't be any available when we need them next year. May agrees with Council Kvamme.

Comments regarding Eagle City Budget.
- Please increasing the funding for expanding and maintaining the Eagle city trails along the
greenbelt. Eagle and Boise have the luxury of having the Boise River in their back yard,whereas Meridian
and other areas do not have this luxury! Please capitalize on this great asset that people love to utilize! It
is a "crown jewel"with so much more potential for Eagle city!
- Please work with and help fund the Eagle Island State Park trail connection from Eagle to Eagle Island
State Park. Building the trail would be much much better along the river rather than along the freeway
like highway 44 that is .... hot, noisy, and does not provide the beauty and nature deficit relief like along
the river!
- Please provide some funding for at least some shade trees on the development of Baker Park on E
Colechester Dr. Get some trees planted for needed shade relief for this potentially fully developed great
park near the Boise river and ponds.

Parks, trails, and open space are key elements that people love ...and they will provide the impetus for
people to move and live in Eagle!
Thanks,
Paul Werner

I apologize, I grabbed the wrong text. Eagle City Code 1-8-3 (c)(1) establishes the timeline for written
testimony. It applies not only to land use items, but to any public hearing item.

Dear Mayor and Council Members,
I am writing to express my support of the Eagle Public Library Proposed Budget. Our library is widely used
by our community and receives positive feedback on a monthly basis.This building and its staff provide a
safe and welcoming space to people of all ages in all weather conditions. The resources of our library in
particular are coveted throughout the valley and people travel to use our Library of Things and Family
Space. Please support the proposed budget for the Library-this is an amazing asset that does so much
with the funding provided.
Thank you,
Candice Hopkins

Subject: RE: Bus System-help setting up On Demand in Eagle
Hello Lisa,
I am sorry to hear you are having difficulties with our system. Let me see if I can clear up some confusion.
First, let's start with ADARide. I would highly recommend that you apply to our Access and Beyond Access programs.
To apply, go to ADARide.com or call 877-343-7433. Disregard the zip code message and continue the application.
You are not in the Access service area but in the Beyond Access service area. If you are eligible for Access, you are
automatically eligible for Beyond Access. If you are not eligible for Access, you must be 60 or older to qualify for
Beyond Access.
As you rode with the Eagle Senior Center, you are already in our Beyond Access program.You may utilize this service
now, but please still apply to ADARide so that you may continue to use Beyond Access.

i
The OnDemand bus is the general public bus that is booked at the time of needing a bus. Unfortunately, you won't
be able to book for a future date or time. At this time, the OnDemand is in service, but the Eagle City Council is
considering not continuing the funding of the OnDemand service for the next fiscal year. If the council approves the
current budget, the OnDemand service will be discontinued on October 1st.

Subject: Fwd: Bus System-help setting up On Demand in Eagle
CAUTION:This email originated from outside of Valley Regional Transit. Do not click links or open attachments unless you verifii
See my email below... &years later...l'm still trying to figure out how the heck to use the bus system to &
from my downtown Eagle hm
...to confirm why I have not used the On Demand yet... your VRT Online is clear as mud on steps ... it's do
this do that ...but when I go to the Ada ride website... to register for Access (so that I can then be official
for Beyond Acces, per my multi disabilities, I'm now 51...) it it says not avail in my zip code...
..& I've set up the various bus apps multi times...incl for the "On Demand" but the on demand app hadn't
worked yet for me... always says "try back later"...I don't know if that's because I'm always trying to set
stuff up in evening/weekend for weekdays but it seems at some point it should work...
...And yes over the years I've called &emailed but I never get a clear answer... I was told last yr that "all I
need to do is use the app as I'm already in the system"...as I used the Eagle Senior Van for transport from
2019-2022... but since I've never gotten the app to work I don't know if that's true or not...
Help I have brain disease &other issues that make phone calls hard so I rely on Ada accommodation
ofwritten communication vs calling in...
This email is triggered because I just see (from VRT announcement on Nextdoor app Fri 8/09 that on
8/13city of Eagle will be removing(again?)the new On Demand from Eagle?! Likely I'm not the only
one having trouble getting in the first ride... let alone repeat rides...help help help
As we all know the MTM medicaid provuded transport is a joke(between their errors, ppwrk
redundancy, lack of timely rides, having to schedule 3 business days in advance, limited places to
transport to etc)
3
And I have Uber health transport option thru my Medicare adv insur but their Kaizen website has
issues often too
***So I really really need to get a transport option that works &that I can schedule in less than 24
hours***
I have a caregiver but staffing shortages so it's difficult getting a ride with them if they don't show up...
hopefully that will change with the new gal I get in a couple weeks...
Thank u for your time.

Subject: Bus System
I'm 48 &disabled. Please consider ramping up bus access to &from downtown Eagle.
There is a disproportionately large group of people (young&older disabled &teens)that
would REGULARLY access a bus system if available to them.
Also please consider ADA compliant improvements to sidewalks to/from all bus access
points- such that it's more realistic for scooters & bikes to get to/from the bus pickup/drop
off& bkhm.
I'm dual insured (Medicare & Medicaid) my own car(but can't drive it myself) &qualify for
caregiver(but hardly hsve 1 due to severe shortage &they don't want to drive anywhere) I
have additional insur policy&still have very very limited true transport options- as almost
no errand (including Dr appts) can a person gain a 3+ minimum BUSINESS day notice to
use any transport system- many many many more people could be working&/or
volunteering if they had access to same day transport.
Thank u for your time.
