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.

This is an ongoing expense that 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.

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. 1 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!

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. Information about Beyond Access (Paratransit): • You can book same day up to 14 days ahead. • Rides are based on availability. • Service times are Monday - Friday, 7 am to 5:30 pm. • Booking times over the phone are Monday - Friday, 8 am to 5 pm. • Booking may be done from the app at any time. (see below for booking instructions) • The fare is free for you. 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. Information about the OnDemand (Microtransit): • The OnDemand bus is for when you need a ride now. There is no booking ahead of time. • Rides are based on availability. • Service times are Monday - Friday, 7 am to 7 pm. • Booking times over the phone are Monday - Friday, 8 am to 5 pm. • Booking may be done from the app at any time.

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.

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. (Disabled financial planner-excuse typos per brain disease.)
