Valley Regional Transit can get me most places I need to go without a car, but there not being a route down Chinden really throws a wrench in my plans to take my cat to her eye appointment tomorrow.

Trying to get around without Boise without a car is always an adventure.
(I own a car, but it won’t be drivable until the first week of March due to a long wait at the body shop for a repair)
I can get within a mile of the clinic using the Fairview/Ustick route, but I don’t know how good the sidewalks are in the area. Plus……Mashuka is still A Big Cat™️. Putting her in my backpack to walk it probably wouldn’t be great.
Lyft it is! Let’s hope her crying doesn’t deter a driver from accepting my ride request 😬

After three lengthy public hearings, Boise Planning & Zoning will be deliberating on whether or not to grant Interfaith Sanctuary a conditional use permit to move to State Street.

I will be tweeting, but it can be difficult to keep up with complex deliberations so bear with me!
Keep in mind though, this is not the end of this fight. We still have a long way to go.

No matter what happens tonight, it will most certainly be appealed to #CityCouncilTuesday for more hearings and another decision. From there, I'm wagering it ends up in court.
Commissioner Schaeffer is recusing himself and will not be voting.

I'm not sure why....If anybody knows feel free to chime in!

Okay Boise, listen up!

It's time for the third hearing for the Interfaith Sanctuary proposal to move to State Street and this time I expect a vote. Let's see what happens!
After some smaller matters, the hearing is starting up.
We're starting off with testimony about safety and how moving the shelter would impact the police department and residents of State Street.

*drum roll please*

Starting in just a few minutes, Boise's Planning & Zoning Commission will start taking testimony on Interfaith Sanctuary's proposal to relocate to State Street.

As many as over 200 people are expected to testify so it will be a long night. Follow along!
I will be keeping tabs on highlights here, as well as how many people from each side testify.
We haven't had testimony yet, we're just doing final questions from commissioners.

Commissioner Chris Danley is asking if Interfaith Sanctuary has provided a contingency plan to address guests who were asked to leave the shelter and a security plan for the facility.

Hey everyone! Today I am listening in to Ada County Highway's weekly meeting.

The item I am watching here is a three-year employment contract for Director Bruce Wong. It gives him a salary increase and severance payments when the makeup of the commission is likely to change.
The item has been adopted, including the item with the employment contract.
No public comment will be taken because it's a personnel matter.

Good evening everybody! It's time for #CityCouncilTuesday as the pandemic rages outside.

Follow along!
In the work session, we heard an update on some changes at the Boise Police Department and a survey for the public to weigh in. I will have a story on that for tomorrow's newsletter.

Here's the survey link in English and Spanish: cityofboise.org/police-data-da…
We also heard another update on the increasingly dire COVID-19 situation here in Ada County.

We're up! McLean is here with several heads of hospital systems to hear about COVID-19.
