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.

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)

*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.

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.

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.
