NEW BUSINESS AGENDA ITEMS A. MINUTES MARCH 15, 2018 Requested by Doug Holloway, Boise Parks and Recreation Director (See Item IV. A. on the agenda)

3 RECOMMENDATION: The Department recommends that the Boise Parks and Recreation Commission review the March 15, 2018 Boise City Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes, Exhibit A, and approve the Minutes if there are no recommended changes. B. BOISE CITY CODE TITLE 13 (PARKS AND RECREATION) Requested by Karen Bledsoe, Administration Superintendent; Rob Lockward, Attorney (See Item IV. B. on the agenda) Over the past two years, City leadership, Legal, and Department team members have been working to update the structure and verbiage of Boise City Code Title 13 (entitled Parks and Recreation ). Some of the changes to Code, had already been recommended for approval and adoption, by Commission. Section (entitled Merchandising and Sign Regulations ) was recommended for approval at the October 20, 2016 Commission meeting, and the proposed changes to Section A (entitled Alcohol ) were recommended for approval at the April 20, 2017 Commission meeting. Most updates are grammatical, reference Boise City Code chapters that don t exist anymore, or don t align with current best practices of the Department and Boise City. The following highlights some of the changes that the Department is recommending for approval and adoption: Relocating Boise City Code Chapter (entitled Parks and Recreation Commission ) to Boise City Code Title 2 (entitled Commissions and Boards ), which will align with the rest of Boise City Code. Relocating Boise City Code Chapter 9-16 (entitled Boise Tree Ordinance ) from Title 9 (entitled Public Property ) to Title 13 (entitled Parks and Recreation ), as Page 2 of 2 a new Chapter (entitled Boise City Trees ). This would align with best practices because the Parks and Recreation Department is, and has been, responsible for the administration, maintenance, and best practices of Boise City trees. Updating Section (entitled Management Units ) in Boise City Code Chapter (entitled Department of Parks and Recreation ) to reflect the current terms used for each management unit. Removing dollar amounts for application and appeal fees, referenced in Boise City Code Chapter (entitled Public Parks ), and adding these fees to the Department Fees and Charges to be reviewed annually. Removing Section (entitled Traffic ) as it is now referenced in Section (entitled Parking within City Parks ) of Title 10 (entitled Traffic ). Changing the verbiage to park or City-owned open spaces to Section A (entitled Dogs ). Changing and updating Section C (entitled Dogs ) to align with the Department s best practices, by not permitting dogs in BMX/bike skills facilities or swimming ponds. Changing Section D (entitled Dogs ) to permit dogs or domestic pets, unless otherwise posted. Removing Sections E-G (entitled Dogs ) to align with the new verbiage of Section D. Finally, Boise City Code Chapters in Title 13 (entitled Parks and Recreation ) will need to be retitled as follows: Boise City Code Chapter 13-01, Department of Parks and Recreation Boise City Code Chapter 13-02, Public Parks and Recreational Facilities Page 2 of 3

4 Boise City Code Chapter 13-03, Boise City Cemeteries Boise City Code Chapter 13-04, Boise City Trees RECOMMENDATION: The Department requests that Boise Parks and Recreation Commission recommend approval and adoption of the changes outlined, to Boise City Code Title 13 (entitled Parks and Recreation ) to Boise City Council.

APPROVED P. Carter A. Johnson Unanimous E. Stidham, S. Raeber and J. Ruzicka B. Trail Easements Highland Livestock and Land Company Summary: S. Arkle explained that Ridge to Rivers (R2R) and City of Boise staff members had worked with the Little Family for decades on land agreements and easements, which allowed for public trail access on privately owned land. The submitted trail easement would grant public access for an intended flow trail. S. Arkle described a flow trail as a mountain biking trail specific for downhill travel, often with jumps and obstacles incorporated. The R2R team had proposed a flow trail above the Military Reserve area. The easement would allow two (2) design options for a flow trail, which would be decided based on funding and topographical practicality. The easement would also allow for a second flow trail to be constructed above Hulls Gulch Reserve. The proposed trail location crossed Bureau of Land Management property, as well as Highland Livestock and Land, Inc. property, which was managed by the Little Family. S. Arkle explained that the Little Family was comfortable to enter another trail easement agreement with the city. It was noted that the proposed easement would be revocable, as all previous land easements had been between the City and the Little Family. The donor interested in funding the project was comfortable with the revocable easement. K. Lovan clarified that conceptually, there were other locations where such a flow trail could be constructed, though willingness of private land owners was an obstacle. The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality and the US Army Corps of Engineers had stated the trail should not be constructed without first doing an unexploded ordnance assessment. P. Carter expressed his support for the easement, and belief that the proposed flow trails would better the mountain biking experience for Boise foothills users. D. Holloway stated that Alpine Design, a world-class trail design company, was scheduled to work with the City on the Military Reserve Bike Skills Park, and

MOTION: RESULT: MOVER: SECONDER: AYES: ABSENT: Boise Parks and Recreation Commission moved to recommend the approval of the trail easement with Highland Livestock and Land, Inc. to Boise City Council. APPROVED P. Carter J. Chen Unanimous E. Stidham, S. Raeber and J. Ruzicka V.
