On third reading the council approved ORD-13-25, a rezoning for property at 90908 Whitewater Park Boulevard from R-2 (residential compact) to R-3 (residential urban), and ORD-14-25, annexing roughly 3.1 acres in Ada County and designating the annexed land I-1 (light industrial) with accompanying sensitive lands overlay and recording directions. Council members voted to dispense with further reading and then approved both ordinances; the record shows the motions carried with all members voting in favor.

On the consent agenda the council approved Resolution 20325, an agreement with the Ada County Highway District (ACHD) to close a sidewalk gap at West Firecrest as part of the Goddard Linear Park project. The council briefed the improvement as an opportunity to close an existing sidewalk gap and improve the neighborhood.

Councilmembers also gave unanimous consent to appoint Finnegan Kressler Radloff, a Boise State student and aspiring pilot, as a student commissioner to the Boise Airport Commission for a term ending March 2026. Council members praised the value of having student perspectives on commissions and noted the appointee’s aviation-related internships and interest.

Earlier in the meeting staff read by number and title only ORD-15-205 (CAR 24-14) involving a proposed zoning amendment for property at 10100 West Overland Road; that ordinance was filed for second reading and will return to the council for a subsequent hearing.

No votes failed; where roll-call answers were recorded the clerk read members’ responses and the mayor declared the motions carried.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Boise City Council - Noon Session","oneSentenceSummary","The City Council approved two ordinances on third reading, agreed to a sidewalk gap contract linked to the Goddard Linear Park project, and appointed a Boise State student as a student commissioner to the airport commission; staff also filed a first-reading zoning ordinance for a property on West Overland Road.","taxTitle","Boise City, Boise, Ada County, Idaho","taxId",8706,"location","Idaho","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6581646,"Boise staff outline citywide programming, $30,000 in city grants reserved for America 250 events",611,376000,987000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3083299-93780876544d1aacaba7bf98265f99b1&start=376&end=987","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3083299-93780876544d1aacaba7bf98265f99b1/thumbnail_376000.jpg","/articles/6581646/Idaho/Boise-staff-outline-citywide-programming-30000-in-city-grants-reserved-for-America-250-events","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6581646-2b9f80e6298809c5dc5179020e3c3265/orig.mp4?Expires=1776064742&Signature=i2B51U-t78lTKOEfh1HH1bV0aU7jRY4QNX81NX6zPrG5O-9pABoVdbQI2tZbLFwOqcLtPXd-a6WVdCAF1rXRxm3eRU6ofxgVBgPDQ5vS1vM7D6KP5HP7d5u3sGWI5EAJwjQQo3AX7oaR9x2CSYXkRWaDgx9xIySwzbjuGDhYyRN8fnCuVw5KuAFftXsDZXDt43IpGohL-th5rlcL-FMp~EelHHaVcdXNb4AqPyimEbeHE6TN75Bq4PF58cvOAMCabMl~SedU3~T6Yjg0tA8zGjkWNikqIc1apxhFGz5R-sEZT5qZe-GAM5tanQp3idbJ-oNGj-yuPvzFQXmW9DPKOA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jennifer Stevens, a staff member in Boise’s Arts and History Department, told the City Council that Boise will begin planning in May for the nation’s semiquincentennial — the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence — with a main celebratory period from January through July 2026. Stevens said the city’s programming will follow five federal themes selected for the national commemoration: Power of Place, We the People, Unfinished Revolutions, Doing History and The American Experiment.

City staff plan work groups on activities, reading and art programs, tours and exhibitions, civic engagement and grants and sponsorships. “The key celebratory time for July 4, 2026, will start on Thursday, July 2, and run through the end of the day on July 4,” Stevens said. She said the city will run a separate grant round for America 250 projects and has reserved $30,000 from the Arts and History Department’s annual grant funds for that program.

Stevens said the city has applied to the National Endowment for the Arts for an additional $30,000; if that application is successful the department would offer up to $60,000 total to community groups for programming tied to the America 250 themes. She also outlined planned partners and venues, including the James Castle House, the Irma Haman House, libraries and local arts and civic organizations, and said the City Steps program will offer new tours beginning this fall in advance of the 2026 celebration.

Council members praised recent city events and encouraged engagement across ages and communities. Councilwoman Willets said the depot celebration earlier this year showed the city’s event capacity and added, “I love the logo.” Another councilmember praised the plan’s emphasis on youth and veterans and highlighted citizenship ceremonies as strong engagement opportunities for new Americans.

Stevens said staff intend to involve many city departments through a steering committee and several staff work groups; preliminary outreach includes Boise School District, West Ada School District, Boise State University and the College of Idaho. The presentation also noted the city’s airport centennial in 2026 will run in parallel with some America 250 programming.

Stevens closed by asking council members for questions; none were substantive beyond the comments recorded, and staff will return with further details as planning progresses.","Arts & History staff told the Boise City Council they are launching planning now for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, reserving $30,000 in city grants and seeking a matching $30,000 from the National Endowment for the Arts for community programming running through mid-2026.","actionData","errors"]
