The council also deferred action on two comprehensive-plan items to a date set by staff no later than 45 days from the meeting.

Key outcomes (selected):

- Approval of minutes for the April 29, 2025 meeting — motion carried.

- Appointments: Cameron LaFrenz was reappointed to the Arts and History Commission student seat for a one-year term ending 06/30/2026; Josh Hurwit was appointed to the Boise City Ethics Commission for a four-year term ending February 2029. Both appointments were agreed to by unanimous consent.

- Consent agenda: Council removed RES216-25 from the consent agenda for separate consideration; the remainder of the consent agenda was approved 5-1. One councilmember recorded opposition, citing approval of travel that had already occurred.

- Ordinances: The council read multiple ordinances by number and title and took actions to dispense with further reading and approve certain third-reading ordinances. Notable ordinance actions recorded in the transcript include ORD 15-25 (zoning changes for various properties) and ORD 15-205 (rezoning for property at 10100 West Overland Road). Motions to approve the listed ordinances carried.

- Subdivisions: The council approved multiple preliminary and final plats, largely by unanimous votes. Items approved included:
- SUV 24-17 (Girard Subdivision) — preliminary plat for four buildable lots at 2939 West Hill Road in an R-1C zone.
- SUB 24-53 (Raver Johnson Subdivision) — preliminary/final plat for five industrial lots at 11230 West Joplin Road in an I-1 zone.
- SUV 25-9 (Monoplay Subdivision) — preliminary/final plat for four buildable lots at 4722 West Holmes Street in an R-1C zone.

- SUB 205-1 (Harris Ranch Lot SE-10 Subdivision) — preliminary plat for 18 buildable lots and one common lot at 4433 East Haystack Street in the Harris Ranch specific plan zone.

- Deferral: The council voted to defer CPA 22-3 and CR 22-48 to a date set by staff, not later than 45 days from the meeting; motion carried.

The meeting concluded with the council adjourning.

Councilmembers said the action was intended to align the city’s longstanding practice with state law following passage of House Bill 96.

The council’s vote formalizes a proclamation the mayor said she had already issued, which she described as retroactive and intended to ensure the city complied with HB 96 while preserving the city’s message of inclusion. \"I signed an official proclamation that retroactively established three flags as official Boise flags,\" the mayor said during the meeting, adding that the action was meant to keep the city’s longstanding practice intact while meeting legal requirements.

Supporters framed the resolution as an affirmation of Boise’s values. A council sponsor said the measure was not intended to replace the city flag, but to ensure the city's practices complied with state law. Several councilmembers described personal reasons they supported the measure, including wanting to signal safety and belonging to LGBTQ residents and to prospective employers considering Boise.

Opponents said the council was compelled to make the change by state law and raised concerns about the potential financial and legal consequences of formalizing the flags. One councilmember said she planned to vote no, describing constituent opposition and saying the city should uphold the traditional city flag only. That member voted against the resolution; five councilmembers voted in favor.

The mayor told the council the proclamation and the subsequent resolution were intended to bring the city into compliance with HB 96 and to “change the system because we must,” so the city could continue flying the flags that leaders said reflect the city’s values. The mayor also told the meeting the action was already taken and the resolution simply acknowledged and supported that proclamation.

The council’s formal roll call recorded five votes in favor and one opposed; the motion carried. Following the vote the meeting recessed for five minutes.

Why it matters: supporters said the flags serve as a visible message of inclusion for residents and potential new businesses and employees; opponents said the resolution accepts a legal change they oppose and could expose the city to legal or financial consequences. The transcript records extended, at times emotional, remarks from multiple councilmembers on how the flags affect residents’ sense of safety and belonging.","The Boise City Council voted 5-1 to recognize three official city flags — the city flag, a pride (rainbow) flag and a Donate Life flag — a step city leaders said aligns the city's practice with state law after the passage of House Bill 96 and follows a mayoral proclamation made before the vote.","actionData","errors"]
