Council President Nash moved the resolution, proposing two contract changes staff had negotiated and asking the council to approve the CLA subject to reinserting an evergreen clause and paying a 3% ratification bonus to officers. “This is our best effort as a council, to bring this to a conclusion,” Nash said, framing the payment as an olive branch to finalize long-running negotiations.

Councilmembers praised officers’ service and acknowledged a difficult negotiation process. Multiple members said they supported back pay for officers and noted that the agreement is a budget driver the council and administration had been working to resolve. One councilmember said the negotiated package equated to roughly a 12% increase over four years and noted the preference to deliver back pay promptly.

The resolution (listed as resolution 2825 in meeting discussion) was adopted by roll call. The council recorded a unanimous vote in favor during the session; the measure will take effect consistent with the contract’s terms and the city’s payroll processing schedule.

City staff said the 3% ratification bonus would be payable as a one-time payment upon ratification and would be processed on the payroll cycle following the agreement’s ratification. The city also noted that the FY 2026 budget under consideration had already assumed ongoing salary increases consistent with the contract’s provisions, ensuring staffing and pay changes were reflected in the financial plan even if ratification occurred after the budget action.

Councilmembers and city staff repeatedly described appreciation for police officers and cited recruitment and retention gains as motives for the agreement. Several members said the negotiation process had taken longer than desirable and urged improved timelines and mediation readiness for future contract cycles.

Chief of Police Tim Dennison told council the changes reflect state law and remove the prior requirement that officers confirm shelter availability before taking enforcement action. “With the passing of SB 1141 … it will prohibit cities with populations greater than 100,000 or more from authorizing, permitting, or enabling public camping or sleeping on public property,” Dennison said, adding the city has already drafted ordinance and departmental policy language to align with the statute.

The ordinance adopted by the council (ORD 24-25) revises several code chapters to add a public-camping prohibition on roadways, rights-of-way, parks and certain other public property; it sets the penalty as an infraction with a $10 fine if the council’s effective date is approved. The council also amended related disorderly conduct, parks, and parking sections to reflect the new enforcement approach.

Dennison summarized Boise Police Department (BPD) practice over the last three years, saying BPD issued 74 citations related to public camping and had not made physical arrests on those matters; enforcement historically considered available shelter capacity. He said the state law “will remove some level of discretion from officers. We will have to take some form of action when we become aware of public camping … whether it’s in a vehicle, a shelter, or for that prolonged period of time.” He added officers will still be directed to provide education and to connect people with resources and that, “for certain issues, it will be appropriate. Officers will issue citations.”

Council members stressed the city must continue housing-first, wraparound services alongside enforcement. Councilmember Willits said she appreciated efforts to avoid creating a heavy financial burden on people experiencing homelessness: “Whether it’s $10 or $100, it’s a further burden for somebody who maybe doesn't have that to spend,” she said. Several council members thanked BPD and outreach partners for increased engagement and asked staff to track outcomes and costs, including officer overtime.

Dennison told the council BPD has invested about $227,000 in overtime in targeted enforcement and outreach in the shoreline area and said the department has received positive feedback from businesses and residents in that area. He said officers may exercise discretion when the issue is abated at the time of contact, but that habitual offenders could be cited and that judges could subsequently consider mitigation or waive fines. “If it is somebody who may need to engage in mental health treatment or drug rehab, does a citation have to be issued? … I think officers may exercise a level of discretion as long as the issue is abated in that moment,” he said.

Council members also discussed ordinance naming conventions; Dennison and others explained staff referenced the bill’s sponsor in internal nomenclature for clarity, not to create a permanent legislative naming convention. The council approved the ordinance at third reading after deliberation; a roll-call vote showed the measure carried.

The council and police said outreach materials and resource maps will be prepared for distribution, and that the city will continue to pursue housing and supportive services as primary solutions to homelessness. The ordinance and related departmental policy changes take effect in coordination with the state law’s July 1 effective date.
