The Boise City Council on Oct. 28 approved consent agenda items that include contracting steps for the Whitney Pool replacement project, moving the design and construction‑management procurements forward.

Councilmembers did not debate the individual consent items at length during the meeting; the transcript records staff and council remarks that the approvals cover contracts for architectural, engineering and construction manager/general contractor (CM/GC) services for Whitney Pool. One councilmember said the measures take important steps so the city can proceed once funding approvals are finalized.

The items were approved as part of the consent agenda; a council roll call on the consent motion recorded assent and the mayor declared the motion carried.

Speakers at the meeting noted the Whitney Pool contracts alongside other Parks and Recreation matters discussed that day, and several councilmembers described the pool as a high priority that the council seeks to advance to construction following prior approvals of project funding.

No contract values, vendor names or procurement details were read into the minutes during the public meeting record beyond staff references to the two contract types (architectural/engineering/construction and CM/GC services). Councilmembers said they expect additional project-level reporting to follow as the design and contracting work proceeds.
