City Council - workshop

Yeah, and more. Yeah, and more. Yeah, and more. Yeah, and more. Yeah, and more. You can include all those tips in the record. Okay, great. Great.

Thanks to the Mayor and Council, Jason Blass, the Minister of Environment, and Yojana Vikas Sevaing. And we also have Fire Marshal Mike Pisanu here who will help answer any of your questions. But yes, we have come here to talk about a trade policy on which we are working with single-stair and multi-family voices. So, if we talk about Prisht Bhoomi, it is associated with the last election. Mike and I and Kathy were also involved in drafting the draft bill. And in the end, House Bill 706 was passed, which is revised in the Idaho Building Code Act, so that the building code can be allowed to have single-story buildings. This is not mandatory. This is an option for the jurisdiction. That's why this is an option. That's why we have developed a policy on how we will choose it. It allows for a single exit up to six floors in buildings. Currently, the building code only allows for three floors, but there are some special regulations that reduce the number of floors. It is reduced to 6,000 sq. ft. It makes the fire sprinkler system better. A complete list of regulations has been added to allow this concept. Yes, this is even earlier, when in 2025, Rajya Bhumi Upayog and Awaaz Adhyan Samiti had recommended it and I had taken part in that committee. Therefore, there was a lot of debate on this side and the other side. Yes, there was a lot of debate on this. So the advantage of this is that it offers another type of sound production. This is one of those low-income medium-sized sounds. This is a small multi-storey house. Its construction costs are low because you are not making other stairs. To connect the stairs, you do not have to make long corridors. This house is very good for the population groups. This is also good for the layout of the rooms because you can take four rooms on each floor on these things. So you can take the next layout so that you can get cross ventilation, natural light and there are small ways to get out of the stairs. But there are also some things in terms of safety, such as fire safety. We are mainly doubling the heights and destinations for people living in units and according to the normal rules, there will be only one failure. So this is definitely a matter of concern. When you are on top, one of the obstacles is reduced. The weight is reduced. Many times people are unable to climb the stairs when they come out. They have to sit on the landing and wait for the rescue. When the fire department is responding from the same ladder, people come out. and then it depends on your imagination, right? Because you have to go out, and when you go out, the number of stairs decreases. You really have to depend on the sprinkler system, fire alarm system, and any kind of ventilation system. So you just have to make them properly. So our proposal is that the state law be adopted for the construction of four levels. And this is an example of a 4-storey design. Lastly, with the development of code, we know that code, fire code and building code are changing in the future. A new change is going to happen so that such a building can be made up to 3 to 4 storeys. So we know that this is going to happen. So this is a matter of the future. For buildings higher than 4 storeys, We are thinking of an extra security solution where we are making a list of things that increase the security of five and six floors of buildings. And that's why the designer can choose one of these options. So the first is pressurized interior exit CD. This means that there is a fan in the fire alarm system. So when it rings, it pumps clean air into your stairs. It keeps it in positive pressure. It keeps the smoke out of the stairs to get out. And when the fire department responds and comes, it gives them good clean air. This is very common. We see it in many such areas where there are single exit stairs on the 5th and 6th floor. This is probably the most common way. There is an option. The second option is the design of the outer stairs. You can go up to six levels from the outer stairs and get open air to get out of it. Both of these methods help to reduce smoke. This is very good because in the event of a fire, people suffer from more damage than the flames of the fire. It is very good to reduce the smoke and both of these options do the same. The third is the balcony above the second floor. And there should be the facility of the dumper department. In Europe, it is often seen as a single exit building. And this helps the dumper department to get people out of the balcony by using a ladder truck or lift. Fourth. This is less seen, but it can be used as a ladder to avoid fire in buildings. And you can make an existing building again where we can use the ladder to avoid fire from the back. These are not the old stairs that you used to see earlier. These are not like the stairs, but this is an idea. And then we will think in any idea or the same way. We see many different things. We always see something new, material or in terms of construction. That's why we can think of other ideas. But I want to show you something visual. On the right side, there is a pressurized ladder. And it shows you that if there is a fire, then you have a corridor. And then there is a ladder. This is a two-hour shaft. But when the sprinkler is switched off, the fire alarm rings, then it pumps fresh air into the ladder shaft. It gives you a good positive pressure. And when the fire department comes, it creates a safe environment to come out and save. And then the second is the appearance of the outer staircase. You have right and left stairs and then the design of the left and outer staircase. And it shows where you have the open air. You know that the design will not be damaged. That's why this is a safe staircase. And then there is a balcony design on the left and on the right. This is the left-hand side. All the entrances are on the right side of the balcony. And then there is a good way to escape from fire right in front of it. So that if the stairs get damaged, you can reach the balconies if necessary. And if there are entrances on the back side, then the same will happen on the back side. There will be a way to escape from fire towards the parking space. And then there is a way to escape from fire on the right side, where we can use it as an alternative on an existing building. That's why I think we have a good policy to present a different kind of voice in Bhuisya. We will allow it up to four levels according to the state constitution, and then on five or six levels, I think we have a menu of some other security-related thoughts and options that we can choose and then we can accept them. So take a stand for any question along with this, and the mic is also present from the fire department.

Madam Mayor Om Jasson, thank you very much for this information. I really appreciate Om. Om, I don't know how open the city is to know this, how we can include it in our development code. Om, I really like the menu chain. I think it gives designers and developers a lot of flexibility. I have two questions. One, Om, have we received any response from the development community on those ideas?

We haven't kept it there yet, Mahapal and Parishad. We haven't kept it there yet. It is in the form of a property.

Okay, great. And I am waiting for that response. And I am surprised, maybe you don't know the answer, but I have heard one story that it is almost impossible to develop a small lot MX5 property under our current rules. And I am surprised that with this small footprint, you know, can this be the solution to that obstacle? But I think that when we are ready for feedback, then I will keep it in front of the development community. This is one such thing about which I would like to know if it will open the way to develop even those small MX5 properties.

Mayor and Council Member, yes, I have to talk to Josh Wilson about zoning.

Thank you. Madam Mayor, thank you very much for the excellent presentation and presentation. I believe that it is good to look at different types of housing for us. We will get help to complete the lack of missing middle, and it seems that this will be a good solution. I have a few questions about the development of the balcony. Is there a need for a new type of balcony?

Mayor, council member, there is nothing like this in politics. We say that there shouldn't be a Juliet balcony. We don't just want a balcony. We want a balcony outside the door so that they can wait and be saved.

Madam, Mayor Jason, one more question on this. Can they keep a private balcony, two units or a floor balcony?

Mayor, Council Member, I think we can think about it. The key thing is that there should be an outside space where they can go away from the units and then the fire department can work from their side to reach there.

And as the head of the council said, I agree with the fact that it is being thought about in a way that helps us see what happens. Madam Mayor, from the perspective of security, this question can be asked, especially when we go to five and six destinations in a row.

So we have different types of policy makers with us. My question is related to fire, and perhaps this question is related to fire. If we know that this is as much or more safe than two different stairs. Like, are we getting the same security as before, or is there a lack of security for the new house? Is this understood, or have we reached the level where we feel that we have reduced our worries?

Madam Mayor, Council Member Halberton.

I can tell you that there are still many organizations associated with fire that are against this type of writing, as far as removing an extra ladder is concerned. However, there are big companies and their powerful departments that are actually working together with the wind turbine community so that it can be ensured that they are effective and they have made it to the extent that we can work around these things. Our wish is to tell people that if you let the fire department design your city, then this will be a grid in which there will be a way to go and come from all sides of the building. And the roads will be quite wide and there will be no parking anywhere. So I like this. As Jason said earlier, this is mutual. Both sides have mutual feelings. But we have faith in our research and the departments and municipalities that we have contacted, We believe that this is a behavioural building proposal. And then as far as Madam Mayor is concerned, as far as those proposals are concerned, what people can do to avoid fire, it is easy to see a way. Because like you, we have been making ways to avoid fire for a very long time. This is an easy policy. Is there anyone who you think is more preferred in comparison to others and when they protest against this kind of fire, it is better for the fire department? I can think about the balcony, but we have to climb the stairs there, right? No person can get down until he makes a rope out of his sheet. But is there a safe way according to the list we have made? Madam Mayor, Council Member Hiberton, if you ask most of the firefighters, they will request a pressurized city.

However, these are other options, which we also practice.

We are all very skilled in saving people from our aerial obstacles and balconies, and we will need necessary access to do so, so that it is a safe option. You can close one of the balcony doors. You watch such videos on TV where people are hanging out of windows and smoke is coming out of their heads. This puts the fire in different parts and until we reach there, they get a safe place. If we depend only on the ladder to get us out, then the most pressure is on the ladder. All of them need all kinds of care because they are also worried about their safety. I think that the proposals we have given can be correct according to any company or any building design. I think that whatever the proposal is, it will work. As Jason said, we have also looked at the European foundations, which was part of the Pew study, in which it was suggested that we should walk on this path as a nation. So yes, we have full confidence that all these are practical proposals and the fire department can work through any of them. Thank you for your clarity and clarity.

This is Rani and thank you for your work.

Madam Mayor, I will only do a few tips and if I am wrong on any of them, I will correct myself. But I am really excited about this work. This is a voice that can open the way for many types of voices that are in harmony. That's why I think of living in a multi-family apartment complex building, where there is a corridor in the middle and there are windows on one side of my house. This creates a kind of house, which has windows on many sides and there is always natural light in the day. I think you mentioned up to 4 units, but it can be 2 units, 3 units on each floor, which means even bigger units. That's why when we think about developing as a city, and living as a family, and building a decent house, then it's very difficult to build a 3-bedroom apartment, because it's very difficult to build a house, because of the need for streets. That's why this facility can be given in a single-storied house in a better way. I support the legislation to provide this facility. We often complain about orders and restrictions without funds here, but this was an example of something They were visiting other cities and they gave us a chance to see it with their department and other specialists. And I really liked it. And I think that Vidhan Mandal has done a good job of providing some basic security, which is really important and one of them is the gold standard of the fire sprinkler. And that's why when I think that I can stay at home for three months and in reality, I can stay at home for five months, I can stay less safe than that with the gold standard sprinkler. And that's why it's really very exciting, but it also gave us this opportunity There's a lot of talk about the need for pressurized CDs, but as you can see, there are other options. You know, different properties look different, and that's why I'm recommending Lachile Darshti Kaurna. And to know this, I'm really excited to see what the community says. I will respond to the community because it is a new product. I hope this will open the way for new incremental developers. We need different types of developers. And our neighboring states have already given it a constitutional form. Seattle has been doing this for a long time, so it will be interesting to take a stand on it from our neighbors. But thank you all very much. It was very good. And Mahapour and Parishad, I got a phone call from a developer, in which he said that he wants to do this. And I said, I want a phone call in a month.

The pictures you showed, were they AI pictures or real pictures or real pictures?

Many of them were from architectural rendering.

I really liked seeing them. Ever since my daughter was born, she has never been to any other place other than a single-seater building. And... Work. And when the council member, the modelist, brought this to me for the first time, I was surprised that you can't do this here. And while accepting this, he is worried about security. I have also seen in real time that those old buildings or single-storied buildings, but there is a lot of good light than before. There is more space and there is a way to escape from the fire, which is the way of the balcony, which he likes to use as a balcony. So that we can have another option, it is very good, but I have always thought of it in terms of old and old-fashioned buildings. So today it was really interesting to see that what architects are doing modernly with single-storied buildings these days. Thank you both. Thank you.

And now we have the update of the pickleball scheme. Roseanne is here with us and I think Sara and Earl are also here. She will talk about our scheme and that process through which we will pass and update our planned scheme for pickleball. I think this is really a positive conversation that he is working hard to provide more courts for park and river workers. And I am waiting for your response today. And then in the coming weeks, we will also hear about the process with Aayu. Namaste, I am Rojan Brown. I am the Head of Entertainment for Park and Rake. Thank you. And I am here with Nileshik Aral to talk about Pickleball. I know that you are very excited. I am excited. So, let's just start with what we have. We have inventory. With our current park system, what is our inventory? We provide 89-racket court in our 30 parks. And we are dedicated to Thirupin Tennis Court. They are for use for 22 years, so get your own net for pickleball and 14 pickleballs are dedicated to the court. Now with Willow Lane and the affected Manitoba Park, due to our case, they have lost 12 dedicated courts. So we asked the tennis community to convert them back and get a court. This has made our full court dedicated for 16% pickleball in Boise. And we have received a lot of reactions from the community. Very enthusiastic people are thinking that we should make some more pickle ball court because this game is touching the sky and it is very important. So here is a map that we have to show you as a dedicated tennis court and it is in deep blue color. And then the dedicated pickle ball court is in yellow. So we have the Hobble Creek complex. Its number is 12. It is very popular. And then we have two courts in Eagle Rock. Then this is only dedicated. Again, share use is a different model. And this is only the place where there are black dots. We have some co-workers with whom we work. The Boyce School District has given permission. We did this a few years ago. They gave permission to use the ballast coat. When these courts are being used in Durbagya, they do not have bathroom facilities, and therefore these pickle balls are not ideal for users. We work with the U.S. Tennis Association and do tennis court direction. We work with Boise State, Julia Davis Park and other local organizations for financial support. I have met two primary pickleball organizations. One which is only about buoys and the other which includes some waste atoms. And they all say the same thing. They want more pickleball coats and they want more dedicated pickleball coats. We thought that this was a kind of thought. We were going to use the share, to kill two birds with one arrow. Everyone was going to be happy. It's not like that at all. I feel that there is some debate between the two communities and we have definitely received this message that the people who want pickleball are the ones who are dedicated. We work with pickleball clubs, but at this time there is no agreement, there is no agreement. We want to move forward in that kind of situation because we have agreements with other stakeholders, but at this time we have an arrangement as a plan.

Nothing is written.

With the help of the case, we actually gave a lot of reactions to Pickleball. And Nidesh Akal decided that we have to develop some kind of plan because it was a necessary decision and we had to see how we do it properly. So we came up with this 5-year pickleball code and presented it in front of Aayog so that he could know if we were going in the right direction. And what we did was that we wanted to make a pathway so that pickleball players know that we care about them. We are listening to them and trying to find a solution for them. We are thinking based on reducing the impact on people and neighbors because the biggest problem is noise, isn't it?

People don't like the noise of pickleball.

And we all want to include it. Player users, park users, neighbors etc. That's why we surveyed for a month in December and we got about 2000 responses, of which about 80% said in support of the new pickleball code. And I think it is very important to use the word dedicated to me because it is very different from the use of the word. 80% of those respondents go to play in groups for a few hours. The other 20% are big groups and I have heard from them that they usually go to play for 5 or 6 hours and their number is 60. According to our policy, we went to Qom with the Master Plan candidates. Next month, we will go to the Aayu and ask him what he wants to do to advance one of our proposals. And then we will think about that recommendation and come back to you and make a decision on any formality of the court. So our proposal is this. We have an airport which we We can change it into a pickleball court dedicated to Para, which will be like our Hobble Creek, which is very popular. Let's win the tournament. We really have to send people back for the tournament because we need to protect their open game. And that's why Ummah will be ready to make another plan. Optimist Youth Sports Complex is going to convert its tennis court into a pickleball court. So there will be two. Molinar will have two pickleball courts. And Alta Harris will have 12 in long-term funding. So if we convert all of these courts, we can take our current inventory up to 14 to 46. which will be very big. Because when we look at the percentage, we are at 8020, 80% dedicated tennis court, 20% dedicated pickleball court. This does not include all the applications, it is only dedicated. And then if we make this change, then we will be at 80% and 51%, which will clearly be more justice for the community. Did I speak too fast? I know I have 20 minutes, but God, if you want, I can go back. Madam Mayor, are you ready? Thank you very much. When one of these proposals came up, I was in the park and ward, and I believe that it was not about joining, nor about changing. That's why I want to make sure that when you talk about Umm Moulinar and Hawaii, I think it will be completely new. Are you talking about changing the current tennis court to a pickleball court? You're not talking about making a new pickleball court?

Madam Mayor, Council Member Willis.

Oh, so this will be a reform. Now it's a tennis court. Oh, but other plans are completely new courts. So it will be a reform. And how much does it cost to change it? Mayor, Council Member, Villages, I am Nadesha Karla. You should be here for some of these questions.

She is present for you.

Madam Mayor, Council Member, thank you. This is an initiative of Parimaan. We are talking about Rs. 120,000. It depends on how much you make compared to Rs. 1.2 million. That is why a lot of side work is needed to make a new court. The construction process is needed. The picker ball complex with 12 courts has cost about Rs. 1.2 million and it will cost about Rs. 125,000 to Rs. 150,000 to change it. Oh, Madam Mayor, can you tell us about this? Looking at the change in the way of life, why isn't there much talk about changing the tennis court to a pickleball court? I mean, I think the community will obviously need a pickleball court, but this is a very big amount to make new or change. What is the reason? Madam Mayor, Council Member Willards, this is a good question. I think the simplest answer to this is that we have made a pickleball code scheme in the current master plan, which has not been developed yet. And that's why this time is absolutely right. For example, there is a plan to improve the court in Molinar. Whether it is a tennis court or a pickleball court, under this five-year master management plan, the community will have to discuss it. We should discuss it. Should it be a tennis court? Should it be a pickleball court? And this is the same thing with Alta Harris. Do you know if there is an impact or not? In Malta Harris, there is a chance of an impact where pickleball courts have already been planned. We are at a compromise. For example, with the people of Oyuva Khel, in Ahi, to make a pickleball court, some of them have been planned. Funding ka anumaan hai ki hum jaantay ki humare paas kamee hai aur jahaan humare paas hai, jaise ki aap jaantay hain, Rosen ki team ne humare mujhuda bandargaon ko dekhne aur yeh pata lagane ki. Koshish mein waasta mein achcha kaam kiya hai ki usniyay sangat pahunj ko pura karne ke liye kahaan rupantaran sambhu ho sakta hai aur yehi wo jaga hai jahaan hum rupantaran ki talaash kar rahe hain. Aur mayor ek aur hum, toh aisa lagta hai ki Molinar ne pehle hi ek tennis court ki yojana banayi. Kya mai tab samajh payo? Aur yeh pariwartit hoga.

Just a second, was it a tennis court or was it just a court, TBT tennis or pickleball?

Madam Mayor, you are right. I think the tennis court is written in the master plan. Some of them are so old that you cannot read them. But in such situations where we have a grey area where this tennis court can be called, you cannot read it, we will go through a process and include the public to collect the process. Thank you, Madam Mayor. My question is that the fees that are already included in the master plan, will they be distributed through normal policy or influence? Only one institute, Madam. Mayor Council. Member Wells, only one matter where we will not fund them with impact fees, that will happen when it will be a proposal of compensation, when it will be a proposal of compensation. Okay. So, all. New court impact fees or those who are eligible for donation. Right. I like how you got involved there. So, in other words, all these Jindabhuj Quotes are already there. They are included in our impact fees. You are not going to come to us with a normal fund for funding. So, Madam Mayor, Council Member, Village, sorry for the lack of relationship. In our budget of 2027, we had left a space to think about the implementation of the Aahi Court. And this will be a big repair and restoration project because it is an existing property. So if it is a new property, then we will be looking at the impact fees or donation to support that work. And the implementation will be like 120 to 150 grand.

Thank you.

It depends on the number of courts. But yes. And before any further questions, I just want to say that the aim of this scheme is to ensure that people who play pickleball reach the courts. For me, for us, and for many of you, it is important that we understand the love for this game. It is not new now, but it is a relatively new game. And we need to find out how we can make court opportunities for the residents. That is why we are thinking of new ways where we can use influence. And along with that, we need to follow the existing rules, not going too far from the community. You must have said this before. I just want to say one thing on this. The aim of this scheme is to provide equal access to everyone so that those who want to play can get more opportunities to play near their homes. But one thing I wanted to discuss further is that you mentioned donation. And in this city, I would like to refer to people who come and say, you know, we need donations, we would like to do something together with you, whether it is a river park, an open space, or a trail park. I think there might be some bocce court as well. And then I would go to ask about tennis. You mentioned the tennis contract, but can you tell us something about our relationship with the tennis group? And then if I remember correctly, you told me that some of these courts have been running for a long time, are coming, are dedicated to relationships that started with donations. Thank you for asking this, Madam Mayor. They have been a great relationship with the USA for a very long time and they are really in our full support of changing these courts into pickleball. Because we have relocated them and have dedicated them to Manatees. So now that they have this, they don't have any problem with the air. They should never be shaped. And that is the only organization that we will use for that particular site. It will be the USA. And why will you do Saja with Parishad and remind me and the public that why do we care about the USA? Rajoon ji? And I don't want the tennis community to think that I don't care. I just wanted you to answer the question of why we care.

And that's why this is a short-term initiative, which is far more than the current feeling of the court. Rather, it is an investment in programs and resources so that we can maintain the control of the court.

Madam Mayor, absolutely, absolutely. And the way they have made our tennis court, they have also provided us with money to help us make it. A very good, wonderful initiative. Madam Mayor, thank you very much for your time. And you too, Sara. I think I can get a majority. The council member is more or less in charge of pickleball, but I was just looking at the back. I think I meet with all the districts. I mean, to clarify. I think I have 20. This month, there have been conversations about pickleball. I think I get an email about pickleball instead of every email I get from the library. But this is a great community. They are very violent and I am most impressed by the fact that they are also strict in the matter of tennis. Because if we had removed the 44 tennis courts and made them pickleball courts, I would have received as many emails from the tennis community. That is why I am impressed by your proposal. Apart from this, as I and the council member more or less talked about, you cannot make pickleball courts in every park. They will also have to be told about the place in particular because we have learned from Shorsharabi and so we will have to think a little more and work. And I think there will be such states in the future where new tennis courts can be built and it can be a little easier to complete that request than making a pickleball court. That's why you have to think more about it and work on it. The location of the pickleball court, I know it must have taken a lot of hard work. You know, to make these things. And it's not surprising that I get to hear from a lot of people because looking at that map, all the great locations are in the west part of the city, in the east part of the city. So I mean, and I also think that it is very valuable to socialize them so that tournaments and big festivals and social groups can meet together, not just a stand-off court, especially if they want this. For a purpose. Excuse me, friends, I am going to interrupt you all. I have to check the time now. Oh, I am sending it to the board and then we will take a response from the public. I can see more people who want to talk. We have a working schedule. You were in such a hurry that I lost my focus. I thought we had time till 5 o'clock. So I was not able to manage it properly.

Madam.

And council member Morales later. No, I am joking. Please, if you have any response, tip or anything that you want to tell the park staff, before they move forward for a systematic response or for the seat of the park board, next week, 16th of September. Please inform the staff in advance. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Along with this, according to the IDAHO Code Section No. 84206 DNJ, I request you to enter the working field so that you can be considered a resident of a private property owned by a private agency. Yes. Do we have a request? Here's the button. More or less, yes. No. We'll be back at 6 o'clock.
