“Yes. Drew, thanks so much for the presentation and the study. One question is on your enrollment, and I don't know if you can flip back to that slide. So it looked like the past two years on-campus enrollment increased a little over 1,000 students, and then we're projecting it looked like 1,000 over the next nine years, only an increase of 1,300. Is that constrained for a reason?”

“Yeah, if you go back a little bit more, I think where it shows the year-by-year growth for students. Maybe it's not in here. Maybe I was just looking at it in the packet. Yeah, so it just shows like the next nine years, we're looking at on-campus enrollment about 1,300 students. I would think that number would have been a lot higher.”

“I think so. So I'm just thinking if we were looking at the enrollment there, it will be constrained. There won't be as much growth as we've seen that prior years for acceptance for on-campus students. And I do ask about that because, like you said, it affects the housing, meal plans, and other things there. And then the last thing is on your CIP plan, just curiosity on the 10-year CIP plan, are the numbers indicative of priorities that you're looking at? Or just that's just how they're numbered?”

“Madam Mayor, just real quickly. Yeah, thank you so much for coming out today and reviewing the master plan. I think it's a great approach. The 30 years, I can't imagine trying to look out that far. 10 years is hard enough as it is. So I think that was definitely a great decision to make. And taking a look at the holistic approach of all the properties that are owned by BSU, what is going to need to look like. And I just want to mention for myself, I do get a lot of questions from parents on parking. So I'm glad to see that comprehensive approach is there. What I kind of reiterate is that we…”

“Madam Mayor, Becky, I'm sorry you just sat down, but I think maybe I just want to make sure that I'm clear on what this adding in that I heard you correctly. So with this widening on Gardner, this is a five foot lane that will have delineators on what would be the east side of Gardner from state.”

“Great. Thank you. One other question too, in regards to the speed bumps or humps for Gardner and Utahna, is this, can you describe where they're going to be at on Utahna?”

“Yeah. Mayor Mrakas, A man mayor Council, thank you, I appreciate this coming back before us as we mentioned last time, and I recall this in April. Mayor Mrakas, The design of the subdivision is it's a great design and we provide some single family homes, which we need some multifamily. Mayor Mrakas, For me, the struggle has always been on the utahna being such an unapproved road. and the traffic that it would create there. No sidewalks, no lanes, and the width is very narrow. With this new design, we're removing that access from Utana Road and making that an emergency access, and I think a…”

“Thank you, Madam Mayor. I want to echo Council Willett's statement by saying I really appreciate everyone coming out tonight. You have a lot of choices with your time and what you can do. And I think helping to talk about these projects, whether you're for it against it or want to see some modifications, again, our voices together make a better outcome for these type of projects. I will be supporting this motion tonight. I read through the record. I listened to PNZ. I read through all the comments from the original and new ones that we received. And while I may have personal opinions on the…”
