SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS
Proclamation:National Homeowners Month 2017 by the President of the United States
Mayor Nancolas read the following proclamation into the record:
"During National Homeownership Month, we recognize the many benefits of homeownership to our
families, our communities, and our Nation. For generations of Americans, owning a home has been an
essential element in achieving the American Dream. Homeownership is often the foundation of
security and prosperity for families and communities and an enduring symbol of American freedom.
This month, we recommit to ensuring that hard-working Americans enjoy a fair chance at becoming
homeowners.
In the years since the Great Recession, homeownership rates have dipped to historic lows. Many
Americans are not confident they will ever own a home, a tragic consequence of a decade of weak
economic growth, excessive regulations, and stagnant wages. Many young families are unable to
achieve the independence they desire because they have difficulty saving for a down payment,
overcoming regulatory burdens, or gaining access to adequate credit. These challenges are even more
pronounced for minorities, whose homeownership rates remain substantially below those of their
fellow Americans.
I am committed to helping hard-working Americans become homeowners. As part of my
Administration's plan to strengthen the middle class and the American housing market, I am working
with the Congress on a pro-growth agenda of reducing rules and regulations, cutting taxes, and
eliminating unnecessary government spending. These policies will unshackle our economy and create
and sustain high paying jobs so that more Americans have the resources and freedom they deserve to
fulfill their American Dream.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of
the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim
June 2017 as National Homeownership Month.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirty-first day of May, in the year of our
Lord two thousand seventeen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two
hundred and forty-first."
A. Update Report: Pathways&Bike Routes Committee
Bill Gigray, 5700 E. Franklin Suite 200, Nampa, of the Pathways & Bike Routes Committee
provided an update report. He noted that the committee was created in 2008 and meets seven to eight
times per year. The committee is responsible for the implementation of the City of Caldwell 2040
Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan which was approved on April 3, 2017. Mark Pemble currently
serves as the chair for the committee. A five-year budget projection has been created and will be
considered by City Council within the annual budget process.
Mr. Gigray expressed appreciation to the committee members, City staff members, Tom Laws of
COMPASS(technical support),and Alex Hackett of Treasure Valley YMCA(Safe Routes to Schools).
Accomplishments throughout the year include the bike helmet give-away program, improvements to
the Greenbelt, creation of local pathway systems, and the submittal of grant applications for the
expansion of the Indian Creek Pathway system.
Mr. Gigray concluded by noting that greenbelt areas throughout the Treasure valley have been severely
damaged due to the adverse winter weather conditions. A Joint Powers Agreement with other
agencies is being considered for the expansion and maintenance of the pathway systems within the
Treasure Valley.
The Mayor expressed appreciation to Mr. Gigray for his ongoing service over the years to the City for
his interest and passion for the greenbelt program and the excellent accomplishments due to the
ongoing efforts of the committee.
