yet this year. We have two projects on the list this year;one is
resurfacing Rotary Pond Parks Pathway and the second one is the

extension of the Lake Lowell Pathway. Construction prices are so high
right now we may run out of money before one or both projects are
complete. The Street Department is going to be very busy this year so
they will get to these projects as soon as they can.
B. FACTS Update
a. Paul M. said there is interest within FACTS to revitalize the Boise River
Plan. The best group to work on this plan is COMPASS.
b. Bill G. said there is a considerable amount of interest on the part of their
board on the roadways and bikeways plan of ACHD. There is a lot of
support from the neighborhood associations for that plan.
c. Bill G. said they are going to be working on their goals for the next fiscal
year. They have been following ebike legislation,which did not go
through due to a glitch in the language;we will see where that goes
next year.
d. Bill G. reported that the ITD District 3 gave a report on the
improvements on State Highway 44 and Linder Road.
e. Bill G. shared an article from the Idaho Statesman regarding Rails to
Trails and Railroad rights-of-way.
f. Paul M. said that the State has lands they own on the ponds west of
Caldwell. It would be nice to attach that network over to Curtis Park and
into Middleton.
C. Indian Creek TAP Grant Update
a. Brian B. reported that the work is coming along.They had an
organizational meeting 2 months ago. ITD met with City staff and all the
consultants that will be working on this project. They are in the design
phase right now. Since this is federal funding,they need to complete all
the environmental and biological studies. Brian hopes that they will
come out with the first draft of the design later this year and he will
bring that to the committee. It turns out we're going to need to acquire
additional land. We are negotiating with the property owners right now
to try to get that land. Brian does not foresee a problem with this.
D. Safe Routes to School Grant
a. Brian reported that at the last meeting we didn't think we would receive
funding as we were pretty far down the list;tied for 16`h place. There
was 2 million in funding available and we did end up receiving the grant
money. As the state went down the list, some schools requested
funding for more than one project. Since that money was not available,
they were moved out of the rankings and we moved up the list. Brian
stated he has learned from this process and we need to start our
application earlier and submit sooner. Also, we should not request
funding for multiple projects.

b. Brian stated he received the check last week so we can start the project
anytime. We do need to use all of the money and we will begin to
design the project in the next couple of weeks. Brian asked Chris
Danley to go to each school in Caldwell and see what their needs are.
He will work on that over the summer.
VII. New Business
A. Community Pride Day-April 28,2018
a. Brian B. had his staff walk the Greenbelt and take photos. It is actually not in
that bad of shape. He will be soliciting volunteers to work on Saturday,
April 28 from 9am to Noon. Please bring any yard tools you may have-
trimmers,clippers, brooms,etc. Brian will send an email reminder to
everyone.

adopt the budget in June.

effect on July 1, 2018 (House Bill 611) that will not allow us to amend an
agenda at a meeting. In addition,we will have to place on the agenda whether
or not we are taking action on an item. The Mayor suggested we make it very
clear on the agenda the items that are discussing and those that we will be
voting on.
