completed. City Manager Shimun reported that the agreement had been revised so that all were in
agreement and had been delivered to the proponent for signature. Mr. Killen then reported that he noted
that the irrigation of Legacy Park was spotty. Mr. Shimun reported that he had received a similar
comment and had already directed the Public Works Director to correct the irrigation system. Mr. Killen
then commented that an evaluation of the downtown area of Boise had pointed out, among other things,
the facilitation of motor vehicle traffic tended to increase such traffic and that instead of securing
additional parking downtown, the orientation might more "pedestrian friendly."
Mr. Colton asked about a proposed pole fence for Legacy Park. Staff reported that the item was not in the
budget but could be funded from the proceeds of the clubhouse sale or the remaining bond funds.
Mrs. Arp asked about Alternate Day Sprinkling. Staff reported that the Ordinance had been published.
Mrs. Arp then commented that additional advertising would be necessary to promote compliance.
Mr. Martens asked about the status of the reserved parking places on public right-of-way at the Sports
Marina. Mr. Burton reported that he had found that the parking spaces were about half on private
property and half in the right-of-way. He suggested that the City take no action to remove the signs
reserving the spaces but to not assist in enforcing the restriction. Staff was directed to so notify the
marina owner. Mr. Martens reminded staff about the absence of portable toilets at Davis Beach. Finally
Mr. Martens reported that Linda Fitch had resigned from the City Planning and Zoning Commission.
Staff was directed to prepare a notice for the Star News listing that vacancy and any other
