The Boise City Council evening session was held October 19, 2026. Council unanimously approved two ordinances: one establishing the city’s property-tax rebate program for eligible residents on fixed incomes and reaffirming $900,000 in appropriated funding, and another amending city code to address wildlife feeding and related nuisance issues. The mayor said the city would fund three rat birth-control pilot projects; no project costs or vendors were specified. The new requirements call for city departments to comply by November 1, with community education and resident compliance targeted for December 1. The consent agenda, which included continuation of the city’s work with the Neighbors United refugee-resettlement group, also passed; no specific contract amount or procurement award was identified.

Council unanimously approved the Vista Point preliminary subdivision plat for a roughly 44-acre, 640-unit residential development. The applicant described changes from the earlier plan, including fewer units, more open space, and surface rather than podium parking; required improvements include roadway work, raised crosswalks, pathways, and a HAWK signal. Council also approved minutes and appointments to the Parks and Recreation Commission. No RFPs, vendor selections, or bid awards were identified.
