Boise City Council - Work Session

The Boise City Council held a work session on September 2, 2026, focusing primarily on accessibility improvements and impact fee implementation. The Cross Disability Task Force presented recommendations to enhance accessibility across city programs, services, and facilities, including special events, neighborhood engagement, accessible parking, and on-demand transportation. They emphasized the importance of codifying the task force to ensure ongoing commitment to accessibility. Additionally, Deputy Chief of Staff Zach Clark presented on the potential adoption of Ada County impact fees by the city, recommending that Boise collect these fees on behalf of the county to streamline the process for developers and align with neighboring cities. The council expressed support for moving forward with the fee collection process, which includes adopting ordinances, intergovernmental agreements, and public hearings, while also considering administrative cost offsets and affordable housing initiatives funded through set-aside fees.
