The Boise City Council held an evening session on September 16, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. The council approved deferrals for certain zoning and assessment items and unanimously reappointed a member to the building code board. A detailed third-quarter budget report was presented, highlighting strong general fund revenues driven by development fees, including major projects like the Micron expansion and hospital construction.
