Dave Frechette
E. Nature Dr.
Boise, ID

Finance Admin.

Paul Koloski
Fairfield Ave. (Randolph Robertson Sub.)
Boise, ID
ISSUE: People are being issued $76 tickets in parks for “dog at large.” We have been running our dogs at the park and on the ditch bank for 20 years. The paper said it was only $25 tickets for off-leash dogs.

ISSUE: Signs have totally gotten out of hand; they’re everywhere and Code Enforcement
doesn’t do anything. There are also guys on every corner doing the windshield repair, and they said they don’t need a business license because the City of Boise never checks.

ISSUE: Upset about the tailgating at Boise State and the Police Department handing out
citations to people with cups. It seems like it’s become a revenue thing for the city.

David Morrison
W. Highland St.
Boise, ID 83706
ISSUE: Some people living in the area around BSU Campus are charging to park in front of

not support jobs.

10/20/10
Nancy Barkell
ISSUE: The governor actually has a number that you can call and talk to him or his wife 24/7 a day. She is annoyed because the Mayor has caused a great amount of concern around her neighborhood.

10/22/10
Sally Halbach
Promintory Rd.
Boise, ID
ISSUE: Concerned about the begging going on outside of Winco, Costco, and all the other
major stores in town. She noticed that it really is becoming more intense, and she hopes city leaders and store managers get it under control before the Holidays.
