A MESSAGE FROM MAYOR KLING
Working on behalf of our citizens, last night the City of Nampa received three awards at the 74th Annual Association of Idaho Cities Conference.

  • The GIS Division with our Public Works team was recognized for "GIS & Data-Driven Decisions." GIS is the backbone of Public Works, providing the critical information needed for project identification and support of our programs.


  • Local Highway Technical Assistance Council awarded Brad Farner, a Heavy Equipment Operator in our Streets Division, with an "Innovative Idea Award 2020" for his innovative idea to improve safety with some heavy equipment.

I am incredibly thankful for the work done by our staff and youth council and am glad they were recognized for their efforts.

As shared in more detail below, Economic & Community Development Director Beth Ineck has accepted a position with the Boise Valley Economic Partnership (BVEP). We are celebrating alongside Beth as she moves to represent our entire region in her new role with BVEP. We will continue to work with Beth and wish her the very best in her new position.

Finally, we are pleased to announce Nampa's State of the City will be held Thurs., Sept 30 at the Nampa Civic Center at 4:30 p.m. Please save the date and plan to join us as we celebrate Nampa and our 130th anniversary as a city on September 30th!
-Mayor Debbie Kling

PS Happy Father's Day on Sunday!

NAMPA FIRE DEPARTMENT
TRENCH RESCUE TRAINING
The Nampa Fire Department held a multiple-day 30-hour trench rescue technician class to 50 members of the Nampa Fire Department, as well as members from the Twin Falls Fire Department, Caldwell Fire Department and Weiser Rural Fire Department.

Trench Rescue incidents are a low-frequency/high-risk operation for firefighters, but it is important to have the proper equipment and training to safely operate these types of calls.  

The class was funded through an Assistance to Firefighters Grant awarded in 2020. There are also many amazing community partners who helped fund the necessary equipment to make this program possible. Thanks to DAS-CO, Inteframe, Lowes, Upper Deer Flat Fire District, and Mirage Trailers, the Nampa Fire Department was able to purchase the needed equipment and trailer for area responses. Watch the video below to learn more!
CHIPS SEALING NOW HAPPENING IN
SELECT AREAS
The City of Nampa Streets Division has begun chip sealing in select areas and expects to be complete by the end of August. This year, 11 arterial road sections and 15 subdivisions will be chip sealed.
Veterans Memorial Eternal Flame Replaced
The "eternal flame" in the Veterans Memorial outside Nampa City Hall has been replaced after the neon on flame went out a number of months ago. The original structure was installed in 1994 by the Knights of Columbus and the neon itself was difficult to find. Instead of neo, our facilities department identified a local company to install new LED lights in two different colors which also flash to simulate a flame.

A huge thank you to our facilities department for all they did to make this improvement happen!
