A MESSAGE FROM MAYOR KLING
|
At the
Monday, June 1st Nampa City Council meeting
, we had the opportunity to have the CEO of 3 Oaks Ministries, Boyd Chikatulah, share some heartfelt words with us before opening the meeting in prayer. It was a powerful reminder of the importance of love for our fellow man. As Mr. Chikatulah said, “Our hearts are broken at the death of a black man, Mr. Floyd…”, he would not want what happened there to happen here. As he said, “What should I do?” he also commented that “the issue is about the heart of man.”
We have witnessed very disappointing and grievous actions this past week. I’m very thankful that our community doesn’t believe in violence and that our police will treat all of our citizens equally. We should not, cannot and will not treat one individual less than others, as we are all created in the image of God.
As we look to the future, let’s all examine our hearts to ensure we “love our neighbors as ourselves.” Let us do as Mr. Chikatulah did and ask “What should I do?” Let’s consider how we can make a positive difference in our community by following the Golden Rule and treating others as you want to be treated.
-Mayor Debbie Kling

Valley Regional Transit (VRT) is proposing an innovative redesign of the ValleyRide fixed-route bus service in Nampa and Caldwell and is seeking public input.
The existing bus system operates as a traditional fixed-route service, with set route pathways and stops. A customer using the new on-demand transit service can request a ride between any two stops through a mobile device, phone, or driver facilitated. This would optimize requests to minimize delays and maximize productivity with possible wait times of 30 minute or less. It also would provide direct service between all bus stops in Nampa and Caldwell.
To learn more about the service redesign and access the survey, visit: https://buff.ly/2yYeFHH
The deadline for completing the survey is Monday, June 15, 2020.
