July is National Parks Month and we are extremely fortunate to have amazing parks and recreation staff who work to beautify Nampa and provide amenities for our community.

We also have a number of outstanding citizens who have volunteered their time over the years to improve our paths and pedestrian access. One of those citizens is LaRita Schandorff who helped to start the City of Nampa's Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee. LaRita is a wonderful example of the "power of one" and the difference one person can make when they put their passions to work. At the ribbon cutting to celebrate the expansion of Stoddard Pathway this week, we also honored her by naming the " LaRita Schandorff Trailhead" along the path.

Thank you to ALL those who helped make these improvements possible for our entire community to enjoy for years to come!

-Mayor Debbie Kling

Republic Services shared a photo of Nampa’s newest renewable natural gas truck they received last week. Because Republic Services buys methane from two dairies in the Magic Valley to fuel their fleet, they continue to be carbon negative while collecting trash and recycling in Nampa.

Thank you to the Republic Services team for all they do to keep Nampa clean and healthy!
