CITY OF NAMPA UPDATES
With a commitment to build trust and provide transparency to the citizens and businesses we serve, the City of Nampa invites the community to engage in the fiscal year 2022 budget approval process between now and the official public hearing on Monday, August 16, 2021 at 6:30 p.m. 

Following the council budget workshops (July 12-13), and ahead of the August 16 public hearing, the City of Nampa will release videos highlighting budget information to help better inform taxpayers on both the entire budget as well as portions allocated from property taxes.
We encourage Nampa taxpayers to participate in the approval process by reviewing the proposal, listening to the workshop discussion and providing feedback to Nampa City Council members and Mayor Kling (email mayor@cityofnampa.us and we will share with Nampa City Council or email council members directly).

The City of Nampa's next fiscal year begins October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.
CHIPS SEALING IS COMPLETE!
Our Streets Division will be in your area sweeping, fog sealing, and restriping the roads over the next few weeks.
Important reminders for drivers and residents:
  • Please help keep workers safe. Be mindful of crews working in chip seal areas.
  • Parking on streets during the fog seal process is prohibited! Once the signage is removed, street parking may resume.
  • Please place trash cans near the front of the sidewalk close to the curb during trash pick-up days. Republic Services will continue to pick up your trash.
Shout Out to the Chip Seal Team!
Thank you to the parent who shared appreciation for the kindness extended by the chip sealing team recently. The team member provided a pink Streets Division hat and Gatorade to a young girl who was watching them work outside.

A huge thank you to the entire Streets Division who works year-round to extend the life of our roadways and make them as safe as possible for travel!
