MESSAGE FROM MAYOR KLING

WELCOME KARI!

Please join me in welcoming Kari Seely as the new Executive Assistant to the Mayor.

In her previous career, Kari worked as a police officer with the Nampa Police Department for almost 17 years. The last ten years in law enforcement she was assigned to the Persons Crime Detective Division, specializing in elder/vulnerable adult abuse and domestic violence. She is also a composite sketch artist! Kari remains active and enjoys fitness activities as well as plants!

We are excited and grateful to have Kari working for the City of Nampa again!

As we welcome Kari, we also say farewell to TJ Hewitt, pictured in the middle holding a gift. TJ retired last week and was such a blessing to me and our entire City team.

-Mayor Kling

CITY + COMMUNITY

Replica of Mexican Independence Bell donated to Idaho

Last week the Consejo de Comunidades Hispanas A.C., a non-profit organization which supports Mexican migrant families living in the United States, donated a replica of the Mexican Independence Bell to the Mexican community of Idaho. Through the gracious honor of Guadalajara’s entrepreneur and confectioner, Dr. Enrique Michel Velasco, the replica of the Bell of Dolores, the national symbol of the Independence of Mexico, was given so that Mexicans in the United States may continue to preserve a part of the history of their country of origin.

Idaho is only the fifth state in the nation to receive this important national symbol of Mexico. Idaho’s bell, LIBERTAD, will be on display at Nampa’s Hispanic Cultural Center of Idaho.

We wish to thank Dr. Velasco and the Consejo de Comunidades Hispanas A.C. for their generous donation to our state and community.

June is Elder Abuse Prevention Month

The City of Nampa and Nampa Family Justice Center join communities around the world to promote National Elder Abuse Awareness Month in June.

This year, in addition to a variety of social media posts with information, stories, and resources on elder abuse awareness, the Nampa Family Justice Center will be holding an inaugural walk. On Friday, June 24, the community is invited to participate in a one-half mile walk called “Lean on Me” where together we can prevent elder abuse.

The walk will start at 1 p.m. at the Nampa Family Justice Center, located at 1305 3rd St. S., and walk to the Nampa Public Library where there will be live music from “The Misfit Army”, resource booths and ice cream! Participants will also hear from Nampa Family Justice Center Elder Program Coordinator Alyssa Groen and the Nampa Police Department.

CHIP SEALING HAS STARTED!

There are 23 road sections that will be chip sealed. Subdivisions will be chip-sealed last. A complete list of all the roads to be chip sealed can be viewed on our website, along with a map of affected areas. When all of the scheduled roads are chip sealed, crews will proceed to fog seal and then finally to re-stripe the roads.
