Kuna City Council made significant strides in enhancing local infrastructure during their meeting on August 5, 2025, by approving two key ordinances aimed at expanding the municipal irrigation system.

The council unanimously voted to waive three readings and subsequently approved Ordinance 2025-19, which streamlines the process for implementing necessary changes within the city. This ordinance is expected to facilitate quicker responses to community needs and improve overall governance efficiency.

In a related move, the council also approved Ordinance 2025-20, which enlarges the boundaries of the Kuna municipal irrigation system. This ordinance includes the addition of 80 acres owned by Linder Land LLC and establishes permanent water rights for delivery purposes. The council directed the city clerk to record this ordinance and instructed the city engineer to update the irrigation system map and notify relevant stakeholders, including the Boise Kuna Irrigation District.

In addition to these approvals, the council took a moment to honor the late Don Carlock, a former city councilman and fire commissioner, who recently passed away. His contributions to the community, including his involvement with the American Legion and local youth programs, were acknowledged as a significant loss.

The meeting also reflected on the recent Kuna Days event, which saw a good turnout despite some logistical challenges, including road work that affected traffic flow. Overall, the council expressed satisfaction with the community's engagement and the successful execution of the event.

These decisions and discussions highlight the council's commitment to improving local infrastructure and honoring community contributions, setting a positive tone for future initiatives in Kuna.
