The item was noted to be consistent with the FY25 budget and approved by the city attorney; the contract authorization covers the base bid and preconstruction services, with ad alternates to be brought back to council for later approval.

Council members asked whether the listed ad alternates (approximately $1 million total) would be selected under the contract; staff said the present authorization covers base bid (~$3.8M) and $200,000 in preconstruction work (roughly $4.0M total), and that the ad alternates would be returned to council for selection. Staff also noted potential additional impact fees from the fire district that could modestly increase available budget for add‑alternate work and that fuel station work likely would be procured separately.

Separately, the council authorized Fleet Services to generate purchase orders effective Oct. 1, 2025 to vendors and manufacturers for vehicles and equipment included in the FY26 capital budget (excluding golf vehicles) for an estimated total of $3,587,624.

Both measures passed by roll call vote. Staff said more detail on ad alternates and potential separate procurement for the fuel station will return to council for future action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","September 15, 2025 - Regular Council Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Nampa authorized a construction manager/general contractor contract with Faber Construction for design and construction of a new Fleet Services building not to exceed $5,000,000, and separately authorized purchase orders for FY 2026 vehicles and equipment totaling an estimated $3,587,624.","taxTitle","Nampa, Canyon County, Idaho","taxId",2629,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5982785,"Nampa authorizes $165 million DEQ promissory note to finalize wastewater project financing",325,4587000,4912000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5792941-77aaa8c70ebe70a50f402b59b2ca9970&start=4587&end=4912","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5792941-77aaa8c70ebe70a50f402b59b2ca9970/thumbnail_4587000.jpg","/articles/5982785/Nampa/Canyon-County/Idaho/Nampa-authorizes-165-million-DEQ-promissory-note-to-finalize-wastewater-project-financing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5982785-df2ce2ba83ed176dd76a831de5c07d6f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771198748&Signature=n-cYJ8MqwL-GBe~OL6l9Y-LDsI4oNGMFRSEG3eb2Gvs84HmUovo64ZBHD-qlOHoYUbBVKwgYCI5bwrcBlgDiC-VykTQZzVTP5O0BxSmyuEq18bQjJSiXsxPzwQtFL2JM6Lgmb5W87uPFhE9Yi1CcFB8BpMWXoev~zkhlUnCQTC3MWaTURx4GLBKI6gArPP9kWPZY8TGKX1fmUz-FkfT3kUuUxR7Nt1zZmC2RjCq~5dXpc0Z6NJ0PJfLFayVbA6aFqp9L04U00Fn0cDNNpkM2WhGhIE8e3DHTNK5WIE4kpzcvtpv-ny219NetjAkLHTFNzzuFi~BbfjDfU9ZqrpVuCw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nampa City Council voted Sept. 15 to authorize the mayor to execute a promissory note and associated loan documents with the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to provide permanent financing for the wastewater system improvements. Bond counsel John McDermott told the council the note will total $165,000,000 with a 30‑year term maturing Sept. 26, 2055, with annual payments; counsel said the loan will replace interim construction draws previously taken from DEQ and will be payable from system revenues.

City staff and bond counsel said the new note will be issued on parity with an earlier DEQ note and that the pledged repayment source is wastewater system revenues. Questions from council members addressed interest rate history on prior SRF/DEQ financings; staff stated the current DEQ permanent financing will carry a stated interest rate (discussed in session) and that the structure follows DEQ terms for long‑term loans.

A council motion to authorize the mayor to sign the resolution and accept the DEQ loan documents passed unanimously. Staff said the resolution also authorizes related loan agreement documents, a reserve fund and other customary closing matters to complete the permanent financing.","Council approved a resolution authorizing execution of a $165 million promissory note and loan agreement with the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality to convert interim construction draws into permanent financing for the city's wastewater renewal project.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5982791,"Nampa council continues Lakeview neighborhood annexation after resident concerns about density, traffic and buffers",4887,6366000,11253000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5792941-77aaa8c70ebe70a50f402b59b2ca9970&start=6366&end=11253","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5792941-77aaa8c70ebe70a50f402b59b2ca9970/thumbnail_6366000.jpg","/articles/5982791/Nampa/Canyon-County/Idaho/Nampa-council-continues-Lakeview-neighborhood-annexation-after-resident-concerns-about-density-traffic-and-buffers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5982791-a50bb74a2860bf4c31cdae832fdde140/orig.mp4?Expires=1771198748&Signature=RxgRtcA1QTh-8WDTwxfmBlJOsMIyajwGZUxJ5TRZLIHK76SH3iETD~5y95ornXCbBst9aOQIlL8lbzyP6qnu3ro~ryaarS8UpJVlT0BqrpqdYuESUM~3wyFaxJgvKiOMGM6Ka8Yo0MFY3lG~ZJmRN4YUXetHNul8kB4W5jIQlJiwzw43~OFZ380cxXzQwmKTeYxr8pZ-2BoKK9cKi3G-QvEx5NHDVF6dP~JezofcAGkbU~5TT0iAHk84LTNMgHyzKR~MA~9dlcL6ZU-v9y8isjwXxXZYX2aH5FpnbBw9IuNpBQYkzh80ZC1mn2mT9yWAKIFTydU5649T7WGsQQzFuA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Nampa on Sept. 15 heard extensive public testimony and testimony from the applicant on an annexation, multi‑zone zoning and preliminary plat for a proposed 57.16‑acre development called Lakeview, located near Midway Road and Iowa Avenue. Planning staff recommended approval with conditions; the Planning and Zoning Commission had unanimously recommended approval, but multiple residents urged council to deny or delay the project citing traffic, wildlife impacts and fiscal concerns.

Heath Clark, representing the applicant, said the revised plan responded to prior council direction by reducing density from a prior 155‑lot proposal, adding a 150‑foot‑wide, 7.64‑acre natural buffer along the southwest edge of the site, and providing about 25% qualified open space. Clark said the plan includes a mix of lot sizes ranging from 7,000 square feet to half‑acre and larger lots, pathways, a dog park, sport courts and play structures, and that 37 lots on the west would be served by a privately owned pump station maintained by the homeowners association.

Planning staff explained required frontage improvements, dedication of right‑of‑way, required curb/gutter/sidewalk, and that wastewater and water capacity are adequate; the proposal incorporates several RS zoning districts to implement the city’s comprehensive plan guidance. Staff noted a traffic study and that the Midway Road/Lakeview Avenue intersection had been converted to an all‑way stop; turn lanes were not found to be warranted at studied intersections.

Neighbors testified about potential harm to wildlife near Lake Lowell, increased traffic on narrow local roads (Iowa Avenue), concerns about long‑term service costs to the city, and dissatisfaction with notification and timing while Canyon County considers its area-of-impact boundary on Oct. 16. Several speakers urged denial or, at least, a delay until county decisions are final and a fresh fiscal analysis on growth impacts is completed.

In response to public comments, the applicant said the owner/farmers live on the property and that farming has become unsustainable; the applicant indicated willingness to remove one flagged lot (Lot 1, which is encumbered by an Idaho Power easement) and to reconfigure to move a sport/basketball court into a more central park area, a change the applicant said would reduce the net lot count by one rather than two.

After the public comment and applicant rebuttal, council voted to continue the matter to Nov. 3, 2025 to allow staff, the applicant and county processes to advance and to give the council more time to evaluate buffering, fiscal impacts and other concerns. The hearing was not decided Sept. 15; the applicant and staff were directed to return with any revised plat language or commitments for consideration at the continued hearing.","Council continued the annexation and zoning request for a 57.16-acre Lakeview neighborhood to Nov. 3 after residents raised concerns about density, proximity to Lake Lowell, traffic and the adequacy of buffers; the applicant agreed to consider reconfiguring lots and moving a sport court into a central park area.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5982795,"Nampa council advances process to decide future of Ford Idaho Center, rejects formal appraisals",1826,1724000,3550000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5792941-77aaa8c70ebe70a50f402b59b2ca9970&start=1724&end=3550","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5792941-77aaa8c70ebe70a50f402b59b2ca9970/thumbnail_1724000.jpg","/articles/5982795/Nampa/Canyon-County/Idaho/Nampa-council-advances-process-to-decide-future-of-Ford-Idaho-Center-rejects-formal-appraisals","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5982795-6a5711a17459b4ca84e86c415ce76443/orig.mp4?Expires=1771198748&Signature=dUUrfLfJbcjfaVJWh1dt~xXHbdX9ctJFSA1NcS5MkFhvHAyJ-VDVDGOcznuescebMBTgOGimiuAD8QWpxSolGYLJMHaOM9rN51n7yxLr2f6wP1Jz4ncUAMr-Ak1zKw3YPGqM0oyNcYNLNUJFDaEYmKV1-DdaMhRH84V0921s6N8t0tIBbXOhq3DwUxxWu8QKVOU4SZBTLvaraU5xnL2Y91VESTUxShjv6S4kEy3e2hFaUn-OutddZbD3NQQDEpDFkh237AfsVGqoiejtT712hHZol7Xfjzts8TOgBKRFg8Gd8yNqh46XhqNgCHcNDCRQTGsQ7IFOs4VCq7Zb1xXzWw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Council members moved on Sept. 15 to advance a public process to decide the future of the city-owned Ford Idaho Center, voting to stop soliciting formal outside appraisals and to open a public hearing process that could result in sale, conveyance to a governmental entity or retention. The council voted that staff should cease seeking formalized appraisals for the property; the motion passed 5–1.

City Attorney Preston Rutter described the statutory process the city must follow to sell public property and said the council must first declare whether the property is underutilized or not used for public purposes before proceeding to the next step. Rutter said the package before council included a draft resolution making those threshold findings and a proposed timetable to bring a final public hearing.

Procurement Director Rick Kennedy told council that outreach to appraisers had produced limited responses and that some specialized appraisal estimates he heard in preliminary conversations ranged widely; Kennedy said a comprehensive formal appraisal could be substantial, and that staff had sought a narrower “fair market assessment” rather than a deep, multi‑discipline appraisal.

Council discussion centered on whether the Ford Idaho Center currently met the statutory standards for underutilization and whether the city should convey the property to the College of Western Idaho (CWI) under deed restrictions, sell to a private buyer, or retain it. Several council members said they preferred to keep the property, pointing to community use and the city’s prior investment; others said a public hearing was necessary to let the community and potential buyers comment.

Council members debated whether to set a minimum sale price if a sale option were put to voters at the public hearing; several proposed amounts were floated in separate motions during the meeting, including $30 million, $40 million, $45 million, $75 million, $100 million and $150 million. Multiple motions to set specific minimum prices failed to reach a majority. Later in the meeting a motion to move the matter forward with a $75 million suggested minimum passed (vote recorded in minutes). Preston Rutter reminded council that state statute does not require a minimum price and that if council chose not to set one, a sale vote that prevailed at the public hearing could open bidding without a floor.

Council also discussed draft deed restrictions (labeled Exhibit D in the staff packet) that would accompany a conveyance to CWI or a sale to a private party. Rutter and several council members said the deed restrictions were a draft and could be tightened to specify reversion language, successors in title, and use limitations; councilmembers asked staff to prepare clearer deed restriction language for the public hearing.

The council directed staff to schedule the public hearing and to return updated draft deed restriction language; the public hearing was set for Oct. 6, 2025 (public notice requirements and timelines discussed). Separately, the council approved a motion to stop seeking formalized appraisals for the property. No final sale, conveyance or retention decision was made at the Sept. 15 meeting.","After weeks of debate, the Nampa City Council voted to stop seeking formal appraisals and to advance a public hearing process to consider whether to sell, convey to the College of Western Idaho or retain the Ford Idaho Center; council also debated but did not set a final minimum sale price.","actionData","errors"]
