The Kuna City Council voted unanimously to adopt Ordinance 2024-44A and Ordinance 2024-45 at its meeting, approving expansions of the Kuna Municipal Irrigation System to include specified Ada County parcels and declaring associated water rights for delivery purposes. The council also waived the ordinances' three-reading requirement and directed city staff to record the ordinances and update the city irrigation map.

The ordinances name specific parcel owners to be included in the system. Ordinance 2024-44A referenced inclusion of property listed to DB Development LLC (per the Ada County assessor), and Ordinance 2024-45 referenced inclusion of property listed to HK Capital LLC and to Kendrick E. and Eva C. Wallace (per the Ada County assessor). Both ordinances direct the city clerk to record the ordinance as provided by law and direct the city engineer to notify the Boise-Kuna Irrigation District and the affected property owners and to update the municipal irrigation system map. The ordinances state the declared water rights are “for delivery purposes.” The ordinances' effective dates were not specified in the meeting record.

Council members moved and seconded motions first to waive the three readings for each ordinance, and then to approve each ordinance. City clerk roll-call polling recorded votes of “Yes” from Council member McPherson, Council member Biggs, Council member Leroy and Council President Burtson on each approval, and the chair announced the motions carried. The meeting transcript does not record the names of the members who formally made each motion or second.

During a brief discussion of 2024-44A, a council member asked what the “A” suffix signified; a council member answered that the suffix indicated an amendment to the base ordinance. No further debate or public comment on either ordinance was recorded.

The council moved on after the approvals; the remainder of the meeting included announcements about a postcard design contest winner, community awards and holiday events.
