The Nampa City Council met on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, at 7:00 PM. The meeting began with prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by roll call. Council discussed proposed amendments to the agenda, debated several items related to the future of the Ford Idaho Center, heard public testimony on a zoning rezone for a restaurant, and approved the FY25 third budget amendment after a brief executive session.
Good evening. Good evening. How is everyone this evening? Thank you for being here tonight. We appreciate it. Okay. You know, one of the traditions that we have at Nampus City Council meetings is that we open in prayer. And I so appreciate Pastor Roe Dudley with Grace Bible Church being here to open us in prayer and the pledge. Thank you for joining us. Let's stand. You would give them your heart and your mind concerning what's going on. God, you called us all in history for such a time as this, at any time in human history. So, Lord, here in this area and in this place. We pray you would give us your heart and your mind concerning these things. Give us uh especially the counsel here. Let them know what to do and what not to do. And we thank you that you're gonna do this, and you're gonna further the liberty, Lord, of the gospel, and we pray that this would always be a place where this area would be where Jesus Christ could be glorified and magnified, and we thank you for all you're going to do tonight, and we ask this in Jesus' name. Amendment allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America to the Republic for which it stands one nation, under God, indivisible delivery and justice for all. Thank you, Pastor Roe. We appreciate you being here. Thank you so much. Okay, roll call. Here's Reynolds. Here I feel here. Here I'll present that. Our first item of action is to uh discuss proposed amendments to the agenda. And I do uh want to suggest that we pull item one for M from the agenda. This is a cooperative agreement with ITD that needs to be pulled from this. We will not be needing that. So I ask that get removed from our consent agenda. Council, are you aware of any other items that need to be uh adjusted? Yes. Um since there was no supporting documentation on our packets for items five, six, five, seven, and five eight, no independent study prior to this evening's city council meeting was allowed. I would request we postpone discussion and action on these three items until at least the next uh city council meeting. Is that a motion? Because I'll second if it is. I'll make the motion. I'll second that. Okay, discussion. I will say that on the second two that were requested to be put on the agenda, which was just to publish a non-binding solicitation of interest. Um that is one that a hard copy was presented to you at the bench. It doesn't have to be the action item is to authorize procurement to publish a non-binding. And so with the copy in an action item tonight, it would authorize them to go ahead and move forward and solicit it after you have the opportunity. If you have suggested changes to it, you could. But um, we did ask, I asked procurement, they've put together a solicitation of interest non-binding. It's just to get the word out to see is there anyone interested. So help me understand why you would not want to do that. Well, mayor, to date, we have not had any discussion about the retaining of the Ford Idaho Center. Everything's been about either conveyance uh freely or now the sale, but we have not had any discussion as far as about the actual uh need for uh raising revenues to be able to retain it.
