- As a community there are many things that we are lacking. Our kids are of utmost importance as are our Senior Citizens. We lack a recreation facility but we won’t get there until we bond for one. With the current property tax fluctuation from commercial to residential I am not willing to risk adding more line items, until I can ensure that we aren’t running our seniors out of their homes. Always looking at alternatives. We have a need for more sports fields and parks. This one we are addressing with the use of park impact fees.
- Growth is a major issue for all of the communities in the Treasure Valley and beyond. There are many facets to this one, such as schools and roads. Taking care of the folks that live here first.
- Keeping Kuna the community that it is. When people need help, there is an abundance of those that will step in. We are a friendly and caring bunch of folks.
