Good morning, Nampa.

A 30-year-old Nampa man, Gary Paulsen, was arrested in Meridian after he resisted arrest by striking an officer in the face and arm when police responded to a call about a vehicle hit with a wooden 2X4—damage estimated at $1,300—and he was later booked into Ada County Jail.

The Nampa School District Board of Trustees has decided to rerun a two year levy for $33.6 million in the upcoming election to replace its expiring funding measure.

Mayor Debbie Kling defended the planned transfer of the Ford Idaho Center to the College of Western Idaho and criticized recent negative public discourse—she noted a nearly $6 million budget shortfall from recent legislation and $25 million in deferred maintenance is affecting the center's operation.
