HomeMy WebLinkAboutVol. 9, Issue 1Friends,
Another year has come and gone. It was a great year to live in Chubbuck as much was accomplished to
make our community a wonderful place to live. I sincerely hope that each one of you had a wonderful
holiday season. Spending time with friends and family can really be rejuvenating. We had an election with
3 of our city council members up for election and all 3 that were currently serving were re-elected. That
bodes well for a contented citizenship. I believe that we are heading in the correct direction and apparently
the voters agree with that line of thought.
We now begin a new year. It is always exciting to start new. The wheels are already turning to bring a
wonderful 2024 for all of us. The staff are working diligently with your best interests in mind. We believe
that this year will see some interesting developments in our city.
We have already had a substantial amount of snow, and more is forecast for the winter season. As hard as
snow can be to deal with it also brings recreation opportunities and the snowpack provides needed
moisture for our growing season. Please be aware of your elderly neighbors and others in need of help and
offer to be there for them. I see this happening all over Chubbuck and it makes me proud to be a part of
such giving and caring people.
It is my hope that all is well with each of you and that you will have a safe and prosperous new year.
With warm regards,
Mayor Kevin England

What is a Comprehensive Plan? Can I participate in the update?
The Comprehensive Plan is a 20-year vision for Chubbuck and its residents. It will reflect the voice of residents and the
business community and be the guiding document for shaping the City’s future. Idaho laws require us to have a comprehensive
plan that includes things such as zoning, economic development, housing, and transportation. The plan is put into action by
setting goals and identifying policies and strategies to attain them.
The future of Chubbuck is in your hands! How to get involved – 1) See the city website at www.cityofchubbuck.us, there’s a

Message from Chubbuck Police:
Snow Removal Policy
Just a reminder about parking and snow
removal! Please be courteous by removing snow
and ice from walkways, sidewalks and parking lots
under your care. City Code (08-28-030)
requires owners or renters of properties to
provide “all weather passage” to pedestrians,
which means you must shovel your snow. Please
do not plow, shovel or blow snow into city streets.
You can be cited for not shoveling your snow or
for placing snow onto rights-of-way or parks
parking lots. Please place your snow on your
property and not on the city street or park parking
lot .
Winter parking is a problem when those who park
on the streets (legally and illegally) are in the way
of snow removal equipment. Please park all
vehicles off the street if at all possible during
winter to facilitate snow removal. If a snow
emergency is declared by the mayor, failure to
remove vehicles from the street may result in the
vehicle being towed to an alternate location and
paying a tow bill. If you have any questions or
concerns, please contact Chubbuck Police Code
Enforcement at 208- 237-7172.
