Published: Jul 20, 2026
Mayor Recognizes Community Partnerships, Fundraisers, and Announces Upcoming Events
The Mayor highlighted several community events and partnerships. These include the 'Just Serve City of Mountain Home' initiative, which facilitates volunteering, and a successful candy drop event for America's 250 celebration in partnership with Just Serve. He also praised the 'Street Walkers' and other women who raise funds for fireworks, emphasizing the rising costs and the community's reliance on these donations. Upcoming events include Air Force Appreciation Day (AFAD) on September 12th, organized by the Chamber of Commerce, and the Festival of Beers on September 26th, with proceeds going to Christmas in the Park.
Mayor Urges Direct Reporting of Issues to City Hall to Improve Responsiveness and Transparency
The Mayor is encouraging citizens to report issues directly to City Hall, public works, or via email/phone instead of posting complaints on social media. This approach ensures faster resolution and avoids the spread of misinformation and animosity. Specific examples include reporting malfunctioning sprinklers or unauthorized water usage from fire hydrants. The Mayor also discussed the upcoming city council meeting where bulk water rates will be discussed, followed by a public hearing for citizen input. He emphasized that water is highly valued in Mountain Home and that the city is working to ensure everyone follows the rules.
City to Replace Infected Trees at Railroad Park and Implement Aquifer Recharge for Splash Pad
The city plans to replace four trees at Railroad Park that are infected with ash borer. Funds have been allocated in the budget for this replacement. The city also has a policy of planting two to five new trees for every one removed at Carl Miller Park and other locations, using trees suitable for the local climate and soil conditions. The Parks and Recreation Department actively plants trees annually. Additionally, the splash pad water is being directed back into the ground to recharge the aquifer, rather than into the sewer lagoon system, due to water scarcity issues. This system involves a timed mechanism and filtration through sand and gravel beds.
