The Planning Commission Deserves the Community's Thanks
By District 2 Council Member Peggy Dooling-Baker - 23 May 2026

Stop Admiring the Problem — Let's Get to Work
By District 3 Council Member Kay Hoogland - 23 May 2026

Staying True to Why We Were Elected
By District 4 Council Member Chad Booth - 11 April 2026

The first few months of our new city have been strong and encouraging. We need residents to stay engaged and to speak up. It is going to take all of us to keep this Valley special. As elected officials, we serve at the will of the people. But more importantly, we serve with the guidance of the people.

It's Really About Us
By District 3 Council Member Kay Hoogland - 28 February 2026

It’s hard to believe it’s only been seven weeks since we became a city. In that short time, I’ve heard many reflections about the vote to incorporate — excitement, questions, and yes, some understandable worries.

My first two weeks on the city council have been filled with new learning. It’s an exciting time for us. We counted down the days until we went online and became an official city and now here we are.
