There's a new person in Boise's highest-paying city job. What she's making
Boise’s new airport director, the city’s highest-paying position , won’t be raking in quite as much money as her predecessor. Mayor Lauren McLean selected Beth Sumner, the deputy director of engineering and planning, to replace former director Rebecca Hupp. Hupp earned $339,000 in the job, but Sumner will earn a little less: $325,000, airport spokesperson Jennifer Kronberg told the Idaho Statesman. “Beth has demonstrated an unmatched commitment to the growth of Boise’s Airport, leading important projects as we undergo an incredible expansion,” McLean said in a news release. “I look forward to her insights and leadership for years to come.” Sumner was previously one of six city employees whose salary topped $200,000 a year. Boise touted her experience in the release, saying Sumner worked as senior executive for installation operations on the military side of Boise’s airfield. She also served in the U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard for 26 years, according to the release. However, recent hires in nearby airports with fewer passengers offered higher wages for airport directors, according to previous Statesman reporting . Spokane offered $375,000 and Reno hired a new airport executive with a $400,000 base salary. Many airports are run either by local governments

Caldwell's Kimball Bridge construction delays push expected completion to summer 2027
CALDWELL — Construction on Blaine Street in downtown Caldwell will go into the city’s busy Winter Wonderland season and remain in place until next summer due to unexpected issues. Since February, Kimball Avenue between Blaine and Arthur streets has been closed for the replacement of the Kimball Bridge , which sits over Indian Creek and is a $4 million state-funded project through the Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (LHTAC). And while construction had an expected completion date of Sept. 18, construction presence remains heavy downtown with the right lane closure on Blaine Street.

Also, leakage in the existing gabion walls has caused the water underneath the bridge to remain full, and crews are still working to treat and pump it into Indian Creek to create a dry condition behind the coffer dam.
