Mayor Sean Coletti - retouched on a comment he had made previously about people should know how things work in planning and within the City. He stated there are quite a few citizens within the City and County that truly do know how things work however, they are unwilling to step up and be leaders in the Ammon City Council Regular Meeting 11.13.2025 Page 2 of 3 community because anger or frustration takes over. If you know people like that, we should encourage them to step up and talk about them. Expect more from people as a lot of people do know.

An employee asked for more information and knowledge and he felt there may be others who would benefit from it as well. There Is an Urban Renewal meeting on Tuesday for anyone interested.
