As your elected and appointed officials for Malad City, and personnel from the Malad City Office and Malad City Public Works Department, we would like to take this opportunity to wish each of our citizens a Merry Christmas! 

We have appreciated working for you this past year. We feel that we have accomplished a lot of good for our city, but we know there is much more work to do. We want all of you to know that we are here to serve you, and we will do that to the best of our ability. 

Next year will be a challenge for our city with the large project for the reconstruction of Bannock Street. Main construction will not begin until after school ends in May; but after that, it is going to take a lot of patience from all of us to make the adjustments needed to get around town without using our main thoroughfare.  

If any of our citizens have questions regarding the Bannock Street Project, or questions or concerns about any other issue in the city, we hope that you will reach out to one of us for answers. We will be happy to take your phone calls, texts or emails. 

Our website, maladidaho.org (under the tab “government” and then “city government”) provides a list of all city officials and employees with email addresses and/or telephone numbers. Our new telephone system is set up so that you can talk to either the city office or the public works’ department. If you call after hours, you can leave a voicemail. If you have a public works’ emergency, the telephone number of our Superintendent, Tyler Webster, is listed under his photo on the website. If you have an emergency involving city ordinances, the telephone number of our City Ordinance Officer John Christophersen, is listed under his photo on the website. 

If any of you have suggestions of how we can improve our service to you, please let us know. We are open to suggestions. We all consider it a great privilege to serve you, the citizens, of our great little city! Thank you for that opportunity.

To help you further enjoy this Christmas Season, don’t forget to stop by the Light Show in the Park, which will run from 5:30 to 10:30 p.m. each evening. Pull into the parking lot behind the Library and tune in to 91.1. Thank you to Brad and Melanie Coleman, JP and Justin Wittman, Quinn Eliason, Eric Crowther, Challis and Hailey Sweeten and ATC Communications for their help setting up the show.
