NAMPA, Idaho — One week after council appointed him, Bruner said he knows he is stepping into a role with the momentum and passion of Hogaboam already behind it.
“The folks, the directors, the staff here, I’ve met with many of them this past week, and I am just so impressed,” Bruner said. “And with their guidance and skill sets, we’re gonna do our very best to follow his path.”

Bruner said that path includes a focus on policing and infrastructure.
Bruner, a former Nampa city councilman, was selected nearly three months after Mayor Rick Hogaboam died following a cardiac emergency during a town hall meeting in March.
During last week's meeting, Bruner said one of his top priorities as mayor will be helping unite the city council after a lengthy and sometimes divisive appointment process. He also said he hopes to improve communication with residents.
Bruner will serve as mayor until the position returns to the ballot in November 2027.
