Dear City of Caldwell P&Z Commissioners and City Council Members,
As noted in Vallivue’s initial response letter, the students of the Midland Meadows
subdivision would attend East Canyon Elementary School, which is among Vallivue’s 6
overcrowded elementary schools.
Taylor Merrill of Westpark Companies has been very thoughtful of the Vallivue School
District and reached out to discuss how they might be a part of the solution as they
support the community with more housing opportunities. Fortunately, Westpark
Companies has proven sensitive to the needs of our educational efforts and accepted
Vallivue’s proposal of a $1,000 donation per dwelling unit for an estimated total of
$280,000 to assist the district in mitigating the impact of new growth.
As you know, developers are not mandated by law to contribute impact fees toward
schools in Idaho, which makes this donation especially noteworthy.
Along with this letter, Vallivue School District has submitted the signed Donor Agreement
Form as proof of partnership with Westpark Companies in serving the Vallivue
stakeholders.
Sincerely,
Joey Palmer, Ed.S.
District Director
“Preparing Individuals for Success Through Education”
