Nampa City Council approved the appointment of Jean Mutchie to Seat 3 on the council in a 3-2 vote Monday night.
This seat was recently vacated by Rick Hogaboam, who stepped down to be Nampa’s chief of staff. Mutchie will be sworn in to office Feb. 18th. Her seat will be up for election in 2021.
The Idaho Press reports, a committee of 15 local community members, including two council members, provided the initial review, which resulted in a recommendation of four final candidates.
Mayor Debbie Kling said the four finalists were interviewed by a panel. Kling then recommended Mutchie for the position.
Mutchie has been a Nampa resident for more than 20 years and has worked for St. Luke’s Health System since 2003, where she is currently a community health manager.
