Wendy Howell is a Senior Transportation Planner at Idaho Transportation Department. Colleagues describe her as "Wendy Howell, is a knowledgeable land planner and administrator within the Treasure Valley. Her vast knowledge includes county and municipal experiences, in which she incorporates as the current Director for the City of Kuna. I have had the privilege to work with her at Canyon County and to this day for various land use applications. She has tremendous insight and forethought with everything she does, plus she has the best sense of humor. I look forward to working with her in the future." and "I've had the pleasure of working professionally with Ms Howell for almost 30 years. Back then, she was with the Middleton City P&Z Department and I was with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. As that City grew, countless developments she administered crossed and engulfed federal canals I administered. She handled her workload very professionally, delivering prompt and complete service to applicants and cooperating agencies. As Department head she capably kept the City's Comprehensive Plan up to date and responsive to explosive Canyon County growth. She worked well with adjoining cities and coordinated sound policies and public services with them. When she moved to the City of Kuna I worked with her when I was with the Ada County Parks Department and later as a private consultant. She capably grew the Kuna P&Z Department while again dealing with explosive growth. She's always provided exemplary balancing of day-to-day customer services, teamwork with fellow city employees and adjoining jurisdictions, and all-the-while looking and thinking forward, then taking strategic steps to make the best possible future for her City. Ms Howell is the gold standard for public servants. Please contact me if I can provide further information. - John Caywood"
