OPEN NOTICE TO THE CITIZENS OF LAVA HOT SPRINGS
The City of Lava Hot Springs will be forming a committee to review the City Code and Ordinances regarding noise. There has been an ongoing and recurring issue, especially in the summer season, with the noises of the commercial zones impacting residents. The City is looking to find some resolution to this issue. In the interest of finding a solution to the needs of both businesses in the city and residents, the City is looking for willing participants to sit on the committee.
The primary interest of this committee will be to reexamine the language in the existing City Ordinances. The City is interested in making sure the needs of both business and residents are met. The understanding that there must be a healthy downtown atmosphere and nightlife, balanced with the ability for residents to enjoy their property in peace, is central to the discussion. This committee will be looking at current Ordinance, examples of Ordinance from other communities, and other information to formulate recommended changes to submit to City Council. Code enforcement and penalty structures will also be discussed.
There will be seats on committee for three residents and three seats for business owners (one representative per household or business.) If there are more volunteers than seats available, there will be a selection of volunteers. Those not selected will be given an opportunity to speak in front of committee. Committee members will be expected to be present for the first committee meeting. Subsequent meetings can be attended via Zoom, if necessary. There will be three facilitators from the City of Lava.
It is encouraged for all individuals who are interested to have their opinion heard on this matter. Meetings will be open to the public, with opportunities for statements. All aspects of the noise ordinance will be open for discussion, and there will be an expectation for all opinions to be heard with open minds and mutual respect.
The deadline to volunteer for the Noise Ordinance Committee will be Monday, October 14th. The first committee meeting date shall be set for Monday, October 21st at 6:00 PM. Subsequent meeting dates are to be determined.
You can sign up to volunteer by email at lavacitycodeenforcement@gmail.com or by texting (208) 223-0202. Please include your name, whether you would like to volunteer as a resident or business owner, and relevant contact information.

WATER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
The first phase of the project was completed in 2020. The second phase involves the drilling of a new well and additional improvements. Potential well sites are being explored and will involve the acquisition of land.
EAST MAIN STREET PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE (SOUTH SIDE)
The city has budgeted funds to install a pedestrian bridge on the south side of the existing traffic bridge over the Portneuf River on East Main Street. The bridge will look identical to the one on the North side but wider to encourage tubers to refrain from walking on the traffic bridge. The city is working on acquiring a small portion of property from an adjoining property owner for the bridge installation.
