Lewiston OKs drive‑in movie MOU with Nez Perce County; parks director promises 60 new fountains
Summary
Council approved an MOU with Nez Perce County to host a drive‑in movie on the courthouse east parking lot; Parks and Recreation staff said the event will use FM radio for in‑car sound and that the city has ordered 60 drinking fountains to install around public spaces.
Parks and Recreation Director (transcript name varied) described a memorandum of understanding with Nez Perce County to host a drive‑in movie on the east parking lot of the Nez Perce County Courthouse.
The director said the event is intended to highlight new infrastructure and draw residents to downtown. The plan calls for projecting the film on the courthouse wall and transmitting audio to vehicles via FM radio; the movie selected was the new How to Train Your Dragon (live action), with screening to begin around 8:30–8:45 p.m.
Councilors praised the collaboration between city and county. The director also said the parks department had ordered 60 new drinking fountains, an operational detail that directly responds to earlier public comment asking for more water access in parks. Council approved Resolution 2026‑38 authorizing the MOU.
The MOU outlines responsibilities and cost‑sharing; staff will test AV and projection systems in advance and coordinate logistics with the county.
