Council approves up to $100,000 to extend sewer to KOA East after 3–2 vote
Summary
The Lava Hot Springs City Council voted 3–2, with Mayor Vicky Lyon breaking the tie, to participate with KOA East and the Lava Hot Springs Foundation to extend sewer along Blazer Highway with city participation capped at $100,000.
The Lava Hot Springs City Council approved participation in a sewer extension project to serve KOA East, voting to cap the city’s contribution at $100,000.
Council President Rickey Frandsen moved the measure, citing City Engineer Bryan Phinney’s recommendations; Councilmember John Head seconded. The motion passed after a split council vote—Head and Frandsen voted in favor, Leah Navarro and Jeanie Avery voted against—and Mayor Vicky Lyon cast the tie-breaking Aye to produce a 3–2 outcome.
Council discussion referenced engineering guidance from Phinney and the prospect of cooperation with the Lava Hot Springs Foundation. The motion instructs city staff to participate in the sewer extension project and limits the city’s financial exposure to no more than $100,000. No additional appropriation details or timelines were specified at the meeting.
The council’s decision authorizes staff to coordinate with KOA East and the Foundation per the engineer’s recommendations; follow-up steps and any required contract terms were not discussed in detail during the meeting. The council did not vote on a specific contract at this session; the motion was a directive to participate and fund up to the stated cap.
