Coming Soon….RIGGINS COMMUNITY CENTER!

The City recently accepted ownership of the Riggins IOOF Lodge Hall, and are now in the process of pursuing grant applications for its renovation.   The building desperately needs handicap access as well as upgrades to the electrical and plumbing systems.  Local contractors are reviewing electrical and plumbing, and Slichter Architects are in the process of assessing the building for structural needs, ADA and environmental compliance.  Their findings will be presented at a public meeting scheduled for 6:00pm Monday, December 12^th in the City Hall Council Chambers. 

We want to make the building a true Community Center for Riggins, and want your input as to the building needs and it’s future use.  Please plan to attend this public meeting and let us hear your ideas about the building renovations, upgrades needed and it’s potential future use.

What great things do you see for the new and improved Riggins Community Center?

Deer Feeding Resolution:

CITY OF RIGGINS RESOLUTION # 11-1

            WHEREAS, the feeding of deer leads to high deer density increasing the risk factor for Lyme Disease and the transmittal of Exotic Louse Disease, and

            WHEREAS, deer-vehicle collisions can cause property damage, the potential of medical attention and increased insurance costs, and

WHEREAS, the feeding of deer has an negative effect on landscaping, fauna, trees, flowers and gardens, and fencing of residential property is very costly and not practical, and

WHEREAS, an artificial food source causes mature deer to produce large families which cannot be supported by the natural food supply, and  alters the animal's foraging patterns causing overpopulation which ultimately leads to starvation, and

WHEREAS, the feeding causes wildlife to lose their natural fear of humans and pets and the risk of injury in a densely inhabited area, and

WHEREAS, the City of Riggins residents suffer damage to landscaping, fauna, trees, flowers and gardens from the overpopulation of deer, now

             THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mayor and City Council formally request the public to refrain from leaving food or garbage placed or scattered on their properties to attract deer and formally prohibit the incidental or intentional feeding of deer within the limits of the City of Riggins.
