County Commissioners Meet Monday on Seasonal Road Work
Paris, ID · September 13, 2026
LoToJa cyclists cleared the valley yesterday, leaving the highway asphalt completely open for easy Sunday driving. Take your time out there today — the whole corridor has settled into a quiet autumn idle.
The Lead
The Bear Lake County Board of Commissioners convenes Monday morning at the courthouse for its regular mid-September business session, tackling agenda items that shape the valley as autumn approaches. Commissioners will hear seasonal updates from county road superintendent Todd Boehme regarding late-season grading, culvert clearings, and winter fleet readiness before the first mountain freezes arrive. The board is also scheduled to review end-of-fiscal-year budget claims and administrative agreements ahead of the October 1 fiscal turnover, alongside standing committee assignments and public property filings. Because Paris serves as the county seat, these biweekly sessions represent the primary venue where local land decisions and road maintenance priorities take formal shape. The public gavel falls at 9:00 AM in the commissioner room, with official minutes posted to the county records portal later in the week.

Spotlight & Story
- Paris Creek
- When settlers arrived in autumn 1863, they first named this fledgling camp North Twin Creek after the rushing mountain water. By 1910, engineers channeled the creek's steep drop above town to spin the dynamos that brought electricity to the valley.
