Summary

Riverton council terminated the secure-area lease with Rise and Shine Airport Cafe and approved a new airport restaurant lease transferring operation to Dr. Tara Atkinson’s business.

The Riverton City Council voted May 6 to terminate the secure-area lease held by Rise and Shine Airport Cafe and approved a new lease transferring airport restaurant operations to Dr. Tara Atkinson’s entity, Reisenstein Airport Restaurant LLC.

Public works director Michael Agleston (presenting) said the secure holding room never functioned as intended because of limited space and staffing problems for the proprietor, Theresa Cross. The council approved a motion to terminate that lease and approved a separate lease naming Dr. Tara Atkinson as the new proprietor for the airport restaurant; terms continue the current monthly rent ($1,000) and internet fee ($40) and set operating hours under the new lease.

Council members noted the restaurant’s steady service and discussed whether community groups such as Rotary might meet there; the new lease specifies operating hours and requires written city approval for changes. The actions were approved by motion and voice vote with no recorded opposition.
