Summary
Franklin County supervisors unanimously approved ownership changes for ABD liquor licenses for Ites Properties LLC and the Hampton Country Club, agreed to delay strategic planning until after the state legislative session, and scheduled a special session for 1:00 PM the same day.
The Franklin County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved two ownership‑change motions for ABD (alcoholic beverage) licenses during its April 7 meeting. A motion by Lukensmeyer, seconded by McVicker, approved an ownership change for Ites Properties LLC; a motion by McVicker, seconded by Lukensmeyer, approved an ownership change for the Hampton Country Club. Both motions passed with "all ayes" recorded in the transcript.
Separately, the board discussed strategic planning that had been presented the prior week and decided to postpone further deliberation until after the state legislative session concludes, citing potential changes to property-tax structure that could affect county planning. The board set a tentative timeline to revisit the Strategic Plan in late June or early July.
The board also heard brief updates from Jay Waddingham, Secondary Roads Engineer, and Aaron Dodd, Sheriff; the transcript notes the updates were provided but contains no substantive program or budget details. The Supervisors acknowledged the Auditor’s quarterly report for the period ending March 31, 2026. A special session was announced for 1:00 PM the same day and the meeting was adjourned by Chairman Chris Vanness at 9:55 AM.
