Afton council renews liquor licenses, appoints Main Street Alliance member and approves community accounts
Summary
The council unanimously renewed multiple liquor and restaurant licenses, appointed Paige Allise to the Afton Main Street Alliance, established two donation accounts for the Elk Antler Arch and Oktoberfest fundraising, approved a non-resident water connection, and agreed to a street closure request for Swift Creek High’s graduation.
At the May 13 meeting the Afton Town Council handled a series of routine but locally significant items, approving renewals, appointments and community requests.
Mayor Jeff Jensen presented multiple retail, restaurant and bar & grill liquor license renewals and a new restaurant application for Beeps Pizza. Police Chief Jason Romberg reported no objections and Council Member Scott Griffith moved to approve the renewals; the council voted unanimously to carry the licenses forward.
The council accepted the resignation of Mica Don from the Afton Main Street Alliance and appointed Paige Allise to fill the vacancy on a unanimous vote. Town Administrator Violet Sanderson proposed creating two separate donation accounts—one for Elk Antler Arch restoration and one for Oktoberfest—and the council raised no objections to establishing those accounts.
Taylor Kennington petitioned for a non-resident water connection outside town limits and agreed to sign the annexation agreement when practical pursuant to Ordinance 688; the council approved the non-resident tap and corresponding monthly rates unanimously. Mayor Jensen also announced the town will consider Swift Creek High School’s request to close Fourth Street for graduation under the same conditions used in prior years.
Additional housekeeping: the council rescheduled the June meeting from June 10 to June 17, 2025, and acknowledged Town Administrator Sanderson will receive the 'Caring for the Community' award at the WAM conference. The council set a $750-per-day fine for non-compliance in the Nick Erickson appeal, effective from the date of the Written Decision with a 30-day compliance period.
