Mr. Kevin Kilroy stated that he was contracted by the school district to do the work on the upper portion of First Avenue and Madison Street, which runs adjacent to the new elementary school. Mr. Kilroy advised that the lower portion of First Avenue would be excavated and a gravel road would be in place until the road was completed.  The Council discussed the condition of the lower portion of First Avenue, which includes from approximately 260 E.

Mr. Alan Sessions, Afton Fire Chief, updated the Council on the calls that the fire department had responded to throughout the month.  Chief Sessions advised that the fire department had recently elected new officers, which will begin their duties on July 1, 2009.  Elected as officers include Afton Fire Chief Rodd Hillyard, Assistant Fire Chief Rory Coates, and appointed as Fire Department Secretary is Rick Sessions.  Outgoing officers include Afton Fire Chief Alan Sessions, Assistant Fire Chief Rodd Hillyard, and Fire Department Secretary Dennis McDonald. At the call of the Mayor, Councilman Titensor made a motion to approve the elected new officers for the Afton Volunteer Fire Department as presented, seconded by Councilman Parsons.  Motion carried.  After further discussion, Councilman Hepworth made a motion to amend the motion and thank the outgoing officers for their services on behalf of the Town of Afton, seconded by Councilman Hale.  Motion carried.  Chief Sessions thanked the Council and Town personnel for their help and support.

Mr. Tim Heggenstaller, Afton Police Chief, updated the Council on the calls that the police department had responded to throughout the month.  Chief Heggenstaller also updated the Council on the training that their department has recently attended.

Mr. Jim Sanderson informed the Council that the Afton Adult Softball Leagues are currently underway.

Mr. Sanderson advised that the Afton Golf Board has been holding weekly meetings to discuss issues and concerns pertaining to the construction at the golf course.  Mr. Mark Weston, Afton Golf Board Chairman, discussed the progress at the golf course and the payment application request submitted by Peavler’s Mountain Star in the amount of $34,460.05.  Mr. Weston suggested that a walk through at the golf course be completed with the architects and approval from the architect be given before payment is made.  At the call of the Mayor, Councilman Hepworth made a motion to approve the application for payment submitted by Peavler’s Mountain Star in the amount of $34,460.05 contingent upon approval from Mr. Fred Bliss, Golf Course Architect.  Councilman Hale seconded the motion.  Motion carried.

Councilman Parsons advised the Council that the Bank of Star Valley has offered to donate a mobile home trailer to be used as a pro shop until a clubhouse can be built at the course in the future.  The Town would be required to move the building to the golf course.  It was determined that Mr. Sanderson will contact the Bank of Star Valley to pursue this matter further.  The Council thanked the Bank of Star Valley for this generous donation.

Councilman Titensor presented the minutes from the Afton/ Lincoln County Airport Board Meeting held April 23, 2009.

Mr. Jim Sanderson presented the minutes from the Afton Utility Board Meeting held on June 8, 2009.  Mr. Sanderson reported that the water meter installation project is underway and is going well.

Mr. Sanderson informed the Council that Mr. Lance Mortensen, who currently owns a hanger at the airport, is planning to install approximately 200′ of sewer line to his property.  Mr. Mortensen inquired about the possibility of being reimbursed for the installation of the sewer line from future users or possibly receiving a reduced connection fee.  Mr. Sanderson stated that the Board advised Mr. Mortensen that he could not receive a reduced connection fee but a developer installed improvement ordinance was in place.  Mr. Mortensen was instructed to complete the necessary paperwork to receive reimbursement from future users.

At the call of the Mayor, Councilman Hepworth made a motion to take a short break at 5:55 p.m., seconded by Councilman Parsons.  Motion carried.

The regular meeting of the Afton Town Council reconvened at 6:05 p.m.

Mayor Stauffer dismissed Councilman Hale from the meeting at this time due to other commitments.

Mrs. Loni Hillyard, Afton Planning and Zoning Board Chairman, presented a final plat approval request submitted from Miles Beverage, Inc., Condominium Development, within Lot 7 of South Afton Third Addition to the Townsite of Afton in Section 36, T32N R119W and Section 31, T32N R118W, in Lincoln County, Wyoming.    The development will be located south of Sixth Avenue and east of Washington Street and includes the Miles Beverage building.  The existing building will be divided into three separate condominium units.  The Planning and Zoning Board and the Afton Utility Board had approved the preliminary plat with the condition that the utility and emergency vehicle access easement identical with the common elements as shown is granted to the corresponding entities, and that all water and sewer infrastructure is private and will be the responsibility of the condominium association.  The building must also be in compliance with the State of Wyoming fire codes.  Mr. Marlowe Scherbel, representing Miles Beverage, Inc., stated that the building will meet the fire and IBC codes and will be classified as limited condominium units. At the call of the Mayor, Councilman Hepworth made a motion to accept the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board and approve the final plat for Miles Beverage, Inc. with the conditions as stated.  Councilman Titensor seconded the motion.  Motion carried.

Mrs. Loni Hillyard presented a request for a final plat approval submitted by Mr. and Mrs. Farish Thompson.  The property is described as the Estates at Valli Vu Second Filing- Lot 31 of the Estates at Valli- Vu within Section 6, T31N R118W, in Lincoln County, Wyoming.  Mr. Thompson had previously requested a variance to meet setback requirements.  The Planning and Zoning Board denied the request and asked that a boundary adjustment be worked out with the Town.  The property exchange between the Town and the petitioners would be of equal value.  It was determined that the boundary adjustment would not have a significant impact on the surrounding lot owners and would allow the lot owner sufficient space to build a home that would be in compliance with the setback requirements.  Mrs. Hillyard advised the Council that the Planning and Zoning Board approved the final plat with the condition that payment for all fees and costs associated with the petition, survey, and preparation of the legal description be paid by the petitioner, the petitioner execute the quit claim deeds required that would transfer a portion of their platted lot to the Town, and authority be given to the Mayor to sign the final plat contingent upon the petitioners delivery of the executed deed.  At the call of the Mayor, Councilman Parsons made a motion to accept the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board and approve the final plat for Mr. and Mrs. Farish Thompson with the conditions as stated.  Councilman Hepworth seconded the motion.  Motion carried.

Mrs. Hillyard presented the land use chart to be used in conjunction with Title 17, Land Development Code.  Mrs. Hillyard advised the Council that the Planning and Zoning Board had reviewed the chart and recommended approval of the land use chart as presented.  At the call of the Mayor, Councilman Hepworth made a motion to approve the land use chart as presented, seconded by Councilman Titensor.  Motion carried.

Mayor Stauffer presented Ordinance 594 for third and final reading, an ordinance of the Town of Afton, Wyoming, for the annual appropriation for fiscal year July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2010.  At the call of the Mayor, Councilman Parsons made a motion to place Ordinance 594 on third and final reading, seconded by Councilman Hepworth.  Motion carried.  After some discussion, Councilman Hepworth made a motion to amend the golf course expenditure budget from $191,490.00 to $255,263.00.  Councilman Titensor seconded the motion.  Motion carried.  Councilman Titensor made a motion to give the permanent full time employees that do not take the Town’s insurance an additional $100.00 per month, seconded by Councilman Hepworth.  Motion carried.  Councilman Hepworth made a motion to amend the community development budget from $31,000.00 to $33,000.00.  No second to the motion was made.  Motion failed.  After some discussion, Councilman Parsons made a motion to pass Ordinance 594 with the amendments as stated, seconded by Councilman Hepworth.  Motion carried.

About

Located in beautiful Star Valley, Afton has a population of 1,821 and sits at 6239 feet above sea level.

Native Americans and Fur Trappers first inhabited Star Valley.  The Valley soon became a stop for Mormon settlers looking for better opportunities for their families.

The Mormon settlers called the Valley Starvation Valley due to the long harsh winters.  During the winter months they lost many cattle and many went hungry.  Later they shortened the name to Star Valley.

Afton is centrally located in Star Valley at the mouth of Swift Creek Canyon.  It was the rumbling of Swift Creek that helped Afton get its name.  William Budge a Scotland Native visited the township and as he walked the banks of Swift Creek he was reminded of a stream from his homeland.  Budge suggested the Town be named Afton after the Sweet Afton Fame stream of Scotland.

Afton was incorporated in 1902 and A.V. Call was elected as the first mayor.

For more history of Afton and surrounding Star Valley visit the Star Valley Historical Society.
