Council approves two malt-beverage permits (one contingent on TIPS); another was earlier tabled

The Afton Town Council considered multiple malt-beverage permit requests for events at Canyon View Park during the July 8 meeting.

Heidi Martin requested a malt-beverage permit for a wedding on August 8, 2025 from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.; Council Member Dirk Hillyard moved to approve the permit, Council Member Will Wilkes seconded, and the council approved it unanimously.

When Mayor Jensen presented a permit request for Andy Sessions earlier in the meeting, Sessions was not present and the council requested additional information; Council Member Wilkes moved to table that initial request and Council Member Griffith seconded. Later in the meeting Andy Sessions attended and requested a permit for August 16, 2025 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.; Council Member Griffith moved to approve the permit contingent upon verification of TIPS training from Megan Stoker, Council Member Michael Butler seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.

The minutes record the council conditioned one approval on verification of responsible-person alcohol training (TIPS) and did not note any other restrictions or application denials.
