Senior center seeks town support; council requests fact sheet and orders energy audit

Lisa Miller, representing the Afton Salt River Senior Center, asked the Afton Town Council on Feb. 11 for financial support to continue services and to meet grant-match requirements. Miller said the center provided over 22,000 meals in the last year, averaging about 1,100 daily meals.

Council members did not make an immediate funding commitment but recommended that Miller prepare a fact sheet with service statistics and budget information for consideration during the town’s upcoming fiscal-year budget process. The council asked that the fact sheet be presented at the March council meeting to allow review ahead of budget decisions.

Separately, Town Administrator Violet Sanderson presented the town’s January 2025 financial statements and the council requested an energy audit of Lower Valley Energy accounts to better understand utility costs and potential savings opportunities.

No motions were made to allocate funds at the Feb. 11 meeting; follow-up discussion and possible budget consideration will occur during the regular March meeting and budgetary processes.
