Food bank seeks building donor

Food bank seeks building donor The Riverton Community Food Bank is looking to increase money to buy a building in Riverton for food storage. Council voted to sell a piece of property to R. Warpness said the signs would be temporary, and they would not be allowed in areas where it would cause an obstruction of view. Signs placed where views are obstructed at street intersections will be prohibited. Councilwoman Diana Mahoney said she isn't concerned and suggested if the signs get out of hand, the issue will be addressed at that time. "I personally enjoy seeing the signs and do not see where it will be a major problem," Mahoney said. Council members voted to allow a downtown farmers market from 4 p. All applications filed paid the $65 renewal fee, which included inspection fees and certification with the State of Wyoming. "Are we limiting the amount of signs someone can have in their yard or on a street corner?" Christensen asked. Other business included day care licensing, voting on a farmer's market, allowance of temporary signs, and selling of city property. The council approved 10-day care license renewals after receiving applications to renew. City administrator Steven Weaver said city staff had reviewed the request and felt the downtown parking lot posed problems on account of it being a public parking lot. "We think it might be challenging to ask people to not park in a section specifically designed for parking each week, because a great deal of people use that lot," Weaver said. However, locations under consideration include 422 E. (after the building is removed), closing off a section of street off Main Street, which would allow for continued growth of the event, Third Street (on either side of Main Street), Fifth Street on the north side of Sixth Street (on either side of Main Street), or North Broadway Avenue. It is hoped that the constructed building will facilitate development near the airport. Wednesdays. to 7 p. Mayor Ron Warpness said he feels the event will be a positive one for the city but hopes the people participating in the market will be responsible for cleanup each week after the event. "I do not think cleanup would be a problem, but I certainly hope that there wouldn't be any trash left over each week," Warpness said. A proposed ordinance No. The ordinance allows political and real estate signs to be placed in the right-of-way sections of yard in front of a person's home. "We havepeople calling us and wanting to donate food, but we are running out of space," Eckstein said. The money collected will go toward food, rent, supplies, maintenance, utilities, refrigeration equipment, fuel for collecting food supplies from local distributors and possibly storage in another location. Wyoming Rocky Mountain Food Bank would be one of the primary suppliers, along with other community stores and private donations. Currently, the food bank is located at Eckstein's house, and freezer space is limited. This is typically the section between the sidewalk and curb. Warpness addressed the issue at the work session April 10 and said he felt it was important for residents to be permitted to place signs on this piece of property that is owned by the city. Councilwoman Mary Ellen Christensen expressed concern and said that the signs might distract motorists, especially if there is a wide range of them in one area.
