Eyota American Legion fined for alcohol compliance violation

At the regular meeting of the Eyota City Council, The Eyota American Legion was fined $250 for serving alcohol to a minor in April. It was the first offense in the last 24 months for the American Legion. The American Legion Post Commander Russ Hammel said it shouldn’t happen but it was a very busy night. A second violation would be a $500 fine and third offense within 24 months would be a $1,000 fine and possible loss of their liquor license. The Olmsted County Sheriff’s Office offers ID training for people who serve alcohol and all servers go through the training when it is available.
The city council approved an additional $35,000 for the South Avenue road project. The additional cost is to add curb and gutter between Sixth Street and Eighth Street. Total cost to the city will be $207,000. All but $7,000 has been budgeted. The balance will come out of the reserve fund.
The city council is concerned with the timeline for the The Safe Routes to School project scheduled for this summer in Eyota. The project includes 4.5 blocks of new sidewalk, extension of pathways on Knowledge Road and West Side Park to Second Street and it includes handicap accessible ramps. The city has no control of the timing of the project and is concerned it will be completed at a time that will affect the start of the school year. “We don’t want to make it more dangerous for the people we are trying to make safer,” said Mayor Tyrel Clark. Safe Routes to School is a program administered by the Federal Highway Administration to improve safety for kids walking and bicycling to school and to encourage families to travel to school in that manner. Eyota received a grant for $355,950.
