Williston City Commission Meeting Recap: Key Updates for Residents
T
he Williston City Commission gathered on Feb. 25 to discuss important city matters, from infrastructure projects to business developments. Here is what residents need to know. City Projects and Improvements The commission approved several bids for construction and maintenance projects throughout the city. The 2025 Seal Coat Project was awarded to Astech for $209,440.40, ensuring smoother roads on East Broadway and other key areas. The 2025 Striping Proj-
ect, which will repaint road markings for improved safety, went to Traffic Safety Services for $74,470.50. Additionally, a contract for sidewalk repairs was granted to Jaramillo Concrete for $161,012.50, helping maintain safe walkways for pedestrians. Updates on Business and Development As Williston continues to grow two Flex PACE applications were approved to help local businesses. JAK Rental Holdings and Shift Services will receive funding to expand their operations, supporting eco-
nomic development in the area. In zoning news, the commission set a public hearing for March 25 to discuss a proposed change from commercial to residential zoning for a property at 1402 West Broadway. This move could provide more housing options for residents. Public Safety Enhancements The police and fire departments received funding approvals for key purchases. The police department secured a contract with Motorola WatchGuard for emergency equipment upgrades, while the City committed resources to support Care
Flight air ambulance services. The ambulance program will be partially funded through Williston’s Star Fund Sales Tax, ensuring continued emergency medical services for the region. Additionally, Code Red Towing was awarded the city’s towing contract, while Stevens Auctioneer Service will handle city auctions. Changes to Liquor Laws A key discussion focused on Ordinance 1157, which aims to amend Williston’s liquor license regulations. If passed, it will allow local wineries to sell not only their own wine but also
other legally approved wines for off-site consumption. The proposed change supports local businesses while having little impact on existing liquor stores. Looking Ahead Residents can stay informed and participate in future discussions by attending city meetings, held both in person at City Hall and virtually via GoToMeeting. The next meeting is scheduled for March 11. For more information, visit City of Williston’s website.
