Selectmen's Meeting /Summit 3 December 21, 2011 A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held on Monday, December 12, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. in the Selectmen Meeting Room, Town Office Building. Chairman Manz, Mr. Kelley, Mr. Cohen, Mr. Burnell and Ms. Mauger; Mr. Valente, Town Manager and Ms. Pease, Executive Clerk, were present. Public Comment Ms. Tsvetkova, 42 Lowell Street, provided the Selectmen information on affordable housing compliance calculations and requested that the Board hold a public hearing prior to building on the Busa property. Selectmen Concerns and Liaison Reports Mr. Cohen commented on the loss of two former Town employees: Mary McDonough who was the Town Clerk for many years and the recipient of the White Tricorne Hat, and Marion Snow who worked in the Selectmen and Planning Board offices and was a member of the Town Celebration Committee for many years. Both women did lots of great things for the Town and will be missed. Liquor License Issues The Selectmen discussed four businesses who have not yet complied with all the requirements to receive their liquor licenses: Ruyi Restaurant, Knights of Columbus, Waxy O'Connor, and Buca Di Beppo. Ruyi Restaurant has an exhaust hood that is not functioning properly and the manager has known of the issue since June. The Manager needs to provide the Building Department with a plan for repairing the problems before the Building Commissioner can make a recommendation to the Selectmen whether Ruyi should receive their liquor license. The Knights of Columbus, Waxy O'Connor and Buca di Beppo have inspections scheduled and will not be given their liquor licenses until the Selectmen's Office receives the approved Certificate of Inspection. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 4 -1 (Burnell opposed) to hold the Ruyi Restaurant, Knights of Columbus, Waxy O'Connor's and Buca Bi Beppo liquor licenses until they receive their Certificate of Inspection signed by the Building and Fire Departments. The Selectmen were asked how they wanted to handle the Lexington VFW who had not complied with the Selectmen's Rules and Regulations for Clubs.
