May 18, 2018 in the Selectmen’s Meeting Room of the Town Office Building. Ms. Barry, Chair;

Approve Request from AB Inns LLC, d/b/a Inn at Hastings Park to Extend Liquor License Hours
on May 19, 2018
Trisha Pérez Kennealy summarized the request from the Inn at Hastings to serve champagne
from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 19, 2018 for a special event celebrating the Royal
Wedding.
Mr. Pato expressed concern that the Selectmen’s Regulations specified that alcohol licenses are
not granted for times outside of 11:00 a.m. to midnight with the express exception of New Year’s
Eve and did not see how this request could be supported.
Mr. Valente suggested that if the Board was inclined to approving this request, that Provision 6
of the Selectmen’s Regulations be waived for this instance.
Ms. Barry asked if there would be a limited number of people attending the event to which Ms.
Kennealy replied that it would be limited to the capacity of the restaurant. Ms. Barry expressed
that she saw it as a one-time occurrence and was allowable.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, the Board of Selectmen voted 2-1 to approve in
accordance with MGL Chapter 138 Section 12 regarding the hours during which sales of
alcoholic beverages may be made by any licensee, the extension of the AB Inns LLC, d/b/a Inn
at Hastings Park liquor license hours on May 19, 2018 to include 8:00 a.m.-10:00 a.m.; and
further, to issue a waiver under the provisions in the Board of Selectmen Regulations for
Alcoholic Beverage License Applicable to Restaurants under Paragraph 2, Section 6 for
Saturday, May 19, 2018 from 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.
Adjourn
Upon motion duly made and seconded, the Board of Selectman voted 3-0 to adjourn at 9:00 a.m.
A true record; Attest:
