The board approved a change of assistant manager on Margarita's liquor license at 725 (address reported in record) to add Thomas J. Hanley as assistant manager. The motion passed by roll call, 5-0, after commissioners asked Hanley about his prior experience and violations history; Hanley said he had served on liquor licenses at two other locations and reported no violations.

The board also voted to table a new common victualler application for Sweetgreen Boston LLC at 1 Worcester Road, Unit 524, to the next meeting after the applicant said the representative was traveling and could not appear. The board said the postponement would cause no prejudice to the application.

Separately, the board approved its open-session meeting minutes from March 31, 2025, and later voted to adjourn. All of the listed actions passed unanimously by roll call.

Why it matters: routine personnel and procedural licensing matters keep restaurant operations legal and on record, while tabling an application preserves applicants' procedural rights when their representatives cannot attend.

Actions and votes at a glance:
- Margarita's Restaurant Group (OJuan Margarita's Restaurant), 725 (address reported): approved change of assistant manager to Thomas J. Hanley; motion moved by Commissioner Laura Medrano and seconded; roll call vote 5-0.
- Sweetgreen Boston LLC (1 Worcester Road, Unit 524): motion to table application to next meeting; seconded and approved 5-0.
- Open-session meeting minutes (03/31/2025): approved by roll call, 5-0.
- Motion to adjourn: approved by roll call, 5-0.

Speakers who spoke on these items included Tom Hanley (proposed assistant manager), Audra Shaw (licensing coordinator), and the five commissioners and chair. The board closed the meeting following the unanimous adjournment vote.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Framingham City Board of License Commissioners 4-7-25","oneSentenceSummary","At its April 7 meeting the Board of License Commissioners approved a change of assistant manager for Margarita's Restaurant, tabled a Sweetgreen common victualler application to the next meeting, approved March 31 minutes, and adjourned by unanimous votes.","taxTitle","Framingham City, Middlesex County, Massachusetts","taxId",12558,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6081122,"Board of License Commissioners approves expanded hours for Pueblito Paisa; liquor sales remain unchanged",1793,187000,1980000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2943647-883a152fb3a827f1f46e37158f4ca0a1&start=187&end=1980","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2943647-883a152fb3a827f1f46e37158f4ca0a1/thumbnail_187000.jpg","/articles/6081122/Framingham-City/Middlesex-County/Massachusetts/Board-of-License-Commissioners-approves-expanded-hours-for-Pueblito-Paisa-liquor-sales-remain-unchanged","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6081122-7f32adcceee6feb51ce501088bfb70e2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771153362&Signature=HblxbgQTACrNz6GgLp7dQyKZbRxbT~ANnL5aMiWCOtJV2zB95jFvPfzwtmT3fZ-yl8YagJnLK7Mg0lh1CY6DrFwB6unRBRHiRTVa4gkVD4Fhr2JWGsrpPyDfD7Lw86ae2PDy1QJbCdgQpNDhhXg0C2jlgRL6jiQcrQbC9XfvSR41Tmo~DlxWhXd5Jnb9g1qqoqlkAiwhyKbY1n8~afwdxJZS2v3SL4PEIZFISE8uSr2yl4xD6ujQJIom~bjdi~tFDsaWM6IC23piBrM2MFK2qkRuIYWPiQ3CpXJ3KICPCI4DDWqbCm6KsIuc2APAmsI7IolYOhXP7I-9F7CrzalWPw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of License Commissioners of the City of Framingham voted Monday to amend the common victualler license for Pueblito Paisa, 66 Hollis Street, to allow the restaurant to operate Monday through Sunday from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

The change passed by roll call, 5-0. Commissioners approved the hours \"pending payment of all taxes and fees and city department approvals,\" the board said during the meeting.

The vote does not change the restaurant's liquor license. Commissioners and city staff repeatedly told the applicants that Pueblito Paisa cannot sell alcohol during the added hours until it files and the board approves a separate amendment to its liquor license. \"Our main interest is serving in the morning,\" Tatiana Castaneda, who identified herself as a part owner and co-manager, told the board. She and co-owner Abiela Jaramillo said they plan to file for the liquor-license amendment later.

Why it matters: expanding morning and Tuesday service affects customers, employees and neighborhood oversight because the shift extends operating hours into periods when alcohol sales are typically more likely. Commissioners emphasized the need for staff training and physical controls to prevent unauthorized sales during the hours that remain outside the scope of the current liquor license.

Board members pressed the applicants on how they would prevent alcohol sales between 9 p.m. and midnight if the board later approved expanded liquor hours. Commissioner Shannon McCullough asked whether the restaurant would separate alcohol sales from food service and whether employees would be trained. Audra Shaw, licensing coordinator, and Lieutenant McCarthy (police) recommended that any alcohol on site be secured or covered during the interim hours when the restaurant would be open but not permitted to sell alcohol.

The board record shows the applicants presently hold a beer-and-wine license; the owners said they may later seek an all-alcohol license to permit cocktails and canned mixed drinks. Commissioners noted that converting to a full liquor license is a separate process and may take longer to review.

Motion and vote: Commissioner Shannon McCullough moved to amend the common victualler application for Pueblito Paisa at 66 Hollis Street to Monday through Sunday, 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., pending payment of taxes, fees and department approvals; Commissioner Joseph Sterniolo seconded. The roll call vote was: McCullough, aye; Sterniolo, aye; Alicia DeAngelis, aye; Laura Medrano, aye; Chair Stuart Pology, aye. The motion passed unanimously, 5-0.

The board advised the applicants to complete the separate liquor-license amendment soon and to train servers to avoid unpermitted alcohol sales during the interim expanded hours. The board said it expects to see the owners return when they file the liquor-license application.","Framingham's Board of License Commissioners voted 5-0 to amend the common victualler license for Pueblito Paisa at 66 Hollis Street to allow operation Monday'Sunday from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.; the restaurant may not serve alcohol during those added hours until a separate liquor-license amendment is approved.","actionData","errors"]
