Summary
At its March 26 meeting the Burrillville Town Council approved its consent agenda, licensed a retail liquor outlet, approved on-call consultant lists, purchased a tractor, and referred several policy reviews to committees; executive-session actions were also ratified.
Burrillville — The Burrillville Town Council on Wednesday approved a series of administrative and routine items, including the consent agenda, a retail liquor license application, an on-call consultants list, and several contracts and referrals.
The council unanimously approved the consent agenda after moving agenda item 25-015 out for separate consideration. Council members then voted on a set of discrete items: a retail Class B beer-and-wine license for OM Tobe LLC (doing business as Palace Taylor Deli and Creamery) at 16 High Street was approved provided stipulated conditions were met; a three-year on-call consultants list (RFQ 205-4) for engineering and related professional services was approved; and a purchase of a used tractor up to $6,500 from the Spring Lake H Fund (fund 0540) was authorized. The council also approved a field access and maintenance agreement with the Burrillville School Department for the athletic complex at 425 East Avenue.
Finance matters included a three-year engagement with audit firm CBIS CPAs to perform the town's annual audit (fiscal years ending 2025–2027). The council approved the DPW director’s list of consultants and a schedule for on-call rates to be used for future capital projects. The council also directed referral of two governance items — a review of attendance and reporting requirements for boards and commissions and a proposed code of conduct for boards and commissions — to the ordinance/committee process for drafting and return.
In executive-session follow-ups, the council voted to seal the minutes of the executive session and ratified a withdrawal in ongoing opioid-related litigation as discussed in closed session. All of the above motions recorded votes in open session and were adopted by voice vote; where roll-call tallies were given they were unanimous (recorded as “Aye,” with no recorded opposition).
