North Smithfield council approves solicitation license for Trinity Solar applicant
Summary
The council voted to approve a solicitation license for Thomas Pollock doing business as Trinity Solar for solar and roofing sales and installation; at least four council members voted yes and one member’s recorded vote was a no.
At the Feb. 3 North Smithfield Town Council meeting, the council, sitting as the Board of Licensing, considered an application by Thomas Pollock for a solicitation license to sell and install solar and roofing under the trade name Trinity Solar.
The clerk confirmed the application was in order. A council member moved to approve the license and a second was recorded. The council conducted a roll-call vote. Recorded votes in the supplied transcript were: Mr. Buragod — yes; Mr. Costafaro — yes; Claire O’Hara — recorded as a no; Mr. Panchak — yes; Miss Alves — yes. The council approved the license by roll call.
The application as discussed listed Joel Collins and Lance Carmack on the application; the cover letter referenced Joel Collins. The clerk and council members clarified the application referenced two individuals.
Why it matters: Solicitation licenses allow companies and agents to solicit door-to-door sales and services in town; council approval authorizes the applicant to operate under local licensing rules. The council’s roll-call approval was entered into the record during the licensing item.
What the transcript shows: The licensing item was introduced by the clerk, a motion to approve was made and seconded, and the roll call produced the recorded responses above. No conditions or further discussion about the applicant’s qualifications are recorded in the provided excerpt.
