Votes at a glance: Select Board approves e-billing authorization, DoubleTree ownership filing and consent calendar
Summary
At the Select Board meeting, members authorized the treasurer‑collector to implement voluntary electronic billing, approved an administrative liquor-license filing for the DoubleTree Boston North and adopted the consent calendar.
At its September meeting the Select Board approved a handful of procedural and licensing items after public discussion or brief hearings.
The board approved a motion allowing the Treasurer‑Collector to establish voluntary electronic tax-billing (e‑billing) pursuant to MGL Chapter 60, Section 30A. Treasurer‑Collector Jill Summit told the board the program is opt‑in only and will email real‑estate and personal‑property tax bills to residents who sign up; motor‑vehicle excise bills are not included in the initial rollout. Staff said Unipay and the town’s pay‑online flows work but users should select the separate payment portal (Unipay) when prompted.
In a Chapter 138 hearing required by the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission procedure, the board approved an administrative corporate‑level change on the all‑alcohol common victualler license for Aimbridge Hospitality LLC (DoubleTree Boston North, 50 Village Drive). The board’s clerk confirmed paperwork was in order and that no local changes to the license were requested; the ABCC had directed the filing process.
The board also adopted the consent calendar as presented (routine appointments, minutes and administrative items).
Votes taken at the meeting were recorded by voice vote in the transcript; the hearing and administrative approvals will be reflected in the town clerk’s licensing records and in the meeting minutes.
