Council approves liquor license, appointments and tax settlements; schedules follow-ups
During its Nov. 24 meeting the Cumberland Town Council approved a set of routine but consequential items.

Liquor license: Council unanimously approved a liquor license for Social Goose Sports Pub at 319 Main Street. Co‑owner Cat (Cat Hull) told the council the new location will not extend hours beyond the Town Center District standard (9 p.m.) and will keep the Brunswick location open. Town Planner Bridget Perry advised any proposed outdoor seating would require a planning-board site-plan amendment and noted the TCD limit on seating.

Appointments and tax actions: Council appointed William Longley as an alternate electrical inspector to provide coverage while the town’s regular electrical inspector is on medical leave. The council also authorized the town manager to accept two delinquent-tax payments: $27,000 on tax map U14 Lot 008 and $4,900 on tax map R04 Lot 004; staff said payments include interest, fees and other charges and that payers presented plans to complete outstanding balances.

Enrollment study tabled: Councilors tabled a proposed cost‑sharing participation in an enrollment/growth study for MSAD 51 with North Yarmouth so representatives can refine the study’s scope and the proposed funding split. Staff recommended a further meeting of representatives to align on expected deliverables and payment responsibilities.

Next steps: staff will process the appointments and tax payments, and will schedule the inter-jurisdictional meeting about the enrollment-study scope.
