Summary

Councilor James Devine’s request for a one-day liquor license for the Shea Park (Copeland Street) tree-lighting on Dec. 14 was approved; the board heard event details including Santa’s arrival and hot chocolate and voted unanimously by voice vote in the transcript.

The Quincy City Board of Commissioners approved a one-day liquor license for the annual Shea Park tree-lighting at Copeland Street set for Dec. 14. Councilor James Devine, speaking on the request, said the event typically runs in the late afternoon and features children performing the tree lighting and Santa arriving on a fire engine; he noted hot chocolate will be served.

“Constance Devine has requested a permit for me, so he's not here so I'm here on behalf of him,” Councilor James Devine said while describing the plans. The board asked for any concerns; none were raised. A motion to approve the one-day license was made, seconded and the board voted 'Aye.'

The approval allows organized alcohol service tied to the community tree-lighting; the transcript does not record a roll-call tally or specific operational conditions beyond the time window discussed.
