Mansfield Select Board approves payroll warrants, consent agenda and change‑of‑manager
Summary
At its Sept. 4 meeting the Select Board approved the consent agenda, multiple payroll and vendor warrants totaling more than $3.6 million across town and school accounts, and voted 4–0 to approve a change‑of‑manager application for Bertucci’s pending departmental routing and ABCC approval.
The Mansfield Select Board approved routine financial and licensing items during its Sept. 4 meeting.
The board unanimously approved the consent agenda. Members then approved town payroll warrant number 25009PT in the amount of $1,304,578.05 and vendor payroll warrant 25009TV for $411,772.71. The board approved school payroll warrant 25009PS for $1,550,873.18 (with one member abstaining) and school vendor warrant 25009SV for $424,384.44.
On a separate licensing matter, the board considered a change‑of‑manager application for Bertucci’s restaurant. Applicant Luke Lopez told the board he had taken the managerial role; members expressed concern that the prior manager had left without notifying town licensing staff and noted the town’s policy requires timely notification. The board approved the change‑of‑manager application pending routing through town departments and final approval from the Massachusetts Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission.
Votes and outcomes: • Consent agenda: approved, 4–0. • Change‑of‑manager (Bertucci’s): motion to approve pending routing through town departments; Select Board vote recorded as 4–0 (ABCC final approval required). • Town payroll warrant (25009PT): approved, $1,304,578.05. • Town vendor payroll (25009TV): approved, $411,772.71. • School payroll warrant (25009PS): approved (recorded with one abstention), $1,550,873.18. • School vendor payroll (25009SV): approved, $424,384.44.
Next steps: Licensing staff will route the change‑of‑manager application to departments and submit the update to the ABCC for its final review; payroll warrants proceed to processing per town procedure.
