Lakeville Select Board approves 2026 license renewals, appoints tobacco agent and outreach volunteer
Summary
The Lakeville Select Board on Dec. 2 approved intermunicipal animal-shelter contracts and multiple 2026 license renewals for liquor, vehicle dealers and food establishments; it also appointed a tobacco agent and a member to the communications outreach subcommittee.
The Lakeville Select Board voted Tuesday to approve a package of routine contracts and license renewals covering animal shelter services, liquor and food-service operations, vehicle-dealer registrations and specialized entertainment permits, and appointed a town tobacco agent and a communications subcommittee volunteer.
The board unanimously moved to approve the 2026 animal-shelter contracts that extend services to neighboring communities through Dec. 31, 2026. A member said the contract renewals allow Lakeville to “support them with our excellent animal shelter” while receiving compensation for the town.
Members then processed a slate of liquor-license renewals for 2026 — including package-store wine-and-malt, package-store all-alcohol, restaurant all-alcohol and on-premise licenses — each approval contingent on payment of outstanding taxes and filing of required documentation with the Select Board office. The roll-call votes recorded those motions as passing.
The board approved renewals of Class 1 and Class 2 motor-vehicle dealer licenses (new and used vehicle sales) and a list of common victualler (food-service) licenses to expire Dec. 31, 2026, all contingent on outstanding-tax clearance and paperwork. A member asked that the chief’s letter regarding safety or capacity be reflected where relevant; the chair confirmed the contingency language would be applied.
Specialized permits — including weekday dancing, delivery/transportation, coin-operated amusements and public-entertainment permissions for several clubs and golf facilities — also were approved under the same tax-and-documentation contingencies.
On appointments, the board voted to appoint Megan DeCosta as the town’s tobacco agent for a one-year term from Dec. 1, 2025, to Nov. 30, 2026; members said the position carries a grant-funded stipend tied to the historic tobacco-settlement funding. The board also appointed a volunteer (letter from Noel/Nicole Rouleau) to the communications and community outreach subcommittee through July 31, 2026.
The board closed the business items and moved on to other agenda topics. All approvals recorded roll-call votes during the meeting packet review and were entered on the record.
