Northfield Select Board approves liquor license renewal, warrants, loans and tax stabilization; tables outside consumption permit
Summary
The board approved Cumberland Farms' liquor license renewal, accepted the biweekly payroll and a warrant totaling $709,387.41, approved a state revolving loan and a bond anticipation note for water projects, and adopted a tax stabilization policy; an outside consumption permit for Depot Square Pizzeria was tabled for lack of details.
At its April 8 meeting, the Northfield Select Board took a series of routine and financial actions.
Licenses and permits: The board voted to approve the liquor license renewal for Cumberland Farms after a motion, a second and a voice vote. A separate request for an outside consumption permit from Depot Square Pizzeria was discussed but lacked a specified location and supporting drawings; the board tabled that request pending additional information.
Minutes and warrants: The board approved amended minutes for March 25 after correcting an attribution and approved warrant 19‑25 and 19‑25A‑C totaling $709,387.41. The board also received the biweekly payroll through March 30, 2025, totaling $116,777.82.
Loans and financing: The board approved a State Revolving Fund agreement to finance water transmission line and reservoir projects ($7,230,000 at 0% annual interest) and approved a bond anticipation note of $3,200,000 at about 4.74% annual interest to bridge invoices pending state reimbursement; town staff said draws on the line would occur only as needed for large invoices.
Policy: The board revived and approved the Northfield tax stabilization policy and application dated April 4, 2025.
No roll‑call tallies with individual member votes were read into the record in full; decisions were recorded by voice vote with the chair declaring motions approved where no objections were expressed.
Next steps: The outside consumption permit remains tabled pending a written application with a mapped location and design details; staff indicated they will gather the necessary materials and return the request to the board.
