Lincoln council approves slate of business license renewals and a special-event permit for Saint Basil's Church
Summary
The Lincoln Town Council added and approved a Dec. 7 special-event liquor license for Saint Basil's Church and approved a large slate of business license renewals across multiple license classes, with several approvals made conditional on standard documentation (insurance, health permits, TIP).
The Lincoln Town Council on Nov. 18 added a special-event liquor license for Saint Basil's Church and approved a broad package of business license renewals and conditional approvals.
Council members voted to add the Saint Basil's Church application to the agenda under citation 42-46-6(b), then approved the application and a motion to waive the application fee. The church’s request is for a full special-event liquor license for a Saint Barbara feast celebration on Dec. 7. The item was introduced by a councilor and confirmed in the meeting packet by licensing staff.
Licensing staff then presented a lengthy slate of renewals and new licenses across multiple categories — including class A retail liquor licenses, class B and BBL licenses, victualing (restaurant) licenses, 24-hour and dance licenses, entertainment and gaming licenses, jukebox and pool-table permissions, and electrical/mechanical approvals. Council approvals were typically conditional: applicants must provide tip (server) certification, a permit from the Department of Health (where required), certificates of good standing and insurance, evidence of paid town taxes, and fire-department approval.
Examples named during the meeting included Lincoln Liquors LLC (doing business as Lincoln Liquors), Courtyard by Marriott (Buffalo Lincoln Associates LLC), Residence Inn (Brant Hospitality Group), Rhode Island Indoor Karting LLC, Kirkbray Country Club, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Starbucks, Dunkin’ Donuts, and multiple local restaurants and bars. Meeting materials contained occasional packet errors that staff corrected on the record.
Council processed the categories in sequence and approved the slate by voice vote. The Board of License Commissioners concluded its business before the council resumed the regular agenda.
The council did not announce a detailed roll-call tally for the license votes; approvals were recorded as carried by the body’s voice votes.
