Tremont Select Board approves warrants, renews liquor license and adds regular regional-collaboration item
Summary
At its June 2 meeting the board approved FY25 warrants totaling several line items, approved Thurston’s Lobster Pound liquor license renewal, added 'Regional Collaboration' as a monthly standing agenda item, confirmed its June 16 meeting, and adjourned at 6:32 p.m.
The Tremont Select Board on June 2 approved routine financial and administrative items, including FY25 warrants, a liquor license renewal, and the addition of a standing agenda item for regional collaboration.
Minutes record a motion by Kevin Buck, seconded by McKenzie Jewett, to approve FY25 warrants #124–#128 (amounts: $15,318.02; $13,816.12; $15,349.08; $5,536.06; and $133,768.50). The motion passed 3–0–1, with Select Board member Eric Eaton abstaining. In the same tally pattern, the board approved the minutes of May 19, 2025 (motion by Buck, seconded by Jewett), which passed 3–0–1 with Eaton abstaining.
The board unanimously approved an on‑premises restaurant liquor license application for Thurston’s Lobster Pound at 9 Thurston Road, Bernard, Maine 04612 (motion by McKenzie Jewett, seconded by Kevin Buck). The board also unanimously requested the Town Manager add 'Regional Collaboration' as a standing agenda item on the first agenda of each month (motion by Kevin Buck, seconded by McKenzie Jewett).
Town Manager Jesse Dunbar gave a verbal report summarizing town employees’ activities since the last meeting; the minutes provide no further detail. The board confirmed its next regular meeting for Monday, June 16, 2025, at 5:00 p.m., and adjourned at 6:32 p.m.
Why it matters: these routine approvals keep municipal operations and permitting moving forward; the liquor license renewal preserves an existing local business’s ability to serve alcohol. The regional-collaboration agenda addition signals ongoing intergovernmental coordination will be tracked regularly.
Next steps: warrants will be processed per town finance procedures; the town clerk will publish meeting confirmations and any required notices for the liquor license and future regional-collaboration items.
