Select Board approves pledge of license for Coconut Club in West Dennis with one abstention
Summary
The board approved an application for a pledge of license and inventory to secure a loan for the Coconut Club (33 Lighthouse Road, West Dennis). The motion passed on roll call with one abstention (Paul) and the remainder voting aye.
The Dennis Select Board voted to approve a pledge of license and inventory for the Coconut Club (doing business as West End Sandbar) at 33 Lighthouse Road, West Dennis, to allow the business to secure a loan.
Jim moved to approve the application for amendment/pledge of collateral and the motion was seconded. The motion passed on roll call, with one member abstaining and the rest voting aye; transcript shows Paul abstaining and the other members voting in favor.
Board members noted historical context that this is one of the town's older licenses (the Lighthouse Inn received the first license in 1948) and discussed that the approval is a ministerial action rather than a public hearing under ABCC rules.
Why it matters: the pledge enables the business to obtain financing while the board's action updates the town's licensing records; staff will record the pledge documentation.
