Mount Desert board approves Asticou Hotel permits, several routine motions and purchases
Summary
The Mount Desert Select Board approved a new liquor license and special amusement permit for the Asticou Hotel, accepted routine resignations and appointments, and approved multiple procurement and budget items in a meeting where the auditor reported a clean opinion on the town's financial statements.
The Mount Desert Select Board voted to approve a new liquor license and a special amusement permit for PBD Northeast LLC, doing business as The Asticou Hotel at 15 Peabody Drive in Northeast Harbor. The public hearings were held together and, after a brief question about listed hours, the board closed the hearings and approved both permits.
The board also completed several consent-agenda and routine matters. It accepted the resignation of Nikki Moser from the Economic Development Committee and approved the appointment of Alexis Motta as a full-time Mount Desert patrol officer at a starting hourly rate of $31.20 with a scheduled increase after six months. The board approved renewal of the Colonel's Restaurant liquor license and granted special-event permission for Island Readers and Writers Story Time on July 16 and Aug. 13, 2026, at Northeast Harbor Village Green.
Several procurement and administrative actions were approved: acceptance of a seasonal portable-toilet services bid from MDI Port-a-Potties and Septic Services LLC ($9,200 plus $75 per additional pumping), approval of a Scag Tiger Cat II mower purchase from Brad Street Lawn and Garden ($14,881) from the Public Works Equipment Reserve, and acceptance of Edenbrook Road and Timber Ridge Road as public roads pending counsel certification of title insurance. The board also accepted a conditional gift of $3,190 from the Northeast Harbor Ambulance Service Association to the Mount Desert Fire Department and authorized the town manager to sign an agreement and general release with CDC Holding Corporation for final fire-department training use of a building prior to demolition.
Votes on these motions were recorded during the meeting as "moved," "seconded" and "all in favor." No contested votes or recorded roll-call tallies with member names were provided in the transcript.
The meeting concluded after routine warrant and payroll approvals.
