The Shrewsbury Board of Aldermen on Feb. 25 unanimously approved the Jan. 28, 2025, regular-session minutes, granted a liquor license for St. Michael's picnic and approved an integrated building permit for Puff Paradox Vape Shop.
Alderman Ben Stark moved to approve the Jan. 28 minutes; Alderman Grant Diel seconded, and the motion was recorded as approved by all in favor. Alderperson Bette Welch moved to grant the liquor license for St. Michael's picnic; Alderperson Beth Parker seconded and the board approved the motion. A motion to approve the integrated building permit for Puff Paradox Vape Shop was made by Alderman Odenwald and seconded by Alderperson Welch and likewise recorded as approved by all in favor. The transcript records the approvals but does not provide a numerical roll-call tally.
Police Chief Lisa Vargas told the board she will present two purchase requests at the March 11 Board of Aldermen meeting: one for camera systems and another to seal cracks in the garage floor at the public safety building. No procurement details or dollar amounts were provided in the work-session record.
During the public-comment portion, resident Christi McDermott of 5125 St. Charles Place asked about the vacant Finance Director position and how the hiring process is progressing; the transcript records the question but does not record a response.
The board moved into a closed session after the public-comment period; a motion to enter and a later motion to adjourn the closed session were both made by Alderman Odenwald and seconded by Alderperson Bette Welch, each approved by all in favor. Alderman Odenwald then moved to adjourn the meeting and Alderperson Welch seconded; the motion carried by voice vote. The board set its next meeting for March 11, 2025, at 6 p.m.
