Select board approves liquor licenses, adopts winter‑road change and confirms multiple appointments
Summary
At its Dec. 11 meeting, the Sabattus select board approved liquor licenses for Mixers Night Club and Sabattus Disc Golf, adopted a change moving Level 4 road plowing to a 3–5 inch trigger, and confirmed several committee and staff appointments, including a new tax collector and budget members.
The Sabattus select board handled a batch of routine but consequential municipal actions at its Dec. 11 meeting, approving liquor licenses, adjusting winter road service levels and confirming several committee and staffing appointments.
Licenses: The board opened and closed public hearings and approved a liquor license application for Mixers Night Club and a separate liquor license for Sabattus Disc Golf after hearing from staff and brief public comment. Board members said there was no sustained opposition recorded during the hearings and the motions to approve were carried by voice vote; no roll‑call tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript.
Roads: The board adopted revised level‑of‑service guidelines for winter road maintenance after a public workshop. Under the change, roads previously classified as Level 4 will be plowed at a 3–5 inch snowfall trigger (Level 3 and 4 will now be plowed at the same 3–5 inch threshold), intended to reduce problematic berm build‑up between roads of different priority.
Appointments and personnel: The board appointed Nancy Reynolds and Stephanie Salzman to the charter committee, appointed Austin Gaines (Austin Dayton listed on motion) and Scott Durardens (budget committee) to budget/charter committees for staggered terms, and moved to appoint Holly Lehman as tax collector. The board also confirmed town manager administrative appointments (treasurer, deputy tax collector, code enforcement/building inspector roles and others) submitted by the town manager. The meeting included an introduction from Kaitlyn Blondin who said she began Dec. 1 as the new office clerk.
Other business: The board approved a CMP pole permit for a location on Lisbon Road and conditionally approved moving an American Legion sign to town property pending final placement and permitting. The treasurer reported delinquent tax collections of $7,005.18 (principal plus interest/costs) for the reporting period and the board accepted the report.
