Cushing Selectboard weighs part-time IT coordinator and considers BYOB letter for local restaurant
Summary
Board members discussed hiring a part-time on-call IT coordinator and asked town staff to draft a legal letter for Uncle Al’s owner seeking permission to allow customers to bring their own alcohol; budget implications and legal authority were not specified in the minutes.
During the additions-and-changes portion of the agenda, Selectboard members reported on recent meetings with IT staff. Selectboard member Craig Currie said he and Austin Donaghy met with IT, that remaining projects should wrap up in the next couple of weeks, and that he will draft a job description for a possible part-time, on-call IT coordinator with variable hours. Currie noted uncertainty about whether the current budget can support the position.
Separately, Sam Olson, the owner of Uncle Al’s takeout, visited the town office seeking a letter from the town that would grant his business permission to allow customers to bring their own beer, wine and spirits. The selectboard asked Tyler to draft a legal letter for the board’s consideration. The minutes do not identify Tyler’s role or whether the requested BYOB permission is within the town’s authority; no timetable or vote on either the IT position or the letter was recorded.
Next steps: Craig Currie to prepare a job description for the IT coordinator and Tyler to draft the legal letter for the board to review. Budget availability and any required legal review remain open issues.
