Roxbury selectmen split 1-1 on Bill Hilly liquor license; timeline and next steps to be reviewed
Summary
Selectmen voted 1-1 on a motion to deny Bill Hilly’s liquor license after outstanding questions from a public hearing remained. The board agreed to research the timeline and options for a decision with a limited membership.
The Roxbury Board of Selectmen considered Bill Hilly's application for a municipal liquor license and voted 1-1 on a motion to deny. Selectman Matthew Patneaude moved to deny the license and Selectman Ray Hodsdon seconded; the meeting record shows the vote as 1-1 and the board agreed to investigate the timeline and next procedural steps given the limited membership of the board.
The minutes note questions raised at the public hearing remain unresolved; the board did not finalize a denial or approval at the meeting. Selectmen directed staff to look into statutory or municipal timelines that affect how a tied vote or a stale application should be handled and to return with options for a quorum or procedural remedy.
