Johnsburg board grants 30-day waiver to speed liquor-license review, seeks town coverage on liquor liability
Summary
Board approved a 30-day waiver request to expedite a liquor-license application for an operator identified as Wellaway 80 ks LLC (doing business as Timber and Time Liquor) but a member insisted the town be named as additional insured on any liquor-liability policy because the premises are on town property.
The Johnsburg Town Board voted to approve a 30-day waiver to expedite a liquor license application for an operator identified in the record as "Wellaway 80 ks LLC, doing business as Timber and Time Liquor." The operator's venue would be located at Bridal, and the waiver was requested to speed the licensing process.
A board member raised a specific insurance concern because the license would be for an on-site premises liquor license on town property. "I want to really make sure that we not only get a certificate of liability insurance, but we are also named as additionally insured for a liquor liability policy," the member said, explaining that general liability typically does not cover liquor liability and that naming the town additionally insured would protect the town if an over-service incident occurred on town property.
The board discussed the request and the attorney's recommendation and voted in favor of approving the 30-day waiver. Members asked the town attorney and clerk to ensure the town is named as additional insured or otherwise receive a certificate addressing liquor liability before final license issuance.
