Board reappoints James Riddle to ABC board amid questions about notice and process
Summary
James Riddle’s ABC board appointment, which expired July 31, was reappointed on the board’s motion after discussion about the appointment process and whether openings are publicly posted; local ABC board recommended the reappointment.
The board voted to reappoint James Riddle to the local ABC board after being informed his appointment expired July 31. The local ABC board and the store manager, John York, requested reappointment and the board accepted the recommendation after brief discussion.
A commissioner asked whether the town could provide earlier notice of expirations and openings on the website so residents could apply; staff said applications are accepted and can be submitted at any time. One commissioner argued for due diligence before routinely reappointing long‑serving members, and the board agreed to provide more advance notice when possible. After a motion and second, the board reappointed Riddle to the ABC board.
The transcript indicates the ABC board is a separate entity regulated by state ABC rules, and local recommendations are typically forwarded to the town for confirmation.
