Selectmen to conduct a hearing on remand of charges of violation of the alcohol pouring license issued to the Santa Barbara Pub by permitting the occurrence of illegalities on the premises.

Attorney Lampke reviewed the remand decision from the ABCC with the Board, and informed the Board that the remand order required it to reconsider it’s disposition decision in light of the determination of the ABCC that only the charge of permitting the occurrence of illegalities, and not the charge of over serving, had been sustained at the appellate level.
Attorney Busconi requested the Board reconsider the previous disposition of the All Alcohol Pouring License and allow Mr. Bairos the opportunity to sell the license.
