A. Change of date for Fourth of July Fireworks display.

Discussion ensued re: the date for the fireworks.
Selectman Fernandes-Abbott stated that Mr. Corbitt had not indicated to the Board that Marion & one other town were partial to holding their fireworks on 7/1/06. There was also a financial concern w/ holding the fireworks on the actual Fourth of July due to there may not be enough donations on that evening to pay for the fireworks. The July 1 date being a Saturday will help with collections, and since the next day is a Sunday people won’t have to go to work.
Selectman Pillsbury stated she is willing to change the fireworks date to 7/1/06. Selectman Fernandes-Abbott concurred. Selectman Eckstrom feels that 7/3/06 is a good date so that people have the next day off.

Chairman Sauvageau read the proposed articles into the record (attached as referenced).
Discussion ensued re: what the Board is being asked to do relative to the articles. Selectman Pillsbury stated that the Board usually votes on zoning articles after the Planning Board has held their hearing on the articles. She indicated that the Board could vote now to place these articles on the Warrant. Discussion ensued. Selectman Fernandes-Abbott feels these articles are just for informational purposes at this time.
The Board members concurred to table this issue until their next meeting.
D. Vote new language for five Liquor Licenses.
The Administrator updated the Board on the latest information he has received relative to this matter from Representative Williams-Gifford. He indicated that Representative Williams-Gifford recommends that the Board stay w/ their original request of five licenses (which would be for new establishments). Along w/ this recommendation, Representative Williams-Gifford has recommended that the Board vote the designation of these five licenses which can be very broad in terms of location, for example, designate the five licenses to the West Wareham Strategic Planning area, the new plaza, etc. Instead of identifying areas specifically, the Board can offer a general area. He added that additional requests for licenses would require an article on the Warrant & a vote of Town Meeting. He stated that the
recommendation for the five original licenses were meant to be economic development licenses, thus Representative Williams-Gifford feels the Board should move forward on these.
Discussion ensued re: how large the West Wareham Strategic Planning area’s boundaries are. Selectman Fernandes-Abbott feels the Board should include where these boundaries are.
The Board members proceeded to look at the areas encompassed in the updated language for the petitioned licenses.

E. Discussion – Petition to expand the request for Year Round All Alcoholic Licenses.
Chairman Sauvageau stated the intent is to seek potentially ten more licenses.
Selectman Fernandes-Abbott felt there was going to be a study conducted to see what the amount of licenses to request should be. The Administrator stated a quick count was conducted & the number came up at 9 for present & future anticipated needs. Selectman Eckstrom feels this number is a lot. Selectman Pillsbury feels there is a need to include & consider existing businesses that have requested a year round license. She does not feel 10 additional licenses would be enough.
Selectman Fernandes-Abbott asked if seasonal license holders were included in this count. The Administrator stated “no.” Selectman Fernandes-Abbott feels that other establishments (such as the seasonal ones) should be considered as well. Selectman Pillsbury stated an issue may be that an establishment has a seasonal license now because they are not a viable business year round, but as the Town grows, they may need one in the future.
Chairman Sauvageau suggested petitioning for 10 licenses & then petition again if the need arises. Selectman Eckstrom feels the petition should handle all the needed licenses at once. The Administrator suggested petitioning 15 licenses for granting over the next few years.
Selectman Fernandes-Abbott explained the timeframe is closing & the Board does not have all the information needed. Chairman Sauvageau concurred.
Selectman Pillsbury stated the new plaza will require more than 3 licenses & the theatre complex has 3 more restaurant pads. The Administrator indicated that the theatre complex has requested 2 licenses. Selectman Pillsbury feels existing businesses should be considered.
Chairman Sauvageau suggested establishing a number of licenses now & then pursuing more licenses when we have more information. He feels the issue is more about economic growth. Discussion continued re: number of licenses to request.
Selectman Fernandes-Abbott asked if the ABCC had the ability to step in & overshadow the legislature concerning the license petitions/requests. The Administrator does not see the ABCC doing so.
MOTION: Selectman Pillsbury moved the Board request an additional 15 liquor licenses for a vote at the Annual Town Meeting. Selectman Fernandes-Abbott seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous (4-0-0)
F. Discussion – Bike Path Committee applicants.
Selectman Fernandes-Abbott stated there are four applications for this committee & all the applicants are currently participants in the ad hoc committee. There is a need to draw up appointment papers. Chairman Sauvageau stated he would direct Ms. Ford to do so for the next meeting.
G. Discussion – PEG Access Corporation.
Chairman Sauvageau stated that either a sub-committee of the Board or the Board could interview candidates directly. He feels interviews are warranted & should be moved along now that the legal documents are in hand.
Chairman Sauvageau asked the Board’s permission to have official notification drafted, which highlights the duties & responsibilities & from then set up interviews. The Board members concurred.
Selectman Fernandes-Abbott feels that the Superintendent of Schools or school representatives be invited to the interviews.
H. Any other business.
(NONE)
IX. SELECTMEN’S REPORTS
A. Selectman Pillsbury – Expressed concern re: signs on poles are growing especially on the corner of Marion Rd. & High St. She would like them removed & the phone numbers on the signs be called.
Chairman Sauvageau suggested speaking to town counsel to see if the town could be compensated for services the town provides to remove the signs. The Board concurred and asked the administrator to contact town counsel to look into this matter.
