To deny the request of Dinesh Kumar Patel to approve an additional All Alcohol Package Goods Store Liquor License to be assigned to DJ's Country Store; and not to support the process required to obtain said additional license
Yes: Kowalski, LaMattina, LambiaseNo: Bezanson, Salvucci
From the minutes
“Mr. Lambiase MOVED to deny the request of Dinesh Kumar Patel to approve an additional All Alcohol Package Goods Store Liquor License to be assigned to DJ's Country Store; and not to support the process required to obtain said additional license. Second Mr. Bezanson for discussion. Mr. Lambiase stated that he feels the guidelines regarding the number of licenses available are put in place for a reason. If the population increases and an additional license becomes available, it should be on a first come, first serve basis. Mr. LaMattina agreed. Mr. Bezanson reminded the Board of discussions held regarding retail marijuana where the decision was ultimately made to let the people decide. Mr. Lambiase stated that if this request is approved, it will open the door for others who hold a beer and wine license to come and ask for an all alcohol license. Chairman Kowalski agreed and asked for a vote in connection with the motion on the floor. So voted 3-2. (Mr. Salvucci and Mr. Bezanson voted against denying the request of Mr. Patel).” (Motion: Lambiase, second: Bezanson)
