Ballot Question
Shall the Board of Selectmen be granted the authority to reduce from 99 to 50 the minimum seating capacity for restaurants and function rooms for the sale therein of all alcohol beverages to be consumed on the premises?
Summary: the Board of Selectmen currently has the authority to issue up to ten licenses for the sale of all alcohol licenses to restaurants in the Town. An affirmative vote under this question would permit the Board to issue licenses to those restaurants that do not meet the minimum seat requirement for 99 patrons but do have a minimum of 50 seats. The Board believes that such a reduction will benefit smaller restaurants in Town and would enhance the dining experience of those patrons who want to consume alcoholic beverage in conjunction with their meal.
Yes (3,980)
No (1,294)
