Foxborough Select Board approves routine licenses, appointments and pay‑plan updates

The Foxborough Select Board approved a slate of routine licenses, appointments, donations and personnel items at its June 9 meeting.

In licensing matters the board approved an alteration of premises application for B Hoppy Brewing LLC (doing business as Wormtown Brewery) at 250 Patriot Place after attorney Tyler Hensler and general manager Sam Hendler said the renovation adds a lockable outdoor service window without changing capacity or the building footprint. "We coordinated with Katie and we filed this," Hensler told the board, noting the filing was made out of an abundance of caution to update the floor plan for the ABCC.

The board also approved a change of LLC managers, change of ownership interest, and a pledge‑of‑license application for SV Patriot Place LLC (Splitzville/Howl at the Moon) at 220 Patriot Place. Owner Paul Holian described a corporate buyout that keeps long‑time management in place; attorney Ryan Gazda said the license is pledged to Cambridge Savings Bank as collateral for a loan used in the buyout but noted the node‑specific license must remain tied to a Patriot Place location.

Personnel and pay items approved included the FY27 non‑union managerial pay plan (the board selected the version labeled the 'pink plan' with proposed new changes) and the FY27 seasonal/part‑time pay plan, which includes a 2.5% cost‑of‑living adjustment and a shift to per‑inspection pay for certain inspector roles (e.g., $45 per inspection certified in the record).

The board cleared multiple routine event and business licenses: renewals of FY27 commercial parking licenses at Patriot Place, a common victualler and entertainment license for Phoenix Theaters at Patriot Place, a movie theater license for that location, and a change‑of‑hours application for Olive Garden to allow alcohol service starting at 10 a.m. on Sundays for some Patriots home‑game days. The board also approved a use‑of‑public‑way permit for the Hawk Area YMCA 2026 "Spear Family Kindness for Kids" 5K and one‑day beer/wine licenses for Normandy Farms Campground events.

Appointments and donations approved included several committee appointments with terms specified in the record and donations to local programs (for example, a $1,000 donation from Daniel J. Lynch and Ellaner L. Grant). The board authorized execution of a purchase and sale agreement for 76 North High Street and approved Select Board minutes from May 26, 2026.

Where discussion was minimal the board generally moved, seconded and voted in favor; the transcript records the motions and approvals in sequence as routine action items.
