The Worcester Board of License Commissioners convened on July 16, 2025, to address administrative matters and review applications for liquor licenses. The meeting began with a motion to approve the minutes from the previous meeting held on June 18, 2025, which was seconded and passed without any administrative issues to discuss.

The board then prepared for their next hearing scheduled for 1:05 PM. A discussion ensued regarding the upcoming meeting on August 20, which is anticipated to be lengthy due to a significant number of violations and applications. One board member indicated that they would be receiving reports on 11 violations from the Ocean City Police Department (OCPD) later that day. The board discussed the possibility of starting the August meeting earlier than usual to accommodate the expected workload, settling on a start time of 9 AM.

The board also noted that they would prioritize new applications and transfer applications before addressing the violations. It was mentioned that there could be up to seven new applications, depending on whether they met the submission deadline.

At 1:05 PM, the board began the hearing for a Class B beer, wine, and liquor 7-day license for a new establishment named Hang 10, located at 104 West Green Street, Snow Hill, Maryland. The applicants, Julie Wallace and Robert Dornes, provided their details and confirmed their understanding of the responsibilities associated with holding a liquor license, including compliance with laws regarding service to minors. They also indicated that they would ensure all servers are trained and certified in responsible alcohol service.

The meeting concluded with the board's commitment to review the violations and applications thoroughly in preparation for the next session, emphasizing the importance of maintaining compliance and community standards.
