Rowdy dogs and lackadaisical pet owners, time to shape up: Oak Bluffs has an animal control officer back on the job.

Anthony BenDavid was appointed to the post at the selectmen’s meeting Tuesday.

“He’s available at night, he’s available during the day,” police chief Erik Blake told the selectmen. “He couldn’t have come more highly recommended.”

Because of budget worries, the animal control officer position was cut by the town at a special election in spring 2011. This year’s budget restored the position.

The selectmen also approved a common victualler and Sunday entertainment license for Donald Muckerheide, who can now sell packaged foods at his music venue, The Pit Stop.

In other business, the selectmen clarified revised bar closing times for holiday weekends this summer. Bars will be permitted to stay open until 2 a.m., with patrons not allowed to enter after 1:30 a.m., on the Friday and Saturday prior to and after the Fourth of July, as well as on the holiday itself. Hours will also be extended on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday before Labor Day and on Labor Day.

Establishments that will benefit from the extended hours have agreed to foot the bill for extra police officers on those nights, Chief Blake said.

At the end of an otherwise uneventful meeting, several audience members raised concerns about the parking situation in town, with residents and a hotel owner in the Sea View avenue extension neighborhood saying that newly-installed angled parking creates a hazardous driving situation in the neighborhood, and that restrictions on overnight parking are unfair to residents and hotel guests.

Selectmen said the change from parallel parking to angled parking was a decision made long ago that was recently executed, and they would revisit the decision, as well as restrictions on overnight parking and resident parking stickers.
