you just go see mr. Berger.
you good to go.
>> thank you so much.
bigger board administrative
hearings for flip side come on
our shore drive and mr. Frost.
thank you.
chair.
as it was explained earlier,
this committee had to undertake
sales in less than a two year
period.
the city ordinance requires
that by a certain eight they
file a remedial plan which
is to lay out how they are
going to fix the issue that
caused the under h sale and to
pay their fine.
there's a deadline to do both.
it is my understanding that
this committee did neither.
the ordinance automatically
says that if they are late
automatically the law
department files a non
compliance complaint.
the law department has done so
as referenced at the beginning
of the meeting.
nevertheless the permit is here
tonight to explain the
situation and answer any
questions that the members
of the beer board may have at
the end of the explanation and
question and answer time it'll
be up to the members of the
beer board to accept the
explanation and take no further
action or if the beer board
determines that further action
is needed, there needs to be a
motion second and passing to
refer the permit the to the
hearing officer.
yes, I sincerely apologize when
I met with officer pressley at
excuse me I need your name and
address for mr. Nelson one
twenty four south north shore
drive.
>> thank you.
I believe when I met with
officer pressley about this
incident at task class and I I
misunderstood the instructions
and apparently did not get the
mail at my address either.
we are taking this very
seriously and I I apologize for
wasting your time.
we are 100 percent behind this
and taking very seriously I
complete misunderstanding on my
part.
I have any questions for him.
I just want to confirm that
everything that was supposed to
be done by this certain date
has been done.
the committee has paid the fine
as of yesterday and filed a
revised remedial plan that has
happened.
it's a copy that's in front
of your seats.
ok, so um, mr. Frost, if he
went to a hearing office, if it
went to a hearing, he would
have to produce nothing more
than he has already produced,
correct.
>> well, let me pass that a
little closer.
yeah.
tell me is already going to a
hearing but they didn't comply
with getting things done in a
timely matter that's happening
no matter what you all decide
tonight.
but if he if you all refer him
onto the hearing officer for
the underage sale, which
is what is before you tonight,
then you would then he would
also have to explain a
situation there to a hearing
officer.
thank you.
>> I'm sorry I did pay my fines
to the state and I want to make
this very clear that by no
means did I intend to lapse on
this.
I I just made a mistake and I
apologize wholeheartedly.
we have every intention to take
care of this.
I have id scanners.
I've talked to my entire staff.
we're taking this very
seriously.
I wholeheartedly apologize.
yeah.
I mean I just want to make this
comment.
I've actually been to union
jacks establishment.
I think it's a great
establishment friendly
environment.
this is no my first time up
here on the board and I'm a
firm believer in giving people
that opportunity to make things
right.
and so I just you you being a
man of your word, I want to
give you that opportunity.
thank you.
so I just wanted to make that a
note.
thank you very much.
>> yeah, I'll I'll agree but
you know, you do have a couple
of strikes against you so you
know, obviously you know, you
do take it seriously and clean
up the process because and when
you are asked to provide the
information part of the reason
you ask to provide it a timely
manner so that we have a chance
to review it prior to this
meeting.
so but that being said, I agree
with councilman grant and
everyone so I've read the
report of course listen to your
testimony so I do not intend to
make a motion to send them to
the hearing office for further
action.
councilman parker?
um, no, I didn't have anything
on this item.
oh, okay.
well I was ok.
um I've been for a while there
were so I guess you know do I
formally make a motion to
approve because we do not make
a motion to basically yeah.
what did you do that to people.
>> I'm kidding.
I'm supposed to rule this day
that's what I'm just quoted
from up here.
yeah.
so we're not taking no action
so it's a good thing for you
know, wonderful.
thank you very much.
>> I appreciate your time.
yeah.
I just have a question for
clarity because uh council
frost said that they're going
to a hearing regardless and
then um councilman honeycut
just said he was not referring
them to a hearing so so they
are going to a hearing because
they failed to comply with the
timeline for the remedial plan
and the fine uh, there was the
opportunity this is probably
not the best legal terminology
for a double dip at the hearing
if you all did not like what
this gentleman had to say or if
the situation was very
egregious.
so what would have happened had
you all sent it to the hearing
officer they would have amended
their noncompliance law, would
have amended the noncompliance
complaint to add the underage
sale issue.
but if you all take no action,
it will only be heard in terms
of not doing things in a timely
manner.
ok, thanks for clarifying your
could we make sure that we give
a good address on file because
they're probably going to send
some more certified mail to
certainly yeah.
so make sure you're getting
everything.
yeah, I just also want
everybody to know there was
another part to this y'all saw
where he was or where his
business was issued a citation
about cas he took care of that
immediately.
>> as soon as they were issued
that citation he came to class
like the next week and took
care of that.
so that was that's null and
void issues.
did I actually had that taken
care of in court?
they didn't have to appear on
that.
so he was very timely about
that.
but we want to make sure that
mr. Byrd and with mr. Johnson
here and everybody that we've
got a good address that we can
get that I do need to change my
mailing address because that
is not my main office.
so that's I think that's a big
reason why I haven't been
receiving mail to take care
of all the you to provide the
address now know ok I'm sorry.
thank you.
I can email you the new
certified address form and and
thank mark.
yes thank you very much.
ok you're good to go.
all right thank you.
I appreciate your time.
thank you.
I'd like that sheriff amelia
parker.
miss parker.
yeah yes.
now you have your love for rim.
yes well it's really for I
guess maybe the end of the
meeting I turned it on wanting
to hear more about haulover but
we went through that section so
I was hoping maybe at the end
of the meeting we could get an
update on holyrood since
holyrood was still in the
house.
we can do oh, he's still here.
we can do that.
absolutely amazing.
>> thank you.
>> so the only thing left we
have is the castle some plants
and I will go back and also
track what was back in this
what the french knoxville track
and field.
oh, here we go.
she's I respect your name and
address the record jessica meet
its p.o. Box five to two six
six knoxville, tennessee three
seven nine five zero.
thank you of cypress no record
mr. Burton is complete move to
approve a olivola post.
>> you're good to go too.
thank you.
thank you so much.
now welcome to the cast.
>> it's your lucky day mr.
frost.
so how you can explain this
explain all the catholic stuff
please sir.
all right.
>> so where was the billboard
we're under item twelve of your
agenda.
other business hearings on
permits compliance with cast
class requirements as called
for in the beer code.
you know when new people new
permits are getting their
permits, they have to go
through the task class that's
noted in the paperwork and mr.
byrd will say if they've done
that or not.
but there's also a requirement
that a person on the permit
must do that on an annual basis
.
and thanks to the audit
committee and bobrowski rider
and the city internal auditor
and officer pressley, they
looked at and we have a number
of committees that have not
been complying with their
annual task class requirement.
so before she left office we're
board chair rider sent out a
letter to the people that were
the most delinquent and if they
hadn't gotten their class up
today they were to have been at
the february beer board
meeting.
>> but the good news was all
of those permits did get the
task class taken care of and so
that was not on your february
agenda.
unfortunately, you know,
there's a list of people that
are on the agenda for tonight
because they are out
of compliance with the annual
requirement.
officer pressley will tell you
that the class is given out
probably 50 times a year every
thursday.
all of the people not in
compliance received a letter
mr. Johnson provide me a copy
of letters that went out on
january 28th.
explain the situation and about
how they need to come into
compliance and then if they did
not come into compliance, a
second letter I believe was
hand delivered that was dated
march 12th and if those
businesses have not come into
compliance, they're supposed to
be here tonight where they need
to be able to explain why they
have not gotten this done and
however many years officer
pressley might have that have
that information to share and
the reason they're out
of compliance, they you know,
you all could decide to send
them to a hearing officer to
help get them back into
compliance and there could be
fines associated with that.
so I have a question.
yes, ma'am.
so if people are out
of compliance, are they in
effect operating without a
permit?
I don't know.
that would be a determination
for the law department.
I don't make those decisions
right.
so that was my question.
so it's like if they go to a
hearing is that what they
determine?
>> thank you for that just
fine.
thank you.
know, that could be a
suspension or revocation
of their beer permit.
>> ok, we wouldn't necessarily
do that.
>> no to the it's done by
hearing officer good.
thank you councilman parker's
that well I do remember
discussion perhaps at the audit
committee or perhaps previously
your board meeting about um
their annual process for
renewing their permit.
they have to pay a fee every
year or something like that.
and there was we were wondering
when they go through that
process why they couldn't check
to see if they had taken the
class at that point and that
seemed to be, uh, not a good
not a process that we could
move forward with.
um, so it seems like they're
able to continue to operate
under that permit and and
believe that their permit uh,
is still good even if they
haven't taken the class.
I understand what you're
saying.
uh, council member parker but
the uh there as a permit holder
your charged with being
responsible for knowing the law
that applies to the running
of your business, whether it's
a beer permit or another
situation in my opinion the
current board chair and the
former board chair gave plenty
of notice encouraging these
places to come up into
compliance and with two
different letters and for
whatever reason they did not.
if they're here tonight, they
have the opportunity to try to
explain the the circumstances
and I recommended a certain
action.
well, uh, no, I'm not uh I
think you you could depending
on what you hear from people
you could take no further
action or you could send them
to a hearing officer for a
suspension revocation hearing.
I would anticipate that if
someone is sent to suspension
revocation hearing there's a
pretty good chance they'll go
to the task class real soon to
try to avoid the situation just
like the gentleman that was
here from union jacks.
ok, quality restaurant concepts
doing business applebee's.
there you go.
yeah, my name is jared hixson.
twenty nine twelve knoxville
center drive.
>> thank you.
officer pressley, can you give
us uh yes I can tell you that
this business has not attended
since april 13th of two
thousand twenty three so that
would mean that I would have
expired in the following year
april 13th of two thousand
twenty four I have sent them
letters from my office.
I have actually personally
served some one myself out
there with a letter prior to
this process starting to try to
encourage them to come.
but we've not had anybody come
to attend.
we've been unsuccessful with
that.
um, I I'm I'm move we send this
person to a hearing officer
second ok.
excuse me go ahead.
>> give us an explanation
please.
midway through the year of two
thousand twenty four human
resources came in and either
fired or transferred three out
of the four managers frommeyer
restaurant.
so I was left to run my
business by myself and due to
time management wasn't able to
make it to the class.
ok I still move that this go to
a hearing officer I'll second
that in discussion.
I do have a question is he
already enrolled for the test
class?
have you already enrolled for
the two years previous?
I kept up with it, yes sir.
ok, so two years ok thank you
sir.
any further discussion what two
years sorry for twenty one in
twenty two correct up to
twenty three twenty four three
years ago when mr. For
twenty four and twenty five and
have gotten letters and served
and haven't been able to find
the time to go so I think that
deserves letting a hearing
officer decide what to do
rather than us.
>> I think councilman grant was
trying to ask is are you
already listed on the beer
permit someone who can actually
attend the class or do you need
to go through the process
getting listed on the permit?
no, ma'am.
I'm already on your are you on
there?
you're fine.
thank you.
well, I'll add a distinction
that the person taking the task
class has to already be on a
beer permit.
so I mean I if I'm for example
if I'm not on the beer permit
for you whatever not watsons it
doesn't matter if I take the
task class that doesn't count
everything.
ok, kathleen parker um for me
since this is a new uh process
a new attempt to ensure
businesses are complying with,
you know, long established
policies, um, for me it would
be reasonable once the letters
are sent out uh and they appear
on our agenda if they attend
this meeting.
this is our opportunity to hear
from them.
um, and at that point reiterate
that the annual task class
is is um must be complied with
and then if that is not
complied with once they appear
on our agenda then we send them
to a hearing.
but I do like the opportunity
for individuals to come
forward, explain why they
haven't complied us to be able
to have a conversation
emphasized the importance that
they do comply and then at that
point if they don't send them
to a revocation hearing that
would be my suggestions and
acknowledging that we are after
many, many years of having this
policy in place, we are now
taking steps to ensure that the
policy is followed.
>> maybe we can take a few
steps before sending folks to
revocation hearing.
we have a motion on the floor
and a second I'm going to speak
to my motion.
ok, go ahead.
so um, the reason I made my
motion is I don't think is due
to a lack of trying on people
to get people into compliance
and if this had just been
missing for one year maybe but
this is missing it two full
years and here we are it's
twenty twenty six.
so I just respectfully disagree
and I intend to vote in favor
of sending this to a hearing
because I think until we start
holding people accountable um
we're going to continue to deal
with this.
yeah I mean I agree officer
pressley says she made a number
of attempts they use mail.
she went out there physically
herself.
I don't think this is an attack
on this gentleman.
I think it had actually caused
him to say, you know what, let
me go ahead and get this test
certification so and I hope
that's how you take it.
so again, I'm going to support
vice mayor if you get on this
I'm more than happy to sit in
the class regardless of what
the outcome is.
thank you, sir.
I certainly think that it
nobody else can think ok, so
let's take a vote all in favor
of the motion I opposed.
ok, no so it will go but you
can do that caste class any
thursday before it'll be this
thursday.
>> man there you go.
>> thank you so much.
will I need to follow up with
anybody or notice on the
hearing the law department will
you will be in contact with
you.
I'll send a letter right now.
yes.
letter a letter.
ok, thank yes thank you.
dollar general on sutherland
is anybody here from dollar
general store at all?
no.
ok this morning which one is s
rexroad.
>> ok you come up when this
first talk about so we have to
get rid of it ok because I just
figured uh my name smacking
inman one ten s ridge road
three seven down to four not so
ok once I got sorry finish the
tournament because they're all
together I chance just they're
out there at the front we have
to do the far other the first
ones first I'm told that was my
bad so this is the one on
sutherland avenue and there's
no one here for that.
so mr. Frost, what we do is I
move approval.
I move to send them to a
hearing officer second second a
discussion officer
repressively.
how far out of date is this
location?
so this location is about the
same as the other it seven
twenty of twenty three when
intended they have a little bit
of what I would call kind of a
special situation and the fact
that the gentleman I spoke to
there he just became the
manager there and he is not in
the permian at this time but he
had actually attended cast
within the past year for a
business he prior worked at.
so if he would go down and get
on a permit that would be a
real simple quick resolve for
this for his business if he
just goes down and gets on the
permit we talked about it he
seemed open to do in that he
just wanted to talk with the
district manager first before
he did so I've not heard back
from him.
that was friday went served
that notice to him but I would
like to see them take here that
easily that way.
I'm sorry I'm just so confused
because by I mean these the
business owners, the people who
know about this have been
getting notified for a couple
of years and that is what
bothers me the most that the
people have been notified
is not like nobody told them
there it was time to do their
task class.
they just didn't do it and
nothing had ever happened to
them and the board has decided
to take its obligation
seriously, which is if you're
out of compliance, you're out
of compliance and there's a
consequence a rule not enforced
is not a rule.
so you know, I don't want a I
don't want to unduly punish
someone.
but if corporate headquarters
isn't paying attention, that's
my concern.
so I have a motion if you all
disagree about that, I'll say
ok, thank you and further
discussion, charlie.
yeah, I would agree and there's
like four from dollar general
and on this thing and I think
it does it's probably not as
negative toward the people that
are showing here but it's a
corporate think and I think
until we start enforcing this
is going to keep going on.
so I agree with emotion so I
don't favor the post have it so
the one sitharaman will be sent
to hear those amherst road
is the other one and I don't
think there was anybody here
either.
so nobody here looks like I'm a
one we we call it at amherst
road uh dollar general was only
one person.
all right.
I move that we send this to a
hearing officer as well.
>> so and just for you go spend
their day uh they tended the
same day to sutherland avenue
seven twenty of twenty three ok
you second that annazette thank
you.
any discussion groups all in
favor I suppose I have it that
will be sent to a hearing
officer as well.
now south ridge road we have
somebody here to talk about uh
hi my name is making inman uh
one ten south ridge road three
seven nine to four um to speak
on why my store it is basically
turnover.
I don't know if you guys go
into generals' but it's mostly
one employee and it's you try
to do the most you can in my
predicament I've been in this
store since twenty twenty four
but I just become into
management.
my district manager keeps
changing so since october we've
had a district manager that's
kind of given us guidelines on
what we're supposed to do.
I did receive a letter in
february I believe I showed up
to the class but didn't really
have much direction from my
district manager so I didn't
know that you had to do cash so
I had the card so I left.
I haven't had the opportunity
to get back in there.
I'm the only manager on duty in
my store and even today I work
till I came here so it's just
hard to get both but I have
intentions on go into the
class.
I just that's that's the reason
that location I can't speak for
the other locations but turn
over and just have and help
is the reason my location
is delayed.
I don't even know when the last
time they were there in the
class when I was uh this one
was actually five four
of twenty three.
are you listed on the permit
for this business?
have you been through
background check?
I haven't done the background
check.
I went to the city guindi
billion bailout application.
I didn't do the background.
I haven't done the fingerprints
, the background.
I literally got an application
from my district manager met me
today because she knew I was
coming here and gave me an
application to fill out and
said she was sending a bunch
of us to the class next
thursday.
but every time that I've gotten
something I've tried to go
forward with it I just in the
other direction there's really
no information being shared in
those two before.
ok, so buckmeier I think I've
met with you before at the
class and then you told me to
follow back up with yeah.
you look familiar.
yeah.
we talked to maybe about a
process there's something yeah.
>> so again my my my issue
is not with you.
oh I know but I think we need
to get district management's
attention that this is a big
deal if they're going to sell
or sell beer and they're stores
that they find time for y'all
to go.
yeah, no completely.
and so because you shouldn't be
this stressed out about trying
to manage and still get there
without even you know anything
about it like I didn't know
about the meeting.
yeah.
so who comes does the owner
come to the hearing at one time
it was the district manager,
ok?
and it's not in the it has been
the manager with district
manager I think one time as
best I recall since I've been
on I'm going to make a motion
that we send it to a hearing
officer and it's not you.
but I just think district
management needs to get the
idea that this is you can't let
stores go for two years without
making sure they're in
compliance intercession.
yes.
thank you.
if this is the process that the
beer board wants to continue to
take, I just want us to
question why we ask that
individuals appear before us
for this meeting if we know
we're automatically going to
send them to a revocation
hearing.
I'm satisfied with individuals
who appear at the revocation
hearing being given that chance
to take the class because as
you pointed out, we may not be
sending the message to the
people that we need to send the
message to but we are making
the working class kind of run
around a little bit more and I
think that we can resolve it
here in this meeting.
but if we're not going to do
that, let's think about how we
are using this meeting time if
they're automatically going to
be sent to the hearing seems to
me like some of that would be
dependent on how far out
of date they actually were.
it just so happens that dollar
general doesn't seem to their
management from wherever they
live.
I don't know where that is is
not very communicative.
yeah, that would seem to be the
same huh.
I think I think the standard
we're setting tonight
is everybody goes to the
hearing.
I don't think that's true
because we all have different
dates like I don't like I don't
know what she's got on here.
I also think different
situations tonight have someone
if they just put their name on
the permit they've already
taken the class then they will
comply.
so it seems all situations at
least for tonight we are
sending to a hearing well we
don't know yet because there's
someone here that have
different situations besides
the ones we've heard so far, so
I'm going to speak because my
wife's been on and everyone
else seems to just jump in.
>> so I'm going to yes.
I do see a difference thinking
about the generals that we've
just seen a cascade of that
this individual is speaking
about really not having any
communication not being in the
info stream and a willingness
to be here.
and I do think it's we're
trying to get to the district
person who can make a change
here.
but I think there's a good
faith and in her being here and
doing the right thing and
trying to do so for this one I
would not want to send them on
but to provide some other
another month or something so
the person gets here to to do
we need to have done ok.
I'd like to amend my motion ok
to postpone this for one month
to give them time since she's
here to get in compliance I
will second that motion.
yeah and I'm so sorry about my
letter I agree with you I think
this is a great compromise on
this particular situation.
miss admon is your last name in
first of all I hope your
managers give you a raise and
understand.
yeah, well it's all good for
our you know, out of all of the
people all of the generals on
here you showed up you you know
you were here tonight we're
trying to send a message to
your bosses that they need to
support you and they're not
doing that currently.
so that's a reason for what
we're trying to do.
and so but you being here
tonight thank you.
thank you for speaking on half
happier story.
I hope your management
understands that and
appreciates it and I'm happy to
support the motion to give you
another thirty days to work
with management before we have
to deliver that message.
so thank you know that they're
all in favor pose ok you win
the trooper award ok so so you
know no I'm not done yet.
I'm not done no you don't want
max but you get the trooper
award so you need to make sure
that you get your name on the
permit.
you need to talk to mr. Byrd
and then talk the cast class
some thursday before next month
and then you'll like be just
manono.
she literally stratifying told
me it was thirty five for the
background and fifty for the
class and all that stuff.
so I have all the papers that I
have to fill out to take that
now I just I just got them
today as before I came here ok
it sounds like she's on track.
yes.
thank you so much.
start playing because I want my
strawberry plants packed.
>> general.
maybe they should hire her.
ok, can you go to stores so
nobody's here can go for it I
guess but what about at uh oh
we have absolutely fenced off
lines.
yes.
oh great ok here again seven
five seven boustani planetwide
start your name and address for
the record please stacy our
address seven five seven five
starbury inspired ok I'll uh
they have not attended let's
see strapline since for
twenty seven of twenty three I
think you have application
linamar to talk to you about
background.
I can't get you to come because
we've been through just like
her two district managers I
don't even have an assistant
manager right now I'm scheduled
like seventy seven hours a week
right now doing everything so
it's just not hard on general
to every dollar general but I
just I've not even been there a
year yet so I did fill out the
application and I was going to
come in.
we lost the district manager
and then I didn't know what it
was or how to get it or how to
pay for it.
and I just got that information
probably like a week to go.
so you need give me a call and
get scheduled to come and do
your background so we can make
sure we get you on the permit
and then come to class.
I make a motion we postpone
this one for a month as well.
second discussion all in favor
posed us have it ok you got a
month to do those things.
ok, thank you.
come back.
thank you.
now we got two heroes today
wish uh galaxie smoke please
state your name and address for
the record please uh tax our
six zero one seven chirping
highway knoxville, tennessee
officer pressel uh this
business last attended february
2nd of twenty twenty three not
uh had any other contact with
him other than just the letters
we've sent out.
so you've sent me letters uh I
would have to look back we
usually send two letters
actually uh we send one about
every six months and then at
that point we actually stop
after the second letter and
then wait you guys sent out ok
so it's up to you.
you got you can make your case
why you haven't been over it.
>> first of all I want to
apologize to the committee
members.
uh, like I said due to my
partner who was traveling
abroad so I couldn't make it to
the class and I really want to
get to the class and get it
done by this thursday and get
on compliance and we'll make
sure we stay in compliance.
and this is my first offense.
mr. Mars knows that I'm very
active on getting things on
time and this is my first time.
>> so uh, make a motion that we
postpone this for one month
second.
I'm sorry, karen.
go ahead.
you can ask questions.
well, I just wanted to ask
because I did speak to um, mr.
frost and I thought that, uh
this application had been um
already addressed.
but it seems like you have some
experience with this individual
and that they've been very
communicative.
>> well, ma'am, with with other
matters you know, other permits
or other not specifically with
the cash class gazmin ok I
second that's why I'm
postponing a month any further
discussion on fiverr post so
you have a month to get that
done.
>> ok this thursday.
thank you.
you're gonna have a busy class
this thursday hampton inn and
suites was garba there matthew
doyle six oh one north garba
road uh the last time anyone on
this permit attended was
actually march twenty third
of twenty three.
this gentleman here came
earlier this month and attended
but he was not listed on the
permit.
discuss that with him that he's
got to be on the permit.
he also has to come in and do a
background check.
my understanding is he came to
mr. Byrd's office and did the
application but he has not
scheduled any background
checking with our office to
complete the process.
that is the last thing that I
need to do here.
so you're going to do that?
yes, ma'am.
yep.
yeah, a move that we postpone
this one month I've been to
discussion how long does a
background check usually take?
>> uh, once he comes in and
schedules it's pretty quick.
I have the results back in a
few days once he goes to the
tyvi person that it doesn't
take long at all.
alexeyeva post how you got a
month?
yes, ma'am.
thank you.
the melting pot don't think
that's what makes just 11 was
such a sweet sweet b or c
tristan right?
yes.
I talk to you on the phone.
right.
ok, I'll suppress uh the last
attendance for this business
was uh july 20th of twenty
twenty three.
>> so I understand I think
you're new but if you can
explain why it hasn't been done
or why you haven't done then
of course I've been in this
position for just slightly over
a year but also going through
the process of selling and
introducing ownership of the
business.
so there's been a lot
of permitting and things I've
been learning about this was
originally tasked to the bar
manager.
>> she resigned when she was
supposed to do it so it kind
of fell my bailout last minute
about three weeks ago I did
communicate with miss hensley.
we were having some issues and
that's what I was told to come
here about five twenty ok, so
you're not on the beer halmet
right?
right.
so as a manager I know you're
