Board Administrator Tammy Hildebrand said volunteers currently face a barrier because state or county rules limit an individual to a single liquor license; that restriction can make it difficult for volunteer-run nonprofits, such as carnival or festival organizers, to secure a temporary license when officers also hold retail licenses. Hildebrand asked the board to consider a county-specific exception that would apply only to per-diem class C licenses issued to nonprofits for fundraising events.

Members discussed potential for abuse and unintended consequences and asked staff to refine language and consult with the St. Mary's County License Beverage Association. David Dent of the beverage association said the group generally supported the concept but recommended the board ensure legislative language is “airtight” to prevent misinterpretation that would permit secondary retail licenses beyond the narrow per-diem exception.

Board members did not take a vote; they directed staff to continue developing draft language, gather additional stakeholder input, and return with proposals for the next legislative cycle.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","10/12/2017 Alcohol Beverage Board","oneSentenceSummary","Board members discussed a proposed change to county law to exempt per-diem Class C (temporary) nonprofit licenses from the rule that generally prohibits a person or officer from holding more than one liquor license.

Tammy Hildebrand, the board administrator, told members the fee is intended to offset administrative workload and that she had reviewed fees and approaches used in other counties, including Charles County. Hildebrand said the board must submit budget figures by November and that any fee change affecting license fees or classifications would require legislative action by the county commissioners.

David Dent, representing the St. Mary's County License Beverage Association, said the association had discussed the idea and did not object to a “modest admin fee” for new applications and transfers. Board members noted the proposal is a recommendation for the commissioners to consider; the commissioners have final authority over budget and fee changes.

A motion to include a $250 admin fee for both transfers and new applications in the FY2019 budget was moved, seconded and carried. Board staff noted that, if the commissioners approve the fee, it would likely take effect July 1 of the fiscal year and that more detailed fee structures or future classifications could be discussed later.","The board voted to include a $250 administrative filing fee for new liquor-application and transfer filings in its FY2019 budget proposal; the fee must be approved by the county commissioners and, if approved, would take effect July 1, 2018.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6358857,"Board grants 90-day conditional approval for Big Dog’s Paradise walk-in box repairs, pending updated drawing and agency sign-offs",646,1644000,2290000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2210904-c7367407000d21fdb8989610420dfb38&start=1644&end=2290","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2210904-c7367407000d21fdb8989610420dfb38/thumbnail_1644000.jpg","/articles/6358857/St-Marys-County/Maryland/Board-grants-90-day-conditional-approval-for-Big-Dogs-Paradise-walk-in-box-repairs-pending-updated-drawing-and-agency-sign-offs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6358857-414ff7f6df8449901df69404888c5958/orig.mp4?Expires=1771186259&Signature=IxglY0AmIN86rMZRbjAnBCTnnJz-a0yY~ZI0FSwYfuRnS49M48gMI3XDzym3NBPY0QyUdN67wiFT63YzWzCRIcj3FhAX-ttD0ADRft6TuojDfjJJi~-CW3YfBMbMN7MCuwhpqXGqdnRo4-C4fIFFXJ3bPNU~dOK0WH2lpezSNA5bsZMTGjfFktc3aAmF0qFTQveCnstKI0HyT6FIYGS9No~GYgAROYJ-aGBuuRMZh5fzz1WPZES0CLNJFmjiI3tHnmI-XKR6pWyEpobjWeytygz~GQpIBpyrQmkK56vMUsfx6ZkvKiGExya4jXP5UkEttsLOk-0RM~mzsE5zNMXJ1w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The St. Mary's County Alcohol Beverage Board granted a 90-day conditional approval on Sept. 14, 2017 to Big Dog’s Paradise (applicant Brian Atkins) to address structural and refrigeration issues tied to a removed walk-in box and a lean-to roof requiring repair.

Atkins told the board the county inspector had raised concerns about notched trusses and the support posts for a lean-to roof; the inspector also requested photos and an engineering review tied to snow-load concerns. Atkins said he replaced 4x4 posts with 6x6s and installed a header, and that he is arranging replacement of the flat roofing. He asked the board for a 90-day window to finish repairs and obtain reinspection.

Board staff and Atkins agreed the conditional approval should be based on submission of an updated drawing and final sign-off from the Maryland Department of Inspections and Appeals (MDIA) and county permitting staff (referred to in the meeting as Harry Knight/Jacqueline Loughlin’s office). The fire marshal had already indicated no objection by email, Atkins said.

The board moved and approved the 90-day conditional, with the condition that the applicant submit the updated construction drawing and secure permanent approval from MDIA and the county permitting office (Loughlin/Harry Knight). The board asked staff to accept the updated drawing and forward it to members so that the final administrative clearance could be confirmed.","Big Dog’s Paradise received a 90-day conditional approval to address building and walk-in box issues; the board required updated drawings and final approvals from MDIA and local permitting offices before permanent approval.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6358861,"Board approves Foxy Fish front-porch service expansion; cautions on crowd control",628,1005000,1633000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2210904-c7367407000d21fdb8989610420dfb38&start=1005&end=1633","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2210904-c7367407000d21fdb8989610420dfb38/thumbnail_1005000.jpg","/articles/6358861/St-Marys-County/Maryland/Board-approves-Foxy-Fish-front-porch-service-expansion-cautions-on-crowd-control","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6358861-7623cdc7145292c93c9b0a322d3a50f1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771186259&Signature=KHZ-IwcyOHJM664eDmCQ98s1Cs3qgLp0IsG2Kr2Fyya0DrEFu0yn-uLREhPD3QGEOC2kkRC9~x88gDYh463M2ODZt5qJHxKOuk4vB9BdwsfNlIvcyBhXxSaGDy3IdqMQc5EpGZUoxuVJ3i9aVsUJiip8CjM6cgmKae5~Ao-htiTNI1ZrGefII4cKbZAZpxnrkK1ZLlgy79-EVRhbtv49BjH24qkxEKatxpc9bkaKyrT3H81fPZUZzuz8LQxEa-LxingwJe24De82vAIYaAgk5Kh-jGCcRRcm~tGNLxDvKWy9FsWCyEop12nLvULNYSxLeZxb65kmYb263QaNoSifDw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The St. Mary's County Alcohol Beverage Board approved a request by Deborah and David Buckler to extend premises at Foxy Fish to allow alcohol service on the front porch, the board said at its Sept. 14, 2017 meeting.

Owner Deborah (Debbie) Buckler told the board she seeks the change to ease congestion inside the restaurant by adding bench seating and small tall tables on the front deck. She described the front deck as “quite a large deck” and said she estimates placing five to seven small round tables outside, and that the facility’s fire marshal load is 94.

Board members emphasized the need for staff to control access to the porch and for clear signage. A board member recommended roping and posted notices stating “no alcoholic beverages beyond this point.” The applicant said a server would be stationed at an exterior access door so staff could serve and monitor outdoor patrons.

The board voted to approve the extension. Members advised the licensee to ensure adequate staff are present during busy periods so that patrons do not carry alcohol into the parking lot and so that entry and egress remain unobstructed.

The approval applies to the front-porch area as described in the applicant’s materials and does not automatically authorize future construction or changes that would alter capacity; Buckler said any expansion that affects septic or seating would be a later project requiring permits and further review.","The St. Mary's County Alcohol Beverage Board approved an extension of premises to allow service on the front porch at Foxy Fish, with the operator instructed to maintain staffing and signage to control movement between the porch and parking areas.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6358863,"Board approves Mad Moon Cafe & Lounge license transfer with 90-day conditions",868,95000,963000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2210904-c7367407000d21fdb8989610420dfb38&start=95&end=963","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2210904-c7367407000d21fdb8989610420dfb38/thumbnail_95000.jpg","/articles/6358863/St-Marys-County/Maryland/Board-approves-Mad-Moon-Cafe-Lounge-license-transfer-with-90-day-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6358863-6ed0216d5610386fae93c418abb0e8f5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771186259&Signature=ac78e3gKmbvqTddQhLiG33xLjunv6AzcDfls2mUUd~13p~Psnqlxzti6C4Fo95Cff~KA6OWxoz2wpmswYiMNPahmyScrflhiA6zBxuMpEoy598n0CSXpgAqyYi47~XBdKm8eOA8T6y3bqcPkFM8buhuNg8j-jw4eG1R3pM7~RFevg4atu5j0sgiGX7VNbr2X4Nq5l2Xzlh2u65CTEsm7hSHVV2qXI1j8YPndf~4WScjzY4rVOmCV8PZ-T6hGTJp2RIWbFrF1swgfOvlqbLGKmhgGpAZiW1htEIijDonS26X56qQ0FTlcdxpFiBl8b3sKqhI7wMgGlWcDFWQJWbiL3Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The St. Mary's County Alcohol Beverage Board on Sept. 14, 2017 approved the transfer of a Class B beer, wine and liquor license from Corey T. Hunter to Mad Moon LLC, which will operate as Mad Moon Cafe and Lounge at 22576 McArthur Boulevard in California, Maryland.

The board granted a 90-day conditional approval that requires the applicant to secure a change-of-occupancy permit and a trader's license within that window. Board staff also discussed mandatory Responsible Alcohol Sales (RAS) and Therapeutic Alcohol Management (TAM) training for the on-site managers and license-holder designee.

Jennifer Bell, who described herself as the business owner and the local person associated with the LLC, told the board the operation will be “the same exact business” after the transfer, with the same hours, food and atmosphere. She said the use of the word “lounge” was intended to signal customers that the venue offers more than coffee: “We have lunch and we have dinner and we have the beer and wine that has always been there.” Bell told the board Mad Moon will close at 9 p.m. on weeknights and will not transform into a late-night bar scene.

Board members pressed for clarity about who will operate the business and whether trained staff will be on site. Bell said Corey T. Hunter will hold the license initially while she relies on his experience; she said she planned to apply to have the license transferred into her name within a year. She identified a day manager, James Rivenbark, and said other managers have completed required training; she said she would complete her training “as soon as possible.”

Tammy Hildebrand, the board administrator, explained the 90-day conditional window would allow the board to document that the required permits are in place and that training requirements are met. The board moved and voted to approve the transfer with that 90-day condition; the motion carried.

The approval preserves the existing operation’s hours and on-site sale of beer and wine while adding the updated business name and LLC structure to the county license records. The board noted it retains authority to impose further restrictions if the business’s hours or operations change beyond what was documented for the transfer.","The St. Mary's County Alcohol Beverage Board approved the transfer of a Class B beer, wine and liquor license to Mad Moon LLC on Sept. 14, 2017, granting a 90-day conditional approval pending a change of occupancy and a trader's license and requiring training for the license holder.","actionData","errors"]
