\"If they are suspended, we still can,\" Davis said when the board discussed whether distributors would supply suspended accounts. He added that if a business lacks a valid license the distributor would not sell to them.

Board members and distributors discussed whether distributors should require proof of Tennessee sales-and-use registration or a state exemption letter for nonprofit organizations before making deliveries to events. Davis said distributors often require a Tennessee sales-and-use document or a state nonprofit exemption letter (the state exemption requires a separate application and fee) even if the organization has federal 501(c)(3) documentation.

Staff and panelists noted practical limits: obtaining state documentation can delay a business or event, and local staff said that regulatory and enforcement divisions communicate with distributors about delinquent licenses. The board did not adopt new rules at the meeting but encouraged continued coordination between staff and distributors to limit sales to revoked-license holders and to assist event organizers with the proper tax documentation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Chattanooga City Beer Board Meeting - 7/3/2025","oneSentenceSummary","A distributor representative told the Beer Board that suspended permits may still receive deliveries while revoked permits do not.

Board members and staff reminded the room that the board’s application process requires anyone who owns 5% or more of a business to be listed on the permit. Board staff said applicants submit that information under oath, and the regulatory division and enforcement staff are the first points of contact when the public reports potential violations.

Commenters and board members described the process as “loose” in practice for some new businesses because ownership paperwork may still be in flux at application time. One board member said checking ownership closely at initial application can be difficult when businesses are not yet open; another recommended that the enforcement division be notified when the public spots possible violations so staff can investigate and follow up.

The board did not change policy at the hearing. Staff asked members of the public to report suspected violations to the enforcement division so staff can examine filings and pursue compliance as needed.","Public comment and board discussion highlighted recurring instances where owners were not listed on beer-permit renewals. Board members and staff noted the 5% disclosure threshold and said enforcement relies on sworn applications and enforcement-division follow-up.",{"_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},6178876,"Chattanooga Beer Board sends two applications back to regulatory pending building sign-off; several permits read into record",154,731000,885000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5187999-28d56b8f66104737232157b6712b9297&start=731&end=885","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5187999-28d56b8f66104737232157b6712b9297/thumbnail_731000.jpg","/articles/6178876/Chattanooga-City/Hamilton-County/Tennessee/Chattanooga-Beer-Board-sends-two-applications-back-to-regulatory-pending-building-sign-off-several-permits-read-into-record","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6178876-3d69dc726f34195976d1750ab5578215/orig.mp4?Expires=1770964924&Signature=fnBv-2RyjC~bOerJyrIGcO9HQKhIYwCAh~tAkXdzsBTq5ho~Xv3c31GZ4L8FRUS-fERx9NyrRkDR5bhPvi4Pcf2bcQDGo1zuUiw60fB7LrEohGNdEl1KJHD-edRcLUn7l~ROBVPnfWDYp1di~MfBj1BGEUqTpjXQWBaqb0uxC4tDIzdyv8H9vOpL9tXZM4nt6mfNr33G9nfCMPZtXuokGFzNhCeHDWT3-Jqo7wcCSPguRoUauxAVxPXUadLGG0dF5vFGokd9kXoldGI0RqoBsdy2fRRYMlZCbRrmghpwm4n6brxXNN2H9b4tZ45XWsBOB2hv2eX8dvNjDAHIanYezA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Chattanooga Beer Board voted unanimously on June 18 to send two license applications — listed on the agenda as items 1324 and 1320 — back to the regulatory office because the building-inspector approvals were not yet complete.

Board Chair called the motion after staff reported that building had not signed off on the storefront upgrades. The board recorded a roll-call vote with all members present voting yes: Zach; Betsy; Reginald; JW; Ron; Veronica; Brooke; Christie; and the chair.

Board staff told the applicants that once they complete the repairs and receive building approval, the regulatory authority will be able to finalize the permits online and the applicants will not need to return to the board for a new hearing. Applicant Thomas Smith told the board he expects the work to begin shortly; applicant Giancarlo Fernandez was also told the regulatory office would complete approval after building signs off.

During the meeting the chair read into the record permits that regulatory had approved prior to the hearing. Approvals listed included: SmartMusic Project (Firefly Twilight Market, TE87); Hot as Hades Project (TE89); Rise/Chattanooga Pops on the River (TE91); 100 Food 6 LLC d/b/a Chicken (BeerDash1322); Thirsty Elephants LLC d/b/a Yummy Thai Restaurant and Bar (BeerDash1335); 3 Gen Inc. d/b/a Beef O'Brady's (BeerDash1346); and Los Mich d/b/a Los Mich (BeerDash1349), among others.

Separately, staff reported that one named licensee, Nathan Bedford, paid a $750 fine; staff advised Bedford must submit a new application and return to the board for approval once the new application is filed.

The board closed the item after confirming that regulatory will complete approvals once building inspection signs off and that applicants will be notified by regulatory staff.","The Beer Board voted unanimously to return two license applications (1324 and 1320) to the regulatory office because building inspections were not complete. Board members read a list of other permits approved by regulatory and noted that approved applicants will not need to return once building signs off.","actionData","errors"]
