Beer Board

Regular session

Meeting brief Transcript 1:40–3:55

At a glance

The Beer Board apparently approved prior minutes, relinquishment of the Pick N Pay beer permit, and a new-owner permit. The agenda confirms the business and address; outcomes remain transcript-based.

Decision2:33–3:22

Pick N Pay permit relinquishment

The board considered relinquishment of the existing off-premises permit for Pick N Pay at 102 Old Riceville Road. Duggan requested confirmation when the physical permit was returned. Roberts said she had spoken with the permit holder.

Apparent approval; return of the permit still awaited confirmation

Source note

The agenda identifies Hiwassee Market, LLC (Khushbu Patel). The transcript garbles the street name; the agenda supplies the address. Approval does not establish that the permit was subsequently returned.
