Beer Brd R 293 260428

The Knoxville Community Media Beer Board held a meeting on April 29, 2026, primarily focused on alcohol compliance checks, permit approvals, and enforcement actions related to beer permits. The board reviewed compliance reports detailing violations by several businesses selling alcohol to minors and discussed suspension and fine actions against non-compliant permit holders, including Dollar General and Harbs Market. Multiple new and existing beer permit applications were approved pending final documentation such as certificates of occupancy and Department of Agriculture approvals. The board also addressed issues with businesses failing to surrender permits or meet mandatory training requirements, resulting in motions to refer some cases to hearing officers for further action. Several permit applications were postponed to the May 26 meeting, and the board emphasized the importance of compliance with city codes and permit regulations to avoid penalties.
