Crossville beer board approves item contingent on code approval; mayor pro tem declines to vote

Crossville — The Beer Board convened and approved an item by voice vote with the caveat that final approval is contingent on subsequent code-department clearance, according to the meeting record. The board chair (not identified by name in the transcript) asked for a motion to approve contingent on code approval, received a second and called for a voice vote; the motion passed.

The transcript records a follow-up statement that Mayor Pro Tem Gert had a potential conflict of interest and did not cast a vote on the Beer Board matter. After the board concluded, the meeting record states: “Motion carries. That concludes our beer board meeting.”

The item’s substantive details, including the licensee name, license type, and applicable code sections, were not specified in the recorded excerpt. The board made approval contingent on later confirmation that the item complies with city code.

The council then transitioned from the Beer Board portion of the evening into the regular city council meeting, beginning with a public hearing on annexations.
