This is one of them.

There are no zoning issues, but it is just a time thing to where we're still continuing our training.

So this will be signed off today, or I can go ahead and sign off on it now if you guys want to do that.

Okay, and you can proceed with it.

The other two that are gonna come up are not gonna be signed off on, but we haven't reviewed them yet.

Okay, but we can take care of this one.

Representing Tennessee Crown Distributing Company.

Georgia Crown Distributing Company is making application for a distributor's beer permit for 3875 North Hearthorn.

The business has had a beer permit in the past.

The pending application reflects an expansion.

The business is owned by Tennessee Crown Distributing Company.

And there again, I don't have a zoning.

Okay.

All right.

Is there uh is there someone representing Tennessee Crown?

Yes, sir.

Um, if you want to come up here to the podium, please make it somebody swear we're affirmed the testimony you're about to give.

Be the truth, all three but nothing.

But the truth?

Yes.

We can't state your name for the record.

Jerry Watts.

All right, Jerry.

Thank you.

Uh now zoning is on hold on this.

Uh is that the only thing that's left uh on this application is just a zoning approval.

I think that's correct.

So does that still require a zoning reproval approval?

Good question.

What's on the second one?

The the new facility that we're moving into that we're we've we're built that we've built.

We've I've got the certificate of occupancy and and the fire marshal's approval.

Um it's literally on the same piece of land in the industrial park.

Yeah, I don't think you're gonna have an issue with it.

We just haven't made it to it yet.

Okay, okay.

But each new permit, whether whether it's on the same parcel or not, requires a new uh zoning approval.

Do you mind me asking how long that will take?

We should have that today.

Oh, fantastic.

Okay, great.

Very good.

Thanks for your patience.

All right, so thank you.

Uh so uh is there any questions from any board members about the project?

Okay, if not, if it's approved today, then it'll go through the automatic process, and we will not need to take any action now.

Thank you very much.

Very good, and thank you for expanding in Chattanooga.

Well, we're happy to.

Thank you.

Okay.

Well, guess what?

This might we might have set a new record today.

All right.

There's no other business to come before the board today on the agenda.

Uh is there any discussion of any board members?

Uh, we think we need to don't we need to elect our new officers this time, so we need to do that.

Um, I guess we could do that at this time, or should we wait until the end of the agenda and do it?

Might as well do it now.

Alrighty.

All right, all right.

Okay, so yeah, this is it.

All right, so uh officers, I think you just said yes, ma'am.

Yeah, Miss Bertha was asking what we were doing.

Yeah, we're gonna elect our new officers.

Oh, because I thought we said at the last meeting that we were gonna wait until we have a full board.

Oh, we that's right, we did say that.

I apologize until we had all members, all the new members present.

Okay, that's correct.

So that's my bad.

I'm holding on to power as long as I can.

I'm sorry.

But I did notice uh that uh we have our district thing there.

I'm sorry, I was trying to show that, but then sorry, I forgot about that.

We did we did the voting request.

The first meeting that we have where we have all new members present, then we will do that then.

All right.

Any other discussion from anyone?

Okay.

I don't know if any work's been done about finding a replacement.

Um I have been in contact multiple times with my city council member.

Okay.

Well, Zach, thank you.

I hate to have to go, but I know your your contribution to the board is always very welcome.

It's nice to have an attorney on the board because sometimes we get into the legal, and it's nice to hear someone on the board's opinion of that knows how the system works.

And uh we really do appreciate your time and effort on this and uh and the Achley family as a whole.

As a whole, as now y'all don't have to call me Trevor anymore.

I'm just now getting to where I don't do that.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

Any other discussion?

Yes, ma'am.

I have a question.

We also discussed if he was able to continue until his replacement is on historically.

Board members have a have continued to serve if they can't have the time and want to, right?

Uh uh until their replacement is because we as we know we do have to have five members for a quorum and also five affirmative or of five affirmative votes on taking any action also.

So that Catherine, any comments?

I mean, it isn't the bylaws.

I did take a look at those um here recently.

That you can continue to serve if you wish until another person's been appointed, and I've I've reached out to uh Chris Anderson to see where we are on the appointment because I would also like to schedule a uh training for the board.

Right.

Um, but I'd rather wait until we have a full board.

Okay, and our new members in before I do that.

Until you're replaced, you're welcome.

I know, but I've got to stuff.

I know.

But I just wanted you to know that you're welcome.

I appreciate it.

Thank you, Zach.

We really appreciate that.

Okay.

Didn't call you Trevor, aren't you impressed?

Trevor is his brother, by the way, who was on the board sometime in the past.

So uh I had a problem.

I kept calling him Trevor.

All right.

Any other comments from board members?

Bertha.

Any comments here?

Okay.

Aye.

Opposed.
