Wright, who said he spent 16 years as a headteacher and later served as a school-improvement partner under England’s Ofsted regime, described Riverdale as calm, well maintained and attentive to students’ needs. He said Finn, adopted by Wright’s daughter in 2012, received a full individualized education plan (IEP) within about 10 weeks of entering Riverdale and that his support teacher, identified in the remarks as “Mrs. Evans,” had provided exceptional help.

Wright recounted that Finn is small for his age and has ADHD and that Riverdale’s staff helped him integrate into class activities, including taking part in a recent sports day where classmates publicly encouraged him. Wright said the quality of the school’s attention and inclusion influenced his daughter’s decision to live in Germantown when she worked at FedEx in Memphis.

The board thanked Wright and said it would share his remarks with the school district.

The board set the ordinance’s second reading and public hearing for Aug. 25, 2025.

Director Ross described the property as a single-family lot developed in 1973 that includes a large pond. The developer’s illustrative plan submitted to staff shows approximately 17 lots, retention of the existing lake and a mail kiosk. The Planning Commission’s sketch-plan committee and a neighborhood meeting preceded the application; the Planning Commission recommended the rezoning earlier in July.

Alderman Salvaggio moved approval on first reading; Alderman Hicks seconded. Multiple aldermen who spoke — including Alderman Salvaggio, Alderman Hicks and Alderman Yulicki — said the proposed density and the developer’s plan are consistent with surrounding zoning and that they appreciated the plan’s preservation of the lake. Alderman (transcript: Sabaccio) also noted the lake would remain and emphasized planning scrutiny of drainage and detention when final plans are reviewed.

The board approved first reading and scheduled the required second reading and public hearing for Aug. 25, 2025. Next steps are plan submittal with engineering details, staff review, and the public hearing on the second reading.

Clerk Betty opened the public hearing on an application submitted by owner-applicant Nazar Olibai and said the application packet included zoning confirmation and a background check. No members of the public spoke during the hearing. Alderman Sanders moved to approve the permit; Alderman Hicks seconded the motion. The board voted to approve the permit on a roll call vote.

Kirby Bogan, who said she will serve as district manager when the store changes hands July 31, described the store’s training and compliance procedures. “We have knowledge zone training, new-hire orientation ... and a compliance check procedure” that uses undercover test purchases and a red/green card feedback system, Bogan said. She also told the board she has worked with the company for 15 years and that prior background checks for employees did not disclose convictions.

Clerk Betty confirmed the background checks found no convictions that would disqualify the applicant. A board member noted the manager’s presentation as “one of the more thorough explanations” of a responsible-vendor program the board had heard.

The board’s approval authorizes off-premise beer sales at the listed address; city staff will complete the permit paperwork following the vote.

Ending: The beer board adjourned and the full Board of Mayor and Aldermen resumed its regular meeting.","The Germantown Beer Board approved a permit allowing Fast Gas (9423 Poplar Ave.) to sell beer for off-premise consumption after staff presented a clear background check and the store manager described an established responsible-vendor program.","actionData","errors"]
