The Dyersburg Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Oct. 6 approved a beer permit for Dogwood Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to serve alcohol at events held in the Family Life Center building at the Dyer County Fairgrounds.

Police Chief (name not specified) told the board the applicant “meets the requirements set forth in the ordinance” and said, “I have no reason to deny them.” Board member Joey Harrison moved to approve the permit; Ricky Hammond seconded the motion and the board voted in favor.

The chief told the board this appeared to be the applicant’s third or fourth similar event at that location. There was no public comment on the permit during the meeting and no conditions recorded with the approval.

The action was a routine liquor-permit approval handled during the public-hearing portion of the agenda and was funded/regulated under the city’s permit ordinance, which the chief cited in recommending approval.

No dates for the specific event covered by the permit were announced at the meeting.

Items of note left unaddressed at the meeting: the record does not specify the exact ordinance number cited by the chief and there was no roll-call vote recorded in the minutes excerpt provided.
