City staff: all 250 active beer permits paid, no penalties assessed
Summary
City staff told the Beer Board all 250 active beer permits were paid by the January deadline and no businesses incurred penalties or suspensions thanks to staff outreach; 38 accounts required extra follow‑up.
City of Franklin staff reported Feb. 11 that all 250 active beer permits were paid by the end of the January grace period and no penalties or suspensions were required. Ms. Davie told the Beer Board that late fees and penalties begin Feb. 1 for the beer privilege tax, which is due Jan. 1, and praised staff work following outreach to about 38 permit holders in the grace period.
Ms. Davie singled out Allison Johnson in her office for mailing certified letters, making calls and sending emails to bring accounts current. ‘‘No one had to pay a penalty, and no one had to have a suspension of their beer permit,’’ she said. Board members commended the team and asked staff to pass along thanks to those who worked on collections.
The meeting record does not specify the exact methods used to collect payments beyond the outreach described, nor does it list the identities of the 38 permit holders who required follow‑up.
