Shelbyville beer board approves on‑premises beer permit for Teresa I. Cruz
Summary
The City of Shelbyville Beer Board approved an application from Teresa I. Cruz to sell beer on premises at 1014 Madison Street after staff confirmed health, business and landlord paperwork; the permit will be available at City Hall with a prorated fee.
The City of Shelbyville Beer Board on May 14, 2025 voted to approve an application from Teresa I. Cruz to sell beer on premises at 1014 Madison Street.
Board staff told members they had received the items the board requested at last month’s meeting — a Department of Health health certificate, a business license and a landlord acknowledgement — and recommended approval. "We have received all the documents that you all will consider," a staff member said during the hearing.
Teresa I. Cruz was sworn in and presented through an on‑scene translator, Andreas Gonzales. Board members asked no additional questions; one member said they had visited the business and enjoyed the food and service.
After a motion to approve, which was seconded, the board voted in favor and carried the motion. Staff told Cruz the printed permit could be picked up at City Hall the next day after 10 a.m. and that she must pay a prorated portion of the annual privilege tax for the remainder of 2025 — $66.64 — at pickup. Staff explained the full annual privilege tax is $100 and is due each January; the amount charged on issuance was prorated for the remainder of the year.
The board did not attach additional conditions to the license in the motion. The approval is effective on the permit issuance date; Cruz was instructed to obtain the physical permit and the prorated tax payment at City Hall.
Members of the public did not comment on the application during the hearing.
