Board members asked staff to add a clear agenda item that lists violations scheduled to appear before the administrative hearing officer on meeting days. Members said the current agenda presentation sometimes causes confusion about whether the full beer board will hear a cited violation or whether it will go to the hearing officer for adjudication.

Christie and other members proposed adding a line titled something like “Violations scheduled to appear before the hearing officer” to the board agenda so members and the public can see which matters will proceed to a hearing officer after the board meeting. Board members and staff agreed the change would improve clarity and help schedule hearings near the 30–60 day statutory window in cases that require continued action or continuances.

The board asked staff to coordinate wording with Martha and other clerical staff and to place the new agenda item on future dockets so members can see a list of cases set for administrative hearing. No formal vote was required; the board reached consensus to request the change.
