Shelbyville Beer Board reviews show-cause package for Bar 69, prepares order for service
Summary
The Shelbyville Beer Board reviewed a draft show-cause order and supporting exhibits for Bar 69, including police incident reports and minutes from a 2022 proceeding, and instructed staff to finalize the order for signature and service ahead of a hearing next month.
At its meeting, the Shelbyville Beer Board reviewed a draft show-cause order for Bar 69 and the documents that will form the record for a forthcoming show-cause hearing. Board attorney Deidre said the packet includes police incident reports, related police reports and minutes from a 2022 proceeding involving the same permit holder.
Deidre, board attorney, said the packet contains four incident reports and the police reports required by law, summarizing that the records include allegations such as disturbing the peace, public intoxication and an incident involving shots fired. “These are all the documents that are properly placed before you at that hearing,” Deidre said, describing the exhibits that will be attached to the show-cause order.
The documents Deidre described include the applicant’s original beer-permit application, minutes from the Beer Board meetings in October and November 2022 that recorded an earlier show-cause action, and police incident reports. Deidre said those earlier minutes are being included for historical context so members can reference what the board decided previously and any safety measures that were discussed at that time.
Board members did not rehear the underlying adjudication during the meeting; Deidre emphasized the purpose of including older minutes is to place prior actions into the record rather than to reopen the 2022 determination. She outlined the administrative steps for due process: the chairman will sign the show-cause order, staff will copy the exhibits, the police department will serve the order, and the board will leave a copy of the packet with the individual served.
No formal final adjudication on the merits occurred during the meeting. Instead, the board agreed to have the chair sign the order and to have staff and the police department complete service and filing so that the matter can proceed to the scheduled show-cause hearing next month. Deidre said she will provide the board an outline explaining how the board will handle show-cause hearings in advance of that meeting.
The show-cause packet and its exhibits will be included in the board’s records and available for reference at the hearing. The board’s staff will prepare the printed exhibits and coordinate service with the police department as required by law.
