Spring Hill beer board approves Home2 Suites permit after manager details ID checks and TABC training
Summary
The Spring Hill Beer Board approved a permit for Home2 Suites after the hotel's general manager described staff ID-checking procedures, refusal policies for intoxicated guests and mandatory TABC training and server permits; the board voted by voice.
Natalie Key, general manager of Home2 Suites, told the Spring Hill Beer Board the hotel has written policies and staff training aimed at preventing sales to minors and intoxicated patrons. "I am the general manager for the home 2 suites," she said during the board's meeting, confirming her role representing the applicant.
Key described the property's procedures for verifying legal age, checking ID expiration and date of birth, and refusing sales to guests who appear underage or intoxicated. She told the board staff are trained to watch for people attempting to give alcohol to someone else and that employees "have to do the TABC training, server permit, and they have to sign off on it as well."
Vice Mayor Linville asked whether the applicant understood the consequences for permit violations, noting there are "penalties up to and including revocation of the permit." Key replied that she was aware of those penalties. The board then moved to approve the permit; Linville moved "To approve the permit," Alderman Murray seconded, and the chair called for the ayes. The manager was handed the approved permit immediately afterward.
The board took no other public testimony on the item and adjourned the beer board following the vote. The record shows the board conducted a voice vote; individual vote tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
