Adams County alcohol board approves three license renewals, postpones transfer

The Alcohol Beverage Board of Adams County approved three license renewals and postponed a transfer at a brief meeting on May 26, 2026, which began at 9:05 a.m. and adjourned at 9:07 a.m.

Board members recorded present were John Kent, Dan Greenberg, Toby Springer and Pete Brown. The board reviewed three renewal applications: RR0140079 (Beer, Wine and Liquor Restaurant) for Spare Time Lanes; RR014244 (Beer Retailer Restaurant) and DL0134110 (Beer and Wine Dealer Grocery Store) for Suman Golf LLC doing business as Wabash Valley Golf Club in Geneva; and a Beer and Wine Dealer Grocery Store renewal for H&R Petroleum doing business as Decatur Quick Stop on South 13th Street in Decatur. The board noted that one item on the agenda was being pushed to a later meeting.

A board member stated there were no violations on the renewal applications before the board moved to act. Pete Brown moved to approve the renewals; Toby Springer seconded the motion. When the chair asked members to indicate assent by saying “I,” members did so and the chair announced the motion carried. The transcript does not record a roll-call vote tally for each member.

The meeting record shows a separate license transfer on the agenda was postponed; no additional details about the transfer (applicant or reason for postponement) were provided in the transcript. No other new business was raised before a motion to adjourn passed and the meeting ended at 9:07 a.m.

The actions taken were routine license renewals with no violations reported in the meeting transcript. The board did not discuss enforcement actions, conditions attached to approvals, or any substantive public comments during the recorded session.
