The board members are appointed by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen:

Process
Due to processing and public notice requirements, pdf beer permit applications (3.07 MB) must be received by the 4th Friday of the month for consideration during the following month. Beer Board meetings are generally called on the 3rd Monday of the month.
The Beer Board considers the pdf application (3.07 MB) and either grants or refuses a permit according to compliance with the pdf City Beer Ordinance (2.94 MB) . Compliance issues include:
- Zoning of establishment
- Minimum seating for on-premise permit
Active permit holders are subject to an annual $100 privilege tax, prorated for the first year and payable in January of each subsequent year.
