1. Forward the application to the State with a recommendation for approval;
2. Forward the application to the State with a recommendation for denial based on the testimony received at the public hearing and/or other factors.

The liquor license process begins at the State level and applications are then forwarded to the respective municipality for posting of the property and holding a public hearing, after which the Council recommendation is forwarded back to the State. A Series 06 license allows a bar retailer to sell and serve spirituous liquors, primarily by individual portions, to be consumed on the premises and in the original container for consumption on or off the premises. Series 06 (bar- all spirituous liquor) licenses are obtained through the person and/or location transfer of an existing license from another owner or business. Baddies Food Joint is an existing business in Flagstaff and they are requesting an owner transfer. They purchased the license from Craig Bouchard with 28to3 LLC in July 2024. If approved, it will one of 22 active series 06 licenses in Flagstaff.
