Consideration and Action on Liquor License Application:  Jeffrey Miller, "Collins Irish Pub & Eatery", 2 N. Leroux St., Series 06 (bar - all spirituous liquor), Person and Location Transfer.

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 business. This transfer is from Oliver Badgio of Maloney's which was located in Flagstaff. The liquor license was recently sold and must be transferred to the new owner and location. Collins Irish Pub & Eatery is an existing business in Flagstaff and is currently operating under a series 06 license. The second series 06 license will be placed in inactive status and Collins will operate as usual. There are currently 21 series 06 liquor licenses in Flagstaff, one is currently inactive and if approved, this license will also be in inactive status.

The property has been posted as required, and the Police and Community Development divisions have reviewed the application with no concerns noted. Please note that with the administration of sales tax being transferred to the State of Arizona the Sales Tax division will not be able to report on the status of liquor license applicants; the City is attempting to obtain software that will give access to records.

There is no budgetary impact to the City of Flagstaff as this is a recommendation to the State.
