Consideration and Action on Liquor License Application:  Cecily Clift-Maniaci, "Grand Canyon Spirits", 982 Fort Valley Road., Series 07 (beer and wine bar), Person 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 07 beer and wine bar license allows a beer and wine bar retailer to sell and serve beer and wine, primarily by individual portions, to be consumed on the premises and in the original container for consumption on or off the premises. Series 07 licenses must be obtained through the person and/or location transfer of an existing license from another business. The Series 07 license is being transferred from Michael Funk with Firecreek Flagstaff, LLC, located in Flagstaff. Grand Canyon Spirits is an existing business in Flagstaff; if approved, it will be one of the 23 active series 07 licenses in Flagstaff. Series 07 licenses are quota licenses.  To view surrounding liquor licenses, please visit http://map-flagstaff.opendata.arcgis.com/
