Background/History:

An application for a person transfer Series 06 liquor license was received from Danny Thomas for Dorado's at 103 N. Leroux. The transfer is from the Randy Nations for San Felipe's Cantina located at 103 N. Leroux, Flagstaff, Arizona to Danny Thomas.

A background investigation performed by Sgt. Matt Wright of the Flagstaff Police Department resulted in a recommendation for approval.

A background investigation performed by Tom Boughner, Code Compliance Manager, resulted in no active code violations being reported.

Sales tax and licensing information was reviewed by Ranbir Cheema, Tax, Licensing & Revenue Manager, who stated that the business is in compliance with the tax and licensing requirements of the City.

Key Considerations:

Because the application is for a person transfer, consideration may be given to only the applicant's personal qualifications.

A Series 06 (bar - all spirituous liquor) 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.

The deadline for issuing a recommendation on this application is March 6, 2014.

Community Benefits and Considerations:

This business will contribute to the tax base of the community. We are not aware of any other relevant considerations.

Community Involvement:

The application was properly posted on February 3, 2014. No written protests have been received to date.
