Consideration and Action on Liquor License Application:  David Hallum "Hallum Food Stores", 4501 N. Hwy. 89, Series 10 (beer and wine store), New License.

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 10 license allows a retail store to sell beer and wine (no other spirituous liquors), only in the original unbroken package, to be taken away from the premises of the retailer and consumed off the premises.

Hallum is an existing business that was recently under lease and is now under new management. If approved, it will be the 32nd active series 10 license in Flagstaff.

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.

Not applicable

Liquor licenses are a regulatory action and there is no Council goal that applies.

Not applicable

Because the application is for a new license, consideration may be given to both the applicant's personal qualifications and the location.

The deadline for issuing a recommendation on this application is March 27, 2017.

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

The application was properly posted on February 15, 2017. No written protests have been received to date.
