Background/History:
An application for a person transfer Series 06 liquor license was received from James Mansene for Mad I at 101 S. San Francisco St. The transfer is from Gulf Stream Corporation for JAX located at 101 S. San Francisco., Flagstaff, Arizona to James Mansene.
A background investigation performed by Sgt. Matt Wright of the Flagstaff Police Department resulted in a recommendation for approval. Sgt. Wright reported that there have been five liquor violations and three noise complaints in the last five years.
A background investigation performed by Tom Boughner, Code Compliance Manager, resulted in a number of active code violations being reported.
