Consideration and Action on Liquor License Application:  Robert Verderame, "Il Rosso's Pizzeria & Bar", 6 E. Aspen Ave., Suite 120, Series 12 (restaurant), 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 12 license allows the holder of a restaurant license to sell and serve spirituous liquor solely for consumption on the premises of an establishment which derives at least forty percent (40%) of its gross revenue from the sale of food. IL Rosso's Pizzeria and Bar was an active restaurant in Flagstaff that closed a while back due to their facility being sold. The restaurant will be re-opening and has relocated; if approved, it will be the 92nd active series 12 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.

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