Background/History:

An application for a person transfer Series 06 liquor license was received from Randy Nations for The Museum Club at 3404 E. Route 66.  The person transfer is from Brandyn Tullis for The Museum Club located at 3404 E. Route 66, Flagstaff, Arizona to Randy Nations.

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

A background investigation performed by Gregory Brooks, Code Compliance Officer II, 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 only be given to 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 July 25, 2013.

For a Series 06 liquor license, the applicant is required to provide the distance between the applicant’s business and the nearest church or school; the State does not require a geological map or list of licenses in the vicinity for any license series.

Expanded Financial Considerations:

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

Community Benefits and Considerations:

The application was properly posted on March 28, 2013. No written protests have been received to date.

Expanded Options and Alternatives:

1) Table the item if additional information or time is needed.
2) Make no recommendation.
3) Forward the application to the State with a recommendation for approval.
4) Forward the application to the State with a recommendation for denial, stating the reasons for such recommendation.
