Bronson, CMC, Town Clerk AGENDA TITLE: Resolution No. 2006-21: Relating to Liquor Licenses; approving and authorizing a recommendation to the State Liquor Board for a No. 12 (restaurant) liquor license application submitted by Hien Trong Ma, on behalf of Miss Saigon Bar and Grill, located at 4650 W. Ina Road. DISCUSSION Hien Trong Ma, on behalf of Miss Saigon Bar and Grill, is applying for a No. 12 (restaurant) liquor license for premises located at 4650 W. Ina Road. The business is in compliance, and the Marana Police Department, showing no record on file, has completed a background check. In accordance with the State of Arizona Guide to Arizona Liquor Laws, the Clerk's office has received two copies of an application for a spirituous liquor license from the State Department of Liquor Licenses & Control Department. One copy of the application has been posted on the front of the proposed licensed premises for 20 days prior to this meeting. The Council, as the appropriate governing board, must hold a meeting and either approve, disapprove or offer a "no-recommendation" decision on the application. This action must take place within 60 days of the filing of the application. During the time the governing body is processing the application, the Department will conduct a background check of the applicant. If the application is approved at the appropriate government level, and no written protests have been received by the Department, and if there is no objection by the Director, the application will be approved. If the governing body disapproves the application or offers a "no-recommendation" decision, or if the protests have been filed with the Department, the application must be set for a hearing before the State Liquor Board. The hearing may be conducted by the board or by a designated hearing officer. The purpose of a hearing is to consider all evidence and testimony in favor of or opposed to the granting of a license. The applicant for a new license bears the burden of demonstrating his or her "capability, qualifications and reliability" and that the granting of a license is in "the best interest of the community" except that, in a person-to-person transfer, an applicant need only prove his or her "capability, qualifications and reliability". An applicant in a location-to-Iocation transfer need only prove that the granting of the license is in the "best interest of the community". The decision by the board to grant or deny an application will normally take place within 105 days after the application has been filed, unless the director deems it necessary to extend the time period. A.R.S. 4-201, 4-201.01, 4-203; Rule R-4-15-102. RECOMMENDATION The office of the Town Clerk has received no comments in favor or against the application. Staff recommends consideration of approval of this liquor license.
