TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL

AGENDA TITLE: Resolution No. 2005-107: Relating to Liquor Licenses; approving
and authorizing a recommendation to the State Liquor Board for
a No. 12 (restaurant) liquor license application submitted by Hilda
Senaida Salazar, on behalf of EI Chilito Taqueria and Buffet,

DISCUSSION
Hilda Senaida Salazar, on behalf of E1 Chilito Taqueria and Buffet, is applying for a (No. 12
(restaurant) liquor license for premises located at 6781 N. Thornydale 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. This process normally takes 90 days after the filing of the application.
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".
