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.

This process normally takes 90 days after the filing of the application.

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.
