INFORMATION
TOWN OF MARANA
MEETING DATE: December 5, 2006
AGENDA ITEM: I. 1
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Jocelyn C. Bronson, Town Clerk
AGENDA TITLE: Resolution No. 2006-194: Relating to Liquor Licenses;
consideration of recommendation to the State Liquor Board for a
new No. 12 (Restaurant) liquor license submitted by Stephanie
Lynn Marinelli on behalf of Roma Caffe Ristorante Italiano,
located at 4140 W. Ina Road, #184.
DISCUSSION
Stephanie Lynn Marinelli, on behalf of Roma Caffe Ristorante Italiano, is applying for a new
No. 12 (Restaurant) liquor license for premises located at 4140 W. Ina Road, #184.
The State Department of Liquor Licenses & Control has completed a background investigation
and has forwarded two copies of an application for a spirituous liquor license in accordance with
the State of Arizona Guide to Arizona Liquor Laws. 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.
If the application is approved at the appropriate government level, and no written protests have
been received by the Town, and if there is no objection by the Director, the application will be
approved. This process normally takes 90 days after the filing ofthe application.
If the governing body disapproves the application or offers a "no-recommendation" decision, or
if protests have been filed, 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-location transfer need
only prove that the granting of the license is in the "best interest of the community".
Roma Caffe Ristorante Italiano
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.

Staff recommends consideration of approval of this liquor license.
