Information

Request/Subject

Liquor License Application (County No. LL-21-04) to change the Acquisition of Control and Agent to Elouisa Annette Bland for a Series 12 restaurant license at Mama Joe's Italian Grill in Strawberry.

Background Information

Elouisa Annette Bland submitted an Acquisition of Control and Agent Change Application to the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control (DLLC) regarding a Series 12 restaurant license at Mama Joe's Italian Grill located at 5076 N. Highway 87 in Strawberry.

ACQUISITION OF CONTROL – This is the person who owns the business where the liquor license is located.

AGENT – The assigned agent is essentially the contact person for both the state and the county. The agent MUST reside in the County where the liquor license is located and must be a U.S. Citizen.

Evaluation

The application has been reviewed by the Clerk of the Board. The statute outlines the governing body's responsibility, as follows: "The local governing body of the city, town, or county may protest the acquisition of control within 60 days (of the date the application was submitted to the DLLC) on the capability, reliability and qualification of the person acquiring control." Gila County does not do a background check on liquor license applicants due to time and manpower; therefore, the only information that would be provided to the Board is from someone protesting the application. The Clerk of the Board has not received any objection to this application.

Conclusion

The application has been reviewed by the Clerk of the Board and all paperwork was submitted in accordance with DLLC requirements. The Clerk of the Board has not received any comments, positive or negative, regarding this acquisition of control and agent change for the liquor license located at Mama Joe's Italian Grill.

Recommendation

It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors issue an approval recommendation to the DLLC for this application.

Suggested Motion

Approval recommendation to be submitted to the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control regarding Elouisa Annette Bland's Acquisition of Control and Agent Change Application (Gila County No. LL-21-04) for a Series 12 restaurant license at Mama Joe's Italian Grill, 5076 N. Highway 87, Strawberry, Arizona.
