Background/History:
An application for a person and location transfer Series 06 liquor license was received from Danny Thomas for Porky's Pub at 2285 E. Butler Ave.  The transfer is from the Diana Mercer for Empire House Motel located at 100 S. Lake Powell Blvd., Page, Arizona to Danny Thomas.

A background investigation performed by Sgt. Matt Wright of the Flagstaff Police Department resulted in a recommendation for approval.

A background investigation performed by Tom Boughner, Code Compliance Manager, resulted in no active code violations being reported.

Sales tax and licensing information was reviewed by Ranbir Cheema, Tax, Licensing & Revenue Manager, who stated that the business is in compliance with the tax and licensing requirements of the City.
Key Considerations:
Because the application is for a person and location transfer, consideration may be given to the applicant's personal qualifications as well as the location of the premises.

A Series 06 (bar - all spirituous liquor) allows a bar retailer to sell and serve spirituous liquors, primarily by individual portions, to be consumed on the premises and in the original container for consumption on or off the premises.

The deadline for issuing a recommendation on this application is April 15, 2014.
Community Benefits and Considerations:
This business will contribute to the tax base of the community. We are not aware of any other relevant considerations.

The application was properly posted on February 26, 2014. No written protests have been received to date.

1) Table the item if additional information or time is needed.
2) Make no recommendation.
