A | Consideration and Action on Liquor License Application: Amy S. Nations, "Dirty Birdies," 2285 E. Butler Avenue, Series 06 and Series 12, New Applications. | ||||||
Councilmember Odegaard recused himself due to an appearance of a conflict of interest on the item. Mayor Evans opened the public hearing. Sergeant Ryan Turley introduced the application. Councilmember Salas asked about the name Dirty Birdies. Applicant Karan Patel stated that they wanted a fun sports bar kind of name that fit with having a good time, and birdies being a little bit on the fence with what it could mean along with golf and sports related. It is not a typical sports bar name. Councilmember McCarthy noted concerns with recent violations against two of the applicants and indicated that he would likely be voting against a recommendation for approval. Mr. Patel and Steve Ahlvin explained that the violations were big mistakes in their lives and things that they learned from. There have been no other derogatory matters since that time. Councilmember McCarthy thanked Mr. Patel and Mr. Ahlvin for their statements related to past events. He indicated that he will be voting in favor of a recommendation for approval. Councilmember Salas indicated that the applicants had been doing business in Flagstaff for over 20 years and they have been involved in a number of businesses serving food and liquor. There being no further comment, Mayor Evans closed the public hearing. |
