I9.E.a I <br />PSMAC #1 <br />League of Arizona Cities & Towns Resolution <br />Pursue all avenues for improving relations between cities/towns and the State <br />Liquor Board, including having a city/Town official or staff member, or a League <br />representative, appointed to the Board <br />A. Purpose and Effect of Resolution <br />m <br />In Arizona, the State Liquor Board (Board) has the ultimate authority to approve or deny liquor license applications. Although city and town councils make recommendations on the applications, > <br />the recommendations are non -binding and the Board can choose to override the local government's <br />recommendation. <br />0 <br />State statute currently includes specific criteria for three of the seven seats on the State Liquor <br />re <br />Board, two liquor industry representatives and one representative from a neighborhood <br />association. State statute could be amended to specify that one of the remaining four seats be <br />designated for either a member of a city or town council, a city or town employee, or a <br />representative from the League. <br />N <br />B. Relevance to Municipal Policy <br />Having a designated local government representative on the State Liquor Board will help to ensure <br />that feedback from residents and the city or town council is properly considered and <br />understood. It will also give the other members of the State Liquor Board the opportunity to hear <br />a municipal perspective. Just as the industry has a designated seat at the table, the Board should <br />also include someone representing the cities and towns where the licensees will be operating. y <br />C. Fiscal Impact to Cities and Towns <br />There is no anticipated fiscal impact to cities and towns. <br />D. Fiscal Impact to the State <br />There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund. <br />d <br />E.
