Council recommends approval of Series 12 liquor license for Big H Barbecue

Prescott Valley, Ariz. — The Town Council on Sept. 25 recommended approval of a Series 12 restaurant liquor license application for Big H Barbecue, located at 171 Arizona State Route 69, Suite E, and forwarded that recommendation to the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control.

Planning/clerical staff said the town office received the application and posted the required 20-day public notice on the premises; no public comments were received during the notice period. Based on the record, staff recommended forwarding a recommendation of approval to the state licensing agency.

During the public hearing on the application, no members of the audience spoke. A councilmember moved to recommend approval and a second was recorded; the motion passed unanimously.

Why it matters: A Series 12 license authorizes sale of liquor for consumption on the premises in the context of a restaurant. The council’s recommendation is advisory to the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control, which issues and conditions licenses under state law.

Next steps: The town’s recommendation will be transmitted to the state agency for final licensing action.
