Summary

City licensing staff announced four license applications — a restaurant at 2217 University Boulevard, Citar's Indian Express at 1825 McFarland Boulevard N. Suite 250, Tony's Italian Grill at 6601 Highway 69 South, and Fastlane Mart at 1515 Twelfth Avenue — and told the council each will be considered through the ordinary ABC/licensing process.

City licensing staff told the council four businesses had applied for retail alcoholic-beverage licenses and will proceed through the standard licensing review.

The report matters because the licenses, if approved by the Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control processes and local review, determine whether those locations can sell beer and/or table wine on- or off-premises.

Antonius, the staff member who presented the list, said the first applicant (Lamaze, Fried and Frosty) applied for a restaurant retail liquor license at 2217 University Boulevard; he said the business has turned over several times in the past year. Antonius said Citar's Indian Express seeks retail beer and retail table wine on- or off-premises at 1825 McFarland Boulevard North, Suite 250, noting the applicant was approved last year but missed the ABC deadline so must reapply. He listed Tony's Italian Grill at 6601 Highway 69 South applying for retail beer and table wine on- or off-premises and Fastlane Mart at 1515 Twelfth Avenue applying for retail beer off-premises and retail table wine off-premises. Antonius said licensing staff will provide more details to the council when applicants appear before the council.

No council vote on licenses was recorded in the transcript; staff flagged turnover histories and prior missed deadlines as background. Applications will move forward under the city's licensing review and the state ABC timelines.
