Summary

Council referred the El Rancho LLC liquor-license application back to the Licensing, Hearing and Public Safety Committee after staff said the applicant meets minimum statutory requirements but the committee had recommended denial.

During reports the council considered a new license application from El Rancho LLC seeking to replace existing ownership at a New Jersey Avenue establishment. The city attorney told the council the applicant satisfies the minimum requirements under state and local law but that the committee recommended denial. The attorney advised that if the council denies an application it must state the basis for denial in the notice to the applicant.

Alder Rust moved to send the application back to the Licensing, Hearing and Public Safety Committee for further review; the council approved the referral. No final grant or denial decision was made at the meeting.
