Policies and Procedures
Administrative Hearing:
When all departments have responded to the City Manager in writing, the Hearing Officer will review each
department's recommendations and render a decision.
A. Approval. If the Hearing Officer determines the application meets the approval criteria and
insufficient information has been submitted that would justify denial, a decision to grant a letter of PCN can be made.
An Administrative Hearing will be held during which the applicant can submit any additional information not contained
on the application form. Once approved, the Hearing Officer notifies the applicant in writing that a determination of
"public convenience and necessity" has been made and the license should be granted. A copy of this determination letter
is also forwarded to the Alcoholic Beverage Control District Office and the impacted City departments.
B. Denial. If the Hearing Officer determines the application does not meet the conditions for
approval, the Hearing Officer will hold an Administrative Hearing where the Applicant may present oral communication
or other evidence supporting approval to the Hearing Officer.
If, after the Administrative Hearing, the Hearing Officer rules for denial, a written determination of denial is
mailed to the Alcohol Beverage Control District Office with a copy to the applicant. The Hearing Officer determination
is final unless the applicant files an appeal within the specified time period.
1) Appeal. The applicant can appeal a denial decision to the City Council within fifteen (15) working days
of the date of denial. An appeal is made by written notification to the City Clerk & Auditor and payment of a
$100.00 processing fee. The City Clerk & Auditor will schedule the Applicant to appear before the City Council within
a reasonable amount of time.
