In a recent special session of the Coconino County Board of Supervisors, a significant decision was made regarding a liquor license application for the Gilligan's Forest Lakes general store. The board unanimously approved a motion to recommend the transfer of the liquor license to the new owner, Amy Nations, following a change in ownership at the location on State Route 260.
During the meeting, Clerk of the Board Lindsay Daley presented the application, noting that the store had previously held a liquor license and that all necessary paperwork was in order. The application had been reviewed by various county departments, including community development and health services, with no objections raised. The sheriff's office also confirmed that the required postings were completed without any public comments against the application.
Supervisor Ontiveros, representing the district where the store is located, expressed his support for the recommendation, stating his familiarity with the liquor licensing process. The board's approval is a crucial step, as it allows the state to consider the application for final approval.
This decision reflects the board's commitment to supporting local businesses while ensuring that all regulatory processes are followed. The approval of the liquor license is expected to benefit the community by maintaining a familiar service in the area, contributing to the local economy. As the board continues to address community needs, this action highlights the importance of collaboration between local government and businesses in Coconino County.
