The council opened and closed a public hearing Oct. 15 and recommended approval of an application for a Series 10 beer-and-wine store liquor license for a 7-Eleven franchise (applicant Maheshwar Fuyal, license application 711#46258A) at 8080 North Oracle Road.

Town staff confirmed the applicant submitted required paperwork and paid fees, the premises was posted for 20 days as required by state law with no protests filed, and the Oro Valley Police Department reported no objections following its background check. Councilmember Green moved to recommend issuing the license to the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control; the motion was seconded by Councilmember Murphy and passed 7–0.

The council’s action is a recommendation to the state agency that issues liquor licenses; final licensing authority rests with the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control.
