Lake Havasu City Council members on Tuesday reviewed a set of license applications and recommended state agencies approve several liquor licenses and a bingo license.
The council considered a series of liquor and gaming license applications at public hearings. In each case staff reported that posting requirements were met, fees paid and no objections had been received.
Licenses and action taken:
- Summerway Wine Bar & Local Eatery, 2097 McCulloch Blvd. N., #100 — staff reported compliance; council moved to recommend the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control approve a Series 7 (beer and wine bar) license; motion carried 7‑0.
- Occido (restaurant adjacent to Rusty's), 950 Lake Havasu Ave. N., #104 — staff reported compliance; council moved to recommend ADLC approve a Series 12 (restaurant) license; motion carried 7‑0.
- Juicy's, 42 Smoketree Ave. S. — staff reported compliance; council moved to recommend ADLC approve a Series 12 (restaurant) license; motion carried 7‑0.
- Siddhartha's Garden, 2127 Swanson Ave., #101 — staff reported compliance; council moved to recommend ADLC approve a Series 7 (beer and wine) license; motion carried 7‑0.
- Lake Havasu City Community Center, 100 Park Ave. — staff presented a Class A bingo application for games on Tuesdays through Saturdays; council moved to recommend the Arizona Department of Revenue approve the Class A bingo license; motion carried 7‑0.
Why it matters: These are ministerial recommendations to state licensing authorities based on staff review; the council's actions forward the applications to the appropriate state agencies for final approval.
What was said: Licensing staff told the council, "All posting requirements have been met. All fees have been paid, and no objections were received," for each application.
What's next: The council's motions are recommendations to the state. The actual licenses will be issued by the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control or the Arizona Department of Revenue, as applicable, following their reviews.
