The Navajo County Board of Supervisors approved two beer-and-wine liquor-license applications on Thursday, forwarding both to the state licensing authority with local recommendations.

The board approved an application from Jeffrey Craig Miller for a beer-and-wine license for the 4 S Barn at 7863 White Mountain Lake Road in Show Low'area, with a condition suggested by a supervisor that the applicant bring delinquent taxes current as part of the county's approval process. Planning, health and sheriff's offices had indicated the application met their department requirements; the treasurer's office reported the second-half property taxes were unpaid and past due.

The second approval was for Aaron Thomas James, for a new beer-and-wine license at AJ's Getaway RV Park, 3537 Buckskin Road in Overgaard. County departments, including the sheriff, health and planning, had responded with approvals and the required public posting had been completed. Both approvals were adopted by voice vote.

County staff reminded the board that the state ultimately issues liquor licenses and that local approvals and conditions are forwarded to the State of Arizona for final licensing action.
