CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT October 26, 2015 RETAIL LIQUOR LICENSE APPLICATION SUMMARY PREPARED BY: Karen Rimmer, City Clerk DATE: October 22, 2015 APPLICANT: Headstrong, LLC D/B/A Headstrong Brewery HISTORY/COMMENTS: Headstrong, LLC (Headstrong) submitted an application for the one available retail liquor license on October 5, 2015. All fees have been paid and all required attachments were provided. The application was reviewed by City Attorney, Eric Nelson; Chief of Police, Ron Casalenda; and by the Wyoming Liquor Division. The Liquor Division required clarification regarding the dispensing room description as well as an explanation concerning why the licensed dispensing room for the microbrewery was referenced for this application. The dispensing room description was corrected by the applicant; the application was resent and approved by the Liquor Division; and it was clarified for the State that the Headstrong wanted to demonstrate the location of the existing room in relation to the proposed room. At the time of the writing of this memo, no comments have been received in favor or opposition of this application from the public. Headstrong is also in good standing with the Wyoming Secretary of State’s office. Due to new requirements as a result of adopted Ordinance 970, all members owning 10% or more of Headstrong LLC were required to provide the City with a current copy of a criminal background check. Those individuals are Martin Roessing, Travis Lawhorn, and Joseph Larson, as indicated on the application itself. At the time of the writing of this memo, no criminal background reports have been received from the Department of Criminal Investigation, although all applicants have submitted the required paperwork and fees (payable to the Attorney General) for the reports to be produced. Please note that if Council chooses to approve this application, such approval would need to be contingent upon the receipt of criminal background reports for all members of Headstrong LLC as listed on the application and as approved by Chief Casalenda or his designee. Headstrong, LLC, currently holds a microbrewery permit. If they are approved for this retail liquor license, they intend to hold it in conjunction with the microbrewery permit. This is specifically allowed under W.S. 12-4-412(b)(iii)(A), which states in part: “The local licensing authority…may approve the dual holding of a microbrewery permit or winery permit and one (1) of the following: A retail liquor license as provided in W.S. 12-4-101 through 12-4-202”. If approved, the retail liquor license would have a separate dispensing room from the approved microbrewery dispensing room as depicted in the attached dispensing room drawing. The applicant also City Council Staff Report, Headstrong LLC Retail Liquor License Application Page 1 of 2 intends to sell package liquor from a separate room adjacent to the dispensing room, which does not require a separate dispensing room description or fee so long as the two rooms share a common wall. Headstrong will be providing Mayor and Council with commentary regarding their purpose in applying for this liquor license and will be able to answer any questions that may arise. CONCLUSION: Headstrong may be considered by Council, based upon Council-established criteria, for the available retail liquor license.
