The
Police Department recommends disapproval of this liquor license application for
the following reasons:
- There are
possible hidden ownership concerns:
During a review of the state liquor license application for
Section 13 question 4 asks “If the premises are leased give leasers
name: “Mr. Warda answered this with “35th
When asked about indebtedness for this location Mr. Warda
answered “Zero.”
On the city application question 9 asks “How much was paid for the
business and the source of funds used to pay for this business.” Mr. Warda answered with $2,500.00 which came from personal
savings with “Zero” debt.
This location was originally licensed, # 100774376, and owned by Rokd Group LLC whose members included Britton Lee. It was
purchased for $1.5 million dollars and later sold to Albert Gorais
Odesho, brother in law of Imad
Warda, for $1.8 million dollars. Mr. Odesho obtained financing and later became delinquent on
payments with his bank for this location.
During a conversation with Mr. Odesho he
related Mr. Lee worked with Mr. Odesho’s bank and
purchased the property back in July 2009. Mr. Odesho
paid $9,760.00 a month for three months to avoid the foreclosure and to stay in
business.
Mr. Odesho and Mr. Lee did not report this
incident to the DLLC or AZ Corporation commission within the required time
frame, selling beer and wine under Mr. Odesho’s
liquor license, #10075063 since July 2009. Mr. Imad Warda disclosed on his application he has been working at
this location since September 2004 and later confirmed this.
In November 2009, Mr. Lee, owner of the property, known as Quality
Gasoline, evicted Mr. Odesho and has allowed beer and
wine to be sold there with Mr. Odesho’s license.
A record of this unreported business transaction was documented on
Phoenix Police report #2009-92011452.
On
When asked about the purchase price he told us he purchases the
inventory for $2,000.00 from Britton Lee. He later admitted he was in debt to
Britton Lee for $50,000.00 and was the deal for leasing the property. Mr. Warda wanted to consult with his lawyer on this
matter.
Due to the fact Britton Lee is the current owner of
The applicant has failed to make full financial
disclosure:
As described above, the applicant failed to provide a full financial
disclosure and disclosures provided were confusing. No financial documents
regarding sources of income were provided even upon request.

The applicant explained that she had knowledge of the judgment from Limb
Investors but did not agree with the judgment and has no plans to pay it. The
applicant also has no pending legal action to reverse the judgment. The
applicant also said that she is aware of the origin of the other two liens but
also does not think they are just and has no plans of paying them. There is no
pending legal action to reverse either of the two judgments.
·
Additional reasons
for disapproval include:
The applicant explained that the situation surrounding the $25,000
judgment from Limb Investors was due to a Child Care business that she had
purchased and was operating under the previous owner’s child care license. When
this license was no longer valid the applicant was unable to obtain a current
license to operate the establishment. Due to the fact that she could not
operate the child care facility; she was unable to pay the building lease. The
non payment of the lease resulted in the $25,000 judgment.
The lease was at

When Mr. Johnson was
asked to provide his address during a meeting on July 28, he provided the
Peralta address. During a subsequent phone conversation on July 29, Mr. Johnson
said he had been contacted by Mr. Southard and advised that someone had stopped
by asking about him. Mr. Johnson said he did live at the Peralta address but he
has not stayed there for approximately three months. Mr. Johnson claims that he
does not have a residence but stays with girlfriends. He was unable to provide
an address for his current residence. Mr. Johnson was asked why he claimed that
he owned the Peralta property and he responded that the application was
completed by his lawyer and he did not tell him that he owned the house. Mr.
Johnson said that he did not read the application prior to signing it in front
of a notary even though the application says, “I have read this questionnaire
and all statements are true, correct and complete”.
— The applicant has failed to make a full
financial disclosure:
On question nine of
the city questionnaire, Mr. Johnson stated that $60,000 was paid for the
business and the source of these funds was personal savings. During a meeting
with Mr. Johnson on July 28, he claimed the personal savings were earned
through the sale of his last home located at

Mr. Johnson provided was the sale of the home at 7515
Mr. Johnson did not
provide any further documentation of any type of income. During our phone
conversation, Mr. Johnson claimed that the money from the sale of his previous
home was used to start his own line of alcoholic beverages called Naturell and was not used to start his wholesale business.
Mr. Johnson claims to be looking for investors to fund the wholesale business
but at the time of this application, none have been secured. Mr. Johnson was
unable to provide a source of income to pay the $700.00 per month lease payment
for the building.
Mr. Johnson has not
proven himself to be reliable due to the fact that he falsified his application
by failing to document numerous arrests and convictions within the last ten years.
Mr. Johnson also claimed his residence was a location that he admitted he has
not stayed at in at least three months and failed to provide a current place of
residence. When confronted with this information, Mr. Johnson claims that his
lawyer filled out the application incorrectly and he did not review it prior to
signing the document in front of a notary affirming that the document was
correct and true.
Mr. Johnson has also
not proven himself to be capable, qualified or reliable due to his inability to
make a full financial disclosure. The financial documentation provided was from
2005 and 2006 however, Mr. Johnson filed for food stamps in 2008, and received
the assistance until 2009. Mr. Johnson later claimed that the financial
documentation was for the startup for his liquor brand but he is still looking
for investors to fund the wholesale business.
For all of the above
mentioned reasons, the applicant has failed to demonstrate the capability,
qualifications and reliability required of a liquor licensee in the State of

INNOVATION |
Due to existing economic challenges, the City must develop and implement innovative processes that result in more efficient delivery of services, while at the same time maximize the use of limited taxpayer dollars. Initiatives by other dynamic organizations to identify and promote innovation and continuous improvement have resulted in improved service delivery at the most effective cost.
This item is for information only. No City Council action is required.
Action Taken:
City Manager David Cavazos stated the Innovation and Efficiency Task Force would provide a brief overview and ask for City Council input. Mr. Cavazos indicated innovation and efficiency would take place everyday, concentrating on department core missions, cost reductions, and maintaining services through streamlining and consolidation. He discussed two phases of consolidations. Mr. Cavazos commented the City would significantly decrease the number of departments within the next twelve to eighteen months. Mr. Cavazos noted department consolidations would be presented to Council for approval.
Councilwoman Neely left the meeting

Mr. Cavazos introduced the task force Co-Chairs, Director of Aviation Danny Murphy and Public Transit Director Debbie Cotton. Mr. Murphy indicated the City Manager had created this task force to address current economic challenges. Mr. Murphy noted four additional action subcommittees had been created and would meet with the task force every other week.
Ms. Cotton indicated

Identify and implement process improvements and
efficiencies in service delivery
·
Identify methods to move beyond cost recovery to
revenue enhancement
·
Identify Core Mission of City departments and
examine opportunities for Public/Private Partnerships
·
Review organizational structures and recommend
consolidations
Ms. Cotton stated the members of the Innovation and Efficiency Task Force consisted of fifteen operating departments. Ms. Cotton added the Task Force would also conduct outreach to the community to incorporate their ideas. Ms. Cotton stated the task force would return to Council with short-, mid-, and long-term updates.
Mayor Gordon asked that the Task Force bring forward recommendations for Council vote before the short-, mid-, or long-term updates. Mr. Murphy added the Task Force would also be meeting every other week with the City Manager who would provide updates for the Council.
Mayor Gordon commented the City had been addressing new innovations and efficiencies for some time. He asked how much money had been saved since last March. Mr. Cavazos replied innovations and efficiencies had been taking place since the 1950s when the Charter was reformed. He added $20 million had been saved since last March due to innovations and efficiencies.
Mayor Gordon asked how much money had departments been able to save over the last four months. Mr. Cavazos replied departments had saved $37 million.
Mayor Gordon asked that the Task Force provide an ongoing report that contained all recommendations including the rejected ones. Both Ms. Cotton and Mr. Murphy agreed.
Councilman Gates thanked the Task Force members for their efforts and the City Manager for its creation. He also asked the Task Force to consider locally owned businesses and contractors when considering privatization.
Councilwoman Williams asked the Task Force to involve retired executives from the private sector to attain their perspective and feedback. She added the Task Force should consider inviting retired executives to the Task Force meetings. Councilwoman Williams also asked that the Task Force consider appropriateness and balance when considering implementing cost recovery for services.
Councilman Mattox stated his support to incorporate private sector executives in the Task Force. He asked that the Task Force look at the vendor-approved list to add more cost-effective vendors. He also asked that the task force find a way for the City to participate in its own Request for Proposal process similar to the Solid Waste Managed Competition.
Councilwoman Williams left the meeting at
Councilman Johnson stated his support for small and local businesses in the potential pursuit of privatizing City services. He added he would like to see the Task Force research the option of conducting professional and contractual services in-house, review departmental charges and make them more reasonable, centralize bulk item purchases in an attempt to reduce cost, and explore areas of expertise where the City would be a regional service provider to smaller municipalities.
Councilman Johnson left the meeting at
Councilman DiCiccio asked if members of the private sector would be a part of the Innovation and Efficiency Task Force. Mr. Murphy explained the Task Force would initially include City Manager Office representatives and Department/Function Heads, with a separate group conducting outreach to bring in the community and private sector input.
Mayor Gordon expressed concern involving the business community due to potential conflict of interest. City Attorney Gary Verburg indicated the appointment of private sector members to a working committee by City Council would convert it into a subcommittee that would have to abide by open meeting law rules.
Councilman DiCiccio stated it would be beneficial to make the Innovation and Efficiency Task Force a subcommittee so that the public could be a part of the Task Force.
Councilwoman Neely stated the City specialized in many areas in which smaller cities would be willing to pay for those services and benefit from the City’s help. She expressed her interest in the City becoming a regional service provider. Councilwoman Neely noted her support for utilizing City staff’s expertise in addressing efficiency savings.
Councilwoman Neely left the meeting
at
Mayor Gordon commented the City was successful because it evaluated innovation and efficiencies before proceeding. He added City cuts to service costs and salaries will impact the level of customer service and privatization should be considered more than just a low-cost benefit.

BUDGET UPDATE |
Staff: Zuercher, Gleason |
This report provides
additional information to the Mayor and City Council on the Public Safety
Specialty Funds and the General Fund financial transactions that will be
included in the budget-balancing proposal.
* This item is for
information, discussion and possible action.
Action Taken:
Budget and Research Director Cathy Gleason provided a budget update
regarding Public Safety Specialty Funds.
Ms. Gleason indicated current sales tax collections have not been enough
to cover current cost of existing Police and Fire Department positions, leaving
these funds structurally out of balance.
Ms. Gleason indicated a preliminary balancing plan had been developed to
balance these funds by June 2012, noting positions would need to be reduced by
January 2011. She added other factors and
actions that would reduce the need for layoffs in these funds included
reduction of employee costs, achieving sales tax collections above projections,
and adding new revenue. Ms. Gleason
stated staff recommended preparation of further analysis over the summer after
the General Fund budget was balanced and labor costs and specialty fund revenue
changes were known. She added staff
would return in early fall with final recommendations to adopt a contingency
policy and proposed number of layoffs necessary to balance the budget by June
2012. Ms. Gleason explained projected
attrition rates had not been reached within the Police Department, adding there
were two possible solutions that included additional cuts to the Police
Department’s budget and/or employee concessions in the current year.
*Mayor Gordon asked the following questions: 1) what was the average
salary for a police officer; 2) what percentage of employee cost pertained to
Public Safety; 3) was Public Safety’s salary tax earmarked for protection; and
4) how many protected Public Safety positions were in the General Fund. Ms. Gleason replied Public Safety costs made
up seventy percent of the General Fund budget with the cost of an average sworn
public safety officer being over $120,000 in salary and benefits. She stated Public Safety’s salary was
protected. Lastly, she explained there
were about 5,000 Police and Fire Department positions in the General Fund.
Mayor Gordon asked if the City eliminated every department to balance
the budget, protecting Public Safety, would the City have the ability to keep
operating. Ms. Gleason replied no.
Ms. Gleason indicated an estimated $95 million in General Fund
financial transactions is recommended to help balance the budget over the next
two years. She explained some of the
financial transactions included the following:
- Reduced contributions to reserve funds
- Debt service restructuring
- Lease-purchase financing for essential
fleet replacement
- Move property tax from secondary to
primary to pay for tort claims
- Reduce pay-as-you-go capital
- Health insurance premium holiday
Ms. Gleason also noted expenditures were exceeding revenue collections
and that the City would mostly likely not have access to these one-time
financial transactions in the future.
Councilman Gates asked if the financial transactions included the
current fiscal year and the following year.
Ms. Gleason replied the financial transactions had been evenly split
between this fiscal year and next year.
Councilman Gates
asked about the Specialty Fund reductions, noting they did not appear to be
evenly distributed. Ms. Gleason
responded that was correct due to vacancies and future changes. Mr. Zuercher added
Police positions took longer to fill than Fire positions. Councilman Gates clarified Police and Fire
Department Specialty funding would not be addressed until February or
March. Ms. Gleason replied that was
correct.
Councilman Gates
asked if City Council policy and decisions could impact specialty fund
revenues. City Manager David Cavazos
replied revenues from the food tax could go directly to specialty funds.
