• Evaluate floor plans and blue prints of proposed outlets. Analyze their sufficiency to meet OLCC operating requirements and the applicant's operating proposal. Works with Compliance to determine appropriate minor postings.
• Write clear, complete reports that summarize investigative facts, evaluate and apply statutes, administrative rules and legal case precedent, and explain conclusion and recommendation.
• Testify on behalf of the Commission at administrative law hearings or in court trials.

• Logs and tracks application and license actions; communicates with applicants and licensees on status; updates database with workflow actions; adheres to policies and process for license timelines and action.
• Answer inquiries on licensing through routine contacts – such as emails, officer of the day - workshops or participation in public meetings, provide information and training to educate members of the public, applicants, licensees, and governmental officials about OLCC statutes, rules and processes.
• Confers with and refers violation matters to compliance staff.

What will you do?
Ensure that qualified applicants receive liquor licenses by conducting a background investigation; educating, training and assisting applicants, licensees and the public in all aspects of liquor licensing – rules, statutes, policies and licensing standards, etc.. Licensing specialists use discretionary judgment to plan the scope and direction of investigations from receipt of the application or change through to completion/withdrawal/inactivation. Investigations include an analysis of the ownership, operation, management of the prospective business, the applicant's operating proposal, an analysis of the applicant's OLCC compliance history and business location (if previously licensed), an analysis of the impact of the proposed operation on the community, and a recommendation on granting, restricting, or denying the license. Applications are often controversial and sensitive in nature because of widespread critical opinion about such issues as neighborhood impact, drug and alcohol problems, and organized crime. The licensing specialist acts as liaison and mediator to local government bodies, neighborhood groups, law enforcement agencies, and applicants.

Analyze and evaluate routine and complex business structures, business operating plans, and other business documents to determine ownership or identify potential non-compliance issues.
Identify and apply relevant statutes, rules, case law, Attorney General Opinions and Commission policy to relevant facts. Analyze facts to determine eligibility and make a recommendation to grant or deny license. Evaluate floor plans and blue prints of proposed outlets. Analyze their sufficiency to meet OLCC operating requirements and the applicant's operating proposal. Works with Compliance to determine appropriate minor postings.
Write clear, complete reports that summarize investigative facts, evaluate and apply statutes, administrative rules and legal case precedent, and explain conclusion and recommendation. Testify on behalf of the Commission at administrative law hearings or in court trials. Distribute license applications and instructing applicants in how to complete the forms. Determine appropriate fees and issue licenses and authorities to operate. Request refunds from finance for overpayment of license fees, with approval from management. Enters application and license actions in database; records workflow process; ensures completeness and accuracy of applicant/licensee information – name, address, etc. Logs and tracks application and license actions; communicates with applicants and licensees on status; updates database with workflow actions; adheres to policies and process for license timelines and action.
Answer inquiries on licensing through routine contacts – such as emails, officer of the day - workshops or participation in public meetings, provide information and training to educate members of the public, applicants, licensees, and governmental officials about OLCC statutes, rules and processes. Confers with and refers violation matters to compliance staff. Communicates with people of diverse cultural, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Recommends new policy to better serve the public, law enforcement community, liquor industry, and government and special interest groups. Reviews and makes recommendations on proposed or revised administrative rules. Mentors, trains and provides oral and/or written reports on new investigators.
