- 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.
