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.
