OFF THE DEEB END

On License Transfers One of the most frustrating problems confronting food and beverage EDWARD DEEB store operators with beer, wine and package liquor licenses (SDD’s and SDM’s) is the overly long delay in getting their licenses approved for transfer when either buying or selling a store. The problem is one ranging on a statewide basis, but with particularly long delays in Detroit. For example, if you buy or sell a store with these beverage licenses, the following are the things which create the delays. First, you must apply for the license from the Michigan Liquor Control Commission. Then, the MLCC sends inspectors to look over the store; then the City gets involved, in this case Detroit, and the City’s Board of Zoning Appeals must first approve the sale or transfer, only after the Detroit Police liquor inspectors check your place over, barring no citizen complaints. After all of the above is accomplished, then the applicant waits final action from the MLCC. In previous years, the entire process took no longer than two months on the average. Today, however, this process takes as long as eight to ten months in many cases, at least four months on the average. This lengthy process and delay is simply not fair to the retailer either buying or selling, and can be greatly expedited for all concerned. The Associated Food Dealers has, on several occasions, expressed our concern to the MLCC. the Dept, of Commerce, the Governor, etc., but to little avail. They claim it is a lack of staff caused by inadequate budgets to hire the people to get the job done. Aside from staff, we recommend the MLCC turn over the store inspections to the police department of various cities, to avoid duplication of efforts. This would save the state considerable expenses. Secondly, it is recommended that Michigan adopt a license transfer procedure similar to that of California. In California, the state liquor commission issues a temporary" permit within two weeks of receipt of the application. The new owner is then permitted to operate the store. The formal paperwork may take longer, but at least the new owner is into the business especially helpful if he is not working. Although this approach may be a little costlier than in Michigan, with the new license fee and other savings here this should help cover such costs. Of course, it is realized that when government keeps getting bigger it becomes more difficult to be flexible and sensitive. But in this case, where the state SDD’s and SDM’s are helping bring in a big share of revenue for Michigan, we think licenses should be transferred far more quickly than at present.
