Take action on the following liquor license applications:  
Udon Shin  
*3-a  
A restaurant that serves lunch and dinner is requesting a new Series 12  
Restaurant License for Chasing Dragons LLC, 138 South Dobson Road  
Suite 108 - Huong Tram Le Truong, Agent. There is no existing license at  
this location. (District 3)  
Recommendation for Denial: Mesa City Staff recommend the City Council  
enter an order recommending disapproval of the liquor license application  
because public convenience and the best interests of the community will not  
be substantially served by issuing the license. The applicant has not  
obtained all necessary licenses and permits for which the applicant is liable  
at the time of the liquor license application. Specifically, the applicant has  
not obtained the following: (i) General Business License as required by Mesa  
City Code 5-5-3(A); (ii) Transaction Privilege Tax License as required by  
Mesa City Code 5-10-300(A) and; (iii) Fire Safety Operational Permit as  
required by Mesa City Code 7-2-2(a)(5) and the 2018 International Fire Code  
Section 105.1.1. Additionally, the applicant has current debts related to  
accounts maintained with the City and is thus ineligible to receive a new  
license, service, or benefit from the City pursuant to Mesa City Code  
1-32-200. The applicant has also not made the required alterations to the  
liquor application filed with the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses &  
Control and the City of Mesa to accurately reflect the ownership entity that is  
requesting a license. A yes vote for this item on the consent agenda will  
constitute City Council’s order recommending disapproval of the liquor  
license application. (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 4-201 and Ariz. Admin. Code §  
R19-1-702).  
University Market  
*3-b  
A convenience store and smoke shop is requesting a new Series 9 Liquor

(AVL) to standardize vehicle tracking and telematics data gathering for  
city-owned vehicles. The platform embraces and implements “Application  
Rationalization” which aims to streamline technologies, a primary goal of the

function and reduce them down to a single application, making it easier to  
track, maintain, and integrate into desired dashboards for understanding  
vehicle locations and improved route efficiency. The project will be  
completed in two phases. Phase One includes approximately 1,200  
city-owned vehicles and rolling stock (loaders, backhoes, etc.). Phase Two is  
expected to include approximately 983 city-owned vehicles. Phase Two is  
not included in the current dollar amounts and will be presented to Council  
for approval at a later date.  
A committee representing Fleet Services and the Department of Innovation  
and Technology and Procurement Services evaluated responses and  
recommend awarding the contract to the highest scored proposal from LB  
Technology, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $221,000 for Year 1 and an  
amount not to exceed $201,000 annually for years 2-10, with an annual  
increase allowance of up to 5% or the adjusted Consumer Price Index.

This contract will establish a list of qualified, pre-approved vendors who can  
provide various valves, fittings, hydrants, and repair parts stocked in the  
Materials and Supply warehouse. These materials support Water Resources  
maintaining the City’s water distribution system including City-owned fire  
hydrants. The vendor that provides the lowest price, can meet the required  
delivery time frame, and has product availability will be selected.  
The Business Services Department and Procurement Services recommend  
awarding the contract to the lowest, responsive, and responsible bidders,  
Ferguson Enterprises, LLC dba Ferguson Waterworks; Fortiline, Inc. (a Mesa  
business); and Winwater Works Phoenix AZ Co. dba Winwater Works  
Phoenix at a combined total amount not to exceed $2,550,000 annually.
