Each business location licensed under this chapter must have an individual identified
as a general manager as that term is defined in this chapter. Beginning June 1, 1987,
each applicant for a liquor license, and each licensee, shall for each licensed location
submit with the application for a liquor license the name of the general manager who
resides within the geographic boundaries of Clark County. It is the responsibility
of the liquor license applicant to submit a completed application for a determination
of suitability as key employee. The "key employee" application submitted may be for
a different individual than originally identified as the general manager filed at
the time the initial license application was submitted to the department pursuant
to Section 8.20.030. If the general manager is a person other than the licensee, the general manager
shall be investigated and be approved by the board. The general manager must meet
all the requirements for licensure as required in Section 8.20.080 and be qualified in alcohol management as is set out in Section 8.20.055. Manager suitability may be revoked for the same grounds as a license may be revoked
pursuant to Section 8.20.570. If the licensee has more than one alcohol distribution point, the general manager
need not be qualified in alcohol management as required in Section 8.20.055 if his designee having responsibility for all alcohol service is so qualified. A
licensee is responsible, in so far as licensing consequences are concerned, for all
acts, errors and omissions of his employees, agents and servants, including the general
manager. A general manager may act as the key employee for no more than eight license
locations at one time, provided those businesses are located within the same general
geographic area of Clark County that allows the manager to physically respond to each
business within a reasonable amount of time, unless otherwise determined by the director
of the board based upon the nature of the complexity of the business operations.
