LIQUOR The City Clerk reviewed her report dated March 17, 2011 recommending LICENSE that the Council call for a public hearing to consider an increase in the FEES 2011 On -Sale Liquor License fee and the On -Sale Wine License fee. She explained that for the past five years, the Council's policy has been to increase these fees a percentage equal to the gross levy increase. That 5- year policy ended with 2010, and staff is recommending an continuation of that policy. The Clerk noted that liquor license fees for On -Sale Sunday, Consumption & Display, and off -Sale Liquor License are regulated by State Law, and the City is at the maximum allowed. Staff is recommending no increase in the 2 a.m. Liquor License, On -Sale 3.2 Intoxicating Liquor License, or Off-Sale 3.2 Intoxicating Liquor License. Montour indicated that the system of tying liquor license increases to the percentage increase in the gross levy has worked well, and felt that that system should continue. He suggested that at the public hearing to consider the increase, discussion occur with the license holders about continuing this system for another five years. Mr. McGraw introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 2011 -3 -67 — CALLING A PUBLIC HEARING FOR WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 2011 AT 7:30 P.M.
