The gross levy increase for the <br />2008 Budget was 6.03 %. Therefore, based on that methodology, the following liquor <br />license fee increases are proposed by City staff: <br />Current Proposed <br />On -Sale Liquor License $3,700 $3,923 <br />On -Sale Wine License $535 $567 <br />The following liquor license fees are regulated by State Law, and Little Canada is at the <br />maximum it can charge for these fees: <br />On -Sale Sunday $200 <br />Consumption & Display $300 <br />State Law was recently changed to allow for an increase in the Off -Sale Liquor License <br />fee. The City was limited to maximum of $150 for this fee. State Law now allows a <br />maximum of $380 with a $100 reduction if conditions outlined in State Law are met (see <br />email from the State Alcohol & Gambling Enforcement Department). Staff recommends <br />the following increase for Off -Sale License: <br />Current Proposed <br />Off -Sale Liquor License $150 $380 <br />$280 if State Conditions met <br />1 <br />
