The public hearing was <br />continued and action on this matter was tabled to give me an opportunity to look at the <br />issue and come back with a recommendation. <br />Based on my review of these fees, it is my recommendation that the On -Sale Liquor <br />License fee remain at $3,500 and the On -Sale Wine License fee remain at $500 for the <br />July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007 license year. It is also my recommendation that an <br />increase in these license fees for the 2007/2008 license year be set at a percentage <br />increase equal to the percentage increase in the City's Gross Levy amount for the 2007 <br />Budget. I would also recommend that we follow this same concept for the four <br />succeeding years as well (i.e. an increase tied to the gross levy increase for the <br />corresponding budget year). <br />I, therefore, request that the Council close the public hearing on this matter and adopt the <br />recommendation as outlined above. <br />H: \KathyG \Correspondence \Kathy 2006 \Liquor License Increase- 5- 24- 06.doc <br />
