MINUTES CITY COUNCIL MAY 24, 2006 RENEWAL OT LIQUOR AND TOBACCO LICENSES increases, that those increases be based on the Gross Levy increase as it is amore accurate reflection of the City's added cost of doing business. It was the consensus of the Council Yhat if [here is a negative Gross Levy increase, these liquor license fees would not be decreased. Keis stated that he had no problem with tying these liquor license fee increases to the Gross Levy increase unless there was a significant increase in the cost of administering liquor licenses. If so, Keis felt that the issue should then be revisited and the cost passed on to the license holder. LaValle recommended that these license fees not be increased for 2006 renewals, and the policy for tying the increase to the Gross Levy begin with 2007 renewals. Blesener suggested that given the last increase occurred in 2004, that the new policy begin with Che 2006 renewals. This would mean a 2.54% increase to the On-Sale Liquor License Fee of $3,500 and a 2.54% increase to the On-Sale Wine License Fee of $500. It was noted thaC the Public Hearing held earlier this year on these liquor license increases was tabled. Therefore, the consensus of the Council was to reconvene Che Pubic Hearing at the June 14'h Council meeting to discuss the proposed increase with license holders.
