Hanson, City Administrator <br />RE: Liquor License Fees <br />MAYOR <br />Raymond G. Hanson <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve MoreIan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />Attached are spreadsheet analyses of the costs associated with providing public <br />services to liquor license holders as well as the taxes and fees they pay. While one <br />could argue that the comparison between police costs and taxes paid seem <br />reasonable, it must be noted that many commercial entities generate no police calls, <br />Therefore, this relationship may not be a good comparison. <br />To have our licenses generate a comparable margin and given the costs associated <br />with their issuance as well as the fees of other cities, we feel fees should be adjusted <br />as follows: <br />On -Sale Non - Intoxicating <br />Off -Sale Non - Intoxicating <br />Off -Sale Intoxicating <br />Current Proposed <br />$80.00 <br />$40.00 <br />$100.00 <br />$100.00 <br />$100.00 <br />$150.00 <br />A public hearing would be necessary to increase these fees. (A 30 day notice <br />provision is required by Statute.) This should be held as soon as possible, in order <br />for any fee increases to be effective for upcoming liquor license renewals, <br />PAGE 63 <br />
