This survey shows that the liquor license fees charged by the City of Lino Lakes is in the bottom third of the survey. This indicates that the City Council could consider raising the liquor license fees. Mrs. Anderson also indicated that many municipalities are basing on -sale liquor license fees on square footage or the type of business requesting the license. The City of Lino Lakes is restricted to six (6) on - sale liquor licenses based on the 1990 federal census. Mrs. Anderson explained that off -sale liquor license fees are based on population. At this time the City could raise the off - sale fee from $100.00 to $150.00. An ordinance amendment is required for this action. The City Council will be receiving a request from two (2) of the off -sale liquor license holders to amend the off -sale liquor ordinance to restrict the number of off -sale licenses that can be issued by the City and also to limit the locations of the off - sale liquor stores. Their requests will probably be submitted to the City Council at the March 8, 1993 City Council meeting. Mrs. Anderson asked the City Council to review all of the material that she has prepared.
