-8- <br />Mr. Tony Donatelle: We have the same problem you have got. Where <br />do you get $2,000 for cabaret? <br />Mayor Johnson: People that have dancing are probably creating an <br />environment that is going to be susceptible to more problems. <br />Albert Hardinger - 2375 Highway 10. <br />taxes also. $3500 in cabaret, 2 or <br />This is awful high in one year. We <br />Department rather than the housands <br />There's an increase in property <br />3 thousand in property taxes. <br />would pay the 18% in the Police <br />you are throwing at us. <br />Mayor Johnson: Perhaps we could raise the license fees annually <br />based upon our increased service costs. <br />Attorney Meyers: Nothing can prevent this. <br />Mayor Johnson: The rates are too low anyhow. This is an attempt <br />to place all licenses into a position that would appear to be reasonable <br />for the service rendered. <br />Mr. A. Hardinger: Between the cabaret and the liquor increase and <br />property increase, we are going to get it. An awful lot in one <br />year. We'll pay the average. Go over the metropolitan area and <br />arrive at a just figure. <br />Mayor Johnson: The places that had dancing had more problems <br />generally than the places that did not. So we arrived at the <br />cabaret license. <br />Mr. Chuck Hall - Mermaid Supper Club - Glad we have a chance to <br />talk. Your opening address was well put. You have a money problem. <br />There comes a point where you can't pay anymore. Speaking only for <br />myself, I think we want to be able to pay our fair share. I didn't <br />get this letter until 10:00 this morning. The license fees will <br />raise about $4500. This is quite a bit. Mounds View Police Dept. <br />is superior. If it is us that have to support them, I'll pay my <br />share. Two points were brought up at our Businessmen's Association <br />meeting this afternoon. Is there some way we could stay this <br />tonight and have a chance to look at it; look at what liquor people <br />are doing with police calls. See how many police calls to apartments <br />and to establishments. Why not make it fair to everyone -- take <br />it from all of us. <br />Mayor Johnson: Some licenses we have to take action on tonight <br />because they are coming due in January. This does not include <br />the cabaret. <br />
