1 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Agenda Section: 7-5/94 90:00 •1 ~, STAFF REPORT Report Number: s.. AGENDA SESSION DATE July 5, 1995 Report Date: 6/30/94 DISPOSITION Item Description: Discussion Regarding Liquor Licensing Administrator's Review/Recommendation: - No comments to supplement this report J - Comments attached. Explanation/Summary (attach supplemen sheets as cessary.) SUMMARY; At the June, 1994 Council Worksession, five fee options that were developed with the three proprietors affected by the. City's on-sale with cabaret liquor license were presented to the Council for direction. At that time, Council directed staff to look further at the option that would base the liquor license fee on square footage that is primarily bar area and square footage that is primarily dining area. To determine the closest true cost possible for administering the fee, staff used the average cost of a police call to one of these establishments ($35/hr. x 1. 5 hr = $52 .50) plus the cost to administer the license and other indirect costs such as prosecution services ($2 . 50) for a total average cost per call of .$55. The Police Department provided staff with the number of calls for last year to help determine the total cost per establishment based on calls. Since it is impossible to determine what areas of an establishment drew police calls, for calculation purposes, 75% of the total calls were used for bar area and 25% for dining area. The total cost of servicing each establishment was then divided by the square footage of the bar area and dining area which yielded the multiplier used to determine the fee (multiplier x square ft. ) . The cost per call for the dining areas was reduced by 50% because less liquor is consumed in these areas. Following are the calculations for each establishment. 4's 0.41,011)( Tim Cruikshank, Asst. to City Admin. RECOMMENDATION:
