Annual City Manager Conference <br /> Samantha and I were at Cragun's last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for the <br /> annual City Managers Conference. The speakers were good and the weather even <br /> better. I literally tore up the golf course. They should sell grounds repair insurance. <br /> Liquor License Meeting <br /> In response to Ed Donetelle's request to the Council for the City to reexamine the <br /> liquor license fee structure for on-sale with cabaret, a meeting was called and held at <br /> Donetelle's. Ed was present along with Charlie Hall of the Mermaid and Bob Waste of <br /> Roberts off 10. Cathy Bennett and I listened to their concerns and possible policy <br /> options. The options discussed were 1) leave the fee structure as is ($5,000 + <br /> $85/100 sq. ft. of public area in excess of 4,000 sq. ft. not to exceed $10,000/yr.); 2) <br /> base the fee on the number of police calls made annually; 3) base the fee on volume <br /> of liquor sold or gross receipts of liquor sales; 4) base fee on sq. footage of area <br /> where liquor is served and area where food and liquor are served; and 5) a <br /> combination of all of the above. These options will be brought to the June work <br /> session for Council consideration and discussion. <br /> Tim C. <br /> PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY <br /> PARKS: <br /> * Already Steve has had to repair the Hustler mower and the Howard Price. <br /> Again, these two mowers are up for replacement in 1995.
