It was noted at that time that many of the City's <br /> fees were well below the Metropolitan average. The City's liquor license <br /> structure was also discussed and the possible consequences of eliminating the <br /> $10, 000 cap on on-sale liquor licenses. Staff was directed to examine the <br /> costs associated with eliminating or raising the cap. Because liquor licenses <br /> were being examined for discussion, it was necessary to set a public hearing <br /> and send the appropriate notices to all on and off sale liquor licensees. <br /> Monday's public hearing will examine the City's overall license, permit and <br /> fee structure. <br /> Staff compared several of the categories under which the City issues <br /> licenses, permits or exacts a fee. Comparisons were made between the City's <br /> charges and those of area Metropolitan cities. Most of the comparison data <br /> was taken from the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities' annual <br /> Municipal License and Permit Survey, dated June, 1991 (the 1992 fee structur ! <br /> will not be released until Summer) . <br /> On Sale Liquor Licenses <br /> Current on sale liquor licenses (with cabarets) are calculated on the <br /> following formula: <br /> $5000- plus—$SS--for_each-squares-foot mor part thereof) -of -public area in <br /> excess of 4, 000 square feet, not to exceed $10, 000. <br /> Based on the calculation, the three establishments in this category paid the <br /> following for 1991/92 : <br /> Donatelle's $6, 983 .80 <br /> Roberts Off 10 8, 639.70 <br /> _Mermaid- 10-,-0-0-0 (Capped) <br /> Removal of the $10, 000 cap would result in changes in the license amount for <br /> only the Mermaid and would increase their license fee to $28,056.25. Removal <br /> of the cap is clearly not a realistic option. <br /> ci <br /> JECOMMENDATIONz - <br /> Sam a Orduno, City AdIinistrator <br />
