MOUN-DIS, VVIEW <br />City of Mounds View Staff R1 <br />Item No: <br />Meeting Date: <br />Type of Business <br />City Administrator Review: <br />To: Honorable Mayor, and City Council <br />From: Nyle Zikmund, City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: City of Mounds View Liquor License Fees <br />Introduction: <br />06 <br />09/05/2023 <br />WS <br />As you know, the City of Mounds View reviews the City fee schedule once a year. <br />Because liquor license fees have not been reviewed/increased for many years, Staff is <br />requesting that the Council review these fees for a possible increase. <br />Discussion: <br />It appears that the first fee schedule the City has on file is from 1990. Since that time <br />the City has revised the liquor license fees only by adding or deleting fees. All fees <br />relating to non -intoxicating (3.2%) basically have been removed except for on- and off - <br />sale 3.2%, in which we only issue one license (Speedway for off -sale). Over the years <br />the City has added fees such as multiple brewer, growler sales and microdistillery <br />license fees, in which we have no licenses issued at this time. <br />It appears that the City of Mounds View has not revised/raised basic on- and off -sale <br />liquor license fees since 1990 except in 1994, on -sale was revised as follows: <br />1990 - $5,000 plus $85 per 100 square feet of public area not to exceed $10,000 per <br />year. <br />1995 - $0.65 per square foot for that space which is used primarily as bar area and <br />$0.53 per square foot for that space which is used primarily as dining area with a <br />minimum fee of $3,000 and a maximum fee of $10,000. <br />This is where the fee remains today. In 2019, off -sale intoxicating (liquor stores) went <br />from $200 to $260 and off -sale malt liquor/3.2 (Speedway) went from $100 to $200 <br />annually. <br />Fees for our four current on -sale intoxicating liquors licensees annually are as follows: <br />Mermaid <br />$10,000 License Fee <br />$200 Sunday Sales <br />$50 Renewal Background Check <br />Moe's <br />$3,000 License Fee <br />$200 Sunday Sales <br />$50 Renewal Background Check <br />AMC Theater <br />$4,500 License Fee <br />$200 Sunday Sales <br />$50 Renewal Background Check <br />Dos Hermanos <br />$3,000 License Fee <br />$200 Sunday Sales <br />$50 Renewal Background Check <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br />
