MEMO TO: Mayor McMenomy Councilmembers Willcox,Wippermann, Staats, Klassen FROM: Susan Walsh, Administrative Assistant DATE: August 20, 1993 SUBJ: Proposed Increa.ses to Liquor Licenses Below you willfmd summaries of my reasons for recommending increa.sed fees of certain liquor licenses. For each af the license fees, I've listed fees af sunounding communities and cities of similar population. Flease be advised our fees have not been increased since 19$9. On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor License Fee: I am recommending a 10% increase from $2500 to $2750. Other cities' fees: Apple Valley: $4200, $5250, $6300/Sa1es Hastings: $2400 Burnsville: $5000 Mound: $4000 Eagan: $4000 Savage: $?SOt} IGH: $3800 Prior Lake: $5150 Mendota Hts: $10000 Even though Rosemount willstill be considerably lower than the above cities, I feel an increase of more than 10% increase would not be fair to aur license holders. Also, the legislature recently amended the sta.tute concerning the amount which a city may charge for on-sale liquor licenses. The city must consider that the "license fee is intended to cover the cost af issuing, inspecting and other directly related costs of enforcement." The cost of enforcement would include the arnount of police time spent on patrol or otherwise making calls to our licensed businesses. I feel a 10% increase more than justifies increases in city costs aver a four year period. ' This increase would effect license holders for Last Call Bar &Grill,City Limits and Shenanigans. On,Sale Wine License: I am recommending a 20% increa.se fr4m $300 to $36Q. Other' cities' fees: Apple Valley: $1050 Mendota. Hts. $2000 Burnsville: $ 750 Mound; $ 200 IGH; $ 650 Savage; $ 200 Hastings: $2001 Prior Iake; $1250 Rosemount currently has no on-sale wine licensees, but I fee2 a $64 increase willkeep this fee is in line with our other license fees. , , Off-Sale 3.2% Non-Intoxicating Liquor License: I am recommending slightly more than a 20% increase from $30 to $40. Other cities' fees: Apple Valley: $$0 Hastings: $40 Bumsville: $6Q Mendota. Hts: $10 Eagan: $70 Mound: $20 IGH: $50 Prior Lake: $50 Savage: $30 The two Tom Thurnb stores and the Haliday store hold aff-sale 3.2 beer licenses. The staff time involved in sending out applications, processing applications and issuing licenses more than justifies the $10 increase. On-Sale 3.2% Non-Intoxicating Liquor License : I am recommending a 20% increa.se from $150 to $180. Other cities' fees: Apple Valley: $420 Mendota. Hts: $150 Burnsville: $400 Mound: $200 Eagan: $250 Savage: $200 IGH: $275 Prior Lake: $200 Hastings: $120 Current holders of licenses are Pizza Hut, Rich Valley Golf Course and Brockway Golf. An adjustment has not been made to this fee for four years, and i feel an $30 increase is not out of line. Temporary On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor License Fee: I am recommending the city go from charging a flat fee of$100 for a three day permit to $35 per day. The license is only good for three days so the maximum fee would be $105. Other cities' fees: Burnsville: $ 25/day Eagan: $150 Hastings: $ 5 Mound: $ 25 ` There is limited information on this since many cities do not issue this license. Normal applicants for this license are the VFW for the tractor pull, American Legion for its chicken Bar-B-Que and the Chamber for its annual Shamrock Awards dinner. This license can only be issued to a club, or charitable religious or nonprofit organization. I feel the $35/day is a more reasonable fee since these groups usually want the license for one day. Liquor License Applicati4n Amendment Fee: Include a new fee of$50 for amendments to nan-intaxicating and intoxica.ting liquor licenses caused by change of off'icers or ownership interest of a corporaxion, or when an applicant wants to transfer his license from one place to another. This fee would also be charged when an application is amended beca.use of an enlargement or substantial alteration of the licensed premises. 2
