INTRODUCED January 14, 2008 BY Judy Weaver Councilperson APPROVED. PRESIDENT OF THE CITY COUNCIL ATTESTED BY: ITY CLERK Rcs. III�S CD A CD Background Paper for Proposed RESOLUTION DATE: January 14, 2008 AGENDA ITEM # 9 DEPARTMENT: City Clerk's Office Gina Dutcher, MMC TITLE A RESOLUTION ADOPTING AN INCREASED FEE SCHEDULE FOR LIQUOR AND BEER LICENSE APPLICATIONS AND PERMITS AND REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. 8272 ISSUE Should the application and permit fees for liquor and beer licenses set forth in the Resolution be adopted? RECOMMENDATION Staff and the Pueblo Liquor and Beer Licensing Board recommend adoption of the Resolution. BACKGROUND The Colorado Municipal Clerk's Association, with the assistance of the Colorado Municipal League, created a Legislative Task Force to research and review the actual costs for a municipality to process liquor and beer license applications. A proposal concerning an increase in the amount of fees local jurisdictions are permitted to charge for alcohol beverage related applications was then presented to the State Legislators. In response to the proposal, the General Assembly of the State of Colorado enacted Senate Bill 97 -149, which increased the maximum fees that a local licensing body may charge for new licenses, renewals and transfer of ownership or location. The proposed Resolution incorporates these increased fees and restates all other fees that are assessed with respect to such matters. PROPOSED FEE SCHEDULE: (Not more than 90 days late) CURRENT 2/28/08 07/01/08 07/01/09 07/01/10 New License Application Fee $500.00 $625.00 $750.00 $850.00 $1,000.00 Transfer of Ownership $500.00 $625.00 $750.00 $750.00 $ 750.00 Timely Renewal $ 50.00 $ 75.00 $100.00 $100.00 $ 100.00 Late Renewal $500.00 $500.00 $500.00 $500.00 $ 500.00 (Not more than 90 days late) CURRENT 2/28/08 07/01/08 07/01/09 07/01/10 Temporary Permit Application $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 (Pending Transfer of Ownership) Manager's Registration $ 75.00 $ 75.00 $ 75.00 $ 75.00 $ 75.00 (Hotel and Restaurant) Manager's Registration $ 75.00 $ 75.00 $ 75.00 $ 75.00 $ 75.00 (Tavern) Background Check $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 (Corporation or LLC) FINANCIAL IMPACT The costs for the City (salary, benefits and office supplies) to process liquor related applications were much higher than the actual application fee being charged. It is anticipated that the proposed application fee increases will cover the actual costs for processing the beer and liquor license applications.
