City Clerk’s Office Item # Q-2
Background Paper for Proposed
Resolution
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: September 26, 2016
TO: President Stephen G. Nawrocki and Members of City Council
CC: Sam Azad, City Manager
VIA: Gina Dutcher, City Clerk
FROM: City Clerk’s Office
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION ADOPTING A FEE SCHEDULE FOR LIQUOR AND BEER
LICENSE APPLICATIONS AND PERMITS AND REPEALING RESOLUTION NO.
13202
SUMMARY:
The proposed Resolution incorporates a provision for lodging and entertainment license
registered manager fees, fees for an additional liquor-licensed drugstore license pursuant to
C.R.S. § 12-47-408(1)(b), and restates all other fees with respect to liquor or beer license
applications and permits as previously adopted by Resolution No. 13202.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On January 14, 2008, Council adopted Resolution No. 11198 which established an increased fee
schedule for the processing of certain liquor and beer license applications pursuant to Senate Bill
97-149 and C.R.S. § 12-47-505. These changes were intended to memorialize the actual costs
incurred by a municipality to process liquor and beer license applications as determined by the
Legislative Task Force created by the Colorado Municipal Clerk’s Association and the Colorado
Municipal League.
On March 23, 2015, City Council adopted resolution No. 13202, which established a fee for art
gallery permits, a newly enacted law, and restated all other fees from Resolution No. 11198.
BACKGROUND:
During the most recent legislative session, the State Legislature enacted Senate Bill 16-197, which
amended C.R.S. § 12-47-505 to permit a local licensing authority to set fees for an additional liquor-
licensed drugstore license pursuant to C.R.S. § 12-47-408(1)(b). The State Legislature also
enacted House Bill 16-1439 and created a new license, the lodging and entertainment license, and
permitted the local licensing authority to set a fee for the registration of a manager under that license.
The proposed Resolution incorporates fees for an additional liquor-licensed drugstore license, to
register a manager for a lodging and entertainment license, and restates all other fees which are
currently assessed with respect to liquor and beer license applications and permits. It is necessary
to include these fees because local businesses or individuals may desire to apply for these licenses.
The establishment of a fee for them will ensure that the City is compensated for the expenses
associated with processing the same.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The City incurs costs with respect to the processing of liquor and beer license applications, including
but not limited to, salary, benefits and office supplies. The proposed application fees will cover the
actual costs incurred by the City for processing liquor and beer license applications.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Staff and the Liquor and Beer Licensing Board recommend adoption of the Resolution.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council could decline to enact the proposed Resolution and the City Clerk’s Office would
not be authorized to charge an application fee for an additional liquor-licensed drugstore license
pursuant to C.R.S. § 14-47-408(1)(b), or for the registration of a manager under a lodging and
entertainment license. This alternative is not recommended.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Resolution.
