4. Ordinance 1282 - Beer/Wine License Fee - 2nd ReadingAGENDA ITEM 4 - ORDINANCE 1282-BEERJW INE LICENSE FEE-2ND READING BACKGROUND/CONSIDERATION: At the last meeting, we amended the ordinance to reflect a fee of 75 percent of the State license making the fee $300.00 (Three Hundred Dollars). At that time a council member inquired as to the need for a 2' reading of this amendment. After discussion with the City Attorney, we believe we should read this amended ordinance on a 2' individual reading to clarify the record. RECOMMENDATION: Since this item has been discussed at two prior meetings and the current license fee can be defended as equitable, I recommend the final approval of this ordinance. ACTION REQUIRED: The approval of the 2" d reading of the ordinance will complete the Council action for this item.
