5. Ordinance 1282 - Beer/Wine License Fee - 1st ReadingAgenda -February 17, 1998
AGENDA ITEM 5 -ORDINANCE 1282-BEER/WINE LICENSE FEE -1ST READING
BACKGROUND/CONSIDERATION: As you know, the state has allowed a new type of license
for the restaurants. By lottery and population of a City, a limited number of these licenses are
available within the cities.
The State has set $400 as the cost of the license. The City needs to adopt by ordinance this fee to
enable us to collect the fee. The City Attorney has compiled Ordinance 1282 to authorize the fee and
collection by the City.
RECOMMENDATION: This is a formality to enable us to legally collect the established fee. I
recommend approval of Ordinance 1282.
ACTION REQUIRED: The approval through the normal process of two readings is needed.
