SUBJ: Set 1997 Liquor License Fees
In February of each year the council establishes liquor license fees for the upcoming license
period. Our licensing period runs from May 1 to April. 30. Once the fees are established, license
holders will be notified of the renewal process and the council will act on specific license
requests in March.
As can be seen from the attached survey, Chanhassen's on -sale intoxicating liquor license fee
remains relatively high by comparison. In 1994 license fees were raised 4% in an effort to help
balance the budget. Fees were not increased in 1995 or 1996. Chanhassen's on -sale non-
intoxicating liquor license fee is fairly low, but when considering the only license holder in this
category (Bluff Creek Golf Association) only sells beer for several months per year, the fee
seems appropriate. The same can be said for the beer and wine license fee. No increase was
proposed as a part of the 1997 Budget.
A notice has been sent to liquor license holders advising them that the city council will be
considering this item Monday evening.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that there be no increase in liquor license fees for the 1997 /98 license year and
that the attached resolution be adopted by the city council.
