The dUes of New <br /> Brighton, Mounds View, Coon Rapids, Shoreview and Roseville have been <br /> Llsed for comparisons. See Exhibits 1 and 2 attached, <br /> RECOMMENDATION The fees for on sale liquor licenses should be increased . <br /> bv 1 Oo~, <br /> , . <br /> Rationale: fees for on sale liquor licenses ha\re not been lllcreased since . <br /> j 986. During the intervening 4 years the costs of operating the City of <br /> i'.rden Hills have 1l1creased. A IO?'. 1l1crease in rates assumes an average 2,5 <br /> ?; 1l1crease in costs over the 4 Veal'S, The fees resulting from a 10% increase <br /> , , <br /> will be within the range of current fees from com m unities for which we have <br /> data, <br /> RECOivlMENDATION: All otl1el' fees should remain at their current levels, <br /> Rationale Most of these fees were increased in 1988 and they appear to be <br /> consistent with fees in the communities surveyed.
