Department Approval �. �: � Item Description �� .r- REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: 06/15/15 Item No.: l 0.b City Manager Approval Consider Changes to City Code Chapter 314.05: the 2015 Fee Schedule BACKGROUND The 2015 Fee Schedule was adopted by ordinance in December of last year. The Council is now asked to revise the Fee Schedule to accommodate the creation of a new on-sale and off-sale license category �� for microdistilleries. The creation of these new categories were discussed at the Council's 6/8/15 meeting and are scheduled to be incorporated into the City Code at the 6/15/15 meeting. It is suggested that the Council establish a fee of $750 for the on-sale microdistillery cocktail room license which is consistent with the on-sale brewery taproom fee charged to microbreweries. It is further suggested that the Council establish a fee of $300 for the off-sale microdistillery license which is consistent with all other off-sale licenses in the City. The attached files contain the draft ordinance and ordinance summary to be considered at the June 15, 2015 Council meeting. POLICY OBJECTIVE Adopting an annual fee schedule is consistent with governmental best practices and ensures that the City's regulatory functions are properly funded. FINANCIAL IMPACTS Based on the recommended fee adjustments, it is projected that revised fees will generate revenues sufficient to cover the City's added regulatory costs. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council approve an ordinance amending Chapter 314.05 revising the 2015 Fee Schedule. REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION Motion #1: Approve the attached Ordinance amending Chapter 314.05 revising the 2015 Fee Schedule. Motion #2: Approve the attached ordinance summary.
