DISCU~SIOLN Mr. Hartley presented an outline indicating various items that the City does and does not charge a fee or rate for and suggested adjustments and establishment of rates for 1989. Mr. Hartley noted that there is a need for an ordinance which will allow the City to issue temporary on-sale liquor licenses and establishing a fee for same. The Committee discussed the possibility of a fee to cover investigation of the application and a daily charge for the term of the license. Mr. Hartley noted that the current fee for on-sale club is $100 and on-sale is $4000; holders of on-sale licenses feel they are forced to compete at an unfair advantage. The Budget Committee agreed that there should be a parody between the two license fees. Mr. Hartley was directed to research State statutes to determine if on-sale club is eligible to be charged the same license fee as on-sale. Discussion ensued as to whether or not recreational establishments should be charged a per device fee in addition to their license fee. The Personnel Committee discussed a need for a written policy regarding use and required deposits (damage fee) for park buildings. Chief Auspos stated that there is a high incidence of false alarms due to Budget Committee/August 29, 1988 Page 1 of 2
