Fiscal Note
On average, the Clerk's Office issues perhaps 60 Class A Beer licenses annually at the current fee of $300 per license, and about 50 licenses annually at the current fee of $425 per license. At $500 for each license, there would be an anticipated net increase in General Fund revenues of $15,750 annually ($200 x 60 = $12,000, plus $75 x 50 = $3,750).

DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This proposal establishes a uniform license fee of five hundred dollars for Class A Beer licenses. Currently the license fee is $300 if the licensee also holds a Class A liquor license and the license fee is $425 if the license does not hold such an additional license.
