Title
Amending Sections 38.08(4)(a) and (e), and 38.09(5)(d)2. and repealing Section 38.03(2)(d) of the Madison General Ordinances to reflect the 2014 Changes to Alcohol License Fees and Structure.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: The Common Council adopted BOE Amendments 3 and 4 to the 2014 Operating Budget, which raised license fees for Operator’s (bartender’s) licenses and Class A Beer licenses. The Common Council also proposed to reduce the economic development grant for those granted a Class B Reserve License, from $10,000 to $7,500, resulting is a savings to the City of $2,500 per license. It is necessary to amend Madison General Ordinances in order to implement those budget provisions. The repeal of Sec. 38.03(2)(d) reflects that the time period in which the text of that ordinance was operative has passed, and the provision is no longer applicable.
