RESOLUTION #2008-17, Second readinQ/adoption of Alcoholic BeveraQe Retail LicensinQ Fees State's Attorney Birch Burdick introduced Assistant State's Attorney Tracy Peters, who drafted the resolution for alcoholic beverage retail licensing fees for consideration by the board. Mrs. Peters said she is present today to answer any questions about the proposed resolution. Mr. Bennett said with the new fee structure the beer and wine fee will increase from $100 to $500 per year. He asked if county establishments open five or six months each year be allowed to pay half the fee. Mrs. Peters said if the commission wishes, this could be incorporated into the resolution. She said the current beer and liquor license procedures do not include this provision. Mr. Burdick said someone would need to monitor whether these establishments are open for the period outlined in their license. Mr. Wagner said if an establishment purchases a beer and liquor license, the business is responsible for the hours of operation during the year. He said a fee increase has not been implemented in over 30 years and feels the proposed fee structure is appropriate. The chairwoman opened the public hearing for comment. Hearing no comments, she closed the public hearing. MOTION, passed Mr. Pawluk moved and Mr. Wagner seconded to approve the second reading and adopt Resolution #2008-17, Alcoholic Beverage Retail Licensing Fees as follows: On roll call vote, the motion carried with Mr. Pawluk, Mr. Wagner and Mrs. Sorum voting "Yes" and Mr. Bennett voting "No" .
