and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 67 -64
RESOLUTION SUPPORTING LEGISLATION WHICH WOULD REMOVE THE
STATUTORY ON FEES FOR OFF -SALE AND CLUB LIQUOR LICENSES
AND OFF -SALE NON INTOXICATING MALT LICENSES
WHEREAS, current statutes establish maximum fees which a
municipality may impose upon off -sale liquor, club liquor and
off -sale non intoxicating malt licenses; and
WHEREAS, the differing conditions in the several municipalities
of the state lead to a differential cost of enforcement and
regulation of such licensed establishments, but this differential is
not recognized by the statutory limits; and
WHEREAS, it has been established both in custom and at law that
the fee imposed for a regulatory or control license should be
reasonably related to the costs incurred by the municipality for
such control and regulation; and
WHEREAS, the present statutory limits inhibit the municipality
from establishing an equitable policy as regards license fees by
removing from the council the power to establish equitable fees
for the above noted licenses:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
of Brooklyn Center as follows:
1. The City Council supports and endorses the adoption of
legislation which would permit the local municipality to establish
just and equitable license fees for off -sale liquor licenses,
club liquor licenses and off -sale non intoxicating malt beverage
licenses, and therefore the Council urges the adoption of
H. F. 709 S. F. 852 and H. F. 710 S. F. 849.
2. The representatives of the people of Brooklyn Center are
herewith called upon to work for the adoption of this legislation
and the City Clerk is hereby directed to transmit copies of this
resolution to the representatives of Brooklyn Center in the House
of Representative and Senate, the Governor of the State of Minnesota,
and the chairmen and membership of the appropriate legislative
committees.
