(A) A regulatory license fee is imposed on the gross receipts from retail sales of alcoholic beverages under each license issued for the purpose of insuring full reimbursement to the city for the cost of any additional policing, regulatory, or administrative expenses related to the sale of alcoholic beverages in the city. The City Council shall adopt, at the budget adoption for the fiscal year, an annual rate for the regulatory license fee as shall be reasonably estimated to insure full reimbursement to the city for the cost of any additional policing, regulatory, or administrative expenses related to the sale of alcoholic beverages in the city. The regulatory license fee shall be in addition to any other taxes, fees, or licenses permitted by law, but a credit against the fee shall be allowed in an amount equal to the licenses or fees imposed under the provisions of this chapter.
(Ord. passed 5-7-92)
(B) The regulatory license fee shall be four percent (4%) for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2011 and continuing thereafter until amended or repealed.
