TO: Mayor Richard C. Irvin
FROM: Jennifer Stallings, City Clerk
DATE: August 19, 2021
SUBJECT:
A Resolution to Establish Annual Fees for Complimentary Alcohol Service liquor licenses as defined in Chapter 6, Alcoholic Liquor, of the Code of Ordinances, City of Aurora, Illinois.
PURPOSE:
To set the annual fee for Complimentary Alcohol Service liquor licenses.
BACKGROUND:
On October 8, 2019, the City created a new liquor license classification entitled, Class T - Full Service Salon and Spa, pursuant to O19-066. On April 14, 2020, the City created a new on-site consumption license definition for Complimentary Beer and Wine, pursuant to O20-023. This definition was subsequently modified to Complimentary Alcohol Service (and includes Salons and Spas) on August 10, 2021, pursuant to O21-040. A fee needs to be set for the now-combined Class T and Complimentary Alcohol Service license classification before the issuance of a license in this classification.
DISCUSSION:
All liquor license classification fees were set on December 18, 2018, pursuant to R18-331, with the exception of the subsequently created Complimentary Alcohol Service license. There is currently no yearly license fee set for the new Complimentary Alcohol Service license. Based upon a review of the fees of several Illinois municipalities, it was found that fees for similar licenses typically range from $100.00 per year to $1,000.00 per year. Staff recommends setting the yearly license fee for Complimentary Alcohol Service at $350.00 per year.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
This change will allow businesses to apply for a Complimentary Alcohol Service liquor license.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff requests that the proposed Resolution be approved.
