HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
ROGER NELSON, CITY MANAGERR/
JANUARY 4, 2000
AMEND CHAPTER 4 ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES FEE
SCHEDULE
Consider adopting an ordinance amending the Grapevine Code of Ordinances, Chapter
4 Alcoholic Beverages, Section 4-7 Fee Schedule to eliminate fee collection for the
Mixed Beverage Late Hours and Caterer's Permits during the first three years of the
permits.
BACKGROUND:
Sections 11.38, 29.03 and 31.04 of the Alcoholic Beverage Code provide that cities may
levy and collect a fee not to exceed one-half the State fee for each permit issued for
premises located within the City. State law provides that Mixed Beverage Permits,
Mixed Beverage Late Hours Permits and Caterer's Permits are exempt for the first three
years. The City Code currently exempts the fee for Mixed Beverage permits for the first
three years.
The proposed amendment would bring the City Code into compliance with State law and
eliminate collecting fees for the Mixed Beverage Late Hours Permit and the Caterer's
Permit for the first three years following issuance of the permits. Attached is a copy of
the City's existing code.
