(i) Directo r Gry g!ewicz presented a re comm endat ion from the Department or Finance and
Adm inistrative Services to approve a ,,.solution increasing fee s for the issuance of liquor licenses and perm its.
He sa id this is a resolution setting fees for various liquor licenses and perm its. Counc il is aware that the City
follows State Statutes to set liquor lice nses , fees and permits . The fees have not been changed for over 20
years . Al the Study Session on Februa ry 4, 2008 , Coun cil discu ssed the issue and directed staff to prepare a
bill for ord inance , wh ic h would allow liq uor licenses and permits to be set by resolution . Counc il approve d
Council Bill 13 on fir st reading on February 19, 2008 and just approved it on second reading . Th is re solution will
set new license fees , from their current $500 .00 for new licenses , on or before July 1, 2008 to $625 .00 ; after
July 1, 2008 and before July 2, 2009 , at $750 .00 ; after July 1, 2009 and before July 2, 2010 , they will be
$875 .00 and after July 2, 2010 , they wlll be $1 ,000 .00 . For transfers of location or ownersh ip, the current fee is
$500 .00 . On or before July 1, 2008 , the fee will be $625 .00 ; after July 1, 2008 it will be $750 .00 . For renewal of
•
license , which is currently $50 .00 , on o, before July 1, 2008 , they will be $75 .00 ; after July 1, 2008 , the fee will
b~ $100 .00 . The amount for an exp ired renewal liquor licens e wi ll not change from the current $500 .00 charge .
The application for a special perm it, wh ich is currently $25 .00 , will be $100 .00 . And these fee s help offset the
cost of providing these serv ices to licensed ho lders and appl icants .
Co uncil Membe r Mccasli n asked how is th is informati on relayed to the liq uor lice ns ees or will th ey fin d out about
the increases when they renew the ir license?
Director Gryglew lcz said whe n they ren ew their license they 'll be made aware of that. For new ap pl icants, it will
be included in thei r packet s, as to what those fees are .
Counc il Member Penn asked Frank , have we made thes e peop le aware th at we are mak ing these cha nges ?
Have they been not ified at all? Is that part of our proce ss?
Director Gryglew icz said we have not notified them at th is time . This was published in th e Herald twi ce, the
public has been ma de aware of ii and we 'll ma ke the applicants aware or it in the packet s ... wh en they come to
ap ply and for renewals , they will know that at the time of renewals .
Ma yor Wo odwa rd asked if there were any ot her questions . Th ere were none .

Mayor Woodward said co rre ct me ,r I'm wrong , but this just stays in line with what State Statute has for fe es,
which changed back in August 2007 . Certain ly people have had the opportunity to note th ese increases and
probably the liquor sto res are more aware of this increase than we were .
Mayor Wcodward asked if there was any other discussion . There was none .

12. General Discussion
(a) Mayo~s Cho ice
(i) Mayor Woodward ·aid I want to congratulate Englewood citizen Bill Golding who was
hono red as the Health One outstanding employee , of the seven hospitals in the Metro area , and he is employed
over at Swedish Hospital. He received this award at the Avalanche game on February 18th
• II is an award give n
by the largest employer In the City. So congratulations to Mr. Gold ing .
(b) Council Members' Choice
(i) Council Member Moore sa id at the last Council session I had to bri ng to Council's
attention to the fact that we had an unpaid amount due the City from fomner Council Member Barren tine. She
•
has since ch osen to pay the invoice, so I withdraw the request for a resolution that we had consensus on last •
sess io n, as we won 't need it. Thank you .
(ii) Counci l Membe r Oakley sa id I attended the Po lice and Fire Awards Ceremony last
Thursday. It was focused this year around the new structuring of the department and new employees and it was
a very nic e ce remony .
(iii) Council Member W ilson:
1. She said in our packet we had infomnation regard ing the He ra ld writing a• article abo ut the bu ilding,
about the superintendent and about the Smart Cars, I think it was a real positive ;,rticle about Englewood . I
wanted to thank Tom . We also have one In the Villager abnut the housing and I appreciate that. I think it just
shows a lot or lhe change th at's happen ing in Englewood and I thinf. it's rea lly positive.
2. She said as far as Bob's request for the infor..,•lic n co the fund ing mechanism Denver's us in g for the
Broadway Improvement Plan ... I do have some inrorrr ,tion for Community Development that I ca n give you, as I
was at on e of the executive summary meeting s. I have tr,eir C ity Cour,cil minutes and I have lhe area that is
going to be done. So, I'll give this to Alan and you can look it over.
Mayor Woodward asked if that was Harold that responded and if it shou ld be passed on to Ha,old .
Council Member W ilson responded that no, it was Mark. So, I'll pass it on .
13 . City Manager's Report
(a) City Manage r Sears said it is a pleasure to introduce an intern that we have in our department
for a period of time ... a short period of time, unfortunately. She is a senior at the University or Denver. Her •
name is Christine Adams . So, you will probably be seeing her aga in at a meeting or two . We're happy to have
her on board .
