Alderman Helding
Title
Whereas, the Common Council has gone on record as being opposed to the proliferation of establishments selling alcohol in the City of Racine inasmuch as an overabundance of said establishments is detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of its citizenry; and
Whereas, the State of Wisconsin sets the limit of "Class B" establishments for the City of Racine, but permits the City to exceed said number via a reserve "Class B" liquor license with a fee of $10,000; and
Whereas, the City's policy, pursuant to Resolution 1685 of May 26, 1998, has been to rebate $9,500.00 of the reserve fee upon the opening of the licensed establishment.
Now, therefore, be it resolved to repeal Resolution 1685 of May 26, 1998 and to establish a policy which does not rebate any portion of the reserve "Class B" liquor license fee.
