Regular Meeting March 28, 2005 Mayor Adams said what he thought Mr. Ollendorff meant was that this applicant could have a packaged liquor license, which means they can sell it but not consume it. He said the ordinance allows two packaged liquor stores in the entire city, he thought. Mayor Adams said Mr. Ollendorff was shaking his head and that is the way he remembers it also. They could get packaged liquors but they could not sell it for consumption on site. Mayor Adams reiterated that there had been a motion to disapprove and a second. The motion to disapprove passed unanimously. Mayor Adams said the liquor license has been disapproved; it has been rejected. Agenda Item # Six –Annual Park & Recreation Fee Schedule Mr. Ollendorff recommended adoption of the 2005-06 Fee Schedule as developed in accordance with the Park and Recreation Fee Policy adopted by the City Council last year. These changes are also recommended following review by the Park Commission. Most fees change only slightly due to budgeted cost increase. Mr. Ollendorff reported that the Park Commission wants one change, to have a resident rental rate for the community center but he does not recommend it because it is so difficult to administer, but he understands there is good support for it by the Park Commission and from several members of Council. He asked that if the Council does accept a reduction in rentals from community resident groups, that they agree to a definition, being that the group should have seventy-five per cent residents. That is the number which allows for reduced rates for teams in other University City facilities, so he suggested it as a definition. Finally, he asked the Council to assist in finding ways to compensate for the lost revenue. Ms. Brungardt said as Council liaison to the Parks Commission she was present at the discussion of this matter. The commissioners felt strongly that the rental rate for the community center was not advantageous to citizens and this policy was detrimental. They discussed the issue extensively. She disagrees with Mr. Ollendorff’s addendum to the policy formed by the commissioners. Seventy-five per cent citizen representation is too difficult to keep track of. The rate arrived at was an interesting compromise. She commented that the City Manager can count on the Council to help manage the revenue streams. Ms. Brot asked Ms. Brungardt if the chart before the Council was developed by the Parks Commission. Ms. Brungardt said the chart was developed by the staff and presented to the Parks Commission for review. In the yellow section of the chart are the specific items reviewed by the Parks Commission, with regards to resident fees for the community center. Ms. Brot wanted to know if the numbers on the chart, “private event Page 9
