Council lowers class H liquor-license fee to $1,250 in code amendment
Summary
After brief council discussion comparing fees, members voted to amend city code to set the class H liquor-license fee at $1,250, down from $1,850; the ordinance change was adopted by roll call.
The Crystal Lake City Council adopted an ordinance amending several chapters of the municipal code to change licensing fees for certain liquor license classifications.
During council questions, a councilmember noted that the existing congregate-care facility fee was $1,850 while the fee for certain sports facilities was $1,250 and asked whether those rates reflected appropriate equity. Staff confirmed the congregate-care fee was existing but offered, and council agreed, to reduce the class H fee to $1,250.
Councilmember (speaker 7) moved to adopt the ordinance amending Chapters 158, 241 and 329 to set the class H license fee at $1,250; the motion was seconded and passed by roll call (votes recorded in the transcript). The motioned change will amend the municipal fee schedule for class H licenses and take effect as provided in the adopted ordinance.
Council members thanked staff for the reclassification work that clarified fees and categories; staff indicated the fee change required no additional public notice beyond the ordinance action.
