Packet includes proposals to move Yerington business and liquor license fees from quarterly to annual
Summary
The meeting packet included Resolutions 2026-05 and 2026-06 proposing to replace quarterly business and liquor license fee matrices with annual schedules, authorize prorated fees during transition, and convert existing businesses at their next renewal. The committee did not take final action at the meeting.
Resolutions in the May 4, 2026 Administrative Committee packet propose changing the City of Yerington’s business and liquor license billing cycles from quarterly to annual.
Resolution 2026-05 would amend the City Fee Schedule to replace the Quarterly Business License Fee Matrix with an annual matrix intended to maintain overall revenue neutrality. The resolution authorizes the City Manager to establish prorated fees during the initial transition and directs that existing businesses be converted to annual billing at their next renewal date.
Resolution 2026-06 would make a parallel change for liquor license fees, replacing the quarterly liquor license fee with an annual liquor license fee and application fee. It includes the same implementation language giving the City Manager authority to set prorated fees during the transition.
The packet also includes the City’s existing fee schedules and the quarterly matrices used under current practice. The meeting minutes and packet text do not record a committee vote on either resolution at the May 4 meeting; both resolutions remained in the packet as items for possible action, and staff noted implementation would occur upon Council action and the schedule established by the City Manager.
If adopted by the City Council, the measures would change billing frequency and administrative process but do not specify fee increases; both resolutions state an intent to maintain competitive, revenue-neutral annualized fee levels. The committee asked staff to include administrative corrections and present final documents for Council consideration.
