Clerk's License List - Olympic Hills Club License and Chester's Liquor TL cense— �,conti nued from December 20, 1983) Finance Director Frane reviewed findings of a survey of surrounding communities regarding the license fees charged for golf clubs. He noted that Olympic Hills does not fall within the classification of a fraternal club and therefore the City Council is free to establish whatever fee deemed appropriate should it decide to issue Olympic Hills a club liquor license. r -= City Council Minutes -3- December 27, 1983 City Attorney Pauly stated this would require an amendment to the Fee Resolution. Pauly said he had discussed the matter with repre- sentatives of Olympic Hills and they agreed they do not fall into the fraternal club category. Gar Pihlstrom, attorney for the Club, said they had reviewed the Y Y issue. He distributed a letter (see attached) from Ted Parkin, Manager of Olympic Hills Golf Club, relating to this matter. Redpath asked if the Council could, legally, combine two elements in determining the appropriate fee: membership and a flat fee. Pauly said it was legal to do that. Various ways of determining the appropriate license fee were discussed as well as the manner in which membership figures would be determined/verified, MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Tangen, to amend the Fee Reso- lution, Section 2. 12 , to include a non-fraternal club category with the license fee set at 50% of the annual on-sale license fee. Motion carried with Bentley abstaining. C i ty Attorney Pauly stated the applicant for the liquor license for Chester' s is not the owner of the property. The applicant has paid the taxes for which he is liable and is therefore able to apply for and receive a liquor license. The corporation which owns the property is involved in the Chapter 11 issue. MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Tangen, to issue a liquor license to Chester' s . Motion carried unanimously. 2.
