Please see the attached telephone survey, which the finance department conducted of SAC <br />and WAC fees in our neighboring communities. An increase in the SAC fee should not limit <br />development activities. <br /> <br />Aaunicipal Liquor Store <br />Not too much is changing in the municipal liquor store budget for 2003. The end of year <br />balance is being projected at $149,650 and this is very consistent with the projection last <br />year. One increase to note in the expenditure column is the transfer out to the city general <br />fund. This amount increased from $110,000 in 2001 to $120,000 in 2002 to $145,000 in <br />2003. This general fund transfer out amount is in addition to the transfer out for part of the <br />City Hall debt service. <br /> <br />The most significant activities associated with the liquor store in 2002 were the wine in <br />grocery store legislative proposal and the Westbound feasibility study. The wine in the <br />grocery store legislation did not get approved and after evaluation of the feasibility study <br />results, the City Council decided to not pursue a Westbound liquor store. <br /> <br />Legislation in 2003 for wine in the grocery stores is uncertain at this time but it would <br />surprise no one if another push for this proposal was made. The 2003 budget includes <br />funding for an educational program on this proposal - subject to City Council approval at a <br />later date. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />It is recommended that the City Council approve the following: <br /> <br />· The two recycling programs <br />· Garbage rate increase effective july 1, 2003 <br />· SAC increase effective January 1, 2003 <br />· Approve the garbage/recycling, WWTS, and liquor store enterprise fund budgets <br /> <br />3'/ Finance/ Budget/ En~unds <br /> <br /> <br />
