Champaign council backs continuing increases on liquor license costs
The higher fee schedule was introduced last year as one way to deal with a $6 million budget gap, and in a 7-2 vote Tuesday, the city council reaffirmed its support for the program as the city readies itself to adopt another tight budget.
The liquor licensing and enforcement process is expensive, said Deputy Liquor Commissioner Teri Legner. The proposed increases will generate more than $78,000 in extra revenues from about 180 liquor licensees during the next four years.
