Prescott City Council Regular Voting Meeting — August 8, 2006 Page 8 annexed 240 acres and then a couple of years later annexed 100 acres, how would that be handled as there was no fee for annexing under 250 acres and at what time would fees kick in. Mayor Simmons commented there needed to be some harmony between Proposition 400 and the fee schedule and asked staff to come back with new annexation fees reflecting how that situation would be handled and establish a trigger to collect the fees. Councilman Lamerson suggested having a mechanism in place for the situation when someone wanted to annex 1,000 or 2,000 acres to consider the water situation and maybe pay the fees as the property was developed. Mr. Guice commented development plans often changed and it would be his suggestion to establish a fee on the number of acres as part of an overall planning process. Councilman Lamerson concluded saying it was a high Council priority to annex as much land as possible to get everyone on sewer and control the development. Attorney GaryKidd suggested puttingthis on the agenda next week for 99 9 discussion. IV. REGULAR AGENDA A. Public Hearing and consideration of a liquor license application from Brian Lowe for a Person Transfer of the Series 6, Bar, License at Brian's Irish Pub, located at 218 West Gurley Street. Clerk Elizabeth Burke explained the public hearing was being held today; the application was a person transfer for Brian's Irish Pub; the property had been posted July 14 and no protests or comments had been received. The applicant was in the audience. Councilman Lamerson asked the question, unrelated to this item, why the State Liquor Board overturned Council decisions and why the Council bothered voting on them. Attorney Kidd responded State Statutes required approval or disapproval at the local level which recommendation was then forwarded to the State. Councilman Roecker asked staff to invite someone from the State Liquor Department to address Council and explain why a local vote of denial could be overturned by the State. -� Mayor Simmons redirected the Council to today's liquor license application.
