3 OLD BUSINESS
3.1 Review following City of Superior license applications (and their current fees)
Councilor Sweeney requested City Clerk Ramos continue to complete the license fee comparison
grid and offered to supply list of municipalities he wanted included in the comparison. He also
asked that the committee be supplied with the total number of licenses currently maintained by the
City Clerk’s Office. He also requested current license periods (and whether they were set by city
code or state statute) be available for each at the next meeting.
Councilor Sweeney added that his goal was to simplify the data for easier updating in the future.
Councilor Graskey commented that the comparison spreadsheet allowed for the committee to see
what kinds of licensing activity was trending among other municipalities, which allowed for them
to set policy on if/how they wanted new licenses/permits managed in the City of Superior.
