This <br />ordinance shall also include imposition of an annual fee of $350 for the <br />issuance or renewal of the tobacco retail license as established by <br />resolution of the City Council to recover the total cost of administration, <br />implementation, monitoring and enforcement of the tobacco retail licensure <br />program. <br /> <br />Attached to this RFCA is a memorandum from the Chief of Police with more <br />data and background information on this issue. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br /> <br />The funding is anticipated to be self-funded by the new Tobacco Retailer <br />License fee. <br /> <br />@B:c-:- <br /> <br />Chief of Police <br />Police Department <br /> <br />758-2 <br />
