79 Regular Meeting February 27, 1984 Page 6 the reasonable charge to be paid up front with a refund at the end of the 3-year period, if overpaid. City Manager Gonzalez stated he thought all the LUE charges were reasonable, with the exception of restaurants, which was not in line yet. Director of Public Works Boeker said they were getting concrete information on restaurants and would make a presentation to the Council within four to six weeks. City Attorney Hankins stated the reason why a presentation was being made is because there was no provision in our Ordinance for a refund to be made if an appeal to the Council were denied and he felt an adjust- ment needed to be made. Mayor Craddock directed Mr. Hankins make such adjustment in the Ordinance to take care of this type situation. Mr. Hankins stated the restaurant definition was broad and he would work on defining different types of restaurants. Mr. Gonzalez stated while the Ordinance is being amended, he wanted a provision wherein the fee would be reviewed on an annual basis. Mr. Gonzalez advised the repre- sentatives of Carl's Jr. Restaurants they might consider paying the LUE charge of a restaurant operating 12 or less hours and receive their permit, and could amend their request later if the Council amends the Ordinance to a more acceptable LUE charge for 24 hour restaurants. t1r.
