The Richfield Village Board voted Thursday to recind requiring a license for non intoxicatings beverages as well as requiring licenses for vending machines within the village. The decision means the village will not receive revenue from the fees. But it was done as a cost saving decision. Richfield Village Administrator Joshua Schoemann, said “I think the revenue is offset by savings in expense of staff”.
Staff time is needed to prepare, mail applications, process the paperwork, print and mail the applications. Village staff time is more costly than the revenue generate from the license fees.
The state of Wisconsin requires licenses to serve nonintoxicating beverages in its statutes. But it is unknown why the WI State statute was originally placed on the books. Probably as a way to generate revenue..
The repeal of the ordinance was met with approval.
