Report of the Committee of the Whole Meeting of December 13, 2021

Arlington Alfresco Re-discussion

Trustee Schwingbeck moved to authorize Staff to implement a Food & Beverage Tax and annual licensing fee to fund Arlington Alfresco for the Alfresco zone restaurants and non-Alfresco restaurants, which wish to use public property for outdoor seating. (This does not include “bump out” street dining situations.)  Implement an additional targeted Alfresco FBT of .75% effective February 1, 2022, applicable to FBT businesses within the Alfresco zone. These charges would be sufficient to cover the Village’s cost to produce Alfresco, potential private parking rent, and could help offset a portion of the Downtown Sounds of Summer events.

Trustee LaBedz seconded the motion.

B. Authorize staff to prepare an analysis and alternatives for a street performer or busking policy and guidelines, as permissible within the law, for Village Board consideration. Trustee Canty seconded the motion.
