ASSUMPTION
The Department of Public Safety - Division of Liquor Control (DPS) estimates that 12 establishments would seek a special permit as outlined in Section 311.178. The estimated increase in license fees would be approximately $3,600 (12 X $300) per year.
DPS further assumes that Section 311.220 allows cities to charge one and one-half the state liquor license fee amounts and counties to charge an amount equal to the state liquor license fee amount. DPS assumes that seventy-five percent of licensees that will obtain an extended hours license are located within a municipality. Therefore, the cities will collect additional revenue of $4,050 ($3,600 x 1.5 x 75%). The counties additional revenue collection will equal the state revenue increase of $3,600.
The Department of Public Safety - Missouri Water Patrol (DWS) states this proposal would increase substantially the night time boating traffic on Lake of the Ozarks. It would logically result in an increase in accidents, violations and calls for service. Water Patrol shifts would have to extend to 24 hours a day with a greater night time presence. To extend shifts without additional officers would leave the day and evening shifts significantly understaffed.
The additional manpower to enforce the new law will necessitate a minimum of 7 additional officers in this district. The DWS assumes a need for an additional five (5) Water Patrol Officers (at $37,068 annually), one (1) Water Patrol Corporal (at $40,716 annually), one (1) Water Patrol Sergeant (at $45,156 annually), one (1) dispatcher (at $29,040 annually) and one (1) clerk typist (at $20,472 annually) at current market rates as a result of this proposed legislation. The additional dispatcher is needed to handle the additional radio traffic, filing and entering citations and warnings and the one additional clerk typist is needed handle the paperwork that is generated by the 7 additional officers.
The DWS states that related Expense & Equipment including boats, trucks, trailers, computers, office equipment, technical equipment (radar guns, guns, uniforms, etc.) is necessary and is based on specific equipment to administer the impact of this bill. Total anticipated expenses as a result of this proposal per the Missouri Water Patrol, including salary, fringe benefits and equipment, are $1,237,757 in FY 2002, $689,626 in FY 2003, and $700,583 in FY 2004.
Oversight assumes that the Water Patrol can request additional FTE and related Expense and Equipment in the normal budget process after studying the actual impact this proposal would have on the Lake of the Ozarks boat traffic. For purposes of this fiscal note, Oversight assumes that the Department of Public Safety - Missouri Water Patrol will not be fiscally impacted by the proposed legislation.
