Revenue increases are allocated to the following components: 1) $4,400,000 from the 2% increase in the markup; $55,000 from streamlined renewal fees; $110,000 from training fees (all in FY 2018); $385,000 ongoing off-premise beer license (beginning in FY 2019); and $330,000 one-time off-premise beer license in FY 2019.
