2-1-15: RENEWAL OF LICENSE:
   A.   Each licensee may renew his or her license at the expiration thereof; provided, that he or she is then qualified to receive said license, and the premises for which such renewal license is sought is suitable for the purpose; provided further, that the renewal privilege herein contained shall not be construed as a vested right which shall in any case prevent the City Council from decreasing the number of licenses to be issued within the City.
   B.   The requirements and procedures for obtaining a renewal of a license shall be the same as that provided in case of an original application for a license.
   C.   Any request for renewal must be received with the appropriate renewal fee not later than November 1 of the year prior to the year for which a license is being requested. Failure to apply by this date shall result in such renewal being denied unless good cause is shown to excuse such failure.
   D.   The annual license fee, as distinguished from the renewal fee provided in section 2-1-26 of this chapter, must be paid at the time the license is issued by the City Clerk.
   E.   The failure to renew a license as prescribed or to pay the required annual license fee before the expiration date shown on the license being renewed shall result in the lapse of said license. (Ord. 06-87, 11-2-1987)
   F.   No licensee may sell liquor after the expiration of his or her license until the license has been reissued after payment of the annual license fee. Failure to pay the annual license fee or the second installment thereof shall be grounds to revoke said license if the appropriate fee is not paid in full within five (5) working days of the date due, along with the late payment fee as set out in section 2-1-26 of this chapter. (Ord. 06-87, 11-2-1987; amd. 2017 Code)
